  • 139: Adrift sailor, Camel botox, Fake kidnapping
    A man fakes his own kidnapping just to escape work. And you think you hate you job? Ask not what your job makes you do, ask what you’d do to escape your job. But first, the story of a sailor who was saved by floating garbage. Followed by the camel beauty pageant in Saudi that is rife with participants injecting their damsels with botox and other supplements to turn them into cover girls. Bring out those strongly-worded letters, many animals were body-shamed in the making of this episode.

  • 138: Ambani zoo, Bengaluru massage, Passport forgery
    The lads discuss the Ambani zoo, and no, that is not a reference to the big family wedding. The implications and the thinking, behind such a move, and all the careful considerations. However, things swiftly get out of hand and reach the story of the Bengaluru man who got duped after being promised a ‘happy ending’ massage. And lastly the story of a young woman who forged her passport to keep her Goa trip a secret from her Mother. Parenting level: Diabolical.

  • 137: Obese monkey, Skeleton guitar, V-day Vs. COVID deaths
    This episode has death written all over it. But don’t worry, the lads make sure it is anything but serious. Specially the story about the shortage of flowers around Valentine’s day due to COVID deaths in the state of California. Or the Norwegian dude who made a guitar with his uncle’s Skeleton. The only time there’s no mention of death is the story of the obese Thai monkey who got fat eating tourist junk food. But even he faces the risk of death. Yay!

  • 136: Goat meetings, Wedding photographer, Forehead diamond
    Animals are back, front and centre at Far from fact HQ. That’s about how long the lads can keep the juveniles out of their decision-making while picking stories. Sharing headlines this week is the story of a groom who slapped a wedding photographer for getting ‘too friendly’ with the bride. And lastly the rapper who spent $24 million on a diamond for his forehead. Third eye bling!
    Here’s link to the video of the wedding photographer.

  • 135: Excess baggage, Myntra logo, GameStop
    Long, loaded and free from innuendo, that’s how 5 out of 3 survey respondents would describe this episode. Hypothetical research aside, this one starts with the tame story of Chinese passengers eating their excess baggage, and quickly escalates to the sexually-fuelled Myntra logo story. Before you know it, the lads are talking about shorting stocks and wealth inequalities. Fasten your brain belts, this is one rocky ride.

  • 134: Height increasing surgery
    Catch the lads try very hard to resist the height puns. But give them enough time and they dig deep into the psyche of what really drives people to such drastic measures. Complete with all the insensitivities and laughter you have come to expect, of course. Many sentiments were hurt in the making of this one.

  • 133: Retired Babu, Amazon delivery, Baby selling racket
    Catch the lads try to make sense of a rather sensitive story in the shape of a baby selling racket. But don’t worry, the delinquency in still intact. Specially when you come across the story of the retired IAS officer who is fined 13 Lakhs for overstaying in Government accommodation, and specially the story of the Amazon delivery person who took a dump outside a person’s home. Double delivery!

  • 132: Vaccine drive, Trump’s twitter ban, Parent-Teacher WhatsApp groups
    Parent-Teacher WhatsApp groups seem to be taking a nasty turn as teachers complain about parents sending obscene content. Meanwhile in the US, Trump is banned from Twitter for life, and the biggest story in India at the moment - No, not the blessing dog from Maharashtra. We’re talking about the world’s largest democracy’s vaccination drive.

  • 131: Tunnel affair, Chinese-baby namer, Land-inheriting dog
    It’s a brand new year and brand new episode. Not much has changed in the world guessing by these stories. Kicking it off is the story of a pet dog in Madhya Pradesh who has inherited 9 acres of land. But first the story of a man who dug a tunnel just to go meet his married lover and the British teen who paid for college by coming up with baby names for Chinese parents. Ni Hao 2021!
