The year is over.
Preparation is zero.

In this spectacularly unprepared Cock & Bull year-ender, Cyrus Broacha and Kunal Vijaykar attempt to look back at the biggest moments of the year — armed with ChatGPT, fading memory, and absolute confidence.

From the Mahakumbh madness, influencer outrage, comedy controversies, elections, wars, airline chaos, dog rulings, tariffs, Bigg Boss–level politics, and Messi’s surreal India visit, to a heroic inability to remember who won the Chess World Cup — this episode is a masterclass in talking loudly while knowing very little.

There are opinions.
There are arguments.
There are facts… occasionally.

This is not analysis.
This is Cock & Bull.

Cyrus Says

AND WITH THAT THE 2025 SEASON CAME TO AN END!

What makes some people fear animals… and others harm them?

In this powerful and brutally honest episode of Cyrus Says, Cyrus Broacha is joined by psychiatrist Dr Shefali Batra to explore the psychology of empathy, animal cruelty, fear, rage, and conditioning.

From stray dogs and animal feeders being attacked, to disturbing real-life cases of cruelty, this conversation dives deep into the human mind — asking uncomfortable but necessary questions:


Is cruelty a lack of empathy?


Are we conditioning children to fear animals?


Can empathy be taught?


And why do some people feel nothing at all?

Blending humour, outrage, science, and compassion, Cyrus and Dr Batra discuss mirror neurons, childhood conditioning, media bias, mental health, and what it truly means to coexist — with animals and with each other.

This episode is not just a conversation — it’s a call for empathy.
