So thanks for tuning in for our final episode of the season.

Omar: 0:39

It is absolutely wonderful. Before we get into all that sentimentality, folks, I got to introduce our co-host. He is the man who writes all the meanings behind the names on babynamescom it's Sandeep Bari.

Sandeep: 0:51

Hey, thank you so much. It's like a Wikipedia thing where you're allowed to sort of edit the baby names to your liking. So Kevin now means, oh great, Sandeep one.

Omar: 1:06

Oh, that's really good. According to me, that's really good.

Sandeep: 1:10

Omar: 1:20

Oh, thank you, Thank you, thank you.

Sandeep: 1:24

Yep.

Omar: 1:27

Thank you.

Sandeep: 1:29

Now I guess, if I accidentally have a second, and then because we're not playing on it, but if I accidentally have a second and then it accidentally becomes twins, then I have to name one of them Omar Najam, just because of this.

Omar: 1:41

Can you purposely?

Sandeep: 1:43

No, it'll be an accident, okay.

Delvan: 1:45

No, I don't.

Omar: 1:47

Omar: 2:37

What's going to?

Sandeep: 2:38

It's set in the South Asian mythology inspired universe built by star GM Jasmine, that bronzegirl, who I actually texted the other day just to let her know she's so great. Okay, braggler, I like her very much with a stellar.

Her number. Oh man, yeah, she makes me text her mom. She's actually going through her to get to her. I can't even.

Omar: 3:51

there is one more.

Omar: 6:54

Yeah, he's talking about this is our definitely real sponsor.

Sandeep: 6:57

Um and uh, this is my, my mom's chevd o mix which I'm showing you right now. It's this, can you see it?

Omar: 7:04

Wow, it's stunning. A K resolution, yeah.

Sandeep: 7:07

So, uh, you, you can get my mom's chevdo, which is basically we can. Uh, yeah, you can get it If you can find her house in New England. Okay, I gave you New England. Okay, just look at all of them Even a state that's a region.

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.

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 story it's it's spooky season's on deep, and you know what that means.

Sandeep: 16:45

Cricket, I didn't know that's where you're going, okay.

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.

Sandeep: 20:26

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 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 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 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 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 our main game?

Omar: 39:08

All right, this is going to be a really great segment because we actually have props for using which we'll be interacting with. In a second, our Game Master Delvin will be reading off the meanings of a name and we will have to guess which location owns that meaning.

Sandeep: 39:26

Yeah, so. So like, for example yeah, chicago, okay, right, yeah, we looked this up beforehand because we were coming up with a game. Yeah, so it means onion or striped skunk in Algonquin apparently.

Omar: 39:42

So if Delvin says that we got a write down on our Y board?

Sandeep: 39:46

we have to guess what we think that the place is.

Delvan: 39:48

The place is. I'm going to be giving you the meanings. Yeah, yeah, got these in stages. So we give you the meaning, give you a shot at it, okay, Okay, we can give you a language of Mm hmm, okay. So not there. We'll give you a multiple choice real good shot of making it. We'll just get closer to that.

Sandeep: 40:07

Perfect, easy.

Delvan: 40:08

Let's do it, let's go.

Sandeep: 40:11

This is big because I'm pretty sick of this, you know, living in a world where Omar is the host, it's kind of it's been brutal.

Omar: 40:16

Well, you might want to get a spaceship, because it's going to happen again this week.

Delvan: 40:20

Okay, all right Are the white boards paired.

Omar: 40:26

Yeah, yeah.

Delvan: 40:27

All right. So the name meaning is pleasant place.

Sandeep: 40:34

Pleasant, pleasant, so it's not Pleasantville.

Omar: 40:40

The movie. The black and white film Pleasant place to live.

Sandeep: 40:47

San Diego means a whale's vagina Pleasant.

Omar: 40:52

Pleasant, pleasant, okay. Okay, so we're going for a first guess right, and if we get it, it's locked in.

Delvan: 40:58

If we get it, you got the point or, and we're skipping, you have it, we can start cleaning.

Omar: 41:04

I gotta say this is a great whiteboard.

Sandeep: 41:07

I really enjoyed writing that. I'm just going to guess. Here we go.

Omar: 41:10

Sandeep: 41:31

Okay, so I guessed Miami. So I'm going to now kind of come off of that Latin.

Delvan: 41:38

I mean it's kind of Latin.

Sandeep: 41:40

Oh, I guess it is because it's a romance language.

Delvan: 41:41

Sandeep: 47:18

I'll get it right again. And again.

Delvan: 47:21

That's why I didn't answer your question of why condom was real or not, because I don't want to give any clues on whether it's possible. It's like the right answer.

Sandeep: 47:26

It's too obvious.

Omar: 47:27

The con Language of Origin helped me out a lot in both of these instances.

The name of this place means slut.

Delvan: 48:28

But you know this the female of the pig yeah, come on.

Sandeep: 48:34

What I thought. We're not using that word anymore.

Delvan: 48:39

I generally don't, but this is the definition of what it means. Oh, oh like as in like you can't get trouble, like glad if you're reading out the dictionary, the slut means female of the pig.

Sandeep: 48:48

Is that what that means? Like as in, like how the B word means female dog.

Delvan: 48:54

Seemed to be the case.

Sandeep: 48:55

I never knew that? Did you know that?

Omar: 48:57

Omar? No, I actually didn't. Why are you going to?

Sandeep: 57:27

That's true you don't have to admit their name to mean female pig. Okay, all right.

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.
