About Chai Me A River with Shane Lamba

Got a taste for hot chai and hotter takes? Sip slow, because Shane Lamba is spilling it all — the drama, the desire, the deep stuff. From being queer and Indian to navigating messy friendships, mistaken identities, pop culture chaos, and identity crises served with a side of sass, Chai Me a River blends humor, heart, and heat in every episode. Unfiltered, unbothered, and unapologetically real — this is the chai spill you didn’t know you needed.

   Is Water Wet? TwerkerDan Explains the Science of Getting Wet

   Is water wet? TwerkerDan has the science. 🌊🍑 Shane is joined by scientist, icon, legend, and molecular twerkologist Danny aka TwerkerDan for a chaotic conversation about science, growing up in Perris, California, college, fraternity life, queer culture, and the extremely important question: is water actually wet? We talk about the science of getting wet, what has been pissing Danny off lately, and put him through the Spicy Chai before launching into a completely unhinged rapid-fire word association game. 🍵 Chai Me a River is a podcast for the brown, bisexual, beautiful—and anyone who has a lot to say and a lot of DEPTH. If you're into LGBTQ+ podcasts, queer comedy, bisexual representation, Latino culture, California culture, pop culture, funny interviews, and unfiltered conversations, grab your chai and press play. #LGBTQpodcast #ChaiMeaRiver #latino #indian #desi #queer #popculture IMPORTANT LINKS: COOKT Meal Prep Service:Get 10% off your next order, use my link: https://getcookt.com/SHANE332 (https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUM4Zm9rUkdCdFBzZ1YzLUdnSHMtM0VnYi0wcnxBR3JiS2FtX2pUQkQ4Q1JQekQwSS11OWp4dU01eHhNRUlQOWxnaS1uU0pTMVdXelV6LVZrY2s2X1FxTlk4ZlY1MkpSTWNOTUZhSGhuZVVaSFFIOE8wYWdtS21QRGNYajFZV1V1&q=https%3A%2F%2Fgetcookt.com%2FSHANE332&v=icFySLyP5Mc).
