You're listening to the Untitled Kandiboli Brothers podcast.

Hello, this is Ashok Kanabolu. Welcome to the Untitled Kanubulu Brothers podcast, episode 8.

My brother, stand-up comedian, Hireer Kanabolu, is currently doing a show at UMass Amherst.

So I'll be recording the intro and the outro for this episode. I went to UMass Amherst as a student in the early part of the last decade. And it was all right. I was there for a couple weeks.

There was a lake. The buildings are very ugly.

The sociology department was supposed to have been good.

And then I moved back to New York,

where I live now.

Anyway, here is a recording of Untitled Cunabular Brothers Project number 26 that we're going to turn into this episode number eight of the podcast.

It was recorded live at Reed College in Portland, Oregon on April 11, 2013.

Here it is.

Hello, hello.

Hello, Reed, how are you?

How many of you have seen me do stand it before? Because I was here for you, a handful.

Oh, people raise their hands. The handraising habits, incredible. Yeah, it's very strange,

because usually it's like just a woo, but here it's like, because this is a college. Right. And also,

to be to be fair, we're in a classroom, which is bizarre. That's true. That's true. Where my head went was

imagining handraising in an adult human city environment, and what I thought of is if somebody was asking for change on the train, and the people had change raised their hand. And then that actually would be an incredible way to use handraising in real life, I guess, to make everything easier. People never use handraising in real life. You know what? And also, now that I think of it, that you know how people give change

and some people do very, like, conspicuously? Like, aren't I? Great guy. This would be like that for them, more encouragement for them. And easier for the people trying to get the money to also know where to go and not have to face people who aren't going to give change, and they don't have to pretend that they don't see. But it's a strange thing to because it's one of the things... I'm a city planner, guys. It's a bizarre thing in that you're trained to raise your hand to ask questions your whole life, basically. Like if you go, like, through formal schooling and all this stuff, right? And then all of a sudden you like graduate from wherever, you know, whatever level. And then you stop. It's never again. You never again is used. Yeah. That's so weird. That is weird. Because even in like, I guess, town hall forums, you just queue up for the microphone. Yeah. Based on my never having gone to a town hall forum or community board meeting or anything like that.

I'm too busy planning the city's...

Well, it's interesting that...

Oh, first of all, welcome to the show.
