They also discuss the obesity epidemic now hitting Italian kids as processed food arrived, the milkshake study on how belief changes physical response, Adam's internal battle between ego and caution while squatting, Sal's dad performing CPR for 15 minutes on a motorcycle accident victim, pneumatic gym equipment and why it beats traditional machines for explosive training, the Brick phone device Sal and his wife are using to block social media before bed, the sauna temperature and longevity data deep dive, and Butcher Box egg bites and the best things in their lineup.
