Most supplements are bull crap and a waste of money. There isn't any evidence that coconut oil or MCT oil do anything except add more fat to your diet (coconut oil has more saturated fat then just about any other oil). Want to lose weight, then put down the chips and get off the ass and move.

I'm a fan of his work. Love the podcast. Not a blind "do whatever he does" fan of everything he says/does/endorses but he certainly seems to think most things through and comes from a pretty solid, logical perspective.

He's gullible at best, a scammer at worst. The guy behind Onnit is a scam artist who was famous for flooding the internet with fake reviews for Fleshlight when he worked for them. Gets Joe involved with his 'big dick pills' and floods Joe's website with fake reviewers for Onnit products, and Joe is perfectly ok with it.

It took them 2.5 years to publish the results of their product testing, only for it to turn out they only tested 17 people, showed no statistical improvement from their pills, but they tried to play off deviations within the margin of error as vast improvements.

If you spend money on anything Joe Rogan tells you to (besides UFC shows if you enjoy that) then you're an utter fool. He did think things through and come to a solid, logical perspective, and that perspective was "boy my fans are idiot stoner bros, I'll let my weasel friend sell alpha nail polish an brain pills to them."

Strangely I don't agree with everything you said. Instead of dragging this into a debate about Joe or the product, I'll simply say that he's selling supplements. Supplements basically work if you are deficient in something. So it works for some people and not for others. Depends on your diet and lifestyle. I certainly wouldn't claim that it works 100% for me but I do know that parts of it work (I'm obviously lacking something in my diet for those aspects to be noticed).

I don't really care if you think I'm an utter fool for buying the product. I've done research on the ingredients and the levels. I'm comfortable with taking that supplement. It's not like it's a sugar pill. But by all means, feel free to hate on him, the products or anything else you like. It's a free country.

I don't buy that you've done research, or if you did you went into it looking for justification for your purchases and used confirmation bias. There's not enough science for most things Onnit sells, especially not to justify their inflated price tags.

'The Chinese track team was really good and people thought they were doping, but they passed the tests. Must have been cordyceps I bet! Buy our cordyceps!' lmfao Onnit is a fuging joke.

I didn't do research on Alpha Brain. I've done research over many years on the ingredients in the Total Primate Care. Most of it is extracted from plants and stuff you would find in many different supplements. That stuff, in my research anyways, is good for you. It can be debated on the dosages and the effect but it's good for you. As with most supplements though, they mostly have an effect when you are deficient. I've been taking it for like 3 months now and have noticeable differences that can only be attributed to the supplement because I haven't changed my diet.

But you're right. Confirmation bias is real and could affect any of my decisions. So you may have me there. But that could be true about a lot of things I buy or hell, decisions I make. I've never bought any of their other products so you could be right. I have no idea.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
