“Stone Cold” Steve Austin Documentary: A 50% Facts review Jul 19, 2023

Show notes

Just a couple of times we have been able to watch a documentary about someone we’ve met in person and podcasted with. This time it’s Stone Cold Steve Austin. We checked out the Biography Channel documentary on his life and career, which became free on YouTube this week.
Here is the description: Directed by Jake Rogal and Executive Produced by Jason Hehir ("The Last Dance," "Andre The Giant"), this film traces the story of the man who became WWE's biggest star in the 90s. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's authentic, fiery personality epitomized WWE's "Attitude Era" and transformed him into a pop culture icon. After nearly being paralyzed by a neck injury, Austin made one of the greatest comebacks in WWE history. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2009.
Is he really the same guy in and out of the ring? Listen and found out.

Threads vs. Twitter, Zuck vs. Musk, over-the-counter tests vs. lab tests? Jul 12, 2023

Show notes

Suddenly we’ve got a new social media platform trying to take down Twitter. Does Threads (spun off of Instagram) have a real chance at making Elon’s bird app irrelevant? Is this a preview of the rumored Zuckerberg vs Musk match in the octagon? Probably more importantly, are some social media platforms better for fitness content (and influence) than others?
Also, during the pandemic, many people got comfortable with performing health tests (or just specimen collection) at home. With all the at-home tests (hormones, STIs) available now, it might be easy to assume that all these tests are of equal quality and reliability and that testing at home is simpler than going to a lab. Is this true?
Listener resources: FDA’s list of approved over-the-counter health tests.

How many glizzies? | Topic Thunder rewind Jul 07, 2023

Show notes

In honor of the Fourth of July holiday week – and to make up for the fact that the traditional hot dog eating contest didn’t happen this year – we’re bringing back a classic Topic Thunder episode.
We tackle the question, “How many glizzies could you eat in 48 hours?” Original episode notes:
Are big bulks or big cuts worth it? Will you get what you want out of them or do they (almost) always go bad? And if you’re on a bulk, how many glizzies can you eat in 48 hours? We throw out some opinions on this and share some ideas about sticking to extreme diets in general.

Fake fast food meat? Jun 30, 2023

This week’s One Good Question actually comes from some comments on Mike’s Instagram.
Does a certain fast food restaurant use meat that’s not really meat? And is the occasional fast food meat not that big a deal?

“Arnold” docuseries: A 50% Facts Review Jun 28, 2023

Show notes

Love him or hate him, Arnold Schwarzenegger has been a phenomenon in bodybuilding, movies, and even politics. A new three-part Netflix documentary series explores his triumphs and challenges through multiple decades and careers. This series plays somewhat like a sequel to the classic “Pumping Iron.”
As we ask every time we tackle one of these series, “Do we learn things we didn’t know and actually get to know the subject any better?”

How do you change your workouts when you’re cutting? Jun 24, 2023

Show notes

This week’s question from our Discord:
Yasssuke Da GOD asks: “I am currently contemplating switching my workout routine since I am trying to cut. And I am realizing I won’t be able to increase my numbers while also trying to increase activities and cardio. So I am considering putting in some bodybuilding splits while still doing some powerlifting and oly movements. Is it me or will this increase my activities to burn more calories than my powerlifting splits? Adding reps of 10-14 vs the old 5 rep max routine? Like I would assume that a heavier lift with lower reps but with higher intensity and effort would exert more energy than a 10 rep sub max lift. But I guess it isn’t, and it isn’t as linear as that. Mad fitness is confusing.”

Is responding to negative social media comments worth it? Jun 21, 2023

Show notes

We take a look at a few recent comments we’ve seen on social media – to our own stuff and that of others – and contemplate when it’s worth it even to respond. Even just to correct the record. What motivates people to become keyboard warriors?
A few related topics:
Have Joe Rogan and Elon Musk jumped the shark?
Why are Joe’s hands so big?
Which Flash is in the Flash movie and why are there so many of them?
