Dan's like, what the fuck is happening?
Autobots.
Autobots.
Come on. Wow.
I wish I could tell you what was going on.
He might be on a really old computer or something.
Or a PC.
Yeah.
I can't hear him at all.
Oh, he's muted.
Yeah, I muted him. It was just reverberating.
Oh, so when he comes on, we turn into Autobots.
Right, because it's just echoing off of his computer.
You think Dan's really an AI?
You know what?
Probably.
Dan, do you have a phone?
Maybe you could use a phone.
Do you have an iPhone?
Okay.
Yeah, maybe log out of your computer suite.
He looks like he got a new one me and him
have similar taste in case did you see that that's a good that's a good you'll have to use safari
dan safari or chrome i don't think chrome will pull up your like a stream on there every time
i've used it it's told me to go to safari oh interesting and on computers it's chrome right
makes no sense you sound fine even when he's unm. I know we sound like autobots. What are you talking about?
Dude last night show is wild. I was a great show it was all over the place
Which was cool, though
Cave Astro says,
these are not the droids you're looking for.
These are not the droids you're looking for.
All right.
We'll leave a spot open.
We'll leave a spot open.
Nope.
We already took his spot.
There was a clip I wanted to play last night.
Shit, I might as well play it now from Greg's show.
Oh, no, it was on the Zachary.
Was it the Zachary Kadat show?
Oh, yeah.
I was going to show you this last night.
This is because Zachary's into movement videos.
So I was going to play this.
Sit in the back seat in the middle legs wide open you
are going to sit with your legs together on your partner's lap and then you're going to take your
elbows over the insides of the front seat to kind of like pull your weight up and then you can come
up and down what's great about this position is you can also grab the headrest lean back and do some
grinding or you can even lean back over one shoulder of your partner and grind like this
your partner is going to sit in the back seat in the middle legs wide open you are going to sit
with your legs together on your partner's crazy and then you're going to take your elbows over
the insides of the feet. What if the CrossFit Games
had movement standards like this?
Like an explanation.
Probably be way
less confusing.
God. Austin Hartman,
this woman needs Christ.
No, you need her.
Yeah, what do you mean? That would be...
Or maybe Jesus needs her. I'm going to burn in hell for that one. Hey, what do you mean? That would be, or maybe Jesus needs her.
I'm going to burn in hell for that one.
Hey, what's up, Dan?

And you've had the affiliate for 10 years.
We're eight years now,
eight year affiliate owners,

Did you guys start it from scratch or did you buy it from someone?
No,

wife is actually like og crossfit so she did her l1 in california in 2008 with dave castro
uh bosman so she she's uh i probably did yeah i i bet you i was there at that one if it was
in california in 08 yeah do you remember whose gym she did it at
rach what gym was that wow that you did your l1 one world right you must go dude i was 100% there
hey hey was that the word was that was the one where did she hear when dave said hey this is
the 95 pound bar for men and this is the 65-pound bar for women and pussies?
Were you there?
Was he climbing all the way?
No, no, no.
That's where he said that shit.
That's where he would say that shit.
He said, I've heard him say it at gym.
So he's asking if Dave said,
this is the 95-pound bar for men
and this is the 65-pound bar for the pussies?
Oh.
And women and pussies.
Which is what he said.
I've heard him say that at One world back in the day in 2008 i'm sure i was at your uh level one
i'm sure probably filming or something yeah they they filmed all those dave castro videos for his
talk like the ones that made it onto the crossfit journal were filmed there at that uh at that
because it was like the first one without glassman it was like the first
one and we were like no we're too late we missed glassman hey do you remember him saying that they
lined up all the night oh darn it was so crazy and i remember because i was just this just this
crazy sensitivo from berkeley i was like this is totally unacceptable you can. Talk to people like this. Wow. So much of CrossFit was unacceptable
back then, but I mean, like that's where the fun was. Crazy. All right. Thank you. Great.
Great to talk to you. Wow. What's her, what's her name, Dan? That's Rachel.
Oh, she's fine. You did good. Good job. Oh dude. I, I killed it. So I, uh, uh, dude, I killed it. So we met at a CrossFit gym that she was managing in 2012,
and I had just retired from kickboxing.
So I was getting ready to fight in a style of kickboxing called low kick
for the national championships.
And during that fight camp, I got concussed really bad for about,
I think at that point, the fifth time in my life.
And so I was in a bad place for months after that.
I couldn't function.
I couldn't work out for the first time since I was like 15 years old.
And I didn't know what to do with myself.
And one of my buddies, he sent me a link and he's like, listen,
these dudes compete in working out. just got to work out nobody's going to punch you in the face so that was my
first time that was my first time googling like okay what is crossfit where like where is one of
these you know gyms around me and so i found my local box and I emailed the owner and the owner at the time
there he was a big power lifter dude big strong guy and I'm like oh yeah this dude is gonna like
show me how to get strong I've been kickboxing forever so I was always cutting weight and
was it Jesse Ward by any chance no no uh yeah so he uh yeah so i was like super excited for the like i had spent five months
pretty much not being able to do too much and getting my head right again and officially
retiring from kickboxing after spending you know a good decade doing that kind of stuff um and so
i emailed him i told him who I was excited. He convinced me
that I needed to do 10 PTs. I said, Okay, I'm like, I'm in. So I bought 10 PTs, I showed up
to the gym ready for this big, big, strong dude to show me what's up. And this little girl comes
up to me and she's like, Hi, I'm Rachel. And I'm going to teach you how to CrossFit. And I almost laughed in her face, but I was like,
this little girl is like,
she has no idea what I've been through in the last 10 years,
what I'm capable of. And she's going to show me. And dude,
hour later I was begging to get punched in the face again.
She tore me a whole new world. It was unbelievable.
You ended up dating and marrying and having kids with
your personal trainer yeah yeah that's a little boy's dream good job yeah yeah yeah so yeah we uh
we opened up the affiliate eight years ago i actually proposed to her on the grand opening
and then um it was like it was everything we wanted to do together and love together and now we have three
boys who are growing up in the gym and kind of crossfit became this thing that brought everything
in my life into where it should be and end up which is uh pretty cool are your boys doing
martial arts yeah so my uh my six-year-old he uh that's him they're doing some thrusters uh he he does bjj um
one of my best friends marcio owns the local uh jiu-jitsu uh gym and so he goes to bjj
uh at least a couple times a week he does gymnastics and those are my they are a brazilian
immigrant to the great country of Canada. Yeah, from Rio.
He's awesome.
So I do jujitsu there as well sometimes.
I don't do it as much anymore, but he goes all the time.
My twins will go once they're old enough to go.
I think it's the perfect way for them to be introduced to that whole world.
Dude, 100%. Hey, so tell me the age of your kids so my oldest is turning six and then my twins are uh turning two in january so you're you're
kind of doing what i'm doing i got i got mine are two years apart years or four years apart but i
got an oldest in 20 yeah yeah exactly we follow the instagram my wife sends me stuff from
your uh from your boys all the time look what they're doing dude congratulations yeah thanks
dude it's amazing i love those kids more than anything man like it's the greatest blessing in
life i i'm i'm sure you've heard this a thousand times so i'll just pile on dude
it's only going to get better i can't wait i can't wait it sounds unbelievable i mean you're
gonna love every second of it but last night i was going to bed and i was looking at him and i'm
like this is nuts i mean i just partied so hard with the three of them yesterday it's crazy that's amazing yeah yeah it's cool i just i can't wait for the jiu-jitsu
tournaments and uh i'm excited for when the twins get old enough where they all beat each other up
like it's just going to be absolute bloodbath um my kids have been doing tennis for three years
and it was only until basically the last couple weeks that they can all play together now right
the nine-year-old they can actually rally with the the play together now. Right. The nine-year-old, they can actually rally with the,
the nine-year-old, well, the nine-year-old and the six-year-old,
that's almost seven. They can all rally.
So I can just sit in a lawn chair at the tennis court and they can just play,
you know what I mean? King of the court.
That's the best. Yeah. You're going to have a great time.
So, so you open a gym and why do you guys open a gym?
Well, that was, that was all she knew so it's all we both of us ever wanted to do on our separate paths um actually
before i started going to the crossfit gym i was going to open up my own uh like strength and
conditioning facility at that point i'd been training all the fighters at the gym i
was at uh as their strength and conditioning coach so that's what i wanted to do and then
you know once you get bit with the crossfit bug it's over so it just changed my whole trajectory
of what what i saw i could do with people what um just like how i i how i train my fighters for fights uh even still to
this day i'm i train a lot of pro boxers and i'll use something like the ghost that dave castro wrote
for uh guerrero who is a former wbc world champion boxer uh i'll use that workout like the exact
workout and i'll give my pro boxers that workout
to do as part of their camp and we have times on that workout um and we know like as they get
closer to a fight uh they're going to be in shape if they can hit a certain amount of uh reps on
that workout so yeah this is the ghost here and uh we do this and i switch out the rowing for
echo bite calories as well sometimes.
I like this motion, especially for boxers.
But it's a cool video they have.
You can find it on YouTube of Guerrero doing the workout at the beginning of camp with Castro.
I think they're at the ranch.
And then they do it again in the middle and end of camp.
And just how much better and how much fitter he got through that camp for a world championship fight and he was going 12 rounds so six rounds is like
i'd say an average uh pro boxer will fight six rounds more towards the beginning of their career
and then the closer they get obviously to those uh championship and titles, they'll fight, uh, eight, 10 and then 12 rounds.
Um, so like I'll have my, uh, I just had what pro boxer who I train, uh, John
Michael Bianco, who's, uh, just won the Canadian super middleweight belt, uh,
about a month ago and he'll do like eight to 12 rounds of that workout.
And it is, it's gnarly.
It will knock you right out.
So I don't know.
I found CrossFit.
She was already obviously,
she quit university to run that gym.
She was going to the University of Toronto.
The one she worked at.
The one that, yeah, the one that we met at.
She always wanted to be a teacher,
but she was going to the University of Toronto, the Mississauga campus for, I think it was geology.
Geography.
Geography, sorry.
Physical geography.
And she just hated it and loved being in the affiliate.
And she just became the general manager pretty much there and ran that place and quit school.
And that's all she wanted to do.
That's all I wanted to do. That's all I wanted to do.
I had been in the gym, like in combat sports since I was 16 years old.
So I didn't really know much else.
My dad always told me that I should, you know,
follow up somewhere where I have a passion and I really love what I'm doing.
And he was a immigrant who kind of worked to make sure that we could be
provided for.
And he never had that.
So my dad was born in Chihuahua,
Mexico.
Now he's yeah,
he's not Mexican,
but he was born in a German Mennonite colony in Mexico.
They're farmers.
You can kind of,
I think there's some youtube documentaries on that
as well where they use the uh they use the german mennonites to bring drugs across the border because
they were in horse and buggies and it was easy way to get the drugs across the border i don't
think they can do that anymore but um so yeah my dad yeah they can't don't don't yeah they can't
they can bring anything across the border is open You can come back and do what you want.
Yeah.
The majority of Mennonites are farmers and produce various agricultural products.
Wow.
So your dad's a German that ended up in basically some sort of cult that thought it would be best to farm in Mexico because of what they could grow there.
Basically, your grandparents were homesteaders but in mexico yeah yep and so uh when they got here
uh they lived uh in a like a farming community uh outside of gta probably a couple hours
and uh they jumped the good country they went from mexico to canada they just jumped a good
country just came right on through yeah and yeah so he he grew up on the farm just just working
and honestly he had a horrible upbringing because uh my grandfather was a drunk and a drug addict
and beat the snot out of him um and he was abused on a whole bunch of different levels.
And he actually, so it's interesting because, you know,
you think of Mennonites as they believe in God
and they have these set of rules.
And then he got the crap beat out of him
because my grandfather was not a good person.
And then a pastor from the local church found him one day
on the side of the road, just like kind of bawling his eyes out because all his German Mennonite
families are huge. So he had he was the third youngest out of 13 children. Yeah, so all the
older ones had left because they weren't taking it anymore. And it was him, his younger brother
and sister that were left. And he was him, his younger brother and sister that
were left. And he didn't know what to do with himself because the other thing about being a
German Mennonite in those communities is that the farmers and the people who grew up there didn't
like them at all. So when he would go to school, he'd get the crap beat out of him. And they hated
him because he was a Mennonite. And then when he would go home, his dad would beat the crap out of him.
The local Mexican kids?
No, the local Ontario, like the local Canadians.
Oh.
When they moved here.
Okay, okay, okay.
Yeah.
So when they moved here, he would get –
he just got the crap kicked out of him everywhere he went.
So a local pastor had picked him up
and kind of taken care of him in the church.
And then that's where my dad went from being a Mennonite to a Christian and just kind of changed his whole trajectory of life.
And he started his own business, started a trucking business that he still owns 30 years later.
He's done really well for himself.
He still owns 30 years later.
He's done really well for himself.
And the hardest working man I know, and I think we'll ever know, he's 63 years old, still goes to work every single day, still works the same business he's been running for the last 30-something years.
You're still proud of him?
He's the greatest.
He's my hero beyond anything I could ever tell you, Siobhan.
Yeah.
How cool to have a great dad like that that pulled his shit together for his family.
Yeah.
And you know he did it for you.
Yeah, 100%. And he worked like a dog for so many years.
Hey, dude, how do you switch religions?
I was telling my mom this the other day.
I was like, you know why I'm not religious.
She goes, why?
I'm like, because i have no calling like like i'm just doing my i'm doing my calling right yeah i have a calling
but i'm doing my calling at the fidelity and the clarity that i get it right like i'm not having
dreams where jesus is like wake up and go to church you know what i mean or i'm not seeing
i'm not i'm not it was my awareness i'm getting, I'm not seeing like the Buddha calling me or
Islam calling me or Christianity calling me. I just don't, I'm open to it, but I don't,
I wonder what calling your dad. And so I just don't want to fake it. You know what I mean?
I don't want to, I don't want to fake it. I want to be like, I want to get called or not called.
Yeah. I think when you're in those, like a situation where he's in, where they're telling you that, you know, they believe in one thing.
Like, there's a God and there's all these rules that you have to follow.
And then you watch your own father, as soon as things got hard, turn to something completely different than the God that he claimed was there.
Right?
So if he really believed in that god and the times got hard
why did he turn to something else rather than that god so i think he saw that and how fake it can be
that that that is like a cult of um you know where they have all these rules but they don't actually
believe in them because like this you know this man who uh would go get drunk and do drugs every night and then come home
and beat the crap out of his own kids uh so i think he was just searching for like what why am
i this person who has to take all this abuse all the time and then i think when he met that pastor
and he saw the the flip side of somebody who didn't know him at all, but had a love to give him
that he had never received from anybody else. And that love was coming from, you know, from some
other place. Like, why would this man, why would this man just love him for no reason? And there
was nothing asked for in return. There was nothing, it was just given to him where everything in his
life was taken away
from him constantly and then on top of that he had to go to school for certain amount of hours
and then work on the farm for the rest of the time to make sure that that my dad's family didn't get
kicked off that farm that they were renting they had to work the land to stay they had to work the
land to eat so his whole life is based around all this hate and all these physical things
that he had to do all the time and then somebody showed him love and compassion out of nothing for
no reason and i think that's where when that when that somebody shows you that and their their
purpose is from something up above that they believe that you know there is a god and
there's a god of compassion and he's there to uh he's there to be there for you when you have
nobody else and he put this man in that position to do that for him once i think once those two
worlds you go from that to this, it can change you forever.
Because he could have been the most bitter human being.
And you want to know something even crazier?
He didn't leave.
He wouldn't leave the farm.
So he believed that he should stay.
He should make sure that his little brother and little sister were taken care of. He, he believed that he had, he should do that, that he should
continue to work to make sure that they didn't get kicked out
and end up homeless on the streets.
And he forgave his dad.
So the grandfather, I know that I grew up with is not the same
man that he got abused by.
So my, my grandfather actually ended up.
My dad led my grandfather to to the lord to jesus
after that whole thing after everything he had done and my grandfather who was an alcoholic he
repented he became completely sober he never drank another day in his life and then the grandfather
that i knew was a loving man who loved us he would build he would
build these little wooden toys in his shed for us we would go there until the day he died he was a
loving man i never knew any of that stuff until i got older and my dad and my dad told me and it was
even interesting at his funeral you could still see that some of his older brothers when they
talked about him had resentment had anger towards him and everything that had happened and my dad was
just at peace my dad put that to peace long time ago and he decided that he was going to stick
around and do something that you know i guess 99 of people couldn't or wouldn't do. And he attributes that to his faith and what he believes in.
Well, what a great story. Holy shit. He lived a full life, full circle.
Yeah. And my dad is living a full life.
Living a full life. We didn't grow up normal in our family. Our whole dynamic is so different.
As a four or five-year-old, I remember this man who lived with us.
His name was Ted.
My dad went downtown Toronto, and he was feeding the homeless during a Christmas kind of time.
He found this man who just had this crazy cough and had nowhere to go.
He picked the man up, put him in his van, and brought him home.
That guy lived with us until the day he died of lung cancer so how many years how long did he live with you
holy shit your dad sounds weirder than me i ran yeah he's in my backyard it was wild yeah so like he doesn't he brought a dude home
he found who was who was sick and just let him live in your joint for with his kids for a couple
years and then he died yeah yeah i still remember going to that funeral as a as a kid because ted
became like a like a live-in grandfather for us's a Polish man. He spoke English well enough to take care of us.
But yeah, he just was part of the family.
My mom, she loved him just like you would an older uncle or something along those lines.
Dude, I've never – I swear to you, in 51 years of me being alive besides me and now your dad
those are the only people i know who've taken in homeless people i mean there was a movie like
called beverly hills bum or something there was a movie where they took in a homeless guy
okay yeah crazy that your dad did that wild i wonder what i wonder wow i'd like to meet your dad someday see if like yeah are you sure
he's not armenian he's not no he's mexican mennonite oh yeah down and out in beverly hills
there we go wow what a what a great what a great story yeah you did not you did not have a um
you did not have a uh a normal upbringing's this guy. I've told this story before, Dan, but there's this guy that it's too long to tell now, but how I met him was just wild. The circumstances I met him. And then I didn't see him for, it was in Santa Barbara. And then I didn't see him for 10 years, right? I knew nothing about him, nothing.
Right. I knew nothing about him, nothing. And my wife goes, hey, I wonder.
And he's a homeless guy. And he goes, hey, I wonder what that guy is doing these days.
And I go, yeah, I wonder what he's doing, too. And I went down to the local Starbucks that I hadn't been.
This is in Santa Cruz, 400 miles away from Santa Barbara.
I went down to a local Starbucks that I hadn't been to since COVID because they had all these rules there.
But they and I went down there and I look on the patio.
And I'm like, hey, dude, what's up? What what are you doing here and he's i'm waiting for you and i just brought him home again like the first
time i saw him and so i post pictures of this guy periodically on my instagram when our paths
cross again but it's a big fucking state california yeah geez oh yeah there's some there's some weird shit uh in the in the uh in the ether what a great
what what a what a bizarre uh trippy fun world we live in there's this saying
who don't talk to strangers don't talk to angels that and my dad believes exactly that too
yeah yeah yeah there's a there's a a verse in Bible too, but something along those lines.
Oh, maybe I stole it from there.
He, yeah, he believes it and he lives it.
Like he lives it every day to this day.
He lives that same, like he will not stop doing what he believes is his calling to do.
Yeah, there he is. There he is. There he there he is that's yeah that's the guy yeah he hasn't changed a bit since i met him 25 years ago so weird
we have we have one guy around our gym uh his name's thorsten he's a from germany originally
and he drops in i make him a. I give him a protein bar.
We talk. I always ask him, do you need anything? He always tells me, no, I'm good. I like the
coffee. Then he goes about his way. This guy doesn't want to take anything from me.
I even said he could live in the backyard. He's like, no, thank you. You hungry? No,
thank you. You got to have something. You see dome of my wife without the domas yeah um why did you name your gym uh what's it called
again rad radix oh radix radix uh radix is like a latin term uh and it's the latin term that uh
that i pulled up was the it stands for the force that gives rise to all movement.
So it's like the force inside of you that starts any kind of movement to happen.
So I just love the way that sounded and that it was off the beaten path.
I had originally started my original business was called Core Performance.
And then there was this guy in the States who had core performance and he threatened
to sue me and he sent me all these letters.
And I was like, dude, I got like five PT clients.
The name is all yours, bro.
Like I will figure this out.
So yeah, I, I just, I liked the way it felt.
I liked the way it rolled off my tongue.
And then there was actually a CrossFit radix in norway when i had go went to affiliate it um and we uh
we wanted to have the name we weren't able to have it for as our crossword affiliate
um and uh but they ended up closing down so then i was able to change over because we had crossfit
rpx just as a in-betweener and uh so now we have the crossfit radix name as well which was uh cool
sucks that gyms are closing down everywhere but are you just google searching like once a month
to see if they've closed down or like eventually like i did i did i did a couple times how did you
because after covid uh like i don't know how long COVID lasted for you guys in California, but in Ontario, it lasted forever.
And they never wanted us to run a gym again.
It's still going.
It's still going there.
Don't know why.
And the masks are coming back.
It's driving me absolutely insane.
So after COVID, I think there was four different CrossFit gyms in our area that just started shutting down, shutting down, shutting down.
And it just gave me a thought like, oh, man, these gyms are shutting down. I'm going to check out CrossFit Radix again. And when I Googled, they had shut down as well.
So I just emailed my CrossFit Canada people and asked them if I could grab that name and switch
it over. They were good with it. Hey dude, don't let your kids be around people wearing masks there's 11
conclusive study all 11 studies done with kids who are around people who are wearing masks
they end up with a stunted development and the reason that why they're speculating they claim
it but i'll say it's speculating is it more than um more than half of the kids learn uh uh talking skills or learn from lip reading
people we've always just assumed it's from listening but kids are lip reading and watching
mouths and so when you cover the face and then of course you're stunting their emotional development
because everyone's trying to read everyone right that's That's what we're doing. And what's crazy, so I had a friend who got an exemption for –
he was the only kid in the school who didn't have to wear a mask.
The parent got an exemption.
The kid still fucked up because everyone else was wearing masks.
And they didn't think about that.
So you don't want your kid around those people because your kid needs to see shit,
especially the little one.
Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah. The stuff, yeah the stuff man savon the stuff that we went because my wife was pregnant through that time
the stuff we went through around here because of that or even in man she's so she obviously
she's pregnant and people are trying to push the vaccines on her while she's pregnant and she's like
adamant about this is never happening you guys need to just leave me alone right um but
savant we get in there she has a scheduled c-section for the twins because my first my first
was an emergency c-section that it was like the longest birth of life and i didn't do anything
like the longest birth of life and i didn't do anything but um we get in there the anesthesiologist finds out that she's not vaccinated and starts like losing it you're not vaccinated and just
immediately starts screaming at different nurses like where's her where's her covid test is she
positive is she and i'm like why is this lady freaking out like your wife you're trying to
have two children here right now and your wife can hear this lady freaking out? Like, we're trying to have two children here right now.
And your wife can hear this?
This is with your wife?
Yeah, we're both sitting.
Yeah.
Yeah, this is literally 30 minutes before they're going to cut her open
and bring two children into this world.
Okay?
This lady is freaking out about it.
And she's grabbing my hand like, what's wrong with this lady?
Also probably wants to, you know, do something else, like, I'm sure.
But so finally, she's not positive, whatever.
This lady kind of calms down and then starts explaining to my wife about where the nearest place she can get vaccinated is as soon as she's done giving birth.
And I'm like, what?
I'm ready to, like, just lose my whatever.
So I just told her, I'm like, listen, that has
nothing to do with what's happening right now. Like you need to do your job and let everybody
else, you know, let's get on with this. So far, my wife is getting cut open, babies being pulled
out. The anesthesiologist looks at her and starts telling her the advantages of getting vaccinated in the middle of the birth,
man. Like literally she's cut open side to side babies coming out. And that's what she's,
that's what she's trying to like. Was the anesthesiologist a healthy person? Like when
you looked at her, were they a healthy person? She just reminded me of like a very old, angry.
Yeah. Like slightly psychotic. Tell her to move to Berkeley. We want her a very old, angry. Yeah.
Like slightly psychotic. Tell her to move to Berkeley.
We want her.
Tell her, please.
She'll fit in perfectly.
So the other thing is they had a, so my wife had to wear a mask while she was doing this too.
I'm uncomfortable hearing this story.
It's not even like over.
My wife is giving birth and they're telling her, you know, do whatever she does.
Her mask comes down to here.
This lady, as soon as she sees it, grabs the mask and puts it back over top of her face.
And if there's ever been a time in my life where I wanted to like punch a lady in the head, it was in that moment right there.
Like just know how do you do this for a living?
Like there's no empathy that she's having two children right now.
Like, what is wrong with you?
But anyway, that's my brain.
They don't teach bedside manner.
They don't teach bedside manner.
They don't really.
It was brutal.
Absolutely brutal.
Hey, you know what's crazy, too?
On the other end of the spectrum with home birth,
the thing is that really no one's supposed to talk to the woman at all.
She's going through...
No man, no doctor, no nothing.
You are there just to hold the space.
Every person in the room should just be focused on their own breath
and leave the woman alone.
The woman is... And just serve the woman.
She wants music.
You play music.
She wants water.
You bring her water.
You're not to show any expression on your face, excitement, sadness.
You're just to hold the fucking space.
She's about to go through fucking the biggest miracle of any human being can go on on planet Earth.
And you're there as a as a fucking witness.
You're the luckiest human being in the world.
You get to witness it.
Shut the fuck up.
Just if you have a prayer, say a prayer in your head.
And it's crazy that this fucking bitch is grabbing your wife's face or doing anything to elevate her anxiety.
It's crazy.
It's hatred.
Yeah.
It's so selfish. it's so fucking selfish how roberts hebrews 13
2 do not forget to show hospitality to strangers for by doing some people have shown hospitality
to angels without knowing it there you go that's damn damn how have you heard that one do you know that one yeah that's the one that like my dad has told
us through our whole childhood is why like i have stories and stories so on of like again
our childhood was not normal he he took care of so many people uh he took care of uh like he
started a whole bus ministry where he would go to like the ghettoist area of
where we were and pick up kids and bring them to school on the bus every Sunday
morning. Those, those, those kids are still my friends to this day.
And their lives are changed because of his,
like his heart to help other people, you know?
He just, he's an incredible person.
Do you feel that way about CrossFit now too? Do you feel like it is,
is that how you view what you're doing? You feel like, is that, you know,
Glassman's line, we have to care for the world's most vexing problem.
You hold that. Yeah. Is that why you guys are in the game?
You think is your, is your, is your wife a woman of servitude also?
Yeah, that's all she wants to do, be a mom and be in the gym and help people.
That's all that we really want out of it.
I don't disagree.
Listen, I listen to your podcast all the time.
So when you're talking about affiliate owners should have a nice house
and a nice car, I'm all for it.
I agree with you 100% because the happier i am the better i am in that gym as well uh but i i truly believe that each and every one of us are put here for a
certain purpose and if you find what that purpose is you follow it with everything then every day
is an amazing day i wake up every day and I'm excited to go to the gym.
And I wake up early, but I'm happy.
I'm the first one in the gym.
Sometimes Coach Allie gets there a little bit before me
if she's got a workout to do.
I'm the first one there.
I want to set the tone.
I just love to see people when they come in and greet them.
We're going to have an awesome day.
Every day in the gym is just amazing.
I'm grateful.
I'm so blessed. It's crazy.
Hey, if you go
to the supermarket right now, you'll see people
wearing masks in your hometown.
Wow.
It's hard.
Do you see that?
Yeah. Not very many many probably like one person for every hundred the midwest is completely different we don't not very many people fuck around with that
still how many do you see do you see half i know i wouldn't say lately closer to because
uh there's been like a flu slash covid going around again which is just
whatever or fall sickness whatever it is uh so then you start to see it creep up quite a bit
i still catch people driving alone in their cars with them i see that in my town too i see that
every day now in my town i see people driving yeah it's not it's crazy is that that can't be good for you i wonder where they're getting their information from where they think it's not what's crazy is that that can't be good for you
I wonder where they're getting their information
from where they think it's okay to cover your face
and breathe your shit all day
no
dildo
ain't nobody wearing them in West Virginia
listen you guys don't even you guys can't even afford
one mask you guys have one mask
your whole time you rotate it
you guys don't even have teeth yeah you guys yeah yeah we're talking about civilized areas your name is dildo
oh geez the other thing that's the other thing that's interesting is all of these people who are
um getting the palestinians killed all in college campuses around the country
by saying
free Palestine.
Those groups, when I see those
photos, it looks like 20% of those kids are
masked. That's another thing I
can't... When I went to college,
our whole thing is like walk around and smoke
weed wherever you want.
The whole thing was the middle finger to the man.
Yeah.
It's flipped right on the other end yeah
the same people that are wearing masks are probably
smoking weed in the evening too
oh for sure
they look horrible
everyone looks horrible
no 51 year old man should look better than you
have you been to Haiti?
No, my, my brother, my brother is the one who went to Haiti.
So in 2010, after the first major earthquake there,
he, he just came home one day and he looked,
we lived together at that time. And he's like Dan I'm I'm going I'm
going to Haiti I gotta do something and to me I was like what is happening what do you mean yeah
bad idea bad idea yeah yeah so uh he's like I feel like God wants me to go to Haiti and do something
and what do you say to that I said all right well let's uh you know have at it and uh he went down brother a younger brother younger brother
we're about a year and a half apart uh his name's mike he's uh so he's got a huge heart too and as
soon as he got he's got a huge heart and he's one of the most stubborn human beings on planet earth
all at the same time and when something's locked in he's gone so he left uh he found uh some type of mission
that was going up there and uh he booked a plane ticket went down when he got there some guys tried
to uh basically kidnap him but somebody uh who was in the mission found him and grabbed him and got him uh from getting in this car um and uh yeah so he lands
he lands in port-au-prince yeah yeah and some dudes try to kidnap him yeah like three guys came
up started pushing him towards the car saying oh we're here to take you um to where you gotta go
and they're just pushing him towards this car and he's like you know you're talking about like we
like we live in the suburbs you know what i mean like he doesn't he's i don't and he's like you know you're talking about like we like we live in the
suburbs you know what i mean like he doesn't he's i don't think he's got no street smarts he has no
idea what's going he feels like god told him to go to haiti so he's in haiti and three dudes are
like you know god's got him a car yeah yeah exactly exactly yeah three bodyguards yeah so then um you
know god had his back enough to have somebody from
the mission saw what was happening ran over grabbed him and said listen you go in that car
you ain't coming back um they're gonna either try to ransom you or kill you so uh he ended up where
he was supposed to go and he spent um weeks there helping rebuild orphanage and a bunch of houses and stuff like that.
And when he got back, I remember him just looking at me and he's like, it's not enough.
You have to see the kids, man.
It was like visibly changed.
And he just started just selling his stuff on like Kijiji and like sending the money down to this mission.
What's Kijiji? That's Canadian eBay? Yeah, exactly. his stuff on like kijiji and like sending the money down to this mission and you know
canadian ebay yeah exactly it's so he just started selling his stuff whatever he had he's like i'm selling it it's i gotta help these kids i gotta help these kids and so then he started this
uh foundation called the dream dealer to be able to uh yeah there you go that's kijiji you can buy and sell anything in canada
sounds racist yeah it's also like you meet the worst people on kijiji um but yeah so
he started wait what did you he started what dream what the dream dealer so he wanted something where
these kids are like it was the kids that changed him the most being what they were going through um and
he just he's like i want them to be able to have hope to be able to um to be able to have a way
out of all this uh so he started it and he he was working at the time at uh our local golf course and he would do this charity tournament every year and as his business
grew which he owns a landscape uh landscape business he just kept helping things build and
grow down there and we have a guy who is a Haitian who lives down there with the kids
him and his wife we have the school is that that your brother? I know that's one of the volunteers there. That's my brother right there
If you go back I was gonna say man, he looks young
That's him there with the foot joy. I don't in the back sack. That's yeah, that's gotta be
50 almost
14 years ago now, so
How wait so oh, yes, so 2010 wow yeah a long time yeah and
you know it's a trip for people who don't know haiti share haiti's a trip man haiti is on an
island with dominican republic they share the same island and there's some crazy crazy social
class issues there.
Basically, everyone there is black, but the lighter black you are, the higher you are up on the class scale.
So they have this crazy – it's like so bizarre, their class system.
It's nuts.
Do you know that that's the only successful – Haiti's the only successful slave colony that rebelled against their slave owners and won?
Did you know that?
I didn't know that.
And do you know that we got – we bought half the United States.
What was that called when we bought half the United States from the French?
Louisiana Purchase.
Yeah, the Louisiana Purchase. If I remember my history right, we got the Louisiana Purchase because the French were trying to raise money to try to get Haiti back because they were fighting with Haiti.
It's a trip, man.
It is a trip.
And, man, the economy there is fucked.
The Dominicans are basically the light-skinned black,
and the Haitians are the dark-skinned black.
And there's just like this fucking case system.
Is that what it's called?
I've been there a few times working with malnourished children.
It's a trip.
And the Haitians in Dominican Republic, those poor fuckers,
they have no ID, nothing.
Dominican Republic won't even recognize them as real
people.
Yeah, it's not. Is India, I've been to India
a bunch too. I know they have a case system, but is it by
skin color?
Haiti's
filled with voodoo. Shut the fuck up, Mr.
Burns. Okay,
so he's been doing that for 14 years.
Is he married to a Haitian woman?
No, no, he's married to a Haitian woman? No, no.
He's married to a German woman, Colleen,
who has this beautiful heart and same thing, just loves it.
They have four kids.
I could tell you another story about they were trying to adopt
and they wouldn't get vaccinated,
so the Canadian government wouldn't let them adopt. and they had bought a bigger house in a bigger car and had set up everything so that
they could adopt children and because they wouldn't get vaccinated they took them off the
list that they had been on for a long time so my brothers just imagine that think of that someone
Imagine that. Think of that. Someone who wants to help a child.
It's mind-boggling to me. That's who you want to have a child.
He literally bought a bigger house because there was like all these – the list of things that he had to be able to prove that he had enough rooms for another child, that he had a big enough car, that he made enough money. And he did everything on this this list and he'd been on the list for a while
uh before covet ever happened and then as as soon as he him his wife and decided they were not going
back they just took them off the list they decided that they weren't worthy so he the blessing I guess out of it is They got pregnant again and now
Oh that's cool
Is that number five
That's number four
I'm guessing they'll go number five
Like they just want to have as many kids
As possible
Wow crazy
He's got a huge heart
And now you're doing
A fundraiser for your brother's uh what's it
called dream what's the dream dealer dream dealer yeah tell me about that you're doing and that's
how that's how you and i started talking we were started talking about this dream dealer 12 hour
echo bike ride yeah so um after the charity golf tournament this year i was just talking to my
my brother about the um just like how things were going in haiti and and how the money was going and
he's just talking about you know since covid it's harder to get him it's hard to get a lot of people
to these golf tournaments and uh he's been funding just a lot of it from out of pocket and so um i
was like you know what i can do something
i can do something way better than that so i just i stuck out a little thing to my members and i'm
like listen guys i'll i'll echo bike one calorie per dollar that you give me over a 12-hour period
and whatever we raise i'm gonna i'll bike it off. And so I don't know, maybe my members just
want to see me suffer for 12 hours, but the money started coming in. And so we're over $5,000 now.
Shit. That's dope. Yeah. Yeah. It's awesome. People like, again, I don't know if they love
me or hate me, but either way I'm it we're going with it right it's uh the
goal is 7 000. so i can i think i can physically do 7 000 calories in in 12 hours uh it's about
a 59 rpm pace on the echo bike throughout that time uh so we're gonna we're gonna put on the
line people outside do you have a gofundme page, so if you go to that website you had up, the dreamdealer.org,
there's a donate button, and you can just donate straight.
Mike will get the notification, and then he tells me,
and we got a list up of who's donated and how many calories I'm in for.
So if people donate an additional, if like $50,
if people donate an additional $50 from this podcast,
you have to do an extra $50 calories.
You got it.
Yeah.
Can we post the link in the somewhere,
Caleb?
Yeah,
I can put it in the bio and the chat if you like.
Oh yeah.
That'd be awesome.
Yeah.
That'd be so cool.
What do they do with the money there?
What do they do with the money in Haiti?
What's your dream deal?
Yeah, so there's
a house.
It's like a
community center slash
orphanage slash school
and
Vlad, who is our main guy, him and his wife there um there's
over a hundred you named vlad lives in haiti and runs it yeah i know it sounds like a russian name
but he's definitely haitian oh he's a black dude he's not a white dude no he's he's very haitian
yeah he's super black and got a French, one of those cool French accents.
So him and his wife, yeah, they run this community center and we take care of like 100 kids,
food, clothing, schooling. Schooling is super expensive if you're going to send kids anywhere there. And usually they'll get a couple of weeks in and then their parents can't afford anymore.
And then they just end up dropping out.
So like we take care of all that stuff for these kids
and give them the opportunity to get an education.
But also we bring in specialists that will teach them,
like we have a bread baking oven now.
So we'll teach them how to bake bread
and we can make food for them
and they can go to the market and sell the food.
We brought in
somebody who taught the women how to sew and make clothes or to repatch up clothes or to sell
different things like that um and yeah that like all the money goes into that uh house and and
those programs for those kids to be able to have that opportunity. The the gangs in that area are like it's out of control.
So a lot of these kids, when they don't have that opportunity to either go
to school or learn how to do a trade or something like that, they just end up
in these gangs and like even for Vlad to go to the market to sell the bread.
He has to pass through gangs and he has
to pay them off as he goes to be able to sell his bread in the market it's just a it's a whole different world a whole
different way um and so just seeing how are the free palestine protests going in haiti yeah
exactly they're getting shot up by the gangs i don't know hey you know another interesting
thing is
I talk about this on the show
in Africa like if you ask someone what they are
no one says they're black and like
you never confuse a Kenyan with
a Somali dude or
Sudanese people have their own look or there's
black dudes there's the whole black culture there that look
like they're Asian.
Same with Haitians.
No Haitian dudes.
Like I'm black.
He's fucking Haitian.
And you all know,
their hair is different.
There's nuances to their hair.
You know,
the same way there's nuances between my fucking middle Eastern hair and
Chinese people's hair,
even though it's like all straight.
Right.
But it's like,
it, that is that, that's a pretty strong rooted
uh it's not haitian is not only a nationality it's an ethnicity like those people look like
those fucking people i saw um slater called them super black yeah they have their own skin color
their own yeah it's cool as shit. What a tragedy that it's
so fucking hostile there. I wonder if there's any hope
for that island.
Yeah, I don't even know where
you would begin
to change that whole system around.
You know?
Those poor
kids, man.
You know what's cool is to see the videos that Vlad
sends because they'll watch
the yeah it's just everyone's the kids will watch survival mode yeah yeah but that that community
center and that that house is like this kind of safe haven for them where they can go and they
can learn and they can like uh glad we'll have them they'll see like a video on the story on his phone
from the gym and the kids will be doing like wall walks and burpees and it's just a safe place for
them to be a kid to have something to eat to learn you know some math to not be harassed by the gangs
it's uh you know that's that's what we're trying to trying to do and to give these kids just a little bit of an opportunity.
What a wild place to live.
Let me see the map again.
People talk about how you can't get out of Gaza.
I bet you I get out of Gaza before I get off of Haiti.
Man.
Hey, why doesn't your brother hey why doesn't your brother why doesn't your brother oh oh man it is close to
cuba yeah why why doesn't your brother i don't know why i'm asking this i'm just curious why
doesn't your brother fall into dominican republic and then drive into Haiti. No one does that.
If you're going to Haiti, that's what I thought
he would have done.
I don't know. That's a good question.
I could ask him.
I don't know if there's anything at the border that's
stopping you from moving through
or not.
What airline does he fly? Do you know? Who goes there?
I have no idea. It's been a while since he's been back do you have any desire to go i yeah i i would 100 go with him and
go to uh where that where the house is and especially if there was some like work to be
done like build something new uh i'd love to do something like that um what's the i i
wonder if there is a is there an affiliate in haiti there isn't no way i doubt it would be
cool but i don't there isn't even one in armenia nuts hey um um uh during during all i live in this
you know this bubble where we're always like, look, watching what HQ is doing.
Does any of that register with you at Radix,
or you guys just have your head down, pay your affiliate fees,
and just keep helping people?
I think there's two sides of that as an affiliate owner.
One, I feel like I have this – like if there was no crossfit what i wouldn't have met my wife
i wouldn't have had like a second um like who knows what i would have done i was very almost
i wasn't completely depressed but i was depressed that i couldn't work out and i had
you know this athletic career that was come to a complete end and also in crossfit gave me this you know outlet to for
myself to how to you know methodology i had to train my clients uh and then i met my wife and
then you know so crossfit has this very special place for me um so i never not once have ever
thought like oh i'm not paying my affiliate. It's not worth it because everything that's happened in my life because of
CrossFit has, is more like, you know,
I can double that payment and I would have been, you know,
very blessed because of it, you know? So there's that side of things.
I do, I do miss the Greg Glassman CrossFit, you know,
what steps they're taking in the right direction or wrong direction with the people they're hiring.
And I just it's nothing I can control.
So it's nothing that I'm going to spend too much time worrying about or doing.
And I know I have a personal responsibility to my affiliate, to my people and those in that affiliate.
my affiliate to my people and those in that affiliate and so i'm gonna keep you know doing what i'm doing and preaching what i believe is is the right thing to do for your health and your
body which to me is crossfit so it you know the if they're going to raise the affiliate fees it is
what it is i don't know exactly what their plan is with how they're going to use that money or if they're just trying to make more money and make it a more profitable business. I don't know.
It's the same thing with the open. Why did they go to 25%? Are they trying to make more
money or is it trying to give people more of an opportunity to feel like they're going to
go further in the season? All those kinds of things you know but what i'm hearing you
say is you're very thankful that there is the methodology you're very thankful for yourself
you're very thankful that you get to train other people you're enjoying your life you watch it from
afar it's not in your control um i'm adding this maybe you're glad that there's people out there,
like all the podcasts and stuff,
keeping you up to date.
But at the end of the day, you're going to keep showing up to work early,
serving your clients,
and no one's going to stop.
As long as they're not stopping you from doing that,
you're all good.
But do you enjoy watching the drama?
Yeah, it's fun.
Like even the Rich Bronings,
you know, like I follow all that stuff. I just think it's like, the rich browning you know like i follow all that i follow all that
stuff i just think it's like people are like you know people must not have a lot of other things
in their life when they can you know watch a guy go hunting and then absolutely lose their mind
over it you know but um i follow it all i i enjoy to see what's happening and uh i'm just i'm a fan
too right so like with the crossfit games and the athletes like i'm at the end of the day i love I enjoy to see what's happening. And I'm just, I'm a fan too, right?
So like with the CrossFit Games and the athletes,
like at the end of the day, I love watching it.
And, you know, I love to hear what Hiller's got to say about it.
You know, I'm just a big fan of the sport in itself.
And I think that it's good. The more attention we can bring to crossfit will be be good you know the more you can show people what people's bodies are actually
you know capable of doing when they uh want to you know like even what i've i've you know i've been
um in the martial arts scene since i was 16. Before that, I played rep hockey and baseball.
So I've been playing sports at a higher level
and competing at a high level for my whole life.
And just being like into something every day
that you're seeing how it's progressing.
And I just, I think it's an amazing thing
are you ufc fan oh yeah yeah i'm so i went the reason that i went to start kickboxing in the
first place is i watched the first season of tough so you remember that on yeah yeah and i'm like i was like i'm this this is what it's about i'm
done playing hockey it's like get so i got in the gym and some like hundred and like i was you know
decently built to play sports all my life uh some 130 pound like 40 year old man choked me out in a nogi nogi grappling class they had at the time in like
20 seconds and i remember laying there thinking like what what happened what just happened to me
and uh i was like just hooked that first class i'm like this is the greatest sport ever known to man
so i started showing up there every day multiple times a day uh i'd get it was right
across from my dad's work so i'd go into to work with him sometimes and go to go there and then he
would drop me off at school and then i'd come home from school and then i would go back to the gym and
i was doing muay thai i was doing boxing i was doing every type of, like, they had something called CSW,
which is combat submission wrestling, kind of before there was MMA.
That was, like, one of the big things.
So I did that class because they let us, like, really go at it in that class.
And I, like, lived in that gym and in that world for a long time.
And I'm still involved.
I still get to train boxers mma guys uh and i just
yeah i always be a fan you hold gloves i don't hold pads after i had shoulder surgery in 2017
i don't hold pads after after shoulder surgery it's just some of those guys can like tear your
shoulder right off holding for your son oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah and your daughters yeah i'll hold a whole pads for i still will hold pads for even like
some of the kids around the gym if they want to let their hands go a little bit yeah that's cool
what a cool skill to have to be able to hold pads oh yeah yeah it's fun and when they get when they
can start to put together like head movement
you know slip come back with the cross and you have that flow going on oh yeah and you should
see the look in their eyes as they start to realize they have this like superpower they
never knew they had right yeah so yeah yeah i love i love that i i'm a little of my of the people who
hold pads for my kids because i can tell they're they're
like dancing with my kids yeah and they do do all that the parries the kicks and they add new moves
and the the clinches and the spinning kicks and they're like they're communicating and i i i can't
even communicate with my kids like that it's cool yeah i had a kid uh who was born without um these three fingers here he
just had his pointer finger and he couldn't his parents couldn't really figure out a way for him
to play many sports so we just wrapped up his hands put some boxing gloves on it and you want
to see a little guy with little hands that move faster than you've ever seen in your life
it was the greatest and it was like when those gloves were on he was
like he was more than anything he ever thought he was you know and he just let him go slip boom boom
you know it was it was just incredible to watch uh it's like watching you know those videos where
kids can hear for the first time and their eyes like light up and stuff like that it was like it
was like watching that happen
it's like he he's like realized that these hands were meant for something you know he couldn't
grab stuff but he could light somebody up if he wanted to so it's uh amazing and what uh dan is
there a biggest um health turnaround story in your gym and the reason why i bring this up is
we've established you have professional athletes in your gym and the reason why i bring this up is we've
established you have professional athletes in your gym but you have any people who've like you know
lost a crazy amount of weight or came in and they couldn't even jump to a two inch box and now
they're jumping to a 24 inch box yeah we had an so we had an amazing year actually my dad lost 105
pounds holy shit yeah wow so we had one of those heart to hearts at the beginning of the
year i said listen like you're my hero but uh you got three grandkids that also need a hero so
this is gonna change uh and my dad's got like really bad asthma so we had to you know obviously
get his diet dialed in first. That was the first thing.
And then we upped how much he walked every day.
So he was only walking like 3,000 or 4,000 steps.
He got to the point where he was walking 20,000 steps a day.
And then it just got to where I would call him, like, what are you doing?
He's like, I'm watching TV.
I'm like, all right, stand up.
And he's like, okay.
I'm like, sit back down.
I'm like, you just did a squat.
Now do that 20 more times, and then you're going to rest, and we're going to do that three sets tonight, and that's like okay i'm like sit back down i'm like you just did a squat now do that 20 more times
and then you're gonna rest and we're gonna do that three sets the night and that's it and we
just kind of built a flow off of that and then the competitive side of himself started coming out so
i'd get screenshots like look i did 22 000 steps today i did 23 000 steps today and then uh by the
time september came around he was over the uh from
january to september over 100 pounds and now he's at the point where we're like you know what let's
put a little bit try to put some muscle on it on him a bit you know start to lift a little bit
heavier and focus on um just being healthier and stronger as he gets older he's 63 uh so there was
that and then i have uh sorry he lost 105 pounds
what did he go he went from 300 to 200 yeah he started off at 317 yeah dude that is amazing dude
hey man i don't think people realize that's that's twice as hard as losing weight 100 pounds when you're 35.
Oh, yeah.
Like way, way, way, way, way, way, way harder.
That's crazy.
How's his asthma?
Did that clear up significantly?
There was two things. One is he would keep getting his right leg kept getting infected and swollen,
and his feet would swell up like crazy.
And the doctors couldn't figure out why,
and they wanted to put him in a bunch of different pills.
And I,
I remember having this conversation.
I'm like that.
Don't take the pills.
Just,
just give me three months.
And then if you have to take the pills up,
just give me three months first,
no pills.
And in that three,
first three month period time,
all the swelling out of his legs gone,
completely gone.
The one leg didn't
swell up anymore. He wasn't getting this like reoccurring infection that they kept telling him
he was getting all that swelling gone. And to me, it was just inflammation based off the crap he was
eating, right? So his system is just like in a constant state of inflammation, too much sugar,
you know, obviously not enough protein, not enough movement. And so after three months, went back to his doctor.
His doctor's like, your blood pressure is fine now.
You know, we don't need to do any of these pills.
So he was totally good with that.
And he went from taking his puffer like 10 to 12 times a day down to like two times a day.
So he doesn't have to take his puffer nearly as much.
He has asthma attacks like way less
often he just moves around he looks he looks like probably six or seven years younger than he did
when we started uh it's did your kids say anything to him yeah well my my six you know kids right my
six-year-old he's uh because we would do every every Sunday, my dad would come in for a weigh-in,
and he would stand on the scale.
And then I remember like the third week, my dad left at least,
and my son looks at me and he goes, Opa's pretty fat.
I'm not arguing with you, right?
But then we celebrated the 100-pound weight loss mark.
Yeah.
And he looked at my dad and he goes, Opa, you don't have that fat stomach anymore.
And my dad just smiled like, nope, it's gone.
So the kids do notice.
My son, my six-year-old notices a lot of things.
He had some like eczema going on his stomach.
So my wife was looking at it and, like, around his abdomen there.
And he's like, what are you looking at, mom?
And she's like, oh, just looking at the bumps on your stomach here.
And he's like, oh, are mine coming in?
And she's like, what are you talking about?
He's like, are my abs coming in and she's like what are you talking about she's like are my abs coming in
like daddy's so he thought he was he thought he was getting his six pack yeah that's awesome
so they they know this man they know this hey um when obby was young um this is a total side note
i would feed him uh uh perfect those peanut butter perfect bars sometimes
okay yeah and he and that was like besides that he didn't eat any processed shit or sugar
and i noticed that every time i fed him those he broke out in red bumps
wasn't the peanut butter at all no it wasn't the peanut butter it's the sugar and it was the sugar
or the honey or something and it was just it was because because
he he could just if he if i just gave him like just peanut butter it was fine or just honey but
whatever was in there and i just remember that and if you have really fucking healthy kids and then
you you can start spotting exactly uh uh what i mean literally it would be within 30 minutes after
i gave him one of those bars he would break out with little red dots. I was like, yeah. Yeah, um
Dude, your whole gym was affected by your dad's weight loss, right? I
Mean like everyone in the gym knows
I mean, it's got to be crazy powerful for the gym
Yeah, we had a we also had another guy uh his name's tony um he came in at 34 body fat we have a
in-body scanner um and he we did a eight week challenge block with him on his diet and stuff
uh and he just kept doing them so every eight weeks he's like we do it let's do it again let's do it again so uh yeah so here's tony here wow yeah 34 down to nine percent um and he gained lean muscle mass the other thing savannah
is he's right now yeah yeah yeah he's like uh we like he's like an older vin diesel but he's in
better shape than ben diesel is right now yeah but yeah so he this was this year uh he's kept this
off for the like the last four months he's the other things have won he he drives from uh 40
minutes out of town every morning to our 6 a.m class 40 minutes every morning to 6 a.m yeah
because he said it's just, it, you know,
I help change his life.
I'm the guy he,
because he would email me
and look for ways out
and I would just call him out on his crap.
And he ended up really appreciating the fact
that I didn't,
yeah,
here's Tony again.
Holy shit, dude.
Just like,
yeah,
Diesel, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
From Michelin to Mr. Clean. Yeah. Yeah. No. Yeah. shit dude just like yeah diesel right yeah yeah from michelin to mr clean yeah yeah no yeah give me an example would you call like he would call you in the morning or at night and be like
yeah i can't come in tomorrow i have to do this and he'd be like he would he would always show
he would always show up pretty much but he would email me like oh this is hard or um you know uh why didn't i lose a pound this
week like those i'm like you're stop being a baby man like this is not the way it works so he just
appreciated the fact that i would just call him out and be like you're just trying to make excuses
don't make excuses you just keep showing up and if you keep showing up and do what i tell you to do
i guarantee you this is going to work.
I know this works.
There's nothing that is going to stop you except for you stopping yourself from not showing up.
And he just kept showing up.
And he still shows up.
I saw him this morning at the 6 a.m. class.
He's like, oh, I listened to the 7 podcast a couple times now because you've been talking about it.
He's a good dude.
He's like – he's a lot of soul art.
He's like – he has some really good stuff on there.
But sometimes I don't know about what that guy says.
You'll come around, Tony.
You'll come around.
Just give it to him.
I said, dude, Sivan is the greatest so don't worry he looks incredible
yeah congratulations another another huge inspiration for the uh for the gym uh gym
goers he's uh he's uh he was viral around the gym for sure everybody was talking about Tony
it was like anyone come up to you and be like, hey, can you do that for me?
Yeah, 100%.
Lots of people.
And we've been working with lots of people.
I have like a list of people that this year alone
we've made very dramatic changes with.
And a lot of it's based off of seeing a Tony
or my dad, stuff like that.
And I always warn them.
I'm not trying to make it seem simple or easy that it's going to be outside of their comfort zone.
But everything in life that takes you out of your comfort zone and makes you uncomfortable is going to help you grow.
So it's important that people really lean into that and not just constantly run away from it, which I think
society has taught us to run and not lean into, you know? Is there, is there a, what eating program
are you putting these people on? So I just teach them, like I teach them how to, you know, track
their macros, but I build it out. I make it as simple as possible.
I'm like, these are simple whole foods
that you should eat for lunch,
breakfast, lunch, dinner.
Here's this is a snack.
You need to be in a bit of a calorie
deficit to make sure that we're losing
fat. We need to eat enough protein to
support all the workouts that we want
you to do. And then
the carbohydrates you eat are going to be based off of how hard or
how often you're working out.
And they're going to be complex whole,
you know,
sweet potatoes,
stuff like that.
And then we want healthy fat in your diet.
It's like,
it's a simplest process to be honest with you,
but it's amazing how many people I have to keep always telling myself,
like people have never been taught this.
They need to be retaught. You're teaching them like you're teaching a kindergarten child, you know, many people i have to keep always telling myself like people have never been taught this they need
to be retaught you're teaching them like you're teaching a kindergarten child you know their abcs
and maybe if we taught kids how to do this from the time they were you know five or six years old
they'd be in a lot better place in the future but um i just teach them the very basics of like this
is a healthy protein carb and fat
this is how much you're eating this is how much you're burning and now we can play around with whether you want to you know lose weight or maintain it or if you're trying to put on some
muscle then we're going to go into a bit of a surplus but the same the same rules apply right
it's all all healthy food stuff that uh is put here on this earth for
us to eat so yeah i mean you said it beautifully you you said it so beautifully if someone if
someone wanted to um um open an affiliate is there any any practical advice you would give them? Yeah, definitely. Or unpractical?
No. So opening an affiliate out of passion and love for CrossFit and helping people is great.
But if you have no prior business experience, then you could be in for a hard run and a lot of trouble.
Personally, I was lucky and I had a couple of mentors from my dad, first of all. And then I
have two members who own a real estate brokerage in our town, Tom and Nick Carrazza. And they're
actually pretty well known. even netflix i think
was trying to pitch a show on them and stuff but they have a huge marketing background um and just
an amazing business sense and nick is like nick became one of my best friends and we would just
like uh i had a garage gym for a while and he would come over and we would just work out together
and uh he he just taught me so many things about what it means to actually run a business, how to market something, how to sell it, how to, you know, retain those members that you're you're getting and how that process works.
So if you don't understand that, it can go.
It's very easy to open up and you can get a loan and buy equipment and sign a lease.
And you can very easily close down within the next year or two years.
Very frustrated me having made no money.
If you don't understand or have a mentor to bring you through that process.
The stuff that you were going over with Chris Cooper of Two Brain, I think, is invaluable to people who are wanting to get into this type
of thing, who don't have a business or a marketing or some type of background like that.
Because you have to fully understand what it takes to run a business to make sure you make
money. And trust me, your passion and your love for people and doing what you do can only go so far if you can't pay your mortgage or get to the gym with the vehicle that you can't afford to buy anymore.
It becomes hell on earth.
So you got to have that business background or mentor or somebody or learn the hard way.
It's kind of up to you um what about this um
are you not made for that since you want to it sounds like you have this serve mindset right
serve yes you come from a serve mindset does that does that you're in your in the business
do those bump up against each other they you so they very much used to and i'm i i think by nature i'm
uh like like a nice guy you know right and i want to pay ah so what if you don't have money for the
lights oh exactly exactly so uh which you know coming from fighting combat sports is interesting
but to me combat sports was never about hating or hurting somebody. It was a, it was a game. It was a sport, right? For me, I just enjoyed competing,
but, uh, the inside of me, I want to help people. So I was easily kind of taken advantage of, or,
uh, you know, people walked over me if they had, you know, that ability to do so uh but having the right people telling you like listen
when you make more money then you are a happier person you can do more for this gym you can bring
more to the gym um and you're not stressed out about having to pay a mortgage or that the lights
are going to turn off in the gym it it becomes better for everybody. There's absolutely no reason why you shouldn't be able to charge more to upsell people on
different services that you provide. You know, ask Tony, you know, ask Tony what that transformation
was worth. And I guarantee you is probably 10 times more than I, I charged him for that
transformation. You would have showed him a before and after picture and been like,
Hey, before he would have been like, Oh shit. Yeah. Here,
here's my credit card.
Yeah. Charge it up. Whatever it was.
Pretty much rack it up however you want to, you know?
But then going forward,
as I got better at realizing the value that I brought to people and what I'm
worth, I just kept, I haven't had any problems raising my rates,
raising what I charge people to work with me personally,
because I have confidence in what I'm bringing to them and what that's worth
to them in their life. And it's still, you know, it's still,
I still feel like I bring more value than, than I get paid, but I get paid very well now.
And it took a process of, you know, coming out of that mindset of like, Oh, I'm just here to help
people to knowing that, you know, again, I can't help them if those lights get shut off, shut down,
or that gym gets shut down. And like I said, I think there's not just CrossFit affiliates, but there's
been five different gyms that have shut down in Oakville, Ontario, where we are just over the last
like six to eight months. And it's a crazy real estate market here and landlords are jacking up
prices. CrossFit gyms? I think three affiliates and then a orange theory and uh
some like some guy who had his kind of his own soul thing i just keep getting people coming like
oh this gym shut down then they they search and they find me this gym sit down this year and i
just have these people coming from everywhere because these gyms just keep shutting down uh
all over the place so uh again i don't
want to be one of those people so i need to make sure that i got all my everything that i need in
order and i need to make enough money to do it and i've you know none of my members would ever
ever complain to me about how much they spend because we we just we have we give so much
um and we have such an awesome atmosphere and i
have the like i have amazing coaches and such a great community of people um once you once you're
in that community it's it's amazing place to be and i don't think there's any better place in all
of oakville to be or even all the gta to be on a 6 a.m any morning like my my head coach tyler is the
the craziest amazing human being you'll ever meet in your life i walked in in the gym this morning
5 a.m and i guess he had found somebody dropped off these old looking chucky dolls in the back
dumpster and he had set them up on my on my desk chairs like staring at me and it's five a.m in the morning
and i i was like this guy but that's him he he uh he comes in the gym every morning and he'll scream
every single person's name who's in that gym out loud like calling them out one at a time
good morning tanya good morning tony good morning and just like
and all of a sudden this energy is like boom everywhere and everybody's smiling everybody's
like okay you know it's time to time to go and i'm just telling you there's no better place to
be at 6 a.m anywhere than in our affiliate when that energy just kind of hits you know
what what a cool thing for what's the name of the town that,
that your gym's in Radix is in.
It's in Oakville, Oakville, Ontario.
Yeah.
Think about how, what a positive influence that is on,
on your community,
all the people who come in there and leave their healthier and with a more
positive vibe. It's crazy.
There's a,
I think one of the kids has a skateboard instructor right
and he's and he was a former professional skateboarding and the learning curve on
skateboarding is so fucking hard and the risk of injury is massive and so if you could teach
let's say you had the clientele and you could teach four private one hour skateboarding lessons a week or a day, that would be insane, right?
That's a lot of fucking uptime to be teaching skateboarding at a super high
level. If you charge a hundred dollars per class, that's $400 a day, right?
And so that's $2,000 a week. And then let's say there's 12,
let's say there's four weeks in a month and that's 12 months.
I know it's a little back of the napkin math, but you basically end up with, what is it?
12, wait, 2,000, 8,000 a month times 12.
That's $106,000 a year, right?
Dude, you can't fucking, like you cannot, in the Bay Area, you cannot get ahead for 106 000 a fucking year you cannot you
can poverty line for a family of four is 120 000 here where i live in california the poverty line
and uh i mean it it's um yeah it's crazy how lucky we are when we have people who are really
good at their craft like you in our community and we can get to them.
You know what I mean?
Like people in your vicinity, within the vicinity of a great CrossFit coach or a great CrossFit gym, it's nuts.
Yeah, it's absolutely nuts.
It's worth every penny.
I'm so glad.
You sound like you've been exceedingly successful a great year. Well,
a lot of the world is just, you know, twiddling their thumbs.
And I'm so happy to hear your story, dude.
Yeah, it's, it's been, this is a, so two years during COVID,
I worked for my brother, Mike, uh, in the landscaping company that he owns.
So when, when they shut us down, um,
during COVID and deemed us
unessential to people's lives, we had a good core group of people who would pay
for like a Zoom class. And then I felt that I needed to make sure I took care of
Tyler because he was my head guy. He'd been there for me from the beginning. So I
had him coach all the Zoom classes, made sure that he was able to still make a
living. I went and worked for my brother for eight to 12 hour landscapeships for two
years. And we kept everything going, you know, like kept the classes going.
I rented out every single piece of equipment out of that gym so people could take it home
and do their Zoom classes.
of equipment out of that gym so people could take it home and do their zoom classes um and then uh
this is our first full year back and being in that like i'm telling you siobhan you cut people's grass for two years straight and do that kind of stuff and then you get back in your affiliate and
you get to do what you love you'll never ever go into that gym again in an angry mood or regretting anything you've ever done because
it's everything and anything you wanted to do so this is our first full year back and just to see
how crazy and quick things went from just like kind of breaking even and and barely you know
holding on uh to being profitable and everything kind of, you know, working in the
right direction again. It's just a testament, I think, to what CrossFit is and the people
who end up being in these communities and the core of all that. I'm telling you, I think if
you met me a year ago and you asked me about it, I'd be a totally different person, but it's changed, changed me,
changed my perspective and how lucky and grateful I am for every day in that
place, man. I tell the, I tell people all the time,
I write it on our Instagram stories.
Like I'll go in on a Sunday and mop that gym down and I'll post like,
I'm just so happy to be here.
I'm so grateful for each and
every one of those people man awesome um in um in the in the eight years you've owned the affiliate
is it do you have the most clients now that you've ever had uh so right right before covid
was we were definitely at our highest point um and we're probably like
90 there now after yeah so it's it's a good place and honestly the if there's one good thing about
covet it it brought out um a bunch of people around me who obviously didn't hold the same
beliefs that i did and it sipped them out and it got them out of my life and that for that i'm also forever grateful uh yes yeah i had a you know i had i had a coach who
uh lost his mind on me because i didn't post a black square um called me all kinds of stuff you
know it was a rough time during that time um my my wife rach uh just had a miscarriage and i have
this coach who's you know calling me
all kinds of things including a racist because i didn't post a black square and i'm working a
12-hour day landscaping shift i don't even know what was going on that day
i still didn't post a black square but yes like
oh i'm sorry i'm working so hard that I can't vote for Black Square.
I'm sure you don't understand.

outside of Toronto
doesn't like to wear masks while he works out
I mean me and him are on the same page
dad brings home
fucking homeless people what a
fucking weirdo
didn't Rich and the boys do
24 hours outside the Waffle House?
They did, but
it was like sectioned.
I don't think they did it
24 hours straight. I don't think Rich really killed
that
bear.
You don't think so?
No. Why not?
I just think it's fake
i think it's i think it's a fake you know like people like airbrush their abs i think that's a
fake uh i think that's not even a real i think he's just like showing off you think that's a
chat gpt image ai image dude someone needs to put me over a bear. Can you just ask chat GPT, show someone with a dead bear?
God, I'd probably cry if I saw that.
Oh, my God.
I did something so stupid last night.
You know how Greg said in last night's show, Greg's like,
trust is built through predictability, right?
So you trust your weather app on your iPhone because it's predictable or you don't trust it because it's not predictable
right trust is just predictability you trust your wife because she can't every night you come home
and she's in bed with you if like for a couple nights a week she's not there like that predictability
goes out the door you start like your trust kind of gets weird gets a little squirrely right okay yeah so trust and predictability like they go hand in hand you see
it right right yeah like i know that my wife will make coffee for me in the morning so i trust that
i'm gonna have coffee first thing in the morning i'm out to make it that kind of thing yeah or if
one day the sun didn't come up the fucking everyone would panic like that would be yeah yeah you predict
that the sun will be up so you trust that it'll be up such trust it's just like take it for granted
so i have this so i have this relationship with like um
hillar the, very trustworthy relationship.
And last night as a prank,
I posted a video on his YouTube channel.
And that's so out of character for me. Right.
So out of character for me.
Like,
I can't even,
when I did it,
I was like,
it was like 11 o'clock at night.
Like,
I'm like,
I can't like, it was a video I posted on my YouTube channel,
but I also had access to his YouTube channel
from some other shit we had partnered on before.
And so I clicked.
So I became unpredictable, and it affected our trust.
Man, he had to have a strength.
We had a fucking man-to-man this morning.
Yeah, I bet he wasn't too stoked about that, huh?
No. I thought he would i could
i thought he thought we might think it was funny but he's a he's like he's a very disciplined
creature of habit and he has a plan for everything and it didn't man it was intense it was it was an
intense 15 minute um 15 minutes yeah 15 well i talked to him for
probably 20 minutes but 15 minutes of it was like five minutes of it was like us like but then
afterwards i didn't think it was a big deal but then afterwards i was like oh fuck now i'm
unpredictable to him and so i've probably damaged a little bit of our trust yeah do you know what i mean right so now that sucks
i don't know if one of those things i don't know if he bent me over but i grabbed my ankles i felt
so bad he didn't take it so good he didn't take it bad but he didn't take it so good
he didn't take it so good he don He probably changed the password on his account.
I bet you he didn't.
Locked you out of the house.
Changed the locks.
Hiller sunned you.
What's that mean?
Like how to talk to me, son?
Son?
Yeah.
I woke up to a pretty...
I wish I could have seen his face when he opened his YouTube page and saw it.
Yeah, I wonder how he even noticed that.
I wonder I should call him. I wonder why he didn't think it was an accident.
He's very analytical. All that mattered to me was is that he knew that I didn't do it with any like malicious intent like right um for now on i call him daddy hiller
let me out let me i'm gonna i'll call him and ask him oh how did you how did you not know that
it was on purpose and not let me call him ask him maybe he did maybe he did know that you were being unpredictable,
that you can be unpredictable.
Let me see.
Oh, he probably.
Oh, shit.
He probably read the comment where you said you did it on purpose.
Oh, yeah, that's fine.
That's true.
Good point, Pedro.
I forgot about I was in the comments, too.
Pedro I forgot about I was in the comments too
someone goes someone wrote outed yourself someone wrote in the comments
is Hiller testing shorter content
and I write no I'm testing our friendship
oh no
oh
cave to astro did Hiller call the cops on you Oh, no. Oh.
Cave to Astro.
Did Hiller call the cops on you?
Maybe.
What if the cops came to my house and they're like, do you know Andrew Hiller?
He goes, yeah, he's reported you for posting on his YouTube channel.
No, I think we're good.
I was also imagining him telling his wife, Alexis.
Yeah.
I think she knows everything.
Dude, what the fuck?
Sevan posted on my YouTube channel.
You think he talked to her first and then called you?
He didn't call me.
He just sent me a text.
Oh.
Yeah.
You think he talked to her before he texted you?
It wasn't harsh like you fucking asshole he's like what's up with that
when he called when we're talking i'm like oh sorry dude i was just fucking around and i go
you can take it down he goes it's down i'm like go ahead he's like it was like i'm in control of
his channel you can take it down from your channel if you want.
Oh, my goodness.
But really, the only thing I was thinking about is I was thinking about how apropos it was,
how germane it was to last night's conversation with Greg.
to last night's conversation with Greg because really predictability
is apropos
with reference to, concerning to, appropriate to a particular situation
yeah, I did call him, he didn't answer
it
because that's what makes good that's what allows trust
is predictability that's how you trust people if they become if they're predictable that's the
thing too um that's the nuance by the way so if you have a friend some people don't like people
who like always lie or who always do things that like they don't like but
as long for me as long as they're predict like on some level if they're predictable that's the thing
with shame on me the first uh shame on you the first time shame on me the second time like it's
okay if you have friends who have behaviors you don't like you just have to accept them and just that's part of it. No,
I don't,
he's not,
um,
no,
no,
he's not really pissed at me.
If he was listening,
he would probably just come on the show.
Now he can do that.
That's the other thing. It goes both ways for him. He has. Yeah. Yeah. He can come on my show and he can do that that's the other thing it goes both ways for him he has
yeah yeah he can come on my show and he can do that yeah i always find it interesting that he
just doesn't maybe i'm sure he's pretty busy but i always found it funny like if we were talking
about him and he's like in the comments or like he could just show up whenever you want. Yeah. He had a handful of times. I'd say he has.
Yeah, sure.
Yeah.
Someone.
Did you see the new proven?
HQ?
No.
Who cares?
I see the sun is out and it's supposed to rain today.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
No sun here.
This is very interesting.
What's today?
Thursday.
Oh, shut up and scribbles on.
Wow, that's beautiful.
Yeah, it's crazy.
Wow.
Wow, good on them. That ductwork alone is probably like 15 grand. That's crazy. Wow. Wow.
Good on them.
That ductwork alone is probably like 15 grand.
Wow.
That is so beautiful.
I'm not a fan of the black,
but wow,
that is beautiful.
Wow.
Congrats to those guys.
Weren't we just talking about how there weren't affiliates that there weren't
like black affiliates,
like affiliates that painted their walls black.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. We were just, what do you know? painted their walls black. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We were just.
What do you know?
Yeah.
Athena Perez.
Yeah, that's beautiful.
Speaking of darker colors, somebody suggested to me that I paint the ceiling, the wood on the ceiling.
And I was like, no, I'm not touching the ceilings.
And then they sent me like a bunch of pictures of painted wood ceilings very similar to mine I was like damn
I think you're right maybe I will paint it
it fucked me up
yeah yeah that's that's nice
Dan Guerrero
seems a bit tight for space
I think he's being sarcastic but
are the ceilings high enough for ropes
I think so I don't know it looks
if anything they're at least 15 feet
one of those gyms where you have to touch the rafter to make it a full 15 foot rope climb
it does look high enough I think so let see. There's a person right there.
Let's say they're six feet tall.
Did Pedro...
Two of those in there.
Did Pedro find his dad knocked out?
I don't think he found him knocked out.
I think he found him...
With a broken back.
Yeah.
Oh, he was on his way.
Oh.
I'm wondering if, like, he found his dad, like, just with a broken back on the ground and he had to come save his dad.
Looks 20 feet.
No shit.
All right.
I hope his dad's okay I think Pedro's dad's older or younger than me
I think I'm the same age as John Young's dad
How old are you again?
51
Oh
You're probably
Older than Pedro's dad
That's weird I also don't know how old Pedro is Uh, Oh, you're probably older than Pedro's dad.
That's weird.
I also don't know how old Pedro is. So,
Oh,
five years ago.
That was five years ago that it happened.
that his dad fell.
Yeah.
Oh,
I had a feeling it wasn't like yesterday.
He said it in the chat.
Oh,
Oh wow.
His dad's 75. Oh, wow. His dad's 75.
Oh, your dad's old as shit.
Yeah, what the fuck?
Well, his dad's like almost as old as my dad.
He said, so you're older for sure.

That was five years ago damn

I do not fucking look like I'm 75.
What the fuck are you talking about?
Hey, but I have
been out with my mom and people thought
we were married.
And people do think that my kids are my grandkids.
They're like tentative on like
I'm guessing Pedro's
34?
God, I can't imagine having kids at Pedro's
age. That's a disappointing accident imagine having kids at Pedro's age.
That's a disappointing accident, he said.
Is Pedro's wife pregnant again?
I don't know.
How about that Grill Your Ass Off logo?
That's too small.
Yeah, I agree.
It says veteran owned.
Texas made?
Oh, he's 34.
What do you know?
My mom does look young.
My mom does not look like she has a 51-year-old son.
Maybe like a 41-year-old son.
That'd be crazy if Pedro's mom was Anna Nicole Smith.
Wow. Wow.
Jeez.
I told you guys about Paper Street Coffee, the Black Friday sale. I think you mentioned
it at the beginning, but
three teas for the price of one.
That's going to be a really small window.
Isn't there another promotion
for somebody else, too?
Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.
I think for Wolverine. Yes yes thank you for telling me that oh
that's good that's important let me pull up the live call and that's god i can't believe how good
dan thesen was he could have been a always all i'd say 90 of the affiliate live affiliate shows
the affiliate series shows are good but for some reason i always think they're going to be ass.
Okay, so Swolverine is get 30% off subscriptions to lock a lifetime savings.
Holy shit.
How do companies do that? I think Gabe does that sometimes, too.
A lifetime savings?
Fuck that.
30% is a lot, dude.
That's like shipping and tax, probably.
30%
I don't know inflation
that's what I imagine it is
or customers can get
30% off any one time purchase
with code swole
Friday 223
I don't
know does it start now

It starts tomorrow.
Oh, Swole Friday.
Swole.
Is that even a word?
I mean, I know we use it,

swolverine sells it i have a bag of um can you go back and look at the other show what's the stuff
that starts with an l lucene maybe yeah there there's this l? Oh, citrulline. Maybe I have citrulline.
I think citrulline is what you take.
I think that's like the new creatine.
Really?
I think you're supposed to take citrulline.
And then if your body needs creatine, it'll turn into creatine.
Or if it needs glutamine, it'll turn it into glutamine.
Huh. I think that's what it is. can't remember i looked it up that might be an emma ween's question

adults yeah and patricia was there yeah yep and she was wearing that hat that's exactly what she
looked like oh do the other picture where you can see her tits. Find if you can see her tits a little better.

So anyway, so my girlfriend at the time was with me,
and we jump out of the motorhome to go into a work meeting,
and this lady's out front.
See if you can put in Patricia Bragg's boobs.
And my girlfriend's talking to her at the time

I'm glad it's getting some good use so this brags thing this is gonna this is this is just horrible do you remember those do you
remember that stuff that um we we showed it's called like apple ghee or something it's it's
basically this spray that bill gates puts on all fruits and vegetables that it's called like apple ghee or something it's it's basically this spray that
bill gates puts on all fruits and vegetables that it's a company he owns and he wants this spray to
be put on all fruits and vegetables and now the fruit has a sticker on it that shows it's been
sprayed with this fruit and vegetable so that they last longer it's basically some chemical and they
won't tell you what the ingredients are in this chemical that they're spraying on all our food okay well here we go brace yourself that you're not gonna like this
my oh here he is here he is hey yo i'm live on i'm live on the show oh Oh, okay. Hey, so when Greg was on last night, he said that trust is built around predictability, right?
Right.
Yeah, so in science, the value of science is in its predictive value, the value in studies.
So we're looking for things we can trust, right?
Right.
And I'm pretty predictable, right?
Correct.
But last night when I posted that thing on your YouTube channel,
while you were asleep, you were probably cuddling with your wife,
thinking the world was a safe place and all.
I was just knocked out. and one of your good buddies
is posting shit on your youtube channel without you knowing i became unpredictable and i i'm just
curious the damage that i've done to our trust because of the unpredictableness of my actions? I mean,
it depends on who you are.
So I sit there for a little bit and I try to figure out how it happened.
And I'm thinking...
How did you know it wasn't an accident
because of what I said in the comments?
I don't know if I had seen that
by the time that my brain had gone the way that it went.
Yeah.
But basically, I just know the way that you work.
And I know that it was probably a one-off thing and a button click away.
And it wasn't too big of a deal.
So in your understanding of me as a human, you know that there's a little mischievousness in me.
So do you think that maybe you just don't want it?
You're too attached to me and you don't want to let our friendship take a damage,
so you're giving me a pass?
I don't know if it's quite that deep.
I just kind of...
I don't know if there's...
I just knew there was no malintent towards it,
so why should I take it personally?
It was just like, hey, this is kind of what he does.
And then, like, i had texted you i just said not cool and then by the time that you had called me because i knew you were sleeping i didn't want to wake you up
but you would call me and i saw that you had posted it on your channel too
and i go oh he just was on stream yard and i think i And I think I recall linking my YouTube to your StreamYard.
And I know it's a button playing away.
And I knew it was no big deal.
I knew it wasn't like you were trying to fuck with me or anything.
Now there's people out there who, if they did that, I would fucking melt them.
And I heard that.
So I wasn't even awake when I called you.
I just saw your text message
And I basically just called you as I was stumbling into the kitchen
And making my coffee
And it was definitely the most
Intense I'd ever heard you
Oh boy
You weren't being a dick
But I could tell you were intense
You know like your lips were pursed pretty tight
I was also pooping Oh I'm being a dick, but I could tell you were intense. You know, like your lips were pursed pretty tight.
I was also pooping.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh, that makes me feel a little better.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
That makes sense. Maybe I was pushing.
And as you caught that, he seems angry.
That wasn't cool that you did that.
That was just working
We're good
Alright
That's cool
Hey you know what
I didn't hear something crazy
There's people that you and I know
There's people that you and I know
Were in the new then
I think that there was something behind it
Right
I don't
I was just like
Oh he's just messing around
I knew at the time
Don't do it again
I knew at the time i shouldn't do it
but i just couldn't resist i was like okay i gotta try hey you know what's crazy i was pooping when
we were on the phone this morning too oh crazy yeah you poop the first thing you do when you
wake up in the morning dude first crazy, crazy.
You want to know the worst thing about my current age?
Yeah.
I'm 32.
Yeah.
I had this system for the longest time where I'd wake up and I'd work out an hour later.
But in between the time I'd wake up and when I would work out, I'd always have pre-workout and it would make me go to the bathroom.
And I loved it because, like, by the time you're done working out, you're clear.
Yeah.
And at this point in time, it just doesn't come out the same way.
So I'm kind of jealous that the first thing you do when you wake up is you empty out.
Well, I used to not be that way.
It only started happening when I did the podcast. But the thought of doing the podcast, if I didn't poop before I did the podcast, I would probably have anxiety or panic a little bit.
I feel like I have to do the podcast with it on an empty colon.
Wasn't it you who I was talking to where you didn't, you're trying to convince me that everyone's crapped themselves at some point?
Yeah, yeah.
And I didn't have any idea how that's possible
like how do you not have control of your bowels oh yeah yeah you've never
oh and i and i like sat down on the toilet yeah and i just pooped and i'm like holy hell i didn't
even know that was coming and then the first thing i thought is maybe this is what it's like
when you accidentally poop yourself yeah like this's the only way it makes sense.
Yeah.
I've gone 32 years of a life and I've never experienced it.
You've never sharted?
You've never sharted?
You've never farted and poop came out?
Like a rabbit pellet or a little spray?
Never, never.
Wow, wow.
But then when I did that that morning, it was sometime in the past couple of weeks,
I thought about that conversation we had and I go, oh, he wasn't kidding.
People do this.
And now I know.
What if the content I would have posted on your site would have been different?
How much did it matter what it was as opposed to that I just did it?
Well, you and I had a conversation about that, and I thought it was an interesting conversation,
Conversation about that and I thought It was an interesting conversation
But I wish you would have picked up on
The fact that it just wasn't
It wasn't like my
Sort of thing I liked it
I liked it coming from you and it made sense but it's
Your thing right right right
Right and I don't know if maybe you
Misconstrued that or maybe you didn't even
Remember but I was like yeah it's cool but
I wouldn't say it
Right right right, right
Oh, you're not endorsing
You're not endorsing that Matt Torres
Is the greatest coach of all time
Or currently the greatest coach
Yeah, yeah, yeah
That's definitely true
And generally, the way that I go about
I don't know, talking about people like Daniel Brandon
I don't say they should wipe shit on their armpits.
Oh, right, right, right.
Not that I have an issue with it.
I don't.
Right.
But generally, I don't just, you know, put that stuff up.
Right, right.
Yeah, I understand.
I would actually say that I do endorse that.
So maybe I should have been cool with that being up there.
But I also don't think that Matt Torres is the best coach.
I actually don't think that there's any quote-unquote great coaches out there.
Whoa.
I had a conversation with somebody recently about this.
I feel like you're letting...
Do you have any idea what I'm talking about there?
About the... Well, I know that there's a few Do you have any idea what I'm talking about there? About the...
Well, I know that there's a few people you and I have talked about recently
who you've told me you don't think are very good coaches.
Well, I know Ben Bergeron's not a good coach.
For the athletes that everyone knows that he's been associated with.
He might be a good coach if you're an everyday person walking to the gym.
He might be the best coach ever. I don't know. I've never had
that experience. I don't know anybody who has, but I know that he didn't create
Katrin. I know he didn't create Fraser. I know Cole Sager has an entire
athletic background behind him, and he didn't make him the crossfitter he is.
I think that's the case with a lot of these coaches out there,
especially people like Shane Orr.
Like, he didn't create Tia Toomey.
And he certainly can't replicate her.
That's been proven.
Yeah, but I don't know if that's the—
LOL. Good one. Good one, Hiller.
That's been proven.
Oh, oh, wow.
I just got it. Thank you, you boys for catching me up with that but here's the thing i don't know if that's the criteria for being a good coach that you have to
make someone right so like i think that what little i know about football that under the right
um uh offense um tyson bajan could go on to be fucking absolutely amazing in the NFL, but with the wrong offense,
but,
but no one's going to make him or break him or no,
no one's going to make him,
but someone could break him now.
Do you know what I mean?
Like someone could be,
I don't think you have to make someone in order to be considered a great
coach.
You know who Bill Belichick is?
Yeah.
The conversation about him for the longest time was was it the chicken before the egg or vice versa with tom brady right like was tom brady making
him look good or the other way around and when tom brady left and won a super bowl and belichick's
patriots aren't that great anymore they're thinking oh it was tom brady the whole time
but there are coaches out there who elevate teams.
And I think it's just the way that you work with your people.
Right.
So it could be the fact that Tyson does or does not work well as a coach.
So it could be that Torres elevated his team.
That could be true.
Yeah.
And that might make him the best coach.
Right. Now you're unfucking me a little bit.
It's the least I could do
For what you did to me
This morning
Yeah
Thank you for that
Alright brother
Good to hear your voice
Thanks for answering
Were you just coaching?
I was yeah
Alright
I'll bug you later
Alright
How was the show?
It was good
That dude was way better
Than I thought
I always dread the fucking Affiliate series shows But that dude's a fucking cool dude I It was good that dude was way better than I thought I always dread the fucking affiliate series shows
But that dude's a fucking cool dude
I would hang with that dude actually
If that dude was my neighbor I would probably
Go to his house and like sit on his couch
And like fuck with him like talk to him
And I do not want to do that with anyone
He's doing something to raise money
He's a serving dude
He's like He comes from a long history He's, he's, he's like,
he comes from a long history of servers and he basically,
his brother's like doing charity work for Haiti and,
um,
and he,
and he's helping his brother out.
He's doing some long ass ride on an echo bike to raise money for it.
That was kind of the least interesting thing like about him.
Um,
even though like I,
I want to support that about him cause it's fucking cool.
I just have, when I hear charity, I have this kind of like, I get triggered by it, adverse
reaction, but this dude's cool.
Like he, the show started off with him talking about how he trains professional athletes.
And I was like, Hey, do you have any success stories?
And fucking, he lit up like a Christmas tree, dude.
And the first story he told us how in the last year, his dad lost 105 pounds at his
gym.
I'm like, damn your dad. What a stud to get your dad to do that. dude and the first story he told us how in the last year his dad lost 105 pounds at his gym i'm
like damn your dad what a stud to get your dad to do that you think hq heard that story someone did
i mean no actually i don't know i don't think hq listens i don't think they're listening i think at
this point they i don't know i don't know that's cool though no because i agree with you with the
charity deal um charity is one of those things where you can do it and you can do it for the
wrong reasons but it's cool when you can hear people say and they light up when they're doing
it for the right reasons yeah i think this guy does his shit for the right reasons i just always
wonder where that money's going and and I just don't trust people.
I just like doing, like, he told a story on the podcast today where his dad met a homeless guy somewhere and brought him home,
and this homeless guy lived with their family for two years until he died of cancer.
Like, that's fucking charity to me.
That's the kind of charity I like.
A homeless guy died?
His dad brought a fucking homeless dude home
The homeless guy lived with him for two or three years
I think he started like calling him Uncle Bob and shit
And then the homeless dude died of cancer
Hey dude
I think that that's the premise of some
Like stranger things or something
I swear I've seen that on a TV show
Oh you think Dan's just making shit up
Hey do you think Froning really killed
You think Froning really killed that um
Um bear I'm starting I want to send that to goob and have him study the picture i was thinking
that you could do a satire piece on that where like you accuse froning of not really killing
the bear because and zoom in on it and show like bent shit and stuff do you have a reason to believe
it's not dead no no but i just it would be awesome if all these people were bent that he killed it.
And then you find out he didn't kill it, that he started crying and he couldn't pull the trigger.
So they photoshopped it.
Hey, I know you're into comedy a little bit, right?
Or at least you follow these comedians.
You know the dude who does The crowd work
He's younger
Maybe upper 20s
I think his name is Matt Rife
Yeah
I heard he has a comedy special
Miss Rodow
Alisa Carr Rodow sent it to me
Yeah I watched that last night
And somewhere around the 45 minute mark
In his comedy special,
I made a note because something he said there sparked Froning's posts on Instagram quite a bit.
And I wanted to do what your idea was with Dave Chappelle way back when.
I just have to figure out a way to pull it because you can't pull stuff off YouTube without getting banged up.
Remember on the Dave Chappelle thing?
He had the four things that make you an Instagram or a popular.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, no, that wasn't Dave Chappelle.
That was Chris Rock.
Yes, but I know you got your black guys confused.
I get my comedians messed up, right?
Yeah, yeah.
I know Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, and Matt Rice.
Right.
Yeah, you could be... What were be uh uh what what were they you could you
could show your ass that was one of the ways you could be like a sex tape right yeah that was you
could become that's becoming infamous yeah that's like the sex tape you could be a victim oh yeah
you could be like be the greatest at something like Serena Williams or you could Play the victim like
Capper dick
Or you could
Or you could do like three four of them
Like Danny Spiegel is a genius she
Plays the victim she shows
Her ass and she's
Fucking amazing at something dude
Her and who's that buddy
Yours that I think's not juiced up that you swear to me
Is not
Street and her should release a sex tape
Or actually she should go no offense to street she street should actually release a sex tape with like some famous chick and
She should have do it like who's the who's like, oh, you know that new famous basketball player with the
No, it's got to be someone the dude with the giant weird long arms the seven foot four dude
with the eight inch eight foot arm reach him and uh danny spiegel should release a sex tape that
shit would go crazy that danny would then could just tell us all the fuck off is that dude that popular he would be if he fucking banged his
i would love to see that tape i would love to see him and spiegel fuck i'm not even into porn
but i'd be so curious like to like you know like have you ever watched like weird animals fuck like
rhinos fuck i actually really if there's one thing i don't enjoy looking at It's probably that
Animals having sex
Right it's really weird to me
They're so odd
They always choose the same position
Everyone does doggy style
Horse style
I never
You never see animals doing missionary
Like the dudes don't want to look at their chicks
I just don't know if their hearts work like that
I don't think anatomically they can do that
Imagine a couple of horses trying to do that
I don't think they work like that
Oh my goodness
Yeah, Abdeja says Webby's incredibly popular
Oh my god, Rambler said
Rambler just said missionary
position is the best i've never heard anyone say that wow of course rambler did
yeah i do too that means that the people that you had sex with you probably really like yeah
that's fair the opposite of what you just said yeah animals don't like looking at the people
yeah they're having sex with not people no they're animals That's fair. Yeah. Yeah.
What the fuck? The dude getting banged by a horse.
Yeah, man.
Yeah, man.
You'll be going through the comments on a post
and people just post this thing on Twitter.
They think it's funny.
And they think it's funny because I hate it.
And I'm sure a lot of other people hate it.
I've never seen anyone get banged by a horse.
Don't you love how we went from talking about how Matt Torres isn't the best coach ever to getting banged by a horse?
Yeah.
But I think he might be the best coach ever, but where I think we settled is you just think there aren't any good coaches, that the bar's been set really low?
If there were somebody out there who you would want coaching you, I think Matt Torres would be up with the best of them
because he's got – the proof is in the pudding.
Like, he's got Daniel Brandon.
He's got – or had Emma Carey come up And threw his program right
For the most part
James Sprague, Dallin Pepper
But didn't a couple of them come on over from
Underdog
Daniel Brandon being that person
I don't know
Where did Dallin Pepper come from
Wasn't he working out with Cole Sager
No dude you know what
I think he
I think Dallin Pepper
He was a champion as a kid under Torres
Or I know I think Emma Carey was
I think Emma was with Torres since she'd been like 15
Yeah
Hey And especially in the CrossFit world, I mean, most people are mediocre athletes and something else.
Like, Froning's biggest thing was that he was a shitty baseball player his entire life,
and then he became the best CrossFitter ever.
Matt Fraser was an above-average weightlifter who couldn't even make the American team,
and the American team sucks, and then he becomes one of the best CrossFitters ever.
I think Froning
was probably a better baseball player than
Matt was a weightlifter.
No?
No. Oh.
Well, it depends. If you take into
account the rules that they're playing in,
there's way more baseball players out there than
there are weightlifters. But from what I understand,
Freezer was on the Olympic
track and just shy of making the
U.S. team.
Broding was a D2 baseball player,
but there's way more baseball players out there.
Right.
He probably would have been minors or something.
That's hard to say. And we also know that Tyson
was a D2 football player who is
now starting out as a quarterback.
Not anymore,
but he has started games as a quarterback. Not anymore, but he has started games as a quarterback.
What do you think about people being excited about a 1-7 quarterback
coming back to start?
Did I lose you?
Caleb just said, what do you think about people being excited
about a 1-7 quarterback coming back to start?
He's referencing Justin Fields.
Did you say Caleb? Yeah, you couldn't hear Caleb.
Oh, no. Yeah, you can't hear Caleb. Yeah, he is here.
He can't hear you. My phone's all fucked up,
so I'm just holding my phone
on the mic so no one can talk
to you but me. My shit's all fucked up, dude.
I'm in
communications with Roadcaster now.
They want me to send a video showing them
how I set it up.
Interesting.
Do you think that it's just
I'm just not tech savvy
or do you think something's wrong with the equipment?
Well,
they've sent you
for how many of them? Three?
Yeah, at least. I feel like I've had seven.
Yeah, yeah.
Someone on the internet said that they got the iPhone 15 hooked up.
Only one person, though. Someone on the internet said that they got the iPhone 15 hooked up. I heard you say that.
Only one person, though.
Well, how long has the iPhone 15 been out?
Long enough for someone to potentially have a roadcast or have issues with it?
It's all new.
I don't know.
That's a good question.
Within two months, you'd have to find forums on that?
Within two months, you'd have to find forums on that.
How do you feel about the Bears bringing back a quarterback that's only 1-5 out of 30? I'm glad they're bringing him back.
I was watching a video on it, and someone was saying that, like, hey, they need to bring him back to assess him.
And then someone else is like, fuck that.
They already know that I respect.
But I'm perfectly okay with it. I may
even watch the game.
Hey, and I don't think his
thumbs... I don't think his... What'd you say?
That's what I
wanted to know if you were going to watch it.
I don't think his thumb's 100%.
I watched him in a press conference yesterday.
How did you...
Alright, you watched the press conference.
How did you feel about the press conference
I thought it was fine
But I don't think his thumb is 100%
You didn't do what I like to do
When you analyze the person
Being interviewed
Well I only have one data point
That's the only press conference I've ever seen him do
But they sure did ask him a lot of questions about Tyson.
I, in a world of people where there's people like Justin Medeiros,
who every bit of word that they say is like,
and Tia Toomey, every other word she says is um.
Tyson is on the spectrum
Of somebody of a Joe Rogan
And
Justin Fields is on the spectrum
Of Justin Medeiros
And that's kind of
As far as I think I should go with that
It's hard to listen to him talk
When Medeiros
Didn't do the like thing when he was
Talking with Fraser that video that just came out when Medeiros didn't do the like thing when he was talking with
Fraser
that video that just came out
oh he did
oh okay
I
well I was on the assault bike and I listened to the
first 15 minutes and I remember
consciously
thinking oh I haven't heard him say like yet
oh shit consciously thinking, oh, I haven't heard him say like yet. It's a 53-minute episode,
and guess how many times the word like was said.
Oh, shit.
Oh, Nelly.
Do you think it was more or less than 500?
Way less than 500.
More.
You'd be wrong.
Oh, no.
Is there a video coming out?
Do you think it was more Or less than 750
Oh
Way less than 750
863
What
Wow
In 53 minutes dude
What's the likes per minute on that one
I'll do it.
53 goes into 863.
I'm just doing it long.
No calculator.
Long math.
One, 53, and then carry the 333 down.
And then that goes in five times, uh five times which would be uh 15 carry
the one 26 i can't believe i can't uh i can't believe i still know how to do a long division
i uh then you carry that to the um uh that would be eight and that would be five 58 uh 15 uh and 58 15 and then that goes in one time into 53 of 5
No, 55
at a 0 15 point 1
No, I'm gonna use a calculator now I. I just did back of the napkin.
Like just over 16?
Back of the napkin?
16.28?
That's what I got.
863 divided by 53 equals...
Oh, 16.2.
Wow, I wasn't even close.
Wow.
Really?
Let me check my math again here.
Six times five would be...
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Hey, did you catch the end of Madero's cross-dressing video?
Yeah, I really like that.
Ellie makes fun of him
for saying likes, and he takes it like
a champ.
When I
hear that, it actually
makes me really like Justin Madero's.
I agree.
He does not give a fuck
about it.
Or he just acted like he didn't give a fuck,
and then afterwards when the camera turned off,
he fucking bitch slapped her.
How did you feel about, yeah, right.
I don't think he bitch slapped her, but.
How do you feel about on the Fraser podcast,
he brings up the fact that he'd rather have Fraser there
and finish second every year than ever win.
He brings up the fact that he'd rather have Razor there and finish second every year than ever win.
I didn't hear that part, but I didn't hear that part.
I need to see it. What's interesting is they clipped it.
They clipped it and put it on Instagram.
So that's what made me go and watch the video.
Because I think I needed context.
Because when I heard it on Instagram, I go, what the hell does that mean? Yeah. Yeah.
Hey, remember what I told you about fucking with madaris and his mom do you remember the other was that you the other day i said that
too i was like yeah i ain't fucking with them because his mom's in my listens to my show
right right right well she just she just commented in the comments
what'd you say leave him alone. Or I know that he says
like too much.
No.
No.
She said,
can you please stop Hiller?
He speaks from the heart
and loves CrossFit.
CrossFit is community.
I thought you were good
for the sport.
Stop bashing athletes
for not relating to fitness.
For things not related
to fitness.
But they are the poster children for the sport.
Hey,
I,
I can't,
I can't facilitate it,
but boy,
that,
that sure as fuck makes me feel uncomfortable as fuck.
I mean,
Dan Guerrero says Shanna has a good point.
It's,
it's getting awfully petty.
I don't think it's petty. I, I, I mean, itrero says Shanna has a good point It's getting awfully petty I don't think it's petty
I mean it's
It's fun
I mean
There's a piece of it that's fucking hilarious
That it's 863 likes in 53 minutes
I mean that's fascinating to me
But it's also cool that him and Ellie
Did that thing
I really liked that.
Where Justin like took it like a champ,
right?
Right.
Yeah.
I thought that I just said that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You said that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm piggybacking off of what you said.
I thought it made me really respect him.
I'm like,
yeah.
Oh yeah.
He has a good sense of humor.
Like he's,
yeah,
he has a good sense of humor and even his girlfriend's making fun of him and he posted
it on his own channel.
Yeah. Come on his own channel.
Yeah.
Come on.
Come on.
That was the most important part of that whole, that whole topic.
Uh, tank reef says, Seve, your Badoosie is showing.
I know it's, it's, it's always showing.
I know.
Sorry, Caleb.
I know.
I promised I wouldn't say it.
All right.
Let's just say I'm being petty.
Go ahead.
Let's live in that world for a minute.
Okay. How about the other world where you just completely ignore the fact that that is something that happens?
And every single time he's up there, no one's going to tell him, but everybody's thinking it.
Well, that's true. And obviously she doesn't like anything negative about her son.
And I sure as fuck don't blame her for that.
But yeah,
I,
what makes it negative?
Um,
it's just,
well,
if he was offended by it,
it would be negative just that maybe it's just a,
it's a,
it's a,
um,
it's just an immature trait to say the word like 863 times in a 53 minute
video.
That's it.
And by immature, I don't mean like um like uh
immature in the sense of it he's he hasn't reached full maturation that it will it will go away
with the more reps he gets in i don't mean immature in the sense the way that i'm immature
on this podcast by always talking about boobs and farting sounds.
That's I'm not talking about that kind of immaturity.
I understand that Justin's best thing is his fitness,
right?
Right.
So everything he does is to get bitter.
So when I hear him say that on his own channel,
where I was making fun of him
acting like he's like like like like right i i kind of wrap my head around the fact that
it doesn't fucking matter to him that he says it because it does because it's not what he's
trying to get best at he's not going to care about his language right his language filtering out the words and maybe even practicing his his dialogue isn't
going to make him fitter in any way so why does it matter and the first time that i ever had exposure
to this was probably college i remember i was in an english class and everyone had to give a
presentation and the teacher legit said if you repeat the same word more than a couple of times on the series of your
presentation, you're going to get a 1% to dunk it every time you say it.
And there were person after person after person would go and give a
presentation and then have the ums and the likes.
And I just could not believe that something that important to their overall
grade and the way that they presented themselves completely went out the door.
When I hear people like Tia or Justin do this, I just think that they're leaving room to either get a point across better or make themselves look better.
And I don't like it when people make themselves look bad.
So you're giving them feedback. It's all benevolent.
Yes.
And, but also entertaining at the same time.
And that's social media.
And I don't know. I do enjoy the fact that he doesn't care.
And I suppose that Shanna has said, leave him alone, stop talking about it.
Now we've talked about it for an extra 10 minutes.
That's accurate.
What's that last part?
Yeah, just the way you said it yeah all of it
Alright
It's accurate it's all accurate
Hey someone say my shit is so
Bush league you don't even know
I have a phone barely propped up
It's so sad
Yeah they can't even hear me
Oh the people can hear you
Alright dude
Thanks for coming on um
I'll bug you later thank you
Okay bye
Oh no
Shannon I think he's gonna make another video
How did he know it was 863 that's a weird
That was weird
It made me uncomfortable
I suspect there's
Alright Uh let's go on to more bad news I suspect there's... Alright.
Let's go on to more bad news.
I'm going to play this for you.
This sucks. This really sucks.
Okay, here we go.
Yo, how did I totally miss
that this Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar
was purchased by Katy Perry and her husband and they are teamed up now with
Bill Gates so yeah Katy Perry Orlando Bloom by Bragg's back in 2019 so this
happened now what I'm about to show you next is actually the bad part, okay?
This wasn't so bad, but who Katy Perry is doing business with, now, y'all be the judge of this.
So you got Katy Perry and her husband, Orlando Bloom, using Bill Gates' A. Peel apples to make Bragg's apple cider vinegar yeah that's correct
you heard it correctly now let me let me tell you about it a pill Bragg's it's
about the use of the mono glycerides and the dig a glycerides I might have
butchered that but these additives are byproducts of oil processing including partially
hydrogenated canola canola and soybean oils which contain artificial trans fats and
dangerous food ingredients known to cause coronary heart disease and
link to
50,000 other fatal yo
How did I total? and link to 50,000 other fatal... Yo.
How did I totally...
Dude, this stuff has... Dickerides.
This stuff has lived on my kitchen counter,
bottles of this, for the last 10 years.
And last night, I saw Haley pour it out.
Pour it out for the homies.
So bombed.
What's the what's the alternative?
You probably
make it yourself.
How many posts is
how many comments
does Rich Froning's video have
now? Can you see I looked on
I think you have to look. I think that's the kind of thing like you don't get I looked online. Oh, I think you have to look.
I think that's the kind of thing.
Like, you don't get that stat on a computer.
I think you have to look on a phone.
Rich Froning.
5,600 comments.
That's it?
Dude, that's crazy, bro.
He's 7,700 on the bear post.
Oh, I see 5,600 on the bear post.
I got 7,700, and there's only 1,100 on the elk post.
Let's look at one where he's sliding under a regular post.
His would have 48 comments.
That's amazing.
Yeah, the one where he's doing an elk call has 75.
Ones have been working out, 52.
It's a significant uptick.
Wild.
Did you see
my response
to it?
No, what did you say?
Let's see.
You know what's crazy?
This – look, my mouth looks like a vagina.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, here we go.
This is my response to the froning video.
Here we go.
I got to get something off my chest here
uh my uh this is in response to that rich froning video with that bear that he allegedly killed
i'd like to see the whole video but anyway uh my wife was a vegan you know she didn't eat any dead
animals and um god i feel horrible for this now and uh i got her pregnant you know you know how
that happens and um i mean if you don't i can make a different video but so i get her pregnant and uh
immediately she starts eating meat and i can't tell you how many animals have died since then
because she turned into a meat eater because I got her pregnant.
I don't know. I just see how angry so many of you are that Rich allegedly killed a bear.
But it's really nothing compared to what I did with my penis.
With my bare hands, I've, you know.
Anyway, thanks for letting me get that off my chest.
My penis, my black penis has done way more harm to the animal kingdom than Rich's alleged bear kill.
To the animal kingdom.
Then riches.
Alleged bear kill.
Yes murderous hog.
That's correct.
That's correct.
Yeah.

It is kind of like the,
that,
that post of his is kind of what's that called? Like the,
the,
is it a dog whistle or it basically summons all the fucking it's,
he summoned all the retards.
There they are for anyone who wants to,
you know,
gather them up.
And those people need to be just
flown on a plane to kenya and left out there out in the wild on their own for two months
two months
oh it's the opposite of a dog whistle
oh okay
it's an actual whistle
in
in a few minutes
in a few minutes
there will be two gentlemen one bald
one with hair coming on this
podcast to do a show
that's called shut up and scribble
weekly show
one of the guys
Andrew Hiller made a video
about calling him the
greatest
coach alive J.R. Howell
remember that video I do greatest coach alive, J.R. Howell.
Remember that video?
I do.
And now that guy has a show because of Hiller's and many people's endorsements.
He now has his own show on the most popular podcast channel
in the ecosystem, the Savon Podcast,
along with his protege, his buddy, his bald buddy.
Hello.
You've reached Andrew Hiller.
If you do not leave me a message
and or text me about what it is
that you are calling for,
I will not be getting back to you.
I thought you should know that.
That's all.
Thank you.
Goodbye.
He's so weird that is so weird dude anyway um Anyway Oh
Hi
Hey
Didn't you make a video saying J.R. Howell
Is the best coach in CrossFit
Yeah I did
Alright so he's a good one
He is Why is he a good one. He is.
Why is he a good one?
I don't know.
How come?
We could probably use the same stuff that we just talked about to define that.
He had a games athlete this year.
Nobody knew who Jason Hopper was.
Yeah.
And then everyone knew who Jason Hopper was.
Oh.
If you walk into his doors, there's a whole bunch of people that you've never heard of in the CrossFit space, but they're all incredibly fit.
Right.
So where you have people like Fraser and Froning, who are decent athletes, but not the best in their respective areas.
You've got a whole bunch of people at jrs who are probably average folk who are
incredibly fit because they just believe him they trust him and then he's smart as shit
he is smart that's for sure and he did have a game and he did have a game that i was just gonna i was
just telling them that hey i was just about to sign off.
And then I remembered, oh, J.R. Howell and Taylor's coming on.
And then I was like, oh, shit, he called J.R. the best coach in CrossFit.
So I thought I would.
You still stand by that?
Is that video still relevant?
Yeah, the video's still relevant.
But the thing is, that sucks, is I don't think he coaches anybody, really.
He has the chick that was on my show.
She's cool.
I wonder if she's coming back again this year to coach.
I think he's spread pretty thin.
JR's time is hard to get.
Between kids, the gym, competitions,
and the podcast?
Correct.
Yeah.
I would stick by that, but
the thing about making that claim is
if he's the best or one of the best
in the space, nobody can have him.
Right?
I mean, Tom Brady's
the best quarterback in the NFL.
And people are okay with not having him because he's just too old.
But imagine he's 25.
I guess he would still be the best.
It would just suck.
What if I would have, what if yesterday I would have just changed your profile picture on YouTube?
Would that have been less?
Oh, yeah, I wouldn't have cared at all about that.
Less disturbing.
OK, right, right.
All right.
Well, it's the thing.
It's I think I tried to say this to you.
You turn on the TV and you go to ESPN and you're expecting sports.
Yes.
And I put a lot of effort into like giving something that's consistent. Yes. And I put a lot of effort into like giving something
that's consistent. Yes.
And
it was just inconsistent.
So it was almost like I spilled a cup of
coffee on your fine
suit that you worked so hard
to present. A perfectly matching suit.
It's forward facing. And then I
came and spilled coffee on it while you were asleep.
That works. Oh yeah. I put a stain on it it's just unacceptable
okay
it had like 1200
views and 1200 people were like
oh fuck what did I just turn on
it just doesn't feel right
and the thing that I'm worried about which is
like the biggest worry because it can be overcome
yeah is that
1200 people saw it
and now they're not going to click on the next one my right
that that's that's probably the biggest issue like oh well
fuck make something that they have to click on no matter what so that that way i get let off the
hook and you won't be upset at me for damaging your uh i'm not upset i'm not upset not yet but wait till your next video only
gets 3 000 views oh yeah then it's all on you yeah yeah yeah what uh what's the what do you
recommend what do i make a video on i'd prefer to tell you off the air. Oh, why? Because it's the one with Jason.
It's the one with Madera saying like 863 times.
And I don't want Shanna to think that I'm.
No, I'm not making a video.
I swear I was actually going to make another Instagram thing on that.
And I had the whole thing fired up.
I was ready to chop it up.
And then I watched that clip on the end of his own video
where he's basically cool with it and i'm like well i don't need to do that he knows but it could
be oh well you could make it yeah okay and it's just like it's done hey um how do you know how
do you know it's 863 likes did you ask ai to check that how do you know it's 863 likes? Did you ask AI to check that?
How do you know that?
I'm not telling my secrets.
Fair enough.
But I can guarantee you that's accurate.
Dang.
But I'm not telling.
I don't want other people.
It's a trade secret.
I'll tell you that off the air.
Okay.
All right.
I'll talk to you later.
Okay.
Bye.
Shut up and scribble. We'll be to you later. Okay. Bye. Shut Up and Scribble will be on.
Do we know when, Caleb?
Damn, this is a three-hour show.
Probably 1230 my time.
I think that's usually when it's at.
Let's see.
I don't know.
It's not on the schedule right now, I don't think.
It's not?
I don't see it.
It's not on StreamYard.
Shit, maybe.
They might not have one because uh taylor's competition is this weekend
oh i think they were gonna they were gonna try to but i wasn't sure if they decided
well shit let's make one more phone call cheese dick phone call
cheese dick with the ghetto setup shit talk about um talk about poor representation
oh my god look at we stayed on just long enough to get 49.99 that's
hey you're live on the air i'm live hey you're not doing a show today
no we're not doing a show today because Because of your competition this weekend?
Yeah, I've got a competition tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
It starts tomorrow, yeah.
Three-day comp?
Yeah, three-day.
Wow.
But you will be coming on the CrossFit Games Update show for an hour tomorrow?
Yes, I'm pumped about that.
Can people just... We're going to...
What?
No, you go ahead.
No, I was going to say,, are we gonna do that ranking segment?
What ranking segment?
The one I suggested to the group text with me and Pedro.
No, I thought it was stupid, whatever it was.
No, dude, you did not think it was stupid either.
You thought, holy shit, that's a hit.
No, let me think.
Well, hold on oh i didn't even understand those oh okay i didn't understand that i didn't even understand those. Oh, okay. I didn't even understand.
I don't even know what a mongrel is.
I thought a mongrel was like you're a gang member in California.
The mongrels.
We want to go through all the athletes and who's.
Okay, we got to think of better words then.
Okay.
Better words?
What's wrong with those words, dude?
I don't know.
Mongrel?
Humanizing?
I don't care about that.
Okay, dope.
Neither do I.
What's up?
What's up?
What are you calling?
So can anyone still enter your competition?
Like, can people just walk in and enter it?
No, dude.
It's all locked up.
It's all closed.
Oh, that's dumb.
Why is that dumb?
Hey, I'm on my email.
I'm trying to send an email, and I'm trying to figure out how to add my signature.
Are there any...
Oh, my wife knows how to do all that stuff.
Hey, are there any competitions where you can just show up and compete?
Are they all fucking, like, uptight and shit, like yours and JR's?
Well, dude, mine's not that uptight,
but they
would have had to let me know
all the heat sheets.
I mean, look, there's probably a handful of people
who could probably reach out and be like,
hey, can I compete in this
division? I'd be like, alright, if there's a spot and somebody
just dropped out, sure.
Is there money? Can they win money?
Yeah, first place in the elite division is going to win $2,000.
Oh, shit.
So it's not, you know, no small...
Who's going to win it? Is there a ringer already in the group?
I think so. There's a guy on the guy's side.
Spencer...
Handel?
No. No.
Fuck, no. Austin Spencer sorry he was uh he was eight to granite
games when I was there eight eight which is I mean top ten in the semifinals why
wouldn't hopper just come up there and get your money Wow Wow why wouldn't
Colton just come up and
get it oh he didn't live there he lives in iowa or something where does he live yeah it's probably a
bit too far for just two thousand dollars i mean his trip for him would probably cost him a grand
right but for like local semi-final athletes it's pretty i mean two thousand dollars nothing
to shake a stick at i don't want you contacting any of my sponsors without asking me first.
Me?
Yeah.
Who are your sponsors?
Yeah, good answer.
Okay, Vindicate.
I already contact them without talking to you all the time.
They've actually got a prototype cock ring that they're coming out with for me.
Who? Toe Spacers is? Toe Spacers is?
Yeah, cock ring prototype. It's called the Dong. Who Toe Spacers is? Toe Spacers is? Yeah. Yeah, cock ring prototype.
It's called the dong spacer.
Cock spacers.
Oh, God.
That's horrible.
I wonder what JR's wife thinks about you.
Becca loves me.
We have a great relationship.
I wonder if she thinks you're just another one of JR's projects.
I wonder if she sees you as like...
He's trying to domesticate you.
No, stop. You should see how good I am with Lilia and Quinn, his daughters.
They're amazing. The cutest girls ever.
Yeah, I'm sure you're good with kids. You're fun. You're the fun uncle.
But still, I feel like JR's wife sees you as a domestication project.
Do you put the toilet seat down and shit like that?
Yes, dude.
What are you talking about?
Do I put the toilet?
I pee sitting down.
Hey, do you like Wendy's?
Are you asking me if I had to pick a fast food restaurant, would Wendy's be my top pick?
God, I forget how the joke goes. Caleb,aleb can you do it what do i say to him wendy sucks what do i say he can't hear you tell me
what do you like wendy's and then he says yeah and then you say or i don't know and then you say
do you like wendy's nuts drag across your face you kind of oh do you look Wendy's? No. Do you like Wendy's nuts dragged across your face?
Yes.

There... There's a excuse me there wow i clicked on insta i saw my name when i typed in seven on my toes in facebook this instagram account popped up and it's my instagram account but in
a foreign language.
Wow, that's crazy.
All right.
Caleb, how old were you when you got married?
24. Holy shit, you're crazy. I mean, oh, 24.
Holy shit, you're crazy.
I mean, oh, congratulations.
That's cool.
You're gonna have a long and happy life together.
Extremely lucky, that's for sure.
There you go.
Alright.

No way. Janelle got married at 23
I like this
the taxidermy guy is like
your brain wasn't fully developed
oh you got a colonoscopy
congratulations
I'm glad it went well
I should probably get one of those.
No, I do not have a mustache in my wedding pictures.
Clean shaven.
Actually, not even clean.
I think I still had scruff. As opposed to Cave Dastros
Everything sleeping with a thousand chicks before you get married
Is a good idea
You mean as opposed to after you're married
Jackass.
Wow. Wow.
This is the fucking best comment of the day.
Not a taxidermy, dear.
I sliced my finger open mounting a 14-point buck.
I don't even know what that means,
but I think that's true. He cut his finger open mounting a 14 point buck. I don't even know what that means, but I think that's true. He's basically, he
cut his finger open while
that dude, that dude, I
guess works with dead animals.
Turns them into stuffed animals.
Turns dead animals into kids toys.
Into wall
mounts.
14, like a point is how many points on the antlers there are i think how come those ones on the top
got like barnacles and shit growing on them and the rest don't you see that right here
moss and shit yeah i think it's an age thing like as they get older they start to develop
like imperfections in the antlers it's just a buildup of uh tissue or something because the antlers were like mold
what did he slice his finger on you think like he had a you think he had an he did it himself
with like his knife or you think that some part of the deer sliced him open probably an antler
an antler yeah Those things are sharp. Wow.
Mason Mitchell is not 45.
Yeah, he is.
He is?
Yeah, he told me that.
I met him at Rogue.
Seriously, I thought he was fucking 18.
No.
I didn't believe him either.
He's like, I swear to god they must lose their antlers every year
because they got a pile of them at the pet store
that you can buy to feed your dog
unless they're just killing millions of deers
those are so expensive too
yeah
does he say
does he say how he cut himself open?
He hasn't said yet.
Hey, dude, how'd you cut yourself open with just poor wielding of the knife, the tools, or the antler?
Yeah, Mason Mitchell.
Yeah, 27 max.
I agree.
You saw this dude in person? This Mason?
Mason Mitchell? Yeah.
Could he be 45?
No.
Oh.
Like, just the way he does...
He looks incredibly young.
The drinking water in Mississippi has tainted and caused Mason to reverse age.
He keeps commenting, but he still
hasn't told us how he cut his finger.
I'm out of here. What's the longest
show we ever did? What's going on?
Oh, I wonder what my wife is.
My wife hasn't texted me this morning. I wonder if everything's
okay.
What's today? Thursday?
Thursday.
Do you not have a
sister? No. Wait, not have a sister?
No.
Wait, you have a sister?
Yeah, did you know that?
Yeah.
She DMs me every once in a while and just talks about stuff.
It's kind of funny.
Hello?
Hi, is it raining?
No, it's not.
Oh, I'm going to take the boys out.
Cool.
Okay.
All right.
Where are you going to go?

Holy shit.
That's crazy.
That's wild.
Happy anniversary.
Happy anniversary.
I think Haley posted that it was your anniversary.
No shit.
Check to make sure.
We don't, that would be ridiculous if she did that.
We don't, oh.
We don't even, we don't have, oh my God.
Is she out of her fucking mind?
What's happened to my wife?
You guys are so cute.
My mom said she'd give us $50,000 if we got married.
That's why we did it.
What?
No,
I'm joking.
This is crazy.
White wedding part one to the day we got married.
No shit.
She asked me yesterday if I wanted to go to dinner tonight.
I wonder why.
I was like, what for?
You don't just go on dates with your wife every once in a while?
Fuck no.
Wow.
You should do that more often.
No.
My anniversary next week. The kids have to come.
