    Some actors are so closed off and uncomfortable in interviews, but Simu is a natural talking away. It’s like he’s everybody’s best friend.

    What I love about Stephen is that he does his homework about people he interviews. Even if he doesn't get the details right, he asks with enough pizazz about the interviewee's life that they can add to the conversation by correcting the details, rearranging the thoughts in an order that the audience can understand, and boom! another guest that becomes a friend because both sides feel valued. Simu is great, I hope he becomes a regular on the show

    • @michaelrmurphy2734
      @michaelrmurphy2734 Год назад +4

      I agree. Stephen is a natural for being curious like his talk show hero Dick Cavett.

    At least as an accountant you don't have to wax!
    Also, I think you're doing allying wrong, trying to ally with people would be to point out 'hey, nobody should have to go through that shit for literally no reason'. The anti-hair view is evolutionarily speaking fucked up, adults have hair, it's normal, not having hair is weird, like you're trying to appeal to people who are into overly young people. If someone wants to remove their hair, that's their choice, but nobody should ever feel pressure to, regardless of gender. The enormous pressure on women to appeal as infantile as possible is messed up.

    Good news, I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word (Jesus) and believes him who sent me (God) has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life. John 5:24 Please think about it, believe&repent of sin today! Don't be left behind, Jesus died for you. Believe before the rapture. Love U
