Um, really quick.
Um, I want to see if, uh, if we can get Justin to cry,
just like a, like just a little bit of it.
Just a tiny, tiny, tiny sm Just a tiny smoochie.
It's going to be an emotional show.
It's so fucking crazy how good you are. It's fucking nuts.
Here we go.
Let's see what happens here. Let's see who won the games last
year.
Did Patrick
win?
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you our new male champion,
Justin Madero!
Hey, I love it how it's Dave's name on the screen,
even though Justin won.
Let's see if Justin gets his chyron.
Let's see if he gets a graphic.
Nope, no graphic for the champ.
At least you're still around, Justin. you're in control of your own fate around someone kicked that mexican to the curb
good time oh holy cow do you have any um do you have memory of that oh yeah no for sure i mean it took me a while like
i went back and watched the event but like it was so weird to like watch it because like
i knew what i was thinking like at each stage throughout that event and it was just like weird
to like kind of see it but yeah i remember that event very very well has anyone ever um uh sat
down with you like maybe the buttery bros or someone who some
someone is making i don't know uh telling a story about that and asked you to go through
every event have you ever done that sat down and gone through every event um crossfit kind of like
they're doing like a documentary for um this year's game so that was a while ago i think we
did a version of that just kind of talking about the
games but we kind of went through every event not in detail but just kind of like broad picture
is that out yet is that documentary out yet not that i know of oh what would that command
done someone rang the doorbell and they're hot and topless hey i wish i could say that was caleb just doing a sound effect
hey um are you are you in washington are you in uh iowa uh never been in iowa before but
where do you go to school idaho i that's what i said idaho close um you're in washington yep is school
over school's over i graduated in december so no shit congratulations done okay tell me what that
feels like like tell me what's the last class you were sitting in that kind of that ended
and you're like oh shit it's over just like my
my last like kinesiology class it was honestly weight training so that was nice yeah but yeah
it was it was honestly just like it was weird my last semester i didn't really um take i only had
four classes after the games but um yeah i just had those last four classes i moved back to boise after the games
and then kind of finished up school god you're so young i'm so old uh this is nuts so so you sat in
that class and you finished and then you you climbed onto that rooftop illegally exactly
that's awesome did anyone tell you to get down no surprisingly
no it was good ladies and gentlemen what makes this show different is is that you could actually
call in we're not gonna let you talk but we're gonna let you breathe let you listen to justin
madero uh madaris uh uh breathe that is how i'm saying it right. Medeiros, right? Yep. And all the, everyone else in the world says Medeiros, but they're wrong.
Yes.
Fuck.
I love that.
Love being the only one who's right.
Nice flex.
Nice flex.
Thank you.
And, um, and then, and so then you finish your last day and then, and then how long
before you do the graduation, you walk, you put on all the ceremonial gear.
I didn't do it.
No, that was just a
show that was all bullshit right there that was just costume yep my mom sent it to me and i took
those pictures to make her happy and uh yeah i was like on the way to the airport i like finished my
last class grabbed that grabbed my friend to go take the picture took the pictures and then
got in plane and and why and why not because you just got you have shit to do is that
the real reason uh just other things that i'd rather be doing you know i mean did you and did
you go back to stockton or did you go to washington um after i graduated i was still in boise i just
thought like that that weekend right when i graduated i went to uh see mars and heber and
them in salt Lake City.
So like I finished my last class, took the pictures, got on a plane and went there.
Instead of doing the graduation, you were making podium commercials.
Yeah, that's where I went right after that.
That's crazy.
That looks so much more fun.
Yeah, I would think you could do both.
I mean, I have the same sentiment as you.
Like, the graduation thing, like, doesn't interest me a lot.
Damn, you're strong.
Yes.
I always get nervous when someone calls in, Justin.
No, this, for some reason, that's someone calling on my phone,
but it came on to the show's phone.
Oh, that is weird.
When that happens, it doesn't happen very often.
Oh, let me see.
I just got a funny thing.
Justin, we are going to throw an event at the ranch in a year.
And you are.
Yes.
And it's going to be called the california hormone games there'll be no testing there so there'll be dudes just like twice your size
just like with fucking like veins like bigger than your penis like on their neck and their forehead
you're all in for that huh yeah how much prize money do we have to get for you to go to
that oh gosh dude that would be a lot what are the events is it like a cross-out game style
of memories see these roided out dudes just lift a bunch of weights i'm not so arrogant that i think
i could program it i would probably i have a friend who lives 11 miles down the street from me at the ranch that I would probably have programmed it for me.
That's funny.
No strength events.
Yeah, no strength events.
All cars.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's all running.
Hill runs.
Good.
I posted a – I took my boys to the mall,
two five-year-olds and a seven-year-old
and and they were like tripping they'd never been in the mall and they were tripping on the smells
and shit like that and uh and then they started just running laps in there to them it looked like
a track right because it's like all the shit in the center and then and so they just start running
laps in there and i'm laughing and people are filming them and i'm filming them and everyone's
in masks and my kids are running around barefoot anyway and your mom uh hit me up and she's like i didn't
take justin to the mall until he was 12 yeah seems about right you had no idea what that place was
you are country uh go ahead caller before before we find out about how little,
that Justin didn't even know that the earth was round until he was 16.
Go ahead.
Do you have a question for the champ, Fittest Man Alive?
Hey, Justin.
Yep, yep.
Hey, Justin, this is Alex.
Know us over in the street parking across the rumor mill.
Just wanted to see how everything was going with Ellie.
And I can't remember who that was. being across the rumor mill. I just want to see how it's going with Ellie. And, and it's like,
yeah,
he said,
he said,
I got to keep the guy.
And he hung up.
Oh,
I thought you hung up on him.
No,
no,
I should have.
I should have.
I'll try to examine some more,
but yeah.
Alex, sorry, your connection was so bad. What, the question go ahead write it down did you hear what he said
justin just said the first part okay about um how training with ellie's been at least that's what i
got out of it but yeah no it's been awesome ellie came right at the week after quarterfinals she
came up um kind of trained for like a week and then really liked
it kind of extended her stay and then she actually just left on friday to go back because she has to
compete at the torian in australia so she just she just went back to um because we're like two
weeks out now it's the first week of semifinals so so same weekend as the one I'm doing, Syndicate.
Which CrossFit gym are you at?
Me?
I'm at CrossFit Fort Vancouver.
CrossFit Fort Vancouver.
Been around forever.
Currently probably one of the top 50 oldest affiliates, I guess, in the world.
Yeah.
Home to the owner is Adam Neifer.
Neifer?
Neifer.
Oh, and the streak is over.
The streak is over.
The owner is Adam Neifer,
a great guy.
I love him.
Uh,
been a guest on the show a couple of times.
Um,
not enough for me to know his name.
Oh,
we do click,
uh,
Adam,
your coach and I click.
Um,
and,
and,
and so you've been training with him for how long?
Summer of 2019, I think.
I think that's when we started.
About May.
And the reason why you went to him, he obviously has a shit ton of games experience with the teams.
Yeah.
Yeah, he went to 10 consecutive games.
Nuts.
Wow.
And then you train in sort of like a silo over there there's no one else
there's not like um like you don't look to your left and you're training with uh uh fukowski or
or gee or there's there's no one there it's just you yeah no i mean i mean they have a lot of
awesome competitors that have competed on the team like throughout the years and everything
like that so there's always tons of people that I can go and throw down with, which is super awesome.
But no one that's been training for the games in recent years besides,
I mean, Ellie's been here for the past month,
and that's been like my first real dose of having a training partner
that's kind of like training for the same goal that I am.
And how did that happen?
Do you know her?
The only thing I know about her is she popped on my radar at Wadapalooza.
She crushed the first two events, right?
And we tried to interview her, and we had just a horrible connection, so the interview failed.
And I've heard Brian Friend talk about her as like, man, this is a really good athlete who deserves to go to the games.
about her is like man this is a really good athlete who deserves to go to the games but unfortunately she's in australia and it's like it's like the worst place to try to go to the
games right now out of if you're a female um it's that ellie right what's her last name is
what's her last name turner okay and so she just shows up there um well i've always like i mean
ever since the games this year i've really like kind of wanted a training partner but nothing that
like i'm gonna super like push for like if, the right fit kind of comes along, then,
uh, like we'll make it happen. But like, I've been like doing what I've been doing and it's
worked really well, but I think having like a female training partner would be super, uh,
like beneficial for me. Like I, there's no way I could compete with a competitive male.
Like that's just not how I function.
But the opportunity kind of came along with her.
She came out just to work out for the weekend.
She asked if she can come drop in.
And that's pretty much like all it was and kind of turned into more,
which has been pretty awesome.
Have you, have you ever, was she at the game?
She wasn't at the games last year.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, she was.
She was.
Did you talk to her at all there? Did you say hi to her? Did you know her there? Yeah. I asked her, I was like, ever was she at the game she wasn't at the games last year yeah yeah no she was she was did you
talk to her at all there did you say hi to her did you know her there yeah i i asked was i can't
know if you remember but i saw her at like great dang crossfit like a couple days before the game
she was just like working out outside so like me and like the just inside every crossfit gym that
whole week was just like a maniac in there so we were like working outside she was out there too
i talked to her probably for like five minutes then but like i felt super bad i didn't know who she was
at the time i was like hey you can meet at the games like you can meet this weekend on a team
like what are you doing individual and i got the whole story so i've known her since the games but
that was kind of my first time and could you give me the details of how she ends up there does she does she um text you or dm you or or dm or text
adam knifer the owner of crossfit or vancouver um like how does someone like get to can anyone
just be like hey knifer i'm seven i'm a toasting like to come up there and train with justin
pretty much man i mean shoot your shot you know
but uh no like yeah like we just got in touch hopped on a phone call with me and Adam and just kind of like talk to her, let her know what we're doing.
You're more than welcome to come up, train, see what we're up to.
And that was kind of the end of the conversation.
I mean, I've traveled around. I've gone and seen like I went to Rich.
I've gone across at Mayhem. I've gone and seen like i went to rich i've gone across at mayhem i've gone and seen matt
like i've kind of traveled around myself and uh she was one of the people that reached out and
kind of wanted to come train so um that was kind of like the extent of what i thought she said she's
headed back to uh uh australia and she was just right up north like five hours away in vancouver
canada not vancouver washington and then
so she kind of just popped got a flight down trained for the week and then uh ended up staying
a lot longer has anyone else ever done that have you ever trained with anyone else i mean in in at
crossfit fort vancouver uh no i've had anybody else uh i mean the invictus team in 2019 came out i think that was
i didn't make the games or anything that year but uh like that that whole crew like lauren fisher
reagan huckabee um dave came in but other than that i don't think anybody uh trina says any
flirting that's we're not there we're not there yet we're not i'll ask that in a little bit i'm I don't think anybody. Trina says any flirting.
We're not there.
We're not there yet.
We're not.
I'll ask that in a little bit.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
She's jumping.
She's jumping the gun a little bit.
When you find out when you find out someone's coming and you say yes on the phone, are you are you giddy? Like, like, you know, like in the third grade when there's a new kid in the class and you're like oh shit there's a new kid here this is kind of cool i wonder how they're gonna play
kickball or i wonder where they're from or you're just kind of excited there's a new kid it's a new
energy to the dynamic or are you like you know there's a lot of times like i'll agree to do
something like my wife be like let's go to this person's birthday party and it's two weeks out
i'm like great and then the night before she goes you know we're going to that birthday party
tomorrow i'm like no i don't want to go like i fucking hate you know what i mean it sounded like such a good idea when it's two
weeks oh yeah so the day before she's about to show up are you like what what did i agree to
yeah oh no no for sure i'm definitely like super nervous like obviously right away she
reached out like come on oh yeah heck yeah that's gonna be awesome like week after uh quarters like
i had obviously had a really good showing and then then I was like, this can be super fun.
And all of a sudden you start getting nervous.
I'm like, Frank, well, she's just been training with Pat.
Like she's going to be comparing me to him and like, just like all this stuff.
And then obviously it just spirals.
But it turned out to be like really, really awesome.
So as soon as she gets there, the ice is broken and you're chill.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We're good.
I felt so bad that we like picked her up from the airport.
And then Henshaw was coming into town. yeah yeah we're good i felt so bad that we like picked her up from the airport and then uh
henshaw was coming into town so i wanted to like do a little mile time trial so we went straight
from the airport to the track with her too yeah oh you're a dick yeah how was the flight we're
running them up and or go long like we told her when she got mckay like you can do your own
programming do what you want to do.
Feel free to hop in, like, whatever you want to hop in at.
But, like, this is what I got and this is what I'm going to do.
So, like, feel free to hop in for, like, whatever you want.
So, but, yeah, it was pretty funny.
I'm really super anxious that she's coming.
Oh, shit, oh, shit.
Oh, she's here?
Fucking straight to the airport to the track.
We'll run a mile.
Or time.
And Henshaw's going to be watching us yeah holy shit wow hey i bet you i bet you if we asked
her she was nervous shit i'm sure i'm sure did she do it too yeah no no she ran it it was awesome
too because she's from australia so like they don't run mild time trials like that's not a
thing like yes everyone here like oh yeah what's your mile time you have an answer like hers is
like a 1k and a 2k or like more like they're they're like i was like so she had no idea what
she was gonna like run for it so hey she'd be hard though so wow justin madaris the fittest man
alive and and and just basically just crushing everything feeling
how old are you uh 23 23 years old um and and rogue had that little event where you where you
peeled off another couple hundred thousand dollars huh
yeah you're a savage and and you didn't do wadapalooza no and you didn't do that one in
the desert where you had to run up the snow bank no the one in the desert yeah um and so so the
only events you do you do the rogue event and you do the the big one the the crossfit games one
uh i mean yeah no i i this off season i wanted uh i mean this was school and training and like been trying to like just qualify for the
CrossFit games over the last three years.
It's just been like a year round constant grind.
And I never really felt like I had like a true off season and I'm young,
my body can handle it, but like, I want to be here for, for a long time.
So I kind of wanted to pick one competition to kind of do,
and that was Rogue this off season.
So I trained for the game,
took some time off and then had a short little lead up,
like to kind of train for the,
for Rogue,
but turned out awesome.
I mean,
I told myself like Guadalupe was still like kind of on the board,
but after having like a really good showing at the Rogue,
I was just like,
okay,
like I've earned it.
You know,
like I'm going to take some time,
rest up the body,
like start training for the games next year
and not just keep trying to like,
you know, training for the games.
Then you train for Rogue.
Then you train for Wadakluza.
Then the opens there.
The next thing you know,
you're just sort of right back in the cycle.
You never had an off season.
So Justin Medeiros just said that he chose Rogue.
I'm going to push back on that just a little bit.
I'm going to say that Rogue chose him.
The great Bill Henninger called Justin Medeiros and said, Justin, I'd like to have you at the event.
Dude, it's like an awesome event.
I know it is.
I know it is.
I'm not saying that they twisted your arm, but I'm saying that Bill wouldn't take no for an answer.
It's like you want your own T-shirt. You're going to be. Is that true?
I heard I heard Bill one time offered offer. It is just a rumor.
But I heard Bill one time offered Rich Froning a pool.
He would build him a fucking pool at his house if he entered the games one more year.
And Rich didn't do it oh lord sure but man
i don't know i mean dude rich and uh that would be very interesting hey we um uh may and someone
watch the comments maybe someone will pop in and be like yeah that's true i'm pretty sure it is
true i have some good sources on that but but um um but does bill do does bill or katie henninger
give you your own personal call i mean you are the man and you're not just kind of the man like
it wasn't like oh you kind of won like you're the guy i mean no like i i talked to them i signed up
for the competition i mean i had text i like text with like katie and bill like they're they're
awesome i just went out there for the arnold and stuff too i mean that was the first time i've honestly been
to the rogue facility was just like a a couple or like during the open was uh was my first time
going to the rogue headquarters it was like it was nuts but they're just freaking awesome people
can't say enough good things about them they are truly awesome uh tell me what it's like being at the rogue facility
dude it's it's crazy honestly like they have their gift shop and everything like that that gym that's
insane there but they have like in the back with the warehouse with just all the equipment in it
is just like endless like it's the biggest where there's like a parking like lot inside of the
facility for like 50 forklifts like it's just
like insane how big it is and they have like their employee gym and that's where like i got to work
out and it's like just for their employees but it's like the nicest gym that literally has
everything in there it was uh it was just super cool and then plus being there during the arnold
like is that fitness fanatics from all over the world there. I mean, it was super cool.
Did you...
Open announcement.
Say that again?
And the open announcement was at Rogue headquarters too.
So it was just fun.
Did you get mobbed at the Arnold?
It was like, it fluctuated kind of like where I was at.
I mean, I did, like, me, Matt, and at i mean i did um like me matt um and stuff
like that did like uh what's it called like meet and greets like at the rogue booth there and
obviously there's tons of people coming up saying hi and stuff like that there but it wasn't like
like wadapalooza was like hard to kind of like walk around without getting noticed but there i
mean it was you got stopped by a couple people but you have fitness people that from like every realm of fitness so it was like super cool
it's kind of like be a part of it because i'm a fan and it's like you get to watch these insane
guys do like these crazy lifts and they have like a million other sports there's people in night
outfits fighting with swords and like oh shit oh they did have that there yeah they did have that there yeah that they had like pole dancing like as a sport there they had wow wow what's the fake
wrestling called a mind blanking right now wwe yeah they had like that there it was just insane
they had the most craziest events they had um there's like two people like hold on to a stick
and there's a board in between you try to pull the other person over the stick. I don't know if that's making sense.
How about that?
How about the one where you get slapped across the face?
They got that one.
Crazy.
It was so much fun.
Did you watch that one?
No,
I,
I was so,
I had a train,
so I went and trained,
but bars and Hebrew,
they're all there.
I got like slow-mo videos of it.
We're getting knocked out.
It was insane.
I'm surprised Mars didn't step in for that.
I could see him doing that.
Mars versus Heber.
It would be awesome.
It would be hilarious.
What was your mile time, Justin?
It was fast.
I knew it.
I fucking knew it.
Hey, that's why I didn't.
That's why I didn't, Keegan. That's why I didn't. I knew it. I mean, I just knew it i fucking knew it i hey that's why i didn't that's why i didn't keegan that's
why i didn't i knew it i mean i just knew it and and you know what i was actually going to be cool
about it i was going to be like you know i know i was going to like like give it a preface it
what'd you say matt give it a guess like we just get a guess at time no i was going to preface it
with like i you know i don't mean to pressure you but what was your mile? What do you think my mile time is?
What do I think it is?
Yeah, what do you think it is?
5.15.
Good guess.
If you were going as hard as you could.
I like it.
Yeah.
5.32.
5.15 is so fucking fast.
What's your mile time?
Mine?
Yeah.
I think my fat, I haven't run a mile in forever. I think my fastest was, I like sub eight i was like seven oh come on what is that bad i'm just telling you i'm just
telling you oh lord we got this comment too i wanted to uh thank juicy kid and the answer is
yes he's planning on beating everybody oh he doesn't even know who jason is he doesn't even know who jason is oh lord
uh uh uh justin justin dropped more trophies this year than jason's picked up in his life
okay yeah i i knew you weren't going to i knew you weren't going to um i knew you were i knew
you weren't going to say the mild time but i i tried to even kind of bully you into it i was
trying to be like extra assertive.
So tell me your mild time.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
You're too good.
Why not train with another boy?
You're like, nah, I can't do that.
No?
Why not?
Train with another male competitor, but they can't be training for individual at the CrossFit Games.
And why is that?
Like you're helping your competitor.
You're making it harder on yourself, you know?
Like that's pretty much the main reason.
And then plus, I mean, I think it goes both ways.
You can get like that false sense of hope
if you're training every day and beating them.
You're like, oh, heck yeah, like I'm super fit right now.
But then what if he wasn't going hard? And then you you go to competition you just get like slapped in the face or the flip side of
that is you're getting beat every day by him and like now your self-confidence like goes out the
window and you're just not like you don't got your head on straight and stuff like that at least like
train with the females like okay like if she beats me or i beat her like at the end of the day we're
not training or we're not competing against each other on the leaderboard so we can like help
each other out as much as we can and there's like real no consequence to it but you still get like
that competitive like feeling in the middle of the workout like you still want to brag you still
want to win so it's uh i think that's kind of been the best fit for me. Did you beat up on Ellie?
Obviously.
Oh, it's really good.
I mean, it's honestly a super fun training partner. Cause like her home run events are kind of some of the things that I feel like I need
to work on and like vice versa.
So I think that makes it like awesome to train with, you know,
did you know what you just said before you came into CrossFit so early when
we started talking you're like yeah I'd train with Rich I trained with Matt you you'd been around
did you ever train with Scott Pancheck did you ever train or any of the Pancheck brothers
no I've competed alongside them like before the games I competed with uh Saxon and Spencer
at um the Granite Games but never like went to their house or
their camper. Okay. So, so did you learn that training with Matt and rich just going to mayhem
or train with Matt? Like, Oh, this isn't really for me. Is that where you learned that? Or you
knew you knew that all along and you were just dabbling. Um, I mean, I want to learn as much
as I can. So like, I'm going to train with as many people, like, as I can, you know.
But you're not going to let him move into Fort Vancouver.
Forever.
I mean, if you've competed in sports, like, why are you going to help your competition?
So that's just something that I've always known.
I wonder, I'm trying to think if there's any other male games athletes.
I can't, no one pops in my head. Who's like that.
I guess Patrick trains by himself,
right?
Yeah.
I think Brent does too.
And Brent does too.
Yeah.
It was,
it was awesome sitting on the podium last year.
I mean,
all three of us,
I mean,
I think last year was the kind of the first time we saw all these,
uh,
athlete camps,
like popping up,
you know,
and then three guys that aren't in a camp.
I was like,
let's go.
That's yeah. that is awesome.
Is it, is it, um, do you, there's, there's just so much expectation on you now.
There's just like, you know, when people talk about the rankings, they never talk about you or Tia.
It's just like, you guys are just there.
Does that kind of suck i mean yeah i guess like i love being the underdog like i love when people doubt me i think that's like a speed off that you know and there's still no shortage of that going
around there's always there's always someone out there that's uh picking you apart saying it's a fluke just saying whatever it is right so there's always so much motivation that's out there but
yeah i mean i i love when people are like playing that game like i still love watching when people
are making the rankings like i want someone to put me in second third fourth have me not
qualifying for the games you know like i think right like so much fun how do you feel right now on a one to ten
fitness wise yeah just your body your health your overall your i feel so good i mean it's uh
it's honestly a huge confidence boost i mean i love in-person competition i feel like uh
that's kind of where it's at and i've always struggled like an online competition but
like you look at like matt like no matter what competition came up
like he was winning it doesn't matter if it's the open or regionals or whatever it was so like
that's something that i knew that i needed to work on like okay i can show up at these uh kind of
higher skill level like workouts but i need to be able to like work and like grind in the most
simplest of workouts so having my best finish like in the open this year
and then doing well in quarterfinals, man,
like still gets me fired up.
I mean, I'm just trying to be fitter than I was last year
and I'm checking those boxes.
So yeah, no, I'm excited.
That's awesome.
You are checking those boxes.
Yeah, that's crazy.
There's this guy, Andrew Hiller, who's kind of anointed himself as the head judge of the world.
Yes.
And he made a video about you and declared that you're not on steroids.
I saw that video.
I had so many people send it to me.
I'm like, all right, I got to watch.
It's going to be all bad.
You know, like I've like never heard before.
He probably hates crossfit like just watching this guy go down the spiel and i'm just listening but it's honestly a pretty cool video i mean everyone has their opinions
there's probably a million other videos out there people say that i'm on steroids so but when you
see that are you tripping at first you're like fuck do i do I hit play or not? Like what? Like, oh, sure. I'm like, yeah, like, you know, like me and my like roommates, whatever you want to call
them, son and Megan all sat down and we watched it together.
So it was pretty fun.
Do they fuck with you, too?
Like, do they jump off the couch and laugh or?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
They always give me hell.
Yeah.
There he is.
Oh, this guy. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, my goodness., there he is. Oh, this guy.
Yeah.
Oh, my goodness.
Look at that picture.
That's not nice.
Oh, you posted that, Justin?
I did post that.
Oh, my goodness.
Hey, Hiller should grow a mullet.
In honor.
I didn't watch. I'm trying to watch most of his videos. I can't remember if I didn't watch.
I'm trying to watch most of his videos.
I can't remember if I watched that one.
I think once I knew that he wasn't going to say you were on it, I wasn't interested in it.
I only wanted to watch it if he was going to accuse you of it.
I was really curious.
I wanted him to accuse me because I wanted to see what ground he had to stand on.
Right.
I didn't get it it was pretty it was a
pretty good video i guess um do you have a girlfriend now i do not you do not and um were
there any sparks between you and ellie there it is there it is i had to slide it in man yeah i mean
i'm just i don't care i'm just asking because the people
want to know i thought you're gonna go with the subtle like so what's the sleeping arrangement
like there is it the same bed you know oh no no uh no she's super fun to hang out with i mean
just like even when she first came like i think that was uh the thing that like made like all
the nerves come down that's just like things clicked really easy and it made like training super fun and i think i know i trained better like the happier that i am so
right like it worked out super well so there's some healthy tension there yeah healthy yeah
it's it's like it's like when you when you have like anthropology at seven in the morning and you
do not want to go but you know there's going to be some cool people pretty girls and so you go to the class and you're like all right obviously you hit that
bottom spot on yeah that's smart that's good that's healthy yeah motivate it's definitely
it's like having a new car in the driveway like you don't mind driving to work so much
exactly um anything um i know you're pretty protective about your um training well let me
ask you this first are you recording all of your training like in five years six years whenever down the road
are you gonna are we gonna know everything you did and probably i mean that's that's definitely
something that i want to uh do like after knowing the crossfit like i love you're doing this you're
journaling and stuff yeah yeah i mean not on mean, not on paper. I have it all online,
but,
but yeah,
no,
it definitely keep track of everything that were that like me,
Adam,
Jesse,
like our whole team.
We're working with Chris now too.
Um,
it's,
uh,
it's,
it's definitely really cool.
I think we're definitely doing some things different than everybody else,
but,
uh,
yeah,
that,
that time will come.
Do you have a talk with the
team too like when but who's jesse jesse he's uh my strength coach is uh jesse buffano he owns uh
squamish barbell in squamish and uh up in it's a little north of vancouver canada
but yeah i think you got you pulled up a picture earlier on my instagram it was me
adam and jesse um at the games in the hotel room but uh yeah that's been our uh kind of core team
this past like year and a half and then uh like working now with chris to just we literally just
start just now getting started with that but it's always fun yeah to add like kind of new layers on it yeah there he is there's all jesse buffano but yeah he's a long-term uh long-time affiliate owner i
think he's been an affiliate since 2009 he's been in cross it for like since 2000 i think he started
crossing like 2005 or something like that i mean he's uh he's been around for a while adam met him
at the 10-year affiliate gathering okay up in canada and i think they had
it in canada yeah and whistler yep yeah um do you have a talk with those guys like do people know
hey this hey welcome to the camp uh i'm very private please don't share this don't write a
book don't make posts don't take pictures like is there talk like like i tell um suza that all the time
when he comes over for our saturday night just drinking sessions like please don't take any
picture of me jumping on the couch naked shit like that i just don't post them i take yeah yeah
yeah i mean i think i think you're gonna know those like type of people when they come in like
you know that that's the type of oh no you're not oh no you're not really do one of these so so it's kind of like
well we had ben berger on the show and i and like he's so fucking thorough he's so fucking
impressive and thorough and then i'm like so do you have a steroid policy or jim he's like uh no
like shit i like i should you're right you know what i mean like yeah it's just a given he to him
it's just a given that no one would do steroids but it's just a given until someone does do it.
So, like, I'm just wondering, like, do you tell those guys like, hey, gentlemen, like.
But no, nothing formal. Maybe I wouldn't. Maybe Knifer does that looking out for you.
Hey, guys, just so you know, these are like.
I mean, me and Adam definitely have those talks like there's definitely people that like.
You definitely don't want to share that
information too and if that information gets out like it's not on them like what are you gonna do
tell them not to share is not that's gonna keep them from not sharing like they're planning on
sharing that information they're gonna share it no matter what you say so you're a good it's a
it's just kind of on yourself to kind of keep that like post your cards close to your chest and if you share it and it gets out that's on you so do you have any of this um uh mentality you've heard the story that matt tells about his medal
his second place medal was his worst medal and then it became his favorite medal because he um
used it as motivation and then through the 20 podcasts I did or 19 podcasts, whatever,
however many I did with Fraser, I began to notice a theme in his life that he always needs kind of
a nemesis. So even if it's not like a real one, he'll, he'll create one. Like he's like, he's
looking for someone who's upsetting him, even though maybe it's not, um, out there. Do you have any of that in you?
Like you're looking for some, something to, um, you know, agitate you.
Oh yeah, no, for sure. I mean, that's what, I mean, I think that's a, like a big part of like,
what like motivates you. And if you get in that competition, you have to kind of like lock in and
it's like, well, like, what are you telling yourself like in those moments, you know?
And, uh, I think that's always, I like to me, like, I'm always going to be an underdog
no matter like what people say, you know?
And that's just kind of like my mentality, no matter like what I go into.
So I think, uh, yeah, everyone kind of has those things that they kind of like have to
think about, like before they like get going, you know, would you have, would you start
a narrative up?
Let's say at the CrossFit games, you're standing on the starting line. It's about to start in 20 seconds. And would you tell yourself, like,
would you make up a story? Like if I don't win this event, then, um, I'm never going to have
a girlfriend the rest of my life. Or like, do you have like some sort of narrative? Like you
spin like that? Um, I mean, honestly, it's not, uh, kind of something that comes in the middle
of the workout. It's kind of like, uh,, like when you start to hurt, start to get bad,
you kind of like you have to talk yourself back into it, you know?
And I think that's kind of when those conversations kind of come into the head.
Because if you're already doubting yourself before you start the workout,
I mean, you're in trouble, you know?
So you're side by side with velner you're doing lunges
and will the voice say don't be a fucking pussy or is it you're the greatest ever which like and
and like which one is it the first one for the first one yeah yeah isn't it interesting people
always talking about this positive self-talk and i'm always like shit i'm always like spinning up
like some shit that's like dark yeah you know like hey like if you don't fucking you're awesome you can do this yeah yeah i'm like i'm like on the assault bike
and i'm like if i don't get 120 calories in fucking 10 minutes my wife's gonna divorce me
like that's the story i tell myself just make some crazy shit yeah like she can't fucking leave
i'm gonna die alone i don't even know how to wipe my own ass like this is why I need someone so
positive like Adam you know like I have all these like talking talking so bad to myself inside my
head and then you have Adam out there it's just the happiest guy ever so it's a good balance you
know um are you keeping um a intimate relationship at distance on purpose? What do you mean? Um, you, you know, like a, a boyfriend or
a girlfriend, are you keeping that at distance for a reason? Are you, are you protective of,
of the mission you're on and there's no room for anyone besides Adam, Adam Knifer?
Um, like to an extent, you know, like I'm definitely like, I know like that is going to
take a lot of like time and
energy kind of away from uh like what i'm trying to do and um i told myself in the next like five
six seven eight years that i want to do this like uh like this is going to be my number one priority
so if i do happen to get into a relationship like that like that's going to be known you know but
not anything that i'm like looking for like if it comes along it's not like i'm going to be known. But not anything that I'm looking for.
If it comes along, it's not like I'm going to be like,
nope, no way.
But if the right situation kind of came along,
I guess I'd be open to it.
I had Nicky Rodriguez on the show,
and he told me that alphas don't chase women.
Do you know who Nicky Rod is?
Uh-uh.
Oh, I'll send you some videos.
He's so dope. He has the most famous most famous jujitsu team in the world right now in Austin. It's called B Team. And he's he's just this big, just he's such a stud like you. Just a stud. There he is. Nicky Rod. Yeah. I'm like, dude like dude i'm like how do you stay away from girls

No, other than, like you said, he likes to be the underdog,

It's amazing.
You think he's going to win this year?
Yeah. Wrong answer. You're supposed to say stomping everybody. It's amazing. You think he's going to win this year? Yeah.
Wrong answer.
You're supposed to say, fuck no.
He's washed up.
I know because when Rowe came around, I'm like, I don't know.
He just made everybody look bad.
Dude, those last three events at the game, he proved it all.

Paper Street Coffee. Yes, thank you. I'm so excited about the – by the way, Miranda and Julian Alcarez are coming on the show.
They are the founders of street parking. They may be the largest business besides Rogue to break out of the – to grow out of the CrossFit ecosystem.
It's,
it's,
it's,
it's,
it's really crazy.
It's,
it's awesome.
Oh,
look,
there she is.
Yeah.
Hi.
Oh,
Julian got so young and cute.
I read last time I saw him,
he's a grown ass man,
all buff and shit.
That's seven. And that's Matt. and cute. Last time I saw him, he's a grown-ass man all buff and shit. Mono,
that's Sevan, and that's Matt.
Hey, I like it how you have a Spanish.
Were you just teaching him Spanish?
You're using a Spanish accent.
Yeah, so my brother's really sick,
so we're going to go to the zoo tomorrow.
To the zoo tomorrow?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's where I go when I'm sick, too.
I almost got canceled for that.
When I told people I had COVID, I just went about my daily life.
People didn't like that so much.
Okay, I got to go play my Legos now.
I'm going to go play my Legos.
Peace out.
Bye, buddy.
When you make something, bring it over here and show them because they want to see it.
Okay, go make something and then bring it back.
Yeah.
Oh, now I hear a deep voice.
Is Julian coming in?
Yeah, he brought the Legos.
Julian and Miranda, or as Dave calls him, Julian.
I know.
What is that about?
It's like he hasn't been able to figure it out in like seven years.
We got to revoke his fucking Mexican card.
Just go over to his house and just take it.
No, sorry.
I mean, one of the things I'll say is, you know,
if I'm going to be close to somebody, then, you know, I tell him Julian.
But if it's like a barista or somebody that I give my name to,
to put my name on a drink.
Yeah.
Like it's Julian.
So we got to clear things up.
He's got to understand that we're trying to hit the friendship, you know.
He loves you.
I remember when you were testing the events for the CrossFit Games down in, was it Encinitas?
Yes.
Yeah.
And I remember it was when i was like hating on
you and he's like nah this this yeah because you were avoiding him yeah and i he and he's like nah
this hooligan guy's cool he's cool as shit i'm like what dave didn't like nobody
so so so you want him over he definitely should be calling you hooligan so july
third second and third tell tell me what is going on.
For those of you who don't know, Miranda and Julian are the founders of street parking.
And I know you guys all know what street parking is. And if you don't know, maybe I'll ask him what it is in just a minute.
But but tell me about this. Look at look at sometimes people post bats when you're guys around.
People post keys. shit oh shit it's
calling it really is a calling you know i think um we're proud of our community how they really
rally behind things you know it's pretty special um we you know the amount of members that have
tattoos of keys now is has has gone past at least 10 wow wow i remember some some shit got a a tdc tattoo once like like
his logo i was like wow what you got 10 yeah we do and it at first it was really weird because
we're like oh my gosh like what if we go bankrupt like i don't want that
you know what if what if we switch to pilates yeah you know and but the more and more like we're around
and like seeing how many people really are bought in deeply to what has been created it's just uh
it is an honor at this point i mean i have a key tattoo on my forearm as well because can i see
yeah it's just uh oh dope that's awesome yeah so you know it's life-changing so at the end of the
day no matter what street parking already like changed our lives whether it's you know around
for 20 30 years or not you know it's put us an opportunity where we are now so it's staple for
sure and what's going on at the ranch on july 2nd and 3rd and And why did you guys choose the ranch? Yeah. Show them.
Show them.
It's another tower.
Nice.
Wow.
That's a first.
It's an original creation.
That's an NFT that will be sold for $30 million.
Check out my NFT account at Seva Matosi and NFTs.
Thank you.
I was not at the original 2007 CrossFit Games, but I was there in 2008 and 2009. And the vibes were just so awesome.
And it's so much of what I feel street parking has now.
Like I rolled up to the CrossFit Games in 2008 and you just like sign up, right?
You're just like, oh yeah.
And they're like, cool, you're in D4 or whatever.
And everybody's doing the workouts, but they're in different order.
And yeah, you got to choose your order.
Remember that shit? Yeah. And you're getting like burned by the mats and like there
was dirt everywhere and snakes everywhere. And, um, dogs running into the, into the event.
I'm not like selling this event very well right now, but, um, it's not, it's not that that's not
what we're doing, but, um, it was just such like a family barbecue, get together,
hang out, meet people that are on the same wavelength as you. And, um, and then I did a
bunch of seminars there, obviously when I was working for the seminar team and, uh, it just
seemed like a cool opportunity and a cool venue because it's a place that a lot of people are
interested in going to see. And it's not available.
Like you can't just roll up there and go see it anytime. So I, when,
when Dave was not with CrossFit anymore I guess maybe I took advantage of our,
of our friendship and him not having something to do for a few weeks.
And I was like, Hey man, can we come use your, use your spot?
And he was into it. So
Dave, I know you were making, um, $40,000 a month while working for CrossFit. We will
drop one of those O's and give you $4,000 to use the ranch for the weekend.
And he's like, thank you. Thank you. No. And, um, you know know it's just a cool it was cool it was it was honestly like it it blew up
bigger than we expected it to like it was more just like hey we haven't done a meetup in california
for a while this is a cool spot dave's cool and can we use your place basically and he was he was
into it and then people got really excited about it um and so yeah i i did a post on my instagram
the other day it's not a competition like every couple hours the workout or the event that will
be going on on like the main area right in front of the big door will change if you want to do all
of them you can do all of them if you want to do none or one or whatever we're going to do
a cool like ruck that he's going to clear the, I guess it's like a three mile loop that they did at the games in 2020.
Yeah.
And we're going to take people on that.
And we're going to do some cool stuff with like,
we've got like 25 assault bikes and 25 rowers that we're going to be setting
up one morning for like a team, like endurance thing.
But then also we've got, you know, a slip and slide and we've got,
a DJ coming that'll be there all day long
and just games and a place to hang out and dave's big thing is he wants to play knockout oh yeah
for sure that's it's gonna be nuts um will you play caleb could you there's a video she made
where she talks about um it's not a competition. Can you pull that up?
I think it was on her.
I think this is an important part.
You're pretty emphatic about it here.
Watch my video.
Real quick, because tickets for the public to come to the meetup Fitness Freedom on July 3rd at Dave Castro's Ranch. Go on sale tomorrow. And I want
to give you a little insight on what to expect at a street parking meetup like this one. Number one,
most important thing, this is not a competition. You do not have to be a certain fitness level
to participate. There are no judges that will be judging your movement. Okay. It's all about
having a good time. There will be tons of different ways that
you can participate, workouts, fun toys that Dave has there at the ranch that you can play with,
like the big bobs and the worms and things like that. There will be vendors there, food, music.
We got a slip and slide going, places for you to hang out. It's all about celebrating that fitness
is for everyone and that it's not a one-size-fits-all thing.
It's our belief within street parking, and we would love to have you come check it out and see what we're all about.
Hey, guys.
Just make sure.
That's awesome.
I muted Miranda and Julian.
They're back.
I'm going for sure.
I'm stoked that it's only 11 miles from my house.
I'm stoked.
Suze is going.
That was – that's – I wonder if – what's that girl's name? Is her name Denise?
She's, she's frequently listens to the show. I wonder if she's a street parking member.
Did you recognize her? That girl who said I bought a ticket? Oh, I didn't see that pop up.
I don't know. I mean, we have sold, so we opened it up to street parking members first a couple
weeks ago. And the S so Saturday is just for street parking members and guests, like anyone that they bring with them, which is typically how we do our meetups.
This is not the first big meetup that we've done. We did a summer camp in 2019.
We've done Vegas twice and we did.
They just got back from Jacksonville, which that was like with the Go Ruck crew at the Sand Jacks event. Um, but yeah, usually we don't open it up to the public at all. We usually it's just
street parking members. So Saturday is just street parking members and guests, and that sold out
within a couple hours. Um, a hundred people that are coming to that. And then, um, where are those
people going to stay? Are people sleeping there in tents? So 42 people purchased camping, which I think we capped at 50.
Dave told us to cap it at 50.
And then everybody else has been just like going to hotels and Airbnbs and all that kind of stuff.
Wow.
Man, the people who are camping there are going to be stoked.
Yeah.
I mean, we got some good porta potties for them with showers and stuff like that
it's a good spot i i came up there a bunch during the games 2008 2009 games i slept in a motorhome
there and tons of people were in tents in motorhomes it's crazy it's a great spot yeah
wow okay and then what happened who can come on the third that's the day like anyone
and it's basically just a party and you can come there and work out.
Will there be will there be alcoholic adult beverages there?
Yeah. So we've got some food trucks coming.
So instead of us trying to like, you know, cook and everything like that, we just we hired a couple of food trucks that are going to roll up on Sunday morning.
We're going to do that three mile mile rock and anybody can come to that.
And then we have a breakfast podium is sponsoring, you know,
the pancake breakfast both days. Wow. And then after that, like I said,
there'll be like rotating stuff that's going on every couple hours,
it'll change and there'll be the knockout going and the slip and slide and the
music and just hanging out. But yeah, anybody can come to that.
Is Mac going to be there? Is Fraser coming to the, to the ranch to make pancakes not that I know of so one of the
things like when we part first of all we're part of with podium we did it it wasn't even based off
of like who's a part of it it was more of like I met Paul and I thought Paul was a good dude
who's Paul Paul's one of the owners of podium okay yeah one of the things that I told him
he was like who do you want me to bring I was like you and your company just so because it's your product that we're trying to share you know um
because at the end of the day like you know our community we want to make sure that like our
members are more of like the celebrities within the community it's not really you know oh we're
gonna bring this person we're gonna bring this person it's like yeah so i don't know if they're
gonna be there or not but it wasn't thrown out there at all because that's just not really how we don't care um but
it's interesting you say that because the location is so iconic yeah i mean it's it's not a person
obviously but it is an iconic location and i guess location matt i mean like you did in vegas that's
an iconic location also are you surprised that so many people are coming because it is off the beaten path a little bit?
No.
So when we did summer camp back in 2019 and our membership has grown exponentially since then, obviously with the shutdowns and everything, we sold out of that.
We had like 300 people sleeping in bunk beds at a kid's summer camp for like three nights, bringing their families and everything.
And that was like a couple of years ago.
So we knew we know how excited our members get.
Anytime we do, you know, a big a big meet up and a big get together.
We've got people flying from all over the place that are going to come.
i'm pumped uh to see your event because i really want to throw an event there uh like probably like six months after your event and it's going to be called the california
hormones games and it's going to be the crossfit games but with no testing where people will be
be scrutinized they'll be the exact judged and scrutinized and instead of instead and divisive
instead of uh instead of a community event and just egos everywhere oh yeah biggest and most
massive egos and people don't want to talk to each other or make friends with each other at all
maybe maybe the street parking vibe will be so good those guys will just show up there those
guys and gals and just turn into marshmallows just be like oh
um was this something that you knew when you when it popped in your head did you think it
was realistic you and um julian think it was realistic to get um uh that venue for the event
yeah uh i mean me and dave are pretty close and julian like
you said he loves julian so yeah we had been we had been talking a little bit about what was going
on with his life before i brought that up like it wasn't like i haven't talked to you for two years
let me just ask you if i can come use your house right we had been oh my goodness we got a massive tower
coming in here guys every kid needs a massive tower let's see this is our second nft it won't
even get in the screen what is it it's kind of like a hat it's a hat but it's not kind of like
a tower oh it's not yeah a big a big tall hat okay go make another one
i love it when my kids draw a picture of their mom and i think it's a picture of me or vice versa
or it's like a potato but i think it's me like oh you drew a picture of me they're like no that's a
potato oh my god um miranda what is street parking um street parking is a no-nonsense.
I'm going to give you like our mission statement.
I'm going to try to remember it off the top of my head.
It's a no-nonsense authentic fitness community committed to providing real people the tools they need to take control of their fitness.
Okay.
What does no- mean um we're not gonna try to
upsell you on stuff that you don't need so that we can make more money so peloton
okay we're not gonna yeah we're not gonna put our trainers in glittery makeup and have tell
them to be over the top and pretend to be something that they're not so that it gets more likes on instagram um it's it's interesting uh i was talking with uh caleb and matt um
yesterday and i was like this podcast is nothing about this podcast is serious and it's the most
it's what i i take it more serious than anything in my life besides my kids nothing about it is serious but
it is the most fucking serious thing in my fucking life and it's fucking really serious and so when i
heard that it's no nonsense i know it's it's there's a paradox there because on one hand it
isn't it's like no nonsense come here and it's a fucking community and get healthy and embrace your
peers and and like let's lift each other up but But, but then you also say, Hey, no one's there to judge your movements. Right. You don't have to work out.
Yeah. I think, you know, one of the things we're always very transparent with the community is just
fitness is only one piece of the puzzle. You know, like if you think, you know,
your life's going to change this with fitness alone, then that's, that's not true. Right.
You know, you got to balance it
out with, you know, the nutrition, your lifestyle. And I think that's why we do show, you know,
our family a lot within our community just and share that as, because it's growing as well as
the street parking businesses, you know, I mean, so, and that's the reality of it is, right?
We always tell our members, like, look, we go live and we show how chaotic it is to try to
work out with kids. It's not always, let me capture this 15 second to 30 second clip of them
finally picking up their barbell and doing something. And then let me just share this
with you. It's chaotic, right? And, you know, making sure that they don't always
really attach it to performance. It's like movement. You just keep moving, keep going,
stay consistent. And we're going to be through that through all stages of the members lives
pretty much. Right. Because we get it. And the interesting thing is, I think
when I say we're not going to judge your movement, it's we're not we're not we're not going to no rep each other's videos on the Facebook group.
We're not going to call people out for, you know, if somebody hasn't worked out for six years and they feel comfortable enough, even though they're super chubby or whatever, to post something on the Facebook group.
The last thing they need is somebody saying like, oh, your wall ball target looks a little low or something like that.
You know what I mean? Right. And we don't have a leaderboard for that reason because then people start bickering and saying like who's this guy
and i bet he wasn't even doing this or that or it looks like his box was only 22 inches and not 24
and it becomes about nonsense basically and we do celebrate consistency though like we have so many
trackers our third n NFT of the day.
To celebrate consistency.
So on our platform, on our app, they can earn badges for all sorts of things, but none of them are ever around performance.
They're all around showing up and just being consistent.
And whether that's at the foot of your bed or you're in a really fancy, nice gym or whatever.
We're not going to sell you toe spacers if you haven't worked out for six years.
Like, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with toe spacers, but like.
You watch out. I'm getting ready to do a Loveline show with Danielle Brannon.
You be nice, Miranda. I'm getting ready to do a Loveline show with that girl. You know, like if they're worried about toe spacers and they still haven't actually
gotten three weeks worth of consistency
in, then we need to take it back a few steps.
I feel like the fitness industry
is really good at
selling you things you don't need
long before you'll ever need them.
Maybe you never will. I've never
used a toe spacer and I'm okay.
You're placing the incentive on the right things.
You're placing the incentive on the right thing. It's about just celebrating them doing
the work, regardless of the circumstances. There's our fourth one. Tell them.
Julian, what were you going to say? I think one of the things that's helped us out a lot
in general has been able to, the fact that both Miranda and I have both been there at the top
level. And, and so if anybody ever questions kind of where
we're coming from, it's easy for us to speak from experience. I mean, like, look, like it,
that's not necessary. Let's strip, strip away all the things that now work even for us now as
parents, as we have a family and look at the consistency, even in our journey as parents,
as business owners, we still prioritize
our health and fitness, right? And simplifying that to a point that is attainable for the everyday
person. Obviously, we both know how to turn it on and be able to reach a level of intensity that
is extremely effective to be able to maintain a certain aesthetic or a
certain result. But, you know, the biggest message for us is just showing people what consistency
truly looks like. You know, I've seen some athletes and it's kind of sad that fallen off
that were competitors and they just, you can't even recognize them. You're like, like what who is this like who who who and and because they've also reached out and
they've expressed how much they've appreciated and they're our part of the program now they're like
this is so sustainable for us you know and um and i think the fact that like i said moran and i have
been there it gives a level of comfort for all levels of individuals. So it's been great. Maybe Hip and Steel thought
he was doing a street parking event.
He didn't realize he was competing
at the CrossFit Games.
I don't know if you're following
the drama around him.
The only reason that I know about that,
and actually I was going to bring this up
as he was speaking,
is we do have people in our community
that are still not high level competitors,
but people who are interested
in local competitions
or who do the Open.
And then we had a bunch of people who did whatever the stage was after the open. See,
I don't even know. And we can give them advice too, like how to attack workouts or what, what of our programming they can use to improve their weaknesses and things like that. So we do
have people in the community like that. The reason that I know about the hip and still thing is because there's actually like a subgroup within street parking.
That's unofficial.
Unofficial street parking,
CrossFit chit chat.
And they talk about all things CrossFit and they are still super in it.
And I'm in that group.
Cause I want to see what they're talking about.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Comment or say anything very often.
This poor guy.
This poor guy is a stud.
He's the fucking greatest fucking old man CrossFitter who ever fucking lived.
But he turned in this video this year, and it's a fucking mess.
I think it was a deadlift, right?
Or like something.
No, it's everything.
The clean was wrong.
The muscle-ups were wrong.
He did a – instead of doing box step ups were wrong he did a he did a he did a uh uh uh uh
he instead of doing box step ups he did pistols and the pistols weren't deep enough i mean
he did overhead squats and the bar was touching his head the whole thing was a fucking shit i
mean it was a shitload of work and a crazy effort yeah but he finished in first place and everything
is wrong the burpee sometimes his chest wasn't touching the ground but i mean if he was a street parking guy he'd be a fucking king yeah we'd be like you know what
fitness yeah what you want yeah look at this the workout the workout step ups and he's doing like
it's a fucking mess hey in his defense crossfit put some weird wording about the pistol yes they
did so you may do pistols right it was so weird you know i i have
seen what's going on with this um controversy or this drama and yeah i have multiple opinions on it
um okay yeah it's here well i didn't think the show was gonna go here i love this though i love
this okay so well there's two sides of the coin right there's beside the coin as far as the
better side where you know if you're in his shoes you gotta own up to that be like all right look Okay, so, well, there's two sides of the coin, right? There's the side of the coin as far as the competitor side,
where, you know, if you're in his shoes, you got to own up to that and be like, all right, look, I've proven myself.
Clearly what I did, I'm going to stick to the rules.
Like, I'm not – it doesn't feel good.
I'm not going to advance.
Like, I completely F'd this whole process up, you know.
That's kind of like, as a good sportsman of this caliber,
I think that would probably be the best approach.
On the other side of the coin, it's like, leave this alone like he's 60 something fucking years old and he's crushing the shit out of the fitness and like at the end of the day he
didn't submit a good video but clearly he's been a champion the past three years so like there's
two sides to look at it on the on on the mentality of the competitor bro you didn't do it the way it was
asked like you got to own up to that that's unfortunate because we do know you're a beast
yeah on the other side of the bay is like like god you guys are fucking annoying like he's
awesome like yeah like he's he's an inspiration like he really is so anyway he's in a tough spot
right because no one i haven't heard anyone say anything bad about him.
Not one person.
Yeah.
So,
but he's being used as this example to say CrossFit's a shit show.
Yeah.
And that sucks.
Cause yeah,
it's an easy target and you can see why,
but anyway,
those are my short opinion.
There's no really like,
I hope he makes the best decision for,
um,
or what position he's in.
But I think he,
uh,
great athlete.
He,
you know um
yeah so he'll he'll be around i think because of it he dropped out of the competition this year
oh yeah i don't think i don't think he was on the leaderboard anymore i say well i mean
but yeah that's just a quick opinion on that another another crazy thing also is that he he his his video was unlisted
and someone sent the link to uh andrew hiller so i mean it's kind of it's it's vicious yeah i should
say i should send hip and still a ceo shirt you're right that would make him feel better okay i'm on
that yeah that's i think too with our group right we do have a lot of people that are still ingrained
in the culture of across views and you know we're very um I think that's where the experience that Boatland Ryan and even just
our coaches panel in general have if there is somebody that is going to approach a competition
that has to do with CrossFit or something where there is standards enforced then yes we're quick
to tell them like all right we're not going to be lenient on you like this is what they're going to
look for in the standards you should probably practice your fitness in this way. But for the 99% of individuals that are part of this community, just be proud of your movement.
And there's always room for improvement.
But we're also very limited with, at the end of the day, we are an online fitness community.
That is one of our disadvantages, is that we don't have the ability to be there as like opposed to an affiliate or
one-on-one coach you're able to correct those flaws right or just help them improve in a more
you know a hands-on approach but we're very aware of that but if people submit or ask questions and
most likely it is a lot of the competitors um or the people that want to do competitions then
we'll help them out for sure um but yeah i think that's what we're like
i said that really helps street parking out a lot that we know how to bridge the gap between
both worlds or you know the everyday fitness person as well as the just the recreational
competitor as opposed to like the you know like i said you have justin madero's or people that
are trying to compete to the games like look honestly you might need to you know we're
probably not the right program for you you're going to need to structure your training differently and
but we're here for when you're not in that phase of your life now um are kids welcome to the event
yeah absolutely how about if i have three kids absolutely yeah we're bringing our three boys
yeah nox will be there what if i have five kids that's fine are you counting me as one
hey uh tell them that you're gonna go to california i don't like california you are um
speaking of california how is how is uh how is washington are you guys liking it is there any
chances you guys would move you guys happy there like what's going on um i mean portland's not the
greatest and that's the biggest, but you're outside of
your North of Portland, right?
And Portland does look like a complete shit show.
Yeah.
It's like 30 minutes away, but it's, it's the city that we would go to, to go do cool
stuff because it's the closest one to us, but we just don't go there basically.
Um, but yeah, it's beautiful here.
Um, it's not as cheap as it was when we moved here.
That's for sure.
No, it's not as cheap as it was when we moved here that's for sure no it it's been great honestly
it's been um california was a distraction i know i spoke to you guys about that specifically la i
mean if you think la is a mess too so i mean you guys kind of got out of there at the right time
yeah it's just in general like i think cities with large populations don't allow you to really
focus as much as you can um being over here has allowed us to kind of stay in our own bubble and focus on one, the most important thing, which
is our family and a culture and an environment that allows us to just let them thrive, be outside
in nature and like, let's go. And it's not overly crowded, you know, we're in great neighborhood.
And it was very affordable for us, you know, way more than, you know, Irvine was at the time. And
just in general, being able to be close to, you know, Irvine was at the time. And just in general,
being able to be close to the coast where my dad's up there as well. Obviously being able to venture
into different things like investing in, you know, real estate as well has been good to us in this
area, which has been great. But most importantly, I think the focus is the biggest key. It allows
our whole team to focus as well. And just focus on like good core values. So.
How many people are you're in uh vancouver washington and how many people in the town oh i don't know how many people live in
the city like you have stoplights and shit oh yeah oh yeah i was competitive
i would yeah it's a whole foods here when we first got here. It's gone.
Uh,
yeah.
They were a little too early.
Okay.
So it's a, so it's a suburb of Portland.
It's a suburb of Portland.
Yeah.
It's really nice.
I mean,
like they got,
you got tech companies out here,
HP is out here.
Um,
if you go North another 30 miles,
does it turn into the country?
Um,
even 30 miles now starting to push to more
developed areas like more commercialized because people are starting to push out depends on which
direction you go you could go 20 miles in some directions and be pretty yes isolated
this um i'm switching back to the event this is your fourth okay yeah let's check it out
so you're right across the river there's portland God, every time I say that city's name, there's this whole, like, diatribe that I have to push out.
So when you're pushing out towards that Battleground, Ridgefield area, I would say that's when you're starting to get to, like, not as, you know, you're going super suburb there.
But there's a lot of development pushing out towards those areas.
And it starts to become a little bit more on the conservative side of things for sure.
There's less bleed through of Portland population going into those areas as opposed to Vancouver.
How close are you guys to the ocean from there?
The coast, if you're going to go more west, you're looking at 90 miles west.
There it is.
Okay.
Have you guys been over there?
Rockaway Beach?
Yeah, so Tillamook.
If you look at Tillamook there, that's where I grew up.
Oh, wow.
A couple investments there in that Neatarts Bay area that do really well.
Yeah.
Do you have any family there?
My dad's over there.
Okay.
That's right.
You said that.
Wow.
I had no idea you grew up there.
When you, this will be your fifth event, your fifth annual street parking gathering?
Vegas, Vegas, camp. Yeah, we're probably going to Hawaii yeah did you go to hawaii twice we did go to
hawaii we did the trail run a couple times um sixth maybe i don't know there's like kids and
events and who knows this is an annual event though right uh no it's the first time watching
it i did talk to dave and said like what do you, this is the first time I'm launching it. I did talk to Dave and said like.
What do you mean this is the first time?
I thought this was like a regular thing you did.
The Fitness Freedom one.
This is the first Fitness Freedom one.
Yes.
So when you say annualized event, like we have like Vegas will be going back annually
because it's, you know, but the ranch was more, we didn't really have plans to have
further meetups at the ranch.
This was kind of like a, hey, you know.
So basically what happens, what happened was I took a step back from work because I was getting ready to have the baby.
When I have free time, stuff like this happens.
All of a sudden, we'll message our whole team and be like, hey, we're having a huge 500-person event.
If we go on vacation, we come back with some whole new thing that we got to make.
So this thing could be like a baby Arnold.
This is a – this is like – maybe that's not right.
This is like a – Greg would always talk about how he wished the games would have been more like the Woodstock of fitness.
This is more like a place where you bring your kids and they play and it's like like-minded people
this is a um like a shakespearean festival but a like a fitness festival but but like some people
might be barefoot yeah sure you can be barefoot yeah yeah we were telling um i was telling dave
when i went up recently to go get some of the promo content that you know based on how he feels
about it you know because hearing what he kind of wants to get back to and obviously the future is undecided because there's so much
up in the air um but to keep things short because obviously we don't want to tease people too much
this could have the potential to be something that launches into a tour if it works if it
works out and and it's enjoyable you know so was, I was kind of surprised to see that first post that Kayla put up when it said fitness freedom.
It feels like it's a fair.
You know what I mean?
Like I imagine hay bales and my kids like, you know, on the, you know, maybe like my 13 year old boy getting his first kiss up with a girl under the bleachers. And then some teenagers maybe like, you know,
smoking some weed and doing pull-ups and then some other people like doing a
pickup football game, like next to Dave's cows.
Like I'm starting to get this, like, why, why, why? I don't know. Just,
I'm just getting that feeling. Just when I think of the ranch,
it's just a fun place. Like to, it's like, like you hug people there.
You just met this event.
Yeah. That's what we're
you like you're all of a sudden you're in a slip and slide with a stranger like yeah and when the
slip and slide tears it's like 30 dudes like run to their car to see who can duct tape it back
together at the race to fix it and that's the thing because i know like we we always ride this
line of um we have a really awesome professional team that could make, that can do
anything. Right. But we always are very careful. And this is not just in our in-person events,
but, um, on our, in our content too, the moment something's too polished, the moment it, people
don't connect to it anymore. And one of the things that we've always been conscious of is that. And
so even though we have the capability of making something like this look
a lot more uh less like the hay bales and things like that we're not going to do that because we
want that vibe and we have problems connecting with julian he's pretty fucking polished look at
that face look at that that thing is polished when i met him though he had no chest hair and
he was a lot more like you know a lot more. All right. So we've brought it down a few notches.
All right. All right. You're connecting. You're connecting.
You guys, you guys like avatars. You plugged your tails in together.
What, what is, what is smoky, smoky? Someone was comparing that event too.
I said Woodstock and someone said smoky smoky is that
some sort of event i think he was commenting on your um you know hitting the jane doing some
pull-ups there oh yeah yeah you know i mean i don't approve of it but like i know what kids do
i know what some of the kids i know and you know i'm trying to think of how good the cell phone
service is there too i can't remember if it's good or not but i think people go ahead it's pretty
good when we were out there i was able to yeah it's okay it's good or not, but I think people go ahead. It's pretty good. When we were out there, I was able to.
Yeah, it's OK.
It's looking at two bars, depending on your service.
Well, David said his Wi-Fi was broken, though.
I told him to fix it.
Yeah, I think I think Wi-Fi there is like they're in the Stone Ages.
So fitness freedom, the phrase is something that we've used for a while.
And it's not it's not associated with the event it's like a hashtag and a phrase that we've used for a long time because people will be like they'll come from a crossfit
gym background and they'll say am i allowed to am i allowed to use um 20 pound dumbbells even
though it says the suggested weight is 25 or am i allowed to use a shorter box and we're like you're allowed to do whatever you can you can hip and steal this
thing if you want to just and people will be cheering your shit on do it am i allowed to um
use a different type of bike am i allowed to switch the movements up am i allowed to use
one weight for the deadlifts and another weight for the push press? Absolutely. Like go for it, go, you know, use the workouts as a template. And that might sound to some people
like sloppy coaching. Um, but that's, that's exactly what happens in the affiliate, right?
You like look at your person and you're like, well, this dude can't run. So I'm going to throw
him on the bike. And this dude, he's strong enough in the deadlift, but he's maybe coming,
uh, recovering from a shoulder injury. So I'm going to give him dumbbells for the push press and have him go a little bit lighter. You know,
a good coach actually does that. And it's not just like willy nilly. We give them advice on
how to do that and when to do that and why to do that. And, um, but at the end of the day,
we're always like, you know what? Fitness freedom. You want to combine Tuesdays and
Wednesdays workouts. Go for it. it oh I like it okay I was taking
it somewhere completely else I like it I like it okay all right okay I'll leave my rifle at home
then fine fine uh so you guys had baby number three how long ago did that happen nine weeks
so you got a nine week old.
Yeah.
My,
my mom is here.
Actually.
She's in town.

And what's that like?
What's a nine week old baby.

And I love you.

Julian is saying he loves a fuck out of her.
There's not enough space to write down how great she is.
Uh, thank you guys for coming on i um when i saw your post uh yesterday i got really excited like at first i was like i was
thinking myself man i don't want to i hate getting out of my comfort zone but when i saw that you
were opening it up to like the world on uh july 3rd and that people could get tickets what where
do they go to get tickets? What's the website?
There's tickets just on street parking.com.
There's a link. If you go to like my bio or the bio of at street parking,
it'll take you directly to the fitness freedom page.
But if you just go to street parking.com,
you should be able to find it also.
Also really quick.
I just have to appreciate your Disney episode.
Oh,
Oh,
Hey, I was, I was, I, i don't know how i feel about that episode
but i but i was i was i i i was shocked i was damaged i was damaged you're absolutely right
i mean we used to have annual passes for that before we had nox and it was uncomfortable going
there every time for that it's a drug addicts convention it's really just where people go to eat sugar there were just rows of people just eating sugar oh yeah by the thousands i remember
there was the one experience that really was blew me away and i never cared i could care how people
raise their kids that's on them but i remember like i haven't kind of planned out where i know
where i can go eat that's going to not make me sick and that's usually nothing nothing inside of Disneyland or California Adventure. It's mostly in downtown Disney. There's like a
restaurant, like a burger restaurant. But they also have like this crazy milkshake machine bar.
Like, I forget what that restaurant's called. Anyway, you can order yourself a ground turkey
patty and some greens and stuff. But I remember this parent was asking their daughter, they're
like, probably nine years old. Hey, like, what do you want to eat? She's oh can i just get like a salad he's like really he's like you don't want like
one of those milkshakes or anything and for a moment i i it like triggered me and i was like
hey what's wrong with the salad right right right right uh anyway it was it blew my mind but yeah
it is set up it sets you up for um not good habits for sure it is just a
you feel bad honestly i felt really bad with the kids because the kids were so obese that
their bodies will forever be changed from what they've been taught at this point now if you're
an adult it's on you but but the kids man eight-year-old kids by the thousands there that are just
and you just know that yeah they don't know like people just genuinely don't know and i think they
just have such a bad image of what like you know healthy change looks like as opposed to being
feeling attacked and you're just like the future is not heading in the right direction for a big population of the world.
Yeah, it looked like the collapse of society, to be honest with you.
To me, it looked like the fall of the, like, it looked like the collapse of society.
Society will not be able to carry, no pun intended, the weight of that many sick people.
It was too many.
Yeah.
So you're not alone in those feelings.
Just wanted to throw that out there.
Knox wants to tell them something really quick before we hang up.
He said he wants to talk to them.
Do we got to get tickets for the zoo so we can go?
So we can.
When's best party tomorrow?
Do I go to the zoo to get tickets?
I don't. Save some energy for the street parking gathering on July 3rd. Spaz party tomorrow and I go to the zoo to get tickets and go.
Save some energy for the street parking gathering on July 3rd. And by the way, I want to
say something about that Disneyland episode.
A gentleman did reach out to us who
said that he lost 120 pounds and he's
kept it off for four years and
he's coming on the show in three weeks and that's
the kind of stuff I want to do also. I want
to make sure like every month we get someone.
If anyone has any stories out there of successful,
healthy lifestyle changes.
Yeah.
You're always welcome on the show.
So bam.
Yeah.
All right,
guys,
I'm pumped.
We're going to see you soon.
Okay,
cool.
And really quick,
that guy that was on the hopped on your podcasting last night,
I think he was in his van or something. You know who I talking about oh gary roberts yeah yeah yeah we're gonna
get gary you had asked him about like how come he's not working out anymore yeah yeah gary doesn't
work out anymore i was i was listening as i was like putting crew to sleep and i said if you
connect them with us we'll get them set up with the street park oh yeah oh brilliant
yeah it's because i was i felt bad i was like bro like just because you have to like i get it like
having kids and everything and you know we both get it but like we got to get you to a point point
of simplicity again like let's keep you on it and so i commented i was like stefan get a whole
get a hold of me so that way we can get upset up the street park that's awesome okay that that's
crazy too because i actually reached out to one of our benefactors and i said hey can we get him
a membership at some sort of gym next to him but i will definitely the street parking would be
awesome oh what let me ask you this sorry before you go sorry what about the accountability thing
like the immediate thing that pops in my head was i was like okay i was going to get him a membership
at some crossfit gym near him so he had the accountability to go in there and make
sure how do people feel that um and maybe they don't but how do they feel that healthy peer
pressure that that you feel in a crossfit gym i would say there's two ways i would that i would
two ways i would answer that within the street parking community.
One is just like any sort of affiliate.
If you show up and you show up for a few months, people will notice that you're gone.
So we have a really active Facebook group, really active, where people have met friends and now they're in text groups on the side and things like that.
Obviously, you can't get the support of the group
if you never show up, but that's the same as if you sign up for a CrossFit class and you only show
up once a month, like you're never going to be part of that community if you do that. The other
way is just how we put together our, our platform because there's all these different like badges.
And when you do 75 workouts, we send you a free hoodie
and it's like, you're, we do earned gear and badges that people share and they get pumped
about and they can see their counters going up every single, every time they log and every day.
And we're, we're adding some more stuff as well. We gamified, we gamified it. Um, again,
not anything with scores, but consistency. Right. You can see it by the way, that is something that I learned from you. Um, I always
tripped my whole life that, um, there were all these people with goals, goals, goals, and I never
thought of myself as a goal oriented person. And I've had some amazing successes in life.
And while, but the first time I had you on the show, I was scanning through all your posts,
uh, Miranda, and I saw that you, you, you had a post about that, about habits, passion,
and discipline. And I was like, oh shit, I have all three of those. And those were the components
of what led to progress. You didn't even need a goal if you had good habits. And one of my habits
is to always refine habits. But if you had habits, passion, and discipline, that the road was going
to be plentiful and you nailed it. Yeah.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
We're more about building habits for people than like having a weight loss goal or a deadlift goal or a mile time goal.
It's just like,
Hey,
more impressive would be a year of consistency and where that takes you.
It takes you.
And you got to also like when you can get to a point,
of course I understand the benefit of having the community because that is such a big important part but then if you're able
to get to a place of not relying on other individuals for your sustainability in your
health and fitness you've made it like you have just crushed it now and obviously like the community
the street part community just so supportive online so if you need that kind of support that community is there they're going
to be extremely supportive but um so true because what i mean how many times have you heard of
people who move away from their crossfit gym and then they stopped working out that wasn't a habit
that was gary that was gary he was there for two years and then so again like it's like or or the
shutdown happened and they just stopped working
out yeah that's crazy to me yeah i think that that's why the we have so many local meetups
that happen across the country and all over the world now actually um it's really cool to see that
if you look up the hashtag street parking they'll get meetups all over you know 10 to 50 to 100
people and you know so if you need that fixed
like you know we have the members that go to one of those meetups and they just make good strong
connections and now they've made their group of friends to stay in contact with to help keep them
accountable and um yeah what do you think that is you said something about you when you my words not
yours but when you finally reach a point where you don't need anything else and it's like all
personal like you just need you to do it what do you think that is that clicks were you ever not
like that oh my god yeah oh yeah it was a lot of self- self development for myself as an individual, for sure. You know, because even it took me a while to branch away from,
even when I was a competitor in 2016, that's why I didn't make it.
I was relying on other individuals.
I felt like I couldn't work out at home because I was like,
nobody else is doing this. I need my group.
And then it was wonderful to help me see that, like, you know, just know,
like you are great.
Come up with your own things. You know yourself the most.
You're able to take control of how you are going to approach fitness.
And when I was able to do that in 2017, I actually attribute that to the success of almost like that comeback journey.
I just stayed in my lane. I stayed the course.
I focused on what I was, you know, lacking or what I needed to improve on.
stayed the course i focused on what i was you know lacking or what i needed to improve on and now that led me into when you can get to a point of knowing that you can take a couple days
off or a week off and you don't stress about that throwing you off of your fitness that's an amazing
feeling a week off did you say a week yeah let's just say you're sick like when i got hit with
i took yeah i was out for 14 days and not how not once was i was like oh my gosh i'm gonna lose it it's like uh okay it's gonna be
annoying but i can't wait to get back to it did you still go out on walks though like i can't i
tried but i was it was so it hit me so bad i got like a version of like the mexican covid
that really just like hit me hard because my mom went to go
visit my brother Alan TJ and she came and we picked her up and she just it transferred over to me so
it was like me and my mother and we were out and it took me I would say three and a half weeks before
I was able to get back into some kind of flow and what's crazy is i was able to identify immediately how covid attacks the
lungs because my cardio and my aerobic capacity was just it was it was unbelievable how long it
took me to get that back i mean we're about two so seven you remember by the way my mom's writing
i'm inspired you guys are amazing i think she's talking about i think she's talking about me and matt like holy shit i can't believe you did two podcasts today or three
or whatever it is you remember in uh june of 2012 is when i was in that car accident and we're about
to put together a video um showing 10 years of consistency because i mean a week off for me is
like i mean i had i broke my neck, then I tore my ACL.
I've been pregnant three times and that's all in the last 10 years, you know, like,
but you just keep moving through it and you alter your movement and you, but once it's a habit,
it's part of your identity. It's who, part of who you are. I didn't stop brushing my teeth
during those phases. I didn't stop taking showers, maybe a few less, you know, here and there, but once it becomes just a part of your routine and who you are, it looks different, but it's just,
it's there always. And if you need other people around, um, if I need someone to come over and
remind me to brush my teeth, then that's not good. You know? Yeah. Well, it's just, it's a,
it's a start, right? Like I just can't see ever even when i was like
i a couple i don't know a couple weeks ago i was so fucking sick like i was like man i shouldn't
even be driving i'm so sick and but i still went out to the garage and got on the assault bike
and dressed as warm as i could threw down two pints of water and just pedaled as slow as i
could for 20 minutes both of us like that as well yeah and i just needed and i felt incredible for
an hour after that.
I mean, don't get me wrong. I was like at 50 RPMs.
Just chilling. That's great. But I was,
I felt for the hour after that, I was like,
holy shit, I feel so much better. And then the sickness came
back.
Mama, look at these guys.
All right, guys. Thank you so
much. Can I bring my mom?
Yeah. I want to bring
all these guys. you got any old people

before this podcast like so i got home at 5 50 from uh jujitsu with my kids and i immediately
ran into the garage and got on the assault bike for 12 minutes and just pedaled my
ass off. I had to sweat and then jump in the shower.
I kind of have this weird...
I don't feel right if I...
not sweating when the podcast starts.
I don't know.
Of course not. I feel the same way.
You have to be sweating
when you hear me talk?
Of course.
It just happens. It's a side effect of hearing you talk to be sweaty when you hear me talk? Of course. It just happens.
It's a side effect of hearing you talk.
I get sweaty when someone talks.
Bruce, did you just call to shoot the shit or test the phone or what's going on?
No, I called to shoot the shit.
To what?
Oh, to tell me that I hadn't checked my DMs.

Oh, did you see that Joe Rogan posted up a picture or a video of the guy that you were supposed to interview today?
Dude, you're sharp, Bruce.
Bruce is sharp.
Can you bring that up?
Isn't that crazy?
Hey, dude.
Yeah.
I posted it up, and I said, is Joe Rogan watching the Sevan podcast?
Dude, there's so much crazy synergy happening right now.
It's freaking nuts.
Yeah.
There are about like five things happening like this today.
This is nuts.
Yeah.
So to explain to you guys what happened, basically I did a podcast. I was supposed to do a podcast with um alexis land landot he's an urban climber and this is what um this is what
bruce wayne is referring to and he didn't show up and so dylan vowel who is in the in the chat
jumped on who we were supposed to do a podcast with on monday but he's like
great dude dude so he comes on and we do the whole podcast
and then at the very end of the podcast this guy who's climbing on the side of this building right
here alexis alexis landot he comes on he's like oh shit dude i just got the message i'm so sorry
i'm like it's okay so he's on the last five minutes of the show and i'm like we'll reschedule
with you what bruce is saying is then 10 minutes after the show was over, this fucking posted on Joe Rogan.
Yeah.
Crazy.
Crazy, crazy, crazy.
His account has exploded since then, too.
Yeah, let's see.
Yeah, he's like,
he probably is too big time for us now.
Hey, didn't I?
Say that again, Bruce?
Oh, I know. I'm just joking. Trust me. I don't think like that. Thank you, Bruce. Oh, I know. I'm just joking.
Trust me.
I don't think like that.
Thank you, though.
I'm feigning humility.
I'm feigning humility.
There it is.
