Inspired by a series of online polls ranking Yuri Belkin, Russ Orhii, and Dan Bell by the likes of Jonnie Candito and our friends at Massenomics, we decided to ask what might be a more important question. Who inspired or continues to inspire you? Comparisons among powerlifters who compete differently are tough. Comparisons among athletes who compete in different sports in different eras are also tough. But what really matters is how YOU connect to a particular athlete. We take a shot at answering these questions for ourselves.

This week’s Discord question:

Ty asked: How do you balance your personal private life from Good Company/YouTube/social media/etc?

We had a couple different takes on this question: How do we divide our time between work and business? How much of our private lives are we comfortable with sharing?

Athletes who are “characters” are a lot more fun to follow. But how much is too much? CrossFit Games athlete Danielle Brandon appeared in a picture posted by CrossFit flipping the bird at her own promotional image. Many commenters reacted badly, claiming it was a bad look for the sport, but were they really reacting to her gesture or were they reacting to CrossFit’s recent search for identity amid organization upheavals and changes to competitive structure. Will a brand new CEO get the situation back on track and make the world safe for middle fingers?

A recent picture of a shirtless, chunky Elon Musk has drawn a lot of conversation online, especially when compared to the equally shirtless, but lean and muscular super talent agent Ari Emanuel (he was the inspiration for the Ari Gold character in the series Entourage). Is it ok to fat shame the richest man in the world, or his he fair game? Or does he really not look that bad?

And what about the weird combination mainstream BS and fringe-as-hell BS that Ari is supposedly using to be lean and low-key jacked at 61?

We also fell into a healthy discussion about the myths surrounding foot health for all kinds of sports.

Haven’t done one of these in a minute.

What are our favorite chocolate and non-chocolate candies

Would Mike rather miss an open layup or get posterized for game winning point?

What’s our most viewed piece of content…and which are we the most proud of?

When is a good time for someone relatively new to lifting to start using accessories?

We also discuss a recent survey about high-quality vs. “cheap but trendy” apparel – and we attempt to get to the bottom of the definition of a “power bottom”

We take a look at the 2022 Netflix film “Hustle” starring Adam Sandler, Queen Latifa, and more NBA cameo appearances than maybe any movie ever. Can an aging basketball scout make an NBA star out of a street baller from Spain? Is this basketball Rocky? Or basketball Creed?

Dean Saddoris of Caffeine & Kilos is back for this discussion. Mike kicks us off with a question: Is there any upside for a celebrity or athlete to discuss whether they’re natty or not? Why even bother to address steroids at all?

You can find Dean on IG @deansaddoris.ck and at caffeineandkilos.com

Avi Lieu, who is a coach herself, is back to help us with this one.

msoli7 from our Discord asked:

What are some of the coaching cues you hate the most? or completely disagree with? 🎙the-one-good-question

Which ones make no sense? Can a lifter really change much during a lift? Are there any cues who can help everyone?
