What do you think of all the old Baltic German Manor Houses that Estonia has in abundance? Do you feel they should be maintained? (My family used to own Aya, which was a school house for a long time, and Ropkoy in Tartu, which is now a denture factory, among others.)
I feel comedy is dying in Europe because of this need to keep everyone safe and kind. This is not the same in the US. Why do think the Americans are not so keen on the "be kind and keep everyone safe" culture? Do you think it is good that America has not adopted such a culture?
Firstly, thank you Ari for blessing our household with so much laughter! Your KT sets have been a joy to us.
What is your opinion on Australian culture, after living here and doing the comedy scene? Do you have any extreme likes or dislikes about Australia that you can share?
Are there jokes you feel comfortable telling in the U.S. that you would be scared to tell in Europe? If so, do you ever hold back out of fear that you could be prosecuted? And if so, which countries concern you the most?
Hi Ari, was Benny Hill an inspiration either directly or indirectly for you to think "i can do better than that!" - i hear he was one of the biggest comedy exports to eastern europe over the 70's and 80's as a lot of his comedy was physical so it translated well?

What would you say is the biggest difference between Eastern European women and Western women and what could they learn from each other?

Is the average Estonian really pro EU and NATO, or are they more sympathetic to Russian influences.

Did you really tattoo "Russian warship, go fuck yourself" on your leg or was it something temporary? https://www.instagram.com/p/Caf0vIRrisM/
What do you think about the whole Ukraine situation now, being friends with Joe Rogan and others who might be less supportive of Ukraine than you?
