Episode 19.15, The OPEN+ Recap Episode Apr 04, 2019

Show notes

The CrossFit Open may be over, but who doesn’t love to rehash the past? This week we’re talking about our favorite and least favorite workouts from this year’s Open, what an Open workout would look like if we could design one (think Lipsync Battle for time), and how you can still help raise money for the Open+. So far The OUT Foundation has raised over $28,000.00, but we could still use your help! Her Majesty Adam Lambert makes a cameo in this week’s Obsessed, and we fall down a rabbit hole at lightening speed once Dani from Tila Tequila’s Shot at Love got brought up. Thanks to all our listeners who sent in their favorite workouts this week!

Episode 19.14, The Toxic Masculinity Episode Mar 28, 2019

Show notes

The only thing Toxic we love is the song by Britney Spears. Today we’re talking about Toxic Masculinity - in life, and in the CrossFit community. Our friends over at The Good Men Project define it as “the cultural ideal of manliness, where strength is everything while emotions are a weakness.” We break down the famous Gillette commercial from this year that tried to address Toxic Masculinity, why “girls can be boyish but boys can’t be girlish,” and some headline makers that are breaking the norms. Sofia Vergara makes a cameo appearance in our Obsessed clip, and we do a rapid fire Would You Rather that will leave you ~BrEaThLeSs~~~~~ OBSESSED: "Sophia Vergara Reads a Bedtime Story" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Hywq3YAujg LINKS: https://goodmenproject.com/featured-content/the-difference-between-toxic-masculinity-and-being-a-man-dg/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/01/15/gillette-takes-toxic-masculinity-new-ad-rebranding-metoo-era-inviting-backlash/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.2256a85d910e https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/12/health/boys-girls-gender-norms-parenting-strauss/index.html Follow us on Instagram: @outcast_podcast

Relationships. They help shape us. They define the way we engage with the world around us. They can bring us pleasure as easily as they bring us pain.
