I actually had the pleasure of having dinner with Richard Kind (who played the hypochondriac) about 16 years ago. His company was very enjoyable; such a friendly person.
Always enjoy a good scrubs reaction. While I unfortunately don’t have any suggestions, I won’t ever ignore any of these type of videos. Keep up the fun scrubs reactions, Doctor!
I can so relate to the lying thing. I'm a truck driver and I have a bad right knee and a bad left shoulder. Opening the curtains on the truck and lifting things above parallel hurts my shoulder but I deal with it. Same with the knee when I climb into the truck. I know there's something pretty wrong with both but I can't afford any time off work. There's little point getting them checked out because doing anything about it will cause me to need time off work. So I hide it from my employer and (shameful admission here) I never go see my GP unless I'm really in trouble. I don't even really have a GP. Haven't been to see a doctor in years.
The cox/carla relationship dynamic isnt a superior/inferior one, he was expecting her to help him there because they dated long ago and are longtime close personal friends. Just like Elliot earlier in the show, he was expecting a friend in that situation
I don't think it was about the time, that they dated. But it was about the dynamic of their friendship. And it has to be said: The Carla Cox team just works. And I think in this little Interaktion we we get a little glimps why it works.
On the merits, Jess is right on the Cox/Karla interaction. It simply isn't the job of anyone else to police your actions. Stipulated. However, I would toss something out there. If you have established (for years!) a division of responsibilities between two "partners" for lack of a better way of phrasing it, then Dr. Cox's viewpoint makes more sense. In a way, it is a little like good cop/bad cop. Or if you prefer, thesis/antithesis. If her job (in the relationship and/or work dynamic) was to let him know when he was going to far or being unreasonable then it is very likely he had come to rely upon that. Not unlike the dynamic between House and Cuddy. (Or House and some of his subordinate doctors.) He's presenting a particular point of view and expecting that to be tested by smart, capable people around him. (Jess notes this almost immediately afterward.)
11:39 I think Cox knows what hes saying is absurd, I think context of what hes saying is just pretense to bring up the realization of his own complacency as organically as his personality would allow. Hes not the normally contrite type, the subtext is key in this scene.
@@JessTheMD I didn't know that. See, if you came to Australia on a vacation and we were to binge watch scrubs, you could have taught me things like that...
Hello, there! A fellow Scrubs fan here. I just found your channel and watched every Scrubs reaction video that you uploaded (yes, I'm that obsessed. Go ahead, judge me) I have some personal favorite episodes, mostly because I got some lesson that resonated with my own life there. that I recommend to you are: 1. S01E08 - My Fifteen Minutes: I love the speech from Dr. Cox 2. S03E12 - My Catalyst: I love the speech from Dr. Casey (Michael J. Fox guest appearance) 3. S04E20 - My Boss' Free Haircut: I love the speech from Dr. Kelso 5. S05E04 - My Jiggly Ball: From this episode onward, my respect for Dr. Kelso grow deeper 6. S06E14 - My No Good Reason: I love the speech from Nurse Laverne And honorable mention here: S05E03 - My Day at the Races: I got some kind of quarter life crisis back then and this episode resonated a lot with me S06E06 - My Musical: "We're Gonna Miss You Carla" and "For The Last Time I'm Dominican" are my favorite S08E15 - My Soul On Fire Part 2: Love "Hey Ya" cover by Ted's band here
Thank you so much for all the recommendations!!! Actually, “my jiggly ball” is coming soon! I already filmed that one and am editing it 😊 I’ll note the others too!
Enjoyed the react, and it puts a nice spin on it when it's a Dr watching. Couldn't agree more about losing the personal items. Our house was in a flood when I was 19, and I basically lost everything from my childhood. Pictures, cards, toys, films, family heirlooms, etc. Yes, this was the late 70s-early 80s when people still made actual home movies on actual film lol. I still think about the parts of my family and I that just floated away that day.
Thank you so so much!! I appreciate the support 💕💕 if there are any things you’d like me to react to/discuss from a medical (but fun and entertaining) perspective, let me know! 😊
This was great thank you! I was so happy to get off night shift and find a scrubs dvd from Netflix in the mailbox. So captured the pathos of the hospital, and honestly felt pretty accurate . On of the DVDs had bonus content with an interview with two doctors who served as consultants for accuracy which may account for some of the accurate content.
Ahhh that certainly makes a lot of sense! I have a vague memory of hearing something like that years ago, I think! I definitely appreciate that… watching a lot of the medical dramas that clearly have/had no medical professionals on staff sometimes is just laughable 😅😅😅 you’re just like “what…. is… going… on….?”
IAD: I had the dubious advantage of having two severe medical issues in less than a year in my early teens. As an adult, I take almost anything in stride, because there's not much worse than having a tropical parasite while living in a place that's so poor the nurses turn off the lights and go home at night. re: Everybody lies. This is a big problem in psychology where so much information has to be gathered from questionnaires and interviews. It's led to some interesting ways of collecting info, but also means that almost every study has this big grey area. * Love your analysis!
Was diagnosed with epilepsy at 5, on phenobarbital until 14, then taken off medication, seizure free since '83. Over the road trucker and required to renew federal medical card yearly instead of every three years.
I have listen to the extra content on the season DVD’s and that many of the ideas for the medical drama comes from the consulting doctors own weird experiences. As a suggestion to react to, my favorite is the “My Musical” episode which ends on a good note and is just fun cause everyone sings and they have some talent there and just another note is the extras on the actual DVD’s to Scrubs are enjoyable especially for the “My Musical “ episode which I think is in the 6th season.
Haha thank you so much for the recommendation! I actually just did that reaction! Check it out here if you’re so inclined 😉 th-cam.com/video/TfaEEQ-X6Ts/w-d-xo.html
Oh wow I'd forgotten about this episode with the hypochondriac who was genuinely ill. As a first responder here in the UK I'm remembering someone right now, and it doesn't matter if it's the 1st or 50th or 500th time they've called for help, THIS TIME might be the one time when they're truly in need, you have to attend the call with an open mind, you can't have the mindset of "oh it's [this person] again, wasting my time ... !" Much as I admire Cox's dedication to positive patient outcomes (genuinely, the character is my role model) I'm kinda glad that the patient gave him a telling off.
Honestly, scrubs was known as a sitcom that really got at people's emotions. So many shows were all about impossibly happy lives and issues always being resolved by the end of a two parter at worst. This one was groundbreaking for its time. But if you want happy episodes, look at My Way Home, My Best Moment, and the one I can't remember the name of with all the sesame street characters.
11:50 u r right, that it is not Carlas Job to police Cox and Carla is right to push back against it BUT I still think he did the right thing in that moment. in that he recognized a change in the dynamic in there friendship and he talks about it with Carla right away, so they can figure out what is going on together rather than trying to figure it out on his own.
I do recall my grandmother... 94 years old, at home had a fainting spell... afterwards, the doctors had DMV pull her license, in case she had one while driving... Oh, was she pissed - 80 years of having a license (back then, you could get one at 14), never an accident or ticket. It may have been a safe thing to do, but man, she was so unhappy after that.
I also have massive hypochondria and I hate it. I hate how every small symptom can terrify me. I hate how I have panic attacks in the middle of the night because I had a symptom and just HAD to google it. I hate how it affects me.
@@JessTheMD Thanks for understanding. I hate having this. You know whats the worst thing? I'm scared of seeing a doctor because the only thing I'm scared of more than the actual illness is the diagnosis. The possibilty that I could be right.
"Dudes don't get it a lot of the time, do they" One thing that was pointed out to me when I took a Psych of Close Relationships course was that, the benefits women typically get from friendships, men are taught to seek only from a romantic partner. This is part of what leads some men into thinking friendship with women is romantic, although there's obviously a whole culture built around that particular type of misinterpretation.
In my experience and out of everyone i have ever known inside the USA and out. In the military and out. Over decades i have found your Wife or GF will not be ok with you having a BFF who is a women. I have never known men and women being BFF only no other feelings at all... Regardless wither you act or not the feelings are right there.
I remember a comedian had this to say about doctor's attitudes to hypochondriacs. "The love us because we pay for their sports cars, but hate us because we never leave them enough time to drive them." :D
@JessTheMD Yea I noticed it with everyone. Was a little harder to tell with the females but it was easier to tell with Cox, J.D., Kelso and Turk. I thought Maybe you were editing it for some sort of copyright reason or something lol
I have to say in my case, I have autism, live in a tent and work as an professor. I have nothing I feel worth saving. But my memory is in pictures so I save everything in my mind
Honestly I do not lie to my doctor at all. I lay it all right out on the table. They can't make an informed decision or create a plan of action that may succeed if they don't know the enemy.
Ooof, that guy (Richard Kind, great as always) wanting to do a bone marrow biopsy is just so... ouch. I've had three bone marrow biopsies - they are incredibly painful - no idea how he is sitting there in no pain (or at least not drugged up). Bone marrow biopsies *really* hurt - that could be because I was a dry tap for two of them (and just a little dribble of aspirate for the third) or that I have a low pain threshold, but yeah. I don't know how much experience you have with BMBs in your everyday practice, but if you have a patient who is going to get one, tell them to ask their doctor for anxiety meds or pain killers beforehand to either have the anxiolytic effect or to make things a bit nice and loopy going into it so nothing is really felt (or at least cared about) until the core sample. There's also the option of a patient being sedated for a bone marrow biopsy (twilight sedation). If I ever need another one, I am going to insist on sedated. So that is also an option for any of your patients (It's typically done that way for children from the state, then presented as an option for adults if they realllllly do not do well with ones when awake). Richard Kind fact: I've heard he is an *amazing* guy - i've talked to someone who worked with him and they said he is incredibly kind and just a wonderful man.
Being diagnosed with health anxiety can be lethal. I've had my diagnosis for less than a year, but already been dismissed so many times at my physician since that. Every time, it turns out something has been wrong, and I've gotten three more diagnoses since then. They read "hypochondria" on the chart and immediately think of this dude from the beginning of the episode. No, I've had therapy for this, I know how to shut out that voice telling me "you're dying" and keep myself from being in perpetual fight-or-flight. That's not it. I'm coming to the physician because I KNOW something is wrong. I got physical symptoms I can point to. But a piece of paper says something that most people only experience through American comedy shows, so it's hard to get anyone to listen...
Does anyone else think that Dr. Jess has very friendly-looking teeth? It might sound weird, but every time she smiles, her teeth look like the most friendly part of her...
If you're looking for a SCRUBS to react to: Season 1 Episode 4 My Old Lady - This set the pace for the show Season 1 Episode 7 My Super Ego - How do you deal with someone who is just better than you? Season 1 Episode 8 My Fifteen Minutes - You have to stay to the end Season 1 Episode 11 My Own Personal Jesus - worth it just to see JD at a bible revival Season 1 Episode 17 My Tuscaloosa Heart - Again you have to stay till the end
I wonder if there's a proper antonym for hypochondria. Hyperchondria? Idk, but if there is that's what I've been blessed with. I underplay any symptoms I experience because I hardly ever get sick and my injuries heal remarkably quick so I just kept writing off my worsening bouts of stabbing chest pain and sudden shortness of breath as work or stress related for months and even years until I finally went in for a long overdue echo(I have Marfan Syndrome and hadn't had one in 5-6 years) only to find out nope, it's an aortic aneurism and I need open heart surgery asap. To my credit I was out of the hospital in 5 days and back to working 2 jobs after only two months so I wasn't lying about the fast healing but yeah, listen to your body folks. It's probably better to be someone who jumps the gun on any little biological oddity than someone who disregards blatant red flags out of pride and I've got the zipper scar and mechanical heart to prove it lol.
Wowza! I’ve definitely seen both ends of the spectrum and everything in between! It’s hard to find the healthy balance (pun intended 🙈😝). But definitely better safe than sorry, right?!
I think JD still has a lot of dimensions and there was more at play than just how he was acting with Elliott in this particular episode. Though, yes - I agree. JD was a huge jerk for pretty much the entirety of this episode, right up until the end 😊
I've never understood why people lie to their doctors... You wouldn't lie to your mechanic, Why would you lie to your doctor? Their job is to fix you not judge you.
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯!!!!!!! And I can’t fix anything if I don’t know what the actual problem is! But here is where my job is very important - it’s not only my job to fix the issue, but firstly - it’s my job to make my patients feel comfortable and safe enough to not feel like they need to lie to me about anything. Once we’ve establish a good and trusting doctor patient relationship, then we can manage health issues together 😊
Dont be quick to judge JD. No doubt,he definitely acted like a jerk in front of his very close friend. But you need to watch the previous two episodes to really understand why he behaved like that. Elliott is also messedup and sometimes plays with JD's emotions and takes advantage of his stupidity and immaturity. So dont judge too quickly. But I agree ,he should have handled the issue with little more sensitivity, though he does it eventually at the end, but hey if he did that then it wouldnt be a tv show.
I totally get that - and definitely didn't think about that 😝 Yes, both JD and Elliott are flawed (as are we all honestly 😝)... And she definitely messes with JD's emotions a LOT during this show! 😊 I think, at the end of the day, we are all working on ourselves and trying to be our best selves 😊
@@JessTheMD wow.. I didn't expect that quick a response from an old video. Thanks. On a serious note, your videos are very very good. To hear an actual doctor's perspective on these shows is really fantastic. And if you speak to your patients the way you are speaking here in these videos , then they are absolutely lucky. 😀😀😀 Could you please do a reaction video on the season 1 scrubs episode named "My two Dads"? It discusses a very important issue regarding patient care and I would like to hear your opinion about that dilemma in the hospital. Some of my friends are doctors in Connecticut and North Carolina USA and they have great insights into the episode and l would like to know your opinion on this , if possible. Once again great videos. I am subscribing .
Thank you so much!! And thank you for the support! ❤️ I'll add it to my list! I'll never turn down a scrubs request 😝 (Even if it takes some time to actually get it filmed, edited and posted 😜)
Lol omg I'm so sorry you're dealing with that... And also so ironic. Don't you love how google/amazon/etc... They are all listening 😝 Sometimes super creepy the ads that end up popping up.... 🙈🤣
I have no idea how hypochondria is a thing in America.i mean the medical system is designed to extract as much money as possible, why would anyone intentionally add to that
Because doctors themselves are not trying to extract as much money out of people as possible - it’s insurance companies. We just want to make sure people are happy and healthy 😊
@@JessTheMD maam its doctor who series 1 episode 2 but cannot send link to for full episode from my available platforms Don't worry about the hassle..perhaps react to something else instead If you want to
Wow... Once again, sociopaths have a huge advantage over neurotypicals/ 'normals.' You guys actually have stuff that is so important to you, that losing it would cause you to -lose it- become enormously upset. That's so alien!! I can't imagine loving 'stuff' that much!!
@@JessTheMD You could be right, but as a sociopath (ASPD) I lack the depth of emotion that a normal has. So the option exists for 'normals' to care/ not care about various objects, whereas for me a flatter affect means I lack that option. There are 2 puppies and maybe 2 people who I care about enough to protect at any cost to myself, but possessions? Harumph, I say...
I don't think Mr. Corman's response to Cox was fair at all. At no point in the show has Cox _ever_ indicated that he would treat some rando off the street that way. He treated Mr. Corman like that because he was fed up with Corman coming in and taking up a bed that could have been used for someone who was actually sick. Corman is a perfect example of the boy who cried wolf. If anything, he's lucky Cox was being such an ass, because without that they may not have caught Corman's cancer until it was too late.
9:13 As a guy, could you ladies be a little more direct. We are not always sure what a woman is asking for and afraid to overstep bounds in case we misread the subtext. It is very much an acquired skill for men to pick up on it. But to be fair, Dorian is kind of an idiot

"Oh, yes sir, drugs: all the time."
I actually had the pleasure of having dinner with Richard Kind (who played the hypochondriac) about 16 years ago. His company was very enjoyable; such a friendly person.
How cool!!! I love to hear that he's a wonderful person irl 😊
@@JessTheMD Richard Kind's appearances on GIlbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast are incredible.
Always enjoy a good scrubs reaction. While I unfortunately don’t have any suggestions, I won’t ever ignore any of these type of videos. Keep up the fun scrubs reactions, Doctor!
Thank you so much! 💕 I have a lot of fun doing these reactions, so I will definitely continue 😍😍

Love it! 😊
Tell the EMTs everything and the police nothing
Kelso isn't an attending - He's the chief of medicine.
He’s both. Once you finish residency, you become an attending. Chief of medicine is an added title, but he’s still an attending physician 😊

So that is also an option for any of your patients (It's typically done that way for children from the state, then presented as an option for adults if they realllllly do not do well with ones when awake).
Richard Kind fact: I've heard he is an *amazing* guy - i've talked to someone who worked with him and they said he is incredibly kind and just a wonderful man.
Wasn't shown in video, but I think the Todd was the one who wrestled the lady for her license.
Just now catching up on your scrubs reactions because I HAVE YABBA!
LOL! This actor is iconic (the guy that plays Corman - Richard Kind)! He’s fantastic 😊
I love watching your reactions for scrubs. I just wish you had show off your dr. Jan accent
Hahaha I’ll work on implementing that accent 😝 thanks so much for the support!
His symptoms were the same my mum had right before she was diagnosed with leukemia
I'm so sorry to hear that 😔 I hope your mom is doing okay!
Being diagnosed with health anxiety can be lethal. I've had my diagnosis for less than a year, but already been dismissed so many times at my physician since that. Every time, it turns out something has been wrong, and I've gotten three more diagnoses since then.
They read "hypochondria" on the chart and immediately think of this dude from the beginning of the episode. No, I've had therapy for this, I know how to shut out that voice telling me "you're dying" and keep myself from being in perpetual fight-or-flight. That's not it. I'm coming to the physician because I KNOW something is wrong. I got physical symptoms I can point to. But a piece of paper says something that most people only experience through American comedy shows, so it's hard to get anyone to listen...
I am so sorry that this has been your experience. It's not right 😔
"Since the beginning of time, men, have been idiots." - Eric Matthews
LOL! “Life’s tough, get a helmet!” - also Eric Matthews 😅🙈
The guy allowing himself to be friend zoned was the most pathetic thing i ever saw.
I’m sorry you feel that way
Does anyone else think that Dr. Jess has very friendly-looking teeth?
It might sound weird, but every time she smiles, her teeth look like the most friendly part of her...
If you're looking for a SCRUBS to react to:
Season 1 Episode 4 My Old Lady - This set the pace for the show
Season 1 Episode 7 My Super Ego - How do you deal with someone who is just better than you?
Season 1 Episode 8 My Fifteen Minutes - You have to stay to the end
Season 1 Episode 11 My Own Personal Jesus - worth it just to see JD at a bible revival
Season 1 Episode 17 My Tuscaloosa Heart - Again you have to stay till the end
Thank you so much! On my list 😊
Pretty sure Dr. Kelso saying it came before House saying it
I wonder if there's a proper antonym for hypochondria. Hyperchondria? Idk, but if there is that's what I've been blessed with. I underplay any symptoms I experience because I hardly ever get sick and my injuries heal remarkably quick so I just kept writing off my worsening bouts of stabbing chest pain and sudden shortness of breath as work or stress related for months and even years until I finally went in for a long overdue echo(I have Marfan Syndrome and hadn't had one in 5-6 years) only to find out nope, it's an aortic aneurism and I need open heart surgery asap. To my credit I was out of the hospital in 5 days and back to working 2 jobs after only two months so I wasn't lying about the fast healing but yeah, listen to your body folks. It's probably better to be someone who jumps the gun on any little biological oddity than someone who disregards blatant red flags out of pride and I've got the zipper scar and mechanical heart to prove it lol.
Wowza! I’ve definitely seen both ends of the spectrum and everything in between! It’s hard to find the healthy balance (pun intended 🙈😝). But definitely better safe than sorry, right?!
The sad episodes are the best ones.
And they were never just friends 😂
😅 lol you’re not wrong 😝
there are more episodes with harvy corman the best is the full body scan.
Thanks! I'll add it to my list to react to 😊
Naw JD was just a jerk. The most clueless guy would have picked up on that .
I think JD still has a lot of dimensions and there was more at play than just how he was acting with Elliott in this particular episode. Though, yes - I agree. JD was a huge jerk for pretty much the entirety of this episode, right up until the end 😊
I've never understood why people lie to their doctors... You wouldn't lie to your mechanic, Why would you lie to your doctor?
Their job is to fix you not judge you.
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯!!!!!!! And I can’t fix anything if I don’t know what the actual problem is! But here is where my job is very important - it’s not only my job to fix the issue, but firstly - it’s my job to make my patients feel comfortable and safe enough to not feel like they need to lie to me about anything. Once we’ve establish a good and trusting doctor patient relationship, then we can manage health issues together 😊
Dont be quick to judge JD. No doubt,he definitely acted like a jerk in front of his very close friend. But you need to watch the previous two episodes to really understand why he behaved like that. Elliott is also messedup and sometimes plays with JD's emotions and takes advantage of his stupidity and immaturity. So dont judge too quickly. But I agree ,he should have handled the issue with little more sensitivity, though he does it eventually at the end, but hey if he did that then it wouldnt be a tv show.
I totally get that - and definitely didn't think about that 😝 Yes, both JD and Elliott are flawed (as are we all honestly 😝)... And she definitely messes with JD's emotions a LOT during this show! 😊 I think, at the end of the day, we are all working on ourselves and trying to be our best selves 😊
@@JessTheMD wow.. I didn't expect that quick a response from an old video. Thanks. On a serious note, your videos are very very good. To hear an actual doctor's perspective on these shows is really fantastic. And if you speak to your patients the way you are speaking here in these videos , then they are absolutely lucky. 😀😀😀 Could you please do a reaction video on the season 1 scrubs episode named "My two Dads"? It discusses a very important issue regarding patient care and I would like to hear your opinion about that dilemma in the hospital. Some of my friends are doctors in Connecticut and North Carolina USA and they have great insights into the episode and l would like to know your opinion on this , if possible.
Once again great videos. I am subscribing .
Thank you so much!! And thank you for the support! ❤️
I'll add it to my list! I'll never turn down a scrubs request 😝 (Even if it takes some time to actually get it filmed, edited and posted 😜)
@@JessTheMD thanks.. can't wait
Never lie to your Doctor or lawyer. However, when it comes to the police, DONT talk at all.
funny how this video pops up right after my own bonemarrow biopsy, google is such an asshole
Lol omg I'm so sorry you're dealing with that... And also so ironic. Don't you love how google/amazon/etc... They are all listening 😝 Sometimes super creepy the ads that end up popping up.... 🙈🤣
Yayyy!
More scrubs reactions in the pipeline too!
I have no idea how hypochondria is a thing in America.i mean the medical system is designed to extract as much money as possible, why would anyone intentionally add to that
Because doctors themselves are not trying to extract as much money out of people as possible - it’s insurance companies. We just want to make sure people are happy and healthy 😊
Maam can you react to end of world doctor who scene with the skin bodied evil woman
I’m not quite sure what that is..? Post a link to it maybe? 😊
@@JessTheMD maam its doctor who series 1 episode 2 but cannot send link to for full episode from my available platforms
Don't worry about the hassle..perhaps react to something else instead If you want to
Thank you for the info! I’ll put it on my list 😊
@@JessTheMD thanks maam
Dr. Kelso is the Chief
The chief is still an attending physician 😊
Wow... Once again, sociopaths have a huge advantage over neurotypicals/ 'normals.' You guys actually have stuff that is so important to you, that losing it would cause you to -lose it- become enormously upset. That's so alien!! I can't imagine loving 'stuff' that much!!
Seems sometimes it’s easier not to care about stuff, huh? 🙈❤️
@@JessTheMD
You could be right, but as a sociopath (ASPD) I lack the depth of emotion that a normal has. So the option exists for 'normals' to care/ not care about various objects, whereas for me a flatter affect means I lack that option. There are 2 puppies and maybe 2 people who I care about enough to protect at any cost to myself, but possessions? Harumph, I say...
"Men should put aside their own feelings to make sure women are okay" is a terrible message.
That’s not the message though. They’re friends - has nothing to do with their genders.
I don't think Mr. Corman's response to Cox was fair at all. At no point in the show has Cox _ever_ indicated that he would treat some rando off the street that way. He treated Mr. Corman like that because he was fed up with Corman coming in and taking up a bed that could have been used for someone who was actually sick. Corman is a perfect example of the boy who cried wolf. If anything, he's lucky Cox was being such an ass, because without that they may not have caught Corman's cancer until it was too late.
9:13 As a guy, could you ladies be a little more direct. We are not always sure what a woman is asking for and afraid to overstep bounds in case we misread the subtext. It is very much an acquired skill for men to pick up on it. But to be fair, Dorian is kind of an idiot
Haha we definitely could stand to be more direct. You’re not wrong 😊
No.
Men get it.
We just process loss differently. He also needed to move on. Comforting her wasn’t going to help either one with that.
That’s fair ❤️ I can understand that!
