In this one we reveal how utterly terrible the state of representation is for Indian food in this country. Indian restaurants are mostly trash, catering to white ppl and taking shortcuts because people don’t know any better! Lots to unpack in this one, but rest assured we put on our hater hats (always with love) and let the riffs flyyyyy!

This is the first of our “Stereotype” series where @usamastandsup and @pranahaha interview various “brown” stereotypes to go beyond the cliches and engage real people to tell us their universally human stories. In this episode we interview Uber driver Jatin Jani. Jatin patiently endures our company while telling us his story of immigrating from Gujarat to New Jersey in the 80s—the hardships he faced and overcame to build a life for himself and his family, his perceptions of “stereotypes”, and even sings for us a bit. Jatin’s a real one so he doesn’t have social media, but you should stay following us @pranahaha @usamastandsup @yourmangobae.

@pranahaha and @usamastandsup talk GOING HOME—back to that place which never was, food as home, how it defines you, how we regress, old friends vs. new life, but I promise it’s not that serious, we still bring you the wildfire in this hilarious episode!

Indians in India acting white, Indians in America acting too brown—we unpack it all in hilarious form!

We talk about cultural retention—Maintaining traditions and a desi identity in America and in a globalized world in general—Too brown Desis in the west and white desis in the subcontinent. 

Part two of our banger with Zubi where we chop it up on body shaming desi moms, differing beauty standards for brown men vs women, parental martyrdom, their obsession with death, eternal disappointment—ITS VERY FUN!!!

Zubi came back—come have fun with us!

Oh, you KNOW we’re talking the Don Don Da Da, @yourmangobae boys @pranahaha and @usamastandsup go OF on DJT, politics, and the 2020 election in ways unheard of—truly a special, don’t miss episode with all the wildfire you love. Follow us on all socials and write us a review here!

Mango Bae’s talk POVERTY—American poor vs Indian poor, their own bouts of poverty, and lots of hilarious, wild goodness. This episode will make you rich.
