five and a half years in a Jewish kindergarten. We
didn't learn to read. We couldn't read, but we learned Latin,
Italian centered Italian, Sicilian, French, Greek, but not English. And

going back to go to New York. So I didn't
learn English. I couldn't speak well. My mom spoke to
me in Hebrew and Yiddish. My dad spoke to me
in Italian. We go to New York and by the way,

Speaker 4 (05:07):
Oh my lord, this is a sitcom in the making.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Okay, close with Akash sing I mentioned it, but I
went into the ether. He is a cohort of Andrew Schultz.
Oh yes, and I never liked them on Andrew Schultz
Shilp because he's just he's a quiet man, you know, yeah,
and he just tries to get by on We Love
(05:31):
You India. But some Indians try to pretend to black.
They didn't have the black experience. You came here on
an h one visa, Okay, you didn't come.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
To be fair to him, I think he grew up
in a black neighborhood, didn't he. Yeah, but he so
like he comes by it honest.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
He's not a descendative of slaves, of course not.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
But I mean, I think he comes by it honestly.
He's not trying to larp as a black person.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
But you know there's a guy who got banned. He
was Indian.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
He was telling black chokes, and black people were saying,
you can't tell black chokes. You're brown, you're not black.
And he might be black if you're a Sri Lankan,
but you're not African American, so you can't. You don't
have our experience. But he redeemed himself because I saw
his special. I think it's on YouTube or Netflix, a
cacine and he's got kids now. His wife is gorgeous
Indian lady. And he said, you know, they used to
(06:19):
be called jokes, and now you call him dad chokes,
dad jokes. They're good jokes. They're old. And I have
a body. I don't have a dad body. I have
a body. Oh you're a dad, you got a dad fight.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
No.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
I got this way from drinking myself to death because
of you. Kid. He's actually very good, good. Well.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
When he saw on Andrew Schultze's show, I think Andrew
Schultz kind of rains some in or something.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Yeah, and he kind of dominates the room. Andrew Schaltz right,
and I just I've watched him. So I don't watch
their show very often because I just find it's not
really I don't know, it doesn't really appeal to me
because Andrew Andrews dominates the conversation sometimes and it's just
kind of like, yeah, man, I don't know. He doesn't
strike me as the sharpest, the sharpest needle in the pack,
(07:06):
you know what I mean? Sometimes I get that impression.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Did you ever see the episode where Andrew Schultz laughs
out of his own jokes? No, okay, we'll close with this.
I did what you told me not to do. Well,
I'm drinking tea by myself over here at the office.
I was watching some more cop videos. No, no, always
a good idea, but the material keeps coming. It's like,
(07:29):
when you're gonna stop talking about com videos when they
stop making them? Will they only make them because of
the injustice and everything?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
I know?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Just get the cops to stop and I'll stop talking
about it. Mark.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
I want to know when are you going to get
your body cam? Because I'm sure you could make a
bunch of those right now.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
And half of it would be arable.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
And so I saw one on a cop corruption video
and they stop a black guy. I take high potension medicine,
and this guy turned out to have also high blood pushure.
White cops stopped him, and he goes, do the kisser?
Speaker 3 (08:00):
You know? Fine?
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Where are you going? I'm out of medicine. I need
to get my medicine for hy pretension. Where do you
go so fast? I was going to speed limit, but
I'm in a hurry. You look like you don't actually
want to be here.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Talking to me. Yeah, I don't. I don't. Why is
so nervous, sir?
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Because I've seen black man versus cop videos and they
don't turn out well for the black man. But why
I haven't done anything.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
To you yet. Why so nervous?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Because you're asking me why I'm nervous, now I'm getting
more nervous. Why do I look nervous? He goes, why
are you so nervous? I don't know how this is
going to end. The black guy goes, I'm actually filming this.
He goes, I also have a headcam. I'm also filming this,
and he goes, but mine's not going to be erased.
I present that, sir. You seem very nervous. What are
(08:53):
you hiding he goes my skin.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Because I'm black, Black and Black Way are so nervous
with the white coppy. Why you're so nervous? Why?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
And in a tape one, I don't know why? Why
would I be? It's like you're a jew in a
in a shower and Germany. Why keep sniffing the air?
Why keep looking at the ceiling? Because I know history
Way so nervous. I wasn't gonna I wasn't gonna make
it step on the car, but now you're very nervous.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Well, if you may meet step out of the car.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Were more nervous exactly, Well, you're more nervous now. I
definitely get a pat two down. Now, I'm gonna take
it domesticated wolf. I'm gonna let him walk around your car.
