Summary

In today’s episode of Slo Mo, I sit down with the inimitable Bassem Youssef, a man whose wit and wisdom have challenged and changed the contours of political satire in the Middle East.

0:00.0	I am so glad you could join us. I'm your host Mo Gaudet. This podcast is nothing more than a conversation between two good friends sharing inspiring life stories and perhaps
0:16.3	some nuggets of wisdom along the way.
0:20.2	This is your invitation to slow down with us.
0:25.7	Welcome to Slo-Mob. Today's episode is a slightly different episode than the typical slomo. It is not the most
0:40.4	optimistic and at the same time it might turn a little bit political.
0:45.4	It is however an episode that contains quite a bit of what I believe is the truth of our present

0:55.0	Please remember that it is not the events of your life that stress you.

1:37.3	tour it's available in the show notes so please go ahead and take a look at that.
1:46.0	My guest today is Bessim Yuss. Slo is never a political show, but I don't think Bessim covers a political topic.
1:52.0	Bessim has been for fellow Middle Eastern's, a beacon of hope back in 2011 when he started
2:00.1	his show on YouTube became a mega TV star during the Arab Spring.
2:05.6	The best him had a show called Al-Bernamig.
2:07.8	The first satire in the Middle East and probably the last,
2:11.2	I would say, where we for the first time could see someone on
2:15.9	TV openly discussing his views openly discussing what he believes with humor I
2:22.2	mean humor is a big part of what we do in the Middle East.
