Hi guys! I am Sasha Pieterse.
And I'm Janel Parrish.
And this is First and Last.
Why did I move that way?
I'm not sure.
Well, I don't know but I loved it. I loved it.
Okay, my first celebrity crush was Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic.
I loved the way you said that. I mean, just a little cutie with his dimples!
He was a little, he was really cute. Jack Dawson!
I feel like if I say a celebrity crush, I'm gonna end up working with them, and how awkward is that, so I've never...
I would love to work with Leonardo DiCaprio.
Well, yeah, that's a great thing, right? I've never said my celebrity crushes.
First time I felt like I'm an independent woman was when we were shooting the PLL pilot. And I must have been 20, yeah,
Yeah, I think you were 20
-- I must have been about 20 years old and it was my first time going away to work on something where my parents didn't come with me. And I just remember being like...
It's a great feeling.
I am this strong, adult, independent woman. I'm travellin' across the country to go for work and I can get up and walk this city by myself and explore by myself and I felt like
It's a great feeling
I did feel like an independent lady, I did.
I remember that too. When I turned 18, on my eighteenth birthday, flew to Hawaii to do Hawaii Five-o and I was like yes, yes all by myself on an island. In paradise, these are some deep questions, I like it.
They are.
The first thing that I do in the morning is I call my dog, she lays by my feet but the second she sees I'm awake, I go okay and she comes and lays on my face and I pet her for about ten minutes.
I've got two Great Danes and in the morning, usually, it's before my alarm 'cause they're not polite. Levi comes over to my face and sneezes in it and that is how I wake up. Levi! She cannot wait for me to wake up to see her (laughing) and that's her first reaction is to sniff and sneeze in my face.
Oh no! (laughing)
But she's great
That's amazing
I love her.
The last time I gave dating advice was yesterday. (laughing)
That's amazing
I actually thought about this 'cause I can't relate, explain.
I think I feel like the dating climate right now is so difficult. I'm so thankful to be married. (laughing)
same. Not have to worry about it. It's hard.
It is , it is so hard. scary!
I think I might have given dating advice yesterday too
There we go.
And I think I said if you like him, go for it 'cause you'll regret it if you don't.
That's good advice
Thank you, yours too. We should have like our talk show. (laughing)
I'm bad at that in general I'm bad at standing up for myself I need to learn to be better at it.
No you're not
We've talked about this before because I always go to Sasha for advice, actually on life things and it's usually about me
I go to you too.
Learning a little bit better to stand up for myself and knowing that I can do it in a kind way. So I gotta think about the last time I did that, you go.
The last time I stood up for myself was a couple days ago, I stood up to my grandma, guys. I stood up to my grandma. She's great, I'll reenact it, I said, she'll never watch this, it's okay. I said please look at me and tell me you'll respect me and not take my doges out until we get home. She went, no, (laughing) I cannot promise you that
Oh!
And that was the end of the conversation 'cause what do you say after that?
She is sassy grandma.
She is sassy and I was like okay, well. (laughing) I dunno what's next.
The last time I knew in my gut that I was right, I did a beautiful roast for Easter and I was like temperature has to be 165 and he was like 170 or something, and I was like no, it's 165, search it and I was right.
My husband and I, we are watching the Haunting on Hill House and I looked to him and I say I'm not gonna spoil it for people, but I say a plot point and he goes no, and I go I feel it in my gut
in your gut, yeah.
And ten minutes later, it was so and I was right.
I love when we're right over our husbands.
Thank you guys, oh I choked (coughing) (laughing)
All right. I can't take it , you do it, I'm laughing,
Can we say it together? I'm dead, yes. I'm sweating I can't.
Thank you guys so much for watching our First and Last.
