years ago. And it's kind of wild, you know. It's kind of wild. You have to see it to believe it. Anyway, speaking of the future, Samsung has a new phone. I guess it's going to launch in the next several months, but it's a tri-fold phone, smartphone. So they already had the one that just folds out for a bigger screen. Now it's a threefold. It's a three-parter. So you can make your smartphone about…
← Previous segment →I do. I took my watch off of my wrist and I threw it as hard as I could against the wall, which successfully turned off the alarm.
So can't say I don't know how to do it. Now, it didn't seem to break, but it did turn off the alarm. So if any of you have an Apple Watch and you have that same problem where it won't turn off the alarm for whatever reason, it won't even accept your password, take it and heave it at a wall. That's my recommendation. I'm just saying it worked for me. I can't guarantee it's going to work for everybody, but you can get a Samsung if you don't like that.
All right. Let's look at the news, especially science, because you know how much I love the science. Well, there's a study that York University — Amina Gamalin is writing about it — that if you plan for sex, if you're a couple in a committed relationship, let's say, and you make plans to have sex, you will end up having more sex than if you try to spontaneously have sex.
Now, how many of you didn't know that? How many of you didn't know that if you make plans to have sex, you will end up with at least one more per month on average than if you had not planned it? I think you could just ask Scott about that one.
Now, would it be as satisfying as unplanned spontaneous sex? No. But I'm talking about people who are in a long-term relationship. They've sort of gotten past the spontaneous part. You can't have that forever. So if you can plan it and have it, do it.
Here's another one. Curtin University is looking at a study that says where you live influences your body weight. So they did a study in Australia and they found out that if you live in a town where people are heavier, you will gain weight toward their average. And if you move to a town where people were lighter, you would actually start losing weight.
Now, how many of you didn't know that? That your weight is at least partially dependent — and actually in a fairly big way dependent — on the people around you. Well, I think it was maybe decades ago the first time I saw a study that said that people will tend to the average of their friends. So if you've got five friends who have a weight problem and you don't, well, there's a pretty good chance you're going to start drifting toward their weight. It makes sense. They're the people who influence you the most.
If your friends want to eat fast food and you know there's five of them and only one of you, maybe you eat some fast food. So there's pretty obvious reasons why that works. So why wouldn't it work when you're moving to a town where people are bigger or smaller? Of course it would. You didn't have to do this study. You could have asked me or you could ask the last fifty years of science, which has known this for a long time.
And by the way, that would have been obvious to a hypnotist. A hypnotist would have known that the people around you influence your weight. That would just be basic hypnotist stuff.
How about this one? How many of you wouldn't have known this? According to PsyPost, Karina Pachova, men who are in a family life situation have lower testosterone than when they're single. Did you know that? So if you're a husband type, let's say, and you're spending time around the little kids and your family, your testosterone will drop.
Now, how many of you didn't know that? I knew that. They didn't need to do a study. If you're a man and you've spent time around small children, especially your own small children, if your testosterone doesn't go down, I wouldn't let you babysit my children. You know what I mean?
If you did not feel a total decrease in your overall sexual desire when you're spending time, let's say, feeding breakfast to little kids, if that doesn't lower your sexual desire and, let's say, your testosterone, I'd worry about you a little bit. So yeah, that was obvious. I mean, you can even feel it when you're doing it. Am I right, men? Back me up in the comments. Am I right that you can actually feel the difference when you're doing dad stuff and around kids? Your testosterone drops like a rock.
Likewise, your testosterone will go up if you're doing single things and you're winning competitions and you're, let's say, giving a speech in front of a crowd. There's a whole bunch of stuff that we know raises your testosterone and you can kind of feel it. So this study did not need to be done. Just ask Scott. You see how much money I could save the scientific community

? All right, here's one. Did you know, according to Fox News — it's interesting that this is on Fox News — heavy drinkers cut alcohol use by nearly 30 percent after adopting one new habit. Do you know what the habit is? If you saw this story, don't cheat. But if you had not seen the story, what one habit will reliably cause heavy drinkers to drink less? The answer is smoking marijuana. And again…
