Honestly, I'm glad you're not using a PhD as a crutch or claim to credibility. I've heard people with PhD's spout the same crap as those with no degrees or certifications; it's no guarantee of correctness.

  1. Is it okay if whey is my main source of protein?

  2. Is digestion/absorption a problem if protein is ingested mostly in one sitting?

  3. Are artificial sweeteners bad for us or not? Everything seems inconclusive.

  4. This might be out of your jurisdiction, but are aluminum-based antiperspirants bad?

  5. How many servings of vegetables or fruits should I actually be eating per day? Also, how much fiber do you recommend?

  6. Since the brain's metabolism relies mostly on glucose for energy, what is the effect of low-carb dieting on the brain?

  7. Excess fat can be stored as fat, excess carbs are stored as glycogen, right? What about excess protein?

  8. Most of my protein comes from eggs, whey, and beans. Is this quality of protein inferior to meats, or is it the same? Is there such a thing as differing qualities of protein?

  1. It seems to me that it’s easier for North American comedians to achieve success in the UK/elsewhere than for Britain-based comedians to do the same over here. For example, there are comedians like John Bishop who do can do stadium gigs in the UK but hardly anyone knows him over here. Why do you think this is? If you could go back in time, would you still go to the UK or would you try to stay in Canada or the US instead?

  2. I’ve heard some British comedians complain about the glut of panel shows, but as an Canadian-American, I don’t mind because over here we have a glut of talk shows. There’s Kimmel, Conan, Fallon, Ellen, Seth Myers, Trevor Noah, Colbert, Corden, Maher, etc. I personally find the average panel show to be more enjoyable than the average talk show. What’s your take on this?

  3. How did you get started in comedy in the first place and end up across the pond? How did you then make the transition to doing more panel shows? How did you support yourself financially when you were starting out?

  4. Taskmaster is the best and you were great on it. This isn’t really a question.

  5. Who are your favorite comedians of all time/favorite ones active today?

  6. I’m not British but one of the things which got me into British comedy more - apart from trying to escape all the American talk shows - was that American culture seems far more prudish. On British TV, people are way more relaxed about swearing and talking about sex and stuff. It also seems like Americans are much more easily offended and can’t take a joke as well. Do you think this is true? Do you have to change your material at all depending on where you’re performing?

  7. What is your favorite kind of comedy to do? Stand-up, panel shows, sketches, comic acting, writing, etc.

  8. < 3

Yeah, sorry, I'm a failing writer so that's probably why.

I'm no pro bodybuilder, but I am fairly active and I have fairly big legs as a result. I haven't bought anything from Outlier yet, but thank you SO MUCH for putting an upper thigh measurement on your pant sizing charts. However, do you think you could include a neck measurement for your shirt size charts? That would be very helpful.

Also, I just wanted to say that the whole concept of a shirt that repels sweat would be mighty appealing to those who have to suffer wearing suits and dress clothes in summer. Personally, I would empty my wallet for sweat-resistant dress shirts if you're planning on making such a thing.

Edit: any kind of sweat-resistant clothing would be awesome, come to think of it. Also khakis.
