Yeah good to see you too. Are you in a room or people asleep in your house
still? No we had my um we had our voice just sleepover with my mom. Just because these holidays have been completely wrecking us.
They've been sick.
You know, Mer's completely down and out
for the count right now.
Oh, okay.
Oh man, it just has like completely taken over.
So, you know, I told my mom, was like,
hey, look, I need some good sleep.
Miranda needs a good sleep.
And you know, I have something to do in the morning.
So, and they love doing sleepover at grandma's house.
Does she take all three?
Yeah, and they're great.
You know, you have three boys and they really, the youngest just kind of follows the flow
at this point.
The old one is the one that gets the most discipline, leads the pack.
So they do great.
And they're great with grandma, right? Like, you're like, they know socially, like, hey, don't push grandma's buttons the way
that they push mom and dad.
Like, they'll just straight go in the living room and have a boxing match.
They don't do that at my mom's house.
I would say that, no, they don't do that.
It's been interesting seeing the evolution of my mom being a grandma, right?
Like at first you can kind of see a little bit as much as she tried to respect the what
Mara and I wanted to establish in the household naturally, you know, the Latin culture that
motherly instinct would come out. And as you know, we've grown because she's been, you
know, you know, watching our kiddos for so long at this point, six, seven years, you know, it's
been a lot of communication, just kind of being really
aligned with us, which was a very big, like, there's a lot of
boundary setting. Because, you know, growing up Mexican
culture, the mom is like, you know, it's very stereotypical,
right. And it's hard to kind of speak up, but when we got to a place of conflict,
because she was the main nanny at the time,
there's a lot of conflict between Miranda and I,
because she's like, hey, you knew this is something
that I would like for you to communicate with your mom.
And sometimes she would feel like an outsider.
And so I had to grow up a lot in my ability to just speak up to her and just kind of bridge
that gap.
But now they do phenomenal.
The kids do phenomenal with her.
She respects like kind of what we ask her to do, like the shows we want her, you know,
they're allowed to watch or if they're not allowed to watch shows, the food that they
eat.
They don't get a free pass just because they go to grandma's. Yeah and your kids are with your mom a lot too. It's not like they're with grandma once every
six months and so they have like a cough dropper you know and now and later. It's like your kids
see your mom like every day right? Yeah they see her not every day as much anymore so now we ended
up because of that situation how the conflict would kind of was becoming to a point where it needed to be addressed. We actually have a different nanny.
My mom watches the kiddos a couple times a week. But we kind of distance ourselves with that
relationship a little bit so we could have more of a, you know, Miranda could have more of a mother
in law. And for me, like, your, your mom and a mother in law and for me like your your
mom and kids can see grandma and stuff. So we do have a separate grandma or a separate
um nanny to watch the kids. Yeah, I went through four days a week. Hey dude, I know one other
couple comes in mind completely. The grandparents were the nannies. And after a while you're like, no, the grandparents need to be the grandparents.
And so they hired another nanny and they did what you did.
It's not like that they're out, but it's like, hey, you don't want to blend those relationships.
Kids need a grandma. And that's different than a nanny a lot of the times.
And it's interesting. Yeah. And then it helps the relationship, like you said, with you and your mom and Miranda and your mom.
It just becomes so much healthier at that point, which has been, uh, you know,
I think it's been very uncomfortable.
Like, uh, you know, the last couple of years definitely has like, uh,
there's been an evolution of growth between even our relationship.
Um, and it needed to happen.
How old are your kids?
So you have Knox with seven, um, you have who's over four and a half at this point,
and then Crew, our youngest, will be three in March.
Damn, dude.
It's on.
It's on, man.
Like, there's really, there's no rest in this season.
But it's also getting to that stage too, especially with Knox and Banner.
It's getting fun. They're starting to get into the same things that I enjoy.
Or even bringing that nostalgia for me. They're into Transformers. They're into the good comic books, the good Spider-Man times. That's been super fun. Hey, so you have, so you have these and how old are you?
Julian? 35. Hey, and do you respond to Julian and Julian?
It depends on the relationship I have with the person. Like if I go to Starbucks,
it's Julian. If it's somebody that kind of know for awhile, it's like, yeah,
you know, they kind of pick up like, wait, people are calling you Julian.
So yeah. And if you know, you kind of pick up like, wait, people are calling you Julian. It's like, yeah.
And if you know, if you want to be my friend then yeah.
I got into it with someone the other day.
I called you Julian.
They're like, it's Julian.
I'm like, listen, look at the dude.
I can totally see how, you know, growing up, my parents would always tell me like, no,
it's Julian.
And it was more of like a pride.
Like you gotta, you gotta blend the Mexican with the, with the English.
Cause in reality as I grew up, I'm like,
yeah, that's Julian, but I've gotten so accustomed
at this point for Julian, so it is what it is.
Dude, is 35 young?
When you think of your age, do you think 35 is young?
I mean, you've done so much already.
You have three kids.
I had just moved out of my motor home.
I was like, I was like, okay, I'm moving into an apartment.
Yeah, 35 is definitely young, you know, it's young, it is.
And I'm in a season of life too right now where, you know, reality definitely caught
up with addressing a lot of the things that I needed to let go of or grow up in
That way I can evolve into the next version of myself
Essentially, so I don't have a midlife crisis at 40 and then be confused. It's still like wait, where does this come from, you know?
You know, but definitely I believe that God definitely has given me a huge responsibility in this life with the blessings that he's given me
because It's a lot man like I kind of
minimize a lot of what I've done but when people start to ask me like well
what have you done and I start to you know have that conversation that's wild
mm-hmm what year did you and Miranda start street parking so we started in
2017 we started in 2017 the idea started in 2017. The idea, you
know, formed a little bit when, you know, I was working out in
the front of my house at that point when I was living in San
Fernando Valley. And you know, she would come over and we'd
sit and work out some of my front yard. And those are fun
days. I was still training for the games at that time. And then
she was like, Hey, maybe we should start like, you know, subscription model. And then that's
how it took off, you know, that origin story there. And at that time, were you guys dating
when you guys were working out together or did the working out together kind of facilitate the
dating? Did that lead to that? I would say that when we first met instantly, like there was like
a natural connection that happened
between us. Like I think we both got to see like the real version of ourselves. Like she
saw in me what other people would judge me for. She saw me something different than other
people would typically typecast me for or judge me for. When we would go, when we went
on our first like dinner date, right, it wasn't really a date. We had great conversation and
she was somebody that I had sat down with that was completely out of the norm that I was, you know,
that I usually sat with when it came to women and that I was interested in. And we hit it off right
away. Tell me what that is. So there was something you wanted to be recognized for and you're saying she saw that in you and you like that. Yeah, I think people and to no fault of their own too, I think I really
played into that persona of like the you know the Latin actor who you know had the looks and the
you know who called women at the time like my senorita and you know he's the salsa dancer and
all those things that I naturally really enjoyed.
I liked doing random things.
Like I liked going and learning salsa dancing.
I liked, you know, I liked baking.
I liked cooking.
But I think I really played into it in a way
more for performance than as opposed to like,
hey, I'm actually really nerdy at heart.
And you know, I think you guys are really typecast to me
in this like Rico Suave kind of image and she saw the real version of me more of a vulnerability and a realness.
And so you were in Hollywood for people who don't know you were living in Los Angeles
pursuing an acting career.
And that's why you say it's no fault of their own you were part of party You was chasing that you're like, okay, like I could really fit into this character role handsome
talented
Sexy, you know Hispanic figure in front of the camera
Yeah, when I mean I had no purpose like I had no idea what I wanted to do moving like as I was growing up
You know, especially when I was being to be done with high school. So acting gave me an identity at the time. I was like, all right, well, I'm not going to go to college.
And my parents, you know, got me doing these like, you've probably heard it like Barbizon. It's like
those kiosks, people that your kid can become an actor or model. And then so my parents,
naturally being Mexican, they're like, ah, my son's gonna be a star one day. But in reality,
like the odds of that actually happening is not they're not, they're trying to sell you a dream.
But somehow, like, you know, as I pursued that,
it actually, I've had some success with that actually.
You know, it gave me an identity.
I left to LA.
I took the audition seriously because I was like,
well, I don't know what else I wanna do in life.
So this gave me purpose during that season.
And it went good.
I mean, at 19, 20 years old, I booked my first feature film,
the remake of Red Dawn.
That was fun.
I got to work with a good cast during that time.
But it also exposed me to a lot of the realities
behind the scene, what goes on behind the scenes, of that industry and that world, which kind of felt icky to me.
I'm like, well, like, you know, just the behind the scenes drug, like coke and the alcohol and the,
I wasn't, you know, that's one thing that luckily I was able to always stay away from drugs.
Like that was never something that was able to take hold of me or influence me.
So I'm very grateful for that.
But and then after that then, shortly after I was able to go to,
I booked another role, I got to go to Spain.
I got to work with people like Antonio Renderas, Michael Douglas,
Gina Carano at the time when she was big in the UFC, I think.
Channing Tatum, for me, it was like surreal.
It was like, whoa, this is crazy.
But even before that, I remember my first shock factor moment was when we did
a table read for Red Dawn.
And Tom Cruise comes rolling in to the table read.
And I was like, whoa, here I am, someone from Tillamook, Oregon.
And even before that, I grew up in Chachilla, which is in, you know, central California.
And it blew me away.
I was like, this is nuts.
Like I felt proud of myself in that moment
for where I was at.
And it was like, okay, like you're on a momentum here.
Yeah, those are good signs when you're at the table
with those people.
Those are the people at the highest level in the field that you're pursuing.
Absolutely, you know, and it was really cool to like, you know, I got to look at the script
of Thor before it came out because Hemsworth was in Red Dawn and you know, I hung out with
him and the other, you know, co-star Josh Pack and every day we hung out every day.
We shot that in Michigan and that was super cool.
I was working out with him all the time with his trainer
getting ready for Thor.
But then you have a moment of reality, it kicks in,
it's all fun and everything when you're in that zone,
but as soon as everybody goes back to home to LA,
relationships kind of fall out,
oh, back to reality.
And luckily during that time,
and you know, acting goes in ebbs and flows,
it goes up, it goes down.
But then at 22, I think my brother took me to
the CrossFit Games in 2011, I want to say.
Older or younger brother?
My older brother, he's older than me
by two and a half years now.
And he took me, he got really into CrossFit.
He was like super, he was a fan boy.
He was super into it during the Valley Girls era, which is like Rebecca Boy,
you know, Katie Hogan and well, like clever.
And he took me to the CrossFit games and I instantly was like, whoa,
I want to do that.
Like this is super cool.
You know, during the times of Neil Maddox and Khalifa Froning and I was super cool, you know, during the times of Neil Maddox and, um, Kalipa Froning and, uh, I was super impressed, you know,
and then I started going to Valley CrossFit and it completely shifted my
attention and I was like, well, I love this.
Like this is something that I really enjoy.
And I was personal training at the time too.
Like I was doing so much just to try to make ends meet. So I was a personal trainer. I was training people in my backyard. I was
doing these extreme bootcamp classes. It was like a franchise that used to be super big.
This was during the time of Barry's bootcamp era. I was 18 years old. I picked up a job
there. I was running three classes a week and I was getting paid $25 a class. So back then I was like, that's so much, you know. And then I had one on one clients. And then also trying to well, because it gave
me flexibility for my schedule. And also super random. When I came back from Red Dawn and
haywire, you know, I had an influx of money in my bank account at that time,
which this was during the 2009 2010 era, which is crazy because I made the dumbest mistakes
financially, you know, instead of taking the opportunity, I had never had a mentor during
that time. But instead of taking the opportunity to, you know, educate myself financially,
or capitalize on the crash or the housing crash.
No, I was spending on dumb stuff like dates with women.
Like my biggest distraction in my life has always been,
it has been women growing up.
You know, it was, it took away all my efforts and energy
and also because, you know, I was very lonely.
I was very lonely at the same time, you know.
Like pursuing women, wanting to date women.
Yeah, it's funny to say that, I mean,
I feel like from six years old to 35, that's all I did.
Yeah, it was a waste of time.
And you know, I think-
Why do you think it was a waste of time?
Because I think it's a waste of time in hindsight too. Even though I wouldn't rate it for anything, I think it was a waste of time. And you know, I think why do you think it was a waste of time? Because I think it's a waste of time in hindsight, too.
Even though like I wouldn't trade it for anything.
I think it was a waste of time, too.
I think it's a waste of time because we're we're trying naturally to fill a hole.
I got baptized a year ago.
I started walking back, you know, in spirituality and following Jesus.
And I grew up to have a witness, which is crazy.
I grew up to have a witness.
And I'm going to try to early as you have a witness, which is crazy. I grew up to have a witness. And up until 12.
As early as you can remember.
Up until I was 12 years old.
Okay.
And then I moved to Tillamook, Oregon and from Tillamook, Oregon, I went back to LA.
And so I had a spiritual roots in me.
And what now looking back at my life, what I was trying to fulfill was an empty hole
of like abandonment. Because during that time too, during 1781 moved to LA, my parents were going
through a divorce. And during that time when you're a young man trying to move to a big
city, like going from a town of 4,000 people to LA, like that's a huge shock to a young
man. Could you imagine sending your 17 year old to like,
all right, go, like go, you're gonna go to LA
and pursue acting, but then your parents became absent
because they were dealing with their divorce.
And it ruined my relationship with my mother at the time.
I didn't wanna talk to my dad
because all my dad would wanna talk to me about was like,
you know, would talk negatively about my mom. And at the end of the day, I you know, we'll talk negatively about my mom.
And at the end of the day, I was like, hey, this is still my mom. So I was trying to process
that grief of my family breaking. And so I think I try to fulfill it with trying to feel
like I belong somewhere. And when, because you know, here I am 1920 years old I
had a history like my my mom used to bake cakes growing up and
Was in the baking industry and stuff
so I went through a whole season where I would also start baking cupcakes and I would go sell them to
You know, I would go to hair salons and start selling them at hair salons in LA. Cold call, just walk in with a box of...
I just walked in.
I just walked in.
The first box of cupcakes I ever sold was the leasing office in my apartment complex
at the time.
And I was like, oh, this was easy money.
I just literally sold like three dozen cupcakes for like 30 bucks.
And that took me no time at all.
I was personal training.
I was making cupcakes, just doing all the things, side hustles, you know?
And then I was like, Hey, you weren't scared.
It was super early and honestly taking advantage to of the fact that like, yeah, I could notice
that, you know, these women at the time just wanted to flirt with me, you know, and I was
like, Oh, this is an easy sell for me.
I'm just going to go sell cupcakes in this no big deal.
I'm going to pay, you know, know you I'm gonna lean into this um and then yeah I would go
hair salons all over the San Fernando Valley and sell cupcakes every week in a pocket like you know
eight nine hundred dollars. Damn. And that was a lot you know it allowed me to focus throughout
the week on auditions it allowed me to still focus on my personal training um you know and then I
would sell I made salsa my dad taught me the salsa recipe and then I would sell, I made salsa, my dad taught me the salsa recipe
and then I would go to like barber shops and I would walk in.
So salsa is during like NFL game days.
And that was always awesome too, you know, but then again,
during that whole time, going back to the distraction
was women, cause I was, I just felt lonely.
I felt so alone and I had no friendships as far as like male figures go.
If I had friends, it would always be like lesbian women because regular women, it just
wouldn't work. You know, anytime there was a level of vulnerability, they would either
end up developing feelings or vice versa.
And then so I would end up having, you know,
lesbian friends all the time growing up
because I felt like I connect with a woman
but also never feel like I was, had to pursue anything.
But I was lonely, man.
Did you know you were lonely then
or in hindsight when you look back,
you're like, oh, that was loneliness.
I always felt lonely during that time.
Like I felt like I was wasting time.
I did, because I wanted a relationship.
Like I wanted the connection of someone,
but I didn't also at the same time,
I didn't know how to be vulnerable.
I would only hide behind the facade of look at me,
like I'm young, I just got done booking movies.
I, you know, I'm confident.
Like, but then when I would, you know,
anytime a relationship would go four or five, six months,
and then the real vulnerability
of what I was really hurting with,
and I, hey, I feel alone.
I feel I'm hurting from my,
I would never wanna talk to,
anytime women would ask me about my parents,
I was like, I don't wanna talk about it.
I didn't wanna talk about that.
And my real low self-esteem,
because at the end of the day, like, yeah, cool, you know,
acting, I got an influx of money or CrossFit at the time.
This is awesome.
But, you know, we'll get into this conversation later,
but you're like, what's the future look like?
What am I doing?
You know, I kept, you know,
filling that time of reflection with distractions. What's the future look like? What am I doing? You know, I kept you know filling
That time of reflection with distractions
Um, so yeah, I always felt like there was a loneliness for sure
Jehovah witnesses are kind of outsiders anyway, right? Like so, um, I just remember the kids I was friends with in elementary school who were jehovah witnesses. There was just all they were so different. Um, they didn't do christmas
They didn't do birthday. They didn't do birthdays.
Then we had I think we had a nanny maybe who was Jehovah Witness and like
There was I couldn't touch her no matter what like I couldn't shake her hand or put my hand on her shoulder or anything And then I remember in high school
I also there was this girl that I was attracted to who had a Jehovah Witness and she ended up running away from her family
Because her mom needed a blood transfusion and they wouldn't let her get it and her mom ended up dying and
I remember that had right of her religion that and that it caused some crazy
And so I she I think she maybe she moved in with me for like six months
But was that a trip being a Jehovah witness as a kid like no not really because I think at that time
I was only 12. Mm-hmm. So I think that was a moment in the young adult young man's life
a young where the next stage going into my teens would have been a huge like questioning
everything you know because for me I was still like reading the kids books you know the kids
version of the Bible I would go out on the weekends with my parents and be part of the
door to door knocking and I think a lot of that did help me in my ability to speak to strangers. Right. So and you know I had developed
friendships in the church. So if anything it was more of like yeah I have friends in
the church. It is what it is. You know people know I'm Joe witness but they know my family
Joe witness. But now looking back yeah there was no holidays, there was no...
There was just a lot of things that I would definitely question at this point, for sure.
And then you said you were baptized recently,
like within the last year, you said?
Yeah, December 17th last year.
I have one of our employees, husbands,
is a pastor at this church here at Crossroads,
and he's always been part of the community.
And, you know, last, I would say the last year and a half,
you know, you know, our family's been, it's been tested.
Our family has been tested.
You know, I've done things to hurt my family, you know, and had a lot.
I was carrying a lot of shame and I was definitely projecting that onto Miranda.
You know, and it was And, you know, and
it was unfortunate, you know, and I knew something had to change. I was like, Okay, well, the only way I've been used to
operating is not working. It's gotten me into this much trouble
here. You know, and what's what's new, and it had to be so
drastic as like I there was a very specific moment you know is it Miranda
and I had gone out and spend the evening together to kind of talk about like well
what's gonna change right um and I said God because I have no idea what I'm
doing anymore like all I've done is brought destruction and pain and hurt. And I remember how- Is that a rock bottom?
It was, I don't know if it was a rock,
definitely close to one for sure.
Definitely close to one because I believe that,
and as we've started to walk with Christ
and really diving deep into like sermons
and really trying to understand things,
and God can use even success as a way to bring him back because you start you know bringing
back bringing you back to him because here you are you're you're given all the things in this
world that you think people strive for well I want fame I want success I want this I want this
and that will fill me up right like that's gotta that's gotta fill me up. God was like, all right,
well, here we go, I'm gonna give you everything you have, I'm
gonna give you family and give you success. I mean, you've been
acting, you've been doing all this and this and this and that,
you know, and look where you're at still, you're still missing
something. And it was definitely him something outside of myself,
essentially, I was idolizing myself and was trying to operate as my own.
God, as many of us, I think, do.
You know, when I was 30,
when I was getting closer to 30,
street parking was growing.
We had been three years into street parking
and I started reading all these self-help books,
like The Four Agreements, The Alchemist,
all those things.
But then you start to realize, oh, looking back, oh, this is just an idol of self. Like, I am my own God, I'm my own universe.
Like, you know how fragile that is? Explain that to me. Explain that to me. What's so fragile? So fragile because. Because any, when you attach meaning to life
or to how you operate life, only to yourself
and not actually give it, you know, credit to what credit's
due and God, you are in control of this life.
You try to take control of your own life.
So why am I on God?
That's so delicate.
Cause in reality, we're not in control of our own lives.
And we get huge reality checks when like you know fast forward to a year and a half ago.
I'm like well you were operating the only way you knew how and you thought you're doing good
and in reality you weren't. You know you become selfish. You start to become super selfish.
I'm like well I'm gonna get what I want and if I'm not feeling good then it's somebody else's fault.
And if I'm not feeling good, then it's somebody else's fault. Hey, so 2017, you meet the love of your life, you start a business, it has meteoric success,
you're doing everything you love, you have three beautiful kids, and you're going forward
to 2024.
And not only that, you're changing tons of people's lives.
You're actually servicing people in the best way that I think
human beings can, you're teaching them to fish, you have a program that empowers people
and makes their lives better.
So everything is perfect, but you're saying, nope, you're saying a year ago something happened
and you were like, you dropped to a knee and said, God save me.
100%.
I'm, yeah, I get really.
I didn't say that. God save me? 100%. I'm, um, what did I get really? Well, cause I've been so good at performing,
you know, I've been so good at trying to perform for others and hide behind my insecurities,
you know, as opposed to just being transparent. And that it's that lack of vulnerability that
didn't ever allow me to connect not only in our marriage, but also in being able to foster meaningful friendships
with men, you know, because as men,
we're suffering, we're suffering,
holding up an image of what we think is expected of us.
And it doesn't really allow us to just surrender
to our higher power, you know?
And I had that moment for sure.
And the thing is too, like, I'm also blending that too.
Like I've been seeking, you know,
I've been working with this therapist for the last year,
over a year now, and he's like mid-60s,
and he's been phenomenal.
He's been phenomenal.
I got so lucky that he also walks with Christ and he's been guiding me.
So at the end, no matter what happens, and I'm, you know, because sometimes therapy gets
like a bad rap because you know, what's going to, it could be once again, well, listen to
your feelings, listen to your feelings.
It's like, yeah, your feelings are a good way to indicate what's going on in you.
But if you go based off your own understanding, then you're going to set yourself up for failure
because sometimes, you know, we don't understand things. And then if we operate and we try
to take control of our own lives, once again, that's where we start messing up. You know,
who is your who's your guide or who are you following? Who's your mentor? And the greatest
the greatest mentor follower is God. I picked picked up the Bible and this is where I was
really grateful for with instead of approaching religion because obviously Miranda grew up Mormon,
I grew up Jehovah Witness. I was like I'm not ready to go to religion so I picked up the Bible
and I started reading the Gospels on my own on I was like, okay, well, I'll start there and see how good,
I wanna understand it and see what's being said here.
And as soon as I started going through the gospels,
wait, wait, wait, wait, why are people,
the same way that people get red-pilled, right?
Where you start to have an image of, you know,
this person is bad, bad, bad, bad politically, but it's only one sided.
You start to question like, hold on, wait, wait, wait, why is everything so one sided?
What's going on here? What am I missing? Yeah. And that's when, you know, you start to open your eyes like, oh, shoot, like, this is true.
This is reality. Well, same thing with when I started reading the Gospels. And I said, why are people trying to hide this?
Every book that I read that that self healing the self help book drew you can see it like draws inspiration from the Bible and you're like, wait, what? Then I got so sucked in and I powered
through and then I reached out to our employees husband as a hey, I would like to meet with you
once a week to kind of talk about what I'm reading. I'm like, my mind is blown right now. And I know you
had a guest on here recently that was like speaking to religion and you were asking some
fascinating questions. And I was like, I wanted to ask you, like, have you attempted or even
tried to read the Bible or just the gospels in general?
Me? Yeah.
When I was in, um, at some point in my life, I had this before DVDs and CDs. I had all, the man on probably I was 20 powerful man before 25 years old and I've always and I've always
like I surround myself with a lot of people who believe in God who you know I surround
myself with a lot of Christians.
What's so powerful right you even go take back to the games the incident that happened
the games you commented on Froning's crew dealt with that tragedy the best right the people the people who had intimate relationship with the Bible.
100%. And you totally understand why. Because sometimes we're not meant to understand tragedy.
And their suffering in this world. But you know, when you understand
that it's all His plan, as much as that may hurt, like
it's okay to grieve, it's okay to hurt, but
it's out of our control.
There's a saying that I heard one time
in one of the sermons that said,
when you think you're in control of your life,
that's when you're least connected to reality.
When you finally realize that you're not in control of life,
that's when you're truly connected in reality.
And that was very tragedy, you know? It's funny. I was talking to my
eight-year-old yesterday and he tries to control everything where the other two boys just go with
the flow. And I kind of like I'm trying to show him that not in a negative way, but let him know like, hey, at some point,
that's going to be a hurdle for you.
Like he tries to control everything.
It's absolutely wild.
Yeah.
Yeah, it is.
And there is no happiness there.
There's not.
No.
Ben Alderman.
I think that means prayers.
Yeah, awesome.
Hey, Ben.
You know Ben, right?
NorCal Classic, Ben, been around forever.
Yeah, we competed during the same era.
We were competing during the same time.
When you started street parking,
you had a big sign that you can't possibly know
how God works because you guys
started street parking and it was supposed to be these two super beautiful people who
start this program and people watch it and next thing you know Miranda gets pregnant
and you guys are like fuck no one's gonna follow us and it ends up being a catalyst
for the explosion right people love her vulnerability her showing showing her pregnancy, and it's like, holy shit, wow, not according to plan,
explodes.
Are you guys going through something like that now too?
Because from, as you, you know what I mean?
You have everything from the outside, right?
You're helping, you're servicing people,
you have healthy kids, a beautiful wife,
you're doing, you're chasing your passion in your dream. And yet
you're still like, wow, there was something missing. Or it's going to take a different
path. Now you probably weren't thinking, oh shit, 2025 is going to be the year that I
fully embrace God. And are you and let me ask you this, let me pile on. Are you afraid
that that could affect your business? Like, because there's people out there who just
they can't even I mean, I was like this as a young man, I couldn't even accept Christians Christians, you know, I mean a lot of young people just want to fight back and just be like no
Those guys people are crazy. There is no God
You know
we're eight years into street parking at this point, you know, we have 30,000 members and
Congratulations, it's so cool soon as you on, the chat filled up with keys.
Oh, that's awesome.
I love it.
I love it.
You know, I think my focus this year, because the thing is, I made street parking my focus
up until a year and a half ago.
You know, it was my idol.
You know, given you're young, you get this opportunity, success, and you're like, all
right, well, it's going to change.
Yeah, there's so much good that came out of it.
But it also gave me something to hide behind.
It also was part of a distraction too, you know, because what needed to be addressed
was my marriage.
What needed to be addressed was strengthening the bond for longevity because
take away street parking. It's our family that it really matters, you know, and I got
to tell you, man, God definitely had a plan for Murana meeting because the amount of resilience
that Miranda has an unconditional love that she has committed to herself in this marriage
has been like, it's why we're still here.
She keeps showing up and understands that
God has a plan for me as well
and has a plan for our family.
She's been walking the same journey with me as well,
which has been beautiful to see her do that.
And it's brought such an inner peace for her
because even for both of us,
we can both now accept
that we, before God, we were both idolizing even our marriage.
That was the top.
But then we were doomed to fail because we're,
you're gonna fail your wife,
your wife's gonna fail you regularly.
And if that is your higher power,
good luck operating through life that way. to fail you regularly. And if that is your higher power, you
could, you know, good luck operating through life that way,
you know. And so that's been a huge shift the last year and a half, placing something above us way more important. So that way,
you know, he can guide our family. And even if people
don't accept that, I understand that's okay. It's not something
that we want to like you have
you know Froning who puts you know, pray and puts his his company started a lot, you know,
I walk with Christ so early and we're very committed to it, but I'm not trying to
I'll speak to it as a way that, yeah, this is what saved me.
But keeping it as our brand has always been, we're here to be inviting.
We're here to meet people with where they're at.
And at the end of the day, our job, our stewardship in life is to help people with fitness above
all else. We're here to help people with fitness above all else. Right? Like that's,
we're here to help people because even religiously, right? I think that's one thing that people are
neglecting. People are so quick to talk about the spirituality and stuff like that. But hey, part of
that is taking care of our temple and that's our bodies. And, you know, luckily that's where we give
praise to what Greg created. You know, Greg served the purpose in this life as well and still does with bringing the opportunities
that Mara and I have with being able to speak
to CrossFit Gospels, but back to what it was intended to be.
A platform, a medicine for longevity,
not a competitive,
the competitive scene, you know,
like that's beautiful, that's awesome.
That's something that was born through it.
No different than street parking was born through CrossFit,
you know?
But we're here to be inviting to anyone
and what I speak of here today kind of gives people
this like, oh, taboo feeling.
It's okay. Like, you're good, oh, taboo feeling. It's okay.
Like, you're good, you're not affecting us.
Like, you know, we're set.
I wanna come back to GPP, General Physical Preparedness,
and what an insane program CrossFit is.
It's funny, I just randomly yesterday
stumbled upon a chick who qualified for the Olympics.
She wasn't even a swimmer, like a hardcore swimmer, but she was an old swimmer who started doing CrossFit again and then jumped in the pool and qualified
for the Olympics. It's a great story. I just stumbled across.
But before I do that, you said something about projecting shame onto Miranda.
And that's one of the craziest things about relationships.
When you're intimate with someone. You could because people have their guards down right and so they trust you and then
if you project stuff onto them you could start to make them feel crazy right like if you start
just finding shit that's not logical for yourself like if I'm just my wife doesn't I can't I don't
think my wife does it to me but if she did do do that to me, I would, I have such trust in my wife that it could start to make me go crazy. You know
what I mean? I'd be like, what is she saying? Like, what, what do I need to be? Uh, that's,
that's a gnarly trip, but that's kind of a young man's trip, right? Like in your store.
Yeah, I know. I know what you're talking about because yeah, you could tend to gaslight your
partner. Yeah, yeah. Sorry, sorry. Yeah, you're gaslighting your fucking
partner. And it's like, what the I mean, I've been in
professional relationships like that. But intimate relationships
like that. That's a that's wild. That that that could lead to
some. That could lead to some wild shit. That's pretty crazy.
That was that hard for you to admit that you did that?
100% You know, I think that's what led so much resentment and Mern knew something was wrong. She's like, Hey, and I think it's a gift that
guy gives women like that intuitive feeling like that intuitive spirit. Like, Hey, something's
wrong. I'm like, no, no, it's not. No, like you got to really look into that. Like no
way. Nothing's wrong, you know, but in reality, something was definitely wrong. Like, yeah, that's on you. And it's unfair, you know, because that in itself brings
about so like making a woman question her reality or someone question their reality,
but I'm going to refer to this in our marriage, making her question her reality was so, that
was unkind. It was not loving. It was not loving.
And, but it was a way for me to just hide my shame.
And then what happens too, right?
And then I'm gonna bring some therapy into that.
Then you're having to manage shame.
Right.
Having to perform your way through it.
And then sometimes like when you don't have
a proper coping outlet,
then you start to lead to unhealthy coping
mechanisms. And that is also part of the journey where it's like
figuring out how to not let shame consume me, how to dissolve shame. It's like, how
do we get rid of shame? Because no one operates well under shame.
That's not good at all, right? Guilt is normal. Like, hey, I think God has
planted a feeling like guilt,
you know, as a way to like, yeah,
you're probably doing something you shouldn't be doing.
You know, but shame is a whole,
shame is a way for it's destructive.
Why work through it?
Why not just run from it?
Did you ever think I'll just run from this
and start a new beginning?
Absolutely.
I totally wanted to run from it.
You know, even this
recovery process has been so brutal. Like it has literally like, it's like I'm writing my old,
my own Old Testament, you know, like I'm writing the story of Lillian Alcaraz right now and having
to really look at my patterns, my behaviors, um, things that made me operate the way I did,
you know, before, you know, I started before God,
and then now I'm having to operate in a new way. So there's still things that I'm having to
unlearn about myself and things that ticked my triggers, my, you know, and
it's tough. It's really, it's really, really hard.
Let me read this. I just saw it says Romans. Let's see.
Joshua Patterson, do not conform to the pattern of this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Then you'll be able to test and approve what God's will is good, pleasing and perfect.
Yes.
So when you start, when you start pick up the Bible, is there anything or Miranda's like,
oh shit, fucking my husband's about to go crazy?
Or does she jump on board and support that?
No, she jumps on board and supports it.
I mean, I think we both are walking this together, which I think has been very powerful.
I would say, yeah, I can see how it works for both of you.
You know, like when my wife said she wasn't going to get our kids vaccinated,
I just like sucked it up and swallowed it down.
Like, all right, and they got a crazy one. And then it took me like, I realized, oh, shit, she
made the right decision.
Well, I'm so grateful that she is doing the same thing, because it's no different than
like, you know, what Greg says before, like, if you have one partner that goes to a cross
gym, and the other one does not look how much of a separation that brings. And that's just
talking about fitness. Yeah, you know, talk about spirituality, where like the most vulnerable, soul piercing things,
you know?
But we're walking it together
and we're able to really connect,
now we're able to connect over that
and have good, deep, meaningful conversations around it.
And again, sometimes they go good,
sometimes they don't, because like naturally,
how can we not bring it back
to the ways we've heard each other?
And that could be, that could feel very like shaming.
You're like, all right, hold on.
I didn't want this to go this way.
So, but for the most part, you know,
as we continue to grow in it,
we're able to understand and see each other
for how we've both suffered
and the things we both have to overcome in our lives.
You know, even Miranda did a post the other day
how she talks about how she was suffering before we met.
Essentially, you took two broken people,
we put them together, and then we try to perform our way
through our relationship and marriage.
And it was doomed, the foundation was always broken,
it was cracked.
And I just happened to be the person that was cracked, you know, and I just, I just happened to be the person
that was like, all right, well, I'm gonna act my own way. And I didn't have healthy
coping outlets. And that's, you know, that got exposed, you know, no matter how
difficult things are going in your marriage or in this life, that does not
justify behaviors that can be very painful to your family. If
anything, seek help. Where's the line between sharing this? I know you
guys are very forward-facing in your company. You guys show all the
you're working out and kids are jumping all over you and you guys
are the cheerleaders, you're the scientists, you're the experts know you're working out and kids are jumping all over you and and you guys are in you guys are the
Cheerleaders you're the scientists you're the experts you're the parents loving is there any party that's like
Wow, maybe I shouldn't be sharing all of this and I have to hide all of this to not distract from like
What the core message has been?
Well, I would say that that's what got me in the problems in the first place
Well, I would say that that's what got me in the problems in the first place. Is that I feel like I hide it.
Yeah, I try to hide it because then it just helped it just build on the shame.
It's like, hey, this isn't who like what you got what pedestal you guys are placing our
family on is not reality.
Like we are two human beings that have our own issues and our have our own life problems
and we have we're just trying to make it work as best we can, you know, but now at least we have
someone to guide us.
I think being able to-
That being the Bible.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Because the thing is like when you have something
where, you know, all right, you're mad, you're frustrated.
I'm gonna, I'm angry, I'm gonna act this way.
It's like, okay, hold on, pause.
Like anger is a good thing.
It's telling you something that is about yourself.
Like anger is essentially exposing fear, right?
Anger, when you're really angry at something,
in reality, you're just, you're hiding fear.
Like you're scared of something and you're coping,
you're hiding it, but just retaliating
or just like being angry, like no.
And being able to have the space to do that
and feel safe to do that is very powerful.
And especially as adults, like, okay, well,
if I'm supposed to be the man of the house,
if I'm supposed to be the leader here,
who do I go to where I'm feeling afraid?
But instead of allowing ourselves to feel afraid
and just hide in God and spend some time in prayer and spend some time like,
hey, okay, this is what I'm really scared of here. This is my fear. And that's why reading
the Bible at my own expense has been very powerful because you're able to kind of see
like, well, what does the ultimate guide say? It's like, shoot. And then you can have a
moment with that. You can have a moment and being angry even about that
or being frustrated, but at the end of the day,
those choices are gonna lead to great outcomes.
Yeah, it's the ultimate wisdom.
Any pushback from the tribe?
And any snide comments like, oh shit,
Julian's a Bible beater now,
or oh great, street parking's
gone the way of Christ?
No, because I don't really do that in the office.
I'll have one-on-one vulnerable conversations with certain employees of ours, but for the
most part, I'm not one to come in there and say, all right, we're going to sit down and
pray.
Here's the thing.
Even that right now in this season of life
would feel performative.
It would feel like I'm trying to project onto others
what my journey is.
And at the end of the day, I'm doing this for myself.
I need to focus on my growth in this
so that it's gonna withstand the test of time.
Not, all right, this is the new cool thing.
This is the new shoe company.
This is the new thing.
No way, that's so unfair and unkind. thing, you know, this is the new shoe company. This is the new thing. Like, no way. Like,
that's so unfair and unkind. And honestly, like that, that to me is something that turns
me off in other individuals as well. It's like, Hey, I see your passion for this, you
know, but I'm an adult here, you know, and I'm just going to focus on this for now dude. So smart. I love it
big shift here a
General physical preparedness
When I think of CrossFit, I think you know
Greg was training people to add CrossFit to whatever they're doing that would make them better whether you be a parent or whether you just Have always been second place in the jiu-jitsu world championships or whether like you just want to make it onto the Oakland Raiders
You know back in the day, you do crossfit.
It takes you to that next level.
Um, and then obviously there was the, um, the, the needs of our Olympic athletes and our parents, uh, different, uh, by degree, not kind.
And so, you know, there's it's, it's for everybody.
And then, and then obviously there's the stopwatch and I'm torn because as soon as you put the stopwatch in
It's a competition
Right you put that you put the stopwatch in its competition and I'm okay with that. I'm not I'm not poopooing that at all
It's fun. It's cool. It's you know, especially there's times in your life where that's
inspirational but you were hinting that you think that
The that there's that there's a people out there who've lost their way of
what it really is or that it's fracturing?
You know, one of the greatest things about, I believe that we found CrossFit to help us
even through this season of our life because what CrossFit does and prepares you not only
physically but mentally, what we endure in workouts, right?
Not only are we challenging our physical being, but that mental grit, that mental toughness.
We're also strengthening that as well.
It's what, like, it's so potent just for that reason alone.
You know, like fitness in general, right?
But especially CrossFit, like going into it and, you know,
giving in our relative intensity for the day.
And obviously, you know, Murr and I,
we don't shy away from, I mean,
Murr will still puke in a workout if she wanted to, you know, we don't shy away
from intensity. We've embraced it at this point. I think that what all that has prepared
me for is this last year and a half of our life as well, because my body was so strong,
like physically in this world, I was 0.01% of the world, right? Was games out,
qualified for the games twice. Awesome. Cool. That's a great feat to put underneath my belt.
Congratulations. So accomplish this. But I think all that was preparing me for the spiritual mental
battle that I was going to endure this last year and a half, because there's been days where like
my body just did not want to function because of the stress, the depression,
the overcoming of self, you know, and because I knew how to tap into that mental aspect
of it one step at a time, more than nothing consistency is key. Yeah, I had to put the
stopwatch away because then that in itself as a competitive athlete who's so ingrained
in three, two, one 321 that beep right?
Okay, I got to time it coming from somebody who was in the 1% Yeah, my fitness has completely
declined.
But now I feel like it's on a better trajectory for like, you know, like blending the mental
and the physical for longevity, not fitness spiked.
And now it's going gonna do a hard crash
as you're seeing some people, you know,
kind of turn their backs on CrossFit.
And it hurts me because it's like,
hey, are you turning your back
because all you ever knew was the competitive side
of CrossFit and games training.
Or, you know, like Mara and I,
we were coaches before we dabbled
into the competitive side of things.
I've loved training people. And when I found CrossFit,
I loved teaching people CrossFit.
And then the training aspect of it became fun
and a side hobby,
then I just kind of rolled with it and I kept going.
But above all else,
I love helping people in their fitness journey.
But yeah, for me,
the last year and a half,
I was able to take that aspect of what CrossFit has shown me,
the mental grit, the grind to help persevere with this journey that our family's been on
and what I've been on as an individual as well.
Do you have any assessment of what you think has happened since Greg sold the company in
terms of CrossFit. Like the big picture for me is that when Greg was running, he didn't really care
who stayed or went. He just ran it based on his values and his beliefs and he
just went that way, right? And so like you see, and that's kind of how I see
street parking as. You just have, you have strong values, convictions, morals, and so
you just keep going. You're not trying to become popular
And so so it kind of it stays pure
But now since it's it has become a money money making operation and I don't mean that in a bad way
But but they have a fiduciary duty obviously right to make money for their
That you there it's um, the leadership has gotten we it's not the leadership that the crowd is used to
having has gotten. It's not the leadership that the crowd is used to having.
So you're asking me for my opinion on what's happened.
That's my really big picture. That's the biggest thing I think going on with CrossFit.
Like, like Greg would every, you know, every three months, poke his head up and be
like, you're gone. Fuck you. No, go this way. You know what I mean?
And the whole, some people would fall off the cliff. Some people would leave,
but then the whole machine would keep going
and like we would get, we had a vision
and it was based on, you know,
curing the world's most vaccine problem,
you know, longevity over medical markers, all that stuff.
So we had a strong leader and so we just went.
And I think big picture,
I think that's what's happened with CrossFit.
Like it cultivated this group of people
who really want strong leadership. And it's not.
Well you can see it in the content. It almost seems like the only thing that they keep falling
on is community, community, community, community. It's like, which is a huge part of growing
a business. It really is. What's the messaging you're trying to push here? And I think Greg had a beautiful way of delivering like he was so passionate
and he still is right. Obviously he wants to start Metfix and really I've heard him
speak to what he really what he's way more impressed by is the 300 pound person that
comes in and loses 100 pounds. Right. And not the athlete that can do a sub two minute
Fran like that's impressive. Like that's cool and all that. That's performance based.
That's, you know, and what the body's capable of doing.
But I think that his vision, his drive is what really
the people, the messaging really,
what people latched onto that messaging.
Now, obviously, you know, people can say
he's a controversial figure and all that stuff.
And that depends on people's emotional tolerances
to what he's saying. But if you see what he's saying, you see what he's delivering, you
see what his purpose is, you know, it's easy to support that. And now, because it has sold
to this company like Berkshire Hathaway, like, who are the owners? You know? And so it's
operating very differently now. It's operating where it feels like now
the main purpose of it could be monetary
as opposed to message driven.
And for Murr and I, I think a lot of what we,
we loved about Greg's delivery is like,
yeah, you gotta have a strong message
and you gotta lead with the messaging
and let the rest follow.
One of the things that I really appreciate Greg saying-
Or just leave.
Exactly, right. One of the things I appreciate about Greg was like he would
say, he just put everything out there for free. He's like, because why would I
continue to add a paywall and put the better stuff behind the paywall?
Because I want everybody to get to know this message. I'm trying to help
people's I'm trying to help lives here. And I think,
I mean, look what has been born because of it. No matter how people personally may feel
about him as an individual. It's like, hey, don't even attempt to open up the skeletons
in your own personal self's closet. Nobody wants to do that. But it naturally happens
when people in their limelight like that, you know?
And Greg seems to be more real, more authentic, and sometimes that could be to people's discomfort.
If I'm lead, let's say I'm leading five guys. Okay, I'm leading five guys. Then I'm leading ten guys. Okay, I'm leading ten guys.
Now I'm leading 20 guys and there's two guys who don't like it, right? They don't like what time we get up in the morning. They don't like what we eat at night. Now I'm leading 50 guys and
They don't like what time we get up in the morning. They don't like what we eat at night. Now I'm leading 50 guys and
Whereas going that is by the time you have a hundred guys You can't be trying to lead all the guys you have to be okay with five guys falling off
You have to be you know, and that's why I think
I
Really appreciate it
We went to a Ramsey conference and like on business on trade leadership and stuff like that about a year over a year and a half
ago and It's so good. Well, I a year and a half ago. And he- Yeah, Duzer loves that guy.
That's a good dude.
That's so good.
Well, I didn't get to meet him one-on-one,
but again, he's doing what we're trying to do here
in the finance world, right?
He's speaking the same thing over and over and over
and people may not be entertained by it,
but hey, consistency is not entertaining, you know?
But it's what works. And he said, he's entertaining, you know, but it's what works.
And he said, he's like, you know, as he talked about his beginning, and he's like, when I
first started what he was doing, I was so focused on leaving the front of the pack to
bring the weakest person and have to help them keep up.
And that works at the beginning.
But at some point, hey, then that means you've left the leader who's leading the company now
You have to and it's uncomfortable because as human beings we care who wants to see somebody falling off, you know
but the end of the day if you
Leave the front of the bus and who then who's driving it?
yeah, you have you have to be driving and then you got to lead you got to take people where they're going and
it. You have to be driving it. You got to lead. You got to take people where they're going. And the people, some people maybe not want to go where you're going, but the people that will want
to go, they're going to go. You just described our school system. Yeah, that's a tough one too.
The state of New Jersey starting Jan one just removed the uh, uh reading
Writing and math requirements to become a school teacher. They had a shortage of teachers
So what they did is they removed the fucking reading writing and math test, Julian
That's so tough, you know, because you know, luckily my and I agree
It's crazy, man
You know, that's why my and I I'm so grateful that we align on so many things regarding, especially raising our boys.
Because one of the most beautiful things
that we have the ability to do here,
I'm sure call it United States,
is we have the ability to choose, right?
And yeah, some things aren't going in the right direction. And we have the ability,
instead of focusing my efforts into listening to what's going on out there, because that could
make me angry. It's like, yeah, how can it not be super frustrating? But Murr and I have found like,
okay, we put the boys into private school. We were homeschooling them for a little bit,
but ever since like, hey, we had to focus in this season of life, that that's very demanding.
Homeschooling's very demanding.
Homeschooling is extremely demanding.
Praise the people that have the ability to do that.
And we plan on pulling the boys,
but they're going to a private Christian school
that's literally two miles away from where we live,
which has been amazing as well.
Because yeah, well, frankly,
what's going on in the school system,
there's two ways that I feel about it.
When you
have volume the way you do and you have, it almost feels like a daycare system and no fault, we have
so many amazing teachers out there. We have a lot of caring teachers. You see it in the street
parking community as well. So what's going on there right now, it's very sad, but as an ability
to choose, if you have the option to do so, you know You're faced with one or two options you change the course of your child's future and you know
See if there's alternatives if not, then you have to make do with the best option you have available
and I think many parents are
Struggling with that and it sucks because of all these changes that are happening. It's unfortunate. I was what I was wondering the other day
that are happening, it's unfortunate. I was wondering the other day,
you know, I think a lot of parents send their kids
to school knowing that their kids are around people
that aren't good.
And I always wonder what like that threshold is for parents.
I had a friend who made fun of me
because I homeschooled my kids.
And for him, it was the school shootings.
And then finally he pulled his kids out of school, right?
He's like the school shootings and then finally he pulled his kids out of school, right? He's like school shootings
That one didn't bug me because like I live in this world like it'll never happen to me. You know what I mean?
I always wonder where that threshold is
You know what I mean? Like more and more society is bumping up against each other and we're seeing more and more problems
You're seeing like people don't see the big picture until it pushes up against them
So like when do you pull your kid out of school when you see a boy?
changing in the locker or in the lock in your girls locker room is that too much for you or
You know when you find out you you know the teachers teaching something that's not true to your kids
It's it's interesting like when does that come to where you're like alright. I'm pulling my kid out of school
yeah, I would say those are the one things that I'm super grateful that we're not in
that position because I don't know what we I mean, we find a way to pull them out for
sure.
But I have empathy for the parents that don't have that option.
Like, again, we've been blessed with the ability to, we've been blessed with the ability to,
you know, be able to afford private so it's not cheap, you know.
And so that's another thing too.
I don't ever want to come across as like, well, you have a choice to pull your kid out of school. Like, no, it's not cheap, you know. And so that's another thing too. I don't ever want to
come across as like, well, you have a choice. So pull your kids out of school. Like, no, it's
not that simple either. I'm just grateful that we have had the choice and we have chosen as opposed to,
you know, belittling others that don't have that option. It's like, no, we just,
I'm grateful that we have it, then we have the option to do it. I have to imagine if parents could see
what happens in school or
if they thought back what school was like when they were a kid or
Or if they could if they had access to their kids snapchat account, they would be flabbergasted
But this way right like even even the Christian school that we have the boys, cause we volunteer, like they have this watchdog program
where dads can go drive around the campus
and then we get to go in our boys classroom
and volunteer and help and stuff.
And that's super special.
Like I love doing that.
The boys love when Papa shows up
and then Miranda is very heavily involved as well.
But even then there's some things that
I'm not a huge fan of.
Like now all of a sudden,
every time a kid has a birthday party,
they are always bringing sweets in there.
Yeah.
And now our boys have developed like a sweet tooth
and she's like, hey,
where that wasn't an option before.
That wasn't a thing.
And I had to let go of that a little bit
because of the choice that I made,
this is part of the outcomes that come from it. You know,
now I'm not in full, Miranda and I don't fully get to see what's going on and have 100% influence
on how we're raised. Cause you know, four, five hours out of the day, they're in school
away from our supervision, whereas opposed to if we have my mom or our nanny where we're
like, Hey, this is the rules. This is what we have. They're no longer in that full-time
environment. And so there's, there's constant that as well, hey, this is the rules, this is what we have, they're no longer in that full-time environment. And so there's cons to that as well,
especially probably the way you raise your boys too.
You know, could you imagine if you started seeing them
just all of a sudden, I want apple juice.
I'm like, wait, what?
We've never had apple juice here.
Hey, I want...
That phenomenon you said, yeah, that's a jujitsu, right?
Your kids are, some parent walks in with like the craziest you know like a 10-pound bag of gummies and it's the
kids birthday and all the kids are circling the bag eating it and you're
like holy shit you didn't rewards like every rewards like all right you've
earned a reward here's a sucker it's like no we don't yeah I want a sucker
you know right Matt Suza good morning Matt. People pull their kids
out of school for the very low probability of a school shooting but
don't pull them out of school for the very high probability of lack of
critical thinking. The irony. Yeah. It's a good point. Julian, I saw something the
other day about AI. About how AI is basically going to take everything over.
It's going to take over programming. It's going to take over this. It's going to take over that.
But the one thing AI will never be able to do is create communities. And they were basically saying
like, hey, that's like a crazy important thing. If you're not making community with what you're
doing, then you're missing the boat. And I was thinking to myself, well, I'm here every morning at 7 a.m. with these cats,
like the Barry McCalkiners and the Heidi Krooms.
And I come here every morning
and the Standys and the Christine's.
It wasn't my intention to build community,
but when I heard that, it kind of made me feel good.
I was like, okay, cool.
At least we have something that's real here,
interaction with people means.
Do you trip on that too? How far ahead you guys are on the curve of that of things that are sustainable and
will add unique value to planet earth.
The fact that you guys have a really healthy community.
I'm really grateful for that because you know, you go through a season of business where
you sometimes naturally you can shift towards wanting to grow the business more and more and more, right? Because of course, like it's nice
making extra money. It's great. But then you start to realize that-
And it's a great metric for success, right? Okay. I have 15 clients. I only had 10 last week.
That's correct. It's a great metric for success. But then what actually became more of a headache
was now having to onboard new people with how the culture is at street parking.
And that became such a headache because people just didn't get what we were trying to say.
So at this point, we're in this 30,000 member range, but it's all just like the top trickling
off.
So people jumping on, they want to try something new and fancy, but they're like, ah, but then
they struggle with the consistency and the simplicity of it're like, ah, but then they struggle with like the consistency
and the simplicity of it.
Well, should I not be doing more?
No.
But we're in a season where we're
done trying to entertain people and telling them
that they need to do more.
No, you don't.
You just are having a hard time adjusting to the changes.
Because all the changes you need to make
are not just in the gym. Like, it's a holistic change changes you need to make are not just in the gym.
Like it's a holistic change that you have to make.
But I think people choose one thing and to blame it on and then you know they leave.
But the community that we have the foundation of the community we have is very powerful.
And that's one thing that we're trying to focus on is going back to more of a backyard
barbecue feel
as opposed to like a restaurant feel, you know, because you're growing, street parking started, it's a very backyard barbecue feel. And then we've had these massive
events. You saw one at Fitness Freedom, we had one in Vegas, 500 people show up.
But then it's hard to really connect with our members that way. I really, I'm a very social
person. I really love having conversations like this. I hate when we
have big events and people like, yeah, they want to take pictures and all. But, you know, when I
can't really soak in the gravity of what they're telling me, Hey, you have changed our lives,
because then you have somebody else, there's a line of people wanting to tell you the same thing.
That feels horrible to me. You know, whereas opposed to if you're like at a backyard barbecue
you can have those conversations with each individual and have more depth to it
that's something that i would like to kind of go back to um there was nothing cheesy about that
event that was a cool event when you had at the ranch yeah i mean i know personally for you i saw
you you were running around like a fucking chef with an apron on you were running around like a madman I mean you were clearly you did everything you know from steer traffic to deliver food that you were to run a workout I mean but for the people who were there like it was cool.
Yeah, I'm glad you guys were able to check it out. there's so many, there's so much more competition now too. But honestly, I'm grateful. I'm grateful that
there's these other platforms out there that people can go dabble and try and find the tribe
and community. Because when street parking first started, we were the only ones, like there were
the dumbbell program, but now everyone's the dumbbell program. Everyone's trying to, they're
starting to realize like, oh, people are really busy. They have very limited time. Sometimes people have very limited space. And we're just here to support part of the
ecosystem in CrossFit of individuals that don't have the ability to go to the gym, you know,
and because that's our lifestyle. But even when we do travel, I love popping into gyms. I love
rolling up and paying the drop-in fee and just hanging out and being part of that community as
well. It's just, I love it, man.
I really love the space that we're in.
Did you ever think, clearly you guys are very familiar with CrossFit.
You never poo poo it.
You always give it credit.
You always, you have no problem saying the word CrossFit.
Some people are scared to say it.
You know, you guys are just like cousins.
You know what I mean?
You guys come together for barbecues and then go about your way.
Did you ever think it would be like that?
Did you ever think when you first started cross street parking that you'd be an adversary towards CrossFit?
Or do you ever feel that happen?
I think at first, like Mar has stated, I think it felt like its own thing.
And she was just trying to respect not using CrossFit
and she didn't know how they felt about it.
She's like, oh, are they gonna think
that we're trying to take stuff, anything away from them?
But as we've grown and we started seeing the support
from like Dave and even like Nicole Carol
and you for example, and all the people
that were part of the Level One seminar,
I think that was definitely way more validating for Murr
because she has such roots in the beginning of CrossFit.
Yeah.
You know, how much time she dedicated to the brand.
And I loved seeing her just kind of
see how much respect she's gotten from her peers
that she worked with or that she looked up to
for now being like recognizing like, oh, they're actually an adversary.
They're not talking smack about CrossFit.
They're not trying to throw it under the bus.
They get the messaging and we're, we're, we're going to stay true to that.
When that's actually, um, we believe in it still 100%.
So we love being an adversary.
Uh, Julie Jones, uh, one of the reasons I was convinced to join street
parking was because the community is open to people from all backgrounds
How many dwarfs do you have
Julian what was the question? How many dwarfs do you have dwarfs? Yeah
Um, I don't know how many dwarfs we have. I don't, it's not something I've tried to keep tally of.
You don't have that in your demographic.
When you and Miranda both competed at the highest level, obviously Miranda has been
around since the dawn of time with CrossFit, did the whole thing, seminars, flow masters,
games, employee, she held every role.
When Lazer died and Event One this year,
can you share anything about when you and Miranda
got together, any of your private conversations
you guys had about that, any thoughts you had about that?
I was on my way to go work out with my friend,
who's a pastor as well,
the guy who's been I've been meeting with weekly,
to go work out with him at his house when that happened.
And it rocked me.
Like I couldn't even focus on my workout.
It was, and then Murr and I had a conversation about it
and how, honestly, it's just heartbreaking man it
really really is and we were grateful that we weren't in the position that you
know Dave was in I send Dave a lot of messages during that time that we're here
I was here to support him whatever support he needed because just felt like
they it just felt like that that moment really tore the community even further.
And it's just tragic, man. It's sad.
Especially because it wasn't like...
Not that anyone deserves to die, but he was a really good dude.
You can see it in his mean, he's just fun.
He got along with the other people, you know, and I even thought about it from
the point, could you imagine if like you want your, your kids were competing in a
competition and that happened and they saw their brother, I even kind of, uh, you
know, saw from that perspective and that broke my heart that his brother was there.
Um, I would, you know, there's a lot of grief still happening.
You can see it.
And then, and then you are friends with Dick.
And so then you see, you know,
a lot of people obviously want to blame him as the direct,
understandably so as the director of the event.
So you're friends with him and then you're like,
holy shit, very few people want to do this,
but they're like, man, I wonder what he's going through.
He's going through so much, you know, and I think that sometimes we're all still human
at the end of the day.
And we try to deal with the circumstances as best we can.
I do know this, like Dave is the kind of person that that pained him just as much.
How could that not?
Like that was you saw saw it, his distress, his pain.
And you can, no matter what people may have called mistakes
or this and that, all I know is that his redemption
or we'll call it redemption or not,
he's gonna double down and protect,
you know, the brand moving forward.
If that's still a role,'re going to have them in.
He just cares, Dave cares.
He's always cared.
And maybe that did bring service to like, all right, you see it now happening, right?
With the PFFA, even CrossFit's like, okay, well, we're going to start our own version
of the PFFA.
Great.
Like if that's how the CrossFit sport is evolving, good.
You guys are having the right conversations for sure. But as a human being, Dave Castro, he's got a good
heart. And I know that he was actually reading the Bible as well. And about a year ago, when
we went out to, we went out to, where did we go? We went out to Idaho when we did that. Miranda was like live commentating with Sherwood when we were at
Madero's gym during the open workout.
You know, he was opening up about, he started, you know, reading the Bible
and we were having a conversation around that.
It's so good.
Maybe that was giving him the tools he needed to get through this moment.

Yeah, it's interesting.
He was on the show a couple weeks ago and I asked him that and he said, I'm not ready
to talk about that now, but that's a really good point you brought up.
He started reading that just prior.
Yeah, interesting.
Yeah.
And I would say, you know, one of the things that we were, I know I had text you on, if
I could speak my perspective to
the athletes. Yeah, like there's a lot of change happening. And I could see even as I watch your show, and I see some of the other things. So I keep up, I keep up with what's going on in the
community, because I care about the community still. And I just think that there's a lot of
people grieving still. And there's a lot of people that are expressing their grief and anger.
There's a lot of people that, you know, there's a lot of valid points on both sides.
But at the end of the day, like if you keep tearing the community apart, you know, with
the World Fitness League, it's like, gosh, do you guys know how expensive that's going
to be?
Like, do you guys like what's the longevity and sustainability or something like that?
Like no matter the well intention behind it, you know, I, it's my belief that it's
like, yeah, have, start having the right conversations with the people in, you know, it's not different
than any relationship.
Okay.
If you guys feel like there's an abusive relationship happening or you guys aren't feeling heard,
I think they're in a position to hear, but that stuff takes time.
Asking for immediate change just breeds resentment.
It's very clear that boundaries have been violated.
Athletes haven't been feeling like they've been protected.
But then they contradict themselves in so many ways
because then in other events
that are outside the CrossFit Games, it's like, are you guys speaking up as much as you would be in this
competition? So it feels a little, there's a hypocrisy that it feels like. But I hope
that it can resolve itself because yeah, I think people are just angry still.
The senior point is like, there was an accident in a town at a four-way stop and now the town wants to put in 30 stoplights everywhere. And it's like, what like just an instant,
you're saying that there's some instant reactions. Do you think that that's what the World Fitness
League is? You think it's just a reaction to a Lazardine? as opposed to something that's, you know, well thought out and sustainable?
Is that what you were alluding to?
Or?
Well, it's just the drastic shift makes me question the reasoning behind it.
Because from what I've been hearing is that that $14 million was supposed to be used to
start like some kind of nonprofit gym or some
kind of gym for the community out in Nashville? Is that correct? I heard it at first. I thought
it was supposed to be a gym for little kids, but then after listening more closely, I think it was
supposed to be a gym that were high level athletes could go train and all the profits then would go
to kids. Interesting. So to me, it's like, it's a beautiful mission. Like that, what, what needed to steer from that, you know, what, you know, and it's like, Oh, well, another opportunity for athletes to compete. It's like, all right, look, there's already a lot of opportunities for athletes to go compete, you know, and it just, it just feels, it feels rushed and it just feels rushed. And I'm just,
at this point, I'm an observer. It's not, it's not something that I would have personally done.
But yeah, I think athletes are just angry. And here's another reality too, that these athletes
aren't recognizing as well. They do carry some weight,
but at the end of the day, like the communities, the CrossFit affiliates are who carry the most
weight. They're the ones that are funding all the things that are happening for everything,
the level one seminars, you know, and the messaging behind that. The sport aspect of it,
how sustainable is that really, right? Especially what's the longevity of an athlete?
One of the things that I had to wrestle with was the reality of the exit of
competition and that was a hard transition for me.
Because it's like, well, my whole identity is rooted in being a competitive athlete.
But in reality, you start to see, you bring up a great point.
I think you shared like a Dana White perspective on it.
That was like, this is just an opportunity
for the athletes.
It's not a career.
And I agree with that.
Because for me, when I qualified in 2017,
and I chose to like, I'm not going, like I'm done.
I'm actually gonna focus on street parking now.
Like I recognize that was a beautiful time. That was an opportunity. I proved to myself all I wanted to like, I'm not going like I'm done. I'm actually gonna focus on street parking now. Like I recognize that was a beautiful time.
That was an opportunity.
I proved to myself all I wanted to prove to myself.
I wasn't willing to sacrifice the things that I want
in my personal life,
given that I was just to become a father.
Mer and I started a business together.
And I didn't wanna sacrifice more time
to go to that next level of things.
I recognize I was getting older.
I'm like about to be 27 years old at the time. How many more years do I really have ahead of me? And that was
one of the greatest decisions that I ever could have done channeling that kind of mindset
into this new venture in life. But if you still hold on to it becomes harder to detach
from it, because even detaching from it took three, four years for me to not feel like
I had to fulfill some kind of expectation that maybe I was putting on me.
But then there would also be people, when are you going to come back to the competition
floor?
And so you start to like, Oh, I got to go back, right?
Like, clearly I got to go.
No, I don't have to go back and do that.
That was a season of my life.
And I'm grateful for this new, more meaningful part of my life.
You're a perfect example of that someone who took the
opportunity and parlayed it into something else along the same avenues of passion, you know, tailor self the exact same thing.
Just open you were you met, you know, you were training with
Miranda, you met her you were open to this thing of starting
your passion. When they're when you hit the first obstacle with her pregnancy,
you didn't turn away from it. You're like, well, hey, it's what we're doing. And so
you turn that opportunity into a career, into a life. And it's funny, you see
the people around us who are doing that, you know, whether, you know, it's going
back in the day when Rob Orlando made molds, right? Or look at what Bill Henninger and Katie Henninger have done, right?
I mean, they made the Amazon of fitness.
And so it is out there.
It's interesting.
On one hand, I want to tell people like, hey, always keep your eyes open for it.
But then also being a professional athlete at the highest level, competing at the highest
level, you pretty much can't keep your eye on everything.
Right.
You can't keep an eye on everything. And you know, like a perfect example, right?
Like you have, you know.
Even look at the LMNT, sorry, there's a hundred of them.
The RX bar, that guy made $600 million.
Oh, big time.
I mean, look at Perfect Food Bar, right?
I think that started in our space as well, I feel like.
You have naturally people's public opinion, kids sway a lot of your future outcomes. So for example, you have, uh,
Justin Maderas wins the games two years in a row. He was like on cloud nine. And then he was just
like, Hey, I just, maybe I just want to have a girlfriend. Maybe I just want something different meaning in life.
But then he continues to compete, not in those top positions anymore.
And now look at what that's left for people to criticize him on.
Right.
You know, could you imagine if he was just like, yeah, I won the game twice.
Cool, I'm moving on.
I'm going to share a different purpose.
But maybe that his passion was to continue to compete.
And that's where sometimes the question I would pose out to athletes, like, what are
you trying to fulfill?
What are you trying to fulfill?
You know, and whose standards are you trying to fulfill?
I can respect the athletes that are out there saying, like, you know what, I have, Malibran
was a perfect example.
She's like, you know what, I'm good. This is consuming me. This is not what I signed up for. I'm doing something
else because yeah, to be that level of greatness requires sacrifice that sometimes it's hard
to come back from the struggle, the mental struggles that come from letting go of that
kind of discipline and selfishness to then
something else, you know, I can't even imagine that transition.
And you and I both know a lot of people who've been struggling with that for years,
like years and years. Yeah, it's interesting. It looks like people have everything.
Do you think it's okay? I remember Mike Tyson when they asked Mike Tyson,
they're like, hey man, you should get some therapy.
And he's like, no, what if they fix me?
I won't be able to kill people in the ring anymore.
I did see that comment.
He didn't want to have it in her piece.
I don't know.
Do you think it's sometimes I hear CrossFiters say there's things besides CrossFit,
but do you think it's okay to
your 22 year old male and you know as much as this might be blasphemous just put it all on the line
like I don't care if I get emotionally hurt I'm okay with just just completely selling like being
singularly focused on this you know what I mean just pursue this and if I fail I fail but then I
know I gave it my all like yeah there's
there's I think we all need that knowing what that feels like because if not
you'll have regrets in your life like man I wish I would have give my all I
think we all just want to give our all into something right like when you get
my balance I'm like fuck you balance your 22 fuck balance go crazy now no
what I will say is that the only thing looking back, you
know, and is that the spiritual the spirituality and my my walk
with God is something that would have I think would have benefited
me greatly during that my youth during the 20s early 20s. I'm
still young, which is great, but during the 20s and stuff like
that, because I think it would help me focus even more on what I wanted to
accomplish out of life. Um, yeah.
Julian, um, I heard of, uh,
Vivek Ramaswamy talking about how men go through, uh, cycles of, um,
gathering and serving gathering and serving. And he was saying, he was basically showing Joe Biden. He's like, Hey, to okay but I need to get a couple more at 35 now do you like I don't remember
having any really much service I don't know but do you feel do you feel that
ebb and flow the servitude and the collecting like okay I want a house okay
but I want to do this and I want to surrender myself and do this and then
you oh but I want to have this for my kids. Do you feel that as you get older, those cycles?
Yeah, right now, um, it's, uh,
I, yes, yes. A selfless journey, right?
Because that's the most rewarding is when you're able to just give, you know,
because, um, giving to your marriage, giving to your kids,
giving to, um, your communities your kids, giving to your communities.
There's so much fulfillment in that.
There's so much, right?
And there's so much freedom in that.
Yeah, freedom.
There's so much freedom.
You don't have to deal with Julian or Sevan anymore.
It's awesome.
Well, freedom, sometimes people will take freedom
as being like, I do what I want and I do, you know,
and if I don't get my way, then, you know, screw you. I don't want to be a part of you it's like well there's not freedom in that
you know that that's like very um people people don't um gravitate towards that kind of attitude
and energy you know being selfless is it's a beautiful thing even right now like I I
we built this barn gym so we're in our new home home. We put a lot of money into it for our long-term here.
Is this a forever home, you think?
Like you'll be there for, yeah.
Oh yeah, I mean, it's, we built a barn right outside of here
that's like 2000 square feet.
It looks huge, and it's got like a 24 foot,
like a 24 foot wide rig.
And I using it to help some of the kids
from the high school here at this church
that our boys are going to. And also hosting, I'll be using it to help some of the kids from the high school here at this church that our boys are going to, you know, and also hosting, you know, I'll be using it to host Bible studies
for men during the summer.
Like I was doing it at street parking this past summer and that was super successful.
I had like 15 guys rolling up and we would do 45 minutes to an hour of reading scriptures
around fitness, which is actually pretty unique, you know, taking care of the temple. And then we would go into,
I'd lead them through a workout. And from there, then we,
I would bring my smokers out and we barbecue.
So it was like reading fitness barbecue and it was like two hour long,
um, gathering and it was amazing. It was amazing.
Is this all we're using?
Go ahead. Sorry. Go ahead. Go ahead. Yeah. So I'll be using, you know, I built up, you know,
a nice little facility here to continue to get back and help. Yeah, that's it.
This is a crazy video. Isn't that funny? But that's real life, you know,
I can relate to it so much
and you got one behind you. I like Miranda's got the hand back. And then
in between sets, the last thing you want to do is get that thing, even lifting that was
probably hard. You're like, Oh God, do I even have energy to roll this?
Well, look at that. Yeah. It's a huge struggle.
Yeah. You leaned on it for a second.
Yeah. Yeah. That's our space. Yeah. That's dope. What's that window up top? See up on
the top left there's a window. Where's that lookout? Is that just to the outside light from the outside
or is that? Yeah, let me show you. I'll show you. I'll show you a little bit of what's going on over
here. Yeah, that that place looks awesome. That's like over there. Oh Yeah, that's beautiful, you know, yeah, it's a good good space we've been like a guest house
So I originally we thought we're gonna put my mom in there, but I was like now we can still use the space
So yeah, the barns over there. It's like 50 feet deep 2,000 square feet. It's it's great and this hill you hear
We use for a bunch of workouts in itself. It just keeps us fit, you know, yeah, that's awesome
What was that green building up there? Is that a neighbor? Yeah, it's a neighbor. There's like seven
people that live. It's actually kind of funny. Our neighbor here, he is stage
manager for Metallica. Oh wow. Mm-hmm. He's like in his 60s and they're just nice
people. Is Metallica still out touring? I guess. He's never home. They're always traveling.
He's building that building. I can't really say anything about it because we built the whole
barn gym, but it's like a golf simulator is in the bottom and then the RV storage parking and then
a suite, like an office up top for their artwork and stuff. It's cool. They do cool stuff.
Geez, look at this. April. Oh, your neighbors gonna be gone all
of April.
That's geez. Wow. Yeah, busy.
Yeah, this is a you know, we're the youngest couple here for
sure. We're waiting on this other couple that you know,
this Mormon couple from the haze of hills like a pest control
business, but he they bought like three lots and they're building like this mega mansion.
You left like with two basketball courts like an indoor lazy river. It's crazy man. And they have kids around our age or our son's age.
So that'd be cool. It's like hey if you guys want to get fitness you guys can come over here.
If you guys want to go do all that side recreational stuff go ahead and go over there. Awesome. Anything else you want to mention?
God, I feel like we could do,
I need to stay in touch with you every six months.
I forgot how young you are, 35.
Man, you've done so much already, Julian.
It's crazy.
Yeah, thank you, thank you.
Anything you want to leave anyone with?
No, I hope that what people picked up from today is just to
keep finding ways to grow. Obviously, I hope my story helps others as well,
and with this vulnerability that I'm sharing. Keep fighting fighting for keep fighting for your marriages keep letting go of
you know being your own your own god I guess you know because um yeah it's it's family keep
fighting for family oh sorry you're saying this thing. That's so nice. I'll take it back to superficial. Congratulations on the Savage one release. Oh
Thank you. Yeah, that was super fun. Do bears a bear is a great dude and you know, they
Yeah, I look forward to that drop in and
It's been cool to come out with that stuff

people. It's a great partnership. Yeah, that's all. All right, dude. Yeah, I'm grateful and grateful
for you. And yeah, thank you. We'll keep in touch. Okay. Okay. Say hi to Miranda for me.
Thanks, man.
Absolutely.
All right.
Take care.
Ciao.
William Alcaraz.
Wow.
Co-founder of street parking.
Wow.
Look at you.
Do you always have that mic there?
No, I had to move it because I had to move places.
I'm trying to figure out how this is going to work.
You're all fancy and set up.
Yeah.
God, I didn't that was pretty I didn't see that podcast going like that at all.
I didn't either.
That was good.
Yeah.
I want to show you something like this.
This is kind of along the line of what he was talking about.
This is Bob Weir.
I guess he was one of the Grateful Dead guys.
Okay.
Okay.
And I don't know if you know this, but when I was when I was in college, like there were
dudes who just collected Grateful Dead tapes and and there was another band called Fish and
so people would go in so I would have these friends who would have like a
hundred different concerts recorded onto cassette tape. Oh my god okay crazy
crazy shit. Not tickets I'm curious particularly about what's called the
taper tickets first First of all,
what is a taper ticket and why do you do it? Well, way back in the 70s when people started
recording our shows, first off our record company said, you got to shut this down. And we looked at
the situation and said, you want to shut it down, you come in and shut it down. We're not, we don't want to be cops.
And they looked at the situation and said,
well, we don't want to shut it down either.
You know, how that worked out is, you know,
the tapes went out and they just promoted what we did.
But there were a lot of people who resented having
to peer around microphone stands to see the band.
So we figured, okay, let's put all the tapers in one section.
I don't know of any band that allows people to come in, in mass as it were, as a whole section, to take the performance.
That's considered bad business.
Well, you know, we were trying, people tried to persuade us of that, but it never worked out to be bad business. Well, you know, we were trying to, people tried to persuade us
of that, but it never worked out to be bad business for us. Yeah, maybe we didn't sell
as many records as we might have, but we didn't make great records. We were real good at playing
live and that's what people wanted. And the tapes of those, you know, people would pass them to
their friends, to their siblings and stuff like that. And we'd get new fans.
What about tickets?
I'm curious.
They sold taper tickets.
Oh my God.
I can't tell you how much I love that.
They just put them all in one section.
And they were like, yeah.
I'm like, fuck you.
Go ahead, forward.
Yeah, go ahead.
Yep, do what you gotta do.
Hey, that would be like if CrossFit had like a steroid comp it like a like like
Simultaneously ran one like if you don't want to be drug tested you could compete over here
Yeah, just get them to get him a different set of lanes and just let him try. Yeah. Yeah. Here you go
Your competitors. Yeah, that would be crazy. I love it. Double microphones and louder performance were a huge factor.
They were on the cutting edge for concert technology.
Wow.
I always thought the Grateful Dead was like Metallica Nirvana type.
And then I listened to their music and they are not that.
No, I went to their music and they are not that no I went to
probably like five concerts I don't ever remember the taper section I don't
really remember anything they were known and as a jam band and so they were
different every show Wow Seve should sell casting couch tickets. I should oh god, that'd be awesome
Yeah, I didn't you couch fuck what other people think no, no this one's good
Uh, fuck what other people think that's the thing like so what if you let people record that's just the thing everyone's just on autopilot they can't do it because it's bad we'll lose money yeah and it's
like no uh for caleb uh to stop wearing the lez beru hoodie get me a hoodie that i'll wear every
day and then i'll stop wearing this hoodie. This is the problem. Everybody complains about this hoodie, but they don't realize that this is my favorite hoodie. I like it. Thank you. How old is that
hoodie? Over a year old. My brother got it for me when he started working for Subaru. I mean that
logo looks like it's from 1960s. Like it's a Jetsons logo. That sweater, when I see you wear
that sweatshirt, I think that it's like 25 years old. I don't think it's a year old.
They probably haven't changed this design in 25 years.
It is a great hoodie.
It's so comfortable.
It fits great.
It doesn't shrink.
You know, no one cares.
When I think of like a Subaru's being for Dykes, the thing is, is like they're for not Dykes too.
It's not like, it's not a douche car. Like a Prius got a little douche in it. You're a douche.
You're probably a douche. You probably like, you know, your kid's on his fourth booster.
You wear eight masks. You're a social justice warrior. Like Subaru, it's like's like yeah lesbians drive them and guys who are okay
with themselves with their like sexuality who want a good reliable car
yeah or people that like to just work on their they like to tune their car they
like like the STI thing like the what is it uh or maybe people who just like to
tune up pussy yeah that too man you just want want to do like yeah, yeah, dude
I love I need to bring that that phrase back tune up my wife's pussy
All right shows over
Oh
I drive a Subaru. Yeah, I could see that. Yeah, there you go. Boom, which one you have an ascent or you have an outback?
No, I don't I but wrong Subarus are super gay.
I don't know. I don't, I don't say, I,
I think of them as masculine.
I think of them as kind of like masculine,
like in a weird way.
Like they're the, they're the high testosterone Prius.
Like it's gay, but it's like, but it's, but it's like it,
you know.
This is hilarious.
When Bryson got his Subaru, someone at the gym
started hiding rainbow magnets on it every day.
Oh, that's awesome.
That is awesome.
I love that.
Yeah, I would do a Subaru.
What do they even do? They make a is there like a good Subaru is
there like a baller Subaru it's the one that Taylor has actually it's like the
outdoor version like what's the most expensive Subaru they have mmm let me
see it's probably at the STI oh yeah they got one that looks euro and shit the soltera
hmm
SUVs Cars, wow, they make some cheap ass cars there
They're very cheap, but they're also like the safest some of the safest cars you can get along with like the Volvo obviously
Wow, yeah the outback wilderness. Yeah that one. Yeah okay.
Wow they actually put a dirty car on there. That's pretty cool.
That's pretty cool.
It's pretty funny. All the people that work in the, they also have like a, like an automatic braking and then like the lane management. So like if you just
like, you can just set it on cruise control and it'll recognize the lines and
then it'll just auto drive for you basically. You just have to like adjust
the steering wheel every once in a while.
Car play.
Oh, it's wireless car play too.
And the new ones.
Hey, do you, so I, God, I hope my wife's not listening to this part.
Both our cars have it. So when you walk into the car, your phone attaches.
Bluetooth. Yeah.
And my wife's connected hers to both cars.
Yeah.
So I just disconnected mine like like like.
I just it's just so fucking annoying.
It's like because then you have to reset the Bluetooth.
I'm over it every time.
But like, if I drive next to it, like, like,
we'll be past each other.
My car will pick up her phone.
Or like if we're driving somewhere together,
my car is like, I'm like always like on,
I just disconnected mine.
I never even explained to him.
Like, fuck you.
Like I'm like, I guess I just don't do car music.
I just, I just play the speed.
Like when I'm in my car and I want to do something on my phone
I do through the speaker the fucking phone or I plug it in with the 98
Live at the radio. Yeah, or I plug it in with the yeah, or I plug it in with it. We have the radiest
USB-c cable that comes from the car both I had to put both in and it's like
But I've just like
For her it's like, but I've just like, for her, it's nothing.
Her phone jumping around onto every car. Like every time I get in the car,
whatever she's doing in the house, whatever car I'm in,
I'm now doing it too, until I pull off the driveway.
And then it crackles off until it's your car and away.
Yeah.
And it's like, fuck.
How about you get one car and I get one car?
Yeah, exactly.
I don't care which one it is.
How about I just get one so just like once in a while I could enjoy this technology. Nope. One of
them please. Nope. Seve, what's your go-to music these days? I don't know. I'll play it for you.

podcast why just because she is she's she's squirrely she's squirrely. She's squirrely.
Like she might not talk or she might talk shit to me or whatever.
She's squirrely.
I wonder if she's going to bring her boyfriend on.
He's pretty funny.
Yeah, Gracie's dreamy.
Yeah.
I hope so.
He's fucking hilarious.
It's like when Emily Rohl comes on and her husband starts talking shit in the background. I like that but they got the roles reversed with Gracie and her dude
She she's the one who talks to shit
Exactly like Emily's more the whooping girl and and her boyfriend is more the whooping boy
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Emily's husband's funny as shit
He is funny. I like him
Why do people do this
Change their profile picture to a color. Oh, I don't know that'll be question number one
yeah
when I was looking at her profile yesterday to
Just kind of get stuff for the show. I noticed that Rad Global blocked me.
The shoe company?
Yeah, the shoe company.
Oh, what's their Instagram?
Rad Global.
Rad underscore global.
Oh, rad underscore global.
I don't even see them.
Does that mean they blocked me too? Probably I see rad running
Yeah, I think they made some other Instagram accounts for their
Running or training or some other nonsense rad global Instagram if I search into Google. Oh, yeah
They did fucking block me. Why would they block me? Sorry. This page isn't available. I don't know
I liked their shoes. I'll say that I didn't they're fucking hideous
I was hanging out with dave the other day and he was wearing them. I'm like
These are like what the how do you go out in public in this dude? It's borat shit, dude
It's it's fucking oh
Yeah, dude, what's that movie bener's in where he's a model?
Fuck I can't remember
Ben Stiller model movie
Zoolander goddamn. Yeah, dude. It's Zoolander shit, dude. It was crazy. The shoe he was wearing
I was like, dude, this is the are you talking about the running shoes? I don't know what they were but he was wearing them. I'm like what you only wear people give you for free
These are hideous, dude. Let me see if I can find I'll see if I can find their shoe
Thank you, Adam, you've only been an advocate for the shoe. That's hilarious. Yes. Thank you
I don't think I've ever said anything bad about you for the one
Green tier shoe is way cooler than anything fucking rad makes fuck off no way
Okay, look at this you have a problem with this shoe
Yes, I
Think that is sick
Resorted I mean I could never fit me because I have fucking man feet
But those shoes are so dumb. Let me show you let me show you the rad shoes
You just had it. Okay, that's fine. These are these are these their shoes
These are not the ones Dave was wearing but these are ridiculous, too. They were probably the runners
Let's see if I'll find a picture
Let's see if I can help find a picture. God damn, those are just hideous.
Dude, it looks like those are made of microplastics that lower your testosterone.
The whole shoe is just gross.
Comfortable, functional, durable, well worth the price.
I like those rad training shoes. I got a pair of the running shoes. They're white.
I just can't wear white shoes because I'm going to get them dirty.
And I hate when I get my shoes dirty.
How can you can't look at...
On Rogue, you can't organize by worst, most relevant, most helpful, highest
low.
You can't go just lowest.
Oh really?
Yeah, most relevant.
Oh, I didn't know that.
I like that feature because I just want to read all the shit reviews.
I'm extremely disappointed that a pair of hundred fifty dollar shoes can start coming
apart within three months.
Really?
I think that's fine. That can happen, right?
Yeah, it is kind of annoying. Like my born primitives, I've had them for over a year and they haven't come apart yet. And I've like, fucked them up pretty good. So I that's that would be my standard for shoes.
That would be my standard for shoes.
Hey, if a pair of shoes is comfortable, I don't give a fuck when it comes apart. Like I wear a lot of Victos and the sole lasts like two months at the most.
Really?
Before it's just smooth.
You know what I mean?
Before it's just like I'm just on ice.
I mean, it's still comfortable, but like I don't give a shit.
As long as like it doesn't hurt my feet, I'm good.
That's all I...
Yeah.
Man.
Oh, shit. That's not I... yeah. Oh shit.
That's not a good sign.
Some fucking
104 year old dude from Ireland
likes the same music I like. That's fucking
bad. Oh shit.
Oh man, I'm fucked.
You're old now.
Today I ran into... So I started going back to my affiliate back here in my hometown.
And somebody that I used to coach when they would go to kids classes at my affiliate,
like 10 plus years ago, is now coaching classes at my affiliate.
Damn.
Yeah. Damn. I was tripping. I was like, what are you doing? Like, I'm
coaching today. Like, what the fuck? I was like, what do you
know? What do you even do now? She's like, Oh, I'm in PT school
now. And I coach like, holy fuck, dude. I remember she, she never said a word in kids class.
She was like the quietest person and her brother was like,
he was the most talkative.
Dude, in six, in six, in the next five years,
she's gonna be pregnant.
You're gonna be like, what the fuck?
Yeah, for sure.
She'll be married by the time she's done with PT school,
probably.
I wonder if I should send them a DM telling me to block me on globe rad running. Just block them all block you on all accounts. The
other day this the other day I don't know how I came across it. I was I was
looking at comments somewhere was either on YouTube or Instagram, I can't remember,
and this chick says, I blocked him years ago about me, right?
Yeah.
And I'm thinking to myself, I've even had my account for years, I don't think.
So I go and look and she hadn't blocked me.
And then like two months later, I see someone else said I blocked him.
And I go to this person's account.
I'm like, oh, they did block me.
And I'm thinking, I don't even know this person.
I've never seen this person.
I've never like, and then I was like tripping on the fact that I was like, oh, you could
just fucking like, if you just don't want someone in your sphere, you just block them.
Yeah.
Which I thought I was so confused. I thought you blocked people because you didn't want them to see your shit
like I'm assuming globe rat globe globe radical blocked me because
They don't want me seeing their shit trolling them
Right. Yeah. Yeah
But you could just block people so you don't have to see their shit.
Can't you just like avoid people's shit?
I don't know.
It was fascinating to me that someone blocked me that I didn't know.
I don't care about comments.
David, do you really need, I can't tell if you're stupid or if you really want me to
explain this to you.
Or both.
Sorry, I didn't mean to rule out.
You could be stupid and need to explain to you. If your algorithm is going to bring you a person you don't like, you gotta block.
I'm trying to think if I'm trying to think I think the only people I've blocked are people
like I just don't want seen my shit.
Okay, go ahead, Caleb.
I don't think about you at all.
Amazing.
I remember when I saw that I was watching that.
You know what I mean?
Like I think at the time I was like, because that guy goes off on him.
Yeah, the whole set.
Like I didn't I got to the end of the elevator scene, but like he's like, I can't believe
you did that.
You I have so many good ideas. I'm the best fucking guy on the planet blah blah blah blah blah. He goes. I feel sorry for you. I
Don't think about you at all and then leaves the elevator
It's a good show
Blocking is gay facts. I love gay
Great series for the Binge Bros.
Oh, yeah.
I think we can only do, I really only want to do current shit.
Have you noticed that David only gets restraining orders?
The law version of being of being blocked real-life version
Stanley's profile pictures just progressively get hotter. Yeah
Put a dollop on that. A dollop of sour cream on that.
I thought about editing that.
That almost didn't come out.
That almost didn't come out. That almost didn't come out.
Maybe not.
Oh man, really?
Drag out the word dollop again?
Alright, fuck it.
Dollop.
Okay, so
some dude
attacked
some dude drove his car in New Orleans and ran over some people.
Then someone detonated a Tesla in Vegas in front of the Trump casino.
Great footage.
Great footage.
Great footage.
The best footage.
And then someone got, someone shot up a club in New York City.
Oh, I didn't hear about that one.
Yeah, last night.
I think 10 people dead.
Meanwhile, I'm going to go to Home Depot today and get another 20 bags of chicken manure.
Does anyone do what I do?
I just open the bag of chicken manure and dump it around the base of the tree.
That's what I do? I just open the bag of chicken manure and dump it around the base of the tree. That's what I do.
And then my logic in my brain is over the next three years as it rains and waters on that,
it's like a tea and it soaks down to the roots.
That's all I do.
Yeah, I think that's how you're supposed to do it.
Yeah.
And once a year, that's all it.
Once a year, I try to get 50 bags of chicken manure and I try to do it around raining time so it doesn't piss my wife off because it's
just stinks around our house when I do that and if it rains once on them the
smell goes away so I just and yesterday I um oh look that's where Pat and I
crossed paths in gardening and Pat yesterday I went I went to Home Depot
they didn't have chicken manure so I got steer manure instead but I always feel like steer maneuvers like for pussies
I feel like that's something that you know what I mean
Really? It's just I think chicken manure is like oh that shit will burn a fucking hole
It's like you use too much you burn a hole in something
Hmm like more of a potent fertilizer. I didn't know that. Oh, that's so funny. Don't blow out your back my back
I did my back was so fucking sore this morning
Yeah
great
Turns out the driver of the exploding car was an army vet and a one-time green beret. Yeah, and so was the
The guy who drove through the through Bourbon Street he was an army vet too he
He was in I guess he served for a couple years and then
Got out and then was barred from reenlistment for a little while and then eventually joined the reserves
But I hadn't really done anything
What the green break was you barred for reenlistment doing bad shit?
I hadn't really done anything for the green beret. What, is the bar for reenlistment doing bad shit?
Yeah, you can, there's like a number of reasons as to why you'd get barred for reenlistment, but...
Are they muslims? Are these guys muslims?
So the guy, the Louisiana guy, he was converting to Islam.
And so, I mean, he even had the ISIS flag on the back of his truck.
He was like, when he was driving,
it was on the tailgate.
Wow.
And then the other guy.
Yeah.
And I guess he had a few other people in his crew.
He was supposed to detonate some IEDs from his,
from the cab of the truck,
but he decided to get out and start shooting
at the cops instead.
So the two or three IDs that he had set up or the other people had set
up for him didn't go off.
Oh, that's dumb.
Did he, so he fucked the plan up.
He totally fucked a plan up, dude.
The first, if I have IDs and I, and I'm setting them off, I'm not getting out of
the truck until I set them up.
Well, where are well where are they where
were they just like they were just on other places on the other place oh my god what a
fucking jackass yeah dude come on you have a plan i'm gonna get push the button and they just didn't
go off that's also very possible yeah oh. Oh Jesus, oh Jesus.
I have a pair of New Balance.
Nice. That's fucking hilarious.
Oh my god.
Bob! Listen, dude.
Listen. I love you.
You're welcome to stay in the show and listen for as long as you want and talk shit.
You cannot say you like the same music as me
and fucking wear New Balance, dude.
and have that profile pic.
New Balance. The have that profile pick.
New Balance the fuck is wrong with you. New Balance is like like one degree better than uh Rad Global.
Okay. I'm a rad guy. Hey Patrick you should probably go read the news again
Hey Patrick, you should probably go read the news again. Because you're wrong. He was not the only person.
Listen, JR likes fucking Rad Global. All you have to do is put a fucking wig on JR and he's fucking a seven.
He's fuckable.
You put Demi Moore's hair on JR and a set of bolt-ons and I'd fuck him eight ways from Sunday.
My one friend, my fucking one friend that likes Rad Global.
Caleb's the only thing that looks masculine
that's ever worn a pair of Rad Global.
Stop it.
Jesus Christ almighty.
Oh my God.
JR, Jesus Christ.
JR played basketball, he's probably got those retarded feet where like the big toe and the small toe sit on
top of the other three toes in the middle.
I would not be surprised.
I would not be surprised.
JR is one of those people like you never want to take his feet off.
Yeah, yeah.
He's a socks guy for sure.
Yeah, he's like, I'm perfect. If you see my feet, it's gonna ruin everything
That's right, yeah, sorry
Uh
He is believed to have joined the green berets as a communication specialist in january of 2006
That's the guy the tesla the tesla guy. Oh, okay. In front of the Trump? Yeah. Yeah,
that guy's a retard. Well, I don't know what his plan was, but he did. His shit was super ineffective.
Did you see even Elon was like, yeah, I don't know why you why he thought the explosives are going to
work because then like a Tesla cyber truck is like indestructible it all used was propane tanks some gas
cans and some fireworks and he just lit them off in the trunk and basically what
happened was because it was like because that truck is so sound it just like shot
all of the explosives vertically and just and nothing like it didn't even
shatter the glass on the on the doors of Trump Tower. Yeah, that's crazy. It's just silly
Hey, um, these two are retarded
And that guy was that guy Muslim? I
Haven't heard anything about that yet. I just know that he was a green beret for a little bit and his wife
He I guess his wife came out and said yeah, I hadn't heard from him in a couple days. So didn't think anything of it
What like if you're Muslim, you're a terrorist, right? I mean for sure dude
Let me read that if little freezer if you're okay if you're Muslim, it doesn't mean you're a terrorist
But if you're a terrorist you're Muslim
Yes, okay, there you go
So like if it was just a white guy who blew himself up, he's just fucking retarded, something's
wrong.
Yeah, he's like, he's probably some liberal mill guy that everybody hates and he just
like, I can't believe Trump won.
Yes, yes.
But if you're blow something up in your Muslim, like it's Allah Akbar.
Allah Akbar, that's right.
Listen, if you're in a fucking
crowded mall somewhere or something and you hear someone yell that, run. It's a fucking deck dude.
That's like the last thing. Does it mean God is great? Uh, no, uh, I don't know. Maybe it is.
No, I don't know. Maybe it is.
Let's see. It means yeah, God is the greatest. God is greater.
There you go.
I think, Pup, I think, Pup, I think yesterday I saw, not Tom Massey, I saw Kennedy being interviewed.
Yeah.
Senator Kennedy. And he basically said he couldn't tell, he knows what's, he knows details and he just can't release them yet.
But he all but said it was a crew of dudes for sure I think I've
seen that there were two men and that hmm they originally said it was a lone
man and then they they basically said hey it's not a lone man right I've seen
I've seen people that have footage that say that there's two men and a woman
that worse the ones placing the IEDs around Bourbon Street.
If you're not following like Atlas News or Northern Provisions or Real News No Bullshit
like any of that, then you're fucking dumb.
You can't be, you can't take anything from Fox News or CNN or anything, any of the local
channels.
