    I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Dr Now in H-Town, he’s an interesting character.

    Tinman likes to talk about all the dumb people who focus on pop culture while simultaneously being the only person who focuses on pop culture

    Yea shows a wierd misunderstanding of how the market works. The cable tv didn't make and force down stupid tv on us, the market demands dumb mindless tv and thus they make it. Sort of how we all feed into drama of soap opera nba world during hte offseason, I've always said its senseless tmz stuff that has nothing to do with the game, I also pay attention...its on me...the market turns off, theres no money for the trash tv...but it sells, don't imagine that stopping sadly. Its like asking @tinman to spend his fandom energy on if the deals make are fair to Landry's inc. Some people like to stick up for the big guy, you do you man.

    Hollywood greed vs health
    People might get the wrong idea that being healthy is a great idea for a tv show and wealth
