Show notes

WELCOME TO THE LIVE SHOW!! 🎉✨

We pulled out all the stops for this one, bringing together an amazing lineup of guests and unforgettable moments. First up, Timaj Garad takes us into the fascinating world of an artist 🎨, followed by Adel from the Loose Merto Podcast sharing his unique perspective on creativity and culture 🎙️.

Then, we’re treated to an inspiring spoken word performance that’ll give you chills 🖋️✨. Najma Suldan joins us next to explore the transformative world of therapy and how to navigate Seasonal Affective Disorder (because the winter blues are real ❄️💡).

But wait—Hassan Phills brings the laughs as he dives into the world of comedy 😂, and we wrap up with the wildest question ever: what would it be like to have Drake show up at your show? 👀🎤

Grab your popcorn, cousins—this episode is a vibe from start to finish! 🛋️🔥

Is it EASIER to become WEALTHY now? Dec 19, 2024

Show notes

Haaaappyyy Thursday Cousins!!!!

See...we're being consistent now LOL. Let's get right to the point, shall we? WE'RE DOING A LIVE SHOW AND WE CAN'T WAIT TO MEET YOU! Link to purchase tickets is here: https://shorturl.at/IoRBk

Immediately after our announcement, we had some technical difficulties and ended up almost losing the first 30 minutes of our footage (Amir recovered it though, he's the GOAT I tell ya). Anyways, I shared a cute monkey video with Amir on camera (this is actually super normal and happens more than you think, he usually appreciates them, I hope you guys do too!). The Google Pixel 9 is out and looks kinda nice...I may have to make to make the switch over, but we'll see...

We then went on our usual route of talking about random sh!t but you guys like that stuff so enjoy the banter, the talks about robots taking over the world and dead internet theory and updates from last week's topics: America's undercover hero Luigi and South Korea's President's impeachment. All of that is followed by the lost footage...the audio is questionable, we know, but at least Amir was able to save it, so we hope you enjoy!!!!!!!

Can't We Be Happy For Syrians? Dec 12, 2024

Show notes

Haaaappyyy Thursday Cousins!!

This week’s episode is bugging out (literally—check your ears 👂🏽🐜), and we’ve got plenty of surprises in store, so SUBSCRIBE for the tea! 🍵 First up, the United HealthCare CEO takes an unexpected “boink,” and somehow we end up unpacking geopolitics and Cold Colonialism?! 🌍

Speaking of the world, Syria is FREE (finally 🎉), but why are Syrian influencers getting shamed for celebrating? 🤔 Is happiness controversial now? We dive into how global dynamics are shifting and ask the real questions: Has your worldview changed recently, or are you living under a rock? 🪨

Also… Canada joining America? What’s going on up there?! Meanwhile, South Korea, are you good? (Blink twice if you need help 👀). And of course, we’re rounding it all off by responding to your comments—because y’all always bring the heat 🔥.

Grab your snacks, cousins, this one’s packed with twists and turns! 🛋️✨

Is Love Really Blind?....Habibi Oct 24, 2024

Show notes

Happyyyyy Thursdayyyy Cousins!!!!!!

So we missed another week...SORRY! We decided to take a family trip to LA to visit our sis Aysha and Yasin! While in LA, we binge-watched Love is Blind Habibi and were hooked! We also discuss AI's involvement in matchmaking as promoted by the Muslim matrimony app, InPairs...speaking of, if you get this video to 300 likes, Sara *may* sign up for an account!

Muzz has a genius marketing team - the Find Mohammed a wife campaign has been all over social media!

We also covered a few topics of things that happened while we were in LA, Liam Payne's tragic passing, creators begging for "gifts" on TikTok and Yahya Sinwar being unalived.

New Beginnings and Home Invasions?!? | feat. @AyshaHarun Sep 19, 2024

Show notes

Haaaappyyy Thursday Cousins!!!!

We're back with our fave reoccurring guest, our sis - Aysha! We chatted all about the process of how her collaboration with Ami Colé came about, from shooting her shot with the founder of the company to the product development -- which btw, if you haven't already, make sure you head over to Sephora OR the Ami Colé to purchase the shade 'Happy' in their lip oil. We also spoke about how Amir is coping with his new life and settling into a new routine. And we ended off the episode shining a spotlight on the very unfortunate events that took place in Quebec a few weeks ago with Gulaid Omar, who faced extreme police brutality and it was all caught on camera.
