    Dude is 85. Maybe we should be putting all of our elderly in fat suits so they don’t hurt themselves when they inevitably fall.

        Plus an advertisement, 3 paragraphs about Ian’s age, an advertisement, 4 more about the show that are just an advertisement for the show, an advertisement, a segue about the importance of bone health as you age and why the author likes Dasuquin senior supplements to keep himself feeling young, an advertisement, and finally that the fat suit maybe helped.
