sponsor.

Sandeep (06:57):
Um and uh, this is my, my mom's chevd o mix which I'm

It's a, it's a group of states,but if I swear, if you can find

(07:28):
my mom, she will give you somefrom her chevdo.
Though, if you're unfamiliar is, uh, maybe it's called Chevdo
for people.
We call it chevdo.
I don't know if that's theright.
I don't know what's right orwrong about how to say anything,
but that's what we would say,and it's basically like checks
mix with spices.

Omar (07:44):
Yes, it's like hot.

Sandeep (07:45):
It's like a hot mix, but it's sort of my mom's
special brand of that, becauseshe just uses uh uh cereals that
are about to go about to gostale before they do.
Yeah.

Omar (07:57):
That's the way to do it.
That's, that's true.
Yeah, amazing.
Well, thank you to our threesponsors this week.
I think it's time to hop intoour first segment.

Sandeep (08:06):
Yeah, oh, there, it is, there it is Uh we're talking by
that.
What's got us confused thisweek, all right.
So story number one the world'slargest Hindu temple outside of
India Okay In the modern era,okay To be is to be inaugurated
on October 8th in New Jersey.

(08:27):
So that was.
This happened a few days agoand I think it opens up pretty
soon.

Omar (08:32):
This has been like all over the news right.

Sandeep (08:34):
This has been all of the well, yes, it's been all the
news for for lots of reasons,okay, um, and I'm going to get
into that and why we're a littlebit confused about it.
First, what what this is about.
By the way, this is, when I saythe, the world's largest and I
had those qualifiers this isstill the second largest outside
of anchor want, okay, in theworld.

(08:54):
Um, so it is Huge.
This is not like you know.
This is we're talking uh, I, I,I.
Well, I thought I had thenumber, but I don't, but it took
12,500 volunteers to build thisthing.
Oh, yeah.
I see you're on 183 acres ofland.

(09:14):
What's in New Jersey?
What?
Okay, um, it's an.
It's, it's a SwaminaraianAkshidam temple, uh, which, if
you've been to the Akshidamtemples I have been to the
Akshidam temples in Indiathey're, they're wild, yeah,
wild, like they basically took apage out of Disney, like they

(09:34):
went, they went and visitedDisney at one point and they
were like we should make this,but for Hindu temples.
So that's what they there'slike rides.
It's wild, dude.
Um, it includes 10,000 statuesand statuettes, 10,000.
Yeah, one main shrine, 12 subshrines, nine Shakars, which are
the spire like structures, ninepyramidal yeah, pyramidal, sure

(09:56):
, pyramidal pyramidal, okay,shikars.
And, and the largest ellipticaldome of traditional stone
architect architecture everconstructed, yeah, and it's
designed to last a thousandyears.
So this thing is built to lastat.

(10:19):
It's a unbelievable maintenanceplan.
Uh, they're not gonna have torepaint this thing for a
thousand years.
I don't know what that meanswhen someone, something, is
designed to last a thousandyears, but that is you didn't
get that package when you gotyour house.
No, we just resided our ourhouse.
And no, it's not.
It's gonna last seven years, Ibelieve.
It's gonna be open for visitorsstarting up October 18th.

(10:40):
So this is wild.
The temple carvings are notjust of, like, hindu deities
okay, they're of historicalfigures like Martin Luther King
Jr.

Omar (10:51):
Oh, okay, lincoln and stuff.

Sandeep (10:55):
Yeah, famous Theses, and at least on the inside for
sure, and you know the court issaying, when you come to the
Monday, you'll see people of allgenders, all cast and social
backwards, living, eating,praying, loving and serving
together.
That was a big part of this,actually, was that that?
You know there's all thesevolunteers that devoted hours of
their selfless time to makethis thing happen, and they

(11:17):
range from like 18 year olds to60 year olds students, ceos,
doctors, engineers, architectsSome of them like taking leave
from work for months and thenrenting condos nearby to then
like and uh, notably, there waslike teams of women volunteers,
which this is notable because,I'll Hindu temples often exclude

(11:40):
women in their construction.

Omar (11:43):
Yeah, and so this is very inclusive of them.

Sandeep (11:46):
So all all these kind of good sort of progressive
things, but, but, and a big butIs that the, the temple, made
headlines when a group ofimmigrant laborers sued the, the
organization, accusing them oflearning Indian men from
marginalized communities to theUS and forcing them to work for
nearly 90 hours a week foraround one dollar an hour.

(12:08):
So big, big old but there.
So that's not great.
Not great.
There was a lawsuit thatalleged that there were shocking
conditions, including forcedlabor, grueling work hours in
hospitable living conditions andcaste discrimination.
Okay, so not great, right, notgreat.
Here's where it gets even morekind of confusing.

(12:29):
Okay, the organization said,you know, they came back and
they said, listen, the workerswere volunteers.
Their families, you know, werewell taken care of in India.
We took care of them here.
They came on their own volition.
Uh, activists say kind of, Uh,even if so, there's still this,
like you know, the raisingquestions about the line between

(12:49):
religious service and workerexploitation, which the Dalit
communities are sort ofespecially vulnerable to.
Um, and then here's the kickerfor me.
So I I was starting to do adeeper dive and like, okay, so
where did this land this?
Like lawsuit, like it's a classaction lawsuit, like did it
actually, uh, you know, goagainst them because, like

(13:09):
there's not much, you know,they're not talking about that
much.
So here's what happened in JulyIn a surprising turn of events,
the plaintiff's legal team justfiled a request to withdraw the
lawsuit and they there aren't,they aren't specifying what the
reasons behind that decision are.
Okay, so the lawsuit is justpoof gone, um, and then there

(13:30):
was a pr statement from thatorganization that said there was
a deep-rooted conspiracy tostall Hindu temple projects and
this was one of them,essentially and that the
plaintiffs were mislead withfalse temptations.
So basically, like some versionof like hey, hey, you guys, you
know you can make a lot ofmoney if you, if you join this
class and say that you weremistreated Is what they are

(13:53):
alleging.
So it's this whole underlyingscandal, um, that they're kind
of you know okay.

Omar (14:02):
So here's the thing, folks at the end of each of these
stories, we get to rate them asuh, we now feel informed,
baffled or more confused.

Sandeep (14:11):
Oh, it's informed, yeah , informed.
Still confused or baffled?

Omar (14:14):
baffled is the worst.
Yeah, baffled is the worst yeahum where are you landing?
Still confused.
Still confused still confused,not quite baffled, but still
confused.
This is one that I, you know, Iwas like oh it, you know it's a
small world, but, uh, a templeand now I'm kind of like okay.

Sandeep (14:35):
This is kind of a david fincher movie well, it's
interesting, like because If itwas in seva or like doing
selfless work.
Yes, was a big part of like mylife growing up.
It was always like preach to methat you know, you should give
10 percent of everything youmake to charity.
You should, like, you know,spend weekends, at least one

(14:56):
weekend a month, like doing someseva, some selfless work.
Like, whether that's likecleaning up an old lady's
backyard or like, or, you know,going to the local temple and
serving food or whatever it is.
Um, and so I know it's likesort of a part of the culture.
It's sort of interesting,though, when this, this gray
line between sort of hey, youshould do seva, and like you,

(15:16):
better do seva, yeah, um,otherwise you will be, you know,
uh, reincarnated as a uh inchworm and your family is gonna be
, you know, not well taken care,like when there's like some
sort of Undue pressure on theother side, uh, of that selfless
work.
So I don't, you know, thisobviously falls into that sort

(15:37):
of gray area.
Uh, I guess.

Omar (15:43):
Additionally, then we have the layer of the lawyers being
like no one said inch worm.

Sandeep (15:48):
Yeah, yeah.

Omar (15:50):
So okay, yeah, so can we just have a you.

Sandeep (15:54):
So, listen, I think I'm I'm also in this still confused
.
I mean, here's the thing like,whenever I did, whenever I
decided to do community servicework, I'm never I would.
It would take a lot for me tobe falsely tempted To then be
like you know what that templeis mistreating me, or that soup
kitchen is really mistreatingyou know what I mean?

(16:14):
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Like you're you probably Likethere has to be some kernel of
truth.
I think to be an exploitedworker.
You know to be like yeah, youknow what, I am kind of being
mistreated and this is a weirdarrangement.

Omar (16:28):
Yeah.

Sandeep (16:29):
And yeah, I want to explore the idea of there being
recompense for that.
I don't know.

Omar (16:35):
Interesting, interesting Well still confused.

Sandeep (16:37):
I'm just gonna say still confused.

Omar (16:40):
Well, our next story it's it's spooky season's on deep,
and you know what that means.

Sandeep (16:45):
Cricket, I didn't know that's where you're going, okay.

Omar (16:49):
The cricket world cup started on October 5th.
Um and uh, it's ending with thefinal on November 19th.
Do you follow cricket, Are you?

Sandeep (16:57):
cricket guy I.
You know.
The only time I ever followcricket is when I and when I'm
in India on a trip and then likejust Happen to get pulled into
whatever exciting thing is goingon in them right, but I don't
follow it no.

Omar (17:08):
It's a.
It's it's a.
In case you don't know, it's amassive sport.
It's a worldwide massive sport,I'm aware, with millions upon
millions upon millions of fanswho tune in to watch, and
there's a lot of people talkingabout cricket right now because
the Olympic committee Isconsidering putting cricket in

(17:29):
the Los Angeles games, so whichwould?
Which would open up the olympicgames to, you know, bigger
audiences and I'm definitelygoing in the in my backyard.
I'm there, yeah and you can justwatch some cricket.
I mean, you'll, yeah, actuallywatch out.
It's actually a dangerous sportand your house is a little bit
in danger.

Sandeep (17:47):
Um, got it from foul balls?
Yeah, well, there's no foulballs, because the whole, the
whole thing's in a circularpitch.
You can hit it.
Well, it's not.

Omar (17:54):
Yeah, there's no foul balls actually, but it you can
get knocked in the noggin umfair, but the um where?
With the Uh cricket world cuphappening right now, there's a
little confusing spin on thisstory.
Are you ready for this?

Sandeep (18:08):
Oh, okay, yeah, I'm ready.

Omar (18:09):
Uh, with surging tickets, ticket prices, airfare and hotel
prices, a lot of folks arebeing like how can I, you know,
go attend the world cup?
How can I go see cricket, right?
Sure, how do I make ends meet?
Uh, several doctors have toldlocal media, and I quote we have
come across some cases ofpeople coming to watch the india
pakistan match, also taking anappointment for health checkups

(18:31):
and staying in hospitals.

Sandeep (18:34):
Okay, so they're getting there?
Uh, they're getting theirannual.
Turn your head in cough andstay in the room with the tv.
In the waiting room.
Uh kind of brilliant.

Omar (18:50):
How do we feel about turning hospitals into
accommodations?

Sandeep (18:54):
Oh, my gosh, I mean Listen, um, as a good drat the.
I understand wanting to be ascheap as possible, and you know
I mean.
Listen, I wouldn't put past myparents that we'd be on a road
trip and end up in a hospitalwaiting room.

(19:14):
It just wouldn't surprise me ifthat happened.

Omar (19:17):
We are the people who, when we go to a fast food place
and you're getting a giantbucket of soda for a dollar, Uh,
our families will go no ice.

Sandeep (19:26):
So you know yeah, yeah, exactly, oh yeah, Um, and I'll
take all your packets.
Yes, sauce, yes.

Omar (19:34):
I keep them in my glove compartment and you're like the
plastic it's gonna poison you,um, but that's not what matters,
it's the principle of it.
Um, so, yeah, uh, so, anyhow,uh, in order to make
accommodations for the uhcricket world cup, folks are
checking into hospital.
How do we feel about this?
Do you feel informed?
Do you feel still confused?
So do you feel bad?

Sandeep (19:52):
I'm not confused or baffled.
I'm informed that that isinformed right.
I now know the way to get cheapaccommodations.
Um, not saying that this is agood idea.
You shouldn't do this.
This is bad for hospitalshospitals.

Omar (20:03):
Probably shouldn't, but you know that the doctors
reporting this are all like Imean, I get it, I do it.

Sandeep (20:09):
Yeah, I know for sure.
Um, I think what would get meinto cricket would be like if
they did like fantasy cricket.
You know what I mean I want todo.
Yeah, I'm sure there's a thingyou know what get me into
cricket?

Omar (20:22):
What?
No, no, maybe a little surgery.
We're going in for a surgery.

Sandeep (20:26):
little recovery for two days, get the way, like if you
see the little yellow cups, justwatch it just lay back into the
cricket, just a little, youknow let's do it, man, me and
you, let's hit up Cedar Sinaiand just kind of can you imagine
, get rooms next to each other,get the cricket nose job.

(20:46):
All right for our next storystory, numero trace.
It's the story of one iPhonefactory Powering Apple's pivot
to India.
Story is so.
This factory is run by Foxconnand it's located in and I'm
sorry I'm gonna say this wrong,but shri perambudder Shri

(21:10):
perambudder, maybe an industrialat town in Tamil Nadu.
It's one of the most Apple'smost important iPhone assembly
hubs outside of China, andthat's the big part of this.
It's outside of China.
The factory is one of thebiggest iPhone plants in India,
with 17,000 employees who churnout 6 million iPhones every year

(21:30):
.
Okay, so here's the crazy thingthat most of the 232 million
iPhones sold in last, last year,in 22 came from factories in
China.
But you know, politics withChina not so great, right like
Remember, biden was like I'mgonna defend Taiwan and China

(21:51):
was like I'm gonna totallyattack Taiwan.

Omar (21:54):
Yeah, and you know we have .

Sandeep (21:57):
We're staring down the barrel of a potential.
It's really scary kind of WorldWar there, and that's not just
scary for the world but also forApple, the.

Omar (22:06):
Apple's also a little scary.

Sandeep (22:08):
importantly, yeah, more importantly for Apple, because,
look, there are 2.7 trilliondollar business and they
manufacture all their stuff inChina, so they're trying to
hedge their bets, basically,yeah, so that's why they're
betting on India.
So in April this year, right,tim Cook flew to India.
He met with the Prime Minister,modi, and he was like I'm gonna

(22:29):
invest in this country.
And Modi was like, well, ohgreat, then make a factory here.
And they did, and they're nowassembling the new iPhone 15.
So here's what's confusing, orwhat the drop X are about this
Okay, is that Foxconn has ahistory of Lopez who knew, who
knew the name, like Foxconn whowould that?

(22:50):
So 159 factory workers arehospitalized and food poisoned,
mm-hmm, at the at their likesubcontract provided, hostile,
yeah, it's.
It set off waves of proteststhat drew media attention,
attention to their squal livingconditions.
So it's the classic story of,you know, terrible working
conditions for an exploiting theworker class, yeah, right.

(23:13):
And so, look, we might be happythat, like, investments are
moving into India and, you know,diversifying away from China,
but probably not great ifthey're just gonna keep treating
workers like garbage, huh.
Yeah, yeah because maybe thegeneral Way take away.

Omar (23:32):
I'll be honest, I'm feeling informed.

Sandeep (23:34):
I'm feeling informed too.
Yeah, I'm not.
I'm not necessarily confused bythis.
It's more like, yeah, you know,it's when you really start
thinking about the stuff that weconsume and enjoy, mm-hmm, you
know, off the backs of Peoplethat are totally exploited.
You're kind of like all so thatI can send out a WhatsApp.

Omar (23:57):
Sit to organize a pickleball game, yeah, yeah so
that I can have, like my nephew,pretend to be like a panda bear
talking emoji.
Yeah, not great Thank you,thank you, thank you.
That's my job again.
I worked there.
Yeah yeah, informed, and a lotto think about, especially with

(24:19):
this, you know, talking aboutworkers rights on a large scale
right now.
So, yeah, well, now we're gonnamove on to our last new segment
here, where we're gonna figureout if we're, you know, informed
, so confused or baffled by.
William Shakespeare famouslysaid, what's in the name, and
I'm here to say a lot Will, okayquite a bit well Recently asked

(24:44):
and answered, asked andanswered.
Thank you.
Next, I can do this all day,will I?
During the G20 summit in Delhi,this is on in early September,
do you remember this?
We talked about the G27?
Oh, we sure did.
We had the giant cardboardlunges.
Yep, prime Minister Modi Wassitting behind a name plate.

(25:06):
Mm-hmm, what do you think thatname plate was right?
They sit behind the name oftheir country.
What would it be?

Sandeep (25:13):
I'm gonna take a wild stab.
Go ahead.
I said it was India.
You fool, what?
Why would?

Omar (25:20):
you think that?
Why would you assume that?

Sandeep (25:24):
Fella to your trap.

Omar (25:25):
Yes, my very shallow with like all the side like a loony
tunes, like just go in here likecoyote, please just fall in.

Sandeep (25:34):
Was it like India, the best country in the world?
They just spell out like hisbelief.

Omar (25:39):
You know what?
Here's the thing you're not toofar off it was India rules.

Sandeep (25:42):
Was it India rules?

Omar (25:44):
It's pretty close with the Z at the end.
Yeah, I.

Sandeep (25:48):
Do Z's, let's get crazy .

Omar (25:50):
India rules Brazil drills.
He was sitting behind a placardthat read barat oh yeah, sure,
uh-huh.
This is a Someone argue areturn to some traditional
naming conventions for the landknown as India.
It is not being done inofficial capacity, yes, but it

(26:14):
going home to butter.
It's not an official namechange because that would
require an amendment to theConstitution, which would need
to be passed by a two-thirdsmajority in both houses of
parliament.
A lot of paperwork, Lot of redtape a lot of red tape.
Leave it up to Modi to be like.

Sandeep (26:29):
I'll just cut through it by doing something and all
the maps that will have tochange.

Omar (26:33):
Oh my, yes, yes but here's the thing, right, right, here's
the thing.
Yeah, india is a colonial name.
Okay, it was given to us by theBrits, so, but it is actually a
return to pre-colonial timesright.

Sandeep (26:47):
So this is, like you know, mumbai, right?

Omar (26:51):
Yes, all Mumbai, instead of Bombay, and except that's not
exactly true because, go on,the name of India actually kind
of predates the British colonialrule.
In fact, travelers as far asways that ancient Greece will
refer to the region, as in this,and India, just because of the
valley in this valley.

Sandeep (27:11):
So, like it's like yes, I remember even Hindu came from
that, right like callingsomeone.
They'll just say they'll callevery anybody from the other
side of the valley.
Yes, Hindus, yes, and that'swhere that came from?

Omar (27:25):
Yes, exactly, exactly, exactly, and but it itself is Is
incredibly old.
It comes from ancient Indianscriptures, but the term was
mostly used as a socio-culturalidentity rather than a geography
Rather than the place.
So even in the old text whereit's found, it's not used as a
name for what is currently beingcalled India.

(27:46):
So how you feeling about this?
You feeling informed?
You feel still confused, youfeel a little baffled.

Sandeep (27:53):
I Mean listen, my my dad's been saying this forever,
like we should change the namefrom India to, but this is the
real Motherland it's called, butI am surprised to find that you
gave me some extra context onthat.
But, also, like you know whatpeople I mean.
There's all sorts of Crazy waysand reasons that we name things

(28:15):
the things we named them, right.

Delvan (28:17):
So I'm just saying it's, I Guess.

Sandeep (28:21):
I guess I am feeling it more informed about this.
I am confused or baffled by it.
It doesn't surprise me,considering all the like Hindu
nationalism that's going on.
Yes.
Yeah there's that.
So I mean I, I Would hope thatif there's any renaming, that
would be like for the rightreasons and not for making you
know, trying to make otherpeople feel excluded.

(28:43):
Yes, that would be awful.
I would want them to have avoice and you know the, the
minorities there have to havesome sort of a voice in the name
changing if that's gonna happen.
But also I can see, you know,wanting to Not have a colonial
Name.

Omar (29:00):
Yeah.

Sandeep (29:01):
I don't know, we didn't have this here in our notes,
but there was also a story orGoing off script baby, yeah, you
have to hear this.
It's like the best trollingever.
So Pakistan responded the storyby saying, yeah, that if India

(29:21):
changes its name, that they willconsider then changing their
name to India.
Yeah, which I think is like themost amazing troll ever like
that's wild, it's so wild.

Omar (29:37):
It's like that's wild, it's wild you know, change the
maps twice, you can't do it allonce.

Delvan (29:44):
Yeah they got the River Valley.
I mean, if you're saying it'snot like it takes a way more
sense.

Sandeep (29:51):
No, yeah they have the Valley.
It's not to say that it'sthat's inappropriate or whatever
, but it's.
It's hilarious.

Omar (30:01):
It does make me feel like I.
I I've always held people whowork for like the UN or in
government, and such as a childwould hold them in high esteem
because I would watch movieslike the Great Mouse, detectives
or rescuers and the rescuersdown under, and it they're
always presented as the best acountry has to offer.

(30:22):
And hearing stuff like thismakes me go like oh, they're
just scrubs.
Like me where like?
They're just like.
Well, if you do that, we'll dothis.

Sandeep (30:28):
Yeah, yeah, exactly about that?

Omar (30:30):
You ever think about that.

Sandeep (30:31):
I know there's like it's very petty right, all right
.
Well, look, speaking of names,we're.
This is obviously not gonnahappen tomorrow, so but what I
think is interesting is talkingabout names and their meanings,
and so we're gonna jump into ourchakra check-in.

Omar (30:47):
Oh, okay, there we are.

Sandeep (30:51):
So your name.

Omar (30:53):
Oh, my name.

Sandeep (30:54):
Mm-hmm turns out in our research means one who has a
long life.

Omar (30:59):
Oh, Really, I didn't know that.

Sandeep (31:02):
Oh, I was told a different meaning.
Yeah, no, I.
So.
This is so interesting becausethe one that's written for me is
also different than what I wastold.
What were you told?

Omar (31:10):
I was told it means first born.

Sandeep (31:12):
Okay, yeah, and were you first born in your family?
I was, that would be hilarious.

Omar (31:18):
If it was just to be like we wish you were.

Sandeep (31:20):
Yeah, I know your older sibling sucks.
Oh man, I Like the idea of itjust being like first, you know
like yeah like you know, like ina YouTube comment section.

Omar (31:33):
That's what.

Sandeep (31:34):
Omar oh just wait, omar , when you comment on YouTube,
mm-hmm.
You want to say first Mm-hmm?

Omar (31:39):
Yeah, I write my name and then you see who the comments by
, so it just seems like a weirdthing someone's doing.
But yeah, that's my.
That's my first name, meaning,and then my middle name is Sahel
, which means star.
That was given to me by mygrandfather who, when you first
held me, he was like, oh,there's stars in his eyes.
And then later my mom was likeyou were meant for Hollywood.

(32:01):
And I don't have the heart totell her we have so much light
pollution we actually can't seethe stars and by me my last name
I actually don't know a wholelot about, because it was
changed two generations ago.
We used to be cons.

Sandeep (32:14):
And then to escape persecution.

Omar (32:15):
We changed it to Najam.
So there we are.

Sandeep (32:19):
That's what.
That's great.
What so?
What did that mean to you like?
What did it mean to you to beNamed like the first born?
Did that?
Did that carry any like sort ofobligation or additional?

Omar (32:30):
Yeah.
Yeah growing up I was like Ihave to be like the arrow.
That I had growing up was likevery Steve Rogers.
I was like I have to look outfor my siblings, I have to be
the best for my family.
I need to represent my familyvery well.
And then this time passed and Iwent to UCSB.
I was like nah.

Delvan (32:52):
They can or they can handle themselves.

Omar (32:55):
There's no weight on my shoulders.
I'm going to film school.

Sandeep (33:00):
So yes, I don't know carrying anybody there.

Omar (33:04):
How about you?
What, what, what does your nameshow up as and what does your
name mean?

Sandeep (33:07):
So here in the, in the research, that Kayla did, was
its sunscreen for a burningflame or lamp beautiful.

Omar (33:15):
Is you're the light of you the light of our lives Sunday,
but I here.

Sandeep (33:17):
I was told.
My parents that my name meansenlightenment.

Omar (33:22):
Well, not too far off.
They both include light.

Sandeep (33:24):
They both include light .

Omar (33:25):
Yeah.

Sandeep (33:26):
I'm beginning to believe, though, that my dad had
some.
You know, he took some poeticlicense when he described the
meaning to me.
So to me it's always meantenlightenment, and I thought
that was always really cool,yeah.
But I was also like I don'tthink I'm enlightened and then I

(33:48):
sort of like After I got, whenI got married, at the start of
thinking about me meaning is alot, because we were talking
about like, oh what?
last name are we gonna have andall this other stuff.
And hey, hannah, my wife's name, it means grace.
Yes and and you look at the twoof us, okay, Hannah's a lot of
things, Mm-hmm.

(34:08):
Is she graceful?
Yes, she can be.
Am I enlightened?
Maybe on Thursdays.
And so I started thinking like,oh well, maybe that's like less
like what we are and it's morelike what we strive to be.

Omar (34:26):
I love that.

Sandeep (34:27):
More like what we and then maybe, and then I did this
whole thing during our vows.
That was like maybe I need,maybe I need and I need grace to
achieve enlightenment and sheneeds enlightenment to achieve
like to fully embody grace.
That's really beautiful.

Omar (34:43):
So that's how we need each other Anyone stand up during
your speech to interrupt and belike, or maybe she needs lamp,
for grace.

Sandeep (34:52):
Or yeah, turn a light on.

Omar (34:56):
Maybe that'll help with the grace you ever think about
that.
Yeah, that's a little.
That's one step, that one'sgreat.

Sandeep (35:01):
That's why she's tripping every time she does a
pirouette.
There's no light in here or aburning flame.

Omar (35:10):
Do you think people should know the menus of their names?

Sandeep (35:15):
It's always been important to me.
It's always made me feelconnected to something kind of
bigger than myself and connectedto culture and history.
Yeah, I guess, and I was gonnasay legacy, but not really,
because I'm not, like, namedafter somebody, but it just
feels like I'm connected to abroader culture in a way Do you

(35:38):
feel?
Cooler than Frank.

Omar (35:40):
No offense to Frank's out there, but Do you feel names
like Hansen and you look it upand it's like Son of Han.

Sandeep (35:47):
Do you?

Omar (35:48):
feel that that lands in the same way, because there's a
legacy in its own way.
But you don't get like itbecause to me names with
meanings feel like X-Men, mutantpowers.
Yeah so you just like whenlater you find out, and it's
just like.
It means fast, it means quickand swift it means.
I'm going to be a runner.

Sandeep (36:06):
I'm quick silver and there are like a bunch of like
Irish names that just mean likeredheaded boy.

Omar (36:11):
Yes.

Sandeep (36:12):
Or like has a beard or something.

Omar (36:14):
Yeah.

Sandeep (36:14):
Like, it's like very.

Omar (36:16):
It's Potra Cossiverd.
Yeah, yeah.

Sandeep (36:19):
So yeah, how do you feel about those names that are
just more directly hears thething I'm honest, like it was my
way of being like a little bitcooler than all the kids in my
class.

Omar (36:30):
As a reminder.

Sandeep (36:31):
They all had everything that they had, which is like
homogene and each other and likea sense of a shared culture
that they all understood, and Ihad my own weird little thing
that that was like a little bitoutside that but trying
desperately to be a part of that.
So then, that was one way inwhich I owned my yes.
Differentness was like I gotthis cool name and at this cool

(36:54):
name meaning.
That's why I never really likednicknames Like people would try
like hey, sandy or Sunny.

Omar (37:00):
Yeah, nah, no, I'm enlightened yeah.

Delvan (37:05):
Or at least I'm on my way, yeah exactly, that's great.

Omar (37:09):
Mine means first born, and it's true.

Sandeep (37:11):
Yeah, I like this one who has a long life.
I mean, that's that boats wellfor you, that's great, I need it
yeah.
You can use more life.

Omar (37:21):
I the other the other day.
You know what I think this nameis.
I think this name is comingtrue because I genuinely I have
lived a stupendous life.
I am a very simple man with whoenjoys simple pleasures, of
which, like my greatest joys forme are traveling to another
country and just having like asimple meal, and I know there's

(37:42):
like a lot of like ooh Lottiedoll, you can go when I go to
other countries.
I'm not rich, I'm still onsomeone's couch but just going
somewhere and having like aburger or a beer or a sandwich
or something local or aperfectly brewed iced tea
without ice.
Perfectly brewed iced tea, justpoured over, iced, the ice
melts, and then you didn't getmore ice before the show,
something like that, justchatting with someone, and I

(38:03):
have been to Australia a coupleof times, I've been to England,
I've been to India, I've been toSingapore.

Sandeep (38:08):
Okay, frequent flyer.

Omar (38:10):
So you know I'm racking up those miles.
I've been to Boston and been toCanada, so I feel like it.
I've had a very fulfilled likethe, the, the length of life
through Boston.

Sandeep (38:19):
In there, you know, is if it's like exotic locations as
well.

Omar (38:25):
I didn't quite speak the language.

Sandeep (38:27):
Have you heard of Staro Drive?

Omar (38:30):
And you want to go to the fucking comments.
But, and so I and I love thatand that keeps me, that keeps me
the way young.
But I do think that I am aging,because the other day I went to
go have dinner with Serena, ourfriend Serena, and she got
carded and then the waitressturned to me and went nah,
you're good, yeah, yeah.

(38:51):
You're fine, so I'm feeling it.
You're old, you're on your lastlegs so here's a beer, all
right.

Sandeep (39:00):
Well, on that, why don't we get to our main game?

Omar (39:08):
All right, this is going to be a really great segment
because we actually have propsfor using which we'll be
interacting with.
In a second, our Game MasterDelvin will be reading off the
meanings of a name and we willhave to guess which location
owns that meaning.

Sandeep (39:26):
Yeah, so.
So like, for example yeah,chicago, okay, right, yeah, we
looked this up beforehandbecause we were coming up with a
game.
Yeah, so it means onion orstriped skunk in Algonquin
apparently.

Omar (39:42):
So if Delvin says that we got a write down on our Y board?

Sandeep (39:46):
we have to guess what we think that the place is.

Delvan (39:48):
The place is.
I'm going to be giving you themeanings.
Yeah, yeah, got these in stages.
So we give you the meaning,give you a shot at it, okay,
Okay, we can give you a languageof Mm hmm, okay.
So not there.
We'll give you a multiplechoice real good shot of making
it.
We'll just get closer to that.

Sandeep (40:07):
Perfect, easy.

Delvan (40:08):
Let's do it, let's go.

Sandeep (40:11):
This is big because I'm pretty sick of this, you know,
living in a world where Omar isthe host, it's kind of it's been
brutal.

Omar (40:16):
Well, you might want to get a spaceship, because it's
going to happen again this week.

Delvan (40:20):
Okay, all right Are the white boards paired.

Omar (40:26):
Yeah, yeah.

Delvan (40:27):
All right.
So the name meaning is pleasantplace.

Sandeep (40:34):
Pleasant, pleasant, so it's not Pleasantville.

Omar (40:40):
The movie.
The black and white filmPleasant place to live.

Sandeep (40:47):
San Diego means a whale's vagina Pleasant.

Omar (40:52):
Pleasant, pleasant, okay.
Okay, so we're going for afirst guess right, and if we get
it, it's locked in.

Delvan (40:58):
If we get it, you got the point or, and we're skipping
, you have it, we can startcleaning.

Omar (41:04):
I gotta say this is a great whiteboard.

Sandeep (41:07):
I really enjoyed writing that.
I'm just going to guess.
Here we go.

Omar (41:10):

Okay, the language of origin.
Platin, platin, platin, platin.
Looking for a Latin kind of.

Sandeep (41:31):
Okay, so I guessed Miami.
So I'm going to now kind ofcome off of that Latin.

Delvan (41:38):
I mean it's kind of Latin.

Sandeep (41:40):
Oh, I guess it is because it's a romance language.

Delvan (41:41):
It's a romance language.
Can you go back far enough?
Yeah, kind of Okay.

Sandeep (41:46):
Pleasant place to live.

Delvan (41:48):

Omar (42:00):
Okay, we just found that.

Delvan (42:02):

condom was real or not, becauseI don't want to give any clues
on whether it's possible.
It's like the right answer.

Sandeep (47:26):
It's too obvious.

female of the pig.

direction.

Omar (57:34):
Well, let's jump to Dacia, the week all right, folks, I'm
so excited about this week's day, see the week we're closing our
season with just an incredibleexample in the community.
This week we are honoring adesi judge that's overseeing a
huge public and hugely impactfulcase.
Yep, this is an honor, judge,your honor.

(57:57):
And of course, we are talkingabout Moxie LaVillada.
Pee-mit, what, what, what areyou talking about?

Sandeep (58:06):
wait, are you telling me that there's two daisies we
have?

Omar (58:09):
two daisies of the week judges and they're both judges.
Can I?
Talk about mine real quick,okay, you first you might have
heard about Moxie La recently inthe news, because the honor
judge is a US magistrate judgewho's handled the initial
proceedings of the Trumparraignment on the federal
charges relating to trying tooverturn the 2020 election a

(58:32):
pretty important case happeningright now yeah yep, she allowed
Trump to leave his secondarraignment in federal court
without travel restrictions or acash bond, but before he left
she issued some warnings.
She said it's a crime toinfluence a juror or to threaten
.
Yes, who attempt to bribe awitness or any other person who
may have information about yourcase, which is to go on many

(58:55):
things that he has for sure donein the past.

Sandeep (58:58):
Yes, you tell him auntie Moxie, la auntie you tell
him.

Omar (59:05):
Moxie, la auntie, was born in Qatar and was raised near
Kansas City.
Her distinguished legal careerincludes a commitment to pro
bono work representingindigenous clients in post
conviction proceedings that haveearned her the defender of
innocence award from theMid-Atlantic innocence project.

(59:25):
In 2009, okay, named pro bonolawyer of the year by a
venerable in 2006.
So an absolute, an absolutepowerhouse of a human being
who's helping folks who need itand then telling Trump hey, cut
it out, you're in so muchtrouble so what happens if Trump

(59:46):
goes to jail, okay, and JoeBiden?

Sandeep (59:51):
something happens.
Joe Biden because he's old,he's old mm-hmm, like, if they
drop out of the race, there's achance.
I'm just throwing this outthere.
Okay, that auntie?
Mm-hmm come along, come alongto yeah and I guess I don't want
to call her an auntie, butNikki Haley, right, become the

(01:00:13):
two leading candidates.
Yes, two Indian womenhead-to-head for the.
You know the, the, the leader ofthe free world because
interesting, interesting timeswell, speaking of interesting
times, we have yet another judgewho's overseeing a huge case,
which is the big Googleantitrust trial.

(01:00:34):
That's okay, p meta.
Google's being accused ofoperating on a legal monopoly
because guess what we all useGoogle to do searching and
nothing else.
Pretty much they own 90% of themarket share, and so I'm gonna
make the rule in favor of aproceeding with a proceeding

(01:00:54):
with the central part of theantitrust lawsuit against Google
.
So that's, that's big.
He agreed to take on the trialthe accusation that Google has
been suppressing competition inthe advertising market.
The trial is gonna start inNovember and he's gonna hear
testimony from yet another DesiIndian born American Google CEO,
sundar Pachai.
So just indios all up in thesehuge court cases, or Desi's and

(01:01:21):
judgment that he did dismiss abunch of claims ahead of trial.
So it's boiled down to justlike this, this main issue,
really, yeah, of Google beingthe default search for, like you
know, android and all theseother things, and Google spends
tons of money to make sure thatit's the default search engine,
which means that it's impossiblefor competitors compete.
So, yeah, these are huge myth.

(01:01:42):
That was born in Bhutan, india.
He was appointed to serve as aUS district judge by former
president Barack Obama.
Maybe you've heard of him.
In 2022, he rejected formerpresident Donald Trump's bid to
toss civil lawsuits holding himresponsible for inciting a
historic riot, not and denyinghim from immunity.
So both have ties to judging mrTrump there, yeah.

(01:02:06):
