In this episode the guys break down why you are still carrying body fat even though you work out consistently — eating out regularly adds 1,200 to 1,400 hidden calories per meal, processed foods are engineered to make you eat 600 more calories before feeling satisfied, not prioritizing protein leaves you naturally hungrier all day, eating while distracted adds 10 to 15% more calories per meal, and drinking alcohol reduces inhibitions and disrupts sleep. They also cover a Kings College London study linking cannabis use to higher rates of both committing and experiencing violence and why the guys think the methodology is flawed, how Joymode stacked with sauna is Sal's pre-podcast energy hack, Katrina accidentally giving Adam the best compliment of the year while trying to insult him during an argument, data showing teenage LGBT identification spiked from 10% in 2015 to 25% in 2021 and has since dropped back to 15% and what that suggests about social influence, and the behind-the-scenes story of how Napoleon Dynamite was shot at a real Idaho high school on a $400,000 budget with real students. Then they coach live callers submitted through mplivecaller.com.
