00:00When my dad text messages me, hey Hassan, it's dad, there's nothing better than getting an
00:13introduction of your father by your father via text message. It's pretty great. Hey, it's dad.
00:19I'm aware of dad. All-time favorite TV comedy, I would say Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is an all-time

01:20everybody, and bring your receipts, but Indians, we like receipts.
