Least favorite household chore, putting duvets in their cover.
2
Hi, I'm Breanne Howey, and this is Fold Factor with Good Housekeeping.
3
I will be up against the clock folding household items as fast as I can.
4
This is most people's nightmare.
5
If I don't finish in time, I have to answer some brutally honest questions.
6
Which co-star would you least want to share a trailer with and why?
7
How do you think you're going to do this?
8
I think I'm going to do all right at this.
9
I do love organizing, but not like timed organizations, you know?
10
But if I could have all day to organize any room in my house, I'd be in heaven.
11
In this first round, I have a bunch of silk scarves, and I have to fold them just like this one.
12
Can I see this one?
13
Wow.
14
Oh, God.
15
Okay, here we go.
16
We're going to lay her out like this.
17
We're going to do some.
18
I feel like it goes in a little
19
and then nope I'm not gonna get any of these let's
20
try again let's just keep going let's just keep going
21
because there's like a little pocket situation happening here I don't
22
know how they got the pocket maybe we go in and in and then like one more this way.
23
Nope, still no pocket.
24
Okay, let's try.
25
Let's just see if we can get a tuck on this last one.
26
My god, and they are beautiful scarves.
27
Okay.
28
Okay.
29
I failed the test.
30
So I will be answering this question.
31
What's one audition or role you passed on that still haunts you?
32
Oh my gosh, you know what?
33
I don't, I say yes to everything.
34
I don't pass on auditions.
35
I think it's really, really important, even if I don't think maybe I'm the right person for the role.
36
I have always continued to go in because I think A, it's really good practice.
37
I love getting to know any casting directors and who else could be on the team.
38
And even though if I'm not right for that role in particular, it could pay off one day later for a different role.
39
So I actually, I always go in.
40
Do you have a bad audition that still haunts you?
41
Back in the day, I was auditioning for a commercial.
42
It was this person's wedding day and she had to dance
43
and shake her booty a lot and spank her booty a lot.
44
And yeah, I'm still haunted by it.
45
I didn't book it.
46
Now I have some denim skirts here and I have to match this fold.
47
This is what I'm examining.
48
OK, this is, I think, a little more doable than the scarf, but I don't want to get too ahead of myself.
49
OK.
50
Also cute.
51
Like, who doesn't love a black denim skirt?
52
Is it something Georgia would wear?
53
Probably not, but something I would wear.
54
You know?
55
I don't feel terrible about that, but the weight, the weight.
56
Okay, let's see what we got here.
57
She's so cute.
58
This denim wash is more of a Georgia wash.
59
There we go.
60
There we go.
61
Oh my gosh.
62
It's happening, you guys.
63
It's happening.
64
Okay, one more.
65
Wham bam.
66
Thank you, ma'am.
67
Oh my gosh.
68
The fold doesn't match exactly.
69
It doesn't.
70
This is true.
71
There's variations here of these folds.
72
So I will be reading this question.
73
What was the most embarrassing thing to happen to you on the set of Ginny and Georgia?
74
It was our first cast dinner to all be together and I did get carded.
75
I was embarrassed and I whipped out my ID and then they gave me a glass of wine.
76
But everyone saw and paused and commented and made fun of me.
77
And now we have some fancy dress shirts that we will be folding into this beauty right here.
78
Okay.
79
You know.
80
It's like the question is more of what's happening with the arms, you know.
81
We match.
82
Nope.
83
Nope.
84
Let's go.
85
You know, I love a good hanger, right?
86
Okay, let's try again.
87
Let's see.
88
When I'm shopping and like picking things up out of a pile, and if I put it back, I feel terrible if it doesn't match the way all of the employees have laid them out.
89
And I always do try to put them back that way.
90
Ah!
91
Damn.
92
Okay.
93
I feel like I have this shirt also.
94
Okay.
95
Woo!
96
Great.
97
Really, really close.
98
Okay, well, here we go.
99
You've starred alongside big names like Jack Black, Amy Schumer, Jason Bateman, Emma Roberts, and more.
100
Which co-star would you least want to share a trailer with and why?
101
Hmm.
102
I mean.
103
Jack Black lived in a lot of his set clothes, which cracked me up.
104
He always kept wearing the same devilish goat shirt, but I loved it.
105
Between Jack Black, Amy Schumer, and Jason Bateman, they would all make me laugh too hard.
106
And I feel like I wouldn't be able to make them laugh as hard as they could make me laugh.
107
So all three of them.
108
Okay, now I have a bunch of socks that I need to A, match and pair them together and then fold them like this beautiful item right here.
109
Origami.
110
Alrighty.
111
Let's see.
112
I thought these were peaches.
113
They're not, but close enough.
114
Let's see.
115
How the hell?
116
Oh my gosh.
117
Maybe it was like this.
118
Did you guys do something sneaky here?
119
Nope.
120
Let's try again.
121
Okay.
122
What about the, oh, these are peaches.
123
Okay.
124
Oh, I keep, I keep wanting to fold them how I do it.
125
Okay.
126
I wonder if they kind of go like, uh, nope.
127
Okay.
128
Let's see.
129
Also not how you do it.
130
What is one celebrity encounter that left you disappointed and why?
131
I was just at Tudum with Netflix and I got to see Adam Sandler
132
and his wife Jackie and I was disappointed that they couldn't continue hanging out with me afterwards.
133
Because they are the loveliest human beings.
134
Now I have a fitted sheet
135
that I must fold into this beautifully conformed fitted sheet that I have no idea how they did.
136
This is most people's nightmare.
137
Here we go.
138
Okay.
139
Sometimes, I think, you gotta like make it into more of a rectangle, right?
140
We got a little plastic surgery here.
141
Change the shape in as flat a way as possible.
142
Look, now we kind of have a square.
143
I'm gonna hold her in here, hold her in here.
144
Like if you just...
145
One of these things is not like the other.
146
Okay, so I will be reading the next question.
147
What is one scene while you were shooting where you couldn't stop laughing?
148
This season, there's a Lifetime movie made about Ginny and Georgia.
149
It's one of the most hysterical things I've ever read.
150
And while we were shooting it, they had the actual footage of the family they cast as Ginny, Georgia, and Austin.
151
They made me tacky.
152
Inspired by a true story.
153
They made me white.
154
Tony and I could not keep it together.
155
It was one of the best days.
156
This final round is a rapid fire round.
157
I will be putting this duvet into this cover while answering a speed round of questions, so please wish me luck.
158
Okay, here we go.
159

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
