Mango Bae goes viral! Our take on Vir Das set the internet ablaze - we talk some of the hilarious comments on both sides of the issue. Our Brown of the Week is the businessman Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani. He is connected romantically to the disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes. She accuses him of being abusive - was he really or was he just a super Indian uncle? We then get into the main topic of social media - it is slowly crushing us as a society and we go off on it!!!
