Episode 51: Tom Naughton

Thank you for tuning in for another episode of Life’s Best Medicine. Joining the show today is film-maker, blogger, comedian, journalist, and author Tom Naughton. He is the creator of the 2009 documentary film, Fat Head, and is the author the children’s book, Fat Head Kids.

In this episode, Brian and Tam discuss censorship on Twitter, the problem with taboo discussion topics in scientific fields and in society at large, the similarities between athletes and standup comedians, the dissolution of discourse in the United States, and Post-Modernist philosophy.

Life’s Best Medicine According to Tom: “You have to be who you are. You have to be the best you that you can be, but you have to be who you are. There are people who are going to like you— those are your people—and there are people who are not going to like you—those are not your people. Do not ever change who you really are so that the people who are not your people anyway might like you a little better”

Thank you for listening. Have a blessed day and stay healthy!
