Hey. So, I noticed in the comments a lot of you guys
were giving Beena major props for handling the camera work.
“Oh, wow. Beena’s a queen. She deserves more props for
doing the camera work and not laughing at your jokes.”
Well, guess what?
I’m handling camera today and it’s really not that–
Shit.
Hey guys. Welcome back to another episode of
Hasan From a Distance.
Now look, even though the world is crazy out there
in the midst of this global pandemic,
you control what’s happening in here
and to your body.
At least that’s what The Rock and Ronaldo have
told me via Instagram. So today, I’m gonna show you guys
my at home fitness tips.
I’m gonna show you everything that I’ve been doing during
quarantine to keep my body tight so that I can fill out these
mediums and be 165 - 168 pounds wet.
Say you’re bringing the groceries inside.
I’m going to take this 36-pack of Gatorade Frost
and take a chore, and turn it into a deadlift.
Not only am I getting household chores done,
but I’m also working my hamstrings.
Maybe you want to get more creative.
You can just do a full one.
That’s enough.
Say you want to do shrugs. That’s not a problem.
Here, check this out.
I have Costco brand detergent over here, alright.
Handle, that works great. Then over here, this is an
Easter egg basket and I put TidePods.
Just grab them by the handles, right over here, and
you can just do shrugs.
(But they’re not the same weight.)
So just take out TidePods.
You can just balance it that way.
Shit.
How do I open? How do I open it?
(It’s a child lock.)
You can even do curls.
Just take an umbrella,
and fill it up with weight.
In this case, bottled water.
Start curling.
And the great thing is, once you’re done,
you can drink the water.
Okay, you want to work shoulders. Here’s what I do.
Take this organic bone broth
and just start doing shoulder presses.
Maybe your right arm is stronger than your left.
No worries.
Over here, I have an 18-pack of whole milk
and then I can just do this.
You want to do both at the same time, get creative.
- (Don’t hurt yourself.) - Okay, I’m not going to.
Ok– Okay.
We’re fine.
You want those boulder shoulders like Dwight Howard?
Here’s what you gotta do.
You can just take something simple like my daughter’s stroller
over here. Babe, I’m gonna borrow the stroller real quick.
Alright.
Come with me over here.
You want to add weight to it– so, I’m gonna take this
- white baby. - I love you.
Yep.
Put it here. Right.
And then you can just do
a side shoulder raise like this.
Right. You can also do a front shoulder raise like this.
And,
- shoulders. - (Ta ta!)
Legs. They’re a foundational part of your body.
That’s why you want to do squats as much as you possibly can.
Sure, you can use your own weight and just bang it out.
Or, you can take a small child–
right.
I’ll take my 2-year-old daughter–
she’s anywhere between twenty and thirty pounds–
put her over your shoulders, WWE style.
Don’t put ‘em through the table. Just like this.
If they’re good and they’re still that’s really great.
See how she’s stable right now?
And then, I can just bang it out.
See that?
Now if they start,
you know, squirming around,
screaming, crying,
saying “Daddy, daddy put me down”, that’s actually better
because what that’ll force you to do is kinda stabilize.
Also, right after the squat, what I could do is just
keep her vertical like this
and go right into a lunge.
Look at that.
So I’m just working on the left leg right now.
Try to do ten reps, then switch it.
Cool?
Is that cool?
You dizzy?
Okay.
Alright, guys. I am joined by a very special guest today:
Beena’s mom, my mother-in-law, AKA Mom.
Hello.
Hi Mom. So,
while we’ve all been, you know, doing our quarantine thing,
Mom decided in her spare time to make masks for
folks on the front line. So, Mom, what inspired you to do this
in your spare time.
Actually with coronavirus, we understand that there’s a
shortage of the facial masks. So Beena was proposing that,
“Mom, you know sewing, so why don’t we try to do this?”
and I said, “Yes, good idea.”
Okay, so where did you learn to be so resourceful and creative, ‘cause
I don’t have that.
No, no, but I learned from my mom actually. My mom was very
creative and she taught us sewing and all the housework, everything.
And then I took the home science in the school, in college. We also
learned sewing, knitting, cooking, cleaning…
Wait, wait, but Mom, I thought you were a software engineer.
I became software engineer after coming to USA.
Nice.
I just did Poli Sci.
Mom, what are we gonna do with the masks once we’re done?
We just hand it out to everybody in the front line who
needs protection.
That’s great. All right, Mom, why don’t you show me the process.
Let’s do it.
Here I have a cotton cloth.
It can be any color, shape, size, print.
And then I also have some plain material, which is also cotton.
And I prefer cotton because you want it to be soft and breathable
material.
And then we need elastic for making it an ear loop.
And then we need thread for sewing.
Sewing machine. But if you don’t have a sewing machine,
you can do it by hand too because there’s not too much
sewing involved.
And then we just have scissors, and a ruler, and pins, and an iron
just to do some prep before we start sewing.
(Okay.)
(And what are the AirPods for?)
Yeah, so this is a finished product and this is– I made it multiple
different sizes. So we have small, medium, large,
and different colors. This one is medium-sized,
so I’m gonna show you.
(Okay.)
Put it on, and then you stretch it to cover fully.
(Nice. Mom, did you do the Christmas theme on purpose?)
No, this is the only material
- I can find online. - (Okay)
Also, this mask has a pocket for filters so you can always add
a filter in here to be even extra protective. So you can add filter–
- (Oh, great.) - inside and
- that will give you more protection. - (Great.)
- (Thanks, Mom.) - You’re welcome.
Okay, so, Mom was up all night, she finished the masks.
I shaved, I look twelve, so I’m gonna head to the post office
to drop them off. If you want to make homemade masks,
you can donate them to organizations like Mask Match,
and you should follow the CDC guidelines which we have put
in the description below. Please do everything you can
to help, we’re doing what we can to help, and it was also a really,
really fun activity to do together,
- right? - Yes. Definitely.
Alright. Mom, you’re pretty good on camera.
- Hm? - You’re good on camera.
Oh!
Shhh.
Come on in.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a late night edition of Deep Cuts.
Both of the babies are asleep.
So, let’s knock out these questions before they get up.
Okay, so you’d walk into the Escape Room and there’d be
two doors. On your right, you walk in, immediately you see
Stephen Miller.
If you go to the door on your left, you walk in, immediately you see
Dinesh D'Souza.
The only way you get out of both of those rooms
is if you’re willing to be on hold…
with Navient.
Babe, you already know this one.
I’m talking about
O.G. Shah Rukh
and Kajol.
(Hold on. Unibrow or no unibrow?)
Full uni!
- (Really?) - Full uni!
That’s peak Kajol.
I love the unibrow.
I think it’s sexy.
(I thought we go with Deepika and Ranveer.)
You’re Deepika and I’m– I’m too skinny.
(No, you’re Deepika.)
Then you’re Ranveer? Okay, got it. All right.
I think Matt Powell would be really fun. People don’t know this.
Matt Powell, the sneaker expert from our “Supreme” episode,
was really, really, really funny. Yes, he’s a numbers guy and he’s
a data guy but I think he’d be a fun person to hang out with right
now, especially while we’re living through this public health crisis.
I am a Sacramento Kings fan.
People think that I’m just joking around. I am a
Sacramento Kings fan, #foreverpurple.
Also, I have been fired from every single job I’ve ever had. I was not
built for corporate America. And I really do eat cereal that way.
Yes.
Come on. We can’t die on that hill.
Look, there’s a big divide in the Desi community between veg and
non-veg. And we just gotta cut it out. Both–
Both ways of life are acceptable and both cuisines bring something
to the table.
So, yes, it counts.
You guys are the ones that make fun of me ’cause of the
hand gestures, so you gotta call it. Guys, in the comments,
do you like the hand gestures, or do you not like the hand gestures?
Either way, I don’t care. I’m bringing them back when
the show comes back.
I want to get called down at an NBA game and sink one of those
half court shots.
You know when they bring someone down and they’re like,
“Brian is gonna shoot for a Toyota Rav 4,” and they just chuck a
half court shot? I want to make one of those shots.
And drive home a Toyota Rav 4.
Yes, my wife’s amazing and she’s an incredible camerawoman.
(And?)
And she’s the love of my life.
(Thank you very much.)
What am I supposed to say to that?
What else do I say?
Dude, I’m all over it. I’m doing the NRI Hindi with both the kids.
I’m totally doing the things that all my cousins make fun of me for.
I totally hit baby girl with “Aap kaise hain,”
I do all that stuff. I do my best to speak in Hindi.
Gujarati, that’s on you. Beena, that’s on you. All I know is “Che.”
You guys are really into Che Guevara. You’re into
revolutionaries.
I told you guys this on
not the last epsiode but the episode before that.
I have been trimming the beard.
If I
was not trimming the beard,
I would look like Indian Santa Claus. If you’ve been watching
Puff Daddy’s Instagram Lives, you know how he just looks like
Black Santa? I would look like that.
That’s the last question.
Thanks for your questions.
Thanks guys.
Hello everyone. Najme Minhaj is here.
Hope all is going well with you and your loved ones
and you are having a good time staying home with your family.
We are all going through a very difficult time and making a lot
of sacrifices, and missing on a lot of activities and fun.
One thing I’m missing most is going to Costco and tasting
cheese and cracker samples.
Haven’t been there for the last three weeks.
Believe me, this time will pass and we will come out of this crisis,
hopefully soon, much stronger and better.
In the meantime, stay safe home and continue observing,
social distancing, and other safety rules.
Take care of yourself and your loved ones.
Bye.
