In today's episode, we talk about why Brazilians are so funny and why happy cultures can sometimes ignore real problems and what happens when a comedian stops trying to be viral and starts really being honest.

Rafi is just a brilliant guy.

He's one of my favorite stand-up comedians.

I get to watch him every single week at the Comedy Cellar.

And on top of that, he's just a truly amazing person.

So I hope you guys enjoy this episode half as much as I enjoyed half.

So without further ado, sit back, relax, and welcome to Canada.

Rafinha, how are you, brother?

Of course, thank you for joining me.

I'm very excited.

It is not always that I get a comedian superstar like yourself in the room.

Superstar, wow.

It doesn't matter.

They're not going to book me.

Maybe they're listening.

Maybe they're listening.

Not only are you a superstar in America, but in Brazil.

One of the biggest comics in the whole country.

You even said to me that your American Instagram has now, just now, gotten on par with your Brazilian profile.

And it's interesting anytime someone has a massive audience in a very specific sub region of the world, right?
