Comedy and Relationship Talk: There's No...

About this episode

Who would have known that one of the worst things about adulting, would be relationship struggles?!

As they say, first comes the butterflies, then comes the emotional trauma.

Since, we are in the midst of dealing with seasonal depression, I had to bring on my girl Mai, from MaisVault, to cheer us up a bit!

Before I give you the scoop on today’s episode, Mai pulled the oldest Arab girl trick in the book - you know the one where people can’t tell if we're single, or if we’re in a 7-year relationship, or possibly getting engaged tomorrow night - who knows!

Well, when recording this episode, Mai was as single as can be, or so I thought - this past week we found out Mai got engaged and the internet erupted with joy.

A huge congrats to one of my favorite people and I am truly wishing Mai and her fiancé endless love and happiness inshallah! 

As for today’s episode, we have a lot of important topics to  cover such as who is more famous, Mai or Mama Wafaa - who we have all come to know and love!

And in this conversation, Mai takes us through her journey of becoming a viral sensation and how she continues to come up with relatable content that sends us all laughing. It’s true when they say that laughter is the best form of medicine and I’m not alone when it comes to appreciating Mai for creating such hilarious skits that truly take a lot of effort behind the scenes.

In this episode I may have flipped the script on Mai and asked her very juicy relationship questions from deal breakers to turn offs and what would she do if her date asked her to split the bill…
