Food delivery apps combined with cannabis use can lead to significant weight gain and financial waste; Posehn spent enough on delivery to lease a Lamborghini but ended up with poor quality food like dry grilled cheese.
Eating extremely spicy food (ghost pepper level) can cause severe gastrointestinal distress, including simultaneous vomiting and defecation, which Posehn compares to food poisoning.
Posehn refuses to push his son into activities like music or sports despite natural talent, believing that parental pressure can ruin a child's enjoyment and lead to resentment, citing Andre Agassi as an example.
Posehn's mother was harsh and critical, once telling him he was the fattest he had ever been, which he used as motivation to lose weight during the pandemic.
Posehn prefers Metallica's 'Death Magnetic' album (produced by Rick Rubin) over their newer work, feeling it marked a return to their classic sound.
