I have an itis where like white people, I have a very hard time distinguishing them from each other.
Right, right. You're like my grandma. So my grandma has known Ryan, my husband, for 10 years. My husband is white, but I could be showing her a picture of like Harry Styles or something and she will still think it's Ryan.
Hey everyone and welcome back to another episode of the comment section show starring me, your fave, everybody knows me, who cares about me. Onto the guest today, we have another icon, icon, legend, hilarious, all-star, Atsuka!
Woo! Drew, what a blessing to be back. Oh my god, I'm so glad to have you. Oh my gosh, and of course you matter. I know you're always like, oh, who cares, it's me. And it's like, bitch, I do because I drove here.
Yeah, yeah. That means a lot to me. Thank you. I'm so happy to have you back. You're one of my favorite people to have on the show. Oh, my gosh. You're such a delight. This episode is presented by Sephora. So what are you getting your mom this Mother's Day? It's hard to find something that says, hey, mom. I think you're amazing and thank you for everything, right? Because flowers that turn up wilted or a home appliance that feels too practical just won't cut it. The solution is simple. A beauty gift from Sephora is more personal and lets mom know she is loved and celebrated. With gorgeous Mother's Day gift sets filled with skincare, fragrance, makeup, or hair products, Sephora makes it easy to find the perfect gift for her.
Shop Mother's Day gifts at Sephora. I do want to bring this up too, because I don't think I've ever told this to you, but the first time we filmed together, I think we were sitting in the chairs for only like a couple minutes. And then you were like, it's been really sad in the air lately, hasn't it? Just randomly to me. And you had no way of knowing this, but I had a really rough morning that morning. Is that right? Yeah, that was the morning I found out my grandpa had cancer. And you said that, and I was like, it has been a really rough morning. Yeah, it's been really sad. And then you were like, yeah, and you brought up your grandma to me. And then we started talking about your grandma, and then I started talking to you about my grandpa.
Then we got started. And then we were silly and funny for an hour.
But I really, I wanted to- The things we have to go through to entertain both of our grandparents going through shit. I know. And that's been like, three, two, one. Hi, we're back on the comment. Pee-pee-poo-poo out my butt. Yeah, yeah, my nose is bleeding. Yeah.
No, for real. Sister, sister. Yeah. But I literally wanted to tell you that when you came back because it really, truly, it helped me a lot. When you brought that up and we talked about it but didn't because I didn't tell you about my grandpa at all. Yeah. As far as like, because I was still processing it that day. But like...
spending that time with you after was like a lot it was great for me wow and it really made me feel better so i had to tell you i keep forgetting to tell you every time i've seen you yes and i had no idea i mean i always think about you know having to host a podcast being a host yeah asking other people questions yeah i don't know if i could do it it's you know what i mean yeah truly like a therapist to other people right so i mean it's wild that i you know to not have known that that's what you were going through yeah exactly that's why i said we spiritually connected at that point wow
And I just haven't gotten a chance to tell you. I've seen you a million times since then and I just haven't gotten a chance to tell you. Figured on camera with the lights was the best time to do it.
How does Atsuko express her connection with Drew?
That's an intense, intense morning. I'm so sorry about that. And I know he's still going through it.
Yeah, he's in remission right now. So that's the wonderful part. So we're working through it. We're working past it. But I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciated you that day because it really brought a lot of joy to me and I needed it that day. And you sensed it about me without even knowing.
