Summary

This week we are joined by stand-up comedian Zaib Pirani, who makes jokes about growing up in a family of previously-undocumented Indian-Muslims in Sugar Land, Texas. The conversation delves into the nuances of religious identity, the impact of cultural expectations, and the importance of finding one's own path.
