Kaneez Surka

Kaneez Surka is back in India and within minutes this episode turns into absolute Cock & Bull chaos. We start with her “Foreign Returns” tour and somehow end up debating marriage, men being “too much work,” NRIs with identity confusion, and whether Vikhroli was secretly named after Virat Kohli. (It wasn’t. We think.) Somewhere in between, we spiral into: – A doctor scoring 9/800 and still getting a PG seat – Social media bans for kids under 16 – Identical twins with identical JEE scores – A ₹1 lakh luxury shirt that looks iron-burnt – A student trying to pass exams with a ₹100 bribe – And an AI expo controversy that raised more questions than answers It’s loud, it’s messy, it’s wildly opinionated and very classic Cock & Bull. If you enjoy conversations that start in South Bombay and somehow end in Vikhroli (via Bill Gates), this one’s for you. #CyrusSays #CockAndBull #KaneezSurka #Podcast #IndianComedy See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

2 Kramers welcome hilarious pal Kaneez Surka on the pod. We come in hot, literally, with Chris sweating profusely from a post-run shower that didn't fully take. We talk trypophobia, poopin pants, and play some very confusing games where no one quite knows the rules. The running gag is Kaneez being in a documentary hot seat culminating on all of attempting to cry on cue. Typical high brow stuff.

In this week's episode of Ask a Matchmaker, Maria and her March co-host Kaneez dive into some wild and thought-provoking headlines that are shaking up conversations about love and relationships. Maria kicks things off with a jaw-dropping New York Times article about a Chinese company pressuring employees to marry and start families by September 30th — or face termination. The discussion unpacks the company's drastic approach to boosting birth rates, cultural expectations around marriage, and how governments might better support people seeking meaningful connections. Next, they tackle a viral TikTok where a woman shares how her boyfriend's personality changed after consuming red pill content. Maria and Kaneez explore the impact of online echo chambers on relationships, and how toxic internet subcultures can shift someone's worldview, sometimes for the worse. Finally, they break down another TikTok trend where a creator adds "man who gambles" to her red flag list, pointing out how gambling can be a slippery slope to financial instability and wasted time. Maria and Kaneez reflect on the broader implications of certain habits and how they can affect long-term compatibility. From forced marriage deadlines to the dangers of online radicalization and the financial pitfalls of gambling, this episode is packed with sharp insights, candid reactions, and a healthy dose of humor.

This March, Matchmaker Maria is joined by comedian Kaneez Surka as her cohost! Kaneez, originally from South Africa and having lived in India, opens up about her journey through marriage, divorce, and self-discovery. She shares how realizing she and her ex-husband were too young and had different values led to their split — and how reading Calling in The One helped her break free from patterns of dating the wrong people. Now in her "decentering men era," Kaneez and Maria dive into the idea that life isn't about settling down but finding your true teammate. They explore the power of latching on to the right person — not settling, not overthinking every potential ick, but embracing connection when it feels right. It's a fun, insightful episode packed with laughter, honest reflections, and reminders that love is about partnership, not perfection. Tune in for real talk, honest advice, and plenty of laughs as Maria and Kaneez help listeners navigate the wild world of modern dating.
