During a COVID lockdown I was watching a 24 hr enduro sim race, specifically one team on YT. It was the night time portion and a Canadian was on shift while European drivers got sleep. He was super chill, driving amazing, and interacting with the chat out of boredom. So I asked him to say something while my disinterested wife was phone scrolling with nothing better to do...

TV: "Hi <wife's name>! I know you're not into it, but thanks for watching from Australia!"

wife looks up "Wtat the fuck?"

Me: "Yeah I asked him to say that."

Wife: "That's so weird. Tell him hi back."

Would have been even better if you let her think you had nothing to do with it and then got him to say increasingly specific things about her 😉

Wife: “That’s so weird. Tell him hi back.”

Uh oh

Quality wife. Tell her mine says hi.
