Reminds me of how my great-uncle lived longer than his wife, then when she died, he married his sister-in-law who was also a widow. He famously said "Well I've had the same in-laws for 4 decades, I don't want to go and find new in-laws."
Honestly, being an identical twin was great for dating. We have very different interests and personalities. So if someone was going after both of us, we knew they only cared about looks. Only took me two relationships and him 3 to find the right person. We both married women who wouldn't date our brother.
If someone is interested in both of you after just meeting you that’s one thing, but if they know both of you they could be interested for different reasons. I’m friends with twins and I enjoy their company for different reasons
Right I can’t imagine marrying anyone my identical twin sister liked let alone date. I got asked out by my sisters first boyfriend (13ish) at 18 and I have zero idea how he thought I would say yes.
On the other hand, if you are an identical twin and someone finds you physically attractive, that means your twin will most likely also be seen as physically attractive. That said, physical attraction only gets you so far. Having compatible personalities is what leads to a long-term relationship.
@@spanishprisoner Actually kind of average looking, not alot of money or anything like that either. It's just that having a twin helped me figure out why people liked me. That was the point of my comment.
god it really is. my biggest regret in HS is not trying to be more social instead of hiding in the computer lab at lunch. no one tells you that school is basically the best time to make relationships and make mistakes because you have such a predictable pool of people you're forced to interact with every day.
Frankly, meeting your SO in HS is a big gamble. Usually, you only stay together out of convenience and not because you're really compatible. Because let's face it, you develop so much after high school that compatibilities just straight up change. Also, especially because you have that predictable pool of people makes mistakes even worse. Just like no sane person would ever date colleagues because if it goes awry, it'll mess a lot of stuff up and you can't escape, school is even worse in that regard.
In my family tree there is a pair of twins that married a pair of twins, all identical. Family reunions were a miserable event when they both brought their families. One couple had 6 kids, the other had 7 kids. Between them there were 3 sets of twins. I just gave up trying to figure out who was who. I could write it down on paper who went where in the family tree, but there was zero translation from the family tree to picking them out of a lineup and saying who was who, especially when you only saw them once a year for two days.
Jesus, you should have a Steve Martin movie. Growing up my mom told me how her side had two brothers who married two sisters, like Becky and Darlene on Roseanne, it took me a few years to understand how it worked and that's nothing compared to this shit show, I'd lose track too.
"Is your sister like........... alive??" 😆😆 The BEST line!! That long pause of her running through her mind thinking of what possible reason her sister could be ok with this!
I love the look she has when she hears he dated her twin sister first. She stands there stunned for a moment then puts the water bottle on the ground and gets comfortable. You know she's gonna milk this conversation for every laugh she can.
Now I'm ready to hear Taylor perform a complete special like this; totally improvised! "Quarter-life Crisis" was extremely funny, but the look on her face with the newfound knowledge of the twin-dating was priceless!! This was the funniest thing I've ever seen. She is AWESOME!!
My one thing was Quarter Life crisis was for a good 20-25 minutes it felt like the crowd was kinda against her, but she fucking NAILED a joke and instantly she found her stride and the special was great.
I can’t remember if it was a live show I saw or a clip, but the couple was 4 years apart, with the older something like 26, who had been together for 6 years. You can imagine how it went.
My mom knows a set of identical twins that stayed physically identical in every way as adults and had the same career as elementary school teachers in the same school. Their only outward difference was Twin A (let's call her Anna) was married for years, so she wore wedding ring, and Twin B (let's call her Belle) stayed single. Anna's husband divorced her and married Belle shortly after. Someone with me when I heard the story said "Imagine knowing your husband left you only because of your personality." Husband didn't come off as a prize but it's still got to sting.
My childhood friends mom has a twin sister. They have almost identical names, like one or two letter difference, they look identical, dress identical, have the same job at the same hospital and do the same things. They are literally the same person.
This is WONDERFUL!!! All improvised so you’re living off you’re quick wit. I love it. Even the “shshsh” was hilarious. One of the best lines was “like …. Well…. How …..?” Leaving whole screeds of talk unsaid.
I get the impression she's doing a natural reaction (it would certainly be how I'd react), only she has the self-possession to slow her reaction down so the audience can follow along and she can let the laughs roll.
Okay, this was hands down one of the best bits I've seen recently. Most times I'd assume that anything this funny was a setup but this really does seem like her genuine reaction.
This might be piling on: my mom was one of four sisters. My dad dated all four. His brother married one of them, then my father finally got serious about my mother. The sisters stayed close their entire lives. I have never seen a family picture that contains both my father and his brother after those marriages.
@@gergelykoppany2235 Actually, no. In a somewhat rural town 30 miles from Detroit. But this was in the years immediately after WW II. Healthy, single men were a rare commodity.
Why no dad/brother pics? If the sisters remained close was there some rift between the men? Or were they just hardscrabble rural types that didn't have time to sit for photos?
@@JustinPogue The issues I can identify were alcoholism in one brother: PTSD in the other: the extended family fighting over money: general dishonesty of my uncle. The sister thing was just incidental to all the rest of the family issues.
She has a talent few others have. She not only has a very expressive face, she knows how to get the most out of it. She's brilliant and quick to find the humor and exploit it verbally but her facial expressions are simply amazing and add SO much to building and expanding a joke. It doesn't hurt that she's gorgeous and has a compelling voice. She's delightful.
I've seen her live once... she actually didn't do much crowdwork and performed an hour of completely new and incredible material. She's so brilliant and tireless.
Removes her water bottle from the seat, slides onto the seat with her eyes locked on this couple like they could disappear any moment. Proceeds to sit at the very edge of said seat. I don't know if all of the physical comedy was intentional, but it was hilarious.
She's handsdown my favourtie female comic. So naturally funny and the crowd work here is amazing as well. Props to the those two audience members too for having such a crazy life lol doesn't happen often.
I don't really follow stand-up a lot, so she is not only my favorite female comedian, but also the only female comedian I actually find funny. Will check out who Mr. Carguy mentioned though.
I'm thinking that, when Ms. Tomlinson first heard the "dated her sister" info, she was thinking "what great luck that these folks walk into my set and tell me this. This is good for a half hour..."
I just saw this for the first time. First I think you are hysterical. Secondly, I'm an identical twin. In college I dated this guy that I wasn't really into or attracted to. My sister thought he was really cute, and dated him for 4 years. That said, we have obviously different tastes in men! Your performance was spectacular
Shows the brilliance of Taylor as a comedian. Went away from her regular planned out act to a unplanned interaction with a patron. Turned out hilarious. Taylor has a brilliant quick mind.
Just to bring it home for some of us, 46 years ago was 1977. Not the 50s, or even the 60s. It was the year Star Wars came out. I feel so old. And thanks, Taylor, for such great videos! Cheers.
that was INCREDIBLE. that crowd was just eating out of Taylor's hand. Do we have the rest of this show? I don't care about the so-so audio. it seems to have been an amazing night.
I love how Taylor, (if she genuinely found out about this “on the fly”), basically seems to have written an entire set in a snap. If this was improv-ed, then she’s bloody good. If it wasn’t, she’s still a really funny comedian.
I refuse to believe this was scripted. In a lot of her acts you can see how rehearsed her lines and “reactions” are (albeit still delivered brilliantly) and here it was just pure reaction that still went smoothly
That really is a golden bit of crowd work. If you're a stand up and you have 5 minutes you need to kill, good crowd work will soak up at least 4 of them. The difficulty is establishing a certain repartee with the audience member... You have to keep control of the interaction, avoid offending them but keep them just embarrassed enough to keep trying to explain, and keep the rest of the audience involved. Taylor does all of that in a really cute [appearance] and professional [technique] way.
I have five brothers, none of us are twins. One of them dated a girl for a while in high school, then they broke up, and then she dated one of my other brothers. The whole family was pretty good-natured about it. There were jokes about which of us she'd date next and such. But, there was no "next", as she ended up marrying the second one.
Totally related to this. I met my wife when we were 12. We started dating when we were 15. We got married after college, 23 years ago. I didn't date her sister though. THAT would have been a nightmare. I definitely picked the right sister!
@@Josh-99 You're at least in your 40s and you're pulling the old "This comment is old" line? Tell me, what exactly is time-sensitive about your OP? A manga dub?
You are hands down my favorite comic that I have found during this Covid lock down! Thank you for adding some much needed laughter to the last two years. Can’t wait to see you live.
Taylor is so freakin’ good in this clip! I think those early years working in the “Christian comedy community” (a term I just made up, since I’d never heard of it before Taylor) served her well with audience interactions like this one. She even made a reference to technique by saying the key was asking questions with relatively short potential answers-of which she could think of NONE.🤣
I recently saw TT in a special, and I was impressed with how far she has come. I saw her once when she was doing like college-age material. But, now, she's really top-notch. I believe she'll be a big star soon. And, I hope that Netflix gives her a special. In my opinion, she's almost ready for that. Honestly, I'd even pay to see her at a Ticketmaster Event. She's that good now.
@@CultsBCultin Does she? I didn't know. I remember her from college-age comedy, and I thought she was "up and coming" back then. She's top-notch talent now.
As some one who thinks they are funny, I found this to be brilliant, just so well done. Everything from moving your water, so you can sit and lean in, the half started questions, the aside to the rest of the crowd, all of it.
Ok, just checked your home page. POST MORE. Please & thanks. It's hard to find comedy that hits that balance of funny and just crude & you are doing it very well.
I watched the TikTok first. I wasn't satisfied that those were all your questions. This video is very satisfying! Thank you for asking the questions we all wanted to know! We appreciate your efforts!
This is just amazing, especially when you realise she can't see shit up there, so that faux eye contact is also part of the act. Calm, controlled, and hilarious. 😂👏👏😂👏👏
I dated twins one after the other, when the first one decided to move on, she told me to ask her twin out, and after a couple months of that the second twin was done with me I dated their younger sister. I guess they just thought I was a fun date and wanted to share me around. I didn't end up staying with any of them long term, but they were all fun to date.
Mowing Your Lawn. They've been mowin each others sisters lawn 😂😂😂😂 Patterns of Bevaiour. You've had me crackin up from the what, who... ??? Classic 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Lots of Love from Down Under here in Australia 💙
I dated my brother's wife for 6months. We broke up, they started going out. They've been married 41yrs. I married her best friend, we've been married 39yrs
I knew a family where two brothers married two sisters. I don't know what the dating situation was before they married, but they seemed to get along well enough so I'm guessing nothing like this.
I love how Taylor is super respectful and makes people laugh. She is becoming my favorite female comedian. Finally I have found one that I consistently like of my gender! Yay!
Taylor Tomlinson is not only funny, she’s a consummate professional at work. An amateur would talk just to the person and repeat it back, forgetting the crowd to dig for the flecks of gold, but she interacts with them. How she holds herself when she hears the bombshell is a joke, and the WHOLE CROWD is listening to the “ooooo, this is gonna be good” she is saying with her movements. She isn’t saying just what she wants, but also playing it up because THAT is what the crowd wants too. She’s… “mindful” of the fact that she has to have some boundaries, but she’s giving voice to the crowd in saying that all of the questions are inappropriate. She’s almost like a heckler, but rather than be against the comedy, she’s amping it up. It’s amazing, and this should be shown to other comedians for a how to guide.
I haven't seen all her work but this has to be one of Taylor's 10 best moments. Her physical behavior, her acting, her sushing the laughing audience, her willingness to pause (a tough skill to master when you're on stage, or so I'm told) her admissions about crowd work. She is not an excellent female comedian; she is an excellent comedian.
I have a pair of nephews that are twins. They often dated the same girl, whether concurrently or consecutively. Sharing was never a problem for them. I guess getting one toy for them both to play with when they were young made an impact on how they saw things.
Probably from a small town with relatively limited options. So, people are much more comfortable with the idea of dating someone who dated someone close to them. I know my ex-wife told me she and another friend dated another friend's husband before the friend did. They had a graduating class of about 60. And I remember it coming up that her dad had dated her mom's brother's wife, prior to dating then marrying her mom.
i've actually done this. as a teenager. i was dating two twins - the slightly older one (by minutes) was a bit more dominant. eventually i took a liking to her sister, and i think they worked it out on their end, and i was hanging out with the younger one, who i really did like. she had a more mellow personality. both were pretty redheads, but my family moved across the continent due to my dad's job, so i didn't see or hear from them again, but i really did like that younger one.
movie title idea "dating double" "it takes two" "seeing double" "the partner trap" -- it starts off by one twin not being able to make it to a date but they don't want to cancle, so they send their twin... If this were the 80's it would be a sitcom
Reminiscent of the Patty Duke Show on TV or a couple of 1930s-40s movies that had similar storylines of twins/sisters trading suitors with the suitors' knowledge. The form also shows in French theater of the 1700s, usually as bedroom farce.
My uncle dated my mom for a hot second (like went on a few dates), then had a crush on my other aunt (my mom’s older sister) though they never dated, THEN he started dating my OTHER aunt (mom’s fraternal twin sister) when they were 16/17-ish and they’re still married 34 years later. If they hadn’t said 40 something years married I’d have thought it was them in the crowd lol. Family drama is wild 🤣.
Kind of reminds me of how my dad started dating this girl after he and my mom got divorced. I came over to meet her.... and it was my girlfriend's sister.
This is like a Master Class in how to do crowd work. Establish a rapport with the audience so you're all in it together. Ask short questions. Repeat back what they said. Focus on unusual answers but connect it to relatable reactions. End on a positive. She even explains how to do it as she goes along.
And the result is hilarious. Just brilliant.
Taylor does all aspects of comedy brilliantly.
This was brilliant? Haha if this is brilliant crowd work then what is Big Jay Oakerson or Patrice O Neal?
The crowd really helped here by reacting in a grandiose way to the peoples story even when there was no jokes being said.

Incredible? This is why comedy is dying. People think this is great.
@@DerekOfRivia if you are dead inside, we can’t help you.
@@Xplora213 She's still unfunny.
@@DerekOfRivia comedy is dying because people think they're too good for it tbh.
@@DerekOfRivia nobody forces you to watch her. Just watch someone else
I love how Taylor, (if she genuinely found out about this “on the fly”), basically seems to have written an entire set in a snap. If this was improv-ed, then she’s bloody good. If it wasn’t, she’s still a really funny comedian.
Went to one of her shows earlier this year, it's deff improved
It's just crowd work, not all comedians can do it but she is fantastic at it. Hope to see her live sometime
I refuse to believe this was scripted. In a lot of her acts you can see how rehearsed her lines and “reactions” are (albeit still delivered brilliantly) and here it was just pure reaction that still went smoothly
@@LunaBell08 I will defer to your experience. I’d be happier in a world where this was a spur-of-the-moment thing, so that’s where I’m staying.
The term is "improvised"
I keep watching this again and again. I think it's her best clip.
"How do you even?.. How?... How!?" 😂😂 They broke Taylor. 😅
I wish there was more of her work on RUclips. I’ve watched all that I can find a few times already. I think she’s brilliant!
She has a TikTok account with super funny videos too
"see you at Thanksgiving" was the perfect wrap. Brilliant.
A great set -- entirely improvise. She should become a talk show host!
That really is a golden bit of crowd work.
If you're a stand up and you have 5 minutes you need to kill, good crowd work will soak up at least 4 of them. The difficulty is establishing a certain repartee with the audience member... You have to keep control of the interaction, avoid offending them but keep them just embarrassed enough to keep trying to explain, and keep the rest of the audience involved.
Taylor does all of that in a really cute [appearance] and professional [technique] way.
her face when she registers "you dated her twin sister" is just everything to me "this is a gift!"
She was like “Jackpot!!”
I have five brothers, none of us are twins. One of them dated a girl for a while in high school, then they broke up, and then she dated one of my other brothers. The whole family was pretty good-natured about it. There were jokes about which of us she'd date next and such. But, there was no "next", as she ended up marrying the second one.
Sort of sounds like you might have an incredible family and she was like, “These are my people” 😊
Totally related to this. I met my wife when we were 12. We started dating when we were 15. We got married after college, 23 years ago.
I didn't date her sister though. THAT would have been a nightmare. I definitely picked the right sister!
Aww 🥰
That is so ob obnoxiously wholesome. Damn you, Wholesome Man.
How did you "relate" to this if the very thing they're talking about, dating a sister, doesn't apply to you at all?
@@encycl07pedia- I don't know. This episode is from a year ago. I don't remember it.
Weird of you to comment on a year-old post about a manga dub.
@@Josh-99 You're at least in your 40s and you're pulling the old "This comment is old" line? Tell me, what exactly is time-sensitive about your OP?
A manga dub?
1:51 "How do you even... How...? How." I just can't, that delivery is pure gold :D
You are hands down my favorite comic that I have found during this Covid lock down! Thank you for adding some much needed laughter to the last two years. Can’t wait to see you live.
This puts the saying ‘Sharing is caring’ to a WHOLE other level
The part where she is slowly clearing off the stool to sit down and listen was perfect! What a great performance
Who needs material before getting on the stage when the crowd can provide such great stuff to work with! Bravo Taylor!
Taylor is so freakin’ good in this clip! I think those early years working in the “Christian comedy community” (a term I just made up, since I’d never heard of it before Taylor) served her well with audience interactions like this one. She even made a reference to technique by saying the key was asking questions with relatively short potential answers-of which she could think of NONE.🤣
I recently saw TT in a special, and I was impressed with how far she has come. I saw her once when she was doing like college-age material. But, now, she's really top-notch. I believe she'll be a big star soon. And, I hope that Netflix gives her a special. In my opinion, she's almost ready for that. Honestly, I'd even pay to see her at a Ticketmaster Event. She's that good now.
Doesn’t she have like two Netflix specials!? 😂
@@CultsBCultin Does she? I didn't know. I remember her from college-age comedy, and I thought she was "up and coming" back then. She's top-notch talent now.
@@PoeLemic ‘Quarter-Life Crisis’ has been out on Netflix for a while
The second one is dropping very soon. I saw the thumbnail on Netflix.
I have to add, I just watched it. 😀 And, was not disappointed.
Taylor is absolutely brilliant with crowd work. This is a gift. Amazing.
She is so natural funny, would like the opportunity to see her live. Awesome work.
As some one who thinks they are funny, I found this to be brilliant, just so well done. Everything from moving your water, so you can sit and lean in, the half started questions, the aside to the rest of the crowd, all of it.
What I really love about her comedy is her confidence. She never uhs or ums or any other audible nervous pauses waiting for laughter!
2:43 that fourth wall break was so perfect, it made it even funnier and also sold it pretty well that she didn't know how to handle it.
As much as I like your scripted performances, this is even better. Your shushing the audience, your reactions to the couples questions….
I LMAO!
When the comedian RUNNING the show has to sit down for it, you know it's gonna be good.
0:38
The face you make when The Comedy Gods hand you one of the best crowd work scenarios in the history of Comedy.
"That is so weird." Sums this story, perfectly! Quite possibly my favorite clip of hers! 🤣🤣🤣
Her timing and ability to connect to the audience is amazing she is such a brilliant comic.
Ok, just checked your home page. POST MORE. Please & thanks. It's hard to find comedy that hits that balance of funny and just crude & you are doing it very well.
I watched the TikTok first. I wasn't satisfied that those were all your questions. This video is very satisfying! Thank you for asking the questions we all wanted to know! We appreciate your efforts!
Taylor you are the best comedian! And I enjoy a good comedy. So that's not an easily given title.
She's so good at this stuff, asking the funniest questions without making anyone feel bad
This is so good. I've never seen you do crowd work before. I need to go see you live.
Is your name Wormbo?
This is still my all time favorite clip of yours Taylor. The shock, and slow reach to sit down is the best. 😅
a good audience interaction for you Ms. Tomlinson. Well Played.
These are so great to find because it doesn’t keep popping up in multiple shows. Un-rehearsed spontaneous and so real.
This woman is awesome. I love her style of comedy. I hope she’s enjoying her job.
This is just amazing, especially when you realise she can't see shit up there, so that faux eye contact is also part of the act. Calm, controlled, and hilarious. 😂👏👏😂👏👏
Come to Australia!
@@trudyandgeorge yes please come to Australia
lmao "See you at Thanksgiving" How about couple days a week. My ex is my wives BFF.... can relate.
I dated twins one after the other, when the first one decided to move on, she told me to ask her twin out, and after a couple months of that the second twin was done with me I dated their younger sister. I guess they just thought I was a fun date and wanted to share me around. I didn't end up staying with any of them long term, but they were all fun to date.
Taylor’s reactions to this crazy story had me dying of laughter 😂😂😂
Mowing Your Lawn. They've been mowin each others sisters lawn 😂😂😂😂
Patterns of Bevaiour. You've had me crackin up from the what, who... ??? Classic 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Lots of Love from Down Under here in Australia 💙
I dated my brother's wife for 6months. We broke up, they started going out. They've been
married 41yrs. I married her best friend, we've been married 39yrs
I knew a family where two brothers married two sisters. I don't know what the dating situation was before they married, but they seemed to get along well enough so I'm guessing nothing like this.
You heard about my great-grandfather and my great-grand uncle?
Dude tomlinson is doing hella great... Keep posting the funny audience interaction
I think I come back and watch this at least once a month if not once every couple of weeks because it's just so insanely funny.
I love how Taylor is super respectful and makes people laugh. She is becoming my favorite female comedian. Finally I have found one that I consistently like of my gender! Yay!
Check out Cal Wilson and Aditi Mittal😊
What about Maria Bamford, Margaret Cho, or Sarah Silverman?
I love how she got on the stool like "my god this'll be a long one, tell me everything!"
"I have so many questions and almost none of them are appropriate."
Taylor Tomlinson is not only funny, she’s a consummate professional at work. An amateur would talk just to the person and repeat it back, forgetting the crowd to dig for the flecks of gold, but she interacts with them. How she holds herself when she hears the bombshell is a joke, and the WHOLE CROWD is listening to the “ooooo, this is gonna be good” she is saying with her movements. She isn’t saying just what she wants, but also playing it up because THAT is what the crowd wants too. She’s… “mindful” of the fact that she has to have some boundaries, but she’s giving voice to the crowd in saying that all of the questions are inappropriate. She’s almost like a heckler, but rather than be against the comedy, she’s amping it up. It’s amazing, and this should be shown to other comedians for a how to guide.
I adore TT ! I love how she makes this couple PART of the joke , rather then the butt of the joke
0:59 I love that serious-faced "shh!"
She’s amazing! And that was a comedy gold mine right there! 😄
I haven't seen all her work but this has to be one of Taylor's 10 best moments. Her physical behavior, her acting, her sushing the laughing audience, her willingness to pause (a tough skill to master when you're on stage, or so I'm told) her admissions about crowd work. She is not an excellent female comedian; she is an excellent comedian.
Well, that's how twins are, whatever one has, the other wants it too.
I have a pair of nephews that are twins. They often dated the same girl, whether concurrently or consecutively. Sharing was never a problem for them. I guess getting one toy for them both to play with when they were young made an impact on how they saw things.
Talk about a gold mine in a crowd question. Holy shitttt. Lolllllll
Probably from a small town with relatively limited options. So, people are much more comfortable with the idea of dating someone who dated someone close to them. I know my ex-wife told me she and another friend dated another friend's husband before the friend did. They had a graduating class of about 60. And I remember it coming up that her dad had dated her mom's brother's wife, prior to dating then marrying her mom.
“I going to show this to my sisters and be like see how fucking great I am. I would do that shit to you” 😂😂
I love Taylor. So glad to see she's getting more exposure.
When she heard "it happened to my dad, too", some kinda switch must've gotten flipped, like _"alright, time to take it up a level"_
i've actually done this. as a teenager. i was dating two twins - the slightly older one (by minutes) was a bit more dominant. eventually i took a liking to her sister, and i think they worked it out on their end, and i was hanging out with the younger one, who i really did like. she had a more mellow personality. both were pretty redheads, but my family moved across the continent due to my dad's job, so i didn't see or hear from them again, but i really did like that younger one.
RIP, man... :(
Don't worry she probably never missed out, weak men don't like dominant women
Taylor is a magician with crowd work bro
movie title idea "dating double" "it takes two" "seeing double" "the partner trap" -- it starts off by one twin not being able to make it to a date but they don't want to cancle, so they send their twin... If this were the 80's it would be a sitcom
Double Vision. There's even an 80s song by that name that could be shoehorned in.
Reminiscent of the Patty Duke Show on TV or a couple of 1930s-40s movies that had similar storylines of twins/sisters trading suitors with the suitors' knowledge. The form also shows in French theater of the 1700s, usually as bedroom farce.
Sounds like something young Lindsey Lohan would star in 🙂
@@sindri1447 Very unlikely. Next you'll suggest she plays pranks on her parents or something.
If I had a nickel for everytime the twin protagonists from Sweet Valley High did this, I could fund this
"See you at Thanksgiving!" 🤣🤣🤣
She could run a class on working a crowd - way to go Taylor!
Taylors crowd work is awesome. The clearing off the stool to pull it up and sit down, had me dying.
My uncle dated my mom for a hot second (like went on a few dates), then had a crush on my other aunt (my mom’s older sister) though they never dated, THEN he started dating my OTHER aunt (mom’s fraternal twin sister) when they were 16/17-ish and they’re still married 34 years later. If they hadn’t said 40 something years married I’d have thought it was them in the crowd lol. Family drama is wild 🤣.
That "shhhh" was on point! Subscribed!
Kind of reminds me of how my dad started dating this girl after he and my mom got divorced. I came over to meet her.... and it was my girlfriend's sister.
“How long was she not over it?” 😂😂😂😂
