1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:15,000
destroying your equals. Are we recording now? Did you catch all of that? I hate you, like I love you. I hate you, like I love you, love you, love you.

2
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:30,000
There we have it. Oh we've begun. Hold on, let me get out my notes. Even though I've said this six times I still can't remember it.

3
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Welcome.

4
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:45,000
I'm glad we are recording knowing that Kaylee is going to the Philippines though. Yeah okay that helps because when I was on the bike in the rain I was like why?

5
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Because Kaylee is going to the Philippines. I can't find it. Okay.

6
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:12,000
And then he's like come on. How are you feeling? He's ready to go. I'm just ready to go. Let's go. I hate you, like I love you. I hate you, like I love you, love you, love you.

7
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:30,000
Okay. Yeah that deserves a standing ovation.

8
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Welcome to Fear of Stairs, Desi Films Decoded. The podcast where four friends from different backgrounds unlock the world of Desi cinema. I'm Winnie, the Desi who's never been to India.

9
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Hi, I'm Killy, who is from India. I, yep. I love films.

10
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,000
I'm Nicky, number one fan of Indian Daniel Radcliffe.

11
00:01:52,000 --> 00:02:04,000
Thank you. I'm Adam, I'm the Western film buff and today I learned that Nicky can fit in my shirt and Winnie will steal all my pants.

12
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:12,000
It was raining today just for listeners really hard and so Winnie and Nicky both came in soaking wet.

13
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:19,000
But it's okay. Turns out my clothes are unisex and all size so everyone can wear all my clothes, which is pretty nice.

14
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,000
It's funny that you keep saying my clothes because I'm pretty sure these pants are mine now.

15
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:29,000
I'm pretty sure. I will send you the link to buy them and I will take it back along with my backpack.

16
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:35,000
I just discovered that you can buy non-hot sweatpants in Thailand. Yeah, it's a real thing.

17
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:42,000
My pants are cozy but the weather is too hot here. It's called joggers. These are Adidas from Lazada so you can be sure that they're not really Adidas.

18
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Correct, but they're joggers and they're much better than sweatpants. They're comfy. You can exercise in them.

19
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:56,000
I used to be a big sweatpants guy. I used to wear up boots a lot too. I'm sure you do a lot of exercises in this Adam.

20
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:03,000
I used to be in like sleeping. Exactly. I think I've known you for almost two years. I don't remember the last time you went to the gym.

21
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Welcome to Arcadia. Yeah, sometimes I sit on my bike and go block up.

22
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:17,000
I am moving though next month and I'm going to be Killy's neighbor and I will go to the gym. We'll be gym buddies. Yep.

23
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:24,000
Yeah, Killy's going to be my personal trainer. I want to get ripped like he is. He totally hates that. Well, he loves it too.

24
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:34,000
When's the last time you went to the gym anyway? What's the day today? Today's a Tuesday. Oh, October 8th.

25
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Don't spoil the day, have a go at it. Okay, I think last Friday, Saturday. Not bad. Yeah. You're doing better than all of us I'd say.

26
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Yeah. Yep. We need to do our bike ride. See, we need to be consistent. We need to focus on exercising that keeps us happy, healthy.

27
00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:06,000
Yeah. And speaking of consistency, we are talking about Deli Belly today. Yeah, Killy, why did you choose this? Okay, I'm taking a break.

28
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:18,000
Fuck this. Bye. Guys, you didn't tell me you put me on the spot like this. Yeah, so Deli Belly. When the film came out, I really loved this film.

29
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:30,000
So I used to be a Guy Ritchie fan. Like, you know, like his Snatch, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. These films like really moved me.

30
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:40,000
I really loved the funny, quirky comedy action vibe. And then I saw Deli Belly and then I was like, oh, wow, this is like an Indian Guy Ritchie film.

31
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:49,000
So I really loved the vibe of the film. The musics were really cool for me. The cinematography. Like it was a good film for me back then.

32
00:04:49,000 --> 00:05:08,000
So when we started doing the, like I was curating the films for the podcast, I thought like, yeah, we should watch this film. This is like really a little different from traditional Bollywood that everyone knows.

33
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:24,000
It has music numbers, but it's not like Bollywood music numbers. It's kind of waved into the plot. And it's a really short film. Like how long is it? An hour and 40 minutes. It might be the shortest Indian film I've ever seen.

34
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Yeah, like many Hindi movies, right? It's not in English and requires people to watch with subtitles. But with this movie, right? It's primarily in English.

35
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:49,000
Yeah, 70% in English. They recorded it. They dubbed it in Hindi. Yeah. But they recorded it all in English. And we were watching, Kili was curating these movies before we started a podcast.

36
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:59,000
We started a podcast before because we just used to get together and watch Indian films. And this was one of the first movies Kili showed us. And because it was so not Bollywood, we got mad.

37
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:13,000
Because there's like no musical numbers. It was like nothing like we were promised. But going back and revisiting it after seeing the stuff we wanted to see, it is a nice break. But originally I was like, this is not at all what we signed up for.

38
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:32,000
Yeah, actually I feel the same way as Adam because I remember when we watched this, this is not your typical traditional Bollywood film. But after watching so many of those kinds of traditional movies and getting accustomed to the tropes and everything, this was very different.

39
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:48,000
Yeah, that's why I love it. So I just learned that. I mean, this is the writer Akshat Verma. Yeah, Akshat Verma. He actually wrote this while living in US. So I can get the inspiration and the environment he was in.

40
00:06:48,000 --> 00:07:02,000
So what Wikipedia says is like he was studying like some screenwriting course in UCLA. And this film was part of like he wrote this film as part of the screenwriting program.

41
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:18,000
And he kind of like, you know, he started doing other work and stuff. And then when he came back to India, he started pitching it for the producers and everyone was like throwing it away like they're not accepting the script.

42
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:32,000
I mean, by the time he already rewrote the script, like a few, few new drafts. But anyway, like it was not being accepted. And then finally he submitted to Aamir Khan's production house, which was relatively new at that point of time.

43
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:57,000
And then it was not picked up by them also. Then later on Aamir Khan's then wife, Kiran Rao, one day like the story goes like one day she was like, you know, checking all the piled up scripts in their office and suddenly came across the script and sent it over to Aamir Khan and they all liked the film.

44
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:13,000
And that's how Delhi Valley happened. Yeah. So I can really see a very fresh perspective in terms of with respect to Bollywood filmmaking. And then yeah, it was it was really cool for me that that's why I wanted to show this film.

45
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:18,000
It's very Western. Did the writer make other similar films to this?

46
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:35,000
He has made some he has wrote some other films. I haven't watched the film. So now actually like reading about the writer, I kind of want to watch his other film like he made a film called Kalakandi in 2018.

47
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:49,000
And he was also a director in that film. So I want to watch that film now. But the director of this film Delhi Valley, I have seen some of little bit of his later films and they're nothing like this.

48
00:08:49,000 --> 00:09:05,000
They are OK. But this was really good. So I think like these films really goes for initial credit. I think that the credit is due to the writer. Was the movie a hit? Yeah.

49
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:21,000
Once I will get that one thing I want to know just before we start getting the plot and stuff. One thing I do really appreciate and appreciate more to after watching the Indian films is that they're not rich in this film.

50
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:37,000
I remember when I went to India. I was just by myself and I was taking some like rickshaw tour scam thing by myself in Delhi and they took me to some like art place you know to buy actually you can see them on my wall over there.

51
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:53,000
But I went to go buy some like art and you know so I'm in this Indian store with all this Indian art and it's all like rich people. It's all like the royal family you know it's all these old paintings in India about like rich people doing stuff in the palace and stuff.

52
00:09:53,000 --> 00:10:11,000
And I was like this is boring. Do you have any art of non royalty because like I don't care about any of this. I never have really. But it reminded me a lot of the Indian films we see where it's just very affluent kind of exaggerated to a huge degree how affluent most of these are.

53
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:24,000
And I felt that like even rich people don't have at some point. So focusing on like shitty apartments you know and three guys living together and there's dirt and there's grime and like it's how people realistically live. I am drawn to that.

54
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:33,000
I like I've always liked that vibe a lot more. And so I do appreciate that we're not just like staring at rich people in mansions and stuff. That's a nice.

55
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:48,000
It's grounded and then we see that like they all the little living and it's very common like you know like they don't come from poor families because one guy has like I mean all of them are kind of white does white colored jobs right.

56
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:59,000
So they're not poor poor but it's like a bachelor pad. Yeah. They just don't have their own houses. They just leave their like shit because like they live paycheck to paycheck.

57
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:22,000
They can't really pay rent like they don't have money. They talk about money. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then then it contrasts with the the the girlfriend of that guy who comes who comes from a rich family who gives them gives him a car for as a gift for her engagement gift.

58
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:35,000
Yeah. So it has nice contrast in the class aspect and it's very grounded. It's very grounded. Yeah. At work you see them working a lot of the other movies you never see them working like they just have imaginary jobs where they don't do.

59
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:42,000
Yeah. So we have the movie playing in the background right now mainly for me because we watched this like a month ago and I don't remember most of the plot.

60
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:54,000
But I think it's funny because we just passed a scene where the gangster opens up the doll thing and there's shit and stuff diamonds. So let's get into the plot. Okay.

61
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:03,000
Right. So we have three characters right. We have the lead man who looks a lot like Daniel Radcliffe as we point it looks like Harry Potter. He looks like Indian Daniel Radcliffe.

62
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:18,000
It's very hard to unsee especially with the beard. Imran Khan as Tashi is like a journalist I think. And then he has two friends like Nitin the chubby looking guy who's always like sick and has to go to the toilet.

63
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:24,000
He's just in the movie not like a character trait.

64
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:34,000
He's not always sick so in the film he eats some sweet food. He's complaining like clumsy. Yeah.

65
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:49,000
Yeah. And then you have Arup as the afro looking guy the nerd. He's like a cartoonist I think. I think he has this obsession with this fictional character called Disco Fighter.

66
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,000
Yeah. Yeah. He looks like the guy from the IT crowd.

67
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,000
Yeah. What was his name?

68
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,000
Moss. Yeah.

69
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,000
There's Moss and Roy.

70
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,000
Moss has the glasses. Yeah.

71
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,000
What was the actor's name?

72
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:08,000
Richard Ayodhya. Yes. How's it?

73
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,000
So yeah they're like Adam mentioned there.

74
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:18,000
He's like now a very popular stand up comedy and like he did a bunch of shows in the US.

75
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:24,000
So he's like a proper established stand up comedian at this point.

76
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:31,000
And just really quick as Nicky's doing the descriptions. The fat guy that is sick all the time looks like a young Hagrid.

77
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,000
He totally does. Yeah.

78
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:39,000
You're a wizard Harry. Anyway not to digress.

79
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:44,000
So yeah what I love about these three characters like we mentioned before is that their chemistry is really good.

80
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:49,000
It feels very grounded compared to the other movies that we've covered.

81
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:59,000
So yeah they live in this like decrepit apartment and Tashi has this really like airheaded girlfriend.

82
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Who's rich. Who's rich. Her name is Sonia.

83
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,000
How many Sonias have we come across?

84
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:09,000
Can we add it to the tab of the time? I think it's every single movie we watch they say Sonia.

85
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:14,000
OK so first was the Jawan didn't have. OK then.

86
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,000
One of the female prisoners is probably named Sonia.

87
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,000
I mean most probably. And then what? Kavik Mishika Vigam.

88
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,000
That didn't have a Sonia but it has a song. Kedona. Kedona Viva.

89
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:30,000
And then there's so many Sonias.

90
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:35,000
Even if a Sonia is on the script they just mention Sonia. Sonia is like an ideal woman or something.

91
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,000
I haven't figured that out yet.

92
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:41,000
Yeah it's like a pretty woman but it's like the female equivalent of Raj is just one of the more popular women's names.

93
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:45,000
Like my best friend's name is Sonia and we know Sonia too. Yeah we do.

94
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,000
Yeah they're either spelled with an I or a Y.

95
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,000
Well the one that we know is Sonia with a Y.

96
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,000
What's a similar male name that's like that common?

97
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:57,000
I'd say Raj. Sanjay. And Sanjay too yeah.

98
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,000
But we don't have a song for Sanjay.

99
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,000
Well Kili you gotta change that.

100
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,000
Kili make your coming out song about Sanjay.

101
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,000
Alright go ahead.

102
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,000
So randomly we are like it opens with like an airport right?

103
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:22,000
And then Sonia apparently she just agrees to pick up a package from this like white Russian man.

104
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,000
Of course he's Russian.

105
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,000
The thing's Vladimir.

106
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,000
Vladimir and it's like a package. She doesn't know what it is right?

107
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:34,000
And then like she tasked I think it was Tashi to deliver it but then he couldn't.

108
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,000
So he gave it to his friend Nitin.

109
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:45,000
Nitin has like you know I think he stopped by to like take photos of their landlord having sex with a prostitute.

110
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,000
And then he eats like a snack and I think that's where we get the movie title from.

111
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,000
Deli Belly.

112
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:54,000
He gets sick. He's unable to deliver the package so he gives it to Arup.

113
00:15:54,000 --> 00:16:00,000
And he asks Arup to not only send the package but also send a stool sample to his doctor.

114
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:06,000
And Arup mixes those two up and that's when it got the attention of the gangsters.

115
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:17,000
And that's the whole premise of the movie where the gangsters start tracking them down and they have to like either deliver the package or like run away from them.

116
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,000
Basically I guess.

117
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,000
Yeah.

118
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:37,000
Like Killy said it's very clearly inspired by Snatch and other Guy Ritchie films where it's kind of like gangster hijinks and you know random things happen to screw up the plot and everything's interconnected and everything every time they try to do something it gets foiled.

119
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:43,000
You know they're all dressing up in hijabs and like stealing diamonds.

120
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,000
Like it really goes full Guy Ritchie by the end.

121
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:54,000
There's a lot of wacky stuff that happens and you kind of have to just suspend your disbelief and you know just roll with it.

122
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:59,000
And then also there's another character Tashi has this co-worker.

123
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:06,000
She's like this like older badass woman called Menaka I think.

124
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:11,000
Yeah and then like she invites him to this party.

125
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,000
There's like a whole subplot wasn't there?

126
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,000
Yeah.

127
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:20,000
You can tell that there's like some sort of flirtatious romantic tension.

128
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,000
They were having sex like.

129
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,000
Oh yeah yeah.

130
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,000
That's it.

131
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:33,000
Tashi and Sonia was having sex and he's such a workaholic so this lady was his co-worker.

132
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,000
Yeah.

133
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:47,000
Like a new intern or something like was shadowing him and then she calls him at the in the middle of that thing and then he stops having sex.

134
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:55,000
And picks up the phone thinking that it's a work call and he shows up because they are journalists like he thought like there is something some story or something.

135
00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:03,000
And he shows up to meet her and realizes that she just invited him to a party and he gets super pissed.

136
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,000
Now wait wait wait I just want to say they're not having sex.

137
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:11,000
He's performing oral sex on her which is the first time I've ever seen that in an Indian film.

138
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,000
Yeah.

139
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,000
Such an important distinction.

140
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,000
I think it's really worth noting because I'm going to circle back to that point.

141
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,000
Yeah.

142
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,000
Like he's eating her out.

143
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,000
Yeah.

144
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:24,000
And it's like I think it's for like for Indian cinema that is like groundbreaking.

145
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,000
They're pre-married.

146
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,000
Yeah.

147
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:31,000
Because they haven't been married yet and she is receiving oral sex and like that's huge.

148
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:39,000
And then even later in the film Aarup is like hey I went down on you to his ex-girlfriend and she gave me a blowjob and I went down on her.

149
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:44,000
Like they mentioned like female oral sex many times more than I've ever seen from any other Indian film.

150
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,000
I remember what he said.

151
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:51,000
Aarup said and because I am a 21st century man I have given her oral pleasure.

152
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,000
Right.

153
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,000
Also.

154
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,000
You can really tell this kid went to UCLA.

155
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,000
He's adopted the American way.

156
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,000
He learned well.

157
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,000
Yeah.

158
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,000
He was like you're just giving oral sex I think.

159
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:07,000
So like the off-pitch Indian films always had sex involved and all these things.

160
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:16,000
It's just like you know the funky lighthearted films never mentioned because they kind of I think wanted to cater to every audience possible.

161
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:21,000
So they kind of keep it like sex free hygienic kind of way.

162
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,000
And this film didn't bother.

163
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,000
It's like Young Bloods making new films.

164
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,000
Do you have ratings?

165
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,000
You brought like film ratings?

166
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,000
Yeah like R, PG-13.

167
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,000
Yeah this is adult.

168
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,000
It's adult.

169
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,000
It's adult.

170
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,000
What are the ratings?

171
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:42,000
So I think it's just adult U slash A that is under guidance of adult and universal.

172
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,000
Universal is like everyone.

173
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,000
U slash A is like a kid cannot walk in.

174
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,000
Has to have a guide like an adult with them.

175
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,000
And adult is adult.

176
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,000
So.

177
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,000
This is 18 plus adult.

178
00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:00,000
And Maneka, Maneka the co-worker too, she has a very psycho husband.

179
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,000
Yeah.

180
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:07,000
Who gets very jealous and threatens any guy she's with with a gun and violence I guess every time.

181
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:15,000
Yeah so he sees her talking to a guy and then he just freaks out that she's talking to a guy in their party.

182
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,000
Like this is super crazy.

183
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:27,000
And starts like first threatens Tashi and then punches Tashi and then Tashi just hits him with a flower pot.

184
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:36,000
Like a plant pot and then he just passes out and then later chases them with a car chasing him.

185
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,000
Which is actually not uncommon in Delhi.

186
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,000
Like rich people chasing and shooting.

187
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,000
So this is a common occurrence then you want to say.

188
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:52,000
When I was living in Delhi, not technically Delhi, Gurgaon around 2012.

189
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,000
We heard of a car chase.

190
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,000
It was not a big gangster or something.

191
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,000
I don't know.

192
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:06,000
I don't remember clearly but I remember the news that the same highway that we used to get to our office.

193
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,000
Like a crowded road.

194
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,000
It's not like in a dark alley or something.

195
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:15,000
There had been a car chase with guns involved and everything.

196
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,000
With rich people?

197
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,000
Yeah.

198
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,000
Only rich people will get away with that.

199
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,000
And also maybe like gangster reach.

200
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,000
Kind of like a mix up of both.

201
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,000
So yeah I have heard this kind of.

202
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,000
In Thailand, the rich people just drive through people.

203
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,000
They kill people and get away with it.

204
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,000
We have the famous rebel with Ferrari.

205
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,000
But one point about Maneka, the intern, is that her name.

206
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,000
But she is also the same actress that plays the mom in Never Have I Ever.

207
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,000
Which is a very popular American Indian Netflix show.

208
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,000
About this American Indian teenager who goes to school.

209
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,000
Have you guys not watched it?

210
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,000
It's actually quite similar.

211
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:54,000
So when I was watching it, I thought like I know this lady from somewhere.

212
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,000
Yeah.

213
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,000
But I thought she was just like a Hollywood actor.

214
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,000
Turns out that she probably had her beginnings in Bollywood.

215
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,000
Yeah.

216
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,000
Interesting.

217
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,000
I mean all these actors, again the whole movie is in English.

218
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,000
So all these actors are fluent in English.

219
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,000
Right.

220
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,000
So it means they like study abroad.

221
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,000
Like they are from some class.

222
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:19,000
Where I can see them going back and forth between Hollywood and India and stuff.

223
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,000
They are all like, even though they live in a crappy apartment.

224
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,000
They are still clearly like high school kids.

225
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:34,000
Actually she is like Indian descent but she was born in Tunisia.

226
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,000
Grew up in Pakistan, Brazil, Ireland.

227
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,000
Because she is a daughter of a diplomat.

228
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,000
So she kind of travels everywhere.

229
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,000
It's nice to see her in this role because in that show she is very much like a mom.

230
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,000
But with a widow as well.

231
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,000
Like her husband passed away.

232
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:53,000
So to see her younger and having like a romantic plot line.

233
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,000
Smoking cigarettes.

234
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,000
It's kind of cool.

235
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,000
So she smokes cigarettes.

236
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,000
She pursues Harry Potter.

237
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,000
What's the name of this?

238
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,000
Tashi.

239
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:02,000
Thank you.

240
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,000
She pursues Tashi.

241
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,000
Again, like these are a lot of...

242
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,000
When we first watched this together I was like, okay who gives a shit.

243
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:13,000
But after watching the other Indian films these things stand out a lot more.

244
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,000
Like the woman pursuing the guy.

245
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:20,000
Premarital sex and like oral sex and all that.

246
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,000
Like the smoking, the swearing.

247
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:26,000
All of this is actually pretty groundbreaking compared to everything else.

248
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:31,000
Even if you remember that scene, the hotel scene.

249
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:39,000
Like to escape from her husband they run into an elderly couple.

250
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,000
And then she pretends to have sex.

251
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:47,000
And then when she gets off of him, like he has a boner.

252
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,000
As a boner, yeah.

253
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,000
Like they show a boner and then he dies to tuck it in.

254
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:56,000
Yeah, there's a lot of risque moments like that.

255
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:02,000
I don't think you usually would see that in your usual films.

256
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,000
At least for Indian cinema, right?

257
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:09,000
If I was an Indian kid in college, when this came out I would be obsessed with it I think.

258
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,000
Yeah, that was me I think.

259
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:16,000
Can you imagine watching this film as an introduction to Bollywood films and thinking this is the way?

260
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:20,000
I think it was our first one and then the very next film is Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Ghum.

261
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:24,000
Yeah, because we got so mad at Kili we were like, we need musical numbers dude.

262
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,000
After this was Jaewon.

263
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,000
Jaewon.

264
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,000
No, no, no, no, no.

265
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:33,000
Jaewon was the first Bollywood Bollywood film.

266
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,000
Yeah, we got really mad at Kili and demanded songs and he delivered.

267
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:42,000
Yeah, I think we asked for the trashiest Bollywood film that fits all the tropes.

268
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:46,000
And we got Jaewon which is I think the biggest box office hit right now.

269
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,000
I know, but I've asked for a really trashy film Kili.

270
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,000
You have yet to give me that right now.

271
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,000
No, I gave one.

272
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,000
I gave one.

273
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,000
No, an objectively bad movie.

274
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,000
I'm not going to name that but we watched it.

275
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,000
Kabhi.

276
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,000
No, no, no.

277
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,000
What is that?

278
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,000
We'll talk about it.

279
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,000
We got one that we watched.

280
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,000
Oh yeah, that was pretty bad.

281
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,000
So bad it fell asleep.

282
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,000
We might get to that.

283
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,000
Yeah.

284
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,000
That was maybe too bad.

285
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:21,000
We took another birth time to finish the film.

286
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,000
She was born anew.

287
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:30,000
So yeah, Tashi was at a party with Menaka.

288
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,000
They pissed off Menaka's ex-husband.

289
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,000
They had a car chase.

290
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,000
They ended up in a hotel room together.

291
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,000
I think Vladimir was staying in that same hotel.

292
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,000
They came back to the same hotel.

293
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,000
They came back to the same hotel.

294
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:48,000
Vladimir gets chased by these mobsters, right?

295
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,000
These tough looking mobsters.

296
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,000
Played by?

297
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:56,000
Played by, I think it's, hang on, I got it right here, Vijay Raz.

298
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,000
He's very good in this.

299
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,000
He's actually a really good actor.

300
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,000
I really like him.

301
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,000
He was doing, before this, I've never seen him as a gangster.

302
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:10,000
He was doing comedy role as a comedic relief in a Bollywood film.

303
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:17,000
Like how we saw Johnny Lever in that film that we're going to discuss later.

304
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:21,000
So the guy who was making funny face and stuff like that.

305
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,000
Oh my God, he was doing that type of stuff?

306
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,000
Yeah, he was doing funny role.

307
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,000
Even that, Johnny Lever is one of the great actors.

308
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:33,000
So these great actors, they are good actors.

309
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,000
They have range.

310
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:36,000
They're versatile.

311
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:42,000
Versatile and they are not quote unquote good looking for Bollywood standard.

312
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:48,000
So they cannot make the cut to hero or hero's brothers or friend like that.

313
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,000
Or something like that.

314
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:54,000
So they kind of get this comedy relief character.

315
00:26:54,000 --> 00:27:00,000
But here he plays a really good gangster.

316
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:05,000
And actually, not just him, I think his henchmen also played really good roles.

317
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:09,000
They bounce off of each other, their chemistry, the things that they do.

318
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:16,000
And to show that they're not fucking around, they were interrogating Vladimir.

319
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,000
And then at one point they were beating him up like a bloody pulp.

320
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:24,000
And then at one point they stuck a stick of dynamite into his butthole.

321
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,000
And then light it on fire. It's a literal Looney Tunes skit.

322
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,000
It looked like Wile E. Coyote.

323
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:35,000
Because they stick a...

324
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,000
I don't think those pieces of dynamite literally exist.

325
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,000
But it's like those red cartoon pieces of dynamite.

326
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,000
They shove it up his ass and then light the stem on fire.

327
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,000
And the guy has to give a telephone number back when he remembered telephone numbers.

328
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,000
It's a very Looney Tunes-y scene.

329
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,000
They got the dynamite from Acme Industries.

330
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,000
For real.

331
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,000
For real Wile E. Coyote.

332
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,000
Yes, exactly.

333
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,000
If he was...

334
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,000
Came in a wooden box.

335
00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:59,000
Yeah.

336
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:05,000
So they were interrogating the Vladimir dude.

337
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:11,000
And then they find out that the package was sent out.

338
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:17,000
Well, Sonia gave the package to the three roommates.

339
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:22,000
And then we get this scene where Arup is hanging by a noose.

340
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,000
Is that what you call it?

341
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,000
Yes.

342
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:28,000
And then some more interrogation happens.

343
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:32,000
And then just to fast forward a little bit.

344
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,000
I think it's so funny in a way.

345
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:39,000
The thing that saved them was their own apartment.

346
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:43,000
There was a bunch of dancers.

347
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,000
What were they dancing?

348
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,000
I don't know what type of dance is that.

349
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,000
I think it was kak-tak.

350
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,000
One of the classical dance forms.

351
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:52,000
Indian classical dance form.

352
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,000
I think kak-tak.

353
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,000
Is it like tapping?

354
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,000
They just have tapping.

355
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,000
Yeah, there's a lot of tapping involved.

356
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,000
So they were doing that and that.

357
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,000
It broke.

358
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,000
The ceiling just fell on everyone.

359
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,000
Giving them an opportunity to escape basically.

360
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,000
So one thing, just really quick before I forget about that.

361
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:17,000
One thing I did notice while we were watching this is every single thing does have a payoff.

362
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:23,000
Even if you look at the intro where they just do shots while the credits are playing.

363
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,000
They literally show you everything.

364
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,000
They show you the toilet that's going to fall.

365
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,000
They show you the crack with the ceiling fan that's going to break through.

366
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,000
They have a payoff for everything.

367
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:37,000
Maybe he took that from his history in Indian films because American films are not that good at payoffs.

368
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:42,000
There's a few that are really good, Back to the Future, Die Hard and stuff.

369
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,000
They have payoffs for everything that they introduce.

370
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,000
But very few actually do it.

371
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,000
But most of the Indian films we watch are really good at payoff.

372
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,000
But they're usually arbitrary.

373
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:57,000
They'll just bring something up and it's like a do-sex mahena that it comes back later.

374
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:02,000
But this does bring the western naturalistic stuff with the Bollywood payoffs.

375
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,000
Which is pretty nice.

376
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,000
So they do set up everything in the beginning super clearly and then it all just plays out.

377
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:08,000
That is true.

378
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,000
There's a lot of things that they...

379
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,000
It's not just this movie.

380
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,000
All the other movies we covered.

381
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:24,000
There would be a single shot at something that is so insignificant, so insignificant, so minuscule.

382
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,000
And then it just happens to be really important to the story.

383
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:30,000
Even in the first scene they show that they have a water issue problem.

384
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,000
They show the water leaking out of the bucket.

385
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,000
To set up all the problems in the picture.

386
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:35,000
The bucket is not on the proper place.

387
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:39,000
So that's why he uses orange juice later on to wash his hands.

388
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,000
And they show you the orange juice in the beginning and then that pays off.

389
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,000
Every single thing they introduce pays off.

390
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:48,000
Which is very good for a college writer's first script as well.

391
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:52,000
That's why I think it must have been some history watching Indian cinema.

392
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,000
Because there's just not a lot of American films that pull that off very well.

393
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,000
Yeah.

394
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:00,000
So they escape the evil men.

395
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,000
And they find out that the package...

396
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,000
It's like a Matroshka doll.

397
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,000
I think that's what you call it, right?

398
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,000
A Russian doll.

399
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,000
It's filled with diamonds.

400
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:10,000
It's worth a lot.

401
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,000
And what's the first thing they do?

402
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,000
They just try to pawn the diamonds off.

403
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:16,000
To this pawn shop.

404
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:20,000
To this sneaky businessman guy.

405
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,000
Yeah.

406
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,000
And we get this weird segment where...

407
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,000
It's not weird, but it's just like...

408
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,000
It just kind of threw me off.

409
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,000
It's like all the characters started wearing burkas.

410
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:32,000
And then they tried to...

411
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,000
That's a Guy Ritchie thing.

412
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,000
That is literally stolen from Snatch.

413
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,000
Oh yeah.

414
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:40,000
Because they first sell them.

415
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:46,000
And then the guy, the jeweler knew that these people are dumb in this sense.

416
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,000
He sells them for half the price.

417
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,000
Yeah, they don't know the price.

418
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:54,000
So he just gives them some money.

419
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:59,000
And then when Tashi's girlfriend's life is on threat,

420
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,000
he comes back to buy those back.

421
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,000
And he says like...

422
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,000
Double the price.

423
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,000
And then...

424
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:09,000
So just to...

425
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,000
The diamonds are...

426
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,000
I did the math.

427
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,000
They sell the diamonds for 90 lakhs.

428
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,000
Which is 270,000 US dollars.

429
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,000
And they're actually worth double that.

430
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:23,000
So they had something worth over half a million dollars.

431
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,000
It's a lot of money.

432
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,000
Yeah.

433
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:30,000
Even though diamonds aren't real and they're fake and their value is fake and arbitrary.

434
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,000
So yeah, they robbed the guy.

435
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,000
They robbed the jeweler.

436
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:40,000
I think we get like a quick moment where, you know,

437
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:44,000
it's really clear that Sonya is not the love interest.

438
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,000
Yeah, their chemistry is not that solid.

439
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,000
He doesn't like rich people.

440
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,000
He does not like rich people.

441
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,000
Which is, again, something I had a problem with this guy for a while.

442
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,000
I don't want to hang out with rich people either.

443
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,000
They're boring and they're annoying.

444
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,000
And also they speed up his wedding, by the way.

445
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,000
So we have to say there's a time...

446
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:04,000
What do I...

447
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,000
Sorry, there's a deadline.

448
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:07,000
They're going to get married in a month.

449
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,000
So things are ramping up with Tashi and his girlfriend.

450
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:16,000
So he is staring at his future, which is getting married with this rich girl

451
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:17,000
who he doesn't really like that much.

452
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:21,000
And this family that just is going to put his whole life on rails.

453
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:27,000
He meets the quirky manic pixie girl who gives him adventure and fun

454
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,000
and they fall in love instead.

455
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,000
Yeah, so they have like...

456
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,000
I mean, they haven't fallen...

457
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,000
I mean, yeah, they're hinting towards that.

458
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,000
But yeah, they just...

459
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,000
Definitely both of them like each other.

460
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:43,000
They escaped in burkas and then they made out from the...

461
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:44,000
Which is hot.

462
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,000
Wait, they made out in the burkas?

463
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,000
Yeah, they made out in burkas.

464
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:53,000
And her husband, ex-husband at that point sees that from another car.

465
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:58,000
And he heard a rumor that his wife was a lesbian.

466
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,000
Yeah, it was implied.

467
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,000
Which is another thing I want to bring up.

468
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,000
They bring up lesbianism in this movie a lot.

469
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,000
And they don't treat it weird.

470
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,000
They treat it normal and that's pretty cool too.

471
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:14,000
They were treating it weird, like the party...

472
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:18,000
The husband was treating that ritual at the party but they looked down on them.

473
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,000
Yeah, they looked down on the lesbianism.

474
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:24,000
So they were like gossiping, like, do you know she might be lesbian?

475
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:28,000
That tone is like, you know, like hush hush, like it's dirty, like kind of thing.

476
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,000
But I'm saying they're looking down on the rich people in the movie.

477
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,000
They're looking down on the rich people for saying that.

478
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,000
So from the movie's perspective, lesbianism is normal.

479
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:40,000
And they're looking down on the people that think it's anything for their parents.

480
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,000
The film's positioning is pretty nice.

481
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:46,000
So that is nice that they bring up lesbianism because I've never seen that before either.

482
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,000
See, I think on Rewatch we noticed a lot.

483
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,000
Those things would be only in the art house films and then like, you know, like that.

484
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,000
What's the best lesbian Indian film?

485
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,000
What's the best lesbian Indian film?

486
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,000
Fire.

487
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:58,000
For research purposes.

488
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,000
Fire.

489
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:00,000
Download it.

490
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,000
We'll have to cover that.

491
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,000
It's a very serious film.

492
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:20,000
It's a story of a wife and sister-in-law staying under the same roof where the wife's husband kind of goes, what do you call it, like abstain because he was following a guru.

493
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,000
He doesn't have sex?

494
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,000
Yeah. So the guru asked him not to have sex.

495
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,000
Like he says that sex is dirty and stuff.

496
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:36,000
So he goes abstinent and then there is a love affair starts with his wife and the sister-in-law.

497
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:42,000
And then it's a very interesting film.

498
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:43,000
I guess we'll have to cover that.

499
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,000
We were just discussing sibling love earlier.

500
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,000
No, not siblings.

501
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,000
Like sister-in-law is in like, the car system in law.

502
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,000
I think it's like husband's brother's wife.

503
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,000
Yeah.

504
00:35:54,000 --> 00:36:03,000
So that she had like anthology, like not anthology, a series of film, like five elements like art, fire, water.

505
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:04,000
I think three she made.

506
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,000
I don't know if air exists or not.

507
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,000
Yeah.

508
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:08,000
Yeah.

509
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,000
Yeah.

510
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:10,000
Trilogy.

511
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:11,000
Yeah.

512
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,000
Trilogy.

513
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:17,000
The art was about the partition of India and this pretty bloody film.

514
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:23,000
Water was like sex racketing in temples and stuff.

515
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:24,000
Yeah.

516
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,000
See, this is the...

517
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,000
Oh, there's a subplot of Arup.

518
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,000
That was super crazy.

519
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,000
So he meets this Canadian.

520
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:45,000
Arup's girlfriend is with a Canadian Indian man who's like, so they kind of profile the Indian expats who this director or who the writer probably is.

521
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,000
The guy went to UCLA.

522
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,000
So he knows all these types of people.

523
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:57,000
These guys in Canada, but these rich assholes that speak perfect English and wear polo shirts and stuff.

524
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:04,000
And yeah, his mannerism, man, it's like, it's like so relatable.

525
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,000
Like we have seen this dude.

526
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:13,000
We have seen this dude like coming back from Western countries to India, like, and then behaving in that this way.

527
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,000
Like we have seen this dude.

528
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,000
He's just a coconut through and through.

529
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:17,000
Yeah.

530
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,000
He's like brown on the outside, white on the inside.

531
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,000
So, Winnie, do you know a lot of coconuts?

532
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,000
Yeah, I think I get called coconut quite a bit as well.

533
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:30,000
But I mean, they're mostly American Indians, so I don't really judge them because they were born and raised there.

534
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:31,000
That's a slow...

535
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,000
How do you feel when people call you that?

536
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:41,000
I mean, I don't know how people stereotype like whiteness, but I think the moment you're just like a bit more westernized, progressive Indian, they'll just call you a coconut.

537
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,000
And I guess for East Asians, Southeast Asians, they call you a banana.

538
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,000
You're yellow on the outside, white on the inside.

539
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,000
So the South Asian is a coconut.

540
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:53,000
This positioning is pretty divided.

541
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:54,000
You've never got called a banana?

542
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:58,000
I think that's kind of funny to be called a banana.

543
00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:59,000
I can take it.

544
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:05,000
So, I mean, but you would, I mean, a lot of these people went to school with you in America, right?

545
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,000
Yes, but they were mostly born and raised in America.

546
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,000
So like they're just like American by nature.

547
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:15,000
But I guess if you go, I don't know though, because then I would get called a coconut, right?

548
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:19,000
Because I was born and raised here and I went to the States when I was 17.

549
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,000
But do you feel white growing up in Thailand?

550
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,000
I mean, is that an appropriate term?

551
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,000
Because you were in Thailand.

552
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,000
Do I feel white?

553
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,000
I mean, when people call you coconut, I mean, that's what I'm saying.

554
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,000
Like in America or Canada, whatever makes sense because like they're trying to buy white people.

555
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,000
But like in Thailand, it's a little more hard to...

556
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:36,000
Yeah.

557
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:41,000
I would imagine it's harder to deal with because I'm not white, I'm not, I don't hang out in Southeast Asia.

558
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,000
Yeah, no, I definitely got called it some in America.

559
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,000
And when I came back, I think because I had adopted some American mannerisms.

560
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,000
So, yeah, but I don't know.

561
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,000
I think it's just like the moment you just have some more Westernized views.

562
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:52,000
No, for sure.

563
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:59,000
I have a lot of classmates who are Thai Indian, but then they go and study in the States and then they come back

564
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:05,000
and they develop like American accents and they act pretty white, kind of like you, Winnie.

565
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:12,000
I can always tell and especially with Thai people, because I guess I lived here for so long.

566
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:18,000
I can always tell if someone has lived abroad, even for a short time, they act different.

567
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:27,000
Like if you've lived here your whole life versus if you like studied abroad or like did work and travel for three months or whatever, I can always tell.

568
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:31,000
I think that contrast is pretty strong in this, in here.

569
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:40,000
It basically makes you a little more extrovert, I think, open to talking to people.

570
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,000
You talk more, you share your opinion.

571
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:48,000
You are not shy to give your point of view, like these kind of things.

572
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:58,000
But in India, like I mean, for me, being an insider, what I would say is out of the ticks.

573
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:04,000
That would be accent to some extent, like the English accent changes, which is pretty obvious.

574
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:13,000
But when they carry that air around them that I am better than you because I lived in US or UK or wherever.

575
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,000
So that's the thing that irritates people.

576
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:20,000
Of course, it will irritate people, you know, like they use like and they compare.

577
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:24,000
Oh, yeah, you know, like there it's like this.

578
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:31,000
But yeah, I know, like in India, you just I remember someone I'm not naming who exactly was this.

579
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,000
Like we we were eating like musambi.

580
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:41,000
Like this is one of the kind of lime lemon, like citrus fruit.

581
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,000
I forgot the English name. So he came.

582
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:51,000
He's like, oh, I have a tree full of like musambi back in my backyard, but no one eats them.

583
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,000
We just drink cartons of juice. It's just in the fridge.

584
00:40:54,000 --> 00:41:01,000
And that was the era when Americans were like maybe drinking more of carton juice instead of fresh fruit.

585
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,000
Now this is the style.

586
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,000
Bro, you're drinking bad juice.

587
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,000
I remember he made that no one drinks that.

588
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,000
The tree is full of fruit. No one even cares to pluck them.

589
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:16,000
Tastes like shit. I love artificial flavors.

590
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,000
I remember hearing this. I'm not naming who said that.

591
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,000
Do we know this person? Why do you keep not naming her?

592
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,000
You say like we know this person. Do we?

593
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,000
Is it me? No, no, no, you don't know.

594
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:30,000
Remember when Winnie kept saying how good Tang was and how she refused to eat real oranges?

595
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:31,000
Oh man, I love Tang.

596
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,000
She's like astronauts drink this. That's what we Americans have.

597
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:37,000
Tang is big in India too, I'm sure. Right?

598
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:40,000
I don't know Tang brand. Oh my gosh.

599
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:44,000
Maybe it's common now, but we used to have like we had different brands.

600
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,000
India has good fruit juice brands.

601
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:50,000
So anyway, so that was not one by the way.

602
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:57,000
These are the these are the takes that where they carry the air that oh no, we don't do that there.

603
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:08,000
Maybe so that's that's what makes them like that's when we like a like a kind of liberal left liberal people like who are progressive already.

604
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:15,000
So maybe like or not like we use the coconut term that back then like why you behaving so.

605
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:20,000
So it's an area of superiority. I can understand that's that's annoying for anyone.

606
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:28,000
But I think one thing that I don't really agree with is the accent thing because like even Brianna Bianca Chopra, for instance, she gets so much hate because she's constantly switching accents.

607
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,000
If she's like on American TV show, she'll have an American accent.

608
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:34,000
If she's back in India, the Indian accent comes out and people call her fake for that.

609
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,000
But that's just code switching. Right.

610
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:41,000
But that's code switching. Anyone who comes from a multicultural background does that.

611
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:52,000
Even even I do that like like when I went back to India, like after living in Thailand, which is like a pretty international crowd, like my English changed.

612
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:57,000
And then when I went back, I was talking and speaking English and people are like, oh, where's the text?

613
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,000
And I'm like, OK.

614
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:08,000
And then like after like if I leave long enough, like after a few days, my accent kind of reverse back a little bit.

615
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:12,000
And I had that nature in me, like I even when I learned even Hindi.

616
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:18,000
So I think Bengali is the only accent that like language accent that doesn't change for me because it's my mother tongue.

617
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,000
And then even when I speak Hindi, like the city I'm living.

618
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:29,000
So when I was living in Mumbai, I kind of was speaking Hindi like Mumbai girls like, you know, like they have different accents of Hindi everywhere.

619
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,000
So I kind of take the act, take up the accent.

620
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,000
But yeah, like this is common.

621
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:34,000
And then Brianna Chopra is an actor.

622
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:40,000
Of course, she uses her like English accent, like well, like American accent when she's in an American show.

623
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:44,000
When I go back to America, I drop into my real accent, which is like a Southern Appalachian.

624
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,000
Oh, my gosh, you have to demonstrate.

625
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,000
That's my normal voice.

626
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:50,000
I don't. This is all put on.

627
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:51,000
Seriously?

628
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:52,000
No.

629
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,000
Come on. I almost believe you there.

630
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,000
I could not change my accent if I tried.

631
00:43:56,000 --> 00:44:02,000
I know that when I speak to Thai people, I tend to be like it's code switching.

632
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,000
I just speak a more soft spoken.

633
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:07,000
I don't. I don't say a lot of English.

634
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:08,000
And when you speak in Thai, you act.

635
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:09,000
People just act different.

636
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,000
Like when you switch in any language, you act different.

637
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,000
Yeah, you just act different.

638
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,000
Yes, I become a proper 12 year old the moment I have to speak Thai.

639
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:17,000
Yeah.

640
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:18,000
Oh, okay.

641
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:19,000
It's the psychology behind it.

642
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,000
Oh, okay.

643
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:30,000
I mean, Nikki, you too, like you when you speak Thai, like it's just because because because the words mean different things and you have different social norms and stuff.

644
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,000
And you just slip into it with the language.

645
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:33,000
Yeah.

646
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:40,000
But I do love it when like Thai people go to study their masters in England, which I think is a pretty common trend and they come up with the proper British accent.

647
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,000
That didn't happen to me.

648
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:43,000
Yeah.

649
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:52,000
So the normal thing where most Thai people I know that went to England get an American accent because American accents are lazy British accents.

650
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,000
So I think no, it's no.

651
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:57,000
I mean, like we don't pronounce the R's as much.

652
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:58,000
You know what I mean?

653
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,000
All the speech is like lazier.

654
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,000
We have less pronunciation enunciation when we talk.

655
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:08,000
So like I do think a lot of Thai people when they go to England, they end up with an American accent because it's easier.

656
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,000
You don't have to say hard R's and stuff.

657
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:13,000
I think like like Nikki, I'm sure for you for me also, we just went to international school.

658
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,000
So we kind of had this accent.

659
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,000
But I think it's the Thais who maybe didn't speak too much English.

660
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:24,000
You know, they just kind of like picked up on a lot of English in England and they have like this very thick British accent.

661
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:25,000
It's weird.

662
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:28,000
It's just hard to like put that that accent with that face.

663
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,000
Can you do a British accent, Nikki?

664
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:31,000
Certainly.

665
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:32,000
Certainly not.

666
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:33,000
I cannot.

667
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:34,000
No, I cannot.

668
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:37,000
We need to do an episode where we just speak in British accent.

669
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:43,000
I remember doing British English impersonations like when I used to be drunk after watching Guy Ritchie films.

670
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,000
So you watched a lot of Guy Ritchie films.

671
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:46,000
I was a fan.

672
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:47,000
You love Guy Ritchie films.

673
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,000
I can do one British impersonation.

674
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,000
Please sir, may I have some more?

675
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,000
Oh, that was actually pretty good.

676
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:55,000
You know where that's from?

677
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:56,000
Bahoahua, huh?

678
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:57,000
Where is it from?

679
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:58,000
Oliver.

680
00:45:58,000 --> 00:45:59,000
Oliver Twist.

681
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:00,000
Thank you.

682
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,000
Oliver Twist has a film?

683
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:07,000
No, you know, I saw the Disney adaptation.

684
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:08,000
The Mickey Mouse.

685
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:14,000
Oh, there is a Bengali adaptation like in Black and White of Oliver Twist.

686
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:17,000
It's like from 40s or 50s film.

687
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,000
And I watched it as a kid.

688
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:20,000
It was a brilliant film.

689
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:21,000
I want to see that.

690
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:22,000
Yeah.

691
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,000
I need to find a print of that like good print.

692
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:28,000
A Bollywood twist on a classic tale or something.

693
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:29,000
I did see that.

694
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,000
We saw Devde.

695
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,000
We saw Heather.

696
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:34,000
Oh, yes.

697
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:38,000
But also, I think it was the last movie we saw.

698
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:42,000
I mentioned that a lot of these Indian plots are very Dickensian.

699
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:43,000
Yes.

700
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:48,000
Like very much in the vein of like a Dickensian like class structure.

701
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,000
This poor kid that gets adopted by rich people.

702
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:54,000
I saw like Dickensian or Victorian, I guess.

703
00:46:54,000 --> 00:47:00,000
That was a pretty common trope of 70s, 80s Bollywood.

704
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:06,000
That the poor kids growing up struggling and then like winning over the world, that kind of thing.

705
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:07,000
Yeah, it's just very common.

706
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:14,000
And also, I thought, I grew up reading Charles Dickens stories, the translation of those.

707
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:15,000
Probably everyone did.

708
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:16,000
Yeah.

709
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:17,000
Like in India.

710
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:18,000
So probably stuck with those themes.

711
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:22,000
Yeah, I give that to my niece and she was so angry with me.

712
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,000
She's like, who gives these kind of books?

713
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,000
They're sad.

714
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,000
They're sad books.

715
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,000
But the ends well.

716
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,000
All well that ends well.

717
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:39,000
So the problem with any of those is because it's again like it ends well because a rich person adopted you,

718
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:43,000
which is just not a solution or a hope that most people can have.

719
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:47,000
It's not a very realistic take on your situation.

720
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:53,000
I mean, I don't know the rights of Tradwife on TikTok shows that it does seem to be a pretty good solution.

721
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,000
They're falling pretty soon.

722
00:47:55,000 --> 00:48:01,000
I mean, I will say that always like women will not, they can do whatever.

723
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:07,000
They cannot please the Red Pill audience and get on with them ever.

724
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,000
They will keep on changing the bars.

725
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:14,000
So Tradwife was supposed to be a failure and it's failing pretty soon enough.

726
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:19,000
Like I thought it would take at least like four, three, four years or something, but it didn't even take that long.

727
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,000
This is like opening a Pandora's box.

728
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,000
I'm so tempted to go on.

729
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:34,000
There are so many stories of the Tradwife saying, hey, I dabbled in this and everyone was so awful that I had to get out or they were married in that situation.

730
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:37,000
It's like, yeah, because they hate you.

731
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,000
I mean, like what would you get out of this?

732
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,000
You cannot ever win with them.

733
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:44,000
So you can't.

734
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,000
Oh, I don't want to get into it.

735
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:49,000
You know I can go on and on for a long time about this.

736
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:52,000
Our brains are having deli belly right now.

737
00:48:52,000 --> 00:49:00,000
Like we will be started from Aarup's ex-girlfriend's fiance to like Tradwife.

738
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,000
Yeah, pretty soon.

739
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:03,000
That's cool.

740
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:07,000
Yeah, I'd say Sonia was probably a Tradwife or in this case, would it be Nitin?

741
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:08,000
Was that his name?

742
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:15,000
Nitin being a Trad husband because Sonia is really rich.

743
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:19,000
This guy has been hung on the TV for like a long time.

744
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,000
I think it's been a good 10 minutes.

745
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,000
He's just been with the news around his neck.

746
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:27,000
So Nikki loses his voice because of that right later on.

747
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:30,000
He loses his voice because I don't get the, when does he shave his head?

748
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:35,000
He shaves his head because his ex-girlfriend dumps him.

749
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:38,000
That's a very normal response to that kind of situation.

750
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:39,000
Well, I literally do that.

751
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:40,000
You guys have seen me do that.

752
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:44,000
I go through facial transition, like facial hair transitions through life changes.

753
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:49,000
So I'm wearing a mustache and where I grew out of mustache.

754
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:52,000
My last major life change, I was like stuck in Vietnam for a month.

755
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,000
That's when I shaved my head and grew a beard.

756
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,000
I do this constantly.

757
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:57,000
I do that.

758
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:01,000
I just do shave my head beard or like keep a beard.

759
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:02,000
That's it.

760
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:04,000
Sounds pretty similar.

761
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:06,000
Not on the hair part.

762
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:08,000
I haven't touched that part.

763
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:11,000
I was telling Adam I was not really liking his mustache look.

764
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:12,000
Nobody does.

765
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:16,000
And then I can remember if you had a beard, Kili, I mean, you had to like go on your Instagram and stalk your photos.

766
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,000
Because I'm like, no, I'm pretty sure Kili just has a goatee.

767
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:21,000
And Adam's like, no, he has a full beard.

768
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:22,000
It was really weird.

769
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:25,000
I was like, Winnie, that's just if he's looking directly at you.

770
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,000
I was like, that makes no sense.

771
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:30,000
She thought you only had front facial hair and nothing on the side.

772
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:31,000
Have you ever had that?

773
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,000
Just like the front?

774
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:39,000
No, so when I had front, I didn't have the mustache part, only the goatee part.

775
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,000
OK, so it was coming from somewhere.

776
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:42,000
Yeah.

777
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:45,000
I mean, the last time I grew out a mustache, it was really inconvenient.

778
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:46,000
Yeah.

779
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:47,000
Bring it back then.

780
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:48,000
No, not now anymore.

781
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,000
That time my face was like way leaner and stuff.

782
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:51,000
It was looking good.

783
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:52,000
Now it won't look good.

784
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,000
You know, I don't think so.

785
00:50:54,000 --> 00:51:00,000
I'm shaving as soon as my birthday is over, but every single person hates it and does not feel the same.

786
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:02,000
He looks nice though.

787
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,000
Yeah, but in Thailand I look old.

788
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:06,000
And they don't like me looking old.

789
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:10,000
In here, if I shave my face, they think I look like a baby.

790
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:15,000
I would say the prototype for being the guy is being old out here.

791
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,000
That definitely fits the criteria.

792
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,000
Not for the type that Thai people like though.

793
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:23,000
That's the prototype for the world's next best that come here.

794
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:30,000
Oh, I remember being told I look older when I shave my beard.

795
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,000
That's weird.

796
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:34,000
It's supposed to be usually the other way around.

797
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:36,000
Why do you look so old with baby face?

798
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,000
Now I wonder what you look like without the beard.

799
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:40,000
Is your face a bit funny under there?

800
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:41,000
No.

801
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,000
Why do you look so old with a shaved beard?

802
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:44,000
I don't know.

803
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,000
You get like a monocle every time you shave it.

804
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:49,000
I feel a little older when I shave my beard.

805
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:51,000
None of that makes sense.

806
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:54,000
We don't know that because we haven't seen it.

807
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:57,000
You're going to have to show live shaving.

808
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:01,000
No Shave November is coming up so I expect all of you guys to participate.

809
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:06,000
If I participated, I think I'd win all of you and I would just grow the best mustache.

810
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:08,000
Why do people do that?

811
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:12,000
Cancer, wait, I was going to say testicle cancer.

812
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:15,000
No FAP November is baby with that.

813
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,000
It is cancer awareness.

814
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:19,000
No Shave November is cancer awareness.

815
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:21,000
For prostate cancer.

816
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:27,000
No Shave November is an excuse for like bacon lover redditors to like take a photo of themselves.

817
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,000
There's no real purpose.

818
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:31,000
Like how is this related to cancer?

819
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:36,000
Because cancer people lose hair when they're going under chemotherapy, right?

820
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:40,000
So that's why I'm not shaving my hair.

821
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,000
I'm guessing that's why they shave.

822
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,000
I will see. I can grow hair.

823
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:50,000
When I first came to Thailand, I had a beard in my very first, like more than now.

824
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:59,000
But my very, very first job interview was at like some high school and they made me do like a teaching demo and I did that.

825
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:02,000
And then they just asked me, they're like, are you a terrorist?

826
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:05,000
I was like, I don't know. What do you mean?

827
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,000
What does that mean?

828
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:10,000
Like, is that a race of people? Is that like an ethnicity?

829
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:15,000
Like, am I just here to teach and then I'm going to blow the school up eventually because I can't help it?

830
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,000
But they asked that because I had a beard.

831
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:20,000
And to them, I just look like a terrorist.

832
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:25,000
And so I immediately went home and shaved and I did not grow a beard for like eight years after that.

833
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:28,000
Is that a race? Is that an ethnicity?

834
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,000
I'd say most right-wing Americans would say yes.

835
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:33,000
Well, you know, because they think I look like Arab or something.

836
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:34,000
Exactly.

837
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:37,000
And so they're just like they and I'm like, what am I supposed to say?

838
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:38,000
Yeah, I'm a terrorist.

839
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:41,000
It's nice to know that Thai people also have this point of view.

840
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:42,000
I did not know that.

841
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:44,000
I experienced racism too many.

842
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:48,000
This place, Arab racism sometimes lands on me.

843
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:53,000
Well, any white person listening to this, if you want to experience what racism feels like, come to Thailand.

844
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:57,000
Grow a beard. If you don't want to experience racism, just be clean shaven. You'll be fine.

845
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:58,000
Get a tan.

846
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,000
You'll get a job instantly.

847
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:03,000
Even for landing here.

848
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:07,000
Yeah, they just throw jobs at you and you get the keys to the city if you stay longer than a week.

849
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:11,000
All right. Anyway.

850
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:14,000
So we're OK.

851
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,000
So what's showing on screen right now?

852
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:19,000
Basically a commentary track.

853
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:21,000
They've escaped.

854
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,000
But I've already I've already covered that.

855
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:33,000
But I think the whole let's just the movie culminates into this gun, like a showdown, a gunfight between the police, the mobsters and the three roommates.

856
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:34,000
Yeah.

857
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:37,000
And like a gunfight ensues.

858
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:45,000
Right. And then like through the chaos of it all, it's just the roommates that survive.

859
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:46,000
Yeah.

860
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:52,000
And like everyone is getting the money from the diamond dealing and the whole thing.

861
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:53,000
Everyone is dead.

862
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:58,000
So then they're like there are no witnesses so they can get away scot free.

863
00:54:58,000 --> 00:54:59,000
It's that easy.

864
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:00,000
Yeah.

865
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:01,000
And they get the money.

866
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:02,000
And they get the money.

867
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:03,000
The diamonds and the money.

868
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:14,000
They don't get the diamonds. The diamonds fall from the window on the landlords head because he was with his brother who is a police who comes to the scene.

869
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:15,000
So they get the money.

870
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:16,000
They get the girl.

871
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:17,000
Yeah.

872
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:23,000
But I think it's not defined in like the in the plot, but like the character arcs, which again is like due to the payout.

873
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:25,000
There are everyone has a character arc.

874
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:26,000
Yeah.

875
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:33,000
And then he breaks up with her or like gets over her husband. The she well yeah.

876
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:34,000
Tashi no no.

877
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:38,000
Manika like learns to like get over and like leave her ex.

878
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:44,000
Tashi learns like what he wants in life and breaks up with his ex and doesn't get married.

879
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:51,000
Proto Hagrid who was blackmailing his landlord by taking photos of him having sex with a prostitute and brothel.

880
00:55:51,000 --> 00:56:01,000
Learns to love his landlord because the landlord saves his life so he removes the blackmail and decides to pay rent in a pro landlord statement in the movie.

881
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:06,000
And Arup quits his job that he hates because they have all the money.

882
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:07,000
He's all good.

883
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,000
But they all have some character arcs which is nice.

884
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:10,000
Yeah.

885
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:18,000
That's that's that's I like the I like the fact how Tashi and Sonia breaks up like how Hawaii.

886
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:21,000
How Hawaii Sonya Sonya actually breaks up with Tashi.

887
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:22,000
No Tashi breaks up.

888
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:24,000
No Sonya breaks up with Tashi.

889
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:25,000
No.

890
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:38,000
So what happens is like so so they that we are like they Tashi and the Manika kisses in the car kiss in the car wearing the burka.

891
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:48,000
And then the husband confronts Manika in that hotel lobby that I saw you with women so they are true they were true that you are a lesbian.

892
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:54,000
So that's when he comes to know that it was Tashi in a burka not another woman.

893
00:56:54,000 --> 00:57:07,000
So that's when he that's when Sonya was standing there after the all the feud and all the hassle they have gone through because of Sonya took up a smuggling thing unknowingly or unknowingly and was in life threatening situations.

894
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:20,000
So they literally dealt it on their life like risk their life to save Sonya and then Sonya slaps Tashi in front of everyone just for kissing another girl.

895
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:21,000
And that's correct.

896
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:25,000
That's when but that's that.

897
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:26,000
Oh yeah.

898
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:29,000
That's why Tashi breaks up with Sonia Sonya.

899
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:37,000
Later on afterwards he actually says they're like she didn't break up with you and he's like no I broke up with her.

900
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:38,000
Yeah.

901
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:39,000
She wanted to stay with him.

902
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:40,000
Yeah.

903
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:42,000
I'm glad you walked yourself through that answer though.

904
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:44,000
Yeah he like just walked into the answer.

905
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:46,000
I didn't just say I didn't need to say anything anyway.

906
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:48,000
Oh no.

907
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:50,000
She got punished now.

908
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:55,000
Yeah and then what was his name Nitin keeps the money.

909
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:56,000
Nitin thank you.

910
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:58,000
Yeah he keeps the money.

911
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:00,000
He wants to go after Sonia.

912
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:01,000
Yeah.

913
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:03,000
She's hot man.

914
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:05,000
That's what he said because she's hot.

915
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:07,000
Yeah no shame.

916
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:16,000
But then you know you get your usual ending you know Tashi just kisses Minaka in this weird like chasing after the car scene.

917
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:17,000
It's kind of cute.

918
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:24,000
It's a car going and he's like blocks her view and almost kills pedestrians but it's a cute moment.

919
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:36,000
And that's it that's all that's that's that's all we get from the film and then you get to this nice little musical number at the end with Disco Fighter and who do we have it's Amir Khan.

920
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:41,000
He's he's PK you know he's just playing as a Disco Fighter.

921
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:51,000
Which by the way I forgot to mention is you know the scene when Aroob's girlfriend breaks up with him we get him fantasizing as Disco Fighter right.

922
00:58:51,000 --> 00:59:01,000
And one of the things that I really enjoyed in that scene that always gives me a laugh gives me like laughs and all that is that I think they were like parodying like soap operas.

923
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:18,000
Yeah because they were doing like a lot of like camera zoom in camera zoom in and then like people were fainting and then like I think the mother slaps the girl and then she like has this extended reaction where she just run like collapses in front of like.

924
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:21,000
Yeah that was cool that was pretty neat.

925
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:22,000
That was very nice.

926
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:23,000
Yeah.

927
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:28,000
And they were referencing so Disco Fighter I think it's kind of a reference to Meet Hoon.

928
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:37,000
Meet Hoon was one of the Bollywood actors who is to who did Disco Dancer film.

929
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:44,000
So the disco music like was very popular to the in Bollywood in 70s and 80s.

930
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:49,000
Maybe we'll discuss it about discuss about it on some other films.

931
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:56,000
So this is kind of a homage to this kind of film but I don't I can't I can't explain the chest hair though.

932
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,000
Like he realized that yeah.

933
00:59:58,000 --> 00:59:59,000
It's Austin Powers.

934
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:00,000
Yeah.

935
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:05,000
So yeah to the final final final dance number is cool.

936
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:08,000
Also he says like Jo Chow Ka Udte Huye Jai Usse Chakka Kehte.

937
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:13,000
So it's like the cricket like it's a joke but I can't explain.

938
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:16,000
I will bring this up too while we're doing the translations.

939
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,000
They do say sister fucker a lot.

940
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:19,000
Yeah.

941
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:20,000
Panchot.

942
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:23,000
Yeah they use a lot of a lot of slurs.

943
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:33,000
So even the car swords made it adult as well like if you put so many car swords in a film like it would be an adult film in India for sure.

944
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:34,000
Yeah I mean any film.

945
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:39,000
But sister fucker is one I haven't heard often.

946
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:44,000
Do they mean they're fucking their own sister or someone else's sister.

947
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:47,000
You can always fucking someone else's sister I guess.

948
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:49,000
It can mean both actually.

949
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:51,000
I mean what does mother fucker mean.

950
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:53,000
It's your fucking your own mother.

951
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:55,000
It's it's it's it's an essence.

952
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:59,000
So when you really say someone do you even think of that.

953
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:00,000
I don't think so.

954
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:01,000
I don't think about.

955
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:02,000
Yeah.

956
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:03,000
It's just like it's not neutral.

957
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:08,000
You motherfucker like do you think really that they're fucking their mother or something.

958
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:11,000
That is super weird because most of the time we know their mothers.

959
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:19,000
But this is one of the most popular cuss words in Hindi like even if you don't know Hindi or Punjabi usually one of the first words you learn is Panchot.

960
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:22,000
In my school that's what I learned.

961
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:24,000
There was like a chant you know.

962
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:25,000
Panchot.

963
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:26,000
Panchot.

964
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:27,000
Panchot.

965
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:28,000
Oh that song.

966
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:29,000
Oh my god.

967
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:31,000
It gets passed around my school all the time.

968
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:35,000
Oh yeah that used to be passed around in my school as well.

969
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:36,000
Panchot.

970
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:37,000
Panchot.

971
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:38,000
Panchot.

972
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:39,000
Sister fucker motherfucker sister.

973
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:40,000
It was a very very popular song.

974
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:41,000
We will play that song.

975
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:42,000
Yeah.

976
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:43,000
After this.

977
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:44,000
We will play this song.

978
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:45,000
So so so this this this.

979
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:46,000
It's a hit record.

980
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:47,000
After we stop recording.

981
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:48,000
Okay.

982
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:49,000
So this film has the song like you remember the song.

983
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:50,000
I don't know.

984
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:51,000
Oh this song that this song was not in the film.

985
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:52,000
Bhag Bhag Nikke Bose.

986
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:53,000
Nikke Bose.

987
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:54,000
Nikke Bose.

988
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:55,000
Bhag Bhag Nikke Bose.

989
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:56,000
Yeah the chase.

990
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:57,000
The chase.

991
01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:58,000
The chase.

992
01:01:58,000 --> 01:01:59,000
The chase.

993
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:00,000
The chase.

994
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:01,000
The chase.

995
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:02,000
The chase.

996
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:03,000
The chase.

997
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:04,000
The chase.

998
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:05,000
The chase.

999
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:06,000
The chase.

1000
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:07,000
Yeah yeah the chase.

1001
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:08,000
During the chase.

1002
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:09,000
It plays during the chase right.

1003
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:10,000
It was playing during the chase.

1004
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:11,000
Yeah.

1005
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:15,000
So they play or play these words like Bhag Nikke Bose.

1006
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:17,080
Nikke Bose can be someone's name.

1007
01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:19,040
So they are going to run Nikke Bose.

1008
01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:23,800
But when you say continuously Bhag Nikke Bose Nikke Bose Nikke Bose.

1009
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:27,280
It sounds like Bhosrikay Bhosrikay is a scarce word.

1010
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:29,400
So they are actually word playing on that.

1011
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:38,160
There was another saying Tere Pyar Ne Dilko Kya Diya Puncture like your love has punctured

1012
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:39,160
my heart.

1013
01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:43,200
But the way they say puncture it sounds like Panchot.

1014
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:47,440
So they do these things in this film a lot like in the songs a lot.

1015
01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:48,440
It's edgy.

1016
01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:50,000
Yeah it is fun.

1017
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:51,000
It's fun.

1018
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:54,680
We should I think we didn't have much of the songs like that.

1019
01:02:54,680 --> 01:03:02,680
The songs from the film album like music album in this film properly like how Bollywood film

1020
01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:04,440
has music right.

1021
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:09,300
So they might be played a little bit of a little bit part of it during the film.

1022
01:03:09,300 --> 01:03:11,560
But yeah the music's are really nice.

1023
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:13,240
Music's are really nice.

1024
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:14,240
Yeah.

1025
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:17,240
Before we close out against Deli Belly.

1026
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:22,320
Does anyone have any Deli Belly stories?

1027
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:23,320
You've been to Delhi Adam.

1028
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:24,320
I have actually.

1029
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:26,640
So why don't you tell us yours.

1030
01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:27,640
Yeah.

1031
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:36,240
So first of all I'll say this too.

1032
01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:40,040
So I studied in Ethiopia for three months and I was so worried about that of getting

1033
01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:41,720
sick that I ate Pepto Bismol.

1034
01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:44,920
I ate it like multiple times a day to avoid it.

1035
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:46,800
So I was just very constipated for three months.

1036
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:49,200
But I was the only one that never got sick on that trip.

1037
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:51,880
And I also had a beer every single day.

1038
01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:54,400
I'm just saying if anyone's traveling it helps.

1039
01:03:54,400 --> 01:04:04,120
But going to India I can't like remember any horror stories except you know the bathrooms

1040
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:05,120
suck.

1041
01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:06,120
Yeah.

1042
01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:09,920
So if you're going to have it like I am very spoiled in Thailand because the toilets are

1043
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:14,440
amazing and they have like bomb hoses or bidets and it's like clean.

1044
01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:18,320
But I've been in very very bad Indian bathrooms or like.

1045
01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:19,320
Indian toilets sucks.

1046
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:20,320
They're really bad.

1047
01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:21,320
Do they not have bidets out there?

1048
01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:22,320
They're almost non-existent.

1049
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:24,560
First thing is almost non-existent.

1050
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:31,800
You have to really cry hard to find a pay and use toilet in the city.

1051
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:32,800
And they suck.

1052
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:33,800
They suck.

1053
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:34,800
And like they're always.

1054
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:35,800
It's almost like American toilets.

1055
01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:36,800
American toilets are really bad too.

1056
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:37,800
But these are like they're always broken.

1057
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:38,800
Like water's not working or the door doesn't close.

1058
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:39,800
Yeah.

1059
01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:40,800
Like you're not going to be able to flush.

1060
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:41,800
It's going to be very embarrassing.

1061
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:42,800
Everyone can hear you or smell.

1062
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:43,800
It's not fun.

1063
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:44,800
And you will get an upset stomach just because you're not going to be able to do anything

1064
01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:45,800
with your body.

1065
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:46,800
So I'm like I'm going to go to the bathroom.

1066
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:47,800
I'm going to go to the bathroom.

1067
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:48,800
I'm going to go to the bathroom.

1068
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:49,800
I'm going to go to the bathroom.

1069
01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:52,840
And you will get an upset stomach just because that's just the food.

1070
01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:54,560
I mean you just will.

1071
01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:56,640
Yeah I had also like while living in.

1072
01:04:56,640 --> 01:05:01,400
I mean I had of course I had many times in India because I lived in India.

1073
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:10,680
But like in Delhi I had like in a span of 11 months, 10, 11 months I was living there.

1074
01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:13,440
I had my share of teddy bellies.

1075
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:15,840
God forbid you're on the train too.

1076
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:16,840
Oh yeah.

1077
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:17,840
Oh yeah.

1078
01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:18,840
Train toilets.

1079
01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:19,840
Oh my god.

1080
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:20,840
That nauseating.

1081
01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:21,840
Yeah.

1082
01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:22,840
Damn.

1083
01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:23,840
Yep.

1084
01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:26,840
I just went to a dark place.

1085
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:29,840
Do you have a story?

1086
01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:32,840
I have many stories.

1087
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:34,840
Oh my god.

1088
01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:36,840
Sharing poop stories.

1089
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:38,840
Yeah please go for it.

1090
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:47,760
Okay so yeah this was like aircon to like a first class almost first class compartment.

1091
01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:53,400
So like pretty nice compartments and then at night like I had to go to the toilet and

1092
01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:59,120
I went to the toilet and I see like a lump of shit on the floor.

1093
01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:01,760
Like the pan is just next to it.

1094
01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:05,680
Like whoever shat didn't shat in the pan.

1095
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:10,000
They shat on the floor.

1096
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:11,000
And it's not diarrhea.

1097
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:15,240
It's not diarrhea that like they couldn't stop it or it was a medical emergency.

1098
01:06:15,240 --> 01:06:20,200
No it was like proper like good looking clump of poop.

1099
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:22,080
I love that you analyzed it.

1100
01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:26,560
Well no because someone had to avoid the toilet on purpose or they barely got there in time

1101
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:27,560
or they didn't get there.

1102
01:06:27,560 --> 01:06:34,160
No it was not like so when you walk in and you are shitting yourself it has a like you

1103
01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:35,160
know a bad taste right.

1104
01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:36,800
It's a trail of it.

1105
01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:37,800
Like it's not.

1106
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:39,280
It's like properly positioned.

1107
01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:45,160
Like they sat down next to the toilet and shat there.

1108
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:54,000
And then I saw in the aisle as well.

1109
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:55,000
Someone shat in the aisle?

1110
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:56,000
Yeah.

1111
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:57,000
Like in front of people?

1112
01:06:57,000 --> 01:06:59,520
Maybe in the middle of the night when no one was looking.

1113
01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:00,880
I don't know when.

1114
01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:04,440
But that was the most unreal thing I have seen.

1115
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:14,160
I don't know why a person would have to do that in what kind of circumstances.

1116
01:07:14,160 --> 01:07:16,080
And you're still blaming someone else for this?

1117
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:21,440
You're still trying to.

1118
01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:23,440
So yeah.

1119
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:25,160
Nikki?

1120
01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:32,600
Yeah I've seen I think it was a Chinese family at Siam Paragon.

1121
01:07:32,600 --> 01:07:39,280
They would hold their child over the wastebasket on the fifth floor near the ice cream shop

1122
01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:42,880
that I like to go eat.

1123
01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:48,240
I've also had like stories like so I guess you know I might get flak for this but I'm

1124
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:50,320
spoiled with toilets.

1125
01:07:50,320 --> 01:07:56,320
Like they're like if we're like out on a gas station somewhere in Thailand and they don't

1126
01:07:56,320 --> 01:07:59,680
have those bomb guns I wouldn't like I'm not going to use them.

1127
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:00,680
I don't want to touch.

1128
01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:01,680
I don't want to go in the toilet.

1129
01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:05,240
You don't want to use that mug like thing.

1130
01:08:05,240 --> 01:08:09,800
So like the one where you have to squat I usually tend to avoid those.

1131
01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:18,800
But one situation where I could not avoid those was in high school we were as Thai we

1132
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:25,520
were required to go to military training for like two three years.

1133
01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:31,560
And the final test was that we have to go out to this military camp for like a week

1134
01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:34,440
or so and they don't have functioning toilets.

1135
01:08:34,440 --> 01:08:36,920
You'd have to only have the ones where you have to squat.

1136
01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:40,840
And like because we're from an international school me and my classmates we don't want

1137
01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:42,280
to use those.

1138
01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:46,240
So what we tried to do because like usually when you're out in the wild right you're forced

1139
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:51,920
to go out in the open like out in the jungle and just do your business.

1140
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:53,240
We don't want to do that right.

1141
01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:59,800
So every time we go back to home base we always have to like quickly drink some soy milk have

1142
01:08:59,800 --> 01:09:02,600
the runs like drink some Coca Cola.

1143
01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:08,160
We would eat a lot of food just so that we could expel all the stuff we had.

1144
01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:13,640
And then like everyone would be rushing towards the headquarters like toilet just to let

1145
01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:14,640
it all out.

1146
01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:15,640
It was not a good time.

1147
01:09:15,640 --> 01:09:16,640
How long was that?

1148
01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:17,640
Oh that was when I was 18.

1149
01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:18,640
I'm surprised.

1150
01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:19,640
I mean how long were you camping for?

1151
01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:20,640
Oh camping for like a whole week.

1152
01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:25,920
So we were doing that for like for like a long time.

1153
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:30,560
And then it's like I think the kid the like we were we were grouped up with like the Thai

1154
01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:35,440
school kids like the really super Thai and they were making fun of us.

1155
01:09:35,440 --> 01:09:37,440
We were getting bullied here and there.

1156
01:09:37,440 --> 01:09:38,440
Yeah of course you would get.

1157
01:09:38,440 --> 01:09:39,440
It was not a good time.

1158
01:09:39,440 --> 01:09:42,000
I'm surprised you did the military.

1159
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:45,120
All the international school kids I know it just kind of paid their way out of it.

1160
01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:48,480
Some of them paid their way out but like my parents wanted me to experience something.

1161
01:09:48,480 --> 01:09:55,400
I remember like doing like I used to be very toilet shy and like you know like not go to

1162
01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:58,600
any random toilets and stuff.

1163
01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:00,400
And it has to be super clean and everything.

1164
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:02,320
It all changed when I started trekking.

1165
01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:06,120
You don't have much of a choice.

1166
01:10:06,120 --> 01:10:10,440
No actually like when I am in the wild I'm okay.

1167
01:10:10,440 --> 01:10:13,920
I'm better off like you know like I actually can do it.

1168
01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:14,920
It smells better.

1169
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:18,320
I mean yeah it's just in the wild like no one is looking at you.

1170
01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:20,200
It's just nature.

1171
01:10:20,200 --> 01:10:23,440
Just do your business and be done with it.

1172
01:10:23,440 --> 01:10:28,600
But before like going like starting the trekking when you are the base camp and like in the

1173
01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:33,720
smaller towns and then like these are not like we would book like a proper hotel or

1174
01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:39,080
something like you know maybe like some small little like rooms and stuff like that.

1175
01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:44,480
So those toilets and on the street and stuff like that like when we had started using pay

1176
01:10:44,480 --> 01:10:52,320
and use toilet yeah that's when it kind of introduced me to the reality of India.

1177
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:53,320
Indian toilets.

1178
01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:54,320
Yeah.

1179
01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:56,000
So we actually have a friend in our friend group.

1180
01:10:56,000 --> 01:11:00,040
Now I won't name names but like till today he's a full garden dog but till today he cannot

1181
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:03,040
use the bathroom outside for like number two right.

1182
01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:07,560
So there's been times that we've been hanging out like at the bar we always go to and like

1183
01:11:07,560 --> 01:11:10,800
he'll just go home use the bathroom and come back.

1184
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:15,920
I don't think he's ever gonna grow out of that one.

1185
01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:19,080
When I was a kid, it's still soup now.

1186
01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:22,360
I have a really hard time if the bathroom door doesn't lock.

1187
01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:23,920
I need the door to lock.

1188
01:11:23,920 --> 01:11:24,920
Well of course.

1189
01:11:24,920 --> 01:11:30,240
Oh yeah but there's some toilets where like the bathroom door doesn't lock and some homes

1190
01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:32,440
in America where the door doesn't lock.

1191
01:11:32,440 --> 01:11:33,440
I don't know why.

1192
01:11:33,440 --> 01:11:36,980
I don't know why people do this in families and stuff but there's this friend's house

1193
01:11:36,980 --> 01:11:41,080
I used to go to all the time when I was a kid and they had a bathroom door that just

1194
01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:42,160
didn't lock.

1195
01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:45,880
And so I would just as a tiny kid be like trying to prop the door closed.

1196
01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:50,200
I just so freaked out that someone would come in and like see my little dick or something.

1197
01:11:50,200 --> 01:11:54,160
Like I don't know but like I just kept pissing my pants at this friend's house and they eventually

1198
01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:58,000
just kicked me out and like this dude can't come over here anymore.

1199
01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:02,600
And like it was my parents were like why the fuck do you keep pissing at this one kid's

1200
01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:03,600
house?

1201
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:05,320
Like you don't piss your pants any other time.

1202
01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:06,320
Like ever.

1203
01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:10,080
Like it's just here but it's because the door doesn't lock and I freak out when that happens.

1204
01:12:10,080 --> 01:12:11,080
I need the door to lock.

1205
01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:15,760
I think what's worse is like American restrooms are they always have a gap between the door.

1206
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:16,760
That too.

1207
01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:18,080
It's I don't know like a two inch gap.

1208
01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:19,760
Yeah it makes it so uncomfortable.

1209
01:12:19,760 --> 01:12:21,920
So if someone can peep into it.

1210
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:22,920
You yes.

1211
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:26,040
Absolutely if they put their eye there they can see everything.

1212
01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:29,520
You can definitely kind of like see like a silhouette of a person in there.

1213
01:12:29,520 --> 01:12:33,840
I can't never be like I'll always be on the edge.

1214
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:38,440
On top of that they have no bum guns so like I would compare that to I've never been to

1215
01:12:38,440 --> 01:12:39,440
India but.

1216
01:12:39,440 --> 01:12:42,440
Yeah so you can buy those get portable bum guns now.

1217
01:12:42,440 --> 01:12:44,360
You're not going to walk around with that all day?

1218
01:12:44,360 --> 01:12:45,360
Yeah in your backpack.

1219
01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:48,840
You have like wet wipes I think that's the closest.

1220
01:12:48,840 --> 01:12:54,560
So what I should do like when I was traveling in France like I would take a small water

1221
01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:59,280
bottle like the use and throw like the drinking water bottle.

1222
01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:00,280
Pokes and holes.

1223
01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:05,440
No no fill it up with yeah like fill it up with yeah do something and maybe squeeze it

1224
01:13:05,440 --> 01:13:10,480
or something like fill it up in the wash basin and then go to the toilet use it and throw

1225
01:13:10,480 --> 01:13:11,480
it in the trash.

1226
01:13:11,480 --> 01:13:12,480
How do the buckets work by the way?

1227
01:13:12,480 --> 01:13:13,480
Do you just splash it up into you?

1228
01:13:13,480 --> 01:13:14,480
No no you have to use your hand I think.

1229
01:13:14,480 --> 01:13:21,080
Wait I thought the buckets are not for your bum it's to it's to flush right?

1230
01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:22,080
It's like when they don't have.

1231
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:23,080
Then what do you use for your bum?

1232
01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:26,480
There is no other water supply in those toilets.

1233
01:13:26,480 --> 01:13:27,480
Toilet paper like Americans?

1234
01:13:27,480 --> 01:13:30,480
No for the Thai classic Thai ones with the.

1235
01:13:30,480 --> 01:13:31,480
No I think.

1236
01:13:31,480 --> 01:13:34,960
So I know the women's restroom have that as well but I always just thought it was for

1237
01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:38,480
like flush because there's usually no flush like you have to just kind of pour the water

1238
01:13:38,480 --> 01:13:39,480
in.

1239
01:13:39,480 --> 01:13:43,280
Yeah but there is no water for your bum I say like how do you clean yourself then?

1240
01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:44,600
This is new to me.

1241
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:48,320
I was taught when I was a kid so we didn't have bum guns so it's hand.

1242
01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:51,920
Oh so that's what you use you use the bucket and then you just splash it out?

1243
01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:52,920
Yeah we wash it down with your hand.

1244
01:13:52,920 --> 01:13:53,920
But you wash it out with your hand though.

1245
01:13:53,920 --> 01:13:57,920
I don't know like you scoop your hand in the water like in the water.

1246
01:13:57,920 --> 01:14:01,520
No no no you put we are getting into details.

1247
01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:08,800
So you put pour the water on your bum and while you pour the water you wash it with

1248
01:14:08,800 --> 01:14:12,880
your left hand and then later on you use the soap to clean your hand.

1249
01:14:12,880 --> 01:14:14,920
Oh that is something wow.

1250
01:14:14,920 --> 01:14:19,000
So before I went to the States I was really worried about this bum gun that was like my

1251
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:20,000
biggest concern right.

1252
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:24,000
So you had bum guns since when you were a kid?

1253
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:26,000
Yeah Thailand it's like everywhere.

1254
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:27,600
Like since like 90s.

1255
01:14:27,600 --> 01:14:30,440
Yes yeah we've had bum guns since forever.

1256
01:14:30,440 --> 01:14:35,040
I think we faced those squatty toilets with the basins only when we go to the downskirts.

1257
01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:42,160
Like in my home it was in 2000s and then before also like it's still you'll find so many toilets

1258
01:14:42,160 --> 01:14:46,640
like in Thailand like in Thailand a lot of toilets like you were saying that has the

1259
01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:47,640
water bucket.

1260
01:14:47,640 --> 01:14:51,040
But that's only when you leave like Bangkok and try to go to like the more rural areas.

1261
01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:55,080
Yeah yeah but still that's it's still Thailand right there's still real people living there.

1262
01:14:55,080 --> 01:15:00,560
So it's like so we still have those kind like we I even still have toilet like so that's

1263
01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:04,760
how we were potty trained like you know like you have to clean your.

1264
01:15:04,760 --> 01:15:05,760
Yeah.

1265
01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:06,760
Like that's the potty training.

1266
01:15:06,760 --> 01:15:08,160
I never learned I never knew how to use those.

1267
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:13,680
It's like pour the water and clean with your hand simultaneously and then wash your.

1268
01:15:13,680 --> 01:15:16,840
I never even knew it was for that purpose the water does not even look clean I really

1269
01:15:16,840 --> 01:15:17,840
just thought it was for flush.

1270
01:15:17,840 --> 01:15:22,040
Oh so when I use it that like I don't use the water that's already there usually they

1271
01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:23,040
have a tap.

1272
01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:24,040
Oh okay.

1273
01:15:24,040 --> 01:15:26,920
So I will not go where there is no tap.

1274
01:15:26,920 --> 01:15:31,280
I will go only if there is a tap so that I can get the fresh water because I can't because

1275
01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:38,280
one time there was in one of the park I went like here in Thailand like naturally like

1276
01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:44,160
reserve forest or natural park and yeah and there were little frogs inside like I could

1277
01:15:44,160 --> 01:15:49,520
hear the frogs all the time in the toilet like bunch of frogs.

1278
01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:55,040
I can't see them where they are because it's dark and there is a small light coming through

1279
01:15:55,040 --> 01:15:57,560
the like a crack of the roof.

1280
01:15:57,560 --> 01:16:04,240
Killy wipes his ass with a frog on everything.

1281
01:16:04,240 --> 01:16:05,240
Well anyways.

1282
01:16:05,240 --> 01:16:07,240
Yeah that was a whole tangent.

1283
01:16:07,240 --> 01:16:11,640
I'm not sure if today's episode was Delhi belly or like.

1284
01:16:11,640 --> 01:16:15,840
Look we talked about all aspects Delhi belly.

1285
01:16:15,840 --> 01:16:18,160
We hope this is not too shitty of an episode.

1286
01:16:18,160 --> 01:16:21,640
And we hope it was educational because I learned something.

1287
01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:26,040
When I first came to Thailand and I saw the bumholes next to me I've never seen it before

1288
01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:28,640
and I was sitting on the toilet YouTubing how to use it.

1289
01:16:28,640 --> 01:16:31,440
I had no clue and I was pointing it in the wrong way and stuff.

1290
01:16:31,440 --> 01:16:33,840
It took me a while to figure that out.

1291
01:16:33,840 --> 01:16:36,080
But now I can't live without it.

1292
01:16:36,080 --> 01:16:37,080
It's a must.

1293
01:16:37,080 --> 01:16:38,080
It's a must.

1294
01:16:38,080 --> 01:16:42,800
Like it's required like every everywhere my dad goes he has one installed wherever he

1295
01:16:42,800 --> 01:16:43,800
stays.

1296
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:44,800
Yeah I mean I don't blame him dude.

1297
01:16:44,800 --> 01:16:45,800
I would do the same exact thing.

1298
01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:47,400
If I ever move back to America.

1299
01:16:47,400 --> 01:16:51,560
What really makes me mad is you see these new developments in Bangkok these new malls

1300
01:16:51,560 --> 01:16:53,040
and stuff that don't have it.

1301
01:16:53,040 --> 01:16:57,360
They want to be a western place so you see like new hotels and all the central malls.

1302
01:16:57,360 --> 01:16:58,360
They don't have it.

1303
01:16:58,360 --> 01:17:00,360
They don't have it and it drives me crazy.

1304
01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:01,360
Like why are you downgrading.

1305
01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:06,440
It's a downgrade and it's disgusting and it's not nice and the toilets are not good.

1306
01:17:06,440 --> 01:17:09,600
I'm also not a big fan of the Japanese toilets where like you just press a button and it

1307
01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:10,600
kind of like squirts up.

1308
01:17:10,600 --> 01:17:11,600
I mean.

1309
01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:12,600
No that's okay.

1310
01:17:12,600 --> 01:17:13,600
I still prefer the handheld type.

1311
01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:14,600
They dry you.

1312
01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:15,600
You gotta aim at the right spot.

1313
01:17:15,600 --> 01:17:16,600
Yeah you gotta keep moving around.

1314
01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:17,600
There's different buttons to move around.

1315
01:17:17,600 --> 01:17:18,600
There are buttons to move around.

1316
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:19,600
There's different buttons to move around.

1317
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:20,600
There's different buttons to move around.

1318
01:17:20,600 --> 01:17:21,600
There's different buttons to move around.

1319
01:17:21,600 --> 01:17:22,600
There's different buttons to move around.

1320
01:17:22,600 --> 01:17:23,600
There's like a sweeper.

1321
01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:26,600
Yeah yeah for women it's also like a front one and a back one.

1322
01:17:26,600 --> 01:17:27,600
Yeah.

1323
01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:28,600
It's not mainly men.

1324
01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:29,600
That's all you need.

1325
01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:30,600
In the women's bathroom.

1326
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:31,600
That's all.

1327
01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:32,600
I've only seen that at malls.

1328
01:17:32,600 --> 01:17:33,600
I don't know.

1329
01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:34,600
I don't have any friends who are rich enough to have those kind of toilets installed in

1330
01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:35,600
their houses.

1331
01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:38,880
I think I have been to someone's house that had it.

1332
01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:41,680
I can't remember but I mean it's not their bought home.

1333
01:17:41,680 --> 01:17:42,680
They were renting it.

1334
01:17:42,680 --> 01:17:43,680
Yeah.

1335
01:17:43,680 --> 01:17:46,280
But I don't like that you have to move in those kind of toilets.

1336
01:17:46,280 --> 01:17:49,080
Whereas with the handheld one you you know like you just move your hand.

1337
01:17:49,080 --> 01:17:50,080
No you don't.

1338
01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:51,080
You adjust the position.

1339
01:17:51,080 --> 01:17:53,480
The only thing about the handheld is you can clean your bathroom too.

1340
01:17:53,480 --> 01:17:54,480
Oh yeah.

1341
01:17:54,480 --> 01:17:55,480
Like anything.

1342
01:17:55,480 --> 01:17:56,480
You can do anything.

1343
01:17:56,480 --> 01:17:57,480
You can piss off the ground.

1344
01:17:57,480 --> 01:17:58,480
No worries.

1345
01:17:58,480 --> 01:17:59,480
You spray that shit.

1346
01:17:59,480 --> 01:18:00,480
Yeah.

1347
01:18:00,480 --> 01:18:01,480
I think the main intention was for it to be used to clean the bathroom.

1348
01:18:01,480 --> 01:18:02,480
I think so.

1349
01:18:02,480 --> 01:18:03,480
Was it just a bum gun?

1350
01:18:03,480 --> 01:18:05,480
I think it's an all purpose thing.

1351
01:18:05,480 --> 01:18:06,480
I think so.

1352
01:18:06,480 --> 01:18:12,600
I think so because like this part of the world people wash their bum.

1353
01:18:12,600 --> 01:18:13,600
People are clean.

1354
01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:14,600
Not wipe their bum.

1355
01:18:14,600 --> 01:18:16,400
And paper is gross and expensive.

1356
01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:17,400
Yeah.

1357
01:18:17,400 --> 01:18:21,000
If you had shit on your cheek would you take a piece of paper and wipe it off and go about

1358
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:22,000
your day?

1359
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:23,000
No.

1360
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:24,000
You'd wash it.

1361
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:26,040
I don't know why we think it's okay to do it to our ass.

1362
01:18:26,040 --> 01:18:31,200
I never I I I couldn't like process it when I learned that that happens.

1363
01:18:31,200 --> 01:18:32,200
Americans disgusting.

1364
01:18:32,200 --> 01:18:33,200
It is.

1365
01:18:33,200 --> 01:18:38,720
That that's the norm to do it and then I couldn't process my head.

1366
01:18:38,720 --> 01:18:45,000
And and and yes there is this thing like when my relatives who's living in America they

1367
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:51,480
used to come back to India they would use tissues and not pumpkin.

1368
01:18:51,480 --> 01:18:52,480
I would make fun of that.

1369
01:18:52,480 --> 01:18:55,720
Then they they would keep tissue like yeah.

1370
01:18:55,720 --> 01:18:56,720
Yeah.

1371
01:18:56,720 --> 01:18:57,720
Yeah.

1372
01:18:57,720 --> 01:19:02,080
My friend gave me like a little spray thing you know that you used to water your plants.

1373
01:19:02,080 --> 01:19:06,600
She gave that to me before I went to America to try to it did not work.

1374
01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:10,640
We really stretched this film discussion to her.

1375
01:19:10,640 --> 01:19:11,640
So by God.

1376
01:19:11,640 --> 01:19:12,640
The movie is nearing the end.

1377
01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:13,640
We stretched it that long.

1378
01:19:13,640 --> 01:19:19,680
All right so final thoughts on the movie or toilet paper up to you Nikki.

1379
01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:25,040
So I really like how I really like Adam's observation where he was like he didn't really

1380
01:19:25,040 --> 01:19:30,620
care the first time we went through this movie and then we noticed some many like in interesting

1381
01:19:30,620 --> 01:19:36,520
details or like styles of filming or like just the aesthetics alone.

1382
01:19:36,520 --> 01:19:39,920
It's not your typical Bollywood movie.

1383
01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:40,920
No musical numbers.

1384
01:19:40,920 --> 01:19:41,920
Very grounded.

1385
01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:44,960
Does a lot of risque things.

1386
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:46,120
I like that.

1387
01:19:46,120 --> 01:19:49,040
I like it feels very fresh and original.

1388
01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:50,040
Very fun.

1389
01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:59,160
Whoever listening to this podcast if you haven't watched Delhi Belly that came out on 2011

1390
01:19:59,160 --> 01:20:00,920
just go and watch it.

1391
01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:03,000
Like yeah you have to watch it.

1392
01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:06,000
Yeah it's really nice film.

1393
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:12,120
Well I don't really remember the film so I'm gonna say it was not that memorable.

1394
01:20:12,120 --> 01:20:17,440
But not to shit on it because I think like as we're replaying in the background as we

1395
01:20:17,440 --> 01:20:21,120
record this podcast like I remember thinking it was a very progressive film.

1396
01:20:21,120 --> 01:20:26,320
It's kind of like a crossover between Hollywood Bollywood to some degree where yeah it's very

1397
01:20:26,320 --> 01:20:29,640
young very fresh for like the new generation I'd say.

1398
01:20:29,640 --> 01:20:35,120
Not very representative of what Bollywood is but it's just a fun watch.

1399
01:20:35,120 --> 01:20:38,800
I don't think you're gonna come out of it with like any key insights or takeaways.

1400
01:20:38,800 --> 01:20:42,920
You're just gonna have like go on one hell of a ride and have a good time and sometimes

1401
01:20:42,920 --> 01:20:45,120
you just need those kind of films.

1402
01:20:45,120 --> 01:20:46,120
Yeah.

1403
01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:47,120
Also.

1404
01:20:47,120 --> 01:20:48,120
Okay so let me.

1405
01:20:48,120 --> 01:20:51,120
Shall we try to get you to be challenged?

1406
01:20:51,120 --> 01:20:52,120
Let me wrap up then.

1407
01:20:52,120 --> 01:20:53,120
Oh yeah what I was gonna say.

1408
01:20:53,120 --> 01:20:54,120
If you are new to Indian films or kind of scared or intimidated by the subject.

1409
01:20:54,120 --> 01:21:05,240
I would recommend Deli Belly just because they all speak in English.

1410
01:21:05,240 --> 01:21:11,040
You don't need to read subtitles.

1411
01:21:11,040 --> 01:21:16,800
It's an hour and 40 minutes which I know is a huge barrier to entry for most Indian films

1412
01:21:16,800 --> 01:21:17,800
is the length.

1413
01:21:17,800 --> 01:21:20,640
Three hours is just not fun.

1414
01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:25,600
So yeah like if you want to like just see you know life in India and get a good taste

1415
01:21:25,600 --> 01:21:29,640
of it you know I'd recommend this because it's a very easy way to dip your toes into

1416
01:21:29,640 --> 01:21:31,640
Indian cinema I'd say.

1417
01:21:31,640 --> 01:21:33,640
But not representative of it.

1418
01:21:33,640 --> 01:21:39,820
But then I think channel has become a hot but the canım fantasy has

1419
01:21:39,820 --> 01:21:51,020
become lemon living with his

1420
01:21:51,020 --> 01:21:53,020
Vigilos, vigilos, vigilos

1421
01:21:53,020 --> 01:22:22,720
Vigilos, vigilos, vigilos, vigilos
