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.

1. All risk is creative, ft. Palash Kulkarni: https://x.com/ABiggerSpalash/status/1895715088545562876

2. Neuro-Spicy: Discussing ADHD with Dr. Kristin Carothers | What Now? with Trevor Noah Podcast - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkDvqvpxKBY

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...

Why do we dress up the way we do? Tony and Nitin uncover layers on what fashion represents in our self-image and in the way we lead our leaves. Do they ultimately find out that the emperor has no clothes? Listen in!

Kerala and Tamil Nadu sit next to each other in the southern tip of India. Yet, why is Malayalam cinema so remarkably different from Tamil cinema, and from all other Indian movie industries? From their lived experience of being Malayalee boys who have experienced slices of other Indian cultures, Nitin and Tony hack away at this question. The discussion leads them to geography, geology, language, migration, economics, politics, caste, patriarchy... But before they get there, they first need to decode the very best of Mohanlal and Kamal Haasan, in how they perform in the most pivotal scene in Drishyam.

Like the discussion? Agree with some of our thoughts? Or do you find most of what we have to say completely baseless proclamations? Let us know in the comments!

Nitin and Tony return after a month’s hiatus to celebrate one year of Leftover Lasagne! And in classic LoL fashion they try to figure out what the episode is about as they’re recording it. We figured this is actually the best way for you to build empathy for us. So meta no? Come jump in and enter our parenthesis labyrinth. Please share thoughts, laughs, tears, bouquets, brickbats, feedback, love and hate to us on Twitter/X/Instagram, @notytony and @knittins. We are all ears, and you may well end up giving us an idea for our next episode :-)
