Off the back of the moderate success of the... Why have we said that? Why have we scripted that? Moderate success?

0

11.772 - 13.856 Romesh Ranganathan

Well, sometimes I feel like we oversell it.

Okay.

Chapter 3: Why didn't Shanthi move to Australia?

14.637 - 21.109 Shanthi Ranganathan

Off the back of the moderate success... Let's just get into this about the email special. We didn't actually do that many emails, did we? It was an email special.

Chapter 4: How does Shanthi attempt an Australian accent?

21.53 - 25.216 Shanthi Ranganathan

But we did... How many did we do? Four? About that. Yeah. And what do we do?

0

0

30.546 - 33.011 Shanthi Ranganathan

But they were all emails. Yeah.

Chapter 6: What is the significance of the 'C-bomb' in Australian culture?

33.091 - 57.819 Shanthi Ranganathan

Okay, fine. Actually, I do want to take this opportunity. Ben, again, it seems to be a running theme here that people think I was too harsh on you about the email gate. And people are saying, somebody actually said to me, Romesh, surely it's partly your responsibility to check the emails. And why were you having a go at Ben? And I read that. And I'd like to say to you, fuck you.

Chapter 7: What questions do Australian listeners ask about parenting?

58.901 - 59.602

Here we go.

0

59.622 - 73.333 Shanthi Ranganathan

It's a joke. Ben's one of my very good friends, one of my best friends, in fact. And he could take it. If you've got a problem with that, go fuck yourself. Okay. No, in all seriousness, Ben, I want to apologise to you. Were you offended by the way that I dealt with that email thing?

Chapter 8: How do they address swearing in front of parents?

73.353 - 90.417 Shanthi Ranganathan

Of course. How do you know? I know it, Mum. This eye is... It's blocked, is it? Well, it's just, it seems to think I'm talking to you and calling you Ben. Doesn't matter. Ben, did you feel, in all seriousness, let's have an honest moment here. Did you feel bad about it?

0

90.797 - 95.122 Romesh Ranganathan

I did feel bad. Okay. How come? Well, I felt bad that we'd let our audience down.

0

95.142 - 97.584 Shanthi Ranganathan

No, but I mean, in terms of the way I sort of continuously bollocked you.

0

97.604 - 108.415 Romesh Ranganathan

You've always treated me like that. So, shall we do the Australia special? We haven't even treated you like that. What do you mean I've always treated you like that? Well, I think some of the flags and the kangaroo give it away. Well, let's find out.

0

108.435 - 134.102 Shanthi Ranganathan

Oh, Trouble in Paradise. Ben and John are having a bit of an argument now. I'll tell you what happened in case you didn't fully hear. Ben went, should we get on with the Australia special? And then John went, oh, we haven't said it's the Australia special yet. And then Ben went, I think the flag's giving away. It was a little bit of Passag tennis was going on there. It was really fun to watch.

134.743 - 150.328 Shanthi Ranganathan

15 all. Now, off the back of the moderates, he says for the email special, and for absolutely no reason, except we love Australia. Apparently we've got a few listeners in Australia, right? What are we talking about?

151.049 - 154.494

Tons. Yeah, I heard as well.

154.895 - 155.696 Shanthi Ranganathan

Who did you hear from?

156.358 - 157.259

Why would I tell you?
