RICH & DAVE Address The Drama // The Rich Froning Podcast 028

[@DrMattMurphy]

Dave was most comfortable I’ve ever seen him in this pod. Good job Rory and Rich. Was very cool to listen to this. Thanks for showing up!

[@CFProjectMayhem]

Thankful he agreed to sit down and talk with us!

[@tsueiam757]

Is Rich’s gym open to the public daily?

[@tinaosborne5467]

@@tsueiam757yes! I visited on July 4th last year. It was open gym and I joined a group that was doing their own thing. Great people! I saw Rich’s mom there cleaning. So cool.

[@richfroningsr4387]

Absolutely Loved this conversation! So glad y’all had this opportunity to linkup/ resolve! Ha I’m glad I poked the Bear! I Love You Dave! Ha

[@CFProjectMayhem]

You’ve done good work here

[@corytreharn62]

I shared the "Heart of Mayhem part 2" video with my wife and she's going to give Mayhem online programming a try. Keep sharing that incredible storytelling!

[@CFProjectMayhem]

Thanks for sharing!! Hope she loves it!

[@HRM1994]

Fantastic. So great to see these 3 together and getting along. Growing the sport baby.

[@CFProjectMayhem]

💪

[@GraveyFit]

This is the best conversation I've seen about what's going on in CrossFit. So amazing to get past the noise and click bait and yelling. Such an honest take. I hope people pay attention to this interview as a way to have a meaningful dialogue and have a positive impact.

[@CFProjectMayhem]

Love it! glad you enjoyed

[@kevinsarkela7793]

I loved the way that ended. It was cool to see Dave acknowledge Scott and bury the hatchet. More people need to do that these days. Good group of dudes in that room, well done.

[@CFProjectMayhem]

Thanks for watching!

As a regular athlete the open has been so great enjoyed every week!

[@CFProjectMayhem]

Us too!

[@laurabenigno5720]

24.2 was fun to do with some of my non-CrossFit friends, and now they are interested in CrossFit

[@MikFit]

What a great podcast. The chemistry is spot on. Good to see them together after so long

[@kariweems5164]

Great discussion! When you want to know the truth you go to the source otherwise you can stay in your ASSumptions. Doing the latter ruins relationships. Good job guys! Rich you are the elite of the elite but you still have the best perspective of the Crossfit community as a whole. Thank you for seeing the bigger picture and caring about the adverage Crossfitter!

[@CFProjectMayhem]

Thanks for watching and dropping a comment!

[@scottbraunsdorf2852]

Great episode. Little nostalgia from past seasons and the OG feel.

[@CFProjectMayhem]

love it!

[@alexyadron]

Favorite podcast so far!

[@CFProjectMayhem]

Love to hear it

[@laurabenigno5720]

As a community member, I love this Open, especially 24.2. The Games is for the Elite, the Open is for everyone. The Elite still shine bright in the Open. We get to do the same workout as them though, and their scores amaze us because we’ve been through it too.

[@CFProjectMayhem]

This is a great take on the whole thing!

[@klue42]

I think the games athletes connection to media and the community is super important and CF would benefit from building a team to develop this. Would be great to have more content and touch points like, "Road to the Games" and the "Invitational" and building strategies to connect athletes to the L1 seminars and affiliates.

[@CFProjectMayhem]

Thanks for watching and commenting. We love an open discussion about these topics

[@FredStorer]

Awesome podcast. Should do this every now and then.

[@CFProjectMayhem]

For sure!

[@nickyvdm]

Guys can you please do this kind of podcast once every few months maybe? I mean I’d love once a month but I know scheduling is a thing but I honestly loved listening to you both and the back and forth

[@Therealkevin87]

Phenomenal content ALL of you did a fantastic job!

[@CFProjectMayhem]

💪

[@LeighFraiser]

This is great! Really enjoyed you all sharing this with us! Hilarious! Still laughing. 😂Hope to meet you all in person some day.

[@CFProjectMayhem]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@hunterfrizzelle1946]

That was a great pod cast. I knew the beef was BS. Glad you guys came together and did it.

[@jonathanortega5857]

Great work Scott!

[@CFProjectMayhem]

Thanks!

[@leshlycook5068]

Loved this conversation! Respect to both sides…

[@12coffees]

Great episode! loved seeing Dave so comfortable with you guys! 😀👏

[@CFProjectMayhem]

Glad you liked it!

[@susanpozanc9944]

Now this is what I remember Crossfit being all about. Doesn't matter how good you are at Crossfit but how it can change your health and life. All sports will have their greats. Social media is twofold. It can bring people together positively and negatively. It is what each individual wants to take away with to their hearts and believe in. Y'all are awesome!!🤗

[@mreposa31]

Great podcast, definitely have Dave on more often

[@CFProjectMayhem]

We’d love to

[@WalletMonkeys]

The bigger point is people should be able to meet up and hash sht out, especially friends

[@summerw5773]

Love love love every single Man in this podcast❤❤❤! Why don't you all just do an open workout again?A special one and epic special one between Froning! and Frasier!!?

[@CFProjectMayhem]

👀👀 for the views

[@dav3o]

Could this open and this podcast really be the pivot point for CrossFit? Hope that we see it pick back up to 2018 era and evolve to what CrossFit is meant to be!

[@CFProjectMayhem]

💪

[@josefrancoach]

Great conversation!

[@muskokadesignhouse6575]

Community pieces are so worth sharing!! Our affiliate 902 Athletics in Nova Scotia has shared a few and they are meaningful and inspiring. All part of why I LOVE Crossfit!!!!

[@CFProjectMayhem]

Thanks for sharing!

[@ethanwmotley]

I've seen several different strategies work for 10+ rounds scores on 24.2. It's a pretty unique workout when you really break it down in terms of where individuals can be successful and/or where you could fall apart if you're not careful. Im with you Rich that it is a lot of hinging and jumping in back to back weeks, but the movements are different enough and the intensity of each movement and time domain makes the workout so different that I'm not sure that it matters that much. Now that we know the final workout too it helps seeing the whole picture

[@CFProjectMayhem]

Now that we can see the whole picture, do you think less people would criticize the programming if weeks 2 & 3 were reversed? Maybe we'll discuss on the podcast next week

[@monbri9931]

Rich Rory and Dave awesome podcast. Loved it.

[@CFProjectMayhem]

Awesome!

[@petrilabuschagne]

Nice one guys. Very entertaining. Watched it before doing 24.3. Rich, of you ever want to come and hunt with me in South Africa, let me know. I think you will love it!!

[@CFProjectMayhem]

Sounds awesome!

[@LeighFraiser]

…the community pieces drew me in & CF has done more for me than any. Not to compete, but for life!

[@CFProjectMayhem]

Awesome!

[@DenseUpdates]

Great podcast. When it comes to the Sport of Fitness, the competition phases themselves there still has to be space for conversation and criticism of the process. To say athletes or people who pay to compete year after year should be silent because you don’t like what they have to say or you think it takes away from bringing people into the community isn’t the solution. There’s zero accountability in that. Our community has strengthened over the past decade despite these Open issues. Maybe the solution is the Sport of Fitness needs to separate from CrossFit . I don’t know, but I do know that the people in the affiliates are who is bringing people in the community and keeping the community alive.

[@marcocalderon26]

Great job all around 💪🏽

[@CFProjectMayhem]

Thank you 🙌

[@strongbodystrongmiind]

Dave is a very intelligent guy. Gotta love him

[@strongbodystrongmiind]

oh.. quick google search.. i see now

[@interestinggiraffe7984]

Great episode

[@carlosochoa3100]

Great pod !

[@brianhaberny5374]

Hey Dave would the games ever go back to Carson? And or do an event at the ranch?

[@Craig-pk5cc]

Great podcast guy’s awesome interactions with Rich & Dave also Scot 😂 Scot if Dave invites you to the ranch to meet Doug don’t run 😂

[@CFProjectMayhem]

Thanks for the advice 😅

[@micheletx17]

Love you guys ❤

[@erica9563]

As an average athlete, I really enjoyed and was able to do all the workouts this year

[@alannorman4097]

I love the content around the CF community. From the outside it can seem like a cult so to find out that it is ordinary people that are doing it gets people through the door. The first time you go is the hardest time.

[@CFProjectMayhem]

Love it!

[@DarylUrbanski]

I stopped doing the open when it dropped down to 3 workouts. Needs to be at least 4. 5 was perfect. Didn't need to be fixed. But now it doesn't feel like a real test. imho.

[@enriquealedius]

Hey what camera do you guys use for the podcast?

[@CFProjectMayhem]

Typically in our studio we use Blackmagic URSA 4.6k G2's, but on this mobile setup we had Sony A7siii's

[@enriquealedius]

@@CFProjectMayhem Felt like this was the Sony - everytime I see incredible quality on ppl's videos its the Sony lol Appreciate it, thanks!

[@albertfischer8804]

Very cool!

[@CFProjectMayhem]

💪

[@SayNoToGravity]

Can you guys hear each other in those headsets?

[@CFProjectMayhem]

Yes

[@marcomartinez9064]

Dave should know that the worst thing for crossfit is the people that dies for crossfit.

[@Gcarlson0728]

If you need to get rid of coyotes, I’m your man!!

[@Ryanl1333]

Can’t convince me that this isn’t a hunting podcast lollllll

[@CFProjectMayhem]

We won't try to 😅

[@Unknownunknowable]

Great discussion, CrossFit has more synergy nowadays and has the good, the bad - community and elites - the games and the health aspect. Everything that happened was necessary for where it is now. CrossFit isn’t no longer “CrossFit HQ” - it’s now accessible on so many other platforms and become a broader community.

[@CFProjectMayhem]

Thanks for watching!

[@bmclaughlan]

Love the hunting talk!

[@CFProjectMayhem]

Awesome!

[@DavidGutierrez-de5tm]

That was mature shidd. I love it.

Can we have a Ro v. Boz after an Open announcement again? That was fun

[@rorymckernan7851]

He's not ready for this.

[@sandycurrie1780]

I hope someone sees this. The trope that Crossfit gets people hurt is sorta true. I went to an xfit gym. I was really unfit with multiple old injuries and illnesses. I was very clear with all of them on this. What you have for trainers are people who really havent been in those shoes. They really don't know if I am able to do something I ask them if I should. They say yes. It is not their fault. I ended up with hypoxia a number of times and then I lowered my own intensity and reps and scaled lower on my own. The people in the gym were wo derful. The instructors were also wonderful people. They just haven't really understood something they Think they understand. Maybe headquarters should teach something about getting us like the lady in the Mayhem spotlight person.

Only thing missing was the part B, heavy lift. This Open wasn't inclusive to strength athletes--only fire breathers, with gymnastics skills.

Squirrel is a lot like chicken. Great starter animal for kids to hunt.

[@mitchs1724]

Dave sure likes to say Hillers name which is interesting since he doesn’t watch his stuff

[@leilarashid2413]

What about the piece on Phil that has 101k + views When you saying community views don’t get views. Stop altering the narrative to what suits your story

[@CFProjectMayhem]

We’re super happy with that video! Obviously, since we made it 😅 confused what your point is?

[@leilarashid2413]

You were saying community vids don’t get views and that we just wanna see ppl with their shirts off lol but the community posts do get views , Phil did!! but the latest one was kinda low and that’s the example they chose to talk about

[@LANCECASTLE490]

Your ads are insufferable

[@rorymckernan7851]

nuh uh, yours are.

[@natewoodford]

fraser can put a program together, sure, but actually coaching the substance.. nope.

[@davidmcwade5421]

You guys must come hunt in Zimbabwe. Can hook you up... probably the best african hunting experiences.

[@J.K.Lantz967]

I blame Ben Bergeron. He was the first to realize that he could monetize the sport of CrossFit by means of athlete training.

[@legacycommunications]

Any one notice how froning ALWAYS cuts people off when they are talking .kind of freaking annoying

[@richfroning5156]

Sorry just trying to have some fun, you could not listen if it’s that “freaking annoying”.

[@andrewsaysyes]

Rich is the alpha. He can.

[@locgem]

Why feign confusion about the pronunciation of PRVN?? Should have cut that out and went directly to the professional broadcaster announcing the location and intent of the podcast. Petty behavior from a grown man.

[@CFProjectMayhem]

It’s very clearly a joke. Huge thanks to the PRVN team for letting us use their facility

[@austinpigg6494]

People like you are exhausting.

[@laurabenigno5720]

We all make fun of PRVN sounding like pervin too. However, Proven is a great name for Tia and Shane’s company.
