  1. Are All Men Cheaters? Interview With a Sex Worker at the Red Light District

    Show notes

    I took my American kids to visit the Red Light District in Amsterdam. Why? For once, I’ve got an answer. My kids, and all kids, should see the reality of making money, and what people have to do to make their ends meet. We met with a sex worker at the Red Light District who told us about her work, the customers she sees, and most importantly, the business. Tune in for an exclusive look.

  2. Firefighter Explains How Stupid We Are

    Show notes

    My kids think I’m neurotic. So I invited NYC firefighter Furhan Ahmed and turns out, we're not neurotic ENOUGH. Finally, a guest with qualifications to judge this family. Our family's been dumb about safety and we're not ashamed to admit. Are you is the real question.

  3. I Ruined Our Family Vacation

    Show notes

    Turns out you can pay for an entire family vacation across Europe but still be the least attractive part of the trip. Mothers, let it be known that if you want to keep your kids alive, you will be the villain. That aside, tune in to hear our take on London, Paris, Germany, Netherlands Switzerland & Sweden. Yes, both the good AND the bad. So if you’re planning on a trip to any of these places, you better watch this episode first.

  4. Cornell 7, Shane Gillis, $10,000 Scam

    Show notes

    You asked us to talk about what’s happening NOW. Well, we have a lot to say.

    First, I paid $10,000+ for business class and couldn’t get working Wi-Fi for all 13 hours. At that price, the pilot should be answering my emails. Meanwhile, Kelly Clarkson wanted a $15,000 mechanical bird and put the small business on blast online…was she wrong?

    Then we get into the Cornell 7 sexual assault allegations, and the fear millions of moms now have for their sons. Shane Gillis called women at the gym “wh*res” on SNL. Everyone’s coming for the comedian, but what about the show that handed him the microphone?

    JOIN IN ON THE TABLE TALK and comment down below what you feel about these topics. Or, let us know what we should be taking about next week.

  5. Are Women Happier Without Men? Ft. Chelsea Handler

    Show notes

    Chelsea Handler is single, happy, and rich. Naturally, I need to investigate.

    This week, Chelsea joined us to talk marriage, being single, building a successful career, and why women are always the ones solving everybody’s problems. If you already have money, freedom, and peace, what exactly is a husband bringing to the table besides dirty laundry?

    I’ve been married for 30 years. Chelsea’s eggs have retired. But which one of us is actually happier? TUNE IN and let us know your thoughts below.

  6. I'm Happiest Without My Kids

    Show notes

    Okay, you guys want the drama? Geneva, Switzerland is where my husband and I first lived together after getting married. You can say it’s where the “love brewed,” if Indians were capable of such feeling… We bought our kids here to relive none of those memories, however. We’re reminiscing about slapping ducks, feeling like a loser wife, and banning my kids from having fun in Lake Geneva. Yup, that sounds more like us.

  7. EXCLUSIVE: Robot Replaces Zarna’s Husband

    Show notes

    The husband is out. The chores are out. All are jobs…also likely out. We left no details behind NEO, the first humanoid robot that’s actually ready to be in your homes. If you’re thinking this all sounds bizarre, you’re not wrong. If you think you won’t be shocked from everything we learned about AI, you ARE wrong.

  8. Brown Moms, Your Kids Don't Have White Privilege

    Show notes

    You don’t have manners…and it shows. This week, we’re debating what etiquette actually means, where good manners end and basic hygiene begins, and why people of color are often held to a completely different standard than White people. Is showing up clean and polished a sign of respect? Is it a survival strategy when you’re a person of color? We get into ALL of it. Cleanliness. Culture. White Privilege. Tune in and pick a side. We want to hear your thoughts below.

    Show notes

    Are we shopping addicts? Are YOU a shopping addict? Is retail therapy justified?

    We're no strangers to shopping, but we've learned a few things (good and bad) that we're opening up about on today's episode. Overall light...few fights, valid debates, and more. Let us know below what your shopping habits are and are you a green bubble or blue bubble?

  12. Locked in the Hermès Bathroom & Luxury Brand Abuse

    Show notes

    As you may have heard, I was welcomed into Berlin, Germany by being locked in the Hermès bathroom for over an hour with possibly the worst staff I've ever met. No apology and constant reluctance to help.

    This episode is now a full family heated debate over luxury stores and how we let them abuse us. It's a raw, honest, and real discussion, and it ended with a pledge I've made that shocked my family.

    Do you agree with us? Are you also shopping at luxury stores? We want to hear your perspective because it's an understatement to say that ours have changed.

  14. Secrets We Can't Keep (And Snitching)

    Show notes

    Each one of the Garg's have secrets, but the real juicy part is that we are also snitchers. Today's episode exposes both the lies we tell each other, and the backstabbers who can't keep their word. Let us know below who gets your A grade (or even F grade as long as it's not me).
