What up everybody? It's episode 570 of The Genius Life. Let's go.

What's going on everybody? I'm your host Max Lugavir and what's going on, everybody?

I'm your host, Max Lugavir, and welcome back to The Genius Life, a show where we separate

signal from noise in a world that's increasingly optimized for confusion.

Today's episode is a wide-ranging, anything-go-go-conversation with returning guest and my good

friend, Luke Cook.

And if you've heard our past episodes together, you already know anything can happen.

From the science of GLP1 drugs and what they might be doing to your brain beyond appetite,

to nicotine, ultra-processed foods, and the surprising psychology of why boring meals might actually be your secret weapon.

We cover a ton of ground. Now, fair warning, this one's part science, part speculation, and part just two friends thinking out loud. Take it as a conversation, not a prescription. Listen all the way through to the end. You're not going to want to miss a beat. And as always, don't forget to share this episode with friends and loved ones who you think may benefit from it or at the very least enjoy it. And if you're enjoying the show, it would mean a lot if you take a moment to leave a rating and review on your podcast type of choice or hit subscribe wherever you're listening, including on YouTube. And now with all that out of the way, let's dive in. Luke Cook, what up, baby. Damn. Welcome back to the show. How often do we do this?

I feel like every three months, every couple of months.

A quarter.

Yeah.

Like once a quarter you have Lou Cook on.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Would you rather drink a cup of soybean oil or a teaspoon of glyphosate?

That's wow.

I would probably rather do the soybean oil. Okay. Yeah. Cholorically, that would be quite the load. But I mean, a tablespoon of glyphist, that'll kill you. I don't think you would die. Teaspoon, I said teaspoon. Oh, teaspoon. I mean, just, you probably eat that in a day with a regular meal. Yeah, like I would way prefer that. As opposed to how much glyphosate? A teaspoon. A teaspoon of glyphosate versus. Yeah. Like a roundup. I think that might kill you. Really? I don't know. What would you die of just like a toxic overload or like a... Yeah. It's a neurotoxin. So that's how they kill like... Oh, so you do admit that it's bad for you. Uh, you know, I'm not about to drink, consume a teaspoon of it. What would you be, what would be your answer? I just, maybe I want to get the soybino is the soybean oil. Right, but I just maybe the teaspoon just makes, oh, it's one done. Like you just down the glyphosate and then you take a sip of water and it's, you know, it's done. And maybe there's so much glyphosate just everywhere anyway that my body would be like, I'm used to this. We've been here before. That is an interesting question, though. Like, that's not something that i would have like considered here's another one for

you if you had to join a uh a hollywood couple as a thruple and you had to make it work relationally

like you know you didn't not just sexual like i think we'd get along who you who would you join

or it can be past or present which Which Hollywood couple? I know your answer.

Okay.
