Let's Roast Mom
Pull up a chair at the family dinner table, where Zarna and her family dive headfirst into the world of birth order dynamics. From the bossy eldest to the peacekeeper middle child and the rebellious youngest, they hash out 'middle child syndrome,' debate whether parental discipline is fair play, and reminisce about the sheer madness of growing up Garg-style. With enough sibling banter to rival a sitcom, this episode is an…interesting…peek into the Garg family life.

Customer Reviews
Interracial Romance
I so love this family. So much truth and humor, I laughed out loud during this episode.
A Shallow, Vapid Family
The more I listen to this podcast, the more I dislike this entire family.
The parents are focused only on the financial performance of their children as adults.
There is no consideration for art, culture or humanity in their lives. The parents drive the children to be the best at making money and nothing else seems to matter.
Zarna is funny, no doubt; her stand up is a riot. However, listen to the podcasts and you’ll find that the entire family is driven only by financial success.
I want to enjoy the podcasts but each one seems to get worse and more heartbreaking. Listening to these kids who are not interested in art, culture or values is really sad. “We’ve never been in a New York City museum. No one we know cares about that stuff.” And the parents agreeing is just sad.
When it’s all said and done, is this what you really want out of life?
Thank you!
The podcast, series of very honest family chats, is also a great source for self-help and self-improvement. And, looking into myself. So, thank you Zarna, Shalabh (sometimes, I feel for you, man!) and kids!
The humor underlying every discussion makes me feel like listening to them non-stop! We have started watching their YouTube versions, especially if Colbert is on vacation!
