I'm your host Andrew McGivern for March 8th.March 8th? - you know what that means—it's International Women’s Day! A day to recognize the achievements, brilliance, and general awesomeness of women everywhere. And also a day for men to double-check that they haven’t forgotten a birthday or anniversary, just to be safe.To celebrate, I bring you a quote from none other than Mike Myers in the movie, So I Married an Axe Murderer: His character once said..."Woman… woe-man… whoooa-man." Now, this may sound like a guy just dramatically mispronouncing a word, but if you really listen, there’s some deep truth here. It starts with simple acknowledgment—woman. Then comes the realization—woe-man—because, let’s face it, history hasn’t exactly made things easy for women. And finally, enlightenment—whoooa-man—as in, “Wow, women are amazing, and I am but a mere mortal in their presence.” It’s actually the perfect emotional arc for International Women’s Day. Women have faced challenges, pushed through adversity, and still manage to run the world while somehow remembering where everyone’s lost socks are. Truly impressive. So today, take a moment to appreciate the women in your life—your mother, sister, friend, partner, coworker, or that one woman at work who somehow gets things done before you even knew they needed doing. And if you ever find yourself at a loss for words, just channel your inner Mike Myers and say it with feeling: "Whoooa-man." That’s it for today’s episode of The Daily Quote. If you enjoyed it, share it with someone who could use a smile. I'm Andrew McGivern, signing off for today but I'll be back tomorrow, same pod time, same pod station with another Daily Quote.
