    100 Men vs 1 Gorilla + Reset Your Brain To Beat Burnout | Ep. 238
    May 2 2025
    Baiju-induced suffering, questionable gorilla math, critical China intel you won't hear elsewhere, and real talk on dodging burnout.Welcome to the Alfalfa Podcast 🌾 👉 ⁠⁠http://alfalfapod.com⁠⁠Join the Alfalfa Community Discord - ⁠⁠ / discord ⁠⁠About the episode: 👀🧠🤢 Ever tried Baiju? Witness the raw pain (and Nick's questionable peer pressure) as we kick off EP 238 with China's potent national spirit. Then, things get WILD: could 100 average dudes really take down a Silverback Gorilla? 🦍 We dive deep into the physics, fear factor, and questionable Red Rover tactics. Spoiler: ChatGPT weighs in. 😂After the ape debate, Nick's back from #China with a crucial report from the ground. Forget headlines – hear directly from factory owners bracing for tariff pain, shifting supply chains (Vietnam yes, Mexico no?), and the real potential impact on US shelves & jobs. 🇨🇳💸 Is this "Art of the Deal" or economic slow burn? We discuss market positioning amidst the chaos (#Bitcoin, #Stocks, #Gold).Finally, feeling fried? We break down #burnout inspired by RSA's (Bankless) 90-day reset. Is it misalignment? Dopamine depletion? The hell of context switching? We explore practical ways to reclaim focus and energy, even if you can't unplug for 3 months. 🧠🔥It's raw, unfiltered talk on bizarre hypotheticals, critical #geopolitics, market strategy, and surviving the grind. Grab a (non-Baiju) drink & tune in.Hit LIKE 👍 & SUBSCRIBE ✅ if you're chillin' with us!Timestamps:🍻 00:00 - Baiju Introduction & Peer Pressure: "Prepare to Cry"🙏 04:00 - ZBiotics Sponsor Read (You'll Need It After Baiju!)🦍 06:25 - 100 Men vs. 1 Silverback Gorilla (or Grizzly Bear)?🧱 08:00 - Steven's Physics Argument: The Human Stampede Tactic😱 13:30 - The Fear Factor & Reality Check: "First 20 guys are dead"👶 19:00 - How Many 5-Year-Olds Could Steven Take?
