About this episode

On this week’s episode of Mom’s Car, we welcome actor Karan Soni. Karan, Dax, and Best Friend Aaron Weakley talk through Karan’s first Kristen connection when he was still working out his identity, his dad working for John Deere tractors which are made in India, remembering all gay storylines on TV being shame based, at what age discovering he was funny, a write-in question about possible levels of happiness moving back to one’s hometown, finally accepting that he couldn’t change his family with nagging, and BFAW & Dax's relationship throughout their sobriety journeys.
