Thanks for the shoutout! I cannot argue with Travis' response. I can see the importance of protein-muscle-health connection since without muscle it's easy to become insulin resistant.

Yeah, Southy is a great accent.

And now for a rant: as far as the hearings with RFK Jr., I think the ones who should be most ashamed of themselves are the Democrat senators I used to adore. They care more about getting footage of themselves interrogating RFK than they care about protecting the health of our country. I'm still waiting for them to apologize to all the people who lost their livelihoods during the pandemic thanks to their draconian measures. Just my opinion.

I totally get that Moorea. In fact, I posted that clip to TikTok and got some pushback of the same kind. Which again, totally get it.

I guess I just don’t see ripping on a politician as a partisan thing because I think they all suck 🤣

Oh, pretty much all politicians ought to be ripped on whenever appropriate. 😆

Good for you for going on TikTok!

I was thinking of men I know who are supporting a family -- namely my friend and brother-in-law -- but neither of them are into sports, so I don't think they'd be the best listeners for your podcast. I'll keep thinking.

Oh wow Moorea, really appreciate that! And no worries, we honestly just have the best time doing it.

I’m not someone who aspires to be famous (quite the opposite actually), but I really enjoy connecting with people about mutual interests. Which is what is so cool about Substack and meeting folks like you.

Good stuff, Henny! I enjoyed the discussion of betting beards. You’ve sparked my thoughts about other types of beards - look for it in an upcoming Rule of Three.

Looking forward to it!

A couple years ago the US stopped saying dietary cholesterol was bad. Europe never said it was bad. Add that to formerly demonized things that are actually essential for health. I like the rule, “If your grandparents wouldn’t recognize it as food, don’t eat it.”

As for accents, North Shore Minnesota is music to my ears. I really like Chicago accents too. If you’ve got 8 hours, Manhunt: Unabomber was an all right miniseries where a Philly accent plays a key role in finding the badguy. Wudder instead of water sparks a crucial realization.

For the Minnesota accent, are you talking about the accents they used in that movie Fargo? They were great.

And agree on the grandparents part. Mostly. My Popi used to love his scrapple. Don’t think you wanna know what was in that 🤣
