Netflix’s How to Change Your Mind (2022) | Review 50:40

för 6 dagar sedan50:40

50:40

Psychedelics in psychotherapy. That’s the theme of this four-part documentary from Netflix. Can psychedelics break damaging thought patterns and allow people to heal from depression and trauma? This doc series would like to prove that they at least hold promise to do that. We cover episodes #1 (LSD) and #3 (MDMA). (Interesting, very recent twist: researchers have altered LSD to make it helpful to the brain but unable to cause psychedelic effects.) Join our Discord for free at goodcompanydiscord.com!

Netflix’s Untold: The Liver King | Review 57:21

för 13 dagar sedan57:21

57:21

Netflix’s Untold documentary series takes a look at the phenomenon of The Liver King. Purportedly already a multi-millionaire, Brian Johnson launched a muscular social media and YouTube presence as a “primal” influencer who used raw organ meats, including testicles, rather than steroids to build his crazy physique. He amassed a huge following and reaped more revenue for his supplement company, but was he telling the truth about being natty? Nope. The documentary spends a bit too much time setting up his performative persona and a bit too little time examining the fallout of his outing as a heavy steroid user (and his apparent previous life of crime). But the bottom line is that the man and this documentary are steeped in ick.

The Way Down rewind | Examining media about cults 1:01:44

för 26 dagar sedan1:01:44

1:01:44

We’ve been talking about cults and how they’re covered in the media. Back in 2021, we looked at the HBO documentary series “The Way Down: God, Greed and the Cult of Gwen Shamblin” on a couple of episodes. It is about a crazy, scary religious cult. This week, Mike’s under the weather, and we haven’t had a chance to record, so this seems like a good time to present these episodes again as one. As a refresher, here’s the description of the doc series, “Follows the Remnant Fellowship Church, exploring the fame and power of its leader Gwen Shambling Lara as a diet guru and church leader, and the truth behind her carefully-curated image, detailing the church's controversial practices.” Join our Discord for free at goodcompanydiscord.com!

How YouTubers covered the downfall of a Scientologist’s skateboard channel | Examining media about cults 52:23

för 5 weeks sedan52:23

52:23

The founder of the biggest YouTube skateboarding channel is a Scientologist. Has that fact become public, explaining the channel's drop in popularity over the past few years? Was it the money he spent climbing the rungs of this cult (and not on his skaters and staff)? Or was it just the normal life cycle of a YouTube channel? Rather than reviewing a documentary, this time we’re examining the handling of this story through several YouTube explainers and exposes. What do these have in common with real docs? Do we get any closer to understanding what happened with Aaron Kyro and Braille Skateboarding?

Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief (2015)| Review | Examining media about cults 49:16

för 6 weeks sedan49:16

49:16

We’re taking a closer look at a topic that we’ve touched on briefly before: Media covering the effects and inner workings of cults. The HBO documentary Going Clear is one of the most recognizable documentaries about the Church of Scientology. Celebrities like Tom Cruise have deep ties to this cult that was founded by prolific author L. Ron Hubbard. Some interesting aspects of this belief system are the need to pay huge sums of money to advance to higher levels of the organization and the fact that many aspects are not even explained to members until they have reached specific levels. For all its focus on mental health, are believers actually involved in activities that support good mental health? Join our Discord for free at goodcompanydiscord.com!

Getting stiffed by knee sleeves : The politics of IPF approval 33:01

för 7 weeks sedan33:01

33:01

A couple of episodes ago, we talked about a dramatic change in leadership at the International Powerlifting Federation. The latest wrinkle is that the federation has recently notified the manufacturers of “stiff” knee sleeves that their products are banned from use in competition – immediately. Is the IPF being fair to manufacturers or its members? What prompted this sudden change? Mike offers some insights from his past experiences with designing knee sleeves and working to gain IPF approval. What’s the rationale behind a system that only favors companies that pay to play? What’s the future of international competition if numerous companies, especially those that support meets with sponsorship, fail because they have too much money sunk into inventory they can’t sell? We’ve got more questions than answers, to be honest. Listener resource: ONIBUKIYA response to the ban on ONI knee sleeves Join our Discord for free at goodcompanydiscord.com!

Hungry for Change (2012) | A 50% Facts Review 55:44

för 8 weeks sedan55:44

55:44

A stroll back 13 years in time takes us to a very “well-reviewed” nutrition documentary that ultimately only delivers a laundry list of fear appeals, misinformation, and pro-vegan propaganda. Not that there’s anything wrong with being a vegan, but getting there because you’ve been told that every other way of eating is somehow dangerous is kind of a cheap way to do it. Sugar is the poison, but so are artificial sweeteners. High-fructose corn syrup is somehow entirely different than other forms of sugar. Meat will kill you, etc. It’s the greatest hits of food myths (although seed oils hadn’t been vilified yet). Dean Saddoris @deansaddoris.ck , or media review homie, hangs with us again.

The “Superman from Compton” took YouTube in the 20-teens by way of a video called “The Strongest Man You’ve Never Heard Of.” Who was this man who “commanded” his arms to grow and reminded us over and over that it was indeed still our set? This documentary sketches a portrait of a man whose great personal warmth can’t be obscured by his sometimes rough and compromising demeanor. A man who took a difficult, often demeaning upbringing and transformed it into the power to motivate others online in ways few have. Dean Saddoris @deansaddoris.ck chops it up with us again.

This documentary from Men’s Health tells us that body dysmorphia is running rampant among teenage boys in America. It follows four teens who take “extreme” measures to try to match the body images they see on social media (sorta). Then, the video takes a turn into a “debate” about supplements for some reason. This doc is pretty aimless and pointless, but we had fun tearing it apart. Dean Saddoris @deansaddoris.ck chops it up with us again. Join our Discord for free at goodcompanydiscord.com!

Bryan Johnson, former head of the firm that owned Venmo (and sold it to Paypal), is obsessed with slowing down his aging process. Is there anything he won’t try toward that end? Dozens of daily vitamins, nearly religious workouts, red laser masks, and even experimental gene splicing are all in play. This Netflix documentary attempts to explain his motivations and the sharp contrast between the man we see now and the person he used to be.

We’ve still had some holiday and non-holiday travel going on, so we’re dipping into the vault again for a One Good Question episode to fill the gap. FRESH 2025 EPISODE NEXT WEEK. A listener asked, “If you could start a business with zero risk, what would it be?” We had to make a call about whether this meant that you’d automatically succeed (boring) or it was with someone else’s money, and there would be no financial impact to you if it failed (kind of exciting – who doesn’t love OPM?). Personal service robots? High-end streetwear? Laundromats? Further, what kinds of businesses have the best (and worst) success rates?

We’ve got some holiday and non-holiday travel going on, so we’re dipping into the vault for a couple of One Good Question episodes to fill the gap. This episode features one of our gym members who is a practicing vegan, Nick Squires, sharing some more about how he transitioned from being an ardent meat eater to being a vegan. Since this is the time of year that some people make radical diet changes, it seemed like a good idea to drop this one in the feed. Also, are GMOs bad?

We’ve got some holiday and non-holiday travel going on, so we’re dipping into the vault for a couple of One Good Question episodes to fill the gap.

How do you approach other gym members to make new friends or become part of a community? Are some types of gyms better for this than others? Should you ever use the term “milady” in the gym?

Well, we had some confusion about the movie we were planning to cover on that day, a guest who couldn’t make it, and an acute shortage of time.

Are microplastics stealing your gains? Plus, CrossFit athlete’s cause of death revealed 57:35

Plastic was supposed to be inert, right? I mean, it wasn’t supposed to be able to cause real problems for humans, except maybe the whole issue of disposing of them. But plastics are a lot more complicated than that, and microplastics, tiny little fragments of plastic material, are apparently everywhere. And there’s not as inert as we hoped. Are they messing with our hormones? Making us fat? Squashing our test levels? This topic is really just beginning to be studied, but we talk through some of the implications. Also, CrossFit athlete Lazar Ðukić’s cause of death has been revealed in the past few days and the answer may have major implications for the future of CrossFit and the Games.
