Any question is fair game, but most involve health, fitness, nutrition, mental health, culture…even sex. They examine common misconceptions and then try to get to the correct answer -- often with the help of subject matter experts. They walk away with a better sense of the facts…and so do you. Full episodes every Wednesday. Shorter episodes every Friday, dedicated to answering a question from listeners.

50% Facts with Silent Mike & Jim McD

The value of not falling in with a crowd?
24 JUL. 2024 · We’re back in the studio together after several weeks away.
We talk about the importance of South Sudan’s near victory over the US in a warmup Olympic basketball and admire the commitment of Luol Deng (and our friend, Jacob Ross) to the effort to improve conditions in the country.
We discuss the value of maintaining your individuality rather than adopting the persona of any group. Unless you can be Batman, maybe just be yourself and think for yourself.
We also touch on accounts of a serial abuser with many connections to the fitness industry.

Creed (2015) | A 50% Facts Review
10 JUL. 2024 · Thirty-nine years after Rocky, and nine years after the last Rocky sequel, director Ryan Coogler served up a continuation/reboot of the Rocky story. This time, Balboa is not the center of the action. He reluctantly takes on the task of training Apollo Creed’s unknown love child, Adonis. Did he know about this kid before he was killed in the ring? (We never found out.) Does this kid possess the skills, the fight, and the heart his father did? (Would this be a Rocky-verse movie if he didn’t?) Do those American flag boxing shorts make an appearance? (You bet!)?
Is this is better film than any of the other Rocky films that preceded it? You decide.
This is one of Sebastian Brambila’s https://www.instagram.com/sebastian_brambila) favorite movies. He jumped in and also ran the board.

Rocky (1976) | A 50% Facts Review
3 JUL. 2024 · You don’t have to be wearing a pair of American flag boxing shorts to get that Rocky is a 4th of July flick (Even though it’s set in February and was released in December.) Why was Creed wearing those shorts anyway? (It was a Bicentennial gimmick.)
How did this film set the template for a thousand Cinderella sports movies to come, and launched one of the most successful franchises in movie history on a shoestring budget? How does a too-old, never-was fighter, mafia enforcer, kinda creepy guy on the spectrum end up fighting the heavyweight champ AND going the distance?
Our frequent media review collaborator, Dean Saddoris (https://www.instagram.com/deansaddoris.ck) joined us to break down these questions. Sebastian Brambila https://www.instagram.com/sebastian_brambila) ran the board.
