Topics
Olivia Munn: 我一直对某些声音和光线很敏感，这影响了我的日常生活。我记得小时候去看精神科医生，因为我在学校里很难忍受荧光灯。我的伴侣约翰很理解我，并且会保护我免受这些刺激。在开车时，我喜欢保持安静，或者重复听同一首歌，这让我感到舒适。我发现播客很有趣，但有些声音会让我感到不适。 Dax Shepard: 我注意到我的伴侣克里斯汀也有类似的感官问题，例如无法忍受同时播放两首不同的歌曲。我有时会担心这些问题会影响我们的生活。 Monica Padman: 我也有焦虑症，喜欢重复看同一部电影，这是一种常见的应对机制。

Shownotes Transcript

Olivia Munn (Your Friend and Neighbors, The Newsroom, The Daily Show) is an actor and advocate. Olivia joins the Armchair Expert to discuss accepting that a messy home with kids is not a sign of failure, the story of her family’s exodus from Vietnam, and the endearing best friend dynamic between her husband and her mom. Olivia and Dax talk about feeling powerful for other people by overcoming abuse at home, inventing her own language just so she could cheat in math, and not regretting sticking to her instincts despite its effects on her career. Olivia explains following the fragility of appearance in Your Friends and Neighbors, how life or death problems streamline your priorities, and why we so often spend our time in positions that are comfortable over those that are right.
