Joe describes the White House UFC event as legitimately nerve-wracking — not exciting, nervous — and says the military jet flyover was the moment it became real.

The conversation turns to Josh Hoket, the wildly entertaining new UFC heavyweight who showed up to the White House event in an American flag bandana, came out to a Hulk Hogan theme, and promptly said Michelle Obama is a man at the post-fight press conference. Then there's Sean Strickland: he showed up to the fan zone uninvited in a hoodie to hide his identity, was made to remove it, immediately got swarmed by fans yelling his name, and was then escorted off the grounds by six officers in bulletproof vests — despite being the only American UFC world champion at the time.

Cold exposure has good short-term alertness benefits but the evidence base for long-term health benefits is much weaker than popularly believed.
In a randomized study of 20 habit-formation techniques run on hundreds of people, almost none of the techniques produced statistically meaningful results.
People given a tiny-habit fallback option (e.g. 10 squats instead of gym) were actually MORE successful at completing the full habit, not less.
The most effective habit-formation technique was 'habit reflection' — recalling a past successful habit, writing down what helped, then applying those lessons to a new habit.
A study found that simply scheduling enjoyable activities was as effective as standard cognitive behavioral therapy for depression, leading to its own therapy called behavioral activation.
The 'worry time' technique — deferring all worries to a designated time of day — helps people realize they have more control over worry than they thought and reveals it is less useful than it feels.
A study found that participants told to try to stay awake while in bed fell asleep faster than participants told to try to sleep — illustrating the paradox of direct effort.
Spencer Greenberg reduced his severe social anxiety dramatically in roughly 6 months through a structured exposure therapy hierarchy, culminating in asking strangers for hugs.
