Iran vs Israel [0:00]
The episode starts with the recent attacks by Israel on Iran, which led to the elimination of Iran's top leadership. This has caused protests in many countries, including India, with people mourning the loss of Ayatollah Khamenei. The host discusses the geopolitical reasons why countries like India, Russia, and China haven't supported Iran, pointing out that it's often about being on the winning side. Ethically, the host finds the killing of Iran's leader wrong, mentioning Spain's stand against the US using their military base. He also criticizes those in India who mourn Khamenei's death, reminding viewers of the atrocities committed in Iran under his rule, especially against women.
Holi Viral Videos [9:16]
The host talks about some viral Holi videos, including a "naughty" program at the Kanpur Bar Association featuring a bar dancer. He questions the hypocrisy of those who enjoy such events but then moral police others for harmless activities. Another video from Banaras shows dancing and alcohol consumption in front of a temple, raising questions about selective outrage. The host also points out the hypocrisy of cow vigilantes who harass people in the name of cow protection but remain silent when cows are mistreated during festivals.
Communal Incident [11:54]
The host discusses the increasing polarization and insensitivity towards other religions. He shares a disturbing incident where a Muslim child was murdered, and the comments on the news were filled with hate and justification of violence. The host expresses concern about the growing mentality of hate and lack of empathy in the country.
Daksh Chaudhary & Akku Pandit Arrested [13:38]
The host talks about the arrest of two members of the Hindu Raksha Dal for harassing girls on Holi. He finds it ironic that these are the same people who often create a ruckus about protecting the honor of women. While people were initially happy about the arrests, the host notes that they were granted bail in just two days.
Megha Lawadia Interview [15:16]
The host shares a clip of an interview with influencer Megha Lawadia, who often acts like a Sanatani Hindu online. In the interview, she is unable to answer basic questions about Hindu scriptures, exposing her lack of knowledge. The host uses this to highlight how some people create a fuss on social media without actually knowing anything.
UK07 Rider Kalesh [16:20]
The host briefly mentions the drama surrounding YouTuber Anurag Dobhal, also known as UK07 Rider.

The host admits that he doesn't have a point to make with this news, but is just trying to be more like Neon Man.
Sunday Samachar [17:43]
The host discusses the MP LAD (Member of Parliament Local Area Development) fund, noting that 84% of the money spent by MPs outside their state has gone to Uttar Pradesh. He finds this unfair to other states, especially since UP is already the biggest beneficiary of the MP LAD scheme. The host also talks about how the war in Iran is affecting South Korea's stock market due to the disruption of oil supply and its impact on the production of AI memory chips. He explains how interconnected the world is and how global trade relies on ships and sea routes.
Nonsense News [37:21]

He emphasizes that alimony is important but should be logical and not turn into a business.
