Here Is What the Taliban Are Planning for Afghanistan ft. PocoLoco

Here Is What the Taliban Are Planning for Afghanistan ft. PocoLoco This episode was recorded in 2025. Some political developments, policies, travel conditions, and personal circumstances discussed may have changed since filming. In this episode, the AwJiz Boys sit down with Yosaf, better known as PocoLoco, an Afghan American entrepreneur, cultural guide, and founder of Raza Afghanistan. Raised in San Jose, California, Yosaf grew up balancing life in the United States with deep connections to Afghanistan. After returning to the country and experiencing it beyond the headlines, he launched a tourism company designed to help travelers explore Afghanistan’s history, landscapes, communities, and culture. While Yosaf challenges some common perceptions of Afghanistan, the episode also addresses serious concerns surrounding women’s rights, girls’ education, restrictions on public life, and the responsibility of Afghan creators to discuss the country honestly. ***** Follow Our Guest: ▶Follow Yosaf: https://www.instagram.com/iampocoloco [https://www.instagram.com/iampocoloco] ▶Explore Raza Afghanistan: https://razaafghanistan.com/ [https://razaafghanistan.com/] ▶ Kane LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/kanedabir/⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/kanedabir/%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0] ▶ AwJiz Boys LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/awjizboys⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.linkedin.com/company/awjizboys%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0] If you rock with the AwJiz Boys, this is how you support and get more.

Milad Faqiri on AI Music, Touring with Mozhdah Jamalzadah, Ahmad Zahir's Sampling and Indians in Vancouver

Milad Faqiri is an Afghan-Canadian musician, keyboard player, producer, and car salesman in the Lower Mainland known online as Buy From Milad and Bad Milad, two versions of the same guy who somehow both go viral. This episode goes deep on Afghan music and the state of the scene. We get into how Milad learned to play by ear, the reality of producing for major Afghan artists with no royalties to show for it, why Afghan weddings are basically the only venue where people experience live Afghan music, and why the scene keeps recycling the same covers instead of building something original. Then AI comes up and things get interesting. Milad's parents are already obsessed with AI-generated Afghan music on YouTube and have no idea. We also get into why live performance is about to matter more, why AI still can't do comedy, and why comedy might be the real Turing test. Plus: the chaos of Afghan boat parties, the parking lot drunk guys at every wedding, assimilation and diaspora dynamics, doing business with Afghans, and what Milad actually thinks of the Vancouver Afghan community. Milad is one of those rare people who is exactly the same in person as he is online. That's either a compliment or a warning, depending on which Milad shows up. ⚠️ Viewer discretion: this episode includes adult humor, discussion of the Afghan music industry, AI and music, Taliban restrictions on music, royalty disputes, and some very honest takes on the Afghan diaspora community.

Tamanna Roashan (@DressYourFace) on Her 3M Followers, the Afghan Wedding Scam, and Almost Working at NASA | AwJiz Boys

Tamanna Roashan, known online as @DressYourFace to her 3M Instagram followers, joins Kane and Dauood for almost two hours of unfiltered conversation. Tamanna is the founder of DYF Beauty, creator of the bestselling Tamanna Palette with Anastasia Beverly Hills, and the first independent educator to build a 10 year global beauty masterclass tour. This is the longest, most personal interview she's done with an Afghan platform. We cover her DYF Beauty brand build (Italian color cosmetics lab), the truth about "Made in Italy" labels on luxury products, and the moment her Indian mom and Afghan dad pulled her out of an astronomy degree (she wanted to work for NASA) and pushed her into cosmetology school instead. Then the stories get real. The Abu Dhabi week long wedding she did for Roshni Roshan with 10 themed looks across 10 events. Working with Christina Milian. Why she retired from touring after a decade. And THE story: the Afghan bride who scammed her on her wedding day, took the trial, took the lashes, and had her fiance pick up the phone the morning of the wedding to say she was never booked. She also opens up about growing up half Hindu, half Muslim in a mixed faith household where the foyer had idols and the living room had Qurans, the Afghan cousins who moved in and changed her entire identity, marrying into an Afghan family, and her 5 year old son becoming the most religious person in the house. And her closing message to the next generation of Afghan women is the kind of thing you save and send to a friend: stop fighting for the one piece of pie at the table. Make more pies.
