Imagine a world where decisions are decided by the roll of a pair of dice. What to eat? Roll the dice. Who to marry? Roll again. How to die, and when? Get rolling. We can only imagine how different our lives might be if we surrendered every decision to the unpredictable fall of two numbered cubes. From Penn Jillette — yes, that Penn Jillette of the legendary duo Penn & Teller — comes Random: a crime novel that aims to bring Jillette's magic from the stage to the page, inviting readers into a caper story that explores ideas like faith and fate with irreverence, wit, and humor. In Random, Las Vegas native Bobby Ingersoll finds out that he has inherited a crushing gambling debt from his father of ill repute, just two weeks before his twenty-first birthday. The debt is owed to the deplorable Fraser Ruphart who oversees a bottom-rung criminal empire, and Bobby's prospects of paying off the note, which is due the day he turns 21, are bleak. In the nick of time, Bobby stumbles on enough cash to pay off the crime lord and change his family's fortune. Perhaps even more significantly, Bobby finds that he has become a “believer” of sorts. But Bobby does not consign his big break to a higher power — what Penn Jillette hero ever could? Instead, he devises and devotes himself to Random, a philosophy where his life choices are based entirely on the roll of his “lucky” dice. What follows is an amusing exploration that's less about what defines us and more about what divines us. Random combines the intellectual curiosity of Richard Dawkins with the humor and grit of an Elmore Leonard antihero, and its protagonist is Jillette's creative solution to navigating the chaos of the post-truth era. Penn Jillette is a cultural phenomenon as a solo personality and as half of the world-famous Emmy Award–winning magic duo Penn & Teller, whose live show spent years on Broadway and is now the longest-running headlining show in Las Vegas. The pair have their own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Jillette cohosted the Showtime series Penn & Teller: Bullshit! which was nominated for thirteen Emmy Awards and won him a Writers Guild Award. He currently cohosts the CW Network competition series Penn & Teller: Fool Us! His weekly podcast, Penn's Sunday School, was the number one downloaded podcast on iTunes during its debut week and was named by iTunes as Best New Comedy Podcast. He is the author of numerous books, including the nonfiction New York Times best-selling books Presto!: How I Made Over 100 Pounds Disappear and Other Magical Tales and God No!: Signs You May Already Be an Atheist and Other Magical Tales; the novel Sock; and the essay collection Every Day Is an Atheist Holiday!

Welcome back to the Fitlandia Podcast! Today we have the pleasure of meeting with Thubten Comerford for another inspiring story of weight loss and transformation. Thubten Comerford has come a long way from his elementary school days when his mother placed him on the Cambridge Weight Plan and he was constantly being reminded he was bigger than the other kids in his class. Growing up active but not athletic, Thubten always struggled with his weight. Upon entering college, he was in the early stages of substance abuse due to conflicting religious boundaries relating to his decision about coming out about his sexual identity. Thubten describes himself at that time as, “a “hot mess.” With no attention being paid to nutrition, he gained the "freshman 50” during his first year of college. He left school soon after and joined the National Guard and then enlisted in the U.S. Navy. After leaving the military, he went back to his parents’ house for a short time and then returned to school only to find himself living in a fraternity house, which escalated his negative drinking habits. A few years after college Thubten became a practicing Buddhist Monk. While traveling and still struggling with his weight, he found himself reading Dr. Peter J. D’Adamo’s, Eat Right 4 Your Type and was quickly motivated for change. He soon dropped 50 pounds by eating right for his blood type and after starting a prescribed diet, dropped another 50! Today, Thubten is 29 years clean and sober, describing it as a yo-yo rollercoaster journey that so many of us can relate to regarding dieting and self-mastery. He has lost another 40 pounds this year, on what he calls “the potato-based coffee diet” and is working to share his impactful story. Books like, Presto! How I Made Over 100 Pounds Disappear and Other Magical Tales, by Penn Jillette, have inspired Thubten during his transformation journey. He’s learned it’s about finding what works for his body while being aware that things change depending on time and environment. Today he knows how to be mindful of his actions since they are often related to deep-rooted thought patterns and forgiving of himself when working past negative emotions or during a setback. As an avid entrepreneur, Thubten was searching for his next career endeavor when he asked himself, “How do I do food as a business that is an expression of me?” With his vast knowledge of business and marketing, culinary skills and understanding of video and YouTube, he recently started producing a cooking show, Thubten’s Kitchen, a 13-episode, multi-segment program that will launch soon on YouTube and be formatted for network television. His Facebook site is live, and has more information, but here’s what each episode offers: The first segment is a culinary training program where expert chefs come into Thubten’s Kitchen and teach him (as the student) to prepare their signature plant-based dish. The second segment is with a farmer in the field. During the third segment, Thubten meets with an artisan making a plant-based cured or fermented ingredient. The closing segment concludes with Thubten making a wonderful plant-based dish using all the ingredients from the episode. The business allows you to pick and choose the cured or fermented ingredients, including Thubten’s own line of products. There’s also a monthly pop-up episode, available on Feastly Portland where Thubten shares his very own recipes and plant-based meal tips. Stay tuned for the Thubten’s Kitchen website for his great information on weight loss, healthy eating and everything nutritionally plant and nutrition based. Closing Tips: Start somewhere and do something – measure something small that you can feel positive about Eat the rainbow and increase your plant based meal options Stay connected with Thubten and his favorite canine companion through Instagram for videos, food as they continue to work on launching his show and website!

Po nieco dłuższej przerwie zapraszamy Was do wysłuchania kolejnego odcinka TOMOGRAFU. W szpitalu, jak zwykle o tej porze roku, bałagan i chaos – wiatr nawiał liści przez wybite okna, deszcze niespokojne utworzyły artystyczne zacieki na ścianach sal i gabinetów – doktorzy – ci nieco trzeźwiejsi – snują się niemrawi i osowiali a w stołówce serwuje się drugiej świeżości groch z kapustą. Takoż i w naszym podkaście króluje małowartościowa wolnoamerykanka gatunków i mediów, których najświeższe wypryski, z właściwym nam brakiem wdzięku, czasem sensu a bywa, że i ochoty, próbujemy omówić. Ten epizod TOMOGRAFU jest tak przygnębiająco słaby – albo, cytując klasyka, “skrajnie ubogi” – że aż nie chce mi się do niego robić szerszego opisu. W sumie nawet gdyby chciało mi się robić opis nieco bardzo rozbudowany, nie miałbym podstaw, na których mógłbym go oprzeć, bo w ciągu tych niespełna dwóch godzin nagrania, nie dzieje się prawie nic ciekawego. Cóż, czujcie się ostrzeżeni ci, którzy tego zamierzacie tego słuchać. Jakkolwiek, gdzieś w okolicach końca nagrania, zmarnowane kilkadziesiąt minut Waszego życia zostanie wynagrodzonych tym, że – UWAGA! – dowiecie się, co AGA do BUZI WKŁADA kiedy NIE GADA! A tymczasem przejdźmy do spisu treści, który jest – staram się utrzymać standard – równie smętny, jak cała reszta tego rozciągniętego do granic możliwości akapitu, który z wielką ulgą kończę. Miłego – akurat! – słuchania! Niech jesienna depresja będzie i z Wami!* * *SPIS TREŚCI, KTÓRY W SUMIE NIE WIEM NAWET PO CO CHCIAŁO MI SIĘ TWORZYĆ:00:00:00 – Kilka czerstwych żartów na początek.00:01:53 – Randall o filmie “ARQ”.
