Just started to watch the series. It is about life and longevity. On Disney+, all 6 episodes. There is some connection to the Hof method too. They reveal a genetic mutation/problem for him what makes him more likely to get Alzheimer's. Makes you think if you want to get a similar test or not. Here is a review: "Limitless starts off pretty slow. The first episode is very basic and feels stretched too long. The science in it is so simple that even the average viewer might find it hard to sit through it. The subsequent episodes are much much better and the challenges are fun to watch. The show speeds up from the second episode and the science becomes deeper and more interesting to watch and follow. The last episode is probably the most important one. It's slow, but in a good way this time. Certain parts even brought tears to my eyes by just thinking about the things shown for my own life. The finale gives the show a very strong ending. The stories about different people and tribes in each episode give the show a different feel which I loved. Some of the acting feels very forced at times and so do the dialogues. I think it's because the team has tried to make it feel like a movie. The close-up face cam with the experts also feel odd. Chris is fun to watch as always. Ross and Peter as experts made the show very interesting. Overall, the show is great and will definitely make you rethink your daily routine, diet, exercise and other habits. Limitless should be used as motivation for all viewers to make changes in our lives to ensure that we grow old healthy."
Is that series worth getting Disney+ for? Because I don't have that one. I think we've got Netflix, Hulu, and HBO.
No. Well, I torrented it, but it was very underwhelming. If you watch YT videos on the specific subjects (fasting, cold, stress, mitochondria) you get way better info. They didn't even measure him half the time, like how much weight he lost after 4 days of fasting. But if you like good looking guys sweating half naked or just general Australia landscapes, this is not a bad series. I think the Australia Bureau of Tourism may have sponsored it, because half of the time it looked like a travel advertisement. The best episode is the last one, very poignant. I recommend to watch that one only. It is about being 80+ and dealing with being fragile and close to death. They put him in a special suit that restricted movement and weighted him down, specially glasses to screw up his vision. He spent 4 days in a retirement home and they made his wife look like she is 80+. They should do that with teenagers to make them better appreciate being young and healthy. Also talking to a under 30 woman who was dying and just wanted to grow old...
I always just give this quick one when people ask older men for life advice: Take care of your teeth and back. Those can cost you a lot later on both in money and health.
He's got a Jeep right now but it seems like many of his friends have gotten Volkswagen Golf GTIs so that's of course what's taking the majority of his attention at the moment. Every day he shows me yet another pic of a GTI that's been lowered with an upgraded exhaust, bigger turbo, window tint, aftermarket rims, etc.
Both of those are sharp cars. I've had both and were fun to drive. My jeep was a classic Scrambler and rebuilt from the frame, the Golf though had auto tranny design vulnerability and spent more time in the tranny shop than the car eventually was worth. Do you roll your eyes about his enthusiasm or pushing him in that direction? As a parent I imagine it would be difficult if he hasn't shown any interest in the markets as a means to fund his hobby. Kid's these days seem more focused on becoming a SM influencer as a means for wealth generation.
