Josh Mat Sevan Episode 21 

Too bad this podcast lacks consistency. I enjoyed the once a week cast when it first started.

"The best athletes come from places where they have nowhere else to go." Josh dropping some wisdom! I think that's true for good people too. I think only good people can come out of some of the worst scenarios with a smile on their face and keep going. Each one of these guys has had some crazy things happen in their life. (Homelessness, Combat, Broken Spine) yet here they are enjoying life. I think once anyone makes that mindset change they have no choice but to become great. Great in the eyes of people on stages? That's possible, but I think great in general. Great parent, great business owner, great local chef, great bartender, great little league coach, who knows man! I strive every day to switch my mindset and work to make the right choices for my future, this podcast is just one of the ways I stay inspired.

Love when Josh said many sports don’t hurt as much as CrossFit. “We are so messed up on our heads” 🤣 sooo true!

“Whatever I had two fuckin watches.” LMFAO 😂😂😂😂

these boys actually havin a serious conversation

This is such a great pod! The vibe of this one is tooo freakin COOL!

Listening in Alaska. Appreciate you guys

Wow this one came so quick 😳. Best podcast guys! 👏

“I don’t want to be scared to go without.”🙌

Josh is probably one of the greatest CrossFit athletes to never win the games

Absolutely agree with Josh’s ‘athletes have nowhere else to go’ concept, and you guys nailed it on the physical circumstances side. I would take it further to the mental/mindset nowhere else to go as well. The top athletes in the world who may have grown up a little ‘easier’ than others, perhaps inside of them they always felt like an outsider in their other involvements (‘other than athletics’ in this case, but could be anything), and they in turn developed a ‘this over everything’ view and approach to their sport and craft. Of course nuance along the entire spectrum. As individual circumstances are so wildly unique, never to be fully understood by others and that applies to every single individual, and that’s the best thing about the sports field where in that moment the ‘rest’ doesn’t matter and you get to throw down with or against your peers. But you are absolutely correct Josh - in order to even have a place on the field you need to be the strongest mentally and mindset. But I just wanted to throw that out there in addition to your conversation because I think you guys really touched on it well. It is a key element that I see on full display from all 3 of you - as it does not apply only to sports at all. I really appreciate this content from you all and thank you for sharing. All the best

I hate that Josh's "Okay, kill him!" comment was too easily overlooked... and I spit out my coffee... Classic Dumb and Dumber.

I just Pressed like button before even watching it lol that's how much I love them!!!💚💗💖

Extremely great and insightful conversation.

This is the best one yet... 3 good dudes for sure!

Just the right blend for a podcast you guys are like a good coffee in the morning...good dudes

In my eyes and my mind even though you obviously weren't 1st on that podium Josh you will always be a champion and one of the Titans of the sport of CrossFit. Thank you brotha!

Awesome convo guys!

The CrossFit Games is the best marketing for the affiliates there is. Getting people off the couch that are watching it on TV that somewhere hold the delusion that if you go to your local gym and join, you can achieve a physique and high fitness level like the people you’re watching on TV. Funding the Games funds affiliates.

One of the best episodes 👌🏼

damn sevan really will die on his sword for hq

Best podcast out 🙌🏼

LOL, Josh you kill me! The watch episode by far the best!

Josh is such a funny guy. (Sorry a Good Dude!) Love these shows. 👍

You guys are awesome

I swear josh brings this pod cast to a new level. Like ile mat is cool cause what he has done but josh brings the knowledge in actual words to the average human on how you can be the best version of you

One person who constantly complains about losing workouts because of their height is Brent Fitkowski

I am constantly triggered by the email notification sounds in this episode. I keep checking my damn phone like an idiot. Love the podcast!

Josh is making gas station coffee seem amazing

Best freakin podcast/show ever!!!!

Josh's one liners are quality..😂

another one? already ?? dang, making up for lost time, having fun, yesss

Wait…”sounds like a nice guy.” Don’t you mean a good dude?

Watches are important to those that appreciate the craftmanship...SEVAN!! lol

Another legend leaves California

“Shut the fuck up you clowns!” 😂

John Wooley’s real job is as a VP at Bank of America. He’s open about this and mentions it in his podcasts all the time.

This is the best CrossFit based podcast on youtube. Why is there not more subscribers????

The games should have alot more money in it- how is that a moot point- besides not wanting to insult Dave Castro- who is horrible for the sport. Sevan is grossly disingenuous- Mats face said it all.

Man I’m itching for another ep

Dennis Leary did a bit about "coffee flavored coffee" and it's hilarious!

The way I understand it: The semifinal payouts were standardized by CF to equally pay the competitors given variance of location and available monies. Ie, Asia championship couldn’t afford to pay out the same as west coast and likewise didn’t bring in the same revenue thus the payout had to be capped across the board for equality (since athletes couldn’t choose where they were placed, per se). Dubai, rogue, Wodapalooza, etc (high payout comps) were intentionally left out of semis to provide those income opportunities during the offseason should athletes want to compete in them.

My money is on you JOSH.

Keep the workouts coming when you move house Josh on your pay the man channel 🙂👍

nice guy ... correction... 😂😂😂

fraser´s face when sevan mentions froning as the fittest man alive lmao

Josh will be able to hang out with Brian Shaw!

I'm a crossfit/ firefight i watch yall on a stair master on shift. Matt's right this thing can get tough especially with a air pack on

It’s a young sport. Baseball players didn’t always make millions. Football players just recently started making millions

Josh should do a 40min EMOM from Mat’s HWPO program. That will make him sweat! Lol

The metcon 7 are dope Mat

Everyone "looks good" hitting pads.

Savan is still sucking up to HQ. His desperation is pathetic. Even not knowing the facts, he is still arguing on their behalf.

“And that’s why I didn’t get the iPhone 12.” -Sevan(casually scrolling on his iPhone 11😆) oh and Castro wasn’t trying to be rude IMO. I think sevan just makes him nervous. By the end he was pretty relaxed and not so anxious.

Josh saying CrossFit hurts more than the Tour de France and football , haha yeah good one

when CF stepped back in 2019 and allowed the Sanctionals to happen prize money went WAY up....when CF stepped back in for Semifinals the prize money dropped like a rock. Coincidence? even Okeefe has said the prize money for WCC and GG was going to be way higher before CF stepped in and capped it

I wonder if Mat's need vs want applies to his firearm collection.

@sevan move your mic next time. So that we can see those pearly whites😂🇿🇦💪

Never thought I'd ever hear "arrears" in a CrossFit-based podcast, but here we are

No Mat.....footballs is fun lol. It’s a lot of fun hitting people, getting hit, running plays, etc...it’s a blast.

college wrestling, 7 times broken nose 5 broken fingers ripped rotator shredded ligaments dozens of times broken foot bones

Josh are you going to Colorado so that the golf ball flies further for you :)

Matt - if those 7's you're looking for ever start getting in the way at yours, I'd be happy to take them off your hands!! DM me LOLs

Watch guy checking in 😅

I think Mat would enjoy Rachel Cruze and Dave Ramsey RU-vid channel they are all about saving, being debt free, and investing.

one word wrt sport growth = golf

Need to tighten up this intro fellas. No need for Joshes panties being rung out after a sweat, Sevan singing and Mat dragging ass in late. Anyways, great pod over all…. Keep it up

Sevan why'd you cover your face with the mic? 😂

Has Josh & Mat thought about making coffee together or is that a path they don't want to cross?

When’s the next podcast out?

The real question is “why does Sevan have that huge mic covering his face now!” What happened!

Crossfit harder than the TDF? Really bro? 😂

Is Mat saying I should get Metcon6 instead of Metcon7?

ASK THE GUYS WHO IS THE TOP 5 or TOP 3 PICK FOR GAMES WINNER THIS YEAR BABY

Josh moving to CO? Can’t wait for Good Dudes coffee to be THC infused

Good dudes. Not nice guys. 👍🏻

Hey Sevan, can you ask Mat if it's true that he can do double unders holding the rope handles upside down??

Why not pay all the qualifiers for the Games… they’ve put in the hard work to get there

Sevan is slowly becoming my favorite on this podcast

Oooof this episode got heated. Surprised not to see other sport athletes defending the difficulty of their sport. I personally think there’s a difference between sport vs methodology and professional athlete vs recreational athlete. Not a lot of people wanna put themselves through hell only to win a small prize purse. You grow the sport by showing people there’s money in the sport. The kids that play basketball, baseball, soccer, etc. want to grow up to be those superstar millionaire athletes. While the will to be fittest is awesome, it doesn’t pay the bills. So yeah, separate the two. CrossFit as a sport and CrossFit as a methodology.

Was it ever said which bed cooling system Mat uses? More importantly, has Sevan purchased one since he's saving money from not buying the Iphone 12??

I feel like this show is like a bad ex girlfriend. I’m pulled back in only to get hurt again.

college wrestling used to be three period of three minutes, total nine minutes Much tougher than crossfit.

The programming will dictate the type of body that is ideal for the sport.

With permission, could you ask Matt why he's saying you shouldnt buy things you dont need because you didnt needed them when you didnt know they existed and he's there buying assault rifles and pistols for shit? Thank you

Seven knows fuck, all Watches really good watches are an investment there price only goes up.

I do think CrossFit is the ultimate sport of true athletic ability

Second.

Sevan says no to more money for Games athletes then acts concerned when HQ reduces the sanctional winnings.

Imagine the arrogance to think as an elite crossfit athlete you're working and training harder than any other elite athletes in any other sport.

Get rid of the Dave and put a good dude in!! Bet it grows

Sevan...can you ask these guys the question...are there powers that be at Crossfit HQ that have contempt for the Games competitors? They seem to often mistreat the top athletes. They underpay them...they've put them in harms way with overly dangerous events...i.e. Murph in the heat...and sometimes turn programming into more of an attempt to trick the athletes rather than test them. Just wonder if anyone else feels that way.

Think CrossFit will allow trans females to compete?

What is crossfit going to do when a "Trans" demands to compete as female?

Early 70"s, College heavyweight wrestler Weighed 235, 6'0" tall, 5.0 % body fat 52 inch chest, 37.5 in waist, 32 in inseam, thigh circumference 32 in I was the only heavyweight that my coach ever had that could do over 10 miles in an hour At the same time I was benching 4550 lbs NO cross-fit then

Sevan needs to shut up and let the guys speak sometimes. Stop trying to say something controversial, just to get a great sub clip and publicity out of it...

Hey Sevan, move the mike away from your face already

Am i the only one who finds it rude to be texting while on a podcast ?

Huge Matt fan, but the new metcons are UGLY! Looks like a 6yr old took a gold sharpie an squiggled all over em. Also the lightening bolt swoosh is really tacky. Metcon 6’s had the best silhouette
