Episode notes

I used to use that in English lessons sometimes. Built some learning materials from it. Do you remember the guy who ate McDonald's for a month? I think his name's Morgan Sparlock. That film supersized me. We did an experiment. There's a video where he kept, I think it was a burger from a burger shop and then a McDonald's burger and then chips from a proper chip shop. He kept them all under a plastic container. And he was checking on them every two weeks. They looked exactly the same. Presumably you could have eaten them. You know, and that is quite scary if you think about it.

[Part 2 of 2] Since recording part 1 of this conversation, Antony caught COVID-19 and lost a bit of weight, but he managed to talk for about 100 minutes here about more topics he has previously covered in episodes of his podcast "Life & Life Only". Here we discuss diverse things including the extraordinary feats of endurance by David Blaine🕴🏻, food and dieting 🍔, Stanley Kubrik's film "The Shining" 🪓, the term "conspiracy theory" 🤫, the ways that comedy shows can reveal the truth 🎭, and the complex art of happiness 🙂.
