Based Camp - Escape From Iran 2026： Daily Life In Iran

00:00:00.000 Hello, I'm excited to be here with you today. Today we have Ace AT, the Iranian guy who is

00:00:06.680 talking on Asmogold's channel, who lived his life in Iran, was in Iran at the start of the war.

00:00:13.800 And apparently he says this is the first interview he's had because with Asmogold it was just

00:00:18.100 reacts. And that makes me so excited because whenever I saw his stuff, it really was fascinating

00:00:24.520 for me to see into this different world. And obviously there's a lot of stuff that we can't

00:00:31.400 talk about, but the stuff we can talk about is still super exciting. And the things that I wanted

00:00:36.140 to focus on in this interview is I wanted to focus on what it was actually like before the war, even

00:00:42.740 just living in a country that is at the place that Iran is at right now in terms of water outages,

00:00:51.040 electricity outages uh a thousand three hundred fold inflation you said uh since the three

00:00:58.320 thousand three thousand since the revolution how do you how do you relate to money how do you relate

00:01:03.560 to savings how do you relate to perishable items when you can use electricity at any time how do

00:01:07.960 you all of this is very interesting but i also want to focus on media like what media did you

00:01:13.320 grow up consuming games did you grow up playing how did you relate to that to create a picture

00:01:20.320 of for a lot of people i think like a normal human living in iran going into all of this because

00:01:28.220 iran just to pontificate a little bit iran is a very interesting country for americans to think

00:01:35.080 about because most americans know persian families or persian like people who have lived in america

00:01:42.060 for multiple generations and so there isn't like a specific uh an ethnic animosity that you would

00:01:49.540 expected you would see in some wars or ethnic foreignness and so the idea of like there's real

00:01:54.480 people in iran actually doing stuff and protesting and all of that that's something that i think is

00:02:00.440 really cool to to see so first what we were talking about before this that i was shocked

00:02:05.760 about we were talking about sinkholes because i've never just like sinkholes are like a common

00:02:10.780 problem in like the capital and you can just like disappear into a sinkhole and like people die

00:02:15.140 I forgot what it was, but like 20 people a year, I think it was. But you said actually like a big

00:02:20.900 chunk of the capital is over a sinkhole and could fall. Can you talk about that?

00:02:25.360 Yeah, sure. So basically, the earlier time before the revolution, the capital was announced to be

00:02:32.340 inside of Tehran. So while that happened, a lot of people started like moving towards it.

00:02:39.160 And they were expecting a maximum amount of 15 to 20 million people inside of the capital.

00:02:45.140 But they said if it expands too much, it might decrease the stability of the sinkholes because the entire capital is surrounded by mountains.

00:02:57.460 So the only way you can get out of the capital is by three or four roads that leads out of the capital.

00:03:04.860 Oh, wow. Okay.

00:03:06.380 okay that's why it's basically oh my god i can't talk strategically oh my god okay so

00:03:14.600 back in the day it was very difficult to attack that one place that makes sense yes a built-in

00:03:20.340 fortress yes but back then they didn't really know about sinkholes and stuff it just happened

00:03:26.360 so now the average i think estimate of the amount of people inside there is 40 million which is like

00:03:34.680 two times more than it's supposed to be and it's shrinking a lot like the like the ground is going

00:03:42.140 in so so hold on i want to provide a little context here the reason why sinkholes have

00:03:47.320 become such a problem in the capital and the reason the ground is shrinking is because there

00:03:51.500 was a large reservoir under the capital of water but because they are dealing with a massive water

00:03:57.240 shortage they drained the reservoir significantly so now there's a giant hole under the capital are

00:04:04.020 Are there plans to, like, insert liquid into the...

00:04:08.600 Are there plans to do anything?

00:04:10.040 No, I don't think there's plans to do anything.

00:04:11.760 So you said, like, 40% could just collapse one day?

00:04:15.860 Pretty much.

00:04:16.760 If something like that happens, more than...

00:04:19.380 I pretty much estimate 20 million people will get badly hurt to death, even.

00:04:25.080 The sinkhole is pretty terrible.

00:04:27.140 The main reason is because the water shortages that kept happening inside of the country.

00:04:31.720 and we we had drought for like two three years it was it was bad so um as if you looked at the map

00:04:39.780 while the like uh clouds tried to come inside the country they instantly dissipated from turkey or

00:04:45.840 from anywhere tried to come inside iran instantly vanished so we nobody knew why it was just

00:04:51.320 happening and because of that we had a massive drought all of the lakes just completely went

00:04:56.880 dried uh we had a very massive lake on top uh left of the country and that is almost completely

00:05:03.680 depleted this giant lake that's just gone i mean part of it was due to the overbuilding of dams

00:05:09.340 during the revolutionary period yeah um and they're trying to rebuild the capital uh in the

00:05:15.260 southern east section right but i think that's mostly a pipe dream do you i mean is that gonna

00:05:19.620 happen or maybe i have no clue what exactly the government is planning to do because it's very

00:05:26.720 i'm sorry but it's very disorganized i can't lie they just do whatever it's like necessary for that

00:05:33.380 one specific thing but don't care about whatever repercussions that happen afterwards

00:05:38.540 oh my god okay so that's you could say that pretty much about any government now you want

00:05:43.980 me to give you an example yes basically there was a river right there was a river that was

00:05:50.720 artificially made uh near the capital uh and what happened was it started smelling very bad

00:05:59.240 and people wanted to fix it and the government said well that's gonna cost too much we're not

00:06:06.620 gonna fix it so because of that they use the water that was going to that artificial lake

00:06:12.380 to the stadium of football because of the because they didn't fix that now the stadium was smelling

00:06:19.680 very bad and now they said now you have to fix the stadium and the lake and they said okay we're

00:06:25.920 not going to do that it's too expensive so they connected another lake to both of them to try to

00:06:31.080 fix it instead that lake got corrupted as well so it's been very bad so yeah oh my gosh wait how

00:06:40.140 did they come hold on i need to understand the logistics how did they and why did they think it

00:06:44.480 was a good idea to connect the lake to the stadium flush it out because when you're trying to clean

00:06:50.100 stuff out and like keep the grass and everything always healthy and stuff like that they need a lot

00:06:54.920 of water so they were trying to connect it with like that so they can be a little bit more lazy

00:06:59.400 you know but also cost efficient but okay so sort of like drain it like use it for stadium purposes

00:07:04.380 and then that yeah drain the the bad lake okay yeah that yeah that is horrible so i want to know

00:07:12.340 more about daily life in terms of how you... And keep in mind, some things may feel normal to you

00:07:19.040 that would be... They're going to be the most interesting things to other people in terms of

00:07:24.300 how they're different. So I want to focus on what it's like when you have the regular water shortages

00:07:29.840 or water is being cut off regularly or electricity is being cut off regularly. How does this change

00:07:35.100 how you relate to things like what's in your refrigerator or how you get food or how you think

00:07:41.560 about uh you know showering or anything like that so basically our government uh sometimes

00:07:48.960 thankfully announces that they're going to be doing that through a sms or from the application

00:07:54.440 for example for electricity it's called a bad man and with that it shows you that a from this

00:08:00.800 specific time to this specific time we're going to you're going to have the power outage so you

00:08:04.720 can like pretty much decide what you're going to do so the power outages inside of the country

00:08:08.540 whenever it's whenever it's a hot season it's from two hours to four hours long but usually

00:08:15.060 when it's not a hot season they just randomly cut it without announcing anything oh it usually lasts

00:08:21.580 like two to three hours in terms of water water goes out with electricity because our country

00:08:28.680 doesn't have like a system where no matter even if the water yeah water on top of buildings pumps 0.75

00:08:35.040 yeah they need to have like an electric pump to push the water up the apartments and when the

00:08:40.560 electricity goes out the water goes out with it for three to four hours so when they announce it

00:08:45.780 you can pretty much like handle everything but when they don't you just have to like i guess

00:08:52.060 go to a location where there is water or electricity other than that we me and my mom

00:08:58.140 usually go to malls so we can just use the uh air conditions inside of the mall until

00:09:03.700 two to three hours passes and then we can go back home but other than that yeah

00:09:07.920 when we lived in peru they would sometimes do this too like that it would either randomly go

00:09:12.580 out or it would be planned um it could be water and or electricity um but we would just so we

00:09:19.180 would bank water like we would have like large jugs like did did you do the same thing um what

00:09:24.420 were like how did you plan around it in terms of what you bought or like do people sell coolers or

00:09:28.620 like fridge backup systems are there products to like address this regular thing happening

00:09:33.580 no in terms of like purchasing stuff our country is very very limited for example you guys have

00:09:40.900 ebay amazon and stuff like that we have none of those we only have like international for

00:09:46.140 international terms we have nothing that comes from the outside of the country we only have like

00:09:51.220 domestic stuff like digicola which is basically overpriced everything uh due to the price of

00:09:57.020 dollar but in terms of like preparing for things usually people like buy like two or three water

00:10:02.400 bottles uh just for emergency if they have to go to uh the bathroom or anything like that but

00:10:07.540 other than that they don't just wait until the power is back and so what did you eat on any

00:10:13.440 given day like what was your your favorite foods what did you cook was it pre-made was it eaten out

00:10:19.240 like oh boy so when i was younger the variety of foods that i could consume was much more it was

00:10:29.900 like everything i ever wanted because the price of dollar was not that high back then but when it

00:10:36.140 comes to now it's people okay do you guys uh know i don't know how to like explain it in terms of

00:10:44.360 english but you guys you know when you guys buy something expensive you can do a payment plan on

00:10:49.660 it yeah yeah i know pay later yeah i know pay later i know what you're talking about everybody

00:10:53.600 Our country has a payment plan for milk, for meat, for stuff like that, for chicken, meat, oil, or supermarket basic necessities.

00:11:04.860 That's kind of a good deal if the inflation is insane, right?

00:11:07.220 So everyone wants to know.

00:11:08.160 No, no, it's bad.

00:11:11.540 Presumably they take the inflation into account.

00:11:13.940 Oh, no.

00:11:14.860 Yes, they do.

00:11:16.380 It's like, oh, this is perfect.

00:11:18.100 It's a perfect crime.

00:11:19.420 Yeah, so imagine the economic sanctions is so high, and in terms of money, income that someone makes inside of the country is so bad that you have to pay for your food as an EMI, as a payment plan.

00:11:33.440 It's very bad.

00:11:35.080 So, wait, hold on.

00:11:36.080 I'm actually interested.

00:11:37.540 So what specifically are you eating?

00:11:40.300 What are your favorite dishes from childhood?

00:11:42.180 What are the dishes that you actually live on today?

00:11:44.280 so from my childhood uh my grandma used to make a lot of types of different food and snacks for me

00:11:52.260 and buy them and uh i i just kind of kind of got in a habit of eating those alone uh i used to be

00:11:59.740 chicken and rice and in terms of kebab and stuff like that which is typical persian dishes yeah or

00:12:06.720 and stuff like that and um nowadays because everything has gotten so expensive you usually

00:12:13.660 have to go with whatever that you can afford you're probably just like a normal chicken

00:12:18.080 without rice just like plain normal chicken or you can just try to get some snacks from the

00:12:25.260 supermarket it's like a little sandwich you can like get to keep you filled for a little bit but

00:12:31.380 in terms of like what what you eat now it's very limited because so for example if I have to give

00:12:38.640 an estimate of how much food you can consume in a month is around probably 10 to 15 times that you

00:12:47.280 can purchase an actual meal before you run out of money that you generate inside of Iran. Because

00:12:52.400 back then you used to make around $250. Now you're like about a year ago, you used to make $100 a

00:12:59.960 month. And now it's below $40 a month that you can make inside of Iran. Oh, wow. Wow.

00:13:08.640 And so it's moved to plain chicken as the main thing.

00:13:12.820 I mean, it doesn't sound that bad.

00:13:15.260 I do like the chicken kebab vision there with rice.

00:13:19.500 That's not dissimilar from the type of things we eat in our house.

00:13:22.300 So, all right.

00:13:23.880 I mean, yeah.

00:13:24.500 However, I'm going to say this, that people from my country in Iran, the Persian people, love partying.

00:13:32.020 So even if, no matter how bad the situation becomes inside of our country, we always find something fun to do or try to hang out with friends to, like, we're pretty much, as we call it, we are numb to all the negativity that keeps happening in our country.

00:13:48.960 That's so awesome.

00:13:50.080 Actually, yeah, I want to talk about that.

00:13:52.140 Because I didn't know that that, so this is, by the way, if you are unaware of this, this is not an observation that is unique to people within your country.

00:14:00.540 i've mentioned this about every time i mentioned persian people it's true actually my persian

00:14:05.260 friends love to party i have never met a group of people who likes partying at i'm like i don't

00:14:15.160 understand why nightclubs have appeal but somehow like they they exist for persian but i want to

00:14:22.340 know like what partying explain what is partying yeah this is and then you have you'd like actually

00:14:27.220 i should explain this just because we are incapable of having fun so well mainly partying

00:14:32.740 is not allowed uh because you're not allowed to listen to loud music yeah you would like it used

00:14:40.120 to be you couldn't listen to loud music or dance but now you are a little less restrictive like

00:14:44.360 what are all the rules yeah so basically it is restricted and right now they're talking about

00:14:50.860 bringing back the forced hijab in our country they already talked about it in the news um

00:14:57.020 But in terms of like dancing in the public and stuff like that, back then it was very, very strict.

00:15:02.020 After the entire protest thing that happened, the government kind of a little bit lost control and they just let people do whatever they want until everything calmed down.

00:15:12.620 But now it's going back to how it was again.

00:15:16.060 So it lost.

00:15:19.140 It was very good.

00:15:21.440 everything went very well until it's not anymore because you know because the country is based on

00:15:29.560 multiple superpowers so whoever has the most amount of power in terms of the country that

00:15:36.060 person rules everything so that's how the country's built around so um now it's very restrictive in

00:15:43.200 terms of partying meaning you invite everyone you know in your contact list to your home

00:15:49.280 dancing and drinking and unlimited food snacks uh sometimes maybe alcohol i don't know but yeah

00:15:59.320 it's very very like loud very fun yeah what's access to alcohol like is it is it restricted

00:16:07.960 yes it's a muslim country well i i wasn't sure how i mean i've gone to i've been in many muslim

00:16:18.020 countries and the restrictiveness of alcohol i think the punishment is lifetime in prison if you

00:16:22.640 get caught by one are people making moonshine i mean are people making their own alcohol

00:16:28.300 or like yes okay so it's not like in houses that has like big lands to like the the we call it bar

00:16:35.420 and people who have like big lands they usually make their own alcohol and wine and stuff like

00:16:41.060 that underground of their own home and they they kind of sell it or just keep it for their own

00:16:45.600 parties so wow that sounds very risky well so yeah i mean it must because being outside of the

00:16:53.320 country now and like actually getting i mean if you do drink like it must be nice to have access

00:16:59.440 to taste your i can't drink i tried uh give it time give it time you're being horrible come on

00:17:08.620 i wish i never drank uh the first place um but the uh that actually brings me to another question

00:17:13.160 if given that alcohol is so restrictive how does that change alcohol versus other drugs are is there

00:17:20.240 like a larger drug culture because of that the only drug you will find that is legal inside of

00:17:25.640 our country is a cigarette wow oh no what i mean oh no so but like illegally like does this so like

00:17:31.980 if you shut down one thing often illegally there's everything up until weed but when it comes to like

00:17:38.800 very illegal ones like the the cocaine and stuff like that that's very rare to find really well

00:17:45.840 but malcolm if you're doing buy now pay later on your milk do you think you have room for cocaine

00:17:49.860 and you're in your budget exactly um come on i don't think anyone can afford to make to make

00:17:57.660 meth you need like basic cleaning supplies or something and i'm not budgeting for that if i

00:18:01.440 can't buy milk so question how does the logistics of even putting a party together work where what

00:18:07.200 are you reaching out to people on is it directly on their phones is it through some social media

00:18:10.820 app is it like what does that look like so basically we have telegram iran iran uses

00:18:17.400 more than i think 70 of people instead of you don't use telegram so by the way it's blocked

00:18:23.440 as well so you need vpn so we use that either that or we use instagram or whatsapp but if you

00:18:32.820 can't communicate with each other if like older generation usually do normal calls and sms but

00:18:38.660 the younger generation use whatsapp or telegram or instagram and can the government see what

00:18:43.660 you're doing on these apps or is it like a special apps that are controlled by meta yes

00:18:49.940 oh right because they narc yes they do narc but not uh so instagram not so safe telegram not

00:18:56.820 telegram yeah yeah yeah okay that's why telegram is like a lot of uh type of uh groups of people

00:19:03.660 who the government does not really like is inside of telegram and they firstly banned telegram as

00:19:09.380 worst as it could what are your okay so like what are your favorite shows growing up or media or

00:19:16.320 games or properties like what's your relationship to media when i was younger we had a device

00:19:24.840 that used to take channels from different countries.

00:19:27.840 We called it Mahavara.

00:19:29.580 And it's like a satellite thing that you install in your home

00:19:32.700 that you can get the channels from different countries.

00:19:36.660 So when I was young,

00:19:39.080 the cartoons and stuff like that I used to watch

00:19:41.700 was from Cartoon Network.

00:19:43.140 Nice.

00:19:44.220 I used to watch Gumball or Regular Show

00:19:47.760 or Benton, Sonic. 0.83

00:19:51.760 Dating yourself there is the generation directly

00:19:54.120 under me um yeah johnny bravo oh my god yeah oh my goodness and yes uh i i wonder like when

00:20:04.880 when you're seeing shows or you're consuming the media environment that takes place in a different

00:20:10.220 country and culture with different things was there anything that particularly struck out to

00:20:15.120 you that was normal in the cartoons that you liked that would have been completely bizarre

00:20:19.800 in your own life growing up so when i was young i used to watch these uh cartoons and stuff like

00:20:26.340 that the first thing that i always came to my mind inside of like regular show or like gumball

00:20:30.820 and stuff like that is how they are living and i was imagining maybe grown-ups actually live like

00:20:37.140 that until i grew up and saw okay the grown-ups most of them outside the country can live like

00:20:44.240 that you mean like how did they have enough money yeah i mean i guess like the regular show you're

00:20:50.160 in iran you're like these two people like aren't are slackers like how do they have enough to live

00:20:54.760 i mean to be fair i got introduced with youtube the thing is i after i got introduced with youtube

00:21:01.380 um because back then we didn't have youtube i didn't even know anything about it because

00:21:06.400 everything was blocked so i got introduced to youtube by when a foreigner come to my country

00:21:11.780 and was like oh yeah i use vpn to access social media i said okay what media do you use and so

00:21:15.980 like youtube i said what the fuck is youtube so and after i started going on youtube i saw

00:21:22.520 my first favorite youtubers like uh pewdiepie markup flyer dan tdm oh so you were young when 0.66

00:21:31.460 you started on youtube very young wow very young and that's how i learned english pretty much

00:21:37.420 by watching them and then watching

00:21:39.340 NBC2, NBC Max,

00:21:41.480 Cartoon Network and stuff like that.

00:21:43.860 Would it have been

00:21:45.500 very rare for somebody to watch

00:21:47.220 YouTube during that time?

00:21:49.140 Yes.

00:21:50.860 Is it still incredibly rare?

00:21:53.680 What do most people watch

00:21:55.340 these days for entertainment?

00:21:57.500 Who aren't you or your family?

00:22:00.020 My family,

00:22:01.380 my mom, basically, I don't know anything

00:22:03.200 about my dad, but my mom usually

00:22:05.180 watches Turkish series

00:22:07.340 um which is very long and apparently it's very very like important to her to watch it well

00:22:14.800 they're like one of the soap opera capitals of the world like that's the yeah that's yeah that's

00:22:19.840 it's big huge dramas and stuff like yes they're big did you did you watch anime oh yeah i i have

00:22:29.020 i watched anime every day my first ever anime was naruto of course everyone's course yes the the

00:22:37.180 do you still watch anime?

00:22:39.520 Is that still in your conception profile?

00:22:41.940 Yes, I'm currently watching Black Clover

00:22:44.100 and One Piece.

00:22:46.220 Oh yeah, I was looking at Black Clover recently.

00:22:48.020 They just had a new season on Black Clover.

00:22:51.260 But yeah.

00:22:52.460 So,

00:22:53.400 and it's watching anime common there.

00:22:56.780 Like, do you have friends you could talk about?

00:22:58.280 To the new gen?

00:23:00.040 Yes, very.

00:23:01.300 Like, I can tell you, like,

00:23:03.160 if I had to give an estimate to the people

00:23:05.200 I know that are around my age

00:23:07.480 and younger, over

00:23:09.160 70% of them know about anime.

00:23:11.560 And they all watch it. Illegally,

00:23:13.700 but they watch it.

00:23:15.360 So, in a 0.70

00:23:17.360 generation or so, like, Iran 1.00

00:23:19.240 is going to be a bunch of otakus, right? 1.00

00:23:21.340 Like, that's a... There already are. 1.00

00:23:23.600 I see people, like, even

00:23:25.080 selling their car just to go to Japan

00:23:27.380 to get, like, signatures from their favorite

00:23:29.500 like, anime offers.

00:23:31.860 Really? Gosh.

00:23:33.480 Yeah. Wow.

00:23:35.200 um that's not that's not awesome that's not financially responsible though you shouldn't

00:23:40.060 do that but they do that we appreciate that they want to that's that's awesome we are yes we

00:23:47.060 appreciate that that exists somewhere i do not i would not advise that as a financial decision

00:23:51.520 yeah um yeah well actually even having a car i think it's it's it's quite hard can you talk

00:23:56.940 about that like the the challenge now okay so back then about probably seven five to seven years ago

00:24:05.060 the first main goal of someone was purchasing no maybe more if yeah 15 years ago pretty much

00:24:11.180 uh getting a house was basically like very common after like 10 years like five years passing that

00:24:20.260 everything became impossible pretty much to my house so everyone started dreaming about cars

00:24:26.060 oh so then cars became impossible so everyone wanted bikes and bikes became impossible so now

00:24:33.300 everyone's getting uber

00:24:34.640 wait so how did um so i remember there was like this huge building project to make all these like

00:24:45.500 buildings in iran um in these like uh areas and then like nobody moved into them do you know what

00:24:52.400 i'm talking about like these big empty government building blocks that were put like outside of

00:24:57.600 cities oh near chitgar yes i know that yeah huge apartment projects yeah so they like tried to make

00:25:06.860 the buildings but then they put them all in places that nobody wanted to live so no one wants to live

00:25:14.240 because it's near a very very strict military base that got struck by uh america and israel

00:25:21.260 multiple times near that area oh wow everyone's straight up being there oh but it would have been

00:25:26.860 great if there were a lot of people there because then it would look really bad for israel the u.s

00:25:30.780 to hit the military base basically is that one it's a human shield yeah pretty much so that one

00:25:39.320 lake uh i was talking about artificial lake that was made it's chitgat it's basically there oh

00:25:46.000 oh wow okay so what are you what do you consume these days is it mostly youtube for me i'm like

00:25:52.560 all youtube and anime now oh since i'm in i'm in india i'm consuming twitch on the side of my

00:25:59.640 monitor the other one is youtube well i still can so talk about india and had you traveled

00:26:09.580 outside of iran before this uh yes but when i was younger my family's wealth is actually pretty

00:26:17.220 much like good but now we're just pretty much in in the midways i guess but um when i was young we

00:26:24.700 went to dubai bulgaria moscow turkey and now i personally travel to india alone which is like

00:26:33.840 insane to me still but um where else i've been to qatar pretty much middle eastern countries

00:26:41.920 because you can't really go to european without a green card or whatever it's called and we don't

00:26:47.340 you can't get that harder yeah so tell me what's it like living so you've been living in india for

00:26:52.600 a while now like what is what has been the experience india is very loud very very loud

00:27:01.980 and in terms of like living here everything is as long as you mind your own business nobody is

00:27:10.640 like bothering you and i like that so much but in terms of like peacefulness and stuff like that

00:27:16.780 i'm good and the only issue is the bad weather because i don't know why it's such a bad weather

00:27:24.960 india is so green it has so much trees and everything but the weather is just absurd and

00:27:32.680 the valley is coming inside of india explain what you mean by that is it like monsoon season right

00:27:38.160 now what is what is the season of india right now what makes the weather bad

00:27:42.800 so it's going towards winter which is going to be the valley very soon and they celebrate it

00:27:50.040 because it's apparently about one of their gods um so they're going to be celebrating it and when

00:27:56.760 they do the fireworks yeah homecoming homecoming of one of their gods and when they celebrate it

00:28:01.320 they do so much firework that's the festival of lights right yeah yeah so what is it for the 0.98

00:28:08.800 air condition aqi oh yeah the air quality aqi goes up to like max it just turns black if you 0.85

00:28:18.580 try to look at the charts inside of our country goes very very high wow and i understood iran

00:28:25.740 had horrible pollution problems at least in tehran and stuff like that so if you're complaining

00:28:29.700 yes it's gotta be bad as bad as india in terms of ocean because india gets it's very humid

00:28:37.960 and it gets to a point where the government tells its people please wear a mask and buy

00:28:43.620 air purifier in your home because it's very bad and you can see like sometimes the government

00:28:49.540 trying to help by taking out some trucks that shoots a lot of pressured water in the air

00:28:54.800 to try to get rid of the all the dust and everything like that but yeah it gets very bad here

00:29:00.860 wow okay that's really interesting i malcolm did they do that in peru i feel like they did that in

00:29:06.780 peru have you yeah have you changed i think they did do that in peru have you changed what you're

00:29:12.180 eating now that you've moved like what do you eat these days in india oh yeah i'm i'm eating

00:29:16.300 everything you have no clue i went to i went to chilies and oh i can't tell what i ate

00:29:24.940 yeah yeah and i can't tell what i had in the chilies because uh my country but when i had it

00:29:32.200 oh my god i had like two kilos of it it was like insane i was like american slop yes i know it's

00:29:40.320 i love like indian dishes are actually very fun too very spicy oh yeah we would we would just eat

00:29:49.800 constantly indian food anyway actually anywhere we go is we just eat indian food um unless i

00:29:54.640 insist on enchiladas somewhere that's so i'm so jealous yeah like the one thing i really wish i

00:29:59.620 could get is like even more one of the things that i think that is very interesting about the world

00:30:05.480 today is you being in india there's this concept called the eastern standard tribe uh they came

00:30:12.200 about what book was that from simone oh cory doctor wrote a book called eastern standard

00:30:16.260 tribe he's an author who writes a lot of near future books um and the general thesis of this

00:30:21.300 book that was the most interesting part more interesting than i think the book's narrative

00:30:24.560 was this concept of people not being really socially organized by um your region like where

00:30:32.080 you are but rather by the time zone that you kept and i think this wasn't quite right like i don't

00:30:37.300 think we really go by time zones so much but we do go by online social like subcultures um and that

00:30:43.600 is the most interesting thing that that he kind of predicted was that people aren't going to

00:30:47.440 necessarily associate the very very most with whatever like local area that they grew up in

00:30:52.500 but rather some internet subculture which you kind of see physically or sorry visually manifested in

00:30:58.820 the skybrow cinematic universe like that feels very much like a tribe because you can like see

00:31:04.080 it and it is a bunch of yeah you were included in that right yeah yeah multiple times yeah it's

00:31:09.440 been crazy i always feel like a skybrow video when it comes out it feels a bit like being in

00:31:14.600 a party it was like my community but you don't have to go it's our favorite kind of party

00:31:19.700 we hate parties we hate parties so you're a very non-partying people we can't party

00:31:25.100 but has anyone um one of the things i found particularly interesting is asma gold talking

00:31:34.940 to you and i've noticed that at least in the american political tribes right now uh i haven't

00:31:41.160 seen many or any iranians featured in like the leftist stuff have you have any of them reached

00:31:49.040 out to you or look look to do anything with you i find that very strange actually inside of my

00:31:55.000 discord when i when i first made videos uh there was a lot of people who were saying i'm an agent

00:32:00.940 spy from a different country yeah and then when i opened up my discord a lot of people came in

00:32:09.260 with lots of love but there were a group who like threatened to kill me inside of my messages

00:32:15.080 it was it was wild what was their ideology like what motivated them were they

00:32:21.140 a right-wing like anti-immigrant group or like a left-wing i don't know like who was it or a

00:32:26.400 muslim or what was i don't know i don't really tend to like respond to them but they were just

00:32:32.080 flat out uh threatening me saying something like if we figure out where you live we know what to do 0.98

00:32:38.700 or something like that oh my goodness gracious we we are in the same situation we often piss

00:32:45.140 people off and um we don't know which side we've pissed off we we don't know if we pissed off the

00:32:50.440 gripers or someone we pissed off the far the problem is that we're super doxed so the thing

00:32:56.900 the thing is a lot of people think when someone threatens me it's actually from

00:33:00.780 because they're muslim but the thing is i know a lot of people who are muslim inside of my country

00:33:07.400 but they're very lovely people they just love helping others are very nice but there are some

00:33:14.560 who abuse that fact and just hide behind it yeah well i mean obviously you're gonna get um and i've

00:33:21.740 and i pointed this out on my show before all the muslims i know i like um but i also know that

00:33:26.020 obviously there's a big problem with with some muslim communities um but it doesn't you know uh

00:33:31.960 actually speaking of the muslim one the first episode we did on iran and i want to get your

00:33:35.840 thoughts as somebody who was in it was the we called it the atheist theocracy because there

00:33:40.880 was some studies done on the iranian people showing that uh non-belief was incredibly common

00:33:49.400 in the country um like like really really high rates is this what and some people were like oh

00:33:55.800 the studies must have been done wrong or they were doing the data wrong like what's your do you do

00:34:01.420 you think that's plausible that there actually are like 40 35 like atheist rates so the last

00:34:10.540 website inside of my own country

00:34:12.600 I checked. I will not say it from

00:34:14.580 my side. Don't take it from my side. But

00:34:16.400 from my own country's website that I checked

00:34:18.520 last time, over 70%

00:34:21.040 are atheists.

00:34:22.480 Yeah, I remember a crazy high number. 0.98

00:34:24.780 So it must have been 70%.

00:34:25.600 Yeah, I forgot. That's crazy.

00:34:27.980 Does that sound plausible to you, having lived there?

00:34:31.860 Well,

00:34:33.160 knowing my

00:34:34.600 friends, none of them

00:34:36.780 do believe in God.

00:34:38.960 So it seems plausible.

00:34:40.360 So that's wild to me. It's wild to me. You have a majority atheist theocracy. And I also heard that Zoroastrianism, at least as an identified religion, had become pretty common. Is that something that you've observed, or is it like a –

00:34:59.180 Persia back in the day used to be a Zoroastrian country where they worshipped the flame and Ahura Mazda and it's a very beautiful culture.

00:35:09.240 I can't lie.

00:35:10.060 And it has only three rules.

00:35:11.680 That's it.

00:35:12.840 In the entire religion, there's only three things that you need to follow.

00:35:17.360 Do good things, have good thoughts, and say good things.

00:35:22.720 That's it.

00:35:24.600 Not bad.

00:35:25.280 That's the entire rule of the entire religion.

00:35:27.520 I kind of like it.

00:35:29.180 It also was one of the – I only know this because I was recently doing research on this –

00:35:33.820 was one of the first religions to put prohibitions or restrictions on masturbation, which is where –

00:35:39.620 Was Zoroastrian? 0.96

00:35:40.480 Yeah.

00:35:41.280 Yeah, apparently.

00:35:41.980 I have no idea about that.

00:35:43.500 The devil's in the details. 0.93

00:35:44.680 Is masturbation good or bad? 0.89

00:35:46.120 That's what we have to decide. 0.86

00:35:47.020 It might not be practiced that way anymore.

00:35:48.680 That might be something from like the Middle Ages or something.

00:35:51.240 I don't know.

00:35:51.920 I mean, it's an old religion.

00:35:53.140 It's one of the oldest religions.

00:35:55.160 We should do – I want to do a deep dive on Zoroastrianism.

00:35:58.260 You can do an episode on that. 0.87

00:36:00.660 I mean, I find we mark it as one of the true face.

00:36:03.500 So I think that it would be worth.

00:36:06.260 Okay.

00:36:06.420 We actually have a flame that is inside of our country that has been lit

00:36:11.280 for over 2,500 years and no one's letting it die.

00:36:17.060 Yeah.

00:36:17.560 No, no pressure or anything.

00:36:19.720 So like,

00:36:20.680 I don't want that job.

00:36:24.380 Especially in a political environment like this in, 0.99

00:36:27.820 in the country would do like does the islamic regime how does it treat sort of zoroastrianism 0.54

00:36:33.140 or zoroastrian identified citizens is that illegal or is it how does that work as long as you're i

00:36:39.140 don't think it would matter as long as you're not a resident of iran but if you're for example a

00:36:46.200 catholic or any type of hindu or or whatever you come to the country itself you're completely fine

00:36:53.620 as long as you're not actually living there.

00:36:55.800 I don't think anyone's going to bother you. 0.95

00:36:57.920 But if you change your religion from Iran. 1.00

00:37:01.320 From Islam. 0.99

00:37:02.020 Yeah, then you're an apostate. 0.99

00:37:03.160 Yeah. 0.99

00:37:04.060 Yeah, then you're cooked.

00:37:07.220 That's in...

00:37:08.500 So basically everyone in the...

00:37:10.160 Well, okay, from everything you're describing,

00:37:12.800 everyone in the country is breaking some kind of law

00:37:15.440 because maybe you use a VPN,

00:37:17.680 maybe you have Telegram,

00:37:19.060 maybe you have a party at some point,

00:37:21.100 maybe you don't believe in God.

00:37:22.120 like so you're somewhere the government can kind of get you in trouble um which is kind of it makes

00:37:28.540 me nervous i can tell you like everyone inside of the country even the government itself are

00:37:33.840 doing something illegal because everyone's using vpn and vpn is illegal so oh man yeah vpn's not

00:37:42.440 good making them illegal i mean like it's we we there's this ongoing debate between us and our

00:37:48.680 audience about like certain online content bans and the problem is if you really want to ban online

00:37:54.820 content you have to make vpns illegal and if you want to make vpns illegal you are now making

00:37:59.580 everyone break the law and if you make everyone break the law then anyone could possibly go to

00:38:04.540 jail and then if you live in a country like that as soon as you're inconvenient you go to jail and

00:38:08.840 i really don't like that yeah it's a very bad conflict inside of our country with the government

00:38:15.300 and the internet they whatever happens even if trump sneezes in one of the interview they cut

00:38:22.200 the internet i don't know why they just whatever happens in america they just cut the internet

00:38:26.160 oh because they're afraid so like if anything starts to catch wind as a story and it involves

00:38:31.660 america they they cut the internet over that instantly they don't care what it is they just

00:38:36.980 cut it i honestly wish someone literally there was an interview that happened from trump that

00:38:42.000 It wasn't even related to Iran.

00:38:43.480 And my mom couldn't connect to the internet at all, no matter what she did.

00:38:46.960 Oh, goodness gracious. 0.98

00:38:47.640 I cannot tell you how freaked out my wife gets when we get power outages here or there's no internet. 1.00

00:38:53.580 For her, it's like she's a crack addict and there's no crack that day.

00:38:57.460 It's true.

00:38:58.500 And I'm like, Simone, calm down.

00:39:00.600 This is true.

00:39:01.300 This is true.

00:39:02.000 No, and so we lived in Peru for a while, which is why that's like my frame of reference for like place where electricity goes off occasionally.

00:39:08.400 And, like, when we moved there and we bought our first ever home together there, we were so excited.

00:39:14.620 And then they were like, oh, by the way, just for, like, when the water gets shut off for an entire day or when the electricity goes out, like, make sure you have these things.

00:39:22.880 I lost my mind because I can't.

00:39:25.480 But the worst thing about living in Peru, so the two worst things, and maybe the little spark ideas of things to talk about for you.

00:39:31.440 Number one that I hated was the smell. 0.99

00:39:34.560 The smell and the pollution. 1.00

00:39:36.040 The black boogers.

00:39:37.080 You would often get, like, the sewer pipes would, like, back up into your house.

00:39:43.340 And so it often smelled like sewage.

00:39:46.540 Oh, my God.

00:39:47.380 Did you ever get that? 0.94

00:39:48.780 Or no, that's a Peru thing.

00:39:50.780 So our country, since the very old times, we have the biggest sewer system, where it never gets clogged, ever. 0.80

00:40:01.760 Wow, okay.

00:40:02.740 The entire country has never gotten clogged. 0.99

00:40:04.680 There's one historical place that was made during the Cyrus the Great. 0.72

00:40:10.840 And when a massive flood happens back then, yes. 0.73

00:40:15.260 Yeah.

00:40:15.700 So, you know balcony?

00:40:18.140 You know the normal balcony in apartments?

00:40:20.300 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1.00

00:40:21.180 Iran designed it. 0.99

00:40:23.500 Yeah, I heard that. 1.00

00:40:24.320 Nobody, yeah.

00:40:25.280 Because back then, in the country, it used to get so hot.

00:40:30.000 so they decided to open up a thing for a house where the wind comes in and cools down the house

00:40:36.520 so they decided to make something called there's a few notes on this to understand why they would

00:40:41.320 so first of all in terms of populated living centers they had some of the early really big

00:40:47.620 ones and they would have had early population because you need the balcony if you have a lot

00:40:53.600 of multi-story buildings that is what that is what ends up necessitating it and then you have

00:40:58.900 them in an already hot environment so uh and the the balconies that he's describing were quite

00:41:04.940 stylized i i don't know do they still exist like can you see the old cool stuff i've seen them in

00:41:09.500 like yeah yeah there is yes yes and uh there was this one during the cyrus the great they made a

00:41:16.560 sewage system where you know how the massive amount of like flooding that's been happening

00:41:22.100 over the past few months.

00:41:25.720 That's like the cars are getting dragged by the water.

00:41:28.960 It's been so bad.

00:41:30.280 This one city instead of our country

00:41:32.540 that has that sewage system created 0.93

00:41:34.660 by the Cyrus of the Great Era 0.81

00:41:36.420 is completely making the entire city safe from flooding.

00:41:42.540 Wow.

00:41:43.100 And it has never been filled.

00:41:44.820 Instantly, as soon as a single drop of water goes inside,

00:41:47.660 it instantly gets depleted.

00:41:50.040 Okay, so I'll go over the other thing.

00:41:51.560 because that that did bring up an interesting conversation um yeah the other thing that always

00:41:55.540 really annoyed me when i wait is is this what we're talking about though because this is i

00:41:59.360 yes that's what we're talking about okay yes but it's not in the cities anymore this is like very

00:42:04.360 old so yeah now i was looking for like the original invention okay but like it's sort of a

00:42:08.540 ventilation thing okay that's super cool that's super cool cool cool okay but in in peru they

00:42:14.220 the other thing is you cannot get good cheese in peru it all tastes like plastic oh yeah i don't

00:42:19.760 I don't know if there's any ingredients when you move to India where either you're like, oh, my God, this ingredient, I couldn't get anything like this.

00:42:25.940 Yeah.

00:42:26.700 What are the big food ingredient differences that you're noticing?

00:42:29.680 Like just going to grocery stores and stuff.

00:42:31.400 We're like, this, I can't get it anymore.

00:42:33.000 I miss it so much.

00:42:33.900 Like when I go back to Iran, this is the first thing I'm going to eat.

00:42:36.140 Or like, oh, my gosh, I can actually eat this food now.

00:42:39.380 So basically everything that is in Iran does not exist in India because we don't have any type of international thing other than zaffron.

00:42:48.680 and for some reason in india it's so expensive to buy zaffron but in our country it's so much

00:42:55.620 cheap so if someone lives in like iran and tries to bring like zaffron well technically they will

00:43:02.620 catch you in the airport for bringing so much but if you do manage to somehow bring it in india

00:43:07.200 you can sell it to up to like four to five times the price it's ridiculous well it's crazy expensive

00:43:13.380 in the united states like if if there's regular cooking with saffron in iran like that we would

00:43:18.620 feel like kings we use saffron on everything in europe we use it on rice we use it on tea we use

00:43:23.940 it on chicken we use it on everything everything oh my god that is amazing i think i've used saffron

00:43:31.680 like three times in my entire life as a treat that's so cool oh my god yeah i would be doing

00:43:38.380 if i was you i don't know if you but i i really like cooking and i would just be experimenting

00:43:42.340 was everything I could get access to in India,

00:43:44.500 I'd be like, okay, let's...

00:43:47.800 That's exciting.

00:43:49.540 Yeah, I mean, you got a lot going on.

00:43:50.920 I don't know if you have a lot of time

00:43:52.100 to just mess around in a kitchen.

00:43:54.560 So what are you...

00:43:55.340 No, I don't know.

00:43:57.960 Eventually.

00:43:58.820 I mean, one thing that was really cool was

00:44:00.460 when we lived in Peru, for example,

00:44:01.960 and you might do this in India,

00:44:03.240 Malcolm realized that the fruit there

00:44:04.620 was incredibly inexpensive,

00:44:06.100 and you could just get this incredible stuff.

00:44:08.120 Just for us, relatively nothing.

00:44:10.360 whereas for us the stuff we were used to getting cheaply like good dairy was impossible so he just

00:44:15.160 went and bought like a ton of fruit and just tried all the food when i go to the middle east i always

00:44:18.220 go get tons of dates because i don't know if you can get good dates in iran back then you used to

00:44:24.300 get a lot of like good people from like if you're trying to date a girl no not date oh no no dates

00:44:31.100 the fruits it's a dry fruit there must be another word we have a lot of those

00:44:38.780 to every kind.

00:44:41.820 Oh, really?

00:44:42.160 There's a good writing.

00:44:43.640 There's something we make called Laboshak,

00:44:46.740 and we use a lot of fruits for it.

00:44:50.140 I can probably try to type it for you.

00:44:52.780 You can see it.

00:44:54.060 Describe it.

00:44:54.760 Is it like a smoothie or something?

00:44:56.640 Is it like a blended fruit?

00:44:58.160 Is it like fruit cooked?

00:44:59.680 So basically, you mash a lot of fruit

00:45:03.900 inside of a metal plate, kind of,

00:45:08.460 and you leave it out in the sun oh really oh it's like a turns into a lava shack l-a-v-a-s-h-a-k

00:45:17.180 or um yeah yeah and it turns out sour and very yeah yeah it's definitely really good

00:45:25.260 oh but it comes in like like in in in chunks uh you can get either in chunk or you can get a like

00:45:32.840 a whole plate of it

00:45:33.920 if you want to.

00:45:34.820 Dude.

00:45:35.300 And the best

00:45:36.100 a dish like that

00:45:37.560 is a very standard

00:45:38.300 kid food.

00:45:39.020 Like we have it

00:45:39.640 for our kids.

00:45:40.780 Yeah.

00:45:41.780 It's a little too candy

00:45:42.840 for me to make

00:45:44.560 a major thing

00:45:45.140 as an adult.

00:45:45.460 This is what I'm getting.

00:45:47.100 Yes.

00:45:47.800 Yeah.

00:45:48.400 Okay.

00:45:48.820 Never mind.

00:45:49.460 When I go back to Iran 1.00

00:45:50.280 I'm going to have that. 0.78

00:45:51.300 Okay.

00:45:51.660 So okay.

00:45:52.280 Yeah.

00:45:52.500 There we go.

00:45:53.240 That's okay.

00:45:53.800 That is a

00:45:54.160 you cannot get it

00:45:54.880 as good in India.

00:45:56.460 I've never seen that

00:45:57.240 before in my life.

00:45:58.400 You can't find it

00:45:59.160 at all in India.

00:46:00.360 Okay.

00:46:00.920 Okay.

00:46:01.160 That's fair enough then.

00:46:02.120 Okay.

00:46:02.440 Good.

00:46:02.640 Okay, but speaking of the other kind of dates, have you tried to leverage your newfound fame to get – I don't know if you have a girlfriend.

00:46:08.600 You have a girlfriend.

00:46:09.740 She's even in the Skybrows video.

00:46:11.480 Oh, yeah, you did the Skybrows video.

00:46:12.880 She's right there.

00:46:14.320 So wait, did your girlfriend come with you?

00:46:16.280 Hi. 0.89

00:46:17.640 She is Indian.

00:46:19.220 So we've been in a long-distance relationship for the last five years.

00:46:22.900 Oh, my God.

00:46:23.120 And we met each other every year one time because I couldn't really make that much money.

00:46:28.720 so we used to like meet each other one time every 30 days in india and i have to go all the way back

00:46:35.500 so yeah are you are you staying in her city now i'm with her she's currently in the next room

00:46:42.360 she's right there that's amazing sorry i remember it now from the the asthma cold videos but yeah

00:46:48.680 so the the that is awesome and so i i guess the plan yeah how do you how do you end up in a long

00:46:55.160 distance you probably can't say but like is there a lot of long distance dating in iran because

00:46:59.220 that's that is uh yeah how do you meet like vpns and all that like everything else um so we met on

00:47:05.940 discord on a public uh discord channel where there was like freelancing i'm a video editor

00:47:13.160 she's a fashion designer we kind of met like that that's so cool and uh yeah in terms of long

00:47:19.220 this since relationships inside of iran there is a lot but sadly not for love oh oh to get out

00:47:30.100 to get out yeah i mean practical i mean i i'm the product of one of those like this happened this is

00:47:36.480 an international thing that happens everywhere at all times so absolutely yeah the way with me was

00:47:41.780 i've been in so many toxic relationships inside of my country where i like told myself you know

00:47:47.940 what i'm just never gonna find anyone over here just like let it go so i started talking to

00:47:53.820 everyone inside of discord and somehow i was able to communicate with people inside of different

00:47:59.180 countries much more compared to those i knew inside of my own country but in terms of like

00:48:05.720 the things i experienced compared to the people outside the country they have no clue what i'm

00:48:11.040 talking about or they think i'm trying to outscale them in like bad things happening to them so

00:48:17.420 yeah they were like oh my internet is slow i said okay well at least you have internet

00:48:22.880 okay we're just trying to win an argument no no oh my god i'm so curious now though because like

00:48:28.940 so so what actually is dating like within iran are there dating apps that are specific to the

00:48:35.000 country question are people supposed to meet like no you're not going to meet someone at the mosque

00:48:39.920 that's not going to work that's not great there's no dating uh like sites or applications in sort

00:48:46.300 of Iran is illegal highly illegal and uh if you want to meet someone you just got to meet them

00:48:51.780 outside I guess but other than that if um something like well in terms of religion you're not allowed

00:49:00.300 to even be together unless you're married so that also makes it very tough hold on now I'm actually

00:49:07.480 curious like how does it you said you dated multiple people while you're in Iran how did

00:49:12.520 Were you milling around in a park or something?

00:49:14.900 Were you just going up to random women?

00:49:16.820 Well, we set up a date at some place specific.

00:49:19.880 For example, a mall or a food court or a park or somewhere romantic in the mountains.

00:49:26.980 However, getting caught being together in a car or holding hands or doing something intimate usually gets you in a very bad trouble.

00:49:38.680 So you got to be very careful.

00:49:39.980 unless you both have a ring and you can be like hey we're engaged it's fine oh so so your emergency

00:49:46.080 dating ring you need to have yeah these are the pro tips we are learning as long as they see the

00:49:51.980 ring it's fine however there are some who take it further and try to like actually see if that's

00:49:57.600 real to just call in and try to see if you're actually married with your id and if you're not

00:50:01.960 your cook this is all because you need like you need even a number on your phone labeled mom

00:50:06.840 when you get an answer and be like yes this is my future daughter-in-law this is oh my gosh

00:50:12.640 no the the government actually calls in the building with your id number asking if these

00:50:19.480 people are actually married or not and when they say no you are going to jail oh they're checking

00:50:25.540 for marriage licenses what would you say they call your your building what do you mean you're

00:50:30.460 building what do you mean my building what my building you said they call something to tell

00:50:35.800 so the police has like a building like it's like kind of like rgc's building so they call in asking

00:50:45.060 for information about this specific person with the id number okay so they're checking government

00:50:49.320 records public records office yeah but so then my question would be is an engagement does that go

00:50:54.880 on public records in iran like a like a proposal oh yes wow it doesn't in in america by the way

00:51:02.160 doesn't in most like i didn't need to tell anyone when i proposed to simone pretty much anything

00:51:06.700 you do inside of the country you have to like tell the government wow and so how did your dates get

00:51:12.000 set up did like a friend introduce you or did you see them in public usually see each other on like

00:51:17.460 instagram we talked and be like hey we can meet over here if you want instagram if they're sassy

00:51:23.580 they usually say no of course so well i'm gonna be honest i'm gonna be honest that might be

00:51:31.200 slightly healthier than twitch uh or not what is the discord disc no the one in the u.s uh tinder

00:51:38.340 oh no that's better than all of our dating platforms oh god yeah that is way different

00:51:43.860 than tinder yeah no but uh because at least you're like directly emailing and not emailing

00:51:48.940 them but like sending them a dm and and having some sort of but instagram is still very image

00:51:52.740 heavy so it's still very biased as a platform okay when it comes to images uh the like girls 0.99

00:52:00.420 inside of our country usually 0.92

00:52:02.260 cover up, not

00:52:04.420 in terms of hijab, but in terms

00:52:06.400 of hiding. Women love to 1.00

00:52:08.480 take pictures where their face is 1.00

00:52:09.880 never in the picture.

00:52:12.320 Doing a side pic or

00:52:14.160 half of their face.

00:52:16.480 I don't know. They always do that type of

00:52:18.480 stuff. So you don't know what you're

00:52:19.880 working with.

00:52:24.160 That's

00:52:24.640 actually really interesting.

00:52:26.840 And it explains, for people

00:52:28.500 anywhere iran has a terrible fertility rate the fertility rate in iran is below the u.s right now

00:52:32.380 uh because well now you understand why now i understand why someone oh my goodness that is

00:52:39.360 and the people are families are very afraid of like actual marriage now so they say oh if you

00:52:45.200 get married to this person they decide to divorce you goodbye all of your assets so they do something

00:52:51.780 new called white marriage yeah wait so why they allow divorces are divorces allowed

00:52:59.400 divorces are allowed but in terms of other countries like for example like hindu

00:53:05.260 uh countries divorce is something it's still allowed but it's something huge where like

00:53:11.360 entire families judge you for it but in iran it's very common now so because of that the people of

00:53:17.900 you're undecided on something completely new and original called the white marriage where you don't

00:53:23.560 you live together but you don't like tell the government you live together but then are you

00:53:29.840 gonna are you afraid that of being arrested or something like that this whole well they don't

00:53:33.560 have they don't have security cameras inside your home so they will never know this is just never 0.86

00:53:39.240 go grocery shopping you're getting a car together yeah this is the state of gender relations right

00:53:43.820 now men would rather risk being detained by a by a uh a police a government then then uh trust a

00:53:56.120 woman that's that's where we are right now i love this because that's so like real for like the the

00:54:04.780 right wing online in like the united states of guys being like i don't know that's a that's a

00:54:09.860 pretty good idea yeah checks out yes absolutely what i will say is i think for my generation in

00:54:18.080 the united states at least and maybe this is what it was like in iran uh because we have boomer

00:54:22.540 parents and boomers are like the worst that all of their relationships were like super bad and

00:54:27.500 like i didn't know how awesome marriage was until like i got married to my wife um and uh i began

00:54:34.000 to meet other friends in our generation who got married and i'd like recommend marriage to you i

00:54:40.040 think it's it's really good also you don't have any money so well yeah pretty much in our family

00:54:47.980 my mom decided to divorce my dad as soon as possible because my dad used to work for the

00:54:52.500 government oh and my mom did not like that at all and back in the day my mom got in the forced

00:54:59.140 marriage with my dad in terms of you know back then family members used to be like oh i'll pick

00:55:04.320 your husband i'll yeah i'll know who's better for suited for you in terms of like something like

00:55:09.400 that and um it was it got very bad for us because my mom did not want to be with my dad but she was

00:55:19.740 like uh had to deal with it because her family wanted uh her to be with my dad but after my

00:55:26.980 grandparents passed away my mom instantly divorced my dad and uh me and my mom been living together

00:55:33.720 for a long time like more than 10 years but in terms of financially um we were in a very tight

00:55:42.020 spot because i didn't have enough money to even check how much balance i had in the bank because

00:55:49.040 you need to have like a little balance to check how much money you have so all the money that we

00:55:54.120 were getting was from our grandparents um like what do you call it like pensions when they used

00:56:00.300 to work uh i guess yeah their pensions when they pass away yeah all of our income was from dad which

00:56:05.420 we were saving enough to be able to travel to have fun and stuff like that because my mom loves

00:56:10.060 traveling she doesn't want to stay in iran at all and uh yeah wow so she's still she's still there

00:56:17.720 and she's hoping to maybe not be there sadly okay how common are arranged um married because i

00:56:26.340 thought like the norm in a lot of muscle majority countries was arranged marriages like you just

00:56:31.000 reach out to like your cousins or whatever is that rare in our end and now it's close to like

00:56:37.740 non like you can't see it anywhere anymore oh the one the oranges you see are usually

00:56:43.880 mullahs or like

00:56:46.180 governments who usually do 0.82

00:56:48.220 arranged marriage now. It's pretty much 0.88

00:56:50.100 impossible to see a normal Persian 1.00

00:56:51.960 doing it. 1.00

00:56:54.240 That makes sense.

00:56:55.380 Another question I was wondering because I was just

00:56:57.860 unwrapping this and I guess Simone you got this for our kids

00:56:59.880 like a baseball set?

00:57:01.600 Oh yeah.

00:57:02.960 What is that?

00:57:04.300 They're little like silicone baseball diamonds.

00:57:07.540 We don't have baseball

00:57:09.820 in our country so I don't know what that is.

00:57:11.580 I was actually going to ask you

00:57:13.180 like what sports did you yeah what are the big sports yeah um like the top three i guess uh

00:57:19.020 volleyball and football and basketball like volleyball is one of the top three yeah in our

00:57:26.980 country okay so i wanted to find out why i ran and volleyball became a thing um so ayatollah

00:57:32.280 was a big fan and uh they added it to a lot of their school and university systems and then they

00:57:39.240 began to won a lot of national championships uh not national like global championships olympics

00:57:46.060 etc and that allowed it to be easier for people to like focus on and get excited about uh and then

00:57:51.740 it just became sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy of like we're uniquely good at it so let's be

00:57:55.760 proud about it volleyball is one of the top three there's badminton tennis wait men's volleyball

00:58:02.500 men's volleyball

00:58:04.740 sorry 0.95

00:58:07.060 there are there are women as well 1.00

00:58:09.600 but like they have to wear hijab and like 1.00

00:58:11.740 yeah see it's not as fun 1.00

00:58:13.560 you know when the women aren't in 1.00

00:58:15.500 in hot pants 1.00

00:58:16.920 in America

00:58:19.860 volleyball is

00:58:21.580 I'm sure you've seen it's the fan service

00:58:23.660 sport you know yeah volleyball is generally

00:58:25.720 the fan service sport 1.00

00:58:26.880 it's the women with the big

00:58:29.000 oh wrestling too wrestling is huge too

00:58:31.600 in my country oh what uh what style like um the uh the the i i have no clue i don't know much

00:58:38.520 about wrestling but i see them like holding each other and trying to throw each other in the ground

00:58:43.100 kind of like sumo but uh it's wrestling and you get it sounds like the standard type that i

00:58:48.140 practiced growing up i did wrestling i hated it um and apparently my country is very high

00:58:54.080 in terms of wrestling rankings oh what were you into were you ever into sports or anything like

00:59:00.540 that or just get i've done kung fu karate um tried to do swimming did not work out i can't swim at

00:59:08.980 all i tried uh i did boxing what else it's a pretty good variety i guess yeah i tried everything i

00:59:20.100 could badminton basketball i hated football because it's just football didn't make sense

00:59:26.080 at all what about um video because i would imagine video games would be quite costly but

00:59:32.620 of course you can pirate them so like did you play a lot of video games growing up or still

00:59:37.920 or is that not like the biggest um i guess you could say games inside of our country that gets

00:59:45.240 played a lot is counter-strike football a rainbow six siege and call of duty okay well not bad taste

00:59:54.700 did you did you recognize the countdown sound at the beginning of this uh so there was no oh yeah

01:00:01.200 three two one yeah we used the mario kart countdown sound so i wasn't sure if you would

01:00:06.940 catch that but i guess less than i think less than 10 percent of the people in my country know

01:00:13.320 what mario is so really that's so interesting so yeah the properties nobody in my country

01:00:19.140 really knows about pokemon but they know it because of pokemon go oh we don't know anything

01:00:25.500 oh also it was a very very small trend of people who knew about yugioh including me i got first

01:00:32.820 edition cons when i came out uh in my country then there's bakugan that people kind of knew about

01:00:39.060 and other than that everything got sanctioned after that nothing after that that came out we

01:00:43.920 don't know about it so what i have um and you know you can catch up on a lot of video games

01:00:49.980 with this there you can buy online i buy them for my kids these um game consoles that are like

01:00:55.920 60 and have every game made up until like five years ago on them they're like little it's like

01:01:03.320 roms obviously they're all stolen right like they're but it's it's it allows you to have like

01:01:07.960 every game made for every major console system for like 60 bucks up until i mean maybe not five

01:01:13.420 years they go up until about like 10 years ago but it's still a lot of great stuff um he's still

01:01:19.500 buying the basics i just went on your shopping trip with you via youtube and yes everyone should

01:01:24.000 subscribe to asad's channel i think it's just it's let's see it's subscribe definitely donate

01:01:30.220 to his channel over our console you're talking about no i hadn't either until malcolm it just

01:01:35.340 turned up uh and he handed it to our kids they're like these tiny little game consoles

01:01:39.960 basically in china game boy don't they yeah they make they make these rip-offs and they look like

01:01:45.100 old-timey game boys but they have enough hardware in them to play like super nintendo stuff and like

01:01:51.140 uh you know a lot of a lot of like more advanced games like up to xbox and stuff

01:01:55.880 and so uh i just give them to my kids and they break them in like a month but uh they're

01:02:01.900 oh that's that's cool i need to look it up yeah how many cheap for you yeah it's apparently

01:02:11.000 affordable to malcolm um i would not give it for our children our children make everything

01:02:17.800 we make um our money these days the the the honest way which was a a not safe for work

01:02:25.100 chatbot site called rfab.ai oh my god i saw that someone sent me a link and said yeah

01:02:31.320 you go into an interview with base camp this is their website they make a lot of money i was like

01:02:36.880 what i was like what does this nsfw want it's like oh yeah you should turn that off

01:02:40.960 you can turn it off by the way yes the kids thingy or whatever it was on the left side of

01:02:49.880 the filters but it's what everybody uses it for right like i can't control what people decide to

01:02:55.100 use it we made our site originally like just as like a creative studio and people were using it

01:03:01.580 for not safe for work stuff and i was like okay so you want that i tell you that's what you want

01:03:08.960 to give me money for sure um i mean if it works it works i guess it works we it's owned by a

01:03:16.180 non-profit which we then use to develop educational tools so if and look no one no one pays for or

01:03:23.080 funds or donates to that kind of development anymore so like we are happy to do that it is

01:03:29.700 totally what are you doing this is not an asmr video it's down down with the box i'm breaking

01:03:36.920 it down no we're not breaking down boxes for recycling no we're not no sir sir what what is

01:03:45.080 the plan going ahead like you just kind of want to build up your video editing services and maybe

01:03:49.040 like do more content creation which i would love because i love your channel um but what's the plan

01:03:53.460 since i was a kid i always loved making videos um on youtube but at first making youtube videos in

01:04:01.600 my country was fine but everyone looked at you like why is this person recording in public that's

01:04:07.320 not normal so i was like okay i'm not gonna do that then i'm gonna record at home i started

01:04:11.900 recording at home and i got up to like 200 300 000 subscribers in my own country's like social

01:04:18.540 media wow and then i did new absurd rules came in dancing not allowed like like english songs

01:04:27.640 not allowed like this not allowed so i was like you know what i'm just gonna stop making content

01:04:33.020 and make all of my videos disappear from that social media app and um i started going on youtube

01:04:39.000 youtube was brutal i can't lie when i started youtube uh i started like making videos about

01:04:46.540 like the mobile gosh again i used to play and when i got monetized well i couldn't get the money so

01:04:52.680 the government has issued a third party company where you can like make deals with them and they

01:04:59.480 were like yeah we will monetize all your money that you get from youtube and we will only take

01:05:04.300 20 of them but there's a catch you're not allowed to upload any videos without their permission

01:05:09.860 the videos you upload they have to be reviewed by them and the thumbnails you make if it has

01:05:15.780 like maybe boobs in it from one of the gacha characters you completely cannot upload oh my 0.74

01:05:21.740 goodness so when i said okay i don't want to work with you anymore they said okay pay us a fee for

01:05:27.640 ending the contract sooner than you were supposed to for three thousand dollars so i had to

01:05:32.800 completely go inactive for three years until my channel got released by these guys and uh my girl

01:05:41.120 decided to open up a bank account under her name for me to be able to monetize my channel oh that's

01:05:46.940 awesome that's that's good to hear but that's a that that sucks so it's hard enough to monetize

01:05:52.380 on youtube and you just deal with all that my goodness but i i think you're at the beginning

01:05:57.640 of a of a good thing now and in addition to that by the way something you have to check out and i'm

01:06:01.860 like seriously check it out uh our fab has uh if you do video editing and that's that's where

01:06:07.480 you're making your money rfab has a very good video editing suite um we we built it because

01:06:13.020 rfab oh it's the website rfab.ai is the it's the it's the website with another um if you go to it

01:06:20.380 and you go to um creative tools and then you go to the video editing or video recording like we're

01:06:25.620 doing a video recording on rfab right now um uh the the video editor that we have will take

01:06:31.440 a video that you have and then it will give you all of the text for the video like all the words

01:06:36.640 for the video and you can edit the video by moving the words around like moving the text around and

01:06:41.800 copying and pasting it um okay but you can also uh like remove all hesitations with one click you

01:06:49.260 can remove all places where people are quiet with one click you can easily you know like make cuts

01:06:55.840 and then put in a quiet like put in an audio and then put in a quiet like ai made loop video behind

01:07:03.500 it that we do a lot like we do just check it i use it for all of our stuff because that's very

01:07:09.340 convenient i can't lie i don't yeah and it's it's very inexpensive compared to equivalent software

01:07:15.180 like descript the reason we made it is because we got tired of paying our video editing software

01:07:19.300 like a lot of people don't use it like it's not one of the more used features on the website

01:07:24.460 because like you can do work or you can jack off and apparently people want to you know

01:07:30.740 they've made their choices clear but it's the most tested feature on the website because

01:07:37.140 malcolm has to run an episode for our podcast every single day and he

01:07:40.780 works okay i'll make sure to check it out because right now i'll give you free credits on the

01:07:49.420 website terrible laptop oh oh yeah hey yo okay okay uh we'll give you free my laptop is terrible

01:07:56.980 right now so this would help yes because also for some reason when it like uh however it's

01:08:04.020 exporting videos is they're like they render really really quickly for whatever reason i

01:08:07.700 don't know why yeah until you get your new laptop this is going to be hopefully well i'll tell you

01:08:11.800 why they export really quickly simone in case you're wondering the magic behind the scenes

01:08:16.040 explain it to me uh they start up a separate server on amazon web services um and they do

01:08:23.020 all of the processing on the separate server so they're not doing the processing on your computer

01:08:28.000 and they're not doing the processing on um uh our aws backend it's a completely unique service

01:08:34.980 okay yeah then just give us the email that's associated you want to associate with an rfab

01:08:38.800 account that you use for editing and we'll just give you the tokens you need to do we'll give

01:08:41.820 you tokens and in addition to that if you end up liking or using it we are happy to do sponsorships

01:08:47.840 with you on future stuff um hey yo let's go my first sponsor okay i'm excited for this and you

01:08:55.400 can give people the safe for work link you just go backslash safe we have a safe account into

01:08:59.960 safe for work um and and then uh we also do um the other thing that i can do for you is if you're

01:09:06.200 using the software and you're like this could be better or i want this feature that's not here

01:09:11.020 let us know and we'll build it that's how that's how we build things up so anyway yeah

01:09:16.200 so wait so you're gonna do more content creation and video editing i didn't know you had that many

01:09:21.080 followers in your own country before you had to start fresh and now you're i didn't want to tell

01:09:28.960 anyone who i was on my own youtube instead of my social media sure because the government pretty

01:09:34.280 much figures out who i am in like two seconds so i didn't want to show that out but in terms of my

01:09:39.720 future plans um i love to do youtube yes but in terms of like my most important goal is just

01:09:47.760 having a normal life i just want to do my own thing you know without having to worry about

01:09:52.940 like internet going out or this this is like going to blow up and like two seconds later

01:09:58.100 like america and israel attacks and i have to like pretty much sit idle in the middle of the

01:10:04.060 hall waiting until the war ends so has it felt very different being in india like just like

01:10:09.360 or are you still like settling it um it's very much more calming i can tell you that

01:10:17.960 i haven't when i sleep it feels so calm that it feels like i've never slept like this for the last

01:10:25.880 like a year oh man it feels because every time i'm in iran when i'm like sleeping i have to sleep

01:10:34.020 with like one eye open as you as you call it either the government is going after you or you

01:10:39.040 have to deal with america wanting to bomb you because they just released a new video we're

01:10:44.040 gonna destroy all the governments and stuff like that and just gonna wait until you hear a jet

01:10:50.100 if you hear a loud bang you just pretty much wake up especially after the ptsd i have because

01:10:55.540 like two buildings next to uh my house got blown up by a rocket it was like very loud so i couldn't

01:11:03.720 sleep like at all that's enough to yeah just how hard is it to get out of the country now

01:11:12.020 like was i don't know something you can talk about but like do you either was there legal

01:11:17.560 ways to do it or is it like there is legal ways but you need to have a lot of money because you

01:11:23.820 only earn forty dollars a month and your normal ticket will cost you about a thousand dollars to

01:11:28.800 get out so legal way yes there is way i got out the legal way and i tell you it hurts because i

01:11:35.400 had to sell my house so if i want if you want me to explain how bad the economic is going

01:11:40.840 about like it hasn't even been a year seven months ago i said i'm gonna sell my house it was worth

01:11:46.960 fifteen thousand dollars uh two months ago it got sold for seven thousand dollars and then a few

01:11:54.020 weeks after that i converted it to dollars and i only got 5 000 so i got one third of the money

01:12:00.060 of the entire house for selling my house it's brutal of how you can like earn money and keep

01:12:06.140 your money's uh value inside of the country so it's very hard wow i guess the best time to have

01:12:12.400 done that then is is already and i'm really glad that's behind you and i'm glad you got the the one

01:12:17.660 of the hardest things to get these days is a partner who you like so i i hope that that that

01:12:23.000 gets locked down for you yeah that is the nice thing i'm so excited i mean to be fair i have the

01:12:27.980 wedding ring inside of my bag for proposal you know so yeah wait she doesn't know do i need to

01:12:36.540 cut this out no no don't worry she won't she doesn't know who you guys are yet oh my gosh

01:12:44.880 i am so excited for you i can't tell you how awesome it is like i i have just been so thrilled

01:12:54.340 to be married like since we get because every every marriage i ever saw growing up was terrible

01:13:00.140 and i didn't know if you marry somebody who you like and who you like working on things with

01:13:05.200 which it sounds like you do as your partner like yeah that you're both entrepreneurs and you're

01:13:09.020 both doing yeah yeah i'm always like if you can work on projects together that means you're going

01:13:13.640 to whenever somebody tells me like why do you work with your wife like that seems like it would be

01:13:17.700 terrible i'm like why why did you marry someone you don't want to work with yeah like especially

01:13:21.060 if you're gonna have kids like you you can you can you know leave a business venture together

01:13:24.860 you can you know whatever but you can't like can't leave kids she she's worth it i i sacrifice

01:13:30.740 everything again you have it's so romantic it's it's very romantic oh my goodness but it's giving

01:13:38.220 you hopefully a place to to to grow from in a in a more stable environment you're kind of trying to

01:13:44.900 talk with her family her family do not accept me at all because of where i'm coming from

01:13:50.240 and no matter how much i explain it it's still a difficulty so we're trying to figure that out

01:13:56.780 that is tough i think now that you're there though they can get to know you like when

01:14:02.520 Malcolm asked my parents for their blessing they said no but then we got married anyway after that

01:14:10.860 like he spent some time with them and then they love him like now he's fine I think they just need

01:14:15.960 to get to know you but there's you know ethnic things in India and I don't know much more 0.99

01:14:22.360 difficult here yes and I don't have a religious background but um if she's not from a Muslim

01:14:28.680 religious background there could be biases she is from a very strict family oh yeah so a strict

01:14:36.160 because of the past history of india and pakistan fighting each other they see me the same way kind

01:14:42.700 of yeah they're not gonna see like an american they're not gonna see like a persian and an arab

01:14:48.380 is different from each other yeah very i told them that but they just say the government look

01:14:54.440 your government right now how do you like that's my government come on yeah that's difficult that's

01:15:01.260 i i i see where they're uh yeah that's i i well uh the the uh i i hope things work out for you

01:15:09.540 i mean i know it's it's tough but uh what i'd be like it's look you want grandkids or not

01:15:14.060 you're not you're not getting them without me you know

01:15:16.880 we're planning on that

01:15:21.400 if we do get married

01:15:22.660 I personally want a daughter

01:15:25.580 I can't lie

01:15:26.580 daughters are so great 1.00

01:15:28.260 I have one curled up right next to me 0.96

01:15:30.040 the daughter always goes to 0.58

01:15:32.980 oh my god 1.00

01:15:34.100 there she is 1.00

01:15:35.140 oh my god you're one of the cutest daughters

01:15:39.640 I'm so excited 0.99

01:15:40.440 the reason I want a daughter is because daughters always 1.00

01:15:43.640 go to their dad 0.99

01:15:44.580 they kind of do though

01:15:46.400 don't they yeah all right all right well it was a joy to have you on um i'm going to after this

01:15:54.200 um this weekend uh do some follow-up where i will reach out to some of the content creators i know

01:16:00.860 um and see if they're interested in doing something with you uh also sign up on rfeb

01:16:06.460 and send us the email that you use to do that and we'll give you tokens and if you like it for what

01:16:12.780 you're doing we can do some sort of promotion thing or like any just other facets of it that

01:16:16.980 you just think are fun that you feel like you would be comfortable talking about then we could

01:16:20.500 talk about sponsors yeah yeah obviously like we would never sponsor something on our podcast that

01:16:24.900 we didn't like insanely like feel comfortable doing so we wouldn't ask you for that but anyway

01:16:30.420 yeah we'd love to be sponsors so um that'll be crazy you guys gonna be my first ever sponsor

01:16:36.180 if that happens that would be crazy i would love that i've been i've been trying to like get

01:16:41.460 sponsorship from anywhere but whatever i get recommended is from nordvpn or express i can't

01:16:48.200 promote that because it doesn't even work in my country so that's the point

01:16:51.660 it doesn't work but try nordvpn oh man yeah they'll come they'll come the more will come um

01:17:01.920 we weirdly like i think a lot of people have weird email triggers for for youtube accounts and then

01:17:07.140 after we hit 50 and then again after we hit 80 we got all these new like influxes um but once you

01:17:14.160 hit 50 i think it's when you're gonna start and you're gonna be there so fast you're gonna be

01:17:18.100 there so fast like this weekend you're probably getting 200 followers per video that's insane

01:17:22.420 yeah i'm happy with it yeah no the more yeah anyway you get to our level of production we do

01:17:28.280 a video every day now so get there and you can start you can yeah then you'll be getting you'll

01:17:34.440 be racking them up fast but yeah okay that'll be crazy video every day is ridiculous it's uh it's

01:17:40.160 so it's a lot but we it's fun man like it's really fun so yeah but i mean it will be more fun if i

01:17:46.620 can use my face so i don't have to worry about editing every time to see my reflection i have

01:17:51.320 to edit it out so it's very hard that's uh yeah that is that is well everything looks smooth on

01:17:58.480 this so that's good so here's the question if you if you can make enough money for this are

01:18:03.280 you going to take your mom out of the country for sure she hates being there why would i keep her

01:18:08.360 there okay okay okay i wasn't sure she wanted to say okay she loves turkey so if i can't make 0.98

01:18:14.540 enough i will try to get her a place in turkey where she can like do whatever she wants inside

01:18:20.180 of turkey she loves turkey she's like endless all the drama and i'm just in india with my girl 0.93

01:18:28.860 trying to start a life i'm trying to purchase purchase us a house if i can and um like pretty

01:18:35.680 much get everything sorted so their family sees hey i'm trying to buy even a house over here i'm
