ACCENTS

  • CCR sang with a cajun accent even though they are from CA
  • New Orleans and the bayou had very different accents
  • Donaldsonville accent is very endearing
    • Vinnie just visited his family here 

GUN ISSUE

  • Vinnie believes people kill people, not guns
  • So many shootings all over the country
    • bad people with guns 
  • Growing up in the bayou, everyone went to school with guns in their cars in plain sight
    • Never any shootings or anything of the sort 

THIS WEEK'S AMAZON WINNER

  • He bought textbooks (~$600) through Vinnie's site! 

GARY TAUBES

  • Read his NY Times article here!
  • He is a science writer 
  • Sums up science of different diets 
    • How calorie counts don't work, etc.
    • Eating less hurts
    • Semi-neurosis on just 1600 calories
    • Two different diets
      • 1900 calories both
      • 1 fat restricted and 1 carb restricted diet
        • It was only 6 days so low fat diet worked
          • In the LONG RUN, low fat WOULD NOT work

  • Didn't eat little piece of chocolate or grapes
