This week Maria’s guest on the show is Tony Hawks, who is a British author and comedian and best known for his appearances on shows like "QI", "Just a Minute", and "I'm Sorry, I Haven't a Clue". His bestselling books include "Round Ireland with a Fridge" which has sold nearly a million copies worldwide. He is not to be mixed up with Tony Hawk, the American skateboarder, who is not as funny as Tony. Recorded on: 5th April 2018 Show Notes: In this week’s show Tony Hawks tells us about his big hit with his band Morris Minor and the Majors and how through his music, his career in comedy began. He talks about the reason why he hitch-hiked round Ireland with a fridge and how that motivated him to write a bestselling book about it. Also, how he was able to open a care centre for kids with cerebral palsy in Moldova due to a silly bet and how he incorporates some of the lessons from his adventures into his corporate talks.

I Haven't played around with some reggae in a while, so I figured i'd bless the podcast with some throwback reggae. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Ray Gowlett is a professional MMA fighter, motocross racer and research skeptic. His lab contains almost 600 subjects (it's a high school) and Ray is constantly seeking new ways to teach and coach. Many of these kids are high-level athletes; just as many don't want to be in the class at all. He's always trying new things, but this cross-pollination of students means every innovation has to satisfy two standards: 1. It has to make people fitter; 2. It has to make people happier. Sound familiar? Ray coined the phrase we repeat at Catalyst often: "Exercise until you're happy." It's the base of the hierarchy he teaches students. He also teaches research skepticism: how to read and rank the value of "research." Imagine a generation of people who believe what they read on Facebook: that's what's coming, except for the students in Ray's classes. I introduce this episode with the question, "Are we measuring 2016 results with 2001 technology?" CrossFit coaches are the champions of objectively-measurable fitness, and exercisers become addicted to having a "score." But other gym chains, like Orange Theory, are beginning to nibble at our lunch: giant scoreboards focusing on one correlate of fitness draw huge crowds. We can be defensive, or we can do better. This episode is the beginning of that conversation: how do we leverage tech to enhance fitness? Will measurement and feedback help us reach higher levels...or is it only useful to get clients in the gym more often? In "Coach's Confessional," I talk about the one of the (very few) mistakes I HAVEN'T made myself, but see all too often in struggling gyms: the "lifetime membership." It's a monkey's paw, and I'll explain why. My next seminar is April 16 in Charlotte, NC. Get signed up!
This week's episode is remarkable for three reasons: Jimmy no longer has laryngitis We cover many popular weather myths We have a guest! Not just any guest, mind you: Tiffany Arment! Yes, THE Tiffany Arment! Not just A Tiffany Arment! We cover all kinds of myths: Does lightning strike the same place more than once? Yes, of course. Sometimes, it strikes the same guy many times (a guy who later committed suicide over unrequited love, a fact unknown to the hosts and their guest at the time of recording). Is it a good idea to hide under an overpass during a tornado? No, it's not, don't do that. Does salt melt ice? It keeps it from forming, but it won't melt it outright. Are Tiff and Jimmy best friends now? You bet your ass, they are. There's a lot to cover, so get to listenin'! Stop believing myths! Start believing facts! Don't get hit by lighting seven times! Show Notes!

Lighting Strike Scars Roy Sullivan, park ranger "He died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the age of 71 over an unrequited love." Bummer. I Haven't the Foggiest Idea... Myth: Fog “burns off” Russian Face Heat Solutions and You Balaclava Lifehack: Don't Let Your Pipes Freeze Jimmy's Pipe Burst Story FROM THE OMBUDSMAN (The word Jimmy meant to use was “petrified”, not “mortified”) There are a gazillion articles about weather myths, many of which have many of the same myths listed. Joel pulled most of the myths featured in the show from here. The closing music for this week wasn't mentioned in the broadcast. It is "Lightning Strikes" by Lou Christie. A very fun song about lighting and how it strikes and strikes again. Image credit: "Leiden Lighting" by Carolina Ödman
