She doesn't mindthat you used her pens, she just likes them a certain way and asks that you put them back the way you found them, thanks.Despite years working on interviews with notable politicians, public figures, and celebrities for NPR, Hodges completely lost her cool when she heard RuPaul's voice and was told to sit quietly in a corner during the rest of the interview. She promises to do better next time.
