One half of arguably the best duo in modern Pakistani comedy! And OMG the contrast between Murtaza and Mustafa is so layered and brilliant! Loved this one, seriously

[@ihskask]

Men like these give hope to humanity! Enjoyed this conversation so much.

[@maleehamengal]

OMG !! thank you for inviting him ! loved this !

[@Serious9185]

I’m bingeing this episode after Khalid Malik one . I watched that one twice. Thank you Shahzad. You are churning out awesome content .

[@alifaeez]

When I left Pakistan in 2019, it was only T2F which was doing something like that. I used to go there to listen to some like minded people in different events. I craved for discussions like these and was always very deperate for these type of platforms. I just want to thank you Shehzad for doing this phenomenal work. I grew up seeing and listening to people like Murtaza, Mustafa and Khalid Malik and now when I listen to these people this gives me nostalgia, I could recall so many things which I had forgotten, the shows, songs and incidents when I lived in Karachi. I amd in Canada now and I listen to your podcats in gym, while dishes and having food. I enjoy them specially who have helped me in shaping my thoughts like Ali gul pir, NFP etc. The content they made had helped me in challenging my own thoughts and beleifs and broke all chains which would have been with me if these guys were not there. Its amazing to listen to all of these guys now this way. Keep it up.

[@Azeemich]

I saw one of their episodes in the form of short movie. Where he was inside a building and there was media coverage outside. I cannot remember the exact story of the show but i remember the direction and quality of production was Hollywood level. I tried finding that episode but could not. Superb show that was #BNN.

[@baharal6171]

What is the name of the French Movie mentioned by Mr Murtaza Chaudhary

[@bittu209_]

Spotify par sunn sakte hai yeh podcast shehzad Bhai ??

[@wqr494]

I used to be the guy who says in air plane that i want the seat farthest from child hold etc, i would sit in the back to avoid children, but i became parent and I am also a traveller so now i cant do loong trips I try to take children with me everywhere. so yes i give you benefit of not knowing the feeling how it feels to be a father a protector and provider of your family. Any moment you enjoy alone doesnt feel worth it, you take them along even if they are pain in @ss. and the thing about i will produce another one in 5 years that cant happen bro if you as a father or husband given a chance to die and let you family live you would take that offer in a heartbeat just like a muscle memory.

[@iqbalkarim7107]

1:43:11 onward is what neather Nadeem F Paracha disclosed nether anyone. This man has courage to make it clear. A bold clear and precise statement. Why I should die for a state who doesn't love me? Love is thematic phrase, it include all those things that state has to provide me. Seen your five whole podcast except few which I don't think is related to what is out of common. Even lesson the podcast sort of thing with Mr. Ishtaq shab a profound writer. But one thing that i suggest as follower is. With all those writers and thinkers be precise to some history that are more factual than just gossip. Such as how Balochistan was purchased. Who think it will be crutial part of Pakistan and now why it is bouncing back to Pakistan. Such as why do Musharaf was not dead as of there was clear resistance in army, similar to Zia era where next line of army got frustrated an tackle the bullshit out.

[@saquibali3246]

Well, on a somber note, the issue is not that u criticize IK for his evil doings but the matter is that u only criticize IK as the left ones are all innocents, and their stories of nepotism, favoritism and some kind of personal gains from the public sector are just stories of Ali Lela and nothing else You ought to discuss all the breed of public office holder without any discrimination. Yes critics are in need of society but sometimes your participants and even u show complete ignorance on some social topics which is not plausible
