76. 'And Just Like That...' 'Diwali' Episode Recap and Show Discussion

It's hard not to notice when a grand piano rolls onto the Planet Bluegrass festival grounds during a Bluegrass festival. But indeed it did and with it one of the hottest sets of 2014's RockyGrass festival. Ricky Skaggs & Bruce Hornsby with Kentucky Thunder brought the house down with their Friday night headlining set. 7/25/14 http://www.afterfm.com/rockygrass

RockyGrass 2014: Ricky Skaggs & Bruce Hornsby with Kentucky Thunder(part 2)

We're back for a special quarantine show where we discuss episode 2 of Bravo TV's 'Family Karma'! We chat about the ongoing auntie drama, the Brian/Monica dynamic, how 'Family Karma' differs from other Bravo shows (in a good way!), Grandpa's age (you'll never believe it), and of course, ALL things Bali. We dive into a quick recap of the first four episodes of 'Love Is Blind' at the end as well!

3. 'Family Karma' S1 Ep2 Recap: Family Fun In Flannel

This week, we recap the most recent episode of 'Family Karma' - the drama is starting to heat up! We discuss the perils of social distancing (including attempting to home school and stress eating), Deana and Monica's shared loved of clipping coupons, Crohn's v. Celiac, FaceTiming while you sleep, the glorious return of Grandpa, Indian diarrhea, and we attempt to get to the bottom of the drama between Alisha, Amrit, and Vishal. Plus, how old is Chris, Bali's daughter's BF, anyway!? Subscribe now, so you don't miss an episode! 

**We apologize for the poor audio this week. We're still trying to get our home audio setups working right, and promise it will be better next time!**

4. 'Family Karma' S1 Ep3 Recap: A Game of Telephone

Because we all need a little something extra to help us through the COVID-19 quarantine, we're recapping Netflix's 'Love is Blind' in this special bonus episode. Find out who we loved, who we hated, and everything in between. 'Family Karma' episode 4 recap up early next week!

5. Bonus Episode: 'Love Is Blind' S1 Recap

Join us for our recap of 'Family Karma' Episode 4! In this week's installment, we dig deep into the Anisha-Bali-Vishal-Amrit drama and ask some big questions. Will Amrit and Nicholas last? Is Vishal the best reality TV character on Bravo right now? Is Brian really ready for Monica's jelly? And who was that dude wearing a flannel shirt at Fire Tower?! We also touch base about our COVID-19 woes, how much Jax Taylor costs on Cameo, Indra's (not so) secret celebrity crush, walking through the Starbucks drive thru, and social media influencers who lick toilets and get coronavirus. Trust us - you don't want to miss this one.

6. 'Family Karma' S1 Ep4 Recap: Sari, Not Sari

Frenemies for Life! On this week’s recap, we discuss Vishal’s non-apology to Anisha, Brian’s surprising maturity amidst his frat-boy tendencies, Vishal’s grooming routine (does he shave the butthole or not?!), Monica and Brian: real or fake?, what might be going on behind the scenes with Amrit and Nicholas, Bali’s past, Anisha’s ex-bf Vishnu, our love for Grandma and Grandpa, and why we only see Shaan if he’s holding a batch of old-fashioneds. Also, stay tuned for the end of the episode where we discuss the premiere of RHONY and give our brief thoughts on the horror show that is ‘Tiger King.’

7. 'Family Karma' S1 Ep 5 Recap: Frienemies for Life

#TeamAnisha or #TeamMonica? In this week's episode, we tell you our thoughts on the Anisha/Monica feud. We also discuss Vishal and Richa's relationship, Shaan's 70-year old vibes, Deana's fear of sunset cruises, speculation about closeted gay characters on the show, and our willingness to poop in Anisha's sister's car if it means we can go out for happy hour again. We also talk about the latest episode of #RHONY and ask for your feedback on what other Bravo shows we should cover when this season of Family Karma ends (please give us a Season 2!).

8. 'Family Karma' S1 Ep6 Recap: Karma's a Beach

In this episode, we discuss the penultimate episode of Season 1 of 'Family Karma' on Bravo. Join us as we talk about our favorite new cast member (hint: he's a dog), which 'Sex and the City' characters we think match up with Anisha and Monica's personalities, the Bali/Anisha/Monica debacle, Brian's lack of game (but on point holiday party style), and our vision for possible 'Family Karma' opening credits.
We also discuss the latest episode of #RHONY (58:50), the season premiere of #RHOBH (1:04:50) where Deana spills some delicious tea, a quick #PumpRules (1:12:30) update, and determine who we think is the worst villain on Bravo right now.

9. 'Family Karma' S1 Ep7 Recap: I Kinda Don't Like You

We can’t believe it either, but we’ve already reached the season finale of ‘Family Karma’! In this week’s episode, we discuss Bravo’s tidy ending for the season and what that means for the possibility of a season 2. We also talk about how glad we are that the Monica and Brian storyline is finally over, Grandpa’s final wish for Anisha, Amrit and Nicholas’s maturity, Brian’s tattoo dreams, why Indians are always late, and how Deana totally called that this was Vishal’s show. 

Even though the season is over, we’ll continue to bring you episodes with updates on the cast and hopefully some interviews as well! We’ll also recap other current Bravo shows as we wait patiently for FK Season 2 (fingers crossed!).
