There were a lot of new people involved this season.

Youre obviously pretty close to one of the showrunners.

Were always kind of chill and hang out.

There wasnt a mall in the town.

There wasnt a movie theater in the town.

Now we basically still do that, except we make TV and use it to amuse ourselves.

Hes always been a good friend to me, and weve become really close friends outside of Aziz.

Id stay up late watchingTim and Ericwith my friends, and I even went and saw them in concert.

And getting to work with him as he directed was really cool.

I learned a lot from just watching him direct in terms of process.

Hes such a multifaceted guy, interesting, smart guy.

Your parents have figured prominently in a few episodes now.

Beyond that, on a personal level, its kind of weird in a way.

There is an element of that.

[Laughs] But beyond that its fine.

A lot of the episodes are based on Aziz and Alans personal experiences.

Im a weirdly obsessive personality.

For example, in theReligion episode…

I grew up a huge, huge Three 6 Mafia fan.

Theyre like the Beatles to me.

Im a deep Hypnotize Minds head.

So I got a reference to one of my favorite Three 6 Mafia songs on the show!

Last year, I got in a professional wrestling joke, too.

Me and my brother, growing up in the South, we were into pro wrestling.

If you hear any references to dumb s in the show, thats probably me.

A lot of weird, tangential bang out projects thats coming out.
