As an American I never heard the word faff before. I googled the definition and now it is going to be part of my everyday vocabulary.

[@thriveco]

It's a much loved British word 😂 haha

[@rose_clips]

I realised the biggest difference between Taimur and Ali is Taimur is “this is me” whilst Ali is “this is me because it seems this is what people want/successful people do”.

[@advaitnisal4558]

Damn

[@aliabdaal]

Damn

[@TheMarmite09]

Faffing is what Ali and Taimur do in the first 10 minutes of every single Not Overthinking episode.

[@thriveco]

So true!😂 I like seeing a glimpse of their normal everyday conversations before it starts

[@zubairso]

Loved how Taimur took Ali for a ride on the whole name thing 🤣

[@rose_clips]

He’s a good brother. Ali can very easily be like a kite who seems sailing but actually lost if Taimur isn’t there calling him out.

[@Nomoreanons]

Finding an NHS dentist who will take new patients is virtually impossible - at least in the London and S.E. They are all private now at least in part if not whole.

[@AMP_PLUS]

hey ali! how do you feel about calling your company "Ali Abdaal Media Group"? It sounds serious enough as a "real" business but still embodies the personal side of your business that is centered around you/your name. a bit like Linus Media Group, Linus Tech Tips' company

[@Matt-zu2hx]

How come the podcast isn't being uploaded on Google podcasts anymore? Is it a bug or on purpose??

[@siriusblack9088]

How about “Ali Abdaal Media”

[@ericcartman3451]

That's sounds good/better then limited but limited sounds more legit

[@ericcartman3451]

30min pod this is outrages if it's not 2hrs plus I'm finished... !$%#

[@jacobsed6665]

Bald kings

[@ericcartman3451]

Wow

[@69footballgoats]

Ali: team let’s do this
Team: nah I’m too busy, just hire someone else
Ali: no problem
Better solution:
Ali: get this done when you are next free, I can wait a couple of weeks.
