2. 

   Vera BullockGloria, Kenji, one hot take each.

3. 

   Gloria VanceHot take: the tension is not unspoken. Two men in a booth for three hours have said everything, and they simply do it during commercials.

4. 

   Vera BullockNot. It's a sensible theory, and I won't have sensible tonight.

6. 

   Vera BullockHot. Petty, specific and unprovable.
