ThyGap Podcast

First off, humble apologies for missing an episode last week. There were extraneous and unavoidable circumstances, you see? We already covered those in the 1st episode, but as you can see from the title, we have new excuses, and no Brut. Bogus heroically carries this solo episode on his shoulders and gives you a true to life account of the unbelievable events that occurred, leading to Brut's absen...

Welcome welcome, right on back to the most unappreciated, underrated, and unknown podcast in the world. Get in on these early stages and reap the benefits of some serious stonks in future! Bogus and Brut kick off Season 2 with a freewheeling chat on our failures, the underlying 'valid' excuses, and how we will be unrelenting in getting up every time we fall, until the inevitable next fall - but we...

It's the season finale, everybody! Join Bogus & Brut one last time before they tee off into the sunset, as they walk back and talk back the first season of the greatest, #1 humblest podcast to ever grace this fine planet. We speak directly to (at) our listeners, give our thanks and due credits, and some reprimands and aggressive finger-pointing as well. When we return, we hope to find you in good...

Intuition is the ability to acquire knowledge or insight without recourse to conscious reasoning. With that hoity-toity sentence out the way, lets get down to our level and talk about it. It's a short cut, pure and simple. It's your sixth sense. Much like the tail bone you don't know you have, you must rub it just the right way to activate it and grow it out. And you will begin to see the matrix,...

The writing was always on the wall that Bogus & Brut would talk about this topic, and that you, would find your way to listening to this episode. During a time of great turmoil and upheaval, it is said that only the pure of heart, and those of true character, would unravel the secret and power of this social phenomenon, and use it to their advantage. Who knows? You could be, like, the chosen ONE o...

Bogus & Brut are joined this week by a special guest, Khartoum, a screenwriter from the Industry who shares a few interesting stories, and we talk a little bit about the writing process as well. A regular listener of the podcast, Khartoum also shares some feedback and behind the scenes perspectives. In the Parcel - Shree 420 (Hindi), Midhunam (Malayalam), Hollywood Ending & Firefly (TV Show).  So....

While it is discouraging that you would stop and bother to read the description of an episode whose title should've been incentive enough, it is for discerning listeners like you that we bother to even write this half-awake. This one's filled with maximum examples of weird and stand out dreams Bogus & Brut have had, and minimum philosophizing about where dreams come from. There is opportunity to l...

After the detailed discussion on what we forgot as humans, we forgot to finish the conversation on Species with Amnesia, hence part 2. Bogus and Brut cover a lot more on how random architecture might somehow be connected to each other. Is there a force stopping us from seeing the connection? Big words were thrown around like - Gilgamesh, Gobekli Tepe, Science, Babylon and many more. Listen on for...

The curious duo rack their brains in trying to understand the long lost history of our species. Bogus, a big fan of Brut, steals the knowledge of Graham Hancock (an author on the topic). This episode starts 11,650 years ago, when the world we know of may not have been what we thought it was. We look at alternative theories of who were there before us. Why don't we remember it? The clues left behin...

Did you ever have good role models? Did they ever let you down? Hosts Bogusnoog and Brut do not ask either of those questions this episode. They had better ones to talk about. What were they? They were wonderful, that's what. Now are you just going to be like that and stare? Why don't you listen to the damn thing, it'll last longer. In the Parcel - My Name is Nobody (1973) & Once Upon a Time in th...

Bogus and Brut engage in a pit stop conversation on Marriage. Given that one's a rookie on this subject while the other's an absolute noob, this goes about as well as you would imagine. Does marriage compel a criminal instinct on men? What's the right definition of a functional home? Are men compulsive liars? If yes, why? In the Parcel - Groundhog Day & Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes (Aguirre, the Wrath...

Once upon a time, in a land far away, Bogus & Brut embark on a treacherous quest to decode storytelling in our daily lives. Will they make it past unscathed by the ill omens of thirteen, or succumb to the tempest of fate? Follow the story as it unravels. In the Parcel - The Odd Couple (sitcom) & Cidade de Deus (City of God) One Subscription to bind their hearts, and many links to Share them *** In...

Effective communication, or rather the lack of it, is proving to be our imminent doom. More so in the treacherous mine fields of social media. How does one walk the tightrope safely away from dopamine-tweaked platforms and the frothing mob? Maybe ThyGap's got an idea. Maybe we make them an offer they cannot refuse. In the Parcel - Shatranj ke Khiladi (The Chess Players) & Manorama Six Feet Under S...

This one picks up right where our previous episode Measure of Man (part 1) ends, so make sure to listen to that one first for proper context, or suffer the consequences. You know we could have just stretched this out and released part 2 next week, but our measure of the situation did not allow it. Evidence of improvement right there! In the Parcel - Ikiru by Akira Kurosawa Measure Jerusalem with a...

This 10th anniversary special jubilee spectacular gala extravaganza disco, ThyGap podcast brings to you a two-part series, the Measure of Man... (pause for effect) ...because one whole episode two and a half hours long is like, they call that the 'listener repellent' out here in the #modrad streets. If you drop off in five minutes, your measure is wrong, just know that.  In the Parcel - Seven Year...

Bogus and Brut's recording gets gatecrashed by a friend lost to time, Lostradamus, who predicted precisely this would happen. Unravel the much wow mystique of Lostradamus as you explore the hidden spots of Greatness and Goodness. Food and accommodation responsibility is yours. We don't take responsibility for accidents. Hot water & towels extra charge. Soap complimentary. In the Parcel - Invictus,...

In continuation to the previous episodes on Humour, Bogus & Brut go in on the works and times of Cyrus Broacha, Ranvir Shorey and Vinay Pathak. From their early work in music channels, and their interesting career arcs through to the present day. An interesting conversation that weaved through multiple philosophical ideas and ended up being two hours long, so we cut almost an hour out of it. You'r...

On this rifftastic rifftackular episode from the Human Trials series, you're advised to strap your seat belts on tight and secure, and hold on for the ride. No emergency exits. This one's like a slice of life. Who really knows where we're all going, except at the very end where everything flashes before your eyes and you realise, only a little too late. Joke's on you. Joke's on all of us. And that...

In continuation to last week's episode, Humour (part1), is this week's mysteriously named Humour (part2)!? Would that involve being unstuck in time, as we look back to look forward, but to look back the second time? Or a peek at the Jokers of the day, and our contemporary clown-each-other culture? Mm, this is some high quality click-bait. Listen! In the Parcel: (Leslie Nielsen Special) - Airplane!...

Simmering under the silly surfaces of slapstick, satire, self-deprecation and sarcasm lie some truly treacherous terrain! Hark! Ye, lend us your ears O weary travelers, for the epic odyssey into the deep dark bowels of Humour by Bogus and Brut is at hand! What treasures will come unearthed? Are ye worthy of coming onboard? For this just be the PART 1! In the Parcel: Weekend at Bernie's and  Monty...

Bogus and Brut explore the therapeutic freedoms of cars and bathrooms. An important precursor to a deep dive on inspiration. How do you get inspired with every breath? What do Doctors have to say about that? Srinivasa Ramanujan, Sachin Tendulkar and the 1983 world cup victory. The true borders of China, and most importantly, how all of these things can be used to explain the game of Football. In t...

Bogusnoog and BeingBrut go back in time to their childhood to answer the million dollar question - what is a million dollars? What's it like to be rich? Why do we need to be rich? To answer the million dollar question, they leverage linguistic skills unheard of, logic never perceived and most importantly answers unrelated to the million dollar question. Also, the day to day life of retired people...

Hosts BeingBrut and Bogusnoog explore what's really going on behind one of the biggest buzz words of our times - motivation. What will come of this perilous journey into the dark unknown? Will they find out who moved that damn cheese? Or unmask the Monk who sold his Ferrari? What revelations and dark secrets come to the surface? Join them on this hero's journey (from a safe distance), so you too c...

Coming to the first episode... We introduce ourselves (hello!) and then proceed to navigate around work from home, HR, and the corporate jungle. What makes villains and booby traps attractive? How are Jason Bourne and John Wick different? Colleges and hostels, guys and girls, sloshed and stoned, and trip-sitting in the Narsapur forest. We talk about Richard Pryor and Mike Tyson, and why Aryabhatta...
