POLITICAL CORRECTNESS

  • The “Orient” vs “Oriental”
  • Vinnie is not always the best at being PC 
  • Can’t say “black”, must say “African American”, but what if they are African English?

AMAZON WINNER OF THE WEEK

  • Katie Miskell won (Trey will also win by association)
  • She does lots of shopping through the banner ad and her shopping through Amazon has doubled
  • She loves putting some coal in the fire
  • Buy through the banner, submit what you bought, and win a shirt or a hat 

NSNG MEET UP

  • The Beauchamps, some other listeners, Andy, Anna, Serena, Vinnie all worked hard to put it together
    • Many people gave up their whole weekends
  • Next year this will happen again, but probably for a small fee 

COGNITIVE DISSONANCE

  • At Princeton, Vinnie’s seat on the panel was empty
    • They got Vinnie to the panel late
    • It wasn’t his fault — he always runs early!
    • He didn’t know what was going on, who else was on the panel, etc. 
  • One dietician on the panel said eating more carbs (using them to exercise etc.) will burn fat 
    • She was PUSHING a high carb diet 
    • Vinnie likes the lady, but did not like what she was pushing 
      • Ever since the conference, she has been looking into high fat-low carb and has started to agree with it and ask questions!
  • Once you know information and can’t un-know it, but still have to push what is wrong, THAT is cognitive dissonance 
    • Same thing happened to Kate Thompson when she was working for Weight Watchers
      • She had to quit once she realized the truth was not what Weight Watchers was preaching

POOR AMAZON REVIEW

  • Although most reviews are good, there are some people who don’t like Vinnie or the book 
  • DP Brown
  • Heard Vinnie on Adam Corolla show
  • Said you will only get 8 minutes of info per episode, rest is bologna 
    • Listen to ANY Friday show with a Doctor to see how wrong that is 
  • Says book says nothing meaningful 

STEVE PARK

  • Knows how to get lean
  • Believes that eating high carb is the best way to sabotage your figure and your health
    • Not only does it hurt your figure, but that is just poor nutrition 
    • Eventually, eating poorly will catch up with you 
  • Used to eat a lot of grains and sugars, now is low carb
    • Developed a lactose intolerance
