Everybody's welcome.
Peace and love.
It's a sad bomb podcast show.
Bam.
We're live.
Bam.
We're live.
Yo, what's up guys?
Good morning.
Good to see everyone.
Pump for this morning show.
Patrick Bielner coming in the house.
Man.
Uh, every show Pat does gets big numbers.
Good dude.
Jonathan, what's up?
Oh, hello.
We pre-chatting here?
Pre-chatting? Sarah Cooper, hello Ortega.
Deja Entendu. Morning y'all.
I watched the entire, um, Kimberly Cheetal, like five hours. I watched it at like one and a half speed.
I took shitloads of notes and time codes
I'd love to do a show and go through that with you guys if you guys want to do that. I
Think it'll be there's some pretty interesting stuff in there
It was interesting. I did did anyone here watch it and have sympathy for I started getting sympathetic for her
have sympathy for her. I started getting sympathetic for her.
I, I, I, I didn't, she, yeah, she got grilled. Do you guys believe, were you guys, what about that? You know, she keeps saying there's an investigation under way. Well, there were two things going on.
There was a conflation between the two investigations or minimum of two investigations going on, right? So on one hand, she's investigating
what went wrong with her team, and then the FBI is investigating the assassination attempt, right?
So they would ask her questions about both, but towards the end there, they were just
railing or basically saying, hey, you have information and you're withholding it. And she's
like basically like, yeah, I am withholding it from you
But it's information I got from the FBI and you need to get it directly from the FBI
and I thought that was valid I
thought that was a valid I
Thought that was valid Pat Lang. What's up, dude? Good morning
She resigned earlier this morning. No shit. Wow. Someone said something really strong to her at the end.
They said, hey, basically, none of the congresspeople feel safe with you in charge anymore.
And I guess if your job is to protect people and you don't feel safe,
then you got to fire that person.
Hi Pat.
Hey, how you doing?
Dude, I'm doing amazing.
How are you getting by man?
That's the interesting setup.
I haven't seen this one.
I like the candle.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Yeah.
Uh, I'm at my parents' house.
Oh, that is a parent's. Oh That is a parents candle
That is a candle. That's something I'm having her house too with an unlit candle in it
I like how we had for a long long time, you know, yes. Yes
Hey
Um
Getting by because you're prepping for the games your your wife is a physician, you're a chiropractor,
you have two kids, and you moved all of your world's belongings and had to deal with
real estate sales and purchases and a new home that was built all in the last two months.
It's been a condensed life in the last two months. It's been a condensed life in the last few months.
It's a lot just signing the paperwork
on a new house is crazy.
You see that stack of papers,
and you're like, oh, that'll ruin my month.
Yeah, so things have been hectic for sure.
I feel like we're firing over here, you know?
But yeah, that's kind of why I'm getting by.
I'm doing what I need to do to make everything,
to keep everything afloat.
And then, you know, we are flailing a little bit though.
It's nice, that's why it's nice to have some family around
and some people to help in the short term here.
But it's been busy.
I singularly distilled all my issues with my kids
down to one phenomenon.
Oh, let's hear it.
I'm, I'm in a rush.
Yeah. That's the constant conundrum, right? Um,
I think it would be amazing to just have unlimited time, right?
But there's always a pull right and
but do you feel do you have pain like you get mad at your kids and then you
can distill it down why am I mad well because I'm trying to get to fucking
over here and I can't get them to do I I don't have the window of time to be
patient so at some point I'm raising my voice I'm picking them up I'm doing
things that are because of time,
because I'm all of a sudden in a rush.
Yeah, I mean the problem is things,
the world runs on time.
Right.
Right, like time is the one resource
that is like we all need more of
and there's never enough of, right?
Resource, I like how you say that, resource.
I think that time is what you're spending everywhere. And most of
the time you feel like, you know, I'm rushing because I got
to get the kids out the door because I have to get to work.
Because if I don't get to work, I'm going to get fired. And now
our whole family's got a whole other problem. Like there are
there are things that need to happen on a specific time. And I
think that's why overall, I'm grateful for the fact that we,
And I think that's why overall I'm grateful for the fact that we, you know, most of our life we've been able to build in a way that allows us to take time when we need it.
You know, even my wife works hard and works a lot.
She's on Matley right now, but she kind of gets to make her own hours to a certain degree.
And I'm kind of the same and I can train.
Things can get done when they need to get done.
There's ideal windows for sure.
But we have a little bit of flexibility,
maybe more than the average family unit.
So we're really lucky, but for sure I feel the same way.
And that's, the problem is every day
you're the last one that gets to eat, right?
Like you're, sometimes you're spending all the time
and whatever,
and then there's not enough time left for yourself to feel like you get to just,
you know,
recover a little bit and feel like you're sit down. You take a breath. Yeah.
The second you sit down, there's another, there's another thing.
Another one of the kids is falling on their head and somebody's got to eat and
someone's screaming and it's like a bit of a constant circus.
So we're getting used to that. I think we had a talk about it yesterday briefly just
because we're at my parents live on a lake and so we're kind of we're here and we're
kind of on holiday except you know I'm training and a lake holiday doesn't look the same when
you've got two young kids and like my my brother's has young kids that are here.
And so my wife's like, man, I remember when I used to come here
read my book on the deck.
And it's not like it's not like that anymore. Right.
Like you're constantly separating two kids who slapped each other.
And you're trying to figure out when juggling naptimes.
So our youngest is five months
and my older one is just over three.
And my brother's kids are, I think they're basically,
he has a older daughter that's like four, five,
I should know, five, I think.
And then his son is like six weeks younger than our oldest.
And then they have a new daughter who's about six weeks again younger than our youngest. So we're very close together.
So there's five kids.
Yeah. And there's two like infants that are like between three and five months old. And
then there's two toddlers that are about three years old. And then there's one that's a little
bit older. So it's just, it's chaotic. So, you know, you're constantly trying to, uh,
I don't know, trying to service everybody's needs and it's not easy,
but that's the thing. You're right. Like then, then you just don't,
the second you lay down, cause you're like, Oh,
I get a second to catch my breath. Then there's another bomb going off.
And any tension between the two families of how you guys are raising your kids,
any conflict there that can sometimes be like,
you can get along with another family. Great.
And then you get kids in the mix and you're like, Ooh,
I don't like the way that kid treats my kid.
I think everyone's style is a little bit different, even person to person, right?
Like if it's, if it's not just within the couple, it's like,
whether it's mom or dad. Um,
and then it's not just the two of us because it's also my parents, right. And then
their style is a little bit different as well. Right. There's
I would say that there's more difference between my parents and
us versus my family unit and my brother's family unit, I'd say
we're closer. And I think it's that's like a stage of life
thing to like, I don't think my parents have necessarily
the same patience for like toddler meltdown
because they're so far removed from that.
And when they were younger,
I bet you it looked a little bit different.
Although I don't know,
parenting in that era has just been,
it's the world changes, right?
Like it's a little bit different raising a kid now
than it was 30 years ago too.
So I think there's some of that for sure.
And so every now and then you gotta kind of look
at each other like, hey, that's,
I'll parent my kid, thank you.
But also at the same time, you know,
we're asking for the help.
So you can take whatever form the help comes in.
You know, Pat, when I had my first kid
and my parents would do certain things to my kids,
like my dad keeps cough drops in the car.
That's just an excuse for candy, like those Rocolas.
And when I had my first kid, every time,
and my dad comes over and spends a night and a week,
and spends so, and when he's here,
he just immerses himself in the kids.
So with my first kid, when he would give them Rocolas,
it used to make my blood boil.
Like, why are you giving my kid sugar?
But at some point, I realized
that's their relationship with those two human beings, you know, my stepmom and my dad. And I'm not, I'm going to
just, I'm going to just accept it. I'm not going to fight that. But that's not going to be my relationship. Like, I'm
going to have distinct rules different than those rules. And it, did you ever go through that? Like, at first,
you're like, you're trying to get your parents to raise your kids the way you want them. And did you ever go through that? Like at first you're like,
you're trying to get your parents
to raise your kids the way you want them.
And then afterwards you're like, wait a second,
my kids are gonna have that relationship
with those two people and it's just gonna be different.
Yeah, I think we've been okay.
I wanna say we've been okay at recognizing that
from the beginning that it's just-
Even with the first kid,
it's so much better to chill. Yeah, and I mean, my older brother had a kid many years before we did.
So I think we kind of got to see it a little bit and like, Oh,
this is what grandparent dynamics are like. And like, you know,
you're gonna, you hear about it from them or whatever.
And everybody kind of knows that you go,
your kids will get spoiled at grandma and grandpa's place. Yep. Yep.
We are very fortunate that, you know,
sounds like your dad was very good at engaging with the kids and yeah, we're both my mom and dad. They just ignore me.
I engage the kids the whole time. Right. Yeah. Like, but we have very healthy and active
parents, which is great. So the, my, my parents are able to, and like I said, my folks live
on the lake. So my dad is out in the water playing
and throwing the kids in the afternoon and stuff,
and we're really lucky to have
that level of engagement as well, right?
Like that's, you know, not everybody gets that,
and so we're super fortunate to have people
that are willing to be that level of involved,
because it helps a ton,
especially when you're at critical periods of your life,
like where we've got tons of stuff going on
and it probably, I mean, we keep telling ourselves
it will never be this busy again.
And we somehow find a way to make it happen again.
But I feel like we've been telling ourselves that
for a couple of years now.
But hopefully, you know, once we get through this
and the house is done and the kids are all settled
in daycares and things like that,
then we'll just be rolling again.
But it's definitely hectic right now.
PFA rip to the Sevan podcast, Pat is the best.
We're so happy to have him on our athlete board.
Happy to be there.
I think that's some sort of,
I think that's some sort of joke., I think that's some sort of joke.
I just typed it. That was me. That was me. Just you're trolling yourself. Yeah.
Uh, you were on Dave's podcast.
Yeah. How was that?
A dynamic with him. That was kind of a fun one to watch.
Not kind of, that wasn't fun.
Why do you find that?
Well, I didn't see it this way until someone told me,
he goes, oh, he goes, that was just a tit for tat
back and forth.
That was just Dave and Pat in the playground
just pushing each other back and forth.
Just like a tit for tat.
Did you get that?
I didn't see that at first,
and then I watched it a second time.
I'm like, oh, I could see a little bit of that.
They're having a little fun, a little like.
Yeah, I like Dave.
Like I think we, I think there's been a bit of imperative.
You do like him?
You enjoy it?
I don't mind him.
I think that I like.
That's different than liking him.
That's different than liking him.
So I like Dave in like a one-on-one setting like that. I think than like, you know, that's different. So I like Dave in like a like a one-on-one setting like that
Mm-hmm. I think that like, you know, he's
He's a guy doing his best, right? I think that the image he puts out sometimes in his his
his fucking WWE persona, I don't have a lot of time for but uh, I
Think that the conversations I've had with him in private or like one-on-one settings have always been pretty reasonable.
And I so that just felt a bit like I wasn't trying to be antagonistic in any way or like hugely overtly critical.
Like I think some people maybe expected me to like just come in there and like throw punches at Dave and like I don't have any reason to do that. But I'm happy to I'm happy to challenge him a little
bit and I think that I enjoy challenging a little bit and I don't think a lot of people
do that. Particularly in the athlete community.
Well, challenge a lot of head nodding, but just not one on one, right? You know what
I mean? I mean, the crowd's always like throwing tomatoes at them.
But one-on-one-
I think that's easy to ignore though.
Cause that's like internet comments.
It's just like, I'm not gonna read any of them
so I don't care at all about them.
But I think that when you have someone who,
you know, you have some level of respect for it,
like giving you some back and forth,
I think that there's just like something there. So I always like having conversations like that with Dave. I've done it a
lot of times in the past. I think there's been a bit of a public persona that we like hate each
other or something like that. But no, I think that we just we I think both of us care about the sport
a lot, obviously. And everybody wants to see things succeed. So when you see areas where you're like,
Hey, have you thought about this or that,
I think it's useful conversation
and the way that everybody navigates that
and deals with it or what the conversation looks like,
everybody's style is a little bit different.
So I think at this point,
we have a little bit of fun with it.
And I think we give meaningful feedback
and I hear what he says and he hears what I say.
And then, you know, you just do with it what you will. it and I think we give meaningful feedback and I hear what he says and he hears what I say and
and then you know you just you do with it what you will but I had fun chatting with Dave. I think
it's fun it kind of makes you realize how long you've been around too. It's parts of that
conversation I was like fuck that's like 10 years ago right. So which is cool I think it's you know
you don't realize sometimes how much of a relationship you build with someone kind of by
accident. It's like, I, it's not like I've spent a lot of, you know, I probably have a conversation
with Dave, like once or twice a year, right? For the last nine or 10 years. But over that time,
it's like, oh, there's a lot of shared experience in that. So you have sit down to have like a 30
minute chat, and you're like,
oh man, actually like we've got a lot of things that we've been through together kind of thing.
And it's pretty cool. So yeah, I had a fun time chatting with him.
It's like the kid that you're in kindergarten with and then 12 years later, you're graduating
as a senior from high school. And you've only talked to that kid like,
you know, once a month, every year for the last 12 years. But when you graduate, you're like, Holy shit, this guy's like in my family.
Like I know this guy better than I know some of my fucking family members.
I've been going to school with this kid for 12 years.
And even when you look back at it, you know, it's been, you know,
I don't know how long it's been since I graduated from high school,
but even when you look back at it, like those people played a significant role in your
life. You saw them every day for 12 years.
Yeah, that's really good. Actually, really good. Yeah,
yeah. Yeah.
But you didn't know them. I mean, there was even kids you
just went to high school with, like you saw them every single
day. They sat next to you in one class every single day, but you
said fucking only 1000 words to him in four years.
But you feel close to him because you have all that shared experience. You were there
when the teacher fucking shit his pants in English class.
I was in this taxi cab one time, Patrick, and it was like three in the morning guy was
taking me to an airport. It was in a lightning storm. It was I was in Kansas. I was leaving
a film festival to go to an airport,
and it was pouring rain, and the guy weighed 500 pounds.
The guy was so fat.
The fiber?
Yeah, and we were in a minivan.
And you know when someone's so fat
that they have to have the seat backed up all the way
and the seat laying down?
Have you ever seen that phenomenon?
They have to lay the seat down.
And the seat's down?
Yeah, the seat's laid down all the way,
so it takes the back seat.
But they still sit upright because they're so big.
Anyway, he goes, hey, I'm really sorry.
I have to pull over and go to the bathroom.
And he pulls over on the side of the freeway.
We're already only doing 10 miles an hour on the freeway
because it's raining so hard.
And I'm back there with this girl who's
the producer of the movie.
And he pulls out a bottle.
And he goes, I'm sorry, ma'am. And he pees in the bottle because he can't get out of the car and at the time i was
like what the fuck this is fucking wild but in hindsight i wouldn't change anything because it's
the only taxi cab ride i remember my entire life you know what i mean like a step to me forever
that's the that's trucker style that's like the way to the road. Is Dave kind of like that too?
Like as you get, as you've been this many years
in the relationship, you wouldn't have it any other way.
Like he's just, he's the frustrations or the jockeying
or the tension, whatever you want to call it
has been an important part of the landscape that makes it memorable
Is there any is there any component to that I
Don't think so. No for me personally. No, no, I think some people might feel that way
I don't think it's an it's I don't think it's an invalid feeling
For me personally, I don't think so. I think there's just in our sport, I think
the storylines should be about the athletes competing against each other, the athletes,
you know, accomplishing these incredible feats or, you know, beating some of these tests
or doing things we didn't think they could do. Not about, about squabbling with the guy who's making the tests. I don't think, I don't think
there's, I don't think that's a necessary component to it, I
guess.
It hasn't added like value or memories as you look at it.
Not really. Not for me. Like when I sit back and look at my
body of work, it's not about like, you know,
the only example I could think of that maybe would fit into that box is,
had the 21 games when they did another interval workout and the athletes just
like did the workout way faster than anybody thought. And like, like
Tia and BK almost did it in one interval, and they thought it would take three or four.
And that was kind of a fun like, oh, it felt like the athletes like beating the test, like
breaking the test to a level that like they didn't think was possible. Yeah, which was
I thought that I thought that was funny to watch Dave stand on the sidelines and like pull his
hair out over it. Yeah, like holy shit. I really missed on
this one, which doesn't happen super often to his credit,
right? But yeah, that did frustrate him. I thought it was
awesome. I thought it allowed to really agree. Like, I thought
it was awesome. He was like, he was break the cap. Yeah, like,
that's that's my testament to some of the other and that's kind of a fun. So I
would prefer to look at it through that frame of like, hey,
well, they created this thing. And they're like, oh, you know,
we'll make these time cutoffs. And then the athletes were just
like swatted it away like it was nothing. And it's like, all these
people are a little bit better than we thought they would be
even on Sunday. So I think that's cool. It doesn't necessarily
have anything to do with him. I think it was just funny to see his face when we walked off the field.
So he said in an interview that these interviews have and I'm paraphrasing but that these
interview he didn't realize that over the years there's been a me versus them mentality and these
interviews have revealed that to him and sort of breaking broken that down a
little bit and and so now what I'm hearing you say and I've never heard an
athlete say it is the same thing that there was a component of us versus him
that he was the taskmaster and that was in you guys beat him there yeah what's
kind of interesting and I didn't challenge him on this again, it wasn't the mood I was in. But I
think he's cultivated that. Right, right. That's the culture
he said, yeah, the us versus them thing like he made that.
Yeah, that that's 100% in my opinion, his creation. And now
he's kind of like, ah, I feel like there's this different culture. And I think
part of the differences is now a lot of the one of the things he
said that I actually agree with is, in the past, there were a
few more touch points that CrossFit Games was more heavily
involved in things like the invitational like things like
the open announcements where he would be at and have a chance to
be with the athletes in a less stressful
Less formal setting it's hard to even for us like when you
Go to the games and you're and you're spending a lot of time with these athletes and people that I'm actually friends with like you
Don't really say much of a civil word to a lot of them
And then you go to like the rogue imitation or water blues or somewhere and you do a team of three and then you're having a
blast and you get to know people a lot better because there's
just a less pressure. So I think there used to be more places for
him to actually get to know athletes. And then there's there
stopped being those for whatever reason. But then so then he had
the athletes that he knew well who were around in that era and
many of them have aged out.
And now there's this new cohort that's come in.
And there's only a few of us left that he has like a relationship with outside of being
on the competition floor.
And I think he started to feel that he's like, Holy shit, like I don't even really recognize
most of these names or know any of them or anything about them.
And he was feeling a little bit other.
So and I think
it's, it's, you know, I think it's a good thing that he did. Right. And I think it's
cool for him to recognize that and try to make an effort to remedy it. Right. But I
think that's what it was.
Do you think he needs to know like two of the two of the big, the two of the funny things
that really stood out that he's really not paying attention to placement was Emma Lawson when he interviewed Emma Lawson he was kind of like holy shit
you're gonna you're gonna be good you're good and then his thing with Alex
Gazan he didn't know Alex Gazan was you know took fourth or fifth place in last
year's games do you think that that is a bad reflection on him or a good
reflection or do you have any thoughts on that because, everyone knows who Emma Lawson is, right?
I mean, she's like the, she with Malgon, she's the second coming.
Right.
So what I think about that, like for me is basically it means you're not paying
enough attention to your own sport.
Um, and I, is that a good thing?
I want to be clear.
Is that a good thing?
So I think it's a bad thing.
You do think it's a bad thing.
You do think it's a bad thing? Okay. Okay.
And I asked him a little bit about that in the context of programming at the end of the
interview saying like, Hey, you know, he's been very candid about saying he doesn't watch
other competitions to see anything about programming. He completely checks out and he only does
his job around the games.
So an earlier in the interview, I had mentioned about how I try to follow some of what other
athletes are doing throughout the year in competition, just to make sure I have a little
bit of an eye on what the level is that you need to be performing certain movements or
certain things so that I know it's doing homework.
It's so that I know when I see these guys or I see this style of event, how fast is should I be
doing 50 calories in a 10 minute workout on a rower to be
competitive for a top spot. Like you have to know those things
that to me, that's part of training, like that's just
doing your homework. And to see it's a bit disheartening for me
to see the guy who's programming all this stuff be so checked out
about like, you know, if another competition is programming something and they make a mistake,
it's part of your job to know that so you don't repeat the mistake at your competition.
To me also, that's just doing your homework.
And if we're over here kind of doing everything we need to do,
to me the problem is if those mistakes come out, he's not the one who suffers.
The athletes on the floor are the ones who suffer. So we're the ones who get the consequences,
but he gets to just like kind of say, ah, you know, I don't feel like paying attention most of
the year. And he said, you know, I like to spend some time checking out and being involved with
family and other things, which I get. But I think like,
like it's part of your job. Like you kind of have to do your job and we expect a certain level of
your job. It just like you expect us to do our job at a certain level. Why do you think it's
important? Why do you think it's important though that he knows who Emma Lawson is?
Like for me, I just, it was shocking, but I couldn't think of a reason why it was important
It's not super important, but I think it's a symptom. It just shows that he's not paying attention. Oh
Because he doesn't know her name
Because he doesn't know anything about her
Right. She she came into the games one rookie of the year and then the next year came second
Like she said like a cumulative finish of the games of rookie of the year, and then the next year came second. She's had
a cumulative finish of the games of third or fourth place out of two years. Knowing her name isn't super important, but knowing that there's a new young female on the scene and this is her,
and like you said, she's great. She's great. She's great.
I think that you should be peripherally aware of that. And if you're not, it just kind of to me means like,
are you actually watching the competition
or paying attention at all?
And that's not like, again,
it's not important to know the athletes names necessarily
or like everything about them,
but it looks like a symptom of like,
that's the itch that tells you you got an STI.
It's like, if you can't look at that girl and be like,
oh, you're the girl who came second second last year at least it just to me means
like what do you want are you watching what's STI mean it's the
sexually transmitted infection oh I was making a lewd analogy so that you would
understand I appreciate I think in the States we call it. I'm surprised you didn't. I think we, I think I'm so old school.
I think we call it STD.
Yeah, see you can't call it disease anymore.
Oh.
No.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
I love Canada.
Brandon S. Dana White keeps a close eye
on all the other fight organizations.
Absolutely not true.
He was interviewed the day of the fight
of the Jake Paul Mike Perry fight
and he had no fucking clue they were even fighting. But he does keep a close eye on the fighters.
He does know the fighters. I will say that he's a huge fan of the he's a huge fan of
the sport.
Anyway, and again, I think that that's my that's how my brain works. And not everybody
is the same. And that's like, how about VD? You can't say VD either?
You can't say VD either? Venereal disease? No disease?
I think the technical description of a disease is what's limiting that language now.
That's not a disease, it's an infection.
Oh, okay. Let me see. And I couldn't tell you exactly why. I just know that that's what the game is.
A disease is a disorder of structure or function in a human animal plant, especially one that
has been known to cause and a distinctive group of symptoms.
Oh, shit.
I hate it when I don't even understand the definition.
Okay. You do anyway. I don't want to talk I don't want to talk about venereal
diseases and then accidentally get one. Good. Good plan.
Ryan Kendall, I've had a few sexually transmitted feelings. Oh, STF. That's good
Standy Randy I used to think it was Dave acting like he doesn't know who these people are because that's how a lot of Operators act but now I'm not sure. Oh meaning like it's not an act. He really doesn't know I think he really didn't know I
Don't know could be could be that he's just kind of posturing a little bit
It feels very comfortable not knowing he I never saw him like turn red or squirm.
Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
And I guess, and like I said,
that's maybe just a difference in how my brain works
and what my style is.
That would make me extremely uncomfortable
if I was in his position.
If I didn't know anything about-
Yeah, when I didn't know how to say Lazarus name.
That I was organizing.
Yeah.
I'd feel silly and
so and I mean you know he doesn't and that's great as long as he keeps doing a pretty good job that's
great uh but I just I think that the point always for me is like is is good enough good enough or
should you be trying to be better at your job every time um and I think on our part, we're always trying to improve and push things
forward. And so it's again, it's disheartening to see a blase approach to like, you know,
we've made enough mistakes on our own, like we got our hands full trying to fix our own errors,
let alone trying to fix the problems that other competitions have. And it's like, man,
if you can, you keep making a new mistake every year though. And if you started paying attention to other events, maybe you would stop that.
And then at least you'd stop the, um, the build of errors that you have to
keep looking back on, like start, start to workshopping upstream problems.
Uh, so that, you know, you don't make mistakes.
Like to me, that's like obvious, but anyway, I don't know.
And again, I'm not, not trying to be overly critical. I
think Dave does a good job programming the games. I think
most years, there's maybe one, one kind of bad error, but out
of 1213 1415 events, like, it was so many variables at play,
like, that's really good. Yeah, the games are like 95% good most
years, which is great. Like, that's, that's a really good Yeah, the games are like 95% good most years
Which is great. Like that's that's a really good track record to have so I think he's I think he does a really good job
Seve do you think Pat's points are the reason why CF media doesn't follow athletes or promote them during the season due to TDCs?
interest in them no zero connection he is a huge proponent of
Mass media for the athletes
Huge huge huge huge. He's as frustrated huge proponent of mass media for the athletes.
Huge, huge, huge, huge. He's as frustrated as anyone.
And the fact that he took matters into his own hand,
I think if people knew the risks he takes
to do things like that,
I think people would be really surprised.
I think what he's doing is, no, not even close, the opposite.
But good question, Anthony. Pat, I want to play you a little clip. This is from your interview with him.
This got me really charged up. I started a lot of rhetoric in my head about you, Pat, after I saw this.
Okay, ready? Let's hear it.
Here we go.
Yeah.
Let me think if I have anything easy.
Why haven't you monetized your YouTube with these interviews?
That's a great question, actually.
I don't think...
Why did you ask him that?
Let me tell you where I went with it.
Sure. And then you tell me, hey, God, you're I went with it. Sure.
And then you tell me, hey, God, you're a paranoid douche.
I thought this fucking Canadian socialist doesn't want to let this guy fucking make
35 cents on a video.
And he's trying to play gotcha with my boy Dave.
I got really like, oh, I got really like, like you were trying to play gotcha with him.
Like it would have been wrong that he monetized them.
It would have been, it would have been.
Yeah, it would have been.
I think his answer was exactly why I asked.
And that's why I was like, that's a great answer.
Why would it have been, why would it have been wrong if he monetized them?
Because there's no CrossFit media and none of the athletes are going to say no to
Dave, right?
And he would be taking advantage of a position of power to create the only CrossFit media around the athletes are gonna say no to Dave. Right. And he would be taking advantage of a position of power
to create the only CrossFit media around the athletes.
So anybody who wants to know anything about the athletes
has to go through Dave's personal account.
This was like part of the problem.
This was one of the problems.
But that's not true.
That last thing you said is not true.
What part?
There's tons of media.
The two things that this is way outside the scope of his job.
He doesn't have to be doing this. I don't know if he knows the scope of his job. He doesn't have to be doing this
And know the scope of his job anymore to be honest, but sure
And there's tons of other media for athletes, right?
Yes, but so not in turn. Oh, yes. Yes. Yes I'm using his position I do create media that nobody can say no to and then it would just be I think his answer was
Perfect. He actually nailed exactly what I was hoping he would say. Right. Um,
which is terrific. I, and again, like I just, it was a bit of a, like, Hey,
did you think about doing this just to see? And his answer was exactly what I
would have hoped and what I would expect a professional in his position to
answer. Like, so that was a great, I think he did a, he, he was perfect. That
was, I agree exactly with what he said. And that's exactly what I would hope anybody in his position would do and say oh
Let's play. Okay. Let's see
I don't to be honest
I was delaying a little bit because I didn't have a good question yet
and then it was like maybe if I can get him to talk a little bit I could actually come up with a
question, but
With that I'm bored for CrossFit and then I'm using my access to you guys through CrossFit
to for my channel to monetize
So I'm not comfortable doing that. I think that's it. Yeah, if I was doing that that would be
Taking advantage of my position with CrossFit and you guys and and so that's that's why I very deliberately and that's I'm glad you brought
That up. I very deliberately am NOT doing that for exactly that
Cool. Yeah, I thought I checked the other day just to see it I was like I just hate to see someone whole I agree with all the points you're saying that
it would be taking advantage and maybe it's not appropriate but the other part
of me is is like he doesn't have to be doing it.
Yeah, you know what I saw, Sevan, that I actually thought was a cool comment from somebody was
they said, oh, what he should have done is monetized it all.
And then on the like Saturday morning of the games when we're doing Chad, like announced
that they were donating all the proceeds from that to the PTSD foundation.
It's like, and I was like, well, that would have been a really cool way to do it. But I just think
doing something like that for personal gain, when you work for
the company and things is just a little bit icky, like it's a
weird gray area. So I think his answer was perfect. And that
comment that I saw, I was like, that would have been really
cool. Like, had he monetized it, but then allocated the funds for
something within CrossFit or within like one of those
fundraising, fundraising foundations, charitable donations,
would have been a really cool move,
a really cool way to do it.
So like there's ways to do it for sure, but it's just,
yeah, I just think it's when you're using your position
within a company for personal gain outside of like
the company's, like your scope, like you're saying,
with what your job might be, it's weird gray area.
And people can disagree with me if they want, but.
Do you appreciate the fact that he's doing these? like you're saying with what your job might be, it's weird gray area. And people can disagree with me if they want, but.
Do you appreciate the fact that he's doing these?
I think it's good to do something.
Like I think that, you know, back in the day, you know,
when I started and there was more CrossFit media,
it was really helpful for especially new athletes
to be highlighted.
And I think that in the scheme of CrossFit land, like most of the
livelihood of athletes is made through sponsorship and that kind of thing. So creating more visibility
for athletes is a huge bonus. So I think it's really good to have more stuff out there. Like
you would, I'm sure, agree more media is always good right. Caller go ahead. I think I think
it's good. Oh wow I am I am on the show. Hi so I have a question. Is this Jela? Is this
Jela Hosta? No it is not. Please pretend like you are. Go on. Okay you sound like him. Okay
so I just need to grow my jaw then. Okay yes just grow your jaw larger. Hello Jela how
are you? Welcome to the show. Fine fine. Just go larger. Hello, Yala.
How are you?
Welcome to the show.
Fine.
Fine.
Just a question.
I was thinking about what you were saying about Castro and its connection with the athletes.
And I was wondering, do you think maybe before it was more connected to the athletes?
I'm just thinking that because when you take a look at the YouTube channel of CrossFit
or CrossFit Games, there were back then a lot of videos, you know, of him running in daily,
like doing small tiny competitions, like small friendly events that were linked to CrossFit
directly. And maybe because CrossFit is not creating the bridge between him and the athletes,
maybe, maybe that's why this connection is lacking nowadays.
Yeah, great point.
And the fact that so many athletes used to be
on the level one team and Dave was always
with the level one team.
There's all sorts of, there were a ton of touch points.
Great point between Dave and the athletes 10 years ago
that don't exist today.
And I think Pat was alluding to those two more than alluding to them, pointing to them,
like when he talked about the invitational.
Yeah, for sure, for sure.
Great, great point.
And by the way, if your kids need someone to play with,
bring them over to the lake house.
Pat has five kids over there that need new friends.
Is that a bird or a kid in the background?
My house? It's a kid.
Oh, is that his house or your house?
There's some screaming going on.
Oh, it's not yours. Okay. Do you have kids?
Me?
No, no, I don't.
Okay. All right. Well, thank you. Very insightful.
Thank you. Thank you. Bye.
I think that point is great.
I think the cross used to just be smaller, too.
The network was a little bit smaller,
so everybody was closer together.
The same people were involved in every event,
whereas now things are broader reaching.
It's harder to do that.
It's harder to get all the top people or best athletes
in one place with the game staff and things like that. It's a little bit harder to get all the top people or best athletes in one place with the game staff
and things like that.
It just, it's a little bit harder to do.
And even the level of like, you know, there's a lot of that.
Oh, everybody at the games used to be on level one staff,
but not like the games level has changed a little bit.
And I think there's not as many people
who can operate a gym and be on level one staff
and do what it takes to
compete at a high level of the games anymore because the level is just higher.
So that for sure like that changes that dynamic a little bit and it's not because
I don't think it's necessarily because the athletes have no interest in being in
staff or involved with CrossFit or whatever, but it's just that it it's hard
to and it's a lot of these guys are like 22 year old kids.
Like it's just it's a different. It's a different landscape now because of how the sport has progressed and how the level has progressed
So it's just changed a little bit
Interesting coming from you saying that the level has changed and it's harder to do those things when your life is just completely full I
to do those things when your life is just completely full.
I mean, you juggle three balls and then just, and then keep adding balls, moving across the country,
keep having kids, still work your job.
I don't know, you get good at juggling.
You didn't give yourself the memo.
You didn't give yourself the memo, Pat.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, I don't know.
I think everything, anything can, anything can feel
normal. So when you get used to something, you just kind of keep trying to forge ahead.
But I think it's yeah, I mean, it's busy. It's, it's busy. And everybody has a lot of
things going on. And so I think it's just, it's, it's not necessarily everyone's priorities,
because the level it takes, the level of commitment it takes to be an athlete now
at the games at like a top 10 level
is really, really, really high.
And so I think there's less people that are like,
and again, I think one of my points about people
just being younger too, like a lot of the games athletes
now that are really competitive are like in their early 20s
and they may be just like, maybe in five years, they'll own a gym. But right
now they they don't they're not they're not they haven't been
around long enough to even be on seminar stuff. Right, right.
Like if you if you showed up to your level three seminar and
there was like a 19 year old kid teaching you'd be like, hell
you know. Yeah. Um, I had a dalan on and I was like, hey, he was talking about how he I was like, so
who are you going to hang with people at the games? And he said, Yeah, I'll hang with people.
And I said, so do you hang out with like Hopper and Sprague? And he goes, Yeah, and Pat, like,
oh, you made it into the cool boys club. And I know it's kind of hard to break into it
can be hard to break into that. And he said, Yeah, I forced it. And I
go, What do you mean? He goes, I just knew that I wanted to be
I'm paraphrasing, but I wanted to be as good as him. So a
waterpalooza one year, I think it was a lot of blues. I just
forced myself on him to hang out with him everywhere. He went, I
just forced myself. Do you remember and say, I go, so
you're gonna hang with him at the games? He goes, Oh, yeah. Oh,
yeah. Do you remember? Do you remember Dallin working his way into because you know how you guys will
cluster together and to be fair I'm using cool boys club but it's not really
cool boys club it's just heats the heats will hang out together so yeah and Rich
and Matt would be in the same heats you guys would be waiting you know in the
warm-up to get area together so that becomes your cohort but um
did you see dalen do that do you remember him being like you're like hey who's the fuck is this kid uh i remember that year for sure you did i talked to him a bunch in the back and
stuff that was the 2022 water blues i think um and i remember dalen's like my i joke he's like my son
like my joke. He's like my son. He looks like he could be my son. I have to pass that on to him so that I can have a mini me
competing for the next 10 years still. So but I think there's
also like his credit, you know, you don't you don't just walk
into the room and belong like he's super competitive. And,
again, your point is exactly right. Like he was competing in the lane next to me
for like two of those days.
So you're just spending a lot of time
standing next to each other chatting.
And he's focused and driven, right?
Like I think you recognize that in people.
And I think when you're,
especially when you're young in the sport,
like seeking out people that you can see that in
that and try to suck some knowledge off of some people is not a bad thing.
So I think he's put himself in the right rooms and done the right things in the last few
years to get as good as he can be.
And he's he's going to be awesome this year.
I think he's he's looking really, really good.
Yeah.
He made a concerted effort to be close to you because obviously you're as great as you
are at the sport.
And he just he and he made it happen.
I thought I thought it was
fucking smart. Yeah I think that same year too I spent a lot of time with Hopper like he was
living or he was staying in the same hotel as me and we were like ride sharing and those guys are
they're not idiots they seem like it sometimes but they know what they're doing and they're
they're pretty committed so it's gonna be exciting to watch them compete for the next long time. A lot of the athletes
stay at Airbnb's but I see in the past when I think of you I always think of
you as a two hotel room guy that you stay in a hotel room and you usually
have two rooms like one for you and then one for the the wife and kids with an
adjoining door. What's the plan this year?
We're at a hotel. You know what happened this year? Before the games dates got announced, when they announced Fort Worth, we looked in, my wife booked Airbnbs, she booked a couple.
And then the dates for the games were shifted this year by a week.
So we didn't then they announced the dates and we were just like,
hey, it's got to be the same weekend as every year.
And realized it like a couple of months later that the dates were
we had booked the wrong dates for Airbnb.
So we had to cancel our Airbnb and then there wasn't much left at that point.
So we ended up switching to a hotel and got like a, I think we, this year we got a suite that had like
two separate rooms so we can separate from the infant a little bit. And then we have a bunch of
people coming from the island who are coming to watch from my gym that I was at. So they're all
in that same hotel too. So it'll be fun to kind of have a crew. Is it the athlete hotel? It's not. It's not announced the athlete hotel until like really recently.
And so you'll bring your entire family, your wife and your kids.
My oldest son's not coming. He's going back East. My wife's going back East for a wedding and bringing him and dropping him off at home. And then she's going to come back out with a new guy.
Oh, that's cool.
And most people would be like, oh shit, but this has been your life for the last five years, three years.
I've done okay with it.
My wife, she helps out a lot, for sure.
Especially leading up to the games and at the games she's taking care of the baby
so that I don't have to be up in the night as much
and things like that.
And she's doing everything she can.
She's breaking her back to make myself,
make me successful, make the team successful.
So it's been pretty lucky.
But we make it work.
In two minutes when this is over, will you,
what happens, do you just go in your room and lay down
or do you just get up immediately and she hands you a baby?
When, like the game's over?
No, this interview.
Like what, when you get up from here,
will you just like, just insert into the mix?
Probably, well, I got to leave into town probably to,
I made breakfast early before I came in here
and the other kids weren't up yet,
but I watched them walk in
and then things got a bit chaotic there for a bit.
And probably what'll happen is I'll go in,
I'll try to help for a little bit, pack the car.
I gotta go into town to train
and then Michelle's cousins are coming today
to spend the day at the lake.
So I gotta try to get through things as fast as I can so I can come home and help manage
the kids and the chaos a little bit.
But going to the town trade with a friend.
Do you get to do anything?
Do you get to sit in a lawn chair and drink a beer?
No, those days it's too close to the games.
The evenings are kind of nice.
When the kids go down at 8 p.m. or so, we can go watch the sunset and sit down on the dock.
It's a little quieter, but usually our downtime
is now spent thinking about, you know,
we're trying to sort out daycares
and make decisions about our house and things like that.
So usually there's a little bit of work time in the evening,
but then we'll-
Even while you're on vacation at the lake house
Yeah, yeah, damn
Alright Patrick. I'll see you soon, buddy. I really appreciate you coming on. It's all you're always
They're always huge shows when you come on people are crazy stimulated
Everyone everyone loves that you've seen you on podcast. So I really appreciate you always make great time great guests. Thanks, dude
It's my pleasure man. I'll see you in a few weeks. I guess. Yes, sir
Let me go get myself back into this chaos. Okay. Oh, wait, hold on one second. Hold on one second
Caller. Hi, did you want to say something to mr. Villaner?
Hello caller Hey, do you want to say something to patrick?
Yeah, I had a quick question for both of you guys on the day.
Do you feel like you guys have known him for so long
that this interview is kind of a way
to reconnect with the athletes?
Because obviously with the old clubs,
he had deep embedded connections just
from building the foundation of the sport.
And he lost that a little bit with this new generation coming in.
Go ahead, Patrick.
That's what he said in an interview with me for sure. I think there's some of that.
I think you don't want to feel like a stranger in your own house.
That's probably a little bit of what he's doing.
You don't want to feel like a stranger in your own house. That's probably a little bit of what he's doing.
Seven, you have a new dad.
I think he's doing it.
I want to know really why I think he's doing it.
I don't know if I can tell you the real reason.
Damn, where's my Patrick Villeneuve card?
Pat, do you have a mint trading card?
I traded it for a pack of gum or something.
Pat, you have a mint trading card, right?
I used to have it up.
What do the other ones look like? Here's this beautiful one of me.
Hey, here's what I think.
I think that Dave is so frustrated
with the fact that there's not more media around the games
that he's gone way above and beyond
and put himself into a really uncomfortable situation
and started interviewing people to get media out there. I think he's just leading from the
front. I think that's all it is. I don't think there's anything else. I think the byproduct of him actually starting to like
Pat instead of wanting to throw a noose over a tree is a byproduct of all the interviews. I don't think I don't think that
was his intention. That's what's so fascinating to me. I can see him. I know Dave so well. And I can see him starting to like the athletes and process it. And he's even said that a few times, like, holy shit, I used to, he's realizing stuff. But I think that's just a byproduct of him just being like, fuck this, I'm going to do media.
He's a lead from the front kind of guy. Yeah, he's had, yeah, he's had enough. Like, the fact that he started this on a Saturday on a whim means that he just, yeah, he's just, he's just going
above and beyond.
I think it's good too.
I think it allows him to speak more of a human side of the athletes, which is probably not
a bad thing.
Yes.
Yes, I agree.
I totally agree.
Instead of seeing us as just like lambs he can take to slaughter.
Yes.
And that is what happened.
I think that I don't think that that's a gross exaggeration.
Yeah, whether he meant to or not, it's definitely happened, I think that I don't think that that's a gross exaggeration Yeah, whether he meant to or not it's definitely happened I think yeah
All right, call it. Thank you heart groove his heart grew four sizes
Thank you guys caller by you calling Pat. You know Pat had this thought he probably won't share it
But he's like, holy shit. This is like really turning into like a real podcast
It's like a sports show you made Pat like the show even more. I
Do what I can thank I can. Thank you guys. Thank
you. Thanks guys. We'll see you later. Patty V. Get your mint trading card. The Patty V
version. Nice. Good event. Top seller. Top seller. If you can, if you can get your hands
on one, bring them to the game, buy one now at mint trading cards and then bring it to
the games and ask Pat to sign it. Pat is a real dick at the games everyone. He doesn't want to talk to anybody.
Yeah, yeah. Depends. Depends how I do on the event right before.
That's absolutely not true. Pat is the easiest of all the athletes. Very generous at this
time approach Pat. All right. Thanks dude.
All right. I'll see you later, buddy.
Thanks brother. You know, Pat deserves more credit too. He's probably rolling his eyes every time I say Dave's going above and beyond
because Pat always does podcasts. Like he's so easy to schedule.
And he always comes on and he's a huge needle mover.
This is a good card.
Let me see what it says on the back here.
Patrick Villanueva first qualified for the CrossFit Games in 2016
and has qualified every
year since.
In the four years there has been a traditional format.
He has taken second twice and third twice.
Many consider him the fittest man who has yet to win the CrossFit Games.
In addition to being one of the fittest men on earth, he is a doctor of chiropractic,
a husband to a wife michelle and father
to their new son owen 5 11 195 uh coach michelle latondra etc etc yeah cool card 2022 uh edition
oh uh wadzami says will brandstetter designed that card
yeah anyway go you can head over to mint trading cards and the cards
have been kind of like modernized they're starting to look like better and
better let me see if I have a new one I just got some oh like look at here's a
they've really hit the bottom of the barrel doing people like James Sprague
and me and Bill Grundler but
here's it here's an I think this is a newer one a James Sprague if you're just
into hot chicks there's a Christine Colen Brander or or if you're smart
because eventually you know there's gonna be a new Dal and Pepper card and he is gonna win the game so if you're smart, because eventually, you know, there's going to be a new Dal and Pepper card, and he is going to win the game.
So if you're smart, you'll just go buy the Dal and Pepper one.
Like that.
I mean, get, and he looks like an angel in this.
Uh, get this one now, because eventually this one won't be around after he wins the games.
I'm sure there'll be a new one.
And you won't be able to get this one.
After he wins the games, I'm sure there'll be a new one
And you won't be able to get this one
Down pepper the three-time cross-fit game, but you know, it's crazy is anyway, never mind
It's gonna tell you guys how smart I am
There was a question, uh, um, um, uh, how does a seven feel about a DBE Daniel Brandon energy doing almost an hour interview with the TDC?
Well, no, I didn't watch it.
Um, it just came out yesterday, right?
I don't, you know what I do I do on Friday morning before the CrossFit Games Update show?
I usually just go sit on the assault bike.
Although lately I've been a little concerned because of this foot issue I'm having.
It's got to go away before the games happen.
I don't know what it is.
I don't know if it's...
What's it called?
That thing I might have?
But anyway, I usually will just get on the
assault bike and go to Dave's channel and hit play and there'll be no logic, rhyme or
reason to how I watch them. I just let the algorithm feed them to me. So whether it's
Shelby Neal or Daniel Brandon, but if I saw Daniel Brandon's and it was an hour I probably like watch it on 1.5 time.
Foot aids, no. Vagetitis, no, that's not what I have.
Oh, plantar fasciitis, thank you.
Yeah, plantar, plantar fasciitis.
A clock, it's called old age.
I just, I feel, I feel
a tiny, tiny bit bad for Danielle. Like just tiny bit bads not the right word I
don't know what the word is but it's a relative to bad
her Laura anyone who doesn't get anyone who doesn't get to play in the seven podcast universe and you will for
Call me arrogant. I feel a little bad for them
because it's I know it's so fun in here and
And there's like great opportunity in here
Like I was looking yesterday. I was looking and the podcast in the last 365 days has two, a million more views on YouTube and a million more views on podcasts, you know, outlets. So it has two million more views in the last 365 days than it had in the previous 365 days.
days. And it gets as many views certain months that the CrossFit YouTube station gets in a whole year. I just think it's just a sad, it's sad. Like it's such a fun. I play all
day here. Yeah. It's such a cool spot. And so I just feel as part of me feels like whatever
they like you can there's there's room for everyone to like, stake their ground in here.
It's not, just because I'm personally not woke doesn't mean there's not room for woke
people.
Not that Daniel's woke.
I'm not suggesting that at all. I'm just using like some sort of like.
Like if you think black people are less than white people and you want to come project that on here, you can do that, even though that's not my feeling.
You can come over here and state your opinions on that.
Or if you think that like,
like, I don't think Pat and I line I'm like, I can't.
I think Dave's fucking should be knighted for what he's done.
I can't even fucking believe how good he is.
I think he's fucking amazing.
And I disagree with Pat wholeheartedly that about the games being just about the athletes,
like God, man, Dana, Dana White's so awesome for the UFC.
Dave's so awesome for CrossFit in my opinion, but I love, but I'm more than happy to have, I like his,
his, him having that opinion here only adds to the value of
of the whole, to say that opinion out loud and on the show only adds to the whole value of everything that's going on in the space.
Like without tension, there's nothing. Zero.
Greg Seed, you'll take her back anytime she can play if she decides to. Correct.
Maybe she sees there's no value after this has been so long. Yeah, maybe.
Maybe she sees there's no value after this has been so long. Yeah, maybe.
And maybe there's no value for anyone.
I wasn't suggesting there's value, even though I think that there is,
but it's just that it's fun.
It's just a good spot to be.
It's a good group.
You got people like David Weedon here.
When is Dave coming on the show?
I've been asking him.
I've been asking him a lot. He doesn't say no. It's probably just a scheduling thing.
I know, I'm sure that there's so much shit going on at the ranch right now
with testing. And that's like, so that's another thing. There's so much testing
that goes on. So when Pat says he thinks Dave could learn from other events, there
might be some truth to that, but god damn the testing is wild. Seve, are you gonna
get Danny on the show in 2025?
in 2025. You know I go through phases where I really want to have Dani on and then I go through phases where maybe want her on isn't the right word where I
think it'd be really cool if she came on and then I go through phases where
I don't know
Um
I'd love that. You know who i'd like to have i'd like I guess i'd like to have everyone
I'd like to have t on like to have danny on I'd like to have justin on like to have
Mr. Adler on oh, you know who who I'm going to have on, I think.
I got her phone number as a parent.
The Asian girl over at Training Think Tank.
I need to text her today and get her schedule.
I really want to have her on.
I need that.
I would like to have Travis Mayer on.
Who else do I want to have on?
There was some coach I was thinking about the other day
that I'd like to have on? There was some coach I was thinking about the other day that I'd like to have on.
Who was I thinking about having on?
Or was some athlete who didn't make it?
Oh, I'd like to have Colton on.
Colton pops in my head every day.
Can you get Kristy Oramo on? I don't even think
she's ever been on this show. Oh, yeah. I don't know. That's the thing. Laura Horvat.
I don't know now. Yeah, I'd like to have her on. I'd definitely like to have her brother
on, Kristoff. I haven't had Luca on. I need to get Luca Luca on I know it's that's I need to get Luca on he's cool
Pat saying it's about the athletes when Dave does way more for the community than any active athlete. Yeah, that's true. I know in my mind he's a god. He's just killing it. A Tudor Asian coach seemed like a douche in the behind the scenes.
Anyone else think that he was that guy's really intense and I think he
was just feeling very defensive for Tudor I think that's what it was I I I
don't know him what's his name Ed Mao I know he was intense even for me like
even though he was nice to me that I always felt like maybe he could punch me in the face.
He's super intense. He's super duper intense. And I only have that one data point. I can't imagine he's always like that.
But that was a really tense moment and he's like, he clearly loves to tutor to death.
tutor to death. Sevan, try our Uplift Challenge this month program by Brandon Luckett. Where is it? I honestly doubt I can try any challenge. If I told you the
workout I did yesterday,
Uplift is a furniture store? Uplift organization, taking care and compassion. Oh yeah, I don't even know
what this is. Is this your organization? Is it homeless people? I don't know if I can do homeless
people. I really like your shirt. Oh, Mark. Three minutes work, two minute rest, four sets, 30 wall ball shots.
Okay, I'll do thrusters.
20 toes to bar, Max Cal on.
That is actually a great workout.
Okay, I'll do that.
I'll do that.
Three on, two off.
30, I'll say thrusters with 45 pound bar.
Maybe I should use 35 pound bar so I can make sure I do them unbroken.
20 toes to bar.
I like toes to bar.
Max Cal on bikes. 20 toes to bar. I like toes to bar.
Max Cal on bikes.
I don't know if I, I don't even know if I make it to the bike.
The first round I'll probably do the thrusters.
I guess I could push hard, try to do them all. Can I do all those thrusters and
30 thrusters
No, I won't make it to the bike. I definitely make the bike my toes to bars so slow
So slow do it all I'm broken. I don't know if I can do 20 toes to bar. I'm broken. I Slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow named Jenna Hawke. And I've chatted with her a couple times and she's really cool. I really like her actually.
It sucks how much I like her. And I heard when I met her, she said she did, I want to say she did 285 for 10.
Deadlift, someone had said that. And I don't know if I've ever done 285 for 10 in my entire life. So, but I'd like to be able to do that. Like, and she was,
she was sweet when I said something to her. She, you know, in the friendly CrossFit way,
she let me know whatever she did. And that's what I remember. She kind of rubbed it in
my face, but it was funny. It was cool the way she did it. This was at West Coast Classic.
They invited me into the CrossFit box just to shoot the shit with her.
And it's been kind of festering. Like I'd like to be able to tell her I did 286 for 10 at the Games.
So I...
And I probably as a healthy, if I was like a healthy young young man I probably like my weight should be like 150 and I walk around at 170
so I
So the other day I put
235 on I warmed up a little bit
I was sweating and then I put 235 on the bar and I did it for 10 and it was easy
But that's not the embarrassing part. This is crazy
I would shit my spine out if I try it now. I don't know. I maybe I could do it
But there's a there's a crazy problem. Does anyone know what it is? And I told Dave and he goes that is embarrassing
And he goes, that is embarrassing.
Do you guys, does anyone know what it is? When I did the 235 by 10, then I said, but this happened, Dave.
And it was fucking crazy.
I don't ever remember this happening to me anywhere in my CrossFit career ever.
But it, but it happened.
Uh, Chris Kettler said, y'all throw on one of those fake noses and glasses and masks
and rock some long johns and pull 300 for 10 for you.
That's awesome. Please do it.
No, I didn't shit my pants. Great guess.
Great guess. No. It's worse than that.
It's worse than that.
It's so fucking bad. Ready? Does anyone want to guess?
What happens when you do deadlifts? Heavy deadlifts?
Nope, didn't pass out. I felt great.
Nope, I did not ejaculate. I did not pass out, I did not show my pants.
It's so bad. I had no jizzing.
Projectile vomit. Nope, everything was great. I'm telling you. I just did pull
235 like it was my trabajo. A bloody nose. No, that'd have been awesome. Threw your back
out. Nope. Very great question. Not even sore the next day. A hemorrhoid. Nope. These are
great. Great. Farted. Nope. Great. Gave yourself a hemorrhoid. Nope. These are all fantastic
questions. Look at that. Look at Madison.
Look at her. Kids are visiting her in prison. Look at that prison outfit she has on. What'd you do to go to jail?
That's really cool that your kids visit you in jail.
Ripped your shirt off and yelled, nope. Okay, you ready?
My grip started giving out.
Ready?
My grip started giving out.
With 2.35 for 10, my fucking grip started giving out.
And I told Dave, he's like, yeah dude, that is embarrassing.
I couldn't fucking believe it. I've never had my grip give out.
Uh, Kout, you realize you're a woman? Yeah, yes.
Hook grip, you fool. Hey dude, I think I was using hook grip. I use hook grip for fucking everything.
It didn't fall out of my hands. I think I could have done two more, but that was my limiting factor.
Like, I felt like I could have done 20.
No, I don't need- do I have mid 20 No, I don't do I have midget digits I don't know I
Don't think people like shake my hand and they're like, hey, he has a tiny hand
I mean I have small hands, but they're not like
My hands are way smaller than Colton's by the way Colton has big fucking hands. I
hung out with him the other day went out to dinner with them and
My kids and I was watching him hold his fork and I was like the fuck and I'm like put your hand up
And we put our hands up and his hands like that compared to mine. I
Just trim my pinky nail, what are you talking about? I just trimmed him shorter
No, I don't use mixed grip I don't
No, I don't use mixed grip. I don't. Those hands look tiny. Really? Let me hold something.
Maybe I do have tiny hands. Maybe they're so small that no one can tell me they're small.
You know what I mean? Like, if you're like, your shit's so weird that no one's ever told you.
Maybe. I don't know. This is a thick cup.
Maybe I have a small penis and I just
think my penis is big because my hands are small. You could be unraveling my whole identity.
That's racist, Seve. What's wrong with mixed script? I was just told not to mix from a young age.
I was told not to mix.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Pardon me.
Just in the culture that I was, um, across it in the day, you were never
supposed to, you know, you were supposed to.
You were actually, to be honest with you too, Jeffrey, I was told never
to hook her up a deadlift too
But I but I hook up when you put your thumb your go like this, right?
Yeah, I do that
Yeah, that's a concern too. My biceps are pretty sore from it like just right in the in the vag area
in the crackola
in the vag area, in the crackola.
Uh, yes. Philip Kelly, yes. Correct.
Correct, correct, correct. He has the same analysis as I do. I should have asked Pat what he thought about Trudeau. Let me see. DNA. Did we ever
find out what uplift is? Did anyone ever tell me what it is or what the website is? Can
someone put the, I want to see the DNA for addiction. So I'm super excited about this.
This is like basically piggybacking off of the kill Taylor show.
I want to start another series.
And I told you guys about this, this, this, this thing you could get DNA for addiction.
And Sarah sent one out to Taylor and now he's going to take it and send back the test, the
swab.
And then I'm going to have Taylor and Bob on and then Bob is going to read his results.
Oh, suicide awareness.
Okay. Uplift wads are for autism? For suicide.
Okay, so this is going to be cool.
So Taylor's going to be like the pilot episode.
And then I want any athlete to want to do it.
If I think you're cool, I want to have them on.
I wonder if they're If you if I think you're cool, I want to have them on
I wonder I wonder how the end if they're instagram dna for addiction
And then run the run the shows on their um, oh do they have an Instagram account? D-N-A, oh there it is.
Oh look, Flea got a test from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Yeah, so wouldn't it be cool to have Flea on when he gets his test back?
Wouldn't that be dope?
Bam.
I wonder, I should ask Sarah if um, he got his, uh, could I could I have his did Flea get his results? Okay. I haven't seen this yet.
I know yesterday's news is surprising and hard for you to hear, but it was the right
thing to do.
I know it's hard because you poured your heart and soul into me.
Okay, let's just go on old 11 Labs and see if that's really all they probably used for this.
So there we go.
And see we got.
Yeah, looks like they didn't even really try.
Holy shit. Is that true?
Is that fucking true?
Basically, this this post is saying that the Joe Biden saying that he's pulling
out of the race is a fucking AI voice.
White House gets caught using popular AI voice cloning
tool. No shit.
I know yesterday's news is surprising and hard for you to hear, but it was the right
thing to do. I know it's hard because you poured your heart and soul into me. Okay.
Let's just go on old 11 Labs
and see if that's really all they probably used for this.
So upload.
There we go.
And let's see what we got.
98% likely.
Yeah, looks like they didn't even really try.
Probability is very likely that the audio was generated with 11 lab.
Wow.
Biden's dead?
No, he's going to the White House today.
I heard yesterday he's coming to the White House today.
Jake Chapman, it's the internet. Of course it's true. He's coming to the White House today.
Jake Chapman, it's the internet. Of course it's true.
What the fuck is going on?
How do I exit that?
This will not age well, can't flub like he did on that recording.
If this was. Uh, did, uh, did Patty V vote for Trudeau?
I don't know.
Probability 2% very unlikely this audio was generated with...
Oh.
Someone else ran it and it says probability 2% it's very unlikely this audio was generated with 11 labs or the audio was manipulated.
Okay. So here's another post.
Alright, so we don't know. We don't know shit. Jake's facetiousness is true.
Hmm. So we don't know. Yeah, I saw someone said
Cheetal resigned today. That's wild. Cheetal resigns. Let me see if I...
Secret Service Director resigns after Trump assassination attempt one hour ago.
Yeah, I mean they basically said to her yesterday that no one in Congress has faith and they feel all vulnerable.
And you know what sucks?
You know what really sucks?
It probably means we're going to get less information.
Damn.
Damn, damn, damn.
That's all that means. We're going to get less information. It's crazy in that five hours they really let her off the hook yesterday
in the sense that they could have really blasted her for the slope roof thing. Do you remember
how she said they didn't put agents on the slope roof?
And every, a lot of people touched on it, but they didn't blast her for it.
Like some people's one, one guy called her a DEI horror.
Um, uh, by the way, there are some really fucking crazy, uh, I don't know if
they're representatives or Congresswomen, but there are some really fucking crazy, I don't know if they're representatives or congresswomen, but there are some really
fucking crazy congresswomen.
There are some, and there are some crazy men too, but it seemed like the majority of the
women on the left go straight to just screaming, they just yell racism while they hate on white
men.
It's crazy.
Not DEI horror.
I think he called her a DEI horror. Horror.
Like with an H. He said, and Cheetal, you are a complete DEI horror. Horror. I think
that's what he said. Wild. It's crazy how they scream racism. The thing is this the the whole entire hearing the
Republicans were trying to we're trying to talk to her about her job and then 90% of the liberals were just talking about
Restrictions on the AR-15 like they turned it into a completely political event to try to pass more gun laws blaming the guns
And what's weird is when you blame the gun and then the and then and then one lady blame
a black woman from the left blamed a white man for the fall of Donald Trump's Secret Service,
which I thought was a trip.
She basically said the majority of secret services white men as a point to like why they fucked up.
as a point to like why they fucked up.
Damn, why didn't anyone tell me I had a booger in there? No, not whore, not whore, didn't call her D-E-I whore.
Like, let me see if I can find the clip.
Whore with an H-H-O-R-R-O-R.
D-E-I whore, let me see if he,
oh, maybe he didn't use that word
Dei
Cheetal
Videos
Yeah, this lady god there were some fucking psychopaths
Doing some of the questioning. The guy Raskin who's dying of cancer is fucking nuts.
I can't find the guy. I don't I don't see the guy who called it uh...
I think it was uh Jasmine Crockett who blamed white men. What she's doing is, it was obvious that the women who were protecting Trump did not do a good job as the men, if
you wanted to break it down into that category.
And so she was feeling defensive.
So instead of her saying, you're right, the women weren't adequately equipped or did not
appear to do a good job protecting Trump, not as good a job as the men, she immediately
just started attacking white men.
She turned it into a race thing and she turned it into a sex thing.
Like right away, even though no one was like,
hey, the black guys did horrible at the Trump rally.
Like there was nothing like that.
But what's crazy is this,
one of the other guys, McConley, liberal,
and all the liberal men are feminine,
like crazy feminine, like just weak.
Like that's the only job they could have.
You know what I mean? Like in the conservatives, not all them but a lot of look like they could be your high school wrestling coach and
Conley tells goes off about how dangerous the AR 15 is and how it needs to be banned and the example
He gives is that someone attacked him in his office in the Capitol building
But with a baseball bat. So his whole argument falls apart because one of his staffers was
beat with a baseball bat in his office and yet his whole premise
is that you need to outlaw the AR-15.
And you know what else is crazy about that?
When you start doing that stuff and you start categorizing stuff,
you open yourself up to all sorts of crazy categorizations.
And what's crazy is, is that there's all these fucking, um, uh, black politicians who, who, and I point them out as black, uh, liberal politicians who run on the
fact that these guns kill so many people.
And yet those aren't the guns killing their people.
And yet, those aren't the guns killing their people. And that cohort of black males, that 6%, is responsible for 50% of the murders in the United States against other black men.
And so when they start categorizing that stuff like that, I start going like... Aren't you concerned at some point that they're going to use that against you?
Like someone's gonna have the balls to use that against you?
And why don't you make laws against that?
Why don't you find out a way, if you're really concerned,
why are you trying to outlaw the guns that 20-year-old young teenage white psychopaths carry
versus the one that's responsible for 50% of the
deaths in your community. Why aren't you trying to address that problem? It's always fucking mind
boggling to me. And on one hand they're against profiling but they want greater profiling for
gun for purchasing of guns
I wonder what they would say to that I wonder I wonder if they're like, okay We're going to make it so black men can't have guns in the United States and 50% of murders will go away
Why don't they do that?
Because it would be fucking insane to do that and because it wouldn't work
would be fucking insane to do that and because it wouldn't work.
But it's using their logic. It's completely using their logic.
They're racist when it's convenient,
which is like their whole shtick. The racist one is convenient. Those guns are the white man's fault for getting into the hood.
Anyway, it sucked. It sucked that the that the issues were conflated that they turned it into a AR 15. That's all the liberals talked about. That was like 90% of what they talked about.
Shit, I got all wound up. Now I need a gummy. Oh, yeah, of course you can. My wife just yeah. Yes Yes
is
Anybody my power went out at my house again yesterday and my generator went on that's pretty come
You don't know how happy I am about that
I've denied gun sales to white dudes and black dudes both based on the way they look.
Yeah.
God damn, there was a crazy, there was a crazy question from this woman, this fucking Lib
Tard woman asked Kimberly.
She's like, do you give your officers bias training?
And do you know what probably bias training is?
Bias training is probably like, Hey, you can't look at black guys or
Asian guys or young people or old people and, and, and discriminated against them.
I bet you a hundred percent that that's what it is.
But you're telling me that you want to sell a machine gun?
You don't think there should be a second layer of questioning if someone comes in to get
a fucking machine gun that has their hair dyed purple, looks like they do meth and has
long hair and their nails polished but it's a guy?
You don't think there should be a second level
of screening for that?
You don't think, and that's a white guy,
let me do a black guy.
You don't think there should be a screening
of six fucking black dudes come in
and they have their pants pulled down
so you can see their butt hanging out
and all they do is talk in slang?
You don't think there should be like, you don't think there should be any like
some discernment like, yep.
Fuck, man, we are just treating ourselves like complete fucking idiots.
And hey, I don't even know, like to be honest with you,
maybe it's a completely moot conversation
because maybe there's a stat that shows
none of those people are the ones buying the guns either.
Like I don't think the blue haired fucking white guy
who's trying to, who's taking estrogen and growing tits,
who's a fucking serial killer,
is going to the store to buy his guns
I think he's getting his guns from somewhere else. So
So there's that
You think Hitler's stash is a popular correlate to shooter I
Don't know I think you're trying to make a point but I don't get it
All I'm saying is is that you shouldn't be able to rule out discernment. Like it's a fucking gun.
And hey, if you get turned down somewhere, try somewhere else or wait the time and try again later.
I don't think it's... in California, I don't think it's hard to buy a gun.
Then you just go in you take the test and you buy the gun. What is a 4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4 Must be completed a total number of firearms to be transferred.
This is to transfer a gun.
Oh, here are the questions they ask you.
Are you actually a transferee?
Do you intend to sell otherwise or dispose of firearms?
Are you under indictment or information in any court for a felony?
Or for a crime that a judge could imprison you?
Have you ever been convicted in any court?
Are you an unlawful user or addicted to marijuana or any
depressant stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?
Have you ever been adjudicated as mentally defective?
Wow, you can be adjudicated as you can... That's a diagnosis, mentally defective? Wow, you can be adjudicated as you can that's a diagnosis
mentally defective? That's awesome. Or have been committed to a mental
institution? Have you ever been discharged from the Armed Forces? Are you
subject to a court order including military protection order? Have you ever
been convicted in any court of a misdemeanor crime or domestic violence? I don't even know what a misdemeanor is.
Have you ever renounced your United States citizenship? Are you an alien
illegal or unlawfully? Are you an alien who has been admitted to the United
States under non-immigrant visa? Do you intend to sell or dispose?
Seems pretty straightforward.
Yeah, define addict. That's a good question. Like, like, if you drink, if you, if you,
if you have coffee every single day, I would say you're probably an addict.
I just bought a gun online. Oh, I'm purposely not bringing up your post.
Just because.
I mean, nothing against you, but no reason to have your name up.
Kamala, Kamala.
You guys will be happy to know George Clooney has endorsed Kamala, Kamala.
Hey, this guy was on the show.
I don't know if you guys remember this.
This guy Eli Crane.
I think he gave me gave me this you guys
remember when he was on the show he gave me this this is like a bottle opener
bullet
He went and visited the site. This is him on the roof.
Here we go.
Here I'm up here on the building where the supposed sniper took his shot.
Supposedly sniper took his shot.
This is the, Eli ran for office and won it appears and he's also a former Navy SEAL.
I'm on the roof of the building in Butler, Pennsylvania where shots were fired in an
attempt to assassinate President Trump as a former Navy SEAL sniper.
It was clear to me that many security measures were dropped,
making President Trump extremely vulnerable.
Many questions still remain.
It's not that steep at all.
Just had a 70-year-old man back here climb up on the roof easily.
See that water tower behind me?
I do see that water tower behind you.
I do, my friend.
I do see the water tower. Had Secret I do my friend. I do see the water tower.
Had Secret Service or anybody had sniper teams up there.
This guy wouldn't have made it five feet up this roof.
He would have been taken out.
Behind me you see the windows that Secret Service
was supposedly in the second floor of this building behind.
So Secret Service from that window could see the fucking sniper crawling up the backside of that roof?
That doesn't even fucking make sense.
You guys see, he basically, I'm just assuming this, that Eli's standing where the fucking, where the bad guy was, right?
That kid, the tranny kid.
And... uh where the bad guy was right that kid the tranny kid and
behind them where that window is open supposedly there were secret service this is fucking nuts
makes you wonder why they were able to quickly dispatch the individual. Um, and then behind me, back over here where those red roofs are, that's
where the stage was set up.
That's where the president was giving a speech from a lot of people.
There's no tree between.
There's no tree between the sniper and butler.
Um, but we look forward to doing oversight and And uh, Oh, I see that.
See that tree to the left right there?
Just right hanging on the on the side.
I think that tree may have been between the sniper and the dude on the roof, which means
he was on the wrong roof.
It sure never happens.
By the counter sniper.
All right, guys, I'm up here on the building.
See that tree right there?
So that tree, they're claiming that tree was blocking the view from the counter snipers
to the bad guy.
If you assume Eli's standing where the bad guy was.
Where the, uh, was the sniper to be shot.
It's not that steep at all.
Just had a 70 year old man back here climb up.
Crazy.
I don't know whether you agree with him or you are contradicting everything he is saying.
I have no idea what the fuck you're saying.
Are you saying this guy's talking bullshit?
Are you talking to me?
Hold on.
Hey. Let me catch up on these comments.
I feel like there would be some blood or something on the roof to confirm you're in the same
spot.
I don't know why that matters, it doesn't matter, but they hosed off the roof.
But, uh, I don't think this guy fucking Eli was on the show.
He's a f- I- I- he- this is probably as legit as it gets.
Where did the guy on the water tower go? It was a, Chidl said,
Kimberly Chidl said yesterday there was no one on the water tower. That the, I
know people are saying there was, but she's saying there wasn't. Where is, where
he's standing is not where the person was. Go find other videos and you can see
he was further to the left of him from those windows. Oh, you mean, so, so, but the, but the, um, you guys just saw me use my pinky nail to pick out a booger.
But the only, are you saying that's the only relevant page because, um,
because then the, the, the, he would have been blocked by the tree from the counter snipers that we saw on TV.
Is that why you're saying that?
Because if that's the case, then the counter snipers went a really dumb spot.
Yes, I'm talking to the host of the Sevon podcast for fuck's sake.
I don't know.
I still don't understand what you're saying.
If the FBI was holding an investigation like Cheadle said, no one would be allowed near
there.
Really?
For nine days?
I don't know my buddies who are firefighters when they go like to gang scenes where there's just
blood everywhere or car accidents they hose that shit down pretty quick that night. He's talked to
me nasty shit hosing off just so much blood. I know this isn't just your regular run-of-the-mill accident
But nine days seems a long time to leave the blood up there
Fittest auditor they made okay. I don't know what you're talking about. I don't think there was someone on the water tower
Go search it
There's video of someone on the water tower.
No, there's not.
No, there is not.
I would love to be wrong.
I would love to be wrong.
Man on water tower.
You think that's sexist to say it's a man?
No, we all know it's a man!
Conspiracy falsely claims there was a second shooter atop a water tower.
That's CBS News. That doesn't mean shit.
Man rescued from water tower after reported medical issue.
Let's see, I'll type man, water, I'll try to type in
assassination Trump water tower.
Videos.
Man shooters.
Evidence of two shooters confirmed.
Videos of which I've combined highlights of here.
They show.
One, three witness reports of a second shooter at the water tower.
Two.
Okay, so three reports, but I don't even believe that. I think you could find people to say there were people up there and they don't even know
what a water tower is.
They had appointed to like a building.
2.
Video of man on top of the water tower.
Okay, so they're saying video of man on top of water tower, but there's no man there.
I don't see any man there.
3.
Audio evidence showing there were two weapons shooting before the Secret Service sniper
eliminated the alleged lone gunman.
Okay. Four.
Audio.
Signature.
Combined videos of shooting.
I urge you to especially see point three above and go to Chris Martinson's channel on Twitter slash X.
He's trying to say, uh, uh, something important and then all of a sudden he mixes it with like showing like.
Odyssey and rumble.
In all fairness, we don't even know why that woman's ducking back there.
Like maybe that was her job.
Like, I don't know what the fuck the protocol is protocol and take part of the full versions of the videos I'm not defending me back though you should not
have a fat woman guarding the president no that eyewitness reports are some of
the least reliable things you can count on thank you I agree however however
three eyewitnesses give you the same thing. They all point at the grassy knoll or whatever.
You can start to give it a little more credence.
Let's listen in.
I got three things for you to listen to.
First crack of the gunfire and I just screamed, it's the sniper.
It's the sniper and he was firing down toward the water tower.
He was firing down towards the water tower. He was firing down towards the water tower. Firing down
toward the water tower. Firing down from the water tower. No she said towards the
water tower. I think she meant to say but maybe I'm interpreting too much. Listen in.
First crack of the gunfire and I just screamed it's the sniper it's the
sniper and he was firing down toward the water tower. That's what we're hearing. And yeah, and then
Oh, it's that that's a lady talking a fuck I thought that was a man and it was a person holding the camera
I was talking I just figured out it's that chick talking Jesus
She's thought the bullets were gas
right so they're they're here in agreement like from the water tower now why would they say that
there's the water tower.
That's a great shot.
Right there.
Obviously it's in very good position to have a clear view, a clear line of sight to Trump over here.
Trump over where, where's Trump?
How I don't even see where Trump is.
Given how the trees are positioned.
Um, how about this one as well? I'm going to skip forward. Given how the trees are positioned.
How about this one as well?
I'm going to skip forward.
Sharpshooter shot to the left.
He killed the gentleman in the water tower here.
Now, Sharpshooter to the left.
Killed the gentleman in the water tower here.
Very clear.
Very clear what this woman just said.
I called my husband at home who's watching TV. He said, I thought Trump...
Why doesn't someone climb up there?
...heard his ear when he went to the ground. But he said, no, on TV they showed
before Trump hit the ground, the ear was bleeding.
So that sharpshooter went across, Trump turned his head, his ear must've been nipped, and
it killed somebody in the stands over to the left.
I don't know about that either.
Could you see anyone injured besides the blood on the former president?
All I saw was the gentleman from Beaver County who spoke earlier in the day, who was running
from the state house where- Beaver County.
Representative Elmore, I know his name.
He had a white shirt on, and I saw him come from that left stand where the people were mostly shot.
I think there were several. They said three medevacs left here.
We're trying to get them help. This might not be fireworks. This might be something else.
Your camera to see the exact minute, you can tell. But when he got up, he did not look mad at all.
But I heard somebody wanted us to leave immediately because they thought there was still a shooter out there somewhere.
So there could be in these woods around Butler. I feel sad for our country.
I feel sad for the chaotic scene. I get that. However, remember they stood Trump up and walked
him right out of there when they had no way of knowing if there was a second shooter or not.
And again, a little later, I'm going to be presenting to what's a Google Earth, you know,
it's a little, little cartoony. Make any sense of the story we're supposed to believe is that our
side, I mean, the good guys did not have anybody in the water tower. And listen, if you and I formed
a paintball team and I gave you, you know, again, the level of incompetence that we're expected to
participate in. You gotta get down, boy. You gotta get down.
They're gonna shoot you.
Because if they were to have a machine gun,
they could have taken us all out.
So then we laid there for a while.
We saw different places where the gunshots were at.
And then they got President Trump down, Secret Service did,
and they took him out of there and got him off of the stage.
And he was bleeding.
And so then my son and daughter-in-law was back behind us, back behind the fence.
We was worried about them. We couldn't calm.
Okay, okay. Hurry up.
And so we started trying to get back to them then when they finally let us up.
Listen, no one gives a shit about that stuff when you're telling a story to the news.
Like, no one, shut the fuck up and get to the point, please.
They had been right by the fence where the other shooter was.
There was one I heard in the water tower.
There was one by the fence.
One she heard about in the water tower.
She didn't say she saw him.
So we started trying to get back with them then
when they finally let us up.
And they had been right by the fence
where the other shooter was.
There was one I heard in the water tower.
There was one by the fence.
And still obviously initial reports. So one in the water tower. No,. I heard in the water tower. There was one
No one I heard in the water tower, that's a second report shut the fuck up. I'm done with this douche canoe
All right, I don't want to believe there was someone in the water tower and dude the level of incompetence
Amongst just people everywhere around me...
I'd like a sandwich with no cheese.
Okay.
Okay, thank you.
Okay, how much will that be?
545.
Okay, and no cheese, please.
Oh yeah, no problem. We got it.
Sandwich shows up with cheese.
Like, dude, that's your one fucking job.
And that's the, that's the, I see that shit every fucking day.
We're surrounded by an income poops.
How does no one, how does none of the people pointing at the guy on the roof not run screaming toward the rally to get everyone's attention while another person attacks the guy who just points and kind of yells. I was at a Starbucks one time and we were
sitting outside Starbucks in Beverly Hills. Probably should pull it up down by the Ivy
on the corner of on the corner of this really fucking busy intersection. And I was outside
there and I was with Greg and we were sitting outside.
There were only like two tables outside.
And there's a guy sitting at one of the tables with a fucking knife like that's like this
long, one of those Rambo knives.
And he's fucking losing his shit.
He's just coming unhinged.
He's talking to himself.
He's swinging his knife around and Greg and I are just like sitting there staring at him
And we're the tables are pretty far apart 20 feet apart
All of a sudden
Three cop cars pull up simultaneously and drive up on the curb
the cops jump out of their car, guns pulled, and run
right past the guy with the into the store run right past the guy with the
knife.
Now when the cops ran in there with their guns everyone came pouring out of
the Starbucks and ran in all different directions. And I don't know what the cop
said maybe the cop said everyone out.
But I wanted to sit there and Greg kept saying, no, we got to go hide behind the building.
Like everyone's hiding behind the building, but I just wanted to sit there in the front row seat.
I was like the girl with the camera.
So I could relate to that girl with the camera.
You know, the one everyone's suspicious of.
I could totally relate to that.
All right.
I think that's it.
Fun show.
What is today? I wonder if I have any podcasts tonight. Tuesday.
Oh no, Suza has a show at 11. I ain't got nothing. Tomorrow,

Oh hold mitts for each other and they had never done that they had never held mitts for each other oh so to finish that other story I don't know if the
athlete that's supposed to come on tomorrow has confirmed so if he hasn't
