Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is deeper in the din with dangerous day. Well,
you know everybody's heard somebody brag about something ridiculous and
maybe they guess the exact whatever one time, whether it's
the time, or they weren't looking at a clock, or
they managed to flyss three times a day. What are
some weird flexes weird things people brag about? They asked
people online. Some of the best answers include a manager

(00:23):
prided himself for being crazy busy all the time, so
told him hadn't listen to music in fifteen years because
they don't have the time. Well, you're missing out on life.
Then a coworker both did that, not using their paid
time off. The days don't roll over or pay out,
So what are you working for free all the time?
My brother in law, somebody said, is almost sixty in

(00:44):
brags about never eating fruits or vegetables, and he kind
of thinks it's funny getting his grandkids to do the same.
Eat your fruits and vegetables, kids, Come on. One person
said they had a boss that would call her handwriting
ugly and chicken scratch, then claims she won a handwriting
award in third grade, which, by the way, was sixty
years ago. Another guy hitting on a woman at a

(01:05):
bar Los Angeles probably said that he had a national pedigree,
commercial pedigree as in the dog food. A cousin bragged
about never using sunscreen in his life while peeling like
a lobster all the time. It was unclear how old
he was, but sure things have changed in the past
twenty years. A patient bragged about never drinking water. God
wanted her to drink water. It would have made it

(01:25):
taste better. I like to taste of water. Some people
proud of themselves for chugging a whole jar of pickle
juice without destroying the lining of their stomach. Other weird
things people have bragged about. Somebody bragged about living in
another country for years with never eating any of their
local cuisine. Boss bragged about knowing his son exactly how
old he was. His son and his wife lived in

(01:47):
the same house. Well, I would hope you know how
old your kid is. Somebody said they never read and
they thought that made him cool. And another one said
jokes about never doing anything around the house. My wife
does it all. You know, I met your wife, dude,
she's miserable. Deeper in the two, don't have to ask
how you're feeling, but I'll ask this, Have you had
a cup of coffee yet? Or maybe five? There's a

(02:08):
new study out shows coffee can improve your mood. In
the study, regular caffeine consumers immediately reported feeling happier and
more enthusiastic after a cup of coffee or some other
form of caffeine. That joy typically lingers for about two
and a half hours. This boost was obvious more in
the morning than it was later in the day. I
guess observe optics and feelings and overall contentment and reduced sadness.

(02:33):
One big caveat though, the only people in the study
were habitual caffeine users, so it's possible the positive feeling
was just a rush from getting your fix, in other words,
a reversal of withdrawal symptoms. They didn't break it down
to how much you should drink, but previous studies showed
that about one cup of coffee every four hours can
give you a boost, but you shouldn't overdo it. Four

(02:53):
cups a day should be the max. That's the equivalent
of about three hundred milligrams of caffeine. If you need
your boost, go ahead, grab your a cup of coffee.
