• 1:07Speaker 02

  You gotta come to India, man. We gotta go to the dung festival. What's a dung festival? No, no, there's not. You don't wanna go to the dung festival? Pinkai for everybody.

• 1:17Speaker 03

  What was Adam and Eve? What were they?

• 1:19Speaker 02

  What were they? That's a good question. Maybe white people can tell us that.

• 1:22Speaker 03

  Christian. They're Christians.

• 1:23Speaker 04

  They're Muslim. Adam might have been Indian, bro. Because he was made from mud.

• 1:30Speaker 02

  All right, it's been good, guys.

• 1:35Speaker 02

  This looks like the front of a mosque right here. That's why we are like that. There's a detention center right behind it. That's so fucked up. Genuinely, what's happening with ICE is really fucking diabolical.

• 1:46Speaker 03

  It is.

• 1:46Speaker 02

  So fucked up. Who's gonna finish your roof?

• 1:51Speaker 02

  I get the podcast now, I get it. Yeah, yeah. I get it. Let me tell you something. I wanna pick out podcast couches. You're comfortable. You wanna switch? No, come on.

  Let me give you some Middle Eastern hospitality. Come here.

• 2:08Speaker 05

  Switch, yeah.

• 2:10Speaker 02

  Come here, come here, sit down. I'm not gonna switch. I'm not gonna switch. Everybody's gonna think it's weird.

• 2:16Speaker 03

  No, it's not. No, it's not. No, it's not.

• 2:19Speaker 02

  No, bro, let me see, maybe it's not that good though. Let's go, we're good, we got this.

• 2:23Speaker 03

  What's up everybody, welcome to Flagrant and today we are here with our boy Mo Armour, new Netflix special out, Wild World, go check it right now. Talking cash shit right up top.

• 2:35Speaker 02

  Let's go.

• 2:36Speaker 03

  Okay, about the world's most famous Palestinian.

• 2:40Speaker 02

  Well, is he? I didn't even know, no, I'm just kidding. Every time I say something, they're like, is he Palestinian? We didn't even know he's Palestinian.

• 2:47Speaker 03

  Yeah, why, why do you think he hasn't spoken at all?

• 2:50Speaker 02

  I don't know, it's a question that's more geared toward him than me, I think.

• 2:53Speaker 03

  But do you not, you speculate. Do you not talk with him?

• 2:56Speaker 02

  I mean.

• 2:56Speaker 03

  Akash Warde's Kaffiyah?

• 2:58Speaker 02

  We met, we met.

• 3:02Speaker 03

  This is how you make you feel comfortable, feel supported here, okay?

• 3:07Speaker 02

  I'm so glad he wore black and white today, you should always wear black and white, it would have been really wild if we both.

• 3:11Speaker 03

  Yeah, you know Ices out here when you wear the fucking Canadian tuxedo.

• 3:16Speaker 02

  I just wanna show them that I belong.

• 3:18Speaker 03

  You're a citizen now, bro.

• 3:20Speaker 02

  I've been a citizen.

• 3:20Speaker 03

  You got a passport?

• 3:21Speaker 02

  I have, yeah.

• 3:22Speaker 03

  Nobody can tell you shit.

• 3:23Speaker 02

  Well, they can actually, they can take it away actually, they can just do whatever they want.

• 3:27Speaker 03

  Damn. Well, not Mo, we need Mo, we need Mo.

• 3:29Speaker 02

  No, no, you can't take my citizenship.

• 3:31Speaker 03

  We need Mo.

• 3:31Speaker 02

  Please don't.

• 3:32Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 3:32Speaker 02

  Have a son. God forbid you take my citizenship and I have to move to a tax-free country, like, God forbid.

• 3:39Speaker 03

  You know how close he was just moving his body, be honest. When you pay taxes every year.

• 3:46Speaker 02

  It's like, ugh.

• 3:47Speaker 03

  Set up the P O box, bro.

• 3:48Speaker 02

  One more school shooting, I'm like, we can't raise my son.

• 3:52Speaker 03

  He waiting for some fuck shit.

• 3:54Speaker 02

  It's not like it used to be, we gotta make moves, babe, we gotta make moves. You just gotta wait 15 seconds for the next one, bro. It's really sad.

• 4:02Speaker 05

  That is, that is like.

• 4:03Speaker 02

  Bro, when you. You're fucked up, bro.

• 4:06Speaker 06

  He tried to downshift, he said, yeah, it's really sad.

• 4:11Speaker 02

  No, but you get after the joke.

• 4:13Speaker 06

  No, do the Netflix thing.

• 4:14Speaker 02

  After the joke, no, after the joke.

• 4:16Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 4:16Speaker 02

  You get to settle in and feel how fucked up everything is. So you have to say it out loud.

• 4:21Speaker 05

  Are you talking about the school shootings or taxation?

• 4:24Speaker 02

  Both.

• 4:24Speaker 05

  Okay, okay. Cause you're from Houston, so you shouldn't be complaining about this shit.

• 4:28Speaker 02

  No, I'm not, I'm not complaining, bro.

• 4:30Speaker 05

  Because out here, you know, it's wild, right?

• 4:31Speaker 02

  It's much, much worse, yeah, I heard, I heard, yeah. I've never left Texas, won't leave Texas.

• 4:36Speaker 05

  Never.

• 4:36Speaker 02

  I'm a Texan.

• 4:37Speaker 05

  What's the most, you've been all over America, what's the most Middle Eastern part of America without them realizing it is?

• 4:44Speaker 02

  Without them realizing it?

• 4:45Speaker 05

  Yeah, like, where's like the white people in America?

• 4:47Speaker 06

  Not yet, where are the most, not where are the most Middle Eastern people, where are the most white people who act Middle Eastern and don't realize?

• 4:51Speaker 05

  But they don't even realize it, like, you.

• 4:53Speaker 02

  Basically, the entire South.

• 4:55Speaker 05

  So the South is way more Middle Eastern than they even think.

• 4:57Speaker 02

  Absolutely, bro, they love God, country, family, like this, this is why I get along with my neighbors, hey Scott, how you doing? You know, like, it's like, you feel that shit, like, you're there for each other when shit goes down, like, they're very.

• 5:10Speaker 06

  They feed the fuck out of you.

• 5:11Speaker 02

  Yeah, they feed the fuck out of you, I've rolled up on my neighbor before, he's like, just gutting a deer, I'm like, what are you doing? He was like, it's pretty self-explanatory, bro, you got the goddamn deer, you know what I mean? And he's just like making deer sausage, yeah, I don't know, it just feels, it just reminds me of my childhood, you know what I mean?

• 5:28Speaker 06

  Right.

• 5:29Speaker 02

  It does, cause I, I think I, I think I was like six or seven years old, the first time I saw an animal being gutted.

• 5:35Speaker 05

  This is in Kuwait?

• 5:35Speaker 02

  This was in Kuwait, yeah.

• 5:36Speaker 05

  Okay, so you're born and raised in Kuwait for a few years, at least, till nine years?

• 5:41Speaker 02

  Yeah, nine years old, and then the Gulf War happens, and I'm saying goes into Kuwait, I end up in Houston, Texas.

• 5:46Speaker 05

  You guys dipped.

• 5:48Speaker 02

  We dipped, we stayed for the, well, I stayed with my sister, my family for like the first two and a half months, and then my mom got myself and my sister out of there.

• 5:59Speaker 02

  And we ended up in Houston, yeah.

• 6:00Speaker 05

  Now, is this a real story? I heard this story about your mom sewing money into the suitcases.

• 6:07Speaker 02

  Yeah, I put it in season one of my show. It's absolutely true.

• 6:10Speaker 05

  But that's from real life?

• 6:10Speaker 02

  Absolutely true. She sewed, she actually, she sewed it in the lining of her purse. And so I was just remembering, just watching my mom, like, who is this human being? It's like, you don't know who your parents are until like, something like this happens.

• 6:22Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 6:23Speaker 02

  Like, you don't know if they're good under pressure or horrible under pressure. My parents were unbelievable under pressure.

• 6:27Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 6:28Speaker 02

  And it's like, the first time you see them so uneasy when everything has been so wonderful up until then, and you just see her like, turn it on. And, uh, yeah, she sews it in the lining of the purse and she was getting my sister and I out. The whole plan was, I'm gonna get my sister and get, you know, my sister and I out of there. She was gonna come back to Kuwait, finish out everything else, and then meet us in the States. That was the whole idea. And so on the way to Jordan, we had a stop in Baghdad and they were searching all the, all the suitcases because they were finding any valuables that would just take them or tax you or whatever.

• 7:03Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah.

• 7:04Speaker 02

  You know, you gotta pay a fee, you know what I mean? So that's what the thing was. So my, so, uh, so my mom stayed on the bus, actually, and she like, because she had a little bit of money left over, and she just didn't know where else to put it. So she just like, hid it under clothes.

• 7:17Speaker 05

  Right.

• 7:17Speaker 02

  Well, they were just throwing the clothes out of the suitcase. She was like, oh my God. So she told my sister and I to get off the bus. And while they were searching everything, the soldier sees my mom never got off of there. But while she was on the bus by herself, she messed up all the clothes. She had some like, orange peels from, from the, from the drive. So she just poured all the trash all over it. And then the, the soldier comes up on there, is like, starts yelling at her. The sergeant sees him yelling at a woman, he gets pissed off at him. He jumps on the bus, he's like, what's wrong with you? You know, look at her suitcase, it's obviously been searched already.

• 7:49Speaker 05

  It's orange peels everywhere.

• 7:50Speaker 02

  Everywhere.

• 7:51Speaker 05

  Such a good distraction, yeah.

• 7:52Speaker 02

  Such a good thing. And she goes, look at her face, that's not a face of a liar. And he goes, he apologized to her and, and we left him. My mom fucking pulled that off in the most stressful of circumstances.

• 8:02Speaker 05

  That's unbelievable.

• 8:03Speaker 02

  I heard that after.

• 8:04Speaker 03

  That's just a snippet of it, bro.

• 8:06Speaker 05

  No, no, I wanna get into all of it. But I heard after season one came out.

• 8:09Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 8:09Speaker 05

  They executed that soldier.

• 8:10Speaker 02

  No.

• 8:13Speaker 03

  He probably died of natural causes. He was like, he's probably sixty.

• 8:20Speaker 03

  I hope this is.

• 8:21Speaker 05

  Have you reached out to him? We gotta reach out to him.

• 8:23Speaker 02

  I don't know how to get a hold of him. I was nine years old.

• 8:25Speaker 05

  Good old orange peel, man.

• 8:26Speaker 02

  This is how we're gonna kick this off.

• 8:28Speaker 05

  Yo, this is how we're kicking it off. I want to talk about DJ Khalid. He's never seen orange peels.

• 8:32Speaker 02

  Yeah, he's never seen.

• 8:36Speaker 02

  I heard he just eats it whole.

• 8:39Speaker 05

  He's like a hippopotamus.

• 8:41Speaker 02

  He thought it was just an apple. It was the same thing. It's just like, you know.

• 8:45Speaker 05

  Living life.

• 8:46Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah. There's nothing really to say about him, to be honest with you. It was more so, I opened the special that way. And even like I'm saying this now, you're not gonna see it coming, you know? It's really just a dope opening to something that I've never seen in a stand-up special before. So I wanted to like do it that way. But um, but yeah, it's just like, I was kind of like, the idea is that over the last two years of writing a TV show, of the only Palestinian television show in the history of American television, and feeling all the stress of that, and then at the same time, you're kind of seeing what everybody else is saying, and what they're doing, and what's going on. You know, as comedians, that's what we do. We say the thing out loud that everybody's thinking, but nobody's saying. So when I do that, and I've done that, you know, that opening line in like thirty countries.

• 9:30Speaker 05

  They go crazy.

• 9:31Speaker 02

  They fucking lose their minds.

• 9:36Speaker 02

  Yeah, finally somebody said it, you know what I mean?

• 9:39Speaker 05

  Is there a part of you, like when you see that opening line just crushing so hard, is there a little part of you that's like, I hope that motherfucker doesn't come on board now?

• 9:49Speaker 05

  You can't take away my opening.

• 9:50Speaker 02

  As a matter of fact, it's, it's, it's, it is a lifeline. But it's intended to be a lifeline. Like, yes, it's.

• 9:57Speaker 05

  It's not too late. Oh, it's never too late.

• 9:59Speaker 02

  No, it is. It is from a lot of people's minds for sure. It is too late. Because it's gonna look fake no matter what, right? But it's like the opening line, and then there is the ending of the special, where I do this time bit. It's like a poem, you know, slash comedy bit, slash, you know, trying to encapsulate everything that's been going on the last two years. And in that portion, I do, you know, it's like a, it's like, hey, it's never too late kind of thing. It's never too late. There's a chance for him to do something about it.

• 10:28Speaker 05

  Is it wild to see, like, American, like in your lifetime, is it wild to see?

• 10:33Speaker 03

  Americans start to care about the struggle?

• 10:37Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 10:37Speaker 03

  Is that?

• 10:37Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 10:38Speaker 03

  What is that like? Do you feel, is it confusing almost to see it?

• 10:41Speaker 02

  No, it's more like about time.

• 10:43Speaker 03

  Of course, that feeling is there.

• 10:45Speaker 02

  Because it's like I've been talking about it for so long and there's been a, like a massive struggle for me in the business itself.

• 10:51Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 10:51Speaker 02

  And all the hurdles that I've had and like of telling me like, change your name, go to LA, don't tell me you're Palestinian. I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, what's going on? Like, why, why do I have to do that? Like, I just never really understood that fully. I got it, but I didn't understand it fully, to be honest with you.

• 11:04Speaker 03

  What made you stay true?

• 11:07Speaker 02

  It's impossible. What am I gonna, I can't pretend to be something else. Stand up is the, the essence of stand up is being yourself on stage. And it takes years of practice to be yourself on stage.

• 11:17Speaker 03

  Right.

• 11:17Speaker 02

  And just shifting that, you know, you'll be something else. I mean, you could think of an example, probably.

• 11:23Speaker 03

  Yeah. Who, who, who?

• 11:26Speaker 02

  Carlos Mazzina.

• 11:28Speaker 03

  His name is Matt Holt.

• 11:31Speaker 03

  I don't want to start that shit.

• 11:34Speaker 02

  I was hoping you'd say it, to be honest with you. I'm like, come on, come on, Andrew.

• 11:38Speaker 03

  Yo, the thing about Carlos though is that he looks so Mexican.

• 11:42Speaker 02

  Yes, yes. Hunter and German.

• 11:43Speaker 06

  He got treated, whatever racism Mexicans get, he probably caught that.

• 11:45Speaker 03

  Yeah, like if you look at.

• 11:47Speaker 02

  Yeah, no, for sure, for sure. I'm saying like to, it would be a part of myself.

• 11:51Speaker 03

  Al is, Al is, Al, are you even black?

• 11:54Speaker 02

  You can't tell?

• 11:57Speaker 02

  I'm not gonna stand for this, man. It's some bullshit, bro.

• 12:00Speaker 03

  Black people can speak up here.

• 12:04Speaker 03

  What percentage are you?

• 12:05Speaker 04

  I'm 50% black.

• 12:07Speaker 03

  Okay, so you get, you get to say it. You get to say it.

• 12:13Speaker 03

  It's a declaration.

• 12:14Speaker 02

  You can say what?

• 12:15Speaker 03

  You can say that word that he says when no cameras are over.

• 12:20Speaker 03

  Can I tell you something?

• 12:22Speaker 02

  I've been called that word with sand in front of it.

• 12:26Speaker 03

  It's a damn it. It's a damn it, right? What is, when, when you first heard the sand version? What did that feel like?

• 12:33Speaker 02

  I was, it was nine 11. It was like, I've been in the country like 10 years. I didn't even know this slur even existed.

• 12:39Speaker 03

  Nine 11 inspired some fire racism.

• 12:41Speaker 02

  Some real fire racism.

• 12:42Speaker 03

  Can we admit that?

• 12:44Speaker 06

  Until nine 11?

• 12:45Speaker 02

  No, in Houston, it was like, yeah, of course, there was that.

• 12:48Speaker 03

  They thought he was Carlos Mazzina.

• 12:50Speaker 02

  Fuck you.

• 12:55Speaker 06

  If we're talking about Houston, by the way, he says the N word.

• 12:58Speaker 02

  It's the most diverse city in America. 100%.

• 13:04Speaker 06

  It is the most diverse city and they love telling you that. And they love telling you that, it's a fact.

• 13:10Speaker 02

  There's a lot of Houston, bro.

• 13:11Speaker 06

  It's a fact and they love telling you that after they say the N word.

• 13:16Speaker 05

  That's their justification?

• 13:17Speaker 06

  Yeah, yeah.

• 13:18Speaker 05

  No, I heard that, uh, New York is the most diverse.

• 13:21Speaker 02

  Feel free to just make up whatever you want.

• 13:24Speaker 05

  I'm just saying.

• 13:24Speaker 02

  And we're going off of, what do you, do you like going off of numbers? According to Forbes magazine, which is never wrong.

• 13:31Speaker 02

  It's the most diverse city in America.

• 13:32Speaker 05

  Forbes said that shit.

• 13:33Speaker 02

  Forbes.

• 13:33Speaker 05

  But in New York, like, we don't fill out the census, so nobody, it's only white people fill out, so it feels more white.

• 13:38Speaker 02

  You think people are filling out census in Houston?

• 13:39Speaker 05

  I think they tricked them.

• 13:41Speaker 02

  Yo!

• 13:43Speaker 02

  Legit, like, the, the neighborhood I grew up in, Aleaf, which is like, uh, just had so many amazing people come out of there.

• 13:50Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 13:51Speaker 02

  Um, it has like 90, 90 languages spoken in that neighborhood alone. It's pretty.

• 13:55Speaker 05

  No.

• 13:56Speaker 02

  It's according to the school system and stuff.

• 13:58Speaker 05

  Houston is like the first level of the video game of America.

• 14:01Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 14:02Speaker 05

  For like immigrants. You know, like, if America was kinda complicit in doing some fuck shit to your country?

• 14:07Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 14:07Speaker 05

  We go, alright, y'all can come, but you gotta survive Houston.

• 14:10Speaker 02

  Houston, yes.

• 14:11Speaker 05

  And then after that, you get to have this American experience.

• 14:14Speaker 02

  It's the best.

• 14:14Speaker 05

  Cause didn't all like the Cambodians go there and like the?

• 14:17Speaker 02

  Nigerians. Vietnamese.

• 14:18Speaker 05

  No, Vietnamese as well, yeah.

• 14:20Speaker 02

  I don't know about the Cambodian population, but I know there's a huge Vietnamese population and a huge Nigerian population as well.

• 14:25Speaker 05

  100%, but, and I'm sure you could tell the difference, obviously, between the Cambodians and Vietnamese, just off of looking at them.

• 14:31Speaker 02

  Impossible.

• 14:33Speaker 02

  Impossible, impossible. Let's just say Vietnamese.

• 14:36Speaker 05

  Shout out to Cambodians, though, for real. We love y'all, we appreciate y'all, and we're glad the war stopped.

• 14:41Speaker 02

  Man, fuck that. Y'all, I'll tell you exactly where the studio is.

• 14:45Speaker 05

  We need to repair it.

• 14:48Speaker 05

  Shout out to Cambodians. The Bodians, the Bodians.

• 14:53Speaker 02

  What's happening?

• 14:55Speaker 05

  Listen, Mo is on here, obviously, we're talking reckless, you know what I mean? Listen, we're the only people in America right now that believe that Muslims should hear jokes. I think we're the only, I think we're the only one, two, what are we, five of us? We're the only five comedians that believe that.

• 15:12Speaker 02

  It's so...

• 15:14Speaker 05

  Yo, how did you feel about when you...

• 15:15Speaker 02

  It's so disgusting, bro. It's the whole, you come at the...

• 15:17Speaker 05

  I'm glad you're talking, I'm just, I'm, I'm just, I could not wait to talk to you about it because it's...

• 15:21Speaker 02

  It's so disgusting, bro. It's, I find it so wildly appalling. First of all, like, even the comedians that went there talking about, "Hey, they liked it! They fucking laughed!"

• 15:31Speaker 05

  Like they're shocked?

• 15:34Speaker 02

  Just hearing some of the fucking comments, or even like the guys that go on podcasts talking about, "Oh, we're making jokes to the guys that didn't get invited, that didn't get to go to the shows." Talking about, "Don't, don't, don't, don't do in this kind of shit. Fuck you too."

• 15:45Speaker 05

  What was that, the...

• 15:46Speaker 02

  Fuck you too.

• 15:47Speaker 05

  And you understand what he said? What did he say?

• 15:50Speaker 02

  No, they were like, it was like, there was a podcast, no, no, this bullshit, bro. It's like really, really upsetting because they think it's like... I wish I got that back from Saudi.

• 15:59Speaker 02

  It's straight up like, yeah, exactly. It's just straight up the like casual racism of it all is fucking insane.

• 16:04Speaker 05

  It's the bigotry of low expectations.

• 16:06Speaker 02

  It's insane, bro. It's so wildly appalling. And then, first of all, for me, from my perspective, bro, I'm, I'm a Palestinian roaming around in these streets. Like, no matter where I go, I'm dealing with something. And also, like, me going to that region, going to Saudi Arabia, going to Riyadh itself, how many Palestinians that reached out to me after the show, that brought their kids, man, I'm so, it makes me emotional, bro.

• 16:29Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 16:30Speaker 02

  That my kids got to see you on stage, got to say the things that you got to say, and it was completely free rein, and got to do what you want to do. So fuck you for your casual racism, fuck you for not wanting to push the needle forward, fuck you for not like, even, even, even like, considering of being upset that the film industry's there, NFL is there, UFC, everything, Mr. Beast.

• 16:53Speaker 05

  The six best tennis players in the world.

• 16:55Speaker 02

  Everybody is there, and you want to pick on comics? The most freest art form on planet earth, probably the last free art form on planet earth. We can actually push the needle forward and you're talking about this is the issue? I find a huge, huge beef with that. And you're talking about like 284 journalists killed in Gaza and nothing about that, nobody's like having a beef with, with, with doing shows and television or anything like that? Fuck that, bro.

• 17:21Speaker 05

  Talk your shit.

• 17:22Speaker 02

  I'm being, this is the truth.

• 17:23Speaker 05

  We the best.

• 17:25Speaker 02

  We the best comedy.

• 17:28Speaker 05

  Comedy we the best.

• 17:29Speaker 02

  No, it's like, it's like, I really, I really find it to be appalling, bro. The casual racism is fucking insane. And I'm a Muslim, I'm a Muslim. My brother's buried there down the street. You couldn't stop me from going there and performing for my own people. And as far as money is concerned, it was very much like in line of what I get paid in the Middle East.

• 17:48Speaker 05

  That's what I kept telling people.

• 17:49Speaker 02

  It wasn't like I went out there and like, oh my God, I got six yu- no, it's very much in line for what I got paid everywhere else.

• 17:55Speaker 05

  Tell them how rich, tell them how rich you are, tell them.

• 17:57Speaker 02

  I'm not paying taxes. I just got this money. I'm paying all the taxes. That's the one thing I don't fuck around with in America, I pay all the taxes.

• 18:09Speaker 05

  I'm more afraid of those three letters than I should.

• 18:11Speaker 02

  All of them. 100%. I'm giving a fuck, I'm comfortable, I've been in worse situations than a detention center. I just be chilling, I make good things happen in that detention center.

• 18:21Speaker 05

  I love, I love that that's your perspective and maybe like ours is different because like we performed in the Middle East before, so we knew what to expect about it. But like, the funniest thing is when you see these people who like identify as very progressive and they, it's like their expectations of people are so low that it doesn't match up with the progressive ideals.

• 18:40Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 18:40Speaker 05

  You know what I mean? Like, I couldn't believe you do that. Like, I couldn't believe.

• 18:43Speaker 02

  I couldn't believe it. I just can't believe you would just go and perform for these animals. Let's just say it. Just fucking say it.

• 18:50Speaker 05

  Say it, say it.

• 18:50Speaker 02

  Just say it.

• 18:51Speaker 05

  Exactly.

• 18:52Speaker 02

  Just say it. And I've been dealing with this shit my whole life and I don't want to hear anything about it, especially like from comedians attacking other comedians. It's really fucked up and I just really don't like that. And it's not where we need to be as comedians. We need to be, you know, more thoughtful and have real dialogue and not just trying to. Throw people under the bus for absolutely no reason. I'm just really just shocked by it. I was really, really blown away by it. I couldn't believe it. In Houston, my hometown, the place where I brought the first ever narrative sitcom, you know, to that spot is millions of dollars of revenue is coming to that city from me bringing a show, way more than I ever made on a TV show. And, you know, I stood for Houston. I love Houston. I still live in Houston. That's my town. That's my shit. They couldn't wait to shit on it. No. Wait to shit on it.

• 19:36Speaker 03

  Really?

• 19:37Speaker 02

  Somebody putting it out there like, shame on you. Shame on you, motherfuckers. Shame on you. Shame on you. All I've done is give up so much. You think it was easy to film in Houston? Think that was an easy pitch to fucking go to Netflix? But hey, I want to really film this as realistically as possible, as grounded as possible. And Houston, Texas is a place that has no structure for film and television. And the moment, the moment I go over there, you want to throw me in there? Fuck you for that.

• 20:01Speaker 05

  Hey, you already been over there.

• 20:02Speaker 02

  Houston Chronicle.

• 20:03Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 20:03Speaker 03

  But you already been over there.

• 20:04Speaker 02

  I've already been over there. I've been over there and I'm also, I'm a Muslim, bro. I'm a Muslim. It's the obligation to go to Mecca. I have to go to Mecca as well. It's like part of that system. And my brother's buried there. I lost my brother three weeks before my first season came out. Like, how dare you? How dare you? How dare you?

• 20:20Speaker 06

  I want to give you a chance to push back. This is, uh, people say like, well, the government paid and you're accepting money from the government. I want you to speak on that.

• 20:28Speaker 02

  What do you mean?

• 20:28Speaker 06

  That somehow that makes it immoral. I don't agree.

• 20:32Speaker 02

  Where does all this money come from? It all has one source. This is nothing to do with it. I sold tickets there. That's where I think about it. I think about going there as pre-negotiated. I go there and do that. Nobody's sitting there, no royal family sitting there writing checks to you. Do that as part of a big fun.

• 20:45Speaker 05

  I think they don't realize that people had to buy tickets to go to the show.

• 20:48Speaker 02

  People had to buy tickets to go to the show.

• 20:49Speaker 06

  To be honest, I wish they didn't. I wish it was free.

• 20:51Speaker 02

  They booked people who can come out and sell tickets. And we could have done a much bigger venue, probably. I was last, you know, one of the later ones to be added. Fucked up enough. I was booked on October 7th. Which was like, why did you do this to me?

• 21:04Speaker 05

  We did Dubai October 7th.

• 21:06Speaker 02

  We flipped.

• 21:06Speaker 05

  Bro, it was, they were exhausted from celebrating all that.

• 21:09Speaker 02

  Okay, no, no, no. They were exhausted. You can't say that funny.

• 21:13Speaker 05

  You can't say that funny.

• 21:13Speaker 02

  Nobody.

• 21:14Speaker 05

  They can't.

• 21:15Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 21:17Speaker 02

  I ain't signing shit. I ain't signing shit. I was funny as fuck.

• 21:27Speaker 02

  I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it.

• 21:31Speaker 05

  No, but it's good to hear that perspective and like, it is funny.

• 21:34Speaker 02

  Bro, the casual, I can't stand it, bro.

• 21:36Speaker 05

  I think it was fake, bro. I'll be honest, I think it was fake. Yeah. Like, like, there are people who fell for it, but I think that a lot of it was started by bots. Because literally two weeks after, we all said this, like, in two weeks, nobody will even make a peep about this. And it has completely died down. Yeah, it is. And then what has happened to Saudi over the next two weeks?

• 21:54Speaker 02

  I think it was a negotiating thing. Somebody was negotiating something and that's what created the pressure. That's probably what it was. And then even the fans, like, maybe like, creating a little fuss to like, create some negotiating leverage. I don't know. I'm just speculating here.

• 22:06Speaker 05

  You're saying between countries?

• 22:07Speaker 02

  Maybe, yeah, maybe. Maybe it's the case or agencies, whatever. I don't know.

• 22:11Speaker 05

  People did hop on it though. CNN was on it, comics were on it, actors.

• 22:14Speaker 02

  So there's any distraction that they can fucking come on, like, they just start doing it.

• 22:18Speaker 05

  They just need to have an opinion about everything.

• 22:19Speaker 02

  The part that really frustrated me is like, really pissed me off is that I'm, nobody even like, you just lumped me into this shit and me being Palestinian, me being what, my background and the, everything that we've done as, as comedians to try to push the needle forward and try to just be truth tellers, hopefully, and storytellers. And then there's people even took the money and came back and fucking apologized. That was crazy. That's just crazy, bro. Don't do that. Don't do that. These people want the, the fans in Saudi. I mean, 50% I think the population is actually Saudi. I think something like that.

• 22:52Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 22:52Speaker 02

  And who's the other 50%? You know, who's the other 50%? So it's just like, it's not like we were sitting and performing, we were performing for real fans, people that had appetite for this, people that wanted to see this. And I can't tell you enough, like, the amount of emails that I got from, like, people, like, parents that brought their kids out or Palestinians that were there that were like, oh my God, I can't believe you said those things. And it's just made me feel so empowered and free.

• 23:18Speaker 05

  Because a lot of these, a lot of people that talked about it. They're gonna go out on tour around the world.

• 23:22Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 23:23Speaker 05

  And they're gonna start to realize that like, you know, there are rules in certain countries that might not align with their progressive policies or politics. And we're gonna see if there's any pushback. I don't think there will be.

• 23:33Speaker 02

  I don't think there will be.

• 23:34Speaker 05

  The whole thing was fake in the first place.

• 23:35Speaker 02

  Yeah, it is. And there's another thing.

• 23:36Speaker 05

  Nobody actually cares.

• 23:37Speaker 02

  Exactly. And here's another thing, too. It's like even some of my fans were like, "I expected better from you." I was like, "Well, I expected better from you, actually." Hmm. Because I thought you would trust me. I thought you would trust me to be the same person no matter where I went.

• 23:48Speaker 05

  Hmm.

• 23:49Speaker 02

  That's the biggest thing. Like, I don't change. There's a lot of people that go, do change, you know? It's not, I'm not saying it doesn't exist. People that go to a certain country and then they become like the monkeys for that country. Like, no, no, no.

• 24:00Speaker 05

  Talk your shit.

• 24:00Speaker 02

  I'm myself, no matter where I go. It's very important to be thoughtful in the things that you say, and I'm very, very like technical with it.

• 24:09Speaker 05

  Who, who?

• 24:09Speaker 02

  I've been doing this shit for a long time.

• 24:11Speaker 05

  Who, who?

• 24:11Speaker 02

  No, I don't know who.

• 24:14Speaker 05

  Give us some Cat Williams. Give us that Cat Williams, bro. We want that Cat Williams.

• 24:19Speaker 02

  I genuinely don't really have examples. I'm talking about myself only. That's the only person I can speak for. It's like, I expect more from you as well to trust me and to know. Like, everything that I've done with the show and how groundbreaking it is and what I did with that last episode in season two is nobody's gonna do that. Nobody's gonna do that.

• 24:37Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 24:37Speaker 02

  Like, I can't wait for you to see it.

• 24:38Speaker 05

  You think you've gotten your credit? You think you've gotten your credit for, uh...

• 24:42Speaker 02

  I got it from the people, man. Like, the amount of tickets that I've sold on the road and the people that wanna see it from every background that you could think of, that's, that's what I want. I don't care what anybody else says. I don't care what industry says or anything like that. They, you know, the numbers on the road and the people that have come up to me, no matter where I am on planet Earth, that's, that's my award. That's how I feel like it. And if, there's many, you know, there's things coming up and I hope they do recognize it because it's good for the next future filmmakers and I think it's the right thing to do, just because objectively it's so dope.

• 25:15Speaker 06

  I was telling you, I have not gotten a chance to watch season two. It's been on the road too much. Season one was awesome. Season two, from the people, I hear like unbelievable praise. Unbelievable, like it meant something to people. And I think you, you are kind of the man of this moment, whether you want to be or not. I just think you don't really have a choice and you've risen to the occasion. But I'm just very proud of you as somebody who's known you for like 15 years.

• 25:39Speaker 02

  Thank you, bro. No, it's genuinely like something that I feel like is my life's work, you know?

• 25:43Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 25:44Speaker 02

  It's like a life purpose, like to go into something like this and get this off my chest was not an easy thing. Where first season, I was kind of like, you know, it was pandemic. I was divorced by a year and a half. I was dealing with so many things, but the first Zoom room ever. And I think, you know what I mean? It was like so many different things in the air and people telling you should do this, not do that. And you feel confident in a particular storyline, they start picking at it enough where you start losing confidence, like fuck. And when it to the second season, we're like, nobody's touching. I'm me, these are the guys. I love y'all. You come with me? If you don't, I can't, I can't have this like doubt shit, you know? I can't have, uh, uh, you gotta trust in yourself completely. And I did that to the fullest extent and nobody really meddled in what I had and the vision that I had.

• 26:28Speaker 02

  And it was just, to me, it was like a perfect piece of art.

• 26:31Speaker 06

  You're, you're single now, right?

• 26:33Speaker 02

  No, I'm married, I have a baby.

• 26:34Speaker 06

  Again?

• 26:35Speaker 02

  What do you mean?

• 26:36Speaker 06

  You said you got divorced.

• 26:37Speaker 02

  I had divorced in the first season one, that's four years ago, five years ago.

• 26:41Speaker 06

  Oh shit.

• 26:41Speaker 02

  Six years ago.

• 26:42Speaker 06

  I know you got the baby, well, I'm sorry, I don't want to put it out there. Congratulations, that's amazing.

• 26:45Speaker 02

  No, no, no, it was awesome. I don't know, I got remarried. I remarried.

• 26:49Speaker 06

  The girl I met?

• 26:50Speaker 02

  Yeah, you did meet her, right? Yeah, yeah.

• 26:52Speaker 06

  Let me ask a question. Did you come back home? Did you, did you come back home?

• 26:56Speaker 02

  What do you mean?

• 26:57Speaker 06

  Come on. Brown girl?

• 26:59Speaker 02

  Oh, she's brown, yes. I've always been brown.

• 27:02Speaker 06

  What type of brown?

• 27:03Speaker 02

  Always been brown.

• 27:04Speaker 06

  What type of brown?

• 27:10Speaker 02

  Portuguese?

• 27:14Speaker 03

  Wait, Portuguese sounds white?

• 27:15Speaker 02

  Portuguese, Spanish?

• 27:16Speaker 03

  So you only went back to Mexico once, huh?

• 27:19Speaker 02

  Three times, three times.

• 27:20Speaker 03

  Hold on, hold on now, hold on.

• 27:21Speaker 02

  Here's the thing, here's the thing. We've known each other since eighth grade.

• 27:25Speaker 03

  They got you, huh?

• 27:25Speaker 02

  And we know.

• 27:26Speaker 03

  Them white girls, bro.

• 27:27Speaker 02

  No, no, no, she's not white.

• 27:28Speaker 03

  What is she?

• 27:29Speaker 02

  Portuguese, she's so.

• 27:30Speaker 03

  That's you.

• 27:31Speaker 02

  She's fatigued, bro.

• 27:32Speaker 03

  Spanish and Portuguese, that's white. That's your opinion.

• 27:36Speaker 02

  No, she's not. Yeah, I know, but she's not, bro. North African influence like crazy, come on.

• 27:40Speaker 03

  Now, don't even try. It's true. It's the moors, it's the moors came in. No, no, no, shit, no, no. That's true, though. What do you mean, delete history? Yeah, listen, listen.

• 27:51Speaker 03

  Oh, did you revert her?

• 27:54Speaker 02

  No, she converted herself.

• 27:55Speaker 03

  Oh, really? With no influence from you?

• 27:57Speaker 02

  Zero, yeah, zero.

• 27:58Speaker 03

  Get out of here.

• 27:58Speaker 06

  He said it was the first time, too, to be honest.

• 28:02Speaker 02

  No, zero, it's for real.

• 28:03Speaker 03

  Really?

• 28:03Speaker 02

  She was pregnant with our son, and it was like, she was about three, four months pregnant, and she just woke up like, just crying, and just like, very, just like, just, she just wanted to do it from her heart. It was beautiful.

• 28:16Speaker 03

  Wow. And then, what do you, what is your reaction to that?

• 28:20Speaker 06

  Got him.

• 28:20Speaker 02

  Are you sure?

• 28:21Speaker 03

  Got him.

• 28:22Speaker 02

  No, you have to like, I genuinely like, don't like to press about these things, and I think it's, uh, it's, it's my responsibility is like, to surround the family with like, good vibes, good spirits, and things like that, and, and, uh, and that was like, came from her, and I just wanted her to be sure a hundred percent, like, I don't want this to come from like, I gotta do it because, you know, no, it's gotta, you gotta feel it in your heart, and it has to come, and the rest is between you and God and divine.

• 28:49Speaker 03

  So now she's on board?

• 28:50Speaker 02

  She's on board, yeah, she's amazing.

• 28:52Speaker 03

  But, but.

• 28:52Speaker 02

  And I've noticed since eighth grade, and all these years went by, and we rekindled, we never dated like, back then.

• 28:58Speaker 03

  Long game, long game.

• 28:59Speaker 02

  A long game, super trust, my mom met her like, five minutes later, my mom gave her a ring, I was like, what are you doing?

• 29:04Speaker 03

  Whoa!

• 29:04Speaker 02

  Yeah, she was like, she's so dope, bro.

• 29:07Speaker 03

  She like white girls too, huh?

• 29:10Speaker 02

  Bro, you're the worst.

• 29:13Speaker 03

  Top five worst all time.

• 29:16Speaker 03

  Don't downgrade me. You didn't give me the fucking top spot or nothing.

• 29:20Speaker 02

  There's a lot of worse. There's a lot worse. He's just still in the top five. Everybody has top five. Is she schooling you on stuff now?

• 29:27Speaker 03

  That's what I'm saying, like, does it put more pressure on you to be 100% like committed? Like, you gotta be, is she about it?

• 29:34Speaker 02

  Cause there's no religious person like a convert, you know?

• 29:37Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 29:38Speaker 02

  Yeah, there's, there's like extreme examples of people who convert and things like that. It hasn't been like, it's been a very natural and like smooth thing, you know? My whole thing is like compulsion and religion is also bad too. So, so I was always taught that. It's like the balance, my ways, the middle ways, what the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam used to say. It's like my ways, the middle ways. So you always have to be balanced in everything that you do. Can't be too extreme in everything that you do. But she's not just like pulling out Hadiths out of nowhere and you're like, oh shit. I'm shocked that you're pulling out Hadiths right now.

• 30:05Speaker 06

  Can I tell you something that I love? Mark has been trying to relate to you all the time. And every time you're like, shut the fuck up. Like, I love, I truly love it. It's a fucking, it's a late thing.

• 30:15Speaker 03

  Y'all better enjoy this when white people are on board. Enjoy it. It's gonna last long.

• 30:20Speaker 02

  No, it could be Syrian, we don't even know. I might take Shahada after this, bro, who knows?

• 30:23Speaker 03

  He's trying, repeat after me.

• 30:25Speaker 02

  No, no, no, not yet, not yet. It's not that big a deal, bro, just cleanse your heart, bro.

• 30:29Speaker 03

  Do it! Don't talk about it, be about it.

• 30:33Speaker 02

  It's compulsion, bro, it's compulsion.

• 30:34Speaker 03

  Do it!

• 30:37Speaker 02

  It's okay, you wanna go to hell, it's not a big deal. But you can, you can get me out though, you can get me out.

• 30:42Speaker 03

  You can get him out.

• 30:43Speaker 02

  That's not it, that's not it at all.

• 30:44Speaker 03

  How do you get him out?

• 30:45Speaker 02

  Matter of fact, the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, I hope to see half of my Ummah in heaven. Who's the other half?

• 30:50Speaker 06

  Oh.

• 30:51Speaker 03

  Who is the other half?

• 30:52Speaker 02

  Exactly. Everybody else. That's your boy right here.

• 30:55Speaker 03

  You said half of my Ummah?

• 30:55Speaker 02

  Half of my Ummah, which means the Muslim world.

• 30:58Speaker 03

  I was supposed to see half of them there?

• 30:59Speaker 02

  I hope, I hope to see half of my, and correct me if I'm please like...

• 31:02Speaker 06

  So that means just being a Muslim enough to get you in?

• 31:04Speaker 02

  Yes, that means, means like nobody's perfect.

• 31:07Speaker 06

  Which is beautiful.

• 31:08Speaker 02

  Exactly.

• 31:09Speaker 06

  That's fire.

• 31:10Speaker 02

• 31:16Speaker 03

  But you, what do you mean? You don't think you'll go get some pull when you go there?

  I'm gonna be up there, omen in it. And I'm gonna be, I'm gonna go, you gotta look out for my boy Mo. Okay, I know he love the white women, but everybody. That's not true! Bro.

• 31:48Speaker 02

  I love all women, they're good.

• 31:50Speaker 03

  That's what they say when they love white women.

• 31:54Speaker 02

  Well, my wife's gonna really be upset. She's not white, bro.

• 31:57Speaker 03

  She's not white.

• 31:58Speaker 02

  She's not white.

• 31:58Speaker 03

  Hot sauce.

• 31:59Speaker 02

  Very brown.

• 31:59Speaker 03

  White sauce.

• 32:00Speaker 02

  Yeah, alright.

• 32:05Speaker 02

  Why are you saying like it's a bad thing? You're the whitest guy here.

• 32:07Speaker 03

  Well, I think it's a great thing. I'm trying to convert you. I reverted you.

• 32:11Speaker 02

  Oh, I got you, okay.

• 32:12Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 32:13Speaker 02

  I see what's happening now.

• 32:14Speaker 03

  You have Islam and I have, uh, whatever the white one is.

• 32:18Speaker 02

  You don't even know. You have no direction at all.

• 32:20Speaker 03

  Yeah, it's not about that.

• 32:21Speaker 02

  You're just making shit up as you go. That should work.

• 32:23Speaker 03

  Exactly.

• 32:23Speaker 02

  That's really good.

• 32:24Speaker 04

  He's just in the middle.

• 32:25Speaker 03

  Exactly. I'm middling it. I don't believe in compulsion. I don't believe in compulsion.

• 32:29Speaker 02

  Just take from here and take from there. I'm gonna go to India for six months. Talk to him, Akash.

• 32:35Speaker 02

  So, white people do.

• 32:36Speaker 03

  You got me very wrong. I wanna keep this guy out of India. Yeah, no, let me go to India. No, no, no, no, no. Why not? I don't wanna hear that stuff. Why don't I get to go to India? Because you're too, no. Last time we went there, we organized that shit.

• 32:50Speaker 02

  What?

• 32:51Speaker 03

  Built some railroads, you know what I mean? Did a little jewel swap.

• 32:55Speaker 02

  No, partition here.

• 32:57Speaker 03

  That's what you wanna call it, jewel swap swap?

• 32:59Speaker 02

  Pretty sure that was a robbery.

• 33:00Speaker 03

  We'll give you, uh, language or whatever. We'll give you taxes.

• 33:04Speaker 02

  Yeah. Pretty sure that was a robbery.

• 33:07Speaker 03

  Might have been a robbery.

• 33:09Speaker 02

  And spices they don't even fucking use. Oh, this is fantastic.

• 33:14Speaker 02

  But what do we do with these? Air.

• 33:16Speaker 03

  We gotta take back food, because we really perfected food.

• 33:19Speaker 02

  They just fucking, who perfected food?

• 33:21Speaker 03

  Uh, white people.

• 33:22Speaker 02

  That's, get the hell out.

• 33:23Speaker 03

  Italians got it.

• 33:24Speaker 02

  Get the hell out.

• 33:25Speaker 03

  All white people.

• 33:26Speaker 02

  What are Italians got from Arabs?

• 33:28Speaker 03

  What are you talking about?

• 33:30Speaker 02

  Look it up!

• 33:31Speaker 03

  I did, they got, they got from the Chinese.

• 33:33Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 33:34Speaker 03

  They got noodles from the Chinese. Y'all didn't have noodles.

• 33:36Speaker 02

  Alright, alright.

• 33:37Speaker 03

  Maybe they were leaders.

• 33:38Speaker 02

  Alright, we weren't, we're not an ancient tradition either. That's right.

• 33:41Speaker 04

  This is my hot take. I think Christian food's the best food in the world.

• 33:43Speaker 03

  Oh, without a doubt.

• 33:44Speaker 02

  What is Christian food?

• 33:45Speaker 04

  I'm glad you asked. Italian, Mexican, French.

• 33:50Speaker 02

  Portuguese.

• 33:51Speaker 05

  Portuguese. Phenomenal.

• 33:53Speaker 02

  Brazilian Steakhouse.

• 33:54Speaker 05

  Oh my god. Brazilian food is crazy.

• 33:58Speaker 02

  Ah ha.

• 33:58Speaker 05

  Aaron Traders and Settlers significantly and pillin'.

• 34:02Speaker 03

  That's not fucking true.

• 34:03Speaker 05

  Why would you say that?

• 34:05Speaker 03

  What kind of AI is this?

• 34:06Speaker 02

  Aaron Traders and Settlers significantly influenced Italian food, particularly in Sicily, introducing key ingredients and techniques that are now fundamental to Italian cuisine.

• 34:15Speaker 05

  Everybody clocking for Sicilian food. Sicilian food.

• 34:19Speaker 03

  What is that?

• 34:21Speaker 05

  What is that?

• 34:23Speaker 03

  That's sexual. He's pressing herself.

• 34:26Speaker 02

  That's a noodle for you.

• 34:27Speaker 03

  I feel like I gotta get you arrested, bro.

• 34:28Speaker 02

  No, no, it doesn't. I love having him here.

• 34:32Speaker 02

  I love it. Yeah, go sit over here and they should have wiped it.

• 34:36Speaker 03

  Make some room for fuck to tell people where to live, huh?

• 34:40Speaker 02

  Actually, when I became a citizen, I was like,

• 34:42Speaker 03

  Give them a little bit of power. Give them a little bit of power, what do they do?

• 34:46Speaker 02

  That's how I feel when all the Californians were moving to Texas. I was like, go back to where you came from. I was like, oh, what's that?

• 34:53Speaker 02

  But it felt nice.

• 34:54Speaker 03

  Exactly.

• 34:54Speaker 02

  Why not? Yeah, just see.

  Yeah.

• 38:32Speaker 06

  He's got way too much stuff to do.

  We ain't built for it.

• 39:28Speaker 02

  That's a YouTuber, yeah.

• 40:01Speaker 05

  I'm saying I want to go. You're saying that you don't want to go.

• 40:04Speaker 02

  I don't want to go because I know I'm going to get sick. I just don't like being sick on the road.

• 40:07Speaker 06

  You pack a lunch.

• 40:08Speaker 02

  100%. Just pack your own food. 100%. Get a lunchbox. Just take like fucking NASA food packs. Hey, that's a great idea. MREs.

• 40:16Speaker 06

  My wife has a pretty good, she won't eat any cold, like uncooked fruits or vegetables.

  Yeah, can't do it.

• 40:21Speaker 06

  She won't do any dairy.

• 40:23Speaker 02

  Okay, fair.

• 40:25Speaker 06

  Bottle water, obviously.

• 40:26Speaker 02

  Well.

• 40:27Speaker 06

  Those three.

• 40:27Speaker 02

  They glue that shit together too sometimes.

• 40:29Speaker 06

  Yeah, they do.

• 40:31Speaker 05

  They glue what?

• 40:32Speaker 06

  They fill it up with tap water and then glue it shut.

• 40:38Speaker 03

  I wanna go.

• 40:39Speaker 05

  Y'all need white people again.

• 40:40Speaker 03

  I definitely wanna go.

• 40:41Speaker 02

  No, you don't.

• 40:42Speaker 03

  This is why they're in there messing.

• 40:45Speaker 05

  Yes, some bad things happen, of course, but this glue to top. Once you hear a glue to top.

• 40:50Speaker 02

  This is sarcasm, okay?

• 40:53Speaker 02

  I don't want a billion people messaging me on Instagram, please.

• 40:57Speaker 05

  Do you have to deal with that?

• 40:58Speaker 02

  No.

• 40:59Speaker 05

  Okay, listen, guys.

• 41:00Speaker 02

  I don't really look at it.

• 41:00Speaker 05

  From now on, we're only gonna give the right opinions for the rest of the episode. The right opinions for the episode. We shouldn't go back there, and it was fucked up what we did, and you guys should.

• 41:09Speaker 02

  What'd you guys do there?

• 41:10Speaker 06

  Why do you keep saying we? Why do you keep saying we for white people?

• 41:12Speaker 05

  Because I.

• 41:13Speaker 02

  Oh, yes, I got you.

• 41:14Speaker 05

  Yeah, we get to own everything.

• 41:15Speaker 06

  Wait, what?

• 41:16Speaker 02

  That's not the way the fucking goes.

• 41:17Speaker 05

  Wait, how does it go?

• 41:19Speaker 02

  Just, everybody has their own shares, plenty on this earth, and stop stealing. That's how it's supposed to go.

• 41:24Speaker 05

  There's plenty on this earth and stop stealing. I agree with that.

• 41:27Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 41:27Speaker 05

  I agree with that, 100%. What if somebody has oil? And there's not plenty where we're at?

• 41:33Speaker 02

  And then what you do is, you enforce your currency on them, and then, and then you get your peace.

• 41:39Speaker 05

  Let women read, or whatever.

• 41:40Speaker 02

  Oh, that's not it.

• 41:41Speaker 06

  No, democracy, democracy.

• 41:42Speaker 05

  Is that what we really, oh, democracy, sorry. Democracy, Mo. It's democracy, we bring democracy back.

• 41:47Speaker 02

  The Muslim word has regressed dramatically with the invasion and colonialism, 100%. 100%.

• 41:54Speaker 05

  I know, cuz you guys had all the algebra.

• 41:56Speaker 02

  We had the algebra, we let women own businesses, let them progress, they had rights, they still have rights. Yeah, it's very, very different.

• 42:03Speaker 05

  Why do you have to say that? We know that.

• 42:05Speaker 02

  Cuz it's.

• 42:05Speaker 05

  No, you don't.

• 42:06Speaker 03

  Why you do? Because apparently they're like, oh, I can't believe they laughed when I went to Charlotte and ran here.

• 42:12Speaker 05

  But that's not me, Mo.

• 42:13Speaker 02

  Fucking get out of here.

• 42:14Speaker 03

  That was you, I'm sure it was you.

• 42:17Speaker 02

  Fucking.

• 42:17Speaker 03

  I roped in with this.

• 42:19Speaker 02

  Why?

• 42:21Speaker 03

  Can I tell you?

• 42:22Speaker 02

  Talk to me, right?

• 42:23Speaker 03

  I'm trying, bro.

• 42:24Speaker 02

  At least he's trying, saying words like Shahada.

• 42:27Speaker 03

  Alright, what do you want me to?

• 42:28Speaker 02

  This guy's been doing research since 5am.

• 42:30Speaker 03

  Butter chicken. Butter chicken. Butter chicken.

• 42:33Speaker 02

  What the fuck does that have to do with me?

• 42:35Speaker 03

  Are you one of them?

• 42:36Speaker 02

  I'm not Indian, bro.

• 42:37Speaker 03

  Butter chicken, butter chicken.

• 42:38Speaker 02

  Oh my god, butter chicken is delicious.

• 42:40Speaker 03

  Thank you, see? Look at this, this is cultural exchange.

• 42:42Speaker 02

  Yes, it is. I love butter, butter chicken is delicious.

• 42:46Speaker 03

  Okay, now you exchange something back with me.

• 42:47Speaker 02

  I kinda wanna go eat some butter chicken.

• 42:48Speaker 03

  Give me some exchange. Mumbai got some of the best food ever.

• 42:51Speaker 02

  French fries.

• 42:52Speaker 03

  Oh. See what we did?

• 42:54Speaker 02

  Here we did, yes.

• 42:54Speaker 03

  See what we did? Look at that.

• 42:56Speaker 02

  French fries are.

• 42:56Speaker 03

  Unity. French fries are exceptional.

• 42:58Speaker 02

  That's the only white food they can think of.

• 43:01Speaker 03

  Hamburgers? Hamburger. Burritos? Don't laugh. Burritos? Sandwiches, sandwiches. Sandwiches. Paninis. Paninis.

• 43:09Speaker 02

  I don't like how hard you hit that sand on the witch's.

• 43:11Speaker 03

  Sand.

• 43:12Speaker 02

  I didn't let you know.

• 43:14Speaker 03

  I didn't wanna let you know, but I had to let you know. I was trying to entice you, I was flirting. Sand.

• 43:19Speaker 02

  I don't come from the sand region, okay? I might actually.

• 43:22Speaker 03

  No, no, no, no.

• 43:22Speaker 02

  We did overlap at some point.

• 43:24Speaker 03

  Yeah. People were roaming, like you said.

• 43:27Speaker 02

  My brother did a big DNA test, he goes back like thousands of years.

• 43:30Speaker 03

  Oh my god, did he find out he was part small hat?

• 43:33Speaker 02

  No, small hat?

• 43:37Speaker 03

  Did he find out?

• 43:38Speaker 02

  I'm sure we all were at some point before the conversion, yeah.

• 43:41Speaker 03

  Did he take that and just lay that shit on the floor?

• 43:43Speaker 02

  No, no, no, no, no. No, this is very open, like, I'm sure that that's what we were at some point, if you think about beginning of time.

• 43:50Speaker 03

  Mmm.

• 43:50Speaker 02

  I mean, what the fuck?

• 43:51Speaker 03

  What was Adam and Eve? What were they?

• 43:54Speaker 02

  What were they? That's a good question, maybe white people can tell us that.

• 43:56Speaker 03

  Christians. I mean, if we. They were Christians. If we, if we look at.

• 43:59Speaker 02

  They were Muslim, 100%.

• 44:00Speaker 03

  Adam might have been Indian, bro. Adam was. Cause he was made from mud.

• 44:06Speaker 02

  Alright, it's been good, guys. Thank you so much. It's been good. Peace out. Thank you very much. Where's the eggs at? Where's the eggs at?

• 44:16Speaker 03

  That's, that's technically.

• 44:17Speaker 02

  Where does this all lead to?

• 44:19Speaker 03

  Motive clearly.

• 44:20Speaker 02

  I gotta be honest with you, this looks like the front of a mosque right here.

• 44:22Speaker 03

  Oh, that's why we got it like that. That's why we got it like that, 100%. Yeah, there's a detention center right behind it.

• 44:28Speaker 02

  That's so fucked up. Genuinely, what's happening with ICE is really fucking diabolical.

• 44:34Speaker 03

  It is.

• 44:35Speaker 02

  So fucked up.

• 44:36Speaker 03

  I agree.

• 44:36Speaker 02

  So fucked up, and who's gonna finish your roof? It's really fucked up.

• 44:43Speaker 02

  I get the, I get the podcast now, I get it. Yeah, he's in, we got him. No, genuinely, it's really fucked up. I really, really feel terrible for those people. I really, really feel awful for them. It's like, even people who have US citizenship are being picked up. There's no rhyme or reason to the whole thing. It's really fucked, really, really fucked. What you think about them Venezuelan boats? I didn't read much about it recently. Is this the bombing of, uh, is it, you talking about their drug? Yeah, game of Battleship. Yeah, game of Battleship. I don't know what that, I honestly genuinely don't know. I didn't read about it, so. I'll take this serious. I'm not very informed about it, to be honest with you, but it seems kinda, like, yeah, these are fucking drug ships and you just start shooting them down. It's like, does nothing. How do we know they're drug ships? Exactly, that's my point. And what drugs? It's crazy, yeah.

• 45:27Speaker 02

  Also, some drugs, it's a great point, we might wanna let up in here. Yes, they do, very well. They do let all that up in here. I mean, the only reason why they were mad at Escobar, because nobody was getting a piece of that money. All the cash was disappearing. They didn't give a fuck that thousands of murders were occurring in Miami. They were like, wait, wait, wait, where's the cash at? Where's the cash at? That's IRS. But there's so many dead people, yeah, yeah, where's the cash at? So should we let drug dealers pay taxes? I think that's already happening. They probably don't even pay taxes. It's called the pharmaceutical industry. Yeah, exactly. It's like Walgreens, pisses me off. It's like, we don't sell cigarettes, but we have fentanyl in the back, if you like. Talk that shit.

• 46:06Speaker 02

  Oh, we don't, we don't, we'll never sell cigarettes, but we have fentanyl, we have every single addictive drug, synthetic heroin in the back, if you like it. But God forbid you have some nicotine, God forbid.

• 46:14Speaker 06

  I just found out I don't smoke cigarettes and this really bothers me.

• 46:16Speaker 02

  Are you serious?

• 46:17Speaker 06

  Do you smoke?

• 46:18Speaker 02

  Yeah, I smoke. You know I smoke cigarettes? This guy's a smoker.

• 46:20Speaker 06

  Oh, I do remember.

• 46:21Speaker 02

  I'm having a hard time right now. Do you wanna have a smoke? Oh, let's get the medroir, get the medroir. Oh, you don't know about the medroir, man? Oh, you're talking about the, the stick with the little filter? Listen, white guy, let me tell you something about the Middle East, okay? Do you wanna have an actual, real Middle Eastern smoke? What are you talking about? This shit'll put you on your ass, dude. The docha thing? Nah, I'm not smoking that shit. It's too strong?

• 46:40Speaker 03

  No, I smoke real weed, but nobody needs that.

• 46:45Speaker 03

  Tobacco with the wooden pipe in it. Oh, that shit is fire. That's a substitute for weed, that's what that is. Yeah, cuz they can't smoke. Which docha means like being dizzy. God. Or we gotta get the ghat, the Yemeni ghat. You ever tried that before? Kat, kat, kat. I wanna try that. Fuck this white boy. I was like, I have to be a turban.

• 47:06Speaker 03

  Hey, look at me, I know about you, shut the fuck up dude. I hate this. I wanna try it. Every time I ask the guy. I hate that.

• 47:15Speaker 03

  Don't cry about racism all the time, the second a white guy takes it. I'm not taking this take. I'm really like, you looking people.

• 47:23Speaker 03

  But me specifically. The second white people taking interest in your culture, it's like, oh. Nah, I don't, but that's me, I don't need it. I know you don't want it, I know, I'm judging you, I'm judging you. It's not even your culture, it's Yemeni. How do you feel about the pandering? Do you approve of the pandering? It's not pandering, it's taking an interest. I think it's taking an interest in genuinely trying. It's just, it's too, he just keeps doing it. It's not your culture, it's not your culture. Exactly. Stop speaking for me, Indian. Yeah.

• 47:49Speaker 03

  I'm fine, I'm fine. That was too Middle Eastern. That was too Middle Eastern. Get the fuck in the, no, no, no, no. Where's your passport? That shit was too Middle Eastern. I hate this guy. He on a consky. He got, he got, I got your passport in his pocket.

• 48:06Speaker 03

  You not leaving, you not leaving this country until that new. Which Karen, I have nothing to do with this. I'm finishing his roof after this.

• 48:17Speaker 03

  Which, by the way, it's leaking.

• 48:22Speaker 03

  This is a mistake.

• 48:25Speaker 03

  Yo, we're just out here trying to have cultural exchange. No, genuinely, genuinely, it's good. What's your favorite white thing? Ooh, my favorite white thing? Yeah, his wife, man.

  In Jersey, though, all American Italians.

  This is, this is a New York.

• 49:29Speaker 02

  Thank God, it's okay about this, we had, is that what you want? Okay, cool, congratulations.

  Yo, you also agree with him?

• 49:43Speaker 02

  No. No, no, that's what you want. I just wanted to make you feel more comfortable.

• 49:49Speaker 03

  Haven't you been watching those speeches translated? Haven't you been watching?

• 49:53Speaker 02

  No, no, no, I'm not doing this. Which camera do I look at? I have nothing to do with this. Nothing to do with this.

• 50:00Speaker 06

  No, watching speeches like, yeah, that shit is our country.

• 50:04Speaker 02

  No, that's fucked up. I'm not dealing with none of this. This is fucked up.

• 50:09Speaker 03

  Whoa, you walked in the door.

• 50:11Speaker 02

  I know.

• 50:12Speaker 03

  It's a crazy thing, everything's going so good.

  Top, top three white countries.

  Yeah.

• 50:16Speaker 02

  Top three white countries?

  Yeah.

• 50:18Speaker 06

  I, I don't know about country, but London, great white city, even though we taking that bitch over.

• 50:23Speaker 04

  You gotta give that to England.

• 50:23Speaker 06

  They own the buildings, we got the people.

• 50:25Speaker 04

  Yeah, that's true.

• 50:26Speaker 02

  That's true. I do like London a lot.

• 50:28Speaker 04

  Okay, so England's up there?

• 50:29Speaker 02

  Holland is great, Amsterdam in particular is really a fun time. Copenhagen is really a spectacular.

  Oh, Copenhagen, there you go.

  You would like Vienna, yeah.

  Oh, no way.

  It was such, such a great city, man.

  You go to a childhood home.

  Yeah, no.

• 51:36Speaker 05

  What was that? What was that? It was a prayer?

• 51:38Speaker 02

  Yes, you have to like, you know, you had to balance things out.

• 51:40Speaker 05

  Cleanse?

• 51:40Speaker 02

  It's all about being balanced.

• 51:42Speaker 05

  Can you give us a good prayer? Can you give us a good, quick one?

• 51:46Speaker 02

  What do you mean a good prayer? There's many good prayers.

• 51:49Speaker 05

  Yeah, you just give one.

• 51:50Speaker 02

  I mean, a prayer is, a prayer is something within yourself to, between you and God. Like, there's things that I say to myself all the time, like, just praying with God. There's that, you know?

• 52:00Speaker 05

  So that's personal?

• 52:01Speaker 02

  Yeah, it's personal.

• 52:02Speaker 05

  That's fair, that's fair.

• 52:03Speaker 03

  I like brother, ew.

• 52:04Speaker 05

  Yeah, but what about that one?

• 52:06Speaker 03

  Brother, ew.

• 52:07Speaker 02

  What is that?

• 52:08Speaker 03

  Have you seen this?

• 52:09Speaker 02

  No.

• 52:09Speaker 03

  Oh, this is the best dude ever.

• 52:10Speaker 02

  What is this?

• 52:11Speaker 03

  I think he's like, showing his doing.

• 52:12Speaker 05

  Yeah, while you get that up? While you get that up? Let me ask you a question.

• 52:18Speaker 05

  Fast forward, fast.

• 52:20Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 52:21Speaker 02

  Holy shit.

• 52:21Speaker 05

  Listen.

• 52:22Speaker 02

  While you get that up, let me start on something.

• 52:24Speaker 05

  While you get that up, right?

• 52:25Speaker 02

  Yeah, pause.

• 52:26Speaker 05

  Do you watch, uh, do you watch Arab prank videos at all?

• 52:31Speaker 02

  Arab prank videos?

• 52:32Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 52:33Speaker 02

  No.

• 52:33Speaker 03

  Oh, the little dude?

• 52:35Speaker 05

  I can't, it's like, there's certain things that are just so incredible, I can't believe it's not part of your algorithm.

• 52:39Speaker 02

  Oh, that's crazy, yeah, yeah.

• 52:41Speaker 05

  You don't watch this at all?

• 52:42Speaker 02

  No, no.

• 52:44Speaker 03

  Let me try to find this guy.

• 52:45Speaker 02

  Yeah, I know.

• 52:45Speaker 05

  It's...

• 52:46Speaker 02

  I need, it needs to be on my algorithm, I need to switch it up for sure.

• 52:49Speaker 03

  Alright, there's always a little person.

• 52:51Speaker 05

  There's always a little guy, and that's why, what I was gonna ask.

• 52:54Speaker 02

  I'm such a fan of this. This Arab dude, the little Arab guy?

• 52:57Speaker 05

  Well, no, no, not, not, you're thinking of who? Cause that, that guy's...

• 53:01Speaker 02

  No, no, he's not Arab.

• 53:02Speaker 05

  Yeah, this is one of the guys.

• 53:03Speaker 02

  Oh, I've seen this guy, he's awesome, bro. Yeah, they're said, this guy is awesome, bro.

• 53:07Speaker 05

  But there's three of them, they're like a crew.

• 53:09Speaker 03

  I see a video where he's like dancing and shit, he's hilarious.

• 53:11Speaker 02

  I haven't seen this. They always smack this guy, they always...

• 53:13Speaker 05

  I haven't seen this.

• 53:14Speaker 02

  It's such an Arab thing, just smack the back of the neck.

• 53:16Speaker 05

  Yeah. Wait, can I see this?

• 53:18Speaker 02

  Yeah, please.

• 53:19Speaker 05

  I don't know, I don't know this one, but go, go.

• 53:21Speaker 02

  It's not even that hard.

• 53:22Speaker 03

  It's not even a neck.

• 53:23Speaker 02

  Oh, he's about to get rocked.

• 53:29Speaker 03

  Oh my, he's praying to God, bro. He's like, alhamdulillah. He's about to rock.

• 53:39Speaker 02

  But I love the other dudes like, this is a very, this is a very Arab thing like, "Ohhhhh", like, "Alhamdu'Allah", and he's just like swearing to God, like it's about to go down, you know what I mean? It's a thing to it that made me happy, but the rest of it really sucked. "You want this part of my algorithm? Get the fuck out of here." Way better things in my algorithm. This really should be part of your algorithm. Nobody wants to see this.

• 54:03Speaker 04

  No, this guy's awesome. I don't know which part is. Oh yeah, it's at the very top. This is like, I think he's from Australia and New Zealand, but he's in a mom that does these speeches.

• 54:09Speaker 03

  Grow a bead.

• 54:12Speaker 03

  Live simple lives. Ew.

• 54:17Speaker 03

  Brother ew.

• 54:21Speaker 02

  Pause. I can't, I can't. Yeah, we don't know what he's... That's a funny, it's a funny beginning. We don't know what he's erring about, so we're about to get in trouble. Yeah, I don't want to do that. Yeah. I just don't like making fun of religious figures and stuff like that, but I think it's really funny though.

• 54:34Speaker 06

  Oh no, I'm trying to make fun of him.

• 54:36Speaker 02

  No, no, I know, I know, I know, I know.

• 54:37Speaker 06

  I'm trying to...

• 54:37Speaker 02

  The ew brother is hilarious though. Ew, brother, ew. But he knows this went crazy viral. He has to. He knows it, yeah, he knows. He's probably gonna keep doing it like, ew, brother. He's addicted to it now. You gotta go see it. He wants to keep doing it. Yeah, he must be Australian or something like that, I don't know. I couldn't tell from, I didn't hear any, you know, I just heard ew, brother. Ew, brother. You have to watch out for the white woman, ew, brother. Ew, unless she convert to Islam.

• 55:07Speaker 02

  And then you bring them over to us to the path, you know? Is there any pressure? Infiltrate the DNA.

• 55:15Speaker 05

  Alright, gotta take a break, back to the show. What, somebody is Muslim, right? Like, would there be any? Because that is the identity that I imagine supersedes everything. Obviously ethnicity is incredibly important, it's history, it's, you know, you know, food is everything, but... If somebody is Muslim and they are white, or they're black, or they're Asian, or whatever it is, would that matter to certain families?

• 55:35Speaker 02

  It does not matter at all, bro. Like, there is like-

• 55:37Speaker 05

  For marrying, I'm saying, for marrying.

• 55:39Speaker 02

  There is cultural things that do exist, but to Islam itself, if you look up the last, if you look up the last sermon of the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, it'll blow your mind.

• 55:47Speaker 05

  What does he say?

• 55:48Speaker 02

  It'll literally blow your mind. I just don't want to do it any disservice, but essentially is that, you know, the last thing, the big thing in Islam is like, don't misquote thing or mislead people or something. It's very, very important to be clear and concise on things. But one of them is like, you know, basically an Arab doesn't have a right over another Arab, or a white over another white, or a black over another black. It's just like, basically described like-

• 56:08Speaker 05

  Was this a thing that impacted Muhammad Ali?

• 56:10Speaker 02

  Malcolm.

• 56:11Speaker 05

  Oh, sorry, Malcolm. Malcolm, that's right.

• 56:13Speaker 02

  Oh, when he went to Hajj, yeah. When he went to Hajj and he saw everybody wearing the same, you know, same attire, there was no like distinction of who's rich and who's poor, or whatever. Everybody's in the same, and so many colors, like everyone, every walk of life. And this doesn't exist like in Arab culture, like you know, like you just, you know, they're all Arabs. You don't think like, oh, it's a black, this is a very American, westernized thing. It didn't exist in our psyche like that. I mean, it did to a degree because Prophet Muhammad, you know, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam did acknowledge it and say like, very clear parameters, like nobody has a right over anybody else, you know, that's very, very clear. But then after that, it's just like, you're just Arab, bro. You speak Arabic, you just, I don't look at it like, that's a black guy that speaks Arabic, well, that's a white guy that speaks Arabic.

• 56:56Speaker 05

  That's a more western thing.

• 56:57Speaker 02

  Yeah, it's a western thing completely. It's not, it's not within our psyche at all.

• 57:01Speaker 05

  Can you speak about the first time you, you did the Hajj? Is that what you said?

• 57:07Speaker 02

  Yeah, I've never done Hajj, but I've done Umrah.

• 57:09Speaker 05

  What is the difference?

• 57:10Speaker 02

  Umrah is like the shorter version that you could do off, you know, outside of Hajj time. So Hajj happens like three months after, so, you know, so it's been almost three months. It's since we deal with the lunar calendar. So after Ramadan, there'll be like the Eid, and then there's the big Eid, which Eid al-Athha, and that's around the time everybody goes to Hajj.

• 57:30Speaker 05

  So if you go to Mecca, not during that time, it's called Umrah.

• 57:33Speaker 02

  Umrah, yeah, which is a much shorter condensed version.

• 57:36Speaker 05

  But you saw, and you experienced it?

• 57:38Speaker 02

  Yeah, I've done this, yeah, I've done this. After my brother died, I went, I took my, took my family with me. And then I went a second time a few months later, it just happened like four or four months, four or five months later. And then I went on this past trip. I took my son and wife with me.

• 57:54Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 57:54Speaker 02

  It was amazing.

• 57:55Speaker 06

  Yeah, can you?

• 57:56Speaker 02

  It was one of the hardest things I've done on this particular trip. It was just really, really tough with my son and everything. But it's amazing how the kid like knew, like he knew he was in the presence of something.

• 58:06Speaker 06

  Special, yeah.

• 58:07Speaker 02

  Yeah, he just immediately started praising. It was so instinctual. It was so dope because it's a kid. I never taught him like, hey, make sure you do this, do that. He just walked in and like knew. It was so amazing.

• 58:19Speaker 06

  What is so powerful about it? I had a friend who did it and his whole, he just changed his whole life after he came back. Well, the Shami became a comedian. But what is so powerful about it?

• 58:28Speaker 02

  Um, I think from each person is, uh, it'll vary, but from, I'll speak from my own experience is that you know, this is like the center of the world and you know that all the prophets existed and Adem, Saddam, like at some point in time. And you know that there's a tremendous amount of significance of being there and also the presence of everyone there, the, the gathering itself. And then knowing that just it's, it's a spiritual thing. You can't really describe fully, but I have the meaning for it, you know? It's like you get there and it's just like, you just.

• 58:59Speaker 06

  Caught up in the energy.

• 59:00Speaker 02

  Feel it in the core. The energy is just so palpable, you know? And once you do that, once you go through it, and sometimes it's really, really hard, like it was this past trip. And you, you know, there's a lot of things you're not supposed to do, like you can't, you can't go there angry. You can't go there mad. You can't, you can't like kill any like lizard or roach or anything. You can't kill anything. You have to be like super pure and, and in a positive mindset. And you have to wash before you even go into Mecca and, and change the tire and, you know, put on the, put on the, uh, the, um, rum and it has no stitching in it. It's all just like 100% like this cotton covering. Like, you know, you just go in and you're just naked. You just like have nothing

• 59:42Speaker 02

  except you and God and all these people and just having my son there with me and my wife was just really incredible. Uh, experience. It is just so moving. And you're supposed to go from there to Medina and visit the prophet and the prophet's mosque. It's incredible. I can't just, I can't.

• 59:58Speaker 02

  It's very, you have to just like do it to experience it. Even Medina is one of the safest places on earth. According to insurance companies, it's the safest place on earth for women to go. Anywhere on planet earth.

• 1:00:07Speaker 05

  Can you tell me about the first time you went? Like, I imagine, how old were you at that time?

• 1:00:12Speaker 02

  First time I went, it wasn't that long, it was three years ago.

• 1:00:14Speaker 05

  Okay, I imagine your entire life, you'd built up what this experience is gonna be.

• 1:00:19Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:00:20Speaker 05

  The emotions that you would have, you know. What is happening like the day before? What is happening when you show up that day? Like, are you nervous or are you excited?

• 1:00:28Speaker 02

  Are you nervous about even getting back in the US? No.

• 1:00:31Speaker 05

  Well, no, at that point, you're good.

• 1:00:33Speaker 02

  Nothing like that at all.

• 1:00:34Speaker 05

  What about that experience? Compared to what you built it up to be, to what everybody had told you about?

• 1:00:38Speaker 02

  Sure, that's a really good question.

• 1:00:40Speaker 05

  Are you chasing the emotion of it? Or is it overwhelming you? Like, what happens the day you arrive?

• 1:00:45Speaker 02

  Well, for me, again, for me, I was stripped down to zero. You know, I just, my brother had just passed, like, maybe two, 15 days prior. It was a complete out of nowhere, it was the healthiest one, he was a pilot, he was just so, he just, nobody saw it coming, you know? He like texted us, "I'll hit you, I'm charging my phone, I'm at the hospital getting the checkup, my chest, whatever." And then the next call we got that he was dead. So it just like changed my entire world, all of us, you know? So when I went there, I had a different energy completely. I was just like, you know, I'm in this position where I'm like, I don't wanna say like the leader of the family, but I am, like, in a way. And so my mom, everybody depends on me in a way, and I'm just thinking about his kids, his wife, all these things.

• 1:01:27Speaker 02

  And so I wasn't really thinking about like, oh, I was more like, I'm taking my mother for her heart. I'm taking his kids, whoever wants to come with me. Whoever wants to come.

• 1:01:38Speaker 05

  It wasn't about you, it was about them, yeah.

• 1:01:40Speaker 02

  It was about everybody else. And to me, being of service to my mother, it's a big deal. And to be able to push my mom to do the laps, the seven laps, was a big deal. So all that is there, like culminates to the experience, you know, just brings it all together for me. But it was deeply, deeply powerful. And actually, that's why I prayed for my son. Like, I prayed, I didn't know, I said, "God, please," and I don't really say this publicly, but I said, like, you know, uh, God, you know, just thinking about my brother passing, and my sister was sick at the time too, we just found out about her diagnosis. It was just like, if it's good for me, give me a son and a great wife, or, you know, a child and a great wife and a family. If it's not good for me, please don't give it to me. Eight months later, I was, you know, pregnant, expecting a child.

• 1:02:21Speaker 05

  Wow.

• 1:02:23Speaker 02

  Yeah. So it was just that. It was just that, like, being there for the family, but it's like, you gotta be, it's depending on which space you're in. And some people go, and it's like forced, and it's, some people do that, and then you say a lot of them. It's only, only God knows what's in their hearts and what their intentions are. But for me, it was, it was deeply, deeply powerful. Easily one of the greatest things that I've done in my life, taking my mom there after my brother passed. And all this.

• 1:02:45Speaker 05

  When you're there and you're doing the, the laps, is, does somebody tell, I'm, forgive me, I'm ignorant to this, but like, does somebody tell you where you can stand? It, can you go up and be closer to it?

• 1:02:56Speaker 02

  Yeah, you can. You can. You can be as close as you want to, and you can. And there's, you know, there's people that are overwhelmed by it. Ah.

• 1:03:02Speaker 05

  Right. There's a lot of different emotions going on.

• 1:03:04Speaker 02

  There's a lot of different emotions. I'm more of like, I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to like, try to topple. I just think it's very important to just be, uh, as controlled and as balanced as possible and to see it and appreciate it. And if there's room to go, and I don't need to do, I don't feel the need to have to go and touch it and do all this, because I just see so much chaos over there and everyone just kind of, which I don't agree with.

• 1:03:30Speaker 05

  It could disrupt your energy.

• 1:03:31Speaker 02

  And everybody's feeling a certain thing, and you don't know what emotions they're going through. I lost my sister, my brother, this guy could have lost his whole family. I mean, you don't even know what loss, people are going through, what mindset they're at, or what reasons they're doing it for. So you don't, you know, I just try to stay in my own lane and just think, and then just think and pray as possible.

• 1:03:52Speaker 05

  If you're not of the faith, are you allowed to go?

• 1:03:54Speaker 02

  No.

• 1:03:54Speaker 05

  No, you're not. When people go there, are they going there with a prayer in mind, per se? Are they going there to like, maybe seek advice or a message? Like, is it both?

• 1:04:07Speaker 02

  I think it's all of the things together. Like, number one is that you're going there to purify your heart and essentially cleanse yourself. And so there's things that you follow while you're there, things you can say while you're going around, and there's ways to do that. But really, what it boils down to is being as like, internal about us, like, being really from the heart and having your intention with the divine, you know? That's really, really what it's about. It's like you can just keep talking to God while you're walking around. Sure, there's things, there is an actual, you know, things you can say on the way there. While you're going around, there's is like, uh, things you can do a hundred percent in the end, like, you have to be like, your intention and with God and the things that you say, the things that you pray for and ask for.

• 1:04:51Speaker 02

  That's the most important thing. It's like you being like in tune with the divine, you know? And I keep saying like divine and God, it's like the way I was taught, it's like your incomprehension of God is your comprehension of God.

• 1:05:03Speaker 05

  Yeah, acknowledging that you can't possibly comprehend.

• 1:05:06Speaker 02

  Exactly, exactly, exactly. Like you, if you try to describe what God is, your branch should short circuit.

• 1:05:11Speaker 05

  Exactly, yeah, it's too much for you to put together.

• 1:05:13Speaker 02

  Exactly, exactly.

• 1:05:14Speaker 05

  Yeah, it's, um.

• 1:05:17Speaker 02

  It's easily one of the greatest things I've ever done in my life. It was hardest, one of the hardest things. And the first one you do, you do it, you have to do it for yourself.

• 1:05:24Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:05:25Speaker 02

  And then the other times you do it, you can do it on behalf of others. You know, like people who couldn't go, you can make the intention to do that.

• 1:05:32Speaker 05

  Oh, wow.

• 1:05:33Speaker 02

  This was my third time. I made an intention for someone else, you know? And you go and do it on their behalf.

• 1:05:40Speaker 04

  At this point going, people must know you. Like, they must be so familiar with you. Are people stopping you while you're actually?

• 1:05:45Speaker 02

  Sometimes they smile, but this is a very respectful thing, to be honest. I'll get messages after, like, I saw it. I saw you, brother, but I didn't want to interrupt you. It's a very, very sweet thing.

• 1:05:54Speaker 05

  They're also probably hyped too.

• 1:05:56Speaker 02

  They're hyped too, they're in tune, but they see you and then sometimes it breaks that, you know, focus a little bit. But for the most part, it's, everyone is there for a particular purpose and they understand that, so they don't really interrupt that at all. It's very cool. Like, they don't really, really don't. And actually, most of them were just thrilled to see my son. He was the main attraction, you know what I mean? Just seeing this not even two-year-old like go around, it's such a blessed thing. Kids are like, they see this as like, he's like the innocent, the purest one. So he was, he was getting way more attention than I was, you know? And I was praying for him most of the time, praying for him, my wife, and those I've lost before.

• 1:06:30Speaker 05

  Why, why is that place specifically so important? Like, what is the historical significance of it? Is that?

• 1:06:36Speaker 02

  That's the first place of worship.

• 1:06:39Speaker 05

  Ever?

• 1:06:39Speaker 02

  You know, ever, yeah, Abraham, yes, yeah, in all religions, yeah. Abraham, prophet Abraham.

• 1:06:44Speaker 05

  Oh, I didn't know that it went back to Abraham. Oh, wow. Abraham built the Kaaba?

• 1:06:50Speaker 02

  Yes, I believe so.

• 1:06:51Speaker 05

  Oh, wow, so that's the first-

• 1:06:52Speaker 02

  He's gonna fact check me on this, but I'm pretty sure that's exactly what it is, because he's the one who-

• 1:06:56Speaker 05

  So this is the source, this is the first-

• 1:06:57Speaker 02

  He saw the moon, and he saw the oneness of God and the monotheistic belief in religion, and he- The story of Islam is like, he saw these statues, and he broke-

• 1:07:05Speaker 05

  Wow, I've got some goosebumps right there, man.

• 1:07:07Speaker 02

  He broke all the statues, and then he put the hammer around the big statue, and everyone's like, "Oh my God, the big statue", you know, destroyed it. He's like, "What are you talking about? I did it." Like, you know, this is ridiculous.

• 1:07:17Speaker 05

  But it's interesting-

• 1:07:18Speaker 02

  He just kinda broke that whole moon.

• 1:07:19Speaker 05

  Because-

• 1:07:19Speaker 02

  Are you looking at it?

• 1:07:21Speaker 05

  Wow, that's-

• 1:07:23Speaker 05

  So-

• 1:07:23Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:07:24Speaker 05

  Okay, no, Abraham built the first temple, King Solomon built it according to the-

• 1:07:28Speaker 03

  It's supposed to be built by Abraham and Ishmael?

• 1:07:30Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:07:32Speaker 05

  Abraham and Ishmael built that, the temple?

• 1:07:35Speaker 02

  The Kaaba.

• 1:07:35Speaker 03

  Uh, yeah, the Kaaba, according to Islamic texts.

• 1:07:39Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:07:40Speaker 05

  Wow, and then what would the difference be, a Kaaba compared to a temple, compared to a-

• 1:07:45Speaker 02

  It's a place of worship. I mean, it's like, I don't, again, like, it's one of those things that I don't want to misspeak. It's very, very important that I keep it clear, but do your research, do your thing, and I'd love to talk about it more clearly, but this is like, a different setting for that, you know what I mean?

• 1:07:57Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:07:57Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:07:58Speaker 05

  Yeah, wow.

• 1:07:59Speaker 02

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:07:59Speaker 05

  Oh, I didn't know that it went all the way back to-

• 1:08:02Speaker 02

  Oh, yes.

• 1:08:02Speaker 05

  The source.

• 1:08:03Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:08:05Speaker 02

  Yeah, it's been destroyed and rebuilt, and destroyed, rebuilt. There's many, obviously many things that have happened throughout history since then, but it's a extremely, you know, powerful place, for sure.

• 1:08:15Speaker 05

  And, and are, are, like, Christians and Jews, do, do they, do they also revere that place?

• 1:08:22Speaker 02

  Well, Christian and Jews will go to Jerusalem, right?

• 1:08:25Speaker 05

  That's what I've always seen, that like, Jerusalem is-

• 1:08:27Speaker 02

  Jerusalem, so it used to be like, pilgrims would go to Jerusalem until the Prophet Muhammad changed the Kaaba, sorry, the, excuse me, uh, the, the direction of prayer.

• 1:08:36Speaker 05

  I can feel the pressure that you have to get this right.

• 1:08:38Speaker 02

  No, it's really important, really make sure you look out for me on this, but it's really important.

• 1:08:42Speaker 05

  I know it's important to you, and I can feel that.

• 1:08:44Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:08:44Speaker 05

  And there's this part of me that's, that's, I really empathize with that, because I can see how important it is to you, and you don't want to get it wrong.

• 1:08:50Speaker 02

  Yeah, of course not, brother, this is very important, yeah.

• 1:08:52Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:08:53Speaker 02

  But I do know for a fact, it used to pray towards Jerusalem, and then it was changed.

• 1:08:57Speaker 05

  To Mecca.

• 1:08:58Speaker 02

  To Mecca, yeah.

• 1:08:58Speaker 05

  So the prophet, peace be upon him, he says that this is gonna be the new place because it was the original place.

• 1:09:05Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 1:09:06Speaker 05

  And this is where, oh wow, wow, wow.

• 1:09:08Speaker 02

  So it used to be there, yeah.

• 1:09:09Speaker 05

  But Jews and Christians don't. They look at Jerusalem as more.

• 1:09:12Speaker 02

  Yes, they look at Jerusalem, yeah. Jerusalem, they go to Bethlehem and Nazareth. Yeah, exactly.

• 1:09:18Speaker 05

  Oh, wow.

• 1:09:19Speaker 04

  We don't also have the same obligation for like a hajj that Muslims have.

• 1:09:23Speaker 05

  Right.

• 1:09:23Speaker 04

  That there's like an actual specific place to go to.

• 1:09:25Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:09:26Speaker 04

  And I think that there's a connection with Mecca.

• 1:09:28Speaker 02

  They do feel that way, like it is some sort of like pilgrimage to them, but the idea is that, you know, the, the idea is that Christians, and it's a beautiful thing. You know, there's a lot of Palestinian Christians too, like, where do you think it came from? You know what I'm saying? So, so it's like, there's a lot of.

• 1:09:43Speaker 02

  Brown people, you're welcome.

• 1:09:46Speaker 02

  And, and that's where they go. They would go visit Bethlehem, Nazareth, of course, and, and they would tour those lands.

• 1:09:52Speaker 05

  I will say something. When I, I went to Jerusalem.

• 1:09:54Speaker 02

  It's a beautiful thing.

• 1:09:55Speaker 05

  And like, I, again, I obviously never been to Mecca, but like what you were describing in terms of like the intensity of the worship there, like, everybody there is like, it's game time.

• 1:10:05Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:10:05Speaker 05

  This is the thing that I believe, and, and we're talking about everybody, right? This is the thing that matters to me the most, and I love it, and I appreciate it, and I'm in the presence of it right now. And it was, uh, it was quite overwhelming, that feeling.

• 1:10:19Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:10:20Speaker 05

  It was quite overwhelming.

• 1:10:21Speaker 02

  It is.

• 1:10:21Speaker 05

  And someone who did not grow up religious at all, I was like caught up in it in a way that I've never experienced anything else.

• 1:10:27Speaker 02

  It's incredible, man. It's like really a profound feeling that you have, and it's just like the energy. You know, it's a real thing, that many people coming together for this sole purpose of just like, being faithful and their belief in God is just a beautiful thing.

• 1:10:43Speaker 05

  Yeah, this submission to a higher power.

• 1:10:44Speaker 02

  It's so beautiful, man.

• 1:10:46Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:10:46Speaker 02

  It's incredible, it's incredible. And I remember being so torn up because I was visiting my family in the West Bank. And my aunt, you know, she doesn't have the same freedom as I would because I have a US passport. She was just begging for me to put her in the truck, just take me, please.

• 1:11:00Speaker 05

  To go back home?

• 1:11:00Speaker 02

  Put me in the trunk to go to Jerusalem.

• 1:11:02Speaker 05

  Oh, so they could witness it?

• 1:11:03Speaker 02

  They can't go freely. You have to get permits. They're usually denied, like, and they're right there because it is all separated by the apartheid wall.

• 1:11:11Speaker 05

  Oh, and you watch her. Oh, yeah, let me, the Jews are telling you to stop talking.

• 1:11:15Speaker 02

  Oh, okay, cool.

• 1:11:20Speaker 02

  Talking too much. But I take grace. Shut down the mic. But I take grace. So yeah, it's like, it's a very painful thing for me, you know? Because I grew up with these stories from my mother and talking about my grandfather. And those stories of like where, where, you know, there's so many Palestinian Christians. And of course, there's Palestinian Jews and Muslims as the majority. But it was not the life that, that I see today. And what that, what has turned into today is really, really disheartening.

• 1:11:46Speaker 05

  Do you have that thing that uh?

• 1:11:48Speaker 02

  It's called, to say the least, it's my heart is shattered, bro.

• 1:11:50Speaker 05

  Yeah, it's survivor's guilt. Have you heard of that, that term?

• 1:11:54Speaker 02

  So I just, I don't know about survivor's guilt and all this.

• 1:11:57Speaker 05

  It's a term.

• 1:11:58Speaker 02

  I know, I know, I've heard of it.

• 1:11:59Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:12:00Speaker 02

  I think about it as just, it's just like, um, I don't know about survivor's guilt, but I feel like my heart is shattered and I just, you know, you think that it can't get worse and it does and you feel helpless. So the best way that I can contribute in any kind of way, because I do believe in a unifying, rather than like being just like this instigator, there's, there's too many of that going on.

• 1:12:23Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:12:23Speaker 02

  So it's just like really, really important for me to share like really grounded stories from where I come from and what it is. I don't call it survivor's guilt because, you know, I don't, I don't think that's, my parents were just trying to do the right thing and have a future for me. So as they thought coming to Texas was the best thing.

• 1:12:37Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:12:38Speaker 02

  You know what I mean? And it has been, and it has been, and I, and it being huh?

• 1:12:42Speaker 05

  Didn't it?

• 1:12:42Speaker 02

  It was the best thing.

• 1:12:43Speaker 05

  Like, in terms of your impact, like, could your parents ever imagine the impact that you've had on your people's lives?

• 1:12:52Speaker 02

  My mom is blown away.

• 1:12:54Speaker 05

  Could they ever conceptualize that coming to Houston, Texas?

• 1:12:58Speaker 02

  Never.

• 1:12:58Speaker 05

  Could have that type, type of impact?

• 1:13:00Speaker 02

  Never, nobody saw it coming. My father passed when I was 14, so I don't, I know that he would be wildly proud of it, like insanely proud, he would be like, he would be astonished.

• 1:13:08Speaker 05

  Blown away.

• 1:13:09Speaker 02

  Astonished, astonished.

• 1:13:10Speaker 04

  Does your mom tell everybody that you're her son?

• 1:13:12Speaker 02

  My mom doesn't really talk like, she's very, my mom is very protective. She's old school like this, but this is when I knew I was famous, for real, for real. My mom got a WhatsApp video of me and they didn't know they were forwarding it to my mom.

• 1:13:26Speaker 05

  Wow.

• 1:13:26Speaker 02

  You know what I mean? They're like, have you seen this guy? You know what I'm saying? That's when I was like, oh.

• 1:13:31Speaker 05

  Couple times.

• 1:13:31Speaker 02

  I'm like, what's that? I'm fucking WhatsApp famous, bro. What are those views like on WhatsApp? Those WhatsApp immigrant views are fucking crazy.

• 1:13:40Speaker 02

  You hit that, I was like, oh shit, I just made it, bro. I made it for real. If my mom is getting WhatsApp message, have you seen this guy? Incredible. Cause there was a few moments where I, you know, I do showcase the village that we come from in my series and in my second special, Mohammed in Texas, where I go back to our village and it was just such a profound and funny story at the same time. I went to the mosque and I was just like, I was like, oh my God, so my father prayed, my grandfather prayed. It was the first time I ever went there in 2009 when I was allowed to go back. And I, and I get there and I do, you know, a quick little prayer there and I'm thinking and I'm waiting for Melody Prayer to go off. And then this guy goes, hey, it's time for Melody Prayer, do the call to prayer. I was like, no, I'm not doing the call to prayer. He's like, no, no, do the call to prayer. I was like, I don't want to do it. He's like, you have a beard. I was like, what the hell does it matter if I have a beard or not? I don't want to do the call.

• 1:14:25Speaker 02

  It's a lot of pressure to do the call to prayer to the entire village. And they finally force it, he's like, just do it. I was like, okay, I'll do it. You know, it's one of those things. And I get on a mic and I do the call to prayer. I'm just like overwhelmed, I was like, oh my God. And this guy comes right in, right? Who did the call to prayer like this? And everybody sells me out, even my cousin. He was like, this guy. I was like, wait, wait, wait, they made me do the call to prayer. Why? He was like, wait, you did it 10 minutes early. I was like, that's not what the clock says. He goes, that clock is 10 minutes ahead. I was like, bro, that's how the hell am I supposed to do this? Why don't y'all fix the clock? It's a digital clock. I'm sure just a couple of buttons will fix the whole situation. And he was like, wait a second, I know everybody in this village. Who are you? I've never seen you before. I tell him my name. He goes, huh? He goes, who's your father? I tell him what father is. He gets so quiet.

• 1:15:10Speaker 02

  He goes, oh man. He goes, Mustafa. He goes, you know who installed the sound system in here? No way. No way. Crazy. Holy. Lost it. Not in that moment, but I had to walk away and I'm just like, bah. Holy shit. Intense. That is wild. But it became a whole story. My mom found out about it immediately. She called me up, yo, you doing call to prayer 10 minutes early? You know, it was like a whole thing, but they didn't know like how. And I have it all on video, so I put it in like, in my encore in the Mohammed Texas special. It was just so. Then I reenacted it like in a series and episode.

• 1:15:51Speaker 05

  Yeah, I saw that scene, season two, yeah, beautiful.

• 1:15:53Speaker 02

  It was really, really dope, man. So it's just like things like that. I think comedy sincerely has like saved my life. Where being generationally displaced has allowed me to like rekindle all my family across the world.

• 1:16:05Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:16:05Speaker 02

  Being and performing all these different places around the planet has created like this situation for me where I'm like the glue to keep everybody together.

• 1:16:12Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:16:13Speaker 02

  I didn't choose to do it, it just chose me and to be in that uh, position was really been priceless and the fact that I get to share with my son now is just.

• 1:16:22Speaker 05

  Amazing.

• 1:16:24Speaker 02

  Forget about it.

• 1:16:24Speaker 05

  Is there, is there, is there like a, like your relationship with America, right? Like you've had so much success and you've been able to not only create a career that is incredibly uh, successful, but like on your own terms of success. While at the same time, there are things that as America has done around the world has deeply impacted your family.

• 1:16:53Speaker 02

  Sure.

• 1:16:54Speaker 05

  Like, how are you juggling that? You go, is there a part of you that's like? Internally. Yeah, like are you, I imagine there's part of you that's like very angry about it, but then maybe is there a part of you that's like very grateful for some of the things that America provides?

• 1:17:07Speaker 02

  Of course. First of all, I'm American, you know, so it's like that's happened.

• 1:17:12Speaker 02

  First of all, it's really important to note, you know, like I am American, uh, and I am also Palestinian. So it's like those are a balance that needs to happen inside both internally. And what I did was, is like especially after nine 11, like I started stand up in 95. I was a little teenager, bro. I was like little, I was 13 years old. Oh, not even 14 yet. And I was after my father died. I was just like doing stand up in class and all that shit. Fast forward to me doing stand up in the clubs, I realized very quickly like I'm the only one here. There's nobody else, you know? This is the Laugh Spot, it was one of the clubs I started at back then. It's Laugh Stop, Laugh Spot and the Comedy Showcase. And I used to go to these clubs and there was not another Muslim or Arab in sight, you know? And all the white comedians just wanted to be Bill Hicks and Sam Kent.

• 1:17:56Speaker 02

  You know, like that was the whole crews that were there. And I didn't even know who these guys were. I've been in the country like eight years, I don't even know. They were like, you don't know who that, what the fuck's wrong? You know, it was that thing. So I realized that there's a tremendous responsibility there. Also like, oh, I'm the first guy. This is, this is a huge responsibility. It's cool, but also like, you better be fucking good.

• 1:18:16Speaker 02

  And then, and then after nine 11, it did this hard switch. Where I was like, oh, there's even a bigger responsibility now. Because I had got invited to go do shows in, in Germany, Italy and Sicily for US troops. In April of 2001. I was like 19 years old, they give me this, I didn't even have a passport. I had a refugee travel document. I go do these shows. I didn't even know, like, I had to, I went to the German consulate the day I'm flying out. I was like, I need a visa. He's like, what are you stupid? You're supposed to be here way before. He goes, but you're in luck. He goes, the, the, the, the travel document that's issued by the United States is not require a visa to enter Germany. And today, the Schengen law goes into effect that when you fly into a European country, you can fly in domestically everywhere else.

• 1:19:01Speaker 02

  I mean, what are the chances of that? I went, did that whole tour, doing shows with US military, crazy, had a different meaning to it then. Five months later, nine 11 happens, shifts. I was booked to do Japan, Korea, Guam, these military tours there. And then they canceled me. They were like, oh, you know, we're worried about your safety. I was like, my safety? Nobody, nothing's gonna happen to me. I believed in it. I was like, oh. It was really a moment where I was scared to be myself. And I thought like the best approach is to go do these shows. I could be myself in front of them, I could be myself in front of anybody. And it was really, and I ended up doing it. They loved me so much. They brought me back three years in a row. And I was able to connect with so many soldiers there and realize very quickly, like,

• 1:19:44Speaker 02

  America occupies the entire planet, you know? And once I started realizing this, and then I got invited to go to Kuwait and Iraq, the very place that I was, you know, that I fled from. Couldn't turn that down. I was like, I gotta go do this. This was before I even was a citizen. So I had to like mislead the immigration officer to get into the country. I just spoke perfectly English. Like, oh, well, I don't know. We're doing shows for US groups here and this and that. And I end up at Saddam Hussein's palace, which was converted into a hotel. And it's just like, you know, experiencing that, being able to, to, to resolve everything that's going on in my heart and communicate with all these soldiers on such a human level

• 1:20:27Speaker 02

  and realizing that these guys didn't even want to be there and realize they were also misled in such a significant way is, you know, somehow made me feel more at ease about it. And I was doing shows, but there was like all these US soldiers here and then there was like Iraqi soldiers up there. I was flipping into Arabic. Those guys were laughing. I would come back to English. Those guys were laughing. But then Americans are like, yo, would we trust this guy? And I start talking shit about them with the Arabic and they start laughing. And I start talking shit. It was so, nobody's done this. Nobody's ever gonna do this again. It's not, not possible. Never gonna happen. And this is when I realized like, oh, there was a big play here. It wasn't really Saddam Hussein. It wasn't really all this. It was about like American domination in the region.

• 1:21:09Speaker 02

  It just made me, it just settled things down a lot better for me and just like, and that's the way I kind of balance things out. It's like I hit them head on.

• 1:21:18Speaker 06

  How does that settle things for you? Because in my mind, that would make me feel a little bit more like, oh, fuck, we're at this.

• 1:21:23Speaker 02

  No, because you understand, like, when you're mad, you don't understand it. And then when you're upset about something, it's because you don't fully grasp, you don't fully grasp what happened. But when you do understand it, it becomes more logical and you, and it just helps you like heal, you know? It creates this thing. And I also got to go back to Kuwait. I saw my aunt. For like 20 years, she was like another mom to me. It was wild. So they're supposed to escort me back to the plane. Me and other comedian, that's the protocol. And this is in 2009 and they go, they go, no, no, we have to take you to the plane. I was like, come on, man, just like, you know, just go ahead. I booked my flight three days later so I can hang out with my family that I haven't seen in that long. And then he gets a call. He's like, ah, sorry, I have to, I have to go back to, I mean, I got this call out of the suburban.

• 1:22:08Speaker 02

  He goes in the call, and he runs back to us. He's like, I'm so sorry. You guys are gonna have to walk yourselves to the plane. Bradley Cooper just landed from Afghanistan. I was like, thank you, Bradley Cooper. I was like, tell him I said thank you. He was like, what? I was like, he'll get it later. It was him and Dax Shepard actually on their tour. And I figured out Dax was on it when I did his podcast. He was like nuts. And yeah, he was just fresh off of Hangover, I think, and that whole tour.

• 1:22:34Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:22:34Speaker 02

  So he flipped out and then I got to spend like three days.

• 1:22:36Speaker 05

  Incredible.

• 1:22:37Speaker 02

  With my family that I haven't seen all that long, go to the house that we fled from. And it was just, that's the way I dealt with it is just like going there, seeing it with my own eyes. And just, um, and just healing that way. That's what's really helped me throughout that whole process.

• 1:22:52Speaker 05

  Wow.

• 1:22:53Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:22:53Speaker 05

  Crazy, man.

• 1:22:54Speaker 02

  Yes, it's just like I skipped so much. But yeah.

• 1:22:58Speaker 05

  I mean, yeah, it's, this is not the last time you're gonna be on here.

• 1:23:02Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's so many stories, bro.

• 1:23:04Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:23:05Speaker 02

  There's so many stories.

• 1:23:06Speaker 05

  Now, there is something that we wanted to do with you before we left because we know that you're a connoisseur of hummus. So we have a little hummus taste test.

• 1:23:14Speaker 02

  No, you don't. I already hate it. Sucks, throw it away. Who fucking made this?

• 1:23:21Speaker 05

  We have.

• 1:23:22Speaker 02

  Sal!

• 1:23:24Speaker 05

  We have a little hummus. Joey, can you bring in the hummus, please? Thank you so much. So we have a little hummus taste test for you. And, uh, you know, once we will go through that.

• 1:23:32Speaker 04

  Yeah. Well, in your opinion, where's the best, where's the best hummus from? Like where can you find the best hummus?

• 1:23:36Speaker 06

  Is there a good hummus in New York City? Hummus.

• 1:23:37Speaker 02

  Yeah. First of all, how you're pronouncing it really hurts. I said hummus. Thank you so much. He said hummus, which I expected more from you Akash. Wait, how do you pronounce it? It's hummus. It's a ha. Hummus. Hummus. I can't do it. It's hummus. Hummus. Not hummus. I don't know why you sound like Pee Wee Herman. Hummus. That's how y'all sound, uh. No, hummus, hummus, ha. Ha, ha, hummus. Nah, not that, ha. Hummus. I did this with the, I did this with the Hanieth. It's just, you could just say hummus, hummus, fine. Hummus. Yeah, that's better. But you're adding more of a to it. No, I'm not. Hummus. That's better. Say it the white way. It's perfect. Hummus. Yeah, hummus. It's a white word. Hey, hummus. No, it's not a white word. It is a white word.

• 1:24:21Speaker 02

  It definitely means chickpeas in Arabic, hummus. No, hummus. That's what hummus. Chole, that's what we call it. What is it? Chole. Chole. First of all, this is all sacrilegious. Why? Why? You don't have hummus in Tupperware? Cause it's just, no, not the Tupperware part. It's the fact there's no garnish on it whatsoever. You guys are monsters. Absolute fucking monsters. You should be all disgusted with yourselves. And there's no olive oil on it, which makes you fucking disgusting. Also, why don't you give me some goddamn carrots? Is there good hummus in New York City? We got some pita. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so this is number one. First of all, that looks terrible. Okay, okay. It's all chunky and just, it's not supposed to, what is this, peanut butter with fucking nuts? This is better. Number two. Whoever made this deserves to be whipped seventeen lashes, for sure.

• 1:25:06Speaker 02

  Okay. Whoever thinks this is appropriate is just disgusting. And there's no stach for Allah. You shouldn't say this about food, cause it's food, so. God forgive me, so it's really beautiful. Okay. Each one looks worse than the other. Okay. What is this? I feel like I'm in India.

• 1:25:22Speaker 02

  What is this? I made this with my feet, to be honest with you. It's probably gonna taste the best. Thank you, I appreciate it. You're welcome. All right, all right, here we go. All right. What am I supposed to be figuring out? Which one's worse than the other? Just which one is the best? Oh my god. Or yeah. Are y'all tricking me? There's no trick to this. There's no tricks in this? Did Masad set this up?

• 1:25:44Speaker 02

  Listen to me. It was beepers now, it's on. Oh man, beepers are not funny. Okay. Let me get, let me get in this, yeah. Start.

• 1:25:52Speaker 02

  Yeah, it's so terrible.

• 1:25:53Speaker 05

  Okay, that's terrible. Number one is terrible.

• 1:25:56Speaker 02

  It's so much garlic.

• 1:25:57Speaker 05

  Okay, too garlicky? Okay.

• 1:25:59Speaker 02

  Oh. Is that what I'm doing?

• 1:26:01Speaker 05

  We have to look afterwards. We have to see afterwards. I'll try.

• 1:26:04Speaker 02

  Oh my god.

• 1:26:05Speaker 05

  You're saying this is too garlicky?

• 1:26:06Speaker 02

  Not bad.

• 1:26:06Speaker 05

  But is this, is this, um, what about texture wise and what about?

• 1:26:10Speaker 02

  It's okay. Let me just give one more rip.

• 1:26:14Speaker 02

  We're converting them. It's very pasty, you know?

• 1:26:17Speaker 05

  You prefer what?

• 1:26:18Speaker 02

  It's supposed to be like a creamy sauce. It's actually too, it shouldn't be like glue. It's kind of gluey.

• 1:26:25Speaker 05

  Got it, okay.

• 1:26:26Speaker 02

  This one has the most hope.

• 1:26:27Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 1:26:28Speaker 02

  Of all these.

• 1:26:29Speaker 05

  Okay, let's go, let's go, let's go.

• 1:26:30Speaker 02

  Alright, I'm trying, relax. Yeah, see? See how this is moving around for you?

• 1:26:36Speaker 05

  I love this.

• 1:26:36Speaker 02

  Where this one, look at this. This is good, so you could just tell from how it's moving.

• 1:26:41Speaker 05

  So we like the texture here?

• 1:26:42Speaker 02

  Uh huh.

• 1:26:42Speaker 05

  Okay. Okay.

• 1:26:45Speaker 02

  Yeah, I'm right.

• 1:26:46Speaker 05

  That one's good?

• 1:26:47Speaker 02

  No. Yeah, I don't know. Somebody poured fucking cumin on this. So much cumin on this goddamn thing.

• 1:26:53Speaker 06

  Can you give me a pedale?

• 1:26:55Speaker 02

  You can't even taste it?

• 1:26:56Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 1:26:56Speaker 02

  Oh, it's just like flooding.

• 1:26:58Speaker 05

  Number three?

• 1:26:59Speaker 02

  Oh, so much cumin. This is for someone who is worried about gas.

• 1:27:03Speaker 05

  Can I ask you a question? I noticed you take very little, uh, bread.

• 1:27:07Speaker 02

  Yeah, because these are terrible.

• 1:27:10Speaker 05

  Okay, okay.

• 1:27:10Speaker 02

  It's not because I want to.

• 1:27:12Speaker 05

  Fair enough. You're doing this as a duty.

• 1:27:13Speaker 02

  I'm also trying to watch my bread intake.

• 1:27:15Speaker 05

  Alright, fair enough, fair enough.

• 1:27:16Speaker 02

  I have this whole thing.

• 1:27:16Speaker 05

  We would have had some carrots.

• 1:27:18Speaker 02

  Alright. Oh, what's that? That's fucking horrible. Horrible. What'd you guys put in this? Hold on.

• 1:27:26Speaker 02

  Is there tea in this? I swear to god.

• 1:27:29Speaker 06

  That might be the one Indians make.

• 1:27:31Speaker 02

  No, no, hold on.

• 1:27:33Speaker 05

  I don't like that one. That one I don't like.

• 1:27:35Speaker 02

  That one's not even, I don't know.

• 1:27:37Speaker 05

  Alright, what about this one?

• 1:27:38Speaker 02

  That's not real.

• 1:27:41Speaker 02

  Somebody was in a rush when they made that.

• 1:27:44Speaker 06

  Yeah, I like this one.

• 1:27:46Speaker 02

  These two are the best ones so far. Yeah, it's the best one. That's, that's quality? I don't know what quality, but it's the best one.

• 1:27:52Speaker 05

  That's the best of these?

• 1:27:53Speaker 02

  Let me see.

• 1:27:54Speaker 05

  Now, double, double check.

• 1:27:55Speaker 02

  Alright, here we go.

• 1:27:56Speaker 05

  Okay, so that's.

• 1:27:57Speaker 02

  That's one.

• 1:27:58Speaker 05

  Okay, number four, you're going with number four. What is number three?

• 1:28:02Speaker 02

  Hold on.

• 1:28:02Speaker 05

  That's right. This is number one for you. That was number two.

• 1:28:05Speaker 02

  Hmm.

• 1:28:05Speaker 05

  Three, four.

• 1:28:06Speaker 02

  Yeah, that's right.

• 1:28:08Speaker 05

  Let's look at number four. Number four is Sabra.

• 1:28:23Speaker 03

  I'm joking, we're joking.

• 1:28:27Speaker 05

  We wrote Sabra, not everyone.

• 1:28:32Speaker 03

  That's how it works. I just did that for the cut.

• 1:28:37Speaker 05

  Okay, what is, what is number four?

• 1:28:40Speaker 05

  Okay. Ooh, number four is Salma, Mediterranean Lebanese restaurant in the East Village.

• 1:28:46Speaker 03

  There you go.

• 1:28:47Speaker 05

  Uh, number one is Sabra. Number two is, uh, Cedars. It's a Lebanese place.

• 1:28:53Speaker 03

  That's why, yep.

• 1:28:54Speaker 05

  So this is...

• 1:28:55Speaker 03

  So you picked the two Lebanese as one too?

• 1:28:57Speaker 05

  And then number three is Ithaca. That's the worst one we all agreed.

• 1:29:02Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:29:02Speaker 05

  That's an American one.

• 1:29:03Speaker 03

  Yeah, of course it is.

• 1:29:04Speaker 05

  So I'll be, I gotta give you credit.

• 1:29:05Speaker 03

  They put like fucking green tea in this or some shit.

• 1:29:08Speaker 05

  You did go...

• 1:29:09Speaker 03

  Wow, that's...

• 1:29:10Speaker 05

  You did go one, two, three, four.

• 1:29:13Speaker 03

  Yeah. Wow.

• 1:29:14Speaker 05

  My man.

• 1:29:15Speaker 03

  Yeah, you thought it was a joke?

• 1:29:18Speaker 03

  You think I do these for the clicks? I do this for my history, my lineage, my culture.

• 1:29:23Speaker 05
