Chapter 1: What humorous anecdotes open the discussion about Gandhi?
Gandhi, I've walked hundreds of miles to see you. Your hunger strike calling for non-violence is an inspiration to all of us. Where do you find such strength and courage? Child, a man must look deep within himself. Of course. Are you eating? No. No, sorry, of course you're Gandhi, you wouldn't be... As someone who wants to follow in your footsteps, where should I look to find such strength?
Over there. I think you should look over there. What, look at that tree or something? Is that Cheetos dust in your beard? It's just part of my beard. That's strange.
Chapter 2: How does the podcast introduce Gandhi's early life?
It really feels like you're snacking every time I look away.
How dare you? I'm on hunger strike.
Yeah, sorry. You travel all this way... Please, let me guide you in meditation. Of course, of course, Mahatma. Close your eyes. I want you to think of the evil the British are doing. Before we start a big... You were definitely eating then! You were definitely... Look at this! You're eating! You're not a hunger strike at all! You're stuffing your face! The fasting isn't the main thing, okay?
Chapter 3: What role does the British Raj play in Gandhi's upbringing?
It's not? No, it's actually about semen retention. Right. Only by controlling your own sexual urges can you ever be master of your own destiny. Okay. Well, I guess maybe that's what I've been struggling with because often weak moments I struggle... Sorry, are you using some sort of vibrating fleshlight? Gandhi! I'll give you a baby but if you don't tell anyone. Welcome back to Finn vs. History.
I'm joined by Horatio Gould. Mahatma Randi. And it's a big one today. It's the start of a huge series on Mahatma Gandhi. I didn't know much about Gandhi. I thought he was a bit annoying, to be honest.
Chapter 4: How did Gandhi's family background influence his beliefs?
I know he's a big deal. I had no idea how horny he was. Yeah, it's crazy. I had no idea. I mean, it joins a long tradition of horny holy men. Horny Indians. Well, this is the long road to show me your bobs now. And it makes so much sense when you realise the father of the nation was a real fuck. With a seam retention fucking perv. Oh, my God. This is great stuff.
We're finally listeners in the British Raj. Finally. You've been wanting this since we started the series. Now, there's not a TikTok account that exists called Rajcore.
Chapter 5: What significant events shaped Gandhi's character as a young man?
But if there was...
that i haven't followed i thought you're gonna say no no i can't find one right i i want to you know you see those accounts where it's like the 80s financial core yes and it's like finance guys in the 80s you live in new york in the 1980s and it was milan yeah you've got big suits and you're drinking whiskey you want to have the way i wake up in the british raj yes and it's not
Because that's what wakes you up now. That's Sadikistan now. That's Sadikistan in 2030. Right. I want to wake up in the British Raj. I want to be, you know, in a plinth helmet. I want to be drinking a cool drink. Gin and tonic. Gin and tonic or an iced tea. Being fanned. Being fanned by a punkawalla. I want to be carried on a sedan chair.
I want to be telling people off even though I'm wearing big shorts.
Chapter 6: How does Gandhi's marriage impact his life choices?
Funny. Funny. The Indian subjects were being told off, ordered around by a man wearing a safari suit with big shorts. Giant shorts. Giant shorts. The biggest shorts there's ever been. What are you doing? Get over there. Wearing shorts. Humiliating. Absolutely humiliating to them. I guess the British Raj is a huge part of British history.
It's the jewel of the crown of the British Empire, but you never learn about it. It's such a blind spot in British history, right? Yeah, totally.
Chapter 7: What challenges did Gandhi face in his early career?
You know much more about Gandhi than you do about all the other stuff, all the fun stuff. Yeah. But the Raj is... But also the architecture. Before the Killjoy came along on Roald Dahl. Well, this is the biggest Killjoy there's ever been. This is a guy walking into Dishoom going, all right, no, shut it down. No, no, I don't like any of this. Everyone's eating too much. Yeah.
Dishoom is styled off of the old... What are they called? Those fucking cafes. Whatever fucking... Bombay Cafe. Bombay Cafe. Yeah. And it's styled off that kind of Raj style.
Chapter 8: What are the key themes explored in Gandhi's life during his time in London?
The Raj core... I'm saying people should make more Rajpore. I've never been to India. Have you? No. No, I'd love to go. My wife's been. She went there for like seven weeks. Imagine there's good bits and bad bits of India. As there is anywhere. Yeah, that's true. I mean, I've been to Birmingham.
No, I've not been to India, but my wife went, she had like seven weeks traveling there when she was like 21. And I said, while I was doing this, doing Gandhi, and I said, you know, what's your main takeaway from India? You know, he spent seven weeks there. She traveled large swathes of the country, this amazing culture with this huge diverse history of different things.
I said, what's the main takeaway? She went, the guys are so horny. Really? Every man is like more horny than the last. It's like a Russian doll of horny, horny guys. And what's up? I've seen a lot of videos of people just like masturbating out of windows. Yeah, yeah. And that's like polite. Yeah.
Do you think it's partly, do you think the, because I saw someone say that basically the arranged marriage. Yes. Once they took that, started taking that away, you've never learned how to riz anyone. Because it's all, your mum just sorts it out for you. Yes. So you never have to pick up. It's like the first time you have to buy pants.
Yeah.
When your mum's been buying you pants for Christmas until you're whatever. I mean, it's not stopped for me. No, sure. Because my mum doesn't know what to get me. Or you've transitioned it to your wife. So you go from mum to wife. Yes, my wife doesn't buy my pants. Does she not? No, mum buys my pants. That's mum's job. Does mum still buy pants? Sometimes, yeah.
I don't, I forget to buy my own pants. I've got other things on. And you rattle through them, I imagine, at a quicker rate than most. They're many a single use. Justin Bieber wears a new pair of Calvin Klein's every day. Opens a box every morning. Really? Is he selling the used ones?
No.
Is that why? I would use a single... If Justin Bieber's used them once, I'd... I'd buy those. Yeah, I'd buy those. But it's like a second-hand car. If you're inflating the price because Justin Bieber's worn them, then that's bullshit. Okay, it's like a game of Go Bathwater. A pair of pants. You know what they say? When a pair of pants leaves the forecourt, it's lost £5,000 already.
