7 Years 123 days - Ask Boyle

0:00Alright, you are back with comedian, boyle and on quitting alcohol. So we're here on another fucking beautiful day in Boston. It's been fucking raining the last few days. I think the weather's turning. It's just about fucking full. It is rapidly approaching one year. In one month, I've been here one year. Minus the fucking time in Ireland and Spain, but still, fucking one year is approaching fast. Honestly, just an absolute fucking whirlwind. It's hard to even get balanced here. I was thinking yesterday I need to make some friends. I was like, should I put a shout out on to the podcast about fucking just going out to

1:04coffee with someone? I'm doing this thing, the artist's wife, like the nine millionth time and I'll talk about it later, but there's a section where they're like, or how fulfilled are you in these areas? It's like spirituality, exercise, work, and then one of the sections is friends. I'm like, well, considering I haven't really even spoken to a friend or seen a friend in almost a year, I would put that in not really fulfilled, even though I'm not missing it, but I should probably get some friends. Even just someone to hang out with, we can go watch the Odyssey or something or go fishing. Camping, I want someone to go shooting with. I really do. I want to go shooting. So let's fucking work that out if anyone's a boss then let's catch up. But yeah, it's time to fucking settle in.

2:05The settling in has been finished. The settling in is done like the fucking, the whirlwind part now it's like, alright, let's find a groove. And that's the next phase, but anyway, let's get to fucking, it's this week's Ask Boyle, it's Ask Boyle time. So if you have a question you would like answered by one of the greatest minds of the generation or any generation, comedian, philosopher, mechanic, a lead boy out, then head to my website boiolcomedy.com. Now I need some ass boils, but I fucking really need some fucking fucked up Fridays. Really need some fucked up Fridays. So I need you to get on to that boiolcomedy.com. Just fucking roll them in baby. Roll them in anyway. Let's move along to this week's Ask Boyles.

3:09So this week's Ask Boyle was sent in by Nathan Roccafella. Not Roccafella. Roccafella. Roccafella. So I don't know where Roccafella's from, but I'm assuming Australia. So here's the question. Can you discuss the Indian concept of Izart and how long you think it will take to destroy Australia? Captain Illuminati. You have come to the right place. Actually you've come to the wrong place because I don't know what the fuck Izart is and I even asked my wife what the fuck is that is and she had no idea what the fuck you're talking about. She said it sounds like a Muslim fucking concept or something like that, but I know what you're trying to say, the pride thing. I know what you're trying to imply.

4:11Let me put it that way. Yes, I'm also watching all the Indian hate you're watching as well. I'm also looped into all the fucking hate on Twitter and Instagram and every fucking idiot going on about Indians and some of it is justifiable. Definitely. But it's a lot more complex than you think. For starters, like there's no Indian. There's no generic, there is generic Indian, but Indians are completely different from fucking town to town. It's like saying someone from Alabama, like the deep south somewhere, is the same as someone from fucking New York City. It's not the same person.

5:11There's different realities live. There's different education. There's different fucking upbringing. There's different socioeconomic fucking circumstances. It's a completely different thing and the US, Australia has 24 million people. So it's a very homogenous society. Besides the immigrants, it's a very blanket homogenous society where you have a little bit of poshness towards the top and extreme bogeon towards the end. But the poles aren't that far apart. They're still around the same fucking people. The rich is still around and hanging out with the poor people and it's homogenous. It's a little different in the US. You can see the poles a little further, but you've got like three and a half or 350 million people here.

6:11A shitload of immigrants as well. But the same thing, like the poles are much further apart. The inequality is much more pronounced in the US than it is in Australia. But then you go to fucking India and it's a completely, there is nowhere on earth like India. The poles between the fucking, the poorest, which is the majority, the majority are fucking the poor and the uber like fucking mega wealthy is it's just, it's not even on the same fucking planet. And that's just the poles within India as well. You go state to state. It's a different language in every state. Well, you can divide India up north and south, north, which is like Delhi sort of Mumbai,

7:12all that sort of stuff. The Ferris skinned Indians there for the most part, the poorer Indian. So a lot of North Indians go down to South India for work. A lot of the work is in like Bangalore in Hyderabad now in Chennai. In South India, South India is historically more wealthy than North India, even though the centres of power are actually in North India. But a lot of the wealth is in actually in South India and the education, a lot of the education is in South India as well. So like South India was more colonized by the English. So a lot of South Indians, especially in Bangalore, Bangalore maybe is the exception to most of the rules, I suppose, because a lot of it is like Catholic Convent Schools in Bangalore.

8:12So it's like the fucking Queen's English. Like proper Bangaloreans can fucking speak better English than, well, definitely Australians. My wife's English is better than mine. But there's a lot of Catholicism down there. So there's tension between North and South India as well. The North Indians come down to South India. The South Indians don't like it at all. So that's one area of tension. Then you go like state by state. Like Bangalore is completely different to fucking Chennai. Chennai is completely different to Kerala. They all have different governments. Like Kerala is a communist state. It's been run by the communists for like 30 years. Chennai, which is Tamil Nadu, is now run by a fucking movie star in Canatika, which is where Bangalore is.

9:13That's run by the Congress, which is the Gandhi faction. And like the dialect in between these states is different. The mother tongue in all these states are different. So they all kind of look the same, but like the character is completely different. And then even inside the states, the dialect, even the same dialect, if you go from like the cities towards the country, they can barely understand each other using the same language. It's just completely different. And then within that, you've got like the sort of car system which separates and divides people as well. So you've got all these moving parts in India. And it's really, really fucking different everywhere you go. But what people see is they see brown Indian Hindu people come to the country and it just

10:17seems like a homogenous blob. And I understand that as well. When you import a fucking large amount of people from a different country, no matter what country, there's going to be tension. There always has been and always will be the Italians won't welcome in Australia. The Greeks won't welcome in Australia. The Lebanese won't welcome in Australia. The Chinese won't welcome in Australia. The Vietnamese won't welcome in Australia. No one has ever been welcome in Australia. But the amount of immigrants there now is obviously pissing people off and fully understand that. But like fucking. To say Indians are like all the same is very tricky because like you've got religions as

11:17well, you've got fucking Hindus, you've got the Muslims, you've got the fucking Sikhs, you've got the Jains, you've got the Buddhists, you've got the Catholics, you've got the Christians. Like there's even a few Jew Indians. Like what Indians are you talking about? Like I don't know. When I do gigs in India now, like it's a little bit different because when I first started it was just Bangaloreans and all of them speak really good English and they're very westernised Indians, Bangaloreans. But now I got India and do gigs and there's people from everywhere. Lot of North Indians who are like fucking tough, lot of North East Indians which are like the Asian type Indians, the Himalayan Indians, a lot of Kerala Indians which are like the beach going. They're a little bit funny as well. There's no like, like you can't unite the crowd just around being Indian because they

12:20barely know what the fuck each other is speaking about as well. It's a country of 1.5 billion people. Just like a quarter of the population of the earth is in an area of the size of I don't know half of Australia or something. But yes, culturally some of the Indians have an extreme lack of awareness. That's for sure. That's putting it lightly and they fucking. I suppose when they move overseas they ramp up their culture a little bit so they feel like they're not losing that part of themselves which Australians do over here as well. Here in Australian over here and it's like yeah, fucking. It's like I might fucking tone it down. So yeah, I would say the Izard or whatever that is.

13:22I don't even know what it is. The pride thing you're thinking about and Indians really do have a problem with accepting their wrong about anything and they think they're right about whatever they're talking about and most of the time they're very ill informed. But yeah, I feel like explaining to people the complexity of fucking Indian society is not really going to be listened to anyway. People are just going to take it as take them as a homogenous, conspiring blob of people that are all interlinked that are all on the same page. I can tell you right now there's more conflict within Indian communities that are allies with each other than there is with any outsiders. Just for sure.

14:23But yeah, Indian society is very complex and you're going to have to figure out which Indians are more problematic than other ones because there definitely are some more problematic Indians than others. That's for sure. Anyway, fucking, I don't know what Izard is but I think I know what you're talking about. So I hope I gave you a good overview of Indian culture that you're just going to ignore and say, he's married to an Indian anyway. But yeah, I love India. I love Indians. So it's hard for me to put too much hate on it. Anyway, fucking, that'll do it. Thanks for the question. That'll do for today and I'll see you the fun later.
