  SPEAKER_01: Oh my god.
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_00: I used to be in a page like this on Facebook.
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_01: Seriously?
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my god, we really are old right now.
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_00: Facebook.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_00: I used to be on a page like this on Facebook, and mind you, I was married.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_00: But uh but it was on there then.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_00: Investigation.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_00: I was doing investigative purposes.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_00: Discover henan.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_00: Uh no, it would yeah, I was I was actually doing research, but basically it was um research for who, Yachty.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_00: That's a story for a different time.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_00: All right, but basically, it was a page of all the women in the DC metro area, right?
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_00: And they post men that they've dated or gone out with.
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_00: And basically, if they're creepy, this is what this is.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_00: So it was like that, but it was uh now I have to remember what it was called.
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, so this app is this is what this app does.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_01: So like I'll tell you what it's called.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so they'll post like a picture, I think, of a guy.
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, oh yeah.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_01: And like, hey guys, be careful.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_01: These are his red flags, these are his green flags.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_01: A lot of them don't have green flags.
• 10:50
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it was it was um, it was called Are We Dating the Same Guy?
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah, are we dating the same guy?
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_00: Because people would be like, oh my God, you know, in the DC metro area, I guess look, in a lot of areas across the country, across the world, dating is really hard.
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_00: I guess I fully recognize that Lena and I might not have an opinion on this because we're married women.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_01: We've been married, too.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and we've been married, right, for a long time.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_00: But I I pause and I think to myself, like, it's hard.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_00: And I I felt so bad because a lot of these women would post things on there, and it was no longer about are we dating the same guy?
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_00: Um and and the reason that I did this was because we had a you know, we we had a friend who was like, Okay, somebody's saying stuff in there about me, and it's not true, and it's based on like one interaction, right?
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_01: So is the friend a guy?
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_00: A guy.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, okay.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_00: And it like, so it's like like yes, I can see one side, but I also think sometimes it's k it can be a little unfair.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, well, the I was reading an article yesterday about this, and there there was a lawyer on there, and he he was warning these women, hey, I feel like that's libel.
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he's lamping.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_01: Be careful because you could you can be sued if this person starts getting harassed his life.
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_01: So they're saying, you know, just go into it with a lot of caution.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_00: And that's what happened to my friend.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah is that it started getting around, it got to one of the people that he works with, and then people at work started talking about it.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_00: And then you're like, what is happening?
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but I think I think what's happening in Dearborn, and maybe, you know, like down the road we can talk to someone about this who's from there, but like I think it's causing such uh uh such chaos because a lot of these guys are upset, and these guys are like some of them, not all of them, but some of them are like real, like slimy men.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, well, if you're slimy, yeah, you deserve it.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and so they're freaking out, and there's no way for them to get in and see what's being said, but then like there it's really affecting like some they like I was reading some article where this this guy was married, he had two wives, and he was still cheating.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_01: Like he had two and he's still cheating.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_01: So it's it's it's driving the guys crazy.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, the several so I I understand, like I think this is you can use it, but just be very careful because like the you can get sued.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_00: You can get sued, I get that.
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_00: But at the same time, if you you have nothing to worry about as a guy if you're not doing anything wrong, it's really that simple.
• 13:11
  SPEAKER_00: That's true.
• 13:11
  SPEAKER_00: It wouldn't even cross my mind, like you know, uh if you're a good dude, it doesn't really matter if there's a tea app or if there's a coffee app, nobody cares.
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_00: You're doing fine, you're like living your best life, you're gonna be okay.
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_00: The people that are worried about this are the people that have a reason to worry about this because they're gross and dirty and disgusting.
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and they're out there doing things they're not supposed to be doing.
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_00: I agree.
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_00: Just just tread carefully.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_00: That's all I'm gonna say.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_00: Because like if you're posting, you can't women respond back and be like, Thanks, Lena, for letting us know about the tea app.
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_00: We had no idea.
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_01: No, everyone knows about it.
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_01: I think yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_01: If you're on TikTok, yeah, like if you're on Arab TikTok, yeah, everybody knows about it.

• 21:56
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, no.

  SPEAKER_01: And then like I search it up, and there's a whole Different way to get to the part where you actually are like you get verified for free.
• 22:03
  SPEAKER_01: So I submitted, and the one thing we were missing is like we weren't covered in the news.
• 22:07
  SPEAKER_01: Like we need someone if you if there's any journalists out there.

  SPEAKER_01: Out there, please cover us.

  SPEAKER_01: I guess.
• 22:25
  SPEAKER_01: What are you talking about right now?

  SPEAKER_01: Malay?
• 22:28
  SPEAKER_01: No, I mean the publication needs to like we don't need some Arab like TV.
• 22:33
  SPEAKER_01: Why is the Arab TV station gonna do it?
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_01: Why do they care about us even?
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_01: I know.
• 22:37
  SPEAKER_01: Because we're Arab American American.
• 22:39
  SPEAKER_00: They don't give a shit about us.
• 22:40
  SPEAKER_01: I guess.

• 22:46
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 22:46
  SPEAKER_00: What else do we want to talk about?
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_01: By the way, but by the way, we mashallah, we got like over 10k followers on Instagram.
• 22:53
  SPEAKER_01: TikTok, we got like a few.
• 22:55
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 22:55
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but I'm not liking the TikTok algorithm these days.
• 22:58
  SPEAKER_01: Why?
• 22:58
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 22:59
  SPEAKER_01: It used to be much better.
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_01: It used to be much easier.
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_01: I think maybe they're they're waiting for that transition to sell to exactly.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_00: I I think it already happened.
• 23:06
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I think what they're doing is they're gonna have a separate TikTok.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_01: That's the rumor.
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_01: They're gonna have a separate TikTok for the US, which sucks.
• 23:12
  SPEAKER_01: It's gonna be another meta thing.
• 23:14
  SPEAKER_00: Honestly, I'm over it.
• 23:16
  SPEAKER_00: I feel like social media is just a a I don't know.
• 23:20
  SPEAKER_00: I feel like we're swimming in a dirty pond.
• 23:22
  SPEAKER_01: Does that make sense?
• 23:23
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, uh you can't live with I mean, that's just part of culture now.
• 23:26
  SPEAKER_01: I know.
• 23:26
  SPEAKER_01: You gotta deal with it.
• 23:27
  SPEAKER_00: But like we had that one thing that wasn't being controlled.
• 23:32
  SPEAKER_00: But it and it's not even for our content.
• 23:34
  SPEAKER_00: I just look at it just like uh in so many different for so many different things.
• 23:38
  SPEAKER_00: It was the one thing that like there wasn't anything, any way that you could throttle people, that you could stop a certain type of message.
• 23:44
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and I feel like even that's gone now.
• 23:46
  SPEAKER_00: God, why were you gonna depress me?
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_00: I like for a split second, we've forgotten about that.
• 23:51
  SPEAKER_01: We're good.
• 23:52
  SPEAKER_01: And then we have we're getting we're we're doing better on uh on YouTube.
• 23:55
  SPEAKER_01: On YouTube as well.
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_00: Honestly, I'm gonna tell you guys something.
• 23:59
  SPEAKER_00: I don't even care how this is doing, I just have a good time doing it.
• 24:02
  SPEAKER_00: So, and it's nice when we get positive interactions from people.
• 24:06
  SPEAKER_00: And you know what made me really excited?
• 24:08
  SPEAKER_00: There is somebody that reached out to us on Instagram, and she it was on one of the videos about like, you know the Arabic.
• 24:15
  SPEAKER_00: The Arabic words.
• 24:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the Arabic words.
• 24:18
  SPEAKER_00: I loved it so much because she said, Hey, my dad is Egyptian and he used to sing me this song.
• 24:24
  SPEAKER_00: And Lena responded back to her, and she's like, Oh, Hanan can help you with this.
• 24:27
  SPEAKER_00: She was looking for the lyrics for Eklik Minin nya butth, eklick minin.
• 24:31
  SPEAKER_00: And I just thought it was the cutest thing.
• 24:33
  SPEAKER_00: That's the that's the reason that I love doing this stuff.
• 24:35
  SPEAKER_00: You get messages like this, the fact that we can, you know, unlock a core memory for somebody or you know, be part of their like nostalgic feelings or thoughts, like that's it.
• 24:44
  SPEAKER_00: I'm I'm happy, I'm golden, life is good.
• 24:47
  SPEAKER_00: Um, yeah, I'm not really looking for much more than that.
• 24:49
  SPEAKER_01: I want money.
• 24:50
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, that's fine.
• 24:51
  SPEAKER_00: We all want money.
• 24:52
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, to make some.
• 24:53
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I mean it's fine.
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_01: It's fine.
• 24:55
  SPEAKER_01: No, no, I'm joking.
• 24:56
  SPEAKER_01: I I I'm totally with you on that.
• 24:58
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, it would be look, would it be nice for this to be the only thing we do?
• 25:00
  SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
• 25:01
  SPEAKER_00: At the same time, though, like I I genuinely, genuinely, genuinely, when we first started doing this, I think both Lena and I, well, let me not speak for Lena, me, myself at least, I'd be like, oh my gosh, I have to make sure my hair looks good, my makeup looks good.
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_00: This I mean, I do to some extent.
• 25:15
  SPEAKER_00: But now I feel like okay, we sit down and we talk like I'm hanging out with my friends.
• 25:19
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's it.
• 25:19
  SPEAKER_00: So like it doesn't really matter what I look like, it's gonna be fine, you know?
• 25:22
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, because I was telling you, um, because you lost a lot of weight.
• 25:24
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 25:25
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, I did.
• 25:25
  SPEAKER_01: So I was telling Hanan, I was like, before we were filming, I was like, I was trying to look up like some of the old we have.
• 25:30
  SPEAKER_00: It's really not a lot, it's like 25 pounds.
• 25:32
  SPEAKER_01: Dude, that's a lot.
• 25:33
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 25:33
  SPEAKER_01: That's a lot.
• 25:34
  SPEAKER_01: So I was telling her, I was like, I was going through the stuff we have.
• 25:36
  SPEAKER_01: I was like, you know, thinking of I had to.
• 25:38
  SPEAKER_00: I was really, I was really just unhealthy, you guys.
• 25:41
  SPEAKER_00: My pants didn't fit anymore.
• 25:42
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so so I was looking through the stuff to kind of like maybe cut some material for social media, and I'm like, I found a couple of mic, but I did it.
• 25:49
  SPEAKER_01: I was telling Henan I didn't want to do her dirty.
• 25:51
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, you cares?
• 25:52
  SPEAKER_01: This was in your like um chubber era.
• 25:55
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, my chubier era.
• 25:56
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, like, I'm not gonna.
• 25:58
  SPEAKER_00: I like to refer to it as my pretty girl era, but whatever.
• 26:01
  SPEAKER_01: So you're okay with me posting it.
• 26:02
  SPEAKER_01: I don't care.
• 26:03
  SPEAKER_01: So now, like, the weight Hanan has lost has been transferred on to me.
• 26:07
  SPEAKER_00: It really hasn't.
• 26:08
  SPEAKER_01: That's how it feels.
• 26:09
  SPEAKER_00: It really, really hasn't.
• 26:10
  SPEAKER_00: No, I I think it's fine.
• 26:11
  SPEAKER_00: Honestly, yes.
• 26:12
  SPEAKER_00: That's what I've been doing since January is working on my weight loss.
• 26:15
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not gonna sit here and be like, I work out three times a week.
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_00: No, guys.
• 26:19
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like the rest of America.
• 26:20
  SPEAKER_00: I'm taking the semaglutide shots.
• 26:22
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, hey, if you're cool with it.
• 26:24
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know why people hide that stuff.
• 26:25
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, there's nothing to hide.
• 26:26
  SPEAKER_00: There's really, it's it's like it, and honestly, it's fine.
• 26:29
  SPEAKER_00: I've literally been doing it since January.
• 26:31
  SPEAKER_00: For anybody out there that's thinking about it, please make sure you're doing it through a doctor, because that's what I'm doing.
• 26:35
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and make sure you do blood work.
• 26:37
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but it's great.
• 26:40
  SPEAKER_00: Like, I'm very thankful, alhamdulillah.
• 26:42
  SPEAKER_00: I haven't had any side effects.
• 26:43
  SPEAKER_00: That's good, alhamdulillah.
• 26:44
  SPEAKER_00: And to be honest, when people ask me, I'm very honest about it because I don't think like you look, I'm about to be 45 next month.
• 26:51
  SPEAKER_00: It gets so hard to even shave off a single pound.
• 26:56
  SPEAKER_00: To shave off a single pound.
• 26:57
  SPEAKER_00: So, like, if you're out there and you're it's something that you're struggling with or battling with, do not let these people out there make you think like you are not doing your part because you're not like hitting the gym six days a week.
• 27:07
  SPEAKER_00: And look, is it important to still do that?
• 27:09
  SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
• 27:10
  SPEAKER_00: It's still really important to work out, it's still really important to make sure that you are incorporating healthy food.
• 27:14
  SPEAKER_00: There are things for me that I have changed.
• 27:16
  SPEAKER_00: Like, I was just talking with my sister earlier this week, and I was like, you know what?
• 27:18
  SPEAKER_00: I need to increase my protein intake.
• 27:21
  SPEAKER_00: So now I'm doing a premier protein shake every single morning.
• 27:24
  SPEAKER_02: That's fine.
• 27:24
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm mixing it with a shot of espresso.
• 27:26
  SPEAKER_00: It's it's she told me she was like, it's cafe latte flavored, so you can do it for breakfast.
• 27:30
  SPEAKER_00: So it's halas, you get to a point where you're like, I need to eat better, I need to take care of myself, I need to do all of these things to be healthier.
• 27:36
  SPEAKER_00: So, like, why not?
• 27:37
  SPEAKER_00: And if any any of your friends out there who have lost a significant amount of weight in the last year and told and they're telling you it's diet and exercise, they're lying.
• 27:46
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so in the next couple of weeks, we have some really awesome things coming up for you guys, right?
• 27:50
  SPEAKER_01: Um, wait until I come back.
• 27:52
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, after after Lena gets back.
• 27:54
  SPEAKER_01: I need a couple weeks off.
• 27:55
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, after Lena gets back, yeah, for sure.
• 27:57
  SPEAKER_00: Um, we have the uh the Where's My Happy Bee episode.
• 28:01
  SPEAKER_00: I feel like a lot of people um really um like they resonated with them.
• 28:08
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they like they're just like really vibed with what Susan had to say.
• 28:11
  SPEAKER_00: And I have another friend that's interested in doing it, the same topic, but about like over 40, being over 40 and doing the same thing.
• 28:17
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 28:17

• 35:18
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, come on, Helen.
• 35:19
  SPEAKER_01: Be real.
• 35:19
  SPEAKER_00: It's not because of the lack of my technical capabilities.
• 35:22
  SPEAKER_01: I'm very technically advanced.
• 35:24
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, but it would take a week and a half to get stuff done.
• 35:26
  SPEAKER_01: That would take me like 24 hours.
• 35:28
  SPEAKER_00: I just, you know what it is?
• 35:28
  SPEAKER_00: It's because I just go out at night and Lena doesn't.

  SPEAKER_01: Brahtik.

  SPEAKER_01: Because we tried outsourcing the editing once every time.
• 35:55
  SPEAKER_01: No, it didn't work out.
• 35:56
  SPEAKER_01: It's just it was too much of a hassle.
• 35:58
  SPEAKER_00: It's very hard when you don't know people and the people don't know you.
• 36:02
  SPEAKER_01: It's just take no no, it's not even that.
• 36:04
  SPEAKER_01: Like our stuff is simple, straightforward.
• 36:06
  SPEAKER_01: It doesn't take a lot of like cut, whatever, do a little dissolve here and there, and that's it.
• 36:11
  SPEAKER_01: It's not a big deal.
• 36:12
  SPEAKER_01: But it just takes time to upload anyway, whatever.

• 36:32
  SPEAKER_00: They were delicious and nutritious and amazing and homemade.

• 36:40
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, great.
• 36:40
  SPEAKER_00: So I told Lena, I'm like, oh, you gotta try it.

  SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
• 36:49
  SPEAKER_00: I must say, it was really good.
• 36:50
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it was really not that bad.
• 36:52
  SPEAKER_00: I was sometimes I told her, I'm like, I get it.
• 36:54
  SPEAKER_00: I get the fear of like not being able to eat meat outside.
• 36:57
  SPEAKER_00: I get it.
• 36:58
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but I don't eat meat at home.
• 36:59
  SPEAKER_01: I make it for I make it for my husband and my kids, but I don't.
• 37:02
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just not, I'm not into it.
• 37:03
  SPEAKER_01: Like I'm a I'm a chicken and it has to be chicken breast too.
• 37:07
  SPEAKER_01: Like, don't tell me like chicken thigh or chicken leg.
• 37:10
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 37:10
  SPEAKER_00: That's like the driest part of the chicken cow.
• 37:12
  SPEAKER_01: I'm okay with that.
• 37:12
  SPEAKER_00: I can't not.
• 37:13
  SPEAKER_01: And like once in a blue moon, once in a blue moon, I might have a burger.
• 37:17
  SPEAKER_00: Which is like the worst part of the cow, but sure.
• 37:20
  SPEAKER_01: If it's grass fed.
• 37:22
  SPEAKER_00: If it's ground beef.
• 37:23
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, ground beef, but it's grass fed and it's like, you know, good stuff.
• 37:26
  SPEAKER_00: Are you grounding the beef?
• 37:27
  SPEAKER_00: Grinding, like, are you picking the select the cut of meat and grinding the beef yourself?
• 37:32
  SPEAKER_00: No, it's it comes in like the organic shit that you buy.
• 37:36
  SPEAKER_00: I don't like ground.
• 37:37
  SPEAKER_00: That's like the you don't have you don't eat burgers now.
• 37:40
  SPEAKER_00: No, I do, but I'm saying ground beef is something I'm very particular about.
• 37:45
  SPEAKER_00: Because I feel like they can just stick anything in there and grind it together.
• 37:49
  SPEAKER_00: It is so true.
• 37:49
  SPEAKER_00: It depends where you go, though.
• 37:50
  SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
• 37:51
  SPEAKER_00: It depends where you get your meat.
• 37:52
  SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
• 37:52
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 37:53
  SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
• 37:53
  SPEAKER_00: But if you go to the butcher, you pick your meat and they grind it together.
• 37:57
  SPEAKER_01: And you can also mix it.
• 37:58
  SPEAKER_01: Because I remember my mom used to always mix lamb with it as well.
• 38:01
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 38:01
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, just a little lamb.
• 38:02
  SPEAKER_00: That's my favorite for delicious kofta.
• 38:04
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, whatever.
• 38:05
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I make maybe a steak and cheese.
• 38:07
  SPEAKER_01: Make maybe a steak and cheese.
• 38:08
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I that's not my favorite.
• 38:10
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe.
• 38:11
  SPEAKER_01: But it depends where you get it to again.
• 38:13
  SPEAKER_00: I I no in general, it's not my favorite.
• 38:15
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, no, I like steak and cheese.
• 38:16
  SPEAKER_01: But that's like every once in a blue moon.
• 38:18
  SPEAKER_01: I like only cheese.
• 38:19
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not into like red meat.
• 38:20
  SPEAKER_00: I would rather have a cheese sandwich, honestly, above everything.
• 38:23
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I can have a like Lebanon Zatar sandwich with bandura and khyar.
• 38:28
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, that's me.
• 38:29
  SPEAKER_00: I like olives.
• 38:30
  SPEAKER_00: I I I suffer from something called milia, which is like those white heads that are under the first layer of your skin because of how much cheese I eat.
• 38:36
  SPEAKER_01: Is that what how it happens?
• 38:39
  SPEAKER_00: Dairy is like a huge contributor to milia.
• 38:40
  SPEAKER_00: But please, if you're a dermatologist, correct me, but that's what my aesthetician says.
• 38:44
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 38:44
  SPEAKER_01: I won't have that problem.
• 38:45
  SPEAKER_01: I just had a bunch extracted yesterday.
• 38:47
  SPEAKER_01: I started eating yogurt like seven or eight years ago.

  SPEAKER_00: I love yogurt.
