Well, very interesting. It says here, study found that Americans who eat the healthiest have a limited number of items that they eat.

Okay. Unhealthy eaters can have a wider variety of favorites. I like the study because it appeals to me, it firms me.

No, I know a lot of healthy people who have a wide variety.

Yes, and also to it, I have demonstrated that you can have it so limited that it becomes very unhealthy.

Like toast? Yes.

It turns out you cannot just have burnt toast, just playing burnt toast all day long.

The limited, not healthy. Yeah, very limited, very now that I know this unhealthy.

This time of year is a great time for socializing and I've gotten to be very good at it. I mix very well. I did not, not by nature.

Okay. I had to teach myself how to do it, some a little bit awkward, but by nature. So I became smooth by incorporating tips that I now pass along.

Okay. I'm going to do another one here if we can roleplay a little bit. Sure we can.

So what you do now, let's say we're at a business meeting, what you do.

Guys, accolades, guys you want to be like me, like you, you bring, you ask people what they're thankful for.

Oh, yes, very, very good. Yes, this is a great time to do that. Yes, so like this.

So let's say we're at like a work meeting, we don't know each other, so we're at like a front table where they have like the baby carrots and the little pickles.

Right. Hello. Are you thankful for trees?

I am. And that's where we get most of our oxygen, right?

Yeah, wrong. You should be thankful for phytoplankton in the ocean, 70% of our ocean or 70% of our oxygen is from phytoplankton.

So that's a little bit of a stumble there, social sense.

So that's how you do it.

You think it's a phytoplankton. You think it's okay at a gathering to scream wrong, get someone wrong.
