Have you ever watched someone believe something so obviously wrong that you couldn’t help but shake your head? That’s the essence of They Ate Stupid, the latest episode of Let Me Introduce You.

Why “They Ate Stupid”?

If you’ve noticed, Adarian recently changed his Instagram handle to @theyatestupid—but why? In this episode, we break down the reasoning behind it and how it applies to the world of movement, fitness, and sports training. The phrase isn’t about calling people stupid, but rather pointing out how often bad information is served up and willingly consumed.

Think about it:

* If someone keeps telling you that something is “good for you,” do you ever stop to question it?

* If the research itself contradicts its own findings (as seen in hamstring injury studies), why do people still blindly follow it?

* Why do people train compensations instead of efficient movement patterns?

The Buffet of Bad Information

We discuss how social media has become an all-you-can-eat buffet of nonsense, where algorithms reinforce misinformation, and thousands of people like it without thinking critically. Some key takeaways from this episode:✅ Just because something is popular doesn’t mean it’s correct.✅ Movement principles exist for a reason—yet many ignore them in favor of gimmicks.✅ Fear-based training (like hamstring “prevention” programs) often does little to prevent actual injuries.✅ If you’re doing a movement that mimics a dysfunction, you’re training a dysfunction.

What Did We Learn This Week?

* Jenn took a deep dive into hamstring research and found that despite all the injury prevention programs, hamstring injuries have not decreased. So, what’s the point?

* Adarian explored the latest virtual reality headsets and noticed something critical: they remove your peripheral vision, isolating you from the real world. Sound familiar? That’s exactly what’s happening in the movement space—people are getting locked into a narrow view of training while missing the bigger picture.
