    On The Distribution Of Power | Hunting, Bill Burr, and Captain America

Using clips from Bill Burr, Patrice O'Neal, and Captain America to illustrate the point, tonight we look deeper into man vs. his (or her) constant strive for power, whether it's theirs or someone else's.

    Meet The Stoics: Part 1 | The Last Airbender Meets Marcus Aurelius

    Tristan and Chris embarked on a journey recently. Not a physical one, but a mental one. The mindset and philosophies of stoicism were integrated into their lives in a lot of different ways, and there were a ton of lessons to be learned. From fixing lawn mowers to keeping your patience about moving troubles, stoicism paved a new mentality for the both of them.

Tristan,  who had never played chess before in his life, had to learn how the pieces work and the general beginner things about the game. Chris had only played when he was younger and just spent the three weeks learning more strategy and about the community. Make sure to check out the game we play against each other on our YouTube channel to find out who wins!

    We Listened to Two Albums Every Day | Essential Albums Everyone Should Hear

    Episode 2 of the new season "Meet the Guinea Pigs" where we experiment with doing different things and accepting new ways of life, the latest one being listening to two new albums every single day. Since Tristan isn't much of an album person (more a song person) this was a good experience for him, and it's a very good introduction to progressive music/metal music for a newbie.

    We Watched A Movie Every Day | Essential Movies Everyone Should See

Luckily you get to hear an up close and personal review of each movie by Chris, and hear Tristan's reasons for why they're such important movies.

  8. Strength vs. Hypertrophy | Which Lifting Method Is More Effective?

    Strength vs. Hypertrophy | Which Lifting Method Is More Effective?

    Is it more beneficial to your training to train specifically for size or specifically for strength? The different methods vary in many ways but we way find that they overlap more than they differ. It's much more effective to use a mixture of both, just as every experienced lifter does.
