      Requisite first date question if I was a woman:
      "Do you have a tiny penis"?
      Based on stories from women I know who've gone home with him on the first date because he was great and struggled to hide their disappointment (and sometimes laughter) when the chonies came off. Just ask ladies! If he lies then he's got two strikes right?

If you don't care about having children, don't hurry into something you will be sorry for. And yes, my Husband says "As soon as you're gone, I'm gone." And you know I wish he could go on with out me, because I love him.

      @@larissabechtle5690 not that rare, I'm at 21 years with my husband. It's about finding a friend. Lust fades, friendship endures. Have shared passions and hobbies and don't let others try to define your relationship. I'm sitting here at 12:07am waiting for him to get home from work so I can spend a few minutes with him before I have to go to bed for work. Seeing him is the highlight of my day. Even if it's stolen moments. I pray my son finds a wife who will want to lose a little sleep for a few minutes of laughter and I hope he's the kind of man who sets up the Keurig so she makes it to the work at a human being.

      Should John be alarmed, given your screen name?

    John Oliver and I both saw Prince for our first concert and at the same age! OMG!

    I love how Stephen Colbert looks genuinely embarrassed when John Oliver was singing. It cracks me up!

    I think it's refreshing to see how honest and open he is about his love for his wife! :)

    He remembers the key of "One Week" within like a whole step, even though John Oliver primed him with the wrong key (I had to check the recording). I was impressed by his musical abilities and that led me to an emotional interview, referenced on his wikipedia page. It's cool to learn more about him.

    Holy shit.
    First of all, was i ready for Stephen Colbert to bring up All Star by Smash Mouth? Absolutely not.
    Second of all, that final answer got me all teary-eyed. I wasn't ready for that it either.

    These two are completely on the same vibe. It's like two old friends with shared past references you don't get.

    One thing I like about Stephen's CZcams highlights is that unlike John's, I don't have to worry about whether or not they'll be available in my country... of Canada.

    Damn that's so cute what he said about his wife. Getting a bit teary because when he said that I was reminded of that interview with Keanu Reeves about death.
