Sandeep 7:24

It's a , it's a group of states , but if I swear , if you can find my mom , she will give you some from her chevdo . Though , if you're unfamiliar is , uh , maybe it's called Chevdo for people . We call it chevdo . I don't know if that's the right . I don't know what's right or wrong about how to say anything , but that's what we would say , and it's basically like checks mix with spices .

Omar 7:44

Yes , it's like hot .

Sandeep 7:45

It's like a hot mix , but it's sort of my mom's special brand of that , because she just uses uh uh cereals that are about to go about to go stale before they do . Yeah .

Omar 7:57

That's the way to do it . That's , that's true . Yeah , amazing . Well , thank you to our three sponsors this week . I think it's time to hop into our first segment .

What's Got Us Confused? #1 - BAPS Robbinsville

Sandeep 8:06

Yeah , oh , there , it is , there it is Uh we're talking by that . What's got us confused this week , all right . So story number one the world's largest Hindu temple outside of India Okay In the modern era , okay To be is to be inaugurated on October 8th in New Jersey . So that was . This happened a few days ago and I think it opens up pretty soon .

Omar 8:32

This has been like all over the news right .

Sandeep 8:34

This has been all of the well , yes , it's been all the news for for lots of reasons , okay , um , and I'm going to get into that and why we're a little bit confused about it . First , what what this is about . By the way , this is , when I say the , the world's largest and I had those qualifiers this is still the second largest outside of anchor want , okay , in the world . Um , so it is Huge . This is not like you know . This is we're talking uh , I , I , I . Well , I thought I had the number , but I don't , but it took 12,500 volunteers to build this thing . Oh , yeah .

Sandeep 9:11

I see you're on 183 acres of land . What's in New Jersey ? What ? Okay , um , it's an . It's , it's a Swaminaraian Akshidam temple , uh , which , if you've been to the Akshidam temples I have been to the Akshidam temples in India they're , they're wild , yeah , wild , like they basically took a page out of Disney , like they went , they went and visited Disney at one point and they were like we should make this , but for Hindu temples . So that's what they there's like rides . It's wild , dude . Um , it includes 10,000 statues and statuettes , 10,000 . Yeah , one main shrine , 12 sub shrines , nine Shakars , which are the spire like structures , nine pyramidal yeah , pyramidal , sure , pyramidal pyramidal , okay , shikars . And , and the largest elliptical dome of traditional stone architect architecture ever constructed , yeah , and it's designed to last a thousand years . So this thing is built to last at . It's a unbelievable maintenance plan . Uh , they're not gonna have to repaint this thing for a thousand years . I don't know what that means when someone , something , is designed to last a thousand years , but that is you didn't get that package when you got your house .

Sandeep 10:32

No , we just resided our our house . And no , it's not . It's gonna last seven years , I believe . It's gonna be open for visitors starting up October 18th . So this is wild . The temple carvings are not just of , like , hindu deities okay , they're of historical figures like Martin Luther King Jr .

Omar 10:51

Oh , okay , lincoln and stuff .

Sandeep 10:55

Yeah , famous Theses , and at least on the inside for sure , and you know the court is saying , when you come to the Monday , you'll see people of all genders , all cast and social backwards , living , eating , praying , loving and serving together . That was a big part of this , actually , was that that ? You know there's all these volunteers that devoted hours of their selfless time to make this thing happen , and they range from like 18 year olds to 60 year olds students , ceos , doctors , engineers , architects Some of them like taking leave from work for months and then renting condos nearby to then like and uh , notably , there was like teams of women volunteers , which this is notable because , I'll Hindu temples often exclude women in their construction .

Omar 11:43

Yeah , and so this is very inclusive of them .

Sandeep 11:46

So all all these kind of good sort of progressive things , but , but , and a big but Is that the , the temple , made headlines when a group of immigrant laborers sued the , the organization , accusing them of learning Indian men from marginalized communities to the US and forcing them to work for nearly 90 hours a week for around one dollar an hour . So big , big old but there . So that's not great . Not great . There was a lawsuit that alleged that there were shocking conditions , including forced labor , grueling work hours in hospitable living conditions and caste discrimination . Okay , so not great , right , not great .

Sandeep 12:27

Here's where it gets even more kind of confusing . Okay , the organization said , you know , they came back and they said , listen , the workers were volunteers . Their families , you know , were well taken care of in India . We took care of them here . They came on their own volition . Uh , activists say kind of , Uh , even if so , there's still this , like you know , the raising questions about the line between religious service and worker exploitation , which the Dalit communities are sort of especially vulnerable to .

Sandeep 12:55

Um , and then here's the kicker for me . So I I was starting to do a deeper dive and like , okay , so where did this land this ? Like lawsuit , like it's a class action lawsuit , like did it actually , uh , you know , go against them because , like there's not much , you know , they're not talking about that much . So here's what happened in July In a surprising turn of events , the plaintiff's legal team just filed a request to withdraw the lawsuit and they there aren't , they aren't specifying what the reasons behind that decision are . Okay , so the lawsuit is just poof gone , um , and then there was a pr statement from that organization that said there was a deep-rooted conspiracy to stall Hindu temple projects and this was one of them , essentially and that the plaintiffs were mislead with false temptations . So basically , like some version of like hey , hey , you guys , you know you can make a lot of money if you , if you join this class and say that you were mistreated Is what they are alleging . So it's this whole underlying scandal , um , that they're kind of you know okay .

Omar 14:02

So here's the thing , folks at the end of each of these stories , we get to rate them as uh , we now feel informed , baffled or more confused .

Sandeep 14:11

Oh , it's informed , yeah , informed . Still confused or baffled ?

Omar 14:14

baffled is the worst . Yeah , baffled is the worst yeah um where are you landing ? Still confused . Still confused still confused , not quite baffled , but still confused . This is one that I , you know , I was like oh it , you know it's a small world , but , uh , a temple and now I'm kind of like okay .

Sandeep 14:35

This is kind of a david fincher movie well , it's interesting , like because If it was in seva or like doing selfless work . Yes , was a big part of like my life growing up . It was always like preach to me that you know , you should give 10 percent of everything you make to charity . You should , like , you know , spend weekends , at least one weekend a month , like doing some seva , some selfless work .

Sandeep 14:59

Like , whether that's like cleaning up an old lady's backyard or like , or , you know , going to the local temple and serving food or whatever it is . Um , and so I know it's like sort of a part of the culture . It's sort of interesting , though , when this , this gray line between sort of hey , you should do seva , and like you , better do seva , yeah , um , otherwise you will be , you know , uh , reincarnated as a uh inch worm and your family is gonna be , you know , not well taken care , like when there's like some sort of Undue pressure on the other side , uh , of that selfless work .

Sandeep 15:33

So I don't , you know , this obviously falls into that sort of gray area . Uh , I guess .

Omar 15:43

Additionally , then we have the layer of the lawyers being like no one said inch worm .

Sandeep 15:48

Yeah , yeah .

Omar 15:50

So okay , yeah , so can we just have a you .

Sandeep 15:54

So , listen , I think I'm I'm also in this still confused . I mean , here's the thing like , whenever I did , whenever I decided to do community service work , I'm never I would . It would take a lot for me to be falsely tempted To then be like you know what that temple is mistreating me , or that soup kitchen is really mistreating you know what I mean ? Mm-hmm , mm-hmm . Like you're you probably Like there has to be some kernel of truth . I think to be an exploited worker .

Sandeep 16:23

You know to be like yeah , you know what , I am kind of being mistreated and this is a weird arrangement .

Omar 16:28

Yeah .

Sandeep 16:29

And yeah , I want to explore the idea of there being recompense for that . I don't know .

Omar 16:35

Interesting , interesting Well still confused .

Sandeep 16:37

I'm just gonna say still confused .

Omar 16:40

Well , our next

What's Got Us Confused? #2 - ICC World Cup

Omar 16:41

Omar 16:49

The cricket world cup started on October 5th . Um and uh , it's ending with the final on November 19th . Do you follow cricket , Are you ?

Sandeep 16:57

cricket guy I . You know . The only time I ever follow cricket is when I and when I'm in India on a trip and then like just Happen to get pulled into whatever exciting thing is going on in them right , but I don't follow it no .

Omar 17:08

It's a . It's it's a . In case you don't know , it's a massive sport . It's a worldwide massive sport , I'm aware , with millions upon millions upon millions of fans who tune in to watch , and there's a lot of people talking about cricket right now because the Olympic committee Is considering putting cricket in the Los Angeles games , so which would ? Which would open up the olympic games to , you know , bigger audiences and I'm definitely going in the in my backyard .

Omar 17:40

I'm there , yeah and you can just watch some cricket . I mean , you'll , yeah , actually watch out . It's actually a dangerous sport and your house is a little bit in danger .

Sandeep 17:47

Um , got it from foul balls ? Yeah , well , there's no foul balls , because the whole , the whole thing's in a circular pitch . You can hit it . Well , it's not .

Omar 17:54

Yeah , there's no foul balls actually , but it you can get knocked in the noggin um fair , but the um where ? With the Uh cricket world cup happening right now , there's a little confusing spin on this story . Are you ready for this ?

Sandeep 18:08

Oh , okay , yeah , I'm ready .

Omar 18:09

Uh , with surging tickets , ticket prices , airfare and hotel prices , a lot of folks are being like how can I , you know , go attend the world cup ? How can I go see cricket , right ? Sure , how do I make ends meet ? Uh , several doctors have told local media , and I quote we have come across some cases of people coming to watch the india pakistan match , also taking an appointment for health checkups and staying in hospitals .

Sandeep 18:34

Okay , so they're getting there ? Uh , they're getting their annual . Turn your head in cough and stay in the room with the tv . In the waiting room . Uh kind of brilliant .

Omar 18:50

How do we feel about turning hospitals into accommodations ?

Sandeep 18:54

Oh , my gosh , I mean Listen , um , as a good drat the . I understand wanting to be as cheap as possible , and you know I mean . Listen , I wouldn't put past my parents that we'd be on a road trip and end up in a hospital waiting room . It just wouldn't surprise me if that happened .

Omar 19:17

We are the people who , when we go to a fast food place and you're getting a giant bucket of soda for a dollar , Uh , our families will go no ice .

Sandeep 19:26

So you know yeah , yeah , exactly , oh yeah , Um , and I'll take all your packets . Yes , sauce , yes .

Omar 19:34

I keep them in my glove compartment and you're like the plastic it's gonna poison you , um , but that's not what matters , it's the principle of it . Um , so , yeah , uh , so , anyhow , uh , in order to make accommodations for the uh cricket world cup , folks are checking into hospital . How do we feel about this ? Do you feel informed ? Do you feel still confused ? So do you feel bad ?

Sandeep 19:52

I'm not confused or baffled . I'm informed that that is informed right . I now know the way to get cheap accommodations . Um , not saying that this is a good idea . You shouldn't do this . This is bad for hospitals hospitals .

Omar 20:03

Probably shouldn't , but you know that the doctors reporting this are all like I mean , I get it , I do it .

Sandeep 20:09

Yeah , I know for sure . Um , I think what would get me into cricket would be like if they did like fantasy cricket . You know what I mean I want to do . Yeah , I'm sure there's a thing you know what get me into cricket ?

Omar 20:22

What ? No , no , maybe a little surgery . We're going in for a surgery .

little recovery for two days , get the way , like if you see the little yellow cups , just watch it just lay back into the cricket , just a little , you know let's do it , man , me and you , let's hit up Cedar Sinai and just kind of can you imagine , get rooms next to each other , get the cricket nose job .

Sandeep 20:46

All right for our next

What's Got Us Confused? #3 - Apple IPhone 15 in India

Sandeep 20:48

story story , numero trace . It's the story of one iPhone factory Powering Apple's pivot to India . Story is so . This factory is run by Foxconn and it's located in and I'm sorry I'm gonna say this wrong , but shri perambudder Shri perambudder , maybe an industrial at town in Tamil Nadu . It's one of the most Apple's most important iPhone assembly hubs outside of China , and that's the big part of this . It's outside of China . The factory is one of the biggest iPhone plants in India , with 17,000 employees who churn out 6 million iPhones every year . Okay , so here's the crazy thing that most of the 232 million iPhones sold in last , last year , in 22 came from factories in China . But you know , politics with China not so great , right like Remember , biden was like I'm gonna defend Taiwan and China was like I'm gonna totally attack Taiwan .

Omar 21:54

Yeah , and you know we have .

Sandeep 21:57

We're staring down the barrel of a potential . It's really scary kind of World War there , and that's not just scary for the world but also for Apple , the .

Omar 22:06

Apple's also a little scary .

Sandeep 22:08

importantly , yeah , more importantly for Apple , because , look , there are 2.7 trillion dollar business and they manufacture all their stuff in China , so they're trying to hedge their bets , basically , yeah , so that's why they're betting on India . So in April this year , right , tim Cook flew to India . He met with the Prime Minister , modi , and he was like I'm gonna invest in this country . And Modi was like , well , oh great , then make a factory here . And they did , and they're now assembling the new iPhone 15 . So here's what's confusing , or what the drop X are about this Okay , is that Foxconn has a history of Lopez who knew , who knew the name , like Foxconn who would that ?

Sandeep 22:50

So 159 factory workers are hospitalized and food poisoned , mm-hmm , at the at their like subcontract provided , hostile , yeah , it's . It set off waves of protests that drew media attention , attention to their squal living conditions . So it's the classic story of , you know , terrible working conditions for an exploiting the worker class , yeah , right . And so , look , we might be happy that , like , investments are moving into India and , you know , diversifying away from China , but probably not great if they're just gonna keep treating workers like garbage , huh . Yeah , yeah because maybe the general Way take away .

Omar 23:32

I'll be honest , I'm feeling informed .

Sandeep 23:34

I'm feeling informed too . Yeah , I'm not . I'm not necessarily confused by this . It's more like , yeah , you know , it's when you really start thinking about the stuff that we consume and enjoy , mm-hmm , you know , off the backs of People that are totally exploited . You're kind of like all so that I can send out a WhatsApp .

Omar 23:57

Sit to organize a pickleball game , yeah , yeah so that I can have , like my nephew , pretend to be like a panda bear talking emoji . Yeah , not great Thank you , thank you , thank you . That's my job again . I worked there .

Omar 24:15

Yeah yeah , informed , and a lot to think about , especially with this , you know , talking about workers rights on a large scale right now . So , yeah , well , now we're gonna

What's Got Us Confused? #4 - India is Bharat?

Omar 24:27

move on to our last new segment here , where we're gonna figure out if we're , you know , informed , so confused or baffled by . William Shakespeare famously said , what's in the name , and I'm here to say a lot Will , okay quite a bit well Recently asked and answered , asked and answered .

Omar 24:45

Thank you . Next , I can do this all day , will I ? During the G20 summit in Delhi , this is on in early September , do you remember this ? We talked about the G27 ? Oh , we sure did . We had the giant cardboard lunges . Yep , prime Minister Modi Was sitting behind a name plate . Mm-hmm , what do you think that name plate was right ? They sit behind the name of their country . What would it be ?

Sandeep 25:13

I'm gonna take a wild stab . Go ahead . I said it was India . You fool , what ? Why would ?

Omar 25:20

you think that ? Why would you assume that ?

Sandeep 25:24

Fella to your trap .

Omar 25:25

Yes , my very shallow with like all the side like a loony tunes , like just go in here like coyote , please just fall in .

Sandeep 25:34

Was it like India , the best country in the world ? They just spell out like his belief .

Omar 25:39

You know what ? Here's the thing you're not too far off it was India rules .

Sandeep 25:42

Was it India rules ?

Omar 25:44

It's pretty close with the Z at the end . Yeah , I .

Sandeep 25:48

Do Z's , let's get crazy .

Omar 25:50

India rules Brazil drills . He was sitting behind a placard that read barat oh yeah , sure , uh-huh . This is a Someone argue a return to some traditional naming conventions for the land known as India . It is not being done in official capacity , yes , but it going home to butter . It's not an official name change because that would require an amendment to the Constitution , which would need to be passed by a two-thirds majority in both houses of parliament . A lot of paperwork , Lot of red tape a lot of red tape .

Omar 26:28

Leave it up to Modi to be like .

Sandeep 26:29

I'll just cut through it by doing something and all the maps that will have to change .

Omar 26:33

Oh my , yes , yes but here's the thing , right , right , here's the thing . Yeah , india is a colonial name . Okay , it was given to us by the Brits , so , but it is actually a return to pre-colonial times right .

Sandeep 26:47

So this is , like you know , mumbai , right ?

Omar 26:51

Yes , all Mumbai , instead of Bombay , and except that's not exactly true because , go on , the name of India actually kind of predates the British colonial rule . In fact , travelers as far as ways that ancient Greece will refer to the region , as in this , and India , just because of the valley in this valley .

Sandeep 27:11

So , like it's like yes , I remember even Hindu came from that , right like calling someone . They'll just say they'll call every anybody from the other side of the valley . Yes , Hindus , yes , and that's where that came from ?

Omar 27:25

Yes , exactly , exactly , exactly , and but it itself is Is incredibly old . It comes from ancient Indian scriptures , but the term was mostly used as a socio-cultural identity rather than a geography Rather than the place . So even in the old text where it's found , it's not used as a name for what is currently being called India . So how you feeling about this ? You feeling informed ? You feel still confused , you feel a little baffled .

Sandeep 27:53

I Mean listen , my my dad's been saying this forever , like we should change the name from India to , but this is the real Motherland it's called , but I am surprised to find that you gave me some extra context on that . But , also , like you know what people I mean . There's all sorts of Crazy ways and reasons that we name things the things we named them , right .

Delvan 28:17

So I'm just saying it's , I Guess .

Sandeep 28:21

I guess I am feeling it more informed about this . I am confused or baffled by it . It doesn't surprise me , considering all the like Hindu nationalism that's going on . Yes . Yeah there's that . So I mean I , I Would hope that if there's any renaming , that would be like for the right reasons and not for making you know , trying to make other people feel excluded . Yes , that would be awful . I would want them to have a voice and you know the , the minorities there have to have some sort of a voice in the name changing if that's gonna happen .

Sandeep 28:54

But also I can see , you know , wanting to Not have a colonial Name .

Omar 29:00

Yeah .

Sandeep 29:01

I don't know , we didn't have this here in our notes , but there was also a story or Going off script baby , yeah , you have to hear this . It's like the best trolling ever . So Pakistan responded the story by saying , yeah , that if India changes its name , that they will consider then changing their name to India . Yeah , which I think is like the most amazing troll ever like that's wild , it's so wild .

Omar 29:37

It's like that's wild , it's wild you know , change the maps twice , you can't do it all once .

Delvan 29:44

Yeah they got the River Valley . I mean , if you're saying it's not like it takes a way more sense .

Sandeep 29:51

No , yeah they have the Valley . It's not to say that it's that's inappropriate or whatever , but it's . It's hilarious .

Omar 30:01

It does make me feel like I . I I've always held people who work for like the UN or in government , and such as a child would hold them in high esteem because I would watch movies like the Great Mouse , detectives or rescuers and the rescuers down under , and it they're always presented as the best a country has to offer . And hearing stuff like this makes me go like oh , they're just scrubs . Like me where like ? They're just like . Well , if you do that , we'll do this .

Sandeep 30:28

Yeah , yeah , exactly about that ?

Omar 30:30

You ever think about that .

Sandeep 30:31

I know there's like it's very petty right , all right . Well , look , speaking of names , we're . This is obviously not gonna happen tomorrow , so but what I think is interesting is talking about

Chakra Check-In

Sandeep 30:43

names and their meanings , and so we're gonna jump into our chakra check-in .

Omar 30:47

Oh , okay , there we are .

Sandeep 30:51

So your name .

Omar 30:53

Oh , my name .

Sandeep 30:54

Mm-hmm turns out in our research means one who has a long life .

Omar 30:59

Oh , Really , I didn't know that .

Sandeep 31:02

Oh , I was told a different meaning . Yeah , no , I . So . This is so interesting because the one that's written for me is also different than what I was told . What were you told ?

Omar 31:10

I was told it means first born .

Sandeep 31:12

Okay , yeah , and were you first born in your family ? I was , that would be hilarious .

Omar 31:18

If it was just to be like we wish you were .

Sandeep 31:20

Yeah , I know your older sibling sucks . Oh man , I Like the idea of it just being like first , you know like yeah like you know , like in a YouTube comment section .

Omar 31:33

That's what .

Sandeep 31:34

Omar oh just wait , omar , when you comment on YouTube , mm-hmm . You want to say first Mm-hmm ?

Omar 31:39

Yeah , I write my name and then you see who the comments by , so it just seems like a weird thing someone's doing . But yeah , that's my . That's my first name , meaning , and then my middle name is Sahel , which means star . That was given to me by my grandfather who , when you first held me , he was like , oh , there's stars in his eyes . And then later my mom was like you were meant for Hollywood .

Omar 32:01

And I don't have the heart to tell her we have so much light pollution we actually can't see the stars and by me my last name I actually don't know a whole lot about , because it was changed two generations ago . We used to be cons .

Sandeep 32:14

And then to escape persecution .

Omar 32:15

We changed it to Najam . So there we are .

Sandeep 32:19

That's what . That's great . What so ? What did that mean to you like ? What did it mean to you to be Named like the first born ? Did that ? Did that carry any like sort of obligation or additional ?

Omar 32:30

Yeah . Yeah growing up I was like I have to be like the arrow . That I had growing up was like very Steve Rogers . I was like I have to look out for my siblings , I have to be the best for my family . I need to represent my family very well . And then this time passed and I went to UCSB . I was like nah .

Delvan 32:52

They can or they can handle themselves .

Omar 32:55

There's no weight on my shoulders . I'm going to film school .

Sandeep 33:00

So yes , I don't know carrying anybody there .

Omar 33:04

How about you ? What , what , what does your name show up as and what does your name mean ?

Sandeep 33:07

So here in the , in the research , that Kayla did , was its sunscreen for a burning flame or lamp beautiful .

Omar 33:15

Is you're the light of you the light of our lives Sunday , but I here .

Sandeep 33:17

I was told . My parents that my name means enlightenment .

Omar 33:22

Well , not too far off . They both include light .

Sandeep 33:24

They both include light .

Omar 33:25

Yeah .

Sandeep 33:26

I'm beginning to believe , though , that my dad had some . You know , he took some poetic license when he described the meaning to me . So to me it's always meant enlightenment , and I thought that was always really cool , yeah . But I was also like I don't think I'm enlightened and then I sort of like After I got , when I got married , at the start of thinking about me meaning is a lot , because we were talking about like , oh what ?

Sandeep 33:55

last name are we gonna have and all this other stuff . And hey , hannah , my wife's name , it means grace . Yes and and you look at the two of us , okay , Hannah's a lot of things , Mm-hmm . Is she graceful ? Yes , she can be . Am I enlightened ? Maybe on Thursdays . And so I started thinking like , oh well , maybe that's like less like what we are and it's more like what we strive to be .

Omar 34:26

I love that .

Sandeep 34:27

More like what we and then maybe , and then I did this whole thing during our vows . That was like maybe I need , maybe I need and I need grace to achieve enlightenment and she needs enlightenment to achieve like to fully embody grace . That's really beautiful .

Omar 34:43

So that's how we need each other Anyone stand up during your speech to interrupt and be like , or maybe she needs lamp , for grace .

Sandeep 34:52

Or yeah , turn a light on .

Omar 34:56

Maybe that'll help with the grace you ever think about that . Yeah , that's a little . That's one step , that one's great .

Sandeep 35:01

That's why she's tripping every time she does a pirouette . There's no light in here or a burning flame .

Omar 35:10

Do you think people should know the menus of their names ?

Sandeep 35:15

It's always been important to me . It's always made me feel connected to something kind of

Should people know the meaning to their names?

Sandeep 35:19

bigger than myself and connected to culture and history . Yeah , I guess , and I was gonna say legacy , but not really , because I'm not , like , named after somebody , but it just feels like I'm connected to a broader culture in a way Do you feel ? Cooler than Frank .

Omar 35:40

No offense to Frank's out there , but Do you feel names like Hansen and you look it up and it's like Son of Han .

Sandeep 35:47

Do you ?

Omar 35:48

feel that that lands in the same way , because there's a legacy in its own way . But you don't get like it because to me names with meanings feel like X-Men , mutant powers . Yeah so you just like when later you find out , and it's just like . It means fast , it means quick and swift it means . I'm going to be a runner .

Sandeep 36:06

I'm quick silver and there are like a bunch of like Irish names that just mean like redheaded boy .

Omar 36:11

Yes .

Sandeep 36:12

Or like has a beard or something .

Omar 36:14

Yeah .

Sandeep 36:14

Like , it's like very .

Omar 36:16

It's Potra Cossiverd . Yeah , yeah .

Sandeep 36:19

So yeah , how do you feel about those names that are just more directly hears the thing I'm honest , like it was my way of being like a little bit cooler than all the kids in my class .

Omar 36:30

As a reminder .

Sandeep 36:31

They all had everything that they had , which is like homogene and each other and like a sense of a shared culture that they all understood , and I had my own weird little thing that that was like a little bit outside that but trying desperately to be a part of that . So then , that was one way in which I owned my yes . Differentness was like I got this cool name and at this cool name meaning . That's why I never really liked nicknames Like people would try like hey , sandy or Sunny .

Omar 37:00

Yeah , nah , no , I'm enlightened yeah .

Delvan 37:05

Or at least I'm on my way , yeah exactly , that's great .

Omar 37:09

Mine means first born , and it's true .

Sandeep 37:11

Yeah , I like this one who has a long life . I mean , that's that boats well for you , that's great , I need it yeah . You can use more life .

Omar 37:21

I the other the other day . You know what I think this name is . I think this name is coming true because I genuinely I have lived a stupendous life . I am a very simple man with who enjoys simple pleasures , of which , like my greatest joys for me are traveling to another country and just having like a simple meal , and I know there's like a lot of like ooh Lottie doll , you can go when I go to other countries .

Omar 37:44

I'm not rich , I'm still on someone's couch but just going somewhere and having like a burger or a beer or a sandwich or something local or a perfectly brewed iced tea without ice . Perfectly brewed iced tea , just poured over , iced , the ice melts , and then you didn't get more ice before the show , something like that , just chatting with someone , and I have been to Australia a couple of times , I've been to England , I've been to India , I've been to Singapore .

Sandeep 38:08

Okay , frequent flyer .

Omar 38:10

So you know I'm racking up those miles . I've been to Boston and been to Canada , so I feel like it . I've had a very fulfilled like the , the , the length of life through Boston .

Sandeep 38:19

In there , you know , is if it's like exotic locations as well .

Omar 38:25

I didn't quite speak the language .

Sandeep 38:27

Have you heard of Staro Drive ?

Omar 38:30

And you want to go to the fucking comments . But , and so I and I love that and that keeps me , that keeps me the way young . But I do think that I am aging , because the other day I went to go have dinner with Serena , our friend Serena , and she got carded and then the waitress turned to me and went nah , you're good , yeah , yeah . You're fine , so I'm feeling it . You're old , you're on your last legs so here's a beer , all right .

Sandeep 39:00

Well , on that , why don't we get to

Omar 57:34

Well , let's jump to Dacia , the week all right , folks , I'm so excited about this week's day , see the week we're closing our season with just an incredible example in the community . This week we are honoring a desi judge that's overseeing a huge public and hugely impactful case . Yep , this is an honor , judge , your honor . And of course , we are talking about Moxie LaVillada . Pee-mit , what , what , what are you talking about ?

Sandeep 58:06

wait , are you telling me that there's two daisies we have ?

Omar 58:09

two daisies of the week judges and they're both judges . Can I ? Talk about mine real quick , okay , you first you might have heard about Moxie La recently in the news , because the honor judge is a US magistrate judge who's handled the initial proceedings of the Trump arraignment on the federal charges relating to trying to overturn the 2020 election a pretty important case happening right now yeah yep , she allowed Trump to leave his second arraignment in federal court without travel restrictions or a cash bond , but before he left she issued some warnings .

Omar 58:42

She said it's a crime to influence a juror or to threaten . Yes , who attempt to bribe a witness or any other person who may have information about your case , which is to go on many things that he has for sure done in the past .

Sandeep 58:58

Yes , you tell him auntie Moxie , la auntie you tell him .

Omar 59:05

Moxie , la auntie , was born in Qatar and was raised near Kansas City . Her distinguished legal career includes a commitment to pro bono work representing indigenous clients in post conviction proceedings that have earned her the defender of innocence award from the Mid-Atlantic innocence project . In 2009 , okay , named pro bono lawyer of the year by a venerable in 2006 .

Omar 59:34

So an absolute , an absolute powerhouse of a human being who's helping folks who need it and then telling Trump hey , cut it out , you're in so much trouble so what happens if Trump goes to jail , okay , and Joe Biden ?

Sandeep 59:51

something happens . Joe Biden because he's old , he's old mm-hmm , like , if they drop out of the race , there's a chance . I'm just throwing this out there . Okay , that auntie ? Mm-hmm come along , come along to yeah and I guess I don't want to call her an auntie , but Nikki Haley , right , become the two leading candidates . Yes , two Indian women head-to-head for the .

Sandeep 1:00:19

You know the , the , the leader of the free world because interesting , interesting times well , speaking of interesting times , we have yet another judge who's overseeing a huge case , which is the big Google antitrust trial . That's okay , p meta . Google's being accused of operating on a legal monopoly because guess what we all use Google to do searching and nothing else . Pretty much they own 90% of the market share , and so I'm gonna make the rule in favor of a proceeding with a proceeding with the central part of the antitrust lawsuit against Google . So that's , that's big . He agreed to take on the trial the accusation that Google has been suppressing competition in the advertising market . The trial is gonna start in November and he's gonna hear testimony from yet another Desi Indian born American Google CEO , sundar Pachai .

Sandeep 1:01:14

So just indios all up in these huge court cases , or Desi's and judgment that he did dismiss a bunch of claims ahead of trial . So it's boiled down to just like this , this main issue , really , yeah , of Google being the default search for , like you know , android and all these other things , and Google spends tons of money to make sure that it's the default search engine , which means that it's impossible for competitors compete . So , yeah , these are huge myth . That was born in Bhutan , india . He was appointed to serve as a US district judge by former president Barack Obama . Maybe you've heard of him . In 2022 , he rejected former president Donald Trump's bid to toss civil lawsuits holding him responsible for inciting a historic riot , not and denying him from immunity . So both have ties to judging mr Trump there , yeah . So shout out to our desi judges of the week .
