MADcast podcast episode 13. In this episode we start off with a casual sip of whiskey. But by the end of our interview, you can really hear how casual drinks turns into crazy fun. Our guest is a Navy veteran and has not one, not two, but three masters degrees.  An awsome athlete with modest beginings. Kyle has traveled the world and casually found Crossfit. And our fearless coach and host of the show, Big Dave is floored when he learns who Kyles first Crossfit coach was and what kind of a discount was offered to our guest when he dropped into Dave's gym. We cover so much in this episode and if you listen close, you can pinpoint when the whiskey kicks in and we all get a little wild.  Sit back and pour yourself an "Old fashion" while you listen to our guest Kyle Meece.
