Simblified Half-Pints

I, V, M. I can't in the beginning and takes a little getting used to but once you get used to him he's the only one you will want hello Tony I literally love ipi I can't taste any other craft beer now so then we have shriek it the hef voice and the most universally loved bright and happy since he spent some time in Gujarat he has the lowest abd of the lot and since he spent time in Gujarat he also has a tinge of orange in him hey hey shriek it's a bit for that to lie but by volume i don't know what the entire etymology of hef voice and is but l hef in spanish is the chief so all the things are fast fantasy then we have marin aka the stout and no this is not a fat joke we craft beer fans are better than that like a good coffee stout marin is aged is smoky af quite creamy and given his recent abstinence is quite rare to find at a moon by brewery these days cheers marin thank you and as for me i'm chuck do we say af or af have we have to have autofocus have you got something for you or are we allowed to describe you i didn't bother writing up my for my so so equate me to whatever swill you will like chuck is like one of those Belgian beers absolutely priceless right guys yeah absolutely yeah i think there are quite a few price tags on the no no chuck is our cider he's our insider insider insider oh i couldn't think of it much better than that at this time no at this point i actually ran out of beer style so which is why i didn't bother him inside i think chuck is like in the spry no like i heard of his time oh wow wow wow three people from sav millisose while marketing team have just so our point is lead our life's work has been validated wow in the spread well that's a that's a good definition so people who have been long suffering listeners of the show will know that like facebook's parent company whenever we run out of ideas we just introduce a new format so we'd like to welcome all of you to the first ever episode of simplified half times for one episode a month each of us comes up with one small news item or one interesting thing we've read one fact or heck lacking anything else of easy would have was monologue it's sort of like no such thing as a fish but you get all the simplified benefits that is less research and more bad jokes simplified half points 250 ml each of fun leading to a litter of simplification which is why there are signs put up do not litter so that the simplified folks do not go off kilter because they're humor no snow filter beautiful amazing well done time we'll close the episode now this part of the podcast goes straight into the litter and here simplified listeners we know we'll know that this episode has already peaked so you would you prefer this going into the litter or going into the bin thing for our the inevitable simplified bugle crossover crossover crossover or intersection if you haven't been hearing anything so far basically one random fact each and we will start a naren who actually stopped the idea for this saying on our simplified board meeting that we should do with this and that episode to put in all pieces of vicinity so naren why don't you take it away you have a very interesting fact to begin this so first i just want to ask you guys if you know about this organism called the ad's egypti oh is it the mosquito that causes malaria exactly so it's not a mosquito that causes malaria it is actually the mosquito that causes it's a mosquito that causes uh dengue and also denguey denguey denguey denguey denguey is uh is it denguey denguey? clearly you do not know the more colorful parts of scale go God bless you the most denguey in the person who gets it is denguey denguey also chikungunya and also yellow fever and the curious thing is this in india so in india we have chicken, guñav, we have dengue of course, and it's quite a serious problem. So till recently, and the dengue is still around, it's just that medical professionals have figured out how to manage it well.

There's really no cure for it. You just have to manage, make sure that the patient gets enough fluids to survive all the toxins of the virus. And that's why otherwise a lot of people used to die of dengue. The fatality rates are way down now.

And that's thanks to just thanks to better management, it's no cure. The thing is that- Definitely no thanks to papayalese. Yeah, no thanks to papayalese. What are the other things?

I think kiwifruit or dragonfruit or something, a lot of non-specific, yeah. Somebody told me that right. Because the sounds like a marketing campaign by Nixos Basquito something. Like all basic expensive fruits.

Basic funda about dengue is that your platelet count apparently goes down and the old wives tale or old uncles wisdom is that if you eat the papayalese, somehow your platelet count will come up, which is obviously nonsense, not how that happens. But anyway, now I believe there are like papayaleef extract tablets and all, but yeah, that works. Just like stay in bed and get over it. That's a good thing.

I know I had this papayaleef thing, but it's supposed to be quite wild tasting. That's which is the reason why these tablets have a market. Yeah, exactly. That's why it has a market.

While tasting it is the more efficacious you think it is. I'm talking about plants, a complete offshoot as happens here. Is that kind of got me into the placebo versus actual effect of thinking again? Because my father had his pain in his leg for a long time.

And he was like, even to the doctor, the doctor said it's just, I mean, there's this U.S. K sketch from way back when it says, after you're a certain age when you go to a doctor, they just take a scan of your leg and they say, nothing can be done. It's just shitty now. Right?

So what do you do is, you know nothing, you stretch it, till the time you die, until the time you and your shitty ankle die. So basically my father got a similar kind of die because his ankle is worn out. So, so it hurt him a lot and he died every time of Alo Bati or whatever. And then he goes and downstairs, so he goes and sits with a bunch of uncles downstairs every evening.

And one of those uncles says, this is one particular leaf and he takes him to the leaf tree and he just takes this leaf and wrap your foot in it for 10 days. All right. And so my father is wrapping his foot in the leaf. I was like, I'll take it out of the cup.

I'll wrap your foot in whatever you want. It had to be slightly feeling better and also I'm like, okay, I'll do this leaf up and all. And there's no Alo Bati cure. I mean, it's not supposed to fix this ankle.

For the placebo thing of it is so strong that I mean, I'm pretty sure I gone and picked out it even though it wouldn't have mattered. But some HTML like in a shaky voice told him to use it. So that's working really well. Yeah.

This, you know, before I forget, I mean, before I go on with my, yeah, what was the fact I forgot to come to that? Yeah, I sure. Yeah. This is simplified.

We have plenty of branches. Yeah. Thank you. So we have, I have to tell you my placebo story is my favorite placebo story before I forget.

There's nothing to do with the topic and hand but that's just to be given the rain. Just to be getting a ticket. Yeah. I'll tell my placebo thing very quickly because I'm pretty sure I'm going to forget.

I've got the main fact written down so I won't be able to. I won't forget the fact that yeah. So the placebo factor does follow. Right.

So my wife, my wife's uncle, very, very jovial, witty guy. He told me this. He had a nephew who was like, you know, when this guy was about 12, 13 years old, this nephew was maybe three or four and he used to live around Mango, you know, nice, you know, a lot of fields and things around. And he decided to go to the river.

There was a river a few hundred meters away and he took this nephew along and then they sort of played in the river and then this nephew says, uncle, I want to do number two. So now this guy did some quick thinking. He said if I have to, you know, there are fields, so it's not a problem. But you know, then I have to do all his washes, but everything else.

He's not really looking for that experience. So he told him, he picked up a pebble and he told him you take the pebble and put it under your armpit. And as long as the pebble is in your armpit, you won't, you know, you won't have to do number two. And the kid did that and he took that kid right from the river to home, like good 15, 20 minutes and the kid held onto it.

And then once it was at home, he handed over the kid to the kid's mother to do all the necessary things. So power up. And the stone and the stone and the stone and the stone and the stone and the stone and the stone and the stone. The stone and the stone and the stone and the stone.

Nice round black colour pebble. Perfect. Yeah. So once I scandalised everyone on Twitter by saying everyone who's travelled from Bangalore, Oh, and I know Kerala probably has had like, you have to stop the bus in the middle of somewhere to go number two somewhere.

Like it's inevitable because like, there are few of these shady restaurants around Madi Walla from where you get onto the bus and basically like they are all Malua restaurants, but like during the middle of the night, you'll basically need to find the stone to put it in your bedroom. Good startup, right? Yeah, my fact. So the fact is this the same mosquito is responsible for chicken conia for dengue and for yellow fever.

And the thing is there is no yellow fever in India. And no one knows why. This is not true. As someone who was in Kerala this weekend, I can very firmly say that half of Kerala is yellow and half of Kerala is albus el-state because the football world is on.

On the topic, one thing that you're very right about is that there's a very prominent like when you go in Bombay, when you go to the airport, on the airport, like where you have to take the turn to find the airport flyover is where you can actually see a pretty big prominent yellow fever hospital. I've gone there and I've taken a yellow fever because if you go to Africa, I went to Africa once, you need that yellow fever vaccination. They won't let you in. They won't let you in back without yellow fever vaccination card.

So it's very important. But there is for some mysterious reason, not that anyone is complaining. It's not present in Asia, yellow fever. It's not there.

The other diseases are there and they are as lethal as anything else. Chicken conia was pretty dangerous. Dengue is very dangerous. And there is no luckily no yellow fever.

I can't seem to find out any reason why this is so. But that's what it is. That's my curious fact for this. Your fact kind of reminds me of what makes me think about it.

Sometimes you see the consolidation is here, here also. Sometimes you say, no, this brand is all owned by the same parent company. It's an episode on this. I think during the never ending 150th episode many years ago, where the same conglomerate of Mosquito was responsible for these three kinds of diseases.

So bloody hell, there is a consolidate. They have a monopoly on diseases. It seems not letting other insects have a chance. What are the other vectors?

I want to say vectors. What are the other common vectors? Like flies for any like flies? Yeah, flies.

There is an rat. Fleas are infamous for the bubonic plague. Can we have fleas in India? Yeah, they are the infest.

So the bubonic plague was a particular kind of flea which lived on rodents. It started in, so this is another curious thing. So it was an unusually warm series of warm summers in Mongolia. And the grasslands were first clean of your novel that you have no doubt about.

Well, this was better to be Ulan better than this. So there it was unusually warm series of summers and the grasslands were blooming. And one of the denizens of the last trend was this little squirrel called a marmot which the local Mongolians loved. And there were lots of armors.

They hunted them. They ate a lot of protein in their diet. Everyone did very well. Populations grew.

And a young child named Temujin was born who later became Genghis Khan. Wow. Genghis Khan went marauding. So he started conquering from Mongolia on the east, went right up to the gates of Rome.

I think it reached up to Turkey, Saqbatale. And after him, a few of his succeeding generations also did. So they had a supply chain too. So they had camels and horses and what have you carrying booty back and carrying people and whatever from Mongolia.

There. And one of the hitchhikers on those caruands was this little pest which was the flea which was responsible for the plague. And Mongolians were pretty immune to it. It wasn't, plague didn't hit them as badly as it hit the Europeans because when finally it reached Europe, there was no resistance.

It just spread through Europe like a wildfire. And what that resulted in was it affected people, poor people more, poorer people more because they used to live in more cramps around. So the probability of spreading was much higher. And that's why a lot of the working class population just vanished.

People estimate 60%, 50%, 70% of the working class population just died. And that enabled the remaining working class people to do their tremendously in demand. You ever wanted to wash your amendment, people to cook, whatever, clean, do all those things. They were able to demand a higher wages.

And that is one of the reasons. What do you say? Yeah, the laws and all that started. Yeah.

But also with the flea is what you're saying. Also with the flea. Yeah. And we were connecting that with the vector.

Yeah. And there's also, of course, modern day, there's also something called designer's disease. But that's when they searched for stock images and that's another kind of. I think that's a, okay, shall we close out that.

We still, sorry, you're still perfecting this transition sort of thing. So, okay, here's my fact. I want to say, this is on sparkling water. One of my, why is of the year, it all started with, of course, which we came recommending sparkling water earlier in the year and then things quickly leading to a Mr.

Butter machine coming home. We enjoy sparkling water because of an evolutionary quirk. Can you figure out what that evolutionary quirk could be? If it was V, just the four of us, then it's because it's full of gas.

Yeah. Which gas? The answer actually lies in your. Carbon dioxide.

Carbon dioxide. So what role could carbon dioxide have been for? Carbon dioxide is we were plants at some point of time? Close enough.

I'm just writing, I'm just writing alternative histories at this point. That's all you need to join the media. So, we evolved at some point of time to be able to detect carbon dioxide as food goes bad, so that we were able to keep, you know, like not eat food that had gone rotten. But then you might say, if we indeed found the taste or the mouth feel of carbon dioxide or probriest, then why do we enjoy sparkling water, which in some sense is like carbon dioxide or the mouth, carbon dioxide or something of that sort.

So, the reason that scientists reckon for this is the same reason that some humans like spice, which is, there's a certain. I thought you were going to say like panyu. Oh, don't take to get panyu. It's based.

Okay, I'm just quoting from an article. The closest analogy is spicy foods. Black in 97, a psychologist called Paul Rosen released a paper arguing that spicy foods were an example of people enjoying situations in which their bodies want them of danger, but they know that they are really okay. So it's sort of like living on the edge, sort of like from that kind of interesting for both the spice part and the CO2 part.

A few things we were discussing this on Twitter earlier today, whether carbonated water is good for you and all that and even before this particular recording that and I was just discussing that. So, neck net, it seems to be that carbonated water, which is basically, you know, this water with a little bit of CO2 in it, nothing else, like if you're there are details like sugar and all that. But this myself seems to have very, very minimal impact on the body. Maybe a little bit of a foam mammal or something, but studies are so negligible, shows such negligible difference that you're pretty safe having it.

And if it acts as a substitute for cola or something, then obviously, it's going to be much healthier. A few facts on this carbonated water is acidic, carbon dioxide water react chemically to produce carbonic acid, a weak acid, that's being shown to stimulate the same nerve receptors in your mouth as mustard. This triggers a burning prickly sensation that can be both irritating and enjoyable, also a tagline for simplified, the pH of carbonated water is three to four, which means it's I think how about drinking and acidic beverage like carbonated water does not make your body more acidic This is all from helpline copy tasted as is They say your body will still be basic Oh nice, nice. I'm the chemical engineer and the two-key metallurgy guy too That's all and I'm the guy who's interested in heavy metal I'm the guy who's interested in heavy metal That's all, this is how it was supposed to be now instead of you going to a plant I don't know what all I say I was thinking about something to add about this So one time I went to Germany and they extensively learned almost everyone drinks sparkling water And basically it's called soda only if it comes from the soda region in France otherwise it's just called sparkling water So in Germany clearly you've got fucking water Cannot tell if you're bullshitting like you've reached that level of Andy's ultimateness I cannot tell But I thought this is a famous form I mean format by now the actual one is it is called champagne only if it comes from the champagne region of France Otherwise it's not being wine Other things like it's a bonsie scheme only if it comes from the ponzi region of France Otherwise it's called sparkling Okay, okay, here's a nice thing which I expect at least one of you to get So I actually googled soda Germany right now What was the first result to come up?

There's a town called soda in Germany No, there's nothing related to a town Something related to the World Cup by missing Oh no, it's not related to the World Cup There's a good guess it is a very famous soft drink related factor on Germany Santa? Santa yes Santa has a situation for Nazi Germany Hey, that's not a factor so you've got a bonus factor with this factor But I have to blame it before you interrupt it Yeah, I have to blame it I have to interrupt it but go on So all the daisies are going nuts right? So we are not used to drink in carbonated water I you know we ask everybody none of us speaks German So you ask people and they listen to everything And the rescuers still give you carbonated water So there's one guy finally who started He took a bottle of carbonated water The lady gave it to him And he launched it to a rant about how you people give carbonated water What a terrible country this is You don't know the beauty of all kinds of rants And she patiently listened to all of it Then he opens the bottle and he drinks it And he's wondering that this is going to be carbonated water And actually turns out to be still water So she pays she looked very very sheepishly apologizing And stuff was that expression was priceless Yeah, another option of what he was saying about Santa I just want to point out a very very cool campaign That actually coke did on Santa in South America in Brazil On I think it was LGBTQ week And there's a popular because there was a capitalizing on a popular saying in Brazil That was where people would mock LGBTQ people In like the homophobe people in South America would mock LGBTQ people By saying that basically saying this coke is a fanta Right? So basically it's a code for saying that this person is gay So this coke is a fanta So what coke did during that week was specifically was they actually launched limited edition coke cans Where inside there was fanta actually Oh, that's fine And they tried to reclaim that entire thing by saying that You know what?

If the coke is a fanta it's actually a great surprise It's actually a fun surprise for that So they actually tried to reclaim that by launching So I think it was called a Saka Koka Ia Fanta or something like that Which is basically this coke is a fanta And they reclaim that term by saying that it's such a great surprise If the coke is a fanta because they basically own both brands anyway Nice From Germany to Brazil I want to bring this podcast back to its intellectual heart Which is the bee of simplified with the fact that Mr. Butler actually has its registered address in Panempa Panempa in another Of course And Manani is so excited by this That if there is a company that is registered at the registered address in Kerala, we are all full into So much like that Is it a tax? Is it a tax? It's not the same as that it's actually from Kerala No, no, they actually there Like fourth standard, everyone's picnic used to be to the modern bread factory In high school in Italy Because literally only two factories get excited by the from Father Brochia.

Welcome back to Simplified Half-Bines. We are halfway through our Steine. Is that what a literal beer is called in German? Whatever.

Yeah. We're halfway through and now we move on to Tony's Fact. Yeah why not? So I'll check you started this episode by referencing PG Woodhouse and No Sex Stings of Fish.

I want to bring fish and woodhouse together and bring it out for a good house. I believe this is what I'm joining the morning. And this is I think Bertie was just saying, it is not like you to be a defeatist. Don't give it up.

Go and broad in the kitchen. There may be some fish there. Did you notice any when you were there yesterday? Only a tin of anchovy paste.

My heart sank a bit. Ancho v placed is a slender read on which to lean in a major crisis. So. Oh I remember this over.

Yeah. So this well-loved fish that is anchovy has references in Fish Rock by Thaikodum Bridge twice. It is also called Nitholi and Damit. I'll do it with the other one.

Again Tony, your subtles putting of Indian Indian indies rock lyrics into every... ... recording is not going unnoticed. But anyway, yes.

Yeah twice. There is Nitholi and there is one more name that I'm forgetting. There is also Vero Ris, very famous across woodhouse Kerala, but also in Peru. Where apparently like centuries ago.

So in Peru anchovy is actually used to feed the livestock because their lands are not very farmable. I'm sure there is a better term for that, but you can't grow too much grass or anything on that because of the terrain and stuff like that. So they use anchovy to feed livestock and also eat it, but they have tons of fish. And during Christmas time, basically fishermen noticed in Peru a long time ago that suddenly during some years the anchovy would not come into their nets at all.

Because it happened around Christmas time, they gave this phenomenon the name El Nino de Navidait. Or as we can call it Christmas child. El Nino sounds very nice, but if we call it baby, someone in Kerala you will probably smoke. So that is the origin of El Nino and why this was relevant when we came up with this thought a few weeks ago was that Australia was hosting a World Cup and there were rains throughout the World Cup.

So this is caused due to the opposite phenomenon of El Nino, which is related to it, which is called La Nina. So essentially if you look at Pacific Ocean, which is a bloody huge ocean, on the East, like Peru and South America and on the West, like Australia, Indonesia and the lot. And in between this, there's nothing but a big stretch of ocean and winds basically. So there are three states to this.

There is a neutral state when nobody is any the wiser. Then there is a state called El Nino where the waters are, I want to say warmer in Peru and Australia causes this whole thing of fish going off the bite and what is warming and lots of floods in South America, probably in North America as well and droughts in Australia. And the condition is reversed when the trade winds become stronger. Trade winds are basically winds that blow from Peru to Australia in that sense.

And basically just by the slight modification of this winds, lots of nonsense happens. Either there is a drought or a flood depending upon where you are placed in the seven-year cycle. So yeah, that's basically what I wanted to say as the fact that is known to everyone, but also we never bother to read it up because it didn't feature in our seventh-century geography. We already educated about this fact because of Tony's reel that he had posted about it anyway.

And Jovis are enormous. They come in huge schools. So that's why they are... They're very learning fish.

Yeah, yeah, not so much. I learned about... So the one thing is in Southeast Asia, as you mentioned, they're extremely popular. People love putting that on anything at all.

They can find their hands on. Especially when I was in Malaysia and being a vegetarian over there was constantly hazardous. While they would understand vegetarian as far as food is concerned, the seasoning would always be like the anchovies seasoning on top of everything. So you basically have always had to order over there, you order your food, you say vegetarian and then say no, you can't do this.

You can't do this in the anchovies. You have to make sure you say no, you can't do this every time. Otherwise, your food will come nicely seasoned with anchovies. Yeah, so I had a related fact with this if I could get to it.

It's basically gone. So we spoke of La Nina. There is this very popular American caricature. It was known as Al Hirschfent.

I want to say and he had a daughter called Nina, not Nina, but Nina. So whenever he did a caricature from the time she was born, he would hide the word Nina in every single one of his caricatures from then. And then it became such a fascination that people wanted to find where it is. So it became like a puzzle on its own.

So Nina took on significance from there to the most common puzzle back in the day, which was crosswords, where you would find that there were random, unconnected boxes in a crossword. And you would put in messages there, like my editor has a jackass or like Monty Python's flying stuff. What are the cooler ones that I saw was stalactites going down and stalactites going up. So it's like unconnected to everything in the clue.

But basically Nina is what it's called in a crossword if you find some hidden things there. So there you go. And for Nina that one of us has done, you can go back and listen to the episode on Crucivar Buddhism, where Tony was not related to the stage of a simplified post and was just a mere guest. He talks about it.

I thought, I guess it was the demotion. Tony and I came as exalted guests and then we were like, that's true. Right. So close this.

The two references to Fishrock is during the alternate chorus. He says, Choluva, which is also anchovy and like Netholi, which is there in the prominent one, which is also anchovy. Alright. So this has been a knowledge fact episode till now and will shriek it.

Yeah. And also all the time to do my research has been during that earlier. I just took one thing. So it's basically mine is, it's not even one fact, it's four tiny facts and all around the World Cup.

And four interesting things that I found around the World Cup, like funny things that have happened, have been happening to the World Cup going on right now. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Okay. Okay. New rule for new rule at least for the next three months. Whenever you use the World Cup, please signify, please mention which sport because both of you said World Cup right now talk about two completely different sports.

Yeah. I mean, this is crucial because our partners are famously immemorial, right? Like, so like people listen to it at any point of time. So we are listening multiple hours.

Yeah. So I'm referring to the FIFA Federation International Fairview. Oh, wow. World Cup 2022.

World Cup year of our law 2022. And yeah. So we are in this World Cup. Basically, what has happened is there's like four random unrelated funny facts that I found, funny things that I found through the World Cup.

So first was that, and this is also connected to another current geopolitical event that's happening, which is anti lockdown protests that are happening in China, right? So a lot. So while those anti lockdown protests are happening and there's a lot of like, right from that dominant is finding different ways to kind of curb the protests at home by restricting movement, by attacking people using those COVID apps, which are to track COVID, but actually now tracking them to find where protesters are venturing out to and all that stuff. So all of that is happening.

What they're also doing is obviously people in China are watching the World Cup as well, but the Chinese broadcaster who's getting that is actually there is a slight delay because they're live manipulating the feed to avoid showing any of the crowd shots because in China, because lockdown has been so stringent ever since I started that people would absolutely write if they discovered people are sitting in stadiums without masks. So because there it's like so stringent. So actually the feed that is being shown in China is absolutely devoid of any crowd shots. You are not going to be able to see any crowd shots whatsoever.

So that's the one random fact that I found that is going on right now. The second one, which takes us back to God's own country, takes us back to God's own country. Actually, yeah. So this is happening in Kerala where apparently a bunch of Portuguese fans, Christian and Hado fans were voicing the Portuguese flag and walking around and chanting about this thing.

And some local BJP worker got offended and thought it was about the flag of an Islamic party. And he told down the flag. And then after he started beating up all those guys as well. And he got arrested because he thought it was the Islamic party flag and not the Portuguese flag.

So yeah, that is another beautiful fact of God's own country and our own country here. So what is the fact is that that Hooligan got arrested which would happen only in God's own country. That is true actually like getting hit or something like that. Otherwise you'd have a bunch of really confused Christians and a lot of fans in previous.

So I don't know if you saw last night's match but basically those guys would have been like we didn't touch the world as a Christian. Good representation. And finally moving to Africa in Uganda. Apparently it's been a trend in previous World Cups that a lot of jail breakouts happened during the World Cup.

Because all the jailers are watching the match. So this time during the World Cup that all there is going to be a strict ban on using mobile phones during the tournament for the guards. Because they can keep an eye on the prisoners while they don't escape. So there is actually a reinforced ban.

They used to be the sole saying right? Committee of Sinswell is such an exciting because he was all this. Similar kind of situation. At the final fact as it is not really a fact per se but it was one of the bold things I saw during this week was the Saudi Arabian team.

So the Saudi Arabian team very famously beat Argentina in their opening match to one. And they were actually trailing at half time. They were trailing to a messy penalty at half time. And there is an amazing video out there and we will probably link it in the description.

So Harvay Renard is the coach of Saudi Arabian team. This guy is a Frenchman. And the Saudi Arabian team is obviously all Saudi Arabian. They speak Arabic.

Harvay Renard is a Frenchman who invariably does speak English. So this man is basically yelling at the team saying that he will just stand around. If you guys want to stand around watching Messi, why don't you just go up to him and ask him for a signature and all that. Don't ask him for a signature.

Why don't you take your phones and take a selfie with Messi. Yeah, take a selfie with Messi while you are playing and all that. He is betting these guys. But the best part is he has a translator with him.

He is yelling in English. There is a Saudi Arabian translator who is not just translating but he is also translating the tone. So the translator also yelling his head off at the players because he is trying to communicate what a coach is feeling. So these two guys are in tandem shouting at the players.

One is original, the other is a translation. So a key question to ask over here is the coach yelling at the translator or at the player. No, he is yelling at the players. So two people are yelling at the player.

That is what these guys are going to. They are going to be yelling at the player. No, one does is they come back and come back and come back from one goal down to win to one. Did you say that?

You didn't hear that over here. It's a good fight for him. So I did really have one fight but it is from around the World Cup. It is like three of us ordered one beer each and you just said I just ordered four like some of the tasters.

Some of the tasters are some plus because anyway they added two. And additionally I had a very delayed realization that I would be able to watch the next World Cup from my World Cup coming to Canada. And that will be the latest and best-you-go-s before I check you told us why don't you do this, and I reminded Narayan of the fact that he had posted on a group. And then he said it was a completely different fact that he has never posted.

He said, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, my fact is that I had this whole fact opened up and read a little bit about that and had jokes ready on that. And he was like basically with the other malaria nonsense. So anyway, they ultimately will decide whether this format will continue. Not you, not you guys, the listeners actually.

So let us know what you think of this format. Do we get to tell our listeners that we may be live on X day or Y place or is that like a close event? Yeah, sure, I'm actually not quite sure. So we are doing some kind of a live recording on the 8th of December, which is Thursday in Mumbai as part of an event.

I will post details of that somewhere on my Twitter or something of that sort. We'll figure that out. We don't have full details. That's why I'm not giving you any more details.

It's not the 150th episode continued. Let us know whether you like this format. If you'd like to send in a fact so that we can fill in the awkward gaps in our conversation, we can do that as well. We'll have a listener entry in every episode as well.

So yeah, that's pretty much about it. This is the first new format we have tried since we decided to phase out profundities. So yeah, take care guys. Stay safe, stay factual and stay simplified.
