Welcome to Cyrus Says!

In this episode, Cyrus is joined by Ajay Ambekar, an ex-bureaucrat, former PRO to multiple Chief Ministers of Maharashtra, and a man who has worked deep inside the machinery of government, media strategy, culture, and VIP protocol. The conversation moves from how politicians are actually briefed, how media planning works inside government, and what VIP protocol really means, to the strange, funny, and revealing realities of Indian bureaucracy.

The episode also dives into Ajay Ambekar’s new board game, Election Tamasha, a politically incorrect, satire-driven game based on Indian elections, dirty politics, factions, corruption, and the absurdity of power. Along the way, the two discuss board-game culture in India, election symbols, VIP convoys, ministers, protocol, and why politics is far messier, smarter, and more human than most people assume.

Funny, sharp, and packed with insider insight, this is a must-watch for anyone curious about Indian politics and how the system really works.

This episode of Cock & Bull gets gloriously chaotic as Cyrus Broacha is joined by comedian Sahil Shah for a wildly funny breakdown of India’s most bizarre headlines and internet moments. From a convicted murderer secretly acting in Bollywood for 12 years, to a man spending 57 days in jail because airport officials mistook garam masala for heroin nothing is normal anymore.

Sahil also talks about his new YouTube panel show Unpopular Opinions, comedy culture in India, late-night stand-up gigs, internet outrage, masculinity, nail polish debates, Mumbai traffic, political satire, and why road rage in Mumbai is mostly just performance art.

The duo also dive into:

• The viral “Cockroach Janta Party”
• Ram Charan confusing Jasprit Bumrah for a footballer
• Mumbai Indians jokes in front of Nita Ambani
• Why comedians are basically freelancers with emotional damage
• The “Melodi” meme and Indian internet culture

Featuring pure improv chaos, absurd tangents, and classic Cyrus-Sahil ener

You know an episode is good when Cyrus slowly stops joking and starts listening properly.

Siddhesh Lokare joins Cyrus to talk about growing up in Mumbai, studying beside bathroom lights, crashing lectures for content, paying Taj hotel bills in coins, and eventually travelling across Maharashtra trying to fix schools one village at a time.

There are moments in this episode that are hilarious. There are moments that are genuinely heartbreaking. And then there are moments where Cyrus completely derails the conversation for absolutely no reason.

So basically: perfect Cyrus Says episode.

Also fair warning: After this episode you may suddenly feel guilty about complaining about Mumbai traffic.
