What We Tell Ourselves

  • Note: There is a discussion around Santa and beliefs—if you have little ones around while listening, we encourage listener discretion.
  • The origin of the “Daisy Dukes” and the show Dukes of Hazard. (3:00)
  • They discuss how information about topics like climate change has changed, and that we are always learning.
  • Vinnie relates the belief in Santa to the belief in what is possible. (13:00)
    • We tell ourselves things we want to be true, so we can get what we want. (16:30)
  • Oral semiglutide’s effects are supposed to be as effective as the injection, but there are still side effects. (21:00)
  • “The Decaf study.” They discuss decaf and caffeinated coffee and whether it is harmful enough.
  • Taco Bell has its own soda flavor, Baja Blast. (28:00)
    • They just launched their own pie based on the same flavor.
  • People think they can get away with one thing if they believe they are compensating elsewhere, but that doesn’t always work that way.
    • CICO, or taking a GLP-1, is an example of this; people will indulge, thinking that the running or the GLP-1 will take care of the fallout. (36:00)
  • The FDA is lifting black box warnings from women’s estrodiol packaging. (51:00)
    • This allows women options that they didn’t think were possible before to treat perimenopause and menopausal symptoms.
