In a Good Way

The experience of recording this podcast has meant a lot to Pratik and I. This event is a culmination of our time recording podcasts with great friends and delving deeper into topics we are passionate about. We had some amazing panel guests at the event:

Stars of the Past: Madison and Abhi

Ethics Panel: Rajiv, Rekha, and Rishit

Culture Panel: Shabaaz, Hannah, and Nikolai

Fact Checkers: Praneeth, Hamza, and Nikhil

We had a real live studio audience!!!

We discussed the pros and cons of 5G, caucuses vs primaries, and how to embrace new culture while appreciating the old. There was also an open Q&A and snacks (including Pickle Rick Pringles) for people who attended.

A Valentine's Day special that doesn't come out until the 17th!!!! Enjoy our discussion with two guests we've been planning on for a while. Any laughter can be blamed on Raiyyan (or Imran) playing with a guitar stand that was nearby. Imran shows us his rock playlist in this one.

We discussed relationships in the modern era, the evolution of the hierarchy of needs, and genres of music.

We avoided crunching any ice for over forty minutes!!! Ignore Nikolai at the end of the episode... do not message him haha. We hope you enjoy this slightly shorter In a Good Way!

We discussed the global significance of memes, our favorite musicians, nationalism vs globalism, and Valentine's Day.

Go to Roundnet Club at Plano East on Wednesdays at 4:30. There's a lot of serious stuff that gets unpacked here. Full disclosure: we recorded one minute of content and then the mic cut off but we didn't know until a few minutes later so we had to restart. The second take that you get to hear is better so be thankful for the technical difficulties. Who knew crunching and dropping ice was so funny? It really made us laugh way too much!

We discussed the decline in viewership of live sports and attention span, historic black colleges and universities, the power of words, and social media.

WE'RE BAAAAACK FROM AN ACCIDENTAL HIATUS! Back and better than ever (according to our current guests). We even brought in a live studio audience so that you would know to laugh at any bad jokes. On a more serious note, this was recorded in Studio 27J on Friday and the description is being written on Sunday the 26th. RIP Kobe, you will be missed. Such a great basketball player and man.

We discussed whether or not you need to agree with an artist to appreciate his or her music, Roko's Basilisk (Pratik's new nightmare <3), how childhood events can affect your future, and our favorite sitcoms and tv shows. As for the baby lions... you'll just have to listen and see!

Abhi gets deep in this one, broh (sorry Adult Swim for ripping off the Hulu Rick and Morty descriptions). This will be our last episode of the year - more to come in the new year. We love all of you who listen to this. Especially the people who read the descriptions. Please continue listening so we can continue loving you. Submit questions over the break to get well thought out answers.

We discussed free speech on college campuses, social media, the cinema of marvel movies, and more. Good luck with any new year's resolutions!

Pratik was finally able to talk more about Kanye (and some other musicians he loves). Atharv knew that I could make cuts but did not request them as frequently as Madison did. We also give more relationship advice from Atharv. This advice will not help you date Pratik (look at the last episode for that). I think Pratik regrets letting me make these descriptions :)

We discussed Jay-Z and the cultural importance of hip hop, the pros and cons of record labels, the NCAA monopoly on college sports, relationships, the Dallas Cowboys, and some Kanye.

PS. sorry for the extra week of break... there were scheduling conflicts - message us how we can make it up to you

I made the mistake of telling Madison that we could cut audio out of the final product. We made about 50% of the requested cuts. Please convince Madison to let us release the unedited version! We know dating can be like playing Monopoly (ugh) so find out what advice Madison and Jenny have for you (We give advice too - but it’s not as good). Ultimately, you should listen to this one if you want to learn how to date Pratik <3 

(Pratik does not approve of this message - help)

We discussed the pros and cons of Tik Tok, personality tests, love advice, and first dates. This will be our last episode until after Thanksgiving so enjoy your turkey or vegan turkey substitute!
