Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, Trump goes full Hammurabi's code, pledging an eye for an eye with reciprocal tariffs on the countries of the world. Then RFK Jr.
was confirmed as the nation's top health official, while everyone from cereal makers to drug makers are bracing for change. It's Friday, February 14th. Happy Valentine's Day, and let's ride.
Love is in the air this Valentine's Day, and whether you're headed on a third date or going strong 20 years with your partner, here's a little tip that could add a lot of intimacy to your relationship. Kiss for six seconds each day.
Kissing for six seconds, a method pioneered by clinical psychologists John and Julie Gottman, is the threshold at which your body will release oxytocin, the hormone that calms the fear center of the brain, builds trust in a relationship, and is the same one believed to be responsible for a baby bonding with its mother.
They developed this intentional intimacy concept after studying more than 3,000 couples over 30 years. Don't want to smooch each day? Maybe your lips are a little cracked? Another scientist found that a 20-second hug is pretty much the equivalent.
Okay, lots of thoughts here, Neil. First, are there compounding returns if six seconds of kiss and 20 seconds of hug release X amount of octytocin? That would a 60-second kiss and a 200-second hug release 10 times that amount? If I kiss someone for six hours, am I going to be the happiest person on earth? That was my first question. Probably be a little hungry.
You would probably get a little hungry by the end. But also, what other activities derive a similar amount of chemical satisfaction? I was thinking maybe a 45-second firm handshake might get it done. Or, you know, two hours worth of high fives. Just little bursts of oxytocin here and there. But thank you for sharing these intimacy plans on this day dedicated to love.
