When I asked you that question three hours ago, you said two things.
You said about putting this curriculum into schools, but you also talked about men and their conversations.
And you said you had done a study recently about men.
This is me remembering what you said.
Thank you for that.
But men and their conversations.
You said you'd done an interesting study recently, which I can't go into the details about, but it was revealing about male friendship.
Are men bad at communication?
If so, why are we bad at communication?
You're being diplomatic.
And they have way less friends.
Men are 400% more likely to say they have no one to turn to in a time of crisis.
Half of men say they are unsatisfied with their friendships.
Men's number of close friends has dropped by 30% to 40% since 1990.
So how can I make more friends as a man?
And in the study you did, give me a flavor of how the conversation sounded.
And then that would turn into a narration.
Yeah.
I love Chicago.
It has that.
