We’re Not Kidding with Mehdi & Friends

We’re Not Kidding is a show where funny people talk about serious things, hosted by Zeteo founder and CEO Mehdi Hasan and regularly featuring internationally acclaimed comedian Bassem Youssef. Each episode, Mehdi is joined by a renowned guest host for a sometimes lighthearted, sometimes vulnerable conversation about topics they can't discuss anywhere else.

    🤮Mehdi Hasan loves Isis-hamass 🤮
    You don’t need to listen to Mehdi Hasan to know that he is an anti-Western, antisemitic journalist and a staunch supporter of Hamas and Hezbollah.

    Brilliant
    I don’t know what else there is to say except this is brilliant. One of my favorite podcasts. Zeteo is well worth the subscription. Times are hard for so many of us, financially, so I understand we can’t all pay to listen. But if I could only choose one thing to subscribe to: Zeteo.

    Refreshing
    It’s refreshing to see someone make a show perspective a majority of people are thinking but is never discussed.

    Great except for pay wall
    I was a subscriber but lost my job. Kind of hard to ignore main stream media when I’m stuck by a pay wall for the good stuff

    WOULD BE great
    Why have the most recent episodes been cutting off abruptly at 10-15 min?? I wanna hear the whole show…
  • Annaïse
    Great show, but…
    Bassem, please stop interrupting! It makes the conversation hard to follow and kinda tense. The other folks on the show can barely finish a thought!

    With Mehdi as the host what’s not to love?
    I already knew I would love this show with Misha Euceph as the producer and Medhi Hassan as the host, but their first episode with Bassem Youssef was so funny, poignant, and exactly the conversation needed in today’s world. Looking forward to future episodes!

    New fave
    This is already one of my new favorite podcasts. I strongly recommend it to all smart people. It’s deep thought and important issues with lots of humanity and good humor.
  • Charlie_live

    Amazing show with tons of information and laughs I’d recommend this to anyone
  • Terrific And Helpful App
    I love this man & his content
    I’ve been a fan of Mehdi’s content for months, since October 7th and I became aware of his show on MSNBC, and he is such a breath of fresh air. Everyone else spews neo-liberal, Biden talking points except Mehdi.

    Best podcast
    Its good to have you here.
  • advanced yet basic errors
    Like the new show
    Loved hearing Sammy Obeid on the podcast! One of my favorite comedians, he really kept me going during the pandemic with his zoom comedy shows, and it was an unexpected surprise to hear him showcased here. Like the format of the new show glad Mehdi is able to still talk about things in a less intense way

    Bassem Cope is amazing and I will watch his piers Morgan interviews. I was shocked to hear you laugh… thanks sharing insight and laughter! Good luck with Zeteo!

    Thoughtful, cogent, heartfelt and human. A mensch-ly podcast!!
    I’ve followed much of Medhi Hassan’s work since being on Aljazeera, The Intercept, and finally Peacock (it’s the reason I actually got a subscription to it, but it seems to have seen better days). I’m very happy to have Mehdi on a podcast and platform that allows his voice and those of his guests to be heard in an unmediated form. In this day and age it’s much needed, please keep at it!

    Staying out of echo chambers.
    I make a concerted effort to listen to many viewpoints to draw my own conclusions. Looking forward to adding ZETEO to my regular listening schedule.

    Love this!
  • Josiej7
    Much Needed
    Corporate news is not going to give you the facts. We need as many truthful places to listen to what is going on and hearing both sides. This is a refreshing new way to hear the truth .
  • bxjadass
    Entertaining and informative!!!
    I loved listening!
  • Tmeikklee
    Thank you and keep up the amazing work
    This is really remarkable podcast to get an insight into what we are not been told by the mainstream press. All the independent voices/ media is been muted for a reason I don’t understand and I’m in search of answers, looking for alternative of the truth.
  • Pouneh Tag
    We need this right now more than ever!
    Mehdi is the voice of the people. The people who want justice and peace for all. Must listen to what he says. He’s amazing!
  • Ljawad
    Look forward to more!
    Thoroughly enjoyed this episode and the entire premise of the show. Comedy and global affairs - my favorite things.
  • Matt the Banjo Teacher
