PETA India: Stray Dogs, Animal Rescues, Celebrity Support & the Fight for Wildlife ft. Sachin Bangera

What happens when you put two guys with too many opinions and not enough filters in a room together? You get this episode.

Cyrus is joined by comedian and corporate escapee Punit Pania, and from the jump, absolutely nothing is off-limits. Mumbai's train chaos, automatic doors that'll cook you alive, India's walkability crisis, and Puneet's bold 19-trains-instead-of-20 economic theory.

Then things get spicy. They dissect Samay Raina's unlikely glow-up, Ranveer Allahbadia's punchable energy, Kunal Kamra's legendary refusal to apologise, and the India-Pakistan peace talks nobody asked for but everyone has opinions about.

Also featuring: a heartfelt nod to the iconic Asha Bhosle, expired protein shakes, and an OnlyFans conversation that went exactly as far as you'd expect.

Punit's live in Gurugram on the 18th and Noida on the 19th go catch him before he pivots to railway ministry.
