Schumer also recalled a recent moment she shared with her husband, telling audience members, “A couple of weeks ago, we were sitting outside. It was a nice night. It looked like it was going to rain, and I was feeling kind of sentimental, and I was like, ‘You know, even though these past couple of years with the pandemic and everything has been so stressful, still this time being with you, being with our son, they’ve been the best years of my life.’ "
“And he just looked at me and said, ‘I’m going to go put the windows up in the car,'” the mother of one said in response. “Yeah, that’s my guy. It’s one of the times we play the game — autism or just a man?’ "
