Finally Eddie and Dave sit down to talk. This is probably THE most important interview in CrossFit history as Eddie bugs the hell out of Dave to have a pay-per-view, one on one with Matt Fraser and Rich Froning. Eddie also asks all the tough questions like, "what happened to Drywall and did Dave program against Hunter McIntyre?" One of the most fun episodes to listen to as we pull the curtain away to find out that Dave Castro is actually one of the coolest guys in the biz. Thanks to our sponsors Goodr and Ritual Beverage.
