As Mike Leigh's five-decade career takes centre stage at the Paris Cinémathèque for a retrospective, the British filmmaker speaks to Eve Jackson about 50 years of making movies, from the raw intensity of "Naked" and the jubilant optimism of "Happy-Go-Lucky", to historical storytelling in "Peterloo" and "Mr Turner". With accolades like the Palme d'Or for "Secrets & Lies" at the Cannes Film festival and the Golden Lion for "Vera Drake" at Venice, at 82 Leigh continues to illuminate humanity's complexities with his latest film "Hard Truths".

This time, Ashley chooses HAPPY-GO-LUCKY and it's a Mike Leigh rematch! Long ago on Ep.8, Dave chose Leigh's NAKED (1993), which featured male characters so repellent that Ashley found the entire viewing experience to be extremely unpleasant. Now six years later, we discuss a Mike Leigh film she adores, longtime favorite HAPPY-GO-LUCKY, a seemingly lighthearted comedy simmering with tension and darkness. Sally Hawkins gives a brilliant, compulsively watchable performance as Poppy, a cheerful, free-spirited schoolteacher whose big heart and impulsive nature lead her straight into a series of unsettling encounters that her unshakeable sense of humor may not able to deliver her from.

It's Thanksgiving week, which for many of us means eating too much turkey and pumpkin pie. For others, it means getting into arguments with your Gen Z cousin who, in a fit of righteous rage, calls you a settler colonialist and storms out of the dining room. Whatever your holiday may bring, we here at Honestly wanted to bring you a drop of delight from none other than the most delightful man on planet Earth: David Sedaris. Sedaris is a humorist and author of many best-selling books: Calypso, Theft by Finding, Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Naked, Holidays on Ice, Barrel Fever. . . and most recently, Happy-Go-Lucky, which I had the privilege of talking to him about last December. It's probably my favorite episode of all time. What makes David's writing so unforgettable is his ability to find something meaningful and true in the utterly mundane; the way he finds humor in the most horrific moments in life; and his commitment to the lost art of making fun of ourselves. So for today's episode, we are thrilled to have David here to read an essay he calls “Punching Down.” It is funny, it is frank, and fair warning, if you are a parent of small children, it might also be a little bit offensive.

Comments by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Maria: Hello everyone, today is June 2, 2023, and we want to re-visit our discussion about the drug Tirzepatide from our May 19th, 2022. A little re-cap for those of you who don't know, tirzepatide, also known by the brand name Mounjaro, is a drug that was approved by the FDA a year ago for the treatment of type 2 Diabetes. It is similar to the drug Semaglutide, also known by the brand name Ozempic which many of you may be more familiar with, thanks to the Kardashians and other celebrities making it popular as a “weight loss” drug. Arreaza: The brand name for weight semaglutide is Wegovy.Maria: Both of these drugs are injected once a week and mimic the effect of the incretin hormone GLP-1 by binding to its receptor. Incretin hormones are a group of hormones that cause insulin to be released from the pancreas after eating to help lower blood sugar levels. These incretin hormones also help suppress the appetite, causing you to eat less and lose weight. Tirzepatide is different because it is the first drug to mimic the action of two hormones, both GLP-1 and GIP. In our last episode, we also discussed the SURPASS-2 study that showed tirzepatide to be superior to semaglutide because of this dual incretin action, with greater weight loss, lower HA1c levels, and lower triglyceride and VLDL levels. At that time, we also mentioned the SURMOUNT-1 Phase 3 clinical trial that was ongoing at the time. Well, it is now complete, and the results are in. There were 2,539 obese or overweight participants without diabetes in the study who lost between 16-22.5% of their starting weight on Tirzepatide. On 15 mg dose, participants lost about 52 lbs (24 kg), on 10 mg 49 lbs (22 kg) and on 5 mg about 35 lbs (16 kg), but those on the placebo lost only 2.4% or about 5 lbs (2 kg). As you can see there is very little difference in weight loss between the 10 mg dose and the 15 mg dose, although a big difference is seen compared to the 5 mg dose. It's important to note that they took Tirzepatide for 72 weeks or a year and a half. Arreaza: That's very significant weight loss. It is important to emphasize that these patients did NOT have diabetes. Maria: These weight loss results have proven to be comparable to bariatric surgery. The study also showed improvement in cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors such as lower blood pressure, fasting insulin, lipid levels and even aspartate aminotransferase levels in comparison to the placebo. By the end of the study, more than 95% of the participants who had pre-diabetes had converted to normal glucose levels. This study was so impressive that it was presented at the 82nd Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association and was also published in The New England Journal of Medicine. Arreaza: It seems like tirzepatide is ahead of the game for weight loss.Maria: Although it is approved as a drug for diabetes, the next step is to approve it for weight loss and to begin treating obesity as a chronic disease that needs to be treated. Maria: And this makes sense. Currently, more than 4 in 10 American adults have obesity, and obesity is the cause of many other conditions. Just yesterday, I was seeing patients in the orthopedic clinic and I had several patients being seen for knee pain due to obesity, and they are postponing surgery because they have been losing weight on tirzepatide and are already feeling better. I think avoiding knee surgery alone is a pretty good reason to approve these drugs for weight loss, but there are many other conditions that are improved by weight loss. Arreaza: My anecdotes are related to semaglutide, but I can imagine that this may also apply to tirzepatide. I had a patient who was able to stop all antihypertensive medications because of 40-lb weight loss. Maria: Dr. Caroline Apovian, director of the Center for Weight Management and Wellness at Brigham Women's Hospital, states that “If everybody who had obesity in this country lost 20% of their body weight, we would be taking patients off all these medications for reflux, for diabetes, for hypertension. We would not be sending patients for stent replacement.”Maria: Last month, officials from Eli Lilly, the company that makes tirzepatide, stated that they are hoping to have a fast-track approval to sell it for chronic weight management by sometime this year. The problem is that many of these patients who were prescribed Tirzepatide have not been able to get it because it has been out of stock for the last few months in all the local pharmacies. They get the prescription, start taking Tirzepatide and begin to lose weight or improve their blood sugar levels and then it is out of stock and now you have people with Diabetes who have gotten off insulin because Tirzepatide worked so well and suddenly they can't get it and are at risk for getting pretty sick without it. Arreaza: The manufacturer of Wegovy announced this, “we will only be able to supply limited quantities of 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, and 1 mg dose strengths to wholesalers for distribution to retail pharmacies which will not meet anticipated patient demand. We anticipate that many patients will have difficulty filling Wegovy® prescriptions at these doses through September 2023. We do not currently anticipate supply interruptions of the 1.7 mg and 2.4 mg dose strengths of Wegovy®”. Why is this happening? Maria: The problem is that this drug was not meant for the masses, for all these young girls wanting to lose a few pounds for aesthetic reasons. It was meant for people with a BMI 30 or with a BMI 27 plus another comorbidity such as hypertension. Celebrities have brought attention to these drugs for weight loss, for example Ozempic has over 433 million views on TikTok. It has gotten so bad that people are turning to questionable sources online to purchase these drugs, where it is given cute names like “skinny shots.” And if your insurance does not cover Tirzepatide, it is still expensive, starting at around $1000 per month. Some of the insurers who used to cover the cost stopped covering it or placed new restrictions on who qualifies. Another downside is that tirzepatide and other drugs of this class have not been on the market that long, so the long-term effects are still not known. So far, early evidence shows that most people gain the weight back as soon as they stop taking it, so are the weight loss benefits sustainable at this high cost? Maria: We talked about the adverse effects in the last episode, but it's important to go over them again. Patients can have diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, constipation, and abdominal pain that can often bring these patients into the clinic or even the Emergency room thinking they are ill, when in fact it is an adverse effect of their medication, especially the first few days of starting or increasing the dose. So, educating patients is very important before they start this new drug. There is also a small risk of pancreatitis or gallbladder problems, so it is important to have blood work done to check the pancreas and gallbladder prior to starting tirzepatide. There is also a warning to avoid using it if you have a family or personal history of thyroid cancer. Arreaza: Reminder, MEN type 1. I would like to mention the so-called “Ozempic face”. It is the face you get with rapid weight loss, making you look a little older due to fat loss on the face. As a summary, tirzepatide is a very effective medication for weight loss, pending FDA approval. It is not free of side effects, so we still need to follow the recommendations from FDA and other reputable sources to prescribe it responsibly. There is room for further research on these medications. Currently, there are no clear guidelines regarding labs before starting treatment (lipase?) or labs for monitoring after treatment. The evidence regarding these medications continues to evolve and we should stay up to date with the changes. _______________________Conclusion: Now we conclude episode number 142 “Tirzepatide II.” Future Dr. Beuca came back almost one year later to shed more light on the use of tirzepatide in the treatment of obesity. Dr. Arreaza provided some insight into the management of side effects and the potential harm of this novel medication. Overall, tirzepatide is effective and safe and may be the answer to many of our patients with diabetes and obesity. This week we thank Hector Arreaza and Maria Beuca.

Presented to by: Show Notes How'd you get into the outdoor life and more specifically, mountain biking? I was lucky enough to be born and raised here in Durango. so yeah, I was able to surround myself with bike racing and outdoors and getting to enjoy that. And that's kind of just what this community's all about is bike riding, but also just outdoor activities and really getting to be outside. So, I grew up doing that and, race mountain bikes all growing up and then ended up racing professionally on the road for a couple of years and then have, kind of slowly. gotten into coaching and, race support stuff. And, this will be my second year doing the directing for the Iron Horse. So, yeah, it's a pretty special race and then it's a pretty special thing that I get to do, for a living. You're the second generation to, to be affiliated with The Iron Horse. Do I have that right? It's kind of had a couple directors throughout the years. the longest-running being, Ed Zink and Gaige Sippy. Ed was the founder and had run it, for many, many years. And then Gaige did another 18-year stint. Then there was a couple of other single-year, couple-year people throughout there. This will be my fifth year being part of the organization and then, my second year doing the full director role. So for some of our listeners who might not know, tell us about the Iron Horse Classic. How it started, what it is, etc. It's our 51st year. The competition of it really started with two brothers, the Mayer brothers, one was a train engineer and the other one was a bike rider. And they bet each other candy bar on who could get to Silverton the quickest, Durango to Silverton. And, so they set that up one day, raced each other, and from there, Ed Zink, our founder, kind of was like, wait, that sounds like a pretty cool idea to, you know, race the train to Silverton every year. And Durango wasn't in the tourism world as much. It was definitely coming out of that mining era still. And so tourism and trying to find something to bring people to town was a big thing for Memorial Day weekend. And, so it's kind of grown from that. So we can't leave everybody hanging, that first one, who won the biker or the, or the train? The biker. He was very strategic in how he planned it and he pulled it off and, and he actually came back for the 50th last year and rode it. So what kind of people attend, obviously bicyclists, but I'm sure now it's kind of a full-on event, so I'm sure there are tourists as well right? Yeah, we bring in a ton of people. Our largest category is our tour stuff that's really going back to racing the train. All the people that race each other and do the race categories, you know, they race each other more than anything. And then the tour stuff is really the accomplishment of number one, getting to Silverton over two mountain passes, and then, if you can make it within the three and a half hours it takes the train to do it over those 50 miles. So, that, that's our bread and our butter and really what we've relied on and what is historic about this event. What are some of the other events? We really kind of, started to get back to try and embrace that festival atmosphere after Covid, which really put a dent in our festival side of it. We brought it back pretty quickly, just the race. But now that we kind of have that clear, vision, we're back to hosting more of that festival side. We're doing, a fun race for packet pickup, there's a bike parade that's part of a brewery. Friday night they launch a Face Pint Ale, which is an Iron Horse specific beer. So yeah, we just, we have kind of have our fingers in as much as we can to really give back to the community and support the people that support us. What kind of train was the original? Was it steam-powered or coal-fired? We're a coal-fired steam train here. They just converted them to some other, products so it's not so damaging to the environment. It's mainly our fire risk they've had. So they're running oil ones a lot, which are, they look the same as the steam. They're still a steam train. It's a state steam train. It's, really the big one for Durango. It's a narrow gauge steam train. So it's the only one the country still running that's on the narrow gauge. it was kind of standard way back when. That's kind of what really draws, The train enthusiasts on that side. What do you think has driven the growth over the years? Obviously the growth in mountain biking, but is there anything else? Becoming a tourist destination, is that really putting you on the map? Yeah, that's definitely a big part of it. And, you know, it's had some strong leadership. It's really helped keep it fresh. And just not being stuck, you know, here's the way we do it, and that's the only thing we do, and to be able to kind of have those other fun things. So I bet you've had some repeat attendees. What do you think keeps 'em coming back? I think a lot of it's just the community and the excitement of being able to come to Durango. We've started to really keep track of that. We've got two people that have done it 32 times, two people that have done it 29 times, and two people that have done it 28 times. There are some pretty diehard people out there, and I think it's just really, the community, the fun weekend. That achievement of being able to make the ride. Right. You know, if it's a beautiful day, it's a pretty special place to be on a Memorial Day weekend. Have you had some bad weather? Yeah, and this year was a big one, the weather's been on, on and off, but, we've had so much snow we've gotta watch out for avalanches or things like that. That's gonna be our big one really for both the train and the cyclists. The train I think is gonna do okay, but yeah, it is very much a possibility that they could have interruptions due to snow sliding Does planning the following year's event keep you busy the entire season? Once the race ends and everything's done, do you take it all down, or do you immediately kick back in for next year? We get pretty close. I'm trying to make it a little more that way. We've definitely relied on our community and our locals. I want to kind of branch out and kind of keep the word out about the event. You know, do more things like this and telling our story to the community through podcasts and other things. And just keep the excitement high What other outdoor activities do you participate in? We were lucky enough to have a lot of snow this year, so I got to get out and cross-country ski. Rafting, kind of just getting out to the southwest and be able to, you know, jump on the water, do those kinds of things. pretty open-ended. Do you have any suggestions or advice for folks wanting to get into the outdoor industry? Yeah, I think, a lot of it comes down to kind of what we were talking about of just like your inspiration and finding that clear vision of what you want your product or your, brand or event to be, and kind of what that represents, as an actual product and, and what people see the company as. And it's the ability to give back or support things or help innovate things. I think that's the biggest thing that we try to do, is just kind of, look at all those things and, and make it better and try to make the community of events and bike racing better. Continuous improvement. In all the years you've been doing this now, what do you think on the business side of it has been your biggest learning? What do you think's been the biggest eye-opener for you and the most things you had to learn to make it happen? Yeah. I mean the process is the process. Knowing your community and what its tolerances are. What they want so you're not at a negative with your community off the start. But I think the most I've learned is really just kind of what your marketing is and what your story is. So much of bike racing these days or events is getting people to come to them and really depends on you telling the story that. They should come because it's, it's a good story and a good feeling and a good, event. I think that that's the biggest thing I've learned is what story you're telling, what you want it to be. What's your favorite piece of outdoor gear under a hundred dollars? For cycling it's a lot of cycling computers have been the fun one. Really getting to explore new things. Having that accessibility to throw your computer on your bike and go explore a new route. Cuz you have that access now and you can wander, but you can also get to explore some new things that you've dug out through the maps and those things. I think that's some of the fun things. How about one of your favorite books? David Sedaris, that's kind of one of my, you know, big ones. Me and my wife read him quite a bit and he just came with a new book, so that's been kind of top of mind recently. Happy Go Lucky. And really trying to just stay engaged with the cycling world too, in that same kind of footnote of magazines, you know, all the media. We have, a new media source that just came out through town, so yeah, it's a, it's an amazingly changing world. As we wrap up, is there anything else you'd like to say or ask of our listeners? Yeah, I think just, we're excited to be continuing on past the 50th and looking forward to just kind of having that continued growth and trying new things and offering, you know, the new newest things in bike racing, whether that's gravel or who knows what's gonna be next, you know, so it's a cool, changing world, and we like to change with it and kind of be a part of that. So, be excited to see anyone come out and enjoy the four corners for Memorial Day weekend. It's a beautiful place.

David Sedaris is our guest this week and next. Our conversation with him was so delightful and insightful that we could find no way to edit our conversation to just one podcast without leaving out too much of the “good stuff'. David is unique. He writes marvelous essays of observation about modern life drawing much of his material from audiences who come to listen to him read and with whom he spends considerable time interacting. He writes about serious family issues he's encountered with great humor. He writes about playing a Christmas elf at Macy's, and how can that fail to draw a chuckle? “Happy-Go-Lucky” is his latest collection of essays. But there are many. We loved everything of his we read. You will too. Books mentioned in this podcast: Happy-Go-Lucky by David Sedaris Calypso by David Sedaris Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris Carnival of Snackery: Diaries (2003-2020) by David Sedaris SantaLand Diaries by David Sedaris Theft by Finding: Diaries (1997-2002) by David Sedaris Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk by David Sedaris Naked by David Sedaris The Best of Me by David Sedaris Holidays on Ice by David Sedaris When You Are Engulfed in Flames by David Sedaris Barrel Fever by David Sedaris Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim by David Sedaris
Honestly, I really expected to call this episode “Covid Sedaris” because David Sedaris had just tested positive for COVID when we taped the interview. But when we spoke, he wasn't feeling it much at all. Had some symptoms that might have been allergies or COVID but were barely noticeable. Other people have it a lot worse, he says.David has been delighting audiences for 30 years now, ever since the broadcast of Santaland Diaries. His latest book, Happy-Go-Lucky, is deceptively titled, containing a lot of stories and memories that are pretty painful. David's father died last year at age 98 and liberated David to share some things he hasn't shared so openly before. He talks about how his father ridiculed him, belittled him, and just flat out didn't like him. He shares the story of being invited to give the commencement address at Princeton and bringing along his dad, who told the university president that they should have booked his sister Amy Sedaris instead.David also shares stories of his sister Tiffany, who died by suicide in 2013. He's caught heat over the years for writing and talking about how difficult it was for him to deal with her when she was at her most unstable. He also talks about the charges of abuse Tiffany made against David and their father before he died.There are still plenty of laughs in the interview because, come on, it's David Sedaris, but there's also pain and melancholy that you might not have heard from him before.Get your copy of David Sedaris' Happy-Go-Lucky wherever books are sold.Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.

David Sedaris is a humorist and author of many best selling books: Calypso, Theft By Finding, Let's Explore Diabetes With Owls, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Naked, Holidays On Ice, Barrel Fever… just to name a few. He's also one of my favorite writers of all time. What makes Sedaris – who got his start on NPR back in 1992 with his, now famous, Santaland Diaries essay about the time he worked as a Christmas Elf at Macy's – so mesmerizing and funny, is his ability to find something meaningful and true in the utterly mundane, the way he finds humor in the most horrific moments in life, and his commitment to the lost art of making fun of ourselves. Nowhere is that more clear than in his newest book, Happy-Go-Lucky. Like most of his writing, it's a book about his beloved and crazy family. But it's also a book about some of the most contentious societal issues of the last few years. For the writer who so many think of as a public radio darling, the pages of Sedaris' new book are not like what you find on today's member stations. He writes about observing Black Lives Matter protests and COVID lockdowns with such candor – and without agenda or moral ideology – which results in something not only hilarious and relatable, as usual, but also extraordinarily refreshing. So for today, if you find yourself tuning in from an overcrowded plane, a car full of bickering cousins, or maybe you miraculously get a quiet moment to yourself on a long and snowy walk, this is the perfect episode for you… and, hopefully, the perfect holiday escape.
