Hey there! We are back with another hilarious episode, this time without Uma : (
Thanks to Devyani honing her sound editing skills, you shall be exposed to a lot (A LOT) of sound FX - only a teeny tiny bit overkill.
- We start off commenting on Uma's absence, how forgetful we are and Mr. Clean, who is apparently not really a fictional character, but a mascot of a brand. Here's the Wikipedia page Ardra promised.
- Snigdha, the amateur daughter (yeah...) and doctor (BTW, she's 14, which qualifies as very cruel on this scale by Tim Urban) explains Ardra's devastating chronic illness - "DOCOR", the symptoms and side effects of which can be heard throughout the episode. Ardra is clearly suffering and enduring agonizing affliction.
- Devyani then presents, as usual, some facts you may or may not know, (and may or may not enjoy 😆).
- Ardra pwns Snigdha on the pronunciation of shepherds, who probably discovered a ton of things because they moved around so much.
- We learn that Saudi Arabian wives are entitled to divorce if they don't get coffee in the morning from their husbands! (Please check the sources though; take Devyani's words with a grain of salt)
- Ardra forgets her wonderfully mindblowing fact, but recalls it thanks to a non-existant, inoperative technique to remember things, as instructed by Devyani.
- Devyani and Ardra then fight to death about pooped out expensive coffee.
- After finding out that the first CCTV watched a coffee pot (!!), we briefly talk about whether coffee should be put in pots.
- We move on to a remarkable trivia section, for which Snigdha and Ardra put in all their guessing powers.
- In the fact-off, Snigdha cheats to tell us about a guy who was in a coma for about 40 years.
- Ardra then presents her now-recalled fact about PLANTS CRYING OUT FOR HELP AFTER BEING MOWED! which is what the smell of mown grass is. Basically.
- Ardra wins the crown and triumphs!!
- And then she forgets to calculate Uma's average points she promised.
