Chapter 1: What is the significance of the 'simultaneous sip'?
Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine that is the day. It's the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now. Technology is working. Thanks, Paul. All right. We're going to do a speed round of you should have just asked Scott. You ready for this? Speed round.
Women orgasm more readily during sex with a handsome partner. According to the conversation, well, you didn't really need to do that study. You could have just asked me. Yes, women orgasm more readily with a better looking guy. Number two, according to Andrew Huberman, he is reinforcing the idea.
He says, remember when they used to say that drinking some wine was good for your health and actually better than not drinking alcohol? Now everyone pretty much agrees that no alcohol is best. What a ridiculous amount of back and forth that took. Do as you wish, but know what you're doing.
Or you could have just asked Scott about 25 years ago when I first said, hey, what are the odds that alcohol is actually good for you? I'm not buying this at all. It's poison. Should have asked Scott. There's another study that found that while gender stereotypes are often viewed as misleading, They are surprisingly accurate.
So they did a study where people guessed whether men or women would be higher on certain traits. And it turns out that a random person can guess right about 85% of the time, guessing if men or women are better at a random trait. This is according to SciPost. You know what you could have done instead? You could have asked Scott.

Chapter 2: What are some surprising studies about gender stereotypes?
Yes, I think I would have told you that male-female stereotypes are not random. They're not random at all. Here's another one. An ugly truth, according to study finds, attractive workers earn more money than unattractive people. You just could have asked me. I mean, really. Just ask me. You didn't need to spend a penny on this one. Anyway, that's the speed round. So there's your science for you.
Every bit of it is shit you could have just asked Scott. Uh-huh. Yep, yep. Alcohol's bad for you. Pretty people get more money. Yep. Men and women are different. I could have got all of that. There's a Korean filmmaker named Bong Joon-ho. He says his new film is called Mickey 17. It has Mark Ruffalo in it, who's a big critic of Trump.
But he says it's not parodying Trump, the villain played by Mark Ruffalo. No, no, it's not supposed to remind you of Trump. Although critics say that the comparisons to Trump are so obvious and numerous that Of course, it's being inspired by that. But here's the thing I wanted to point out. The Korean filmmaker, his name is Bong Joon-ho, which coincidentally was my nickname in college.
See, because I was born in June. So I'm sort of a Bong Joon-ho. Okay. That's all I had on that one. Did you see that Bill Nye, the science guy, did a Nazi salute? What? He was at some rally for standing up for science, and I'm not even going to do it because I would be blamed of giving a Nazi salute. But as you know, the entire world media stopped to condemn him for giving his Nazi salute.
Wait, that didn't happen? I'm confused. So when a Republican or a Trump supporter says, lifts his arm above his waist, we get four fucking weeks of nonstop, he's a Nazi, he's a Nazi, he's a Nazi. And then the theater kids go wild. Theater kids, do it. He's a Nazi, he's a Nazi. Well, look at his arm. Oh, anybody who raises their arm in the air must be a Nazi. And then Bill Nye does it.
He's just waving hello. What are you talking about? He's not a Nazi. No, he's just pretending he's a science guy. Well, you've heard the rumors that the Obamas may be separated and possibly readying for divorce. We don't have any confirmation of that, but I'm going to give you the hypnotist's confirmation. I saw the messages today. I hadn't seen these before.
Apparently on Valentine's Day, which wasn't that long ago, They gave each other these messages on social media that would suggest they were together. But let's do a little bit closer look at these messages from a persuasion perspective and see what we can learn. So Barack Obama said of Michelle, this was just this most recent Valentine's Day, 32 years together and you still take my breath away.
Happy Valentine's Day. Michelle Obama. And then Michelle separately said, if there's one person I can always count on, it's you, Barack Obama. You're my rock. Always have been. Always will be. Happy Valentine's Day, honey. So do you see anything missing in those messages? You know, the Valentine's message? Let me give you a little bit of Valentine's advice.
If you're married and you give a Valentine's message to your spouse and it doesn't include I love you, you don't love that person because it's the most basic thing that you would say. It's not the thing that you leave out. It's the main thing. It's the main thing. But it gets funnier. I'm going to read Barack's message again. 32 years together and you still take my breath away.

Chapter 3: How do the Obamas express their relationship on Valentine's Day?
Now, to me, the most shocking thing about all the companies that are backing off on DEI, almost entirely because of the Trump administration pushing on it, does it seem to you that the dog not barking is the people who are trying real hard to resist it? Because these same companies were just gung-ho for DEI. I mean, they were all in for... you know, hundreds of millions of dollars per year in.
You couldn't be more in. And then as soon as the government says, no, it's illegal, get rid of it, there's no pushback. Where are all the protests of the Google employees who are like, yeah, we need this DEI again. Don't tell us what we can do. We want to make the world a better place. It seems to me that DEI was never popular.
right because if if it were ever popular with just ordinary people they'd be on the streets saying you stopped our dei how dare you stop our dei but nothing like that's happening there are no mass protests to maintain dei it was never real it was never popular it was just people literally pretending Oh, like the theater kids. Do you see the pattern?
Republicans are mostly things that Republicans have always wanted, and it hasn't changed much. And then Republicans try to get those things in obvious government ways. But the Democrats are almost an entire artificial construct. It's literally just theater kids pretending that they like stuff. And then the minute it's not practical to like that stuff, they just change to another play.
All right, well, we're not saying that anymore. So, yeah, we're not going to talk about the open borders anymore. Open borders were like their most important thing. And then as soon as Trump closes it, they're like, do-do-do-do-do. So what's going on? No protests. Nobody's saying you got to open those borders up again.
give us back our DEI, put those homeless people back around the State Department. It feels like every time Trump does something, it's really quiet because they never believed these things in the first place. DEI, I think, was again, just a whole bunch of Democrat scams. It was a way to grift and get paid for doing not a lot of anything that was useful. So I think as soon as the grift was,
identified and popped, people didn't really want to be public about it because it would be embarrassing at this point. Anyway, according to Jonathan Turley, he's writing about how the UK is continuing this month with his effort to regulate and criminalize speech. Specifically, he says there's going to be an effort in the UK to crack down on Islamophobia, which
is really close, as Turley points out, to having a type of blasphemy standard that would only apply to probably just one religion. If the UK designs a blasphemy standard that says you can't criticize the one religion, they're just surrendering, and that one religion will eventually dominate, no doubt about it. I think the UK is lost.
I'm not even sure why we have them as allies because it's just a matter of time It's a matter of time And and the time it's not very long time I think that they'll just be essentially the Islamic country pretty soon Apparently they're a bunch of big law firms according to the Wall Street Journal that have decided it would be too dangerous to

Chapter 4: What is Stacey Abrams' NGO and its funding controversy?
Now, I saw Bill Maher the other day on a clip. He was saying that he's sort of giving up on the fact-checking against Trump because he says, we all get it, right? We all get it that if he says, let's say, I brought down the border crossings to zero, Well, it might be 1,000 a day or some number like that.
So he's admitting that Trump plays fast and loose with these specific facts, but it doesn't seem to matter. And I think Bill Maher has finally figured it out. It doesn't seem to matter. It would be hard for you to come up with, after years of Trump not passing the fact-checking, What happened because of it? What's the downside?
And I've used the phrase directionally correct, which I think I inserted into at least the Republican part of mind, that once you realize that every time he doesn't pass the fact check, it doesn't matter because he is persuading in the right direction. So if he says, you know, I brought down inflation this much, but you think it's not that much, well, he's fighting hard to bring down inflation.
So every time he does something that seems like a little hyperbole, a little exaggeration, or maybe just a made-up fact, they're all in the right direction. So for example, the Doge stuff, Is it true that he may have mentioned some things that weren't actually things like condoms for the Palestinians in Gaza? Well, not exactly true.
But directionally, it was completely true that money was being spent overseas on things that you and I would think would be not good uses of that money. That's the point. So, and that's very different from the Democrat lies. The Democrat lies are, there's no way to close a border. No, that's not directionally correct. That's opposite.
When Democrats say the election was secure and there's no way, there's no way, any possibility that it was a rigged election in 2020, that's not directionally correct. It's the opposite. So if you look at the Democrat lies, they're opposites from the truth. If you look at what Trump gets criticized for, it's always directionally correct. It's stuff Republicans want.
It's stuff that Republicans think is important. It's exactly the right direction. There's a big difference. But it's kind of important, I think, that Maher is very close to understanding that in context. Now, the way he says it is that Republicans are completely aware of who Trump is and how he talks and how he acts, and we just don't care. That's almost just right. He's so close.
It's not that we don't care, it's that we know he's directionally correct. That's what we care about. We don't care about the specifics. We care about the direction. We care about the energy. We care that he cares. We care that he cares. And even the hyperbole shows he cares. So you can't compare those two things.
Believe it or not, according to OutKick, Kid Rock has set up a dinner between Bill Maher and Trump and himself so that sometime soon, if this reporting is accurate and it happens, Bill Maher and Kid Rock and Trump would sit and have dinner. Now, this is after a long period of Maher really disliking Trump on a personal level.

Chapter 5: How does ActBlue influence political donations?
So he's going to really care about what you say. He's going to absolutely listen to you. And you're going to feel that, oh, he listened to everything I said. I feel like he's not exactly what I thought he was. People always have that opinion when they leave him. It's very consistent. And I'm wondering what would happen. I'm not going to predict it will necessarily happen.
I feel there's at least a 50% chance that Maybe it doesn't happen or it wasn't exactly reported 100% accurately. Or there was an idea that just won't come together. So I don't know if it's going to happen. But if it does, it's going to be a problem for Bill Maher because he's going to have to explain it to his audience that's already mad at him for trying to find some kind of a middle ground.
And I think it will change how he would talk about Trump, no matter how much he didn't want it to. So that would be interesting. And I just love the fact that Kid Rock, of all people, can dial up the president anytime he wants. He could just call the president, say, hey, I got an idea. And then the president of the United States, the most powerful politician in the history of the planet,
can say, what's your idea, Kid Rock? Well, how about we have this dinner with Bill Maher? That's a pretty good idea. Why don't you set that up? The fact that that can happen in our world is just so cool. It's just so cool. So I hope it does. I wouldn't bet on it, but I hope it does. According to the Gateway Pundit, there are reports that the U.S.
has told its European allies that it doesn't plan to be part of future military exercises in Europe. You think that one's true? Do you think we've already told Europe we're not going to be part of their military exercises? Maybe. Maybe it's just part of trying to convince them to spend more on themselves. But it's very possible that that's true. All right.
Here's where I make some people mad and the rest of you are going to learn something. I have to do my obligatory anti-Putin speech because after that, I'm going to say that he did some really good persuasion. So I'm going to talk about his persuasion skills, which I've talked about before. He's really good at it, like unusually good. So you can really learn something by looking at Putin's skills.
But let me do the obligatory Putin speech before I do. Okay. Putin is a terrible murderous dictator, lying, and he has ambitions to conquer the entire world. You can't trust anything he says. He kills people. He puts them in prison. He's the worst person we've ever heard of in our entire lives. Okay? We're all on the same page now?
Now can I say that he does some things that are actually impressively good for persuasion? All right. So he gave a speech. recently, and Joe Hoft is summarizing this. And here's what he said to the Europeans. He said, basically he was telling Europe that Russia has never been their enemy. It's not their enemy and never has been.
He said, Putin shared that Russia was not the enemy of Europe, but here's what he said specifically. He said, quote, Russia has never been and will never be your enemy. Now, the has never been part is the persuasive part. Never have been. He said, we do not want European raw materials and wealth. We have our own raw materials and wealth. We absolutely do not need your raw materials.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of the UK's blasphemy law?
And it says, for coercive governments, negotiations are a means to impose new demands. Iran will definitely not fulfill these new demands. They make new demands, meaning the US, they make new demands regarding the country's defense capabilities and international capabilities.
telling us not to do this, do this, not to meet with that person, not to go there, not to produce this, and to limit the range of our missiles to a certain extent. And then the Supreme Leader says, how could anyone accept such things?
To which I say, oh, yeah, actually, if you put any of us in that same situation, why is some other country telling them what the hell they could do in their own country?
now of course they extend their range to affect other countries that we care about but just think about it it's not really a negotiation we're asking for we're saying we want you to do all these things that we want you to do like you're not even a sovereign country like you should just do what we tell you to do now of course we don't want them to do what they want to do
because they might build a nuke and threaten Israel, and next thing you know, we're in a war that's pretty terrible. So I can see why we want them to do different things than they're doing, as in, could you please not build those nuclear weapons? But from Iran's perspective, if you think they're going to agree to, all right, here's the deal. You do everything we want, and that's it.
That's the deal. You do everything we want and forever. Who in the world is going to agree to that? We're not offering them anything they can agree to. How can you make a deal? I mean, I'm genuinely curious. Now, I get that if we threaten them enough, that what they would get in return is not being destroyed. But that's not really the kind of deal that other countries want to take.
We're forcing you to do what we want, dance for us, you know, dance for us, do what we want, don't meet that person, don't build that missile. It's not really something you could expect them to say yes to ever. And I don't know if we could put enough pressure on them, short of just, what, bombing the entire country into rubble. That's not going to happen.
So I don't think we have anything to offer.
and you know trump is the master of creating an asset out of nothing so if he does that asset would be you know you could you could make more money your people would be happier you don't have to worry about us taking you out so he could create some assets but the way it's being presented to them is we'd like you now to not be a sovereign country and do what you want we'd like you to do what we want

Chapter 7: How is virtual reality being used in California prisons?
But if you're trying to make something work, don't say stuff like about face. That's just causing trouble that didn't need to be caused. Meanwhile, Mario Naufel is reporting about this. It was in the Financial Times.
But he's summarizing for us that apparently the Trump administration is trying to work out a deal with Congo so that we get our own supply of minerals without having to go through China that goes through the Congo. I guess that's what it is. And I always wonder, Is there no way to get minerals out of the ground without these poor locals digging through it with their hands and barefoot?
It just seems like there's no robot that can do any of that. It seems like robots would be the answer, right? It's like, okay, let's build a mine. We'll put some robots there and some safety standards, and then Congo gets the money. We get some minerals, everybody wins. So I hope there's a way for everybody to win.
I wouldn't be super happy if all we did was cut China out, but the locals are still scrambling around with their bare feet and their hands trying to get these minerals. That's just really sketchy. But apparently what we would offer Congo would be some kind of military support that I'm sure they would like.
So Trump announced on Truth Social, I guess on March 7th, that he's going to ban all foreign aid flowing to South Africa. All foreign aid. Now, I don't know how much that is or how much difference it makes to South Africa, but PGA Media is reporting this. And listen to the way Trump simplifies this. Now, this is the thing that drives his critics crazy, that he talks like regular people.
And this is the best example of talking like a regular person that you'll ever see in your life. The fact that this is coming from a president is just so impressive that he can, from the president's office, he can simplify all the way down to, oh, I get that. Yeah, that's just ordinary people talking. So here's what he said on truth. South Africa is being terrible. Okay. That
That's just the first part of the first sentence. South Africa is being terrible. Got it. Plus, to longtime farmers in the country, they're confiscating their land and farms and much worse than that, a bad place to be right now. And we are stopping all federal funding. To go a step further, any farmer with family from South Africa seeking to flee that country for reasons of safety,
will be invited into the United States of America with a rapid pathway to citizenship. This process will begin immediately. That is so clear. Don't you love the clarity of that? We're ending all funds because they're terrible, and they're so terrible that we'll take the families of the people who are in deep trouble. Now, the people, the farmers...
I'm going to guess we would consider highly skilled people because farming is not easy. But I think that the South African farmers probably could make the transition to farming in America with less trouble than somebody who'd never been a farmer. So they could bring to America a farming, let's say, revolution, if there are enough of them, that would make a big difference to our food prices.
