  that's info and graphics
• 0:51
  person yes so what's going on guys
• 0:56
  Oh, not much.
• 0:58
  Just getting that busy time
• 1:00
  of year with the school
• 1:02
  starting and all the events
• 1:03
  that happened at the front of the year.
• 1:05
  So just working.
• 1:08
  Have you guys had a full
• 1:09
  week of school yet?
• 1:10
  Yeah, we've had,
• 1:12
  this is our third full week.
• 1:15
  I feel like this is the time of the year,
• 1:16
  at least when my kids were
• 1:17
  in grade school and middle school,
• 1:19
  where there was always some
• 1:21
  kind of thing.
• 1:22
  You're coming up on Veterans
• 1:24
  Day and Election Day and
• 1:25
  all the things in October
• 1:26
  and September where they
• 1:27
  didn't get a full week.
• 1:28
  Around here,
• 1:29
  it seems like nobody's had a
• 1:31
  full week yet.
• 1:32
  Yeah.
• 1:32
  And then Friday we have a,
• 1:35
  like a family event.
• 1:36
  So it's like, so my day, well,
• 1:38
  I coach tomorrow morning
• 1:41
  and then I go to work and I
• 1:42
  work all day and then we
• 1:43
  have a family event from five to seven,
• 1:45
  but I don't live super close to school.
• 1:47
  So I'm just going to stay.
• 1:48
  So my day is going to be real stretched.
• 1:51
  You've got a long one.
• 1:51
  Yeah.
• 1:52
  Yeah.
• 1:53
  Ugh.
• 1:56
  My corporate job has like an
• 1:59
  unofficial Friday policy
• 2:00
  where we really kind of
• 2:01
  only work until about noon year round.
• 2:05
  Really nice.
• 2:06
  Yeah.
• 2:06
  Like we try to avoid
• 2:08
  meetings and things like that.
• 2:09
  Obviously you have,
• 2:09
  if you have stuff to do to get done,
• 2:11
  you know, you work,
• 2:11
  but it's very quiet and you
• 2:13
  can pretty much set your
• 2:15
  own schedule on Fridays, which is nice.
• 2:16
  So today's kind of like my
• 2:18
  Friday and I'm off next
• 2:19
  Monday and Tuesday.
• 2:20
  So I kind of have like a
• 2:21
  four day weekend coming up.
• 2:23
  Yeah.
• 2:25
  My employer takes away all
• 2:27
  employee benefits that
• 2:29
  might remotely be nice for the employee.
• 2:31
  Right.
• 2:32
  Create some work-life balance.
• 2:33
  Sucks.
• 2:35
  They're just taking
• 2:36
  everything away right now.
• 2:38
  It's, it's so pathetic.
• 2:39
  Yeah.
• 2:43
  I'm sorry because I am in
• 2:45
  such a good place work-wise
• 2:47
  right now with this corporate job.
• 2:49
  It's,
• 2:50
  it's better than I could have ever
• 2:51
  imagined.
• 2:51
  So it's really been a
• 2:52
  blessing in a lot of ways.
• 2:57
  So I do have a funny story
• 2:58
  to kind of start us off is
• 3:01
  I bought a new mattress
• 3:02
  because my back has been
• 3:04
  hurting and not like in a bad way,
• 3:08
  just like sore every
• 3:09
  morning waking up and the
• 3:11
  mattress I'm sleeping on
• 3:12
  right now is thirty years old.
• 3:16
  So they delivered it this morning.
• 3:18
  So I woke up, ripped all the bedding off,
• 3:21
  brought it down to the basement,
• 3:22
  started laundry.
• 3:24
  And then Julie went to work.
• 3:26
  So I brought the other
• 3:28
  mattress down myself, which wasn't bad.
• 3:31
  Gravity helps with that.
• 3:33
  But the new mattress came.
• 3:35
  Oh my gosh.
• 3:36
  I thought I wasn't going to
• 3:37
  make it to the round table
• 3:38
  because the turn on my
• 3:41
  stairs to upstairs with the new mattress,
• 3:45
  the mattress got stuck
• 3:47
  between the ceiling and the
• 3:48
  two walls and trying to make the turn.
• 3:52
  Right.
• 3:52
  Pivot.
• 3:53
  The whole pivot.
• 3:55
  But I'm by myself.
• 3:56
  Like I can't.
• 3:58
  So I'm trying to like pull
• 3:59
  and tug and oh my gosh.
• 4:04
  I squeezed down through it and under it.
• 4:09
  I could push the bottom part
• 4:11
  up into the landing and
• 4:14
  then squeezed back up and
• 4:16
  under and then did sled
• 4:17
  pulls up the stairs and got up.
• 4:21
  It was the hardest workout
• 4:22
  I've done in like two weeks.
• 4:25
  Did you have a box spring too?
• 4:26
  Cause those aren't as
• 4:27
  malleable and squishy to
• 4:28
  get around corners.
• 4:29
  Or do you have like a platform bed?
• 4:31
  I have a, I have a,
• 4:32
  the box springs were good.
• 4:34
  They weren't as old.
• 4:35
  Okay.
• 4:35
  Good.
• 4:36
  So just laying it on top of the existing,
• 4:39
  but it's now in the room.
• 4:41
  I just have to cut the
• 4:42
  plastic off and lay it on the bed.
• 4:45
  So I think I'm good,
• 4:46
  but that thing is so covered with dust.
• 4:48
  I was hacking for like the entire thing.
• 4:50
  Yeah.
• 4:53
  It wasn't,
• 4:53
  so it wasn't a mattress in a box
• 4:55
  then it was an actual mattress.
• 4:58
  We've tried those and they're just not,
• 5:00
  they're just not great.
• 5:02
  Okay.
• 5:03
  Don't tell me that.
• 5:03
  Cause I may have just gotten one,
• 5:04
  but great.
• 5:07
  We've had them.
• 5:07
  We've had a couple in a box
• 5:08
  that have been fine.
• 5:10
  Yeah.
• 5:10
  I just don't think they last
• 5:11
  as long as like your traditional one.
• 5:13
  Well, they're not as expensive either.
• 5:14
  So I guess you would expect that.
• 5:20
  I got a Euro top.
• 5:21
  It's a Sealy Euro top.
• 5:22
  Oh, you got a nice one.
• 5:26
  BJ's for six hundred bucks.
• 5:28
  Oh, seriously.
• 5:29
  King.
• 5:31
  Queen.
• 5:35
  Queen.
• 5:35
  Not bad.
• 5:35
  Maybe I wasn't a smart shopper then.
• 5:36
  Yeah, not bad.
• 5:41
  Did you guys,
• 5:42
  that was my workout for today.
• 5:45
  I may hit the bike later tonight,
• 5:47
  but do you guys get anything into today?
• 5:49
  I did.
• 5:51
  I actually ended up coaching this morning.
• 5:53
  I was filling in for somebody.
• 5:54
  So if I'm there, I'm going to work out.
• 5:57
  And so today we've been
• 5:58
  doing like this whole
• 6:00
  week's themes has been
• 6:01
  following like CrossFit Games workouts.
• 6:04
  And so today's one was the
• 6:07
  push pool and ours was
• 6:09
  heavily modified because we
• 6:11
  didn't do sleds or any of that.
• 6:12
  So we did row.
• 6:13
  So it really was quite a quick workout.
• 6:17
  I think it had like a fifteen minute cap,
• 6:19
  but it was handstand pushups, pushups,
• 6:22
  strict handstand pushups
• 6:23
  and then some rowing.
• 6:24
  So it's like a thirteen or
• 6:26
  so minute workout.
• 6:26
  And then we have a little
• 6:27
  body pump back and biceps afterwards.
• 6:30
  So it was good.
• 6:32
  I love the backs and by.
• 6:33
  I know I do.
• 6:36
  Well, I'm working from the gym this week,
• 6:37
  as you can tell.
• 6:38
  And so I have been doing box squats,
• 6:43
  strict press and some
• 6:46
  shoulder flies sort of like
• 6:48
  every fifteen minutes.
• 6:49
  I go back out into the gym
• 6:51
  and I'll do like a set of
• 6:52
  everything and then I'll
• 6:53
  come back here and I'll
• 6:54
  work a little bit and then I go back.
• 6:55
  So I'm doing like a lazy,
• 6:57
  lazy weightlifting workout today.
• 6:58
  Yeah.
• 6:59
  That's not really lazy, but yeah.
• 7:01
  Well, yeah.
• 7:02
  I mean, not super structured.
• 7:05
  I won't be getting my heart
• 7:06
  rate up too much.
• 7:06
  Yeah.
• 7:07
  Do you notice a difference
• 7:08
  in your work production by
• 7:09
  getting up and getting
• 7:11
  blood flow throughout the day?
• 7:14
  That's a good question.
• 7:15
  No,
• 7:16
  I feel as though I get more work done
• 7:18
  when I'm like super laser
• 7:20
  focused and I don't move
• 7:21
  from my desk for hours.
• 7:23
  Unfortunately,
• 7:23
  I have a hard time walking away and then
• 7:27
  getting refocused when I come back.
• 7:28
  I think I need to,
• 7:30
  I need fewer distractions,
• 7:32
  I think to do that.
• 7:32
  But today's not a crazy day.
• 7:34
  I only have a couple of meetings.
• 7:35
  So, and I've been super efficient.
• 7:38
  I've worked a lot yesterday
• 7:39
  and the day before.
• 7:40
  So yeah, it depends, I guess,
• 7:43
  but I'm that kind of person.
• 7:44
  I need to focus.
• 7:47
  Uh, Corey says, I like quick workouts.
• 7:49
  Speaking of Corey, that's what she said.
• 7:55
  He did the Legends qualifiers.
• 7:57
  If people have not been
• 7:58
  following his story, his goal,
• 8:02
  big goal from this year was
• 8:03
  to take a step up from MFC
• 8:06
  to Legends and make, qualify for Legends.
• 8:10
  the elite division uh he
• 8:12
  went rx mfc last year now
• 8:14
  he's trying to go elite
• 8:15
  legends and the submissions
• 8:18
  were due last night at
• 8:19
  midnight uh leaderboard was
• 8:21
  out this morning and he is
• 8:23
  in the top twenty currently
• 8:26
  they take what top forty oh
• 8:30
  easy is that even hard
• 8:33
  And they did give automatic
• 8:35
  bids to the top five at the games.
• 8:37
  Yeah.
• 8:37
  So it's really thirty five
• 8:39
  unless people did not
• 8:41
  decline the invitation.
• 8:44
  That's awesome.
• 8:46
  Super excited.
• 8:47
  And it's in it's in the Sun Devil Stadium,
• 8:49
  right?
• 8:51
  It's in their athletic complex complexes.
• 8:54
  So it's where the swim swimming pool is.
• 8:56
  And let's read this.
• 9:01
  Andrew Sten,
• 9:02
  I'm going to single out
• 9:03
  Corey's videos when he
• 9:04
  helps with the video review.
• 9:08
  Please no.
• 9:13
  Andrew, he's always in the controversy.
• 9:16
  You know,
• 9:16
  he no-repped Emma Carey at the
• 9:18
  end of the Lunges at Granite Canyon.
• 9:20
  Oh, yeah.
• 9:20
  I'll never forgive Andrew for that,
• 9:22
  I don't think.
• 9:25
  We love you, Andrew.
• 9:26
  He's always in the middle of it.
• 9:27
  Broke my heart.
• 9:30
  But Corey's response, please do.
• 9:33
  That's confident.
• 9:38
  I like it.
• 9:38
  I know he was very meticulous.
• 9:39
  Last year with MFC,
• 9:41
  he was kind of laissez-faire.
• 9:43
  And if you remember,
• 9:45
  he didn't measure his wall ball target,
• 9:48
  but MFC let him go back and
• 9:49
  measure it after the fact.
• 9:54
  Legends doesn't allow that.
• 9:56
  So he was much more meticulous this year.
• 10:05
  Andrew is a no repping machine.
• 10:12
  So super pumped for Corey
• 10:14
  and can't wait to see him
• 10:16
  for sure out there doing that.
• 10:18
  Because
• 10:21
  Well, this is probably mean to say,
• 10:22
  and I'll probably hear about it,
• 10:23
  but like MFC is like a
• 10:27
  great starting point for
• 10:28
  the Masters community.
• 10:29
  Legends is a step up.
• 10:32
  The competition there is much more fierce.
• 10:35
  There are much more games
• 10:37
  competitors at Legends,
• 10:39
  and it really is a true
• 10:41
  test out there to see where
• 10:43
  you stand going into the game season.
• 10:48
  So, and I am,
• 10:50
  I think I'm going to drive up
• 10:51
  to MFC this Saturday.
• 10:53
  Oh, fun.
• 10:54
  No media, just walk in.
• 10:56
  Yeah.
• 10:57
  With my camera, take some pictures,
• 10:58
  take some video, talk to some people.
• 11:01
  Because I really have now
• 11:03
  become embedded in this
• 11:04
  Masters community and know
• 11:06
  a lot of the people going up there.
• 11:08
  And just going to go up and
• 11:09
  say hi for a couple hours
• 11:11
  and then head back.
• 11:12
  It's only a two-hour drive.
• 11:13
  So that's not bad.
• 11:14
  Mm-mm.
• 11:17
  I've got, um,
• 11:18
  parents weekend this weekend
• 11:19
  at both of my kids' colleges.
• 11:25
  Yeah.
• 11:25
  Well, I'm going to, uh,
• 11:26
  I'm going to do Eliana's.
• 11:28
  I don't think I've ever been to Braden's.
• 11:29
  Braden could care less.
• 11:31
  Um,
• 11:31
  he probably doesn't want to see me
• 11:32
  anyway.
• 11:32
  So, um,
• 11:34
  they're doing Eliana and her
• 11:36
  roommates are inviting all
• 11:37
  the parents over for dinner
• 11:39
  on Friday night.
• 11:40
  And then there's the tailgate at the, uh,
• 11:42
  football game on Saturday.
• 11:43
  So I'll be doing that.
• 11:44
  Yeah.
• 11:48
  Corey never made dinner for
• 11:48
  me on dad's weekend.
• 11:51
  She just took me to bars.
• 11:53
  I made the mistake of,
• 11:54
  I texted her earlier and I said, you know,
• 11:56
  do you need us to bring anything?
• 11:58
  And she's like,
• 11:59
  Well,
• 11:59
  if you want to bring an app or a dip
• 12:01
  or whatever.
• 12:02
  And so we've been back and
• 12:03
  forth about what I should bring.
• 12:04
  And now it's turned into like,
• 12:05
  I'm making a crock pot dinner dish.
• 12:09
  Bring the main course.
• 12:10
  Yeah.
• 12:10
  I'm like, do you need me to bring a meal?
• 12:12
  Like what's going on?
• 12:13
  So we'll see what happens.
• 12:14
  That'll be fun.
• 12:15
  Cooking tomorrow.
• 12:16
  Yeah.
• 12:17
  It'll be nice.
• 12:18
  Fun fact.
• 12:19
  One of her roommates,
• 12:20
  I think I may have said this before.
• 12:21
  Her roommate is the daughter
• 12:23
  of one of my best friends
• 12:24
  from grade school and high
• 12:25
  school that I haven't seen in decades.
• 12:28
  So it's just super cool that
• 12:30
  the two of them,
• 12:31
  they didn't go to school
• 12:31
  together prior to this and
• 12:33
  they met last year and
• 12:33
  decided to be roommates.
• 12:34
  And I think it's kind of neat.
• 12:35
  So I'll get to see her and
• 12:37
  her husband at some point
• 12:39
  this weekend too.
• 12:40
  So yeah, it'd be fun.
• 12:42
  Very cool.
• 12:44
  What wasn't homecoming at OU
• 12:46
  just like last weekend or this weekend?
• 12:49
  I don't know about homecoming,
• 12:51
  but it was parents weekend
• 12:52
  last weekend and I didn't go.
• 12:56
  I wasn't, we had stuff going,
• 12:57
  actually it was, I don't know,
• 12:59
  two weeks ago.
• 12:59
  We had stuff going on.
• 13:00
  And plus I'm like,
• 13:01
  I'll come visit anytime.
• 13:04
  Like.
• 13:04
  Right.
• 13:05
  You don't have to,
• 13:05
  it doesn't have to be
• 13:06
  parents weekends kind of
• 13:07
  overrated to some time.
• 13:08
  I mean,
• 13:08
  I think it's more for people that
• 13:10
  are way out of town, out of town.
• 13:12
  I mean, Eliana's college is.
• 13:15
  Yeah.
• 13:16
  So I get it for like first.
• 13:18
  For first time students who haven't,
• 13:21
  you know,
• 13:21
  like it's something that kids
• 13:22
  can look forward to,
• 13:23
  to see their families, but yeah.
• 13:25
  Yeah.
• 13:25
  Corey says you could bring an app,
• 13:27
  some dip, a six pound pork roast,
• 13:30
  you know, whatever.
• 13:31
  Exactly.
• 13:32
  Yeah.
• 13:32
  Or all of the above.
• 13:33
  I'd probably be asked to
• 13:34
  bring like a case of Truly
• 13:36
  or something is what I'd be asking.
• 13:37
  Oh, yeah.
• 13:38
  That's a common request sometimes too.
• 13:40
  When I'm going to Costco.
• 13:41
  Hey, mom, when you're going to Costco,
• 13:42
  can you pick me up the
• 13:44
  giant eight pound bottle of vodka?
• 13:47
  And then I get the Alani
• 13:49
  energy drinks too that we
• 13:50
  need to pick up at Costco.
• 13:52
  So.
• 13:52
  Yeah.
• 13:54
  parents weekend at OU,
• 13:55
  the town is so small.
• 13:56
  Yeah.
• 13:57
  There's no place.
• 13:58
  Parents there.
• 13:59
  It's utterly.
• 13:59
  And I've,
• 14:00
  we got to the point like sophomore year,
• 14:02
  like Corey,
• 14:02
  we don't need to come down any weekend.
• 14:04
  It's not a special weekend
• 14:06
  and hang out where we can
• 14:07
  actually get into a restaurant.
• 14:09
  Yeah.
• 14:11
  Yeah.
• 14:12
  Cause you don't really want
• 14:12
  to go to the towns outside
• 14:14
  of the college town because
• 14:15
  that's just a different, different life.
• 14:19
  I feel like that's like that everywhere.
• 14:21
  Even William and Mary, like, you know,
• 14:23
  it's in Williamsburg and
• 14:24
  it's very kind of bougie,
• 14:26
  the historical area, lots of tourists and,
• 14:28
  you know, very sort of affluent.
• 14:31
  But you go you go like four
• 14:32
  or five miles down the road,
• 14:33
  not even to like Richmond Road.
• 14:35
  And it's sketchy, very sketchy.
• 14:40
  Amy, have you been to Little Fish Brewery?
• 14:43
  No.
• 14:45
  It's outside of Athens.
• 14:47
  Oh, I think.
• 14:48
  Yes.
• 14:49
  Yeah.
• 14:49
  I remember.
• 14:50
  I haven't been there,
• 14:50
  but I've driven past it.
• 14:51
  Yeah.
• 14:51
  Yeah.
• 14:52
  Yeah.
• 14:52
  It's up on a mountainside.
• 14:53
  Yeah.
• 14:54
  Yeah.
• 14:54
  It's an outdoor seating.
• 14:55
  So you're looking at the
• 14:56
  mountains and the brewery is really nice.
• 14:59
  Yeah.
• 15:00
  And they usually have food
• 15:01
  of some sort there,
• 15:02
  either a truck or something, but yeah,
• 15:06
  it's nice.
• 15:07
  So a little bit of CrossFit.
• 15:09
  Did you guys talk,
• 15:10
  did you guys see T or what
• 15:11
  a Palooza SoCal?
• 15:13
  I watched a decent bit of it.
• 15:15
  Yeah.
• 15:17
  It was,
• 15:17
  it reminded me of grid a little bit
• 15:21
  or like every,
• 15:21
  every rep counts or it was just,
• 15:23
  the format was, was different.
• 15:26
  Yeah.
• 15:26
  I mean, I, I liked,
• 15:28
  I liked that format of the
• 15:29
  team and subbing in and
• 15:30
  subbing out and having
• 15:31
  strategy of who is our best, this,
• 15:35
  who is our best that, um,
• 15:39
  I thought it was without
• 15:41
  the funky movements.
• 15:43
  Right, right, right.
• 15:43
  Yeah.
• 15:44
  Let's stick with the
• 15:44
  positives for a second
• 15:45
  because we could probably.
• 15:50
  Oh, awesome.
• 15:51
  I love it.
• 15:52
  Most of it was positive in my book.
• 15:54
  Yeah.
• 15:55
  I thought the workouts were
• 15:56
  a little boring until they
• 15:57
  got to the lift.
• 16:00
  My favorite event was when
• 16:01
  they had to move all the
• 16:02
  equipment from one end of
• 16:03
  the sand pit to the other
• 16:06
  end of the sand pit and then back.
• 16:08
  I thought that was,
• 16:10
  and you couldn't be
• 16:11
  released to start moving
• 16:12
  until you got forty
• 16:14
  unbroken double-unders.
• 16:18
  I missed that one.
• 16:19
  And so then you had to pick up sandbags,
• 16:20
  D-balls.
• 16:22
  You had to roll the D-balls.
• 16:23
  You could not pick them up.
• 16:25
  And then they had worms, sandbags,
• 16:30
  and sleds.
• 16:32
  And they all had to be moved
• 16:33
  from one end of the floor to the other.
• 16:37
  And the drop jaw moment was
• 16:41
  Jeff Adler moved the worm by himself.
• 16:44
  And then when he did that, then like, okay,
• 16:47
  well, I'm not going to,
• 16:48
  so I'm going to move one.
• 16:50
  And then who else was out there?
• 16:53
  Pat was like, well,
• 16:54
  if you guys are doing it, Justin go,
• 16:58
  I'm going to do it.
• 16:58
  Right.
• 16:59
  So they're all like moving
• 17:00
  the worms by themselves.
• 17:01
  That's awesome.
• 17:06
  and by the time the world
• 17:07
  figured that out it was too
• 17:08
  late yeah the world I liked
• 17:14
  um I liked how the guys and
• 17:16
  girls got to work out
• 17:17
  together like team up you
• 17:19
  know because um they don't
• 17:21
  really have much
• 17:22
  interaction at the games
• 17:23
  they're always sort of
• 17:25
  separated and I just like that dynamic
• 17:28
  that the guys and girls are
• 17:29
  definitely was like, I mean,
• 17:30
  water blues is always a fun vibe,
• 17:32
  but this was definitely just awesome.
• 17:34
  Just an alternative fun vibe to it.
• 17:37
  You know?
• 17:37
  Yeah.
• 17:38
  Their interactions.
• 17:38
  I liked it was a little distracting.
• 17:42
  Oh, sorry.
• 17:42
  Go ahead.
• 17:43
  No, no, you go.
• 17:45
  It was a little distracting
• 17:46
  having Tia in every frame,
• 17:49
  like when she was coaching everyone,
• 17:51
  that was a little bit, um, I don't know.
• 17:54
  I just got tired of seeing her.
• 17:57
  Mm-hmm.
• 17:58
  I think there are people
• 17:59
  that have Tia fatigue.
• 18:01
  Yeah.
• 18:01
  Maybe,
• 18:01
  maybe that's what I'm suffering from.
• 18:03
  Right.
• 18:04
  You know, she's won seven times.
• 18:06
  Okay.
• 18:06
  We get it.
• 18:07
  You're the greatest, you know,
• 18:10
  and then some of the coaching,
• 18:12
  I'm not even sure it was coaching.
• 18:13
  It seemed just like yelling.
• 18:14
  Right.
• 18:16
  Right.
• 18:18
  Sometimes that's a usable
• 18:20
  tool when you're coaching.
• 18:21
  Sometimes it reminded me a
• 18:23
  little bit of Scott.
• 18:24
  Do you remember West coast classic?
• 18:26
  Yeah.
• 18:27
  And there was a particular
• 18:28
  team from a particular gym
• 18:30
  in Southern California that
• 18:32
  were screaming and yelling at each other,
• 18:36
  like abusively.
• 18:38
  So it was, it was like cringy.
• 18:42
  Yeah.
• 18:42
  It reminded me of that a little.
• 18:44
  So the big event where Tia
• 18:45
  was really yelling was the
• 18:48
  monostructural workout
• 18:49
  where it was Emily Rolfe
• 18:51
  versus Gracie Walton.
• 18:53
  And then it was Dallin
• 18:55
  Pepper versus Brent Fikowski.
• 18:57
  And they had to do echo bike,
• 18:59
  burpees over a bar, and then a,
• 19:02
  a five hundred meter sprint
• 19:03
  on an assault runner.
• 19:06
  And Emily and Gracie are
• 19:08
  going on the bike and Tia is like,
• 19:11
  almost like she's whipping the horse,
• 19:13
  like, come on, like just yelling at her.
• 19:17
  But what I found,
• 19:18
  what I found funny on that
• 19:19
  was they get to the burpee
• 19:21
  over the bar and, you know,
• 19:23
  Emily's known for not tiring out, right?
• 19:24
  She can go for long distances.
• 19:26
  Yeah.
• 19:27
  And she pulls way ahead on
• 19:29
  Gracie on the burpees.
• 19:31
  But the last five,
• 19:32
  it was like every muscle in
• 19:34
  Emily's body must have cramped up.
• 19:36
  Her last five burpees looked
• 19:38
  like rigor mortis had set in.
• 19:40
  She could barely get over the bar.
• 19:43
  Rigor mortis.
• 19:44
  And then she had to recover
• 19:47
  in time to do the run.
• 19:49
  And it's amazing how fast that she was,
• 19:54
  like how fast she recovered
• 19:55
  and then went all out
• 19:56
  sprint on the air runner.
• 19:58
  Yeah.
• 19:59
  I agree.
• 20:03
  Corey says,
• 20:04
  I'm not saying Tia should retire,
• 20:05
  but I would love to see
• 20:06
  literally anyone beat her.
• 20:09
  And maybe this is a little
• 20:10
  foreshadowing of her being
• 20:12
  a coach and her moving into
• 20:14
  more of a coaching role with Proven.
• 20:18
  I mean, that's got to be part of her plan,
• 20:20
  I would think, at some point.
• 20:24
  And then someone will say, oh, no,
• 20:25
  Tia would never coach.
• 20:26
  Just like someone said that
• 20:27
  Matt Fraser would never
• 20:28
  coach when I said I think he would coach.
• 20:32
  And here he is coaching.
• 20:35
  Or at least he was for a bit.
• 20:36
  Yeah.
• 20:36
  Yeah.
• 20:38
  Um,
• 20:40
  barbell spend did this thing where they
• 20:41
  asked each person, like,
• 20:43
  what are two changes you
• 20:44
  would make to it?
• 20:45
  Cause everybody was pretty
• 20:46
  positive just like this.
• 20:48
  Like what are two tweaks you'd make?
• 20:51
  And I'll go first.
• 20:51
  Cause I've,
• 20:52
  I've been thinking about it since then.
• 20:54
  And my two tweaks would,
• 20:55
  I would like four teams, um,
• 20:58
  initially I said like Australia, Europe,
• 21:01
  Canada, United States, but,
• 21:04
  but spin had an idea of, Hey,
• 21:08
  we pick four captains.
• 21:09
  We do a live draft and then
• 21:12
  it's just four teams against each other,
• 21:14
  which I,
• 21:15
  I kind of like the drama behind that.
• 21:20
  And the other tweak I would
• 21:21
  make is Mike up the, the, the as they go.
• 21:27
  Yes, that.
• 21:28
  Yeah, I like that.
• 21:29
  I do like the two changes I
• 21:33
  would make to this because
• 21:35
  I really did like the format.
• 21:37
  And I think they should look
• 21:38
  at this for the team affiliate cup.
• 21:41
  Yeah.
• 21:43
  by like subbing people in,
• 21:44
  like have six athletes and
• 21:46
  four go or however you want to run it.
• 21:49
  But I think it adds way more
• 21:51
  interest and you can,
• 21:53
  if you go like two on two,
• 21:55
  it's easier to see on the
• 21:56
  floor as opposed to like
• 21:58
  just a cluster of stuff out there.
• 22:01
  Right.
• 22:01
  True.
• 22:07
  Yeah, that would be fun.
• 22:08
  I,
• 22:08
  my only concern the whole weekend was
• 22:10
  how were people's feet
• 22:11
  holding up with sand and socks and shoes?
• 22:14
  That was like the most
• 22:15
  uncomfortable thing to
• 22:16
  watch when everybody was shod on the,
• 22:20
  on the beach, especially on that run.
• 22:23
  I thought to myself,
• 22:24
  I can't imagine like I was,
• 22:27
  I was in PFA a mode like, Hey,
• 22:29
  wait a minute.
• 22:30
  What do you, what are we doing here?
• 22:32
  So they only were in the
• 22:33
  sand for the morning event.
• 22:37
  So that was only Saturday
• 22:38
  and Sunday morning.
• 22:40
  So the move,
• 22:40
  every object was in the sand and the run,
• 22:44
  run was in the sand.
• 22:45
  Yeah.
• 22:46
  That was, that was concerning to me.
• 22:48
  It was like a two thousand meter run,
• 22:49
  right?
• 22:49
  Or three thousand meter run?
• 22:52
  Three thousand meter run.
• 22:54
  Yeah.
• 22:55
  Well, if you want to talk in safety,
• 22:57
  the nighttime events,
• 22:58
  the floor was soaked.
• 22:59
  Well, yeah.
• 23:00
  With dew and like they were
• 23:03
  chalking everything.
• 23:04
  Mm-hmm.
• 23:07
  I mean,
• 23:08
  that's the thing when you do
• 23:08
  outdoor events, it's,
• 23:10
  there's a lot of elements to prepare for.
• 23:12
  And yeah.
• 23:13
  Yeah.
• 23:14
  Especially on the beach.
• 23:15
  Yeah.
• 23:16
  I thought it was funny.
• 23:17
  I thought it was funny on
• 23:18
  the run when there were
• 23:20
  like people on the beach,
• 23:21
  just like random people
• 23:22
  taking walks and you know,
• 23:24
  they're running, excuse me, pardon me.
• 23:27
  I'm trying to race here.
• 23:31
  Yeah.
• 23:31
  Do you guys have any
• 23:32
  suggestions for making it better?
• 23:35
  I like the mics being mic'd
• 23:36
  up that I would get really
• 23:38
  entertained by that.
• 23:40
  Yeah.
• 23:41
  And I think,
• 23:42
  I think having more teams on
• 23:42
  the floor at once is probably doable.
• 23:46
  This was definitely sounded, you know,
• 23:48
  seemed like some kind of
• 23:48
  proof of concept that they
• 23:50
  were working on.
• 23:50
  And I think by all, you know, accounts,
• 23:54
  it seemed like it was pretty successful.
• 23:57
  Corey is correct.
• 23:58
  There was a surfing event up
• 23:59
  the beach where they ran to
• 24:02
  going on at the exact same time.
• 24:04
  You could hear the announcer
• 24:07
  talking about the surfing
• 24:09
  as Brian Friend was trying
• 24:10
  to keep up with the athletes running.
• 24:16
  I do want to just take a
• 24:18
  second to shout out our
• 24:20
  photographer who was there
• 24:22
  posting for us all weekend,
• 24:25
  which was awesome because
• 24:26
  we couldn't be there.
• 24:28
  And since he could,
• 24:31
  it gave us a presence even
• 24:32
  though we weren't there.
• 24:34
  So if you are not following Yzma Captures,
• 24:39
  he is our photographer.
• 24:39
  He was our photographer for
• 24:42
  West Coast Classic semifinal.
• 24:44
  and uh for this event and
• 24:46
  probably he'll be doing a
• 24:48
  lot more events for us but
• 24:49
  if you didn't see some of
• 24:50
  the stuff like he did these
• 24:52
  reels of like emily getting
• 24:55
  on the echo bike uh annika
• 24:58
  greer at the reps ahead
• 25:00
  event all these pictures so
• 25:04
  we really did have a
• 25:05
  presence but this is him he
• 25:07
  is yeah he did a nice job
• 25:15
  I got about two hundred new
• 25:17
  Brazilian followers on
• 25:18
  Instagram because of these key posts.
• 25:24
  Yeah.
• 25:25
  He seemed like he had a lot of fun.
• 25:27
  Yeah.
• 25:28
  I'll tell you what,
• 25:29
  like he the first two days,
• 25:31
  he was the most impressive
• 25:32
  athlete on the floor.
• 25:35
  But it because there were
• 25:36
  special specialty events,
• 25:38
  gymnastics and lifting,
• 25:40
  which he's good at both.
• 25:41
  Yeah.
• 25:42
  like he couldn't really
• 25:43
  highlight nominated in
• 25:44
  those yeah we go rep for
• 25:47
  rep with with pat velner
• 25:48
  and a gymnastics event just
• 25:50
  shows like how good he is
• 25:51
  at certain things so but I
• 25:56
  wanted to give give him a
• 25:57
  shout out because he's been
• 25:59
  awesome for us and he just
• 26:01
  posts and asks to
• 26:01
  collaborate so that we can
• 26:03
  share everything out there and it's been
• 26:06
  been a good relationship uh
• 26:08
  with him because he lives
• 26:09
  in la so it's easy for him
• 26:11
  to get to the west coast
• 26:12
  events for sure it's
• 26:13
  perfect uh adaptive games
• 26:18
  did you guys catch any of
• 26:19
  that just the highlights I
• 26:22
  didn't get to see any of
• 26:23
  the actual events I had a
• 26:26
  few friends that were there
• 26:27
  so I saw like by virtue of
• 26:29
  them posting I saw some
• 26:30
  things but I didn't spend a
• 26:32
  whole lot of time watching
• 26:34
  You know,
• 26:34
  I thought that like the masters
• 26:36
  having the same event over
• 26:38
  all those divisions was
• 26:39
  tough and is something you
• 26:42
  have to kind of overcome as a,
• 26:43
  as a viewing experience.
• 26:45
  Bill Grundler and Jamie
• 26:48
  Austin calling the adaptive
• 26:50
  games and the number of
• 26:52
  divisions they have,
• 26:53
  which is more than the
• 26:54
  masters and all the
• 26:56
  different adaptations to,
• 26:58
  to the equipment, to the event.
• 27:01
  They kept up with all of
• 27:02
  that and did marathon
• 27:05
  yeoman yeoman's duty,
• 27:07
  getting through all that
• 27:08
  and deserve all the kudos in the world.
• 27:13
  And it was really fun to watch.
• 27:15
  I've only ever seen it at the games,
• 27:17
  like the five divisions that they brought,
• 27:20
  having like all eighteen
• 27:21
  divisions or whatever it was.
• 27:23
  It was really fun seeing how
• 27:25
  they adapted everything.
• 27:27
  And then the one-armed
• 27:27
  people cleaning more than I can was like,
• 27:32
  these people are phenomenal athletes.
• 27:34
  Mm-hmm.
• 27:36
  Do you think that the
• 27:39
  adaptive division will
• 27:40
  mature enough to warrant a
• 27:43
  master's adaptive divisions?
• 27:47
  I mean,
• 27:47
  I know it makes my head explode to
• 27:49
  think of.
• 27:50
  Right now, if you watch it,
• 27:53
  most of the master's athletes are older.
• 27:57
  You mean adaptive athletes?
• 27:58
  Yes.
• 27:59
  Yes.
• 28:00
  Sorry.
• 28:01
  By definition,
• 28:02
  master's athletes are older.
• 28:04
  So that's interesting.
• 28:05
  Yeah.
• 28:06
  Or I wonder if there will be
• 28:08
  a crop of younger athletes
• 28:10
  coming up in it where it
• 28:12
  will necessitate having to split them up.
• 28:17
  I think the way they talked
• 28:18
  about it on the commentary,
• 28:21
  because I'd let it run on
• 28:22
  my computer every day so
• 28:23
  they would have the view
• 28:25
  and the watch time just to support them.
• 28:28
  And I would bop in and out
• 28:30
  watching as I was working
• 28:33
  Thursday and Friday for
• 28:33
  sure and a little bit on the weekend.
• 28:36
  They talked about it as
• 28:38
  there's not enough of the
• 28:39
  adaptive community who know this exists.
• 28:43
  Like their push is getting
• 28:45
  it out to the adaptive community that,
• 28:46
  hey,
• 28:47
  you're not stuck in a chair in your home.
• 28:51
  You can come do all these
• 28:52
  cool things and do this stuff.
• 28:55
  And I think their biggest
• 28:57
  thing is marketing to that
• 28:59
  community of what is possible.
• 29:05
  That you don't have to give
• 29:06
  up on your dreams of being
• 29:07
  a competitive athlete.
• 29:09
  Yeah.
• 29:12
  And it was really well done.
• 29:13
  Did Amy Bream compete?
• 29:16
  She did not compete.
• 29:17
  She was a sideline reporter.
• 29:18
  Okay.
• 29:19
  And she was awesome.
• 29:20
  Okay, yeah.
• 29:24
  Which I thought,
• 29:26
  because she knows what
• 29:27
  they've gone through, right?
• 29:28
  She's done it herself.
• 29:30
  She gave great insight from the sideline.
• 29:33
  Sure, that's great.
• 29:36
  So I love that they hired
• 29:37
  her on to do that as well.
• 29:39
  Yeah, yeah.
• 29:41
  But, you know,
• 29:44
  I was really mad when they
• 29:45
  split everything off,
• 29:46
  but I wouldn't have sat and
• 29:47
  watched the adaptive games like I did.
• 29:51
  And the opportunity that
• 29:53
  eight team divisions got
• 29:54
  instead of five was really good.
• 29:58
  So that's all I got to say about that.
• 30:01
  I like that.
• 30:02
  See, little positives right there.
• 30:03
  Mm-hmm.
• 30:06
  Um,
• 30:07
  the last thing I want to leave you guys
• 30:09
  with, um, well,
• 30:11
  first episode four is
• 30:12
  coming out Monday of the
• 30:13
  behind the scenes of the
• 30:14
  masters CrossFit games.
• 30:16
  Trust me, as these episodes go on,
• 30:18
  it gets better.
• 30:19
  Like day one,
• 30:20
  I was feeling my feeling it out.
• 30:23
  And that is episode four is
• 30:24
  the last episode of day one.
• 30:27
  And just a little asterisk beside this,
• 30:30
  because of the way it was
• 30:31
  set up with three floors
• 30:33
  and people rotated,
• 30:34
  even though it's episode four, or I mean,
• 30:37
  event three,
• 30:38
  not everybody did that third.
• 30:41
  Some did it first.
• 30:42
  So when you're watching it,
• 30:44
  it was the first event for
• 30:45
  the younger Masters athletes.
• 30:47
  Yeah.
• 30:48
  so you hear them talk about
• 30:49
  was my first event and I I
• 30:51
  got done with that now I
• 30:52
  can move on even though it
• 30:53
  was event three in the book
• 30:55
  because they rotated floors
• 30:58
  you know but super excited
• 31:00
  about it um I have it all
• 31:01
  put together just waiting
• 31:03
  for the leaderboards from
• 31:05
  holly and the mashup from
• 31:07
  ortega and then we'll have
• 31:09
  that one in the can ready
• 31:11
  for monday release
• 31:14
  Um, and then we move on to day two,
• 31:17
  which I get better.
• 31:19
  And then day three, I get even better.
• 31:21
  So, and I, I think Ellie does too.
• 31:24
  So I think it's a good hang in there.
• 31:28
  These are good.
• 31:29
  I think they get great.
• 31:30
  Mm hmm.
• 31:34
  Yeah.
• 31:34
  The more reps and practice you have,
• 31:35
  right?
• 31:36
  Exactly.
• 31:37
  And I'm really loving this.
• 31:39
  Like I'm having so much fun,
• 31:40
  even editing it.
• 31:41
  Like I don't usually have
• 31:42
  fun editing this.
• 31:44
  I'm having fun editing.
• 31:46
  So it's a, it's a lot of, a lot of fun.
• 31:48
  The last thing last night on Savan,
• 31:51
  they did it and we don't
• 31:52
  need to go in depth like they did,
• 31:54
  but they did a, like a quick live show.
• 31:57
  Who is the most popular male
• 31:59
  CrossFit champion?
• 32:01
  And they ranked them from ten to one.
• 32:04
  Because there are ten champions right now.
• 32:06
  James Fitzgerald, Jason Kalipa, Miko Salo,
• 32:13
  Graham Holmberg, Rich, Ben Smith, Matt,
• 32:18
  Madaris, Adler, Sprague.
• 32:21
  Yeah.
• 32:23
  So when it wasn't like,
• 32:24
  who do you like the most,
• 32:26
  or who was the best athlete?
• 32:28
  Yeah.
• 32:28
  It is, who was the most popular?
• 32:31
  Most popular...
• 32:32
  So it was pretty unanimous
• 32:34
  who was most popular.
• 32:35
  One dissenting vote in the
• 32:37
  group they had on said Matt.
• 32:39
  Everybody else says Rich.
• 32:40
  Rich, yeah.
• 32:41
  Yeah, Rich for sure.
• 32:42
  I say Rich for sure.
• 32:44
  Rich for sure here.
• 32:45
  It must have been a new
• 32:46
  person that's new under CrossFit.
• 32:49
  Well,
• 32:49
  they were saying newer people to
• 32:51
  CrossFit don't know who Rich is.
• 32:53
  That's a lie.
• 32:54
  Like with, because of Haley Adams,
• 32:57
  because of, um, Roman, because of,
• 33:01
  and Angelo,
• 33:02
  because of all these people
• 33:03
  that are around him and him
• 33:05
  and him owning mayhem,
• 33:06
  people know who he is.
• 33:09
  His,
• 33:09
  his podcast still gets as many views
• 33:12
  as anybody else in the space.
• 33:14
  Yeah.
• 33:16
  But some of the interesting
• 33:17
  arguments were like,
• 33:19
  they had Ben Smith is three.
• 33:23
  And I think they're
• 33:25
  underestimating the
• 33:26
  popularity of James Sprague personally.
• 33:28
  That kid is wildly popular.
• 33:33
  And I think Justin Medeiros
• 33:34
  has a huge horde of fans.
• 33:39
  One, because his family.
• 33:43
  There's always cameras on
• 33:43
  his family and him,
• 33:45
  and they're out there in
• 33:45
  the campground with the fans,
• 33:47
  and they're doing all this stuff.
• 33:49
  Like,
• 33:50
  I would put those two ahead of Ben Smith.
• 33:54
  The only thing Ben's known
• 33:55
  for now is coaching Laura.
• 33:58
  I mean, I would... Yeah,
• 34:00
  Ben's... I would say one of
• 34:03
  the least interesting...
• 34:07
  or at least, I mean,
• 34:09
  maybe people know his name,
• 34:10
  but I remember when he won,
• 34:11
  we were all saying like, wow,
• 34:13
  I bet CrossFit wished
• 34:14
  someone else had won
• 34:15
  because he's just not very
• 34:16
  charismatic for the brand, you know, to.
• 34:19
  We, he just, he's not a talker.
• 34:24
  He doesn't do what he,
• 34:26
  he tried to do a podcast.
• 34:28
  It was actually pretty interesting,
• 34:30
  but he just didn't keep up with it.
• 34:32
  Like it just doesn't,
• 34:35
  He's just kind of vanilla.
• 34:36
  Lex energy, yeah.
• 34:41
  Charisma.
• 34:41
  Corey says you either love
• 34:42
  James Brigger or you're wrong.
• 34:46
  But I wanted to get your opinion.
• 34:48
  And they really fought over the back end.
• 34:50
  Like, who is the least popular?
• 34:55
  And some of the votes,
• 34:57
  one was for Miko Salo,
• 34:58
  who they convinced to change.
• 35:01
  And then it was really
• 35:02
  between Graham Holmberg and
• 35:03
  James Fitzgerald.
• 35:07
  I'd say Graham.
• 35:09
  Yeah.
• 35:09
  He's definitely become a lot less popular.
• 35:11
  Lots of other things, you know,
• 35:13
  in the space and Jason
• 35:14
  Kalipa is going to be my number three,
• 35:17
  like without argument,
• 35:18
  just because of all this
• 35:19
  stuff that he's into in
• 35:21
  terms of popularity.
• 35:22
  Crossfitters even know who he is.
• 35:23
  Unless you're in California
• 35:26
  on the West coast.
• 35:29
  But he still shows up in
• 35:31
  CrossFit spaces regularly.
• 35:33
  on YouTube and things like
• 35:34
  that from time to time.
• 35:35
  You know, if you were to,
• 35:36
  if you were to just do like
• 35:37
  a CrossFit search on, on Google,
• 35:40
  I think he'd come up way
• 35:41
  more than Ben Smith.
• 35:44
  Yeah.
• 35:45
  But Madaris,
• 35:45
  like he has his own YouTube channel.
• 35:48
  He's dating another CrossFit athlete.
• 35:50
  Yeah.
• 35:50
  I'm trying not to have like a recency bias,
• 35:52
  but I mean, I,
• 35:54
  you can make the argument
• 35:54
  for that for those two as well.
• 35:57
  I'm saying of the older ones
• 35:58
  between Fitzpatrick, Miko Salo,
• 36:01
  Graham Holberg, and Kalipa,
• 36:02
  Kalipa's got to be the most popular.
• 36:04
  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 36:06
  Yeah.
• 36:07
  Miko has a legend about him
• 36:09
  and a documentary that helps his cause.
• 36:11
  Yeah.
• 36:12
  And is why he shouldn't be towards,
• 36:14
  it shouldn't be last.
• 36:15
  But I don't think he jumps
• 36:16
  up into the upper echelon either.
• 36:20
  Yeah, Corey makes a good point.
• 36:22
  This is,
• 36:22
  I always forget that Holberg was a
• 36:24
  champion as well.
• 36:29
  The only thing Graham's
• 36:34
  known for is beating Rich.
• 36:35
  Right.
• 36:36
  Yeah.
• 36:37
  He's the one person... And
• 36:42
  being my friend Becky's ultimate crush.
• 36:44
  That's also what he's known for.
• 36:49
  Yeah, and Kalipa's still around.
• 36:52
  Yeah,
• 36:52
  but he's... Way more popular than
• 36:55
  Holmberg.
• 36:57
  oh yeah yeah yeah I I mean I
• 36:58
  would have I probably would
• 36:59
  put graham last yeah and
• 37:02
  that's tough because he
• 37:03
  lives right here and anyway
• 37:11
  I yeah it's an interesting
• 37:13
  discussion though something
• 37:14
  to think about now I'll
• 37:15
  have to do the ladies yeah
• 37:17
  they're doing the ladies I
• 37:18
  think next week
• 37:21
  I could talk to Corey a lot
• 37:23
  about this one.
• 37:25
  Yes,
• 37:26
  his gym is local and they don't allow
• 37:28
  people to take their shirts off.
• 37:29
  So a bunch of people have left his gym.
• 37:32
  And joined Amy's gym.
• 37:34
  That's one of the gyms.
• 37:36
  A lot of people joined.
• 37:38
  Yeah.
• 37:40
  I was still there then.
• 37:42
  It was a nice influx for Shred.
• 37:44
  Yeah.
• 37:44
  Although it was,
• 37:46
  it's people love comparing
• 37:48
  pictures because all the
• 37:49
  pictures of Graham,
• 37:50
  like doing CrossFit are without a shirt.
• 37:52
  So.
• 37:52
  Yeah.
• 37:53
  Yeah.
• 37:55
  Jay Birch says if they had
• 37:56
  posted the video of me
• 37:57
  showing Kalipa how to calf
• 37:59
  rope at the games,
• 38:00
  there would be no question.
• 38:03
  Can we talk about calf
• 38:04
  roping for a second?
• 38:04
  Cause I went to the rodeo
• 38:06
  over the weekend and while
• 38:08
  I love bull riding and Bronco riding,
• 38:11
  and I think barrel racing is bad-ass.
• 38:14
  I hate the calf roping.
• 38:16
  And I noticed this for the first time.
• 38:19
  I've been to a handful of rodeos,
• 38:21
  but those calves get like
• 38:23
  choked out during that
• 38:24
  process where they get
• 38:27
  roped around the neck and
• 38:28
  then they get pulled.
• 38:30
  And as they're pulling,
• 38:31
  they're like urinating themselves.
• 38:34
  and then getting hogtied,
• 38:35
  and they have to sit there
• 38:36
  for six seconds.
• 38:37
  And then the guys that run
• 38:38
  the ring have to go quickly
• 38:41
  and un-noose them and
• 38:45
  agitate them to get them to
• 38:46
  gain consciousness again.
• 38:49
  I was cheering for the Cavs.
• 38:51
  Every time the lasso missed, I was like,
• 38:55
  yay, go.
• 38:57
  It was so bad.
• 38:58
  I don't...
• 38:59
  It bothers me so much.
• 39:01
  And here's my other pet
• 39:03
  peeve at the rodeo.
• 39:05
  Every time any of these
• 39:06
  riders are announced, the male riders,
• 39:09
  It's, oh, this guy's got, you know,
• 39:11
  thirty dollars left until
• 39:13
  he makes the pro tour.
• 39:14
  And this guy's been doing
• 39:16
  this for thirty years.
• 39:17
  And this guy's out of Oklahoma.
• 39:19
  And this one is this all the things.
• 39:21
  And then you get to the barrel races.
• 39:23
  Right.
• 39:24
  And it's females doing the barrel races.
• 39:26
  So impressive.
• 39:27
  They're like super fast
• 39:28
  zipping around these barrels.
• 39:30
  And it's everybody.
• 39:32
  Welcome, Emily, to the ring.
• 39:35
  That's all they say.
• 39:36
  Like they barely give a last name.
• 39:38
  They don't say where they're from.
• 39:39
  They don't say how old they are.
• 39:40
  They don't say how long
• 39:40
  they've been doing this.
• 39:41
  Like nothing.
• 39:42
  The announcers don't give
• 39:43
  any like color commentary
• 39:44
  on the women in the thing.
• 39:46
  And I'm like, you know, not like super,
• 39:49
  super feminist, but like, geez, look,
• 39:51
  give us a little bit of credit.
• 39:53
  That bugs me.
• 39:53
  Yeah.
• 39:54
  Anyway, sorry.
• 39:56
  That's my man.
• 39:57
  I like your calf roping and
• 39:58
  no steer wrestling either.
• 40:00
  Like you're breaking their
• 40:01
  neck to put them on the ground.
• 40:02
  That's dumb.
• 40:03
  If you want to ride bulls
• 40:04
  and jack up their balls to
• 40:05
  make them jump or whatever, that's fine.
• 40:08
  But, and if you want to barrel race,
• 40:11
  great.
• 40:13
  Yeah, exactly.
• 40:13
  Corey.
• 40:14
  And, but, but, you know,
• 40:16
  show the women a little bit
• 40:17
  of respect and at least
• 40:18
  like say their last name
• 40:19
  and maybe talk about where they're from.
• 40:21
  It was crazy.
• 40:25
  But we just got all the
• 40:26
  rodeo subscribers to jump in.
• 40:29
  See?
• 40:30
  If you're a rodeo fan,
• 40:31
  hit that subscribe button.
• 40:33
  Tell me about it.
• 40:33
  Let's talk about it.
• 40:34
  I like the episode.
• 40:36
  I've never been to a rodeo in my life.
• 40:40
  That and you know what else
• 40:41
  is making me mad lately is zoos.
• 40:44
  I went to a zoo and it's like...
• 40:47
  I can't stand.
• 40:48
  The poor little lion is just
• 40:50
  like running around and, you know,
• 40:52
  like making a path,
• 40:53
  dirt path for himself.
• 40:55
  And oh, so sad.
• 40:58
  The otters still make me
• 40:59
  very happy because they
• 41:00
  seem really happy otters.
• 41:01
  But a lot of those bigger animals don't.
• 41:05
  No,
• 41:05
  they are from Africa and they walk
• 41:07
  miles and miles per day in real life.
• 41:09
  And they just turn around and spin.
• 41:11
  Yeah.
• 41:12
  Sounds pretty miserable.
• 41:14
  Jenny says that my mom barrel raced.
• 41:17
  so cool that's that might be
• 41:18
  my new I might that might
• 41:20
  be my new endeavor oh my
• 41:22
  gosh yeah I'm always trying
• 41:23
  something new because you
• 41:26
  tore two hamstrings trying
• 41:27
  to pull right I'm sure this
• 41:29
  hand can handle holding on
• 41:30
  to a set of rings real hard
• 41:32
  and oh my gosh I have to
• 41:33
  tell you real quick because
• 41:34
  I know you have a one
• 41:35
  o'clock meeting I think I
• 41:37
  enter do you remember um I interviewed
• 41:40
  Shana, Shana, Shana Bunce.
• 41:42
  Yeah.
• 41:43
  She won legends.
• 41:44
  And then she was in the
• 41:45
  games and in the behind the
• 41:47
  scenes after the whole
• 41:49
  thing's over and she didn't
• 41:50
  finish where I thought,
• 41:52
  I think she thought she was
• 41:53
  going to finish.
• 41:54
  And she looked in the camera.
