    This episode goes off the rails. Is Chatsworth really the hub of porn? The thought of Persian Porn, really? We also discuss some off-the-wall work stories, mainly from Sherr, and whether cancel culture is finally being canceled. Hope so. Finally, a message was sent and received from the hornet's nest. We hear you loud and clear.

  • Welcome Back! 2024, Here We Come.
    Jan 24 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    Back and ready for a new year that will hopefully kick some koon! Come join us as we discuss our holiday breaks and our New Year's resolutions, such as finishing what we begin, taking a break from skiing, gall bladder surgeries, and trying our best to remain chubby. Let's all gain weight together and enough of Oooo-Ozempic. Unless you have any to spare?

    We'll even take you to a sun-soaked resort in Cabo, where a scene is ripe for a peace treaty - a Persian-Jewish wedding and a Palestinian-Muslim wedding under one roof!

    Have you ever watched a comedy bit and wondered where the line between humor and controversy lies? We've got that covered, along with a banter-filled debate on the relevance of glitzy award shows and the art of not-so-gracefully aging with progressive lenses. Nostalgia hits as we reminisce about the breakfasts of our past in Iran: caviar for some and raw egg (asalee) for others, and let's not forget kaleh-pache, yum for some and yuck for others. Sheep's head? Really?

    To top off an episode as tangled as a hairbrush in Noush's mother's hair, we share a cry-worthy tale of hair disasters that somehow still ends in laughter. Whether we're expanding our horizons or just our waistlines, we promise to bring more stories, more laughs, and maybe even a few life lessons. So, come for the escapades and stay for the camaraderie—it's all here at our roundtable.

  • Farsi Slanguage, Ghormeh Sabzi, Persian Accents, and a Heroicaine?
    Sep 2 2023

    Send us a Text Message.

    Prepare for a whirlwind of laughter. We start off with a bang, reminiscing about a week filled with natural disasters, school preparations, and the humorous ways we and our families reacted. Our Persian accents caused some truly comedic misunderstandings, and we can't wait to share these tales with you.

    As the laughter subsides, we transition into a mouthwatering conversation about Persian pastries and body image. Ever heard of Bamiyeh? We take you on a culinary journey through this delicious treat. We also dive into a discussion about full-figured women - or 'Haji Pasand' - in Iran. How many drinks have we had while debating the meaning of 'Pasand'? You'll have to tune in to find out!

    But we're not just about laughs and pastries. We also explore the intriguing world of Farsi language and slang. Discover the true meaning behind 'Haji Pasand' and 'Koon Goshad' and how they shape Persian culture. Plus, we can't ignore the elephant in the room - the rise of artificial intelligence and its impact on our daily lives. Our conversation about this transformative technology will leave you with much to ponder. And of course, we wrap up with heartfelt thanks to you, our listeners. Stay connected with us on various platforms and till then, have a wonderful weekend!
