What happens when you put two guys with too many opinions and not enough filters in a room together? You get this episode. Cyrus is joined by comedian and corporate escapee Punit Pania, and from the jump, absolutely nothing is off-limits. Mumbai's train chaos, automatic doors that'll cook you alive, India's walkability crisis, and Puneet's bold 19-trains-instead-of-20 economic theory. Then things get spicy. They dissect Samay Raina's unlikely glow-up, Ranveer Allahbadia's punchable energy, Kunal Kamra's legendary refusal to apologise, and the India-Pakistan peace talks nobody asked for but everyone has opinions about. Also featuring: a heartfelt nod to the iconic Asha Bhosle, expired protein shakes, and an OnlyFans conversation that went exactly as far as you'd expect. Punit's live in Gurugram on the 18th and Noida on the 19th go catch him before he pivots to railway ministry.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Cyrus Says! In this episode of Cyrus Says Cock & Bull, Cyrus hangs out with comedian, writer, and improviser Shantanu Anam… and things spiral almost immediately.

Somewhere in between, there’s cricket nostalgia, stand-up stories, political tangents, and debates that probably shouldn’t have happened on camera… but did anyway. It’s chaotic, opinionated, slightly unhinged, and makes zero effort to stay on track, exactly how Cock & Bull should be.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Abbas Momin is back, and Cyrus wastes absolutely no time, fat shaming him within the first 40 seconds. Classic. It's also Abbas's 38th birthday, which he's celebrating the way all single men approaching 40 do: a movie with two friends and zero romance prospects. We're basically his therapy session at this point. This week we tackle the big stuff, RCB selling for ₹16,000 crore (Vijay Mallya is somewhere crying into his beer), a Pune eatery taking on world peace one LPG surcharge at a time, and Dhurandar 2, which Abbas sat through for four hours and lived to regret. Ranveer Singh is shirtless. Sanjay Dutt points at his crotch. You've been warned. Also on the menu: 46,000 mangrove trees, Mohamed Salah's Liverpool farewell, a Statue of Liberty in Jalandhar wearing a saree, and Abbas accidentally revealing his Grindr situation on a podcast that his family definitely watches. Happy birthday, Abbas. This is the worst gift we could give you.
