It is TIME - Dave Castro LIVE

[@kathealy60]

I want to hug Dave. You could feel his emotion even without his saying a word. And yes, I miss the week in review!

[@DenseUpdates]

A comment section full of love for the legend. Great interview, great questions, great responses. Really enjoy the dynamic and authenticity from both Sevan and Dave as always. I am personally looking forward to the upcoming season. We have your back Dave 💪🏼

[@ScottTWade]

Thanks Sevan! Dave is a great inspiration, as are you! Long time listener from Australia!

[@SweatinSixty]

Glad to have TDC back and in good spirits.

[@MsAshley0207]

Dave is a real one! This was one of my favorites to listen to! Such a good conversation between you both. I love that you ask the hard questions and respect when Dave passes on answering, also respect that Dave keeps things private. You are a Good Dude Sevan and so glad to see Dave back! I know he continues to do so much that he will never take credit for behind the scenes but having him share every now and again is nice. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@brandiemahaffey8030]

I have so much love and respect for you Dave! Thank you for taking time to come on and speak on the hard things. You are the best Sevan, thank you for always keeping it real!

[@Itswellnessgirl]

Sevan, I don’t jump into comments that frequently but I wanted to on this one . Thanks for this podcast , it’s good to hear from Dave and well done for asking reasonable questions. Happy Christmas 🎉

[@calebrowsam1198]

Sooo good to see and hear Dave again!

[@MoeLester29]

Love him or hate him, as a man he is operating on his values according to what he thinks is right, not whats popular. I respect that!

[@MrWaffleWalrus]

Glad to hear from Dave, thanks for the interview and broadcast Sevan.

[@brandonfowler6013]

Sevan I appreciate that you ask the hard questions. Dave I appreciate that you say next question rather than just spilling your guts. Keep it up!

[@nickmallett7391]

Castro rocks.........I am an Australian Ultra-endurance athlete who has met many US military types at races in "The States", who have become lifelong friends. Many of those guys are/were part of the SF community and have shared stories of their lives while deployed. Words cannot describe how much respect I have for those men and Dave, to me, is just like them. Respect Dave...Much respect! Bring on the 2025 CF season!

[@renatanovotna1513]

So glad to see Dave back! Sorry to miss it live. Thank you!

[@LeighFraiser]

A friend from my gym, said you were extremely approachable. She said you treated volunteers as important as the athletes.

[@marshalliize]

Dave. Is. The. Best! He IS CROSSFIT!

[@archambault7]

It was so great to see TDC back on here again!

[@michellekiely9859]

So great to see and hear from Dave. Delighted to hear “week in review” will be coming back 🙌🏻 You can see this has really impacted him and he’s still on a journey through this. Big luv to you Dave, stay strong 🫶🏻 Ps. Love the affiliate commercial too Thanks Sevan for a great show ❤

[@12coffees]

great episode, I'm so happy to see and hear Dave again!! noticeable how hard all was for him too when he decided not to answer a few of Sevan's questions, but the one he answered about the media people that want him out.. perfect answer 👏

[@bryanevans7924]

Dave is the real definition of a man. He is the type of man that built this country. The world needs more like him.

[@stang93ful]

Was really nice to see and hear from Dave after a really tough year. I’m glad he’s doing okay. Was always a supporter and I’ll continue to be. Looking forward to see what’s next with the season. God bless! 👊🙏🏻✝️

[@mikebee6530]

I hope to grow into a man that Dave would be proud of. I respect him more than I can explain.

[@NickFreije]

Dave is a special man and a rare breed. We CrossFitters are incredibly lucky to have him in leadership. It takes special kinds of balls and humility to get on here and NOT defend himself / make his case. With so many loud people BLASTING him, it would be the natural response from nearly anybody on earth. His conviction and discipline is honorable and I want to be more like him, for real.

[@sportsbettingeducation]

Honestly he’s nothing special. Just a guy that genuinely doesn’t care what people think of him. If that’s impressive to you then you need to go live outside of a major city. That’s how everyone is lol.

[@katherineshafer8732]

Great to see Dave back !

[@AleZ66]

Thanks for coming on the broadcast. Nice to hear from you again. ❤ Good job from both of you.

[@jadeteasdale9198]

Also, I really appreciate your quiet professionalism. In a world full of all these loud celebrity/tacti-cool influencers.

[@summerw5773]

GOD I LOVE THIS MAN!!!!!❤❤❤

[@Sebo216]

Sevan. Please could you put your travelling aversion to one side and go with Dave to the affiliates and highlight how important he is to CrossFit and the community. The work he does the people and community he touches. It would be incredible

[@erikweisz]

Sevy showing TDC how to fire a gun had to be my favorite part.

[@stephendix8042]

Amazing interview...loved it...Thank you both. Merry Xmas x

[@hunterfrizzelle1946]

I think Dave has been treated unfairly and given that, he’s shown great emotional maturity.

[@jadeteasdale9198]

I love you TDC! I don’t hate you. 😎 Thanks for all you do. In service to this country first & foremost, 2nd to CF & the community!

[@jonathanrufenacht4714]

Dave Castro is my spirit animal. Thanks Dave for all that you do for CrossFit.

Thanks in advance for bringing back WIR. Cheers from Finland.

[@jennyvaccaro7097]

Great episode, thank you!

[@butterybubbles5423]

Love when Dave is on. I also have that abdomen pain when I do a high number of t2b it's like a nasty cramp that takes you out idk what to do about it

[@jadeteasdale9198]

Agree about podcasts. To easy for ppl to take out of context, twist words, hear only what they want, etc… Never the same as face to face conversations & real-relationships

[@michaelcegelski8314]

I really appreciate the dynamic between Sevan and Dave. Sevan asks Dave some hard hitting questions, Dave respectfully declines to answer. A good sign of mutual respect.

[@abstractgeniuscomments]

Yup, and as listners, costumers and cult members we stand there, with no real answers left.

[@BestMarine1775]

Great interview. Gives me more faith in the future growth of CrossFit.

[@jasoncatarino6110]

Dave Castro is my man crush. So much respect. Never met him, but I love that man. The wokarazzi could learn a thing or two, or ten, about integrity from him

[@marianarroyo6942]

So much respect for him

[@anabelpump]

[@meirionwilliams8036]

This was a good show.

[@wthibeau]

I cannot believe Vellner and Fikowski think they can hold Dave accountable. Think of the life Dave has led. He’s been the most elite operator in the world, while the hardest part of the Canadian gays’ life has been chiro school and beach volleyball.

[@djwinston06]

I was actually saying the same thing to my husband. Here are these guys who’ve never gotten their hands dirty complaining about a man who served in life and death situations and is too mean. Like he’s the problem.

[@abstractgeniuscomments]

How do we know what Castro did and did not do? Oh, yeah, it's secret. We had a famous author here in Denmark, Sven Hazel, got rich from his WW2-tales, where he fought for the nazis, mostly on the eastern front. Some 25 years into this, it turns out he was a clerk in Berlin, never saw combat. Now, let me see evidence of Castro's true merrits and I'll shut up, no problem. Yet, the way he handled Event 1 at CFG24, I would not feel safe having him leading my outfit/crew/team/company, no matter how much of a Rambo he would turn out to be.

[@wthibeau]

@ you would never make this comment without an avatar.

[@MyAlaska12]

[@YonClark]

Amazing conversation, at times Dave said a lot without saying anything at all.

[@thomastaylor7163]

❤ Love Dave ❤

[@michellebowman8734]

I am retired 20 years military. In reference to Dave not being approachable, I was always told by Soldiers and peers I seemed so unapproachable when they meet me. I had that “resting bitch face”. I think that is very common in A type military people. As Dave said those who know/knew him, know thats just him and likely a productive of his life experiences.

[@lifeaccelerator]

Dave is a private person but he also really has to watch what he says until all the legal proceedings surrounding Lazar are over and resolved since anything he says could be used against him and CrossFit. If he even hints of feeling any responsibility for what happened, it could be used in a legal proceeding. So, you can see his emotions rolling off him even through that toughness and necessity to not speak about this. Glad to see Dave back in the public.

So funny to run through the comments. Lots of parises from the freedom fighting, anti government, Trump voters, who would just like to have a strong leader to do all the thinking for them. That's rooting for facism on a small scale, just for your information.

[@frankfoe]

The important question is when Don said that CrossFit HQ was going to “take significant money out of the Games” did this include the safety budget. It seems to me that for a brand new venue in TX in August the safety budget should have increased. The rumor I heard was that they slashed the safety budget by 1/3. If they cut the safety budget by 1/3 from previous years, they knowingly and intentionally FOR PROFITS made the Games unsafe or at a minimum less safe. I also heard that the presence of safety personal on the water was noticeably lower than in years prior. As if this isn’t damning enough, the athletes organized into the PFAA because their safety concerns were being ignored. Despite injuries and safety concerns, there was seemingly no safety standards or best practices. The PFAA was pushing for this and somehow this was too much for CrossFit to agree to. With regards to Dave Castro as head of the Games, if he was aware of the cuts to the safety budget and did not at least push back, then he is complicit. If he remains complicit after Lazar’s death, then as the head of the CrossFit Games, people will call for him to be removed.

[@frankfoe]

Who is concerned with retribution? They just have safety and communication concerns and HQ / Dave have a history as I understand it of not taking these concerns seriously. Seems like Dave would not have been able to answer questions about this anyway.

[@frankfoe]

Seriously? You don’t know why athletes who have dedicated their lives to competing in the competition to find the fittest athlete in the world maybe upset with Dave still be involved and conflicted about participating? Sounds like Dave is telling athletes to boycott the Games. Wonder if according to Chase Ingram this makes Dave a piece of shit. Sounds like Dave doesn’t have an issue with how Private Equity is destroying the company or he would not associate with it and take it all the way to the goal line.
