Smear campaign against TDC. I see you. Hi, guys. What's up? I don't want to do this. I see you. Hi, guys.

What is happening? What's up? I don't want to do this. Someone has YouTube open. Who is it? Who do you think it is it was for sure me that's why i was i have these reminders set so like it goes on it went on and it just popped up on my screen down below and i didn't notice that version i um I, I told you so. I don't even like saying that. I really don't.

I don't like saying that. I don't like saying that. We have Caleb in the white, Matt, Susan, the black and seven in the green. Hey, if we move it like this, we could be like the good one the bad one and then you just in between just moderating the good the bad and the ugly uh um yeah i have it i have kids programming on sugar wad and it's for some reason it's just taking off uh kind of like wildfire in the last two weeks so i appreciate that i actually started making um sort of like a second tier of workouts and then i just kind of got derailed by this podcast i was going to make another i don't know what they're called a um what's the word say it again i just said batch

what are those things that we used to play with in dungeons and dragons module is that like another track yeah like a track yeah yeah yeah thank you caleb like a track dungeons and dragons hey where's will is his mom and dad don't let him play anymore like what happened he's all all of a sudden vanished willy will you want me to write your mom a note and tell her that i won't swear anymore what's going on so you'll come back i'm so sorry he needs a little space this is a little space that's all he's still cleansing himself from that week from water i'm sorry for whatever anything mean i said to you about water palooza oh my gosh so that's cool with the three plane brothers um so i i'll fix that. When someone says something that triggers you, and I don't know if trigger is the right word. Maybe we'll circle back around. I'm open to using other words.

What you're doing is you're building a narrative around the word that you have to maintain for possibly the rest of your life. That's's worst case scenario. And you know, people who've done that, it really sucks. It's really sad. So, um, and so, you know, there's, there's obviously the, all the racial slurs, those are the big ones. So someone says, Hey, um, look at those chinks over there. And then you build a narrative around it right away. Like, Oh my God, that's so bad. And chink means this. And then you start like building a narrative around it right away. Like, oh my God, that's so bad. And chink means this. And then you start like building this narrative around it. And then you have to carry that with you

the rest of your life. You have to maintain that wherever you go. And so there's two things that happen. And I use it just like a big racial slur right off the bat. And then we can go with some smaller things here in a second. I use that because not only then do you have to carry that around the rest of your life. So you're this human being, and now you have a bag. These are words that I'm offended

by. And you have to spin why you're offended and how you're offended and all of those things and what it means and the history of the word. And you have to spin all this stuff. And then you have to be emotionally offended by it. There's layers to it. But not only that, But not only that, but you're building – you're an enforcer of racism also. Everyone around you has to also live to that code. I'm offended by that word, and something's wrong with you if you're not offended by that word. Silence is violence. Look at my oriental carpet. We had an oriental carpet growing up in my house as a kid not not once i turned 16 not anymore it's okay for there to be bad words

but when they trigger you you have created a story and what happens is when you create a story, you leave the outside world and you go into the inside world where that story is maintained. Because none of these stories mean that outside, right? You know, kike doesn't mean anything out here when there's no people, like there's no listeners, there's no interpreters. You know that, right? Everyone knows that? It's the people receiving the message that are pretty, there were no people here and that sound were to be made. Like two trees were to come together and they would speak. You know what I mean? Like, you know, it doesn't, it's, it's not

a racial slur. It's only racial. So when there's someone listening, right. Those trees have offended me. I want to tell you, I want to tell you one of the, um, limitations of, of, and so, so when you're triggered, not only are you, um, you – you create a cell for yourself, but you maintain a cell for everyone around you. You are the propagator, the creator, the root, the nurturer of racism, homophobia, anything that triggers you. I'm not going to go down that route. You pick anything. It's not just racism. It's anything.

not just racism. It's anything. So, so I say on Daniel Brandon's Instagram, that shirt's too big. Somehow, somehow that triggers someone. Someone's taken their life, their life and allowed it to be triggered. They have a story story you have a story in your head that's waiting to judge me because i said daniel brandon shirts too big that's what you've done with your life how far how far are you carrying that are you going to carry that to your 70 dude please i don't like i feel horrible for you i know i know some of you've been through some crazy shit and when i say daniel brandon shirts it's in and then you then you have a word called mansplaining and then you have all this stuff you have a massive story and you want everyone and then you go on reddit or instagram

or somewhere and you and you because your story is not real none of our stories are real you have to garner other people support support and energy to nurture and feed your story with this psychic energy, these lies. So not only are you the creator of bad and racism and cages and segregation and discrimination, but you are the enforcer, not just of yourself, but everyone around you. One of the things that people who are trapped in their head who get triggered are unable to do is empathize. If you are in your head, you are unable to empathize. I'm going to look up the word empathize for you guys here real quick. I'm going to look up the word empathize for you guys here real quick.

The act of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experiences of another, of either the past or present, without having the feelings, thoughts, and experience fully communicated in an objectively explicit manner. If you're trapped in your head, if you have bias, if you have trigger words, you are incapable of empathizing. Don't use that word anymore. Don't ever tell me you empathize with someone's situation. You do not. You know what's worse than not being able to empathize? To lie. That you can empathize. You will be lucky if you meet one human on the planet during your stay here who can empathize this is no hyperbole when you meet them you will be blown away what does vicariously mean experienced orienced or felt by watching, hearing about, or reading about someone else rather than doing something yourself.

That's why, do you see why you can't have, you see why that's why you can't have trigger words if you want to be able to empathize with people? I only bring this empathize up to contextualize, to bring dimension, texture, girth, dimension, angles to this idea of what Triggered is and how it is the enforcer of racism, homophobia, sexism, all the stuff, all the psycho woke shit. All that shit's in the woke pile. Now, we all do it to some degree degree it's just completely gotten out of control there's people that build a career off that well that's the thing you're right so you can choose the wrong path and just go down you can

spend your whole life going down that then okay i'm gonna be upset anytime anyone says the word faggot and i'm gonna guard that until the fucking day i die and you suck dude you are wasting your life it's so much better than that life is so much better than that you don't have to guard any of them don't get me wrong you can be like man that guy says faggot and fuck a lot and like i'm not i don't really want to roll with that yeah it's fine that's fine I'm think about the Al Sharpton types and stuff you got to ask yourself Martin did the chicken come first or the egg like did I put these glasses on and now I see myself in the camera so I'm like trying to be like all professorial professorial or or did i know i was going to do this so i'm like i gotta up my costume game a little bit okay prepared only narcissists think that by someone voicing a different opinion is somehow

triggered calm down triggered is only the latest catchphrase used by the self-righteous i don't know what i don't know what he means by that someone help me Calm down. Triggered is only the latest catchphrase used by the self-righteous. I don't know what he means by that. Someone help me. Do you know what he's saying or no? I need one sentence. I need one sentence. But I'm interested. Sevan, think about your blood pressure. I do not have blood pressure. I am a vampire.

I think that might be Armenian for hello. Nice. I feel so calm today. How can you say that? My blood pressure. You look calm. Thank you. You look ready. Thank you. I always like when you shuffle your notes.

It's like super official, you know? He stapled his notes earlier. I saw that. It's a baller. You assholes can't touch the gold son hey so i bought this probably like five years ago probably i don't know more when i like became an executive at crossfit i'm like i need a stapler for my desk and so i went to use it the other day for the very first time. There were no fucking staples in it. It's just been sitting on my desk for fucking five years. Props.

It's just props. But I've been stapling all my notes and, like, piling them up because in case we have people on twice now, I can just – I mean, I have it on my computer, but I like to have the hard ones too. I like to have the hard ones. I've heard it. Remember sticks and stones may break my bones, but words may never hurt me. Yes. So this is one, two, three, four pages today, which is kind of a lot.

That means I don't really know what the fuck I'm doing. The more notes I have, the more scared I am and the least I really know what the fuck is going on. Unfortunately, I think there's a trend there uh i i uh dear um crossfit board crossfit executives crossfit employees anyone who's on the mothership over at crossfit hq hello hello yes thank you. The day you fired Dave, there were two main messages that I shared with you that I meant sincerely. There's a little bit of flexing. And they were – go ahead, Susan. No, no, no. I had nothing oh um and um you just have cotton mouth no it was just have a little sip a little water here oh i got the vid man you know oh yeah that's

right that's right you do got both you got the vid you're surrounded by it you know it's funny my boogers were a little dry and i just worked out and i tried to do something like i wanted to go really really hard for like 20 minutes and I tapped at 15 and I never do that. I wonder if I got the vid. My mom was watching it and said she was really enjoying it up until the fact that you picked your nose and flicked a burger, a booger on the ground. Triggered. That's what I mean. That's what I mean. Triggered. It can be just that small. I had a story.

I see my mom get triggered all the time and I was going to tell a story, but my mom's so great. I just decided I shouldn't use her as a target. No, don't you use her. She's a nice lady. I told you guys, do not start a smear campaign about Dave. Do not do that. I really, really recommended you not do that. And I know that Andrew Weinstein, the PR guy and and and Justin LaFranco, I know I know I know that their their relationship is very close. I know basically Morning Chalk Up is like a shill or a mouthpiece for whatever Weinstein wants him to write.

I know that they have a relationship where basically Justin does whatever Andrew wants. And then Andrew, in turn, gives them like a first shot at the day that i'll tell you when the open is going to be announced and then and then and then you've smeared a shit like yeah yeah yeah oh yeah i'll let you know is it post the bar it's been going that shit that shit would never fly under greg by the way and that's exactly um that and that's exactly what's going on they have they have a fucking they have a bizarre bizarre relationship but but very cnn do you know what i mean it's all it's the uh justin lefranco is a morning chalk up is a um uh a high school newspaper it's a bunch of people playing journal like pretending to be journalists. And I get it.

Like, so is CNN. Like, so are a lot of people. But it's pretty silly over at Morning Chalk Up. Like this last thing that they're doing is really silly. But anyway, I digress. We'll get there. We will get there. This is a complete,

and I'm sorry I'm going so slow today, but I'm trying to stay really calm. Not because I care about being calm. I like actually getting really wound up and busting a nut but it's because um i don't want to like lose my train of thought get like to like a cat that's getting scratched too much and getting a frenzy and bite myself um but uh i i told you that and i let you know that your company is rotting cross CrossFit Inc. is a rotting pile of shit. What you did – I asked one of my friends the other day who died – which apostle died after Jesus? So they smoked Jesus, right?

And didn't he have like 12 bros or 13 bros who were supposed to spread the word? And then who got smoked next? Did any of the other dudes get jacked up? It's probably a Will question. Like when you kill Jesus and it's cool, and then you guys killed the fucking apostle, and it's just nuts that you guys did it and didn't realize that would be too much. didn't realize that would be too much. Like now all the apostles are afraid, all the people who follow the apostles are afraid.

It's pure. It's going to be pure fucking insanity over there. Pure insanity. If you are an affiliate, like if you are somehow anyone doing business with CrossFit Inc, you better brace yourself because like it is, this thing is a rotting corpse. This thing is about to explode with maggots and flies, and the reason why I know that, the reason why I can say that – well, one, I can just – I talked to 50 people over there.

Even the guys I didn't even know before. Even the guys you hired Rosa, they're turning. Well, everyone's just freaked out, dude. You fucking slaughtered the, the, the man in the front yard.

And with no respect, no, like, yeah, it's bad. It's bad it's bad but what brings me back around to this is you couldn't leave it alone you think that you're using the morning chalk up and justin labranco and and and calisi and emily beers the notorious hater dude she's a no integrity hater, dude. She's a no-integrity hater. She's been a pursuer of smut ever since I've ever known her. Go back and look at that article she wrote at the 10-year reunion that Greg had in Whistler.

It's just a pack of fucking lies. And of course you have her working on the hit piece. Leave the Khaleesi out of it, man. She's actually good. And of course you have her working on the hit piece. Leave the Khaleesi out of it, man. She's actually good. Oh, I also recommend for everyone on your staff that you get a 4K camera that gives them a little space. I don't – your team's not – I mean my team doesn't belong close up, but your team definitely doesn't belong close up dave castro is a good dude so it's the gentleman that put on the show met savon and dave at hot shots 19 event and earned so much

more respect for both of you for the love you put in the community holy olsen dudes that's old school hey are you living in um are you living in prescott where are you going Going to Arizona next month. If you're there, I'd love to meet you. So that brings us to where we're at. Not only can you not stop talking, but you're going after Dave. So it's like a double whammy. You have to talk and you think you're hiding because you're using uh justin uh

lefranco you want to see the close-up can you guys bring up the the morning chalk up page you guys want to see the close-up yeah it's just it's just being a dick and mean but but you want the one of the e-coli we're digging the one we're digging deeper day two of e-coli i guess there's no other references or like anything in there is very like the timing of that article ladies and gentlemen there are some claims in that article that are completely absurd first of all i in behind the scenes i talked at length with josh bridges about the the water conditions and about how if you take on too much water you would shit yourself not only that but there is a podcast that i steal shit from all the time called the cliesdale podcast

these guys have like interviewed everyone like days before me so then basically they're years before me yeah look at like no no guys no too close take it back take it back a notch just a little give yourself wingspan like us take notes from us here wingspan how does anyone advertise on there that this these guys have no fucking integrity you know what they did can you pull up their instagram i want to show you what what justin lefranco did dude you have no fucking idea what you're talking about mr leon seven not getting any tonight with the green vest that's a filson vest buddy

ladies i'll be out in a minute just one more hour see see they're lined up at the door uh click on the deeper e coli one and look what they have pinned at the door. Click on the deeper E. coli one. And look what they have pinned at the top. Someone sent me a screenshot of this. Look what they – the first comment they pinned. Oh, it's gone. Oh, oh, oh. Wait, go to the top again.

Let me see. Huh. It's funny. Look at this comment here. Let me see. It's funny. Look at this comment here. The amount of people that think this is perfectly okay is truly astounding. No, you have to question the reporting, my dear. You have to question the reporting, you sheeple. You sheeple.

I remember just being disappointed when the community was in a disarray as CrossFit was going through all of that after the Floyd 19 thing. And then Dave Cash was made CEO. And I think they posted almost immediately just some clip of somebody asking some question about whatever. There's not enough diversity in the CrossFit games, which is a joke because you earn that it's not like just poor timing this is exactly yeah pinned to the top oh that was that was the one this one that i have highlighted on the screen oh okay i don't always come out with an opinion but shut up no like shut like as soon as you see someone who says that like soon as someone in my dm says hey i don't want to take a lot of your time i just move on like go fuck yourself you just did can i ask you a question yeah can i ask you a question no you cannot you already did i i don't always come out with an opinion but basic athlete safety seems

part i mean do you see all the presuppositions here this is like framing it up framing it up it's just so and then why would they pin this? Because they have an angle. We're going to get to the bottom. I'm going to give you guys some more here in a second. I'm not just going to talk shit. Athletes often fear to speak out against the games. What's your source for that?

And that's Dave's fault that they're afraid to speak out? And this was just plain dumb because those are your sources the fucking calisi the fucking andrew weinstein's mouthpiece that goes by the name of justin lefranco and emily beers a fucking notorious hater dude you guys like you guys are morons. Not you guys. Well, I know a handful of you fucking haters are listening. Go do something else. You're pathetic. I'm just here to trigger you. Oh, I know what you're doing. You're writing down all the things I say that trigger you.

Heidi's already picked up on it. Who did? Heidi. Hi, Heidi. when you already picked up on it who did heidi when you hi heidi ah yes we will get to the iron man we will get to the iron man that also takes place in lake monona we will get to the fact that they do that it was misreported that actually that all they had to do i'll give you the biggest thing here and then and then i'm going to go back to something. Just last week, Justin LaFranco of The Morning Chalk Up, our founder and CEO, as a Khaleesi would say, he bragged to his listeners that Dave Castro had texted him in the middle of the night or something, or the middle of the day, and told him that he had been fired or let go. So then Justin, I have a question.

One week later, why didn't you contact Dave and ask him for a comment for this article? Isn't that what journalism does? You have his phone number. You brag to us. He gave you the scoop on getting fired. Isn't that weird? Isn't that weird that you're rehashing a story

that you knew right after the games in August? You knew that there was maybe some E. coli in the lake, and you squashed it because Weinstein wouldn't let you publish it at the time. And now, because Rosa announces to everyone with complete – with no ethics and no integrity, he announces to the world that Dave – he got fired because he doesn't play nice or he doesn't collaborate, whatever words he used. And so now you guys are trying to back that up? Dude, we all see it, you fucking knucklehead. It's not even smooth. it's not it's not even smooth it's it's why would you do that for weinstein justin lefranco do you have no like personal like value or pride or a spine why would you do that for him

how far up does he uh o'keefe just put a post up about finishing up as head of Loudon Life Sports. Thank you, Kent. I think I posted there, are you going to be head of the CrossFit Games? But that is how you know 100% that the story has no merit. Justin LaFranco has Dave Castro's number. It's the same with the New York Times when they did that piece on Greg and I. No one ever called me from the New York Times. They don't want to know the truth.

They're not interested in the truth. But the Clydesdale podcast, you can go back and listen to it. If you want to hear Dave talk about it about it address it directly i think the girl's name is jacqueline jacqueline clydesdale podcast i think i think maybe wad zombie may have put it up on his youtube channel well tell me as a youtube channel i know that i know that's what i've thought too like oh you got a youtube channel what you doing over there fuck off of youtube that we own youtube what are you doing in the article it says there's no comment

from crossfit completely completely more signs that it's a complete charade no comment of course weinstein always makes a comment let me tell you what the comment was weinstein told lefranco hey say we have no comment that's the fucking guy and then and then lefranco has to pretend like oh i'm so disappointed that they didn't say anything darn there's no mention of dave by name in the article it's just a photo of him it's like remember dave castro he was the mexican guy that um worked there um who lives in watsonville like super mexicanville but like the barrio here in california look it up aromas watsonville it's he he lives in a from d's house, it's just fields and fields

of fucking strawberries, grapes, berries, and all that shit and Mexicans picking shit. And they fired him and they got the white guy in the place. Do you remember that? I mean, I don't care. I'm being tongue-in-cheek. Like, hire a thousand white guys. I don't give a fuck.

It's also weird, too, that they said a spokesperson replied saying... Like, before, they've always said... Yes, thank it's always said andrew weinstein being the pr person and now all of a sudden it's a mysterious spokesperson it's right off the playbook you called this like a couple episodes back you said this was coming you said it was going to be vague you said it was going to be framed in a way that positioned it to be like dave doesn't care about the athletes oh we need a hero to come save them. It's their safety that's in jeopardy. It's just a framework of how this article was presented. And now we

have a spokesperson, Andrew Weinstein. Was he on vacation or something? He wasn't around? Yeah, right. It's so funny you say that. Every meeting I ever had with Andrew Weinstein, he was sitting on his porch in Costa Rica outside in the dozen meetings I had with him. By the way, he's a really nice guy. It sucks that he's just such a – he's not a good person. Everybody's playing their part, I guess. Yes, he's not the kind of person like you want your sister dating, that's for sure. Excuse me. dating that's for sure excuse me we go back to the article one more time caleb that that that it's a spokesperson you guys this is can you imagine they're spending the affiliates money

to do pieces on dave to cover up the fact that rosa did something unethical by letting the world know that he fired dave because because Dave doesn't play nice. Did you guys hear what Miranda said about Dave in the podcast today? This is a lady who runs probably the biggest business coming out of the CrossFit ecosystem besides like Rogue or RX Bar. And she's a direct competitor of CrossFit. So she's the biggest in her category. And I guarantee you, I should have asked her, would you be the person today? I should ask her husband too. Her husband's actually, uh, has worked with Dave too.

You want to work with Dave. If you're made of iron, I'm going to steal this. The liver king said this to me. Iron sharpens iron. I think it's from the Bible and I really like it. When I met Dave, I wasn't iron. He mushed me. He mushed me.

He said something that triggered me. My Berkeley ways. Were you triggered a lot? I was triggered as a... How'd you handle that? Just ran home and told my mom like a bitch i am so upset today i still run home and tell my mom shit but i ain't a bitch i went home and i journaled about it that's what i did the art the the the video i did where um i'm basically

just exploding the two videos the dave Dave Castro got fired video and the affiliate video where I'm just like coming unhinged. And I'm just like, I'm just raging. What's funny is you guys have to know that I live a really good life and that I'm really fun and I'm funny and it's lighthearted. And those are just my times of just exploding.

Beautiful, sexy, humble. Yeah, all that shit. And my mom was like, dude, I just hated seeing you like that. And I didn't like those shows. And then, so now every day someone like sends me a text of, or a DM, like, dude, that was the greatest episode ever. Keep fighting the good fight and all this shit.

And I want, but I just, when my mom tells me that I'm like, I'm sorry. Okay. I'll try to make you more proud. And, you know, I'll try to keep my shit together and be more respectable to other human beings. But, um, but I want to screenshot those and send them to her so bad like look just do my show i have approval yes oh should i hit the space bar and it puts stuff up there uh watch the interview on claude's dale fitness friends youtube channel yes yes that's the one oh that's i think that might be the lady who interviewed it's not j Jacqueline. It's Catherine. Catherine Schraer.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, that's the one. And they don't let Dave off the hook there either. She comes at him. I am no thing. I am no thing. Why bring it up now? Why bring it up now two days in a row?

Why the first time not mention Dave's name? Why the second time mentioned Dave's name? It's just it's a trip. Why bring it up now? Why? Why make it the main story when Tia made it to the Olympics? This is about community. We're a community. You should have seen how angry the people were at Wadapalooza who didn't get to compete in the RX division. I just said, but we're a community. We're in this together. But we're a community. It's a celebration of fitness. Yes. We received unlimited – no, don't, Savon.

Sorry, Susie. I almost forgot the words of wisdom you shared with me. I want to tell you that I can't remember a year at the CrossFit Games where someone didn't get sick. I want to tell you that I was at Guadalupalooza this week, and at least one athlete pulled out because of explosive diarrhea, a very famous one ricky gerard i want to tell you that when i covered the rogue classic that there were people telling me there that the allergies were so fucking bad that it was mind-numbing and that i heard at least i heard that um three athletes pulled out because of it but i can only verify i think one andre who day but but it was real. Eyes burning, can't breathe. I want to tell you that swallowing water anytime you're swimming, lots of water, is not good for you. Pool water, shit water,

E. coli water, ocean water. And I want to tell you that that also happens at every single swim, at every single CrossFit Games. It's so obvious the morning chalk up and CrossFit Ingram bed together. Oh, yeah. It's just a branch of it. It's like the end of the

Democratic Party. I don't understand why they don't just say that too like like just be honest about it yeah just be honest just be it's the dishonesty that then leads to okay what's their motive but we know their motive they're they're they're smearing dave like whether you like d, don't like Dave, want to fuck Dave, I don't care. Like – just be honest. I don't think – yeah. I don't think so either, by the way. I don't think so either.

And so here's the thing. It's very hard to be around that. It can be very hard to be around that. Although he's a man of few words, there's times that he will say things to you that you're like, yep, I own that shit. You're like, yep, I own that shit. We asked CrossFit Inc. for a comment on the situation at Lake Monona and decoy levels last summer. A spokesperson replied, we're going to have to decline. As Andrew Souza, as Mike Souza, as Matt Souza, the producer of the Sevan podcast, just pointed out.

What do you mean a spokesperson? Why aren't you sucking off Andrew Weinstein like you normally do? The Madison and Dane County Public Health Department's job is simply to report and advise. This is from the Morning Chalk Up. However, they can't legally stop an event from happening. They can enforce that your child gets an injection before they go to preschool. They can check your – enforce that your show – that you got injections before you go into the local McDonald's. But they cannot, will not, shall not close the beach if there's shit floating everywhere on the top of it they cannot stop you nope nope nope must be dave's fault this is so ridiculous

um but but but later on in the website it says um the beach they were in that morning article they report that the city says that um they can't close the beach or the county. And then later on in the article, it says the beach was closed from July 13th to 26th. So which one is it? Can they or can they not close the beach? That's for you to figure out. It's for you to figure out. And when Emily Beers heard these discrepancies, why didn't she ask for clarity i'll never forget when 60 minutes came to

interview greg it was at his home in uh santa cruz and we're in the garage and the reporter i can't remember her name famous woman she says to him and i see that you're really, really into bikes, really into toys. And he goes, yeah. And the camera's over there. And he said something like – somehow he said something like he only owns like four bikes. And she stops him, and they go – she tells the producers, oh, hold on a second. And she walks over and tells them, Greg, can we do that again because there's 30 bikes in your garage.

You know what I mean? It was just like – What does he do with all these bikes? And I was thinking, oh, man, 60 Minutes is so different than me. Like I would have – then I would have taken that opportunity with the camera on to be like what do you mean there's two uh you only have four bikes i see there's there's 30 in there are 26 of those not your bikes like i like they're not interested in like the truth or like anything beyond just what fits in their little story narrative can you play the beginning of the morning chocolate video this is crazy the one with the three of them close up yes

yes wait to you i mean i'm sorry calicia i like you just so you know i just want to say i like you the calicia i like her i think you're great at what you do like just keep everyone welcome to the bottom line i'm your host lauren palil today we have ceo and founder of Morning Chalk Up, Justin LaFranco, and staff writer, Emily Beers. We have a hot topic that we're talking about. We just released some information about the water. Games athletes have been swimming in Lake Monona. There have been traces of E. coli found in that water. Okay, pause.

Athletes have reached out. So the lake always has E. coli in it. You can basically go to any of the sites and see. The lake always has E. coli in it, and it's just different levels of E. coli. So first thing out of context, first misrepresentation. Go on. Thank you. Talk to us about how they got sick after swimming in the lake,

and ultimately crossfit knew about this information didn't do anything about it so um we're just going to dive deeper into the topic and okay stop okay i know we all have so so none of they don't know any of that they don't know if any of that's true they didn't contact dave like um emily beers is really a rabbit well how do you know that? Well, because I just asked Caleb and he told me she was. She was a rabbit. Let's go to press with it.

Like, what? Go to press with it. What's that noise? It's Kev's mic. Justin is not a journalist. Let me repeat. Puppets report what they're told. Journalists include facts like all the numbers from the health department

including time of the report and location of samples I can't wait to see the emails I can't wait it's gonna be funny it's gonna be funny you guys this isn't you're not you're playing journalist by attacking a former Navy SEAL, SEAL Team 6 operator.

You guys know that? You, Khaleesi, LeFranco, Ms. Beers? You guys know? 15-year veteran of CrossFit HQ? you guys know you guys know they probably the people who hate him would consider him the greatest leader they've ever met you know you know you guys know calisi you know you fucking knucklehead stop turn around and tiptoe out of the room justin go back to trying to sell the morning chalk up. I don't know if you've stopped, but keep doing that.

Sell that shit. Of course, I have E. coli. While Samuel Cornway thought he might have food poisoning, you mean like Ricky and why Ricky pulled out? You mean why every year some athletes have issues with food at the games? Stomach issues? I wonder if that's why Matt Fraser throws up before every workout. Nailed it. Because of the E. coli.

Even in Carson, he was already thinking about the water in Madison. Do you remember the one year when they said that the shorts were like cutting off their legs or something like that? Like the compression shorts that Reebok made and like a handful of athletes. And I think it was like Velner or somebody who just like laughed it off. Like, come on,

man, the shorts. Hey, breakfast talk. Why don't you go do go to the bathroom or something or take a break? You're ruining my story. Don't they use that same lake to run tryouts? You're getting ahead of yourself.

More foreplay. More foreplay. Breakfast talk. Chill. Chill. More foreplay before we get to that. Don't forget, the Morning Chalkup reported that the beaches cannot be shut down. They also reported that they were shut down.

It seems that every year we always hear of a handful of guys that that got diarrhea and if we're hearing about a handful i'm guessing most people are too embarrassed to talk about it oh you're guessing you're guessing the morning chalk up is guessing every year every year every year a handful of athletes i think get diarrhea at the games do i think that do let me let me be really clear do i think that some people drank water there and it didn't sit well with them yeah do i think one of those athletes the next event took first place in the event i think that was emily rolf yeah emily beers even says in that video that she didn't want to report that. That she didn't report that. That Emily did so well in the next event after getting sick.

Why not? Why did you guys wait until today and the day before to publish this? You thought it went good with the Tia Toomey Olympic piece? Emily Beer says, she's heard tons of rumors, a whole bunch, like a dozen, in a Morning Chaka video. The entire video is just woke smear shit.

Ambiguous allegations, gossip. It's like the bullshit we did around Guadalupalooza. It's just like, oh shit, we gotta make something. it's like the bullshit we did around waterpalooza it's like just like oh shit we gotta make something justin somewhere in that video just says let's stop pussyfooting around no one can deny that this is dave castro's fault or decision like he says it like three times like okay check i got off what andrew told me to say that's what i suspect yeah that's what the whole

build-up was right yeah just so they could frame it frame it frame it and then hit him with the punch line come on i haven't applied we got to hurry up and finish this i got an appointment to try to sell this for a million dollars in 20 minutes i sell this thing for seven figures your impressions kill me I can't wait haven't you seen Rambo Justin you know what

you know what those guys you know all you guys stop fucking fooling around. Get back to work and do some, like, good shit. Stop fooling around. Stop being a fucking shill. Have some fucking integrity and honesty.

And sure as fuck don't fuck with the operator. And he's got, like, real fucking, like, people who care about him. Like, real people who care about him. Like real people who care about him. People like he's imparted wisdom and lifelong skills to. Who are just looking for an excuse to fucking pay him back. To do him a favor. To do him a favor. Craig White.

Man, you change your... Do you draw all those, Craig? You change your... What is that thing called? Avatar? What's that? Profile pic. Yeah, but Sevan, dude, don't undercut your guys' water coverage. That was a great weekend.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Will Plummer, Heidi, Sousa, a bunch of these guys, they turned – whose mic is that? Is someone showering at your house, Caleb? Do you have a fan on? No. I think it was maybe when you shared the screen for some reason because it wasn't getting that much feedback before.

Try to unshare your screen and then unmute the mic and see. And it's back. Well, good thing you have a pretty face. thing you look like you're from Pornhub good thing it looks like you're from Pornhub it's got cool background stuff too Emily who is coming who is Emily who is coming off of puking and shitting for 24 hours and then had an event win.

Okay, so I think Emily Beers reports that Emily Rolfe – I think it was Emily Rolfe – was shitting and puking for 24 hours and had an event win. And Emily Beers says, I didn't want to tell that story. And I just want to know why. It's a great story. great story they know that the E. coli levels change from day to day minute to minute hour to hour the three of those the Khaleesi actually I don't know if the Khaleesi is actually listening or if she's just like a conductor but Justin and Emily know that everyone knows that Weinstein knows it go watch the Clydesdale go to Wad Zombie do we have a link to that. Everyone knows that. Weinstein knows it. Go watch the Clydesdale podcast. Go to Wad Zombie. Do we have a link to that? Can we throw that in there, the Wad Zombie on it from his YouTube page?

I don't think it's Wad Zombie's YouTube page. Oh, all right. My bad. They go on to say that CrossFit never talked about it. Well, you see on the Clydesdale podcast with – what was her first name? Scherrer? Not Jacqueline. Cheryl.

Cheryl Scherrer? Let's go back up and see it's pathetic that i don't remember her name i think i have i think i have covid i knew you should have wore your mask to this show surrounded by it over here these guys all know that the levels change every katherine katherine yes sorry katherine i i know you by the way that's just dip shittery on my part dip shittery send me a giant dick in my dms and right below it suck this i mean i'm just an idiot for not remembering your name um and i see that could trigger you you could be like why why are you disparaging the penis i'm definitely triggered why are you disparaging the penis like it's something bad to put one of

those in your mouth i'm sorry not sorry they know the E.coli levels change from day to day they know that i talked about it with josh in the behind the scenes they know that this has been talked about they didn't break this story justin always likes to say i broke the story dude first of all no one cares if you broke a story only you care like when the dave got fired thing happened everyone's like you broke the story no one cared everyone came over to my site anyway to watch the shit they come over to your site to fucking laugh at you and to laugh at craig richie and anyone else who's covering it with just fluff i'll settle down don't get all emotional wow this is what this says let me read for you I like audiobooks I shouldn't knock that it's cool that you read to us but

like no one cares if you broke it first like but but but you're not the first person to talk about the ass the ass water you're not not even close and what how could you even say that anyway anyway justin compares this to how the nba deals with covid thank you katherine nice smile you're comparing drinking shit. E. Coli water at levels so high that caught food, cause food poisoning to a virus that has no,

is no threat against men and their ages from 18 to 27, 18 to 30, who are healthy in the NBA. Are you, do you, is that the best simile you could come up with? You know, COVID doesn't,

you know, you know, it doesn't affect NBA players, right? Those fit, healthy dudes, you know, you know it doesn't affect NBA players, right? Those fit, healthy dudes. You know, like – I'd rather have COVID 20 times than drink a bucket of shit. 50 times. HQ sent athletes into the water.

You know that – you know they tested the swim with with with swimmers beforehand every year wait they know that they test the events i read that and it showed clear negligence i don't think dave tests anything will there anybody that ever takes the programming as seriously as dave castro there'll be people who pretend to will there be anybody who ever puts as much into it as he does? Like the spot that he had, like I've only seen it in videos. I imagine it's his office or one of his offices. And if you just look, it almost is reminiscent of like

when they have those murder shows and they go into the serial killer's room and there's just posters of everybody on the wall, you know, the person they're stalking. Like that's the CrossFit Games programming to Dave Castro. He has year after year after year. And it's just like surrounded in this, you know, warehouse that nobody knows where it's at.

I don't think there'll ever be anybody like that again. We were fortunate to have that. They're starting testing again. They're starting testing for the games. And they're starting it in Northern California. Ah, yes. The games was a super spreader for COVID. So I knew the games was a super spreader event because everyone who came back had COVID,

but I didn't want to tell anyone because I was trying to keep it on the down low. My boy Dave ran the event. And I know people think that that's bad if you go somewhere and get COVID, and I don't. So I just didn't. But the same thing, like, let's say just for example, Wadapalooza was also a super spread event. I would not share that with you guys

because you guys, a lot of people will take it as bad and I don't think it's bad. And for the record, I got it on the plane ride home. Right, not there. Where did you get it caleb did you get it there on the plane right definitely on the plane right ah you're a good dude okay hook us up with wherever you're going we want in we know what to say we can be bought like the morning cock up i love you okay uh i i thought it would be nice just here's a little feedback um calisi and um justin lefranco and emily beers i thought it would be nice if you contextualize how many people die in other sports because you kept

talking about how dangerous it is do you guys know about the isle of man the race the isle of man not familiar with it like five spectators die at every race who's in charge of that event the morning chocolate broke it yeah it's crazy but how many people die in the new york city marathon have you thought of that yeah how many writers have died no not how many fuck the writers you should the audience the audience uh between 2019 uh there have been 151 fatalities holy smokes uh and 200 wait wait on race and 260 fatalities no there's more anyway the fans just oh and 260 fatalities this number includes the riders killed during the manx grand prix and oh i don't know what those are uh but but the fans die more than the riders it basically they just race around this island

it's basically the tour de france and the people are like just like but it's motorcycles and so when they come off the track people gotta go people gotta go crazy i like this this is good man so ruden ahmed it's not a sanctioned event though that's good hey isn't that funny i don't know if what he's saying is really true but they shut down the whole island in the main road that goes around the island oh here we go since it was first raced 112 years ago 270 people riders officially spectators bystanders have died on the mountain course oh my goodness i'm not empathizing with that it's funny because we need a little context to the situation all of a sudden doesn't seem so bad right right right i mean it's just it's so it's um they didn't matters do not take anything

these guys put out seriously do not basically what they're doing is they're trying to trigger you and they want you to enforce their delusion it's what andrew weinstein does for a living he helps to enforce people's delusion and in a second here if we have time oh yeah we have time i'm gonna get i'm gonna show you the dei council uh the video that rory interviewed someone from the dei council and we're gonna define uh diversity exclusivity and include exclusivity diversity well i can't compete at the crossfit games i feel pretty excluded right now so i don't they're not doing a great job diversity equity and inclusivity and you're gonna see this is it's it's all that it's this is it's woke fit you have to know that it's theater yes this isn't there like crossfit is is uh at the at the end the calise says crossfit um

uh crossfit is all about health like don't lie crossfit hq is all about making money and i don't have an issue with that zero i'm all about fucking making money too tons of it just don't lie about it my kids will never go to school i know this is hard to believe and i can't believe i'm saying this but school's for chumps especially if you got a dope ass dad like me and even a better mom you can't make you can't make kids take drugs in order like anytime anyone gives you an ultimatum like if you're in a relationship and the lady's like hey if you don't ask me to marry you i'm gonna leave you or the guy says you hey if you don't give me kids like now i'm leaving you like you you you're you need to leave it is the telltale sign for disaster you never you never do coercion ultimatum it's um i could do a whole

show on it it's it's not high level thinking but it just requires a little bit of thinking, and then I could logically explain what – there's real consequences with that, like real consequences. Yeah, yeah. Isle of Man, two racers dying. Yeah, but how many people in the stands? I mean it's nuts. Can I see the link to the Ironman? Let's not forget that the Ironman does an event in Lake Monona every year also. The Ironman.

The Ironman. Justin, Emily, Khaleesi, don't you think – sorry, I'll leave Khaleesi out of it. Justin, Emily, Khaleesi, don't you think – sorry, I'll leave Khaleesi out of it. Miss Beers, Mr. Franco, don't you think that you should have, like – this is important. Did you contact these people and ask them if they ever had any people get poop-a-rea from the lake? This next one you guys are really going to love. They have another event in the lake. You guys ready for this? It's called the

Big Swell Swim. And it's an event that happens every year where people swim in the lake to raise money to keep the lake clean. Someone died in that event last year.

They fished out a 51-year- year old dude oh my gosh we test the we test water at the beaches listed below for e coli bacteria and cyanide cyanide cyanobacteria blue green algae and, and their toxins to protect swimmers and other recreational water users. If a water test shows concerning results, the beach will close until levels of E. coli or bacteria, blue-green algae decline. I mean, you can find all over the place that they actually do close the beaches. Yeah. Were you reading off the public health thing from?

Yeah, I couldn't find anywhere on the web where they were like, hey, we tested it. It's ass swim at your own risk. Like I didn't I couldn't find that anywhere. As long as you're vaccinated, you're good. You can swim in this lake. Wear your mask. Yeah. As long as you got a mask on. Oh, the guy died of a heart attack. You can ask anyone who ever worked with Greg, with Dave, that he always asked for feedback. Always, always, always, always. There was Mike Ray there.

There was Chuck Carswell there. There was like, there would be stuff that Dave would be adamant about. They're going on out on the field no matter what. And one of his staff would be like, Dave, it's just too hot. Dave would be like, and then he would act accordingly. Did you think my name was Jacqueline because I look like

I could be Jacqueline Dahlstrom as much? Yes. Much younger, sister. It's insane. It's insane the picture they're trying to paint of him. Don't find someone who knows Dave. it's insane. It's insane. The picture they're trying to paint of him. Don't try. Don't find someone who knows Dave. Go read the hundreds of posts from people that work directly with him over years and years and years.

I mean, yeah. I'm not talking about like some athlete. Yeah. I don't want to hear Katrin doters opinion of him. Of course she has a contentious opinion. All those idiots have contentious opinion of him sorry go ahead matt no but that was just it like the athletes that are going to be there especially

when things are going their way or they're all going to have opinions about it and he is the person to blame right you got to always take that with a grain of salt but if you're going to listen to especially what armhammer said and the team that's built around him and say that hey it, it's not just Dave. It's not just one man. There's a team. And if you say that it's just David disrespecting the team, well, where's the team now? Like now all of a sudden they don't want to talk about that. Right. They just want to, they just want to put him up there and say, no, it's just his fault.

But before when it worked for their narrative, they want to bring in the team. You guys are disrespecting the team. Oh, but now about the water. No, that's just it. It's funny that you mentioned that the team, there are some insane people on the team you guys are disrespecting the team oh but now about the water no that's just it like by the way it's funny that you mentioned that the team there are some insane people on the team do not get me wrong there are some amazing people on the team but they're wounded none of them are even at 50 they're deeply wounded the whole place is a rotting fucking corpse. We worked in a free company. All the shit you heard, everyone's scared of Dave, everyone's scared of Greg. Let me tell you, the grass isn't greener on the other side. Never is.

The devil you know. You can ask anyone who worked close with Greg, with Dave. Ask Nicole Carroll, ask Nicole Christensen, ask Kariana. I can't remember. Ask Chuck Carswell, ask Todd Widman. Ask any of the people who like, like I got got footage of dave like fighting with chuck and todd at the games ask adrian bosman i seen him and dave go at it until like it's adrian's crying that's not that's not hyperbole like you know this water when it comes out of your ducks and shit

and ask i mean you won't hear fucking adrian say a fucking one bad thing about about dave i i do believe if you watch the behind the scenes at least one time and every year dave goes get the fucking thing out of my face and physically pushes your camera out of out of the way yeah and that's not show no no he's not he's not one for that and you know what i would do the story i would tell myself the first time it happened i was like oh my god that sucks what an asshole i'm just doing my job and then i flipped the script on that story i said yeah that makes some good footage that's some good shit when dave gets angry gotta get that once a year memorable i remembered it eric rose has told us all that he bought crossfit why did he lie to us why did he deceive us why

didn't he just tell us the truth i own three percent i own five percent i own two percent i own eighteen percent why doesn't he just tell us what's going on is it the same reason that they're trying to deceive us with this article from the morning chalk up in this follow-up video what is going on he's depressed he comes back he fires dave and now the water's dirty i'm just reading straight from my notes i'm like what did i really write this what's going on here He comes back, he fires Dave, and now the water's dirty. I'm just reading straight from my notes. I'm like, what? Did I really write this?

What's going on here? I mean, it sounds absurd when you read it that way, but that's actually what's happening. You know what I mean? That's like the literal. If I had the Khaleesi here instead of you and fucking Caleb, she'd be just throwing me fucking like alley-oops and shit. You fuckers just wait for me to fuck up they're trying to stir the athletes up they're trying to stir that they would love it if fucking katrin's daughter and patrick velner and god i mean uh uh weinstein would have his first erection in 10 years if fucking he could get

matt fraser to say come out and post like yeah dave's a dick why am i all blurry i don't know i just think i get you yeah back in focus even the camera's getting all worked that that's what they're doing yeah the camera's getting more game right yeah they're trying to change the narrative they had to put an end to it because it was surmounting with so much support for dave that they were in a scramble obviously so much in a scramble that andrew weinstein couldn't be found for comment yeah well he could comment that they had no comment but not as andrew weinstein right i mean i'm so glad you pointed that out that is fucking brilliant uh the miranda podcast really changed me for the better thank you you're welcome i'd love to know why hey how do you think that went down so he calls and he calls andrew of course and then he goes hey how she like what do you want to say

how do you want to do this and he goes say no comment and then he specifically probably tells him um and then don't put my name there or something like i mean that that's calculated right like yeah i would like to even take it one step further back and say let's go into the room that they were having the discussion of okay guys we're losing it here what do we need to do how do we change this narrative what's the spin we're going to take oh athlete safety yes yes yes yes yes athlete safety and dave doesn't want to collaborate that's right go watch the clydesdale podcast Let me tell you something, too, about Dave. You know, if you can't get it, it's your loss. I want to say that.

I know that's a little bratty. But if you can't get it, then you're never going to be around great people. I'm not going to take the time to spell it out right here but but but i mean we basically spelled it out already i've said it before you think it's easy being around fucking like just people who are at the top of their game it's not you think it's fun hanging out with joe rogan you think it's fun hanging out with matt fraser you think it's fun hanging out with d Rogan? You think it's fun hanging out with Matt Fraser? You think it's fun hanging out with Dave Castro? Did you ever see when Joe Rogan? It probably is.

and it's, yeah, you should definitely check it out after this, but they get talking about it, and he just goes, hey, man, I love you, and you're going to get hurt. You don't have what it takes, like on air. And how does Brendan Schwab take it? Not good. And he goes, dude, I'm just saying this because I love you, man,

and I think you're talented. I think you could have talent in other ways, and I think if you keep going in there with these guys, you're not a killer. You don't have that instinct. You will get hurt. Yeah. He also talked about it with brian callen they like after one fight he just got completely destroyed and then brian came into the the room afterwards and was like dude you can't keep doing this yeah i mean that's what it's like working with people that are high level that are gonna

that are truly your friend. Does Sevan know how to have fun? Do I know how to have fun. I don't know. I need to think about that. I don't know what that, I don't know what the fuck that means. Even I know how to have fun.

I'll tell you this man. Today I was just at the beach and I was just watching my boy skateboard and one of them one wheel and my nephew's there my nephew's like this giant fucking man like 16 17 no 18 year old kid and they're all just playing and i'm sitting there and i'm just like watching them move and skate and like hug each other and and one wheel and the waves are crashing and I'm just, I can't, I don't even know what I'm looking at. It's like everything I've ever wanted in life that I, that I never even knew I wanted. And this lady walks up and she goes,

that's the most beautiful site ever. And I go, pardon me. She goes, your kids. And I was like, Oh shit. Cause like that, I mean, I didn't hadn't even labeled it yet, but I was just like, it was cool. She's hot too. Yeah, it was cool. That is cool. But I don't know if that's fun. I really liked, like, I'm rowdy. Like, I haven't done it in a long time, but I would love to, like, get drunk with Sousa and Caleb and then just throw rocks at windows and break windows.

Like, I would love to just throw beer bottles at cars on the freeway. Like, I would just love to do that. Just have some drinks, go hang out down by the railroad tracks. Yeah, just fuck shit up. Push shopping carts in front of the train as it goes by and watch – Yeah, put M80s in people's mailboxes. And I don't do any of that, but I think all that's fun. So I don't know.

That's more mischievous. Kids don't do that now, man. Now they're in their masks and shit i like crank calling people i like you ever like just like shit in a bag and let it on fire and put it at somebody's doorstep i i had a friend who did that once and i watched that was crazy that was crazy and it worked the person came out and started stomping on it and it was the whole oh it's a nightmare yeah you got three boys man hold on tight yeah um but i'm good i'm getting kind of old like if they go in the backyard and they like pick fruit and they start throwing it i say dumb shit like

you know we need to eat that what are you doing that's food like i say and i'm like you suck oh man okay so you guys see what's going on do i can i go on to the dei thing yeah the one thing the oneI thing? And by businesses, I mean like these corporate type businesses that are always trying to project their, this certain image out in front work. I mean, everything down to the colors in their marketing and everything. So please know that there is a lot that goes into it. That is all. Peace and love. I started this with the damage you guys are doing to your own company is just crazy. You have to stop. You have to stop talking. You have to try to act normal.

You have to give up all the woke shit, the DEI shit. You have to stop thinking about metrics as happiness. If you run that company, I don't know who you're going to have run it now. I don't know if you're going to have Nicole do it or you're going to have Chuck Carswell or Lisa Ray lisa ray or um or uh hobart or maliolo like you gotta there's got to be some like or uh who's the guy out of salt lake city uh he holds the record for l1s now eric uh o'connor um uh todd widman like you better have someone who like even if they hated like greg like they got it like they now know like there's if they hated Greg, they got it. They now know. There's people who hated Greg, and you're in charge now, Eric, and now they're – people are like, oh shit, what did we do?

Like you're really fucking it up. You're rotting the soul of this thing. I wish I could be more articulate. I know the company doesn't have a soul. This was something that was so great. I know it can't last forever. I can't last forever. Shut up, someone.

It can't last forever. Well, I am having fun watching. I did have fun when Dave got fired, and I did enjoy those two podcasts kind of going wild. I felt a little dirty afterwards, but in the morning when I saw my numbers, I was cool with it. Okay. afterwards but but i in the morning when i saw my numbers i was cool with it um can you pull up the peter bogosian link that i um sent you caleb it just went to his profile though which one do you want yeah that's awesome can you pull that up yeah the peter you you motherfucker you're armenian and i'm armenian i've asked you to come on my podcast and you won't come on.

Oh, come on, Peter. He sends me nice stuff like I will in due time. You know, shit like that. Vague. So what we're going to talk about here is I was triggered. I was triggered when Rory McKernan, Mr. Beardo, weirdo Beardo. I was king of being triggered. Sorry, Rory McKernan, Mr. Beardo, weirdo, beardo. I was king of being triggered. Sorry, Rory.

I really told myself not to let any poop fall on you. Come on. Come on. I was watching Rory McKernan's interview of a very happy, smiley, redheaded lady named – we'll find out here in a minute. She has good skin. she's got a glow to her uh pretty and uh she looks a little nervous and rory um interviews her and says asks she's she's from the di council we can we can even go to the di website and look at all the um people on the di council and i have some good friends on the di council what do i mean good friends people

that i text with people i dm with people that I eat with people that I would have at my house. But I would, I more than I would have them in my house. Like I would, they could come to my house and I wouldn't acknowledge them. I would just watch UFC. Like that's when you know, you're my good friend. Like you just come in. I'm like, huh? Like there's a couple of people like that. I should not don't know if I should say their names. I like her. I don't know. I'm not their names i like her i i'm not

good friends with her but i really like her i've had none of the great jennifer marshall has been around for a long time jesus she's a stud yeah rock star i don't yeah uh keep i don't know who that is chandler smith uh met him once and then kind of we interact a little bit of wadapalooza over um cameras and over the camera and i want to have him on podcast, but he was concerned that it would disappoint like his mom or his grandmother because of my profanity, which I'm willing to. I think we want him over. I think we want him over.

But I'm willing to clean it up to have him on the podcast. By the way, this is an inclusion tab at CrossFit Inc. You know, Greg would never have done that. It was already. I mean, you could go back and look at all the videos in the past.

You go back and see videos like seven years ago and the people that they were highlighting in the communities that they were highlighting, it speaks for itself. Like people found CrossFit in 2018 and thought it started in 2018 and don't know how to use the YouTube channel. Like go back, click the videos, click it to start. When you go by release date, go to the early ones and start scanning down. And you will see that you guys, and especially you, Sivan, have been highlighting this years before it became the cool thing to do. I never chose someone for the color of their skin, but I did choose them for how nice I thought their body was. That's the truth. Well, they were also doing amazing things that you were highlighting so it wasn't about their color of skin it was about the character and what they were doing

and what they're bringing to the community and the video showed it the video and it just sucks that i go back and i'm like okay in 2009 the guy who took uh first place in the deadlift workout he was black and we did a piece on him and when i was in cookville we did a piece on elijah muhammad and he's it's just like so stupid yeah it's lost man i don't i don't want to i don't want to even play the game okay okay i'm not going there i'm reporting the news i'm a fucking high school journalist thank you mr wayne thank you uh athena perez i know her uh uh uh i don't want to say the best out of the bunch, but I would do anything for her. I admire the fuck out of her. Like she is a – if she called me, I would pick up the phone.

And I can't say that about a lot of people. Unfortunately. Sorry. I don't know Dylan King. I have a dream that a person not be judged by the color of their skin but how banging their body is. Oh, shit. I should have read that one in advance. Amy West.

I really like Amy West. Yeah. She's a a catch by the way someone someone fucking needs to marry her i don't know if she's married but she's awesome this is a super overachiever i really enjoyed hanging with her she was on the crossfit podcast too so cool uh puts her money where her mouth is like like like this is the girl okay sean ward don't know who he is doesn't even it looks like uh almost like a picture out of a i'll be nice to sean but it does look like a picture like that like one of those ones you buy uh we need a black man with a suit and there you go uh aaron camoyo i don't i don't know her i don't know her ah this is the lady miss m her. Ah, this is the lady, Ms. Mason Alberts. This is the lady who's, who spoke to her. Okay. Can we, can we, can we,

can we, oh, so, so, so this is the DEI council of CrossFit. I guarantee you, I apologize guys, that they probably haven't done shit. Diversity, equity, and inclusivity. I'm going to tell you what those things mean right now And trust me Like No one has No one who believes in inclusion Or equality

Not equity, equality Would ever have that link on their website This is fucking insanity And that will make sense to you As website this is fucking insanity and and that will make sense to you um uh um as uh as it goes on i do seven do you think chuck is bothered i think that as a crazy successful man i have no proof of this i have no proof of this i did a short documentary on Chuck Carswell. I went out, I met his family, hung out with his boy. I had a lot of very intimate conversations with Chuck.

We rolled together. And then of course I saw him everywhere for the 10 or 15 years I was with CrossFit Inc. Um, that I, of course I love Chuck. I think I, I, I gush when I see him. Um, I think that as a very powerful, strong man, he does not appreciate being compartmentalized into anything. Like he doesn't want to be a poster child for black dudes, for white dudes, for like – yeah, I think he's fucking annoyed at all. Get out and bother – yeah, I think he's fucking really pissed. Imagine like you're fucking saving the world and now someone wants to like stop you for something that's stupid because someone was triggered. But I don't know. But I don't know.

I don't know. That's a world-class gentleman. That's kind of a – he's a different kind of human being. I'm not really – I can't – I don't empathize with Chuck. He's – it's like he's like a pitcher and I'm just like a small little shot glass. I can't even – when I'm around him, my cup runneth over. I can't drink from the fountain of Chuck. There's a handful of those in the organization.

But the dangerous thing about that is if he is bothered and he is rotting, it's a mess. Like me, I'm a little shot glass. I just start rotting. It's okay. That's a big fucking corpse. That's a lot. That's a lot of presence and emotion and influence. Chuck Carswell is the greatest influencer in the world who's not on fucking Instagram.

How's that? And Chuck Carswell is the greatest influencer in the world who's not on fucking Instagram. How's that? I suspect that anyone – yeah. I think a lot of people, just about anyone who knows Chuck would do anything for him. And he has gotten none of it by kissing anyone's ass. Okay, so can you play the Peter Boghossian video? These are short videos. I apologize. I know you guys come here to listen to my beautiful voice, but I just

need you to listen to this verse video because we're going to define DEI for you here really quick. Will you play the diversity one? This is the D in DEI. Diversity. When the woke use the word diversity, they mean people who look different but think alike for example a diverse hiring pool would include people who look different but have nearly identical opinions about social cultural and political issues a black conservative for example

would not be a diverse candidate because even though a black conservative looks different from the majority group, he doesn't subscribe to the woke worldview. Ultimately, when you hear the word diversity, translate that as a desire for superficial differences while holding an identical worldview. So basically, you're hiring people based on the car they drive. We need someone who drives an Acura. We need someone who drives a Honda. we need someone who drives uh honda we need someone who has a truck we need someone and why do we need that well because we want the parking lot to look cool that's what diversity is it has nothing to do with the fact that you hire someone and they all have to think the same they all have to think the same. They all have to think the same. That's diversity for the woke people. That's what's going on. Not only, not only, and by the way, these are also the components of rotting souls. When you put human beings in this condition, this is what causes rotting souls. There's no entrepreneurship in this environment. There's no creativity. There's no love. This is prison life. This is prison life. Okay, let's go to equity. Equity. Equity means making up for past discrimination with current discrimination.

In an equitable system, certain individuals and groups must be discriminated against in order to make up for discrimination that other individuals and groups suffered in the past. Equity and equality do not mean the same thing. In fact, they're opposites. If a system is equitable, that means by definition, people are not treated equally. For example, if a company adopted an equitable employment system, that would mean they hire more women than men because women have faced significant past discrimination. So in an equitable system, the best candidate is not judged solely on the basis of merit or ability, but is judged on the basis of some characteristic like sex or sexual orientation or race. In an employment system that has equality as a core value, any characteristic other than merit does not factor into the hiring

process. In other words, if someone is gay or Native American, that would not play a role in whether or not they were hired. Equality means not being judged on immutable physical characteristics. It's crazy that this has to be fucking explained. It's crazy. Oh, here we go. Straight to inclusivity. We don't even get to comment on the other one. Inclusion. Equity is not equity is racism under the guise of that. You're doing something right.

It's so nuts. Okay, let's go. Inclusion. Thank you. What the woke mean by inclusion is restricting speech. Here's how it works. An inclusive space is a welcoming space. And who wouldn't want to create a welcoming space?

But to make people feel welcome, you have to make sure they are not offended. Because if they're offended, they'll no longer feel welcome. The best way to make sure people aren't offended is to exclude certain ideas. In order to exclude certain ideas, you have to make sure people don't say certain things, things that could make people feel unwelcome. So an inclusive space means an environment that restricts speech. You guys get it so it's a group of people who are not only racist they judge people by the color of their skin the way they look they're they're they want mind control their thought police you understand that right

so everyone has to think the same that's's the diversity. But they have to look different. And if anyone from past generations who look like you did something bad, then you have to be basically punished. That's the equity part. It almost seems like going back to an eye for an eye type thing. Oh, it's so tart's it's it's not it's fun it's so tarted so tart oh did you get triggered did you get triggered i said darted okay out of here yes 1984 okay can we can you can you put can you queue up the uh the dei lady for me uh marcia you guys um uh you guys back me in his room or something. Did you figure out what that is, Caleb?

Honestly, I think it's my computer. It's kind of overheated. It's really hot in this room right now. Okay. I have my door open. Part of me feels bad because this is just some lady with two kids, and she just doesn't know how to think, a part of me feels bad because because this is just some lady with two kids and like she i she just doesn't know how to think and she got sucked up into some power play of crossfit like all those

people there are being used by crossfit right they got the black guy they got the dude who had his penis turned inside out they got the um athena the heavy girl they got uh a lesbian they got like a they just they got everybody right they're Hey, look at this is our, and they're propping you guys up as puppets. And like, I, but I told you, man,

I told you the two things. Do not start a smear campaign on Dave. And shut the fuck up. And I can do this. I, I, we can keep doing this as my podcast grows bigger and bigger and your corpse rots more and more.

The only good thing in the, in the people's lives at crossfit hq right now is this podcast someone fucking like pointing out your insanity hey it was fine go ahead and let there be change fine venture capitalist owns it fine it's not about health anymore fine it's a you guys are just going to make money fine you're going to sell thorn fine you're going to be influenced by mount monster cool okay i think for a really long time it almost seemed like an echo chamber for crossfit you know like after the after media got cut and all that it almost just seemed like

the same people were saying the same stuff and nobody had anybody checking them until now and so now they've gotten oh you mean until this podcast correct oh well i'm just i i i hope my mom's watching and she appreciates how chill i'm being i'm trying to just be chill i feel like i'm wasting your guys time i could have said all this like in 40 minutes but it would have been just like ah and i'd been on my third cup of coffee and just fucking coming on no this is good this is good okay this is i'm trying something new i mean i'm in control of my own cockings if you're old school podcast you remember, but you gotta be old school. Tommy Rodriguez. Thank you.

Nice smile. It was a nice smile. Strong head. I bet she's like a PE teacher or runs like a police Academy or he does something where he, he, he's in charge of making other people strong. I believe it. Yeah. He looks like, you know how, like there's a lens of making other people strong. I believe it. Yeah, he looks like – you know how like there's a lens that makes other lenses or like there's machinery that makes – like a sharper knife that makes smaller knives? He's that dude.

A strong jawline. And for $9.99, I'll say something nice about you. Go ahead. Unbuyable. Oh, mama. Hey, mama. Hi, mama mama hi mama hi mama send my boys home send my boys hi rosemary send my boys home okay okay let's so so we know what dei is right uh guys my mom does not think like me do not like think like like uh

i'm very close to my mom maybe maybe closer that you know as close as my whole family like unit is very close i call my mom every day multiple times a day i bug her i'll just call her just to shoot the shit she'd be like what do you want like just but but we're not like my mom's not like this don't be like oh he must have just come from her and they must have some crazy conversations and blah blah blah blah i don't i don't know whose penis is inside out i just like to say that i don't know if i just like to say that like i just that's just like i just like thinking that like it's one of those funny things you know like there was a man that got turned into a woman or a woman got

turned into man i just i just like saying i don't know if any of that's true don't like the spirit of what i'm saying i don't know i don't know whose penis got that transition you're like talking about your family but it is cut too i don't know whose penis is inside there's this thing that my boys do that i forgot that i used to do as a little kid and i know all you boys out there did this and so if you're a woman you probably this is not going to make any sense to you. You probably should turn it off, all three of you. But there's this thing you do, like you'll just be sitting in the bathtub and you'll push your penis inside of you. Like you turn inside and then you move your finger and it like just, it's like, and it's this thing. I forgot that because I don't do that anymore.

I probably stopped when I was like six or seven. But yeah, Caleb knows what I'm talking about. And they just do it. And it's so crazy. I'm like, oh, there's, that's the disappearing penis thing. Like, you push it in, and then you, like, sit back, and it comes out again. It's so cool to see them. Like, I just have these flashbacks.

Oh, yeah, that's, like, one of the things. Oh, peekaboo. Yeah, peekaboo. Like, you push it in, and it comes up again. I don't ever remember not having, like, balls balls, though. You know what I mean? Like, they just have, like, these little, like, they're not even, like, I just feel like I've always had just, I'm sure I didn't ever remember not having like balls, balls though. You know what I mean? Like, like they just have like these little, like, they're not even like, I just feel like I've always had just, I'm sure I didn't.

Anyway, mom, I hope you weren't listening to that part. That part got a little squirmy. Yeah. Hopefully it froze for her. Um, okay. Uh, so, uh, yes. Okay. So, so let's, let's play a few minutes.

This is at Wadapalooza. Oh, yes. Okay. So let's play a few minutes. This is at Wadapalooza. This is Mason Alberts from the DEI Council and Rory McKernan from the Mayhem Empire. And I don't know why she's on the show. This is Mason Alberts from CrossFit's DEI Council. And first and foremost, welcome. Thank you. And then secondly, I got to know, what is the DEI Council? Yeah. So our goal is to get more people doing CrossFit. Oh, Mason, I'm so sorry. You have very clear eyes.

You're healthy. I love red hair. My wife has red hair. My girlfriend went to the junior prom, and senior ball with also had red hair. I but that first definition you gave is gave is what is the eye council and you say that it's to get people to do your goal is to get people to cross it. Maybe you should go listen to what Peter Bakosian said, because I don't think I heard him say anything about. Wait, who's this and just be clear too i mean she's just trying to do her thing it's not you know what i mean like we're not personally attacking her a little bit i appreciate you saying that suza it's just i mean there's no

good that's coming like personally attacking her right she was like she has this position she's trying to do the best she can clearly she was unprepared or just maybe a little bit nervous maybe not unprepared but she seemed a little bit nervous there and you know i don't know i'm trying to give her the benefit uh here's the thing do you remember what we talked about inclusion about how it's it's just basically it's it's it's the opposite of inclusion like it's a safe space but but you're not but but they want to control what you think and what you say because you can't say anything to offend anyone that's the thing like when i think of a safe space i think of just like it being a bunch of us who are totally responsible for our own happiness and i can say anything i could be like man suza

your posture is horrible what do you you look you have COVID. What the fuck are you doing? And you'll be like, you'll process that. You'll be like, well, there's a man over there that's obviously judging my posture. But it's a safe place for me to say it. That is not what they mean by inclusion. It means you can't say anything. Yes, you can't say anything. There's a chance it's going to offend somebody.

You're restricted in basically everything you say at that point. Yeah. Those are the people, by the way, who are who those are the creators of racism. You have to understand that that racism is an idea. Those people create it and then also enforce it. They enforce it. Because they enforce it with their story of being offended and you don't want to spend your whole life like tomorrow, all of us, including myself, let's give up one thing that triggered us so that we don't have to enforce it anymore. People cutting us off will no longer enforce the fact that that's offensive.

There's a freedom and a liberation. Okay, so she says that he asked her what is the DEI council, and she says it's wanting to get people to do CrossFit. More people. Let's go on. Communities that represent about half the population in the United States are not participating in CrossFit in significant numbers. Pause. And the council is having some hard conversations. So, I mean, this is just complete horseshit. She can't even, they can't even say what they really want to do because if they say what they really want to do, there's some things in there that might offend people, so they have to use this code word.

Look, the DEI council wants homosexuals, black dudes, dwarfs, people who want to have their penis turned inside out, all feel okay going to these gyms that we don't actually control but we sell out the affiliate agreement but we got this dei council and we're trying we're trying to make it so fat motherfuckers can come in but also like if you're black but but but but white people you're not so welcome if the black people don't want you there but i mean she can't say any of that But that's what she's talking about 50 she's talking about there's 50 of commute like why aren't you telling me suza meet me outside your house in 30 minutes I'm gonna have my car running. It's gonna be cold. So make sure you bring a jacket and jump in my car quick And bring the bullets You know exactly what we're doing like she said nothing to me right

there if there's 50 of the people aren't doing crossfit and there's of certain kinds of communities like like like super vague again well yeah why do i have to that's all dei is you're just bullshit you're just bullshit you you don just bullshit you're the opposite of Dave Castro you can't activate on shit and I'm okay with that but do it over here off to the side like and do you know why she's

like this because CrossFit's not worried about other more people doing CrossFit to be healthy she's worried about CrossFit in order to make money so you have to be as vague as possible so you can let in the most common denominator and right now it's effective to scare people around words like race and and sexism and all that shit and so those are the big bullies in the room and so that's kind of the the jargon they're going with. Carson Rancher,

Sevan's burning the castle down like a little bitter ex-wife. Susan and Caleb look like they want to get dropped off on the side of the highway while Sevan rushes the dead hooker's body to the quarry. I don't know, Carson. I don't know. That was interesting. Oh, geez. He used to work at CrossFit. He's an angry little man.

They fired him. But everything you're saying is still true regardless. I want to tell you something. There's those people, you know, who when Dave gets fired, I'm sure I get fired or someone gets fired and they send you the text message and they go, for every door that closes, there's a bigger and better one that opens. And you're like, get ready to check for my mortgage. But it's true. It is true. If you're a bad mo my mortgage. But it's true. It is true. If you're a bad mofo like me, it's true.

You got to get to work now. Yeah. Okay, let's go. Keep playing. Marsha, what's her name? Marsha? Mason. Mason, sorry.

You could be a Marsha. Okay, let's go. Mason. Miss Alberts. It's about how we can change that and how we can give tools to the affiliates to help them create the most inclusive environment and have some new faces walk in the door and try this sport. Sounds great. Pause. People kind of find. So coming from CrossFit HQ, we would like to give you tools that would attract homosexuals, black people, and Asians with dwarfism.

Yes. First up, put up your BLM sign. Second of all, oh, that's enough. You're on your way. I've had a lot of success with that over the years, and it came a long way before this DEI canceled. It's actually just called treating people good. I don't know. So it's actually just called treating people good.

I don't know. Dude, if the gym owner doesn't want fucking white dudes in there, then white dudes are going to know and they're not going to come in. If the gym owner doesn't want Jews in there, people are going to know. That's their fucking prerogative. What are you doing? Who gives a shit? If they don't want black people in there, go to another fucking gym. And the market will decide. Yes.

If you act like a piece of shit and kick people out of the gym or you do that, then you're probably not going to be around for very long. Someone just told me that their mom tried to go to a gym in Los Angeles, and the gym said they don't want people over 60. It's a CrossFit gym. They're not doing old people. Very inclusive to me. It's kind of crazy. We don't want any of you old motherfuckers in here. I'll teach anybody to squat.

I don't care who you are. If you got the Benjamins, bring it. I think a lot of it is like people see like a CrossFit gym and then they just have their own anxiety about going in to begin with. Yeah, I mean, they're just like, oh, well, I see all these white people in this gym. And so I'm not allowed or i can't go work out there kind of thing dude you're saying you're saying that's the that's what people think i i think it's a little bit of an assumption but yeah just so you know everyone thinks that like when i walk when when i walk into a when i go walk up to a bar and

everyone's six two i'm like well I'm not walking up to that bar. There's no room for me. Everyone thinks that. Everyone has a hangup. Everyone has a hangup. Look at all these women who are having shit injected into their chest to make their titties bigger. Like you don't think that's indicative of something weird going on with our society they're put make you unconscious and shave off a piece of your nose you don't think that's indicative of something weird in our society you don't think like like these people these women

getting botulism squirted into their face and they're saying it's preemptive against your your your wrinkles you don't think that's a like like this this this black thing or you're uncomfortable going in or it's all – like it's everyone and it's everywhere. And there's no fixing it by lying. There's no fixing it by lying by doing what Mason Alberts is doing, by putting on this fucking facade. Each person has to fix it themselves or it doesn't get fixed. And making it so that trying not to offend people is not okay. It doesn't work.

It doesn't work. You don't fight racism with racism and win and all of a sudden no one's racist no then every i guarantee you that what's happened in the last three years this anti-racism movement has made more people racist than not racist for sure it's back at the top of mind of everybody yeah no one knew that their checker um uh just like just like you know when the osama bin laden thing happened all of a sudden your checker at whole foods had a turban on and you're like, Oh shit. And you never noticed that before. Like it pops in.

Like no one knew that their checker at Whole Foods was a black dude until this shit happened. It was just a dude. Oh, Alan, man, you're a good dude. Alan knows how to get you, uh you slowed down a little bit there on a different subject.

I injected my scrotum with shitloads of Botox. I was part of an experiment, and it got all the dimples out of it. Now my balls don't look like a golf ball anymore. They're just smooth like a bowling ball. I'll send you a photo. I'll send you a photo i'll send you a photo sam hey if you've never if you've never if you've never been to a live birth you really need to attend a live birth if you want to see the most amazing thing ever speaking of things that

transform this taking the dimples out of the scrotum. If you want, if you see a woman's vagina when, when a baby's born, it will, it will, it blew my mind. I actually, after I saw it the first time, I couldn't wait till my wife had more kids. Cause I needed to see it again. I couldn't even believe what I saw. It's like staring at the grand Canyon. Like just one of those things. You're like, holy shit, is this real? And then you look away and you look back. You're like, you can't even believe it. What made me think of that is I had Miranda Alcarez on the show today. We were talking about the birth. It's, man, you got to see that.

Especially if it's your baby. It's nuts. The part about the baby, like, still being underwater for like 90 seconds or something like that. And it's, like's hard not to freak out but you realize it's still getting oxygen from the umbilical cord? You remember the Nirvana album cover?

Everybody panicked because the kid was underwater. It's like, dude, that's normal. That kid sued. Yeah, he did. What? Really? Yeah, he sued for child pornography or something. Did he win? Yeah, he did. What? Really? Yeah, he sued for like child pornography or something. Did he win?

I think he did. Brad, we already did all the Dave stuff. That's the first hour. Like that was the Dave stuff. Slide your little red thing all the way to the back. Really what I'm trying to tell you, and I'm just beating around the bush because I don't know why. Because I'm just like anxious to say it. I don't really want to say it. But the the vagina just looks like just like a pile of

flesh but but like like like a like a hamburger they got run over by a car sorry ladies and but when they have a baby it looks like a bowling ball like all those wrinkles and lips and everything gets just perfectly smooth and you see what all those things are for it's like a fucking accordion and they all kind of just layer up and line up and then they stretch and then the baby's head comes out and it's not even a vagina anymore i don't i can't take a call right now i'm talking about vagina it's mind-boggling you can't it does it is not a vagina anymore when the baby comes out it turns it's like um it's like the accordion's been completely opened it's no longer an accordion all every single divot and like fold is gone it's it's you have to see it i appreciate the call the attempt at the call

this is supposed to be a live call-in show i think it says live call-in show it says like calling but but i've been talking for an hour and 40 minutes yeah caleb and i called it we were the only callers tonight. Oh, this is who I confused with the Clydesdale lady, Jacqueline. Dave Landau, comedian, says it looks like someone kicked a hole in a pumpkin. It doesn't. It doesn't. It's so smooth and like – I just can't – you just have to see it. It's like when you make a fan as a kid and then you pull it open and it's just a sheet of paper, it's like that. No, I'm not calling.

No, no, no, no, no, no, I can't. I can't. I can't pick up right now, Mr. Lawrence. I can't. I cannot. I cannot. I think that's a fair rumor. I think that's totally fair.

I mean, I'm not going there to do that, but I think that's not accurate, but it's accurate. The spirit of what you're saying is right. Look what I found today in my drawer. I probably shouldn't be showing the number. It's my, oh, it expired. I never activated it. It was like my credit card when I worked at HQ, but I never, I just rolled, I just rolled with Greg and he did care of me. Like I was this little boy.

It must've been nice. Must've been nice. That's where I got this vest where I got the shirt. Actually, I think I paid for those glasses myself. It's microphone. Okay. Let's,

let's keep going. Sorry. We're never going to get through this. Sorry. Find information about this. What are your findings and your suggestions yeah so um we'll be uh there's a new um executive that's joined the crossfit hq team um elaine and she's working on a strategy what are your what are your solutions what are your suggestions and solutions and she says there's a new executive. Problem solved.

Oh my God. You fucking. Do you think they gave her talking points before this? Jackass. There's a new executive. Hey, how about you take down the sign that says I hate kikes out front for starters? How about that?

Suggestions. Well, we're going to give you. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. Do you think they gave talking points? Do you think they gave her talking points?

Do you remember when there her talking points? Do you remember when there was... Yes. No. Do you remember when there was this... Do you remember when there was that virus and everyone got scared and everything was shut down for a couple years and gyms couldn't be open? No. It happened in 2020 to

2023. It was crazy. It was so weird. It was like... The scary part is i think i'm still living with all those zombies hi dylan hi dylan bell and um and so during this time um there were some gyms that stood up for themselves and stayed open and they said fuck you to the man and then there was the ceo of crossfit inc and andrew weinstein who ran to the government we're like please give us money please we'll close our doors please give us money. Please. We'll close our doors. Please give us money.

And they hired more executives. Hmm. Hey, dear, dear, dear board of directors at CrossFit HQ. You bought the Hells Angels, but you think you bought Harley Davidson.

You think you bought a tour boat company, but you bought Greenpeace. You think you bought a whale watching cruise tour company, but you bought Greenpeace. Do you think that the members of the Hells Angels think it's cool that you bought them and are treating them like Harley Davidson? Do you think it's cool that you bought Greenpeace and you're selling tickets for a whale watching exhibition? Do you think the members on that boat think that? They hate you. both think that? They hate you. They're

turning into, their corpses are rotting in your... We're losing all the true believers, all the originals. Okay. Strategy to help

roll this out and really just give some tools to the boxes to help them with this outreach strategy. How'd you get tangled up? Pause. So the DEI council is to get more people to do CrossFit from 50 percent of communities that don't do crossfit and they're going to do that with a lady from charles schwab named elena moreno and she has a nice mexican name or something latinx and and that's what dei is hi thank you i'm mason alberts so nice right here okay marketing strategy i just summed it up i don't't fucking know. That's such a mess.

Okay. Good. Keep playing. I sure do. So, um, I started at CrossFit NYC and spent some time at CrossFit DC. And,

um, I can tell you those are two incredibly diverse communities. Pause. Pause. She said it. She stayed at NYC and Washington DC. Those are two totally diverse communities. Do you know what she means by diverse? They got the black guy.

They got the gay guy. But they all think the same. Don't think for a second. They don't all think the same. It's not diverse at all. It's not diverse at all. It's not diverse at all. If I showed you 30 of the same car, but they all had different stickers on them, would you think that that was pretty diverse? Nah, not a good simile.

She knows nothing about diversity. She's lying to herself. I get it. I used to be like that. I used to think Berkeley was the most diverse place on the planet. It ain't diverse worth a shit. You have to think the way they think. You have to.

And if you don't, it's not a safe space for you. But we have to make it a safe space for them. You know that. You know we have to make it a safe space for them. You know that, you know, we have to make it a safe space for them. We cannot let them trigger us. We cannot make our existence about hating them. Sorry. Go ahead. Go ahead. It wasn't, you know, I didn't see a red flag about this for a long time. And then obviously a conversation started more recently about these issues. And I was eager to, you know, share my experience where being a part of those two boxes,

I met some of the most incredible people from different backgrounds that I might never have connected with otherwise. And I just see CrossFit as a beautiful place. I wonder how many Trump supporters she met there. Go on. Go on. They were so diverse. Hey, you know what's diverse about them is

one of them, I hate to make it political, but one of them worked on the Biden campaign, one of them worked on the Hillary campaign, and one of them worked on the Booty Edge campaign. That's what was diverse about him. Go on. Lives to connect and share, you know, this really great fitness experience that we all love. Yeah, that's it.

Right. I mean, it's one thing that brings us all together, regardless of background, race, color, gender orientation. Pause. Pause. So did you see how Rory used the word gender? Sorry, Rory. And Bogosian used the word sex. Nobody who really understands and who is present ever uses the word gender unless they know exactly what they're talking about. It's sex. No one can – like someone like me, I don't even know what gender I am. No one can know – like why do you have a gender? Having a gender, think of it as just like a trigger word. Why do you have a gender? Why are you playing that game? Why do you need a gender?

Then that's just one more thing that like you're lying to yourself about. You're making up so that you – and then you have to defend that everywhere everywhere you go unless you can have it not defend it then kudos to you you are your sex you either have a penis or a vagina or you or or or you could not be but like i wonder if i could get rid of that phrase but like out of my vocabulary, but like, how about this kind of an event and the CrossFit games? Where does this stuff fit into what you're doing? Yeah. So we're not just working on, um, ethnic diversity and changing that we're, we're working to, um,

really make sure that adaptive athletes are represented and, um, have an excellent experience in CrossFit boxes and in competitions like this. And, um, I know what a Palooza is really where, um, thank you, Caleb. So people who are like, got like, I think adaptive athletes, that means like just people who like physically don't got all their shit together. Like they got like Parkinson's or they're missing an arm or I don't't know i don't know what what uh but what were the other what were the other thing we're not just we're not just what we're not just can you go back like 30 seconds is that possible or 15 seconds we're not just what you know this really great fitness experience that we all love

yeah that's it right i mean mean, it's one thing that brings me eager to, you know, share my experience where being a part of those. I think you're back far enough. No, no, you're back more. Plenty, plenty. It's plenty. Yeah. I was eager to, you know, share my experience where being a part of those two boxes, I met some of the most incredible people from different backgrounds that I might never have connected with otherwise. And I just see CrossFit as a beautiful place for people from different backgrounds, different walks of life to connect and share this really great fitness experience that we all love. Yeah, that's it, right? I mean, it's one thing that brings us all together regardless of background, race, color, gender, orientation. I love it.

So how about this kind of an event and the CrossFit Games? Where does this stuff fit into what you're doing? Yeah, so we're not just working on ethnic diversity and changing that. We're working to really make sure that adaptive athletes are represented and um what does she mean what does she mean we're not just working on ethnic diversity and changing that what what are you going to change about that what which which how what what yeah like what are they even doing i don't get it what i'm done with this fucking shit i'm getting about to fucking snap i don't even know why i thought this was a good idea this is just fucking horrible let's play them to the end and i'm not

going to interrupt anymore this is just fucking idiocy how the fuck are any of you on this fucking council so boxes and in competitions like this and um i know waterpalooza is really where um the adaptive uh athlete division started and um it's just taken off in such a huge way at the games. And, you know, it's just become core to this community to include them in everything that we do. That's awesome. I mean, if you've been around for a while, you've done the Open before, but the Open's coming up. I imagine you guys will use that perhaps to push some of these initiatives. That's right.

Yeah. We'll make sure that, you know, it's already been announced that there's some new divisions and, you know, we just want everyone to feel like they can participate. We're also working on initiatives to help larger bodied athletes feel comfortable going into a box and participating in the open. Masters athletes making sure like we're delivering the kind of programming that makes sense for them., yeah, I just want everybody to try CrossFit and love it. Hey, can you pause? Do you think, is there anyone fat in the audience now? Like, does it make you feel better that they called it larger bodied? Like, um, um, like, like I did a double, like, what if I went to,

what if I went to an optometrist and they had a section that said for – like they had some code for dude motherfuckers with big noses. I'd be like, what's that over there? Oh, it's for shapely faces. Shapely faces? What do you mean? They use 55 pounds. It's just the whole thing it's it's so it's so fake i'm sorry i'm sorry i can't even do this to mason she's she's not even like trying she's not even worthy but but this is i want to tie this back to the morning chalk up thing this is the whole thing this is andrew weinstein this is morning chalk up this is eric rosa this is the woke part you're a part of. I don't mean to shit on you. You're an affiliate. You pay money to these guys. The club you're in changed. I don't care if you're mad at Greg. Be mad at Greg for selling the company. I don't give a fuck. stay together. Did you guys ever read that book of – It's imploding.

Did you ever read the book about those guys, Shackleton? What's the book of the guys who go to – I bet you Colin Lawrence will spit it out. When they went to the North Pole? Yeah, yeah. Caleb's got it. And the boat gets stuck. It's a true story. By the way, if you haven't read this book, I actually listened to it as an audiobook. Endurance.

I knew it. You're a bad dude, Mr. Lawrence. I listened to this audiobook as I went to Antarctica. And basically there's a section in there, and it's so hard to even believe, but the boat freezes like in a – it freezes like just, I don't know, in a bay or somewhere. And slowly as it freezes more and more, the ice just keeps expanding and expanding. And basically, they're in the boat, and they're like, hey, this boat's not – it's's going to crush the boat the frozen river or whatever they're in is going to crush the boat and they and they start having to they got like 150 dogs on the boat and they're eating the dogs and they're going to have to leave their boat in the middle of the fucking north pole and i don't know what year this is like 1850 or the south pole i don't remember it's a mess the whole situation sounds so bad and it's a true

story it's so good it is the is one of the best books i've ever uh listened to yeah that logan mar says it's one of my favorite books it's it's absolutely antarctica it's absolutely you can't even believe it and recently i want to say in the last 10 or 20 years, they found some alcohol that those guys had buried there. But anyway, that's what's happening to CrossFit. It's like it's this boat that's like frozen in ice, and it's just like – and it's getting colder and colder. And this river and all the water around is freezing, and it's just like you can hear it screaming. You hear all the wood and floorboards and everything bending and you hear me on the side what did that guy say that i was a bitter ex-wife yelling oh shit you got my lawn chair out

got a good seat up in front let dave out it's um it's um you have to know that those guys at morning chalk up that this is all in in cahoots with it just smells like it's in cahoots with andrew weinstein over there if you're an affiliate if you want to know ask who andrew weinstein is ask what his fran time is ask him if he's ever lifted a weight ask him where he lives ask him why he's ahead of them oh i think they got a new i think they got a lady over there who comes from ways i i really hate to do this to you like this but it's the truth so whatever they they replaced me with a lady who came from ways the mapping app like traffic app makes sense why there's been no media i'm i'm i'm armenian do you understand that my people escaped a fucking genocide do you know how fucking ethnic i am my first language was armenian

you create the diversity yes i have brand value not like dave i'm not like a seal team six guy but i'm like but i got i got some brand value there was a comment in here that said like have the make what's great again guy on and i i want everybody kind of like realize the reason why a lot of the people that support a lot of the stuff aren't open to that conversation and are open to be able to have the discussion is because they have to surround themselves with like echo chambers and one of the coolest things that greg was putting on was the ddc and they would have doctors come in there and talk about these certain studies that they'd done and it was just a room full of doctors that just tried to

tear apart what they just said and it and it, it had a bunch of insightful conversation on there and stimulated a bunch of new ideas and, and things like that. And without having that discourse and without having somebody challenge your ideas, so you can continue to develop clarity on it, you don't really have anything. And so that's why they don't have people on to have that discussion because they don't want to challenge because there's nothing really there um uh uh uh lars i'm gonna get you a second what it what what inspired you to say that matt um someone said i think there was something in there about having the make what's great again guy on i don't um here's the thing we we would we would have to this we would have to I can only

I would only I just have to put this in perspective for you guys like the shtick I do here you have to understand that like in the really big scheme of things like the second like i hit disconnect from you guys and i and i start laughing with caleb and susan i'm like um you know that was a great show or thanks for being on or like you know um this hasn't happened yet but caleb pulls a bottle out that he's got full of piss that i suspect is under there. And when we do that, you have to understand, like, in that world, none of this shit even – yes, even phases me because, like, I have kids. And, like, as long as no one's hurting my kids, like, everything's fine.

Like, none of this stuff matters. Like, I really don't care what LeFranco does. I don't really care that Dave got fired. I really don't. I don't really care what LeFranco does. I don't really care that Dave got fired. I really don't – and so when I see someone – do I want to talk to the Make and debate someone on the merits of freedom of speech. That's the debate I'm going to bring a gun to. I'm not interested in debating that. And we've kind of come to that. These people, they're doing some real harm to society by creating and spreading racism. It's nuts.

I use racism, by the way, not like specifically racism, but just as the metaphor for judging people instead of working on themselves. After listening to this podcast, you realize how vanilla and kiss ass the other podcasts are. They're all afraid to say something that may keep them from getting by to see it. Yeah, that's, I mean, and I respect that. Like, like, like, you know, I mean, I don't know if respect's the right word. Lars, you said something about Elon Musk coming from MapQuest or something. The thing is this, like, I'm not dogging this chick coming from Waze. Cool kudos to her. I wish I fucking was like some cool silicon valley chick what i'm saying is

they're all just serial entrepreneurs they're like this is not a serial entrepreneurs serial executives there these are just serial executives they jump from one place to another their dei lady comes from charles swab like there's no one no one gives a shit like no one no one like how i told you like i don't care i give a shit a thousand i don't care and i care a million times more than them i'm at my fucking house it's 8 p.m i'm raging with you guys like i care i'm just here to troll seven thank you $1.99 appreciate do what you want be free be nice be nice to the women uh there was something on here about greg did he have to sell the company uh okay here we go seven did greg really have to sell could he not just have allowed certain

things to change with his hands off that would allow us to no he didn't know that he did not have to sell at all. I'm sorry. Standby. Stand. Are you taking a call? Probably a pretty important call, I guess. I think this is a first on the podcast here here usually you'd respond with a text that says podcast we got breaking news live on the seman matosian floor um

was that your mom or yeah yeah i cannot tell a lie. It was my mom. Not my mom. So it's his. It's his. So he could have kept it. Part of me wanted him to just be like when that chick from that fucking CrossFit gym that her boyfriend owned, like Unicorn CrossFit, it's the one that like – it's like the total like completely like we welcome all gays. We welcome all lesbiansians we welcome all transgenders it's like the most welcoming fucking gym ever it's in washington somewhere and then it says but you must be vaccinated to work out here i just fucking love it no what's her name is it alissa royce i don't want to say her name wrong because i don't want to like to anyway she's a complete nutter a few times i was forced to ask her um to write pieces for crossfit inc i think actually twice she reneged on her responsibility i don't know she's she's

a complete nutter she is she is bizarre and weird and uh she's the one that um posted that that where she basically accused greg of being um racist and he basically told her to fuck off and i wish he would have told all the affiliates that me personally i wish like when when when when that shit rolled out he would have been like fuck you you want to de-affiliate get the fuck out here and take katrin's dota with you and her fucking nude piece on her posing nude for espn take that shit with you and uh and uh but but he didn't and now he's rich as fuck and you know i'm doing podcasts trying to fucking milk this shit peace and love okay uh we did peter bogosossian we talked about the

Clydesdale podcast if you want to watch Dave oh no I have to pee we we did we talked about Lake Monona I think we did it all is there does anyone have anything to say

fun to like, to like sit by the campfire, drink some hot chocolate and bro out love on each other. That's going to be good Thursday, the 27th. And that's it. Kind of. I'm sure some other cool people will pop up. I don't know if I could get Tony buddy. No, I,

Something went sideways. Drama. Great podcast as always, Sevan. When is Greg Glassman coming on your show? That is a great question, and I would think very soon. Good night.
