This is Travis from Vindicate's idea, not my idea. Oh, shit, I don't even know where his QR code is. Usually it sits at the bottom. Damn it, of course I'm going to try to sell you guys something and there's no QR code for it.

This is the new CEO Colorway, now live. He thought of this because of the Chicago Bears. I guess that's their color. You know what's funny? So many people DM me and said that that's awesome. you know it's funny so many people dm me and said that that's awesome look even hillary even hillary knew it's the dub bears cool right oh this guy wants to know if he's using a company other than next level unless it's stuff already printed i'm not using next level apparel until they fix their issues way too unreliable and the urgency to fix the issue or compensate for the issue is non-existent you ship to the UK yeah that one's gonna be cool an orange one I

don't know how we thought of that didn't think of that before so there's that oh you this um there is uh this i rocked the shit out of this i've started wearing this like every day now oh shit there he is there's mike hey you got me yeah i had to get in first no problem so should i hit get in right now? No, you're in. You're in. I can see you. You're good. Okay, because there's a screen in front of me.

I see you in all your glory. Dude, Mike, what's up, dude? Did you get a haircut for this? You look all cleaned up. Well, I'm good. I want to tell you, I got 22 people in my class, okay? And almost every limitation is represented in there by somebody. Okay.

We've got replaced knees. We've got replaced hips. We've got stents going to our heart. And then we have somebody with Parkinson's disease. And they're all doing wonderful. I couldn't be happier. This is a big time in my life. You know, we had our last conversation.

Five years ago? Six years ago. Yeah, yeah. Crazy. And that was big. And that came across wonderful. So, you know, we have our own garden. At the gym? Yeah, we have our own garden.

Yeah, at the gym, huh? Yeah, and that's how we produce our vegetables to eat. Hey, Mike, can I ask you a question? I want to start to show off with something crazy practical in a way that you inspired me. I want to give people just one thing that they can do today that you do with food. Like what you got me doing is you got me to start sprouting. It's so funny. I've seen my mom sprout stuff my whole life, and I never did it.

And then I saw you do it once, and I'm like, yeah, I'm going to start sprouting stuff. Can you tell us about this celery jar? I'm gonna do this today. Tell me about the celery and the natural salt it has in it. And can you tell me, I pulled a post up and it's like one stalk of celery cut into tiny half inch pieces. Will you tell me about that? Well, now listen, the realistic story is we got to make our own food. We can't rely on a third party making food for us. And the reason is it's got processed salt, it's got processed fat,

and it's got ingredients that do nothing but want us to eat more. And we got to make our own food. And it's just as simple as that. It's not hard making our own food. I don't know if that answers your question sufficiently but i want you to tell people exactly something that they can do today and i love your celery thing so go out and can you tell me the process go out get a jar clean your celery fill the jar with distilled water put the celery in it close it seal it up for five days leave it in there and then what happens to the celery in it, close it, seal it up for five days, leave it in there.

And then what happens to the celery? I'm going to do that today. But what you're saying celery, because I see that on beef jerky all the time. It says celery salt. And I'm always like, what is that? What's celery salt? And you're saying that somehow the celery's own salt will ferment the celery. Well, the celery is tainted.

You know, unless you have your own garden, you don't get stuff that's clean. Okay. And somehow you got to clean it up. And that's one way to do that. Okay. Because when he put it in there, I know it kind of ferments, but, but, but, but, but that's the real, that's the real deal. Do you do that? Do you soak salad? Do you, do you do that regularly?

Is that part of your regimen always having celery that's been soaked for five days? do that regularly is that part of your regimen always having celery that's been soaked for five days no i tell you what uh i eat a variety of things all kinds of things and uh mostly i i keep it different uh so that uh i nourish the things that uh you know, we don't even think about. And, hey, don't forget, you know, I'm going to be 81 years old. Wild. And I love it, Siobhan. And I couldn't be happier that you allowed me to be on this podcast.

I got a lot of people watching. And I'll get feedback. I'll get positive feedback from when this gets aired. What year were you born, Mike? Pardon me?

What year were you born? I was born 1943. Okay, I i'm gonna do the math really quick to make sure you're not lying about your age okay it's 2024 okay yeah that works out you're 80 you're 81 damn near and when's your birthday uh june 29th hey happy birthday.

Like running and jumping and those kinds of things with your physical body? Yeah. I mean, just playing football at the level I did, you know.

And, you know, I don't think I was ever programmed to play football. It's just that it was an opportunity, and I loved every minute of it. And Mike, was there a point in your life when you realized, oh man, it's kind of like the first time you experienced mortality where you're like, oh shit, I better start taking care of my health. Was there a moment in your life when that set in uh not really you always were like this you always knew from a young age yeah yeah yeah and did that make you an oddball did that make you an oddball i mean you went through some really

crazy eras the whole microwave era and the era of eating low-fat stuff and then all the artificial sweeteners i mean you've lived through some nutritional milestones i mean do you remember when the microwave came and all of a sudden every grocery store had an aisle of microwavable stuff you're like what where did this show up from uh i know same you know and i i was just kind of research-oriented all my life. And I knew enough to stay away from that kind of stuff. I mean, just from reading and studying. How about your parents? What did they do?

My dad was a fireman. Put out fires. And my mother was a fireman, put out fires. And my mother was a homemaker. And now firemen really don't put out fires. They tend to people with chronic disease. That's right. That's right. we had a radio in our house that when there was a fire, the radio would go on and it would blur out for North Chicago fire

department, a fire at 10, 10 South 15th street. I repeat a fire. And, you know, and so my dad had to get up and he had to wear his bestest, his bestest suits. Okay. And couldn't drive. So I had to get up and get out with him and start the truck up and get the truck going

and driving through the fire. He couldn't drive because the asbestos suit didn't allow someone to drive? Well, it was so big and heavy. Yeah, yeah. How old were you when you did that? I grew up different yeah and then meanwhile my mom's home crying because you know she knew my dad you know if it didn't

if it came time to bust a hole in the roof and do whatever and get down there and save somebody he'd do it yeah were you even 16 at that time uh yeah i'm not supposed to tell anybody now i i won't tell anyone were you driving were you driving the fire truck underage pardon me were you driving the fire truck underage uh uh no but but his pickup truck yeah fantastic and you know at that time you know all the police knew who i was you know and and it isn't like it is now you know and and and quite frankly the police love to see that happen you know father and son working together right absolutely and then and then when you got out of um uh college and you were done playing football and what did you do after that what did you like where did your life take you i see you have grandkids in your instagram that you're very fond of? Yeah. Well,

weightlifting. YMCA? YMCA? Yeah. Bar lifting. You know, who's the guy that... Who invented Nautilus?

Oh, what is that guy's name? It's two guys. Between me and you, we couldn't remember anything. I have a feeling. Let me think. A founder. Yeah.

Of Nautilus. Let me see. Oh, Arthur Jones. I didn't know. Arthur Jones. Yeah. A lot of people don't even know who he was. Yeah, I don't even know who he is. Who is he?

You know, I followed him. He created the Nautilus wheel. Those were all the pulley machines and all that? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, he was a man. And, hey, he was no BS. You know, you either work your butt off or don't even work out. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, you must've been in heaven when you found CrossFit. So you met your wife and you had kids.

Did you have a job before you were a coach? You've been a coach for a while. I'm sure I did. I did something. I mean, you're catching me a little off right now. Yeah, no problem. Hey, do you remember how you found crossfit how what now again how you found crossfit how your paths and how the first time you

found crossfit and started to embrace it do you remember that story uh my my my daughter and son-in-law, they introduced me to that. Okay. I thought I was pretty good. Until they gave me a workout. And that changed my life. And how old were you at that point? Oh. Were you in your 60s or 70s oh no no no no no no

i was i was my um late late 30s oh when you found crossfit yeah so you were doing you had been doing just intense workouts for a long time uh I've always done intense workouts, yes. And so it's been just a lifelong journey of fitness and working out. That's what it's all about. Yeah, God, I love that. Hey, and I'm not done yet, buddy. Yeah. and I'm not done yet, buddy.

Yeah. You know? Sometimes I wonder what life would be like if I didn't, if I wouldn't have found CrossFit, what I would be doing, if I would be like, if I would be running or like, what would I do to stay in shape even? What do people even do to stay in shape if they're not doing CrossFit? I guess they just run or walk.

Yeah. You know, CrossFit's a complete game. Running's not. Running's okay. You know, it's really the only way to go. Mike, do you have a routine that you, a pretty strict regimen that you stick to? Like what time you work out, the movements you do, just for your own personal mobility and health? Yeah. Of course, you know, I coach.

And, you know, I change that around. And then, you know, I do the same for myself. You know, doing the same thing over and over again wears off. So whatever you do, you know, you got to change it all the time. Repetition is bad. You definitely are a CrossFit coach. I hear it in every word and thought that you have. How long have you been teaching coaching at CrossFit Instinct? Oh, I don't know.

14 years. God, it's wild. Are there any other 80-year-old coaches in the space? Not that I know of. Not that I know of. And I know a lot of coaches. Yeah, you sure do. You sure do.

Johnny Colley, one of our nurses, let you know that. And she's one of our sparks. Hey, you used to post a lot on Instagram instagram and then i noticed you you had you you stopped posting as much is there a reason why for that oh we lost him i was gonna show him this this is wild look at this coach ice bath. Yikes. Cold. Cold, cold, cold.

Oh, Molly Hahn. My husband and I own CrossFit Instinct. Oh, and you have your father-in-law as a coach there. I like that. I can't wait until I can use my kids to do something for me, edit videos for me. Let's see if Mike comes back on. Wait, isn't that one of those 5K ice buckets?

No. Oh, here he is. There he is. I lost you. Yeah, it happens. Sorry. Sorry. Hey, Mike, I've pulled up a picture of you in an ice bath. Do you do this frequently?

Do you like it? Yep. What else I do is take cold showers. When I get in the shower, I turn it on a cold. You know Wim Hof. Yeah, yeah. Hey, Mike, I'm 51, and for me, I have this story going on in my head. Yes.

That if I take a cold shower, my back is going to seize up. So I like taking the hottest shower possible to loosen myself up. You don't feel that? You wake up in the morning, you need to take a really hot shower just to loosen all this stuff up? Nah. No. Okay. shower just to loosen all this stuff up nah no yeah he okay cold promotes circulation okay uh where heat restricts circulation ah you got me yeah okay okay yeah so when i get under that cold shower you know yeah that's not like that for very long how long do you think you go a minute

a cold shower yeah seven minutes oh my goodness oh my goodness and then do you finish up with it hot no no no you get out i get out wow wow hey this has been a great podcast thank you i feel that i feel that way too you coaching today did you coach today already or do you still coach ahead of you? No, I'm going to coach tomorrow morning. Because of our podcast, I arranged other things. I have another coach that covered me early this morning. I would have coached at 7 o'clock our time. Is there anything, when you look back at your youth, are there any habits that you

thought if you were to share something with people there are any habits that are like yep everyone should i'm so glad i started this habit as a as a however old you were do you have any like premier habits disciplines things that you do that you're like hey people this one really worked for me. Look, I never quit. Things get hard. And I've had plenty of things get hard. I sucked it up, but I never quit. And most people, as soon as the stuff starts hitting the fan, they shut down. And the last thing you want to do is shut down. You want to fight your way through it.

And when you do, you're a better person. And what's the, for lack of a better word what's your motivation what's your motivation to fight through it how do you not surrender and indulge in the agony i i i've still got a lot to do in life right you know i hey and you you got to stay in shape. You've got to be prepared. And this will allow you to be prepared and stay in reasonable shape. To get through your days, to do what you need to do. Yeah. And, you know, I don't have a problem going to sleep at night. Right, right.

Yeah. And, Mike, do you live life by any certain values do i have what again i'm sorry do you live your life by any certain values like you treat others how you want to be treated stuff like that um you know any religious values any personal values do you have any values that you live your life by to help you get through the day, through life? Yeah. Yeah. You always want to treat somebody the best you can. You know, there's no excuse for being a jerk to anybody.

no excuse for being a jerk to anybody and and when you do that returns and and for every for every one i get like that i i get 10 back and you can't you can't get it any better than that so if you treat people poorly you'll be be prepared it's better than that. So if you treat people poorly, be prepared. It's coming back to you. And if you treat people well, it will also come back to you. Yep. Yep. How did you learn?

Do you remember how you learned that lesson? My dad. Your dad taught you that? Oh, yeah. He was tough. And that seems like those are good values for a firefighter. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

That's the kind of person you want coming to your rescue. Yeah. They're all in. They don't hesitate. They're all in. They don't hesitate. They're all in. You know, if somebody's on the third floor, you got to get up there and grab and put them on your shoulder and come back down with them. How many?

Yep. How often do you walk barefoot every single day? Do it again. I'm sorry. Do you walk barefoot every single day? Every day that I can. Yeah. Do you coach with your shoes on?

Sometimes I do. sometimes i don't it just depends on what the exercises are yeah yeah yeah and i recommend that yeah you want to go as barefoot as as much as you possibly can i only wear shoes if i'm rope climbing. Everything else I do barefoot, even rowers, salt bike, all that stuff. Yeah, I see you do it. That's great. When Mike wakes up in the morning, what's the first thing you eat? Do you start with vegetables? What's the first thing you eat in the morning? Do you eat in the morning?

Oh, yeah. I eat breakfast every morning. You know, I have herbs that I eat that my daughter's in acupuncture. One of my daughters is in acupuncture, and one of my daughters is in acupuncture and has things prescribed for me that I take. And then, you know, I have vegetables and stuff like that that I've made up beforehand, and I eat that. When I look at your Instagram, you also have a book you suggest by Avery Hansen on autophagy.

How is it that your kids still want to be in your life? For people who are parents out there, what's the trick so that your kids don't run away from you? How do you keep it so your kids will want to stay with you as you get older? I listen to them. I listen to them. They're smart.

Sometimes it really helped me out. I think that's what my mom told me when I asked her too. Yeah. She said, I bite my tongue. I'm like, why do you think I want to hang out with you so much? She said, I bite her too. Yeah. She said I bite my tongue. I'm like, why do you think I want to hang out with you so much? She said I bite my tongue. Right. That's right. That's right.

That's really good. Mike, someone in the audience wants to know if you put your shopping cart away religiously. Like every time you use your shopping cart, do you put your shopping cart away? They just want to judge you, Mike, if you say no. Boy, I don't understand. Ask me that again. You know, like when you go to the grocery store,

like sometimes I go to the grocery store and I use a shopping cart, and then when I get to my car, I just kick the wheels up on the curb So it doesn't roll away And I get in my car and drive off And these people judge me for that They say I'm a bad person And now they want to judge you They want me to ask you

Does Mike put his shopping cart away? I always push my shopping cart where it belongs Of course you make me look big I think I put it where it belongs too I just think it belongs up on the curb oh i understand uh tell me tell me so so you you uh thank you for you didn't coach today because you had to come on the podcast can you tell me what the rest of your day looks like? Okay, I'm going to relax after this because I was pretty jacked up to do what we're doing this morning. Cool, awesome. I really took it serious.

Thank you. I really took it serious. Thank you. And because I know there's going to be people listening to this that may change something in their life. Right. And so when I get done with this, I'll put it down and I'll just admit I'm going to just lay down and take a nap. Oh, me too. That's what I'm going to do too.

Perfect. Hey, we're on the same page, buddy me you do nap every day i like a 20 minute nap every day except i try not to fall asleep i just try to focus on my breathing and then i i usually do fall asleep but do you nap every day i take a nap every day hey it's a refresher. Right. How long is your nap? Whatever I need. If I don't need much of a nap, you know. 20 minutes is plenty. If I need. You know, 40 minutes. You know, I'll take 40 minutes. It's.

I like 20 minutes. I feel like there's a zone. If I sleep too much, I'm screwed. Yes, you are. Yeah. You don't want to sleep too much. Not during day. But at night. At night. Got to sleep. If anything is my downfall is I need to sleep more soundly at night. Yeah, I don't sleep so good at night either.

I wake up a lot. See, me too. Hey, you said you took this podcast seriously was there anything you wanted to get off your chest and share with the world was there anything where you're like hey i want to make sure i i say this on the show i want to make sure that i i'm able to share this with the people yeah you know everybody's got a chance. I have a gentleman with Parkinson's disease. His world is going to end in his mind until he starts working out with us

and doing what I asked him to do. And now he's a new man. So there's always a chance. Don't ever think there isn't. There's always a chance. Just like trying to be on this show this morning. It's big. And there's a ripple effect right because you help this dude with parkinson's and then other people throughout the day even when you're not present see wow this guy turned his life around and so there's this ripple effect yeah it goes crazy. People ask about it all the time.

It's big. When you say they ask about it, they say stuff like, hey, how can there be a guy in this class with Parkinson's disease? Yeah. And then make him work out like everybody else has to.

You know, I don't show him any, you know, I make him work hard and it pays off. He would, he may even be, he may even would have been in a hospital. Mike, how do you think this guy, how did this guy find you? And why does he trust you, you think? Because it takes a lot of trust, right? Yeah. His wife found me.

No. Oh, God. That's a long time ago. What did your dad say about your long hair uh did he like it no no but me you know i'm not saying i was a rebel but you know So I'm not saying I was a rebel, but, you know, I learned to think on my own for a long time.

Why do you think that is? Do you have any thoughts on the current state of society? Whenever I get into, like, this doomsday, like, mode, my dad will always kind of slap me around. He's like, hey, dude, this shit comes and goes all the time. Relax. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not easy to do. What's not easy to do?

Just relax. Yeah. It's not easy to do, and they recommend that, but hey, I'm always ready to get it on. You know what I mean? No, tell me. What do you mean? Well, I don't want...

If I had a fight... Yeah. It's always fight. Yeah. That's always there. Yeah. You know. My dad said it a little different. I asked my dad one time. I said, hey, as you get old.

This is, I don't know, 20 years ago. I was probably 30. I said, hey, as you get older, does your focus on women ever go away? women ever go away he said no i said really it doesn't he goes on he said it gets worse i was like oh no but i kind of i kind of equate that to fighting when you're a man you always kind of have it's always in you somewhere yep yep yep yep what city are you living in now Yeah. Yeah. What city are you living in now?

What city do you live in now? Springfield, Illinois. Okay. And how far is that from Waukegan? Far? 200 miles. Hey, Waukegan sounds like somewhere like where Laverne and Shirley was filmed or something, right? Or Happy Days or something like that. Yeah. it's...

I don't know. You know, I don't know. I don't know if... What Keegan's famous or not, I don't know. I've definitely heard the name. I'm trying to think. I think that there's two people i might know who live in springfield do you know a guy named cobra roads uh uh he's an actor now he used to be an arm

wrestler i guess he's still an arm wrestler black guy do you know him cobra roads does he live in springfield no and then there's and then there's another guy i think that might live in springfield mike he's like six six and i used to work out with him he used to go to UC Berkeley and I think and he's he's um he has this CrossFit Instagram account where he draws movements it's really big now I think his name's Carl Carl Eagleman do you know that name he's a giant dude 6'6 6'7 a gentleman of the highest order no never heard of him okay all right I'm trying to I'm trying to rattle my brain. Springfield, Illinois.

Is that where the Simpsons are? You know that show? Is that where the Simpsons are? Is that Simpsons cartoon supposed to take place in Springfield, Illinois? Yeah. I think it was another Springfield

and not Illinois. All right. You watch any TV? No, I don't have a TV. You don't own one? No. Hey, so when we sent you the link for the show and it came on your phone, to you it just looked like we were sending you a picture?

And you didn't know to click it? No. I just had to follow the instructions. Okay, gotcha. Once they popped on the screen, gotcha. Once that happened, then we got across. What iPhone do you have? I can.

Oh, okay. So you don't have the button, or you do have the button? What do you mean by that? So, like, some of the old iPhones have a button on them, and, like, the new ones don't. They're just a screen, and you have to swipe. You only do stuff by swiping around. Do you have a button on yours in the middle here?

Yeah, I'm sure I have a button on mine. It's what do you think about this theory? I have this idea, Mike, that as I get older, it's important to stay up to speed with technology. Like I didn't watch TV probably for like 20 years. And then all of a sudden I looked at a remote control and I'm like, what the what the hell happened to the remote controls? I can't even figure when I look at a remote control and I'm like, what the hell happened to the remote controls? I can't even figure, when I look at a remote control, it looks like a scary machine to me. Well, we got to be forced to think. Right.

I don't mean that in a negative way, but like TV does their thinking for us. Right. And we don't want that. And so some technology does our thinking for us. Right. And we don't want that. And so some technology does our work for us. And we need to do the work. That's a problem. And that work would be to take the information and use our own discernment?

Yes. Yeah. You got a brain. Yeah. You need to use it because your brain is no different than your bicep. They both need to work. Mike, are you single? Yes.

Is that a good way to live your life? There's better ways. Yeah. You, you, so you don't think that maybe just the grass is greener on the other side of the hill and just because you don't have a mate right now that you think it would be better? Uh, I don't, I don't know. I can't answer that.

I got so much going on that I'm pretty happy the way I am right now. Yeah, totally. I think that I always, not always, but whenever I think of the idea of my wife being gone, I always think of myself then becoming a monk. Like if something ever happened to my wife or she left me or something happened to her, I was just like, well, fuck it. I'd never start over another relationship again. Not because this one's bad.

I just don't want to do it again. this one's so not because this one's bad i just i just it's just um i just don't want to do it again you know there's a lot of truth to what you just said um what about um uh input so you don't watch tv i don't watch tv really either i watch fight i watch fighting but um i watch some a little bit of sports fighting and then one of my friends is about to become one of my friends is a quarterback for the chicago bears and so i started i started watching football again for the first time in 30 years kind of crazy right yeah um but what do you do for input what do you get um do you do you read do you listen to audiobooks how do you get input uh coaching coaching so so peer-to-peer

person to person yeah hey they tell me the truth yeah oh are you first generation born here mike uh no no you okay your dad generation born here, Mike? No. No, okay. Your dad was born here also. Yeah, yeah. My mom. Okay. But their parents came through Ellis Island.

From, do you remember where from? Yeah, Yugoslavia. Do you remember what year by any chance? Nah, it's maybe around 1900. Okay. God, isn't that wild? Our relatives came on boats. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And no money. Broke. Broke. Like really broke. Really broke. And probably didn't speak the language

of the country. No. They had to carve their own knives and forks. Go on and on about that. Like literally make their own utensils. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And go from there.

Hey, this is an interesting question, Mike. Someone has in the comments. George from the United States Marine Corps. Hey, this is an interesting question, Mike, someone has in the comments. George from the United States Marine Corps. Have you ever considered taking TRT, testosterone replacement therapy, or any things like that, any drugs like that? No. No.

No. Nah. That wouldn't have been me. Yeah. Yeah. Messing with your hormones seems kind of wild to me. Yeah, it is. I guess we do it when we eat sugar.

Yeah, sugar. Sugar is horrible for you. And anything else? Is there anything else that I want to make sure that if there's anything you have on your mind, you're absolutely able to share it. And you can always come back on, by the way. Just always send me a text. I'll have you back on. You never have to – you can come on just for 10 or 15 minutes if you want, if you remember something you want to have on. But is there anything else that you want to share that you can think of that you're like, oh, I can't wait to share this. This is my favorite recipe. Oh, this was my favorite lesson I learned in life. Well, you know, I couldn't be happier having to do what I do, okay, and helping people like I can. And that feeling is almost overwhelming. And not many people have the chance to have that feeling,

especially at my age. And that's a big deal. And that seems like to be one of those eternal truths, serving other people is the highest form of happiness. Big deal. You're right. Hey, are you vegan? Do you eat meat? Oh, yeah.

Trisha's Hiller wow wow see like this this this is flirting with I think I I'm gonna have to ask him that question right there even though there's a presupposition in it does that mean he's no longer chained down by HWPL? I'll have to start with, like, hey, why didn't you come on? This is your mom.

You're definitely not my mom. My mom would not say that. You think that's my mom? I've always thought Trish is Hobart. Wow. Wow. Wow. I'm going to call James Hobart. I'm going to call him really quick.

This is totally inappropriate. I wonder if I'm going to get in trouble for this. Every time I do this, I think someone's going to get mad at me. I wonder if he's going to get mad at me. to get mad at me. I wonder if he's going to get mad at me. Oh, someone accused me yesterday of staging the whole Laura Horvath conversation. They're like, dude, it's so obviously staged.

Um, I didn't send that. Uh, oh, uh, how, oh, hey. Uh, great. I just tried to call you. I just tried to call you live on the air. And Alexis Raptus.

Dude, she's dope. Alexis Raptus, Matt. Alexis, we'd love to have you on the podcast. Is that kind of pretentious? I mean, when I say the podcast, like everyone knows what it is. Okay, Mike Sulhodonic.

I know I didn't say that right. Still coaching at 80. Holy shit. Yeah, Raptus is fire, dude. I agree. Fucking nuts, dude. Hey, I swear, I challenge anybody to go watch that training think tank video that that dude made, the guy who hides behind the computer, and not fall in love with Alexis Raptus.

It's like 15 minutes long. It's from two weeks ago. Just watch 10 minutes of it. She's on the GHD next to Travis Mayer, and I was just like, oh my God, she is so cool. Dildo. Sebi, my gym hosted Rally in the Valley, a new hybrid comp that had some top-tier High Rock Spartan OCR athletes

competing in Hurricane West Virginia. Do a review show soon with our owner, Matt Stevens. Holy shit. No. I don't know. None of that shit interests me. Should it? Maybe it should.

Oh, Alexis Raptus is a Paper Street athlete. Oh, my goodness. I think it expired yesterday, the Paper Street coffee offer for subscriptions, 18% off. I just want to focus on Alexis Raptus a little bit because it's like one of the few times that David Weed and I are like on the same page. Yeah. Yeah.

She's beautiful, too. I like the way you say that. Yeah, she kind of is like got like this um uh eternal like she'd be pretty in like the 1800s or now i don't know what that is like romantic look like romanticism is that like an error or something she's cool and seems genuine uh oh that's not your regular number, so I ignored it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

It's the studio number. What was I going to ask Hobart? Was I going to ask him something? Was there a question I was going to ask Hobart? Wasn't I going to ask him something? Was there a question I was going to ask him? Magnus Holmgren, did Ricky show Hunter that CrossFit people

can actually jump into high rocks and perform better than the opposite? I don't know. Did he do it already? Did Ricky do it? I like her smile melting. I like it.

I think in the video, she also wears a one-piece bathing suit. I like a one-piece bathing suit. I think they're cool. God, I'm so scared. I haven't read this yet uh trish don't seven don't show about my things that's not actually crossfit for which i have pecutionary interest what the fuck is that i don't know what the fuck that word means caleb's not here to look it up fine i'll look it up. PEC. If my mom was in the chat, she would just tell me.

If that was really my mom, she would just tell me what it means. My mom knows everything. She's good with words. Relating to or consisting of money. Oh, don't show any of your financial interests. Okay, fine, I won't. Yeah, there you go caved astro uh girls who wear one piece or wife material yeah i think she wear it's like she i think right wasn't she wearing a one piece in there

i told my wife the other day, I'm like, hey, I saw this one piece bathing suit. I think tear makes it. I go, you should get that. And all of a sudden, I fucking got drilled for like saying something was wrong with her body. I'm like, dude,

are you fucking kidding me? My wife's body is insane. I rub my wife's, when I wake up in the morning, I rub my wife's body like a genie lamp. Like I get up at six and then I rub her body like for a minute. She doesn't even move. She just lays there.

And then like usually like sometime during the day, she'll be like, thank you for rubbing me. Yeah, no problem. I get on the side of the bed and I rub her like this. Stretch my back out. I go on my knees and she's high up on the side of the bed and I rub her like this and stretch my back out I go on my knees and she's high up on the bed I like I rub her feet and her legs she has crazy legs crazy legs and I rub her back

she got crazy lats too I rub her shoulders I like to touch her face too but she got hair fucking everywhere and it's like I waste like 20 seconds pulling her hair back. So sometimes I just avoid her face. I just kind of push up on her neck and rub her neck. Thank you.

You're welcome. And then I jump. Then I go, start up the coffee machine, I open all the blinds, I love opening the blinds, and looking outside, seeing what the day is going to be like, we have shit loads of blinds around the house,

so I walk around and open them all, we have those top down, bottom up blinds, anyone who's under 40 is like, huh? Why the fuck would I know what kind of blinds i have i ain't hating i don't blame you because what the fuck i make sure the boys bedroom window is open i got a little piece of wood in it so you can't break in our dog would fucking kill you anyway but

yeah i see oh what about travis is someone going to call in and tell me about tyson bajan not travis bajan tyson bajan someone is there seven is there he holds my legs back and ron forges my mangroves for eating jesus criminy yeah yep and then i open the front door and just let the – my whole property is fenced off, so I just open the front door and let the dogs go in and out, and the cold air starts rushing into the house. I'll walk out sometimes out on the lawn with some poop bags and look around for some poop. There's nothing better than starting the day with picking up some poop off the lawn. I have this obsession with picking up poop on my property.

Well, actually, the obsession is I don't want anyone to step in it. What was I going to ask Hobart? I'm going to try to call him again. Let me see. Let's see. Let's see if he'll answer. No, it's not too hot outside. Let's see if he answers now.

He knows now this is the number. Let's see if he mans up. Come on, Omar. Get it. Do it. Just do it. He's like, fuck, should I? I don't know if I should answer.

Should I text him, Don't be a pussy. I don't know if it's safe to go on that show. Your call has been... I did hear it. I did hear it. Hey, you know what's funny? Cave Dastro, Sebi, did you hear the Rich Man North of Richmond song? You know who sent me that song yesterday and said, hey, I want to talk about this song tomorrow is Greg Glassman.

He's actually given me a list of shit that he wants to talk about. Cool shit. He sent me this article from GQ magazine with this two-handed bowler. You know what I found the other day? Oh. Oh, Travis Bellinghaus. Hey.

Hey, are those shirts for sale? The Tyson Bajan shirts? I mean, no, sorry, not the tyson bajan shirts i mean no sorry not the tyson bajan chicago bear shirts that aren't really tyson bajan chicago bear shirts yes they are that's awesome hey dude people are asking me for the harley davidson one too that's not a harley davidson one those are on there oh they are okay everything's on the website okay yes sir how did tyson do make sure the phone oh that's cool you nobody else was calling him yeah thank you i have like i can see them over there i don't want to get up and leave you guys but i have this box full of like a hundred brand

new dvds i don't know who watches ds anymore, of Every Second Counts. That's the first CrossFit Games documentary. Pushed by me. Not wanted by many people to be made. So fucking glad I made it. Basically every single fucking documentary when I worked there, there was pushback. And me, I championed them. Me, I championed them through.

Yes, Heber. Well, I champion them through. Yes, Heber. Well, you're telling stories of Netflix about how I thought Netflix was a place where films go to die. Don't forget that that movie would have never, ever even like seen the light of day for two seconds if I didn't war with people

to get the money and get that shit pushed through. So did the Bottery bros put out their machines ahead of you just to big dick? I hope so. Everyone better do whatever they can. You better do that. Dude, I'm impressed how fast they got that out. That was pretty cool.

Dude, they're workhorses. They're fucking machines. Yeah. I haven't seen it, but I heard it's good, actually. It's good. It's a lot of, like, they put out clips throughout the week, so it's a lot of repeat stuff from that, but then there's additional stuff in there, too.

It's pretty cool. It was weird, like, to look back at the whole week, like, having been there, and then you look back at it, and you're like, holy shit, that was really cool. Yeah, a lot of shit happens, right? A lot of ups and downs. like to look back at the whole week like having been there and then you look back as like holy shit that was really cool yeah a lot of shit happens right a lot of ups and downs what do you think the cuts ended up being great don't you think i know that's biased the way i question that but yeah oh yeah hey i can't wait for the actual behind the scenes to come out it's i can't wait to do it again if if I were to, the only person I saw there, and

this is such an asshole thing to say because there was so much media there. The only person I saw working as hard as me was Heber. He was fucking everywhere. And like there's lots of times where you see media people taking breaks but like me and Heber weren't. So like I have to shoot my interviews and

shoot my B-roll. And then I have to shoot more interviews and I'm just trying to get everything and i felt like he was doing that too he was fucking everywhere and the way he holds his camera is crazy he holds his camera with one hand out in front of him like this on a stick on a gimbal it's nuts yeah and um but i did hear i heard that it's really good but i heard it was like 30 minutes too long from someone who told me that he goes hey i watch all their shit and I really liked their shit, but this stuff I wish would have been less of them and more of just games. But, um, but I, but the person also said it was great,

but it just like was 30 minutes too long. So I guess you could watch it in like one point five time. It seemed long because it was repeats. And then there was a lot of filling in for advertising you know they doing their goofy stuff for their advertising to do because that's how they get paid yeah uh it's good if you like a documentary about the buttery bros yeah well i'll i'll tell you this i have so um i mean this is just a classic cliche thing to say but I have so much more respect for everyone. Ah, that's not true.

Never mind. That's not true. I was going to say for everyone now that I've seen them work. There were some people that hardly work. It's crazy. It's fucking nuts. Like I never saw, I never saw them with, you see people in the media pit who,

I never saw them with a camera and iPhone out. It was nuts. Makes you wonder how some people get a media pass. Yeah. Dave told us in the meeting, very, very stern to Heber and I, which is just kind of crazy for us to hear. But I better not see you guys. I'm paraphrasing, but I better not see you guys down there

using this as a moment to socialize, meaning don't think you're the cool shit and go put your arm around Frazier and talk to him for three hours. You know what I mean? And just, like, get selfies with all the athletes. Like, don't be a douche. You're there to do your fucking job. I'll pull your media pass. I never saw even an inkling of that from Heber.

He fucking works his ass off. And people's cameras are heavy dude even that documentary crew that i was not impressed with those fucking guys worked man they were did you did you ever get the story on the girl who was running around with like the 1900s camera like i saw her walking around i was like what are you doing with that thing um what's crazy is you you know like when people get like the full accoutrement so like harley davidson tattoo bitch with fake tits on the back leather right like like it's not you don't just have the harley davidson you don't just have the bitch with the big fake titties you don't just you know what i mean like you get it all that that chick had it all she had the camera from the 1800s she had the fucking weird fucking tattoos that looked like they were from the 1800s she had like this this

crazy like hipster haircut she was like full she'd looked like she fell out of a hipster magazine. It was nuts. It was like one time I wore a CEO shirt and the CEO visor, and Dave goes, have you ever heard of overbranding? Yeah, like getting a man bun and being a filmmaker. It's like, yeah, it's a little much, dude. Yeah, I agree. I ain't hating David, asshole. That's funny.

Hey, I had posted this the other day. So I don't know sorry real quick i don't know i don't know i don't know everything i don't know much about her but but for me she was it was cool but it was a lot it was over the top she looked like a caricature of herself okay go ahead well i want to know like where are those photos because i want to see how i mean old cameras are cool yeah i can produce some awesome pictures like how do you cover the sport with that right she did have a fat i think she had also a canon mark d uh 1d mark 2 canon i think also or a mark 3 something whatever the fuck she had a nice can open up the she opened up the box and

slided inside of it yeah so she was actually using hey dude that's a killer idea no i wanted a question on it was a show the other day ago you're talking about sporty beth and and danny and the boys club and all that yeah is i would like to see uh mariah come on the show and give her side of it. Because like you said, the majority of your crew was women. And their arguments make no sense. Hey, dude. I had some girl who worked at CrossFit HQ who was a minority come up to me in the last couple years and be like, holy shit. What a fucking ding-dong I was. I go, what do you mean?

He goes, you never fucking cared that I was a girl or a minority, and that was like my whole trip, and now all I want in life is for people to see me as a person and not a girl and a minority. I'm like, uh-huh. I know. But the thing is, too, it's this. It's kind of like the natural evolution of human beings.

So on one hand, I might be annoyed by it, but we all go through that phase, right? I went through a phase like that. I went through a phase where all I wore were Malcolm X t-shirts. I probably would have been the ultimate BLM fucking ringleader. And every black organization has a good, strong Armenian lawyer. All of them. I challenge anyone to find, I guarantee you,

Martin Luther King, Malcolm X's, and the Black Panthers all had fucking Armenian lawyers. Oh, sure, dude. Joe Pesci-looking motherfuckers. Yeah, for sure. But I do think, so yeah, I need to have her on anyway. I think it would be cool. I didn't get a chance to talk to her.

I saw her one time when she came up to the Paper Street booth. I never got to have a conversation with her because I knew she was busy as hell. She's more – she's a charger. She's a charger, dude. She actually reminds me – she probably is not going to like this, but actually reminds me she probably was not gonna like this but she reminds me a lot of heber like so when she came there she showed up on the scene on the site and she showed up a couple days after me at um because she has three kids she just had twin she just had a baby and she has twins so she was breastfeeding while she was doing the whole

filming the behind the scenes and this year and when she comes in the room she's like which camera are you using what are your settings you guys need to turn your cards in here i mean she just takes over and heber does that too and i just fucking acquiesce like i wasn't like hold on a second this is my show i'll do i just was like all right i just like she's she learned she learned from heber and mars right didn't she film with them? Yeah, from everyone there at HQ. She probably cut her teeth a lot with them for sure. Yeah, yeah, for sure. I'd rather she answer that, but I think that that's a safe guess.

But that – like Mars isn't like the way she is. I'm not like the way she is. Like her and Heber are like when they come in the – she's alpha as a motherfucker. Yeah, she's alpha. Yeah, Phillip nailed it yeah i i don't um when she came in i for me personally i felt it as a sense of relief i was like thank god like she has all the she's the only person i have my footage she's the only person has all the footage she took all the footage home she's organizing it she's like she's sending it to the people who are going to cut the reels she's she's like and i'm like hey so you can take over the whole entire project no no no it's your project

But how are you supposed to have a division for you guys? We can't even fucking decide in this country if we're going to have men and women. I know, isn't Jedediah great? Jedediah is in the Amish division. Yes, he is. Hey, that's a great division, a division that uses no technology. I don't have an Instagram account nor a cell phone.

Holy shit. I want to be the dude who... I want to be the official person who studies the appendages. What is it? Just chicks with giant tits and dudes with giant hogs? You would be surprised and love it. I know. I know I would love it. It would be so awesome. No, it can't be. You can't couch it as something negative. Like, it can't be vertically challenged either. It's just like, it's like the environmentally friendly human, you know what I mean? Because their beds are smaller and they produce less waste. That's what it is.
