Feel like we need a Ranganathan only show every few weeks,the way shanti talks to Dinesh compared to Romesh is hilarious 😆 oh shut up Romesh
Funny guy, let himself down equivocating about whether or not Jordan Peterson was ok or not. How much of his audience does he need to tip toe around on this subject? Let’s steer clear of Gaza, Iran, Zionism, apartheid and genocide too and that way we wont upset the apple cart. He was great in Last one laughing, although and he was cheated out of winning by Jimmy (another comedian sitting on the fence)
As the title implies, I was highly amused.
Worth a listen
