She falls into the “import model” category, generally speaking, and yet—well, just look at her. This is no ordinary import model you’re dealing with. Steph Ly is elite, one of a small handful of models who brings all the car-show boys to the yard. You know that friend you have who tells you he doesn’t “get” the Asian model thing? Steph Ly is the girl you show him and he’s like, Oh, ok, I get it now.

Steph’s official site is stephly.com—it’s very official-model-sitey. If you want more of the day-to-day, show-us-your-new-pictures-please Steph Ly bookmark her Tumblr (officialstephly.tumblr.com), her Twitter (@stephly), and her Facebook (facebook.com/stephaniely).

Enjoy Steph Ly, and remember that if she catches you staring at something south of her face just tell her you were admiring her collarbone and she’ll be thrilled. Right, that’s it. Girl’s got the kind of collarbone you cannot take your eyes off of.

A nickname I have had: “Brat”—I have no idea how I got that nickname. Just kidding, my girlfriend gave it to me a long time ago, I guess I can be bratty sometimes.

The worst movie I have ever seen (and why): I hated Notting Hill. I don’t remember much about it, but I hated it.

Please worship my: I actually love my collarbone area, ha ha. Feel free to stare.

Try not to stare at my: Feet! I hate feet, even my own. I’ve been trying to love them more but it’s a slow process.

I would rather have a root canal than: I actually have had a root canal before, and I really didn’t think it hurt at all. So I’d actually rather have a root canal than a lot of things.

Sex is: Awesome—and essential—to any good relationship! You just have to change it up and keep it exciting!

My greatest weakness: Sugar! I looooooooooove sugar! I’m constantly eating or snacking on something sweet.

Food that turns me on: Big, juicy, rare steak, with truffle mac ‘n cheese on the side. Just thinking about it makes me drool.

Something cool about having boobs: Everything is cool about having boobs. They’re great to look at and to play with!

I cried unnecessarily the day: I’m a woman. I cry unnecessarily often.

When I throw a party I make sure to have: I think the answer for this is booze, right? And good people of course.

The funniest comedian is: Chelsea Handler! I’m obsessed with her, I love her attitude.

People tell me I look like: The Asian girl beside me.

I’m too sexy for my: Pants. I wish I never had to wear pants.

I wish people would stop Tweeting about their: Relationships—keep that stuff private!

When I was 8 years old I thought I would be: A veterinarian. I still want to be that.

Stay out of my way when: I’m tired. I’ll rage!

I’ll let you know I’m feeling frisky by: Telling you.

I am completely freaked out by: The junk in the sink drain. Makes me think I’m gonna puke.

The most unpleasant word or phrase in the English language is: Cunt.

A type of ladies’ underwear I don’t enjoy wearing is: I hate booty shorts! I’ve always hated them—they ride up and they just don’t flatter my body.

The most exciting thing I did today was: I went snowboarding! I loved it! My body is still sore from it, but I think I’m hooked!

My secret weapon: I can’t tell you or it wouldn’t surprise you when I use it.

My backup career if this whole “being pretty” thing doesn’t work out: I love animals, so I will be opening up my own grooming business soon. I’m super excited to spend my days around dogs!

On the worst bender of my life, I was drinking: Vodka. It’s always been vodka! And I’d gladly tell you the stupid things I did—if only I could remember them!

The best thing I learned from an ex-boyfriend was: Not to take shit from guys!

A grown man should not: Let me re-phrase that: A grown man should treat his woman like a princess!

What makes a good #FriskyFriday pic? Miss May 2010 Kassie Lyn Logsdon gives you her tips here! If you want to win, it’s a must-read.

MAN CRUSH: BLAKE GRIFFIN

It’s rare that something as common as making a basket in the middle of a game can be the talk of the sports world for days.

But Blake Griffin is also super rare. He’s a beast. His dunk over Kendrick Perkins was pretty much the dream of everyone who ever grew up watching basketball (and still the dream for 5’10” writers who can’t dunk).

Griffin took off from the edge of the paint, made serious contact with Perkins, changed directions, brought the ball back pretty much as far as humanly possible, and – still feet away from the hoop – threw down all over poor Perkins.

It was a dunk we’ll always talk about. All you’ll have to say is Griffin/Perkins, like it was some famous Hamilton/Burr duel, and everyone will know what you are talking about.

But it didn’t stop there. In fact, it only got better.

Apparently being dunked on that hard made Perkins give up on his social life. After the dunk, he deleted his Twitter account (@KendrickPerkins). This is so awesome. And it actually made me like Perkins more, a guy who is a solid player and very good defensively. But apparently he didn’t want to spend the rest of his life being reminded of The Dunk. He was clearly rattled standing on the blocks for the foul line. But this takes it to a new level.

So this week, Blake Griffin, you are the Man Crush of the Week for displaying such great athletic skill you actually ruin a man.

DOUCHEBAG: ALEXANDER OVECHKIN

In 2008 I went to a Washington Capitals game in D.C. and Alexander Ovechkin put on the single most dominant performance I’ve ever seen from an athlete. He was everywhere, being physical, clearly showing more talent than anyone else on the ice at any moment. It was awesome to see.

So flash forward four years and Ovechkin is pretty much a shell of what he used to be. I took him with the second pick in my fantasy hockey draft (I clearly have problems) and he has been nothing but a disappointment.

So when he was suspended three games for a hit and the All-Star Game happened to fall in the midst of his suspension, he decided he would skip the game and go cry to himself about his unfair life was since he was already suspended.

Just a few years ago, Ovechkin was the face of hockey. He was everything good about it. Now he’s skipping things he’s honored for because he’s too upset about getting in trouble. And even more telling is that no one cared too much he was missing the game. He’s fallen that far.

I won’t defend the All-Star Game as anything but a joke, but the NHL is in need of stars with Sidney Crosby perpetually injured (and constantly discovering new injuries). It should be Ovechkin. If I were the league, I would have been pretty upset at him. Reportedly his sponsors were. But this was sort of the final straw in Ovechkin’s chance at being regarded as something special still. It’s clear he doesn’t care and in turn, people don’t care about him anymore.

At least he can fall back on his rap career.

IT WAS AN EXCITING WEEK AT THE MINI MANSION as we made our Playboy TV debut Monday morning! To help launch us into your TV set was sexy Playboy Cyber Girl of the Week, Jillian Sheen! The brunette beauty likes to be dominated in bed and will occasionally use a vibrator during sex. She gave us a new sex myth for us to bust about women being more orgasmic while wearing socks. Hmmm guess we’ll just have to test that out! Oh and don’t worry guys, even though she doesn’t like giving BJ’s she’s all for substituting them for another girl to join in! Turn ON!

Our POWER HOUR on Playboy TV launched with Comedy’s Central’s Keegan Michael-Key and Jordan Peele in the Mini Mansion. They joined us to help coach our Playboy Models in a little game we like to call… Punt, Pass and Tits! Before our gorgeous girls walked in studio, we found out that Keegan’s nickname used to be “Keagal.” Since Jordan wasn’t a 100 percent sure what keagals were, Andrea gave a very detailed explanation of the exercise.

Now onto Punt, Pass & Tits! Representing the New York Giants was the gorgeous Jamie Lynne and representing the New England Patriots was the sexy Megan Curry! These lovely ladies tested out their football “a-jiggle-y” with challenges like Tittie Pass and Catch, Erotic Touchdown Dance and Hike and Dike. Both girls did extremely well but in the end it was the NY Giants represented by Jamie Lynne who won with a last minute Panty Field Goal!

Playboy Playmate Miss January 2010, Jaime Faith Edmondson, checked in with us Tuesday morning to give us an Indianapolis update for the big game and the big Playboy party happening Friday night. Be sure to listen in to Playboy Radio Friday night as Jaime broadcasts LIVE with fellow Playmate Pilar Lastra at the Playboy Party in Indy!

We were so excited Tuesday as it was the return of Skin to Win! Our beautiful Playboy models Hazel Lee, Cody Renee and Bodhi LaVey joined us in the Mini Mansion to flash us. We asked the questions and these lovely ladies had to flash us an answer with a body part. None of the answers was going to be arm or leg.

Super gorgeous Playboy Cover Girl Leeann Tweeden joined us in studio Wednesday morning to show us her lingerie collection by Elegant Moments! Now what’s lingerie without a hot girl modeling it for you! So we brought in sexy models Caitlin O’Connor, Kady Green and Lauren Volker to show you just how great Leeann’s Lingerie Line is.

Playboy Playmate Sasha Bonilova also joined us Wednesday to campaign for the Playmate of the Year. Our members of the press… Leeann Tweeden, Caitlin O’Connor, Kady Green, Lauren Volker, Kevin and Andrea… all took turns asking questions to PMOY candidate Sasha in our Playmate Press Conference. Sasha did very well as our members of the press asked the hard hitting questions like… How did she find out about Playboy in the Ukraine? And what kind of pubic hair trend would she like to start if she becomes PMOY?

We had a jammed packed show Thursday! The infamous Katie Morgan joined us in the Mini Mansion bright and early and we didn’t mind one bit. In her very sexy voice, she told us that her most memorable sex scene was when her hair got stuck in a mattress! She had no problem cutting her hair and getting a new hair style so she could continue her scene. What a trooper! Good thing too especially since she likes talking about sex just as much as she enjoys having sex.

We celebrated Super Bowl with our very own Super Sweet Tale-Gate Party Friday morning! We even got Playboy Bunnies to call in from the Playboy Club in Macao, China to help kick off our festivities. Yes, we know China doesn’t celebrate for the Super Bowl but they do celebrate the Year of the Dragon! The best way they celebrate, is by kissing each other. Isn’t that sweet!

Playboy Playmate Miss January 2012, Heather Knox, checked in with us to provide us with some Indy insider information for the big game this weekend. Since she is a native of Indianapolis, she was the perfect beauty to fill us in on all the craziness that is taking place out there this weekend!

Our tailgate wouldn’t have been complete without beer! So we had our official Sexy Mixologist Heather Storm join us in the Mini Mansion to mix us up BEERMOSAS!!! Heather made some delicious concoctions using Deschutes Brewery beers …

Giant Alemosa

12oz Deschutes Brewery Mirror Pond Ale

1oz Fresh Grapefruit Juice

Juice of ½ Tangerine

Garnish w/ a Tangerine Rind

Patriot Porter Float

12 oz Deschutes Brewery Black Butte Porter

3-4 Dashes of Angostura Bitters

1-2 Scoops Vanilla Ice Cream

Dash of Cinnamon

Dash of Nutmeg

To make sure our Super Sweet Tale-Gate was complete with food, Andrea got down on her needs for a fun round of “Put Your Meat in My Mouth!” One at a time, our sexy mixologist Heather fed Andrea … Duck, Rattle Snake, Rabbit, Buffalo, Chicken & Veggie meats. Since Andrea received the meat with her eyes closed, she had to determine which meat was which. YUM! She was so good that she named 5 out of 6!

After the beer and meat, our tailgate was still missing something … That’s right tailgate games! We had four hot girls in studio to recreate the infamous “are you ready for some football” commercial of two helmets colliding. Sexy Allison Sky allowed us to paint her beautiful boobies with helmets for the Patriots and Giants while Nikki, Dawn and Shannon provided us with our “tails.” Click here to see our commercial!

From painting titties to some Rear Pong action! That’s right the cup has a body part & the ball has an action! With every ball the girls toss into a cup they have to perform that action on the opposing player. Shannon sucked on Nikki’s ear; Nikki licked Dawn’s stomach, etc. and since Allison & Shannon both missed their shots, they had to take off their tops! We loved every minute of this game!

The big game is happening Sunday, and you know what that means — companies are going to waste really amazing amounts of money trying to get you to buy things. The big boys in recent years have been GoDaddy, with Candice Michelle, Jillian Michaels, Vanessa Rousso and Danica Patrick, and Carl’s Jr., whose hot babes-on-burger action has featured Paris Hilton, Audrina Patridge, and Kim Kardashian.

This year? Well, Carl’s Jr. has Kate Upton, so it’s hard to see how that won’t be the hottest ad. But the burger boys aren’t releasing their commercial beforehand; all we have is this one picture (above, and below) of Kate doing the hot beef ingestion. Here’s what we can bring you: Two GoDaddys, two Adriana Limas (for different products) and a random Kim Kardashian video.

GoDaddy, “The Cloud”:

GoDaddy, “Body Paint”:

The making of Teleflora’s Adriana Lima spot:

Kim Kardashian trying to worm her way back into our hearts after this whole marriage debacle. Ah, hell, we’ll give her another chance. Plus, nothing goes with professional sports and the foolish wastage of money like a Kardashian.

Here’s Kate, same picture as above but with 400% more paper bag:

THROWING A LITTLE SUPER BOWL SHINDIG AND DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SERVE? A Fear Factor-style barf-fest fete is surely never out of style. TSJ’s top suggestions below. Remember, everything gross is considered a delicacy someplace.

Here’s Captain Beefheart circa 1968.

1. BEEF HEART

Put some heart into it: The old bovine ticker’s a good source of protein and iron. There’s a bazillion recipes on the net. Actually it’s way more normal than most things Fear Factor. So eat up.

Swimming in blood is so unnecessary.

2. CHICKEN FEET

Inspired by the Couples’ Fear Factor, Episode 416, Season 4, where ladies had to lie in a plexi-glass covered tank and be swarmed over with rats while their dudes bobbed for chicken feet with their teeth, TSJ suggests the classic chicken foot dinner. Recipe here.

Here’s a girl freaking out about eating chicken feet on an Asian TV show.

3. BULL TESTICLES

Nothing puts hair on your chest like mawing gonads. In honor of Fear Factor’s Season 1 Episode 104 that involved bellying up to the counter and chomping some testicles, ask your butcher to fill a scrotum sack full of torro testes for you. Folks in the prairies like their balls fried, and it’s true most fried things are good. Just call your dinner Prairie Oysters (or Rocky Mountain Oysters).

Bar nuts.

4. DONKEY SEMEN

This is where you cheat, because seriously. I would never make you swallow donkey spunk. And anyway, Fear Factor just pulled that show off the air (twins guzzled donkey semen for nothing?!). So it’s okay to go halfsies here. And after all that organ meat, you’re going to need some booze. Here’s the recipe for a drink that looks funky but is really just coconut rum, sour mix and soda. Bottom’s up.

Best line: ”What I ended up doing was vomiting in my glass, and just drank that.”

MY FAVORITE GRANDMA, Hilda, was a sweetheart. She was also a teetotaler. Huh? She did not partake of the booze. Ever. She only drank alcohol once in her life, and it was by accident. She thought she was drinking apple juice that went a little off. Yeah, it was white wine. If she wasn’t my grandma and if I hadn’t been a baby, I would totally have said: SUCKA! But she was and I was and I didn’t.

Five things to do on February two.

1. PLAY THIS.
Half-read the list with the Sonny and Cher tune playing in the background and get flashbacks Re: how awesome Bill Murray is in this movie and consider how much I would totally switch places with Scarlett in that movie with the underpants.

Okay so it’s playing. Good.

One down, four to go. Here are more groundhog-themed things to do today, on the only day that combines anthropomorphic rodent appreciation and seasonal affective disorder.

2. RIGHT? SEND A CARD.

Send a Groundhog Day card. Everyone digs a rodent face stuck on paper, or getting a cheerful fucking e-card via mass email. Click. Click. There. Your momma knows you love her, now.

3. EAT THE GROUNDHOG.

Groundhog just said six more weeks of winter. Shut that rodent up. Cook the fucker. Shower him with condiments. Plus girls dig roadkill. True fact. You can look up from the chewing and say, “It’s a little gamey, babe.”

4. BE THE GROUNDHOG.

Feel like you were wrongfully assigned your human identity? Should have been born a groundhog, right. You’re not alone. So be a fucking groundhog. Suit her up and make it with your new-found furry mates like you’re a couple of woodchucks. Hawt.

5. BURROW.

Hunker down at home and watch Bill Murray in Ghostbusters, Where the Buffalo Roam and, of course, Groundhog Day. Seriously. Do that.

So you will have to pardon us if every time we bring up Krystle Lina’s photography we go off on our mini-crush on Krystle herself. Yes, our friend Krystle has sent us a batch of her latest work, photographs of a very beautiful model named Jennifer Gonzalez. Krystle is a Playboy model turned Playboy Radio–and Smoking Jacket–photographer. She looks like this:

Clear on that? And then this is the model Krystle shot, Jennifer Gonzalez:

THERE’S MORE TO THE SHORTEST MONTH OF THE YEAR THAN VALENTINE’S DAY. There are dead Presidents selling cars and mattresses. And other stuff. We’ve pulled together a list of our top ten things to enjoy this February 2012.

1. BOOST-YOUR-SELF-ESTEEM MONTH

You fucking rule. We believe in you, and not just because it’s International Boost-your-self-esteem Month. According to the mysterious governing body that can make such decisions, February is time for one long self-administered ego massage. It’s time to channel your inner Stuart Smalley. Fill your month with daily affirmations on just how awesome you are, because “You’re good enough, you’re smart enough, and doggone it, people like you.” Right.

2. SUPER BOWL XLVI

With what we imagine will be enough red, white and blue fan support to choke Yankee Doodle, this year’s Super Bowl matchup will be an all east coast affair. The New England Patriots take on the New York Giants at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana on February 5, and it promises to be chock full of excitement. In addition to the rematch drama potential and the always heated “Boston-New York” rivalry, the game also pits supermodel boy toy and aspiring dancer Tom Brady against everyone’s favorite lesser celebrated son, Eli Manning in a quarterback showdown that should make up for the tedious commercials featuring babies we will undoubtedly have to suffer through.

3. KISSES ON THE BOTTOM

Kisses on the Bottom, Paul McCartney’s curiously titled solo album is set to drop on February 7. His first album in nearly five years, Sir Paul gets by with a little help from his (celebrity) friends. “My Valentine”, the first song released from the album, features Eric Clapton on guitar. Stevie Wonder is slated to appear on another album track, “Only Our Hearts”. Oh, and in case you’re wondering about how the album came to be titled “Kisses on the Bottom”, you can yank your mind out of the gutter. The phrase comes from the album’s lead track “I’m Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter,” the 1935 Fats Waller hit, and refers to adding kisses to the bottom of a letter.

4. ANNUAL WORLD LUGE CHAMPIONSHIPS

In the arena of punch line worthy sports, this year’s World Luge Championships will take place February 11-12 in Altenberg, Germany. So you’re interested, but kind of concerned the sport’s been compromised by performance-enhancing drugs? No worries. The International Luge Foundation devotes an entire section on its website to anti-doping policies. What’s most curious to us; just what type of drug you ingest to enhance your ability to lie on your back and slide down a hill? Unless the said drug somehow greases up your ass.

5. STAR WARS: EPISODE I – THE PHANTOM MENACE IN 3D

George Lucas has found a way to wring even more money out of his Star Wars franchise. On February 10, Jar Jar Binks and Co. will appear in a theater near you enhanced with 3D technology. This debut is the first of what is planned to be a 3D release of all six Star Wars movies over the next few years. Moviegoers will have to be content with a repackaging of old content. Still stinging from complaints about the lackluster prequels, Lucas has declared he’s taking his (merchandised) toys and going home by promising to never make another Star Wars movie. Take that Fan Boys.

6. GRAMMY AWARDS

Finally! Not that we thought it needed one, but  for the first time in seven years the Grammy Awards ceremony will have an official host. Rapper and NCIS: Los Angeles regular LL Cool J is set to be the Master Ceremonies for the 54th Annual Grammy Awards. This year’s event takes place on February 12 at L.A’s Noki Theatre and will include live performances by Rihanna, Coldplay, Kelly Clarkson, Foo Fighters, Bruno Mars, Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift.

7. GRAND OPENING: MOB MUSEUM

Leave it to Las Vegas to turn organized crime into a cultural event. For those of you looking to do more than gamble and carouse when you visit Sin City, the new Mob Museum opens February 14 in the heart of downtown Las Vegas. Curated to tell the story of both gangsters and law enforcement, the museum features iconic artifacts from mob history including the brick wall from the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre and the barber chair that Albert Anastasia was murdered in. The Valentine’s Day grand opening coincides with the 83rd anniversary of the infamous Massacre, considered one of the most significant days in Mob history, during which seven men affiliated with the Bugs Moran gang were murdered by the South Side Italian gang led by Al Capone.

8. RICKY GERVAIS’ NEW TV SERIES

“Life’s Too Short“, a faux- documentary style situation comedy about “the life of a showbiz dwarf” makes its HBO debut February 19. The show is written, directed, and executive produced by professional award show gadfly and creator of “The Office”, Ricky Gervais. In addition to occasional Gervais appearances, viewers can expect a parade of high-profile guest stars including Johnny Depp, Sting, Liam Neeson, Helena Bonham Carter and Steve Carell.  So let’s see. Mockumentary style. Check. A slew of celebrity cameos. Check. Giving Brits a first taste of the new product. Check. Gervais is following the formula for success he found with “The Office”. But who can blame him?

9. THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE

For those of you willing to make the trip to the southwest and away from your grasp on reality, the International UFO Congress is meeting February 20-26th in Arizona. The annual event is the largest UFO conference in the world. Attendees from all over the world converge to swap abduction stories and purchase alien themed knickknacks from conference vendors.  More shocking than the elaborate government cover-up, the darling of the hipster crowd, Pabst Blue Ribbon is a proud sponsor of the event. True believers and skinny jeans together at last.

10. LADIES PICK

Leap Day. It shows up once every four years, making the least endowed month a little longer and giving spinsters a shot at marital bliss. What?? February 29, once referred to as “Bachelors’ Day”, signaled the one time where women were allowed to propose marriage to men. A bit of outdated thinking? Perhaps, especially since it appears that gals aren’t waiting out four year intervals to pop the question. One study suggests one in ten women have proposed to their partners. But the same study says 75 percent of dudes wish their partners had beaten them to the punch. Moral of the story? Best stay in today. Alone.

TO CELEBRATE WEDNESDAY, and February, and taking a crap, here are 4 toilet videos. The first one’s docu-style. The others are more nostalgic.

SQUATTERS’ RIGHTS: MEET MR. TOILET

BAD CASE OF THE RUNS

LET ME HEAR YOU SHIT

SEAT’S UP

DO YOU HAVE THE BALLS TO TALK TO A SHARK? No you don’t. You know who does? TSJ’s intrepid reporter, Melissa Bull, does. Bull strapped on her wetsuit and dove deep underwater to interview the stars of  2-Headed Shark Attack, Gemini (and Gemini), the 2-headed shark. Gemini, or Gemi (pronounced “Jimmy”), though separate entities, share the same name. The twosome proved surprisingly affable.

The Smoking Jacket: Hi Gemi.

Gemini: Can you address us as two separate sharks?

TSJ: I thought I was?

Gemini: You were looking sort of left when you said hi.

TSJ: I’m sorry about that. So, when you—when the two of you were growing up, did the other sharks tease you because you were different?

Gemini: At first.

Gemini: Because we’re special.

Gemini: We’re twice the shark everyone else is.

Gemini: That’s what our momma taught us.

Gemini: After we hatched from our embryonic sac she told us.

Gemini: Of course we’re less water dynamic than single-headed sharks. But we have good peripheral vision.

Gemini: And we communicate telepathically.

TSJ: So Gemi—what’s Gemi thinking right now?

Gemini: Gemi’s stoked about getting interviewed for Playboy.

Gemini: It’s true.

Gemini: He’s thinking something else.

Gemini: Don’t tell her.

Gemini: But I can’t tell you what else he’s thinking.

TSJ: And listen, I respect that. So were you guys excited to be in a movie?

Gemini: We thought we’d be relegated to the freak industry, so it’s great to break into Hollywood.

Gemini: Yeah, it’s great. The industry’s cool.

Gemini: We really have to credit our agent for fighting for us so hard to get the role.

TSJ: Did you wish Carmen Electra had been cast as a veterinarian in 2-Headed Shark Attack?

Gemini: That would have been good.

Gemini: She’s sexy!

Gemini: She signed our dorsal fin with lipstick kisses.

Gemini: It washed out.

Gemini: We want her to use waterproof lipstick next time.

TSJ: Are you guys methody about acting?

Gemini: We’re pretty experienced with swimmers so it wasn’t a stretch.

TSJ: Speaking of which, everyone thinks sharks are mean and scary. But when it comes to cruelty, what’s the difference between nature and nurture?

Gemini: We were raised right. Like to respect the planet and stuff.

Gemini: I like to say a little grace before I kill a life.

Gemini: No he doesn’t.

Gemini: You don’t know what I’m thinking.

TSJ: I thought you said you were telepathic.

Gemini: Are you talking to one or both of us? I feel like you’re not treating us like individuals.

TSJ: I’m sorry.

Gemini: We’re only telepathic sometimes.

TSJ: So what’s a typical dinner night out for the two of you?

Gemini: I’m more of a plankton man, but Gemi here really likes chowing down baby seals.

Gemini: Sometimes we compromise.

Gemini: Like we’ll eat a baby seals with kelp on the side.

TSJ: Was it hard not to snack on the actors while you were shooting?

Gemini: Our agent made sure we could eat a few extras before every shoot.

TSJ: Any word on a sequel, say 3-Headed Shark Attack?

Gemini: Dude this isn’t a carny act.

Gemini: Acting is a craft.

Gemini: It’s a passion.

Gemini: Ladies dig it.

TSJ: So do you guys have a girlfriend?

Gemini: That’s another misconception. We don’t share women.

Gemini: We will neither confirm nor deny our involvement with Carmen Electra.

Gemini: You’re pretty.

TSJ: Thank you.

Gemini: Do you have a boyfriend?

TSJ: Can I just get both your brains on the interview?

Gemini: Okay.

Gemini: What.

TSJ: There’s some controversy about the fact that all the actors are running around in skimpy bathing suits throughout the film. How do you feel about all the semi-nudity in the movie?

Gemini: Pretty good about it.

Gemini: Less flossing.
