50% Facts with Silent Mike & Jim McD

Jim McDonald

About

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 celebrities inspire cult behavior (Huberman, Diddy, etc.)?

While this is technically the 400th episode of the show, we’re treating it more like the “faux-hundredth” because we’ve used “rewind” episodes 11 times since we started. Look for something (hopefully) for our 400th episode of original content.   We talked through the recent New York Magazine article about Andrew Huberman, the legal issues hounding Sean “P Diddy” Combs, and the arguably cultish support for them on social media.  Why do people look for heroes outside themselves?   Huberman article in New York Magazine: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/andrew-huberman-podcast-stanford-joe-rogan.html Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila https://www.instagram.com/sebastian_brambila) ran the board and joined us for this one.

In what way are you your own worst enemy?

We all practice self-sabotage sometimes. We use different methods, but in the end we all do it. We share our own experiences and talk about the fallout from what we do to ourselves. We start off in a dangerous zone…talking about how much money we’d have to be paid to do a particular kind of “media.”   One of our gym members, Jerry (@megaa_pandaa https://www.instagram.com/megaa_pandaa), joins us along with Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila https://www.instagram.com/sebastian_brambila) ran the board and joined us for this one.   Do you have a question for one of our Friday “One Good Question” episodes?

Will weight loss drugs steal your all gains? | One Good Question

The exploding popularity of weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy has raised awareness and demand for these “medical miracles” among the severely overweight…and the not-so-severely overweight. Some questions have arisen about side effects – some merely annoying and some potentially dangerous. One complaint is the loss of lean muscle mass. While this is obviously not ideal, is there something specific about these drugs that contributes to muscle loss, or is it nothing more than a normal effect of weight loss by any method? How can it be prevented?   Listener resources: Survey of studies on weight loss and muscle loss vs fat loss. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6769337/pdf/enm-34-247.pdf   Do you have a question for one of our Friday “One Good Question” episodes?

Is fitness (social media) back? Do we have FOMO from missing the Arnold?

Mike shares some signs that fitness social media and YouTube are regaining some of their old traction (2015-17 vibes, anyone?). Even attendance at the Arnold seems to be on the upswing again. Speaking of the Arnold, are we bummed that we didn’t go this year after making a return as spectators last year?   Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila https://www.instagram.com/sebastian_brambila) ran the board and joined us for this one.

The IPF is coming to CBS?

We didn’t have this announcement on our radar: “The IPF and CBS Sports (broadcaster of the Super Bowl 2024) have signed a multi-year agreement to bring IPF powerlifting to the TV in the USA and the whole of North America.” (Full release here: https://www.powerlifting.sport/about-ipf/news/news-detail/ipf-secures-tv-broadcast-partnership-for-north-america). For tested lifters in the US, does this change the calculus of choosing the IPF-affiliated Powerlifting America versus the larger and more familiar USAPL? And will anyone outside of powerlifting fandom be interested in watching a full meet -- or even a collection of highlights – on broadcast TV? We’ll find out later this year with coverage of a bench-only competition in Austin, Texas. As a warmup, we discussed entry-level doughnuts and fast-food restaurants.

How do you stick with a lifting hobby for the long haul? | Crew Show

We’ve all seen lifters go hard at the beginning and then burn out fast. Is it possible to pace yourself and continue to enjoy it year after year? Is competing the answer?

The USAPL national meets have grown to epic proportions in the past several years. For 2024, the meet is already full, even though many lifters will have to make qualifying totals sometime before nationals. Is this the best way to ensure that the best lifters will actually be in the meet? We also hit on a number of other topics, including how it feels to have left a bad situation.

The Netflix series, You Are What You Eat, is a follow-up to the series “Game Changers” from the same production company with the same vegan slant. This time, a study of twins and how their bodies react to omnivore and vegan diets is the throughline. Does it offer legitimate proof that the vegan diet is superior? Or is the whole series just a vehicle for vegan recruitment? Why is porn part of the study? Dean Saddoris joined us.

How important is nutrition in powerlifting? | Topic Thunder

We are supported by Legion Athletics. Use our code “goodcompany” for 20% off at legionathletics.com https://legionathletics.com/. What role have we given nutrition in our powerlifting careers? When did lifters switch from trying to be as big as possible and eating a ton to being strong at “normal” body weights? Is it more about performance or feeling good. We also discuss the fact that strength and effort are both normally distributed -- not just in the general population but also in niche places like top powerlifting gyms.

The ethics of combat sports? | Topic Thunder

We are supported by Legion Athletics. Use our code “goodcompany” for 20% off at legionathletics.com https://legionathletics.com/. This discussion started around a hypothetical question about why animals are allowed to compete in some formats (like racing) and not in others (fighting). While some would find the spectacle fascinating, animals can’t really give consent to fight…but they can’t consent to race either. Why is one ok and the other not? This evolved into a broader discussion about combat sports and whether or not humans fighting is entirely ethical either.
