Two gay Palestinian men with too many opinions and not enough patience for explaining ourselves. While our people endure genocide and struggle for liberation, we’re here to shed light on the everyday lives of queer Palestinians in the diaspora—our joys, contradictions, petty debates, and deep feelings. This isn’t a defense, it’s a conversation. Join Khalil and Ali as we navigate it all with humor, honesty, and absolutely no filter.

Khalil and Ali unpack the ritual, chaos, and emotional math of partying when you're queer, Palestinian, and tired. From pre-game anxiety and ADHD meds to lineups, Uber politics, and avoiding exes in the club, this episode delivers dry humor, sharp critique, and enough sass to power a disco ball. They discuss smoking as survival, guest list elitism, and why the pre-game often eats the main event. Also: Ali demands five compliments minimum, Khalil fights jacket check culture, and both agree—being hot doesn't mean you have to show up.
