Wesam is back with Episode 335 of Wesam’s World Podcast! This week, it’s just Wesam and Alex—so naturally, things get chaotic in the best way.
Wesam shares some of the craziest pranks he pulled off as a teenager (brace yourself), and the conversation spirals from there: how the world is starting to feel like real-life Hunger Games, the rise of Main Character Syndrome, and why you need more “no” people in your life—not just yes-men—if you actually want to stay grounded and grow.
They also take a moment to mourn the slow, painful death of cable TV, and reflect on how entertainment has evolved (for better or worse).
Laughter, hot takes, and unfiltered honesty—classic Wesam’s World.
