Reza FarahanGuestJoseph ShalabyHostUm, now let me, let me ask you, looking back, can you tell a scene that you wish you handled differently?
I- other than the scene you just mentioned, by the way, which I think is hilarious.
[laughs] Um, yeah, you know, I ended up getting into a big, uh, falling out with my bestie MJ, um, and I, we had an explosive argument, and our relationship was compromised, and I wish that I could redo that and, uh, I would act completely different.
I got fart spray and shart liquid and we were on a camper, and I went in the bathroom and I sprayed the fart spray and I put the liquid sharts all around the toilet bowl, and Golnesa was driving.
Um, we were filming, we were in Mexico, and MJ was dating this dude, or just getting to know this dude we had nicknamed Fake Drake, and he texted her, "Hey, what's going on? Did you get to Mexico yet?" And I grabbed her phone and I texted, "Hey, I wish you were inside of me again," and they had not been intimate yet.

And you Persian girls tend to be hairy, so I hope you guys are gonna wax before the pool pa-" I was going in.
And someone you know that I know, and the reason why I'm here today, used to misspell Golnesa's name.
