Bobby sits down and discusses all things related to CBD. Based on a literature review of the current research out there on CBD, it's not worth taking (sorry CBD proponents).

There are interesting anti-inflammatory effects of CBD in animal models but few human studies. Furthermore, CBD products have no regulation and poor quality control and have some risks associated with taking them. There needs to be further human studies before we can recommend taking it, but as of now, it's not worth it.

'Tis the season of impeachment...falalala la la la la laaaaa

Impeachment is a tricky topic and it's been used in media the last couple weeks in the wrong context because it's become political. Impeachment is the tool the founding daddies created to ensure our tiny, baby, newborn nation didn't end up like England - because who wants to be good at soccer, eat bangerzbeanz and mash, and wear monocles. This special edition PODCAST will break down the history of impeachment and its process through Congress - definitely not saying it doesn't have some creative gaps which don't (insert Emoji face here)get exploited, but you'll get the idea.

We close out on some food for thinking - is the constitution still a good source of law - can we justify this impeachment process because subsequent interpretations created centuries of inequality?

This Weekly Dispatch covers the 6-13th of October and focuses on being more positive...can't promise it was successful. Internationally, we check back in with Afghanistan, Syria is back in the news, and what does it say about all these wars we constantly get ourselves into - is there a financial motive behind some decisions in Washington DC? We'll recap the CNN Townhall and President Trump's campaign rally in Minnesota (if you didn't read Min-ey-sow-ta) with an accent, you failed. Also, if you haven't heard "thank you for your service" was so 2018, let's get back to 2019 and the phrase "besomebody". Sports happened this week, so did China and the NBA - freeeeeeeeeedom of speech, Ranger!

This Weekly Dispatch we talk more about the Trump investigation because we all love to kick a dead horse and some new stuff has come up, so it's relevant but I'm going to spend probably 10minutes too long talking about it! LISTEN UP! We'll quickly highlight last week's talk on Afghanistan and then Hong Kong and violence (I swear we aren't recycling news)

We'll talk economy, it's smart because we have baroque music in the background. If you're buying a car or know someone who is, some data just came out we'll discuss.

We'll finish up with a discussion of things I wanted to see in the Hobbit but didn't, so thanks, Peter Jackson. Also, be a good dude, what does that mean in the gym and motivating vs shaming?

Guys have a great week!

Sean and Bobby are back for this week's episode of the Cronus Cast. Based on a lot of questions/feedback that we get, we decided to concentrate on RASP2 - the application process, a brief overview of the weeks, and some advice for success.

Make sure you leave us some feedback on what we can do better and what else you guys want to hear about.

Bobby's back from San Antonio. He sits down this week to talk about self-actualization and happiness. He briefly discusses Maslow's hierarchy of needs and how important it is to fulfill these needs then leads into how pursuing medicine is achieving his actualization goals. He closes with some thoughts about happiness and ways to achieve happiness,

This week on the Weekly Dispatch we cover the 22-29 of September, which means I missed my annual Earth Wind and Fire 21st of September window! We'll talk about the impeachment inquiry in a briefer version than you'll get on cable news and without someone yelling at you (too loudly) and we'll tackle Syria and Afghanistan because we like playing the classics. The United Nations General Assembly was in NYC this week, so we'll cover the talking points courtesy of our friends at Un-Scripted. We'll close the week out with some IG news, or lack there of, as well as some random sports and stuff you guys can probably skip, unless you like the Eagles! Let's GO!
