Who in the fitness world would we like to meet? | One good question

0:08 It's Friday. It's a Friday episode. We're recording this episode on Friday, the day that's going to be released, because that's what our schedule has been like lately. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to one good question. If you want to get involved, go to a good company discord dot com. That is our community where you get exclusives, early looks at all our clothes and a like minded community. And we also gather and garnish questions from y'all. And we're tapping a discord now and Jim has some questions. Okay, here's my question. This is from Keith Honeycutt, who asks a lot of questions and sometimes even gets answers. The question is who in the industry have we not met that we would like to meet? There are for those that don't know, Jim and I have been you know from some newer listeners New Wish.

0:55 We've been doing our own podcast for five years now. We've been podcasting together there in some form for almost a decade, and a lot of our early episodes here and older episodes together were always interview based or group based, so we've rubbed elbows with many, many many folks in the industry. There is a newer generation that I've seen on the online, and not that I'm gonna go, you know that I'm excited to me, but it would be cool to rub elbows with some of these people. And I made good friends with some of them, a lot of you know, JPG Coaching is a really good dude and a close friend of mine. Now I'm sure there's many of them that would annoy the fuck out, I mean, and I don't want to be friends with, but there's probably some cool people just because there is a whole new generation. The easy answer for me, or like the what's it called low hanging fruit answer, Harvey Schwarzenegger, right, just because like he is the guy, he made the fitness industry in so many ways, and I don't think I've ever sat down with the guy. So I'm not excited to meet anyone, if you want the honest truth, I just don't care enough. I want to meet people that are genuine. I want to meet people that I learned from. I want to meet people that do what I do, but within fitness. Just because that guy has had such an impact on so many areas of business and fitness, I'm sure I could learn something from him, and his accident would probably funny at the very least.

2:15 You know, he's gonna say something corny because he pretty much always does every movie every you know. Yeah, and catching a workout with them or something would be cool. I mean, that's kind of like how I got to know a lot of people's we'd podcast and we would eat and it would catch a workout and you just kind of pick each other's brains. I mean, that's how my friendships formed with guys like Omar and bar Kawan and JP even. So stuff like that would be really cool. But there's no one that like sticks out in my brain. But my thing is that, like, of the people who are sort of established or established in the industry who I think are genuine, I think we've met all of them so far, unless they were, like you say, people who are coming up, Yeah, because there is a whole new gen. Yeah, there's some people that I know pretty well that I wish I just hung out with more because they're not around correct, you know, like Max Tuning's a homie, Christian Guzman.

3:08 I've known those guys for also like eighty I've never met either one of those guys, so they're really cool, and you know, we're just busy, and they live thousands of miles away, so like, yeah, it would be cool to like rub elbows with them more on the daily, or even Russ Russ's you know, Russell Or He's had tons of success and I've known him since he started the game, so you know, to be able to hang out with them more, sure, that would be cool if we all lived in the same city. That's one reason me and Bart obviously just kept our friendship easier because we're a forty five minute flight versus a three hour flight or whatever. But yeah, I'm kind of same as you. I think we've met a lot of cool people, we've met a lot of shitters, and there's probably a variation of both. I do think the industry has gotten younger, which is interesting, Yeah, because I felt significantly Yeah, because I felt so young when I got into it. And I got into it, I mean, I started my gym when I was twenty. But you know, online industry, your big business industry, supplements, et cetera, got into it with you when I was twenty two, twenty three, twenty four, um. But now the average age is probably twenty three twenty four five. Yeah, thanks to TikTok and and media being such an easy outlet for marketing and business. Um. I guess some of the new ones lean beef Patty pat Patricia was really really cool. We hung with her a little bit at the Arnold. Um. Yeah, I mean there's some there's some great people in the newer generation. Um, but the masses, you know, there's so many. I'm there's bound to be shitters um our our friend from from Halifax that we had on the show, Um, oh,

4:40 Evan Evan. Yeah, Evan's school very cool. Um. Yeah, he's that young gen. If everybody was like that, I would want to meet more of them. Yeah, it's just unlikely. Yeah, it seems unlikely because the percentage is not not great. Yeah yeah, I agree, not great. And you can just tell about some people's content. Sure, some people's content is just content, not who they are. But a lot of times it's hard to fully put on a face and yeah, people are just stupid, annoying, or you can tell they're slimy. I can tell you're slimming through your content. You're likely gonna be slimmy in person. Yeah, that's for sure. And that's unfortunate because I don't think you have to be slimy to succeed. It's just easier, you know, Yeah, definitely is easier. Yeah, it's definitely a quicker route. Yeah, for sure. There are people that, um we associated within the past that I wouldn't mind meeting up with again. You know, maybe maybe Dave Tate. Yeah, like I've never met Dave Tate, and so like, he's one of the legends that I haven't met. I guess because I felt like I met so many legends. I didn't get a chance to meet Louis simmons um. But yeah, he's one of the few to talk shit on the newer generation even more. I think a lot of them don't like respect tradition or respect history.

5:47 When I grew up just liking that. You know, my favorite basketball players Magic Johnson, he retired in ninety one. I was two years old, and yeah, like I grew up in his generation. He's just my favorite player of all time. And Larry Bird and Bill Russ and I watched all these guys and the same with lifting as soon as I got into it, you know. Yeah, west Side was a thing in eight nine, twenty ten, but they weren't that wasn't peak west Side, and I grew up reading west Side even before super training. You know, I tried to learn from the past. And Dave Tate's obviously one of those figures that's that's really dope into the Nichia powerlifting and done something cool. So I guess i'd throw his name in there for me, just because I don't know if you want to call it a bucket list or you know, just like the the I don't mean the directory. There's a term no one uses, the directory of powerlifting. Yeah, that I that I would, you know, kind of put in my resume. Yeah. I lucky enough to have hung out with some with Louis Um, some with Dave Tate, UM, some of that that whole generation. Some of the newer strong man maybe would be cool.

6:49 Yeah, you know, yeah, I don't know. The Stoltman brothers seemed funny, and some of these guys seem to have a good time, or Trey Trey Mitchell, you know, the American guy. They just seemed like a cooler new generation and maybe they suck maybe to cool. I don't know, but it'd be cool. It w't meet them. World run as Man is happening right now. Yeah, I've been trying to read some updates. But the whole television thing really does kind of ruin that sport in my opinion, it does. If you can't like broadcast it live, it's hard to keep it a secret. And then what Yeah if the secret spoiled, why do I want to watch it in December? Right? Like? Just film it in November and film it yeah yeah, and lateral rip. Yeah, if they if they treated it more like a live production as opposed to the way they they put it together, it would probably be faster. Let's do a live production and then let's do a behind the scenes documentary yearly or something. Yeah, you know that that goes into the emotion and the injuries and the backstory. But then do the live one more like a ESPN live one, and it's proven it's been done. CrossFit does a pretty good live.

7:46 The Rogue Invitational with CrossFit and Strongman is pretty good live. Yeah, So yeah, do that. And then if you want to dive into like one guy or three guys stories, Brian would obviously be a good one because I think it's he already said he's going to retire. Dive into that story this year and someone else's next year. Um, feel h Felix. What can I think of the name right now? Mark Felix. Mark Felix is retiring, So yeah, you follow Mark and you follow Brian this year or something like that. Thora was coming back but he tore his pack. I don't know if you know he's coming back to powerlifting, and then I think he's gonna do strong next year. The year okay, but he did rip his pack. I watched that live. I just thought the picture it's pretty gruesome. Yeah, live wasn't as gruesome, just because you know sometimes that the shirt doesn't like fit right, you don't like see it. Oh, you know what I mean. So it didn't look as crazy. But yeah, the teary didn't look good proper. All the all the thoughts with that guy to come back strong, because I know he was fired up to compete.

8:41 I'm sure you will. Um. I should also mention Wendler. I've hung out with Wendler more times than any of the other ones, and um, he's always been super cool to me. Yeah. I dinner with him once. Yeah, he was on my directory. Do you know what directory is? That's crazy? Didn't he know what director. A whole generation gap papping right here. It's like a fisher opening in the floor. Directory's like like like where you hold like addresses and names and phone numbers. Like every year in high school, they sent out a school directory at my school for such a small community to have every family's name number, most of their addresses, every teacher's name number, address. Yeah, that's a directory for any of the under like twenty seven year olds watching. It's like your phone book on your phone. Yeah yeah, yeah, it's yeah, your contact list, your contact list. Yeah yeah, yeah, it was a contact list.

9:31 Yeah, I'm sure she did. Yeah, I'm sure she did. Yeah. You'd sometimes make one at home, but like if you worked at an office sometimes they would have one or a club or Yeah, my school was small enough, so we had our own. Do you remember this is a real throat back. You remember the things that used to be Um they were spring loaded. Okay, they had a lid and you moved the dial to the letter of the last name of the person that you wanted to looked up, and you hit that button and then it popped up. That's fancy, Like, I don't think we had that. You have that just regular like yeah, ring Binder type esque. Yeah. Yeah, well, speaking of people who were in in our contact lists. And I just caught up with If you are you caught up with the Mandalorian yet, I'm not.

10:15 I'm not kind of with shit. I still haven't watch the Last of Us. I've been kind of for the first time we talk about last episod. I've been kind of caught up in basketball, probably for the first time in a decade. Oh really Yeah, so I've just been diving in the playoffs a little bit. Um, having an all my second monitor. Yeah, that's about all I'm watching, and I'm really watching. Well spoiler alert, Um, someone we know who actually we had dinner with Wendler and this person, Tate U is a pretty significant character. And he goes down in Mandalorian. Yeah, because he's in the first season, right, but he dies in this season. Yes, I'm sorry, No, I thought he died even in the first round. It was more of a background since you can't see his face, it's just his voice. Yeah. Oh, in this new one, I think he's I think he's it's his body, probably because he's just done stuff too. Yeah, and he's tall, yeah UFC fighter.

11:01 Yeah, I don't think that. I don't think Pedro Pascalis inside the Mandalorian suit anymore. I don't think he has been since maybe the first season. I was very confused by this season. I don't really know what the hell happened. So people say it's really good, though, I mean, yeah, it's not bad. Yeah, I'm more into a so called maybe all wait for that. I don't know why I'm in a Mandalorian, but I told you Star Wars to me's lightsabers, you know, so I kind of need that action. We got dark saber. Oh there's a saber. There's a dark saber. Yeah, yess for maybe I'll being or that. Yeah, there's some Darth Maul shit. I need some of that action. Yeah all right, I think that's good with this one.
