That's my third favorite opening since the OG Farnsworth voice and JunkshopLibrary's. (Okay, JunkshopLibrary is my partner, so I'm biased, but my feelings haven't changed.) I'm happy your father-in-law got a damn fine and canny doctor.

I have a brother who is anti science who has told a family member that needs to eat animal products that her doctor is lying and to just stop eating meat 😩

Surely the most heterophobic thing you could call David Barton would be "David Barton".

Hey so kinda related to your discussion at the end of the episode about veganism. I'm not a vegan myself but I totally agree that it's the more moral position. While it isn't really realistic right now for everyone to become vegan, do you think we'll get there eventually? Personally I think so but it'll take a while and a huge cultural shift

About the excuses the person gave you for eating meat. A few people in my family don't get B12 like most people. One of them tried to be vegan when they were younger and then a doctor advised them to stop, because the disorder was not known at that time. Not that eating meat would have worked, but lacking B12 is common with vegans. Nowadays they just get medicine and I can't think of any reason why a disorder would force you to eat meat.

Eli mentioned this in a batshit crazy Veganism video on GAM

So weird people come after Eli for his veganism. He is probably the least sanctimonious vegan ever and usually only references it to talk about how tough it is to go out to dinner with him

I work in a hospital in a rural town in Texas. I connected to this diatribe on an emotional level.

Also, I really like the idea of having the outtakes from the commercials after the commercials themselves. I think that setup helps the patrons appreciate the humor instead of having to go back and re-listen. Just a suggestion!

'Hey Jørgen, I need you and Astrid to start the campaign as clerics.' 'WFT man? You promised we could be Vix n' Fax the half-elf twin bards this time!' 'Bear with me, it's only going to be a few levels and then you can multiclass into whatever but I need someone to loose their faith around march or so, when a horrific spellplague hits. I'm calling it "Floo Seasons of Total Planescape"' 'You're doing this for that Pew poll, aren't you?' '...No?'

Matt Powell, just put a picture of yourself on r/tributeme and you'll learn how much people love you.

I assume the Autism scare has been been birthed, or contributed to, by the increase in adult autism diagnosis. Forget that some of those diagnosis being misdiagnosed because we still know only so much about mental health (though we unarguably know a hell of a lot more than we used to) it is very quite possible that a good majority of those diagnosed should have diagnosed as children but due to having Slipped through the cracks on account of the gaps in our knowledge & understanding of autism was even larger & more profound that it is now (at a point where many of those gaps are being filled in more & more at faster rates thanks to the help from well educated autistic people contributing to our knowledge & understanding.
