HAPPY THURSDAY COUSINS!!!!!!! We’re back with another brand new episode! This week, we’re celebrating Amir’s birthday, talking about the joys of getting older and what happens when your metabolism decides to quit on you 😂. We also get into some wild tech conversations — is your TV spying on you, have hackers officially lost their way, and can we PLEASE leave the iPhone in 2026?? And of course, we couldn’t have an episode without getting into some Toronto and Canadian current events. We talk about bike lanes, whether transit is actually more reliable than driving, and the ongoing conversations around Islam, and Quebec’s latest moves. There’s definitely a lot to unpack this week 👀. To finish things off, we dive into an AITA about avoiding a friend — because sometimes you just need to protect your peace lol. So grab a snack/drink, start your chores, or go for a very long drive and hang out with your cousins! We hope you enjoy the episode, and as always, thank you for all the love, comments, DMs, and support. Don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss more episodes and vlogs!

HAPPY THURSDAY COUSINS!!!!!!!!Belated Eid Mubarak to you all! May Allah accept our good deeds during the holy month of Ramadan and allow us all to see another one next year - Aameen!This week we gave a recap of our Eid festivities - shoutout to our very own Sara for holding it down! Amir is on the hunt for some Halal bone broth...and no, he does not want to make it at home lol, anyone know where to find one? After we recapped our Eid weekend, we talked about the upcoming HPN weekend event, including the gala night with several esteemed panelists and guests, and of course the MIXER! Amir and Sara discussed what the bare minimum for both men and women are, especially if you are looking for a potential spouse and shared some tips on how to approach someone during these types of events because we all know it can get a little awkward.And lastly...we don&#39;t want to limit networking/mixer opportunities to just our Hararis so if you&#39;d be interested in a Cousin Connection Mixer...drop a comment/DM and let us know! We might be brewing something in the near future!You know what to do...grab your snacks, turn us all the way up while you clean, chill, or drive, and hang out with us like always.

HAPPY THURSDAY COUSINS!!!Eid Mubarak to our wonderful cousins!! In this week&#39;s episode, Amir has been sleep-deprived because his cats have decided he doesn’t deserve rest, Sara spiraled into conspiracy territory again...curious to know if you guys have been keeping up with any of the ones we mentioned? We casually touch on global politics (as always lol), and somehow end up having one of our realest conversations about Ramadan, family, and what life might look like with kids.Also… we might be hiring an AI assistant?? Not fully sure what’s going on there either.You know what to do...grab your snacks, turn us all the way up while you clean, chill, or drive, and hang out with us like always.

HAPPY THURSDAY COUSINS!!!We&#39;ve just completed 1 week of Ramadan alhamdulillah! We&#39;d love to hear how the first week has gone for all of you...let us know in the comments section below! This week, we talked about feeling unmotivated during Ramadan and how to get out of that &#39;funk&#39; and maximize your time while you still can - can any of you relate? Next, we spoke about the Ramadan content that usually pops up this time of year and whether we think the big social media sites have started to subtly suppress it and distract us with other things like MONKEYS...speaking of, I know yall have heard about poor little Punch in the Japanese zoo that has stole the heart of millions around the world lol. Suhoorfest is back and as usual, people are still denouncing it, however this year we have a new perspective from a newer Muslim who shared that she was looking forward to this festival because it gave her an opportunity to be around other Muslims and have easy access to Halal food...maybe we should be a little less judgey and a liiiittle more inviting of our newer Muslim brothers and sisters, just a suggestion!Lastly...we&#39;re doing a 10K in a few months...wish us luck lol, we&#39;re definitely going to need it! You know what to do...grab your snacks, turn us all the way up while you clean, chill, or drive, and hang out with us like always.
