I don't have that much freedom. I don't have that much money. I can't compete with those people going out. So maybe I need a solid excuse that I'm in a place where I don't have that much of a spare time.

Maybe, but when I left Egypt and I came here, I still had the choice to go back to medicine. But I hated it. I hated it. Medicine traumatized me. The amount of like, you give up. You know, my brother in Egypt, he had a daughter. She's a brilliant basketball player. She is in the national team, amazing.

I used to play basketball also in the Egyptian league, but I never, I was kind of like, my favorite position in the court was the bench. And... I was not as good as her, but she, and then he, it was time for her to go into college. And he didn't talk to me for six weeks. I said, Temer, what's happening to Farida? Which college? Like, I didn't want to tell you. She went into medicine.

I still did it, but I don't know. Is it because of the difficulty or because... because of what I told you, maybe I needed something, maybe because I was not very confident in my social life. So I needed a distraction not to be, to have that much of a social life. Oh, wow, okay.

Yeah, uh-huh. It's kind of loud because I will always have an excuse, I'm studying, I have something, I have exams. And I don't know, I kind of like self-sabotaged my own thing because I couldn't compete with... with those people on the outing and the money and whatever, so I need an excuse to be like, oh, he's a doctor, he's studying.

Yeah, yeah. I always felt as less because, I mean, I didn't have any girlfriends in school. I had a very latent life. Everything to me came to life, so I always felt... Even stand-up comedy. It came very late to me in life. So I always feel that I'm not good enough. I feel that I didn't spend the time to build the foundation that other comedians do. So I always feel that I am too lucky.

I always feel that this is a fleeting thing. And when I went, had the height and the fall in Egypt, when I went like the top of everything, I was like so famous. And then everything was taken away from me. That's like, ah, you see, I told you. That happens when you don't build foundation, you fall. So I always feel that I...

that I am not good enough, or if I am in a position where people think I am, deep inside I am not. Do you know that I have a speech impediment that I was not meant to be a TV presenter? In Arabic it's very obvious. I cannot troll my hours. I cannot say er, I cannot roll it. So in Arabic, like Spanish, it's very obvious.
