🎙️ Overview

 

In this conversation, Smitty and OB discuss various topics, including the bench press, squat, and deadlift numbers of bodybuilders like Lou Ferrigno.

The conversation then shifts to the impact of social media and the manipulation of algorithms. They discuss the dangers of consuming traumatic content and the misleading nature of documentaries.
