Wesam is back with Episode 339 of Wesam’s World Podcast, and this week he’s joined by return guest, friend, and fellow BJJ practitioner Rizaldy Jr. Wesam and Rizaldy go deep in one of their most meaningful conversations yet—covering creativity, transformation, and healing. Rizaldy shares what it was like to paint a portrait of Wesam (something he rarely does for close friends), what he learned in the process, and how the experience changed his perspective as an artist. They also reflect on Rizaldy’s journey out of a darker past—escaping drugs and a destructive lifestyle—and how art helped him rebuild. The episode ends with a beautiful conversation about creative energy: Do you control the art, or let the art move through you? Are you focused on the tools—or do you let the moment guide you? Vulnerable, honest, and creatively rich—this one’s for the artists, dreamers, and anyone on the path of becoming. ━SOCIALS━ Wesam’s World: Instagram ► http://instagram.com/WesamsWorld Twitter ► https://twitter.com/Wesams_World Facebook ► https://www.facebook.com/Wesamsworld TikTok ► https://www.tiktok.com/@wesamsworld Wesam: Instagram ► https://instagram.com/wesamkeesh Twitter ► https://twitter.com/wesamkeesh Rizaldy Jr.: Instagram ► https://instagram.com/rizaldy.jr HASHTAGS: #WesamsWorld #Podcast #WesamKeesh #RizaldyJr #ArtistInterview #PaintingAFriend #BJJLife #DeepConversation #OvercomingAddiction #CreativeProcess #ArtAndHealing #LettingArtMoveYou #EmotionalArt #Vulnerability #FriendshipAndArt #BehindTheScenes

It’s a reunion full of laughs, chaos, and a few questionable revelations. They revisit the “good old days,” unpack Peyton’s many betrayals, discuss lovers, secrets, and very secret addictions, and somehow still manage to talk about movie and game trailers along the way. It’s the perfect mix of friendship, storytelling, and total nonsense — the kind of episode that feels like hanging out with your favorite dysfunctional trio. ━SOCIALS━ Wesam’s World: Instagram ► http://instagram.com/WesamsWorld Twitter ► https://twitter.com/Wesams_World Facebook ► https://www.facebook.com/Wesamsworld TikTok ► https://www.tiktok.com/@wesamsworld Wesam: Instagram ► https://instagram.com/wesamkeesh Twitter ► https://twitter.com/wesamkeesh Alex: Instagram ► https://instagram.com/alexzandragorski TAGS: Wesams World, Podcast, Wesam Keesh, Alex Gorski, Peyton, Podcast Reunion, Idobi Radio, Movie Trailers, Game Trailers, Friendship, Secrets, Comedy Podcast, Storytime, Nostalgia, Funny Moments HASHTAGS: #WesamsWorld #Podcast #WesamKeesh #AlexGorski #Peyton #PodcastReunion #IdobiRadio #MovieTrailers #GameTrailers #Friendship #ComedyPodcast #Storytime #Secrets #FunnyMoments

    #349 Love Is Blind… And So Is Common Sense

    It’s just Wesam and Alex in the studio this week… with Tucker the pup stealing the spotlight as always. 🐾 Alex kicks off a brand-new segment called Trailer Trials, where she brings in movie trailers for Wesam to break down from an actor’s perspective—digging into whether they work, why they connect (or don’t), and what makes a trailer stand out. Along the way, they dive into some of the week’s biggest industry stories. Wesam and Alex unpack the rumors about Sydney Sweeney possibly signing onto a $45 million Bollywood role, the speculation around Netflix looking to buy Warner Bros., and the growing conversation about reality TV after a Love Is Blind contestant filed a lawsuit over working conditions—a story that sends Wesam off on a rant about why “love” reality shows are terrible. And of course, no episode is complete without a pause to admire how ridiculously cute Tucker is. ━SOCIALS━ Wesam’s World: Instagram ► http://instagram.com/WesamsWorld Twitter ► https://twitter.com/Wesams_World Facebook ► https://www.facebook.com/Wesamsworld TikTok ► https://www.tiktok.com/@wesamsworld Wesam: Instagram ► https://instagram.com/wesamkeesh Twitter ► https://twitter.com/wesamkeesh Alex: Instagram ► https://instagram.com/alexzandragorski HASHTAGS: #WesamsWorld #Podcast #WesamKeesh #AlexGorski #TrailerTrials #SydneySweeney #BollywoodNews #Netflix #WarnerBros #LoveIsBlind #RealityTVRant #HollywoodNews #EntertainmentTalk

    #346 The One Man Blueprint— Guest: Jamar Gilbert

    Wesam sits down with actor, writer, and teacher Jamar Gilbert for a deep dive into building your own work from the ground up. They unpack the creation of Jamar’s one-man show Black and Blue—where the idea came from, how it developed, and a practical roadmap for anyone who wants to make their own piece. They also talk about why teaching acting can sharpen your craft even more than taking classes, and how stepping into the mentor role levels up your instincts, discipline, and taste. To round things out, they hit industry news: reports of hidden tunnels discovered in Los Angeles and HBO’s crackdown on password sharing—what it means for audiences, creators, and the business side of storytelling. 🎭 See Jamar’s one-man show: Black and Blue The Uneraseable Fest — Los Angeles Saturday, Sept 13, 2025 & Friday, Sept 26, 2025 More info: https://www.theuneraseablefest.com Jamar’s Socials: Instagram ► https://instagram.com/jamargilbert ━SOCIALS━ Wesam’s World: Instagram ► http://instagram.com/WesamsWorld Twitter ► https://twitter.com/Wesams_World Facebook ► https://www.facebook.com/Wesamsworld TikTok ► https://www.tiktok.com/@wesamsworld Wesam: Instagram ► https://instagram.com/wesamkeesh Twitter ► https://twitter.com/wesamkeesh HASHTAGS: #WesamsWorld #Podcast #WesamKeesh #JamarGilbert #BlackAndBlue #TheUneraseableFest #OneManShow #SoloPerformance #CreateYourOwnWork #ActingProcess #TeachingActing #CraftAndDiscipline #IndustryNews #LosAngelesTunnels #HBOPasswordSharing #EntertainmentBusiness #ActorLife #Theatre #StoryDevelopment
