Yee: If you could have any car, what car would you want?

Yee: Do you think cheerleading is a sport?
Grimes: Well, people do consider NASCAR a sport, so I would say cheerleading is a sport.
Yee: What is your favorite movie?
Grimes: My favorite movie of all time would have to be Anchorman. Will Ferrell and Steve Carell in the same movie? Come on, that has to be the greatest movie ever.
Yee: What profession are you most interested in after graduating high school?
