we always hear about living it up in NYC, but how about the horror stories?! we've never opened up about getting scammed out of thousands of dollars trying to get an apartment, home invasions and living in the red light district, psychotic neighbors, and it's finally time. we can't have the good without experiencing some of these very humbling things so we hope you learn from our mistakes and enjoy!!

we always hear stories about people losing their identities when they get into relationships where they stop hanging out with their friends because they get too comfortable with their partners or they don't make time for the things they love doing anymore. we've seen our immigrant mothers sacrifice their livelihoods for the sake of the family and we are ending that toxic cycle!!! in this episode, we talk about the importance of separate time and hobbies in a relationship with our experiences in solo traveling, individual passions, and more. does this mean u love your partner any less? should spending time alone feel scary?? all questions answered and we hope u enjoy this one!!

do brown aunties and uncles just gossip and judge? this episode may ruffle some of y'alls feathers because we talk about some good contributions that they have made to society. we're talking about the cool family members who you feel comfortable opening up to, who built cities like Jackson Heights with little to no money, organizing community picnics, and more. this one is soooo funny so we hope u enjoy!!

its true its true we went all the way out to toronto, canada to speak with the one and only dameer khan! dameer is musician, global dj, and all around artist, but at the core is someone who so passionately represents bangladesh, its people, its culture, and is on a golden path to sharing it all with the world

in this episode, we let dameer have the floor and tell us about the reality of life in bangladesh, its political situation, and all of the things our people have to speak up about, but also telling us about all the beautiful things our people and culture have attached to them. we talk modernizing bangla music, building real infrastructure, the underground rave culture in bangladesh, and all in all this is dameer's attempt at finding a wife for his US visa tbh

this one's very special and we wholeheartedly hope you enjoy :)

we are in the engaged era and in the initial stages of wedding planning and OOF - we are stressed. in this very vulnerable tell ALL episode, we are talking about the behind the scenes of wedding planning. no one tells you about the financial stressors, societal and familial pressures and expectations on what it's supposed to look like, who NOT to invite and if we even have a say over that, and so much more when it comes to these very glamorized wedding events. buckle in because this is a good one!
