f the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip and it happens right now.

Go.

Oh, Paul. Thank you. Just what I needed to see.

Well, I'm going to warn you that the news is a little slow and so am I. And I have no idea what's going to happen this morning, but we might enjoy it. I mean, we usually enjoy being together this time of day, right?

How many of you are now completely habit addicted to being up and listening to me at this exact time of day? It's kind of addictive, isn't it? Even if the quality isn't very good, if you do it every day, it's... well, let's check a few stories to see what's new.

Here's a fun one. Apparently if you use the gene editing technology CRISPR on some wheat, according to the University of California, Davis, they figured out how to make this genetically enhanced wheat that can make its own fertilizer. What? How does wheat make its own fertilizer? Well, it doesn't make it out of itself. It encourages soil bacteria to convert atmospheric nitrogen into plant-usable fertilizer.

I don't know.

Do any of you really care? How many of you woke up this morning and said, "I wonder if there's a way to make the wheat shed its own fertilizer." Yes. Yes. No, it doesn't do that. It just interacts with the soil.

I wonder if there's any science or any studies that have been done recently in The Lancet that didn't need to be done because you could have just asked me. Yes, it turns out there is a story just like that. You won't believe this and by the way there's nothing funny about this except that they made a story out of it. That they made a scientific study out of it.

Would you believe that according to the study, psychological distress in Gaza has tripled over the past five years? Now, has anything happened in the last five years in Gaza that would cause the residents to have more psychological distress? Has the weather been good? Has anything happened in Gaza in the last five years that would make people stressed? I don't know. We're going to have to say this is a mystery.

Can you believe that was an actual thing? This is an actual arti
