What is the main topic of this episode?
What the hell is up, y'all? It is Kareem Rahma back with another episode of Subway Takes the Damn podcast. Today I'm joined by Abdullah Saeed, writer and creator of the new show of Deli Boys, now streaming on Hulu. Abdullah came on the show a couple of weeks ago and brought a very intellectually stimulating hot take to the platform. One that is very popular, which is that men are by far the more emotional and hysterical gender. So what's your take?
Why are men considered the more emotional gender?
Men are by far the more emotional and hysterical gender. 100% agree.
100% agree, yeah.
No, men are always enraged. Yeah, I think everyone experiences emotions and the emotional triggers, but men manage their emotions much more poorly. You know, and I think that historically people would say like, oh, women are more emotional because they're expressing their emotions and crying or whatever, right? But they're getting past it. They're processing it in a healthy way. We do not do that.
No, no, we don't. We punch walls, punch doors, punch each other. Yeah, when we're sad or angry and we're like, ah! As a man, what is the worst emotion that you feel?
Sadness because it's really hard to actually, like, feel it without just getting angry, you know, and being like, oh, like, I'm stupid for being sad. You know what I mean? And then, like, you know, it's stuff that men have essentially set up society. That's a big bad thing. That's a big bad thing because look at where we're at today, right? We're not in a good place. And I think it's mostly because a lot of men with power are driven by their anger.
It's OK. It's going to turn around, right? Or do we have to get off? Oh, sorry, ladies. OK. I'm so sorry. Thank you.
I mean, I'm a little bit pissed off that we got kicked off the train. But you're really sad that we got kicked off the train. No, I'm frustrated. But frustration is a two-pronged thing. And you're more in touch with the angry part of yourself. So when you get frustrated, you're sad for a second. But then you blow right past it. And you're like, you, Abdullah. You this off me. How do you think men should cope? Men should go to therapy, first of all, right? 100% disagree. Men should exercise. 100% disagree. And men should talk to other men about their feelings. 100% agree. Maybe have a sleepover with your boys. No, you lost me. I really need that last couple hours at the end of the night for me, you know?
After you watch the movie and jerk off together, then you have quiet time. Right. This is why I'm not crazy about house guests. You know what I mean?
How should men cope with their emotions?
What the hell is up, Abdullah?
Well, it's good, Kareem. How are you? Nice to see you, brother.
I'm great. We were just discussing how it's a wonderful day in Manhattan. I'm posted up. The birds are out.
I know. I can see them behind you. It's a beautiful day in L.A. as well, but that's always the case. Pretty much. In New York, you appreciate the good days because there's all the shitty weather days.
Right.
Here, you just take good things for granted.
We just had probably seven days of shit. It was absolute shit. Rain. You know when it's not even raining? It's not even sprinkling. It's just wet.
What are the challenges of discussing emotions in therapy?
dude i do not miss that at all like that is as you're talking about it and it's wetness is such a part of life because like as you know in the winter it's like you wear that heavy jacket when it's cold and you get on the subway and then you sweat and then you go back out and the sweat freezes on your like that cycle of things is so hellish to me it's disgusting Yeah, it really is.
And all I kept saying is, I just kept saying, why does it smell like worms? But the worm smell, the problem was the worm smell, dude, the worm smell was in my house. And it was also in a restaurant. I kept saying, it smells like worms.
So you mean that pre, kind of when it's wet out, that smell, that New York smell, it's like tinged with urine, right? I was smelling worms, my guy. That's it's so descriptive. I feel like I can smell the worms right now.
Well, when I was a young man, I used to play with worms. I know exactly what they fucking smell like. Also, I'm I'm kind of I'm kind of mashed up. I mean, I don't mash them up. But when I was young, I mean, it was cool that you could literally cut one in half and then it would just be two worms.
