In this show we answer 16 very random questions, some similar, some deep, some fun. I came up with these questions  as things I would like to ask guests but thought it was not right if I did not have answers for them myself so in a totally off the cuff and unprepared show I attempted to answer them. Do the exercise yourself, it's pretty good fun.

The  Paleo diet consists of food that best replicates that eaten during the Paleolothic era. It is free from processed food, dairy products, grains, sugar and legumes but based around plants, animal products, vegetables, fruits and nuts. A paleo way of eating improves health through improved body composition and metabolic function based on the fact that the food that is being eaten is more in line with the way humans are designed to eat rather than the more engineered food we are seeing in the modern era.

Richard "Harry" Harris, SC, OAM, is an Australian anaesthetist and cave diver who played a crucial role in the Tham Luang cave rescue. He and Craig Challen were jointly awarded 2019 Australian of the Year as a result of that rescue. In June and July 2018, a widely publicized cave rescue saved the lives of members of a junior football team who were trapped inside the Tham Luang Nang Non cave in Chiang Rai Province, Thailand. Twelve members of the team, aged eleven to sixteen, and their 25-year-old assistant coach entered the cave on 23 June after football practice. Shortly afterwards, heavy rains partially flooded the cave, blocking their way out. In this show Harry talks us through the rescue that he had such a crucial role in from the moment his phone rang to the end of the rescue effort. It's epic!!

On June 10th 2021 SHOW NO WEAKNESS #0 took place!  A 24 hour initiative that had its participants "explore mental and physical resilience" through a variety of challenges.  This concept is for anyone who wants to learn more about themselves, physical ability is not the limiting factor! As the handbook says "The only reason people fail to complete the 24 hours is due to their own personal weakness." In this weeks show Ivana and Marcus discuss how they came up with this concept and shared a few clues into what people can expect.

Lives have been changed and new limits have been set.  At the same time some have been injured beyond repair and just 12 months ago we saw the founder of CrossFit involved in all sorts of strange controversy which saw him step down from his post. So what's the deal? What's the effect?  That's what we discuss in this weeks show.
