"Something I've noticed is a lot of people don't really have a brotherhood. It's a group of friends where there's a time and place to joke around, but when it really hits you it's like 'where is that brotherhood that will guide me and support me through all this stuff,' right?"
- Muhk

In this episode of TURN Sports, Muneeb takes the reigns and is joined by the guys from The Modern Brown Men podcast where they discuss mental health in the  South Asian community, inspirations for their podcast and their relationship with sports.

They start by giving a description of the Modern Brown Men Podcast and discussing the initial hesitation (3:04). They then discuss why they started the podcast (3:54) and how long they've been at it (6:34). This leads into a conversation about their quick success (7:48) and inspiration they took from other creators (9:36).

The conversation then turns to their relationship with sports, starting with high school basketball (12:04), eventually turning to Muhk's journey to becoming a Punjabi commentator (13:57). It then turns to how important Punjabi commentating is for getting South Asian people more interested in these sports (16:21). Then they discuss the potential the Stingers have going forward (23:33) and who they think is the best player/best play (26:08). The topic then moves on to discussing the NBA and their favourite teams (28:42).

They then discuss Ikem's journey into sports commentating in Punjabi (30:15), leading into a discussion about Edmonton's sports community, focusing on soccer (32:24). They then chat about Ikem's work as a Stingers player liaison (34:00) and his failure to get into the NBA (36:02). Which then leads into a discussion about becoming an agent for new players (37:25), ending off talking about NIL (39:57).
