Yeah.

I'm not a stay-at-home

husband.

I'm a husband

who's home right now.

Yeah, I support her,

and the time's gonna come--

I mean, the perfect

example is, um...

is my fantasy

football league,

you know, my Yahoo

Fantasy Football league...

And I know, you hear

"fantasy football league--"

But this is,

you know, an expert--

an expert football league.

And the draft is the day

of the final table, so that's--

I mean, we're going to have to

work something out on that.

Somebody's gotta

watch the kids.

Yeah, that's what I mean.

I gotta find out--

you know, I gotta--

Maybe Claude,

maybe somebody.

I don't know.

I could bring--

Not Claude.

All right, well,

we gotta find something.

This is-- This is--

Yeah, this is--

I mean, this is my--

this is my thing.

This is your thing,

this is my thing.

But just--

and I totally support you

on it, but just--

I could win

$10 million that day.

And does fantasy

football pay?

Yeah, it pays, uh,

something different

than money is what it pays.

It pays, you know, m--

Yes, it pays.

Does it pay money?

No, it doesn't pay money.

[both clicking tongues]

Right, okay,

a little in the--

[clicks tongue]--

and you're good.

Go-- Go see what

your sister's doing.

Ah, that's what I do.

I-- Yeah.

Didn't know you were

coming up here.

I make up these little

handshakes for the kids.

Hey, I figured out

a good--

here's a good

husband-wife one, okay?

All right, so you just wanna--

you just wanna, "Hey--

[Fred]

Actually, it's only been--

it's been the last

couple of years

I've been coming up

with these things.

And-- And, I--

Actually, I'll show you...

I'll explain this

whole thing to you.

Let me show you this.

This is, uh--

This is my lucky hat.

And this is the hat that I--

I'm a lightning survivor.

My husband Fred

was hit by lightning,

and he will be happy

to tell you all about it.

November 15, 2003.

And you know what happened

after that was--

this left side of my brain,

something with the lightning,

it just opened it up.

And tell you about his sayings

that he comes up with

and his round

beach towel idea.

I come up with little sayings.

You know,

Lainie came in second

in the tournament

a couple months ago,

and the announcer said,

"It's like kissing

your sister."

Right away,

I thought, you know,

it's like peeing

in your wetsuit.

I guess it changed his life.

I said, "Give me

a cup o' Joe,

"but I wanna say hello

to the milkman

and I'm takin' it

up the beanstalk."

Which...is just
