the simultaneous sip. Oh my goodness. The simultaneity of this was a little extra. Nicely done. Compliments to all of you. And may I add that you're looking extra sexy today. You are. Speaking of extra sexy, let me take you over and show you the Biden-Harris store. Now, traditionally people would find the most attractive models, but

they seem to have gone in a different direction this time. And here's the funny part: I can't tell if that's real. I really don't know. Is that real? Is that really a picture from their store? Like, honest to God, that's real? I don't know. I have no idea. That's what's fun about it. I can't tell. I suppose I should try to figure it out. Yeah, anyway, back to me.

Well, there's a new study that says half of your cancers are from your lifestyle. Obviously we'll talk about the Biden presser in a moment. Just letting everybody flow in here. So it turns out that four in ten cancer cases, according to this study, are linked to modifiable behaviors such as smoking, drinking alcohol, poor diet, and what they call not getting vaccinated. When they say not getting vaccinated is a cause of cancer, they mean specifically the HPV vaccination. I'm not saying it's a good or a bad idea. I don't give medical advice. But it's funny that the headline is "not getting vaccinated" when what they meant was there's one specific kind of vaccination.

I feel like you could have skipped the study. I would have told you all of these things, but I would have added that you also have to exercise. But is cancer actually unrelated to exercise? I feel like exercise is related to every disease, but maybe not. Maybe I'm wrong about that.

Well, here's the good news. According to the *Wall Street Journal*, scientists have come up with a kind of a spacesuit that will recycle your urine so that the astronauts can drink it. So they can drink their own urine. There's no word if you would drink other people's urine or just your own, but you should be equal because it's purified. Although I feel a

little less comfortable drinking somebody else's purified urine than my own. Is that just me? Well, we don't want to talk about this because this is icky. It's disgusting. It's the last thing you want in your mind. But speaking of drinking your own urine, let's talk about President Biden and his press conference. That's called a segue, people. It's called a segue. Yeah, I did plan that. Well, tha…
