  • -Welcome back. I'm here with Rosario Dawson.

  • And we're about to play a game called "Know Your Better Half."

  • But to do that, we're going to need your better half.

  • So please welcome former mayor of Newark and current

  • senator from New Jersey, Cory Booker!

  • -Hello. Hello.

  • She is definitely the better half in this relationship.

  • -I know. Okay, good.

  • Alright, here's how the game works.

  • One of you will wear noise-canceling headphones

  • while the other answers a question about you.

  • Then you will take off the headphones,

  • and we'll see if your answer matches.

  • Make sense?

  • -Makes sense. -Here we go.

  • Rosario, the first question is about you,

  • so please put on your headphones and play some music really loud.

  • Give me a thumbs-up when you're ready.

  • [ Laughs ]

  • I feel like it's working. Okay, here we go.

  • Cory, here's the question. You both follow a vegan diet.

  • If Rosario ever had a cheat meal, what would it be?

  • -I think that the one food that she goes crazy over --

  • And we have a big fight over this,

  • because she's from New York, I'm from New Jersey.

  • Jersey obviously has the best pizza,

  • New York, the second-best pizza in America.

  • So I'm going to, unfortunately,

  • have to enter into this debate publicly with her.

  • But I'm going to say pizza.

  • -Oh, my gosh.

  • Okay, this is unbelievable. Alright, alright.

  • -Oh.

  • ♪ I just can't be polite

  • Don't worry about me

  • -The question was, "You both follow a vegan diet.

  • If Rosario ever had a cheat meal,

  • what would it be?"

  • -I mean, I'm a New Yorker, so I'm always going to have,

  • like, pizza, bagel and lox, you know --

  • -The best pizza in the world, New York pizza.

  • -Yeah. You got to be able to get a slice.

  • -Honey, honey...

  • -You know, it's great to have a normal, regular vegan pizza,

  • but, like --

  • -Honey, you know the best pizza --

  • Now that you live in New Jersey,

  • the best pizza in America is Jersey pizza.

  • -[ Laughing ] Oh, my God.

  • Just don't do anything. Just bite your tongue.

  • Just bite your tongue. -What? I'm sorry. What?

  • -You cut out. The Zoom cut out. Very good.

  • Cory, it's your turn to put on the headphones.

  • -I'm going with "Seasons of Love" right here.

  • -Oh. Okay, here we go.

  • Here is the question.

  • You two recently moved in together.

  • What's Cory's weirdest habit at home?

  • -He would probably say, because he just started doing,

  • you know, like, Wim Hof Method, like, cold stuff,

  • so he's been doing these cold showers.

  • -Okay, here we go.

  • -Am I good to come back? -Yeah, you're good. Yeah.

  • Okay, the question was, "You two recently moved in together.

  • What's Cory's weirdest habit at home?"

  • -So, a big issue has come up recently in the relationship

  • because I now, most mornings, will take contrast showers,

  • where you stand under ice-cold water,

  • but it has a lot of health benefits.

  • -That is a match. That is exactly what she said.

  • She said the cold showers.

  • Dude, you guys are crushing it. Alright, you're 2 for 2 here.

  • Cory, please put the headphones on again.

  • Alright, Rosario, this is the last question.

  • What was Cory's smoothest move when you were first dating?

  • -I don't know that I would call Cory smooth per se.

  • That's not why we're together.

  • I find him very punny and clever and passionate and wonderful.

  • He, all for an entire year --

  • Especially when he was campaigning

  • and I was taking care of my dad and we were apart a lot,

  • he would wake me up every day with a song.

  • So he would send me a song.

  • So we have this playlist,

  • and, you know, there's almost 200 songs.

  • But it just would initiate a conversation every morning,

  • and then we would talk about the song and what it meant

  • to either of us, or if it was a new song --

  • It was just -- It was wonderful.

  • Now we have a love playlist, which is great.

  • -Oh, my gosh.

  • Everyone is freaking out right now, going,

  • "Honey, why don't we have a love playlist?"

  • Oh, my God. That is amazing.

  • Alright, I can't wait to --

  • I want to see his reaction to this.

  • The question was, "What was Cory's smoothest move

  • when you guys were dating?",

  • when you were first dating.

  • -[ Laughs ] That is an awful question.

  • I'm sorry, because I'm not the smoothest.

  • I'm not the smoothest.

  • So, I don't know if she would --

  • She probably just said I'm not smooth,

  • but I will tell you,

  • I think I do things that are sweet at least.

  • -Alright, not only are you in such big trouble

  • because, dude, she actually said, "He's not smooth,"

  • which is what you said,

  • so you get points for that, which is unbelievable.

  • You guys are, like, perfect together. But --

  • -But hold on. What did she say, though?

  • She had to have said something. I'm curious.

  • -How about the love playlist?

  • -Oh, okay, yeah. So, when we first --

  • -Now you know about it. -He's good.

  • -Now it's your favorite thing. -I find that clever.

  • -Yeah, of course.

  • Thank you so much for playing this.

  • That is "Know Your Better Half."

  • You guys crushed it.

  • My thanks again to Senator Cory Booker and Rosario Dawson.

  • "Go-Big Show" is on Thursdays at 9:00 p.m. on TBS.

-Welcome back. I'm here with Rosario Dawson.
