Number 1: Varun Thakur on Comedy, Cricket & Everyday Chaos | Cyrus Says
Varun Thakur joins Cyrus Broacha on Cyrus Says for a freewheeling conversation packed with comedy, everyday absurdities, Mumbai-style chaos and plenty of unexpected detours. From the very beginning, Cyrus and Varun bounce between stories, jokes and observations with almost no regard for staying on topic. One particularly memorable tangent involves living 17 floors up, a lift that refuses to cooperate and the awkward economics of ordering food when the delivery person has to make the climb. The conversation eventually moves into cricket, with Cyrus and Varun trading opinions, jokes and the kind of sporting banter that quickly turns into something much bigger than the original question. Expect spontaneous comedy, ridiculous hypotheticals, relatable city-life frustrations and the trademark chaos of a Cyrus Says conversation. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
