There are opinions.There is gossip.There is way too much talk about urine. This episode is not informative.It is extremely Cock & Bull.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Democracy, Dung & Disaster New Years | Cock & Bull ft. Puneet Pania

New Year. New resolutions. Same nonsense. In this classic Cock & Bull episode, Cyrus Broacha and Puneet Pania spiral through politics, democracy, global conflicts, hostel trauma, Mumbai trains, DJ music, dung, milk parties, and the slow death of common sense. From spending New Year’s Eve alone in a backpacker hostel in Gokarna, to calling the cops on DJs, to debating Umar Khalid, Venezuela, North Korea, IPL geopolitics, and why democracy now feels like a badly managed train compartment — nothing is sacred and nothing is resolved. There are no answers.There are barely questions.There is a boat story involving spit, and somehow that still isn’t the worst part. This episode is angry, funny, deeply Indian, and extremely Cock & Bull.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
