Mitali and Ahjali are gearing up for their big move to NYC! To make it more fun, Mitali brought her Indian sister Ritika and her white sister Dana but she still gets lost in the conversation. Who knew. Ahjali is still sore about Penny Farthings and her childhood NoCal curfews and Heather explains what "grocery store feet" are to everyone. If you guessed it's disgusting you are correct.
