this is kinda wild and really doesn’t pass the sniff test…

BUT 

looking at old photos, it’s pretty hard to deny that old SRK doesn’t look like old George Lopez

WHAT DO YOU THINK? 👇🏽

this is much longer topic, but desis have so many darn insecurities. 

all stemming from colonization, probably (source: trust me bro)

but seriously, managing a cultural identity that is different from your religious identity gets you to behave in a different way…and when the goal is to “fit in,” you can only imagine the lengths to which people will go. 

it’s why we think “Ramadan” was adopted over “Ramzan” as the ongoing nomenclature. 

there are other nuances, but this one always shows up loudly.

OK story time…

yes, it’s been awhile, I’m sure you’ve missed all of us (maybe not sajid tho)

anyhow, ahmed made a wild prediction back in april 2025 about his lifelong team — the KNICKS 🟠🔵 — winning an nba championship…

…and fast forward to june 2026, the Knicks won the finals in convincing fashion

what’s crazy is how convinced and determined ahmed was in his prediction…the fact he specifically called out @jalenbrunson1 makes it that much more crazy…amazing to see this come through!!!

congrats to the @nyknicks and all of their fans (including @ahmedm1rza!)

[ btw, we got tons more content coming…been busy recording! ]

honestly, we tried hard to make a point, but the universe had other plans… 

[insert something here about screen time, i guess]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

you may have the best advice in the world, but it’s probably dumb

why? bc it’s misplaced

when someone is grieving, your job is to make sure that they feel heard / seen / comforted…

…they did not come to you for some ‘amazing’ advice that will pull them out of their grief; they came to you bc they felt you were an adequate steward of their emotions

so how do you service their emotional needs?

by giving people space and airtime…that’s it

how can you have high EQ, if you don’t see what EQ looks like in the first place?

and in order to SEE that emotion, men / dads / desi dads need to SHOW that emotion…which we know in most cases isn’t happening

dads / men — show your emotions bc your families are depending on it; kids need to see the full range of you, if we want to develop high EQ kids

so, take this as a signal to cry more often than you do

yeah, IDK kids can be a whole lot of everything…

fun, frustrating, everything else in between

but man oh man, are they emotionally perceptive

here’s a quick wholesome reflection on our kids being there for us in our moment of need 

[btw, tomorrow we drop our next episode of the pod; it’s more serious than our usual banter, but a very necessary conversation on death, grief, and support…hope you tune in]

just shut up and go watch this show 

why?

bc for the longest time, you’ve only seen pakistanis, and specifically pakistani men, a certain way…

…and this show finally breaks that mold

bait is a real glimpse into pakistani life and everything that comes with it — you know, the traditions, the nonstop drama, and the constant mental load 

[song choice on purpose to illustrate that caricature btw]

RANT TIME

everything in media / content / tech sucks today bc everyone wants to do stuff that is “safe”

no one wants to take any creative license for the risk of being canceled or whatever

i mean, we literally had a show in the 90s with talking dinosaurs that depicted a working class family better than any of the drivel out there today

and that’s the rant

we’re stunting our kids ability to sense creativity and be creative bc we’ve removed all the texture from society… the same texture that gave us character, grit, and a glimpse into what’s possible

now it’s all some beautifully colored and composed nonsense

…ANYWAY, give your kids some texture, expand their horizons, and let them play outside of the sandbox 

/endrant

maybe, just maybe all the daddy issues we’ve had over the last couple of decades are related to the “mid” father figures we idolized during the 90s

we look at dads today, and they are so different — they’re changing diapers, they’re doing bed time, they’re doing the dishes, they are doing…

…and that’s the key: DOING

dads today do more with their kids than any generation before

AND this is a huge societal achievement and should be celebrated more often

[not saying, moms are doing less, also not saying that moms don’t deserve their own special place in life’s hall of fame]

jus’ sayin’ that it’s ok to acknowledge and appreciate today’s dads who do so much more with less

look, i don’t want this to be a bash session on muslims bc there’s enough islamophobia to last several generations

THAT SAID

we need to talk about masjid entrances…they’re exclusive

we get the religiosity of it — separate entrances for the purposes of prayer; after all, you are there to connect with Allah (swt), not Aliya 

[FWIW, many other religions also stipulate separating men and women during prayer — orthodox judaism, some sects of christianity to name a couple]

but if that’s the case, then we should aim to make all entrances of the same convenience and quality…we can’t have one “hero” entrance and one side entrance that’s designed as an after thought

some random musings 

peace and love ✌🏽

RIP to my first TV dad, i learned so much from you❗️

he had such a vibe, such a cool cat calmness to him

all around great guy and great dad that cared for his daughters 

what’s even more trippy is that his lessons are ever more relevant for the time we live in today 

wish we had more TV dads like him
