Amir is also the host of the podcast “Salty Locks” and has a bachelor’s degree in History and Political Science. And if that wasn't enough, Amir is a polyglot.  Amir joins Stephen to talk about: -how Amir is taking time during the pandemic to recalibrate and focus on things like improving family dynamics. -how standup has made Amir more articulate (and how he’s still working on it). -why Amir started the podcast “Salty Locks” and where he wants to take it in the future. -the art of riffing on stage and how it can take comedy to the next level. -how Amir’s approach to comedy allows his fans to come see him night after night.  Then the two get into some self-help, including getting inspiration from a robot, how to make a painting for your boyfriend when you don't know how to paint, and the do's (or do-do's?) and don't's of colonoscopy prep.  Please subscribe and leave a review on iTunes, Stitcher, or wherever you listen.
