In this episode we talk about the amazing human, Tamara O'Brien, how she brought us together, & why for the 5th straight year we have a team for Workout to Conquer Cancer, to raise money & awareness for the BC Cancer Foundation.

Tamara, a beautiful soul, a world-class athlete, an amazing friend, left the world far too soon because of cancer.

Ryan Sheehan & Arden Oh, also both world-class athletes that competed alongside her, share the impact Tamara left on them and everyone around us.

Tamara O'Brien holds a very special connection to our podcast, which we'll discuss more in a future episode with Mindy.

As fans of hip hop, and fans of music, we had to talk about what's going on.

The "Me Too" movement from several years ago brought light to women who were put in uncomfortable situations which put their careers in jeopardy.

The recent developments around Diddy & Bad Boy records is showing that men have also been in these uncomfortable positions and have yet to share their stories.

Since recording this episode- J Cole has released an album, took shots at Kendrick, and has even since said he feels bad.

We didn't know how many people would talk to us, we (Harmol) didn't know how to use a camera, and we barely knew what we wanted to ask.

But... we hit the streets to see who would speak with us and share what they felt was important and isn't being talked about enough.

We realized pretty quickly that maybe this was too deep of a question to start off with.. so started them more light hearted.

By an overwhelming majority, the answers were always along the lines of.. The city is hard to make friends in, it's way too expensive, but it's damn beautiful.

Should we do street interviews again? If so - let us know what we should ask!

In this episode we have a raw, open chat with the artistic human- Daksh Kubba. He brings with him a different energy to the podcast that we haven't yet experienced.

Daksh's beautiful music is created with honest, authentic emotion. It's his escape and the path he takes to set himself free.

From an upbringing that was far from ideal, a move from India to Canada at 18, to now being the inspirational artist he is today- Daksh's story is one we can all learn from.

Thank you Daksh for being your authentic self with your words, notes, and your burps.

A continuation of getting scammed... but this time not pyramid schemes, but instead our experiences with.. phone scams.

Do you believe in Psychics? We have some thoughts... but we have no idea what we're talking about..

We all go through different kinds of grief, Harmol shares his personal experience losing his first family pet turtle, Tank.

RIP to Tank who tragically passed away last year 💜.

Harmol got scammed.

But it wasn't as bad as it was for some people...

All communities are suffering from this epidemic that is... Pyramid Schemes.

He shares his experience so he can prevent others from making the same mistake.

These companies, including World Financial Group (WFG), Primerica, Wake Up Now, Amway, ACN, IM Academy, and so many more to name... have enough power & influence that they can continue to offer up a "business opportunity" where statistically 99% of people lose more than they earn 😨.

Look, neither of us are experts on the topic.

This is why we referenced clips from the MLM GOAT @alwaysmarco. He had to leave Canada so he could continue to speak the truth about these companies. Go watch his mini docs, they're great, and may get taken down soon.

Also shout out to Kiki Chanel on YouTube; we used one of her videos of a Zoom call for MLM members. Watch the full videos to really see how dark they are.

See you all next week!

What on earth can Dababy & Canadian Blood Services have in common? Raj might be on to something.

Shout out to @creatorsbycass who joined us for a light-hearted discussion around her personal experiences & rise on TikTok.

From a Clinical Counseling degree, to a corporate gig in marketing, to quitting & doing content creation full-time, Cass has a wealth of knowledge to share.

We had a blast. We hope you enjoy it too!

PS- 30 minutes in our audio stopped recording. We tried to start up again and couldn't stop laughing for 15 minutes, then we tried again for a 3rd time, which is most of what you're seeing. We're rookies, but we're learning!

Would you rather have an AI significant other for life, or an arranged marriage?

We had too much good content with @kylebhawan, so we're releasing the rest of our chat. Enjoy.

Imagine finding love online with an AI, and then having them break up with you overnight with no notice. These apps are controversial, but they've also made a very positive impact on many people.

In Indian culture, especially for our parents' generations, not only were there no dating apps... there was no dating. We discuss how we would navigate that if we were in the situation today.

Oh, and we talk about Raj's toilet.

In today's society, there's no need to be spreading divisiveness, especially in our very own communities.

It's hard to believe that the occupation of our great grandparents still impacts who should marry who. When you say it out loud, it sounds just as silly as it really is. It may have made sense many years ago in India, but there's no place for it in the western world.

Then there's Indian dating apps doubling down and spreading racism & discrimination in hopes they can have their viral moment and make some money.

Shame on anyone that's promoting this behaviour.

Shout out to @kylebhawan for joining us today. What a legend.

We're not sure how long this pause will be. We hope to be back soon. Thanks for all the love. We appreciate each of you.
