Anything I say, it'd be like, cause she's good to me.

So was my third grade teacher, Oprah.

It was divine, it was an uplink to God.

And that's how a lot of couples were really religious.

They see their marriage as an antenna to God, actually.

And the reason is because one flesh in real life is not about the stuff that we think it means.

It's about the two right hemispheres of the brain working as one.

It's so incredible.

Grandparenting is the one thing that's not overrated in life.

And it's amazing because it's not as if, oh yeah, it's because you're not changing diapers, Brooks.

No, that's not it because I am changing diapers.

My grandchildren live with me in my house.

Two of them do.

And it's funny because this is how the left brain helps the right brain.

My left brain looked at all the literature and said, you're gonna be a lot happier if you have an extended household and you don't have to go visit your grandchildren.

You shouldn't visit your grandchildren.

You should be real, real close to them.

So we had a family meeting based on research.

And we said, we think it's best if we all live in the same area so we can all help each other an awful lot as a family.
