Bam. I know what you’re wondering. When are you going to get one of those fancy layouts? So your face is up in the left hand side and there’s some sponsors below, and it looks like one of those typical YouTube news shows. Soon, very, very soon. Until then, you’re just going to have to deal with sweaty me in my throwback frowning shirt. I got the phone number today from one of the biggest CEOs in the athletic wear company space. Pretty excited. I’m looking for a sponsor to cover behind the scenes for four of the semi-finals, and if that gets done, I will make it my intention to bring you guys behind the scenes from Tor and Pro the French throw down, the Knoxville Eastern North America event and the West Coast North America event. I know those directors are probably saying, Hey, asshole, we didn’t promise you that, but take it as I’m offering you my services and I’ll cover it and glorify your event and your athletes.
(01:10):
But we are looking for a big sponsor and we have some really big people interested. They know that they’ll be working with the best. That is me and my team and people who will always give more than they promise and who are doing it with all the love and passion that you could expect from the best in the field. So pretty pumped about that. Speaking of the best, the very best in the space news coverage period, hands down. I’ve said it for two years now. I don’t even know his real name. I call him Brian Spin of the Barbell Spin.
(01:46):
It’s the fastest news. It’s the most comprehensive news. It’s the most complete news. It’s the least biased news. He’s on Instagram. He’s on YouTube. I dunno if I’m supposed to tell you this. He’s a father, he’s a businessman. He’s a full-time job. The guy is a beast. Good clean again. Yeah, better clean. Behind the paywall of the largest weightlifting event in the world of its kind. This European weightlifting event where our very own, the intriguing, the beautiful, the dominant, the ever athletic, our queen, the fittest woman on earth, Laura Horvat, he’s gone behind their paywall and grabbed her weightlifting competition and put it in a compilation and brought it forward.
(02:43):
We should be so thankful for this. We should be so thankful for this. There are huge companies out there with athletes who do these sideshow things, do things that fall within the discipline but actually aren’t their sport. Let’s say like UFC fighters who do jujitsu matches, and those are billion dollar enterprises and they barely have stuff like this. And we have Mr. Spin bringing us Laura Horvat, mysterious, intriguing. We don’t have a lot of contact with her and here he is, goes behind the paywall and brings it. I’m so proud to know this guy to be able to work with this guy to be able to get help from this guy. If you don’t subscribe to the barbell spin, subscribe, the guy is a workhorse. If crossword were to give an award for Best Outside Media, I would say he’s definitely in the running, so go check that out.
(03:35):
He has a YouTube station, the barbell Spin, subscribe, ask for all the, what are those called? Not warnings. What’s this thing called? Subscribe and Oh, all notifications. Anyway. Brian Spin, regular on the Sev on podcast has his own show. We share the greatest analyst in the sport together. John Young. He has the funny and ever competent strong man nerd. Tyler Watkins is a sidekick. Also just a great goop, goop, goop of guys. I announced this last week. You heard it where? Well, you can hear it again right now from the two time champ, the third fittest male CrossFitter that’s ever lived behind. Rich Ronan and Matt Fraser, the third best male CrossFitter ever has an announcement he wants to share, although I made it a few days ago. Here we go.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Hey, before you close up, check your text between Daniel Sweet. Okay, well, I messed up earlier and I said that
Sevan Matossian (04:37):
He messed up earlier. You only messed up once. We’re going to give you another shot this year. Go ahead.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
I didn’t think that one of the open announcements would be in, or we would be doing it in week two because there’s lunges in it and you need bigger space and we are doing 20.
Sevan Matossian (04:55):
Did he just announce the movement? Do we know the movements? Do we know the movements of the open workouts?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
24.2 in the Shred Shed. It’s going to be fricking inside.
Sevan Matossian (05:07):
He’ll be doing 24.2 in the Shred Shed. I messed that up for you guys. Sorry, we’re not going back. But that’s what he just announced on his YouTube station with the beautiful and ever talented Ellie Turner. And then I think that might be the dog walker or something.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
I am so freaking excited. I’ve kept the secret. Yeah, do the
Sevan Matossian (05:27):
Thing. Oh, all I’m doing is watching. Ellie is he announces it. She’s processing some heavy shit, some heavy shit there. All I’m doing is watching Ellie.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
It’s
Sevan Matossian (05:42):
Crazy. I think Ellie’s bummed because she has to go back to Europe and this great event’s being done in her gym, in her boyfriend’s gym. Fiance’s gym, husband’s gym. Not brother or father’s gym.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
He has been a part of Open Announcements before, which is a super cool opportunity. I grew up doing crosses in 2012 and watching them to be a part of them is insane. And now to be able to host one in my home gym, it’s still crazy that even have this place. I look at it every single day and there’s so many people that have made it possible.
Sevan Matossian (06:18):
I love how excited Justin is. Congratulations Justin. Justin, Justin, Justin. It’s going to be great. Colt Mertens is going to be there. It’s going to be interesting to see how those two interact. I am probably going to go back and watch this four more times so I can watch Ellie’s reaction. She something’s up. Some things. Another news. Jay de Koons, the affiliate director for Cross. He’s the top dog reports directly to Don Fall. He is the man. If you’re an affiliate, he is your man. He is your pilot. He guides your ship. He’s with the long since retired, Chris Speer from 2007, 8, 9, 10, 11, let’s say 12 CrossFit games, maybe the smallest guy ever to have success in the CrossFit space. De Koons was in, looks like Park City, Utah. I believe that’s where spiels Jim is. Speer was an affiliate then. I think he de affiliated and apparently he’s an affiliate Again, good to see De Koons is making his way around, checking out some of the old school fools. Good to see that. And I heard De Koons was yoked and he looks pretty yoked there. Looks like Ben Bergeron yoked. You know what I mean? Anyway, there we go. J De Koons, Mr. Speer Ser also was, had a renewed fame when he was the first person in the CrossFit community come out with a, I got Covid video. I dunno if you guys remember that. That was pretty ridiculous. Here we go. Mark Zuckerberg and Sean O’Malley at UFC.
(07:58):
What a trip to see these two together. Wow. I wonder if one of those guys is smelling the other guy’s breath right now. Anyway, look, Zuck got better seats than O’Malley. The champion does not get the seats that one of the most powerful men in the world who pushed drugs on our kids for two years. School closures, censorship gets better seats than we do. We do than the champ does. Worth noting. Finally, what everyone’s talking about in the CrossFit community. Who punched, who hit rich Froning in the face? Who hit Froning in the face? Look at that. Look at that. We know it’s not a curling iron or a hair straightener. What happened to Froning?
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Wait for at least 200. 200. All right, I’ll just talk until then. They can go back. I know how it works for you. Elephant in the room. I got hit in the face with a baseball from Trice. So that’s what this is
Sevan Matossian (09:05):
Now. That’s not the accountability or personal responsibility I’d like from the champ. Yeah, Mr. Froning. We’ll talk about that. You are accusing your son of hitting you in the face with a baseball. You mean you weren’t looking, you didn’t have your hands up. I can’t believe your son would just throw it at you. Good boy like that. Good Tennessee boy. Well, Froning on soon to get to the bottom of that, but Rich Froning hit in the face with a baseball. Dude, that is crazy. Rich Bruise is like a girl. Damn. Oh, I’m going to pay for that. Also in the news, this guy has made the news before. I don’t know his name. He looks like he gets his shirts from Haley Adams closet. 15 sizes too big. He looks like he has a subscription to the Craig Ritchie hobo clothing line. He lifts weights with Taylor self riding. Taylor self’s jock for fame. Here we go.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Savon, if you’re watching this trigger warning, there’s two dogs here today. You Pepper. He’s not watching this. Just so you know. He’s probably on the assault. Bike coasting.
Sevan Matossian (10:21):
Oh, I’m on the assault. Bike coasting, huh? Funny. Mr. Five shirt’s too big. Tough guy.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Oh, he’s doing such a hard workout right now.
Sevan Matossian (10:36):
Oh, Taylor’s got my back though. Watch this. Taylor puts him in his place. Taylor won’t tolerate that shit.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Or binge eating goji berries and pistachios. A handful of pistachios. You rich. Fuck 20 RPMs on the assault bike watching podcasts on 1.5. A handful of pistachios.
Sevan Matossian (10:55):
You son of a bitch. Okay, fine. Let’s watch Taylor lift this
(11:08):
Stupid lowering it to his back like that. Taylor doing 1 55 for three. It’s a good series, guys. This micd up series they’re doing. It’s crazy. I think it’s the best workout shit in the space right now. It’s solid. And finally for all of us to laugh at. I do love Jake Paul. I love the Paul Brothers. I especially like Jake Paul. He’s outspoken. He’s smart. He’s a thinker. He has said some wise words. He stands by logic and truth. Why though? Why? This is from Dr. Sean Past’s account Y. Why Jake? Why come over to my house? Jake, let’s hang dude. Let’s hang. Let’s do some kettlebell swings together.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
Just like that. Just like that. Six. Yep. Seven. Yep. Eight. Yep.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
You know what always drives me crazy. Good. I’m going to tell you, it’s when people with all of the money in the world who are really serious about what they’re doing are surrounded by people who have no idea what they’re doing.
Sevan Matossian (12:12):
That’s the thing. We know. Jake Paul is serious. He’s the best at everything. He does, but what is this?
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Yeah. Four. Just like that. Five. Just like that. Six. Yep. Seven. Yep. Eight. Yep.
Sevan Matossian (12:35):
Jake, we love you buddy. Reach out to Sean Uch. He’s a good guy, movement expert. Reach out to myself. Reach out to Andrew Hiller, reach out to someone. We’ll get you moving. Right? Believe in you, buddy. You’re a great man doing great things. You got a great future ahead of you, but those are not the way you want to work out. Love you guys.
