I think the difference is it's not so much that these guys are a brand, but they become more concerned about winning or losing and doing what they need to do to secure a victory instead of going out there and putting it on the line.
Ever wondered how mixed martial arts (MMA) became a cultural phenomenon? In this episode, Dr. Drew and Bob Forrest sit down with MMA legend Randy Couture to unpack the sport's fascinating origins and its ripple effect on popular culture. But that's not all—Randy also opens up about his surprising poetic past and the projects he's currently passionate about.
The conversation takes some intriguing detours, touching on health protocols, the rise of despair in American culture, and even the impact of video games on kids. They don't shy away from the tough topics either, diving into addiction, the use of Ativan, marijuana for anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and the pros and cons of Suboxone.
One memorable moment is when Randy reflects on the evolution of MMA fighters: 'It's not so much that these guys are a brand, but they become more concerned about winning or losing and doing what they need to do to secure a victory instead of going out there and putting it on the line'.
If you're curious about the multifaceted life of an MMA icon or looking for some honest discussions about mental health and addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
