We hit Austin's infamous Dirty 6th Street armed with a tiny microphone and way too many questions. From awkward encounters to unexpected wisdom, we're asking strangers everything from their bad habits to their ultimate "bad bitch" moves. From awkward pauses to unexpected answers, our attempt at the classic "Man On The Street" interview format is as real and unscripted as it gets.

How much money do red carpet interviewers actually make? Will Christy ever take a social media break? And which Giggly Squad host does Anneliese and Christy adore??
