Imagine you ask two people the same exact

0:05

set of open ended questions. Even

0:07

though they may start in the same place, their

0:09

answers will invariably go down entirely

0:12

different roads, depending on their experiences,

0:14

their environments, and the way they see the world

0:16

and beyond. But maybe there

0:19

are some common threads that tie us together.

0:21

I'm Mini Driver, and this was the idea I

0:23

set out to explore in my podcast Mini Questions.

0:26

I ask every guest the same set

0:29

of seven questions. Together, we

0:31

hear about the parts of their life that bring them

0:33

comfort, the questions that keep

0:35

them up at night, the moments when my life

0:37

changed direction, and how they

0:39

truly see themselves. From author

We had dated for about a year and a

0:47

half when my mom got sick. You

0:50

know, getting married was never really that important

0:52

of a thing for me, but I knew it was a

0:54

tremendously important thing for my mom, and that if

0:56

I ever got married and she wasn't there, it would

0:58

just destroy me. So we threw together

1:01

a wedding three weeks before my mother

1:03

passed away. I mean, I told him, well,

1:05

just get divorced if it doesn't work out,

1:07

you know, like we'll be like young

1:10

hip divorces.

1:16

beard and a clipboard.

1:18

That's how the clipboard

1:21

and all my imaginings of God.

1:23

He has a clipboard like people's name.

Not thinking about Santa,

1:30

you're conflating Santa and God to.

My dad dying was a big one

1:39

because I was there. You're not thinking

1:41

about how he pissed you all. You're

1:43

not thinking about he was an alcoholic. You're

1:46

just thinking about the fact that I loved him.

1:48

He was my father and he's

1:51

gone. It whittles life

1:53

down to absolutely the

1:56

essentials of really what makes

1:58

a wife? It leveled me.

2:01

And now I am excited to announce

2:04

many questions is coming back for a third season.

2:06

This year, we bring a whole new group of guests

2:09

to answer the same seven questions,

2:11

including actress and star

2:14

of the mega hit sitcom Friends, Courtney

2:16

Cox.

2:17

It takes a lot of bravery to end

2:20

something that has so much passion

2:22

or any kind of relationship.

2:24

It's so much easier just to stay and ride things

2:26

out and make excuses, and you can't go

2:28

around it, so you just go through it. This is a roadblock,

2:31

it's kind of catch you down the road. Go

2:33

through it, deal with it.

2:40

I shouldn't feel guilty about

2:43

my son's death. He died of a brain tumor.

2:45

But the sets of smell part

2:47

of my brain, the fight or flight part, is like, yeah, but he

2:49

died before you. It's your fault. You

2:51

did something wrong. You didn't dig

2:53

a whole miles under the earth

2:56

in Sweden to try to find a friggin

2:58

route that you could get essence

3:00

of to cure his cancer.

3:01

You didn't.

3:02

It's your fault, you know, And so you

3:04

need to know that you're going to feel

3:07

the guilt if your kid dies before you.

3:09

It's part of what happens when your kid dies. Intellectually,

3:12

you'll understand that it's not your fault, but you'll

3:15

still feel guilty.
