05:05But it's not you.
05:06It is not me.

05:15I've only been mistaken for her once,
05:17and that was at a store where, you know,
05:20I put in my account, and they said,
05:22oh, Stephanie Perkins,

05:58Do you see yourself in your beer, Harsha?
06:00It's juicy, so no.
06:03You could be a juicy Pub Quiz host.
06:05I don't know.
