We went to school together. We actually learned how to make things together in high school. And I think what was really exciting for us in the show is so many times in sitcoms you see an ethnic best friend. And in this show, we're predominantly with an Arab cast that's speaking Arabic. And we're like, all right, I guess we're gonna have to have the white best friend.
But it was really funny to kind of pitch him as the white best friend. And he also has muscular dystrophy, but really what he is is he's the white best friend. And also in a show where the lead character believes in God, it's really interesting to have someone who doesn't and his reasoning is very rooted in something where he's like, well, why would I believe that if this is how I am?
And then in making something for him, what's really cool is Again, flipping this idea where, OK, now we have in my show, I think he's a disservice. I love my show. And I'm also like, we don't do enough for him. He's just the disabled best friend. I want to make a show where what would it look like where able bodied people are the side characters.
And now we get to flip this again and we get to see a totally wholly new perspective. And so we're putting together we're developing the show with Apple. And so, yeah, it's a world that we're really excited to crack open.
So what's your take? Fundamentally... Everyone is a good person. Every single person on earth is a good person. 100% disagree.
People are not bad. They're infected. Infected with what? With whatever it is. They're infected with hatred, with greed, with lust, whatever it is that takes them away from being good. But I would argue that they're only able to go through with how much bad things that they do because they contain good. So people pick up on the good, right? No, no, no, no.
They pick up on the good that's in them, and then they think, okay, well, maybe this is a good plan. And then, boom. But I can make an argument that anyone deep down has that good core. They're just covered in layers of sickness. Let's play a little game. Hit me. George Bush. Have you seen his paintings? I mean, you can see the good coming out of them.
Then there is like the mass, mass killing, right? And how did that happen? Because people probably saw his side hustle with the painting and they go, this is a good guy. And then he goes, well, before I launched the painting thing, I got another idea. Iraq. Let's just do that. Now we're in Iraq.
And some of that comes off of, I'm sure Cheney and Rumsfeld and all these dudes. Are good guys. They're good. They are good people. And they're heavily infected. I don't want to be anywhere near them. Right. And I had this unlock during COVID. Right. Where, you know, you love someone, but they've got COVID. So I was like, well, I can't be near you. Right. This is a revelation.
This is how it hit me. Oh, wow. You are infected. You're not. You are not COVID. You have COVID. Right. You are not infected. greed and hatred and all these things, but man, you are fully, fully infected by them.
Oh, all sorts of things. I mean, I think like capitalism, the military-industrial complex. I mean, these are all very serious infections. They pack money. These are all like really serious. Being infected by capitalism is hilarious.
He's not a good person. At the core, there is an argument to be made that some people might not be people. And that's where we kind of get into, like, aliens, we get into djinn, we get into ghosts. We get into ghosts and that kind of thing. But I don't know. I don't know if a ghost or a djinn could become a president. I'm not sure.
It's very possible. I think possession is possible, but I think that there is... I mean, BB's even kind of... You just said it. It's kind of a cute name. So there's this little, like, oh, BB. You can kind of see there was something there. And now I would argue Benjamin Netanyahu is... the most infected person on Earth. He's the most infected person on Earth.
He's the sickest, the sickest person on Earth. And the bottom there is good. What about Elon? Alien. Straight up, that is an alien. And I think you know he's an alien because of how obsessed he is with going to space. He wants to go home. So Elon's like, guys, can I go home? And everyone's like, dude, you're kind of crazy.
And he's like, I'm going to take over the entire government just to go home. I mean, Elon is like an E.T. story. He basically just wants to be with his family on Mars. And I wish that everyone could see that. Like, that's actually what's happening.
I mean, dude, I am from New Jersey, and there are so many things I've done to go back to Jersey. And you'd be like, dude, you're in one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Why do you want to go back to Jersey? It's my home, right? So Elon is here, he's got all the spoils and the riches of Earth, and all he's talking about is Mars. Yeah. It's where he's from. He wants to go home.
He wants to go home. He wants to go home. Yeah, he wants to go home. Elon phone home.
Well, I was thinking about this this morning. I was like, what do I talk to Kareem about? This is something I felt like if you really, really, you know, when you really have to pee like really bad and then you finally get to do it. That feeling is better than any sexual experience.
You're down with like a studio apartment in heaven. I'm fine. You're just like, I'll just get a little spot. Bro, I'm a B-plus. I go visit some of my friends with bigger cribs. As long as I'm in the heaven realm, I'm good.
Ads, ad tier stuff. I'm trying to get a little bit higher than ad tier, but I don't need 4K. I just need... I need no ads, and then give me quality that matches my connection. Okay, okay. That's kind of where I'm at.
