• 0:03
  I want to be a cowboy, baby.
• 0:08
  He's back.
• 0:09
  Let's go.
• 0:21
  I love the chase and the hunt,
• 0:22
  and I set the pace when I'm running.
• 0:24
  I always take what I want,
• 0:25
  and I always give it one hundred.
• 0:27
  Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.
• 0:28
  Play the game like it's nothing.
• 0:30
  I'm always thankful for something.
• 0:31
  Don't take for granted, stay humble.
• 0:33
  Now wake up!
• 0:34
  It's time to look at the enemy.
• 0:36
  Look in the mirror if he is no
• 0:38
  friend to me.
• 0:39
  It's not working out,
• 0:41
  maybe it's the chemistry.
• 0:42
  It's time to break up.
• 0:50
  it's lunch time what is going on everybody
• 0:54
  welcome to another episode of lunch with
• 0:56
  the Clydesdale so awesome to be with you
• 0:58
  today we got the cowboy back for an
• 1:01
  episode today and man I needed it I've
• 1:03
  got a project going on at work where
• 1:06
  I'm learning as I'm doing doing as I'm
• 1:09
  learning it'd be like that sometime
• 1:14
  Those are the fun ones, man.
• 1:15
  At least the day goes by fast,
• 1:17
  but man,
• 1:18
  trying to keep up with everything going on
• 1:20
  in the,
• 1:22
  in the world of CrossFit and sports, man.
• 1:25
  Today was not my day for that.
• 1:28
  Understandable.
• 1:29
  Understandable.
• 1:30
  Understandable.
• 1:32
  So we got Trent Olive in the house.
• 1:34
  We've got Meredith in the house.
• 1:37
  Meredith, I think she's working out,
• 1:39
  right?
• 1:39
  She comes in, works out, listens to us.
• 1:42
  Do you work out the podcasts?
• 1:44
  No, I do not.
• 1:48
  I am our CrossFit versus unofficial
• 1:52
  official DJ.
• 1:53
  I create all the playlists that we listen
• 1:54
  to while we're working out.
• 1:57
  Yeah,
• 1:57
  like I know Dan Church listens to us
• 1:59
  when he's working out.
• 2:01
  God bless him.
• 2:02
  Like, I don't know.
• 2:04
  Sometimes I'll call my mom and she'll be
• 2:05
  watching our show.
• 2:07
  And I'm like,
• 2:07
  you got to shut it off.
• 2:08
  I can't hear myself.
• 2:10
  Yeah, I know.
• 2:11
  Just can't.
• 2:12
  That would be weird.
• 2:14
  Every time we end up on Jenny's show,
• 2:16
  for whatever reason,
• 2:18
  and which ninety percent of the time is
• 2:19
  because you said something cool.
• 2:21
  And I just happen to be there.
• 2:22
  I'm sitting there hoping I don't say
• 2:24
  something on the clip for the same reason.
• 2:26
  Like, I don't want to hear myself talk.
• 2:30
  Vicky, I lift a podcast, Metcon to music.
• 2:33
  Now, I could probably do the opposite.
• 2:35
  If I'm lifting, it's got to be hard,
• 2:39
  heavy, thrash, whatever.
• 2:43
  Either hip-hop, rock, whatever,
• 2:44
  but it's got to be thumping when I'm
• 2:47
  lifting.
• 2:48
  When I'm Metconning,
• 2:49
  I just don't want to hear my own
• 2:50
  breath.
• 2:53
  It just needs to be loud at that
• 2:58
  point.
• 3:01
  Now we've got Joseph Ramirez in the house,
• 3:03
  Mark Phillips.
• 3:03
  Vicky, of course, is here.
• 3:05
  Mark and Kenneth DeLapp.
• 3:08
  I got the weirdest DM yesterday.
• 3:11
  Oh.
• 3:11
  From Pedro, Coffee Pods and Wads.
• 3:14
  He's like, hey,
• 3:16
  do you know Kenneth DeLapp?
• 3:17
  I said,
• 3:18
  everybody in this space knows Kenneth
• 3:20
  DeLapp.
• 3:23
  He doesn't have an Instagram.
• 3:25
  And I said, oh.
• 3:26
  He goes, he won something on my show.
• 3:28
  Can you get in contact with him?
• 3:31
  And I was like, I sure can.
• 3:34
  A couple of years ago,
• 3:35
  Kenneth helped me out with some stuff.
• 3:37
  I have his number.
• 3:39
  So I was able to send him a
• 3:40
  code and he got the winning prize from
• 3:42
  Coffee Pods and Wads.
• 3:45
  Yes, indeed.
• 3:47
  Well, good.
• 3:47
  Congratulations, Kenneth.
• 3:48
  I was trying to win.
• 3:49
  He was given away open registration,
• 3:54
  I want to say.
• 3:55
  Is that right?
• 3:56
  Yeah, I think so.
• 3:59
  Yeah.
• 4:00
  Uh, Mark Phillips,
• 4:01
  I need eighties or nineties, long hair,
• 4:03
  dude, screaming in my ear during workouts.
• 4:06
  Yeah.
• 4:06
  I'm a nineties.
• 4:07
  Like I grew up in the eighties,
• 4:09
  high school, eighties, college nineties,
• 4:11
  uh, bouncing in the clubs, nineties,
• 4:13
  nineties is really my, like, that's the,
• 4:18
  that's my default.
• 4:20
  Then I'll move around to some other stuff,
• 4:22
  but I've been cross fitness,
• 4:24
  my eighth open nine years,
• 4:27
  almost total or right at anyway.
• 4:30
  Um,
• 4:31
  I think that's right anyway.
• 4:34
  And we've been listening to the same music
• 4:35
  the entire time.
• 4:37
  It's from like two thousand to two
• 4:39
  thousand and twelve thirteen is I add new
• 4:42
  stuff when I find new stuff that's worth
• 4:44
  adding.
• 4:46
  Like if it's if it moves me,
• 4:48
  if it makes me want to get up
• 4:49
  and do stuff and whatnot, cool,
• 4:51
  I'll add it.
• 4:51
  I got playlists specifically specifically
• 4:53
  for that.
• 4:54
  But other than that,
• 4:55
  I'm not like we stick to what works.
• 5:00
  Trent Olive, I can't.
• 5:01
  I can work out to music, podcast,
• 5:03
  kill Taylor, silence.
• 5:04
  I'm just sick.
• 5:08
  The craziest experience I ever had was
• 5:10
  when I was judging Saxon for the COVID
• 5:14
  rogue invitational.
• 5:16
  And they weren't allowed to have music on
• 5:18
  during the broadcast.
• 5:21
  And so I had an earpiece in so
• 5:23
  the head judge could yell at me or
• 5:26
  tell me things as I was judging.
• 5:28
  But all I could hear was Saxon breathing.
• 5:33
  It was the most bizarre experience I've
• 5:35
  ever had at a competition.
• 5:39
  I can do no music,
• 5:41
  but I would much prefer to not do
• 5:44
  no music.
• 5:47
  Jonathan,
• 5:47
  I listen to Emo and Rob just to
• 5:50
  get in my feel, sad,
• 5:51
  and cry lift real good.
• 5:52
  That's hilarious.
• 5:56
  Other things make me cry during my
• 5:58
  workout.
• 5:58
  I don't need the music to contribute.
• 6:02
  Meredith, I work out at five a.m.
• 6:04
  Pacific time.
• 6:04
  Early bird here.
• 6:11
  Shanna,
• 6:11
  when I was training for the marathon C-two
• 6:13
  bike, I listened to podcasts.
• 6:16
  you go the only time i can listen
• 6:20
  to not music is if i'm like out
• 6:22
  in the world riding my bike it's usually
• 6:24
  the first thing in the morning and i'll
• 6:26
  listen to the the morning radio show that
• 6:28
  i normally listen to then and even then
• 6:32
  like there's only so long i can take
• 6:33
  of that like i need something to help
• 6:35
  me keep cadence something to help me kind
• 6:37
  of like push me along like i know
• 6:38
  it's the people and that has commercials
• 6:40
  which really does not help because like i
• 6:42
  am not trying to buy a subaru um
• 6:44
  on my bike just not happening
• 6:47
  Yeah.
• 6:48
  When I used to run races,
• 6:49
  like I would have a different playlist for
• 6:51
  running as opposed to working out.
• 6:54
  It really had to be different.
• 6:56
  It had to be like a pace thing.
• 6:58
  Um, so, uh,
• 7:01
  Kenneth says that was a fun text exchange.
• 7:04
  You won something, man, dude.
• 7:09
  Uh, first time watching live.
• 7:11
  Well, welcome Richard.
• 7:16
  Jenny, eighties,
• 7:17
  nineties country is where it's at.
• 7:18
  See, that's where I can't,
• 7:20
  I can't get on board.
• 7:23
  I know in the state of Texas,
• 7:24
  that's a thing.
• 7:26
  And actually Pancheck brothers were all
• 7:28
  country all the time.
• 7:32
  That's tough for me.
• 7:37
  I like certain artists, but I cannot,
• 7:40
  I cannot dive into the full genre.
• 7:43
  It depends on what it is.
• 7:45
  If it's outlaw country type stuff where
• 7:48
  it's driving and there's actual guitars,
• 7:51
  but I'm not listening to Faith Hill sing
• 7:55
  some ballad or some shit like that.
• 7:57
  We're not doing that.
• 7:59
  Joseph Ramirez, Nickelback on Full Blast.
• 8:01
  So he's going full Canadian.
• 8:06
  I think he's joking.
• 8:07
  I hope he's joking.
• 8:09
  You and I have had this conversation
• 8:10
  before,
• 8:10
  but I don't understand the Nickelback
• 8:13
  hate.
• 8:13
  I will never understand the Nickelback
• 8:14
  hate because all they sing about is
• 8:16
  strippers doing drugs, getting drunk,
• 8:19
  and fighting people.
• 8:21
  That's their four main categories of song.
• 8:24
  Having sex.
• 8:25
  I guess you could throw five in there.
• 8:27
  That's it.
• 8:30
  The vast majority of it is loud and
• 8:33
  Big, big fan, dude.
• 8:35
  Here's my thing with Nickelback.
• 8:36
  It's very repetitive.
• 8:40
  I'm okay if it shows up on a
• 8:42
  radio station and it's a change-up to what
• 8:44
  I'm listening to,
• 8:45
  but I cannot listen to straight
• 8:47
  Nickelback.
• 8:49
  It's too much.
• 8:51
  It's too much.
• 8:54
  We would have Nickelback Tuesdays when
• 8:56
  Benoit would coach Tuesday night and Kid
• 8:58
  Rock Thursday on Thursday night.
• 9:01
  Thursday night, five, eight, five,
• 9:02
  thirty class at CrossFit Virtus.
• 9:05
  Nine times out of ten, Benoit's coaching.
• 9:07
  It is Nickelback.
• 9:08
  Or, excuse me, it's Kid Rock Thursday.
• 9:11
  Now, Kid Rock, I'm all into.
• 9:14
  We'll see on Spotify.
• 9:16
  Cowboy.
• 9:20
  On Spotify,
• 9:22
  if you just put on like Kid Rock
• 9:24
  Radio, it's not just Kid Rock, obviously.
• 9:26
  It's Kid Rock Heavy,
• 9:28
  but like it just plays a lot of
• 9:29
  stuff that's in that same kind of area
• 9:31
  and it works fantastically.
• 9:34
  Trish listens to Gordon Lightfoot.
• 9:36
  Hey,
• 9:39
  that's a special workout when you're
• 9:41
  listening to Gordon Lightfoot.
• 9:43
  Special workout.
• 9:47
  Chetanufi,
• 9:48
  my music dropped mid NorCal qualifier on
• 9:50
  the thirty five minute cap row box jump
• 9:52
  to the bar one.
• 9:54
  That was a grind to continue with just
• 9:56
  my breathing and the rower fan.
• 9:59
  Oh, that is terrible.
• 10:06
  Then, Jenny, I grew up in Cali.
• 10:08
  I was country when country wasn't cool.
• 10:13
  That's a fantastic song.
• 10:15
  FYI.
• 10:18
  um jonathan ooh country fitness jenny i'm
• 10:26
  all over the place dude nickelback on full
• 10:32
  blast is on point ramirez okay i didn't
• 10:37
  mean to get into all this talk but
• 10:39
  cool and then on a different subject
• 10:41
  unrelated
• 10:43
  But I binge the first season of The
• 10:44
  Pit because you talk about it.
• 10:46
  Great show.
• 10:48
  First season of The Pit is awesome.
• 10:49
  They are two episodes into season two.
• 10:52
  You can tell it's just kind of ramping
• 10:55
  up.
• 10:56
  They're setting up stories for the total
• 11:00
  mass chaos breakdown,
• 11:02
  but we're not quite there yet.
• 11:04
  No,
• 11:05
  my wife watched the first season and then
• 11:07
  watched like the second half of the first
• 11:09
  season again,
• 11:10
  leading up to the new one that just
• 11:12
  came out.
• 11:13
  So because I am not a fan of
• 11:16
  hour long medical procedural dramas.
• 11:20
  However,
• 11:20
  that doesn't mean I haven't watched them.
• 11:22
  So there's that.
• 11:24
  What I love about it is it truly
• 11:26
  is an hour.
• 11:27
  Like an hour in the show is an
• 11:30
  hour.
• 11:31
  Like it is like the show.
• 11:33
  Twenty four.
• 11:34
  Basically, I will say this.
• 11:37
  Yeah,
• 11:37
  it did have good moments where like it
• 11:39
  made you feel stuff because in the first
• 11:41
  season when that that dude punched the
• 11:44
  nurse.
• 11:45
  outside, knocked her out,
• 11:48
  I wanted to fight that dude.
• 11:49
  I was ready to get up off the
• 11:51
  couch.
• 11:54
  That was a fantastic moment in the show.
• 11:57
  Not fantastic, but fantastic.
• 12:00
  That kind of stuff.
• 12:04
  Kenneth asks,
• 12:05
  is it a one-shot or do they have
• 12:06
  cuts?
• 12:08
  They have cuts.
• 12:09
  They have cuts,
• 12:10
  but it is a continuous hour.
• 12:14
  um jody's done with the pit uh she's
• 12:16
  moving on noah wiley is just boring well
• 12:20
  here's my dilemma like my favorite show
• 12:22
  right now is land man and it ended
• 12:24
  for the season so now i've got nothing
• 12:28
  we're getting we're getting caught up
• 12:30
  we're getting caught up on land man i
• 12:32
  say getting caught up we're actually we're
• 12:34
  on the third episode of the first season
• 12:36
  so i knew it was good
• 12:39
  right but like we just i mean just
• 12:41
  gets in the way dude like whenever so
• 12:43
  finally i told jennifer over the weekend i
• 12:45
  was like okay we're watching this and so
• 12:48
  like last night she said you want to
• 12:50
  watch episode three and i said i'm going
• 12:52
  to bed i got to get up and
• 12:53
  coach anymore and like i said you can
• 12:55
  watch it if you want to i'll i'll
• 12:57
  catch up any big deal i'll watch it
• 12:59
  whenever i get home but uh and i
• 13:02
  don't know if she did or not she
• 13:03
  came crawling to bed not long after i
• 13:05
  was in there so i don't think she
• 13:06
  did
• 13:07
  Yeah,
• 13:09
  I think I'm going to rewatch season two.
• 13:11
  It was so good.
• 13:12
  Season two, I think,
• 13:13
  was better than season one.
• 13:16
  And the last couple episodes were just out
• 13:19
  of this world good.
• 13:20
  Surprises, really good.
• 13:23
  It's ridiculously good.
• 13:27
  Like, it's stupid.
• 13:31
  Wayne Short, Landman season two was great,
• 13:33
  and it convinced me to pursue physical
• 13:36
  therapy for my shoulder.
• 13:40
  If you've not seen Layman Two,
• 13:44
  the character that Sam Elliott plays is
• 13:45
  introduced and it's the father of Billy
• 13:47
  Bob Thornton.
• 13:49
  And he needs therapy because he's old and
• 13:55
  he can't move really well.
• 13:58
  So Billy Bob goes to the local strip
• 14:00
  club and hires one of the dancers because
• 14:02
  they do stretches and stuff to come over
• 14:04
  to the house and stretch out Sam Elliott.
• 14:08
  she takes him in she takes him into
• 14:11
  the uh the pool and does aqua therapy
• 14:15
  and it is it is so funny some
• 14:18
  of the the lines that come out of
• 14:19
  that um phenomenal phenomenal uh trish
• 14:28
  says uh layman is just hallmark for men
• 14:31
  so be it i like it um
• 14:39
  Uh, reads recommend lioness.
• 14:43
  Judy and Doug.
• 14:45
  Oh, I like lioness too.
• 14:47
  It's by the same writer that does land,
• 14:49
  man.
• 14:49
  It is.
• 14:50
  But if you,
• 14:52
  you have to be prepped for like a
• 14:54
  really big drama,
• 14:56
  lots of emotion and action.
• 14:59
  It's, it's great.
• 15:02
  It's great.
• 15:07
  Um,
• 15:10
  have to use subtitles for sam elliott uh
• 15:14
  my mom would like to use braille with
• 15:15
  sam elliott is what she did uh um
• 15:28
  yeah uh hexi lover yeah i am i
• 15:31
  i've already seen all of the lionesses um
• 15:35
  i'm a big fan
• 15:37
  So let's talk a little bit of CrossFit
• 15:39
  today while we're on this route.
• 15:45
  I don't know what to start with.
• 15:46
  I'm going to start with this one.
• 15:51
  So invites have gone out from different
• 15:53
  masters qualifiers in person and people
• 15:56
  are actually getting wildcard invites.
• 16:00
  So this was out on Steph Waugh's Instagram
• 16:04
  page.
• 16:04
  If you don't know who Steph Waugh is,
• 16:06
  she's a former Masters Games champion,
• 16:09
  and then she popped for steroids about
• 16:12
  four and a half years ago.
• 16:15
  I do remember that.
• 16:16
  So she is now eligible to compete again
• 16:20
  in the CrossFit season as that ban has
• 16:23
  been lifted.
• 16:25
  But she gets a wild card to LATAM
• 16:28
  to compete at the LATAM Masters in-person
• 16:31
  qualifier.
• 16:35
  Can we pause right quick?
• 16:40
  She popped.
• 16:42
  She's now clean.
• 16:43
  And the first invite she gets is from
• 16:45
  Latin America.
• 16:47
  Correct.
• 16:47
  Can you just talk about the irony of
• 16:48
  that for a second?
• 16:49
  Yeah,
• 16:50
  like this poster that goes up on the
• 16:57
  Sorry, continue.
• 17:01
  Just a few minutes ago,
• 17:04
  she gets an automatic bid to the Legends
• 17:08
  in person.
• 17:09
  Whoops.
• 17:11
  She gets an automatic bid to the Legends
• 17:16
  for their competition in Del Mar.
• 17:20
  And so I know that you get...
• 17:25
  a four-year ban for PED use,
• 17:28
  and then you can compete again.
• 17:30
  But my question is,
• 17:32
  should that enable you to get automatic
• 17:35
  bids to competitions that like last year's
• 17:39
  games athletes aren't even getting?
• 17:43
  That is a wild, wild scenario.
• 17:48
  So...
• 17:49
  I would think in my rational common sense
• 17:53
  brain that I try to use on a
• 17:55
  regular basis,
• 17:55
  that if you're getting an invite where you
• 17:59
  don't actually have to do a qualifier,
• 18:00
  you don't actually have to do anything
• 18:02
  else other than get invited to come.
• 18:04
  It's because you have a history that
• 18:06
  you've been doing stuff and I'm sorry,
• 18:09
  but if you've been on a four year
• 18:11
  ban, what have you done?
• 18:16
  I know Jenny saying she won NorCal last
• 18:18
  year, but.
• 18:20
  Okay.
• 18:23
  I'm assuming that NorCal in their
• 18:25
  community division was not a sanctioned
• 18:27
  event.
• 18:29
  And you can do whatever you want there.
• 18:31
  I've seen her compete at other places as
• 18:32
  well.
• 18:33
  She's allowed to compete as long as it's
• 18:35
  not a CrossFit sanctioned event.
• 18:37
  It's up to the event organizer.
• 18:38
  And I get it.
• 18:40
  I get it that she did her time.
• 18:43
  She is now able to compete.
• 18:45
  I'm okay with that.
• 18:47
  But to get an automatic bid, let me,
• 18:49
  Shanna,
• 18:50
  Shanna Bunce in our chat is a former
• 18:52
  games champion.
• 18:54
  She get an automatic bid to either of
• 18:56
  these places.
• 18:57
  I'd love for her to comment in the
• 18:58
  chat.
• 19:01
  Oh, and she's in the chat.
• 19:01
  She just, I know.
• 19:02
  And she seemed less than enthused that
• 19:05
  about this, about this news.
• 19:06
  Well, my question is,
• 19:07
  did she get an invite?
• 19:10
  Because for someone to come off a ban
• 19:12
  and not compete at a sanction event.
• 19:18
  And now you get automatic bids to two
• 19:20
  of the four in-person masters qualifiers.
• 19:29
  That's a, that is a bold choice.
• 19:31
  Uh, I did not get any invite.
• 19:39
  Don't you find that peculiar minimum
• 19:47
  peculiar.
• 19:48
  Yeah.
• 19:51
  Anything she accomplished during the band
• 19:52
  should not count.
• 19:55
  Correct.
• 19:59
  Um, I'm missing all these things.
• 20:00
  Anything come through?
• 20:01
  They popping up.
• 20:06
  Uh, Vicki,
• 20:06
  that is one hundred percent BS way worse
• 20:08
  than mayhem using the rogue leaderboard,
• 20:09
  inviting people early way worse.
• 20:13
  In my opinion, I would agree.
• 20:14
  I would agree.
• 20:16
  If she goes through the qualifier and she
• 20:17
  is not banned anymore and she qualifies
• 20:20
  for a position in the event,
• 20:22
  then she earned it.
• 20:25
  But how do you earn it being off
• 20:26
  for five years?
• 20:30
  And even like the few years before that
• 20:32
  you're using, and does any of that count?
• 20:37
  Why not let her do the open and
• 20:39
  quarterfinals like the rest of us do that
• 20:42
  have to try to fight our way to
• 20:44
  a live in-person competition and then see
• 20:49
  what happens instead of just going, Oh,
• 20:51
  you just got off band.
• 20:52
  Cool.
• 20:53
  Come work out with it.
• 20:53
  Come, come.
• 20:55
  We're going to invite you to two separate
• 20:57
  ones.
• 20:58
  Ricky Gerrard had to work and earn his
• 20:59
  way back in.
• 21:01
  This is BS.
• 21:05
  Yeah,
• 21:06
  and the people let Ricky know that they
• 21:09
  weren't happy about him coming back to the
• 21:11
  games.
• 21:12
  Now, we all love Ricky now, right?
• 21:15
  Because he has kind of earned our respect
• 21:16
  back and going through the process and all
• 21:18
  of those things.
• 21:19
  But when he first came back,
• 21:20
  there was a lot of vitriol about him
• 21:23
  coming back and that people didn't want
• 21:25
  him here.
• 21:26
  It was a huge deal.
• 21:28
  Yeah.
• 21:28
  And for this just to be like swept
• 21:30
  under the rug and we're going to just
• 21:32
  let you come without even going through a
• 21:34
  qualifier.
• 21:35
  And I've literally,
• 21:36
  literally I've had games athletes contact
• 21:39
  me in the last twenty four hours calling
• 21:41
  BS on this who qualified for the games
• 21:44
  last year and they're not even getting
• 21:45
  this treatment.
• 21:46
  It's nonsense.
• 21:55
  It's nonsense.
• 21:56
  I don't know a better way to put
• 21:57
  it.
• 21:57
  Trish says, of course,
• 21:57
  masters are enhanced.
• 21:58
  Why do we act like this is surprising
• 22:00
  every time?
• 22:01
  I'm not acting surprised that she popped.
• 22:03
  I'm acting surprised that she does not
• 22:06
  have to go through the process of anybody
• 22:08
  else to get into these events.
• 22:18
  She was at Legends in December,
• 22:19
  and she ended up winning Legends this
• 22:23
  winter.
• 22:23
  And I'm assuming that that's why she got
• 22:26
  the automatic bid to their event for the
• 22:30
  qualifier.
• 22:31
  But LATAM doesn't have anything to do with
• 22:33
  that, does it?
• 22:36
  They have been,
• 22:39
  I don't want to say in cahoots,
• 22:41
  associated with each other before.
• 22:45
  That's been a thing.
• 22:48
  What kind of message does this send to
• 22:49
  all the drug users?
• 22:56
  Great use of vitriol.
• 22:57
  Yeah.
• 22:59
  Thank you.
• 23:01
  It was on my word of the day
• 23:03
  calendar.
• 23:03
  I just happened to get up and see
• 23:08
  it this morning.
• 23:09
  Shanna,
• 23:09
  I have fought tooth and nail to qualify
• 23:10
  and work my ass off drug-free,
• 23:12
  and a drug user gets this kind of
• 23:14
  treatment.
• 23:16
  That's the,
• 23:17
  I think that's the biggest thing.
• 23:19
  I really do.
• 23:20
  Like those of us, Shanna, who's made it,
• 23:23
  me who's trying to make it, you know,
• 23:26
  I wish somebody would test me or even
• 23:27
  accuse me of being on drugs at some
• 23:30
  point.
• 23:31
  You fight, you work, you fight, you work,
• 23:33
  you fight, you work.
• 23:34
  Somebody gets popped,
• 23:35
  spends four years off,
• 23:36
  not being able to compete officially,
• 23:39
  you know,
• 23:39
  doing whatever local media or whatever
• 23:43
  kind of comps you want to go to.
• 23:46
  and then as soon as they get done
• 23:48
  oh come on back come on back it's
• 23:52
  bananas dude that is absolutely bananas
• 23:57
  it's the message it sends it sure as
• 23:59
  hell is um
• 24:06
  Kate McGee is qualifiers is going to be
• 24:09
  a bloodbath limited to top fifteen
• 24:12
  in-person options are super flawed,
• 24:14
  but I'm always just grateful for the
• 24:16
  opportunities, no matter how imperfect.
• 24:18
  And that's what I've been telling games
• 24:19
  athletes like, yeah, this really sucks.
• 24:23
  And this sends a really bad message.
• 24:25
  but you can't control this.
• 24:27
  And there are opportunities this year that
• 24:30
  were not there for masters athletes in
• 24:31
  years previous.
• 24:34
  So be the best you can be,
• 24:36
  do the best you can,
• 24:38
  and hopefully you can qualify.
• 24:41
  And just because she got the invite
• 24:42
  doesn't mean she's qualifying for the
• 24:44
  games,
• 24:44
  but it takes out a step of the
• 24:46
  process that she doesn't have to go
• 24:48
  through.
• 24:50
  And that's fantastic.
• 24:52
  I think that's the point that that's,
• 24:54
  that's frustrating is that what did she do
• 24:58
  to deserve that aside from when legends in
• 25:01
  December?
• 25:02
  And they told us,
• 25:03
  they didn't tell us when we got there.
• 25:04
  Like if you got on the podium,
• 25:05
  you were probably going to get an invite.
• 25:07
  Like, uh,
• 25:11
  Jesus Christ,
• 25:11
  Joe had Joe had mentioned that.
• 25:14
  So and that's fine as their prerogative,
• 25:16
  you can do invite whoever the hell you
• 25:17
  want,
• 25:18
  just like mayhem can invite whoever the
• 25:21
  hell they want and whatnot.
• 25:24
  I think the the problem is,
• 25:26
  is that this chick just got off a
• 25:27
  band.
• 25:30
  Oh, she was fourth at legends.
• 25:35
  Shana says,
• 25:35
  I've lost a lot of respect for Legends
• 25:37
  allowing a banned athlete to compete.
• 25:39
  Well, let's be clear.
• 25:40
  I believe she tested positive after the
• 25:43
  games.
• 25:44
  So her sanction probably was up August,
• 25:48
  September.
• 25:50
  Somewhere in that area, more than likely.
• 25:53
  And so she probably was not technically
• 25:55
  banned at the time Legends was live.
• 26:02
  So...
• 26:04
  You can get into the weeds a whole
• 26:05
  lot with that because if that's the case,
• 26:08
  then they let her qualify because the
• 26:12
  qualifier was in May.
• 26:19
  So Lito's still waiting for her invite.
• 26:31
  Uh, Wayne,
• 26:32
  do band athletes continue to be randomly
• 26:34
  tested during their band?
• 26:35
  I, I think that it's a possibility.
• 26:38
  I don't think that they really do much
• 26:41
  testing in the masters, uh,
• 26:43
  division and less it's thirty-five to
• 26:46
  thirty-nine.
• 26:47
  Um, cause I know Carolyn has been tested.
• 26:49
  I know Jr.
• 26:50
  How's been tested,
• 26:51
  but I think they won open events in
• 26:53
  their divisions.
• 26:55
  Um, but I don't,
• 26:56
  it doesn't happen very often.
• 27:00
  Um, so,
• 27:06
  so she has probably not been tested during
• 27:08
  that time.
• 27:09
  I've not seen her name show up on
• 27:10
  any lists.
• 27:15
  Right.
• 27:16
  Yeah.
• 27:17
  Channa's got a point like this cost.
• 27:20
  No, no.
• 27:24
  I mean,
• 27:25
  especially with a number of matches,
• 27:27
  I think that usually end up getting caught
• 27:30
  every single year.
• 27:32
  Uh, just, uh,
• 27:33
  the cost that it would cost to like
• 27:34
  keep testing them over the entire four
• 27:36
  year period is probably super prohibitive.
• 27:40
  Jonathan,
• 27:41
  they don't get taken off the list.
• 27:43
  Ricky got tested during his ban.
• 27:46
  I think that was so public that CrossFit
• 27:49
  wanted to show or send a message that
• 27:51
  testing would continue.
• 27:53
  He got tested a couple times during his
• 27:56
  ban.
• 27:57
  It actually ramped up more towards the end
• 27:59
  of his ban as he was going to
• 28:00
  be coming off.
• 28:07
  Imagine Phil to getting an invite.
• 28:10
  There you go.
• 28:12
  There you go.
• 28:15
  Solid.
• 28:17
  Solid.
• 28:20
  All right.
• 28:22
  So the next thing I have up is
• 28:25
  this.
• 28:31
  WFP has announced two has signed their
• 28:34
  contracts with the WFP for the upcoming
• 28:39
  season.
• 28:40
  And it is this list here.
• 28:43
  Chandler Smith, Cindy, Sydney McElishan,
• 28:46
  Andrea Selberg, Oda Lundivicum,
• 28:50
  Guy Mejeros, Roman Kronikoff, Lydia Fish,
• 28:53
  Travis Mayer, Yela Hosta,
• 28:55
  and Emma Tall have all signed their
• 28:58
  contracts for the upcoming season.
• 29:00
  This was in a press release that was
• 29:02
  released yesterday.
• 29:04
  I don't know what the timeframes are on
• 29:07
  the athletes signing the contracts.
• 29:12
  I just find it interesting.
• 29:14
  I,
• 29:18
  I find it interesting that this was
• 29:20
  released yesterday.
• 29:22
  I think I would want a more complete
• 29:27
  list as we know more,
• 29:28
  because now it's going to lead to
• 29:30
  speculation on some things.
• 29:35
  Trad Nice says it was a ten-day window,
• 29:41
  and Farlow and Rolfe have also signed
• 29:43
  since this, I guess.
• 29:47
  I cannot confirm.
• 29:48
  I don't know who Treadnought is.
• 29:50
  But if that's true,
• 29:52
  Rolf and Farlow have signed as well.
• 29:55
  But that is one, two, three, four, five,
• 29:58
  six, ten or twelve athletes have signed.
• 30:05
  And it's going to be interesting to see
• 30:06
  who follows once this window is open for
• 30:11
  a little bit more time.
• 30:13
  We talked on the Monday night show that
• 30:16
  the pot of money available is pretty damn
• 30:19
  good and pretty damn big.
• 30:22
  And for a lot of athletes,
• 30:24
  it's their best opportunity to get that
• 30:27
  kind of money.
• 30:29
  And so...
• 30:32
  these, this list of athletes are the,
• 30:34
  the athletes I would guess would be in
• 30:37
  the hunt for that money.
• 30:40
  And, uh, I'm anxious though,
• 30:42
  to see some of the,
• 30:44
  the higher end athletes.
• 30:46
  We haven't seen them quite yet.
• 30:49
  Um, and it's going to be anxious.
• 30:52
  I like, it surprises me.
• 30:54
  We don't see Laura here yet, but again,
• 30:56
  she has a ten day window.
• 30:58
  Um,
• 31:00
  And because she's not on there now or
• 31:04
  until she signs,
• 31:05
  like now the people that are doing what
• 31:08
  we do are going to be speculating, oh,
• 31:10
  is she coming back to do the games?
• 31:12
  Is she not?
• 31:13
  She hasn't signed for WFP.
• 31:15
  Like, what's going on?
• 31:18
  Yeah, I think, yeah, Kenneth, you know,
• 31:22
  because our chat is very Colton heavy.
• 31:25
  Will Colton sign?
• 31:26
  I mean,
• 31:26
  he worked hard to get that contract.
• 31:29
  And get that pro card.
• 31:30
  I'm guessing he will sign.
• 31:32
  But again,
• 31:33
  by announcing it early like this,
• 31:35
  it leaves it open for some speculation.
• 31:39
  I wish they would have just done the
• 31:40
  full ten day window and then announced who
• 31:42
  was signed.
• 31:43
  Yeah, it's kind of weird.
• 31:46
  Like, okay, we got these ten people.
• 31:48
  Cool.
• 31:48
  Cool.
• 31:50
  But they're still having many days.
• 31:52
  They got left in their window whenever it
• 31:54
  opened and whenever it closed.
• 31:55
  Why not just wait to ten days?
• 31:57
  Why are you manufacturing news just to
• 31:59
  have something to say when it's not the
• 32:02
  whole list?
• 32:04
  Yeah.
• 32:09
  Seems they would need to backfill those
• 32:11
  contracts not signed before the eighteenth
• 32:13
  of February qualifier.
• 32:16
  Well, if you remember, Wayne,
• 32:18
  in tour stop one,
• 32:20
  everybody who went to Copenhagen,
• 32:22
  which would be your top thirty athletes
• 32:24
  and points,
• 32:26
  they get an automatic bid to the first
• 32:29
  tour stop.
• 32:30
  So that gives them some leeway because
• 32:33
  none of those athletes have to do the
• 32:35
  first qualifier.
• 32:41
  That's why so they would they would for
• 32:44
  those of the backfill they would have
• 32:47
  plenty of time.
• 32:50
  Before the first tour stop to get them
• 32:52
  signed.
• 32:55
  But.
• 33:02
  Howie, I did not see that.
• 33:03
  I'm sorry.
• 33:06
  Again,
• 33:06
  I've been on a work project that has
• 33:09
  kept me from keeping up with everything in
• 33:10
  the space.
• 33:11
  Sorry.
• 33:13
  Yeah,
• 33:13
  I had to go bring my daughter to
• 33:14
  the orthodontist this morning,
• 33:16
  so I ain't been paying too much attention
• 33:18
  to anything that was going on until now.
• 33:23
  Yeah.
• 33:24
  More than anything else.
• 33:27
  The other thing I wanted to quickly
• 33:29
  mention is
• 33:32
  Rogue announced their challenger season
• 33:35
  results.
• 33:38
  So for the men,
• 33:39
  first place was Andrew Guerrero,
• 33:45
  and Andrew Gannon.
• 33:48
  They took first, second, and third.
• 33:50
  On the female side,
• 33:50
  Taylor Williamson wins again.
• 33:52
  Carolyn Prevost, our very own,
• 33:55
  took second.
• 33:56
  And Gabby McClellan, who, man,
• 33:59
  I thought she was going to be a
• 34:01
  superstar a couple years ago after her
• 34:04
  performance at Syndicate or MAC.
• 34:07
  I can't remember which one.
• 34:09
  She came out of nowhere.
• 34:10
  She was in the top five after day
• 34:11
  two.
• 34:13
  And then we haven't seen her much since.
• 34:16
  But the prizes this year were first place
• 34:20
  got fifteen grand and a custom rogue
• 34:22
  barbell.
• 34:23
  Second got ten grand and a custom rogue
• 34:25
  barbell.
• 34:26
  Third got five grand and a custom rogue
• 34:29
  barbell.
• 34:31
  Nice.
• 34:33
  And I asked Carolyn, I said,
• 34:35
  how many custom rogue barbells does any
• 34:38
  girl need?
• 34:41
  She has so many from different
• 34:43
  competitions.
• 34:44
  She just got one from the Service Cup.
• 34:48
  She's gotten one from these events in the
• 34:50
  past.
• 34:53
  She is killing it,
• 34:54
  killing it with the Rogue Barbells for
• 34:58
  sure.
• 35:04
  Enough of them to have her own display
• 35:06
  case.
• 35:07
  PC says Gabby suffered a devastating knee
• 35:09
  injury and also has been busy with her
• 35:11
  military service.
• 35:12
  She's a member of the Space Force.
• 35:17
  But cool that she won five grand.
• 35:20
  She did.
• 35:22
  And a rogue barbell.
• 35:23
  That's pretty freaking awesome.
• 35:26
  I'd be fantastic with just the rogue
• 35:28
  barbell,
• 35:29
  if I'm being completely honest here.
• 35:31
  Ken Walter says she puts them on eBay.
• 35:33
  I actually was joking with her that she
• 35:35
  could build a fence in her backyard with
• 35:38
  all the barbells and have this really
• 35:40
  cool, like just made out of barbells.
• 35:43
  That's outstanding.
• 35:46
  Yeah.
• 35:46
  She literally has some in California,
• 35:49
  some at her gym, some at her apartment.
• 35:54
  Like she has them scattered all over.
• 35:57
  Scott,
• 35:57
  you never know when you're going to need
• 35:58
  a barbell.
• 35:58
  Hey, I get it.
• 36:01
  I get it.
• 36:04
  I get it.
• 36:05
  You never know when it, the,
• 36:07
  the opportunity to overhead squat just
• 36:09
  comes upon you and you just need to
• 36:11
  do it.
• 36:14
  And it's better to have it and not
• 36:16
  need it than needed and not have it
• 36:19
  any day of the week.
• 36:24
  Yeah.
• 36:24
  Barbell in each hand.
• 36:27
  Then you could end up on some Russian
• 36:30
  Instagram reel doing some crazy shit like
• 36:32
  that.
• 36:34
  Or it's like two ball wall balling.
• 36:37
  Have you seen that?
• 36:40
  Yes.
• 36:40
  Thank you, Travis Mayer,
• 36:41
  for deciding that the world needed to see
• 36:44
  that.
• 36:51
  The one thing that I do not want
• 36:53
  to meet,
• 36:54
  want to happen in my life is for
• 36:56
  balls to hit me in the face.
• 36:58
  Especially not two giant ones.
• 37:00
  Correct.
• 37:01
  Correct.
• 37:03
  So I would avoid things that would create
• 37:06
  that from happening.
• 37:11
  Travis is built different.
• 37:13
  Just saying.
• 37:16
  Travis is built different.
• 37:18
  Just throwing that out there.
• 37:26
  One of our email company athletes.
• 37:29
  That's what she said.
• 37:36
  Trish says our goals are so different.
• 37:41
  Yeah.
• 37:41
  She's not wrong.
• 37:43
  They were not two twenty pounders.
• 37:44
  They were two fourteen pounders.
• 37:47
  He did say he was trying this with...
• 37:53
  Uh,
• 37:53
  he was trying this with the fourteen
• 37:54
  pounders at this point.
• 38:00
  Uh, two is one and one is none.
• 38:04
  If you got two, you got one.
• 38:06
  If you only got one,
• 38:07
  you really ain't got none.
• 38:11
  Uh,
• 38:12
  Trad Nice says Ackerman and Muir have
• 38:13
  signed now, too.
• 38:15
  Jason Ackerman?
• 38:16
  Why do the pres- Nate Ackerman, dude.
• 38:17
  Nate Ackerman.
• 38:21
  why release it then?
• 38:22
  Why release it early and then have them
• 38:24
  trickle in some more?
• 38:25
  Just finish the list.
• 38:29
  This is who signed in the first window.
• 38:33
  I didn't even know the window was open.
• 38:34
  If you just kept it to yourself and
• 38:36
  then told me all the people,
• 38:37
  I wouldn't even know there was an issue.
• 38:44
  This is who signed up.
• 38:46
  The window is now closed.
• 38:47
  You don't even mention the people that
• 38:49
  didn't sign up because they're not
• 38:50
  important at that point.
• 38:52
  This is how many we have.
• 38:53
  We are now backfilling from there going
• 38:56
  forward.
• 38:56
  It's really, really good.
• 39:01
  Andrew Sten says,
• 39:02
  I've got ACDC in my head now.
• 39:04
  We've got the biggest balls of them all.
• 39:08
  My balls are always bouncing from the left
• 39:11
  to the right.
• 39:11
  It's a
• 39:14
  The first time I ever heard that song,
• 39:15
  I was the bus driver on the way
• 39:18
  to school had on like the classic rock
• 39:20
  station and it just happened to come on.
• 39:23
  And I was like,
• 39:24
  what am I listening to right now?
• 39:26
  What is happening?
• 39:29
  Yeah.
• 39:29
  I actually have that on vinyl.
• 39:32
  That's unsurprising.
• 39:34
  It does not surprise me.
• 39:36
  I need to add to my vinyl collection,
• 39:38
  man.
• 39:38
  My wife got me a record player for
• 39:39
  Christmas two years ago and I need more
• 39:42
  records.
• 39:43
  Yeah,
• 39:43
  that is something my wife would never say
• 39:45
  to me,
• 39:45
  is make your vinyl collection bigger.
• 39:48
  Because it's already taking up half of our
• 39:51
  dining room.
• 39:51
  I mean, it's just half, Scott.
• 39:58
  Tread and I says they can't have a
• 39:59
  campaign for clicks.
• 40:01
  I'm okay with the campaign when they were
• 40:02
  releasing the Instagrams at one at a time.
• 40:05
  Like I was like, cool.
• 40:06
  Sydney signed.
• 40:07
  Cool.
• 40:08
  Chandler signed.
• 40:09
  But when you do a press release and
• 40:11
  say these ten have signed,
• 40:13
  that's where I just think it was like
• 40:14
  a little premature,
• 40:15
  especially less than a day later.
• 40:18
  Now we're getting more trickled in.
• 40:20
  It's just odd.
• 40:24
  Yeah, right.
• 40:26
  It's like being different for different
• 40:27
  just just for different sake.
• 40:28
  I'm all for if they want to laugh,
• 40:30
  hey,
• 40:30
  this person just signed this person to
• 40:31
  sign make them their own Instagram post.
• 40:34
  You're gonna get clicks,
• 40:34
  you're gonna get views,
• 40:35
  you're gonna get all of that stuff.
• 40:36
  But the weird press release were like
• 40:38
  these ten people sign in the next day
• 40:41
  you add to it next day you add
• 40:42
  to it like if you want to make
• 40:43
  it for clicks,
• 40:44
  give them each their own story.
• 40:46
  Like that would make a whole lot more
• 40:48
  sense.
• 40:54
  Treadnought, you're missing the point.
• 40:56
  I don't like the Instagram posts are fine.
• 40:58
  I don't care when they signed.
• 41:00
  Don't care.
• 41:01
  And I don't care about the campaign they
• 41:03
  put out.
• 41:03
  That's fine.
• 41:04
  Makes sense.
• 41:05
  I was like, hey, cool.
• 41:06
  This happened for these people.
• 41:08
  When you do a press release to the
• 41:09
  media that these ten have signed,
• 41:12
  you then assume there is some
• 41:13
  definitiveness to this press release.
• 41:17
  And it's not definitive.
• 41:19
  It was just a partway point.
• 41:21
  We don't even know what point in the
• 41:23
  partway we're at.
• 41:24
  And we don't know who's left and who
• 41:26
  has declined or any of that stuff.
• 41:28
  It's just,
• 41:29
  it leaves it open for speculation.
• 41:31
  That is all.
• 41:32
  Yeah.
• 41:35
  I think Freda's got a solid point too.
• 41:39
  Those who are fast to sign are the
• 41:41
  athletes that have a real fight to reach
• 41:42
  the games.
• 41:46
  Yeah.
• 41:47
  By and large.
• 41:51
  By and large.
• 41:53
  Yeah.
• 41:56
  Yeah.
• 41:57
  Hey, they are finding a way to compete.
• 42:01
  Good on them.
• 42:03
  Wish them all luck in the world.
• 42:11
  Leave it alone.
• 42:12
  Just move on.
• 42:16
  Yeah.
• 42:18
  Yeah.
• 42:18
  Um, anyway, so,
• 42:22
  so there's pretty much things of the news
• 42:24
  today.
• 42:25
  Uh, you got anything going on tonight?
• 42:30
  Uh, train's actually going really,
• 42:31
  really well.
• 42:32
  Um,
• 42:34
  getting my pieces and working my way
• 42:36
  through this two K road progression.
• 42:38
  My coach is making me do,
• 42:40
  cause apparently he hates me completely
• 42:43
  wants to see me in pain.
• 42:44
  Um,
• 42:45
  Oh,
• 42:46
  I had five meter repeat yesterday morning
• 42:49
  with a like a basically a nine or
• 42:53
  P with a two minute Yeah,
• 42:58
  two minute rest in between.
• 43:00
  And I usually do that.
• 43:02
  I'll do that in the morning, or whatever,
• 43:05
  like just straight Monica monostructural
• 43:06
  piece and I'll do my my accessories after
• 43:09
  and after I got done with that yesterday
• 43:11
  morning, I went walked outside.
• 43:13
  to recover from the recovery row that we
• 43:16
  had scheduled at the end of it.
• 43:18
  And I told Aaron who was coaching,
• 43:19
  I said,
• 43:20
  if you hear me get hit by a
• 43:21
  truck, do not call nine one one.
• 43:25
  Just let me die in peace.
• 43:27
  Cause I am not over it.
• 43:32
  It'll be fine.
• 43:33
  I'll be okay.
• 43:34
  But no trains are going really well.
• 43:36
  Um,
• 43:37
  I actually feel pretty good feeling pretty
• 43:39
  strong.
• 43:40
  Nutrition is dialed in to what we're doing
• 43:42
  right now.
• 43:44
  Got a little local comp me and Blair
• 43:48
  are going to be doing the beginning of
• 43:50
  February just to have something to do and
• 43:52
  go compete.
• 43:53
  It's fun.
• 43:55
  About to sign up for the Monster Games
• 43:57
  qualifiers that start at the end of the
• 43:59
  month because I think I'm going to try
• 44:00
  to make my way back over there because
• 44:02
  that was a good show last year.
• 44:03
  It was fun times.
• 44:05
  Good competition.
• 44:07
  A couple of events aside,
• 44:08
  I should have been fighting for the
• 44:09
  podium.
• 44:12
  I saw some comments earlier ask about did
• 44:14
  we see the media bracket that John and
• 44:17
  Claire did on WOD Prep Podcast on Monday
• 44:20
  night?
• 44:20
  I didn't see it.
• 44:23
  I didn't comment on it just because...
• 44:26
  Okay, I'm going to preface it with this.
• 44:29
  I do a daily show.
• 44:30
  I know how hard it is to come
• 44:31
  up with content every day.
• 44:33
  Sometimes you're just looking for
• 44:34
  inspiration to talk about anything in the
• 44:35
  space.
• 44:38
  And having a media bracket is cool.
• 44:41
  It's a good discussion topic.
• 44:43
  It's fun to kind of walk through the
• 44:45
  whole thing.
• 44:47
  They said nice things about this channel
• 44:49
  and the people on it.
• 44:53
  But at the end of the day,
• 44:54
  it's John's opinion as to who is the
• 44:57
  most positive influence in the space and
• 45:01
  Claire's.
• 45:02
  And they're entitled to those opinions.
• 45:04
  And it was a good discussion topic.
• 45:06
  And it was a decent listen for that.
• 45:11
  Do I put relevance in where everybody
• 45:12
  landed on the bracket?
• 45:14
  Yeah.
• 45:16
  Seating mattered a lot in this one,
• 45:21
  but it was fun.
• 45:23
  I mean, I listened to the whole thing.
• 45:24
  It was good.
• 45:26
  I need to finish it,
• 45:26
  and I haven't listened to all of it
• 45:28
  yet.
• 45:30
  Let me address this real quick.
• 45:32
  Andrew,
• 45:32
  am I ready for the cold this weekend?
• 45:34
  As ready as I can be, brother.
• 45:37
  My fireplace runs off gas, and it works.
• 45:40
  My daughter is extremely excited because
• 45:43
  it's supposed to snow again.
• 45:46
  uh up to two inches scott huh wow
• 45:51
  hey last year we got a foot dude
• 45:53
  so like um and i tried to temper
• 45:57
  her expectations this morning a little bit
• 45:59
  because i was like look i know it
• 46:00
  says they're giving snow on sunday but
• 46:03
  that doesn't mean it's actually gonna snow
• 46:05
  so like i need you to pump the
• 46:07
  brakes a little bit um and then
• 46:12
  Peter Benoit, Corey,
• 46:13
  would you go back to Legends next year
• 46:15
  if there is one in December?
• 46:20
  It's a solid maybe.
• 46:23
  The reason being is that if I'd have
• 46:25
  known there was only going to be six
• 46:26
  events this year,
• 46:27
  I wouldn't have wasted my time.
• 46:30
  really let me not say wasted my time
• 46:32
  because it wasn't a waste of time i
• 46:33
  did have fun i didn't get to compete
• 46:35
  against some of the best athletes in the
• 46:36
  world in my age group um learned learned
• 46:40
  a ton about myself but it's a lot
• 46:44
  of money to travel to stay to eat
• 46:50
  to do all the things for six events
• 46:54
  possibly five if you didn't make the last
• 46:56
  heat and i didn't make the last heat
• 47:00
  It just didn't seem financially,
• 47:02
  it didn't seem worth it.
• 47:04
  And so if I can, if we can,
• 47:07
  when the qualifiers come about,
• 47:09
  come around and if they say,
• 47:13
  or if we can, you know, get that,
• 47:14
  get that kind of answer out of Joe
• 47:16
  saying, Hey, look,
• 47:16
  we're going to do eight events.
• 47:21
  you know,
• 47:21
  especially with two of them being straight
• 47:23
  up specialty events,
• 47:24
  like a swim and a lift.
• 47:27
  Hey,
• 47:27
  we're actually going to do eight events
• 47:29
  this year and maybe not cut everybody,
• 47:31
  maybe cut the field down a little bit.
• 47:32
  I understand why they invite so many
• 47:34
  people because they, you know,
• 47:35
  registration brings money in.
• 47:37
  I get that.
• 47:38
  But if you cut the field down a
• 47:40
  little bit where everybody competes the
• 47:42
  entire weekend,
• 47:42
  it makes a whole lot more sense to
• 47:44
  me for the people that
• 47:46
  traveling from literally all over the
• 47:48
  world we had south americans we had an
• 47:49
  australian or two like it's pretty wild
• 47:52
  but if they don't if it's just going
• 47:56
  to be you know three days with two
• 48:00
  events a day again no probably not which
• 48:03
  is sad because i really like going over
• 48:05
  there uh the cup made it less worth
• 48:07
  it for sure yeah
• 48:13
  uh ken walters my mom's place one hour
• 48:15
  from the border negative forty four could
• 48:17
  be coming with negative thirty wind chill
• 48:19
  friday uh toughen up on your cold corey
• 48:23
  yeah um move out of the frozen north
• 48:26
  ken i live an hour and a half
• 48:28
  from the gulf of mexico well three hours
• 48:32
  from the gulf next it depends on which
• 48:33
  way which direction i go it's it don't
• 48:36
  get that cold down there that's why i
• 48:38
  don't want to live anywhere else i don't
• 48:40
  like it period
• 48:45
  Yeah.
• 48:45
  Oh, this is fun.
• 48:46
  Um, at the end of the day,
• 48:50
  I think the most important thing from
• 48:51
  today is like, where,
• 48:54
  where are our priorities when we're in
• 48:56
  doing wildcard invites, uh,
• 48:59
  for people to events?
• 49:00
  I think that's the main takeaway from
• 49:01
  today.
• 49:03
  And that I can't believe Kenneth,
• 49:04
  the lap and is in every chat on
• 49:06
  YouTube, but doesn't have an Instagram.
• 49:08
  Those are my two takeaways for the day.
• 49:14
  Those are solid.
• 49:14
  That's solid.
• 49:15
  That is definitely solid.
• 49:17
  I like it.
