CrossFit Podcast Ep. 17.07: Mat Fraser

[@gerrygallagher]

Very few people can hold my attention for90mins but i loved that,he comes across as a really nice guy&not up his own arse,great interview.

[@n8d0gg04]

Mat is a straightforward and honest guy. I appreciate that about him and makes me respect him even more.

[@benmartin3180]

The people of this sport and community are such unique people! I love it!

[@DiannePer]

He seemed a little hesitant at fist but really opened up later. By the end of it they seemed like buddies. Awesome interview!!

[@marchans5676]

Sevan, THANK YOU for pointing out that there is a massive TYPE 2 Diabetes epidemic at 56:17. I have been a TYPE 1 for 29 years and often see folks lump type 1 and type 2 together. It is refreshing and inspiring to see the brands and community I support be so informed about my disease. Thanks to you and the team at Crossfit HQ for not only fighting the good fight against Big Soda etc...but for doing so in such a well informed way. Best, Marc

[@Grandi74]

This interview is the reason I think Mat Fraser is awesome. Just a real down to earth regular guy. Such a great interview.

[@ylanagracielli]

Loved the interview and the show as a whole. Can't wait to see some girls taking the stand!

[@kenstyle6]

A champion mindset, a champion mentality and a champion in the physical realm at only 27. Awesome

[@MrMrTovey]

Such a great interview! Well done

[@Nuittess]

Great interview! I am really impressed with Mat's commitment and focus along with obvious introversion :D Good job man, keep working hard, keep winning and keep accidentally inspiring people all over the world. Greetings from Poland!

[@clintwalker7095]

Great Interview! Obviously Mat competing is a different person. He seemed very relaxed and enjoyed it. really liked this one and got to see different side of Mat.

[@maro8D]

I just love Mat for his charm. He deals with these akward questions like a champ! That guy in glasses is just looking for a scandal... That's so painful to watch. Let Joe Rogan interview Mat! He can actually connect with his guests and treat them like human beings and not like punching bags.

[@chadhamel8707]

So...did ya like the Joe Rogan podcast?

[@maro8D]

@@chadhamel8707 Sure did :) It was much better than this one.

[@IvanHadlich]

5 yrs later and I still bored the this dude wearing a f vest lol

[@darioettore100]

Finally someone interviewed Mat. Engaging and interesting. Thank you.

[@cunit313]

Great interview; more insight into Mat than anything I’ve read, heard or seen on him!

[@lpnedwards]

Such a cool guy. Loved the interview!

[@CorbinBowman02]

Anyone watching these 5 yrs later😂

[@roses81731]

Love Fraser! Don't need to see him interviews. But I am totally addicted to watching him work and compete. So focused and intense.

[@PatCFLabat]

Please get Vellner and Fikowski!!!!!!

"Don't ask me about rich" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 23:30

[@deeshmond]

Onésime Basubi Who cares. He’s the interviewer-let him ask you whatever he wants

[@chris51282]

That jab at Panchik 😂

[@johnray4654]

This is great! I work offshore and you explained how it is to a T!

[@knichri11]

How cany anyone dislike this!?

[@jasondavis8551]

Holy shit - fantastic interview.

[@bakoUnbroken]

Man I love those podcasts !!

[@GodisGood794]

Love this guy

[@6sleeping6riot6]

I miss these podcasts

[@davesanatore4688]

Great interview !

[@Paragota]

Sevan is the most weird/awkward interviewer. Mat is a good sport

[@vanwool94]

Paragota Made me cringe so many times. Like he just doesn’t have social awareness.

[@chadhamel8707]

This comment had aged well

[@DrMattMurphy]

Didn’t age well my friend

[@DrMattMurphy]

Didn’t age well my friend

[@Cozmofide]

1:21:48 matt feeling some type of way about noah winning the hammer event

[@jeremyneilsen1263]

mat* :P

[@marvistadutch]

Kara's score on the OHSs in 2223 got adjusted for missed reps. They could have adjusted the score of the pullers.

[@Sam0M0L]

Because on the hammer event he as well as other people weren't just hammering the badger but pulling it sort of

[@leroy-nn6tm]

Noah's gloating was especially cringey given the circumstance

[@mixanikos2]

i dont think so...;) he is cool

[@PO53286G]

Sevan makes these interviews. Outstanding work

[@SuperTabaka]

Great content!

[@jamescooper158]

Great interview

[@deanamiller9298]

Great work Sevan, another great podcast!

[@jurajturansky413]

I hope there will be "before games series " with mat again

[@paul45451]

How ironic the Ricky Gerard comment 😂😂 we now why he got a 30 pr aha

[@ChucksterGram]

Stevan podcasts are missed.......

[@facelen4321]

I miss this podcast

[@thetruth1387]

Mat Fraser is great! So glad he is a good sport despite Sevan's needling. Sevan is smug AF, and ruin every single one of these interviews with his self serving BS.

[@codyall4089]

Your name rings true to your comment thetruth1387!!! haha well said.

[@Zimny913]

Savann is the best. He makes best videos and best interviews. " Gandalf of Crossfit "

[@MageBlackstone]

I think Julie does it better.

[@kevintorres5040]

More like the Howard Stern meets Larry King.

[@sofiapacheco3773]

Sevan*

[@docmarcano4456]

As today, this is his best interview… We need part II. And it needs to be with Sevan! 💪🏾 He can ask any question and get away with it. After all, the CF community knows his story, and even though he is doing a few interviews in today’s date, they get boring because the interviewer is not really familiar with Mat nor CF, so they keep the interview very superficial, and that’s why he just keep saying the same stuff. Unless he gets an interview with Tom Bilyeu, which can flow to other interesting view points of Mat.

[@tylertheune637]

Why is Sevan doing 95% of the interview but Tyson is on camera the entire time with Mat? I'm not quite sure I understand why Tyson is present if he isn't going to be more involved. Good interview all in all

[@danielbowers457]

This made up for the Dan Bailey interview

[@lawnman77]

Mat and Rich Froning - Both now with a monks haircut, what have you been taking fellas?

[@adamdykman8884]

Do people in crossfit hate Noah? I don't get it

[@sofiapacheco3773]

Adam Dykman its not that everyone hates him, its just always a lot of drama around him, cause he is kinda cocky, but at the end of the day he's still a good dude.

[@oliverlarcombe6576]

Adam Dykman i personally dont but a lot of people do because apparantly he made some comments after the 2014 games which people didnt agree with

[@adamdykman8884]

Sofia Pacheco I’ve never got a bad vibe off him, he seems like he is just a good dude that really cares about making people happy. There’s a 6 part series with him that might change your mind.

[@jacklynnbowling2608]

I think that he is a good man, but I see where the people who don't like him are coming from. When Froning won his 4th Games in a row in 2014, Noah went to congratulate Rich and Rich told him something in his ear. You can't really make out what Rich is saying, but Noah says, "yes sir" to Rich. In an interview later, Noah said that Rich told him, "it's yours now" or something like that, or that's what Noah thought Rich said. He got backlash from Hillary (Rich's wife) for this comment, but has since apologized to both Rich and Hillary.

[@danielconstable1573]

Sevan's a good dude.

[@edarmitage9631]

1:25:07 - castro does what he wants

[@lawnman77]

Sevan is fucking awesome! He's an interesting cat.

[@vernonscripps]

This interviewer guy is like the Eddie Jordan of crossfit :P

[@vernonscripps]

vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/f1wikia/images/2/24/Eddie_Jordan.jpg

[@bweb6]

I didn't like the hammer event. As Matt said, you could hook it and drag it along, and i saw a few competitors doing that.

[@carinekissful]

why not a competition for charity ? Frazer against Froning that would be awesome to see

[@jessebaz100]

the versa climber is no joke...just as gnarly as an assault bike

[@Yeet20001]

Also that guy who ask all the questions. He should stick behind a camera. Made all the questions super weird.

[@wlfgrl05]

Luis Bonilla that's what I'm saying dude was creepy

[@codyall4089]

I can't believe some of Sevans questions. Such an inconsiderate and obnoxious interviewer. "Do you like foreplay?" Or how much money this how much money that or how much you pay for this. Pick someone who has an actual interest or an ability to interview, some actual preparation would help. Loved the way mat handled all of it though. Such an awesome dude.

[@codyall4089]

"You're 27 years old, not even at the peak of your career. And I have to imagine that not only with other opportunities like with nike but other opportunities too in terms of relationships and women. Whatever. Adventure. and you have like a serious commitment you guys go everywhere together right? Is that a um. Do you ever feel like you're missing out?" What a doucheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Sevan How does this guy have this job? 51 minutes in

[@justinthomas4598]

His 7.3 is fucking mint

[@deadtothewxrld]

Plaid shirt guy seems cool but podcasts aren't exactly his strength

[@chrispeters9654]

He didn't even get much of a chance to talk. He seemed genuinely more easy going with conversation with mat than the guy in classes, he caused a lot of cringe moments and its obvious Mat was uncomfortable

[@conserve_climber]

Alaska is a bit out of the way but "it's super nice"! HA

[@RyanzFindz]

Matt you forgot South Dakota lol

[@cambolten8787]

I guarantee Rich Froning SHIT his pants when Matt Fraser asked that question😂😂😂

[@Dan-ff9dm]

Cam Bolten what was the question? I just started the video

[@breakaway91]

which question?

[@HighVoltageCarnage]

Just the entire Interview is set up so weird!

[@hugobernal5016]

Did Mat just ask not to talk about the flag? Because it was in a past episode so we know Sevan thought about it.

[@superchile0083]

1 minute ad...oh well, pretty good content, although don't really like the interviewer.

[@xwilli5341]

First time watching, it felt a little awkward , but ok interview 👌🏾

[@0910Pedro]

nice

[@cfayeeezac]

We want Ricky Garard content. Y'all always ignore the 3rd fittest.

[@cm2485]

because he's a dirty cheat and his career is over...

[@DawsonLongroyd]

Awkward...

[@bigbendstrength]

They probably knew and weren't allowed to talk about it at this point

[@quintonmcqueen1382]

Hahahahahahahahahahhahahahaha

[@Yeet20001]

The second guy literally just sat there. Lol

[@sethr1758]

That is totally how I am about friends.

[@aeissfeldt]

Dudes a Teflon Don

[@lisalong9140]

Mat's so busy actually working at something, actually DOING stuff, that image isn't on his radar. A lot of people seem uncomfortable with his directness, transparency, potent simplicity. Actions speak louder than words - that's Mat to me. I'm impressed.

[@brookehammett2420]

Sevan could not be creepier if he tried.

[@benjaminfranklin4149]

Sevan is the most creepy, smarmy, smug podcast host I've ever encountered.

[@cambolten8787]

What are the odds though for real?

[@jonathanharp3616]

When I see that pickup my KKK radar gets a lil jumpy lol jk

[@_Jo-El]

The interviewer is so annoying. Someone teach that dude how to not take 2 minutes to finish a sentence. Props to Mat!

[@bz1001]

calling yourself the fittest person alive because you win crossfit is absurd

[@BradyPuryear]

What a horrible interviewer. Asking Mat about how much he makes from sponsors? How tacky can this dude be. So many uncomfortable inappropriate questions.

[@dylantodd9574]

then turn it off, there's a human element to these interviews that work well for most people who watch.

[@BradyPuryear]

Dylan Todd I'm not talking to you dude. This is my opinion so how about you don't worry about it and mind your own life since this is the internet and I have no clue who you are. Sevan doesn't need you to defend him.

[@dylantodd9574]

Ha!!! that's really funny, thanks i needed a good laugh this morning. just so i get this straight- you are posting a public comment on a posted video with your opinion, and you're taking issue that someone else had an opinion on what you wrote... That's what you're saying right?? "mind your own life since this is the internet..." you meant that as a joke right?? Again, thanks for the laugh it's a good way to start the morning.

[@codyall4089]

Exactly what I was thinking Brady, "Do you like foreplay?" "Since you're the champion and you're in a serious relationship with sammy do you feel like you're missing out with women and adventure?" Dylan Todd's "human element" is being a douche and inconsiderate to the interviewee and it speaks well to Dylan, so hence it speaks well to "most people who watch". Cause "most people" are like Dylan. Silly Brady. hahahahahahah

[@zainanderson2583]

The interviewer comes off as insecure and awkward. He's seems nice enough, but it would be nice for someone with a different energy to do the interviewing.

[@vanwool94]

Sevan is super awkward and kind of annoying. He asks weird questions and says a lot of passive aggressive things.

[@rottentomatoessupremecourt7046]

Dude with the hat was playing with that thing on his finger the entire time

[@jimcarr611]

Can't believe this guy is skipping the Invitational again. I know he doesn't owe us anything, but looks like he would want to give a little bit back to the fans

[@cambolten8787]

But seriously though...HOW FUCKING LUCKY IS RICH FRONING?

[@natashamohan1671]

Second

[@Yeet20001]

Glad mat went with Nike. Fuck rebook

[@samweller4593]

These guys fawning over Mat. It's unbearable.

[@obunga1496]

First💪🏼
