E361. Why Gen Z Is Revolting Globally - Ehsan Ahmad

Comedian Ehsan Ahmad joins Bridget for a hilarious discussion about all things cultural including Muslims naming their kids "Jihad", the need to call out the crazy in your family, our government's meme wars, the absurdity of how Kamala lost the election by not going on a bunch of comedians' podcasts, why AI memes are to blame for your 20% energy spike, and his take on H1B visas. They also cover how there’s no small government Republicans left, why it feels like we've been in a secret recession since COVID, the importance of home ownership and how it's out of reach for many Americans, the Riyadh comedy festival, why Bernie would’ve crushed Trump in 2016, and the changes they've seen in stand-up audiences in the last decade and what that tells them about the culture. Check out Ehsan's podcast The Solid Show - https://www.youtube.com/@UCOeKWlHQaxzhjHnUrOM_qSQ Sponsor Links: - Transform your fitness with science based training.
