  Grab a plate, tune in now,
• 0:46
  you part of the fam.
• 0:51
  It's lunchtime.
• 0:54
  What is going on, everybody?
• 0:56
  We are back.
• 0:57
  That was very Broadway-esque.
• 0:58
  I don't even know what it was, dude.
• 1:02
  It is lack of sleep sing.
• 1:04
  That's what that is.
• 1:06
  I slept about nine hours last night,
• 1:11
  which is like at least two hours more
• 1:14
  than I normally would,
• 1:15
  and that's at a minimum.
• 1:16
  I slept probably eight last night,
• 1:18
  like a good eight sleep,
• 1:22
  but I'm making up for lost time.
• 1:24
  Oh, yeah, I bet.
• 1:26
  I absolutely bet.
• 1:27
  But you know what helped me with my
• 1:28
  eight-hour sleep?
• 1:30
  A little sack of thirdsy.
• 1:32
  Take a scoop,
• 1:33
  put it in my blender bottle,
• 1:35
  a little bit of water, shake it up,
• 1:37
  chug that thing down.
• 1:39
  and uh got a good restful recovered sleep
• 1:44
  even though it was only eight hours i'm
• 1:46
  just i just gotta play catch up for
• 1:47
  a couple days it'll be fine dude you'll
• 1:49
  recover even fifteen percent off code
• 1:52
  jazzy at checkout that is thirdsy.com
• 1:55
  backslash jazzy you know what you know
• 1:59
  what doesn't thirdsy doesn't stop thirdsy
• 2:02
  doesn't stop me singing our theme song at
• 2:04
  three o'clock in the morning every time i
• 2:06
  get up to pee
• 2:07
  Oh, yeah, a hundred percent.
• 2:08
  It hits me randomly during the day, dude.
• 2:11
  It hits me randomly during the day.
• 2:12
  If I hear something like my Generation X,
• 2:17
  you know, word association brain, because,
• 2:19
  you know,
• 2:19
  we used to play word association games all
• 2:21
  the time.
• 2:22
  I'll hit something like it doesn't even,
• 2:24
  it's just one word from the song and
• 2:26
  all of a sudden I'm,
• 2:28
  Lunch with the Clydesdale.
• 2:31
  One of our dudes in our EMOM group
• 2:33
  has signed up in the Clydesdale division
• 2:35
  for a triathlon.
• 2:36
  And as soon as he put that in
• 2:38
  the group,
• 2:38
  I sang the entire song to myself.
• 2:39
  Yeah.
• 2:39
  Well,
• 2:41
  there's nothing like singing a cowboy in
• 2:43
  the saddle as you're peeing.
• 2:45
  As you're peeing.
• 2:49
  That's fantastic.
• 2:54
  This may be proof that this song is
• 2:56
  better than the Sunday song.
• 2:59
  I don't disagree with that.
• 3:01
  I don't.
• 3:02
  It's a lot easier with just the two
• 3:03
  of us.
• 3:04
  One of us is Clydesdale.
• 3:05
  One's a cowboy.
• 3:06
  They just go together.
• 3:08
  It's easier to make a song about a
• 3:10
  horse and a cowboy than it is about
• 3:13
  a hockey player, a gritty athlete,
• 3:16
  gritty Masters athlete,
• 3:18
  and a dude that talks a lot.
• 3:20
  Yeah.
• 3:22
  Right?
• 3:23
  A hundred percent.
• 3:26
  So it just is what it is, man.
• 3:28
  It's fine.
• 3:32
  Meg got nine hours,
• 3:33
  didn't even know it was eight thirty when
• 3:35
  she woke up.
• 3:36
  dude that's so I flew home yesterday and
• 3:42
  the Kansas City Airport is a solid thirty
• 3:46
  five minutes from Kansas like it's out in
• 3:49
  the middle of nowhere at this point flight
• 3:52
  was at six fifteen and I am the
• 3:54
  not the get at get to the airport
• 3:55
  at the last minute and hope for the
• 3:56
  best guy like I'm not doing that so
• 3:59
  I woke up at three o'clock in the
• 4:00
  morning
• 4:02
  Got my stuff together, loaded up,
• 4:04
  rolled out.
• 4:05
  Had to stop with gas in the rental
• 4:06
  before I dropped it off.
• 4:07
  Like all of the all that shit.
• 4:10
  And got a little bit of sleep on
• 4:12
  the plane.
• 4:13
  Got a little got more on the second
• 4:15
  on the second flight, dude.
• 4:17
  So you tell people this because it's
• 4:21
  incredible.
• 4:23
  So Southwest does assigned seating now,
• 4:26
  right?
• 4:26
  Like that's a thing now.
• 4:29
  And whenever you, like I had,
• 4:32
  we used points and I just,
• 4:33
  I was like,
• 4:33
  I don't really care where I sit.
• 4:35
  There's nobody else coming with me.
• 4:36
  If I'm in the middle seat, whatever.
• 4:39
  Both flights there, sat in the middle.
• 4:42
  First flight home, sat in the middle.
• 4:44
  Second flight home was on a window seat
• 4:47
  in the very first aisle.
• 4:52
  Which has not happened since I came home
• 4:55
  from basic training or was going back to
• 4:58
  actually basic training in my travel
• 5:02
  attire for the army.
• 5:04
  And they were like, oh,
• 5:05
  we're going to upgrade you to, you know,
• 5:07
  whatever, just because I was in uniform.
• 5:09
  FYI, more leg room for one.
• 5:15
  Not that I need a whole lot of
• 5:16
  leg room, but still, it's not the point.
• 5:18
  I could stretch my legs out a little
• 5:19
  bit and had that nice, just like,
• 5:22
  I'm just going to sleep my head up
• 5:23
  against this window.
• 5:25
  And that was completely random.
• 5:27
  It wasn't even a thing.
• 5:29
  So I actually got a deal on my
• 5:31
  trip home where I could upgrade for one
• 5:33
  hundred and twelve dollars to first class.
• 5:35
  What?
• 5:36
  Yes.
• 5:36
  Here is my hundred and twelve dollars.
• 5:38
  And you get free checked bags when you
• 5:40
  upgrade to first class.
• 5:41
  So take the forty five dollar bag fee
• 5:43
  off.
• 5:44
  Sixty bucks.
• 5:45
  First class.
• 5:46
  I'm flying overnight.
• 5:47
  I just want to sleep.
• 5:49
  Well worth it.
• 5:50
  Well worth it.
• 5:51
  That's awesome.
• 5:55
  However, people are rude.
• 5:57
  I was in the first seat on my
• 5:58
  last from Minneapolis to Columbus.
• 6:02
  Guy beside me has like a whole mining
• 6:05
  outfit that he's got to get down from
• 6:06
  the overhead.
• 6:07
  Yeah.
• 6:08
  Helmet, lamp.
• 6:10
  All the things.
• 6:11
  Yeah.
• 6:12
  And he,
• 6:12
  he comes down and then I go to
• 6:16
  get up and move.
• 6:17
  And all these people like dark past me
• 6:20
  to get off the plane.
• 6:23
  And about the fourth one went by and
• 6:25
  I'm like, F this.
• 6:27
  And I threw an elbow and a shoulder
• 6:28
  and,
• 6:30
  Let's go.
• 6:32
  I'm getting off the plane.
• 6:33
  Yeah.
• 6:36
  People are so – people are incredible.
• 6:39
  Sometimes it's good.
• 6:40
  Sometimes it's bad.
• 6:41
  Usually on flights, it's pretty bad.
• 6:43
  I will say that.
• 6:47
  The six-foot-plus guy walking in seeing
• 6:49
  Corey in his seat, it was probably livid.
• 6:52
  So a couple sat next to me on
• 6:54
  that flight, like from Chicago back to,
• 6:58
  back to New Orleans.
• 6:59
  And the dude that was on the aisle
• 7:01
  was, is probably six foot three,
• 7:03
  six foot four.
• 7:05
  I have never seen somebody sleep so
• 7:08
  comfortably sitting up in my entire life.
• 7:12
  His wife sat down,
• 7:13
  he sat down and within five minutes he
• 7:17
  was out completely and just
• 7:21
  like that the entire time when we landed
• 7:23
  i was uh talking to his wife for
• 7:25
  a second and i said and he woke
• 7:27
  up and you know you live here blah
• 7:30
  blah whatever and they were coming in to
• 7:31
  visit and i said man i admire your
• 7:33
  ability to just sleep sitting up that was
• 7:37
  i was actually pretty awe-inspiring to
• 7:38
  watch well um i did see uh ken
• 7:45
  walters in here where's that at
• 7:47
  Where the hell were you hiding all week?
• 7:49
  I met and saw everyone and anyone but
• 7:51
  you.
• 7:52
  Here's the crazy thing, Ken.
• 7:54
  First of all,
• 7:55
  I spent the first couple days at the
• 7:56
  Masters games.
• 7:58
  So I was not even at the SAP
• 8:00
  Center or anything around the SAP Center.
• 8:03
  And I met a ton of people at
• 8:04
  the Masters games.
• 8:06
  Met a lot of people that listened,
• 8:08
  took selfies, did the whole bit, right?
• 8:11
  Saw David Johnston,
• 8:13
  who's in the chat there.
• 8:14
  Saw him out there giving it his all.
• 8:19
  us hung out with Shanna Bunce this
• 8:20
  weekend.
• 8:22
  Um, really great time.
• 8:24
  So then we get over to the SAP
• 8:26
  center for Friday, Saturday, Sunday,
• 8:28
  and the media room and the media seats
• 8:30
  were down by the rig and to get
• 8:33
  to like any place other than it,
• 8:36
  we were just,
• 8:36
  we were in a really nice room with
• 8:39
  a lot of accommodations other than
• 8:41
  outlets.
• 8:43
  Um,
• 8:45
  To get up and around to anybody was
• 8:48
  hard because we were at a level where
• 8:49
  you couldn't go to another level without
• 8:52
  going out to the seats and getting up
• 8:54
  and around.
• 8:55
  It was just weird.
• 8:58
  And just for mirror's lice.
• 9:05
  But did you get pocket tacos?
• 9:07
  I did not get pocket tacos.
• 9:09
  I didn't.
• 9:10
  So I finally got up on Sunday,
• 9:13
  and I just started walking around the
• 9:14
  arena.
• 9:16
  And I went out,
• 9:16
  and I went to Vendor Village,
• 9:17
  and I walked around Vendor Village.
• 9:19
  I didn't see a damn soul.
• 9:21
  Really?
• 9:22
  I bet you I made two laps of
• 9:24
  the upper deck.
• 9:25
  It wasn't upper deck.
• 9:26
  It's how you get down to the lower
• 9:28
  seats, but the concourse around it.
• 9:30
  And I made two,
• 9:32
  three laps around Vendor Village on Sunday
• 9:34
  at different times.
• 9:35
  Didn't see a soul.
• 9:36
  Damn.
• 9:39
  Cause there was a big gap between the
• 9:42
  machine thing in the morning,
• 9:45
  then all the teams and then the
• 9:48
  individuals finishing off the afternoon.
• 9:51
  And so I got to meet Jason born
• 9:54
  this weekend.
• 9:57
  Outstanding human being.
• 9:59
  Big shout out to him.
• 10:02
  Also got to meet Mr.
• 10:03
  Peter Benoit right there from the chat,
• 10:05
  who is eight hundred feet tall.
• 10:07
  FYI, very, very fit dude.
• 10:10
  He was competing this weekend.
• 10:12
  Me and him chatted Sunday for probably
• 10:14
  thirty five minutes standing there in the
• 10:16
  middle of in the village,
• 10:16
  just talking about all the things that had
• 10:18
  happened.
• 10:20
  Awesome dude.
• 10:22
  Who else?
• 10:22
  Who else?
• 10:23
  Who else?
• 10:24
  If you may have seen him around,
• 10:25
  AutisticHiller in the chat.
• 10:27
  I met that guy this weekend.
• 10:30
  I don't know if he's necessarily in ours
• 10:31
  or hold out.
• 10:32
  Yes, he was.
• 10:33
  Talk to that dude.
• 10:38
  Another thirty five,
• 10:38
  forty minutes on Friday, I believe it was.
• 10:43
  Another great human being and just some
• 10:45
  other people that I see on a regular
• 10:47
  basis whenever I go
• 10:49
  Incompete.
• 10:50
  So shout out to all of those people.
• 10:52
  Shout out to my girl Toya for keeping
• 10:54
  me in her basement all weekend.
• 10:59
  Can't thank them enough, dude.
• 11:00
  Cannot thank them enough.
• 11:02
  Anything I needed,
• 11:03
  including apparently knee sleeves,
• 11:04
  which I own now, which are awesome.
• 11:08
  Good stuff.
• 11:09
  Seriously good stuff.
• 11:11
  So I got to meet Meg and Joe.
• 11:14
  Meg more jacked than I thought.
• 11:15
  Joe much taller than I thought.
• 11:16
  Really?
• 11:17
  Really?
• 11:19
  How short do you think he was, dude?
• 11:22
  No, dude, dude.
• 11:23
  No,
• 11:24
  I actually thought he was smaller than I
• 11:25
  thought.
• 11:27
  Yeah.
• 11:28
  He is a very small man.
• 11:31
  Like jacked.
• 11:33
  Yeah.
• 11:35
  And the nicest guy ever.
• 11:38
  But I would not say taller than I
• 11:42
  thought.
• 11:45
  Meg is not as mean as she is
• 11:47
  in the chat.
• 11:49
  so she's worse no no she is she
• 11:51
  is a delight in person but i can
• 11:54
  like i said this to them straight up
• 11:58
  you you meet people online and when you
• 12:00
  know you're going to meet them in person
• 12:01
  you wonder like is it going to be
• 12:03
  are they going to meet expectations or not
• 12:06
  absolutely joseph and meg far exceeded my
• 12:09
  expectations yeah man they were just
• 12:13
  wonderful human beings
• 12:15
  And the way Meg,
• 12:17
  they went to Whole Foods to eat all
• 12:19
  the time, right?
• 12:20
  She comes back with a sandwich like yay
• 12:23
  thick.
• 12:25
  Somehow she got her mouth the whole way
• 12:27
  around that thing.
• 12:30
  Good job, Meg.
• 12:31
  And ate it like it was her job.
• 12:35
  That's actually what I did Thursday
• 12:37
  whenever I got into Kansas.
• 12:38
  I went to Whole Foods and got some
• 12:41
  stuff off the hot bar because if you've
• 12:44
  never gotten stuff,
• 12:45
  food from the hot bar at Whole Foods,
• 12:46
  you are missing out because those people
• 12:48
  had their stuff together.
• 12:49
  It is amazing.
• 12:52
  So I kind of took the...
• 12:54
  I kind of took a different approach this
• 12:56
  year.
• 12:56
  I really was laid back about kind of
• 12:58
  everything.
• 12:58
  I didn't want to stress out about all
• 12:59
  the stuff I, and the first,
• 13:03
  the first day or two at the masters,
• 13:06
  I was trying to get some content of
• 13:07
  like Carolyn and Jamie.
• 13:09
  And I put out a reel of Jamie
• 13:10
  stuff and I got one going for Carolyn.
• 13:13
  Um, and hopefully it'll be out today.
• 13:16
  But I started that at the,
• 13:18
  at the individualist.
• 13:19
  I was like, you know what?
• 13:21
  You have this guy, Ishmael, uh,
• 13:25
  E captures best in the business.
• 13:28
  Why are you trying to even remotely
• 13:30
  compete with him?
• 13:32
  Yeah.
• 13:33
  And, uh, and so then I just said,
• 13:35
  you know,
• 13:36
  I'm going to sit back and enjoy the
• 13:37
  games and I'm going to watch it.
• 13:38
  Cause what do I do really?
• 13:40
  What is my role to talk,
• 13:42
  to talk about what I see.
• 13:45
  So why try to capture it all with
• 13:46
  a camera?
• 13:48
  And I just want to show a couple
• 13:49
  of shots that, that Ishmael took.
• 13:51
  Yes, please.
• 13:54
  Um, this picture that he did,
• 13:56
  I don't know if you can see it.
• 13:57
  Well,
• 13:58
  he took three pictures and layered them of
• 14:00
  Dallin hitting the buzzer.
• 14:03
  That's awesome, dude.
• 14:04
  Like I could never do anything close to
• 14:06
  that.
• 14:06
  Why the hell,
• 14:08
  why the hell would I even try?
• 14:13
  And then, dude,
• 14:17
  one of the reasons I couldn't sleep when
• 14:18
  I got home yesterday was because this
• 14:22
  carousel of pictures of the champ and her
• 14:28
  entourage is like half a million views
• 14:34
  right now.
• 14:35
  It's going to get more than that.
• 14:37
  And how many,
• 14:38
  the likes are like in an insane, like,
• 14:41
  twenty-two thousand nine hundred likes.
• 14:45
  Likes, not views,
• 14:48
  not actual people harking it.
• 14:50
  Yeah, people going, no, no, no,
• 14:51
  that looks fantastic.
• 14:52
  And my notifier would not stop the entire
• 14:56
  time.
• 14:59
  And at the same time,
• 14:59
  he put out the MailChimp,
• 15:02
  him and his wife.
• 15:06
  Oh, I haven't seen these.
• 15:08
  Him and his dad.
• 15:09
  That's outstanding.
• 15:15
  And these are at like three hundred
• 15:17
  thousand views with nine thousand likes.
• 15:23
  when you look at the insights and you
• 15:24
  see how many times these have been
• 15:26
  forwarded shared saved reposted it is a
• 15:31
  i've never been a part of a viral
• 15:33
  thing before yeah right and it is really
• 15:38
  really crazy that's amazing um and so and
• 15:44
  he was doing it all week he did
• 15:46
  here's a real levonica greer finishing
• 15:54
  Coming right at you.
• 15:59
  Here's pictures of just randomness from
• 16:01
  the weekend.
• 16:03
  Oh, Patty.
• 16:08
  Like, I can't do that.
• 16:11
  Well, and again,
• 16:12
  why would you when you have him there
• 16:15
  to do that?
• 16:16
  Right.
• 16:18
  Instead of...
• 16:20
  If I am busy taking pictures,
• 16:23
  I am not busy being in the moment.
• 16:26
  Right.
• 16:27
  So I really just put my camera down
• 16:30
  and said,
• 16:30
  I'm going to let him do his thing.
• 16:32
  Yeah.
• 16:34
  And I'm going to sit back and watch.
• 16:37
  And then Saturday,
• 16:38
  I took some time to watch the stream,
• 16:40
  and I didn't go to the arena because
• 16:43
  I wanted to know what that perspective was
• 16:45
  like.
• 16:46
  Right?
• 16:47
  Because it's different.
• 16:48
  So I really tried to be in the
• 16:49
  moment and do all that.
• 16:52
  And that was really, really cool.
• 16:55
  Because it was very different for me.
• 16:57
  I wasn't like trying to get to this
• 16:59
  and trying to get to that.
• 17:01
  Everybody was doing interviews.
• 17:02
  I didn't need to do more interviews.
• 17:05
  I just needed to do a show that
• 17:06
  night or that next morning to talk about
• 17:08
  it.
• 17:09
  And so I really got a different.
• 17:12
  You better talk about, hey,
• 17:13
  I'm here and this is what I'm seeing.
• 17:15
  Instead of just talking to people about
• 17:16
  what just happened,
• 17:17
  which is what ninety nine percent of the
• 17:18
  rest of them is going to do anyway.
• 17:21
  Yeah, percent.
• 17:24
  Before we get into too much more, though,
• 17:26
  my shirts came three hours before my
• 17:28
  flight took off.
• 17:29
  I saw that.
• 17:30
  Or after my flight took off.
• 17:32
  So I do have them here.
• 17:35
  I've got a bunch of them.
• 17:37
  If anybody is interested in getting a
• 17:38
  Clydesdale Media shirt,
• 17:41
  they are light blue.
• 17:43
  They have the logo that you see.
• 17:45
  It's kind of what you see behind me.
• 17:47
  It's a little deeper blue than what that
• 17:49
  sign is.
• 17:51
  But it's that logo with Clydesdale over
• 17:53
  the top,
• 17:54
  media under the bottom in a circle-ish
• 17:56
  manner.
• 17:58
  What I need you to do is you
• 18:00
  can,
• 18:01
  they're going to be thirty two dollars and
• 18:02
  that includes shipping.
• 18:05
  Thirty two bucks shipped, baby.
• 18:08
  And you can Venmo me.
• 18:11
  at scott-soitzer-one.
• 18:17
  And the last four of my phone,
• 18:19
  if they ask it, is six, eight, four,
• 18:22
  nine.
• 18:24
  And then in the memo, put your name,
• 18:27
  your address, and the size.
• 18:29
  That would be helpful.
• 18:32
  You do that.
• 18:33
  And then I will ship them out.
• 18:35
  I'll start shipping them out as soon as
• 18:37
  I get orders.
• 18:38
  They're all here.
• 18:39
  I bought all the shipping materials.
• 18:41
  So it's all ready to go.
• 18:43
  Uh, we just have to,
• 18:46
  or if you don't have Venmo and you
• 18:48
  are like cash app,
• 18:49
  my cash app name is the dollar sign.
• 18:53
  S W I T Z Thor T H
• 18:56
  O R. Oh, okay.
• 19:05
  um so and thirty two dollars shipped that
• 19:10
  includes everything to your door just um
• 19:16

• 19:20
  shanna i yeah they did not ask me
• 19:24
  for men or women i just picked a
• 19:25
  bunch of sizes so
• 19:33
  I like that.
• 19:35
  Can I get one that says hater of
• 19:37
  DDSP on the back?
• 19:39
  And Vicky, who's in the background,
• 19:41
  said you can buy the letters and iron
• 19:43
  them on the back.
• 19:44
  So...
• 19:48

• 19:54

• 20:04
  form shirt also very nice and they give
• 20:06
  us our names to be able to be
• 20:09
  heat pressed on there and you can go
• 20:11

• 20:12
  he would press them on there for you
• 20:13

• 20:19
  who's an absolute treat like i love that
• 20:21
  dude so much he is he's super kind
• 20:24
  he's unbelievably fit and he just seems to
• 20:26
  be on his own planet most of the
• 20:28
  time right he shows up i think it
• 20:32
  was saturday it was either i don't know
• 20:35
  if it was friday or saturday when i
• 20:37
  saw him but like when you bring it
• 20:39
  to thick boy they put your name on
• 20:41
  the back right got leonard written across
• 20:44
  the back of mine
• 20:46
  Brandon shows up,
• 20:48
  the shirt's got Monster Games logo all the
• 20:51
  way across the front of it.
• 20:52
  And then right here across the top,
• 20:54
  it says Williams.
• 20:58
  I said, Brandon, what?
• 21:02
  He said,
• 21:03
  I used the iron in my room and
• 21:04
  I just put it on myself.
• 21:06
  Messed up the S right here a little
• 21:08
  bit.
• 21:09
  He's just running around with Williams
• 21:13
  right across the front.
• 21:14
  And it's on the top, dude.
• 21:17
  It almost looks like a soccer jersey from
• 21:19
  a really low South American league where
• 21:22
  they have just decals and stuff just
• 21:25
  written all over it.
• 21:26
  Or like a...
• 21:29
  like a racing jersey or a racing shirt
• 21:31
  where they just have all the sponsor
• 21:33
  stuff.
• 21:33
  But we just got Williams written across
• 21:36
  the front.
• 21:37
  So we were laughing because of that.
• 21:39
  He was laughing because of that.
• 21:40
  The next day, John Gleich,
• 21:42
  who is the fittest guy to never make
• 21:44
  the games,
• 21:45
  rolls up and he's got Gleich on Sunday
• 21:48
  written across.
• 21:49
  I said,
• 21:50
  you just couldn't help yourself or what?
• 21:51
  He's like, I mean,
• 21:52
  it's different than everybody else's.
• 21:53
  It looks pretty cool.
• 21:56
  Well,
• 21:56
  the games jerseys were name on the front.
• 22:00
  Yeah, but probably, yeah, but like here.
• 22:03
  No, they were up more.
• 22:06
  Yeah, probably not.
• 22:07
  It looked almost like, you know,
• 22:09
  you've seen the people with the neck
• 22:10
  tattoos or the no regerts.
• 22:14
  That's what it reminded me of.
• 22:15
  Because it was right here.
• 22:17
  Because it was right there at his
• 22:19
  neckline.
• 22:20
  Like it wasn't right here and blazing
• 22:22
  across the chest.
• 22:23
  It was right here.
• 22:25
  It looked fantastic, dude.
• 22:28
  Oh.
• 22:29
  Vicky said she's just going to drive down
• 22:32
  to your house and pick hers up.
• 22:33
  That's fine.
• 22:38
  That is fine.
• 22:39
  Anyway.
• 22:43
  uh no regerts yeah that is one of
• 22:46
  my favorite movies of all time oh dude
• 22:49
  i did i get to meet tyson i
• 22:53
  did not which is probably for the best
• 22:56
  because god only knows what happened scott
• 22:59
  would have been bear down yeah yeah i
• 23:07
  yeah it just i wanted to be with
• 23:11
  my friends at the masters games yeah
• 23:14
  sure and and that took precedence over it
• 23:17
  all i you know getting to see carolyn
• 23:20
  win was awesome i can't even imagine dude
• 23:25
  my my only my only beef is that
• 23:29
  i didn't get to see no win because
• 23:31
  they were going at the same time yeah
• 23:34
  um but i thought i don't know if
• 23:37
  you saw carolyn's instagram and um
• 23:41
  She got a picture with Noah,
• 23:42
  the two champs of the thirty five to
• 23:44
  thirty nine.
• 23:45
  It's pretty cool.
• 23:46
  Like two multiple time CrossFit Games
• 23:50
  athletes.
• 23:53
  Winning the thirty five to thirty nine.
• 23:56
  Good for them, man.
• 23:57
  Good for them.
• 23:58
  I'm happy for Noah, bro.
• 23:59
  I really, really am.
• 24:01
  I've never been the hugest fan of him
• 24:03
  necessarily,
• 24:03
  but I know how hard it is to
• 24:05
  get to where he's at, right?
• 24:09
  And how hard he's been trying for so
• 24:11
  long just to be able to do,
• 24:13
  you know,
• 24:13
  to be able to stand on top of
• 24:14
  that podium and coming close,
• 24:17
  but never actually hitting it.
• 24:18
  So good for him for knocking it out
• 24:21
  over the weekend.
• 24:29
  He was so cool with everybody at the
• 24:32
  Masters games.
• 24:33
  He just was walking around as part of
• 24:35
  the community,
• 24:35
  which is the coolest part of the Masters
• 24:37
  games.
• 24:39
  All the athletes just walk around and hang
• 24:41
  out.
• 24:41
  What was super cool is on Thursday,
• 24:43
  the last day,
• 24:44
  some of the athletes were coming in.
• 24:47
  Not athletes,
• 24:48
  but the coaches and stuff were coming in.
• 24:57
  I used to,
• 24:58
  Cole Sager was at the Masters Games
• 24:59
  coaching.
• 25:01
  Fisa Goff,
• 25:01
  he came over and hung out because of
• 25:03
  Scott.
• 25:05
  It just was really cool to see these
• 25:07
  other athletes come over and do all that
• 25:08
  kind of stuff.
• 25:11
  Yeah,
• 25:11
  David Johnson sent me a picture of him
• 25:13
  and Lito together.
• 25:14
  That was pretty cool.
• 25:15
  He goes, you know this chick?
• 25:17
  And I said, I know who she is.
• 25:18
  I don't know her,
• 25:18
  but I definitely know who that is.
• 25:20
  She's hard to miss.
• 25:21
  That top five finish?
• 25:22
  Dude, she killed it.
• 25:24
  I think she took fourth, right?
• 25:26
  I want to say that is correct, yeah.
• 25:32
  Yeah, she's just awesome.
• 25:35
  I think from the time I met Leto
• 25:38
  till now,
• 25:39
  she is increasingly getting more and more
• 25:42
  fit, which is hard to believe.
• 25:45
  Yeah.
• 25:48
  But it was cool.
• 25:49
  I saw her and her husband.
• 25:51
  I met them a year ago at the
• 25:52
  Columbus Games,
• 25:54
  and it was really fun seeing them.
• 25:58
  Yeah, I met Wayne Short,
• 26:01
  who's been in the chat for a long
• 26:03
  time now.
• 26:04
  He actually gave me my plan for next
• 26:07
  season.
• 26:09
  Oh, okay.
• 26:12
  Mark Phillips is saying she got fifth,
• 26:14
  not fourth.
• 26:14
  She got fifth.
• 26:15
  She was in fourth for a minute,
• 26:18
  so she must have fell back in that
• 26:20
  DT workout.
• 26:23
  And then Jamie in that DT workout, dude,
• 26:26
  she gives me a,
• 26:28
  I told her this exact quote, like,
• 26:32
  it's hard to keep my AFib at bay
• 26:34
  watching you compete.
• 26:38
  She missed the final rep of DT.
• 26:42
  The final rep.
• 26:46
  And then she went to,
• 26:47
  to pull the bar off the ground to,
• 26:48
  to complete it.
• 26:49
  And then just dropped it.
• 26:50
  Like, like, you know,
• 26:52
  when someone lifts it goes, no,
• 26:53
  that's too heavy and just drops it again.
• 26:56
  And then she finally picks it up and
• 26:58
  finishes it.
• 26:59
  And it ended up moving her from eighth
• 27:02
  to eleventh.
• 27:03
  That, that missed rep.
• 27:07
  That missed rep alone because that's how
• 27:08
  tight it was at that spot.
• 27:10
  And for her to come in where she
• 27:12
  did in a games where she was hurt
• 27:15
  was freaking phenomenal.
• 27:21
  She's a whole different species, dude.
• 27:23
  She really is.
• 27:23
  It's ridiculous.
• 27:25
  Shout out to Carolyn one more time.
• 27:29
  She's unreal.
• 27:31
  She really is.
• 27:33
  She is.
• 27:34
  Mackenzie Riley and her were going
• 27:35
  toe-to-toe most of the weekend,
• 27:37
  and it was fun to watch, dude.
• 27:40
  So fun.
• 27:41
  Again,
• 27:41
  two former games athletes just going
• 27:43
  toe-to-toe.
• 27:46
  Shannon got to arm wrestle Travis Bajan.
• 27:49
  Did she win?
• 27:50
  I don't know.
• 27:51
  Shannon gave me a hug.
• 27:53
  I got to tell the story.
• 27:55
  So she thought I didn't like hugs,
• 27:56
  but she gave me a hug anyway when
• 27:58
  we first met.
• 27:59
  And I'm like,
• 28:00
  I don't have a problem with hugs per
• 28:02
  se, right?
• 28:03
  I'm just a big guy.
• 28:04
  And like,
• 28:04
  I'm worried that I'm going to come on
• 28:07
  as a creeper or whatever if I try
• 28:10
  to hug on people.
• 28:11
  So I'm very reluctant to hug because I
• 28:14
  just don't know how people feel.
• 28:16
  Sure.
• 28:17
  So we were at the SAP Center,
• 28:19
  and Shannon and I were talking for like,
• 28:21
  twenty minutes,
• 28:21
  having a really good conversation.
• 28:23
  And she goes, okay, I'm going to go.
• 28:26
  I'm like, well,
• 28:27
  now we're going to do a hug.
• 28:28
  Now that I know that, like, it's okay,
• 28:31
  we're going to do a hug.
• 28:32
  She squeezed me so tight.
• 28:36
  Like, that woman is strong.
• 28:38
  Oh, I bet.
• 28:40
  And she said, yeah,
• 28:41
  I did that to Dave Castro one time,
• 28:42
  and he said too tight,
• 28:43
  so I went harder.
• 28:47
  too tight.
• 28:48
  Okay.
• 28:54
  Oh, Jeremy, you jackass.
• 28:56
  uh don't worry about him most bear fans
• 28:59
  yeah i did a show with him in
• 29:00
  the glintons the other night yeah i know
• 29:03
  right after you left yeah i was on
• 29:04
  jeremy's internet so like i kept going in
• 29:07
  and out just being down there um i
• 29:09
  was literally in in their basement and i
• 29:12
  have i have connections i wouldn't have
• 29:13
  connection i would have connection i
• 29:14
  wouldn't have connection and i needed to
• 29:16
  honestly i need to get to bed anyway
• 29:17
  because i was getting up shortly after
• 29:19
  that
• 29:20
  And yeah, I'll forget who it was.
• 29:23
  Somebody texted me later and it was like,
• 29:24
  Scott came in right after you left.
• 29:26
  No big deal.
• 29:26
  I was like, sweet, even better.
• 29:28
  Yeah.
• 29:29
  We actually had some really interesting
• 29:31
  conversations.
• 29:32
  Oh, I love those people, dude.
• 29:34
  Every time I go on there, it's fantastic.
• 29:37
  It was about like...
• 29:39
  should you put an asterisk on different
• 29:41
  game seasons and stuff like that it was
• 29:44
  really good if you didn't see it glint
• 29:46
  and things sunday night no sunday yes
• 29:48
  sunday night sunday night yep um can you
• 29:54
  pull up the sean in oregon one vicky
• 29:59
  the one you start there we go the
• 30:00
  stands look somewhat empty empty on the
• 30:02
  youtube stream what was the crowd like for
• 30:05
  the events it was not empty in that
• 30:07
  arena
• 30:10
  First of all, you have to remember,
• 30:11
  this is the largest arena the CrossFit
• 30:13
  Games have ever been in.
• 30:16
  So the lower bowl on Saturday and Sunday
• 30:20
  were pretty well full.
• 30:25
  And the center sections up above in the
• 30:27
  upper deck were three quarters full.
• 30:33
  And I would say the seats that were
• 30:34
  the least full were the finish line seats,
• 30:37
  which would have been the most expensive
• 30:39
  ones.
• 30:40
  Which had tracks, right?
• 30:41
  Yeah.
• 30:43
  It was really,
• 30:44
  really much larger than last year for
• 30:49
  sure.
• 30:50
  I was in Albany.
• 30:51
  It was way less last year.
• 30:56
  Way less.
• 30:58
  And the vibes in there were freaking
• 31:00
  awesome.
• 31:00
  It was loud.
• 31:02
  loud that forward backward roll to support
• 31:06
  got so loud in there that's what somebody
• 31:10
  was saying this morning uh was that that
• 31:13
  was probably the thing that the crowd was
• 31:14
  most hyped for was that one or at
• 31:17
  least seemed like it was making the most
• 31:18
  noise for i'm gonna tell you this dude
• 31:20
  watching it from home
• 31:22
  or from where I was anyway,
• 31:24
  just watching it on TV.
• 31:26
  That was wild to watch,
• 31:28
  both in terms of just what they were
• 31:30
  doing, first of all,
• 31:31
  which is insane in and of itself.
• 31:33
  I kept thinking like every time somebody
• 31:35
  would fail one, I was like,
• 31:36
  if I would try that,
• 31:37
  my arm would still be attached.
• 31:39
  Right?
• 31:40
  Like, and by still be attached, I mean,
• 31:42
  like,
• 31:43
  my hand would still be attached to the
• 31:44
  ring and the rest of me would be
• 31:45
  on the ground at some point,
• 31:47
  because my shoulder would just come
• 31:48
  completely separated from my body.
• 31:50
  And then watching people figure it out in
• 31:53
  the middle of the workout was just,
• 31:57
  it's incredible.
• 31:58
  Like, it's...
• 32:00
  know we say oh it's unbelievable it almost
• 32:03
  was unbelievable to actually see that take
• 32:06
  place in real time where all of a
• 32:08
  sudden you know you hear chase or somebody
• 32:09
  say oh they figured it out and you
• 32:11
  kind of see it at the same time
• 32:12
  like oh yeah they just figured it out
• 32:14
  okay i got this now the front the
• 32:17
  forward roll was one thing but that
• 32:19
  backward roll to support holy smokes dude
• 32:23
  that was insane
• 32:24
  Or even like Lucy got one.
• 32:27
  Lucy Campbell got one.
• 32:29
  And how excited she was to get one
• 32:33
  was crazy.
• 32:34
  And I was going to say this,
• 32:36
  John George, who jumped in.
• 32:38
  Pat Vellner had to do his fall from
• 32:39
  something.
• 32:41
  Pat Vellner.
• 32:43
  So I was thinking about this earlier.
• 32:44
  Yeah.
• 32:47
  pat velner almost recreated every single
• 32:51
  epic fail moment he's had what since being
• 32:54
  a games athlete in this weekend like the
• 32:57
  only thing that that would have come in
• 32:58
  that that had been better is if he
• 33:00
  came in last on the run completely just
• 33:02
  just strolled in looking behind him to see
• 33:04
  if anybody else was coming he fell off
• 33:07
  the rings and what multiple times twice
• 33:11
  not just once yeah
• 33:13
  um and what's crazy is he was really
• 33:15
  good at it like he was he was
• 33:17
  in contention to win the thing and still
• 33:19
  fell off twice yeah his pedal fell off
• 33:22
  on the bike within what like like he
• 33:25
  had the most pad and then he wins
• 33:31
  this deadlift event like he he had the
• 33:33
  most pad builder weekend possibly dude
• 33:36
  possible i i
• 33:38
  I got to say this, man.
• 33:41
  The grace that they showed him and the
• 33:43
  standing ovation that he got in the arena
• 33:46
  was freaking awesome.
• 33:48
  Good dude.
• 33:49
  Yeah, he took a year off.
• 33:50
  Yeah, he had some thoughts,
• 33:52
  but he came back and he was welcomed,
• 33:54
  and it was freaking awesome.
• 33:56
  He is a legend, an OG,
• 33:58
  and he deserved every bit that he got.
• 34:00
  Won two freaking events again.
• 34:03
  It was awesome.
• 34:05
  And I want to say this too,
• 34:06
  when we're talking about like kind of the
• 34:10
  reconciliation and comeback of things,
• 34:13
  Matt Fraser,
• 34:14
  how about Matt Fraser being there,
• 34:17
  participating,
• 34:18
  doing an event announcement,
• 34:20
  but picking one of the workouts that got
• 34:23
  up for the poll for the hopper needing
• 34:27
  to shave his beard.
• 34:29
  Awesome.
• 34:32
  Didn't he shave his beard?
• 34:33
  Dude,
• 34:35
  he got out there and it's just like,
• 34:38
  this giant like he looked like somebody's
• 34:41
  uncle but that only you see at certain
• 34:44
  certain events at and holidays and whatnot
• 34:47
  and i understand like that his level of
• 34:49
  give a is probably pretty low at this
• 34:53
  point right when it comes to stuff like
• 34:55
  that but like he just him being out
• 34:57
  here's matt fraser and the camera went to
• 35:00
  him and i was like holy smokes he
• 35:02
  looks homeless like hey man
• 35:06
  I'm going to need you to just trim
• 35:08
  it up some, dog.
• 35:09
  That's it.
• 35:10
  That's all you really need to do.
• 35:11
  He can look however he wants.
• 35:13
  He won the games five times.
• 35:15
  The fact that he was there.
• 35:17
  Yeah, I know.
• 35:17
  The fact that he participated.
• 35:19
  Good for him, dude.
• 35:21
  The fact that he let bygones be bygones.
• 35:25
  Yep.
• 35:26
  You're a parent.
• 35:29
  have a pull-up i don't know if you
• 35:31
  guys can see it um this is new
• 35:34
  to the show uh matt's beard yay or
• 35:36
  nay um when you become a father like
• 35:43
  your perspective on things just changes
• 35:45
  yeah absolutely
• 35:49
  And it just seemed like Matt was in
• 35:51
  a different headspace.
• 35:53
  Let bygones be bygones and let's go have
• 35:55
  fun.
• 35:56
  I will say this, dude.
• 35:57
  He genuinely looked like he was having fun
• 35:59
  when he was on.
• 36:01
  He looked happy, calm, peaceful,
• 36:04
  whatever you want to call it.
• 36:07
  Just making the announcement,
• 36:08
  doing the things that he was doing out
• 36:10
  there.
• 36:11
  He looked like happy Matt,
• 36:13
  which is not something we're necessarily
• 36:16
  used to seeing at this point, right?
• 36:19
  Good stuff.
• 36:21
  Jeremy says,
• 36:22
  never took Corey as one who attacks
• 36:24
  homeless people.
• 36:25
  Hey, bro.
• 36:26
  One of my best friends is the fittest
• 36:27
  homeless dude I know.
• 36:28
  It's fine.
• 36:29
  Chris Real.
• 36:34
  Where is it at?
• 36:36
  Ken Walters.
• 36:38
  It was a bummer more champions didn't make
• 36:40
  it on the women's side, i.e.
• 36:41
  daughters.
• 36:42
  What's crazy is like, first of all,
• 36:45
  and I said this on one of the
• 36:47
  weekend shows, it bummed me out that,
• 36:49
  okay, Rich's plane got delayed,
• 36:51
  but we didn't know that in the arena.
• 36:53
  Yeah.
• 36:56
  when they knew that they should have put
• 36:57
  up the placard on the Jumbotron,
• 36:59
  like they did for every other champion
• 37:00
  said,
• 37:01
  Rich was trying to make it as playing
• 37:03
  got delayed so that you knew why he
• 37:05
  wasn't there.
• 37:05
  It wasn't a protest.
• 37:06
  It wasn't, it wasn't,
• 37:08
  I just couldn't get it in time.
• 37:10
  Right.
• 37:10
  Out of all the people,
• 37:12
  people were shitting on like less, maybe,
• 37:15
  maybe,
• 37:15
  maybe you want to give Rich Froning a
• 37:17
  little bit of grace that like, yeah, dude,
• 37:19
  I'm coming.
• 37:21
  Like took a step to like, yeah, it,
• 37:25
  They could have mitigated that.
• 37:26
  Sam Briggs was there all weekend,
• 37:28
  but something made it so she couldn't be
• 37:31
  there.
• 37:31
  I don't know what that reason was,
• 37:33
  but she was there over the weekend.
• 37:34
  But I mean, life happens.
• 37:40
  So.
• 37:45
  Meg.
• 37:46
  Well,
• 37:46
  after hanging out with Joseph and his
• 37:48
  beard, Matt has to clean it up.
• 37:50
  Maybe Matt saw Joseph's beard.
• 37:54
  like at some point and is growing it
• 37:56
  out so that he can put the braids
• 37:58
  in it.
• 37:59
  Maybe that's what it is.
• 38:01
  I'm going to give the man some grace
• 38:03
  and say that that's where he's going.
• 38:05
  He saw Joseph's beard and he's like,
• 38:06
  you know what?
• 38:07
  That's a great look.
• 38:09
  I'm going for that.
• 38:10
  Him and Joseph are about the same size,
• 38:14
  roughly.
• 38:15
  I'm sure Matt's probably a little taller,
• 38:16
  but I mean, whatever.
• 38:19
  No, where is it at?
• 38:22
  They didn't do that for any of the
• 38:23
  champions that didn't show up.
• 38:25
  But Andrew, Rich was trying to show up.
• 38:27
  That's the difference.
• 38:29
  His plane got delayed.
• 38:31
  The whole plan was for him to be
• 38:32
  there and to participate.
• 38:35
  They could have let the crowd know why.
• 38:37
  There's too much drama in CrossFit to let
• 38:39
  that just out there and for people to
• 38:42
  wonder.
• 38:43
  Yep.
• 38:45
  I agree.
• 38:48
  If you never plan to come,
• 38:49
  I get it.
• 38:50
  Don't put his up because of the others.
• 38:52
  Yeah, if he just flat turned him down,
• 38:54
  that's one thing, dude.
• 38:55
  But like OPT was there for Christ's sake.
• 38:59
  Jody, Julie Gentry?
• 39:02
  Jolie Gentry.
• 39:03
  Jolie Gentry.
• 39:04
  It's a combination of the two.
• 39:06
  Yeah, it is.
• 39:10
  It's like Jody and Judy in the chat
• 39:12
  that everybody gets mixed up,
• 39:14
  which it's really Jolie.
• 39:19
  Jolie Gentry, OPT.
• 39:23
  Andrew Sten, disagree.
• 39:24
  CrossFit people need to just not read so
• 39:25
  much into things.
• 39:26
  And we can all go to Narnia and
• 39:28
  hang out with Azul the Lion or whatever
• 39:33
  and do all the fun stuff.
• 39:37
  That ain't ever going to happen.
• 39:39
  No.
• 39:41
  It's a knee-jerk reaction.
• 39:43
  I guarantee,
• 39:44
  especially all the people watching at home
• 39:46
  and then somebody says something in the
• 39:47
  comments.
• 39:48
  and that's a wrap all of a sudden
• 39:50
  everybody's just piling on oh which didn't
• 39:52
  come oh rich didn't come rich didn't come
• 39:55
  didn't come blame southwest or delta or
• 40:00
  whoever like i'm pretty sure again if
• 40:05
  anybody is going to deserve a little bit
• 40:08
  of grace it's probably the the uh
• 40:12
  patriarch of the mayhem empire mr rich
• 40:15
  from junior
• 40:17
  aslan that's correct mark sorry i'm over
• 40:19
  fifty five now i get i have the
• 40:22
  right to mispronounce names moving forward
• 40:29
  yeah look andrew andrew owning it right
• 40:33
  there got it andrew said sorry just me
• 40:39
  hoping people actually act like mature
• 40:41
  adults my mistake brother
• 40:44
  It's an unfortunate fact that people are
• 40:47
  not going to act like adults.
• 40:49
  So I shook Andrew's hand on Wednesday,
• 40:53
  maybe.
• 40:56
  And, you know,
• 40:56
  him and I have been going back and
• 40:57
  forth for weeks prior to Legends at
• 41:02
  running the Masters.
• 41:03
  I let him take a shot.
• 41:05
  I was there.
• 41:05
  I'm like,
• 41:05
  I'm right here in front of you.
• 41:06
  Let's go.
• 41:10
  But we just shook hands and took the
• 41:12
  Matt Rich picture.
• 41:14
  Oh, yeah, the completely not staged.
• 41:17
  Yeah.
• 41:20
  We're friends.
• 41:21
  It's fine.
• 41:21
  We've moved on.
• 41:25
  I know someone mentioned,
• 41:26
  I wish they would have,
• 41:27
  I think it was Sean in Oregon,
• 41:28
  wish they had done a tribute to Pat
• 41:32
  like they did for Brooke Wells.
• 41:36
  And I hated the Brooke Wells one.
• 41:39
  Yeah, I did too.
• 41:40
  So I would have rather had that one
• 41:42
  deleted than to have another one because
• 41:45
  you never know when it's going to be
• 41:47
  your last games.
• 41:48
  No.
• 41:50
  You know,
• 41:50
  it's very rare that someone announces,
• 41:51
  hey, this is my final run and blah,
• 41:54
  blah, blah.
• 41:56
  But Brooke was the meanest person to the
• 42:03
  third-party media in the history of
• 42:07
  CrossFit.
• 42:10
  And then you do this big tribute.
• 42:12
  We were all puking in the back.
• 42:20
  So I don't know.
• 42:21
  I would have rather deleted it.
• 42:24
  You could have had...
• 42:26
  A Pat,
• 42:27
  like an actual Patrick with just a bunch
• 42:29
  of clips from interviews,
• 42:32
  like the thing of him coming in from
• 42:34
  the runs when one at the end,
• 42:36
  everybody's saying they wish there was a
• 42:37
  video.
• 42:37
  They,
• 42:38
  they announced it like this is his last
• 42:40
  run as he was leaving the floor for
• 42:42
  the last time they made a big freaking
• 42:44
  deal about it.
• 42:45
  Yeah.
• 42:46
  When he won the one event,
• 42:47
  they talked about it being his last run
• 42:49
  and why it was important to do it
• 42:51
  in front of his two sons and his
• 42:53
  wife being there.
• 42:55
  He got flowers and love the whole weekend.
• 43:00
  The video thinks just lame.
• 43:03
  I don't know.
• 43:04
  I think his, in particular,
• 43:07
  could have been entertaining just from all
• 43:09
  the stuff.
• 43:10
  Like,
• 43:10
  you could have just put a blooper reel
• 43:11
  up.
• 43:12
  Him chasing the plate across the floor
• 43:14
  during Aeneas when it's just in the
• 43:16
  background and you see a yellow plate and
• 43:20
  then Pat, oh, no,
• 43:21
  I got to get my, like...
• 43:23
  falling off the cargo net, coming in,
• 43:25
  just looking behind him and see if anybody
• 43:27
  else was trying to run up behind him
• 43:29
  on the run, swim, run.
• 43:31
  Like all of the things, dude.
• 43:33
  And plus all the highlight stuff that he
• 43:35
  did, like walking off after the...
• 43:38
  But we all have that vivid in our
• 43:40
  memories.
• 43:42
  They announced...
• 43:43
  Because now it's in a montage.
• 43:43
  As he was leaving the floor for the
• 43:45
  last time, hey, everybody, Pat Vellner,
• 43:49
  legend in the sport,
• 43:51
  heading off the floor and they it was
• 43:53
  a standing ovation yeah like to me that's
• 43:57
  the best tribute ever I don't need to
• 43:59
  see all the video footage again yeah I'm
• 44:04
  going to agree to disagree on that one
• 44:10
  whatever he doesn't read books Jeremy it's
• 44:12
  fine yeah there you go and yes
• 44:22
  And the weekend was so positive and there
• 44:24
  was so much fun stuff.
• 44:25
  And it was,
• 44:26
  it really came off well in the arena.
• 44:28
  Like to nitpick that Pat didn't get a
• 44:31
  video is just looking for something to
• 44:33
  hate on.
• 44:35
  No, I don't think, yeah, that's,
• 44:37
  I think that's kind of sick.
• 44:38
  A hundred percent.
• 44:40
  you're just gonna nitpick that one thing
• 44:42
  like oh they didn't give pat a tribute
• 44:44
  video they gave one to to uh brooke
• 44:47
  whatever who by the way wasn't finished
• 44:50
  competing because she went and did wfp
• 44:52
  after that but yep and rogue and rogue
• 44:56
  anyway the only person to ever be honored
• 45:03
  with a video was brooke matt fraser won
• 45:08
  five in a row
• 45:11
  in a row and they didn't they didn't
• 45:15
  say shit whenever he left it was like
• 45:16
  hey matt fraser and we knew that was
• 45:19
  his last one like it wasn't a oh
• 45:22
  maybe sort of kind of whatever no no
• 45:24
  no so daniel arnson looking for something
• 45:32
  to hate is my job and that's why
• 45:34
  he hands out the dumb dumb stupid pants
• 45:35
  awards ddsp baby
• 45:45
  There it is.
• 45:46
  Shanna said she was bawling in the stands
• 45:48
  when he left the floor.
• 45:51
  I remember back in the day,
• 45:52
  like Stacey Tovar just took her shoes off
• 45:55
  and left them on the floor and walked
• 45:56
  off.
• 45:57
  Like that's how it was done back in
• 45:58
  the day.
• 46:07
  So didn't Tia leave her shoes on the
• 46:09
  floor and came back and won three more?
• 46:12
  Or she came back, put them back on,
• 46:14
  tied them up.
• 46:16
  I was just kidding.
• 46:19
  Just joking, y'all.
• 46:21
  Sorry.
• 46:22
  So here's the question.
• 46:24
  After watching Amy absolutely decimate the
• 46:26
  field all weekend,
• 46:29
  what's going to happen next year?
• 46:32
  well if you listen to um is it
• 46:36
  ari ari metosian interviewed her and asked
• 46:39
  her if she was coming back and she
• 46:41
  said after she saw what amy was doing
• 46:43
  it might be fun to compete against her
• 46:47
  ari ari had some of the best interviews
• 46:49
  when he asked colton what he had for
• 46:50
  breakfast and then colton just answered
• 46:52
  him yeah that was so awesome dude avi
• 46:56
  avi avi yeah i uh
• 47:00
  we've i've talked about this all weekend i
• 47:03
  don't i don't know if i'm if i'm
• 47:05
  tia i don't know if that's i don't
• 47:07
  know if i want that smoke i think
• 47:10
  tia does want that smoke if she is
• 47:16
  okay if she's the competitor that
• 47:19
  everybody has built her up in their brains
• 47:21
  to be myself included right as a
• 47:24
  competitor i don't want to go and come
• 47:28
  and beat
• 47:30
  for lack of a better word, scrubs.
• 47:32
  I don't want to go beat the B
• 47:33
  team.
• 47:34
  I don't want to go beat.
• 47:34
  I want to beat the best on the
• 47:38
  floor, period.
• 47:40
  And especially somebody like her, like,
• 47:42
  and dominate them, not just beat them.
• 47:43
  Like,
• 47:43
  I want to beat the crap out of
• 47:44
  them.
• 47:45
  She ain't dominating Amy Kringle.
• 47:48
  I don't think she will either.
• 47:49
  But what I'm getting at is that without
• 47:51
  taking the floor again,
• 47:52
  she's never going to have the opportunity
• 47:53
  to see and to really test herself.
• 47:56
  How many points did she win the last
• 47:58
  game?
• 47:58
  Five.
• 48:03
  I don't know.
• 48:04
  Vicky will find it.
• 48:04
  I have no idea.
• 48:05
  A hundred points, two hundred points,
• 48:07
  whatever.
• 48:07
  A hundred, two hundred points, right over.
• 48:08
  The last one's before that.
• 48:10
  Two hundred somewhat odd points, right?
• 48:12
  It's never been in question.
• 48:15
  Well, other than Cara.
• 48:16
  Other than Cara.
• 48:17
  The two-point victory over Cara.
• 48:19
  Which is her first time winning.
• 48:21
  And she had one other down year where
• 48:23
  it wasn't quite as big a gap.
• 48:26
  Right.
• 48:27
  Once.
• 48:29
  So that's two out of eight?
• 48:34
  Mike DeVito,
• 48:35
  I'm not saying she would mop the floor
• 48:38
  with her,
• 48:40
  but Tia is in no way afraid of
• 48:42
  the smoke.
• 48:43
  I'm team Amy all day,
• 48:44
  but Tia said her hands are rated E
• 48:47
  for everyone.
• 48:51
  I just, I, listen,
• 48:55
  do I think Amy wins if they go
• 48:58
  head to head?
• 48:58
  I don't know.
• 49:00
  I think it's actually an epic battle.
• 49:03
  I think that's the thing that's going to
• 49:04
  get people is that they don't know.
• 49:08
  Right?
• 49:09
  So if you don't know,
• 49:12
  now it's intriguing again.
• 49:16
  My argument to everybody is she's now the
• 49:20
  mother of two children.
• 49:22
  Sure.
• 49:23
  Right?
• 49:24
  Which is going to take priority.
• 49:29
  She also is another year older.
• 49:31
  She'll be two years older since the last
• 49:33
  time she took the floor.
• 49:37
  Age is undefeated.
• 49:39
  I don't disagree.
• 49:42
  So to apply just because she's been
• 49:46
  dominant forever to the future is
• 49:49
  irresponsible.
• 49:54
  And the one thing that Amy showed is
• 49:56
  she doesn't have deficit handstand pushup
• 49:59
  problems like somebody else.
• 50:02
  No, she does not.
• 50:04
  She showed no weakness.
• 50:08
  No.
• 50:08
  What was her biggest weakness?
• 50:10
  Her back squat?
• 50:11
  Okay.
• 50:13
  Moving right along.
• 50:14
  There you go.
• 50:15
  A hundred and eighty points in twenty
• 50:17
  twenty five hundred fifty one points in
• 50:19
  twenty twenty four.
• 50:21
  What Amy went by a hundred and twenty.
• 50:24
  Yeah.
• 50:25
  Something like that.
• 50:26
  That doesn't tell the whole story because
• 50:27
  the top three were two hundred points
• 50:30
  ahead of the rest of the rest of
• 50:32
  the field.
• 50:32
  Sure.
• 50:33
  And then she beat them by another one
• 50:35
  twenty.
• 50:39
  I just want to be honest,
• 50:40
  if you watch that final event,
• 50:43
  she's just trying to be clean.
• 50:45
  Oh, that's it.
• 50:46
  She was not trying to do...
• 50:48
  She was not trying to hurt herself at
• 50:50
  all.
• 50:50
  None whatsoever.
• 50:51
  Like, nope.
• 50:52
  This is in the bag.
• 50:53
  I just don't need to do...
• 50:55
  I don't need to fumble this bag.
• 50:56
  That's it.
• 50:57
  I don't need to do anything stupid,
• 50:58
  hurt myself, or I can't complete it.
• 50:59
  That's basically all there is to it.
• 51:02
  I just... Two kids or not,
• 51:05
  and I don't disagree that it takes some
• 51:09
  time away as far as that's concerned,
• 51:12
  but she's still Tia Tickler to me.
• 51:17
  To be the best, what do they say,
• 51:18
  Scott?
• 51:19
  To be the best,
• 51:19
  you got to beat the best?
• 51:24
  I want to see it.
• 51:26
  Personally, I want to see it.
• 51:27
  Okay, you want to see it.
• 51:28
  I don't.
• 51:29
  I want to see it.
• 51:30
  Look, this is the stuff that gets me,
• 51:33
  right?
• 51:34
  I have to address this.
• 51:36
  I will bet you right now that she
• 51:38
  wins next year.
• 51:39
  That's Tia.
• 51:41
  That Amy had twenty events.
• 51:42
  Why is Amy having twenty events in
• 51:44
  advantage of
• 51:47
  She over twenty events showed zero holes.
• 51:52
  They threw everything at the but the
• 51:54
  kitchen sink at her.
• 51:55
  Right.
• 51:57
  And she never there was new stuff they
• 51:59
  didn't even know about.
• 52:01
  And she was crushing it.
• 52:10
  Yep.
• 52:10
  More Phillips got a point.
• 52:11
  She's very, very well prepared.
• 52:15
  But I want to see,
• 52:16
  like what Meg's saying,
• 52:17
  I want to see a fight.
• 52:19
  I want to see a fight too.
• 52:21
  I'm just telling you,
• 52:22
  analytically looking at it,
• 52:25
  I think Kringle gives her everything she
• 52:27
  wants.
• 52:28
  A hundred percent.
• 52:29
  Which would make for a hell of a
• 52:31
  show.
• 52:32
  This is the true thing.
• 52:34
  Is Tia willing to lock it down?
• 52:38
  Because she will need to lock it down
• 52:41
  for another year.
• 52:43
  as a mother of two with a thriving
• 52:46
  business is she is she willing to lock
• 52:49
  it down for another year that's a huge
• 52:52
  commitment you know how much content we'd
• 52:59
  have oh my gosh so let me ask
• 53:05
  you this do you think tia makes an
• 53:07
  announcement one way or another the next
• 53:08
  next few weeks
• 53:09
  She's never made an announcement ever
• 53:11
  about anything.
• 53:13
  We already know when the open is.
• 53:15
  Well, if she signs up for the open,
• 53:16
  then that's the announcement.
• 53:19
  I don't think we'll get anything other
• 53:20
  than that.
• 53:25
  Winning with a hundred plus points is
• 53:27
  easier with twenty events than with ten in
• 53:30
  that you need to be a lot more
• 53:31
  dominant with ten events.
• 53:33
  That's why I think Tia wins.
• 53:36
  Leo's not wrong.
• 53:38
  If you've got a smaller amount of events,
• 53:40
  you can make fewer mistakes.
• 53:44
  Fewer fumbles.
• 53:46
  Okay, tell me the mistake that Amy made.
• 53:48
  Oh, no, I'm not disagreeing with you.
• 53:50
  She was a hundred points ahead way before
• 53:53
  the twentieth event.
• 53:55
  On like day two.
• 53:56
  Like halfway to day two.
• 54:01
  Just point to the event where she showed
• 54:03
  a weakness where she wouldn't be dominant.
• 54:08
  The five hundred meter sprint was so
• 54:11
  impressive.
• 54:13
  Like that's all I'm asking.
• 54:15
  She dog walked everybody.
• 54:17
  It wouldn't even, it wouldn't even,
• 54:18
  it wouldn't even, gosh, just,
• 54:22
  just take the ranch run and the sprint.
• 54:26
  Yeah.
• 54:29
  She won five events before day two was
• 54:33
  done before.
• 54:34
  Yeah, she did.
• 54:44
  The winning by a hundred points Lito also
• 54:46
  has a lot to do with your competition.
• 54:50
  Well, I think,
• 54:51
  I don't think Lito is necessarily like
• 54:52
  trying to poke holes in Amy's thing,
• 54:55
  but for either one of them,
• 54:57
  it doesn't matter if it's Tia or if
• 54:59
  it's Amy at this point,
• 55:02
  It's way different with ten events than it
• 55:04
  is with twenty.
• 55:06
  I get what she's saying.
• 55:08
  I hear you.
• 55:09
  But those three women, Lucy, Emma,
• 55:14
  and Amy,
• 55:15
  had a two hundred point lead on the
• 55:17
  field midway through Saturday.
• 55:21
  Yeah.
• 55:22
  They separated themselves.
• 55:23
  Everybody else was fighting for top five
• 55:24
  at that point.
• 55:25
  And that was way more competition in the
• 55:28
  top three than Tia ever had other than
• 55:31
  twenty seventeen.
• 55:32
  Yeah.
• 55:33
  And she still beat them by one twenty.
• 55:36
  And she had the hundred point lead halfway
• 55:38
  through Saturday, which was insane.
• 55:43
  Like it of itself.
• 55:48
  Tia has nothing to prove,
• 55:49
  but it would be great for the sport
• 55:50
  if she does.
• 55:51
  CrossFit wins if those two go head to
• 55:53
  head.
• 55:54
  This is what I'm going to say,
• 55:55
  Peter CrossFit only wins if they take
• 55:59
  advantage of it.
• 56:01
  Oh, absolutely.
• 56:03
  I've been taking crap for this.
• 56:06
  CrossFit should have known Amy had the
• 56:08
  potential to be at least a top five
• 56:11
  competitor and marketed her before this
• 56:13
  game.
• 56:15
  The fact that women's fitness put her on
• 56:17
  the cover of a magazine before she won
• 56:19
  the games shows that they are more in
• 56:22
  tune with what is happening in CrossFit
• 56:25
  than CrossFit themselves.
• 56:30
  So it's all well and good.
• 56:33
  And I said that CrossFit did nothing to
• 56:35
  market her.
• 56:36
  And I got a message last night showing
• 56:40
  me the road to the games with Kringle,
• 56:42
  Lightfoot and Clemens.
• 56:45
  It was a twenty five minute road to
• 56:46
  the games that Amy was in for like
• 56:48
  five minutes.
• 56:50
  And probably just because she was training
• 56:52
  partners with Harry.
• 56:58
  It's ridiculous how little that they
• 57:01
  pushed her.
• 57:02
  I'm so sick of the CrossFit media just
• 57:05
  rehashing what we've already seen.
• 57:10
  So, okay, Tia comes back.
• 57:12
  How is it going to be marketed?
• 57:15
  If she comes back,
• 57:16
  it should be monthly releases of the two
• 57:21
  of them training leading up to it.
• 57:25
  It's Rocky III.
• 57:27
  Yeah, Jeremy says something about Rocky V.
• 57:29
  That doesn't even exist in my mind.
• 57:31
  No, but it's Rocky III.
• 57:33
  Yeah, Rocky III or IV.
• 57:36
  Or IV, either one.
• 57:40
  Tia's the Russian, and Amy is Rocky.
• 57:44
  Yeah.
• 57:52
  She doesn't look like a superhero.
• 57:53
  That's a fact.
• 57:55
  CrossFit HQ is about to be in their
• 57:56
  feelings if they watch this.
• 57:58
  It's the truth.
• 58:00
  It is.
• 58:01
  It's the truth.
• 58:08
  If she dies, she dies.
• 58:10
  Yeah, Tia would say that.
• 58:12
  I was about to say Tia would say
• 58:14
  that.
• 58:15
  If she dies, she dies.
• 58:16
  That is absolutely fantastic.
• 58:22
  It's absolutely fantastic.
• 58:23
  And it's true.
• 58:24
  I think it would be good.
• 58:25
  Let's talk.
• 58:26
  Can we talk about James?
• 58:26
  We got enough time to talk about James
• 58:28
  right quick.
• 58:28
  Like if for no other reason than the
• 58:29
  fact that I just want to bring this
• 58:31
  up.
• 58:31
  Well, I got to get to work,
• 58:32
  but can we do this tomorrow or is
• 58:35
  it something that you have to say?
• 58:37
  It's in my head.
• 58:38
  I just want to give a shout out
• 58:38
  to James because he is the first male
• 58:41
  in the history of the games to win
• 58:44
  two titles and not do it in back-to-back
• 58:47
  years.
• 58:48
  And that has got to be,
• 58:51
  if that's not noteworthy,
• 58:52
  I don't know what is.
• 58:53
  Because everybody else who's won multiple
• 58:55
  titles,
• 58:56
  and there's really only two people, right?
• 58:58
  It was Rich and Matt.
• 59:01
  They went on these runs.
• 59:03
  James wins, comes back next year,
• 59:05
  doesn't win, comes back a year after that,
• 59:08
  and wins again.
• 59:09
  And in a dogfight the entire time with
• 59:12
  Dallin, especially on that last day.
• 59:15
  um that is just unbelievably impressive i
• 59:21
  was anyway i don't know i don't know
• 59:24
  the significance of winning different
• 59:26
  years the reason that matt and rich didn't
• 59:29
  do is because they just never lost like
• 59:33
  you'd have to lose one to do it
• 59:37
  So there's a different perspective to
• 59:39
  that.
• 59:40
  One,
• 59:40
  I think James just proved he's really damn
• 59:44
  fit,
• 59:45
  and it's going to take a perfect games
• 59:48
  to beat him.
• 59:49
  He proved that there shouldn't be an
• 59:51
  asterisk next to his name for his first
• 59:53
  win?
• 59:53
  I don't believe in asterisks.
• 59:54
  Ask Jeremy.
• 59:55
  We had this debate the other night.
• 1:00:00
  I just thought that was – just because
• 1:00:02
  nobody's done it.
• 1:00:05
  again it's because he lost last year that
• 1:00:09
  he was able to do it right yep
• 1:00:11
  so it's more impressive to me that matt
• 1:00:13
  won five rich one four justin one two
• 1:00:15
  yeah it's just that that's the first time
• 1:00:19
  that happened
• 1:00:20
  I don't know.
• 1:00:21
  We can get into that tomorrow because I
• 1:00:22
  know you got to go.
• 1:00:22
  But like the parody in the sport is
• 1:00:24
  kind of starting to finally show up a
• 1:00:26
  little bit in my mind anyway because of
• 1:00:28
  the more dogfighting type stuff.
• 1:00:30
  Somebody wins, they lose, they come back,
• 1:00:32
  they win again within three years.
• 1:00:36
  I like that a lot.
• 1:00:41
  Let's get the if she dies,
• 1:00:43
  she dies thing off there.
• 1:00:46
  All right.
• 1:00:47
  Well,
• 1:00:47
  I got to nothing I wrote down to
• 1:00:49
