Do Iranians live in a different time?

from Ask An Iranian Hosted by Ask An Iranian

Nothing about how Iranians perceive time correlates with universally understood principles. Regardless of whether it's years, calendar events in the year, months, weeks, days, or even moments, Iranians will do time differently. So be warned, don't plan a meeting, don't arrange a surprise birthday party, and don't arrange a date with an Iranian until you've heard what we have to say on the matter. Listen in to learn more about why Iranians seem to live in another time. Questions we get answers to during this episode Who is Mosedegh and what did the naughty Brits and Americans do to him? Why are the days for the weekend different in Iran and what are they? How many days are there in the working week in Iran? What year is it in the Iranian calendar and why is it different? How many different calendars do Iranians observe? When is the Iranian New year, or Norouz? What is the Yalda celebration in Iran and when does it happen? When do Iranians prefer to celebrate their birthdays? Why are so many Iranians seemingly born in September? If I arrange a meeting with an Iranian, why should re-confirm it?

Shut Up I Love It Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello Many years ago, Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello met in line for an improv show. They were young, dumb, and full of it. What followed were comedy shows so explicit, “genitalia” was practically a term of endearment.Fast forward 5 dogs, 6 cats, and way too many weird inside jokes later, Sasha and Joe are no longer young or dumb—but they’re still brimming with you-know-what. Here, they’ve teamed up to bring you a podcast where they interview a guest who passionately defends something universally hated, misunderstood, forgotten, overlooked, Mandela-effected, canceled—you name it. The key? They LOVE it. From toupees... to B-movies... to aliens, psychedelics, and the occasional surprise character, Sasha and Joe are here to spread love to the world that birthed them (but maybe should’ve used protection).So come and get that love because no one else will give it to you like we do.Also, don’t forget to check out the Patreon Bonus version of the show:https://www.patreon.com/c/ShutUpILoveItP Explicit The Anonymous Eskimo Podcast Ralph Sara The Anonymous Eskimo Podcast is an Indigenous podcast devoted to uplift Indigenous peoples, with a mission to send hope to those struggling with the negative stigma placed upon mental health issues, the disease of alcoholism, and drug addiction.
