The Wayans Brothers on Scary Movie, White Chicks & How Comedy Has Gone Woke

19:19Romesh Ranganathan:So you're just trying to top whatever you've done? Yeah, we're trying to make everything better. So we'll have a script that we are following, but then after you do a take, then we go, okay, that was funny. We got that in the can. Okay, let's try it like this. Right, right, right. And then you just keep going until you think - And we keep going until we go, oh yeah, that was really funny. Until we're behind budget. Yeah, exactly. They're ready to shut us down. And we end up shooting in this room.

20:48Romesh Ranganathan:I mean, are you constantly now when you're watching horror films, are you constantly just looking for little tropes that you can take and stuff like that? Yeah, we watch like a hundred movies in order to write one movie. So you just watch them over and over again. Is it something else? What didn't I see? Try and place your characters in those situations. So it's a lot of work. But, you know, over time you get, you know, a bunch of like jokes and then you got to pare down the jokes and go, which ones are We're going to fit in the story. And then you write your first draft. And your first draft is, you know, very long.

21:18I think our first draft was like 189 pages. What character you assign those jokes to, you know, you have to figure that out. It's a process. But, you know, end of the day, how many laughs can you get out of a movie? They say a good comedy. You laugh five times in a theater. And I don't think we've ever done a movie where we try to make people laugh only five times.

21:38Romesh Ranganathan:Yeah. they say if you laugh seven times that movie's hilarious okay well then this is gonna be absolutely hilarious this may be the funniest movie of all time but that's like the film reviewers rule of thumb right if it's got seven laughs I don't know I don't know what those guys do we don't even do it for the reviews man because we've been so beat up by the reviews we expect the reviews to never be good look at We got Rotten Tomatoes scores. White Chicks. White Chicks got like a 17. Yeah, we got killed. Honey House got a six. Scary Movie 1 got like a 24. Scary Movie 2 got like a 20. We have terrible Rotten Tomatoes scores, but our movies, classics.

22:2720 years later, people still want to see Scary Movie with Wayne's Day. You know, 20 years later, it's still asking for White Chicks in living color. All the things that we've done over the past they never got great reviews. Don't be a menace got slaughtered Yeah in reviews, but people love that movie we do it for the you know The weed head don't care about no reviews and he cared. Did you make him laugh bro? Can I get high and watch this again with some of my buddies did I eat munchies during this? That's all

22:56Romesh Ranganathan:So you're you bulletproof when it comes to reviews? Don't give a shit. I won't say that. We just don't really trip on it. We know that their job is to review, and you can't go to school and study movies and then try... They have a different sense of humor than we have. And so comedy is subjective. So they have every right to review, and we don't get mad. Sometimes they're so bad, we read them out loud and laugh. Conan used to do that. We used to read them out loud and laugh. What movie did they watch? So, you know, and like I said, we have respect for the critics and everything because they have a job to do.

23:36But, you know, we make these movies for the audience and we want this movie to be, you know, funny.

23:42Romesh Ranganathan:So fuck the critics, yeah? That I won't say. No. We won't say that. Like, fuck them, man. Then we'll get the negative 35 fans. We don't give a fuck what you're going to say. Fuck you, man. Negative 35. If you're watching this in your critic, fucking suck my dick. Am I right? No. That's that. I can't wait till you do it for me. I want to read. I want to read that review. We've got a question from my mum, who is also Sri Lankan. Okay, hello. No, this is a voice now. I've not heard this, so I don't know what she's going to ask you. Okay. All right. Hi, guys. I'm Romesh's mother. We work together.

24:18Sometimes Romesh's brother joins too. do you find it easy to work with family or do you fight on set when romesh is a silly bugger i just tell him to shut up have a wonderful day this is romesh's mom shanti thank you

24:38Romesh Ranganathan:okay she introduced herself and introduced herself at the end she threw in a slam on me that's cute how difficult is it to work with family it depends on what can be really really It can be really, really fun. When we did White Chicks, Sean did not want to be bothered. He hated me. But it wasn't his fault. He had these things in his eye. We hated each other. We had these contacts in our eyes. We had heels. Our feet was hurting. We was under duress, makeup. We had a mini skirt on. And one time I was trying to get him to get on his mark. and he's like yo leave me alone don't touch me he was like he's just trying to help you out i didn't want to hear nothing from nobody but i understood how he felt because i was in the same exact makeup it was so painful that when on the very first day of shooting i went to my brother and we did one scene, we did a take, and I go, yo, how much longer we got?

25:46And he's like, motherfucker, you just started shooting. You got 18 more hours. I was like, man. But yeah, it can be difficult, but I think it's rewarding. You know, this is, I think we've always made magic together, and look, you only got so much time in this world in this synapse we call life. So why not do what you love with who you love and laugh all the way till we can't laugh no more?

26:17Romesh Ranganathan:One of the tricky things about it is that, you know, when you're doing comedy, you're trying to get, as an individual, you're trying to get, particularly when you didn't stand up, for example, you're trying to get as many laughs as you possibly can, right? And it's quite a selfish pursuit. And then if you're doing something as part of like a cast or a group or whatever, you've got to sort of put your ego to one side and go, we're working for the benefit of the whole thing, right? Are you able to do that with your brothers, like, you know, in terms of like, do you ever get worried about, I don't know, somebody's got more laughs than someone else or somebody's got bigger lines or anything like that?

26:51No, I want everybody in the scene to be funnier than me. Right. Right? If I'm going to be funny, I want everybody around me to be funnier. That's why it's going to be a hilarious scene. And when, you know, he does the scene, I want to make sure that it's not just a good scene. I want to make it hilarious. How we make this the best scene ever. Because I'm not in the scene, we both look out for each other. Here's how we can make this scene funnier. And you have to be unselfish, especially in our position, because we're not just some actors. We're the writers. We're the producers. We're stars and the visionaries of the project.

27:27So we have to be the point guard as well as the shooting guard. So we watch each other's scenes and after the director says cut, I'll go over to him with notes and be like, yo, that was really funny. You should try this. Oh, do that. Or when I do my scene, when they yell cut, Maul and they'll come over, yo, that was really funny. You should try this. Oh, try that. Do this line. And then I'll try it and then, you know, it'll be funny. It'll take it to the next level.

27:56Romesh Ranganathan:What's the dynamic? Is it completely equal amongst all of you? Is there somebody who's got like the power of veto or do you like, and do you all have the same sense of humor? I think we've learned over the process is to acquiesce, right? Some people have a vision for things, and so you have to do that and let them execute because it's hard for everybody to have the same exact vision, but who's going to be doing the day-to-day work and bring the vision home, and that's who you got to, at the end of the day, you got to trust that person. I mean, and I imagine that takes... Except for when Kenan's directing.

28:29When Keenan's directing, yo, we do what Big Bro says. Not just what Big Bro says, but he's one of the greatest comedy directors of all time. Yeah, yeah. So, you know, that's a different set of circumstances. That's when you sit there and yeah, we're producers and writers, but Keenan's the director. So we got to listen to our director because he's the visionary. Right, right, right.

28:49Romesh Ranganathan:Now, let's talk about In Living Colour. Absolutely enormous show. Yes. We've, I don't know if, often compared to SNL, I don't know if you're aware, SNL UK just started over here. Yeah. Okay. How do you feel like, I mean, you mentioned it, Marlon, the fact that people still talk about it living in colour. Yeah. What was that like to be part of something? I mean, you can't have known that it was going to have the impact it was going to have. But what was it like to be part of all of that? How exciting did it feel? And how difficult was that? Because with sketch, you know, there's, I think that there's probably, you know, because SNL's run so long in the States.

29:23Romesh Ranganathan:Sketch comedy over here has had like a, has disappeared for a while and it's starting to come back a bit. But sketch... We grew up on Benny Hill. That was like our favorite. Really? Yeah, we loved Benny Hill. Monty Python has always been very funny too. I love Monty Python too. Big fans, man. Brits are funny, funny people, man. The Office, you guys have got a great sense of humor. And I wish more of the world had that kind of dark humor. Twisted. Do you think the British have got it particularly dark? Oh, you're dark. You're dark. You're dark. But smart too. Mm. Dark, smart, and it's wicked. You just guys, you know, I love British humor.

30:01Romesh Ranganathan:With sketch, like, do you just accept some of this hit? Like, it's difficult to make every sketch hit, right? Well, I think it is difficult. I think when you talk about television, I think sketch is the hardest form of television. I think just the same way sketch and parody. That's why for us, we do sketch and we do parody. Every black, here's how hard sketch is. Every black sketch show producer and performer quit at the five year mark. Richard Pryor, Key and Peele, Dave Chappelle, and Kenan all quit after five years. It's tough, man. It's tough. Because it's a machine. You know, it's a, that's rough.

30:49And you're constantly trying to, you know, then the audience has an expectation. So you gotta, you know, you gotta wait for things to happen. And you can only do but so many characters. And what's great, we had a lot of original characters when we did Living Color. But, you know, it's just - And Living Color had an insanely talented cast too. And insanely talented writers, you know. But you turned them over so much. You just basically bleed in people's drive. Because all day long, we used to stay on Living Color until six in the morning writing sketches. Yeah. Because nobody wanted to write for Keenan and Damon's little untalented brothers.

31:22And that was Keenan and Damon talking.

31:29Except Phil Bowman, though. Phil Bowman used to write with him.

31:31Romesh Ranganathan:See, I had people that didn't want to write for you. So you just come with your own shit. The other guys, everyone was trying to write for the guys with the superstar characters. Everybody wanted to write for Damon and Jim. Yeah. And David and Kim. Yeah. And Kelly, they wanted to write for the cast members who had the hits. Me and Maul didn't have no hits. We had to create our own little hits. We had Snuffin' Roam and he had, he did Shabba Ranks and I did L Cool JJ. The Dev Jam sketch. We were trying to get on Ice Poe. We was trying to get our foot in the door and get our superstar sketches. Now, what some people might not know in the year.

32:11Romesh Ranganathan:Fuck! You could have at least put your hands up. Why didn't you? You guys are lucky I don't fart. I really want to fart in this room. That's what I want to do. You know, never mind the sneezing, but I want to fart in this room. I didn't let it out, Sean. I know. I'm over here. That's how you'd normally lean, right? Yeah. He's already getting sick. Look at him. He always looks sick, though. That's crazy. He does look... You always look like you just got bit by his arm. But you know how you know how he's... He looks like he just got bit. Like, we could save him if he chops off his arm. You know how you know he's ill when he starts to look well?

32:47Romesh Ranganathan:Like if he's looking healthy and he's got a normal colour to his face, then you've got to call a doctor. Now, what people in the UK might not know is that the modern Super Bowl halftime show, the spectacle of that show is down to you guys, right? That's fair to say, right? The reason for that spectacle was because of In Living Colors' Super Bowl halftime show. So can you explain the whole phenomenon? Before that, Keenan and Damon noticed that it was brought to their attention that nobody watches the Super Bowl halftime show when the Super Bowl was on. Because back in the day, it was just like college bands.

33:39Yeah, it was like cheerleaders. So people would turn to something else, and then they would turn back to the game. So they seen that as an opportunity to get people to watch In Living Color during the halftime show and have people turn to Fox, watch In Living Color's live halftime show, and then have them turn back to the game. And so that's what happened. And so Super Bowl lost like half of their audience or maybe even more than that because everybody tuned into that episode. And that was so big that the next year - They hired Michael Jackson. They hired Michael Jackson to do the halftime show.

34:18I mean, that is incredible, right? Yeah, that was crazy. To spot that opportunity and then to,

34:23Romesh Ranganathan:I mean, that in and of itself is an amazing impact. Yeah, that was crazy. And the dream of mine, because I have these crazy ideas and crazy dreams. I would love to one day, I wanna do the Living Color reunion show as a Super Bowl halftime show, but that's what we actually do it, with the Super Bowl in coordinations at the Waynes, like the way Dr. Dre and them did, to do the Living Color takeover halftime show associated with the NFL and just laid out a half hour comedy sketch show. They hate us. No, Sean, that would be so - That would be so big. They wanna kill us. That would be so big. Are you kidding me?

35:09You know how big that would be? If we did the In Living Color reunion. I know exactly what you're going for. I'm just saying they hate us. You know how money we made them spend? They probably hate us, but the point is... What if we did it again? We'd go do it over at Fox. Then they'd hate us even more. Exactly. But just, let's just table that. I think it could happen. Put a pin in that. I think it's worth putting a pin in that. Put a pin in that. 100%. Okay. Put a pin in that. I'm going to bring that to the streets. I'm throwing it up there.

35:42Romesh Ranganathan:Work with a pop. Now, one of the things that, you know, we talked about - They hate you, son. That was my dead father telling him. He tried to bring my father in on the idea. He's like, I'm going to work with a pop. And then my father saying, they hate you, son. It's really hot in here. Yeah, it's quite hot, isn't it? Are you struggling? Aren't you? Me? It's hot. Sri Lanka, man. What does that mean? No, I'm quite warm. I'm quite warm. You're used to this kind of heat? Is it hot in Sri Lanka? Yeah. Ask Tim. Tim knows. We'll call Tim. Don't call him now. Yeah, I think it's a bad idea. You really do know Tim?

36:27Romesh Ranganathan:Can I just say that? I do know Tim. No. You're going to get sick. Don't touch his phone. Okay, yeah, shit. Sorry. Yeah. I do know Tim, yeah. Okay. Sorry. What does Tim host? Can you show Ben? You'll know. You're like a... Tim Cash. I do know him, yeah. I don't know what he hosts, though. He hosts MTV. He hosts... That's right. He hosts a show for... He probably hosts Cribs now. Amazon. He's hosted a show for... That's hilarious. He's hosted a show for the Oscars. He's been on a lot of carpets. Tim Cash. Love you, boy. Yeah, big shout out, Tim Cash. You're Marlon's favorite Sri Lankan. Big ups.

37:06You're my second favorite. Thanks, man. But then again, I only know two Sri Lankans. Who's your third? Your mom, so... Yeah, I know three Sri Lankans.

37:16Romesh Ranganathan:Pardon? Yeah, a lot of people in this country prefer my mom, actually. It goes, my mom, Tim, then me. Now, your impact has been particularly recognized by the black community in America and rightly very proud of having you, having this family represent them and the impact you've made. How important is that kind of representation to you? Is that something that plays any part in your thought process or is that a byproduct of what you guys have just naturally done? I think it's a byproduct of what we naturally done. And, you know. It's very cool. Shout out to the families that came before us that made us dream.

37:50Shout out to, you know. The Jacksons. The Jacksons, the DeBarges, even the Osmonds, you know, I know they're not black, but they were influential in seeing a family work together. And so we grew up with that vision and it's good to execute it. And I hope that we inspire the next generation of Waynesers.

38:12Romesh Ranganathan:Well, because, you know, sometimes you don't think, you know, and I think about this as like a brown performer, I guess, in the UK. You don't think about it. But then when I was growing up, there weren't many brown people on TV doing comedy or anything like that. And so, you know, there was a couple of shows and then you think, and then that gives you a sense of, of like, shit, I could do this. And then now when you're doing what you're doing, if you think about what you've achieved, without you realizing, you know, there's probably going to be people that have decided to go into this. A lot of people decided to go into this as a direct result of watching you.

38:46Romesh Ranganathan:I mean, that's a pretty amazing thing to consider. I mean, that's beautiful. I mean, you know, to be inspired, to inspire people, that's... Yeah, I think that's very cool. Yeah. But that's not why we did it. We just wanted to tell these jokes and make some money. Yeah, I get it. Obviously, primarily, it's about the fee. But secondarily, if you've inspired somebody, that's a nice bonus. Yeah, that's a nice thing. Yeah, but it's not essential. It's a nice bonus. Yeah. Okay, we're going to play a little game. Stop! No! Game! At least you gave me a prize. You're going to like this game. We'll play this game.

39:15Romesh Ranganathan:You're going to like this game. Look at my little prize. You mind if I answer it like this? I can't play no more games, man. This game is called Misquoted. You don't have to do anything. You just sit there and talk. I'm going to give you five quotes. Okay. Some of them you said, some of them you didn't. Okay. And it will lead to some great content.

39:33Romesh Ranganathan:It's misquoted. Here we go. This is misquoted. Go for it. This is your first one. Did one of you say this or not? This white boy is funny. Trust me. He's like silly putty. Jim Carrey. Correct. Damon said this. Is it Damon that said this? This is you telling this story. This white boy is funny. He's like silly putty, Keenan. That's Damon. Yeah, I know. Oh. Okay, here's your next one. Go for it. Writing sessions are lit these days. I don't know anybody that said that. Which ones you use the word lit? Who said that? It's false. You didn't say that. Of course. That's crazy. This is a quote about your writing sessions.

40:18Romesh Ranganathan:We get lunch. We get green tea. We get in a room. That's true. We start talking about what kind of story you want to tell, get some funny gags, try to make each other laugh and get the room as warm as possible. That's Sean on Good Morning Texas. So you actually like these kind of temperatures. That's why we've got the room like this. No, I like that in my house. I like this. I did another direct quote. I don't want to smell at all. Direct quote from Sean. I like the room small and hot and with two awkward white guys in the corner. No, I never said that. So we've done it exactly as you said to Good Morning Texas in March of this year.

40:55Romesh Ranganathan:I'm done with movies. He's getting hot. He's mad. I'm done with movies. I'm moving to Palm Beach. Not us. Who's that? That's not us. No, you didn't say that. Yeah, no. I said, I'm just trying to be prolific. I want to do great things. When asked about whether there'd be a White Chicks 2, and that was to real 92.3 FM in January of this year. That sounds like something Marlon would say. Yeah. Yeah. Now, I'm moving to Miami. That's something Damon would say. I'm moving to Miami. Far away from you niggas. But he said Palm Beach. That ain't a Damon. That's not a Damon quote. Well done, guys. You won the game.

41:32Romesh Ranganathan:I won. Both of you won. So what did we win? Pardon? Your eventual release from this room. I'll borrow that. Oh, yes. But I hear about five more questions. I've got five more. Literally five more questions. Well, four, three. I love this. How many questions? I can see the monitor. Okay. You've had an incredible career. Congratulations. Thank you. Have you got anything left that you want to do comedically or creatively? Is there anything that you still want to achieve? If you were to retire today, would you be like, we had a good run? Or is there something, one more thing that you want to really hit?

42:02I have a lot I want to do. I feel like I'm just beginning. For me personally. Yeah. Because everything I've done up until now has been study, work, study, study, work, work, work, work, work. study, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn. And now at this age, I can execute every last single thing that I have thought of. And there's so much more I wanna do. Like these are my best years. These are my Denzel years. These are the years that you work to have this 20 year run. So I feel like my best work is ahead of me. I feel like if I was done today, I could say we had a nice run. Right. Not that I don't have more to do.

42:46It's just, I can say that. I don't, I'm not, you know. There's nothing. Yeah, I'm not trying to take over the world. But you are. He is. I am. If I die today, I'd be mad as hell. I'm a man, I want to do dynamite. I want to do the mask. I want to do white chicks too. Is there going to be a white chick too? When I die, put me in every one of these movies in a coffin. Playing the dead guy. Or work with me like, what's that movie? We can have Bernie's. Yeah. We can have Bernie's. Have me sitting next to you.

43:29Romesh Ranganathan:I want to keep doing movies. Where does a stand up sit alongside movies? Like, do you have a favorite thing that you do? I love stand up. I thought it used to be the thing I hated, the thing I feared. now it's like the thing I love most I love it I am addicted I want to stage every weekend and I'm working on now my my sixth special and I just want to keep pumping out funny stuff and clean slate and start again and blank canvas I love the art of because I used to always have to feel the need to do a movie or I would feel anxious to feel some anxiety but because I do stand-up now so much I I quelled that anxiety and I get to put together, you know, the things I really am passionate about and construct it how I like to construct it.

44:15So you do, I do stand up in between movies. Yeah. You know.

44:19Romesh Ranganathan:And how, and do you, are you doing that? Do you feel the same as Marlon about, are you addicted to it? Do you feel like you have to be doing it? No, I love it and I do it, but I'm not addicted to it. I just, I just love the, the art form. Do you think there's an argument that it makes you funnier? And I sort of feel like it makes you funnier in everything else you do. It does make you funnier. Makes you a better writer, a better producer, a better visionary. You're very confident about a scientist. You know where the laughs are. And you know you can bring them, you can let them go, and then you can piss them off.

44:48And then I know I can bring you back. It's just like, I just love it. It helps me when I'm on set, when I'm improvising, or if I'm writing, or if I'm working with an actor or actress. And I'm like, oh, say that, because there's always the writer in my head. I always hear the audience in my head. I know when sometimes I go too far, but it's intentional. And I know how to pull it back. And I know how to lose the audience and bring them back. I just...

45:12Romesh Ranganathan:Losing the audience and bringing them back, there's not many things more fun, right? It's the best. Than just deliberately... To piss them off. To start off with a premise that really pisses them off. And then your logic kind of brings them back in is amazing. Yes. But very difficult. It is. I mean, the pissing off bit is so easy. But when you know you got the goods, right? Yeah, yeah. When you know you got it, I don't trip, you know, and people that walk out early, you missed out on where the real nuggets are. It's always in the last two minutes of the set, like the last five minutes. It's like on a sitcom.

45:45You don't get the story beats until the last 30, last minute, 20, 21 minutes. Then they go, now let's give them a little heart for about a minute or two. And then you go back to a joke. But I think you gotta stay around for the performances because you get to see what they cooked up.

46:05Romesh Ranganathan:I remember watching... In fact, I think you were there as well. We went to watch Bill Burr in London. He takes a special. That must have been great. And he did a thing where the initial premise was, I'm sick of people saying that no means no. It doesn't, right? Like he's talking about women. Because when women say no, it doesn't always mean no. And he... It was at the Royal Albert Hall. He lost 2 ,500 people instantly, right? and then he brought them back and it felt like you know when you're watching a comic and you're you get nervous for them you just think this room is not with you at all yeah but he knew that the bit he was doing and it was fucking amazing to watch that happen man it was incredible yeah I love Bill Burr that happened to me just the other night really twice in London matter of fact both shows was it Wembley Wembley yeah I did something that just everybody was like oh And I was like, good.

46:59You're listening. And then, you know, because sometimes I jab. I don't start with a jab. I start with a right hand, punch you in the face, just because I just want to stir things up. And then I want to earn it back, right? I want to know that you're listening. And you want to see what kind of audience you got. So you start a little dark. Sometimes I start with the dark stuff first, and then I get light. Or I could go light and then get dark. But, eh, why wait? Do you think, what do you think about the art? My brother Damon, you know, showed us the power of true comedy when you can lose them and bring them back.

47:33Yeah. And I love that. And I do that every set.

47:37Romesh Ranganathan:Yeah. One of the things that comics keep getting asked is, and you sort of alluded to when you start talking about scary movies, that, you know, the idea of a fencing comedy and all of that stuff. Do you feel like, is that made up? Well, the people that don't hit the stage, don't, executives don't hit the stage. the social media, those people don't hit the stage. You can't tell me what to do with the audience. You can't judge jokes like that. You go to a comedy club, those people can judge a joke. When you go to a comedy club, people, or a comedy show, people are still laughing. They're not talking about, oh that was offensive.

48:14No, they are laughing. So to me that whole cancel culture is just a bunch of bullshit. It's like social media is like, It interrupts the laughter of a joke. It's like if somebody's heckling you in the middle of your set at a live comedy show. That's equivalent to social media. It's like someone's talking in the middle of you trying to say something funny. They interrupted it, so they killed the joke. That's what's happening on social media. You know what's funny is I always look at the cancel culture like this. If you cancel me, that's okay, because my real audience will always come see me. The people that cancel you, y 'all some bitch ass niggas.

48:56The real niggas gonna stay around. You sensitive people, y 'all shouldn't have came to this show in the first place. So, but if I tell a joke and, you know, to a thousand people and 12 people are offended, that's a great joke. Yeah. Good ratio. I killed it with that. Now if I tell a joke and 988 people get up and walk out, I may want to get some new writers. I may want to rethink this, buddy. But then that was offensive, right? So, you know, I try to make a joke that makes everybody laugh, but it's very rare that everybody's going to laugh at the same time. So you got to hit these people, hit that sector people, hit that sector people, and then you bring them together to enjoy one big laugh together.

49:51But, you know, it's an art form. And I think you should respect art that comes from people that spend so much time on stage, so many times, so much time doing movies. Me and my brothers have worked 200 years in this business. And if you guys want to see comedy, come see it from, you know, guys that have been doing this for 200 years.

50:10Romesh Ranganathan:So we normally ask for like a viral moment or exclusive or whatever. So I'm going to cut to the chase here. What are the chances of there being a White Chicks 2? And would you ever consider it? I think if Scary Movie 6, Scary Movie, comes out and the audience comes and supports it and we know that they want to laugh and that comedy is back, then White Chicks 2 will be the next thing that we'll work on. You heard it here first. Please give it up for Sean and Marlon Wayans. Thank you so much for watching this episode of The Romesh Ranganathan Show.
