The Big Sick: Finding love for you and your family (Bag of Devotion not required) with Akshay Singh

Episode 8: The Big Sick: Finding love for you and your family (Bag of Devotion not required) with Akshay Singh

Show notes

In Episode #8, Akshay Singh makes his return to talk about Kumail Nanjiani's The Big Sick with more of his awkward anecdotes and convincing theories on marrying modern love with traditional, asian parents. As two single guys with our parents breathing down our backs, we put on our introspection aprons and serve up our feelings on the constant underlying pressure on marriage (28:30), why we've waylayed ourselves by looking for the wrong attributes in our partners (29:00) and why the Bag of Devotion is never, ever, ever, a good idea. (51:10) Of course, we can't talk about Kumail without mentioning his fearsome new physique (14:00) and Akshay shares his own Kumail-like story about coming to America. (6:40)
