  • 90: Coronavirus stories, Kerala liquor shops
    The lockdown continues, but so does the show. This episode features the lads exchanging warm, fuzzy stories about their lives in quarantine because it seems like we could all use a little of that human goodness right about now. Shortly after this break from character, they proceed to examining the situation in Kerala, or to be more precise, the sale of alcohol situation in Kerala. Followed by a little unsolicited advice on how you can do your bit, stay safe and be good citizens. Oh! and more thing, no touch-y!

  • 85: Duped B.Tech dairy students, Expensive wedding invite, BSNL hunger strike
    A group of students from Kerala was duped and left stranded on the pretext of a study trip. Lucky for them, the Kerala government came to their rescue. BSNL employees on the other hand has not been so fortunate with government intervention, as they enter day 2 of their hunger strike. Catch the lads wax insensitive about the ills of the young and the old, but first they must unravel the mystery of what could have easily been the world’s most expensive wedding cards.

  • 84: Champagne thief, IAS-IPS officer wedding, Bathing in kitchen sink
    Stories that range from theft to commitment in the line of duty and lastly to absolute disdain for the workplace. Catch the lads soak it all up in this juicy riot that will have you wondering if perhaps you could use a more fun job or maybe even a job that demands more from you. And if you aren’t employed there’s always a career in crime, and the recruiters rarely need you be qualified. Kindly note, this is not a career advice show, any resemblance to any characters is purely coincidental.

  • 83: NASA Space hotel, Google maps, Tik-tok choking challenge
    This episode takes the lads to space and back, as NASA announces its first ever space hotel on the ISS. Back on earth, it’s Google maps that is at the heart of a story that deserves recognition for its human-ness, an oxymoron for stupidity here. And lastly, the dangerous trend of kids trying to choke themselves for the rush and potential popularity on social media platform Tik-tok. Kids, seriously DO NOT try this at home.

  • 82: AC local, JJ Hospital surgery, Crow meat
    The lads try to make sense of a very baffling and entertaining side of our country. Our collective human ability to produce ridiculous news takes centre stage this week, with these three stories. The newly delivered AC locals in Mumbai, a precision surgery at JJ Hospital and lastly the poachers who were killing crows for their meat only to sell it to street side chicken stalls. Suitable for vegetarians.

  • 81: Coronavirus
    One of the lads is back from their honeymoon, and the other of the lads can’t contain their excitement. But quickly the excitement dust settles, and travel stories abound. Leading us to the hot topic this week of the virus that is turning out to be China’s fastest growing export. The lads put on their white jackets, the kinds fake doctors do in ads, and turn into pseudo-scientists for what is a solid dose of gargantuan ignorance. Warning: Topical use only, not for oral consumption.
