As GLP1 drugs get approval for Type 2 Diabetes treatment in India, Tony and Nitin get deep into Ozempic and its likes, debating the moral, ethical and commercial questions around them, and other cosmetic procedures. Stay on for the last third of this discussion, where they imagine the challenges of keeping the spark alive in a world full of dopamine, that also features shortcuts that can destroy the joy of experience involved in food, exercise and creativity.

Nearly a 100 years ago, John Maynard Keynes predicted that we would only need to work 15 hours a week. While he may not have got that part right (yet), the fundamental problem to solve for humans on earth remains the same as it always did - how do we make sense of our lives?

Join Nitin and Tony as they tackle profound topics with the silliest humour.

Tony and Nitin train their guns at two hot button issues in India right now, and they also train their guns at each other. Hastha la vista baby! We are back!

As LoL enters its 40s, the co-hosts, both shuddering at the thought of entering their own 40s take a gander at age, life experience, wearing your stripes with grace and being good whimsical uncles with Instagram, rather than LinkedIn skills.Tell your friends about this podcast no? What's the worst that can happen :-)

Short-lived trends, long-lived trends, trends you see coming from a distance, trends that come out of nowhere... Tony and Nitin try to understand what's going on. And in the process, also reveal the perfect idea for a viral video. Don't miss it, this is your ticket to fame on the internet!

In this madcap episode, Nitin and Tony get together to discuss the deterioration of society as evidenced by the fall in what's considered basic courtesy. Should you be given free gravy with porotta? Why should we rename Mysore Pak? And what do standing seats in an airplane mean.

One thing is for sure, the world me go mad, but our intrepid hosts of Leftover Lasagne are up to the task.

There are several things in the world that are plainly wrong, and we continue to use and abide by them inspite of knowing full well that they are incorrect. In this episode, Tony and Nitin shine the light on some of these quirky entities - from the MBTI personality test, to our flawed understanding of dietary cholestrol and antibiotics, and distorted land maps - why we stick to them, and what that says about us.

We strongly recommend two podcasts in this episode. Do check them out.

Trump's Tariff Tomfoolery has led to Chinese creators letting the cat out of the bag, and showing us the nuts and bolts of how luxury goods are made.

Naturally, the intrepid explorers of Leftover Lasagne want to understand what differentiates a commodity from a brand, are brands important, does India really have an elite institution problem, and why we pay what we do for Bags, Tags, and Brags.

The latest episode of LoL explores what it means to be artistic from various current affairs angles. The recent Malayalam movie Empuraan has run into censor trouble over its allegedly religiously (read politically) sensitive content; The Ghibli filter has inundated our timelines, sparking stone-pelting outrage as well as server-melting outage in equal measure; Meanwhile, Kunal Kamra has gone off camera, hiding from goons with big weapons, small brains and thin skin.

Tony and Nitin bring curiosity and commentary to all of that and more, in Episode 36.

ALERT: IF YOU RECOMMEND THIS PODCAST TO 5 FRIENDS, NIRMALA TAI WILL GIVE YOU A TAX REBATE IN FY25-26. Or not. But you never know, eh.

Nisha Dhage makes a comeback to the podcast, and she's joined by first-timer Shruti Kapoor, to school the boys on what fashion means, from a women's PoV. If our fashion takes on Episode 34 were vague, Ep 35 is all Vogue; From botox to brains, from bald spots to boobs, no topic is spared. And when it comes to some parts of the anatomy, we are the Amazon of podcasts, since it is always Day 1 when you are learning from Tony, the masto-master. Strap on...
