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.

Porto? I thought this was just okay. He's got real mask of death vibes in this one that is hard to watch, where everyone else's "cycle of life" comments become for him a sort of black pit of despair. Porto looks like a good time though.

I get that vibe from him a lot though. He wasn't long for this world and it often showed.

And yeah, Porto looks awesome. My mom's family is all Portuguese and yet I've never been. I loved watching him eat all the food I grew up eating, and some I'd never been exposed to, like that amazing sandwich.

I think the US ones are fun jumping off points for how to travel in America. Even if I'm not visiting a particular city on the show, I'll explore the cities I do visit with the same sort of spirit. Or my own city. I'll admit the Charleston one with pre-sober Sean Brock is a tough watch. Sean looks awful.
