Are you ready to immerse yourself in English today? Today I am here with my husband Dan. Hello. And you are invited to our American English kitchen where we are going to be prepping some food for a school function today.

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 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. This four things all at once. It's a good test. So, our topic today is men versus women. Oh, versus. Yes. 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 cuz I'm going to uh make some fruit. 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.
Skewers. All right. I'm just going to put stuff on them. Do you have any rhyme or reason to how you want it? Uh, well, I was going to make half all fruit and half fruit and cheese. Okay. This is for teenagers, by the way. Okay. So, um, 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 gonna have really focus on this 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 science, by the way. This is all averages. Who know? Like, we're just making this up off the cuff.
Well, let us know in the comments. A scientific fact 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. Oh, okay.
Like as far as like directions go. Okay. Um also men are like a little more like less likely to Man, I'm actually struggling to cut this and think. Uh that's our question number two. Yeah. uh they're like less likely to uh 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 uh 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 panicking all the time, you know. So, okay. Well, it's all of these answers for us are based on our
personal experience. Yeah. So, please take it with a grain of salt, whatever we say. Yes. Um I'm going to say um 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. Okay. So, what I heard now, someone out there might contest this, but Oh, these limes smell good. Yeah. Oh, fresh. So, what I heard is that if we're going by car accident data, oh, men get into more fatal car accidents cuz they're doing dumb stuff like driving too fast.
Yeah. I wanted to take out like teenage men from this equation. We're talking about the whole spectrum here. 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. We 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
Yeah, I have a super power called ignore them. 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 um get into little fender benders in my opinion. But um 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. Yeah. 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. Interesting. But I can't be like a really good driver because I'm like my ears are busy listening.
Mhm. Comprehending taking it in. Oh, that's so beautiful. Yeah. Do you see these? Wow. Um and if given the ch 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 uh there might be an expression that you've heard of, uh I'm a backseat driver. Yes. Yeah. Even though you're not in the back seat. Yeah. And that just means that uh 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 emerging. Give them some more space. I think every woman who has driven with a man has dealt with this situation before. Yeah. And it dep 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 you're caring for the kids. You're passing them snacks. You're passing them a book. trying to help much drive.
Um, yeah, I think yeah, in general that 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, statement number two. True or false? Women are better at I'm just kidding. Women are better at 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? See, now I got Yeah, I finished my This is for a special tropical fruit punch. Oh. Um, what was I thinking about again? Multitasking. Hold this. Can you No, I'm Well, I'm in particularly not a very good multitasker, so uh that doesn't help my case, but Okay. Uh yeah, I think well, I've heard I have not scientifically verified this that uh women have a little more like cross
communication in their brain. You ever heard this? Okay. I have not. And they uh they sense more on average sense like actual senses like smell. Yeah, I've heard that. That's also why for example like 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. And can I move from that spot? That's 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 child care, 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 sequ sequential things like that or organizational type stuff this is personto person as well I think but you know I'm a teacher and uh that's one thing that I struggle
with I'll I'll forget some little details here or there about our schedule and I'll have to rely found my co-workers. 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. Okay. 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 kids going to be really happy. And then some little does wait does this relate this uh 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?
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. They have to compete. The base cuz 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. Yeah, pretty much.
Okay. But also like just an ex by experience, you know, any game that I've ever played uh in general, men are going a little bit harder. I'm thinking like board games, you know, or card games. I've find 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 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. Yeah. I think in general women try to be more women maybe naturally are or nature nurture whatever it is are more agreeable. Yeah. Um that said I have met some very competitive women. Absolutely. And also like uh you know students I teach at a middle school well a elementary and middle school and some of those girls are very competitive.
Yeah. I think women can absolutely be Wow. This is quite the pineapple piece. Women can definitely be competitive, but it's also different things too. I think as women post women as adults, I would say like we're talking about adults pretty 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. Um, 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 w adult women are more agreeable than adult men. I think the what do you what can you say the it's just the averages, you know? Yeah. 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. Yeah. 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, oneon-one, I could be more like less agreeable, like approach someone, talk to someone. You're pretty nice. You're pretty nice, honey. Well, she's very nice. Thank you. I think uh well, we kind of got off topic. Competitive is not mean. Yeah. Anyway, let's go to the next one. See, now then now I'm getting into other little details like how can I cut this thing in a different way. Um so the next one is women are more organized. Oh, we kind of talked about this a little bit. H yeah, I think so on average.
Okay. Well, the 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 don't 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. Uh 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. Okay. Think about a 30year-old woman and a 30-year-old man. Yeah. I guess usually it's more likely for a woman to be more organized overall. You just I don't know. It could be social, too. Like women tend to like organize the schedule and who's coming over when and life stuff. Like for me, 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, "Woo, I'm at home." Yeah. 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, this I think this is a kind of a commonly known thing. Statistically, males are more likely to have ADHD than women. Oh, is that right? And interesting. I feel 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.
Um, but I think part of ADHD is struggling with uh 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. Uh people like Dan who might or might not be I've never been formally diagnosed, but 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 is that ADHD? No, that's great.
Okay. Uh 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 like men are more likely to be like the CEO of a company? Because you have to be really organized, right? Well, that a lot of that is assertiveness, too, though. Oh, okay. So, 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 uh it's almost like a I can be organized and focused on one thing ADHD but I'm more likely to miss the big picture or miss the other little detail. I think that's exactly what I was saying like you can be really organized with one focused thing and maybe that's Q perfect timing. Oh, I just Um, but I like the moment that you say something, it's almost like I have this, you know, when the moment I say something say anything, me the moment you say anything, you know how in the movie A Beautiful Mind or like in any kind of like uh criminal detective movie or TV show, they have like a clear board It's a meme at this point.
All the math and like all the things like immediately like 30 things come to my mind and I start like organizing like we have to do this first and this second and it's 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 like 30 steps ahead. Yeah. And sometimes that's good but sometimes it's not. I think it can be helpful for like getting stuff done, but it's like Well, that's why you married people like me. Marry people like me, married a person like me. Yeah. I think it's not helpful for like reflection. So, I'm trying to get better at like reflection. Um anyway, that's my personal for reflection. Really?
Yeah. Cuz I don't spend time. I'm just like organizing and doing and organizing and I'm not like thinking that's for little cheese cubes. I organized 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 I have no idea. Saving money. Yeah, these are these ones are not so black and white. So, some of these are they're less stereotypical. Well, stereotypically, I feel like women are the one who spend the money. Yeah, you're a you are a uniquely cheap person, my dear.
Well, is that just saving money? all the like memes about ladies shopping and stuff and like Yes. But I think in reality women because of the organization and the planning ahead, women have more if we're thinking about like the 30-year-old woman just as like in the middle of life, there's still a lot of life ahead. She has some experience but not a lot of experience. Like that's why I'm just saying 30-year-old. Um, I think the average 30-year-old woman is better than the average 30-year-old man. What a statement for the future financially and having a little knot 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.
Okay, I could be very wrong. stereotypically uh you know and it's a stereotype but men make the budgets and then women spend it. Uh, I would say, okay, this is maybe based on like my friends, the women I know buy the necessary items and the occasional unnecessary items, but men splurge on like big things that could possibly waste a lot of money, like that fancy car or the I've certainly seen that. Yeah. So I think in the 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. M or a car even. Uh I am 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. So compared to me you're a spender but that's not hard.
Yeah. Vanessa is the 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. Um, why do you think it is that women are better at expressing emotions? Uh, well, I think that women seek validation of their emotions more than women or men do. Oh. 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 so 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 uh suppressed with his emotions because you don't want to be too like evolutionarily. M if we're talking about like 50,000 years ago from 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, but yeah. Uh, 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 100 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 yeah, a value. I just don't think like daytoday I don't think a man seeks it out or wants to or needs to. I have heard statistic here. It didn't just come from my brain. Um I read that after a breakup statistically it's harder for men because they 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? Um, yeah. And the statistic 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. A that sounds really pitiful. Yeah. I had just moved to a new city and we broke up and that was Oh, terrible. So, you didn't even have me when we were dating. Yeah. Well, yeah, that's a long story. Yes. Years ago, saga decades ago. Um well also I think the clearest statistic is that the uh adult topic here um 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 maybe 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 I think that 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 risktaking. Okay. Well, anyways, let's go to the next one. Uh, 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. Mhm. The faucet's broken. A man. I agree. So, I think women stereotype for a reason. Yeah. I think women can do it. Can they? Haven't seen you try. Not very often. Um, 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.
Woman wants the man to fix it. Let's 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 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. I don't want to doubt you. Don't doubt. Um, I finished all my skewers. But wait, I didn't give my opinion there. Oh, really? Go ahead, men.
Okay. Uh, 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. Um, one big divergence is the interest in people versus things. And men tend to be interested in things. Yeah. Devices. Yeah. Uh, stuff. Yeah. Commodities. Economics. More than women on average. And that I've certainly seen that with fixing stuff or being into the minutia of speakers, for example, music speakers.
Uh I don't know. It's like there's a whole subculture of men doing these things. And uh it's not that a woman can't be there, but she's got to like know her stuff to be like, h 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. Um 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. Mhm. Um 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, well, we might get some cont. We accept women as long as they don't bring their drama. Gosh. In the man dominated spheres like you know like cuz I was on a hockey team. Mhm. 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 doing the thing. Okay. Um 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 on the same 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 it wasn't a it was a no-checking league, you know? We weren't actually checking hitting each other and stuff. Okay. So, we were talking about fixing things and we got a little off track, which is fine, but um I have I chopped and you skewered. 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.
Mhm. Okay. Who is better at Oh, wait. You have these two. Good. There's more to be made. Who is better at keeping things clean? Three, two, one. Women. Uh, 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 h when our house is clean, I feel so good. There's like something deep within my soul that feels good, cleansed, like relieved. There's a weight that's off my shoulders. Anyway, that's how I feel. What do you Why do you think um women are better at keeping things clean? Why do I think they are? Yeah, it's a Oh man, I don't know.
Big question. I just agree with you. In this case, uh, you know, there might have something to do with, uh, 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. Um, okay. Well, let's do the last one. Are you ready? I got cheese skewer. One piece of cheese. No, look. 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. I 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 Well, I already mentioned the car situation. Yeah. Um high stress environments, men tend to work in those m like as jobs. So in the workplace, climbing, especially like physical risk.
I think a man is much more likely to uh disregard the danger in front of them, you know, like climbing radio towers or whatever, fixing light bulbs and stuff like that. Yeah, plumbers getting down and dirty in the muck, in the mud, in the meer, all that stuff. Uh, which is a form of stress. And I don't know, I feel like women get stressed more in general. They just 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. One piece of cheese. You set the cheese right in front of you. Okay. You want to put it right there? I'll move this. 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 lat like home and child care and peopleling like dealing with uh 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 time. So like I'm like gaming it out in my head, you know? So, like 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. Men, I We're talking about different things here.

blah and still going to like pick up the kids from soccer and like do all those things and push through instead of I'm not saying 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, uh, I got like I'm coordinating all the things still and 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 the skewer and then I think before we go, we need a um Am I overdoing the skewer?
