Hey, what's going on? My name is Brant.

Producer Sherry is here.

We're so glad that you are listening.

Your daughter's getting married soon.

Yeah.

And you've been talking about how you don't want to cry.

I don't want to over babble and become a gelatinous mass of just tears.

I get that.

Well, someone just sent an email.

I just got this.

They said, to keep from crying, what you want to do is do math in your head.

Cool.

The theory is that it uses a different part of your brain than the crying part.

So just try one plus one equals to as you're walking down the aisle.

There's a lot of people who have cried about their algebra scores that would say.

I am one of those people.

But I think that's a brilliant idea.

Okay, it's true.

People are really anxious.
