This week on Spender Bender, Govind and Hoshang talk to Antariksh about the many things they've been spending (and wasting) their money on - from full-blown badminton kits, to instant chai, to getting seemingly scammed by their internet providers (Jio and TataPlay Fiber!), one of them having had a Chaayos store franchise and mulling over the possibility of Hoshang buying an 'ice bath tub' for his drawing room and a treadmill for his bedroom.
