So, there I was, minding my own business, watching Gov. Andrew Cuomo's press briefing...when he starts to talk about looking at the positive things that can come for such a bad situation, like gathering your family together, for instance in his has having his three daughters at home -- and all of a sudden he took a detour and starts to he talks about one of them bringing her boyfriend home, and...well, it goes from there. It's hilarious and classic.. I was going to write about suggesting that everyone track it down and then fast-forward to where he starts in. But happily, I don’t have to because it was SO funny that C-SPAN actually posted that entire three-minute segment alone, on their website! (And yes, it went on for three minutes – during his pandemic briefing.) Either his daughters are laughing hysterically, or when he gets home, the first words he’ll hear after he opens the door will be – “DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!!!!!!!” It's wonderful. Unfortunately, I can't embed the video, but you can watch it here. By the way, after you've watched it, come back here for this excerpt of the song, "Never Say No," from the movie version of the musical, The Fantasticks. It's sung by two fathers (played by Joel Grey and Brad Sullivan) trying to get their son and daughter to fall for one another. This is only an edited version with a couple verses, but happily it's the most appropriate ones.
