0:32
what is going on how y'all
0:34
are we're here for cajun
0:38
wednesday and uh got my
0:41
buddy corey here um as you
0:43
can tell I am still in the
0:44
basement um the ship has
0:47
not left the harbor we are
0:49
still in columbus ohio and
0:50
my daughter is yet to get
0:51
here so she's coming here
0:54
right after show time
0:58
And then we're going to hit
0:59
the road to see this afternoon.
1:02
She got a trailer, got it to her house,
1:04
started putting stuff in it
1:05
and realized she did not
1:07
buy one or rent one big enough.
1:11
And so then it was decisions
1:13
of what are you going to purge?
1:14
Yeah.
1:15
And what are you taking with you?
1:19
So we might be doing some
1:20
furniture shopping when we
1:22
first get to Montana.
1:23
Yeah.
1:26
That's rough, dude.
1:27
I'll be sitting on the floor.
1:29
Yeah, a hundred percent.
1:31
That's probably a terrible feeling.
1:33
It gets there and you realize, holy crap,
1:36
all of my stuff does not fit in here.
1:42
that's not a good feeling
1:43
that's not a good feeling
1:46
she chose the bed the
1:46
dresser okay so solid um
1:49
and the desk chair but her
1:51
recliner is she put it out
1:54
on the curb and while she
1:55
was loading a guy came and
1:56
sat in it and kicked it
1:57
back he goes this is real
1:59
nice she said why don't you take it
2:05
he said really he's on the
2:07
phone with us when this is
2:08
all going down yeah and
2:09
she's like I'm moving to
2:10
montana and I can't take it
2:12
with me and he's like are
2:13
you sure because this is
2:14
real nice this is this is
2:16
real and get yourself
2:17
something nice for real
2:21
nice so he uh he folded her
2:24
up and took him took her
2:25
upstairs yes indeed oh that
2:28
was somebody in her
2:29
building yeah oh that's even better
2:32
They was going to bring it right upstairs.
2:33
If you change your mind, you let me know.
2:38
So a fabulous start to the move.
2:41
So if that had happened down
2:43
here where I live,
2:44
they wouldn't have even,
2:46
they wouldn't even bother talking to her.
2:48
They'd assume that since
2:50
it's by the curb that it's
2:51
up for grabs and they just
2:52
would have loaded it in the
2:52
back of their truck and got
2:53
tight with it.
2:55
That's how they do around here.
2:57
Like if you put it by the curb,
2:58
it's fair game.
2:58
Yeah.
3:01
She was like, hey,
3:01
I got a futon too because I
3:03
can't fit that in either.
3:06
Oh, she had bed and a futon.
3:08
Where are you going to sleep?
3:10
That's a great, great question.
3:14
You got an air mattress?
3:15
You might want to bring that with you.
3:18
I'm thinking I might be in a
3:21
hotel just to get away from
3:26
the stress of it all.
3:28
Yeah, moving sucks dude.
3:29
I am not a fan at all in.
3:33
When it was between twenty,
3:34
nineteen and twenty twenty,
3:36
we got our house,
3:36
had our house built and had
3:39
the condo sold condo sold
3:41
before the house was built.
3:43
So we moved from condo to a
3:45
rent house and then from
3:46
the rent house to my, like my permanent,
3:49
my permanent home.
3:50
So I had friends behind me
3:52
and essentially helped me
3:54
move three different times
3:54
because there was also
3:55
stuff put into storage in the meantime,
3:57
because not everything was
3:58
going to fit in the rent
4:00
house that we were staying at.
4:02
And I promised them that on
4:04
the last time we moved,
4:05
it was going to be the last
4:06
time I ever moved.
4:07
Like I promise you guys.
4:09
I will not ever ask y'all to
4:10
do this again because this
4:11
is the third time we've done it,
4:13
but I need y'all one more time.
4:16
One of the perks of being a, uh,
4:18
a member at a very,
4:20
very like a community at my,
4:22
at my box is outstanding.
4:24
Um, is that if anybody needs help,
4:26
like moving furniture,
4:28
whatever the case may be,
4:29
like all they gotta do is
4:29
put a call out and
4:30
everybody's everybody gonna show up.
4:32
It's fantastic.
4:33
Yeah.
4:35
We got Meredith and Andrew
4:36
and Kat already in the chat.
4:39
Hey,
4:39
don't forget Kat's got a new show today,
4:40
five PM Eastern time.
4:42
I know what I'm listening to on the road.
4:45
Absolutely.
4:49
Yeah.
4:49
So moving sucks, man.
4:51
When we moved into this house, we said,
4:53
this is our forever home.
4:54
Like we are not moving,
4:55
but now we're edging towards retirement.
4:57
Right.
4:59
And we have all this equity in this house.
5:02
And the property taxes here
5:03
are through the roof.
5:07
And I think that when we retire,
5:10
we're going to have to sell off the house,
5:12
use the money and just go
5:13
to like a retirement community.
5:17
Like they like here,
5:17
they have these things
5:18
called like fifty five and
5:19
over retirement.
5:20
And they're like spas,
5:23
but they're apartments for
5:25
older people who don't want
5:27
kids and stuff in their
5:32
development or whatever.
5:33
So that's the plan right now.
5:41
The neighborhood we used to live,
5:43
it's not quite the same thing,
5:44
but they have a whole
5:45
section of that neighborhood.
5:47
It's a golf course neighborhood.
5:49
And I have a whole section
5:50
of that hood that is only for people.
5:54
Like if you have kids,
5:55
you can't move there.
5:57
If you are under fifty-five,
6:00
you can't like,
6:00
they won't let you buy a house there.
6:02
Like you go,
6:03
I used to run through the
6:04
neighborhood and I go run
6:05
through that part.
6:05
And it was weird a little bit,
6:07
not seeing any kids stuff anywhere.
6:11
Like, you know,
6:12
wouldn't have a ball in the street and
6:16
neighborhood that area right
6:18
there and they had their
6:19
own little like community
6:21
center type area that
6:23
nobody else could use but
6:25
the people that lived in
6:25
that port that's that
6:27
specific Florida
6:28
neighborhood um I don't I
6:31
don't mind kids for the
6:32
most part um but man the
6:35
other day I was going out
6:37
and our speed limit is in
6:39
our neighborhood girl on a
6:41
scooter shot right out in front of me
6:46
And thank God I was only going about.
6:49
Cause like,
6:51
and then you get these flashes like, man,
6:53
I, I could have killed her.
6:54
Like if I was not paying attention, dude,
6:58
I was, I was coming home one night, um,
7:01
from the gym and on the
7:05
corner by my street,
7:07
it's a two way stop sign.
7:08
It's a four way intersection or whatnot.
7:11
But where I was going to
7:13
make my right to go to my house,
7:15
there's no stops on.
7:16
And some kid on a four-wheeler came.
7:19
I never saw him.
7:21
I saw him when he passed in
7:22
front of my Jeep.
7:23
Same thing.
7:24
And it was eight o'clock at night.
7:26
I mean, it was dark outside.
7:27
It was wintertime.
7:29
And I just remember thinking, like,
7:31
whoever's kid that is,
7:32
if I'd have hit them, a couple things.
7:35
First of all, I'd have felt terrible.
7:36
Secondly, I'd have had to...
7:40
this whole conversation you
7:41
know with this kid's
7:42
parents blah blah whatever
7:44
but at the same time why is
7:45
your kid out on a
7:46
four-wheeler in the
7:47
neighborhood that they're
7:48
not supposed to be doing
7:50
after dark no lights no
7:52
nothing and just flying
7:54
through stop signs like it
7:55
ain't no big deal yeah but
7:59
I've told you before on
8:00
this show like I am I'm
8:01
fully embracing the grumpy
8:03
old man in the house down
8:04
the street right like
8:07
hundred percent dude I tell
8:08
jennifer whenever we move
8:09
now like we're gonna have
8:10
an actual front yard
8:11
whatever where we're going
8:11
to which we do I said when
8:13
we get old like I'm gonna
8:14
sit out on outside and yell
8:16
at children like I have no
8:17
problem doing that whatever
8:18
that will get off my lawn
8:20
that's me right there all
8:22
day long what's crazy in my
8:24
neighborhood I don't know
8:25
if I have seen a regular
8:28
bike anymore I think every
8:31
bike in our neighborhood is an e-bike now
8:34
These kids are just like zipping around.
8:37
And they go pretty quick.
8:39
Oh, yeah.
8:40
We got a bunch of kids.
8:42
I say a bunch.
8:42
There's kids on electric scooters.
8:44
The problem in my
8:45
neighborhood mostly is golf course.
8:48
Everybody got a golf course in it.
8:50
They'll just be riding
8:51
around on them or have
8:53
twelve-year-olds driving them.
8:55
No, Meredith, it is not.
8:58
Well,
8:58
her first assumption is that Corey
9:00
lives on a city street.
9:03
Down in the bayou, you may never know.
9:07
Technically, it is a street.
9:09
We're not actually.
9:10
I live on Gator Lane.
9:13
It's actually called Coastline Avenue.
9:16
So, I mean, same thing.
9:20
But no, it's one hundred percent not.
9:22
One hundred percent not.
9:25
Kat wants to know how that's
9:26
not discrimination,
9:27
keeping people under fifty five.
9:28
I don't know,
9:29
because they're really
9:30
popular here in Columbus.
9:32
And they're these are apart.
9:33
These are like apartment
9:36
townhome type deals.
9:38
Right.
9:39
And they are they are very
9:41
restrictive of fifty five and up.
9:42
Yeah.
9:42
And I don't know because
9:45
they can call it a
9:45
retirement community or
9:48
that makes a difference.
9:49
I don't know.
9:51
I just know that that's what
9:52
the rules on that side was.
9:55
Like we couldn't have bought
9:56
a house over there because
9:57
I wasn't old enough and we
9:58
had a brand new baby.
10:02
So I see under your name,
10:03
you have the number seventy seven.
10:06
Yeah.
10:07
Yeah.
10:08
Officially the seventy seventh fittest,
10:10
forty five,
10:11
forty nine year old on the planet.
10:14
Are you embracing that
10:15
number for the next year?
10:17
Yeah.
10:18
Or are you using it as motivation?
10:20
Both.
10:21
Both.
10:22
Both.
10:23
I'm proud of myself, dude.
10:24
And I would encourage
10:27
anybody who is in my position, like,
10:30
because it's real easy to
10:32
look at it and go, oh, fuck, you know,
10:35
I didn't make it.
10:36
You know, I didn't get, I didn't get,
10:38
you know, I was born to, cat.
10:42
It's real easy to look at it and go,
10:45
you know, oh, I didn't make it.
10:47
Or, you know, oh,
10:48
I'm forty seven spots out, you know,
10:50
from a game spot or whatnot.
10:52
I'm proud of my stuff, dude.
10:53
Like I've worked my ass off
10:56
to get where I am right now.
10:58
And all that is, is, you know,
11:01
I told Brandon that the
11:04
other day is I can see
11:06
progress year over year.
11:09
Right.
11:09
I can see myself getting
11:10
better every single year.
11:11
Like,
11:12
that's why I encourage people to do
11:13
the open in general is that it,
11:15
that's a really good way.
11:16
I think Chase Ingram said it
11:18
the first time.
11:19
It's like, it's your yearly fitness check.
11:21
Right.
11:22
No matter if you're competitive or not.
11:24
Hey, am I fitter than I was last year?
11:26
Thanks, guy.
11:29
For me,
11:30
somebody who's competitive and is
11:31
actively trying to make the
11:33
games like this is a big jump.
11:36
This is eighty spots from
11:37
last year to this year.
11:39
And I'm forty eight.
11:40
I got one more year in this.
11:47
Larry Young is ten thousand spots out.
11:50
getting there larry getting
11:53
there hey I'm glad larry's
11:54
here because last week on
11:56
the spin he got he got a
11:58
good shout out from his son
12:02
his son said that larry is
12:04
probably the fastest
12:07
elizabeth or not elizabeth
12:10
isabel person for the first
12:11
fifteen for the first
12:13
fifteen the first fifteen
12:15
he could he could take on
12:16
anybody first fifteen matters
12:20
And I think he's talking heavy as a bell,
12:21
not just, not just,
12:23
but like heavy as a bell first,
12:25
Larry would take on all
12:27
takers and probably be in the lead.
12:29
Now what happens after that?
12:31
What happens on the backside?
12:33
Just saying.
12:37
Oh,
12:37
I want to know if Larry has a response
12:39
to that shout out because
12:41
John said he would do three
12:43
sets of five at that weight.
12:46
And then not real sure what
12:48
happened after that.
12:49
And then after that,
12:52
Then the fitness takes it over.
12:56
That's fantastic.
12:57
That's fantastic.
13:00
That's a pretty cool compliment.
13:02
If someone told me I was
13:03
going to be the fastest at fifteen,
13:06
I'd take that and run with it.
13:08
A hundred percent.
13:11
What I heard was the wheels...
13:17
Yeah, I think I heard complete train wreck,
13:19
but maybe that's how it got
13:22
interpreted in my head.
13:24
I mean,
13:24
I feel like the wheels would come
13:25
off a train if it got in a wreck,
13:26
so let's go ahead and leave that at that.
13:28
Dude, that would still be bad to the bone,
13:32
though, bro.
13:34
Yeah, I'd take it, man.
13:36
If I could do that weight
13:37
three sets of five, dude, man,
13:41
I'd puff the chest out a little bit,
13:42
strut around.
13:44
That's actually what I need.
13:45
Part of what my,
13:46
one of my training pieces
13:47
is this week is to hit
13:49
basically that weight for sets.
13:52
So we don't see what that does.
13:53
Like unbroken sets.
13:55
Three, not like huge ones, big,
13:57
like just three at a time.
13:58
Not, not five.
14:00
I don't know if I'd do five.
14:02
I've never tried it.
14:03
Scott, when I did to heavy Isabel,
14:06
that was the first time I'd
14:07
snatched one eighty-five
14:08
that many times ever.
14:10
Like much less in one workout.
14:13
It had never happened before.
14:14
I had absolutely no idea
14:16
what was gonna happen.
14:16
When they announced it,
14:18
was that Monday afternoon?
14:19
I did it Tuesday.
14:21
Well, I did half of it Tuesday.
14:22
And I was, until that time,
14:24
I had absolutely no idea if
14:25
I was even be able to do
14:27
more than five or seven of
14:29
them without blowing up.
14:30
And apparently I was okay.
14:31
So that was news to me.
14:36
was never like a high weight
14:39
snatcher I could cycle like
14:41
moderate weight really well
14:43
when I was at my fittest
14:46
but like I never put up a
14:47
big number on my snatch so
14:49
I haven't either I'm kind
14:50
of in that same boat like I am I am very
14:55
I won't say very good.
14:56
I am pretty decent at moving
14:58
high percentages for reps,
15:01
like my high percentages for reps.
15:03
You know,
15:04
I can cycle pretty heavyweight
15:07
fairly consistently all the way through,
15:10
you know, until basically I hit a wall.
15:14
not, not terrible at that.
15:16
Finding out that, like I said,
15:17
that whole heavy Isabel thing, that was,
15:19
that was a shock to me.
15:20
I was pumped when I finished it, you know,
15:22
well under the cap.
15:23
I was pretty excited about that.
15:25
So it's been a good season.
15:27
My, my CrossFit season is done, you know,
15:32
HQ season, whatever you want to call it,
15:33
game season, I guess you call it done.
15:35
But like, I got monster games.
15:39
Yeah.
15:42
Larry,
15:42
you'll trade Corey for a couple –
15:44
two and twenty-five
15:45
touch-and-go reps for a
15:47
couple minutes off a mile time.
15:51
I'm trying to think.
15:53
I think my fastest ever mile
15:55
ever recorded was six
15:56
twenty-one at the gym a couple years ago,
15:59
something like that.
16:00
Like I'm not a super fast runner.
16:03
Are you faster today or slower?
16:06
I haven't been running.
16:07
No, I haven't.
16:09
That was in –
16:11
was probably in twenty
16:13
nineteen because you're
16:15
better today than you were
16:16
two years ago oh god yeah
16:19
yeah corey doing legends
16:23
championship online
16:24
qualifier I'm doing legends
16:26
online qualifier and
16:28
masters fitness collective
16:29
online for qualifying I
16:31
don't know I'm if I make
16:34
legends I'm definitely
16:34
going to legends if I make
16:36
masters fitness collective
16:37
I don't know if I'm going back to
16:40
but I want to do it
16:41
regardless just to kind of
16:42
see where I land.
16:45
I mean,
16:46
it was thirty bucks to put a
16:48
qualifier or whatever it was.
16:49
It's not like it's a huge deal,
16:51
but I liked the program at
16:56
Legends last year for the most part.
17:01
And what I saw of Masters of
17:05
MFC last year because I didn't do it
17:09
I enjoyed.
17:10
So we'll see.
17:12
The only thing I don't like
17:13
about both of those
17:13
qualifiers is both of them
17:15
last three freaking weeks.
17:18
It's like nineteen days.
17:20
You have to do whatever it is,
17:21
five or six workouts.
17:23
And it's blindly the board
17:24
the entire time.
17:25
And that is bananas crazy to me.
17:28
Like, it's just too long.
17:30
Do we know where Legends is
17:32
going to be this year?
17:34
As far as I know, we're going back.
17:35
We're going back to Arizona.
17:37
Initially, they had a two-year contract.
17:39
Last year would have been the second year.
17:42
I don't know if they renewed
17:43
or... I don't know.
17:47
ASU was awesome.
17:49
That place was beautiful.
17:50
If it's there,
17:52
both of those are going to have swimming.
17:54
They both have swimming.
17:56
I'm swimming once a week now.
17:59
Larry says he's not
18:00
finishing the mile without some walking.
18:03
I mean,
18:03
I can give you a minute and I'll take my,
18:05
my seven, twenty-one for, for damn sure.
18:08
Just to be able to snatch
18:08
one at two twenty-five
18:09
would be fantastic there, Larry.
18:14
Most I've ever put up over my head, like,
18:16
as far from a snatch as,
18:17
as far as snatch is concerned,
18:18
or any snatch is concerned,
18:19
I was two hundred at this point.
18:22
Just because my technique is absolute,
18:24
is absolute garbage.
18:25
That's, I'm playing strong enough.
18:28
For me, like, I,
18:29
I couldn't put up much
18:30
snatching until I improved my mobility.
18:33
I had to get where the bar was,
18:35
was in a straight bar path.
18:37
The minute I let it get out in front of me,
18:39
it's over.
18:42
And so.
18:47
Yeah, that sounds.
18:48
Go ahead and read that.
18:52
Yeah.
18:53
Everything you do about training,
18:55
spend ten minutes a day.
18:56
You put fifty pounds on
18:57
squat easy in a month.
19:01
Yeah.
19:02
Yeah, I'm sure.
19:03
I'm absolutely sure about that.
19:05
Unfortunately, or fortunately,
19:07
however you want to look at it,
19:08
is that I got way other
19:10
things I need to prioritize
19:11
on than just my Olympic lifting.
19:15
I lift enough in our weight group,
19:19
in our age category,
19:21
that if there's a one rep
19:23
max snatch or some sort of
19:24
snatch complex or something like that,
19:26
I'll be fine.
19:28
I won't be at the top by any
19:29
stretch of the imagination,
19:30
but I also won't be at the bottom.
19:32
Like I lift enough to be,
19:34
to not completely bomb out.
19:36
What I need to do, what I have been doing,
19:38
working on is still working,
19:41
getting my motor up and
19:44
getting as gymnastic as humanly possible.
19:47
Like heavy gym or, you know,
19:50
a lot of gymnastics under fatigue.
19:52
Just got to get better at it.
19:53
Everything else I'm decent at.
19:55
You know what I forgot to do today?
19:57
Throw your dart.
19:57
That's why you're looking at the board.
19:58
Yeah.
20:00
I'm going to give it to one.
20:01
There's still time, dude.
20:06
A little bit closer.
20:08
A little bit closer.
20:09
I should have timed that
20:10
better when you threw it.
20:11
I was like... Isn't that cool?
20:20
Just so people can see,
20:23
I'm going to try to do this
20:24
if it'll let me.
20:30
Get yourself a picture.
20:45
So there it is, man.
20:51
I need to mute this down.
20:52
There we go.
20:54
I can't flip the camera.
20:56
Can you see?
21:01
Oh, so it's like on an angle from you.
21:03
Yeah.
21:05
Yes, Lord.
21:07
Look at a Pac-Man game, dude.
21:08
What's up?
21:11
So those are the darts from the week.
21:16
nice no no all right how do
21:20
I get out of here now kick
21:23
me out there we go I like
21:28
that I mean send myself an
21:30
invite so I can get that
21:32
dark cam up yeah uh
21:38
No, I have no idea.
21:39
None of this stuff,
21:40
or I didn't read enough of it.
21:42
I mean,
21:42
we get emails from legends about
21:43
once a week since I signed
21:45
up for the qualifier,
21:46
but I don't remember.
21:48
Denise might know if it said
21:52
that we're going back to Arizona or not.
21:54
So for the, as far as I know, I would say,
21:56
yeah, probably so,
21:59
but monster games has got swimming.
22:03
MFC would probably have
22:04
swimming in and legends is
22:06
going to have swimming.
22:07
So yeah,
22:08
I am swimming once a week until I don't.
22:12
Basically, it's what it boils down to.
22:14
Not that I'm going to be
22:15
Michael Phelps by the time we get there,
22:17
but I want to be
22:17
comfortable enough in the
22:18
water that whatever we do,
22:20
it doesn't become an issue.
22:22
You know what I mean?
22:25
It's confident, really and truly.
22:27
Learning how to breathe
22:28
while swimming is way
22:30
harder than anybody would
22:32
ever have made me believe.
22:34
It's like,
22:37
Yeah, just stroke, stroke, breathe, stroke,
22:38
stroke, breathe.
22:39
Yeah.
22:39
Okay.
22:41
It works really well for the first like,
22:44
fifty meters or so.
22:45
And then after that,
22:47
my body still goes into panic mode.
22:50
Like, I'm gonna drown at any given point.
22:52
I'm not.
22:54
I can't.
22:54
The pool I swim in, I can stand up.
22:56
I can stand up in.
22:57
That shallow.
22:59
Yeah, it's shallow.
23:01
It's shallow.
23:01
Which is fine.
23:03
Yeah, the first year I did MFC judging,
23:07
guys were just walking the
23:08
shallow end of the pool.
23:13
And they just kind of let it happen.
23:17
But that's not really swimming.
23:19
No, I couldn't.
23:22
Lucky me at MFC and at Legends,
23:25
I couldn't have walked in
23:26
that pool if I wanted to.
23:27
It's deep.
23:29
Yeah, they moved to a new pool.
23:31
The other one was outdoor.
23:33
Oh, yeah, no.
23:34
This one was at the high
23:35
school or whatever.
23:36
Yeah.
23:38
Which that place was.
23:42
They definitely have stepped
23:43
up in the last few years
23:44
with the facilities.
23:47
I think MFC has one of the
23:48
nicest facilities where
23:50
they hold the event.
23:52
Nice, big.
23:54
They did the stands way better last year.
23:59
So, yeah,
23:59
I thought it was... And they had
24:01
a live stream.
24:03
Yep.
24:07
Yep.
24:07
So I gotta give it to them.
24:09
I mean, I, you know,
24:11
it wouldn't have mayhem
24:12
live stream that they spent
24:13
a gazillion dollars on,
24:14
but they had something.
24:17
Yeah.
24:17
Only way my wife could watch
24:18
me at legends was if
24:20
somebody was on FaceTime
24:21
with her on the phone.
24:24
yeah legends that's their
24:26
biggest downfall in my
24:28
opinion it's a great
24:29
competition with great
24:30
athletes some of the best
24:31
masters athletes in the
24:32
world and you can't see it
24:38
no I'm telling you
24:38
beautiful facility and why
24:40
have the beautiful facility
24:42
if nobody can see it the
24:45
only and I won't say
24:47
necessarily downfall
24:48
because it wasn't it wasn't
24:50
unmanageable um
24:53
the warm-up area was odd
24:56
because some of it was
24:57
inside some of it's outside
24:58
yeah which whatever that's
25:02
not that's not I mean they
25:04
work with what they have as
25:05
far as that's concerned but
25:06
like the floor was
25:08
fantastic both sides great
25:12
place to watch the legends
25:14
at asu was awesome but you
25:16
know they've been they
25:17
started in california
25:19
And then they went to Mayhem for a year.
25:23
I really wish I could have
25:24
got... I would have loved
25:26
to have gone down there at Mayhem.
25:27
I heard that was amazing.
25:29
I heard nothing but good
25:32
things about when they did at Mayhem.
25:38
Yeah.
25:38
Yeah.
25:38
I was going to ask you something.
25:42
Old man brain.
25:45
What I was saying before,
25:46
I sidetracked myself earlier,
25:47
which happens a whole lot.
25:48
I told Brandon that being
25:51
able to see my progress
25:52
year on year and see that
25:55
I'm working in the right direction,
25:57
all that does is just light
25:58
more of a fire under my ass.
26:01
The fire that propels me
26:02
forward is seeing where I
26:04
am as opposed to where I
26:07
was and knowing that as
26:09
long as I stay healthy,
26:10
I am on the right track.
26:12
So, yeah, I am super proud of myself.
26:15
And again,
26:16
I would encourage anybody who is
26:19
has those same kind of I
26:21
got friends of mine in my
26:23
age group that we support
26:25
each other all the time.
26:26
Hey, man, you are fucking killing it.
26:29
If we get on the floor,
26:30
I am going to try to beat you,
26:32
but I'm still proud of you
26:33
because we are all doing everybody's.
26:36
you know, it is a master's age group.
26:38
Everybody's got jobs.
26:39
Everybody's got, you know, family, kids,
26:42
responsibilities,
26:42
whatever the case may be.
26:43
So to be able to do all of
26:45
that and still be one of
26:46
the top hundred guys in my age group.
26:49
Yeah.
26:49
I'm super proud of that.
26:51
Yeah.
26:53
I know what I was going to ask you,
26:54
like legends could hire Brian friend.
26:57
I hear he can do a full life.
26:59
Under a thousand dollars or under.
27:01
Yeah.
27:04
I heard.
27:07
with live scoring with live
27:10
scoring if he has the
27:11
people to man it he can do
27:12
live scoring and a full
27:14
live stream for under five
27:15
grand I would you know what
27:19
if I had five grand to blow
27:21
I would I'd hire him to do
27:23
legends whether I made it
27:25
or not just to see I will
27:29
say this when he's doing
27:30
what he's doing like him
27:32
running down the beach was awesome
27:37
People pick at him.
27:38
I'm one of them.
27:39
Here it is.
27:42
I think he's great for
27:43
smaller comps that you can
27:46
get around in pretty well.
27:49
I watched his Fittest of the Coast.
27:53
Pretty good coverage.
27:55
I got to see Jamie periodically.
27:58
It was good coverage.
28:00
I think when he does the European stuff,
28:02
it's fine.
28:03
When he did SoCal, he only did two events.
28:07
And so he could put it all
28:09
into those two events,
28:10
like run down the beach.
28:12
When he did Wadapalooza,
28:15
I don't think his
28:16
scalability to that was ready.
28:22
And now he's doing Wadfest,
28:25
which I believe is this weekend.
28:29
So we're going to see what
28:31
the scalability is again.
28:33
It's only a hundred and sixty athletes.
28:36
Oh, my gosh.
28:36
Eighty people in a. That is
28:39
like that's not even manageable.
28:41
I don't even I don't know
28:42
what they were thinking.
28:45
I don't get it.
28:46
It's not like it's where there's.
28:50
So we had going back to legend.
28:53
There's a there's a billion
28:55
people there competing.
28:56
All the women go in the morning,
28:58
transfers over to the men at night.
29:00
Right.
29:01
Runs pretty smooth there for all day long.
29:05
It goes age group to age
29:06
group to age group to age group.
29:08
But this is just two big
29:09
groups of AD people.
29:11
And generally speaking, I mean,
29:13
every other thing I've ever seen,
29:14
it's not the women all go
29:16
now and then the men all go later.
29:17
It's heat women, heat men, boom, boom,
29:21
back to back with no kind
29:22
of break in between.
29:24
That's insane to me.
29:28
I know nothing about logistics.
29:31
I know from the competitive side,
29:32
from where I'm sitting,
29:34
But what it takes to try to organize that,
29:36
bro.
29:37
So let me ask you this.
29:42
So they have AD athletes, right?
29:44
Here is Brian's rankings for WODfest.
29:50
Now, these are just twenty of the eighty.
29:53
Right.
29:55
Go down and tell me where
29:57
you think the legit shot to
29:58
get a ticket to the games ends.
30:02
you can stop right there at number ten.
30:06
I don't know.
30:07
I think I've heard of Moistus before.
30:09
Number thirteen?
30:10
Well, like,
30:11
I would love to see Shung Young Choi.
30:13
Okay, there's Shung Young Choi.
30:15
Like, at sixteen.
30:17
I would have her higher than that,
30:19
but... I've heard of Bella Bunger.
30:22
She was a team athlete with
30:25
the Oslo teams.
30:30
But...
30:31
Like,
30:31
there's a lot of names here I've not
30:33
heard of.
30:34
And I mean,
30:35
I've been a geek about this
30:36
sport for a very long time.
30:39
Yeah.
30:40
This is just the top twenty.
30:41
We have sixty other athletes
30:43
other than these people.
30:46
And Brian ranked them lower than this.
30:51
Yeah, because who knows who they are?
30:53
I don't understand the
30:55
premise behind it all, but...
30:57
I mean,
30:57
I'll tune in a little bit this
30:59
weekend and see what's going on.
31:00
So let me ask you this.
31:01
They do an eightie.
31:02
Is it all,
31:03
is it invite only or are they doing it by,
31:05
by, by ranking?
31:06
Like.
31:09
I don't, I don't remember.
31:10
And I see how it happens in the chat.
31:12
He might.
31:13
Yeah.
31:15
What they, how they selected the field.
31:19
Cause every, every in-person.
31:22
Qualifying event.
31:25
When you do a qualifier and
31:26
then do a lot of wild cards,
31:27
this is what you get.
31:28
Got it.
31:29
Kind of the answer.
31:31
Got it.
31:33
Catherine is correct, FYI.
31:37
So, yeah, that's, it's just,
31:40
and then you go to the men's,
31:41
it's not much better.
31:42
Like, you get down to like Louis Cielo.
31:49
I don't, I know Fabian Benito.
31:52
I know Braun.
31:53
Lungo.
31:54
mike mike waslowski was the
31:58
guy from uh monsters ain't
32:00
isn't it yeah yeah I
32:03
thought so uh moistus is
32:07
such an unfortunate name
32:09
it's a terrible name it's
32:11
not her fault it's not her
32:12
fault hopefully hopefully
32:14
she's not from the united
32:15
states and it's not not as
32:17
bad in a foreign language uh again
32:23
This is just the top twenty.
32:24
There's sixty more athletes
32:26
on the men's side and.
32:27
It you're going to have a
32:31
hard time getting me past
32:33
twelve or thirteen of these
32:35
athletes having a legit shot.
32:40
But again, I've heard of Victor Lung Joe,
32:43
but like that's beside, you know,
32:46
and I've actually heard of Wazlawski,
32:49
but like everybody else that's in there,
32:51
you know, that's below Braun.
32:54
Besides those two people,
32:55
I have no idea who those guys are.
32:57
And tonight on Kat's Dating Show,
32:59
I have a giant crush on Moritz.
33:04
Let's see where that goes.
33:11
Let's see.
33:11
Europe has Wadland Online,
33:13
French back-to-back.
33:15
Wadland Online, French back-to-back.
33:17
Going to be interesting with
33:18
big fields to try and get a
33:20
limited number of tickets.
33:23
Yeah.
33:24
Europe got screwed in this format.
33:27
So how many people is going from Watley?
33:32
Two.
33:35
Two men, two women.
33:39
Then you have the online in
33:41
affiliate semi.
33:44
Eleven worldwide will go.
33:47
And then you have French with two and two.
33:52
So
33:54
A hundred and sixty people.
33:55
And if you're WFP at that
33:57
same weekend of the French,
33:59
a lot of people gave up
34:00
their opportunity at French
34:02
to go back and perform at the WF tour.
34:07
So, yeah.
34:07
I don't know.
34:15
Kat wants to know if I
34:16
remember when Moritz sat by us at Waza.
34:19
Probably not as well as you did.
34:23
I'm terrible at math.
34:25
What's the percentage on that?
34:29
What is the percentage of
34:31
four of a hundred and sixty?
34:35
Well,
34:35
two and eighty is probably like two
34:37
point six percent.
34:41
Jesus, man.
34:44
That's rough guessing.
34:49
T-Bird is correct.
34:50
I agree with that a hundred percent.
34:54
This isn't the one that's up against WFP.
34:56
It's French Throwdown that's
34:57
up against WFP.
34:59
There's maybe athletes here,
35:01
but there's really only ten
35:03
with a legit shot to get the two tickets.
35:07
If that.
35:10
And depending on what the
35:11
programming looks like is
35:12
what that's going to boil down to.
35:15
Colin Bosworth's a bad dude,
35:17
but he ain't no bigger than...
35:24
Yeah.
35:30
How old is Yonikowski?
35:33
I think he's seventy six.
35:35
He's got to be right.
35:36
I feel like he's been around
35:38
since like twenty thirteen.
35:40
Now he's probably thirty two thirty three.
35:45
I mean,
35:45
he's probably around the same age
35:46
as Pat and Brent,
35:47
which is that he's got to
35:48
be mid ish thirty.
35:50
Yeah, thirty-one, thirty-two,
35:52
somewhere in that area.
35:55
So.
35:56
Calhoun, Anestis, I've heard that name,
36:00
but I don't know enough about him.
36:02
Kervis, I don't know who that is.
36:06
He's thirty.
36:07
He's only thirty.
36:10
Dang.
36:11
It's like a running back in the NFL.
36:13
He's only thirty,
36:14
but he's got a lot of miles.
36:15
Yeah, yeah, high miles.
36:17
High miles.
36:20
Junior high.
36:24
And those aren't the country miles.
36:25
Those are the city miles.
36:26
No, that's city miles.
36:27
That is one hundred percent city miles.
36:30
Yeah.
36:32
Um,
36:32
one of our best stories ever is about
36:34
Yona Koski.
36:35
Um, Kat and Amy and I stayed in a,
36:38
in the same hotel as him at
36:39
the games a couple of years ago.
36:41
And on Sunday we got back
36:44
and Yona was in the lobby
36:46
and he was having a good time.
36:49
Enjoying himself.
36:52
I think Kat tried to interview him.
36:55
while we were live on the
36:56
air um and he didn't
36:58
realize but he came on for
37:00
like three or four I don't
37:02
know maybe thirty seconds
37:04
it was hilarious it was
37:06
hilarious him and his whole
37:08
like crew were just
37:12
enjoying the post games
37:14
festivities I cannot say I
37:16
blame him can I say I blame him so it
37:22
Any one of those multi-day comps, dude,
37:24
it's a lot.
37:26
Like,
37:26
I can tell you that from the couple
37:28
that I've done,
37:28
from an athlete's perspective, like,
37:30
you are beat to shit by the
37:32
end of the weekend.
37:33
And, like,
37:34
depending on what kind of person you are,
37:37
just depending on how
37:37
you're going to be
37:38
recovering when it comes down to it.
37:43
I'll tell you the difference
37:44
between budgets in that
37:45
year and then the following
37:47
year is that year we shared
37:49
a hotel that Yonikoski was in.
37:51
The next year we shared a
37:52
hotel that Sporty Beth was in.
37:56
Ouch.
37:56
We need some sponsors.
38:01
Yeah.
38:02
Yep.
38:04
We need some sponsors.
38:05
We fell back a little bit.
38:06
I mean, sometimes it'd be like that.
38:08
Sometimes it'd be like that.
38:15
what's crazy I don't even
38:17
like it's been a long time
38:18
since I've talked about
38:19
sporty beth but she had a
38:21
documentary made by
38:22
crossfit about her
38:24
transformation I did as
38:26
well they came out around
38:28
like a week apart from each
38:29
other and we became friends
38:31
at the time well yeah and uh
38:35
And then she just drifted away.
38:40
Lost her mind completely?
38:41
Well, I don't know.
38:43
I didn't really have a lot
38:43
of conversations with her after that.
38:46
It just was like she got
38:47
busy with other things and
38:52
did her own thing and we
38:53
didn't really talk anymore.
38:55
And then she pops back on as
38:56
this kind of celebrity in
38:59
the Europe area.
39:01
And then the rest is kind of history.
39:05
I mean,
39:05
she obviously has a following
39:07
because we wouldn't know,
39:08
we wouldn't know who she was otherwise.
39:10
Right.
39:13
I mean, God bless her for that.
39:14
I wish her nothing but success.
39:16
I just wish she'd stop lying to people.
39:17
That'd be fantastic.
39:21
Yeah.
39:24
All right.
39:24
Well, I'm gonna leave that alone.
39:27
I'm gonna leave that alone anyway.
39:31
even though I don't have to
39:32
go back to work lunchtime
39:34
is just about over people
39:37
as always love catching up
39:39
with you brother y'all be
39:41
safe y'all be safe yeah
39:44
hopefully my daughter gets
39:45
here within the next hour
39:47
and we're on the road how
39:49
long to drive twenty six
39:52
hours should we do that two
39:56
days or three days
39:57
I think we're going to try
39:59
to stop at different places
40:00
along the way.
40:02
Yeah.
40:02
Um, and I, you know, Mount Rushmore,
40:04
the Badlands, um, stuff like that.
40:09
So we're, we're going to take our time.
40:12
Um, but yeah, we're,
40:13
we're going to probably try
40:14
to get on the other side of
40:15
Chicago tonight.
40:17
Uh, maybe to Madison, um,
40:21
somewhere in there.
40:22
And then we'll try to get up
40:23
to Minneapolis, um, tomorrow.
40:29
maybe, uh, have a steak with Ken Walters.
40:31
He is,
40:33
he's chomping at the bit to hang out.
40:37
And, uh, Ken, dude, Ken Walters.
40:41
I met him at the granite
40:42
games a couple of years ago,
40:45
just him and I, we were at the bar.
40:46
I was eating dinner after
40:48
the granite games was, was over.
40:50
And, uh, just sitting there,
40:52
met him out of the blue.
40:53
Didn't know him from Noah.
40:56
And we just kind of, uh,
40:59
hung out and chatted and
41:01
then Colton came in and I
41:05
had met Colton long.
41:07
We were the first person he
41:08
ever did a podcast with.
41:10
I would,
41:10
that was when he still had to mullet.
41:13
He had just cut it off.
41:14
Okay.
41:16
This was year two at granite.
41:19
He had qualified for the games that year.
41:22
He comes over and he just
41:23
him and Allie just hang out
41:26
with Ken and I.
41:28
for a couple hours because
41:29
Colton didn't want to go to the party.
41:30
He didn't want to go do nothing.
41:33
He just wanted to... He does
41:34
not strike me as a big crowd type of guy.
41:38
No.
41:38
It was just Ken Walters, Colton, Allie,
41:41
and me hanging out, grabbing some food,
41:43
chilling.
41:44
It was one of the best
41:46
nights of my CrossFit life.
41:49
Just hanging out.
41:53
Ken can be intense,
41:54
but he was really cool that night.
41:55
Like,
41:57
saw him at the games this
41:58
year much more intense this
42:00
year than he was at that
42:01
granite games experience
42:03
but he's a good dude
42:04
whatever happened to the
42:06
granite games so it got
42:09
bought out by loud live and
42:10
I think that they just
42:11
changed their focus to
42:12
other things when when they
42:15
couldn't be a semi-final
42:16
anymore and it's a shame
42:19
because it was really a
42:21
huge community event before
42:23
it was a semi-final
42:25
Yeah.
42:25
Well, that's mostly what I'm wondering.
42:26
Cause I mean, even if you can't be a,
42:28
you know, it seemed like a big deal.
42:32
I never actually made it obviously,
42:33
but like they were doing the,
42:35
we hosted one at our gym,
42:37
the little three person
42:39
throw down or whatever.
42:41
And like, it was fun.
42:42
I actually did three of
42:43
those separately at two
42:45
gyms in New Orleans.
42:46
And then we had one at our
42:48
gym and then COVID and then it went away.
42:53
So it didn't go away,
42:54
it just paused for that one year.
42:57
And then the second year in,
42:59
because it was in St.
43:01
Cloud forever.
43:03
And then it moved to Minneapolis.
43:06
And that was a COVID year.
43:07
We're coming out of COVID, twenty-one.
43:10
They didn't have the community event.
43:12
Twenty-two,
43:12
they had the community event
43:13
again with the semifinal.
43:16
So in the Vikings practice
43:17
field was the semifinal.
43:19
And all of the stuff around
43:21
the stadium was community event.
43:25
So you could walk outside
43:26
and it would be all these
43:28
community people going to town.
43:30
And it was really a lot of fun.
43:32
It sounds like fun.
43:37
And I don't know why they stopped.
43:38
I don't know if Loud and
43:39
Live just stopped focusing
43:40
on that and just went with
43:42
the SoCal thing.
43:46
But I wish it could have
43:48
went back to just being the
43:49
community event again.
43:51
because it was always well attended.
43:54
I think Cat judged there a
43:56
couple years before they
43:57
were a semifinal event.
43:59
And yeah, it was in St.
44:01
Cloud,
44:02
and it was kind of this backyard fun
44:05
games type community event.
44:08
I don't know why.
44:10
I don't know why it went away.
44:11
That sucks.
44:14
but it was really cool being
44:15
on the Vikings practice field,
44:17
even though I hate them.
44:17
And, um, I mean, yeah, be it as it may,
44:21
like you still were out there.
44:22
Yeah.
44:24
I mean, any,
44:25
I feel the same way with the
44:26
Cowboys stadium, you know, I am do not,
44:30
not a Cowboys fan whatsoever or,
44:32
or at the,
44:33
or at in Atlanta at the Falcons.
44:35
But like,
44:35
if I got to go to that facility
44:36
and go do some shit,
44:37
like it would still be
44:39
bad-ass to be there.
44:40
yeah and those there were
44:42
some great matches and
44:44
great races in those two
44:45
granite games that were I
44:47
remember like that's where
44:49
uh oh gosh what's his name
44:53
snatched like three oh five
44:54
or something like that uh
44:56
anthony anthony yeah aunt
44:58
davis I remember that I
45:00
guess that wasn't way too
45:01
long my years I think he
45:03
went more than three or
45:04
five I think he went like
45:05
three twenty three three I
45:06
don't know it was a lot I
45:07
remember that yeah it was
45:09
something stupid
45:11
Something I'd have to think
45:12
twice about deadlifting.
45:13
Yeah.
45:13
Yeah.
45:13
He, he was awesome.
45:17
And there were huge snatches though.
45:19
The women,
45:20
the woman on the team and ended
45:22
up popping,
45:23
but she went like two thirty
45:27
five to forty.
45:28
Jesus Christ.
45:32
Yeah, it was, it was insane.
45:34
That's bananas.
45:36
I just remember that was watching it,
45:38
watching the live stream and
45:41
was the first time I ever saw Colton.
45:44
And I was like, he looked like a kid.
45:46
He doesn't like a kid now,
45:47
but he really looked like a kid then.
45:49
And that's the first time,
45:50
that's when he still had the mullet.
45:51
And I was like, who?
45:54
I'm like, what year is it?
45:55
Did I wake up in Nineteen
45:56
Eighty-Four again?
45:57
Like, what's going on?
45:58
Why is this dude running
45:59
around with a mullet?
46:02
The second year he was in
46:03
the rope climb event,
46:04
he was in between Brent and Matt DeLugos.
46:11
So it's like DeLugos, Colton, Brent.
46:15
Yeah.
46:16
It was the craziest thing
46:18
you could ever see.
46:20
Six, two on one side, six,
46:21
eight on the other side.
46:23
DeLugos is what, nine feet tall?
46:24
Something stupid like that.
46:25
Like, it's insane, dude.
46:28
Well, that's the, uh,
46:29
that was the bar height change game, um,
46:34
semi-final because they
46:35
would not change the height of the bar.
46:37
And Matt was hitting his
46:38
feet on the ground, uh,
46:39
during the bar muscle ups
46:42
and the chest to bars.
46:44
Like how you not go look at him, what you,
46:47
what you want him to do.
46:50
Right.
46:52
And then we never saw him again.
46:55
Not much.
46:58
Still a good dude.
46:59
I still occasionally chat
47:01
with him on Instagram,
47:03
but still a good dude.
47:05
Oh, yeah, sure.
47:09
Someone gave Corey hope.
47:10
Are you talking about Colton?
47:13
I'm actually taller than Colton.
47:15
Not by much, but Colton's five-four.
47:19
I am five-six.
47:22
T-Bird says she misses Matt DeLugos.
47:25
I do, too.
47:25
Matt was just a great guy.
47:28
Um,
47:29
that was what I met him in person for
47:31
the first time at that
47:31
granite games and Alex,
47:33
both that day for the first time.
47:35
And they were hanging out
47:36
together and they were so funny.
47:38
Um,
47:39
cause they were like brother and sister.
47:40
It was, it was really cool.
47:46
Uh, he's up on the Cowboys, bro.
47:49
I don't have to give the Cowboys any shit.
47:51
They're going to make the
47:52
playoffs and lose in the first round.
47:53
Like they do every single year.
47:54
It's fine.
47:55
No big deal.
47:56
I don't know.
47:57
Last year, they made the playoffs.
47:58
I don't see them doing it this time.
48:04
Jeremy likes how you're put together.
48:07
Do I need to give you guys
48:08
some quiet time?
48:09
Jeremy's my brother.
48:15
Love that dude.
48:15
T-Bert says, the team of Khan, James,
48:18
and Matthew Lugos at water was great.
48:20
Yeah.
48:21
And Lugos was doing the shoeys and the
48:25
Yeah, that was awesome.
48:25
That was fun to watch.
48:26
I remember that.
48:29
Yeah.
48:29
And he anchored that team a couple times.
48:32
He was... At points,
48:35
it looked like he was the
48:36
fittest dude on that team.
48:37
And that's saying something
48:38
with Khan and freaking... Newberry.
48:40
James on there.
48:41
Like, that's... They destroyed machines.
48:47
Those people would destroy a machine.
48:51
With prejudice.
48:52
Yeah.
48:54
Yeah.
48:54
Like all these people claim
48:56
to be king of the echo bike, man.
48:58
Newberry was ferocious.
49:01
What was it?
49:04
Was that for ringer one and
49:06
ringer two at the game when
49:08
James just went bananas on it?
49:11
He emptied every tank he had
49:13
on those bikes.
49:14
I remember if they were
49:17
interviewing him after or
49:18
if it was on the documentary afterwards,
49:22
but he was like,
49:23
like yeah I didn't think
49:24
about the fact that I had
49:25
to go and do it again after
49:27
I did the first time and
49:28
said that that four didn't
49:29
really compute my head yeah
49:33
and good memories all right
49:35
brother everybody well
49:37
