Ronald, it's Wednesday. You are our guest, tipper of June, and I have this tip written down simply as cold water, and I don't know what that means. Can you help me out? Drink. Cold water. I once was told that you need to drink room temperature water because, uh, somehow it's better for your body or whatever. It may be better for you. It may be healthier. I don't know. I don't know the studies.

I'm not a scientist but I do know that in all of the year or years or so that I was drinking room temperature water, that my life was infinitely worse. I remember I started dating this woman who I loved very, very, very much, and I remember every now and then I would hang out with her or be around her and she would say, Hey, do you want some water? And she'd bring me an ice cold glass of water from her home.

But in my house, the water was always lukewarm, so I would always drink the water with her and be like, oh my god, this water, it's delicious. This is the best water I've ever had. Oh my God, why is it so crisp? It's so clean. It's so good. And I remember she was quiet for a moment one time and I drank, and I think I'd done this like so many times. She was quiet for a moment and she goes, Hey, I think you just like cold water. And she was right.

So I took my Brita water built filter and put it back in the refrigerator where it belongs, and my life has been much better. My life is better. Your life will be better. Drink cold water. I resonate with this tip strongly. Uh, room temperature water feels like a crime most of the time, and there is very little more refreshing than good cold water. So great tip, uh, scientists, you might be right, but you are making life worse. Therefore we're gonna go with the happier ending.

Ronald, thank you for being our guest tipper for June of 2025. Uh, we really appreciate you joining us, and maybe you'll come back and join us again in the future. I would love to come back. I always have more tips and more unsolicited advice. Wow, this really is an unsolicited advice podcast.
