Chapter 1: Why Should Restaurants Stop Singing Happy Birthday to Adults?

0.209 - 25.307 Kareem Rahma

So what's your take? This is a note to all restaurants. Stop singing happy birthday to adults. 100% disagree. I'm sorry. I want it. No, no. If you're at a Mexican restaurant and you're making adults sing to you, it's embarrassing for everybody. They're getting paid for it. No, no, no. They're getting paid.

What are you, a fucking medieval lord?

26.408 - 40.487 Kareem Rahma

Get out of here. It's embarrassing for the staff? No, they like it. They hate it. This is why you're a content creator. They fucking hate it. No, they don't. It's embarrassing to them? It's embarrassing to other patrons at the restaurant, and it's embarrassing to the person whose birthday it is.

40.527 - 57.833 Hasan Minhaj

What restaurants are you going to where all of that madness and sadness is happening? Dude, dude. Have you ever been to Dallas BBQ? Yes. You like when they sing happy birthday to you? See, that is what I'm talking about. Yeah, don't you like attention? This is nuts.

58.173 - 59.513 Unknown

This is nuts. This is nuts.

59.753 - 64.214 Kareem Rahma

You're on a train. You're making grown adults sing to you because you're 43 years old? What's the problem with it?

64.514 - 70.435 Hasan Minhaj

That's fucking crazy. You make adults change your tires? No, no, no. And change your oil? That's different. And clean your teeth? That's so different.

71.035 - 95.864 Kareem Rahma

How is it different? That's less humiliating. What? Bro. The guy's in your mouth. I just turned 39. They sang me happy birthday. Like, I was in the office, like five people brought out a cookie. Your office is not a restaurant. A restaurant, it's worse. It's worse. Hey, are you offended if someone sings? Do you feel bad when they sing happy birthday to you? Hell no. At a restaurant? This is crazy.

95.884 - 102.206 Hasan Minhaj

This is madness. This is madness. Nice to meet you. I'm sorry, dude. No, no, no, no, no. The popular opinion stands with Kareem Rama.

Chapter 2: What Are the Most Embarrassing Birthday Experiences?

469.335 - 470.616 Kareem Rahma

They have Legos, they have toys.

470.856 - 475.76 Hasan Minhaj

No, no, kids need a living pet to take care of and learn how to become adults. I think you should get a cat.

475.92 - 478.742 Kareem Rahma

You guys, growing up in your house, you guys had animals?

0

479.603 - 488.15 Hasan Minhaj

We had a lot of animals, but I used to want to be a veterinarian. Okay. Was that interesting? Wait, who confirmed this? Pops? Like, your dad was like, we're going to... My dad was like, you could be a veterinarian. Because that's like a doctor.

488.17 - 490.191 Kareem Rahma

But he was pro-animal. You guys are Egyptian, right?

490.472 - 501.318 Hasan Minhaj

Yeah. Yeah. He wasn't, no, no, he wasn't pro-animal. Don't get me wrong. It was always a battle. I wanted a newt. Do you know what a newt is? It's like a salamander. I wanted a salamander, but he let me get the newt.

501.338 - 504.26 Kareem Rahma

The Oakley's on. I don't know if you're fucking with me. I can't tap into your sincerity.

504.28 - 508.977 Hasan Minhaj

I got a newt. N-E-W-T. It's like a salamander. Died immediately.

510.198 - 512.538 Kareem Rahma

So Baba was okay with this? Mama was okay with this?
