Speaker 1 (00:02):
Everybody’s welcome, peace and love. It’s bam, we’re live.
Sevan Matossian (00:10):
Bam, we’re live. I was hoping that would cheer me up.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Good morning. Good morning.
Sevan Matossian (00:36):
Yesterday, Matt, Susan, I met with our YouTube ambassador. I don’t know if that’s the right word. I don’t even know what I’m saying, but basically YouTube reached out to us and they’re like, Hey, you have an, I don’t know if it’s an ambassador, but we have someone at YouTube now that I guess our station, I guess our channel reached a certain status where I guess our station reached a certain status to where we have someone there we can just talk to directly. So if we have a question
(01:37):
And she said, what are some of your goals? Oh, thank you, account manager. And she said, what are some of your goals? Do you want more subscribers? Susan and I are like, no, we don’t want more subscribers. She’s like, you don’t? We’re like, no, we don’t. Why would we want more subscribers? And there was no answer. I forget what she said. Whatever she said, it didn’t resonate with me. And I said, what we want is people who want to see this show or people who are interested in the show or people who want to engage with the show, we would like, it’d be easier for them to find.
(02:36):
And then I just remembered the world I lived in. It came racing back to me. I guess people want subscribers or followers, I guess that’s how they think. They’re not like, Hey, I want to put out really great content, and people who like that content will come, but I guess some would just be happy if it just said a hundred thousand subscribers. And I live in a world with people who think differently. I guess. Why would you want subscribers if they weren’t your subscribers, if they weren’t there for you, if you weren’t actually providing something for them? Why would I just want, just want subscribers?
(03:34):
It’s weird. If someone has a million subscribers and all their videos only have like 800 views, then those aren’t even views or even 5,000 views, then those aren’t even views. Those are people that just clicked over it. Some percentage, that’s just that. Just clicking over it. Andrew Hiller put on 20, I don’t know, 25,000 Instagram followers during the CrossFit games this year. It’s probably more followers than probably anyone in the space put on, including probably most of the athletes. And what you have to know about those 25,000 followers he put on, those are real people right now. Those people came to him wanting something from him that he vibes. And so those 25,000 Instagram followers are probably more powerful than most of the peoples in the space. Million Instagram followers meaning powerful, meaning they’re more active, they’re more influential in that ecosystem. Those are people who are really want to engage with Andrew, especially right now,
(05:18):
Chris Bier Field. The vibe is really low today. I don’t want to be here today. I can’t ever remember not wanting to be here. I don’t want to be here today. I’m going through something right now. Now let me tell you what I’m going through. Everywhere I look, I’m seeing something I really want to like people. My homeostasis is I really want to like people and I don’t mind not liking people, but I really want to like people and even people I don’t like, I know somewhere inside of me, I really like them, but everywhere I look, people are saying shit everywhere I look, that’s just completely fucking blowing my mind and making it.
(06:06):
Like yesterday I got on the assault bike and I clicked on one podcast and they started saying just stuff that was just, I just can’t believe the shit people are saying right now, and I’m going to give you some examples. And then I click to another podcast and someone says the same thing, and I click to another podcast and someone says the same thing and I click to another podcast and someone says the same thing, and I see all these people fucking going live, and I know it’s those same people that my account manager at YouTube was referencing. It’s people who want subscribers.
(06:41):
When the account manager asked me yesterday, she said, how do you engage with people? I’m like, what do you mean? How do I engage with people? She’s like, well, what are you doing to engage with them? And she gave some explanation that didn’t even make sense to me. I didn’t even know what she meant. But once again, it was to just get people to just follow you. Are you juggling balls to engage with them? I go, Hey, I just go on every morning at 7:00 AM That’s all I do. That’s my whole shtick. Just go on every morning at 7:00 AM Delete Instagram. Are you kidding me? I love Instagram. Why would I do that?
(07:25):
But it’s the stuff my friends are saying. It’s the stuff my peers are saying. Let me tell you my favorite one. We need to get rid of volunteers at these events if they’re volunteers and get paid people. And I’m like, are you listening to yourself? Do you remember the argument between Paleo and Zone? Do you remember that argument between Paleo and Zone? And I would listen to people having it and I would be like, man, I had no idea. My friends were. So you just see this massive flaw in their thinking, just crazy, crazy flaw in their thinking. For those of you who don’t know, zone is a way of eating in regards to quantity and macros and paleo is a eating philosophy in terms of the quality of the food you eat. And so they’re not at odds with each other at all. At all. You can eat zone and paleo at the same time. The zone can determine the quantity and the macro content and the paleo determines the quality of the food. And so I would see them fighting and I was like, this is what is going on here.
(08:59):
Who cares if the person is, don’t you just want the best people out there? You’re telling me when you’re arguing about volunteers versus paid people as your argument, you’re telling me that you would rather have someone who’s a lifeguard for five years at a local pool who has never saved someone’s life, but they’re paid over someone who’s a 25 years firefighter, ran the lifeguard service for 10 years and has saved 32 people in ocean rescues and resuscitated them because they’re not paid. And it’s endless noise out there. I saw a post this morning and it started with I’m a mom. I’m a mom. And then it went into all of her feelings. Well, and then just defending the athletes and attacking everyone outside who’s not an athlete. And I’m thinking, but that girl on the paddleboard might be a mom and she has a mom, and how are you using the premise that you’re a mom and you feel for a mom, but it only goes this way, but not for these people who have moms.
(10:27):
And everywhere I look, I see that. I just keep seeing the same thing. We want change, we want change, we want change. And I’m like, man, my cohort is so damaged. They’re saying the most wild things, so I don’t want to look up anymore. You know what I mean? It makes me want to just live in my world. It makes me just want to live in my world because I don’t want to dislike those people. You know what I mean? I want to like those people. I guess I, I’m in denial or I’m having trouble watching them process. I guess I’ve said some pretty venomous things here. I made that post about going after those people and then this morning I just didn’t have the stomach for it. I’m like, Hey, should I pull up? I’m reading this post and I’m like, should I just go through it line for line and break this person down about just how ridiculous it is, what they’re saying? And I just don’t have the stomach for it. Don’t sorry if I’m letting some of you guys down, I just don’t have the stomach for it. Turn off my social media. I love my social media. Not turn off my social media. It’s so fucking cool. It’s so funny. It brings me so much happiness. It’s so cool. It’s hilarious. Why would I do that? Look at this. This is so good. Why would I turn this off?
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Went to the cafe yesterday sitting there, and then I overheard a couple having an argument. When you hear that sweet nectar of life when you pause your own music and they’re going at it, and then I look who the couple is, it’s two gay guys going at it. Shit was crazy. They like both made sense. Everybody stayed on one topic. Nobody was bringing up old shit. Just two logical superior brains trying to find a solution. Thank you very much. Thank you. He’s a beast. An absolute Estonian monster. Thank you. The cold-blooded Estonian assassin. Thank you, Tony. Oh god, that was beautiful. What a fucking work of art. That joke
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Is. Yeah, you should have held on to that. That was like a special joke.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I went, damn,
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Damn.
Sevan Matossian (13:51):
Two logical beans talking, not
(13:54):
Bringing up old shit.
(14:01):
Fuck.
(14:01):
I love men, but God, you should see my wife in the morning. It’s fucking crazy. She has the craziest fucking body and in the morning she never has any blankets or sheets on her, and she sleeps in her underwear in this little tiny fucking spaghetti strap thing. And she has this fucking, my wife has this crazy V back and the nicest skin on her back. Oh my God. She has this crazy ass. She does so much fucking squatting. My God. That’s why I was so defensive in the Tanner Shuck video video about air squats. My wife does so many air squats and lunges. It’s fucking nuts. It’s fucking crazy. You guys wouldn’t believe what she looks like. And she has nutty, nutty, nutty. She has Alex Gaza. Hair.
(14:53):
Hair. My wife’s like an old Alex Gaza. That’s probably why I like Gaza so much, and it’s all mine. I’ve made some changes since Lazars passing, since coming home. I put her boobs in. I put her boobs in my mouth at least once a day since I’ve been home. I’m not wasting time now. So I used to bone a lot in the morning, but now I have three boys, and my wife has beautiful arms too. It’s crazy. Her whole body’s crazy. I haven’t used the X exerciser yet. The X exerciser just sitting in my garage. It’s still in its cardboard box. I’ve been just neglecting all my sponsors and everything. I need to stop doing that. We need change. We need change. We need change. We need change. We need change.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
We need change. We need change. We need change. We need change. We need change. We need change. Oh, I saw
Sevan Matossian (16:39):
Jessica. That was awesome. God, that was nice seeing you and hugging you. You’re cool. Thank you for stopping me when I didn’t want to see anybody hearing you talk about your wife like that. It is kind of nice to hear. I hear complaints from guys at work. They get no validation from their spouses at home. I don’t know if I get validation, but I mean, I think I’m pretty fucking cool that I have that in my bed. Positively. Fit adventures morning. My favorite morning’s my favorite, but my wife’s favorite is at night I’ll compromise with both. Yeah, whatever. Yeah, so I don’t want before it. I’m going to dislike everyone around me if I keep reading their stuff. It’s just a straight, it’s just straight. I saw a post yesterday, someone sent
Speaker 3 (17:53):
It to me and
Sevan Matossian (18:01):
We need change. We need change. Don fall and Dave, they need to go down. And then it spun off into all this negativity. It was like five slides of just vitriol and there were one or two slides that just said something nice, rest in peace, Lazarus or something like that, or I hope we can all heal from this or something like that. And the person who sent it to me sent it to me because they’re like, Hey, look in the comments. And I looked in the comments and there it was. One of my favorite people in the whole world wrote, and I have a hundred or a thousand favorite people in the whole world. It’s like the hottest girl in the world. There’s like a million of them anyway, and this person wrote, we need more of this.
(18:58):
And I’m like, wow, we need more of this. Or it said something like, I wish more people would see this. So I copied the post and I sent it to that person and I said, did you go through all the slides of this? I’m like auditing someone’s comment to them personally. And they said, oh shit, no, I didn’t. Oh wow. I didn’t see it. Said all that. And then I knew, I was like, man, I’m in a, that’s not good. That’s not good. Tomorrow I’m going to have Jared Ellis on. And he wrote a book called Prayer Warrior when I was, I dunno, 20 through 25 when I was making my serious pursuit to find God.
(20:00):
And I mean serious fucking pursuit. I mean serious. I give you going days without talking to people, not saying a word, fasting, reading every fucking book I could get listening to a Bible on audio, reading the Koran, fucking studying as much Buddhist scripture as I could, just digging, living the aesthetic life barefoot, having no belongings, no home, just fucking tons and tons of fucking alone time, days, just years of that pursuit. There were these books I would come across and they would be these books about people who’ve been through just insane tragedies, like women who were held in prisons and who were just held there and just for sex. From guys, for guys or Holocaust, the people who lived in Auschwitz who were there for four or five years. Just books like that. There’s books like that. Just people who have survived these incredible ordeals and how they made it through. I’m going to tie this to having Jared Ellison tomorrow, the prayer warrior and all of those people get through it the same way. At some point they reach this level of acceptance and it’s like all the vitriol and anger and hatred, it all goes away. They reach some level of enlightenment to where they’re accepting their life.
(22:12):
It’s like the way out is so fucking tiny of massive pain. And it’s the same for everyone. Everyone’s like, we need change. We need, no, not that. You know how everyone’s going through all their pains and struggles. I’ll give you an example. What I see in the comments, so what I saw in the comments yesterday from the show with Greg, that anytime you switch the conversation from blaming people, the people who really want to stick to just blaming, get really fucking angry and they start attacking you. They struggle with the fucking conversation. All they want to talk about is blame. They’re so focused on it. And because they’re so focused on blame that they can’t even see other arguments. And so if you say something like, what was the temperature of the water? They’ll be like, it doesn’t matter. The lifeguard should have got ’em. Okay, I accept that. And then you’re like, but what was the temperature of the water? They’re like, it doesn’t matter. I mean, even if you accept their entire premise, which most of them I do, I accept it. I’ve said it on the show many times. I accept it, I understand it, and I don’t just accept it. I’m with you on it could have been prevented, the drowning, the heart attack, he all of it could have been prevented. I agree. But the second you start looking at, they don’t want to switch.
(23:56):
But that route, whether it be for Luca and his family or all of the athletes or anyone, that a hundred percent that going down that route doesn’t bring you peace. The drunk driver that killed your kids, him going to jail or him getting in the electric chair or you beating him with the steel pipe, that route doesn’t give you peace. That’s not the way out. That’s not the way all of these people who’ve been through fucking horrible shit get out. That’s not how you eventually come back to reality and can start living again. No, you guys can send me whatever you want. Don’t worry about that. It’s not like that. It’s not like that. I’m a big boy. Judy said, can we all agree not to sense the savvy stuff like this? No, don’t worry. It’s not like that. Positively fit adventures. I’ve had that happen a lot lately too. Most of these posts are virtue signaling and hear me out as much as I love Hiller, I’m getting tired of his posts about this. Thank you for the $10. What do you think about what Hinshaw is saying right now?
Speaker 3 (25:27):
You’ll need to unlock your iPhone first
Sevan Matossian (25:34):
Where I’m at this morning. So that’s the thing I like. I love Hinshaw
Speaker 3 (25:45):
And so over
Sevan Matossian (25:46):
Here I have this side of me like, yep, I don’t even want to do it. I don’t even want to do it. I love
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Hinshaw.
Sevan Matossian (26:07):
Can I send my nudes please? Thank God. Please God. I love nudes.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Hinshaw Hinshaw is my friend. I just reached this point
Sevan Matossian (26:37):
And I love the athletes, but so I’ve reached a limit with my capacity for some of the stuff that I’m seeing out there. It’s just like, wow, I just cannot fucking believe what I’m seeing out there. And it’s just so much illogical thinking, how can you start the premise of your entire post that I’m a mother but then not be a mother to everybody? And then I start judging the person who wrote the post and I’m like, wow.
(27:44):
Yeah. Did you see the liver king at the games? I was texting with them and he was sending me a bunch of videos and we were going back and forth, but I didn’t get over. I didn’t get over to ’em. I didn’t really see anyone at the games. I stayed filming and I stayed in kind of the underground area as much as I could to collect all the interviews. I only came out once in a while and when I did, I came out to the media pit and I didn’t have, the games were weird. And already even before Lazar died, they were weird. I just didn’t have the access that I wanted. And so I was really anxious about making sure I got as much stuff as I could in the areas that were in. So I never went over to where he was sitting. I don’t have any time for that. It’s not Sarah Cooper. So much noise until the facts are released. It’s not just the noise, it’s the lack of clarity in thinking, I want change, I want change, I want change. So is the change you want for the games to happen every four years and it be taken down to four events. You’re pushing, you’re pushing for something and you’re like a little kid that’s poking a hornet’s nest. I had a friend, I had a friend
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Who told me a story
Sevan Matossian (29:27):
About a compound they had to take. And this compound was surrounded by a 12 foot wall with five buildings inside. And him and his buddies approached the compound and his job was to get on the roof of one of the buildings in the compound and throw a grenade into one of the rooms through the window. And he threw the grenade in through the window and he missed it, bounced out. So he threw another grenade in through the window and he missed, and it bounced out.
