And I was like, you are them!

The school recently, I'm looking around and I realized my parents never came to any of my school events.

Then I realized I didn't want them to come to my school events because I had immigrant parents.

I don't know how it is in Canada, but if you have immigrant parents in America, you're spending your whole life trying to blend in with all the other American kids.

You don't want your immigrant parents showing up because when immigrant parents show up, they blow your cover.

I don't want them coming to school.

The one or two times they came to school, my parents, they would come in loud.

Right.

My favorite thing, man, you actually made me think of something like I'm the OG before IG.

You're right.

We didn't have Instagram.

We didn't have none of that stuff.

You have to get the word out like one person at a time.

Be like, we're doing a show, Access of Evil.

So you, I mean, just a step there, you're retiring or you're just taking a step back?

How has this experience changed you? I mean, obviously it does, but how in this respect?

Well, you know, I always, and I've always been, and I continue to be very, try to see, be positive about stuff.

So even when Marion was diagnosed, I was the one saying, listen.

you're not going to die from this, even when it metastasized.

I said, you're going to be the exception in a way, because when the doctors tell you, listen, you've got two years to live, then you see another doctor who says, well, there have been people who have gotten what you have and lasted much longer.

So I said, yeah, you're going to be the one that lasts much longer.

And so I continue to try to be positive when any kind of bad news comes about, but I also know that in Mariam's case, once it got really dire, I started to, Try to do further and further research about her condition and I probably wasn't as hands-on early on in terms of Being an advocate for her health.

Did she get to that point where she said, okay, I'm done? I'm done fighting.

this is the man who's speaking for us.

Yeah.

He's not, he's definitely not the most educated person.

I'm, uh, I'd be curious to know if he knew where he was when, in the different countries.

Um, you know, I've, I've performed in those countries, and I've also performed in Scandinavia.

There are certain parts of the world where you go, and there's a lot of countries that are close to each other, and the people dress kind of similarly and they look very similar.

And I wonder if there was times when he was in Qatar and he thought he was in Saudi, and when he was in UAE and he thought he was in...

Can comedy still cut through the madness? Or are we too far gone for punchlines at this point in time?
