Today, we invite the talented musical artist Anik Khan to the show, but he's not here to talk about hip hop. He's here to talk about everything important in his upbringing that led him to who he has become today, and why hip hop was a necessary decision afterwards. We talk about Anik's purpose more than just his story. Also, anime.

Outro // Anik Khan - Mantra

Why is Ali Reza Malik single? Other than the fact that he's pretty weird? Looks, at best, a 7.5? Has an average yearly salary of $30,000? Wants to name one of his kids after a Pokemon? Owns exactly two suits, neither of them fitting? Hold on, why are we doing this episode.

Also, we take a review of Atif's Halal / Haram project, with hints of what's next to come.

Outro // Arcade Fire - Haiti

Ali Ateeq is our honored guest today, here to reply to some of the basic behaviors we outlined in the last episode. Also, Ali gives us a new spin on his career path - why he's becoming a Doctor and the career's relevance in the Pakistani-American community. Amaad Bhatti comes on to co-host with Atif Ateeq, replacing Ali Reza Malik, who's out for vacation.

Today Atif and Ali talk about their paths that led them to today, and how the portrait of both at 30 years old is nothing like what either planned at 20. The conclusion? Stop planning so much. You won't stick to it, anyway.

Not all of our material makes it to the final podcast. Here's a clip from a lost episode where Atif nerd-shames Ali.
