Vadra spoke to them about the problems he faced post demonetisation and the correct way to wipe one\u2019s arse with the old \u20b91,000 note, post a good old Haryanvi dump.\n\n<strong>W&#038;B:<\/strong> Hi sir. How do you do?\n<strong>Robert:<\/strong> I do well. I just did in fact and wiped it with an old \u20b91000-note. It felt great.\n\n<strong>W&#038;B:<\/strong> Robert, don\u2019t you think the 500 will be more surgical and can get to hard-to-reach places?\n<strong>Robert: <\/strong>I\u2019m Sonia Gandhi\u2019s son-in-law you, motherfuckers. I don\u2019t have 500- rupee notes.\n\n<strong>W&#038;B:<\/strong> Well, we didn\u2019t mean to offend you. Are you upset about something?\n<strong>Robert:<\/strong> You journalists don\u2019t really understand the problems we face in this country. Do you know there\u2019s no space outside my favourite state to park my favourite bikes?\n\n<strong>W&#038;B:<\/strong> That\u2019s a good point you raise Robert.\n<strong>Robert: <\/strong>Call me Rob. It\u2019s more casual&#8230;\n\n<strong>W&#038;B:<\/strong> Sure! What do you really think of demonetisation, Rob?\n<strong>Robert:<\/strong> I think it\u2019s been as successful as our attempts to make Rahul seem like a serious politician.\n\n<strong>W&#038;B:<\/strong> Lol. Cheers to that.\n\n(Rob picks up his drink and takes a swig. W&#038;B join him.)\n\n<strong>Robert: <\/strong>I know a lost cause when I see one. The chaos is good for me though. It\u2019s hit the poor hard, which has been a big Congress vote bank. A happy Priyanka means more bikes. And I love my bikes.\n\n<strong>W&#038;B: <\/strong>That\u2019s fascinating. We thought your favourite thing was land that didn\u2019t belong to you.\n<strong>Robert:<\/strong> Dudes, I\u2019m the Khosla and the Ghosla. Last winter, in Delhi, I woke up with a morning boner and due to the fog, stole some of my own land again!\n\n<strong>W&#038;B:<\/strong> Hahahaha! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PI2V40M_rHg\" target=\"_blank\">Are you serious?\n<\/a><strong>Robert:<\/strong> Yeah, guys it was a big problem from me.\n\n<strong>W&#038;B: <\/strong>Your life is awesome. Tell us more&#8230;\n<strong>Robert:<\/strong> I have a lot of chill guys. I was Snapchatting Manmohan just last week. He told me demonetisation will really fuck with the economy, which I believe is within the interest of the Congress party. This will enable the country to finally pay me that last installment on Priyanka\u2019s dowry. So whatever happens with black money, Imma still be floating in it.\n\n<strong>W&#038;B:<\/strong> Hot dam Rob, you are smart. Also has anyone told you how much you look like Freddie Mercury from <em>Queen<\/em>?<strong>Robert:<\/strong> Yeah I want to break free from that one. Should probably shave my moustache.\n\n(At this point Vadra makes a weird expression to convey that he is winking, and then begins doing a push-up.)\n\n<strong>W&#038;B:<\/strong> Ah, we see what you did there. Why are you working out now Rob?\n<strong>Robert: <\/strong>I\u2019m just running down to get a loan from the bank. Want to look my best for the bank lady.\n\n<strong>W&#038;B:<\/strong> What if the bank lady isn\u2019t into guys?\n<strong>Robert:<\/strong> Have you seen Freddie Mercury in drag? I think I could pull that off.\n\n<strong>W&#038;B:<\/strong> We think you\u2019ve had too much to drink\u2026\n<strong>Robert:<\/strong> Don\u2019t tell me how much to drink fam, I fucking own Gurgaon.\n\nAs soon as Vadra decided to brandish proof of his residency by whipping out a very cheap looking pistol and relaying how to perfectly cut a guy off in traffic, W&#038;B decided to call it quits and went looking for their next big story.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Desh ka damaad Robert Vadra opens up about demonetisation and tells us how best to use the old
