Conspiracy and Chill Podcast

In an episode brimming with intellectual muscle, we welcome former UFC heavyweight champion and multifaceted warrior Josh Barnett to the Conspiracy and Chill Syndicate. Josh discusses the strategies behind organizing his next pro wrestling event and shares a slice of his life as a coach and athlete.
Wrestling with both the physical and philosophical, Josh challenges the notion that history marches in a straight line, pondering instead the cyclical patterns of human experience. From the Norse sagas to the streets of contemporary Iran, our conversation with "The Warmaster" explores the ebb and flow of cultural values and governance. Our narrative then turns towards the paranormal and the profound, as we connect Josh's personal altar practices to his love for the visceral power of death metal, exemplifying the unexpected ways life's themes intertwine.
Concluding our eclectic odyssey, we announce an ambitious documentary project set to offer an unprecedented glimpse behind the scenes of martial arts training and competition. For those whose ears are tuned to the rhythm of the ring and the melody of life, Josh Barnett's versatile taste in music, from the beats of Depeche Mode to the twang of Marty Robbins, promises an auditory feast. Join us for this unguarded chronicle where culture, history, and the spirit of the fight converge, and where every punch and every chord strikes a note in the symphony of human endeavor.
