وضيفي النهاردة برضه، مميز جدًا، مش بس عشان يوسف أخويا، ولا عشان سنه ١٤ سنة
يوسف بيمثل بالنسبالي حلقة الوصل مع جيل الGen Z زي ما بيقولوا… جيل محيّرني بشكل بيفكرني بكل الانتقادات اللي الاجيال اللي قبلنا كانوا بيقولوها على ال millennials
يوسف شبهي ف حاجات، منها مثلا انه بيحب يتكلم كتير، بيحب يتعرف على الناس، بيحب يـعمل محتوى مختلف سواء على تيكتوك أو غيره.
والنهاردة قررت استغّل فضولي واحاول اعرف اكتر عن يوسف
Today is a new and special episode, in which I attempted recording an episode in Arabic at a café in Cairo!
And my guest, too, is very special, not only because it's Youssef, my brother, nor because he is 14 years old.
Youssef represents the link with the Gen Z generation, as they say... A generation that baffles me in a way that reminds me of all the criticisms that generations before us used to say about the millennials.
Youssef is like me in some stuff, for example, he likes to talk a lot, he likes to get to know people, he likes to make different content, whether on Tiktok or YouTube.
Today I decided to take advantage of my curiosity and try to learn more about Youssef!
