i feel like Rich has nothing left to prove. he's done it all and has built a wonderful life for him, his family and the Mayhem family. he's a great example of feeling content with his accomplishments and also taking time to build other athletes; like Haley.
Huh, I was watching a video on the PFAA and the professionalism of CrossFit and this was the next video that cycled. I thought that this rewind of 10 days before the Games was an interesting interview given Lazar’s passing and the PFAA’s contention with Dave’s role. Sevan, I was a little freaked out by your ominous reference to the actor in the Black Panther in the intro. I was half way through it before I realized that this was a video from 3 years ago. Nevertheless, it was a great video… a lot of interesting points. Thank you for your presence in the CrossFit space!
might be the first podcast I've ever listened to where actually WATCHING the individuals speak offered something noticeably different than the simple audio - great podcast!!
Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain cool and unruffled under all circumstances- Thomas Jefferson Dave is an expert at this.
Sevan, it’s great to see you back in front of the camera! When I first got into CF 3 years ago I learned a lot by watching and listening to your interviews. Dave, thanks for sharing your thoughts and insite!Absolutely loved this! Thanks Sevan and @Davecastro
Two guys at the top of their game. 2020 is the perfect environment to test who can best handle the unknown and the unknowable. That's what functional fitness is for. In 3... 2... 1
This just made me a bigger fan of Dave Castro. Called out jocko in the beginning and DEFINITELY called out Froning (respectfully) lol this was a great setup/podcast.
Dave's programming was so military based. shock the mind and see how well the body can perform thereafter..hooah to any 7th division - bayonet division - Light fighters...!!
Good interview except the comments on Rich Froning Jr. Castro doesn't understand how its hard for the body and the sacrifices that family has to make for an individual athlete. Castro should say thank you for what Rich has done and continues to do for the sport.
My opinion dont mean much but I like ol Dave. He just runs with what he believes in. No matter who likes it or agrees with it. He does his job end of of story. If I were a crossfit Athlete it would be a challenge to see what Dave has to throw next just to see if I could get it done.
I don’t agree with Castro’s philosophy on life, the way he communicates or his idea on what a great leader is...but watching that grew my admiration for him hugely, he deserves a lot of respect and I’m glad he’s still around CrossFit.
This was a great interview. I have so much more respect for Dave Castro. I liked him to begin with but I really appreciate what he does more now. I'm so pumped for the 2020 games now!!! In my opinion Rich has nothing left to prove. He doesn't have the passion for individual competition anymore and wouldn't give it 100% (I'm pretty sure he said that in an interview with Craig Richey). Matt will win 6 in a row. Tia might win 7 in a row.
I had watched this before the Games, but came here just to rewatch and tie things back up. Castro is a fucking genius. The degree of his commitment to his craft (and to secrecy) is world class. With Eric at the helm I thing his skills will shine even brighter. As for his Rich comments, I politely disagree. Rich is entering a very unknown space with Haley, and I think that he will be responsible to usher in the new generation of multi year championships through her. And I will love to see that happening. Thanks Sevan, I missed your humor!
Loved the interview!! With regards to the Mat video being more popular than the Tia video, I’ve heard that more UA-cam users are male than female. Don’t know if that’s true, but that might help explain it.
Good job Dave. Numerous awkward moments by Sevan. Sevan keeps trying to stir up controversy, cuts off Dave, and several times didn’t ask questions. First time listening to Sevan. Disappointing interviewer. Seems like he’s more interested in stirring the pot with drama. Dave was awesome and composed.
Sevan is is so awkward, dry sense of humor, uncomfortable interviewer. Always thought that. Dave handles himself well. Si uncomfortable to watch him interview.
Dave calling out rich is ridiculous, Rich has nothing to prove, and has earned evey right to live "comfortable ". From what I have gathered Rich wants to give his time to his family and not to impress Dave Castro.
I'm not disagreeing with you. But I think one of the points Dave was trying to make is that he STILL trains all the time anyways. And he still competes in Team competitions. What's the difference between that and competing in Individual? I see where Dave is coming from on that point. But even if Rich had zero titles, he would still have the right to live his life the way he wants to.
I agree with you Jacob. He also indicated Rich’s priorities changed and his time constraints to train as an individual. But Dave would of like to see Rich compete as an individual to see who would get the 5th title win.
If the perfect athlete is 5’8-5’10, and an athlete is considered an outlier being 6’2+... why not have two divisions based off of height/weight, and those two winners then face off for the overall champion title?
How can Castro be in charge of programming events and lifts, when I've watched him lift and see how horrible his form is. They don't truly care about keeping people safe during these competitions, as you can tell by these challenges as people just get completely sloppy with everything that they do. And then these people think that they're good enough to teach others. It stopped being about fitness and health when they realized they could make money.
hmm i think they respect each other enough to not fake the interaction 🤔 I felt it was honest, I’m finnish though, so maybe we don’t feel cringe the same way 😄
Have always been a fan of Castro. Hope he knows he’s appreciated by the community more than the negative people out there.
No one in the community likes castro what the fuck are you talking about dudes been a douchebag for over 10 years
@@mikasd9 lmao so you're the negative person he was talking about, rest of us like Castro
@@sebgamboa7628 "rest of us" aka random non competitive crossfitter who has never had to interact w castro personally
@@mikasd9 that "douchebag" was also deployed while running the games for a long time so...
sofa king yoked brah Hahahaha share your name bud, let’s see if you’re a somebody, chances are, you’re a nobody

PLEASE have Sevan do behind the scenes. Some of my favorites moments from the past Games came from those videos!

I could listen to Dave all day. I love how his answers are thought out and he doesn't get suckered into anything. 👏🏼👏🏼
Definitely he is a master chess player, no one outsmarts Dave Castro
might be the first podcast I've ever listened to where actually WATCHING the individuals speak offered something noticeably different than the simple audio - great podcast!!
top episode! great conversation, nice to have our viewpoints inline with the director of the sport.
Loved the old podcast/interviews at HQ bring it back full time. Great to get interview with winners of the games
Love this ... The dynamic between you two is fun to watch and great insight into some of Dave’s thoughts .
Hahahah Rich is not falling into this trap guys... he already went there and faced the challenge, he doesn't need to prove anything anymore

Yeah right it's not like he was a navy seal and did tours overseas where he didn't see his family for months on end or anything like that.
This is great Sevan
I love the CALL OUT! Into the STORM...fear chains...great to push us!
I like him! Crossfit wouldn't be the same with him!
Watching this a year later, makes this even better
7 you da man! Keep on keepin on! Love that you just popped up on my feed
Great interview. Thanks you two.
Amazing interview. 👍🏼

Wanted to hear Dave's thoughts on Ricky Garard! Lol. Interesting interview though.
Missed Sevan!! Dave Castro always a gentleman.
This was great! Thanks for putting out
A great podcast, very enjoyable,thank you.
I don’t agree with Castro’s philosophy on life, the way he communicates or his idea on what a great leader is...but watching that grew my admiration for him hugely, he deserves a lot of respect and I’m glad he’s still around CrossFit.
Dave has done well. So many choices in workouts so many decisions you can't please all people all the time.
This was a great interview. I have so much more respect for Dave Castro. I liked him to begin with but I really appreciate what he does more now. I'm so pumped for the 2020 games now!!!

Good Stuff! Dave keep doing you thing Man. You doing great!
Awesome interview! Really enjoyed this video .
GOOD PODCAST!!
Loved the interview!!
With regards to the Mat video being more popular than the Tia video, I’ve heard that more UA-cam users are male than female. Don’t know if that’s true, but that might help explain it.
What humble souls
Sevan’s posture is excellent
Dave is an excellent human being imo.
All the guy wanted was another LaCroix.
all the dude ever wanted was his rug back.
We need to have another event like at Mayhem where the athletes are subjected to a night event like in the military .
At 37:00 Well done Castro :) get all the info first. I like a dude who waits for all the info before jumping in
Dave Castro: Kudos for keeping your family off you social media feeds!! Also who in their right mind would poke a bear when that bear is a Navy SEAL?
Love you Dave! Love to see Pat S. brought back!
Good job Dave.
Numerous awkward moments by Sevan. Sevan keeps trying to stir up controversy, cuts off Dave, and several times didn’t ask questions.

Less interrupting and it’s perfect 💪
Amazing!!!
PS I have been looking for an Unbuyable tshirt for years..Do tell where you got it!!
Dave practicin for that joe rogan episode
Actually this is the 14th year Mr Castro...
Glad to see Sevan back!

Sevan you are back in the CF community???
Outstanding
PUT IT ON THE LINE FOR RICH MEANS $$$, REPUTATION, BUSINESS, LIVLIHOOD, FAMILY
I like your tactics!!!
Dave should go do a Train with Rich weekend @sevan
"It wont be a runaway" until it was lol.
If the perfect athlete is 5’8-5’10, and an athlete is considered an outlier being 6’2+... why not have two divisions based off of height/weight, and those two winners then face off for the overall champion title?
Sevan, what pen are you using?
Thank you from all of us for your service Dave.
Rich may be one of the only people that know's Mat's day to day training considering he's been in cookville and training in that area for so long now.
rich, tia, Shane
Dave cant sit still. He is fidgeting like crazy!
What in the world is the first 3 min of this interview????????
Send this to Dan Bailey lol.!!!
Strongman overhead throw for distance. 8-12 pound round object.
And this is the guy that the PFAA wants rid of? What clowns.
Track and field/athletics. Those athletes so many so few advance to Olympic Games/World championships.
14th games ? ?
The best way to do a podcast is to sit on wall balls...
Is there a point where Sevan doesn't interupt Dave?
who does he keep interrupting Dave?
Kind of a sad jab at Jocko Willink. Maybe you should reach out to him for a lesson on respect and being a real leader.
"Crossfit" Or is it competitive fitness/exercise?
everyone at crossfit HQ does crossfit beside dave castro
This Jacob Logan guy. Lol.
Awkward start. Also, Dave needs Rich more than Rich needs Dave.
DAMNNNN LOVE HOW HE CALLED RICH OUT
WNBA plays so many fewer games. Attendance, etc.
🙋🏼♀️Ummm...it’s the 14th games. Anyone?
What do they drink..?
No kipping pull ups.
Studs
The Fans want to see Rich back and challenge Matt one more time!
If Greg Glassman’s tweet was “racist”, then what is Mat Fraser’s Event 7 (Awful Annie) video?
It's a guy working out to music. Cause I am thinking the musid what you are complaining about
Jeffery Wilson Swing and a miss. You’ll get it next time buddy.
I didn’t think Greg’s tweet was racist ...
And I’m curious as to what you are referring too Matthew
Fraser is 30 :)
he's tweeking
He is uneasy.
this is the worse podcast setup i've seen yet haha the audio is so bad lol

0:00-1:40 is pure cringe.
hmm i think they respect each other enough to not fake the interaction 🤔
I felt it was honest, I’m finnish though, so maybe we don’t feel cringe the same way 😄
