Episode notes
Comedy Hero Encounters Went Wrong
- James describes meeting two comedy heroes and having disappointing encounters that felt humiliating.
- He recounts Jim Jefferies pushing him and Frankie Boyle making an awkward rapid comment while Sam interacted with him.
Be Skeptical About Unproven Remedies
- Be sceptical of alternative ADHD remedies that lack robust research and rely on anecdotes.
- If you try supplements, track effects and watch for interactions with prescribed medication and consult your doctor.
