  • I’ve never managed to watch the whole series. There’s great bits but I get super uncomfortable with Walters bumbling, flagrant dishonesty with his wife and family. I get the same thing with a few different shows and I just don’t enjoy it. To the point where I find myself just switching the TV off mid way through a scene and going to do something else without even really thinking about it.

    If I had to describe the sensation it would be “extreme toe-curling cringe”.


  • I listened to a podcast about his life & times, some of the sources they used included his love letters which added a whole other dimension to his character. You have this immensely powerful and gifted military leader, feared across Europe, writing to a 19 year old he just met at a party about how he’s just going to die of sadness if she doesn’t write back to him immediately.

    It’s a question of wage costs and consistency. Patties are easy enough but time consuming. Baking a good burger bun is a pretty specific skill as well as time consuming, and requires a lot of space and a good oven.

    Unless you’ve got customers happy to pay $40 for your artisan crafted burgers I don’t think it’d work.
