## Resource

Joel D’Souza came to promote Dear Diary and accidentally gave us enough material for a financial investigation. He tells Cyrus how he became a TCS employee without bothering with the minor formality of actually working at TCS, performed on a boat while his audience slowly disappeared, and watched Bumrah take over his show during an India–Pakistan match. Honestly, the projector had a stronger set. They also discuss Baba Ramdev, Freddie Mercury, terrible gigs, credit cards, India–Pakistan sportsmanship and Joel’s suspicious enthusiasm for solo holidays. Watch the full episode on the Cyrus Says YouTube channel. No comedians, credit cards or boats were financially secure during this recording. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
