- 0:06SPEAKER_01: He's what you here would call a catch.
- 0:09SPEAKER_01: I know this because his mother reminds me.
- 0:13SPEAKER_01: Every day.
- 0:16SPEAKER_01: And you know, and he has a superpower.
- 0:18SPEAKER_01: I shouldn't be so surprised because back in the day he was a chess champion.
- 0:23SPEAKER_01: I know what you're all thinking, chess champion.
- 0:27SPEAKER_01: Sexy.

- 0:35SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
- 0:36SPEAKER_01: What do you do with logic?
- 0:38SPEAKER_01: Maybe if you're stuck in an escape room someday.
- 0:43SPEAKER_01: But otherwise, what do you do with logic?
- 0:46SPEAKER_01: You know, it's as if I'm married to Clark Kent, who never becomes Superman.
- 1:00SPEAKER_01: Like if a big bookshelf falls on my head, do I really need him explaining to me that I put too much stuff in it?
- 1:10SPEAKER_01: Or if my check luggage is overweight at the airport, I need him pointing out that I took too many towels from the hotel.
- 1:20SPEAKER_01: Nobody needs logic.
- 1:23SPEAKER_01: And you know, when I first started doing this joke, he didn't like it.

- 1:29SPEAKER_01: I said, but why?
- 1:30SPEAKER_01: You are my Superman.

- 1:35SPEAKER_01: They took out all the phone boots.
- 1:38SPEAKER_01: Where will I change into the costumes?
- 1:43SPEAKER_01: By the way, what do you call an escape room in India?
- 1:46SPEAKER_01: Arranged marriage.
- 1:53SPEAKER_01: So my oldest is my daughter.
- 1:56SPEAKER_01: She's a freshman this year at Stanford University.
- 2:02SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
- 2:04SPEAKER_01: So when she got in, immediately I called my mother-in-law.
- 2:09SPEAKER_01: Two flex! Like, wouldn't you do that?
- 2:13SPEAKER_01: Wouldn't you brag about this?
- 2:14SPEAKER_01: And you know what she said to me, my mother-in-law?
- 2:17SPEAKER_01: She said to me, how good can the college be if it's taking so many girls?
- 2:24SPEAKER_01: You see, she is what you here would call a cunt.
- 2:41SPEAKER_01: But I can't complain about her too much.
- 2:44SPEAKER_01: Because without her, what would I get up here and say?
- 2:49SPEAKER_01: What would I say?
- 2:50SPEAKER_01: I would be like, I'm happy.
- 2:54SPEAKER_01: I'm fine.
- 2:55SPEAKER_01: I too have self-esteem.
- 2:59SPEAKER_01: Let's face it, without her, I would have no act.
- 3:03SPEAKER_01: But now my kid is in college and it's all about making friends, making friends.
- 3:07SPEAKER_01: I was like, why?
- 3:09SPEAKER_01: Make friends when you join Doctors Without Borders.
- 3:13SPEAKER_01: And she's like, mom, be serious.
- 3:15SPEAKER_01: I have to make some friends.
- 3:16SPEAKER_01: I said, okay, I'm gonna give you the guidelines on who you can be friends with.
- 3:20SPEAKER_01: You cannot be friends with any communications majors.
- 3:28SPEAKER_01: No sociology, no geology, no anthropology.
- 3:32SPEAKER_01: What even is that?
- 3:33SPEAKER_01: Everybody's dead.
- 3:37SPEAKER_01: No kids who play music, no kids who do drama, recruited athletes?
- 3:43SPEAKER_01: Do I even need to say the words?
- 3:47SPEAKER_01: And she's like, so I can't have any friends.
- 3:50SPEAKER_01: I said, I didn't say that.
- 3:51SPEAKER_01: Did I say that?
- 3:52SPEAKER_01: No, right?
- 3:53SPEAKER_01: I said, Compsai is good.
- 3:56SPEAKER_01: Engineering, pre-med, basically all the Indian kids.
- 4:03SPEAKER_01: And she's like, what if I meet an Indian kid who is an art major?
- 4:07SPEAKER_01: I said, that doesn't exist.
- 4:10SPEAKER_01: And if you meet that kid, get his mother's phone number.
- 4:15SPEAKER_01: We might need to check on her.
- 4:17SPEAKER_01: She might be about to jump in front of a train.
- 4:25SPEAKER_01: So are we all familiar with the acronym STEM in education?
- 4:29SPEAKER_01: We all know what it stands for.
- 4:31SPEAKER_01: What does it stand for?
- 4:33SPEAKER_01: Science, technology, engineering, math.
- 4:37SPEAKER_01: So have you heard about the controversy surrounding this acronym?
- 4:41SPEAKER_01: They want to add art to it.
- 4:44SPEAKER_01: Because the artists are feeling excluded.
- 4:50SPEAKER_01: And they want to make it STEAM.
- 4:57SPEAKER_01: What are they trying to do to us?
- 5:00SPEAKER_01: Do they realize that if you add art to STEM, there will be no STEAM?
- 5:06SPEAKER_01: Do they think that the guy who invented the steam engine ran a puppet show on the side?
- 5:17SPEAKER_01: They think they can just disrupt the world order like that?
- 5:21SPEAKER_01: How would they like it if we added a spelling bee to the NFL?
- 5:36SPEAKER_01: But let me tell you about my 16-year-old son, so handsome.
- 5:41SPEAKER_01: I can show you a photo afterwards if you want.
- 5:51SPEAKER_01: So I follow them.
- 5:56SPEAKER_01: And my husband's been so impressed with me.
- 5:59SPEAKER_01: He's like our son is walking to school with a white blonde girl.
- 6:04SPEAKER_01: And you don't have a problem with that.
- 6:06SPEAKER_01: I told him there's nothing to worry about.
- 6:08SPEAKER_01: It's not like she's gonna get into a good college.
- 6:17SPEAKER_01: Oh, whatever, cancel me, I don't care.
- 6:26SPEAKER_01: Besides, the blondes don't even get that joke.
- 6:32SPEAKER_01: Now my daughter called me the other day and she's like, I just met a boy.
- 6:37SPEAKER_01: I was like, why?
- 6:40SPEAKER_01: You're born here, you don't need a green card.
- 6:48SPEAKER_01: She's like, mom, he's really nice.
- 6:51SPEAKER_01: Nice.
- 6:52SPEAKER_01: Who needs nice?
- 6:55SPEAKER_01: We need rich.
- 6:58SPEAKER_01: And she's like, mom, hear me out.
- 7:01SPEAKER_01: He's an engineering major.
- 7:02SPEAKER_01: I said, okay, I'm listening.
- 7:05SPEAKER_01: He's from Connecticut.
- 7:07SPEAKER_01: Fine, go on.
- 7:10SPEAKER_01: His mom is the head of development at HPO.
- 7:13SPEAKER_01: I said, he's got potential.
- 7:22SPEAKER_01: So I have a third kid.
- 7:23SPEAKER_01: I forget about him sometimes.
- 7:27SPEAKER_01: I don't know what to say about him.
- 7:29SPEAKER_01: I don't really know him.
- 7:33SPEAKER_01: I mean, the nanny says he's perfect.
- 7:37SPEAKER_01: But in our house, we don't use the word nanny.
- 7:40SPEAKER_01: We call her auntie.
- 7:42SPEAKER_01: Because this way she can sit in for us at parent teacher conferences, at doctor appointments, at college graduations.
- 7:54SPEAKER_01: But speaking of college, I have to tell you, I have uncovered the world's biggest scam.
- 8:00SPEAKER_01: Did you guys know that in this country the parents don't get to decide what the kid's gonna study?
- 8:09SPEAKER_01: You all knew this?
- 8:12SPEAKER_01: I really thought when my kid goes to college, I will call the college up.
- 8:17SPEAKER_01: And I will say, Com sci one, com sci two, go.
- 8:23SPEAKER_01: She wants to have some fun.
- 8:24SPEAKER_01: I understand that.
- 8:25SPEAKER_01: Give her one class in chemistry.
- 8:32SPEAKER_01: It does not work that way.
- 8:34SPEAKER_01: They're so rude, they'd hang up on me.
- 8:37SPEAKER_01: So I had to call my kid and ask her.
- 8:40SPEAKER_01: I was like, what are you enrolled in?
- 8:41SPEAKER_01: What are you studying?
- 8:45SPEAKER_01: Are you guys ready for this?
- 8:49SPEAKER_01: Ceramics.
- 8:55SPEAKER_01: Eighty thousand dollars to learn how to make clay pots.
- 9:02SPEAKER_01: Do you know who else makes clay pots?
- 9:05SPEAKER_01: Villagers in India.
- 9:09SPEAKER_01: Because they have nothing else to do.
- 9:13SPEAKER_01: My kid is in Palo Alto, the epicenter of technology, making clay pots.
- 9:21SPEAKER_01: Why am I being punished, Ganesh?
- 9:25SPEAKER_01: Do you know how bad something has to be when the nice white guy in the audience is like, oh no?
- 9:36SPEAKER_01: And now I have an update on this situation, and you guys are gonna think I'm making it up.
- 9:41SPEAKER_01: I'm not, I'm telling you the truth.
- 9:43SPEAKER_01: I just found out that she's required to take a class in wellness.
- 9:52SPEAKER_01: So she's enrolled in meditation.
- 9:59SPEAKER_01: Which costs extra.
- 10:03SPEAKER_01: While she's meditating, I'm gonna go have a stroke.
- 10:08SPEAKER_01: I mean, I'm an immigrant parent in America.
- 10:11SPEAKER_01: It's hard for me to raise my kids here.
- 10:13SPEAKER_01: I'll tell you why.
- 10:15SPEAKER_01: Because here, people like to do dangerous things just for fun.
- 10:20SPEAKER_01: Just for the thrill of it.
- 10:22SPEAKER_01: They like to go sliding down mountains, fall out of airplanes, dive into oceans, just for the thrill of it.
- 10:31SPEAKER_01: Back home, when I wanted to experience the thrill, I drank tap water.
