The Random Show — Blockchain/Crypto Investing, NFT Experiments, Dogecoin, Zen Buddhism, and More

Kevin Rose explains he has issues with glucose disposal and says he tried Ozempic (prescribed by a physician) to lower glucose, skipped the suggested ramp-up dose, and woke up nauseated and vomiting; Tim Ferriss mentions Zofran as a nausea reducer and notes it’s also used in some clinical ketamine contexts.

Tim Ferriss describes his current training priorities as maintaining strength and mobility: conventional weight training once or twice weekly, climbing a few times weekly (often followed by lifting), kettlebell swings, and rucking; he emphasizes decompression/hanging for his back and prefers building flexibility via strength in end ranges (“weighted mobility”) over passive stretching.

Kevin Rose says Pilates twice a week dramatically reduced his recurring back “throw-out” episodes from handling toddlers, highlighting the role of core and stabilizer strength; Tim agrees technical Pilates can be extremely challenging and beneficial, especially paired with strength training.

Tim Ferriss says he’s avoided creating an NFT partly because he doesn’t want to be seen as cashing in on speculative mania, but he’s interested in minting to learn; Kevin suggests doing it with proceeds going to charity to reduce ‘money grab’ perception and proposes formats like audio clips, existing media, or original art.

Kevin Rose explains generative NFT art as algorithms with randomness introduced at mint time, producing unique outputs (he uses Art Blocks “squiggles” as an example); he argues curation layers may help people sift quality from noise.
