so their brains can relax."

India's like, "F*** you."

And they don't learn less in India.

They learn just as much, if not more.

They just cram it

into four and a half years.

There's a billion people, like,

"We need doctors. Hurry up.

Study, study, study."

Where did you grow up?

-Mississauga.

-Mississauga. Yeah.

First of all, you can't let out a..

A 'hood "yeah!" It's..

It's Mississauga, you f***ing dummies.

All right?

It's not like..

It's not even like, "Oh, sh*t!"

It's like, "Yeah, Mississauga." It's..

Mississauga, and he's a doctor.

How gangster do you think his life was?

I gotta be honest with you, Sandeep,

it's nothing personal,

but I would never go to you as a doctor.

Um...

I would never go to an Indian guy

that became a doctor,

especially one that was born and raised

in this part of the world. F*** that.

If you were born and raised here,

you had dreams,

and it was never to become a doctor.

Let's be honest.

I'd go to an Indian woman

that became a doctor.

Obviously, not you, 'cause, you know, I..

I have boy parts.

But... I would go to an Indian woman

that became a doctor.

When an Indian woman becomes a doctor,

that means she really wanted

to be a doctor.

Even her parents are like, "Sweetie,

you don't have to become a doctor.

You can just marry a doctor."

And she's like, "F*** you.

I wanna be a doctor."

I need that kind of determination

from my doctor, you know?

Well, you had dreams when you

were 14 years old, right, Sandeep?

And it wasn't to be a doctor.

That's not what a 14-year-old

dreams about. A 14-year-old...

has dreams that are ridiculous.

That.. That your dream at 14

should never be logical.

It should be the dumbest sh*t

you're doing at 14.

I'll tell you what my dream was.

It wasn't to be a comedian.

I didn't even know this job existed.

My dream.. It'll make you feel better

about whatever your dream was.

Here's what I thought I was gonna do

for the rest of my life.

I thought.. Heh. I..

I wanted to be a dancer.

All right. First of all, f*** you.

All right?

Second of all, not a stripper. I was..

I was a break dancer, and I was like,

"Yo, I'm gonna do this sh*t forever."

Not a realistic goal, though.

What was your dream when you were 14,

growing up on the mean streets

of Mississauga, Sandeep?

Now, be honest. Don't make no bullshit up.

-A musician.

-Huh? A musician.

-Did you play any instruments?

-Yes.

Well, good. That's a good start.

I always..

I always have Indian guys yell out sh*t

that they never did.

"I wanted to be in the NBA."

"Did you play basketball?" "Not once.

I just love giant black men."

You know, just..

What instrument did you play?

-Guitar.
