😂اپیزود ۱۷ سمسون 👈۱۸ ساله‌شی، باید مستقل زندگی کنی؟!

In this episode, Samson talks about one of the biggest cultural differences between Iran and many Western countries: moving out at the age of 18.
In countries like the UK, Canada, and the US, leaving your parents’ house is seen as a natural part of growing up. It doesn’t mean you don’t love your family — it means you are learning independence, responsibility, and how to manage life on your own.
Samson compares this with Iranian culture, where staying with family until marriage is completely normal and often preferred. He explains how economic pressure, cultural values, and ideas about safety and respect shape very different lifestyles.
This episode is not about right or wrong — it’s about understanding why people live differently in different cultures.

🎙️ موضوع این قسمت: چرا توی خیلی از کشورهای خارجی، بچه‌ها وقتی ۱۸ سالشون میشه از خونه میرن؟
مگه خانواده‌شون رو دوست ندارن؟
تو این اپیزود، سمسون از تفاوت فرهنگی مهمی بین ایران و کشورهای غربی حرف می‌زنه.
تو فرهنگ غرب، مستقل شدن یعنی بزرگ شدن.
ولی تو ایران، موندن کنار خانواده یعنی امنیت، حمایت و آرامش.
این اپیزود درباره درست یا غلط بودن نیست —
درباره اینه که فرهنگ، اقتصاد و سبک زندگی چطور تصمیم‌های ما رو شکل می‌ده.

😂اپیزود ۱۶ سمسون «ببخشید، کفشامو چرا باید دربیارم؟! منتشر شد👟»

In this episode, Samson talks about a small cultural habit that actually carries a big meaning: taking off your shoes at the door.
In Iran, it’s a sign of respect and cleanliness. The floor is part of the living space — people sit, lie down, pray, and relax on carpets.
In England, shoes are part of your outfit. Keeping them on makes guests feel comfortable and “at home.”
So, taking shoes off = respect in one culture…
Keeping shoes on = respect in another.
Same action, different meaning.

🎙️موضوع این قسمت: «کفش جلوی در، فقط کفش نیست!»
سمسون می‌گه وقتی اومد ایران، یادش رفت کفششو دربیاره و همه تعجب کردن.

🟣 سمسون امروز با شلوارک اومد🏃‍♂️«چرا همه یه‌جوری نگام می‌کنن؟! 🏃‍♂️»

In this episode, Samson talks about three big cultural differences he noticed when trying to keep his daily running routine in Iran:
1️⃣ The streets — In London, sidewalks and paths are perfect for jogging. In many Iranian cities, they’re uneven, narrow, or unsafe.
2️⃣ The clothes — Sportswear in London is part of everyday outfits, but in Iran, wearing full sports clothes in public often gets looks. Parks are the only places it feels “normal.”

Samson explains how culture and city design shape our daily habits. Neither is right or wrong—just different.

🤪آدم تو ایران سرسام میگیره!!!!🟣اپیزود ۱۴ سمسون اومد

In this episode, Samson shares one of his biggest culture shocks in Iran — the sound of daily life.
From loud music at parties and cafés, to the surprising silence of a “Quiet Carriage” in England, he compares two very different ways of living.
In the UK, silence is a form of respect. In Iran, silence can feel strange or even negative.
