Hey y'all! In this episode of SlumberPod, Neel, Shaunak, and Danish spiral from “Neel’s Sense” (that sixth sense of intuition) into an A24-style film pitch about a washed-up Showtime performer — and somehow end up sympathizing with heroin-addicted horses at Indian carnivals.

Along the way, they debate pirates vs. ninjas, share stories of getting slapped (and realizing you’ve outgrown it), reminisce on Quran class chaos, and mourn the loss of long-term barbers. It’s cinematic absurdity meets late-night therapy — another lucid dream from your favorite half-asleep philosophers.

• 20:00 – Straight Razor Anxiety The unspoken fear every man has in a barber’s chair.
• 21:30 – Barber Loyalty & Betrayal When your barber quits, and you’re forced into a rebound fade.

We on the rooftop with Rufat! On this rooftop Brooklyn episode, Danish, Shaunak, Neel, and Rufat dive into faith, synchronicity, and subway madness, asking the hard questions—like would you rather believe in God or just eat your own shit on the train? The crew riffs on UFC fights that double as religious conversions, immigrant struggles, comedy road stories, and bombing in front of Russell Peters’ crowd. From Japan residencies and working out with strangers to bad haircuts saved by Dominican barbers, this episode swings between roasting, philosophy, and pure chaos. A hilarious hang full of brown identity, stand-up life, and the kind of stories only comics tell.

Our friend Sonal is here! Danish, Shaunak, Neel, and Sonal sit down for one of the wildest SlumberPod episodes yet. From hecklers who nearly sparked a dog fight to Bollywood vertigo caused by Om Shanti Om, the crew dives into stories that mix stand-up chaos, cultural clashes, and pure comedy gold. Danish reflects on writing an hour of stand-up, Shaunak reveals the hustle behind getting stage time, Neel brings trail guide energy and Skittles-level vibes, and Sonal proves why she’s a heckler’s worst nightmare. Together they unpack growing up brown in America, unibrow trauma, Bush-era flashbacks, fire twirling, and the ever-changing energy of Zoran’s New York. Equal parts roast, confession, and sleepover banter, this episode captures the unfiltered heart of the comedy grind while delivering nonstop laughs.

This week on SlumberPod, Neel, Danish, and Shaunak dive deep into the weird corners of their brains—from snoring war stories on the road to a pitch for the first masked stand-up comedian. We debate if Elon Musk caught hands, whether Action Bronson’s food bars have gone too far, and what lab-grown meat might taste like at the F1.

Plus:

• Billionaires trying stand-up
• Why all cameramen snore
• The decline of malls and the rise of nostalgia
• Growing up brown with well-done steaks
• A real-time presidential platform involving Nepali pool builders

It’s the comedy sleepover you didn’t know you needed. Lo-fi. Unfiltered. Deliriously honest.

We are back at the sleepover for episode 4! Grab your double cup and jolly ranchers and join us as we stumble through purple tongue‑twisters, sip styrofoam “water” in Georgia, brainstorm dates‑in‑lean (“fiber up, baby!”), and daydream about life as NBA refs or running an Indo‑Mexican food truck. All heart, all laughs, zero facts—just genuine, late‑night vibes.

We are bacccckkk — and this time we’ve got our very first guest on the pod: the hilarious Zahid Dewji! We dive into the chaotic beauty of turning 30, clinging to youth, and doing stand-up on rooftops instead of, you know… raising children.

This episode gets delightfully unhinged as we cover:

• Why Six Flags is on life support 🎢
• The horny vibes of waiting in line at amusement parks
• Childhood trauma via dead goldfish and county fairs
• What animal would you animorph into? (Zebra? Stingray? Stick bug?)
• The absurd glory of fast food apps and the Taco Bell “Sneakerhead” lifestyle
• The social responsibility of comedians (Shop Talk alert!)
• And the real reason Domino’s needs to fear Zahid’s wife

It’s riffs, bits, and surprising moments of actual wisdom — all with that classic SlumberPod 2AM delirium.

In this episode we cover: What animals we would make miniature, Hot takes on Genghis Kahn, Danish's work with Redbull, What jobs we would have as Genghis Kahn's army, Time traveling inventions, Cocaine fueled ideas, and Billionaires having more fun.

Welcome to the second episode of SlumberPod! Hosted by comedians Neel Ghosh, Danish Maqbol and Shaunak Godkhindi. Grab a pillow and blanket and let the delirium take over—we dive into absurd hypotheticals, half-baked theories, and the kind of dumb brilliance that only surfaces at 2AM. It’s a sleepover for your ears, where the line between comedy, chaos, and confessions gets blurry. No segments. No structure. Just vibes.
