Most people think you need a gym to sharpen your boxing.
Using a door frame to build timing, accuracy, defensive awareness, and proper punch alignment is pure technical work.👑🥊🐐
Joe Rogan spills the truth to comedian Joey Diaz that Zyns are the key to elite focus and why carbs are causing people to have massive brain fog and zero energy:
ROGAN: “I use my brain for a living. Zyns are great. They will make your brain function at a higher level.”
DIAZ: “I used to have an unbelievable memory, and now I can’t remember anything.”
ROGAN: “There’s a lot of people that think nootropics are BS, but I can feel a significant difference between taking them and not taking them.”
DIAZ: “Once I turned 60, I started to forget everything.”
ROGAN: “Ketogenic and carnivore diets are also great for giving you more mental clarity. It’s fact!”
DIAZ: “I need 8 hours of sleep now. 6.5 hours does nothing for me. I’ll throw an hour nap in there too at 2pm.”
ROGAN: “Sleep and creatine are so important too. Carbs also give you a ton of brain fog. My brain works way better if I’m just eating eggs and steak. 100%.”
Listening to Cash Money records, then Turk shows up in the studio. Seen as an enemy rapper, but I'm just trying to understand. This studio became my second home, living there. Turk pulls out a backpack stuffed with a billion raps. He's knocking out songs while we observe each other. He took a liking to Piff, who was my worst enemy and greatest ally. They brothers now, though you wouldn't have known it then. Piff started hanging with him every day, and somehow, Piff threw the bug in his ear.

Great example of non-budget-breaking IRL marketing that doubles as content for digital. Vince benefits from direct fan access, and fans get a memorable experience, creating FOMO online. Same approach J. Cole took earlier this year. Go outside, and good things happen.
Dirk on Ant: "I've watched the NBA & been a part of it for a long long time. I've never seen this. A guy walking into the huddle with 8 minutes to go in the 4th and dapping up the entire team…"
Blake: "I have to agree…"
UD: "…As a leader…I would not show that weakness…"
Researchers at the University of Bergen ran a study comparing 213 Sudanese men. Half brushed their teeth with a chewed tree root. Half used a regular plastic toothbrush. The tree root group came out with healthier gums and less plaque.
That stick is called a miswak. The WHO has been quietly recommending it since 1986. In 2011, scientists at Sweden’s Karolinska Institute finally cracked the chemistry.
The active ingredient is benzyl isothiocyanate, a natural plant defense compound from the same family of sulfur molecules that give cabbage and mustard their sharp bite. The compound punches through the outer wall of bacteria that cause gum disease. From there, it dismantles the chemistry that keeps the bacteria alive. The Karolinska team isolated it by running root extracts through a chemical analyzer that identifies individual molecules.
The stick comes from the Salvadora persica tree, which grows in dry parts of Africa, the Middle East, and India. Inside the wood you also find natural fluoride, a gentle abrasive called silica that polishes off plaque, sulfur compounds, and tannins that tighten gum tissue. A separate team at Sweden’s University of Gothenburg ran another trial. They soaked the sticks in a fluoride solution. The fluoride left in the test group’s saliva came out higher than what people got from regular fluoride toothpaste.
A more recent systematic review pulled together a stack of randomized trials. Miswak on its own controlled plaque about as well as a regular toothbrush. Used alongside the toothbrush, it actually beat brushing alone on both plaque and gum inflammation scores. The Princess Nourah University trial from 2024 complicates that. Over two weeks, the miswak group’s plaque held steady while the toothbrush group’s dropped further. And gums in the miswak group got noticeably worse for people who sawed at their teeth too hard. Aggressive horizontal scrubbing tears at the soft tissue along the gum line.
One stick costs under 10 cents in the regions where the tree grows, and a single twig lasts for weeks. In sub-Saharan Africa, herbal toothpastes built around miswak and neem (another bitter chewing-stick tree) made up over a quarter of toothpaste sales in 2023.
The honest caveat is that Western dental literature treats the miswak as an add-on rather than a replacement, mostly because reaching the back molars with a stick is awkward. Used correctly, with soft perpendicular brushing along the gum line and no aggressive sawing, it does what a toothbrush does and adds a low-grade antibiotic on top. For most of human dental history, this is what cleaning your teeth looked like.
Paul Pierce, Tony Allen, and Danny Green went OFF after listening to Brandon Ingram’s postgame comments. 😳
PP: “For him to go to the press conference and say coaches made me a screener, or me getting 9 shots, that has nothing to do with coaches[…] you a number one (option), you an all-star, that’s not their fault.”
“If you sitting there, and you just sitting back to the side… no. Be vocal about that. If I got one shot at the end of the first quarter, and I’m our number option, there’s a problem. There’s definitely a problem.”
“Is Brandon Ingram the guy on this team? Is he the guy? Get the rebound, and bring it up, and do something with it. Say something in the timeout!”
“I always get mad at players that go to the press conference after, who the number one option, talking about, ‘I only got this many shots.’ No, that ain’t happening, homie.”
DG:
“I’m just not a fan of the press conference.”
“If the series is over, then you can say some things that you saw that happened. But after game one…”
“Maybe Darko was trying to use screening to get you to mismatch to switch off. But, you be a screener and still demand the ball. Set a good screen, get the mismatch, go get the ball.”
“They need a floor general. That’s probably why you’re missing (Immanuel) Quick’. But yeah, he didn’t need to speak on it.”
TA:
“For him to get up there, and say that, I’m like ‘ahh.’ Too early (in the series), though. I can see if that was Game 6 or 7.”
DG:
“That’s not a good sign from Brandon Ingram. I don’t know, man.”
