    COOL PEOPLE DOING COOL SHIT 06: Hannah Sullivan and Jeremy Verwys

    Dancer/therapist Hannah Sullivan and her partner Music Teacher/Music Therapist/Guitar Virtuoso Jeremy Verwys join Seth in their living room to talk about movement, music, mental health, and the Venn Diagram of the overlap between those three. Hannah gives her opinion on the enneagram, Jeremy is willing to say on camera how much he loves Bruce Hornsby, and Seth tells how AC/DC's Back In Black makes him have a particular taste in his mouth. Seth asks them how they balance their relationship and home life with both of them being creatives that requires a lot of time away from each other, but it turns out they have one of those boring, healthy relationships so he failed in starting a fight.
