2 Lattes 1 Chai

Just another honest conversation about friendship… who you’d share a dollar with… and whether or not you should pay your bills 😂😭

Making friends is hard. Keeping them is even harder. This week, we’re talking about the mental and emotional tax of friendship, how social media/the internet has become the place many of us go to find community, and why being yourself isn’t always as easy as it sounds. 

What happens when three exhausted Gen Z adults stop filtering their thoughts? In our first unRecorded episode, we unpack the 2026 Met Gala, the decline of good art, America’s obsession with distractions, public transportation (or the lack thereof), technological change, privilege & generational wealth, and why so many of us feel disillusioned with the world we’ve inherited. Fair warning: we don’t hold back. ⚠️

2 Lattes 1 Chai is back for another season of juicy conversations! Tap in and join us. 

In our season finale, we say GOODBYE to 2025 by revisiting the year's wildest moments and reflecting on what the holidays look like now, from letting go of Hallmark expectations to creating our own chosen families. 

AI is everywhere... and it's changing how we think, create, and move through the world. In this episode, we talk about how we've used AI in 2025, why so many of us rely on it, and what its rapid advancement means for creativity, our careers, and staying human in an increasingly digital world. 

In this Thanksgiving episode, we dig into our how society lives by a gospel of more. We break down what vices and virtues actually look like in 2025 and how our vices manifest themselves in both collective and individual ways. 

In this bonus drop, we spill the tea on the origin story behind 2 Lattes 1 Chai. We talk about what drove us to start a podcast in the first place and we hope to give you a taste of what kinds of conversations we'll have in the future. 

Dating in 2025 is... a whole thing. This episode is about the chaos of modern relationships: confusing labels (or the choice to leave them behind), shifting gender roles, and how money and expectations shape the way we date. We're talking stereotypes, boundaries, and the taking and giving of energy in relationships. If you've ever wondered what "normal" even means, this one's for you. 

Can community thrive in a culture of individualism? This episode explores becoming a villager, resisting isolation, resetting our algorithms, and finding new ways to live in the modern world.

Bills, burnout, and broken systems. In this raw conversation, we talk about what it takes to survive in a world that feels rigged and out of control. Navigating money, work, and purpose when everything’s commodified isn’t for the weak… How do we stay grounded and find purpose when the game feels impossible? 

So, this is what they were saying about adulthood?! In this episode, we unpack what adulthood really means in 2025, from stereotypes about Gen Z laziness to how we begin redefining life on our own terms. Growing up was one thing. Becoming functioning adults is another. 

In our very first episode of 2 Lattes 1 Chai, hosts Abdul, Cari, and Ashley dive into nostalgia, questioning how much of the world we grew up in still exists today. From the early days of social media to shifting values, politics, and pop culture, we unpack what's changed in a conversation brewed with plenty of honesty.
