By: Jim McDonald
Listen for free

  • Summary

  • Mike "Silent Mike" Farr and Jim McDonald are entrepreneurs (lifestyle apparel company and a barbell gym) and veteran podcasters. In every episode, they try to answer a single question. Any question is fair game, but most involve health, fitness, nutrition, mental health, culture…even sex. They examine common misconceptions and then try to get to the correct answer -- often with the help of subject matter experts. They walk away with a better sense of the facts…and so do you. Full episodes every Wednesday. Shorter episodes every Friday, dedicated to answering a question from listeners.

  • Do you really need to forgive people who hurt you?

    Do you really need to forgive people who hurt you?
    Jul 31 2024
    Last week, we talked a little about public figures who have committed terrible acts, been “canceled,” and then somehow rehabilitated their public images. Apologies – sometimes heartfelt, sometimes performative – have been given and somehow the public starts to move on. If you’re the injured party, either in a public situation or a private one, do you really have to accept an apology and forgive? There’s a whole self-help category based on promoting “forgiveness.”

    When is it not a good idea to forgive? And when is forgiveness really self-care? We talk through a Washington Post article about eight situations when it’s healthier not to forgive.

  • The value of not falling in with a crowd?

    The value of not falling in with a crowd?
    Jul 24 2024
    We’re back in the studio together after several weeks away.

    We talk about the importance of South Sudan’s near victory over the US in a warmup Olympic basketball and admire the commitment of Luol Deng (and our friend, Jacob Ross) to the effort to improve conditions in the country.

    We discuss the value of maintaining your individuality rather than adopting the persona of any group. Unless you can be Batman, maybe just be yourself and think for yourself.

    We also touch on accounts of a serial abuser with many connections to the fitness industry.

  • Celebrity Death Match but influencers?

    Celebrity Death Match but influencers?
    Jul 17 2024
    Well, maybe not precisely “death” matches, but can we build a brand new, fun, competitive sport from existing sports and fitness elements?

    Dean Saddoris (@deansaddoris.ck) joined us for this exercise/thought experiment.

    Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila) joined and ran the board.
