While reading a letter from a subscriber about the song Ei Raat Tomar Amar:

Abhinandan: You know, Rajyasree often does this. If I say something about anything like, you know, “This is a dhol".

"It was invented in Bengal!”

Rajyasree: But most of the things are...your speakers are.

Abhinandan: I’ll say sarso ka saag...

"It was invented in Bengal."

Rajyasree: Sarso was invented in Bengal.

Abhinandan: Or if I were to say this is how Sikhs tie their turbans. 

“They learned it from Bengal.”

Rajyasree: The cloth came from Bengal.

Abhinandan: But you [subscriber] have actually sent a video clip showing that the original is a Bengali. So you get 10/10.

Rajyasree: Proof! Proof! He’s given proof.

Abhinandan: Rajyasree, the thing is that you claim everything came from Bengal and you’ve never given me any proof.

Rajyasree: Because you don’t need to show proof for the obvious, na? This is like saying do you know the moon is round when it is a full moon.

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 Kappela; Season 4 of web series Call My Agent!; HBO docu series Allen v Farrow, controversies, and commercials.
