Actor Mandy Patinkin announced in a video posted to Twitter on Friday morning that he had removed “about 28,000” from unread emails from his wife Kathryn Grody. At the time of the recording, there were about 10,000 unread emails left, according to Grody, who said he commissioned the 67-year-old actress and musician with the completion of the purge.
“Dad is cleaning 38,000 unread emails from my computer. And I don’t want it to end until the end of this trip because it’s an activity that keeps him very happy and very busy, “said Grody, 73, addressing the cameraman, who is supposed to be one of the couple’s two adults. children. “He doesn’t know I do that on purpose.”
When Patinkin revealed his progress, Grody regretted that he was “doing it too fast, honey.”
“You have to go on, do a little less,” he added.
Patinkin confirmed the enjoyment he receives from the activity, which is colloquially known as achieving zero inbox.

“She promised that she would and that she would no longer open all this garbage,” said Patinkin.
