Come for the chaos, stay for even more chaos. From New Zealand to Canada, we're bringing that Indian masala, one episode at a time.
The Grints are coming at ya hot in ultra low def edition format. Arnav Kameha-me-has his uber rating while Neel sets a new low for hardly history. Fill up a cup of nostalgia and put on some Animax. Cause we're going super in-saiyan on this one.

Hathi HIITs
The Grints whey in on their fitness goals and the curse of Indian "skinny fat" genetics. Meanwhile, Arnav gets even more out of touch with reality as he tell us which animals he could beat in a fight and Neel gives us his take on the Odyssey. While you're listening, drop and give us twenty.

Rowdy Railways
The Grints got that fever - travel fever. Listen as Neel dissects his Indian train adventures and Arnav, as usual, backtracks on his original statements. Hold onto your haldi, cause we've got a brand new segment - "Hardly History" where it's 10% facts and 90% gibberish.

MaSalah G.O.A.Ts
The Grints bring the heat in another World Cup themed episode. It's hotter than Europe right now right, some might say... But hold on, with that heat comes a little bit of spice. Because Indian summers with power cuts will make you question your very own existence. You got Giriology, you got Neelflix, and you got that Indian masala.

Naan-Disclosure Agreement
The Grints disclose more than Speilberg did in Part 2 of their scintillating Indian space movie. Unlike Disclosure Day the plot goes hard, but Indian men stay soft. You better sign the NDA if you're listening to this one.

Fraandship Goals
The Grints are taking applications for a third member. They also take on a World Cup challenge, reminisce about past football experiences, and discuss the ideal number in a male friends' group.
Neelesh butchers the names of international footballers and warns against being the friend group "reel sender". It's all hppening here on Barely Brown folks. Tune in and send us your application.

Ay.I whistle
The Grints spiral into the terrifying world of AI and it's impact on our fragile minds. They ponder why everything is starting to feel weirdly identical. Meanwhile, Neel goes off the rails with unhinged whistling insecurities in a battle against his neighbur, and AI roasts both their appearances. It's all going down on this episode of Barely Brown.

ManGoa Softies
The Grints realise they are soft, deeply unresourceful, and would almost certainly die first in a zombie apocalypse. We’ve done Indians and aliens, Indians and cowboys, and now - Indians and zombies.
Triggered by the underrated Bollywood classic Go Goa Gone, they dive into memories of their own high school Goa trip featuring mango milkshakes, hotel buffets, questionable decisions, and probably less survival instincts than the actual movie.

Cowmedy Cowboys
The Grints unpack the cult 'Curry Western' - QuickGun Murugan. Think Austin Powers, but more Indians, more alliteration, more tension and more dosa. Meanwhile, Arnav performs his new comedy set, gets his hair touched and fails again at plugging our podcast (again). Seriously, we need to get that right. It's nostalgia mixed with Indian cowboys - what could go wrong?

Unfiltered Inglis
The Grints go off-script in this unfiltered episode about work rants, Indian Standard Time, streamers catching strays, and why tradies might be the real heroes.
They also unpack DIY culture abroad, Indians' obsession with convenience, question some uncomfortable dynamics around Indians "servitude" mentality, and somehow land on Indian cowboys and the future of Indian English.

ArteMiss Gaya
The Grints get spaced up yet again as they revisit the Bollywood sci-fi classic Koi Mil Gaya, discuss Artemis II and debate why alien Jaadoo got stiffed while Hrithik Roshan walked away with the superpowers. They even sow the seeds for their very own Indian space movie, and realise that they too, stereotype Indians.
