For Hey man, why are you all welcome to the honey do thank you. Thank you. I'm glad to be here. Of course, thanks for having me. Before we get into what we are going to talk about today, please.

Plug promote all of it. All that. All that. The biggest thing is the special that I just put out on my YouTube channel called Hat Trick. I filmed it at the comedy store. So I do all three rooms. I did it myself.

Just in the era of you know comedians taking it the ownership back and just sort of not waiting for Hollywood to give you permission to do the thing you know you can do.

So I directed it. I self financed it and it came out just really the way I'm so proud of it. And I just want to catch it. So it's called Hat Trick. It's at youtube.com slash for he man or.

Yeah, then socials and all that stuff but Hat Trick is the big one. That's all I care about. All right. Well, I you know I ask everyone to send me what they want to talk about before and yours already struck a core of me because it was about your grandma.

So before we talk about her, I mean what we're going to talk about tell me a little bit about you which you're originally from Seattle. Yeah, tell me a little bit about your family background and what sort of role she played in that.

So yeah, from Seattle, my parents are from Afghanistan. Mom and dad mom and dad from Afghanistan. And then you know they came over here. I was born in Seattle.

And my grandma lived in Seattle as well. And it was tough because like she was a fixture of my life and everything but there is this language barrier.

So it's almost like you're missing an entirely like an entire facet of communication and you choose from Afghanistan. Yeah, Afghanistan and she are her English.

It got so like it got good to a point, you know, but at a certain age is kind of hard to pick it up. So that was just something that always tore at me too because me and my brother never really learned the language either.

Who's mom is this your dad or my mom's mom's mom.

Because like other kids are age and stuff and like you know our cousins and stuff they speak far see a lot better than me and my brother.

And I was kind of envious. I wish that we were able to speak it as well too because then I would be able to have an even deeper relationship with my grandma other than like pleasantries.
