Hairy Butthole Ep. 31: My Dad Wasn’t There for Me Until He was There for Me (with Sameer Naseem)

This week, Youngmi Mayer talks to Sameer Naseem (comedian, host of Halal Cartels podcast) about standup comedy. Sameer and Youngmi chat about their nontraditional processes as comedians and judging themselves for being different. Sameer also discusses the nuances of growing up with an immigrant father whose expression of love differed from the other dads in his community. Ultimately, both of them realize that different expressions of love cannot be quantified or judged as “better” or “worse.”
