 Corbin I can't hear And you follow me on Instagram and good I think we're on a Patreon and you follow me on Twitter account Uh, why do you joke or laugh in my ear? Yeah it was just a laugh This is a, uh stand up, routine Yes, the same joke as always, yeah sit down Uh, it's called Indian Studying Abroad But this isn't a comedian we've seen before Varun Thakur and he is an Amazon the stand-up special so cool but this one has been requested so we love to laugh loud and long and clear Indian studying abroad I'm not an Indian I've never studied abroad yes you have your mom she's abroad thinking I was in London for a year when I spent the first six months trying to get it to pronounce my name right because they're like room and I do just call me Tom it's okay and I spend the next six months and do I explain to them what are lotas doing in my toilet that's always an awkward conversation that all my white friends would come and they're like why is it a plastic cup in your bathroom my first proper exposure of the British accent I walk into school and this guy is looking at me looks at me like I make you pass with a part look so we all get to know each other now you're all supposed to cook food from our own country I'm a boy I took it for dinner what the fuck will you sit on the bucket I don't know what the Chinese guy made but I'm pretty sure it wasn't dead so we can start running away from me the French girl made little friends we will do that make you a shit you can't run as a liver because it's true because it's a very same to you I like him a lot yeah this white girl walks up she's rude what have you made these are flattened rice flakes with robust indian spices makes a salty diligent dash of lime a sprinkle of korean and basil leaves fuck yeah a dash of lime basil leaves it's like the push-up rows of food they lost the banner of early ceilings I was fucking excited I went to all my friends like guys come check out there's a ceiling in my city there's a ceiling in my city but no one's excited because my flatmates are german american and chinese we are 30,000 well but I was excited and I had to share it with someone right I don't get that I don't either really excited you know yes really very good yeah we don't get we don't get that I lose this girl's birthday right with this girl's birthday she's great she caught us all over she's like guys you know what would be awesome is if all of y'all sang happy birthday to me in your own language you guys think happy birthday to you the chinese guys are like oh whatever I'm not being racist every country has the same deal for happy birthday now they're all looking at me and I'm just telling them like a constipated udit that I'm being did they not? now I'm interested in the indians happy birthday I know do you not have the same happy birthday tune because that's news to us and if for some reason the jokes in there were offensive to anybody we don't know what they mean we have no clue what any of those things were the culturally that he's making yeah I have no idea I couldn't tell you dashi and a pakistani I guess and I hope they weren't offensive they might have been it might be his shtick it could be his shtick bill burr has a shtick and it's to offend people yeah but he gets away with it because he's so charming I seemed pretty charming I really like this guy a lot he was hilarious at all the stuff we got yeah the stuff we got and I'm sure if we understood some of the other cultural things it would have been hilarious probably so it's not it's not his fault that we did not at all that's our fault yeah now I'm really interested though then do you have a different tune for happy birthdays yeah because I thought that was a universal happy birthday I thought that was I thought that was it and it's sang in each I mean it's my naive well because in may yeah but here's the here's the reality of that here's the reality of that what's the reality rick the age of india versus the age of the united states and the age of the song but yeah there's a whole two though that's true and they would sing happy birthday maybe they just sing the american version they might or yeah that's just the more internationalized version india's been wishing people happy birthday before we ever existed it sounded like was he actually singing net birthday this has been like an analysis of what's the birthday song he was really funny but no but now I'm actually just interested in playing but yeah how let's see is 190 000 but that means nothing have you ever this is a completely different topic but it makes me think of it whenever I see stand-up comedians have you ever considered doing stand-up comedy have you ever done stand-up comedy will you ever do stand-up comedy probably not because I mean I would I it's been one of the things I've always thought I would be really fun yeah but I'm not a writer getting getting these thoughts on paper has never been something that's been a suit of mine gotcha gotcha gotcha um I can I feel like my style of comedy is more conversational like I I can I can tack on in terms of yes conversation yes improv just everything yes stuff like that so I don't know if like and I feel like if I did stand up it would be just I gotta hate people we need that other plague it would be it would be dark just me it's one of those comedians when you go up there he's just like yeah I didn't die today yeah you would absolutely be dark that's a that's the humor I find funny also the offensive stuff yeah it's very difficult for me to be like even if he was being offensive to other people it's very hard for me to be offended by a stand-up comedian because I know what they're doing they're doing a complete joke it's nothing they're saying is serious and so that's I can I know what minds that they're going in unless it's something blatantly like you know George Carlin he was never kidding he was dead serious well the new comedian yeah not races hopefully but um that I mean that was really funny I'd like to see more from this guy he yeah you know it always comes with the territory if you're outside I think the only one we've never not gotten stuff of his is Vir Das it's just right we've tracked with him all the time yeah probably such a good communicator yeah uh and so well and again like you said it's not his fault we didn't get the cultural jokes yeah and he was probably telling it to a room full of Indians 100% who were obviously getting the joke yeah and he was he was he owned the room he had him yeah and and and all the stuff that he said that we most of the stuff like we got he was he was really funny I think I like I liked him a lot I like to see more of his stuff I'd like to see more from him and if he has some uh some other sets uh because you know we love this and this is one last question I have about this as well here what Rick what's your question here in the US stand-up comics back in the day like in the 70s and the 80s it was get on the tonight show with Johnny Carson and you were going to have a huge break then it was David Letterman what's that in India are is there a platform for comics that if you get on that talk show or you do that gig that's your big break I would love to know oh it's different now in America even there's no oh it is now it's there isn't one like there isn't a Johnny there isn't the Letterman even if you got on say Corden or uh uh uh Jimmy Fallon it would be a big deal but it wasn't like it was it was it was a game changer for your career back in the day with Johnny Carson and David Letterman yeah it was huge yeah let us know
