My guest, Talha Khan, is a heavily-involved activist protesting against the genocide of Palestinians by Israel military forces. Talha recently participated & coordinated the longest running student protest across the entire U.S. held at the tri-campus area of downtown Denver, where CU Denver, Metro State, & CCD coalesce. These protests were held in protest for academic institutions to disclose their investments and after transparent disclosure, divestment from any & all entities funding Israel.
Now, this is a comedy show, so I had to get my quips in where I could, no matter how difficult or distasteful it felt at times. We tried our best to inject satire & sarcasm when we could, while also speaking to the atrocities that the world can now watch on social media. Our conversation does not entirely center around the conflict between Israel & Palestine. We also discuss how Talha has found ways to make an impact through his work at the Boulder Homeless Shelter.
Ultimately, this episode is about catching up with an old high school acquaintance, who since I last saw him over eight years ago — has worked in the ski industry, then pivoted to cannabis after the pandemic impacted the slopes, and is now consistently dedicating himself and his energy to making a positive difference in the lives of others.
We discussed military AI, Talha’s redefinition of “making it” in life, the importance of “good-faith” as foundational bedrock of society, and of course we finally get to learn about the infamous “Milk-Runs” in our ‘After-Hours’ portion of the show.
