In this explosive AMA episode of Cyrus Says, Cyrus Broacha teams up once again with comedians Akash Mehta and Punit Pania for a hilariously chaotic deep-dive into the week’s strangest headlines, hottest takes, and the always unpredictable questions from the show's Discord community. The trio opens with a conversation about the tragic Pahalgam attack and whether Kashmir can ever be pitched as a honeymoon destination again. From there, they spiral into India-Pakistan tensions—with one listener suggesting a drinking water contest as a more peaceful resolution—and reflect on Warren Buffett’s grim warning about the dollar, debating if it’s finally time to switch to Monopoly money. Trump’s AI-generated image as the Pope sparks a discussion on whether artificial intelligence has achieved enlightenment or just a full-blown god complex.

Meanwhile, cricket fans weigh in on the IPL’s newest sensation, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, and the controversy surrounding him, while gamers wonder if Rockstar could at least drop a GTA: Andheri Auto Rickshaw DLC to tide us over until GTA 6 finally drops. The episode also gets introspective, with questions about roast culture in Indian stand-up, the purpose of humor, and how comedians process the world beyond the cities they live in. Akash gives an update on his mysterious gym admirer, Punit reflects on how comedy evolves with age and consequence, and Cyrus addresses Dhoni’s non-retirement from IPL with just enough Bombay Gymkhana gossip to keep the conspiracy alive.

It’s an hour of wit, weirdness, and wonderful questions—with no topic too wild or too sacred.
