Guys: With Bryan Quinby - Guys: Episode 20 - Crossfit Guys with Joe Mande and Chris James

Episode Date: June 27, 2023

About a year ago I found myself watching the Crossfit Games and I didn't have any clue what I was watching, it is basically competitive exercising So Chris and I had Joe Mande (Hacks) Joemande.com on so that we could talk about competitive exercising. We learn the vocabulary, we learn some jokes and more importantly, we learned how often a crossfitter washes their workout clothes.  I hope you like poetry and understand that Crossfit people are sensitive about pull ups Chris James is the creator of Not Even a Show and he's super funny https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrCbpXz1nGdXJbsPmKxMvjQ Chris also has a patreon https://www.patreon.com/notevenashow For more of me I am on twitter at twitter.com/murderxbryan My patreon is patreon.com/murderxbryan we do Guys+ there which is a podcast about Guys a Podcast about Guys You can get more of Chris and I Sunday nights on twitch.tv/murderxbryan Music by Zachary Fairbrother (twitter.com/avantlard) from the incredibly cool band ghosh  

Hello, welcome to Guys, a podcast about guys. I am Brian. Of course, Chris is here. Although next week,ris won't be here or maybe the week after yeah i love that's one of my favorite things is brian records the episodes ahead of time and has no concept of which one is coming out when even though he decides so that's a lot of fun i also like your intros are like i appreciate how you you don't seem excited about doing the show i think it's actually

good because it doesn't get people like all excited and get their hopes up we sort of you know it allows us to surprise them with some humor well chris i am excited every time we do an episode i'm trying to be like npr-ish there at the beginning, okay? Well, and this week on the CrossFit Guys episode, we have Joe Mandy. What's up, Joe? Hi, thank you for having me. I love fitness and I love guys. Yes, I mean, it's important fitness I've always found just as far as keeping fit and everything like that.

I have walked by a lot of CrossFit gyms. No, not a lot. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You just already messed up right at the beginning of the show. Oh, what did I do? You called it a CrossFit gym. Oh, no. Okay, so what is it? What am I supposed to be calling it a box a box it's called a box oh no are you serious oh man okay so my apologies i'm like why what do you mean it looks like a gym to me like a gym has a gym has equipment i see i see that they also have equipment too but well it's mostly like bars and balls yeah balls i noticed them playing with balls a lot and oh yeah kind of looks like kind of looks like brian's sorry joe brian's a sex guy he's obsessed we did the first episode we did with sex guy did you know

hedonism too oh hell yeah yeah yeah brian brian is obsessed with hedonism and he's like most of the patreon like the reason he does a patreon is to is to find his way over to um to hedonism so so wrong everybody that does the show that doesn't know me believes that as soon as you say it so that's not i mean i'm not gonna kink shame it's your thing you don't worry about it you don't have to worry about kink shaming and he does look like like i mean, you're looking at him. Like, no offense to you, Brian, but you're right, Joe. You can imagine. He looks like the kind of guy who would maybe be down with some nasty stuff.

Yeah. I do not. I look like an innocent, normal guy. Everybody else looks weird to me. So, yeah, I actually did get some terminology here for us to get started so that we can intelligently talk about CrossFit. I thought I'd go through a few of these. It's a lot of acronyms. So AMRAP is one.

I'm sure you have no idea what it is. No, of course not. What does that stand for? As many reps as possible. See, I've learned sort of in working out and whatnot that maybe you don't want to push yourself too hard because you can actually damage your muscles. No, I'm not a fitness guy,

but they're telling you you want to push yourself too hard. Yes. Okay. And it's peer pressure it is it is actually like all bad right like it's all like i was reading this i'll get up here what i was reading before we started recording i want to i want to i'll read this to you guys because it is very, very. So basically, it's like almost it's a thing like. OK, so let me read. Let me read the thing here. OK, a member at our box has been consistently been shaving reps, but still putting in their score as RX, which I think that's record. Let me check what record is.

Oh, I just hate it already so much it's like so alienating to anybody who doesn't know about it already like this fucking guy's been shaving reps and he's still putting it in as his rx and it's like you just immediately have no idea what the fuck they're talking about if you're a normal person i guess that's the idea maybe yeah that's what you're paying for exactly you are paying for person, I guess that's the idea. Maybe. Yeah. That's what you're paying for. Exactly. You are paying for being like the guy that knows it's called a box, which we're just giving away for free now on this show,

which is kind of nice. Oh, we should charge this episode. You should pay. Well, Brian. And again, yeah,

Brian does charge for the patron, but you know, but that's all just, but that's all sex. That's all sex. That's for sex that's all sex that's for like lube cash sex guys in like a fucking two or three weeks now the ripping and the tearing the ripping and the tearing actually crossfit's the same thing right yeah yeah getting ripped and tearing it up yeah i'm tearing your muscle fibers yeah a member so he goes uh for example

now we're going to get an example that none of us are going to understand by the way okay okay for example a previous workout was a couple consecutive amraps that had 15 power cleans before a max cow bike or something and they were doing either eight or nine cleans before moving on this sounds like a it sounds like a science fiction tv show you know where they're like talking about things in this world that that is in our world or like like scientology just like the different levels you can like before you get to like it4 you gotta do 12 power rips it sounds cultish a little bit cultish and i guess maybe that's one of the things people do say about crossfit is it does sort of have that cultish feel right

yeah early on the older podcast somebody tried to get me into like reading science fiction books and like fantasy books and my rule was like if they don't use dollars i'm not like like if i turn it if i start to read it I started to read a book one time so like even if it's set in Europe yeah that's what I'm saying like yeah that's really strict pesos I'm out no thank you this guy only likes American stuff or Canadian I guess yeah well I mean they call them dollars in other places I know what you mean I know you we know what you're saying though when they like they have the normal currency that we use. If they're using some weird...

So John Wick you don't like, then? I like John Wick. They have dollars in John Wick. No, no, John. They have coins. Yeah, tokens. Like you get from the Chive. No, we're not talking about the Chive.

We did an episode on Chive, guys, Joe, and you can collect coins from the chive, like Bill Murray coins or Chris Farley coins. What's the... Sorry, not to go on a tangent, but I once saw a cop car here in Los Angeles that had the keep chive phenomenon. Keep KCCO?

Yeah. Keep calm and chive on yeah yeah yeah and i was like oh no like this guy like like this is like a this is exemplary of like why the cops need to be defunded man i cannot oh shit a chive cop holy shit man that is that is one of the scariest things i've ever heard i know that's like that's i mean like it's expected for them to be proud boys or whatever but to also be a chive guy chive guy like talk about boobs and stuff online and they're like also a cop with a gun yeah that's terrifying this is wild they got a bigger and collector's coin just came out today

what big earn who i forget from what from kingpin bigger Oh, that was from like earn the earnest movies. Bigger, that's very Bill Murray from Yeah, with the with the hair and everything like that. Quite a funny character. If I recall, it is tough to recall because of course that movie is from about 25 years that's what dudes like boobs and movies from the early 80s late 70s bigger gold coin one ounce three thousand four hundred ninety nine dollars all right well at least it's dollars yeah and it's a good at least a good deal like they're not ripping you off includes a free bigger and Ball Challenge coin. So you get an extra challenge coin there.

Very cool. You can get one, a copper one for $49 or a gold one for $400. But then what's the point? Yeah, don't get the copper. Go all in or get the hell out. You got to buy the $3,500 coin. That's just. So anyway, we're back into this impenetrable language. They have been

called out by other members in the past mid workout, even yet they keep doing it. Now, the first thing I thought about when I heard they get called out by other people in the past was the first thing I thought about was like, these guys are all like amped up on steroids and testosterone. And there's guys in there fucking screaming at people for cheating uh which yeah i it is it is that weird thing because like it feels like at the gym a normal gym like not a box but a gym oh oh oh you said normal gym and that is not what we call normal gyms oh i'm sorry what what am i supposed to call them globo gyms okay so at a at a no globo no globo is that is that like a globalist thing is that

okay i don't even want to know they're two they're big globo gyms it's like a big corporation it's not a box like crossfit okay but like at a at abo gym a globo gym is trying to get your money yes crossfit costs like so i was a gym i had a gym membership last year i think it was 35 each for me my wife and my daughter and i started reading at a globo you're at a globo i was at a globo gym yeah uh. S-Sporta or LA Fitness. So I said Globo. So that's like 70. I think it was like $90 for all three of us a month. And I thought that was an extreme amount of money.

And then I started reading how much it costs to go to a box. The cheapest one. A person on the CrossFit Reddit said, I'm at a cheap one. I pay $100. per session, right? Yeah. Yeah. So I checked Vancouver. I, cause Chris is in Vancouver.

I wanted to check and see sort of the gyms there. They all have good reviews because I don't think, uh, those people give bad reviews. Yeah. Good luck writing a bad review. You'll be, they'll kick the shit out of you. Exactly. They see you the next time and they hit you with like a...

Actually, I can't even say the language. I don't even... They'll say A2G. ATG, which is ass to grass. What does that mean? That's just the terminology. I have the terminology right here on my screen next to me in case we need to know what a CFWU is.

What's a CFWU? CrossFit warm-up. Okay, well that. You can just call that a warm-up. Call that stretching. People can use context clues when you're in the box to know that it's a crossfit specific warm-up yeah pd pd professional development i mean that's food weight measure for kettle balls so it's a food food food food sounds more like uh a hedonism term like some of you got to clean up after a session.

So this person, so they've been called out mid-workout. They aren't even topping the leaderboard. And then in parentheses it says, which I think is their attempt at lowering suspicion. So they're cheating, but they're doing the smart thing where they're not, you know, they don't want to cause suspicion by like throwing up this huge record and everyone starts like lower their food amount so no one uh thinks they're cheating that's i've been trying to lower my food amount for a while i'm going three four times a day too man i do a no food november myself wow that's supposed to be difficult and very unhealthy like i mean no i know like you know. Normally, I'm ripping poods multiple times a day. So he goes, but they are mostly cheating themselves, which makes it sound like this person's being reasonable.

But then the very next sentence is people are getting pretty annoyed about it, though. So, okay. Yeah, because that's what I was starting to say is that at a gym, it seems very personal, you know, workouts. Like you might want to try to motivate somebody else or whatever. But the idea of like scrutinizing what someone's doing at the gym and whether or not that just seems like not in the spirit of it. But it is in the spirit of CrossFit. You want to be scrutinizing. I think in the best light, it's like a communal sort of uh we're all lifting each other you know we're like all the poods together but like you're absolutely right that it it has a sort of like

soviet russian feel where everyone's ratting on each other to make like the central government happy with with your you know presence in the organization i think when you put a leaderboard in a gym like you're going to have that sort of competition thing even though everybody's inherently a competition yeah it is yeah competition yeah it does and i guess that does motivate some people i suppose right people who have that real competitive nature, it could motivate them to be more healthy. So that could be a positive aspect of it. For certain people, I think probably it's alienating to other people who just want to be healthy and they're not looking to fucking compete with some jacked up dude, you know?

Yeah, this guy, CMH Ender, which is probably columbus guy actually maybe i could go to his box and take a look actually the box in my neighborhood was like second place at the crossfit games this year which by the way i wanted to start the episode by saying that i've seen four of the crossfit games documentaries because i got like really into watching them last year and don't watch them they're like i won't i won't but but so you know like a real interesting question is actually like and i'm not like trying to make fun of you again but like i do like i do wonder what the like van diagram overlap is between like crossfit games and like hedonism to people because i think it's probably like pretty extreme it's close i'm sure it's pretty much a circle i don't know why i got into it i i guess like i had started

watching these generation iron documentaries about bodybuilders and how come though if we could just trace it back a little bit further i don't mean to but like what what made you do that wrestling was it through wrestling somewhat wrestling but it's also just because i was lifting at the time and then i started to care and then i was like maybe i'll do crossfit so i watched the crossfit games but really all you're doing is watching people exercise like the crossfit games are just guys doing pull-ups which by the way let's get into that yeah because there's pull-up there's a there's a controversy about crossfit pull-ups well i mean like i know about that from my own obsession with marjorie taylor green

who constantly posts herself doing crop what i found out later were crossfit pull-ups which are like it looks like a person trying to injure his or herself like it is like it is so like you're flapping around like a like a flag in a hurricane you know what i mean you're just like there's there's no it makes no sense what you're so herky jerky and like just so like against what you learn is the right way to do anything yeah i remember i did try to call her about it actually because i have her cell phone number but she stopped answering her cell phone after i called her another time um pretending to be from the ku klux klan right you yeah you went straight to 11 you probably could have could have yeah you could have eased

it in by by saying like you're part of CrossFit Weekly or something. Yeah, but I just went straight for the jugular when I got her on the line. No, I mean, that's smart. You only get one shot. You could have said so many different things that I taught you, like YBF. Just to be clear, I said that I was her biggest fan, and we need to know how to publicly support you in our group. I didn't just call her and say I was from the Ku Klux Klan.

Everyone's like, well, that's a pretty good prank, Chris. say i was from the ku klux klan everyone's like well that's a pretty good prank chris say you're from the ku klux klan um what what what is kb do you say kbf a ybf yeah okay what is that you'll be fine you'll be fine well you gotta shorten that you gotta shorten this really does feel like yeah i understand the cult thing because this is like unnecessarily giving acronyms to things. Literally, that's what Keith Raniere did. This is what cult leaders do. They shorten things and create a lingo to make you feel like you're special and part of an exclusive club. And they charge a lot of money oh 160 for a month for a gym where there isn't even really a lot of equipment to me

is just that's so much money for one person and you see people in the reddit constantly saying what am i supposed to do now that i can't afford to go to my box anymore it's like that's kind of sad you thought about getting into whiskey maybe Or prison because you're just doing a prison workout. Just go to prison. Do a crime. It's free. This is free. You'll get free food.

Yeah. New friends. I should mention, I just, I have to mention when anyone brings up Keith Ranieri that I did grow up with and was family friends with one of the main members of the NXIVM cult. And that is not a lie. That is absolutely true she's now anyone i know from vancouver has to do the same disclaimer it's just like you know we have a lot of a lot of the acting community around here i'll her name i'll say it it's her name is nikki klein and so she's one of the high profile oh yeah she's one of the high

profile ones and that was like family friend grew up down the street from her. And yeah, very, very weird. Did you say why did you get involved with that thing? No, I won't get into it too much because there's a lot of real like, you know, I don't even I don't even want to get into it. It'll make me angry. But no, I mean, I didn't say that. I think my brother may have my brother. So I was looking at pull-up videos for CrossFit,

and I noticed that when you look at the comments under it, it's a lot of people saying that wasn't even one pull-up. So they'll show them doing like 20 or however many pull-ups they do, and then people are like, not one good pull-ups they do. And then they're like, people are like, not one, not one good pull-up. So I thought I would look and just user 5092 replied on a pull-up video. And he said, everyone's complaining about the pull-ups, but just about every CrossFitter I've seen in my town's local CrossFit could do about 20 minimum strict pull-ups. It's just that during competition, they're doing it for time. It is kind of stupid, but I did notice that they do develop their pull-ups it's just that during competition they're doing it for time it is kind of stupid but i did

notice that they do develop their pull-up muscles anyway and are actually very good at it i didn't i don't do either and they still don't they still outdo me by 12 at least if they're regular crossfitters a lot more naturally explosive as well i used to do crossfit for basketball and things such as dunking and explosive strength came a lot easier. So now here's the guy. This motherfucker's lowering it to nine. You know it. He's not dunking on a 10-foot hoop.

No, there's no way. You can't just start dunking if you're a fucking CrossFitter. So there's this guy in the comments named I shit real bad 3039. Okay. I'm listening. There's 3,308 other people who shit real bad that makes sense probably more to be honest just some of them don't have usernames or on the other side three thirty forty right yeah it's just in the middle there five thousand those pull-ups are good for training if you haven't developed the muscles yet to even start doing pull-ups

but by doing this for competition and calling it a pull-up is fraudulent in my eyes. If they're worried about time, then I get that. But these are pro athletes, and I think they can do this within 60 minutes easy, probably even within 40 minutes. Next comment says... These are pull-up purists who are not happy with it and they because they disagree right this is the idea of doing it for speed has never been a thing and working out silly max taylor 1636 says how come they didn't do any pull-ups ah ah got him when i was a kid that we had the um presidential fitness

test and i do think i don't know if you guys had like a prime minister we didn't brian probably did but i didn't not in canada yeah but like i feel like that was maybe that's like the impetus of this because i do think you had to like do a certain amount of push-ups and pull-ups in a in a minute or something they let me do the women's pull-ups when i was in school because i couldn't because the women they pull up and then just hung there like oh so it's just holding it yeah and men had to pull ups i mean i mean we were all boys boy since sixth grade but each young uh matt winter 9708 replies to uh max taylor who said how come they didn't do any

pull-ups with haters should try to do 100 kipping pull-ups with a 20 pound vest before commenting if they still have their arms attached to their torso afterwards yeah you might need to use one of those tubes breathe into it do your typing for you because your fucking arms are gonna fall off

they call them kippers they call them kipping pull-ups so it's like i just think of like smoked fish or something yeah where did they come up with these names yeah i i mean e junkie says instead of complaining about the kipping pull-ups which i still can't do get your ass off the chair and try it. Then add 20 pounds and try 100 of them. So he's daring. And then Raiden wins in 71, says, nah, mate, I'll just do less reps with proper form, you know,

to not injure myself while trying to show off. Right. Rule one of the gym, leave your ego at the door. Wipe the machines down. Number one rule of the gym is wipe the machines down definitely lower number of high quality reps equals higher number of low quality reps or is greater than a higher number of low quality reps but i shit real bad did respond to that actually and he's like oh sorry i was gone for a while i had a little incident i had to deal with i had to shit real bad don't need to be able to do 100 pull-ups to know how proper pull-ups look

kicking your legs up is kicking there's a reason why at military selection you fail when you do that so well i feel like i mean like i don't i don't know the history of this stuff, but CrossFit feels like a sort of perversion of some sort of military workout. Yeah. When you see those guys doing those military workouts with a drill sergeant, is there somebody that's leading the class? Help me out here, Brian.

When I've walked by the boxes, honestly, it's just a bunch of people fucking sitting or like doing a bunch of shit randomly in a room you know like some of them have a big ball some of them are just like doing push-ups and pull-ups and stuff it doesn't seem to have a lot of order well first of all when you say Say workout. It's WOD. W-O-D. Sorry? W-O-D. WOD. What is that? Well, you shoot your WOD.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So they're calling this WOD. Like, why don't they just call it a workout? Because it's a WOD. It's the WOD of the day. And, you know, you might be walking by. You might catch a person doing the Murph the fran the cindy uh you know any number of the the girls just like fun dances that they do

that's what they literally sound like it sounds like a fun dance what what is did you have the definition of what those are you want the murph yeah what's the murph? We'll never know, by the way. It's 21-15-9 reps for time of handstand push-ups, ring dips, and push-ups. That's the Murph, I think. And that's named after, they're called the Hero Wads. Because they're named after people in the military. So Murph got killed in 2005. They named a workout out of him. May he rest in peace

are you kidding me i thought it was gonna be like i don't mean to laugh at a soldier dying no no he didn't die about he died doing this workout because it's like not safe i mean i thought it was gonna be like you know somebody who's involved with crossfit who like you know it wasn't like an innovator or whatever and this was one of their workouts but no this is there this is like a patriotic military kind of thing here it is you thought it was like a workout version of like getting on a herald team or something yeah yeah the murph workout is a crossfit workout where you run one mile, do 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 body

weight squats, and then run another mile while wearing a 20-pound vest. That's the Murph. Damn. It's a lot. Yeah, it is a lot. I mean, they say 100 pull-ups, but I wouldn't count all 100 of those pull-ups. Yeah, it depends. Okay, I think we figured out who I shit bad

is. And I have seen him shit before, and'll tell you it checks out oh no i sent that to stefan and dan i didn't send it to you that was well i mean they sent it to me oh really were you impressed uh uh e junkie says so let me okay uh he uh i shit real bad he goes uh e e junkie says so let me okay uh he got uh i shit real bad he goes uh e e junkie says so let me guess i bet you can't barely do 10 strict pull-ups there are many ways of doing deadlifts so there are many ways of doing pull-ups so don't be so ignorant and i shit real bad said uh nice ad hominem oh interested in debate i got i got called though when when this one comes out pretty soon right so i could um yeah so i i got accused of attack ad hominem attacks actually

by one of my followers who's a big fan of my channel they said but they they couldn't believe that i was doing an ad hominem attack on uh graham linehan because i always will just like comment like i'll say graham they someone's posting this altered photo of you or whatever to make you look like a monster you know and and then he said you know i expect more from you which was really funny because like i said this my whole channel is ad hominem attacks that's all i do it's like why are you expecting more it's literally the exact thing that i do. But yeah, so some people do get, that's a real thing nowadays, I feel like,

amongst the people who think of themselves as smart. No, exactly. This has been a thing for a while. I mean, when I was still on Twitter, I would always congratulate someone when they would say I was doing an ad hominem because it was like, okay, tell me any other term like that.

Like any, you know what I mean? Like, you learn one word in the last four years, and you're using it anytime you feel, like, insecure. Yeah. I got yelled at just for asking by a guy who used to be a fan, actually, of the old show. And it's because I asked Matt Taibbi to go on Man Cow Show. Oh. Oh, you did on Twitter. Oh, yeah. I told him to go on Man Cow, and I tagged

Man Cow. Hopefully Man Cow gets a hold of him when you get Matt Taibbi on Man Cow. They would have some good conversations about free speech and everything like that. Coming at it from different perspectives, it would be kind of cool. I knew I had to leave Twitter when I got multiple comments from people saying that I was perspectives it would be kind of cool you know well i knew i had to leave twitter when i i got

multiple uh comments from people saying that i was body shaming steve bannon oh yeah and i was okay i'm out of here yeah that's no thanks like i don't know what we're i don't know what this is about anymore it did seem like the guy was just mad at me because the old show doesn't exist anymore. It's really all it was. Kyle James said none of those pull-ups counted. And then Stephan Linksara of 4053 said, you must be an expert in CrossFit. Please tell me more. What invalidated the pull-ups?

So I shit real bad responded. This is quite the thread. Kicking your legs up doesn't count as a pull-up that's a completely different exercise might as well start doing push-ups on your knees run two miles on a treadmill and stand on top of a chair for the pull-up so that is the pull-up debate uh i shit real bad really really doing well so i yeah they want it they want the debate for sure the cross the crossfit message board is a good place to go. Andy Lay says, I've come to find that these are the two most common answers from men and women, and these are excuses to avoid CrossFit.

Men, I need to train before I start that. Women, I don't want to bulk up and get huge. I guess it can go for any fitness or dedication to physical fitness. What are some random responses you have gotten? John Holcomb says too expensive, which I mean, I understand. It's like an excuse to not do something. But what if it really is just. It's also objectively true.

Yes. Yeah. It's cost prohibitive for sure For some people and especially when Like a lot of it seems to be Push ups and pull ups and like you can just You can do that stuff It's like I think the two most like Reasonable arguments

Are a too expensive and B I don't want to look like Marjorie Taylor Greene like that's not the like Body type I want necessarily Number two is risk of injury which is also valid yeah when you're looking at the form that they have just on those pull-ups alone you like you said you watch that and it looks like someone trying to injure themselves i would certainly think that i would hurt myself doing that for sure three for men says not enough

focus on building muscle and then for women it's too much focus on building muscle that's kind of funny that's like they're what they're doing there is kind of giving you a bit of a laugh like look at this men and women are different and right joey joey you've done stand-up before no no i mean like i'm gonna steal that because have you noticed i've well i have dabbled in stand- up a little bit myself joe i don't know if you realize that but i've tried i've treaded the boards as well so i kind of understand the differences and stuff and it is kind of cool to mind it is funny it is funny that there's a binary like that chris has stayed in chris has stayed in a comedy condo he's got all kinds of stories

about have you ever actually have you done um oh I guess you didn't work with Yuck Yucks probably. So you wouldn't. I actually, the first time I ever headlined was at the Vancouver Yuck Yucks. Oh, so, but, but this was, I was going to ask the Calgary Yuck Yucks is where they have the famous comedy condo. And wow. Oh, I got some stories from there.

They said, Hey, check, check in the, uh, uh, the ironing board. I left a little present for you. There was some really old shitty weed in there that the comedians had left for me. I left a wad. I left a wad. A WOD. People know how many...

It's either you should do the Murph or you should do the... The Kelsey. Yeah Kelsey Or the Karen No, I know that one I know that one You go up to the manager of the CrossFit And tell him something or other You got the Murph

You got the Karen, you got the Pat Tillman The three The Jag 28 Is a good one Another uh another excuse we see is uh this poor andrew guy being told he's making an excuse he goes it's expensive for many of us and in my case where we've gone from only me doing it to myself son daughter and wife doing it oh that's so much money family it has required a revamp of the budget oh i'd say oh the kids like aren't able to do the things they really want to do anymore you know like we won't be going on that trip this year but you know hey guess what good good news is we can

all go do the murph together right for christmas you get like chocolate protein powder eggnog this other person's protein powder for the holidays sorry sorry right uh so which is uh another big excuse is dangerous which again risk of injury is similar worry about bulking parentheses women and fear of the competitive factor

this is actually a fun like family feud board well Travis said I especially like to hear that CrossFit is too expensive from buddies who will spend $100 or more every week at their local bar while searching for female companions. Yeah, you won't fucking subscribe to Twitter yet. You'll spend fucking $7 on your mocha frappuccino. Interesting how that is, how you spend the money on the things that you like.

Also, like, like shaming someone for like doing this for doing anything for female attention it's like well what's i mean like ultimately what's your what's your priority here you know like what do you do yeah i think a lot of the motivation is very similar yeah yeah well another question that was asked on the crossfit board is if you had to train james bond what would you have him do uh depends on which one i would say probably are we talking my guys my guys that hedonism too i'll tell you that much yeah no doubt he probably loves it there that's true also like james bond doesn't like he he's not a superhero. He's a spy.

Yeah, like, he does some cool stuff, but it's, like, a lot of it's driving. You know what I mean? Like, a lot of it's, like, driving. Yeah, it's all motorized-based, pretty much. Yeah, he doesn't do a lot of, like, even hand-to-hand combat, really. He's got, like, watches that shoot little, like, poison darts and shit.

It is true. He doesn't need to really work out but dave basically said uh i'd go two a days okay dave we'll hear y'all we'll hear y'all dave we we think it's a dumb idea and he doesn't need it you'd go in two days let's hear dave in the morning two or four days a week is weapons proficiency and familiarization all kinds including special gadgets but focusing on common firearms okay this this is he's done that this is also he's trained he's that's why a super spy he already knows he's part of the british whatever it's called you know like do they teach hand-to-hand combat

krav maga type work i would hope so and then one to two days a week practice on motorcycles helicopters tank driving etc so hang on does he think he's like meeting james like like a like a 20 year old james bond who is not in The service yet because like otherwise It's like like this is redundant The best what he does And also why He this is not CrossFit No but this is what he would

Do to train James Bond But but it's it's Zero to do with CrossFit has nothing To do with CrossFit at all no because There was an uh there was actually a controversy recently or a few years ago of one of the CrossFit

Games awards was a gun. And people were like, well, that's not a prize we should be handing out. No, you shouldn't. Like a gun trophy or a real gun? A real gun. Ah. I don't think so i don't know that's that is cool that's like the old like if you get to the like top of the pyramid you get a gun to just shoot yourself in the head

there's like nowhere else to go just end it i passed murph's gun around to each other right right yeah maybe it was Murph Maybe it was one of the fallen soldiers That is a great idea though It's like, hey, listen man, you did it Here's your gun You just go around the corner and just fucking take care of it We're not gonna

Paint the ceiling Well, Leroy DeVries had a real issue happen Up on the CrossFit board He came on to explain he says i'm dealing with the gym here in aruba that is a gym sorry why is he at a gym i don't know why he said that i'm dealing with i'll i'll fix it this guy's a fucking idiot this guy doesn't know shit first off we know that he's a fucking pretender let me start with i would not have had a problem if these people were affiliated but they're not the main trainer is a CrossFit level one trainer.

Level one. Now we're at the levels, man. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. And he's allowed to sell to people who are like anybody. And then if you get to level two, then you're like, you're bringing in the level ones. Yeah.

Yes. Or, yeah, I think it would have to be level ones first. Because sometimes you'll be like, hey, that's level 1, which is the best, like number 1. Right. How many kippings you do to release Thetans to reach level 2? Because the other two aren't, but they're conducting local seminars stating that they are. You can find them on Facebook under CrossFit Aruba or Cross Aruba, and you will see what I'm talking about.

They even have a Twitter and Instagram account. It's very frustrating putting years, the time outrageous amounts of money to proudly use the CrossFit trademark, and they're acting as if they have nothing to worry about. used the crossfit trademark and they're acting as if they have nothing to worry about i wrote slash send hq numerous letters plus links and photos so you bought so you're the you're the guy who's like everyone at the office talks about like a fucking guy sent another thing and you know yeah these people with everything else are ruining what we as a community are. Injuries left and right. I really hope CrossFit HQ deals with them as they continuously state

wherever you apply for an affiliate or even just getting your level one, not to use CrossFit in any way possible, except for wearing and show family and friends what CrossFit is. This guy is tough to read. Yeah, I think it might be English second language thing. Yeah, possibly. You know the deal. So I'm dealing with it.

I'm taking it day by day to educate people what we as CrossFit community are as a whole. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone is dealing with this type of situation to this extent. And just got a reply that says, CFHQ takes this thing very seriously. And I can assure you that your emails were read and are being looked into. So is that someone from HQ or just someone that's got like an in?

Yeah, I think it's just somebody that knows about HQ. So they do have a sense of humor. And one of the things you do when you do crossfit is uh uh you can have teams now i can't find a lot of team names i looked all over and it's like usually the name of your box is the i see yeah just like the gym like the same way as an mma or boxing or whatever you're sort of representing your gym but uh the first day i looked at the subreddit said, team of three male competition team name ideas. I'm not great at this. Anyone got any good names you've used slash heard of?

I've looked at some websites. This guy's like looking at websites for names. These names are hideous. Like I wouldn't usually put people joking around on here, but the first guy says three three jerks no snatch so okay hey that's three guys is that like two girls one cup is that a play on two girls one cup there's a lot of those there's so if one of you is short two and a half men well snatch right that's like a uh a kettlebell workout but it's also obviously uh pussy slang for pussy yeah so yeah so they but i do think they they snatch a

lot i would assume yeah well then ad9624 said hook line and sphincter, which I don't even. Huh? I mean, that's, that's more of like a fantasy football team name. Yeah. And it's like one of those ones where it just kind of like, it does sound kind of like funny or whatever. It doesn't really have any kind of meaning behind it. It is a pun.

I mean, congrats. Well, this one is, is one guy said triple tripod, which I don't, I guess if you're talking about each guy's penis. So all three of you have tripods?

Like all three of you are fucking hanging big hogs? Just huge pox guys, man. They just go in there and they got the biggest dick and balls in the box. That is cool to name your... Like if they are doing that, that's like a super cool thing to name anything. Like just like, like yo my my dick is fucking good size my huge dick friends are here at the box while you guys were talking i went on the um like the sort of unofficial uh uh hedonism and there's a hedonism to guy who's

in negril jamaica looking for a CrossFit WOD. Does he get a reply by any chance from somebody? Is there someone named Randy Mon? Because there's a guy named Randy Mon who is the head of marketing for Hedonism 2 and he's a white, old white guy in Jamaica who goes

by the name Randy Mon mon so if he popped up that would be incredible he's sassy as hell joe i mean you go look at trip advisor of course you see a bad review on trip advisor you see randy mon so so this is confirmation from joe here though that there is crossover between crossfit and hedonism too that there are people at hedonism who are looking to get their crossfit workouts in while they're sucking yeah yes because i mean this guy he's saying he's kind of annoyed because he's you know he's there but it's right in the middle of like when he's supposed to be training for the crossfit games and so yeah he's trying to like fit it all in they have a lot of guys that kind of complain more than you would think at a sex resort it's like uh if you go look at if you because i obviously we on the stream we watch tom and bunny

who are sex trip people uh who go on sex trips and then tell you what they are. But we also read reviews on TripAdvisor of hedonism, too, a lot of times. And a lot of people give a bad review. We had one guy give a bad review because the discotheque was too loud and he couldn't sleep. Oh, yeah. It's like, why are you sleeping, man? Yeah, it's crazy to think you would even want to sleep. You can't hang.

I mean, I guess this guy's really serious about CrossFit because my impression of Brian, correct me if I'm wrong, but if you're at Hedonism 2, you're getting a bit of a workout already, if you know what I'm saying. I wouldn't have any idea. How would I know that? You know I haven't been there. I know people offer to pay for it every single week. I'm still not going. It would be pointless. I'm going to say this again, and I say it every time.

It would be totally pointless for me to go there because you have to be nude to go on the nude side. You can't even wear fetish stuff. You have to just be naked to go on the nude side. So I'd be sitting on the prude side and like you know not acceptable yeah there's a nude and prude side so there's a nude and then prude side it's like if you go to the prude side fucking go to sandals and if i well and if i'm paying you to go there you better not be on the prude side oh yeah you better be you better i mean there's something called journalistic ethics i want i want your dick fucking people yeah having sex with people and like doing things you've never done sexually you

know nope not gonna do that um so here's a guy who said doing crossfit at a regular gym i thought you guys would be curious of uh so this is interesting okay and and i would imagine this might cause some trouble because you're sort of showing up the regular workout people oh well there's also another aspect so i've been doing circuit training with weight since the late 90s my boxing coach introduced me to it back then when i was a teenager and i just kind of stuck with many of his workouts for most of my life i noticed it's very similar to the CrossFit workouts that got popularized a little later. So much so that people started asking me if I was doing CrossFit about 10 or so years ago. Anywho, I don't go to a CrossFit gym. Wrong word again. I tried it and it was just cost prohibitive for me, although I really enjoyed

it. Do you notice how I got enjoyed right chris uh nice job but i do enjoy but i do notice that some people seem kind of upset when i take up several weights a bench and go back and forth to the pull-up bar and do burpees on the gym floor do any of you guys uh crossfit at a regular gym and experience the same contempt well of course you would i mean it's that's terrible gemetic you're using up a bunch of different machines at once like that's terrible and also i do like though this guy's kind of like a crossfit hip hipster kind of guy he's got that attitude like oh yeah no i'm actually doing the thing from before when it became popular

yeah i actually knew about this before yeah or he says i recently talked to a friend who was shocked when someone did a circuit hit workout while she was chilling on her treadmill i only replied yes he was probably the only one exercising in your globo gym so that's a little burn on like people in the gym like you're saying all of them are just kind of sitting around and taking selfies for instagram and people not serious the majority of globo gym people have no idea how to train they just exist and cosplay doing sport you mentioned that you was a boxer how many people in a globo gym have experience with competitive sports wrestling judo football anything i don't know i don't know i mean probably the same amount as like in crossfit

wouldn't they i don't know he says i just don't give a f about these angry people who don't know anything about training so well you've got to take the i mean i don't know color supplement but to it takes a certain kind of person a certain kind of pill to open your eyes to take the, I mean, I don't know, color supplement, but it takes a certain kind of person, a certain kind of pill to open your eyes to the control globoists have on the everyday populace. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here's a good thread I found on the board, too, titled, When Do You Wash Your Clothes? on the board too uh titled when do you wash your clothes seems like it's up to you isn't it no but also if you're working out just wash a man like what do you do you gotta wash them after you're done yeah you know he's sweating them then you wash them right yeah adam says i usually train later at night either at 5 or 7

p.m come home manage to quickly dry out the stuff on the balcony so i can shove it back in my bag in the morning since i train almost every day i just change the towels but don't seem to have time to wash my shorts or shirt just wondering when do you wash your clothes that is so disgusting i can't oh my god yeah because like the workout sweat and the smell that becomes oh man he's like yeah i notice it i'm i'm getting a wide berth at the gym as well nobody really seems i mean that is truly disgusting he's talking about like not like hey i'll have jeans or whatever that i won't wash for a week i'll wear them like three times or something like that you know but i will not be working out in them as soon as i sweat into something as soon as i am like you know that it's immediate it's

got to be an immediate wash yes and i wear like workout i mean well i wear lululemon shorts every day and they try really fast you know that just by the way that guy's real he's real despicable that guy who owns lululemon we all hate him around here in vancouver it's a vancouver company makes good sure everything's a vancouver company to you no no no they literally everything's a vancouver company is a vancouver company stucy is i'm not making it up this happens to be a fucking van fucking Vancouver company and everybody hates him. He has this big giant mansion on the West side and he had red hot chili peppers do like a private concert for him on his beachfront and everyone hates him.

His name is Chip something and he's a fucking piece of crap. But having said that, I also have Lululemon pants as well. They do make good stuff. Greg Warren says, I sweat like a whore in church on Sunday, which I didn't like. They don't usually say on Sunday. Yeah, because if the sex worker is in church on a Saturday, they're okay because most of the religious people aren't there.

Yeah. She's sweating not from guilt. It most of the religious people aren't there. Yeah. She's sweating. Not from guilt. It's only on Sunday that it's really Sunday and Sunday. They also, it's like, they don't have, they have an issue with the AC as well. Right. Well, Greg Warren also says when the laundry is full or I'm running out of

workout clothes, it's time to fire up the washer, which makes it sound like, yeah, fire up the water. Like, dude, this is a regular thing you have to be doing in your life like you shouldn't be talking about it like you're turning on something that takes like a long time like the reactor or something he goes i have at least a dozen different pairs of shorts i wear and twice as many t-shirts so this guy is on like a really long cycle you know i? I got you. That's fair.

As long as he's wearing clean stuff, I guess. Yeah, I mean, like, I hate to show my privilege, but I run a lot and I've got many pairs of shorts and T-shirts to choose from as to prevent this situation where I'm drying my disgusting clothes out and wearing them again. That is so nasty. I feel nauseous. You're going to like Joe Spinelli then, who answered the question. He said, I work out at lunchtime, so I store almost all my gym clothes at my office, as well as my jump rope, shin guards, and most of my athletic shoes.

After every workout, they go into a hamper that I bought, and they go home with me every Friday religiously. I have probably eight pairs of shorts and 12 shirts. I cycle through. I can't wear anything more than once because I sweat like mad, but he does keep them at work. Yeah, so they're stinking up some area where he doesn't live. That's kind of rude, I guess.

But, yeah, at least he's not not rewearing it because you're right. The idea of putting on your workout shirt the next day after you sweat. I mean, it that is so disgusting. So here's another question. Here's another good question on the CrossFit board where they say. So I had a couple interviews today, job interviews, and as part of the process, I brought up some CrossFit principles, unknown and unknowable and specializing and not specializing. I brought it up when discussing

surprise projects and the ability to shift from analyzing one field to another. So the question is, have you mentioned CrossFit or some of its terminology during a job interview for a job not related to CrossFit? And in what context did you bring it up? So Douglas answers, I've never brought it up in an interview. But in my opinion, I probably would not bring up CrossFit in an interview unless a, the job was fitness related B, they asked me what I enjoy doing outside of work or C, I know the interview was also in the CrossFit. The smartest way to handle it.

Yes. But that's also someone who's like self-aware and knows like, Oh no, this is like at the very least like esoteric and like very specific and like to talk about it outside of our community um is going to throw people off and make them um uncomfortable and feel alienated you're so right because it is like i i was just shopping for apartments we just we just got an apartment and every tour we took of an apartment, you know, they ask you what your job is. And my wife, like, you know, oh, you know, I work at this office.

And then they ask me, and I get, like, really embarrassed. And then I just say podcaster. But what I did for the people that for the apartment we got was I said podcaster and streamer. And when she looked at me weird, I showed her the Patriot on numbers. So she could know that I'm not like just some guy. Right. Right.

Oh, it did work out, but it's embarrassing to say you're a podcaster. Oh, for sure. For sure. Yeah. So I got just a couple things left here and we can be done.

I got a CrossFit joke joke book you guys want to hear some i mean oh most definitely yeah i don't know if you heard but joe and i are both uh we've both gotten up there on the old mic before and done a little stand-up ourselves i mean i i'm i'm in a comedy club right now oh yeah he's at the Red Brick Wall behind him. And I've also seen... I know Joe is a stand-up as well. I can vouch for it. I have seen him do stand-up at the Rio Theater or at the...

I saw you, I believe, at the Fox Cabaret. The Fox, yeah. Like a former porn theater. Yeah, it used to be a porn theater in Vancouver and I watched him do his stand-up comedy. I'll tell you what, this guy knows his stand-up, so I think he's going to appreciate these jokes.

What did one blonde say to the other during the WOD? Okay, this does sound like a good start to a joke. If you take CrossFit out of it completely. Yeah. Alright, let's hear it's hear though what's the you know i've been watching that box for almost an hour and it hasn't jumped yet i think that's

box jumpers but that almost sounds like a sex joke anyway yeah i mean you're talking about boxes and wads i mean i'm reading into that much different i mean and that's a pretty standard blonde is that a blonde joke Like it'd be blonde people blonde women Being stupid is that the whole Yeah there's another one why did the blonde crossfitter Bring an iron to the wad How come she heard they were going

To be pressing Yeah like I guess but even that is like Iron pressing like I don't immediately Sort of Put those two things together you know what i mean like it just doesn't it doesn't really necessarily work for me as a joke well this will work i'm telling you knock knock who's there turnip turn up turn up the music i

can still hear the newbies screaming. Oh, noobs. We can all get around that concept, no matter what you're doing. We all hate the fucking noobs. We all hate the level one-ers. Yeah, the noobs. Get out of here. Learn everything before you start. Knock, knock.

Who's there? Wendy's. Wendy's who? Wendy's muscles stop hurting. I'm going to kick your ass for making me do this crazy shit. Yeah. Okay. So this is like the military.

These are like shitty military. Oh, they're bad. What did the wife say to her cross-fitting husband after sex? I don't know. Probably something funny, though. I didn't know we were doing that for time too oh okay yeah yeah yeah a little premature ejaculation issue from a man there here's a really good one what did you get when you cross a goat and a crossfitter um probably the same thing because they're already the uh goat the greatest of all time unfortunately that's not the answer the answer is an athlete who's bad to the bone

that's a sheep yeah wow i mean it's not a goat a goat doesn't a sheep has says the boss is like they didn't want to say they're like babies this is crazy like they are kind of like babies well let me check here and see see where we're at because i wanted to do this poem that i read um a crossfit poem oh that'd be a good way i think we're right at an hour so it'd be a good thing to yeah yeah there's a poem and there's also a guide to dating but maybe we can leave the guide to dating for guys plus yeah guide to dating um i wonder if you want like it must be hard to date a fellow crossfitter because you're always sort of you know what what was your time and like it would be hard not to be competitive with them true well this is called a farewell poem to my drama ridden box it's so weird when they say box in the realm of they should just say Jim sorry they should just

say Jim I understand what they're trying to do but they should just say Jim it's really it's really off-putting i don't like it at all like every time at first i was like reading i was like are they talking about the box they all jump on that kind of but it's no that's the well there's a there's that box and then there's a famous fitness slash sport called boxing like you know what i mean it's like it's very it's you're really like entering like worn territory boxes yeah boxes are like so famous yeah like bought like the idea of a box like a moving box or whatever a music box like it's just yeah it's so it's been used so many times right and then it's a verb.

It's also slang for pussy. It's really, really, really move on. Half of the terminology really sounds like it's a pussy thing. Like PSN stands for power snatch, which that is... No, I'm familiar with that.

Yeah. And FS is front squat oh here's one ghd gluteus hamstring developer posterior chain exercise like a back extension so it's like wearing a shirt this is like female body inspector like that's a little less cool than brian has one of those shirts he's like well no it's actually not that it's not that it's like not on that level now chris is all on me about my shirts because i told him on a patreon episode that i have a shirt with deadpool smoking weed on it yeah he has he has a shirt it's like the nike symbol but it's like deadpool smoking weed and it's i don't know what it says but then i just hit it yeah his his explanation for it was just like i was like why did you buy that and he's like because i wanted a shirt with deadpool smoking

weed on it like he just thought of that and decided to buy it i don't know what's cool about the internet is that you can look up any of your favorite characters from fiction or real life smoking weed and you can usually get some sort i'm gonna look up betty boop smoking weed oh you'll get that that's a good one and by the way i do want to i i do mention this a lot as well but joe i think you should know about brian before we end that when he was younger and he used to drink He would get off work and he would come Home and instead of cracking a beer he would Have jello shots at home

I was out walking yesterday in my new neighborhood And I saw Jello shots are five dollars Now which is that's ridiculous Yeah yeah you gotta make those at home for sure you gotta make them ready for when you get home i saw i fell down a rabbit hole last night on tiktok of a guy who he's like yeah some guys like to go to a bar after work and drink some beers i like to go home start a bonfire and shotgun bush light peach

and then all his videos were him in front of like a scary ass like like like demonic looking fire i've never seen this this method too he would bite into the bottom oh the beer can and then crack it oh and i've never even heard of bit bush light peach i was like this guy's like this guy's like operating on such an extreme level i was like so impressed yeah that's amazing yeah that seems dangerous too like you'd cut your lip a lot and stuff biting into it but he doesn't care he does not care yeah no it seems gross so here here's our here's some poetry in the realm of crossfit heavyweights prevail where drama lingers a weight heavier than scale i knew it was gonna rhyme just i don't i don't know well it's a poem for babies so yeah as i bid farewell questions arise in my mind seeking the essence of my purpose

defined authenticity a cherished virtue i hold dear choosing truth over mere niceties crystal clear though not an asshole when authenticity prevails i wear it boldly with no fabricated veils i love this poem for some reason yeah this poem it doesn't it seems like really like something you would write in 10th grade or whatever when you're trying to sound profound or poetic it really broke up with you yeah trying to figure out how you process that totally yeah write a poem or maybe like me a metal song um a crossfit a catalyst for transformation's grace and mobility and mindfulness i found my place physique improved anxieties grip set free energy shored my extroversion danced danced with glee. Amidst the fun and pride, a lesson unfurled. The mental aspect, a challenge in this CrossFit world.

Social bonds grew strong. There was too many words in that line. Social bonds grew strong. Connection, unyielding. Boldness emerged. Comfort zones revealing. Yet dangers concealed within this intense embrace, a hazard to the fragile spiral I failed to face, blinded by benefits, issues brushed aside, unaware of the impending peril, my misguide. A crossfit box, a haven for

joy, sweet embrace, where feel-good vibes empower, leaving no trace, but dependency takes hold. An addiction to endure, authenticity wanes, lost in the allure. CrossFit's next... By the way, this is him explaining why he quit going to his gym, but in a poem, which is a really weird way to go on Reddit. Too literate. He's too literate. This guy can see why he doesn't seem like he would fit in. CrossFit's nature, dynamic,

ever-changing tide, coaches and members, constants cast aside. Over-identification, a weakness unveiled, negative feelings arise when change has prevailed a million reasons ruptured that shakes how long does the poem go like four more okay stanzas of what they call a million ruptures that shake to the core crossfit's honeymoon shattered hearts left sore

i learned the hard way forced to walk away breaking my own happy place guilt and disarray i think when i think about it now this guy asks somebody out at the gym and now everybody's goofing on him joe just changed his background to stoned betty boob Betty Boop. I'm telling you, it's there. It's there. I love things smoking weed. It's like one of my... I wanted to do a whole coloring

book of different cartoon characters smoking weed, but I can't draw. You're going to have to commission that. Confusion lingers, for leaving was a must. Countering dependency, a commission that, I think. I know. Confusion lingers, for leaving was a must. Countering dependency, a balance sought, a trust. Though saddened by the loss of my cherished role,

I failed myself, unable to find a healthier stroll. Crossfit, the betrayer that exploited and hacked, dreams of revisiting, ruins where memories lacked, yearning to greet friendly faces left behind, yet fearing the remnants of a self i may find a reminder of change's relentless unstoppable tide we must adapt grow in transformation reside before wrecking ourselves we must pause and reflect embrace the inevitable our spirits reconnect two more here well it looks like yeah so you don't know what a stance is. Anyways, let's...

In the echoes of CrossFit, my journey untold, exploited and hacked, and experienced bold, but lessons I carry, scars that still remain, a testament to growth, adapting through pain. Check yourself before destruction takes hold. Find strength within. Your true essence

unfold. That's a way to make that into a fucking metal a back tattoo yeah that is that is some cool shit man i like that he came up with an eloquent way to end it is by it's he just sort of changed the words check yourself before you and the people that are responding it's so funny that everybody's responding like what the fuck are you talking about no truly it's incoherent it's crazy yeah like it seems to it there it's really an amazing piece of writing because there's no way to get any sort of foothold as far as what he's talking about it's just a bunch of words thrown together. Yeah, it's kind of sad because it's like he's trying so hard.

I'm assuming he. And if he had a teacher, he'd be like, it doesn't have to rhyme. You're really straining to get these ideas across because you're trying to rhyme everything. So just like, you know. I looked at it, too. He's at level one of poetry. He's got to go to level two where he gave up for sure he uses the word veil like a lot of times well and he said fabricated veil

which is um it's a very poet confusing yeah uh snoo cakes 1904 said cute so what's the real reason and uh he replies tldr introvert burns out in an awkward social situation now writes poems to cope with a trauma so he did write a poem uh i mean it i mean that is fair it does not seem like a good place to be an introvert and also yeah i just wouldn't post the thing yeah i would write the poems for myself or maybe give them to my friends or whatever. I wouldn't probably put them into the CrossFit community. Into the community. Yeah, especially if you're like, I'm too introverted to be a part of this. Well, Arch3 says, aside from the name, the only common thread between all CrossFit boxes is drama.

Good luck at your next spot. And then the last comment here is poncharelli 66 and he said just go work out oh yeah stop with the fucking put the pencil down and pick up a fucking dumbbell buddy well i did find out that like dating a lot of dating happens in these crossfit boxes um but yes because that's your whole life it's your whole social life you're gonna meet people there and and you're you're sweaty you're fucking there are three things to consider before box co-mingling wait no we're saving this though right we're saving this for yeah let's save it for yeah for the guys plus but yeah i, I mean, Marjorie Green,
