Do you know what I'm going to do? Go on. I'm actually going to do this in a nice tone.
How did Romesh explain the concept of 'Alice and Steve'?
I'm actually going to be a bit more sedate, seriously. More low energy?
What answers does Shanthi provide to listener questions?
Not low energy, but just like, yeah, actually, that's what sedate means, isn't it? But I mean like I'm doing a TV show. Like daytime. Yeah, like daytime. Hello, and welcome to the Romesh Ranganathan Show, the Thursday edition.
How can you make Shanthi's famous masala dosa?
Every Thursday, we chat about Monday's episode and answer your questions and dilemmas, whatever they may be. And I'm here with this legend, Shanthi Ranganathan.
What advice does Romesh give to his younger self?
Woof, woof.
How are you today, Mum?
I'm fine, Daddy. Thank you.
What awkward parenting questions are discussed?
Thanks for asking. You're so sweet.
No problem at all.
OK.
Mum, I noticed you're wearing the little prayer beads.
Yeah.
You got that idea from me, didn't you?
What is the strangest vegan dilemma shared in this episode?
Definitely, yes, yes. I was waiting for you to buy that thing.
Yeah, do you know what's happened? I've lost mine. How? I'm devastated.
How do Romesh and Shanthi wrap up the episode?
I don't know. So good for you. I was at a hotel and then I woke up in the morning.
108 beads here. Yeah, I had 108. I know all the mantras.
So can you explain for the listeners and viewers what a mantra is, please?
Om Bhur Bhubhasah.
No, explain what it is, not give one.
You want to calm yourself down. You can say that for 108 times.
Yeah, so the beads are to help you count the number of times you say it.
To count how many times.
So you have the bead in your hand.
So if it is in my hand, I can take that off.
Yeah.
And I count them. Early morning I do. Yeah. Soon after I have a bath and everything. Yeah. To keep my heart happy, there's another mantra my grandfather told me. I say that 108 times. Yeah. So then the other one I read, it's Hanuman Chalisa.
Yeah.
that to protect everyone I know in this world. So he will look after them.
Very nice. And how is life treating you?
Life is, I can't complain. I'm happy.
0 to 10, how happy are you?
100%. 100%?
Yes. Out of 10?
Yes, I'm happy. I used to be 10 out of 10. You used to be 10 out of 10. Oh, yeah, sorry. Yeah. When Ranga passed away, your dad, I was upset. I didn't know what to do, how to occupy myself. Gradually, I started to learn to be happy.
I was very worried about you after dad passed away for obvious reasons, but also you became a bit of a shut-in.
Yeah, I did.
You weren't going out very much.
No.
Now, Pilates, the gym, coffee mornings.
Mornings, lunch.
Lunch, dinner.
Everything. All ladies, not men.
Brunch, all ladies, no men.
Yeah, yeah. Any chance that I can go for coffee, I'll go and have a lovely chat.
Lovely.
Maybe... I'm your mother.
Maybe you're my mother. Good point.
So they invite me. I don't know. I really don't know.
I think I would go as far to say, and I don't want to overstate the mark, definitely you're my mother.
With me, Shanti.
Okay, on Monday's ep, we had Kiwi actor and comedian Jermaine Clement on. He starred in movies and TV shows and was promoting a brilliant new show called Alice and Steve, where he gets together with a grown-up daughter of his best friend.
Yeah, you are my best friend.
So Alice and Steve, Steve gets together with Alice's daughter.
Okay.
So they're both kind of my age.
All right.
Late 40s, early 50s.
50s, yeah.
She's got a 26-year-old daughter. Okay. And Steve, her friend, ends up sleeping with the daughter. And they start a relationship. What do you think of that?
I don't like it. Why? Can't you find somebody else?
That's what she says. That's what Alice says. It is a great show, though. Mum, it's time for... We need a better name for this.
Mm-hmm.
For what? Audience interaction. Let's workshop it now. Okay. Any suggestions? There's no bad ideas. Audience dilemmas.
I mean, it's better than audience interaction. Voice of the people. Shanti's postbox. How dare you?
Inside Shanti's postbox. My postbox is finally... oh my there we go we've got one I don't mind I think audience interaction is fine
