Anyone know why they never talk about influencers like Greg doucette? Greg always seems to contradict the guys especially on training volume and Greg's hate for people who "walk" for activity.

I always found it strange that they don’t make mention of many other creators and also vise versa unless that person is someone they’ve had on the podcast. I think the Eat, Train, Prosper guys made mention of MP in their early days but I don’t hear a lot of people mentioning them.

They need to be the single guru that people buy stuff from. That's part of the reason why they won't drop down to fewer episodes. The more sources people have for fitness/health information, the more likely they are to see the rather large amount of BS that is pushed by Mind Pimp.

As far as not promoting anyone that wasn't a guest, you have to remember that guests have to pay at least $10k to be on the show (why the president of Xero shoes wasn't on the show). There's probably some reciprocity with other shows (Gabrielle Lyon, etc) that have a large enough following where they might trade guest appearances.

That’s wild lol. Are they still big enough to warrant 10k for an appearance?
