Sevan Matossian (00:01):
Bam. We’re live. Oh, I think I got the premium Twitter account. It still says we’re not. I wonder if we’re streaming. Does anyone know if we’re streaming on my personal Twitter account now? I wonder if that worked today. I should use Twitter more. Does anyone here just like exclusively bang Twitter and doesn’t really bang hard on Instagram? I don’t even know how to hang out on it, bro. Hey
James Sprague (00:39):
Dude, good morning to you.
Sevan Matossian (00:43):
That’s an amazing entrance, dude.
James Sprague (00:45):
I’m really glad, bro. I haven’t seen you in a while.
Sevan Matossian (00:49):
Hey, do you ever hang out on Twitter?
James Sprague (00:52):
I’ve met on Twitter in a very long time. That was like high school football scouting days.
Sevan Matossian (00:57):
Oh, okay. I don’t hang out on Twitter either. I don’t even know how to hang out on Twitter.
James Sprague (01:02):
Yeah, me neither. I don’t even know how to hang out on that new Instagram chat thing where you post threads. I don’t get that.
Sevan Matossian (01:10):
I don’t do that one either.
James Sprague (01:11):
Yeah, I stick to the Instagram and the YouTube and then I’m like, that seems like a lot to me.
Sevan Matossian (01:17):
I wonder if that’s a failed. I don’t know anyone who hangs out on threads. No one ever talks about it. I know they try to push that stuff, but I don’t know. Even hangs out on threads.
James Sprague (01:25):
There’s way too many social medias now. The old one back in my day was Kick KIK, and you’d give people to be honest, and rates and rate them based on something. It was so weird, bro. You just judge people on an app. It was so funny.
Sevan Matossian (01:41):
Do people still use it?
James Sprague (01:44):
Dude, I don’t think so.
Sevan Matossian (01:48):
I wonder what happens to platforms like that. I missed the whole Facebook thing. I dunno what I was doing when Facebook came around, but I never got on Facebook and then when Instagram came, I thought that was cool, so I got on that, but I wonder what happens. My friends who use Facebook now, they just use it to sell shit.
James Sprague (02:08):
Yeah. Yeah, a hundred percent. I wasn’t able to sell stuff well on Facebook. Then I tried to sell all my Airsoft guns and I got flagged and then my store got shut down. I was like, what the heck?
Sevan Matossian (02:20):
Well, I can’t believe I haven’t been kicked off of Instagram again. I get flagged every day.
James Sprague (02:25):
I’m proud of you. Let’s keep a tally going. How many days we can stay alive?
Sevan Matossian (02:29):
Thank you. Hey, would you be up at this time anyway,
James Sprague (02:33):
Dude? No. I haven’t slept in four nights, so I have pneumonia now, which is, have you ever had it?
Sevan Matossian (02:40):
I don’t know. I want to say yeah, but I don’t really know. I never had a doctor put the thermometer in my ass and then be like, oh yes, pneumonia.
James Sprague (02:49):
My dad literally just bought a thermometer and I was like, so one of those ear ones or the mouth ones and he is like, oh yeah, it’s one of those on instructions. It’s like rectal, and I’m like, dad. But anyway, where was I? Yeah, pneumonia. My lungs are really messed up. Super shortness of breath. I had a 1 0 4 0.8 fever. Dude, I’ve been through it. I haven’t slept in really four nights, so it’s been kind of a bummer.
Sevan Matossian (03:21):
Are you coughing up the green stuff or the yellow stuff?
James Sprague (03:24):
I’m really hoping to start coughing up more. It’s really dry around. It hurts. So every time I cough I get this pulsing headache, but the worst part is the chills and dude, I went in a sauna for 30 minutes yesterday because I was so cold and I didn’t sweat a drip because my exocrine glands aren’t working, so I am so dehydrated. I couldn’t sweat at that moment. Just super trippy.
Sevan Matossian (03:50):
Hey, so maybe I have had that. I thought that was the flu. One time in my life. There was a time. Where are your teeth chattering?
James Sprague (04:00):
Only certain moments right now I’m feeling actually okay. I just slept actually for an hour and a half, which is really awesome.
Sevan Matossian (04:07):
Hey, I don’t want to be a drug pusher, but if you can’t breathe, the last three days I’ve been having some issues. My nose has been closing up on the show, so I’m breathing through my mouth and then when you breathe through your mouth you can’t talk. So I’ve been snorting this stuff and it burns, but And you just fire up a few loads in there.
James Sprague (04:26):
Oh dude, yeah. Stuff’s great.
Sevan Matossian (04:28):
Yeah, you’ve used that stuff before. It burns and it kind of feels interesting, but you can breathe. I’ve been shooting that in my nose before I go to bed.
James Sprague (04:35):
I’m kind of annoyed going to the doctor all the time. Whenever I get sick, they’ll always prescribe something that’s not, that’s banned on the banned substance list. So I’m like, well, I can’t really take most of the things they prescribe. So I finally went there. I’m like, is there just anything that I can take that’s not banned and the ones that I’m taking, and I triple checked with the Curtis, the drug testing guy, but it’s just like the doctor’s an annoying experience CrossFit athlete. Hey, you like Curtis? I like him a lot. Yeah, he’s actually from Washington. I like the team man.
Sevan Matossian (05:10):
Yeah, I really, really, he’s been around forever. I really like Curtis a lot. So I guess the question is, have you been in touch with Bill and Katie? What’s it looking like for you? For Rogue, I mean, that’s right around the corner.
James Sprague (05:24):
Yeah, I’ve been faced with sleepless nights to think about it. I think I’m going to have a decision made by Wednesday. If I can’t move by Wednesday, it’s probably a no-go, which really sucks, but I’ve had a great, great season so far, and maybe it’s just my body telling me to slow down a little bit, so I haven’t made a decision yet. Well, the big part that would bum me out is I have 10 people coming there to supporting me, and I think a lot of these tickets are non-refundable, so I’m like, Frick, dude. The decision is I can show up either way and compete, but I don’t want to show up and compete half. I want to show up and compete full fledged a hundred percent and feel good about it. I don’t know if I’ll feel good about competing when I can’t run a seven minute mile. I don’t want to look ridiculous out there.
Sevan Matossian (06:19):
I mean, the chances are there’s a good chance that you’ll be better. There is also a chance that getting on a long flight that could make you sick again and bring it back. But any chance that you don’t compete but you go anyway and just do meet and greet, kiss baby, shit like that,
James Sprague (06:38):
Dude. Yeah, kissing babies is great, man. I don’t think I’d go, if I wasn’t competing, I’d stay back because me and the wife just bought a house and kind of want to start getting things ready for that.
Sevan Matossian (06:51):
Congrats, dude. That’s crazy that you own my house. That is
James Sprague (06:56):
Crazy. Yeah, it’s really cool. So it’s like we’re going to try and do the 10 properties in 10 years kind of thing, like house hop and get the low interest rate or get the low money down and just have renters pay ’em off. And then dude, you have 10 properties in 30 years. That’s your retirement.
Sevan Matossian (07:18):
Dude, I’ve told this story a million times, but the day I owned a couple homes and if I wouldn’t have done that when I got fired from CrossFit, I’d have been screwed. And the day that I was fired, we paid off one of our houses. Wow. Yeah.
James Sprague (07:34):
Oh my gosh.
Sevan Matossian (07:35):
Yeah, it’s like the greatest thing ever. And you’re so ahead of the curve. Are you studied up on that? Have you been watching YouTube videos and reading
James Sprague (07:44):
Stuff? Yeah, I love studying all that stuff. Also, I love investing so big into crypto and stock stuff and never been a day trade or anything, but would love to learn more about it too.
Sevan Matossian (07:59):
Hey, I heard you’re supposed to buy houses ideally when you start in the area that you live in and you live in kind of a good area. My area is a bad area to do that because just a complete shit hole is a million dollars, but in the Spokane area, you can actually get some rentable homes for four or 500,000 bucks. Right,
James Sprague (08:19):
Dude. So Spokane’s a lot cheaper than Seattle. It’s still Washington. I’d say it’s still more expensive than most areas, but definitely less expensive than Seattle.
Sevan Matossian (08:31):
You’re in Spokane?
James Sprague (08:32):
Yeah. Yeah, so I’m in Idaho right now, but wife’s in Spokane. I’m usually over there, but I can’t share a bed with her. She will catch this and then she won’t be able to work too, so I’m on my dad’s house right now.
Sevan Matossian (08:44):
What does she do?
James Sprague (08:46):
She is a pharmacist.
Sevan Matossian (08:47):
Oh, okay, okay.
James Sprague (08:49):
Yeah, dude, she just started two months ago. She’s got full-time job and she’s carrying the boats.
Sevan Matossian (08:56):
Hey, that’s kind of crazy. She’s around sick people all day every day.
James Sprague (08:59):
Dude. Yeah, she’s at a compounding pharmacy, so I don’t think she’s seeing a ton of sick people. They may come up to the counter and stuff, but I don’t think she interacts with them that closely, a screen and stuff, so I think she’s pretty safe from it.
Sevan Matossian (09:20):
Do you remember the last time you were in line at a pharmacy?
James Sprague (09:24):
Yeah, dude, yesterday I had to get my drugs.
Sevan Matossian (09:27):
It is. I it have nothing nice to say. It is some really weird group of people. Once every four or five years I’ll be in line at a pharmacy and I’ll be like, holy fuck. It’s not usually sick people. It’s like mentally ill
James Sprague (09:45):
People.
Sevan Matossian (09:47):
I’m just like, wow, these are the dregs of society. These people are in bad shape.
James Sprague (09:51):
Oh dude. Well, they’re angry too. When you’re unhealthy, you’re angry. So health is really wealth, bro. It frustrates me when people that are fat are treating all these healthy people like crap and they’re privileged. I’m like, no, you just go out and work for it. This ozempic crap’s pissing me off, dude.
Sevan Matossian (10:10):
Hey, did you know I saw something the other day that the United Kingdom is going to offer free ozempic to all obese people so that they can, and their plan is so that they can get them back in the workforce.
James Sprague (10:26):
It’s
Sevan Matossian (10:27):
Not going to
James Sprague (10:27):
Last
Sevan Matossian (10:28):
Government, and that costs the government $1,500 a month per person.
James Sprague (10:33):
Interesting. Yeah, it’s expensive, bro. People are willing to pay so much to get skinny, but they’re not willing to work out an hour day, three hours a week. I mean, opportunity costs. You’re spending a lot more money than you would be spending time.
Sevan Matossian (10:48):
A Brandon Leco, Colorado. James, check your dms, your wine I mailed arrived.
James Sprague (10:55):
Yes, dude, I’ll go check. Thank you so much, Brandon. I remember meeting with him a few months back. He’s a dope guy.
Sevan Matossian (11:03):
Hey, so you’re married and you have a house? Yeah. Are you planning to fill that house with tiny humans?
James Sprague (11:13):
Dude? Hopefully not yet, bro. Really hoping not yet. We stayed safe on the honeymoon somehow, and then we came home and we’re like, oh, okay. Stayed safe on the honeymoon. Now it’s real life. There’s not as much time for that, so we haven’t actually opened your couch yet either, so that’s going in the new house. We’re so pumped about it.
Sevan Matossian (11:36):
Oh, awesome.
James Sprague (11:37):
Thank you to everyone on the show for that. That’s just unprecedented, man. That’s so nice. Thank you very much.
Sevan Matossian (11:43):
Yeah, that’s awesome. You got to take a picture.
James Sprague (11:46):
Yeah. Oh dude, I will for sure. I’ll take a video, bro. I’ll make some really hypersexual reel on it.
Sevan Matossian (11:52):
Thank you. Hey, what do you do to not have babies? I know you’re obviously a devout Christian. Do you guys use some of those methods? Does she take her temperature every day or you time it or what do you do? Do you guys have a
James Sprague (12:09):
Oh no, we stay abstinent. We just don’t do it at all.
Sevan Matossian (12:13):
Really?
James Sprague (12:14):
Oh no, dude,
Sevan Matossian (12:18):
You guys coiling like fish, like snakes?
James Sprague (12:20):
No, no. Just careful with the timing around her s
Sevan Matossian (12:24):
Yeah, so she just times all that.
James Sprague (12:25):
Yeah.
Sevan Matossian (12:26):
Yeah. That’s smart.
James Sprague (12:28):
Yeah, I think that’s a lot easier than people think too. If you’re just, you don’t have to spend a lot of money. You just have to be a little disciplined and then you’re good.
Sevan Matossian (12:38):
I had a buddy who married this girl, a Catholic girl, and she went to, in her upbringing, that was one of the things that they taught her is she just takes her temperature every day and she charts it and they fucking nailed it. They said they have five kids and they never had one single unplanned pregnancy.
James Sprague (12:55):
Oh, wow. Dang. That’s awesome.
Sevan Matossian (12:58):
Yeah,
James Sprague (12:59):
Let’s go. I hear so many people that nowadays are trying and trying and trying and can’t get pregnant. It’s like, dude, I hear a lot more infertility stuff lately than I ever have.
Sevan Matossian (13:09):
Crazy stuff.
James Sprague (13:11):
Yeah, right.
Sevan Matossian (13:13):
Yeah. It’s the
James Sprague (13:14):
Worst.
Sevan Matossian (13:15):
Yeah. Yeah. I am very judgmental about that. I haven’t expressed my opinions on this show about that yet.
James Sprague (13:21):
Dude, maybe you should start. So how is the show doing, bro? How is the show? It’s been how many episodes now?
Sevan Matossian (13:29):
I don’t know. I think we’re approaching, we’re at three and a half years. We have growth every single day. It’s so good, dude.
James Sprague (13:38):
And this is all you do still, right?
Sevan Matossian (13:39):
Yeah, just 7:00 AM every morning I get up and then we do all the other crazy shows, crash or some nighttime shows. And I’m lucky enough that JR Howell and Taylor do a show on here and Susan does a show on here. And then it looks like, I haven’t told anyone this, but it looks like Dale Soran, who used to be the general counsel for CrossFit. Now he has the largest lawsuit against the US government regarding the vaccine and the US military. I think he’s going to start having a show on here. Yeah. Oh yeah. No, I’m selling my tooth powder. I’m pedaling my tooth powder. Yeah, I’m pretty stoked.
James Sprague (14:15):
Oh my gosh. Let’s go. You said tooth powder?
Sevan Matossian (14:18):
Yeah, tooth powder. Oh, I’ll send you one
James Sprague (14:19):
Is like toothpaste powder.
Sevan Matossian (14:21):
Basically. I had Tyson beige on here and he’s like, Hey dude, you were telling me fluoride’s horrible. What was that about? I’m like, fuck, I don’t remember. So I started doing all this research on fluoride again after he reminded me and my sister and my mom had been brushing with powder forever, and I always noticed how white teeth are, and they’re not white, like Fox News anchor blue, blue, white. They’re just nice white teeth. And I started doing research into tooth powder and then I got some, and I’m like, holy shit, I need to make my own tooth powder. And I started using it and it’s the shit. It’s the best thing ever,
James Sprague (14:56):
Dude. That’s awesome.
Sevan Matossian (14:58):
It’s just basically eggshells and baking soda. It’s just this mixture of four things, and it’s like brushing your teeth with dirt. There’s no fluoride, no chemicals, no nothing.
James Sprague (15:10):
Wow. Wow. That’s awesome. I just got some that’s like coconut oil and charcoal. I’m pretty sure it’s not typical toothpaste. It feels weird in your mouth, but
Sevan Matossian (15:23):
I’ll send you some clean.
James Sprague (15:25):
That’d be awesome.
Sevan Matossian (15:27):
Hey, let me show you this video really quick. These moments are just so awesome. I’m going to play it for everyone at home. And then how did you know to film here?
James Sprague (15:40):
Dude, he was just struggling this round so I could film most of his shots. He had one really good shot. That’s my pastor Scott. He was golfing with us. My dad had this insane, insane layup shot in one of the holes. He had one good shot of the round. I’m kidding. We’re super competitive, bro. My dad’s a good golfer. No, James? No James. No, no. That’s okay. Someone
Sevan Matossian (16:06):
Was about to say That’s okay. You’re like me. Does he know you’re filming?
James Sprague (16:12):
Most of the time he doesn’t, doesn’t understand phones very well. He’s gotten better, that’s for
Sevan Matossian (16:17):
Sure. Was he saying absurd shit? Just the whole time and so you like, oh, I, he’s going to say something crazy here, I’m going to get it.
James Sprague (16:25):
No, I think I videoed three shots and that was just the best one where I was like, this is funny. I just want to post more authentic stuff. I’m sick of just posting workouts and pictures of me working out. No, it’s boring. No, James. No, no,
Sevan Matossian (16:39):
That’s okay. That really speaks to the father son in me. That is so, because my kids have just gotten to the age where they’re starting to talk to me and talk shit
James Sprague (16:51):
To
Sevan Matossian (16:51):
Me and say stuff to me. It’s the best. Sometimes they call me by my first name, I’ll be like, Hey, it’s time for bed, and they’ll be likes, you don’t tell us what to do. I’m like, se dang. Yeah. You know what I mean?
James Sprague (17:06):
Are you like, don’t call me by my first name, or No,
Sevan Matossian (17:10):
Because their comedic timing is so perfect when they do it. You know what I mean? They don’t ever, they’ll be like, will you wipe my butt hiding? They call me dad, or Will you put me to bed, Heidi, or will you watch me take a shower, Heidi, whenever they want. I’m hungry. Haik, that means father and Armenian. But it’s only when they talk shit do they call me se, you know what I mean? Or they’ll be like, se you didn’t pack any food for us, se, you know what I mean? They treat me like the help whenever they’re treating me, like the help they call me se it’s so funny.
James Sprague (17:40):
That’s awesome. Your skater kid, he’s a skater, right? Skateboard,
Sevan Matossian (17:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He’s Go on.
James Sprague (17:49):
That’s a savage sport, bro. Those kids need to learn how to talk smack.
Sevan Matossian (17:53):
Yeah, it’s wild. It’s
James Sprague (17:54):
Almost like, I mean, you’re fighting cement, bro. I mean, if you’re in that sport, you’re promised and some good rips.
Sevan Matossian (18:02):
Okay. I know I only have you for a short period of time. Let me just ask you this too.
James Sprague (18:06):
Yeah, please. By the way, dude, I want to do longer with you, bro. I just don’t know if I have it in me.
Sevan Matossian (18:13):
Oh, hey, November 5th election night, I’m going to do a six hour show and I’ve invited people to come on for 30 minutes at a time. Rich and Josh. Oh, you will do it. Okay, Josh. Okay, hunter, dude.
James Sprague (18:26):
Yeah,
Sevan Matossian (18:26):
And I’m going to have people just come in for 30 minute segments and party,
James Sprague (18:30):
Dude. Yeah, that’ll be so fun. Shoot me that up, bro. Are you guys activating at Rogue or no? Are you guys
Sevan Matossian (18:37):
We’ll cover? I’ll just watch it from home and then go live after every event. This, so when you were doing the final event, what I do is you guys are going, and I have this camera and I shoot footage at a high speed rate so that with the interviews I can just put in Slowmo shots, right? Yeah. But every time, so I’m like, okay, I got enough of Wakowski. Okay, I got enough of dLAN and every time I went to film you, you were resting. So in my head as I’m filming this, I’m like, oh fuck, James is fucked. And then all of a sudden I look at the finish line and you’re there. I’m like, what the fuck happened? Walk me through. Can you tell me about how you approached this event, maybe even 10 minutes before, 20 minutes before, what was going on?
James Sprague (19:33):
Yeah, there was a lot going on in my head, but I’ll tell you what, there wasn’t a lot of pressure. I already knew I liked top fives. I already was very proud of that. My goal was top 10, so I was ecstatic. I was like, dang, this is awesome. So the pressure was off. Now I already hit my goal. I was like, let’s just go see if we can do something crazy and keep maybe climb to fourth, maybe third. These guys are all really good at thrusters and chest bar. I’m a taller guy. Just being realistic. My cycle rate’s a little slower and then I go out and take a fifth place in a two and a half minute Franny workout, and I’m like, me and Kowski are the tallest guys in the field. How did that happen? And so that was really wild to me.
(20:20):
And then I go back to the next one and I’m like watching all these guys walk back to this. They’re starting mat and they’re all moping and their body language is showing how tired they are, and it just put a lot of blood in the water, and it made me change my strategy because I saw how many of the guys were destroyed. I knew they were going to try a big set to be a hero and then just burn out. I looked at that workout as like 33 bar muscle ups, 33 thrusters. I wouldn’t start that with a set of 10 to 13. I would start that breaking, especially after the first one, breaking often on the bar muscle ups. And so the quick breaks allow me to actually cycle the bar muscle ups quicker, rather than doing 10 rest 20 seconds, 10 rest, 20 seconds.
(21:05):
It’s like, what if we do quick threes and rest six to eight seconds between say really discipline and the rest that way. Also, you get to the last thruster bar and you’re like, oh, you can cook because your localized muscle endurance, your local muscle endurance isn’t cooked from hanging on for a long time in a row. You’re giving yourself breaks. So yeah, I just stayed really disciplined in the second workout. The first one was a complete shock to me in that finale. How the heck did I have that good of a cycle rate on those two movements? That was mystery to me. And then the second one, it was just a smart game day strategy switch, mid workout, like going to the threes on the bar. Muscle ups.
Sevan Matossian (21:49):
Were you in last place in your heat for a little bit?
James Sprague (21:53):
Oh, I think so. Yeah. I think I was very close to the last, on the first set of 18 down, finished the yolk before I even touched the yoke. So he was 30 seconds ahead at one point, which was very wild.
Sevan Matossian (22:07):
Hey, so for some of us, for me, and I think this is for a lot of people, it’s the we’re sort of afraid to come off just working out in my garage because when you get back on, you’re going to be exhausted. So it’s like, let me explain the phenomenon to you and see if this happens to you. Let’s say you’re doing Pull-ups, right? And you do a set of 12 knowing you can do a set of 15, but then when you get back on, you can still only do three and you would’ve only been able to do three if you did 15 too. You know what I mean? Just getting off something happens to you. Do you know what that phenomenon I’m trying to explain, it’s kind of the opposite of your logic, but I’m guessing now what I’m hearing you say, if you do the sets small enough, there’s a point where it doesn’t matter whether you did 12 or 15 and you fucked yourself, but if you do it small enough, you don’t fuck yourself.
James Sprague (23:02):
Yeah, exactly. I mean, you can always do a bigger set, but once you do that big set, you put yourself in that negative detriment. So it’s like I’m always a big fan of negative splits, like building a faster pace through the workout or building bigger sets in the workout or more touch and go sets in the end of a workout. Those kind of things are pacing and CrossFit in any sport, endurance sport or anything for time kind of sport like CrossFit, high rocks, whatever. There’s pacing involved. So that’s simply it. And if you don’t pace things correctly for what they’re presenting and what your body’s presenting, it’s like you’re not going to maximize your times.
Sevan Matossian (23:47):
I can’t make the first, but in the grand opening, getting pushed back if you’re sick, it’s my kid’s 12th birthday, so I can’t make it. What’s he referencing?
James Sprague (23:55):
Oh, Michael. He’s from the Spokane Blackout Gym. So there’s this grand opening of this big gym called Mode and Mode is where I work out at, and it’s like this huge campus with a business center coffee. There’s medical, there’s pt, there’s a kid’s school. It’s the most insane campus ever. I have to send you a video sometime, but we’re doing a grand opening and I’m actually writing the programming for the gym, which I’m super excited about, so I’m going to experiment with that with my company NextGen. I’m doing some affiliate programming, so I’m really excited.
Sevan Matossian (24:37):
Oh, congratulations. Are you partnered with the gym?
James Sprague (24:40):
Gym? Yes. Yes.
Sevan Matossian (24:42):
Wow. Congratulations.
James Sprague (24:44):
Thanks, brother.
Sevan Matossian (24:45):
Hey, I want to tell you, you are looking absolutely fabulous. Your body’s still obviously going through changes as you transition into Superman, you, you’re reping the Tom Selleck Reynolds look. Just stoked to know you, dude, and I appreciate
James Sprague (25:04):
You too, bro.
Sevan Matossian (25:05):
I know you got pneumonia. I appreciate you coming on. I wore my shirt the other day on the
James Sprague (25:10):
Show. The Trump one.
Sevan Matossian (25:11):
Yeah, I, let’s go. I had the guy who won High Rocks Australia on, and I wanted to represent CrossFit in the best way I could, so I wore the Trump shirt. Yes. Showing off my crazy tan lines. So I appreciate the Trump shirt,
James Sprague (25:25):
Dude, Troy, my buddy made those. They were so great. I saw he was like one of the covers of your thumbnails of one of your YouTube videos too, the other day.
Sevan Matossian (25:33):
Yeah. So tell him I said, what’s up and tell your dad I said, what’s up, brother?
James Sprague (25:36):
I will, bro.
Sevan Matossian (25:37):
And of course
James Sprague (25:37):
I’ll be looking forward to hopping on with you in a week and chatting. For real, for real.
Sevan Matossian (25:41):
Okay, cool. And if you stay home, maybe we can come out on some of the rogue shows,
James Sprague (25:44):
Dude. Yeah. I’m hoping I don’t have to stay home. I want to compete. Dude, I had a really great training block. I’ve felt really good This, it’s been very difficult, but I’m still think there’s hope just to be able to breathe, man, last night there was a 15 minute period where I couldn’t breathe because I was coughing so much. I’m like, I feel like I need to go to the ER right now. This just is unsafe.
Sevan Matossian (26:09):
Alright, brother. Thank you.
James Sprague (26:10):
Yeah, thank you bro. Talk to you. Okay, love you too, bro. Bye-Bye.
Sevan Matossian (26:16):
James, break. Alright, se reads with his finger under each hold on. Sevy reads with his finger under each word as he sounds out words with more than three syllables. Is that obvious, huh? Yeah. James is a great guy. What a great guy. Alright, well thanks for tuning in guys. I will see you guys. What is today? What is today? Today, Wednesday, Thursday, Monday. Holy shit. It’s only Monday. Only Monday. Do I have anyone on tomorrow? Oh, I got Dale Soran on tomorrow. I’m trying to get Taylor Williamson on. Someone was saying that Rogue’s going to be our first ever high level individual competition.
(27:23):
Man, I hope James feels better. I didn’t want to say this to him. I mean, I’m sure he wants to go to Rogue, but I’m kind of excited. If he doesn’t go to Rogue, then he can come on the show. That would be awesome. Remember that girl? Remember the president of Levi Strauss that I had on? I don’t know if you guys remember this show, but it was a cool show. She was cool. She was stiff. It was kind of difficult to get any real talk out of her. She was a San Francisco lady. She had two black sons. She worked at Levi Strauss and she was next in line to be the CEO of Levi Strauss. I want to say it’s a $500 million company. Maybe it was more, maybe it’s a multi-billion dollar company. And basically what happened is she wanted to keep the schools open in San Francisco during Covid, and because she was so outspoken on that, she lost her job there. I don’t know if you guys remember that. Anyway, I saw yesterday she was on Gutfeld and she’s really opened up. Her personality has really blossomed. She has this new clothing company and the premise behind, or the new clothing company or the mission statement is that men shouldn’t be involved in women’s sports. Anyway, she was on Gutfeld. I thought I’d play you this clip.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
My favorite part of the thing is when she holds it in her hand and little voice, it’s very fragile and it’s fragile. It’s fragile. She’s holding it. It’s like she’s got a little baby. Do they tick? I mean, do they tell her to do that? Is that her own improv? I don’t think she’s stupid. I think it takes a lot of skill to use so many words to say so little.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
The nature of democracy is, there are two sides to it in terms of the nature of it. There’s a duality.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
I have seen this in corporate America. It’s a skill. They say nothing so they can be held to nothing.
Sevan Matossian (29:25):
They say nothing so they can be held to nothing.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
On the one hand, when democracy is intact, if you just say a bunch of stuff, it is incredibly strong in terms of the strength it bestows the individuals. When you wear
Speaker 3 (29:42):
This costume of seriousness in
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Terms of their
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Rights and their freedoms, and everybody nods along, there’s an incredible strength. Unlike you’re saying something serious and important. Duality. Duality. I wish you’d talk about the duality of sex. That actually is.
