Happy Thursday, Cousins!!! 💛 We’re back with a brand new episode and a lot to talk about! This week, we recap our latest adventures including filming with the guys over at Coffee Break Podcast (make sure to check out their channel when our episode drops 👀). We also went to see Once Upon a Time in Makkah, a stunning theatrical take on the Seerah of the Prophet ﷺ and of course, we had some thoughts. You asked, so we had to dive into the Vela controversy...we're breaking down what happened, why it matters, and why being informed and respectful shouldn't be optional in 2025. We also touched on the viral “Rapture” panic that had people selling their stuff...only for it to be a false alarm. 😬 Plus: Palestine finally being recognized as a state by more countries - could this shift the global political landscape? Oracle buying TikTok: What does this mean for the app's future, censorship, and the algorithm? So grab your snacks, turn us all the way up while you clean, chill, or drive, and hang out with us like always. We appreciate every single one of you cousins – your comments, your DMs, your support.
