While discussing Hyundai’s Women’s Day ad:
Abhinandan: It was simple and direct…but the spot where she parked was not that tight.
Rajyasree: I can park in that spot.
Abhinandan: Are you a good driver?
Rajyasree: I’m a very good driver. I used to drive here also. You’ve forgotten?
Abhinandan: Salman also used to drive. Doesn’t mean he’s a good driver.
Rajyasree: (mimicking Salman) ye log kyu yahan pe so rahe hain!
This and a whole lot of awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen discuss several Women’s Day ads, Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story, and several subscriber letters.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
