Hello and welcome to the Thursday edition of the Romesh Ranganathan Show. Each Monday we chat about Monday's guest and answer listener questions. I'm joined by my mum Shanti Ranganathan. A moment for the outfit everybody. You look good.

Oh okay.

You're yet to repeat anything on the podcast, aren't you?
I don't want to repeat because it's boring to see the same clothes.
Yeah.

Chapter 6: How did the family celebrate reaching 100,000 YouTube subscribers?
I'm just saying I'm yet to see you wear the same thing.
But you want me to wear the same thing?
No, it's an observation.
I found it. If I see the person, same clothing all the time, I get bored.
Okay.
I want everybody to look smart.

Chapter 7: What are the listener dilemmas discussed in the episode?
Okay. So it's just content you're happy to repeat.
All right.
After chatting with comedian Aziz Ansari this week, he got me thinking about my relationship with my mother. And I want to give her her due. So today I'm going to be doing a mini interview with her and treating her like the VIP we all know she is. I'm going to do a little intro now. Is that okay? So I'm going to treat you like the Monday guest now.
Okay.
Okay. Ready?
Okay.
Really?
Yeah, I've read it.
My guest today is one of the funniest women on the planet, strong and talented with a wicked sense of humour. She has a devoted following of loyal fans who refer to her as their queen. I may not always say it as banter is my love language, but I'm proud to call her my mother.
