2:05
SPEAKER_01: Oh, you're going there.
2:06
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you're going there.
2:06
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
2:07
SPEAKER_00: There are people who have made it a point to just go on the space and be negative and be rude and make negative comments.
2:16
SPEAKER_00: We have a friend who was kind enough to like share her culture, her language, her heritage with us.
2:22
SPEAKER_00: And you guys, they're not you guys.
2:24
SPEAKER_00: Not you guys.
2:25
SPEAKER_00: No, I'm sorry.
2:25
SPEAKER_00: I retract that.
2:26
SPEAKER_01: Some people, more people out there who are just saying, oh, she's not Moroccan.
2:30
SPEAKER_00: Oh, that's not what we say.
2:31
SPEAKER_00: Uh you're just like invalidating her existence because she doesn't talk the way that you do.
2:35
SPEAKER_00: So, like, that really got on my nerve.
2:37
SPEAKER_01: Just because of one word.
2:38
SPEAKER_01: She said one word differently than the majority of Moroccans and all of us.
2:41
SPEAKER_00: And you know, if we're laughing while we're doing something, we're not making fun of anybody, we're just having a good time.
2:45
SPEAKER_00: So again, I just wanted to do a quick reminder, and I'm gonna stop after this.
2:48
SPEAKER_00: I'm not gonna mention anything else.
2:50
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, this is a fun, positive space.
2:52
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:52
SPEAKER_00: If we're not talking about what's going on in the world, it's because we mean to not what talk about what's going on in the world.
2:57
SPEAKER_00: Um, we just this is light.
2:59
SPEAKER_00: Like we just this you're supposed to come here and hang out with a friend and have a good time and forget the terrible things happening.
3:04
SPEAKER_01: And if you want that kind of podcast, if you want the politics and if you want all the depressing that ain't us, that's not us.
3:09
SPEAKER_01: Go find something else.
3:10
SPEAKER_01: I am here or listen to.
3:12

3:21
SPEAKER_00: It's just my opinion.
3:22
SPEAKER_00: I'm entitled to it.
3:23
SPEAKER_01: The type of podcast, I think sometimes we have to reiterate that, and I feel bad that I have to do this uh on a regular basis, we have to do this on a regular basis because unfortunately a lot of people uh not a lot of people, but some people feel the need to make comments, and I'm just like, this is not the space for it's not like we are not, we never claim to be a political podcast, we never claim to be anything uh uh more than just like Hanan said, a space.
3:47

15:48
SPEAKER_00: It was so weird.
15:49

18:41
SPEAKER_01: Like you're preparing, and I haven't been there in six years, and you know, no one's asking for anything.
18:46
SPEAKER_01: Everyone's so sweet, but I'm like, no, I can't like come empty-handed.
18:48
SPEAKER_01: So I'm bugging them to tell me what they want.
18:50

18:52
SPEAKER_01: So now I'm in the process of buying all this stuff, and thank God for online shopping.
18:55
SPEAKER_01: Seriously.
18:56
SPEAKER_01: Uh-uh.
18:56
SPEAKER_01: Like, I can't find anything when you act when I actually go physically to the mall.

19:01
SPEAKER_00: I I I very so like I go to the mall, but I go to like return stuff.
19:04
SPEAKER_00: I don't go to the money.
19:05
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, me too.
19:06
SPEAKER_01: Like, I went to the mall the other day and just returned a bunch of stuff because I'm like, no.
19:09
SPEAKER_00: No, it's really weird.
19:10
SPEAKER_00: Like, I agree with you.
19:11
SPEAKER_00: I don't think I find the same amount, like no.
19:13
SPEAKER_00: I I honestly, and it's been like that since the pandemic.
19:16
SPEAKER_00: Like, you know, it's just it's weird.
19:18
SPEAKER_00: You don't find the same amount of like inventory in the store that you would online.
19:22
SPEAKER_00: So I and yeah, there's there's a lot to be uh be said for that.
19:25
SPEAKER_00: But yeah, preparing to go overseas is um it's both exact exciting and exhausting.
19:30
SPEAKER_01: And I'm gonna try to take you guys with me.
19:31
SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna try to do some stuff.
19:33
SPEAKER_00: I think it would be really fun for everybody to experience things like you know, inside Jerusalem.
19:38
SPEAKER_00: Yes, inshallah.
19:38
SPEAKER_00: For people to experience, you know, your your awesome hometown.
19:42
SPEAKER_01: Because the Israeli military has to approve my my permit.
19:44
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
19:46
SPEAKER_01: But you know, what are you gonna do?
19:48
SPEAKER_01: Nothing.
19:48
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm gonna be the first thing I apply for inshallah once I get there, so I can take the kids.
19:56
SPEAKER_01: Well, I took them last time and I had to get a permit.
19:58
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but I feel like last time they were little.
19:59
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but now like I also want to take them to other like towns in Philadelphia, like in Palestine, and just show them around.
20:05
SPEAKER_01: Um, it'll be great if I can take them to Haifa, for example.
20:08
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I don't know how the permit situation works.
20:11
SPEAKER_00: I don't know either.
20:12
SPEAKER_00: I'm the last person that really would take this question.
20:14
SPEAKER_01: I know I know people there, I I have a couple friends there that can help you out to help me figure out, like navigate the whole situation.
20:21
SPEAKER_01: Um, but yeah, like I'm I'm excited about it, a little worried.
20:24
SPEAKER_01: I'm not gonna lie, because like the whole thing.
20:26
SPEAKER_00: Oh, like just the political situation.
20:28
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and I just you know it's uh yeah, it's weird.
20:31
SPEAKER_00: It's like when you when you look at like um what's going on in like Israeli politics, it does make me feel really unfortunate.
20:36
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I'm not like I'm not worried or scared for my safety, like that's not the thing.
20:39
SPEAKER_01: It's just like I just noticed.
20:41
SPEAKER_00: But you worry about instability.
20:42
SPEAKER_01: I think like if it's one thing when it's I would say it's one thing when you're just you, yeah, but when you're mom, when you have your kids with you, things are just a whole different yeah.
20:51
SPEAKER_01: But then again, like this is what Palestinians live uh through every day.
20:55
SPEAKER_01: So inshallah, inshallah.
20:57
SPEAKER_01: Like I'm I'm I'm praying and hoping that it goes well.
21:00
SPEAKER_00: No, it will it will it will go extremely well, inshaAllah.
21:04
SPEAKER_01: You gotta come with me next time.

22:45
SPEAKER_01: I think it changes.
22:47
SPEAKER_00: I don't think so, actually.
22:48
