[Bit 1]
So, my wife gets invited to this event for Women in Business.
Which is great, we're new in town and we need to get to know new people.
So but when she comes home, she's all fucking emotional and shit and I look at her and I like honey
It looks like you've been crying. Is everything okay? And like little best, you know, I'm not trying to be supportive here
I'm not trying like to win a point somewhere. So I mean she's just you know, it was so good
I mean these people just opened up and told their stories and it was so emotionally they went through such hardships
And I'm like, well, so I mean were you crying like all the time? He's like, no, no like two three times
"You're focusing on the wrong thing."
I'm like, "Well, did everybody cry?"
I mean, give me a sense of the mood here.
Like, did they cry less than you or more than you?
And she's like, "Well, the same."
And you know, then she starts looking at me
and realizing that, "Wait, hold on here.
"He's not trying to comfort me.
"Like, he's doing the math.
"And fuck yeah, I'm doing the math."
Like, there's 30 girls for one hour together in a room,
crying three, four times,
I fucking knew that's what they do all day long.
