 Welcome back Thank you. This is it's good to see you guys You know you you get a very special distinction by Being a repeat offender coming back to the channel a second time Really? There's nobody else come back not yet Would they after their first experience why would anybody come back? Well just to promote stuff you guys You have a new stand-up special But it's I believe the one we I saw last time but now it's on Netflix correct Yeah, it's it's kind of crazy But it was a charity special that I put up and it was it was a compilation of all the sort of Charity shows that I've done to fundraise during the pandemic and then it's basically a home video I mean if you look at it, it's that's it's a vlog Like a one I filmed an existential crisis and we put it up on my website and It went really really well and then Netflix called and they were like we know you have the ones that you have But do you mind if this winds up on Netflix? So, you know, I like to think of it as you know when you rescue a dog It has like a foster home and then a forever home Like I feel like my website was the foster home. We got we got it healthy We raise some money with it's in good and then like Netflix is the forever home And now just lives on that is this is it is it any different than the one that I saw On on your site, or did they just kind of did they add anything more to it? We we mixed it really I mean like I said, this is legit a special that shot on like one camera, right? So I and I'm not even wearing a mic. I'm using like the inbuilt mic. Yeah camera It's it's like Netflix was like can you send it to us and I'm like I can email it to you from Okay, maybe maybe we'll color correct it a little bit So can you do that so we did that And then I got some better original music put underneath the special just kind of scored it better But no, it's the same thing. You know, it's the same people in telling their story Excellent And you've been getting a lot of I saw like on your Instagram And I'm sure you've been getting private DMs and other things of people in the midst of lockdown and COVID Who have really appreciated not just this but have just been appreciating you and you bringing Laughter to people in the midst of what's been a really hard year. Yes Yeah, and this is specially like that, you know, this isn't a comedy special comedy special And I think we all know that going into this, you know, it's something else and it's something like I like to think of it as As a moment in time, you know, and the reason that I did it is because it's this global moment in time and so when you When you put people's vulnerability out there That's what you get in the DMs So in this special as opposed, you know, like with Vitas for India for losing it Everybody was like, go check this special out or badass or lid af or whatever, you know And that goes out on their stories. This is just a lot of DM saying man I was feeling low or you know, my family had COVID or you know, my mental health wasn't in a good place So it's a lot more engagement a lot more communication. Just thousands of people messaging saying they feel better today Yeah, and when I watched it one it was it was very funny But it was also especially towards the end very very touching and and heartfelt and I read a lot of comments After I watched it that said they they'd started to cry At the end of it because it was it was I mean look, you know, I feel like there's these two ways to do it, right? We can kind of end this year being like Fuck 2020 or whatever, you know, and and that's one way to go But the other way to go is, you know, because at the end of the day at the end of each day We were searching for some sort of silver lining and I did find that At the end of this special. So yeah, I just try to be honest, you know With people about what it was and that seems to have struck a chord and then I think the end credits where People catch up with everybody who you met because you did get invested in their stories unlike The first three specials where I was the star of the show This one really people at the start of the show, you know, I've kind of put them from in the center My audience. So I think when you invest in those stories, it's nice to see how they how they want. Yeah, yeah And everybody can see this right now, correct? Came out a day and a half ago on Netflix and it's Yeah, I've really thought I was done with this special I'm very honest. I've given all the interviews and I've done everything and I was like it raised the money The charity's got the money even the taxation was done I Was really done with this special and then Netflix called and I think like This special came out in mid-August and then like mid-September Netflix called and they were like we want it So make it happen. Yeah, and you've done so many now And I'm sure you're happy to actually be doing shows again But it must be different because you've done I believe now drive-in shows obviously the virtual shows Is is is it any how is it different or is it very much especially with the drive-in ones? I Think I'm in a And I don't say this from a place of arrogance But the Netflix specials are done and you know, I think now it's time to wait a bit before you Before you do one more and kind of let life happen And you know inputs so that you can have some some output What I'm happy to have achieved with it is nobody likes seeing a comedian just doing four specials and then One is up and one is down. You know what I mean, but every special is just a guy doing jokes But in a different suit and in a different city, you know And sometimes those can can get worse and worse or better and better at least with this You cannot compare one special to the last special a drastic, right? So abroad understanding was stadium club into cut losing it was a straight-up stand-up like club ish special For India was a piece of theater and you know, it was a tribute to history And then this one is just a crowd-work special, right? Yeah, so I think now There's very little left to like Crews special wives, you know And so and also there's no fucking money to be made in the pandemic at this point I'm performing for like 40 people outdoors. Yeah, I feel free I feel the most free that I've ever felt as an artist like I really could care less because What are you gonna do shut down my forest? What's gonna happen so right I think in the in the clips I've been putting up from my outdoor shows I think that shows a little bit, but I'm just like let me mess with this now You know, let me change it up a little bit and mix it up and see what happens Yeah, which aside from the other things we love about you as a comic, which is you're you know, just your honesty You're being raw. I love the last one we watched of you how you are so I'm afraid to just go out have your notes next to you and make sure you're just doing what you're doing and everybody knows you're fleshing out some things that you've been writing and and that's The artistry of comedy that you're letting people see you do like you you don't mind letting people see you as a work in progress Whereas a lot of other comedians they'll only let that happen as they're working their material out And then they'll make it public when it's polished. You know what I mean? I Think so. I mean it depends on what you want from it, right? For me, I think my new Focus is I don't get how many of you watch the joke. I want you to remember it though, you know Like that's it. That's all I want. I want comedy that will outlast this government this version of India This current social media and this pandemic. That's what I want So if 40 people watch it or if 40 million people watch it, I could kill us I just wanted to be memorable at this point. Yeah, the last one. The last one we saw of you was your your Bollywood drugs and Well, whatever the rest of the title is. Yes. Yes. Yeah, it was so fantastic and it highlighted a lot of things We do absolutely love about you is that If you don't mind me saying you have a massive pair of balls, sir, I Believe it I believe it But yeah, the the stuff you you talked about stuff that basically no one no one talks about especially stuff like Sushant's And and any political protests and and any stuff like that But you do it in such an intelligent way, but it's also still hilarious And so we want to ask you are you high right now, sir? I'm poor right now I'm unemployed right now. So that's that's that but also, yeah, you know You know, I'm not young as a comic anymore, but I'm not old as a comic either Yeah, you know, I'm 13 years in and this is like, you know, 13 years like 20 years This is supposed to be when you really try everything and find that voice that by the time you hit the 20-year mark You're Chris Rock or your Dave Chappelle. Oh, yeah, you know, we it's the right mix of know that self and craft and wisdom And all of those things. So I'm just kind of trying anything like this year. I'm gonna like I was telling my my my agents I'm either gonna end it in the next five years the career Oh, it's gonna be something like that's that's I'm like, let's just go and see what happens Let's give me try and end this thing and we'll see what happens, but let's actually go and give it a good shot So let's forget about the market forget what happens forget how many tickets we sell But let's just try the riskier shit. We've ever tried. So I mean, that's the fight. I love it. That's great Yeah, do you have what what are the things are coming up for you in the year ahead that we can be looking out for? I'm gonna do like a Rom-com like a Bollywood rom-com. I think You know in January of February and then I'm developing an American TV show and an American movie that I'll Hopefully star in soon. So, you know, I've been on them for a while, but I'll try and do that So hopefully I'll be on TV in the US or at least on streaming in the US by the end of the year And hopefully making a movie soon I'm also excited about like new media, you know I'm kind of I don't want to be comedian number 945 with the podcast That doesn't seem like a good way to go But I'm thinking about it. I'm like, what can I do that is Interesting in that I can do from wherever I am in the world because I plan to tour a lot this year Yeah, I don't know that's something I'm thinking about. There's enough Netflix specials with people who keep watching you I can keep putting up YouTube videos, but I'm thinking about where else comedy goes now. Yeah, absolutely Well, when it whenever because I know you were planning it to come to Los Angeles for a show I think we were gonna go. I think you were coming to Anaheim wasn't or something. You were coming to somewhere around We were supposed to come and then you know You know pandemic so that that's great We're looking forward to actually seeing you live whenever you come here, man But so I actually wanted to end this off With a little bit of a game something we've never done So I'm sure it'll go splendid, but this is This is called this message now.
