0:34

0:38
today we're cooking it up
0:39
cajun so how y'all are dude
0:43

0:46
renderings of you were spot
0:49
on you like that I like
0:52
that a lot yeah start with
0:54
the superhero version and
0:55
just kind of rolling on
0:56
through that was good stuff
0:58
I don't know.
0:59
Did you see today's thumbnail?
1:01
I did.
1:02
I like that, actually.
1:03
Claymation version of you
1:04
and I. I am not mad at the claymation.
1:07
Not at all.
1:07
Yeah.
1:10
So, trained to live,
1:12
or trained... Trained to olive.
1:16
Trained to olive.
1:18
Trained to olive, thirty-two.
1:20
Howdy, y'all.
1:21
He's recovering from a little surgery,
1:22
so I may fall asleep.
1:23
Funny you say that.
1:26
I am flat out exhausted I
1:29
said to Corey I may just
1:30
crawl up on this desk and
1:31
fall asleep and it might be
1:33
our lowest rated show ever
1:35
of Corey just trying to
1:36
wake me up for fifteen
1:37
minutes see myself just
1:40
being like dude dude just
1:44
over and over again be terrible
1:47
So I was telling Corey,
1:50
I've mentioned on the show,
1:51
my allergies are on fire right now.
1:55
You look in my backyard and
1:56
there are clumps of cottonwood.
1:58
It looks like it snowed.
2:00
We're not getting enough
2:01
hard rain to wash it away.
2:04
And my inhaler broke last night.
2:08
So I've been in a scramble
2:09
since then to get a new
2:11
inhaler so that I can breathe.
2:15
Breathing is important.
2:16
People have it underrated as a thing,
2:18
if I'm being completely honest here.
2:20
It helps you sleep, I found.
2:23
One thousand percent.
2:24
Or if you don't breathe,
2:25
you sleep real heavy.
2:26
Yeah,
2:29
like as heavy as you're ever going to.
2:30
Yes.
2:35
We got James W. Alito, Meredith, Judy,
2:38
Jody, everybody in the chat today.
2:42
so everybody's here um we
2:44
got some stuff to talk
2:45
about uh I gotta throw a
2:48
dart I'm about tired of
2:51
missing all the time
2:53
yesterday I went ready fire
2:55
aim I think I'm just gonna
2:57
go blind today I actually
3:00
hit the dartboard without
3:01
looking which I would never
3:03
today I would never if I
3:05
threw it out looking it
3:06
probably wouldn't even
3:07
stick to the wall would
3:08
probably just bounce right off
3:10
I did not hit any scoring,
3:12
but I went dead like nine
3:14
o'clock and hit the number
3:17
outside the scoring area.
3:19
But there we go.
3:22
Dart done.
3:24
Last week, we talked about a garden pad.
3:26
Yep, we sure did.
3:29
Got a lot of DMs saying that
3:32
you should be punished to
3:33
the full extent of the law.
3:38
Put me in jail.
3:40
I never said I shouldn't, by the way.
3:43
I'd like to make that clear right now.
3:45
I thought the two minutes
3:46
and two seconds that they
3:47
had initially assessed was a bit much.
3:50
And then I found out that
3:51
that was not actually the case.
3:52
That was a typo.
3:53
Yeah, well.
3:58
Just telling you, you know these like,
4:00
you know, ever since Hiller's out, man,
4:02
everybody wants everybody
4:03
punished to the letter of the law,
4:05
and they were coming after you last week.
4:07
That's all right.
4:08
That's all right.
4:08
Hey, all right.
4:09
I can take it.
4:11
But we need an update from
4:12
you because after all that went down,
4:14
you still finished in the
4:16
top twenty of the qualifier,
4:19
meaning by rule book.
4:23
You should have gotten an
4:24
invite to compete in the
4:26
elite division of the
4:28
Masters Fitness Championships.
4:31
Have you gotten that invite?
4:33
Yeah, you would have thought so.
4:35
You would have thought so, but no,
4:36
I have not.
4:38
No, I have not.
4:39
As a matter of fact,
4:41
do I live near Shreveport?
4:42
God, no.
4:43
Ken, I am five hours away from Shreveport.
4:49
Okay.
4:50
Not only did I not get an
4:52
invite on Friday of last week,
4:55
I talked to a couple
4:56
different people that got
4:57
theirs that are in my age group,
4:59
that are in my division,
5:00
that are in the league.
5:01
And so I asked a buddy of mine, I was like,
5:05
hey man,
5:06
when approximately did you get yours?
5:08
And he was like, uh,
5:09
ten thirty this morning, ten fifty,
5:10
whatever it was.
5:11
He's on your time schedule,
5:12
so nine thirty my time.
5:14
And I was like, hmm, that's interesting.
5:16
So I went back and looked
5:18
through every single version on my phone,
5:21
like looking through my Gmail, like, hey,
5:24
let me check my spam folder,
5:25
check my deleted, check my, you know,
5:27
if you got an iPhone,
5:28
it separates it into like
5:30
all these different things now.
5:32
Nothing whatsoever.
5:33
So Friday afternoon,
5:35
I messaged MFC's Instagram
5:39
account and just said,
5:42
hey,
5:42
have all the elite invites gone out yet?
5:45
And I got left on read.
5:50
So there's that.
5:52
So I just let that roll
5:53
because I'm not real good at... Now,
6:01
you had been messaging them
6:03
through what means about the penalty.
6:06
I had emailed scoring about that on...
6:11
whoever's on the end,
6:12
the one of three people
6:13
that they said was gonna be
6:14
on the other end of the
6:16
Instagram account.
6:18
So that was me emailing back
6:19
and forth with whoever got the first one.
6:21
And then with Sue Burton was
6:24
the last person I was
6:25
talking to us for it.
6:26
And that was from scoring.
6:28
Um,
6:29
but I figured I messaged the Instagram
6:31
account because, uh, Chris had put out a,
6:35
uh, Chris Martinez Martinez.
6:38
I put out a, there's a real on Instagram.
6:41
He put it out like a couple
6:43
of weeks ago saying that, Hey,
6:44
we were wrapping up old
6:45
scoring stuff or whatever,
6:47
many questions.
6:48
And you message the Instagram account.
6:51
One of three people is going to answer.
6:55
And it was him and two other people.
6:57
I don't remember what the
6:58
other two people's name was.
6:59
And I've had success messaging them before,
7:05
can't even hardly talk.
7:07
So I figured I just,
7:09
seems to be the easiest way to do it,
7:11
whatever.
7:12
And then yesterday,
7:17
I went ahead and hit it up
7:18
again and saying, hey,
7:20
I'm just asking because
7:22
Top twenty get invited.
7:24
I finished in nineteen.
7:27
And I haven't gotten I
7:28
haven't gotten an invite yet,
7:30
and so far I have not
7:32
gotten any response back from that.
7:35
Which is super awesome, by the way.
7:44
Ken Walters asked if you're in Shreveport,
7:46
home of Terry Bradshaw,
7:47
asked because it's being
7:48
Cajun lunch hour.
7:49
My favorite restaurant there
7:51
is Herbie K's and in NOLA, GW Finn's.
7:59
There's four million
7:59
restaurants in New Orleans.
8:01
I mean, between New Orleans, Canada,
8:05
all the places.
8:08
My favorite place in New
8:09
Orleans is the Gumbo Shop.
8:13
Like Owen Bourbon?
8:15
No, it's... Well, it's a side street.
8:18
Like the cross street.
8:20
Between it and Jackson.
8:23
Right down towards the square.
8:24
Yeah.
8:26
I know where it's at.
8:29
Roughly.
8:30
I don't go down there if I can help it.
8:31
I'm not a big fan of big crowds.
8:35
There's always a billion
8:36
people in the quarter.
8:37
Younger me loved it down there.
8:39
Oh, yeah.
8:40
No.
8:40
Twenty-year-old me was a big fan.
8:43
but not so much anymore.
8:46
Forty-eight-year-old me is
8:47
not a... Andrew Stenson's
8:49
gumbo shop is awesome.
8:53
If I want to find gumbo,
8:54
I either go get it from my
8:55
dad or I make it myself.
8:58
I like their po'boys there,
8:59
to be honest with you.
9:00
It's not the gumbo because
9:02
I'm allergic to shrimp and crawfish,
9:05
and that's the best kind of gumbo to get,
9:07
and anything else just pales.
9:13
I would have died a long
9:14
time ago if I was allergic
9:16
to crawfish and or shrimp,
9:18
like probably when I was a child.
9:21
Yeah.
9:24
But any but anyway, at any rate,
9:27
we can talk about food all day.
9:28
Yes.
9:31
So.
9:33
Again,
9:33
your goal is to make the CrossFit
9:35
Games when you hit fifty.
9:37
This is just another step in
9:38
trying to move up through
9:40
the ranks to get some testing done,
9:42
to see where you stand,
9:44
all of that stuff.
9:45
You technically have met the
9:46
requirements to be in the elite division.
9:51
Now,
9:52
there is rumors they were inviting
9:53
people in.
9:55
So what Chris said on the,
9:59
and I'm paraphrasing here
10:00
because my memory obviously
10:01
is not perfect,
10:02
but he did say they were
10:03
going to be inviting the
10:05
winner from last year in each division.
10:08
Good Lord, Scott.
10:11
We had finished saying this before.
10:14
Scott goes back into a field
10:15
from coughing.
10:15
Jesus Christ, can we not?
10:19
They were going to be
10:19
inviting the winners from
10:20
last year to come back and
10:22
defend their title, which I am all for,
10:24
a hundred percent.
10:25
You won last year and they
10:26
want to invite you.
10:27
That is fantastic.
10:29
They also said that top
10:30
twenty were going to elite
10:31
and the next twenty were
10:32
going to be in RX.
10:34
So I look at that,
10:36
you can look at that two different ways.
10:37
You can say that top twenty
10:39
is going to be invited plus
10:41
whoever won last year.
10:44
So you actually have
10:44
twenty-one people in the heat.
10:46
No big deal.
10:48
Or
10:49
The bottom person is going
10:50
to get knocked out of elite and in the,
10:53
cause you're inviting the,
10:55
which I think is kind of
10:56
disingenuous if that ends
10:58
up being the case, because you're also,
11:02
cause you, you know what I'm saying?
11:03
You're saying two,
11:04
two different things at once,
11:05
as far as that goes, um,
11:08
clarification on that team
11:10
plus one is still.
11:11
And yeah,
11:12
that was gonna be my next thing
11:14
is that even if that's the case,
11:15
the plus one is still and I was in.
11:18
And I haven't got anything back.
11:19
And there's always someone who declines.
11:22
More than one.
11:23
Right now.
11:24
So the only reason I even
11:26
ended up messaging them
11:29
again yesterday is my buddy
11:31
Dwayne texted me and said, hey, man,
11:34
are you going to MFC?
11:35
Because he and a friend of
11:36
his is going team and
11:37
wanted to know if he was
11:38
going to be able to hang
11:38
out while he's up there.
11:39
And I said, well,
11:42
it's funny you should ask.
11:44
This was yesterday morning.
11:46
And I said,
11:49
I asked him why, whatever.
11:51
However, we got back around.
11:51
He said, well,
11:52
I don't see your name on the leaderboard.
11:54
And I was like,
11:55
that's weird because I
11:56
couldn't even find the leaderboard.
11:58
I thought he was still
11:58
talking about the qualifier leaderboard.
12:03
He was talking about the
12:06
present leaderboard,
12:07
which is going to be for
12:08
the actual competition itself.
12:09
So apparently you can see
12:10
who's already registered.
12:11
There's only thirteen people
12:12
registered as of right now
12:15
or as of yesterday when I looked at it.
12:17
I have no idea what the
12:18
number is right now.
12:20
um so that's really the only
12:23
reason and I said dude
12:25
honestly at this point I'm
12:26
over it like I got monster
12:28
games coming up next month
12:30
I got uh legends qualifiers
12:32
stored at the beginning of
12:33
the month I said I don't
12:35
have enough time and energy
12:36
to put into this like to be
12:37
what to be this worried
12:38
about it like it's I'm just
12:39
not uh and he said uh hey
12:44
bro earned is earned
12:46
He said, at the very least,
12:48
you should get an invite,
12:49
even if you turn it down
12:50
for whatever reason.
12:52
You put in the work.
12:55
Albeit,
12:56
despite my best efforts of trying
12:57
to eliminate myself from elite division,
13:02
earned is earned,
13:03
and you should get your invite.
13:04
And I was like, well, that's a fair point.
13:06
That's the only reason why I
13:07
ended up messaging them again yesterday.
13:15
And had I thought about it,
13:17
and I still may today at this point,
13:20
is just go ahead and email
13:22
the only other contact I have,
13:24
which is scoring, to see, hey,
13:27
and just say, hey, look,
13:28
I'm not trying to be that guy,
13:30
but ninth place,
13:32
I thought I would be getting an invite.
13:35
And if not, that's cool,
13:38
but I'd like to know why.
13:40
It's really all there is to it.
13:43
And you want to make plans.
13:45
Absolutely, dude.
13:46
Absolutely.
13:47
One way or the other.
13:48
One way or the other.
13:49
Give me an opportunity to
13:50
make up my mind if I'm going or not.
13:53
The frustrating thing with
13:55
media credentials and CrossFit saying,
13:57
we figured ten days was enough notice.
14:00
You know.
14:02
No.
14:03
No, it's not.
14:07
No, it's not.
14:08
No, it's not.
14:10
yeah well hopefully it all
14:11
gets resolved and you end
14:13
up getting up there because
14:14
I know there's going to be
14:15
a big group of people up
14:16
there uh from our show and
14:20
because it is just about a
14:21
two and a half hour drive
14:22
up there for me and for
14:24
jamie it's like the same
14:26
down from michigan for her
14:28
and uh we'll have a good
14:30
time dan church is going uh
14:36
Jamie, I got buddies of mine that's going,
14:39
people that I competed with
14:41
in RX the last time I was
14:42
there is now in Elite.
14:44
I mean,
14:44
I'm going to know a lot of people
14:47
there one way or another,
14:48
whether I go or not.
14:50
So it would be nice, like I said,
14:53
to at least have myself,
14:54
give myself the opportunity
14:56
to see if I'm going or not.
14:58
Taylor's Toilet.
14:59
What comp are we talking about?
15:00
We are talking about the MFC,
15:02
Masters Fitness Championship.
15:04
So there we go.
15:07
Corey's trying to get into
15:08
the elite division.
15:09
He qualified but didn't get an invite,
15:11
and so we're trying to
15:11
figure out what happened there.
15:15
So not a lot going on this
15:17
week in the CrossFit space,
15:18
but I do have a few
15:20
hard-hitting questions, not really,
15:22
for you for us to talk about.
15:27
So here's my first, you know,
15:29
on Sunday night,
15:29
we call it Factor Fiction.
15:30
We'll call it that here.
15:33
I'm going to throw something at you,
15:34
and you're going to tell me
15:35
if it's Factor Fiction and why.
15:39
Let's go.
15:39
Factor Fiction,
15:41
Boys Interrupted is the
15:43
best athlete podcast ever.
15:45
Oh, yeah.
15:47
That's fact.
15:48
Hard facts.
15:50
Hard facts.
15:52
And look.
15:54
disrespect to anybody else
15:55
athletes that are putting
15:56
them putting out but those
15:58
guys actually have fun in
15:59
or are entertaining period
16:03
it's not boring it's not
16:04
the same old stuff they
16:05
talk about whatever they
16:06
feel like talking about
16:07
they've had dave castro
16:08
along for christ's sake and
16:10
everybody was still
16:11
laughing and cutting out no
16:12
that's easy that's an easy
16:13
fact I watched the jack
16:16
farlow episode last night
16:19
love Jack Farlow.
16:19
I've had him on the show twice.
16:21
He is, um, he is as smart as smart can be.
16:29
And he is way too smart for
16:31
the other three.
16:32
And that's what made it really funny.
16:36
Um, and it was, it was great.
16:38
And what I love about it is
16:40
they're not afraid to make
16:41
fun of themselves, but let's be honest.
16:44
How many athletes have
16:45
survived five episodes of a
16:47
podcast they've put together?
16:49
Not many.
16:51
People think putting
16:52
together a podcast is super simple.
16:54
It is not.
16:55
There's a lot of work that
16:56
goes into getting everything set up,
16:58
getting thumbnails made,
17:00
getting all the stuff put together,
17:01
scheduling guests, all that stuff.
17:04
And they are pounding the pavement, man.
17:07
I know how much trouble, not trouble,
17:10
but how much you put into
17:12
just getting people
17:13
scheduled at an appropriate
17:14
time for them and for you.
17:18
Because you've told me before, like,
17:19
it's insane.
17:22
And you mean best in CrossFit space,
17:23
not all sports?
17:24
Yes.
17:24
Yeah, obviously.
17:29
There's only one other
17:30
athlete that competes.
17:33
And I think you could make
17:34
an argument that that one
17:35
is better than this.
17:38
And that is Rich Froning.
17:42
hundred percent and I've
17:43
watched rich's podcast I'm
17:46
not up to up on it nowadays
17:48
if there's an episode that
17:49
comes out that I want to
17:50
check out because they're
17:51
talking about something
17:52
cool but like when it was
17:54
froning and friends a
17:56
couple years ago that was
17:58
good that was actually
17:59
really good matter of fact
18:01
when I met him I enjoy the
18:02
new version better
18:04
Oh, yeah, I do as well.
18:05
But it's just funny.
18:07
The one time I actually met
18:09
him when he came speak at
18:11
the church over here by my house,
18:13
I was like, man,
18:14
I listen to the Fronting
18:14
and Friends podcast like every week.
18:16
And he goes, I am so sorry.
18:21
And he said, it's so bad.
18:22
And I was like, it's really, really not.
18:24
I said, it's fun, dude.
18:25
Like, it really is.
18:26
And it's evolved.
18:28
And I think it's, yeah,
18:29
it's way better than the new version,
18:32
whatever you want to call it,
18:34
is one hundred percent
18:34
better than it was before.
18:36
Well, Rory is just a pro.
18:39
One at kind of keeping
18:40
everything rolling in the
18:41
right direction.
18:42
I think the Froning and
18:43
Friends kind of went off
18:46
the rails way more than the new version.
18:50
Angelo is a goldmine that
18:53
nobody knew we had until
18:55
the last few months.
18:58
Angelo has a career ahead of him.
19:01
and um and by the sounds of
19:04
today's for a froning
19:06
podcast he is doing
19:08
something more with mayhem
19:11
now he is signing a
19:12
contract with mayhem to do
19:14
something else um but they
19:16
did not go into detail on
19:17
what that is I like it
19:21
because they just they talk
19:24
like dudes like you said
19:26
rory's kind of keep there
19:27
to keep somewhat organized
19:28
and ortega's right like
19:32
Scott is not afraid to stand
19:34
up and tell him hey and
19:37
keep them there's something
19:40
in the name he's the guy
19:41
that keeps track of
19:43
everything going on in the
19:44
space and explains
19:46
everything to them when
19:47
they don't know what's going on
19:50
he's the one that had to
19:51
tell them that you do want
19:52
them that had broken down
19:54
the scoring system for WFP or the,
19:56
the payout rather better
19:58
than anybody else.
19:59
And he's like, no, no, no.
19:59
Scott said this.
20:00
And they were like, Oh, all right.
20:02
Yeah.
20:02
That makes sense.
20:02
Yeah.
20:05
So like, I love that one.
20:06
I think those are the two,
20:08
probably the only ones that
20:10
ever lasted more than let's say,
20:13
let's say, let's say, let's say,
20:14
let's say, let's say, let's say,
20:15
let's say, let's say, let's say,
20:16
let's say, let's say, let's say,
20:16
let's say, let's say, let's say,
20:17
let's say, let's say, let's say,
20:18
let's say, let's say, let's say,
20:19
let's say, let's say,
20:20
but it didn't last past what?
20:21
Fifteen episodes?
20:23
The Daughters didn't go past three.
20:26
Emma Lawson's didn't go past five.
20:28
Well, I think they see it.
20:32
They start, you know, and think, oh,
20:34
it looks so easy and whatnot, you know,
20:36
and figure they can tackle
20:37
all these things like
20:38
competing at the games and
20:39
making it there and whatnot.
20:40
And I'm just going to put together a show.
20:43
You realize how much work it is.
20:45
And then you start and you see like,
20:47
you know,
20:47
you get through three episodes
20:49
or whatnot and you have so
20:50
little engagement and then
20:51
it just kind of, you know,
20:53
deflates from there.
20:54
Oh, well, this is not as easy.
20:55
I thought it wasn't just not doing it.
20:58
Just to give you an idea,
20:59
like to get Hattie on the show this week.
21:03
So I text her last week.
21:05
It was three days of back
21:07
and forth to get a time.
21:11
Then once you get the time,
21:12
then you've got to set it all up.
21:14
got to do a little bit of
21:15
advertisement and if you're
21:16
going to do it right you
21:17
got to cut some reels from
21:18
it and play get those out
21:19
which I still have to do
21:21
like it's a lot of work to
21:24
for that one hour show
21:26
front and back it is just
21:28
you and hey like you don't
21:30
have anybody else to say
21:32
hey you know I'm bringing
21:34
this up you know we're
21:35
talking about this let me
21:36
bring up this clip of this
21:37
blah blah whatever it's
21:38
literally just you and her
21:39
having a conversation you
21:40
know you don't have a caleb
21:43
Right.
21:44
And I'm the one that does
21:45
all the research going in.
21:46
You don't have a Sousa.
21:49
You don't have all that stuff.
21:52
You have a job.
21:54
Well,
21:54
I think that's... And some of the
21:55
athletes have people that
21:56
are willing to do the
21:57
behind-the-scenes stuff,
21:58
and they still can't get
21:59
past three episodes.
22:03
Right.
22:03
So, kudos.
22:04
I did not see this boys
22:06
interrupted going past five episodes.
22:09
And they're at, like, twenty-three.
22:10
Good for them.
22:12
They're almost at a half a year.
22:15
Yeah.
22:15
And they started what, right?
22:16
Three weeks before Waterpalooza.
22:18
Is that right?
22:20
Yeah.
22:21
That sounds right.
22:21
They did one on each channel
22:23
and then they did one
22:24
together at Waterpalooza.
22:29
And then you go from there.
22:31
So, so yeah,
22:34
almost at a half year for them,
22:36
which makes sense for them
22:37
to combine the three because it works.
22:42
And I, you know, I'm a,
22:45
they make me smile.
22:48
I don't know what it is.
22:49
Like, I just, I listened to that.
22:50
I laugh, I smile.
22:52
I'm in a good mood.
22:53
I like the interaction.
22:54
They,
22:54
they dog on each other and they're
22:56
willing to accept that.
23:00
Yeah.
23:02
Good stuff.
23:02
Yeah.
23:08
Ortega has done videos for
23:09
me and for Scott and it's
23:11
still a lot of work.
23:15
I can just say Scott and it
23:16
just means both things.
23:17
Yeah.
23:19
Ken Walter Scott has a small team.
23:21
It's really small.
23:22
It's one person.
23:27
Although I do have to give like
23:30
Carolyn and Jamie are very participant.
23:34
We have like a place where
23:36
everything goes that they
23:37
have thoughts of on the week.
23:39
And then I just compile it into a piece,
23:42
a rundown for the Sunday show.
23:44
But everybody contributes to that.
23:46
It's effective though, right?
23:48
It works.
23:50
Whatever works, dude.
23:52
I am a big,
23:53
huge proponent of just that way
23:56
of doing stuff.
23:57
Whatever works.
23:58
That's how it works?
23:59
Fantastic.
23:59
Let's do it like that.
24:02
This is obviously still working.
24:03
Cool.
24:03
Don't change it.
24:04
It's not broken?
24:05
Good.
24:06
Don't fix it.
24:06
Love that.
24:11
Judy, oh, I remember... Yeah, that.
24:15
And then she remembers Ellie.
24:18
Yeah, um...
24:20
Jack is getting a degree in
24:21
biomedical engineering.
24:23
He's no dummy.
24:24
Wow.
24:25
And if you didn't see it, Corey,
24:28
he wants to work for
24:29
wearables and learn the
24:31
science behind wearables
24:32
and get them better.
24:34
And they went on about
24:35
Garmin for... Fifteen minutes.
24:39
Garmin should have sponsored
24:40
the podcast this week.
24:45
Maybe they can be ours
24:46
because this is my Father's Day present.
24:49
I got my Garmin.
24:52
See if we can get them to, uh,
24:54
to sponsor us.
24:55
That's what I got from my father's thing.
24:57
I needed something track
24:59
cause I'm about to start
25:00
running a whole lot more actually,
25:01
probably this week.
25:03
I need something to track with.
25:04
So I've been wanting one and
25:06
I want something that does
25:08
heart rate and I can swim
25:09
with and all this other good stuff.
25:11
So I got me.
25:15
Yeah.
25:15
Mine's getting old.
25:16
I need, I probably need an update.
25:20
I love it dude I'm obsessed
25:22
at this point like jennifer
25:22
gave it to me friday night
25:28
yeah I think that's right
25:30
yeah friday and uh I love
25:34
stuff like that like
25:36
looking at all the tracking
25:38
and all the other good
25:38
stuff but it works dude
25:41
like and I like it like and
25:43
it does everything I wanted
25:44
to do and nothing I don't
25:47
take a once a new garment
25:49
mine is still good but
25:50
garmin is so good it's easy
25:53
to use dude and like once
25:55
you fit once I figured out
25:56
what everything does uh
26:02
it's which took a day you
26:06
know for setting up
26:07
shortcuts and like I want
26:08
to get to this workout to
26:09
do that blah blah whatever
26:10
or whatnot it's the easiest
26:12
thing in the world to use I'm a huge fan
26:16
If you have not seen the episode,
26:18
Jack goes into all the
26:19
details of all the little
26:20
things in there and Jason Hopper is like,
26:25
it does that?
26:31
God bless Jason Hopper.
26:33
But you'll love it because
26:34
Jason Hopper wants Jack to
26:35
invent something and Jason
26:37
just wants to be the salesman.
26:38
And they'll go into business together.
26:41
He's going to have to...
26:44
undye his hair before you can do that.
26:46
Cause there's no way that is
26:48
a requirement.
26:49
Oh, good for him.
26:54
That's a smart move because
26:55
there's no way I can't take
26:56
him seriously.
26:57
Every time I see it,
26:58
like if he pops up on my Instagram feed,
26:59
I'm like, what is that?
27:04
Jason is the comic relief in that episode.
27:06
He's the comic relief in most episodes.
27:08
He is really okay with dog and himself.
27:12
And I,
27:14
and I I've actually become a
27:15
big fan I big fan yeah I'm
27:20
good dude I because I do it
27:24
I do it myself I I guess I
27:26
am a huge fan of people who
27:27
do not take themselves so
27:28
seriously like yeah last
27:31
night he talked about he
27:32
bought a lawnmower riding
27:34
lawnmower and he's even
27:36
riding it when the grass
27:37
doesn't need mode because
27:38
it's so much fun
27:41
Dude, who doesn't love riding lawnmower?
27:43
Find me a dude who does not
27:44
love riding lawnmower.
27:45
You can't.
27:47
You can't.
27:48
Scott, I live in a neighborhood,
27:49
like a pre-planned subdivision type deal,
27:51
and there's guys with zero
27:52
turns that live in my... It
27:54
takes me an hour and a half,
27:57
maybe an hour and
27:58
forty-five minutes to weed
28:00
the edge and cut my grass
28:01
with a push lawnmower.
28:03
And I was riding my bike
28:05
Saturday afternoon,
28:06
and I saw a dude on a zero
28:07
turn that lives like a
28:09
block and a half away from
28:11
Yeah, mine, I can mow my grass,
28:14
no trimming.
28:15
I can mow it in probably
28:17
twenty-five minutes.
28:19
Yeah.
28:19
And there's people with
28:20
riding mowers in my neighborhood.
28:24
Because it's a fun time.
28:25
Yeah.
28:30
It is a fun time, dude.
28:31
Get on that thing and ride.
28:33
Why wouldn't you?
28:36
Riding lawnmowers are great
28:38
unless you're dealing with cicadas,
28:39
being attracted to it while
28:41
you're riding.
28:42
Cicadas are just awful.
28:46
And we are not in the cicada
28:48
hatching area.
28:50
Cincinnati must be this year.
28:55
You don't know what a cicada is, do you?
28:57
I know what grasshoppers are.
28:59
That's about as far as I can get.
29:00
These are evil grasshoppers.
29:02
They have red eyes.
29:04
They go on the ground and
29:06
they burrow for seventeen years.
29:08
Then they hatch and they
29:09
come out once every seventeen years.
29:13
They are awful.
29:15
They're loud.
29:17
There's so many of them.
29:18
They're loud.
29:21
It's crazy.
29:23
We get...
29:26
We get swarms of termites
29:28
down in South Louisiana to
29:30
the point where at night,
29:31
if they're by a streetlight,
29:32
they'll block out the light,
29:34
which is a lot of fun.
29:36
It's exciting.
29:37
Seventeen-year brood right now.
29:39
You'll get them eventually, Scott.
29:40
We actually had them a couple years ago,
29:42
Andrew.
29:44
So I think we're done for a while.
29:47
We got about fourteen years to go.
29:53
So, yeah.
29:54
You ready for your next question?
29:56
Hit me with it.
30:00
Factor fiction.
30:03
You currently miss some of
30:04
the athletes that sat out
30:05
the CrossFit Games season.
30:07
Fiction.
30:11
Fiction.
30:12

30:13

There's five people behind you.
30:28
There's ten people behind you.
30:29
There's twenty people behind
30:30
you ready to step up with their own story,
30:33
who are still hungry and
30:36
ready to rock and roll.
30:39
Tega,
30:40
Fort Polk is probably three and a
30:44
half hours north of me.
30:47
Not anywhere down here.
30:49
I don't doubt that they had them.
30:50
That doesn't surprise me,
30:51
but I don't ever remember
30:53
having to deal with cicadas
30:54
when I was growing up or anytime soon.
30:59
this one fast agreed I don't
31:02
even miss Horvath or Valner
31:03
I do miss Gabby though but
31:05
Gabby didn't sit out
31:06
Gabby's just hurt she's
31:07
just hurt that's different
31:09
the person I miss is Emily,
31:10
Emily Rolfe but she's hurt
31:13
it's not that she's sitting
31:14
out I think like the few
31:17
people I miss are you know
31:22
and then the people that
31:23
just didn't make it like I
31:24
hate that Carolyn didn't make it
31:28
I hate that,
31:29
but it's not because she sat out.
31:32
No,
31:32
she actively participated and was doing
31:34
everything that she could
31:35
do to try to make it.
31:38
God bless her.
31:38
I understand what she was
31:39
talking about as far as being mentally,
31:42
physically felt fine,
31:44
but mentally was just not
31:45
in the game to try to do
31:47
the last chance qualifier.
31:49
It's a real thing, dude.
31:51
Physically, I feel fine,
31:52
but I just do not have the
31:53
mental energy to drag
31:54
myself through these freaking qualifiers.
31:58
When I talked about yesterday,
31:59
WFP did the feature with
32:00
Vellner and I was bored.
32:04
I was just bored.
32:05
And when you have a Danielle
32:07
Brandon in your content and it's boring,
32:10
you've messed up somewhere.
32:11
Yeah, absolutely.
32:15
She's always got something to say.
32:16
She's always got some sort of attitude,
32:18
whether it be good or bad.
32:22
Yup.
32:22
Just move on with those there.
32:24
Just like any other sport.
32:25
I agree.
32:27
I'm really surprised how little... Now,
32:30
I think when we get to the
32:31
games and the people that are there,
32:33
are we going to have a good
32:34
fight to the end?
32:36
I think that's going to matter,
32:38
whether the games are enjoyable or not.
32:40
And we may ask that question then,
32:42
and maybe it's a little bit different.
32:44
But right now, man,
32:44
I haven't missed anybody.
32:48
It's a wait-and-see thing for me, right?
32:50
And I think as games fans, we got...
32:57
yeah when him in and
33:00
fukowski and whoever else
33:01
were like doing open um
33:05
punishments whatever like
33:07
you know if I beat you in
33:07
open this week and whatnot
33:08
you gotta whatever like
33:10
that stuff was cool but
33:12
it's falling into the same
33:13
stale category like we
33:14
talked about last time
33:15
where you know god bless
33:17
the brother buttery bros
33:19
but you know what you're
33:21
getting if you sign on to
33:22
one of those videos it's
33:23
the same type deal
33:25
And then Craig,
33:26
I wish Paige from Misfit made it.
33:29
Yeah, she didn't sit out the season.
33:31
I think her body's just beat up.
33:33
She's been struggling
33:34
through back injuries for a couple years.
33:36
And, you know,
33:37
it takes a lot for her to get ready.
33:40
And maybe people are
33:42
realizing that the two
33:43
seasons being so close
33:45
together in that one little
33:46
stretch was too much.
33:48
Yeah.
33:50
Tour stop one and the
33:51
semifinals all in the same
33:53
block was just too much.
33:56
It's a lot.
33:57
And God bless them for trying.
33:58
And, you know, hey,
33:59
I want more opportunities to compete.
34:01
Well,
34:01
now you got more opportunities to
34:02
compete.
34:02
But that comes with you also
34:04
still need your body needs
34:05
time to recover.
34:06
I mean, period.
34:07
What they do at that high of a level,
34:10
it takes an insane toll on the body.
34:13
Anybody who's come back,
34:14
I know several games,
34:16
athletes and semifinal types,
34:18
and they come back and for
34:20
like a week and a half, two weeks,
34:21
they don't do nothing.
34:23
And I mean, nothing.
34:27
Lita,
34:27
once we learn new people's stories better,
34:30
we'll miss them even less.
34:33
Getting to talk to Reese Littlewood,
34:35
I'm a huge fan of Reese Littlewood now.
34:38
She didn't even make the games,
34:39
but getting to know her story, dude,
34:44
I'm all in for the next batch.
34:49
Is Mal O'Brien going to be a
34:50
topic of discussion anymore
34:52
after the season?
34:53
She's not been on my lips for a year.
34:56
And you know what?
34:57
God bless her.
34:57
Last time I saw her,
34:59
she was working in Hawaii
35:00
at a coffee shop.
35:02
Good for her.
35:03
And she seemed happy.
35:06
Two thumbs up.
35:07
Two thumbs up.
35:08
Good for her.
35:09
She got her head right.
35:10
She got her head in the game.
35:14
Couldn't be happier for her.
35:15
Good for her.
35:16
Happy about it.
35:17
I think we got...
35:20
I don't even want to say spoiled,
35:21
because that's not right.
35:22
But we got so accustomed to
35:25
the same people being there
35:26
over and over again.
35:29
Matt wins for five years in a row.
35:31
Tia wins for seven years in a row.
35:33
The same three or four
35:34
people get sprinkled around
35:36
the podium over and over
35:37
and over and over again.
35:39
And I know what all these people,
35:41
I know what they're good at.
35:41
So you're rooting, or I have been anyway,
35:45
For, I don't even want to say the underdog,
35:47
but some of the lesser
35:48
known people to do well
35:50
because I want to see them
35:51
do well because I want to
35:53
know more about them,
35:54
whatever the case may be.
35:56
And when the same, you know,
35:59
and I'm going to get flack
36:00
probably Friday.
36:04
I don't like seeing the same
36:05
people win the Super Bowl every year.
36:07
or even getting there.
36:08
And that includes my own team.
36:09
Like I don't want the saints
36:10
to win four years, five years in a row.
36:12
It'd be awesome if they did,
36:13
but it's going to get
36:14
boring after a while
36:16
watching that being part of
36:18
a winning team.
36:19
That's a whole different app
36:20
that doesn't get over.
36:21
Watching across the games
36:23
where Ricky and Roman and
36:25
Jeff were fighting for that
36:28
final podium spot to be
36:30
number one was way better
36:32
than watching Matt dominate.
36:34
than watching Matt have it
36:36
sewed up before Sunday.
36:40
At least you're on the women's side.
36:42
If Tia doesn't go, it could be anybody.
36:48
If Tia does not show up,
36:51
that's going to be the,
36:53
not to say the men's side
36:54
is not going to be fun,
36:55
but the women's side is
36:56
going to be so fun because name somebody.
37:00
Well, on the men's side,
37:01
it could be one of ten.
37:03
It could be,
37:04
but there's no – you look at
37:07
the men's side,
37:07
people are going to say
37:08
Jeffrey Adler or are going
37:10
to say – have their picks for like, no,
37:13
I want to see this dude.
37:15
I defy you to look at the
37:16
women's side without Tia
37:18
and say she's going to win.
37:21
Well,
37:21
you're going to have people pick still.
37:23
They're going to pick.
37:25
If you ask what their
37:26
confidence level was in that pick,
37:28
it's going to be fairly low
37:31
compared to the men's side.
37:32
Men's side, you're going to have Roman,
37:33
Jeff.
37:34
You're going to have Ricky, people still.
37:36
You're going to have Dallin, Jason, James,
37:42
Austin.
37:44
Like there's a lot on the men's side,
37:47
but there,
37:48
but people definitely have
37:49
favorites on the men's side.
37:50
Like,
37:51
I think that people are going to say
37:53
Jeff Adler and my confidence level,
37:54
seventy five percent on the women's side.
37:57
People can say Ariel Owen
37:59
and it's thirty two percent.
38:00
Yeah, I like her.
38:02
So I wanted to win.
38:04
Right.
38:06
You know,
38:06
Alex Kazan would be a phenomenal story.
38:08
Fractures her leg, comes back,
38:10
wins the games.
38:11
Holy crap.
38:12
That would be amazing.
38:14
But how confident are you?
38:16
Oh, and that happened.
38:17
Oh, uh,
38:19
twenty seven to thirty three
38:20
percent somewhere up in that area.
38:22
Yeah.
38:24
It without Tia.
38:25
And I hate to even say that.
38:30
Here's a question.
38:30
Do we even do we miss Emma Lawson?
38:32
No,
38:32
I haven't even thought about her this
38:35
season.
38:35
Have not have has not
38:37
crossed my mind one time.
38:39
And it's not a dig on her.
38:40
No, it's not at all.
38:42
I've enjoyed the season thus
38:43
far that we got,
38:45
and I rooted for the people
38:46
that were there.
38:49
Because they're there.
38:50
Right.
38:53
Because they're there,
38:54
and they're still putting on a show.
38:57
A women's side has always
38:58
been more fun in general
38:59
once you take out Tia.
39:02
Ken Walters, Colton,
39:04
but twenty five percent.
39:07
In the immortal words of John Young,
39:09
good as chance as anybody.
39:13
Good chance as anybody.
39:15
There was a point up here
39:17
about your own team winning
39:18
a bunch of times.
39:20
Something we don't have to
39:21
worry about here in Minnesota.
39:25
Something we ain't got to
39:25
worry about in New Orleans either there,
39:27
homeboy.
39:27
We don't got to worry about that.
39:29
Chicago for being the third
39:31
biggest city in the country.
39:33
Yeah, nothing.
39:35
Nothing.
39:37
Wait, wait, wait.
39:38
In two thousand nine, we won a Super Bowl.
39:40
Yay.
39:42
It is now two thousand and twenty five.
39:47
Ain't been back since.
39:47
Yeah.
39:48
And and when we're talking
39:52
about people sitting out
39:53
like Laura Horvat has won the games,
39:55
Emma Lawson taking second
39:57
at the games and you're
39:59
still not missing them, it's going to be.
40:03
Again,
40:03
I think this is going to be a very
40:04
fascinating question when
40:08
the games come around and
40:10
we look at this lineup.
40:11
And maybe next week we'll
40:12
pull up the lineup and go
40:13
down through because
40:15
hopefully everybody will be
40:15
registered by then.
40:17
And we'll see the names.
40:20
And are we excited about the names going?
40:29
Or at the same time, I guess you could say,
40:31
is there anything on there that you –
40:34
wish would be there or you
40:37
think would be as fans you
40:39
would benefit from if they
40:40
were there yeah I mean off
40:43
the top of my head like I
40:44
said the people I miss are
40:46
carolyn and and emily and
40:48
they're just because
40:49
they're good friends of
40:50
mine yeah right but the the
40:55
sport will move on like it or not
40:59
That's just how it goes.
41:02
I think about that kind of stuff a lot.
41:03
When I first started watching soccer,
41:05
when I first started playing,
41:06
you get favorite players and then
41:10
They get a little bit older
41:11
and they might move teams
41:12
and you still want them to
41:13
do well on their team as
41:14
long as they're not playing
41:15
the team that you were
41:16
watching before and they start aging out.
41:18
Same thing with football and
41:20
basketball and whatnot.
41:21
As much as they want to make
41:22
it a professional sport,
41:24
which is probably never
41:26
going to be a real thing as
41:27
far as that's concerned,
41:28
we are way too niche.
41:29
But you're still going to
41:30
get that same sort of
41:31
turnover as far as athletes
41:33
are concerned.
41:33
They're going to age out.
41:34
They're going to just stop
41:35
participating for whatever reason,
41:36
especially in our sport.
41:40
not really making there's
41:41
only what the top one
41:42
percent is making enough
41:43
money to live on and
41:46
possibly retire actually
41:47
retire on right most people
41:49
from here when they retire
41:51
as they go back to doing
41:52
whatever they were doing
41:52
before they started doing
41:53
crossfit so let me let me
41:56
put it to you in this this
41:57
frame I think it
41:58
illustrates it the most
42:00
this year's season
42:01
structure was so bad so bad
42:05
That you have an online
42:07
qualifier that rips eleven
42:10
men and eleven women away
42:11
from the in-person competitions.
42:16
Right?
42:18
And still,
42:19
I was glued to NorCal all weekend.
42:25
And I was still glued to
42:26
Syndicate all weekend and
42:28
none of the big names were
42:29
there because of that online competition.
42:32
The...
42:36
The decision to put it in
42:37
the middle is mind-boggling to me.
42:42
And I know we said this and
42:43
we're beating a dead horse at this point,
42:44
but I don't think everybody
42:46
would agree it needs to be
42:48
after everything else is done.
42:50
Let them compete live.
42:52
Because there ain't no
42:53
online part of the games.
42:55
Not this year, anyway.
42:57
We did that once.
42:59
Worked out, you know.
43:02
mid midland uh area of
43:04
success as far as that's
43:05
concerned but it needs to
43:08
be at the end of the season
43:09
they need to compete live
43:10
when you get to the games
43:11
you're going to be
43:11
competing live yes every
43:15
sport is who's up next and
43:18
then ken walters comes back
43:20
except for your the ohio
43:23
buckeyes uh right mr reed
43:25
and it's ohio state
43:28
my daughter went to ohio I
43:29
want to just clear that up
43:31
and ohio hates ohio state
43:33
yeah um the ohio state yeah
43:40
and uh ken walters of
43:41
course appreciate the use
43:42
of the the reeds have a I
43:48
mean they they have an
43:49
investment at this point they do
43:52
ain't mad at him for that
43:53
and he's he's really good
43:55
yeah yes I've seen videos
43:57
it's amazing yes yeah my
43:59
sister was a diver for
44:00
years uh and man that their
44:03
son is amazing I I would
44:07
get so lost like trying to
44:09
flip turn twist all that
44:11
good like there's no
44:14
I probably end up hitting my
44:14
head on the diving board more than once.
44:16
That's actually a fear of mine,
44:18
like trying to just do a
44:19
flip off the diving board
44:21
that I'm going to hit my
44:21
head every single time.
44:24
Andrew Stenbaugh,
44:25
who cares about Ohio State?
44:27
I'm with you, Andrew.
44:30
Tigers play tonight, baby.
44:31
Tigers play tonight.
44:32
College World Series.
44:34
All right.
44:36
Well, before we go,
44:37
I want to make one more announcement.
44:46
Last night I got an email
44:47
from CrossFit
44:49
congratulating me on my
44:52
media credentials for the CrossFit Games.
44:57
So we are going to Albany.
45:00
Upstate New York.
45:02
My whole life it was Albany.
45:04
My whole life.
45:05
And now all of a sudden they
45:06
want to be called Albany.
45:10
It's been Albany as far as I still know.
45:12
There's an Albany thirty minutes from me.
45:16
It's not in New York.
45:22
It's like my whole life it
45:23
was Adidas and now it's Adidas.
45:25
Nope.
45:28
Nope.
45:28
Still going to be Adidas at my house.
45:30
I got news for you.
45:32
I was looking at, a matter of fact,
45:34
I text Bill Lee yesterday, and I was like,
45:37
hey, man,
45:38
I was asking about those
45:39
training specials and new
45:41
Adidas training shoes that came out.
45:42
And he's like, he said, yeah, I got some.
45:44
He said, I'm actually really,
45:45
I was pleasantly surprised.
45:47
He said,
45:47
it's actually a pretty good
45:48
training shoe.
45:49
And I said, cool,
45:50
I need you to use your pool
45:51
at Adidas to get size nine
45:53
in the white back in stock
45:55
so I can actually order some.
45:57
he's like man I wish I had
45:59
that much pull and I was
46:00
like you sponsored by him
46:00
bro like what's the deal
46:01
like every time I see you
46:04

46:13
hear I don't know I don't
46:15

46:17
or if carolyn applied um
46:20
Because if Carolyn wasn't
46:21
going as an athlete,
46:22
she wanted to go as media.
46:25
So I got to check in with everybody today,
46:27
see what happened there.
46:30
We got an Airbnb booked,
46:31
have had it booked since
46:32
they announced it.
46:33
Big three-bedroom house.
46:36
So can't wait to go.
46:40
Congrats, dude.
46:41
I'm as excited as I am for that.
46:42
I am really excited for the Masters games.
46:45
Well,
46:45
because you can sleep in your own bed,
46:47
I would be too.
46:49
Yeah, that is going to be elite, man.
46:56
I have so many friends in
46:57
the Masters division.
46:59
So many friends.
47:00
Like, that's going to be the best.
47:09
So, all right.
47:14
All right, guys.
47:15
With that, I got meetings.
47:18
Meetings after meetings upon meetings.
47:21
Everybody's sick at my job.
47:24
Everybody's sick and then
47:25
you got allergies about
47:26
ready to kill you.
47:28
Yeah,
47:29
so I'm filling in on meetings for
47:32
other people and doing my
47:34
own stuff all this week.
47:36
So it's been a little bit busy.
47:38
So with that...
47:41
I don't need to rent out a room, Denise.
47:43
I got a, I got a basement right here.
47:44
I can have it all cleaned up
47:47
and polished and shiny.
47:48
You can do interviews in the basement.
47:51
I got used to it.
47:52
Most of us, math is athletes.
47:53
Don't need a clean policy
47:54
and shining somewhere.
47:55
So I can sleep.
47:56
Cool.
47:57
Done.
