Men like Ahmed are the epitome of genuinely safe masculine energy. Sweet, kind, funny, genuine and freely giving of his kind supportive words: not afraid to be sensitive and give/share/be open. Men…take notes.
Honestly everyone on Santagato studios gives that energy. Joe, Frank, Keith, Greg etc they’re all just genuinely guy’s guys but aren’t toxic in the slightest.
men i’m telling you… just be genuine and sweet like ahmed and the ladies will FLOCK. i’m rock solid right now, and it’s purely because this man isn’t being a dick at all.
I LOVE when Ahmed talks about actually serious stuff, he truly is way smarter than some people may think. He is so well articulated and feels so professional in this video. So much love to you all!
ahmed is honestly the sweetest person. When he was talking about greg and how this wouldn't have started without him, he didn't stutter once and you could tell it was genuine
Ahmed is definitely not stupid, if anything he is extremely emotional intelligent. Listening to him talk just proves it even more, one of my favourite people to do this show
I'm an old dude pushing 70 and have been watching for nearly a decade. I've always been impressed that even amidst the zany stuff (that make me SCREAM with laughter!), the jokes, the games and competitions, what comes through and shows through concretely in this conversation - while sweating to death from the hot sauce - is the fact that you're all genuine guys who've become a community for and to each other. You're all obviously very smart and insightful as well as outrageously creative. You give us old geezers hope for the future. Keep being you. And...keep us laughing. Thanks heaps.
I LOVE the way these men are able to be so open and caring. It's so important to show men loving their friends openly and without fear of judgement. ❤❤
Ahmed is a true gem of a human. I can only imagine him giving the absolute most heart felt speech at a wedding. Not a dry eye in sight for how well he speaks from his heart
Ahmed is far from stupid, he is one of the most intelligent men I have ever watched on TH-cam. I can imagine he is even more incredible in person. So genuine
As someone who has been with basement yard for years. I have seen Ahmed before everytime he was on the podcast it was hysterical his stories his comical timing was funny it’s amazing to see him today.
Am I crying at a Santagato Studios video? 😢 !! I aspire to be more like Ahmed❤ Im starting right now to be a better friend to everyone. They really are a great group of people working the dream.
WHY WAS THIS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND GENUINE CONVERSATION ON THIS CHANNEL!??? 😭😭😭 We LOVE YOU AHMED! From the bottom of all of our collective hearts, we love you! ❤️
Ahmed is an angel soul. He’s so kind and loves his friends with his whole being and everyone apart of SS & TBY are so lucky to have him as a friend. And thank you Greg for reciprocating all that Ahmed gives right back to him- people who express their love for others and and are so kind hearted typically never receive what they give, so it was so nice to see the exchange 💙
This is why I love the basement yard/Santagato studios, they’re so real, down to earth and wholesome. You can tell truly. They’re such a great group of guys and the best of friends. I’ve been watching since the beginning and it warms my heart to see how far they’ve come and to Ahmed be brought on full time. They all deserve everything they have and more. I pray that I find genuine friends like them one day. And I think why they’re so funny is because they’re such good guys/friends that the humor is authentic and it always feels like you’re just hanging with your close friend group. Love you Ahmed!
What a wonderful video. You can see the love and respect all of you have for each other. When Ahmed talked to Keith it was obvious he was talking from the heart and not putting on an act. Greg has done an amazing job with Joe in everything they have done together. I wish I could have seen you guys when you were in Austin. I only live 60 miles away, but I couldn't make it. I hear that show was over the top!
I love how whenever Greg complimented Ahmed he’d just turn it around and compliment him back. Like most people continue to talk about themselves especially in an interview about them, but not Ahmed ❤ he literally goes from accepting a compliment about how supportive he is to proving he’s the most supportive person
Man, I was having such an icky day. This turned out to be such a wholesome video and I just adore you all for the positivity. Thanks for doing what you do. Sending y’all much love
Can’t believe Ahmed hasn’t known this whole time how much we like him!! The guys at Santagato Studios have to tell him how we feel if he’s not gonna read it for himself!
Ahmed has always been my favourite on santagato studios and this just made me realize how much I love him and I can’t wait to meet him and the crew on tour in Canada ♥️ thank you all for getting me through so many hard times and being such a comfort to me which you’ll never know but santagato studios, the basement yard, other peoples lives and everything in between has brought me so much happiness and peace! Thank you all and keep up the good work!
Came here for the laughs and was absolutely blown away by the vulnerability of this conversation. Greg, you’re a great interviewer, and thank you Ahmed for such a raw and honest conversation. I feel actually blessed to be able to watch this video and understand you both just a bit more. What a fantastic video!
Must show Ahmed some love. Congratulations on everything. I can't wait to see all the good and positive things coming your way. If only we could all have a friend like Ahmed. Take care, dude.
I love Ahmed so much. If you ask me my favorite santagato studios videos I can easily say they are the ones with Ahmed in it. He has the sweetest soul and he’s so funny any video with him warms my heart and makes my day. I hope he truly knows how much we as fans love him! I hope he reads these comments bc he deserves to hear it
I know the boys probably won't read this, but seeing how kind, supportive, and unabashedly open you all are to each other truly makes me appreciate you. There's not a hint of toxic masculinity, and no one is faking anything-you all are just a loving group of friends trying to make people happy. As someone who has been struggling with depression, your kindness and genuine passion for making people happy have helped me through a lot of tough times. I just want to thank you all for being a positive light in what seems like a dark world.
Ahmed, what a guy. It was very refreshing to hear someone speak so nicely and so genuinely about their life and friends like that. This one was special.
Ahmed you’re amazing! 🎉 I was so lucky to see Ahmed and all the basement boys at the New Haven show. I got to take a picture with Ahmed and talk to him and it honestly made me the happiest! Thank you all for this video, all past and future videos! Keep up the great work and I hope to see another live show soon!!
Ahmed is genuinely a ray of sunshine of a person and I'm always in awe of how deep he cares and the honest maturity he has in his view of the world around him. He really must be a special person to be around, I'm glad he feels just as much loved as he gives love, it makes me happy
This conversation made me unexpectedly emotional ❤ They way that these guys talk to each other is super loving and kind, we need more men expressing like that 👑

No deliever to Spain sadly
Emotional maturity is one of the highest forms of intelligence. Ahmed, you are not dumb
Men like Ahmed are the epitome of genuinely safe masculine energy. Sweet, kind, funny, genuine and freely giving of his kind supportive words: not afraid to be sensitive and give/share/be open. Men…take notes.
I want him to be my husband but also my dad. Complete safe, golden retriever, green flag energy.
Honestly everyone on Santagato studios gives that energy. Joe, Frank, Keith, Greg etc they’re all just genuinely guy’s guys but aren’t toxic in the slightest.
Ahmed truly is a kind soul, you can tell he’s an intelligent fun loving guy who will do anything to see his friends smile
Intelligent 😂
Definitely not the intelligent part (JK btw)
Having this serious, heart-warming conversation with what might be the worst bald cap I've ever seen flapping in the wind makes this perfect.
😂😂😂😂😂
The whole time I'm trying to focus on this wholesome conversation and Greg's bald cap trying to take flight is all I can focus on 😂
I’m simple, I see Ahmed in the title I click
You just know it’s gonna be the most entertaining video
Accurate
Not only that but within hours and 20 minutes?? I clicked so damn fast
agreed
Same😂
His kindness towards Keith made me fall in love with Ahmed. I just want to give him the biggest hug
Which video was that? I must’ve missed it
Same thing as my comment that video was what changed my whole perception about ahmed.
@@gazblackheart4596 which video
which video
Greg giving Ahmed his flowers. I'M NOT CRYING. YOU'RE CRYING. 😭😭
Honestly, the boys got me tearing up over here on a Wednesday afternoon.
got me tearing up 5 minutes in 😢 AND SOBBING 10 MINUTES IN 😭
ahmed needs to know how much we love him he’s so precious omg
I think it is astonishing that joes TH-cam videos from so long ago turned into this whole business employing all his friends. Its so cool
Ikr I remember when Joe was just filming by himself doing skits in his basement with a white bedsheet behind him he has really come so far
The bald cap shaking when Greg talks 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love that they don’t even bother gluing it down 😂
men i’m telling you… just be genuine and sweet like ahmed and the ladies will FLOCK. i’m rock solid right now, and it’s purely because this man isn’t being a dick at all.
You're rock solid? 😂
Dudes got a full hard on right now, and you know what? I get it. Rock on my hard brother
@@tatersoup solid. as. a. rock.
legend@@peachie_bearies
yeah im literally in love with him😂
I LOVE when Ahmed talks about actually serious stuff, he truly is way smarter than some people may think. He is so well articulated and feels so professional in this video. So much love to you all!
Yes ❤ 👏💯

And Ahmed giving Joe and Greg THEIR flowers?! Stop it. I love this sm.
When did this happen?
I love how this video went from an interview to a conversation about love, friends, and giving compliments
We don’t think you’re stupid Ahmed, your tendency to be a little ~lost~ at times is just truly endearing
Ahmed seems like such a genuinely kind person
This was more heartwarming than I thought it would be. Ahmed is a top tier person!
Dude the talk about how you can't love others without loving yourself hit. That's real wisdom right there.
The comments are kind because HE'S kind! It's so obvious from watching the videos that he's a big sweetheart and a great friend
Ahmed seems like such a genuine soul! I like how soft spoken and calm he is
Ahmed is literally the sweetest person. We do not deserve his presence. SO SWEET OMG
“Thank you Greg, I appreciate it, Sean.” 🤣🤣 it should be illegal to be as funny and wholesome as you are Ahmed, I swear. Fantastic episode!!
I can't believe how nice Ahmed is that's honestly so rare to see in a person.
I also love how appreciative his friends are of his friendship :')
I LOVE the way these men are able to be so open and caring. It's so important to show men loving their friends openly and without fear of judgement. ❤❤

As someone who has been with basement yard for years. I have seen Ahmed before everytime he was on the podcast it was hysterical his stories his comical timing was funny it’s amazing to see him today.
I love him. He just embodies kindness and his soul is so beautiful.
Ahmed has been just a golden addition to the crew.

ahmed just doesn’t know how much we love him & love seeing him in the videos. such a wholesome soul 🥺
