  SPEAKER_01: I'm ready, I'm excited.
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_01: All right, so who are we gonna start out with?
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_01: Let's start off with let's start off with Raya.
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_01: Raya, okay.
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_01: That's Lena's daughters.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_00: Raya, by the way, yeah, like we gave him a due due date and time, and she handed it in.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_01: She's responsible.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_01: She's when she was supposed to hand it in.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so she turned it in on time, unlike the boys.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_00: Like yesterday, Baddie sent me his at 12 a.m.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_00: Or this morning, actually.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's that's by COB as I like to call it.
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_00: By close of business.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, the day is exactly all right.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_01: So we're gonna start off with hers first, right?
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I mean, I'm gonna I think I'm gonna pick one from each one.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_00: We don't have hers like addressed to each person, it's written by hand and some of us both.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm gonna kind of combine two questions she had for you.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_00: So Raya's first, uh, we're gonna go with Raya first.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_00: Because she's a responsible one, so she gets to go first.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, since Raya's responsible, we're gonna go with her first.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_00: Um, the others are responsible.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: I feel like we're hating on them.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_00: No, they're fine.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_01: She just is like, she, when you give her something, she just like does it when she supposed to.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_01: She doesn't procrastinate, it's just her personality.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm gonna combine two of her questions into one.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_00: So her first question is Um, what products get rid of puffy, frizzy hair?
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_00: And she had another question for you where she said, How do you know uh so much about beauty products?
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_01: Oh wow.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_01: I I love that question from her.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_01: So, what products get rid of puffy and frizzy hair?
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_01: Usually I tell people if you have puffy and frizzy hair, it's probably because it's supposed to be curly and you're straightening it.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_01: So it's not, she's not.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_01: Uh definitely not.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_01: No, no, no, no.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_01: But it's just it could there's a there's a lot of reasons, right?
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_01: So, like what what you have to first figure out like why is your hair frizzy?
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_01: So that's what I would tell her.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_01: But I have to figure out why is your hair frizzy?
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_01: Is it dry?
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_01: Are you maybe washing it every day?
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_01: You're not supposed to wash hair every day, especially as your hair gets longer.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_01: Well, she has been going to the pool a lot.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_01: That's probably why it's dry and frizzy, my friend.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_01: But you probably just need a good leave-in conditioner before you hit the pool.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_01: Usually that helps a lot with the chlorine and the harsh chemicals like not penetrating your hair shaft.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_01: So I would probably do that.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I would, I would, and I'll send you some recommendations.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna text you some recommendations.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, because she's like, when I go back to school, I want to let my hair down, but I don't want it to be like all of it.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_01: It's hard because like when you let your hair down, you have to, you're fighting with like natural elements.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_01: So it that becomes very difficult.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_01: But to get rid of, as she says, puffy or frizzy hair, that has a lot to do with your in-shower routine and your post-shower routine.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_01: So it, you know, we'll we we can talk through that.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_01: But really quickly, for frizzy hair, the best thing to do is to probably figure out like what's causing the frizz.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_01: Sometimes it's anything from, like I said, the elements outside, like nature, to maybe what if you have like hard water, or if you know, it could be that you're not you or yourself are not drinking enough water.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_01: That's the other thing.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_01: But the best thing to do is to buy products that work for your hair.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_01: So, like if your hair is frizzy, but your scalp is balanced, balance being like it's not too dry and it's not too oily, you probably need to leave your conditioner on the shower a little bit longer.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_01: And you probably need to make sure that you actually are using an in-shower brush to brush through your hair.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_01: Brush through the thing.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_01: That's a lot of details.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, make sure that it gets to the end.
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_01: And then when you uh when you leave the shower, you probably need a good leave-in conditioner, something that is not gonna weigh your hair down.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_01: She has that.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_00: She has it.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_00: You know, we because we spoke to you about this before, but now she has.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_00: I think I'm just gonna let her FaceTime you.
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think she just needs like because I have no idea.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_00: Like this is not my area.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_01: And then for beauty products, it's just something that I'm interested in.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm always constantly needing, you know, ingredients and what different ingredients to go, you know, do together.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_01: And for the most part, I always say, like, with beauty, you know, it's kind of like skincare.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_01: It's like the stuff that you eat.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_01: If you're wearing it on your face all day, you at least should know what's in there, right?
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_01: So why do I know so much?
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_01: Probably because I'm super, not probably, I'm very interested in beauty products in general.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but I'm also more interested in figuring out how they're actually manufactured and made and where and how.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_01: And and so that's why.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_00: So we're gonna go with one of Almar's now, which is Hanan's son.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_00: Um so his what one of his questions was, what is your favorite singer and favorite song?
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_00: What is my that's I can't answer that.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_00: Why don't you start?
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_00: Because I I have so many.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I mean, yeah, there's it's hard to pick uh a specific person, but my favorite band is definitely Pink Floyd.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_01: And my favorite your favorite song is not Wayne Adam Allah.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_00: See, you see the hate, you see the hate I'm getting.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_00: That was really good.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it was good.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_00: No, it's not.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I love Win Adam Allah.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_00: I love Palestinian music, but um, you just ruined my train of thought completely.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you, thank you.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, you would do this to her always, always.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_00: Look at me like taking your son's question seriously and trying to like actually respond to him anyway.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_00: My favorite band, I'm not even gonna look at you.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_00: My favorite band, I'm at is Pink Floyd, and my favorite song for them is uh it's called Time.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, but I just don't listen to country music.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_00: I'm sorry, everything is good, I'm good with everything except country.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_00: Except country.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_00: I love all music.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_00: You love country music?
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_00: I even say love is a really strong word.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_01: There's some country music songs that I really like, but as a genre, is it my favorite?
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_01: No, but I can't pick one song and say, Oh, that's my favorite song of all time, because if you know me, every time a song comes out, I'm like, oh my god, this is my jam.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_01: I love this song.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah, she sings a lot too.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I don't know if I have one song that I really love, uh, or an era or a band or anything.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_01: I love everything, so yeah, I love music in general.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_00: So that's hard, it's hard to answer that question, but anyway.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_00: So now we're gonna get one from Baddie, who's her son, my son.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_00: He says, For Khalto Hanan.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_00: What are your political views?
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_00: Where do you think you are on the political compass?
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_01: Well, that question.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_01: Um, let's see, where am I uh political?
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_01: So when somebody asks me what's your political views, I always say I'm a human first and foremost.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_01: That's what I care about more than anything else.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_01: You know what he's gonna say to that, right?
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_00: When he watches this, he's gonna be he's gonna be like, that's a liberal response.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_01: It is a liberal response, and that's okay.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_01: I'm a little bit, yes, I'm liberal.
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_01: I'm I'm I can feel free saying that, but no, I'm a human first and foremost before anything.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_01: So for me, if an issue, uh if there's whether whatever the issue may be, right?
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_01: Whether it is like foreign, whether it is um like domestic, if it has to deal with people, I will always look at you know the human suffering or the human aspect of something before I make any decision about how I feel about something.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_01: But that's my answer in short.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, for me, I mean, he already knows my political views, but yeah, I'm definitely not like I think I I like your response, but I'm definitely not um how do I even say that?
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_00: Like, yeah, I think I I lean more liberal.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_00: You're liberal.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, definitely.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_00: I just don't want to upset anybody.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_01: It's okay, you're not upsetting anybody, but it's like it's I don't here's the thing, right?
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_01: I don't align myself with anybody.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and it's not for every single situation either.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_00: You know, uh like we're not like part of the herd just agreeing with like you know, like we have different sometimes it depending on the issue or or or the situation, yeah.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_00: My views may may be a little bit different.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_01: No, but my like I said, first and foremost, I'm a human.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_01: And if something like counters, if there's something that's happening in the world that is a transgression against people or against humanity, you can count on me to be against that.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, absolutely.
• 8:37
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I think we're in agreement for that one.
• 8:39
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I'm gonna get I'm gonna I think that's a great question.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_01: He said, for mama, okay?
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, for mama.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_01: Do you prefer Lana or Lena?
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_01: And for you guys, you guys don't know this, but Lena has two names, okay?
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_01: She's a double agent.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_01: No, not she basically I met her, her name was Lena.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, okay, yes.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_01: Lena on everything.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_01: And then I meet her family, they're like Lana.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_01: I was like, who are they?
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_01: Lana.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_00: I have two beautiful names.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_00: I like his question is do you prefer Lana or Lena?
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_00: And I think I like both.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_00: I like you being able to use both.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_00: It's hard to pick because the this entire time Lena has been used in like a professional setting.
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_00: What are you laughing at?
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_00: You didn't see my face.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, You're just mad because you don't have two names.

  SPEAKER_00: I have a middle name, I have a last name.
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_00: No, that doesn't count.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_00: So the reason I have two different names is because there was a typo.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_00: And you know, when you're the youngest out of six kids, yeah, by the time you're around, it's just imagine.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_00: We're not gonna go back.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_00: It's okay.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_00: We'll call her Lana at home.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_00: They can call her Lena.
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_00: It's not a professionally.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_01: You know, basically, Lena was like the like she said, the youngest of six kids.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_01: Somebody made a typo.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_01: They're like, we do not have time to go back and fix this with public record.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_01: So she's just gonna be Lena.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_01: And since we left the name Lana, we're just gonna call her that.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_00: So now I have two names.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.

• 11:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, you're yes.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_00: She can't.

  SPEAKER_00: I guess you have to have a good neck to be determined.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_00: That's true.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_00: Because if you don't have a good neck, you know, your head just doesn't have a good neck.

  SPEAKER_01: I mean yeah.

  SPEAKER_01: I wish I did, but when I have free time, when the rare occasion that I have free time, I usually like to do something for myself, like get a massage or get a medicure pedicure, or something like where I feel like I'm treating myself.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_01: But free time is like few and far in between.
• 12:16

• 14:04
  SPEAKER_00: So she asks me, what would you be if you weren't a producer or journalist?
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_00: Because literally, since I was 13 years old, I that's what I wanted to do.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_00: With your life?
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_00: I've always wanted to be a journalist.
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_00: I'd be a millionaire.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_00: How?
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_01: Don't ask me.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_01: That doesn't count.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_01: That's what I want to be.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_00: No, what would you do if you weren't doing what you're doing now?
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_01: Well, come on.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_01: What like what do I really want to do?
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my god, I would be an Egyptologist.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_01: Makes sense.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I love that.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_01: I love I love history.
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_01: You know, maybe not just an Egypt, like an archaeologist.
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_01: I would love to have that.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_00: I can see you doing that.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_01: I would definitely specifically specifically Egyptology.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_01: God, I love, I love ancient history.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_01: I'm always amazed when I stop to think, like, oh, people walk the steam, these same steps like thousands of years before us.
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_01: I'm always humbled by that.
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_00: Anyway, okay.
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I don't know, Raya.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_00: It's tough for me to answer that question.
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I don't think I'd want to be a doctor or anything like that because it just requires too much skill.
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's very stressful.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_00: So she so uh Baddy is asking uh good fellas or The Godfather?
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_00: The Godfather.
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_00: I don't think you can pick Baddie.
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_00: Those are two very different movies, okay?
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_00: They're both excellent, but they're just a whole it's just different.
• 15:20
  SPEAKER_00: The Godfather.
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, The Godfather is a classic movie.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_00: It's one of the top, I think, three movies in the history of time.
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like I think of all time.
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_00: But I think The Godfather is more about family, and it's also fiction, it's not based on a true story, but the Goodfellas, I think, kind of shows you like the ugliness.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, you see that in in in The Godfather, but the ugliness of the mob, you see that more in Goodfellas, I think.
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_00: And and whereas the first movie, uh, Godfather, it's more about family and it's about the boss and how he's he's dealing with it.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_00: But in terms of Goodfellas, I mean I love both.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_00: I love both movies.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_00: Those are like classic movies I love, but they're just very different.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_00: You can't, for me, I can't pick which one is better.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, I would pick The Godfather.
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, it's just two different styles of movies, though.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_00: I'd still pick The Godfather.
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, yeah, The Godfather.
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_00: I think if I had to pick, it would have to be Godfather.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, definitely.
• 16:12
  SPEAKER_01: No, no contest.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, before I forget, this little bracelet.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_01: Thanks, Naria.

  SPEAKER_01: She made us matching bracelets and she has one too.
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_01: They're super cute, and they actually fit really nice and they're beaded well, and you know.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_01: So maybe we'll put her into business.

  SPEAKER_01: These are super cute.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they are.

  SPEAKER_00: What is your biggest fear?
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, what's your biggest fear, Hanan?
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_00: Something happening to one of my kids, to one of you guys.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_00: That's my biggest fear.

  SPEAKER_00: That's absolutely me too.
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_00: That's it.

  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.

  SPEAKER_01: Oh my gosh, that was ages ago.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_01: But uh, I don't know.
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_01: We just had like we just had a good time when we hung out, and to me, that's the best thing ever is when you spend time with somebody and you have a good time when you hang out, and it's like not dramatic.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, my reason is because I liked her hair.
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_01: That's it.
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_01: She didn't like anything else about me except my hair.
• 17:19
  SPEAKER_01: No, no, she's amazing.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_01: Honestly, when we were in college, she was just nice, she was chill, she didn't have a lot of drama.
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, the drama that we had at that age.
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_01: But yeah, I would say like it's just easy when it's a relationship, it's easy to sustain you just kind of figure it out when you first get into it.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_00: You really do.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_00: So she she was at the bottom here.
• 17:36
  SPEAKER_00: She's this is for both of us.

  SPEAKER_00: She's like, Can you guys tell the viewers about your cracker barrel story and experience?
• 17:42
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my because I told her about that one time.

  SPEAKER_01: But it wasn't more than a four hour.
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_01: No, it was five, uh, which is fine, whatever.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_01: It's okay, it's not a big deal.
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_01: And we did it for a good cause, right?
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_01: We were out to see Dana.

  SPEAKER_01: We had gone down to see Dana.

• 18:18
  SPEAKER_00: We finished working and then we drove.

  SPEAKER_01: It's how are you feeling?
• 21:18
  SPEAKER_01: That's what determines your shoe option.
