I think there's a time & place for that "character." Great for entertainment value when debating about sport entertainment, but sometimes it gets overused especially when talking about series issues like health.

[@jwm66]

He's a real human when interviewing sports guests. However, since he knows more about sports, it shows in his passionate tone. Health on the other hand is something that he may not be as excited about. Furthermore, he is interviewing someone who is an expert and he may want this expert to be heard in a serious way.

Just GREAT SAS. I saw you Byron Donalds interview, first time on your channel. Very good. Of all the catastrophe's running through our culture, obesity is the absolute WORST. Throwing away many good years of actual life and throwing away the rest with lower quality functioning on all levels. My father had MS. He didn't talk or lecture the 5 of us, but one time when I was about 14 he took me aside and said, "son, whatever you do, take care of your health. without it youv'e got nothin." I took it to heart. I saw him slowly deterirate from the time I was 6 until he died at age 53. I ran everywhere I went, and have been in good shape all my life just by being active. Thanks Father.

But because of men like you Stephen A, and many other of our elders, I'm proud to say that this morning, my scale read 329 pounds, and that pride comes from what I have and will continue to accomplish.
