People of the earth! Throw down your weapons and rejoice in this excellent conversation I recorded with Brazilian comedy superstar Rafinha Bastos.
In the past year Rafi has become one of my best friends. He
lives in my building and we often talk comedy, help each other with
jokes and go to the clubs together, all in service to our number
one love in life, comedy.
Now he is moving to New York City so that he can be closer to
Brazil for when he has to fly home to his son Tom and continue to
follow his dream of making his mark as a stand up comedian in
America. In this episode we talk about his favorite things about
America, the best jokes he's written here, Bolsonaro letting the
Amazon burn, CNN where the house is always on fire and the best
advice a father could ever give to his son. Also in this chat is
possibly the birth of what will become his next Netflix special.
Also revealed is the knowledge nugget that is the connection
between Crazy Horse and Nebraska. Great things happen when I gather
with this friend and through the miracle of technology I can pour
it straight into your head. You have to love a guy that cheered
against his own country of Brazil when I saw the soccer match
between Brazil and Peru with him and that guy is the one and only
Rafinha Bastos!
