Javier in the air.....and the worst beer ever!

In this wild episode of the MADcast Podcast, Big Dave and Producer Russ sit down with the Ayala brothers — Robert and Javier Ayala — for a conversation that goes everywhere and nowhere all at once (in the best possible way).The guys dive into how Robert and Javier first got started in fitness and the strange, roundabout paths that eventually led them to meeting Big Dave. In a twist that feels straight out of a sitcom, Robert and Dave even lived in Florida at the same time years ago but somehow never crossed paths — only to finally meet later in Austin, where they became great friends and regular gym training partners.Javier also makes sure everyone knows about his YouTube show “Javier in the Air.” In fact, he plugs it so many times that it might be worth turning this episode into a drinking game — take a shot every time you hear “Javier in the Air,” which you can watch right now on YouTube.Speaking of drinking, the crew cracks open a variety of beers during the episode — including one that might go down as one of the worst beers ever tasted in the 96 episodes of MADcast. It’s absolutely disgusting, and you’ll hear the guys do their best to power through it while trying not to gag. Thankfully, not every beer is a disaster, and the conversation turns to better brews, including the Ayala brothers’ annual tradition of rating pumpkin beers on their YouTube channel and podcast.From there, the episode spirals into everything you’d expect from MADcast: beers, music, movies, Cheech & Chong references, gym talk, and plenty of laughs along the way.Fair warning — this one runs long. Sorry to our executive producer Lindsay, as the crew blows right past the 90-minute mark. But grab a drink, kick back, and enjoy the ride. This episode is a full-on barrel of monkeys.And don’t forget — head over to inthecrew512.com and save 15% at checkout when you use promo code MADCAST.Thanks for listening and enjoy the show! 🍻🎙️
