Oh yeah, I've been following the furor on the IASIP sub... there's a lot of growing disenchantment with the podcast of the late and the direction in which it's been turning (too much of this hawking of snake oil supplements and other "miracle" products, more than is usual for even a celeb-run podcast). I'm glad I just watch the show and don't follow the podcast.

Yeah, I never listened to the Podcast but my husband did and he stopped early on because the trio (McElhenney and Howerton especially, apparently) would get so off-tangent and just talk about their own lives, gigs, etc. He called it quits when McElhenney wouldn't stop ranting about how he nearly fought a guy in an In-N-Out drive thru?

And there seems to be a lot of ire towards Howerton's "vegetables are bad for you" rhetoric he keeps pushing.

idg people who don’t eat vegetables and fruit
I feel gross inside if I go too long without either

I was sick a few weeks ago and literally only the BRAT diet allowed me to keep food inside of me. After a week of bland carbs, I literally cried watching my partner eat a nice bowl of salad. He felt so bad, poor guy. Lol. Anyway, all of this to say I agree! Fruits and veggies are LIFE (and I’m hardly a super health conscious person).

Hard agree. I've had periods where I don't eat enough vegetables (I like fruit but I have to be in the mood for them) and I just feel nasty only eating carbs and meat

As someone who only about 6 years ago finally learned the joys of vegetables I agree. Same thing, I feel grody without.

I actually heard a guy yesterday at the gym say something adjacent to this. He also bitched to his friend that a woman from a dating app said their beliefs didn't align and he didn't get it lol

At least they'll die of scurvy eventually if they don't eat their fruit & veggies.

the same thing happened to me with the Scrubs podcast and it's the reason why I couldn't get past like, 1 and a half episode from both. I don't care about your life at all. Talk about the show.

I don’t listen to it but I hear it’s terrible and Donald is super obnoxious.

[escalena]

He is! He just won't shut up and sometimes Zach Braff is there just reacting. Unfunnily(?

I tried a few episodes of the Psych podcast, but at least 60% of every show is them talking about how much they love their fellow actors and how the set was a family. It was a lil heartwarming the first time, but after the 50th time I deleted the podcast in a huff.
