• 1:08
  I got a bone to pick with
• 1:09
  you corey I was watching
• 1:11
  cat show from last night
• 1:14
  and I think your quote was
• 1:16
  hey cat this is the best
• 1:17
  show on the channel dude
• 1:20
  you're on the channel
• 1:24
  You were on the channel.
• 1:28
  I'm just kidding.
• 1:29
  Cat show was great last night.
• 1:33
  If you had any doubts that
• 1:35
  she was going to be
• 1:35
  completely transparent,
• 1:37
  those doubts had to have
• 1:38
  gone away last night
• 1:42
  because she told everything how it was,
• 1:50
  man.
• 1:53
  So yeah, if you have not seen the show,
• 1:57
  I know it's starting to
• 1:58
  become everybody's favorite date show.
• 2:00
  So make sure you check that,
• 2:01
  that check that out every
• 2:03
  week on Wednesday at five
• 2:05
  PM Eastern time.
• 2:08
  Um,
• 2:09
  and encourage her to
• 2:12
  encourage her to keep doing it.
• 2:14
  Um, she's three weeks in, man, we gotta,
• 2:16
  we gotta make sure she
• 2:16
  keeps doing it and whether
• 2:18
  it stays with like dating
• 2:20
  and maybe she finds someone,
• 2:21
  maybe it evolves into something else.
• 2:24
  Um,
• 2:26
  she's just too good at like sharing
• 2:27
  stuff to not have a space
• 2:29
  on this channel and to have a show.
• 2:32
  So make sure you encourage
• 2:33
  her to keep doing that.
• 2:35
  Um,
• 2:36
  Because, yeah,
• 2:39
  I actually was listening to
• 2:41
  it this morning as I was
• 2:43
  trying to do some testing at work.
• 2:44
  And I've known Kat for five years.
• 2:49
  I know how she is.
• 2:50
  And it's so cool that she's
• 2:52
  being that way on the air.
• 3:00
  and and that's just how she
• 3:01
  is like when we were
• 3:03
  hanging out at a hotel or
• 3:04
  hanging out at an airbnb or
• 3:06
  hanging out at an event
• 3:08
  somewhere like she just
• 3:09
  that's how who she is um
• 3:15
  meredith says she lays it
• 3:16
  out there she sure does uh
• 3:18
  she ain't scared to share
• 3:21
  she put it all out there
• 3:22
  she sure did and andrew
• 3:24
  says if she finds someone
• 3:26
  though the show will end I
• 3:27
  don't I hope not I hope not
• 3:30
  just hope it evolves into
• 3:31
  something different right
• 3:34
  um because she has thoughts
• 3:36
  on a lot of different
• 3:37
  things in and around
• 3:41
  fitness and the space and
• 3:42
  life and kids and the whole
• 3:44
  thing and um and I I just
• 3:47
  hope it evolves uh as as
• 3:50
  she finds somebody because
• 3:52
  we don't want her to date
• 3:53
  the rest of her life just
• 3:54
  for our entertainment um we
• 3:56
  do want her to find someone
• 3:57
  during this process so
• 4:02
  I saw this on Instagram
• 4:03
  today and I think this fits, um,
• 4:08
  this fits my thoughts of
• 4:09
  the day pretty well.
• 4:11
  Uh, so I wanted to share that real quick.
• 4:15
  Uh,
• 4:15
  Mark safe from turning myself into a
• 4:17
  box stall today.
• 4:20
  My Instagram feed is so full of box dolls.
• 4:25
  I don't,
• 4:25
  and I don't even know how to do it.
• 4:26
  I, I'll be honest.
• 4:29
  Um,
• 4:31
  I try to keep up with as
• 4:32
  much technology as I can
• 4:34
  doing this podcast thing
• 4:35
  and coming on here every
• 4:37
  day and doing reels and
• 4:38
  different things like that.
• 4:39
  But, man, when it gets to the AI stuff,
• 4:43
  man, I am really,
• 4:45
  really way behind the curve for sure.
• 4:48
  So...
• 4:51
  I see them everywhere.
• 4:52
  Some of them are really cool.
• 4:54
  I really like the way that
• 4:56
  it adds the components
• 4:58
  around the side to kind of
• 5:00
  tell you about that person.
• 5:03
  But again,
• 5:03
  I don't know how any of it's done.
• 5:05
  So there you go.
• 5:13
  Andrew Sten says,
• 5:14
  it's like the aging thing
• 5:15
  from a few years ago.
• 5:17
  Something new pops up and
• 5:18
  everyone does it and it gets annoying.
• 5:21
  Yep.
• 5:22
  Yeah, I know, like,
• 5:24
  I did the AI thing where it printed out,
• 5:26
  like,
• 5:26
  twenty different versions of you in
• 5:28
  an AI.
• 5:30
  Like, some look like you were in Star Wars,
• 5:33
  some... I don't know.
• 5:35
  Yeah.
• 5:36
  That happened, too,
• 5:36
  and everybody had their AI
• 5:38
  portraits done.
• 5:39
  So, yeah.
• 5:42
  It seems like she can easily
• 5:43
  chat on any topic.
• 5:44
  She sure can.
• 5:48
  That's really how, like, we met.
• 5:50
  Like, we met...
• 5:52
  A mutual friend of ours told
• 5:54
  me that she had a really cool story.
• 5:56
  I had her on the show as a guest.
• 5:59
  It's one of the few people
• 6:00
  I've done a pre-interview
• 6:01
  with before because she was
• 6:03
  nervous and just wanted to
• 6:04
  kind of walk through it.
• 6:06
  And from that moment, we became really,
• 6:08
  really good friends because
• 6:10
  we could just talk about
• 6:11
  anything and anything.
• 6:13
  And it's been a fun five
• 6:15
  years having her as a friend.
• 6:18
  And it's really cool seeing
• 6:19
  her have this much
• 6:21
  popularity with a show and
• 6:23
  it be pretty successful so far.
• 6:25
  So yeah, awesome stuff.
• 6:32
  So I guess there's a bit of
• 6:35
  news in the CrossFit space.
• 6:38
  If people did not see,
• 6:40
  there was an announcement
• 6:41
  last night from one Miss
• 6:44
  Tia Claire Toomey that she
• 6:46
  was going to be saying
• 6:49
  goodbye at the Torian Pro
• 6:52
  to this chapter in her life.
• 6:55
  I know a lot of people are...
• 6:59
  hung up on the fact that she
• 7:01
  just is saying goodbye.
• 7:03
  She didn't really say she's retiring.
• 7:06
  I guess I'm having a hard
• 7:06
  time finding the clip she
• 7:08
  put on Instagram.
• 7:11
  But she's also on the Proven podcast,
• 7:15
  so here we go.
• 7:16
  She put out,
• 7:17
  this is from her YouTube video.
• 7:19
  It is a clip from her
• 7:21
  YouTube video that she put
• 7:22
  on Instagram where she talks about
• 7:32
  as most of you know in may
• 7:34
  I'm taking the floor at the
• 7:35
  torian pro and so it's been
• 7:39
  known that she was going to
• 7:40
  go to the torian pro uh
• 7:42
  there have been predictions
• 7:44
  that that would be her last
• 7:45
  event we kind of
• 7:46
  we brought up those thoughts
• 7:49
  on the Sunday night show a
• 7:50
  while back that is it
• 7:52
  possible that Torian be her
• 7:54
  last show or her last show,
• 7:57
  her last competition and
• 7:59
  her just walk away.
• 8:05
  And I think the only like
• 8:08
  feedback that I got from
• 8:09
  anybody was that it's a
• 8:13
  weird place in the season
• 8:15
  to kind of call it.
• 8:18
  because you're midway
• 8:19
  through the season and then
• 8:20
  you're just hanging it up.
• 8:22
  And so it just seems a little bit weird,
• 8:24
  the timing of it all.
• 8:26
  But I think if you look at
• 8:28
  last season and the way it ended,
• 8:31
  I believe that there was a
• 8:32
  good chance that last
• 8:34
  season was going to be it for her.
• 8:36
  But because of the things
• 8:38
  that transpired at the games,
• 8:40
  she was unable to retire.
• 8:44
  And I could be wrong.
• 8:45
  This is like a large
• 8:47
  assumption on my part.
• 8:48
  And then after the season,
• 8:51
  she started looking in
• 8:52
  other avenues to kind of
• 8:54
  find her passion.
• 8:56
  And, um,
• 9:00
  And she found it in some
• 9:01
  other things that she can
• 9:02
  put her fitness toward.
• 9:05
  And then she decided, Hey, why?
• 9:07
  I think just in the off season,
• 9:08
  she decided, Hey,
• 9:10
  I'll do the open enough to qualify.
• 9:13
  I'll get my invite to the
• 9:14
  Torian pro and I'll go back
• 9:15
  home and I'll say goodbye
• 9:17
  in front of my own fans.
• 9:20
  And I think that's cool.
• 9:22
  It's just weird.
• 9:23
  It's in the middle of the season.
• 9:24
  But I totally get why you
• 9:26
  would want to be in front
• 9:27
  of your home crowd where
• 9:28
  all your family could be there,
• 9:30
  all of your friends, where it all started,
• 9:33
  and you could finish it
• 9:35
  right there in front of everybody.
• 9:39
  So,
• 9:40
  although I do think it's weird in the
• 9:41
  middle of the season, and then, you know,
• 9:44
  it'll be one of those if she wins,
• 9:46
  she's not going, she's going to decline,
• 9:48
  so the next two people get to go.
• 9:50
  But I think we can live with
• 9:51
  all that for the greatest
• 9:53
  person to ever compete in
• 9:56
  CrossFit decides to hang it up.
• 10:03
  Weird to be winning two and
• 10:04
  then relinquishing that
• 10:05
  spot to the runner-up.
• 10:09
  think it's weird but she is
• 10:10
  the goat I think she's the
• 10:11
  greatest crossfitter of all
• 10:14
  time and if she wants to do
• 10:17
  it in front of her home
• 10:18
  crowd um this is the
• 10:21
  biggest competition that australia has
• 10:26
  um but if it is her last why
• 10:28
  not announce before touring
• 10:29
  to give her country time to
• 10:30
  buy tickets and so I
• 10:31
  completely agree t-bird I
• 10:33
  think that that's what this
• 10:34
  is about it is to get
• 10:36
  everybody that she wants to
• 10:37
  be there uh the opportunity
• 10:39
  to be there I'm sure she's
• 10:41
  told people close to her
• 10:43
  before this announcement um
• 10:46
  but I do think
• 10:48
  torian has never had a hard
• 10:50
  time selling tickets so I
• 10:52
  don't think like they were
• 10:54
  struggling to sell tickets
• 10:56
  but I um but I think yeah
• 11:00
  that's kind of it um might
• 11:05
  she just be stringing us
• 11:07
  along again will she one
• 11:08
  hundred percent compete in
• 11:09
  high rocks maybe go team I
• 11:11
  really I mean what else is
• 11:13
  there for her to accomplish
• 11:16
  I, I think like you've won seven times.
• 11:20
  Um,
• 11:20
  I think she wants to do something that
• 11:22
  challenges her, uh, helping says,
• 11:25
  and I did see this right
• 11:26
  before I went on air.
• 11:27
  Uh,
• 11:28
  she now has an hour long pod out today.
• 11:29
  Haven't watched all of it,
• 11:30
  but there are some tidbits.
• 11:32
  She says she isn't doing
• 11:33
  online semis that she
• 11:35
  started high rocks because
• 11:36
  CrossFit was moving more online.
• 11:39
  Okay.
• 11:42
  I know that she has said
• 11:43
  doing High Rocks gives her
• 11:44
  that community feel.
• 11:55
  Meredith says on Barbell Spin,
• 11:56
  they wondered if she was
• 11:57
  going to do Rogue.
• 11:59
  She's a Rogue athlete,
• 12:01
  so I'm sure she's going to
• 12:02
  get an invite because she is Tia.
• 12:08
  if she wants to do it or not
• 12:09
  at the very least,
• 12:10
  she's going to get an
• 12:11
  invite to be at legends and
• 12:12
  get all the same stuff that
• 12:14
  every other athlete gets
• 12:15
  and just get to hang out for the weekend.
• 12:18
  Um, so, but I, I,
• 12:23
  that thing that Mike said about, uh,
• 12:27
  that CrossFit's moving more
• 12:29
  online and her wanting to
• 12:30
  be more with the community,
• 12:33
  that actually rings out
• 12:34
  pretty true to me of a
• 12:37
  reason why someone would
• 12:38
  want to walk away,
• 12:39
  especially after seven titles, man.
• 12:41
  Like she's just, she's done it all.
• 12:45
  She wants to compete though.
• 12:46
  Like in competing online is not the same.
• 12:50
  I mean,
• 12:50
  I talked to Carolyn and Jamie about
• 12:51
  this all the time, you know,
• 12:57
  Jay Burch says,
• 12:58
  I hear Torian's a great
• 12:59
  place to volunteer.
• 13:00
  I hear Torian is just a great place to go,
• 13:04
  period.
• 13:04
  Like, it is a rock show.
• 13:10
  Darren Hunsaker.
• 13:15
  Darren Hunsaker said, dang,
• 13:16
  I was just about to post my retirement.
• 13:18
  I'll wait.
• 13:20
  Yeah,
• 13:20
  I think Darren missed that ship a
• 13:22
  while back.
• 13:25
  Halpin says,
• 13:26
  I could see her doing Waza
• 13:28
  Sokal again as well.
• 13:30
  Yeah, she's into that team stuff.
• 13:32
  And it looked like from the
• 13:34
  tier behind the scenes,
• 13:36
  she had every bit of the
• 13:37
  fire in that event as she
• 13:38
  does at any other event.
• 13:47
  have one criticism with the
• 13:49
  way that it kind of went
• 13:50
  down at tier so socal but
• 13:52
  I'm gonna save that for
• 13:53
  another time because this
• 13:55
  is about tia and what she's
• 13:56
  accomplished and the kudos
• 13:58
  that she deserves um moving
• 14:02
  forward because she is she
• 14:04
  is the greatest crossfitter
• 14:05
  I've ever seen um I think
• 14:10
  what's crazy is it
• 14:12
  completely changes the
• 14:13
  dynamic of this year's
• 14:14
  crossfit game season
• 14:16
  Because with her out and Laura out,
• 14:19
  it is completely wide open
• 14:21
  as to who is going to win
• 14:23
  the CrossFit Games this year.
• 14:26
  It is going to make it epic
• 14:31
  in a way that I have been...
• 14:34
  hoping for in a while that
• 14:36
  we just do not know who's going to win.
• 14:39
  And that's,
• 14:40
  what's made the men's side so
• 14:41
  exciting right now is you
• 14:43
  have a group of like five,
• 14:44
  six guys who all have the copy,
• 14:47
  all have the capability of
• 14:49
  winning the CrossFit games.
• 14:50
  And now you're going to have
• 14:51
  the same on the women's side.
• 14:55
  The predictions are going to
• 14:56
  be insane because it could
• 14:58
  be any of a group of
• 15:03
  Ken Walter says,
• 15:04
  must be nice to be able to
• 15:05
  pass up on three hundred
• 15:05
  fifty K automatic check for
• 15:08
  at least the next three to five years.
• 15:10
  Well,
• 15:10
  I think calling it an automatic check
• 15:12
  is a little bit of a misnomer.
• 15:14
  She still has to put in the work.
• 15:16
  She still has to go win the
• 15:17
  competition to get the
• 15:18
  three hundred fifty K. And
• 15:20
  this year it ain't going to
• 15:21
  be three hundred fifty K
• 15:23
  with the open signups.
• 15:25
  It is not anywhere near three fifty.
• 15:32
  But I get what your point is,
• 15:35
  but at some point her body
• 15:37
  is going to break down a little bit.
• 15:44
  Uh,
• 15:44
  T bird wants to go to Tori and just to
• 15:46
  see Mr. Mr. Perform.
• 15:48
  They're so great.
• 15:49
  Oh my gosh.
• 15:50
  I haven't heard that name in a long time.
• 15:52
  They were so big when I was
• 15:53
  in high school.
• 15:56
  So big.
• 15:57
  I had the cassette and I
• 15:58
  used to listen to it on my
• 15:59
  Walkman on my way to my swim meets.
• 16:04
  um ken says but she is tia
• 16:07
  she is but like we're all
• 16:09
  human we're all human and
• 16:13
  nothing in life is
• 16:14
  guaranteed who is next up
• 16:16
  to be the champ that I I
• 16:18
  would need to really sit
• 16:19
  down and think about who I
• 16:21
  think is next up to be
• 16:22
  champ and I want to see who qualifies
• 16:30
  I think it's much harder to
• 16:31
  qualify for the games this
• 16:32
  year than it's been in the years past.
• 16:34
  So I want to see who makes it through, um,
• 16:36
  before I really sit down
• 16:38
  and analyze who I think is
• 16:39
  going to win the games.
• 16:42
  So, um,
• 16:47
  but it it was just a crazy
• 16:49
  announcement um I I
• 16:51
  wouldn't say like I'm super
• 16:52
  shocked I I mean I heard
• 16:55
  John Young predict this I
• 16:56
  heard other people kind of
• 16:58
  predict it when it was said
• 16:59
  it made sense to me um so
• 17:01
  when I saw it it wasn't too
• 17:03
  shocking but what
• 17:06
  I do want to say is we'll
• 17:08
  talk about this more on
• 17:09
  Sunday night because I want
• 17:10
  to get Carolyn and Jamie's
• 17:11
  perspective on this.
• 17:13
  But she's the greatest
• 17:15
  living CrossFitter in the world.
• 17:17
  She's won seven times.
• 17:19
  Most of those years,
• 17:20
  it wasn't even questioned
• 17:22
  whether she was going to win or not,
• 17:25
  that she won by such a
• 17:26
  dominating fashion.
• 17:28
  But she was involved in
• 17:29
  probably the three best
• 17:31
  finishes on the women's
• 17:33
  side at the CrossFit Games.
• 17:36
  two of them she did not win
• 17:38
  when it was Sarah Catron
• 17:40
  and her in two thousand
• 17:42
  fifteen and sixteen all
• 17:45
  with a chance to win in
• 17:46
  both of those years going
• 17:47
  into the final event.
• 17:50
  That was amazing.
• 17:51
  And then in two thousand seventeen,
• 17:53
  the most epic finish ever
• 17:55
  with her and Cara Saunders
• 17:58
  going down the floor and
• 18:00
  Cara Saunders getting that
• 18:01
  no rep on the kettlebell
• 18:03
  overhead right before the finish line.
• 18:09
  And then Tia winning by just
• 18:11
  a point or two.
• 18:12
  I don't know the exact spread that was,
• 18:16
  but it was so stinking close.
• 18:19
  And people did not know
• 18:22
  which Australian had won
• 18:24
  until it was announced on the floor.
• 18:28
  But before her dominating performances,
• 18:32
  she was part of the three
• 18:34
  greatest finishes on the
• 18:35
  women's side of the CrossFit Games.
• 18:38
  And so because of all that,
• 18:39
  in the first two years,
• 18:40
  nobody even really knew who she was.
• 18:42
  She wasn't even in the documentaries.
• 18:44
  Like nobody filmed her
• 18:45
  because they didn't think
• 18:46
  she had a chance.
• 18:47
  And she finished a second,
• 18:49
  both of those years.
• 18:50
  And then in her coming out
• 18:51
  party to have that epic
• 18:52
  finish against Cara to win
• 18:54
  the CrossFit Games just
• 18:56
  took her to another level.
• 18:58
  And after that, there was no looking back.
• 19:01
  After that,
• 19:02
  nobody could even hold a candle
• 19:04
  to what she was doing.
• 19:07
  And then she dominated the
• 19:08
  sport from that point forward.
• 19:11
  And the only event she
• 19:12
  hasn't won since then on
• 19:14
  the individual side was
• 19:16
  Rogue when she came back
• 19:18
  six months postpartum and
• 19:21
  took second in that event,
• 19:23
  which is completely insane.
• 19:34
  Uh,
• 19:34
  the twenty sixteen doc was hilarious
• 19:36
  with them talking about how
• 19:37
  they missed her.
• 19:38
  That was twenty fifteen when
• 19:40
  they they missed her
• 19:40
  completely and she's in
• 19:42
  like the last two minutes of the doc.
• 19:45
  Twenty set twenty sixteen is
• 19:48
  where she had the meltdown
• 19:49
  after because she lost and
• 19:52
  she had lost all confidence in herself.
• 19:54
  And if you look at that
• 19:55
  moment and at that point in time,
• 19:58
  she didn't know what her future was.
• 20:00
  And then to see where it is now,
• 20:02
  oh my gosh, like the,
• 20:05
  the climb from that time at
• 20:08
  the end of the
• 20:11
  to what she became.
• 20:13
  I mean, she was beaten down.
• 20:15
  She was crying because she
• 20:17
  had lost all confidence in
• 20:18
  herself and the ability to
• 20:19
  win the CrossFit Games.
• 20:22
  And after that moment,
• 20:23
  she went back to the lab.
• 20:25
  She got her stuff together.
• 20:27
  She comes back in twenty
• 20:28
  seventeen and win seven
• 20:31
  CrossFit Games since.
• 20:34
  Only one of those years did she not win,
• 20:37
  and that's because she
• 20:37
  wasn't there because she had given birth.
• 20:41
  what what an amazing feat my
• 20:47
  my faith you know I started
• 20:50
  my my crossfit life and on
• 20:53
  the competitive side as a
• 20:54
  volunteer and I was
• 20:56
  volunteering at the games
• 20:57
  when that went down oh my
• 21:00
  gosh to be there that day
• 21:02
  for that finish was
• 21:04
  incredible just completely
• 21:07
  incredible uh one of the
• 21:09
  favorite memories in my life
• 21:12
  But you can take nothing
• 21:13
  away from this woman.
• 21:15
  What she did after that,
• 21:23
  she left everybody in her
• 21:24
  dust from that point forward.
• 21:27
  So super happy for her.
• 21:31
  You know, you can tell she is
• 21:35
  knee deep in love with
• 21:36
  Willow and loves that girl to death.
• 21:40
  It wouldn't surprise me if
• 21:41
  she wants to build a bigger
• 21:43
  family as well.
• 21:45
  And it's the perfect time
• 21:46
  for her to go do that.
• 21:56
  Corey Leonard says,
• 21:57
  I still laugh at Pat
• 21:58
  Sherwood talking about Cara
• 21:59
  being faster because she
• 22:00
  didn't do all the reps.
• 22:02
  Cara didn't do all the reps.
• 22:03
  It's faster if you don't.
• 22:05
  True.
• 22:10
  Still epic, epic CrossFit games that year.
• 22:18
  so uh that is the tia story
• 22:21
  um I'm we will talk more
• 22:23
  about it sunday night for
• 22:23
  sure um carolyn got to
• 22:26
  compete against her I'd
• 22:28
  love to hear her
• 22:29
  perspective uh and jamie
• 22:31
  has been around the scene
• 22:32
  for all of that I'd love to
• 22:33
  get her perspective so
• 22:35
  we'll talk about that for
• 22:36
  sure on sunday night and
• 22:39
  get some of their greatest
• 22:40
  memories of tia uh the
• 22:42
  other thing I wanted to
• 22:43
  talk about is and we've
• 22:45
  been talking about this for
• 22:46
  a couple days is the
• 22:49
  age group semifinalists are
• 22:50
  getting more validated
• 22:52
  videos over the last few days.
• 22:54
  And I said yesterday that
• 22:59
  that Carolyn got all of hers validated.
• 23:02
  She posted that on her
• 23:03
  Instagram and she ended up
• 23:05
  moving from third to first.
• 23:08
  And so she ended up winning
• 23:12
  She ended up winning the
• 23:14
  semifinal for the thirty
• 23:15
  five to thirty nine year old division.
• 23:18
  If all things hold true,
• 23:20
  someone would have to gain
• 23:21
  points in order to pass her
• 23:24
  and not have points taken away.
• 23:25
  But she has a forty a thirty
• 23:28
  nine point lead in first
• 23:30
  place now after all of the
• 23:33
  video reviews and hers are all valid now.
• 23:36
  And then I did find out yesterday,
• 23:39
  last night actually,
• 23:40
  that Jamie got all of hers
• 23:43
  validated as well.
• 23:46
  And she moved from eighth to sixth.
• 23:49
  So she moved up two spots.
• 23:52
  So congratulations to my two
• 23:56
  co-hosts as they are,
• 23:59
  now that all videos are validated,
• 24:01
  have qualified for the CrossFit Games.
• 24:05
  so uh I cannot wait the fact
• 24:09
  that they're here in my
• 24:10
  hometown man I'm like I
• 24:13
  know I have said I'm having a party
• 24:16
  I'm having a cookout.
• 24:17
  Something is happening here
• 24:19
  at my house that week.
• 24:22
  I'm celebrating what's going on there.
• 24:25
  And I can't wait to be able
• 24:27
  to cover those here in my hometown,
• 24:31
  sleep in my own bed for the entire week.
• 24:36
  That's going to make things awesome.
• 24:38
  So
• 24:40
  Couldn't be more excited about that.
• 24:43
  Now I've got to get my request out to Joe,
• 24:46
  see if I can do behind the scenes again,
• 24:48
  put together a killer team
• 24:49
  this year to make sure that
• 24:52
  we cover it well and get a
• 24:54
  good product out after all of this.
• 25:04
  Corey said there's been a
• 25:05
  bunch of movement in forty
• 25:06
  five to forty nine.
• 25:07
  I think people have been
• 25:08
  getting some serious score
• 25:09
  adjustments because I'm
• 25:10
  back to seventy six now.
• 25:12
  It's been moving a bunch.
• 25:15
  Yeah, man, you keep climbing.
• 25:18
  What,
• 25:18
  you're only forty forty forty six
• 25:22
  away now.
• 25:24
  Just forty six more adjustments, man.
• 25:32
  So.
• 25:34
  Yeah, I haven't done a deep dive.
• 25:36
  I know Halpin has like the
• 25:41
  spreadsheets with the
• 25:42
  Google Docs with all the adjustments.
• 25:45
  I haven't had an opportunity
• 25:46
  to go look at it yet.
• 25:50
  But it's going to be fun.
• 25:53
  It's going to be fun.
• 25:59
  Corey says year forty eight
• 26:00
  of not making the games.
• 26:08
  happens is my friend Dave
• 26:09
  Powell is second in six to
• 26:11
  sixty four my gym will be
• 26:13
  there in Columbus to cheer
• 26:14
  him on yeah I just want to
• 26:19
  and I could not be more
• 26:23
  excited for that at all I
• 26:25
  was I was telling my wife
• 26:26
  last night like my next
• 26:28
  couple weeks are insane I'm
• 26:30
  generally an extrovert and
• 26:31
  I and I am cool with like
• 26:36
  cool with like being out on
• 26:38
  the road doing stuff around
• 26:40
  people but starting
• 26:45
  tomorrow it's Easter
• 26:47
  weekend my daughter's
• 26:48
  coming home with her two
• 26:49
  dogs we're gonna have
• 26:52
  Easter she has to do some
• 26:54
  pictures some senior
• 26:55
  pictures for some people
• 26:57
  then we have to run her to
• 26:59
  get a pickup truck
• 27:02
  that she is going to use to
• 27:03
  go to Montana in,
• 27:05
  and then she's going to buy
• 27:06
  a car out there.
• 27:09
  So we have to get her and
• 27:10
  it's like two and a half
• 27:11
  hours away where the pickup truck is.
• 27:13
  So we've got to get her there.
• 27:15
  And then I get my second car
• 27:17
  back and we'll drive that back home.
• 27:20
  Then at some point early this week,
• 27:22
  I have to get in my car,
• 27:24
  drive to Pittsburgh,
• 27:25
  help her load up the pickup
• 27:27
  truck and the trailer.
• 27:30
  Then come back home.
• 27:31
  Then she's going to come
• 27:32
  across from Pittsburgh to Columbus,
• 27:36
  pick me up,
• 27:38
  and then we're going to head to Montana.
• 27:41
  So that goes all the way
• 27:42
  till the end of next week
• 27:45
  into the weekend.
• 27:46
  We're moving her into her
• 27:48
  apartment next weekend.
• 27:51
  Monday, I will fly home.
• 27:53
  Tuesday through Friday, I work again.
• 27:56
  Then that weekend is my
• 27:58
  mom's eightieth birthday,
• 28:00
  so we're going to
• 28:01
  Pennsylvania to celebrate
• 28:03
  her eightieth birthday.
• 28:05
  Then after that, two days later,
• 28:08
  my wife is having her
• 28:09
  second total knee replacement,
• 28:11
  so I've got to take her in
• 28:12
  for that and then be her
• 28:14
  caretaker after we get her
• 28:17
  home that Tuesday night.
• 28:21
  And then WFP is that weekend.
• 28:23
  And I think after thinking about all this,
• 28:26
  I'm just going to watch that from home.
• 28:29
  Because I just can't... I
• 28:32
  can't keep hammering the
• 28:34
  gas and expect to come out
• 28:36
  on the other side okay.
• 28:40
  So...
• 28:45
  So Denise said,
• 28:46
  my training partner has all
• 28:47
  her videos validated.
• 28:48
  She won fifty five to fifty nine.
• 28:50
  That's Cindy Hinkle.
• 28:52
  Cindy's awesome.
• 28:54
  So you should be so proud of her.
• 28:58
  So she took first.
• 28:59
  You took fourth.
• 29:00
  Awesome job, Denise.
• 29:03
  Probably doing what I did in
• 29:04
  Birmingham again,
• 29:05
  but would like to help Andrew Sten.
• 29:07
  I didn't see what Andrew said.
• 29:12
  I did take the advanced
• 29:13
  judges course if your team needs help.
• 29:17
  Um, maybe Margo will be in Montana.
• 29:20
  Maybe.
• 29:21
  I don't know where Margo is.
• 29:23
  I should reach out to her.
• 29:25
  Um, cause my,
• 29:26
  my daughter will be in great falls,
• 29:28
  Montana, uh, working for, I,
• 29:33
  now I can't even remember
• 29:34
  the name of the company off
• 29:35
  the top of my head.
• 29:37
  Um,
• 29:39
  So yeah.
• 29:41
  And then we're, and again, I've,
• 29:44
  I'm really looking forward
• 29:45
  to the time with my daughter next week.
• 29:48
  Um, and,
• 29:49
  and just kind of hanging out and bonding.
• 29:52
  Um,
• 29:52
  not so much or two dogs because I'm
• 29:54
  allergic to them,
• 29:55
  but we'll figure that out somehow,
• 29:57
  some way.
• 29:59
  Um,
• 30:00
  But yeah,
• 30:01
  it's going to be a rough few
• 30:02
  weeks and sometimes I just
• 30:05
  need to relax and I don't
• 30:08
  get that until sometime mid-May.
• 30:17
  Halpin said,
• 30:18
  even the old athletes are too
• 30:19
  fast for me to judge.
• 30:21
  Yeah, some of them are pretty damn fast.
• 30:25
  It is insane.
• 30:28
  Um, Margo lives in Vegas.
• 30:30
  She, she does,
• 30:31
  but I think that I still
• 30:34
  think she has property in Montana.
• 30:37
  I, I think I need to reach out and see,
• 30:41
  honestly,
• 30:44
  I haven't talked to Margo in a while.
• 30:46
  I used to talk to her all the time.
• 30:50
  So, but yeah,
• 30:54
  so that's next couple of weeks.
• 30:56
  And, um,
• 30:58
  I did break down and buy an
• 31:00
  iPad with self-service so
• 31:04
  that I could do the show from the road.
• 31:08
  Um,
• 31:09
  So we're going to do that as well.
• 31:12
  Um, so I think on my trip across country,
• 31:17
  um, I'm still going to do the lunch show.
• 31:19
  Come on.
• 31:20
  And wherever we're at, um,
• 31:23
  wherever we're at, we'll stop.
• 31:25
  Maybe it's Mount Rushmore.
• 31:26
  Maybe it's the Badlands.
• 31:27
  Maybe it's just some field in Iowa.
• 31:30
  I don't know.
• 31:32
  We'll, uh,
• 31:34
  We'll stop and hang out.
• 31:35
  It's not Iowa.
• 31:36
  I'm not even going through Iowa,
• 31:37
  but maybe one of the
• 31:39
  Dakotas or Minnesota or one
• 31:41
  of those places.
• 31:42
  I'll stop.
• 31:43
  Maybe I'll stop in Minnesota
• 31:44
  and see Ken Walters.
• 31:46
  Who knows?
• 31:47
  But we're going to take the iPad.
• 31:50
  We're going to do the show from the road.
• 31:53
  So maybe you get to see some
• 31:55
  sights and sounds of the
• 31:56
  road while we're on the way.
• 31:58
  And I'll do Sunday Night CrossFit talk,
• 32:01
  not this week,
• 32:01
  but next week from Montana.
• 32:04
  So should be really fun.
• 32:12
  Once everything is solidified,
• 32:13
  you'll be doing age group
• 32:14
  interviews again.
• 32:18
  Uh, should be.
• 32:18
  Yeah.
• 32:20
  I'm really slow for some reason.
• 32:22
  Like I've just been really
• 32:23
  slow on the interviews this year.
• 32:26
  Um,
• 32:29
  I don't know why.
• 32:31
  I don't know why I,
• 32:32
  I did the one with Ariel.
• 32:34
  I did Hattie Cano had Justin color on.
• 32:38
  Um, but yeah,
• 32:39
  I need to pick up the pace of
• 32:41
  that a little bit.
• 32:42
  It seems like everybody that
• 32:43
  pops into my head to have
• 32:45
  on the show has either just
• 32:47
  been on a show or is just
• 32:50
  going to be on a show or
• 32:52
  they're just going to a
• 32:53
  competition and I don't
• 32:54
  want to interrupt until
• 32:55
  they're done with that comp.
• 32:57
  So it's, uh,
• 33:00
  But yeah,
• 33:01
  the age group athletes are the
• 33:02
  most fun for me.
• 33:04
  And I really want to dive
• 33:06
  into that and dive into
• 33:08
  what happens at the games
• 33:09
  and doing the behind the scenes again,
• 33:11
  because that was so much fun.
• 33:15
  I have some ideas of who I
• 33:16
  want my dream team to be.
• 33:25
  So I want to put together a
• 33:26
  team that does some amazing
• 33:28
  stuff at the Masters
• 33:29
  CrossFit Games to get some
• 33:32
  fun interviews.
• 33:35
  But we'll see.
• 33:37
  We'll see where we go from there.
• 33:43
  Well, guys,
• 33:45
  it's been a wild morning at work.
• 33:48
  I think this is going to be
• 33:49
  it for today so I can get
• 33:52
  back to it and get caught
• 33:53
  up on all of that stuff.
• 33:57
  But it's been fun again.
• 33:59
  You guys are the best, as always.
• 34:00
  Love each and every one of you.
• 34:04
  And I know,
• 34:05
  I think it was that yesterday
• 34:06
  someone asked, Lynn asked about, oh,
• 34:08
  it was Sunday night.
• 34:10
  Lynn asked about meet and greets.
• 34:12
  We really got to get better about that.
• 34:14
  If we are going to an event,
• 34:16
  we need to set up like a
• 34:17
  meet and greet where people
• 34:18
  can come hang out.
• 34:21
  And the group that hangs out
• 34:22
  with us can hang out and
• 34:24
  get to know each other,
• 34:25
  the people from the chat, all that stuff.
• 34:28
  Yeah.
• 34:30
  so I will do better with
• 34:32
  that too if we're going to
• 34:34
  some event we will set up a
• 34:35
  meet and greet where we can
• 34:37
  hang out we can take
• 34:38
  pictures we can have fun
• 34:40
  whatever it is but we are
• 34:42
  definitely doing a meet and
• 34:43
  greet barbecue at my house
• 34:46
  for the masters crossfit
• 34:47
  games I am telling you that
• 34:49
  so there you have it uh
• 34:57
  halpin said you should own
• 34:58
  the masters interviews those are great
• 35:02
  I will do those again.
• 35:03
  Those are a lot of fun.
• 35:05
  And they're really low pressure.
• 35:09
  It's just... And this is just some...
• 35:14
  inside baseball,
• 35:15
  but it's the research on
• 35:17
  people that aren't super famous.
• 35:21
  Like I want to go into an
• 35:22
  interview prepared to be able to,
• 35:25
  if need be,
• 35:27
  carry the interviewee for as
• 35:30
  long as I have to,
• 35:31
  to make them comfortable to
• 35:33
  tell me stories.
• 35:36
  So it's,
• 35:38
  It's getting to know enough
• 35:39
  of their backstory from
• 35:41
  research to be able to like
• 35:43
  carry it until they get
• 35:45
  comfortable and open up and
• 35:47
  then tell their own story.
• 35:49
  That's kind of my plan with those.
• 35:51
  And so it takes a lot of
• 35:52
  work away from the
• 35:54
  interview to prep for that.
• 35:57
  I hope that makes sense.
• 36:02
  And Train to Live, if you have someone
• 36:05
  that you want me to interview,
• 36:06
  definitely send them my way.
• 36:07
  What I did last year is I
• 36:08
  just put out an open call and I got,
• 36:11
  I got a ton of people that, uh,
• 36:15
  that wanted to come on and
• 36:16
  be interviewed.
• 36:17
  I just put it out on Instagram.
• 36:18
  If you're a master's athlete
• 36:19
  going to the CrossFit games, hop in.
• 36:22
  Um, so yeah.
• 36:31
  Yeah.
• 36:34
  That's what I did and it was
• 36:35
  awesome last year.
• 36:36
  I actually got to know
• 36:38
  Denise from Legends the year before.
• 36:40
  I can't wait to see you too, Denise.
• 36:44
  Met her and Cindy the year
• 36:46
  before she won Legends.
• 36:48
  And I did an interview
• 36:49
  series where I did all the
• 36:51
  champions of the Legends competition.
• 36:55
  And then I got to know
• 36:57
  people even more with that open call.
• 37:05
  Ken Walters wants to know if
• 37:06
  helping is incognito.
• 37:09
  That's above my pay grade.
• 37:10
  I can't tell.
• 37:12
  I can see comments.
• 37:14
  So the software we have
• 37:15
  shows me comments that are
• 37:16
  happening on YouTube,
• 37:18
  even though I'm not on
• 37:19
  YouTube as we speak.
• 37:22
  And then it gives me the
• 37:22
  ability to pull those over or not.
• 37:26
  And it actually shows me
• 37:27
  comments from Facebook, Twitch,
• 37:30
  and YouTube.
• 37:33
  So...
• 37:35
  And thankfully,
• 37:36
  most of you on YouTube
• 37:37
  can't see the Twitch
• 37:38
  comments because they are
• 37:39
  wild and bizarre sometimes.
• 37:45
  But... None of them are...
• 37:48
  There's no comments from Twitch today.
• 37:50
  Thank goodness.
• 37:52
  I shouldn't say thank goodness.
• 37:53
  We love our Twitch followers.
• 37:55
  But man, sometimes they get wild.
• 37:58
  So...
• 38:04
  And Denise can see Halpin's comments.
• 38:07
  And so can Andrew.
• 38:09
  So it just must be Ken.
• 38:10
  All right, guys.
• 38:17
  What's been another fun day.
• 38:19
  I am actually starving too.
• 38:20
  I'm actually ready to go
• 38:21
  have lunch as the Clydesdale.
• 38:24
  Um,
• 38:25
  I made these really good burgers last
• 38:26
  night on the grill.
• 38:28
  And I think I'm going to go
• 38:29
  have one of those.
• 38:31
  Uh,
• 38:34
  I'm going to have one of
• 38:35
  those and what should I have with it?
• 38:39
  Maybe some veggies.
• 38:41
  Anyway, I'm starving.
• 38:44
  I'm going to go do that.
• 38:45
  You knuckleheads get back to work.
• 38:47
  Lunchtime is over.
• 38:48
  Thank you for being here.
• 38:49
  Love you all.
• 38:50
  See you next time, guys.
• 38:51
  Lunch with the Gladstale.
• 38:53
  Bye.
