  I was born to kill it.
• 0:15
  I was meant to win.
• 0:16
  I am down and willing,
• 0:17
  so I will find a way.
• 0:19
  It took a minute,
• 0:20
  now it didn't happen right away.
• 0:21
  When it get hot in the kitchen,
• 0:23
  you decide to stay.
• 0:24
  That's how a winner's made.
• 0:30
  What is going on, everybody?
• 0:32
  Welcome to the Clydesdale Media Podcast.
• 0:35
  My name is Scott Switzer.
• 0:35
  I'm the Clydesdale.
• 0:36
  And I'm so pumped to have
• 0:38
  with me today Ariel Loewen,
• 0:40
  my friend that we get to
• 0:41
  catch up a little bit after
• 0:43
  about six months.
• 0:45
  And you're my first
• 0:47
  interview back from what
• 0:49
  I've been going through health-wise.
• 0:51
  And you're the person that
• 0:53
  will ease me into this.
• 0:54
  I know it.
• 0:54
  So I'm leaning on you as
• 0:56
  much as you'll be leaning on me.
• 0:58
  I love it.
• 0:59
  Thanks for having me, Scott.
• 1:00
  To brag on Scott,
• 1:02
  you were in the hospital this morning,
• 1:03
  correct?
• 1:04
  I was.
• 1:05
  And he's still out here grinding.
• 1:07
  Glad you're here.
• 1:07
  I am.
• 1:09
  I just wanted to get back to
• 1:10
  normal as quickly as possible.
• 1:12
  And I am so stoked to be back.
• 1:15
  Good.
• 1:15
  Well, I'm glad you're back.
• 1:17
  I know we were supposed to
• 1:18
  connect a little bit ago,
• 1:18
  but all that scary stuff went down.
• 1:20
  So hoping for it's just
• 1:22
  smooth sailing from here for you.
• 1:24
  Yeah, me too.
• 1:26
  And I think this has been
• 1:28
  going on for a couple of years.
• 1:30
  So I think like this is
• 1:32
  actually going to help a
• 1:33
  lot of things in my life
• 1:34
  now that this is fixed.
• 1:37
  And, um, and I'm,
• 1:39
  so that like bright light
• 1:41
  at the end of this tunnel is very, very,
• 1:44
  um, enticing.
• 1:46
  And, um,
• 1:47
  I want to thank everybody for the
• 1:49
  prayers and,
• 1:50
  You know, God helped me through this.
• 1:51
  We talked a lot.
• 1:52
  God and I talked a lot today.
• 1:53
  And I'm glad I made it
• 1:58
  through in super quick, super,
• 2:01
  super easy.
• 2:02
  And yeah, everything went super well.
• 2:05
  The bright light at the end of the tunnel.
• 2:07
  What is that for you?
• 2:08
  What could you see?
• 2:10
  Back to being fit again,
• 2:13
  being able to do all the things I love,
• 2:17
  especially around this media company,
• 2:18
  being able to run from event to event,
• 2:21
  being able to move and
• 2:24
  groove with everything.
• 2:26
  That's what I want to get back to.
• 2:27
  Okay.
• 2:28
  So you already have goals.
• 2:30
  Oh, yeah.
• 2:31
  Yeah.
• 2:32
  They put me on a lot of
• 2:33
  prescriptions going into this, and I...
• 2:37
  my goal is already to check
• 2:39
  all those boxes off,
• 2:40
  like get rid of everything, get back to,
• 2:44
  um, all that.
• 2:44
  And my nutrition coach, Cheryl and I were,
• 2:47
  we've got a plan.
• 2:48
  Um,
• 2:48
  I got a new family doctor through all
• 2:50
  this who I love now and
• 2:53
  their plant there.
• 2:54
  You want to do that as well.
• 2:55
  So that's huge.
• 2:57
  Yeah.
• 2:59
  Don't tell me you're going
• 2:59
  to go on the carnivore diet.
• 3:01
  Is that, is that the next step?
• 3:03
  Uh,
• 3:06
  I'm not a carnivore diet guy.
• 3:07
  I'm more of a balanced.
• 3:10
  I don't blame you.
• 3:11
  Yeah.
• 3:11
  Eat healthy all year round.
• 3:12
  That's how I am.
• 3:13
  Dylan has been dabbling with
• 3:15
  the thought of trying the
• 3:16
  carnivore diet and I,
• 3:18
  I would love to watch it happen,
• 3:20
  but I'm like you,
• 3:21
  I am content with normalcy.
• 3:25
  Yeah.
• 3:26
  Yeah.
• 3:26
  Cheryl has me on 185 grams of protein,
• 3:29
  185 grams of carbs and 60 grams of fat.
• 3:35
  And I'm just trying to stay
• 3:36
  in those macros.
• 3:37
  Love it.
• 3:39
  so that's the plan um and
• 3:42
  I'm super excited for that
• 3:43
  so and then sarah cooper's
• 3:45
  asking the question where
• 3:46
  she got her membership from
• 3:47
  um wad zombie gifted five
• 3:50
  memberships and they went
• 3:52
  randomly to people in the
• 3:53
  chat yesterday that's how
• 3:56
  you got your membership to
• 3:57
  our channel cool so yeah
• 4:01
  thank you wad zombie for
• 4:02
  that um he is one of the
• 4:04
  coolest dudes in the in the land
• 4:06
  He really is.
• 4:08
  And he's everywhere.
• 4:09
  Like I'll listen to podcasts
• 4:11
  and then he'll be commenting on there.
• 4:13
  I'll listen over here.
• 4:14
  He's all over.
• 4:15
  He's like Batman.
• 4:16
  Yes.
• 4:17
  We actually,
• 4:18
  he actually sent me last night,
• 4:19
  a Clydesdale wad zombie
• 4:21
  collab t-shirt and it is sick.
• 4:25
  Yeah?
• 4:26
  Do you have pictures?
• 4:27
  Or not yet?
• 4:28
  It's on my phone,
• 4:29
  and I don't know how to get
• 4:31
  that up yet because I'm old.
• 4:33
  But it's basically a zombie
• 4:36
  riding a Clydesdale.
• 4:38
  Love it.
• 4:39
  Holding a barbell above his head.
• 4:41
  As he should.
• 4:42
  And it is really cool.
• 4:44
  That is cool.
• 4:45
  Well,
• 4:45
  I'll be on the lookout for it to drop.
• 4:47
  Would you sell those,
• 4:48
  or is that just for you?
• 4:50
  So we just...
• 4:52
  is what I love about talking
• 4:53
  to you we go all over the
• 4:55
  map um we're actually
• 4:56
  talking to a new sponsor
• 4:58
  who is an apparel brand who
• 5:00
  is looking to do some
• 5:03
  clydesdale merchandise fun
• 5:07
  so um now that we have that
• 5:09
  and someone who can print
• 5:10
  stuff for us it's gonna be
• 5:13
  a lot easier to do merch
• 5:15
  once we finally sign that deal
• 5:17
  Love it.
• 5:18
  Well,
• 5:18
  I actually branched out Patrick pups
• 5:21
  and PC, you know, Patrick,
• 5:23
  he gave me the awesome idea
• 5:25
  at water Palooza to make.
• 5:27
  I train in my garage.
• 5:29
  I work out of my garage shirts.
• 5:30
  So I kind of like you tested the waters.
• 5:33
  I had a two week presale.
• 5:35
  It ended yesterday.
• 5:36
  So I'm waiting on my t-shirt
• 5:38
  lady to tell me like how much we sold.
• 5:40
  Did the people like it?
• 5:41
  It's like branching into the, you know,
• 5:44
  kind of merge side.
• 5:46
  Yeah.
• 5:46
  I actually tried to buy one last night.
• 5:48
  Couldn't remember my CV, whatever code.
• 5:52
  Right.
• 5:53
  Check out.
• 5:55
  So I missed out on this one,
• 5:57
  but I tried to make sure
• 5:58
  you're wearing right now.
• 6:00
  I like it.
• 6:01
  I don't think she offered long sleeve.
• 6:02
  So maybe the next one I'll
• 6:04
  offer long sleeve.
• 6:05
  Yeah.
• 6:05
  It was, it was short sleeve.
• 6:07
  It was short sleeve and then tank tops.
• 6:08
  Yeah.
• 6:09
  But I actually just printed
• 6:11
  and made this one for myself.
• 6:13
  Cause I like a long sleeve look.
• 6:16
  So this one is exclusive.
• 6:18
  So that's in my notes.
• 6:19
  Like, so you did this line and it was,
• 6:21
  this was just a test the waters thing.
• 6:24
  Yeah.
• 6:24
  Test the waters.
• 6:26
  See if there's a market out
• 6:27
  there for people to buy.
• 6:29
  I mean, it's,
• 6:31
  I don't want to say it's a niche,
• 6:33
  like people who train in their garage,
• 6:35
  but also to see like,
• 6:36
  do people want to buy Ariel
• 6:37
  Lowe and stuff with my name on it?
• 6:39
  Do people train in their garage?
• 6:41
  I had a lot of good response
• 6:42
  from the street parking crew, of course,
• 6:44
  because they all train in their garage.
• 6:46
  But I actually had a lot of
• 6:47
  people reach out from Canada,
• 6:49
  from over in the UK, like,
• 6:51
  where is the international shipping?
• 6:52
  And that blew me out of the water.
• 6:54
  And I'm like, what do you mean?
• 6:56
  I figured only people in the
• 6:58
  US would care.
• 6:59
  So I don't know the numbers yet.
• 7:01
  I'm hoping, like, I felt goofy.
• 7:03
  The lady who I got to make
• 7:05
  them doesn't really know much
• 7:08
  So she's like, wait,
• 7:09
  you want it to say I train
• 7:10
  in my garage and that's it?
• 7:11
  I'm like, yeah,
• 7:12
  I want it to look like this.
• 7:14
  I'm hoping more than 10 people bought them,
• 7:16
  you know?
• 7:16
  So she's like, okay, this is justified.
• 7:21
  Which I'd imagine so.
• 7:22
  Yeah, I think,
• 7:24
  and that's kind of what I
• 7:25
  wanted to get into first is, like,
• 7:27
  a lot has changed since you
• 7:29
  took third place at the Games.
• 7:32
  You, a lot on the social media side.
• 7:34
  Real life, no.
• 7:37
  Well...
• 7:38
  And I've heard you say that.
• 7:40
  You know me.
• 7:41
  I'm going to argue with you.
• 7:42
  Okay.
• 7:45
  What your professional
• 7:48
  CrossFit life has looked
• 7:49
  like since that has been
• 7:51
  radically different from an
• 7:53
  outsider's view.
• 7:55
  Yes.
• 7:55
  You are getting invited to
• 7:56
  things like FitFest.
• 7:59
  Right.
• 8:00
  You are doing appearances
• 8:02
  all over the place at Waterpalooza.
• 8:04
  True.
• 8:05
  You got invited to do an
• 8:06
  open announcement.
• 8:08
  Yeah.
• 8:09
  You know, so like,
• 8:11
  like things have changed.
• 8:12
  Yeah.
• 8:13
  Maybe not in downtown Midland, Texas.
• 8:15
  Yes.
• 8:16
  Not my everyday routine life.
• 8:19
  The mundane.
• 8:20
  No, which is actually really refreshing.
• 8:22
  But from that perspective, absolutely.
• 8:25
  Yeah.
• 8:26
  So, um,
• 8:29
  so I think like your professional
• 8:30
  life is showing that a lot has changed.
• 8:32
  Yes.
• 8:33
  It's kind of given me the
• 8:34
  pat on the back of like,
• 8:35
  you are doing good.
• 8:37
  A bucket list was to do an
• 8:38
  open announcement.
• 8:39
  You get to do one this year.
• 8:42
  So I wanted to ask you, as an OG,
• 8:45
  open announcement is a very
• 8:46
  special thing.
• 8:49
  And the last week, Scott.
• 8:51
  Right.
• 8:52
  And against the six-time champion.
• 8:57
  Isn't that insane?
• 8:59
  I can't really put it into words.
• 9:01
  I don't know if I'm allowed to say this,
• 9:02
  but we're friends.
• 9:03
  I was supposed to be week one.
• 9:05
  And then I got phone calls happen.
• 9:07
  Something got moved around
• 9:09
  and I was literally
• 9:10
  training in my garage.
• 9:11
  I work out of my garage and
• 9:12
  I get a call from them and they're like,
• 9:14
  Hey, things got moved around.
• 9:16
  You don't have to say yes or no.
• 9:18
  Would you be open to the
• 9:19
  final week of the open?
• 9:22
  Bad news is you're going against Tia.
• 9:24
  Like you don't have to,
• 9:25
  if you don't want to kind of pray to get.
• 9:27
  And I was like, yes,
• 9:29
  you don't have to tell me anymore.
• 9:30
  Final week of the open honor.
• 9:32
  I mean, you know, as an OG,
• 9:34
  I still remember seeing the
• 9:36
  thruster burpee open
• 9:38
  announcement with Froning, Annie,
• 9:42
  Sam Briggs.
• 9:43
  You know, they save the legend for last.
• 9:46
  So to get asked to do the
• 9:47
  final week and then to get
• 9:48
  asked to go against Tia head to head,
• 9:50
  just me and her.
• 9:51
  It's a little hard to put
• 9:53
  into words because that's
• 9:55
  one thing I've expressed to
• 9:56
  Dylan is I have certain bucket listings.
• 9:58
  Like the next bucket listing
• 9:59
  would be to have the
• 10:00
  leader's jersey at the games.
• 10:02
  to do an open announcement
• 10:04
  to podium at the game.
• 10:05
  So I had all these,
• 10:06
  what I thought were
• 10:06
  ridiculous bucket lists.
• 10:09
  And it's like, God is just like, oh,
• 10:11
  you wanna do an open announcement?
• 10:12
  Cool,
• 10:12
  you get to do the best one against
• 10:13
  the best person in the
• 10:15
  history of the sport.
• 10:16
  It is just all of these things are like,
• 10:19
  how?
• 10:20
  Like, I can't even put it into words.
• 10:23
  So I remember a conversation
• 10:24
  with you where you were
• 10:26
  lining up for Elevated Elizabeth.
• 10:29
  Yep.
• 10:29
  And you asked people to get
• 10:30
  your picture with all these.
• 10:32
  Because I was in between.
• 10:35
  Yeah,
• 10:35
  I was in between Tia Toomey and Laura
• 10:38
  Horvath.
• 10:38
  I'm like,
• 10:39
  when will this ever happen again?
• 10:40
  I hope somebody gets a picture of it.
• 10:42
  Absolutely.
• 10:44
  And now, two years later,
• 10:47
  you're going head to head with.
• 10:50
  With Tia Toomey.
• 10:51
  And people are asking where
• 10:52
  it's going to be.
• 10:52
  It's at the new Proven headquarters.
• 10:55
  Okay.
• 10:55
  I wasn't sure if they
• 10:56
  released that yet or not.
• 10:58
  Yeah, they have.
• 10:59
  Well, Barbell Spin has at least.
• 11:03
  So he got the information somewhere.
• 11:07
  And so I'll just give him
• 11:08
  credit that he has released
• 11:09
  that it will be at Proven headquarters.
• 11:13
  Cool.
• 11:14
  Yeah.
• 11:14
  So now I'm going to be on her home turf.
• 11:17
  It's a win-win situation.
• 11:20
  If I lose, who cares?
• 11:22
  It's Tia.
• 11:23
  If I win,
• 11:24
  I get to go home with a golden
• 11:25
  barbell and I mean an
• 11:28
  amount of respect from, but if I lose,
• 11:31
  who cares?
• 11:31
  It's Tia, you know?
• 11:32
  So I don't have any,
• 11:34
  I think I'd be more nervous
• 11:36
  to do the first week
• 11:38
  because like like-minded
• 11:41
  people were on the same level.
• 11:42
  Whereas the last week it's like,
• 11:44
  I have nothing to lose.
• 11:45
  I could send it and do well.
• 11:46
  I could send it, do bad.
• 11:48
  It
• 11:48
  I just get the opportunity.
• 11:51
  Well,
• 11:51
  what's cool is the little bit of home
• 11:53
  turf you have is paper
• 11:55
  street coffee is in the
• 11:58
  proven headquarters.
• 12:00
  That's right.
• 12:00
  I forgot about that.
• 12:02
  So coffee.
• 12:04
  Yeah.
• 12:07
  Yeah.
• 12:07
  Your little mini crew there.
• 12:09
  I know I've actually never
• 12:10
  been to Nashville.
• 12:11
  I've only flown in and then
• 12:12
  went to Cookville last year
• 12:14
  to do like a mayhem
• 12:15
  training camp for fun.
• 12:17
  I've never been in the city
• 12:18
  of Nashville and eaten there,
• 12:20
  experienced it.
• 12:21
  So I'm excited.
• 12:22
  Dylan's been there, believe it or not.
• 12:24
  Somebody paid for him to
• 12:26
  install garage doors in Nashville.
• 12:28
  So he's driven from Midland,
• 12:30
  Texas to Nashville and
• 12:31
  installed garage doors somewhere.
• 12:34
  Downtown of course.
• 12:35
  So while we're there,
• 12:36
  he's going to show me the,
• 12:37
  he's like a dad.
• 12:38
  He's going to be like,
• 12:39
  look at the work I did.
• 12:42
  So I'm excited to see the city,
• 12:44
  a city I've never been to before.
• 12:47
  So I've been a lot.
• 12:51
  So in my region, back in the day,
• 12:53
  when I was a volunteer and a judge,
• 12:58
  all the regionals were at
• 12:59
  the Nashville Convention Center.
• 13:03
  So we would go stay in
• 13:04
  downtown Nashville and work the event.
• 13:07
  That one was usually stacked with people.
• 13:11
  It was.
• 13:12
  It was.
• 13:12
  I was so lucky to be in this region.
• 13:17
  Because I've been volunteering since 2013.
• 13:21
  So seeing the end of Rich's career,
• 13:23
  Graham Holmberg, Marcus Hendren,
• 13:27
  Dan Bailey,
• 13:28
  like all of them came up
• 13:29
  through this region.
• 13:30
  And then the women like Stacey Tovar,
• 13:33
  Christy Aramo, all of that.
• 13:36
  Right?
• 13:36
  She was in that one too, right?
• 13:38
  Yeah.
• 13:38
  Yeah.
• 13:40
  Wow.
• 13:40
  It's been a lot of fun.
• 13:42
  That is fun.
• 13:43
  So, yeah,
• 13:44
  I think you'll love it in Nashville.
• 13:47
  It's a crowded city.
• 13:48
  It's a lot of construction.
• 13:50
  But when you get to things,
• 13:51
  it's really cool.
• 13:52
  I've heard my sister went
• 13:54
  this past year and she said
• 13:55
  on the weekend,
• 13:57
  it's Bachelorette City Central.
• 13:59
  Everybody's in white boots.
• 14:00
  And she's like,
• 14:01
  you'll know the crowds
• 14:02
  because of their white boots.
• 14:05
  So funny story.
• 14:07
  The last year we had regionals,
• 14:10
  I went with a friend who
• 14:11
  got sick at regionals and
• 14:14
  had to be taken by
• 14:15
  ambulance from the
• 14:16
  convention center to the hospital.
• 14:18
  And I had to go with him.
• 14:20
  The ambulance driver was
• 14:21
  chit-chatting with me and
• 14:22
  telling me that the night
• 14:23
  before he had to go to a
• 14:25
  bachelorette party.
• 14:27
  They have like John Deere
• 14:28
  tractors taking hay wagons
• 14:32
  around downtown Nashville
• 14:34
  with bachelorettes on it.
• 14:35
  It wrecked.
• 14:37
  So they were all drunk and
• 14:39
  they were all from
• 14:39
  Louisiana and he couldn't
• 14:41
  understand anything they
• 14:43
  were saying because they
• 14:44
  were drunk and had a Cajun accent.
• 14:46
  That's hilarious.
• 14:49
  mean not in the moment I'm
• 14:50
  sure but that's the bunny
• 14:52
  yeah so um it is it is
• 14:55
  bachelor at central uh and
• 14:56
  that was really funny but
• 14:58
  um so yeah so you get to do
• 15:00
  that and the opportunity
• 15:03
  for this golden barbell
• 15:03
  super cool too that they're
• 15:05
  actually putting a
• 15:06
  significance on winning
• 15:08
  these events and you know
• 15:09
  me I'm a sucker for
• 15:11
  anything I could put in my garage
• 15:14
  The golden barbell.
• 15:15
  I was like,
• 15:16
  I know exactly where I want to
• 15:18
  put it in the home gym.
• 15:21
  So honestly, as goofy as it is,
• 15:23
  I would rather go home with
• 15:26
  the golden barbell.
• 15:28
  Like I'd have more pride
• 15:29
  with that barbell than I
• 15:29
  would have beating Tia
• 15:31
  because I'd get to look at it every day,
• 15:34
  right in the center of the
• 15:35
  wall of the gym.
• 15:36
  But we'll see.
• 15:37
  I'll have to think about
• 15:38
  that barbell when I'm mid
• 15:39
  pain cave and dying.
• 15:41
  So last,
• 15:42
  last I heard you had not hung the
• 15:44
  metal yet.
• 15:47
  No,
• 15:47
  we actually have it actually beautiful
• 15:49
  on display.
• 15:50
  Do you want to see it?
• 15:50
  Okay.
• 15:52
  Kind of beautiful on display.
• 15:53
  We'll see.
• 15:55
  We'll let you guys decide.
• 15:56
  We have like a shrine wall.
• 16:00
  This is a plate.
• 16:01
  When we first went to the games,
• 16:03
  we had all the athletes
• 16:04
  sign road belt buckles.
• 16:06
  They give us every year.
• 16:08
  My favorite picture.
• 16:09
  And then this is just where
• 16:11
  all the good stuff is.
• 16:12
  The flag I wore at the games.
• 16:15
  Elevating to Elizabeth.
• 16:16
  Then I have just the third
• 16:17
  place medal here.
• 16:18
  This is third place from semifinals.
• 16:21
  But we don't really have
• 16:22
  anywhere special we want to hang it.
• 16:24
  Now I have so much good stuff.
• 16:26
  I'm like, I don't know where to put this.
• 16:27
  But I do have on our dining table.
• 16:30
  I feel like it fits perfect.
• 16:33
  If y'all can see it.
• 16:34
  The third place belt.
• 16:36
  That's where it belongs.
• 16:37
  With the lion in the middle?
• 16:38
  Yeah, with the lion.
• 16:45
  your house is gorgeous by
• 16:46
  the way thank you you guys
• 16:48
  did such a good job thank
• 16:50
  you we love it as you can
• 16:52
  imagine but now the next
• 16:54
  thing have you seen the
• 16:54
  next thing the new gym yes
• 16:59
  the shop yeah I have that
• 17:00
  to get to yeah um yeah yeah
• 17:05
  we'll get to that but the
• 17:07
  metal has not been hung up
• 17:08
  yet but it has a place
• 17:11
  Would you ever do like a
• 17:12
  shadow box with maybe like a jersey?
• 17:14
  I need to.
• 17:16
  They gave me a third place
• 17:17
  that I wore on the podium.
• 17:19
  I think it'd be perfect to
• 17:20
  have that with the metal.
• 17:24
  Yeah.
• 17:24
  Yeah.
• 17:25
  I've seen a lot of those.
• 17:27
  I have too.
• 17:28
  That's something I would
• 17:29
  love to give to my mom and say like,
• 17:31
  thank you.
• 17:31
  I want this for Christmas.
• 17:32
  And then she could handle it.
• 17:34
  Maybe for Christmas,
• 17:34
  I'll get that shadow box.
• 17:36
  There you go.
• 17:38
  Yeah.
• 17:41
  So Judy reads asking, sorry, my mouse is,
• 17:46
  there we go.
• 17:48
  I thought Dylan wasn't
• 17:49
  letting her hang anything
• 17:50
  else in the garage.
• 17:52
  He will let me hang that.
• 17:53
  I'll make that clear.
• 17:54
  That is special.
• 17:57
  But I think we would do it a
• 17:58
  little bit more professional, like buy,
• 18:00
  I think Rogue sells
• 18:03
  something to set a barbell on.
• 18:04
  So we'd probably buy that.
• 18:07
  But as far as posters,
• 18:08
  like my 2023 game sign,
• 18:10
  I would love to hang up.
• 18:13
  But I think he's given up on that.
• 18:17
  That's your podium here.
• 18:18
  I would think that should
• 18:20
  take the place of one of the other ones.
• 18:23
  I agree,
• 18:24
  but I have hope knowing we're
• 18:26
  building a bigger shop.
• 18:28
  Each of those banners come double-sided,
• 18:30
  so I will get to hang up
• 18:32
  all of those in the gym.
• 18:34
  But if it was up to me, I'd have...
• 18:37
  So much more hung up on that wall.
• 18:41
  Denise Moore asks,
• 18:43
  would you actually use the
• 18:44
  golden barbell?
• 18:46
  Probably not.
• 18:47
  I do have three barbells, a men's bar,
• 18:50
  a female bar, and then a shorty bar.
• 18:53
  So I wouldn't see the need
• 18:54
  to use the gold one.
• 18:55
  I'm pretty basic.
• 18:57
  I have one bar that does everything.
• 18:59
  So I use a girl bar quite a lot.
• 19:03
  So speaking of bars,
• 19:04
  I don't know if you saw on
• 19:05
  Savan the other day,
• 19:06
  he had Katie Henniger on and Katie,
• 19:10
  he asked Katie about your bar.
• 19:12
  Oh, somebody commented, whoever commented,
• 19:15
  I need to go back and look
• 19:17
  and just send them a DM and say,
• 19:18
  thank you.
• 19:19
  She has not reached out to me.
• 19:21
  I know she's a busy lady.
• 19:22
  I don't take it personally, but I was,
• 19:25
  I wish I could have been on
• 19:26
  there because I believe she
• 19:27
  thought it was to help with
• 19:28
  the log clean and jerk.
• 19:30
  But I wanted to tell her like, no,
• 19:32
  it's for people with shoulder problems.
• 19:35
  Like my elbow was flared up.
• 19:37
  Holding a barbell in this
• 19:38
  position versus this position,
• 19:41
  like life changing.
• 19:42
  The stability it adds,
• 19:44
  like to bench press with it,
• 19:45
  all the muscles you have to engage.
• 19:47
  Like I'm sold on it.
• 19:48
  Of course I was using it.
• 19:50
  But whoever asked that,
• 19:52
  I was so thankful because I
• 19:55
  don't want to bug her.
• 19:56
  I'm not the type to slide
• 19:57
  into her DMs every week and say, hey,
• 20:00
  didn't get back to me you
• 20:01
  didn't get back to me it's
• 20:02
  like no she I respect what
• 20:03
  she does she's a busy woman
• 20:05
  but I'm also eagerly
• 20:07
  waiting well and it sounds
• 20:09
  like she's got a lot going
• 20:11
  on right now right they're
• 20:12
  moving rogue to scotland
• 20:14
  right there you know
• 20:15
  they've got the arnold this
• 20:16
  weekend here in columbus
• 20:18
  which is this massive event
• 20:20
  like bigger probably bigger
• 20:22
  than the games wow for strongman right
• 20:26
  Well, it's,
• 20:27
  it has like 150 sports all
• 20:30
  going on at the same time.
• 20:31
  Wow.
• 20:32
  They have like jujitsu, strong man,
• 20:34
  bodybuilding, um, community event.
• 20:38
  Is there the flap thing?
• 20:40
  Have you seen the flap
• 20:41
  that's going on there?
• 20:44
  Yep.
• 20:45
  Wow.
• 20:45
  Okay.
• 20:46
  So it's pretty big.
• 20:47
  So yeah, it's, um,
• 20:49
  and they're like a main sponsor for that.
• 20:51
  So, um,
• 20:54
  So yeah,
• 20:55
  it's like 70,000 people come in
• 20:58
  every day for that.
• 20:59
  Every day?
• 21:01
  Yeah.
• 21:02
  Wow.
• 21:03
  Now, anything with Rogue,
• 21:05
  like I have a few bucket list things.
• 21:07
  Rogue, of course,
• 21:08
  is one of them at the top.
• 21:09
  If I could partner with them in any way,
• 21:13
  that's another one.
• 21:15
  Yeah, they should sign you.
• 21:15
  I would love it.
• 21:19
  So my last thing on the open announcement,
• 21:23
  you know my pet peeve, right?
• 21:24
  We talked about this after
• 21:26
  the games that when people
• 21:29
  say fittest mom.
• 21:31
  Oh, yeah.
• 21:32
  And I think that that should be next.
• 21:35
  You're the third fittest
• 21:36
  woman on the planet.
• 21:40
  I just don't want that last
• 21:43
  open announcement to be all
• 21:44
  about the battle of the moms.
• 21:47
  I have a feeling, Scott,
• 21:48
  it's going to be unfortunate.
• 21:49
  Oh, I do too.
• 21:50
  I have a feeling that's the
• 21:51
  angle they're going to pull
• 21:52
  and that's the angle
• 21:53
  they're going to play.
• 21:55
  What if it sells?
• 21:55
  It sells.
• 21:56
  But I'm like you because
• 21:59
  I've gotten third fittest.
• 22:00
  I'm like, guys, I worked really hard.
• 22:03
  You don't have to use the mom card.
• 22:04
  Like, I'm just the third fittest.
• 22:07
  Yeah, I'm a mom.
• 22:08
  It's a bonus.
• 22:09
  And Tia's won six championships.
• 22:12
  Mm-hmm.
• 22:13
  Like, she's the fittest ever.
• 22:16
  Ever.
• 22:16
  Yeah.
• 22:17
  Regardless of being a mom.
• 22:19
  Yeah.
• 22:19
  It's cooler that she's a mom,
• 22:21
  but she's the fittest.
• 22:22
  Right.
• 22:25
  So the last thing about that,
• 22:27
  and then I just have a
• 22:28
  quick question about fit fest.
• 22:31
  Like,
• 22:31
  did you ever see yourself with the
• 22:33
  opportunity to travel to
• 22:35
  the UK to do CrossFit?
• 22:37
  No, all like everything paid for.
• 22:42
  We'll send you to London,
• 22:44
  you and a friend.
• 22:45
  Here's when we need you there.
• 22:47
  Like the best opportunity ever.
• 22:51
  Me and Dylan got to go
• 22:52
  sightsee in London a bit.
• 22:54
  Then we went to Birmingham
• 22:56
  and they were just so sweet.
• 22:58
  They're like,
• 22:59
  here are the workouts we have
• 23:00
  programmed for your teams.
• 23:02
  And then my team was amazing.
• 23:03
  Never did I think I'd be on team with BKG,
• 23:06
  Dallin, Pepper, Hopper,
• 23:08
  and Thurry and DB.
• 23:10
  And then they just prefaced it with like,
• 23:13
  people are paying to see you
• 23:14
  guys we brought you here
• 23:15
  for people to see you live
• 23:17
  it up for the fans and just
• 23:18
  they went above and beyond
• 23:19
  to make sure we were
• 23:21
  comfortable welcomed had
• 23:23
  food had space but yeah to
• 23:25
  think that I would say like
• 23:26
  oh I'm going to London on a
• 23:28
  work trip unheard of and
• 23:31
  during Christmas time you
• 23:32
  know me I love Christmas
• 23:34
  and London does Christmas hard yeah I um
• 23:41
  I just,
• 23:41
  I kept thinking of you talking
• 23:44
  about that first year back
• 23:48
  at the Granite Games,
• 23:49
  just wanting to sign.
• 23:50
  Yep.
• 23:51
  And how far you've come in three years.
• 23:54
  Isn't it insane?
• 23:56
  It's unfathomable.
• 23:59
  It just blows me away.
• 24:01
  Yeah, I agree.
• 24:03
  I agree,
• 24:04
  but the UK people were the
• 24:05
  sweetest hands down because
• 24:08
  they all have their sweet
• 24:09
  accents and they'd be like,
• 24:10
  can I bother you for a picture, please?
• 24:13
  Or can I please have your autograph?
• 24:15
  Like with the most utmost
• 24:16
  polite respect would ask for autographs.
• 24:19
  So even to go to Granite
• 24:21
  Games and then now I'm in
• 24:22
  London performing for
• 24:24
  CrossFit and then all these
• 24:25
  people are like,
• 24:26
  can I have your autograph?
• 24:26
  Can I have a picture with you?
• 24:27
  I'm like, man, I'm so far from home,
• 24:29
  but they make me feel so special.
• 24:32
  Yeah.
• 24:33
  Yeah.
• 24:34
  That's so cool for you.
• 24:35
  And then.
• 24:37
  Sorry to touch on that.
• 24:38
  People wanted pictures with Dylan.
• 24:40
  So that was funny to see too,
• 24:42
  that they were like, Oh,
• 24:44
  that's her husband.
• 24:44
  Get a picture with him.
• 24:47
  So let's jump to that.
• 24:49
  Yeah.
• 24:50
  He's Dylan is becoming his own celebrity.
• 24:55
  And I know you, what,
• 24:58
  how does that make you feel
• 24:59
  that you get to share all this with him?
• 25:03
  And, and even the notoriety.
• 25:05
  Yeah.
• 25:06
  I mean, you,
• 25:07
  he was on the first podcast with you ever,
• 25:09
  so you know how goofy it is.
• 25:10
  He isn't funny.
• 25:12
  I'm just thankful that
• 25:12
  people are able to see that
• 25:14
  now and they appreciate it
• 25:16
  and they love it.
• 25:18
  Like he was on,
• 25:19
  I think Siobhan had him on the other day.
• 25:21
  They talked for three hours.
• 25:25
  And I'm just like,
• 25:26
  I get it because I'm his
• 25:27
  wife and I love talking to him.
• 25:29
  But for another person kind
• 25:30
  of non-biased to just be like,
• 25:33
  what a good dude.
• 25:33
  I love talking to him was awesome.
• 25:37
  I love it because he is part
• 25:39
  of the reason of my success
• 25:41
  and people are able to see
• 25:42
  like what he brings to the table for me.
• 25:45
  Yeah.
• 25:46
  I, he's just one of the,
• 25:49
  the nicest guys ever.
• 25:51
  Like every time I see him, it's such a,
• 25:55
  and he's so genuine.
• 25:56
  He's, and he's always himself.
• 25:58
  Right.
• 25:59
  Right.
• 25:59
  He doesn't try to be,
• 26:00
  try to be anything else, but who he is.
• 26:03
  Right.
• 26:04
  And people love that.
• 26:05
  Like his goofiness.
• 26:06
  And I, I'm picking up on it.
• 26:09
  So I try to include him more
• 26:10
  like the reel I made
• 26:11
  yesterday of like my many
• 26:14
  roles as a housewife.
• 26:15
  And I'm like, Hey, he,
• 26:17
  He gave me the idea and I'm like,
• 26:18
  what if you're in it too?
• 26:19
  He was like, oh, that'd be funny.
• 26:22
  And I'm like, okay,
• 26:22
  how do you want to present yourself?
• 26:24
  And he's like, well,
• 26:25
  I think it'd be funny if I
• 26:27
  was on the toilet.
• 26:28
  And so we do a shot and he's like, no,
• 26:30
  you can still see my underwear.
• 26:31
  Let me roll it up more so it
• 26:33
  looks like I'm not wearing any underwear.
• 26:36
  So he's like full on leaning
• 26:38
  into it and I love it
• 26:39
  because it's so goofy and it's him.
• 26:43
  It is.
• 26:44
  And like that was one of the
• 26:47
  coolest reels I've seen in a long time.
• 26:51
  Thank you.
• 26:53
  Thank you.
• 26:54
  And so creative.
• 26:55
  And the fact that you get to
• 26:56
  do that together and
• 26:58
  everybody knows who Dylan
• 26:59
  is has to make it all that much better.
• 27:02
  It does.
• 27:03
  And as goofy as it is,
• 27:05
  it's building a brand of like, hey,
• 27:07
  we're a team.
• 27:08
  We win together.
• 27:09
  We live together.
• 27:10
  This is what our life looks like.
• 27:12
  On Instagram, people love that.
• 27:13
  But in real life,
• 27:14
  like that is what it is too.
• 27:16
  Like I had someone,
• 27:17
  I've been getting a lot of,
• 27:19
  the more I'm growing,
• 27:20
  the more comments you get, of course.
• 27:23
  And I had one comment like,
• 27:25
  you do everything in the house.
• 27:26
  It's 2024, like time to step up.
• 27:30
  And I was like, no, no, he works hard.
• 27:33
  He owns a business.
• 27:36
  And I get to stay home and
• 27:37
  sleep in and take care of the house.
• 27:39
  Like we have two different
• 27:40
  roles and that is okay.
• 27:45
  Uh, Amy Labarge says we love Dylan.
• 27:47
  I love his silliness and he
• 27:48
  loves you so much.
• 27:49
  He's so sweet.
• 27:50
  That is one thing I,
• 27:52
  people can see the love.
• 27:53
  And I mean, I feel the love every day.
• 27:55
  So it's super sweet.
• 27:56
  I love AB.
• 27:58
  So let's talk about the new
• 28:01
  gym because Dylan's a big part of that.
• 28:03
  Yeah.
• 28:04
  He's the head of construction.
• 28:06
  That's right.
• 28:09
  And he's getting his own
• 28:10
  office out of this.
• 28:12
  Kind of.
• 28:13
  Kind of.
• 28:14
  So I'm actually,
• 28:16
  I'm going to try and post a
• 28:17
  YouTube video over it.
• 28:18
  I've shot the stuff.
• 28:19
  I just have to edit it together.
• 28:21
  The shell of the building is
• 28:22
  done and he actually caught,
• 28:24
  he could do it himself, but you know,
• 28:26
  Dylan Scott,
• 28:27
  it would have taken two years
• 28:29
  because he's going to do it
• 28:30
  right when he has the time.
• 28:32
  So he hired it out.
• 28:32
  It got done in two weeks.
• 28:34
  ridiculously fast so the
• 28:36
  shell is done now what he
• 28:39
  actually just finished
• 28:40
  today he welded up stuff
• 28:42
  and framed out the rooms
• 28:44
  that are going to be in there
• 28:45
  So we'll say 60% is his,
• 28:49
  where he can put all of his material,
• 28:51
  his scissor lift,
• 28:52
  whatever he needs to do.
• 28:53
  Then the other, no, I'd say 40% is his,
• 28:57
  then 60% is mine.
• 28:58
  So he framed up,
• 29:00
  we'll have an office there
• 29:01
  for people to come check in.
• 29:02
  We'll have storage, we'll have a bathroom,
• 29:04
  we'll have a shower,
• 29:06
  cold plunge sauna area,
• 29:07
  and then just an open gym
• 29:09
  where we can work out in.
• 29:11
  So his job this past week or
• 29:12
  so was to frame out those rooms
• 29:17
  And then, I mean, he knows those steps,
• 29:19
  but that was step one.
• 29:21
  Step two is we're in works with trying to,
• 29:24
  to like email back and
• 29:25
  forth with rogue about
• 29:26
  potentially getting a custom rig.
• 29:28
  So the next step would be to get that in,
• 29:31
  put that up and get
• 29:32
  flooring and all that.
• 29:33
  Yeah.
• 29:36
  So, so his business does get 40%.
• 29:40
  Yes.
• 29:40
  And he absolutely needs it.
• 29:42
  If I showed you, we have three car garage.
• 29:45
  One is the gym.
• 29:46
  You guys know that one is
• 29:48
  where my car parks.
• 29:49
  And then the other is where
• 29:50
  he stores all of his garage doors.
• 29:53
  And there would be days it
• 29:55
  would be piled to the
• 29:56
  ceiling and he would come in angry.
• 29:59
  Like he never cusses,
• 30:01
  but he would just come in and like,
• 30:03
  I'm trying to run a
• 30:04
  business and I can't even
• 30:05
  store any of my stuff.
• 30:07
  How am I supposed to be successful?
• 30:08
  So he'd have a stack of garage doors.
• 30:11
  And then of course the
• 30:11
  garage door he needed was on the bottom.
• 30:13
  So we had to move all of
• 30:14
  these to get this one out
• 30:16
  and then install it.
• 30:17
  And so now when he first put
• 30:20
  his garage doors in the back shop,
• 30:22
  he looked like a little kid
• 30:24
  on Christmas morning.
• 30:26
  He was just like,
• 30:27
  I officially feel like a business owner.
• 30:30
  And I can store stuff and
• 30:32
  have space to walk and move
• 30:34
  and put my trailer in.
• 30:36
  He was very nice to make it bigger for me,
• 30:38
  but let's be very clear,
• 30:39
  the shop is for him.
• 30:41
  So the fact that he was like,
• 30:42
  you can have a little bit,
• 30:43
  we'll make it a little bit bigger for you,
• 30:45
  was very nice of him.
• 30:46
  But I think he's secretly
• 30:47
  really excited for it.
• 30:50
  Well, he has to be right.
• 30:53
  It makes his life better,
• 30:55
  but it's shared success in
• 30:58
  your accomplishments in the
• 30:59
  CrossFit world that made that a reality.
• 31:02
  Right.
• 31:03
  Absolutely.
• 31:05
  And you couldn't do it without him.
• 31:07
  He couldn't do it without you.
• 31:09
  And that's what makes it so cool.
• 31:10
  Yeah.
• 31:11
  And what's also nice too,
• 31:12
  is we own the land.
• 31:13
  We own the building.
• 31:15
  Eventually when I retire,
• 31:17
  obviously that will be my
• 31:19
  main source of income to
• 31:20
  like help contribute to the family.
• 31:22
  So we don't have to worry
• 31:22
  about paying rent on a facility,
• 31:26
  having max amount of
• 31:27
  members so we can afford
• 31:29
  our landlord payment.
• 31:31
  Like we own the building.
• 31:32
  If we want to make it profitable, awesome.
• 31:35
  When we're ready to transition,
• 31:36
  it'll be there waiting for us.
• 31:38
  If not, no worries.
• 31:40
  So Denise asks,
• 31:42
  how many roll-up doors will
• 31:43
  there be in the new gym?
• 31:45
  So there's two different
• 31:46
  types of garage doors.
• 31:47
  One's a roll-up door where
• 31:49
  it literally rolls up.
• 31:50
  And then one's like the flat
• 31:51
  door you see on a house.
• 31:52
  We don't have any roll-up doors,
• 31:54
  but we do have two glass garage doors,
• 31:57
  of course, in the gym.
• 31:58
  And then Dylan on his side
• 32:00
  has the best of the best
• 32:02
  beautiful black garage door.
• 32:04
  So it'll be two.
• 32:05
  It'll be two.
• 32:08
  And I heard you say on Savant,
• 32:09
  I think it was that your
• 32:11
  plan is to still work out
• 32:13
  in your garage most of the time.
• 32:15
  Yeah.
• 32:16
  This is a separate thing.
• 32:18
  Yeah, this is a separate thing.
• 32:20
  And I don't know if I'm
• 32:20
  ready to let go of my garage yet.
• 32:22
  The garage is very special
• 32:25
  because of what happened last year.
• 32:27
  And it's also connected to the house.
• 32:29
  So if Blakely's inside,
• 32:30
  like today she needed me,
• 32:31
  she just walks out there and grabs me.
• 32:33
  I I'm not comfortable leaving her inside.
• 32:37
  and I'm, let's say, 50 feet back there.
• 32:40
  She'd have to open the door,
• 32:42
  put on her shoes, run back to the shop.
• 32:45
  My mama heart isn't ready for that yet.
• 32:50
  And that's perfectly fine
• 32:51
  because it works.
• 32:54
  It works, exactly.
• 32:57
  It will be awesome come quarterfinals.
• 33:01
  I don't believe it'll be done, but
• 33:03
  that I could have the space
• 33:04
  to do a rope climb and
• 33:06
  handstand walk and not have
• 33:07
  to go to a different gym.
• 33:09
  That I will definitely
• 33:11
  accept with open arms.
• 33:14
  So I heard you say that
• 33:16
  because of the cold plunge
• 33:19
  and the sauna and all the
• 33:20
  stuff that you're adding in,
• 33:21
  this is going to be like a
• 33:22
  high-end CrossFit gym,
• 33:24
  like a premier place to be.
• 33:27
  Yeah,
• 33:27
  we're only going to accept 50 people.
• 33:32
  because we only want 10
• 33:34
  people per class to make it special.
• 33:37
  Like I don't want to have a
• 33:39
  gym where people can't even
• 33:41
  do back squats because
• 33:42
  there's so many people that
• 33:44
  there's no room.
• 33:45
  We want it to feel small.
• 33:46
  We want it to feel
• 33:48
  intentional with our training,
• 33:50
  with our space for our members.
• 33:52
  So like we're going to
• 33:52
  accept 50 people and then
• 33:55
  we'll have a wait list and
• 33:57
  if people want to get in.
• 34:00
  So I heard Siobhan give you
• 34:01
  a bunch of suggestions on
• 34:02
  what you should do with this.
• 34:03
  And I just have one myself.
• 34:06
  Yeah, do it.
• 34:07
  I think that you should
• 34:09
  model the train with Rich
• 34:12
  and have weekends where
• 34:14
  people can come see how you do it.
• 34:18
  Yeah.
• 34:18
  And do it with you.
• 34:20
  Right.
• 34:21
  Not like a class type workout,
• 34:24
  but this is how Ariel does it.
• 34:27
  And you can,
• 34:28
  you can come along for the
• 34:29
  ride on this weekend.
• 34:30
  I think that's a great idea.
• 34:34
  My only hesitancy is, you know, me,
• 34:36
  I would be like,
• 34:36
  would people even sign up?
• 34:38
  Would they care?
• 34:40
  But I think it would be great.
• 34:41
  And what I've noticed train
• 34:42
  with Rich that he always
• 34:44
  does is they work out and
• 34:45
  then he feeds them when
• 34:47
  it's all over some Saturday.
• 34:48
  And I love that idea because
• 34:51
  I'm big on hospitality.
• 34:53
  Yeah.
• 34:54
  I think it's right up your
• 34:55
  alley as like a host.
• 34:59
  And it also gives people
• 35:01
  like Judy who said, yes,
• 35:03
  my husband already said
• 35:04
  he'd send me to a train with Ariel.
• 35:06
  That'd be awesome.
• 35:07
  So I already have one person,
• 35:08
  so I can't say nobody would come.
• 35:11
  Right.
• 35:12
  I know you have one.
• 35:12
  I have one.
• 35:14
  How cool is that?
• 35:15
  We do want to do a soft opening.
• 35:17
  So ideally we would love to
• 35:20
  have it done come June and July.
• 35:22
  So like Ricky Gerard,
• 35:24
  we've already had a
• 35:25
  conversation with him.
• 35:26
  Hey,
• 35:26
  you want to come acclimate to the
• 35:27
  Texas heat?
• 35:28
  Nobody will be in there but me.
• 35:32
  It's your own space.
• 35:33
  We'd love to have a soft
• 35:34
  opening and give it some
• 35:35
  respect and be like, hey,
• 35:38
  this will open up in September.
• 35:40
  But right now,
• 35:41
  Ricky Gerard is in here training.
• 35:43
  This will open up in
• 35:43
  September for you guys to sign up.
• 35:45
  But right now,
• 35:46
  Spiegel said she wanted to
• 35:47
  come acclimate to the Texas Heat.
• 35:49
  So I think it'd be super cool.
• 35:50
  So we're kind of hoping it's
• 35:52
  done so we can welcome all
• 35:54
  the games athletes with
• 35:55
  open arms to train and
• 35:58
  acclimate to Texas in the back home gym.
• 36:02
  And that was really my next question is,
• 36:04
  in addition to the train with Ariel,
• 36:07
  would you have a train with
• 36:08
  Ariel with other games
• 36:09
  athletes leading up to a competition?
• 36:12
  That'd be awesome.
• 36:13
  It would just be if they're on board.
• 36:15
  I would hate to be like, Spiegel,
• 36:17
  I know you've never come before,
• 36:18
  but let me take advantage
• 36:19
  of you and charge all these
• 36:21
  people money to see you.
• 36:23
  So it would just be if the
• 36:24
  other person is open to it.
• 36:26
  Because I would never want
• 36:27
  to lose a friendship over...
• 36:31
  using them.
• 36:33
  Yeah.
• 36:34
  Um, yeah, I think that,
• 36:36
  I think it's super cool and,
• 36:38
  and I'm excited for both
• 36:39
  you and Dylan that you get to do that.
• 36:41
  Exactly.
• 36:42
  That we get to do it.
• 36:43
  That's a great way to put it.
• 36:44
  It's,
• 36:44
  it doesn't feel like a burden right now.
• 36:46
  It feels like this is cool.
• 36:49
  Well, and you are an OG.
• 36:52
  You have a history of not
• 36:54
  just being a games athlete,
• 36:56
  but being a regional
• 36:57
  athlete and fighting that
• 36:58
  fight and the struggle.
• 37:00
  And I think you have a lot
• 37:01
  to bring to the table for
• 37:04
  other athletes who go through that.
• 37:07
  Thank you.
• 37:07
  And I appreciate that
• 37:09
  because my approach is different.
• 37:10
  So I do feel like I have
• 37:11
  something different to
• 37:12
  offer than Proven or HWPO
• 37:15
  because I'm training two hours a day.
• 37:17
  Gabe's training might be three hours a day,
• 37:19
  but that's nothing compared
• 37:21
  to what the norm is for the
• 37:23
  people in the CrossFit space.
• 37:26
  Yeah.
• 37:28
  So, Denise,
• 37:28
  I don't know if you know who that is.
• 37:30
  She just won Legends in the 65+.
• 37:34
  Wow.
• 37:35
  Congratulations.
• 37:36
  And so she goes,
• 37:36
  how about Masters going to
• 37:38
  Birmingham trying to
• 37:39
  acclimate to the heat?
• 37:41
  Oh, okay.
• 37:42
  That's a good idea.
• 37:43
  And that would be in August.
• 37:46
  So I would be done with my season.
• 37:48
  Yeah.
• 37:49
  They, they go Labor Day weekend.
• 37:51
  Man, that would be great.
• 37:53
  A whole different.
• 37:55
  See,
• 37:55
  I don't even think about them because
• 37:57
  I never see them.
• 37:58
  Unfortunately.
• 37:59
  Open it up to pastors.
• 38:02
  Yeah.
• 38:02
  Cause I think she's Northern California.
• 38:05
  So it's going to be,
• 38:06
  it would be a whole different,
• 38:07
  different heat.
• 38:08
  Yeah.
• 38:10
  Yeah.
• 38:11
  So there's that too.
• 38:13
  That is good.
• 38:14
  Got all these things on my mind.
• 38:17
  So the next thing I wanted
• 38:17
  to talk about is, and again,
• 38:20
  with you being an OG.
• 38:21
  Thank you.
• 38:22
  There is a behind the scenes
• 38:24
  that comes out that we have
• 38:26
  missed for five years.
• 38:29
  And so you never got to be a
• 38:30
  part of behind the scenes,
• 38:31
  which was a staple in the
• 38:34
  teens when you were trying
• 38:36
  to make the games.
• 38:37
  Right.
• 38:37
  Now it comes back.
• 38:40
  And you are the star.
• 38:42
  You are one of the stars.
• 38:44
  In the Savan one?
• 38:47
  Yeah.
• 38:48
  That's funny because we
• 38:49
  watched all of them.
• 38:50
  I subscribed so we could watch them early.
• 38:52
  And I told Dylan when it finished,
• 38:54
  I was like, man,
• 38:55
  there's so much they missed
• 38:56
  out on because I feel like
• 38:58
  we were barely in at me and Dylan.
• 39:00
  But so much happened that
• 39:02
  was not in the behind the
• 39:03
  scenes to where I had the opposite thing.
• 39:06
  I was like, man, they missed out.
• 39:08
  Like Dylan wore the same
• 39:09
  shorts all weekend because
• 39:11
  they were his good luck
• 39:12
  shorts and he's
• 39:13
  superstitious and he's a baseballer.
• 39:15
  Like so many things that I'm like,
• 39:16
  if they would have followed
• 39:17
  us a hair more,
• 39:19
  there was so many little
• 39:20
  funny things that happened.
• 39:22
  But it's not all about me.
• 39:23
  I can't have a camera crew
• 39:25
  following me all weekend.
• 39:28
  So yeah, I felt like,
• 39:34
  and this is not being
• 39:35
  critical of Sivan because I
• 39:36
  think it's natural in
• 39:38
  filmmaking and he didn't do the editing.
• 39:41
  So other people did the editing.
• 39:43
  I thought by the end of the series,
• 39:46
  it focused on the same athletes.
• 39:48
  Right.
• 39:49
  Because the story kind of
• 39:50
  lent itself to that, right?
• 39:52
  Yeah.
• 39:53
  Here's you coming pretty
• 39:55
  much out of nowhere,
• 39:56
  never top 10 finisher,
• 39:58
  and you're going to podium.
• 39:59
  So you get more camera time
• 40:00
  towards the end.
• 40:02
  Right.
• 40:02
  Alex getting more.
• 40:03
  Yeah.
• 40:04
  Because she comes from 20th to fourth,
• 40:05
  fifth.
• 40:11
  Um, and then, and then of course,
• 40:14
  Pat Velner, um, Jeff Adler, Roman,
• 40:18
  all that kind of stuff.
• 40:19
  So it,
• 40:20
  it lent itself to kind of narrow
• 40:21
  down to that kind of top group.
• 40:24
  Um,
• 40:25
  i wanted more of everybody
• 40:26
  but but but it's it's a
• 40:28
  long week and you're you're
• 40:31
  you're editing it down to
• 40:33
  our episodes yeah and it's
• 40:35
  40 men and 40 women you
• 40:38
  talk to each of them for
• 40:39
  five minutes like you can't
• 40:41
  even do that yeah so uh
• 40:46
  braylon tender says uh did
• 40:48
  he sell their shorts at the
• 40:49
  end of the weekend
• 40:50
  He should.
• 40:51
  No, honestly,
• 40:53
  when we come back from the games,
• 40:54
  the laundry is astronomical.
• 40:57
  Cause I'm not one of those
• 40:57
  people that pays $50 for
• 40:59
  them to wash two things at the hotel.
• 41:02
  So they got washed with
• 41:04
  everything else that was in a pile.
• 41:06
  But I just thought that was
• 41:07
  so funny because I didn't
• 41:08
  even know Dylan was superstitious,
• 41:11
  but it got to where like
• 41:12
  day three came and I was like,
• 41:14
  why is there chalk on your shorts?
• 41:15
  And we just started the day.
• 41:17
  What have you been doing?
• 41:18
  And then he's like, don't worry about it.
• 41:20
  And then by the end of the day, I was like,
• 41:21
  oh, okay.
• 41:23
  I know these shorts.
• 41:24
  He's like, yeah,
• 41:24
  they're my good luck charm.
• 41:25
  And I'm just like, you're so goofy.
• 41:29
  So funny.
• 41:30
  So Denise is right.
• 41:31
  I wanted a 30 episode series.
• 41:33
  Oh, that's so sweet.
• 41:35
  Yeah.
• 41:36
  And I did my own that I'm
• 41:38
  still working on with just four people.
• 41:41
  And even cutting that down
• 41:43
  is like really hard.
• 41:44
  I believe it.
• 41:45
  There's so much stuff.
• 41:48
  So yeah.
• 41:49
  Um, so,
• 41:53
  so there's that Dylan is a star in
• 41:55
  it just as much as you are.
• 41:57
  He probably got as much
• 41:59
  FaceTime as you did,
• 42:00
  which I thought was super cool.
• 42:02
  Yeah.
• 42:03
  Um,
• 42:03
  My favorite part from that,
• 42:05
  for those who have seen it,
• 42:07
  was I think it was before
• 42:08
  the intervals workout and
• 42:10
  all the coaches were giving
• 42:12
  strategies of like,
• 42:13
  go over the burpee like this,
• 42:15
  now go faster, now turn.
• 42:17
  And then they panned to me and Dylan,
• 42:18
  and I'm like, Dylan,
• 42:18
  don't eat my fruit snacks.
• 42:21
  You know, it's just like,
• 42:22
  that was just us and that's how we are.
• 42:24
  We don't need strategy.
• 42:25
  We just want to like have fun.
• 42:28
  And I'm like, okay, good.
• 42:29
  They got a little taste of our, okay,
• 42:32
  we're about to step on the floor.
• 42:33
  What does Aaron and Dylan say?
• 42:34
  Like leave my snacks alone.
• 42:37
  Well,
• 42:37
  and his response was last year I got
• 42:39
  in trouble for that.
• 42:40
  Yeah.
• 42:41
  Yeah, exactly.
• 42:43
  Last year he,
• 42:45
  I stepped off the floor and I was like,
• 42:46
  man, I'm not hungry.
• 42:47
  I'm not going to eat that right now.
• 42:48
  And he heard it as I don't want the food.
• 42:51
  So he ate it.
• 42:51
  And then five minutes later I was like,
• 42:53
  okay, I'm ready for my food.
• 42:54
  And then he had eaten it.
• 42:55
  And I was like,
• 42:56
  Okay, let's have a talk.
• 42:59
  You cannot eat my food.
• 43:05
  So I also noticed you have
• 43:07
  these little fruit snack
• 43:09
  pouches with you.
• 43:11
  And sometimes you're on the floor.
• 43:14
  Where do you hide those?
• 43:16
  I make sure.
• 43:17
  This is one thing I've told Dylan.
• 43:18
  That's his job.
• 43:19
  When I finish my workout...
• 43:21
  He's there and I'm like,
• 43:22
  I want my fruit snacks and a Gatorade.
• 43:24
  And so like,
• 43:24
  I'll literally hug him at
• 43:26
  North Park and he'll hand
• 43:27
  me these things.
• 43:29
  And I'll tell you this,
• 43:29
  I don't eat fruit snacks.
• 43:31
  I only eat them at
• 43:32
  competition because I need
• 43:33
  the quick sugars to recover
• 43:35
  and get stuff in my system.
• 43:37
  So when it's game time, his job is,
• 43:40
  as soon as you see me,
• 43:42
  even if I don't want it,
• 43:42
  just make me eat some food,
• 43:44
  get it in my system to
• 43:45
  start the recovery.
• 43:46
  Which that was new this year.
• 43:48
  And it played a big
• 43:49
  difference because I never
• 43:51
  had that moment of like, wow,
• 43:54
  I am exhausted.
• 43:55
  I'm dead.
• 43:56
  I'm fatigued.
• 43:56
  Like I felt pretty good all weekend.
• 44:00
  So at the end of the behind the scenes,
• 44:02
  there's, I think, Spencer Pancheck.
• 44:05
  I can't remember who he's
• 44:05
  sitting with on the steps
• 44:07
  underneath the Coliseum.
• 44:10
  And I think they're asking,
• 44:13
  can we get you some food?
• 44:14
  Siobhan's asking,
• 44:15
  can we get you some food?
• 44:15
  Yeah.
• 44:17
  It's over, and I don't have to fuel.
• 44:19
  And I'm so glad I don't have to fuel.
• 44:22
  Do you get that feeling at
• 44:24
  the end of the weekend?
• 44:24
  Like,
• 44:25
  I don't want to force eat anything
• 44:27
  anymore?
• 44:28
  No.
• 44:31
  Competition weekend is
• 44:32
  really fun for me because I love eating.
• 44:35
  So for me,
• 44:36
  it's like as bad as I want to
• 44:37
  say food guilt,
• 44:38
  the food guilt goes out the
• 44:40
  window and it's like, just eat anything.
• 44:42
  The thing I do enjoy when
• 44:44
  the games is over is that's
• 44:45
  usually when I'll introduce
• 44:46
  more greasy foods,
• 44:47
  like a burger or pizza.
• 44:49
  So I know by the end of the night,
• 44:51
  I have that to look forward to,
• 44:53
  but I mean,
• 44:54
  I will eat and I will always eat.
• 44:56
  So for me, it's not a,
• 44:58
  gross if I was eating
• 45:00
  chicken and rice absolutely
• 45:02
  like I see some athletes
• 45:03
  like Bukowski was eating
• 45:04
  that but I know myself if
• 45:06
  you tell me to eat that
• 45:07
  competition not a chance
• 45:10
  I'm touching it I need good
• 45:12
  food so I'm eating yummy
• 45:14
  food all weekend but like a
• 45:18
  normal Wednesday afternoon
• 45:19
  yeah I'll eat chicken and
• 45:20
  rice every day but
• 45:21
  competing you have to eat
• 45:23
  food that tastes good
• 45:24
  for me.
• 45:25
  So did you learn anything
• 45:27
  about yourself this year in
• 45:29
  your podium finish that was
• 45:31
  different than other years
• 45:33
  that you'll take forward?
• 45:34
  Or did you just have that
• 45:37
  great year last year?
• 45:38
  I had a great year last year.
• 45:41
  So I learned who I need in
• 45:43
  my corner and who I don't.
• 45:45
  I learned my trading partner, Joelle is,
• 45:48
  uh, invaluable is valuable and
• 45:51
  I don't know the right word
• 45:52
  I'm trying to say,
• 45:52
  but I need Joelle to show
• 45:54
  up every day and help me.
• 45:55
  I need my strength coach.
• 45:56
  His name is Brian and I need my husband.
• 46:00
  I need three people.
• 46:01
  That's all I had last year.
• 46:02
  And I knew each workout,
• 46:06
  my mental game changed a lot.
• 46:09
  I knew each workout.
• 46:10
  If I did my best,
• 46:12
  I could get a top 10 finish at the games.
• 46:14
  Some events I didn't do my best,
• 46:16
  like on the handstand walk one,
• 46:17
  I fell and I mean,
• 46:19
  Stuff that wasn't great.
• 46:21
  But I had a mental shift of like,
• 46:23
  I know if I give it my all,
• 46:25
  I've done the work preparing for this.
• 46:27
  Like I'm very confident in
• 46:28
  what my strength coach gave me.
• 46:30
  Very confident in the cardio
• 46:31
  pieces I've been programming.
• 46:33
  It was the first time I had
• 46:34
  the mental shift of I am so prepared.
• 46:36
  I know if I give my effort,
• 46:39
  it'll be a good finish.
• 46:42
  what, what blows me away.
• 46:43
  And I, and I've said this to you before,
• 46:44
  when, when I'm,
• 46:46
  when I'm talking to you at
• 46:47
  an event like this year,
• 46:50
  you were so at ease at everything,
• 46:53
  semifinals games.
• 46:56
  You just,
• 46:57
  you had this piece about you that
• 47:00
  was so cool to see in person.
• 47:03
  Thank you.
• 47:05
  And I,
• 47:06
  Like I told you,
• 47:07
  one of my favorite moments
• 47:08
  was from the West semis and
• 47:11
  you just leaning on the
• 47:12
  barrier and us having a chat, no cameras,
• 47:15
  no mics,
• 47:16
  just having a chat after one of
• 47:18
  the events.
• 47:19
  And you were so at ease.
• 47:21
  I had peace this year.
• 47:25
  Well,
• 47:25
  there's a whole bunch of things that
• 47:26
  went into it.
• 47:27
  It's hard to just put it in one word,
• 47:29
  but I worked on my inner
• 47:30
  strength as well as my
• 47:32
  outer strength this year.
• 47:33
  And I'm not talking inner
• 47:34
  strength like meditating, visualizing.
• 47:38
  I'm talking like while I'm
• 47:39
  doing my strength training,
• 47:40
  I'm listening to worship music.
• 47:42
  So regardless what happens on the floor,
• 47:44
  I have peace about who I am
• 47:46
  and who I'm made to be.
• 47:48
  So it's stuff like that
• 47:49
  where it's like if I don't
• 47:50
  qualify for the games, my life goes on.
• 47:54
  But I've prepared enough and
• 47:55
  I've trained hard enough
• 47:57
  that I have peace knowing
• 47:58
  that I've done all I can to
• 48:00
  just leave it out there on the floor.
• 48:02
  hard to put into words but
• 48:03
  this year was so special
• 48:04
  because everything was new
• 48:08
  in my mental training my
• 48:09
  out my strength coach
• 48:11
  joelle and I got third
• 48:13
  place so like all of the
• 48:15
  unknowns it's like it
• 48:16
  worked and I'm very
• 48:18
  confident in all the changes I made
• 48:22
  So the last thing I'm going to ask you,
• 48:24
  and I think I know the answer,
• 48:26
  there were an unprecedented
• 48:27
  amount of cameras at the games,
• 48:30
  like in the warm-up area.
• 48:33
  Did any of that affect you,
• 48:34
  or were you just as at
• 48:36
  peace as when I saw you at
• 48:39
  different moments during the season?
• 48:43
  I honestly felt like there
• 48:45
  weren't that many.
• 48:46
  As weird as that is,
• 48:47
  I never felt like they made
• 48:50
  an effort to come up and talk to me.
• 48:53
  Only a handful of occasions.
• 48:55
  I tried if I saw them to
• 48:56
  make an effort to talk to
• 48:57
  them just to be like super
• 48:59
  selfish to get my name out
• 49:01
  there and grow the brand.
• 49:03
  But I've never been
• 49:04
  overwhelmed with people
• 49:05
  wanting to film me.
• 49:06
  I'll put it that way.
• 49:07
  I kind of always feel like
• 49:08
  the underdog who will go
• 49:10
  out there and work hard.
• 49:11
  And if I do good in an event,
• 49:13
  Guess what?
• 49:13
  There's cameras there and
• 49:14
  they magically want to talk to me.
• 49:16
  But I'm like, guys,
• 49:16
  I've been here all week.
• 49:18
  Do you randomly want to fill
• 49:20
  me the final day when I'm in third place?
• 49:23
  So no, I didn't feel overwhelmed.
• 49:24
  And I honestly like that
• 49:26
  stuff because me and Dylan
• 49:27
  do have a different approach.
• 49:29
  And I like to show people that like,
• 49:30
  it's not all serious.
• 49:31
  It's not all stressful.
• 49:34
  You can have fun and do this stuff.
• 49:37
  Yeah, and I love that.
• 49:38
  It's fun.
• 49:39
  We'll see.
• 49:40
  This year might be different.
• 49:41
  Now that I got third, I might be like,
• 49:43
  recall this conversation.
• 49:44
  Be like, get the cameras away.
• 49:46
  I cannot imagine that for you.
• 49:50
  But here's something really interesting,
• 49:51
  Scott.
• 49:53
  The Monday before the game,
• 49:55
  so we have check-in Monday
• 49:56
  where they give us all of our gear.
• 49:57
  The game started on, was it Thursday?
• 50:00
  Wednesday?
• 50:01
  Wednesday.
• 50:02
  Monday, they actually, CrossFit themselves,
• 50:05
  pulled me aside for about a
• 50:06
  45-minute interview.
• 50:09
  Just me and the camera
• 50:10
  talking before the games even started.
• 50:12
  And it's, oh, it's gold.
• 50:14
  Dylan was there too.
• 50:16
  I'm talking about what
• 50:17
  changed in my season,
• 50:18
  how expectant I am that
• 50:19
  this is going to be a good games.
• 50:21
  And I got emotional like 20 times,
• 50:24
  told what I changed this past year.
• 50:26
  So CrossFit has this
• 50:27
  interview of me somewhere
• 50:29
  Monday before the game
• 50:30
  started of me saying,
• 50:33
  basically being a baby
• 50:34
  crying about like how great
• 50:36
  this year was and how
• 50:37
  thankful I am and how great
• 50:38
  this game is going to be.
• 50:39
  And then I go on to have the
• 50:40
  best games of my career.
• 50:42
  I don't know where this footage is,
• 50:43
  but they did make a point
• 50:45
  to pull me aside and have a
• 50:46
  one-on-one conversation with me.
• 50:48
  That was after I saw you and
• 50:49
  you were uploading Emily's documentary.
• 50:51
  Do you remember that?
• 50:53
  I do.
• 50:54
  So somewhere out there,
• 50:55
  there's this amazing video
• 50:58
  that I would personally
• 50:58
  love to put on my YouTube,
• 51:00
  but I don't know who to reach out to.
• 51:03
  So I think what I was told
• 51:07
  is there was a third party
• 51:08
  documentary crew on site
• 51:12
  that CrossFit hired.
• 51:15
  They're putting together
• 51:16
  some kind of documentary.
• 51:18
  It's supposed to be
• 51:19
  different than what they've
• 51:20
  done in the past because
• 51:21
  they hired someone from outside.
• 51:23
  Interesting.
• 51:24
  That has not released.
• 51:26
  I've not heard anything else
• 51:28
  about it since the games.
• 51:30
  Interesting.
• 51:31
  So you think there's still hope for it?
• 51:34
  I do.
• 51:35
  My guess is if it's on pace
• 51:38
  with like the other documentaries,
• 51:40
  it wouldn't come out until
• 51:42
  later in the season.
• 51:44
  Which is interesting because
• 51:45
  my thoughts were always
• 51:46
  that they did those after
• 51:48
  the podium so you could
• 51:49
  like walk through each event.
• 51:51
  But this was Monday before.
• 51:54
  Yeah.
• 51:54
  Again, follow up after.
• 51:57
  And I just randomly expect a phone call.
• 51:59
  This was a crew that didn't
• 52:00
  even know about CrossFit.
• 52:02
  Like they brought in,
• 52:04
  like you've seen the things
• 52:05
  on Netflix with like full
• 52:07
  swing with the PGA tour.
• 52:08
  Yeah.
• 52:09
  There's a formula one thing.
• 52:12
  Like it's something like that,
• 52:13
  that they brought in a complete.
• 52:15
  I could be on Netflix.
• 52:19
  I don't know where it's planned to go.
• 52:22
  We were just told in our
• 52:24
  media intro or orientation
• 52:28
  that there was going to be
• 52:29
  a documentary crew walking
• 52:31
  around and they were third party.
• 52:34
  Interesting.
• 52:35
  So I don't know what's come
• 52:38
  of that or what will come
• 52:39
  of that because I, again,
• 52:40
  have heard nothing since
• 52:41
  that orientation.
• 52:43
  That makes me feel better, though.
• 52:44
  It's not just lost in space.
• 52:47
  It might be used.
• 52:49
  And I think that Siobhan
• 52:51
  filmed some of them doing
• 52:53
  the work during the behind the scenes.
• 52:56
  You just don't know that
• 52:57
  they're the third party documentary.
• 52:59
  It's just a guy asking questions.
• 53:02
  Yeah.
• 53:02
  Whereas you knew Siobhan,
• 53:04
  you knew Craig Ritchie, the buttery bros.
• 53:06
  Yeah.
• 53:08
  Interesting.
• 53:09
  That'd be cool.
• 53:11
  Yeah.
• 53:12
  Here's something fun.
• 53:13
  I haven't talked about fun stuff.
• 53:15
  Give me a second, Blakely.
• 53:17
  The open announcement with Tia.
• 53:18
  Yeah.
• 53:19
  The next weekend, I'm doing a competition.
• 53:23
  Me, Dylan, my husband, and Dylan's cousin.
• 53:27
  We're called the Average Bros and a Pro.
• 53:30
  It's a little local competition.
• 53:35
  It's going to be so fun
• 53:37
  because it's so different
• 53:38
  from me going from Fit Fest
• 53:39
  to the games and all that.
• 53:41
  Dylan is working on
• 53:42
  Butterfly Chester Bars.
• 53:44
  There's a workout that has
• 53:45
  20 bar muscle ups in it as a team.
• 53:48
  And we've already said like, okay,
• 53:49
  we can't do bar muscle ups.
• 53:50
  Ariel, you're doing all 20 bar muscle ups.
• 53:52
  So it'll be a very different aspect,
• 53:55
  but it's with family.
• 53:57
  So I think it'll be really fun.
• 53:59
  And I'm really hoping to get
• 54:01
  some videos of it just
• 54:02
  because like to do a
• 54:03
  partner competition with
• 54:04
  Dylan will be so fun.
• 54:07
  That would be awesome
• 54:09
  content for your YouTube channel.
• 54:11
  Okay.
• 54:11
  I agree.
• 54:12
  And so I'm going to try and I don't,
• 54:16
  I need help,
• 54:17
  but I'm going to try and just
• 54:18
  do it myself and get
• 54:19
  somebody in the crowd to
• 54:20
  film a little bit.
• 54:22
  Anytime a husband and wife
• 54:24
  are competing together,
• 54:26
  you're going to get pure
• 54:27
  gold at some point during the weekend.
• 54:29
  Yeah, I agree.
• 54:30
  And there's going to be actually,
• 54:31
  we have to max out a two
• 54:32
  rep max hang clean.
• 54:35
  And so my goal is to do the
• 54:36
  same way as Dylan.
• 54:37
  Okay.
• 54:42
  There you go.
• 54:43
  I'll keep you updated.
• 54:44
  We might have a recap where
• 54:45
  me and Dylan can come on
• 54:46
  and tell you about it.
• 54:47
  But that's the next fun
• 54:49
  thing I have on the menu.
• 54:51
  It'll be very serious with Tia,
• 54:52
  very serious with Open,
• 54:54
  and then we'll have some
• 54:55
  fun throw down here locally.
• 54:59
  Before I let you go,
• 55:00
  there's something I have to
• 55:01
  talk to you about that I
• 55:03
  saw in another podcast.
• 55:06
  It was not with you.
• 55:08
  It was with Emma Carey.
• 55:10
  Okay.
• 55:11
  On the Mayhem Athlete podcast.
• 55:13
  Really?
• 55:15
  I don't know if you've seen it.
• 55:16
  No, I have not.
• 55:17
  So in that she tells a story
• 55:21
  and she's very much like
• 55:23
  trying to find her voice as,
• 55:26
  and more than just a voice,
• 55:29
  trying to change her mental
• 55:30
  attitude to give everything to God.
• 55:33
  Okay.
• 55:34
  Okay.
• 55:35
  Okay.
• 55:36
  And a lot of this podcast is about that,
• 55:39
  like her journey to get there.
• 55:40
  Right.
• 55:43
  And she talks about the struggle of that.
• 55:46
  Yeah.
• 55:47
  She tells the story that she
• 55:50
  had always said, like, God is first,
• 55:52
  God is first.
• 55:54
  And when she was at the Granite Games,
• 55:57
  she was going into the last
• 55:58
  event in first place.
• 56:00
  And you were like in third or second.
• 56:03
  We were tied for first, believe it or not.
• 56:07
  You both are in the corral,
• 56:09
  and she says that you looked at her,
• 56:12
  and I think you told me this,
• 56:14
  so it was really cool,
• 56:15
  but you said to her, you got this.
• 56:20
  Yeah, I said, go get it.
• 56:21
  Go get it.
• 56:22
  You got this.
• 56:23
  She said that intimidated
• 56:24
  her so much that you were
• 56:27
  that nice in that moment.
• 56:30
  That's hilarious,
• 56:31
  because she's very serious.
• 56:33
  And she couldn't believe...
• 56:36
  that someone could be in a
• 56:38
  competition and be that,
• 56:42
  that open to like, this is God's plan to,
• 56:47
  to tell a competitor.
• 56:48
  Good luck.
• 56:50
  That's hilarious.
• 56:51
  No, I didn't hear that.
• 56:53
  And it went from,
• 56:54
  she was so intimidated in that moment,
• 56:57
  but now she's striving to be like you.
• 57:00
  Oh, that's so sweet.
• 57:01
  Yeah.
• 57:03
  And so I wanted to get your
• 57:04
  reaction to that because it's,
• 57:07
  it's one thing to say it,
• 57:10
  but when your actions match what you say,
• 57:12
  right.
• 57:13
  And we've, you know,
• 57:14
  we've known each other now, three years,
• 57:16
  four years now, whatever it is.
• 57:18
  And like,
• 57:19
  you've always walked the walk and
• 57:22
  it's something that I respect about you.
• 57:24
  Thank you.
• 57:25
  And so I just wanted to get
• 57:27
  your impressions from that.
• 57:28
  Um,
• 57:30
  Because it was really a
• 57:32
  testament to you and your
• 57:34
  faith and you walking the
• 57:36
  walk and how you impacted
• 57:39
  another person's life.
• 57:41
  That's huge to me because
• 57:43
  that's my goal in all of this.
• 57:45
  It's not to make the most
• 57:47
  money in the world or have
• 57:49
  the most Instagram followers.
• 57:51
  It's to see people and love people.
• 57:54
  And so for her to remember
• 57:56
  not what we did on the competition floor,
• 57:58
  but a moment where I saw her
• 58:01
  Like that's huge to me
• 58:03
  because that's what I strive to do.
• 58:05
  And there's actually an
• 58:07
  amazing lady I'm in contact
• 58:08
  with from Australia who we
• 58:10
  connected at the games who
• 58:12
  like needed to be seen and loved.
• 58:15
  And I'm still in communication with her.
• 58:16
  And those are the most
• 58:18
  powerful for me because
• 58:19
  that is my goal and that is my mission.
• 58:22
  And so to hear that is just
• 58:23
  like warms my heart more
• 58:25
  than any medal or trophy
• 58:27
  could because that's real.
• 58:33
  Sorry,
• 58:34
  I have a little dry spot in my
• 58:35
  throat all of a sudden.
• 58:37
  It's good.
• 58:38
  It's good for the camera.
• 58:45
  But it made me proud to know you.
• 58:48
  Thank you, Scott.
• 58:52
  So I'm glad I got to share that with you.
• 58:55
  And you now know it's out there.
• 58:57
  I'm glad you did too,
• 58:58
  because I didn't know that was out there.
• 59:00
  And I know I remember seeing
• 59:01
  them teasing it on Instagram,
• 59:03
  but I haven't watched it yet.
• 59:06
  It's towards the end of the episode,
• 59:08
  but it's, it's just pure gold.
• 59:10
  Thank you.
• 59:11
  Because I've known,
• 59:12
  I've known Emma since she was 16.
• 59:15
  Wow.
• 59:16
  To see like two people I've
• 59:18
  known pretty well kind of
• 59:20
  collide and have this
• 59:21
  moment is really good.
• 59:24
  That's awesome.
• 59:25
  And she, I mean, just like that,
• 59:27
  she had her time.
• 59:27
  She shined at Waterpalooza.
• 59:30
  She killed it.
• 59:33
  So I wanted to finish with a
• 59:36
  couple things.
• 59:39
  Rogue moving to Scotland.
• 59:41
  Oh my gosh.
• 59:41
  How much of that is a
• 59:43
  driving factor in you
• 59:45
  qualifying for Rogue this year?
• 59:47
  I'll say this.
• 59:49
  If I don't qualify,
• 59:50
  I will do the qualifier.
• 59:52
  I have no shame in working
• 59:54
  for a spot to go there.
• 59:56
  Like it was cool that it was in Texas,
• 59:59
  but to go to like,
• 1:00:00
  that's just legendary and
• 1:00:01
  to be the first group of
• 1:00:03
  athletes that get to go there.
• 1:00:05
  So whatever I have to do,
• 1:00:06
  if I'm healthy and able to like,
• 1:00:08
  I'll do it.
• 1:00:09
  Well, and rogue takes care of travel.
• 1:00:12
  Usually for travel,
• 1:00:14
  they take care of hotel.
• 1:00:15
  They eat.
• 1:00:17
  pay out every athlete,
• 1:00:18
  regardless if you get first or last,
• 1:00:20
  of course the pay varies,
• 1:00:21
  but it's very much not as
• 1:00:25
  big of a financial burden
• 1:00:26
  as the games is.
• 1:00:28
  Yeah.
• 1:00:29
  And what an opportunity, right?
• 1:00:32
  Would you go?
• 1:00:32
  Um, if I could afford it, I would go.
• 1:00:37
  Right.
• 1:00:37
  This is actually something hilarious.
• 1:00:39
  This past year for Christmas,
• 1:00:41
  my sister got my dad a lordship.
• 1:00:44
  So what that is in Scotland,
• 1:00:45
  you can buy like a square
• 1:00:47
  foot by a square foot of
• 1:00:49
  land and it officially
• 1:00:50
  makes you a lord in Scotland.
• 1:00:52
  So if I go,
• 1:00:54
  I'll try and find wherever my
• 1:00:55
  dad is a lordship over and
• 1:00:58
  like stand in a square and
• 1:00:59
  take a picture with it.
• 1:01:03
  That is so cool.
• 1:01:04
  And it was so funny because
• 1:01:05
  all weekend when he got it, he was like,
• 1:01:07
  you guys might not
• 1:01:08
  understand this because I'm a Lord now,
• 1:01:10
  but I was reading this book.
• 1:01:11
  I just like loved it.
• 1:01:14
  So to go to Scotland would be amazing,
• 1:01:16
  but to also like take a
• 1:01:18
  picture with that would be pretty funny.
• 1:01:20
  Would you want to go though?
• 1:01:22
  Oh, I,
• 1:01:23
  I think like the only place in the
• 1:01:26
  world I want to go more
• 1:01:28
  than some place in America is Ireland,
• 1:01:31
  Scotland.
• 1:01:32
  Hmm.
• 1:01:34
  So it's perfect.
• 1:01:36
  Yeah.
• 1:01:37
  Yeah.
• 1:01:38
  I mean, rogues just down the street.
• 1:01:40
  If I can just get them to pay for my way,
• 1:01:43
  just jump on the plane with
• 1:01:44
  Katie and Bill.
• 1:01:46
  Yeah.
• 1:01:46
  That easy.
• 1:01:48
  Yeah.
• 1:01:49
  Well, I've kept you an hour already.
• 1:01:51
  I could talk to you forever as always,
• 1:01:54
  but I respect your time and, and we'll,
• 1:01:57
  we'll save this for another day.
• 1:01:59
  Love it.
• 1:02:01
  Yeah.
• 1:02:03
  I haven't mentioned it yet,
• 1:02:04
  but I actually have a new
• 1:02:05
  role this spring.
• 1:02:07
  Blakely is in soccer and
• 1:02:09
  you're looking at the
• 1:02:10
  assistant soccer coach for her.
• 1:02:14
  wow so this is a big year
• 1:02:16
  but I mean I'll be honest
• 1:02:18
  the only thing I know about
• 1:02:19
  soccer is I went to a
• 1:02:20
  soccer game in london so I
• 1:02:22
  know nothing about soccer
• 1:02:24
  but I know how to act and
• 1:02:27
  handle five-year-olds
• 1:02:28
  because I have one so I
• 1:02:31
  have to tell you assistant
• 1:02:33
  soccer coach I have to tell
• 1:02:35

• 1:02:44
  not going to be that dad
• 1:02:45

• 1:02:46
  stands and doing all the
• 1:02:48
  stuff and you're not going
• 1:02:50

• 1:02:52
  these soccer matches so we
• 1:02:54
  go to the like the first
• 1:02:56
  match my daughter gets put

• 1:02:59
  out and she covers the ball
• 1:03:02
  and a girl kicks her oh my
• 1:03:05
  wife was a third of the way
• 1:03:07
  out onto the field
• 1:03:09
  yelling at the ref that they
• 1:03:12
  let this girl kick my daughter.
• 1:03:13
  Oh, no.
• 1:03:15
  So she was the person.
• 1:03:16
  I'm the one you were worried about.
• 1:03:18
  Yep.
• 1:03:19
  After that, you'd be like,
• 1:03:21
  we need to have a sit-down talk.
• 1:03:23
  I don't want you embarrassing me.
• 1:03:25
  Yeah.
• 1:03:26
  Don't mess with Mama Bear by
• 1:03:28
  kicking her daughter.
