In today's episode, we sit down with Hasan Minhaj - stand-up comedian, actor, and former host of Patriot Act, the son of Indian immigrants who's spent two decades turning rejection into some of the sharpest comedy in America.

We discuss why comedy rejects you every single minute, why every immigrant kid is secretly trying to prove their father wrong, and why the certainty of a "safe" career is really just an illusion. Hasan also breaks down his obsession with Zakir Khan's Madison Square Garden show, why he traded a shoebox full of cash for index funds, how he's raising his own kids differently than he was raised, and why he still won't let them become comedians.

Raw, personal, and unexpectedly moving - this one will change how you think about success, rejection, and what it really means to make your parents proud.
