  • 129: Kite flight, Santa cop, Sword-cut cake
    X’mas is upon us and the lads are here with a jolly good story all the way from Peru. Cops from a narcotic cell dressed as Satna and his elf to make a drug bust and nab a couple of unsuspecting dealers. But this flight of fancy goes via Indonesia, where a young boy’s kite flying turned into flying lessons. And lastly, the story of a Kurla youth who cut six birthday cakes while holding flame sticks in his mouth. What a party, no?

  • 128: Daddy’s affair, Mumbai drug bust, Channel update
    Join the lads as they make a very special announcement. A landmark, a turning point, historical moment, if you will. But first they must attend to the pressing matters at hand. Like the story of the Karnataka man who gave his daughter his phone for an online class, only for her to find a video of him having an affair. And the story of the drug dealers from Ivory Coast who were busted in Mumbai. Disclaimer: No drugs were consumed in the making of this episode.

  • 127: Chicken for blood, Stress busting walk, Funeral stunt
    The lads marvel at the amazing chicken/paneer in exchange for blood. A unique campaign in Mumbai aimed at making blood donation more exciting. But first they must stop and examine the story of the Italian man who walked 450 kilometres to calm down after an argument with his wife. And also make sense of story of the man who was refused entry at his own funeral. Hey, we don’t make this stuff up.

  • 126: Burj-sized Asteroid, COVID yatra, Farmer protests
    The lads put on their serious faces for this one, at least for the story about the farmers’ protests in Delhi. Join them as they try to understand what the issue is about and where it’s possibly headed. But first a little bit of the trademark nonsense. Starting the week is the story of a Burj Khalifa-sized asteroid that went past earth, and the oxymoron of a story called the COVID yatra, designed to create awareness among all corners of the country. Enjoy!

  • 125: Bigg Boss brain surgery, COVID warrior kids, Super Tatkal app
    Surgeons is Andhra Pradesh got innovative when they asked a patient to watch Bigg Boss and Avatar at the same time so that he would stay awake, while they performed an open-brain surgery on him. Meanwhile the Government has announced medical college seat reservations for children of slain COVID warriors. While the lads speculate the pros and cons of this prickly topic, another dilemma comes their way. This is time its the good-ol’ Indian Railways coming strong on an app developer and arresting him for developing a faster tatkal booking app called Super tatkal.

  • 123: Bald groom, Suicide mannat, Railway announcers
    Things take a dark turn this week. But worry not, the story of the bald groom more than makes up for it. Where a man hides his baldness by wearing a wig, and his new wife files a case of cheating against him for having concealed this information. Good balance overall. Rounding up the ha ha briefing is the story of 200 railway announcers who haven’t been paid for the last three months, but authorities assure that all dues will be cleared.

  • 122: JEE cheater, Intercaste marriage, Aladdin ka chirag
    Turns out the JEE topper used a proxy to write his exam, and hte proxy did too well. Meanwhile in Odisha, the Government has announced a cash incentive to encourage marriages between upper caste Hindus and SC/STs. And lastly, the story of a UK-return doctor who got duped for Rs. 2.5 Crores in the hopes of a lamp that he was told was ‘Aladdin ka chirag.’ We hope they find the guys who cheated him, but more importantly, we hope this guy is not anybody’s doctor.

  • 121: Ironman balloon, Indian couple jailed in Qatar, No-mask punishment in Mumbai
    Mumbai city’s BMC takes to some creative ways to fix the menace of people not wearing masks in public.

Also there’s the heartbreaking story of a young couple that lands in a Qatar jail for carrying 4kgs of hashish. While the NCB is trying to get them out, the lads speculate if all is as it seems.
