kitchen and people are saying they like it. So you might want to check that out. It's on the usual platforms. Wherever you watch this show, it will also be there from yesterday. There's some science that didn't need to happen because you could have just asked me. Eric Nolan of PsyPost is writing about affection deprivation. Deprivation may explain why phubbing. Have you ever heard of that? Phubbi…
← Previous segment →bbing. I never heard of that until today.
Anyway, so apparently, can you believe it, that when people phub in front of them the person who's getting phubbed on, if that's the right way to say it, the person getting phubbed on will not be happy and will not feel it's a good relationship. Did you really need to do that study? You could have come to me and said, "Scott, how would you feel if your date pulled out her phone and started paying attention to the phone instead of you? How would you feel?" I'd say, "Well, not ideal." And then they'd say, "We're going to do a study to see if other people would feel the same way." I'd say, "Whoa, slow down there. Slow down. You don't need to do that study. They will feel the same. I promise you. Save some money."
There's something going on with comedian Theo Vaughn. Apparently he was recording a comedy show at the Beacon Theater. And after the show he said something that got caught on camera. He said it to the audience as he was interacting with them personally. And he said, "I'm having a long month. I'm trying not to take my own life." Wow. Now he did not say it with a big old smile on his face. He kind of said it like that was real. So Theo, we're all going to send you some positive vibes. Hope whatever it is that's plaguing you this month gets worked out.
I didn't realize that, separate from this story, Theo's audience size for his podcast is enormous. Did you know that? I knew he was doing really well and that he's one of the big ones, but his audience is enormous now. So good for you, Theo. I hope everything works out.
Oregon doesn't want Trump to send in his military to take care of all the alleged unrest and crime, but it's going to happen anyway, I think. And Oregon is going to try to sue him to stop it. Cat, could you get your head out of the Kleenex box? Find something else to play with.
So anyway, that's happening and there's a little bit of a fake news kind of element to this and I don't know which way it goes. I don't know which part's the fake part, but the officials in Oregon and some people who live there say, "What problem? There's no problem. Look, look how great everything is." And they'll show you video of walking through the streets and everything looks peaceful and happy. And then you talk to anybody on the right and they've got different videos that just look awful. So I actually don't know. I don't know if Oregon is any worse than it ever was. I can't tell. I'm guessing it probably is. Otherwise they wouldn't bother sending in the military. But there you go.
Trump sent out two truths from Truth Social that honestly don't look like he sent them. So I'm waiting to see if there's more to this story because neither of them would be really something he would post online. One of them looks like it's an entirely AI-made thing where even he's talking but it looks like just AI voice. This sounds like him but it's AI. And it was announcing something called medbed, some kind of medical bed that he was announcing, which isn't real. So we don't know why he sent that around when it doesn't seem to be real. It's not something that anybody's doing and it's not that funny. It wasn't funny and it wasn't real. So is it possible he thought it was real? I don't think so because it was talking about

what he was doing and he's not doing that. There's no medbed as far as I can tell. But he sent that around which made me think maybe somebody else had access to his account. And then also yesterday he sent out something that was praising CBD, you know, the component within marijuana for its many medicinal uses. Now you could sort of imagine maybe he would send that out, but I don't think so. I've…
