Rap Game Red Meat

Here are some notes in a category format today. We have Music and Science.

Music

A quick note on the current beef between Kendrick Lamar and Degrassi Junior High.

Great job. You’ve elevated this beef to the level of wagyu, and we’re all very pleased for you.

And while I’ll never listen to the handful of diss tracks they’ve lobbed at each other so far, I do wish them both well.

Silly sausages.

Science

The person responsible for teaching Tony Robbins how to clap on stage was a man by the name of Jim Rohn.

They called Jim Rohn the Martina Navratilova of popular psychology.

Not that he was any good at tennis. He despised the game and instead preferred to spend his nights practicing snooker on the ground of his local tennis court.

Rohn secretly wished to be referred to as ‘The Jimmy White of popular psychology’, but no one in America had heard of Jimmy White.

And also Jimmy White wasn’t born yet.

Nevertheless, Jim Rohn was highly influential in the area of self-help and popularized the idea that we are the average of the five people we spend the most time with.

His idea suggests that the people around you significantly shape your behavior, attitudes, and overall personal outcomes.

There’s even scientific research supporting the idea that people who are closely connected might even end up with similar body mass indexes (BMIs)!

And this is why I’m writing about Jim Rohn today.

If you, like me, wish to lose a few extra pounds, then ditch the diet and instead develop a close relationship with a Kenyan long-distance-runner.

Feel free to dispose of your Atkins Diet Workbook in exchange for an amiable anorexic.

And there is literally no point to Jenny Craig if your best mate looks like a javelin.

I’m going to call this the ‘Jimmy White Diet Hack’.

That’s what Rohn would have wanted.

Catch you, tomorrow, Deep
