The episode discusses the popular belief that red wine is healthy, with the host questioning the validity of this claim and debating the cultural norms around drinking wine, particularly in France.
Original TransmissionsThe episode begins with a discussion about the host's preference for garlic bagels, which are often unavailable. This leads to a conversation about the perceived health benefits of red wine, which the host suggests is a 'wives tale' created to sell more alcohol. The host recounts the common belief that in France, teenagers or children would drink small amounts of wine with dinner, and that a couple of glasses of wine or beers per day was considered healthy. However, the host expresses skepticism about these claims, noting that the supposed benefits of red wine, such as the tannins, may not actually be as beneficial as commonly believed. The discussion then shifts to a more lighthearted exchange about the host's interest in a potential in-real-life (IRL) sauna experience, involving nudity and honey, which the host jokingly invites the listeners to participate in.
