Sevan Matossian (00:00):
Sparking shit too in here?
Matt Torres (00:01):
No, it looks good.
Sevan Matossian (00:03):
Alright, cool. Lemme see if I can, how come I don’t see you on the podcast? There you are. In the house. Hey, how come we’re not in the new gym buddy? How come we’re not in the new gym? You got internet there?
Matt Torres (00:19):
No, I’m still in Naples. I get up there on the first week of January.
Sevan Matossian (00:24):
Oh, okay.
Matt Torres (00:25):
Yeah, it’s my last week in Naples right here.
Sevan Matossian (00:27):
You’re in transition as they say.
Matt Torres (00:29):
Yes. Yeah. It feels like two or three months of transition. Yeah. Moving’s no fun. Especially when you got to move an entire gym.
Sevan Matossian (00:39):
Gym, especially when you have to do it yourself.
Matt Torres (00:42):
Yeah, I mean, according to Roman, it’s not that big of a gym or nice of a gym.
Sevan Matossian (00:47):
Rusty, rusty shithole, rusty American shithole, but rusty American shithole. You know what’s crazy too is that’s our impression of everything in Russia. You know what I mean? Like nail rusty nails and shit and sleds that when you push ’em, arms break off and
Matt Torres (01:05):
Shit. That’s the only type of movies we’ve ever seen.
Sevan Matossian (01:09):
Hey, here’s the thing though. Let’s go back a second. Hi. You used to coach Roman?
Matt Torres (01:17):
No. So actually Roman was a brood athlete for I think like three years. It was the years when he wasn’t able to make it over to the States. He was coached by Nick Fowler. And so
Sevan Matossian (01:30):
What happened? Ren renowned good guy, right? Everyone loves him. Everyone loves Nick Fowler, right? Good dude. Yeah,
Matt Torres (01:36):
Yeah, yeah. I mean,
Sevan Matossian (01:38):
You mean that good enough? You still friends with him?
Matt Torres (01:41):
Him and I don’t really conversate that much anymore, but during this time, the old brute owner put the responsibility on me to offer Roman a space to train and even to live. And so even though it was Nick’s athlete, I had to do Nick’s job for him.
Sevan Matossian (02:07):
This is juicier than I thought. Okay, go on.
Matt Torres (02:09):
And whatever we took him on and different strokes for different folks, maybe he wants the finer things in life and we just want to win.
Sevan Matossian (02:22):
Yeah. I heard then, tell me if this is true. I heard you kicked Roman out of that bedroom in order to make room for Danielle. Is that true?
Matt Torres (02:35):
Oh yeah.
Sevan Matossian (02:36):
I didn’t even, I heard you had your priorities all fucked up.
Matt Torres (02:38):
I hadn’t even met Danielle at that time though.
Sevan Matossian (02:41):
Alright, so you’re saying that that’s not true. You may even suspect that I just completely made that up.
Matt Torres (02:48):
It’s a good storyline, honestly. Oh
Sevan Matossian (02:50):
God, it’s so good. Okay, so give me a little history. When did you come on with Brute
Matt Torres (02:58):
Man? I started with Brute 20 20 17.
Sevan Matossian (03:02):
Were you an athlete or an owner or a trainer?
Matt Torres (03:05):
No. No. So I was actually, I was working with Nick Fowler’s company back in the day. So Nick was my mentor, if you will. And Nick made the transition on to Brute as their head of strength coaching programming.
Sevan Matossian (03:23):
Did the Casu guy who I’ve had on here, did he own Brute at that time? Yes.
Matt Torres (03:28):
Yeah, him and Matt Bruce owned Brute.
Sevan Matossian (03:31):
Okay.
Matt Torres (03:34):
And so Brute, brute started a one-on-one program, remote training, and Nick and I were the first ones to basically start it. And then I’ve been with Brute ever since now.
Sevan Matossian (03:47):
Okay. So there was this company called Brute owned by Casu and a guy named Bruce. Then they wanted to open up another arm of it, which was one-on-one coaching, kind of like I had the Mayhem guys on recently, and they have this thing called performance coaching now. And they brought on, I think Austin Stack and this guy Jake Foster?
Matt Torres (04:08):
Yes.
Sevan Matossian (04:10):
Oh, and Dom. Okay. So it was something like that. They expanded and they just assigned it to you guys? To you and this guy Nick Fowler?
Matt Torres (04:18):
Yeah. So basically Nick was my boss and I was just a coach at that time. Oh, just, yeah. And then my first legitimate athlete was Jason Carroll. Yeah, back in the day and then dLAN when he was like 15, 16 years old.
Sevan Matossian (04:40):
Okay, let’s take a quick moment. We should not throw D’s name around loosely. Congratulations. I want to be the first to congratulate you
Matt Torres (04:50):
For what?
Sevan Matossian (04:51):
Because D’s going to fucking win the games.
Matt Torres (04:53):
Oh, I agree. I agree.
Sevan Matossian (04:55):
It’s going to be, and then, yeah, it’s going to be fucking crazy. I mean, I’ve been saying it for years. Don’t anyone get it twisted, but he’s starting to look freaky.
Matt Torres (05:04):
Well, every year he continues to make these big jumps. He’s starting to become a little bit more of a man,
Sevan Matossian (05:15):
A lot more of a man. He’s more than a man now. He surpassed man. He really is something else.
Matt Torres (05:21):
Yeah, we’ve got some good goals set up for this year as far as training goes. And I mean, the dude’s been on a really good path, especially with his running man. Dude’s getting fast.
Sevan Matossian (05:35):
If somebody fucks up, it could even be this year if someone gets caught slipping.
Matt Torres (05:40):
Look, I’m not going to say it’s not possible because the dude’s been killing it the last three years. And so anything’s possible. And look, the stuff that Roman said, and I thought actually the stuff that Roman said,
Sevan Matossian (05:59):
He didn’t say anything about D though, did he?
Matt Torres (06:01):
No, I
Sevan Matossian (06:02):
Thought it was a joke. He kicked D’s name out of his mouth. He fucked with Gee and Sprague. He picks on some of the fucking weaker homeboy. Sorry, Mr. Sprague, but he ain’t fucking with dLAN.
Matt Torres (06:11):
Yeah, I thought the thing was a joke. Someone was just doing a voiceover and just making words up for him. If we can get a confirmation of what was said was actually accurate, but then everyone started talking and it’s like, oh, maybe actually he’s being real. But anyway, you don’t need,
Sevan Matossian (06:33):
It’s double, it’s double verified by the YouTube translation and then by some sort of audio translation that Pedro paid for. I mean it still is, but he went to town on a bunch of people. I mean, you got off kind of the easiest. You just have a rusty gym and you didn’t make him part of the team. He didn’t like that. He didn’t not being part of the team.
Matt Torres (06:53):
Yeah, I mean I guess he really just wants to do the same workout as everyone else is doing and just have fun with It
Sevan Matossian (07:01):
Made us seem more like he wants team setting. But what’s weird is they don’t have that at Mayhem.
Matt Torres (07:09):
Yeah,
Sevan Matossian (07:09):
He’s on his own there too. I mean from everything that it looks like he’s completely on his own there. Yeah,
Matt Torres (07:16):
I’m not quite sure how it
Sevan Matossian (07:17):
Is except for his whooping boy. Logan Ewing. He got a whooping boy over there. He knows it. I ain’t saying nothing crazy. Logan knows he’s a whooping boy.
Matt Torres (07:29):
Yeah, I’ve never met him before, but Logan that is. But hey, someone needs a sparring partner.
Sevan Matossian (07:38):
I want to see if I can turn this light up. You guys deserve to see me better. Fuck is that knob? There was. Hold on, hold on. You’re all on your own. You’re all on your own for a minute.
Matt Torres (07:49):
Yeah, I feel like I’m the CEO O of this thing now. Huh? How do I look at the chat? I’m going to see what people are saying. Comments.
Sevan Matossian (08:00):
Don’t do anything crazy. Pick your nose when I’m gone. They can still see you. Don’t do anything crazy.
Matt Torres (08:04):
Yeah, right. Roman works with Kudo.
Sevan Matossian (08:08):
Okay, so I go back a little bit. So when you started working with Roman remotely also I didn’t know this Hinshaw, you didn’t work with him remotely?
Matt Torres (08:19):
No, that was Fowler.
Sevan Matossian (08:21):
Okay. When Fowler was working with them remotely, Hinshaw and Kudo also worked at Brood at the time.
Matt Torres (08:28):
Yeah. So Hinshaw worked at Kudo. I’m not quite sure. I don’t remember seeing,
Sevan Matossian (08:33):
That’s what he says in the video in the longer version. There’s an eight minute clip somewhere that I saw and he says that he used to work with Hinshaw and Kudo and then Kudo left to go to Monkey Camp and he didn’t go to Mayhem. I guess he just went to Monkey Camp and then he just worked with ra. It’s really a incestuous group. All these people. I wonder when you, do you own Brute now?
Matt Torres (09:00):
Yeah.
Sevan Matossian (09:01):
You own Brute. You went from the Cashew guy and Bruce and Nick Fowler are gone.
Matt Torres (09:09):
Yes.
Sevan Matossian (09:10):
And when did they leave? Oh, and they left you with all these great people. They left you with Emma, you didn’t do shit they left you with, they left you with Emma and Fifi and the fucking Super Wonder Boy, Nate and Danielle, Brandon and Down Pepper. They just left you with them. They’re like, here you go.
Matt Torres (09:32):
Yeah. They’re like, look, don’t fuck it up. Bye.
Sevan Matossian (09:37):
Tell me when they left you, what did they leave you with? Who did you have? What did you got? What did you got? I mean, we know you had a rusty gym now they left you with the Rusty gym.
Matt Torres (09:46):
You know what it is? Is the remote coaches. I still consider the remote coaches. Their athletes are their athletes. Yeah. They’re dressed up in the brute stuff, but that’s really all it is.
Sevan Matossian (09:59):
Can you give me an example of one of those? A remote coach and a
Matt Torres (10:02):
Remote athlete? Yeah, I got it. Kelsey Keel works with Coach L, right. So if
Sevan Matossian (10:10):
Coach LI like her by the way. Good head on her shoulders. Seems like just from the social media shit, she’s cool. You could fuck with her and she’s cool. Yeah, she rolls with the punches.
Matt Torres (10:20):
Yeah, very likable. So if Coach L were to have left Brute, Kelsey probably would’ve just went with Coach L. So basically what we did is we purchased the name and gave a little bit more money in good faith.
Sevan Matossian (10:38):
And when you purchased them, were those athletes there? Who did you get with the name?
Matt Torres (10:43):
No, so we don’t get it. We don’t get athletes with the name. We get all the ip, we get all the email list, we get all the training from previous.
Sevan Matossian (10:57):
So it’s complete horse shit. What? I said it’s complete horse
Matt Torres (11:00):
Shit. Yeah. It’s like the assets are not the athletes per se in this purchase. The assets is essentially what to us. The athletes are marketing and so it’s not, if the coaches do their job, the athletes stay. If the coaches don’t do their job, then it’s just the way the sport works is they can get up and leave.
Sevan Matossian (11:23):
So those relationships, fee, Emma, dLAN, Danielle, Nate, James, this powerhouse or all relationships that the brute coaches from last year all cultivated and now since the coach, since coach a Dom guy, there was a Dom guy went to, and so like you said, that’s his athlete. And so the athlete has the choice. Hey, go with him. No hard feelings you guys.
Matt Torres (12:02):
Yeah, for the most part. And
Sevan Matossian (12:04):
For the most part, no hard feelings or for the most part you go with him.
Matt Torres (12:07):
Yeah. Well, I try to convince an athlete to stay if they don’t want to stay though.
Sevan Matossian (12:10):
Oh no, that’s dumb.
Matt Torres (12:12):
Look, I do foresee a future where the business, the training business is, it’s a completely different business model where our GM at Brute is negotiating with these agents for contract of athletes. So they’re obligated to stay for three years right now. That’s going to be in the future. And we need a lot more to happen inside of the sport of CrossFit in order for it to be a viable profession for athletes. I still think it’s crazy when I hear teenagers say, I’m going to forego college to do CrossFit. And it’s like, what if you’re not inside of the top 10 women? In top nine men, you’re going to be earning maybe 30 a year maybe. Maybe you’re better off just working at a bar and making 45, 50 a year scrubbing dishes and still doing CrossFit because there’s still going to be a large gap for you to continue to improve.
(13:16):
But I would love to see, and it’s a conversation for a different day, but I’d love to see in the future where training companies like us think Tank Mayhem, I dunno how CompTrain is, but underdogs, all these other major companies, they have the backing of these major sponsors to pick up these athletes and then these agents can actually make some real deals. I hear it all the time from my buddy Cooper, Cooper Marsh and Zach Long. It’s like it’s frustrating to be an athlete and trying to get your manager and your agent to make these deals. And it’s like, look, these companies aren’t looking for another influencer. It’s like, what are they going to pay you 400 bucks a month? Either way, without getting off,
Sevan Matossian (14:10):
My toothpaste is about to launch. You might be a great, I might have to sponsor you. Are you accepting sponsorships? God, you got a nice grill. You and Dave Castro would be my first two sponsors. What are you, what ethnicity are you? I’m not sure. He fills my Latin
Matt Torres (14:27):
Protocol. Damn all. What do you want me to be?
Sevan Matossian (14:33):
My Latin needs my South American marketing arm.
Matt Torres (14:36):
Damn. Look at that girl the first time. Dude. The first time. I
Sevan Matossian (14:38):
Really am coming out with a toothpaste. Dude, I’m not joking.
Matt Torres (14:41):
I can’t tell if you’re joking
Sevan Matossian (14:42):
Or not. No, I am I a tooth powder. I’m coming out with a tooth powder. Lemme see. Mockup. I apologize. Okay, I will. I will. I’ve partnered with Dale King. I use tooth powder. I’m totally against fluoride. It’s a neurotox. What’s powder? You basically, you wet your toothbrush and then you bang it on the side and you dip it in. First of all, my mom and my sister have these really nice white teeth.
Matt Torres (15:03):
You’re not serious right now.
Sevan Matossian (15:06):
I’m completely serious.
Matt Torres (15:09):
I’m not
Sevan Matossian (15:09):
Going to believe this. Let me even tell you what’s even crazier about it. It’s like ground up eggshells and baking powder. Dude, you’re going to love it. And so what the thing is is that it has no fluoride in it. Fluoride’s just bad for you. We will talk later. But I’m serious. I am serious. I I’m so excited to talk to you. I feel like I’m with a girl and I just want to just take her top off and I’m just so fucking excited. But I need to chill. Hey, there’s so many subjects I want to hit with you that it’s like I need to chill. Sorry. Come
Matt Torres (15:43):
On. Heavy. I might reciprocate.
Sevan Matossian (15:45):
I need 10 minutes to just ease in work with me. I’m supposed to calm you down. You need to calm me down.
Matt Torres (15:50):
I think you already worked up from the whole power outage issue
Sevan Matossian (15:54):
Probably. Okay. It just threw me off my game and I’m all nervous. Yeah, you’re
Matt Torres (15:59):
Overcompensating. Just
Sevan Matossian (16:00):
Fair, fair, fair,
Matt Torres (16:02):
Fair. Look at that. You’re leaning into the mic. You’re not even relaxed. Well,
Sevan Matossian (16:06):
Because I’m out of focus back here. Look at me. My camera. My camera turned off. My focus is all fucked
Matt Torres (16:10):
Up. I see. Okay, I see. I see.
Sevan Matossian (16:13):
To 12 daily dosage. Take her top off. What are you, 11? Yeah, just want to just see the bra and shit, see if it’s a funny or vay. Okay, where were we? Back to Brute. So Roman comes and is it a cool departure when he leaves or is it contentious or you can’t even tell because he’s Russian?
Matt Torres (16:40):
No. Well at this time. At this time, Roman,
Sevan Matossian (16:44):
He was great. Roman right too. He was great. It’s not like his training was suffering or his placement of suffering. He was savage.
Matt Torres (16:51):
So when I picked up Roman from the airport, he was in Wisconsin. I think Matt, Bruce was getting word that he was potentially going to go over to Mayhem and he reached out to me. He is like, dude, you got to get him. So I picked him up. Granted, he’s been in the States I think for a month, so he doesn’t know any English at all. And I guess his English is slowly starting to pick up. So every time we talked it was through Google Translate or his translator, his manager maybe, or his translator would come on the phone and I would talk to him and then it would be a translation. So we go over to the gym, he does his workout and Grant, I’m not programming for him. He has his own programming from Fowler. The next morning, it’s Saturday, I come in, it’s like two o’clock or not morning or the next day Saturday.
(17:42):
And he’s sitting on the couch and he has his translator on the phone and his translator is just like, we’re leave. And I was like, hold up. There’s been a lot of parts that had to be put together in order to get him down here. It was very stressful for that week of trying to figure everything out. And he was like, he doesn’t think that he can win the CrossFit games here. He thinks that Mayhem is going to be the better option. And I told him, we’ve had athletes at Brute that have left Brute and went to Mayhem. Granted it’s always been with Fowler, so the relationship was they were going to head over to Tennessee and they were going to keep doing Fowler’s programming and everything was going to be fine. Now this time around, when Fast forward to, he goes over to Mayhem and Trains, he is actually still brute. So he was at Mayhem Training, still brute, and he goes over to the games and I think he gets what, third, or maybe second, not last year, but the year before. And then that year he drops Fowler and then he gets whatever he got last year, third or second or something.
Sevan Matossian (19:03):
12 daily doses. Look it. This guy and I are like mortal enemies. He used to donate money all the time and now you’re here and he’s back. He hasn’t donated money in a year. I mean, I’ve fought with this guy. Good. Merry Christmas. Sev on Vacate for a while. So looking forward to mornings with you for a while, babe. Babe. 50 bucks.
Matt Torres (19:24):
Solid.
Sevan Matossian (19:25):
Fuck. Maybe I could pay that to, what’s the guy’s name? Roman. And he could come here.
Matt Torres (19:32):
Yeah. I feel like Roman’s doing well.
Sevan Matossian (19:37):
You mean financially well or is training Well,
Matt Torres (19:39):
I think financially Well, I think he’s doing, I mean he lives in Tennessee. It can’t be that expensive to live.
Sevan Matossian (19:46):
And he got third place money he got.
Matt Torres (19:48):
Yeah. And they just got paid a week ago.
Sevan Matossian (19:52):
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, so he’s flush right now?
Matt Torres (19:54):
Yeah, I
Sevan Matossian (19:55):
Think he’s You don’t like how long it took him to get paid, do you?
Matt Torres (19:59):
No,
Sevan Matossian (19:59):
I personally don’t care. I’m okay with it. I heard you say if they’re going to be professional athletes, they got to get paid sooner. But what about the drug testing thing?
Matt Torres (20:07):
I’ll say this. I don’t know enough information to have a talk about why they’re getting paid so late. Drug testing. I mean, just I guess consider other sports that have drug testing.
Sevan Matossian (20:18):
Right? Test them faster. Don’t be a douche.
Matt Torres (20:21):
How difficult can this really be?
Sevan Matossian (20:24):
Why do they need their money so fast anyway though? Just chill. Just chill.
Matt Torres (20:28):
I mean, a lot of these people depend on it.
Sevan Matossian (20:33):
Nah, just move back home with your dad.
Matt Torres (20:36):
Exactly. That’s it right there. These athletes are risking far more because there’s not enough money in this sport than any other sport. I think the MMA back way, way, way back in the day when Reebok was the title sponsor, I think the money that I was hearing that they were making compared to what the owner of MMA was making, it was just like
Sevan Matossian (21:00):
Nothings changed. Being a fighter, the top 1% are getting, and I’m personally okay with it, but you have more intimate relationship with these athletes than I do. But the top 1% are getting 90% of the money.
Matt Torres (21:11):
And I would say it holds true in CrossFit as well, specifically for sponsorships. I mean, this is it. It’s like if you’re a male, you have to be winning and if you’re a female, you could be good, but it’s like you have to be likable. Right? Right. And so you don’t have to necessarily be winning to earn a great income in the sport.
Sevan Matossian (21:36):
And even if you’re likable, dude, Emily Rolfe should be like queen of CrossFit, I think. I don’t understand what the fuck’s going on. Someone needs to fucking get her and Catapult. She’s cool as shit. She was on the podcast. She’s fucking smoking. She’s crazy athletic someone Someone needs to get her and use her and launch her into the stratosphere.
Matt Torres (22:00):
Yeah, she’s a cool girl.
Sevan Matossian (22:02):
She should be one of the In the million club.
Matt Torres (22:06):
Yeah. I mean, I don’t know enough about that side of the sport to really understand
Sevan Matossian (22:16):
The 12-year-old Instagram TikTok side.
Matt Torres (22:18):
Yeah. Yeah.
Sevan Matossian (22:20):
How about that post? Danielle made an insane post the other day. She said something about, God, where’s Caleb when you need him? She said something like, hold on, hold on. Does my Instagram even work? I got keep getting kicked off. How do you search on this thing? Oh, I’m not even signed in anymore. I’ve been out of town. I’ve been out of town. Bear with me,
Matt Torres (22:45):
Bear with me. Come on man. You’ve been on vacation.
Sevan Matossian (22:47):
I don’t do vacations.
Matt Torres (22:49):
No.
Sevan Matossian (22:50):
Yeah. Don’t use that word around me. You triggered me. I do. You do vacations. I don’t. I don’t. Yeah. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. How many fucking accounts does Danielle Brandon have now how do you go to that account? Doesn’t work.
Matt Torres (23:07):
Lemme see what. So wait,
Sevan Matossian (23:09):
Are you still dating her?
Matt Torres (23:11):
Is there information about this documentary coming out from the games?
Sevan Matossian (23:16):
There is. Oh, look at you. You want to trade information?
Matt Torres (23:20):
Well, I saw what you posted on it,
Sevan Matossian (23:25):
But Oh, mines different than hers. Mine’s different than hers.
Matt Torres (23:28):
Hers. No, I mean from you. From you.
Sevan Matossian (23:31):
Oh yeah. Very soon. Very soon.
Matt Torres (23:32):
It’s like what? Seven episodes
Sevan Matossian (23:34):
More. 14 episodes.
Matt Torres (23:36):
Solid. That’s good, man. You’re trying to bring that spark back.
Sevan Matossian (23:40):
Yeah. You guys are going to love it. It’s so good. It’s so good. Okay, listen to this. She writes, sometimes when I have so many layers on people around me don’t even know the rig that’s under here. That’s fucking brilliant, isn’t it? Yeah. Does she write her own shit?
Matt Torres (23:58):
Of course. You know what it is, is she’s relatable because she’s human. It’s not just fitness, nutrition, sleep, recovery sets and reps all the time. I mean the common me, I’m one of ’em. You the common folk. We’re not just thinking of how we can be better fitness all the time. I think that’s what makes her relatable. I think that’s the reason why a lot of people enjoy her. And when you meet her in person, it is just a super nice human.
Sevan Matossian (24:37):
She’s not bossy.
Matt Torres (24:40):
No, not friendship wise. She’s bossy when she needs to be bossy as far as work goes,
Sevan Matossian (24:49):
She’s not bossy. High maintenance. I figure this is seriously what I think of Danielle, Brandon. Everyone’s like, oh my god, pit bulls are so nice. I love pit bull. The Stafford Terriers so good, the greatest dog ever. Oh, they’re totally misunderstood. But every time you go to the fucking dog park, that one asshole dog that’s taking the ball from every other dog until it escalates into a fight is a fucking pit bull. And that’s how I figured Danielle to be. You got her at home, you’re sitting on the couch, it’s all good. You get outside, their fucking ball rolls by and it’s fucking pandemonium. That’s kind of how is there,
Matt Torres (25:23):
I think? Alright, so I can see where you’re coming from. Think about it more like this comparison is if all people see is what you’re doing at work and you’re high level leader in your job and all they ever see is you at work, sometimes it may look like it’s not the most pleasant environment, but look, you want to be great and people are getting the inside scoop on, again, high level C level if you will, employees at a Fortune 500 company. It’s not going to look like everyone’s shaking each other’s hands and giving each other’s hugs and rooting each other on. They’re going to be like, look, get your shit done. Or I have another person coming in here the next quarter that’s going to replace you and it’s a very high stressful job. But if these same type of documentaries or whatever, whatnot, follow her just on a daily basis and go out with her when she’s having dinners and she’s just going out afterwards to enjoy her night, you’re going to find that people are going to be like, wait a second. And that’s what tends to happen, I think is when people say, Danielle is one of the nicest CrossFitters I’ve ever met. She actually gave me the time of day to talk to me and she was just laughing with me. And that is the part that’s not aired, but the part that is inside of your place of work that is very high tension and extremely competitive. So I think that’s the tough part about it is it’s just the way it is.
Sevan Matossian (27:00):
She doesn’t seem to mind it that characterization of her and she shouldn’t. I think of her as hyper competitive. I don’t mean it in a derogatory way
Matt Torres (27:10):
I don’t think. Maybe a little whatever. It is what it is. It’s like she can’t be out here changing people’s minds. She just needs to do her job
Sevan Matossian (27:19):
And people love it. People just love her. I’m sorry, one second. David, you’re such a fucking moron, dude. You are completely out of your fucking mind. If Danny did the same post, Stevon would go bat shit crazy. I would love it if Danny did that instead of starts, instead of fucking shaking her ass in her tits around and acting like, no, she doesn’t want anyone to stare at it. I would love it if she did that. If she was like, ladies and gentlemen, the world’s greatest ass. Instead of filling her Instagram with 600,000 photos of her ass and saying, don’t stare at it. You’re a fucking idiot. You’re on timeout. Get the fuck out of here. Fucking trolling piece of shit. Okay, back to the show. Met Danielle at Northeast Semis, easily the most approachable athlete. Yeah, she’s great.
Matt Torres (28:04):
Yeah.
Sevan Matossian (28:06):
Trigger level. David. Eight out of 10. Sorry, I want to give you a nine. So bad. It’s probably more like a six. But I tried to put on a show for,
Matt Torres (28:15):
It’s funny, it’s funny when you get triggered, but then you laugh at yourself because you got triggered.
Sevan Matossian (28:21):
Yeah.
(28:23):
I’m trying to put it on a show here for the coach. Okay. I want to go back to that three year thing you said, I’m not letting you off the hook with that. There’s something you said that’s like two things that I’m having trouble. What’s it called? Reconciling? On one hand you’re saying you don’t want to keep an athlete somewhere that doesn’t want to be there. Don’t convince ’em. In the other hand, you’re saying, Hey, it would be nice as coaches if we could get a three-year commitment to people because of the energy we’re putting into ’em.
Matt Torres (28:51):
Yeah. So let’s say in that example is if an athlete wants to get traded in this example, we would find a way to trade the athlete, right? Okay. If we don’t feel like they are performing at their best or whatever particular reason, then we find a reason to trade an athlete. But in the way the sport’s designed right now, and it usually happens at times of the year where a big competition just changed and everyone’s looking for changes every year after the CrossFit games, things get shaken up and then things go, how cool would it be? I don’t know how much sports you watch, but how cool would it be to have a trade deadline? And then athletes are becoming free agents and it’s another storyline. Here’s thing, the storylines are great and all, but I think what’s even more important is creating a sport where athletes can actually make money. So each camp or team would have five spots for a top tier male, top tier female, and then tier.
