What is the premise of the episode and who are the hosts?
Uh hello. Uh by the way, I'm gonna do this. I've a couple of people have messaged me saying that when I started the episode swearing.
Yeah. It's not good.
Well, sometimes it pulls an episode through when you're listening to something else. Like they might be li you know be listening to the end of I don't know. Uhhuh. whatever other shit podcasts are out there. And then it cli it clicks to ours. And then I go, What's up, motherfuckers? And then it causes a big issue. Because they weren't expecting it. If you're expecting it, you know it's gonna be a bloody raucous fuckfest on this podcast. And also another thing that people are saying is that I swear in front of you.
I don't mind at all.
How does Shanthi explain her mysterious American bank account?
You don't give a fuck, do you?
I don't give a fuck.
Yeah. See?
It's true.
So there we go. Okay, so anyway, so we now that we've got that out of the way without any swearing. Hello and welcome. First day edition of the Romesh Oranganathan Show. For anyone new to the show, uh and we're expanding all the time, aren't we? We are. We are. We're like meta. We're gonna bring out some nonce glasses soon.
What are the details of Shanthi’s £35 000 garden‑room request?
We answer your questions and dilemmas, and there's often some role play, which sometimes people ask for, most of the time they don't. The roleplays are going down really well, aren't they? Aren't they? Do you know what do you know the role players?
No.
Okay. You know where we pretend we do like a little scene.
Yeah, that I do understand.
As always, I'm joined by my mother, Shanti Ranganathan and the team.
With me shanti.
And for those of you new to the show, please don't ask to see the team. They are hideous. Last week we had our art special, and Mum and I revealed how we really feel about each other by painting each other. And uh Mum painted a very sort of tiny uh sort of I would say sort of it was like it I would say it was like me like say if I was if I was a plum, mum's drawing would be a prune.
What is the unexpected apology voice note and how do the hosts react?
You know 'cause it really shrunk down and sort of shriveled and stuff. And I drew for some reason Jimmy Savile.
Do I look like Jimmy Savile?
No, but but then
you are imagining uh No, I I do I I
don't think you look like Jimmy Savile.
Because of my nose, you enlarged it. Did you?
I didn't enlarge it. What happened was I was looking at you quite in detail. I mean I was I was just looking at you like
you look looking. I was
looking at you and I was doing like I was following the shape of your actual face.
Yeah.
And I was actually looking at you quite a lot. Yeah. As I was doing it.
Yeah.
How do Romesh and Shanthi role‑play a conspiracy‑theorist dad and his daughter?
And so th I guess the point I'm trying to make is I don't think you look like Jimmy Savile, but I think you share some core elements. Oh
my god. Jim because because what I mean is
like
Jimmy Seven
Visually. You can't find it Visually, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, visually, yeah, yeah. Visu I would say not everything, just visually and hobbies.

I never seen Jimmy's only Dick Cheney used to wear. That's all.
Yeah, yeah.
That's all. And the head. And the head.
Uh in case anybody's accidentally clicked onto this episode, I think we've started pretty clean.
Yeah.
What body‑image issues are discussed and how do they relate to the garden‑room debate?
said fuck three times, talked about nonce glasses, and then said Mum looks like a savile. Uh Mum It
really upset me, Roman. What has upset you? Don't really
like obviously, Mum, you're beautiful. Ever the thing Your
drawing is rubbish.
Okay.
Yeah. Painting.
All right. Feels like you're taking pot shots now 'cause you're upset about the Savile thing. I don't really think you look like Jimmy Savile. I think you're gorgeous. I think you're stunning.
I I don't want you to say those things. Oh,
you don't want me to say those
things. Yeah, but Jimmy Savile is disgrace.
Yeah, I don't think that's co uh that's not the hottest date you've had, but I I'm saying that I was joking. I don't actually think you look like him.
Oh, okay. Right.
