  Don't adjust your TV sets.

  It's not Wednesday.

  It's not Tuesday.
• 0:44
  It's Friday.

  But the saga of the Masters
• 0:49
  Fitness Championships has continued.
• 0:52
  So I had to bring my boy Corey back on.

• 1:05
  Before we get to that,
• 1:06
  I got a dart throw to do.

• 1:12
  No, just throw it.

• 1:34
  judy jeffrey lito aaron so
• 1:39
  glad you could all be here
• 1:41
  um earlier this week I
• 1:42
  mentioned that my um
• 1:47
  that my daughter was going
• 1:49
  to Yellowstone to film
• 1:52
  bears attacking their bear-proof cooler.
• 1:55
  Tell me there's footage of this.
• 1:58
  Please tell me there's footage of this.
• 1:59
  Well,
• 2:00
  I have the answer if the cooler is
• 2:04
  bear-proof or not.
• 2:06
  So guess is on, is the cooler bear-proof?
• 2:10
  Yes or no?
• 2:13
  I'm going to go with yes.
• 2:14
  Yes.
• 2:17
  I have no idea what kind of cooler it is,
• 2:19
  but I'm going to go with yes.
• 2:28
  Can you see the cooler?
• 2:34
  All right, well.
• 2:36
  The answer is no.
• 2:38
  A resounding no.
• 2:40
  Yeah,
• 2:41
  so all of the footage to advertise
• 2:43
  their bear-proof cooler was no good.
• 2:48
  because the cooler was
• 2:49
  actually not bear proof and
• 2:53
  like they got locks on it
• 2:55
  oh yeah you lock it down on
• 2:57
  the outside and the bear
• 2:59
  just went down through the
• 3:00
  top and the bear's like
• 3:01
  that's fine you can put all
• 3:03
  the locks on it yeah yeah
• 3:09
  so she does have some video
• 3:10
  footage I don't know what I
• 3:12
  can share because it is proprietary um
• 3:17
  But, yeah,
• 3:18
  it was a big old grizzly and
• 3:21
  just popped the top, man.
• 3:22
  Yeah, he was like,
• 3:24
  I'm going to get like a can
• 3:26
  of beans and just pop the top, man.
• 3:28
  Dude, that is.
• 3:35
  Train Olive says,
• 3:36
  looks like me going into
• 3:38
  the fridge when I'm hungry.
• 3:40
  I understand.
• 3:42
  I understand.
• 3:43
  I understand.
• 3:43
  Can't confirm.
• 3:45
  Can't confirm.
• 3:46
  Dude, look at that.
• 3:48
  Yeah.
• 3:49
  If you ever wondered, like,
• 3:50
  don't fight a bear.
• 3:51
  I'm going to just put that
• 3:52
  out there right now.
• 3:53
  Don't even try.
• 3:54
  Yeah.
• 3:55
  But how cool is it that
• 3:56
  that's your freaking job?
• 3:58
  That's my daughter's job.
• 3:59
  Yeah.
• 3:59
  You know,
• 4:00
  she's got to watch this stuff and
• 4:01
  video it.
• 4:03
  That's awesome.
• 4:03
  Hey, what are we doing tomorrow?
• 4:05
  Well,
• 4:08
  I'm going to throw going to throw
• 4:10
  some more product at a bear
• 4:11
  and see how it holds up.
• 4:12
  We're going to put what was in it.
• 4:15
  don't know I I do think they
• 4:17
  rub the top with some stuff
• 4:19
  yeah to get him to come
• 4:20
  check it out yeah um but I
• 4:24
  I did she got home really
• 4:26
  late last night and uh we
• 4:28
  haven't talked to her about
• 4:29
  the actual overall I would
• 4:31
  be curious and this is my
• 4:34
  this is my own bear testing
• 4:36
  protocol but instead of
• 4:38
  rubbing something on it
• 4:39
  right lock it down like
• 4:41
  it's supposed to be put
• 4:42
  some food in it and then just
• 4:46
  And that may have been what happened.
• 4:47
  I don't know.
• 4:48
  Again, I don't know the details.
• 4:50
  I know that they did make
• 4:51
  arrangements with Yellowstone and,
• 4:55
  and their park.
• 4:56
  Right.
• 4:56
  Fantastic.
• 4:59
  Like, I love that.
• 5:00
  Just the idea that they
• 5:01
  called up and they were like, yeah, uh,
• 5:03
  Yellowstone.
• 5:04
  Yeah, this is what we want to do.
• 5:06
  And Yellowstone was like, yup,
• 5:07
  let's make it happen.
• 5:08
  Because in every national
• 5:10
  park I've been to,
• 5:11
  which is only three at this point,
• 5:12
  but still, there's big old signs that say,
• 5:14
  do not bring food out here.
• 5:18
  And I love it because it says, yeah,
• 5:20
  don't feed the wildlife,
• 5:22
  feed the wildlife.
• 5:23
  But then it says,
• 5:24
  for the bear's protection,
• 5:26
  which is the best part of
• 5:27
  that entire sign.
• 5:30
  Pretty sure after looking at that,
• 5:32
  the bear is not the guy
• 5:33
  that needs the protection.
• 5:34
  Just throwing that out there.
• 5:35
  I knew that beforehand, mind you,
• 5:37
  but I just kind of cemented.
• 5:39
  You know how heavy those things, dude.
• 5:41
  Yeah.
• 5:44
  Meredith says, I think if a bear wants in,
• 5:46
  they get in.
• 5:47
  I think we have proof.
• 5:48
  A hundred percent.
• 5:51
  A hundred percent.
• 5:53
  It still ultimately may have a plastic.
• 5:57
  Like it might be heavy gauge, you know,
• 6:00
  space H polymers as it was.
• 6:02
  They used to throw that shit
• 6:04
  around when I was a kid.
• 6:04
  But if a bear wants in, dude,
• 6:07
  bears don't get in.
• 6:08
  Yeah.
• 6:09
  Well, and then speaking of bears,
• 6:11
  this popped up in my memory this morning.
• 6:13
  My memories.
• 6:17
  And I just had to share it.
• 6:19
  It's a picture I took at semifinals.
• 6:21
  Twenty twenty three, I believe.
• 6:27
  Look at that beautiful man.
• 6:28
  Look at that, dude.
• 6:31
  He was on in the box office last night.
• 6:37
  Was he?
• 6:38
  He was.
• 6:40
  I don't think they were ready for Dex.
• 6:41
  I really, really don't.
• 6:44
  He was like a big brother to them,
• 6:46
  I think.
• 6:47
  And that's probably what
• 6:48
  they needed after two
• 6:49
  episodes of what they've been through.
• 6:52
  But I actually recognized
• 6:54
  Kate after last night
• 6:55
  because she told the story
• 6:56
  and how she met Dex.
• 6:58
  And I was there.
• 6:59
  And now I know why I know her.
• 7:01
  And we're going to talk
• 7:02
  about that at the end of the show.
• 7:03
  Yeah.
• 7:06
  That shirt almost doesn't look real.
• 7:07
  Like it looks like AI wrote Austin three,
• 7:10
  six, nine.
• 7:11
  It was real.
• 7:12
  I was there.
• 7:13
  Yeah, I know it is.
• 7:14
  I'm just saying.
• 7:15
  Yeah,
• 7:15
  just to share that because that was
• 7:20
  just an awesome picture I
• 7:21
  got from across the way.
• 7:24
  He's a cartoon character.
• 7:27
  Watching him reverse grip
• 7:29
  snatch at the Masters Games
• 7:31
  last year just further
• 7:34
  cemented it into my brain.
• 7:36
  He was like, yeah,
• 7:36
  I practiced that from time to time.
• 7:39
  You do what?
• 7:39
  Yeah.
• 7:43
  The guy is a twelve year old
• 7:45
  in a thirty five year old body.
• 7:47
  Absolutely.
• 7:49
  Absolutely.
• 7:51
  So anyway,
• 7:52
  just want to share some fun
• 7:53
  stuff off the top.
• 7:55
  There's not a whole lot of
• 7:56
  stuff going around in the CrossFit space.
• 7:58
  So but the reason we're here today, Mo,
• 8:01
  primarily is that if you've
• 8:04
  been following along,
• 8:07
  let me let me recap this quickly.
• 8:10
  Our very own Corey Leonard
• 8:12
  tried to compete in the
• 8:14
  qualifier for the Masters
• 8:15
  Fitness Championships.
• 8:17
  During that weekend,
• 8:18
  he was doing a workout,
• 8:19
  got halfway through, decided to quit.
• 8:23
  Never got a chance to go
• 8:24
  back and finish that workout or redo it.
• 8:27
  Because I'm in half a workout.
• 8:29
  Yep.
• 8:30
  He then submitted his workouts,
• 8:33
  was well inside the top
• 8:35
  twenty for the elite
• 8:37
  division of Masters Fitness Championships,
• 8:40
  then got an email that he
• 8:41
  used a garden pad under his
• 8:44
  head for a handstand pushup.
• 8:48
  That was illegal and has been forever.
• 8:51
  But Mr. Leonard did not read
• 8:53
  his instructions completely.
• 8:57
  Fought it, lost,
• 8:59
  and lost X number of or
• 9:02
  added time to his thing.
• 9:04
  And fell back and ended up
• 9:06
  in nineteenth place.
• 9:09
  Correct.
• 9:09
  Still within the top twenty.
• 9:12
  That part's important.
• 9:14
  Still within the top twenty.
• 9:16
  And then invites went out a
• 9:18
  week ago today for the two
• 9:22
  weeks ago today.
• 9:22
  Yeah.
• 9:23
  Two weeks ago today.
• 9:25
  And for almost thirteen for twelve days.
• 9:30
  Twelve days, maybe ish ish.
• 9:34
  Mr. Leonard heard nothing
• 9:36
  about his elite invite,
• 9:39
  even though he was within the top twenty.
• 9:42
  Correct.
• 9:45
  Corey Leonard receives an
• 9:46
  email with an invite.
• 9:51
  And what does the invite say?
• 9:54
  Congratulations.
• 9:55
  Hold on, I'm going to read it to you.
• 10:00
  You're invited.
• 10:01
  Hi, Corey Leonard.
• 10:02
  We're excited to invite you
• 10:03
  to our upcoming event,
• 10:04
  the RxMen Master's Fitness
• 10:06
  Championship in the RxMen Individuals, .
• 10:10
  so even though you finished
• 10:11
  in the top twenty and the
• 10:13
  rules and the advertisement
• 10:15
  said top twenty athletes go
• 10:18
  elite next twenty athletes
• 10:20
  go rx you finished
• 10:22
  nineteenth you got an rx
• 10:24
  invite instead of an elite
• 10:26
  invite how about that
• 10:29
  because in the rules which
• 10:31
  they have they have a rule
• 10:33
  book I got it I got it
• 10:34
  saved on my phone they
• 10:36
  reserve to write to they
• 10:37
  reserve the right to invite up to
• 10:41
  five people of their choice.
• 10:43
  And this year,
• 10:44
  they decided to invite
• 10:46
  podium finishers from last year.
• 10:49
  So when I say podium finishers,
• 10:50
  I don't mean winners.
• 10:53
  I mean winners, second place people,
• 10:56
  and third place people.
• 10:59
  Which, hey, that's what y'all want to do?
• 11:02
  Cool.
• 11:03
  That is absolutely fine.
• 11:05
  But when I asked about it, because I did,
• 11:09
  I went completely
• 11:10
  passive-aggressive and sent
• 11:12
  them a message saying, hey,
• 11:14
  I was under the impression
• 11:15
  the top-twenty win elite, next-twenty win,
• 11:18
  or X. And they said, yes, but.
• 11:24
  Which I don't feel like
• 11:25
  that's a yes-but question.
• 11:27
  Maybe that's just me.
• 11:29
  But, like, if I'm answering that question,
• 11:31
  I'm going, yep.
• 11:32
  And I'm putting out what I'm putting out.
• 11:35
  I don't have a problem with
• 11:36
  them inviting whoever they want to invite,
• 11:38
  but if that's an invite only type deal,
• 11:40
  then the top twenty still needs to go.
• 11:43
  Now you have a top twenty
• 11:44
  three or you have a twenty three,
• 11:47
  twenty three people going.
• 11:50
  In my opinion,
• 11:51
  I couldn't I could be entirely.
• 11:54
  Yeah, thanks.
• 11:55
  Look, Mike, help it.
• 11:58
  Yeah, Lido, my mouse is dead, that shitty.
• 12:06
  That should be in addition
• 12:07
  to because that's kind of messed up.
• 12:09
  Judy Dang.
• 12:10
  What?
• 12:11
  Yeah.
• 12:15
  So I think it's I think it is.
• 12:19
  Here's my issue with it.
• 12:20
  All right.
• 12:21
  is I have been to every
• 12:22
  Masters Fitness collective
• 12:25
  or championship since its inception,
• 12:28
  and as it has been held, never, ever,
• 12:32
  ever, never,
• 12:33
  ever have they had a full
• 12:34
  field of twenty athletes.
• 12:38
  When I went,
• 12:39
  we didn't have twenty in our mix.
• 12:42
  Never, ever.
• 12:46
  It is ridiculous...
• 12:49
  not to overbook because you
• 12:53
  know you know people are
• 12:55
  going to withdraw before
• 12:56
  the event and let them
• 13:03
  train for the event they're
• 13:05
  going to there's an idea there's an idea
• 13:13
  Andrew Stens,
• 13:14
  changing the rules
• 13:15
  mid-competition sounds like CrossFit HQ,
• 13:18
  even though it's MFC.
• 13:19
  I've had my beefs with MFC.
• 13:22
  I have said a lot of things
• 13:24
  on these airwaves about the
• 13:26
  way that they do things there.
• 13:28
  Thought they had buttoned it
• 13:29
  all up over the last couple years.
• 13:34
  But they're not the, and let's be honest,
• 13:36
  they're not the only ones
• 13:37
  who play this game.
• 13:38
  No, not at all.
• 13:40
  Legends does the same thing.
• 13:41
  Legends has their, and they'll tell you,
• 13:43
  but I already know.
• 13:45
  Scott, I'm going to Monster Games.
• 13:48
  I qualified in fourth for their qualifier,
• 13:52
  July the twenty-fifth, next month.
• 13:54
  If I win Monster Games,
• 13:56
  I get an automatic bid to Legends.
• 13:58
  But I know that now.
• 14:00
  I knew that last year when I
• 14:02
  went and was talking to
• 14:03
  people over there because
• 14:04
  they were advertising, hey,
• 14:05
  if you win Monster Games,
• 14:07
  like a winner in two
• 14:07
  Monster Games gets an automatic bid.
• 14:09
  Top three people at the
• 14:11
  CrossFit Games in my age group,
• 14:13
  I think it's top three,
• 14:15
  get an automatic invite.
• 14:18
  So when the qualifiers start next week,
• 14:21
  I already know all that.
• 14:24
  It's out there.
• 14:24
  It's in front.
• 14:26
  They say it often.
• 14:27
  It's not just once.
• 14:29
  So like,
• 14:29
  I know when I'm looking at the
• 14:30
  leaderboard, when it populates,
• 14:32
  as they're going through video review,
• 14:34
  okay,
• 14:34
  this is about where I need to be to
• 14:35
  make sure that I get my
• 14:36
  invite like I did last year.
• 14:39
  And I'm cool.
• 14:40
  I'm fantastic with that.
• 14:42
  And like I've told you,
• 14:44
  like I've told anybody who will listen,
• 14:46
  I am aware that for this
• 14:48
  particular qualifier,
• 14:49
  I shot myself in the foot more than once.
• 14:53
  And yet still,
• 14:55
  managed to, despite my best efforts,
• 14:57
  still managed to end up
• 14:58
  inside the top twenty.
• 15:00
  And I just got an RX invite.
• 15:04
  They invited people who did
• 15:05
  not even do the qualifier.
• 15:07
  That blows my mind.
• 15:12
  So I do want to go.
• 15:13
  Is there any way they could
• 15:14
  bump you up to elite once
• 15:15
  they realize you don't have a full field?
• 15:18
  That happens all the time.
• 15:20
  But.
• 15:23
  is corey going to make plans
• 15:26
  to go rx and pay for a
• 15:28
  hotel pay for a flight pay
• 15:30
  for all these things for
• 15:31
  the rx division he would in
• 15:33
  the elite division and
• 15:37
  understand I where we met
• 15:39
  was the masters fitness
• 15:42
  collective at the time you
• 15:44
  have been there almost
• 15:46
  every year that I've been there
• 15:49
  Have you ever seen a full
• 15:51
  division of elite athletes?
• 15:56
  Because I don't remember
• 15:57
  seeing a single one that
• 16:00
  was a full elite athlete field.
• 16:06
  I'm curious what he says.
• 16:07
  Because they do have the
• 16:08
  ability to bump you up.
• 16:10
  It's effective.
• 16:11
  You're probably saying, oh,
• 16:12
  it's not worth me traveling
• 16:13
  all the way to Indiana to
• 16:16
  do an RX competition.
• 16:17
  I'm not.
• 16:22
  I'm going to tell you right now,
• 16:24
  to answer Halpin's question, yeah,
• 16:27
  I got until the third.
• 16:29
  Is there a deadline for elites to accept?
• 16:32
  Well, I don't know about elites.
• 16:33
  I think all of that's already done.
• 16:35
  That's why RX went out.
• 16:36
  I talked to a buddy of mine who's in RX.
• 16:38
  And this doesn't even happen until, what,
• 16:40
  October?
• 16:41
  Yeah.
• 16:43
  So by the time October rolls around,
• 16:46
  five of them don't want to go.
• 16:49
  And they're going to leave to now,
• 16:51
  you last minute to get airfare, hotel,
• 16:55
  all that stuff to get you there.
• 17:01
  So to answer, we'll train to all of there,
• 17:06
  but actually both questions.
• 17:10
  Also with these automatic invites,
• 17:12
  have they already accepted
• 17:13
  or are they assuming they will accept?
• 17:15
  So from my conversations with them,
• 17:20
  those invites and then
• 17:21
  those backfill invites go
• 17:23
  out first and then they go to RX.
• 17:27
  And I'm pretty well
• 17:28
  confirmed that yesterday
• 17:29
  because I sent the same
• 17:30
  thing I sent you to a buddy
• 17:31
  of mine who did the
• 17:32
  qualifier finish like in
• 17:34
  the twenty fifth or something like that.
• 17:35
  He also got his invite for RX yesterday.
• 17:38
  So to my knowledge, it's done.
• 17:43
  Like the elite part of it is done.
• 17:46
  including people who at
• 17:49
  least one of them didn't
• 17:50
  even bother you to qualify.
• 17:52
  One of them did half of the
• 17:53
  qualifier and stopped.
• 17:55
  But because he's on the podium last year,
• 17:57
  he gets an invite.
• 18:01
  Yeah.
• 18:03
  And I'm not mad at those
• 18:04
  people by any stretch of imagination.
• 18:06
  I'm not mad at anybody.
• 18:08
  I just think the whole thing
• 18:08
  is ridiculous.
• 18:10
  Kenneth,
• 18:11
  to answer your question about payouts,
• 18:13
  I don't think any of the
• 18:14
  Masters competitions have
• 18:15
  paid out other than the
• 18:17
  Games and Waterpalooza.
• 18:19
  Yeah, not to my knowledge.
• 18:23
  I don't do it for a payout.
• 18:25
  I'm not going to compete for a payout.
• 18:27
  I'm going to compete to get
• 18:29
  more competition experience
• 18:30
  against elite-level
• 18:32
  competition so that I am
• 18:34
  more prepared and better
• 18:35
  for when I eventually make the Games.
• 18:40
  Trent Olive says, that's ridiculous.
• 18:42
  They should at least have to
• 18:43
  do the qualifier, in my opinion.
• 18:50
  Or sign up for it.
• 18:52
  Well, like,
• 18:53
  let's look at the elite division, right?
• 18:55
  NorCal Classic.
• 18:56
  Colton won last year.
• 18:58
  It is typical that the past
• 19:01
  year's winner gets an automatic invite,
• 19:04
  but that's no guarantee.
• 19:05
  So he did the qualifier just in case.
• 19:14
  The qualifier for Legends
• 19:16
  starts on the first, so like next week.
• 19:21
  Competition's on the twenty-fifth.
• 19:23
  So I will already know,
• 19:26
  chance of it or not,
• 19:27
  I don't know how fast the
• 19:29
  leaderboard's going to come out,
• 19:29
  but chance of it or not,
• 19:30
  I'm going to know when I
• 19:31
  qualify for Legends before
• 19:32
  I even go to Monster Games.
• 19:34
  But that doesn't mean that
• 19:35
  the invite hasn't gone out yet.
• 19:36
  Does that make sense?
• 19:37
  Like one thing's happening
• 19:38
  before the other one,
• 19:39
  and it's going to affect the other one,
• 19:40
  but I'm still doing it.
• 19:43
  Even if I had,
• 19:46
  even if I knew I already had a game spot,
• 19:49
  I'm still doing it.
• 19:50
  I'm still doing a qualifier.
• 19:52
  If for no other reason than
• 19:53
  the fact that I want to earn my way there,
• 19:55
  regardless of what else happened.
• 19:57
  If I don't have to pay for
• 19:58
  my registration fee because
• 20:00
  I happen to win monster games,
• 20:02
  two thumbs way, way up.
• 20:03
  But that doesn't stop me
• 20:05
  from doing a qualifier by
• 20:06
  any stretch of the imagination.
• 20:07
  So, yeah.
• 20:12
  uh judy reed seems
• 20:13
  unprofessional I think that
• 20:17
  that's been our argument
• 20:18
  with a lot of competitions
• 20:19
  over time not just this one
• 20:23
  but um yeah and I and I
• 20:28
  have picked on them a lot
• 20:29
  in the past and I'm not
• 20:30
  trying to pick on them here
• 20:32
  they're just an example of
• 20:33
  how things roll without
• 20:34
  communication and it makes
• 20:36
  it very very frustrating um
• 20:41
  like you said everybody
• 20:42
  knows that legends invites
• 20:44
  back winners from last year
• 20:48
  and games winners I think
• 20:51
  it's up to I think it's
• 20:52
  it's like five spots so
• 20:54
  it's the if you can win and
• 20:55
  there's a competition in
• 20:56
  mexico you get a spot
• 20:59
  there's a comp there's
• 21:00
  monster games you win
• 21:01
  monster games you get a
• 21:02
  spot and I think it's top
• 21:03
  three at the games you get a spot
• 21:07
  instead of well that's ncc
• 21:09
  well that's mfc yeah just
• 21:12
  like norcal oh it's norcal
• 21:15
  yeah one and I think what's
• 21:18
  frustrating for me is it's
• 21:20
  a really cool venue up
• 21:21
  there one it's super easy
• 21:24
  for me to get to I actually
• 21:25
  love driving up there and
• 21:28
  supporting the masters athletes
• 21:30
  They're trying to become
• 21:32
  part of the season in some way.
• 21:35
  And this year,
• 21:35
  they're testing out
• 21:37
  two-person teams to see if
• 21:40
  that is a viable option to
• 21:42
  be an option for teams for the games.
• 21:48
  You can't pull shit like
• 21:49
  this and then try to be a
• 21:51
  part of the game season.
• 21:54
  You can, and people have.
• 21:58
  If you're trying to put your
• 21:59
  best foot forward,
• 22:00
  this is not the way to do it.
• 22:03
  No.
• 22:03
  And I'm willing to bet it's not just me.
• 22:06
  I just happen to have a
• 22:07
  platform to talk about it, right?
• 22:10
  Yeah.
• 22:10
  Because it's happening.
• 22:11
  I'm sure it's anybody that
• 22:13
  ended up where they thought
• 22:15
  they were and now all of a
• 22:16
  sudden they're actually not.
• 22:21
  Because I only got to worry about me.
• 22:25
  obviously.
• 22:26
  And it sucks for everybody
• 22:27
  else that's in that spot.
• 22:29
  I put, I dug my own hole.
• 22:31
  If I would have finished
• 22:32
  like I am capable of,
• 22:34
  we wouldn't even be having
• 22:35
  this conversation,
• 22:37
  but I also wouldn't know any of this.
• 22:38
  Does that make sense?
• 22:40
  Like I wouldn't know.
• 22:43
  I wouldn't know any, any of that.
• 22:44
  I would just be a garden pad
• 22:47
  under your head.
• 22:48
  Yeah.
• 22:53
  Lito's got a huge point.
• 22:55
  Invites only benefit the event.
• 22:57
  Qualifying athletes hate them,
• 23:00
  and the invited more often
• 23:02
  than not don't end up going.
• 23:05
  It benefits the event
• 23:06
  because there's a chance
• 23:07
  some big name is going to accept.
• 23:10
  And that,
• 23:11
  I don't want to say never happens.
• 23:13
  In my experience with
• 23:15
  Masters Fitness Championship,
• 23:17
  the big names go team.
• 23:20
  They view it as a go hang
• 23:23
  out with my friends, do a team event,
• 23:27
  have some fun, and do it up.
• 23:32
  The individual events are
• 23:34
  for the up-and-coming
• 23:35
  Masters athletes who are
• 23:37
  trying to see where they
• 23:38
  fit in this world and
• 23:40
  whether or not they can
• 23:42
  make a run at like a game
• 23:44
  spot or a legend spot.
• 23:47
  Because to be quite frankly...
• 23:50
  The tier goes games, legends, MFC.
• 23:55
  And Wadapalooza is a quirky
• 23:57
  little thing with only six
• 23:59
  or five events that doesn't
• 24:01
  really even fit in the mix anymore.
• 24:05
  And they only take like five
• 24:07
  athletes anyway.
• 24:08
  It's a small number for sure.
• 24:10
  And for what it costs and
• 24:12
  for what it costs to get
• 24:13
  there and stay there in
• 24:14
  Miami and all of that,
• 24:16
  it's not something I'm interested in.
• 24:17
  I might do the qualifiers
• 24:18
  this year if I got time.
• 24:20
  just because their
• 24:22
  qualifying workouts usually
• 24:23
  look pretty fun and be cool
• 24:25
  to just kind of see where
• 24:25
  I'm at on that leaderboard,
• 24:26
  but I'm not going.
• 24:27
  All right, guys,
• 24:28
  we can stop passing the time.
• 24:30
  We can get into the real
• 24:30
  stuff now because Jody is here.
• 24:40
  All this does is light more
• 24:42
  of a fire under my ass,
• 24:43
  like I told you yesterday or this morning,
• 24:44
  whenever that was.
• 24:47
  to just put my,
• 24:48
  put my head down and just be smarter.
• 24:51
  First of all,
• 24:53
  which my dumb cool ass is
• 24:55
  going to take a little bit,
• 24:56
  but be smarter, be more patient.
• 24:58
  When I get shit like that,
• 24:59
  make sure I read everything
• 25:00
  through and just throw
• 25:03
  myself into the things that
• 25:04
  I've already got on my plate.
• 25:06
  Even that much more.
• 25:07
  I mean, it is.
• 25:09
  So the twenty fifth was two days ago.
• 25:12
  So I got, I got less than a month, uh,
• 25:14
  Before I go to Kansas,
• 25:17
  I took kind of a deload week this week.
• 25:18
  So next week,
• 25:19
  we're going to start ramping back up,
• 25:20
  getting ready for that.
• 25:22
  And then it would have to be right now.
• 25:29
  If Corey ended up getting an elite invite,
• 25:31
  how far out would it need
• 25:32
  to be for him to go?
• 25:35
  It would need to be right now.
• 25:38
  I mean, bottom line,
• 25:39
  it would have to be right now.
• 25:41
  And honestly,
• 25:43
  if for whatever reason they were like, oh,
• 25:45
  we accidentally sent you an
• 25:47
  RX one instead of... I'm still not going.
• 25:49
  I'm just not.
• 25:51
  The whole thing has... And I had a blast.
• 25:56
  when I went two years ago.
• 25:58
  I had a fan.
• 26:01
  You had like the best roommate possible.
• 26:03
  I had a fantastic roommate show up.
• 26:07
  We did some podcasting.
• 26:09
  I met a badass group of dudes.
• 26:13
  I got to watch Rudy and them
• 26:16
  like go at it and absolutely smash stuff.
• 26:19
  I got to watch Lynette.
• 26:21
  The reads were there cheering me on.
• 26:23
  That was awesome.
• 26:24
  uh will plumber losing his
• 26:26
  mind watching me uh do
• 26:28
  stuff he almost threw up a
• 26:30
  couple times watching me on
• 26:31
  the sandbag you got you got
• 26:32
  an eight minute vignette
• 26:33
  made of you I got an eight
• 26:35
  minute um like I couldn't
• 26:37
  have asked for a better
• 26:38
  time and honestly right up
• 26:40
  until it went sideways like
• 26:43
  I was really kind of
• 26:44
  looking forward like all
• 26:45
  right I guess I'm gonna go back
• 26:47
  So you've watched the Lydia
• 26:49
  Fish behind the scenes.
• 26:51
  No, I have not.
• 26:52
  I have not had an opportunity to.
• 26:54
  I will.
• 26:55
  It's on my list.
• 26:55
  It starts with Perrin
• 26:57
  reading the instructions
• 26:59
  for like the seventy third time.
• 27:03
  And that's the only part you
• 27:04
  need to watch.
• 27:05
  Yeah.
• 27:05
  I'm just going to check that out.
• 27:06
  Just watch the first.
• 27:07
  Just watch the first five
• 27:08
  minutes a couple times.
• 27:10
  It's a hammer at home.
• 27:14
  Because things changed from
• 27:16
  the initial release to when
• 27:18
  they were doing the workout.
• 27:20
  And she caught it.
• 27:21
  And thank goodness she caught it.
• 27:26
  There's some great pictures.
• 27:28
  Yeah, a hundred percent, dude.
• 27:30
  That sucks, but lessons learned.
• 27:32
  And on to the next one.
• 27:34
  I don't lose, Scott.
• 27:36
  I've told you this a hundred times.
• 27:37
  We either win or we learn.
• 27:41
  There's no in between.
• 27:43
  As far as that goes,
• 27:44
  I can't lose because I won't quit one.
• 27:46
  And we either learn or we win.
• 27:49
  And sometimes we win and we
• 27:51
  learn that no two things
• 27:52
  don't necessarily competing
• 27:54
  because I either won or
• 27:55
  beat the hell out of myself.
• 28:00
  I got great pictures from
• 28:02
  twenty twenty three.
• 28:04
  I have a hilarious video of
• 28:05
  me trying to do crossover
• 28:07
  single owners and skier at a
• 28:10
  Just ended up being comical
• 28:11
  by the end of it.
• 28:12
  I was laughing.
• 28:13
  I really was because I was like,
• 28:14
  this is so stupid.
• 28:15
  You know what I did this morning?
• 28:17
  Crossover single under.
• 28:18
  It was part of my program.
• 28:20
  And guess what?
• 28:21
  I did fifty unbroken twice
• 28:23
  in the middle of the workout.
• 28:26
  Cause I have video of you not doing it.
• 28:28
  Oh God.
• 28:28
  Yes.
• 28:29
  God.
• 28:29
  Yeah.
• 28:30
  Lots and lots.
• 28:31
  Great about that.
• 28:32
  I watched that.
• 28:32
  I watched that again, not that long ago.
• 28:34
  And there's more video of,
• 28:35
  or at least I feel like there is,
• 28:37
  I have no idea what the time, uh,
• 28:38
  the timeframe is,
• 28:39
  but there's more video of
• 28:41
  that particular thing than
• 28:42
  there is of anything else.
• 28:45
  And I think when I made,
• 28:47
  when I made you the stuff, like I cut it,
• 28:50
  like I cut out a lot of the blunders.
• 28:55
  Yeah, it was bad.
• 28:57
  I got to meet Lana, who was awesome.
• 29:00
  She was.
• 29:04
  On a positive note,
• 29:07
  Raylan was announced as the
• 29:08
  grip sponsor for the Masters Games again.
• 29:11
  Got my free grips in the
• 29:12
  post already today.
• 29:15
  Nice.
• 29:17
  Nice.
• 29:18
  I love free stuff.
• 29:21
  It's awesome.
• 29:21
  Free stuff I actually want to use.
• 29:24
  So I wanted to talk about
• 29:29
  some other stuff while I have you here.
• 29:33
  Yes, sir.
• 29:33
  Yesterday,
• 29:34
  we broke the news that water's wet,
• 29:36
  the sky's blue,
• 29:37
  and Tia Clare Toomey is
• 29:39
  doing the games again.
• 29:40
  Yeah.
• 29:44
  I did a poll.
• 29:44
  Very official.
• 29:46
  Very official.
• 29:52
  Are you excited that Tia
• 29:54
  Claire Toomey or is going
• 29:55
  after her eighth title at
• 29:57
  the CrossFit Games this year?
• 30:00
  I'll go ahead and share the
• 30:01
  results of that.
• 30:07
  And so I got absolutely seventy percent.
• 30:13
  Can't take it another year at six percent.
• 30:17
  And it really doesn't matter to me.
• 30:18
  Twenty five percent.
• 30:21
  Don't do the math because
• 30:22
  that comes out to one
• 30:23
  hundred one percent.
• 30:24
  So I don't know what kind of
• 30:25
  math YouTube's using,
• 30:26
  but I'm guessing it's a rounding thing.
• 30:30
  I was really surprised at this response.
• 30:35
  What did you expect?
• 30:37
  I thought that the can't
• 30:39
  take it another year would
• 30:40
  be much higher.
• 30:41
  Would be higher than six percent.
• 30:44
  Yeah.
• 30:45
  I feel like it's a it's an
• 30:48
  all or nothing type deal.
• 30:49
  Like people either don't give a shit.
• 30:51
  Or they're like, yep, can't wait to go.
• 30:53
  Or they just enjoy watching.
• 30:54
  They're Patriots fans.
• 30:56
  They just enjoy watching
• 30:57
  domination after domination
• 30:58
  after domination.
• 31:01
  I did get two comments.
• 31:04
  And the first one is from Mr. Ryan State.
• 31:08
  She's eligible,
• 31:09
  proved her fitness at Torian.
• 31:10
  So the novelty this year
• 31:11
  will be how High Rocks has
• 31:13
  helped or hindered her competitive edge.
• 31:16
  And then Chris Love said,
• 31:18
  women's field was going to
• 31:19
  be an exciting race this
• 31:22
  race because it was anyone's game.
• 31:25
  We didn't know who was going
• 31:26
  to be the fittest on earth.
• 31:27
  Now it is just going to be
• 31:28
  another boring year
• 31:29
  watching the Tia show.
• 31:30
  I bet I know what he voted.
• 31:39
  Yeah.
• 31:39
  So.
• 31:42
  I'm somewhere between.
• 31:43
  Go ahead.
• 31:45
  train, train all of, honestly,
• 31:47
  I was over to you a few years ago,
• 31:49
  but I voted absolutely to
• 31:51
  see if she can do it,
• 31:52
  especially with all the
• 31:53
  high rocks training she's been doing.
• 31:58
  I, okay.
• 32:01
  I'm glad you said that
• 32:02
  because I've been over to
• 32:03
  you for a while.
• 32:05
  The year that she was
• 32:06
  pregnant and didn't go to
• 32:07
  the games was the most fun
• 32:09
  I had watching the female
• 32:11
  division in the last eight
• 32:14
  years because you didn't
• 32:17
  know who was going to win.
• 32:18
  Right.
• 32:21
  And you had Emma Lawson out
• 32:23
  in the lead for a long while.
• 32:24
  You had Laura trying to make
• 32:26
  the comeback after the handstand pushups.
• 32:28
  You had a lot going on in that cross.
• 32:32
  Then that's the year that
• 32:33
  Ariel took third.
• 32:35
  Yeah,
• 32:35
  I want to say there was like four
• 32:36
  different lead changes,
• 32:37
  four or five different lead changes.
• 32:39
  People were in the lead
• 32:39
  jersey on the women's side.
• 32:41
  Like it was... Raptus had it for a minute.
• 32:43
  Yeah.
• 32:45
  It was not insignificant is
• 32:46
  what I'm saying.
• 32:46
  Like it wasn't just like a
• 32:47
  two-person race or anything like that.
• 32:49
  Like it went... But... It
• 32:51
  bounced around a bit.
• 32:52
  But if someone beats her this year,
• 32:56
  you know how much more
• 32:57
  that's going to mean to that person?
• 32:59
  Oh, God, yes.
• 33:01
  Than winning it with her not there.
• 33:04
  Well, it's the old,
• 33:06
  if you want to be the best,
• 33:07
  you got to beat the best, right?
• 33:08
  Right.
• 33:10
  So, like, the first year Justin wins.
• 33:14
  Cool, somebody won who's not Matt,
• 33:16
  but Matt also wasn't there.
• 33:18
  Well,
• 33:19
  and it's like Ben winning after Rich.
• 33:20
  Rich retired.
• 33:22
  Nobody ever beat Rich except
• 33:24
  for Graham Holmberg.
• 33:26
  And that was once.
• 33:27
  And that was the first one,
• 33:29
  and then he didn't lose again.
• 33:31
  Yeah.
• 33:33
  And so, like...
• 33:35
  But the thing that's
• 33:36
  tainting it now is Alex
• 33:38
  Kazan had one of the best
• 33:40
  shots at going after her.
• 33:43
  Yeah.
• 33:44
  And she's not going to be a
• 33:45
  hundred percent.
• 33:46
  Yeah.
• 33:47
  Not a rock fell on her truck.
• 33:49
  Like I am having said that
• 33:53
  I'm also interested to see
• 33:55
  what Alex is actually going
• 33:55
  to do now or be able to do now with it.
• 33:59
  We're what?
• 33:59
  Thirty five days out.
• 34:03
  Thirty two days out.
• 34:04
  Something like that.
• 34:06
  Yeah, it's not much.
• 34:07
  It's not much at all.
• 34:10
  So I am extremely curious as
• 34:11
  to see what's actually
• 34:13
  going to happen as far as
• 34:14
  that is concerned.
• 34:16
  Jody Lynn, I thought we were friends.
• 34:19
  The only thing keeping the
• 34:20
  women's comp alive is
• 34:21
  seeing what Gazan can do.
• 34:23
  I think there are a lot of
• 34:25
  great athletes in the female division.
• 34:28
  I think there's a great future.
• 34:31
  I think Emma Lawson, Alexis Raptus,
• 34:36
  Alex Kazan.
• 34:37
  And then you have these youngins coming up,
• 34:40
  like the Lydia Fishes,
• 34:41
  like the Reese Littlewoods.
• 34:44
  I can't see her face.
• 34:48
  I can't think of her name.
• 34:52
  The women's field, Tia aside,
• 34:55
  is wide open and looks promising,
• 34:59
  like you said,
• 35:00
  for the next five to ten years.
• 35:01
  Like,
• 35:02
  there's going to be some
• 35:04
  absolute animals coming up third.
• 35:12
  Yeah, but none going to beat Tia.
• 35:17
  Here's what I've been saying for years.
• 35:19
  What happened at the High
• 35:20
  Rocks World Championships
• 35:23
  could very easily happen at
• 35:25
  the games again.
• 35:27
  She could get sick.
• 35:29
  She could get injured.
• 35:31
  Things can happen.
• 35:32
  that are outside of her
• 35:34
  control to do it for eight
• 35:36
  years is absurd without an
• 35:38
  injury at the games,
• 35:40
  without getting sick at the games.
• 35:41
  And maybe she has been,
• 35:43
  and maybe she's fought through it,
• 35:45
  but we don't know.
• 35:48
  And then just to stay
• 35:49
  healthy enough to compete
• 35:52
  at the level she's at.
• 35:56
  it's a miracle in and of itself.
• 35:58
  No major injury.
• 35:59
  She hasn't torn anything.
• 36:00
  She hasn't really pulled anything.
• 36:02
  You know what I mean?
• 36:03
  There's nothing that's kept her out.
• 36:05
  The only thing that's kept
• 36:05
  her out is pregnancy.
• 36:10
  Having Willow kept her out of games.
• 36:14
  This is a great... Sitting
• 36:17
  back and actually thinking about it,
• 36:18
  Halpin makes a great point.
• 36:20
  Because we don't know about no Alex.
• 36:23
  We may have half an Alex.
• 36:26
  But then no Gabby, no Rolf, no Laura,
• 36:28
  no Emma.
• 36:29
  There are still some great
• 36:30
  athletes wrapped as Danielle,
• 36:31
  but Tia seems like she
• 36:34
  could go wire to wire and
• 36:36
  do meet and greets after every event.
• 36:40
  It is a decimated field this
• 36:42
  year because of... Right.
• 36:47
  But... I don't know.
• 36:50
  I got this gut thing about
• 36:52
  Ariel having a good year this year.
• 36:56
  But...
• 36:57
  I think even Ariel would
• 36:58
  tell you she's not on Tia's level.
• 36:59
  Yeah.
• 37:02
  I think most of them would tell you.
• 37:08
  They see her and they go, go.
• 37:09
  And I think that's what
• 37:10
  we're going to miss this
• 37:11
  year because Laura would
• 37:13
  tell you she's on Tia's level.
• 37:15
  Laura would frantically
• 37:17
  proclaim she's on Tia's level.
• 37:21
  She may not be in our opinion,
• 37:23
  but in her mind, she is.
• 37:25
  And you need some women that
• 37:26
  believe they are.
• 37:28
  Yes, I was about to say that.
• 37:29
  If you don't believe you're
• 37:31
  that good or you're that
• 37:32
  worthy or you're that whatever,
• 37:35
  then you've already lost
• 37:37
  before you ever step on the field.
• 37:38
  You need to know that when I get out there,
• 37:41
  I'm the baddest person on this, on this,
• 37:44
  you know, whatever, on this field,
• 37:46
  on this field.
• 37:47
  um if you don't if you're
• 37:49
  not going into that if
• 37:49
  you're going into a mindset
• 37:51
  of well I'm going to just
• 37:52
  try to chase her the entire
• 37:54
  week you're already you're
• 37:57
  already you're already lost
• 37:58
  points lucy campbell's who
• 37:59
  I was trying to think of so
• 38:00
  lito says lucy campbell she
• 38:02
  literally beat laura super
• 38:03
  excited to see what she can
• 38:04
  do I adore lucy campbell
• 38:07
  adore her but wadapalooza
• 38:12
  was six events yeah
• 38:17
  games you're talking nine or
• 38:18
  ten I think it's just a
• 38:20
  different type of a
• 38:21
  competition but it was
• 38:24
  awesome seeing her go
• 38:26
  toe-to-toe with laura on
• 38:27
  the final event at
• 38:28
  waterpalooza and take the
• 38:30
  win not get the win but
• 38:33
  actually grab it lucy's
• 38:40
  sweet as well and doesn't
• 38:42
  like she's unassuming in my opinion like
• 38:45
  kind of reminds me like a
• 38:46
  ben smith type you would
• 38:47
  look at her and go really
• 38:48
  that girl yeah that girl
• 38:50
  she's fit dude uh andrew
• 38:55
  stenn uh someone can catch
• 38:57
  lightning in a bottle no
• 38:58
  one thought the had a
• 39:01
  chance against the a's but
• 39:02
  they swept them only
• 39:04
  because they got through
• 39:05
  the pirates before they got
• 39:06
  there and shouldn't have um
• 39:13
  Jody, oh, Ariel's going to the games?
• 39:15
  Yes, she is.
• 39:16
  Yes, she is.
• 39:18
  Ken Walters, both sides,
• 39:20
  a whole new generation of
• 39:21
  exciting athletes.
• 39:30
  Ken also wants you to get ten.
• 39:32
  While now getting a couple
• 39:33
  of High Rocks titles as well,
• 39:35
  it's generational athlete,
• 39:37
  and I want to see it go.
• 39:40
  Okay.
• 39:42
  But that ruins Carolyn's marketing plan.
• 39:46
  The eight on its side for Toomey.
• 39:49
  And it forms the infinity.
• 39:51
  And then she's forever the goat.
• 39:55
  She's already forever the goat, dude.
• 40:00
  She took a year off.
• 40:02
  Had a baby.
• 40:04
  Came back, not just qualified.
• 40:08
  Wanted.
• 40:10
  Circumstances aside, like...
• 40:12
  still want, you can't argue with that.
• 40:15
  Like, I don't want to take rich, take Matt,
• 40:19
  take, there is nobody else.
• 40:21
  Nope.
• 40:21
  Nope.
• 40:22
  All right.
• 40:28
  So that's enough for the Tia talk.
• 40:32
  Yeah,
• 40:33
  there's people in here saying keep going,
• 40:34
  keep going.
• 40:34
  Some say stop at eight.
• 40:37
  Jody looking for a room
• 40:38
  right now in Albany.
• 40:41
  I got screwed out of my
• 40:42
  Airbnb in Albany and I'm really ticked.
• 40:45
  I thought that was wrapped up.
• 40:49
  I made the reservation on my
• 40:51
  debit card that got stolen.
• 40:55
  So they tried to charge it and couldn't.
• 40:57
  So I lost the room.
• 40:59
  Now I'm in scramble mode.
• 41:02
  That's terrible.
• 41:03
  Just found that out a few hours ago.
• 41:07
  Fun stuff.
• 41:08
  Um, let me see.
• 41:14
  Last thing is I told you at
• 41:15
  the beginning of the show,
• 41:17
  I was watching decks on in
• 41:19
  the box office with Kate and Maisley.
• 41:23
  I can't pronounce her name,
• 41:24
  but I believe you.
• 41:27
  Um,
• 41:29
  And I knew that Kate looked familiar,
• 41:30
  and I couldn't figure out why.
• 41:33
  And the one year that... Before I go on,
• 41:38
  I saw this.
• 41:39
  Jay Burch need to make my
• 41:40
  reservation to Columbus.
• 41:42
  Just remember,
• 41:42
  there's a whole list of
• 41:43
  hotels on the website for
• 41:49
  Legends for the Masters CrossFit Games.
• 41:52
  And they're trying to get a
• 41:53
  collaboration with...
• 41:55
  the um city of columbus and
• 41:59
  the only way they can get
• 42:01
  in for like numbers to say
• 42:03
  how many people are coming
• 42:04
  to columbus for this event
• 42:06
  is to book rooms in those
• 42:08
  hotels they have like
• 42:10
  options available on that on that website
• 42:16
  So they're begging people to
• 42:19
  make their reservations at
• 42:20
  one of those fifteen so
• 42:22
  they can go back to the
• 42:22
  city in Columbus and say,
• 42:24
  we brought this many people to town.
• 42:28
  That's a solid idea.
• 42:30
  Because they're trying to
• 42:31
  work with the chamber and
• 42:32
  all of that to get more
• 42:34
  benefits for the athletes, for the crowd.
• 42:38
  Yeah.
• 42:40
  And for the future, right?
• 42:41
  But hey,
• 42:41
  we want to do this again next year,
• 42:43
  et cetera, et cetera.
• 42:44
  Yeah, that's awesome.
• 42:46
  Is Birch judging?
• 42:48
  Birch, are you judging at the games?
• 42:52
  The games in Albany also is a hotel site,
• 42:56
  if you're still looking.
• 43:04
  I knew Kate because the one
• 43:06
  year I worked the games
• 43:07
  with Morning Chalk Up,
• 43:09
  she was brought on as a runner.
• 43:12
  to run cards, stuff back and forth,
• 43:15
  and to download them,
• 43:16
  and then to bring them back
• 43:17
  to people shooting and
• 43:20
  videoing and all of that kind of stuff.
• 43:23
  But it brought back the most
• 43:24
  traumatic experience of my
• 43:26
  life and why I never worked
• 43:27
  another day for the morning
• 43:28
  chalk up after those games.
• 43:32
  Fair.
• 43:33
  I did interviews that year
• 43:36
  with Colton Mertens before
• 43:40
  he was the Iron Hog.
• 43:42
  talking about I got him
• 43:44
  right after he got cut and
• 43:46
  I and I and I said it was
• 43:48
  sitting as us two on a box
• 43:50
  with the morning chalk up
• 43:51
  logos behind us and talking
• 43:54
  to him about what what what
• 43:57
  was his plan what how did
• 43:59
  he feel all this kind of
• 44:00
  stuff and he was talking
• 44:00
  about how he had worked so
• 44:02
  hard to make the games that
• 44:04
  he never worked on the
• 44:05
  stuff that would help him at the games
• 44:08
  And so he's going to have to
• 44:09
  flip his training.
• 44:09
  And we had a great
• 44:10
  conversation about all of that.
• 44:12
  They lost it.
• 44:15
  I talked to a volunteer who
• 44:17
  was an alcoholic who had
• 44:18
  overcome alcoholism through
• 44:20
  CrossFit and became a
• 44:22
  volunteer because it saved her life.
• 44:25
  And now she goes to event
• 44:26
  after event after event.
• 44:28
  And she's been sober for like five years.
• 44:30
  They lost it.
• 44:35
  I interviewed Christy Aramos
• 44:37
  PT on why she comes to the
• 44:39
  games and how she works
• 44:41
  with athletes during the
• 44:42
  games to keep them going
• 44:44
  and moving and all of this stuff.
• 44:46
  Lost it.
• 44:50
  Then I interviewed Ellie Turner.
• 44:52
  Who was stuck here because
• 44:54
  it was twenty twenty one.
• 44:56
  COVID was was just going on
• 44:59
  going on and the Olympics
• 45:02
  were happening at the same time.
• 45:03
  And because Australia was
• 45:05
  only allowing so many
• 45:06
  people back in the country at a time,
• 45:08
  she was stranded.
• 45:11
  And we talked about all that
• 45:12
  and how Michelle LaTondra
• 45:14
  was giving her a place to
• 45:15
  stay until she could get
• 45:17
  back to Australia.
• 45:19
  But she was basically,
• 45:20
  this is all like pre-Justin,
• 45:23
  pre-all of that,
• 45:25
  and how she was stuck here.
• 45:26
  They didn't lose that one.
• 45:28
  For some reason,
• 45:30
  they didn't lose that interview.
• 45:36
  And I asked them,
• 45:37
  because I said anything you
• 45:39
  don't put up yourself,
• 45:41
  I would love to put up on my own channel.
• 45:43
  Yeah.
• 45:44
  And that's when they lost them.
• 45:48
  Oh, no, I don't have them.
• 45:51
  I'm sorry.
• 45:51
  I also almost got kicked out
• 45:53
  of the CrossFit Games
• 45:54
  before they even really
• 45:55
  started because I didn't
• 45:57
  know what I was doing.
• 46:00
  I chased Scott Pancheck back
• 46:02
  through the tunnel off of
• 46:04
  the outdoor course.
• 46:07
  Yeah.
• 46:07
  Orange Park.
• 46:09
  North Park.
• 46:11
  I chased him through the
• 46:12
  tunnel back towards the
• 46:14
  where the ice tubs and all
• 46:15
  that kind of stuff are
• 46:16
  asking him because it was
• 46:18
  supposed to be his final
• 46:18
  games and get like his
• 46:21
  feeling of being out on the
• 46:22
  floor and his final games and blah, blah,
• 46:23
  blah.
• 46:24
  And had a great interview.
• 46:25
  And they actually did air that one.
• 46:27
  But as I'm done,
• 46:28
  I got hit on the back by
• 46:29
  security and going,
• 46:30
  you're not allowed back here.
• 46:34
  If you're not here again,
• 46:35
  I'm going to have to throw you out.
• 46:36
  Okay.
• 46:37
  Can I please do what I'm doing first?
• 46:38
  Then I'll move myself.
• 46:39
  You don't even have to worry
• 46:40
  about throwing me out.
• 46:41
  During the Masters portion of that games,
• 46:44
  we were allowed all over
• 46:45
  the place back there.
• 46:46
  We were interviewing people in the clubs.
• 46:48
  We were interviewing people everywhere.
• 46:50
  Then the minute the elites hit the floor,
• 46:52
  not allowed back there anymore.
• 46:54
  You can't think, oh,
• 46:55
  midweek and expect me to know.
• 46:58
  No.
• 46:59
  Nobody gives a damn about us, Scott.
• 47:01
  And that's all you need to
• 47:02
  know right there.
• 47:03
  It's like, oh,
• 47:03
  the old people are back there.
• 47:05
  Yeah, I know.
• 47:09
  Who was it?
• 47:10
  I think it was Kat.
• 47:11
  Got an interview with Adrian
• 47:13
  Conway and he was in the ice tub.
• 47:18
  It was awesome.
• 47:19
  Yeah, just chilling back.
• 47:24
  Adrian's a great dude.
• 47:27
  Yeah, awesome stuff.
• 47:29
  But that's how I know Kate.
• 47:30
  She was a runner for the
• 47:31
  morning chuck up that year.
• 47:33
  The last few days I worked
• 47:35
  for the morning chuck up.
• 47:37
  Well, at least you remember now.
• 47:40
  Yeah.
• 47:45
  Ken, that's assuming there was a briefing.
• 47:50
  Media, you get a tour and that's it.
• 47:58
  When you get the tour at the
• 47:59
  beginning of the week,
• 48:00
  you're allowed to all these
• 48:01
  different places.
• 48:03
  Then all of a sudden they
• 48:03
  switch the signs up on you.
• 48:06
  And I'm not one to read
• 48:07
  every sign every time.
• 48:08
  I'm kind of like Corey Leonard.
• 48:10
  Like when I go to do my workout,
• 48:12
  I just assume I'm going to
• 48:23
  get my stuff done.
• 48:24
  No.
• 48:24
  I just thought of this as trained olive.
• 48:26
  Do you think Tia
• 48:28
  intentionally created her
• 48:29
  own adversity just to show
• 48:30
  how dominant she is?
• 48:32
  no no no not even a little
• 48:37
  bit so yeah yeah fun to
• 48:49
  reminisce about the lost
• 48:50
  files of the of uh when we
• 48:52
  talk up somebody still has
• 48:54
  them you realize that right
• 48:55
  they're on somebody's
• 48:56
  laptop somewhere they're on
• 48:57
  a hard drive somewhere like
• 48:58
  just sitting there unaired
• 49:02
  unpublished, whatever you want to call it.
• 49:04
  The one I'm most mad about, well,
• 49:06
  actually the volunteer one
• 49:07
  was a great one, but the Colton one was,
• 49:12
  like back then, Colton didn't talk.
• 49:14
  No.
• 49:17
  And it was just a great,
• 49:18
  great interview just about
• 49:20
  the difference between
• 49:21
  qualifying for the games
• 49:23
  and then being good at the games.
• 49:31
  I know what he's talking about.
• 49:32
  Because there's stuff you
• 49:33
  need to do to be able to qualify for it.
• 49:35
  You just need a good aerobic conditioning,
• 49:38
  good basic gymnastics skills, et cetera,
• 49:40
  et cetera, et cetera.
• 49:40
  But once you get into games
• 49:42
  or another high-level
• 49:43
  competition in general,
• 49:44
  now you have to have way
• 49:47
  different skills you might
• 49:48
  have to pull out.
• 49:49
  You don't even know.
• 49:51
  Swimming.
• 49:53
  Yeah.
• 49:53
  Like, oh, shit, I got to swim?
• 49:55
  Yeah,
• 49:55
  and not just from here to the other
• 49:57
  side of the wall either.
• 49:57
  It's a lot of swimming.
• 50:00
  Oh, okay.
• 50:00
  Oh, I might have to ride an actual bike,
• 50:02
  not a stationary bike.
• 50:04
  Yeah,
• 50:04
  because there are two different things.
• 50:06
  Oh, okay.
• 50:08
  You know, skills.
• 50:09
  Oh,
• 50:10
  we're going to send you all on this
• 50:11
  obstacle course run.
• 50:13
  Deuces.
• 50:14
  Good luck.
• 50:14
  Enjoy yourselves.
• 50:16
  Lito said,
• 50:17
  next she'll be giving
• 50:18
  competitors a minute's head
• 50:19
  start just to make it more interesting.
• 50:21
  I think she only does that for Shane.
• 50:24
  That was hilarious.
• 50:28
  That was hilarious.
• 50:29
  What I thought was hilarious
• 50:30
  is she went ahead and
• 50:30
  submitted that as her open
• 50:32
  score before she realized, ooh,
• 50:34
  that didn't even get me in
• 50:34
  the top one percent.
• 50:42
  Ken Walter says that Colton
• 50:44
  one would be awesome now
• 50:45
  after what level he is now at.
• 50:47
  Millions of views missed.
• 50:50
  I'm telling you man it was
• 50:52
  it was one of like you know
• 50:54
  you I walk out of
• 50:55
  interviews sometimes I'm
• 50:56
  like man I really botched
• 50:57
  that one or man I hit that
• 50:59
  one out of the park I
• 51:00
  walked away from that one
• 51:01
  going dang I I hit the
• 51:03
  grand slam absolutely and
• 51:07
  it never hit the air so
• 51:08
  what good did it do it's
• 51:12
  like hitting a back batting
• 51:13
  practice um five hundred footer
• 51:18
  Yeah, look at him going, man,
• 51:18
  that was nice.
• 51:19
  And then striking out
• 51:21
  whenever you – that was the game,
• 51:23
  actually.
• 51:23
  Nobody's in the stands to see it.
• 51:25
  Nobody's there.
• 51:32
  Lito, yeah, Ken,
• 51:33
  same as Tia at her first
• 51:35
  games versus Tia now.
• 51:36
  I would say that the clip of
• 51:39
  Tia at her second games –
• 51:42
  when she beat herself up to
• 51:44
  where she is now was like
• 51:46
  what this colton interview
• 51:47
  was that I had in there
• 51:49
  that never aired to where
• 51:50
  he is today oh boy what's
• 52:00
  up man I don't know if I'm
• 52:05
  on the right or the left
• 52:11
  I do know the Super Mario theme.
• 52:13
  I will come back to myself
• 52:19
  while I'm doing stuff
• 52:19
  around the house from time to time.
• 52:23
  Yeah.
• 52:24
  So anyway, that's our show.
• 52:26
  Yep.
• 52:27
  Good stuff on a Friday, bro.
• 52:29
