Speaker 1: This is pod Popular Podcast for the People, The.
Speaker 2: Great Love Debate. It's the Great Love Debate, the Great
Speaker 2: Love Debate. It's a Great Love Debase. Hi, get everyone's
Speaker 2: Brian Howie. Welcome to the Great Love Debate, the world's
Speaker 2: number one dating and relationship podcast since twenty and fifteen.
Speaker 2: I am here in the very fine studios of Pod
Speaker 2: Popular Podcasts for the People. I am at the one
Speaker 2: in Scottsdale, Arizona. But I'm gonna take you guys on
Speaker 2: a trip. I just said, this is the number one
Speaker 2: dating relationship podcast since twenty fifteen. Somebody asked me the
Speaker 2: other day, which is the favorite episode of this podcast
Speaker 2: I have ever done? Which one? If you had to
Speaker 2: put one in the in the time capsule holds up?
Speaker 2: And some people would be like, oh, that's like picking
Speaker 2: your favorite child. I'm not a parent. I think you
Speaker 2: can pick your favorite child. I think everybody has a
Speaker 2: favorite child and they just don't want to admit it.
Speaker 2: But this episode goes back five years. To go listen
Speaker 2: to it to see if it holds up. It's very
Speaker 2: relevant now because I did an episode a couple of
Speaker 2: weeks ago about how lousy everybody has become at interacting
Speaker 2: on dates and how that just drove me nuts that
Speaker 2: nobody else had a face to face. So this episode
Speaker 2: was done pre COVID, before we lost our minds. This
Speaker 2: was done in twenty nineteen. I had as my compadre
Speaker 2: on this show the person who is probably more responsible
Speaker 2: for this show being successful than anybody else, my producer,
Speaker 2: the two time Emmy Award winning Keko, and we sat
Speaker 2: down and we gave you a little glimpse of what
Speaker 2: we believe is the key ingredients to dating success. So
Speaker 2: I'm going to revisit this now. You can call this cheating,
Speaker 2: you can call us a rerun. I'm saying that this
Speaker 2: is content that is relevant today. We're resurfacing it, we're
Speaker 2: repurposing it, and we are bringing to you now. So
Speaker 2: in joy, Hi again it once Brian How. We welcome
Speaker 2: to the Great Love Debate, the world's number one dating
Speaker 2: and ladyship podcast since twenty fifteen, with me not as always,
Speaker 2: but as preferred, the two time Emmy Award winning Kko. Hey,
Speaker 2: and she may regret being with me this time. We
Speaker 2: will get to in a minute. So I met up
Speaker 2: with an old friend of mine about a week ago,
Speaker 2: Sarah Gore she's a TV personality. She covers a lot
Speaker 2: of things. She hosts a couple of TV shows around
Speaker 2: the country, and she's been on this podcast before. She
Speaker 2: did the podcast with me that we did from the
Speaker 2: Carlisle Hotel about a year ago, so go check that
Speaker 2: out if you want. Anyway, I asked her how her
Speaker 2: marriage was going, and she said great, and that's always
Speaker 2: lovely to hear, and I was very happy for her.
Speaker 2: And I asked her what was great about it, because
Speaker 2: too many times I hear it's going okay, or we
Speaker 2: like the kids, and I never really got a good answer,
Speaker 2: but she gave me a great and she explained that
Speaker 2: her husband is a documentarian, which means to her and
Speaker 2: to me that he is always curious. And we talk
Speaker 2: about curiosity on this podcast all the time. Is it's
Speaker 2: a really really important thing, and so every day it
Speaker 2: feels to her like he is making a documentary about her,
Speaker 2: which doesn't mean that he's like popping a camera on
Speaker 2: her when she's doing her makeup. It just means that
Speaker 2: he's trying to figure her out and learning her and
Speaker 2: learning about her and asking things of her. And I
Speaker 2: thought that was a really good thing for her. And
Speaker 2: a good thing for their marriage and a good quality
Speaker 2: to have. And as we have said many many times
Speaker 2: on this podcast, we've even done a couple episodes on it,
Speaker 2: curiosity is not only an attractive quality, it's a really
Speaker 2: valuable quality. I ask questions for a living, Keiko asks
Speaker 2: questions for a living. We really value learning people, and
Speaker 2: Keko will ask a question of anybody in the world.
Speaker 2: I value learning people, certain people a little bit less
Speaker 2: than Cakeo, but she really will ask a question from
Speaker 2: luber driver guy at the fruit stand, president of the
Speaker 2: United States. She will ask anything of anybody. So we
Speaker 2: really value learning people and trying to unravel the layers
Speaker 2: that make people tick and make people think, and make
Speaker 2: people live and ultimately make people love. So first and
Speaker 2: foremost in this podcast, we are in the curiosity business.
Speaker 2: That's what drives us, that is the unifying factor in
Speaker 2: all aspects of the Great Love debate. And secondly, we
Speaker 2: are in the conversation business, and a conversation that has
Speaker 2: no end, that anyone can participate in and all are
Speaker 2: welcome and all have a place. And third we are
Speaker 2: in the opinion business because opinions matter, because opinions are
Speaker 2: passionate and opinions are personal, and opinions park conversation and
Speaker 2: debate and discussion and depth, and all of that flows
Speaker 2: from opinion, which flows from conversation, which flows from curiosity.
Speaker 2: But fourth, and we have been dragged a bit grudgingly
Speaker 2: into this at the Great Love Debate over the last
Speaker 2: few years, we are in the advice business, and sometimes
Speaker 2: that means killing bad advice, and there's a lot of
Speaker 2: bad advice out there, and sometimes that means giving fresh
Speaker 2: advice and better advice and more practical advice, and advice
Speaker 2: that comes from curiosity and the conversation and the opinions
Speaker 2: and the feelings and the experiences of the literally tens
Speaker 2: of thousands of people who've been a part of the
Speaker 2: Great Love Debate over the last six years and the
Speaker 2: more than twenty years I've been producing content about the
Speaker 2: male and female dynamic, and over the I don't know
Speaker 2: how many years Keiko has been asking questions of people.
Speaker 2: So some of that has trickled into the fact that
Speaker 2: we have some things to say, and we have some
Speaker 2: questions to ask, and we have some information to give.
Speaker 2: So the reason thing that triggered this for me was
Speaker 2: not just my conversation with Sarah. It was every once
Speaker 2: in a while, meaning hourly, somebody will send me a article,
Speaker 2: or somebody will send me a YouTube video, or somebody
Speaker 2: will send me a meme or a blog about something
Speaker 2: that has to do with the love and the search
Speaker 2: for love and blah blah blah. And the thing that
Speaker 2: has been sent to me the most where it says
Speaker 2: what do you think of this over the last few years,
Speaker 2: has been this thing. It was initially in the New
Speaker 2: York Times and it was article called the thirty six
Speaker 2: Questions that lead to Love? Kako, have you ever seen
Speaker 2: that thing? It's center on the thirty six to six
Speaker 2: questions that lead to love, and the premise behind it is,
Speaker 2: if you ask these thirty six questions, you're gonna get
Speaker 2: somewhere in your relationship or love is gonna spark. And
Speaker 2: you know what, they don't lead to anything. These questions suck.
Speaker 2: They lead to stress, and they lead to second thoughts,
Speaker 2: and they lead to lying, and they lead to insecurity
Speaker 2: because the answer to these questions aren't about how I
Speaker 2: feel about them, It's about how you feel about them.
Speaker 2: And there's judgment in them, and there is no confidence
Speaker 2: in them. And the question claim that they're going to
Speaker 2: make the other person more vulnerable, but what they're actually
Speaker 2: doing is making themselves more guarded because they they aren't
Speaker 2: confident and that these are the right answers, both in
Speaker 2: terms of how they feel about it, because they're too
Speaker 2: complex in the terms of how you receive it, because
Speaker 2: you're getting graded on how good your answers are. So like,
Speaker 2: for example, if you are on a first date or
Speaker 2: a fifth date, or five months down the road and
Speaker 2: somebody asked you, uh, some of these questions like like
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna pull up one of the questions
Speaker 2: off of this, and again I'm always one who hates
Speaker 2: the dinner guest choices and the where's the place you
Speaker 2: want to travel? Because I think you're being judged on
Speaker 2: your on your answer. So if somebody asked you, do
Speaker 2: you have a secret hunch about how will you how
Speaker 2: you will die? I don't think that's a good thing
Speaker 2: to think about. I don't think it's a good question.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's loving. I think you're gonna really
Speaker 2: And that's that's one of these thirty six questions. Another
Speaker 2: one name three things you and your partner appear to
Speaker 2: have in common appear for my purporne up here from
Speaker 2: your point of view, like, that's not a good question.
Speaker 2: That's going to lead to to if a crystal ball
Speaker 2: could tell you the truth about yourself, what would you
Speaker 2: want to know? I don't want that. That's not fun,
Speaker 2: it's not playful, it's not romantic. These questions are going
Speaker 2: to lead to walls going up. So I cannot believe
Speaker 2: that the traction that this got. I can't believe people
Speaker 2: were printing this out and going on dates and asking
Speaker 2: the people. And it's absolutely terrible. And it came out
Speaker 2: of the Modern Love our blog pod whatever the whole
Speaker 2: Modern Love world is in the New York Times, New
Speaker 2: York Times, and I hate it. So I have been
Speaker 2: working on this for a couple of years now, which
Speaker 2: is my my retort to this, My response, and what
Speaker 2: came out of this is what I call can I
Speaker 2: have Little fanfair please? The twenty three questions that matter?
Speaker 2: And these are the twenty quist any three questions that
Speaker 2: matter because they're going to drive curiosity, they're going to
Speaker 2: drive personality, they're going to drive vulnerability, they're going to
Speaker 2: drive creativity, and most importantly, they're going to drive fun
Speaker 2: between you and you want. Questions that lead to love
Speaker 2: start with a spark, and a spark leads to banter,
Speaker 2: and a banter leads to chemistry, and chemistry leads to love.
Speaker 2: You got that. I'm tying a lot of threads together here, Okay, right,
Speaker 2: So I came up with these questions, and these questions
Speaker 2: are designed. If somebody does not want to answer these
Speaker 2: questions or they don't feel comfortable answering these questions, then
Speaker 2: you don't want to date this person. Okay, there's not
Speaker 2: a person you want to date. So I had to think,
Speaker 2: who is the most private person? I know, who's the
Speaker 2: most reserved person? I know, who's the person who really
Speaker 2: doesn't want to show her cards in any way? And
Speaker 2: I thought, I'm going to try out these questions for
Speaker 2: the benefit of our vast great love debate audience and
Speaker 2: ask these questions and won't behold that person is the
Speaker 2: two time Emmy Award winning kaka.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. So is that how I ended up
Speaker 1: in the seat?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how you ended up in the seat too.
Speaker 2: You're like, are we having a guest? No, we are not,
Speaker 2: so Keiko, here's the deal. So I'm gonna ask you
Speaker 2: all twenty three questions. Okay, you have to answer twenty
Speaker 2: of them, I mean three times, and you don't have to.
Speaker 2: If you don't want three times, you can pass, okay,
Speaker 2: either because you don't have anything coming off the top
Speaker 2: of your head or because you don't feel comfortable answering it.
Speaker 2: Is that fair?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fair, okay.
Speaker 2: And I think these twenty three questions are not only
Speaker 2: better than the thirty six dopey questions in that thing,
Speaker 2: these twenty three questions, whatever the answers are out of them,
Speaker 2: if you go through the exercise of asking these questions
Speaker 2: of your date or your partner or even your fiance,
Speaker 2: you're going to get closer to them. You're gonna have
Speaker 2: a spark to them. You're gonna banner, and you're gonna
Speaker 2: have a really, really good time. Are you ready?
Speaker 1: Nice? Okay, I'm ready?
Speaker 2: Okay. Question one, what do you want in your omelet? Cheese?
Speaker 1: Lots of cheese.
Speaker 2: That's it. You get three ingreded and send the extra
Speaker 2: one is a dollar.
Speaker 1: Fifty cheese cheese, and I'm happy to pay another dollar
Speaker 1: fifty for even more cheese. So you just want you
Speaker 1: I just want cheese, cheese, omelet.
Speaker 2: No judgments, So just no vegetables, no mushrooms.
Speaker 1: No, just cheese.
Speaker 2: You only want cheese your omelet. Interesting? See, I would
Speaker 2: have never known you could see. You could date somebody
Speaker 2: for years and not nod. Okay, what do you want
Speaker 2: your almet cheese? Question number two? I checked out at
Speaker 2: CVS and in my very very long receipt I got
Speaker 2: a voucher for a free candy What are you picking?
Speaker 1: The first one that comes to mind is a Snickers bar?
Speaker 2: Snickers? Yeah? Why do you don't make any apologies for
Speaker 2: the Snickers bar? Why Snickers? What do you like? Is
Speaker 2: there nugating Snickers?
Speaker 1: I love Snickers?
Speaker 2: You know what?
Speaker 1: I'm not even really sure what's in it, but it
Speaker 1: just seems like it has a lot of variety in it,
Speaker 1: and I like variety. It's got chocolate, it's got caramel,
Speaker 1: it's got peanuts.
Speaker 2: Had a nugat in it? Would you know what nugat is?
Speaker 1: Is that that the gluey stick white stuff?
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's only in candy bars. It's deliciously
Speaker 2: in candy I questions. That's not one of your twenty
Speaker 2: three questions. You only want cheese in your omelet, and
Speaker 2: you want snickers. Yeah, okay, number three and some aer
Speaker 2: harder than others. Okay, one thing you've never told anyone,
Speaker 2: but you're dying to tell someone, And now someone's going
Speaker 2: to be you know, one hundred thousand people listening to
Speaker 2: this podcast, So you might want to think about that.
Speaker 2: If you're confessing to a major crime. I've never told anyone,
Speaker 2: but you are dying to tell someone.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, let me think about that one. It's
Speaker 1: such an interesting question. I don't want to use one
Speaker 1: of my passes on this. Geez. I don't know that
Speaker 1: I have something I'm dying to tell somebody. I have
Speaker 1: no murders in my background, just to make that clear, right, Like,
Speaker 1: nothing that I feel like I need to confess to,
Speaker 1: or that I should confess to or whatever. What would
Speaker 1: I be dying to tell somebody? The first thing that
Speaker 1: comes to mind for me is some travel story. But
Speaker 1: since I talk about my travel stories all the time,
Speaker 1: I don't know that there's one left that I haven't
Speaker 1: already told.
Speaker 2: So did something happened on a travel that you've never told?
Speaker 2: But you, like, I really got to find the right
Speaker 2: person to tell this to. And it might be one
Speaker 2: hundred thousand podcast listeners. You can pass if you want.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I think, not because not because
Speaker 1: I'm I'm high.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a bad question.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a bad question. I just need
Speaker 1: some more, some more thoughts.
Speaker 2: Perhaps on a future podcast, she's going to think of
Speaker 2: it and reveal it. Yeah that was question.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2: Question number four, I don't care if you sing karaoke,
Speaker 2: although you should, but if you were going to pick
Speaker 2: a song, what is it?
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, Okay, So I'm not really a singer
Speaker 1: as those.
Speaker 2: Who different skill.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. It's just uh, let's see. I I
Speaker 1: heard actually a guy on on the street the other
Speaker 1: day on a doing a street karaoke of Desperado, and
Speaker 1: that's why it's coming to mind, Not because I love
Speaker 1: that song or not or anything, but I just heard it,
Speaker 1: and so that's what's that's what's triggering Desperado.
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, if you would like to hear Keiko sing
Speaker 2: Desperado on a future podcast, justice an email, gay.
Speaker 1: You have to sing?
Speaker 2: No good choice. I don't like that. Okay. Question five,
Speaker 2: I've got the best marinera sauce. I'm gonna leave the
Speaker 2: pasta choice up to you. What kind of pasta are
Speaker 2: you bringing to my marin AA sauce? Spaghetti, just flat
Speaker 2: out spaghetti. I love spaghetti, the spaghetti thickness. Then, not
Speaker 2: the cappellini, not the digel.
Speaker 1: Hair, regular spaghetti, now the organic spaghetti, preferably imported from Italy.
Speaker 2: But definitely very simple, very high maintenance, in real fast act.
Speaker 1: I love spaghetti.
Speaker 2: So just gold fashioned spaghetti, fashion spaghetti, good no spaghetti.
Speaker 2: See reasonable. See I'm learning more about Keiko in these
Speaker 2: first five questions than I have ever learned about Keiko.
Speaker 1: I think that's true.
Speaker 2: Six. Okay, what crime could you most likely get away with?
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, let's see here. What crime? Let me
Speaker 1: think about that. What what are my choices on crimes?
Speaker 1: I don't know, something like, uh, probably okay, this isn't
Speaker 1: really a crime. But uh something happened to do with
Speaker 1: confusing other people like I did no no, no, Like
Speaker 1: I I had to take a bus from one terminaara here.
Speaker 1: Maybe this is the last question. I had to take
Speaker 1: a bus from one airport to another airport in Thailand,
Speaker 1: and you couldn't actually do that unless you had a
Speaker 1: ticket that was leaving from the other airport, which I
Speaker 1: did not yet have fair evasion?
Speaker 2: Is that the scofflaw.
Speaker 1: I think that's the one you're most likely. Well, I
Speaker 1: did get away with that, Okay, I did very much.
Speaker 2: See if you ask somebody that and they just look
Speaker 2: at you and they go murder, you should probably break
Speaker 2: up with that person, or if they have something a
Speaker 2: little too detailed, break up. So that tells you a
Speaker 2: lot about about Keiko, very innocent person. Occasionally, she didn't
Speaker 2: pay her fare in Bangkok, but that's also kind of
Speaker 2: ballsy because you could risk doing a hard time like
Speaker 2: Broke Down Palace. I believe that movie was Bangkok. I
Speaker 2: think they smuggled drugs.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, no it was. It was wasn't anything
Speaker 1: that bad. All I did was just let the guy
Speaker 1: know I needed to go the other airport, and then
Speaker 1: I talked and laughed a lot, and you couldn't really
Speaker 1: is a master waved me on to get rid of me.
Speaker 2: I think, okay, fair evasion, fair her choice. I could
Speaker 2: ask a lot of people that I don't think that
Speaker 2: good for you. If I need you on the subway
Speaker 2: and we're gonna jump the turnstile, yeah, okay. Number seven
Speaker 2: what's your favorite condiment?
Speaker 1: Oh, mayonnaise?
Speaker 2: Wow, yes, boldly mayonnaise. Yes, me too. I'm I would
Speaker 2: be more embarrassed to say that than you because there's
Speaker 2: a whole lot of discrimination against mayonnaise.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not embarrassed to say it at all because
Speaker 1: the reason it's my favorite is that I make it
Speaker 1: into other things. So whether I now I'm particular about it,
Speaker 1: I will say, and I don't mind giving them a
Speaker 1: free advertiser, but Hellman's or Best Foods, mayonnaise is the
Speaker 1: only kind that I will actually eat much.
Speaker 2: It's weird that one company has two names it likes
Speaker 2: split me. Yeah, Hartis and Carls Junior are the same way.
Speaker 1: I don't understand that. Yeah, that's a business thing, so
Speaker 1: flat out maynaise, mayonnaise no, no, Yeah, I might mix
Speaker 1: something into it or you know whatever. But yeah, it's
Speaker 1: versatile and amazing.
Speaker 2: Good. See knowing you, I know you're a healthy eater
Speaker 2: and I know you're a vegetarian. So the fact that
Speaker 2: you said mayonnaise, I'm like, Oh, there's hope that she's
Speaker 2: going to eat that taste good, there's fat in there. Good. Okay,
Speaker 2: Number eight, I don't want to know your middle name.
Speaker 2: I want to know your middle name if you could
Speaker 2: choose it yourself.
Speaker 1: Hmm okay, ummm, let's see. Gosh, it's funny you should
Speaker 1: ask that because you know what, somebody actually gave me
Speaker 1: a middle name yesterday, because very precious. Do you know
Speaker 1: why in real life I don't have a middle name.
Speaker 2: That's a little dicey to go through life with no
Speaker 2: middle name, because when they're like sat like everybody sit
Speaker 2: down and fill up the little bubble, and you have
Speaker 2: to like, did you fake it or did you just know?
Speaker 1: When you don't have a middle name, your middle name
Speaker 1: is x X for yeah, for like legal reasons they
Speaker 1: need three three letters. X is always your middle name
Speaker 1: if you don't have one. So yeah, so I guess
Speaker 1: technically speaking, my middle name would be X.
Speaker 2: But okay, so what is the one you would choose that?
Speaker 2: Apparently you were just thinking about this yesterday.
Speaker 1: Yeah, somebody gave me one yesterday. I think it was
Speaker 1: something like Laurel I. It was real pretty, it almost
Speaker 1: said it was like lyrical and almost sounded.
Speaker 2: Like miracle would be a wonderful name.
Speaker 1: Preak goddess of some kind. It was yeah, pleasant, I
Speaker 1: like that pleasant. Could I have that one?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Okay, okay, my middle name is pleasant.
Speaker 1: My middle name is pleasant.
Speaker 2: I love it. Okay, I love it.
Speaker 1: Thank you for that.
Speaker 2: Okay, there's a two part question.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: Valentine's Day or Halloween.
Speaker 1: Oh, Valentine's Day?
Speaker 2: Oh, no, thoughts about it?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Whatsoever?
Speaker 2: Memorial Day weekend or Labor Day weekend?
Speaker 1: Memorial Day?
Speaker 2: Why?
Speaker 1: Because I think it's a it's a calmer weekend. I
Speaker 1: think that people are are more thoughtful and it's more
Speaker 1: about family time and being together. For some reason, I
Speaker 1: think of Labor Day as being a drinking holiday.
Speaker 2: I don't know. See like I've heard Labor Day because
Speaker 2: it means summer's over and it's the start of fall.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, that's me. Memorial Day a lot of people
Speaker 2: means that it kicks off summer. It's good. So your
Speaker 2: Memorial Day, I'm Labor Day, you're Valentine's Day, and I'm
Speaker 2: probably Valentine's tattoo. Okay. Number ten, Would you like to
Speaker 2: see a dessert menu?
Speaker 1: Absolutely? Bring it on over.
Speaker 2: Number eleven. If I went into your closet, how many
Speaker 2: hats do you own?
Speaker 1: I believe I have about ten?
Speaker 2: Ten hats. Yes, wow, the mad Hatter hats? Are they all?
Speaker 2: Are they baseball hats? Are they all kinds of hats?
Speaker 1: They're mostly they're baseball hats. Yeah. I have some knit
Speaker 1: caps that my niece made for me because she's a
Speaker 1: brilliant knitter. She's a fiber artist. But I also have
Speaker 1: baseball caps. I love caps.
Speaker 2: Okay, number twelve, give me either your best celebrity impression
Speaker 2: or say, I would like to order a hot chocolate please,
Speaker 2: in an accent other than your own. So you have
Speaker 2: a choice here.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. Okay, let's see.
Speaker 2: So it's a celebrity. Okay, I would like to order
Speaker 2: a hot chocolate please and an accent other than your own.
Speaker 1: Um, okay, let's see. Uh do I should I tell
Speaker 1: you the celebrity first in case I'm not very good
Speaker 1: at it.
Speaker 2: No, we're gonna guess it. So you're choosing the celebrity,
Speaker 2: all right, let's hear it.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know, because you know, I don't really
Speaker 1: have that many friends, and I love my friends, but
Speaker 1: you know how it is when you're.
Speaker 2: Just Jennifer Aniston. Yes, secret Jennifer Aniston impression. Oh my god.
Speaker 2: I know people who do professional Jennifer Anison impression. So
Speaker 2: that's not good. That was exceptional.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 2: How often do you work on that?
Speaker 1: Not very often.
Speaker 2: I have an impression I call sex in the City.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, back in Miranda's it's every line of every episode
Speaker 2: of Sex in the City. Yeah, that's wow. You chose
Speaker 2: the harder of the two. If you're asking some of
Speaker 2: these questions and they pull out a secret Jennifer Aniston
Speaker 2: impression that you've never heard, you're going to be in
Speaker 2: love with that person. So don't you question my questions.
Speaker 2: Keiko's whole revaluing her whole life. She's going to be
Speaker 2: a Jennifer Aniston impression. Okay. Question number thirteen, which relative
Speaker 2: do you not want to be stuck next to a
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving dinner?
Speaker 1: Oh? Wow, that's uh, that's a really good one. Let
Speaker 1: me think about that.
Speaker 2: Pick one that doesn't listen.
Speaker 1: Oh goodness, Okay. I have a very weird family, But
Speaker 1: not because I wouldn't want to sit next to them.
Speaker 1: The truth is because I really adore them. They're so wonderful.
Speaker 1: I would be so excited to sit next to any
Speaker 1: of any of them. I'm not kidding you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that sounds very boring.
Speaker 1: I know that sounds od.
Speaker 2: I'm putting that done as a pass. Okay, you can't
Speaker 2: lame answer.
Speaker 1: I know it's so lame, but but you know why.
Speaker 1: It's because most of my family lives on the East Coast. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so I don't get to see them often enough.
Speaker 1: Maybe if I hung out with them, they would drive
Speaker 1: me crazy or something.
Speaker 2: But she want to sit next to your mother?
Speaker 1: But uh, yeah, that'd be all right. I don't I
Speaker 1: don't get to hang with her very much.
Speaker 2: So no, okay, answer. It tells me a little bit
Speaker 2: about your family. All awesome.
Speaker 1: Yeah, good.
Speaker 2: But if a guy's dating you, they would be like,
Speaker 2: are you kidding me? I can't believe you sent me
Speaker 2: next to your uncle Lou. He's so terrible. No, oh no,
Speaker 2: no terrible. No.
Speaker 1: My family is so kind to everybody that comes to
Speaker 1: the house.
Speaker 2: There you go. Okay, Question fourteen. Yeah, would you rather
Speaker 2: have a fifty dollars bill or fifty ones?
Speaker 1: Fifty ones?
Speaker 2: Oh? Really? Why?
Speaker 1: I just think that people who use large bills or jerks.
Speaker 2: That tells me a whole lot about it. I see,
Speaker 2: I think I'd rather have a fifty dollars bill, probably
Speaker 2: because I'm a jerk, but mostly because I think that
Speaker 2: I'm less likely to spend the fifty as quickly. I
Speaker 2: think if I have fifty ones, they're going to go
Speaker 2: like confetti. If I have that fifty dollars bill because
Speaker 2: of people like you, I don't. I'm a reluctant to
Speaker 2: pull it out. People are going to mak change. I
Speaker 2: think it's gonna last longer. So I'm a little more
Speaker 2: frugal with my fifty dollars bill.
Speaker 1: That's very interesting. Well, you know, this is an interesting
Speaker 1: question because I wasn't thinking of it from that point
Speaker 1: of view at all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't judge how you think about it. Mark,
Speaker 2: what's your answer you, Yeah, No.
Speaker 1: I like the I like the fifty ones because maybe
Speaker 1: for the opposite reason, because they're easy to spend, but
Speaker 1: because it's not a problem for other people. It's not
Speaker 1: a problem for a shopkeeper. If I have a one,
Speaker 1: I can get on a bus if I had, you know,
Speaker 1: I just think once I can give it to a
Speaker 1: homeless person.
Speaker 2: The ones I want to look at home say sorry,
Speaker 2: I've only got big bills.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I want to give.
Speaker 2: Them the one I tried that now I really want
Speaker 2: to do. Yeah, you want to only got you got
Speaker 2: a few bucks? I only got large bills.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, oh, that's terrible. It is a terrible jerk.
Speaker 2: It's honest, but I do only have large bills.
Speaker 1: It's terrible, fault, terrible. You want to give a one
Speaker 1: to a busker on the street, I mean, all the
Speaker 1: ones are really you know. You know what my sister does.
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you this when she she uses
Speaker 1: one dollar bills and five dollar bills as bookmarks in
Speaker 1: her books, and then when she returns them to the library,
Speaker 1: she'll like put it in there when she returns the book,
Speaker 1: and whoever finds it is going to be so happy
Speaker 1: finding a dollar.
Speaker 2: I mean, it seems like what a rich person would know.
Speaker 1: She's not rich either, but it's just like to bring
Speaker 1: a little bit of joy to somebody's day. I mean,
Speaker 1: is a lovely thing to do. And wonder I want
Speaker 1: the suchift, easy way to do that. I want I
Speaker 1: want a big one.
Speaker 2: You like you came back from the club and you
Speaker 2: got and you want to make it rain with a
Speaker 2: bunch of ones. Okay, yeah, I want the fifty. Do
Speaker 2: you know who's on the fifty? Who do you have
Speaker 2: any guesses.
Speaker 1: I don't as antis.
Speaker 2: This is not one of the Jackson on the five.
Speaker 2: If one of the twenty three questions is who's on
Speaker 2: the fifty dollar bill, she's going to dump you, So
Speaker 2: don't ask that sidebar as a Brian Howie questioned, who
Speaker 2: is your guest?
Speaker 1: Andrew Jackson is ulysses uh.
Speaker 2: Grant.
Speaker 1: Oh, Grant is.
Speaker 2: On the fifty Grant is on the fifteen.
Speaker 1: I did not know that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, fun fact I didn't from the baby okay. Question
Speaker 2: fifteen okay, for one year as your car, would you
Speaker 2: rather drive a hearse or a smart car?
Speaker 1: A smart car?
Speaker 2: Just flat out yeah, even though you don't like to
Speaker 2: feel safe in a little little, tiny freak car that's
Speaker 2: like a golf cart. Yeah, no hearse for you. No
Speaker 2: herse too creepy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just you know what, I'm going to get
Speaker 1: my turn in the hearse someday.
Speaker 2: You're like, I'll ride in the back. I won't ride
Speaker 2: in the will wait. Yes, fair enough on that macabre note.
Speaker 2: Question sixteen, what animal are you most afraid of?
Speaker 1: Oh? My goodness, okay, so I am afraid of those
Speaker 1: nasty monkeys that they have.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hate the scientific term the nasty monkeys.
Speaker 1: You know, it might just be like brown monkeys or
Speaker 1: something like that, but they are. There are wild monkeys
Speaker 1: that are all over the place in a number of
Speaker 1: the countries that I have frequented, like, for example, Thailand
Speaker 1: has got tons of wild monkeys all over dragons. India
Speaker 1: also tons of wild monkeys, and they're they're mean. And
Speaker 1: I went to Malaysia recently and there were tons of
Speaker 1: wild monkeys there and and it's so weird because the
Speaker 1: tourists all go, oh, cute monkey, and they want to
Speaker 1: go up to them and play with them. I have
Speaker 1: a friend who got attacked by five of those monkeys.
Speaker 1: They attack each other, you can tell by looking at them.
Speaker 1: Giant teeth, giant claws.
Speaker 2: They are all over the animal kingdom. The attack monkey,
Speaker 2: the attack monkeys.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's it. I'm good with everything else, a kimodos.
Speaker 1: I'm good.
Speaker 2: Interesting.
Speaker 1: I stay out of their way, But the monkeys, they
Speaker 1: will come and get you.
Speaker 2: Question sixteen. Yeah, and I've asked this in our live
Speaker 2: show a few times and I always get the certain answer.
Speaker 2: But jailhouse weapon of choice, a lock in a sock
Speaker 2: or a shive.
Speaker 1: Oh gully, Okay, So I believe that my answer on
Speaker 1: that is going to be an I'm mean, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: change my answer.
Speaker 2: I just what the other times in life you've thought
Speaker 2: about this. When you're working on under Jennifer Anistony impression,
Speaker 2: you sometimes think about your jail house weapon show.
Speaker 1: No. I just I went back and forth like ten
Speaker 1: times in my head real fast while while you were
Speaker 1: waiting for my answer. And at first I thought it
Speaker 1: was going to be the lock in the sock. But
Speaker 1: I don't think that I could stop someone with a
Speaker 1: lock in a sock. I think I could only senerate.
Speaker 2: You couldn't swing it hard, and I don't think so.
Speaker 1: But I think with the shive I could. I'm really small,
Speaker 1: I'm short, so I could stab him in the leg
Speaker 1: and then run away.
Speaker 2: See that tells me something about you that you're using
Speaker 2: to stab them in the leg as opposed to the
Speaker 2: heart or somewhere for some vital organ. You don't want
Speaker 2: to kill them, you just want to debilitate them. That's correct.
Speaker 1: I can't run away.
Speaker 2: Good answer tells me a lot about you. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: Question eighteen, yep, how much money to give up your
Speaker 2: pinky toe?
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, so to go with.
Speaker 2: To go with just nine? What's the what's how big
Speaker 2: a check do I have to give you?
Speaker 1: I just is there is there a no on this.
Speaker 2: Answer that there's no amount of money. I think you're
Speaker 2: lying if you say that I said, here's a billion dollars,
Speaker 2: you would be fine with nine. You don't care about
Speaker 2: the q chooes.
Speaker 1: I thought of that confession question. I can't, I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't how much? And it's not just cut off,
Speaker 2: it's surgically there's an antistition an esthetician involved.
Speaker 1: Do you mean you mean you can like have it properly?
Speaker 2: How much I'm buying your pinky toe? How much?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: What's the price? What's the price for that little thingny.
Speaker 1: Ah, golly doy, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Ten million dollars reasonable answer? She went from no price
Speaker 2: dropped to a reasonable amount of money, ten million dollars.
Speaker 2: I don't think you would hobble. I don't think you
Speaker 2: would hobble.
Speaker 1: Well, that's why I had to go through.
Speaker 2: You would hobble with it. So you'll go with nine
Speaker 2: for ten million for eight figures. That's your price on
Speaker 2: your nine digits for eight figures.
Speaker 1: That's what we're going with there, can I go with
Speaker 1: one hundred million?
Speaker 2: No, you said ten. And I guarantee you if I
Speaker 2: laid out a briefcase of.
Speaker 1: A million, now a million, you can't get anything for
Speaker 1: a million. Ten For ten, I can do a lot
Speaker 1: of good in the world that my toe is going
Speaker 1: to do less good in the world.
Speaker 2: There you go, there you go.
Speaker 1: Question answer, Yeah, that would be my reason.
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, She's like, I'm judging more of the questions
Speaker 2: than the answers, but yeah, are good. Okay. Question nineteen.

Speaker 2: life that you are embarrassed to admit?

Speaker 2: because that's common.
Speaker 1: Well, I am Brad Pitt is probably common too.
Speaker 2: Embarrassed to admit anytime from zero to now, child teen,
Speaker 2: yesterday when you were working on your Jennifer andis impression anything?

Speaker 1: I guess I believe you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have no answer.
Speaker 1: Well, well I already said Brad Pitt is my celebrity crush.
Speaker 1: But I'm not embarrassed to admit it. I don't know
Speaker 1: who i'd be embarrassed to admit. I mean, I mean,
Speaker 1: I like hot guys like Marie Osmond. Well she was,
Speaker 1: she was. She's an attractive you know when like last year,
Speaker 1: you mean, or like probably when you're a teenager.
Speaker 2: Well now no, now it's Elizabeth Vargas.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Elizabeth Vargus.
Speaker 2: It's interesting, I know. Yeah, and you know she's out
Speaker 2: of the she's sober.
Speaker 1: Yeah much.
Speaker 2: But that was always my thing. When people like that's weird.
Speaker 1: Well, now it's gonna sound like I'm copying off your paper,
Speaker 1: but I guess Donnie Osmond okay Osmond, Yeah, I always
Speaker 1: thought that he was super cute and yeah, just over
Speaker 1: the years, I just always really had a thing for
Speaker 1: that Donny Osmond.
Speaker 2: There you go, there you do. We got somewhere I know.
Speaker 1: But you have to pull it out of me.
Speaker 2: Thanks. Conversation, right, it's a conversation, that's it. Okay. Number twenty,
Speaker 2: we're playing Monopoly. Which piece are you playing?
Speaker 1: The top hat?
Speaker 2: The top hat? Yeah, I thought you'd be more of
Speaker 2: a thimble person.
Speaker 1: No, by the top hat because it doesn't.
Speaker 2: Fall over, so you don't want your piece.
Speaker 1: I don't want it to fall over. And it's fancy.
Speaker 1: Oh and I feel like Monopoly is kind of like
Speaker 1: a fancy game.
Speaker 2: So you think that the fancier the iron is not
Speaker 2: likely to land on park place? Right.
Speaker 1: I feel like if I'm wearing the top hat, ju,
Speaker 1: it's good juju that maybe I'm going to get the
Speaker 1: park place.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, interesting answer, yeah, Okay. Number twenty one, Okay,
Speaker 2: what is the most important invention of all time?
Speaker 1: Hmm, that's interesting. Uh, what comes to mind for me. Oddly,
Speaker 1: I have no idea, but it popped in my head.
Speaker 1: Whereas the aqueducts in Rome, Yeah, that was a really
Speaker 1: important invention because I think water is the most important thing.
Speaker 2: On the age. I would say running water.
Speaker 1: Running water, and the aqueducts.
Speaker 2: Them to harness a water.
Speaker 1: Supply exactly so that I agree with that.
Speaker 2: Really, yes, that's exactly the answer I would have. I
Speaker 2: wouldn't have been so wise to actually say aqueduct, but
Speaker 2: I would have said running water and same thing indoor plumbing,
Speaker 2: and that all stems from the aqueduct. So I, yes,
Speaker 2: I think that is. Anybody else has a different answer
Speaker 2: out there. I think you're wrong, and I'm gonna argue
Speaker 2: to death on and why they everything starts with water?
Speaker 1: Well, I think we have in common water charities as.
Speaker 2: Well, right, Yeah, I think the only charity should be
Speaker 2: donating to is water. Water.
Speaker 1: Water. Everything starts with water. Water solves all the problems.
Speaker 1: It's it's all about the water here.
Speaker 2: That my college. I'm not donating to you. I'm donating
Speaker 2: the water to water charities. Okay, number twenty two, yep,
Speaker 2: give me something that you do think or believe that
Speaker 2: it best could be considered quirky, and it worst would
Speaker 2: be considered insane about myself.
Speaker 1: Like something I like to do, I believe or think
Speaker 1: something quirky or nuts. I do that thing.
Speaker 2: Any of the crazy monkeys talk to you?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, it's it's way. It's more docile than that.
Speaker 1: But it is something that I cannot seem to get
Speaker 1: away from. And that is that that pinch of salt thing.
Speaker 1: You know when you when you spill some salt and
Speaker 1: you have to take your right hand and throw a
Speaker 1: pinch of it over your left shoulder. I just feel
Speaker 1: like my whole life is going to fall apart.
Speaker 2: That's your superstitt, is it? I just step on a
Speaker 2: crack that. Oh yeah, that's we go under a ladder?
Speaker 2: What will you walk under a ladder? I prefer not to, okay,
Speaker 2: But the salt is no chance.
Speaker 1: Salt is something I can't get away from. I mean,
Speaker 1: if if I spilled some salt and I were in
Speaker 1: a hurry and I ran out to the car, I'm
Speaker 1: telling you, I would feel like I needed to run
Speaker 1: back in the house, grab a pench and with my
Speaker 1: right hand throw it over my left shoulder and then
Speaker 1: run back out to the car. I do not know why.
Speaker 2: Wow, that is somewhere between quirky and.
Speaker 1: And sick, it is, right, Yeah, yeah, you're.
Speaker 2: Basically throwing salt on the floor.
Speaker 1: On the floor.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it. You would do that in your own home. Yes, okay, yeah, interesting,
Speaker 2: there you go. All right, last question number twenty three. Okay,
Speaker 2: we are turning your memoir into a movie. What genre
Speaker 2: would it fall into? What would it be rated? And
Speaker 2: what would it be called?
Speaker 1: Let's see. Okay, so my movie would for sure be
Speaker 1: a documentary. I'm sorry, that's no fun.
Speaker 2: No, documentary is not eligible. I'm banning that because we're
Speaker 2: turning into a movie and it's starring actress and things.
Speaker 2: So I'm not asking who would play you. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: asking what genre would it be?
Speaker 1: So? Oh, I wanted it to be a documentary starring
Speaker 1: Jennifer anistid she.
Speaker 2: Doesn't star in documentaries unless Jennifer Andison's story. She could
Speaker 2: host it. Okay, now we're getting somewhere, so you want
Speaker 2: to Okay, so you want to a documentary hosted documentary
Speaker 2: by Jennifer Aniston. Yeah, so documentaries are generally not rated,
Speaker 2: but they're going to rate one. What would it be
Speaker 2: g G Of course it would be my G rated
Speaker 2: documentary hosted by Is this animated? Is it animated? It
Speaker 2: is a cartoon? Her G rated animated documentary hosted by

Speaker 2: with Jennifer Aston hosting a segment and you're in a
Speaker 2: different country doing a Jennifer Aniston impression for crazy monkeys,
Speaker 2: There's a lot going there. I wonder I think Jennifer
Speaker 2: Aniston would like to get Jennifer Aniston on the phone.
Speaker 2: And there you go, And that is your twenty three
Speaker 2: questions that matter. And if you don't think they matter,
Speaker 2: you pull these babies out on a date or you
Speaker 2: with your girlfriend or boyfriend and try them out and
Speaker 2: you will have a really, really good time.
Speaker 1: Can I just say that I haven't laughed as much,
Speaker 1: you know, one stretch in the longest time. Really, this
Speaker 1: was so much fun, right, great question to do this hilarious.
Speaker 2: Questions lead to uh, curiosity and banter. It tolls. It
Speaker 2: gives me a far look into your brain and me
Speaker 2: and anything else than what's your favorite call? Then? Who
Speaker 2: are your three dream dinner guests? Like, I don't want
Speaker 2: to hear that. Okay, those are dumb questions, so I

Speaker 2: have them handy for you singer after animal dont but
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you everbody an opportunity to share these
Speaker 2: with the world because we've got to stop that thirty
Speaker 2: stupid thirty six questions, because these are the twenty three
Speaker 2: questions that matter. And if you can make each other
Speaker 2: laugh and really poke at each other's questions, and you
Speaker 2: only used one pass I think I think you only
Speaker 2: used one because you didn't have an.
Speaker 1: Answer, right, Yeah, And then I think I thought of
Speaker 1: the answer way later and I wasn't able to say
Speaker 1: it because I missed my chance.
Speaker 2: Right, But these are turning your You're turning each other's brains. Yeah,
Speaker 2: So these are the questions. This was the exercise.
Speaker 1: Yes, I didn't feel on the spot. I felt like
Speaker 1: we were having fun because these.
Speaker 2: Are questions that you do have an answer to, and
Speaker 2: the stakes are not right, is wrong, but even your
Speaker 2: guesses turn out.
Speaker 1: To be something we can both laugh about it and.
Speaker 2: Shows vulnerability and answering. This shows that you apparently have
Speaker 2: a really wonderful family and you definitely want the dessert menu.
