Is it? 59 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,040 Yeah, I've been doing it for a long time, but I worked my way 60 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,840 up. No one's given me nothing. 61 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,200 I'm self-made. Like I worked my way up from the 62 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:15,960 bottom. I did started with gigs in the 63 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,000 pub doing gigs to dogs, doing those gigs that are like 64 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,120 unplayable. Yeah, You know, it's like, yeah, 65 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,200 you know when you get there and they're like, Oh, no one's here 66 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,840 but you. Know you've got a couple of. 67 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,480 Yeah. So you had dogs in the audience 68 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:30,200 in that. Yeah. 69 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,320 I thought my gigs were bad, but you've taken it to some next 70 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,200 level. I'm I've done gigs to like a 71 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,520 mastiff. Firstly, you did a gig in a pub 72 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,440 that sells alcohol. Yeah. 73 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,360 Now I had this debate with one of my friends the other day. 74 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,600 It's like, it's OK. I I said it's apparently it's OK 75 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,760 in your religion to work in an environment to feed your family 76 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,480 if they sell alcohol, but you can't technically sell. 77 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,560 Is there a rule to this? Yeah, you shouldn't all your all 78 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,680 your money should be halal. So it should. 79 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,400 And what halal means is permissible in Islam. 80 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,880 So you really shouldn't be serving alcohol, but I don't. 81 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,760 And you have to do what you have to do to survive. 82 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,840 Do you know what I mean? But I'm this is what the faith 83 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,399 says. Like, you shouldn't really be 84 00:04:16,399 --> 00:04:20,880 doing that, but I don't have a problem performing in pubs and 85 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,800 stuff like that because that's where you've got to start. 86 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,520 That's where it is. I'm not drinking it as long as 87 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,080 I'm not drinking. It's the same as when we go to 88 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,800 supermarkets. You walk down the aisle, I walk 89 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,440 down the alcohol.

This is a problem with this 107 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,440 infection because it's still. It's not an infection in our 108 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:21,640 community. It's just normal. 109 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,480 It's only an infection to white people. 110 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,080 We're used to it. Ear, nose and throat is a white 111 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,200 issue. Our community is just normal. 112 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,000 You know, I was in Morocco.

Yes, 13. 119 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,720 Of you growing up, Yeah. Now if I was white, I'd say to 120 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:03,120 you, same Dad. Well, you know, it's funny. 121 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,640 They're from the same parents. Well, they're not from the same 122 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:08,960 parents. It's good that you are sorry to 123 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,600 actually, no, it's OK. No. 124 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,760 So like my, my mum was married before my dad and she had three 125 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,080 children and then my dad was married before my mum and he had 126 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,960 eight. And then they, my mum got 127 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:25,120 divorced, his wife sadly passed away and then my mum and dad got 128 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:26,840 married and then they had me and my sister. 129 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,760 So but we all grew up together. We're not. 130 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,640 So I don't see them as like half siblings or anything like that 131 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,520 because our parents brought us up all together and there was a 132 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,680 point where there was like 9 of us in one house and stuff. 133 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,400 So we, I I see them as my siblings, not half. 134 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,880 This sounds like you've just pitched me the new season to 135 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,560 home and away, the Muslim edition. 136 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,880 What would home and away be if it was Muslim? 137 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,440 Oh my God, it would be. Home and home, yeah, because we 138 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:56,680 don't go away. We just stay there. 139 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,440 Asian people will just stay there forever, so we never go 140 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,320 away. And if we go away, they'll come 141 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,120 with us. Away and away, or home and home. 142 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:06,960 Yeah, that's right. I agree. 143 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,560 The Asian home and away. We should pitch it mean you can 144 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,920 be neighbors. Yeah, but I've known news for 10 145 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,080 years now. Yes. 146 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,720 Around the scene and new from from the Muslim shows that I 147 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,800 used to come and appear at yes to the I've never done a 148 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,760 mainstream gig with you. Probably because we're both 149 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,960 technically considered brown. Yes, we're both. 150 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:27,400 We tick the same box. We tick the same box. 151 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,680 So we wouldn't. That would be if we came 152 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,280 together, the world would end. They put us on the same line up. 153 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,640 Have they ever put you on the same bill as another Muslim 154 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,120 comedian on a main show? Mainstream show. 155 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:39,560 Have they? Yes, And then they. 156 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:44,600 But they so that only happens if it's like a charity gig or 157 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,520 something like that. I think me and you did do a 158 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,280 charity gig I think once in the I think it was Hackney Empire. 159 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,280 It was the New Zealand one, I think you know. 160 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,720 When I was in new. Zealand, I'm sure you was on it. 161 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,920 Was that the? For the Christchurch that 162 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,520 shooting, raising money for New Zealand, for the the Muslim 163 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,920 community. Jaguar and everyone were yes, 164 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,480 yeah, I remember that. One and the New Zealand people 165 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,880 that were affected as well. Yeah. 166 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,160 All of it, basically. Yeah, we did that one together 167 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,280 at the Empire just before I I recorded in my live in it 168 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,840 special in that room that that week and that was with MO MO 169 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,000 Gillingham was on. Who else was on that was that 170 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,520 was booked by Tez, wasn't it? Yes. 171 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,840 Yeah, and what's his name? Jared Christmas. 172 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,720 And they had a Muslim Adan, the call to prayer, yeah, as well. 173 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,240 So it was really nice. It was really mixed. 174 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,400 I remember. That it was a beautiful gig. 175 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,520 I think you would have smashed. I think I missed your set. 176 00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:40,360 I think so. I think you were in in the first 177 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:41,919 half and I was in the second-half because I only live 178 00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:45,120 like 15 minutes on there, yeah. Because you grew up in Hackney. 179 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,760 You're a proper cockney. Yeah, my Doris. 180 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,680 Proper love. Do you know what I mean? 181 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,440 Because it must confuse people when you speak the way you 182 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,960 speak, because they're expecting you as you look to be going. 183 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,400 Habibi, how are you? Habibi, Blaze, give me Blaze. 184 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,040 This one over there. Yeah, exactly that. 185 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,600 So it really confuses the proper gazes because in East London 186 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,040 when I was growing up, it was proper gazes. 187 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:16,120 Yeah man, now it's all halal. You have taken over mate. 188 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,440 No, I just, it's just the area, like whether it's always been 189 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,880 mixed, I think, but lots of the people from the East End moved 190 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,120 to Essex and stuff like that. And then they moan when people 191 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,560 move in. I'm like, what do you expect? 192 00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:34,040 Like I don't understand. It's the evolution and parts of 193 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:39,600 the East End have never been completely 100% English. 194 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:45,280 They've always had other ethnicities in there and that's 195 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:46,760 OK. Like we can live together. 196 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,880 Like I don't understand. The people don't like change. 197 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,960 Change starts to happen. And then they're like, oh, oh, 198 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,360 oh, oh, and I'm like, what are you talking? 199 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,400 Like?

And he's going. 220 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,880 No. And then because absolutely not. 221 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,360 Yeah. I mean, that is the Internet 222 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:58,240 now. Yeah. 223 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,320 It's a safe place for the right wing extremists and racists. 224 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,600 Something has to be done, like the government wants to do stuff 225 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,200 for kids, which rightly so, 100%. 226 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,960 Yeah, but you've also got to do things for other people. 227 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,200 People cannot. I've seen people write their N 228 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,800 word in in the full letters and then you report it and they go 229 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,360 no I. Get the P word all the time on 230 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,320 that, yeah. You report it and then you get 231 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,400 an answer. Go no, No, you don't. 232 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,840 Nobody. Sorry, there's no nothing's been 233 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,120 breached. What? 234 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,480 Are you actually joking? I've had death threats more than 235 00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:32,880 twice, maybe 3-4, five times. Twice the police will come to my 236 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:37,520 house for the death threats and they said we can't prove that 237 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,560 this is the account holder because he could say my, my 238 00:11:39,560 --> 00:11:42,240 friend use my account so they can't do anything. 239 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,280 They said when he if he comes to your house and he tries to kill 240 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,200 you, can you give us a call by calling 999? 241 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,200 I said if he comes to you and he's literally about to kill 242 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:58,520 you, please do not hesitate to inform us of your the attempt on 243 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,080 your life. But at the moment we have no 244 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,880 evidence apart from when I come to your house and kill you. 245 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:05,960 That's not really enough these days. 246 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,120 Calling me the P word on a daily basis is not enough these days. 247 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:15,960 You have to actually be 6 feet under or being cremated. 248 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,960 And then they're like, we might have some evidence but we can't 249 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,920 guarantee it. This is the. 250 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,800 Maybe his friend was holding the knife that killed you. 251 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,960 Yeah, yeah, exactly.

All three of them held the knife 253 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,200 together, so we can't really charge. 254 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,080 You see, in a way things have got better, but they've also got 255 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,560 worse. Yeah, a lot worse. 256 00:12:39,560 --> 00:12:42,080 I get death threats raped all the time. 257 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:43,160 Yeah. From. 258 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,920 Cunts.

Yeah, they need to do something 278 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:37,840 for sure. Like, well, there's no 279 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:42,600 legislation and there's no like there's, you know, BBFC and 280 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,360 there's all boards on when it comes to broadcasting within the 281 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,480 televisual medium, but there's nothing on the Internet, 282 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:55,120 anything goes. And they have like X push out. 283 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,840 There's an agenda on X, right? They create the London riots, 284 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,640 for example. So they see fights with ethnic 285 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,600 minorities all the time. It's fights between black people 286 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,640 and black people or being in some kind. 287 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,080 There's there's, there's a right wing agenda. 288 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,320 Yeah, for sure.

So you get more people piling 291 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,560 on. The more comments they have, the 292 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,640 more what's interaction is with the post. 293 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,040 And that's what they want is to that makes engagement. 294 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:30,600 Engagement engagement Engagement gives them views. 295 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,200 Yes.

Really. 305 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,880 You've got to become a YouTube and then only when you get like 306 00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:03,040 3 million views is when the the money comes in a million views 307 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:07,120 on YouTube.

Stand up is really, you know, a 549 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:46,440 lot of people say comics have certain dispositions. 550 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,760 They're going to work out that we're all, we've all got ADHD, 551 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,280 we've all got something in. It I don't think there's anyone 552 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:53,520 in the world that doesn't have ADHD. 553 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,760 But especially comedians. Why are we the ones making 554 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,120 strangers laugh? There's something we're looking 555 00:26:59,120 --> 00:27:01,680 for in life. Yeah, maybe. 556 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:03,280 Do you think you think there's something missing? 557 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,000 Something missing in our chromosome? 558 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,640 So what's missing for you? Oh, a lot of stuff is missing 559 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:12,800 for me. A lot This isn't don't ask me 560 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,640 that. Do not ask me that. 561 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,080 This would turn into you're going to start crying. 562 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:21,520 You'll have to adopt me after the show. 563 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,640 You know it's we do it because it's therapy almost to us, isn't 564 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:27,240 it? Stand up. 565 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,320 Some people do say that. Some people say like it feels 566 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,000 like therapy, but for me, it's not. 567 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,960 For me, I see it as a job and I see it my job. 568 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,400 You, the, the audience is your client. 569 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,800 They've come and you need to make them laugh so that this is 570 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,240 how I see it. It's not for me. 571 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,720 I'm I don't like to be indulgent. 572 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,880 I don't like, I'm here to do a job and it's to make you make 573 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,760 sure you have a good time. So that's the way I see some 574 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,800 people do say that because I don't know. 575 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,000 You've also got to remember like what you put out there you can 576 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,080 never take back. Do you know what I mean? 577 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,080 And so you just have to be careful. 578 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:03,400 I think that's my. Opinion. 579 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,800 When you say put out there, you saying certain comics say things 580 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:11,720 that could be detrimental to us as a people or or them as a 581 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:12,560 person. Both. 582 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,200 Both. You got to be careful. 583 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:18,520 Like peddling, like you can say anything that you want to say #1 584 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:22,040 there's consequences and #2 there has to be a joke at the 585 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,920 end of it. You can't just say a statement. 586 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:26,640 This. If you want to do that, go to 587 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,240 Speakers Corner. Yeah. 588 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:32,240 And speak your ugly backside off because you like that. 589 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,720 That's not I'd think that's not what it is about on stage. 590 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,920 I agree with that. A joke is a joke, and there's 591 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,880 got to be a punch line. Just like, you know, Trump is 592 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:43,400 shit. Yeah, well, you're going to get 593 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:44,720 a round of applause, but where's the joke? 594 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,560 Yeah, exactly. Where's, you know, the 595 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:47,560 government? Exactly. 596 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,520 It's a statement, so. Where's the joke? 597 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,880 But you are going to get some people use these tricks to get 598 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,880 the audience on the side, but there's no joke or punch line 599 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,120 there. And ultimately, no matter what 600 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:03,120 you say, you could say the most heinous shit, but it's got to be 601 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:04,960 funny. Yeah, there's got to be a 602 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,360 punchline, and you've got to be ready for the backlash. 603 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:08,920 There's going to be consequences. 604 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,880 So there has to be both. You can't hide behind the art, 605 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,880 you know what I mean? You're awake, you're a fully 606 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,200 functioning adult. You're aware. 607 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,400 You know what the world is. You know what the climate is in 608 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,040 the world at the moment. And, you know, so you've got to 609 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,360 be aware when you touch, when you open your mouth. 610 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:26,640 See, when I started, there was no YouTube. 611 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,120 There were no comments. Yeah. 612 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,520 So I used to open years ago with what's happening to white people 613 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:37,040 years ago, you know, and because I was the only non white person 614 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,640 in the room. So I'd go to these clubs and, 615 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,440 you know, join us Comedy store. At one time I went there and 616 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,400 there was a whole in Watford, a whole bunch of white guys there, 617 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,680 you know, proper gazes Stag don't like doing the stag do. 618 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,440 What's this? What's he doing on stage? 619 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,400 My and my opening line used to be what's happening to white 620 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,760 people because the only other non white person would be the 621 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,440 security guard. That was it. 622 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,040 So it's all white axe or so you'd have to kill it hard. 623 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:05,920 Yeah, yeah, you always have to be better. 624 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,360 Always. And then I'd come and I came off 625 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:13,160 on time and then after the show this guy came up to me and goes, 626 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,520 you better be careful, one of our mates isn't happy with you, 627 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,480 so how come? And he goes, hey, mate, how come 628 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,920 you said what's happening? White people come. 629 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,280 You had to say his mate, because you need to get away because he 630 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,560 knew because he could see him Skinhead, ex Skinhead. 631 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,120 And he was about to it was about to kick off. 632 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:33,160 You know these these are the kind of. 633 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:34,760 Wild. Like, why would you? 634 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,520 If I saw something I didn't like, I just wouldn't go back. 635 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,000 Well, I'd just leave. Do you know what I mean? 636 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,960 Like why would you? They would stay for the disco 637 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,720 mic. Like violence? 638 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,040 Like for what? Like, but we grew up to via. 639 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,560 I was born in the 70s. You know, you you, you were 640 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,040 lucky to live. You're a young lady. 641 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,200 No, no, no, I'm not. I was born in 81. 642 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:55,520 I've seen it. I've seen. 643 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,120 Them So we came through the front and the. 644 00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,800 British What's the other one? The National Front and the 645 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,320 other. One combat 18, No, not BNP. 646 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,280 Yeah, that's it. I've seen that shit. 647 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,520 They used to get where we, when we moved because we lived in 648 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,120 Hackney and when I was about 12, we just crossed the road into 649 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,840 Bethnal Green needs to get their dog to shit on our door every 650 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,480 day. And that happened for 10 years. 651 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:18,880 And we'd call the police and they'd go, well, there's nothing 652 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:20,920 we can do. We can maybe talk to them 653 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,120 because there wasn't anything like hate crime or anything like 654 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,920 that and stuff like. That don't you psych shit mate. 655 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,880 What's not our fault, is it? Yeah, exactly, exactly that. 656 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,480 So. They would have trained that dog 657 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,120 to do that. That's the weird thing about it, 658 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:36,640 they would have trained that dog to take a shit. 659 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,480 Wait. Bro I remember once my niece, my 660 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:44,400 niece is 14 now and I remember when she was like 3-4 walking 661 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:45,760 through the park next to where I live. 662 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,720 She was on our bike and then when we got into the park she 663 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,160 got off her bike and I still look there's because there's 664 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,320 like wildlife and that I said look at the there's and there 665 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,320 was a squirrel and I said look at that squirrel was eating a 666 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,160 nut or whatever. And so she was looking and there 667 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,960 was a family coming towards us and it was a man and a woman and 668 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,760 three, their kids, three boys and they're coming towards us 669 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,520 and they're boys.

And he said he goes, go and 674 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,360 punch her.

Yeah, big time. 724 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:40,960 Which we will plug which you can plug it any point. 725 00:34:41,159 --> 00:34:43,120 In the meantime, you just want to ask me questions. 726 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:44,520 Yeah, and I mean, this is the whole point. 727 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,760 Why do people do podcasts to to have a whole load of questions 728 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,760 at the end? Yeah, I'm doing a show, Yeah. 729 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,239 It's like you wouldn't be here otherwise. 730 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,280 Are you going on tour? Have you got a tour? 731 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,400 Coming. I'm no, I just finished the tour 732 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:00,680 I did. It was on tour last year. 733 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,840 I'm going going back out to LA next month. 734 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:04,040 Oh. OK, what to do? 735 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,040 Like gigs? And Netflix is a joke festival, 736 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:11,680 not the TV fest is the comedy. Fest nice what is it like in LA 737 00:35:11,720 --> 00:35:15,960 is the comedy scene it's very different comedians are very the 738 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:17,960 style of. Comedy is so different in 739 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,520 America. It's heavily, heavily scripted, 740 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,200 isn't it? Word for word. 741 00:35:22,240 --> 00:35:24,040 Yeah. Whereas we're very different. 742 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,440 We're very loose. Yeah, but it's good to be like 743 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,160 that because then because the problem is if you're, if it's 744 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,240 very heavily scripted, I find because it's not just American 745 00:35:32,240 --> 00:35:33,680 comics. A lot of comics here do that 746 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:37,680 because some if if you so some comics use writers and things 747 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,520 like that. And can you tell I can tell if 748 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:41,840 they've used the right? Art easily. 749 00:35:42,240 --> 00:35:45,360 I can tell so. But you've got to be loose 750 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,080 because all it takes is for one person to shout out and you'll 751 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,360 lose the whole show, you'll lose yourself. 752 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,280 You you have to be able to respond. 753 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,680 That's why you need to start from the bottom. 754 00:35:54,720 --> 00:35:57,240 When the pubs build, you need to because that's where you get 755 00:35:57,240 --> 00:35:59,600 your most educated. When the dogs in the woo woo 756 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:00,440 woo. This is it. 757 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,720 Well, you need a bone mate, you know what I mean? 758 00:36:02,720 --> 00:36:07,120 It's like, yeah, I started in the pubs as well and this is the 759 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:08,760 I. Still, do some pubs like that? 760 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,520 And pubs now are nice, yeah. I just, I still, that's my home. 761 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,720 That's where we grew up doing this and. 762 00:36:14,720 --> 00:36:19,000 I used to come out of those pubs after those shows stinking of 763 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,960 cigarettes because there was no smoking in those days indoors. 764 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,000 So you'll just see a mist. You can't even see beyond the 765 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:31,640 first row because of the smoke. I probably passive smoked packs 766 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,800 in those rooms because we're, we're on a, you know, we're 767 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,480 breathing in heavily. We're so you're just taking it. 768 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,320 We're athletes there. So. 769 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,800 So I was out on and I was come home and my family would say 770 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,080 you're close with a stink of cigarettes. 771 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:52,040 It was proper Aram before shisha lounges. 772 00:36:52,720 --> 00:36:53,960 Sally. Shisha smells good. 773 00:36:54,720 --> 00:36:57,280 Yeah. You know, blueberry muffin 774 00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,840 flavour. Yeah, banana flavour. 775 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:04,040 Mint and lemonade or something. I don't do it. 776 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:05,080 I can't. It's very bad for you. 777 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,160 Yeah, that's what they say. There's no filter on it. 778 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,560 Yeah. It's like smoking like 10 packs 779 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,360 of cigarettes in one shisha. My friends do it and I'll sit 780 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:13,560 with them while they do it, but I don't. 781 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:14,200 Do it. That's what I do. 782 00:37:14,240 --> 00:37:16,680 Yeah, I'll just find it. I can't inhale smoke. 783 00:37:16,720 --> 00:37:18,440 I can't. Once they had to give me asthma 784 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:22,680 pump because I had a infection in my lungs and and like they 785 00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,360 had to give me the baby thing, you know, the spacer you put it 786 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:29,640 in, you say they give me this thing and then you put the pump 787 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,640 in it and then you breathe. That's what. 788 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,280 Because I could not do it for love. 789 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:34,880 That's a. Moroccan inhaler, that one. 790 00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:38,000 Which, yeah. It's the cheaper version. 791 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,000 I always have to have a space hour. 792 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,920 I went to Morocco recently. What a great country. 793 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,360 And the and the argon oil, yeah, there's not many argon trees 794 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,320 left.

Oh, I thought you've been the 797 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:57,240 Indians. The Indians to call the Argon 798 00:37:57,240 --> 00:37:59,120 oil. Now we're just playing. 799 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,480 Everyone calm down, there's enough Argon trees. 800 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,880 I heard there's a shortage of argon trees. 801 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:05,240 That's what they told me in Morocco are. 802 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:06,680 They just telling you that because. 803 00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:07,360 They wanted to.

Just when do you know? 812 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:35,520 I feel like it's not AI think because life has changed as well 813 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,120 because you know, like those shows you used to watch it with 814 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,000 your families. Remember like the old gladiators 815 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,640 blind day.

You know, like Bruce Forsyth. 822 00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:58,480 That was Michael Barrymore. You. 823 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,240 Did Oh Barrymore?

Do you remember? 828 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:14,320 We used to all sit in front of 1 television and watch and used to 829 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,880 have to to turn it over. You have to get up and and turn 830 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:17,680 it. And do you remember? 831 00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,160 When I had to get up and press the press the TV button do. 832 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,120 You remember when I was three channels only? 833 00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:23,840 Yeah. And like, that was it. 834 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,320 And everything was on the TV, the volume. 835 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,240 Turn it over, turn it off, everything. 836 00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,320 Everything. The cooker, everything I 837 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,560 remember and then Channel 4 being launched and then Channel 838 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,720 5 in the 90s. I used to work for them. 839 00:39:37,720 --> 00:39:40,560 Oh really? Back in the day, the only way 840 00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:44,240 you could get Channel 5 is you had to retune your video or TV 841 00:39:44,240 --> 00:39:47,080 to get Channel 5. And they'd call up a call centre 842 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:51,440 and then they'd have to send an engineer to your house to retune 843 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:55,000 your TV. And I was the guy that'd call. 844 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:56,880 I had to send engineers to people's houses. 845 00:39:58,000 --> 00:39:59,360 Gosh, I didn't know it. Was like that. 846 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,440 That was, and now Channel 5's got pretty good. 847 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,360 Yeah, they've got some good shows on there. 848 00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:05,240 Eventually, they got there in the end. 849 00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,120 I hope you're enjoying the podcast so far. 850 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:12,520 Just a reminder, this show is brought to you by Mrs. Elswood 851 00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,280 Pickles.

Yeah. 855 00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:26,920 So you, you, you thinking about coming to America? 856 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:30,440 I probably won't be allowed. In how come? 857 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,560 You're allowed in. Is it because you've been 858 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,960 before? I've been going since I was a 859 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:36,720 kid. OK, so they let you. 860 00:40:36,720 --> 00:40:38,640 Do you have shit when you get to the airport on that? 861 00:40:38,720 --> 00:40:43,160 Yeah, I've been going since the 1970s, OK, I'm going since the 862 00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:47,080 70s and. So they're all right, but they 863 00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:48,960 still give you shit. No, but I've got a work visa 864 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:50,720 now. Right, so they can't give you 865 00:40:50,720 --> 00:40:52,520 shit. They do still give you. 866 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,720 They're like, why are you here? And then you've got to but I 867 00:40:55,720 --> 00:40:57,840 don't get held in that detention room anymore. 868 00:40:57,840 --> 00:40:58,840 You. Used. 869 00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:02,680 To I used to get sometimes put in that room for like 3 hours. 870 00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,600 To and do what? Like what they need to check? 871 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:07,440 Then you have to do like a long set. 872 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:11,560 So now you've got to prove you're a stand up by doing some 873 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:12,880 of your ACT because they don't believe you. 874 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,520 I don't look like a start, you know, like say, well, you you 875 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:20,520 got to do some material and then you walk up and the Salaam 876 00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,400 alaikum and this is not that. This is not comedy. 877 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:26,240 And if they find you funny, you get in. 878 00:41:26,240 --> 00:41:28,400 If you don't, imagine that you have to do bits of. 879 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:31,320 Now they check your social media. 880 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,320 Yeah. Did they say they will? 881 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,440 Have they done that to you? But just it was coming in, but 882 00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,000 now they go. But when you get the visa, they 883 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,640 check everything. So it takes a while to apply for 884 00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,040 that you've got. Oh so they would have done those 885 00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,400 checks already? Where our so they check your 886 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,360 social media. They check everything you've got 887 00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:49,560 to give. Handles for everything are. 888 00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:51,760 We a joke or what? What is going on here? 889 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,800 Like we. This is a police state. 890 00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:58,160 We live in a democracy, apparently, but that's slowly 891 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:04,840 changing totalitarian regimes where they're going to check 892 00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:08,200 everything. They can check my arse if they 893 00:42:08,240 --> 00:42:11,120 want. I'm sure you didn't mean that, 894 00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:17,960 but before comedy you worked at a pupil referral unit. 895 00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,560 Yes, that was rough. That was very rough. 896 00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:24,040 It was so pupil referral unit, they call it proof for short. 897 00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:27,360 And it's all the kids that just cannot be in mainstream 898 00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:31,440 education. And sometimes it'll be 899 00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:38,080 behavioural and sometimes it's usually behavioural to be honest 900 00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:42,000 with you.

It depends on the venue, but 942 00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,920 usually they'll allow because you they can't stop people from 943 00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,800 booking but you don't like I don't do those gigs where it's 944 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,520 like 10 stag dos. I don't do that. 945 00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:58,720 But sometimes you'll get like 1 hen 1 stag, something like that 946 00:44:58,720 --> 00:45:00,440 they'll. Before your time, I used to do 947 00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:06,280 junglers and used to go out there and it was like 7 hens and 948 00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:09,200 10 stag dos and seven birthday parties. 949 00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:12,120 That was the audience, the crowd. 950 00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:15,640 There was no normal like just people going to watch comedy, 951 00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,800 stag hens and birthdays. That's all it was, and that's 952 00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:22,160 what it catered for to their book tables, and it was rough. 953 00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:26,240 Yes, really rough, rough. Once I did a gig and I was a hen 954 00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:29,680 party and Oh my God. Anyway, I ended up because one 955 00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,960 of the women was getting on my fucking nerves and then she said 956 00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:36,280 to me, I thought she said you're fat and she didn't. 957 00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,000 I think she said. What's your name anyway? 958 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:39,880 I ripped. Her eyes sounds very similar 959 00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:44,000 though. I tore her arse up. 960 00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,280 She yeah, she had to be dragged out crying brother. 961 00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,080 Her friends had to take her. Yeah, I was like, don't play 962 00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:49,360 with me. What did she what did she 963 00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:50,440 actually say? She said. 964 00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,760 What's your name? No, it doesn't sound like a fat. 965 00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,720 That's what I thought, she said. Man, I just fucking ripped her. 966 00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:57,360 You did the right. Thing she was crying that to 967 00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:58,960 take her out is it? Yeah. 968 00:45:59,960 --> 00:46:02,240 What happened then? Then when I and then I got 969 00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:03,400 that's it. I carried on. 970 00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:06,440 Yeah, I was just telling. What's your name? 971 00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:11,160 What'd you say? Don't you start hacking shit 972 00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:15,080 with me, you slag. I just said, what's her name? 973 00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:18,240 But then you know they would have said your name when you 974 00:46:18,240 --> 00:46:20,000 came on stage. So why did she ask? 975 00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:21,360 You again? Why are you asking me some 976 00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:23,160 nonsense? Yeah, why would she ask your 977 00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:24,760 name twice? Exactly. 978 00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:26,600 No, that's suspect. That is. 979 00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:28,520 She deserved that. Exactly. 980 00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:30,400 Thank you, Paul for. Thank you for fighting in the 981 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,400 corner for our people. Next time somebody asks me my 982 00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:34,920 name, I know what to do. Exactly. 983 00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:37,680 Although I do get how come your name's Paul Red. 984 00:46:39,240 --> 00:46:41,760 I get it more from Asian people. You're coconut Bravin. 985 00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:45,840 I always get because my name is Fatia, they go, did your mum 986 00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,320 call you Fatia because you're fat? 987 00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:52,840 And I'm like no, no, Lisa. But Fatia is the first name in 988 00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:54,680 the Quran, Lisa. Is it? 989 00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:56,200 Yeah, it's the first name in the. 990 00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:57,360 It's the first chapter of the Quran. 991 00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:58,160 That's the first name. Yeah. 992 00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:02,280 Sorat al Fatiha which means the chapter of Fatiha, which is 993 00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:04,840 fatiha means the beginning or the opening. 994 00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,600 Mashallah, exactly.

Brooklyn, we were banging there. 999 00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:28,080 So we're not even at that, mate. So it's very similar. 1000 00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:33,360 It's very similar. Elephant and Castle got twins. 1001 00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:37,480 Do you know they would be those kinds of what are you going to 1002 00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:39,560 ask me I.

Sometimes people make fake. 1095 00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:47,800 Well this guy made a fake account on Instagram and someone 1096 00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:49,720 sent it to me so I messed IDMD him. 1097 00:51:49,720 --> 00:51:51,280 I said fucking delete this you prick. 1098 00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:52,920 How do you know it was him?

And then he goes you, you're I 1101 00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:03,000 guess you're you're fake like you're like this is you're 1102 00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:05,600 saying to me, he goes to me, you're fake and I was like, fuck 1103 00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:07,240 you, you prick. And then he. 1104 00:52:07,240 --> 00:52:08,760 Said you're fake. Yeah, he goes to me. 1105 00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:10,280 No, you're the fake one. I'm the real one. 1106 00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:12,280 I was like, what? And then he blocked me and then 1107 00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:15,680 I went on my friend's Instagram, got her phone and run his arse 1108 00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:17,560 out on the phone. And they reported it, Yeah. 1109 00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:19,560 And he got taken down. I don't know. 1110 00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:21,880 See, this is thing. You can't, you can't even take 1111 00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:23,560 down somebody impersonate. Yeah. 1112 00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:26,280 Yeah, I know you can't. It's really. 1113 00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:27,840 Hard. Even if you open another page, 1114 00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:31,400 they'll say you're pretending to be you. 1115 00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:35,360 Yeah, I know it's lawless. You're totally right. 1116 00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:39,000 What you said about like the whole online thing, it's just 1117 00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:40,560 lawless. They need to sort it out. 1118 00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:43,160 It's good. I mean, how are they only now 1119 00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:46,560 just finally looking at things with like kids safety? 1120 00:52:46,720 --> 00:52:48,720 But even then they're saying things like don't use the 1121 00:52:48,720 --> 00:52:50,960 Internet too long. That's not the problem, bruv. 1122 00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:52,880 The problem is the stuff that's on there. 1123 00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:55,000 Do you know what I'm saying? And it's so easy for them to be 1124 00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,360 like, oh, let your kid only use it one hour a day. 1125 00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:01,000 You've got a nanny, you've got a nanny that looks after your kid. 1126 00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:03,760 So when you can't do it, you've got someone else that can give 1127 00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:05,760 them attention and take them to the park and all that. 1128 00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:09,840 So like so out of touch. Yeah, people, it's the wild. 1129 00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:12,840 When I started on the Internet, it was wild, Wild West. 1130 00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:18,640 It's got some regulations to it now because of the advertisers. 1131 00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:22,040 So they've got to be. So if you put so now you've got 1132 00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:24,240 to bleep the swear words. If we're doing some comedy, 1133 00:53:24,720 --> 00:53:27,160 they'll take the swear words. But Andrew Tate can swear as 1134 00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:29,400 much as he wants and get millions of views. 1135 00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:32,240 So it does. I don't know who's beating these 1136 00:53:32,240 --> 00:53:35,080 algorithms or what they'll do is create a pyramid scheme and then 1137 00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:38,000 people create 55 accounts with the same video on all of them. 1138 00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:40,920 You got more chance of a hit rate if you put if you put one 1139 00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:43,880 video up on your profile and collaborate with me, it might do 1140 00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:46,240 all right. But if we put that same video up 1141 00:53:46,240 --> 00:53:49,160 on 15 accounts, it'll probably go viral on one of them. 1142 00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:51,760 That's crazy. So you just create multiple 1143 00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:53,160 accounts. I've got accounts. 1144 00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:56,800 There's accounts on TikTok that are just videos of me, yeah. 1145 00:53:56,960 --> 00:54:01,800 And it's got more followers and more than me and people message 1146 00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:05,120 me and go, is this your account and go, no, but they're not 1147 00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:06,400 pretending to be me. No. 1148 00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:07,920 They just thinks I can't do anything. 1149 00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:12,000 They just know how to use platforms to get more views and 1150 00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:15,160 followers. Yeah, and use your stuff without 1151 00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:17,240 copyright. Yeah, the amount of times I've 1152 00:54:17,240 --> 00:54:18,240 been filmed. The top secret? 1153 00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:21,960 Yeah, that happened to me recently, not top secret at 1154 00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:24,120 another club and we had to contact the girl and say put it, 1155 00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:26,240 take it off and she and it got removed. 1156 00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:30,320 That's good, sometimes they don't remove them, but as you 1157 00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:33,640 say, it's a saturated market in dating, in fish and chips. 1158 00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:38,040 Food, clothes, everything saturated. 1159 00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:41,840 It's the depressing world we live in now. 1160 00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:45,040 The saturation has gone so badly that my cholesterol has gone up. 1161 00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:48,840 You know it's what happens when you're Asian. 1162 00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:53,320 Every day is cholesterol. Double heart bypass. 1163 00:54:54,920 --> 00:55:00,360 But you have some pre show rituals you just don't eat 1164 00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:02,360 before you go. But although we source we were, 1165 00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:04,680 I think we were. Maybe I was eating before the 1166 00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:05,920 show that day. Yes. 1167 00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:07,320 The other one, no. Yeah. 1168 00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:10,160 I don't eat before a show because I end up, you know, 1169 00:55:10,240 --> 00:55:12,280 firstly, you have those nervous poos. 1170 00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:14,200 Yeah. I mean, you get them whether you 1171 00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:15,800 eat or not. But if when you eat, they can 1172 00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:17,920 become worse. So you have that. 1173 00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:21,120 And then I just find you can be quite heavy and then you're not 1174 00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:23,760 reacting quickly enough if something happens, or just. 1175 00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:25,440 Good point. Because they say when you eat, 1176 00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:27,600 the blood rushes to your stomach. 1177 00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:30,240 Oh, really? And hunter gatherers, when we 1178 00:55:30,240 --> 00:55:36,280 were cave people, we would think quickly due to hunger, right? 1179 00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:39,160 So the blood's rushed your brain because you need to find food. 1180 00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:42,120 Yeah. So when you're full, you don't 1181 00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:44,440 want to think, right? Because you're you don't need to 1182 00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:45,480 think. You're comfortable. 1183 00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,440 And that's another reason why they say do food shopping on a 1184 00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:50,600 full stomach. Yeah, because then you buy what 1185 00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:53,400 you need. What you want exactly now? 1186 00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:55,360 That's how we've evolved as human beings. 1187 00:55:56,400 --> 00:56:00,640 You know, women like wearing hijabs on stage. 1188 00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:03,040 Yeah. So a lot of people have 1189 00:56:03,240 --> 00:56:07,880 discussed this previously. Or do you think it can be a 1190 00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:11,640 hindrance or a or or an advantage to your stand up? 1191 00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:13,800 No, it shouldn't. It shouldn't be anything. 1192 00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:16,520 It's just a person on the stage. It's just a comedian. 1193 00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:18,720 People would say why don't you wear a turbo on stage? 1194 00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:21,160 I'm a Sikh. Yeah right. 1195 00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:24,880 So but it's your choice. But why people think it's a 1196 00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:27,720 character might I've had that is it? 1197 00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:33,360 Like I would pick Islamophobia as a character like please, but 1198 00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:36,400 that's like it's your personal choice. 1199 00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:39,200 Shazia did it and got a lot of stick for it in the early 2000s 1200 00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:42,280 with and she doesn't wear it anymore. 1201 00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:46,120 I like that you've stuck to your guns, no pun intended there, 1202 00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:55,320 because you've been known to see comedy more is entertainment and 1203 00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:57,720 about representation and visibility. 1204 00:56:57,720 --> 00:57:02,280 Yeah, like, like I said, I'm there to my job is to make you 1205 00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:04,160 laugh. Do you know what I mean? 1206 00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:06,840 And that's, that's the the main thing. 1207 00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:11,080 I just happened to be a woman that wears A hijab, you know 1208 00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:13,200 what I mean? And but I've never, I've never 1209 00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:14,840 done it. I never thought I'm going to be 1210 00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:18,160 the first or I'm going to be different or nothing like that. 1211 00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:20,160 This is what I wanted to do and I just done it. 1212 00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:24,840 We've still got a long way to go in terms of Asian comedy. 100%, 1213 00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:29,280 But this is the I think comedy as well has also got a long way 1214 00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:33,760 to we're just comics, yeah.

Yeah, exactly. 1217 00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:41,040 I used to be Asian comedian Paul Chaudry. 1218 00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:42,400 I'm just a comedian, Paul. Chaudry. 1219 00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:44,320 Yeah, exactly. They don't say white comedian 1220 00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:46,360 Michael Nackinton. No exactly. 1221 00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:54,920 Sorry this here thing people, people don't realise as well how 1222 00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:59,120 difficult it is like for us like when we do something wrong or or 1223 00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:03,560 or or if if you have a shit show which everyone does, if you have 1224 00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:05,840 a shit gig or whatever because it's normal. 1225 00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:08,680 Everyone has good days and bad days in the work that they do. 1226 00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:10,840 And this is work. So we will have good and bad 1227 00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:12,640 days. But if you do a joke that 1228 00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:16,160 doesn't land or you do a joke that's not good or whatever, 1229 00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:19,880 yeah, you, you, it doesn't become that comedian was shit. 1230 00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:24,160 It becomes that Asian guy shit. Asians can't do comedy. 1231 00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:26,560 Duh, duh, duh, duh. You know, the same with like I 1232 00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:30,960 get that hijabis are not funny.

I don't get. 1235 00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:39,040 It's not just like you said, that comedian ain't that. 1236 00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:41,760 I don't like that comedian. It's always you. 1237 00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:45,680 It's all these other you bring. There's a lot of pressure and 1238 00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:48,760 like, what's the word? Not just pressure, 1239 00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:53,080 responsibility on our shoulders that people don't see. 1240 00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:56,120 You have to be better than everyone else. 1241 00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:58,560 You have to. Because if you only get one 1242 00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:03,000 fucking chance, and if you fuck it up in their eyes, in 1243 00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:05,280 whoever's you know, then you're done. 1244 00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:08,560 It's true when I when I started that you saw the likes of 1245 00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:12,920 Russell Brand and Ricky Gervais get pilot after pilot after TV 1246 00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:14,480 show. That didn't work and eventually 1247 00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:15,320 they got there. But let's. 1248 00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:17,240 Try again. It didn't work for this one. 1249 00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:19,680 Let's try. Again I never saw any black 1250 00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:23,800 comics or non white comics at that time even get given pilots 1251 00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:26,000 after pilot to see if it worked. It's like. 1252 00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:29,160 It's no really for us. Then I would understand. 1253 00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:31,720 I've never had my own TV show but I've sold out every arena in 1254 00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:34,400 England. So it's like you, they did say 1255 00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:37,360 when we first came here, you've got to work 10 times harder. 1256 00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:41,560 Yeah, 100%. And you know as well, people 1257 00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:44,240 will have the argument and be like, oh, it doesn't matter who 1258 00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:45,920 the comedian is, as long as they're good. 1259 00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:48,520 Like why? Why does it have to be 1260 00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:50,680 diversity? But like, what's what you're 1261 00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:53,480 trying to say? There's no funny like people 1262 00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:58,000 that are black, that are brown, I don't understand South Asian, 1263 00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:01,600 Southeast Asian, Is that what you're East Asian? 1264 01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:04,120 Is that what you're saying? You're saying that there that 1265 01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:05,840 doesn't exist. Is that what you mean? 1266 01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:09,000 Why can't what we see on TV and what we hear? 1267 01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:12,160 Be a reflection of what we see outside, too. 1268 01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:15,240 The mixed society, you know, you, you. 1269 01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:17,600 They say things like, oh, but he's just not good. 1270 01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:19,880 But that's because you're not giving him a chance. 1271 01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:22,520 Give him a platform. Yeah, exactly. 1272 01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:24,360 This is another thing. Everything's subjective. 1273 01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:26,840 This is another thing people don't understand What? 1274 01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:27,920 And. And it's OK. 1275 01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:29,560 Like, we're allowed to have different tastes. 1276 01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:33,840 Not everybody likes iced coffee. Not everybody likes holidaying 1277 01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:35,960 in Spain. Not everybody, you know what I'm 1278 01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:37,160 saying? That's One Direction, Yeah. 1279 01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:39,200 Do you know what I mean? It's like Rolling Stones. 1280 01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:40,640 Not everyone's a One Direction fan. 1281 01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:44,040 It's like, no, if you're, I'm not funny to you. 1282 01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:46,400 Exactly. I might be fun to your friend, 1283 01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:47,880 yes. Doesn't mean I'm not funny. 1284 01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:49,800 It's not a sport. OK, yeah, at least a pin. 1285 01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:51,520 OK. You don't have to tell me, Eva. 1286 01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:54,480 Like I don't need to know that you think I'm not funny. 1287 01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:58,280 Because there are things I think about you and your mum and your 1288 01:00:58,280 --> 01:00:59,920 dad and you don't want to hear them. 1289 01:00:59,920 --> 01:01:01,120 I. Like how you bring their parents 1290 01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:03,480 into it? That's a good thing, isn't it? 1291 01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:06,840 That's. That's the clip but you must 1292 01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:08,920 have gone into bare rocks with mums and dads, especially in 1293 01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:11,200 east London. Yeah. 1294 01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:13,400 You know, not many people would mess with you though, wouldn't. 1295 01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:15,120 It I don't know. I don't know. 1296 01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:16,600 I am. I'm really nice. 1297 01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:19,000 I know, I know. I've got a big heart. 1298 01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:21,120 I'm really kind. But if people fuck with me then 1299 01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:23,920 they see a different side. That's that's the only thing. 1300 01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:27,360 But I'll always lead with like kindness and love and tell 1301 01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:30,080 people want to push it. And then I'm like, hold up. 1302 01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:34,840 Oh, what happened going back to your profile when you got 1303 01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:38,720 blocked on the dating apps? Did they reinstate the app? 1304 01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:40,400 They reinstated it. Is it? 1305 01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:43,120 Because they just say I didn't get blocked, they were just like 1306 01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:46,320 this account's been reported and I just had to send some ID and 1307 01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:48,800 stuff to say that it was me and do a little video and all that 1308 01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:50,120 shit. Oh, you have to do all that 1309 01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:52,840 stuff. It's changed now, back in my 1310 01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:54,840 days. Yeah, they were just outwardly 1311 01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:56,160 blocked. Blocked. 1312 01:01:56,720 --> 01:01:59,040 And then I get a message. I remember once I got a message 1313 01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:01,960 and said, and then she messaged me on Instagram just to let you 1314 01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:06,080 know someone's using your. I'm like, that is me. 1315 01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:09,520 Oh, so I'm just trying to help you. 1316 01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:13,600 Well, you've blocked me now. So it's sad to tell everyone 1317 01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:14,920 that someone's using your account. 1318 01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:17,200 So before asking you here, I thought I'll get you blocked 1319 01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:19,920 first. So she could have sent me that 1320 01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:21,760 message before getting me. And then I just gave up then. 1321 01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:24,000 I'll try again. You should try again. 1322 01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:27,120 You compare yourself to a Russian stacking doll. 1323 01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:31,440 Yeah, only because a few times in my life I've had people say 1324 01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:34,080 to me, are you Russian? And I'm like, sorry, what? 1325 01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:37,360 I beg your pardon? And they're like, oh, because 1326 01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:39,920 you look like that doll that goes into itself, the Russian 1327 01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:42,000 doll. And I'm like, yeah, and you need 1328 01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:46,880 to go for fucking spec Savers and a brain scan. 1329 01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:52,760 But like, and, but I, I guess so that's why I called my show that 1330 01:02:53,160 --> 01:02:57,320 my, my debut tour that. But also, I guess I am similar 1331 01:02:57,320 --> 01:03:00,360 to that doll in the sense that there are different layers to me 1332 01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:03,320 that people don't always see. There are different. 1333 01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:05,840 And I know when when I say that people are like, yeah, yeah, 1334 01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:07,240 there are a lot of layers to you. 1335 01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:09,680 You've eaten the whole jam doughnut shop. 1336 01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:11,800 And I'm like, listen, bitch, I'll go to the gym. 1337 01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:14,440 I can probably lift you and your whole fucking house. 1338 01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:18,440 OK, So shut the fuck up and don't be so judgy. 1339 01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:21,720 I see you're good at deadlift. I am very good at deadlift. 1340 01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:25,440 I'm very I can do 120. I've seen this have you 1341 01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:28,800 incredible form see, because some you're going to have to 1342 01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:31,320 train me up. Bro I've come to my gym. 1343 01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:33,160 Very bad for your back sometimes though, you've got to be 1344 01:03:33,160 --> 01:03:34,840 careful. Well, I've got a really good 1345 01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:36,080 train. I've got a personal trainer. 1346 01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:38,400 Yeah, man, I've always. Had do you wear the belt when 1347 01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:40,120 you? No man, I wear the belt when I 1348 01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:42,520 do deadlift. No, because if you wear the belt 1349 01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:47,120 then it can like it can stop you from doing it properly and 1350 01:03:47,120 --> 01:03:48,560 stuff. It's all about technique. 1351 01:03:48,560 --> 01:03:50,240 Technique. It's all about technique. 1352 01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:52,160 It's not about the weight. Yeah, that's you see, I'm 1353 01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:57,480 talking to you now and I'm like, because my trainer, I'm proud. 1354 01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:00,760 100 you're dead lifting. 120 is it? 1355 01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:05,760 Mashallah you can have that's heavy for people that don't 1356 01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:07,680 know. That's why these cunts need to 1357 01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:09,280 know. Can you let them know please? 1358 01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:11,640 Can you put a little clip and show them how much? 1359 01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:15,040 120 kilograms of fucking.

Yeah, I know. 1366 01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:40,320 It's it's, we don't really have mental health in our communities 1367 01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:41,880 though. It's a new thing to us. 1368 01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:46,560 It still hasn't been discussed. I was talking about this years 1369 01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:50,000 ago in at the Hackney Empire. You know, it's a white thing. 1370 01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:54,120 It's a new thing to our people. Yeah, I think a lot of people 1371 01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:56,600 are being more vocal though about their mental. 1372 01:04:56,600 --> 01:04:58,600 Health in our community. Yeah, for sure. 1373 01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:00,800 And there's lots of like, there's like a Muslim 1374 01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:03,600 counselling network, is it?

There's like a little mystery 1494 01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:27,520 and stuff, and it's about loving yourself and accepting people 1495 01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:29,840 for whoever they are and for what they are. 1496 01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:32,640 And if you don't like it, then you don't have to look. 1497 01:10:32,760 --> 01:10:34,560 You don't have to look. You don't have to watch. 1498 01:10:34,560 --> 01:10:38,800 You don't have to listen. You find your people and make a 1499 01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:40,600 relationship and a community there. 1500 01:10:40,800 --> 01:10:43,960 You don't have to, you know?

I did it back in Season 3, way 1508 01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:11,080 back in the day, 2016. Nobody even knew what it was 1509 01:11:11,080 --> 01:11:14,280 then because they'd only aired season 1, and they shot season 2 1510 01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:17,640 and three at the same time. So when I did it, I just 1511 01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:18,840 thought, I'm going to just be myself. 1512 01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:22,000 I thought this guy's an idiot, but they thought I was playing 1513 01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:24,160 an idiot. No, I'm an idiot. 1514 01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:29,200 They didn't. But that was use of the O GS, 1515 01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:32,600 the OG Taskmaster. Well, because Alex Horn I used 1516 01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:34,840 to do the circuit with just sent me a text said look man, I've 1517 01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:37,080 just got this new show, would you mind jumping on it? 1518 01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:39,240 Said fine, I'll just do it for you. 1519 01:11:39,880 --> 01:11:42,680 So on dive back in the now you did. 1520 01:11:42,680 --> 01:11:44,040 You're obviously the Channel 4 era. 1521 01:11:44,120 --> 01:11:46,920 Yeah, nobody would watch Dave back then. 1522 01:11:46,920 --> 01:11:49,080 So, and it was only 6 episodes back then. 1523 01:11:49,800 --> 01:11:52,520 Yeah. And and then I just, I did it in 1524 01:11:52,520 --> 01:11:54,680 San Francisco as well. I was on the live show. 1525 01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:57,720 Oh wow.

Maybe I'd met Rosie and Stevie 1532 01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:17,360 once, I think, but not then. Just like, hi, how are you? 1533 01:12:17,360 --> 01:12:18,560 That kind of thing. Not, not. 1534 01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:20,720 I don't know them. We don't follow each other or 1535 01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:23,920 anything like that at the time and everybody, we were all so 1536 01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:26,040 different and none of us knew each other. 1537 01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:28,560 But we really came together.

But it was we, it was really 1543 01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:41,800 family. Good point there because we do 1544 01:12:41,800 --> 01:12:44,000 have lunch at white people's dinner time. 1545 01:12:45,440 --> 01:12:50,600 We eat late.

What do you mean just ignore it? 1609 01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:02,880 My phone's pinging off like 100 messages a minute. 1610 01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:05,960 I heard Emily Maitlis say yeah, racism is the new normal. 1611 01:16:07,480 --> 01:16:08,520 Who said that? Did you say your? 1612 01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:11,560 Emily Maitlis. Is that what she said for? 1613 01:16:11,600 --> 01:16:13,400 Real, well, I don't know, she said it from her point. 1614 01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:15,480 But that's kind of how it's being looked at now. 1615 01:16:15,480 --> 01:16:20,400 Yeah, yeah, it's true. Racism was normal when we were 1616 01:16:20,400 --> 01:16:21,120 growing up. Yeah. 1617 01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:23,360 And you were growing if you were born in 81. 1618 01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:29,240 And it's come back like syphilis, almost like we need 1619 01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:31,400 the cream to get rid of it. And it's kind of. 1620 01:16:32,080 --> 01:16:36,680 I didn't think I'd see these times again, but it was very 1621 01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:39,520 blatant in those days. But now we have an outlet so 1622 01:16:39,520 --> 01:16:42,800 they can hide behind profiles back in then days that have to 1623 01:16:42,800 --> 01:16:44,600 say it to our faces because there was no. 1624 01:16:45,160 --> 01:16:49,440 Or write you a letter you know. I would like, do you know what I 1625 01:16:49,440 --> 01:16:51,840 would do one of these days because there's loads of people 1626 01:16:51,840 --> 01:16:55,120 in comments going, oh, I bet she's draining benefits and all 1627 01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:56,440 this and what I would like to do. 1628 01:16:56,440 --> 01:16:59,800 You're killing it. Is what me draining you're? 1629 01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:02,360 Paying for their benefits. Well, there you go. 1630 01:17:03,400 --> 01:17:06,280 But what I'd like to do is get like a private detective and 1631 01:17:06,280 --> 01:17:10,560 just find out who these people are and just ruin their lives. 1632 01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:14,520 Yeah, but I don't know if you could ruin somebody's life was 1633 01:17:15,520 --> 01:17:17,640 which is already probably ruined. 1634 01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:21,000 That's true. Because if anything, you might 1635 01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:23,720 improve their lives. Just give them a profile. 1636 01:17:24,480 --> 01:17:29,720 So sometimes I used to do way back in the day for 2014, when I 1637 01:17:29,720 --> 01:17:33,320 get trolled, I would then film their profiles and expose them 1638 01:17:34,360 --> 01:17:36,840 on a video, which would just blow up online. 1639 01:17:36,840 --> 01:17:38,880 And they'd asked me to remove the video. 1640 01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:41,880 They've got families. They're like, I've got a family. 1641 01:17:42,080 --> 01:17:44,600 They're going to see this video. I'm like, well, I've got a 1642 01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:47,160 family, and they're going to see what you've said about me. 1643 01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:48,080 Yeah. Exactly. 1644 01:17:48,400 --> 01:17:51,800 And but we are not people. We don't have feelings. 1645 01:17:52,360 --> 01:17:57,640 We're not real to them. We're just this kind of entity 1646 01:17:57,640 --> 01:18:00,200 that lives in the with characters. 1647 01:18:00,680 --> 01:18:04,360 Somebody created us. We, we, we were never born. 1648 01:18:04,360 --> 01:18:07,400 We've never had family lives. And so they don't see us as real 1649 01:18:07,400 --> 01:18:09,120 people. We should be able to take it. 1650 01:18:09,480 --> 01:18:11,400 And then a lot of them comment. They don't even know who you 1651 01:18:11,400 --> 01:18:13,080 are. Like how you be saying I'm on 1652 01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:14,720 benefits. Are you crazy? 1653 01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:17,400 Yeah. And even if I was, I've paid 1654 01:18:17,400 --> 01:18:19,280 towards that. And also being on benefits. 1655 01:18:19,280 --> 01:18:21,640 By the way. I've never known the people 1656 01:18:21,840 --> 01:18:25,160 being on benefits with the televisual CV that you've got. 1657 01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:29,560 Here's what I'm saying. And what's wrong with being on 1658 01:18:29,560 --> 01:18:31,040 benefits? I don't understand. 1659 01:18:31,080 --> 01:18:33,920 Like that's another like why are you shaming people that are on 1660 01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:35,000 benefits?

No, I'm I'm serious. 1785 01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:08,880 I can't be because of my face. I can't help the fake. 1786 01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:11,880 My face is causing me problems. Do you know what I mean? 1787 01:24:11,880 --> 01:24:15,040 I've grown beards, I've changed my look over the years. 1788 01:24:15,440 --> 01:24:19,680 Still no one takes me seriously. But shame on them, I was being 1789 01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:21,000 serious. Yeah, thank you. 1790 01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:23,080 Honestly, it means a lot, I promise you. 1791 01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:25,920 I've worked really hard, man. I've like I used to do. 1792 01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:29,920 I used to work 9:00 to 5:00 and then I would do six nights a 1793 01:24:29,920 --> 01:24:32,080 week of comedy and I did that for eight years. 1794 01:24:32,160 --> 01:24:34,240 Yeah, man, I've, I've worked everything I have. 1795 01:24:34,240 --> 01:24:37,360 I've got myself. Nobody's ever like given me a 1796 01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:41,720 handout or anything like that. One person believed in me, one 1797 01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:45,320 that was my manager, and that's when everything started to 1798 01:24:45,320 --> 01:24:46,880 change. But I worked really hard. 1799 01:24:46,880 --> 01:24:50,360 You needed a good manager and you worked in Walthamstow as 1800 01:24:50,360 --> 01:24:52,160 well, so that's why I worked there as well. 1801 01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:56,160 Once I worked in a place called Selbourne Walk Shopping Centre 1802 01:24:57,360 --> 01:25:00,240 in the 1990s. I was a security guard there. 1803 01:25:01,080 --> 01:25:03,600 It was rough, you know gangs would come through. 1804 01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:05,360 There are still bits of it that are really rough. 1805 01:25:05,520 --> 01:25:08,040 I know it's getting really gentle there. 1806 01:25:08,120 --> 01:25:10,400 Are you you'd like? You just can't. 1807 01:25:11,800 --> 01:25:14,840 Ladies and gentlemen, Fatiha El Gori. 1808 01:25:15,600 --> 01:25:19,200 Thank you, Mr. Paul Chowdhry.
