| 0:12.3 | Welcome your host, Strength and Conditioning Coach, 2012 and 2013 CrossFit Games Channel, Michael Cajou. |
| 0:19.6 | Mind, Body, brute. |
| 0:25.6 | Hello, hello, welcome back. This is Michael Cashew and you're listening to the Brute Strength |
| 0:29.9 | podcast. This week I've got Greg Knuckles on the show. Greg is the founder of Stronger |
