Calvin Baze is an NSCA Certified Personal Trainer currently working at Snap Fitness in Long Beach. He grew up in the tiny town of Ocean Park, Washington. (Calvin and I grew up on the same street, just not at the same time.)
Within the first 10 minutes of the interview it becomes obvious that Calvin is a deep-thinker who understands how important it is to consider the effects on his actions on other people and his own life. We start with a psychological analysis to detect any psychopathic tendencies, then move into his training ideologies. He lays out many of his guiding principles and we get to peek under the hood at what makes a guy like this tick.
Later in the podcast we move into more personal territory and discuss our childhood memories and how they affect us in adult life. Calvin talks about his failure to express his childhood pain to anyone because he doesn't want to appear as if he is seeking sympathy. He talks about how he has used the hardships of his past to propel him into a brighter future. We also talk about being part of an often-forgotten marginalized group: poor whites. We talk about experiencing classism and prejudice because of socioeconomic status.
Other topics include:
Calvin is an amazing young man and I cannot wait to see where he goes in life. I have no doubt that he will accomplish every one of his goals. Settle-in and get comfortable because Calvin Baze is about to teach you the tricks of building strength throughout your life and these are lessons that you don't want to miss.

Local artist and longtime friend Madeline Pointer joins me for an enlightened discussion about the state of the world, the future of humanity and why it is so easy to fall in love a good salad.
I explain my findings regarding Elon Musk's plan for global domination, Madeline talks about the wild foraged ingredients you can find in local PNW cuisine. We bond over our common dopamine regulation deficiencies (ADHD). And we recount some of our finest memories from Ilwaco High School.
Topics include:
Is Elon Musk the antichrist?
What is the Mandela Effect and is it proof that we live in a simulation?
The surprising history of drugs like MDMA and Psilocybin.
Technologies that will define our future.
I really enjoyed making this episode. Madeline was a fantastic guest and I couldn't be more grateful for her candor, her humor, and most of all, her patience (it took me a long time to finish it).
Thanks for listening!

Geoff Hylton joins me for this episode as we discuss drug addiction and the mechanisms that are involved, followed by a personal talk regarding addiction in our own lives and how it has played a role. We also cover Geoff's dating life, strange cultural practices of the Pacific Northwest, industry secrets behind "imitation crab", "wild-like fish" and other seafood conspiracies, sugar: the other white drug; the surprising benefits of prayer, and some of the dangers facing women today. The first half of this episode is more technical than the usual free episodes and we go deep into the processes that underly our biological and psychological functioning. You will hear some technical jargon, but it has plenty of comedic breaks and very genuine personal moments that make the science seem very palatable.
This is a very personal episode and I like how it turned out. I hope you enjoy it. If you do, please share it with a friend. The best way to help the show is to talk about it.
Thank you for supporting Ramble by the River.
Much love,
Jeff

Mooch Smith (current Athletic Director at Naselle School District) joins me to re-open old wounds and finally begin to heal after years of ignoring the pain. We start by recalling what was likely the first time we met; facing-off in what came to be remembered as a controversial match of pee-wee football. We move-on to discuss the Naselle Youth Camp's impending closure and we get the inside scoop from Mooch.
We cover topics ranging from personal to political. At times it gets pretty intense but we always maintain humor and open-mindedness throughout. Along the way you might hear: what inspired Mooch to become an educator, his philosophies for coaching and for managing coaches, why community matters, what its like to raise kids in your hometown, and a bunch of stories from back in the day.
You'll also get in-depth coverage of news and current events such as: Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter, the failed Red Bull stunt that ended with a plane crash, and the latest legal issues for Donald Trump.
