The Wayback #5 | Ari Shaffir

[@lacefacethegreat]

My washer broke yesterday so I'm at the laundry mat today. Put on today's new episode of The Wayback and the girl beside me said "Is that Ryan Sickler? I know that laugh anywhere." And now me and my new friend Rachel are watching The Wayback together and then the Honeydew. Sickler uniting people together one giggle at a time. I love it, this, and you Ryan! Keep up the great work. ❤

[@loganvance195]

Best laugh in comedy 😂

[@michaels9874]

Fucker I did ✋

[@slugg000]

Oh, not wearing headphones. What an a-hole.

[@alexsandoval7051]

Awesome story

[@MultiTravellingman]

The story you will tell your future children.

[@Hardwired_Productions]

Say what you want about Ari, but I respect and appreciate that he is unapologetically himself.

[@thokim84]

His special was titled "JEW."

[@mylesclark8856]

Hey Ryan. I’ve been watching YMH, Two Bears, and Kill Tony for years and I just wanted to let you know that this new podcast is my new favorite.

[@Br_ittany1119]

The old pics of Ari are so good. I can't even imagine him as a sweet little boy lol.

[@curtisss]

I feel like it's a perfect example of how life makes people cynical to be honest 😂

[@Mr.NorthSacra916Xfour]

These episodes need to be longer, at least the standard 1 hour.

[@MrBuketman]

The host is great, but half of the guests aren’t worth our time. Even though Ari drugged a guy most of us can’t stand, he still drugs people. And here comes the shadow ban.

[@Mr.NorthSacra916Xfour]

@@MrBuketman Bert was being a drama queen blowing that out of proportion he was probably happy deep inside because he knew he would get sympathy and have something to talk about so all the attention would be on him.

[@MrBuketman]

@@Mr.NorthSacra916Xfour Sounds like we mostly agree. That’s Bert. He and about a dozen of these trendy unfunny “comedians” owe a giant refund to us “poor people”. You can’t drug a person for a giggle. Not defending Bert.

[@curtisss]

I would like to agree but I feel like the short nature of them keeps you wanting more and is part of the reason people come back. I think it's a great idea

[@JacquesLeCoq26]

“It’s a quick hitter” - Sickler

[@joshisajedi2461]

This is one of those podcasts that NEEDS to be longer. This is the perfect feel good podcast.

[@Scrub_Jake]

Ari is highly underrated 🔥

[@experssion123]

He does it to himself lol.

[@NickPR87]

I've never been a fan of Ari, but he was so relatable and much more chill on this.

[@Tunes_Teacher]

Sickler is still givin’ us gifts over a month after the holidays 🎁 Love both your pods, Ryan!

[@nailsi-am5324]

Y'all are killing it with this podcast. Great guests and the best host in the business.

[@melissaandjosh6210]

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite weekly podcasts. Great guests and great stories. Can’t wait for the Uncle Joey episode someday.

[@SolidRollin]

I still have a bottle of Obsession in a box somewhere. Good times.

[@byronchannells4517]

I got my first bottle of obsession at 18, I'm 46 now an still spraying that shit on me!!

[@IFIMTHEDEV1L]

All hail Princess! The sweetest girl with the softest ears🫶

[@SomethingEasty]

You two together always present top of the line, laid back content without feeling lazy. Would love to see more of the dou!

[@kellybode4812]

Ryan ,I love this show! Brings back memories, of childhood. 💜🤣🤣

[@PrincessPeaches2030]

I love this podcast I wish it was longer for more laughs as I work my part time job.

[@anthonywutkowski199]

This is such a fun premise for a podcast.

[@gnarcloud]

These are fantastic!!! Binge watching every one of them over the last 2 days.

[@jamesmanriquez3493]

Love thjs new show.. we need an hour

[@ShugPhD]

This is a really great pod

[@TheUltimateGC]

This is such a well produced podcast. I love the added image and video content, adds a lot of perspective. Great episode. Good vibes.

[@styles430]

I grew up in New York and remember going to see the NY Giants play the Harlem Globetrotters in basketball. Ari bringing up watching the Oriels play basketball reminded me of it. I went to more Yankees games than I can remember. Love it. (early 80’s baby)

[@justJayMall]

dude love these shorter format talks, the stories feel so personal! Your the man, Thank you

[@RealSykes]

Hey Ryan, really liking The Wayback so far. Great production value, I love the occasional pictures of the guests childhood, the set looks great too.

[@anthonyperri9463]

This is an awesome podcast Ryan. Ari has never been better behaved. Really enjoyed seeing Ari in this light. I’ve actually gained a lot more respect for Ari. His Diaz story was tremendous! Thank you to you both.

[@gregoryhines7]

This was a good one. I'm from Maryland as well, such a throwback for me. Thanks guys. Btw WPOC is still 93.1 and I listen everyday

[@JesseS2300]

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite podcasts. Thanks Ryan!

[@matthewcarlin1032]

Best episode yet lol seeing Ryan connect with another Baltimore kid was hilarious

[@martin8829]

The best thing about this pod is the intro doesn’t take 1 hour like the honey dew

[@daviskruggles]

Very very quickly becoming my favorite podcast to listen to!! I appreciate the 30 minute episodes, I can’t normally sit through a whole podcast. But I could honestly listen to Ryan all day long especially with that laugh.

[@497chris]

23:21 My grandfather on my mom's side born in the 1930's had a Babe Ruth Rookie card as a kid, but his mom never kept track of it over the years. I told him these days that could be worth over a million dollars! The look on his face was priceless 😂.

[@PhartGod]

I love that you incorporate old pictures with the stories. What a great podcast concept!

[@ryannorman84328]

these need to be longer. good stuff.

[@chefwest77]

Man my dad passed away from cancer when I was 26....shit hurt....but when I was in the grocery store this older guy walked past me and I smelled my dad I had to stop him...tears in my eyes😂 I had to ask him "excuse me sir this might be weird but what scent are u wearing?" He's like it's brut it's sold here in the store I said thank you soo much...went and bought 2 cans...it's now all I wear. Just to have that scented memory of my dad with me always. I never saw the og one that you showed now I know😂😂😂😂

[@mikenew5380]

Really digging these throw back photos man!

[@kruger14]

Ari talking about baseball cards remindsd me I pulled a 1992 donruss elite Frank Thomas at the Dugout in Chatham Mall..$1 pack and the card was worth $250..great MD memories

[@ETAisNOW]

Ari is awesome

[@AhYesIndeedItsFunTime]

at drugging his friends

[@ETAisNOW]

@@AhYesIndeedItsFunTime Bert don’t release that podcast because it’ll show what a great time he had, he even said it got him to quit being a drunk for awhile, I bet his family was happy.

[@Arcturuseyes]

As a kid I also rode in the wayback, my grandparents had a giant stationwagon

[@j-bobarnhill]

Love this show and love Sickler! I could watch this for hours

[@jakesmall3454]

Love the new pod and love the way back pictures!!!

[@andystreet339]

My first concert was Lynard Skynard and. Ted Nugget at Starwood amphitheater in Nashville Tennessee

[@TruckerWilly]

as a truck driver nothing better than a kid trying to get a air horn then scaring the shit out of the parents driving

[@landrec2]

I love this. Thanks for sharing all your stories and lives, I really enjoy them and find them therapeutic.

[@AndrewSmith-pc8eq]

This ones becoming my favorite podcast! I'm an old fart tho' too!

[@codytaylor2397]

Ryans laugh always gets me. Sounds like letting the air out of a ballon! 🎈

[@drsmith4806]

I was so hooked on river raid for i bet a full year just couldn't stop lol, man be young teen threw the 80s was so much fun video games, computers, boom boxes, walk-man, tech & of course the MUSIC was incredible. Love having a smoke or eatable & reliving the 80s for few hours. 🖒🎶🕪🎤📀

[@Darkwingmpc]

Sickler wearing the fucking Kobe shirt. 😂

[@julioenrique8552]

Right on time for the three year anniversary RIP Kobe 💝

[@jamesalexander8872]

Try 4 years

[@AndrewSmith-pc8eq]

Ari Shaffir is the epitome of Comedic freedom of speech, and expression! He was the ONLY one making Kobe jokes when he died, and he's one of the major reasons the canceling stopped and comics can say what they want without fear! He stood up before Chapelle. Before anyone else, refusing to be "cancelled". Daring the world to try! He's my comic hero, and I just want to say, thank you for being so brave and fearless!

[@moodfm5673]

before chapelle? he stood up when ari was still studying to be a jew priest...

[@thegarge7476]

Gaaaaaaay

[@rachelbergmann926]

Good times at several Merriweather concerts! OMG do you remember Jerry Springer doing commercials for Liberty Ford in Randallstown/Baltimore? I love this podcast so much!!!!! Grew up in Baltimore County and now live in Carroll County. I love the Honeydew and I count down every week for the way back!!!!! I could watch this show all day!

[@robs8754]

Love this podcast Sickler

[@AaronHarver-dj4yq]

Ryan my man you have got to make these longer

[@Arcturuseyes]

I love this show, Ryan is great a goin back, and he always has a crazy story

[@AaronZuniga617]

I love love this pod and I love that Ryan brings such a unique side out of all his guests and I laugh every time I could watch for 2 hours haha

[@Kilo-Clutch]

The Merriweather post Pavillion was one of my favorite concert venues. You could get cheap lawn tickets and still have the time of your life!!!

[@Kilo-Clutch]

Now known as "Jiffy Lube Live"

[@Cougswiin]

Love you Sickler

[@dalehybki9973]

I just wanna say. As a truck driver, someone asking for the horn makes us just as happy as the kids are asking.

[@howardlloyd9183]

Ari is that friend ya kinda wanna forget you have. But when he pop's up inconveniently of course and keeps you up later than you know you should be it's still kinda cool.

[@Kevstir17]

Great pod! MD native I know all these spots, the shout out to Moose was huge he was my favorite player growing up.

[@MrWhatuwantho]

Finally a good episode

[@howzechris1]

I wish this podcast was a hour or two long

[@naturescucandfeeders2810]

Can’t wait to go see you on Sunday!!!🥹

[@a.k.4o]

I thought I had the sickest first concert experience, but yours definitely does

[@martinkenealy2306]

Love this pod. Good vibes. A great balance with The Dew.....

[@AaronHarver-dj4yq]

Those old commercials were something else, the bandaid one gets me all the time along with the old Chevy ones “we love baseball, hotdogs, apple pie and Chevrolet”

[@erinmclee4198]

Best pod cast ever.

[@jencook3287]

I absolutely love these episodes!!

[@czr16]

Crazy how guests will show up on all the podcasts one week. It's like they doing a podcast tour lol

[@goodluck2522]

It's annoying.. it's too much

[@marcplatek3113]

Pre recorded

[@rainorshine6998]

Dont watch then lmao. Some people enjoy it​@@goodluck2522

[@andrewashford5617]

It’s called a media run🤡

[@OkieBadu]

They sort of are. They are all on tour or about to tour.

[@kristinH82]

I love Merriweather, always a local fave! …I’ve saved every ticket stub toooo! 😂 but first show there was over 20 years ago and just went back to take my daughter to a concert ❤️ ….ya gotta ☁️ in the merrifield! Lol

[@LorSTApunk07]

The Jhoon Rhee jingle / reaction had me rolling!

[@PolishGypski]

Ari the man of many faces. You look great , Ari.

[@steadfasttherenowned2460]

My uncle gave me his colecovision in like 1993. I still have it to this day. It worked last time i tried it out. Unfortunately, I don't have a TV that will work with it so it hasn't been turned on since like 1999-2000 I got a few good nintendo classics like donkey Kong and a few sega games for it. And Buck Rogers Adventures on reel to reel cassette.

[@PhaedruS007]

I'm really liking the new format of reminiscing. Fortunately I'm around the same age as these guys so I think it lands a lot harder for us. Same thing with the @areyougarbage crew and their format… This may be the last time we can connect as a generation in this way because back then we all had the same TV movies and commercials etc. Now that entertainment has gone unscheduled and basically unlimited we don't have that societal connection that crosses all class and ethnicity.

[@jujubean1185]

5:46 Ari IS the embodiment of Beavis...huhuh.

[@dubyac30OU]

The Big Hurt poster was on my wall! Badass!!

[@enk4s3d77]

Had all the Frank Thomas cards too, he was my guy. Also had a signed Mike Mussina rookie card, and I remember he had a black eye at the signing.

[@matthewgeissinger2856]

I remember the dealers having those competitions for cars. My dad got invited to one and we were one of the last families to go. We stood there all day for nothing since we didn’t win.

[@maceroee]

Damn Sickler dragging his mom through the mud again!!! She's watchin!!! Lmao

[@andrewashford5617]

Needs to be an hour longer!

[@TheKingOfBeans]

30 minutes it’s spot on for this show 👌

[@jaygq1543]

I was at that Taping of the Jon Stewart Show! It was back in 95 when Coolio just came out with Gangsta’s Paradise. Jon Stewart was smoking cigarettes like a chimney during commercial breaks!

[@melissaeager3410]

8:19 on my 2nd bday 1986 Sickler was at that concert! 🤯

[@Scuba8way2many]

Colecovison with the Atari adapter was the best flex. Play both systems games on one.

[@kevinbernhardt3568]

Ari is really likable when he lets his guard down. He’s still funny just being himself and not playing the exaggerated angry guy thing he does

[@sapphiresux]

damn i need these longer

[@freeway9437]

One my favorite podcasts

[@minvikes79]

By far the best new podcast this year ❤

[@philliptroeckler2092]

God these are the best podcast good job Ryan!!!

[@rtistik94]

Killer episode! Lovin' the way back.

[@shavedicesongs]

Joon Rhee! that was my JAM!!! WRITTEN AND RECORDED BY NILS LOFGREN

[@kylegcomedy6748]

Holy shit, Sickler. Your subscription base has doubled in like a year. I see you out here. Keep it up.

[@TheSelbah]

Been loving The Wayback, long time Honeydew listener but you are getting a different thing going with this. Just wanted to say I love what's going on here.

[@troynorton7627]

Fantastic!!

[@kristinH82]

I am in heaven right now being a born in and never left Marylander! Add Ryan’s laugh, the nostalgia… this is truly epic Ryan!!holy shit that creepy giveaway dude is familiar ack 🙈🙈 oooo rep Carroll county, heard that lol

[@casualwater698]

Gonna go around with "nobody bothers me" stuck in my head for the next 14 years.

[@andrewashford5617]

Yup! If u were bad u had to sit in the back. That’s why my 4th grade teacher thought she was punishing the bad kids by making us sit in the back of her station wagon for the field trip but that shhh was hella fun!

[@DarkmacGG]

Born maryland. Mom knew you. You answersed before xD. Glad some of my fav comics are from MD. Up in Frederick now ayeeelolol

[@MrAberham33]

this is fantastic

[@trevorhansen2959]

Its hard keeping up with these fire podcasts 🔥

[@matthewt3369]

New fave….. I love and hate the length of the videos
