Quotable
JS: If you had to watch porn, what would it be and why?
RJ: [Laughs.] Oh, God, I was saying the other day actually that the equivalent of what a strip club does for guys, for women would be a bunch of girls going to a place and having a guy make them laugh a lot and then tell them that they're really hot. That does the same thing to us that porn does to guys.
