I'm pleased with the way this turned out. It's a pretty solid presentation of our ideas, probably the best I've done.

Excellent! I’m also so glad you referenced Richard Feynman (f-eye-n-man). There is a learning and teaching technique named after him but I bet you are the first to apply the same rationale to athletics specifically and human movement generally.

As a big time MR fan (I said hello to you in March this year) I loved the podcast. The host however should learn to be more quiet. That was obnoxious at some point. Like listening to a 5 year old.

I do the same thing. It didn't bother me at all, and it's just what people do when they are having a conversation.

I do the same thing.

But you got a baritone voice, this guy is a falsetto tenor. Big difference.

After hearing an old-time reporter hear in Canada say that he was taught early that when conducting an interview, "the shorter the question, the better the answer." Kind of seems like there's a parallel to Rip's "read more, post less."

There are people whom I am genuinely curious what they may have to say on a subject, but when they are doing all the talking, why bring on a guest?

That is for a bit more formal interviews though. Rip never claims to be doing anything more than a conversation.

I tuned in to this podcast to hear what Rip had to say. The interviewer was and continues to be of no interest to me and I will not seek out any of his future or past podcasts to learn more about his expertise in the firearms craft- he has strong competition in that field. The interviewers mannerisms and misplaced expressions of love for Rip's comments were a distraction but Rip gutted it out and conveyed his message successfully. Well done Rip, and good luck in the future to the interviewer.

Enjoyed the podcast but that interviewer is an enthusiastic fucker. I wish a misanthrope me could be more like that sometimes.

I was about half an hour in when I posted. I noticed at about the hour mark it really got bad, and continued the rest of the way. I was of the same bent (wanting to hear what Rip had to say), and as a bonus, I think I even saw a smile from Rip in there at one point. :-)

The shame is that people's attention spans are so short these days. They need to listen to Rip with what he is saying. Up here in Canada, you'd be amazed at how many people are willing to pay big money to a guy who "played high level hockey" thinking that will get their kid further along. Some are good, some aren't, but the automatic assumption that high level play = high level coach is strong, and Rip does a great job of tearing that apart in this podcast.

There was a good comment on a Youtube video a while ago: When Rippetoe speaks, you shut your mouth.
