Episode notes

Yes Minister is a comedy show about a member of Parliament, a minister in the government. The main characters are the MP and his permanent secretary. It's interesting that the comedy can kind of reveal the truth, but it somehow, because it's comedy, people don't take it seriously. If you're looking for an interesting bit of British comedy to watch that's really well written then that's a good one.

[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 🙂.
