Here you go, mum.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (0:02)
This was sent in for you.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (0:04)
Yeah.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (0:04)
Shall I open it for you?

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (0:06)
Did you buy this?

**Romesh Ranganathan** (0:07)
No. It was sent in to the podcast.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (0:12)
Okay.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (0:12)
Why don't you read the card?

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (0:15)
Dear Romesh and Shanthi, I here, I have accidentally landed myself in Shanthi's bad books. Hopefully, this helps.
Love?

**Romesh Ranganathan** (0:31)
Ben, congratulations on this fit, bro.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (0:34)
This?

**Romesh Ranganathan** (0:34)
Love it.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (0:36)
Suits you.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:38)
Yeah?

**Romesh Ranganathan** (0:38)
Yeah.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:40)
I think you look wonderful.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (0:41)
Yeah. I like the combination.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:44)
Yeah.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (0:45)
Brown and beige.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (0:49)
Why are you doing that face off the back? It suggests that you don't like it.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (0:53)
I love it. I love it. I wear things like that. Yeah.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (0:56)
There you go. You're dressing like a Sri Lankan woman in her 70s.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (1:02)
Why do you have to bring my age?

**Romesh Ranganathan** (1:05)
Should we start the app? Feels like we have. Yeah.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (1:18)
With me, Shanthi.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (1:21)
Ready?

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (1:22)
Yeah.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (1:22)
Okay. Yo, smack a ball back on the ass and call it daddy. It's The Romesh Ranganathan Show, Thursday Edition.
Yeah.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (1:39)
No swearing.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (1:40)
Do you want to do a sound effect? Do a sound effect, Rom.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (1:43)
Like what?

**Romesh Ranganathan** (1:44)
Anything you want.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (1:45)
Tukul tukul tukul tukul tukul.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:46)
Yeah.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (1:48)
Nice.
Every Thursday, we reflect on Monday's episode and answer your questions and dilemmas. As always, I'm joined by my mother, Shanthi Ranganathan.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (1:59)
Hi. Hi, everyone.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (2:01)
And the team, or as they've been officially been branded, the Uggos, little group of monsters, little trolls. You can't see, but they're in a little cage and they shit in it and it stinks. And we have to sort of put up a little barrier in between us and them, because otherwise the smell will be too repulsive to record the podcast.
Last week, we had the chili oil special, which was a lot. And today is going to be much more mango chutney slash raita. Raita.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (2:28)
Raita.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (2:29)
Raita vibes.
Mum, could you please introduce the show like you're a psychic with your crystal ball? There's a crystal ball next to you there. We've got props.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (2:39)
Oh, what am I going to say in mine?

**Romesh Ranganathan** (2:41)
You can just-

**SPEAKER_3** (2:42)
Imagine you're predicting the future of what this episode is going to be like.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (2:46)
Like that?

**Romesh Ranganathan** (2:46)
Yeah. Good.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (2:48)
It's like a ball.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (2:49)
Yeah. That's what it is. Okay, go for it. I don't know what you sort of-
What are you doing? Okay, go on. Good luck.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (2:58)
Right.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (2:59)
Down the barrel of the camera.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (3:01)
Hi, everybody.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (3:08)
I'm trying to help.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (3:10)
Do that again.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (3:11)
Okay. Woo. Go for it.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (3:14)
I hope Romesh Ranganathan Show, this episode will be successful and send so much love towards you. And please send e-mail to us. And I love you all.
That's it.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (3:33)
Okay. It's not... They're not sure...

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (3:35)
I didn't like it when I said.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (3:37)
No.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (3:38)
Yeah. What do... How do I say?

**Romesh Ranganathan** (3:40)
You want to do it like you're a psychic is predicting the future. Should I give it here?

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (3:45)
Okay.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (3:46)
Okay.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (3:51)
That's like a ghost coming.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (3:53)
This is Romesh, the psychic. And I predict many exciting and hilarious moments in this Thursday edition of the Romesh Ranganathan Podcast.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (4:02)
No. Something like that.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (4:03)
When you look into the ball though.
Oh, sorry. Okay. All right.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (4:07)
Yeah.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (4:07)
Cool.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (4:08)
Oh!
This is so... God.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (4:14)
I predict... What does it say? Oh, let me look into this.
It says that we are going to have some many hilarious moments on this Thursday episode of the Romesh Ranganathan Podcast.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (4:26)
Let him do that, darling. He's doing much better than me.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (4:30)
Yeah. Go on.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (4:31)
You do it.
I look like a mad woman. The whole... Oh, yeah.
