There's a, my dad is a dementia and, uh, which is, you know, obviously very sad. He's my hero. And, you know, he's, he introduces me in the special. And, um, but like during this time where I'm, and I were trying to get pregnant, I would go over every week to see him. And, uh, he'd be like, how's things going?

And he would go, uh, he goes, well, if you need some help, you know, I can, I can help you. And he would forget that he would say the joke every week.
