Egyptian: <laugh> yes kind of yeah

Egyptian: yeah okay so let's go to the next question

Egyptian: okay

Egyptian: which is yeah

Egyptian: did you have a uh a favorite book or a film or a tv show or cartoon as a child

Egyptian: yeah that's that's of course i had uh favorite like i had favorite books not one and yeah because i used to read a lot of novels so basically i used to like most of them because i was really picky as a child so

Egyptian: yeah

Egyptian: i only picked the the good ones so yeah one of them was let me remember one of them was the fear valley or the valley of fear something like that and it used to be brilliant and i used to think about it a lot even after i finished it for many many years 'cause i really really liked the character in this uh novel it was a police character but we did not know during the whole novel uh we we

Egyptian: oh

Egyptian: yeah that was like something that we got uh dis we discovered at the end of the uh at the end of the novel that was really shocking uh huh it was

Egyptian: mm hmm

Egyptian: yeah it was surprisingly shocking um yeah this man he was like very tough man very intelligent quick mind and very strong and yeah he's got like he was like wow the super male character you would like to be

Egyptian: <laugh>

Egyptian: yeah i like this

Egyptian: yeah the gigachad character

Egyptian: yeah <laugh> i really liked this personality and i i even used to try to behave like him like just like league of legends i um i whenever i like someone i i feel like i wanna like get or try to be someone

Egyptian: yeah be like them in some way

Egyptian: yeah exactly so yeah eh so like i will tell you about the situation imagine at the the criminals club or the criminals clan he wanted to go into so he can get them caught uh they had something like an entrance exam

Egyptian: yeah

Egyptian: in which uh in which they had to do something that is very very hard like you know this metal thing that they used to print s s some shapes on the hor the back of the horses

Egyptian: yes yeah

Egyptian: yeah they put it on fire until the uh metal is like is red uh

Egyptian: yes

Egyptian: from the heat and then they print it on the body and the skin of the uh horse and it's a very tough thing imagine they used to do that in that clan

Egyptian: uh on horses or humans

Egyptian: on the humans who wanted to join them

Egyptian: oh wow that is something i definitely do not wanna try

Egyptian: <laugh> yeah exactly they they like no one will ever wanna try something like that

Egyptian: <laugh> yeah

Egyptian: they used to do it eh on their shoulders and keep the shoulders exposed so anyone who goes around they know that this is one of these criminals or one of these clans so they fear them they don't wanna like you don't wanna get involved uh with those people like they're so criminal they're so tough because you actually can see this through once you see uh the the thing printed on their shoulder

Egyptian: yeah

Egyptian: yeah they've gone through that and

Egyptian: yes so it it's like a rite of passage and also a print to identify the the clan right

Egyptian: exactly not not only that like imagine that uh the uh the factor on on which you will succeed or do not succeed in this exam is that while they're doing that while they're melting your own skin printing the shape you should not say any like ouch aw or anything like that you should be as quiet as possible

Egyptian: mm mm uh huh

Egyptian: even if you want to scream so loud you you're not allowed to if you scream they they will kick you away or they will kill you because they're criminals and murderers

Egyptian: and that seems like a test that i'd definitely fail

Egyptian: <laugh> yeah yeah of course like oh my god i can't even imagine and yeah now now here comes the protagonist my favorite character he enters this test and i wanted to know how would he act this brilliant mind so he was negotiating not to take the test but okay he said like okay it's just a stupid test <no-speech>

Egyptian: i think that you're muted

Egyptian: oh i was muted so

Egyptian: yeah

Egyptian: what was the last thing you heard

Egyptian: uh when he was going to enter the test that it was uh just some easy or stupid test

Egyptian: yeah and then they they thought he he was afraid from from doing the test then he said okay then i will do it and they started uh heating up the metal

Egyptian: mm hmm

Egyptian: and then uh they put it on to the skin on the shoulder h his skin and then he did absolutely no reaction he did not even blink

Egyptian: tough guy

Egyptian: <laugh> yeah he stood still like no not not even a blink that was amazing like everybody was shocked like oh my god it was astonishing and that's why i was like i'm so thrilled and i was into this character like look at how tough he is like any man of us like aspires to be a tough person and a tough man because that's what what's expected from men at the end of the day to be tough the the community expects this of us

Egyptian: mm hmm

Egyptian: eh so yeah <laugh> and that was that was the eh the toughness and the thing that was real really like uh very aspiring yeah that was <overlap>

Egyptian: yeah

Egyptian: i really love that so yeah

Egyptian: and

Egyptian: and that's one book uh should i go move into okay you move uh you talk about your book then we move into the the other section of the uh question

Egyptian: yeah sure so um my favorite book was um an arabic book it's called um diamond dust and um

Egyptian: that's a nice name

Egyptian: <laugh> yes

Egyptian: cool

Egyptian: it's a book that talks about uh well first of all it's just a a doctor and his uh father living alone and his uh father is paralyzed so he has to

Egyptian: oh

Egyptian: uh the son has to take care of his father all of the time

Egyptian: mm hmm

Egyptian: um however one day he returns to find that his father uh was uh murdered and then you know he he goes through and investigates finds out that his uh father had a past history and he used what they would call diamond dust to uh like assassinate uh people who had you know

Egyptian: wow

Egyptian: bad past or so

Egyptian: mm hmm

Egyptian: and then he decides to investigate um who killed his father uh why he did it um he meets this officer who starts directing him at a um like a famous character a rich character um in the country telling him that this is the one that murdered him due to uh some reasons um he he keeps like investigating it's it you know it it keeps you um interested all the time like attached to it you want to get to know what's going to happen moving forward and so on um

Egyptian: yeah i can tell like even imagining like i'm i'm trying to imagine since you said dust of diamonds i'm trying to imagine what does like such dust look like

Egyptian: yeah <laugh> i mean i i i don't think that that thing actually exists or it doesn't do what they say it it did to people

Egyptian: maybe but the the the idea itself is so catching

Egyptian: yes exactly and actually what i liked the most about the book is that at the end um the it's like a shock that he finds out that the one who murdered his father is actually the officer that he met

Egyptian: oh

Egyptian: um yeah because his father uh saw the officer dealing in drugs and so on and uh yes so the son took on and continued his father's path and assassinated the officer as well

Egyptian: wow that's so cool actually and surpri what a surprise as well and

Egyptian: yeah

Egyptian: i love the idea like the notion of following the uh the father's path or the and heritage and like the legacy i i i like those kinds of notions because at the end of the day we're part of the past we're part of a legacy we're part of something like we did not just exist into the world like we we haven't been thrown from nowhere here to the universe even if you feel like that you will be you will feel like in general a bit weak because your

Egyptian: mm hmm

Egyptian: legacy or your past you use that a lot in doing a lot of things like it gives you a source of power a source of knowledge about yourself if you're like if you if if it's as superficial as someone who has nothing to know about or who's like has no more or like uh he's brain washed or something like that he doesn't know anything about the past like

Egyptian: mm

Egyptian: i i don't know he doesn't have something to uh connect to or maybe if we if he found if he or she found something to uh find something to connect to it's uh it will be like a bit uh weaker

Egyptian: yeah

Egyptian: connection than a connection that comes from the very past like

Egyptian: hmm

Egyptian: uh if you have a big an ancient family for example and you you're a descendant of this ancient family you know like you've got power you've got like

Egyptian: <laugh> yes

Egyptian: history and yeah because life doesn't go like uh for forth and like to the back and forth life is go going going one way so

Egyptian: yes definitely

Egyptian: things that complete others yeah exactly

Egyptian: and actually i mean i liked a lot the idea that um that i mean you perceive an image of someone but no matter how close that person is to you you'd never know everything about them like he had this idea of his his father that um is like this very kind person who would never hurt someone and he's actually paralyzed too so he wouldn't be able to

Egyptian: yeah

Egyptian: but then he finds out that his father was assassinating people by putting diamond dust in their drinks so you know

Egyptian: in their dreams

Egyptian: in their drinks

Egyptian: wow fascinating

Egyptian: yeah so i mean that it it's something to think about

Egyptian: of course yeah i love those kinds of stories so yeah let's go to the others tv show

Egyptian: yeah so you go ahead first

Egyptian: oh okay no worries i would love to go first about this one because my favorite show is one that is everybody's favorite show as well and i don't believe otherwise if someone said any other show was better than this one i would never believe that because we all know that breaking bad is the best of all time <laugh>

Egyptian: <laugh> yeah i mean i i see people talking a lot about it but honestly i haven't watched breaking bad yet

Egyptian: oh my god how are you still living

Egyptian: yeah i know i know

Egyptian: you're missing a lot you're you're you're not missing like i don't even know if you're worthy to watch the show anymore

Egyptian: <laugh>

Egyptian: like you missed the biggest opportunity in this life

Egyptian: i mean i i have it on my to watch list i'm going to watch it eventually however i mean i haven't done that yet

Egyptian: yeah the the question is does does the show have you on the list of worthy people who can you know who can actually watch them i do not know man i really don't know but yeah the (()) dealer was talking uh about uh i'm not gonna um point it out like or any spoiler i'm not gonna spoil anything for you but i'm gonna

Egyptian: yeah

Egyptian: speak about the general uh

Egyptian: idea of the show yeah

Egyptian: yeah the general idea of the show which is like it it appears on um uh a trailer or something so it's not a big deal

Egyptian: yes

Egyptian: uh to to to be aware of uh it starts with a chemistry tutor or a chemistry teacher high school teacher who who develops cancer and a very good chemistry teacher uh or who used to be he wanted to do a phd and be a very uh like one of the uh doctors but the circumstance the the odds were not on uh on his favor so

Egyptian: yeah

Egyptian: yeah he just uh was so uh depressed about the cancer and what he's gonna do about his life his life ending is ending soon and he's got a family and stuff but then he actually decides to do drugs but not do drugs he wanted to make drugs being

Egyptian: uh huh

Egyptian: one of the best chemi chemists in the on the whole world that he did the best drugs ever and it was a a substance called methamphetamine or meth and he started doing this meth and actually i don't know if i can go any further i don't wanna spoil that piece of art the masterpiece or anything i don't wanna spoil it in any how so yeah i will just uh have that i i will say that that's enough for you and uh it's not i i haven't been saying it in a thrilling way i i think you should watch the trailer

Egyptian: yeah it actually sounds interesting

Egyptian: yeah but i think you should watch the trailer as well but anyway they

Egyptian: yeah

Egyptian: either of the trailer or any uh any like idea is it won't hurt one percent of the um the actual tv show so you should actually watch the tv show to know what's in it like to know what is this

Egyptian: yeah how cool it is yeah

Egyptian: yeah because this is it's not a movie it's something like a a bit longer so you need to like live with the the the characters and see what's going to happen

Egyptian: yes definitely

Egyptian: oh a cartoon as well

Egyptian: um yeah you can go ahead

Egyptian: no you go ahead first

Egyptian: okay so um for the tv show i guess my favorite would be friends

Egyptian: mm hmm

Egyptian: uh i mean i've had so many memories with this show um i like it very much because it you know it gives you these vibes you know it i i mean it boosts your mood

Egyptian: it's comedy isn't it

Egyptian: yes it is it talks about i mean it's about a a group of friends um and you know the drama sometimes the drama between them and most of the time the comedy you have this character um which is called chandler he's like the sarcastic guy in the group

Egyptian: yeah

Egyptian: and uh there's joey uh who is not very smart <laugh> but he

Egyptian: mm hmm

Egyptian: is good with the girls he has his way

Egyptian: <laugh> yeah that's the guy

Egyptian: yeah and uh then there is ross who's like the nerd of that group uh who has a phd in paleontology and

Egyptian: what's that

Egyptian: <laugh> it's uh he studies like the um what does is it called like the fossils of dinosaurs and so on

Egyptian: uh huh i see yeah

Egyptian: and um these are the three guys there's also three girls the first one is monica who's like obsessed with cleaning she

Egyptian: mm hmm

Egyptian: needs everything to be sparkling

Egyptian: <laugh>

Egyptian: and <laugh> yeah and there's uh phoebe who is like you know at first you'd think like how can a person be uh i don't know like this spontaneous uh but she's actually my favorite character of them all she's very spontaneous fun um you'd feel like she's one of your friends somehow

Egyptian: really

Egyptian: actually all of them would i mean a after ten seasons you create a connection with them yeah i love that show

Egyptian: of course yeah because the atmosphere the bond even with a show like especially with like fun people like that yeah it'd absolutely feel like that

Egyptian: yes exactly and um the last one is rachel who is like this um sassy girl who comes from a rich family

Egyptian: <laugh> yeah

Egyptian: and yeah she's like crying most of the time if anything even small happens um yeah and then it's mostly about how they deal with each other and other people and yeah it's very fun to watch you're going to enjoy it if you haven't watched it

Egyptian: yeah actually i had like a i had an idea that or a like a an impression that was telling me don't watch this because i see i saw the parts of it or like a quick lapse and it wasn't that fun so

Egyptian: mm hmm

Egyptian: i don't think they're like funny as they appear to be but no maybe because i i watch very little to be to be able to judge or know what's going on i think if i started like the show from the beginning it could be a lot a lot different um

Egyptian: yes uh to be honest the first season is not that great i mean you will have some parts where you'll laugh but moving forward um it will be funny

Egyptian: yeah

Egyptian: you're going to enjoy

Egyptian: well the best uh the best thing that i actually love about the comedy uh things uh that usually the main characters they don't die <laugh>

Egyptian: <laugh> yeah

Egyptian: you get to live with them and have a happily peaceful life which is the thing that we deserve but uh actually like sometimes you you just wanna i don't know well emotional people they will just wanna cry and <laugh>

Egyptian: <laugh>

Egyptian: and get them to uh feel miserable just like me for for absolutely no reason like if you ask me why would you do this i i just don't know but i it's like we we somehow like or love the feelings of sadness and the feelings of these dark feelings we we love it somehow or we enjoy it somehow i i

Egyptian: mm hmm

Egyptian: i used to um i think uh dostoevsky the the uh russian writer used to describe s such enjoyment of a thing that aren't that the thing that we're supposed to enjoy but yeah even though we're sad we enjoy the experience which is weird like how how's someone sad and they enjoy this the the experience at the same time <laugh> yeah it's it's kinda like contradictory to each other but yeah it it's there is an like some sort of slight enjoyment that you get the beginning or at the ending or maybe um i don't know now like when you feel sadness you get to feel happiness afterwards so maybe this transition transition that gives us these hormones or feelings

Egyptian: yeah (())

Egyptian: tha that's that's a good topic to think about isn't it like philosophical

Egyptian: <laugh> yeah

Egyptian: thing sort of thing about why do some people yeah i would love to apply for a degree in psychology and <laugh> (()) yeah
