0:00.0	All ready ready? We're all ready ready. Auto, you ready? Auto. What is it? The
0:08.4	Clapper? Scene one, auto. Hi everybody Dennis Prager, Fireside Chat
0:14.4	Number. 196. 196. So folks, for number 200, if you want to make a little party at
0:25.7	home and have a cake, cigars, good idea. Wow, 196. We didn't even know if it would go past two.
0:37.9	It was an experiment. And thank God it's caught on literally around the world. So I'm Dennis Prager,
0:46.7	and I talk to you about things on my mind, then I take your questions, and it's very spontaneous.
0:52.8	Yes, as you can probably tell. At least I can tell. So what's on my mind? Well, there's always a lot on my mind.
1:04.8	I actually often drive in the car with no music on. I love thinking. A lot of people don't like thinking,
1:14.3	because they go especially women. Not that women think less than men. They think more than men actually,
1:20.0	as it happens. But a lot of their thoughts get dark. I know this from my wife to be honest,

1:52.3	talking about that, I don't know if you've heard this Megan, they did an experiment at some university,
1:58.4	quiet, I don't know, 15, 20 years ago. They told men, college men, to go into a room alone,
2:07.2	in other words, one at a time for hours. And of course, no videos, nothing. Just sit on a chair in a room.
2:19.1	So they did it with a number of men. They did it with a number of women. Students,
2:23.4	obviously all alone for ex-period of time. And then they would ask them, what did you think about?
2:29.7	Did you ever hear me tell about this one? This was revelatory to me, not about the men,
2:35.8	but about the women. So the men, what you think about sports and sex, shocking.
2:44.0	Now here was the interesting one. So what did the women think about? It wasn't sports and sex.
2:50.3	What did the women think about? They reviewed conversations. And that's a burden.
