What is it about boomer Mammys specifically and that orange tone of curtain? I really do say this with total love and no sarcasm. I'll bet there's a study with Waterford crystal in one of those cabinets. With the glass panels? You know them. Where you keep the good tea set?
Never seen this channel before, but as soon as I clicked and saw the living room I knew what the voices would sound like. And that's before I noticed the big irish heads.
Agreed. I also feel that there is a natural educational element to the videos. I get that they’re pushing more educational content, which I think is great. However, after last weeks episode I have 2-3 subjects I the. Wanted to look into.
You almost said exactly what the problem with the Hubermans (et al) of this world is. You have a bunch of Dunning-Kruger effect people who want to pin themselves to what they think of as a clever person so they can be thought of by other Dunning-Kruger effect people as clever by association. But the issue with Huberman and the others is that they were very capable in one area, and then started speaking on other topics they didn't know as much, or often anything about, but used their veneer of expertise when doing so to give them automatic legitimacy
Huberman frequently has exceptionally qualified individuals in those fields on as guests though, Israetel rarely if ever does the same. Obviously Huberman steps outside of his own expertise at times but at least you would see him getting corrected or informed by his guests. When Mike debated Coach Greg he came off as an angsty teen who read 5 studies and acts like there's nothing else to discuss.
@@TheMightySilverback_ Huberman is even worse with how frequently and confidently he speaks on things out of his expertise. Secondly, what was there to discuss? Greg literally backtracked on everything and watered down his positions. Nothing Mike has said or done will ever come close to the Turkesterone fiasco.
With your point on Huberman and "expert running out of stuff to talk about" and going out of their lane: Neil Degrasse Tyson is a big one. He's a physics guy that has somehow been seen as the all things science and engineering expert for genpop
@@vladaI would say there's a stark difference. Nye was very obviously a science communicator but NGT takes particularly strong stances on things he has no right to, and he'll claim these things "as a scientist." His sanctimonious, intellectually dishonest treatment of NHI and UAP is the shit cherry atop the shit cake that is his public contribution to science.
I for one watch you guys because its just nice to see a couple buddies building something together. I don't do lifting, barely follow the sports you talk about, certainly am not an athlete. It just gives me hope to see a couple guys figuring out how to make a living out of a thing the love, in the goal of helping folks out. Good stuff. Lockpicking Lawyer is a good example on one side, his joy in the act, and the brevity of the videos and staying tight on his subject is great. On the other side you have content creators that have a particular focus, but consistently branch out looking into new things, talking about topical items the odd react etc. You two have IMO a nice balance in between. Call it a 80/20 split? I don't know, just keep doing what yer doing and it'll be good. :D
A lot of more edited videos have a pull for the genpop, but the genpop isn’t super interested in carrying over to your business cause they just aren’t part of the cohort of serious trainees after your product. So less editing is totally fine for the people who will actually pay you.
I like the sh*t talks because you guys have good chemistry (craic?) and it's nice to hear two people talking who get along. It's background stuff for me. And it's interesting to hear what you guys are actually into (like not technical stuff). The hunting stuff, Irish history, whatever. Oh I liked the quizzes yall were doing.
It's ironic that Israetel has said in multiple occasions that the reason he started using PEDs was to get that useful information to all the knuckleheads who can only gauge "much muscle = much knowledge" and now his professional capacity is being judged based on his bodybuilding competition placements. Like does Brad Schoenfeld look like Mr. Olympia? Not at all, yet he's just about the god of hypertrophy knowledge. It's a shame that people who could get their best physique possible from his advice prefer copying Ronnie Coleman's training and probably injuring themself for good. However, it's the vocal minority and malicious actors like Greg Douche. I believe he attacked Menno Henselmans as well recently, who is just as great of training science communicator. I guess it just speaks about the person and how much valuable things they have to say if that's their method of operation. On the other hand everywhere you click in the evidence based fitness field, you'll find people knowing and digging Israetel. Like in youtube comments you will find positive mentions about him on just about any channel. You said how people should have some doubts on what they hear online and from experts, like Huberman talking about topics he has no idea about. I think as a scientist who has built his platform on the idea of being an expert sharing professional knowledge, you have some responsibility and intellectual honesty to respect when you dabble outside your world. As general audience it's tough to follow when someone makes that leap from being an expert in the topic to being just a smart guy talking out of his ass and interpreting single studies with very narrow understanding of the field. The level of confidence as a scientist should reflect your knowledge on the topic and field. There's for example a whole different atmosphere if you listen to people like Eric Helms and Eric Trexler talk, what they're willing to confidently say and when they point out that they don't have a good understanding or enough data, but if they had to personally make a guess, here's what they would say. Israetel is more confident on interpreting or guessing, but on the other hand even without the personality, there's the business and being a mascot to the business creating attraction and interaction in media. He's also willing to make all kinds of statements about AI and medicine, but those he does in casual conversations instead of with the expert hat on. I guess if you want to summarize, being a human and navigating in the sea of media communication is tough. On all fronts and sides. So many things to keep in mind and consider and then there's the interaction with other humans as well, preferrably with positive goals. On not shit talk subjects: god damn olympic judo has been on a good roll now that it started. Hifumi Abe naturally dominating the whole -66 kg. Surprise defeat of Uta Abe. Luukas Saha giving the rank 1 Vieru run for his money. Olympic broadcast producer showing the injured players at the patching station and repeatedly playing back clips of getting injured, against judo broadcasting rules. All kinds of stuff!
Dr Mike is the man. He went over his show and talked about how the tanning people messed up. Soon he’ll be posting a photo shoot hopefully will quiet down some people.
"tanning" that is the most funny cope that I've heard from him. He has the muscles but not really condition and the lack of saperation hurts him. He needs to go back to the drawing board and get a coach.
My Favorite stoic quote: “Whenever disturbing news is delivered to you, bear in mind that no news can ever be relevant to your reasoned choice. Can anyone break news to you that your assumptions or desires are wrong? No way! But they can tell you someone died -even so, what is that to you?" -EPICTETUS, DISCOURSES, 3.18.1-2
Feels like a weird quote. Is that a mistranslation? Of course people can tell you that your assumptions are wrong. I can assume it's going to rain and that can be wrong. Unless assumptions should have been something more like morals, convictions or the like. Those concepts are more vague. But "no one can tell me my assumptions are wrong" very much sounds like Trump 2016 xD
@@MellonVegan I don’t think Epictetus lived with his head under a rock and he’d facepalm if that’s what he inspired someone to do. Just take from the quote what you will 😂
@@MellonVegan the moral is really to just not be too easily influenced by the world, eg melodramatic Americans who say “omg I’m gonna move to Canada!” After seeing something on the news that truly has no effect on them. Or, people who change their core values on a whim after hearing something else is en vogue. Etc. etc
No one (ok far fewer) would be shitting on him if he didn’t go out of his way to get on every podcast possible make insane claims about things that are way out of his area of expertise and say getting his pro card is going to validate his training style.
I don’t mind Israetel (even tho he has a whole different channel where he talks about things he has no expertise on with a lot of conviction lol) but I really dislike his fans. They have put him on a pedestal and think that everything he says is gospel and the only way to do things which is just false.
His video on nootropics made me question his ability to comprehend studies lol. It was so bad and taken so badly by even his own fans with the most basic level of knowledge about nootropics he took it down. You can still find a review on it if you search it ip though.
Depends what country you live in. What is your background in sports? Are you an anaerobic or aerobic athlete? Consider sports with late debut is common. You need to be specific with your dispositions, body type, and resources in your area to make an Olympic appearance happen.
In the modern RU-vid space, you gotta play the algo game. Reasonable people get this. Personally, I can overlook a channel having maybe 50% clickbait bullshit as long as the other half is still good info.
Meh. I can tolerate (not accept) clickbait titles if the videos are good. But entire clickbait videos, as in videos made just bc they get attention? That'll be the last time I watched that channel.
This summer wettest shortest and coldest in living memory , in britain . Not sure about over there.. no idea where thry have been measuring temps lol. The back of resteraunts in cities ?👀
Your thoughts regarding American Politics may be bullshit because it doesn’t affect you guys, BUT Europe seems to have a massive migration problem including Ireland. Would like to know if it is really as bad as the alarmists say it is or if it is.
They'll probably say the same thing, I live in Ireland and I don't really know what the whole "european migration crisis" craic is. Maybe we're insulated because we're a north western island, or maybe it's just another american talking point to shrug your shoulders at
As a general rule, there are some integration issues (and in Germany, the issue is the lack of the right kind of migration, actually) but most of the public and media opinion is being driven by isolated but extreme incidents that are then also misrepresented by the media bc they obviously report on things months or even years before the police and courts have done their job. Like that mass rape incident at Cologne main station some years back. Turns out that never happened or at least not like the stories said. There were mainly hundreds (iirc) of accounts of women reporting being groped but it seems like they were also just pickpocketed. Apparently, they did one crime to hide the other. There may or may not have been a rape case, I don't quite remember. But what did the media say? "50 immigrants rape young woman at main station, each taking turns." That one fabricated incident (and maybe others like it) is the main reason Germans want African and (not East-)Asian immigrants gone. It's just lies for hate-clicks. There are real issues with immigration but people never actually address the real issues.
29:42 I didn't see that clip but just found out that this is a gross misrepresentation. That makes him sound like a terrible bigot. What that quote was referring to is woke people dead-naming his son/daughter. In other words, he was quoting others and their logic. That sounds well different to me.
That isn't at all what that Musk quote is referring to. I don't know how you can defend him as not a bigot when his own daughter who Musk is talking about in that very quote has refuted that entire interview and estranged herself from him because of his bigotry
