At Third Street Barbell, we're lucky enough to have three physical therapists as members. Jim's been working with Patrick Bell on a shoulder injury and has been very impressed with his knowledge and how he structures and communicates his rehab exercise selections. Since Patrick's clients are mainly online, we thought it would be good to chat with him about what makes a good physical therapy (and coaching) relationship. He works with Move Your Bones PT, which combines rehabilitation and performance coaching, so he's uniquely suited to address the issues of working athletes, particularly in a virtual setting.  Also, Mike's back for a bit from his own gig as a traveling coach.  You can find Dr. Bell on Instagram at @ptpatbell.  Join our Discord for free at goodcompanydiscord.com!Check out our gym (Third Street Barbell) at ThirdStreetBarbell.com https://www.thirdstreetbarbell.com/ and subscribe for updates about our apparel line at goodcompanyapparel.com https://3sb.co/!

Mike is out of town, so Jim brought in one of Third Street Barbell's most consistent and inspirational members, Josh Hajar.Josh is an emergency department nurse who faced a harrowing fight with non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, and then suffered an injury that set back his recovery and fitness goals. When he arrived at Third Street, he was finally ready to execute a winning game plan for losing weight and getting stronger.

Psychedelics in psychotherapy. That's the theme of this four-part documentary from Netflix. Can psychedelics break damaging thought patterns and allow people to heal from depression and trauma? This doc series would like to prove that they at least hold promise to do that. We cover episodes #1 (LSD) and #3 (MDMA).(Interesting, very recent twist: researchers have altered LSD to make it helpful to the brain but unable to cause psychedelic effects.)Join our Discord for free at goodcompanydiscord.com!Check out our gym (Third Street Barbell) at ThirdStreetBarbell.com https://www.thirdstreetbarbell.com/ and subscribe for updates about our apparel line at goodcompanyapparel.com https://3sb.co/!

Netflix's Untold documentary series takes a look at the phenomenon of The Liver King. Purportedly already a multi-millionaire, Brian Johnson launched a muscular social media and YouTube presence as a “primal” influencer who used raw organ meats, including testicles, rather than steroids to build his crazy physique. He amassed a huge following and reaped more revenue for his supplement company, but was he telling the truth about being natty?  Nope.  The documentary spends a bit too much time setting up his performative persona and a bit too little time examining the fallout of his outing as a heavy steroid user (and his apparent previous life of crime). But the bottom line is that the man and this documentary are steeped in ick.  Other reviews we discussed:The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2025/may/15/fake-fitness-influencers-the-secrets-and-lies-behind-the-worlds-most-enviable-physiques Time Magazine: https://time.com/7284988/untold-the-liver-king-true-story-netflix/Join our Discord for free at goodcompanydiscord.com!Check out our gym (Third Street Barbell) at ThirdStreetBarbell.com https://www.thirdstreetbarbell.com/ and subscribe for updates about our apparel line at goodcompanyapparel.com https://3sb.co/!

We've been talking about cults and how they're covered in the media. Back in 2021, we looked at the HBO documentary series “The Way Down: God, Greed and the Cult of Gwen Shamblin” on a couple of episodes. It is about a crazy, scary religious cult. This week, Mike's under the weather, and we haven't had a chance to record, so this seems like a good time to present these episodes again as one.As a refresher, here's the description of the doc series, “Follows the Remnant Fellowship Church, exploring the fame and power of its leader Gwen Shambling Lara as a diet guru and church leader, and the truth behind her carefully-curated image, detailing the church's controversial practices.”Join our Discord for free at goodcompanydiscord.com!Check out our gym (Third Street Barbell) at ThirdStreetBarbell.com https://www.thirdstreetbarbell.com/ and subscribe for updates about our apparel line at goodcompanyapparel.com https://3sb.co/!

European witch trials, occurring primarily between the 15th and 18th centuries, involved the accusation, trial, and punishment of individuals suspected of witchcraft, often leading to executions. While the specific numbers vary by historian, it's estimated that between 40,000 and 60,000 people were executed for witchcraft in Europe during this period. The majority of those accused were women, with the most frequent targets being single, widowed, or otherwise marginalized women. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/monster-fuzz--4349429/support.

In this episode of the Identity at the Center Podcast, hosts Jeff and Jim discuss with Simon Moffatt, founder of The Cyber Hut and identity researcher, the integral role of identity in security, productivity, and online services. They dive into Simon's journey in the identity space, the importance of fresh analytical tools, and his new book, 'IAM at 2035,' which delves into the future of identity security. The discussion also covers AI's impact on consulting and identity, the importance of non-human identities being tied to carbon life forms, and potential scenarios of AI taking over various roles. The episode wraps up with a light-hearted chat about potential fictional writing endeavors.Timestamps00:00 The Importance of Identity in Technology01:53 Podcast Introduction and Listener Engagement04:57 Conference Announcements and Exciting Events07:47 Guest Introduction: Simon Moffatt10:34 Simon's Journey into Identity and Access Management17:22 The Cyber Hut and Emerging Technologies19:19 Content Creation and Writing Process23:30 The Analyst Brief Podcast25:50 Moffatt's Laws of Identity Security32:40 The Importance of Accountability in AI33:07 Autonomous Decision Making and Accountability35:11 AI's Impact on Jobs and Consulting37:14 The Future of AI and Human Creativity40:22 Challenges and Opportunities in AI43:32 Introducing the Book: IAM at 203556:59 Writing and Creativity: Fictional Ideas01:06:15 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsConnect with Simon: https://www.linkedin.com/in/simonmoffatt/The Cyber Hut: https://www.thecyberhut.com/IAM Radar: https://iamradar.thecyberhut.com/The Analyst Brief Podcast: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/the-cyber-hut/IAM at 2035 Book: https://us.amazon.com/IAM-2035-Future-Identity-Security-ebook/dp/B0D2516SQPConference Discounts!European Identity and Cloud Conference 2025 - Use code idac25mko for 25% off: https://www.kuppingercole.com/events/eic2025?ref=partneridacIdentiverse 2025 - Use code IDV25-IDAC25 for 25% off: https://identiverse.com/Connect with us on LinkedIn:Jim McDonald: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmcdonaldpmp/Jeff Steadman: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffsteadman/Visit the show on the web at http://idacpodcast.comKeywords:IAM, identity and access management, Simon Moffatt, The Cyber Hut, IAM at 2035, Moffatt Laws, digital identity, identity security, AI accountability, AI and identity, identity podcast, Jeff Steadman, Jim McDonald, identity at the center, IdentiSquabble, identity consulting, future of IAM, identity trends, identity conference

The founder of the biggest YouTube skateboarding channel is a Scientologist. Has that fact become public, explaining the channel's drop in popularity over the past few years? Was it the money he spent climbing the rungs of this cult (and not on his skaters and staff)? Or was it just the normal life cycle of a YouTube channel?Rather than reviewing a documentary, this time we're examining the handling of this story through several YouTube explainers and exposes. What do these have in common with real docs?

We're taking a closer look at a topic that we've touched on briefly before: Media covering the effects and inner workings of cults. The HBO documentary Going Clear is one of the most recognizable documentaries about the Church of Scientology. Celebrities like Tom Cruise have deep ties to this cult that was founded by prolific author L. Ron Hubbard.  Some interesting aspects of this belief system are the need to pay huge sums of money to advance to higher levels of the organization and the fact that many aspects are not even explained to members until they have reached specific levels.  For all its focus on mental health, are believers actually involved in activities that support good mental health?Join our Discord for free at goodcompanydiscord.com!Check out our gym (Third Street Barbell) at ThirdStreetBarbell.com https://www.thirdstreetbarbell.com/ and subscribe for updates about our apparel line at goodcompanyapparel.com https://3sb.co/!

A couple of episodes ago, we talked about a dramatic change in leadership at the International Powerlifting Federation. The latest wrinkle is that the federation has recently notified the manufacturers of “stiff” knee sleeves that their products are banned from use in competition – immediately. Is the IPF being fair to manufacturers or its members? What prompted this sudden change?  Mike offers some insights from his past experiences with designing knee sleeves and working to gain IPF approval. What's the rationale behind a system that only favors companies that pay to play? What's the future of international competition if numerous companies, especially those that support meets with sponsorship, fail because they have too much money sunk into inventory they can't sell?  We've got more questions than answers, to be honest.  Listener resource: ONIBUKIYA response to the ban on ONI knee sleevesJoin our Discord for free at goodcompanydiscord.com!  Check out our gym (Third Street Barbell) at ThirdStreetBarbell.com https://www.thirdstreetbarbell.com/ and subscribe for updates about our apparel line at goodcompanyapparel.com https://3sb.co/!

A stroll back 13 years in time takes us to a very “well-reviewed” nutrition documentary that ultimately only delivers a laundry list of fear appeals, misinformation, and pro-vegan propaganda. Not that there's anything wrong with being a vegan, but getting there because you've been told that every other way of eating is somehow dangerous is kind of a cheap way to do it. Sugar is the poison, but so are artificial sweeteners. High-fructose corn syrup is somehow entirely different than other forms of sugar. Meat will kill you, etc. It's the greatest hits of food myths (although seed oils hadn't been vilified yet).  Dean Saddoris  @deansaddoris.ck, or media review homie, hangs with us again.  Join our Discord for free at goodcompanydiscord.com!  Check out our gym (Third Street Barbell) at ThirdStreetBarbell.com https://www.thirdstreetbarbell.com/ and subscribe for updates about our apparel line at goodcompanyapparel.com https://3sb.co/!Local memberships and international fresh fits!

The 5-part Netflix Documentary Court of Gold chronicles the 2024 Olympic Basketball tournament in Paris. It's obviously a love letter to the gold medalist US team, but more specifically, Kevin Durrant, Steph Curry, and to a lesser extent, LeBron James. The episodes follow the tournament's progression and highlight a few of the other national teams along the way. The series features several insightful and down-to-earth interviews of players and coaches of the 2024 teams, as well as great teams of the past.  Dean Saddoris  @deansaddoris.ck chops it up with us again.  Join our Discord for free at goodcompanydiscord.com!  Check out our gym (Third Street Barbell) at ThirdStreetBarbell.com https://www.thirdstreetbarbell.com/ and subscribe for updates about our apparel line at goodcompanyapparel.com https://3sb.co/!

The third sequel to the bodybuilding documentary Generation Iron is all about the natties. It follows a group of competitors during the countdown to the Natural Olympia of 2019. Will natural bodybuilding ever gain the kind of traction that its “enhanced” counterpart does?

Is this the most Christmas movie of our little film festival? Probably. Is it even better that we're dropping it on Christmas Day? For sure!  Mel Gibson and Danny Glover starred in one of the first really great buddy cop movies. Will they catch the bad guys before Gibson offs himself?Did Rorion Gracie choreograph one of the craziest fight scenes ever?   Dean Saddoris @deansaddoris.ck is back for this one.  Do you have a question for one of our Friday “One Good Question” episodes?

Well, we had some confusion about the movie we were planning to cover on that day, a guest who couldn't make it, and an acute shortage of time. So, we punted with a quick discussion about the state of streaming services, a crazy old music video, and thoughts on handling public accusations.  Next week, Lethal Weapon (and a bit of Rocky IV).Join our Discord for free at goodcompanydiscord.com! Check out our gym (Third Street Barbell) at ThirdStreetBarbell.com https://www.thirdstreetbarbell.com/ and subscribe for updates about our apparel line at goodcompanyapparel.com https://3sb.co/!

There's a Christmas in the first Harry Potter? Yes! Three of the eight films include a bit of Christmas. This one seems to show Harry's first Christmas gifts ever. There are a ton of other firsts as well.  This film set the tone for the seven films that followed and wove itself into kids' consciousness everywhere. If Harry is truly a special kid, why does nobody listen to him?  Dean Saddoris  @deansaddoris.ck joins us again for this one.  Join our Discord for free at goodcompanydiscord.com! Check out our gym (Third Street Barbell) at ThirdStreetBarbell.com https://www.thirdstreetbarbell.com/ and subscribe for updates about our apparel line at goodcompanyapparel.com https://3sb.co/!

So, whether or not it's a Christmas movie, Die Hard definitely happens at Christmas. Is it the original action-adventure hostage film? We can't think of an earlier one. Beyond that, Bruce Willis would never have become a movie star without it. Why is it that the person who sees the situation the most clearly is the one no one wants to listen to?  Dean Saddoris  @deansaddoris.ck joins us again for this one.Join our Discord for free at goodcompanydiscord.com! Check out our gym (Third Street Barbell) at ThirdStreetBarbell.com https://www.thirdstreetbarbell.com/ and subscribe for updates about our apparel line at goodcompanyapparel.com https://3sb.co/!

Continuing our festival of films set at Christmas, but not about Christmas, we take a critical look at Iron Man 3. Is this the best Iron Man flick – even though Tony Stark doesn't spend much time in the suit?

We're heading into the holiday season, and with that always comes a couple of things: travel and holiday movies. Because of the first thing, we're diving into the second thing. We've got another “film festival” of movies set during the holiday season, but may not be considered holiday movies.  First up, the second Tim Burton Batman film, “Batman Returns,” starring Micheal Keaton. Does it hold up? Was it ever good? What's the weirdest costume and the best performance?  Dean Saddoris  @deansaddoris.ck joins us again for this one.  Join our Discord for free at goodcompanydiscord.com! Check out our gym (Third Street Barbell) at ThirdStreetBarbell.com https://www.thirdstreetbarbell.com/ and subscribe for updates about our apparel line at goodcompanyapparel.com https://3sb.co/!

Plastic was supposed to be inert, right? I mean, it wasn't supposed to be able to cause real problems for humans, except maybe the whole issue of disposing of them. But plastics are a lot more complicated than that, and microplastics, tiny little fragments of plastic material, are apparently everywhere. And there's not as inert as we hoped. Are they messing with our hormones? Making us fat? Squashing our test levels? This topic is really just beginning to be studied, but we talk through some of the implications.  Also, CrossFit athlete Lazar Ðukić's cause of death has been revealed in the past few days and the answer may have major implications for the future of CrossFit and the Games.  Listener resources:  Report on the death of Lazar Ðukić: https://www.instagram.com/p/DCOdZ-8sdnv/?igsh=cjZ4dGs3MGpuMGQ1  Detection of microplastics in the human penis https://www.nature.com/articles/s41443-024-00930-6  Microplastics in human semen.

Why are there so many federations? Is it just because people can't get along? Without getting too far down in the details of each incident, you must ask, “Why is there nearly always some kind of drama within federations?” No one really knows, but it's possible to take some guesses. Is there any hope for unified federations in powerlifting, or is there too much friction?  Listener resources:   Reddit thread about WRPF drama: https://www.reddit.com/r/powerlifting/comments/1gilgdg/wrpf_corruption_powerlifting_united/  Crazy new sport: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DB5jEGwI0rD/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==  Join our Discord for free at goodcompanydiscord.com!

It was the end for Wolverine and Professor X. At least it was supposed to be. Instead, it's one of the most realistic movies ever made about...mutants with superpowers. High fructose corn syrup has killed off most of the other mutants, and the government is trying to make their own – to become trained assassins. And Wolverine has a daughter?  Dean Saddoris  @deansaddoris.ck joins us again for this one.  Join our Discord for free at goodcompanydiscord.com! Check out our gym (Third Street Barbell) at ThirdStreetBarbell.com https://www.thirdstreetbarbell.com/ and subscribe for updates about our apparel line at goodcompanyapparel.com https://3sb.co/!
