CosmoME babes, it’s about time you met the Coffee Break Channel. To those who are still unfamiliar with It Girls Nathalie Masri and Nadyn Challhoub, you *need* get with the programme.

From comedic witts to cultural commentary, the podcast/YouTube hosts have somehow struck the perfect balance between easy charisma and concrete substance, the Lebanese way (as if that ever took on one form, anyway).

We’re going on a coffee break rn, actually, and you’re so coming with. Scroll below to clock these moments and add it to your saved folder RN.

Nathalie Habibo X Nadyn Nar Khafif

It’s just another day at the office if you see the pair dressed up in wigs. It’s part of the, how do we say it? Je ne sais quoi (Oolala, chocolat, chocolat 🍫). Wigs = alter egos. Alter egos = peak Nathalie x Nadyn chemistry. You following, diva? In this episode, Habibo is a cutout relationship coach sampling the millions who’ve made it a living, save for the part where they actually suck at their job! Just fab, no?

What Moms Want For Mother’s Day.

Unironically, how we first came across the dynamic duo, one take Masri and Challhoub know to eat up every time is everything on motherhood (and all the fun bits nobody says out loud with the same #realness). Also, does this mean we’re in our mommy era now? Mamacita? Jokes aside, the comics at heart know just how powerfully resonance can be a connecting bridge, and it’s one they just innately know how to channel.

Min Mnes2al? Min Mne7ke?

One of the COLDEST episodes, in our humble opinion. This one simply hit different. Striking a collab with Laaha.org, the It Girls who have each other know the value of a shoulder to lean on. They also know every diva deserves to have a safe space she can call her own. The result of such goated knowledge? Platforming the right spaces. Having the right conversations and influencing the right movements.

When Your Bestie Is Single, And You Want Her To Mingle.

Think the dating pool’s bad? Try having standards! 😀 In this episode, everyone’s favourite sabaya poked fun at the challenging reality of lucking out on a good catch in today’s sea — the dating apps, the pressure to commit, the (defo even worse) “for what are you willing to settle then?” They’re disgustingly accurate, and their execution hits the nail on the head every time. It’s satirical. It’s conversational. It’s them.

Coffee Break Channel X Karen Wazen

It’s happening, everybody stay calm! What’s the procedure? Now, we know what you may be thinking: their whole charm is based on being organic. To that we say, all’s fair in love and comedy. We won’t even explain, just watch the embed and judge for yourself whether they switch up on us. With the way Wazen fed into their energy, this one quickly became a favourite of CosmoME’s.

Ma Byondahar Fina

If you’re privately thinking it in the comfort of your own mind, Nathalie and Nadyn have probably said it out loud, to an audience of 184K, nonetheless. From tapping into insecurities to understatedly critiquing the performance of status, the duo know how to do it the truly universal, Lebanese way – talteesh. 🎀 This is, of course, while carrying the tone of parody — these are Nathalie and Nadyn, after all.

Dear All Misset

Dear Nathalie and Nadyn, bin7ibkon. In this episode, the comics took on the hypocrisy of beauty pageants, from principle to a lack of inclusivity, despite rising movements celebrating beauty in everyone. “It feels like a promotional event at the expense of a woman walking around in a bikini,” Nadyn clicks away on their typewriter. Dw, she can keep up with typing and teasing at her cohost simultaneously, eno multitasking w heik.

Byblos International Festival Cameo

This one was so fun, diva! Imagine you’re a famous Arab popstar, a genuine icon who shaped an era … you’ve carried an entire generation on your back and are still actively pushing out banger performances, show after show. You’re bound to get tired. We get it, Nancy, leading that kind of life takes its toll, just ask CosmoME 🙄 (Yes, we’ve secretly been Hannah Montana this whole time). What better way than a Coffee Break to catch your breath? 😉
