This week I have a very special

gift for Gaby Dunn.

Oh no.

It's a giant calendar with everything

that we're doing together on it.

Okay.

When you marry someone, you propose

and get a ring.

When you're business partners,

you get a joint calendar.

First of all, it's huge.

Yes.

You think I don't know our schedule?

You never know our schedule.

You've missed many meetings.

Wow, do we really have all this stuff coming up?

Yes!

This week we have a domestic question.

Ooh, you learned a new word.

I've always known the word domestic.

You just didn't want to do like its

own song and dance for domestic question?

This week we have a domestic deliberation.

Lindsey from Florida.

Why did you get a nose job?

Gaby?

I've never had a nose job.

I got offered a nose job from my mom

when I was in high school.

But I saw a picture of Gilda Radner and

decided not to get one.

Well that's a heart-warming story.

My story has a bit of a darker turn.

I'll take you back to a day in 2011?

2011.

2011.

Let me set the scene.

I'm driving in a parking lot with my mom,

and I make a joke because I like the way

the word rhinoplasty sounds.

I say: 'Should I get a rhinoplasty?'

So basically my mom didn't tell me

'No Allison, you're beautiful.'

Instead she said:

'I'm not going to tell you not to.'

By the time we left the parking lot,

my mom had admitted that it would soften

my features if I got a nose job.

Sure.

That's hard to hear.

I know people think you don't look

different.

I think you look incredibly different.

Incredibly different!

Yes.

Thank you.

I think you look very different.

Nothing is more upsetting to me than when

people say 'Oh you were offered a nose

job, why didn't you get one?'

So then I came home and I said 'Dad,

mom thinks I should get a nose job.'

And my dad, a very cheap man, immediately

said 'I'll pay for it.'

You had to get the nose job.

I had to get a nose job.

It's like if you have something stuck in

your teeth and someone points it out to

you, you can't go 'Oh, I'll keep this

here.'

Did your parents offer this because they

thought maybe it would help you be a

happier person, since you're so unhappy?

Yeah, of course. They've tried everything.

Didn't help, right?

I think it helped.

Really?

I'm glad I got a nose job, yeah.

It made you happier?

I think I'm more attractive.

That's not the question.

Well, I think the question is always 'Are

you more attractive?'

So what's the moral of the story?

The moral of this story is make sure they

don't make your nasal passageways too

small, because then you can't breathe.

It was 2010.

It was 2010? The whole time?

Yes.

Now that I'm thinking about it,

it was most definitely 2010.

Are we bad role models?

I think so.

Ok, good.
