(2:30) Then they switch to talking about tryptophan and big meals like Thanksgiving. (5:00) The sleepiness probably isn't from the tryptophan, folks! (6:00) They talk about the "Auntie Carmel" video about mac & cheese on Thanksgiving; the moral of the story is "don't experiment on Thanksgiving". (8:00) The conversation changes to a more serious note about a hiker missing on Mt. Baldy in the Los Angeles area (at the time of this recording in January). (15:30) The hike is actor and mountaineer Julian Sands. Vinnie shares how dangerous various mountains can be, even for experienced hikers. They also chat about stories from Mt. Everest.
