Johnny's story is a compelling blend of sports and gaming, a journey of adaptability, and the breaking down of labels and binaries. Get ready to be inspired by his switch from college football to the NFL, and how he found his calling in D&D, leading to features on ESPN and Sports Illustrated.  Ever wondered about the complexities that lie behind sports team names? We're putting that curiosity to rest as we engage in a playful debate over 12 team names including the Dayton Dragons and Stony Brook Seawolves. Meanwhile, don't forget to pay attention to the unique intersection of sports, gaming, and cultural understanding that forms the backdrop of our conversation. As we bid farewell to our treasured team member Diego, we also wrap up our conversation with Johnny, diving into his vision for the future of athletics, his charity and Twitch events, and his dream D&D playmates. From long snapping to the exploration of tabletop role-playing styles, Johnny's journey is bound to leave a lasting impression. Tune in and witness the captivating blend of sports, gaming, and cultural understanding. Don't miss out on this amazing journey, join us and be part of the conversation! Show Description: An often belittling term, "ABCD (American Born Confused Desi)" is being redefined in new livestream/podcast series American Born Chatty Desis hosted by internet personalities Sandeep Parikh (The Guild, The Legend of Neil) and Omar Najam (Dimension 20). The two hosts (and a sometimes exciting guest) engage in front of a live chat, with a fast and loose format where they check in with their chakras and debate over their American roots v. Desi heritage! Come for the light hearted commentary, stay for the deep insights into life from the second generation point of view. We're here, we barely speak Hindi, get used to it.
