    This week on You Be Trippin’, Ari Shaffir talks with Giulio Gallarotti about his surprisingly unforgettable trip to Iraq. From convincing his girlfriend Iraq is chill to flying there alone, Giulio dives into funny run-ins with Iraqi soldiers, mystery taxi drivers, checkpoint pranks, and the shock of how welcoming—and happy—the people are. He explores ancient Ur, visits the stunning Al Abbas Holy Shrine, camps in the wetlands with water buffalo, and even takes a questionable souvenir from Saddam’s palace. It’s a story about culture, chaos, unbelievable food, and why Iraq might just be for everyone.
