about time you got in here. Good to see you. I'm coming to you from my man cave slash garage. And while you're streaming in here, because we're going to have the best time you've ever had, we'll get ready for a show. We've done the pre-show already. So this is the real thing at the top of the hour. And how many of you want the simultaneous sip? You do, right? You do. And if you want that, all you need is... I'm reading my cup. It's written on the cup. All you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or a 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 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 are some nerds, I'm using my laptop, but I'm using the built-in microphone for the laptop. Apparently, using my iPhone as a remote microphone, which is an option, didn't give me quite the quality I was hoping for. That was the feedback I got. and uh this is a little bit better it's not as good as the shure you know studio microphone but i don't have a convenient way to set that up i bought myself a uh a microphone stand that will allow me to put it on the floor and 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 coworkers, 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 will be a time of 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. So shall we begin? Sure. So according to SciPost, Psychology News, Vladimir Hedrin is writing about this, that the spice saffron... might help with erectile dysfunction. So I'm reading this long article about how if you give people saffron pills that they will have much better sexual function. And 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 pills 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 is 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.
Scott Adams 5:06
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 Pennsylvania School of Medicine, the spice of rosemary might help with wound healing.
