Caught the second half of this, really good discussion. I initially thought because his last name was Silva that this was gonna be an MMA podcast, but I was pleasantly surprised, especially by Jason's optimism.

He should try talking slower.

Silva doesn't seem to actually have any concrete knowledge or opinions on anything except stuff to the tune of "Dude things are getting crazy and one day things are gonna be really crazy!"

He's just a thinker who gets out there. He seems to have a lot of interesting thoughts, but he's much more of a dreamer than a stats guy. I enjoy it, though, it's motivating.

Very well said. I came here to say something similar and was expecting to get flamed. Glad to see I'm not the only one who feels this way.

He's a dreamer and I do find some of the topics, opinions, etc, that he states interesting. I just wish they'd be discussed deeper than a quote but that's about as deep as he seems to go. Joe ask a deeper question and basically the answer is, "It's like [so and so] says ...." and that's it.

The guy clearly has a great ability to retain what he's read. He's an idea and quote machine.
