What's the thrust of this doc?
Eating plants = good, Eating Meat = you will slowly die as your body rejects what you're putting in it
What is your body rejecting, according to the doc? Saturated fats? Antibiotics? Stuff occurring naturally in animal protein, or stuff that's put in there from factory farming?
Blood vessels restrict, stomach bacteria goes haywire...... 'Animals are the middlemen - you only get protein from the plants that they eat' - there was a small bit about the effects of farming on the environment.

Maybe you should watch it, and then report back
Nah, that sounds like a bunch of bullshit.
That's a better summary than mine was

Watched he first episode of Living With Myself and the
Spoiler: show
Tom Brady
cameo was just the best. too hilarious.

Overall it seemed well done, but it would have been better if the previews for netflix shows don't give away the thing that pops up near the end. I didn't tell my son about it at all and he enjoyed the reveal more for it, I think.

Watched the Seth Meyers stand-up and it was pretty good. Definitely a few moments where I actually laughed out loud.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I fell asleep about halfway through, only because I was dog tired. I liked what I saw. I fundamentally reject the idea of a "skip the political jokes" though, if ever there could be a definition of selling out...
But, that was just a joke.

I found the end bit to be where this started to drag. Overall pretty funny though

I meant the end of the politics section, but yeah. The part with his "wife" was funny at times but mostly just OK.

Netflix doing another Beverly Hills Cop, with Eddie Murphy. This will be seperate from the 70 million he is getting from the stand up specials.

So, this is basically a nostalgia tour for him right? A few standups, Coming to America, Beverly Hills Cop...

Thought leading into Christmas I'd give Merry Happy Whatever a go. Made it through maybe 2 minutes before declaring to my wife that I hated it and couldn't do any more
