So, what's your take? Having sisters is a complete advantage growing up as a guy.

100% agree. You get humbled from a young age really quickly. Like, I haven't eaten cereal in 10 years because my sister told me eating Froot Loops is a nick. Eating Froot Loops is an egg. It's true. She's right.

Oh, you can't have Froot Loops. You have skincare routines, you have lip balms, you get put on to everything, you have emotional support. Having a sister is like having a life hack.

It's free therapy. It's a cheat code.

You basically get humbled into a side character cuz you're never going to be the diva. Does it matter if it's an older sister or younger sister?

Both. For me, the older one teaches me a lot of emotional, you know, strength. The younger one really puts me in check. Bluntly, she tells me if I don't look good.

Wow. You know, you have to deal with that.

She's just like, "Up your game, bro." Yeah. Exactly. Up your game.

Yeah. Just figure it out.

And how about you? I have two younger sisters, but I think the fact that they're younger is like they always tell you you're how not cool you are. Basically,

Your chopped. You're chopped from an early age.

Your chopped uncle immediately immediately. Yeah. Chopped cheese. Chop cheese.

Also, you get exposure to all kinds of things. Like my sister says she's a witch.

Oh, it's like free relationship therapy. Is she a witch?

She says she's a witch. I have to believe it. Like, what am I going to do? What kind of witch is she?

Hopefully a positive witch. Is she a teenager?

No, she's not. The teenage witch.

Teenage. Teenage witch. Sabrina.

She just needs a cat. I think more guys could use sisters.

They also introduce you to astrology at an earlier age. So, you're not so triggered. You know, when the zodiac sign comes up,

When a girl's like, "Hey, what time were you born?" Yeah. We just call our sisters.

That's nice. Yeah. What signs are you?

I'm a Virgo. I'm a Libra. I'm a Cancer. I don't know what any of that means.

I think we all get along.
