eah, you thought this couldn't get better and it just did. Surprise. And all you need to do, all you need to do to take this to the next level is see if you can find yourself a cup or a mug or a glass or a tankard or a stein or a can or a jug or a flask — a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of th…

Well, so today, later today, I will be appearing on MSNBC. You're not going to want to miss that. I don't know what kind of questions they're going to ask me. I'll be on Ari Melber's show at — they give a start time that's usually well in front of the time I'm actually on camera — but 6:00 p.m. Eastern time, 3:00 p.m. California time. And they'll be talking to me, so we'll see how that goes.
You know, I think I told you I started saying no to all interview requests recently, so I don't have — I don't think I have anything else on my calendar. But when this one came in, I thought to myself, well, this one's going to be too much fun. I'm going to have to take this one.
It has been brought to my attention that there's a very interesting piece of content on HBO called "The Vow." It's a multi-part documentary about a cult. It's called NXIVM. I don't know how you pronounce it. But I started watching it and I think I'm halfway through, but I can already tell you you've got to watch this thing. So I will be talking about it in the context of persuasion because the cult has some interesting techniques. And it is a really good documentary because the access they have — where actually things are on film or on audio — it's pretty remarkable. And if you really want to understand how influenceable or how persuadable people are or what they are willing to believe, you got to watch this thing. Because if you think people are gullible or people can be fooled, you haven't seen anything. And I'll talk about the technique after I give you time to watch it.
So allegedly today there's a big announcement from Apple about their 5G phone. And most of you are saying to yourself, well, that's nice, a 5G phone. It'll be a little bit faster than a 4G phone. Aren't we glad that each of our phones are a little bit better than the last one? But I think you'd be missing the big story on this one if you didn't notice stocks were solidly up yesterday, and at least part of the reason is probably Apple. And part of the reason is when 5G becomes common, now you've got a little bit of a pipeline problem or a

capacity problem. So I don't know if your 5G phone is going to give you 5G speed right away every place you would use it, but probably it'll start out pretty good. And here's the thing you need to know about speed. Speed doesn't just help you do what you were going to do anyway but make it faster. This kind of speed will change what you do. You'll be able to do things that you couldn't do before.…
