'Til next time... Peace✌️ - Sport
Christian changes teams for the better. This is just a chapter in his life and it’s crazy to say but I know he’s gonna do bigger things in life, bigger than football.
Couldn't agree more. Thanks for tuning in!
Christian is an extremely motivating human being. Both of you guys have a level of awareness about you that makes this conversation so engaging. I hope to achieve a level of confidence and discipline that you guys have.
“Music is the space between the noises”. That’s hard.
Bars!
Wow, what a great interview. The best I've ever seen of CMC. Great questions Brennan. You're both real people, meaning you come across so genuine.
Thank you, man. That means a lot! More to come.
Christian is a real inspiration to me,when he runs I see he is mastering that space between musical notes that gives him those moments to find his way to the space of his next note
The 49er's would NOT be the team they are now, WITHOUT C Mac!!!! He is a BEAST and a BAller!!! I hope they go all the way!!
The ulimate athlete 🚀
CMC my favorite football player❤
Speed kills! Thank you Christian McCaffrey for acknowledging how hard elite track athletes work. Great interview, CMC seems to be a legit decent human.
I like Christian Mccaffrey, even more, knowing he admired Bruce Lee
Unreal interviews with professional players. I like when CMac mention Laird Hamilton and Gabby intense training. And yes they are Animals in training in the water. Breathe holds,sauna,ice bathes their training is intense I'm a body boarder in Hawaii and yes training,mentally,physically and Dieting. Man what a interview God bless you all Amen 🙏
Thanks for watching, man! Hope you stick around for more!
CMC was my favorite player even before there was an ounce of hope he would be a Niner. Wild to see how uncommon he really is, even amongst uncommon men. They robbed you of a Heisman, but you said “Hold my beer, I’ll get an MVP instead.”
CMC4MVP.
He's a monster
Incredible episode!
“Touch that gas, full speed intent, you better eat right if you want to get faster.” Much respect for respecting the track!
Great pod! Randomly came across this on my home page, and I am glad I tuned in! CMC has been my favorite player since I had him in madden 17 MUT... He's a beast. I will be tuning in to future pods for sureee
Thanks so much! Hope you stick around. More to come!
Great interview, one of the very best across any sport.
Enjoyed this interview. Always enjoyed and respected Christian as a player while he was at Stanford, but was so happy when he came to San Francisco. They had a bunch of great running backs but as a person and great multitalented player who works hard to be the best and be so humble he is a great role model. May God continue to bless and watch over you,you family and team mates. 🙏 Just an old 84 year old 49er fan.
Thanks for watching!
I really appreciate how you both let each other finish what your thoughts were without interrupting each other. Great listeners always succeed tremendous podcast thank you !
thank you for this feedback! hope you tune in for more!
A fella who wants to play football at a high level, ABSOLUTELY shines on gold and red.
CMC is one of my favorites out of a team FULL of talent.
10 broken records with panthers with MANY more to come with the 49ers.
October 20, 2022 a team made a huge mistake. second, third, and fourth-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft is a small price to pay for a guy full of football like CMAC.
Thanks for being a niner.
Well said!
Gentleman!!! That was perfection!!!! Thank you!!!
this literally the best interview !!!!!!!!!! its nice seeing atheltes just chill and vibe and not so tight and worried about every word they say
Thanks so much! Hope you stick around for more!
Bring him back on post season I want to see what hes feeling going into the next season
Really down to earth ... thanks for the talk ...
I’m officially a huge fan of CMac
Way underwatched content! Sharing with my fellow die hard 9ers fans after the win in Philly.
appreciate you! thanks for tuning in!
Part 2 after super bowl 🏈 please Brennan
Tuned in 🎧
Fantastic interview. CMC is my favorite current Niners player (Ronnie Lott is my favorite, all time). Love his thoughts on Bruce Lee, a lifelong idol.
I LOVE his whole vibe🙏🏻😍 💕
CMC is a machine
I wanted him out of college and today knowing he’s on our team, gosh I’m so happy! He’s a true 49er. Great inside and out! Great interview brotha 🤙🏽
He’s a bit odd
Thank you for this video, I absolutely love it, you were both inspiring! I love that both of you have so much depth on improving your mental and physical health and game, it's amazing, yet not surprising.
I'm more familiar with Christian because I like watching different football teams and I first noticed him when he played for the Panthers, and he became one of my fave players. When he was traded to the 49ers, I knew that team would be unstoppable, yikes! anyway... I could easily write an essay here, but will hold back... I love the interview, it was so real, and love the depth, I had planned to watch a snippet, but was so intrigued, I watched the whole thing.
Hey Brennan! Very cool man. I started going to Cal home games when I was 16 back in 1980 man and I loved watching you at Cal. I don't blame you for transferring because of circumstances plus your brother was at Stanford. I just want to say thank you for all the thrills at Cal.
I loved this conversation with Christian McCaffery. That was a no joke conversation and I love those kinds of give and take. Two highly intelligent dudes who dig deep into life who consider their lives carefully. The unexamined life is not worth living man. Also, if we cannot be honest with our selves then we are in trouble and at risk of being a victim rather than owning our choices.
I obviously was no where close to the kind of athlete you two were so I am speaking from a different life experience. I coached high school wrestling for 10 years including my last 2 as head coach. I began to think that much of training is not so much to physically prepare us for our sport so much as it is to convince us that we deserve to succeed. We have worked hard. We have done everything to our best ability. We even did extra. Some guys are supremely talented athletes (like you two) and those types of elite athletes don't require much convincing because they already expect to succeed. For the rest of us not so much. We require varying levels of convincing and that is where the training and extra work makes a huge difference. What do you think? Am in the ball park or out to lunch man? hahaha
Thanks again Brennan and really enjoyed this conversation. Very real man and really well handled. You did a nice job.

Education, PLUS!! keep up the great vibes!!
Thanks for tuning in! Christian was spitting wisdom this whole interview.
Your podcast is so underrated! This is such good quality content. Keep it up brother!
Thanks for tuning in! Appreciate you. We're pushing!
Awesome interview!
Thanks for watching! Was a great conversation for sure. Hope you check out some of the other episodes of our show! If you liked this one, you might like the interview with fellow Stanford alum Solomon Thomas!
this pod was fucking incredible, filled with absolute GEMS
I just came across your channel. I NEVER sit through hour long interviews, but you are quite phenomenal actually.
Thanks for watching! Appreciate you. Hope you stick around for more!
@BScarTV Welcome brother. Will do. Thanks for the response. Really cool of you.
CMC got fired up about those deer
Best interview with Christian. This is gonna blow up.
Appreciate your support!
ha ha equally fired up and terrified! Missionary saying Amen!
This is sick
Outstanding interview he . I have a lot better comprehension of Cmac I always thought he was too small but never knew he put on weight and the training and other sports. Get Joe Burrow on your show…he was a point guard in high school…similar ❤I hope Frisco wins the Super Bowl my Bengals humbled them then the Ravens any given Sunday any team can win. Paul Brown taught me that they beat the Vikings 27-0 in the Bengals 3rd season…the Vikings were a Super Bowl team
Proud of you Christian!
Christian: I'm proud of myself.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Their family is insane
Please get big Trent Williams on he’s got to have some good stories
Great idea!
yessssir
CMC big Hallo from Croatia
CMC Big Hallo from Crotia
😢cmc “the word”🙏🏾
And in his crib ! CMC that guy
1:00:00 'He never got jumped' hahahahaha
To be fair that's why I preferred Jackie Chan's movies, because he was always getting jumped. Watch Who Am I you'll see what I mean.
What hat is cmc wearing in this
2 on 2 ... 2 hand touch on the street with the lawns the out of bounds you do learn how to fine tune your skills ... competitive brothers in sports or 1 on 1 with a steady qb
Real ones know.
Great interview. not the standard bs.
Thank you! Hope you stick around for more.
I rlly wonder how him and culpo met
That 400 the hard way workout was never fun (run 100 walk back 50)
