Hope you enjoyed this episode asmuch as we enjoyed this show.
Let's get started. Hi Richie.

(00:51):
Oh, and hello to you, Ruchi's Congestion.
She says hi. Yeah, sick aft today.
Nobody wants this, am I right? Hey, I ain't sick of that humor,

(01:11):
hey. Well, should we just dive in
then? We already said the name of this
show. Let's do it.
Hello Yappers, today we're goingto be talking about Nobody Wants
This season 2, which premiered October 23rd, 2025 on Netflix.

(01:33):
In case you missed season 1, thepremise of Nobody Wants This is
about the relationship between an agnostic sex podcaster,
Joanne, who is played by KristenBell, and a newly single rabbi,
Noah, who is played by Adam Brody.
There are also a couple of othernotable characters like Morgan

(01:54):
who is Joanne's sister and also sex podcast Co host Sasha and
Esther. Sasha being Noah's brother and
Esther being Sasha's wife. Slash Noah's sister-in-law,
Lynn, who is Morgan and Joanne'smom and I forgot the name of

(02:15):
their dad. That's OK, I.
Don't know, not important. Not important.
I guess that's it. That's kind of the the most of.
Oh, and Bina the mom. Oh yeah.
Bina, Noah's mom. Noah's mom, yes, OK, let's get
into There is so much that I want to discuss about this.
Season. I cannot wait.

(02:37):
Shalini, what are your thoughts?I thought it was good.
I really loved season 1 and there are definitely some really
strong criticisms I had for season 1, but overall the story
really hooked me. I feel like it's been so long
since we've seen such a relatable love story ROM com

(02:59):
where they're facing real world issues.
It's not like fake, contrived, Idon't know.
I felt like all of the conflict was very real.
None of the characters were super unreasonable.
It was like I really just wantedto root for everybody in the
show, which I loved. I think coming into Season 2, I
didn't really know what to expect, but a few things fell a

(03:20):
little flat for me. I feel like, well, I'm sure
we'll get into this, but I feel like they ended up in the exact
same place they were at the end of Season 1.
Yes. Totally my biggest issue with
it. It's like, what changed?
You still don't know what you'regoing to do.
Isn't this the same revelation you had Noah at the end of
Season 1? I don't know.

(03:41):
So I was like, why did we go through all of that for what was
the point? But that being said, I really
loved a lot of the moments in season 2.
I read that there's some criticism that like everything
that made season 1 good falls flat in season 2, but I don't
think that's true. I still thought Kristen Bell and

(04:02):
Adam Brody had really great chemistry.
I think Morgan, played by Justine Lupe is hilarious and.
Like. Everything she said, I laughed
out loud and I loved her arc andI love her and Joanne's
relationship. And yeah, just still, it still
had that like very heartwarming,like fall cozy, like blinking

(04:26):
lights, you know, that that cuteambiance and very cute
storylines. Yeah, I totally agree with your
points. I think season 2 kind of felt
like a better version of season 1, but it emotionally like all
of the conflicts, the character arcs, they were kind of the same

(04:46):
actually. OK, I'll take that back.
Maybe not the character arcs, but but definitely like the
emotional conflict of the entireseason was basically the same,
which I was like, I feel like you kind of resolved this in
season 1, but it doesn't seem like you did.
So looking back on season 1, I know you went and looked back at
the actual episode. So I felt like in season 1,

(05:08):
maybe the only difference there was, was season 1 was more
about, oh, you need to convert so I can get this job.
But then in season 2 it was like, oh, I, I lost the job, but
you still need to convert. Maybe I, I think like that was
the whole part that was a littlebit muddled for me and why it

(05:30):
didn't, it felt like the emotional conflict was the same.
Also, I felt like season 1 endedthe exact same way as season 2
did, right? They're like running after each
other and then they're like it like they, they break up, then
they run after each other and they're like, actually it
doesn't matter. Yep.
So I was like, wait, we've, we've seen this before.
Like we've experienced this exact scenario before.

(05:52):
Yeah, it was, it was very similar.
So yes, I did go back and watch the very end of Season 1 because
I was like, I want to see what changed.
Like what happened in Season 1 that could have been so
different than Season 2. Am I remembering this wrong?
And basically what happens is inSeason 1, she talks to him and

(06:15):
she says, I don't think we can do this.
Like, it just doesn't make sense.
I really like you. But like, sadly, you know, it's
just not our, it's just not going to be our journey.
Then she runs away, he runs after her.
She gets off the bus and then turns around and he's standing
there. And then he's like, I don't need
both. And then they kiss.

(06:38):
OK. Season 2, what happens?
He says, I don't see any way outof this, I'm going to go.
He runs off. She runs after him, he runs
after her. Then he turns around and she's
there. And then he's like, you're my

(06:58):
soul mate, It doesn't matter. Yeah.
So for a Season 3, like there's no one left Like we've done the
two iterations of these two people running after each other.
Season 3, Like, is conversion now still an issue for them?

(07:19):
Like now I'm not sure. Right, 'cause I didn't think it
was based on the ending of season 1, but then it turned out
to be a major plot point in season 2.
I know Oh my God, when the when the first episode, the dinner
party have also another dinner party in episode 1 and see both
season 1 and season 2. But the dinner party episode in
season 2, very first episode when he when they like realized

(07:42):
that each of them had different expectations or he's like, oh,
like she's going to convert eventually and she was like,
what? Huh.
Yeah. Off the table and he's like, no,
it's tabled. And she's like, no, it's off the
table. I was like, Oh no, how did this?
Did you guys not talk about whatit means if you're getting back

(08:03):
together? Yeah, I actually thought that
was a pretty relatable moment because I, I often think that
people have this kind of like, oh, when you say tabled it, does
that mean we're putting a pin init?
Or does that mean we're like nottalking about it ever because
it's like not an issue and we'regonna like maintain the stands

(08:24):
all the time. Like I thought that was actually
a good conversation or like a good thing to have because I can
actually see a lot of couples having this kind of
miscommunication issue because of like the metaphors that they
use, you know? OK, but I thought, I didn't
think it was about the. Is nomenclature the right word
or like the? Yeah, yeah.

(08:45):
Yeah, I didn't think it was thatissue, like I didn't.
I think tabling was a way to explain what they thought had
happened. But I don't think it sounded
like she was just saying, I thought when we got back
together, that meant that you didn't want me to convert.
And he was like, oh, I just thought I was giving you more

(09:06):
time. And I was like, how did you guys
not think about that? Or how did that not come up
until now if you got back together?
Yeah, I agree. Like they absolutely, regardless
of table metaphors, should have clarified what they had.
Like that should have been a conversation for sure.
Yeah, yeah, I agree with you there.

(09:28):
But here's what I did like aboutSeason 2.
And what I also really appreciate about this show in
general is that I feel like there are so many relationship
nuances that are explored in this show that are not in almost
like any other show that we watch.
Like it's not like a trope any of these things.
Like we've got divorced parents who are actually better, like

(09:51):
who have a better relationship after marriage and who are Co
parenting so much better after marriage.
We have codependent sisters who are extremely close.
They have a podcast together, but yet sometimes their
relationship is a little bit toxic.
You're like, oh, they're very close, but like also kind of
toxic close. And then we also have like Sasha

(10:13):
and Esther's relationship I think is really interesting
because they've gotten together when they were really young, but
now they're trying to explore their marriage kind of like
after the point that they have to be together and what does
that relationship look like? Which I think did do a big shift
from season 1 to season 2. And it feels like there's like a

(10:35):
lot of legs to explore how that relationship will evolve in
season 3. And then also, of course, like
Noah and Joanne's relationship, trying to explore like being in
two different religions and 1 isvery much into their religion
and one is not. How does that relationship
evolve? Which yeah, is these are tropes

(10:56):
that we do not see that often. So I really appreciate that they
are putting them all together. And also it does feel very
realistic and relatable that theway that they're doing the the
relationships and like the way that people are evolving, which
is which is really nice. I really appreciate.
That OK, I wanna add on to that with two other minor

(11:21):
relationship issues that they portrayed in a really real way.
I think 1 is the night off that they took from each other and
just how that made her feel so rejected, even though he didn't
mean it that way. I feel like that is so common in
a new budding relationship whereyou're still establishing
relationship norms. You don't know if you should

(11:41):
read into things. I feel like we don't see that
very often. Yeah.
In television and movies. And so I really liked that and
just kind of digging into how little things that seem normal
to one person are felt as snubs to the other person.
And then also the Valentine's Day episode.
I feel like everything that Joanne felt on Valentine's Day

(12:02):
was so real. And I have never seen that
portrayed in media before. But it's something that I think
every girl has felt, probably dating, as every straight woman
dating a man has felt of like, am I just another girl to you?
Like what? I thought this was different,
you know? And so I loved that portrayal.

(12:24):
Yeah, Another another thing thatlike isn't a trope, but it's so
common. Yes, in real life, can we talk
about the Valentine's Day officein detail?
OK, Because I thought that was so weird because I feel like in
the previous episodes and also season 1, the way that Noah

(12:45):
treated Joanne was definitely like, you are different.
You are like so much more important to me.
And the fact that he did like a Valentine's Day redux for
Joanne. I was flabbergasted.
But then I realized that that was the point.
Like we as the viewers know thatNoah treats Joanne differently.

(13:06):
But like in this moment, he did not treat Joanne differently.
No. And he did not think for one
second, what would Joanne want? He thought, what should I as a
boyfriend be doing? Which is like, oh, I hate, I
hate when people think that way,like men or women.
I, I, it should never be like, what should I be doing?

(13:27):
It's like, well, what are you trying to do?
You're trying to make your partner happy.
You should think about what would make them happy.
Yeah, yeah. Even if that means like, oh, a
Valentine's Day where she just wants to watch Love is blind.
Let her have that. So she wants.
I know. I thought that was kind of a

(13:49):
first glimpse behind the curtainof Noah's, like, perfect Facade.
Yeah. So I feel like he's he was shown
and season 1 is like pretty faultless like he's this mature
guy. Well with the major exception
being how he treated Rebecca andhow they ended their
relationship. Which Oh my God after I watched
the very end of season 1, I wentback and watched the very

(14:11):
beginning of season 1 and I was like dude, no you're such a
fucking asshole. OK let me remind you all yappers
how season 1 begins. This is the first scene we see
Noah. He walks into his house with his
brother, Sasha. Rebecca is there preparing their
brunch that they're going to have as, like, a group of four.

(14:31):
And Noah sees that Rebecca's wearing an engagement ring.
And he's like, what is that? And she's like, oh, yeah, I
found it in your drawer, which also happened to be locked, but
I found the key. Ha, ha, ha.
And she, like, tries to make a joke out of it.
And he's like, how could you go through my stuff?
That's such an invasion of privacy.
And she's like, no, like we bothknow you were, you were going to

(14:52):
propose to me. It was going to happen.
But now we're past that. Now I say yes, like, let's just
move on and be happy. I've talked to your mom about
wedding venues and stuff. And he's like, you talk to my
mom and it's like, dude, how long have you 2 been together?
Years. Like what?
What is wrong with you? Shit or get off the pot, Sir.

(15:13):
And so yeah, OK, I'll decide. Sorry.
Coming back to the original, I'mlike that is the obviously the
major flaw we see in Noah in Season 1, but like him with
Joanne, we don't really see any flaws.
And so I liked that that is kindof coming back to haunt him in a
way where like he's not just getting by and like moving on to

(15:35):
the next Scott free. It's like it is a theme and it's
becoming a pattern and Joanne isseeing that and she's holding
him accountable, which I really appreciated so.
Yes, I also really like that. Although I have to say, when
when Joanne first brought up thepoint, she was like, I've
memorized all of Rebecca's pictures on the Internet and I

(15:56):
know that this is Rebecca's LinkedIn picture where she's
wearing this necklace that says Rebecca on it.
My first thought was like, oh, what if Rebecca had really liked
this necklace? And then Noah was like, oh,
Rebecca really liked that necklace.
Maybe I should get a necklace for Joanne that's like that
because women like this necklace.

(16:18):
That was my initial thought. And then it turns out, no, Noah
literally just gave Rebecca thatnecklace a few Valentine's Day
ago. And, like, now, RIP.
Like, now Joanne is getting thisnecklace.
Yeah. Both aren't great, but I think
what they showed is perhaps worse.
Yes. Yes, definitely.
He's like, oh, women like this necklace, I will get one for

(16:41):
Joanne. Like, that's also not great, but
at least it showed some criticalthinking on his.
Part yeah, exactly. That's that's how how I thought
it was going to go down, which is, yeah, like you said,
obviously not great, but like what actually happened was a lot
worse. That's why I was like, wow,
crazy. Yeah, and then in comparison,

(17:03):
Joanne got him like the most thoughtful thing.
She talked to his friends to figure out what he would want,
and then she got him a poster that he loved instantly.
Like, dude, put some effort in, yeah.
Oh, question. What did you think about their
whole conflict about the card? So like Noah wrote her this like
beautiful card and she like, shewas like, I'll read this later

(17:25):
and like went straight to the present versus like her card was
like happy Valentine's Day. Noah The.
Card right, it just said like love Joanne on the front.
Oh yeah. It was like something very, very
small. So like, what did you think
about that? Because obviously like someone
put way more thought into the card, but not the present.

(17:46):
And then the other person went the other way around.
Like a lot more effort into the present, not the card.
Whoa, that is so astute. I Yeah, OK, you know what?
I think if I was Joanne, I wouldhave recognized that.
Obviously Noah puts a lot of importance on on cards, so I
should sit here and read this even if I want to know what's
inside this present. Yeah, I I also was like, what

(18:08):
the hell, Joanne, like the fact that she immediately, just like,
I'll read this later. I was like, guys, I think as
someone who has gone from a Joanne to the Noah side of
things, I used to be all about the present.
And now I'm like, if I get a really heartfelt card about what
someone thinks about me for my birthday, I'm like, hmm, that's

(18:30):
good. I feel like I have enough stuff.
If someone, like, wrote down their thoughts about me, then I
feel like that is a beautiful present in and of itself.
Umm, but yeah, I just thought I was like, I was shook when she
threw away the card. That was so bad.
Yeah. I don't know what I prefer
because I think it's like, do I want someone who's telling me

(18:52):
how they feel, or do I want someone who gives me something
that shows how well they understand me?
Ideally, it would be both. Ideally both.
Ideally both. If I were to choose between 1, I
think I've stopped placing as much importance on work.
Actually, I don't know. Maybe I just want both.

(19:17):
Give me both, yeah. I think, I think if I had to
choose between a thoughtless card or a thoughtless gift.
I think I would go for thoughtless card.
I think, yeah. I think thoughtless card,
thoughtful gift is, I think better.
No. Is it better than thoughtful

(19:38):
card, thoughtless gift? I don't know.
My gosh, this is a real conundrum.
Yeah, Yoppers, what would you prefer?
This will be our pull. For yeah, yeah.
So would you rather can we do four options is that possible?
Yeah, well, I mean thoughtful card, thoughtful gift is
obviously getting. Thoughtless gift and thoughtless

(20:00):
card. You're right, you're right.
We only need two. OK, Thoughtless card, thoughtful
gift, or Thoughtful card, thoughtless gift.
Those are your two options. Let us know.
I truly don't know. I think it really depends.
I think I'd prefer a thoughtlesscard.
Thoughtful gift. I think so too.
I think it also depends on like I'm sure it depends on the

(20:22):
person and where our issues havestemmed from in the past.
If I'm like, you're not like youdon't put any thought into
things, then like maybe a thoughtful gift might mean more,
but. That's true.
It's like you don't tell me you love me enough.
Then maybe a thoughtful card would be more important.
That's true. It all depends on the
relationship context. Yeah, it all depends on your

(20:44):
baggage, your trauma. Oh man.
Speaking of trauma Doctor Andy. Oh my gosh.
Let's talk about Morgan and Doctor Andy.
What did you think about that relationship?
What did you think at the beginning?
Where did you think it was goingto go?

(21:05):
Dude, I really did not see the direction it was going to go in,
so I really liked that plot. First of all, love Justine Lupe,
as I've already said. I also love the guy that plays
Doctor Andy. His name.
Oh my gosh, I'm forgetting his name.
It's like Aryan Moyad or something.
Yeah, Aryan Moyad. So they were both in succession.

(21:28):
I don't know if they ever interacted in succession.
But I didn't know that. Aryan Moyed plays Stewie, who is
Kendall's former friend Slash, now board member of Royco.
Yeah. I haven't watched Succession, so
oh oh. Oh, OK, OK, yeah.
But basically they they they both play very peripheral

(21:51):
characters. Well, Justine as a bit bigger
character, but I don't think they ever interact.
So it was really fun to like seethem together in this show in
like, which is such a different show.
Like alternate universe type thing.
Yeah. Did you though, recognize him
from anything else? I don't think so.
Oh, OK. He was Keon in love life season

(22:14):
2. He's Oh my God cheaty but I
forgot what his name is on the show.
Marcus. Marcus's friend Keon who ends up
dating Marcus's ex-wife. Oh.
You're so right. Wow, steel trap mine.
Shalu goes so hard. You're like, why do I kind of

(22:38):
like this guy? And I realized it's because I
was remembering his character inLove Life.
Oh I had the opposite reaction. I was like why do I not like
this guy? Also because he reminded me of
of Shake from Love is Blind, nota character you're.
So right, it's kind of. Similar.

(22:59):
I was like, well I know exactly.I was like, I feel such an
intense dislike for this man. Oh my gosh.
OK, well, in terms of Doctor Andy himself.
So I really love just like, how that mess played out, Doctor

(23:19):
Andy. Very flawed man, very flawed
therapist. But I thought it was interesting
how at first, Morgan is feeling so loved and so seen, and she's
like, he puts me on a pedestal. I've always wanted to be loved
like this. And as you're going through with
her, you're like, yeah, like he knows her and he knows all of

(23:40):
her deep insecurities. He knows her flaws.
And yeah, that is great. He does love her for who she is.
That's beautiful. And then as you keep going,
you're like, well, the way he found this information out is so
unbalanced. And yeah, she actually knows
nothing about him. So I thought that was a really
great way to portray that power imbalance and that knowledge

(24:03):
imbalance. And.
And then when her mom is finallylike, you don't want that.
You want an equal partnership? She's like, Oh, yeah.
Yeah, another relationship nuance that is actually very
realistic, although I don't knowhow many people end up dating
their therapist, but totally agree that like something that
looks really great on the outside, like, oh, wouldn't it

(24:26):
be great if you were just in a relationship with someone who
knows all of you, all of your baggage, everything, and accepts
you regardless? Like, wouldn't that be great?
There was another side of it, though.
You don't know any of theirs. Yeah, Oh my God.
In therapy, when he was like, inthe two years we've known each
other, you've never asked me onething about myself.

(24:48):
She's like, we were in there, you were in therapist.
Yeah, Oh my gosh, yeah. Also, I hate that it took them
to the engagement party for her to realize all of that stuff.
I know. I was like the non refundable
deposits. No.
Oh. No.

(25:08):
Also, who's paying for this? Do you think he's really rich?
I mean, I guess they've shown that he's pretty rich.
Yeah, yeah, I think they had said it before.
She had mentioned that he overcharges his celebrity
clients and that's how we. Paid for it.
OK, that's pretty funny. Yeah, but that was another

(25:30):
relationship where I was like this.
This feels icky. I don't know where this is going
to land. I was actually really on
Joanne's side for a lot of that.I was like, I really hate this
relationship. This power dynamic is crazy.
I wish they broke up. But then after, like seeing how
he treated her for Valentine's Day and like all of these

(25:53):
things, he was so kind to her. I was like, OK, a tentative
support, like tentative optimism.
And then by the time the engagement party came around, I
was willing to support them. But then I was like, oh, she
doesn't want this anymore, let'sgo, let's go.
Yeah, that was so funny when Joanne was like, this isn't a
trap, right? Because I'm going to let it RIP.

(26:13):
I was like, yes. Joanne, yeah, I love the way
Joanne was like triple checking.She was like, I need to make
sure because there's no coming back from this.
OK, I have a lot of other questions, but I don't know if I
have anything else on Morgan andDoctor.
Oh yeah, go ahead. I I guess I.
Have a general question, which is how old do you think all of

(26:35):
these characters are supposed tobe?
All of the people in their generation?
So good question. Morgan, Doctor Morgan and Doctor
Andy, Joanne and Noah and Estherand Sasha.
How old are they supposed to be?I was thinking like mid to late
30s. OK, yeah, like maybe I think

(26:55):
that makes sense. Morgan is the youngest, right?
Morgan is the youngest, yeah. She might be in her early 30s
but I was thinking everyone else's like mid to late 30s.
OK, OK. I think that makes sense because
Sasha and Esther have a like 13 year old, but they had her
pretty young. Yeah.
So I guess that makes sense for like late 30s and then or maybe

(27:20):
mid 30s, mid to late 30s, yeah. Then maybe Noah's.
Noah's the younger brother, right?
I think so, yeah. OK.
Yeah, interesting. Oh this is also interesting
because OK my friend Jing has a theory that older sibling,
younger sibling can date older sibling older sibling can date,

(27:43):
but younger sibling younger sibling cannot date and so
Joanne is the older sibling and Noah's the younger sibling.
So that makes sense. Yes, as someone as a younger
sibling who is dating another younger sibling, I understand
the concerns about that dynamic,but I think there is a couple of

(28:04):
ways that where I feel like I don't really feel like the
younger sibling, Like a lot of the tropes that are associated
with the younger sibling, I feellike don't really apply to me.
Like there's a lot of tropes that are like, oh, the younger
sibling, like it doesn't generally get along with their
parents and like the older sibling is the conduit to that
relationship that that's not true in our in my family.

(28:26):
I also think there's like the older sibling is generally the
more stable one in terms of likejob stability or like stuff like
that. And like I feel like that's not
true either. I think there are other ways in
which the younger sibling trope does apply to me.
Oh, the fact that like I can getaway with more.
I think that is true, but I alsothink that's true because I have

(28:49):
a better. Relationship with my parents.
Interesting. OK, OK, I see.
That and then yeah. And then for Andrew, he is the
younger sibling by like, oh. So he's basically an only child.
Yeah, it's only, I mean, not. Basically, but.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's like his, his two older
siblings are like 2 years apart and then he is 7 years apart

(29:13):
from his next from the middle child.
Yeah. OK, OK.
Yeah. So that's why I think it works.
Yeah, I think that makes sense. Yeah, both of you are like non
traditional younger siblings. Yes, true.
Yeah. But anyway, And that's about us.
In fact, nobody wants that. OK, Because we're talking about

(29:36):
Morgan and Doctor Andy. How do you feel about the Morgan
and Sasha relationship? Because I feel like they have
been teasing this like since season 1.
Yes, I do think it's still lurking.
I think it's coming, especially now that, Well, OK, I was gonna

(29:57):
say, especially now that Sasha and Esther may be taking a break
from each other, It might happen.
But then Sasha said that thing at the end of the last episode,
which was like, if she thinks I'm just gonna wait around while
she figures her lifeout, she's right.
Which I thought was so sweet, but yeah.
So then I was like, oh, so is hegonna be open to exploring

(30:17):
anything, 'cause I think what I would expect to happen is that
now that he's taking a break from Esther, he and Morgan spend
more time together because they also kind of rely on each other
emotionally. And then, you know, now they're
both single. They don't want to be hanging
out with couples all the time. Then they hang out and then
they're like, maybe we should try this.
And then they date for a bit andthen they're like, we're better

(30:40):
as friends. And then they go back to being
friends. And then he gets back with
Esther and then his relationshipwith Morgan causes problems with
them and Esther. That's how I expect it to play
out. I think too, yeah, OK.
OK. I think, I think Morgan and
Sasha will like try to explore something and then absolutely
hate it and then be like, no, this was way better when we were

(31:01):
just like hanging out as friendsand like talking to each other
as friends. OK, yeah, even even though he
said that thing about waiting forever for Esther.
I'm not sure. I feel like Esther might do
something where, I don't know, like maybe she'll try like
opening the marriage or something and then she'll like

(31:22):
try dating and then Sasha will be like, OK, well, I guess if
we're like trying to date other people, I'll also try, but then
it just won't end up, well, OK. Yeah, I could see that.
OK. Can we talk about Sasha and
Esther's relationship? Yeah, let's do it.

(31:42):
OK, So I I guess maybe after this we can also talk about just
like how they've portrayed Jewish women in season 1 and
season 2 'cause I wanna talk about that.
I wanna talk about that. Maybe just focusing on Sasha and
Esther. So I thought in season 1 it was
obvious that they have settled into this dynamic where Esther

(32:03):
is the nagging wife and Sasha's the OK.
Like the I'll comply to your demanding needs, whatever.
Which I also hate that trope. But that aside, then in season
2, in the first half, I actuallythought they were being so cute
and like I was so happy for them.

(32:24):
And then something shifted. I don't know what it was, but,
you know, at some point Esther just stopped caring or
something. And I don't know when that shift
happened. I think we saw it manifest
during the Poram episode, yeah, where LAN came over to Esther
and she was like, oh, like Morgan and Sasha are talking.

(32:46):
Do you want me to break that up?And then Esther was like,
honestly, I don't really care. Yeah, yeah.
At first I was like, wow, that'sI was like, this is healthy.
But then it turned out it's like, oh, she just doesn't care
at all about him. Yeah.
Yeah. But then how?
Because, you know, we saw that episode where they're taking

(33:07):
that dance class. And then he surprises her with
that, the Seven Rings dance, which is so cute.
Yeah. And she's like, so happy.
That was Valentine's Day, right?Yeah, it was, yeah.
Yeah. So what happened between then
and episode 6, which is Perham? I think it was the whole kids
conversation because Sasha really wanted another baby and

(33:32):
then Morgan was like, I really don't.
And like, this is a fundamental disagreement that the Chester.
Sorry, yeah, Esther wanted didn't want another baby.
And I think it was because I feel like Esther was trying to
go along with this idea of like,OK, maybe we should try.
But then when she did the pregnancy test and realized that

(33:53):
she wasn't pregnant, she probably felt this overwhelming
sense of relief and was like, wow, OK, at the end of the day,
I do not want another child. And I think she was maybe trying
to convince Sasha of that, but then didn't realize how strong
her own feelings were. And then maybe Sasha, like,
didn't really acknowledge those feelings.

(34:14):
I don't know a lot of these things, like we didn't really
see explicitly. So this is just my guess, but I
think things started to go downhill.
After that, yeah, OK, OK that makes sense.
I didn't put it together that itwas the kids conversation that
maybe started shifting things cause I was like, well how did
we go from cute dance class to this?

(34:35):
So sad. Yeah, OK, yeah.
Maybe that is what they were trying to show that like he just
doesn't really see her and like appreciate her.
Maybe he's like, I want one morekid, but he's not like, I like
really want to have another kid with Esther or something.
Maybe I mean that that could be 1 thought.

(34:55):
I think, you know, their thoughtis maybe Astor was kind of like
doing the how would I feel if like this scenario happened And
she, she had that conversation with Sasha where she was like,
oh, like we're five years away from just being able to wake up
late and like go to workout classes and like, kind of like
hang out by ourselves and not beon this mom and dad schedule and

(35:19):
like we can just kind of like hang out with each other.
But maybe what she thought was, like, I'm so close to having a
life that belongs to me again. And like, I don't know if I want
to have that life with Sasha. Like, maybe that was the
calculation that was happening. But yeah, who knows, Who knows?

(35:42):
Maybe we'll get more. Of that in Season 3, yeah.
I'm really interested to see what happens.
So, you know, going into the last episode, it was like all
three couples are a bit like question mark, question mark
question. Mark Shaky.
And then, yeah. And then I really didn't think.
I thought it was going to end that Noah and Joanne break up,

(36:03):
Morgan and Doctor Andy break up,and then Esther and Sasha are
like the anchor couple that staytogether.
And so I didn't want them to end.
I was sad. Yeah, I mean, who knows, Like
maybe in Season 3 they'll find their way back to each other.
I think, I think the jury is still out.
It's not completely over. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

(36:24):
Hopefully they do. And then Speaking of Esther, I
really loved Esther's character arc this season where she
basically started the season being like, oh, Sasha thinks I'm
not fun. Nobody thinks I'm fun.
Which also kind of relates back to the whole portrayal of Jewish
women in Season 1. That was a little bit
problematic. And then she kind of gets bangs

(36:47):
and like wants to do more fun things and not goes like Queen.
Esther. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
She doesn't have to go as Queen Esther to every poem ever.
She can like go as a cat and allof these things.
I absolutely love that for her. I am so glad that she is going
through that character arc. And so I think that's going back

(37:10):
to this point about Season 1 kind of treated Jewish women
unfairly. I think Season 2 did a better
job of that. I wouldn't say they did the best
job, but I did a better job. I agree.
I agree. I'm.
I'm glad they gave her more depth than just being a nagging
wife. Yeah.
And just being like an angry Jewish woman who's like, not

(37:33):
accepting of like, yeah, I'm. I'm.
I'm really glad. And yeah, her, her happiness,
you can really see her starting to come back alive, which I am
very happy for her that that's happening.
I'm just sad it has to happen without Sasha.
But that's bad. But if that's what it takes, you
know, love that for her. Yeah.
Oh, so I do have a fun fact. So in Season 2, the show

(37:56):
actually brought on 2 Jewish showrunners for season 2.
So Jenny Connor and Bruce Eric Kaplan.
So they wanted to like, get awayfrom this problematic depiction
of Jewish people. And so they brought on these two
Jewish showrunners to have a better perspective.
Yeah. So I think they did do a good
job of that. I definitely felt like it wasn't

(38:20):
as problematic as Season 1 was, but do you feel like there is
something more that you want to see in season 3 or like do you
think they did a good enough job?
I thought they did a pretty goodjob.
I can't think of anything where I was like, oh, like, why are
they still putting the stereotype, blah, blah, blah.

(38:40):
I thought they didn't paint any of the Jewish women unfairly at
all. I actually thought they I'm.
I'm so glad they kept Rebecca inthe show because I think just
showing how she's growing outside of her relationship with
Noah is so important. Yeah, to see.
And that she was like, I'm actually really glad we broke up
because I'm having so much fun and I'm discovering all these

(39:00):
things about myself. So I thought they've done a good
job. I don't know if I have any more
criticism. How about you?
Yeah, I thought they did a a good job too.
They did kind of move away from Beena being this like evil
mother-in-law. They kind of had a little bit of
that in the beginning of the season, but they moved away from

(39:21):
it and they kind of showed her in a better light with actually
like Beena loves Morgan. Beena also like got along well
with Joanne's parents. So Beena is also starting to
come out of her shell a little bit more with respect to like,
instead of being the evil mother-in-law, she's like, I've
actually a person. Yes, yes.
And I have to say it felt very natural as well.

(39:45):
It didn't feel like, oh, they suddenly got like APC team on
board to like make everything OK.
It's like it how the character progressed felt very realistic
because she was still quite coldin the beginning.
And then, like, you know, it just showed her taking time to
open up and like, eventually shestarts accepting things, which I
think is very realistic. Yeah.

(40:06):
What do you think about Joanne'smom's spiritual awakening with
Judaism? Oh.
My God, I had the same reaction as Joanne.
I was like, oh please, lady. Like, no.
But I thought it was really funny.
And I loved Joanne's reaction, which was like, what, A, that's

(40:29):
ridiculous. B, why can't that be me?
Like, she was just so she was like, kind of jealous that her
mom was going through this, evenif it lasts like 2 seconds.
But yeah, I thought I really liked how they showed that,
Yeah. Yeah, I thought Joanne's mom
Lynn was so cute. So I loved how she was studying

(40:52):
in Judaism and she was like, test me, please.
And then they were like, OK, here's a hard one.
And then she'd knows it and they're like, Oh my God.
And then Noah was like, and if that's the case, I really think
you should have like do the yearlong course.
And then she's like, no, I want the six month.
She's a six month girl. Yeah, I also really, this is

(41:15):
like, apart from the Judaism, but I really loved how she was
like, locked into her movie during her birthday with like,
her little pink headphones and her little iPad on the bed
eating popcorn. I was like, I want to be her
when I grow up. Like I want to be an iPad
grandma. Wait, OK, I missed this scene

(41:37):
but our friend Sarah mentioned multiple times to us that she
wants to know where Lynn got that popcorn bowl from.
So I need to, I need to see thispopcorn bowl, 'cause I don't
remember it. I don't remember it either
actually. She said it was like a pillow.
I was confused. Oh my God, wait.

(41:58):
I wish I could zoom into this. Do you see this bowl?
It is a. Pillow wait, but it's like on
the stand. Yeah, oh God, my camera is going
crazy. It's it's a pillow with a bowl
inside and an iPad stand coming out of it.
What in the world? Pillow Bowl, Popcorn Stand,

(42:22):
iPad. It exists.
It exists OK, I see a team link for it.
Oh my God. Wow OK here, let me let me just
let me just present my screen. OK, This is the T move link soft
plush fabric pillow stand holderfor iPad.

(42:45):
So you can see that there's likea little bowl here and the stand
is like on the side. This is so cute.
It's. So cute Sarah, you need to buy
it. It's only 3253.
It's 78%. Off classic TAMU.
Great. Anyway, so that's that popcorn

(43:08):
stand. The mystery is solved.
Love it. OK.
So going back to the whole like Judaism thing, do you think that
Joanne will eventually convert? Good question.
OK, this this actually is 1 criticism I had of the show and
how they portrayed Judaism is her conversation with Esther

(43:31):
towards the end when Esther's like, see, you're funny, that's
Jewish and like you're, you lovetalking about other people's
business. That's very Jewish.
And it's like Judaism is more than random personality traits,
you know, And I feel like that Ididn't like that that was her
revelation point. I feel like that should have

(43:51):
been a stepping stone to be like, maybe I should open my
mind to what Judaism really means.
Maybe it's not exactly what I thought it was.
And like, maybe that could happen in the middle of the
season. And then at the end she like
realizes that she's really connecting with something from
as a story that she learns or something in the in Judaism.
But I didn't like that her big revelation was like, Oh yes, I

(44:15):
do love gossip and I am a funny person, funny cynical person.
That means I'm Jewish, like I don't know.
So that was 1 issue I had, I guess.
I don't know if she's going to convert.
I think what they're going to show in the end is that she's
not going to convert and they end up just loving each other
for who they are. And she's like come a long way

(44:37):
in, like doing Jewish things andlike understanding Judaism, but
like, she is not herself Jewish.Yeah, I, I think that's kind of
where it's leading to. I hope that's where it goes
because I agree. I think when she was like, oh,
I, I think I just moved an inch about like, oh, like Judaism is

(44:58):
looking at things from all angles.
Like, you already do that. You already look at things from
all angles. This is why I think you would be
like such a good, like, Jewish person or something.
Yeah, I agree. I think like, yeah, I think
religion is more than just these, like, random personality
traits. I feel like what they're trying
to portray is maybe so that Judaism is not this like big

(45:24):
deal in quotes and it's really more just about the community.
But I feel like the way that they said that was a little
strange in the sense of like, oh, like you like, like to know
people's business. That means you're like a
Capricorn. It's like, it kind of felt like
that. Wow.
I'm really hating on astrology catching strays.

(45:46):
But I think like, yeah, I I agree with you.
I feel like it should be more about like, this is what Judaism
means to me. You should find out what Judaism
means to you and if and if you want to convert in the end, like
you should do that. But I agree, I feel like the way
that it's going, if she convertsin a way that she explores

(46:10):
something in season 3 and then she's like, oh, this is what
Judaism means to me now I want to convert.
I think that would be a more realistic story than, like, what
people have told her, what Judaism should mean to her or
like, yeah, it's not a big deal.It's like this kind of thing
that you're already doing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

(46:31):
So unfortunately we didn't get to see what exactly her
conversation with Esther meant to her because she skedaddled
off to find Noah. Yeah, she booked it out of
there. So I guess we'll see.
Yeah, we'll see. Let me see What else did I
wanted to talk about? Oh, so speaking about

(46:53):
conversion, do you think it was fair for Noah to put conversion
or commitment to conversion on the table before they moved in
together? Oh, the.
Moving conversation. I did want to talk about this.
I think it's fair. Like I think anything is fair
before moving in together for one person to feel.

(47:15):
I agree that it shouldn't be rushed or dictated by someone's
lease situation. I just don't think he went about
it in a good way. Like he didn't really explain
any of that to her before he turned her, like very obviously
was like, no, we should not movein together.

(47:35):
Like when she was looking for apartments.
So yeah, I mean, I'm with him intheory.
I just think he went about it a really terrible way and like,
didn't communicate, which is such a theme with the two of
them. They're both like, yeah,
everything is good when it's like, obviously not good.
Yeah, like there's a big loomingelephant in the room just not
talking about. Yeah, I agree.

(47:56):
I think I, I think, yeah, I agree with you.
I don't think it was about was it fair to put conversion on the
table as the blocking point? It was more just like you should
communicate that conversion is on the table as a blocking point
to moving in together. And like, that's why you don't
want to move in together becauseyou haven't had that
conversation. Yet, Yeah, yeah.
And just explain that like, I don't want to put a time

(48:18):
timeline on your conversion. Well, maybe he did want to put a
timeline on it, but the way to communicate it the way he should
feel and the way he should communicate it is, I don't want
to put a timeline on your conversion.
However, I don't feel comfortable moving forward into
the stage where we're living together before you make that
decision. But so that there's no timeline

(48:39):
on it, I think we should table this.
Beautifully articulated. Beautiful.
Thank you. I do like in this season, like
going back to your earlier point, I do like how we're
seeing a lot more cracks in Noah's character because he's
not just the hot rabbi. He is also a person who has

(49:01):
flaws and plays basketball and stuff.
But I will say I really enjoy itwhen no one goes into rabbi mode
and he says like, Oh well, like the Torah says, all of these
things are like there is this story about accepting yourself
and accepting others. I actually really enjoy those
things. When he says that I.

(49:21):
Enjoy that, too. I think they've really shown his
connection to Judaism in such a beautiful way.
Like, he really feels it, you know?
Yeah. And like, the fact that he's
drawing comparisons to everyday situations, to things from the
Torah, like, he really feels it.And you're like, wow, you are in
the right profession. Yes.

(49:42):
And the way that he treated the conversation with Gabe.
So there is this couple, Abby and Gabe.
In the beginning of season 2, they're kind of portrayed as
this like super solid couple. But then later on in the season,
Gabe is like, oh, actually Abby and I are done.
And then Noah's like, hey, come to my office, we'll talk about
it from like, was it rabbi to parishioner?

(50:05):
Is that the right word Anyway, so like, we'll talk about it
like as your rabbi. And then they go into the
conversation with Gabe's like, let me guess, you're going to
say that marriage is a commitment and I should commit
to my to my wife. And then Noah was like, well, I
was going to say that. But at the same time, there are
like nuances and everything about a marriage, which we

(50:26):
should talk about just from all the angles, like how you feel,
how you think Abby feels like all of these things.
And that was something that Joanne kind of like told him
about, which I thought was great.
It was like, wow, even as a rabbi, he's like very open
minded and like he's approachingthis conversation in a different
way because of Joanne. So I thought that was a really

(50:47):
sweet moment. That is really sweet.
I do. OK, Actually, wait, I want, I
don't want to forget because I do want to talk about Abby and
Gabe. But on the Noah and Joanne
point, I do really like how theyclearly make each other better.
You know, like she, she doesn't steal the wine from the bathroom

(51:09):
at that pasta baking class because she's like, no, Noah's a
rabbi. We can't do this.
You know, like he's inspiring her to be a better person and
she's inspiring him to be a better person, which I really
love. Yeah, I agree.
And I think that's a hallmark ofa great relationship.
Yeah. And then going back to Abby and
Gabe. Oh my gosh.
So, fun fact, Abby is played by Leighton Meester, right?

(51:32):
Meister, Yeah, no, Meester Meester, who you probably know
as Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl.
And she is Adam Brody's IRL wife.
Yes, so fun that that shot whereshe has her arm around him as
she's talking to her followers and then she like shouts

(51:55):
something in his ear and he likelooks all uncomfortable.
I was like, I see what you're doing here, show.
Yeah, like really putting them together first.
I really like seeing them have to act as strangers.
Yeah. How long have they been married?
A while I think they have kids. I actually didn't know that they

(52:20):
were together until I started doing research for the show.
OK, their daughter was born in 2015, so they've been together.
Oh, OK, so Josh Schwartz createdboth The Office, Sorry, The
Office, The OC and Gossip Girl. Very different.
Very different. Very.

(52:41):
Different and that's when the two first met and then they
started dating in 2013 and tied the knot a year later in 2014
and then had a daughter in 2015 and.
They're still together, so 11 years now.
Wow, yeah. Oh, good for them.
Good for them. So cute.

(53:02):
Oh, I had one very small thing. You know when Noah went to his
old head rabbi's house and the rabbi was like coming out of his
scuba training thing. I like that they showed him with
his towel wrapped around his neck, kind of like the stole he
wear he wears in temple. So he still had that rabbi look

(53:23):
to him. That's true.
That's a good point. I didn't even pick up on that.
That's funny. OK.
That was all I had. Great.
OK, so alright, the three thingsthat Sarah wanted to talk about
was Judaism portrayal of women was not super fair.

(53:44):
In season 1 they went a bit softer.
OK. We talked about that.
I feel like a lot of Morgan, Joanne relationship codependency
and complexity, which I honestlydon't know that I loved.
Like Morgan was so unhappy for Joanne and then had blinders.
On in her relationship, Yeah. What are my thoughts?

(54:06):
I actually really liked how theyportrayed the sister
relationship. I thought it was pretty
realistic, especially for sisters who are pretty close in
age and like, you know, you justnaturally feel some of that
competitiveness and like where your sister is in life versus
where you are in life. And what I thought was really

(54:28):
funny and realistic was how theywere like, at each other's
throats one second, and then they're like, fine, fine, I
forgive you. I forgive you.
And then they're just eating brunch.
Yeah. So realistic.
What I didn't like was how Joanne tried on the wedding
dress during Morgan's wedding dress shopping.
I was like, really, Joanne? Seriously.

(54:50):
That was so petty. So petty.
I'm glad Morgan called her out on.
It everyone called her out on it, even the wedding dress
people were like actually it is possible for you not to try on a
wedding dress during someone else's wedding dress experience.
Like you can't just not try one on and everyone's like yes you
can. Yeah, it's actually quite

(55:11):
possible. OK, well and then the other
thing that Sarah wanted to talk about was the Morgan Sasha
situation. Oh, OK.
Which we kind of covered. Right, yeah, which we covered.
But the burning question was about the popcorn bowl, which we
which we got the team. We got to the bottom.

(55:39):
That's so funny because I didn'teven notice that, but me, he was
watching that scene. I know, me either.
Oh my gosh. But.
Did you have any other thoughts on the sister relationship?
I think, yeah, I think we probably have different
perspectives on the sister relationship just because like

(55:59):
we are both sisters, like we both have sisters, but so is
there, I think, Oh yeah. But I think our relationship
between all the sisters is like very different.
So like I think I am generally non confrontational.
So the fact that they can just like get into a fight and then
be like, I forgive you, fine. And then like start talking

(56:20):
about something else is not something that I have
experienced, I would say. But I also think it's different
because you and your sister livein the same city.
I mean, you guys live together and then like Sarah and her
sister also live in the same city.
But like I live in a different city than my sister.
I've generally lived in like very different places than my

(56:40):
sister. I think there was only like 1
year which we kind of overlappedin LA, but I'd like moved a
couple months later. So there OK, OK, anyway.
Should we rate? Yeah.
OK, I can go first since I thinkyou were first last time.

(57:02):
Sure. OK, so for quality and
enjoyment, I would say enjoymentwas a 5 out of five.
Loved it. Quality, honestly, I want to say
5 out of five, but I'm going to say 4 out of five because I
think my overall rating was likea was a nine out of 10.
OK. Yeah, I don't know what would

(57:23):
make it a 5 out of five quality maybe.
I think if there was like vastlydifferent conflict in Season 1
versus Season 2, then maybe it would be a full 10 out of 10,
but 9 out of 10 for me. OK, I was also, I was going to
give it the exact same rating, 5out of five for enjoyment, 4 out

(57:44):
of five for quality. I think for me, what was missing
was, yes, a slightly different conflict.
I feel like we kind of just camefull circle at the end of Season
2, which I'm like, what was all of this for?
And so they could have done a bit more creative thinking and
like what the main conflict of season 2 could be, or maybe just
what the resolution of the conflict in season 2 could be.

(58:08):
But otherwise pretty good season.
Loved this show. Binge the ever living shit out
of it. Yes.
Same. I think for me it was like in
two sessions, like the first session was the first half and
the second session was the second-half and I was like, yo.
I'm done. Yep, the same.

(58:30):
So yeah, I liked it. I like that they're giving more
depth to Noah's character and a little more flaws and that
Joanne, I can really tell she's maturing because I thought
Season 1 she was pretty immatureand I feel like she's not
really. I don't really think of her as
an immature this season, so. Yeah, that's true.
Yeah. I think they did a lot of things

(58:51):
right. They did a lot of like, good
character development, good portrayal of relationships and
all the nuances about it. But yeah, I agree.
I think it just all came full circle.
And even the scene, the ending scene was also so similar that I
was like, come on, guys. But I feel like, you know, I'm

(59:12):
optimistic for Season 3. I can't wait to see where that
one where that goes. Yeah, yay.
OK. All right.
Well, now it's time for Binge inProgress, the segment of our
show where we talk about things that we're watching outside of
the show that we just covered. Shailene, you want to go first.

(59:32):
Sure, the main one for me this week was I finally watched K pop
Demon Hunters. Finally, oh I don't know what.
Took me so long. Short movie.
Months. Later, Oh my God, literally
months later. I really enjoyed it.
I thought it was so cute. I can totally see why it blew

(59:53):
up. As you know I have one major
bone to pick with this movie, which is why did they never play
the full version of Golden? Because that was by far the Best
Song in the movie. Maybe that's debatable.
I thought it was by far the BestSong in the movie and I think

(01:00:14):
like her hitting that really high note in Golden should have
been the thing to seal the Han moon finally and I think that
would have. Been so much cooler to see then
the this is what it sounds like.Whatever.
Yeah. Yeah.
And then I think you had said that to both me and put him.
And then we were both like, well, we saw it when it came

(01:00:36):
out. And so we.
Didn't know the song golden. Yeah, exactly.
We didn't know about the song and we also like didn't even
clock that it hadn't finished ever in the movie.
But yeah, I think Golden was probably the Best Song for me as
well. But I really like this is what
it sounds like because it was like, oh, previously how we

(01:00:58):
sealed the Hone Moon was becauseof like hate in our hearts
versus the demons. But now it's different because
like we accept everyone for who they are.
So like this is what it sounds like when you accept people for
who they are instead of like have this one sided view about
demons. So yeah, I like the messaging.

(01:01:20):
I like the messaging. I think it could have been like
a cooler song. To see that yeah, I see that.
But yeah, I mean, Golden is the one that's the most popular song
anyway. Yeah, the whole soundtrack and
not that makes sense like. It also OK, so this is what I
was gonna say. It also makes sense that when
you guys recorded your episode, you and Izzy, I think you had

(01:01:43):
mentioned that Golden wasn't thenumber one song, and I think
it's because people just hadn't heard it yet because it wasn't
in the movie. It was in the movie, it just
never finished. Yeah.
But like the ending is like, youknow.
Yeah, that's true. Oh, well, I think that's that's
a really interesting perspective, someone who's seen

(01:02:05):
the movie months after it came out.
I posted on our Instagram and I was like, am I the only one
upset by this? And I've concluded that yes.
I am the only one that's upset by Yeah, because everyone
watched it. Yeah, yeah, although Izzy did
agree with me that Golden would have been a better song for

(01:02:27):
sealing the honeymoon, but. Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, I will. I will see what have I been
watching. Oh so ever since we got back
from India, I wanted to start a Bollywood movie night with
Andrew so that he knows all of the different Bollywood songs.
Oh my God. Yeah, that's why we must educate

(01:02:48):
him. Yes.
So we started with Bahaili, which is an interesting one to
start with because that one's the one with Shahrukh Khan and
Rodney Mcclergy. But the only reason that we
started with that one is becausewe were in Rajasthan and Bahaili
takes place in Rajasthan. So we were like, I was like
pointing out all of the different things that we saw
while we were in Rajasthan, likethe clothing and all kinds of

(01:03:08):
things. And then we recently finished
Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Gum K3G. Oh my God, a core tenet of the
Bollywood education. Core Tenet and I forgot that
Ronnie Mukherjee was also in Kabhi Kushi Kabhi.
Gum they really just recycled all the same actors for that

(01:03:30):
entire like decade so. I think the next movie that
we're gonna watch is probably OmShanti Om.
I think that's another. Oh interesting, not kuch kuch
hotai. I don't know if Kuch Kuch Hotai
is on Netflix. I was either thinking Kohonoho
or Om Shanti Om. I think Kohonoho maybe because

(01:03:51):
it has it has this kind of a safe.
I mean it has Shahrukh Khan again who is like who was in
Bahali and K3G and I guess. And in Om Shanti Om.
And in Om Shanti Om, yeah. So it's going to be a Shahrukh
Khan movie no matter what. But Yappers, let me know in the
comments if our next movie should be Colono or Om Shanti Om

(01:04:15):
or maybe a third. Hey, I don't know.
I'm open. Yeah.
I love the soundtrack to Om Shanti Om.
I think that's like one of the best Bollywood soundtracks ever
created. Like, I love Kuch, I love kabhi
Kabhi gum, but something about the own shot, the own music just
like haunts me. It's so good.

(01:04:37):
What's the what's your favorite song?
My 2 favorites, one is me Agar Kahun, which means if I say or
like if I speak and it's just like oh it's so beautiful.
It's like, it's like a really like haunting theme and then.

(01:05:02):
It's like, yeah, I remember that.
So beautiful not to. Be confused with which is, which
is from a different movie. OK, yeah, I don't know what
movie that's from. And then my other favorite is

(01:05:24):
Ajubsi, which means Strange. Oh, I love that.
One so cute basically yeah, for the translation is like there's
something strange about your eyes.
It's this really cute song that's like.
Doo, Doo, Doo. Oh, I'll call it Dirty Ajubsi.
Yes. Yeah.

(01:05:47):
So cute. Yeah.
So those are my 2 top top songs and then there are also some
bangers. Yeah, I think what I didn't like
about Om Shanti Om was the banger that's like all the cool
girls put your hands up and say,I really, I mean, like, I get it

(01:06:07):
because it was like, oh, here all the famous actors and
actresses that are now like cameoing in this movie.
And it was like a big budget, like production and everything.
But I was like, this is going onway too long and it's honestly
not that good of a song that I would want to listen to it for
like 10 minutes. Yeah, yeah, that one.

(01:06:27):
Devangi Devangi or something. Something like that, yeah.
OK, OK. Yeah.
I think it's oh, I thought it was just called Om Shanti.
Om no om shanti om song goes like.

(01:06:56):
She's still going, yes. OK.
That's when I locked into me. OK, when you said I keep.
Going yeah, haven't said. Yeah, that's when I locked in.
OK, Yes, you're right. The one is called Diwangi.
Diwangi and then I didn't know that that they disco was also
part of this. But anyway, I think man, maybe

(01:07:25):
Om Shanti Om should be next because there's there's so many
bangers. So many wedding love that movie.
Yeah, true. K3G had say Shava shava which I
was like. Explaining to him and I feel
like what's that one the. Yes, that's a good wedding thing
or two. Yes, exactly.

(01:07:48):
Yeah, I was actually when Bola Julian started, he was like,
wait, I think you showed this tome before and I was like, no, I
showed you Kangana Re by Bailey.That was the other movie that
you watched. Yeah, a lot of songs about
Bengals and Biles and Jumkas. It's all the clangy jewelry.

(01:08:12):
Yeah. What Junka?
Oh yeah, I think that's Student of the Year.
Oh, I don't think it's what Junka.
I think that's that's one of thenewer ones.
Newer as in in the last 10 years?
Yeah, see, I actually I think OmShanti Om was one of the last
Bollywood movies I watched as they were coming out and I've

(01:08:33):
fallen so behind. And Om Shanti Om came out in
2007. OK, I didn't stick with it in
high school. When did Student of the Year
came out? Student of the Year came out in
2012. Oh, too late for me.
Yeah, but those are, Yeah, they're, it's, it's the new

(01:08:53):
generation was in the student ofthe Year, which I didn't want to
see anyway. Cool.
Great. Yay.
OK, well, that was a lot of Bollywood.
I know, I don't know a. Lot of K pop and a lot of
Bollywood. A lot of international Hey
