  2. I love the convo and I hate to be this guy but Ben doesn’t even look good and I realize that’s not the indicator of health and happiness but I feel they should all work together, guy sounds smart but idk 😐

  3. Hey broskii. You were measuring the emf? when you’re phone registered a 6; have you tried multiple iPhones to see which gives the most off. Maybe the tiny SE would give off less??

  4. Hey guys. You have discussed CBD multiple times, and also recently with Stephen Cabral in a video.
    They say it reduces inflammation. Is this the same type of inflamation that a hard weight training workout induces? The kind that is necessary for muscle growth? Asking because Im wondering if it would be negative to use CBD, like taking NSAIDs which hinder the recovery processes from working. Is this logical? Appreciate you taking the time to read this! Thanks for your content as always.

  5. The egg yolks also contains all vitamins and minerals and many more things that boost your preformance so to just say its the cholesterol is pretty stupid, it may have an impact yes but probably not the whole story

  6. He still didn’t answer Adam’s question! I was really curious about it, too.. The question was “Would you rather be a genius for a moment, and then quickly become less than average smart, or would you rather just be average your whole life?”
    My answer is obvious: I’d rather be dead, than average.
    Great interview, you guys! 🙌 Love your show! 💪
