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.

Now, do you think that sounds like a valid scientific study to you? There's a reason that they have the blind studies. This is not blind. And if there's one thing I could tell you as a hypnotist, if you suggest that somebody's taking a pill to make them hornier, they will tell you they got hornier because people like to be horny and they like to have good sexual function. And that's half of hypnosis. You know, hypnosis works best when it's something that somebody wanted and they have no resistance to it. Nobody has any resistance to that. Everybody wants to have better sexual function.

So I would say that the credibility of the study would be approximately zero. Zero. But yet, if you knew somebody who needed some extra sexual function and you gave them the pill and you told them it would work, it might actually work just psychologically and that would be good enough.

Well, that's not the only spice that's good for you. According to the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, the spice rosemary might help with wound healing and reducing scars. So saffron is maybe good for you and then the spice rosemary is good for you.

Well, I'll tell you what. This is just my suggestion, but you might want to give some other advice on this. If you find that medical school sounds like it's too tough and you can't get in and you don't want to do all that homework, you could just become a chef. So what I do when I'm cooking is I'll put a little bit of spice on the food and then just in case, I'll put a little bit on me. Now, I'm not saying this is going to work every time, but have you noticed that there's never a study that says if you added this spice to yourself, something bad would happen, right?

So if there's no downside, and who knows, might make your sexual performance better, might make you heal better. So it goes like this. Some for the meal, some for Scott. Some for the meal, some for Scott. Now, of course, nobody wants to eat dinner with you if you're covered with spice, but that's their problem.

All right. Can you tell it's a slow news day? Is there anything about the content of this podcast that tells you it's a slow news day? Oh, I think there is. I think there is.

All right. What else is in the news? There's now according to the Karolinska Institute and Stockholm University, there's a new drug that looks like it might boost your muscles and curb your appetite and it might be better than these weight loss drugs. So if you wanted something that would make you lose weight while preserving all your muscles, they might have something. But probably not.

What are the odds there's something in the news that says this might work. It worked in a mouse. Do you know what are the odds it will work in a human if it works in a mouse? Not much. Yeah. So it's fun to talk about, but you wouldn't want to bet a lot that it's going to work out.

Here's one that I thought was interesting. Again, we don't know if this is real. You'd have to have a lot more science before you could convince me. But there is some good evidence that the time of day that you give somebody a treatment, a medical treatment, might affect how effective it is. So specifically they found that if you give an immune immunotherapy for cancer, a certain cancer treatment, that if you give it to people in the morning you get a much better response than if you give it to them at night.

Now does that surprise you? Again, remember the odds of this actually passing other scientific scrutiny and five years from now being true is not really that high. There's probably a pretty good chance that this won't stand up, but it feels like it would. Like I think your body is different enough at different times of the day that I wouldn't be surprised if when you take your medicine makes a difference.

I'll bet you this is the kind of thing that AI could discover, don't you think? Once we get to the point that AI will monitor all the things you put in your body and then it can compare it anonymously to all the other people putting things in their body. So some of it would be food, some of it would be time of day. So in other words, the AI is just measuring everything you put in your bo
