This week, I started a series of short posts on my Gruntled Substack and my LinkedIn. Here’s the first one. Feel free to subscribe and follow… and follow along.

Since this is a FUNNY Indian Newsletter, I present here the 5 funny things that I saw, heard, wrote, or remembered for the last month... otherwise known as FIVE - Funny Indian's V Events. Enjoy.
I loved The Dukes of Hazzard so much, I used to sign my emails “Rosco P. Coltrane.” And I had no idea who Boss Hogg really was.
Chris Christie probably farted on live TV.
Where to begin with the Akaash Singh drama? This story is so bonkers, a number of you have texted me links. You can really just start here and go down the rabbit hole. Who’s Akaash Singh? He’s a pretty big Indian comic. He and I did a sketch together once upon a time.
My favorite comment? “I didn’t know I could understand Japanese.”
Just hung out with DJ Sandhu in Sacramento and texted him to tell him two White guys in Ohio sent me his abortion bit. Then again, the 18-year-old White kid on the plane from Detroit to LA this week asked if I was a comic; he’d seen me in his feed. Gotta love it.
I’ve known Steve Hofstetter for about two decades and I was happy to see him post this dunk on JD Vance’s brother.

THANK YOU to all of you for your support. You are my true core of fans — I couldn't do this without you. Whatever “this” was.
Love,
