This was a huge disappointment. I love this man but there are so many little jokes, and the crowd is just cackling along. Especially one particular lady who constantly laughs so loud, like it's the first joke she's ever heard.

So anyway, we get to the end where it's finally serious, and he just gives this basic, run of the mill breathing exercise. Disappointing.
