While reading a subscriber’s letter, the conversation moves on to the producer of the podcast:
Abhinandan: Our young producer, Jude...
Rajyasree: Youngish.
Abhinandan: He’s young, he's 24.
Rajyasree: So sweet. How much you abuse in front of him.
Abhinandan: Why don’t you just focus on the task at hand which is to record a good podcast.
Rajyasree: If you had a child at the right age, he’d be his age. If I had a child at the…you could be my son. Please treat me with respect.
Abhinandan: Can you get your focus back here?
Rajyasree: Oh, sorry I’m just thinking I could have also had him as a child.
Abhinandan: You don’t. He’s your producer and he’s expecting you to record a good podcast. So if you focus on that he'll be more grateful than if you had been his mother.
Rajyasree: (Laughs) 21 years older I’d be.
Abhinandan: See! Bacch gaya! Imagine. He would’ve jumped off a building.
Rajyasree and Abhinandan burst out laughing.
This and a whole lot of other stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen discuss the film Shershaah, The Chair and Comedy Premium League web series, and the podcast You Must Remember Manson.
