Are you bad at spending money? Do you buy ridiculous things you don't possibly need? You've come to the right place!
Hosts and comedians Govind Menon and Hoshang Maini have a problem. They keep buying dumb shit that they don't need! So, they thought they'd at least talk about it with their friends! Welcome to Spender Bender!

Is art...good? ft. Devanshi Shah | Spender Bender #comedypodcast
Hi guys, Antariksh is busy being a good husband and family man, which is super cringe btw, so he asked me to upload and write the description and all. So here it is..."New episode is out, guys. Please watch." Well, that was easy.
Does anyone even read these?? Well, if you're reading this, then know that you're a legend. If you aren't, even then you're a legend, but sadly you will never know cause you're not reading this. So sucks for you, I guess. Anyway, enjoy! Now I will copy the credits and links from the previous episode below.

Rich and Hairy ft. Jose Covaco & Bunshah
On this banger if a Live episode, Govind and Hoshang (the Spenders-in-Chief) are joined by hilarious guests Jose Covaco and Zervaan Bunshah to talk all about how they've been spending their money off-late - from Bunshah's frequent trips to Germany and his Singapore trip for a Lady Gaga concert, to Jose's continued obsession with electronic gadgets that solve almost no problem (a light that attaches to your head and a little frog toy that goes 'ribbit', plus more), this episode is a non-stop laugh riot.
Tune into this podcast like no other. Hope you enjoy.
