There are two types of people: those who need to feel connected before having sex, and those that need to have sex in order to feel connected.

1:00.8 | Oh. |
1:02.6 | Our pre-recording ritual of Zander dancing really took a turn today. There was a new move that was |
1:09.2 | added. Oh, it's kind of an aerial butt shake. It's like a butt rotation. |
