cool that they're doing that and you go you know how they got them to do that right they beat them profusely it was kind of exotic the where the way this woman was dressed and she just guided them with their four camels in a line. Anyway, it was looked and they were dogs. They had a great band which played really exotic music.

Were the kids excited about this? Yeah. They liked it? Yeah. This sounds exactly like our time in Jerusalem. There were camels, kids and dogs. So many camels. Oh. Did they...

Wearing a lot of face jewelry. She was kissing these camels. Who was? The woman. Oh, well, that's so sweet. Yeah, they don't beat them. It's like when you kiss someone after you've cheated them. You kiss their bruise.

Oh, yeah. It's like that Wilco song. Oh, yeah. someone after you kiss their bruise it's like that wilco song oh yeah i thought it was cute for you to kiss my purple black eye even though i caught it from you caught it from you i still think we're serious good job mom at least that's what you said i I know that better than Taylor Swift. That's true. I stay out too late. Please don't. Okay. Testing, testing. Please, just try.

Just try a couple. I stay out too late. I went on a date. No. Got nothing in my brain. That's what people say. That's what people say. I go on too many

dates but I can make them stay at least that's what people say there you go that's what people say good job okay we're done

that is terrible no it's good you're getting it this is just about repetition no it's about repetition I're getting it. This is just about repetition. Oh, I got one word in there. No, it's about repetition. We have to work on it. I think Julie should sing in a lower octave because you have a really good lower octave voice. And then you can harmonize with Nikki.

I know. You should do your gravelly, your... Gravel Gertie? Well, yeah, that was your nickname also with Pig Woman back in the day. My mom had like a series of really unfortunate nicknames. Yes. Why? Because she was a little bit chunky as a kid. Chunkers. I like how you were

a woman though. No. I was a child. Yes. Like four and a half. One of our fans I told you this found, she DM'd the show and said that her mom or her aunt or someone was also a pig woman around the same time. A couple. We looked up Oh really?

A couple. I think it was like two people who said that like their parents were called pig woman. Yes. Oh my God. Or pig girl would have been more appropriate because you were a girl at the time. But then they made you a woman. And it's like, that's not funny. I was a woman too.

Because there was a character named pig woman in the comics. Bug woman. Someone called you bug woman? I don't know. My dad. Because it's short for tater bug but he calls me bug woman but you are a bug woman you love bugs I know you

preserve bugs what's your most exotic bug what's the coolest bug you have our friendship butterfly thank you the pelicynid wasp is my favorite thing pelicynid wasp yes and why is that so exotic they're just kind of hard to find. They have a long

ovipositor which is their little butt goes like this and it sticks the eggs in and it goes chomp chomp chomp. Okay is this wasp how did you find it?

I just sought it because I like it a lot and I Flying around or dead? This was so long ago. Alive.

And I found out where they would hang out. And then you killed it? I kill. How did you kill it? Murder.

I put them in the freezer so they go to sleep. That's like kind of a peaceful death. If they did that to the camels, I would be into that. Wait, that's what they did to Casey Anthony? Well, something like that. They put her in a freezer. Oh, oh, sleepy sleep, sleep, sleep. Wait, sleepy sleep.

You should know this, Nikki. What, about Casey Anthony? Yeah, how do you know? Well, that's not proven. No, but where did you come up with that? Because I'm obsessed. She is obsessed. More than you?

She knows more about john bonnet than anyone i know she knows more about jfk assassination than except on his dad except on his dad who's an expert on it i can't wait to meet jerry cross if you want to look up his youtube videos on the jfk assassination they're so good and then columbine taylor is i asked her yesterday on the way to matchbox 20 i go because, because we were talking about like the Idaho house. You know where those murders were in Idaho that we're all talking about? They're going to tear down the house because this town is being like harassed by TikTokers and YouTubers and all these internet sleuths are coming and taking pictures outside of it. And it's just turned into like a fucking media zoo nonstop since it happened in October.

A circus, some might say. Yeah, there's camels there. like a fucking media zoo nonstop since it happened in October. A circus some might say. Yeah. There's camels there. There's abuse going on. And a beautiful exotic woman kissing them which makes it okay for some reason.

It's all right. So they're going to tear down the house and I was asking Taylor like is that a normal thing because she goes to see a lot of murder places. She went to a cave

that Charles Manson hung out in and it took her like an hour and a half to find the cave. In California? Yes. Yeah. What's the cave called for people who are Manswell the the place where they lived was spawn ranch spawn ranch spawn

s-p-a-h-n spawn you know i know oh yeah you were around back then let's go they could have gotten you i found the cave i posed in front of it oh it's still there yeah well you should go you know go on this well i asked her i go would you ever want to go to Columbine with me? And she was like, yes. I was like, of course. We were in Denver this past weekend for Brian's wedding. And Chris, we had a little bit, our flight was at like 6 or 340 or something. And we were driving out and he's like, do you want to stop in Denver or anything to go to lunch or like find?

And I was like. We know what Peggy. Should we go to Columbine? Do you call me Peggy? Thank you. She's rich and successful. I thought she was going to call you the pig woman. We know what Peggy do you call me Peggy? thank you I thought she was going to call you the pig woman

we know what pig woman that's who started the pig woman oh your sister Peggy yeah oh how dare she did you ever ask her why she said woman

instead of child because it's funnier because it's 70s I guess yeah or 80s it was women's lib they were just trying

to empower every girl to be a woman like she was into that big person but uh yeah i i even said to chris joke i didn't say it jokingly but he thought it was a joke i was like we go to combine and he like laughed and you know how like when you present something serious and someone laughs it off and you're too embarrassed to present it again it's like no, no, I actually want to do that. But I've been like three times now. But I want to go back. But Taylor is going to go with me.

Wasn't it kind of redone? Yeah, but it still has... You can't see the window that guy hung out of. Yeah, but the windows kind of look still the same. Oh, yeah. What do you mean hung out of? And it's beautiful. He kind of...

There was a victim. I forget his name. I used to... He didn't know his name. I memorized all the victim's names at one point on a plane ride because I felt really bad that i'm so obsessed with it but i don't know the victim's name so i had them all memorized at one point all like 11 or 12 that's bad that i can't even remember the number travis but i forget which one he is he survived though he's paralyzed but he um i think he's paralyzed he was you can watch live footage of him like crawling he crawled

across the library and jumped out the window and they pulled him out. He's bleeding all down. And his leg was completely shattered and he's pulled himself. And there was, I think the shooters were still active at that time. But I was telling Taylor yesterday,

sorry, this is a little Columbine, little detour. Of all the books I've read, I never got this piece of information. I got it from the subreddit. Is that a lot of mass shooters that plan this kind of stuff? The reason why we're I'm always like, why don't they kill more people? They have like AR-15s. They can just go, you know, and there's people hiding like they kind of they get bored.

First of all, if they're psychopaths, they get bored with it because it's just like that's not as great as I thought it'd be. Or they don't understand they've only played like dune or like these video games so they don't really under or they seem in movies they don't understand the smell of death they don't understand how crazy it is to look at someone's bone fragments splattered like they get disturbed by it so then they start having trauma responses and crying my god and so the combine killers could have killed a bunch of more people because there were still tons of people hiding and which who they saw, but they didn't because it was becoming to the point where they weren't picking them off across the field or whatever,

which is a little bit easier to not easier, but like not as gruesome, but they were too close, probably stopped because it was all going to be, have to be point blank. And they were getting sick. And they were kind of under. They were just getting horrified by what they were doing.

And Eric broke his nose on the gun. Wait, how do you know this? Because they didn't live to tell this. Well, they didn't live to tell this. But this was a theory that someone said of like, why didn't they kill more people? Why did they kill themselves in the library? Kind of like when people were still in there. Kind of like.

It was an hour and a half or something before the cops came. They could have killed everyone in the library kind of like when people were still in there kind of like it was an hour and a half or something before the cops came they could have yeah everyone they could have just done so much more and and and that that was one person's theory of like they were actually they didn't realize the smell i thought that particularly the smell was an interesting detail of like do you read stuff like this do you but doesn't it take a little bit of time yeah but like people like like putrefaction and pee and like blood coming out but i thought that too noah but it's like it's that it's all that it's like all bodily functions people just the smell of death of like terror everyone's crying and begging and blood like blood has a pungent smell and just the smell i don't think the smell of a rotting corpse is what i'm talking about it's more like the the blood everywhere so anyway um back to mashbox 20

my heart blood is everywhere check your bingo cards um i can't believe columbine wasn't on that um okay so last night we went to matchbox. Matchbox. It's like the past. The past is the past. The past is just the past. Well, we realize that's not his quote. Oh, yeah. It is his quote, but it's from a different book. It's Faulkner. I knew it wasn't Harry. I just thought it was sweet the way it said

Harry Faulkner. The past is past. The past is never past. If you don't know what we're talking about, yesterday's episode, Anya, I thought it was really funny in the um audiobook of harry prince harry he starts with a quote from william faulkner and it's like but he doesn't say past he says the past and it says past a bunch in it and it's just really funny we played it but for some reason it's very funny twice is enough to be a lot well he is british right So we expect him to say, it would be weird

if he said past. It would be so weird. Like, we would try to impress us. No, we'd be like, what a phony. He's trying to be American. I mean,

they can't fucking do anything without us making fun. Yeah. Oh, and you know who I was talking about yesterday that I was like, really disappointed in who was like,

going off on them being like, he's a whinging little bitch. He grew up in a royal family oh when when it was uh kelly osborne because i and i was really disappointed because i usually like her yeah but i think she's hungry oh um she is looks very very she's on ozempic for sure and so is her mom sharon her mom sharon you wouldn't recognize her you're a kid she looks anorexic oh no shade in the look. She looks anorexic. No shade.

I've been anorexic. She definitely looks like she's wearing baggy clothes to cover up how thin she is. So Ozempic works, peeps. Okay, so... But you have to be on it the rest of your life, by the way. You never get to get off of it. Or you gain it all back.

What is it? Speed? I read it. Was it Noah that sent me that article? There's an article like, there's an ozempic finger now. It's like, women are going to their jewelers in droves getting their rings resized because their fingers are shrinking. Oh, I thought it was like ozempic fingers. From barfing. You put your finger in your throat and barf and you get like a little dot on it or something. Yeah, everyone's on it but

um uh what was i gonna okay so matchbox 20 um it so my this is the whole crew i told you yesterday on the show that like i asked rob thomas for 12 tickets which is just unbelievable can i just read what i wrote to him so we all understand that i'm not a crazy person i honestly was like oh wait these people are coming too i said okay more people hi you're coming to st louis next week and i'm so freaking excited please forgive me for asking you for comps but that is exactly what i'm doing i will be buying tickets if i don't hear back so please feel free to ignore this he said are you kidding of course let me know what you need and we will set it up I said I love you we'll let you

know how many ASAP thank you Rob and then he got back to me um and then I said I'm so embarrassed because I cast too wide of a net asking my friends and family to go I thought they'd say no because of kids and such but they are all huge fans and so excited. I have 12 people willing and able to go. I am so sorry to ask for that many. And I can and gladly will pay for some or all of them. And then he said, let me ask my tour manager. I don't have any other guests, so it could be okay. Anyone coming back has to test first.

Sorry, we've had COVID cases knock out some band members. And I realized that COVID, because Taylor was like, we have the COVID test. And I'm like, COVID? Yeah, we're all kind of like over it and if you get it it's like just keep going to work whatever if you can you have to but like a singer is the only person that really gets knocked out by COVID I mean I know people get very sick and can't like sit up straight but like it attacks your throat you can't fuck with that and rob thomas as we know is a singing god yeah a vocal uh

titan he is one of the best vocalists going fight me on this i'll i'll i'll win it doesn't matter right amazing i've never even known who he was really really yeah i'm but when you played the music you were a big fan yeah no i didn't i read six songs by you and you really really yeah i'm but when you played the music you were a big fan yeah no i did i was six songs by you and you knew them yeah i knew i didn't even know i knew them yeah but they are that band that i was telling taylor yesterday if you don't like matchbox 20 you're wrong yeah you're just if there's nothing there's got to be something for you in it. It does not, it's not like, it's, it's, he's not trying to be Ke, like someone like Train or Maroon 5. You can't group them with other 90s, 2000 bands that are kind of in the same genre because there's nothing Ke about him. He's just writing his heart.

He's not trying to like manipulate it all. Chris and I were talking last night about the song 3 a.m and chris was like i kind of thought he was in that vein of guys that's like trying to get laid with music like because like the 3 a.m song and then i i told chris last night at the concert i was like because i because we were talking about this i go there's nothing about his lyrics there's nothing like he's not you know how artists like a lot of times especially like they're just trying to be hot and stuff. He's never trying to be, he just is.

He didn't have to try. But 3AM you could maybe argue is a little bit of like, mothers be good to your daughters. Like trying to get laid song. Cause it's like, I must be lonely. I don't know. You could argue that. It's like, best soy latte that you'll ever have. What is that?

Oh yeah. Train. Train. It's like best soy latte that you ever had. What is that? Oh, yeah, yeah. Train. Train. But you know why it's not? Because it's a song about his mom with cancer. So it has nothing to do with a woman. So it's sincere from his heart.

He loves women. He's so sweet. I love his songs. He's like a male Taylor Swift to me. He really captures emotions in a way that resonate with me. We're going to talk about our experience at Rats Prox 20 because it's kind of insane when we get back from this.

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. deep into the heart of the adult entertainment industry. I really wanted to be a player boy in my dog. Lingerie, topless.

I said, yes, please. Because at the centre of this murky world is an alleged predator. You know who he is because of his pattern of behaviour. He's just spinning the web for you to get trapped in it. He's everywhere and has been everywhere. It's so much worse and so much more widespread than i had anticipated together we're going to expose him and the rotten industry he works in it's not just me we're an army in comparison to him listen to the bunny trap on the iheart radio app apple podcasts

or wherever you get your podcasts all right so i get everyone's going to matchbox 20 but i only have five passes to go backstage and no one can get there early enough except me and taylor to go backstage because you got to be tested and we had to get there at like six and so taylor and i were gonna go backstage pre-show or before the concert? pre, he does pre yeah to hang, I think he did a meet and greet during the sound check with people and then I guess friends can come back

and hang the show started at 7.30 so we got there we got COVID tested I heard the wallflowers opened they did it, it was Matt Nathanson but he, the wallflowers were supposed to he was mad nathan it was amazing too i know it was good though yeah it would have been solo or band band where did you guys watch that and it's so weird because the drummer for liz fair contacted

me on instagram weeks ago and was like hey if you ever want to come to a liz fair show i'm a drummer for and we'd love to have you and And I was like, that's awesome. I would love to go. I'll check out her tour. And then he was the drummer for Matt Nathanson, but I didn't realize it until I got home, and he DM'd me and was like, that was me on your Instagram. It was so weird. Anyway, so everyone's connected. What did you ask?

Well, where did you watch the pre-band? Well, we got there. We come in, and they are waiting for us. The police are like, come on in. I'm driving your old jalopy. I'm embarrassed. The license plate is bent on the front because I always get too close to my gate and it pulls it up. And it's like crunched.

Oh my God. It's like a tent. It's a tent. I tried to kick it back. I know. It won't. I need to examine that car. I'm glad it's like that because the stickers,

I never put on because I lost the stickers. So the plates are paid for, but it's St. Louis. If they ran, it would be okay. Yeah, the registration stickers, they're expired. I went through a lot of trouble to get those. I know, but I went through a lot of trouble to lose them. I love this. So the cops wave us in, we get in.

And yeah, I've been driving with unregistered plates since November. I don't care. It doesn't matter. They are paid for. If I get pulled over, I'll just be like, I'm not drunk. I don't care. Like, I won't be any. I'll be like, hi, cop.

Yeah, I have the sticker, but they were on the back of the Star Spangled Banner that I wrote down when I was singing at the parade. And I dropped it somewhere along the parade route because I was the fucking marshal of the Saints Giving Day parade. Sorry I sang the Star Spangled Banner. Yeah, sorry. I love America. God.

No, I feel like it'll be a good story and we'll all have fun. I don't feel like going to the DMV. Who cares? What's it going to save me? A $200 ticket? I don't care. Okay.

Maybe most people would, but I just... Oh, if it's $5. If I was paying $200, if someone paid me $200 to go to the DMV and wait, I wouldn't do it. okay maybe most people would but i just that was five dollars if i was being two hundred dollars to if someone paid me two hundred dollars to go to the dmv and wait i wouldn't do it so i went down the streets quite i will go for you for two hundred dollars but no i don't think it's so very young actually so oh yeah remember we used to get taylor just real quick the other day at a nail salon what happened to you oh um mary my enemy thought that i went with my sister who's a year and a half

younger than me and she said to us oh mother daughter meaning that i was carrie's mom. You've got to be kidding me. You've got to be fucking kidding me. I have never. I was like, what? I was like, I'm one year older than her. I had her when I was one. And the guy next door went, no tip for Mary. And I was like, that's right, bitch. So I don't go there anymore.

Mary, your new enemy. I hate Mary. I don't give as many dollars as my daughter is apart from me. That is insane nobody comment about this like you look older no one would do that she was joking you don't know what my sister looks like she looks older you don't even know she doesn't she's fresh you know your sister has a benjamin button and so she looks very young um that is oh wait i guess it's the other way um that is so awful and i would still be

recovering from that i am i think about it every day i'm like i'm gonna get whatever cream mary uses she's like 70 and like 12. remember one of our friends was just saying their housekeeper was like about her husband they were like is that yours what did they say like oh you're you're much older than him she's like i'm one year older than him and she's like she was almost like proud of holla for being like uh you're like oh good job you got a young man he was probably wearing a beanie and like scuffling around. I think the way he dresses is youthful. Yes.

And he is a youthful. Oh, he has a beanie. Are we talking about John? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, Hollis' husband. But that is just devastating. People just shut the fuck up about like trying to guess people's relations.

Or being like, how many months along are you? Don't ever ask anyone that. Oh, don't ever. Wait, why? Oh, oh. Because sometimes they're like, I'm pregnant, bitch. What sometimes they're like I ain't pregnant

bitch what if they're like obviously bowling ball pregnant I think everyone who asks that thinks you're obviously pregnant

and then they're like I've never done it I always just but then sometimes they're like nine months they're in labor and I'm just like so

just like keep looking at your eyes I just can't there's like my door woman downstairs, Donetta. She is awesome. But she was like getting a little chunkers for a while. And I was like, but it was like in the front, you know, and it wasn't anywhere else. But I didn't want to say anything.

So I did it. And then she eventually was just so big that I was like, can't I just, when can you, when can you, do they have to say, you're not allowed to say, as you should. I don't know if you are,

man. As you should. What? Wait, what is my response to you? You said, when can you? When can I? Do you know what as you should is from?

No. Okay. I was at a concert or I was at Adam Sandler with Chris and like a box or no, Chris rocks, Chris rock show and Dave Chappelle in a box at the enterprise center. And at, at, sorry,

at enterprise center. I recently did an ad for this event I'm doing at enterprise center. And I was called the enterprise center. Well, yeah. Why isn't it? But they were like, you need to say at enterprise. So I was just like, why isn't it? But they were like, you need to say, at Enterprise.

So I was just like, I can't wait for this Thanksgiving Eve. I will be at Enterprise Center. I couldn't not say it like a robot. Me and Joe Buck were doing this ad. So yeah, Thanksgiving Eve if you're in St. Louis. Guns and hoses. It's where the firefighters and the policemen box each other. Guns and hoses. I'm hosting it with Joe the policemen box each other. Guns and Hoses.

I'm hosting it with Joe Buck. You don't know about that, Taylor. I have heard about the fight. It's a St. Louis tradition. It's huge. But not that it's called Guns and Hoses. And people still smoke cigarettes in this city. Oh, I'm going there.

Ew, disgusting. I'll be there. Put out this. I'm sure that's not true anymore. Yeah. I'm pretty sure it's true. Yeah. They were smoking cigs at the Riverport.

As they should. So Chris Rock is talking about someone shitting on nancy pelosi's desk yeah he's like and then you shit on nancy pelosi's desk he says something and he was making a point about something else it was just a contextual thing and this drunk idiot next to me just this girl goes as they, as they should, as they should, as they should. And I go, as they should? And she leaps up from her chair and gets in my face and is like, yeah, what do you want about it? And I was like, I put up my hair in a ponytail on the way out because I was going to say some shit to her. And I did.

I gave her boyfriend a really dirty look like, what are you doing with this fucking piece of trash? Yeah. And, um, and, and. As they should should I'm sure they're married with kids now you should always you should shit on a desk I didn't mean to call her trash but I did maybe um that's not a nice thing to call someone but she was they say something like that as they should like what why as they should have really it's not on that. Why is that a good idea? Exactly. I wouldn't shit on anyone's desk.

Why would you? I wouldn't want anyone to ever have shit on. Maybe like Bill Cosby. Or maybe a hair down proof fetish. It doesn't like, she's not cleaning it. The janitor's cleaning it. Yeah. She's not going to see it or know.

As they should. So we get, we pull in the cops let us in and we park right in between buses. I put it on my Instagram. We're like in between this shitty car, your car. That is not shitty. It's quite cute. I like it. It's a classic Lexus.

Get out of here. It is. Getting a backseat beef. I will get out of here. No, I love it. Nothing rides smoother than a Lexus. That car rides like so. Are you doing ads right now?

I'm Uber Eats and Lexuses. Lexuses drive so. Lexus Center. Have you ever driven, I don't give a fuck about cars, but I'm not kidding you, a Lexus drives so smooth. It's wild. It's different than any other car, and i am not someone who cares about that stuff but it is a thing it's true so i'd love the smoothness of it but the brakes are going out

and i'm probably gonna die so smooth it's really so smooth she's driving car i bought her so i took her car after i bought her what i buy your rev for rev for yeah okay so i I park in between buses. Hybrid. Used. 2021. Rank? 19. All right. Oh, it's that new? It looks classic. It's a great car. So then we get out of the car. I'm like doing my makeup real quick because I thought we were going to COVID test in the car and then I'd have time to do my makeup. So we get in and I'm like, they're like waiting for us. And I'm like, and then we get out. We had to put on masks to wear outside just because they're like, you know, very scared. So we COVID test and then we go wait and we're just hanging out and like talking out in this like outdoor, like backstage area. That's very nice.

And Taylor's pulling all the tags off of the outdoor couch cushions because she's like, these are eyesores. Artists do not deserve to see this shit. Rob didn't deserve it. Rob did not deserve it. It's like huge. huge like do not take off this tag by penalty like you know the huge one yeah you don't care about these penalties no way not for wrong she's making it nice for the artist it was very sweet and then um and then and then what do we hear across like a heckle from across the court and a sexy man strode forth is like something like oh look at those losers quarantined over there uh look at them they can't they can't come back to society it was some kind of heckle like that of like look at those outcasts

over there waiting like losers and it was Rob and we were like, hey! And then he was like, I'm gonna go vocal warm up. I'll be right back. And we were like, oh! And we were both just like, he looks exactly like when we Googled him yesterday. When we Googled. He looks so... Aviator. He looks clean.

Shaved head. And tan. And lean. And fit. And healthy. He just looked the same. The the same there was a blind woman at the show and he told me he met a blind woman at the meet and greet and that he was going to be most focused on her to see like if she's enjoying the show because she's just hearing oh my god he was like i'm gonna be looking at her you know and um and i said i'm gonna go up to her and go were you did you go blind like later or did you ever see rob thomas at any point because i want you to know and um and i said i'm gonna go up to her and go were you did you go blind like later or did you ever see rob thomas at any point because i want you to know he still looks the same he

looks if you were if you didn't lose your vision before the 90s you're looking just imagine the same rob thomas because he is not he is the paul rudd of rock okay no aging taking place at all it is bizarre better yeah looks better. Yeah. So anyway, he goes off and then we are just like, and then he comes back and he hangs out with us for like an hour plus. Over an hour. What do you talk to Rob Thomas about? Wow. He's so easy.

We talked about, well, I asked him about his vocal warmup and then I talked to him about just like, I really was trying to get to talk about performing and songwriting and but not in an obnoxious way where he's like I don't want to do his storytellers right now like I I was just throwing out little things to see if he bit on any of them in terms of like wanting to talk about certain stuff and he did he likes talking about what motivated a song he was like interested in saying and and telling us well actually that song is from this time in my life I got a lot of that but he was just so funny he's such a good question asker he would relate anything back oh it must be

like that in comedy like your voice is also has to be like warmed up and how is it different from yeah the way I work musicians do it it was and we were talking about horny and then what was the guitarist same I forgot his name now I remember he's amazing you know I just followed him on Instagram last night but he goes by a different name on there he's there a male Anya he's awesome oh my god that guy he looks like doing his wife his glasses and blonde hair and he's just like really sweet. They came into the room and were just signing a bunch of posters. Kyle Cook? I think it was Kyle.

No, what was the other one's name though? Paul Doucette? I think it was Paul. And so he was signing all these posters and we were talking about it. I was like, isn't it cool though that you practice that back in high school? I'm going to be famous someday. I mean, he's a rock star so he's signing all these posters. And we were talking about, I was like, isn't it cool, though, that like you practice that like back in high school? Like I'm going to be famous someday.

I mean, he's a rock star. So he definitely did. And he's like, well, not when you have to do 14,000 of them. And I'm like, oh, yeah, I have like 10 to sign backstage at my shows. And it's really fun. But we were all and he was so nice and his wife was so cool. And we're just all hanging out talking about comedians and also like talk to kind of trash,

like talking about musicians and like what they do. And, and then at one point someone asked me like, Oh, have you seen Taylor's? I had mentioned it going to Taylor Swift show. And they're like, so which one'd you go to?

And I was like, six of them. And Rob was like, I love how sad he was. I was like, I just, I'm a really big fan. And I was like,

but yeah. And, and then we were talking about her stamina, but they, I just, I'm a really big fan. And I was like, but yeah. And then we were talking about her stamina, but they, I mean, but then Rob Thomas went out there and performed for two hours and 47 minutes nonstop. And I got to say, he could have obviously done three and a half hours without any problem as well. Three nights in a row. I mean, this guy.

What time did he leave? What time is it over? It was over at 11 yeah 11 something oh wait so the opener goes on at 7 30 probably plays till 8 15 yeah then there's an intermission 8 45 and then he played three hours no no no 45 hours and like two and a half two and a half hours oh damn well i was looking at the set list on setlist.fm it shows like every band set list and that says the running time of the show and he's usually about two and a half hours 247 because he said he was gonna play two hours well i was taking him for granted like for real i had the set list in my hand so you could oh

and i was showing it to you i was trying to be like like, we got 3AM, Unwell, and Push as the encore. You got to stay after the encore. You can't. I can't believe they put those songs in the encore. But everyone stayed. I mean, it was awesome. Not you guys, but anyway, we're backstage. Well, the row emptied out when we left, right?

Yeah, it was awesome. No, it was so cool. But then we go side stage to watch Matt. He's like, you want to go check out the opener? He's amazing. So we watch Matt Nathanson from the side stage. And we're just like rocking out with Rob Thomas on the side stage. Nice.

Pointing out people in the audience and being like, that guy's having the time of his life. Look at that guy. Look at mutton chops. Look at like, we're just like not making fun of people but but like commenting and then oh the funniest part was talking about because I just know that as a woman who like loves his music so much I know there are so many women out there that are like me that like really are emotional with his music because it is Taylor Swift levels of like poetic and emotions. Like a lot of men don't write feelings as much as a Rob Thomas does for me, at least. And there's something about it.

That's always gripped me even since high school of like, this guy gets my feelings. And, um, and so I made, we were talking about, you know, the people at the show.

I go, how do you know if someone's, he was talking about someone having a rough show recently. And I said, you know, for me, it's like's like they don't laugh but like after you're set you always are gonna get applause like how do you know when they like hate you and he's like you know there's just like not moving or like they got brought they got drug along they got free tickets or and I was like or their girlfriend brought their boyfriend because they're in love with you and they have an emotional relationship with you and their boyfriend because they're in love with you and they have an emotional relationship with you.

And their boyfriend is sitting there fuming. Cause they'll never, ever touch her heart in the same way that you do. And then Taylor went into a thing and she was like, yeah, he makes beer. Did you say that? No,

Rob said, yeah, he goes, uh, what did he say? He was like, like you're a, you're an artist.

And my husband makes beer in the garage. Yeah. He was like, Rob Thomas is an artist and you make beer in our garage and so he really resonated with that because he he says i look out all the time and there is always that of like the person who wants to be there and the person they're with that's like pissed about it and and so that was a really funny moment because i have that too at my shows where like the guy will be super into me and their girlfriend will just be like ew or the other way around the guy's like I don't get this at all and the girl's like you're my Taylor Swift and he's just like she likes you I don't get it and I'm

like I don't either dude so how are they touring are they on a bus how is the tour five buses or yeah five buses seven semis or something yeah it's crazy what how long is the tour? Five buses. Seven buses. Or five buses, seven semis or something. Yeah, it's crazy. What? How long is the tour that he's on right now? I don't know. It's long. I think it's like, it's been going since May, and I think it's going to go all summer.

So he said it's like spring, summer. Does he have kids? Or is his family just his wife? He has a kid who's 24, and they opened for him at the Hollywood Bowl, his band. Oh my God, how cool. his band um the what's the lucky is the name of the band and he's um that's so cute and um his wife is on tour with him she was sick though and so she was in the bus she wasn't feeling well so she was in the bus while we all hung out but um yeah he's just like a wholesome family man normal doesn't think he's rob fucking thomas

he's been famous for 30 years very very famous he's friends with he had great things to say about all these different musicians he's i even said something about gossip he was like i don't like gossip but i like drama i like to be like what's going on but he doesn't like he's not like a guy he's not like a by the way he's just a nice person and was so, and I was like, you did not have, I go, I kept being like,

go do what you do. Like I, we're going to go to our seats and he's like, no, this is what I do. Like, well, we're just hanging.

So we're just in the backstage area. I mean, it's kind of like our shows on you. Like we're just in this backstage green room where there's waters and cough drops and coffee. And he's offering us all these things. He poured my beer and he talked to me, which was

not necessary. He was so nice to Taylor. He would lean over and say something to you and I was like, he's talking to me. He would share it to both of us. I have brought friends around celebrities and they ignore my friends.

It often happens that way and that's what you almost expect but he was like treated us as equals there was no like and then um i don't know and then the show i just have to say like you gotta go if you think you like matchbox 20 at all you gotta fucking go to a show because i thought i thought i knew every song that I knew I knew every song minus like two songs wow it was insane how many songs the hits that they knew a bunch too and I didn't even know I would say they've had 25 billboard 100 hits at least yeah at this point is as a band not even to mention I I would guess that's around the number. It's outrageous how many hits they have. And his voice is better than ever. The band is having so much fun.

They're running around the stage. They're not just like standing there playing. Like they're just, they're so into it. It was a great show and it rivaled Eris for me. Like, wow. I told him afterwards, I was like, I've been to six, you know, you know my history with Taylor Swift.

This was up there in terms of watching someone I told him afterwards, I was like, I've been to six, you know, you know, my history with Taylor Swift. This was up there in terms of watching someone who knows how to fucking put on a show. He was. He's amazing. That's all I know. The mic stand spin. How funny was that? So good. He like did Jesus on it.

Yeah. He took the mic stand and started whipping it around his head like a lasso. There's a video of it on my Instagram if you want to see he's whipping it around like his band must know that's what he does at that part or something they stand back it would take some time yeah it's like a jagged mic stand with like the splay at the bottom and he's whipping it around his head all the way like um like it almost like a child but it looked cool oh my god and he's just so nice and so cool and we i was laughing so hard during the show because taylor at one point was like what if he listens to today's podcast and sees us googling rob thomas aviators short hair red shirt

1997 me and we just acted so normal we were. But he will then know what we were doing earlier. Well, no, exactly. And I was going to hear this, and I'm like, I'm horny. I'm horny. He was nice to that girl. Oh, my God. Yeah. I'm like, yeah, we'll have a beer.

That's cool. JK. He's totally going to see. I want to make a clip of it, because that really made me laugh that we got so into specifics of what we wanted from that Google image search of Rob Thomas. But he was just so nice. And then after the show, I just texted him like, I was like, holy fucking shit. That was insane. Like, I just needed him to know how good it was, even though he just probably clearly knows.

But it was just, I mean, Mom, do you agree? I couldn't believe it. I mean, you went to went to eras it was up there with that right like in terms of an entertainer i was so amazed by that guy honestly i couldn't even look at him i had to look at the big screen i was like oh my god his voice and i thought he was gonna die because the humidity was so bad last night even question like I think I'm gonna wear a denim shirt and I go I think it's a little high but he's headed through it within the half half through halfway through the first song he was yeah it was a different color no it kept getting wetter and what I thought he's going to take a break.

We were all getting... He needs water. Someone get this guy some water. But he was... I thought he was going to probably have to change or something or take a break. He never did, did he? No, he didn't. I mean, I kept waiting for him to change.

No, it was just like guzzling water. He didn't care. I mean, I was worried at first, but then I was like, this guy's a fucking... He knows. He's been in every environment. There's nothing to worry about. That's the kind of show you want to go to where you're like, I'm in good fucking hands. This is a pro.

The whole band is pro. It's so nuts. Did he talk between songs? Only once did he do a little speech of like, it's been a long time since we've seen you. He did a funny thing where he's like you know um 2020 that we were all fucked to 2021 it was still kind of fucked 2022 that one was on us we weren't ready yet and then so and then he's like but 2023 that we're back and so that's all he did and we kind of even talked about like what um certain bands or like band leaders will say to the crowd because i went to flaming lips last week and i wish chris

were here to recount this but um wayne coin i guess his name is yes i love i love flaming lips and i love that album but he wouldn't stop asking people to cheer he'd be it was obsessive and i'm not joking you probably annoying a hundred times he would be like louder come in keep going and we're all tired and standing i'm like dude someone needs to tell him it's a fucking wednesday night in st louis and it's the air quality is bad we're outside we're all standing and we were giving it up as i mean i thought it was adequate but he wanted more and more that's hearing it did not stop imagine dating that and and telling people to jump. No.

Go away. What about the wheelies? Come on now. What? People in the wheelchairs. What about them? They can't do that. What the hell? That's Papa Wheelie.

It's true. But yeah, he kept saying this. And then it was not enough for him. And by the way, at a Flaming Lips show there's gigantic um blow-up doll type things happening on stage gigantic fills up the whole stage of these huge bears or whatever and uh i guess robots that have like penises and then he there's confetti and glitter shooting out all the whole night then there's like balls they pass around and there's these big balls that you kind of gotta watch because one might just hit you in the back of the head from behind and you're like the

asshole that gets bombed. I also don't like that. I hate that because now I'm like her name is Yashimi I like can't watch because I'm so worried about the fucking ball hitting me on the head and everyone going like did you see it smash that girl and I'd be like whoa and there'd be like a slow-mo video and then be on reddit of me being like oh wow so full so where was this concert he breaks out this was at hollywood but it's like over in a different area it's like a smaller venue it's called like the music box oh okay um in the same areas as the riverport one last night. So then, but, okay, so then he breaks out a flashlight and starts shining it on areas of the crowd to be like,

you need to cheer. And I'm like, I'm on vocal rest, bitch. I'm not cheering. It was, and Chris and I were laughing so hard because he was like, and keep saying, I love you because I feed off of that energy. No offense to claiming lips. It felt like the first time

someone ever been on stage. Like it felt like that kind of energy. But he was having a blast. I think he might be a little spectrum-y which is great because it's provided us

with great music but he's just like and maybe has done a lot of LSD or some kind of drug that makes him like I just want the love. I want to hear the love.

I always feel sorry for those people that have to clean that crap up I know there's so much to clean I mean all that confetti don't do that it was cool though the confettis were little robots and then we were collecting it

we were putting it on this man and there was a girl at the show so one of the lines in this there was a man in front of us there were these hot girls next to us that were like literally probably born the year this album that they were playing came out. It's called Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. And it's an amazing album, front to back, kind of. In the middle it gets a little eh.

But it's, there's this one song like, do you realize that you have the most beautiful face? And right before they started playing that song, I told to Chris and I was like, Chris, the girl to your right at about three o'clock has the most beautiful face in all of St. Louis. It's I've never she's 100 percent the prettiest person within 200 miles of us in Missouri, St. Louis. It's I've never, she's a hundred percent the prettiest person within 200 miles of us in Missouri, I would say. And then all of a sudden they was like, do you? And I was like, I didn't even realize. And so Chris was like, I was like, I'm going to sing it to her. And so I kept going like, you have the most beautiful. She was stunning. And I wanted to tell her so bad, but i was like nervous and i was also like chris get a look you gotta check this out it's the prettiest girl i've ever

seen in my life she looked like um natalie portman mixed with kira knightley like she had kind of like a bit of foxy face yes mixed with like um kaya gerber mixed with Lori Loughlin. That kind of small nose, dark eyes, really long blonde hair. But then she had fun little pigtails that were bun pigtails. And then she had sparkles on her eyes, around.

That is what you're supposed to wear to a flaming lip show. Yeah, it really was. But she knew every lyric. I was like, these girls are so cool that they were born the year this album came out, when I was in college. But they were, like, on it. And they were picking up these robot little paper mache, like, paper robots and putting them on the guy in front of them. Because the guy couldn't feel it. He was, like, piling up all this confetti.

And he was sweaty. And Chris and I were, like, wanting to be friends with these hot girls. And so we were like, let's like do it with them. And we tried to like do it, but they didn't even notice. And they were probably just like, what are these old people doing? Trying to get in on our game. Weird parents over there. She's like, this one girl kept singing at me and I was like turning away.

I have footage of it. I'll put it on the Instagram of me singing to this girl. And you can kind of see her. Her friend was also very beautiful, but not as beautiful as she. No offense to this friend. I know you already feel it. But but but actually she was she was right underneath her. They were the two most beautiful people ever.

But if you look beyond, that's the girl I'm singing to. And she has pigtails and I'll put it on the Instagram. OK, we're going to go to break and we'll talk about something else when we get back.

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, Minnie 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.

When a group of models from the UK wanted my help, I went on a journey deep into the heart of the adult entertainment industry. I really wanted to be a playboy model. Lingerie, topless. I said yes please. Because at

the centre of this murky world is an alleged predator. You know who he is because of his pattern of behaviour. He's just spinning the web for you to get trapped in it. He's everywhere and has been everywhere. It's so much worse and so much more widespread than I had anticipated. Together, we're going to expose him and the rotten industry he works in. It's not just me. We're an army in comparison to him. to the bunny trap on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts okay final thought um let's play just a tight round of that's uh impromptu of um first first best what first last best what is it called top

I can't say. Remember when you told me, don't give up your sex? Yeah. That was great advice. I still mean it. That's so British. I still mean it. It's true.

It's great advice. And believe me, Chris feels the brunt of that advice ringing true right now. I'm like, my mom told me not to give up my sex. He's like, we're in a relationship. I have to honor my mother. Exactly. Yeah yeah keep it up um you're doing good so um okay top one bottom one i wanted to do um emojis and i know we've done this on the show before but never with um we did it with andrew and me and noah so it's been a

while so and your favorite emoji changes so it's and you don't even have to think of your favorite one you can just think of which one you send the most or use the most. Okay. Mom, we'll start with you. Do you have a least favorite emoji? I mean, I don't even know what emojis are out there, but I do know one that bugs me. Yes, perfect. Okay.

That eggplant. I knew you were going to say that. Yeah, I had a feeling too too isn't that a penis yeah but it's like it does what it doesn't even have penis what is so gross to think about a penis that looks like an eggplant it is i agree especially when they do the cum they do that and then they do the splash so it looks like oh my god i'll show you i'll send it to you yeah please that would be great i love it too i mean it makes my tongue swell but nightshades really yeah it's like my favorite lectins lectins they really get my tongue for a year there i remember when you were like

no what about the box no lectins no like i was obsessed with lectins and try to do a diet without lectins you'll die you it's the it's you can't eat anything that's why you will lose weight because they're like potatoes anything with seeds in it are like lectins no potatoes and you you know when you look on any ingredient it's like soy lectin is in everything well it might be, actually. I don't even know how to watch for that. So you hate the eggplant emoji. You're not getting sent this, Anita, time.

EJ sends it. No one has ever sent me that. I always said, what the hell is this eggplant for? Yeah. Now we know what you're going to get commented. How do you know this? The other day you said someone was love bombing someone. And I go, how the fuck did you know that term?

Vanderpump? She reads. Maybe. But how do you know love bomb? You probably read the love addiction book. No, she doesn't read sex and love addiction books. Read this. Read this.

Thank you. You don't read about. No, but I'm not. You're not reading like the body keeps the score like no getting the love that you want you're reading either one of them because i gave it to you and insisted on it that's a valid stuff right wait how did you find out about love bombing because it was we were at the cellar and and mom said something about like well he's just love bombing her and rachel finds him was like what did you just how do you know love bombing where is your mom coming up with these terms i i love

that term because i'm when i i don't even know where i found it out but yeah when i figured it out it's like oh that's a thing for sure yeah where people just try to win you over by like saying the nicest things and gifts and like, and then they whip it out. They whip it away? They whip it away. Yeah, that's what love bombing is. I haven't seen the whip away yet. Well, the love bomb needs to have the whip away.

Oh, okay. Well, we're waiting. Otherwise it's just love. Because my mom was describing someone that we know and she was like, he's love bombing her. And I was like, I think he just loves her. Well, it's over. It's over the top. She's like, it's too much. It's too much. I'm like I think he just loves her well it's over it's too much it's too much I'm like oh yeah god forbid this guy loves someone too much yeah I've never seen anything like it yeah

but love bombing needs to be whipped away at some point it needs to be a tactic to track and then to okay well then I know when to use it okay now you. I think it needs that component. Okay, emojis. My least favorite emoji is a wink because it's just disgusting and flirty and people throw it on things and it makes everything sexual somehow and just like any kind of like face

emoji I don't really like. No, that's not true because my favorite one is a face. What about this girl? The one that's the hands like, I don't know. I like that one. I like that one too. I don't like her. She's ditzy.

I like it when it's a man because men are allowed to not know, but women should fucking know. I've never seen the man. Throw a baseball cap on that one and you're like, okay, I get it. What's your least favorite? You have a flip phone, so. I don't know my least favorite but i know my fave okay just go to that um the one that like investigation man and with the raised eye like he's really getting the bottom out taylor has the best emojis one time

she sent me one and i took a screenshot of it because i wasn't wearing my readers and I expanded it. And I was like, is this a prosthetic arm? And it was. She knows all the cool. It was like a buff one. It was like, I can, we can do this. But like prosthetic arm. Yeah, but it was a prosthetic limb. Because it had like the little attachments at the end.

Like little dots on the end. They're being inclusive now. That's cool. So like find a crow or like a, not just the syringe, but being inclusive now. That's cool. So like find a crow or like a, not just the syringe, but like a different kind of syringe.

She knows all the black market. Because to me they're all novel and I get excited to go through them because I don't get to see them a lot. I like that we're talking about inclusivity

on this podcast. If that person who used that arm was at a concert and someone said wave your arms in the air, that would be as fun as they jump

to a bunch of wheelies. They're like, oh man, i can't again god he's just like has to take his one arm that works to move the one that doesn't no he'd be kooky and take it off and wave it with yeah that would be cool that would actually be cool kooky take um okay yeah i do like an investigative one that's just like i like the ones that are always like what are you doing here my favorite though i use it all the time now is the one that's melting i know yeah and it's just like because it's in response to anything if you fuck up saying something really dumb if you like are like that was the best show of my life i'm melted if you're like i'm so hungry i'm gonna like the one that's just melting into a puddle is top notch everyday use. He's on acid, I think, too.

He's like, whoa, there you go. Brain melted. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And Mindblown used to be fun, but I think Melty Guy is the new one. What about you guys? I like that one. It's very Dolly esque. My least favorite is like the swastika. I think

that's kind of rude. It's overused. Is there really one? No. What the fuck? Listen, I don't even know. You're like going, I hate the school.

There's a prosthetic arm. There might as well be a swastika. We got to be inclusive. There's tiki torches. Oh, yeah. I love that tiki torch. And truck nuts. Truck nuts.

That would be so funny. I mean, if that was, the fact that you thought that we weren't kidding. Listen, I don't even know what's out there. You don't. I really don't. I hate the happy face that's like this. I hate that one. I'm like, hey, it's too bright.

It looks like it's on Adderall. It's like, hey, it's here. That is so creepy. There's never an great idea. Like, that is so creepy. There's never an occasion for that. Don't send me that. I'll say the one that, you know, I think I've probably talked about this on the podcast before. Bears repeating. Right when emojis, the one, emojis, like, come out with new ones all the time.

And the one had just come out of the bearing teeth emoji. That's like, y emoji. That's like. That's my bottom one. Yeah. Is that your bottom one, Noah? It's my bottom one because I misused it. And for so long. For so long.

And I was texting with you and you're like, why do you keep putting that emoji? Do you know what it means? And I'm like, yes, I thought it was like a wide smile like no it's teeth shattering you might have autism because you or not you probably don't actually because dr glace but people with autism might think that's like oh teeth equals a smile and i thought it was too like because it's just like this it's like but it's supposed to be like yikes and aren't they green no just kidding They can be green. There's ones that are green that are like sick.

I'm just kidding. I like that one. My favorite one is like, it came in the upgrade, which was like, I guess like maybe half a year ago. It's the Twilight Zone eyes where it's like swirls for eyes and he's all like confused. Oh yeah, that one's really good. I can't wait to look at these. They're fun. It's really good. I can't wait to look at these. They're fun. It's like stickers. But the Baring Teeth one, I went on a date with a guy.

And then afterwards, I went on a podcast and talked about him. And I knew he was listening. It was a live radio show. And then afterwards, and I didn't say anything bad. But afterwards, I was like, or I just got in my car afterwards. And the text I see from him because he is listening was three of those gritting teeth emojis.

And I didn't know what it meant. I sent it to all my friends and go, what does this mean? And half of them were like, he loved it. He's smiling. And the other half were like, I don't know. But this was 2017 before anyone knew what the fuck that one,

now it's very clearly like not a good thing. And then the prayer hands is always a classic, even though that was originally meant to be a high five. Are you kidding? Isn't that interesting? I thought it was like praise the Lord. I thought it meant thank you. And then I thought,

now I think thank you. They've changed it. So if you type in thank you in the emoji thing, it comes up, but it originally was supposed to be like woohoo high five that's what I thought too that doesn't make any sense but I'm going to look at my emojis and just see which ones

are like popping up for me first right now on the girls chat we use a volcano a lot we made that the new one which is fun volcano is a great thing instead of fire emoji no one's going to misconstrue that okay my most popular ones heart oh the is a great thing instead of fire emoji. No one's going to misconstrue that. Okay, my most popular ones,

heart, oh, the TM. I put a TM on a lot of things when I try to trademark it because it looks just funny. TM. When you're like, I'm going to take a shit TM or like you just like, it's like the shit or something.

Oh, so don't try to steal it. Don't try to take a shit in five minutes. Volcano. You'll get sick of it. Spade Wheel is so fun. Oh, yeah. You use those. That's a very Anya one.

I got it from Sarah Lena. Yeah. I think. Oh, Sarah Lena loves the current Wheel. Spade told me a hilarious one that he would. I think he'll be okay with me saying this because he's said it to people before in front of me. He would like to DM a girl that he thought was cute or whatever.

He would just do a parachute, dropping into your DMs like a guy parachuting in, which is hilarious. That's cute. And then one girl sent a scissors. Oh, that's great. I love that girl. And he was like, I was so into it.

It was like, that was the best. I would never send some scripts. Yeah, no kidding. Speaking of David Spade, you can come see us in Vegas at the Venetian, July 30th and June 30th and July 1st. That's coming up next week. So if you want to plan a last minute trip, we also have four other dates on
