If you have noticed from the title today i am doing something a little different, Hopefully you will like it. I am going to try to do more of a log/blog/vlog or what I like to call a “Plog” Since this is mainly a Podcast and a vlog but vlog is not the right word. It is essentially a normal podcast but i think Plog sounds catchy. Could you imagein if that term took off. Remember, you heard it here first :-P
For this first Plog, I wanted to give you a little background about myself for those of you who might be interested, since i have gotten questions like
Why are you doing a podcast about bad funny jokes?
and comments like
Your podcast are good for a quick listen
So to start off, I am Egyptian but I did grow up In the U.S. That's why my accent is extra American. I grew up in Pennsylvania; go eagles, just kidding Believe it or not I'm actually a Cowboys fan. I know, I'm gonna get a lot of heat for that but what can I say, it all started when I was a kid and I started getting into football it was back in the early 90s when the Emmitt Smith, Michael Erving, and Troy Aikman were the triplets, not to mention my favorite player is Deion Sanders.
Anyway, I digress. Although I grew up in the USA i am currently back in Egypt. I have a computer science degrees so i am working in the Tech field. While at work I noticed i am making more and more jokes. Sometimes really bad ones and nobody really likes bad jokes in general but here in Egypt they really dont like it and these kind of jokes have a spacific word pernounced “alsh“. its not a bad work, loosely translated it means a miss or a slip; describing a joke that did not land (either on prepuce or by accident).
Most of the time i am the only one laughing and my friends and the even my wife would be like,
Dude you have to stop, you gonna get killed Banished from society
Being the stubborn person that I am I kept pursuing it. I kept making these jokes because every once in a while i would get one that really lands even with people that really hate these kind of joke and i noticed it put them in a better mood. Even the ones that did not land at least put a smile on there face. Which i loved doing as well. Believe me, i am no comedian and i know how hard it is for them to do what they do, this is why i stick to the one liners, dad jokes, and puns. If i can make someone smile i am happy.
This is why I decided since I crack myself up and there's a few people that might like it, why not actually create a Podcast and share smiles with people from all over. In addition I thought this would be a fun creative outlet for me.
Since i have a day job I wanted to make the episodes of the Podcast short for my sake and the sake of my audience. could you imagine an hour of non-stop dad jokes and puns. Unless i am mistaken. let me know in the comments below what length you would prefer. I am planning to keep the “Show me the funny series“ as is, around 5 min, while the Plogs can be a bit longer. let me know what you think.
Finally, if you are still reading, first, thank you :-) second any support you can give in terms of likes, comments, downloads, and subscriptions is greatly appreciated. It helps to know i am putting smiles on other’s faces. I hope you are enjoying this and the other content on the podcast as well as the Social media.
Don’t forget to share a smile today :-)
