Tahir Moore is back from Festival at Sea with a win.

In this episode of Dam Internet, You Scary!, Tahir tells Patrick Cloud how he won a multi-round comedy competition aboard an eight-day cruise, performed for a packed theater, and prepared each set like he was studying game footage. He also explains why observational jokes gave him an advantage, how cruise passengers became new supporters, and why that exposure may be worth more than the prize itself.

Tahir and Patrick also discuss first-time cruise advice, an alleged KFC drive-through confrontation, the best pieces of fried chicken, dog-leash etiquette, a police encounter that took an unexpected turn, Rick Ross’s recent public image, and why established rappers may be underestimating the influence of streamers and podcasters.
