In Afghan Christmas Without Fahim Anwar, we discuss everything from Afghan traditions and holiday controversies to nostalgic internet moments that shaped a generation. We kick things off by reminiscing about where we were during pivotal moments like September 11th, 2001, and the rise of Afghan internet culture in the mid-2000s, featuring the iconic video by Fahim Anwar. We analyze the impact of his comedy and its reception in Afghan and non-Afghan communities. Was it for us, for them, or just for laughs? Next, we jump into hot debates about cultural practices and capitalism. The team dissects everything from flashy spending habits in Afghan communities to the ethics of buying designer items, fast fashion, and even lab-grown diamonds. Are we all just victims of commercialization, or is there something deeper driving our materialistic values? The conversation takes a hilarious turn as we debate holidays like Christmas, Halloween, and even Hanukkah. Can Muslims celebrate a holiday with pagan roots like Christmas? What’s the deal with Afghan families embracing Christmas trees? And why does Halloween get a pass? The boys explore how these traditions intersect with identity and belief systems, all while dropping some laugh-out-loud takes on topics like Pokémon, the Maccabees, and Disney Channel nostalgia. Of course, no AwJiz Boys episode is complete without some spicy tangents. We cover everything from spoiled kids learning life lessons about money to why sneaker culture and designer brands are more about impressing other men than attracting women. And yes, we even talk about spoiled shows (thanks for the Succession spoilers!) and how overexposure affects art, with comparisons of Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake and Dave Chappelle vs. Kevin Hart.
