But there's something so gratifying about like saying oh, yeah, I kept that sticker on for ten years All right, you flex on your homies. You're like dude Look how new this fucking have you have a hat that has the price tag on it from ten years ago. No, but not even ten years old. What am I talking?

He's coaching people already. already he's just getting into the methodology but he like picked it up really quick isn't he too old to be a competitor how old is he he looks like

he's like 28 years old bro he's my age he's 23 oh shit all right 7th to April 3rd for an action-packed frosted class over the 13 weeks coach Troy and I are gonna teach you the fundamentals of fitness puts you a limit to that no you had we're gonna build up some strength. Whether you're just starting out or looking to take your performance to the next level, this program is going to give you everything you need to succeed. Like he said, it doesn't matter what skill level you are, whether you're just having your crossfit gym or you're a professional like myself, come step in with us and watch my crossfit. We're gonna get strong for this new year. Hey, what is this thing you're doing here? This looks good.

So, Mode, I'm just gonna say this word, Mode is an entire campus here in Liberty Lake, Washington. It has, you can do anything you want business, anything you want medical. There's all these different fitness avenues. They have this huge music performance studio, crazy restaurants going in there. So it's this huge building and our gym is part of mode.

And it's really freaking cool. So essentially like think of Mayhem, how they do all these different things, right? It's like Mayhem on steroids. It's like this huge campus that does everything. So if we're just talking fitness, they have a dance studio, they have yoga, they have our cross gym, they have HIIT classes, they have jujitsu classes.

They do like team sports training on their turf. He's building this massive complex and this massive field that's going in next year. And this is all two minutes from my house. So it's like, dude, like when I talk about environment, this is what I talk about. It's like, I have like the best gym gym in the world right in my back door. And then I have all my friends there with me every day. So I just have a blast, bro. Who's he? Who built that place? Okay, this guy's name is Luke Kajar. I think it's Luke Kajar.

And he's an incredible dude. But I don't know if you could find his Instagram. I don't know if I follow him. but he's on there in some places, but he just, he funded this thing out of, uh, you know, some, some other business that he sold as a successful car business. And, uh, you know, this thing's going to take off here in Liberty Lake. Is he American? He's American. Oh, it sounded like a foreign last name.

What city is it? I think it's, I think it's, I don't know where he is it? I think it's I think it's I think it might be Denmark It's it's in Liberty Lake Washington. So right next to Spokane right in the middle of Spokane and Coeur d'Alene Hey, is that where you've always done CrossFit? No, man, that's him. Yeah, that's him. Uh, so The last year the last year I got shown this gym right when I moved back here from Florida. And when I moved back from Florida, I was like, Danica, like, I don't know if I'm gonna be able to thrive my training here. Like, I just I don't know if it'll happen here in Spokane. There's just not enough like, talent. There's not enough guys my age or like similar hardworking people.

Like I knew Cole Sager and Katrin were here, but I didn't know if they'd ever come out of their garages or not. So I just kind of felt like I was like alone when I really like training with people. And then all of a sudden this space pops up. I all my friends move here. I meet a ton of cool dudes my age and now I'm like I'm never going anywhere else. You met a ton of cool dudes your age there. Oh yeah yeah yeah the guys in the gym with me Jason, Jackson, Zach, Troy, my brother Spencer and they were trying to get tutored to move over here as soon as possible. Hey you met Troy there? No not here me and Troy went to elementary middle high school not elementary but I knew of him in elementary school. And we grew up in the same neighborhood of Snoqualmie North Bend area in Washington.

So he moved there because you moved there? I think so. Yeah, I think that he wanted to train and just be a part of something bigger than himself. And obviously, there was other guys here too, that, you know, he wanted to be around and just grow in community and faith with and you know he jumped in big leap of faith and I think he's loving it man. And are all he and he trained with you five days a week Troy? Mm-hmm yeah he does his own thing like he's doing personalized programming from me but he like we'll do pieces on Wednesday, Friday, all of us guys, just to like, you know, keep us like in community with each other in the gym. So it's not like we're all

doing our own thing all the time. So we decided like going into the season, like Wednesday, Fridays are our bro day is what we're doing Metcon together. Like they'll do whatever I'm doing, whether it's the brutal Friday or intervals, Matt program for me, whatever it is. Hey, are you tripping at all that Hopper came to? You already got you and Dallin. You're still with Brute, right?

Yes. And then Dallin's with Brute. And then the third wheel now. You guys got a chaperone, Jason Hopper. Are you cool with that? Does that invigorate you? Does that threaten you? Does that?

Oh, I think it's awesome. I think he's getting the best programming on the block now um but i i do i do think that um matt's bandwidth would have been too low to coach three males all competing head and head and head three that all have high potential of winning it again next year so i think it was smart that he offloaded to coach L. God, what a trip. When I think of you guys, all I can think about is, is that, you know, um, final event at the CrossFit Games, the three of you guys, uh, mad charging, um, giving Fikowski that farewell gift. That was nice. You got it. I mean, he, he went out with another bang at Rogue. Like he, like, I mean,

to all his performances he mentioned in the he, like, I mean, all his performances, he mentioned in the last like three, four years have all been like average of third or fourth. Like that's just crazy to me to think about. Like think of his season this year. He went a second place semi-finals. He went a third place games. He did a second place Waza.

He did a second place Rogue. I uh, he did a second place rogue. I'm just like, you know, he may not have won everyone, but like, dude, what a frigging career, man. Hey, I want to come back to Jason, but sorry, I don't remember if I finished this, it could be just my skills. Tell me about this thing again, January 7th, April 3rd. Do you have to be there to participate in this? You do have to be there, but if you can't be there and you want to be coached by me or my team,

Next Gen Performance is really taking off in 2025 and we're trying to help people train smarter, move better, live longer. Whether it's CrossFit for you or you want to be better on your field of play and soccer or basketball or football, we got something for you. And we put together one-on-one custom programs to help you crush your fits. And, and I remember the first time I had you on, we talked about this. This is it here. Yeah. Oh my God.

I used to do a lot of in-person and now I just don't have the time because, you know, it's like, I'm training to, you know, dominate my sport myself. Um, but when I'm done with CrossFit one day, like's like I'm training to you know dominate my sport myself But when I'm done with cross at one day, like this is what I want to sink into I want to do real estate and I want to help kids be better. I want to help adults be better I want to help the elderly be better And you know, it's just like I feel like I have a gift with helping people find their fit And know how to dose exercises appropriately as simple as that is. Hey, are you afraid at all that those skills will erode if you don't keep doing it on some level?

No, the teaching skills? No, no, but that's why I do it. So I'm like, I want to keep myself fresh. And like, for me, it's not about like, like next gen isn't like a moneymaker for me, but it's more just like, oh, I get to give back I get to like, if there's one kid in that room right there, that's like, wow, I really want to start working out because James showed me this, like, I want to do it right. Like that's that's what it's about for me. And, and you do you do old people too? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I have a client named Kevin. And he's right there. The guy in the middle red shirt. He's, I think he's 62, 63,

and he's moving like a bad-ass, bro. Yeah, he's yoked. Dude, he's fricking awesome. He took me golfing right after the games at this nice course, and he kicked my ass in the golf course too. He looks like my high school gym teacher. Dude, that's amazing.

He's a very passionate man. Hey, so anyone can do this? Anyone who wants to? Anyone. All you gotta do is go fill out the form in my bio and then I'll reach back out to you. We got on a call, we talked about your goals, see if it's a good fit. Crazy dude. Yeah man. Hey, so you're full, what are your, as they say in the corporate world, your verticals? Like what are your, like I'm assuming you have to keep your day really tight.

Like what are the things that James Sprague like if you've had three or four hobbies or activities? Obviously training for games. So yeah, I guess what will go priority is less than my day. First it's like getting the word for me read pray, make sure I'm keeping that relationship nurtured first and foremost. Second, I would say is, you know, my relationship with my wife now comes for a crossfit before I married her, I would have I would have told you on

camera, like, like, she completely came first, but I would say that my actions didn't say so and now like my actions say so. I would say that, you know, she comes first before training. And I definitely like, like that will be forever. So goes Faith Danica, Kroa relationships with my bros, I would say even comes before CrossFit. I want to make sure I'm nurturing those friendships well too. Um, I just love the guys in my life. I think that I, I'm really lucky to have this amount of friends locally too, that

I can just like, you know, be around. I'm a big dude's dude. We do so many fun things like glass last weekend before they all left to go back to their OG homes. We did a like a high end white elephant poker game night and watched movies and hung out and just did bro stuff and like we do that high end white elephant is like you set the max for presents at 50 bucks instead of 20 bucks. No it's 200 bucks bro.

Damn. We did a good one. We did a good one. Damn. And I got Pat Pat Sprague's massage credits. Nice. It was dope. But yeah, man, third is the guys and then I'd say fourth my training.

And you know, the three and four go together because all the guys in my life are hardworking dudes who want to be in the gym with me hours and hours a day. So it's like a lot of our hangouts are in the gym, like crushing each other and workouts. And man, it's just, it's just the community we have is so cool, man. And then I say fifth is like, fifth is like golf and crypto trading and, uh, you know, pickleball and, uh, playing games like, uh, well that's six cause next gen is is fifth for me next gen's fifth but

it's definitely like next gen still something i like check in on every day i'll be on my computer you know on average per week eight to ten hours checking in with clients or phone calls or whatever it is so it's not much but like eight to ten hours a week is eight to 10 hours you could be spending stretching or working on your recovery in some way or whatnot. So it's very worth it to me. Just the emotional connection I get to people and clients through it. So it's very worth it to me to sacrifice those 10 hours of whatever I could be doing to enhance myself to help enhance other people. You mean when you say 10 hours, you mean 10 hours a week? Yeah, 10 hours a week.

It's not much. Wow. Dude, I mean, that's a lot. Dude, you probably podcast way more than that. I mean, but yeah, it's my full-time gig. I do it 10 hours a week. Let me ask you this. What was the realization look, going back to number wife, what's the realization look

like? Number wife? to number a wife. What's the realization look like number a wife when you take the thought what you you were probably talking to someone you're like I put my wife first in my relationship with my wife first and then one day you were like wait a second I say that but am I really doing it what was the moment that you had that realization that two weren't connected that you that you were saying it but you weren't doing it. Oh man. I would say I was maybe disrespectful in the gym. One day during like quarterfinals. I think that was the day I was like, man, like, I'm putting this above her and other things.

Something you said or your Yeah, I was just snappy and rude and like, do this for me like that kind of attitude of like, oh, I'm, I'm so good at this, you should be wanting to serve me kind of thing. And, and I just remember doing that. I'm like, I felt icky, like, I don't want to be that guy. I want to treat people with respect that that served me. And so I realized like, oh, I was putting CrossFit used to be a huge idol for me. Like it was my number one over everything.

If CrossFit wasn't going well, nothing was going well. So now for me, if like my relationship with God isn't well, not a lot's going well. So the number one priority has to be in check at all times for me. And now that, you know, CrossFit's a three or four priority, if it's not in check, both other things in check I'm doing a okay hey what um did she call you out on it or you called yourself out on it or how did you call me out she did she call me out yeah and I just like I think I've had moments around Sega here where he's like did you're really intense in the gym like

take a chill pill, just enjoy yourself. And I'm like, okay, I'll try my best. It's hard for me, because I've like, you know, I've been around intensity in the gym. Dallin and Danielle are super intense, not in like a bad way, but like, it's very serious. It's cutthroat training, like, hey, we're here to get a job done, which is awesome.

I respect it. Now I needed something more in the middle, because that just wasn't me. Like I'm not the, I'm not the go in and just, you know, treat it just like a job. I need to treat it like a hobby and a passion and have fun with it every day. Or, you know, I get, I get bored of it. So I'm the kind of guy dancing around, making jokes, having a good time while warming up whatever But I lock in so doesn't mean I don't lock in I work my butt off But I also have a really good time doing it. Yeah, it's interesting because we know you is happy go lucky

So it's interesting to hear that you get feedback that in training that you were too intense There was actually the opposite that in your training you were you were like too intense and and when she confronts you on that are you do you get defensive at first what's that repeat that one more time when she confronts you on that do you get defensive oh yeah I used to be really bad about taking criticism yeah I was so bad about it from from anyone especially like my wife, I used to be really terrible about just accepting whatever she was saying was true. And now it's like, I feel like, you know, arguments are inevitable. But like, there's a way to work together in them and see,

you know, it's you guys against the problem. You've probably all heard that, but like, it's true. It's like you have to work against the problem together, not work against each other. So I used to be really bad at it for sure. Hey, do you guys go to a counselor? No, no, we don't. So you guys just talk it out yourselves? Yeah, 100%.

Relationships are hard. They are hard. They are hard, man. But worth it. Yeah, very worth it. And by hard, I don't mean like in a bad way, hard like fucking wrestling a cougar, like, or a bear. I mean, they're hard, like in the sense that, just like a CrossFit workout, it pays, it's fun. It's hard. It pays off. You're happy

I don't mean to make it. It's nasty Hey, there was this Hi, Suza Hi, good morning. Hey, and there's more coffee for you there Amazing. Yeah, and I didn't I was gonna dilute it But I did not because my wife told me most people don't like to drink coffee like a pansy like you. Oh my gosh.

Thank you. Is he at your house? Yeah, he just showed up. Oh, no way. Do you guys live near each other? He probably 70, 80, 90 miles. So but he came over to just hang out today or what? We're going to see you buddy.

And I can't even see you. That's the craziest thing, but I hear your voice. That sucks bro. You got a nice couch and setup there. Is that right across from Siobhan? Yeah, I'm looking right at him. We're headed over to Greg's house this morning to do a, Greg's doing a test run of a new seminar he's putting on next month.

Oh sick. Yeah, so we came over, he's going to run a test, a little mock version of it. Me and Dave are going over there. His house in Coeur d'Alene? No, no, no, no. Just down the street. Damn, bro. You gotta let me know next time you're coming here because we'll, me and all the boys will

totally have you out, bro. God, I would love that. I would love it so much more. James, I saw, I saw. You want to move your, flip your camera sideways. Oh yeah, yeah bro. James, I can't remember who it was. This is like 20 years ago. I can't remember who the quarterback was, but I saw this quarterback being interviewed on 60 minutes and it was his second Super Bowl and they said, hey, how good is it? And he said, the truth is,

is I would trade one of my Super Bowl victories for a fishing day with my dad. Oh. And I was wondering if you experienced any of that when you won the games that there wasn't, that it was a letdown, that there was a come down, that there's not a there, it's nothing since it's nothing you could hold on to,

that it was kind of like not as good as maybe you thought. And I know you're very close with your dad and your family as well. Totally, yeah, no, it was special, but like going back to what we said about like your priorities in life, like I worked really freaking hard for that for nine, nine and a half, 10 years. And I will continue working my butt off for that. And I that's obviously the end

goal is winning. And it's what drives me. It's a lot of what drives me. It's not the main driver. But, you know, for me, it's like, I always thought winning the games is like a kid when I started cross It would be like the end-all be-all like I have completely made it There's no other purpose in life You know once you win the games just everything is sunshine and rainbows, right? But that's that's not true like like, you know, you reset to the next year and all that Special magic goes away next year and all that special magic goes away and it's like okay no life life is still you know you may have a little bit of extra money or a little nicer things but that's not like what makes life

great it's the people around you and the community you have and you know the impact you're able to make on people i believe is is what life's about and when when you leave, like, will people say, you know, was James more than a CrossFit champion? Like, how did he impact people? And so, for me, like, yeah, that was really cool winning the games. It was amazing. And obviously a highlight of the career and I want to keep doing it. But yeah, like, I wouldn't trade a title. Let me put it this way. A title to me is not near as valuable as the people I have in my life. And I only have that title because the people in my life supported me to get there. So for me, all those guys that were in my corner the whole time, and my family is in my whole corner,

anyone that came to support me, like those things those people are way more important than the title itself so yeah I agree with what the quarterback said like if you if you're not right with the relationships that are important to you like those are way more important than that title itself there I feel like there's this cycle that games athletes go through. They find CrossFit, they want to compete at the highest level, they start competing at the highest level, they have some success, and then it's almost like they end up having friction with their love.

Do you know what I'm saying by that? They end up thinking like they come to some realization for themselves, but they start projecting it on the world. Like they come to some realization that that much training is really hard on the body. Like all professional sports, whether you're skateboarding or baseball, performing at the highest level

is gonna take some wear on your body. Or that it's almost like they end up having a fight with their passion. Yeah. Like they didn't get fulfillment from it, so now they're going to kind of turn on it. I just feel like I've seen that from the beginning, from OPT, you know, up. There's just this cycle that they all go through. Are you wary of that?

Yeah. Are you kind of aware of that? Like this is your love and there's tension there with it? That could be on the horizon? Yeah, I feel like for me, it's like, you know, when I get sick of competing and I'm done on the floor and I leave my shoes on the floor, figuratively and literally, it's like, I still want,

like right now I plan on being a part of the space after, like I wanna, I wanna still be a coach, I plan on being a part of the space after like I want to I want to Still be a coach. I want to be an agent whatever it means Oh, you would be a great agent God. Oh, you're fun agent Oh my god, you're so good. Is that your dogs? No, not my dogs probably Caleb's. Oh gotcha. Cool. Nice, bro So so yeah, anyway, it's like man, like I just I wouldn't I wouldn't trade I wouldn't trade the relationships I have for a

title. I think that I'll be involved in the sport as long as I can be in any capacity. I just I just love what it is, man. And that's why I want to see it continue to grow in some way. The theme I see a lot from people not just games athletes, it continue to grow in some way. The theme I see a lot from people, not just games athletes, but just people who go hard in the gym is, man, I've been doing CrossFit for 15 years. It beat down my body and I'm leaving CrossFit. You know, I'm going to go to bodybuilding or I'm going to go to a different modality.

And what's interesting about that is like, I understand the desire to want to take a break from maybe CrossFit and doing other things, you know, getting to fly fishing or running or bodybuilding. But there's people like my mom that started at 69 and who are 82 now and have been doing CrossFit the whole time. And it's like, I never hear her say it's too hard on her body because she's getting it dosed perfectly, add an affiliate with her cohort. And it's just interesting and I wonder if at your age you see that because I mean on some level it's an addiction for

you, right? Yeah, I would say so. It used to be more of an addiction. Now it's like a fulfillment. I'd say like, I'd say addiction is where you cannot stop like you go through withdrawals You don't have it. They like fulfills me because it enhances my day And enhances my life, but I wouldn't say I'm like addicted anymore used to be for sure Can you see yourself doing a one workout a day three three on one off? One workout a day three days on one off. Oh like the rest of my life? Yeah, just like it's 60, it's 62. Like what's your dad's regimen like?

How old's your dad? He is nearly 60 and he just did like a sub six minute DT yesterday, so. So he's super fit. Oh my God, dude. He's super fit. It's an insane time for that workout. He competed at the games once, right?

Or a couple times? Three times, three times. So he really wants to beat my number. I'm at four now and he really wants to you know have more appearances than me. So he's going back for it again this year but I'm like dad I'm gonna keep going too so you're not gonna catch me now because I'm at four and he's at three. So yeah he's been he's been doing it since 2010 and he does three days on one day off, but he'll throw an extra rest day here and there

just because he doesn't feel like it, which is completely fine because he's been doing it for so long. But very much a big part of his life. He did an Ironman last year. It was a half, but he's doing it again this year with me and all my guys. And it's gonna be a fun June, man.

We're doing that thing. There's like 15 of us and counting now, they're doing Iron Man here in Coeur d'Alene. I spoke to you before you went to Rogue and you were in the fetal position on the couch. And your teeth were chattering. Although you presented well on the show, you were clearly fucked up. Yeah, I was cooked. How close did it get to you not going? Oh? So close like I was it was like it was like

4951 because I just knew I'd get there and I'd be okay to go, but I just wouldn't be myself And I didn't want Like it was just hard because like those I put a lot It wasn't the expectations people put on me after the games the expectations I put on myself. And I want to go when I don't go to a competition, I want to win. It's like a job, like I said, and I knew I wasn't gonna be able to win. There was no part of me that was like, you're gonna be able to win this

with pneumonia. And, and it just, it just really took a toll on me. Emotion was kind of like traveling there and knowing that. But then I like changed my mindset of like, just go compete because you love it, not because you're fixated on winning this time around. But like when I show up on the competition floor, it was about winning. Like I want to go win. And my training reflects that.

So yeah, it was very close to not going I'm still glad I went so glad I got the experience rogue was phenomenal And if I wouldn't have gone to I wouldn't have got these like World Fitness project points I wouldn't have got the the rogue points In their system, so it's like it's good. I went for future opportunities. That was kind of another thing driving me. Hey So what time was your flight? Do you remember? To Scotland?

Oh, that's great. Man, I think probably like 1 p.m. in our time here. So then it was like 9 p.m. their time. When you woke up that morning, did you know you were going or was it still touch and go? Oh, when I woke up that morning. Like the morning before. If your flight was at one. Oh no, I knew. I knew, if your flight was going, I knew I was going I knew like three days

before. Like I was just like, I, I have to go do this. It's, you know, all these things are once in a lifetime, you could say, oh, I'll get tomorrow roads. But like, what if? What if the like something really sucky happened and I didn't? So I'd be glad I went and had the one rather than missing out and not trying at least. Oh right right. Hey what about what about the flight so I was sick I got better I was like it was almost

completely better I got on a flight I went to Atlanta and when I the flight fucked me up and I got there and I was sick and did you get to Scotland and it set you back you know you were like oh shit my sickness is creeping back in. I felt I felt crummy just for like three, four days jet lag sickness, like I hadn't done like a hard training piece in like two weeks until I got there. And then I like did my first Metcon like two, three days before the competition. I was like, oh, I think I'm okay. Like I was able to breathe somewhat. I mean, the first week of pneumonia,

I would get on an eco bike for 60 seconds and just try to go at somewhat of a okay pace and I'd fall off like wheezing for like 10 minutes. Like it was wild. And like I'm the aerobic guy. So I was like, okay, I'm clearly freaked up. I cannot even try and train right now, I'd be stupid. I'm clearly freaked up. I cannot. I cannot even try and train right now. I'd be stupid.

Hey, when you go to these places, you give a lot of yourself physically, but you give a lot of yourself intellectually and emotionally. Do you ever get concerned about that? Like that you're just bleeding energy? Oh, man. You know, okay, here's the here's the reference for this one. So, So you have a set of matches, right? Let's say you have 25 matches in the case that you can burn, right? Every time you warm up is a match. Every time you compete is a match. Every time you have a big conversation at large with some media presence is a match. So if you want to save your matches for the final day, you have to be conservative in how much socializing, how much going out, how much having fun you're doing at these things, or else what happens is you get to the final day and you have no matches left. So yeah, I think I did a really

good job of this this year is like not burning my matches too early where I used to like, like let's just call it 2022. It was I wanted to catch up with everyone and know what everyone was doing at the competition itself and I'm like dude you can do that after like you're there to do a job so it's like stop burning your matches early. I did that way too much. It's an interesting balance right because I remember one year in Carson, Noah showed up to the games. I'm like, what's up?

You don't seem like yourself. And he said, oh, I'm going to try to conserve my energy and not be so outgoing. And then about then, you know, he did that, I think, on Thursday and Friday. And then Saturday, he was at his back to his normal self. I'm like, hey, what happened? You seem different again. He goes, that wasn't working for me. Like just like holding all that in and not being loving to everyone and not chatting

with everyone kind of fucked me It wasn't who I was and and I know that's who you are too. So it must be it must be kind of a crazy balance Yeah, it's a fine balance like like if I go out, you know and skip eating and uh cooling off From a workout to have a two-hour conversation with someone I haven't seen in a while. That's like being reckless with it to have a two hour conversation with someone I haven't seen in a while, that's like being reckless with it. Okay. Does it mean I can't be lovey and like give hugs and like say what up and like catch up for a sec? No, I still do that, of course.

But like, I want to, I always, I always want to have the people around me's best interests in mind and like, like be asking questions about what they're doing and stuff. But I just like, I agree with Noah where it feels off if I'm being and genuinely serious but like like there's also like a part of me that a lot of people don't see in the warm-up area where it's like I really lock in and I and I'm very serious about the task at hand and that's the side I'm like I want to show more of that like I show a lot of like the You know, I love having fun. I love goofing off. I love making stupid jokes

Whatever I show a lot of that side, but I'm like I want to show more of like that. No, I'm locked in I'm ready to hunt kind of side I'm figuring out a way to do that best on social media Did you are you signed with the world's fitness yet? Have you committed to that? No, there's a couple things holding me back. One is the dates not being announced. I know that they're trying to work around the game season, but like, you know, if they can't get the venues they want the right times, I don't know, it might interfere. So I'm just holding off a little bit longer till they get the objective information.

But the way I see it is it's gonna be a really cool second opportunity, but I will still very much be doing the game season. And yeah, I haven't signed mine yet. But you're excited too. It's just the dates and then you're ready to roll. Oh, totally, yeah. I know the the sucky part too is like one of my best friends Jackson He's he just got engaged and he'll be getting like married around like end of August and I'm like

Frick man, like I want to be in his wedding and be there for him But then it's like, okay I can't miss one of these world Fitness Project tours if they're that end. So like there's always decisions with competing of missing things and not being around for things, but that's that's just life, man. And the the Will Morad event that has two or three live. Three. The final is worth double the points. So meaning, you know, this year it might not be the craziest prize purse you've ever seen, but it's consistent. Yeah, yeah. With the

top dogs like Dubai's and stuff like that. So the thing about it is, is like, you know, it can grow a lot over the next few years and a lot of sponsors can get behind it and they put on a good show a few times. It's like, like it can be, it can be another cool thing. Just another cool avenue. Hey dude, if nothing else, you're, if you can use it as training also, if nothing else, it's time on the conch of competition floor with the best people. Um, I, I think it's interesting. I don't, I'm not even me personally., I mean as the viewer, I'm not concerned with the prize money. Yeah.

So do you have to go to all three of those if you sign? I don't think you have to, but the odds of you making it to the next year are diminished. Okay. Yeah. So you want to carry over your card. So in the next year, they're trying to do to do you know six total events where they're only taking your best two or three scores Okay, so you don't have to go to all of them next year, okay? Which is which is nice because then you're like okay? You got sick for one You can go do the next one not worry about losing your tour card But you keeping your tour cards important because then you keep your contracts and you keep your guaranteed minimums

And then it's stability. It's more stability than the game season which you know the game season of us never Stable NSA of like income stream you have to be you know winning or second or third every year Which is the podium ever guaranteed even when you're the best no But is it is it likely when you're the best? Yes. But is it guaranteed like this World Fitness Project? No. So yeah, the stability it adds is kind of nice as an athlete of like, oh, I can fall

back on that X number they offered me if things were to go horribly wrong, which is never not my way of thinking. Like, Dallin put it this way to me the other day It's like you know I'm not even looking at that guaranteed minimum number because I'm looking at winning these things and that if you win These things it's way above that guaranteed minimum number on So it's like like you can kind of take that guaranteed minimum number with a grain of salt if you're playing on crushing those competitions Okay, let's take the games just out of the picture for these three reasons.

It gets the most eyeballs, you probably have obligations with your sponsors, and it's the most prestigious. So let's just take it out. Let's just say everyone is gonna do the games for those reasons, right? Brands, most eyeballs, most prestigious, it's what you're training for.

So it's like, it's the Olympics of CrossFit. Yeah. How many other, so then there's all these other events out there. You could go to crash and you could win $30,000. Um, and, and there's good media. You could go to Wadapalooza and you could win a hundred thousand dollars and there's good media and there's, and there's also a lot of good competition and a good event.

Then there's, you know, Madrid and there's all these ones. How many can you do in a year besides the games? There's also a lot of good competition and a good event then there's you know Madrid and there's all these ones how many Can you do in a year besides the games if the games is a given and then of course fuck there's rogue, right? Yeah, so it's rogue a given to does everyone just are the rogue in the games. Can I throw rogue in there? It's like a must do also Okay, so you have games and rogue and And then how many more, I mean, two a year, I keep hearing that people want more competitions. Two a year seems like a lot

for someone who's at your level. No? Yes? Okay. So I counted this up because I want to do some reflecting on the season and I'm putting out a cool YouTube video about like my experiences through the season, how I got to where I am today. But like I did eight live showcases slash competitions in eight different areas

last year so like I traveled and you did no reps two or three times no reps reps head yeah did a lot of no reps this year. Sorry not no reps. How many times did you do that? I did the reps ahead. I did five pro showcases. Four of them in 2024. So four games in Rogue. That's six right there. Yeah, and then I did Waza. And then I also did... Hey, I'll give you two for the games because you got to do semi-finals too. Yeah, semi-finals was... So that's seven. And you did W Waza that's eight. Yeah that was my

competition year. This year I planned it out in my head and this isn't including like the high rocks I'm traveling for or the Ironman that I'm gonna do in June but I will be doing, if I do the World Fitness Project that's three extra and then not even considering like me potentially doing a in-person Sanctional I'll be doing eight Eight showcases and that's not that's not even considering the reps ahead to if I do the reps ahead, you know It'll be eight nine ten But that being said it's like Everyone's kind of having that mentality of I think I want to compete more. I think I want to compete more. Okay. And that's a common general consensus I'm hearing from a lot of people.

But that being said too, the more you compete the less you train. So it's like, well, you know, if you're trading off competing and taking a bunch of thirds and a bunch of fourths and a bunch of fifths, is that better in your mind than training for one competition and taking first? Because you know that first place is going to be a lot bigger purse usually, but are you getting as much experience and as much competing? No. Are you taking first place? Yes.

I believe the guy who competes the least is probably going to take first more. But do I still believe I can take first while competing that much? Yeah, heck yeah. Do I also believe the programming does matter a little bit for me to win? Yeah, yeah. I'm not an idiot. I think the games was designed perfectly for me to win that thing. But, you know, I'm trying to close the gap in my strength. So it doesn't have to be that way. And I'm getting better at it. But yeah, back to your question, dude, I think the younger you are, the more you

can compete and the more wise you are with how you travel, how you treat your body at these competitions, how you recover from them, the more you can do. Are you, are you cleanest? Are you just clean ish is all get out. Dude, like, like roid wise? No like no well that that too but like when's the last time you smoked weed? Uh like a bong rip this morning. I did I did one this morning indeed uh it it was uh it was okay end of 2020. Okay. So no we when's the last time you smoked a cigarette Never smoked a cigarette. Okay, so no smoking. When's the last time you had alcohol? Oh To purely get drunk

I mean I'll take steps with my wife at like a restaurant Sometimes but like not like not like off of her drink off of her yeah yeah yeah like like if we're objectively saying like i mean my my uh bachelor weekend i did have some fun with my guys um but but it's but if i went to your fridge now is there is there is there a six pack of Budweiser in there too no way no and and what about um uh a sloppy eating what do And what about sloppy eating? Do you do any sloppy eating? That's the downfall, bro.

That's the downfall of me, of Sprague is the nighttime munchies. You have Ben and Jerry's in the freezer? You have Ben and Jerry's in the freezer? No, no, it's not even unhealthy things. It's just like, it could be skinny pop. It could be too much fruit right before bed, just like wanting to binge while watching a movie before bed. Like a bucket of grapes, like you'll just eat a bucket

of grapes while you're watching it. Yeah, like, and you know how much of a thing a carton of grapes has? Exactly. A carton of grapes will have like, you know, somewhere between like 200 and 300 carbs, you eat the whole thing. And I'm like, I don't need that before bed.

All right, I'm giving you a pass. Yeah, that doesn't count. That's not Like 200 grams of sugar from a Ben and Jerry's Okay, so your shits tight And you're sure I'm pretty tight and you and you still like to be tighter even We you could say so. Yeah, you don't want to be all blown out like Taylor sells, but no, dude Yeah, I need to do a kill Taylor. I realized I still haven't done one. Dude, this uh, Two grand tomorrow. Tomorrow is gonna be two grand.

Tomorrow two grand. What time? Probably 8 a.m. I'm guessing. 8 a.m. Oh gosh. So early, bro. What time do you get up? What time do you get up? You know, usually right now. Is time do you get up? What time do you get up? You know, usually right now. Is your wife asleep right now? No, she was at, she's at the gym grinding bro. She's better than me. Yeah, she's better than me. She goes to work all day. She's a pharmacist. So she's, she's on the clock to someone else's will while I can just go to the gym for my,

you know, five, six, seven seven hours a day whenever I want. All right I love all this James so I want to go back to so if people want if people are in Washington they can come and train with you and Troy from January 7th to April 3rd and it's 4 to 5 15. Yes correct. Oh for kids it's for kids 12 to 18. 12 to 18 yeah it's it's for kids. It's for kids 12 to 18. 12 to 18, yeah. It's next gen. So that's why I call it next gen.

It's like, I started this company eight years ago with the mindset of helping the next generation train smarter, move better, live longer. You know, like I said- How much is that? How much is that? I think it's five or 600 for the entire thing. So it comes out to- How many days a week? One day a week, two days a week, um, three days during

the open, we're taking them through the open, they're competing in the open too. So we're, we're getting these, we're getting these kids like, like we want them to like fall in love with the sport of CrossFit. It's not, it's not, um, you know, to just make them fitter. It's like, we're going to CrossFit team. You can see it right there. It's like, we want to be a CrossFit team that's helping kids, you know, understand what CrossFit is, how to do it right, how to teach it to someone else, and how to compete in it.

Hey, what if my kid is just a soccer player and he has no CrossFit experience but I want to bring him to this? Can he come to this? Hell yeah. He doesn't know. He can just come. Any kids can come 12 to 18. My parameter is they have to want to be there. I hate coaching kids that are forced to be there. Right. It's obvious they're, they're not having fun. They don't put in effort. They're not getting anything out of it.

Like sure. I might make them sweat a little bit and like they might be pushed outside of the comfort zone, but they hate it. And like, like that's not fun for me as a coach. I want them to love it. And I try and be passionate. So they love it. Um, and I am just passionate about helping them but when they sit there like I don't

want to do that I'm like okay well then get out are you gonna be at all the sessions oh yeah yeah besides when I'm gone for Waza Troy will be helping I'll be gone for three out of 28 of them I I did the math. Oh listen, parents, you morons. And you brilliant ones. That's $20 a session for your kid to spend time with James Frigg. That's crazy dude. That's awesome. That's crazy dude. 25. Hey I spend, my kids, I spend $30, they do a CrossFit kids class with a private coach here in town. All three of them, I take them to the class. It's one hour long. It's 90 bucks just for the one class.

Yeah. Personal training too is not cheap. You want your kid to really get immersed and learn the sports or learn movements really efficiently. Personal training is the way to go but like like we we are gonna do you know the level of personal training that they would get individually like we're gonna put intention into each kid and we have a cap on it I think it's I think it's 20

or 30 we have 30 we're getting another coach in there another guy because we want each kid to feel like they're getting like specific attention right you're not just left behind but yeah if you're like if you're hearing this and you're not and you're not in our area and you like have a kid or know some youth that like could really use some help and like diving deeper into their sport and training for their sport, whether it's CrossFit, whatever it is, like I'd love to help man. I'll even put my email up here. It's Spragueer with four R's as you see on my Instagram name at gmail.com. Shoot me a message. Yeah, that's awesome, dude. What a great thing you're doing. Hey, last thing. We're not done yet, bro. You always kick me off in 45 minutes. Makes me sad.

I have this group of friends, and I didn't think about it until the other day, but I hang out with them every day. It's like, you know, it's like these 13 guys and I was thinking about them and they're like the cleanest dudes like I've ever hung out with. Like they're like half of them are just crazy hardcore Bible beaters. There's crazy loyal to their wives. They love kids.

None of them have drinking or smoking as a hobby. And it's funny, because I'm not friends with these guys because of that. None of them are liars. They're trustworthy. They're patient. They have a great sense of humor. Very difficult to offend them.

And it's it's probably like one of the greatest blessings I've had in my life. But I didn't realize it until like more recently when I took inventory of them. Is it like that? How do you how do you choose your friends? I mean, I chose them because we all like the same thing. We all like making media and we all like CrossFit. But do you know how your friends got involved in your life? And then and then do you do you find those characteristics important too? Yeah, I mean, it comes down to like, I'm easily influenced. I think a lot of us are. So it's

like I want to put my, I want to put myself around guys I want to be like. So if you want to be a smoker and a drinker, go hang out with smokers and drinkers. Awesome. Like, I don't, I don't mind that. I don't think you're gonna benefit yourself or your life or enhance your life that way. But like- Or a guy who's chasing women while he's married. Yeah, like you don't wanna be around people that you don't wanna be like.

So I strive to be someone like that people would wanna be like, right? So it's like, then I you know like my people like okay I want to learn from this guy. I want to learn from you And then I look for the same like the the bros I have in my life I look up to each of them in different ways for different reasons and And that's that's why I hang around them is the power of influence Yeah, that's a really good. That's a really good point. We're all easily influenced. We mirror each other to hang out with those people.

Heidi says, Sevan's never been around men who are loyal to their wives. Yeah, the truth is I've never been around so many men who are loyal to their spouses. I mean, that's not the only thing. But it really is important who you hang out with. She was trying to roast you bro, she's saying your circle's bad. Oh. No, that's how you spin the question. Oh, my circle's good now. Yeah, good.

Yeah, I'm used to dirty dudes. Yeah, I mean they were great guys. I mean, fuck, they were fucking great. I mean, they were the kind of guys who would be hung over and bring the pickup truck and help you move. But, but they were hung over and they were probably didn't sleep at their house the night before. Totally, totally. Yeah, man. It's not that I don't it's not that I don't want to be friends with those people. I can be friends with those people. But I

it's just really nice when you're with a peer group that's like on the straight and narrow. group that's like on the straight and narrow? Totally. Yeah, I mean for me it's like, like there was there was a time where I did not hang around guys that were good for me. Um, eighth, ninth, tenth grade, I totally associated with like the stoner druggy group and and that just wasn't, I didn't feel fulfilled from that. I didn't feel like I was improving my character. I didn't feel like I was like having the reach I wanted. Um, with my craft, I didn't feel like I was improving my character. I didn't feel like I was like having the reach I wanted with my craft. I didn't feel like I was doing as well at school.

It just was so powerful to change that environment. And I still love those guys. I think they're nice dudes and I'll always love them and cherish them. But for my own growth, I need to move on from that group. Yeah. Did it just happen naturally or did you have to break away? I had to say no to a lot more things with them to protect myself. Just in order to grow into the man I wanted to be. So it was natural because I knew what I wanted and I knew what they were doing wasn't what I wanted. So it's like a comparison.

Like people are like, oh, you're the some of the five people you hang out with. And like, I think there's a truth to that. But obviously, it doesn't just wear off because or wear on to my proximity. I think you're always looking like, okay, well, I'm not quite as good as them. They're my group. But like, I'm still better than so and so in the group. And when you have a downward pull, meaning like they're all into drugs or they don't have really any purpose, they're just drifting through life.

Like you just compare yourself to them. But if you if you were to start hanging out with people that had a shit ton of money and billionaires and millionaires and all these other things. And the cool part about is with the Internet, you don't even need to necessarily have proximity to them because you can just watch them on the Internet. And so I really just think it's about you value yourself based on the comparison. Right. Totally. Totally. I also think you're on good people. True that. I also have found a lot of like value and knowledge and just like reading books from like really strong men.

Like I'm reading Jaco's book right now. And it's just like, like about extreme ownership and just taking ownership over your life and so many different areas in your business and your relationships and in your field and this guy's like an ex you know Navy Seal and and just his mindset and these things it's just really cool to apply to your life so like if you're not reading books about strong men who have questioned in fields maybe that you want to crush it in it's like you're missing out there too and that's's it. That's it. I have like have like good reads often I believe it's important. Yeah, James. Have you heard a book called the trillion dollar coach? No, pretty good one. I think you would like that over the

Jocko books. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. Are you like a John Maxwell guy? You read like a lot of John Maxwell? No I'm just I'm reading man. I need, man. I need, I need recs. You're, you're, you're the, you're the dude. You're the religious guy. You don't do John Maxwell. You're going to love some Maxwell stuff, man. I've leveled leadership, 15, uh, invaluable principles of self growth. Ooh. Uh, I need to look into all of these.

I totally love it. Steven, I need to show you something real quick. Hold on. How do I flip my camera? Can I do that? Yeah, you should be able to do that. You got to like settings. That's upstream yard. Yeah. Wow Yeah that book. It's the no pullout couch That's what you called it one day bro That's disgusting I'm a horrible person.

Wow. I'm not even saying that out of my own mouth. Everyone just came up to me like they called us but no Paul. I was like of course he did. That's amazing. Hey that's what the Sub-On Podcast listeners bought you? Yeah bro. That's crazy. I never got to tell you thank you man to man so thank you so much for that. I know I got to text you and stuff but. Yeah thank these dudes. That meant a lot to us. Yeah these knuckleheads like Heidi probably didn't feed her daughter for a night to fucking donate to that. Heidi you can come sit on our couch anytime. It's no pullout couch Heidi. Careful. It's a great couch. We watch good movies. We've had a ton of friends on it already. I don't really understand that couch. How are you supposed to sit, you don't ever sit on it. It's only a laying couch? You can move it around, kind of like this one. Like see how it's like, you can kind of move the squares around. So you can make it however you want. Okay.

If you want to design it as like an L-shape, do it. If you want to make it like a sofa for like movies, do it. That's kind of how we made it. Wow. So you could push it out a little bit and use one of those cushions as a table to play poker on or something. Oh, hell yeah. Yeah, buddy. We got a good table for games right there too.

We just moved in like, we've been in here for a month now. So it's finally feeling like home because we're done setting things up. Like this thing, fireplace, bro bro took me four hours to build oh my god that's like a fish tank and a fireplace in one what is that does that thing give off heat it's a little wayfarer gimmick thing that i got just to put on a tv but it contains the flames and stuff too kind of cute yeah who designed the house who does the furniture in charge all that? The furniture and like that stuff? She actually let me do a lot of that.

Wow. But she's definitely in charge of like the small things. She's not home as much. So like I've naturally got to have a little more say in it. Because she's at work a lot. But like she definitely works really hard. At home. So she's like the boss.

She's like the boss. She's like the boss. So like I've naturally got to have a little more say in it because she's at work a lot. But like she definitely she definitely works really hard at you know getting stuff done for us too. How close is your dad to you? Like like minutes wise from the house. Yeah. About 18. Oh is that too far? No he could I see him at the gym every day. Basically I go over to his house at nights to my other session like see each other all the time

You go to your dad's house Regularly at night to train there. Oh, yeah, and he got a sauna and and it's just a real It's like a nostalgic house for me. It's cuz like I lived there for the last year and I just loved the area So, you know, he's also building a gym right now and opening a gym here very soon so He'll be he'll be busy with that, so I'm sure he won't be at my gym as much So I'll try and go to his gym a little bit, too. Hey um uh Your dad must be the happiest man in the world That's like there's nothing he's probably got that sauna in getting all that stuff

So you will come there and and train exactly what would do. I would bait this shit out of my kid. I'm so happy. I'm not even mad if I baited. I would be there anyway. No, you shouldn't be. That's crazy. No, it's cool. What does he do when you're training? Does he come out there and sit out there and watch you? Sometimes, yeah. He'll be there just and stay after his training to watch me and support

me and stuff. But he's a very short gym goer. He'll be in there for an hour and a half, maybe two hours, which is not short is like the normal term short to me. Like short to me is an hour and a half session. Like I'm on my D-load right now and I'm doing an hour and a half, two hours in the gym and it's like, oh, it's so nice, dude. Hey, you're really going gonna reflect back on that as soon as you have a kid like the second you have a kid you're gonna be like oh shit that's what my dad's

doing genius because there's nothing there's nothing I mean that that's like one of the things you don't even know about when you have kids you're one of your plans is like how can I stay close to this little guy fucking for as long as I can and the fact you go over to him dude you don't even know about when you have kids, your one of your plans is like, how can I stay close to this little guy fucking for as long as I can? And the fact you go over to him, dude, you don't even know what you're giving him. Like it's crazy by going to his house. It's mutually beneficial. Totally. I know. I'm just saying I, if, if I can, if I can have my kids come to my house two or three nights a week, uh,

for the rest of my life, that that's a, that would be insane because it's what you, it's what you, it's your dad grew you, right? And so now he gets to, he gets to, you know, now he's just bearing the fruit from what he grew. By just getting to enjoy you. Totally, totally makes sense. Yeah. And he, he's done a great job of like being immersed in what I'm doing too. And like showing me support and that's like, I want to support him anyway I can too Yeah, but he like I'll be able to help him set his gym up and you know

Whatever I can do but he's been pretty easy because he just he works a few hours and hangs out watch sports He goes on vacation. So You know, he's pretty easy to support. Don't worry about supporting him pet. We're like dorm us parents We don't even care if we're dormats you can trample all the fuck over us We're like dorm, us parents, we don't even care if we're dormats. You can trample all the fuck over us. You're funny, dude. We're so happy to get trampled on. Eat our food, leave our dishes out.

Do you eat them out of the house? Do you go over there and open the fridge and go crazy? Sometimes. I have a lot of my... Do that to him too. Parents love that. Yeah, just go over there and eat all his shit. He'll love that.

We're crazy as parents. Yeah. Yeah, dude. He always and eat all this shit. He'll love that. We're crazy as parents. Yeah. Yeah, dude. I'm, he always opens his door to us and I will do, he'll let me bring all my friends over to his house too because it's a great place to host. So of course, of course.

Take the guesswork out of nutrition with TRUENUTRITION. God, you're dead lush. Genius. Hey, what is the go-to meal? What are you eating?

Is there something you eat every day? Are you eating like, do you have one steak every day? Or is there some foundational meal every day that goes in James Bragg? Spaghetti and meatballs. Do you say, do you say spragetti? Spragetti. Oh, what is that?

Is that a proprietary blend? It's launching Jan 1st from Ice Age Meals. No shit, no shit. It's wanting Jan first from ice age meals. No, really? Oh, yeah. And and and and we are wanting just the balls to see don't have the spaghetti. Just just the ball. Is that what it's called? Just the ball? Yeah. Oh, yeah. And I got a I got this real I'm posting where it's me just saying balls a bunch of times. And that's how I'm gonna launch it. It's never been more advertising to just have the balls launched.

I'm in. Dude, one container of my balls is 96 grams of protein. Wow. Wow. Is that line in the promo? Yes. One dose of my balls is 96 grams of protein. I don't even think you could like take it

Simone. I don't think you could finish. Oh man. There's to say I'm up for the challenge. I'm very embarrassed to say I'm up for the challenge. It's 12 meatballs while the regular ones come with six meatballs. So the regular packages are like we have sweet potatoes, we have the spaghetti, we have it over rice. So like there's three different carb options. And then there's like just the balls one with double the proteins if you're a carnivore. But real talk though, I don't eat just the balls every day. I eat eggs with sourdough is kind of my staple in the morning. Then for lunch, I'll have like beef and rice. And then for dinner, I'll have an ice age meal, or I'll go out with my wife every once in a while and

we'll go get food, but that's kind of my like staple diet, and then I'll have a ton of carbs in the gym, and then obviously a pack of grapes at night. Yeah, carton, kabobs. Hey, I didn't even know, I had forgotten about Ice Age meals. I thought for some reason, I thought that that, what's the guy's name? Nick Massey? Nick, yeah bro, it's gone nowhere. nowhere it's just we went through a little tough phase back in 2020 2021 and they relaunched everything and have been crushing it. I was just at their kitchen less than a month ago and bro we had the time of our lives like he's a high energy cool person I could definitely see you getting along with him. He's a force of positivity.

Totally. He really is, man. He's so positive. And he's one of those guys I want to associate myself with because he's just got a strong faith. He treats people well. He's so humble about what he has. I went to his house and it was just a gorgeous house, but I never know he's had it because

he doesn't flex that. And I'm just like, that's the kind of man I want to be. Where's he live? He lives in near like Tahoe, Reno. Reno. Okay that's what I thought Reno. Did he used to go by Paleo Nick back in the day? Paleo Nick. Still have him. Oh no shit. He like worked for Cross It. That was his name. Yeah I remember that. Yeah I remember okay. That's where I met him. We must have made some videos with him and I just remember him being just I'm like holy shit this guy's so positive Dude, yeah, he's the man bro. He's make all that food at the games too, right? He was a member there Oh my gosh his cooking way back when and same

Yeah, one of my on the right see those ice creams those are for my wedding. Oh My oh, that's so dangerous, dude, dude. Yeah, he made all these for my he made like 150 for my wedding. Yeah One of my coaches used to Volunteer and cook with them and they became buddies. Oh Yeah, that's how I got introduced to paleo Nick like this is probably like 2013 2014 ancestral world we live in hey Any fun doors open since you won the games Like if you thrown a baseball out at a WNBA game or anything like that. Oh, yeah

literally game anything triple a game You know put a put a ball on the tee for the kids I wouldn't say anything crazy. Um, you know, I do have a really cool partnership I'm announcing in January, I got to launch this meal with ice age meals. Um, and I mean, man, I just like, I feel blessed that I was able to buy a house like the games money and get a new car and help pay off a little bit of my wife's loans. Like those are all really cool things we were able to do because of the games happening.

And so I guess those opportunities to me are like really, really cool. But like the ones you're talking about, like getting invited to do crazy funny things like that or once in a lifetime, not yet, but I'm sure like, I'm sure I'll get those over the years of the next ten years or something like that I'd be that'd be really fun Who when you buy the house who does the adult stuff you or your wife? Like all the paying and the finance like the paperwork and like talking to the guy and getting shit notarized and like you know Just like you do all that yeah, mean, her dad's also super helpful. He knew a lot about like buying a home for the first time was able to like help us a little bit and stuff. And he, he's such a

handy man. He was able to help us like set a bunch of things up that I didn't know how to do. Like he like took out this vent. Uh, it took out the whole venting system under, um, over our oven and then installed this thick microwave. And I just wouldn't know how to do all that like yet. So I'm like, and he's just, he's like an airplane mechanic. So he knows a lot of handy stuff. That's crazy. My wife did all the adult stuff. I just like, I just walk around and be like,

I like that house. She's like, okay. Yeah, that's nice. And then she has to clock. Honestly, it's not that hard. You just gotta like, you just gotta understand like what you're signing up for how much money you want to do She had to sign a stack of papers that was like this that took her like probably an hour Ours was like 15 minutes at most and she sat at this table. I remember I went outside. Yeah

James you guys you guys Dave Ramsey fans Dave Ramsey, I've heard of him again I okay you and your wife fuck all the other books that I told you stop reading the book that you're reading now Just take the jockel and throw it out the window and go buy go buy the Dave Ramsey book fault Like you and your wife do it follow the plan there become that super financially literate to that way You never have to worry about the number one cause of divorce Okay, I like that. Oh, yeah, my mom was a divorce attorney and she told me 50% of the divorces were because of finances.

What were you saying Caleb? Total money makeovers, that's the one you're talking about? Yeah, that's it. That's it. Okay. Oh my gosh. This is crazy. I love reading these comments sometimes.

You guys such a strong squad. Sorry, I know I'm laying down. I know you're laying on top of me, but you're just going to have my favorite. So no plug for a reason. I mean, everybody in the comments who's saying Ramsey is a waste is probably fucking broke. Please get together. Let's let's let's look at your shit. Like everybody gets on Dave Ramsey because he's super anti debt, James.

So like, don't you know, don't let him get into into he would cringe at the fact that I heard you say you trade crypto when I was driving over here, which made me shudder a little bit. But the thing is, is that most people don't fucking have any idea what to do with their money. Most people don't know that it's just an allocation of where you want to go and what you want to do. And if you consider to link yourself to debt, you know this because of the scriptures that you become a slave to the lender. Totally. Totally. Yeah, that's true. And I also think the crypto thing I'll play devil's advocate. It's like, like, we've never seen a pro crypto government or president yet. So so like, like, I understand where you're coming from. Like, oh, I just don't know if

that has a time or a place or if that's ever going to have any value. But like, if you're looking into deeply of like what our office that's coming in is going to be doing, I believe there's actually some time, time and a place for it. But, but that's just my belief and you don't have to share it. I know I do. I do share with you. I do share with you, but I want to see a fully funded Roth IRA. I want to see a SEP. I want to see you in Indian ones. I want to see that mortgage being aggressively paid down. I want to see you and

your wife have a six months emergency fund, then go play in the crypto. Totally. That makes sense. So don't be all in. Sorry, James. Sorry, James. Sorry, James. I didn't know I was going to bring your dad on the show. I love James. I love James. I don't. Man talk. Bring it on, bro. Listen, listen, and I gotta tell you, I take all my advices from Sousa and I don't have any debt. You know what's crazy is I did that. I got a 15-year loan on my house and I paid my mortgage twice a month and the day I got fired from CrossFit, I paid off my, the same day ironically, I paid off one of my homes and my car because I always paid them off so aggressively and everyone thought it was stupid because my interest rates were so low

but dude there's, it's so nice not having any debt. It's crazy. I can't even imagine having debt. And I run my whole businesses like that and people all the time are like oh Why don't you do this or you could finance this or you could do this and I'm like why? Why do you know who else runs on you know who else runs on no debt? Bill Henniger and Katie Modder I don't know this for a fact But I'm 99% sure when they when they bought all that land in Columbus and built that 600,000 square foot place. And that thing probably

cost $100 million to build. The word on the street is that Katie and Bill live very frugally. And they bought that fucking thing cash. They paid all cash that they have no debt. And you know what? I look how fucking filthy rich they are. I won't go into detail about it. But I got to spend a little time with Bill. And he told me a story about that. Yeah. And 800 employees, no debt or 1100 employees, what they have. Yeah. Yeah. And you could go check out links and YouTube channel because apparently he has so much great financial advice.

So he has to come and stop listening. What? I don't know. Those fucking people listen to this. Please stop giving financial advice. Oh, God. Yeah, exactly. Oh, Link, let's find out. Let's see your situation, brother.

Let's check out your balance sheet. See how healthy that is. Accounts were... I made significantly more in one year than Link will ever make in his whole life, and I have a Roth IRA. Just so you know. This guy says Advisor we've been talking about this stuff. Oh, yeah. Look this fucking idiot things. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There you go

That's all you need to see is that comment right there? What is a just James has too much income to have a Roth IRA dude Peter feels got like a billion dollars in his rod What the fuck are you talking about? Come on. I like this talk. Yeah. Let's give Susan fashion advice. Is that is that good for the shirtless dude? Yeah. Get out of here. Oh, Jake Chapman.

Dude, I've worn the same shit for the past 11 years. Hey, that's that's safe. That's being debt free, not having to be a debt to. Dude, I have the same underwear. I've had the same underwear a stockpile of underwear for 15 years Well, you know you get it all your probably all your clothes for free. It's the greatest fucking money saver of all time Yeah food the food is honestly even better than that because I if I if I'm buying all my own food all the time I'm I'm You know close to a grand a month on my own with how much I eat and how much quality I like to eat.

The meals help a lot. That's how much your food is, $1,000 a month? If I'm eating how I want to be eating, yeah. That's how much I spend on my dog, dude, a month. About $30 to $ bucks a day in food. I mean you eat a ton of eggs, eat a ton of good beef, eat really quality fruits. You know those things can add up real quick. But I gotta go make breakfast for me and my wife. Alright, you're the man.

You're the man. Alright, love you buddy. Thank you. Tell your wife thank you. Tell your dad I said hi. And thanks for coming on dude. Always great having you. Dude. Of course. Thank you so much for having me bro. Ciao How does he live on a thousand dollars a month for food he doesn't probably doesn't know Hot people you ask and they're like, I don't know a

Rib eye in town is from the butchers. Twenty seven ninety nine. Does this cross the game champ sign to compete in the WFP? Seventy five percent. Survey says. God, he's fucking so cool. Yeah. If you don't have a swimming pool, you're not filthy rich. Now, let me get you.

Yeah. But but don't be stupid. If you have a god, you know, I think I'm done talking. I think I'm done responding to any YouTube comments anymore. Ever again. Yeah, people are pretty fucking dumb. It is crazy because I could say if you don't have a swimming pool, you're not filthy rich then people would be like well that guy's a swimming pool and he's filthy he's not filthy rich i'm like i never said if you have a pool you're filthy rich yeah i mean i can give out can't even fucking distinguish the difference in the two statements i'm like what the fuck is going on everybody's the like there is like a one-upper they're just like pissed off you can't even give basic financial advice without having people come in like, well, technically. Yeah. Okay. Whatever, bro.

If you have, if you have kids and you don't have a swimming pool, you are not filthy rich. That's a, that's 99% true. Hey, wait a minute. Can I ask you a question about that then? Is there a loophole? No. Oh, you sure? Why are you talking about Greg?

No, I'm talking about the pool I used to have as a kid. It was an above-ground doughboy Well, that's what I mean. That's what I mean. That's what I mean. Just because just that's what I'm saying Just because you have a pool. Yeah Doesn't mean you're filthy rich. You could have a pool and be dirt poor That was us. Yeah, yeah, you could have you could have 30 pools and be dirt poor, but you're not filthy rich if you don't have a pool. So if someone tells you they're filthy rich, ask to see their pool.

And if they don't have one, they're lying. But there's an important distinction between the opposite, right? Like I told someone the other... This is what pushed me over the top with YouTube. I told someone, someone was upset because Greg didn't know Lazar's name. And I was like, dude, you're a fucking idiot if you think it's important to fucking, if it's disrespectful if someone doesn't know someone's name. And they go, that's why you'll never be successful because it's really important to know people's

names. I agree with you. That's not what I'm saying. That's not, I'm not, I'm not. But you'll also be a fucking loser and you'll be miserable your whole life if you're offended when someone doesn't know your name. Yeah. Very important to know people's names. But when you project that onto other people instead of just projecting it onto yourself,

you're now a fucking victim. You're a loser. A huge distinction. I like to even be proactive about it. Hi, I'm Matt. Yeah. Matt, good to see you again, Sevan. Yeah.

Right? Just fucking kill it for him. Oh, and let me tell you something. If I catch you saying my name because you're trying to play that fucking game with me, I fucking hate you. And if I haven't seen you... So the vet came to my house the other day and he's like, Hi Sevan, and I didn't know his name. I hadn't seen him in two years. And I just think you're a fucking asshole because you have my fucking name on your fucking thing. And you didn't tell me your fucking

name. Yeah, that's why you gotta be proactive. Yeah. This guy wrote this guy wrote in the comment he goes, he basically wrote, that's why you'll never be successful because I read the book on 48 ways to be successful. And it says that you have to know people's names and the comment went on. It's like how to make friends and influence people or some shit. And then he goes on to say, and that's why you'll never be successful and your podcast sucks. I'm just like, Jesus Christ, I'm done communicating with idiots. Dude, I'm like, and you're the one here taking the time out of your day to listen to the

show that I have. No one knows who the fuck you are to leave this comment about how I'm like, and you're the one here taking the time out of your day to listen to the show that I have. No one knows who the fuck you are to leave this comment about how I'm going to be successful or not said no successful person ever. Of course, I want to communicate with people. But if I'm if we can afford if we can, if you're not even fucking logical if you can't communicate if it's always two plus two is Five, I mean, I don't know how far back I can walk you Half the time to people's like interject or say something like that and you stop and you're like, what's your objective? They don't know they're just speaking. Oh, what's their objective of what they're saying?

Like yeah, like what's the point like what are you trying to accomplish? Right? So if you say like hey, we walked outside and my two boys ran in from the left I'm like no they ran in from the right and You're like, okay, like what the cool just you know what I mean? So like there's certain people that are interject things like that. That might have been a bad example But it's like they interject just women in general. Okay, I was My kids my kids do that too like, my kids do that too. Yeah.

My kids do that too. I'll be like, so we went down to the beach the other day and we went to Zelda's and I got the steak and this fucking bird flew over my head and shit.

So what my wife did is we stopped feeding the dog raw dehydrated food and we've

for the last six days, we've just been feeding it raw food. I I mean it was crazy. I was really going to put my dog down. It basically hadn't moved in two days except to go outside and go to the bathroom and for the last five days we've switched to just like raw meat and Fembendazole and the dog is like it's like it's not even the same fucking dog. The all the bumps have gone down probably 80% yeah the dogs completely fucking normal when you go inside you won't even believe it its head is still a little deformed on one side a little edema but the fembendazole is like a fucking miracle it's like it's curing its cancer it's fucking I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it now granted maybe the dog will die tomorrow

Yeah crazy right I wouldn't call these YouTube comments by the way

But anyway, I'm gonna see on my couch since Tuesday. Yeah, that's right. Okay. I'm gonna give it to you I'm gonna give you that goal bastard. That's kind of crazy though. What do you think about that? It's crazy like Cole's right like they like you kind of threw it in there and like I don't know which one helped Yeah, it sounds like Olivia did based off her like following back up. But like yeah, yeah multitasking, yeah One dick in one hand hand on the keyboard don't underestimate him. All right. Yeah, it's a it's It's crazy. Yeah, just basically came on here and hey, you know, and of course when we had the vet come to the house He's like hey don't want your dog will be dead anything like just call me. I'll put it down and like I was in that space

Yeah, I remember what we can I don't want to count my chickens before they're hatched or eggs before they're boiled or whatever the fuck that statement is, but... It's nuts. Fembendazole. And then so yesterday my wife did a consult with a vet in Australia. He's like some like... And he's like, holy shit, like he was blown away. Wow. He's like, very smart of you guys to try that. Very smart of the YouTube comments. Oh, you use FarmersDog? That's the kind of fem YouTube comments. Oh you use farmers dog that's the kind of

So then the next day, I'm outside breaking up cardboard boxes and I rip open this cardboard box and there's huge chunks of dry ice still in there. open this cardboard box and there's huge junk chunks of dry ice still in there. I'm like my fucking wife grabbed fucking dry ice. Oh my God.

If you haven't done that, you ain't living. Okay. Toronto got a new mayor. I'd like to introduce you to fucking genius. This guy's so smart. Here we go My name is Ben Bankus and I'm running for mayor of Toronto as mayor of Toronto I will make the viewing and enjoyment of male sports illegal. We will be replacing our Raptors with two WNBA teams the Toronto OnlyFans and the Scarborough six-buzz This is coming days after the Toronto Raptors posted an insensitive offensive video where

they claimed that women give birth. The girls were on the word because they only wanted that camp for free. As we now know, this is not true. In addition to Scotiabank Arena, all bars and restaurants in the City of Toronto will be barred from showing any sports that have men in them unless those men happen to be trans. Who's hungry? Vote Ben Dank is for mayor of Toronto. All the other candidates are racist. No Kathleen this is not a parody.

Oh, no Kathleen. This is not a parody. I Would say if anything if anything I'll give you this it's a remake of a real commercial Yeah, dude. The bib was so perfect Holy shit dude the hole in the mask is fucking gold. Hey, it's the only way to do it, man. How are people supposed to hear you? How are you supposed to drink and eat? Yeah. I could finally be a pro athlete. Fuck, that's awesome.

It's not. That's what's crazy. It's not even like, I don't know if you can say it's parody. It's it's it's a reenactment. It's a fucking. It's crazy that it could be parody and not even just something just completely off the wall. You watch that like 20 years ago, you'd be like, what the fuck? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But parody would mean that let me look up the exact definition of parody. Parody means just completely there. Oh, but but parody would mean that let me look up the exact definition of paired parody means just completely there Parity means, you know A form of humor that spoofs or satirizes something using the same form, but it's not but it's not satirizing it That's what's crazy. Yeah Satire Yeah Satire

The use of humor and irony or exaggeration You don't even have to do that anymore because it's so fucking retarded what they fucking say and do it's just real life at this point Yeah, no exaggeration. No hyperbole. No. Yeah, the Toronto only fans Yeah It is weird that it's hard to tell the difference if it was or if it wasn't. The fact that Kathleen even wrote the thing like, is this parody? It's like, that's how weird shit is, right? Yes. Because it's only like one level removed from the actual, you know, they're taking away

your women's rights. Vote for a choice. Vote for a chance. Vote Democrat. The only thing that's not real in that is that that guy's not really running for mayor. Oh, that's disappointing. Everything else is real. Yeah.

Jerry Bertram. Not your idiocracy at this point. Yeah. Hoping you have a great new year. How does he do that? How does he make that green like that? When he comments, sometimes it's not. Who?

What are you talking about? I'm delayed. Oh, it's a YouTube member comment. So I think there's a certain thing that he gets a certain amount of those or something like that yeah oh so he can choose when he wants it to be highlighted not highlighted I think so no I feel I think YouTube that's like a feature like whenever you get to a certain like every month you get like that comment posted I don't know if

Heidi actually did a satire show of Den's updates that would be fucking hilarious. It would be Please Yes, I can't let me know. Let me know if you need a platform remember remember when she used to do Like she used to do like debriefs of the show. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah Instagram at the fake step on podcast. Yeah, something like that. Yeah, that was amazing Those are so good. I Need to order a neon sign Maybe yeah, just crowdsource the crowdsource it with the chat. Maybe we'll get you one for next Christmas

I need a lot of money before I start saving Judge tells court to respect pronouns This story is unfucking believable Judge this is this is uh, december 26 judge tells court to respect pronouns of rapist who now wants to be known as a woman This story gets crazy and crazier. This is the judge And this is a rapist that's in jail Oh this man is in a woman's jail where he's already raped three women and gotten one of them pregnant. And recently she's saying that

they have to address him as a female in the court. California judges ordered the court to respect the pronouns chosen by a rape accused prisoner despite the DA's concern that the inmate is exploiting legal protections meant for transgender convicts. Madera County Judge Katherine Rigby ruled last week that prosecutors must refer to transgender prisoner Tremaine Carroll, 52, by female pronouns. Carroll is accused of raping two women and impregnating a third while incarcerated in central California women's facility in Chowchilla where she was serving or he was

serving 25 years for robbing a jewelry store. What the fuck? How many women do you have to rape before they kick you out of the before they just shoot you before they kick you out of the the women's section in the prison Maybe a couple more probably Yeah, it's a five. Come on guys five and then he's out five's the limit, you know It's fucking nuts, isn't it? Carol was housed at the female only jail after being transferred from a male prison despite previously admitting kidnapping charges and facing allegations of other sexual assaults So not only did he rob a jewelry store, but he's a sexual predator in the public California's transgender respect agency

and dignity act means that she was able to swap jails. He was able to swap jails without any evaluation or evidence of transition. Wow. Person who is not a woman in any sense of the word, Moreno told ABC seven, he is rallied against Rigby's decision Rigby's decision Moreno said the pronoun issue complicates her ability to prosecute Carol for rape what what state is this in this is California do of course it's California this is the fucking chick of course dude

when I met with the director of programs and preventions from Homeland It's California. This is the fucking chick. Of course, dude When I met with the director of programs and preventions from Homeland Security And I asked him I was like what type of stuff do they have in in California? He's like, what do you live as like the Bay Area and he laughed and he's like well They don't have shit for a Californian. He's like it's especially in the Bay Area There's no rehabilitation for like juvenile juveniles like with nonviolent crimes or area nothing There's literally nothing for them So they just become a product of the system like almost guaranteed this fucking lady has two kids and

She put in one of them. She has a daughter she put this dude in a fucking jail with fucking women and two women have been raped and One impregnated I guarantee you the third one was raped too. Yeah, but she has to respect her social party before all. This is a particular issue in this case because it's confusing to the jury. In California, rape is a crime that has to be accomplished by a man, she said.

Oh shit. And since he's claiming he's not a man that's not he can rape oh wow oh fuck that's crazy and yeah shan you're right that is the design that's the crazy fucked up part about it dude is when we actually was learning more about it you realize that the whole thing's just made to usher people in. Hey, listen, all my family members that are voting Democrat, you have to know, no matter what you think about Republicans, not a single Republican or conservative or libertarian would ever allow this to happen. This would be a fucking a single issue event.

Dude, this is crazy. The people on the right won't tolerate, aren't going to tolerate the, and I know someone's going to be like people on the right, on the, on the right won't tolerate aren't gonna tolerate the and I know someone's gonna be like people on the right on the On the right rate people once again. I'm not saying that they don't rape people I'm saying they're not trying to fucking normalize the rape of fucking women. They're not trying to make it legal to rape women You have to be able to see that distinction No one is saying that the church doesn't rape little boys What we're saying is is no one's trying to make it legal or normalize it.

Protect him. Yeah, you're trying to fucking protect. If this guy calls himself a she, he can go into prisons and rape women. Supervising Deputy District Attorney Eric Du Temple said the decision was unfair to the alleged victims. It's just absolutely insane that a victim would have to get on the stand and police their pronoun usage when trying to recite one of the scariest times of their lives. Oh shit. So if you're like that guy fucking raped me, they're like, sorry, restate your question and say that that woman raped me.

Dude, that's some and then go back to the parody thing where we just watched like what world do we live in? And these are the same idiots who are upset because Greg didn't fucking know Lazar's name. By the way, I want to tell you something else, by the way. 99% of the people who report on Lazar and Luca, if you listen to the videos they do, they always confuse their names back and forth.

You'll always hear them mess up once. They'll call Lazar, Luca and Luca Lazar. Lazar. Yep, they do. Carol has been accused of raping two of his cellmates. By the way, and once again, the YouTube comments are like, I don't know why you're making that a big deal, Sevan. It's not a big deal to me.

Zero, it's irony. I'm pointing out the irony in it. It's not a big deal to me. Someone goes, someone in the comments wrote, hey, I hope no one remembers you and Greg. Yeah, I hope no one remembers me either when I'm dead. And who the fuck are you? Yeah, yeah.

Legacies for fucking cunts. Your only legacy is your kids. It's just absolutely insane that a victim would have to get on the stand and police their pronouns usage when they're trying to recite one of the scariest times of their lives carol has been accused of raping two of his cellmates and impregnating another woman i'm going to call it a triple rape after a cellmate became wow your cellmate rapes you dude after his first cellmate became pregnant and was moved to los angeles two other cellmates of his of his had complained that he had raped them complained of his had complained that he had raped them, complained. No complaints.

Complained. My light bulb is out in my cell and my channel three doesn't work and fucking Tremaine put his dick in my ass. Nighty night. Keep your butt whole night. Can I get one or two of those things fixed? Yeah, we'll be about to replace the light bulb in the morning. Yeah, preferably the light bulb.

Two other cellmates of his had complained they had been raped. Complained? So we have filed rape charges against his inmate said Marina. One of the women previously told daily news.com how she had left the been left with lasting trauma after the light bulb in a room hadn't been replaced for a month. Oh no, no, had been left with lasting trauma. She was allegedly attacked by Carol in the showers and fuck senseless. Wow. The accused since she was left. Imagine having to explain that you were left with trauma after fucking Tremaine fucking ass pounded you in the showers. The accused has since been transferred to Salinas Valley State Prison for men and is due back in court in January. Oh, that's weird Hmm

What a concept this is fucking nuts, that's his home There it is I could see my cousin through the window He's in jail there. He's in San Quentin. Oh, man. Oh life Did he kill someone no luckily no Ran a cop with the hit a cop with the car did like a I told you about this Did that tell me again? Yeah He went in that you got you got a handful of yeah, we got Yeah, yeah, yeah committed armed robbery at 13 went into jail basically became a product of the system my aunt

Effectively from like the ages six to the time he went in for armed robbery, had him stealing from stores and what have you to get drug money. He came out of the system at 18 for a little bit of time, went back in. Anyways, he was out basically on his third strike, so he couldn't go back in. I think at this point, he was 25. He was out for a pretty good period of time, but then he got caught. He was actually driving, just had a brake light out on the freewayway pulled over by Pleasanton PD and ran across the freeway and he's a big dude. So I don't know how he didn't get hit by a semi truck, but ran across the freeway and they when they searched

the car, he had like a freezer bag of Oxycontin in the car, shotgun, 26 grand in cash, all this. And I mean, he's a two time convicted felon. so We was going in for life but at the time his girlfriend who was pregnant was in the car and He left him and ran right and so his in all his fucking genius ideas Decided he was gonna go down to like the Pleasanton Courthouse to like try to get the car out and pretend like I wasn't there is just news I got and so the cops knew what the situation was so they set up a barricade out in front of the courthouse in Pleasanton and he kind of caught like kind of realized Oh shit

I think these guys are setting up on me so ran out of there jumped in the car ran through the police barricade Hit a cop in the process and then let a police chase from Pleasanton to Manteca Called my aunt went to call my aunt Tika to Manteca, dude So called my was trying to call my aunt who was working at the time for my mom, like part time with my mom part time. And she wasn't there. So my mom got on the phone and he was basically calling to be like, hey, I'm like, is my mom there? And she's like, no.

And he's like, OK, well, like I need her. And she's like, why? And he's like, because I'm saying bye. I'm pulling this car of him and I'm going out a gunfight. And my mom basically had to be like, don't do it. Like, don't take innocent people with you. Like those cops all have and started like going out in a gunfight and my mom basically had to be like don't do it like don't take innocent people with you like those cops all happen started like going through the thing of trying to humanize the people chasing him and he ended up pulling over and not doing it. Wow. Yeah. Yeah dude that's a hell of a run. That's just a straight straight away. You could go

be pegged over a hundred that whole way. Oh he was dude and if you if you look it up too I'll tell you and Caleb afterwards but like he was he was basically he robbed every pharmacy in the Bay Area all the way from San Francisco or cowboy to just literally just of all the Oxycontin he could get and yeah he used to steal shit from me he come through the house all the time he stole stole my first skateboard. How old are you man? um, I Was like oh so everyone knew when that dude came over hide all your shit remember I always make the joke like yeah families come and hide the valuables. Yeah. Yeah

Yeah, dude, and like convinced like he was like, oh man, like that's all that's that's my skateboard It got stolen or whatever and like would just fucking, you know, make up bullshit when he would get caught stealing stuff. Are his parents still alive? His dad is not, but his dad was obviously never around. And my aunt, yeah, she's still she's still around. And yeah, she says she lives overhead. God, you know, I feel horrible for her.

That would suck if you're kidding. It's crazy. The guilt not only from her, but from my grandpa on that side. Like, there's a lot of it, man. There's a lot of it, especially now as they get older and they kind of like reflect back and she's, you know, come out of the drug haze more or less. And it's like, oh, she was a drug addict. She was the one. Yeah, man. Don't do drugs, man. Don't do drugs kids.

I want to I meant to ask is James if he has plans to have kids. Okay, so I want to I wanted to show you a couple New York subway things. So like if you ride the New York City subway, this right here, if you ride the subway for 30 minutes a day, you will see this every single day. This is the bare minimum you'll see. The bare minimum. I don't even, I don't, that'll, yeah, this is the bare minimum you'll see. Something like this. Here we go That is the bare minimum you will see on the New York City subway. Some random fucking weirdo doing that shit to you. I do, I am not fucking exaggerating in the slightest. I'm not saying it'll happen to you, but you, but it happen very likely could happen to you, but you will but you will witness

it for sure. And I want to show you something else. The subway is just fucking crazy. Okay, look at this. And this is just totally normal. This happens, this is like what I'm showing you. Also, ride the subway for 30 minutes every day. You'll see something like this at least once a week. Here we go. Watch this fucking crazy shit.

It's a dude on the subway with a fucking fire extinguisher. You wanted it. You, you, you wanted it? You? You? You wanted it? You wanted it? You wanted it? That was a fucking baby carriage. He just fired a fire extinguisher at a baby carriage. And then got off. What was that one with that lady? No, fuck!

What? They said he needed that one with that lady what oh yeah, oh good point yeah, where was he when the lady was on fire? Yeah, yeah, okay, so fire extinguishers are really available in the car. They just didn't want to use it on that. Yeah, that's what you don't even you don't even need police on the train. You just need police and prosecutors just enforcing shit like that like that dude. Yeah, like that dude yeah like that dude just this child endangerment right I mean dude if someone punched that dude so hard and it killed him I would I would and I was the fucking prosecutor I wouldn't charge no

way crazy thing is if you did that they would have charged you and not him I saw a woman piss right piss and shit right in the middle of the car yeah I seen that I seen people peeing on the subways in New York too just right in there what yeah yeah it's endless it's endless insanity down there dude I did the Hoboken to Manhattan subway ride four times a year all hours and never saw anything except the guy sleeping in his pew Well, uh, what year was that? because I went there when fucking I Well, I didn't do I didn't do the Jersey

I just read a road around in Manhattan and every time I saw something Hey even walking to the Subways hairball down all those fucking like it's like walking in a giant bathroom Everything's tiled and there's fucking people just all over doing weird shit in there So they can just spray it down with the hose. Yeah pressure wash it You've been to an emergency room now that it's wintertime lately at night. Oh, everyone's in there Just it's just all the homeless people and they're sleeping. We had to do a visit a week or two ago and It's just all the homeless people and they're sleeping. We had to do a visit a week or two ago and there was a freaking dude passed out on the floor, pants down around his like mid thigh in the in the emergency room waiting in the

emergency room. Yeah. Waiting room. Right. With a literal piece of shit still hanging out of his asshole. Oh, my God. It smelled so fucking bad in there. You couldn't even like do anything. And that was like one of multiple people, because what ends up happening is they'll either start pulling the people that live on the street off the street or they'll start just coming in just because there's nowhere else to go. So, yeah, insane. I don't see any homeless people by where I live in this section of town.

And I don't know, a couple of years ago, I was in the emergency room late at night and there were 10 there were probably 10 people in there no one in the waiting room but 10 people they were helping so much fucking noise so loud and I asked doctor I'm like what's going on she's like oh these are the there's a word she used for him but there are people who just call ambulances and fire trucks on cold nights so they can come to the hospital and sleep. Frequent flyers. Frequent flyers. Frequent flyers that's what she called them yeah yep and that's exactly those when we lived in

Virginia she knew the dude's name she knew exactly every time they got a call to the same bus stop was the same dude every time they go pick him up and they take him to the hospital and then the hospitals like there's nothing wrong with you we're not gonna do anything with you and they'd kick him out so then he'd get up the heat get a bus ticket and because that's what the hospitals like there's nothing wrong with you, we're not going to do anything with you and they'd kick him out. So then he'd get up the he'd get a bus ticket. And because that's what the hospitals do, they would just give him a bus ticket and he'd ride off. You go back to the same bus stop, same do the same thing call like, oh, now I have

chest pain or something. And then then they take him to the hospital. He gets he gets a room for the rest of the night they give him food, drugs, blanket, they give him whatever he fucking whatever they give him. and then he gets out the next morning goes about his day and does the next shit like does it a few days later every time it's endless and who pays for that? Wait but that's not possible we don't have free health care in the United States. Right. Interesting. I need to move to a different country which has so much better than we do. Right. Yeah. How's that guy paying for his health care? Yeah. On a final note, a message from the President of the United States. World Health

Organization has become nothing more than a corrupt globalist scam paid for by the United States, but owned and controlled by China. When the China virus reached our shores three years ago, the World Health Organization disgracefully covered the tracks of the Chinese Communist Party every single step of the way. For this reason, it was my great honor to terminate America's relationship with the World Health Organization. The United States was paying the World Health Organization almost 500 million million a year when I dropped out, I took it out of there. And for 330 million people, even though China was paying only $40 million for 1.4 billion

people. So we had 330, they have 1.4 and we're paying more than 10 times the amount. That's typical for the United States because they don't is paying more than 1.4 and we're paying more than 10 times the amount. That's typical for the United States because they don't know what the hell they're doing. Unfortunately, crooked Joe Biden foolishly reentered the World Health Organization at the full price and without any negotiations or reforms.

And now Biden is pushing to bypass the United States Senate to enter a pandemic treaty that would surrender American sovereignty to the World Health Organization, again controlled by China. The draft treaty would require the United States to send vast quantities of medical supplies to other countries in the event of another pandemic, and it would push aggressive censorship of free speech on issues of public health, just like they censored the truth about the Wuhan lab, which I said that's where it came from, remember. Under the next Trump administration, that treaty will be immediately terminated. I would not allow public health to be

used as a pretext to advance the march of global government. That's what they're doing, globalists. The United States will withdraw from the corrupt World Health Organization, which in light of its utter failure on COVID, they had a tremendous disaster on COVID. This YouTube station was pulled down for a week during COVID because we said that exercise and nutrition was the greatest hedge against all forms of sickness.

Also, in California, you're not allowed to get a second opinion. If you get diagnosed with COVID regarding the treatment, you have to follow the guidelines that are put in place by the California government. And if you do, if a doctor does give you that their own opinion, they can have their, they can and will have their medical license taken away. It is some real fucking shit. There's nothing he said there that's hyperbole. China does run the World Health Organization. It is just a tool to fucking beat down other countries and take over. It's all about globalization. Stay the fuck away from them.

I'd also like to read this thoughtful message that Caleb wrote in here on this post. Caleb wrote, I'm gay and cried in joy when Trump won. Not only did America shoot down fascism, but America shot down communism. And America shot down the very party That lies that are for the gays That was really that's i'm proud of that. Yeah, what a good deal. I was pretty stoked, you know Just happy to be here Uh, I finished dexter the whole series tonight. We're gonna be doing binge bros

Uh, there's a new episode on paramount for the newest series of Dexter make sure you check it out tonight I'm guessing around six or seven o'clock also would be nice if I could do a CrossFit Games update show I'm not sure what's gonna happen but uh Caleb is going to what are you doing now Caleb I don't know I think I gotta go Christmas shopping for another Christmas party all right and And Susan and I are gonna go out breakfast with great Dave Castro and Greg Glassman. Talk to you guys later. Bye bye.

When I opened my gym, I knew I was gonna be training with the boys all the time. I was gonna get jacked, just be lifting 24 seven. Let me show you how it's really going. Tavias, the toilet's clogged. Oh, okay. Hey Tavias, somebody needs help with their membership. Oh, okay.

Thanks. Hey Tavias. Oh yeah, what's up? I know I don't have my strict pull up yet, but can you help me get a bar muscle up? Yeah, sure. Let's go. Okay, it's 9 p.m. so if I get home, shower, eat, I can be bed by 11 and then be back here at 4 15 a.m. Let's go.

This is the fourth time today that I've had to clean shit off the toilet. You guys have to get a different pre-workout. I knew owning a gym I'd get to buy all the cool equipment I want. Check out this awesome $700 table. Ah, another person asking for a refund three weeks after their draft has come out. You know the cancellation policy, John. Oh, Carrie, five minutes late but had time for Starbucks again, huh? Thanks, Carrie.
