Starting point is 00:00:00 Ladies and gentlemen, we are back! And this time, I have the funniest episode of all time for you guys. I don't know if any podcaster in the world is going to beat the episode that you're about to listen to right now. It is so funny that there was a part during it I almost needed to stop the podcast because I couldn't receive oxygen to my lungs. I was laughing so, so, so, so hard. But not only is there comedy in here, there is some real stuff in here as well. Hunter McIntyre is one of the baddest men on the planet, and he has tons of world championships in the obstacle course racing world. He is a bad motherfucker. But he has his sights zoomed in right now on going to the CrossFit Games,
Starting point is 00:00:46 and he's doing everything he can to make it there, to receive this card called the Wild Card Spot that CrossFit is giving out this year for the first time. And he has a sponsor, FitAid, and they are putting a whole bunch of money into traveling him all over the world to work out with Rich Froning and some of these really big names of people all over the world to work out with Rich Froning and some of these really big names of people all over the place to prove that his fitness is up to par and that he deserves to be there.
Starting point is 00:01:12 So obviously he deserves to be there in the endurance realm. Can he get his skills together and his strength together to impress CrossFit enough to get him to the games? We will see. But as much seriousness as there is in this podcast, is there is equally as much hilarity. And I'm so pumped for you guys to listen to it. But before we get into it, I have to talk to you guys about the sunlight and saunas. Why? Because they're insane. I have a six person one in my garage that takes up precisely 98% of the garage. So the only thing you can do is walk in and go into the sauna. It is absolutely insane. But they do make one
Starting point is 00:01:57 person saunas all the way up to the six person sauna that I decided to have because I wanted to have a sauna party. Who wouldn't want to come to a sauna party? Like, hey guys, I'm going to come over at 7 o'clock. We're going to do a sauna party. And everyone's invited. And yeah, sauna party. I feel like it's so odd and it's so ridiculous that it could be cool. And a lot of people are listening to Joe Rogan these days on the podcast.
Starting point is 00:02:21 And he's always talking about sunlight and saunas and how he has a sauna in his garage. And I feel like because of him, it's a little bit more mainstream. And they might know what I'm talking about. And they might just want to be into that weird thing. It's cool to be weird. I'm weird. You guys all know that I'm weird. Hunter is super weird in this episode.
Starting point is 00:02:37 And I just think weird works. But let's talk about why it's working. So the sunlight saunas are creating the shock protein that is like getting a lot of hype right now in the world of anti-cancer, basically. Because when you put your body under stress, whether you're working out, if you're in a sauna, if you're extreme cold, your body doesn't really know what's going on. It just knows the response that it needs to protect you. So saunas and these infrared ones in particular, instead of getting the really deep, deep heat, you're getting the light from the infrared lights and your body is creating
Starting point is 00:03:18 these shock proteins to basically save you from a scenario that may or may not be happening. So your body doesn't know that there may not be happening. So your body doesn't know that there's something, I mean your body knows that something bad is happening but doesn't know if it's real or not. So when you're in this environment that's creating a, you know, a fake scenario, your body still gives out the same shock proteins to fight against cancer and other things like that. The big thing that's making these things hot right now is a huge study that came out showing that it decreased mortality rate by 40%. So that's pretty insane. Of every way that you can die in this world, you can go ahead and decrease that by almost half just by spending 14 minutes in one
Starting point is 00:04:05 of these saunas. So I'm sold on that. And it's a huge study that they did. It was years and years long and tons and tons of people in there. And there's a bunch of other studies pretty much coming out, um, comparing the infrared saunas to regular saunas and infrared is just crushing everybody. And it's just, it's a thing now, like you can go and spend, I don't know, 40 or 50 bucks for like one session to go in these saunas or spend a hundred dollars a month to go on one. Or you can buy one off of us right now on the Shrug Collective. You get $200 off of it. You get free shipping and yeah, it's a huge sauna. So when you get free shipping, that's a big sauna so when you get free shipping that's a big deal and they're really not that expensive i want to say that the two-person one is like 1500 bucks maybe it's not
Starting point is 00:04:54 it's not a big deal uh and they look dope like really really cool like in your house it would be really cool to have um and then i mean the one that i have is just too big it has to go in the garage but they have outdoor ones also that you can put outside, so if you have a cool backyard, you can put it out there as well. So yeah, I really think you guys should check this thing out. You guys can check out me and my Instagram. I'm always posting me inside the sauna.
Starting point is 00:05:16 It's pretty cool. So yeah, if you go to sunlighton.com, it's S-U-N-L-I-G-H-T-E-N.com, and then you just type in Shrugged Collective for your $200 off and your free shipping. So S-H-R-U-G-G-E-D-C-O-L-L-E-C-T-I-V-E. Shrugged Collective. If you don't know how to spell that, that's weird because you follow us on iTunes right now. Anyway, let's get into this show.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Hopefully you're inside your sauna listening to the show and get ready to pee your pants and learn all the things and hang out with me and hunter and just have a great little hour and a half of your day you are welcome make sure you share this episode with everybody because it's freaking awesome thank you allalk Nation. I am so pumped right now because I am on the podcast with Mr. Hunter McIntyre. You guys have wanted to hear from this man for a really long time. And you guys know him as an OCR champion. You also know him as probably the most ridiculous person you follow on Instagram. Damn right.
Starting point is 00:06:27 And his filter is non-existent. Doesn't need to be there. I was thinking there's three places we could start this podcast. One could be your death poop. Two could be Rich's nuts. And three could be the fitness we did today.
Starting point is 00:06:44 I'm going to leave it up to you. Well, hold on, because my listeners definitely follow you on Instagram because a lot of them have commented when we're together, and they're like, you have to get him on your podcast. So there is a good amount of people who do know who you are, but there's also a lot of people who don't know who you are. So you're avoiding the death poop. No, we can get to that.
Starting point is 00:07:03 But what I'd like to do right now is just do a very quick, like five minute introduction to who Hunter McIntyre is. Okay. Which is the only serious part of the podcast potentially. Okay. I'll try to actually do this. I have to get better at like being a little bit more professional. I'm actually getting ragged on that by the guy who's been helping manage some of the stuff I do. Sorry, Augie. All right. So check this out. Anybody who who's listening super glad that you guys are here um in reality my circumstance is this I've been racing professionally in obstacle course racing since 2012 obstacle course racing if you haven't heard of it is like a Spartan race tough mutter like American Ninja Warrior would fall into the category but that's like a much shorter version of it um my whole career kind of started where I was like a bad boy, troublesome
Starting point is 00:07:47 lunatic, where I kind of had a lot of athletic potential in high school, ended up having to go to rehab after getting arrested a ton of times, not meant to be a sob story, but just telling you guys where the trajectory came from. And then I went to college after getting out of rehab and I like tried to be an athlete there and it was just like not a sustainable area like you know it's hard for me to stand next to people who are getting shit-faced and it's hard and also trying to train hard like I can't do both at the same time so I partied for a couple years did like a lot of like modeling and fitness stuff and I was just kind of like trying to like catch my groove like it's so weird when you like I think it's really hard for people to go into college like right after getting out of high school and decide what they want to do for the rest of their
Starting point is 00:08:27 life so i went on like a walkabout like that's what the australians call it like i just got slammed i traveled internationally i chased girls i did whatever it was necessary at that age so then all of a sudden i came out here to california i was living in new york city on my brother's couch like couldn't figure it out came out here to californ California with some bros and all of a sudden discovered the obstacle course racing scene, which was on the trajectory of what CrossFit was, but about five years later. And I quickly climbed the ladder. First year in the sport, I was third in the world at the world championships. So were you just naturally that good of a runner?
Starting point is 00:09:02 Yeah, I was a really good runner. In high school, I was running in the 15s and 16s on like hilly courses. So you ran track in high school? Yeah, track and cross country. Okay. But it was like more of like my dad was like either you get a job or you get into a sport. So I was like cross country, whatever. And I always had so much endless energy.
Starting point is 00:09:21 Like I was always a kid who was up before the sun rose and I would literally travel like two townships over basically on foot, skateboard, bike, whatever it was at the time or whatever day it was. And I was just nonstop. So I had this like constant energy. I'm sure you, when you hang out with me, you realize I just don't ever shut up. I don't ever stop moving. Um, it can be annoying to some people. So now we're seven years into doing this professionally. Um, and amongst that time, you know, a bunch of good world titles, a bunch of championship wins. It was great. Amongst that I, you know, was undefeated on the show, broken skull ranch, did a lot of shows like in Spartan race. Now I'm on this show called million dollar mile, which is LeBron James' new show.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Like I got a lot of really cool opportunities because I just was dynamic and a really beast athlete and all really cool stuff. But now like, you know, the way you and I got introduced is like I'm really trying to chase into the CrossFit scene. I've always done CrossFit, but not the way you guys do CrossFit. Like I've always loved CrossFit because it's, it's such a good thing to like kind of build out your base of strength and conditioning because it's not like so basic of like squats, deadlift, like, you know, bench press, which is like what a lot of the world knows is in the bro scene. Um, learning how to do like chest to bar pull-ups, kettlebell swings and rowing taught me in OCR how to really be seamless in my transitions, which was really beneficial. Like I would pick up a, like a really heavy carry and I would just blast it super
Starting point is 00:10:50 hard. And then I would be able to get right back into my run because my body had been trained in those modalities of CrossFit where you need to be effective. Like you can't be a good rower and suck at pull-ups. You can't be a good guy on the bar, barbell and then suck it like, you know, the gymnastics or the rowing. So you have to combine all three together and practice your pacing so then all of a sudden i was like you know what like i really want to get into this crossfit scene so now i'm kind of delving into what you guys are doing so uh hopefully that was a good introduction to what hunter mcintyre does yeah that is really good i mean it's no big deal i just don't think i think a lot of people forget like when they see you because you're so animated and you have such an interesting presence about yourself that they probably forget that this guy is a fucking world champion and he's fucking legit.
Starting point is 00:11:32 Six-time world champion motherfucker. Yeah, that's badass though. You know what I mean? I had a great career too, but I can't say I was a world champion in anything. But yeah, that's just super cool. So it's always good to hit that before we get into the most ridiculous parts you know it's interesting just to tell people like where we are in ocr right now like i'm just gonna make sure you guys know this it's very similar to where crossfit was you
Starting point is 00:11:55 know a handful of years ago like imagine what dubai fitness games first came around and like the i was there at the first one yeah and so. Yeah. So you understand where we are right now. There's so many spread out events, and each one's popping up, and some are growing, some are kind of falling back, things like that. So it's very interesting in OCR. Is the prize money getting bigger? Oh, yeah. It's great. And why wouldn't you want to stay with that?
Starting point is 00:12:19 Well, for me, man. If the prize money is getting bigger. Honestly, it's not about the money. I'm always going to make money because I'm not an idiot. I'm somebody who's very driven towards success. If I was a logger, I'd want to cut down the most trees in the forest. If I was a carpenter, I'd want to build the most houses. If I was an athlete, I'd want to win the most races.
Starting point is 00:12:38 For me, I want to achieve something that I know that I'm capable of. Right now, what would be the difference if I race for the next five years and won five to 10 more world titles? Would it change my life at all? No, because right now I have enough titles that, uh, were fantastic and I have enough money in my bank account. Nothing's really getting any better. Nothing's changing. Like I own a truck, I own a little sports car. Like, you know, done cool things, and I have things, but at the same time, when I wake up in the morning, it's always the same. As I told you, dude, I'm on top of a mountain right now. Do you know how many times I've run from the top of this mountain down to the beach and back?
Starting point is 00:13:15 Hundreds. Hundreds of times. Yeah. But how many times have I done a power snatch over 225? Less than 20. So you like the variety. Yeah, I like the variety because i think it's the one thing i always run into people and they're always like i don't understand how you do
Starting point is 00:13:29 it i'm like i i do it because i wake up every single day with passion and as soon as i run out of passion for something i go find something else i'm going to be passionate about because it's like as soon as that fire starts to dim either throw another log on and create some more purpose or go fucking pick your shit up, go to a new campsite and build a new setup. Because in reality, like life is too short to be sitting in something that you are mediocrely happy about. And that's where I was with OCR. Like, I just recognize that I've done something, I've accomplished it, I'm happy with it, but there's new opportunities and I only have a limited amount of time left. I was just listening
Starting point is 00:14:04 on the way up here because we're in Malibu, California. I live in Orange County. It's a solid two-hour drive to get here. Solid two hours. There's so much traffic. If it's in traffic, it's like three hours. But on the ride over here, I listened to Tony Robbins, and he was on his podcast with Michael Phelps.
Starting point is 00:14:27 Yeah. And Michael Phelps was basically saying, you know, I had won all these gold medals, and I just, like, felt nothing, like, after a while. He was like, I just wanted to do something else. Like, he just, like, completely fell off. Like, he went to a world championship and got second and was like really sad he didn't even train for it and then like a bunch of series of events in his life happened where he had gotten motivated again and there's actually something to do with his dad because he didn't really like he had never really talked to his father it's like that was part of it but he
Starting point is 00:15:01 was talking about how he would even just be depressed like after the olympics after winning all these golds and sean white the olympic snowboarder which everybody knows i'm sure he was there too on set with him and tony robbins and he was saying like after every olympics whether i won or lost i was depressed as well yeah so like a lot of these guys who are really really good at what they do it's super common for them to be like depressed or like you know just like because they've already hit the top it's like really really hard for them to be excited about something else like sean white talks about how by the time he gets to the end of the season he hates snowboarding more than anything in the world he doesn't even want to do it he doesn't want to look at his board he doesn't care about snow nothing all he can think
Starting point is 00:15:44 about is skateboarding. And then he starts skateboarding, and by the time he's like, the season's over with skateboarding, he's like, oh, I hate skateboarding, and he wants to go back to snow. And that's what I've done with CrossFit for so many years. I've always used the Open as something like, train for the Open, have some fun with it, learn some new moves, and then go back
Starting point is 00:16:00 to OCR. I hate CrossFit when the Open as soon as the Open's over, I'm like, ugh. Dude, I can tell you right now, I can tell you, like, as committed I am to the plans I have ahead of me, I freaking hate the gym right now. Like, how many times can you squat in a week, do handstand push-ups,
Starting point is 00:16:16 chest-to-bar pull-ups, things like that? Like, I'm a very outdoorsy person. I like waking up, rock-climbing, biking, like, you know, hiking, running, running swimming paddleboarding whatever like if you're somebody who's committed to what we're doing right now especially somebody like a swimmer like my ex-girlfriend she was a total beast man she she lived looking at the lines of a bottom of pool for like 15 years of her life and i was like it's got to be in terrifying
Starting point is 00:16:43 feeling to know that you're going to wake up in the morning the next day and do three hours in the pool and then like two to three hours at nighttime. And it's the same thing in this existence. So I don't know. Like about the depression thing though, like I don't necessarily ever feel depression, but I almost feel like a storm that like comes and like it comes with so much force. And then like once you wreck everything in front of you, like I'm almost looking for the next thing to go to. And it's just like I just like skipped right over all the land and I'm back out to sea and I'm by myself again.
Starting point is 00:17:13 Because that's the reality of the intensity you have to have to be the best in the world at something. It's very, very selfish. It's very, very lonely. It's very, very limiting. Because not many people are ever going to understand the amount of intensity, the amount of drive, the amount of focus. Like I always have trouble dating girls because like I'll be sitting at the table with them
Starting point is 00:17:30 and they're trying to have a conversation with me and like everything that they're saying to me is flying right over my head because I just am thinking about how many calories are in this meal or how many, like I have to get ready tomorrow. Like that event that I have coming up, even sexually, it gets difficult. It's a crazy thing. I look forward to the day where I retire because that's probably going to be my saddest day but also my happiest day
Starting point is 00:17:55 because it's going to allow... There's shackles that exist in this lifestyle. I'm there right now. Mine's a little bit different. I didn't i didn't want to retire i had to because my knees are fucked up but yeah i'm envious of you though dude like sometimes when i look at your what you're doing and i hit you up and stuff dude like going to the beach and just swinging kettlebells and stuff and like riding your bike leisurely
Starting point is 00:18:18 like maybe you may not notice this but that's a very exciting feeling like waking up and having the freedom to decide what you do that day not like like I'm in prison over here, but at the same time, like, there's a formula, and if you don't follow it, you're not going to get the results. And for any sport or any objective you have in life, if you're, like, a salesman or something like that, like, you need to play the book. And if you don't, like, in your lackadaisical with what you do with your time, you're going to be a basic bitch. Yeah, I was a little bit lucky with the way kind of – because I didn't win the games or anything like that. I wasn't that huge face, but I did other things that attached people to my name
Starting point is 00:18:58 and they wanted to follow me or join my gym or whatever it was. But I definitely would never – even as fucked up as I am. And it's not from CrossFit for those of you who are listening. Like I actually, my knee is actually really fucked up from a snowboard accident in Jackson hole in Wyoming that I did, um, in 2009. And then ever since then, like I had gotten it repaired and it was fine. And then I just tried to come back really, really fast. And then I put 10 years of CrossFit on it. And I don't know. I'm assuming a whole bunch of different things kind of went on.
Starting point is 00:19:30 I also found out like through my recovery process that one leg is an inch shorter than the other. And come to find out my longer leg is the one I'm having problems with. It probably takes the majority of all the weight. Did you get some like – I always love seeing like those old people who have a special wedge in their foot that's like makes so i tried that that's actually what ruined me so a lot of people out there who don't know like i was on the olympic team 2010 for bobsled and that was what i used to train for and i totally understand that going out with girls and all that and like i remember just being like a fucking machine I just like woke up I trained I ate I went to school and I just went to bed for like five years like I I can tell you right now like
Starting point is 00:20:10 during that five years I didn't do anything fun like ever like I can tell you right now I I enjoyed what I did but like I didn't like I went snowboarding like three times and one of them tore my ACL. And the rest of it was just like – You got to mitigate risk. Yeah, pushing sleds and eating right and going to bed at the same time and saying no to my friends to drink and like doing everything that I needed to do to get to that spot. And it's also why I freaked out on that judge in 2012 or 13 or whatever it was because like that guy doesn't understand that my entire life of was that like it's just like oh like oh it's just like such an insane moment i've had that a couple times like in 2016 i remember telling a judge at uh one of the spartan race championships to go fuck themselves and he ended up being wrong about the rule and then at the next one at world
Starting point is 00:21:01 championships they changed the rule about how to hit the bells, which shows a completion of an obstacle, the day before the championship. And I didn't go to rules and regulations because I was like, I've been racing for five years. I'm like, what are you going to fucking tell me? And I kicked the bell that day, which we've always been able to do, going through this thing called ape hanger. And I just kept on running. You know, one of the refs was like, you got to do burpees. And I was like, fuck you, and just kept on running you know one of the refs was like you got to do burpees and I was like fuck you and just kept on running and then one like the guy uh Mike Morris who's the actual like he runs the race he's the race director followed me on ATV like half mile away
Starting point is 00:21:37 got me grabbed me pulled me back and made me do like you know so I had to come come back and forth because I just and I fucking cussed out all these people because i thought they were idiots and then i once i finished the race i cussed everybody out because i'm like who makes that stupid fucking decision to the day before a world championship to change rules but um i understood where you're coming from yeah well i was gonna say you know living up on top of this mountain has probably been my biggest uh like it's been the biggest lead to my success i I've been very fortunate to have the opportunity to stay up here, but it's so far away and so removed from everybody.
Starting point is 00:22:10 It's hard for me to like, if you texted me right now and you're down in Santa Monica and you're like, I've got like 50 like Victoria's secret models here that saw you on television that want to like beat you up naked. Um, I would be so turned on by that idea, but it'd be challenging for me to get my dancing boots on and go down the hill. Like, I made this lifestyle where I live up on top of a mountain like a monk,
Starting point is 00:22:34 and I work out all day long, and I only go down for food. It's fucking badass. I think it's dope. Like, when I first came up here, I was like, wow, this place is insane. And, like, even now, I'm like, dude, I would i would fucking just like i feel like i would just give up everything i have and just come up here and just chill dude come be a monk with me dude for those of you who aren't
Starting point is 00:22:52 you can't see what we're looking at i mean you can actually on my instagram every once in a while you could see it and maybe on hunters as well it's just the view is just absolutely insane i think this place is uh 30 million dollars who knows something Who knows? I mean, I, I just, I stand out there on that and that, and I perched, uh, right up here and I just stare down at the common folk and then I go back to my workouts and my steak meals. It's awesome, dude. Um, so back off to my tangent was, uh, no matter how fucked up I am and everything, I would never take back anything that i ever did i just i i loved my time that i was training i loved all my crossfit experiences
Starting point is 00:23:30 i loved competing and the hype of all of it and yeah it's really really cool and i like the style of crossfit i do like how random it is and all the muscle-ups and the snatches and the squats and this and that and i loved training and it's uh you get a bunch of of the right dudes together yeah and it's fucking the best thing ever if you get the right crew you know what i mean or if you have the right coach or if you have the right scenery like where we're at right now this is great too it's always my favorite i don't have a lot of high-end athletes i train with but i do have like just like random bros who come up here and they're always super stoked to watch me do stupid stuff, like trying to put up way too much weight for my body to handle.
Starting point is 00:24:10 And that's always been my biggest motivator is just like the team that I have. Nobody's a superstar, but we all like are kind of on the same mission to getting this thing done. And everyone's probably has something they're really good at. Dude, Big Jake is a fucking beast at bench. He's six foot five, super good at deadlifting, Big Jake is a fucking beast at bench. He's 6'5". Super good at deadlifting and like crazy on the rower.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Little Nate, Nasty Nate, such a monster when it comes to squatting. Also can do 46 strict pull-ups. He's one of those kind of guys. I have a couple guys in the bank who are like my running partners. I got the Coach Rich. Like everybody's got something.
Starting point is 00:24:46 Yeah, Rich is insane. If you guys follow my YouTube channel, he was the one video that I put up that hit like 300,000 views. If you guys check my Instagram, he's got a really good picture up right now. Oh, yeah. He did put up one. It's hysterical. Anyway, cool. So basically the reason that I'm up here today was not just for the podcast,
Starting point is 00:25:06 but we were starting like a documentary campaign basically because Hunter is trying to get himself to become the wild card for the CrossFit Games. If you think about this, I was just thinking about this the other day. Think about the idea of wild card. Like it's got to be someone who's actually wild. Like you don't want to take some basic-ass bitch who was like, what's a lame sport? Swimming. Okay.
Starting point is 00:25:31 I'm just kidding. Let's just pick anybody, but let's say a track and field athlete. An equestrian. An equestrian. Dude. An equestrian who does part-time swimming. Yeah. Equestrian who does part-time swimming. Yeah, so, you know, I assume that unless it was like a rodeo bull rider at an equestrian show, that person's probably boring
Starting point is 00:25:53 and probably has like a couple athletic attributes that are going to be somewhat successful in some athletic endeavors at the CrossFit Games, but most of the time they're probably going to die. I, on the other hand, am going to bring some heat. Not only am I going to dress just like Conor McGregor, but I also plan on showing up with a panther and at least a half dozen cobras in my backpack. And diamonds. And covered in diamonds. Honestly, let's take this to a little bit of a serious note and then we can keep on joking around. The wild card is something I'm obsessed with. I never wanted to be like a diehard CrossFit Games athlete.
Starting point is 00:26:28 Like I think what they do is freaking awesome. And I've always talked about wanting to go to the games. But then when they introduced this, I was like, this is the perfect opportunity for me to be able to continue to pursue what I'm doing. But then they'd be able to step out for a year and just go do something new and just like reinvigorate the training that I have.
Starting point is 00:26:46 CrossFit's awesome, dude. It's the coolest sporting event on earth. There's so many cool things going on. Lots of endurance events that I love doing. Lots of just crazy hardcore burners, which I love doing. Olympic lifting is like golf to me. I fucking hate it. It's one of those kind of things where it takes thousands of strokes, thousands of lifts. The likelihood that you're going to be a freaking beast off the start is one in a million, but if you have that, congratulations. I've been spending so much time doing it and smashing my pubic bone.
Starting point is 00:27:19 I am sick and tired of it. But in reality, nothing would make me happier than getting out there and just burning people to the ground in a handful of workouts. And just sitting at the surface like in that whitewash, that hardcore shit, lasting through the hard workouts and seeing where I stack up against these guys. Because if you play the game of math, which I've done over and over and over again in my head, there's some pretty cool opportunities that I have to do well at this thing. No, and at the end of today's training session, Hunter and I worked out, we did a bunch of stuff together, and they asked my honest opinion on how I thought he would do with the games, and I just said, as long as there's not a ton of one rep max lifting, or a ton of super
Starting point is 00:28:02 heavy squat cleans, or something like that that but your squat endurance has gone up I lifted with Hunter like six months ago and I have a really good like like gauge of how much better he's gotten in the last six months and I always like to say the same thing for anybody who's a new crossfitter is like what should I be doing like right now it's like it's like all right check this out like you're new and it's not going to matter like what you do for the first year or two you're just like on this insane bell curve of just like just so much progress to be made so like even from from what we're sitting right now to the crossfit games is four months the hunter that i saw six months ago and now is a totally different person and the hunter that we'll see in four months from now will be a totally different person. Damn right.
Starting point is 00:28:47 And I think that – And I'll have a mullet. Yeah. And just with your experience and stuff like that, I think that you have the ability to produce results in competition that you can't really fathom right now. I wouldn't say that about a lot of people, but I would say that I'm sure that will be true for you. And I'm sure that the extra four months will be enough. And I think that if you do get to the stage, and someone is listening to this podcast right now that has the ability to make that wild card happen a little bit,
Starting point is 00:29:13 I don't think you guys will be let down at all. I think that if there's 40 people, I would say that there's no way that you would finish worse than 20th. That would be my call. And I think that if you did get 20th at the worst, you would destroy worse than 20th yeah that would be my call and i think that if you did get 20th at the worst you would destroy people in like three events that's the goal yeah and i think that would be really rad so like it wouldn't be a wild card it would be a well-deserved card thank you dude you want to hear a funny story that's what i said in your in your thing oh dude
Starting point is 00:29:40 that's meg that's mega nice i couldn't tell if you're just trying to butter my biscuit right now because you got me a little half choked. So get this. I've been trying to get a hold of Greg Glassman or Dave Castro. They basically murdered half of the CrossFit team when they changed things up. I don't even know what they're doing
Starting point is 00:29:58 anymore. Nobody fucking does. That's the crazy part about it. I've literally been asking everybody. The Instagram is so strange right now. Have you seen it? Yeah, it is. They just posted recently. It's like Rich Diaz doing squats. Dude, they want to promote fitness.
Starting point is 00:30:12 But dude, you get this. My mom calls me one day. She's like, how do you sound frustrated? I was like, this is bullshit. I've been trying to get a hold of these people at CrossFit, and I just can't. I need to get an answer at least to understand what the heck is going on because I'm working my ass off right now and like i'm on this journey to make this thing happen like i'm gonna go get her mom i'm not just gonna sit here and let it happen i'm gonna go get it and she's like who do you try to get a hold of and i was like this guy greg glassman
Starting point is 00:30:36 and she's like well honey i used to be an executive recruiter let me try and i was like come on like don't don't bother literally a couple hours, her friend, who's another executive recruiter, got his number, called him. And then he goes down a crazy rabbit hole. I hope this doesn't get back to him and makes him feel bad. But he called her back like 15 times. And then called back her office, the line that she called on, and called the people there. And like, I think someone was trying to get a hold of me here.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Finally, she gets on the phone with him. She's like, oh, I was trying to contact another Greg Glassman at an IT company. And then she calls him. And they had a totally great conversation. She said he was the kindest man. And this is a guy who runs a multibillion-dollar company. And they talked and just BS. They had the kindest man. And this is a guy who runs a multi-billion dollar company. And like, you know, they talked and just BS. They had the kindest conversation. And then she was like, hey, well, you know, just to let you know, my friend's son likes to run Spartan races and he wants to
Starting point is 00:31:34 run in the CrossFit games. And like completely butchered the introduction of who I am to this guy, which I think is so funny. But like the seed has been planted by many people in front of the right people about this thing happening. So just to give you guys an idea of what's happening right now, I just filmed episode one with Ryan and my running coach to kind of create a base-level understanding of what it's like to start this journey from right now, four months ahead of the games, to get to the CrossFit Games. And Ryan taught us from the perspective of like an elite level CrossFitter,
Starting point is 00:32:09 like we needed to tackle certain workouts, do certain lifts, and get to understand like where we need to do the work. My coach, who does endurance, he did all this VO2 max testing. He's like, he told me exactly where I need to push my limits to be so fit when I get there that I can burn people to the ground. And now I'm going to go on this journey where I'm going out to Kansas in a couple weeks to go work out with Heppner and a couple other CrossFit Games athletes where we're going to do like a mini CrossFit Games and beat each other to death which will be awesome. Then I'm going to go down to Mayhem and work out with Henshaw and those guys. Then I'm going to go and I think I got to be kind of top secret about the other couple episodes but
Starting point is 00:32:46 we're basically gonna be going down the line and working with all the best people in CrossFit to kind of build on this epic journey of what it would be like to make it from scratch to the CrossFit Games I do have experience in being an athlete but this is by far like I'm less than a year into like actually focusing on this thing. It's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. And you've made huge strides. So.
Starting point is 00:33:08 Yeah. I mean, I'll admit like, you know, I'm lucky enough that I have a lot of athletic advantage and I have like that kind of mindset that we were talking about earlier. But let me tell you, like if there's 20 core movements to this, this whole thing, I'm giving myself like you have to divide that up and give 5% to everything. So the first couple months, I focused exclusively on Olympic lifting. And I went from, like, basically being able to, like, power snatch, like, 65 pounds for, like, five reps to the point now where I almost got 185 for three with Touch and Go, which is, like, to me, very impressive. I remember watching a video of Vukowski last year doing Touch and Go snatches 185 really smoothly.
Starting point is 00:33:50 And I was like, that looks like me trying to lift up the Great Wall of China. That's an unfathomable idea. And now I'm finally starting to get there, which is cool. In less than a year. Yeah. Which is cool. Will I have to have surgery? Likely.
Starting point is 00:34:04 On every joint in my body and my penis. Does anything hurt right now? Really? No, nothing really hurts. I think you have to just get used to the difference in pain. I remember I used to have to always, I would shave my legs and I would have to put tens of units on my legs and massage my legs all the time because of all the running I did. Now, I would say most...
Starting point is 00:34:23 But they were just sore. They were sore. Yeah. Now I would say the amount of pain that goes into my shoulders from probably improper technique with the volume that I'm trying to tackle is the only thing that I'm trying to get better at. And I threw out my middle back of all things, like underneath my scapula,
Starting point is 00:34:40 doing touch and go snatches like a fucking idiot. That was the only thing that bothered me when I was competing was just the excessive amount of overhead. It's so stupid. A very excessive amount of overhead. My shoulders used to be like, dude, I cannot do this anymore. There's a huge difference,
Starting point is 00:34:57 and I understand why Greg is trying to separate from the CrossFit Games a little bit. There's a huge difference in fitness for life and fitness for the CrossFit Games. I think. There's a huge difference in fitness for life and fitness for the CrossFit Games. And I think people are starting to cross those lines and that's why it might be giving a little bit of bad marketing towards the brand as a whole. I think they could orchestrate the games
Starting point is 00:35:14 in such a smarter format too, though. You know what I mean? It doesn't have to be a mystery. It could be like, you know, this year, this is what we're going to be doing and it's, you know, not out of control. Like, instead of like a 10-mile trail run or whatever, year this is what we're going to be doing and it's you know not out of control like it's you know instead of like a you know 10 mile trail run or whatever it could be like a mile or a two mile
Starting point is 00:35:30 run on the track honestly that people can actually like understand you know like if they see you do a two mile run on the track they know what that's like they can go and do it you know what i mean that's like one of the things that i got really bummed about with the games was everything in the beginning was relatable like they would do fran you know what i mean like in the dirt with burpees or chest a bar or something like that but you still knew what your fran time was and you could watch that and be like oh man that was gnarly but now it's like you can't set up fucking but But that's the hype of sport, man. No, for sure. 100%. 100%.
Starting point is 00:36:06 Think about motocross. Would you give a flying fuck about motocross if they did the same stupid things you and I could do on a motorcycle? No. Exactly. I want to see these dudes do triple backflips and have spinal surgery. And I don't want anybody to really get hurt, but that's the reality of the situation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was just working with a PT a couple days ago, and this dude was telling me he got hired to work on Nitro Circus,
Starting point is 00:36:27 and he said that this guy who was the first person to ever land a double backflip, he had landed on his handlebars in his stomach, and it ripped open his abdomen. So, like, any time he tried to do anything, like, he wasn't able to have surgery because the time was so limited. Like, he just, like, kind of, like, ghetto patched it up and, like, would still do stuff. And he, like, he was like, hey, man, like, I'm about to go do this big flip, like, for everybody. Like, I need you to kind of, like, help me. Every single time he would move or try to do a crunch, like, his guts would pour out of his stomach.
Starting point is 00:36:56 Not, like, badly, but, like, it would bulge out. Yeah. So they had to take a tennis ball and shove it in there and then tape around it. And that was the only way to cover up the hole wow but that's the reality of like sport now like yeah it's like in basketball like remember when like larry bird used to be a legend if larry bird tried to play basketball right now he'd get murdered because he can't jump seven feet but here's the argument though here's the argument those are extreme sports and this is extreme sport it's not really though it wasn't
Starting point is 00:37:24 meant to be that, but like they really wanted it to be an Olympic sport. You know what I mean? And you can't make a 3,200 meter race or a 1,600 meter race any different than what it already is. It's, it's history and it's, you can't make a shot put any sexier than it already is. You know what I mean? Like, I think it would be cool if Crossfit had not the same events every year i still like the variety of it but i do think it's cool to have things that you know i mean you're still not going to have a hunter mcintyre come out and run a 440 mile or 420 mile or whatever and still deadlift 500 pounds there's not going to be a lot of people doing that yeah you know what i mean it's still gonna you're still gonna watch that
Starting point is 00:38:02 and be like fuck my face that is gnarly but as they start getting into these more ridiculous things what it's doing is it's hurting the sport because everyone is like oh I want to do that so now everyone's doing everything and no one's worrying about overdoing their shoulders or overdoing their legs and everyone's getting injured
Starting point is 00:38:21 you know what I can't stand is all this handstand walk bullshit it's a's a little dumb like you're gonna walk around this pole thingy and then you're gonna get up on this ramp and be a bad boy like shut the fuck up like this is the dumbest thing i've ever seen could you guys just get back to smashing barbells into your hips and jumping up on boxes because i want to see some real shit. Yeah, for sure. I think they just got to get away from that stuff. I do like the randomness of it all
Starting point is 00:38:50 because I'll admit like... It can be programmed better though. I don't know. You know what I mean? It doesn't have to be a bloodbath. If we say that on this microphone right now, it's going to probably piss off one person who probably may be involved with me getting into the game.
Starting point is 00:39:01 So I'm just going to hold my tongue. You mean the person that already hates my guts anyway? I think he hates my guts too, to be honest. I've met that guy at a couple situations, and he did not seem to be amused that I was in the room. I think a lot of people have an acquired taste for Hunter McIntyre. Yeah, I could say that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:19 My first time ever meeting Hunter was at Solace. Damn right. Actually, how did we actually first talk? I think I just saw you in the locker room and we might have exchanged some words and then we just decided we were going to work out together somehow. We touched hips and then we started crushing weights. How was the first...
Starting point is 00:39:37 I remember our first actual hangout. That was the strip club in Miami. That was the first, like, we were like buddies. That was the first time we hung out. Yeah. But there was a lot of cool stuff that led up to that, though. We shared a room in Miami at this bitchin' hotel. Yeah, that was it.
Starting point is 00:39:54 Then we rented Vespas, which is probably the greatest decision in history. Oh, wait a second. Before all of that, you had sex with a girl on my couch at my house. Jeez. Jeez. that is true don't give up all my fake well hold on i had sex with a girl in a janitor's closet before that oh dude that was that was the greatest night i was just i don't know how this always happens to me but like i intentionally dress like the like the biggest tool ever. Well, everyone right now is like, all right, well, how did Hunter have sex with a girl on his couch? And why was he in the janitor's closet?
Starting point is 00:40:32 What were we doing? It was your Christmas party. Christmas party, yep. Yeah, it was your Christmas party, and we were raging. Christmas party at Chalk, which always goes down. Yeah. It was serious. It was a serious party party there was a ton of
Starting point is 00:40:45 holiday cheer in the air and let me tell you something those ladies were you know they were excited there was a lot of ladies there very very excited i i drink like three times a year and that's that's uh that's one of the big ones and um everybody's excited to see me to see ryan drink all the members get me really really smashed so i'm i'm there for about seven minutes before i'm hammered and then i'm just walking around just we're all taking we had a photo booth there we had i was disgusted by the amount of alcohol i drank at that point like it was the kind of thing where – Well, the best part of this story is that I didn't even go back to my house.
Starting point is 00:41:29 I slept at someone else's house. Yeah. And you went back to my house that you had never even been to really. No, no. The worst part about it is I stumbled in with this girl and making tons of noise, clearly in the act of about to have sex. And your roommate was on the couch and I was like
Starting point is 00:41:46 you need to get up because Ryan said I can come here and smash this chick on the couch your roommate said I can fuck on your couch dude, such a crazy thought and he was sleeping right? can you imagine somebody especially the way I was dressed
Starting point is 00:42:04 I was wearing chubbies, velvet overalls, and they were like felt. I don't know what the heck it was. It was fleece material. And I had a wig on with a bandana and like stunner shades. So for those of you out there, my roommate had never met him. Yeah. And Hunter had only been to my house for i don't know
Starting point is 00:42:25 we stopped at my house for like 30 seconds to grab something i would have been so offended so i had to i had to text him that night and be like all right you're gonna go here you're gonna put this code in grab my key out of this like lock box then you're gonna go in and then the couch is right there there's sheets in this closet like i, I wasn't even there. And my roommate was there, and Hunter had to kick him off the couch. It was hilarious. I'm always so puzzled by why girls fall into that spider web. I think – I can't tell. But, dude, you have to admit, like, since we started hanging out,
Starting point is 00:42:58 I've really tried to introduce you, like, dressing like a total baller when you go out. And it works. It really does. Ladies and gentlemen, I definitely was not planning on i mean i have some of my own ridiculous outfits but they were they're more of like fashion statement ridiculous hunters are more like actually ridiculous like like you're in the store and he's going for like the white zebra pants and he's like yeah this is gonna work and it does and it does but we found this to be true when we went to miami and we went to a strip club that we were gonna go to a strip club this is actually after wadapalooza so this is crossfit related just so you guys know we're not off topic that that um actually we were driving around on
Starting point is 00:43:44 the mopeds oh no we were got oh we we dropped the mopeds off we were about around on the mopeds. Oh, no. We dropped the mopeds off. We were about to get into an Uber. We Ubered down. Yeah. No, we dropped the mopeds off. Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 00:43:55 And then we were about to get to Uber. And then I was like, cancel that shit because I was about to get in the car. He comes over and shuts the door and he's like, I'll pay your cancellation fee. There's some things in here that you need to see and then must so he run into this store in uh what is that really famous street in miami it's uh ocean i don't know it's like collins it was collins yeah it's like the expensive like fancy strip yeah and we're in there and he's like these pants bro these and this and blah blah blah and i'm like because there was like a 70s night on the wad on the waves and he's like you need this outfit like blah blah blah and then we're gonna wear this for tonight and then i was like dude i can't fucking wear this thing i
Starting point is 00:44:38 look ridiculous dude and you were getting everything was on like 50 off and you're like i'm not gonna spend this money on this ridiculous outfit. Dude, by the end of the night at that strip club, women were stuffing money in my clothes. Yeah. Like in my pants. Like just like getting wild and crazy on me. The strippers were no longer the highlight of the night. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:58 I agree. And I had like this ridiculous jacket on that everybody loved. And then you brought the heat out on Wild on the Waves. Oh, my God. I wore the cheetah shirt, which a lot of you guys have probably seen on my instagram anything with animal print i'm telling you right now is just a knockout it's like bowling with bumpers on like you're gonna get the pins yeah i cannot believe that cheetah shirt dude i am telling you right now we almost started a whole Instagram account called The Shirt. Because I had brought my video guy with me.
Starting point is 00:45:31 And we were videoing everything. And as soon as I put that shirt on, and I was walking around for the night, because the 70s night wasn't until like 10 o'clock at night. And I put it on at like 5. And I started just walking around. And a lot of the girls that I'm actually talking to now, 10 o'clock at night. Yeah. And I put it on at like five. And I started just walking around. Dude. And a lot of the girls that I'm actually talking to now, they saw me walking around in that.
Starting point is 00:45:50 And they actually, they were like, I wasn't sure if you were gay or not, but like, I was definitely attracted to what was happening. And I was like, what? And I remember walking around and like,
Starting point is 00:45:59 Dan Bailey was like, it's a bold move, bro. And I was like, yeah, it looks good though. Right. And he's like, yeah, I just – it does.
Starting point is 00:46:08 He was like bummed about it, you know? And then like – Dude, people get jealous of that swag. Connor Murphy, Paul Tremblay, all those guys were like, right on, bro. Because they didn't know that I was dressed for the party later. They thought I was just wearing that because I went to dinner in it at like 530. And everybody was like, he's just wearing that, you know. And then I sat down.
Starting point is 00:46:32 Here's the story. I sit down and then my camera guy's like, dude, all these chicks are checking you out right now. I swear to God. And I'm like, I'm looking around and I'm like, yeah, they are. And then all of a sudden this lady next to me, this lady next to me and her husband are sitting there and there's two kids next to them and that's their, their kids. And I didn't know this, but the lady is like, how much money do I have to give you to get that shirt tonight?
Starting point is 00:46:59 And I was like, this shirt right here. I was like, you need to give me the most filthy lap dance in the whole world while you give me $500. And she said yes? And the guy next to her, which I didn't know who it was, he goes, well, that's never going to happen because this is my wife. And I was like, do you guys have a boat brawl? Dude, but then she was like, she starts just making casual conversation asking me who i am and what i do for a living and i start talking about chalk and i start talking about my online stuff and all these things and then she start proceeds to tell me that she invests in people that she
Starting point is 00:47:35 likes and that's what she does for a living she likes to give people money make their businesses even bigger and they take a cut or whatever and that's like what they do for a living and then the guy chimes in and says oh yeah i've heard of your gym i've done this and that like i would love to be interested like here's my card and then the guy that i'm with i'm with my i'm with my camera guy and this other guy who actually i gave the trip away on a giveaway and i hung out with him the whole trip he was actually awesome and um he goes wait a second. He stops the whole thing. And he's like, this guy just offended you in front of your children and told you he wanted a lap dance in front of your husband. And now you're about to give him $100,000 towards his business. Is this because of the shirt?
Starting point is 00:48:20 And this is where the whole shirt thing started. And she's like, it's a great shirt, my man. Dude, the whole shirt thing started. And she's like, it's a great shirt, my man. Dude, the whole trip, the whole trip, like the shirt, like literally had started so many conversations. It had started so many interactions with women. It had started so many things all because I was wearing this fucking cheetah shirt that had must have shown some sort of just like superior confidence. I realized for me that it worked in like – it was like middle school going into high school. Everybody had like – you remember when Ed Hardy was cool? Yep.
Starting point is 00:48:58 Like it was that era. I was like I'm going to spend like $60 to $120 on a t-shirt like for one t-shirt when i need like 20 to get through the week like so i started to go to walgreens which is you have walgreens in new jersey yeah yeah it's not many people know about them it's like a cvs yep and they have like this clothing section which is like very clearly like from like you know some kind of like you know like sweat shops like you know like a dollar yeah exactly and they were so stupid and they had like weird writing on them and like weird pictures and i remember buying this shirt that had like a big like almost like what do you call it when you like hot press it into a shirt it was like a big flower and on it like it was clearly a girl shirt it was like my most beautiful
Starting point is 00:49:41 features my big sexy brain and i wore that into school and it was the dumbest shirt ever and girls were like nice i was like really yeah and i was like oh shit so i started to go back to walgreens all the time and i started me and my friends and and like high school when we were super into skateboarding, we'd dumpster dive like crazy. And we'd just, like, ride around town and find huge dumpsters behind buildings. And we'd just, like, rip them to shreds. And we'd find treasure in them all the time. And I remember, like, I found, like, purple MC Hammer pants, like, all sorts of things.
Starting point is 00:50:15 And I would start wearing this to school, and it made me like a superhero. Like, I just, there was, like, an absurd amount of confidence that came with it, along with the stupidity. Like, if anybody's wearing that outfit, that guy's got to be pretty cool and I started doing it and I've always dressed weird ever since like I started like I got like diamond earrings and stuff like I usually wear like pirate earrings and stuff like I like you know whenever I rate when I was racing I put in like unicorn earrings and stuff like when I get to the starting line people like what the fuck is he wearing unicorn earrings for? This guy's going to fucking smash me. And dude,
Starting point is 00:50:50 now it's like, I've got like, if you go into my drawers alongside my bed, you probably think you're rich because you open it up. It's like filled with gold chains. They're all, they're all like knockoff gold chains, obviously.
Starting point is 00:50:59 I remember Kenny Santucci who owns Solace in New York. He was like, dude, Hunter told me to just go in his closet and grab something to wear he's like he's like I opened it up and I felt like I was in a circuit yeah yeah that's basically my life he's like I couldn't wear anything that was in there everything else I own if you notice is sponsored like Adidas sent me these shorts this is a fit aid hoodie and this is like a waffle shirt from Army-Navy store. So I only invest money in ridiculous clothes.
Starting point is 00:51:28 Yeah. Yeah. I love it. It is amazing, and I'm glad that I'm part of this now. I still have the black turtleneck with the ridiculous jacket. Turtlenecks crush. Turtleneck. The first time I saw you, that was when we took that group photo with Jen.
Starting point is 00:51:45 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we were at – That cream white turtleneck. Yeah, we were at some sort of like party for solace. It's called Seymour's. And it was my first time I had ever seen you go out. And you had on like black dress pants, a turtleneck. And diamond earrings, I think.
Starting point is 00:52:01 Diamond earrings, and then you had like Metcons on, which was the best part. And I was like, I wonder if he's, like, serious about the fucking turtleneck or not. Like, I couldn't tell. But just because I didn't know, it just, like, made me want to talk to you more because I was like, I don't know about this guy, but he's pretty rad. Yeah, and then I brought out my skin-, uh, Navy blue one where I almost, I look kind of like a double Oh seven and I had these like fake reading glasses. Like, damn.
Starting point is 00:52:31 Yeah. Yeah. With a perm. Yeah. People are, people are loving stuff like that. That's hilarious. I was just told that I got to cut my hair,
Starting point is 00:52:37 but like, I'm not going to lie. Every ounce of my body needs to have a mullet right now. I feel like there's potential for for for mullets these days it has to be like there i think that yours is going to be perfect because it has like all the curls yeah and then you just shave the side yeah but it's got to be like the whole i don't know it's like a stylish mullet in high school i had a skullet at one point i shaved the top of my head and i just had like a beaver tail in back it was pretty my first
Starting point is 00:53:06 girlfriend i ever had dated me with a mullet and braces but i was a dime back then it was hard to keep your hands off it how did your first sexual experience go dude kelly o'brien and i'll never forget like i had no clue what i was doing I reached down this girl's pants and I was like, kind of like opening, closing my fingers, like up and down. Like, I was like, what is this? It was mind blowing. And then you hadn't actually figured a girl yet either so you're doing everything you're just doing everything yeah this was uh basically like like freshman year going into spend a sophomore year in the like the summertime good for you yeah great um now i had like watched a ton of porn
Starting point is 00:54:03 up to this point and like the only way I knew how to have sex Was like porn sex Which was like hard Like Hard Aggressive sexual acts I'm literally about to have an anxiety attack because i'm laughing too hard and i'd also never worn a condom so like everything was so foreign to me the only sex i knew
Starting point is 00:54:38 was foreign I mean it might as well have been like the scene from the Passion of the Christ like the amount of noise and violence that came into that room was off the charts but it couldn't have lasted very long
Starting point is 00:54:59 it lasted forever that was the craziest part about it I think it was because it was the first time I wore a condom it had to have lasted well over an hour. And I was doing every kind of position you could imagine. It wasn't like – nothing was sensual about it. There was no kissing that ever happened because I just didn't know that that was what you were supposed to do. I didn't even really know that women had orgasms until I was like mid-20s.
Starting point is 00:55:21 Oh, my God. This is the greatest sex story of all time. Oh, man. but oh my god this is the greatest sex story of all time yeah oh man Kelly and I had a love affair that lasted you know about the length of a shooting star
Starting point is 00:55:31 but it was far more bright and it will it will touch many people's lives because of this podcast
Starting point is 00:55:39 I hope for some reason she got like an awkward obsession with CrossFit like decades decades later and she hears this yeah and she knows the love that I have for some reason she got like an awkward obsession with CrossFit like decades later and she hears this. Yeah. And she knows the love that I have for her still.
Starting point is 00:55:49 I hope that she does too. Yeah, because she fucking changed my life, Kelly. You're the best. Yours? Mine? Oh, dude. Dude, your beat-off stories are so haggard. How you told me you'd jerk off and you would just wipe your cum on the same spot underneath your bed?
Starting point is 00:56:06 We can get to that. We can get to that. Okay. But I think I've talked about that on another podcast before. But my first sexual experience, I have – well, I grew up in a house with two brothers and two sisters. I have three other sisters. But the five of us grew up in the house. And my one brother was such a dick growing up.
Starting point is 00:56:25 He just would, like, I used to get dressed up, like, super preppy in high school. I got best dressed in high school. Really? Yeah, I was, like, really fancy. I used to love, like, I'd wear, like, you know, like, yeah, all the fucking cool shit. Nice. Like, super GQ. And my brother was like, you're a fucking fag.
Starting point is 00:56:44 Like, you're just a fucking fag he'd always just like tell me i was gay and i was i remember just being like dude fuck you like you bring a girl who right now i'll have sex with her and he's like all right and i'm hanging out i'm downstairs in my house we have like a pool table downstairs and i'm and that's where my brother's room is also so i'm playing pool with my friend his name is nino and uh he's a great story of like a vintage porn super italian kid nino we were playing pool so then my brother's like i'm calling my friend crystal and there's no way you lost your virginity to a girl named Crystal. Swear. This is awesome. This is a porno. Dude, check this out. So I'm in seventh
Starting point is 00:57:28 grade. No. Seventh grade. This is vile. Like, dude, I didn't have sex again until like ten. Senior year. Yeah, like I didn't have sex again for a while. Two weeks ago. I was ready like after this experience. But anyway,
Starting point is 00:57:43 my brother's like coming down the stairs. And she just comes down the stairs butt naked. She's just standing there completely naked. And my brother's like, what are you going to do? And I was like, I don't fucking know. Like, I'm just, I've never even seen a naked girl before. So then he's like, well, do something. Do you need no tag teamers?
Starting point is 00:58:06 No, I ran over and just motorboated her. No. So I just stick my head in there and just do a stupid motorboat. Did she have nice boobs? Yeah. She did have nice boobs. That's a good start. So he's like, let me see if you can go through with it or whatever, right?
Starting point is 00:58:23 Because he still thinks I'm gay. And I don't know if he is super serious about it or if he's just serious about just bothering me about it. For sure he was. So we go into the room and then do our thing and then come out. And then my brother is like – just like starts shaking his head and he's like, yeah, you're a man now. This is kind of like forced sexual intercourse and a bit awkward. Dude, it wasn't – it's not a good story. Yeah, boy.
Starting point is 00:58:57 It wasn't a good story at all. Tell me how the act was. Okay. So basically she pulls me into the the room pulls my pants down and starts giving me like a blow job and i'm like oh wow this is this is really intense you know because i hadn't hidden any of any of that ever so then she's like all right we're gonna go to the bed right now and then i'm gonna i'm gonna get on top and i'm like all right so then i just lay down and then she gets on top of me and she starts fucking me but this how old was she like 18 18 she was fucking a 12 year old i don't know whatever seventh grade is that's 12 yeah dude it
Starting point is 00:59:37 was gnarly so then about 90 seconds go by and and it's over. No. And I remember being, like, a young kid like that, and I could jerk off, like, fucking 27 times in a row. Did you do it again real quick? Yeah. So I was like, oh, I'll be fine. I'll be fine. So then we went back to it, and then I would just keep asking her.
Starting point is 00:59:58 I'm like, hey, can we do this again? Don't worry. This is part of the process. Yeah. I'm like, can we do this again? Can we do this again? And I'd just, like, be all excited about it. And that was pretty much it. Did you guys stay connected? Did you become, like, Twitter friends do this again? Can we do this again? And I'd just be all excited about it. And that was pretty much it. Did you guys stay connected?
Starting point is 01:00:07 Did you become Twitter friends or something? No. Really? I don't even think anything was available at that time except for MySpace. Damn it. But it wasn't super... It wasn't anything I needed. It wasn't someone I liked.
Starting point is 01:00:20 It wasn't someone I knew. It wasn't someone I ever saw ever again. It didn't really have any actual... there's nothing about it that i remember i've looked kelly up multiple times i can't find her really yeah i can't find her she went to like she went to a school in a different town so like i didn't have mutual friends it was really random the way i met her like two of my friends were like super emo and would go to like rock concerts and like one of them picked up a girlfriend there and brought Kelly back with them so it was like an interaction like that like there was not many connections of like you know you know in the same loop but I always wonder what it's like when somebody you haven't seen
Starting point is 01:00:58 in a long time and you've had relations like relations with like that like sees you like somebody like you or myself like we're not famous by any means but we at least have like create uh buzz in small circles and like can you imagine just like bumping into like you seventh grade you and then you like look at your instagram you're like that dude looks like a fucking brick with abs and he's just like crushing fitness all the time aggressively like what the fuck and then you somebody like... He only knows how to have sex one way, the porn way. Hard. That boy right there, he'd fuck off.
Starting point is 01:01:33 I'm telling you right now, the amount of noises that came out of that room, like, were just... It was insane. I remember taking... I didn't even have sex with my first girl. She fucked me. And it was rape.
Starting point is 01:01:47 Did my friend? And then – My friends were like, what was it like? And we were drinking in the woods at the time, and I just took the beer can that I had and picked up a big rock and just smashed it a bunch of times. I was like, this is exactly what it looked like. The beer was like spitting shit all over the place. Like that's what I remember it like. Oh my God. I remember in high school that like we would all go to the movie theater at the time.
Starting point is 01:02:15 So this was after that all that happened. And in high school, like your entire sole mission is to just hook up with girls, hook up with chicks. So like from ninth grade to twelfth gradeth grade we all go to the movie theater and then you go to the movie theater and you just go to the back row and you just try to get like a girl to like give you a bj like during during the movie and like that was the thing like if you got one it was like legit you know it just makes me feel so grossed out going to movie theaters now and like sitting in those chairs. Yeah. Yeah. Because of shit like that. Yeah. Yeah. Because I did the hell out of it. My first ever, I wonder if I can get in trouble
Starting point is 01:02:50 for using people's names. I don't think it matters if they're like, if it's like 12 years ago. Becky Tebow was my first ever Was she related to Tim Tebow? Probably.
Starting point is 01:03:04 She's thick like tim and you know i did a show with tim tebow just recently i probably ask him like becky i want to talk to her no she was my first still a virgin right no i think tim's definitely popped that cork has he he just got engaged oh but he still hasn't he's not married yet can you imagine like what that process is really like where like i i hope it's much more beautiful than i imagine it but like you have sex with your partner for the first time you you're you just got married and like you guys have been together for like five years and it's like true love and you realize you're stuck with them forever it just sucks like everything about them sucks you're like oh this is terrible yeah yeah and
Starting point is 01:03:52 then you're like fuck that's like pretty much i'm gonna get in trouble if i say it part of me really wishes that i didn't have i wish it was like a one-stop shop because then once you've been involved with so many different things it's just like it's like a one-stop shop. Because then once you've been involved with so many different things, it's just like, it's like, you know, if you only knew about steak, then it wouldn't be difficult to like eat it for the rest of your life. You know what I mean? Yeah, right on. I was wondering where you were going with that.
Starting point is 01:04:16 I just think about that all the time. I'm like, have I gone too far? I worry about it. No, I think we've already gone extremely too far already on this podcast yeah I mean it depends what people are really ready to listen to if they're on my podcast they already know that this this this direction is possible and then if they know Hunter McIntyre they understand that this direction is highly probable and then now the two of us are together so here we are there's so much more I want to say, but there's so much that I feel like
Starting point is 01:04:48 I should be a little bit more professional and put together these days. I just never know what to do. There's a point in your career where you reach a level of success where it's like you got that fuck you money and that fuck you success. And I'm not saying I'm anywhere near it, so I have to maybe hold back a little bit because it's pretty interesting. Being sponsored by people and having a company believe in you enough
Starting point is 01:05:13 to fund you and the endeavors that you go through, and then you get on a podcast and you talk about this stuff, which I'm never going to stop doing, and I'm always very upfront with these people. I'm like, hey, listen, do you know who you're talking to? They're like, yeah. I'm like, just Google me. And they call me back.
Starting point is 01:05:30 And usually they call me back and they have no problem. It's like, we love you, man. That's why Joe Rogan's on his podcast talking about free bleeding. What's free bleeding? Oh, that's when girls, they've decided to not use tampons or pads anymore,
Starting point is 01:05:47 so they just free bleed. You know what? Women should be empowered to do whatever they want, but I don't want to talk about it on this podcast. It's like very hippie-like. It's a new hippie thing.
Starting point is 01:05:56 Oh. If you look up hashtag free bleed, it's... You spend a lot of time doing that? You fucking weirdo. I can't wait to see your internet history i mean i only looked it up after his podcast and people started really getting into this
Starting point is 01:06:13 free bleeding thing my my and this chick's like walking around her house free bleeding my internet and someone's videoing it and the dog's running behind licking it. Oh, that's fucked up. It's so fucked up. If you went to my internet history as of recent, like I watched porn yesterday and I bought like one of those strongman logs. Like it'd just be like... A strongman log and porn.
Starting point is 01:06:38 So it almost seems like aggressive male porn. Yeah, it is. Yeah, it is. I don't watch that like hardcore like rah-rah-rah porn. Yeah, it is. Yeah, it is. I don't watch that hardcore rah-rah-rah porn sometimes. But it'd just be so funny if you looked at my internet history because that's pretty much it. It's a tight loop. There's not much else going on.
Starting point is 01:06:59 Strong man equipment and aggressive porn? That's a solid search history, though. Like, your girlfriend can't be upset with that. Not at all. I'm like, you know I'm into both of these things. That was very straightforward. Do you think your significant other, when they hear these things, they're upset? Or they're more reaffirmed with the person that they're dating?
Starting point is 01:07:26 Like, if they heard this podcast yeah i think that they would just like the well-roundedness and honesty good because i'm hoping that comes across when this podcast comes out and jen listens to it and she's like oh sweet this is nice i'm really happy i chose him i feel like i'm very you know it's so funny um like what i do a lot with my free time these days is like i just lift an absurd amount and then i come home play magic the gathering with my roommates what is that it's ridiculous it's this i'm scared to know no don't be scared it's fucking awesome you should get in um i used to play as a kid it was like oh you remember pokemon yeah it's like a different version of like pokemon with like all these like you know dragons and like you know all different
Starting point is 01:08:16 like orcs and vampires and stuff and you have like these decks of cards and you have it costs money to like put them out you have to have money to put them down mana and then you just like battle and stuff and i'm telling you right now like i can't tell you like how much i fucking hate my phone and technology like i'm starting to like go back to what it was like to be a kid and just be in a room and do stuff that doesn't involve like the outside world like it's almost the only time of the day where I get to just have face-to-face interactions with people that is like uninterrupted for the social media thing. And I do that and I'll play Halo
Starting point is 01:08:55 and I do all this other stuff. And I just, I wonder what the girl that I'm dating thinks of. She's like, this kid's, this is like a 200 pound muscular five-year-old boy. Yeah. You know what I mean? Well, that is one hell of a story, my friend. Well, no, sorry.
Starting point is 01:09:18 Maybe it was a little bit of a tangent, but you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. I still live a lot like a little kid. Yeah, I'm aware. Yeah. Yeah. I don't want that to change. I feel like people get so serious.
Starting point is 01:09:32 I literally talk to people all the time. I'm like, I think I honestly live the best life ever. I laugh all the time. I'm always happy. There's no negativity in my life. I surround myself with good people and I do awesome things. I think that you could literally see me 30 years from now. it's going to be the same exact thing you've seen today. That'd be dope.
Starting point is 01:09:49 Yeah. I envy your lifestyle sometimes. You might envy mine every now and again, but I think yours is dope. What are you talking about, dude? You, you,
Starting point is 01:09:55 you live the same exact thing as me. You've just created so much business for yourself that you're, you're, you've got a lot of things attached to you. I like it though. I'm one of those people who like, if I, I'll bitch a lot of things attached to you. I like it, though. I'm one of those people who, like, if I... I'll bitch about it,
Starting point is 01:10:09 but then if I don't have it, I'll be like, I'm so bored. Yeah, man, you need that stuff, dude. You're a hunting dog, dude. You need something to chase. Like, you know what I mean? Like, that's the same attitude I have.
Starting point is 01:10:18 I'm just still... I'm still in the athlete mode. You kind of put that stuff behind you, which, you know, obviously was a little bit forced, but now you're just in business mode so speaking of that i can't believe i'm about to even get into something more serious but like where do you see hunter like five ten years from now i mean it's interesting i always tell this people this like i'm gonna try to answer your
Starting point is 01:10:40 question but i'm also gonna be honest i don't think it's necessarily really good to look at that like don't be an idiot and don't like you know just blindly steer your ship into the abyss and i don't even really mean it in that way like tell me how successful you're going to be but like no i get that if you're let's say you're not competing i mean i mean blah let me make it more specific let's say you're not competing anymore what do you see yourself doing oh how about that is that better my dream life so when i got to college they were like hey what do you want to do and i was like i want to be the crocodile hunter and they're like we don't have a degree for that and so they put me in anthropology and i shortly quit school uh i strongly believe that that was a true statement all of it it is it is a hundred percent a true statement dude
Starting point is 01:11:22 i fucking moaned like just like a total little girl when – Your first sexual experience? No, no, no. That was – you remember how that was. No. Next time everyone on this podcast has sex, they're going to think of a beer can getting smashed by a rock. And they're going to be like – That's still what it looks like to me today.
Starting point is 01:11:43 I can't. and they're going to be like, that's still what it looks like to me today. We need, after this podcast is over, we're all going to be millionaires off of a McIntyre condom. It's going to make you last an hour, and it's just going to be straight hard. Dude, it was the Trojan red condom, non-lubricated. Oh, you got red. Yeah, red. Red rocket.
Starting point is 01:12:04 Well, I didn't buy it. My friend gave it to me. He's like, it's time. The story's getting even better. It's so ridiculous. To be hand basically like a cylindrical trash bag to put over my penis with no lube on it. It was just such an absurd thing. Who buys non-lubricated condoms?
Starting point is 01:12:22 I get that there might be chemicals in there but deal with the chemicals but not because a non-lubricated condom is the most abrasive feeling on earth for both myself and the person on the receiving side yeah um especially when you're getting beer cans yeah so so now that we've found out about my sex life in 20th time, gosh, I really – I love nothing more than nature. Like right now, I don't talk about it on social media because like it's – I haven't perfected it. But like right now, I'm doing a thing where I'm not eating out of anything or drinking out of anything that can create trash. So if I go to the grocery store, like I have only bought, because I'm such an idiot, like I'm still, this is only two days, three days in the process,
Starting point is 01:13:09 I've only bought bananas and oranges and meat wrapped in paper bags. And like, you know, I can't even go like get a container of nuts. Like luckily this Rich's Nuts thing is, do you see that? There's a little bit of plastic on it, which I'm a little disappointed in, but at the same time it's for visual aspects. But it's made out of cardboard. And like, you see that like there's a little bit of plastic on it which i'm a little disappointed in but at the same time it's for visual aspects but it's made out of cardboard
Starting point is 01:13:27 and like you know like wood um that would be all right to some extent but like uh getting a gatorade couldn't do i drink gatorade all the time like i'm in a position now where i create so much trash because of my consumption rate it's ridiculous and it's just terrible for the environment so yeah back to what I was saying. What I would like to do. I would like to be a lot involved with the environment. I feel the same. I'm obsessed with animals.
Starting point is 01:13:54 Like Steve Irwin. All the money he would make. Is he would buy more conservation land. Which is amazing. Honestly. If you're listening to this podcast. I hope you take a shred of what I just told you you I'm doing and try to be more conscious about it. Because we are freaking destroying this planet.
Starting point is 01:14:11 And it happens on the smallest level. And the smallest things get eaten by the things a little bit bigger than that, a little bit bigger than that. And it comes all the way up the food chain to us. And our food quality is so bad. Yeah. Like there's like the one thing that I really love about Dave Osprey, the guy who owns Bulletproof Radio and Bulletproof the brand. Yeah. And he just talks about how just, like, the quality of your food is so important.
Starting point is 01:14:34 And basically the quality of the food over the past couple decades, we're having more and more women with, like, miscarriages. Like, more and more couples talking about having problems like having children and stuff like that like it used to be you know if you wanted to get pregnant you just get pregnant and now it's like one in i think it's like one in every 14 couples have like a serious hard time getting pregnant and then like the new like in the next 10 years from now they're saying it's going to be like one in seven. It's going to be like twice that. And it's basically because these animals are eating all of our fucking plastics or whatever. Or they're trying to grow things twice as fast.
Starting point is 01:15:14 And it doesn't have any of the nutrient density or whatever. And these chicken farms suck or whatever. And it's like all these things that we're consuming. And it's just – it's really, really bad. And and it's a shame and here's the reality of the situation i try to do small things right now but i'm hoping that i can build up enough momentum and enough of a platform uh doing what i'm doing right now so that i have a voice that people will actually listen to i think everybody no matter how small you are should try to make an active uh pursuit and changing things. But I'm hoping
Starting point is 01:15:46 that I can become pseudo-famous so that I can actually, like, people will listen to me and I can create momentum behind my word. And another thing which I still struggle with trying to figure out how I actually get involved in this, because I think the system's a little bit fucked, is I would like to be able to help mentor people who are in my position like who are kind of a little bit lost and a little bit insane uh not insane like that's a bad word like I just was a little bit I was hyper and they put so many pills in me and messed me up so bad from the age of like six until I was 21 I had to be on medication and I was court ordered for a couple years and like I think the system
Starting point is 01:16:26 just it was it was the era it was the pharma era basically like they were starting to understand all these pharmaceutical medicines and they were starting to basically test it on small kids like myself like I don't have any deformities by any means but I think there was a lot of potential for me to do better in school if they had taught me in a different process and exposed me to different ways of learning rather than just like everything has to fit into this slot a very very and coexist amongst the rest of us or you're a fucking problem and you're on pills and you're going to go in the special room so um those would be two of my bigger pursuits because in reality i would like to give back because of the lifestyle i have right now is very selfish.
Starting point is 01:17:05 Not to get all like woo woo, but yeah. Um, my life exists entirely around me right now. Like I have good friends, I have good family. I try to make sure that I treat everybody fairly. I make sure that I try to bring everybody into my life and,
Starting point is 01:17:17 and like make it a kind of an equal and exciting process for all of us. But right now it's, it's the hunter zone. Like, you know, that's what it is. And that's what it's like. You have to, it's the hunter zone. Like, you know, that's what it is. And that's what it's like. You have to be, especially if you want to, you know,
Starting point is 01:17:28 accomplish what you're trying to accomplish right now. Yeah. But I'd like to get outside of this because right now, I think there's a lot of cool things I could be exposed to and, like, help people out with. Yeah. But, yeah, dude, five years from now, I'm still probably going to be in sports.
Starting point is 01:17:44 And another five years from there, I would like to be more involved with the television and production of sport. And, you know, beyond that, I would like to make sure that there's a lot of charitable aspects of it. That's cool. Yeah, no big deal. I'm an angel. My mom says it at least. I mean, it's always interesting to know where athletes want to go in the future because I think so many athletes wind up doing either really, really cool things
Starting point is 01:18:10 or they just fucking implode and, I don't know, they go down a depression route or they just don't do anything cool with their money or they wind up just being dicks. It's hard, dude. Think about if your whole life existed around one rep maxes, home runs, slam dunks. Yeah. And like, you know, and crossing the finish line in front of like, you know, 20,000 other people at the Boston Marathon. Like those are fucking super, super high steep peaks. Do you know Dennis Rodman?
Starting point is 01:18:38 Yeah, of course. I love the dude. So he walks around like the town that I live in in Orange County in Newport and he goes to all the bars and stuff and he just gets like hammered drunk and just like gets like pulled out of bars and he's been like arrested for like so many DUIs now and stuff and he's just so gnarly. Yeah. But uh yeah I guess he's not on the the you know best track. But it's tough dude. It's hard because you know it's the same reason why I use drugs for so long. Like, I'm a person who chases experiences, not drugs. Now I'm chasing the experience of athletics.
Starting point is 01:19:13 And I'll admit, like, it's going to be very difficult for my family to live with me because, you know, when I'm done with this, like, I'm probably going to be skydiving. Yeah. And try to get into big wave surfing and try to climb rocks without ropes and stuff. Not because I'm an idiot. It's because it's an experience-based thing. Dude, I'm the same. As soon as I was done competing, I went all over the world and hiked all the biggest mountains I could find.
Starting point is 01:19:35 I mountain bike and road bike regularly. You're in a healthy process. I think unless you have that structure and you have that kind of foresight to understand that if you had dropped those things and decided, like, you know, if you went the same route as, you know, I'm not saying Dan Bilzerian is a bad guy, but you could have gone that route. Like, you know, just like I want to just fucking party all the time, chase all this stuff. Like, you know, you know, as I said, you're a hunting dog. Like you you're very driven, like goal-driven, everything like that. You see something, you chase it as hard as you can. I think, you know, that's what a lot of athletes live in.
Starting point is 01:20:10 I can tell I see it in you, myself. You know, I think people listen to this podcast. I hope you have that same amount of drive, but you have like, you know, a lot of, you know, good outlets for it. Yeah, definitely outdoor things, active things, definitely mean way more to me than any amount of money ever like being able to hop on a surfboard or go snowboarding or go on a hike and stuff like i would give that up i would not give that up for any amount of money that's for sure you know i think about all the time when i travel to places like maui or like costa rica
Starting point is 01:20:41 probably said in the hardest for me i wondered if I was doing it wrong. Like I worked the whole life thing, the whole life thing for sure. Cause down there there's these people who live and they like have like a, this like a Toyota Tacoma that's like 25 years old and probably is like 500,000 miles in it. And they live in like a hut close to the beach with like a, like,
Starting point is 01:21:01 you know, a fruit field behind their house. Happy as fuck. Happy as fuck. They live in this, in this lifestyle where they don't need any more and they're not going to have any less they've created a situation for themselves but don't have credit card debt don't have car bills don't have social media don't have don't have things that only take from you like i was listening today um on the radio like just talking about how like it was a comedian talking about double slavery like basically like you know having to like the government has is putting basically taking away things from us because
Starting point is 01:21:41 they're in debt to the bank we're in debt to the government federal tax like takes from us because they're in debt to the bank. We're in debt to the government, federal tax like takes from us. Like there's just so many things always sucking away from us. And I always just, I kind of wish that I was just like in a, in a situation where I didn't have to look like five different ways when I cross the street because what's behind me is debt. What's ahead of me is problems. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:22:03 Yeah, for sure. Yeah, dude, I can't even tell you how many people I know in the last like 10 years. I would say 7 or 8 out of 10 people that I know that went to Bali never came back. Yeah. They'd go to Bali and be like, this is such a more simple lifestyle.
Starting point is 01:22:23 The American dollar is worth so much. And I literally don't feel, like I don't feel the need to have anything super expensive. And it's like $400 a month for me to live in like a fucking mansion with a maid and everything. Yeah. And it's like they get there and they experience it and they're just like, well, I'm just going to stay here. And they do. And I think it's very very very interesting for sure i mean i can't i mean i could imagine but it would be amazing to not have to be on my phone like all day and like all these things but i wonder what i wonder if you
Starting point is 01:22:56 would miss it like i wonder if you would do that for like a couple months or a year and be like i miss like people who like i don't know i don't think so man i people who, I don't know. I don't think so, man. I don't know. I don't know either. But you're working so hard to live experiences. Yeah. But you're living an experience every day. Yeah. That's the kind of thing I think about all the time.
Starting point is 01:23:15 But I think when you're in society like this, you see and you want. I mean, I don't necessarily want a Lamborghini, but every once in a while, I'll see one and be like, oh, that'd be cool. You know what I mean, I don't necessarily want a Lamborghini, but every once in a while I'll see one and be like, oh, that'd be cool. You know what I mean? Many years ago I went to church with my ex-girlfriend, and I don't go to church very often, not because I don't think I should, but just other things happen.
Starting point is 01:23:35 Yeah. So this pastor's up there, and he's like, hey, guys, I just want you to listen to this. He's like, you know, you're all sitting right here, and you got a girlfriend, and maybe you got a car, and you got an apartment. And then all of a sudden you're like gosh you kind of want a faster car and i want a bigger house and like the girl you know across the street's really cute like i want to date her and then all of a sudden you get that girl and then you said like you want to
Starting point is 01:24:00 upgrade your car again you want to get an even better house that's on the beach now and eventually like what time are you going to get an even better house that's on the beach now. And eventually like what time are you going to stop and enjoy what you have rather than thinking about the things that you don't have
Starting point is 01:24:10 that you could possibly enjoy. And at the time I was like what a fucking idiot. I was like that's like somebody who has no drive in their life.
Starting point is 01:24:17 Wants nothing for themselves. Basic fucking just like just sitting there in your own shit and not caring about the opportunity that's ahead of you. And I was like at the time i was like just a young guy i was like 23 or 24
Starting point is 01:24:29 fuck that priest yeah it's like you're stupid and now dude i'm like sometimes i'm like fuck he was so right he was so right i think there's a little bit of parameters around it though oh no no no it would be hard for you right now to go, like, live in Culver City. No, no, no, I totally get that. Listen, I'm not telling you to, like, pack your shit up and move into the most meager accommodations and find some girl who's cross-eyed
Starting point is 01:24:56 and, you know, all these other things. She might be the best girl in the world. But I'm saying, like, don't, like, downsize just to, like, have less so you could experience more of the less that you have. But I'm saying we're in a society right now where you're conquered by wanting more. For sure. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:25:17 It's something where hopefully you and I, 10 years from now, we could ditch this headset and we're both living in either Bali or Costa Rica in like super shit kicker trucks and we're loving life. Dude, I have a shit kicker truck right now and I love my truck. What do you don't have a shit kicker truck? It's a 2018 Tacoma. But I mean, that's not a shit kicker. It could be a shit kicker truck if it was 10 years old.
Starting point is 01:25:41 I hope so. But it's a Tacoma, you know, I'm not like I could buy whatever I want, but I don't. I just have my pickup truck. I love my truck. Dude, you got to get it zombie mode like mine. So I got the Tundra. It's the big boy truck of his. And I put huge suspension on it.
Starting point is 01:25:57 Not like just shocks. I put suspension so that when I hit people, I don't feel it. Which never happens. No, I don't feel it. And then... Which never happens. No, I'm just kidding. And then I got this huge bumper on the front that's got the skid plate underneath, so when I hit people, they slide right underneath. Yeah, and then I've got that zombie light-up bar
Starting point is 01:26:15 on the front, dude. If you have all those things, you're set. You've seen a wood chipper now in the back in case you do run somebody over, and the body needs to be completely disposed of. Exactly. You know what I also think about for you, dude? It's's like do you ever think about when the apocalypse hits because after the fire hit here dude so much shit went bad like looting people acting insane with guns cops like
Starting point is 01:26:34 blocking you off from being able to get back into your own home which is your only sense of protection and convenience in the area like most people were so displaced by it dude if if like a major thing ever happened down by you, you're in the thick of it, dude. Zombies are going to get you. I think you should move to Malibu. I mean, I'm not completely opposed. I need another gym down here is the only problem.
Starting point is 01:26:55 I need something. Dude, do you want to open up Malibu gym, like a Malibu CrossFit with me, dude? We'll just get beefy with celebs all day. I'm super down for that. Dude, Taylor Swift is going to be in our gym all day. Yeah. Yeah. And Matthew McConaughey only be in our gym all day. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:05 And Matthew McConaughey only doing tricep extensions. And abs. Yeah. I heard that there is a lot of photography of him on the beach just doing like
Starting point is 01:27:13 really aggressive Hunter McIntyre first time sexual experience sit-ups on the beach. Like just hard for like an hour. Good for him, dude. He's somebody who you know when he first became famous?
Starting point is 01:27:28 I hope this is not a fake story. I heard it, you know, among circles around here. When he first started to get his shit together, he would go down to like Costa Rica and like live near the beach and just sell coconuts and stuff. Like he would just like simplify his life for a bit and get out of the heat and then come back into like the real world, get a good job, do the movie thing, go back he did that like for a while really yeah man so he knows it like he could be in the gym with a trainer with all the fanciest gear but he just goes down to the gym just gets that that aggressive hip thrust gets his pump in and he's back to life dude i actually he just went up a whole bunch of points now i see him every once in a while like in the grocery store really and he is just like he is in the movies. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:05 He almost acts like he's on a skateboard at all times. He's like, yeah, baby. I'm like, what? He probably crushes. Yeah, dude. It's a freaking cool life. I'm like... Do you see a lot of movie stars living here? All the time. All the time. All the time. My first day ever being here, I was walking on the beach
Starting point is 01:28:21 and saw Halle Berry and I was just like jaw dropped. I was like, holy shit. Was she super babe you're super babe christ yes yeah it was incredible i remember when i was a kid i jerked off to monster ball monsters ball which you guys billy bob thorne just like rails her you'd shit her house billy bob has gotten with more attractive women than anybody who looks like that should but i remember just like replaying that one scene where they're having sex when I was a kid. Especially when it was like a VHS. Dude, it was. It was a VHS.
Starting point is 01:28:52 Play. Get a couple pumps in. Reverse. When I first started watching porn, it was on dial-up internet. And I had to sit there. Beep! Then you click the website. It was like an hour preparation.
Starting point is 01:29:08 Listen, I think after all of our conversations today, you should start that business with me. Which one? Oh, okay. The internet porn business. Do you want to tell everybody what it is? No, because I feel like if I say the name, because I actually looked it up online, it's not owned.
Starting point is 01:29:21 Okay. So it's a very big possibility. First of all, I have to have a talk with my parents before I start the business and then I have to have a talk with the girl that I've been seeing
Starting point is 01:29:30 because here's the reality. Like, my parents, it affects them more and I've done so many stupid things in my life that have just like directly landed on their doorstep
Starting point is 01:29:40 and there's like, and like, there's like, you know, you have something to do with your son being such a fucking idiot. Like, that's what they have to face all the time but the thing is is like i tell them like hey listen like the benefits for you guys is going to be unlimited
Starting point is 01:29:53 opportunity like i'll buy you any car you want i'll buy you your house everything like that just let me run this porn this porn empire i'm not above porn like everybody i know watches porn god have you noticed how many mosquitoes are in the house right now it's crazy we left the fucking door open i'm such an idiot dang it they're savages yeah so listen yeah we started dude who cares about fitness how many people do you know who work out you own a gym so but how many people outside of that do you know who work out i mean not a lot of people work out exactly but how many people you know who beat off regularly on the porn websites every single day exactly so what's
Starting point is 01:30:35 the point like dude if you had 10 if it was like a fit porn that's what i'm talking about okay dude don't give up the fucking stuff. I'm telling you right now. I remember you saying something about it, but now – no, I remember now. Exactly. Now you know why we're going to be billionaires. All right. So listen. I always say this to people.
Starting point is 01:30:54 If you could get 1% of the population in a market – That's 100%? No, no, no. It's not 100%. Think about how much money you could make. Only think about the number of 1%, like trying to sell a product to 1% of the market that you're going to. In the fitness industry, let's say that on the planet,
Starting point is 01:31:14 there's 500 million people who are super into fitness. 1% of that would be 5 million? I think so. Okay, so $5 million, and let's say your product is twenty dollars after expenses it's down to ten so you're making maybe 50 million dollars basic porn industry which like especially in like asia is like off the charts you're probably thinking about like three billion to maybe six billion people so then and in asia if they jerk off twice a day that could be
Starting point is 01:31:45 potentially another billion. Exactly what I'm talking about here, dude. 1% of that, we're billionaires. Yeah, we're coming on to something here. I'm not into billions anymore. I'm into billions. So listen, anybody who's listened to this podcast and wants to be part of my empire, Ryan,
Starting point is 01:32:02 you're already, because of the association of the friendship you're in you're probably going to be the first person casted yeah i mean i could do that yeah you should yeah it'll be better than my first you know in your guides how you sell like and it says like the things you got like you know your education and stuff yeah and then you'd be like top star and like you know, in my porn empire. I was Maverick
Starting point is 01:32:27 in the first... Maverick in Black Thunder. In the first McIntyre production. Yeah. Thank you. All right, ladies and gentlemen, I'd hate to do this to you guys, but we have to end this podcast
Starting point is 01:32:38 at some point. Unfortunately, some of the best things that you'll ever hear in your life could potentially happen when this is over. However, there were some points in this podcast where I did laugh so hard that I almost had to stop the podcast. I couldn't breathe and receive oxygen into my lungs.
Starting point is 01:32:54 So I hope you guys laughed as hard as I did. I hope that you guys watch the YouTube that is going to be coming out that is going to be the road to the games for Hunter McIntyre. It's going to be on the FitAid. Yeah, if you could do me a favor, anybody who's listening to this, the hashtag is GetHunterToTheGames. We have a voting platform that we're going to put up. There's really no direct way of understanding what the heck's really going to happen with this thing.
Starting point is 01:33:15 So I, instead of asking, have just started the process myself. And honestly, guys, anybody who's listened to this and you're a fan of it, it'd be a huge help if you guys got a little bit involved. Tag, post, whatever. It's awesome to be part of this experience. Ryan's been an incredible person in this whole journey. So guys, keep on listening to this podcast because he's probably been the best resource as of recent for me in the whole fitness experience.
Starting point is 01:33:41 I'm very grateful for that. So I appreciate you having me on, dude. Thanks, sir. Where can everybody find you? Instagram at the Hunt the Sheriff or just type in Hunter McIntyre on Google and you just have a wild time. Yeah, how do you spell McIntyre for everybody?
Starting point is 01:33:55 M-C-I-N-T-Y-R-E. That's a little bit different spelling. What were you thinking? No, no, no. I mean, I don't know. I just don't think that... It's the Scottish spelling, baby. Oh, yeah. Check out Million Dollar Mile't know. I just don't think that. It's the Scottish spelling, baby. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:05 Check out Million Dollar Mile. We're on TV on CBS right now just crushing just normal people trying to get through an obstacle course. They're trying to make money, and they think they're going to make money. Chances of them getting money, pretty slim. All right. Big dogs chasing them down. And then the YouTube series that is going to be him traveling around the world, working out with the best athletes in the world in CrossFit so far
Starting point is 01:34:27 is going to be on the FitAid YouTube channel. You guys could see our – I'll give you some of the content too. Yeah, and you guys will see some of it on my Instagram, Ryan Fish, R-Y-A-N-F-I-S-C-H, and you'll see some of it on potentially my YouTube, and you'll see all of it on his – or not his YouTube, but the FitAid YouTube, and you'll also see our first workout together that happened earlier this morning, and all the coaching. I gave a lot of coaching tips out during the video. So that's everywhere where you guys can find Hunter. His Instagram stories are out of control, hilarious, so make
Starting point is 01:35:02 sure you follow him on Instagram on Hunt the Sheriff. He doesn't necessarily post things that he probably should be posting. You know one of my guys who's like mentored me for a while like contacted me the other day he's like do your sponsors like you? I'm like what? He's like the shit that you do
Starting point is 01:35:20 just doesn't make any sense. He's just like why? But that's why I like following you. I know. You know what I mean? I think the people who actually follow me are very invested in the things that I'm doing. So I tell the people who end up working with me, I'm like, these are true followers. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:35:34 Yeah. True. So you guys will have a – if you laughed during the show, you'll laugh equally as much every single day watching him do ridiculous things. So without further ado, we're going to end the episode and I hope that we see you on the interwebs, on our stories on Instagram, on the YouTube, and hopefully you guys vote for GetHunterToTheGames and follow the hashtag on Instagram. Thank you guys again. I'll see you next week. Real chalk over and out.
