This is my gift, our gift to you. All right, Dan, are you ready to get chopping? I'm ready, I guess. Okay, so I want to let you know that this topic came up because I wanted to make this conversation with Dan. Yeah, I'm a little scared, honestly. And I said, how about we do it while we're preparing the fruit for the school function? And what did you say? I said, I don't know if I can do two things at once, talk and chop. Because? Because I'm a man. So, enter our conversation topic for today while we are chopping and putting together these- Preparing, planning, talking, a conversation, the camera. I can't do these things. This is sick. That's four things all at once. It's a good test. So, our topic today is men versus women. Oh, versus. Yes. All right. Who is better at certain things? So- We do have knives. It's good. But that's for the food. So, while, before we talk about this topic, let's just, I need some skewers because I'm going to make some fruit skewers. We're making fruit skewers. I need a lot. Oh. Like- Here's one skewer for you. I'm going to need like a whole pile right here. All right. I'm just going to put stuff on them. Do you have any rhyme or reason to how you want it? Well, I was going to make half all fruits and half fruit and cheese. Okay. This is for teenagers, by the way. Okay. So- All right. We got- They're just going to be stuffing food in their mouth. Tons of grapes. Tons of cantaloupe. Yeah. Tons of pineapple. I need to chop the strawberries still. A bunch of strawberries. Everything's washed. And I need to chop the cheese. Okay. Chop the cheese. I'm going to just do the fruit skewers first. Okay. And it will be the easiest thing for me to do while I'm- I'm going to cut the oranges. Which will be the easiest thing for you to do at the moment. And I'm going to have to- Really focus? Really focus in on this. Our first- Thank God the pineapple is pre-cut. Okay. I have four true or false statements about men or women, and then we have a lightning round. One, two, three, four, five things that we're going to say who is better at blank, and we're going to say it- As in men or women, or you or me? Men or women. This is all stereotypes. By the way, this is all averages. Who knows? Like, we're just making this up off the cuff. Well, let us know in the comments- It's not scientific fact, for sure. If you agree or not. Okay. All right. Statement number one. I'm going to try to do something at the same time as you're talking to me. Statement number one. Men are better at driving. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Okay. Why? I can contest this, but why do you think so? Well, okay. Most men are better at driving. Okay. Well, why? Because men, on average, have better spatial awareness, as far as directions go. Okay. Also, men are a little more less likely to ... Man, I'm actually struggling to cut this and think. That's our question number two. Yeah. They're less likely to panic under pressure. Oh, okay. So, like, you know, you're driving, there's cars all around you. I think, in general, a man is less likely to freak out in that situation. Okay. Certainly, I'm a little biased, because my dad was the driver in my house, and I watched my mom drive, and my mom was always like, just panicking all the time, you know? Okay. Well, all of these answers, for us, are based on our personal experience. Yes. So, please take it with a grain of salt, whatever we say. Yes. Of course. I'm going to say, in general, men are better drivers, but there's a caveat, because I know some stats about this. Oh, you can't bring in stats. Yeah. Okay. So, what I heard ... Now, someone out there might contest this, but ... Ooh, these limes smell good. Yeah? Ooh. Ooh, fresh. So, what I heard is that, if we're going by car accident data, men get into more fatal car accidents, because they're doing dumb stuff, like driving too fast. Yeah, I wanted to take out teenage men from this equation. We're talking about the whole spectrum here. Yeah. So, men get into more fatal car accidents, but women get into more fender benders, because, in general, the idea was that women, if women are ... If it is true, and I think it is still, are the ones who are caretaking for children. Oh, you're blaming the kids, are you? Have you ever tried to drive with three kids in the car? Yes. And it's hard. There's always someone talking, look at this, I want this, what are you doing, why are you hitting me, what's going on? There's so much distraction going on that ... So, for me, to ignore the kids in the car is really hard, so I'm more likely to be distracted, I think. So, that's why women get into little fender benders, in my opinion. But, if it is just between me and you, you are the better driver. Oh, okay, thank you. I think you have a good sense of being aware of what's going on around you, on the road, despite what's going in your ears. Like, I can't listen to music, or a podcast, or the kids, or a conversation, and be a really good driver. I can drive, but I can't be a really good driver, because I'm like, my ears are busy listening, comprehending, taking it in. Yeah, that's so beautiful. Yeah, do you see these? Wow. And, if given the chance, the choice, when we drive, you drive, and I'm in the passenger seat. It's not a passive job to be in the passenger seat with kids, if you have kids, you know. Yeah, it actually drives me insane to be in the passenger seat while she's driving, not because she's a bad driver, but because there might be an expression that you've heard of, I'm a backseat driver. Backseat driver? Yes. Yeah. Even though you're not in the backseat. And that just means that I'll notice things on the road, and I'll have trouble not pointing it out to her. Watch out! Look over there! Oh, he's merging! Give him some more space! Ugh! I think every woman who has driven with a man has dealt with this situation before. And it depends. I mean, on a long road trip, I'll tone it down a bit, because I'll just be tired, or need to take a nap, or whatever. Yeah, but when you're in the passenger seat, and there's kids in the back. But then there's no break, yeah, when there's kids in the back. So you're caring for the kids. You're passing them snacks. You're passing them a book. You're trying to help them in some way. Yeah, I'd much rather drive. Yeah, I think, yeah, in general, I think we probably agree on that. I also think men probably just like driving more, on average. Yeah. Well, let us know in the comments if you agree. All right. Mm-hmm. Statement number two, true or false. Women are better at... Ah! No, just kidding. Women are better at... I'm okay! ...at multitasking. Oh, yeah, definitely. All these stereotypes are going to be true, aren't they? Well, we'll see. All right, let me think. Multitasking, yeah, I mean, it's very stereotypical. Is it because you can't think of the job? See, now I got... Yeah, I finished my... This is for a special tropical fruit punch. Oh. What was I thinking about again? Multitasking. Can you... No, I'm... Well, I'm particularly not a very good multitasker, so that doesn't help my case, but... Yeah, I think... Well, I've heard, I have not scientifically verified this, that women have a little more, like, cross-communication in their brain. You ever heard of this? Okay, I have not. And they sense more, on average. Sense, like... Like actual senses, like smell. Yeah, I've heard that. I've heard that that's also why, for example... There's more going on, like, all the time in a woman's brain. I get more overstimulated easily than you do. Can I wash my hands? Yes, please wash your hands. Can I move from that spot? That was my question. Yeah. I get more overstimulated than you do, and this might be, like, a personal preference difference thing, but, for example, when there's music on, like when I'm driving, or just when there's music on, it's hard for me to also have a conversation, because there's, like, two auditory things happening. Maybe that's just me. I'm the same, though. Okay. But when it comes to, like, childcare, there's a lot of multitasking that happens. Yeah. What, like, that... I think that's where the rubber meets the road, knowing, like, what every kid is doing at the moment, what I need to be doing, what needs to be done next. Like, this is a lot of coordination. I think it's sequential things like that, or organizational-type stuff. This is person-to-person as well, I think. Yeah. But, you know, I'm a teacher, and that's one thing that I struggle with. I'll forget some little details here or there about our schedule, and I'll have to rely on my coworkers. But it seems like the women, there's a lot of women teachers out there, they usually know that schedule, like, in more detail, or they'll recall it easier. Okay. So maybe, I think, well, the question... I have to, like, write it on a sticky note and put it on my glasses, like, right in front of my face. Is it a nature-or-nurture skill, though, to multitask? Well... Am I just better at multitasking because all my life I've been expected to juggle multiple things, or, like... I don't think so. Okay. Personally. Okay. Thanks for cutting these. You're welcome. Did I make them too small? No, I have some gigantic strawberries on there. Some kid's gonna be really happy, and then some little ones. Wait, does this relate, this... multitasking relate to, like, finding stuff in a refrigerator, or is that another question? No, um... Or is that directions? I did not add that because... Well, that's a good question, though. Let's add that at the end. Okay. Teaser. Okay, the next one is... Men are more competitive. Yeah, absolutely. Okay. I agree. I think men are more competitive, but why do you think that is? I feel like that's one of, like, the main differences. Okay. Why do you think men are more competitive? Uh... Because men compete with each other more often? Yeah, but they compete more often because they want to. Well, they want to compete, yeah. So what's the lay? Well, they have to compete. The base. Because they got to impress the ladies, you know what I'm saying? Oh. So you got, like, all the male birds trying to ruffle their feathers and make the female birds look at them? Yeah. Pretty much. Okay. But also, like, just by experience, you know, any game that I've ever played, uh, in general, men are going a little bit harder. And I'm thinking, like, board games, you know, or card games. I've found more men to care in those circumstances. I have an opinion about this. So I think that this is my personal experience. It might be different for other women. But I think I am always aware of how other people are feeling or, like, perceiving the event. I don't want to be... I don't want to make them feel uncomfortable. Now, I am competitive in some situations. I'm not, like, the least competitive woman. But I think women want other people to stay happy and be happy and be comfortable and not be too controversial or calling out someone. We're more likely to agree with other people or, like, agree with each other, like, pat each other on the back. I believe in psychology it's even called agreeable. Agreeable, yeah. I think, in general, women try to be more... Women maybe naturally are, or nature, nurture, whatever it is, are more agreeable. Yeah. That said, I have met some very competitive women. Absolutely. And also, like, you know, students that I teach in a middle school. Well, elementary and middle school. And some of those girls are very competitive. Yeah. So it happens. Women can absolutely be... Wow, this is quite the pineapple pizza. Women can definitely be competitive, but... It's also different things, too. I think as women post... Women as adults, I would say, like, are... Oh, we're talking about adults? I think are different than, like, teenagers and children. As adults, like, we are women now. We're not, like... I feel like... We are women! Yeah! That's what I always wanted my husband to say. But I feel like... I could do that nowadays. I'm a woman. There, I said it. It's true. Wow. Well, thanks for coming clean. So I feel like adult women are more agreeable than adult men. I think the... What can you say? The litmus test. What's the averages, you know? The least agreeable people I've ever met have been men. That's, I think, the litmus test. If you're thinking about a room of 15 people, someone says something, who is the most likely person to disagree with that statement in a room of 15 people? A man. And a woman probably has a lot of... Or most likely has a lot of ideas, a lot of thoughts, a lot of opinions about it. But the first person to speak up about it and show some kind of, like, negativity is most likely to be a man, in my opinion. I think, for me, one-on-one, I could be more, like, less agreeable. Like, approach someone, talk to someone. You're pretty nice. You're pretty nice, honey. She's very nice. Thank you. I think... Well, we kind of got off topic. Competitive is not mean. Yeah. Anyway, let's go to the next one. See, now I'm getting into other little details. Like, how can I cut this thing in a different way? So, the next one is, women are more organized. Oh, we kind of talked about this a little bit. Yeah, I think so. On average. Okay. Well, it kind of goes back to the multitasking thing. But, I don't know. I feel like this one could be 50-50. Pretty easily. Okay. And I'm just looking at my own personal life. I have a lot of students, you know. There's a lot of odd students at my school. Odd. I hope that they watch this and really love that you say that they're odd. They'd appreciate being called odd, most of them. Okay. And there's some pretty disorganized gals. I don't really think that one's gendered that much. Well, think about not 12-year-olds. Think about a 30-year-old woman and a 30-year-old man. Yeah, I guess usually, it's more likely for a woman to be more organized overall. I don't know. It could be social, too. Like, women tend to organize the schedule and who's coming over when and life stuff. Like, for me, and this is also personality, I have to go to work to get in an organized mindset. Like, when I'm at home, I'm just like, whoo, I'm at home. And then I go to work and I'm like, all right, now I'm getting in my laser focus. But this could just be me. Yeah, well, part of this thought for me was statistically, males... You check the statistics again? Well, I think this is kind of a commonly known thing. Statistically, males are more likely to have ADHD than women. Oh, is that right? And... I felt like that was common knowledge. Maybe it's not. Okay, maybe I'm wrong. Internet, check me out. Check it out if it's right or not. But I think part of ADHD is struggling with... What's it called when you're like trying to be... Executive function. That's the word, executive function. Struggling with... I've never looked this up before in my life. People like Dan, who might or might not be... I've never been formally diagnosed. Diagnosed with ADHD. Excuse me. I feel like this, the organized element of it, women... I'm moving on to cheese. Okay, you're doing cheese. Is that ADHD? No, that's great. Okay. I feel like women are generally more organized. It could be 50-50. But my gut says... Certainly my experience. I've met more organized women than men. Yeah. So how is it that women are... Men are more likely to be the CEO of a company? Because you have to be really organized for that, right? A lot of that is assertiveness too, though. Oh, okay. So maybe it's competitiveness? Yeah, competitive and... I mean, guys can be really organized. And like I said, I can even be organized... If you put me in the right circumstance. I just have to... It's almost like a... I can be organized and focused on one thing. ADHD? I'm more likely to miss the big picture. Or miss the other little details. I think that's exactly what I was saying. You can be really organized with one focused thing. And maybe that's... Cheese! Cue perfect timing. Oh, I just... But I... The moment that you say something... It's almost like I have this... The moment I say something? Say anything. Me? The moment you say anything. Personally? You know how in the movie A Beautiful Mind... Or in any kind of criminal detective movie or TV show... They have a clear board... It's a meme at this point. All the math and... All the things. Immediately, 30 things come to my mind. And I start organizing. We have to do this first, and this second, and this second. I have to tone down that voice in my head. And just like... Okay, are we just chatting about this? Or is it serious? Because my brain already jumped to 30 steps ahead. And sometimes that's good, but sometimes it's not. I think it can be helpful for getting stuff done. That's why you marry people like me. Marry people like me. Married a person like me. I think it's not helpful for reflection. So I'm trying to get better at reflection. Anyway, that's my personal stuff. It's not good for reflection, really? Yeah, because I don't spend time. I'm just organizing, and doing, and doing, and organizing. And I'm not thinking. That's for little cheese cubes. I organize those plates. I'm just going to throw the cheese on here for now. Okay. So now we have a little lightning round. Are you ready? Ready. Okay. The statement is, who is better at... And I'm going to say the thing, and then in three... Is it you or me, or is it just men and women? We're going to say men or women on three. Okay. Who is better at saving... Cutting the cheese! No. Who's better at saving money? Three, two, one. Women? I don't know. I have no idea. Saving money? Yeah. These ones are not so black and white. So some of these are the less stereotypical. Well, stereotypically, I feel like women are the ones who spend the money. Yeah. You are a uniquely cheap person, my dear. Well, it's not just saving money, though. Think about all the memes about ladies shopping and stuff. Yes. But I think in reality, women, because of the organization and the planning ahead, women have more... If we're thinking about the 30-year-old woman, just as in the middle of life, there's still a lot of life ahead. She has some experience, but not a lot of experience. That's why I'm just saying 30-year-old. I think the average 30-year-old woman is better than the average 30-year-old man... What a statement. ...at planning for the future financially and having a little nod of fear of like, oh, we need to save money. Oh, we need to have some security. Oh, I need to do this. That's my opinion. I could be very wrong. Stereotypically, you know, and it's a stereotype, but, you know, men make the budgets and then women spend it. I would say, okay, this is maybe based on my friends. The women I know buy the necessary items and the occasional unnecessary items, but men splurge on big things that could possibly waste a lot of money, like that fancy car or the whatever. I've certainly seen that. Yeah, so I think in that way, that's like how men and women spend differently. Like women make a lot of those smaller purchases out of necessity, maybe out of fun, go buy a shirt every now and then. But men might be more likely to waste like big amounts of money. Yeah. Maybe. I mean, probably. I don't know. I'm on the Internet saying this now, so. A man is more likely to buy a boat or a motorcycle or a car even. I know in our household, it's certainly true that I'm the spender. Yeah, even so, you're not. But I'm not a big, I'm not a huge spender like some people. Yeah, I think you're. And I'm always looking for the deal and all that. Compared to me, you're a spender, but that's not hard. Vanessa's ultimate frugal. I'm pretty frugal. Okay, the next one. Who is better at expressing emotions? Three, two, one. Women. Okay, so this one was kind of stereotypical. Why do you think it is that women are better at expressing emotions? Well, I think that women seek validation of their emotions more than men do. From other women? Women and their partner. Okay. But women as well. I'm pretty sure I even recently I looked this up because I had to teach something for middle school. And women way more go to each other and talk about their feelings. Men don't. We just, you know, go and hang out with the boys. Do you think that is a learned behavior? I mean, I'm sure it partly is. But I also feel like it's probably somewhat nature for a man to be more suppressed with his emotions. Because you don't want to be too, like, evolutionarily. If we're talking about, like, 50,000 years ago for humans. You don't want to be too forthright about, like, all your feelings. You don't want to look sensitive. You know, all this kind of stuff. And that is certainly, like, around men. Like, men don't want to look sensitive around each other a lot of times. It's kind of changing nowadays. Yeah. I'd say that's probably the main tension nowadays. Is that women want men to know about how to validate their emotions. How to express their emotions. All of that. Like, that's a value that women are seeking now in a man. And that's, like, a big evolutionary change, I think. Or, like, cultural shift, I think. Who knows? A hundred years from now, it might be very different. Yeah. I kind of, you know, part of me does believe a little bit men don't have to as much as women think they do. But, you know, I've certainly gotten some benefit from, you know, going to therapy and letting stuff out and whatnot. Like, that's a value. I just don't think, like, day to day, I don't think a man seeks it out or wants to or needs to. I have heard statistics here. It didn't just come from my brain. I read that after a breakup, statistically, it's harder for men. Because women, when they have something difficult going on in their lives, will reach out to friends and talk to friends and, like, process it more. And men have to culturally, nature nurture, I don't know, feel like they have to just be okay. I'm fine. But really, they're not fine. And there is something therapeutic in being sad with someone else. Or, like, getting it out a little bit, you know? Yeah. And the statistics. A guy usually has, like, one friend that he can talk to. I mean, one friend is great. I remember one particular time in my life, though, I had no friends. Aww. That sounds really pitiful. Yeah. I had just moved to a new city, and we broke up, and that was terrible. So you didn't even have me when we were dating? Yeah. Well, yeah, that's a long story. Yes. Years ago. Decades ago. Well, also, I think the clearest statistic is that the adult topic here, the suicide rate is highest for men. And maybe that's similar. I don't know if this is just me hypothesizing, but men don't have that outlet when they're going through hard times. They might not have that, like, vulnerability with other men to be able to decompress and, like, even say, I'm having a hard time. Like, to be able to not be a man, and I'm fine. Like, if you can be vulnerable with someone. But I also think men are more likely to do, like, a drastic thing. Well, maybe that's the competitive part. Like, the risk-taking. Okay, well. Anyways. Let's go to the next one. This video is getting a little longer than I thought. Okay, the next one is, who is better at fixing things? Fixing things? Physical things. The faucet's broken. A man. I agree. So I think women can do it. That's a stereotype for a reason. Yeah, I think women can do it. Can they? I haven't seen you try. Not very often. So I think certain things, stereotypically, women fix. I think women fix problems all the time very well. They certainly try to fix people, don't they? Daniel. But when it comes to, like, the faucet or something, if there's a man available to fix it. Like, if you're married to somebody, you're going to hope or want him to fix it. That woman wants the man to fix it. Let's be real. I know plenty of single women who do everything and fix everything. So I feel like women's skill is rising to the occasion. You gave birth. You got a baby. You're healing. You've got to feed that baby. You do it. Like, you're going to push through ultimate difficulty and do it. And I think if you weren't here, yeah, I'd fix the faucet. Like, I would do those things. But I like delegating to you. And having you do those things. Okay. I don't want to doubt you. Don't doubt. I finished all my skewers. But wait. I didn't give my opinion there. Oh, really? Go ahead. Men! Okay. But I think there's, as far as, like, differences between men and women, a lot of this has to do with interest as well. This is a good pointer. One big divergence is the interest in people versus things. And men tend to be interested in things. Yeah. Devices. Yeah. Stuff. Yeah. Commodities. Economics. More than women, on average. On average. And I've certainly seen that with fixing stuff or being into the minutia of speakers, for example. Music speakers. I don't know. It's like there's a whole subculture of men doing these things. And it's not that a woman can't be there. But she's got to, like, know her stuff to be like, oh, this girl knows her stuff. I feel like a woman might have to. They almost have to prove themselves more in a way. Exactly. Would feel like she has to prove herself in that man's sphere. Just as much as, like, you in the teaching sphere might feel like you have to prove yourself as a man. Like, there's not many men teachers. If I was teaching kindergarten, yeah. Yeah. Well, you were teaching elementary school last year. It's true. Like, that's considered a more typically female job. Yeah. But I feel like you kind of straddle the line pretty well. I think sometimes it's the same with sports as well. I do remember I played hockey. And as long as, like, a girl doesn't have, like, a chip on her shoulder about it and they're just like, yeah, I'm playing the game as best I can and they, like, know something, guys are usually going to be like, yeah, come on in here. Let's do it. You know, because they just don't want, they don't want, like, drama. They don't want extra drama. Men amongst each other. This is my experience. Okay. Well, we might get some controversy. We accept women as long as they don't bring their drama. Oh, my gosh. In the man-dominated spheres. Like, you know, like, because I was on a hockey team. It didn't explicitly say a woman can't be there, but no women joined. There was a woman, though, right? Yeah. No, I'm saying that there was and that nobody said anything about it. First of all, I think this person was transgender, so they didn't explicitly say this, but, you know, she didn't make a fuss about being a woman there. Like, you guys aren't respecting me enough because I'm a woman. Like, she just was playing the game. Right. Just, like, there to do the thing. It's not about gender. It's just about doing the thing. Okay. And she was good enough to hang. That helps. You know, you don't want to be like, I can't touch this person. I can't bump them. Yeah, like, they have to be able to play with the same rules and the same things if you're playing. Same with men when they're playing with women. It helps that it was a no-checking league. You know, we weren't actually hitting each other and stuff. Okay. We were talking about fixing things, and we got a little off track, which is fine, but I have... I chopped a new skewer. That's what it turned into. But we didn't put any of the cheese on the skewers. I didn't. I was just skewering. Okay. I have two more, and we're going to keep them really fast because this lesson is getting very long. Okay. Who is better at... Oh, you have these two. There's more to be made. Who is better at keeping things clean? Three, two, one. Women. I want to say my opinion about this first. I think women are better at keeping things clean because women are really good at noticing details. Like, everybody who is married has experienced this. I guarantee it 100% that a woman can walk into a room, and a man can walk into a room, and they will notice different things. Like, the counter is a mess. I will clock that. I'll notice that. But Dan might not notice it. But once you know, like, oh, Vanessa really cares about the counter being clean, then, you know, you'll clean it and take care of it and whatnot. But I notice things, and I think women notice stuff. Like, the focus, the multitasking of things and, like, what's going on is really strong for women. And I feel like, for me, when our house is clean, oh, I feel so good. There's, like, something deep within my soul that feels cleansed, like, relieved. There's a weight that's off of my shoulders. Anyway, that's how I feel. Why do you think women are better at keeping things clean? Why do I think they are? Yeah. Oh, man, I don't know. Big question. I just agree with you in this case. You know, there might have something to do with, you know, women caring more about their home environments, like having a more holistic scale or a sense about it. Okay. Maybe. Can I have some more pineapple? I'm done. Okay, well, let's do the last one. Are you ready? I got a cheese skewer. What piece of cheese? Oh, you got cheese on there. Good for you. Okay, the last one is slightly more controversial. Uh-oh. Okay, who is better at handling stress? Three, two, one. Men. Women? Okay, I feel like I'm not sure about this. Well, it depends on the stress. I think that's the answer. Yeah, why do you think men? Like, what's the situation where you think? Well, I already mentioned the car situation. Yeah, yeah. High-stress environments, men tend to work in those, like as jobs. So in the workplace? Climbing, especially, like, physical risk. I think a man is much more likely to disregard the danger in front of them, you know, like climbing radio towers or whatever, fixing light bulbs and stuff like that, plumbers, getting down dirty in the muck, in the mud, in the mire, all that stuff. Which is a form of stress. And I don't know. I feel like women get stressed more in general. They at least emote their stress more. I think that's it. I think that the stress, I mean, obviously by, like, what I said about the suicide rate, like, men are going to keep it in, which is not good. Don't do that. Don't forget the cheese. Cheese! One piece of cheese. I'm going to set the cheese right in front of you. Okay, you want to put it right there? But I think that there are certain things that me and my mom friends, for example, were like, our dudes would never be able to handle this. And it's a lot of home and child care and peopling. It's the multitasking, really, of like, okay, we got a birthday party on Saturday. I need to get a present for that kid. I need to make sure that everyone is ready by blah, blah, blah time. So I'm gaming it out in my head, you know? So that helps me deal with stress by being organized. And, like, I guess this is a more individualistic thing than a gendered thing. Dealing with stress? Yeah. Well, I don't know. I think I made my case pretty well. I mean, we're talking about different things here. I think we are talking about different things because, for example, I have a friend. Plus, like, ladies come home and they might have dealt with the thing better, but they still come home stressed, right? Yeah. I mean, maybe. They're still like, I just did 5,000 things today. Ugh. Yeah, but then they're still going to make dinner and still going to blah, blah, blah and still going to, like, pick up the kids from soccer and, like, do all those things and push through instead of checking out. And I think the stereotype is that men would, like, check out and be like, I'm just going to sit on my phone. I've had too much going on. I need a break. That could be possible. And women are like, I'm coordinating all the things still in. I still worked all day and I did all this stuff. And, like, maybe that's multitasking. I don't know. These topics overlap. Okay, I'm going to finish this skewer. And then I think before we go, we need a... Am I overdoing this skewer? A handshake. We need a handshake. A men and women coming together for the better, greater good of humanity. Ooh. Wow. Are you ready? Yeah. Hello. Good job. Good job, men. You are a woman and you are good. Thank you. I believe in you. Good. Okay, goodbye. We are still friends. After all this. In fact, I married you for a reason. Because you're a woman. Well, thank you. One of the reasons, anyways. One of the reasons. Woman, yes, I'll marry you. Anyway, thank you so much for watching today's conversation lesson. This is something that AI can never give you. Never, Amelia. Real life conversations about topics.
