Talking about the mountaineers Edmund Hillary and George Mallory: Abhinandan: He’s the one who made that line famous, “Because it’s there.” Have you heard that line? Rajyasree: It is why I also went mountaineering because it was there. Abhinandan: This is Mallory’s line. I think it is the coolest line in history ever. Rajyasree: Ever! Abhinandan: I use it all the time. Why did you eat that ice cream? Because it’s there! Why did you eat that cake? Because it’s there! Rajyasree: That’s why you have diabetes. Abhinandan: That also because it’s there. 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 films Chintu Ka Birthday, Chippa and Choked: Paisa Bolta Hai; the child abuse helpline awareness video; the life and works of the filmmaker Basu Chatterjee; the second death anniversary of the chef Anthony Bourdain; and MAD magazine artist Al Jaffee’s retirement.   Tune in!
