What is the significance of Valentine's Day in this episode?
Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization, Valentine's Day edition. I don't think you can get any better than this, but if you want to try... You can take this experience up to, possibly, levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains. And for that, all you need is a cupper, mug, or a glass of tanker, chalice, a stein, a canteen, a jug, or a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called Simultaneous Hip. That's right. Go. Oh, that's so good. So good. All right, people. Let's see what's in the news today besides Valentine's Day. Everybody got big plans for Valentine's Day? Yeah, me neither. You know, it's not optimal to not be in a relationship. But at the same time, it does save a lot of effort on Valentine's Day. It's hard to get Valentine's Day wrong.
What humorous product is Gwyneth Paltrow promoting?
But given it's Valentine's Day, you might be interested that Gwyneth Paltrow's company, it's called Goop, that's the name of her company, Goop, they're selling a sex pillow, $200. $200 for a sex pillow. Now, I think the pillow is meant to give you extra control during sex with another person. However... There's no prohibition against having sex with the pillow itself if you don't have a partner. So partner, no partner, the pillow can fill in. The only question I have is, how do you get the goop off the pillow? Sorry, that whole thing was just a setup for that bad joke. That's all it was. Put it out of your mind. You can't sell a sex pillow and call your company goop and then let me just ignore that. I'm not going to ignore that. No, no, that's a responsibility as a professional humorist.
I have to comment on that. Well, there's a fascinating new study in SciPost. Eric Nolan is writing. You'll never guess this, but thanks to science, we know this now. There's a study that suggests that the afterglow of sex can boost your relationship satisfaction for at least 24 hours while, and here's the surprising part, while sexual rejection creates negative effects for several days. Huh. Huh. I wonder how many people they had to survey to get that answer. Because if it was more than one guy, they worked a little too hard. Just go to any guy. Do you feel better about your partner after you've just had sex? Yes. How do you feel when your partner rejects you for sex? Terrible. And we're done here.
If you can find even one man who says, you know, I kind of like it when she rejects me for sex, and it's kind of creepy when we have a good sex. No, never happened. Next time, just ask me. I can save you a lot of time. Well, according to The Federalist and John Lott Jr. 's writing, He says that the FBI doesn't just have a transparency problem. They're actually distorting data. Now, what kind of data would the FBI want to distort? It's weird, isn't it? Why would they distort data? Well, here's an example. The data about how many situations are solved by citizens who have guns. Very political. If it turns out that it's rare... a citizen could stop a crime or save any lives with their own personal handgun if it's rare well that'd be maybe a strong argument for not having guns some would say i wouldn't say that but if the number of people or the percentage of time that people with a handgun kept a crime or a murder from happening if that was a big percentage well that would really change everything wouldn't it
Well, it turns out that the FBI was reporting that only about 4% of the time the person with the handgun makes a difference. The real number, according to whoever the CPRC is, is closer to 35% to 40%. 35% to 40% of the time, if somebody has a personal handgun, it stops a crime or prevents somebody from getting killed, except maybe the perp. so remember what i told you that i told you something that is really hard for anybody to accept the first time they hear it and it goes like this all data that matters and the matters part is important all data that matters is fake and it has to be it's not an accident it's because the people who control the data always have an interest, always.
