a copper mug or a glass, a tankard, a growler, a stein, a canteen, a jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip and it's happening now. Go. Ah, tremendous. Now, for the nerds among you, and I know there ar…

quite the quality I was hoping for. That was the feedback I got. And this is a little bit better. It's not as good as the Shure studio microphone, but I don't have a convenient way to set that up. I bought myself a microphone stand that will allow me to put it on the floor and then have the studio microphone in front of me. But that's what's happening.

Hey, you want to talk about the news? That's why you're here, right? Have some fun, hang out with each other.

By the way, I am kind of happy about the fact that I seem to have accidentally pioneered a new form of entertainment. The new form of entertainment is yeah, we're going to talk about the news and yeah, you might learn some things and maybe you get a reframe. But it's more about hanging out because it seems that the biggest problem people have—certainly at a certain age, maybe at every age, but certainly beyond a certain age—people don't really have friends. Have you noticed that? They have family members, they have co-workers, they have neighbors, but people don't really for the most part have a lot of friends.

So what I do sort of accidentally is I created this—I don't know, kind of a—I don't even want to call it entertainment although I hope to make it entertaining. But it just feels good to know that there'll be a time a day every day including weekends and holidays that I'll be here and that I do it for you and you do it for me and that just feels good.

nd then I get to the end of the story and it says, "However, it should be noted that this was an open label study." In other words, the people who had the saffron were completely aware that they were studying their sexual function and they were studying saffron.

Wisdom from this episode

"The biggest problem people have—certainly at a certain age, maybe at every age, but certainly beyond a certain age—people don't really have friends. They have family members, they have co-workers, they have neighbors, but people don't really for the most part have a lot of friends."

A core problem for many adults, especially as they age, is the absence of real friends—even when they have family, coworkers, and neighbors.

"I seem to have accidentally pioneered a new form of entertainment... it's more about hanging out... it just feels good to know that there'll be a time a day every day including weekends and holidays that I'll be here and that I do it for you and you do it for me and that just feels good."

This daily show accidentally became a ritual of mutual companionship—reliable daily connection that benefits both host and audience by simply hanging out together.
