Hot Pocketukraine on the brainWe are not experts in this field, and we've no problem admitting that, but we're still better read than most of you so suck it.Our focus is not "What's happening?" but "How did we get here?". We talk about the dark history of Ukrainian militant groups, NATO, and the 2014 Maidan protests. Our focus is rounding out the story with context that's been suspiciously left out of all the social media craze. I beg of you: No more colorful infographs.

Hot Pocketno way homie: a spiderman reviewFAIR WARNING: This episode's spoiler free, but after about the 12 minute mark, we go into everything. Spiderman: No Way Home released last week, and we got tickets at the very last minute to fulfill our weekly podcast quota. First ever movie review episode, whoop.Shehr is a hardcore Marvel fan (not fanboy, he insists). Saad is most certainly not. So, uh, you can probably guess where we stand.

Hire Shehr and Saad, LLC if you would like industry-best advice in faking a hate crime.It's a masterclass in being a dummy, but it does give us something to talk about: How do we project existing problems and attitudes onto hot-button issues?

We lay out the basic facts of the night in question as well as the problems with the court room's political bias and framing. The victims of this case weren't people of color, but is it still an act of white supremacy? If so, how do we actually define white. We do have an actual answer.Then we have a heated discussion on the contradiction between supporting #BLM but also...2021-11-2153 min

Hot Pocketfast & furious fashionSome dimes spend a dime to wear what other dimes make for a dime. It's a deep dive into the horrible world of fast fashion. Workers are being exploited, the world is burning, and all our data is sold to the highest bidder. It's all rainbows and sunshine.Zara's business model gives us an insight into how retail data and surveillance infrastructures keep the ship afloat. Shein's labor and supply chain control shows how the fast fashion industry gets around problems with monopolization. Put the two together, because they all do this nonsense.2021-10-2048 min

Hot Pocketyou've met gala, but have you met us?We've returned from our break in New York, only to come to a horrible realization: We never really introduced ourselves.Your humble co-hosts are both some flavor of Pakistani-Muslim-American. How do our backgrounds affect us as people and as content creators? And that leads us to examine the relationship between culture and religion in general. It's common for us to attribute good morals to a religious upbringing but maybe faith isn't the only reason we embrace certain values. Finally, we talk about the goals of this podcast. Political comedy is arguably overdone, but we're specifically...2021-09-2242 min

Hot Pocketr/AmITheA**hole for not liking marvel?Shehr's real excited for the new Spiderman. But Saad will take a slow week as an excuse to bash on Marvel.As a market force? Leaves no room for good films. The politics? Man what Wakanda propaganda is this? And the dialogue? Well, it sucks, but I've probably hit 30 grammar mistakes in this paragraph alone.In just 13 years they put out 24 movies, and I'm not even getting into the TV shows.

Hot Pocketroad to afghanistanWhere to begin? We trace Afghanistan's history from the Soviet era, to the Islamic Emirate and most importantly, the American invasion. If we're to make sense of what happened on August 15t, 2021, we need to to follow the relationship between Afghanistan and Pakistan, and understand the Taliban as a political force.From there we tackle the question's everyone's asking: What's America's role now? Can the people who brought a country to ruin also save it? Can imperialism ever be justified? It's a heavy, thorough, but informative episode, giving more to think about than canned talking points.2021-08-1848 min
Hot Pocketsaad vs shehrSaad's back just in time for the hallmark 10th episode. Annnnnnnd we're arguing about something we saw in a comic book store: Where does art end, and where does civility begin? The conversation focuses on depiction of religious figures, but it broadens out as the boys take opposing views. Shehr's personal belief is that some things are off-limits: artists should hear and respect the wishes of different groups. Saad makes a broad-based appeal: the cost of free expression is allowing for things that are unsavory.Podcasting takes work, communication and patience. Marriages are easy, those...2021-08-1155 minHot Pocketeating the cat?Sher has a guest host who ate questionable things in Vietnam.

Calling this segment "Dirty Laundry": we make fun of people who write to advice columns. Best way to get over someone? Get on top of someone else and kick them while they're down.
