Tom Segura holds it down solo on this episode of Your Mom’s House while Christina is away, and he’s joined by comedian Ari Matti for one wildly funny conversation. Ari breaks down his insane journey from Estonia to Melbourne, London, New York, and Austin, explains how he learned to do stand-up in a second language, and talks about going from open mics overseas to getting passed at The Comedy Mothership and becoming a Kill Tony regular.

Along the way, Tom and Ari get into Ari’s background in MMA, the delusional confidence it takes to survive comedy, and why being an outsider ended up becoming his biggest advantage. Then things go fully off the rails with stories about foreign chiropractors, Estonian blackface on national TV, Robert Paul Champagne, Alex Jones, Liver King at the Four Seasons, catastrophic injury clips, and one of the most disgusting travel-hookup stories ever told on the show.

It’s a classic YMH mix of comedy, chaos, culture shock, internet lunatics, and deeply questionable sexual honesty.
