The actress was especially fascinated by Tinx's viral "Box Theory," which the star explained had helped her immensely with ghosting situations and bad dates.
Per the theory, Tinx explains that when men meet you, they put you in a box indicating what they want from you romantically or otherwise. The host told her in response: "I'm hanging on to your words," describing her as "the big sister of TikTok."
Her advice certainly resonated with Drew, who made eye-rolling gestures and scoffed in agreement whenever her guest detailed dreadful dating situations.

She went on to hilariously reenact an exasperating first date, screaming: "Check! Check!" reliving her desperation to end it.
