K: Do you own the phrase "that’s hot"?

H: Yes, I trademarked it.

K: You do? That’s unbelievable. So somebody, like somebody at a Mexican restaurant and they put a plate down, like,"Oh, that's hot!". you get like a nickel or something?

H: Oh, a little bit more than that. ( Wow.) I don’t charge everybody.

K: Wow. That is unbelievable. And so now you’ve got a new one, you can’t own the word "huge" though, can you?

H: The way I say it, I can.

K: Oh, the way you say it, oh I see. And how do you say it exactly?

H: H-u-g-e.

K: And it…it…it sounds like you are being sarcastic when you say it. Does that mean it’s like it’s not good or does that mean it is good?

H: No. "Huge" is good, like it can never be bad. Like"that’s hot" can sometimes be bad, but "huge" means it’s like really really hot

K: Ok. Help me this. Let’s play a little game here. And this is called "Hot or Huge". And the, let's take out some things.

H: Oh, nice.

K: Can you, tell me, just so I understand what are the differences. What in there, whether these things are "hot" or "huge."

H: OK.

K: All right? President Obama.

H: Huge.

K: Huge. OK. Kobe Bryant.

H: Huge.

K: All right. A Chihuahua.

H: Very huge.

K: Very huge, even though ironically quite small. These are apparently popular shoes.

H: Hot and sexy.

K: These are hot? Ok. Susan Boyle.

H: Huge.

K: She's huge? The octomom.

H: Um, huge but not in a good way.

K: Not in a good way. I thought "huge" could never be in a bad way.

H: She has too many kids. Oh, like it’s a "h-u-g-e(lower

tone)". Or h-u-g-e(happy tone). So, there is a difference.

K: Oh, I’m even more confused now. Brad Pitt.

H: He’s cute.

K: He’s cute?

H: But I have a boyfriend, so... My boyfriend is hotter than him.

K: Yeah, but I mean.  All right, all right. Er, how about that? Look at that dynamic-looking fellow.

H: Who is that?

K: That’s me. What do you mean?

H: Huge. And that’s a huge fish.

K: Pizza.

H: Yum.

K: Yum. Our security guard Guillermo. Is he…?

H: He’s a sexy bitch.

K: He’s a sexy bitch? And here I got a really hard one for you.

H: Uncle Frank!

K: Uncle Frank. Be careful. He’ll attack you.

H: Hi, guys.

Guys: Hi, Paris.

K: This is maybe the hardest one of all. Is this hot or huge? Because…

H: Neither, because those kill people.

K: And yet both, (they suck!) because it is hot and huge.

H: Hot in a bad way and huge in a bad way.

K: All right. Well we learn nothing but I think that…
