Episode Details

Rob checks in from a Monday night edition of Hot Yoga Problems with a report from the front lines of diet, exercise, sleep, and podcast consistency. He’s about 10 days into a healthier routine, avoiding chips and fries and showing up for workouts—but one late football game and a restless night derail his plan for a brutal 5:30 a.m. Yoga Sculpt class.

The conversation wanders, as it should, through the appeal of live sports, the challenge of getting older and sleeping well, and the curious fact that Rob has recorded more than 250 episodes of Raff’s Brain. He’s not sure where the show is headed, but he knows what it gives him: creative reps, a chance to reflect, and a record of life as it happens. Dinner brings the episode home with protein pasta, a little bread, and a bowl of peas big enough to inspire a new diet.
