This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von

Discussed Through the Looking-Glass
“And I grew up a fan of KISS in the 70s. And KISS did that in comic books, in Marvel Comics. They made a KISS comic book and all the members of the band put their blood into the ink vat.”

Lex Fridman Podcast

Discussed Stalin
“There aren't many books I had to stop reading due to their darkness, but 'The Court of the Red Tsar' about Stalin was too heavy and dark for me.”

Huberman Lab

Discussed Lifespan
“Additionally, he has written a popular book that became a New York Times bestseller, titled 'Lifespan: Why We Age And Why We Don't Have To.' He is also very active in public efforts to educate people about the biology of aging and strategies for slowing the aging process.”
Discussed The Warrior Diet

The Daily Stoic

Discussed Yes to Life
“And Daniel Goleman wrote the intro, but it just came out this year, it's called Yes to Life. It's like so good, so good.”
