The Chili Oil Special

**Romesh Ranganathan** (0:00)
Hello, everybody, and welcome to the Thursday edition of The Romesh Ranganathan Show.
I'm joined by Queen Shanthi, everyone's favorite, and the animals who are full of mutton rolls from Mum once again. How many mutton rolls did you bring today?

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (0:13)
30

**Romesh Ranganathan** (0:14)
30 30

**SPEAKER_3** (0:16)
I had five.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (0:17)
Have you honestly had five? Have you had five? I had two.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:20)
I didn't eat much yesterday, so.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (0:22)
I had two.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (0:23)
Yeah.
That's what a normal person would have by this time of the day. Will?

**SPEAKER_4** (0:27)
I've had two.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (0:28)
Two.
John? I've had four. Four?

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (0:30)
Georgie? Two.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (0:32)
Two. So you've had the most.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:34)
I think I might have only had three. Yeah.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (0:36)
It's all for them. They can eat as many as they like.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (0:40)
So how many do you reckon you top out at for the day?

**SPEAKER_3** (0:42)
I'm close. I'm sweating a little bit.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (0:44)
Oh yeah.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (0:45)
Do you feel uncomfortable, a little bit uncomfortable? Five is a lot, isn't it?

**SPEAKER_3** (0:48)
It's too many.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (0:49)
I'm not food-shaming you by the way, but I'm actually almost respecting it. But five.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:57)
Okay, let's move on from that though.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:59)
Five.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (1:00)
They're big as well, aren't they?

**SPEAKER_3** (1:01)
They are big.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:02)
Yeah, they're big. Too many. Yeah, it's definitely too many.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (1:04)
Would you have another two, do you reckon, before?

**SPEAKER_4** (1:06)
You can. You can.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (1:07)
Like we've got the evening ahead of us.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:09)
Yeah.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (1:09)
You do find them delightful, don't you?

**SPEAKER_3** (1:11)
They're my favorite thing.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (1:12)
Yeah. So-

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (1:14)
My favorite thing is aubergine curry.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:16)
Favorite thing is aubergine curry, then your mutton curry. Yeah.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (1:19)
Yeah. Yeah. Because there's a possibility that you'll start to feel hungry again before the end of the day, right?

**SPEAKER_4** (1:23)
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (1:24)
Could you see yourself turning to mutton rolls again? No.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (1:29)
No, don't.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:29)
No? Why? Why? Then no.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (1:31)
You spoil the dinner, isn't it?

**Romesh Ranganathan** (1:33)
But you could have them for dinner.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (1:35)
No, put them in the freezer. You can have it later.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:37)
Okay, put them in the freezer.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (1:38)
Because you- Yeah.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (1:40)
How many would you take home?

**SPEAKER_3** (1:43)
I'd probably let everyone else take what they need, but I'd probably take four or five.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:47)
Four or five, yeah.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (1:48)
So that's another morning.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (1:49)
Why do you want to know all these?

**Romesh Ranganathan** (1:51)
I'm just interested.
Okay.
Now, it's a random Thursday in the middle of the summer, so the team thought you deserved another special. They really like the specials. I'm gonna tell you this. This team love the specials. They get worried about giving a bit of oomph, and so they've decided to do a special. And I don't know if you've guessed. Should we put these on, Mum?

**SPEAKER_3** (2:17)
It's up to you.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (2:18)
You don't have to.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:18)
You're gonna keep it there if you prefer, Shanthi.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (2:22)
Apparently, there's lots of emails and messages about this subject. So without further ado, welcome to the Chili Oil special.
Chili Oil. Chili Oil. Chili Oil.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:36)
Chili Oil.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (2:37)
What do we like? Chili Oil. What do we want more of? Chili Oil. What do we love?

**SPEAKER_6** (2:42)
Chili Oil.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (2:44)
Chili Oil.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (2:57)
With me, Shanthi.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (3:00)
On Monday, we had sports forecaster, Kelly. Look at this, guys.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (3:06)
What is it? How do you pronounce that name? Laganma.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (3:10)
Laganma.

**Shanthi Ranganathan** (3:11)
Laganma.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (3:12)
Can you move the chip?

**SPEAKER_3** (3:12)
We'd love to see more of that chili on your head. Is it possible?

**Romesh Ranganathan** (3:17)
This is like every fucking photo shit I've ever done.
Romesh, we really love what you do. Great shots. Really great shots. Just wondering if you could do like an energy, like give it a bit of... How's that?

**SPEAKER_3** (3:31)
That is great.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (3:31)
How about this?

**SPEAKER_4** (3:32)
Swap sides.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:34)
That's quite nice.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:35)
Is that good? Will it stay?

**SPEAKER_3** (3:36)
Quite aggressive actually.

**Romesh Ranganathan** (3:37)
It will stay, yeah.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:38)
Yeah, that's wicked.
