Hey Josh,

In this Friday's MATI you mentioned that having eggs makes you nauseous. It might be that you have egg intolerance: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/egg-intolerance

I know two people with this problem and these are some suggestions.
- The best nutrition benefits of the egg are in the egg yolk. However one of the people I mentioned just removes it and simply fries the egg white. You still get a solid portion of protein and since you've removed all the fats from the eggs, you don't need to worry that you're frying it. 2 egg whites usually do the trick. You can either do the separation manually, but there's also a small plastic device for it.
- Try bying eggs from local farmers that just have regular chicken. Try eating one egg with yolk from there, and see how you feel.

Edit: BMI is not reliable for people who workout and are muscular, but i guess it's good for you since you are just dieting.

This is often said by fatties, especially the muscle argument is often brought up by fat men.

However BMI is designed so that it basically already assumes a high amount of muscle mass,

I'd say the highest BMI points on the normal range are pretty much reserved for people who are among the 10% most muscular people.

If someone only has average muscle mass they should aim for the lower end if the normal weight range.

Tl;dr
BMI is way too lenient in fatties and muscles have way less impact than you think

Since Josh asked specifically for my fitness advice during the last show, as confirmed by the red car parked in front of my house, here it is:

I'm into the MMA world as a fighter, we don't do fitness to look good or whatever gay shit, we just aim to become strong without becoming fat, otherwise you miss your goal weight category.
And the answer to how to do physical conditioning with minimal time and money is kettlebell swings.

It's a full body exercise, good for legs, core, arms, shoulders, back. You just pick up the kettlebell and you swing it.
It can be done anywhere, at any time, it's cheap, and a set of 100 swings takes approximately 3:30 minutes.

I don't know how weak you are but I assume a 16kg (35lbs) bell would be good for you. Buy a bell, swing it 100 times before shower every day, and you'll be surprised at how strong you become in a mere few weeks.

Kettlebells are excellent but I'd like to add two notes to what you wrote. I think you may be over-estimating things for a beginner with a 16kg dumbbell due to your own fitness levels and experience. The last thing a beginner wants to do is pick up bad form or worse, injure themselves. And even if a 16kg is manageable for them for some exercises, it's going to rule out some good ones. There's more to kettlebells than squats and swings.

I would say for a beginner who isn't in good shape, get a 12kg rather than 16kg. Or even a 10kg. It's very easy for someone who is experienced to overestimate this. I'd also say to @Null to get a good book of dumbbell exercises. I also saw a quite good deck of cards set that had a different exercise for different areas of the body and ratings to indicate difficulty. They were all colour coded. I can see if I can find that if of interest.

But yeah, kettlebells are great. Also, just running is good cardio exercise and a staple way to get fit.

Swing it how? Side to side, or front to back, or what?

Aren’t most Cumtown listeners anti Kiwi farms and support tranny shit?

Not really. Nick Mullen always had very racist jokes and he didn't care about woke/anti-woke shit, it was mostly just about what made him laugh. Stavros is more of a faggot nowadays, he is in favour of all that bullshit and everything, mostly because he wants to get pussy.
Adam is a bug.

Been playing some command and conquer, I love the commando voicelines.
Any suggestions of which one to play after TD?

I'd go for Tiberian Sun and expansion TS: Firestorm. I think some people still play multiplayer and there's a good chance there are mods to improve compatibility with modern systems, unless you are a purist.
 
I don't understand how the fiberoptic drones work if they aren't air launched. How do they not just pretty much immediately cut the fiber optic if it's just dragging behind them from the launch station?

-Edit- I did some searching and apparently they do pretty frequently. They seem like they're pretty much only useful because the intensity of the conflict is so high that there aren't any civilians or casual movement in the areas they're used in.

now its back to cloudflare

Spain’s top football league has once again plunged the country’s internet users into chaos.

On October 18, 2025, LaLiga’s anti-piracy orders led major Spanish ISPs, including Movistar, Vodafone, and Orange, to block a broad range of Cloudflare IP addresses.

The result was widespread connectivity failures that cut off millions from essential online services.

The blackout, which lasted until October 20, crippled access to legitimate websites, gaming platforms, and streaming services.

According to Proton VPN, free signups from Spain surged by 200% as frustrated users sought to reclaim their digital freedom. Many reported that even routine online tasks became impossible without using a VPN to bypass the restrictions.

Cloudflare, a key infrastructure provider that supports millions of sites with DDoS protection, encryption, and content delivery, was targeted because some of its shared IPs had once hosted unauthorized sports streams.

Since Cloudflare’s network architecture assigns multiple unrelated websites to the same IP, the block effectively punished thousands of lawful services for the actions of a few.

Gamers were hit particularly hard. Those trying to play Blue Protocol: Star Resonance, a new MMORPG released globally on October 9, found that the game’s “Start” button disappeared entirely for Spanish players. The only workaround was to connect through a VPN outside Spain.

Both Cloudflare and the cybersecurity group RootedCON previously challenged these blanket blocks in court, warning that they inevitably harm legitimate internet use.

Yet in March 2025, a Spanish judge dismissed their complaint, ruling that they had not provided sufficient evidence of damage. That decision has since enabled LaLiga to expand its enforcement campaign with few legal constraints.

The latest outage underscores the growing reach of LaLiga’s censorship regime, which claims judicial authorization for mass IP blocking in the name of protecting football broadcasts. But the collateral damage is immense.

Businesses, developers, and everyday users have seen their online access vanish without warning, collateral in a digital war they never signed up for.

Proton VPN’s statement captured the underlying problem: when courts permit such broad controls, it is ordinary people who bear the cost. Millions of Spaniards lost access to their favorite platforms, online games, and even local news, victims of a campaign that mistakes collective punishment for enforcement.

Despite mounting public anger, there is no indication that Spain’s censorship orders will ease. As LaLiga continues to claim victories in its anti-piracy crusade, the open internet itself remains the biggest casualty.
