Summary

Listener Brittany has a problem. No matter where she goes, strangers open up to her. She can’t get through the grocery store without a heart-to-heart.

Pixar character designer Deana Marsiglese performs a facial analysis; celebrity presentation coach Glenn Kinsey offers repulsive communication techniques; and herpetologist Dusty Rhoads has an extreme solution guaranteed to stop a conversation short.
