Me (to kids): come on down and see a video of one of my favorite mathematicians explain infinity to a 9 year old. Well, at least one of my favorite living modern-day mathematicians.

Spouse (smirking).

Me (to spouse): What?

Spouse: You have multiple favorite *living* modern-day mathematicians.

Me: Yes, and?

Spouse (still smirking): Nothing.

Does she even know me?

@SusanPotter I don't get it, modern mathematics is so wide one needs several favourite modern-day living mathematicians to cover the subject properly. Nothing strange.
@SusanPotter I love everything about this post :)
