  • 80: Airport urinator - Minisode
    Juvenile from the get go, looks like the lads have come full circle to what suits them best. This minisode features them looking at an airport pee-er from every angle and splitting hairs with much dexterity and a tiny bit of first-hand experience even. Best enjoyed in a place far far away from anything edible. You've been warned.

  • 79: Food bill heist - Minisode
    A couple of moderately ambitious businessmen decide to dupe the Taj Mahal hotel and escape without paying the tab for banquet services. The lads jump in and help you look at it from both sides. First, the hotel’s POV, next they help you come up with your own strategies, should you desire to not part with money for food you enjoy and fine establishments of all shapes and sizes. Warning: Results may vary.

That out of the way, the lads put on their Nehru jackets and go about dissecting the the burning CAA issue and what’s really going on. Catch them drop pearls of political insight, as they try very hard to sound informed. Also HNY, he he.

  • 72: Uber listening on trips, Duped senior citizen, Marathon heist
     Fraud takes up a good chunk of this week’s giggles. But first there’s the case of Uber deciding to listen-in on all conversation as an act of security, and the lads break this down with ferocious ignorance. Next they unravel the curious case of a Mumbai senior who lost Rs. 1.5 Crore to a scamster on a European social networking app. And lastly, they turn their attention to the lo-fi heist where a bunch of thieves looted the cars of runners at a marathon event. Low in tech, but hi-fi in concept.  Payment link for Biryani w/the lads -

  • 71: Iraqi protest lion, BMC pothole challenge, Missing millionaire son
    The lads are back in character, after their short departure last week. Up top it’s the Iraqi protester who took a lion to an anti-government rally that catches their fancy. Next they move to the internet-friendly story of the Mumbai municipality giving away money for potholes they could not fix, in under 24 hours. And lastly, they dig into the heart-wrenching story of the 19 year old son of a millionaire who ran away from home and survived by working at highway eateries. Keep those tissues handy, this last one’s an emotional fap.
