I tried to keep it playing in the bedroom with the girlfriend while doing the dirty; she made me turn it off.

...I guess not everyone likes it.

TRS is a complete asshole.....which why I listen to the podcasts and have some of the merchandise. Does anyone know what the hip hop song is that is used on the podcast?

Ha ha. I bought it from some website that sells the rights to hip hop beats. Artist is just some dude in a basement probably.

Did you apply for the draft by the way? I saw you request to be a part of the google plus group, but hadn't seen anything prior.

I'm draft eligible.

So funny. I just started listening to the podcast last week and thought the same thing about the hip hop beat.

Thanks for the entertainment!

Found it on iTunes and loaded it up on my phone

Being a BMXer long long ago, I naturally went to the Dave Mirra one first ... however, since there was homework to be done & dinner to be made, I couldn't devote full attention to it

I heard something about doing a flair on a tri-bike, and "which triathlete could you beat up?"

Love the show!! Given today's Main Stream Media scripted garbage, I think people really want to hear someone ask legit questions that span across the spectrum. Mix in some humour and you hit the nail right on the head. I think people are tired of listening to ESPN athlete interviews that are loaded with scripted/cliche/safe media educated question/answers. I understand some triathletes do have sponsers, so they have to be a little careful in what they say, but continue to go after them with entertaining stuff that wouldn't normally be asked in another forum. Stay away from the normal scripted trash and your show will continue to skyrocket.

You may be interested, there's a new podcast about podcasting: http://5by5.tv/podcastmethod/1

I'm just this guy ya know?

So, how drunk were you while tweeting the Challenge race? Funny Shit!!!

I've just started listening. Been through the Conrad Stolz, TO and Rinny and Brent McMahon interviews. Enjoying it so far - I like the style of interview and the variety of the questions. Between this and IM talk I now have tons of ammo for the trainer.

Let my start this off with I'm a big fan of your show and first time caller. This morning I listened to the first 20 minutes of the Crowie interview and it was in stereo on my headphones. Dark Mark in my right ear and TRS on my left ear. It was very annoying for the first few minutes and didn't know if I could make it to the Crowie part of the interview. I ended up putting in a mono bluetooth headset to listen to the rest of the interview so I didn't have the back and forth left and right ear chatter. The audio quality has improved greatly since the beginning. Are real podcasts and interviews always done in stereo? Or were my headphones just F'd up?

I noticed the same thing. But worse, one my first pair of earbuds I was using, the left wasn;t putting out any sound, so all I heard was the sidekick at one point (Dark Mark) and lots of silence. I grabbed another, better set (my wife's) and it improved.

I don't mind the stereo, as it gives you the effect of sort of being in the room with someone on each side of a table or something.

I am really sorry. I typically use a program called Pamela to record a skype call. I have been unable to get that program to work ever since I installed the latest version of skype last week. For whatever reason they aren't compatible anymore, even after re-installing the previous version of skype. I used a back-up program called mp3 voice recorder and everything was fucked up. The worst thing wasn't the stereo. The worst thing was that it recorded my voice not from the microphone I use, but from the laptop. I had to scrub all of the interviews, removing the baseline buzz from my laptop. Last night was a nightmare. Biggest "get" of the show and I fucked up the audio.

I am buying new recording, mixing, processing and microphone equipment today. This will never happen again. Thank you for bearing with us. The Crowie interview is worth it despite my bad mic. I got him to admit that he tried to fight Macca before masters swim practice a few years ago. You've never heard him like this before.

Recently downloaded the (actual) Starky interview - enjoyed that, so much more interesting when the interviewees don't just give stock answers and aren't afraid to say what they think. Have just downloaded the Crowie one. One question...many of the these interviews are with pretty prominent people in the sport....how do you persuade them to come on and talk? Out of interest do they charge a fee or just do it "for the good of the sport" or because they feel they want a platform to put their spin on something or ....?

I figured out how to make that stereo track a mono track. iTunes should reflect the update in a few hours. Fixed on my blog/RSS/etc now.

No guest has charged me a fee to talk to them. If anything, I should charge them to be on my show.

Love that you're eviscerating triathlon media and bringing some personality to the sport. The Australian guy's interviews from IM WA were absolutely great.

As a Norwegian I am really offended by your swearing. If you want to use offensive language you have to use it properly, not just throw out a F and S totally randomly. Swearing is an art form and should be respected and taken seriously.

Rich reaches a huge audience because he was smart enough to abandon triathlon because it's extremely limiting.

Well said!

People in the sport of triathlon think it's big, but the reality is, it's a small sport with limited reach. Even running dwarfs it significantly in terms of participation numbers, numbers of events and the important one, amount of money in the sport!

The ONE thing triathlon has going for it, is the demographic is VERY good, that, and, triathletes will buy anything, that they heard will make them 5% faster/better! :)

Just finished the Crowie podcast, bringing my lifetime total of tri podcasts downloaded to 4 (all TRS).

You really are doing a great job with these and I'm looking forward to whatever you have next in the pipeline. I clicked through on your sponsors (looking for a new wetsuit) so might be making use of your discount code as well, so thanks for that.

As mentioned above, your Asian Pacific guy was solid.

Thoroughly enjoyed crowie and carfrae interviews and just threw a donation your way. Hell i enjoyed all the interviews. Keep it up!

How do you feel about the burping?

There wasn't a single burp this entire episode. I apologize to those of you who enjoy a good belch.

TRS,

You are slipping.

Clearly you need more beer.

Beer as you know is a great belch catalyst!
