- Amer vividly recounts his mother’s courageous, high-stakes escape from Kuwait during war by hiding valuables.
- He champions the role of comedians as truth-tellers, sharply condemning critics who attacked him for performing in Saudi Arabia as anti-free speech and casually racist.

Who else clicked on the video, pushed paused and went straight to the comments sections
Dropping two episodes in one week isn’t going to make everyone forget about what we really are here to see.
Who would have guessed that Akaash’s funniest joke ever was, “my wife is a virgin?” 😅
Your laugh ain’t fooling anyone, Akaash. We know you’re going through it, bro.
Ignoring the simp in the room is a flagrant violation of the comic code of conduct
“Mr I can only kiss my wife on the cheek” is hurting behind that fake ass laugh
Every time Akaash made a joke about Indians loving trains he had no idea he was giving Jasleen flashbacks of the frat house
I don't even watch Flagrant. I just come for the comments section.
