What is going on, everybody?
0:37
the clydesdale media podcast
0:40
where we are starting to
0:41
interview now crossfit
0:43
games athletes so before we
0:47
get into all the questions
0:49
um wad zombie's already in
0:51
the chat hi waddy hottie
0:54
and he said it's hattie
0:55
time uh we also have
0:59
kenneth to lap in the chat
1:00
we've got holly in the chat
1:02
so good you guys could be with us
1:04
You know, I had your coach on last week,
1:07
and we kind of made a joke
1:09
about nobody knew.
1:11
I know.
1:12
That was the funniest part
1:13
where you kept saying, nobody knew,
1:15
nobody knew.
1:16
And then you were like, nobody knew.
1:17
Just that little whisper, I loved it.
1:19
How many times do you think
1:24
you have appeared on Clydesdale Media?
1:30
Including our Bali chats?
1:32
Yeah.
1:34
Probably 20 times.
1:39
I thought it was more, but it was only 15.
1:41
Okay.
1:42
15 times.
1:45
That makes sense.
1:46
I thought it was probably around 15, 20.
1:48
I mean, it seems like more for sure,
1:50
but like we just had really
1:51
good long chats.
1:52
I think the Bali one,
1:54
it seems like it was more than it was,
1:56
but yeah.
1:58
But you've been on this show.
1:59
This will be your 15th appearance.
2:02
Somebody knew.
2:05
Somebody knew.
2:08
You knew.
2:10
I could not be more pumped
2:12
for you making the CrossFit Games.
2:16
And I didn't want to disrupt the weekend,
2:18
but I was so proud of you.
2:19
I was so happy for you.
2:21
I was looking up and down,
2:23
screaming at the TV.
2:25
Well, I appreciate it.
2:27
I always appreciate you and your support.
2:30
So have you gotten used to the term,
2:33
how do you can yo CrossFit games athlete?
2:39
No, I mean, not a hundred percent yet.
2:42
I was just talking to Jake
2:43
last night and I was just
2:44
sitting there and I said to him,
2:48
can you believe it that I'm
2:49
a games athlete?
2:50
And he just said, I know it's so insane.
2:55
And he just kept saying like,
2:56
I'm so proud of you.
2:57
And it's,
2:58
you're just such a fit chick
3:00
and I'm so happy and I
3:02
still can't really believe it.
3:03
So it's just so cool for him
3:05
to live this with me too.
3:07
And just how happy and
3:09
excited he is for me as well.
3:11
And yeah,
3:13
it's still feeling like a little
3:15
bit of a dream, but again, I'm,
3:19
I'm confident and I'm happy and it does.
3:22
Yeah.
3:23
It's real.
3:23
This is real.
3:24
I'm going.
3:25
Does he walk into grocery
3:28
store going like,
3:29
I'm dating a CrossFit Games athlete.
3:32
Probably.
3:33
He's up north firefighting.
3:34
So we actually only got to
3:36
hang out in Cali and then I
3:38
haven't seen him since
3:39
because he's on days off right now.
3:41
But I told him he could stay
3:42
up there because he took
3:42
like 12 days off to come to Cali for me.
3:46
So, yeah.
3:48
Well, it's cool that, well,
3:50
I wish you guys could spend
3:51
more time together,
3:52
but he also needs to be
3:53
able to come to the games, right?
3:55
Yeah.
3:56
And he has days off for the games,
3:57
which is awesome.
3:59
So that works out perfect.
4:00
Yeah.
4:01
And he's got to make that bread.
4:03
We got to get some bread so
4:04
we can get our acreage one day.
4:07
Yeah, we got goals.
4:09
Yeah, acreage.
4:12
Oh, yeah.
4:13
Yeah.
4:14
and this isn't even in my
4:15
plans because this is what
4:16
happens when we talk is you
4:18
go down one road and then I
4:19
just follow you.
4:20
I know like when you go to Bali,
4:27
it's not like you're going
4:28
and living high on the hog
4:29
because like you're living
4:31
up all bougie and all that.
4:33
Right.
4:34
You go because you can
4:36
sustain yourselves cheaper there than,
4:40
And you kind of get away from it all.
4:42
Yeah.
4:43
Doing that.
4:43
Right.
4:44
And so allow you to save
4:46
money for like acreage.
4:49
Yeah, I would say so.
4:53
I mean, our bougie living is still like,
4:55
we still live all right there,
4:56
but it's just so cheap.
4:58
So yeah,
4:59
we're able to just stay there for
5:00
four to six months.
5:01
And obviously we just love
5:03
the people there and we love the,
5:06
the culture and yeah, just all kind of,
5:10
goes together so yeah well
5:14
and one idea of bougie and
5:15
another could be different
5:16
because like you you live
5:18
in a place where it's
5:19
pretty much one one room
5:21
right and then like a
5:22
shared kitchen and a shared
5:25
this right but with that
5:27
you have a pool right there
5:28
and you have a gym right
5:29
there and you have so like
5:30
yeah it's cool you have all
5:31
this stuff but you are kind
5:33
of shrinking down when you go
5:36
For sure.
5:36
Yeah,
5:37
because we have lived in our own place.
5:39
But the biggest thing was,
5:41
we don't cook there.
5:42
So we don't really need our own big place.
5:46
And we live at the gym
5:47
pretty much because they
5:48
have everything there.
5:49
We work out there, we eat there,
5:52
we do our recovery sessions there.
5:54
So we're pretty much at the gym.
5:56
most of the day so in our
5:58
eyes it's just not worth
5:59
getting a more expensive
6:00
villa to ourselves when we
6:02
could just have this other
6:04
place that's it's nice it's
6:06
all you need and then we
6:08
can live it up at the gym
6:09
or go on more um excursions
6:13
or whatever it is right
6:16
Yeah.
6:16
Yeah.
6:16
It makes sense.
6:17
And I'm not,
6:18
I'm not downplaying it at all.
6:20
I think when you're young
6:22
and you don't have kids and you're,
6:24
and you're doing that stuff,
6:25
that's the time to do it.
6:26
Right.
6:27
Yeah.
6:28
And then when you have the
6:29
kids and you want the big
6:30
property and the acreage,
6:32
that's when that comes along.
6:34
A hundred percent.
6:35
That's the goal.
6:36
There it is.
6:38
So speaking of goals,
6:40
your goal for a couple of
6:41
years has been to make the
6:43
CrossFit Games.
6:43
Yes.
6:46
check now how do you reset
6:53
it all for the next goal
6:56
because you've now made it
6:58
to that next stage now you
7:00
don't want to just show up
7:02
right so how do you reset
7:06
all that and get ready for
7:08
the crossfit games I mean
7:12
that's a good question I feel like
7:17
I feel like I haven't really
7:18
set any goals for the games
7:22
or expectations because I
7:24
kind of want to go in with
7:25
the mindset of how I went
7:27
in with semifinals.
7:29
And that was just to enjoy
7:30
myself because I heard a
7:32
few people last year,
7:34
a couple of the girls,
7:35
like they went team this year.
7:40
they really didn't enjoy themselves.
7:42
And I don't know if that was
7:43
where they placed or if
7:45
they just didn't go in, you know,
7:47
they went in with higher expectations.
7:48
I don't know all of that,
7:50
but I just know for me,
7:51
I don't want to go in and
7:52
have these super high
7:54
expectations and then not
7:56
enjoy myself doing it
7:57
because that's all I'm reaching for.
7:59
Obviously I want to do really well,
8:01
but I don't know.
8:04
I feel like I'm just letting
8:06
it soak in first and then
8:07
maybe I'll kind of sit down and,
8:10
write some goals for the CrossFit games.
8:16
Tristan and I have already
8:17
sat down and kind of talked
8:19
about what training is going to look like,
8:22
what the games might look
8:23
like and all that kind of talk.
8:24
But for goals,
8:26
I don't really have any specific ones yet,
8:29
except to enjoy myself at the games.
8:34
And part of that enjoyment
8:35
is that you perform to the
8:37
best of your ability,
8:38
wherever that may land.
8:40
You just, you know,
8:42
I'm sure that is part of it.
8:44
I know you know,
8:45
but you'll be disappointed
8:47
if you didn't perform to
8:48
the best of your ability.
8:50
Yeah, for sure.
8:53
So this is going to be a weird question,
8:56
but I know you'll go with me.
8:58
So there's been a lot of
8:59
talk about the West being weak and,
9:04
In hindsight,
9:06
there was such a battle for
9:07
those last few spots.
9:09
You were never in that battle, right?
9:12
And you see some of the
9:13
people who didn't make it.
9:16
Does that make you feel like, hey,
9:18
we're not so weak?
9:19
Olivia Kirsten could get
9:20
through this gauntlet.
9:23
And she was a game-changer last year.
9:25
Yeah, I feel...
9:30
I feel like it's silly for
9:31
people to say that because I mean,
9:36
it really just depends on
9:37
how people perform that weekend.
9:39
It depends on the workouts.
9:41
It depends on,
9:42
there's so many different factors.
9:43
So to say that one is
9:45
stronger than the other, I mean,
9:47
I get it.
9:47
Tia's in the East and she's
9:49
the fittest in the world
9:51
for six years in a row or whatever,
9:53
but I don't know.
9:55
I mean,
9:56
it would be fun to be able to
9:57
compete over in the East and see,
9:59
you know,
10:00
how I would have done over there.
10:01
I know you did some stats on
10:03
like where people would
10:04
have ended up and I was
10:07
actually going to message you and be like,
10:08
Hey,
10:08
did you figure out where I would have
10:09
been?
10:10
Because that would have been
10:11
cool to just kind of see.
10:12
But cause I know you said
10:13
Onika would have been like
10:14
what 24th or something with everybody,
10:18
which was, is a crazy way to look at it.
10:21
But yeah, I don't know.
10:22
I think it's,
10:23
silly just because there are
10:25
so many different factors.
10:27
Um, and it was still hard on our side.
10:30
I mean, look at, we have, you know,
10:32
some of the fittest people
10:34
in the world over in the East as well.
10:36
So I don't know.
10:38
Yeah.
10:39
And I mean, it was actually Holly,
10:41
my stats and information
10:42
person who did that.
10:44
Um, and she's incredible.
10:46
I have those numbers.
10:47
I'll go,
10:47
I'll tell you after we're done to
10:51
look it up, but
10:53
or Holly she's in the chat
10:54
maybe she'll tell you but
10:56
the one thing it doesn't
10:58
take into consideration is
10:59
racing like if you're
11:02
racing someone for that
11:03
finish line if someone did
11:05
that in Europe and you you
11:07
would have finished 23rd
11:08
overall in the world okay
11:15
number one or without I
11:19
know she did it both ways yeah
11:23
I'm assuming your,
11:24
your run would help you out for sure.
11:27
Yeah.
11:28
So I don't know, but well,
11:30
you had to run longer than 800 too.
11:32
So that, yeah.
11:33
And upstairs in both, in both instances,
11:37
you're 23rd.
11:39
Oh, nice.
11:42
So you would have made the
11:43
games either way.
11:45
Cool.
11:46
Cool.
11:47
Um,
11:49
She's so fast.
11:49
She's so good.
11:50
I'm like, Oh wow.
11:52
That she's on this team.
11:55
Thank you.
11:56
Um, so yeah, it's,
12:01
it takes away the racing part of it.
12:03
Right.
12:04
And there were three instances,
12:05
I think in the West where
12:07
you either dove slid
12:09
summer's all to put the
12:10
finish line to get as low
12:14
as score as possible.
12:17
I did.
12:18
And so if someone in Europe
12:19
and you have a similar time,
12:21
would they have done that
12:23
at the finish line?
12:23
Like you would have like,
12:26
you don't get to count that in.
12:28
Yeah.
12:28
Yeah, that's true.
12:30
So that skews it a bit plus
12:33
just different environments
12:34
and all of that.
12:35
But it's interesting to look
12:37
and see what I wanted to see is like,
12:40
are we allocating positions properly?
12:42
Right.
12:43
Right.
12:44
Like,
12:46
Yeah, that's the tough one.
12:48
What I loved about
12:49
semifinals is people were
12:51
winning out of heat one.
12:52
Yeah.
12:54
People were messing up the
12:55
leaderboard from heat one.
12:57
We never get that at the games.
12:59
Right.
13:00
And I think part of that is
13:01
it's misallocated around the world.
13:04
Right.
13:04
We have people there that
13:05
really shouldn't be there
13:07
just to get representation.
13:08
Heat one, not relevant at the games.
13:14
Yeah.
13:15
Yeah.
13:16
I can see that.
13:21
That's what I like to see.
13:23
Yeah.
13:27
So we went through that a little bit.
13:29
So then we talked all off
13:31
season that you and Tristan
13:33
after last year had a sit
13:34
down and you needed a
13:37
different training than
13:38
what you did last year.
13:41
And apparently that worked swimmingly.
13:46
It has.
13:47
I feel great.
13:48
I feel fit and healthy.
13:52
For those people who didn't know,
13:55
tell them about last year
13:59
you were very committed to the gym.
14:01
You trained with Kelly Baker
14:04
pretty much from the
14:06
beginning of the year to
14:07
semis in Houston.
14:12
And this year you changed that up.
14:15
yeah I think the biggest
14:16
thing the difference was
14:18
just competing all the time
14:20
that's what I was doing
14:22
like I'm not saying I
14:24
learned so much from Kelly
14:25
and I am so grateful for
14:26
that experience but we're
14:28
both competitive you know
14:30
and even if we would go
14:31
into the gym and be like
14:33
hey let's chill today three
14:35
two one go we're competing
14:36
you know what I mean and
14:38
And I think that was just
14:39
too much for me and my
14:40
brain to just be competing, competing,
14:43
competing and working that
14:44
hard all the time.
14:45
And also I was just a hermit.
14:48
So I would go to the gym and
14:49
then I would go to the
14:49
place that I was staying
14:51
and I would just be in the house.
14:53
Like maybe I took a couple
14:55
of walks in that three
14:56
months that I was there,
14:58
but nothing like I do at home, you know?
15:03
And that was on me.
15:04
I should have gone out more,
15:05
but I just wasn't really,
15:08
I didn't really know the area.
15:09
I didn't, I don't know.
15:10
It was just,
15:13
I just wasn't really
15:14
comfortable with the area
15:15
and I didn't want to go out
15:16
and I'm not really used to
15:17
big cities like that.
15:18
You know, I'm,
15:19
my city's pretty small and it's,
15:23
I don't know.
15:23
I'm comfortable there.
15:24
So yeah, it was just too much for my brain,
15:28
for my body, I think.
15:29
And then just being a little hermit wasn't,
15:33
wasn't good for me.
15:33
So.
15:35
So that's one of the reasons
15:36
you went to Bali.
15:37
You went back home.
15:38
You got up in the mountains.
15:39
You did.
15:40
So right behind you,
15:41
and I know you're at a friend's house,
15:43
right behind you is a
15:44
picture of exactly the
15:46
place you want to be.
15:47
Yeah.
15:49
It's beautiful.
15:50
That's our backyard pretty much.
15:54
And so you're happiest when
15:55
you get to climb a mountain,
15:56
when you get to go see waterfalls,
15:59
when you get to go to the
16:00
beach and the ocean,
16:02
like that's when Hattie's happiest.
16:04
Yeah.
16:05
A hundred percent.
16:07
And so you need to do ensure
16:08
this off season that you
16:10
got enough of that to keep,
16:12
to keep you going through the training.
16:15
Yeah.
16:16
And then even through the training,
16:18
even in the training a bit too,
16:19
like next week my brother
16:21
and I are going to go do a
16:22
big trail run in the
16:22
mountains and maybe get on
16:24
the kayaks as well if the
16:26
weather permits.
16:29
But just get out, you know,
16:30
get out of the gym and go
16:32
and do something different.
16:35
And your brother's kind of
16:36
like a hero to you, right?
16:38
Yeah, he is.
16:41
And he's the one that kind
16:42
of got you into fitness, right?
16:43
Yeah.
16:44
I mean, I've always done like athletics,
16:46
but into fitness.
16:47
Yes.
16:48
He got me into fitness when my, yeah,
16:52
when I was going down that
16:54
very dark path.
16:57
But you're not on that dark path anymore.
16:59
Nah, I see the light.
17:03
We'd be shining.
17:06
How proud is your brother of you?
17:09
He's so proud.
17:10
I mean, even through semifinals,
17:12
he was messaging on the,
17:14
group chat from our family.
17:16
So I have five siblings and
17:17
everyone's in there.
17:18
My parents are in there and
17:19
he just kept updating
17:20
everyone like how he's
17:21
kicking it or how he's kicking ass.
17:24
And he would just be messaging, messaging,
17:26
messaging.
17:27
And then obviously when I got home,
17:28
he took me out for lunch
17:30
and just gave me a big hug,
17:31
told me how proud he was.
17:32
And yeah.
17:36
And he's a law enforcement officer.
17:38
Is that?
17:39
Yeah.
17:39
Yeah.
17:40
Okay, cool.
17:41
So he doesn't have the
17:43
flexibility to always go see you, right?
17:46
No, he does not.
17:48
He said he wanted to come to the games,
17:50
but he has other things
17:51
going on in his family life
17:53
that he cannot.
17:55
But I just appreciate him.
17:57
Yeah.
17:59
Him and his love and support either way.
18:03
Yeah.
18:05
So one last thing before we
18:06
get into your weekend of,
18:08
of success is last year you
18:11
did a week with Hattie in Bali.
18:13
And I know this year,
18:15
are you going to Canada?
18:17
Um, that's a good idea.
18:19
I mean,
18:19
I should do the mountains or
18:22
something for sure.
18:36
Yeah,
18:36
I think that would be a really good idea.
18:38
Maybe I will... I'm going to
18:41
think on that.
18:42
I like that idea, though.
18:44
Bring you guys all to the mountains.
18:46
Because for people that have
18:48
never been there, it's crazy.
18:49
Because when I was firefighting,
18:50
some of my friends had
18:51
never even seen the mountains.
18:53
And that just blew my mind.
18:56
Because the mountains are
18:57
everything to me.
18:59
So I just thought, wow,
19:02
you need to come to the mountains.
19:03
And once they did, they...
19:05
They just, yeah, fell in love.
19:08
A couple of them actually
19:09
moved to BC just to be in
19:11
the mountains because they fell in love.
19:12
They're from the East Coast.
19:15
Yeah.
19:18
It's so crazy.
19:19
I knew nothing about
19:21
Canadian geography until I did this show.
19:24
And so many of our listeners
19:25
are from Canada.
19:28
And I'm learning so much.
19:29
You guys love the Canadians.
19:31
We do.
19:32
We have a Canadian bias.
19:34
Yeah.
19:36
I love it.
19:39
So we're going to jump into
19:40
your weekend and then we're
19:42
going to finish up the show with,
19:44
for people who didn't know, we do,
19:47
you and I love to do 20 questions.
19:50
I'm going to finish it up
19:51
with like our version of 10 questions.
19:54
Only going to be 10 questions.
19:56
but we're going to start 20
19:58
and a half and then we're
20:00
going to go into into that
20:02
but so you start the
20:04
weekend with the run it
20:07
starts when you guys are
20:08
told you're going to run
20:09
the berm and then through
20:11
some different things it
20:12
gets changed and shortened
20:14
a bit um people complaining so sad um
20:22
And so in the heat of the moment,
20:23
I was upset as a spectator.
20:25
I wanted to see the berm.
20:27
Not that any of us
20:29
spectating from the stream
20:30
got to see it anyway,
20:31
but it would have been cool.
20:33
Did they show anything over
20:38
there in the soccer stadium?
20:39
Nothing.
20:40
Nothing.
20:41
Oh, just when we were coming in?
20:44
Not until the next day.
20:45
They put out a recut of like
20:48
the whole thing.
20:49
You guys running down the
20:50
stairs the whole bit.
20:52
But it took a day to produce that.
20:57
And it's out there on
20:58
YouTube if you want to go check it out.
21:00
Yeah,
21:01
I haven't looked really at anything yet.
21:04
At the Snatch event because
21:05
that one fired me up, but...
21:09
so and I do get it that it
21:11
was going to make it so
21:12
long it was really going to
21:13
change the stimulus of the
21:14
workout completely yeah um
21:17
and wad zombie says they
21:18
didn't show anything on the
21:19
screen in the stadium
21:20
either they just and that
21:24
that was the same way in
21:25
knoxville yeah the screen
21:27
showed nothing just people
21:29
left and then you had to
21:32
wait for them to come back in yeah
21:36
So you do the run.
21:39
You take third place to open your weekend.
21:43
Drastically different than last year.
21:46
Where day one, you were in total like,
21:50
how are we going to fix this thing?
21:52
Yeah.
21:53
Here you started off hot.
21:56
Oh, yeah.
21:57
I loved that event.
21:58
That was probably the one
21:59
I'm most proud of.
22:00
I mean,
22:00
I knew it would be a good one for me,
22:01
but I was most proud because...
22:05
I felt like an athlete and I
22:07
felt like a smart athlete
22:09
because I kept thinking of
22:11
the next move of the next move.
22:13
And, you know,
22:14
I was talking to myself
22:16
throughout the whole workout.
22:17
So yeah, I just felt really good and calm,
22:20
cool and collected during that workout.
22:22
Did the stairs affect you at all?
22:25
Not really.
22:26
I walked in a couple of the
22:28
rounds because I
22:30
saw someone else doing it
22:32
and so I was like let me
22:33
just see if this is just as
22:34
fast and I actually caught
22:36
up to the girl in front of
22:38
me that was running that
22:39
was like trying to jog up
22:41
and I was like briskly
22:43
walking grabbing the pole
22:45
so I just told myself okay
22:47
you can walk up these it's
22:49
faster right so yeah they
22:52
weren't bad I had practiced
22:53
some stairs before because Tristan didn't
22:56
I thought that we were going
22:57
to be doing stairs.
22:58
So we have these things called coolies.
23:00
Um, and yeah, they're just big Hills.
23:03
It's like a big Valley, big Hills.
23:05
And there's, um,
23:07
two different areas where
23:08
there's just stairs that
23:10
gradually go up and yeah, he's like, go,
23:14
go run those stairs.
23:16
Nice.
23:18
So at the end of the day,
23:20
you're in third place day one,
23:21
it's one event and it's over weird.
23:26
It felt good.
23:27
It was nice.
23:29
I liked it.
23:30
Just a long event and then go home, relax,
23:34
get ready for it.
23:35
Just gradually gets you
23:39
ready for the comp kind of.
23:40
Yeah.
23:42
So you wake up day two and
23:44
then we have the,
23:47
trying to remember them.
23:48
The next one is the total bar.
23:52
Double under.
23:53
Yeah.
23:58
And you finished seventh.
24:03
Did you even know what you finished?
24:06
I forget.
24:09
I didn't know then.
24:10
No.
24:10
And I knew that I was fighting.
24:12
This is one of the ones
24:13
where I rolled over the bar
24:15
and there was three of us.
24:17
And I'm pretty sure I took, you know,
24:19
the third, like they,
24:21
they beat me by just not
24:23
very much time at all.
24:24
So.
24:26
If I wouldn't have tripped
24:27
on my freaking double unders,
24:29
then I would have had them.
24:35
Event three is, I'm sorry,
24:38
got a frog in my throat.
24:39
That's okay.
24:41
But a bad allergy week here.
24:44
So then in the third event,
24:45
which is the... Seven rounds.
24:52
Echo bike, rope, climb, box jump.
24:54
Box jumps.
24:55
Yep.
24:57
And you on that one, you took fourth.
25:01
You like some rope climbs.
25:03
Yeah, I love them.
25:04
And that's the one I slid to
25:06
and my butt is still sore from it.
25:12
You did really well on that one.
25:13
And you anticipated doing well, right?
25:16
Yeah.
25:17
Yeah.
25:19
I asked Tristan about when
25:21
your athlete is dying for every point,
25:24
like you were doing rolling
25:26
over the finish line,
25:27
sliding over the finish line.
25:30
What does that do for you?
25:31
Is it, it just gets me fired up.
25:36
Yeah, I think so.
25:41
I, it just kind of came naturally.
25:44
Like you didn't think.
25:46
oh, you got to go slide.
25:47
It just kind of came where
25:48
you're just like, oh, I'm,
25:50
and that's why I say I just
25:51
felt good this weekend
25:52
because I felt like a smart
25:55
athlete in the sense of, okay,
25:56
you know where people are.
25:57
So you, yeah,
25:58
you do need to dive over that
26:00
line for those points.
26:01
And that one, I did take overtake somebody,
26:04
you know, by like,
26:05
I don't even know how much time,
26:07
but it was, it was very, very,
26:09
very close.
26:11
So, I mean,
26:12
there were some races and I
26:13
don't know specifically, but, um,
26:17
Because the person you
26:18
overtook is not near you.
26:21
But some of them were like
26:22
seven one-hundredths of a second.
26:25
Yeah.
26:25
Like it was crazy.
26:28
So at the end of the day,
26:33
you were in first place.
26:35
I know you weren't looking
26:37
at the leaderboard,
26:39
but were you able to avoid
26:41
someone telling you?
26:46
I had posted it on my Instagram.
26:48
Hey, I'm not looking at the leaderboard.
26:49
Please don't say anything,
26:51
but you can say whatever else you want.
26:54
And then as I'm packing up
26:56
all my stuff ready to go,
26:58
someone's coach had her
26:59
phone out and she said, honey,
27:01
you're doing really good.
27:03
You're at the top of the leaderboard.
27:06
And I just thought, holy shit.
27:10
Thanks for telling me, but.
27:12
I wasn't I didn't tell her I was just like,
27:14
Oh, man, crazy.
27:17
And that's all I had for
27:18
words because I didn't know what to say.
27:20
But it was fine.
27:22
It was all good.
27:24
I was gonna find out the next day anyways.
27:27
So it was all good.
27:28
When they put you in the middle lane,
27:29
you'd know.
27:31
Yeah.
27:32
Why am I in the middle lane?
27:35
Um, nobody knew.
27:37
So
27:42
So with that,
27:43
and we've talked about this
27:44
all off season,
27:46
that you had to do a lot of
27:48
mental work with a coach to
27:50
get the right mindset for competition.
27:53
Now you know you're atop the league.
27:55
Did it change the way you looked at it?
28:00
Not really.
28:01
The plan was always just take it one step.
28:06
event at a time.
28:07
And I knew that those events were good,
28:09
but also it's like anything can happen.
28:11
Right.
28:11
So I kind of just put that aside.
28:15
I had my happy moment of
28:16
saying this is sweet,
28:17
but anyone it's anyone's game still.
28:21
That doesn't mean that
28:22
you're going to get first.
28:23
So I just needed to start
28:26
the next day with a clean slate.
28:30
Let me ask it this way.
28:31
Going in,
28:33
you weren't trying to win the
28:34
competition.
28:35
You were trying to qualify.
28:36
Oh, yeah.
28:36
You weren't trying to win.
28:38
No, I was not.
28:41
No, I was not trying to win.
28:42
I just wanted to get eighth.
28:45
I just wanted to get a spot for sure.
28:49
So when you know you're winning,
28:51
does it change the thought process like,
28:54
oh my gosh, I could win?
28:55
I mean...
28:59
a little bit, but again,
29:03
I just wanted to make it.
29:05
So I just thought to myself,
29:07
do not mess up here, you know,
29:09
and I'm so oblivious about
29:11
points and point spreads and all of that.
29:14
So even in Egypt, I was doing fine.
29:18
I was good.
29:19
And I think it was the last
29:21
event or something.
29:23
And I didn't,
29:24
I had no idea if I was going
29:25
to win or not.
29:26
And,
29:27
I was like, Oh no,
29:28
I have to really do good on
29:30
this last event.
29:31
And a couple of the competitors were like,
29:34
what are you talking about?
29:35
You're pretty much going to
29:36
win this competition.
29:38
And I am just, I'm oblivious to it.
29:40
So I think in my head, I just didn't know.
29:46
I don't know.
29:47
I don't know where I was at.
29:50
I know I didn't go in to win,
29:53
which I probably should
29:54
have changed that.
29:56
that mindset a little bit,
29:59
but also I think by the last event, yes,
30:05
I wanted to win and I want,
30:07
or I at least just wanted
30:08
to be on the podium.
30:10
That was the thing when,
30:11
once I knew that I had podium in my reach,
30:16
I wanted it so bad.
30:17
Um,
30:19
but we'll get to that last event on why
30:21
I did not podium.
30:22
Um,
30:25
Yeah.
30:27
Because like what's working
30:28
for you up until and
30:29
putting you in that spot is
30:31
not trying to win.
30:31
Just sticking to your game plan.
30:35
So it's kind of a catch 22.
30:36
Do you want to change the
30:40
mentality or should you?
30:43
Yeah.
30:43
Either way, it could bite you in the ass.
30:47
Yeah, I think it was like that.
30:49
It was just kind of pulling
30:50
either way where I was just like, yes,
30:52
it would be awesome to win.
30:53
But then I had to like
30:54
straighten myself out and be like, no,
30:56
we're just trying to make it right now.
30:58
I mean,
30:58
I don't even know what this means
31:01
of me being on top like this, you know,
31:04
because it's never been
31:07
really like that in a hard
31:09
competition like this.
31:11
With Alex Suzanne, Ariel Lohan,
31:14
Emily Rolfe.
31:16
Yeah.
31:18
Yeah, you're up there in rarefied air.
31:23
Yeah.
31:24
So you do event four, handstand walk row,
31:32
and you finish eight.
31:36
Yeah.
31:38
I know you went three on your hands,
31:40
but that was already a row event.
31:43
It was, yeah.
31:44
I think if we would have had
31:46
more handstands,
31:48
Maybe I could have caught a couple people,
31:50
but it was because I can
31:52
just be on my hands whenever, right?
31:56
It was definitely the row.
31:59
I have come a long way with rowing,
32:02
but I still need to just
32:04
keep working at it.
32:07
Well, just to let you know,
32:07
I told Carolyn Prevost it
32:09
was a handstand workout and
32:11
she laid into me.
32:14
And on me,
32:16
I thought you Canadians are
32:17
supposed to be nice.
32:20
Only sometimes.
32:23
In all seriousness, she convinced me, yes,
32:25
it's a row workout.
32:28
Yeah.
32:28
Fast on your hands.
32:29
You can make up maybe a little bit of time,
32:31
but really it's a row workout.
32:34
I, to be honest,
32:35
I did think it was a
32:36
handstand workout when I first saw it.
32:39
Um,
32:40
But then just thinking about it,
32:42
it was like, oh, no,
32:43
you got to row pretty hard.
32:45
And after watching Laura Horvath do it,
32:47
I was like, yeah.
32:50
I think it's a row workout.
32:52
And it was.
32:54
So then you go into the snatch workout.
32:58
And I picked you as my
33:04
underdog to win that.
33:07
thank you because I knew you
33:09
were efficient with the
33:10
barbell you had a smaller
33:13
range of motion but I
33:15
completely forgot about the
33:17
three freaks that you were
33:18
going up against yeah
33:20
especially olivia when we
33:22
were she was in the heat
33:24
above us and when someone
33:26
came back and said her time
33:27
we all just looked at each
33:29
other and we just thought
33:31
not none of us are touching
33:32
that time not even close
33:36
yeah I they interviewed
33:37
danny spiegel and she said
33:38
she heard the time and was
33:39
like nope I'm I'm playing
33:42
for second place yeah so
33:48
did that even affect your
33:49
game plan at all because it
33:51
was so absurd nope I knew
33:55
what I could do I knew what
33:58
you know I knew what
34:02
I needed to do.
34:02
And I went out there and did
34:04
it the best I could.
34:04
I got one, no rep on my first one,
34:06
but I just shook it off,
34:08
got right back on the bar and yeah,
34:11
I was able to stay consistent, cool, calm,
34:13
collected.
34:14
And the bars honestly felt so good.
34:16
So yeah.
34:18
And you finished in fifth, which.
34:23
because of the three freaks
34:25
ahead of you that are
34:26
amazing at this event,
34:28
they were all behind you on
34:30
the leaderboard.
34:30
So you actually went right
34:32
back into first place.
34:35
And this is the point where
34:36
I was talking to Tristan on our show.
34:38
You wrote in the comments
34:41
something contradictory to
34:43
what he thought.
34:45
And I said,
34:45
did she know she had it clinched?
34:48
And you wrote in the comments, no.
34:57
I knew because someone told
34:59
me and I love that person
35:00
but I wish that they never
35:02
told me but I did get to
35:04
have my cry because what
35:06
happened was this person
35:08
told me and pretty much
35:12
said hey like you could get
35:14
last right now and you've
35:15
made the games and so I
35:16
just started bawling we
35:18
hugged whatever and it was
35:20
a great moment but
35:23
I think that it was
35:24
detrimental to my game
35:26
because even though I still
35:27
wanted to push hard and I
35:29
knew that last event was
35:30
going to be good for me,
35:31
like I should have for sure
35:32
got top 10 on that event,
35:34
but I think it was subconscious.
35:38
I just had no urgency,
35:40
even on the ring muscle ups.
35:41
I was going and I felt really good.
35:44
And that at 11, I was like,
35:46
you could come down.
35:47
Like what?
35:48
No.
35:49
Why are we not doing this?
35:50
I'm broken.
35:50
You can do these.
35:51
I'm broken easy.
35:52
So why are we coming down?
35:54
I don't, I don't even know.
35:56
And I had that conversation with me.
35:58
I thought as soon as I dropped, I was like,
36:01
what are you doing?
36:02
You know,
36:02
it was like two people fighting
36:04
against each other.
36:05
And then the other person was like,
36:08
I don't know.
36:09
We just are dropping for a second.
36:10
We're just going to have a quick rest.
36:12
Like, oh,
36:13
it was just such a weird feeling.
36:15
And then I got a costly no
36:17
rep on the lunges.
36:18
So yeah.
36:21
Yeah.
36:21
You don't have to say this.
36:24
It was a bogus call.
36:27
You should not have had to
36:28
go back the other square
36:30
just to the beginning of that one.
36:34
And that would have made all
36:35
the difference in the world.
36:36
And you, I mean, yeah,
36:39
they did tell us in the briefing though,
36:40
it was each yellow line.
36:42
So it was every 24 was
36:44
supposed to be unbroken.
36:47
And you cleared that yellow line.
36:49
Well, that's the thing.
36:50
I did clear it, but yeah,
36:52
that's what I'm saying.
36:53
You got hosed.
36:54
You don't have to say you're
36:55
the athlete and you don't
36:56
want to make enemies.
36:58
And I get that.
36:59
I'm saying you got hosed.
37:02
Yeah.
37:03
And honestly,
37:04
this is me learning and growing as a,
37:07
as an athlete too,
37:08
because I should have appealed it.
37:10
But in the moment you're
37:11
just sitting there like, Oh, you know,
37:13
all I could think of was
37:14
looking up at them.
37:15
Like, was that good enough to podium?
37:18
I mean, all I wanted to do was make it,
37:20
but then when I had podium and reach,
37:22
that's all I wanted right then and there,
37:25
you know,
37:25
I was a little bit disappointed
37:27
in myself.
37:30
I'm going to ask a weird question.
37:32
in that moment when you're
37:34
ready to set it down is,
37:36
do you have enough
37:39
wherewithal in your head to
37:40
look at your judge and say, am I good?
37:45
Were you at a point where
37:46
like you had to let him down?
37:50
No,
37:50
I probably should have either taken one
37:52
more step just in case, or yeah, ask him.
37:57
I wasn't quite prepared.
37:59
needing to drop it.
38:00
I just saw the line right
38:02
there and I was like,
38:03
if I could just do one step,
38:04
that's better than two.
38:06
And I saw that it was far
38:08
enough that I could do a big lunge.
38:11
So that's why I did that.
38:12
But yeah, maybe I should have been like,
38:13
is that good?
38:14
You know,
38:15
or look behind me before I set
38:18
them down or something.
38:20
But again, this is like a fast race.
38:22
That last one is a fast.
38:24
You're not really thinking about that.
38:26
I was just trying to get
38:27
over that line fast.
38:29
So I could,
38:29
cause I knew I was going to set it down.
38:31
So that's why I was like, okay,
38:32
get over that line so we
38:33
can pull it back.
38:35
Deep breath.
38:35
We're going to pick it up.
38:36
Go.
38:38
But I think in hindsight, what people,
38:41
especially in the East, oh my gosh,
38:42
so many people lost their
38:44
tickets to the game on that event.
38:47
And it was because like,
38:49
you really do have a little
38:50
more time than you think
38:52
just would have like,
39:00
Hey, every time the dumbbells down,
39:04
do a quick shake out back up and go.
39:07
Yeah.
39:07
We would have done well
39:08
enough to make it to the games.
39:10
Yeah.
39:10
Yeah.
39:11
Yeah.
39:23
And that's why it was a cool event.
39:25
I mean, it was a perfect ending.
39:29
It was definitely a perfect ending.
39:31
Yeah.
39:33
Cause it messed some people
39:34
up and then that's exactly
39:35
what they're going for on that.
39:37
And yeah, I thought it was really cool.
39:41
Yeah.
39:42
And I'm glad I just learned
39:42
that now and yeah.
39:46
So.
39:48
especially like the push
39:50
pull with the two Hattie's
39:52
one on each shoulder.
39:53
Is that something you are
39:55
going to talk about with
39:55
your mindset coach or with Tristan?
39:58
It's like, how do we fix that?
40:04
I think it's just more
40:07
practice in the gym.
40:09
Yeah.
40:09
Like I could talk to my
40:10
mindset coach and say,
40:11
how do I overcome that kind of thing?
40:13
And just practice that kind
40:15
of talk in the gym for sure.
40:17
Um, but yeah,
40:19
it just comes with more
40:20
experience because just the
40:22
fact that I could have that
40:23
conversation with myself
40:25
during a workout is already
40:27
a step in the right direction.
40:28
So I think it's just comes
40:30
with more and more experience.
40:34
Yeah.
40:36
I think what's, what's cool about this,
40:38
like in a lot of words,
40:42
always go better when you,
40:46
When you can what, sorry?
40:47
When you can slow them down in your mind.
40:50
Oh, yeah.
40:51
Right?
40:52
That's why number one went
40:53
so good because it was just
40:56
slowed down and I was able to be calm.
40:59
Yeah.
41:00
You were in that flow state, that zone,
41:03
right?
41:03
Yeah.
41:04
The last event was designed
41:06
to push people outside of that zone.
41:09
Yeah.
41:09
Yeah.
41:11
And either you succumb to it
41:12
or you overcame it.
41:14
And that's what the beauty of sports is.
41:17
For sure.
41:18
Yeah, I agree.
41:21
But one of it, you finished fourth,
41:25
tied with Ariel Lowen for
41:27
third because she had a win.
41:32
She finishes ahead of you.
41:35
Still ecstatic about the weekend?
41:37
Oh, yeah.
41:37
I'm excited.
41:40
proud and happy and just
41:42
ready for the next one.
41:45
Does it give you extra
41:46
confidence knowing you hung
41:48
with some of the best
41:50
athletes in the sport?
41:52
Oh yeah, it does for sure.
41:57
Cause like take nothing away from outfit,
41:59
right?
41:59
You were an outfit,
42:00
but you weren't going up.
42:01
No.
42:02
Yeah.
42:03
And here you were.
42:11
yeah gave me all the
42:12
confidence gave me yeah
42:15
like I said in that
42:16
interview like I just
42:18
believe that I'm capable
42:20
now you know yeah not to do
42:24
it again but we knew we knew
42:33
So I could, and again,
42:35
and I could not be more proud of you.
42:37
You've become such a cool friend.
42:39
Um,
42:42
and I'm so happy in your family and
42:44
Jake and everybody.
42:48
Cause I know they get to see this.
42:51
Yeah.
42:53
I appreciate it so much.
42:57
So now we're going to finish
42:58
with the fun stuff.
43:01
20 questions.
43:04
This goes all over the map.
43:05
There's no structure to this.
43:07
Oh, no.
43:08
Okay.
43:10
And you know me.
43:10
I'm all over the map on this one.
43:12
You ready?
43:13
I'm ready.
43:13
Question one.
43:15
Perfect date night.
43:17
Oh, perfect date night.
43:19
Probably mountains.
43:23
Go on a hike.
43:25
Come down.
43:25
Go to the local pub.
43:28
Have a beer.
43:29
Have a burger.
43:30
Yeah.
43:31
um finish it off with some
43:32
ice cream and walk around
43:34
the town awesome simple
43:39
question number two what is
43:40
the one implement you want
43:42
to try at the games that
43:43
you have seen them use in
43:44
the past oh I would
43:50
probably have to say the
43:51
pig oh oh we have one of those at my gym
43:58
Okay,
43:58
I have to come over because I can't
44:00
find one anywhere.
44:02
It's just like,
44:03
it's just so hardy and I
44:05
just want to be able to lift it and,
44:07
I mean,
44:07
watch it come to the games and I
44:09
can't even lift it.
44:11
What's funny is it's
44:13
actually Margot Alvarez's.
44:15
Okay.
44:16
When Christy, because Christy owns my gym,
44:19
Christy O'Connell,
44:20
when she did games and
44:22
there was an announcement for the pig,
44:24
Margot shipped it to her to tell her.
44:27
wow nobody can afford the
44:29
shipping back nice I mean
44:33
that's cool um when you get
44:37
your game school what's the
44:40
one non-negotiable pose you
44:41
will do with your kit on oh
44:44
no I need to pick a new
44:47
pose because I've done I've
44:49
been like doing this one
44:51
but I want a more fun one
44:52
so I feel like maybe I'll do like
44:56
Or I'll do this.
44:58
Yeah.
44:58
It's gotta be like, yeah, that's it.
45:04
Okay.
45:06
Yeah.
45:06
We got to see.
45:07
That's the one.
45:09
All right.
45:10
And then more exhilarating
45:13
putting out a fire or
45:15
qualifying for the CrossFit.
45:19
They're just different, man.
45:20
Oh,
45:26
They're different.
45:27
They're both exhilarating in
45:28
their own ways.
45:29
I would say this year
45:31
qualifying wasn't as
45:34
exhilarating as I thought
45:36
it would be only because of
45:38
what happened with that last event.
45:40
You know what I mean?
45:41
Like I thought I'd be crying
45:42
and I thought I'd be, you know,
45:45
or jumping with joy,
45:47
but I just was thinking about the podium.
45:49
So
45:51
They're just,
45:52
I think the whole weekend was
45:53
just so exhilarating.
45:54
So they're exhilarating in their own way.
45:56
Fire is crazy.
45:58
When you're in the thick of
46:00
it and you got a crazy fire
46:02
going on beside you, I mean,
46:05
that's like close to death.
46:06
So, I mean,
46:07
that's probably more exhilarating,
46:09
to be honest.
46:11
And for listeners who didn't know,
46:12
you fought wildfires in
46:15
Canada for three years?
46:17
Yeah.
46:18
Six.
46:19
Six.
46:20
Yeah.
46:20
Three and three.
46:21
You were a leader for three.
46:23
I was a leader for four and
46:25
a non leader for two.
46:27
Okay.
46:27
I was getting, I was getting close.
46:29
You were close.
46:29
You were close.
46:30
Okay.
46:33
Favorite part of the semifinal.
46:37
I think having all of my community,
46:41
all my friends,
46:42
all my family there with me,
46:43
it was just so,
46:46
I don't know.
46:46
That just kept me calm all weekend.
46:48
And it was so cool walking
46:50
up the stairs at the end of the event.
46:51
And everyone was just
46:52
waiting for me at the top
46:54
to give me a big old hug
46:55
and say how proud they were of me.
46:57
And I know that they would
46:58
have done that no matter what,
47:00
even if I was in last,
47:01
they still would have been
47:01
up there to give me a hug
47:03
and say that they're proud of me.
47:05
So, yeah.
47:08
All right.
47:08
The CrossFit games are over.
47:11
What is the perfect meal to
47:12
celebrate the end of your season?
47:16
I mean, I'm just a burger fiend.
47:18
So a big old burger, some fries,
47:20
maybe a milkshake or some ice cream.
47:25
Probably a beer too.
47:27
Milkshake and ice cream.
47:29
Maybe both.
47:30
Yeah.
47:33
Maybe put the ice cream in the beer.
47:35
I don't know.
47:36
Who knows that you lost me there.
47:39
Yeah.
47:40
That'd be disgusting.
47:42
I won't do that.
47:43
I love ice cream.
47:44
Love beer.
47:46
They do not.
47:46
But not together.
47:47
Yeah.
47:48
No.
47:49
All right.
47:50
If you could pick one song
47:53
to play over the
47:53
loudspeaker as you enter
47:55
the Coliseum for the CrossFit Games,
47:58
what song would that be?
48:01
Can I have two?
48:07
It would probably have to
48:08
be... This is hard.
48:13
Tell them we coming.
48:15
No, it's actually called KKAM.
48:18
And it says, tell them we're coming,
48:20
tell them we're coming,
48:21
tell them we're coming.
48:24
Awesome.
48:28
Okay.
48:31
What is the one destination
48:32
for an adventure you want
48:34
to accomplish before anything else?
48:38
Okay, wait,
48:38
say that again because I just
48:39
zoned out on the song
48:41
because I just thought of
48:42
another song that I want.
48:43
So say that one more time.
48:45
We learned when we did these
48:46
on the Bali shows that
48:49
everybody always has to have two.
48:51
I know.
48:52
Well,
48:53
it's because I like Disney and I like
48:55
rap.
48:55
So I would like a Disney
48:57
song for half of it and a
48:58
rap song for the other.
49:04
Throw it up, Lil Jon and East Side.
49:07
Nice.
49:07
Hi, Tristan.
49:10
Wad Zombie says, I'm proud of you,
49:12
but you should be more proud of yourself.
49:15
Thank you.
49:16
I am proud of myself.
49:18
So here's the question again.
49:19
Okay.
49:20
Hopefully we flushed the
49:21
other one away now.
49:22
It's gone.
49:23
What is one destination for
49:25
an adventure you want to
49:27
accomplish before anything else?
49:31
A destination?
49:32
We've been to Bali.
49:35
We've been to Egypt.
49:36
We've been to all these cool places.
49:38
What's the next destination
49:40
you want to go to with it?
49:46
I would probably have to say,
49:52
I'm trying to think I've
49:54
always wanted to go to Vietnam.
49:58
Okay.
49:59
And go to like the,
50:00
there's this really cool
50:01
bridge and it's got like
50:02
this big hand that holds
50:04
the bridge and then just, yeah,
50:07
it looks really cool there.
50:09
The culture.
50:11
And I've just heard really
50:12
good things about it.
50:12
So, yeah.
50:14
You're kind of all about the culture,
50:16
right?
50:16
Like you go to a place you
50:18
like to dive in and like,
50:20
what's the food?
50:21
What's the.
50:22
Yeah, for sure.
50:24
Yeah.
50:26
And then my last one,
50:27
because I heard after semis,
50:29
you went to universal studios.
50:32
What is your favorite theme park?
50:35
I haven't really been to a ton of them,
50:37
but that would probably be
50:39
my favorite because Optimus
50:40
Prime was there.
50:44
I'm in love with him.
50:45
And I told him I was in love with him.
50:50
And what did he say back?
50:52
Oh, you're going to cry.
50:53
He said, well,
50:55
I'm in love with the universe.
50:59
And then I cried because he
51:01
shut me down pretty much.
51:06
Ticket to the CrossFit Games,
51:08
shot down by Optimus Prime.
51:10
It's crazy, man.
51:12
What is life?
51:15
It's yin and the yang.
51:17
Yeah.
51:18
Yeah, that's true.
51:20
I'm surprised.
51:22
I asked this because I knew
51:23
you liked Disney music.
51:25
Yeah.
51:26
And I didn't know if, like,
51:27
Disney theme park would
51:29
outweigh Optimus Prime, but apparently...
51:33
Yeah.
51:33
I mean, if Mulan was there and you know,
51:37
Hercules,
51:38
then maybe I would have loved that.
51:39
Cause I did go to Disney
51:40
world years ago and it was good,
51:43
but I just really liked the
51:44
rides and the whole experience.
51:46
Like Harry Potter world was
51:48
really cool too.
51:50
So yeah.
51:53
I think I missed a couple of
51:54
questions here.
51:57
I know I did.
52:02
What's the one,
52:03
what's the favorite thing
52:04
you've streamed in the last year?
52:06
What's the what?
52:08
The favorite thing you've
52:09
streamed in the last year.
52:11
Favorite thing I've streamed.
52:13
Oh, that's it.
52:19
Or binged show you've binged.
52:23
Yeah.
52:23
I'm trying to think.
52:29
I don't watch a lot of TV.
52:31
Um,
52:33
I'm weird.
52:34
I watch some weird stuff.
52:35
Like I watch crime shows and
52:39
I recently watched this thing.
52:42
Actually, I probably shouldn't even say it,
52:44
but it's like a religious thing.
52:47
And it just intrigues me
52:49
because I grew up religious
52:51
and that was probably the
52:53
most interesting one that I watched.
52:58
Yeah.
52:58
I watched some weird stuff,
53:00
so nothing too interesting.
53:04
The weirdest thing I've watched this year,
53:05
just like... My wife started this thing,
53:10
and then we got hooked,
53:11
and we ended up pinching the whole thing.
53:13
And it was about the pepper people.
53:16
What are the pepper people?
53:18
So they are people who love hot peppers.
53:24
Oh,
53:24
and is it where celebrities are eating
53:26
these?
53:27
No.
53:30
That's a talk show.
53:31
This is like...
53:33
like jimmy in his basement
53:34
growing a new breed of
53:37
pepper to try to be the
53:38
hottest in the world this
53:41
guy in pittsburgh growing
53:42
him in his backyard and
53:44
this guy in colorado
53:45
growing him on a
53:46
mountainside okay and
53:49
there's people who judge
53:51
whether they're the hottest
53:52
pepper in the world
53:53
And then there's
53:54
competitions where like you
53:57
have to go round by round,
53:58
like the first round you eat one pepper,
54:00
second round you eat two peppers,
54:02
then three, then four.
54:03
Just burn your tongue off.
54:05
Like I like spice,
54:06
but when you just burn your tongue off,
54:08
there's no point.
54:10
And so it was just fascinating.
54:12
One, these people were bizarre characters.
54:16
They were paranoid.
54:19
So whenever you take your
54:20
pepper to be tasted,
54:21
you take the seeds out of
54:22
it because they're so
54:23
paranoid that someone will
54:25
steal a seed and plant it.
54:27
And grow it.
54:28
And have their pepper.
54:30
Oh, that is hilarious.
54:33
Just little freaks about their peppers.
54:36
It was the craziest thing ever.
54:38
And we got totally sucked in.
54:42
I,
54:43
so actually I did get sucked into the
54:45
glass blowing show.
54:46
I can't remember what it's called.
54:48
Uh, something hot.
54:50
I can't remember,
54:51
but that was really cool to
54:53
see what people could make with glass.
54:55
The Christmas edition was really cool.
54:58
Oh, and I didn't watch that one.
54:59
I still need to.
55:01
Yeah.
55:02
Yeah, we got into that one too.
55:05
My wife watches all the true crime stuff,
55:07
all the bizarre stuff.
55:09
Yeah, the crime ones are good.
55:12
I can't do the true crime.
55:14
No?
55:15
Jake either.
55:16
He's like,
55:16
I don't know why you watch that.
55:20
Hard enough.
55:21
I don't think everybody else
55:22
has that experience.
55:27
That's fair.
55:28
It's also kind of scary where
55:30
you see what people are
55:31
capable of and then you're
55:32
walking down the street like, Oh yeah.
55:36
Yeah.
55:36
My wife is like,
55:38
I couldn't sleep last night.
55:39
And I'm like, why?
55:40
Cause you watched three, three date lines.
55:44
Cause you watched some
55:45
murder that comes into
55:46
people's homes or something.
55:48
It's like, no wonder.
55:49
She goes, this guy,
55:52
I was watching the show and
55:53
there's this guy and this
55:55
girl and they met and then
55:56
they went to the grand Canyon.
55:57
I'm like, and he shoved her off.
55:59
Well, yeah.
55:59
How'd you know?
56:00
Cause every show is that when you,
56:04
I think it's a woman thing.
56:05
We just love the suspense or something.
56:08
I don't know.
56:09
Yeah.
56:11
Well, as always, these are such a blast.
56:14
Yeah.
56:15
I loved it.
56:15
Fun to hang out.
56:16
So glad you're going to the games.
56:19
So glad I still got it.
56:21
I got to check on plane
56:22
tickets this weekend, but yeah,
56:24
I hope you're going to be there.
56:26
So I have a hotel there.
56:28
Okay.
56:29
Get a flight.
56:31
Okay.
56:31
Let's do it.
56:32
For media credentials.
56:34
And you know, CrossFit,
56:35
they wait till the last minute.
56:39
I'm going to send out all the good vibes.
56:40
Guess what?
56:41
You might not believe in
56:42
this woo woo stuff,
56:43
but when I was on the
56:44
podcast with Lauren and I
56:46
saw your comment,
56:49
the number or the time on it was 1111.
56:52
So that could be good juju for you.
56:56
I'm sending it out to the universe now.
56:58
You're going to get it.
57:04
I like the 11-11 thing.
57:06
I've literally been seeing
57:08
11-11 everywhere lately.
57:12
Wad Zombie, you're the best.
57:15
$4.99, get a flight.
57:18
There you go.
57:21
That'll help.
57:22
Yeah, there we go.
57:25
Wad Zombie is one of the best dudes ever.
57:28
Yeah, they're great.
57:30
So, um, and you got to meet him at,
57:32
at semis.
57:33
I did get to meet him.
57:34
That was awesome.
57:37
Hopefully he'll make that
57:38
part about you someday.
57:42
May have already.
57:44
No, I don't know.
57:45
Maybe.
57:45
Right.
57:47
Waddy.
57:48
Right.
57:48
Waddy.
57:49
Waddy.
57:50
Waddy.
57:51
You know, that's going to be a handle.
57:55
Oh, yeah.
57:55
He should change it.
57:56
Wadi Hadi.
57:57
Wadi Hadi zombie.
58:02
He.
58:08
Lips are sealed.
58:11
All right.
58:13
Well, with that.
58:14
This is going to be it.
58:16
I better see that on IG.
58:20
That'll be it for sure.
58:22
Yeah.
58:23
Because, I mean,
58:24
that's what you should be known for.
58:26
Yeah, right?
58:28
Like when you win an event.
58:31
Let's go.
58:32
Yeah.
58:35
Because everybody's doing tricks now.
58:36
Like Jason Hopper did the
58:38
putting out a cigarette.
58:39
Oh, yeah.
58:40
Yeah.
58:42
I did see that.
58:43
Yeah.
58:43
Yeah, I got to think of something.
58:45
Maybe that will be it, actually.
58:47
Yeah.
58:49
That way you stand out.
58:51
Yeah.
58:53
Especially when you get to flip the pig.
58:56
Oh, that's going to be sick.
58:59
Well, with that, guys,
59:00
thank you so much for being
59:01

59:02
You make this show so much fun.
