  gonna go ready fire aim
• 2:23
  ready oh I'm doing it not
• 2:28
  even on the dartboard
• 2:32

• 2:33
  like a really hard push, we would get it.
• 2:40
  Denise, I'm back at work.
• 2:42
  So may not be able to chat too much.
• 2:45
  How'd the coaching go?
• 2:46
  Did you enjoy your first day
• 2:47
  of coaching classes?
• 2:52
  I remember my first day coaching,
• 2:53
  standing up at the whiteboard,
• 2:55
  getting ready to talk to
• 2:56
  the class and like just a
• 2:59
  lump in my throat.
• 3:02
  Oh my gosh.
• 3:04
  And I, and I,
• 3:06
  I used to speak publicly like
• 3:07
  all the time.
• 3:08
  I was the trainer of
• 3:09
  trainers for most of my
• 3:12
  career with the state.
• 3:14
  And all I did was go from
• 3:16
  county to county doing presentations.
• 3:20
  But man,
• 3:21
  first time you get up in front of
• 3:22
  a class to coach whole
• 3:24
  different ball game,
• 3:26
  whole different subject matter.
• 3:31
  But then it becomes second nature again.
• 3:33
  You just get used to it.
• 3:37
  So, yeah.
• 3:40
  What do we want to talk about today?
• 3:47
  Yes, the members were so nice to me.
• 3:50
  I kept forgetting the word cycle.
• 3:55
  we all have those days where
• 3:57
  we forget words.
• 3:58
  I think I have at least
• 4:00
  daily something that I
• 4:01
  forgot to say or a word.
• 4:04
  I forgot what it was until I
• 4:06
  I'm on the air and you guys help me out.
• 4:08
  So yeah, it's cool that you kind of,
• 4:13
  it's cool that you're going
• 4:14
  to coach where you work out
• 4:16
  and you have friends there
• 4:17
  that just want you to succeed.
• 4:21
  So that helps out a lot.
• 4:24
  So one thing that I have
• 4:25
  not... I keep forgetting to
• 4:27
  show you guys.
• 4:28
  We talked about it briefly
• 4:29
  on Sunday Night CrossFit Talk.
• 4:31
  And that is that Daniel
• 4:32
  Brandon jumped into the
• 4:35
  United Grid League this weekend.
• 4:38
  And...
• 4:40
  And her team went up against
• 4:42
  Kelsey Keel's team.
• 4:44
  And so Kelsey Keel actually
• 4:46
  posted her and Daniel
• 4:48
  Brandon doing the sandbag
• 4:52
  clean over a yoke.
• 4:56
  And I wanted to just share
• 4:57
  that to show that like
• 4:59
  CrossFitters can do this
• 5:00
  grid leg thing and they can
• 5:02
  do it pretty well.
• 5:06
  um sure there we go here we
• 5:13
  go there you go
• 5:36
  Let's hear it for him.
• 6:09
  so that was um daniel
• 6:14
  brandon and kelsey keel
• 6:17
  doing grid leg over the weekend.
• 6:21
  Kelsey Keel clearing the
• 6:22
  last sandbag over the yoke.
• 6:25
  I would say that Kelsey Keel
• 6:26
  had the advantage going into this.
• 6:28
  She is more of a strength
• 6:29
  specialist than Danielle Brandon.
• 6:33
  But the whole match is on
• 6:35
  YouTube if you want to go watch it.
• 6:38
  Um, again,
• 6:40
  I was watching because Lauren
• 6:41
  Olson is a friend of mine.
• 6:43
  She is on the Houston team
• 6:45
  with John Young and I was
• 6:47
  watching to support her.
• 6:49
  And then all of a sudden
• 6:50
  this one pops up and I've
• 6:52
  had Kelsey on the show a
• 6:53
  handful of times and she's amazing.
• 6:56
  We actually sponsored her team.
• 6:57
  Uh,
• 6:59
  the only time Clydesdale media ever
• 7:01
  sponsored a team was her Christine best.
• 7:04
  And, um,
• 7:08
  See, Denise, names forget.
• 7:10
  They just... Wozni.
• 7:15
  Oh, gosh.
• 7:18
  Allison Alley.
• 7:20
  No.
• 7:22
  Oh, well.
• 7:24
  Wozni.
• 7:26
  She was a teammate of Kelsey...
• 7:29
  Uh,
• 7:29
  when they were Joey tutorial on a team
• 7:33
  and Ashley was me, Ashley was new.
• 7:36
  There it is.
• 7:37
  It all came back to me,
• 7:38
  but it was actually was the
• 7:40
  Kelsey keel and Christine best.
• 7:42
  We sponsored a team at an
• 7:44
  event in Philadelphia or I'm sorry,
• 7:46
  Delaware.
• 7:48
  And, uh, got to know them really well.
• 7:51
  And so I watched a little
• 7:53
  bit of this match as well, but loved,
• 7:55
  love this event.
• 7:58
  I love throwing the sandbags
• 8:02
  over the yoke.
• 8:04
  I just think it's a fun event to watch.
• 8:09
  She's at TTT now.
• 8:10
  Yeah, Ashley is at TTT now.
• 8:12
  She's been there for a couple years.
• 8:14
  She crushed the snatch
• 8:19
  ladder last year at
• 8:22
  semifinals and almost made
• 8:24
  a comeback to get into
• 8:26
  contention for the games.
• 8:29
  She was really making a run
• 8:30
  at it the last day.
• 8:36
  Just had too much to overcome.
• 8:41
  what's up Meredith uh Larry
• 8:48
  Young says John Young
• 8:49
  should have done the ring
• 8:50
  touch yeah Houston came out
• 8:55
  on fire and then it just I
• 9:01
  think they're still
• 9:02
  experimenting with the
• 9:03
  lineup and where to put people um
• 9:07
  hopefully they get it,
• 9:08
  they get it together here.
• 9:11
  Um, but again,
• 9:12
  fan of John fan of Lauren Olson,
• 9:17
  really excited to see
• 9:17
  Lauren do some body weight stuff.
• 9:19
  Cause she's their strength specialist too.
• 9:21
  Uh, but they had her do rope climbs, uh,
• 9:24
  this weekend, which was fun to watch.
• 9:27
  Um, I'm actually like,
• 9:29
  I used to not like grid at all.
• 9:32
  Um,
• 9:35
  but now I'm actually kind of
• 9:37
  enjoying it they're super
• 9:40
  quick matches they're done
• 9:42
  fast um so um so yeah so
• 9:56
  that was uh DB DB doing
• 9:59
  some grid League along with
• 10:01
  some other people we know so pretty cool
• 10:06
  uh wfp put out a new
• 10:07
  unbreakable show this
• 10:09
  weekend I think maybe
• 10:11
  yesterday featuring pat
• 10:13
  velner and danielle brandon
• 10:16
  I watched that yesterday
• 10:18
  afternoon I I really found
• 10:21
  it boring I hope I'm not
• 10:24
  offending anybody um
• 10:26
  But I try to give my opinion
• 10:28
  on these content creation
• 10:30
  things because there's so
• 10:32
  many of them coming out.
• 10:33
  And I want them to be so good.
• 10:36
  I want them to be good storytelling.
• 10:39
  And what I felt this one was,
• 10:42
  was it was all at the WFP Tour Event One.
• 10:46
  So it very much had the
• 10:48
  format of a games
• 10:50
  documentary that the Buddy Bros have done,
• 10:53
  what, six, seven, eight times.
• 10:56
  This was a Buttery Bros production.
• 10:59
  It was the two of them going
• 11:00
  through all the events at
• 11:01
  the WFP tour stop one.
• 11:04
  And to me,
• 11:05
  there's not enough drama from a
• 11:07
  tour stop with no climax at the end.
• 11:12
  You're just getting points
• 11:13
  to move to the next level.
• 11:16
  There's not enough drama
• 11:17
  there for it alone to be a great story.
• 11:21
  And so I think you have to
• 11:22
  bring some other stuff in.
• 11:25
  What they vaguely brought in
• 11:26
  with Pat Vellner was he was
• 11:27
  not performing well.
• 11:29
  And Michelle LaTondra was
• 11:31
  there talking about how
• 11:34
  they want him to be ready
• 11:36
  for the last event where
• 11:38
  it's double points.
• 11:39
  And that means more.
• 11:40
  And so they're giving up
• 11:42
  some of his fitness at the
• 11:43
  beginning of the season.
• 11:45
  I wanted more into that.
• 11:47
  I wanted to understand that more,
• 11:49
  how that training looked
• 11:51
  and why they were doing that.
• 11:54
  And then there was one piece,
• 11:56
  and it was just a split
• 11:57
  second with Danielle,
• 12:01
  where they show her
• 12:02
  high-fiving Justin Kotler.
• 12:05
  And I wanted to know more.
• 12:09
  We all know that they had a
• 12:12
  breakup a few years ago.
• 12:15
  We know that she said in an
• 12:17
  interview in her
• 12:18
  documentary that she liked
• 12:22
  the way that Justin coached her.
• 12:25
  and I know that it was not
• 12:28
  an amicable split and to
• 12:30
  see them high-fiving each
• 12:31
  other at a world fitness
• 12:33
  project event what where
• 12:35
  are we now are they back on
• 12:39
  speaking terms are they
• 12:40
  back to at least being
• 12:42
  cordial with each other I
• 12:44
  wanted to to see where that
• 12:46
  was and there was nothing
• 12:48
  they gave me nothing in that direction
• 12:52
  And maybe neither one would
• 12:53
  speak about it.
• 12:54
  But man, when I saw the high five,
• 12:56
  I was like,
• 12:57
  there's a story there and
• 12:58
  that's what I want to know.
• 13:01
  And that's what I'm looking
• 13:01
  for in all these documentaries,
• 13:04
  these things that happen,
• 13:06
  these little tidbits that
• 13:08
  can lead to a bigger story.
• 13:10
  And I feel like lately the
• 13:12
  people creating the content
• 13:15
  are just missing out on those signals,
• 13:17
  those signs to give me more of a story.
• 13:22
  that's what I want to see um
• 13:27
  I I know all about
• 13:28
  danielle's prowess on her
• 13:30
  hands I know about um all
• 13:33
  this the other stuff that
• 13:34
  they talked about in this
• 13:36
  this film or whatever you
• 13:38
  want to call it it was long
• 13:39
  it was forty seven minutes
• 13:41
  long um and frankly I I got bored
• 13:46
  um, which is very rare for me to,
• 13:48
  in a CrossFit type documentary, I,
• 13:53
  I don't get bored.
• 13:54
  Um, even if it's repeated information, um,
• 13:58
  I usually can hang pretty well, but man,
• 14:00
  yesterday afternoon,
• 14:01
  I struggled just getting
• 14:02
  through this one.
• 14:04
  I'm,
• 14:04
  I'm anxious to hear your thoughts and
• 14:05
  to see if you thought it
• 14:07
  was any better than what I think.
• 14:10
  Um,
• 14:13
  Um, because I said earlier, like,
• 14:17
  I think what WFP did with, uh,
• 14:19
  Laura Horvat was one of the
• 14:21
  best pieces of content all year.
• 14:24
  Um, this one, I'd give a C, uh,
• 14:28
  which is probably my lowest
• 14:29
  grade of any of the road to the games.
• 14:32
  Any of the WFP stuff,
• 14:34
  any of the Hiller stuff,
• 14:36
  lowest grade of the season
• 14:37
  would be this last one that
• 14:39
  just came out.
• 14:41
  I just thought it was blah.
• 14:44
  and really hard to watch.
• 14:49
  So all of the commentary,
• 14:55
  all of the commentary was
• 14:58
  Tommy Marquez and the buttery bros,
• 15:01
  which also left me a little bit flat.
• 15:05
  Um,
• 15:06
  and didn't have a lot of depth to the
• 15:08
  storytelling.
• 15:12
  So
• 15:17
  And I can say, keeping it real,
• 15:18
  I can say that WFP does
• 15:21
  have good content because they do.
• 15:23
  Um, and I know you said, just kidding,
• 15:26
  but that Laura Horvat video
• 15:28
  was freaking awesome.
• 15:30
  It is one of the best things
• 15:31
  put out this year.
• 15:34
  Um, and I will,
• 15:36
  I will pound that rock all
• 15:39
  year long until something beats it.
• 15:42
  Um,
• 15:42
  Hiller has tied it with a couple videos,
• 15:45
  but, uh,
• 15:50
  And so, yeah,
• 15:52
  I think right now I have
• 15:53
  three in that upper echelon
• 15:57
  and that is Laura Horvath
• 15:58
  and that is the Jason
• 16:01
  Hopper video that Hiller
• 16:03
  did and the Hip and Steel
• 16:06
  video that Hopper did.
• 16:09
  And I think he's getting
• 16:10
  really close to having
• 16:12
  maybe something even more
• 16:14
  epic than all of them with Erica follow,
• 16:16
  but it's coming together in pieces.
• 16:19
  Um,
• 16:19
  and we need to have the climax to the
• 16:21
  story.
• 16:23
  And if that happens,
• 16:24
  he is set up where that
• 16:26
  story will be huge.
• 16:31
  So if you want depth,
• 16:36
  the buttery bros are not the place to go.
• 16:37
  Typically now,
• 16:41
  I mean, if you want fun, that's fine.
• 16:44
  And yeah, we'll see.
• 16:53
  We need a Bill Leahy climax.
• 16:55
  Yeah,
• 16:55
  that's another one that he has set up
• 16:59
  through years of interviews
• 17:01
  and visits and all of that,
• 17:04
  that if Bill Leahy goes to
• 17:06
  the games and does something amazing,
• 17:09
  he has put it together in pieces,
• 17:13
  and it'll be cool to see
• 17:14
  what that climax looks like.
• 17:18
  Yeah, I would look forward to seeing that.
• 17:24
  this thing the wfp just put
• 17:26
  out is not not on it is my
• 17:29
  lowest rated video of the
• 17:30
  year and I thought the one
• 17:33
  road to the games with fee
• 17:35
  and abby was about as bad
• 17:38
  as it could get because
• 17:39
  there just was nothing new
• 17:40
  put in those and they were
• 17:41
  just basic training day videos
• 17:45
  um with nothing extra and
• 17:48
  interviewing both of them I
• 17:50
  know they have a lot extra
• 17:51
  to share and nothing was
• 17:53
  nothing was shared that was
• 17:56
  just a really felt like a
• 17:58
  thrown together quickly
• 18:01
  video hattie and I talked
• 18:05
  about it last night she's
• 18:07
  hoping she gets a road to
• 18:09
  the games video now that she's qualified
• 18:12
  There's so much story with her.
• 18:16
  If they screw that pooch, man,
• 18:20
  if they even do it, who knows?
• 18:25
  We'll find out.
• 18:32
  um who is doing road to the
• 18:35
  games videos it's ian
• 18:37
  wittenberg I believe is the
• 18:38
  person behind it who used
• 18:40
  to work for savan on the
• 18:42
  media team he's very
• 18:44
  talented in what he does um
• 18:47
  but I don't think he's
• 18:48
  great at finding the story
• 18:51
  he's great at the video
• 18:52
  part of it and great at the
• 18:54
  editing but not great at
• 18:56
  finding the story and
• 18:58
  pulling that out of the athletes um
• 19:04
  And actually Hiller and I
• 19:05
  have talked about it a
• 19:05
  little bit behind the scenes.
• 19:08
  Um,
• 19:08
  and Hiller's talked to the people at
• 19:10
  CrossFit are doing the road
• 19:11
  to the games and, um, but they're,
• 19:14
  they're just falling short on,
• 19:16
  on all of that.
• 19:18
  And it's sad.
• 19:19
  Cause I,
• 19:20
  I used to love road to the games
• 19:22
  used to love road to the games.
• 19:34
  so there's that um kenneth
• 19:39
  says maybe the athletes are
• 19:40
  just boring um kenneth I I
• 19:43
  just told you I've
• 19:44
  interviewed abby and phi
• 19:46
  they are not boring people
• 19:48
  they're they have so much
• 19:49
  to talk about they're just
• 19:52
  not they're just not
• 19:54
  pulling it out of the athletes
• 19:57
  And you can't,
• 19:59
  when you have Danielle Brandon in a video,
• 20:02
  you can't say that she's boring.
• 20:04
  That would be the last thing
• 20:06
  on earth you would say she is.
• 20:08
  You just, but you can't just,
• 20:12
  you can't show workout porn
• 20:14
  videos and expect it to
• 20:16
  like carry it every single time.
• 20:18
  You have to tell a story.
• 20:20
  And it's the creator not doing that,
• 20:22
  not finding the story behind it all.
• 20:35
  Um, so yeah, a lot,
• 20:39
  some of the other thing, Corey,
• 20:41
  you can get workout porn on IG all day.
• 20:44
  You can all day long.
• 20:53
  That's it right there
• 20:55
  outside the gym coverage.
• 21:01
  Do you read Vellner boring DBE?
• 21:03
  Definitely not exactly.
• 21:07
  And I even pointed out
• 21:08
  examples where this one
• 21:10
  could have been better.
• 21:10
  There was,
• 21:11
  there was this piece with
• 21:12
  Michelle LaTondra and Pat
• 21:14
  Vellner and him not doing
• 21:15
  well at WFP and why and how
• 21:19
  she has to work with him
• 21:21
  mentally and why he's not doing well.
• 21:24
  There's a reason behind it.
• 21:26
  And then again,
• 21:27
  when you see Justin Kotler
• 21:29
  and Daniel Brandon giving
• 21:30
  each other a high five and
• 21:31
  you don't follow up with it, that's you,
• 21:34
  the creator's fault.
• 21:38
  Cause there is a story there.
• 21:39
  I guarantee it.
• 21:47
  Um,
• 21:49
  Dave's week in review
• 21:50
  yesterday was pretty flat.
• 21:53
  Nothing really new coming out of that.
• 21:57
  He's testing workouts.
• 22:03
  He said that most of the
• 22:04
  stuff coming out for the
• 22:06
  CrossFit Games is CrossFit style.
• 22:12
  Nothing outside the box.
• 22:16
  And that worries me.
• 22:18
  You know,
• 22:19
  I hear people say that Dave's
• 22:23
  workouts are uninspired.
• 22:26
  He's kind of becoming repetitive.
• 22:30
  And when I hear him say that
• 22:31
  these are just straight
• 22:32
  down the road CrossFit
• 22:34
  style workouts with nothing
• 22:35
  outside the box,
• 22:38
  is that what we're getting now is...
• 22:42
  None of the cool toys,
• 22:43
  none of the cool apparatus.
• 22:46
  Is there a fear of liability?
• 22:54
  Because CrossFit has been so
• 22:56
  hands-off this year with everything.
• 22:59
  putting the liability onto
• 23:00
  third parties and taking it
• 23:02
  off of themselves.
• 23:04
  Are we going to get a very
• 23:06
  generic right down the
• 23:08
  fairway CrossFit games
• 23:10
  because of this fear now?
• 23:12
  I, I, I hope not.
• 23:17
  And so when he said that I would,
• 23:19
  as much as I love like
• 23:21
  basic CrossFit workouts in testing people,
• 23:25
  it scares me that that is going to be the,
• 23:28
  the,
• 23:31
  pretty much what we're
• 23:32
  getting now at the crossfit
• 23:33
  games clock says I'll say
• 23:43
  it dave's programming for
• 23:44
  the games last year was
• 23:45
  lame it feels like dave's
• 23:47
  just dialing it in at this
• 23:48
  point uh fluffy fit he
• 23:52
  probably was told to simmer it down
• 23:59
  Larry Young, very repetitive,
• 24:01
  so I expect the same as usual.
• 24:02
  Normally, he hypes it up huge,
• 24:04
  and it's the same.
• 24:07
  Yeah.
• 24:13
  Kenneth DeLapp phoning it in.
• 24:16
  I hope not.
• 24:18
  That's not what I want,
• 24:19
  and I don't think that's
• 24:20
  what the athletes want,
• 24:22
  and I don't think it's what
• 24:23
  the fans want.
• 24:25
  But I just feel like it's playing it safe,
• 24:28
  which is very
• 24:29
  counterculture to what CrossFit is.
• 24:37
  I don't know.
• 24:43
  Clark says, you say potato, I say potato.
• 24:45
  No.
• 24:50
  The other thing that Dave
• 24:51
  said in the Week in Review
• 24:52
  that was wild to me is that
• 24:55
  the Community Cup was a success.
• 24:59
  I'd like to know the numbers
• 25:00
  because I don't know a lot
• 25:02
  of people who did it.
• 25:03
  I know a handful of gyms
• 25:05
  that programmed it into
• 25:07
  their week's programming.
• 25:12
  But I don't...
• 25:17
  But I don't think that I've
• 25:18
  heard a lot of people like
• 25:19
  super excited or... And I
• 25:22
  think the big miss was over
• 25:25
  fifty percent of your
• 25:26
  athletes are masters aged athletes.
• 25:35
  And when you don't include
• 25:37
  age groups into the
• 25:39
  equation of what area
• 25:41
  you're in to compete,
• 25:43
  you've lost half of the open population.
• 25:48
  Then you hold it in the
• 25:50
  summertime when all
• 25:52
  families are out on vacations,
• 25:55
  school is out,
• 25:55
  their schedules are
• 25:56
  disrupted because kids are
• 25:58
  at home instead of at school.
• 26:01
  People have to work out at
• 26:02
  different times during the day,
• 26:04
  and it complicates things.
• 26:07
  I think the timing was bad with it,
• 26:09
  and I think not including
• 26:10
  the age groups was a huge,
• 26:12
  huge miss because I know that people –
• 26:18
  Sixty five up, seventy up.
• 26:21
  We're having to do like
• 26:24
  advanced workouts that they
• 26:25
  just could not could not do.
• 26:33
  Amanda Harry did it.
• 26:35
  That's about it.
• 26:36
  And even her, if you watch her videos,
• 26:39
  chose not to redo some reps
• 26:41
  that she thought were
• 26:42
  questionable because it
• 26:44
  didn't matter in the end.
• 26:47
  And I think that's very
• 26:47
  telling as to what this meant.
• 26:53
  Meredith,
• 26:54
  how does he measure that success?
• 26:56
  That's what I want to know.
• 26:58
  Do they have numbers of
• 26:59
  people who signed up?
• 27:04
  Has Dave just become a yes man?
• 27:07
  I don't know if Dave would
• 27:07
  ever become a full yes man,
• 27:10
  but I think that what
• 27:11
  happened at the games last
• 27:12
  year with Lazar Jukic has affected him.
• 27:21
  So, I don't know.
• 27:25
  Larry Young,
• 27:26
  no one wants to train for
• 27:27
  mediocrity quarters as a
• 27:28
  goal either percentage.
• 27:34
  Yeah, I think I'm with you on that.
• 27:36
  I think that CrossFit tried
• 27:39
  to go from taking twenty
• 27:41
  five percent or ten percent
• 27:42
  the year before.
• 27:44
  that were the quarterfinals
• 27:45
  where a lot of those people signed up.
• 27:48
  It wasn't a hundred percent,
• 27:49
  but a good chunk of them
• 27:51
  signed up and they tried to
• 27:52
  make it all inclusive to
• 27:53
  the entire community.
• 27:56
  The quarterfinals had a goal to it.
• 27:58
  People wanted to make it.
• 28:00
  People wanted to say they
• 28:01
  were a quarter finalist.
• 28:03
  It meant something.
• 28:05
  If everybody gets to do it
• 28:06
  at the community cup,
• 28:07
  it doesn't have any meaning to it.
• 28:11
  And you've already established your level.
• 28:13
  So you're not getting a new
• 28:14
  level by doing the community cup.
• 28:19
  So timing,
• 28:23
  the meaning behind it and the
• 28:24
  age group stuff,
• 28:25
  I think all now we're just
• 28:27
  getting tons of things that
• 28:28
  may have been the problem.
• 28:34
  But who knows?
• 28:35
  We'll have new owners by the
• 28:37
  end of the year,
• 28:39
  and I'm sure it'll all be
• 28:40
  different next year.
• 28:44
  Had a fun time with Hattie
• 28:46
  Canyo last night.
• 28:47
  If you missed that,
• 28:48
  make sure to go back and check that out.
• 28:51
  We talked about her being injured,
• 28:54
  how that affects her season,
• 28:56
  how she had to kind of wait
• 28:57
  until the last minute to try to qualify.
• 29:00
  We talked about NorCal.
• 29:01
  We talked about going
• 29:02
  through that whole experience.
• 29:06
  and the mental stress that put on her.
• 29:10
  And then it was a great evening.
• 29:14
  We went off the air and
• 29:15
  talked for another thirty minutes.
• 29:16
  I just adore her.
• 29:20
  We've been friends for a
• 29:21
  while now and can't wait
• 29:24
  for her to get back to the
• 29:25
  games and have a good
• 29:27
  experience this year
• 29:28
  because last year was a
• 29:29
  rookie year and anybody who
• 29:31
  was a rookie last year and
• 29:33
  that being your first games
• 29:34
  had to feel cheated.
• 29:36
  We talk about that.
• 29:38
  And now she can go back and
• 29:39
  maybe have an experience
• 29:42
  that she was looking
• 29:43
  forward to in her rookie season,
• 29:46
  may get it in her sophomore season.
• 29:50
  And that goes for the Austin Halfields,
• 29:52
  the Lexi Neelys,
• 29:53
  the people that were
• 29:54
  rookies last year and did
• 29:56
  get to punch their ticket a
• 29:57
  second straight year and
• 29:59
  now get to kind of wipe the
• 30:00
  slate clean and hopefully
• 30:02
  have a good clean run at
• 30:04
  the games this year.
• 30:11
  um the winner of my contest
• 30:15
  from yesterday which was
• 30:17
  last week I put out four
• 30:19
  thumbnails monday tuesday
• 30:21
  thursday friday where I had
• 30:23
  a chat gpt make me into a
• 30:27
  famous painting and if
• 30:28
  someone could name the
• 30:30
  artists on all four
• 30:32
  paintings and be the first
• 30:33
  one to do so I would send
• 30:35
  them out a prize pack
• 30:37
  And the winner is Beth,
• 30:39
  who her screen name is AtMazePhase,
• 30:44
  that is M-A-Z-E-F-A-Z-E,
• 30:49
  you have won the prize pack.
• 30:51
  And the answers were last
• 30:53
  Monday was Edward Munch,
• 30:55
  last Tuesday was Pablo Picasso,
• 30:57
  last Thursday was Andy Warhol,
• 31:00
  and last Friday was Vincent Van Gogh.
• 31:05
  So Beth,
• 31:06
  if you could just shoot onto
• 31:08
  Instagram and shoot me your
• 31:12
  address and email address,
• 31:14
  and I will be able to get
• 31:16
  something out to you in the
• 31:18
  next day or so.
• 31:21
  So you win the prize that is yours.
• 31:26
  So.
• 31:30
  Um, Kenneth DeLapp says,
• 31:32
  you're not a Dolly guy, huh?
• 31:34
  I actually, Dolly's actually my favorite.
• 31:36
  Uh,
• 31:37
  I've been to the Salvador Dolly museum
• 31:39
  in St.
• 31:40
  Petersburg, Florida.
• 31:43
  Um, and I actually did one with Dolly,
• 31:45
  but I think that chat GPT
• 31:47
  really cheated on it.
• 31:49
  So, uh,
• 31:51
  to explain the picture was me doing, uh,
• 31:55
  a wall walk, uh,
• 31:58
  And basically they took the
• 32:01
  wall where I was doing the
• 32:02
  handstand and around it,
• 32:06
  they put trees with melting clocks.
• 32:09
  That's how they made it a Salvador Dali.
• 32:12
  And I just thought it was cheesy.
• 32:15
  I thought it would be cooler
• 32:16
  if they'd like made the
• 32:17
  stilt legs like on the
• 32:19
  elephants up my legs doing
• 32:22
  the wall walk or something like that.
• 32:24
  But they didn't do that.
• 32:26
  So, but Salvador Dali is my favorite.
• 32:29
  And I actually like his
• 32:30
  later stuff even more where
• 32:32
  he got religious and he did
• 32:36
  some crucifixion paintings.
• 32:38
  His famous painting, The Bullfighter,
• 32:44
  this was like after his
• 32:45
  surrealist time and when he
• 32:47
  really got into doing
• 32:49
  massive paintings with more
• 32:52
  meaning to it.
• 32:53
  And The Bullfighter is about
• 32:54
  how he met his wife.
• 32:57
  And I really liked that one as well,
• 33:00
  but I got to see that one
• 33:01
  live in his museum in St.
• 33:03
  Petersburg, Florida.
• 33:05
  And I got to see the crucifixion one,
• 33:06
  which is gorgeous in person.
• 33:09
  It's actually a,
• 33:11
  a view from God looking
• 33:13
  down at the crucifixion and it's,
• 33:15
  it's amazing.
• 33:24
  Um,
• 33:25
  What I'm going to leave you
• 33:26
  with now is you guys all
• 33:28
  know that like lately,
• 33:29
  the thing that calms me
• 33:30
  down is doing Legos.
• 33:33
  But I've found something
• 33:34
  that gives me frustration with it,
• 33:36
  and that is I've been
• 33:38
  buying the light kits to go
• 33:39
  with my Legos.
• 33:41
  So you can light up the Lego
• 33:43
  like my DeLorean lights up, headlights,
• 33:46
  the flux capacitor, the tubes,
• 33:49
  all that kind of stuff.
• 33:50
  That one went amazing.
• 33:52
  I did the uphouse and did
• 33:54
  the light kit for it.
• 33:56
  and clipped a wire on the
• 33:57
  last damn wire and um and
• 34:01
  now the inside lights don't
• 34:02
  work but the rest of it
• 34:03
  lights up and I was cool
• 34:05
  with it I'm now doing the
• 34:08
  nintendo I have it all done
• 34:11
  and again the last wire
• 34:13
  trying to plug it in to
• 34:15
  these and they're teeny
• 34:16
  tiny like I can't even describe
• 34:20
  like a sixteenth of an inch,
• 34:22
  like wide maybe.
• 34:24
  And you have to plug them
• 34:25
  into this socket to get it
• 34:27
  all together into this transformer.
• 34:30
  And I clipped the wire at the end.
• 34:34
  And this is a long wire that
• 34:35
  goes down through the TV set.
• 34:38
  And so I don't know what's
• 34:39
  not going to light up.
• 34:40
  I have,
• 34:41
  I don't have AAA batteries to be
• 34:42
  able to light it up to see
• 34:44
  what I lost in that little wire clip.
• 34:47
  But it is a lot,
• 34:48
  it is so much more work
• 34:49
  doing the lighting kit than
• 34:52
  it is to actually do the
• 34:53
  Legos and you have to tear
• 34:55
  it apart to do it.
• 34:57
  And so now if I,
• 34:58
  if I even can get a
• 35:00
  replacement wire for that,
• 35:01
  I have to feed it back
• 35:03
  through the TV and try again.
• 35:05
  And if,
• 35:08
  just frustrated I'm really
• 35:09
  disappointed because it lit
• 35:11
  up the screen and it lit up
• 35:13
  some of the like question
• 35:14
  mark boxes I know I'm
• 35:16
  losing those or I gotta
• 35:19
  find this wire somewhere
• 35:21
  else where I can replace it
• 35:24
  and start that part over
• 35:26
  again but it is it is all it is awful
• 35:34
  I wish I wouldn't have got
• 35:35
  into the light kits,
• 35:35
  although it makes the
• 35:37
  DeLorean like ten times better.
• 35:40
  It makes the uphouse better.
• 35:42
  This one,
• 35:43
  like it even lights up the
• 35:44
  Nintendo power button,
• 35:46
  different things like that.
• 35:52
  So I'm going to reach out to
• 35:53
  the company and say, hey,
• 35:54
  the wire got clipped.
• 35:55
  Can I get a replacement?
• 35:57
  Because I think I'm losing
• 35:58
  too much stuff with this one.
• 36:04
  but very, very frustrated.
• 36:10
  Um, Kenneth, the lab,
• 36:11
  I'll have to check those out.
• 36:13
  Never heard of a lighting kits.
• 36:15
  Yeah.
• 36:16
  It's I'll,
• 36:19
  I'll DM you the name of the company.
• 36:21
  Um, they, they have a kit for every Lego,
• 36:25
  uh,
• 36:27
  and it so it can light up
• 36:29
  meredith the delorean is
• 36:30
  fantastic the delorean is
• 36:31
  my favorite thing so far um
• 36:34
  I really like the nintendo
• 36:35
  too and I'm actually going
• 36:37
  to put it right here when
• 36:40
  I'm done with it because
• 36:42
  it's big enough that you'll
• 36:43
  actually kind of be able to
• 36:44
  see it um the stadiums I
• 36:47
  have back there are so tiny
• 36:49
  like there's penn state and
• 36:52
  there's the there's the bears
• 36:55
  And so they're too small.
• 37:00
  So I'm going to put them up
• 37:01
  on the shelf down here and
• 37:04
  I'll just put the Nintendo back there.
• 37:09
  But yeah,
• 37:10
  that's my frustration because it
• 37:13
  was so calming putting
• 37:14
  together that Nintendo and
• 37:15
  getting it all put together.
• 37:17
  And it was like a twenty three bag.
• 37:20
  Three thousand piece Lego
• 37:22
  set and then to have the
• 37:25
  one wire clip is the last
• 37:28
  thing to plug in.
• 37:32
  Just so frustrating.
• 37:33
  Anyway.
• 37:34
  Anyway.
• 37:37
  Well, guys, again,
• 37:39
  if you are Beth Maze Phase Ninety-Nine,
• 37:42
  make sure you DM me on
• 37:44
