Episode 79: Some Desi Psychology 23.07.2021

There's nothing we love more than psychoanalyzing our own people and the latest episode of Family Karma gave us plenty to psychoanalyze! From Monica's parents to Lopa's estranged daughter to Brian's lady troubles - Family Karma delivers again! Check out https://cleaningupforcancer.org for more information on Cleaning Up For Cancer .

Episode 78: PHD in Candles 21.07.2021

We finally finished up the emotionally exhausting reunion of Married to Medicine (5:17). We talk about how Noor's theory about London being a production plant on Shahs of Sunset (15:09) is no long a theory, and actually just a fact. And of course, we talk about Karen Huger trying to convince us she and Ray still bone despite no one asking if they do, amongst other things on Real Housewives of Poto...

Episode 76: 4 degrees and 2 boobs w/ Kim Knight (@spicedbykim) 14.07.2021

Friend of the podcast and our real lives Kim Knight (@spicedbykim) hopped on to talk about the FIERY premiere of Real Housewives of Potomac, the agonizing Married to Medicine Reunion part 2, and the oddest Friendsgiving on Shahs of Sunset.

Episode 74: We are all Brahm 09.07.2021

Family Karma as usual is making us cry (thanks Nani Jaan!), but also making us cackle (thanks Chitra!). We're talking about Nani's special moment with Nicholas, the struggles of overbearing parents, and aiming to get to the Chitra and eventually Nani phases of our lives when we say FUCK IT let people live! 

Episode 73: We don't know everything 07.07.2021

We are recapping Married to Medicine Reunion Part 1, which aired approximately 100 years ago. We are also addressing our last episode in which we placed our feet directly inside of our mouths. We are also for some fucking reason discussing Grey's Anatomy in the first 3 minutes of the episode, and maybe sharing a spoiler that isn't actually a spoiler for anyone who has watched the show beyond 5 sea...

Episode 72: Vertigo Szn 03.07.2021

Weekly RHOBH and RHONY roundup! 

Episode 71: He is my love 02.07.2021

We are crying about I mean talking about Family Karma S2S4 and S2S5 and putting into the Universe that Family Karma should win every television award available because holy crap what an amazing show! 

Episode 70: Cannapuss 01.07.2021

We are back and talking about Shahs of Sunset (9:45) and last week's RHOBH (30:00) where Erika fed us enough lies to be mildly fooled but actually not and what we've been up to while we were away!

Episode 69: Masculinity so toxic 23.06.2021

Pull out your jade (or Nurse Jamie!) rollers friends because ugh the levels of toxic masculinity are at an all time high on the season finale of Married to Medicine (27: 50) and Destiney's Halloween party on Shahs of Sunset (2:15).

Episode 68: Welcome back fancy pants! 19.06.2021

We are talking about the eventful week of all things Housewives from the shakeup in OC (1:20), Housewife & the Hustler (9:02), psychoanalyzing Crystal on RHOBH (16:15), and Leah the toddler on RHONY (31:29). 

Episode 67: Richa deserves betta 18.06.2021

We're talking Family Karma S2E3 which means we're diving deep into the festival of Navratri, explaining Garba, and also making a case for why Richa is too fucking dope for a putz like Vishal. 

Episode 66: What can I Fans Only for you? 16.06.2021

We recap our epic weekend of too much socializing, the lackluster episode of Married to Medicine (10:26) and the cultural appropriation bonanza on Shahs of Sunset (29:22)

Episode 65: Slow your roller Holla Mama 12.06.2021

We're talking all things RHOBH (4:00) and RHONY (26:05) which happens to be filled with white ladies doing the most to be the worst. Enjoy!

Episode 64: One Tight Slap 11.06.2021

We're breaking down the Auntie Party and Auntie dynamics on S2E2 of Family Karma, from Bollywood songs, to Lopa's sinister giggle, to Reshma's lack of eye contact with Bali and the muscle memory of a tight slap.

Episode 62: Fragility so white 05.06.2021

What a week of problematic behavior it has been! We are diving into RHOBH (4:00) Kathy first and unfortunately into RHONY (23:48) curry first.

Episode 61: Not a prick tease! 04.06.2021

Surprise! Family Karma is back! So we dropped a new weekly episode to talk about Family Karma! We're not sure if this will be weekly but the premiere was so juicy and content rich we needed to put some respect on its name. The whole gang is back and as Aunties ourselves, we had to spend some time psychoanalyzing the whole cast like local busy bodies at the masjid/mandir. 

Episode 60: Smash the pup-triarchy 02.06.2021

**TRIGGER WARNING** We talk about the RHONJ Reunion and how terribly they presented the sexual harassment in the workplace discussion from 7:20 to 15:12. Feel free to skip ahead! Aarti is back! We talk about a lot of things that don't always flow into each other but we do laugh along the way. Timestamps: Married to Medicine: 21:12 Shahs: 40:48

Episode 54: We recorded this before Porsha stole her friend's man 12.05.2021

We are just managing expectations friends! We talk about RHOA Reunions (2:15) and briefly touch on the Porsha-Simon-Falynn-Maybe-Pregnancy of it all but are mostly conspiracy theorizing because we recorded on Monday afternoon before we got confirmation that Porsha set a fire to everything. We also talk Summer House reunion part 2 (15:30) and the latest Married to Medicine (37:00) where Quad killed...
