look like politicians, and have a certain kind of,
uh, hair, certain kind of-- and people--

kind of hair. And they--and--

commenting on your hair, and, uh, Portia has hair-- Portia has hair
like yours sometimes--
And I actually think that y'all look very similar.
- So,
everyone's hair

You don't--you don't talk about,
uh, yourself that much, and so I thought I would ask you
some rather personal questions. And, uh, it's
Breast Cancer Awareness Month so for each question you answer,
I think, honestly-- I'm gonna be
the judge of this-- or--or, uh, correctly, uh,
we'll donate $1,000 to Ulta, um, for
breast cancer research, okay? All right. Let me see
where they are. And--okay, well... If you had to
pick a Republican
presidential candidate to be stuck
on a deserted island with, who would it be? - Um... Marco Rubio,
he's used to the sun. - All right.

from Burlington, Vermont and so is Ben & Jerry's. If you were a flavor
of Ben & Jerry's, what would you
be called? - Uh, "Burn,
