Yeah, he's like an undercut. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And now I'm here with you.
Yeah, but we got, like, a really bad end with our, like, Islamophobia is so weak. It's phobia. Well, yeah, because it's like arachnophobia. It just sounds like, oh, yeah, you had a weird Islamic experience as a kid, huh? You got a little Islamophobia.
No, no, but you can get over it. Just, like, try some halal meat. And then, like, you'll get over it. Like, you know, it's like Islamophobia. It's like a shellfish allergy. It's like, oh, yeah, no, like, no, he doesn't want any. He has Islamophobia. Like, it sounds so benign. Anti-Semitism is like, whoa, like, dude, like, what? What are you on about?
You know, so I think even from just on a real word language level, we're at an incredible disadvantage. I never thought of it that way. Yeah. And that's because you're Islamophobic. And that's like wild. That's wild because it's just wild because we know each other.
Yeah, I mean, going out, I mean, it's the best. It's so fun, and then it becomes, you know, we made this animated show that's, like, filled with, you know, those, like, thoughts you have in a notebook when you're going to do stand-up, and you're like, maybe this will work, maybe it won't.
And then we get to make this incredible show with so many characters that get to say all this stuff that, you know, You don't need, like, the rate is so fast, and that's what's been so fun.
It's such a great detail. It's, like, loaded with so many little details and music and kind of the ability to, like, you know, do things that, you know, when I grew up, my grandmother was always watching TV. Like, you try to talk to her, and she's just at the TV watching her shows.
And then you go to make an animated show, and it's like, okay, so the grandmother is always going to have her TV with her everywhere. And we build this show where everywhere she goes, she's dragging this cart that has her television. Like, she's at a funeral. And she's watching her shows. And that's the kind of stuff you can't do in live action.
Oh, yeah. I mean, like, I always had this fascination. My dad grew up in the city, you know? I grew up with my dad working in the city. And it was so funny to me when you go through Midtown and you see the news ticker on the Fox News building and it's saying all these horrible headlines about Muslim countries and Muslim people.
And then you kind of look right down and there's the halal cart right on the corner of it. And you see all the guys with the Fox badges buying food from the halal car guy. And I was like, man, this guy's got the best hustle. Because he knows, like, they're in there and they're saying all this stuff about Muslim people.
But then there's that, like, guilty part of them on their lunch break that's like, let me try a little halal. And he's right there to make the buck. And so when we started making this show, I had always been so fascinated by that guy there. And that becomes the dad in the show. He is the guy who's selling Halal meat.
I play the dad as well. Yeah, yeah. And the music. Do you do music? Yeah, I write these songs.
I am music. Are you music? Yeah. And I think that's important.
I don't know. In high school, I played guitar, but I never really, you know... You didn't know each other for a long time.
Dude.
It's really, it was so much fun. Yeah, it is like one of my favorite parts of the show, getting to do that.
We got the show coming out this week. I got to do this crazy cool movie, Mountainhead, that's coming out next month, written by Jesse Armstrong. We did Succession. It was so fun. Yeah, it's very, very fun. It's a very... Multi-hyphenate. It's really exciting. And, yeah, our friend Steve Carell's in it, and he's, like, honestly such a joy.
He told me he likes so many stories about you that, yeah, I'm very...
No, I loved it.
No, and it's like, he's just, yeah, he's so inspiring. And he's like, the way he kind of picks up a character, and he's like such a true film actor, too. Right. So you get to bounce off him, and it's just unbelievable.
