- 2:44Were you at some lake this past weekend?
- 2:46Were you at Kelly's Island or Lake Erie?
- 2:48No.
- 2:49Okay, Alum Creek.
- 2:51I was just wondering where the water was.
- 2:53That was all.
- 2:54It was such a beautiful weekend.
- 2:56It was.
- 2:56We actually took Walter up to the dog park,
- 2:59and it's right on the lake.
- 3:00Oh, yeah.
- 3:01Do you ever go to the swimming one?
- 3:03We do,
- 3:04but there were way too many big dogs
- 3:08to take him down there this weekend,
- 3:10so...
- 3:11Um, but he loves the water.
- 3:14Like, like that's where he wants to be.
- 3:16Yeah.
- 3:17Um, we just couldn't, it just,
- 3:19it was packed.
- 3:20Yeah.
- 3:21That's where we,
- 3:23it's not my favorite place
- 3:24to take Murph swimming,
- 3:25but it is the closest, like easiest,
- 3:27but I love that,
- 3:28that the dog park in general,
- 3:31I just have favorite
- 3:33swimming spot for him.
- 3:35Yeah, yeah.
- 3:37Most of the time we forget
- 3:38to take towels anyway,
- 3:39so that's why we don't go.
- 3:40At least he's little.
- 3:42I mean,
- 3:43you could wrap him up in a T-shirt
- 3:44or something if you had to.
- 3:47Yeah, I guess.
- 3:47Yeah.
- 3:50But yeah,
- 3:51the whole thing was packed this
- 3:53weekend because it was 75, sunny,
- 3:57nice breeze.
- 4:00It couldn't be any more
- 4:01perfect than it was this weekend.
- 4:02Yeah.
- 4:03I've had my air off for like a week.
- 4:05Like just, yeah.
- 4:08Well, I have some news on the Murph front.
- 4:11The good news is Murph does
- 4:14not have cancer.
- 4:16I didn't even know that was a question.
- 4:17well you know I
- 4:19catastrophically go you
- 4:22know think the worst things
- 4:23possible right so you do I
- 4:26do right that's just part
- 4:27of who I am that's part of
- 4:28my anxiety so um murph
- 4:32loves to hike and will
- 4:34never say no to any kind of
- 4:37distance loves to go for
- 4:38walks but I'll notice
- 4:40sometimes he kind of has like a
- 4:42limp or like you know a
- 4:44little bit in his giddy up
- 4:46and so I could I can feel
- 4:48actually like a nodule
- 4:49underneath his shoulder
- 4:50blade and so and my mind
- 4:52was like yep he's he's got
- 4:54cancer he's gonna die um
- 4:57like I'm so sad all this
- 4:59stuff is happening and now
- 5:00I knew I knew I was going
- 5:02catastrophic that's that's
- 5:03the at least the bonus part
- 5:05is that I know when my
- 5:06brain does doing this
- 5:07But anyways,
- 5:07he had just a regular checkup
- 5:09and I brought it up and I was like,
- 5:11I'm hoping you're going to
- 5:12tell me it's a lipoma,
- 5:14which is just a fatty
- 5:15tissue and that it's not
- 5:17going to affect his quality of life.
- 5:19You know,
- 5:19I just want to make sure I'm not
- 5:20like overdoing it because
- 5:22he'll never tell me now.
- 5:24And so they put a needle in and checked,
- 5:27checked it out and it's a lipoma.
- 5:31So there you go.
- 5:33He got an A plus from the vet yesterday.
- 5:36So
- 5:38You go locally or?
- 5:40Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 5:41Healthy Pets.
- 5:41My, well, Charlie,
- 5:43I'm surprised he's not on
- 5:44here because I love to go
- 5:46to our vet's office because
- 5:47there is a very handsome
- 5:49vet that works there.
- 5:51I remember that story now.
- 5:53When I texted Charlie, I said,
- 5:54A plus from the vet.
- 5:55And he goes, okay, but what about Murph?
- 6:01Yeah.
- 6:01We go up to green Meadows.
- 6:03Yeah.
- 6:04Our two houses.
- 6:06And it's,
- 6:07it's an old farmer doctor that like it,
- 6:13the funniest thing is his
- 6:14name is Dr. Frost.
- 6:16And Julie always is like,
- 6:18are you going to take
- 6:19Walter up to Dr. Snow or
- 6:22Christmas or like she,
- 6:24every version of cold
- 6:26something other than Dr. Frost.
- 6:29Yeah.
- 6:31Oh, my God.
- 6:33Looks like Kat says that she says, hey,
- 6:37friends,
- 6:38just taking Els out to lunch for
- 6:39her 19th birthday.
- 6:40That's pretty cool.
- 6:42Happy birthday, Els.
- 6:46Kat's going viral.
- 6:47She's getting too big for us.
- 6:49You know why I think it
- 6:50happened is because anytime
- 6:52you post like something
- 6:54that doesn't give away what
- 6:56you're talking about,
- 6:57that's going to get a bunch
- 6:58of views because then people are like,
- 6:59well, what is she talking about?
- 7:00I have to go look.
- 7:03Yeah, but it has like a ton of shares.
- 7:06Yeah.
- 7:07Like it,
- 7:09Like I was saying in text last night,
- 7:10we have a reel that I think
- 7:13is really funny,
- 7:14and it gets three likes and no shares.
- 7:18And then something that I think, well,
- 7:19I'll just put that up for a space saver,
- 7:22gets 1.4 million views.
- 7:23Right.
- 7:26She shared, it was a TikTok that she made.
- 7:29It was something about yesterday's Wordle.
- 7:31And she said, hey,
- 7:32New York Times people or
- 7:35people who participate in that,
- 7:36did anybody else have to
- 7:37look up what that word was?
- 7:38And I don't even know what the word was.
- 7:41Maybe she can post it on here.
- 7:43But so that's all she said.
- 7:45And yeah, it's just gone.
- 7:47Yeah, I think the first thing was,
- 7:49is it a word?
- 7:50Is this really a word?
- 7:51Okay, yeah.
- 7:53And then, of course,
- 7:54I then looked it up because
- 7:56I needed to know.
- 7:56Okay.
- 7:57Well, what is it?
- 7:59So it was the word manga.
- 8:01Okay.
- 8:02Oh, yeah.
- 8:03Is it like a Japanese drawing?
- 8:06Yep.
- 8:07Yep.
- 8:07Okay.
- 8:07So I knew that.
- 8:08That is amazing that I knew that.
- 8:12Yeah,
- 8:12but it was approaching like 100,000
- 8:17views or something last night.
- 8:21Close to 80K.
- 8:21Yeah.
- 8:21Yeah.
- 8:24That's crazy.
- 8:26I knew what that was because
- 8:26my kids are really into
- 8:27anime for a while.
- 8:29And my daughter would do a
- 8:33lot of drawing and we would
- 8:34get books that was was manga drawing.
- 8:38So Andrew Sten missed that wordle.
- 8:43Total crap.
- 8:47Yeah, I I stopped playing like, man,
- 8:50two years ago, maybe.
- 8:53I just, I hated, I wanted to play more.
- 8:55I, if I'm playing a game,
- 8:57like I don't want it to be over.
- 8:59Yeah.
- 9:00Yeah.
- 9:00And then you can't play
- 9:01again until tomorrow.
- 9:02Yeah, I get that.
- 9:04So that, that was weird.
- 9:05But speaking of anime,
- 9:07I've only ever watched one
- 9:08anime show and it's been
- 9:11within the last two months.
- 9:13Okay.
- 9:13What was it?
- 9:14It was a Scott Pilgrim's sequel.
- 9:17Oh, okay.
- 9:18It was done anime style on Netflix.
- 9:21Okay.
- 9:21Yeah.
- 9:22and they brought the
- 9:22original cast back to do all the voices.
- 9:26Um,
- 9:26and if you've never seen Scott Pilgrim
- 9:28versus the world,
- 9:30there's a ton of stars in
- 9:31it where they broke huge.
- 9:34Um, and it was awesome.
- 9:37It was, it was so good.
- 9:39You forget it's a cartoon.
- 9:40Yeah, that's good.
- 9:45But yeah, I binge watched it.
- 9:46It was only like six or seven episodes.
- 9:49And so I just binge watched
- 9:50it really fast and,
- 9:52Yeah, but I,
- 9:53Corey and I used to love that
- 9:53movie and Julie hated it.
- 9:57Hated it.
- 9:58And so whenever like she was
- 9:59away that we would watch that movie.
- 10:01Yeah.
- 10:02So it has a nice sentimental meaning too.
- 10:04Oh, cute.
- 10:07So anything going on this week?
- 10:12Well, today's my hubby's birthday.
- 10:17So thus the hair got washed.
- 10:19You know,
- 10:20it was a hair washing day and I
- 10:21timed that up pretty good.
- 10:23So that's a bonus.
- 10:26But it's, you know,
- 10:28tied with Father's Day.
- 10:28So we got Scott a new set of
- 10:31clubs because the last set
- 10:33of golf clubs that he had
- 10:34was from 25 years ago.
- 10:37And so, you know, we thought technology's,
- 10:40you know, upgraded.
- 10:41Maybe we should upgrade some of these.
- 10:43So the kids and I got him a
- 10:45new set of golf clubs.
- 10:46And then we went out Sunday to go
- 10:50try them out.
- 10:51And so we went and we got a
- 10:52jumbo basket of golf balls to hit.
- 10:57And listen, I made a lot of improvements.
- 10:59I want you to know that.
- 11:00But it is so hard for me to
- 11:03not want to take that like
- 11:05a baseball bat swing.
- 11:06Like I'm just used to that kind of swing.
- 11:09And so every time I would get up there,
- 11:10I would, you know, I had a good grip on
- 11:13on the golf ball.
- 11:14But then my,
- 11:16my back screen swing is just too far.
- 11:18And then I just stopped my follow through.
- 11:24Does your husband CrossFit?
- 11:25He does.
- 11:27Complicated.
- 11:28Reluctantly.
- 11:28Yeah.
- 11:31He does.
- 11:32There was a time where he
- 11:33would do a lot of
- 11:34competitions that he didn't
- 11:35even know he was signed up for.
- 11:37Yeah, that's true there.
- 11:38That did happen that I know
- 11:39better than that now,
- 11:40but he's even going to the gym tonight.
- 11:42So
- 11:44There you go.
- 11:45I'm surprised he didn't use
- 11:46that as an excuse, to be honest with you.
- 11:49So did you just go to like a
- 11:51regular driving range?
- 11:52Yeah, we just went to Westerville.
- 11:54Yeah.
- 11:55And, but it was fun.
- 11:56I did.
- 11:57Yeah.
- 11:57I made a lot of improvements, but on that,
- 11:59I cannot just do the follow through.
- 12:01Like, I don't know what it is,
- 12:03but I literally stopped
- 12:04myself every time.
- 12:06The last time I've swung a
- 12:07golf club would have been
- 12:09Aaron Heath's 50th birthday.
- 12:11Well, Topgolf is a fun place.
- 12:13But see, I don't... This is going to sound,
- 12:18of course, inappropriate for me.
- 12:20Listen,
- 12:20I just want to whack that ball as
- 12:22hard as I can.
- 12:23I don't even care if I'm aiming it.
- 12:24I just want to see how far it will go.
- 12:27Because Scott will be like, well,
- 12:30where are you aiming?
- 12:30And I'm like, I don't know.
- 12:33I don't care.
- 12:35You're just all about whacking the ball.
- 12:37Whack it.
- 12:39Yeah, I that day,
- 12:42it was like every third one
- 12:43I could hit the back net.
- 12:45Yeah.
- 12:47And there was no aiming to it at all.
- 12:49It was just rip it rip.
- 12:51Yeah, it's such a technical,
- 12:53such a technical game.
- 12:54But when I was in college,
- 12:56I used to play like four times a week.
- 12:58Yeah.
- 12:58And I was decent.
- 13:01I would never say good.
- 13:02And then,
- 13:03and then I really just haven't
- 13:05played enough to stay
- 13:06consistent for the years.
- 13:09And now like my club, I don't,
- 13:10my clubs haven't been out
- 13:11of my basement in 10 years.
- 13:14I would did,
- 13:15I did that one shred outing a while back,
- 13:19but.
- 13:21Thank God that was like a best ball.
- 13:23And I,
- 13:23I only needed to make at least one
- 13:25or two good shots.
- 13:26Yeah.
- 13:27Every couple of holes to,
- 13:28to just do my part, but yeah.
- 13:32So, yeah, so that's kinda, that was,
- 13:35so tonight we're just
- 13:36probably gonna grill some
- 13:37steaks and hang out at home and,
- 13:39but I'll tell you what this, um,
- 13:40I've been,
- 13:41I think I've been sore for two
- 13:43weeks straight or not just
- 13:45like my body is just smoked
- 13:49from the programming.
- 13:52Still, wait.
- 13:57Oh.
- 13:57I need Topgolf explained to me.
- 13:59Each game, Angry Birds is the best.
- 14:04You know, we tried to play,
- 14:06but the system was,
- 14:08when we went this one time, Damien,
- 14:10it was very new.
- 14:12Our Topgolf was, like, just built.
- 14:14Yeah.
- 14:16And the screen in the pit I
- 14:19was in kept going down.
- 14:20Okay.
- 14:22Get like halfway through a
- 14:22game and it would like shut off.
- 14:24So good.
- 14:25Just got to be like,
- 14:26just grip it and rip it.
- 14:28See how far you can hit it.
- 14:29Yeah.
- 14:31That's just like,
- 14:31sometimes when I go bowling, like, listen,
- 14:33I'm just trying to just get
- 14:35it down there and see the
- 14:36speed of the ball that I put down there.
- 14:40That's kind of your MO anyway.
- 14:42I know.
- 14:43Yeah.
- 14:45um I heard you so you the
- 14:48mayhem programming is
- 14:49making you sore but
- 14:50apparently it's building

- 17:16I remember him being a teenager.
- 17:19The first time I met him was at the games,
- 17:21probably the same time you did.
- 17:22Yeah.
- 17:23And he was talking to decks a lot.
- 17:25He was, uh,
- 17:27he was there supporting Emma Carey.
- 17:29Okay.
- 17:30And I don't think Dallin
- 17:31made it that year either.
- 17:32I think they were just there
- 17:33supporting Emma because
- 17:35they were all with brute at the time.
- 17:37Right.
- 17:39and uh and he would like run
- 17:42down to the the barricade
- 17:45or whatever and just yell
- 17:46at emma over and over again
- 17:49it was really it was really
- 17:49cool to see the support
- 17:51they were giving each other
- 17:51at that time yeah um I do
- 17:56have one crossfit question
- 17:57for you yes or not so
- 18:01patrick clark did an
- 18:02interview with dave castro
- 18:04backstage at syndicate
- 18:05crown okay and during that interview
- 18:10Dave said that he didn't
- 18:14like the format of the
- 18:16semifinals the way it was.
- 18:17He didn't like that it
- 18:18qualified 10 people.
- 18:20It seemed anticlimactic.
- 18:23And that the low crowd at
- 18:26West Coast made them want
- 18:28to reconsider maybe what they do.
- 18:31And that he thinks they got
- 18:34away from the regional
- 18:36aspect of that level of the games.
- 18:40like that gyms didn't pack
- 18:41up and go support their athletes anymore.
- 18:46So they are either going to
- 18:48tweak what they have or
- 18:50they have some ideas for
- 18:51radical changes for what's to come.
- 18:55Any thoughts on what that
- 18:56should be or what that could be?
- 18:59Well,
- 18:59I guess I'm most comfortable with the
- 19:02regional aspect because we
- 19:04know what that looks like and we know
- 19:07Like, we've implemented that before,
- 19:10and that's the known.
- 19:11So, of course, to me,
- 19:13that's the more comfortable position.
- 19:15More of the radical change, while,
- 19:17you know,
- 19:17I think radical change is good
- 19:19for the growth of the sport,
- 19:21it also leaves room for a
- 19:24lot of error and
- 19:27frustration if it's not done, you know,
- 19:30in a clearly communicated way.
- 19:34But I couldn't articulate to
- 19:36you what those changes would look like.
- 19:37I don't even know what a
- 19:39radical change means.
- 19:43Yeah,
- 19:44like every avenue I go down just
- 19:48seems to have so many flaws
- 19:50with it that it's not as
- 19:51good as what we have.
- 19:55I think the problem is the
- 19:56allocation of spots for the games.
- 19:58Yeah, sure.
- 20:00That's the bigger problem.
- 20:02no matter what you do
- 20:04semifinals are going to the
- 20:06drama is going to be at the
- 20:07cut line not at who wins it
- 20:11because it's just the phase
- 20:12to move on right so whether
- 20:15you take five people or 10
- 20:17people or 20 people the
- 20:19drama is at the cut line
- 20:23the other issue I have is
- 20:25there are so many camps in the east
- 20:29Right?
- 20:29You have TTT.
- 20:30You have AM.
- 20:32You have HWPO.
- 20:36Proven.
- 20:37They're all in the East.
- 20:39So the East is just
- 20:40stockpiled with talent.
- 20:44And there's no way to
- 20:45distribute them and keep
- 20:48the regional format.
- 20:53But I mean...
- 20:55Don't you remember in the back of the day,
- 20:57like central east was one
- 20:58of the stacked regionals, right?
- 21:06It was.
- 21:07Yeah.
- 21:09So, I mean,
- 21:09I think that that is a part of
- 21:11a part of that.
- 21:16And I get what you're saying too.
- 21:17Like, yeah,
- 21:17it is kind of anticlimactic
- 21:19that you're like, okay, great.
- 21:21This is a stacked field,
- 21:22but 11 people are making it through.
- 21:24Like that's, you know, like it's,
- 21:29it is just down to the few people.
- 21:30And then it is, you know, that like, oh no,
- 21:33are they going to make it through?
- 21:34Or, you know,
- 21:37which is more of the viewer
- 21:38experience versus which
- 21:41athletes are making it through.
- 21:42So I don't know.
- 21:45Damien says,
- 21:45make it like American Ninja
- 21:46Warrior where you have to
- 21:48sell your personality and skills.
- 21:52I know this is a joke,
- 21:54but what American Warrior
- 21:56does so beautifully is tell
- 21:58the stories of all of their athletes.
- 22:01That you want them to
- 22:02succeed because their wife
- 22:05has cancer or their wife
- 22:07has MS or their kid is on
- 22:11the spectrum or one of those things.
- 22:13And then you want them to succeed.
- 22:15So you root for that individual.
- 22:18CrossFit stopped telling those stories.
- 22:23And so we don't get those
- 22:24unless you're one of the top three.
- 22:29Yeah.
- 22:31And so, well, I thought,
- 22:32I think you were trying to joke with us.
- 22:35It actually is a great
- 22:37marketing plan that
- 22:37CrossFit needs to kind of lean into.
- 22:47Yeah.
- 22:48Mayhem will or can dominate
- 22:50men's East for many years.
- 22:53You know, sure.
- 22:58They just dominate by sheer numbers.
- 23:02Right?
- 23:03They have two formats.
- 23:04You can come to Cookville
- 23:06and you can work out there.
- 23:08You can do it remote and
- 23:09just come into camps.
- 23:12But they just have so many athletes.
- 23:16Like,
- 23:17they had more athletes qualify for
- 23:18the games than some camps
- 23:19even have athletes.
- 23:21Correct.
- 23:21Yeah.
- 23:22Yeah.
- 23:24So, you know,
- 23:27I've become really close with
- 23:28Jamie's coach and Kelly
- 23:30Baker's coach and Hattie Cano's coach,
- 23:33and that's Tristan Patrick.
- 23:35Like,
- 23:35he doesn't want more than a couple
- 23:37athletes.
- 23:38It's beyond his bandwidth to
- 23:39have more than a couple.
- 23:42And he would rather give
- 23:44that more boutique style of
- 23:45coaching than the mass
- 23:48style of coaching like Mayhem does.
- 23:51So it's hard to compare camp to camp.
- 23:55Yeah, I do think that.
- 23:56But I do think that, like we were saying,
- 23:58though, that certain regions,
- 24:00certain areas are going to
- 24:01be more stacked because of
- 24:02that type of thing, though.
- 24:04Because you've got the
- 24:05numbers over here of the athletes.
- 24:07And, yeah.
- 24:10Yeah.
- 24:15And, I mean,
- 24:17the East almost needs two
- 24:19semifinals themselves, right?
- 24:21Yeah, sure.
- 24:22That's what I was thinking
- 24:23about when you were saying,
- 24:25Dave was saying,
- 24:26changing the format to be
- 24:28more regional-esque.
- 24:29Then, yeah,
- 24:30we need to have more so that
- 24:32you're breaking that up.
- 24:33It's not necessarily, you know,
- 24:37like we had, I don't know,
- 24:38what did we have?
- 24:39Central East.
- 24:41Then it became Central, right?
- 24:42Right.
- 24:43Okay.
- 24:43Yeah.
- 24:44So it was like from Ohio to
- 24:46the upper Midwest.
- 24:48And then there was the Atlantic.
- 24:50Yeah.
- 24:51Um, which was,
- 24:53I think just the East it became,
- 24:56and that was pretty much
- 24:57Florida all the way up to Canada.
- 25:01But like Pat Vellner just
- 25:02moved to the East.
- 25:04Yeah.
- 25:04It's not even getting thinner.
- 25:06It's getting heavier with,
- 25:10where did he move though?
- 25:12What's that?
- 25:13Where did he move?
- 25:15Um, I don't know the exact location.
- 25:17I just know he moved.
- 25:19Okay.
- 25:20Um, his wife was from Western Canada.
- 25:23Okay.
- 25:24Eastern Canada.
- 25:25Okay.
- 25:26And where they live,
- 25:27they didn't have a lot of
- 25:28support family and yeah.
- 25:30Help out with the kids and
- 25:32all that kind of stuff.
- 25:33And I think she's like a doctor, right?
- 25:35Like, I don't know.
- 25:37I don't have that information.
- 25:39um and so they were moving
- 25:41closer to family got it uh
- 25:43in the east uh to be able
- 25:45to help out with kids um
- 25:49and I think just to get to
- 25:50just to be around family
- 25:51more yeah for sure yeah
- 25:55especially because at some
- 25:56point I hope it's not soon
- 25:57but at some point he is
- 25:58going to retire right right
- 26:01from competing and will need to
- 26:05you know,
- 26:06maybe make a different career
- 26:08decision and for, to support and provide.
- 26:14So we've been talking about mayhem.
- 26:16I have a question for you.
- 26:16Yeah.
- 26:17You've been doing,
- 26:21you've been doing mayhem for a while now.
- 26:25Do you feel fitter at doing that every,
- 26:29every day in the gym or,
- 26:31or is it the same as everything else?
- 26:35I, I, let me just say this.
- 26:37I don't think there are,
- 26:38is any perfect programming.
- 26:43Like I get frustrated
- 26:47coaching a lot of the mayhem programming,
- 26:50because I will tell you from my opinion,
- 26:53I feel that sometimes they
- 26:55don't think about the types
- 26:57of affiliates that might be
- 26:58utilizing their programming,
- 27:00meaning equipment,
- 27:03Um, you know,
- 27:04like not everybody has 18 skiers or,
- 27:10you know,
- 27:12all the sandbags and that kind of thing.
- 27:14So I think that there is
- 27:15some aspect of that.
- 27:20I will say,
- 27:21I don't think necessarily that
- 27:24I'm getting any fitter.
- 27:25I don't think I'm losing any fitness,
- 27:28but I do feel sometimes.
- 27:31more fatigued.
- 27:32But at the same time, I am older now,
- 27:35right?
- 27:35I mean, I know I look in my 20s,
- 27:39but I know I'm not.
- 27:41And it's interesting that
- 27:44you bring this up because I
- 27:45was talking about like,
- 27:46I haven't PR'd a weight for a long time.
- 27:51The only PR that I... I did
- 27:53just get this new PR of a strict press,
- 27:56okay?
- 27:56But any of my other ones,
- 27:58I haven't had a PR.
- 28:00I can't necessarily blame
- 28:01the programming for that.
- 28:03I'm just stating that.
- 28:08Yeah.
- 28:09I'm just curious because
- 28:09they are the most popular programming...
- 28:14in probably in the United States for, uh,
- 28:17games at Ford athletes, I guess,
- 28:20is what I'm trying to say.
- 28:21And I was just curious what
- 28:22your thoughts were.
- 28:23Yeah.
- 28:24It's harder for me to just say, like,
- 28:26to give you a definitive, I,
- 28:28I think I have two
- 28:29different decisions because
- 28:30of being a coach, if that makes sense of.
- 28:35Denise Moore says older.
- 28:36He, he, he just wait.
- 28:38She's our games athlete.
- 28:41Yes.
- 28:41Denise, here's the thing.
- 28:42I'm in this for the long game though.
- 28:44I really am.
- 28:45So I, while I joke about being older,
- 28:47like I want to continue to,
- 28:49to do this for a long time.
- 28:53Well, speaking of older,
- 28:55I saw Lana Marcin in the comments.
- 28:58Yes.
- 28:58Huge,
- 28:59huge news from her I got the other
- 29:01night is that enough people
- 29:04signed up that the 70-plus
- 29:08will be represented at the
- 29:10Legends CrossFit Games.
- 29:12They all got their invites
- 29:15just a couple days ago.
- 29:17And so, um, so for the first time ever,
- 29:22there will be a 70 plus division.
- 29:25I don't think it's
- 29:26officially going to be
- 29:26recognized by CrossFit,
- 29:28but they'll get the play.
- 29:30That's awesome.
- 29:32Um, and so that's, that's really special.
- 29:34And I know Lana has been
- 29:36working very hard on that.
- 29:39And the fact that she got
- 29:40that is pretty amazing.
- 29:43And Denise Moore is in there,
- 29:45and I need to send out a
- 29:46huge thank you to her.
- 29:47I made a plea Sunday night
- 29:49that we wanted to do the
- 29:50behind the scenes of the
- 29:51Masters CrossFit Games that
- 29:54I sent out a message to Joe Linton,
- 29:58one of the co-directors of that,
- 30:00and did not hear back.
- 30:02Denise pushed a couple buttons,
- 30:05and I have a meeting with
- 30:06Joe on Thursday afternoon.
- 30:10talk about possibly doing
- 30:12the behind the scenes for
- 30:15the masters divisions and
- 30:19I've I'm already assembling
- 30:20a team with the hopes that he says yes so
- 30:25Trying to get,
- 30:26I think I have the best
- 30:28videographer in the business.
- 30:30Rosie View Photography is
- 30:32willing to come back and do that with us.
- 30:36And then I actually have a
- 30:38local semifinal athlete
- 30:40from Birmingham that we can
- 30:43do some stuff leading up to
- 30:44that she can give us some
- 30:46tours of what Birmingham
- 30:48has to offer and all of
- 30:50those kinds of things and
- 30:51then help with interviews
- 30:52and stuff at the event.
- 30:53That's
- 30:55that's the last week of
- 30:55august isn't it it's a
- 30:57labor day weekend oh it's
- 30:59labor day weekend okay both
- 31:01the teens and the masters
- 31:03go that weekend and I think
- 31:06that is just a crying shame
- 31:09that um that they have to
- 31:11compete against each other
- 31:12that weekend for eyeballs
- 31:15because both will be streamed yeah
- 31:20But I think that either they
- 31:23should combine as one event
- 31:25or have separate weekends
- 31:26to do their events.
- 31:32And thank you, Denise.
- 31:34My pleasure to help.
- 31:35Scott,
- 31:35you've been so supportive of the Masters,
- 31:36just trying to pay back all your efforts.
- 31:39That's very thoughtful.
- 31:43And just to clarify the 70 plus,
- 31:45it's a trial division.
- 31:47Okay.
- 31:48so but lana I know you've
- 31:51worked so hard for this and
- 31:52I'm just so happy that you
- 31:54you got that and she texted
- 31:56me the other night like can
- 31:57you imagine being 70 plus
- 31:59years old and you're a
- 32:01crossfit games athlete for
- 32:02the first time in your life
- 32:05no like how cool that would
- 32:06be that's that's super cool
- 32:11my dad will actually be
- 32:12happy to hear that although
- 32:13he's almost in in the 80 in
- 32:16the next division
- 32:18Yeah.
- 32:19Yeah.
- 32:19Lana, I think she said, I don't,
- 32:22I don't want to age her at all,
- 32:23but I think she's pushing
- 32:25for a 75 plus is what she would be in.
- 32:29Okay.
- 32:30Um, and she's trying to,
- 32:32and she's waiting to
- 32:33compete until she gets to
- 32:34an appropriate age group.
- 32:37She says they're, they are very excited.
- 32:42So yeah,
- 32:44huge news around the master's division.
- 32:46And, uh,
- 32:47What's coming up and can't
- 32:48wait to support them.
- 32:49And then we've got the
- 32:51elites going to Fort worth.
- 32:53I actually looked at the
- 32:54prices of plane tickets,
- 32:57direct flight Columbus to
- 32:59Fort worth on spirit $90 round trip.
- 33:03That's pretty good.
- 33:04Now I know spirit charges
- 33:06you for everything
- 33:08breathing oxygen on the plane.
- 33:10Yeah.
- 33:12but I was like, you gotta be kidding me.
- 33:14That's the best flights I've
- 33:16ever seen to try to get to an event.
- 33:18That is pretty good.
- 33:22But, uh, so I don't know,
- 33:24I don't know what I'm doing
- 33:24for the main games.
- 33:26I really was going to not go, um,
- 33:28and just go to masters.
- 33:32Um, yeah,
- 33:33that's the one part for us that
- 33:35sucks like that.
- 33:36It's too separate.
- 33:38I mean, for a lot of people it might suck,
- 33:39but, um,
- 33:42just the extra traveling and yeah.
- 33:49And any hope but the only
- 33:50the big part is any hotel
- 33:51downtown Fort Worth is so expensive.
- 33:54Yeah.
- 33:55Now if you stay in the suburbs,
- 33:57get a good deal.
- 33:59But then you got to pay Uber
- 34:00or rent a car.
- 34:01Yep.
- 34:02Or do one of those things.
- 34:03And then all those costs come back up.
- 34:05Yep.
- 34:07Yeah.
- 34:08So, yeah.
- 34:12So exciting week.
- 34:13Yeah.
- 34:15Again,
- 34:16going to the Olympic trials this weekend.
- 34:17That's going to be super fun with my mom.
- 34:20It's Father's Day weekend.
- 34:24Have you already done and
- 34:25dusted that for Scott?
- 34:26Or does he get like a dinner
- 34:28out or something this weekend?
- 34:29I mean,
- 34:30the presents are combined because
- 34:33of how much it was.
- 34:34But we are actually going to have...
- 34:37the in-laws and my parents
- 34:39over for dinner.
- 34:39So we will be grilling up
- 34:42some food then as well.
- 34:44Have you had a fire yet this year?
- 34:46No, I need to, but my new project,
- 34:50I'm going to be starting it soon.
- 34:52Project number one for the
- 34:53summer is already done.
- 34:55Project number two, you ready for it?
- 34:58Wait, before you get to number two,
- 35:00did you start and complete
- 35:03one or did you start it and
- 35:05Scott have to come in and finish one?
- 35:08Scott helped me.
- 35:15If I remember the text string correctly,
- 35:17this is what Scott came home to.
- 35:20And then you showed me the
- 35:23finished product.
- 35:24Yeah.
- 35:25Okay.
- 35:26Well, it was definitely okay.
- 35:32I didn't think I was going
- 35:33to need this help.
- 35:33And this is what had happened.
- 35:35What happened was I went to the store.
- 35:37They had some really cute
- 35:40peel and stick wallpaper
- 35:43that I thought would just
- 35:45make this whole thing look amazing.
- 35:48And so I was like,
- 35:50it was on clearance and I was like, babe,
- 35:54I got this.
- 35:54Do you think it will work?
- 35:55And he's like, I don't know.
- 35:56Am I work?
- 35:58And I was,
- 35:58I go up there and I try to do
- 36:00one by myself.
- 36:01And then I was like, Hey, can you help me?
- 36:05So it ended up being more,
- 36:06but that wasn't a have to for the project,
- 36:09but it looks amazing.

- 36:23I got rid of five bags of extra clothes,
- 36:26put all the furniture together by myself.
- 36:31Okay, so now there's project number two.
- 36:33Okay,
- 36:34so that project is completely done though,
- 36:35right?
- 36:36Project number two.
- 36:37A couple years ago,
- 36:40we have a huge deck outside
- 36:42that used to have wraparound seating.
- 36:45Yeah, deck.
- 36:47I'll send you a picture of our,
- 36:49I'll send you some deck pics later.
- 36:51OK.
- 36:51In our private chat.
- 36:54And I used to have wraparound seating.
- 36:57And so we took all that down
- 36:59and then replaced a bunch of old boards.
- 37:02Well, when we did that the last time,
- 37:04we didn't replace all of
- 37:06the boards because they didn't need it.
- 37:08But now it's been about five years.
- 37:09So I'm going to replace several boards.
- 37:12And I am going to need help
- 37:14on this because I haven't
- 37:15used one of the tools.
- 37:19so I need some help with a
- 37:20tool but I am going to do
- 37:21use the crowbar I'm going

- 37:42them all that and then I'm
- 37:44going to paint it
- 37:49Okay.
- 37:49Okay.
- 37:50So those are my,
- 37:52and I'll show everybody my
- 37:54deck picks once that's, that's happened.
- 37:59So this last weekend I actually, you know,
- 38:02I ripped my deck off.
- 38:04Yeah.
- 38:04You can't believe you ripped
- 38:05your whole deck off.
- 38:06I just, I ripped it off.
- 38:08It was leaning a lot, wasn't it?
- 38:12It wasn't really leaning.
- 38:13It's that boards underneath were rotting.
- 38:16Oh, so you had a rotten deck.
- 38:18Yeah.
- 38:18Yeah.
- 38:21Uh,
- 38:22and so I ripped that off and then it's
- 38:25big,
- 38:25it's going to be my diddle project is
- 38:27what I'm calling it for the summer.
- 38:28Like I work a little bit here and there.
- 38:30Yeah.
- 38:31And so the water,
- 38:35I'm going to diddle my deck.
- 38:37Yeah.
- 38:37So I, uh, the water,
- 38:39the rain washed away a big gully,
- 38:40like from my house and then
- 38:42it like humps back up.
- 38:44Yeah.
- 38:44So I need to get all that
- 38:45level to make a patio.
- 38:47Yeah.
- 38:48Yeah.
- 38:48So I took 25,
- 38:5150-pound bags of topsoil to
- 38:55my backyard and put all in
- 38:58that gully to get all that leveled out.
- 39:01Okay.
- 39:03Here's a question.
- 39:03You're going to need a set of stairs.
- 39:08Yes.
- 39:08Because otherwise,
- 39:09is there a drop-off right from your... Oh,
- 39:12there's no way out the back
- 39:13door right now.
- 39:14Yeah, okay.
- 39:15Because you were elevated out there, so...
- 39:20But what's crazy is the
- 39:22water washed so much dirt away,
- 39:23like I had to get that
- 39:24level before I could build.
- 39:26Sure.
- 39:27Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 39:28Because it wouldn't go down
- 39:30to the proper level.
- 39:32Yeah.
- 39:34So, yeah.
- 39:36So now I've got that leveled up.
- 39:40I want to rent a rototiller
- 39:42and then like soften
- 39:43everything up and get it
- 39:44all like super level.
- 39:46Yeah.
- 39:46And then I'm going to put
- 39:47the stairs in and then
- 39:49start working on the pavers
- 39:51and the gravel and all that
- 39:52stuff to finish out the
- 39:54patio and build the gas fire pit,
- 39:59which is going to be the
- 40:00highlight of this thing.
- 40:02Obviously.
- 40:03Yeah.
- 40:05Yeah.
- 40:07Although the pipe coming out
- 40:08of my house is,
- 40:10looks scary rusty I'm hoping
- 40:13where the gas comes out
- 40:14yeah I'm hoping that like
- 40:17it's okay well that's not
- 40:19something you should you
- 40:21should definitely get some
- 40:24professional advice it's
- 40:25fine you just need to get
- 40:26one of those orange hoses
- 40:28hooked to it buried under
- 40:30the gravel springs he's a
- 40:33union guy like you know oh
- 40:34yeah springs okay yeah yeah

- 40:58The good thing about Julie
- 40:59being kind of incapacitated
- 41:01at the moment is she's not
- 41:02starting projects for me to finish.
- 41:04Yeah.
- 41:04I can just work on the stuff I want to.
- 41:08But I did plant her two
- 41:09azalea bushes and a rose
- 41:10bush last weekend too.
- 41:13That was very thoughtful.
- 41:16She probably told you to do it,
- 41:17but that was also very thoughtful.
- 41:18She did.
- 41:21I did it.
- 41:26Well,
- 41:27this was the lifestyle roundtable

- 41:31Homes and Gardens.

- 41:38Yeah.
