- Hey guys, it's Jordyn Woods.
- What's up everyone?
It's Karl-Anthony Towns.
- And this is...
- [Both] The GQ Couple Quiz.
- Oh my God.
[Jordyn laughs]
C'mon man.
- Where did I go to high school?
Are you serious?
- I can't remember the name though,
Oak Park.
- Yep.
- Okay.
Ooh, Oak Park-
- I'm just like this is-
- I was struggling, first question, Goddamn!
- When was my acting debut?
- Okay you're acting debut, you were four or five.
Will Smith was shooting a video
that was Men In Black inspired.
Jaden was supposed to do it
and he got scared last minute, to be in the music video
with his dad.
Will said, "You know, Jordyn, you know,
I think you could fill this part."
And you was down at four or five, and you said,
"You know what?
I'ma go get it done."
And you walked up there confident as hell,
you walked up right to Uncle Will and said, "What's up?"
- So you guys don't know what he's talking about.
I think I was about four, "Nod Ya Head" came out
and they were filming the music video.
Jaden and I were supposed to do it together,
but he thought that they were real aliens on set.
So, he was not willing to do it.
So I had to do it on my own.
And, you get the point.
- And look at you, you walked up there-
- [Jordyn] You get the point.
- You walked up there, all black too.
- What was my first runway show?
- I just know it was in New York, that's all I remember.
I don't know the brand, I don't remember.
- It was for Christian Siriano, in New York Fashion Week.
What TV show did my dad work on?
- Days of our Lives, and my personal favorite,
even before I knew you was, Fresh Prince.
- What is my favorite accessory or item of jewelry?
- I bought her this Chanel sparkly bag.
I don't even know how to...
I'm a man, so I'm just gonna say sparkly Chanel bag.
And I think,
even after I gave her, the Birkins and everything,
that's the bag you went crazy for.
- I love a good statement piece so...
Where did we go on our first date?
- It was during COVID when we got together.
- We were friends before.
- Yeah, I would say the first actual date,
going outside, and stepping out,
it was at COV Wayzata in Minnesota, we went to dinner.
- What is my morning routine?
- She's gonna have the alarm go off, to wake up obviously,
but she doesn't wake up.
I wake up and then I go, "Oh, okay, we gotta go."
So I start giving Jordyn some time, I'm like,
"Hey Jordyn, we gotta go."
She goes, "Okay."
And she goes right back to sleep.
So then I give her another five minutes,
then another alarm goes off and I say,
"Yo, we really gotta go!"
"Uh-huh, okay."
- That's sometimes.
- Goes back to sleep-
- That's sometimes.
- But God forbid!
God forbid, I get outta bed.
She wake up, "Where you going?"
- What am I most scared of?
- Nothing!
Other than scary movies you...
- Okay, I'm only scared of scary movies
because I'm a very visual person, and I remember images.
So I'll remember the image of the scary movie
at the worst time.
So, I choose not to put those images in my head,
but I am scared of,
being lost at sea.
If I could travel...
- Italy.
- Yeah.
- I know, trust me, you talk about this-
- Okay guys, the question was,
if I could travel anywhere in the world, where would I go?
- I didn't even need that to be finished.
I heard travel, that's all I needed to know, Italy.
- So Italy, if you're watching, if you're from Italy,
can't wait to get there.
- "Italy if you're watching," it's a person.
- If you're Italian-
- Italy's a whole person.
- If you're Italian, if you're from Italy,
in Italy, can't wait to see you.
What is my favorite restaurant, or type of food?
- Let me tell you something fans, man,
women change you man, women change you.
I ain't never had no palette like I got right now.
I ain't never thought about eating no raw sushi, raw fish.
I ain't never thought about that.
But here comes little old Jordyn Woods in my life,
and now all of a sudden, we gotta go to Nobu all the time.
And after about four times of going to Nobu
and not eating anything,
and only maybe having the fried chicken,
or the chicken teriyaki with rice, I finally said,
"You know what, let me try that yellowtail jalapeno."
And ever since then, it's changed my life.
- Let me tell you,
now Karl orders eight orders of yellowtail jalapeno.
This is like his go-to-
- No, no, no, but babe understand,
you changed my life for sure.
But that, that changed my life.
- So, yellowtail jalapeno, me.
We're growing, we're growing.
What was my first job ever?
- Brandy Melville, it was your first job,
you worked for,
a week.
And you were like, "Nah, this ain't it."
You know-
- I always wanted to get a retail job,
right when I turned old enough to get a job,
I wanted to get one.
So, got a job at Brandy Melville, folded clothes for hours,
and I remember I worked,
and at the end of the week I got my check
and it said 150, I was like, "This is not for me."
I'm still dreaming to work
at Starbucks though.
I just wanna see!
- Man, let's make that a reality, man!

- See, Libra/Scorpio duo is very feisty.
What was my best subject in school?
[Karl applauds]
- I could get the bonus point!
- There are no bonus points.
- I'ma cross my leg for this,
I'ma give you this great interview stance.
Your favorite was math.
You also, using that great math knowledge you have,
you really wanted to go to Stanford.
And you made an email, Stanford@gmail,
or something like that.
- It was Yahoo.
- Yahoo.
- And it was Stanford@14, 'cause I really...
From two years old-
- Damn, I knew I had it.
- From two years old, I always said I wanted
to go to Sanford, and I wanted to be a doctor.
And, as I got older, I realized I don't wanna go
to school for that long.
But, I still wanna go back to college
'cause I think it would be really cool.
- We did talk about going
to business school in the summer.
- I think I'm gonna do Harvard Business School but...

I'm like, "Man, if I get up there I told you I'ma nail it."
So my turn.
I'm excited.
I'm intrigued to see how this looks.

What does my ideal day off look like?
- Okay, so Karl's ideal day off would be,
sleeping in.
- That sounds beautiful already.
- Eating some chicken, with chocolate chip pancakes,
and then just probably chilling,
maybe,
playing some video games,
watching other people play video games on YouTube.
I don't understand why guys do that,
I don't get why watching someone else
play a video game is entertaining.

and I wanna play just like him and make my teammates better,
but also have my own flavor, and swag
where I could score, and rebound, and do everything so...
- He had a lot of versatility.
- Yeah.
And that's what I wanted to be, versatile.
I never wanted to be pinned down to just doing one thing.
So, man Magic, Len Bias is another inspiration.
But, Magic for sure.
Him, and my dad are the reason why I wear number 32.
What year did I get drafted?
- So, if you've been in the league about seven years,
that means you got drafted in,
2015.

It was the greatest time I had.
