The Awful and Awesome
Awful and Awesome Ep 246: Oscars 2022, WeCrashed, King Richard
While talking about King Richard:
Abhinandan: I know the two heroes that are going up on my wall of heroes.
Rajyasree: Me and?
Abhinandan: You, Serena and Venus. Same, same.
Rajyasree: I can play tennis if my father had bothered to teach me...I was rejected by the tennis coach, by the way.
Abhinandan: You are as big as their tennis racket, Venus’s racket. Just saying.
Rajyasree: Like I’m a two-footer? I’m a one-and-a-half footer, not even two feet.
Abhinandan and Rajyasree burst out laughing.
This and a whole lot of other stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen review the Oscars 2022; the film King Richard; and the web series WeCrashed.
