6:30 pm
just a nation unknown he recently released his 3rd netflix special fear dos for india and it's available to stream are as they say in india to ganges right now beer welcome to the show thank the having me. i where were you from in india i just went for my 1st time where's your home i'm from mumbai yeah so it is the greatest city in india did you go to mumbai i went to poor and then i went to a uyghur camp in russia before yes did you see it would you believe it i think they were kind of they were doing a botanical tourism around their driving and i'm thinking oh they're kind of letting us down easy in the tigers must not be out all the time came around it was like a playboy shoot for a tiger it sat there it lay it on it there they were these guys being in dollars i'm going to show up 40 minutes i was unbelievable it was so funny to me beer because after 40 minutes with enough with. the. if you go for
6:31 pm
a fling i hope i see that there's only $1000.00 of you in the world i would have had to know this well the special for india brag on india for me brother it is. 3 good things 3 bad things we do that. going to be the 3rd largest economy in the world soon largest working population under 30 on the planet and produce goods in the world so that's 3 tops. less government right now would be down 1300000000 people this way too many of us and our 1300000000 people you only see like 6 on american t.v. so there's 3 downsides to what i can tell you that i saw the good in the bad in one in one microcosm because i would see simultaneous heartbreak things which shatter me for my 1st visit and then just when i would like intellectual eyes that somebody would turn and give me an almost peed to fix smile and i remember saying wow this is the human condition in one photograph it's sensory overload isn't it yeah the
6:32 pm
last times i thought i don't know if i could do this just in traffic and bam and people coming up and it's this is a heartbreak and then a little kid would look at me and he he seems so i don't know it is the human condition up close and personal yeah friend yeah when you i love the just the nation project because you want to cross to india right to find out what made people just and what you have all found so we have much your findings dr di it's so the show's really simple it's 3 comics go to a place that has never seen stand up before you know 72 hours to set up a show find a venue mark at the show but also write jokes about what you're doing. and so it's just a high octane ingestion of culture and then throwing that up into the jokes that on really very good you know so it's really like an open mike night for new jokes but on a on
6:33 pm
a big streaming platform but other that isn't. byard idea is that you were one of your other produced and it was fun. writing a camel in the desert doing the day and then writing jokes about that at 4 pm so that they can go up at 8 pm it's like a travelogue meets the improv. so what did you find out about people by and large are people as easily offended as i sometimes assume they are in india it seems where they have some serious travails facing them are they more amenable to a joke here and i mean i think this is reasonably an unpopular point of view but i think getting offended is the privilege of the privileged. in india we just got privilege like last week so there's no new ones who are in it you know i know but i do that out of inability of any that's such a perceptive take that you know that's a thoughtful manner you guys have a new onces to your privilege and you'll sense because you've had privilege for white us right now we kind of have blanket offense a blanket nondefense because we just kind of becoming the country you know and
6:34 pm
coming into our own is a privilege country so we're either offended it everything just to be safe because we don't want to look on clinton's or would just offended and you know i've always thought here once when you're when you're in sub-saharan africa and you're sharing a mud hole with a will be stalking us you don't have time to whine about you know you've got real life in your face again. setting you up that no it's like i'm going to find water to get some food i'm going to figure this out so i love that take on it here and now i know more now i know more about you as a comedian because that's such a smart take and brother i love the fact that you're in on 3 specials with netflix because that is the sweet spot right now this is your 3rd it's my food now that puts fannies in the seats right stuff to do because i'm young and i didn't want to go out with just 10 more personal stories because not enough it happened in my late . mother. only autobiography it's right it's.
6:35 pm
probably you've got to live a little here without. you know it's there so the show's called for india because it's actually the feel of the show because i was like ok i'm going to put my culture out. i'm going to do this this format where i'm like i'm going to tell you 4 things about my country 3 for you one just for me so here are 4 movies that you need to watch or for items you need to eat or for dark days in our history for great days for indian monuments so you can take indian culture out to the world right this universal idea of india and then i failed hard like 2 weeks into writing that you know because there's 1300000000 different versions of india and i'd never find one and so that kind of became the show where i'm like hey this is no one india but hopefully i can kind of mix this up enough where you'll find something in this show nice plan b. if. you like unified be with the one the basic ones now or like how you quantify things when you said 3 good 3 bad we have do have
6:36 pm
a mathematician back there something you know i like how you go to subsets it's going to. i kind of took over club and decided talking to people you know those shows where you do like 40 minutes of material but you'll hang around for like half an hour and just going to hear what they want and so it was just kind of crowd sourcing material saying hey what's your movie or like you know if a guy's coming over from another country or india what's the 1st thing you're feeding him you know and that kind of became the show and then the weirdest thing is you know it took 8 months to put the show together and the country changed drastically really you don't and in those interesting you know we've got a new government the past a couple of really stringent laws they shut down the internet in 6 cities the imposed like emergency rule in like 10 cities and so then you're kind of saying i need to put some of this into this show but i started out writing jokes about
6:37 pm
frivolous movies yes and that. all of this needs to happen and so that kind of became the struggle of the show saying can i can i weaponize nostalgie a little bit so that we can also talk about this culture that when it's not there you so well spoken i'm wondering who did you go to college in india urge you go over here where i waited ready to go should i went to the mecca of civilization as we know it galesburg illinois you know what is the underground railroad from mumbai galesburg illinois it's a tiny liberal arts college knox college that is known for giving i do lots of financially yes so india knows about this place even if america doesn't because they give you like 95 percent. it just changed my life and gave me a l. asylum a tassel. but came to study economics wound up with drama student. what were you near chicago going to say about me i was out like beyond peoria and it's just a cornfield maytag factory college right like you know and good people welcome to
6:38 pm
america yeah really good people in the heartland plus did you ever get into the big city and go to stuff a movie theater troupe thing like yeah i did steppenwolf 'd try to get an internship to fail and i was a busboy at the grand lux cafe on michigan azure. and just getting up open mikes whenever i could best food in the world chicago linea grant achatz my favorite restaurant and i just was talking i did a gig over the weekend with gary sinise who found a nice step off who is a captain dave. looked at him and i said to him who had showed up at the beginning gary when you guys are getting out figure out he said well you know malcolm bitch i was just good at it what a groovy cd when you're starting a theater company and you can which your name john. wow so bollywood's biggest stars of economic con and he just bought the rights to forrest gump and he's been trying to get this movie for 20 straight since it came out and so he's finally making like the bollywood boson of fathers and literally myself an evp. the actor
6:39 pm
called up and we're like who's playing lieutenant dan character and i want to get in there and it's a woman. what would you start doing comedy in mumbai is or close to me tell me about that or did you not even think about it till you got here i didn't think about it till i got here like final you of drama school. so it was yeah but i was there many aspirations when you're young when you're younger and i was just a fan so i was like a. movie i was watching that stuff i grew up in africa in nigeria so that's who you found on television. and so i was just watching the specials and other like a woman benetton. playing in one of. the un security council you don't with a lot less money so finally the drama school that i wrote like 60 minutes to stand up was a show called brown men can't hump just because there's a movie like program. that did me like that was it i would go.
6:40 pm
that route maybe that's the next special. i like the trappings you think oh interesting i can tell your funny cap and i like that the tinsel you hang off the tree is that a good idea for foreman. so who are some other people who influenced you said eddie who. he is from the u.k. i'm a big fan because he kind of makes it look like he just made it all up and i like that in a comic. dignity leaning. right. i think suppose the best he's ever been just. going to talk about owning it right now i love that there are some cats just stepping up bill burr you know dave and just saying i can't play this anymore you guys do what you have to i'm going to speak my mind like it or don't like i think i come from this is the one area where being in india you get to come from
6:41 pm
a better place than you get to come from and i explain that in that if you're offended a joke in india i get to say so. so what you know offense is never given it's taken i didn't come here to give offense you took offense but i'm offended by potholes in the road and pollution and that so much of my country is under the poverty line and there's danger towards women and there's no internet intensities boohoo about you joke you know and you kind of get to do that where i come down and you've got the rhino skin you know the natural you know hard times over them i saw some cats chiseling marble statues and they didn't have the breath later on and all that and i just drove by that i thought you know that we have turned into such a whiny spineless culture in a way over here and it does come from the fact that we've got it made and watch that catches on and i think brother you breathe in that in all day that's going to i got to see this on the flip side like i thought it kind of don't know me this morning and whenever i come here i kind of figured out why america is the most
6:42 pm
successful country on the planet and it's not because you guys are skilled more than anybody else who equally skilled everybody else and you're equally educated you guys just wake up in the morning very unhappy and the only thing you have on the rest of the world is 3 more was put be because everybody who weeks up really all his emotions that it probably is a not your lawyer joe you know there is a lynch joke for the next special it's over i mean 1st meeting today was at 7 30 in the morning and that means i have to get up at 6 nobody need to get some avoid am we got to work by 930 and 10 and we go we will be late so you guys are just waking up earlier than the rest of us that's a miracle after the break very turn stance or some rapid fire questions get a little glimpse into. through our rorschach test stay right there.

obama yeah because great book and great ability to take so can stand she didn't sign up and make the meeting i've seen her speak about her father it always brings me to tears where her father worked 2 jobs and yet she talks about being a young girl who meets someone around 6 o'clock for a lapse for an hour before he goes out the door again and i always find the most charming story that she gets you get so she gets simultaneously misty and that big beautiful smile and you know if you like that she's more qualified than the president of the united states. you know that's a tough gig but writing about it i judge people after they get in because before they get in i often think i don't know how they do yeah imagine that that you talk about getting up early rather i think that you're on the clock there all day you know any time they kick your door in and for inside pakistan. you know you get a lot on your head something we should all be paying more attention to. a life without social media yeah
6:47 pm
a detox from social media and finding ways to be kind outside of social media i think social media has become the new medium for kindness and unkind and both of them to most more and kind them it's the anonymity that you see people with tend to windshields pick their nose on the freeway yeah i always think they don't think the world can see that and you take that to the nth degree and you have social media people say things that i swear to god i'm out in the world like anybody is people aren't that mean to your face occasionally you'll meet another something about but men they get they get alone behind an alias you think. you have good words that mean side of us screwing would use more hogshead and shakes my o's you know kind would there you go guilty pleasure. mel brooks movies young frankenstein any time of day and any good deeds accept stranded on a desert island what 3 things do you want to bring with him mr of your dive boat.

6:49 pm
that because my son looks at me and say well you know let's watch hamlet or something and i'll say you know so i can't follow it and also you kidding me because i'm not a i just have some baffle chamber in my head but i am so busy catching up all the time that it doesn't flow from me like i said i don't denigrate it obviously it's trading in the theater ever and we lose the argument that he wrote every single movie before it happened like every single movie is some form of. a bollywood just by the way and be shakespeare and it's all there you go that's a luxury you cannot live without. an attic strap ok i'm going to trip for 2 years now and i don't recommend this to anybody but me and my wife are doing this where we don't spend on possessions anymore but food music travel books and experiences so spend any amount on those but we're not buying like
6:50 pm
a louis vuitton bag that we go so will fly well. you know that's what i'm doing you know i just came back from a trip and i got to the end and it was in sri lanka and then i connected in the what's the dubai and i got on treated myself as i'm so exhausted it was a month through i got on emirates. full of i don't even know i've had the same car for years but i'm telling you what i'm beat and you can get out of playing and feel like you're in your own little room if you ever try to have their own shower and leave until you can salvage your shower i have sat in that shower. i've run out of water with soap all over me time limited right 10 minutes and then i've cleaned the entire shallow 'd which is a strange grounding experience for your 1st time ever that somebody bought you a ticket you're the height of all of us and yet you're cleaning up after yourself so my point is if you're going to see it like i saw the book of mormon. and
6:51 pm
good seats and sometimes when you take a vacation you won't buy good c.s. because you're busy buying the jeans of the the sneakers or the but good i like that approach mister someone from history. that you would like to take to lunch oh good lord. i'm like a world war 2 buff. so this is probably hung but a nazi you know just to kind of the next generation of people have said you don't want us to understand how you can be misled that much else you know and lastly my friend your idea of a perfect day my idea of a perfect day is. a personal interaction. with someone that is meaningful and that you remember tenuously to. in some part of the day soundtrack by laughter is a good thing before we get into our social media questions i have to ask you since
