Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

0.031 - 29.309 Unknown

Hello and welcome back to the Romesh Rang and Ethan Show Thursday edition. Every Thursday we chat about Monday's episode. Do you know that on one of these I said every Monday we chat about Monday's episode? And nobody picked it up and it went out in the podcast and I've been rinsed about it. So do you know what I mean? You don't do a lot you three. So maybe fucking pay attention, yeah?

Chapter 2: Would Shanthi date Harry Kane?

30.31 - 34.657 Unknown

You could just say it correctly. Well, I could say it correctly, but people make mistakes. As written.

Chapter 3: What humorous football phrases does Romesh teach Shanthi?

34.778 - 54.249 Unknown

Yeah, and you could go into the right email inbox, but we all make errors, don't we? Every Thursday we chat about Monday's episode, which you may or may not, like my mum, listen to. And we answer your questions and dilemmas about life, love, family, whatever you want. I've got a DM on Instagram. From somebody saying, this is how much people love you, Mum.

54.71 - 69.852 Unknown

I would love to see the numbers on the guest episodes versus the Mum episodes because I love the Shanthi episodes much more than I do the other episodes. Can't they just look at the numbers? Yeah, I mean, it says it on Spotify, doesn't it? And on YouTube, yeah. Yeah, and on YouTube.

0

69.892 - 81.068 Unknown

You can just look at the numbers and you'll see that the guest episodes far outweigh the Mum episodes by about four or five to one. But it's a nice idea. How are you, Mum?

Chapter 4: How did the pizza van incident unfold?

82.972 - 87.863 Shanthi Ranganathan

I'm fine, my son. I'm fine. Thank you. Thanks for asking.

0

87.903 - 90.389 Unknown

No problem. No problem at all.

0

90.449 - 90.73 Shanthi Ranganathan

Yeah.

0

91.772 - 117.297 Unknown

And we're not just got mum here. Call me Dr. Doolittle because sometimes I talk to the animals. Great work. What have you got? Ben, Will and John, how are you guys? Good, thanks, man. Excited about another Thursday app? You bet. There you go. Mum, could you please introduce the show today like you're a chef introducing the finest dish in a Michelin-starred restaurant?

0

117.817 - 119.9 Shanthi Ranganathan

Teach me how to do it.

119.92 - 122.363 Unknown

Go on, Ben, what are you going to do? It's sort of flamboyant.

Chapter 5: What advice does Shanthi give about approaching neighbors?

122.984 - 125.046 Shanthi Ranganathan

You want me to... about the podcast?

0

125.086 - 127.93 Unknown

Yes. That felt pretty clear.

0

128.129 - 144.57 Shanthi Ranganathan

Hi, everyone. This is Thursday episode. Romesh. This is like Sri Lankan mutton curry and mutton roll. So please enjoy watching. I love you all.

0

144.59 - 149.496 Unknown

Yeah. It's got very on the nose that.

Chapter 6: How does Shanthi handle parenting teenagers?

149.536 - 149.977 Unknown

But yes.

0

150.057 - 168.283 Shanthi Ranganathan

Oh, shut up. This episode is brought to you by Lidl.

168.664 - 185.929 Unknown

As any good vegan or plant-based Don knows, it's very difficult to find good vegan food at good prices. There's a little bit of a vegan tax going on. You go and find the thing that you're after. For example, you look for some vegan sausages and suddenly the vegan sausages are much more expensive than regular meat sausages, which I think is an absolute travesty.

186.061 - 203.853 Unknown

Shopping for a family means you have to search high and low for quality vegan food. You know the drill. I'm trying to convince my children to be more plant-based. You want good quality vegan food so they're not rinsing you at the dinner table. It can be embarrassing if you say this is really good and then they taste it and they say, it tastes like you found it. It's a big problem.

204.495 - 218.832 Unknown

You also have to make sure you're getting the stuff that meets the dietary needs and pickiness of the whole family. One of our children, for example, only eats three things, and one of those three things he won't eat if it's the wrong colour. Thankfully, your saviour in this exact situation is none other than Lidl.

219.293 - 237.491 Unknown

If you're always searching for those plant-based goodies, Lidl has got you covered with a whole assortment of fruit and veg, plus your Linda McCartney burgers, corn sausages and nuggets. I nearly said nuggies. They haven't forgotten the kids either with everything from mini baby bells to fresh fruit smoothies and freezer favourites for fussy eaters. And that is alliteration.

237.992 - 252.925 Unknown

Nail the weekly shopping for the whole house at Lidl. Lidl. More to value. It's the Romesh Ranganathan Show with Shanti Ranganathan. Now, mom.

252.945 - 256.01 Shanthi Ranganathan

Why are you saying Ranganathan?

256.331 - 257.473 Unknown

That's the correct pronunciation.

Chapter 7: What did Shanthi think about Kylian Mbappe?

1807.177 - 1812.427 Shanthi Ranganathan

Come on. No?

0

1812.488 - 1815.193 Unknown

That sounds like you're watching me and Lisa have sex.

0

1817.536 - 1822.328 Shanthi Ranganathan

So do you think somebody has to stand there and say, come on, yeah?

0

1822.348 - 1829.346 Unknown

Okay, get in, my son. It's after goals, you know, like, or a good pass or a good tackle or something. So shout it with a bit of aggression.

0

1831.793 - 1832.835 Shanthi Ranganathan

Get in, my son.

1833.337 - 1833.698 Unknown

No?

1834.54 - 1834.6

No.

1837.28 - 1845.329 Shanthi Ranganathan

Yeah, but the sentence... It sounds like you're... No, I don't like the sentence. I know. Get in my son. What does it mean?

1845.349 - 1850.455 Unknown

Can I tell you, honestly, the last two times you've said it, it sounds like you're asking someone to be inside me.

Chapter 8: Why does Shanthi refuse to date Lionel Messi?

1932.651 - 1933.572 Shanthi Ranganathan

Rowdies.

0

1933.636 - 1934.317 Unknown

Rowdies?

0

1934.517 - 1937.021 Shanthi Ranganathan

Yeah. What's a rowdy? When they're drunk.

0

1937.401 - 1938.683 Unknown

Oh, like a rowdy person.

0

1938.723 - 1939.184 Shanthi Ranganathan

Rowdy person.

1939.204 - 1940.105 Unknown

You call them rowdies?

1940.466 - 1940.726 Shanthi Ranganathan

Yeah.

1941.367 - 1946.975 Unknown

Okay. That is kind of the energy. It's like, you know, you're really telling them.

1947.035 - 1947.956 Shanthi Ranganathan

Yeah, go on, try that.
