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.

Rob Raffety is back from another sweaty CorePower session, and this time he’s got more questions than answers. From his mid-level yoga effort to a game-show concept called “Name That Rain,” Rob dives into the subtle social science of mat placement in hot yoga studios. What does your spot say about you? Could there be an app for that? Why are yawns so contagious? This episode is a stream-of-consciousness rollercoaster with the charm, wit, and observational weirdness only Raff’s Brain can deliver.
Outline:
- Mediocre yoga class performance reflections
- The music of rain: Rob’s trivia idea that hits different
- Spatial politics in the yoga studio
- The etiquette (and economics?) of preferred mat zones
- Yogis vs. urinal logic: uncanny social rule overlaps
- Speculative business models and why no one pays for apps
- A yawn is not just a yawn—why it might be more important than we think
