Cousin Connection Pod

HAPPY THURSDAY COUSINS!!!!!!!

We’re back with another brand new episode! This week, we’re celebrating Amir’s birthday, talking about the joys of getting older and what happens when your metabolism decides to quit on you 😂. We also get into some wild tech conversations — is your TV spying on you, have hackers officially lost their way, and can we PLEASE leave the iPhone in 2026??

And of course, we couldn’t have an episode without getting into some Toronto and Canadian current events. We talk about bike lanes, whether transit is actually more reliable than driving, and the ongoing conversations around Islam, and Quebec’s latest moves. There’s definitely a lot to unpack this week 👀.

To finish things off, we dive into an AITA about avoiding a friend — because sometimes you just need to protect your peace lol.

So grab a snack/drink, start your chores, or go for a very long drive and hang out with your cousins! We hope you enjoy the episode, and as always, thank you for all the love, comments, DMs, and support. Don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss more episodes and vlogs!

WE LOVE YALL! ❤️
