TISS | EP 125 | Lobster Feet, Toilet Paper, Chai and More Facts

In this show, the boys talk about interesting and absurd facts as usual including lobster feet, toilet paper and some favourite chai facts. Thank you for the amazing response and we hope to keep putting out more shows for you guys!

I attended this one....and TISS in person was everything I imagined it would be....and post the session they patiently took pictures and spoke to me .....it was great!! Hope you liked the notebooks.

Quote of the week: the collective noun of 'facts' is 'TISS'😆😆😆

[@mowgli7_]

Yaar, Varun is an incredible listener I feel. I get why he has so many friends. He legit observes little things and responds to them. I would love having a friend like him tbh.

[@blissfulbubble99]

true that!

[@vaibhavitorde7419]

Nowadays it feels like a weekly therapy session!

[@blissfulbubble99]

Because it is. 🥺😌

Varun is compensating for the dormant period of lockdown by all the hilarious amazing improv and act outs! 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎉🎉🎉😍😍😍😍

[@ananymunshi]

These episodes are just reminiscent of the sofa days, the energy when you guys are in the same room is unreal!

[@deepankargarg719]

I think I am the only one to feel this way but as a long time fan of TISS I didn't enjoy the last 2 podcasts that much. Its not about the live vs zoom shows. I liked the two older formats more. Must have been a different feeling for the live audience though. Still happy to see you guys once a week. Cheers!!

[@user-uh3zr7mo4i]

even I feel the same.

[@anwaaar1516]

Probably because.... they're talking on completely random topics unlike during the zoom shows each one brought a story/highlight to the table.

[@deepankargarg719]

Yeah. The flow of the podcast is too scattered

[@nishitsingh85]

same here bro

[@anwaaar1516]

Bro Varun read this comment and responded to it in the latest podcast.

It's great that Kuldeep Yadav in middle of his busy IPL schedule is still making it to this podcast. So much dedication

[@DrStratComm]

Did any of you other late 80s ke kids ever think ki there will be a time when we would willingly pay to sit and watch a group of friends just discuss the 21st century version of newspaper hilarious clips or encyclopedic “facts” among themselves??! We have ALL done this with friends and I can’t think of a SINGLE person who would pay to watch my friends group just do the silly shit we do. And yet, the appeal of TISS is so raw! Har hafte mere 4 bhai log aake kuch badbad karenge aur beech beech mein hasee ayegi aur bahot kuch sochne aur seekhne ko milega. It’s so unique that the pandemic made us embrace a form of content we may otherwise never have appreciated!

[@afsarhayatansari]

Absolutely hilarious guys, loved it so much. I really enjoy your TISS podcast but this live setting has a different charm to it. No format beats this, when you and friends are chilling on a sofa and reading random facts from the internet.

[@rashicoree]

Man, watching this before my exam is just taking all my stress away. Thank you boys for unknowingly helping me throughout 10th grade especially during the late night maths and science, hope to see you guys soon in a live show in Delhi
