  Thanks for watching!
• 0:35
  What is going on, everybody?
• 0:38
  Live from the road.
• 0:39
  Lunch with the Clydesdales.
• 0:40
  It's lunchtime, everybody.
• 0:42
  Time to gather up.
• 0:45
  What is going on?
• 0:47
  So I am on the road.
• 0:51
  Got to come back.
• 0:58
  Check in.
• 0:58
  Got to eat.
• 1:04
  We are a little bit of the five G,
• 1:10
  but here we go.
• 1:11
  I think we're good now.
• 1:15
  We are about half an hour south of Madison,
• 1:18
  Wisconsin.
• 1:20
  So we're gonna head through there,
• 1:23
  see Madison.
• 1:25
  And then we're headed,
• 1:28
  our goal today is to get as
• 1:31
  close to the Badlands as we possibly can
• 1:34
  Before we call it a day.
• 1:37
  But no real schedule today.
• 1:39
  Hoping to get some lunch.
• 1:40
  Maybe find a park.
• 1:41
  Let the dogs run a little bit.
• 1:44
  And then get back on the road.
• 1:46
  And get as close to the Badlands.
• 1:48
  So we can get up tomorrow morning.
• 1:49
  And check those out.
• 1:51
  And then off to Mount Rushmore.
• 1:54
  And whatever else cool we
• 1:55
  see along the way.
• 1:58
  But really no.
• 2:00
  Not intending to get to.
• 2:02
  Great Falls Montana until Saturday.
• 2:05
  So trying to have a good
• 2:06
  time with all that.
• 2:10
  Yesterday we got a late jump.
• 2:12
  My daughter had an issue
• 2:14
  getting enough stuff into
• 2:16
  her U-Haul trailer and
• 2:18
  getting out of Pittsburgh.
• 2:19
  But we hit the road about
• 2:21
  four o'clock out of
• 2:21
  Columbus and made it just
• 2:23
  north of Chicago last night.
• 2:26
  Crashed at a hotel for a
• 2:28
  little while and now we're
• 2:29
  back at it again today.
• 2:31
  So I hope everybody's having a good day.
• 2:35
  I just finished listening to, well,
• 2:39
  first of all, it's draft day in the NFL.
• 2:42
  I'm super stoked about that.
• 2:44
  I can't believe that it's
• 2:46
  draft day and I left Chicago.
• 2:49
  I could have been in Chicago
• 2:51
  for draft day as the Bears
• 2:53
  were on the clock tonight and I left.
• 2:57
  I left.
• 2:58
  But now I'm in Wisconsin
• 2:59
  where the draft is taking
• 3:00
  place and we're going to
• 3:01
  whiz past that too, so.
• 3:05
  Anyway, can't wait for that tonight.
• 3:07
  Going to probably watch that
• 3:08
  from the hotel room and see
• 3:12
  who the Bears pick up
• 3:13
  tonight and what that may
• 3:15
  do to the future.
• 3:18
  So there's one of the girls
• 3:20
  right now broken up and
• 3:22
  wants to be a star today.
• 3:24
  That is Maple.
• 3:27
  And, yeah.
• 3:31
  So it's me, my daughter,
• 3:32
  and two dogs on the way to Wyoming.
• 3:36
  Anyway,
• 3:37
  I just got finished watching a
• 3:38
  little bit of The Spin from last night.
• 3:41
  I saw they had the AFJ
• 3:43
  members on talking about
• 3:45
  what happened at Mayhem.
• 3:48
  And, yeah, it's a cute dog, Denise.
• 3:54
  Both of the dogs are cute.
• 3:56
  One is Maple and one is Syrup.
• 3:59
  And the funny thing is my
• 4:00
  daughter adopted them with those names.
• 4:03
  She did not put them together that way.
• 4:06
  But, yeah, we have maple and syrup.
• 4:09
  So AFJ last night on the spin.
• 4:15
  I have met both of those
• 4:16
  judges in the past.
• 4:18
  A couple of takeaways here.
• 4:24
  I understand what they're
• 4:24
  saying about the profile page,
• 4:28
  talking about the level one
• 4:29
  or level two remained even
• 4:33
  after it was expired on the profile page.
• 4:36
  But I've had my L one for going.
• 4:39
  It will be ten years in December.
• 4:42
  I can tell you when it expires.
• 4:45
  I can honestly tell you when
• 4:48
  my L one expires.
• 4:50
  I've known that.
• 4:51
  For many years.
• 4:53
  And I know when I have to
• 4:54
  make the decision.
• 4:55
  If I'm renewing it or not.
• 4:57
  And if you are a judge.
• 5:00
  And you don't know that date.
• 5:03
  There's really no excuse.
• 5:06
  They painted a pretty ribbon
• 5:08
  on the whole thing last night.
• 5:10
  Trying to say that there was
• 5:12
  confusion behind it.
• 5:14
  And they wanted to do the
• 5:17
  best they could for the athletes.
• 5:19
  After they discovered it.
• 5:20
  But if you're a professional
• 5:22
  organization trying to make
• 5:26
  your way in this sport,
• 5:28
  that is one thing that you
• 5:30
  should know of every single
• 5:31
  one of your judges is the
• 5:33
  expiration date on those certificates.
• 5:36
  And you should never put a
• 5:37
  judge on the floor that has
• 5:39
  an expired credential.
• 5:46
  And while they're trying to
• 5:47
  say it's a mistake,
• 5:49
  It may have been a mistake,
• 5:50
  but it's a costly one for
• 5:51
  them because the more
• 5:52
  mistakes you make in that realm,
• 5:55
  the less trust you're going
• 5:56
  to get from the camps, from CrossFit,
• 6:03
  from other entities like that.
• 6:05
  And there's a lot of great
• 6:06
  judges out there that
• 6:08
  really deserve a shot,
• 6:09
  and I'd love for them to
• 6:11
  see some compensation on
• 6:15
  accommodations and things
• 6:16
  like that that they're striving for.
• 6:18
  But you're never going to
• 6:19
  get there making mistakes like this.
• 6:24
  Aaron Frazier says, so there we go.
• 6:29
  No excuse for what happened.
• 6:31
  Lucky for the athletes,
• 6:32
  HQ made the exception.
• 6:34
  I completely agree.
• 6:37
  What I find tough to swallow
• 6:42
  is that exceptions were
• 6:46
  made for that specific reason.
• 6:49
  And other people had stupid stuff happen.
• 6:52
  That were mistakes like copyrighted music.
• 6:58
  Things like the accessions
• 6:59
  were not made for them.
• 7:01
  And they lost.
• 7:03
  So, Denise,
• 7:09
  my comment pull up is a little slow.
• 7:12
  So I'm trying to
• 7:16
  There we go.
• 7:16
  Denise,
• 7:17
  I have to have security plus
• 7:19
  certificate for work.
• 7:20
  I know when that expires.
• 7:22
  I view the L-one in the same manner.
• 7:24
  Very well said.
• 7:28
  Aaron,
• 7:28
  it sounds like going forward they're
• 7:29
  going to provide their
• 7:30
  credentials up front.
• 7:32
  Well, yeah.
• 7:34
  Hopefully they learn from
• 7:35
  the mistake and they don't mistake again.
• 7:43
  If you're running that organization,
• 7:45
  that should have been a
• 7:45
  duck that was in its row
• 7:47
  before you went and judged it mayhem,
• 7:51
  in my opinion.
• 7:54
  The other thing that they
• 7:55
  talked about last night was
• 7:57
  that Brian Clapp,
• 7:59
  the one who did have the
• 8:01
  expired credential and was
• 8:03
  the director of competition.
• 8:05
  So not only was he a judge,
• 8:07
  he was part of their executive committee.
• 8:15
  He is the last person that
• 8:16
  that should have happened to.
• 8:18
  But he did resign.
• 8:19
  He did resign from his position.
• 8:23
  I think that is appropriate, probably.
• 8:26
  And hopefully the FJ can
• 8:28
  move on and not run into
• 8:31
  these problems in the future.
• 8:39
  The next thing I was going
• 8:40
  to talk about briefly was...
• 8:43
  Yesterday after Corey and I
• 8:45
  got off the air,
• 8:45
  we were talking briefly
• 8:46
  about the running.
• 8:49
  Piece of the team workouts this.
• 8:55
  that's happening today, starting today.
• 8:58
  And one thing that we kind
• 8:59
  of talked about that kind
• 9:01
  of really brought to light
• 9:02
  that the inequality of the
• 9:05
  running part of the workout,
• 9:08
  I was telling him that
• 9:09
  CrossFit NYC is on the
• 9:12
  second floor of a building
• 9:14
  in downtown Manhattan.
• 9:17
  Can you imagine doing your
• 9:19
  pull-ups to the elevator,
• 9:22
  hitting the call button,
• 9:24
  waiting through your elevator,
• 9:25
  go down to the,
• 9:27
  then run out into the
• 9:28
  streets of Manhattan to run
• 9:29
  your eight hundred meters, come back,
• 9:32
  hit the call button to go back upstairs,
• 9:34
  and then go into the gym.
• 9:37
  Those are the things that
• 9:38
  are not being considered by
• 9:41
  CrossFit by putting a
• 9:42
  running event into the semifinals.
• 9:47
  It is that ridiculous
• 9:53
  I just I can't even express
• 9:55
  enough how dumb that is.
• 9:59
  And, you know,
• 10:00
  Carol mentioned on Sunday night,
• 10:01
  the basement issues, traffic issues,
• 10:04
  traffic lights, things like that.
• 10:09
  Yeah, just crazy.
• 10:16
  Ken Walters back on the
• 10:17
  judging thing good afternoon.
• 10:19
  I agree should require
• 10:21
  Sprint cert on file before
• 10:23
  they are even assigned to
• 10:24
  an event If you're running
• 10:29
  the organization that
• 10:30
  should be one of the first
• 10:31
  things on your list to do
• 10:38
  And then the two on spin
• 10:39
  less they were making
• 10:40
  excuses jy was spot-on with
• 10:43
  his questions I agree
• 10:48
  Corey says, going up?
• 10:50
  I'll just catch the next one.
• 10:52
  Yeah.
• 10:54
  Four sweaty runners trying
• 10:55
  to get on an elevator.
• 10:57
  Can you just imagine?
• 10:58
  So they'll do some ring
• 11:00
  muscle-ups upstairs.
• 11:03
  Ridiculous.
• 11:08
  The other thing I wanted to
• 11:10
  talk about briefly, very briefly,
• 11:13
  is Brian Friend got more
• 11:18
  um stories told on him last
• 11:20
  night on the spin um I was
• 11:23
  I was I was actually a
• 11:26
  little bit taken aback
• 11:27
  because spin has done a
• 11:30
  really I think a really
• 11:33
  commendable job not diving
• 11:35
  into the drama around brian
• 11:39
  friend but I think like
• 11:42
  this a straw was broken and
• 11:45
  down went the camel's back
• 11:47
  And, man, they laid into it last night.
• 11:53
  I'm not going to pile on.
• 11:55
  I'm not going to pile on.
• 11:56
  But, you know,
• 11:58
  when you deal with friends and people,
• 12:04
  breaking trust is a, man,
• 12:11
  I don't even know what to say.
• 12:13
  like I know brian I know all
• 12:16
  the guys that spin I've met
• 12:18
  all the people on savan
• 12:20
  I've met peter with coffee
• 12:21
  pods and lods I know all
• 12:23
  those guys um it's just
• 12:32
  some there's a point where
• 12:34
  you lose your equity
• 12:37
  with people and it looks
• 12:38
  seems like that has
• 12:41
  happened for a lot of
• 12:42
  people in the crossfit
• 12:43
  space and bride friends um
• 12:48
  so hopefully we can all
• 12:50
  move on from this um and
• 12:53
  not let this be the drama
• 12:55
  let the um sports on the
• 12:57
  field become the drama that
• 12:59
  we all follow and uh and
• 13:02
  support and get behind
• 13:08
  This one I love.
• 13:10
  Lito says,
• 13:11
  it could have ended up in a spam folder.
• 13:13
  Is the lamest excuse for why
• 13:15
  he didn't get his L-I review.
• 13:19
  So bad.
• 13:20
  L-I, your L-I,
• 13:22
  if you're a coach or a judge,
• 13:24
  is the most meaningful
• 13:26
  certificate you have.
• 13:27
  You know when it expires.
• 13:29
  It's just like somebody who
• 13:31
  is in a professional field
• 13:36
  field where they have to get
• 13:38
  continuing education
• 13:39
  credits you know when that
• 13:41
  is due you know when you
• 13:42
  have to go get those done
• 13:44
  um and when you have to get
• 13:45
  them done by it is it is
• 13:48
  your livelihood or in this
• 13:49
  case these judges this is
• 13:51
  their passion they know
• 13:52
  when that certificate is up
• 13:55
  spam folder spam folder um
• 14:04
  Ken Walters,
• 14:05
  and they admitted he got a
• 14:06
  notice a month in advance.
• 14:09
  Exactly.
• 14:11
  If he got a notice a month in advance,
• 14:12
  why was he on the floor for that event?
• 14:18
  Jody Lynn.
• 14:20
  I have never listened to the Spin Podcast.
• 14:23
  Wow.
• 14:27
  The one thing I have to give
• 14:28
  the Spin credit for,
• 14:29
  or not the one thing,
• 14:32
  Brian Spinn is the best in
• 14:33
  the business at finding out
• 14:35
  information and breaking news.
• 14:39
  If I don't watch the Spinn podcast,
• 14:42
  I would be behind in the sport.
• 14:44
  He is the best at that.
• 14:48
  So I watch the Spinn podcast
• 14:50
  every week because I can't not.
• 14:56
  And they did give me kudos last night.
• 14:59
  Thanks, Ken.
• 15:00
  Yeah,
• 15:01
  they gave me kudos on my master's
• 15:02
  coverage.
• 15:02
  And the one that means the
• 15:03
  most to me was the kudos
• 15:05
  Brian Stinn gave to me that
• 15:07
  if you want to find an
• 15:09
  interview on an up-and-coming athlete,
• 15:13
  you have to check with the
• 15:14
  Clydesdale first.
• 15:15
  And that's what we really,
• 15:16
  really tried to do.
• 15:18
  We would interview a hundred
• 15:21
  semifinal athletes every year.
• 15:25
  Um, as they're coming up,
• 15:26
  or if we got wind of an
• 15:28
  athlete that was starting
• 15:29
  to make some noise,
• 15:30
  we would reach out to them
• 15:31
  and get them on a podcast,
• 15:34
  do a ton of research and try to be the,
• 15:37
  for a long time,
• 15:38
  it was our goal to be
• 15:39
  everyone's first podcast.
• 15:41
  And we were for a lot of the
• 15:43
  elite athletes that are in space now.
• 15:46
  um we did their first
• 15:47
  podcast we did colton's
• 15:48
  first podcast we did sydney
• 15:51
  wells first podcast we did
• 15:53
  ariel lowen's first podcast
• 15:55
  um yeah like that was our
• 15:58
  goal in it that was a real
• 16:01
  big sense of pride for us
• 16:03
  trying to be the first to
• 16:04
  find these up-and-coming
• 16:06
  athletes and I love my masters athletes
• 16:10
  And it is a passion thing for me.
• 16:14
  And I don't do it for the glory.
• 16:16
  I do it because I love the
• 16:17
  stories of the Masters athletes.
• 16:19
  They've been around a long time.
• 16:21
  They're working forty hours
• 16:23
  a week and they're putting
• 16:24
  in all this time to make it
• 16:26
  to the CrossFit Games.
• 16:28
  Their stories are incredible.
• 16:29
  And I would be sad if I
• 16:31
  didn't get to hear them.
• 16:37
  Denise said,
• 16:38
  I started watching Rich's
• 16:39
  podcast when you went live.
• 16:41
  Not sure if it's clickbait,
• 16:42
  but supposedly Boz, via phone,
• 16:45
  talked about the semifinals
• 16:47
  online qualifying workouts.
• 16:49
  Huh.
• 16:51
  I'll probably check that out
• 16:52
  sometime today.
• 16:54
  Maybe we can talk about that tomorrow.
• 17:05
  Um, Ken,
• 17:06
  I think you're being a little sarcastic,
• 17:08
  uh, but, but Scott it's CrossFit's fault.
• 17:10
  His profile shows that one badge.
• 17:12
  I thought it was current.
• 17:14
  Yeah, no, sorry.
• 17:19
  Um, Corey,
• 17:20
  my insurance license needs to be
• 17:22
  renewed this month.
• 17:23
  I got emails about it almost
• 17:25
  every day from early March through today.
• 17:27
  And it's already been renewed.
• 17:29
  See, um,
• 17:35
  Denise says, I like Tyler and John too.
• 17:37
  Yeah,
• 17:38
  I met Tyler at the games a couple
• 17:39
  years ago when he first was
• 17:42
  doing his fantasy games
• 17:43
  called Lawn Chair Leaderboarding.
• 17:46
  And Tyler was awesome to hang out with.
• 17:48
  Such a good dude.
• 17:50
  And John and I have a lot of
• 17:52
  fun going back and forth with each other.
• 17:57
  I really like John.
• 18:00
  We had some banter online,
• 18:02
  and now we have each
• 18:03
  other's phone number.
• 18:04
  We text, and he's just a good guy.
• 18:12
  Jody's not even sure who he is.
• 18:16
  Well, if you want CrossFit news,
• 18:18
  follow the barbell spin.
• 18:19
  And then you can actually
• 18:21
  hit a notifier when they
• 18:23
  have breaking news.
• 18:24
  It's really...
• 18:25
  I mean, without it, I would be lost.
• 18:28
  Or you can just tune in here every day,
• 18:29
  and I'll just repeat what he says, Jody.
• 18:30
  But I'll give him credit for it.
• 18:41
  Larry says, John bragged on you, too.
• 18:44
  Yeah, I mean, John's a good guy, man.
• 18:47
  And you know, you're his father.
• 18:49
  So you know he's a good dude.
• 18:53
  The only thing that shocked me about that,
• 18:55
  Larry,
• 18:56
  and you probably have more insight
• 18:58
  than anyone,
• 18:59
  is when he was asked what
• 19:00
  surprised him most about
• 19:01
  becoming a father,
• 19:03
  he didn't have an answer.
• 19:04
  Man,
• 19:05
  I had a lot of answers as to what
• 19:07
  surprised me when I became a father.
• 19:11
  So, yeah,
• 19:12
  that's the only thing that
• 19:13
  surprised me about that.
• 19:19
  Ken Walters,
• 19:19
  you have found your own unique
• 19:20
  niche in space.
• 19:22
  I have.
• 19:23
  And I know that we're not
• 19:24
  one of the biggest out there,
• 19:26
  but it's what I love doing.
• 19:27
  And I'll continue doing it
• 19:29
  because it's what I love.
• 19:33
  And early on, I was chasing clicks.
• 19:36
  I was chasing likes.
• 19:37
  I was chasing all this stuff.
• 19:40
  But then what made me
• 19:41
  happiest is just doing what I love to do.
• 19:46
  And that's what this is now.
• 19:48
  And I'll tell you what.
• 19:50
  this lunch thing has been
• 19:51
  the most fun of anything I've done.
• 19:54
  Like just getting to hang
• 19:55
  out with you guys every day.
• 19:57
  Uh,
• 19:57
  but our Sunday night show with Carolyn
• 19:58
  and Jamie, it may be small,
• 20:01
  but what the engagement
• 20:02
  that that show gets,
• 20:04
  the numbers are through the roof.
• 20:06
  Um, I,
• 20:08
  I cannot believe the impression
• 20:11
  click through rate we're getting, um,
• 20:13
  for a show that small, um,
• 20:15
  the numbers are
• 20:16
  astronomical in this space.
• 20:19
  Um,
• 20:21
  So, yeah, it's a lot of fun.
• 20:23
  And that show,
• 20:25
  like really what that show
• 20:26
  does is there's no show out
• 20:27
  there with a female athlete
• 20:29
  perspective on a consistent basis.
• 20:31
  And Carolyn and Jamie give
• 20:34
  that to you guys.
• 20:35
  And it's a sport where the
• 20:39
  women's side is just as
• 20:40
  popular as the men's.
• 20:42
  And we need the female
• 20:44
  perspective at times.
• 20:46
  And so that's what I like
• 20:47
  about that show and why I
• 20:50
  wanted to put it together.
• 20:51
  And I'm glad that it's
• 20:53
  starting to really roll.
• 20:56
  Denise says, you were my first podcast.
• 20:58
  I know.
• 20:59
  And that's awesome.
• 21:01
  And your story is incredible.
• 21:03
  Your first podcast is one of
• 21:05
  my favorite episodes of all time.
• 21:07
  The stuff that you overcame
• 21:09
  to get to where you are today.
• 21:11
  I mean, Denise,
• 21:12
  you are an inspiration for
• 21:14
  so many people out there.
• 21:22
  Larry says,
• 21:23
  John doesn't give a lot of
• 21:24
  people props except Austin.
• 21:26
  Yeah.
• 21:27
  And he gives Austin so many props.
• 21:33
  Ken Walters.
• 21:34
  Those ladies are fun.
• 21:35
  It's fun picking on the Canadian.
• 21:38
  Yeah.
• 21:39
  And until we lose in a
• 21:40
  hockey match and then she
• 21:42
  goes all red and white on us.
• 21:47
  Uh,
• 21:53
  uh lito says would you
• 21:54
  consider doing a bit
• 21:55
  earlier for us europeans
• 21:57
  you know it's really late
• 21:58
  for me doing that show
• 21:59
  myself um but I guess
• 22:03
  inside baseball so
• 22:05
  carolyn's a teacher and
• 22:06
  sundays are her day to
• 22:07
  grade papers and so grading
• 22:13
  of papers is done
• 22:15
  And then Jamie is a night owl.
• 22:18
  She would rather the show at ten p.m.
• 22:20
  instead of earlier.
• 22:22
  So the fact that I'm
• 22:23
  actually getting getting
• 22:26
  them that early is a task.
• 22:32
  Kat says on the road.
• 22:34
  Love it.
• 22:35
  Yeah, I got this new iPad.
• 22:36
  It's awesome.
• 22:38
  It's thirteen inch screen.
• 22:39
  I can see all the controls
• 22:41
  for StreamYard and I can
• 22:43
  run it all from this iPad.
• 22:45
  I just need to get, like, a good mic.
• 22:50
  And I think that we'll be set.
• 23:00
  Larry says, like,
• 23:02
  he didn't say anything
• 23:03
  about his mom driving an
• 23:04
  hour and pouring rain to
• 23:06
  watch Abby while he was on a podcast,
• 23:10
  but she loves it.
• 23:12
  I'm sure Grandma and Papa
• 23:14
  are madly in love with Abby.
• 23:19
  So it's really cool that
• 23:21
  John gets to experience that.
• 23:24
  And I think he's going to be a great dad.
• 23:31
  So, yeah.
• 23:34
  So that's pretty much what's
• 23:36
  going on in the CrossFit space.
• 23:38
  I am totally, totally stoked.
• 23:40
  to be hanging out with my
• 23:41
  daughter as she's driving.
• 23:43
  Hi, guys.
• 23:46
  And Maple back there in the
• 23:47
  back who keeps popping her
• 23:49
  head up because she wants
• 23:51
  to be a celebrity.
• 23:55
  And Syrup's down there sleeping,
• 23:57
  so you can't really see her.
• 24:03
  Minnesota ETA.
• 24:04
  I don't really know, Ken.
• 24:08
  Like I said,
• 24:08
  we're probably right now just
• 24:11
  outside of Madison.
• 24:18
  So, well,
• 24:20
  and I've made this trip a ton of
• 24:22
  times to go to the games.
• 24:24
  Once we get past there,
• 24:25
  it's all new for me.
• 24:29
  But I really,
• 24:30
  really can't believe that I'm
• 24:31
  going cross country to move
• 24:35
  my daughter to Montana.
• 24:36
  It's kind of surreal.
• 24:39
  I've always wanted to drive
• 24:41
  across the country to see
• 24:42
  kind of the sights.
• 24:44
  So we'll get the northern
• 24:45
  part out of the way.
• 24:47
  We'll get the Badlands in.
• 24:48
  We'll get maybe Waldrug, maybe Mount,
• 24:51
  or definitely Mount Rushmore.
• 24:54
  And then later in life,
• 24:55
  maybe I'll do the southern drive.
• 25:01
  Denise Moore is asking,
• 25:03
  is Maple Park German Shepherd?
• 25:05
  We don't know.
• 25:07
  Don't know.
• 25:09
  uh got her to shelter and uh
• 25:14
  just we know she's cute
• 25:15
  she's a dog um uh lito says
• 25:24
  have you already talked
• 25:25
  about kale layman closing
• 25:28
  his account I have not
• 25:30
  didn't know he did that um
• 25:36
  I tried to stay out of the
• 25:37
  Kale Layman talk because I
• 25:39
  just don't even think it's
• 25:40
  relevant in the space.
• 25:43
  If he cheated, then from him again.
• 25:50
  If he didn't cheat,
• 25:51
  he'll show up at Syndicate
• 25:52
  Crown and do something amazing.
• 25:55
  And that's kind of where I'm at.
• 26:02
  Ken says, drive time from Madison,
• 26:04
  about five hours to Minnesota,
• 26:06
  mostly seventy miles an hour.
• 26:08
  Well,
• 26:09
  we are driving a little bit slower
• 26:11
  because of the trailer on the back.
• 26:16
  Don't want to overwork the pickup truck.
• 26:20
  Corey says, Caleb nuked himself.
• 26:25
  Tell me you're cheating
• 26:26
  without telling me you're cheating.
• 26:28
  Yeah.
• 26:29
  I think, again, if he cheated,
• 26:31
  we'll never hear from him again.
• 26:33
  If he didn't,
• 26:35
  he'll show up and he'll show
• 26:37
  us that we were all wrong.
• 26:40
  And we're just about to get
• 26:41
  into a traffic jam.
• 26:43
  So, awesome.
• 26:49
  Ken says, it's four hours,
• 26:50
  but I always stop for an
• 26:52
  hour at a cheese shop to spoil myself.
• 26:56
  Hmm.
• 26:57
  Do we know the name of this cheese shop?
• 27:00
  Because one thing that I do
• 27:02
  love is cheese.
• 27:06
  Yeah,
• 27:06
  we are just about to be dead stopped
• 27:09
  in traffic in Madison.
• 27:12
  What could be going on in
• 27:13
  Madison at this time of day
• 27:17
  that makes this this way?
• 27:24
  ken says there's a stretch
• 27:25
  from sioux falls to rapid
• 27:27
  city that's eighty miles an
• 27:28
  hour yeah I think we're
• 27:31
  trying to get to sioux
• 27:33
  falls sioux city tonight
• 27:34
  we're gonna get past it
• 27:37
  past it I don't know I was
• 27:41
  so spent from chicago
• 27:43
  driving last night um but
• 27:45
  I'm just chilling this
• 27:45
  morning and letting corey
• 27:47
  take the wheel um
• 27:51
  Hauling a U-Haul trailer
• 27:53
  through downtown Chicago
• 27:55
  when people are going
• 27:56
  ninety five miles an hour
• 27:57
  whipping around you into
• 27:59
  your blind spot constantly.
• 28:02
  I just got to a point where
• 28:04
  I got into a lane,
• 28:07
  stayed focused and didn't
• 28:08
  move for about an hour.
• 28:18
  Larry says,
• 28:18
  my scale is going the wrong way,
• 28:20
  and that cheese shop isn't helping.
• 28:27
  Ken says,
• 28:28
  there's a bunch of different ones.
• 28:29
  You'll see the signs.
• 28:30
  I change it up.
• 28:32
  Of course you do.
• 28:34
  Of course you do.
• 28:40
  So if that's your goal,
• 28:42
  looks like we won't be connecting.
• 28:46
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 28:47
  I don't know.
• 28:48
  What part of Minnesota are you in, Ken?
• 28:55
  If we don't meet up,
• 28:57
  it's my fault because I'm
• 28:58
  setting the GPS.
• 29:02
  I never really asked you.
• 29:03
  Minnesota's a big state.
• 29:06
  We've got rescue vehicles
• 29:08
  entering the highway from the left,
• 29:11
  so that's probably why...
• 29:14
  And now we have,
• 29:15
  they're blocking the
• 29:16
  entrance to the freeway.
• 29:33
  Denise, that is where we're at.
• 29:36
  We're at Monona Drive on the eighteenth.
• 29:40
  How do you know that from California?
• 29:44
  It looks like the accident
• 29:45
  is actually on the entrance ramp.
• 29:48
  So we, well, no.
• 29:50
  And the, holy shit.
• 29:55
  Wow.
• 29:56
  And the shrapnel is out into the A-team.
• 29:59
  But that looked vicious.
• 30:02
  Dang.
• 30:03
  Glad to not be part of that one.
• 30:11
  Cody, I did not pass Soldier Field.
• 30:14
  if we were anywhere close I
• 30:15
  would have made my daughter
• 30:16
  stop uh so ken is thirty
• 30:22
  minutes from the wisconsin
• 30:24
  minnesota border coming in
• 30:27
  from madison andrew stent
• 30:34
  says you got to go to wall
• 30:35
  drug denise looked it up on google maps
• 30:42
  I think we're going to Well Drug, Andrew.
• 30:49
  We're going to go tomorrow to the Badlands,
• 30:51
  Well Drug, and Mount Rushmore.
• 30:56
  And then try to cruise into
• 31:00
  Montana on Saturday sometime.
• 31:06
  So...
• 31:12
  Jody, we're taking over your road trip.
• 31:19
  Larry, well, drug is overrated.
• 31:20
  Eh, it may be.
• 31:23
  And that's what Jay Birch
• 31:25
  told me about Mount Rushmore.
• 31:27
  But if you're there, like,
• 31:29
  when's the next time I'm
• 31:30
  going to be in South Dakota?
• 31:32
  Probably never.
• 31:34
  Unless I'm moving my
• 31:35
  daughter back from Montana.
• 31:39
  No.
• 31:39
  So...
• 31:41
  So while I'm there,
• 31:42
  I'm going to check out everything I can.
• 31:48
  And we took extra days to do it.
• 31:54
  And then here's the big thing.
• 31:56
  Hopefully she doesn't start crying.
• 31:59
  Is that she doesn't have an
• 32:02
  apartment to move into.
• 32:04
  Her apartment won't be
• 32:05
  available until sometime
• 32:07
  between May fifth and May fifteenth.
• 32:09
  But her first day of work
• 32:12
  is april twenty eighth so
• 32:16
  she is actually going to
• 32:17
  stay with a friend until
• 32:21
  her apartment becomes
• 32:22
  available so we have to
• 32:23
  move her stuff into a
• 32:24
  storage locker until the
• 32:27
  apartment opens up so
• 32:30
  there's really no rush to
• 32:31
  get there just to crash
• 32:34
  into her friend's house
• 32:36
  anytime early so um
• 32:41
  So yeah.
• 32:44
  So that is, that's where we're at.
• 32:57
  Downtown RC has a lot of cool local spots.
• 33:02
  Try the firehouse.
• 33:04
  What is RC, RC, RC?
• 33:09
  Ken says Rushmore is not overrated.
• 33:12
  Denise checking Google Maps for us.
• 33:18
  That free sailing for you now, all green.
• 33:21
  Surprised you're not on the ninety.
• 33:24
  We are going by whatever
• 33:25
  Waze tells us to do.
• 33:38
  Larry says, if Bear Country is open,
• 33:40
  definitely cool.
• 33:40
  Yeah.
• 33:43
  Rushmore, like Grand Canyon,
• 33:44
  you just have to do it.
• 33:48
  Ken says, yeah, Bear Country is awesome.
• 33:52
  And then for Bison, Custer State Park.
• 34:03
  Jody says, I follow Dana Lynn Bailey,
• 34:06
  flag nor fail.
• 34:08
  uh in kalispell montana
• 34:10
  breathtaking country and
• 34:13
  ken says rapid city is that
• 34:15
  where you're at ken is
• 34:16
  rapid city um uh corey says
• 34:30
  if you want to see bison
• 34:31
  you can go to cooktop well
• 34:32
  I've seen bison in
• 34:33
  captivity I've seen bison in captivity
• 34:37
  I want to see bison in the wild.
• 34:39
  That's my hope.
• 34:42
  When my mom and nephew went
• 34:43
  through the Badlands,
• 34:44
  they saw bison there.
• 34:46
  So I'm hoping that we get the same.
• 34:50
  And then if I'm lucky enough
• 34:51
  to see a moose or an elk,
• 34:53
  I'll be really happy.
• 34:57
  But, oh my gosh,
• 34:59
  that's where I stayed for the games.
• 35:01
  There's the Super Eight with
• 35:02
  the bullet holes in the wall.
• 35:04
  I kid you not.
• 35:08
  And there's the Culver's we
• 35:09
  ate at every night after the games.
• 35:14
  Ah, the memories.
• 35:16
  The twenty twenty three
• 35:17
  CrossFit games walking down memory lane.
• 35:29
  Denise asks, how about bear?
• 35:32
  I'll take a bear as long as
• 35:33
  I'm still in the car.
• 35:37
  So here's a story.
• 35:39
  So, you know, in Pennsylvania,
• 35:41
  we have little black bears.
• 35:42
  They're not real big.
• 35:43
  They're kind of like Yogi.
• 35:46
  And my mom hit one or the bear hit her.
• 35:51
  I don't know the exact story.
• 35:54
  So my mom's first reaction
• 35:58
  after the bear hit her or
• 36:00
  she hit the bear was to get
• 36:02
  out and check how her car was.
• 36:05
  Throwing caution to the wind
• 36:07
  that the bear might still
• 36:08
  be there and might be a
• 36:11
  little pissed off that she hit it.
• 36:15
  So, yeah, I don't want to be like my mom.
• 36:19
  If I see a bear,
• 36:20
  I want to be in the car and
• 36:22
  I will stay there.
• 36:33
  Larry says bear country.
• 36:36
  You just drive through in your car,
• 36:37
  nothing like it.
• 36:45
  And Ken says, no,
• 36:46
  Rapid City is in South Dakota,
• 36:48
  right by Rushmore.
• 36:50
  My son played two seasons for the Rush,
• 36:52
  so spent lots of time over
• 36:54
  in South Dakota.
• 36:57
  Corey says,
• 36:57
  the bear picked a fight with your mom.
• 37:00
  Yeah, and she won.
• 37:02
  So she's a tough lady.
• 37:07
  She's very resilient.
• 37:10
  And I used to think she was really smart,
• 37:13
  really smart.
• 37:14
  She is.
• 37:15
  But to get out and hang with a black bear,
• 37:20
  probably not the brightest
• 37:21
  moment in her life.
• 37:28
  Corey says, let's go, Mama Schweitzer.
• 37:33
  And Denise says,
• 37:34
  I have a hotel story from Madison too.
• 37:37
  Texting would not give it justice.
• 37:39
  Yeah,
• 37:39
  that's the Super Eight where I hung
• 37:41
  out with Sporty Beth for
• 37:43
  breakfast every day.
• 37:46
  She did not speak to me.
• 37:48
  And we used to be friends.
• 37:53
  But then I did that Scott
• 37:54
  Riffs video about her.
• 37:56
  And so that probably ended
• 37:57
  that relationship.
• 38:00
  Well, anyway, guys, I'm going to sign off.
• 38:03
  You guys, this has been a blast.
• 38:13
  But my throat is getting dry.
• 38:16
  So I am going to sign off.
• 38:19
  We'll be back on tomorrow.
• 38:21
  Maybe we'll be live from the
• 38:22
  Badlands or Mount Rushmore.
• 38:24
  Who knows?
• 38:26
  Check us out then.
• 38:27
  See you guys later.
