  It's a Tuesday and we have Cowboy.
• 0:07
  You know it.
• 0:08
  Let's go.
• 0:08
  Let's go.
• 0:19
  I love the chase and the hunt,
• 0:21
  and I set the pace when I'm running.
• 0:22
  I always take what I want,
• 0:24
  and I always give it one hundred.
• 0:25
  Don't need a bank, no, I'm funded.
• 0:27
  Play the game like it's nothing.
• 0:28
  I'm always thankful for something.
• 0:30
  Don't take for granted, stay humble.
• 0:31
  Now wake up!
• 0:33
  It's time to look at the enemy.
• 0:35
  Look in the mirror if he is no
• 0:37
  friend to me.
• 0:38
  It's not working out,
• 0:39
  maybe it's the chemistry.
• 0:41
  It's time to break up so I can
• 0:42
  make a better me.
• 0:43
  D-E-M-M-E-N-U!
• 0:48
  It's lunch time.
• 0:51
  What is going on, everybody?
• 0:52
  Welcome to Lunch with the Clydesdale.
• 0:54
  What a freaking day.
• 0:56
  I have two presentations I have to do
• 0:58
  this morning.
• 0:59
  That's why I've got the dress shirt on.
• 1:01
  Cowboy shows up on a Tuesday.
• 1:04
  So I'm thrown off.
• 1:06
  And he's telling me about people lying
• 1:08
  about their disabilities before we come on
• 1:10
  the air.
• 1:11
  Because I was completely out of pocket
• 1:12
  this morning.
• 1:13
  I thought you wore that shirt just for
• 1:15
  me.
• 1:16
  And to kick it all off.
• 1:19
  My furnace went out yesterday.
• 1:22
  Oh, no.
• 1:23
  And the technician isn't going to be able
• 1:25
  to make it out till tomorrow.
• 1:28
  Oh, no.
• 1:29
  So thank goodness it's warmed up a little
• 1:32
  bit here in Ohio.
• 1:33
  And we have a space heater in my
• 1:35
  living room.
• 1:36
  It's sixty nine degrees.
• 1:37
  That's doable.
• 1:38
  It's tolerable.
• 1:40
  Nice.
• 1:41
  But in my basement right now,
• 1:42
  I am frozen.
• 1:45
  You probably need a jacket to go with
• 1:46
  that dress shirt.
• 1:48
  Probably.
• 1:50
  Should have went full, like, suit and tie.
• 1:52
  Yeah, you'd have been better off formal,
• 1:55
  if you will.
• 1:56
  Yeah.
• 1:57
  It's a black tie affair.
• 1:58
  Problem is,
• 1:59
  I always feel like the brown shoe at
• 2:01
  the black tie affair.
• 2:03
  I don't actually own a black tie.
• 2:05
  We went to Mardi Gras ball a couple
• 2:07
  weeks ago, and I wore my tuxedo,
• 2:10
  but all of my bow ties are brightly
• 2:12
  colored, so...
• 2:17
  well i'm i'm just impressed you have a
• 2:18
  tuxedo dude oh yeah we bought one i
• 2:23
  mean we like my wife actually wears it
• 2:26
  i bought one about five years ago maybe
• 2:31
  four years ago when we had like two
• 2:32
  money grow balls to attend and like we
• 2:35
  figured we're probably gonna have to do it
• 2:36
  again and then you know if we needed
• 2:37
  it for anything else i would just have
• 2:39
  it in the closet just in case
• 2:42
  I used to have one when I was
• 2:43
  a wedding DJ.
• 2:44
  Nice.
• 2:46
  But I'm not sure I could get my
• 2:49
  left leg into that one at this point.
• 2:54
  Luckily,
• 2:54
  I bought mine and had it tailored while
• 2:56
  I was still fit.
• 2:58
  So it's pretty much the same body type
• 3:00
  I have right now.
• 3:02
  Because otherwise,
• 3:03
  if I'd have been having the same suit,
• 3:05
  like I know people that do,
• 3:06
  they've been having the same suit for
• 3:07
  like, fifteen, twenty years.
• 3:09
  If I had a suit from fifteen years
• 3:10
  ago, it would not fit now.
• 3:12
  So I got to ask because, you know,
• 3:15
  Mardi Gras is a different animal in
• 3:17
  Louisiana.
• 3:18
  Oh, yeah.
• 3:19
  Is it anywhere else in the world?
• 3:21
  That is correct.
• 3:22
  so you say mardi gras ball you went
• 3:26
  a couple weeks ago but today is mardi
• 3:28
  gras right yeah yeah so we actually went
• 3:32
  to something's called tableau so tableau
• 3:35
  honors the people who were uh kings and
• 3:38
  queens and uh ladies pages but whatever
• 3:44
  you want to call them from last year
• 3:45
  and then introduces the new ones from this
• 3:47
  year and there's a big party
• 3:50
  a band everybody brings their own music
• 3:52
  excuse me not their own music everybody
• 3:53
  brings food their own liquor whatever i
• 3:56
  mean wives don't really drink so we
• 3:59
  weren't drinking we just kind of hanging
• 4:00
  out because it's kind of fun to do
• 4:02
  i guess it's something to do to get
• 4:04
  out the house we were out until eleven
• 4:07
  thirty at night which if you know me
• 4:10
  whatsoever that is three and a half hours
• 4:12
  past my bedtime
• 4:15
  Yeah, party until dawn, basically.
• 4:17
  Yeah, more or less.
• 4:18
  I'll put it like this, dude.
• 4:19
  I flew home Sunday.
• 4:21
  By the time the plane landed, got off,
• 4:24
  got in the Jeep and got to the
• 4:25
  house, actually crawled into bed.
• 4:27
  It was twelve thirty.
• 4:29
  And that's never, ever, ever,
• 4:31
  ever happens.
• 4:35
  Uh, Kenneth, the lap says, uh,
• 4:38
  no King's rally having a fit.
• 4:39
  Yeah.
• 4:42
  And, uh, CrossFit,
• 4:43
  did you eat the cake or whatever?
• 4:46
  So I have had a King cake.
• 4:52
  Thank goodness.
• 4:52
  I didn't find a baby.
• 4:54
  Oh, there you go.
• 4:56
  Um,
• 4:56
  just means you got to buy the next
• 4:57
  one.
• 4:59
  So
• 5:01
  So do you – is it like in
• 5:03
  Louisiana,
• 5:04
  is it like a party for weeks leading
• 5:06
  up to Mardi Gras?
• 5:07
  Is it just like – If you're in
• 5:10
  New Orleans, sure.
• 5:12
  If you are in the French Quarter,
• 5:14
  absolutely.
• 5:15
  Or if you're at the gas station I
• 5:16
  was at this morning buying myself a couple
• 5:19
  of ghosts,
• 5:20
  there were people headed out this morning,
• 5:22
  two girls in there getting their little
• 5:25
  bottle of liquor about that big,
• 5:27
  literally in line in front of me wearing
• 5:29
  –
• 5:30
  guess what you call mardi gras approved
• 5:31
  apparel well today is mardi gras like i
• 5:34
  get it but no i mean so where
• 5:39
  i live i think gonzalez has two parades
• 5:43
  maybe like one of them was weekend before
• 5:47
  last i don't go um so the big
• 5:50
  stuff is really just confined to french
• 5:53
  quarter new orleans
• 5:55
  It depends on what you call big.
• 5:57
  Like,
• 5:58
  Baton Rouge has some pretty wild parades.
• 5:59
  Spanish Town is kind of a big deal.
• 6:05
  The one that we went to a couple
• 6:06
  years ago, I mean,
• 6:07
  it finishes inside the River Center,
• 6:10
  which is also where the party's at.
• 6:11
  I say finishes.
• 6:12
  Like,
• 6:12
  they drive the floats through the middle
• 6:13
  of the River Center.
• 6:15
  And everybody comes in afterwards.
• 6:16
  That one's kind of a big deal.
• 6:17
  But yeah, I mean, Bacchus, Endymion,
• 6:23
  all that good stuff is all downtown New
• 6:26
  Orleans, French Quarter area and whatnot.
• 6:28
  And that's where you get over a million
• 6:31
  people in a space that is not designed
• 6:33
  to hold over a million people.
• 6:37
  This past weekend is when it kind of
• 6:39
  culminates.
• 6:39
  Like that's when all the wild shit
• 6:41
  actually goes down.
• 6:42
  Today, actually, believe it or not,
• 6:44
  even though it's Mardi Gras day,
• 6:45
  today is fairly calm if you were to
• 6:47
  go down there right now and catch a
• 6:48
  parade.
• 6:49
  It's not like it was Saturday night or
• 6:52
  Friday night or even Sunday night.
• 6:55
  So Sten says,
• 6:56
  isn't Fat Tuesday the end of Mardi Gras
• 6:57
  since Ash Wednesday kicks off Lent?
• 7:00
  So Mardi Gras actually means Fat Tuesday.
• 7:03
  Correct.
• 7:05
  And Fat Tuesday was around because
• 7:08
  tomorrow's the day you have to start
• 7:09
  giving up stuff.
• 7:10
  So indulge as much as you can today.
• 7:14
  Right.
• 7:15
  So really,
• 7:16
  today is supposed to be the day you
• 7:18
  let it loose, all the sins,
• 7:20
  all the indulgences,
• 7:22
  because tomorrow you go to Ash Wednesday
• 7:25
  and it's all forgiven.
• 7:28
  It's the original kind of thought behind
• 7:31
  it.
• 7:31
  More or less, yeah.
• 7:32
  That's the original thought behind it,
• 7:33
  absolutely.
• 7:35
  And then New Orleans just made it like
• 7:37
  a party with beads and bright colors and
• 7:42
  glitter.
• 7:43
  If you've never been,
• 7:50
  it is something to see.
• 7:51
  I will say that.
• 7:53
  It is one hundred percent something to
• 7:54
  see.
• 7:55
  It is not for me.
• 7:56
  it's too many people too many drunks too
• 7:59
  many it's just too much I've been down
• 8:02
  there I've been down there on every day
• 8:05
  conceivable from like this past Friday
• 8:09
  because this like I said this past weekend
• 8:10
  is when really gets wild the weekend
• 8:12
  before that there's some cool parades and
• 8:14
  stuff like that too um but I've been
• 8:17
  downtown through all of it and like just
• 8:21
  trying to keep track of the people that
• 8:23
  you are with
• 8:25
  is insane it's absolutely wild if you're
• 8:29
  trying to like kind of negotiate your way
• 8:32
  through uh kenneth taking a shot corey
• 8:36
  started working for the wfp or something
• 8:38
  this is the most non-answer ever on this
• 8:41
  show i don't like mardi gras most people
• 8:46
  from there don't last time i was there
• 8:48
  was like two weeks before mardi gras it
• 8:51
  was i mean it was kicking i wouldn't
• 8:53
  say it was like
• 8:56
  Because I am not a person that likes
• 8:58
  huge crowds and being jammed in.
• 9:02
  I hate that.
• 9:03
  So I know Mardi Gras is not for
• 9:06
  me.
• 9:06
  Negative.
• 9:07
  Right.
• 9:08
  But two weeks before,
• 9:09
  and I was in my mid-twenties last time
• 9:11
  I was there.
• 9:13
  It was kicking.
• 9:14
  I was having fun.
• 9:15
  Sure.
• 9:17
  And it was all good.
• 9:18
  But I would not have come back two
• 9:20
  weeks later to be smushed.
• 9:22
  Yeah.
• 9:24
  You go...
• 9:26
  Like to the Metairie Parade,
• 9:27
  so Metairie is a suburb of New Orleans.
• 9:30
  Metairie Parades are pretty cool.
• 9:31
  They're a lot more laid back.
• 9:33
  They still can get kind of wild depending
• 9:35
  on where you're at,
• 9:35
  but it's more of a family atmosphere.
• 9:38
  Thibodaux, about where I used to live,
• 9:40
  way better because same thing, right?
• 9:42
  There's pretty serious parades, you know,
• 9:46
  relatively speaking for size and people
• 9:48
  that are involved and whatnot.
• 9:51
  it's more of a family atmosphere, right?
• 9:52
  So there's not necessarily as many drunks
• 9:55
  around and whatnot.
• 9:57
  Homer, same type deal.
• 9:59
  Even Baton Rouge, depending on, again,
• 10:01
  on where you want to stand,
• 10:03
  that kind of goes out.
• 10:04
  I am lucky this year that I was
• 10:07
  in North Charleston,
• 10:09
  South Carolina on the one day of the
• 10:12
  one parade that my wife,
• 10:14
  that we actually ended up going to because
• 10:16
  it passes in front of our aunt's house
• 10:17
  in Port Allen.
• 10:19
  I was trying not to die Sunday during
• 10:23
  one of those workouts.
• 10:25
  Mark Phillips says,
• 10:26
  I grew up on the coast,
• 10:27
  got sick of it after a while.
• 10:28
  Yeah, everybody from there hates it.
• 10:30
  Like everybody I've talked to that's from
• 10:31
  there hates it.
• 10:35
  My sons say, twelve are fathers,
• 10:36
  fifteen Hail Marys,
• 10:38
  and I absolve you of your debauchery
• 10:40
  starting tomorrow.
• 10:41
  Yeah.
• 10:42
  There's not a whole lot of middle ground.
• 10:45
  People either absolutely love it
• 10:48
  and show up, you know,
• 10:50
  just been doing it all their lives and
• 10:51
  that's their thing and whatnot.
• 10:53
  Or they go to Disney world during Mardi
• 10:55
  Gras time.
• 10:56
  Like you would be,
• 10:58
  I could have flown to Disney this weekend,
• 11:01
  this past weekend,
• 11:02
  and probably ran into people that I knew.
• 11:05
  It's a thing.
• 11:09
  CrossFit says our district is greater than
• 11:11
  bourbon.
• 11:12
  Everything's greater than bourbon.
• 11:14
  Is it Jefferson square?
• 11:16
  Jefferson Square is right around the
• 11:17
  corner.
• 11:17
  It's all French Quarter.
• 11:19
  Yeah,
• 11:19
  but that's what I loved when I visited.
• 11:22
  Oh, yeah.
• 11:22
  So that's where a lot of street performers
• 11:24
  are.
• 11:25
  The artists doing charcoal stuff.
• 11:29
  Yep.
• 11:30
  You want to get a caricature of you
• 11:33
  and your wife.
• 11:34
  That's the place you want to go.
• 11:35
  You want to watch people do magic tricks,
• 11:36
  break dancing,
• 11:39
  live music just on the street.
• 11:40
  People just singing,
• 11:41
  playing guitars and shit like that.
• 11:42
  Yeah, that's where you want to go.
• 11:43
  You don't want to be on bourbon.
• 11:45
  It's Jackson Square.
• 11:47
  No.
• 11:49
  What you said?
• 11:49
  Jefferson.
• 11:50
  Yeah.
• 11:50
  Jackson Square.
• 11:52
  One of those old presidents.
• 11:53
  A hundred percent.
• 11:54
  Yeah.
• 11:55
  Kenneth says, sounds like being in Vegas,
• 11:57
  being a Vegas local,
• 11:59
  you never go to the strip.
• 12:00
  Maybe when family visits.
• 12:02
  Yeah.
• 12:05
  You couldn't pay me to go to like
• 12:07
  next weekend when all of this stuff is
• 12:09
  over with.
• 12:09
  You couldn't pay me to go to Bourbon
• 12:10
  Street for anything.
• 12:13
  My thing about the French Quarter is just
• 12:14
  the food.
• 12:15
  I just love the food.
• 12:17
  You don't need to go to French Quarter
• 12:18
  for that.
• 12:19
  Yeah, but if you're not from there,
• 12:21
  you don't know.
• 12:22
  Yeah, a hundred percent.
• 12:23
  You don't know.
• 12:25
  the problem with being in the french
• 12:26
  quarter and going to get like cajun food
• 12:30
  is that it's all wildly overpriced because
• 12:33
  you're it's it's all tourist trap uh type
• 12:36
  places and a lot of it at least
• 12:39
  the last time a couple times we've
• 12:40
  actually had to eat now uh had to
• 12:42
  eat down there it was homogenized like you
• 12:43
  want to get out of the quarter to
• 12:45
  find really ridiculous food at decent
• 12:49
  prices
• 12:50
  you got to get away from it and
• 12:51
  i know i sound like an old man
• 12:54
  saying that kind of but it's true like
• 12:56
  you got to get away from there you
• 12:59
  kind of are yeah well one more thing
• 13:01
  before we get into all the crossfit stuff
• 13:04
  is we lost an icon yesterday
• 13:09
  Robert Duvall,
• 13:10
  one of my favorite actors of all time,
• 13:12
  passed away yesterday.
• 13:15
  I mean, he was old.
• 13:16
  He lived a great life.
• 13:18
  I didn't realize he was ninety five.
• 13:19
  It tracks.
• 13:21
  But I was not like when I saw
• 13:22
  the announcement,
• 13:23
  he was like passed away at ninety five.
• 13:25
  I was like, oh, OK, well, yeah,
• 13:26
  that makes sense.
• 13:28
  So I thought about like,
• 13:29
  what were my favorite movies that Robert
• 13:31
  Duvall ever did?
• 13:32
  And then what I came down to is
• 13:34
  he's been in so many iconic movies like
• 13:36
  Apocalypse Now and The Great Santini and
• 13:42
  The Godfather, right?
• 13:43
  Like those great.
• 13:44
  So I just picked like four movies that
• 13:46
  I thought he stole scenes in and he
• 13:50
  wasn't even really the major character.
• 13:52
  Got it.
• 13:54
  So one was Secondhand Lions.
• 13:58
  Hold my can.
• 14:00
  When he,
• 14:01
  when he's out in the water and they
• 14:02
  have to bring him in,
• 14:03
  like that scene was phenomenal.
• 14:05
  Or that whenever they, they in the, uh,
• 14:09
  when he's eating the barbecue and he beats
• 14:10
  the shit out of them for kids and
• 14:11
  then ends up like they all hugging him
• 14:13
  and whatnot.
• 14:16
  Um,
• 14:17
  the judge is a great underrated movie with
• 14:20
  him and Robert Downey jr.
• 14:22
  Yup.
• 14:22
  And he is phenomenal in that playing a
• 14:25
  guy on the verge of dementia.
• 14:27
  Um,
• 14:28
  Days of Thunder,
• 14:30
  that was a Tom Cruise movie,
• 14:31
  but I think he steals that movie in
• 14:34
  so many places.
• 14:35
  Fifty laps your way, fifty laps my way.
• 14:38
  You give me an honest run and I
• 14:39
  guarantee you I'm going to beat you.
• 14:42
  And then the last one was Phenomenon with
• 14:44
  John Travolta.
• 14:45
  John Travolta, yeah.
• 14:47
  He steals the movie in the bar when
• 14:51
  he's doing the speech to John Travolta.
• 14:55
  And then the part where he chastises the
• 14:59
  town people for treating him differently
• 15:01
  now, like that was a scene stealer.
• 15:05
  So those were my four scene stealers of
• 15:07
  Robert Duvall.
• 15:09
  God bless him, dude.
• 15:10
  God bless him.
• 15:10
  Going on to his reward.
• 15:12
  I loved it.
• 15:14
  I've never seen anything with him in it
• 15:17
  that I did not like.
• 15:18
  At least him in it.
• 15:19
  The rest of the movie might have been
• 15:20
  shit.
• 15:20
  It did not matter, though.
• 15:21
  That dude was awesome.
• 15:25
  My wife's favorite movie is The Apostle.
• 15:27
  Okay.
• 15:28
  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 15:29
  Yeah, she loves that movie.
• 15:31
  And so, yeah.
• 15:34
  And I almost went with this, Mark.
• 15:36
  Besides Nicolas Cage,
• 15:37
  he was the most memorable character from
• 15:39
  Gone in Sixty Seconds.
• 15:41
  Yeah, not a great movie.
• 15:42
  It's a fun watch.
• 15:44
  I love watching it,
• 15:45
  but you couldn't put it in the great
• 15:47
  movie category.
• 15:49
  He's awesome in it.
• 15:50
  Yeah, he's fantastic.
• 15:51
  Him and Cage are absolutely... Yeah,
• 15:55
  they make the whole movie.
• 15:56
  Yeah.
• 15:58
  So, you know,
• 16:02
  thoughts and prayers to his family.
• 16:04
  He lived a great life,
• 16:05
  left behind a legacy,
• 16:08
  but one of the great actors of our
• 16:09
  time.
• 16:12
  So last night I was watching boys
• 16:14
  interrupted and they talked about the
• 16:17
  times they were talking about mental, um,
• 16:22
  strength.
• 16:22
  Okay.
• 16:23
  And then it turned into all the times
• 16:26
  that they had meltdowns in training or at
• 16:28
  events.
• 16:29
  where they may have just walked out of
• 16:32
  training or walked out because it just was
• 16:35
  going horribly.
• 16:38
  If you didn't see it,
• 16:39
  one of the examples is Justin talking
• 16:41
  about he was learning the new sandbag
• 16:44
  technique because it used to be thrown
• 16:46
  over your shoulder or just quick up and
• 16:48
  down.
• 16:49
  And you have to like now be set.
• 16:51
  And then now they do the arm out.
• 16:53
  They didn't do the arm out yet.
• 16:55
  and so adam was no repping him and
• 16:57
  no repping him and no repping him and
• 16:58
  he said on the round of nine i
• 17:00
  ended up doing sixteen reps because i was
• 17:03
  just like i'm doing it right and i'm
• 17:04
  gonna keep doing it and then the last
• 17:08
  part of the workout was an eight hundred
• 17:09
  meter run and he said he just walked
• 17:11
  it because he was so pissed and and
• 17:14
  so he walked it and during the walk
• 17:16
  like all everything calmed down and he
• 17:18
  realized he was the ass he was the
• 17:21
  one that like wasn't doing it right
• 17:24
  And I,
• 17:24
  and it made me think of like,
• 17:26
  I've had those meltdowns where I've walked
• 17:30
  out of the gym where I've just in
• 17:32
  the middle of a workout,
• 17:33
  I got upset at myself and I walked
• 17:35
  out and I was curious if anybody else
• 17:38
  has had those moments.
• 17:39
  Dude,
• 17:42
  I have thrown my old RPM rope against
• 17:47
  the wall.
• 17:49
  No less than six or seven times when
• 17:52
  I was first learning double-unders.
• 17:53
  Because surely it was the rope's fault and
• 17:55
  not mine.
• 17:57
  Trip, take a breath, steady yourself.
• 18:00
  Trip, take a breath, steady yourself.
• 18:02
  Trip, take a breath, steady yourself.
• 18:03
  Trip again, rope goes flying.
• 18:07
  Like, easy day, right?
• 18:10
  Snatching.
• 18:12
  Dude,
• 18:13
  missing a weight that you should be
• 18:15
  hitting.
• 18:15
  Oh, shit.
• 18:15
  Okay, okay, all right, all right, okay,
• 18:18
  okay.
• 18:21
  Miss it again,
• 18:22
  slammed the barbell to a point where it
• 18:24
  bounced and almost hit me in the face,
• 18:26
  like slammed it that hard,
• 18:27
  and it wasn't with a heavy weight,
• 18:29
  and had to go walk outside to come
• 18:32
  back in and, like,
• 18:33
  do the same thing Justin did,
• 18:34
  just walk outside, give myself about five,
• 18:38
  ten minutes, whatever,
• 18:39
  before I come back in and go, okay,
• 18:41
  it's not –
• 18:43
  It's not that fall ring muscle ups.
• 18:45
  I almost cried on a couple of different
• 18:47
  occasions going.
• 18:49
  There's no reason why I can't do this.
• 18:52
  When I was first learning and like trying
• 18:54
  to get just one, dude,
• 18:55
  like I would get so frustrated.
• 18:57
  I would get so mad.
• 18:59
  I get so just all of the things
• 19:02
  that why can't I figure this out?
• 19:04
  Oh, yeah, dude.
• 19:05
  Absolutely.
• 19:07
  So the one thing I remember the most
• 19:12
  is fifteen point five.
• 19:13
  The row thruster workout.
• 19:16
  Twenty seven.
• 19:17
  Twenty one.
• 19:17
  Fifteen nine.
• 19:19
  After the fifteens,
• 19:21
  I literally got off the rower and I
• 19:22
  was walking to the door.
• 19:23
  I had my hand on the door handle
• 19:26
  to leave.
• 19:28
  And I said to myself, like,
• 19:30
  you don't quit workouts.
• 19:32
  Get back to it.
• 19:33
  And I did.
• 19:34
  I got back to it.
• 19:36
  Probably affected my time, but,
• 19:38
  and I never redid it,
• 19:39
  but I did go back and finish it.
• 19:42
  But the one time I think I was
• 19:44
  doing a workout, it was,
• 19:45
  it might've been filthy.
• 19:46
  I can't remember exactly,
• 19:50
  but I was doing pull-ups and my hand
• 19:53
  started to rip.
• 19:55
  And then they rip more.
• 19:56
  And then they rip more.
• 19:58
  And the one thing I had in my
• 20:01
  arsenal was I didn't quit.
• 20:03
  I never quit.
• 20:04
  No matter what was coming at me,
• 20:06
  I never quit.
• 20:07
  And I just couldn't.
• 20:09
  And I quit.
• 20:11
  I got so mad at myself that I
• 20:14
  punished myself
• 20:16
  outside and i just started doing box jumps
• 20:18
  outside the gym on a box and i
• 20:22
  was not going to stop until everybody was
• 20:24
  done with the workout because i quit and
• 20:27
  i deserve the punishment yeah and my coach
• 20:32
  comes out and he goes what are you
• 20:33
  doing and i'm like i'm punishing myself
• 20:36
  because i quit he said look at your
• 20:38
  hands there was blood everywhere yeah he's
• 20:43
  like it's not healthy for you to finish
• 20:46
  You don't need to finish, dude.
• 20:47
  It's going to be okay.
• 20:48
  You've got to give yourself some grace on
• 20:49
  this stuff.
• 20:51
  And I was like, ugh.
• 20:52
  It's a hard thing to do, dude.
• 20:54
  That is a very hard thing to do.
• 20:56
  We got done with one of the workouts
• 20:58
  over the weekend and I told my partner
• 21:02
  after we got done,
• 21:03
  I was cussing because I was mad at
• 21:05
  myself because I'm better than what I did.
• 21:09
  I'm better than what I showed, whatnot.
• 21:14
  And
• 21:15
  we met friday right this was saturday um
• 21:20
  and i said i'm just gonna need y'all
• 21:21
  to give me about ten minutes i'll be
• 21:23
  fine but like just give me a couple
• 21:26
  minutes this is because i i'm i'm not
• 21:28
  okay i will be i'm not mad at
• 21:31
  y'all but i am one hundred percent just
• 21:33
  gonna need a couple minutes uh chad anufi
• 21:36
  says bad day double unders will do that
• 21:38
  to you uh shana's had those moments
• 21:42
  I kicked the little plastic chair we have
• 21:45
  on between reps in the gym,
• 21:47
  trying to do ring muscle ups.
• 21:50
  My wife,
• 21:51
  my wife started CrossFit with me and she
• 21:56
  hated the jump rope to her jump rope
• 21:57
  would fly across the gym all the time.
• 22:01
  were we would work outside work out
• 22:04
  outside if possible at our first gym
• 22:07
  because it was really small right and they
• 22:10
  had those big cement poles like where
• 22:12
  people park so you don't like run into
• 22:14
  the building but they painted them bright
• 22:16
  purple my wife thought it was plastic
• 22:19
  because it was purple and she kicked it
• 22:24
  and broke her toe because she was so
• 22:26
  pissed during a workout
• 22:32
  Yeah.
• 22:32
  Yeah.
• 22:32
  I try to avoid doing stuff like that
• 22:34
  specifically for that reason.
• 22:36
  So I don't do something incredibly just
• 22:40
  not bright.
• 22:43
  No, thanks.
• 22:45
  Yeah.
• 22:45
  That's terrible.
• 22:46
  That's terrible.
• 22:47
  First we're talking about,
• 22:48
  I could picture was my wife kicking the
• 22:50
  pole.
• 22:50
  Like that was the first thing that popped
• 22:52
  into my head.
• 22:54
  Um, Kenneth DeLapp says y'all crazy.
• 22:59
  Honestly,
• 23:00
  after thinking about that last night,
• 23:02
  that's my goal for this year,
• 23:04
  to get back to that mindset,
• 23:07
  to never let yourself quit,
• 23:10
  to push yourself to the edge.
• 23:11
  No matter if you're last or first or
• 23:14
  third or whatever, just do not quit.
• 23:18
  had brandon in my head uh sunday morning
• 23:20
  we were doing we had the uh it
• 23:24
  was a one partner row one partner bike
• 23:27
  buy in ten burpees over the worm and
• 23:30
  we had to do worm thrusters it was
• 23:31
  like four rounds and i had because brandon
• 23:36
  said this a couple of times he's like
• 23:38
  i will cough up blood on the floor
• 23:40
  before i stop right especially if i'm
• 23:42
  going with somebody else if i'm if you're
• 23:45
  my partner
• 23:47
  I am doing everything in my power to
• 23:48
  not let you down.
• 23:50
  And I don't care how satisfied you say
• 23:52
  you are,
• 23:54
  it'll never be enough for me.
• 23:56
  Like I want to do, you know,
• 23:58
  I'm gonna give you whatever I got,
• 24:00
  every single ounce of it I got.
• 24:01
  And I was seeing black spots in front
• 24:03
  of my eyes by the time we got
• 24:05
  done.
• 24:06
  And like,
• 24:06
  I had to go lay down for a
• 24:07
  second before I could get up and go
• 24:09
  get in the recovery boots and kind of
• 24:11
  recover for a little bit.
• 24:12
  I came real close to puking.
• 24:14
  And hey, Mr. Ortega,
• 24:18
  I got to grab Ortega's ass this weekend.
• 24:20
  That was pretty, that was pretty nice.
• 24:23
  Or take us as he saw Corey this
• 24:25
  weekend.
• 24:25
  He's a hot dude.
• 24:29
  But I think the question is which one
• 24:32
  of you two are taller.
• 24:34
  And is that, that's right there.
• 24:37
  Pretty close.
• 24:39
  Pretty darn close.
• 24:40
  I will say that.
• 24:41
  I mean, we, we were like right here.
• 24:43
  Like I can definitely stare into his eyes.
• 24:46
  Ken, you got it.
• 24:47
  Just, you got it.
• 24:47
  Perfect.
• 24:49
  i'm picturing scott outside slapping his
• 24:50
  head back and forth saying why are you
• 24:52
  doing what are you doing i'm not a
• 24:54
  quitter that is exactly pretty much what
• 24:56
  happened like chris farley and uh pretty
• 25:02
  much when he's going oh god what are
• 25:06
  you doing no lito yes
• 25:15
  I ain't quitting a workout if anyone's
• 25:17
  watching.
• 25:18
  Back then,
• 25:19
  it didn't even take someone watching me.
• 25:21
  I would be in my garage and beating
• 25:22
  myself up if I even thought about
• 25:24
  quitting.
• 25:27
  I have quit working, quit working out,
• 25:30
  quit a workout.
• 25:31
  It was just because shit just kept
• 25:32
  stacking up, going wrong,
• 25:34
  wasn't hitting whatever numbers I was
• 25:36
  supposed to be hitting,
• 25:37
  whatever the case may be.
• 25:39
  But I was by myself.
• 25:42
  If somebody's with me,
• 25:43
  if me and Scott's working out and we
• 25:44
  doing the same piece right next to each
• 25:46
  other,
• 25:47
  I'm not stopping because somebody's there,
• 25:50
  period.
• 25:52
  It's just how it is.
• 25:56
  Ortega says you can stare at his eyes
• 25:57
  any day.
• 25:58
  I did several times over the weekend.
• 26:04
  I knew I wasn't alone in that,
• 26:06
  and I found it really humorous with them
• 26:09
  telling stories about their meltdowns.
• 26:17
  That's the stuff you want to hear from
• 26:19
  these athletes more and more because it
• 26:20
  humanizes them.
• 26:21
  It makes them relatable,
• 26:24
  and that's why those four...
• 26:27
  are successful right now in what they're
• 26:29
  doing in growing their fan base because
• 26:34
  they're letting people in on their
• 26:37
  day-to-day life?
• 26:40
  I think it helps a whole lot for
• 26:42
  the casual games fan.
• 26:46
  who's a member at their gym, comes in,
• 26:48
  doesn't consider themselves necessarily be
• 26:50
  competitive,
• 26:51
  but follows the games a little bit,
• 26:52
  at least watches the games,
• 26:54
  maybe watches qualifiers,
• 26:55
  to see those guys and understand that they
• 26:58
  have bad days, just like you do,
• 27:01
  just like everybody else does.
• 27:03
  They have bad days.
• 27:04
  They have bad days.
• 27:05
  They have good days.
• 27:05
  They have days that are just kind of,
• 27:07
  yeah,
• 27:07
  just kind of went through the motions and
• 27:08
  got everything done, right?
• 27:09
  It's not always...
• 27:11
  You know, it's not PRs every day.
• 27:13
  It's not that kind of stuff.
• 27:14
  Like training looks very,
• 27:16
  very similar for ninety nine percent of
• 27:18
  the population.
• 27:20
  It doesn't it's just it's a matter of
• 27:22
  degree.
• 27:22
  It's all there is to it.
• 27:26
  There was a part where Dallin was talking
• 27:28
  about how he's really good at a
• 27:29
  competition when he has a bad event and
• 27:31
  moving on,
• 27:32
  like getting moving on to the next event
• 27:36
  until the competition is over.
• 27:37
  And then he he ponders on it for
• 27:40
  like three months.
• 27:41
  know i have the same problem bring the
• 27:44
  cop great the minute the comp's over
• 27:47
  dwelling on it forever yeah right now
• 27:50
  nothing i can do about it anyway moving
• 27:51
  on i got this other thing to think
• 27:52
  about three months from now i'll sit up
• 27:55
  dead bolt up right in the middle of
• 27:56
  the night be like god why did i
• 28:00
  put it down why did i come off
• 28:02
  the bar why did i whatever the case
• 28:03
  may be oh yeah dude i know how
• 28:05
  that feels
• 28:08
  David Reed,
• 28:09
  only way I quit is if I was
• 28:11
  injured, not a bitch.
• 28:13
  Good for you, Doug.
• 28:16
  Outstanding.
• 28:21
  So this is what we were talking about
• 28:22
  before we came on the air that threw
• 28:23
  me off.
• 28:24
  Because again,
• 28:25
  I had to present a couple times this
• 28:27
  morning at work,
• 28:28
  so I didn't have time to keep up
• 28:29
  with the news today.
• 28:31
  Yes,
• 28:31
  there's a woman who lied about her
• 28:33
  disability, apparently, to the point,
• 28:37
  and she sued the UK government.
• 28:41
  And lost.
• 28:42
  It was actually thrown out.
• 28:44
  And now she is up on criminal charges
• 28:47
  and could face years in prison because she
• 28:50
  lied about a disability that probably
• 28:53
  doesn't exist.
• 28:56
  Damn.
• 28:57
  And she won the twenty twenty five
• 29:00
  adaptive CrossFit Games for one point
• 29:03
  upper extremity.
• 29:06
  Took second in twenty twenty four as well.
• 29:12
  So that's the recap of what we know.
• 29:15
  I know there's more in the spin article,
• 29:18
  but I pretty much go through it all
• 29:21
  before the end, before we went live.
• 29:24
  No, you, you pretty much,
• 29:25
  you pretty much got, got the whole thing.
• 29:29
  You pretty much got all of it.
• 29:30
  That's I've read it.
• 29:31
  And that's the part I'm not clear on
• 29:33
  is they reached out to Kevin Ogar.
• 29:36
  And I didn't get through his whole
• 29:37
  statement as to what that means for
• 29:41
  So you have to, if I remember right,
• 29:43
  what it was saying was you have to
• 29:47
  prove or whatever, some sort of way,
• 29:49
  like what your disability is when you
• 29:51
  initially sign up in adaptive,
• 29:53
  but you don't have to prove it every
• 29:54
  single year.
• 29:56
  Does that make sense?
• 29:57
  Like, like once you say like,
• 29:58
  Kevin's like, Hey, my legs don't work.
• 30:00
  Cool.
• 30:00
  My legs,
• 30:01
  you don't have to come back next year
• 30:02
  and go, my legs still don't work.
• 30:05
  Um,
• 30:07
  so I saw that part on the spin.
• 30:12
  And there is all the here.
• 30:13
  He does a really good job of the
• 30:14
  timeline.
• 30:16
  Yeah.
• 30:17
  And then and here is where it goes
• 30:19
  into the twenty four,
• 30:20
  twenty five CrossFit games.
• 30:23
  And then here's her potential jail time.
• 30:27
  And then here are the CrossFit
• 30:28
  implications.
• 30:29
  This is where I got to.
• 30:31
  And they did reach out to Ogar and
• 30:33
  he started citing stuff in the rule book.
• 30:36
  But I wasn't able to, like,
• 30:37
  get through it enough to understand it.
• 30:44
  Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode when
• 30:45
  George told the doctor he had an arm
• 30:47
  disability.
• 30:49
  Pretty much.
• 30:53
  So if you want to know more,
• 30:55
  go to the spin.
• 30:56
  It has the whole bit right there.
• 30:59
  Can she identify that she has a
• 31:01
  disability?
• 31:02
  I don't think that works in this case.
• 31:05
  I think you actually have to prove your
• 31:07
  disability first.
• 31:08
  think that's the point the problem is that
• 31:10
  she was trying to identify that she had
• 31:12
  like she had a disability um subscribe to
• 31:15
  the spin while you're at it subscribe to
• 31:17
  clydesdale media subscribe to this show
• 31:20
  like and subscribe folks it's free do all
• 31:23
  those things it's free do all those things
• 31:26
  um so yeah one thing i wanted to
• 31:30
  hit and then i want to get your
• 31:31
  like overall
• 31:33
  impressions of fittest on the coast,
• 31:35
  but I just wanted to show this because
• 31:37
  it's coming soon here in Columbus and it
• 31:40
  affects us here a great deal.
• 31:42
  And so I just want to share the
• 31:44
  screen super fast.
• 31:46
  So the Arnold is coming to Columbus.
• 31:49
  The Arnold.
• 31:51
  The Arnold Fitness Expo is coming to
• 31:55
  Columbus.
• 31:57
  And would you say,
• 31:59
  would you say it'll be back?
• 32:03
  The best way to get here, though,
• 32:05
  is to find a chopper.
• 32:10
  So this is the expo that's going to
• 32:12
  be happening at the Arnold Fitness Expo.
• 32:16
  Okay.
• 32:17
  Just to give you an idea,
• 32:19
  the Masters CrossFit Games.
• 32:21
  Can you see my arrow there?
• 32:23
  Yep.
• 32:24
  The Masters CrossFit Games went from my
• 32:26
  arrow to the right.
• 32:29
  Got it.
• 32:30
  That is what they filled.
• 32:32
  And they had three stages and ample room
• 32:36
  and a ton of empty space.
• 32:40
  This is the entire convention center in
• 32:42
  Columbus.
• 32:44
  The entire city block.
• 32:47
  And they only have like six available
• 32:51
  booths left.
• 32:53
  Jeez, man.
• 32:55
  And this thing is full.
• 32:56
  Now you have the rogue strength stage.
• 32:58
  That's where Olympic lifting goes on.
• 33:00
  Like the big, the big hitters.
• 33:02
  Right.
• 33:03
  You have the expo stage where they do
• 33:04
  the prelims of the strong man and the
• 33:07
  bodybuilding.
• 33:09
  You have amateur strong man.
• 33:10
  You have USAPL.
• 33:13
  And then back in the back is the
• 33:15
  full Arnold strong man classic.
• 33:20
  Back here all by itself, right?
• 33:21
  Yeah.
• 33:24
  But the one thing I noticed that is
• 33:26
  super, if you've never been,
• 33:28
  it is an experience.
• 33:31
  It is an experience.
• 33:33
  Just like you and Mardi Gras,
• 33:35
  that is me in the Arnold Fitness Expo.
• 33:39
  I avoid that convention center like the
• 33:42
  plague during that weekend.
• 33:46
  This is one thing that blew me away.
• 33:50
  See this big booth?
• 33:53
  Jim Reapers.
• 33:53
  Okay.
• 33:55
  You think Jim Reapers just is dabbling
• 33:57
  into CrossFit?
• 33:59
  They have one of the biggest,
• 34:00
  their booth is the same size as Rogue.
• 34:02
  Right.
• 34:05
  Red Bull is right here,
• 34:06
  and it's probably not as much square foot.
• 34:13
  They are jump,
• 34:13
  and they have like the prime position
• 34:15
  right inside the door.
• 34:16
  Yeah, that's what I say.
• 34:18
  That's prime placement right there.
• 34:21
  Where are we going to put the Clydesdale
• 34:22
  booth since we got one of those six
• 34:23
  spots left?
• 34:24
  Yeah, no, no.
• 34:25
  We can't afford that.
• 34:28
  Thirdsy is a great sponsor,
• 34:30
  a great recovery tool,
• 34:32
  and we can get you a fifteen percent
• 34:33
  off with code Jazzy.
• 34:36
  But that don't get us into the fitness
• 34:38
  expo.
• 34:39
  Darn it.
• 34:41
  Now, maybe they're there.
• 34:42
  I haven't been able to look at everything.
• 34:46
  It wouldn't surprise me.
• 34:49
  So absolutely crazy.
• 34:53
  And just so you know,
• 34:55
  all of this out here is also the
• 34:58
  Fitness Expo.
• 35:00
  The hallway and these indents are all
• 35:03
  covered in events and booths.
• 35:07
  Jeez.
• 35:09
  And they have two other buildings in town
• 35:14
  that they use as well.
• 35:19
  So it is freaking massive.
• 35:25
  So anyway, I just wanted to share that.
• 35:27
  And I saw that Jim Reapers thing.
• 35:30
  And, you know,
• 35:30
  Jim Reapers is now the title sponsor of
• 35:33
  Wadapalooza.
• 35:34
  Yep.
• 35:35
  They're diving full on into the sports
• 35:37
  world.
• 35:38
  But to have a booth that size at
• 35:41
  this expo right inside the front door is
• 35:46
  they have to pay a pretty penny for
• 35:47
  that.
• 35:48
  It's a big deal.
• 35:50
  Real big deal.
• 35:53
  And if you,
• 35:54
  everybody should go and experience at one
• 35:56
  time, but it's one of those things,
• 35:59
  like I told you about Mardi Gras where
• 36:00
  you're jammed in and you're like wall to
• 36:03
  wall people.
• 36:04
  And that just is not for me.
• 36:06
  No.
• 36:07
  The only thing I would ever do is
• 36:08
  like go back to strong man and like
• 36:10
  sit in the stands and have my spot.
• 36:14
  That's about all I would do.
• 36:19
  can see that uh people watching at
• 36:21
  bodybuilding shows expos is the best it's
• 36:24
  it's pretty fun yeah i bet you per
• 36:28
  capita it is the most spray tanned
• 36:32
  attended event in the world more spray
• 36:38
  paint more spray tan per uh square inch
• 36:41
  you can shake a stick at yep yep
• 36:44
  you may slip in spray tan
• 36:46
  yeah probably smells of spray dan in there
• 36:48
  like what is that chemical kind of bernie
• 36:51
  thing yeah why is everybody orange a
• 36:55
  strong man is a separate ticket though i
• 36:59
  will pay the extra to go sit and
• 37:01
  be left alone yeah the bodybuilding the
• 37:06
  mate like the finals are a separate ticket
• 37:08
  too yeah they're they're making they're
• 37:11
  making bank well i'm sure
• 37:15
  More spray tan than oil at a ditty
• 37:17
  party.
• 37:19
  That's a close competition, Kenneth.
• 37:20
  It's probably what and what.
• 37:27
  Is there a CrossFit comp at the Arnold
• 37:29
  there, Scott?
• 37:30
  They do one in the UK, Arnold's,
• 37:32
  but sadly it coincides with quarterfinals
• 37:35
  this year.
• 37:37
  They used to have an affiliate gathering
• 37:39
  at the Arnold and they would have a
• 37:41
  team competition.
• 37:43
  And it used to be back where the
• 37:44
  strong man stuff is,
• 37:46
  but it fell off like maybe two years
• 37:49
  ago.
• 37:50
  And I don't think it's come back.
• 37:56
  Yeah.
• 37:56
  Expo tickets are fifty five dollars now.
• 37:59
  Holy crap.
• 38:01
  Last time I went, it was seventeen.
• 38:04
  That fifty five dollars a day.
• 38:07
  I'm assuming.
• 38:08
  Is that a fifty-five a day or is
• 38:10
  that fifty-five for the whole weekend?
• 38:16
  If it's fifty-five dollars a day,
• 38:17
  they can keep it.
• 38:17
  I don't need to go there that bad.
• 38:20
  Sten says they used to do one,
• 38:22
  but the Arnold screwed the group that put
• 38:24
  it on.
• 38:25
  Yeah, I know the whole story.
• 38:30
  The Arnold really did screw them over.
• 38:33
  Pretty bad.
• 38:35
  It is per day.
• 38:38
  It is per day, yeah.
• 38:39
  So I used to work security,
• 38:43
  and that's how I first started going,
• 38:44
  and I got a free ticket with that.
• 38:47
  But then there's no way.
• 38:49
  You couldn't pay me enough to go work
• 38:51
  security there now.
• 38:54
  Oh, thank you.
• 38:59
  Forty to fifty-five different price each
• 39:01
  day.
• 39:03
  Still, forty's a lot.
• 39:06
  Yeah,
• 39:07
  you missed our Robert Duvall segment,
• 39:09
  Jay Birch.
• 39:14
  And Jesse Jackson died, too.
• 39:16
  He had to be old as shit, too,
• 39:18
  though.
• 39:18
  He's been around forever.
• 39:19
  And he was, I guess, long-time illness.
• 39:22
  He was old when I was a kid,
• 39:25
  much like Robert Duvall was.
• 39:28
  Amanda,
• 39:28
  we are headed to the Arnold this year.
• 39:32
  Good luck.
• 39:32
  Have fun.
• 39:35
  Scott said I'm across town from it and
• 39:37
  I won't see you.
• 39:39
  All right.
• 39:43
  I've been a couple times for my daughter
• 39:44
  for weightlifting.
• 39:48
  If the events out in the hallway,
• 39:50
  like I enjoy those events.
• 39:52
  But the minute you go into that expo,
• 39:54
  it is not so.
• 39:56
  Yeah, not so.
• 40:00
  No, thanks.
• 40:01
  so let me ask you this how was
• 40:05
  fittest of the coast from an overall
• 40:07
  experience not like event by event or
• 40:10
  anything like that but just like the
• 40:12
  general vibe of the crowd how many people
• 40:14
  were there there were about five thousand
• 40:16
  people there wow according to what i read
• 40:20
  and looking around i can believe it there
• 40:22
  were people everywhere um
• 40:25
  extremely well well run winter village
• 40:28
  wasn't that big but it was it had
• 40:31
  people there that you would recognize you
• 40:33

• 40:39
  supplement company that the panchex used
• 40:41

• 40:45

• 40:46

• 40:57

• 41:01
  i would have chosen for like a little
• 41:03
  mini thing of pb too
• 41:05
  Well, one of my friends,
• 41:07
  dude I was with, Dwayne,
• 41:08
  won a whole bag.
• 41:11
  The lady said,
• 41:12
  that's probably about a six month supply
• 41:14
  of their PB stuff.
• 41:19
  Mr. David Johnson, Mr.
• 41:21
  RX for time right there,
• 41:23
  was standing on the podium at the end
• 41:25
  of his individual.
• 41:26
  So congratulations to him.
• 41:28
  Mr.
• 41:28
  Ortega was in there taking pictures and
• 41:30
  just generally looking like the most
• 41:31
  handsome, uh, Mexican I've ever seen.
• 41:35
  Yeah.
• 41:36
  All of those people.
• 41:38
  Yeah.
• 41:38
  Valor fit was there.
• 41:40
  Barbell engineered nutrition,
• 41:42
  uplift coffee,
• 41:43
  wild South LRX Valor fit and mayhem.
• 41:47
  The, uh,
• 41:49
  The two floors were ginormous.
• 41:54
  People, like I said, dude, everywhere.
• 41:56
  Stands looked like they were set up real
• 41:57
  nice.
• 41:58
  We never actually got into them.
• 41:59
  The warm-up area.
• 42:01
  This was something I thought they did and
• 42:02
  it was super cool.
• 42:04
  You couldn't get into the warm-up area
• 42:05
  until forty-five minutes before your heat.
• 42:09
  And when I say you couldn't get in
• 42:10
  there, it wasn't that, hey,
• 42:11
  please don't come in here forty-five
• 42:12
  minutes before your heat.
• 42:13
  There was a lady at the door stopping
• 42:15
  people.
• 42:16
  Hey, what time do you go?
• 42:19
  I go at this time.
• 42:20
  Well, yeah,
• 42:21
  you can come back in nine minutes just
• 42:24
  to keep from it,
• 42:25
  because especially like us Masters
• 42:27
  athletes do,
• 42:28
  they like go in there and warm up
• 42:29
  for an hour and a half before anybody
• 42:31
  actually goes in there.
• 42:35
  They had a recovery center with,
• 42:39
  I don't want to call them Norma Tech
• 42:40
  Boots because they're not,
• 42:41
  but whatever the name of the boot people
• 42:44
  are in there and they were selling them.
• 42:47
  But you could go in there and get
• 42:48
  recovery for free.
• 42:50
  That was pretty cool.
• 42:53
  It ran on time,
• 42:54
  as far as I could tell,
• 42:56
  which was amazing considering the amount
• 42:58
  of people running through there, teams,
• 43:02
  individuals.
• 43:03
  I mean,
• 43:03
  individuals ran Friday and Saturday,
• 43:06
  and teams ran Saturday afternoon and
• 43:07
  Sunday.
• 43:08
  But still, like,
• 43:09
  they kept the whole thing rolling.
• 43:12
  Judging, from what I could tell,
• 43:14
  was just fine.
• 43:15
  We didn't have any issues on our end
• 43:18
  for sure.
• 43:19
  A couple of people had, you know,
• 43:22
  minor stuff people miscounting dubs and
• 43:24
  like that but not anything that was you
• 43:26
  know wildly out of line um i mean
• 43:32
  you want to nitpick it everybody i talked
• 43:35
  to would like would have liked to have
• 43:36
  another event or two but when you're
• 43:38
  running that many people through there in
• 43:40
  a couple of days it that it gets
• 43:42
  kind of tight but other than that dude
• 43:45
  like
• 43:47
  It was fantastic.
• 43:49
  It really, really was.
• 43:50
  I had an absolute blast.
• 43:52
  I can't say enough good things about it.
• 43:53
  That's the first time I've ever been.
• 43:55
  Yeah,
• 43:56
  Jamie said that if you know the format
• 43:59
  and you're going,
• 44:00
  you might as well do team and indie.
• 44:02
  You can.
• 44:03
  The number of workouts that you won at
• 44:06
  a competition.
• 44:07
  Correct.
• 44:08
  If you just go for one or the
• 44:10
  other, it feels like a light weekend.
• 44:12
  Yeah.
• 44:13
  I mean, I went to go fill in,
• 44:14
  right?
• 44:16
  Fill in for one of my partners on
• 44:18
  the team.
• 44:18
  I literally met my teammate Friday when we
• 44:20
  picked her up from the airport.
• 44:24
  But if I was going to the qualifiers
• 44:26
  this year, yeah, I would probably do that.
• 44:28
  I would probably do individual on Friday
• 44:31
  and Saturday and just switch over to team
• 44:32
  on Saturday and Sunday because it was good
• 44:35
  stuff.
• 44:37
  I would agree with Ortega.
• 44:38
  I don't know about the programming last
• 44:39
  year.
• 44:40
  This year,
• 44:40
  programming was pretty cool for the teams
• 44:44
  anyway.
• 44:45
  I got to use a two-person worm,
• 44:46
  which I've never even seen in person
• 44:48
  before, much less grabbed a hold of.
• 44:50
  That was pretty fun.
• 44:51
  Everything else,
• 44:54
  Nothing felt like I've done comps before
• 44:57
  and you get workouts where like there's a
• 44:59
  movement thrown in there and it feels like
• 45:00
  it was thrown there just to be in
• 45:02
  there.
• 45:03
  Just to have like almost like a
• 45:04
  placeholder type deal.
• 45:06
  And none of this did.
• 45:07
  Like it all felt really well thought out.
• 45:10
  So kudos to whoever programmed it because
• 45:11
  I thought they did a pretty good job.
• 45:14
  What it appeared to from watching online,
• 45:19
  what you could see is it kind of
• 45:21
  looked like a CrossFit family reunion,
• 45:24
  like a good place to go see people
• 45:26
  we haven't seen in a while and in
• 45:29
  an atmosphere where you can hang out and
• 45:30
  have a good time.
• 45:31
  And, you know,
• 45:33
  the pressure isn't too high and you're
• 45:35
  still like enjoying yourself and being
• 45:37
  able to do all that stuff.
• 45:38
  Anna Tobias was in the lane next to
• 45:40
  me.
• 45:42
  Did you kick her ass?
• 45:44
  No.
• 45:47
  No I did not.
• 45:49
  no i did not um she's awesome though
• 45:52
  like oh she is she is fantastic she
• 45:55
  was after the double under box jump over
• 45:59
  to the bar one like they finished before
• 46:02
  we did obviously and like and i was
• 46:05
  struggling on my second set of toes of
• 46:06
  bar and she's sitting there get back up
• 46:08
  on the ball come on let's go just
• 46:10

• 46:12
  and i met her five minutes before that
• 46:14
  in the corral so
• 46:16
  Shout out to the Masters Games champion,
• 46:19
  Games athlete, Olympian,
• 46:22
  Miss Anna Tonecliffe-DeBias.
• 46:25
  Amanda says,
• 46:26
  she will be fit AF for the rest
• 46:28
  of her forever.
• 46:29
  Yeah.
• 46:31
  Like, no question about it, dude.
• 46:32
  It was absolutely...
• 46:34
  Absolutely.
• 46:37
  Birch said, man,
• 46:38
  Dave Hardy was there holding the standard.
• 46:39
  So I talked to Dave this morning,
• 46:41
  he texted, he messaged me and was like,
• 46:43
  man, it's good to see you, whatever.
• 46:44
  And I said,
• 46:44
  did you did you hit anybody with your
• 46:46
  cane?
• 46:47
  because if anybody saw Dave was over there
• 46:49
  doing the head judge thing,
• 46:50
  he's walking around with his cane.
• 46:52
  I don't know if he hurt himself or
• 46:54
  he just had surgery or whatever the case
• 46:56
  may be.
• 46:56
  He had hip surgery.
• 46:57
  Hip surgery.
• 46:58
  Yeah.
• 46:58
  And he said, no,
• 47:01
  I didn't hit anybody with it,
• 47:02
  but I did use it to keep people
• 47:03
  from going out onto the floor early.
• 47:05
  And I was like, I mean,
• 47:06
  that's just as cool.
• 47:08
  You got it.
• 47:08
  You got it.
• 47:09
  You just as soon use it.
• 47:12
  Yeah.
• 47:13
  Um,
• 47:15
  Hopefully when I get to a point where
• 47:17
  I'm independently wealthy and I can just
• 47:19
  travel the world,
• 47:21
  I'd love to hit a lot of these
• 47:22
  comps like this.
• 47:24
  It just looks like a lot of fun
• 47:25
  to hang out with people and talk about
• 47:30
  the sport and everything and hang out and
• 47:33
  just have a good time.
• 47:34
  Dude, so that place is fantastic.
• 47:36
  It is five minutes from the airport.
• 47:39
  It's surrounded by hotels or Airbnb was
• 47:44
  about five and a half minutes from there.
• 47:48
  Uh, it's like, you know,
• 47:49
  so as far as being essentially located,
• 47:51
  there's restaurants right next to it.
• 47:53
  There's hotels.
• 47:55
  The place is huge.
• 47:58
  We didn't even use all of it.
• 47:59
  I don't feel like we did anyway,
• 48:00
  because walking around the building,
• 48:02
  like the places,
• 48:03
  the place is absolutely massive.
• 48:06
  Um,
• 48:08
  The floor in the warmup area may or
• 48:11
  may not have gotten broken.
• 48:16
  We walked in on Sunday and right in
• 48:19
  the middle.
• 48:19
  So the day before that,
• 48:22
  we had the barbell workout.
• 48:23
  So everybody's in there, you know,
• 48:25
  clean jerking, clean jerking,
• 48:26
  clean jerking, dropping barbells,
• 48:27
  obviously.
• 48:28
  You go in the next day and they
• 48:29
  had it right in the middle.
• 48:31
  They had a big old section just kind
• 48:33
  of cordoned off with that stuff that they
• 48:37
  use to cordon stuff off with.
• 48:40
  Not necessarily danger tape or whatever,
• 48:42
  but like blocked off and it looked like
• 48:43
  underneath the
• 48:46
  carpet like the concrete had gotten broken
• 48:48
  i don't think they were quite expecting
• 48:51
  but i mean like the men's weight for
• 48:52
  the the pro teams was for the second
• 48:57
  barbell for the for the team workout right
• 49:00
  so like there's a lot of weight being
• 49:02
  thrown around back there on uh on saturday
• 49:06
  pretty much all the dawn day so ortega
• 49:12
  have you been to columbus at the
• 49:14
  convention center
• 49:16
  That's the question.
• 49:17
  Because you walk outside the convention
• 49:19
  center, you have five hundred restaurants,
• 49:23
  tons of hotels right outside the door.
• 49:27
  I've been to Charleston.
• 49:28
  It's a really nice city.
• 49:29
  I don't know where the competition was in
• 49:31
  conjunction with everything walking wise,
• 49:34
  but like I would put Columbus up against
• 49:36
  anybody where the convention center sits.
• 49:39
  We had a
• 49:42
  We picked up Megan, uh, no,
• 49:46
  what's Megan's last name?
• 49:48
  No, the other Megan,
• 49:49
  the other Canadian Megan, uh, masters, uh,
• 49:55
  anyway, her hotel was walking distance.
• 49:59
  Like she, she literally,
• 50:00
  she walked there every day.
• 50:02
  She's awesome.
• 50:05
  Uh, not that cool.
• 50:07
  Scott Columbus was better.
• 50:09
  Thank you.
• 50:09
  Thank you.
• 50:12
  I just thought it was neat.
• 50:13
  I've never been to Columbus,
• 50:15
  so I don't have anything to compare it
• 50:17
  to.
• 50:19
  We don't have the beach,
• 50:20
  but if you need to eat and you
• 50:22
  need to sleep,
• 50:24
  everything is right there walking
• 50:25
  distance.
• 50:28
  Jay Burch says,
• 50:29
  I just know Scott has the button down
• 50:30
  on today's snazzy.
• 50:32
  I would say jazzy.
• 50:34
  Jazzy, baby.
• 50:35
