Raff's Brain
Raff’s Brain is my playground for goofy stories, real-life adventures, and experiments in how openness, creativity, and technology can bring people together and improve our lives. Expect Hot Yoga Problems, Riffin’ with Raff, Drive & Jive / Walk & Talk, and various zany side projects that are sometimes cathartic, sometimes ridiculous, and hopefully worth your time.

Raff's Brain #204: HOT YOGA PROBLEMS - Namaste, Mofos, the Future’s Coming!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Two days of hot yoga. One impossible baby grasshopper. And a full-blown philosophical detour into the fate of newspapers.
In this Hot Yoga Problems episode, Rob explores the tension between nostalgia and progress — from the tactile joy of reading a physical newspaper to the modern outrage over canceled sports sections.
It’s a sweaty meditation on comparison, change, media evolution, and the strange comfort of walking your hands back from downward dog.
If you’ve ever:
Compared yourself in a yoga class
Complained about “how things used to be”
Wondered how newspapers even survive in 2026
Or needed someone to yell “TAKE A CHILL PILL” at society
This one’s for you.
