How did I not come across this till now! It is so brilliant and hillarious! Omg the desi aunties bartering and that coolie thief's character! Ek dum super!
Normally, I would say that we should judge the reality of something based on evidence rather than some desire, but then again drip seems superior. I change my mind.
Thanks for the watch! P.S. - We are aware of the error. The episode got delivered by our post production team the same night as the premiere and we chose to allow for imperfection rather than push the premiere back a day for a small change.
wonderful and hilarious episode! rekha is such a star, awesome to see her on here (: as a south indian with a last name that ends with -an who lives in the bay area, i'd be happy to buy her a coffee and/or pastry any time lol
I just realized that it's the 'tea kettle' because she's a diety and it represents Russell's Teapot analogy between philosophy, science, religion, etc. and the burden of proof. 🫖😱
Yo dude! yes dude on the top? Do you guys have a God or Goddess of soap, or shower, or deodorant, or hygiene? If there is, that poor dude must be the least worshipped hey? LOL Just a friendly reminder my friend. You guys are being talked about quite a lot. It's for the better good of the world and that part of the world.
So happy that you're finding space here. We made this show for everyone to make them feel included in our culture. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series!
I remembered Taj, but did not realize they actually named him Taj Mahal. I mostly remember him confronting Van and asking how he could see potential in everyone, but not himself.
Kal Penn and Ken Jeong are two of those people who you just love to see their trajectory from the early bad years, post-9/11 where they get stereotypical roles, then getting roles that actually show off their comedy chops, use their own voices, gain a cult following who listen to their podcasts.
wow we are one huge step closer to the Aunty-vs-Aunty preseidential race, this was immediately the first thing i thought of when i saw the news today (also hi, i just recently discovered your podcast and i really love it! i've been going back and listening to the old episodes, keep up the great work!)
What?! No way! The mighty Zaboo finally accepted his rez?! Is that a LoN Tri-Force piece behind you? Ahh. I’m sorry your princess is in another castle…
English was once as easy to read as Hindi or Japanese. Problem is we haven't updated our spelling in 600 years. You have to keep updating your spelling every once in a while to keep it consistent with your spoken language. Which is very hard to do in such a pluricentric language as English. Arabic has the same problem. So does Tibetan too actually
@@effinfunny From what I can tell, Hindi seems to have been codified and standardised as it is now in the mid-20th century, and Japanese is sort of a league of its own. Romaji is super easy to read because it’s meant to be phonetic, and the most common method only came about in the 19th century, but when it comes to actual Japanese characters, it gets so much more complicated. It’s certainly not easy to read when kanji gets involved, since characters have so many different pronunciations depending on context. For example, the character they use for “car” can be pronounced as “sha” or “kuruma” depending on how it’s used. I recommend checking out Nativlang’s videos on the Japanese writing system, because it’s a whole thing
