My friends and I always pick a warm city to travel to for the first weekend of March Madness. We went to Tampa one year and was walking around hammered. We walked into a recruitment center, that was right in the middle of a strip of bars. It was surreal. Put on a hard sell and kept us there for a good 30 minutes. We kept trying to politely leave and it got to the point where we just had to be dicks and left when they were in mid conversation.
I was expecting not to be able to get through the Alex Jones one. I don't know a ton about infowars and him other than he was a conspiracy guy, but after listening he is legitimately insane. I wouldn't be surprised if he is schizophrenic.
I've been going back and listening to the old ones I missed last year. Fuck, it makes my day better and go by quicker at work. I really enjoyed the one with Ron White. He seems like a genuinely good dude.
The Ron White one was great. I love how he was like fuck it I'll have my car towed home and started downing Jack.
Yea, and they burn a joint. Ron starts coughing, "what the fuck are we smoking here?" About 10 minutes later he wants another one. Plus, "yall got anymore ice?" I was dying.
Yeah, she's basically with the guy who was in charge of media relations and ex-member smearing for years with the church, like, their biggest propaganda guy. They go around and talk to other ex-members who have had their lives ruined by the church. The stories are incredible... to the point that I can't wait until something absolutely horrific happens to the leaders.
The recent one with Gary Taubes kinda blew my mind on a small scale. I don't mind something being technically dense with science, but as a journalist he took a lot of info and distilled the essence well. The part I enjoyed is the history and backstory when scientific literature deviated from the evidence in their studies and the motivations of the doctors to do such a thing. The guy can't write a short book but in 3 hours time he made an interesting case. *Taubes writes keto diet propaganda.
Didn't listen to this podcast and havent heard of the guy, but I lost 40 pounds last year with the keto diet, and my IBS improved to the best its ever been
I dont know a lot about keto, but my understanding is that it's basically a more sustainable version of the atkins? Focuses on cutting out carbs, but not all carbs? Kind of sounds like plain old healthy eating to me
Wim Hof' s crazy convinced me into taking cold showers about a year ago. One of the best decisions I've ever made, I love it
This is freaky to read right now. Just last weekend I was driving through nowhere, southern California when I decided to take the "scenic route" to a highway I needed to get on. Anyway, I drove through this nondescript little city, it briefly turned into wilderness, and then I drove by what looked like a massive castle sitting out in the middle of nowhere. It was night and there were a ton of bright lights on illuminating everything. Had castle towers, castle walls, the whole nine. I thought some rich dude had built himself a castle out there. Got home and Googled the area. Turns out it was the Church of Scientology's MAIN BASE. Their base is in the middle of the desert with crazy perimeter security including razor blade walls. I was reading how they have "pursuit teams" that chase church members that try to escape. They have a $10 million mansion inside that area that they keep ready for L. Ron Hubbard's resurrection or some shit.
I thought it was great, Alex Jones is a maniac. Do I believe Hillary is a psychic vampire that murders kids in her basement? Yes
It's high fat, low net carb, moderate protein. But it gets more scientific than that, it's all based on your body type and how much you want to lose: based on that you set your macros and follow them daily. Roughly off the top.of my head, my macros were 170g fat, 30g net carbs, 70g protein. Net carbs are carbs minus fiber. The rule of thumb is to get all your carbs from green vegetables. No bread, no sugar. Protein is your hardest macro to hit.
So staples in my diet were coffee with heavy whipping cream, lots of eggs, lots of beef and pork, specifically bacon. Cheese. Celery (with sour cream based dips) asparagus, green peppers, spinach, pork rinds for snacks, butter with everything, lots of water.
Did you do the piss strips and everything? I was listening to the weight loss challenge with Tom and Bert and he also mentioned some sort of stuff you can drink after you have alcohol that will reverse the negative sugar effects of it.
Has anyone listened to the Alex Jones one yet? I'm finishing up the Bill Burr one and then diving into the crazy pool. I hope Alex gets high.
He gets high and drunk as fuck. Bravo gets shitfaced, Rogan realizes about two hours in that they're all fucked up. The rest is Rogan trying to restore order and Jones talking about lizard people
Yeah I did keto sticks. You don't have to, it just tells you if you're in ketosis or not. What podcast was this on? I'd love to hear about that. I'd imagine I would have lost way more weight without drinking on the weekends. Even though I switched mostly to vodka and no-sugar mixers, I still caved on some good craft beer occasionally. Btw this diet is impossible during football season
The one with Tom Segura and Bert. They had a weight loss contest and had a two day weigh in on Joe's podcast. It's awesome.
Leah Remini was interesting, I was in a church last week for my uncle's funeral that seemed really cultish/ponzi scheme
I dropped 25 pounds between june and October on Keto. Honestly I was pretty impressed with how effective it was.
Was getting bored with Rogan, but Bert/Tom, Robb White, Burr have been really good. Dragged me back in. Alex Jones though. I find conspiracies theories fascinating, but could only listen to like 20 minutes. Literally insane. Nothing made sense. Would find some conspiracy in you getting a glass of water from the fridge. There are some conspiracy, but literally everything is not a conspiracy. Will keep listening, but just pick and choose guest. Ditched listening to MMA guest like 6 months ago.
Lol I made it until "Obama ordered several thousand hot dogs for the event. HOT DOGS ARE A KNOWN CODE FOR CHILD PROSTITUTES" lmao I am with you on the MMA guests. I just don't know enough/have enough interest in the sport to listen for several hours. The Scientology stuff and Burr were really good though
For those of you who liked the Tom and Bert episodes but don't listen to toms podcast, this is the "just glassing" video they were talking about. Starts at like 2:15.
As a hunter, this will cause me to burst out laughing and spook many deer next fall when my dad insists that we "just glass that hill for a couple hours"
Alex Jones episode was great, on and off the rails for 4 hours, the worst part about it was Eddie Bravo
joe was saying he was getting exhausted from the politics talk. so he has whack job alex jones (his friend) on. so weird that he would have eddie on too. seems like absolute madness.
Against my better judgment I am trying to listen to the Alex Jones ep. I'm 28 minutes in and want to stab my eardrums with an ice pick.
These people are fucking insane. Alex Jones is insane and Eddie Bravo is insane and also really stupid.
Yeah Eddie bravo and his whole "I'm skeptical of literally anything anywhere being true" is not exactly a smart worldview but not surprising.
He's a conspiracy theorist because he doesn't actually understand the science behind what he thinks isn't real. I don't understand how that works thus the government is bad.
Joe has been pumping them out lately. Henry Rollins and Leah Remini episodes we great. Rollins is just one badass dude. Remini I think wanted to give Joe Rogan a blowjob on air. He was holding back so hard incase the wife decided to listen to this episode. I also really liked her in King of Queens.
You noticed that too. I understand they know each other but she without a doubt was flirting with him. I used to have the biggest crush on her back in the day. I was pretty peanut butter and jealous of joe right there.
I love when schaub chides Eddie to flesh out his idiotic ideas. Eddie is so insulated from reality he immediately goes into mindless rants. He can't control himself.
