Each week, an immigrant of the United States shares their American origin story. THEY TRIED TO BURY US is a weekly podcast hosted by Egyptian-born comedian Tamer Kattan and his mother Kity. Being the son of a Muslim father and a Jewish mother left Tamer struggling with notions of identity. It’s that exact struggle that Tamer and his mom dive into as they sit down with guests to hear about their American origin stories. “They tried to bury us, they didn’t know we were seeds” is a Mexican saying an elderly neighbor shared with Tamer to encourage him to never, ever give up. You’ll laugh at the light-hearted stories that shine a light on Halloween and other terrifying holidays for immigrants, other times you’ll cry at the love, courage and hope it takes to leave everything you know behind, just for the opportunity to pursue happiness. The goal of the show is to remind us all that the only “us and them” is US vs. the hate, greed and corruption of the people in positions of power.

Ep 36: Ireland - Paying for Hugs

jeudi 4 juillet 2019Duration 01:00:16

Tamer and Kity start off season two with a BANG! They had a really cool conversation with hilarious actor, producer and comedian, Emma M Pyne. They dive deep into how differently femininity looks in America Vs. Europe, how lonely it can be to chase your dreams, how complaining about your country is one of the most patriotic things you can do and how much more in touch women are to their intuition than men.

Ep 26: Taiwan - Work hard. Be nice.

jeudi 25 avril 2019Duration 01:00:34

Tamer and Kity welcome One of Tamer’s favorite comedians, Jason Cheny to the podcast. Like Tamer, Jason is also a Winner of the World Series of Comedy and a nationally touring headliner with loads of credits from Fox, Hulu and truTV. We have a great conversation about what it was like for Jason to move to America alone from Taiwan to attend a military academy in Carlsbad, CA. His cross-cultural upbringing super powers his comedy and his worldview which is often optimistic and always very very funny.

Ep 25: Mexico City - Beauty is Distracting

mercredi 17 avril 2019Duration 57:29

Tamer and Kity welcome Alan Angeles to the podcast. Alan is really talented, funny and wise-beyond-his-years, filmmaker, painter and artist who immigrated from Mexico City to Los Angeles with his mom and brothers. Like many, Alan’s family used a Coyote to help them cross the border, but at just 8 years old Alan was separated from his family and kept in a detention center until his father was able to get him out and try again, this time with a special kind of coyote...a beautiful woman.

Ep 24: Sweden - Dreaming Big

mercredi 10 avril 2019Duration 55:36

Tamer and Kity are really excited to welcome Farshid Rafe Rafahi (@rafe_rafahi) to the podcast. Rafe is a really insightful, talented and kind Producer and Talent Manager with possibly, the most international origin story we’ve had on the podcast to date. Rafe was born in Tehran, but moved at just 10 months old to Gothenburg, Sweden (where his mom eventually met the love of her life - world famous Iranian singing star, Ebi) off to Oregon for university, then Los Angeles (where Rafe found the love of HIS life, the soon to be Mrs Rafahi, Grissel) and back to Sweden. This is a conversation packed with wisdom, insights and hilariously funny, but still romantic “how we met” stories.

Ep 23: Iran - Baha’i

mercredi 3 avril 2019Duration 50:14

Tamer and Kity welcome an ex-comedian and comedy show producer turned small-business owner. Patrick’s family immigrated to the United States when he was only three years old. Being the only Iranian in Santa Clarita wasn’t all that bad...until the Iran hostage crisis added death threats and broken windows to their everyday life. Even years later films like, Not Without My Daughter led to mysteriously sudden breakups. Through it all his family kept their amazing sense of humor, hard work and pride.

Ep 22: Italy - Crossing Brooklyn Bridge

mercredi 27 mars 2019Duration 58:28

Tamer and Kity welcome Simone Nobili, a mega-talented creative copywriter who’s worked at some of the best advertising agencies in the world. A fascinating and inspiring story that starts with an 11 year-old boy in Riete, Italy watching a bubble gum commercial that featured a guy on a Harley crossing the Brooklyn Bridge and telling his mom he’d be moving to NYC one day. Simone kept that promise to his 11 year-old self and has since created programs like “the orange vest movement” to rescue immigrants at sea and shelter refugees.

Kity is back! And just in time to have a great conversation with very funny comedian, writer and person Lynn Maleh.

Ep 20: Finland - Grown Ass Man

jeudi 14 mars 2019Duration 58:34

Tamer welcomes one his favorite comedians in the world, Ismo Leikola to the podcast. ISMO started his comedy career in 2002 in his home country of Finland. There, he wrote and starred in 2 seasons of his own sitcom, ISMO. He filmed three Specials from 2008 to 2016, and has sold-out numerous concert halls and theaters across the UK and Finland. One day, when he was chopping branches in the woods listening to the Joe Rogan podcast, he felt that he belonged in the American comedy scene. A few years later he won an International comedy competition at The Laugh Factory in Hollywood, made a ton of contacts and moved to the United States. A short time after that and he became the first Finnish Comedian to perform on Conan. That amazing set from Conan has been viewed over 45 million times.

Ep 19: Mexico - The Audacity to Dream

jeudi 7 mars 2019Duration 01:01:30

It rained again in California so, we miss Kity on this episode of the podcast. Tamer finally convinces and sits down with our very own Paul Antonio Verdugo to share his families American origin story. His grandfather was a business owner who was wrongfully arrested for crimes he did not commit. a year later he had the audacity to run for office. That very audacity to dream big seems to be the trunk of the Castro-Verdugo family tree.
