 Sing sing the song Gorbin sing I'm Rick This is from Vir Das Who's that? Yes. It's a set from I think we've reacted to a couple of his little clips from this Same set. This one is called Vir Das, I'm Hinduism Christianity Islam and the Avengers. Okay I was a little concerned at first by the first three and then when he added the Avengers I mean I Wouldn't have been concerned with the first three. It's Vir Das. He's gonna make it all that is true poignant and powerful and He's a he's a he's a really intelligent man. This was April. Yeah, okay Yeah, we've reacted to some of the other his little clips. Yeah, we're from the same same stand-up set Got it. So let's listen He's really brave cuz like one of the things you don't joke about in stand-up is because people are so sensitive to this religion true and so he's ridiculously brave for Doing it because a lot of people just shut you off if you start talking about it. Yep, but here we go The future of world peace is not going to come from politics or economics. It will come from religions The world will be okay when every religion in the world learns to have some fun and chill the fuck out Two religions in specific Christianity in Islam, you got to work your shit out I feel like as Hindus we can say that shit Because Hindus are like your common best friend who's caught in the middle of your awkward breakup And I think the only country in the world that can make that peace happen is you America You can do it. You can You America just have to do with religion What you have always historically done so well with foreign food Just combine it and make your own stupid So come on, wouldn't you like to see a religion of peace in the world? Would you like to see a religion in the world? Yeah A new religion of peace where Muslims and Christians can come together and pray in harmony ladies and gentlemen Chris Lam Chris Lam's a great religion guys, you know how Christians you get Sunday and Muslims you get Friday So in Chris Lam you get Saturday You wake up on Saturday you go to the Chosk and there's great festivals in Chris Lam guys. There's Easter You get high chocolate goats in the garden. So much fun. So much fun That's what you're giving Stuff a turkey into a burqa and my favorite festival guys Halal-e-Wil Halal-e-Wil is so much fun You know where Christians and Muslims get together and dress up as the people who scare them Being in the Chosk. It's a beautiful thing. Common praying our father who art in heaven our father who Allah work but Hello be thy name yalla be thy name Give us this day our pita bread As we forgive those who am us against us We're reaching out and talk about religion. What is a religion? It's a really old comic book. It's a really old superhero story Muslims Allah is your Batman Christians Jesus is your Superman single hero comic books But Hindus I wasn't coming to you, huh? That's all Hinduism is it's the Avengers. There's too many guys and nobody knows what the story is And don't eat beef. No matter what we say, we don't understand any of it. We just end it with don't eat beef Don't eat beef. It's Allah. That is fast. We always come back with that chicken. So funny Effective what like just like I was saying it is incredibly tough Yeah, it's you talk especially in a room that Vir Das obviously as east of the international audience He has but he has a primary Indian audience. Yeah, it was probably primarily Hindus Yeah, and so you're talking about these religions as far as these people it took it You saw me say breathe people it took people a minute to warm up to the fact that yeah I could be making fun of some of these religions and I wonder him and he was doing this stand-up in America I wonder what kind of reactions he's gotten when he's done it in other places Because there would be obviously completely divergent responses. Yeah, even in some spots in America Oh, yeah, I guarantee it. Yep, you can't use some places in America You drove about Christianity and people are gonna get all bent out of shape So they don't have a sense of humor. Yeah, no, and it's a shame that comedy used to be able to touch everything and make fun of everything and People have gotten really hyper sensitive to stuff that comedians like Don Rickles couldn't have a career today. That's all he did was insult people because he's dead. No Even the films of Mel Brooks, you couldn't Out you couldn't make blazing sounds. Oh, no, you couldn't nor should you make plays even if he did because so many times he did jokes about Jewish things his Mel Brooks is Jewish and he was constantly doing jokes I mean his first major film was the producers which had springtime for Hitler and and he constantly made fun of Hitler and made fun of the Nazis and did Often did anti-semitic jokes and him being a Jew. Mm-hmm. You can't do it too many people get bent out of shape so it takes a really special kind of Charm and skill to pull off what he can he can pull off because he did I mean the only people who would walk away you got to recognize it's just comedy and he's right It's like me guys Can we just relax for a minute and just think about can we if you can't make fun of yourself? Mm-hmm. That's one of the Hallmark quintessential characteristics of somebody who has a healthy state of mind and a good sense of self is to be able to make fun of yourself and not take Everything personally, you know So we need we need more light-hearted Comedy in the world that often takes itself way too seriously. Yes. Absolutely. I love your Dost Very funny guy. I know he came to LA a little bit ago and we missed him So that yeah, that was sad But next time he's here We will definitely be going to see him. Yeah, because man that he's just he's so different as well from most comedians Yeah, most comedians like they have a niche like a bill Burr, you know, you're gonna get some offensive humor Which is hilarious, right? I love it But like it is alley long. Yeah. Yes. Alley long you get some Which is hilarious His is like intelligent comedy it is and you don't see a lot He's also I would categorize him as a brave comic and there aren't enough brave comics Richard Pryor was a brave comic George Carlin was a brave comic who One of the most original was Lenny Bruce I mean everybody else got it from him where he's just gonna say what he wants to say He's got the freedom of speech to say it and if you get offended. That's your problem Lenny Bruce. Yeah, and you don't watch marvellous. This is amazing. No, I've watched season one. I've watched season one But I would cat he's nowhere near Lenny Bruce, but in today's day and age I feel like Vir Das hasn't as a strong enough internal compass to want to speak things and Changed the way people think and very much what Carlin did but Carlin was just like if you don't think the way I do you're a complete frickin idiot. He wouldn't say that he would point it out and say you're an idiot Aren't you realize you're an idiot, right? It's all mine. I'm an idiot, too He has he has this This bravery about him to touch subjects and talk about things that a lot of other comics couldn't get away with They wouldn't have the skill to do it Well, I think the first thing we ever got introduced to him was his speech to be stupid speech. Yeah Yeah, I think he's a really really important talent in comedy. Yeah, yep That was great to let us know more comedians and more of his if he has more because we love him
