IT'S A F**KING STICK Episode 1: It's a Fucking Stick

This is a podcast in which two comedians, Ariel Elias and Dave Maher, talk about the television program "Survivor." It is not a recap podcast. Each episode, we chose a single moment from the show's 40+ seasons and connected it to comedy, creativity, our personal lives, our relationship to each other, and so many other things. It's a hangout show with "Survivor" as the starting point.We only recorded five episodes of It's a Fucking Stick, which means now it's a miniseries dedicated to promoting Dave's new one-man show, Here to Make Friends, which both contains a lot of "Survivor" material and requires no previous knowledge of "Survivor" to enjoy. In Episode 1, we talk about the podcast's titular moment, from Season 16, Episode 9, "I'm in Such a Hot Pickle!"Get tickets to Here to Make Friends at the Neo-Futurist Theater in Chicago from 9/28/23-10/1/23!Follow Ariel @ariel_comedy on Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok.Follow Dave @thisisdavemaher on Twitter and Instagram.IAFS' music is made by Mike Malarkey, who you can follow on IG @malarkeymike or listen to on Spotify.
