  • Mostly good, but can the bro talk

    Usually good guests, and I do learn a lot - yes, there are some clunkers in there, but that’s what the delete swipe is for. I think the host Chuck is likable, but the severe bro talk is SO cringe - Just his style, I guess, but annoying.

With our stationary lifestyle and lack of sleep these so called food is affecting everyone. If I eat oatmeal, bread, god forbid a bowl of cereal with a plant base milk, my blood glucose will spike over... more
