00:00Which way is he coming from, this way or this way?

00:04That way.

00:05Okay, thanks.

00:05Yeah.

00:06Just wanted to have a view of seeing him coming.

00:13Oh, I didn't know we were filming.

00:15I would not look at my phone like a jerk.

00:18Can you give us my brother when we got a sec?

00:19I have hidden folders so you won't find everything in there.

00:22It's not as creepy as you think.

00:24You get to have a seat until he comes.

00:26He's coming right away.

00:27You bet, you bet.

00:27So I should also welcome him and stuff, right?

00:32Totally, you got it.

00:33Hi, guys.

00:35Hi.

00:37Where do I go?

00:38Chair.

00:38There's a chair?

00:39I have a chair?

00:40Nice.

00:41Hi, guys.

00:44Nice to see you, by the way.

00:45You too.

00:45How are you?

00:46What's your name?

00:47Lyle Lexier.

00:48Nice to meet you.

00:49Lyle Lex...

00:49Lexler?

00:50Lexier, Russell.

00:51Lexier.

00:52Sexier when it's Lexier.

00:53Yeah, that's right.

00:54Very nice to meet you.

00:55My family and I are, like, huge fans of yours.

00:58I thank your family for having low standards.

01:00Oh.

01:01Hi.

01:02Nice to meet you.

01:02I'm Alexis.

01:03Hey, Alexis.

01:04I used to have Alexis.

01:05Hi.

01:06Hi, I'm Millie.

01:07Hey, Millie.

01:09Were you going to ask me questions through that?

01:10I love it.

01:11Yes, maybe.

01:13All right.

01:14Hey, buddy.

01:14I'm Luke.

01:15Hey, Luke.

01:15How are you?

01:16Luke, at you.

01:17I've been fanning you for 14 years.

01:20Well, thanks, Luke.

01:21It's like I've known you since you were a baby.

01:25I like your sense of humor on some of your shows.

01:29On some of them, though?

01:30Yeah, I don't watch them all.

01:32I only have watched some shows.

01:34I don't blame you.

01:34It's not that good.

01:35It's all right.

01:39All right, everybody.

01:43I think we're ready to start.

01:44Yeah.

01:45Lyle, you get to open the show for us.

01:49Lyle, here's your microphone.

01:50Lyle, Lex here.

01:51That's right.

01:51Lyle, Lex here.

01:55Bienvenue à l'Assemblée, un collectif d'interviewers autistes et neurodivergents.

02:03Welcome to the Assembly, a collective of autistic and neurodivergent interviewers.

02:08We are very delighted to have you join us today.

02:13Our rules are no subjects are out of bounds, no questions are off the table,

02:18and all might happen.

02:20Can you please tell us who you are?

02:23My name is Russell Peters.

02:25I'm a stand-up comedian for the past 36 years, and this is going to be fun.

02:31Because I, too, I have no filter already, so it's just nice to meet other humans with no filters.

02:39First question comes from Mariah.

02:45Russell, once again, my family and I are huge fans of yours.

02:49Anyways, I've got a question for you.

02:52So, what is your most embarrassing moment?

02:56Oof, that's a lot of those.

02:59I have two marriages to prove that.

03:00No, I have...

03:02Not that I don't want to put you on the spot.

03:05My most embarrassing moment?

03:07I don't know.

03:09You know, I tend to say embarrassing things when I meet celebrities.

03:14You would think, oh, Russell, you've been in the business a long time, must be an old hat to you.

03:18No, I still panic.

03:20I'll tell you a story.

03:21I met Willem Dafoe, this is maybe about 10 or 12 years ago.

03:25I'm at the Toronto Film Festival, I'm standing in the hallway, and he's standing right beside me.

03:29And I'm like, holy mackerel, that's Willem Dafoe right there.

03:33Now, you would think that your brain would start giving you all the movies he's been in, right?

03:38No, not my brain.

03:39My brain, much like yours, just went the other...

03:41Let's go in the other direction.

03:43And my brain, somebody years ago told me, Willem Dafoe has a huge penis.

03:47That's what I remember.

03:49That's the only thing that popped into my head.

03:52Not this movie, that movie.

03:54My brain went, that guy's got a huge penis.

03:56And my panicked brain, I go, hey, nice to see you.

04:02He goes, hey, nice to see you.

04:03I go, you got a film in the festival?

04:04He goes, yeah, you?

04:05I go, yeah, me too.

04:06He goes, oh, congrats.

04:07I go, thanks, man.

04:08Hey, congrats on your penis.

04:14And he goes, what?

04:16I go, no, I heard you got a big one.

04:24I said, if I have one like that, I'd have it hanging out right now.

04:26And then he goes, what?

04:29And then you hear, Russell Peters?

04:31I go, nice to meet you.

04:32And I walked away.

04:33That might be up there with one of my most embarrassing movies.

04:37I'm sure there's plenty to share.

04:41Thanks, Mariah.

04:45I like your cube.

04:46What is that one?

04:46It's got a seal and an otter and a jellyfish on it.

04:49It's from T.

04:50Wow.

04:50He feeds the seals.

04:52You feed the seals?

04:53At the aquarium.

04:53Oh, yes.

04:54Oh, nice.

04:55I also like otters.

04:56I'm an otter person.

04:57Yeah, you otter be in pictures.

04:59Damon is next.

05:06Damon, Damon.

05:11You're very young, Damon.

05:13That very nice, clear, smooth skin.

05:16Like a seal, almost.

05:19That being said, TJ would like to feed you.

05:21Uh-huh.

05:29I love that.

05:31Thanks so much.

05:34I am a handsome 24-year-old seal.

05:37Yes, you are.

05:43I am non-speaking, so it will take a little time for me to type my question.

05:48No problem.

05:49Now my brain thinks Damon has a British accent.

05:57You really want to mess with me, change it to the Indian accent.

05:59It'll really freak me out, Damon.

06:05Russell, would you at all be okay taking off your glasses?

06:08Sure.

06:08Yeah?

06:09Is that okay?

06:09Ew.

06:10Amazing.

06:12Am I reflecting?

06:13We're reflecting.

06:14Ew, there I am.

06:16I was trying to hide my tired eyes, guys.

06:18Don't worry, you look bad.

06:20You look bad.

06:22Fabulous.

06:25Mom, quick question.

06:26Before iPads and stuff, how did you and Damon communicate?

06:29We did not.

06:30Oh.

06:31He didn't communicate until he was 14.

06:34That's...

06:34Wow.

06:35So you have 10 years now, and it's only going to get better.

06:38Exactly.

06:39In your book, Call Me Russell, you described a specific racial slur that was used as a way

06:50for bullies to assert their feelings of superiority over you as a child and teenager.

06:55At the time when you wrote this, you couldn't find humor in such name-calling.

07:00So, my question is, what do you think of the use of the R-word to describe people like

07:07me?

07:10Well, see, it's funny you should say that.

07:13That's a good question, Damon.

07:14Because I would self-admittedly say I use the R-word all day long.

07:22But it's never about anybody with...

07:25It's mostly about situations for me.

07:27I've been saying it so long, too.

07:29It's one of those things where I know my intention, but I also know where not to say it.

07:33You know?

07:33I'm not out there...

07:34But I would never call somebody like you that.

07:37That, to me, is out of line.

07:40That's when you're using it in the wrong way.

07:42It's a venomous way of using it.

07:44The evil way.

07:45The evil way.

07:47Yeah, that's the wrong way.

07:51Okay.

07:52Thank you so much.

07:54Thanks, Damon.

07:59Julia, your turn.

08:01Julia, your next love.

08:06What was your favorite moment from the time spent in the school that you went to?

08:11The one where you said all the autistic people sat on the table together.

08:15That's why this was not new to me.

08:16This was like being in high school, really, right now.

08:19My school was like this.

08:20And so I loved it because I feel like here...

08:24Now, tell me if I'm wrong.

08:25But I feel like autistic people are on a different level.

08:29And what they would consider regular people, I think, were stuck in a way of doing certain things.

08:34And you guys are able to see and do things that we just can't figure out.

08:39When people say special needs, I hate the term special needs because your needs aren't special.

08:43Your needs are...

08:45You have actually basic needs.

08:47We have the special needs.

08:49I can't have gluten.

08:50Special need.

08:51You know, I'm lactose intolerant.

08:52Special need.

08:53You know what I mean?

08:54You want to get into a building?

08:55That's not a special need.

08:56That's a basic need.

08:57You know what I mean?

08:58You need an elevator?

08:59That's not a special need.

09:00That's a basic need.

09:01I need to get upstairs.

09:03So being in that high school for grade 11 and 12 really...

09:09It just showed me how much better the world can be.

09:12You know?

09:12When I was in the other school with all the normies, they were dicks, you know?

09:18And I never had that problem in the other school.

09:22Like I look at everybody here and I go, huh, finally real people, you know?

09:26Nobody's hiding behind anything.

09:29Thanks, Julia.

09:31Liam, you're next.

09:34Good old Liam.

09:35I've got to be honest, Liam, you're the least Liam-looking Liam I've ever seen in my life.

09:42Thank you, I think.

09:45Liam, are you a power lifter or something?

09:47Jeez.

09:48Yeah, I am.

09:49Yeah, you look like you could lift the whole room right now.

09:52You've discussed notions of challenging political correctness.

10:01And I was wondering what that meant to you, to challenge convention like that.

10:07Well, I've always been a guy that's questioned everything.

10:10You can't just tell me something and expect me to go, okay.

10:13There's always going to be more information behind it than just the okay, you know?

10:19If it's not affecting or hurting anybody, why do we have to do that?

10:23We're not a bunch of robots, and that's why we're all here today, because we all have different ways of looking at things.

10:29And if it's up to political correctness, they won't let any of us talk, you know?

10:34They're like, oh, they're going to say something out of line.

10:35I go, well, I hope so, because that's what I want.

10:38I want to hear people tell the truth.

10:40Saying what you saw isn't bad.

10:43You know, you saw it.

10:45When people tell me, oh, you can't say that, I go, but that's really what happened.

10:47That's political silence.

10:48Yeah, that's what I call it.

10:49That's a good one, political silence.

10:51I like that.

10:51I'm so afraid of scaring, of offending someone up.

10:54That's almost getting scary in that way.

10:57Well, yeah, that's a problem.

10:58George O'Reilly and concept.

11:01Yeah, you know, look at, I mean, I've been making jokes to you guys all day, but somebody's going to watch this and get offended for you.

11:08And I think when people get offended on your behalf, it's even worse, because that means they're looking at you like they're smarter than you.

11:13And you're like, no, you weren't there.

11:15You weren't feeling the energy in the room, you know?

11:18And that's, I hate that kind of stuff.

11:19Like, oh, you should have said that to Liam.

11:21Unless Liam tells me himself, I'm not going to know.

11:23You know what I mean?

11:25Alexis, you're next.

11:29Uh, hello.

11:34Um, so, I, um, heard that you didn't have such a great relationship with your mom growing up, but that it's changed now over time.

11:46Um, and I was wondering kind of what happened?

11:50Like, was it you that changed?

11:52Was it her that changed?

11:53Or was it like a little bit of both that like repaired your relationship?

11:57Well, it's funny because, um, my mom doesn't realize that we had a strained relationship when I was a kid.

12:03Um, because, uh, so my mom's not changed at all.

12:07Yeah, okay.

12:08I had to understand my mom.

12:11Yeah.

12:11More than she had to understand me.

12:13And once I realized my mom really didn't have any bad intentions, she just had a different way of doing things.

12:18Yeah.

12:19It made, it made it a lot easier, you know?

12:21And then, and now I'm a mama's boy.

12:22What are you going to do?

12:23You know?

12:23Yeah.

12:23Uh, you know, she's 84 years old and, and she's still kicking and she's, you know, she's mom and she's so little, you know, I wouldn't say I had a bad relationship either when I was a kid.

12:36It's just that my mom is very fair skin.

12:39So I was, when I was getting, uh, racially, I was a kid in the park and I would come home and my mom wouldn't give me that much sympathy.

12:48I was just assuming she was, cause she was white.

12:51Um, I was like, Oh, you're white.

12:52That's why you're acting like that.

12:53She's like, I'm from India.

12:54How am I white?

12:55And I'm like, well, you're very fair skinned.

12:57And I'm like, and I'm like, doesn't matter.

12:59You're one of them to me.

13:00Right.

13:01But that's, but that's always been her way of dealing with it.

13:03She's never like, Oh my God, are you okay?

13:05She's never been that person.

13:07Yeah.

13:07I don't think she's capable of being that person.

13:09Um, but that's fine.

13:10That's just who mom is.

13:11You know, you got to accept people the way they are.

13:13For sure.

13:13Yeah.

13:14You can't change them.

13:14So you have, if you want to really be what's around people, you have to bend the way you think to understand the way they think.

13:20Hmm.

13:21That's good advice for my mom.

13:22There you go.

13:23See, let her know.

13:24Yeah.

13:25And maybe she doesn't like you because you're white.

13:26I'm just kidding.

13:27I'm kidding.

13:28I'm kidding.

13:29I don't know.

13:29Maybe.

13:30Yeah.

13:36What are you making?

13:37I'm making a bag.

13:39Nice.

13:39It's a crochet bag.

13:40That's pretty cool.

13:41Yeah.

13:43Um, Nilly, you're next.

13:46I was wondering when Nilly was going to get up here.

13:50Sorry, somebody wrote all over you, Nilly.

13:52Um, so, I am a queer person.

14:01To me, that is an umbrella term that covers me being transgender and also varying sexual preferences.

14:08My question to you is, have you had any queer experiences or fantasies?

14:15Myself?

14:19No.

14:20I mean, uh, I, I don't have a problem with two girls with me, but I mean, uh, but I, I've

14:26never, no, that's, I mean, that's why I really understand it as it's not, uh, it's not a choice,

14:31you know?

14:32It's just the way you are.

14:34And I kind of accept everybody the way they are.

14:37Because whatever you are doing is really none of my business, you know?

14:41But if I care about you, I just want to make sure you're good, you know?

14:44It's never been for me, but I do have some very close gay friends and some trans friends.

14:49I have friends right across the board.

14:50So, I get to ask them all the questions I want, you know?

14:54Because when you're friends with somebody, they understand where your heart is and where

14:56your, um, what your intentions are when you ask questions.

14:59So, I tend to ask a lot of questions just because I want the actual answers.

15:03I don't want to ask a straight guy about how a trans person should feel.

15:06That's not fair to you, you know?

15:08So, if I have a question, I'll be like, Millie, I need some answers.

15:13Yeah.

15:13Thanks.

15:15Thanks, Millie.

15:17Nick, you are up.

15:19Okay, then.

15:20Hey, Nick.

15:23Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Lewis.

15:24Good hat.

15:27Anyways, my question, we're going to dwell a little on your past.

15:30Okay.

15:30Something a little more interesting.

15:33How you used to deal weed and hash back in those days.

15:35Oh, yes.

15:36Was there any particular instances when you nearly got nabbed, and did that cause you to think

15:41of maybe giving up?

15:43And is that even why you gave up?

15:47No, I, uh, so, back in the day I needed money.

15:51And I never did drugs.

15:53And, uh, I knew some guys that had drugs.

15:57Oh, yes.

15:58And we're talking the late 80s.

16:00Weed was illegal at the time.

16:02Right.

16:02And so, I needed money, and these guys said, here.

16:05And they gave me a brick of hashish.

16:07Oh, my God.

16:08And they said, uh, give us back this much, and whatever you make after that is yours.

16:12I remember sitting down in my bedroom, and I took this little brick of hash, and I cut

16:16it all up into $10 pieces, and I wrapped it up in tinfoil, and I went out, and I saw

16:21my friend's brother, and I was like, hey, you smoke hash?

16:24He goes, yeah.

16:25I go, you want to buy some?

16:26He goes, you got?

16:27And I go, yeah.

16:27I go, how much?

16:28I go, $10.

16:28A piece of black hash.

16:31I sell it to my friend's brother.

16:33I'm like, all right, I made my first sale.

16:35I'm a drug dealer now.

16:36And, uh, and maybe about, no, about half an hour later, his brother comes back, goes, I

16:41don't want it anymore.

16:42And I go, wait, what?

16:44I don't want my money back.

16:45I'm like, how am I the only drug dealer to return policy?

16:49So, me thinking I'm street, right?

16:51I grab it, I go, let me see it.

16:53And I open it up.

16:54Something didn't feel right about it, but I'm like, I don't know, maybe I've been touching

16:57it all day.

16:58And I smelt it, but my hands already had the hash on my fingers, so I'm giving you

17:01way too much drug information, but when you break black hash, it's brown on the inside.

17:05Yes.

17:05So, I broke it, and it was brownish on the inside.

17:08I go, all right, but I give him his money back, but I'm like, I'm not convinced.

17:12And then I just went, I put it to my tongue.

17:15He took the hash and gave me back, you know those nibs, the little black licorice?

17:20Oh.

17:20He took a little black licorice and gave it back to me.

17:23Oh, my God.

17:25So, I got ripped off on my first drug deal.

17:27Ouch.

17:28I learned very early that that was not the world for me.

17:32So, it wasn't even about getting caught, it was more about getting ripped off.

17:36Oh, man.

17:37Yeah.

17:38Did you sell the rest of it?

17:39I did sell the rest of it, yeah.

17:40Okay.

17:40I had a staunch no return policy after that.

17:44Very strict.

17:46Thanks, Nick.

17:47No problem at all.

17:49Fantastic.

17:52Luke P.

17:53Luke P.

17:54How's it going, Russell?

17:58Hey, Luke P.

17:59How are you?

17:59I'm doing incredible.

18:00I've been a fan of you for 14 years, and I love your stand-ups on Netflix and YouTube, man.

18:06My question for you is, you're Canadian, but live in the United States.

18:11What are some of the best and worst moments of living in the U.S.?

18:15I mean, the best moments of living in the U.S. were all pre-Trump, and, you know, the worst

18:31moments are living in them now, buddy, you know.

18:34It is very frightening, and it is very heartbreaking what's going on in the world right now.

18:38I mean, you know, I talk about it in my act, you know, because I'm not an American citizen.

18:45I've been there 20 years, and they asked me, are you going to get citizenship?

18:48I said, no.

18:49They said, why not?

18:50I said, I'm not giving up Canadian.

18:51They go, you don't have to.

18:51I go, but I don't want the other one.

18:53I'm very happy with my Canadian citizenship.

18:55And they said, what if they kick you out?

18:57I go, that's not a threat.

18:58What, are you going to send me back to Canada?

19:00That's not a threat.

19:02That's kind of an upgrade.

19:06Thanks again for coming, Russell.

19:07And we have all a lot of respect for you, ma'am.

19:10You too, Luke.

19:12Thanks, Luke P.

19:17Alex, you're up.

19:25Okay.

19:26So, a bit more of a serious question for you.

19:29Do you ever feel like you've become a safe brown guy for white audiences?

19:33Someone who makes race funny without making it uncomfortable?

19:37I mean, that was always my goal, to do that.

19:42Not the safe brown guy part, but, you know, I'm from a different generation.

19:47I grew up in a different generation than the brown kids now, so my experience is completely

19:51different than their experience.

19:53They have each other to lean against, and I didn't have any.

19:56So, being an Indian kid that grew up in Brampton before, it was majority Indian, and so I hung

20:04around the Jamaican kids.

20:06So, my experience, my childhood memories are all very, like, they're very different than

20:12the kids now.

20:13Yeah.

20:13So, I don't know if I'm a safe space, but I'm definitely a reminder of what Canada used

20:17to look like, or what it used to sound like, even.

20:19Yeah.

20:20Are you happy to see the difference of what it is, or how do you feel better?

20:22I'm happy to see the difference.

20:23I'm just not happy to see the lack of simulation anymore.

20:26I think it'd be great if we all intermingled more, because that's what made Canada so,

20:32kept moving us forward.

20:33And the minute we all started to just find our tribe and go away, that separates us, and that

20:38defeats the purpose of coming to another country.

20:40Yeah.

20:41Well, thank you.

20:42Thanks.

20:42Nice answer.

20:43Yeah.

20:44Okay.

20:44Thanks, Alex.

20:45Looking forward to that bag.

20:46Oh, yeah.

20:47Okay.

20:53Yeah.

20:56I love it.

20:57A big turnaround.

20:59Get it, Devin.

21:03Yeah.

21:05Yeah.

21:07Yeah.

21:07Thanks, man.

21:12You're welcome.

21:15Well, that's my energy for the day.

21:17I'm just kidding.

21:19Everybody feeling good?

21:20Yeah.

21:21Yes.

21:22All right.

21:24Back to the questions.

21:26Next is Sophie.

21:27So, uh, Forbes magazine calls you one of the richest comedians.

21:36One point.

21:37What do you spend all your money on?

21:40Taxes.

21:41Oh!

21:42But that's golden.

21:45Taxes, ex-wives, baby mamas.

21:47Everything but me.

21:50Those were the good old days, weren't they?

21:53Pre-debt, I call it.

21:55Yeah, you know, you know, I think we're all pretty regular people here.

22:01We grew up in normal houses with normal parents.

22:03We didn't live a luxurious life.

22:05We got whatever we got.

22:07And then when you're a kid like me who grew up wanting things that your parents could never afford,

22:12when you start making money, you start buying all the things you ever thought you wanted.

22:15And then when COVID started, it taught me that I didn't need any of these things.

22:22Yeah.

22:23Well, good.

22:24Thank you so much.

22:24Thanks, Sophie.

22:27Gen Z.

22:29Gen Z from Gen Z.

22:35Howdy, rascal.

22:36Hey, Jen.

22:36I mean, Russell.

22:40Yep.

22:40I did get names wrong.

22:43And, you know, I got to tell you, there were so many peps I've done since age two to present.

22:55Long story.

22:57And do you have any regrets like that in life?

23:01Like, what did you do and what happened?

23:06I mean, I think, I don't think I have any regrets.

23:10I mean, there's situations that probably could have handled better, but I wouldn't call them regrets

23:13because everything becomes a learning moment, you know?

23:17Yeah.

23:17And I also live a, I'm one of those people who lives a life of oh-wells rather than what-ifs.

23:23So, I think a regret would be, a what-if would be a regret.

23:28What if I did that?

23:30Well, I should have done it then, you know?

23:34Yep.

23:35Like, like right now, I'm always like, oh, I shouldn't have done that.

23:40You should have done it.

23:41I guess, I guess I did.

23:42And I'm glad you did.

23:43For sure.

23:44Yep.

23:44I'll take your word on that.

23:46Anyway, it was great meeting you, Russ.

23:48Thanks, Jensie.

23:49Yeah.

23:51Great.

23:53Millie, would you like to close the show for us?

23:56Yeah, Millie.

23:57Yay!

23:58You can do this, Millie.

23:59So, how was this experience for you?

24:04Was it difficult?

24:06It wasn't difficult at all.

24:07It was actually really fun.

24:09Because I like people that are not, there's no filter.

24:14And I'm no filter.

24:16And so, it's like talking to a bunch of me, you know?

24:20So, it was great for me.

24:21It was a great experience.

24:22I think you guys are all wonderful.

24:23You got beautiful hearts.

24:25And it's a wonderful thing.

24:28And we thank you.

24:30And it's a pleasure to have you.

24:32Thanks for having me.

24:32It's a pleasure to have you, Masson.

24:36That was a good impression of you.

24:37Russell, they've spent...

24:40Good dancer with you.

24:42Thank you, everybody.

24:44It's very nice to meet you.

24:45Thanks.

24:45Did he finish it?

24:46No, Sal, I did not finish the...

24:47Oh, for the love of God, woman.

24:48I finished, okay, this part.

24:49The bag part, but not the...

24:51I got a strap.

24:51Oh, yeah.

24:52Yeah, I got a strap.

24:52That's pretty quick, though.

24:53Yeah, thank you.

24:54It's impressive.

24:55You too.

24:58I got you.

24:58I'm right here.

24:59That's me touching you.

25:01What?

25:01Not in a creepy way, I hope.

25:04There we go.

25:05Thanks, Sal, Park.

25:06Here you go.

25:07Awesome.

25:07Go ahead.

25:12Bye, brother.

25:13Can I give you a hug?

25:15Thank you, buddy.

25:16I'm nice to meet you, too.

25:17You too, brother.

25:18Good to see you.

25:19Good dancing with you.

25:19Good to see you.
