2006:
"Danica, have you heard of this movie A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints? I think we have something for the next issue: There's this actor in it named--"

2008:

2009:

"Danica, I've been trying to tell you for the last three years. We have a videotape of the year he spent as an exotic dancer."
"Ashley, I have a confession. I can't understand a single thing you say to me unless it includes the words 'Ryan Gosling' or 'Mochachino.'"
