Posts Tagged ‘Drive Time with Smashby’

This is good one. Mostly because I say “plun fanned” during the video.

Yeah, you’ll just need to watch to see what I mean.

LISBETH, help meeee! 🙂

New questions from Megan, UN-suggestions from Casey and great advice from Molly King.

A pretty productive little Drive Time! 🙂

Well Alec, I’m not sure if this counts, but I had a pretty embarrassing moment happen during this morning’s Drive Time with Smashby. I listened to Toto’s “Africa” last night, and when Men At Work’s “Land Down Under” came on, I said it was by Toto. Le sigh.

So I’ve had more people talk to me about Drive Times, I had Jen Silva suggests some names for the show and I’m just about out of topics to discuss. Keep ’em coming, folks.

Today, I decided to devote a little bit of time to talk about WOD #3 of the 2011 CrossFit Games Open, strategy, thoughts, etc. Enjoy!

Questions fielded from Casey Polk!

Questions still out there to be answered from Alec Hanson and Aaron Varcasio.

BOOM!

Still trying to find a good name for the “show”. Open to your awesome ideas, and thinking of them, myself. Remember, it probably won’t always be in a car, and definitely won’t always happen during the morning rush.

As our good friend, Winnie the Pooh, says:

CrossFit, CrossFit Lakewood, CrossFit in Denver, Smashby Training, Think, winnie-pooh-think

Think, think, think... (of a good name for the show)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BOOOOOOOOOM!!

Alec, I now know how awesome you feel in the morning when you record a successful Drive Time with Alec on the way to work. It’s like before you even walk in the door to “the job”, you’ve knocked something off of the punch list for “the passion” (CrossFit). It feels pretty nice.

So, the next installment of Drive Time with Smashby was completed today, and I’m very interested to hear what you guys have to say about it. Not sure why I couldn’t remember the last question Alec asked, but I’ll get it next time.

Any other discussion topics? Let me hear ’em!!

… and help me talk to you, too!

Most of you know of my stricly blogular (yep, that’s a word) relationship with the one and only Alec Hanson (host of Drive Time with Alec… check it). Most of you also know that I have accepted his challenge (twice now) to produce an online blogging video for “the people”.

I am going to paste them below here, just to show how awesome they are with you. The point of THIS post, is to say that I would like to continue doing this, but I would NOT like to continue making up my own talking points.

I’m not mainting this blog for me (although I really do love working on it!), I’m trying to use it as a place to communicate with you guys when we’re outside of the gym walls. Therefore, I need topics to discuss! What do you want me to talk about? What are you curious about? What information can I get for or share with you?

I know you all have things you want to pick my brain, or learn more, about. So let’s start talking. I won’t call anyone out here by name (kiplindacaseyweschristianwillcrystaljamiejobsquareddrewtangjenjuniorscottalonpaige) because that would be mean. But seriously, people. It takes one comment on this post to say, “Tom, talk to me about….”

I promise it will be fun. And you know what… if it isn’t, I’ll stop. Yep. That simple.

So go ahead, bask in the glory of videos #1 and #2, and LET’S DO THIS!!!

and the sequel

(Remember – I’m not only looking for topics, but also a cool, fun and catchy name for this thing.)

Someone suggested I change up the “Drive Time” theme to be a bit more unique, so here’s my first attempt.
What do you guys think?

Also, what should I talk about next time? Please suggest topics in the comments section of this post!

Alec Hanson called out his “Drive Time with Alec” viewers and challenged them to complete a “Drive Time”-like taping of their own.

If you’ve been following this blog for the last few months, you’ll know that Alec and I have had a pretty good back-and-forth dialogue, so I decided to take him up on the offer.

Do you guys see any benefit to a segment like this?

Basically it would become an “Ask Tom” segment to the blog. You would be able to send me topics via Facebook or through this blog, and then I would reply in video form instead of just a written post.

FEEDBACK, please! 🙂

Also, if the desire for this is out there, I need a name better than “Drive Time with Smashby.” It’s too much like Alec’s, and when I get more YouTube subscribers than him (*cough*cough*, subscribe to my channel), I want the name of my “Series” to be more original.
(What I mean by that is, no one can replace Alec Hanson, and I want to find my own niche out there!)

Let me know what you think, ladies and gentlemen!
