The Drawing Room Experts
If actual drawing room conversations were recorded, the result wouldn’t be too far off from what we deliver through this podcast. Join the ”drawingroomers” as they discuss everything under the sun and provide an honest opinion as Pakistani expats living in North America, the likes of which is hardly heard in the current podcast/media space.

Episode 135: Indecision 2024 | A look into the US elections
Thursday Sep 05, 2024
Thursday Sep 05, 2024
Zaib & Sarosh talk about the impending US Elections in November which bring an array of topics up for discussion before the voters decide who the next President of the United States will be.
The guys talk about the Trump attack that kickstarted an interesting few weeks which ended (somewhat) with Joe Biden deciding not to run for reelection and opening the floor up for a Harris-Walz ticket for the democratic party. The episode also discusses the moral/ethical dilemma for voters who want to vote blue, red (or not at all).

Episode 133: Sports teams and fans
Wednesday Jun 19, 2024
Wednesday Jun 19, 2024
Zaib tries and unpack the psychological contract between Sports teams (in this instance the Pakistan Cricket team) and their 'fans'.
Do the sports team owe their fans? How deep is that contract between the two? Is this really JUST a sport? Are fans/supporters of the Pakistan Cricket Team even owed anything from the team? Why do fans go around feeling painful or embarrassed every time their team loses to an arch-nemesis?

Episode 132: The Challenger Brand
Sunday May 26, 2024
Sunday May 26, 2024
Zaib draws a comparison between two really interesting and different challenger brands All Elite Wrestling (AEW) & Pakistan Tehreek Insaaf (PTI) under the leadership of their dominant bosses Tony & Imran Khan.
Zaib argues that having a challenger brand comes with its responsibilities and the brand has to walk a really tightrope when it comes to maintaining and sustaining a challenge. Why? Because when the incumbent can afford a misstep, the challenger cannot as their missteps only make the status quo more powerful and credible

Episode 131: Jurgen Klopp | Certified Legend!
Monday May 20, 2024
Monday May 20, 2024
Zaib comes back to the podcast to talk through (and about) Jurgen Klopp’s reign as Liverpool FC Manager. He goes season by season to provide a glimpse into the transformation Liverpool as a club went under his leadership.
Additionally, and more importantly, Zaib tackles the questions around whether Jurgen is a certified legend in the Premier League or not.
I think we all know which way Zaib leaned towards…

Episode 130: Pakistan Wakes Up!
Monday Feb 12, 2024
Monday Feb 12, 2024
Zaib, Sahir & Farrukh get together to try and shed some light on a pretty historic moment in Pakistan's political history in which a political party (#pti) that was largely sidelined through unprecedented measures utilized cliche mottos & technology to stage a fightback that would give most 'underdog stories' stiff competition!
The guys also share the gravity of this story in #Pakistan history and how it presents several real-life lessons to be learned.
Who doesn't love a great underdog story?!

Episode 129: Definition of success ft. Jurgen Klopp
Sunday Feb 04, 2024
Sunday Feb 04, 2024
Reeling from the shockwaves that were sent through the football world last week when #jurgenklopp announced he's leaving #liverpool at the end of the season, Zaib is back with the podcast to talk about the definition of success!
Why is it that a man who has won 1 Premier League title, 1 Champions League, 1 FA Cup, and an EFL trophy is being spoken of in the same breath as the likes of multiple winners Pep or Sir Alex? Why is the departure of this man so desperately hard on the fans? Why are pundits, writers, and journalists speaking so highly of this man? As a typical cursory fan would say, "What has he done?" Are titles the true barometer of success? Anything but is failure? I think for far too long fans and supporters in general, have been led to believe that subconsciously without question.
In this episode, Zaib offers a perspective!

Episode 128: January 6th v. May 9th
Sunday Jan 07, 2024
Sunday Jan 07, 2024
This weekend marked the 4th anniversary of the events that transpired at the Capitol Hill in Washington DC on January 6th, 2020.
Last year, on May 9th, wide protests broke out in Pakistan at the arrest of former Prime Minister #imrankhan which resulted in several state-owned properties (predominantly managed by the armed forces) being damaged, attacked, and hounded by protestors.
Having seen several "experts" & "analysts" over the socials carrying out lazy parallels between the two largely unrelated events, and calling for an increase in political targeting & victimization of #pti, Zaib returns to address a topic that he has tried to avoid for over a year or so.
In addition to trying to analyze the two incidents and highlighting the nuance & context behind the two events (two key & emphasized words from the episode), Zaib also tries an explain the reason behind his lack of engagement on this particular topic.
Happy 2024, ya'll!

Sunday Dec 31, 2023
Very rarely has the Full Quorum of "experts" gathered to talk about a subject they're, perhaps, equally good and extremely well versed in!
Zaib, Zain, Navaid, and Sahir gather to talk about one of their favorite movies and a cult classic in "Andaz Apna Apna"!
A special episode that dives into the 1994 film that completes it's 30 years in 2024 so what better way to kick off the New Year!
All share their memories associated with the movie, memes that are commonly used, and the sheer brilliance and shithousery that is continues to make the movie an absolute legend in the #bollywood movie buff circles!
Enjoy as the Drawing Room Experts reel in the New Year with a hilarious discussion

Episode 126: Let’s talk about The Levant! Pt.2
Sunday Dec 24, 2023
Sunday Dec 24, 2023
Back with the 2nd Part to dive into the (more) difficult conversation around the happenings in and around the #israelpalestineconflict
This is the part that mainly concerns and comes from the perspective of Muslims that doesn't happen much (unfortunately). Zaib & Sarosh dive into the ethical, moral, and philosophical stance on the conflict, engagement of war, and whether we are aligned with the ultimate truth from an Islamic perspective.
The conflict has turned into a "team sport" where we must "support the team" and try not to be the downer that raises some "good points for the opposition" and in the process completely escape and abandon the truth!
Must listen for anyone not willing or looking to have a difficult conversation about an arguably not-so-complicated issue.
