00:04And this is the...
00:05And this is the...
00:06And this is the...
00:07Here we go.
00:08Strap in.
00:09And this is the GQ couples quiz together.
00:10Together.
00:11Together.
00:12Yes.
00:13Oh, and we don't say together.
00:14No, we say it together.
00:15We don't say together.
00:16Hey GQ, I'm Livvy Dunn.
00:18And I'm Paul Skiens.
00:19And this is the GQ couples quiz.
00:21Who's gonna win?
00:23Me.
00:24Obviously, the right answer is me.
00:26Oh yeah.
00:27She's gonna win.
00:28Let's thumb wrestle.
00:29We could real wrestle.
00:31One, two, three, four, I declare a thumb war, go.
00:36What are you wearing lotion?
00:38It's so slippery.
00:40Okay.
00:41It looks like I'm going first.
00:43What?
00:44What is my favorite gymnastics move?
00:47A flip.
00:49Well, yes, but like more specific.
00:53A double tuck through layout.
00:54Is that a real thing?
00:55Close.
00:57Double tuck, a double front tuck layout.
00:59No, I'm gonna compete that next week though.
01:02No, that's not my favorite skill.
01:04I think I should get a half point.
01:06I'll say that.
01:07Honestly, like, I agree.
01:08Because it's a double layout.
01:10And you said double.
01:11Yeah, I mean, I think I should get a full point.
01:12I think I should get two points.
01:14I gave extra.
01:15Okay, I say you get a half point.
01:17Because you said double.
01:18Better than nothing.
01:19And my favorite skill is a double layout.
01:20Yeah, I just made up the double tuck through thing.
01:23You honestly did great.
01:24Good job.
01:25Is my IG real with the highest views?
01:27Okay, that's a trick question.
01:29I know, I kind of feel bad about this one.
01:30But like, if you really love me, you would know.
01:37He doesn't even have Instagram downloaded.
01:38Yeah, I don't see anything she puts out there.
01:41So I feel like this is a little unfair, but.
01:43I have no idea.
01:44It's white swan and black swan with KJ.
01:46Yeah, I didn't even know that was a thing.
01:49Okay, no points for that one.
01:51Oh, great.
01:52Okay, yeah.
01:53What's my sign?
01:54You know it.
01:55It's October.
01:56Uh-huh.
01:57Libra.
01:58Yes!
01:59Good job.
02:00You get a point for that.
02:01Yeah.
02:02That was awesome.
02:03I got it right.
02:04Can't believe you knew that.
02:05Can't believe you remember that.
02:06Yeah.
02:07She's smiling.
02:08This isn't good.
02:09What did I think of you when we met?
02:11I love you.
02:12That's what you thought.
02:13Exactly.
02:14You're right.
02:15I did.
02:16I was like, I feel like I was simping first.
02:23Who inspired me most growing up?
02:26Is there one person?
02:27I mean, yeah.
02:28There is somebody.
02:29Your mom.
02:30I mean, yeah.
02:31She did inspire me.
02:32My mom's the best.
02:33I mean, I guess from an athletic point of view, it's somebody different.
02:37Sorry, mom.
02:38Oh, okay.
02:39Yeah.
02:40For gymnastics?
02:41Nastia Liukin.
02:42Yes!
02:43Oh my gosh.
02:44Good job.
02:45Nice, babe.
02:46Yeah.
02:47What am I most comfortable sleeping in?
02:50Pajamas.
02:52Pajamas?
02:53I guess, but like, be more specific here.
02:57Like what would be my go-to after this shoot?
02:59Like I'm going to unwind and like put something on.
03:02Sweatpants and an old t-shirt.
03:04Right.
03:05One of mine.
03:06Yeah.
03:07Good job.
03:08You get a point for that.
03:09A nice little reused baseball t-shirt.
03:11How do you know when I'm mad at you?
03:13You leave.
03:14I don't just leave.
03:15You go to another room.
03:16Yeah.
03:17Yeah.
03:18Like I need a moment.
03:19Definitely don't talk to me.
03:20Yeah.
03:22Yeah.
03:23You get a point for that because I do leave the room.
03:24Yeah.
03:25By the way, I don't have that question on here, so I don't ever get mad at you.
03:29Okay.
03:31What is my favorite cheat day meal?
03:33She orders like five Pup Cups at Starbucks and then crushes them all.
03:36What?
03:37No, I'm just kidding.
03:38Andy's.
03:39Yeah.
03:40Ice cream.
03:41But that's not even like a cheat day.
03:42I eat that like every day.
03:43Yeah.
03:44Ice cream.
03:45So you get Chick-fil-A a lot.
03:46Cane's.
03:47Yeah.
03:48Maybe.
03:49Yeah.
03:51I don't have a cheat day.
03:52Really?
03:53Because I eat that stuff all the time.
03:54Half a point or a point?
03:55I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
03:56I'll give you a point.
03:57I can keep going down the list if you want.
04:00You can get a point.
04:01What was my first job ever?
04:02It's got to be influencer, right?
04:04Or gymnast?
04:05No.
04:06Have you had a real job?
04:07Yeah.
04:08Do you know what my first job ever was?
04:09This is about me right now.
04:11Yeah.
04:12What was my first job?
04:13What you're doing now?
04:14No.
04:15What is it?
04:16I was a coach.
04:17Oh, okay.
04:18I coached.
04:19Yeah.
04:20It wasn't my path.
04:21It wasn't my calling.
04:23No points for you.
04:24Do you know my first job?
04:25No, I don't.
04:26It was in the Air Force.
04:27If Rue came in right now, would she run to me or to you first?
04:34I mean, if I were asking this question, the right answer would be she would run to me.
04:39But she's asking the question.
04:40I'm trying to win.
04:41I'm trying to get points.
04:42So she would definitely run to you.
04:43You're right.
04:44She would run to me.
04:45You get a point for that.
04:46Who am I dying to collab with?
04:48Me.
04:50I mean, honestly, yeah.
04:51That's a good one.
04:52Because he never wants to be in TikToks or anything, so I usually have to like secretly
04:55catch footage.
04:56It's not my sphere.
04:57Yeah.
04:58I get it.
04:59Yeah.
05:00But that would be pretty cool if you like agreed one time.
05:01Maybe.
05:02Hopefully.
05:03We'll see.
05:04You get a point.
05:06What word do I overuse?
05:14Probably Ruey Mama.
05:16That's what she calls Rue.
05:18That's what I call Rue.
05:19Yeah.
05:20But you don't overuse it.
05:21Okay.
05:23You overuse some other words.
05:24Anyways.
05:25But I don't.
05:26I'll give you a point.
05:27I'll give you the point.
05:29What's my favorite nickname for you?
05:31Monkey.
05:32Baby.
05:33Yeah.
05:34Baby monkey.
05:35Yeah.
05:36Baby monkey.
05:37Yeah.
05:38I don't know where that came from.
05:39You talk to me sometimes the same way you talk to Rue.
05:40You talk to me like a pet.
05:43Because I have the best nicknames for Rue.
05:46And they just sometimes like the same energy of like love comes out to you when I'm like,
05:52I don't know.
05:53So you admit that you talk to me the same way you talk to our dog?
05:55Well, think of other nicknames.
05:57Beluga.
05:58You want me to keep going?
06:01These sound like insults.
06:04No, I have no idea what a beluga whale.
06:08I don't know if that's like a compliment.
06:11You get a point for that.
06:12What's my favorite thing about you?
06:15I don't know.
06:20Think.
06:21That I love you.
06:24That's right.
06:25You get a point.
06:27Yeah.
06:28I do.
06:29I appreciate your love.
06:30Thanks.
06:31I appreciate your love.
06:32What is my biggest pet peeve?
06:37You gotta know this.
06:38People standing in doorways.
06:39Yeah, that pisses me off.
06:40Yeah.
06:41Like that's not okay.
06:42It's the worst.
06:43Like people standing in doorways, like they're just in the way.
06:46It's inconsiderate.
06:47Yeah.
06:48Big pet peeve.
06:49What is my proudest moment?
06:50National championship.
06:51That's one of them.
06:52Sports Illustrated.
06:53Yeah, I was excited for that.
06:55My debut.
06:56I was very proud of you, but what's another moment in my life?
07:01I'll give you a hint.
07:02Gymnastics.
07:03And it's not the national championship.
07:04No.
07:05What did I do before I went to college?
07:06You played for Team USA.
07:07And then what'd we do?
07:08You won.
07:09Yeah.
07:10Because it's America.
07:11We went.
07:12Yeah, that's another moment.
07:13Was that in Italy?
07:14Yes.
07:15Good job, babe.
07:16I know.
07:17You get a point.
07:19What's my hidden talent?
07:20Not singing.
07:21Um, I don't know.
07:22Me either.
07:23I was seeing if you could think of something.
07:24You just wanted to get complimented.
07:27No.
07:28Okay, what's my guilty pleasure?
07:31Andes, Chick-fil-A.
07:33Those are all right.
07:34Yeah, maybe Cain's, Starbucks.
07:36But like, I like all those things.
07:38Like, what's something that I like, I don't eat or consume very often, but when I do,
07:43it's a treat.
07:45One of my steaks.
07:46The steak that I cooked.
07:48Yeah.
07:49Okay.
07:50I was going to say ramen.
07:51You get no point.
07:52No point.
07:53Wow.
07:54Who laid the first kiss?
07:55You.
07:56You're right.
07:57You get a point.
08:00Riz.
08:01What was my first Halloween costume?
08:03You have to know this by now.
08:06Was it like a butternut squash or a pumpkin?
08:10Yeah.
08:11I knew the answer.
08:12Yeah.
08:13You get a point.
08:14You got this many points.
08:17He knows me.
08:18He just knows me.
08:19Yeah.
08:20We also, we did practice.
08:21We did practice.
08:22We had to.
08:24I thought it was like a team thing.
08:25You know, how well do we know each other?
08:27But really it's, you know, I'm going to beat you.
08:30That's how it is.
08:31So you better strap in for these questions.
08:34Where do I throw my sinker?
08:37Okay.
08:39I have no clue.
08:41It's the sinker when it goes down.
08:43Yeah.
08:44It's the one that, yeah.
08:45Okay.
08:46So that's a sweet spot if I'm not mistaken.
08:47No.
08:48No.
08:49Okay.
08:50No.
08:51That is?
08:52That is.
08:53You don't sign there.
08:54I don't sign there.
08:55You don't sign there.
08:56Okay.
08:57And then you take these two, put them over, and then you have your finger right here.
08:59And then you throw it like that and then it goes up and then down.
09:03I'll give you a half point for that.
09:04Am I right?
09:05Kind of.
09:06Just like that.
09:08That wasn't bad.
09:09It wasn't bad.
09:10I mean, that was kind of right.
09:12What did I want to be when I was little?
09:14Um, you wanted to be in the Air Force.
09:18Yeah.
09:19Okay.
09:20I get a point, right?
09:21I wouldn't say I wanted to do that my whole life.
09:23Don't think so hard.
09:25You wanted to be a baseball player.
09:26Yeah.
09:27That's a, you know, pretty common goal for children.
09:30Who's my biggest baseball hero?
09:32Ooh.
09:33I don't really know specifically.
09:36I don't think like your hero, but I know someone you've admired, Mike Trout.
09:41Yeah.
09:42I wouldn't say like a hero.
09:44I know you admire his work.
09:46I'll give that a point because I don't think she knows that I don't have a hero.
09:50I really don't.
09:52I've enjoyed watching players and all that, but I do not have a hero.
09:56Okay.
09:57Here's a layup.
09:58Where did we first meet?
09:59In Mississippi.
10:00In Mississippi.
10:01And you barely wanted to give me a hug.
10:03But then after that, we had a good time.
10:06We had a good time.
10:07Yeah.
10:08We had a great time.
10:09It was a little side hug.
10:10Just, you know, I didn't know her.
10:12I'm not going to go two arms for somebody I don't know.
10:15We had a good night though.
10:16Yeah.
10:17It was fun.
10:18What's my favorite fast food?
10:19Well, automatically my brain goes to Chick-fil-A.
10:22But you don't really eat fast food anymore.
10:24He's been on his health journey.
10:26So, I would say Chick-fil-A.
10:29I think that's your go-to.
10:31All right.
10:32One point.
10:33Chance for a second.
10:34What do I like to order there?
10:35You're only getting this point if you get it exactly right.
10:38You order $40 worth of food.
10:40Okay.
10:41For just yourself.
10:42Yeah?
10:43Like, you order everything.
10:44Okay.
10:45That's not a point.
10:46Get more specific.
10:47You get a chicken sandwich.
10:48What type?
10:49You get, like, the bacon, lettuce, tomato one.
10:52The club?
10:53The club, yeah.
10:54You get the club.
10:55You get chicken nuggets.
10:56You get—
10:57How many?
10:5812?
10:59I don't know.
11:00Keep going.
11:01I want to see if you know it.
11:02It's just going to keep going on.
11:03Fries.
11:04You get a salad.
11:06You get—
11:07How many nuggets?
11:08The most there is.
11:09Yeah.
11:10Two points.
11:11What's my pregame meal?
11:13Fettuccine Alfredo.
11:15Yep.
11:16Everyone knows that.
11:17Yeah, I was about to say everybody knows that.
11:18What's the last movie I watched?
11:20Well, you were just away for a few days.
11:23So, I don't know what you watched when you were away.
11:25Yeah, that's kind of a cheat question.
11:27Probably, like, Die Hard.
11:29No, that's a Christmas movie.
11:31I don't know.
11:32I would never, ever, ever watch it if it's not Christmas time.
11:35What did you watch last?
11:36It's a movie called Little Fockers.
11:38Good movie.
11:39I would have never known.
11:40It's a good movie.
11:41You should watch it.
11:42Okay.
11:43What food will I absolutely never eat?
11:44Something you would never eat.
11:47I've never had it before.
11:49Do I know it?
11:50We've talked about it before.
11:52You went on a trip and had it.
11:53I went on a trip and I had it?
11:55Yeah, last summer.
11:56You were telling me about it.
11:57You said it's not as bad as it seems.
11:58Oh, oh, snails.
12:00Yep.
12:01And snails are good, but you don't think you would ever try it?
12:03Never.
12:04Okay.
12:05What age did I start playing baseball?
12:08I have no clue.
12:11Maybe, like, when you were...
12:12God, you seem like you've been playing fresh out the womb.
12:15I don't know.
12:17I don't know.
12:18Maybe, like, when you were three.
12:19Yeah, that's pretty much what I say,
12:21because as far as I know, I was playing out of the womb.
12:24No, my memory doesn't go back before three, so I just say three.
12:28Your memory doesn't go back a few days ago.
12:30Yeah, a few hours ago.
12:32What was my ERA last year?
12:34Oh, shoot.
12:35I think it...
12:36I'm going to take a guess.
12:381.96.
12:40You guessed that?
12:41I'm pretty sure from my photographic memory that's what it is.
12:45Good for you.
12:46Point.
12:47Wait, I got it right?
12:48Yep.
12:49What team did I think would draft me?
12:51Either the Pirates or the Nationals.
12:54Yeah, they had the first and second picks.
12:56Which one did you think I was going to get drafted by?
12:58The Pirates, because I knew you were number one,
13:00and number one in my heart.
13:02Aw.
13:03What trip can I not wait for us to take?
13:06You really want to go to Rome.
13:07Yeah.
13:08Or Hawaii, I feel like.
13:10Why Hawaii?
13:11Because our friends are getting married there.
13:13That's the one that's very real for me.
13:15Rome would be cool to go to.
13:16I took an art history class in high school.
13:18You like all the history of Rome, and I...
13:21I mess with gelato.
13:23I like gelato, yeah.
13:24And you can't get authentic gelato unless you go there, right?
13:27Yeah.
13:28So we've got to go at some point.
13:29But yeah, Hawaii.
13:30I think it'll be undone.
13:31I think that's going to be so fun.
13:32To watch our friends get hitched out there.
13:34Yeah.
13:35Make a little trip out of it.
13:36I haven't thought about going to Rome for a while.
13:37I do think about the Roman Empire a lot.
13:39I don't know if that's still a thing that people talk about.
13:42I'm pretty sure I asked you that.
13:43But yeah, those are the things that I know about TikTok.
13:46If I weren't a pitcher, what position would I play?
13:48You really enjoy being a catcher, if I'm not mistaken.
13:50Yeah, I would catch.
13:52What's my fastest pitch?
13:54103.
13:56No point.
13:57102.
13:58I got to start, you know, cutting back on how many points I'm giving out.
14:00I'm trying to win.
14:01I think it was like 102.1.
14:03Okay.
14:04Yeah.
14:05When was that?
14:06I think this year.
14:07Oh, wasn't it the 100th pitch of that game?
14:09No, that was...
14:10I think that was rounded up.
14:11That was probably like 101.5.
14:12They always round up on that.
14:13But I think on the back of one of my baseball cards,
14:15it says I'm up to like 103.
14:17Maybe next year, it'll be up to 104.
14:19Yeah, they like inflating everything.
14:21So just 102.
14:22Okay.
14:23No point.
14:24What is our favorite show to watch together?
14:26Probably Family Guy.
14:27You don't like watching that show?
14:29I honestly think it's kind of funny.
14:31You watch it all the time.
14:33And I don't feel like we have a show we watch together.
14:36Yeah, it changes.
14:37We watched a lot of different shows together.
14:39Like, I feel like Family Guy is like some good old brain rot.
14:42I think I get smarter by watching Family Guy.
14:44Okay.
14:45I think it's a very intelligent show.
14:47Okay.
14:48Yeah, she can get a point.
14:49What was my best subject in school?
14:52I would say math.
14:54No, it wasn't.
14:55I don't know exactly what it was, but math wasn't it.
14:58What's my favorite thing about you?
15:03Your favorite thing about me is my personality.
15:08Yeah.
15:09Yeah, I guess so.
15:12I do really like you.
15:13I do really like you.
15:14And I think you really appreciate how I understand you.
15:16Yeah, you do.
15:17Because not a lot of people do.
15:18Not a lot of people do.
15:19What is my worst habit?
15:21Your worst habit is getting out of the shower and getting water all over the floor.
15:26And I walk into the bathroom and I'm on the verge of slipping and cracking my head open.
15:31Because there's so much water everywhere.
15:33Okay.
15:34Well, it seemed like you really had to think about that one for a while.
15:39I've been waiting for this moment.
15:41No, I'm kidding.
15:42I complain about this a lot.
15:43No point.
15:44But there's been no change.
15:45See, this is why bathrooms need to have carpet.
15:48So that it dries it all up.
15:49It's disgusting.
15:51What is one thing I want to do before I die?
15:53Oh, you want to get your pilot's license.
15:56Yeah, I think that'd be cool.
15:57And fly planes.
15:58Yeah.
15:59All right.
16:00What was my first dog's name?
16:01Oh my gosh.
16:02Wait, it's on the tip of my tongue.
16:05Rufus.
16:06That's a point.
16:07Why did we name him that?
16:08Because of the street.
16:09Yeah.
16:10I didn't name him.
16:11The street that the parrots lived on.
16:12The street that they found him on, I believe.
16:13Oh, okay.
16:14But this was before I was born.
16:15So I didn't have a say.
16:16Rufus.
16:17But that's the dog I grew up with.
16:18You got this many points.
16:21I think I won.
16:22But I don't think it's because she knows me any better.
16:25I think it's because she had more trick questions.
16:27I think my questions were easier.
16:32Ooh.
16:33No.
16:34I didn't learn anything about you because I just know everything about you.
16:37Yeah, I probably did at some point, but I probably forgot it.
16:41That's terrible.
16:43Yeah, she'll have to tell me a few more times before I really retain the information.
16:47Actually, I think I learned how to throw a sinker.
16:50Yeah.
16:51And I'm excited to have a catch with you soon.
16:53Yeah.
16:54Good luck.
