And now I'm like, no, that's not. |
| 2:08.6 | Right. It's the understated little things that we love. And if I remember correctly, you're an Aquarius. |
| 2:17.6 | I am. Oh my gosh, Lindsay. I know. I have a crazy memory for Zodiac signs. And the last time you're on the pod, you hadn't met your now boyfriend. |
