Tons of besties in Canada. We appreciate all of you so much. Today, we are going to do questions for the later part of the show. While we have Anya here, I wanted to open this thing that I just got from, I just got sent to me because I ordered it and paid money for it. It sounds like it was just like a treat. It is called,

I know Anya will be into this. It's called the Flawless Face Pillow. Okay. Oh my God. I was advertising this on Instagram. I posted about it on my story a couple weeks ago. It was $179.

I don't know what the fuck I was thinking. It's so much money. Was it a late night buy? I don't even remember. It was just like... Probably. There was something going on. I don't know what it was, but here it is.

She was having a moment. It is a... It's called Wake Up Flawless. This is for people who sleep on their stomach and squish their face a lot when they sleep in order to not have a squishy face or squished up face, which you know that I don't even go skydiving because and I have so many offers to go skydiving. What if you wore that? This won't protect me from that either. So I've just opened it.

I've had this for like a week and I meant to bring it on the show. So, yeah, I am now going to, how do you even put this thing on? I don't know. It looks like if like an astronaut forgot the rest of the shield. It looks like a neck brace for someone who's going through like surgery.

Yeah, who has two necks. So it has a silk pillow and you position it like this. Okay, here we go. All right, get in there. I'm gonna take off my hat. Yeah. Hold on.

She's taking off her hat and headphones. She's putting this on. Sorry, I'm go. All right, get in there. I'm going to take off my hat. Yeah. Hold on. She's taking off her hat, folks. She's putting this on. Sorry, I'm not going to be able to hear Anya or Noah right now because I had to take off my... Okay, here we go. Are you sure that's how... Yes. It definitely goes up top. Oh, my God.

It looks like a soft toilet seat. And then you sleep like this. Oh. Okay, now I can hear you. You look like a dentist commercial. I don't know. It protects you from squishing your face. This could also be good for the planes.

You look like King from Ninja Turtles. How does it feel? Let me just see if it protects me. Ladies and gentlemen, it's Marshmello after he showed his face. The DJ I'm talking about. Okay, here she goes. But why is it different? Oh, God.

Nikki is laying down. Disclaimer. So wait, so the idea is that your cheeks don't hit the pillow. Yes, that your dumb face doesn't hit the pillow. Okay. Hell yes. All right, babe. It's working.

Well, I don't want it to go. It looks like you're getting attacked. It's like my head is too, like, it doesn't go, my head's too small for it. Usually my head's so big. She's flawless. And that actually works. This is nice. What about if you

roll around though? Will it fall off though? I just feel like I can just go from side to side like this and it protects me from having like that smush face.

It's kind of like yeah It's a good buy. Yeah. It's like if $179 worth fuck no. Don't do that.

Don't ever do that. Yeah you paid more money to have less pillow. It's going to save me money and all the injections that I was going to get to keep my face in a float. Can I be honest? I'm looking at the normal pillow picture versus the flawless. Yeah. And the normal looks way more comfortable. She looks happier, though.

She looks like Brenna in the normal photo. Yeah. But she looks... She she looks like brenna in the normal photo yeah she looks um she looks she's smiling with no one smiles when they sleep you know what if you're sleeping if you're sleeping on your stomach that's pretty cute and like you're smushed into the mattress shouldn't it like are you sure you're putting it on the right way like shouldn't there be a lot of pillow under your chin well i'm not facing down like i'm getting a massage when you i supposed to put my face to the side when you're asleep do you sleep on your back oh right um i sleep on my side oh so do you sleep like this like a little angel with your like hands beneath your yeah so you you keep your hands underneath your head one hand have one hand on each nipple. How do you seriously?

You must think about your face when you sleep on you. Yeah, I do. You're a woman. I mean, I just learned that. What do you do with your face? I didn't know that one side of your face sags more. But so I switched which side I sleep on just because when I moved in with Matt, he took my side. So now I have to sleep on my right side.

Did he take your side because he was like, I really need this one side? He's like, this is my side. I'm like, all right, it's your house. So I guess that's the side. When you're sleeping in a queen bed or a king bed and you don't have a partner, do you sleep in the middle of the bed?

Oh, yeah. No, I like to be on the end. I still have a side. I've never once slept in the middle of a bed. Yeah. Unless it's a twin bed. Ever. Noah, do you sleep in the middle of a queen bed

if you have it all to yourself? No, I always just stay on one side. Why do we do this to ourselves? You want to know why? Why? Because we have four pillows. If we had one long pillow, it'd be more... We'd just move the pillow to the middle.

I know, but it's already starting divided. So it's like, why are we going to fuck with... It's already divided. You know what I mean? I think I do it so I can just get out of bed quicker. Oh, like a defense mechanism? Yeah. Or just like to pee in the middle of the night.

Just want to just hop out. I think this harkens back to Noah's question from our last episode. About elevators? Yeah, the elevator. And there was a study done about people seating themselves in restaurants and that it's human nature to seat yourself closer to the walls. Nobody wants to be in the center of the room. Yes. Even when no one's looking. I hate a table in the walls. Nobody wants to be in the center of the room. Yes, you have.

I hate a table in the center. I want to be on the sides. I went to go see my dad perform this weekend, and the only table was a center table, and I just wanted a booth. I just wanted a little privacy, you know? Yeah. I hate that about New York restaurants.

That's why I like an outback. Stay couch? Yeah, because you could just hide inside the booth. It's all booths. I love booths. I love a booth. I love a booth in my own apartment not near anyone.

What is it about a booth where you just want a booth? You go into a restaurant. Can we get a booth? Because it's padded. What kind of psycho likes to sit next to you? It's like your mom's uterus. Yes, you're back in it. Who doesn't want to eat in there? I like to dangle my leg off a bed.

I think that's why I like to be on the side. I have some news. I'm not pregnant? No, no, no. But over the weekend, I was watching love is blind with my lover shit sorry luigi i just scared him um and we were watching it and i don't even know what came up something on the show came up about like dating or whatever and um he was telling some anecdote and he referenced like us and i was like but i'm not your girl it was something about

girlfriend i go but i'm not your girlfriend and he was like yes you are and i go i am and he's like come on yes you are and i was like you haven't asked me and he's like you're my girlfriend i was like he was like i you should be and so we like had the official talk and we're like we're and i was like it was just such a great moment because I didn't in the past to get to get that. It was always so important to me to like get a boyfriend. This time it was not important to me to be like, I have a boyfriend. Like, it wasn't like that. It was about like it.

It wouldn't. There was no manipulation. There wasn't me being like, I want it, like forcing it, trying to get it. There was no unsureness of like do i really want this is this do i just want to have a there's always a like wanting to have a boyfriend and this time it just felt like so exciting and we were like watching love is blind where people are like constantly getting engaged and it kind of felt like that of like oh my god we're like doing this and i go you know what this means, right? And he was like, what? I was like, responsibility.

Like, you are, no, it's just like you, there's accountability now. Like, even though he's, nothing's going to change. I mean, he's always there for, like, will do anything for me at any time. He's like, so. But why does that change? Or were you being sarcastic? No, no, I was being sarcastic but it there is something in me now that's like wow i before when i would ask him to do favors for me or like hey could you go pick up this thing like i'm asking him to go pick up a prescription he's

coming over today to work on something and i'm like hey could you stop and get this prescription for me before it was always like uh like can you do this? now it's just like, will you love, will you do this love? Like, it's almost like I would, it's just part of the responsibility of being a boyfriend is like,

you're gonna do these little things that are gonna make my life so much easier, which he would have done before, but now, it's like I have a partner. I have someone who is making choices about their life

and helping me make choices about my life considering the fact that we are in this for a while. That's the difference. Are you saying partner and lover now? Yeah, I can say my boyfriend now.

Yay! That's exciting. I just kind of was I just knew it was already there but there was something that shifted. I was just like I have a boyfriend kind of was I just knew it was already there but there was something that shifted like I was just like I have a boyfriend and I was like oh my god you're so much better than my last boyfriend and he was my last boyfriend but it honestly

feels and the one before that yeah it feels different it really does it like feels like it feels like oh my god I haven't had a boyfriend in you know five and a half years so since the last time i called him that and so it just feels exciting and new and um just you know i'm at as

being 31 is different having a boyfriend than when you're 37 it's like okay this is like you're doing this and we're just i don't know he called me last night and was like i just want to get your opinion about this thing because I'm just thinking about my future. And I'm like, what do you want? What would you want for us in this scenario? And I was like, oh my God, this decision that you're making about your life, you're asking what I want

because it's like we're a unit now. It's really nice. Yes. Yeah, it's awesome. Watching that show made me think about my relationship too. Love is blind yes and i'm officiating um one of my best friends weddings in this month and so i'm thinking a lot about like what does partnership mean what you know like i was interviewing them before i'm like i really

want to get this right why did you guys choose each other and i keep thinking about partnership and like they said i said why marriage because they're gay i'm like why do you want to why did you choose this path and they're like we we want to have a family like this is our family us and our dogs and we make they're just like we make all our decisions based on like our little family and it's such a it's such a new way of thinking like i never had a partnership before ever ever yeah every decision you make was our little family. And it's such a new way of thinking. Like, I never had a partnership before, ever, ever. Yeah, every decision you make was, like, what about you?

Yeah, or, like, kind of, like, the relationship. I thought about him, but I never felt like someone had my back, where now in this partnership it's like, oh, he cares. Like, this podcast, for instance, I didn't have the right setup. I didn't have the right browser. Matt spent like two hours yesterday getting everything set up for me. He went to his friend's house to get an adapter. And I'm just thinking like, why are you doing this? And then he's like, because I care about you.

I want to do this thing for you. I never had that before. I was always like orienting myself around them. And it's just weird to have, like you're talking about, like you actually have a life plan with someone now. Or you're thinking about like us rather than I, I, I. Someone who has no,

there's no question when I said, can you go get my prescriptions? There's no like, like it's like eagerness to help my life to like make me happy like and that i feel like he's always had that he's always he's just such a he's someone who just like likes helping people that's like how he shows love that's how he like feels good about himself is like being of service to others like doing like he loves it he would do it for anyone but like um he i i realized that like now that's what i i've never been in like wanting to do that for him i just like want to make him happy like

having that feeling and i know that sounds weird like it just of course i wanted to be happy when we were together before but now i'm like i want to make choices that just i just want him to feel loved i just want to love there's like a difference between like, like Matt doing that, like out of obligation or like, or like some point of like, oh, I could bring this up later that I did this for you.

Or like, there's like something behind it other than the fact of like, no, I love you and I want you to be happy. And I know this will make you happy and it has nothing to do with me, which is a hard part to get to. Yes. The other night, Brenna was sick.

And I went to Walgreens at like 11 p.m., whatever. And I didn't once think of it like, oh, oh. No. I was eager to fucking help her because she was hurting. You know? Yes. For no other reason than to just help. Yes. That's like a beautiful place to get to with just like your girlfriend with anyone like with just human beings

like where it's like you're just thinking selflessly selflessly selflessly yeah it's the best way to feel good it's whenever i'm feeling depressed i'm always like i just need to do something for someone else that is completely motivated by nothing. I mean, it's motivated by me wanting to feel better myself. But I just know that it always makes me feel better to call someone that probably needs someone to talk to or go pick up some litter. Take my dog. Yesterday, I was a little depressed. And I just was like, you know what? I'm going to give Luigi the longest walk of the past, past like six months of his life and just really just

i don't even want to do it but i'm just going to give this gift and it was just it felt so good to just not do it for me or not it was really about like i just want to make someone else feel really really good right now or like something else a fucking dog whatever it is um this relationship has made me realize how selfish i've self-centered i've been my whole life like matt and i are engaged we're gonna get married and the other day i was like can i bring up like something maybe uncomfortable can we just talk about our fears about marriage we were in mexico we're like on the beach romantic feet in the sand. He's like, yeah, like, what fears? And I'm like, I don't know, just, like, can we talk about money stuff? Like, okay, I'm just going to air my fears, and then you can air yours.

He's like, all right, I don't really have any fears, but go ahead. Yeah, I'll go first. Like, I would love to get, like, a, I don't know, like, here's my fear. This is crazy, I know. But, like, what if, I don't know, here's my fear this is crazy I know but like what if I don't know like you get really ill or like have to go into a home or something and it's like you can't communicate like and let's say I spend like all my money taking care of you in this home and like I don't know like what if I wanted he's like what I'm like I don't know. Like, what if I wanted? He's like, what? I'm like, I don't know. Like, have a life.

Like, date other people. He's like, babe, this is what marriage is about. He's like, it's through sickness and health. Wait, what are you saying? I'm like, I don't know. He's like, I think what you're saying. I disagree. If your partner is incompatible, if I ever get to the point where I'm like,

I'm in a home and I want to call someone in the morning. I hope Chris goes out and finds someone else. He can stay married to me or he cannot, but move on with your life. I think I was saying, can I leave the relationship because I don't want my money tied up with you. Yeah.

Because you're like, if he's on a ventilator or something or something yeah that's take a lot of money to operate oh he has to have health insurance i think yes he has to have health i think if your spouse decides not to have health insurance and they can and then they're causing a hole in your wallet you can leave them tomorrow or yesterday you guys are fucked up too no it's not fucked up like sickness sickness and health, I get it. Like sickness. But like if you become Terry Shivo or I do.

Terry Shy go. Get out of here. Terry Shy go get another lady that doesn't. Seriously. And I'm different than most people. But if I stop wanting to fuck you because of my hormones change or because my body changes in a way and i lose desire for you you should you should have every right might not want to be a comfortable conversation but

you don't need you don't have to have to suffer my it's i want us to both be happy and fulfilled and if that means you have to go find that elsewhere, I don't know. I don't think someone should be locked into a life of like, there should be caveats of like, if this happens, we need to talk. Dude, that happened to my buddy's parents, right? So this is a crazy fucking thing.

Or you're going to get cheated on, let's be honest with ourselves. If you stop fucking your husband, you're like to get cheated on, let's be honest with ourselves. If you don't let your if you stop fucking your husband, you're like but he's not allowed to fuck anyone else. Don't get that cookie. You're insane. Don't grab the cookie. The cookie's there. I know you have this urge that is

biological that you can't fight, but please suppress it and don't resent me while you do that. See if that works out for you ladies. Listen to what happened to my buddy's parents. So the mother gets cancer, brain cancer or some kind of cancer goes into a coma they do they try like a like a risky surgery that's like never been done she goes into a coma for like a couple years like a long time like what you're thinking with that like a while somebody if a guy cheated on a woman when she goes in for like a routine surgery oh yeah yeah yeah she's getting

like a root canal i didn't know you were coming back they use local anesthetic honey he's sad i didn't know you went under the knife i it. You went under the knife. I got a mole removed. But your mouth is out of service. What was I supposed to do? Yeah, dude. Seriously. So what happened? So that's exactly it.

No, no. So she's in a coma, right, for so long that it's like, does he go on with his life? He's got to move on. So before she dies, still in a coma, I don't know if they officially get divorced. I guess they did. He starts dating. What?

Sign the paper. Yeah, he grabbed her arm. Put a pencil in her hand. Yeah. Oh, my God. Weekend at Bernie's, the documents. Blink forever if you don't want. So he ends up meeting, I think he ends up dating her nurse.

That was like, she just happened to be there in the room. I don't know if she was like fucking her. I almost feel better about that because at least he didn't meet her in a bar. You're going out to like singles events. I don't know if they're hooking up next to her. Yeah. On her? Yeah, on top of her whatever

so he ends up dating her he ends up getting brain cancer shit he dies before after huh yeah he dies before she wakes the ex-wife dies gets Gets taken off life support. So he's dead before she's even dead. So then my buddy's mom is now the woman, the nurse. That he has nothing.

I mean, it's not really his mom. It's his stepmom. They got married. They ended up getting married. Oh no, at that time he was like 13. So he was raised by this nurse.

We're going to do this often. Gosh, there's so many good questions. Can relationships

where people have different political views last? Yeah. I mean, I don't know. I think that that's, there was someone

on Love is Wine where the woman was so Christian and the guy was an atheist and he was like very much like, it can know. I think that that's, there was someone on Love is Wine where the woman was so Christian and the guy was an atheist and he was like very much like, it can work. It just depends on what the political difference is.

What I'm thinking is like a Trumpy and a non-Trumpy, I would be questioning why either person wants to be with the other person then. There's going to come a time where something... I just think ideologically right now with how divided things are... Yeah, it'd be tough.

And it sucks that it's tough because I think in the past it could have worked, but now I think just the way I feel, I don't think I could ever be i could i mean i'm looking to be with someone who is friends with people who or like you know who i'm it's hard for me it's hard for me even though i empathize with that side of things and i know that people don't choose what they are who they vote for and what they care about your brain just does what it does yeah it would just be tough for me what do you think

i just it depends on how radical they are about whatever their choice is even if it was like you know i would say i guess i'm like left where like i don't even i hate the oh kind of in the center but like i'm just like i'm just like do you here's some things that like i care about but uh but if you over care about anything that's like outside of yourself to the point of like it's like your whole personality that's what it's more about to me but yeah yeah i think that to me it'd be tough it'd be it'd be very tough i think for a relationship if if yeah it's just two extremes and it depends how much it gets brought up if it's kind of just like hey you know i i kind of you know i grew up republican and you know these are some things that we care about some values we care about you know that's how my parent that's how i

was raised but i don't really need to talk yeah i don't just i would have a tough time because to me even if you're saying i'm fiscally republican you're greedy you don't you think that you think that you did something differently than the people that don't have money and that you i pulled myself up by my bootstraps no you had advantages that some if you were in their shoes you wouldn't have been able to do that you had i know that you worked very hard i'm reluctant to ever say like i worked hard for my like career when people are like well nikki you work hard for your money you deserve this i'm like no i got lucky yes i do work hard but i got lucky that i have a brain that even wants to work hard so anyone that goes i don't want to support poor people who are choosing not to work or be lazy.

You don't know what they've been through that's making them choose to want to be lazy. And it's not really a choice. You would do the same thing if you were them. And they could work three jobs and work harder and still be poor. I have a problem with Republicans in that way of like, I don't want to help others. And listen, I'm greedy in ways with my money. I don't give as help others. And listen, I'm greedy in ways with my money. I don't like give as much as I should, but I am open to the idea of it.

And I like paying taxes. But if the dick is good. And I think rich people should pay more taxes. That's just my belief. And as a person that has more income, I'm happy to do more because that's, I have, I got lucky that I make that much money to do that with.

So that's my belief. So to answer your question, no, I don't believe that they can get along. But who knows? Maybe I'm too close-minded for that. Okay, next question. All right, next one is from Sammy Groovy. How do I stop saying analize instead of analyze at work? Help.

Oh, my God. Get a new job, I guess, where you don't have to say it yeah analyze it really exploded i guess yeah i told you i told you i called it i said name your special that i think they exploded because of the conversation around how dumb it is to name your special that as opposed to like that i never said it was smart oh that's a good point that's a good point that was never my argument it was catchy i think you keep saying analyze at work you you embrace it it sounds like your workplace is a place where that joke can even fly even once so let her rip i don't know i think she's a scientist probably though like that's who says analyze oh yeah well no i think people are using analyze a lot and different yeah like business settings and you could probably sneak it in and

no no one's gonna go did you say analyze i mean like no one's gonna call you out we're bringing in an analyst um i don't know analyzing these reports you're not gonna say this conversation cannot be helping this person yeah Oh, yeah. So keep doing it. Just keep doing it. Yeah. No one's going to call you out. And just try to think. What about scour?

You can use that word. I'm going to. What's another word for, like, use a synonym. Break down. Yeah. Go ahead and give it to me. Break down. What a song.

All right. Break down. Okay okay next question okay actually this is a good one for this question uh by shayari shayari okay if you could produce a tribute show to any dead musician who would it be and why i mean petty for you that was weird yeah definitely 100 tomty oh like like have a bunch of musicians like play their music is that what a tribute show is yeah I think so a million percent Tom Petty I mean I always want someone that I just like know the music of it's probably like Boz Skaggs I'm just kidding i don't even know if he's like a lever dead um

i mean lennon i guess is but i think that's been done like a bazillion times george harrison yeah probably that a musician that's dead two of the beatles yeah probably george probably george because i want to hear um Sweet Lord. Question. Yeah. Tribute. Do they get to play all the Beatles songs or just George's and Lennon songs? Just George's. And they can play While My Guitar Gently Weaves. He wrote some good Beatles tunes. So they can play those and then we just get into his catalog and then we have a lot of fun. What's your favorite Lennon song?

Watching the Wheels. What's yours? Jealous Guy. Oh, Jealous Guy is so good. fun what's your favorite lennon song watching the wheels jealous jealous guy oh jealous guy mother i was in a weird state where i would listen to that a lot where i hit the bottle full throttle pretty much those you ever heard that song yes it's like the most bone i don't know it's it's fucking you know what i love oh yoko in the middle of a dream in the middle of a dream i call your name oh that's so good that's yeah i haven't heard that one but mother you left me i never left you oh my god just type in the acoustic version that where it's just him on a piano there's just not music like that anymore where someone's just like fucking just raw man i am so into phoebe bridgers right now there's a song

called kyoto yes i'm obsessed with it you know what it reminds me of like lost in translation but in a song form oh yeah it's about her dad oh it's about her dad like i thought the person she was singing about was a guy like a romantic interest but it's about her dad oh it's about her dad like i thought the person she was singing about was a guy like a romantic interest but it's about her dad and it gives a whole new meaning to it it's so good can i ask you a question yes pretty serious how do you still have that ring on and can you not get it off and why is this not talked about every episode because this is an insane thing if this is still on i a bestie wrote to me and said windex is what's gonna help get it off it was so traumatic the night i tried to remove it that I just don't want to do that again. Because once you start trying and you kick it off, I get so much anxiety wrapped around it.

When I'm ready to take it off, I need to just really do everything that's going to do it. I haven't been in the right frame of mind to actually go back in and try. I think urgent care could do it for you. They have little saws like a little jaws of life no i don't want to this ring costs a lot i gotta give back to danny and emma this is probably like an 800 dollar ring i'm not even joking you it's worth getting it off though i but i can get i can get it off if i do the window like methods okay and you want me to be there for you so then you don't get worked up because i feel like if you're doing it alone no because someone else watching have you like it's like when you're choking and someone's like are you okay you're just like yes fucking leave me alone

you know what you're like choking on water and someone's like you're like i just need to cough a lot and now you're gonna keep asking me if i'm okay clearly i'm breathing stop asking me if i'm okay i get really annoyed. I know. I get annoyed when people do that. Yeah. I mean, well, as someone that's afraid of choking, I'm like, bring it on. Thank you for your annoyance. I appreciate you paying attention to me.

But yeah, yeah, yeah. Where they keep going, are you okay? And you're just like drinking water. You're just like, yes. There's nothing worse than when you're just quiet. You just want a quiet day. And someone's like, why are you so quiet? Oh, God.

So yeah, that's amazing. I love just just let's keep checking in on this ring yeah i mean i just have an idea that it's going to be on seven months later and you're does it hurt your finger at all no it doesn't feel like it's stuck on like no tight no sometimes my finger gets a little swollen like if i'm sleeping in the morning and it'll be a little tight but it doesn't like it perfectly fits this part of my finger gets a little swollen if I'm sleeping in the morning and it'll be a little tight, but it perfectly fits this part of my finger. The problem is the knuckle. Right here, it's perfectly fitting. I'm so glad it's not on my ring finger because sometimes I do wear things on my ring. I would just look like I'm permanently married, but with this kind of dumb chunk.

I love you getting knuckle surgery and it's like, no, I had a deviated symptom. You're trying to make your – you have a reason now to tighten up your little knuckles. I just want my knuckles to be, like, smaller so I can fist myself. Yeah, my fingers are all fucked up recently. Oh, God. Same with mine. I gotta get it off before tomorrow, actually. I don't even know when I bit them.

You ever bite your shit and, like, two days later, you're like, I have 45... Like, my shit is hurting right now anyways go ahead yeah okay next question uh how about another relationship question yes bring it on uh from aaron yes okay what would you do if your family didn't like your partner for shallow reasons? For shallow reasons. What's a shallow reason? Give me one.

Too old for you. Too young for you. Don't make enough money, maybe. Isn't attractive enough. Isn't tall enough. Doesn't make enough money. Drives a shitty car. then your family's the problem you know like that's they got they got to work on themselves like you should that should be a good

sign that you're doing something right that whatever it is that you were raised with to judge people with didn't make it to you to to put put towards this person so i think that that is um i mean it'd be so funny if you're if you're at thanksgiving dinner and you're like he really drove that car and you're like so tim um i think we should uh yeah i have been meaning to talk to you about this like you and i like it's just like it's bigger than this but it but it's the love is blind thing. Yeah, yeah, it really is. But just agreeing with your horrible family.

Because maybe it's an out for you, too. Like, you're like, oh, yeah, I could just say it's car size. Oh, yeah, that's great. When you have an out of why you want to break up with them, when they've given you something that you can put on it instead of the real. It's like love is blind when the girl is like, oh oh it's because you're an atheist and i'm christian it's like no it's because he's short and the guy you really liked is actually more attractive than him and the other guy you're talking to is more attractive and now you want him and that guy's muslim so i think it's a height thing yeah it's uh it definitely okay uh next question uh if you had to live in a country that you've never been to,

what would it be and why? Ooh. Nice question. That you've never been to? Never been to. I want to live in Berlin. I thought Paris was your... I've been there.

But you've been to Paris. Berlin. Why Berlin? I don't know. I saw it on Orthodox, and it just looked like a cool, accepting, beautiful place, and I've just just it seems like people speak english there i could like probably get around a little bit and it just sounds it just

seems cool it just seems like clean and beautiful and the people seem nice but that is from me watching a scripted tv series where a couple music students were featured it's like one street yeah it's one classroom. I don't know. Yeah, Berlin. I just kind of have this fantasy of living there. It just sounds cool. It sounds like you're off the beaten path while being on it.

Yeah, where would you go? Yeah, I lived in Berlin for like six. It's just so, I don't know, something about it. Shit, I would say like in my mind, I'm feeling like Sydney, Australiadney australia somewhere like they speak english so then i'm like i also don't feel like that you know out of it like so right away i could kind of like pick up on things i don't want to try too hard there and then buenos aires which i don't know why just sounds cool argent, I just heard it's...

Is it Ares or Ares? I'll find out when I get there. No, what about you? Where would you live? I think the first place that popped into my mind was Thailand. Oh, yes. It's beautiful. I love the food.

Oh, my God, it's so good. And the people are so nice. it's just it's awesome i've only been to phuket and i stayed at like a resort but we got out in amongst the people and it was like just it was just lovely i loved it there's something too scared of tsunamis though when you're ever asked like what country also i think they asked what country and we both named city i mean i was naming i understand that berlin is in uh no no i know i know it just hit me though now that it was like yeah that we named cities but we feel like we have to name cities like thailand or like it could just be a town some you know a country that like oh you just don't want to be in a city

like i don't know you hear that question you think city you know what i mean uh i picture myself i know i was even thinking of like bali or like somewhere like exotic that's like but i don't want to live there yeah this is where you could live we lived in cabo for seven weeks and yeah and i wouldn't want to live there no i wouldn't either i just i it's um i just't, I just didn't find my, my Cayman. I could live there, but it, yeah,

I could totally live in Cayman because they, it just felt more like a regular, I don't know. I just liked it. I just knew my way around. I don't know. I just liked it. Um,

um, your family movie growing up. Family movie. Movie you Family movie growing up. Movie you watched with your family. Yeah. I would say A Christmas Story really comes to mind. Just one that we always watch. And Pee Wee's Christmas Special.

It's always Christmassy things, I guess. Mine was The National Lampoon's Vacation. Oh, Christmas Vacation. My dad hated that movie. Not the Christmas one. It was the one where they went to that amusement park. I don't know if that was Christmas. Wally World.

Yeah, yeah. Oh, I see. I know what you're talking about. Yeah. And Home Alone. And Home Alone. So good. Those are so good.

So good. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, these are all Christmas. So mine was Schindler's List. No, just like not Christmas at all. But I don't remember one movie watching as a family. Wow. Am I fucked up?

I just remember seeing something about Mary with my mom and never seen her laugh more. So I guess I'll go with that. Okay. Yeah. That's weird. Not one time. Watching something all together. It's so weird.

Yeah, as a kid, like kids movie? I can't picture one time of us all sitting on a couch. I remember us all sitting on a couch playing Jeopardy, but that's about it. Okay, that's something. I think TV shows for me are more a family thing. Seinfeld, I was watching Seinfeld last night. Fuck, it's so good.

My grandma, Thelelma would watch it with ear remember the ear thing yeah she was dying my grandma loved Seinfeld too I mean insane obsessed it's so it was so funny makes me love my grandma which makes me like upset that I didn't find out more because she probably had like a great sense of humor and she was able

to get Seinfeld as like an older woman yeah totally okay let's go to break and come back with more questions. 2025 is bound to be a fascinating year. It's going to be filled with money challenges and opportunities. I'm Joel. Ooh, and I am Matt. And we're the hosts of How To Money.

What if you asked two different people the same set of questions? Even if the questions are the same, our experiences can lead us to drastically different answers. I'm Minnie Driver, and I set out to explore this idea in my podcast, Minnie Questions. Over the years, we have had some incredible guests. People like Courtney Cox, star of the infinitely beloved sitcom Friends, EGOT winner Viola Davis, and former Prime Minister of the UK, Tony Blair.

And now, Mini Questions is returning for another season. We've asked an entirely new set of guests our seven questions, including Jane Lynch, Delaney Rowe, and Cord Jefferson. Each episode is a new person's story with new lessons, new memories, and new connections to show us how we're both similar and unique. Listen to mini questions on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Seven questions, limitless answers. More questions. Let's get to it. Luigi's stretching. Uh-huh. Top one, bottom one high school memories? Bottom one memory? I mean, finding out my friend fucking killed himself.

It's a pretty bad one. But if we're talking about just, like, more fun, festive, like like bottom memories is when i um my my french teacher madam hood like was just disgusted with me one time when i went in for a private like i went in during contact period which is like a free period that you could go and get help for stuff and i was struggling in french and i went in i did not know what le and la were, like, you know, articles that, like, the. I didn't know what it was. And she was like, how are you even in this class? And I was like, because I got a bad teacher for middle school.

Like, it's not my fault. She would just hate it. She was such an evil, mean, miserable woman. If you're out there, Madam Hood, I hope you've gotten help. You sucked so much. No one liked you. No one. I remember when the projector

fell on you one day and we were happy about it. Low projector? Hmm? Low or low? I don't know because I'm a fucking idiot apparently, Madam Hood.

One day she wrote pa mal on my test. I know I've talked about this before because it's so fucking... She wrote pa mal on one of my tests and I was so excited and it means not bad and it was the nicest thing she had ever even attempted to say to me she

was evil she was like like you imagine a woman at like um like a nazi honestly like you imagine like a female nazi and like the guards like just cruel cold soulless cruel like just that was what she was like we're seeing school ties oh there's a french teacher in that that causes a kid to go into a mental uh she must have like that it must have been her like when the guy was like that's what i'll be like no like everything he was breaking down. And he was so good. Like for a high school student, he was so good in like speaking. And this guy was just tape picking apart everything. And it drove him insane.

And that's what I envision. Oh, she was just the worst. Because it sounds pompous too. Wow, they're making fun of you. Like on top of it. Even saying this right now, shots fired. I'm scared of her because she was so she was so terrifying what was your top moment then top moment when the projector fell no kidding um top moment was when huffy um there was a door that was jammed

and everyone that would you know double doors there was one side of the double doors that would like push open and the other side was like locked and people kept going for the locked one and would like struggle with it and then they would go to the free one and we were sitting in the quad like watching people struggle with this door and just like laughing because they would always struggle with the first one then they'd finally like result to going to the next one and huffy was like i'm just gonna like i'm gonna go and do it and just make a huge scene. So she like, I think it's the hardest I've ever laughed in my life. I remember like marking it as like the hardest I've ever laughed. She went over the, she like did, we saw her like walk down the hallway,

look like really pissed walking, just like with so much like gumption. And then she went up to the door and was just like, the jammed one was like, what? And it's just like screaming screaming trying to get it open everyone was staring just seeing your friend make a fool of herself in the name of comedy and then burst through the door next to it i would give anything to to have a video of that now it was the it was the funniest thing because she was so it was so embarrassing you don't like pranks would you consider that a prank no because no one no one's getting hurt no one's being embarrassed except her except her yes gotcha no that's a good point that's not so a self-prank

is good yeah when people are like confused by someone doing something weird it doesn't bother me but if they're implicated in it absolutely out of line i don't like it at all what about you top one bottom one uh bottom one is probably shitting my pants uh uh at school at my friend scott woodward's house and oh yes i remember that and they were just like get in the bathroom crying naked with shit all over me i was like sophomore year it was like a cool guy. Were you drunk? I smoked like two hits of weed. I got like a 24-hour virus. So I was high with shit all over. I went to shart in his bed. Or no, I didn't go to shart.

I went to fart and then I shit. I didn't shart. It went above shitting or sharting. It was a full shit. It was like I took out a paper and was like reading for a while. And then I could just hear them. I stumbled into the bathroom. I think I hanseled and grettled the shit down the hallway.

And I just hear them going, do you smell? Is that shit? Dude, that's shit. And then I hear them playing hot and cold with my reputation. With your hot. Yeah. And they found me all right and uh and then i guess my top one is someone else shitting their pants the next week way worse and then everyone forgot about

me shitting my pants because this kid wiped his ass with scottish uh celts that have been in the family yeah for 500 years he he he left his back he passed out in the bathroom he was so fucked up that he went into the parents bathroom thinking it was the toilet and was in the closet shitting all over the closet and then wiping his ass oh my god while playing bagpipes which was weird and the mom comes in and was like what the hell what the and he ran out and somehow he slept there didn't get caught and then he got caught because they found him in the yearbook and the mom pointed him out she goes that's the oh my god like a lineup yeah like a lineup and then that monday the girl goes did you shit on my scottish kelts oh my god and he's like you did you shit on my dad's skirts i would be like your dad has skirts yeah yeah so of course i did yeah of course i did and then

she's like oh she's now she's embarrassed now it goes to her did you shit in my mom's pants and then that guy's like yes i passed it passed it on. Oh, my God. And so everyone called it. His name was Mike Proctor, which I don't think he'd mind me saying it because he moved on, I think. But he took his own life. Yeah. He moved on. He's no longer with us. Yeah. He's burning questions with Proctor, too.

But so whenever someone would fart or take a nasty shit you call it a proctor a proctor oh wow so it became a diet like a word so how many times have you thought you weren't gonna proctor and then you took that proctor and gamble but it could have been a colin like yeah it's like munson from kingpin oh my god yeah having your name become associated with something terrible dude you proctored yourself didn't you oh my god he'd be right there being like this uh i guess this is my life and they're like what about remember remember when he shit himself it's like everyone giggles when he said it's you know attendance because it's like you're just saying shit oh he changes his name to feces yeah no do you have top one bottom one or oh yeah i'll say them real quick um the bottom one was uh this girl i was friends with she started dating this like

bad boy who was like a drug dealer and um i smoked weed with them uh like in sophomore year and i hallucinated so bad it was like the worst experience the girls had to like take me home and then my mom like obviously i had to tell her that i smoked something i don't know what's going on with me like i'm just hallucinating and of course at that moment she starts giving me the whole spiel noah you have to be careful this is how girls get pregnant and this they get raped and i'm already like oh my god i'm like so paranoid right now can you just stop that was my bottom oh that sucks my top just being the one that needs to like be babysat and taken care of and like getting sicker than all your friends

who like can handle it but also parents like give your kid two days then have like yeah when they're fucking tripping it's like you took mushrooms what are you and then you just see your mom being like like you just uh yeah it's a lot parents just need they don't understand you know yeah all right and what's your top one the top was um there was this boy that i had a crush on his name was norman sherman and he like finally what a nerdy nerd he but he was he was a little bit nerdy but he was so cute i just had like the hugest crush on him and um somehow he invited my best friend and i to go to the movies with him and his older brother who was like him but even like way cuter so we just had this like wow we're like with two really cute guys we're

going to king's plaza to see the movie and it was just i think we saw um i wish i could i think it was like like one of the freddy Krueger movies that we went to see. It was just like so fun. Like really like our first date and I got to go with like my best friend. Oh my God. That's amazing. Like,

yes, the idea of a crush finally coming through is another great feeling. Would you be jealous when he brings a hotter friend? Like, were you jealous of her getting to be with the brother? No.

We both kind of had a crush on him, and we were not competitive with each other at all. It was just like, whoa, his brother is even cuter. He's just like, we're so... That's so exciting. God. Oh, my God. Girl crushes.

What would you do? You just solidify, like, this is my... If it's like a first date... I never had like, that never happened to me. What am I looking at an episode of Saved by the Bell? Yeah. That doesn't happen.

That is a story that, it just doesn't happen. But that's so, oh God, crushes are the fucking best. And when you would find out that they like, I still love crushes. I mean like crushes are so, that is the one thing about a relationship that i'm bummed about is that i will not have

crushes anymore that i will i know people are like i still have crushes it's like i'm married but i still get crushes not ones that can pay off ever you know like that's why i like crushes is because it like might happen that when you lose that that, but I also, I don't know. I'm just like, I kind of have a crush on my boyfriend. How many times though, have you had a crush on someone? And then finally when like things start, you know, like if you guys start talking to each other, you just automatically lose it.

Oh, immediately. That would happen every single time to me. Every time in my life up until this guy i'm dating now i every time i liked a guy the second he would like me back i was disgusted because i had low self-esteem but then you would also realize i don't know you would learn that um that would make me not want to have a crush like i would learn like okay there's no point to have a crush if it's not gonna no i was. No, I couldn't help it though. It wasn't like you can't control crushes.

Oh, and they feel so good. It's almost like, you know, it's the way I feel about orgasms. Like the best thing about an orgasm to me is the buildup to an orgasm right before you get it. When you finally get it, it's like great, but it means it's going to be over. Because once it's started, it means it's going to be like the fun is going to be soon over. When the anticipation is building, you don't know when it's started it means it's gonna be like the fun is gonna be soon over when the anticipation is building it could you there's no you don't know when it's gonna end i think i just realized why like orgasms are not as good as before orgasms which is always what i'm saying it's because

you know it's gonna be over like i'm always more excited before a meal arrives than when the meal is on the table not me I like I want the food in my mouth but what about when that's when it's done how sad is it no I'm not I don't look at it that way I look at it like I'm so fulfilled from this that I can take on other things in my oh my god I just start going what do I what's the next thing I can put in my mouth like my life. Oh my God. I just start going, what's the next thing I can put in my mouth? What else can I... I get sad when I get full. I mean, it's a total eating disorder of like,

you hate when you get high because then you're like, then what... I gotta... My feelings are still not being... I gotta keep doing something and you can't eat anymore because you're sick

and you're just like, fuck. It's hard for me to ever ever feel like full from food ever and be like i don't want more food like i always want more i just have to like force myself not my favorite part is the actual orgasm obviously i for me like the food when i'm swallowing like a chicken parm on the hill or whatever at the hill in st louis. It was the best chicken parm I've ever had in my life. My favorite part is when the plate is put down in front of me. Obviously, it tastes good, and that's what I'm expecting. But the second I start eating it, it starts going away. But before it arrives, man, it could be endless.

I don't know what's going to happen. Maybe the third bite is the best. You know what I mean? Yes. When you're drinking the second or third that one that feeling of still being aware while feeling like you can do anything the second i start having an orgasm i'm not kidding you i start getting sad that it's gonna be over the second i open a christmas present i'm like christmas is almost over the second

anytime something starts i start getting sad about losing it. Summer, even. Oh, I had this happen. We just spent two months in Cabo. I came back here and it's cold. And I started thinking that this cold weather was fall because it was like, I just had warmth. So the cold is taking me. And I started getting this fucking dread of like,

oh, winter's coming. And then I go, wait a second. No, it's spring spring it's gonna get warmer and i already started getting upset about the fact that spring is almost here which means summer's almost here which means summer's gonna go away soon that is how insane i am dude yeah there's nothing to say other than live in the present but it's just like no love is blind like i'm so excited right now because i have like three more episodes left and i'm about to get really sad when it's over i just i don't like the ending i don't like starting things because it means they're going to be over but before you start something it's

always the possibility it'll never end uh one more question all right i really love this one could you all describe honestly your first impressions of each other oh that's a great question oh my god um honestly first impression like far away or like from when we actually met like i think just like first impression before you even got to know one another i don't remember not knowing and i don't remember knowing andrew before i met him at bed bath and beyond the day that we met um and i just honestly like the same that i do the same impression i think i read him pretty well funny uh anxious honest um silly um just like spur the impulsive, lax, lax. What's the word when you're just, yeah, you impulsive and like just funny.

Impulsive and funny. Yeah. I think. And sexual. I'm just kidding. Yeah. Rape oozing sexuality. Dude. Sorry for putting it off like that.

At that Bed Bath & Beyond. beyond sorry i'm so sexual well i'm glad we're in the towel section because it was getting wet over there no it was immediately the same vibe i have now like i feel like it's different and maybe i can just maybe i'm imagining something more you know you always remember things differently than they actually occurred but i think i had a pretty good read on you right away. I think it's like different because you were already somewhat famous in the sense of like, I had an idea of what you are.

Yeah. By the way, Anthony DeVito, back to him, said that your special Perfect is like one of his like top three, like favorite specials. That's so nice.

So anyhow, um, that's a ham drip, I guess. That's like a very like non hand drip. Hey, by the way, it's a good one.

It's, I think it's my best work. That's so nice. That really means a lot to me coming from him. Um, I would say when I like met you at bed bath and beyond like i just had a vision of you of being because you're you were so successful in my eyes at that time that you obviously have it all together like you're like this like mature adult you know what i mean like

i just thought maybe you would like i don't know like just something like and i quickly realized just being in bed bath and watching you shop that it's like oh she is just like like we are not different people we're very cut from the same bed bath and beyond cloth yes when you were looking i think you were looking either for a big towel or like a rough you were looking for something i was like oh this this this this girl's like neurotic yeah like all over the place but in a fun way yes and then when you you know a thing you did that i've said before is like you offered me to host literally within probably 30 minutes of meeting you to host at uh caroline's and i was like wow you're incredibly giving and like you don't take comedy too seriously where it's like

it was just refreshing yeah to like not feel like like i had to like earn it from you like right away it kind of felt like oh let's just have a conversation and like you're interested in nice and being cool yeah and like being like uh and interested back you know like you were like you weren't just all about like you like it was i could just tell that this is like oh this is someone that like you know is doesn't only care about comedy yeah and then noah my first impression of you was what an idiot callback ham drip oh my god i don't like that no um young i thought you were much younger than me i also thought like really um really professional people are shocked to find that out by the way uh really like professional and like

quiet maybe not like gonna be as like fun as you ended up being because you were like so serious and like wanting to do a good job and come off like professional i think when we first met that and which you are all of those things like you're one of the best at your job and like getting things done and just being just being you're such an accountable person and a reliable person and just like a talented person but i think at first i think you were i thought you were more serious and like not going to be as fun like maybe we weren't going to be best friends like we are interesting and not as like i and obviously i didn't know you were going to be as empathetic and like spiritually like just emitting positivity and kindness that you were. But like badass for sure and intimidating.

Yeah. From Noah. I'm trying to think the first time. Do you remember the first time we met, Andrew? I just remember coming. I feel like I came in for like a test show yeah was no one yeah no you were there right i think you just came into the she would have been i think you were like a like a guest or you know just like yeah and you're in like the back corner so i didn't really get to

know you but from what i remember of you is just like like you said, warmth. You have an air to you that is like, I wouldn't say motherly because that sounds like. Maternal. But there's just a feeling like you can count on you and you can tell you. I don't know. There's no judgment. It doesn't feel like there's a lot of judgment coming from you. Yes, positivity and just, yeah like that's all we want and doesn't and you didn't feel like i think because we're around comedians so much there was no sense of like entitlement or feeling of like having to be the star and it was just a sense of fresh air in that way yes no

ego yeah yeah they didn't And now that I know you, I was wrong. Yeah, you're so wrong. Now that you took the news from me, like a fucking heartless clown. That was diabolical. It was planned. It was calculated. Really, a slow play

by her. My first impression of both of you was definitely way off. Because when I first saw nikki um i remember seeing you like in an office having a meeting and you walked in and you're wearing this blazer you had your hair up in a ponytail and i was like i was probably dirty that's why i was in a ponytail you know what i mean yeah dude it's so funny i didn't see yeah yeah i just noticed you and i was like okay her body language i was like wow this woman is like that's a boss bitch like so i texted her i'm like who's who's in that office he said nikki

glazer so i was like wow she's probably like all business and just like really tough she's probably gonna be like such a diva to to work with you know just by like and and i just remember like wow her posture is like really straight like she knows how to do these meetings then when we met um like for the first time when we when we started working in the lobby i remember yeah you you like you were so sweet to me i think we you like opened your arms to hug me and i was just like wow she's so sweet this is not anything i thought it would be like and i was kind of nervous like i thought i would really have to impress you but you were just so cool um and just like so sweet i just remember seeing this just like like your eyes there was just this like caring essence that was just like emanating out of it i was i just felt so safe and then with andrew at first i remember thinking like oh wow andrew's like a very quiet and reserved guy

i thought you were very very very kept to yourself and nervous. But then as I got to know you and hearing your stories, I realized, wow, Andrew is like a cat with nine lives. He's lived all these different versions of life. Yes. He has so many good, funny stories. And he's very interesting. Yes.

I think at first you were nervous, and so you were quiet. I mean, on the pod, I just felt like, or on the pod, on the radio show around the pot on the radio show yeah yeah it just you know how it was yeah you just want to make a good impression you just don't want to like fuck up so you're a little bit nervous and i didn't realize i probably how quiet i was and like but uh god that is the second time i've heard this week that i have good posture which is so not something i like i i know for a fact i do not have good posture i have tech neck like but i went to um that's when your neck goes forward because you're looking at your phone i have that too but um i was i went to a singing lesson the other day i went to uh i uh sang with my dad this weekend at the the venue that he was playing with

his band and i went to a singing lesson before that with my sound healer, which if you're in the St. Louis area, definitely go do a sound healing session with my sound healing lady, Aria. I would love to send besties to her. She is just like so sound healing, obviously. And Reiki, she also does that. It's all about energy. You don't even get touched. You like lay on this bed and then they do all that she does all this like like gongs and like makes these sounds that you're just like where are you even getting these sounds but your eyes are close it's so healing and um if she does like pain management work but she also does voice lessons and i take uh and she's turned into one of my best friends

but you can go to it's like ariariasound108, I think,.com. You can just go to Aria, A-R-I, Sound Healing. But I told her I'd give her a shout out because she just is starting the sound healing journey and she's really good at it. And like tapping into this, like, and we were relating because I'm like, I've always like secretly wanted to be a singer songwriter.

I think that's like what I've always like, it really am deep down. And like, I just have this like suppressed it. And she was like a choir director and she's also trans. And so she is like very well versed in like feeling like something is locked inside of you that you should be, that you aren't able to be because of people either telling you you can't be or whatever it is and so we really like talked a lot about

that but she's amazing and i was going to a lesson the other day and she was like one of the first things i noticed about you is that you have great posture and i was just like what i go you're i didn't want to be mean but i'm like you're wrong like i just know that i don't i've taken an alexander technique class and was lacking. But it's really nice to hear that two times in a row. I do feel like if you're wearing, when I put a suit on. Yeah, when you're wearing a blazer. Or a blazer.

It just, it does something. Yes. It makes your shoulders just like, even if they might be shoulder pads. Like, maybe it's just shoulder pads. But when I put a suit on,'m instantly oh hello oh you don't want to sit like this in a suit because then it crumples up and you just look posture is so it's so crazy how much it can change people's perception of you and your own perception of you like when i walk straighter or you know i remember reading one dog book about like how to train your

dog and they were like when you walk your dog your dog is looking for a leader like once you're the pack leader yeah and they were like walk like you're cleopatra and i always stuck with me and sometimes i remember it on walks when i need to like like he's being a little bit pulley on the leash or just kind of being annoying i'll be like remember to walk like cleopatra and just you just all of a sudden like have this power and grace about you just pretending to be like more just like me sitting like this is a different person than me like this. I mean look at – I'm like – yeah. I mean this is comfortable and I want to sit like this most of the time. But good posture can also be very comfortable.

Like this is actually putting a lot more strain on your bones and your neck right now yeah then if you were to sit like the alexander technique is all about sitting so that you're all of your weight all of your bones are like balanced on each other so it's really like holding up up like when you do this with a broom handle or something you know you're balancing in your hand you're not like it's not working hard you're not working hard like when you're going like when you're sitting like um like if i'm sitting like this like i'm having to support this but if it's all balanced on top of each other i don't have to do anything and it's all about just like you can sit upright and just balance it all on top of each other and it won't feel like you're having to like stick it up yeah yeah

and it's like building it like blocks like you're trying to balance a jenga and if you're like it actually doesn't make sense now just imagine your favorite newscaster sitting like this and giving you the news. Like, you wouldn't. Oh, my God. Yeah. It's just not. It's not a good look. It just doesn't.

So I think we should go to war. Like, imagine a president. Like, so I'm like, whatever. Like, Ukraine. Like, I don't really like. I'm not really with this. And it's just like, even if it was a great speech, though. Even if it was like i'm joe like

even if it's talking like posture means so much it's hard to correct though like you it's not just about like oh just is it a self-esteem thing though because sometimes i think maybe i don't believe in myself so i'm like why would i sit up like that to like why would i wear nice clothes where would i like why would i it's yeah it's about like yeah having enough respect for yourself to sit up straight whenever i'm feeling nervous like i can see it in my body language like i can just read how i'm my mood is if i see like a picture of myself or something like it just is all over my body like you just get smaller like i get very small when i'm feeling like insecure and when i'm like engaged and like excited like i'm out like i'm sitting up straight um and sometimes

your posture on stage is strong you don't have that like loose guy like oh i can't sometimes that's what when i wear heels and dresses it forces me to have a certain kind of you stand a certain way but my hips jut out i mean on the set of perfect strangers i was constantly being reminded to suck in and put my hips back and squeeze my ass so that my stomach goes in because I was wearing all these tight dresses and just like your stomach like goes out because I would just like stick my hips out. It's just more comfortable. Yeah. Oh, God. Jamie Lee Curtis recently came out and was like, I've spent – I've been sucking in since I was 11.

I'm done. And she just like posted this picture where her like gut is out. It's like that is like Being a woman is On TV You're sucking in Especially with the outfits You had to wear On Perfect Strangers

I get so comfortable And then If I have bad posture It's because I'm having A good time Yes You know Yes
