Gaming as a Grownup is a Dream... ~ PAX East, DesiQuest, Munchkin vs Gulab Jamun - (A·B·C·D) Sn2 Ep2

American Born Chatty Desis (A·B·C·D)

Our latest episode captures the highs and lows of PAX East in Boston, where Omar Najam and Sandeep Parikh left our live streaming habitat for the bustling convention floor. Wander with us through the maze of game developers, dice booths, and the inevitable mishaps along the way. But it's not all chaos; we're dishing out the scoop on Dispel Dice's newest treasures that are a dream for gamers and pet owners. We even tackle the heavyweight bout of snack food: Dunkin' Munchkins versus Gulab Jamun – a debate you won't want to miss.
There's nothing quite like the energy of Anjali Bhimani's storytelling, which brings a magnetic vibe to our conversation. We mull over a possible "Auntie vs. Auntie" presidential race in 2024, poking fun at the political circus with our own "doomsday clock." The cultural tapestry woven by aunties in our lives is rich and vibrant, and this chat is a testament to their legendary status in problem-solving and impact.
Imagine the odds of bumping into not one, but multiple Sandeeps, and the ensuing "name-game" banter that unfolds. Plus, we're pulling in our buddy Neeraj Shah to discuss what's sweet and what's sweeter when it comes to dessert debates. As the episode winds down, we can't help but shine a spotlight on the folks who make our podcast a reality – from the production team to our generous supporters. It's a joyous wrap-up to an episode brimming with laughter, camaraderie, and the kind of memories that only come from experiences like PAX East.
