[SPEAKER_00]: Hello and welcome back to the road with all these with thorn.
00:05.234 --> 00:08.316
[SPEAKER_00]: What has happened in hitchhikers until a catch is on?
00:08.716 --> 00:10.357
[SPEAKER_00]: I will be sticking with hitchhikers.
00:10.557 --> 00:12.038
[SPEAKER_00]: I think you guys were tuning back in.
00:12.058 --> 00:15.100
[SPEAKER_00]: I had a decent week.
00:15.420 --> 00:20.483
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to my highlights as I helped my neighbor house a cat, okay?
00:20.503 --> 00:22.844
[SPEAKER_00]: I have a neighbor who lives on a fourth floor.
00:23.265 --> 00:25.646
[SPEAKER_00]: He's the only other Yemeni guy in the building.
00:25.666 --> 00:26.727
[SPEAKER_00]: And the first time I met him,
00:27.867 --> 00:33.371
[SPEAKER_00]: I told him that I do comedy, maybe the second time I met him and he said, Oh, that's really interesting.
00:33.451 --> 00:41.917
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a photographer and I want a restaurant and as we're exchanging IG, he realized that his roommate follows me.
00:42.057 --> 00:46.040
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like my roommate and three other three of my other friends follow you already.
00:46.960 --> 01:10.367
[SPEAKER_00]: and which is nice it's nice one you know you say your stand-up comedian and the universe backs you up because sometimes sometimes people get skeptical sometimes people get excited they're like oh that's so cool and and I would say there's a twenty percent a chance when a person is like really your stand-up comedian are you like where do you do that at do you know they get a little funny because deep inside they had a dream
01:11.087 --> 01:15.953
[SPEAKER_00]: that they never got to chase or fulfill, or they quit, you know, so they project on to you.
01:16.774 --> 01:17.274
[SPEAKER_00]: That's my thing.
01:17.294 --> 01:20.058
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I do is like, if somebody bothers me, I just deconstruct them.
01:20.398 --> 01:28.087
[SPEAKER_00]: So I get a text message from Alas, roommate who also works at the same restaurant, they own a restaurant called Yemenat.
01:28.427 --> 01:30.530
[SPEAKER_00]: And the Yemenat is literally my favorite.
01:30.930 --> 01:35.953
[SPEAKER_00]: Yemeni restaurants in the country I'd also say it's my favorite restaurant all together.
01:36.033 --> 01:45.377
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like a sign of a good authentic meal as a meal that takes you back to that space to the place in which this food originates from.
01:45.938 --> 01:49.139
[SPEAKER_00]: The first time I tried Yemen at I thought I was in Yemen.
01:49.279 --> 01:54.222
[SPEAKER_00]: I felt like I was back home eating a warm meal and ever since it became my favorite.
01:55.033 --> 02:01.801
[SPEAKER_00]: Rust run and it does help that this guy is also incredibly sweet and kind and his roommates are awesome as well.
02:02.202 --> 02:05.766
[SPEAKER_00]: So his roommate gives me text and she says, Hey, sorry to bother you at night.
02:05.846 --> 02:10.612
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a cat that followed that and we are trying to figure out what to do.
02:10.752 --> 02:11.313
[SPEAKER_00]: So I know.
02:12.093 --> 02:13.515
[SPEAKER_00]: I come in and check out the cat.
02:13.675 --> 02:15.156
[SPEAKER_00]: I, you know, quickly find that.
02:15.556 --> 02:18.078
[SPEAKER_00]: Though it's really friendly, it's a stray cat.
02:18.459 --> 02:20.540
[SPEAKER_00]: It's still had its balls intact.
02:20.700 --> 02:26.965
[SPEAKER_00]: Like when I try to give it dry food, it didn't know how did I quite eat it off a plate, so I can tell.
02:27.686 --> 02:32.948
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not used to eating a regular pet food, but it was literally the sweetest fucking cat.
02:33.208 --> 02:38.510
[SPEAKER_00]: The cat was so chill and like a bait command, you say come here and they'll come right to you.
02:38.890 --> 02:42.592
[SPEAKER_00]: We put a leash on it and he didn't mind the leash.
02:42.872 --> 02:45.673
[SPEAKER_00]: We put him on a terrace for the night at Alas place.
02:46.333 --> 03:07.550
[SPEAKER_00]: And he was chill just chilling really that one of the cool you so cool we call them al mahtaram which means the respectful So his work and nickname our name was gonna be mr. Respectful So anyways mr. Respectful dope ask at I don't want him to be in the streets I had up Jennifer is a lady with feet scats and she told me that she didn't recognize him We have a colony here.
03:07.570 --> 03:09.272
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want him to get abused and
03:09.952 --> 03:19.657
[SPEAKER_00]: is too sweet for, you know, you know, you know, you know, sometimes be those people that are a piece of shit that would kick a cat or, you know, be harm a cat who's too friendly.
03:19.977 --> 03:28.642
[SPEAKER_00]: So I was like, we really get to find a place and luckily, you know, we put our best efforts and, and this speaks to, speaks to making connections really matter, okay?
03:28.762 --> 03:30.322
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I learned from this experience.
03:30.623 --> 03:38.887
[SPEAKER_00]: I found a home for this cat within less than twenty four hours and I would have not done it if I have not introduced myself to highlight at one point.
03:39.728 --> 03:54.903
[SPEAKER_00]: And if I haven't gotten this number, if I haven't made a connection with this roommate, if I haven't made a connection with Jennifer who feeds cats because what happens is Jennifer, A told me that he's not one of the cats that she feeds and then B, she saw people looking for the cat.
03:54.963 --> 03:59.647
[SPEAKER_00]: She saw people trying to strap a cat and she texted me and connected me with this person.
04:00.608 --> 04:12.804
[SPEAKER_00]: I give him a call and she said, hey, we have a couple lists all the cat last night and he was so friendly and he said hi to everybody and they decided that they were going to take him home, but they wanted to prepare first.
04:13.284 --> 04:14.065
[SPEAKER_00]: So I was like, perfect.
04:14.225 --> 04:14.766
[SPEAKER_00]: I

got the cat.
04:14.786 --> 04:15.807
[SPEAKER_00]: He's my neighbor's place.
04:16.468 --> 04:18.769
[SPEAKER_00]: I brought them up and they took the cat's man.
04:18.829 --> 04:20.189
[SPEAKER_00]: We saved the cat's life.
04:20.409 --> 04:21.570
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope he's well.
04:22.010 --> 04:29.292
[SPEAKER_00]: I have the number of the people that have the cats and once in a while I'll text them and they sent me a picture which is nice of them.
04:29.633 --> 04:33.594
[SPEAKER_00]: So that was a whole, that was a highlight of the week as I helped Mr. Respectful.
04:34.434 --> 04:42.297
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, speaks to just making an effort, you know, I at one point the way I met Jennifer, I saw her feed the cats and I said, hey, you're an angel.
04:42.917 --> 04:46.641
[SPEAKER_00]: That is so sweet that you take care of these guys outside.
04:46.942 --> 04:58.875
[SPEAKER_00]: You're so kind and I compliment her complimented her and then I asked her if she had a catch up or when most I can donate tours these cats so she sent me a catch up and I sent her a hundred bucks and she was like
04:59.602 --> 05:03.587
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, really sweet from then on and having her number from that interaction.
05:04.447 --> 05:10.574
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, you really, you really get to put yourself out there, make connections with people that are awesome.
05:11.355 --> 05:17.042
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, it took me, Jennifer, I'll add to how's this get.
05:17.983 --> 05:20.264
[SPEAKER_00]: and I am happy with the cats.
05:20.905 --> 05:22.386
[SPEAKER_00]: That is the one of the highlights.
05:22.626 --> 05:25.389
[SPEAKER_00]: So from that, I am really excited for Norway.
05:25.409 --> 05:30.513
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if I told you guys this, but your boy is going to Norway, okay?
05:30.553 --> 05:39.401
[SPEAKER_00]: Jonas is bringing me to Norway and I have a show set up set up in Bergen on the twenty-eighth and twenty-nineth.
05:39.941 --> 05:44.465
[SPEAKER_00]: By any goddamn chance somebody from Norway is listening to this come to the show, say hi.
05:44.705 --> 05:45.306
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's get some food.
05:45.946 --> 05:57.356
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I'm doing Oslo on the thirty fifth and thirty first, but he called me today saying that hey, there's in this other town that's like magical and he sent me a picture of it and it looks like a dream.
05:57.416 --> 06:02.901
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like mountainous and has this giant lake possibly and I don't know how to say it.
06:03.222 --> 06:05.624
[SPEAKER_00]: I apologize, but I can spell it to you the first four
06:06.124 --> 06:22.124
[SPEAKER_00]: Letters are S. O. J. N. The second one is O. J. The last one is F. J. O. R. D. A. And if you Google that, you'll see just kind of like a mountainous thing in this water.
06:23.045 --> 06:38.280
[SPEAKER_00]: and it looks really magnificent and there's a festival and he said, hey, you have the option to A come to Oslo on Saturday from Bergen and do the show in town or come with me to this awesome festival, you'll do some time and I'm like, do I don't even need to do comedy?
06:38.440 --> 06:43.285
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd love to be in this part of the world and to also hang out with him as well.
06:43.585 --> 06:46.487
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm incredibly, incredibly excited for Norway.
06:46.908 --> 06:48.809
[SPEAKER_00]: I like doing comedy international.
06:48.929 --> 06:54.594
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a little more challenging because you can't be too specific with your references, obviously.
06:55.274 --> 06:58.137
[SPEAKER_00]: Comedy is all about language and culture, right?
06:58.217 --> 07:05.543
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, even in America, you know, South to North, East to West, Democratic to Republican, conservative to
07:06.383 --> 07:18.327
[SPEAKER_00]: Progressives, every section, every place has its language and things that they poke fun of and things that they avoid talking about, et cetera.
07:18.867 --> 07:31.231
[SPEAKER_00]: So the challenge with international comedy or going overseas is you're going to figure out what's the tone here, what's the type of comedy they like here, you're going to figure out things that are so universal that
07:31.671 --> 07:36.898
[SPEAKER_00]: somebody from Norway can laugh at as well as a New York, etc.
07:37.078 --> 07:48.953
[SPEAKER_00]: So I've done comedy in Turkey, I've done comedy in UK, and then comedy in Dubai, and it took me a minute to figure out what are some of my material that can work anywhere.
07:49.493 --> 08:11.640
[SPEAKER_00]: So I I feel a little more confident, but I don't know some Europeans are weird, bro some Europeans don't laugh at all I've heard of people go to Europe and do a whole show and they think they're bombing the whole time and then the audience comes up to a gizmestan innovation and then comes up to them after the show and be like that was the most incredible performance I've ever seen and I was so delightful I'm like then fucking laugh guys
08:12.600 --> 08:13.801
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I'm excited about.
08:13.861 --> 08:15.282
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm excited for Gunther.
08:15.843 --> 08:18.965
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what the name the Mr. Respectful that he has a home.
08:19.185 --> 08:20.706
[SPEAKER_00]: I am excited to be in Norway.
08:21.127 --> 08:23.168
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm excited to be in DC this Friday.
08:23.208 --> 08:26.371
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're happy to be in DC, please come through two shows.
08:26.751 --> 08:28.552
[SPEAKER_00]: Also, very open and hang out.
08:28.652 --> 08:30.254
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're trying to get lunch, dinner, etc.
08:31.014 --> 08:31.835
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm downhanging.
08:32.035 --> 08:33.516
[SPEAKER_00]: Also, we'll be in Toronto.
08:33.576 --> 08:35.338
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a very international month for your boy.
08:35.718 --> 08:43.785
[SPEAKER_00]: Toronto this week can fight LB in DC and then follow on weekend on the twenty second and the twenty third I'm in
Toronto.
08:43.866 --> 08:47.429
[SPEAKER_00]: I do believe I have some listeners in Toronto if you do listen to the pod.
08:48.109 --> 08:49.450
[SPEAKER_00]: Come through bring some friends.
08:49.470 --> 08:57.513
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't really have a huge fan base there, so it would mean a lot if you came out plus I'm fucking hilarious guys Some people are like, oh, you're funny on a podcast.
08:57.533 --> 08:58.073
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like dude.
08:58.153 --> 09:09.518
[SPEAKER_00]: This isn't I'm not even trying to be funny on this podcast to be honest with you But if you ever see me on stage as you know, I don't want to get cocky here, but your boy knows that it'd be on stage So come to my shows.
09:09.778 --> 09:11.579
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a blast and it's a lot of laughs
09:12.359 --> 09:13.800
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of good, good, good fun.
09:13.860 --> 09:14.380
[SPEAKER_00]: Good hang.
09:15.320 --> 09:19.722
[SPEAKER_00]: If I'm usually curating the show, I bring my own openers, and they're always really funny.
09:20.083 --> 09:26.005
[SPEAKER_00]: For Toronto and Norway, I'm not bringing my openers, but I'm sure I'm gonna be amongst amazing comedians.
09:26.426 --> 09:28.567
[SPEAKER_00]: So, yeah, I'm excited to leave the country.
09:29.687 --> 09:31.348
[SPEAKER_00]: The other thing is about leaving the country.
09:31.408 --> 09:36.510
[SPEAKER_00]: I was just gonna, while I'm out there, I'm just gonna see what the immigration process looks like.
09:36.751 --> 09:39.112
[SPEAKER_00]: Because, you know, things again kind of weird here.
09:39.212 --> 09:40.592
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think it's like a bad yet.
09:42.193 --> 09:44.975
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the slowdown has been the Epstein thing.
09:45.415 --> 09:50.078
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Trump was on, oh, maybe because I'm off the IGN shit.
09:50.098 --> 09:59.625
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not on social media as much, so it doesn't feel like it's ramping up because I'm not really waking up and watching the news and then I'm just kind of like off social media now.
09:59.725 --> 10:03.327
[SPEAKER_00]: So I feel a lot more peaceful, but I'm pretty sure it's still weird.
10:03.367 --> 10:09.632
[SPEAKER_00]: But to me, if I have a theory is that it seems like he was on a row, he's doing a lot of damage, and then
10:10.312 --> 10:18.834
[SPEAKER_00]: with the Epstein thing he lost a lot of his fan base or the people that were supporting him or turning on him so he lost some momentum there, which is great.
10:19.094 --> 10:27.556
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah man, all in all, I want him in Norway and in Canada, I'm going to see if your boy can get a green kind of do they have green cards in Norway?
10:28.117 --> 10:29.297
[SPEAKER_00]: A blue card perhaps?
10:29.897 --> 10:33.158
[SPEAKER_00]: Whatever it is, I'm going to need some of that free health insurance.
10:33.938 --> 10:39.341
[SPEAKER_00]: and a possible second home, because if I get deported out of this fucking bitch, I'm not going back to Yemen, dude.
10:39.441 --> 10:41.021
[SPEAKER_00]: That would be the biggest tragedy.
10:41.081 --> 10:43.042
[SPEAKER_00]: If I go back to Yemen, it's not gonna be a good time.
10:43.703 --> 10:45.463
[SPEAKER_00]: So I need a second home, okay?
10:45.483 --> 10:51.426
[SPEAKER_00]: I need a second citizenship just in case in a place that has a decent standard of living.
10:51.866 --> 10:53.407
[SPEAKER_00]: And preferably has free healthcare.
10:53.787 --> 10:54.728
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that too much to ask for?
10:55.108 --> 10:58.471
[SPEAKER_00]: Anywho, I would love to do something a little different today.
10:58.951 --> 11:00.733
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to catch up with a friend of mine.
11:01.053 --> 11:02.054
[SPEAKER_00]: His name is Ahmad Khalif.
11:02.454 --> 11:03.836
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just when he started comedy.
11:03.896 --> 11:07.999
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that was around two, fifteen, two, sixteen, two thousand, fifteen at least.
11:08.499 --> 11:12.523
[SPEAKER_00]: And he is truly one of the funniest human beings I've ever met.
11:12.883 --> 11:13.283
[SPEAKER_00]: period.
11:13.563 --> 11:21.048
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, and there's a lot of comedians and maybe I should talk about that with him because he's always he's not only funny.
11:21.088 --> 11:25.650
[SPEAKER_00]: He's interesting to talk to and he's a lot smarter than people giving credit.
11:26.231 --> 11:36.237
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, if you're like he because, you know, he's just like, you know, this weed guy and sometimes people just don't realize how how well red and how smart he is.
11:37.217 --> 11:40.718
[SPEAKER_00]: and he's just like a fun guy to talk to and he makes me laugh so much man.
11:40.818 --> 11:48.280
[SPEAKER_00]: I've had to beg him one time to stop doing whatever he was doing that was making me laugh because I was literally dying.
11:48.320 --> 11:49.060
[SPEAKER_00]: I was at a breath.
11:49.120 --> 11:53.101
[SPEAKER_00]: I couldn't stop my stomach was hurting and I was like, please, I'm in.
11:53.481 --> 11:55.101
[SPEAKER_00]: Stop being funny.
11:55.722 --> 11:57.662
[SPEAKER_00]: Which, you know, most people can't even make me laugh.
11:57.762 --> 12:00.243
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's how special this kid is.
12:00.663 --> 12:01.663
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's my younger brother.
12:01.683 --> 12:02.663
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how I feel about him.
12:02.943 --> 12:03.764
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a Mr. Ahmed.
12:03.784 --> 12:04.504
[SPEAKER_00]: How you doing, Ross?
12:04.844 --> 12:05.404
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm doing good.
12:05.704 --> 12:08.625
[SPEAKER_00]: As I was just giving you an introduction on my pod.
12:09.825 --> 12:11.005
[SPEAKER_00]: I was going to save it.
12:11.065 --> 12:15.126
[SPEAKER_00]: Hello, this is Ahmed Halev at Ahmed and Halev on IG.
12:15.506 --> 12:17.147
[SPEAKER_00]: Good dude, funny hilarious guy.
12:17.207 --> 12:21.588
[SPEAKER_00]: But I was just talking about, I was saying that you're one of the funniest people I know.
12:21.928
--> 12:27.589
[SPEAKER_00]: But then I had one thing that I want to get into right away if we're going to talk shop.
12:29.190 --> 12:31.470
[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of disappointing in comedy.
12:31.830 --> 12:34.791
[SPEAKER_00]: How many comedians aren't funny on the off stage?
12:35.591 --> 12:47.894
[SPEAKER_00]: There's so many comics who are pretty decent on sage, they figure out the rhythm, they figure out the writing, but then offstage, some of the worst hangs, not a can of an crack a smile.
12:48.374 --> 12:50.494
[SPEAKER_00]: What the fuck is that about, dude?
12:50.854 --> 12:56.556
[SPEAKER_00]: Please explain to me why are these, and I can name some names, but I won't, because I don't want to draw them.
12:57.846 --> 13:01.508
[SPEAKER_01]: You will walk in all start drunk with names left and right.
13:01.748 --> 13:03.689
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's just naturally.
13:03.709 --> 13:08.871
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what it is about people who are inclined to be or funny, right?
13:08.931 --> 13:11.192
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's a attention seeking kind of thing.
13:11.212 --> 13:12.093
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
13:12.473 --> 13:12.793
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
13:13.113 --> 13:21.517
[SPEAKER_01]: And if you're seeking attention, there's a lot of people come into poverty with like, you know, sort of, what do you, what do you, like, even cure intentions?
13:21.697 --> 13:22.958
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure it doesn't take place.
13:25.555 --> 13:32.062
[SPEAKER_00]: We know we know guys who are just in it to get laid and we know guys who are in it for some sort of power thing.
13:32.522 --> 13:33.303
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
13:33.603 --> 13:39.749
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd almost say there's like fifteen percent of people start to actually care about the craft and our fans of it.
13:40.550 --> 13:40.770
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
13:41.071 --> 13:41.291
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
13:41.872 --> 13:46.116
[SPEAKER_01]: So when you get those guys, right, they're already a bummer anyway.
13:46.596 --> 13:46.897
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
13:49.203 --> 13:54.547
[SPEAKER_01]: That doesn't mean if they're not good at their job, right?
13:54.587 --> 13:57.750
[SPEAKER_01]: You ever have like a dumb ass doctor or something?
13:58.030 --> 13:58.630
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh-huh.
13:59.030 --> 13:59.451
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
13:59.471 --> 14:01.772
[SPEAKER_01]: You ever add a bar and guys like I'm gonna go
14:03.189 --> 14:06.930
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm an engineer in his business business.
14:06.950 --> 14:07.570
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's fair.
14:07.590 --> 14:21.493
[SPEAKER_00]: Some people are just bad at the, but the thing is like, okay, the weird, the thing that kind of strikes me weird is, I mean, whether your intentions are impure or not, we're in a business of laughter and humor.
14:21.753 --> 14:26.194
[SPEAKER_00]: I just find it so odd how many people, how many people lack.
14:26.754 --> 14:30.535
[SPEAKER_00]: I just, I know comics who were so dedicated and
14:31.215 --> 14:56.854
[SPEAKER_00]: worked so hard and they got funny on stage and I was just hanging out with them and I just kind of find myself thinking why don't you laugh like why don't you look like why aren't you cracking jokes why aren't you even because me and you were not like the type of comics were on all the time we we can we can just chill when we need to chill yeah but you mean you together that I was just mentioning how about about that one time that I had to like beg you to stop doing whatever impression you were doing I think it was
14:58.346 --> 15:08.444
[SPEAKER_01]: They at the hotel, both of us were starting to die but it like you wouldn't I think you were like I mean you were grippy you were trying to find purchase.
15:08.484 --> 15:09.526
[SPEAKER_01]: There was no you couldn't
15:10.715 --> 15:11.635
[SPEAKER_00]: I was falling.
15:11.715 --> 15:13.376
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how much I've left.
15:13.716 --> 15:13.976
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
15:14.856 --> 15:19.657
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's like, there's two people that make we laugh really like hot like loud or hard.
15:19.797 --> 15:22.498
[SPEAKER_00]: It's you for you like you got me figured out.
15:22.518 --> 15:24.818
[SPEAKER_00]: You know how to make me laugh.
15:25.298 --> 15:28.879
[SPEAKER_00]: And then this is my friend Nile when me and now together we laugh quite a bit.
15:33.068 --> 15:34.729
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he's not even a comment.
15:34.949 --> 15:35.870
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not even a comment.
15:35.910 --> 15:39.112
[SPEAKER_01]: He's just funny and look like you if somebody died.
15:40.233 --> 15:42.554
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought, no, I would fucking die.
15:42.695 --> 15:43.695
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he's just got that.
15:43.715 --> 15:45.797
[SPEAKER_00]: He cares himself with the humor.
15:45.817 --> 15:49.479
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's got good sharp angles man.
15:49.499 --> 15:52.281
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like he's got like some quiz quick on his feet.
15:52.301 --> 15:55.663
[SPEAKER_00]: If you give him the ball, he knows how to dribble it.
15:55.763 --> 15:57.324
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, he's actually a really funny.
15:57.344 --> 15:57.484
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
15:58.145 --> 16:00.026
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, no, he's just fucking hilarious guy.
16:00.466 --> 16:01.547
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's like a father.
16:01.567 --> 16:02.388
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like, yeah.
16:04.548 --> 16:24.277
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, for those who don't know Nail is one of my best friends and I'm gonna spend friends with this guy for a decade is the I don't know if ever I don't know I don't think I can tell the story on his behalf, but Yeah, okay, so that's one you know, but anyways, I was just trying to establish that you're a very funny human being
16:25.388 --> 16:49.105
[SPEAKER_00]: We were talking earlier and we were kind of touching on like worst gigs and I think I don't know if the audience needs to hear mine, but I'll give you guys a quick snippet of my worst gig ever with what it was at this warehouse turned
into a comedy club called House of Comedy at the Mall of America where dreams die and the House of Comedy asked Ahmed how would you describe it?
16:49.166 --> 16:50.927
[SPEAKER_00]: He described it as a Costco.
16:50.987 --> 16:51.968
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a perfect description.
16:53.029 --> 17:08.044
[SPEAKER_00]: same lighting and it feels like you don't have a membership you're just yeah so that place it was really hard especially when you start an out and it's a necessary place every comedy scene needs a hard club like that so the comics can develop the shops and figure out how
17:08.685 --> 17:27.079
[SPEAKER_00]: how to do how to be okay up there when there is no big laughs there's no you're not gonna crush even if you're a crush and you kid it's like because the place can hold maybe close to four hundred people on an average it was drawn like forty people it was rough and they weren't even seen in them strategically when i started comedy which is like random so
17:27.980 --> 17:34.184
[SPEAKER_00]: So you just got to learn how to do comedy without that validation from the crowd, which is a useful skill.
17:34.344 --> 17:38.006
[SPEAKER_00]: But as I was doing that, I was trying to kill and I just couldn't.
17:38.086 --> 17:39.427
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was bombing so hard.
17:39.927 --> 17:45.890
[SPEAKER_00]: And the last, the night before prior, the headliner had to be like, hey man, don't do that to my crowd.
17:46.611 --> 17:50.453
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, they had let her get mad because I got mad at the crowd.
17:50.973 --> 17:53.014
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the next day, I have no confidence.
17:53.034 --> 17:57.417
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel kind of embarrassed by the headliner and my girlfriend at the time goes,
17:57.840 --> 18:10.266
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, dad and Liz are coming so like her dad and her stuff mom are coming to watch the show and they're like minutes away and I'm like, you mother fucker, you how why would you why why I was like, do you hate me?
18:10.346 --> 18:12.147
[SPEAKER_00]: Why would you want the house of comedy?
18:12.347 --> 18:15.269
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean right like what would you do in that situation?
18:15.849 --> 18:16.549
[SPEAKER_01]: What would I do?
18:16.609 --> 18:16.809
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
18:18.522 --> 18:19.902
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, right.
18:20.282 --> 18:22.463
[SPEAKER_01]: I go, okay, babe, no problem.
18:22.783 --> 18:25.524
[SPEAKER_01]: As soon as you get to the door, I go, I'm dumping you.
18:25.804 --> 18:26.564
[SPEAKER_01]: You cheated on me.
18:26.584 --> 18:27.684
[SPEAKER_01]: The front of the fair.
18:27.744 --> 18:29.685
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I asked the club to eighty-six.
18:29.865 --> 18:30.485
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm blocker.
18:30.525 --> 18:32.505
[SPEAKER_01]: I go, you can't even make me call them all security.
18:33.185 --> 18:34.266
[SPEAKER_00]: That's funny.
18:34.286 --> 18:38.687
[SPEAKER_00]: So you basically, you're out as you, you dump her, you're cruiser or something she didn't do.
18:39.187 --> 18:40.127
[SPEAKER_00]: You eighty-six, sir.
18:40.207 --> 18:41.947
[SPEAKER_00]: You fire her from the blaze.
18:42.367 --> 18:44.228
[SPEAKER_01]: Because ultimately, you tried to sell money.
18:44.248 --> 18:45.168
[SPEAKER_01]: You guys break up.
18:46.733 --> 19:09.973
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I've been out to bomb her foot of her parents did I'm so hard I was so embarrassing Let me tell you one of the saddest thing I've ever done in my comedy career I'm so hard and I remember when I first got a good tape like an okay tape that's five minutes long I sent it to her father and I said get in bear no
19:11.924 --> 19:13.605
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like getting better.
19:13.745 --> 19:18.167
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's how that's how much that should bother me.
19:18.367 --> 19:19.447
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll get all good.
19:19.527 --> 19:20.247
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm all right.
19:20.287 --> 19:21.148
[SPEAKER_01]: What what about you?
19:21.168 --> 19:22.828
[SPEAKER_00]: What's the some of that worst shows are long?
19:30.433 --> 19:36.679
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you had you had a quickly you did tell me there's one where you're doing a cop joke.
19:36.840 --> 19:40.123
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the right one the cop who mistook a taser for a gun.
19:40.403 --> 19:42.926
[SPEAKER_01]: My worst bombs came from the George Floyd era.
19:43.206 --> 19:44.487
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, right right.
19:45.328 --> 19:50.310
[SPEAKER_01]: So the cop, this is after George Wood and there's a spotlight on police brutality.
19:50.870 --> 19:56.552
[SPEAKER_01]: And the woman was stately used her pencil instead of this part of the firearm instead of a taser, right?
19:56.672 --> 19:56.852
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
19:57.372 --> 19:59.973
[SPEAKER_01]: And the joke was innocuous as a Pokemon go.
20:00.413 --> 20:04.595
[SPEAKER_01]: And every time, so I was like, she probably just had Pikachu stickers all over again, you know.
20:04.615 --> 20:05.355
[SPEAKER_01]: That's very funny.
20:05.615 --> 20:06.195
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
20:06.515 --> 20:06.695
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
20:06.715 --> 20:08.456
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's not going to tell me to fuck off.
20:08.716 --> 20:08.956
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
20:08.976 --> 20:10.056
[SPEAKER_01]: Go to the joke.
20:10.417 --> 20:12.077
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't be on an asshole like, oh, fuck.
20:12.117 --> 20:13.097
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, don't finish it.
20:13.358 --> 20:14.478
[SPEAKER_01]: Here's another joke.
20:16.119 --> 20:18.561
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you're like you don't have you don't have silent lights right now.
20:18.602 --> 20:22.165
[SPEAKER_01]: You can't tell me what to do You can't pull me over if I'm taking the bus at this
20:30.112 --> 20:33.474
[SPEAKER_01]: And they all get up and leave.
20:34.435 --> 20:37.537
[SPEAKER_01]: And the men and money back to club doesn't give it to them.
20:37.917 --> 20:39.238
[SPEAKER_01]: And there's that,
right?
20:39.719 --> 20:44.262
[SPEAKER_01]: Another one was I was in South Dakota, Bobby Brue.
20:44.582 --> 20:47.724
[SPEAKER_00]: You and our friend, Robert Brue, you're opening for him.
20:47.744 --> 20:49.045
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm opening for him in a casino.

[SPEAKER_00]: You can see those slash hotels slash water bar in South Dakota building with three names.
20:58.183 --> 21:06.226

22:13.295 --> 22:16.238
[SPEAKER_00]: That means that you did not lead a kind life.
22:16.439 --> 22:17.660

[SPEAKER_01]: We have no idea how many tickets are sold, whatever.
22:35.371 --> 22:36.773
[SPEAKER_01]: We're just on the road.
22:36.974 --> 22:44.305
[SPEAKER_00]: And then this, these topic gigs you don't, you know you're not pulling numbers, you know you're not going to sell any tickets personally.
22:44.765 --> 22:49.048
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, Brazil doesn't think I have fans and South Dakota waiting to see me.
22:49.388 --> 22:51.310
[SPEAKER_00]: You just show up and you hook to God.
22:51.470 --> 22:53.531
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, for my experience, you hope that there's an audience.
22:53.571 --> 22:55.393
[SPEAKER_00]: You hope that there's a decent set up.
22:55.433 --> 22:57.214
[SPEAKER_00]: You hope that there's a microphone that works.
22:57.674 --> 23:01.597
[SPEAKER_00]: Some sort of lighting and, you know, it's usually always a gamble.
23:02.017 --> 23:02.297
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
23:02.658 --> 23:06.981
[SPEAKER_01]: So, it's exactly like, and this is this is also the George Boyd era.
23:07.281 --> 23:07.661
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
23:07.681 --> 23:10.683
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I'm about to minimize stomach of cop.
23:11.384 --> 23:11.624
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
23:12.363 --> 23:14.551
[SPEAKER_01]: So we all look to this venue.
23:15.720 --> 23:18.882
[SPEAKER_01]: and we go into the front door at the front door.
23:19.202 --> 23:22.744
[SPEAKER_01]: They're easy police officer and he's having a bad day.
23:23.765 --> 23:26.687
[SPEAKER_01]: I've never seen that kind of body language in former.
23:27.207 --> 23:30.749
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, it's a very sad, like, groupy body language.
23:31.049 --> 23:31.630
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
23:31.650 --> 23:35.012
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, like, in the back of his trunk, like, just looking through it.
23:35.032 --> 23:36.393
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm just like, we don't believe that.
23:36.413 --> 23:40.435
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I'm having a good time just looking at him being like, fuck this guy.
23:40.615 --> 23:42.056
[SPEAKER_00]: But you don't know what the story is.
23:42.116 --> 23:43.357
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't know why he feels that way.
23:43.777 --> 23:50.139
[SPEAKER_01]: We walk in the lady who's like writing the show is like, okay, so slide it up.
23:50.580 --> 23:54.501
[SPEAKER_01]: Slide it up, okay?
23:54.581 --> 23:58.923
[SPEAKER_00]: No way, wait, that's how slide hiccup.
23:59.403 --> 24:00.283
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the slide hiccup.
24:00.323 --> 24:01.303
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the slide hiccup.
24:01.704 --> 24:05.285
[SPEAKER_01]: Right before the gig, a boy drowned in the water park.
24:05.345 --> 24:10.507
[SPEAKER_01]: And the father was like, like, those who won this grief, like, on his knees, like, oh, my God.
24:12.125 --> 24:13.246
[SPEAKER_01]: He hopped and saved them.
24:13.466 --> 24:14.607
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's why he was outside.
24:14.667 --> 24:15.388
[SPEAKER_00]: My god.
24:16.028 --> 24:17.430
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, like, oh, shit.
24:17.590 --> 24:19.171
[SPEAKER_01]: I've just died in the water court.
24:19.592 --> 24:21.673
[SPEAKER_00]: Whoa, and then you guys had to do a show that night.
24:21.934 --> 24:22.994
[SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't call it a show.
24:23.014 --> 24:26.938
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd call it a conversation with like four people in a afternoon.
24:26.978 --> 24:27.558
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, my god.
24:27.598 --> 24:31.342
[SPEAKER_00]: So this is out of tavern and four cycles still showed up to the show.
24:31.722 --> 24:34.064
[SPEAKER_01]: Or maybe nine, but there's gathered.
24:34.725 --> 24:37.147
[SPEAKER_00]: And everybody at this point knows what happened that day.
24:37.908 --> 24:38.408
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
24:38.428 --> 24:39.789
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know yet.
24:40.129 --> 24:46.691
[SPEAKER_01]: I found out because I went up there and I was like, it's something made a sound in the back of the room and I was like, is that a ghost?
24:47.071 --> 24:49.952
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's feeling people were like, oh, God, man.
24:49.992 --> 24:52.413
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no, that's too fucking soon.
24:52.753 --> 24:53.493
[SPEAKER_00]: So wait this.
24:53.773 --> 24:55.134
[SPEAKER_01]: Look, man, I thought I got a fresh.
24:55.154 --> 24:55.854
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't hear a look.
24:56.494 --> 24:56.995
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that a girl?
24:57.015 --> 24:57.715
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a tough one.
24:58.055 --> 25:13.568
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, as someone who knows his comedy is not necessarily like, people think it's me and whatever, but it's just there's tension here and you get to find a tasteful way to like either address or whatever, I would be puzzled.
25:13.849 --> 25:15.130
[SPEAKER_00]: I wouldn't even want to perform.
25:15.330 --> 25:23.457
[SPEAKER_00]: If a child died that day, I don't think I have the mechanism to like make somehow make light of that.
25:24.577 --> 25:32.221
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's, I feel like that's where things, the whole too soon thing, that applies pretty well for that.
25:32.241 --> 25:37.743
[SPEAKER_01]: A hundred percent now, you pounder that, I will ask you, do you want or do you dollar?
25:38.003 --> 25:41.265
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, honestly, you made a trip all the way to South Dakota, you know?
25:41.285 --> 25:42.265
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't pay.
25:42.385 --> 25:43.386
[SPEAKER_01]:
Now, you're the problem.
25:43.726 --> 25:45.507
[SPEAKER_00]: You still got to make that for you.
25:45.607 --> 25:49.128
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's hard to ignore a completely and pretend like nothing happened.
25:49.769 --> 25:52.490
[SPEAKER_01]: So I mean, that would be a, that would be a word.
25:53.530 --> 25:54.211
[SPEAKER_00]: That's even worse.
25:54.451 --> 25:54.992
[SPEAKER_00]: That's even worse.
25:55.012 --> 25:59.095
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's a tricky thing because you have to address it, but if you address it, how do you diffuse the tension from it?
25:59.275 --> 26:06.422
[SPEAKER_00]: And so it has to do some funny about, but then you do funny, it could be easily very distasteful because it just happened.
26:06.482 --> 26:07.903
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a really tough situation.
26:08.143 --> 26:09.464
[SPEAKER_00]: It's obviously one of the worst things.
26:09.745 --> 26:11.586
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, no, it was one of the worst gigs ever.
26:11.686 --> 26:12.967
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah.
26:12.987 --> 26:16.250
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the count was the amount of like, the Molly gigs.
26:16.470 --> 26:20.474
[SPEAKER_00]: And also let's point out the irony that the kid died and then Trump made it.
26:20.774 --> 26:21.635
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah.
26:22.355 --> 26:23.516
[SPEAKER_00]: Healthy as he could be.
26:23.536 --> 26:26.158
[SPEAKER_00]: There's guys on his second term.
26:26.398 --> 26:28.019
[SPEAKER_00]: What is that tell you about the universe?
26:28.160 --> 26:28.420
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
26:28.720 --> 26:30.161
[SPEAKER_01]: A man is stripped of his gun.
26:30.201 --> 26:33.063
[SPEAKER_01]: Meanwhile, Donald Trump put an ankle swell up every day.
26:33.303 --> 26:35.685
[SPEAKER_01]: Drinking diacodes, eating fucking taco bowl.
26:35.945 --> 26:36.586
[SPEAKER_01]: And McDonald's.
26:36.626 --> 26:36.906
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
26:37.386 --> 26:38.487
[SPEAKER_01]: So there's that.
26:38.647 --> 26:42.430
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the amount of like the molly gigs I've done in Minnesota.
26:42.510 --> 26:43.151
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, you did a lot.
26:43.171 --> 26:43.251
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
26:43.271 --> 26:45.132
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought you did just one Somali gig.
26:45.172 --> 26:46.113
[SPEAKER_00]: You've been doing a bunch of those?
26:46.955 --> 26:48.057
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to read.
26:48.638 --> 26:49.759
[SPEAKER_01]: We have done it.
26:49.799 --> 26:52.103
[SPEAKER_01]: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
26:52.203 --> 26:55.007
[SPEAKER_00]: I got one for your ass bro talking about worst games.
26:55.047 --> 26:57.891
[SPEAKER_00]: How did we forget the worst gig we've ever done together?
26:58.211 --> 26:59.252
[SPEAKER_01]: What I was going to bring up.
26:59.633 --> 27:02.557
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom the folks about the tragedy.
27:04.312 --> 27:05.353
[SPEAKER_00]: I do that.
27:05.453 --> 27:19.079
[SPEAKER_00]: That truly is, I think, and especially, I understand having bad chose when I started out because I didn't have the skill sets fully to like, you know, you know, you know, I don't know how to all I needed to know to succeed in every setting.
27:19.860 --> 27:23.001
[SPEAKER_00]: But this happened, this happened a fucking year ago.
27:23.061 --> 27:25.002
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, fourteen years into stand-up comedy.
27:25.062 --> 27:26.203
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, I know how to do this.
27:26.683 --> 27:28.404
[SPEAKER_01]: from a gig a week before that.
27:28.705 --> 27:29.686
[SPEAKER_01]: I was on a festival.
27:30.006 --> 27:32.188
[SPEAKER_01]: I had flowers from my headlining show.
27:32.248 --> 27:36.411
[SPEAKER_01]: And then when did this and by God did we bomb so hard on relationships with you.
27:36.431 --> 27:38.253
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, we we almost fought.
27:38.313 --> 27:39.353
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no, we did.
27:40.915 --> 27:41.395
[SPEAKER_00]: It was bad.
27:41.436 --> 27:41.796
[SPEAKER_00]: It was bad.
27:41.836 --> 27:43.998
[SPEAKER_01]: Let me explain.
27:44.618 --> 27:49.082
[SPEAKER_01]: I've been doing this.
27:49.342 --> 27:54.206
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to tell you my point of view and then you can get into it.
27:54.887 --> 27:56.168
[SPEAKER_00]: Here's my point.
27:56.468 --> 28:00.211
[SPEAKER_00]: I get an offer from the University of Minnesota, specifically MSA.
28:00.312 --> 28:02.433
[SPEAKER_00]: MSA is the Muslim blah, blah, blah.
28:02.473 --> 28:03.875
[SPEAKER_00]: So, Muslim, what is it?
28:05.035 --> 28:06.396
[SPEAKER_00]: student association.
28:06.476 --> 28:12.278
[SPEAKER_00]: So I done comedy for a long time and I've done shit for them in the past.
28:12.338 --> 28:18.761
[SPEAKER_00]: So they've asked me, two other times, one of them, the pandemic happened and then the gig didn't come through, go through.
28:19.441 --> 28:24.083
[SPEAKER_00]: And the previous year, twenty-nineteen, I opened for this game.
28:24.103 --> 28:31.026
[SPEAKER_00]: I was a little small and it was just a small or kind of venue and it was a mix of ages.
28:31.106 --> 28:32.287
[SPEAKER_00]: So there was the parents.
28:32.867 --> 28:36.130
[SPEAKER_00]: And there was some students and some maybe little kids.
28:36.290 --> 28:38.212
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so it was like a very family type of show.
28:39.133 --> 28:40.234
[SPEAKER_00]: And I did okay.
28:40.394 --> 28:42.876
[SPEAKER_00]: It was my first time ever doing that type of crowd.
28:43.036 --> 28:51.224
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm always ahead of me and I'm at a big fear of doing like brown Muslim type of shows because we're a, it's not the even the clean and not clean.
28:51.624 --> 28:57.926
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just like we're regions of these communities and we don't feel like we belong.
28:58.066 --> 29:02.927
[SPEAKER_00]: And we don't want to try to belong because then we feel like we're not being just hypocrites.
29:03.087 --> 29:08.869
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't feel authentic to try to pander to a thing that you are not a part of, right?
29:09.089
--> 29:09.809
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that fair to say?
29:10.129 --> 29:10.889
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah.
29:10.949 --> 29:12.650
[SPEAKER_01]: I would like to add one caveat.
29:12.810 --> 29:14.530
[SPEAKER_01]: There is a media literacy problem.
29:16.851 --> 29:43.482
[SPEAKER_01]: in that in these communities people are very isolated and there is like a controlled system self do stand a comedy yet yeah yeah yeah and our people specifically level we're gonna go Yemenis or East Africans or whatever they haven't consumed enough stand-up comedy to be at the level I wear that is a greater point that is a greater point that they just think you're talking up there you know that they think they have like a better state
29:44.531 --> 30:10.257
[SPEAKER_00]: are they've only seen like Russell Peters are like two three other comedians and they think that your comedy looks like and with like for example as far as like foreign crowds goes anyone who's Daisy Indian bucks on these guys have the best crowds because these guys have been concerned they got in when Russell Peters was a big deal like a long time ago and they just consumed so much stand up that their taste is is is almost equal to the taste of just the American audience
30:14.939 --> 30:36.438
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, well, there's the element of like that, but also there's an element of like, there's a type of religious with our people like Yemenis and Somalis that's so annoying and it's not even religious, it's like this weird cultural intertwined with religion, what they think it's religion, where like they they're so judgmental, they're so like, you can't say anything around these fucking people, huh?
30:37.208 --> 30:38.813
[SPEAKER_01]: If you're a student, you're a student.
30:38.833 --> 30:39.194
[SPEAKER_00]: You're a student.
30:39.254 --> 30:40.618
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, okay, like the make well.
30:40.638 --> 30:40.758
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
30:40.918 --> 30:41.139
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
30:41.159 --> 30:43.265
[SPEAKER_01]: He's doing a self-lachelance a lot of.
30:43.285 --> 30:43.606
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
30:43.626 --> 30:44.930
[SPEAKER_01]: He's been eating yourself up.
30:45.392 --> 30:45.572
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
30:45.852 --> 30:46.353
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
30:46.573 --> 30:46.913
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
30:46.993 --> 30:47.173
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
30:47.253 --> 30:51.076
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not that's, you know, doesn't manifest in those ways, but it's just so strict.
30:51.676 --> 30:57.060
[SPEAKER_00]: So so I thought, okay, I've done enough at this point.
30:57.100 --> 30:58.421
[SPEAKER_00]: I've done enough Muslim crowds.
30:58.461 --> 31:03.484
[SPEAKER_00]: I've done enough nine mirror gigs where I can.
31:03.645 --> 31:06.567
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, okay, I can cater my set to the parents.
31:07.627 --> 31:12.811
[SPEAKER_00]: and they'll understand me college students also there's like even if it's white crowds or black crowds.
31:13.151 --> 31:22.398
[SPEAKER_00]: They're too young for me
at this point where there's a big gap in years so I don't even I've lived a life with experiences and they it's just doesn't you know hit
31:23.138 --> 31:26.362
[SPEAKER_00]: and more because I don't I'm not relatable to them.
31:26.462 --> 31:34.091
[SPEAKER_00]: So I was like my whole thing was like I'm just gonna you know make sure I'll focus on the parents and I'll win the parents over because that show had a bunch of parents.
31:34.211 --> 31:35.412
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so that was my angle.
31:35.832 --> 31:41.379
[SPEAKER_00]: So I bring on mad and I'm like I'm able to just find these also Somali and there's gonna be a lot of Somalia's in the crowd and he can like
31:41.859 --> 31:44.219
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, use that as an angle, right?
31:44.320 --> 31:45.560
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I thought.
31:46.160 --> 31:49.541
[SPEAKER_00]: We show up to this gig and it's not in the same venue as in a whole different venue.
31:49.821 --> 31:53.281
[SPEAKER_00]: My sister says I'm coming in and she's bringing in three or four of her friends.
31:53.441 --> 31:54.802
[SPEAKER_00]: She goes to the event at the point.
31:54.962 --> 31:55.402
[SPEAKER_00]: I show up.
31:55.442 --> 31:56.942
[SPEAKER_00]: There's zero parents this time.
31:57.762 --> 32:00.663
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just students and their freshman students.
32:00.683 --> 32:05.764
[SPEAKER_00]: So this is year one, which freshmen are essentially high schoolers in age.
32:06.744 --> 32:17.733
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're in front of a very young and a lot of them are so they were so religiously like weird that they the when they were doing their little buffet before the show.
32:18.333 --> 32:23.217
[SPEAKER_00]: They had the men go first and eat and then the woman followed second.
32:23.257 --> 32:27.681
[SPEAKER_01]: Right there I was like when my left card in my cell.
32:29.970 --> 32:30.571
[SPEAKER_00]: What do we do it?
32:30.631 --> 32:34.334
[SPEAKER_00]: And then there was a prayer before, which, in mind, they had a prayer before the show.
32:35.094 --> 32:39.298
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they segregated the audience a bit, so like, woman or one section.
32:39.318 --> 32:40.179
[SPEAKER_00]: It was weird.
32:40.379 --> 32:41.420
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
32:41.820 --> 32:49.126
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the, then off of all this halal shit, they had stripper lights on stage at the weirdest, like red blue.
32:49.387 --> 32:53.150
[SPEAKER_00]: The crowd is also unruly, so it's a dark room.
32:53.931 --> 33:04.367
[SPEAKER_00]: and the bad boys of the halal squad were all the way in the back and the shadows where you can't see them and you can't address them and you there's no control over them and yeah
33:07.544 --> 33:08.984
[SPEAKER_01]: They're like, how are you?
33:09.024 --> 33:09.785
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my God.
33:09.865 --> 33:10.445
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm getting mad.
33:10.465 --> 33:11.325
[SPEAKER_01]: You're thinking about that.
33:11.365 --> 33:11.445
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
33:11.585 --> 33:16.946
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they would just hackle from the back and you don't even know how to dress just the shadowy hackles.
33:17.746 --> 33:25.808
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'd go up and I'm at, you know, you go up and you do, you do use a profane term for Somali girls.
33:26.288 --> 33:26.928
[SPEAKER_01]: Not through.
33:26.988 --> 33:31.309
[SPEAKER_01]: This is one thing, this is one of those things where I'm like, this is why I got mad.
33:31.349 --> 33:33.290
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, dude, that's the out of profane term.
33:33.710 --> 33:38.974
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so because because my sister, my sister has a lot of some olive friends because Nia, what is what's the word?
33:39.634 --> 33:40.275
[SPEAKER_01]: It's Nia.
33:40.615 --> 33:50.602
[SPEAKER_01]: Nia is like a though as a equivalent of bitch and you're like not because there's the I know also you have to trust that these kids grew up in America.
33:50.902 --> 33:56.346
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I went to some I know I speak somebody and I just means like, hey, come on lady.
33:56.767 --> 33:57.407
[SPEAKER_01]: It's lady.
33:57.567 --> 33:59.328
[SPEAKER_01]: It's considered a lady that it is.
33:59.589 --> 34:00.729
[SPEAKER_00]: So it has no derogatory.
34:03.212 --> 34:06.074
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so so but as a respectful term or no.
34:06.834 --> 34:09.416
[SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't call it a different factor for me.
34:09.716 --> 34:11.357
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so it's not that bad is what you saying.
34:11.717 --> 34:14.979
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, it's like it's like it's like it's like broad.
34:15.460 --> 34:21.083
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it's something the way I get like to it's not like to it's sugar kids are any of that.
34:21.143 --> 34:22.304

[SPEAKER_00]: That was your settler.
35:53.853 --> 36:13.261
[SPEAKER_00]: And as and four out of the seven minutes were straight up war I think you got it like you got one bit in before things went south and then I had to go up after Ahmed and I have to do an hour and now because they know where friends were hanging out in the back while I also I don't think they liked us because while everybody was praying or just in the back
36:14.913 --> 36:23.576
[SPEAKER_00]: So anyway, so I go up and like, try and, but I can tell these students, they don't want to hear us, they don't want to listen to us.
36:23.996 --> 36:27.077
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm doing a bit, and I thought it was just an innocent bit.
36:27.237 --> 36:28.198

[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, man, but we made it, man.
41:13.798 --> 41:16.063
[SPEAKER_00]: And we've done some weird shows together.
41:16.103 --> 41:19.331
[SPEAKER_00]: Remember when we did speak it, let's do a positive cop story, okay?
41:20.314 --> 41:23.976
[SPEAKER_00]: We, me and Ahmed, I was a headlining, and we did a cop show.
41:24.136 --> 41:30.598
[SPEAKER_00]: We did a show for, it was a corporate gig, and it was all cops, and we're enrocious from Minnesota, and it was at Hotel.
41:31.359 --> 41:33.460
[SPEAKER_00]: And we, I think we both killed it.
41:33.480 --> 41:35.000
[SPEAKER_00]: We both had a great set.
41:35.421 --> 41:41.743
[SPEAKER_00]: And the cops were like, love us, and Ahmed may or may not kind of blow up of one of them.
41:41.763 --> 41:43.484
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, bro, protect us too, man.
41:43.504 --> 41:44.825
[SPEAKER_01]: She was in the beginning.
41:45.245 --> 41:46.405
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a taxpayer.
41:46.445 --> 41:47.046
[SPEAKER_01]: When are you hit?
41:50.410 --> 41:51.951
[SPEAKER_00]: That's like a movie, right?
41:52.011 --> 41:53.492
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyways, so yeah
42:18.092 --> 42:32.497
[SPEAKER_00]: We they were cool like the cops are like especially the organizers They invited us to this like bar hang afterwards and we hung out with them and they were really sweet and nice and I got to know like inside shit like so apparently like cops
42:33.097 --> 42:40.046
[SPEAKER_00]: They'll respect troopers that much and so like you know the jokes that we have about troopers and being pulled over for no reason all this up.
42:40.146 --> 42:41.027
[SPEAKER_00]: That's their jokes.
42:41.468 --> 42:44.512
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what they they is like yeah, let me do an impression of a trooper.
42:44.752 --> 42:49.758
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you know why I pulled you over like one of the cops was saying that I was like this is like there's some nuance shit to this.
42:51.439 --> 42:57.061
[SPEAKER_00]: And one thing that kind of started giving me like a different kind of perspective on them is this, okay?
42:57.101 --> 42:58.582
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're hanging out with these guys.
42:58.922 --> 43:02.803
[SPEAKER_00]: The next morning, these guys are like serve a lot of them are from Plymouth.
43:02.903 --> 43:06.044
[SPEAKER_00]: The next morning, somebody gets a cop gets killed in Plymouth.
43:06.084 --> 43:06.544
[SPEAKER_00]: Remember this?
43:06.805 --> 43:08.865
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it was in Bernsville, sorry.
43:10.486 --> 43:11.906
[SPEAKER_00]: And we've met
the squad.
43:11.986 --> 43:13.607
[SPEAKER_00]: We met like people that work with the kid.
43:14.348 --> 43:15.429
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah.
43:15.790 --> 43:35.290
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I was like, this is the, this is, I see why they kind of, why they have to like protect each other in a way because we live in an environment because of Floyd because all these brutality that happens, it just not a good look for us to like, you know, be like, you know, like we can't even stand up for cops in any way with that like
43:35.851 --> 43:36.852
[SPEAKER_00]: be in pursuit this runway.
43:36.872 --> 43:43.915
[SPEAKER_00]: So I was like, because we can't have been sided with you guys in a certain way, I see why you have to kind of protect yourselves.
43:43.975 --> 43:50.319
[SPEAKER_00]: And I see the thanklessness of the job from like I had a lot more empathy for them after that.
43:50.439 --> 43:54.521
[SPEAKER_01]: I understand the bad, the bad sort of deep you know.
43:54.601 --> 43:57.343
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
43:57.723 --> 44:05.047
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, with all that authority comes as sort of like it is kind of shooting when people are like, well, yeah, that comes with the job and all that you know.
44:05.207 --> 44:05.707
[SPEAKER_00]: That shouldn't.
44:06.328 --> 44:06.988
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's good.
44:07.008 --> 44:09.749
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that anyways, we all we want.
44:09.829 --> 44:10.810
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, man, we just want love.

45:19.002 --> 45:19.182
[SPEAKER_00]: You're in.
45:19.222 --> 45:19.862
[SPEAKER_01]: You're in.
45:20.382 --> 45:21.342
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to be a test.
45:21.522 --> 45:22.102
[SPEAKER_00]: There's going to be a test.
45:22.122 --> 45:23.783
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, there's got to be a test.
45:23.843 --> 45:27.883
[SPEAKER_00]: And this isn't this, but now you know, I'll defend my people a little bit, our people.
45:28.043 --> 45:33.585
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's plenty of, you know, we've done white rooms or like these guys have never heard a joke on you.
45:33.865 --> 45:35.865
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this isn't to be like white rooms or the better.
45:36.487 --> 45:39.690
[SPEAKER_00]: The more religious the audience, the more they suck, that's what I realize.
45:39.710 --> 45:45.295
[SPEAKER_00]: Because if I do like really ultra-Christian shows, there is bad as the Muslim shows.
45:45.715 --> 45:47.557
[SPEAKER_00]: Because they get sheltered, right?
45:47.577 --> 45:48.918
[SPEAKER_00]: So you can't watch it.
45:48.938 --> 45:51.000
[SPEAKER_00]: So on TV shows, you can't watch their movies.
45:51.040 --> 45:54.102
[SPEAKER_00]: You can, these Canadians are scandalous, et cetera.
45:56.875 --> 45:57.456
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what it is.
45:58.217 --> 46:00.940
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're super religious, don't don't pull up.
46:01.921 --> 46:05.906
[SPEAKER_01]: But like if like the random police don't connect up like a stupid fence.
46:06.046 --> 46:08.348
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they're fun.
46:08.369 --> 46:09.790
