>> Well, partly I say it for my own amusement for two reasons. One, [clears throat]
00:00:21
>> if there appears to be a husband or boyfriend present, I say it in hopes that he might take a swing at me.
00:00:27
>> Yeah. The other reason to say it is if they are with friends >> who maybe they listen to the show, maybe
00:00:34
they don't listen to the show, but they don't know off the record when I say it.
