An author once said, we need four hugs a day for survival.

We need eight hugs a day for maintenance.

We need 12 hugs a day for growth.

Gotta tell you.

Man, that sounds like a lot of time.

A lot of hugs.

I feel like it's a little excessive, but I remember during COVID not hugging anyone.

Yeah, right.

And when I finally got Shelby, my dog in my house,

and I was able to actually hug her, I felt so much better,

and I felt so much more human.

So I do think that there's something to that.

Now, I don't think you need to be hugging someone all day long.

It's a lot of volume.

Yeah.

It's a lot of volume of hugs.

Warn all, grab me and force a hug, because I don't just give them.

No.

So when he catches me coming through, he'll be like, come on.

Bring it, I'm like, and then I hug him like,

bring it in, then I'm like,

like, it's painful.

But he likes them and needs them.

Yeah.

And he's a good hug.

I would never think about it.

You know, it's always funny.

People that hug you and they pat.

I do not like a pat.

I don't like a pat either.

In personal and makes it feel uncomfortable.

Yeah.

And you don't want to be doing it.

And then just don't hug me.

This wouldn't be anything anyone else experiences,

but again, back to Warn's hug program.

He also will not let go.

And I'm like, this is why you don't get them.

Really?

And you have to force your way out of it.

He does it to everybody.

He'd do it to his mom, to our friends.

I'm like, see, you don't know when to let go.

And that's why you don't get hugs.

And that social awareness.

I'm like, what's going on there?

No.

But he knows he's doing it.

Yeah, right.

Now you understand that some women may look at that

as a pretty good sign that the relationship is healthy.

Well, send your emails this way.

I'll see what I can do for you.

I'll try to hook you up.

maniac.

Some research also suggests that people who get

hugged more handle stress better.

And hugs release oxy toxin.

There's a tosen.

Tosen.

It's tosen.

Oxy toxin would be something different.

That's what you put in the laundry, right?

Which is often called the love hormone.

This helps you feel safe and supported.

Never underestimate the power of a hug,

but make sure they're consensual.

Well, yeah, of course.

Mine are always against my will,

but I realize I have to give back sometimes.

I'll be like, here, come get it.

My arms at my sides.

Oh, my God.

It is.

What a real dream.

It is funny that I know why he's sitting around.

I really know.

It is funny though about saying the consensual part,

because I think in what we do for our jobs,

there's a lot of hugging.

We tend to,

and it's true.

We tend to be a part of many people's lives

who we don't personally know.

Right, but they know us.

When we meet them, they feel like they know us.

So people hug us all the time,

which is actually really nice.

Oh, hi.

But you know,

sometimes people aren't huggers though,

and they don't want they don't want that interaction.

And conversely, I'll come at you a perfect stranger with a hug.

Warren can't get anything in his own house,

but I'm going right after someone.

I know I hugged like six people.

I didn't know what to tell you what their Facebook name is.

And you recognize them.

Then you're hugging.

You're hugging them.

Yeah, I just, I don't know what that is.

I love when you go to hug a person that doesn't,

that that totally is awkward.

And you go to hug them and they go,

oh, we're doing this.

All right.

Yeah, let's do it.

When somebody says, oh, all right,

when you're about to hug them,

yeah, don't hug them.

I know.

Well, to sometimes it's too late.

Yeah, yeah, you're gonna need a hug.

Yeah, I'm already, I'm already coming at you.

What are you going to do about it now, Beverly?
