Is there such a thing as being too rich for shawarma?
This week on Pass The Kabsa, a complaint about a shawarma restaurant in Riyadh's Hittin neighborhood sparks a full-blown debate about food smells, traffic, class, and whether rich people have officially run out of problems.
Then Shamsi announces his return to gaming after buying a PlayStation 5 and discovering God of War in 2026. Apparently, buying a kettle, learning Japanese crafts, and spending time at home are all part of his character development.
Things take a more serious turn as we dive into the US election results, Trump's political future, the cost of living, and the influence of money on American democracy. We also debate why Arabs celebrate Muslim and Arab politicians winning elections in America, whether representation actually translates into meaningful change, and the complicated relationship between Saudi Arabia, the Gulf, and the wider Arab world.
And somehow, we end up discussing techno-feudalism and Cyberpunk 2077.
From shawarma to geopolitics, it's another week around the table.
