Welcome to the Jiu Jitsu Dummies Podcast, presented by Black Belt Digital Marketing and AcademySafe.org Episode 182: Scott Burr – Lessons from the Mat & Future Classics In this episode of the Jiu-Jitsu Dummies Podcast, we sit down with 3rd-degree Black Belt, author, and philosopher of the mats, Scott Burr. Scott is the co-author of the highly acclaimed book Lessons from the Mat (with Benjamin Chen), which explores the 12 martial arts principles that translate directly into business and life success. But Scott's work behind the scenes of Jiu-Jitsu literature goes even deeper. We dive into: Writing with Legends: Scott shares insights into his current high-profile book projects with two of the most iconic figures in the art: Rickson Gracie and "Dirty Dozen" member Chris Haueter. Worth Defending: We revisit his collaboration with Richard Bresler, the man widely considered the first student of BJJ in America. The Creative Process: How do you capture the "invisible" concepts of Rickson or the unique, artistic philosophy of Haueter and put them into words? Whether you are a white belt just starting or a black belt looking for deeper conceptual understanding, Scott's perspective on the history and future of BJJ is invaluable.

Kyle Landry, a PhD food scientist with postdoctoral work at Harvard Medical School, sits down to unpack the critical relationship between food quality and gut health. Most people don't think about their gut microbiome until it's already compromised, and by then, reversing the damage takes serious effort. Dr. Landry breaks down what's really happening when you walk through the grocery store, from the truth about organic produce to why the Dirty Dozen matters for glyphosate exposure. He explains how leaky gut develops, why your gut bacteria directly influence brain health and mood, and the surprising connection between chronic low-dose toxin exposure and conditions like Alzheimer's. This conversation goes deep on mycotoxins, aflatoxins, the Maillard reaction in grilled meats, and why making tiny dietary changes creates compounding results that transform your health over time. IN THIS EPISODE WE'LL: Discover why your gut microbiome is the foundation of everything, from neurotransmitter production to immune function, and how imbalanced bacteria drive systemic inflammation Break through the organic food myths and learn which produce actually requires organic purchasing (hint: the Dirty Dozen list matters for glyphosate absorption) Transform your understanding of leaky gut and how food allergens, pathogens, and bacterial compounds enter your bloodstream to trigger depression, hormone disruption, and even Alzheimer's disease Explore the hidden dangers of mycotoxins in everyday foods like peanut butter, how chronic low-dose exposure accumulates over decades, and why your body's detox attempts sometimes make toxins more dangerous Learn the inch-by-inch approach to dietary change that actually sticks, from adding fermented foods twice weekly to understanding why grilled red meat creates carcinogenic compounds CHECK OUT THESE EPISODES: Episode 116: Is Mold Silently Wrecking Your Health?

Nolan McGraw is pinch hitting for Vinny Cerrato this week by creating his own version of the dirty dozen. Who are the 12 best teams in the NFL heading into week 17?
In this episode, Austin and Tim travel back in time to 1967 for a 7-movie marathon, watching Two For the Road, Point Blank, Thoroughly Modern Millie, The Trip, To Sir With Love, The Dirty Dozen, and Don't Make Waves!
In this quick but eye-opening episode of The Backyard Naturalists, Debbie and Laurie take a closer look at the Environmental Working Group's annual Dirty Dozen and Clean 15 lists—two rankings that help consumers understand which fruits and vegetables carry the highest (and lowest) pesticide residues. Whether you shop for your family, your backyard wildlife, or even your parrots (as both Debbie and Laurie do!), this is essential information for keeping everyone safe and healthy. Debbie and Laurie walk through both lists, covering the worst offenders like potatoes, blueberries, blackberries, apples, and leafy greens, as well as the produce that consistently ranks safest, including pineapple, sweet corn, avocados, onions, mushrooms, and kiwi. They explain how the USDA tests produce, why washing and peeling matter, and how thin skins versus thick rinds influence pesticide absorption. The hosts also explore how choosing local, organic, and responsibly grown food can benefit not just our bodies, but also our soil, water, wildlife, and overall ecosystem health. Plus, they highlight ways the Matthews Community Farmers Market helps shoppers make informed, sustainable choices. This helpful, practical episode empowers listeners to shop smarter, understand the environmental impact of pesticide use, and make everyday decisions that support healthier people—and a healthier planet.
Vinny Cerrato isn't here today, but he made sure to leave his dirty dozen power rankings behind for Bob and Nolan to pick apart.

What does the ordinary person do to protect themselves when regulators fail?How can you know what is safe to eat – or safe to eat just a little – or safe to eat if you wash it? There are groups trying to fill in the gaps left by poor regulation. The Environmental Working Group in Washington publishes a list of the Dirty Dozen – fruits and vegetables most contaminated with pesticides. But they also publish a list of the Clean 15. And both lists are updated if things change and a dirty one becomes clean.And then there is the book, Slow Death by Rubber Duck. When it was published in 2009 it wasn't just the quirky title that made it a best seller around the world. The book revealed how daily life is bathing us in toxins that accumulate in our tissues, are passed on to our children and damage our health. That was a wakeup call to people all over the world.In this episode Bruce Lourie and Rick Smith explain why they decided the best way to demonstrate how chemicals get into our bodies was to experiment on themselves and document it in a book.

Reforming SNAP. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program—formerly known as food stamps—is designed to address nutritional gaps for economically disadvantaged Americans. But critics argue that SNAP's lack of selectivity when it comes to ultra-processed foods stokes the current epidemic of obesity and metabolic disorders. Nutritionist Carolina Schneider, MS, RD, joins us to discuss an opportunity to reform SNAP. She makes the case for emphasizing fresh, minimally processed food as eligible for purchase under SNAP. Also, she urges inclusion of vitamin D under SNAP benefits because of the pervasiveness of vitamin D deficiency, especially among SNAP recipients. Check out a hub for citizen activism at www.All4VitaminD.org. In Part 2, we shift to consideration of plant-based diets: What are their advantages, and what are potential pitfalls?

Today we're diving into George Lucas' debut film, ‘THX 1138' (1971) - which I argue is one of the most influential films of all time. We talk about the early life of director George Lucas and how he went from underground race-car driver to wannabe experimental filmmaker. We dive into his USC-nerd-friends “The Dirty Dozen” and how a budding bromance with Francis Ford Coppola led to one of the most important idealistic yet doomed production companies, American Zoetrope. All this plus an audience discussion after the film, and lobby interviews with Peyton Johnson…it's a great late night live show, Behind the Slate Style.Recorded live at The Plaza Theatre in Atlanta, GA.

Former DreamWorks animator, Andrew Young, exposes how beloved animated films have become tools of social engineering, subtly shifting from character-driven stories to politically charged narratives that undermine family values and traditional storytelling. We trace Andrew's journey from Hollywood success to cultural whistleblower as he reveals how the animation, media, & education industries now shape young minds and foster division through ideological agendas. The conversation culminates with Andrew's advocacy to combat online child exploitation, highlighting the dangers of sextortion, Section 230, and the urgent need to protect children in the digital age. This episode is a must-listen for parents, educators, & creators determined to defend truth, creativity, and the hearts of the next generation. Andrew Young is a former professional animator turned child advocate. He currently works for Porn Harms, a National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) initiative to raise awareness of the public health harms of porn - exposing the connection between porn and all forms of sexual exploitation.

Send us a textOrganic food often sounds like a smarter, healthier choice—but is it really worth the extra cost? In this episode, we dig into the scientific evidence behind organic foods, pesticide risks, and whether you're buying better health or just paying for a better-sounding label.We begin by breaking down the steep price differences between organic and conventional food. According to the USDA, Americans spend roughly $1 trillion annually on food at home, averaging over $3,100 per person. Organic options can increase grocery bills by 50% or more, as LendingTree reports in this price comparison analysis. My own market trip found Fuji apples nearly double in price, and wild-caught salmon more than twice as expensive.But do organics deliver better health outcomes? Most organic foods contain lower pesticide residues, which 85% of Americans cite as a concern. Yet research shows these lower levels don't clearly translate to better health. Rodent studies show harm at extremely high pesticide doses, far above what's found in conventional produce. Human risk data mostly comes from farm workers, not everyday consumers.A 2023 meta-analysis of 50 studies found that organic diets reduced blood pesticide levels and increased plant-derived phenolics, but showed inconsistent results for antioxidants. Cancer data is also mixed. One observational study found no clear differences across 15 cancer types. Another study of 68,000 participants linked organic food with perhaps a 0.6% lower risk of cancer incidence (JAMA Internal Medicine). However, organic eaters also are more likely health oriented (perhaps exercise more, sleep better), so lifestyle may explain the difference—not the food alone.I ran the numbers: avoiding one case of cancer might require 150 people to eat organic, costing about $300,000 in additional food expenses to avoid 1 cancer. And since organic prices may lead families to buy less produce overall, there's a tradeoff. We know from a meta-analysis that increasing fruit and vegetable intake (organic or not) is linked to a 13% reduction in mortality and a 35% drop in cancer risk. That's a far more impactful move.If you're looking for a middle ground, consider using the Environmental Working Group's Dirty Dozen and Clean 15 lists. While not a neutral source, their rankings can help prioritize which foods might be worth buying organic. Washing produce also helps reduce, but not eliminate, pesticide residues.Takeaways:Organic foods have lower pesticide levels but no clear, consistent health advantage.The biggest health gain comes from eating more fruits and vegetables—regardless of whether they're organic.If organic costs limit your produce intake, stick with conventional and focus on volume, variety, and other wellness investments like better sleep or exercise.As always, I'd love to hear what you think. Does this shift how you shop? Let me know—and share this episode with someone navigating the same choice.
On this week's audio or video episode of the podcast, Phillip is joined for the first time by author Dwayne Epstein of Lee Marvin: Point Blank https://a.co/d/gs1a8pt and Killin' Generals: The Making of The Dirty Dozen, the Most Iconic WWII Movie of All Time https://a.co/d/1TsNfJb . Who better to have on to discuss The Dirty Dozen than this guy. They start the show with introductions. Phillip plays a clip of Tarantino talking about The Dirty Dozen. Then Phillip gives the general information about the movie with some facts thrown in by Dwayne. It's then time for Listener' Opinions from Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Phillip and Dwayne then discuss this 1967' classic war film. (Unfortunately, we talked too long before and during the podcast and Dwayne had to cut it short. Phillip finished the show with some more facts. PLEASE EVERYONE BUY HIS BOOKS. It's then time for Phillip to answer whether he noticed anything in this movie that Tarantino might have liked or used in a film. Then he rates the movie. He then answers whether he would buy this movie, rent it, or find it for free. Phillip then gives his Phil's Film Favorite of the Week; Friedkin Uncut (2018). It's then time for Philllip to promote what's coming next week. Come back on August 29th when Phillip will be joined once again by Antonio Palacios from The Cultworthy Podcast and Back 2 The Balcony podcast for 1940's The Son of Monte Cristo. Thanks for listening and or watching.
How many pesticides are on the produce we eat – and what can we do about it every day?

Understanding the Dirty Dozen and Clean 15: A Guide to Healthier Produce Choices: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses the Environmental Working Group's (EWG) 2025 Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce. Highlighting the importance of making informed produce choices, Leyal explains the Dirty Dozen and Clean 15, which list the most and least contaminated fruits and vegetables, respectively. Key findings include the presence of harmful pesticides in 75% of non-organic produce and the health risks associated with pesticide exposure. Leyla offers practical tips on reducing pesticide intake, such as opting for organic produce, washing fruits and vegetables, and utilizing frozen options when fresh organic produce is unavailable.
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) released its 2025 Dirty Dozen list, a “Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce,” and it serves as a solid reminder that we still have a lot of work to do when it comes to cleaning up the food system. This year, the report found that more than 75 percent of non-organic samples tested positive for at least one pesticide.And get this: Topping the list on the basis of the level and toxicity of detected pesticides were green beans, spinach, bell peppers and hot peppers, kale, collard and mustard greens. In addition, blueberries remain, and alarmingly, green beans (which landed just outside the Dirty Dozen in 2025) displayed residue of acephate, a toxic pesticide that was banned from use on green beans grown for food by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) more than a decade ago. Plus, blackberries and potatoes landed on the list as new additions in 2025.
