This week on Freshly Grounded, we've got a man who doesn't just bring the energy, he is energy.

The type of guest who walks in in the room and the room feels louder, warmer and hungrier.

You've seen him lying up your Instagram feed from halal foods to hidden gems.

He's tasted it all and made you wish you were at the table with him, but he's more than just the food.

He shares his travels, his home life, his wins and struggles all through the lens of a proud Muslim living in UK with unmistakable love for his Algerian roots. He's raw, he's real, he's full of life and full of flavour. This is dose of Idris! What, what entrance. Salama aalama aalekun, bro. How you doing?-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a.

I'm loving the fit, man.

Thank you. I bought this in Qatar.

But I'm really starting to like, like, it's like bowling shirt, isn't it?

Literally more relaxed stuff.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

We're in the bina-normal tracts.

We're trying to raise the etiquette. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you so much for the kind of welcome. No, no way. My first ever podcast, I don't even know what I'm doing.

No way.

Yeah, never, never.

Subhallah, we've got an exclusive.

Yeah, you've got the, what's it called? The sneak peek. Yeah. So how come you've avoided podcasts until now? I'm sure you must have had a lot of interest. Yeah, no, definitely. They're just not for me.

I feel like a lot of podcasts, they don't...

They're not really to who I am as a person, so I wouldn't really go on them. But I feel like, freshly grounded. I've been watching this for a minute. I've always, I've always, and I like that you lot are very, you know what I'm saying, respectful Muslims and, what'sha'u'll do you got doing really well. Congratulations on 100 Ks. Thank you, bro. Thank you, man. Congrats. Yeah, but, you man congr yes yeah but bro do you know what likewise I think like when we I've seen your content for a long time man I'm like and the first of all the growth has been incredible but really I think what it all comes down to is when you watch you on on camera you just see someone who's so authentic, like, it's just a true version of himself.

You're not putting anything on. It's not fake. It's not an act. It's not how, what should I create to get the best views? It's, this is me. And I think, like, it seeps through the lens so much that you just got such a, you know, loving energy, man. You just want to, like, follow and wish the best for you.

I appreciate it.

Yeah man, that's like,

it's incredible to see the growth and stuff,
