I mean, I started selling used cars. That was one of my biggest hustles. You sold used cars? Yeah, dude. You flipped them. Yeah. eBay or in person or what? In person. So what I would do to pay for college, one of the many hustles is I would just buy a car on Craigslist, like let's say a 1997 Cadillac Seville, which was like three grand. I'd buy it.
And the next, I wouldn't even transfer the title. Next day, I would just relist it on Craigslist for like $4,000. And I would sell it. I had no modifications, no title transfer. I'd skip the, there's a word for it when you skip the title transfer. And I would just make $1,000. And back then, I mean, $1,000, that was paying for a lot of ramen noodles. Dude, right now $1,000 is killer, bro.
thousand bucks is not worth much anymore i don't know bro in a tariff world i'll take a thousand i mean i'll take it everybody that's my new take everyone on earth could use a thousand bucks that's a good take and it's true but a thousand bucks in new york is one matcha latte and like a gourmet hot dog those sound like needs No, those are wants.
That everybody... How do you decide... Actually, that's a good question. How do you decide what to pursue between your wants and your needs? I'm here on Earth. Constantly trying to avoid earthly desires. Yeah. You seem like the type of guy who has a good head on his shoulders.
Yeah, that's why you buy the Range Rover instead of the Toyota Camry. No, because selfishly, the Range Rover, you're like, look, I'll look cool, I'll be swaggy, but I can also fit seven. Whereas if I get the Toyota Camry, I can only fit...
I've seen your clothing. I know what's going on. Yeah, but this helps a lot of people. It helps the garment workers. See? I have to buy it. Yep, here we go. It helps. Don't even get me on fashion. Arabs in general because they're like, he's stylish and cool and maybe I can be stylish and cool as well.
I'm trying to get everyone off the mud. I want to be a good role model. That is actually something I really think about all the time. You know, I try to make content That is positive, not uplifting.
I just don't want to put out negative vibes into the universe. Same, dude. So, like, everything I do, I run it through that filter of, like... It's almost like that great rule, which I'm sure you have as well, but, like, not doing any advertising that promotes tobacco, alcohol, or gambling. Sure. I don't do that. And one time I tried... To justify it to my mom? Yeah.
I was like, what if I'm in an ad for a tequila company, but I'm not drinking? Yeah. And I'm also saying, I'm not telling people to drink, but I'm standing next to it. And she's like, who's paying? I'm like, the tequila company. She's like, you can't do it. And I go, all right, I get it. You know, trying to justify it. Right. But that's putting some negativity into the world.
Damn. Man's got me all the way back in. Is this us?
All right. So here they have the most delicious Semek Meshwe I've ever had in New York. I can't wait. Oh, my God. It truly tastes like it came out of the Nile. I haven't eaten all day. Out of the Mediterranean. Me neither. I haven't eaten all day. I'm very excited. We're going to Hamido's. You like that one? Very good. The lips are so nice and thick. Cheers. We're here, bro.
Don't mock me on my show, bro.
wow that's the meshway baby that tastes like this is something else thank you so much thank you here i'll serve you you're gonna serve me i'll serve you yeah basha i'll serve you that's your dog's name famously famously do you have any nicknames growing up rami salami oh that's a white nickname though that was a white nickname yeah do you have any like ones that weren't making fun of you i ought to be nicknamed
Misho. Misho, that's nice. Did you have one? Kimo. Yeah, Kimo. But the problem is, I would still go by Kimo, but... Yeah, it's not ideal. It's not ideal at all. Yeah. You know when my dad moved to this country? He spelled my name on the passport, or on my birth certificate. K-R-E-M.
Yeah. Wow. And I would go, and I asked my dad, why did you do this? Yeah. He was like, it's easier to spell. I said, bro, it's literally... He's right. It's crap. But it is easier to spell? It is easier to spell because there are two fucking letters missing that are necessary for the name to be Kareem. And so I got it legally changed. And you changed the last name, too? I changed the last name.
That's an interesting story. When my dad moved to the States, his last name was Abu Rahma. Yeah. Yeah. It was like Sayyid Ahmed Abu Rahma. So he removed Abu Rahma and just went with Ahmed. So I was Kareem Ahmed. You were Kareem Ahmed. I was Kareem Ahmed. And I never really liked it because what really bothered me is it was two first names. Oh shit, you have two first names. I do.
I hate two first names. My uncle is Yusuf Yusuf. Two first names. I don't like two first names. And I'm sorry that I insulted your name. You first name shamed me, yeah, but... Maybe it was a beef problem. Yeah, you're gonna have beef with a lot of people, man. How often do you go to Egypt? Every year.
That's a painful memory. Because my dad would always get so mad that he had to buy the phone card because it was like $40 for 10 minutes. That's expensive, bro. $3 a minute? Yeah. And then you barely know Arabic? Crazy. You know? Crazy. Say hi to your grandma. Hi. Oh, wow, your loser son doesn't speak Arabic anymore? And then it's quiet.
John C. Reilly. I love that. He hit me with the Inshallah. That's, yeah. It was cool.
It'll just be like everyone's Muslim. Well, Stepbrothers is an allegory about two young guys who are lost. And then they find Islam. And then they convert. And that's all of John T. Reilly just saying inshallah to you.
