| 0:00.0 | So as many of you know, I'm a professor at a university, and I was walking through the hallway |
| 0:06.9 | at the university today and ran into a colleague. We started chatting, and she pulls me into her |
| 0:14.2 | office, and she says, I have to tell you something. She, and I said, you know what? And she, she starts to cry |
