ally know somebody that loaded the atomic bomb on the Enola Gay. It's just so weird.

Well, in the news, very important news. Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen, it looks like they're living separately and maybe talking to a divorce lawyer. Similarly, Brad and Angelina are divorcing and having a bad time in the courts over it.

I have a theory that goes like this. What if nobody is happily married? What if nobody is happily married? And I actually mean that. And I think that it has something to do with our times. Yeah, I know some of you are. Let me stipulate. I will stipulate that a hundred percent of the people who are married and want to stay that way are totally happily married as far as your spouse knows. All right, as far as your spouse knows, happily married.

I have a theory that all happily married people are lying. Just my theory. It's part of the process. And I don't mind that. That's not even a criticism because I am very much a believer in what I'm going to call the Jordan Peterson view of marriage. Right? I probably mischaracterize him, so I apologize in advance. But his view is that it's not about being happy. It's not about being happy. It's more about a commitment. So if you got married to get happy, you probably did it wrong.

So I think that when people say they're happy, what they mean is they'd rather be married than not married, which I totally get. I totally get that you'd rather be married than not married, right? So would you say that you're happily married equates to I'd rather be married than not married? That makes perfect sense. I just don't think anybody's happy about it.

Here's why. No, I'm not saying you should be, because maybe we just have a miserable world where people are struggling for scraps of happiness no matter what they're doing. Because I'm not saying that being single is good. Let me be clear. Being single is no good. I don't like it. I don't like it at all. But I just don't think that we've developed in society options that work. And here's why. I'm going to give you a scientific reason. Why? You ready? This is based on a conversation I had yesterday electronically.

So somebody was telling me that they had had over a hundred lovers. And it wasn't until reaching lover approximately 150 that a great lover was found. And finally, you know, the search showed that you have to go through a lot of people before you find the one who's an amazing lover. And unfortunately that didn't work out. So the relationship with number 150 didn't work out for whatever reasons.

So now what happens when this person goes to number 151? When they go to 151, they're going to say, ah, I really like this person, but now I know what good sex feels like. Can't really be with number 151 because everything's good, but the sex is just average. So you're done. So you've got number 152. How is number 152? Pretty good, pretty good, except the sex isn't like it was with 150.

You see where I'm going? In the old days, people married whoever was next door and had a cow. You know, my entire criteria are, do you have a vagina and a cow? Well, I have a vagina. I'm looking for somebody who has a vagina and a cow because I need a cow too. And then if you got your wife that way, you'd be like, I got everything I wanted. Cow, vagina, boom, happiness. Am I wrong? Cow, vagina, happiness. That's 1942 right there.

Now you can go to the internet and see every manner of desirable thing, and you can compare it to your own life, and it doesn't look so good. So here's what's happened. Your comparison set has expanded to the point where everything sucks. Do you get that? This is based on science. This is not even an opinion. What I'm saying to you now is not opinion. It's just the way people work.

If you give me lots of choices, every time I look at one of those choices, I'm going to say I kind of wish I didn't know about all those other options that I'm not getting because I think I may want to hold on a little bit longer until I get one of these. And then I age out. I'm too old to get married and that sort of thing.

So I believe that humans are destroyed by options, and that we've reached an option set where we can't handle it, and that marriage is simply one of the many things that suffers from it, but maybe not especially so.

Do you know why TV is no good? I saw somebody prompt me for that. Do you know why television is no good at all? Because there are too many channels, too many shows. Do you know that I spend now 90 percent of my time looking for something and maybe 10 percent of my time consuming? What did you used to do? You used to have three channels. I mean if you're a certain age, you had three channels and you just watched one of them, whichever was the good one. You say, well, I got three choices. I'll watch the best of the three, right? You sat through the commercials. You used it to go to the bathroom. It was fine. Yeah, too many choices.

Well, here's another. So that's your first persuasion trick, is that people with too many choices are not happier. Do you ever take a date to the Cheesecake Factory? Oh my God, it's a show. The Cheesecake Factory has a menu that's like 700 choices. Here's me going to the Cheesecake Factory. And again, this doesn't matter who I'm going with. Right now I'm a vegetarian, pescetarian actually, but decisive. So here's me with the Cheesecake menu. One page of stuff I could eat. I'll go with that one. All right, I'll have the whatever, Evelyn's pasta.

Here's my date. It's like, thank you. Here's me. Oh my, I don't have a watch. I can't look at my phone. If I pick up my phone, I'm going to get in trouble. I'm just going to look at it. Looks like I'm going to be here a while. This could be 20 minutes. I just want to check one message. Put your phone down. No, I've never been with anybody who told me to put my phone down. But I've been with people who didn't like it when I picked it up.

Now let me ask you this question. If your date is looking at the menu, can you look at your phone? Yes or no? If your date is looking at the menu and you're done, can you look at your phone? Oh, look at the answers. Yeses and those big disagreements here, huh? Yeah, this one's not settled. See, we need a whole set of manners that are constructed for our unique times because we don't really have phone manners totally worked out.

So I've been going to Starbucks to do some writing. It's just easier to do my writing when I'm there. In Starbucks, people started taking video calls. Seriously, they sit at Starbucks and they take video calls for work. I'm thinking, seriously? Like in what world is that okay? In no world is that okay. And it's now common. It's actually common in Starbucks now, people taking video calls for extended periods. Amazing. Without headphones. Without headphones. Yeah, I mean they're talking too. Some of them aren't using headphones, but others are just talking and listening.

So I guess Tucker had Tony Bobulinski on again. And he's Hunter's ex-business partner. Now here's the most amazing thing about the Hunter Biden story. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is what happened. And I'm going to make up a different story not about Hunter. And it went like this. Do you hear ab
