Episode Overview

An athlete and entrepreneur comes on JRE after his tweet that he could kill a wolf one-on-one went viral, generating more discussion than almost anything he'd posted. Arranged by comedian Neil Brennan, the episode is a freewheeling three-hour conversation covering the psychology of social media virality, the dehumanization of opponents in sport and politics, and the Israel-Palestine conflict. The guest discusses his female wellness business — navigating how to market honestly to women — and his Charlotte's Web hemp oil sponsorship. They cover Chelsea Manning's sentence commutation versus a full pardon, impoverished communities and whether money is better spent on rehabilitation than incarceration, and a late discussion of Kanye West's pro-Trump phase and rapid reversal. The episode closes with props to Neil Brennan for making the connection.
