  • Encore Episode | The Late John McAfee
    2021/08/04

    Interview with the late John McAfee, a British-American computer programmer, businessman, and two-time presidential candidate. In 1987, he wrote the first commercial anti-virus software that bears his name to this day.

    But McAfee was also a fugitive of the US for years.  In June, 2021, he was found dead in a jail cell in Spain soon after being scheduled for expedition to the US for charges of tax evasion.  Authorities ruled it a suicide.

    Prior to his death, McAfee stated that he was not suicidal, and that he was concerned he might be murdered and that his death would be made to appear a suicide.

    This was an episode that we thought had been lost to us.  We recorded this with him in January, 2020 but originally stalled in publishing this because of the incendiary nature of the topics and (truthfully) of the man himself.  Then, of course, COVID hit.

    We somehow lost the video of this interview, but recently stumbled again on the audio.  Since we were a show that did not shy away from hard conversations, we figured there was no better send-off for our show than this episode.  

    As we say in our intro, "We're here to set some shit on fire". Hit play and strike the match!

    Thanks for listening. Love you, mean it!

    Reilly & Michael

    Great chat with Jacob Fasig - a man who has had a tremendous positive impact on the health and motivation of many people, most particularly your beloved host, Michael.

    Jacob is the host of the Barbell Voodoo Podcast, co-owner of Crossfit Donelson in the Nashville area, and life coach to many others. Jacob's journey to become "Fit by 40" was a key inspiration in Michael walking in to CrossFit for the first time, and this interview has been a long time coming.

    We get into all sorts of topics including the "best" workout music (SPOLIER: Reilly's favorite is "Bad Romance" by Lady Gaga), how to stay motivated in your workouts and daily life, parenting, PORN, and much more.

    Thanks for listening!

    Great conversation with Athena Perez, someone we have been inspired by and following for quite some time. Athena is an L2 CrossFit coach, owner of Scaled Nation CrossFit, and author of "Lifting the Wait", a book that tells the story of how she lost over 200 lbs. in her journey to be where she is today.

    We discussed her fierce advocacy for plus-size inclusion in CrossFit and how the wrong assumptions about a severely overweight newcomer can leave a lasting negative impact. We also tackled the challenging topic of whether providing specialty plus-size clothing in our sport/gyms is a good or bad thing for promoting health and wellness.

    Definitely some challenging conversations here.

    We are honored to be joined this week by our friend and newest Fury coach, Joe Mike Paul. Joe is a Wisconsin transplant who moved to Arizona to pursue his passion for helping people with dialing in their nutrition and nurturing in them a life of fitness. But Joe’s path to where he is now was anything but average. Inspired by a horible family tragedy, Joe has learned how to fight through adversity and come out of the hardship better and stronger.

  • E63 | Bee Evans
    2020/12/21

    Buckle up for one of our most open and honest podcasts ever. We thought we were going to be talking to our guest, Bee Evans, about two of our favorite things: mindset and booty shorts, but this conversation ended up going so much deeper.

    Bee is the host of the Tear Out the Tags Podcast, a former Phoenix Suns dancer, and was a key player in her family's oil and gas business.

    Despite being someone who was as comfortable on the dance floor as she was in the oil industry, Bee still felt like she was battling a wide array of unwanted tags that were placed on her in all areas of life. So she decided to tear out the tags.

    Her insight on the tags we accept from others and those we place on ourselves is profound, and she challenged us in ways we never thought possible. We think you'll be challened too.

  • E62 | Sheena Shaw-Hammer
    2020/12/14

    The Legends Master's Competition took place just around the corner from us and we had the opportunity to meet and interview one of the top women's competitors, Sheena Shaw-Hammer. Sheena took 5th place in her division (Women 35-39) this past weekend.

    Sheena is a mother of 4, owner of Ben Lomond Crossfit in North Ogden, UT, and a former Crossfit Games athlete. We discussed how high-level gymnastics taught her how to be competitive from a young age and how CrossFit allowed her to continue being competitive once she wrapped up her college gymnastics career. Who knew that a gym drop-in could result in such an interesting conversation? We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

    Today we sit down and talk with Marvin Chargualaf, Fury member (and Spotlight Athlete for November 2020) about his fitness journey from Type 2 diabetes to taking control of his health through proper nutrition and CrossFit.

    We also discuss his native home of Guam, his experience in the military, and what it's like dealing with PTSD. We didn't, however, get the chance to chastise him for being a Seahawks fan. As a podcast who backs the Arizona Cardinals, we cannot condone this behavior. Other than that, Marvin is one of the best guys you could meet.
