TALE OF TWO BRAINS- Roberto Bernardo
Start discussing men’s brains, women’s brains
and how they’re very different from each other.
I wanna start with men’s brains. All right?
Men’s brains are very unique, men’s brains are
made up of little boxes and we have a box for
everything. We have a box for the car, we've
got a box for the money, we got a box for the
job, we got a box for you , we got a box for the
kids, we got a box for your mother somewhere
in the basement.
We got boxes everywhere, and the rule is "the
boxes don’t touch". When a man discusses a
particular subject, we go to that particular box,
we put that box out, we open the box, we
discuss only what is in THAT box, all right?
And then we close the box and put it away
being very, very careful not to touch any other
boxes.
Now women’s brains are very, very different
from men’s brains. Women's brains are made
up of a big ball of wire, and everything is
connected to everything. Money is connected
to the car, car is connected to your job and
your kids are connected to your mother.
..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
It’s like internet suprha highway, Ok? And it’s
all driven by energy that we call emotion. This
is zzzzz. It’s one of the reasons why women
tend to remember everything. Because if you
take an event and you connect it to an emotion,
it burns in your memory and you can remember
it forever. The same thing happens for men, it
just doesn't happen very often because, but
frankly, we don't care.
Women tend to care about everything! And she
loves it, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz hahahaha, ok?
Men we have a box in our brain that most
women are not aware of. This particular box
has nothing in it. True, true. In fact, we call it the
"nothing box." And of all the boxes a man has in
his brain, the "nothing box" is our favourite box.
If a man has the chance, he’ll go to his nothing
box every time. That's why a man can do
something seemingly completely brain dead for
hours on it. You know, like fishing.
Now, they’ve actually measured this. The
University of Pennsylvania, a couple of years
ago, did a study and discovered that men have
the ability to think about absolutely nothing and
still breathe. You know they've connected on
the wires and stuff like, most of brain activity ...
Our brain is dead!
Women can’t do it, they can’t do it, their minds
never stop, and they don't understand the
"nothing box" and it drives them crazy because
nothing drives a woman more crazy or makes
you feel more irritated than to witness a man
doing nothing!
