My CrossFit Radio interview is up on the CFJ. I just finished listening to it myself. (I had a morbid curiosity that I had to satisfy... not that that there was anything I could have done tonight about sounding like a total moron on Monday.)
Gant says I don't sound as retardedly Yankee as he might have imagined. Jenna says I don't sound ANYTHING like she imagined. And I don't think I sound like myself at ALL. But aside from the voice, it turns out it really was as fun an interview as I remembered. Those guys run a good program, and I enjoyed the variety of topics we ended up talking about. I especially appreciated how much time they gave to my CFJ article. That discussion was important to me, especially given how many emails and comments I received from those who identified with what I wrote. Neil let me jump on my soapbox about women, body image and diet for a good 20 minutes, and I'm grateful to them for letting me have at it.
I am not, however, grateful for the number of people who are now referring to me as an "itty, bitty thing". Knock it off. And since either Neil or JJ (I'm not sure who) overstated my max deadlift in a public forum... when I finally DO pull 225#, you're having me back on the show to talk about it. Yes, you are.
Push the button, Neil.

5 people drop some props (leave a comment here):
dude.....i FORGOT to listen to that live, SO PISSED. I'll try and listen to it today though. No on thats met you could possibly call you an "itty bitty" anything....I mean come on, you're taller than the average dude, and you tower over me :)
I agree... I wouldn't call your "accent" Yankee at all. :)
And I think I tried that itty bitty thing once, didn't I? Then again I can do that, I'm 6'3" 240. :P
What resonated with me from that show and served as a good reminder IMO was the brief comment you made about having figures in the community that aren't necessarily firebreathers in all areas or aspiring Games competitors. I think it's easy to get caught up in a lot of the elite mainpage highlights from time to time and forget that this program is still for everyone that is interested in the philosophy and results. We all start somewhere etc etc.
Props on a good interview. Well done and well said.
I listened last night. Good interview. I agree with Brian, not all of us are firebreathers and it was great that you covered that.
Not retardedly Yankee, no. But I do remember hearing a "dee zuhl."
::sigh::
