Episode notes

A conspiracy theory is the idea that two or more people have got together in a secret way and planned something. Michael Kosmoth: I prefer the term alternative explanation because it doesn't come so loaded. It's the idea that the official story that we're given may not be everything we need to know, he says. "I guess just a mixture of credible ones and a ridiculous 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 🙂.
