I’m a huge fan of UFC and been watching every event since 2005 (when I practiced for some jujitsu years ago I learned to respect the ‘check mate’ scenarios involved in the throws/groundwork). I also watch the reality based show TheUltimateFighter… and a pay-per-view UFC 137: BJPenn vs Diaz is on in an hour (checkout the setup & training involved). UFC commentator JoeRogan has made UFC mainstream accessible with his grappling knowledge and his initial charismatic smooth ‘bro-candor.’ But his podcast is the best thing since Diggnation (ending this year in LA). Just like UFC and it’s overtone of anything-can-happen ‘holy-s moments’ there is also strategic method to the madness in JoeRogan’s podcast.
I’ll probably be watching more of TheJoeRoganExperience episodes more often (along with Everything/Nothing EastMeetsWest podcast). It never ceases to disturb me the raw things they talk about (and I listen to HowardStern in comfort). Watch this episode with AttackoftheShow guest KevinPereira talking disturbing animal world events/videos, iPhoneSiri/Skynet, dreams and singularity/Kurzweil topics, OWS/MJ/1984 exit strategy stuff too (all disturbing topics ripe for Halloween):

I wonder how he is able to just go off on a smooth tangent so often — maybe it’s those nootropics he was talking about at 1hr45min or those caffeine/adrenal energy mobilizing drinks. Speaking of which… looks like TimFerriss (of nootropic fortune 2) was on last month. (edit update: here is their ‘stack’)
All the eps and the latest episode is great too where JoeRogan talks about blending kale briefly to protect his ‘shell’… sounds like something I do but I’ll blentec half a peeled lemon with it for la limonada flavor on the backend drunk through a 12mm glass straw.
