uh you you better uh uh stop uh fooling around um this this instagram account has um been i started following it's been popping up on my um feed quite a bit um uh before i started following it and i started following, it's been popping up on my, um, feed quite a bit. Um, uh, before I started following it and I started following it, it's called Seth jump ship and ship training, jump ship training. And today, uh, it looks like he does a podcast or something. And I saw this post of his, and I just thought it was cool because it goes back to, and he talks about the main site video. And this is the video nasty girls that got me started. Here we go. Here's Seth himself. Crappy old main site. And you could And this is the video nasty girls that got me started. Here we go. Here's Seth himself.

The old main site. And you could find this wave file of nasty girls. And this along with, I don't know, 25 other original videos out of the original HQ were like, just essentially the demos that people would try to figure out what a pace of a workout look like, what the intensity should look like, because when you're just reading the old workouts off the website.

It's interesting to hear him talk about this, and he called it the crappy old website. The website was amazing, very easy to use, easy to navigate, but I like what this guy's doing. I've been liking all of his posts, and this goes back. He's pointing at the old days where we watched nicole carroll annie sakamoto and eva t do a workout and then we had to basically figure it out we had to go online we had to dig through the website we had to figure out what ring muscle-ups were what air

squats are what i think it was hand cleans and you had to learn all that shit on your own and uh it makes it uh it made the journey of becoming a CrossFitter a wonderful experience. And I like it that he's taken us back to those to those roots, to those roots. In other news, Athena Perez from Scaled Nation, a big name in the CrossFit community. the CrossFit community. She is, uh, on a mission to lose, um, a hundred pounds using, uh, Andrew Hiller as a personal coach. Uh, she celebrates today at 30 days, the first 30 days she's lost a 25 pounds. So congratulations to Athena and, uh, congratulations to Hiller. It's pretty cool. It's an unlikely pair, which makes the journey even more fun. Our friend,

friend of the podcast, Hunter McIntyre, I saw him doing a box jump and the kind of box jump he's doing here is the kind where you... Alright guys, we're just going to do some jumps. You jump straight leg and it gives you kind of the effect that you're floating.

Have you guys seen people do that? It makes it look like your vertical's insane. So here he goes. Hunter's gonna do the jump. Gotta keep it pretty vertical. Not bend the knees. Notice he has the box against the wall. He's saying you don't bend your knees. Oh! That was my hand going through the wall And he wipes out and his hand goes through the wall Fuck He says an expletive And he shows us the hole in the wall

That's what happens when an agile athlete Jumps, has the box appropriately placed And it's a 24 inch box And he shows you something uh he's tough enough and strong enough he puts a hole in the wall well what's interesting is also in my feed basically just right after that uh popped up this clip and i had to uh i had to uh rip it and put it onto a separate account but here you go a box jumps are no joke man look at this lady this lady jumps on a box uh she doesn't have the proper agility skill balance to uh navigate uh this movement and it uh leads to injury so two

two failed box jumps um with different uh outcomes uh the good news is news is this video continues if you find her account and she shows her recovery from that serious injury. All righty. Officially, I'd like to say Jason Kalipa is officially old. Jason Kalipa, here he is working out with pants on. Now, that's the kind of thing old dudes do. That's the kind of stuff that us old guys do. We just we just work out in pants. And I saw he's got a couple other videos where he works out in pants now, and I'm sure he's going to defend himself and be like, well, these are special workout, blah, blah. Listen, you're old. Look

at the shoes you're working out in. Look at you're just old and that's OK. You're still you're old. Look at the shoes you're working out in. You're just old. And that's okay. You're still fit and you're brown belt and you're an inspiration. But you're old as dirt. Okay. Laura Horvat. I think this was on RX Smartgears Instagram account. She has a jump rope.

Yeah. You take good care of it. Sure. I had it since 2000, I think, 16. Oh has a jump rope. Yeah. You take good care of sure. I had it since 2000 I think 1617 is when it came out. So she's had a jump rope since 2017 and she's talking to Dave. I think it's Dave Newman from RX smart. Yeah. Yeah. You have the original case, right? Yeah. Everything original. That's how I know an OG person that has the round.

Yeah, I still have the round case. I actually like that better than the other one. It, like, fits in perfectly. But what's crazy is I didn't even know Laura Horvath could talk or communicate. I thought she was, like, I just didn't know. I didn't know she had the skill. So a multi-inspirational video, RX Smart gear, having ropes that last what appears to be forever since 2017 for a rope that's used by a champ like Laura Horvath. You know, it's been put through the ringer. But the fact that Laura can actually speak and articulate herself is fascinating to me.

So kudos to her for keeping that under wraps for so long. And then a show wouldn't be to glorify God more than anything, but I really didn't. A show without some God talk. Like I was still holding so tightly to winning, still didn't have that like faith in his plan. And, you know, like I just, I couldn't let go of that. So I ended up winning and it wasn't as joyful as I thought it would be. It was more like relief. I wanted to want to glorify God more than anything, but I really didn't. So she won, but she didn't glorify God, so it wasn't fulfilling. I don't know if I should tell her.

She said it was a relief. There's never there there with a victory, ever. It's all a journey. Every time you get to the destination, it's a letdown. Every time. Every time. So I don't know if that had to do with God But anyway, even with God on her side And winning, she still wasn't happy

So that's going to be a tough road for Miss Carrie Okay, here we go Is this hard? This chick won the Rogue Challenge I don't know what her name is Jaws, J-O-W-Z-I-N-H-A She holds a 35 pound dumbbell Straight out

I need to try that Some sort of Rogue Challenge She held it for a minute and she won something W-Z-I-N-H-A. She holds a 35-pound dumbbell straight out. I need to try that. Some sort of rogue challenge. She held it for a minute and she won something. So there's that. Rogue. Rogue doing its part to inspire people to move, give away free shit.

Pretty cool. And then what we've all been waiting for. Breaks my heart, guys. Breaks my heart, guys. Breaks my heart. Breaks my heart. Daniel Brandon posted on her story. Let's see what she posted. And it's no surprise to me that the clowns over at Rad Shoes are those whiny bitches. Their shoes look like knockoffs from 1980s Reebok Jazzercise shit.

I know a lot of you like them, I guess. They mislead by saying shit like they're collaborating with Danny Shpeagle. Clearly, they're not collaborating. They're paying her money to peddle shoes. But he writes, this guy writes, I think this is the founder and CEO who I've heard nothing but good things about, but sounds like a whiny little bitch here. He writes, I was. You hear Danielle Gash? She's like. Upset when I was told Rad would be banned from Wadapalooza 2024.

I'm pretty sure that's not true. Pretty sure that's not true pretty sure that's not true oh she says it was true she she's she's disputing my my claims weren't told you were banned i'm pretty sure you were told that you could not sell your shoes there but hey buddy all you had to do is offer more money than tear haven't you ever crazy? And then Daniel writes, is this why? And this, and this is why Daniel Brandon seven blue check Mark.

And this is why I will never go on sevens again. I don't think she means when she says go on sevens. I think she means sevens podcast. I don't mean she means like, I think that's what she means. So quit asking. You can't make me quit asking. You can't make me love for you to come on. How about tomorrow? How about tomorrow? How about you come on tomorrow? How about we talk this out? Listen, I respect your loyalty to your shoe cobbler. I fully respect it. Fully respect it. Kudos to you mad respect and that is the news

there will be no show on Saturday morning because I will be in San Francisco at a Jiu Jitsu tournament and then in the evening Saturday evening there will be a show with Dave Castro the head of the CrossFit Games. And he will console me about this heartbreak from Miss Brandon.

He'll explain to me the business side of how these things work and why it's so important that Danielle is loyal to the Rad Shoe Company. And maybe, who knows, even danielle will call in or or i can send her a link or maybe someone else can ask her to come in since she doesn't want me to ask her to come on anyway peace
