At one point in the article, the author goes into a rather strange aside to talk about how much he dislikes Hugh Jackman.

He was the registrar at my university, a Brit, married to a New Zealander. Wonderful dinner. We met all the kids. One of them was Keala Settle, their 9 year old girl. Keala Settle was the fat lady in The Greatest Showman, who sang "This is Me," that Brandon and Dan discussed at about 37:30. She won the 2018 Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song, and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song, and my wife and I ate dinner with her when she was 9.

To be fair, when he was just writing during the early years he was doing 1 or 2 scripts a year. Once he was showrunner he was doing 7 or 8 scripts a year plus overseeing all the other scripts and managing everything else in the production. They're very different jobs. And then for whatever insane reason adding the Sherlock workload on top of that... Also he'd said and done everything he wanted and was ready to be done after Matt and the 50th anniversary, but was sort of forced to stay on for Capaldi's era because there a simply wasn't anyone else capable of running it available. He was pretty clearly burnt out by the end of both shows and needed a break.

You know who has probably ate at a table in his life? Hugh Jackman

[@SirDeathDark]

Lactose tolerance (lactase persistence), is actually a collection of mutations as it was evolved several times by different groups. The only thing all the groups have in common was that they regularly consumed dairy, with less strong variants developed in regions where they made the milk into cheese, and stronger variants developing in regions where it was drank (which would be regions where it was cold enough often enough to keep the milk from spoiling).

[@cbpd89]

So what I'm hearing is that my ability to eat cheese means I'm a mutant of some kind. It's not laser vision or telepathy, but I'll take it. I'd rather eat ice cream than hear what people are thinking anyway.

[@PeteQuad]

People treat it as an on/off switch but you can build lactose tolerance and most people can have a little bit fine and if they wish slowly add more to their diet. Also adding those tasty lactaid tablets into your first bite basically gives you the missing enzymes.

You're not giving the table enough credit.

[@kendalldoer5466]

Just a quick biochemistry clarification: the ability to digest lactose isn’t a mutation per se. Everyone is born with the ability to digest it (that’s how babies can breastfeed) but the gene that controls enzyme production is turned off as we age. The “mutation” is that some people (generally Northern Europeans) evolved to be able to continue metabolizing lactose. The main theory for this is that milk is high in vitamin D. Normally humans generate vitamin D when in the sun (because UV light breaks down cholesterol into vitamin D). However in the North people didn’t have enough sun time, so they adapted to get supplementary vitamin D from milk. Loved the episode btw! More table talk please.

I adore these two! Also, SOOO glad to see the love Hugh gets. I like him soooooo much and agree that he makes everything better just by being there. Adjacent to what Brandon and Dan mentioned, I told my friend already a few decades ago that if you had the word "charismatic" in the dictionary, Hugh Jackman's photo underneath it would suffice as the definition. For what it's worth, I have always found there was a reason they made Leopold the inventor of the lift in "Kate and Leopold" - he came into the future, therefore did not invent the lift in that timeline, Liev Schreiber's character fell into the shaft, was taken to the hospital and Leopold was stranded in the future in Stuart's flat instead of being sent right back, giving all the following events a chance to unfold.

[@tannerprince9730]

9:00 Ok Dan, here’s how it actually happened from a biologist’s perspective. Early lactose intolerant (i.e. metabolically normal) human groups in the Middle East and Northern Europe started giving children milk from cows and goats as a sort of mom-hasn’t-eaten-in-two-days-and-there’s-no-such-thing-as-baby-formula alternative to breast milk to get through hard times. Using milk as food (even for a small portion of the population) eventually gave way to accidentally letting some spoil in conditions suitable to make cheeses. Protein-rich, hard cheeses not only tasted good, but were also easier to digest than straight up milk for people who were lactose intolerant or older children who were in the process of losing tolerance. After thousands of years of doing this, in both locations (Northern Europe and the Middle East) some lucky kid got a mutation in their genetic code that allowed them to continue to drink milk without making the great boom boom well into adulthood, by continuing to express lactase production in their small intestine throughout adulthood. Because this meant they could turn grass into food so long as there was a cow nearby, these two individuals and their descendants understandably had a reproductive advantage, and it became a useful mutation in our genome. A similar thing happened with palm nuts, although much earlier, in Sub-Saharan Africa.
