We cover the sport of CrossFit from all angles. We talk with athletes, coaches and celebrities that compete and surround in the sport of CrossFit at all levels. We also bring you Breaking News, Human Interest Stories and report on the Methodology of CrossFit. We also use the methodology to make ourselves the fittest we can be.
So I'm going to let the cat out
of the bag.
Yes.
Every day before this show,
I sit and think,
do I hate and bash on the WFP
or do I let them be today?
Find out what our decision is next.
I love the chase and the hunt,
and I set the pace when I'm running.
I always take what I want,
and I always give it one hundred.
Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.
Play the game like it's nothing.
I'm always thankful for something.
Don't take for granted, stay humble.
Now wake up!
It's time to look at the enemy.
Look in the mirror if he is no
friend to me.
It's not working out,
maybe it's the chemistry.
It's time to break up so I can
make a better me.
D-O-W-N!
it's lunch time what is going on everybody
welcome to lunch with the Clydesdale it's
me Scott and him oh boy we are
here live lunch hour time we're definitely
live we are live live so if you
didn't catch my open
didn't catch my open we have to make
the decision every single day do we hate
on the wfp or do we let them
be for the day and the reason i
say that is i have one pet peeve
right every day i come on here with
my face with my name and i say
things right
My favorite thing in the whole world is
when people have burner accounts on
YouTube and drop into the comments and
call you a liar and a hater and
a CrossFit lover and all these things,
right?
And you have no idea who they are
because they won't identify themselves.
And it's okay for them to say whatever
they want.
without any repercussions because they're
not going to tell you who they are,
but you've got to be with WFP because
they know inside information that they put
in your chat that hadn't been released to
the public yet.
Super easy to hide behind a keyboard.
And two days ago in the thumbnail of
the show, it said,
why aren't people signing up for the,
for WFP?
They took that as a blatant offense and
a hate to WFP.
To WFP.
And... Anyway.
I hope my wife just placed an order
because I'm getting texts that it's
coming.
And if you listen to the show...
I actually say, you know,
they actually did have a lot of people
from their top twenty sign up.
And I did say that I think they
are right-sizing and getting into the
right path of where they will be
successful.
But they only saw the thumbnail and had
to blast me as a liar.
There is an unfortunate trend,
I guess you could say,
of people who just read headlines.
And just react to that.
And without putting their name on the
reaction.
Correct.
Correct.
They read a headline.
They react to that.
They're hiding behind a burner account to
begin with.
And they'll just say stuff.
Oh, you're just a...
Did you actually listen to anything I
said?
No, no, no.
I just read the headline.
In my response back,
which I have not been responding,
but I did, I said, well,
thank you for not listening to the show.
Appreciate it.
Vicky says, cowards, I'd use other words,
but I'll keep it civil.
Lito, CrossFit lovers and insult,
apparently.
Yeah, I don't get that.
As I sit here in my open twenty
twenty six shirt.
Very nice.
Right.
It's just crazy to me.
And the whole thing is wild.
And you want to spend and I'm only
assuming.
with some evidence that you work for WFP
because you know this information.
I'm only assuming that.
But you want to spend your time coming
into little old me's chat with a couple
hundred viewers a day and the comments and
blast me instead of making sure that
you've updated your rulebook correctly for
the upcoming season.
Or literally doing anything else to help
yourself.
Right?
How about be productive?
How about find ways to correct the issues
you've had?
Yeah, asking a whole lot right there,
Scott.
Oh, Mr. Stan.
CrossFit lover didn't well admit there
would be no WFP without CrossFit.
Well, no, no.
He had said that he invented CrossFit when
he was in high school before Greg did.
So really he's saying there would be no
WFP without him.
Clearly teenage will.
was in there just just knocking it down
well before greg ever got any kind of
ideas about putting a front squat and a
push press together or trying to go real
fast for real short you know real hard
for real shorts well had all that on
lock well before any of that any of
that time
Rich said it, though, pretty short.
Rich, I think,
did say that it was Austin who said
there would be no WFP without CrossFit.
Austin's the one that pushed back.
Austin was the only one that pushed back
in that interview.
Good form, though.
Austin just left from freaking HQ.
Like, he's...
He's been there forever, right?
He's not just going to be like, oh,
yeah,
and just let Will say whatever he wants
to say.
Rich is going to interview the dude,
let him, he's going to give him rope,
give him rope, give him rope,
and just let him say whatever he wants
to say and just be Rich,
which is a nice guy,
and he's going to sit there and be
like, oh, oh, yeah, okay.
Mm-hmm.
I understand because Hiller did a video.
Jenny did a video.
Both did an excellent job clipping
everything up,
making specific statements and why wasn't
there follow-up.
At the end of the day,
he wasn't going to answer anything anyway.
Yeah.
Or he was going to contradict himself.
So at one point as the interviewer,
you're just frustrated because like Austin
pushed and pushed and pushed and he never
did answer that question.
It's all smoke and mirrors.
Mm-hmm.
So I got a little something right here
and what's in this head.
Yeah.
So like at some point you just were
like, well, why even try?
Cause he's not going to,
to say anything of value at this point.
We can't even have a conversation of how
it might be better.
Right.
It was obvious that he believes that his
way is the way,
and that is the way they're going to
continue to run their, their shop.
And it, there is no better way.
And cool.
That's what you want to do.
Go for it there, buddy boy,
knock yourself out.
I think it's my,
my favorite thing was that when he said
we put on three events and we streamed
all of them and broadcast them and
nobody's ever done that before.
except for crossfit when they literally
broadcast every single regional that ever
happened in consecutive weekends back to
back to back to back over and over
and over again or any other sporting event
that's ever been on tv ever i mean
some baseball games have double headers
and they broadcast both of them no way
no it's so hard to believe it's so
hard to believe
Uh, first CrossFit workout was posted in.
Yeah,
we just had the twenty-fifth anniversary
yet.
Uh, two days ago yesterday, some,
like somewhere, uh, at least the faith,
uh, and will was ten years old.
Yeah.
I'm George.
The more I listen to him,
the more I become,
the more annoyed I become.
He is effing delusional.
Rich left him off the hook.
Again, I think there's,
as someone who has interviewed people in
the past,
you have interviewees that are willing to
go with you on the ride and you
have others that are fighting you on the
ride.
And at some point as the interviewer,
you just get tired.
And if I'm sitting there and I see
Austin begging for him to just say an
answer,
over and over again like you get defeated
and you're like well at this point why
why even try why bother why bother yes
grid league and so like it's i don't
think it's that austin is the only one
with a spine i've seen vander sloot come
hard right i've seen angelo come hard i
think that they just realized at some
point we weren't getting anywhere with any
of this
I think they brought him on thinking that
they were going to have a decent
conversation with him,
If you're not looking to push anything,
it was right.
They seem to have a good time.
They were laughing, joking,
messing around, whatever.
And that's what they did.
Austin wanted answers.
He was trying to get answers,
but after a while, like you said,
there's just only so much you can do.
And you're just like, okay, well,
this guy's not going to say anything.
So I guess we'll just go back to
talking about his favorite color or
whatever else he wants to talk about how
much weed he smoked last week.
So Shay asked why even invite him and
Ed hits it right on the point.
How many people clipped it?
How many people viewed it?
Like if you're looking for YouTube
analytics,
like it has kicked it out of the
park.
Hiller had sixty three clips on his own.
Like clip sixty three different things.
Just Hiller.
Even Grid League broadcast like four
matches a week.
Yeah, they do.
On the same day.
And they do a good job.
One of my good friends does Grid League.
I've watched him several different times.
Or sixty-five.
Sorry.
Tristan says,
I just don't think the rest of them
cared.
I think there was a point where they
just didn't care anymore.
They weren't getting any content of any
significance.
And therefore, why even try?
Yeah.
Um...
Totally true, but everyone is like that.
When you bring up the open,
not testing everything it used to,
people steer away.
They don't want the conversation.
Will doesn't want the CrossFit
conversation.
I think a lot of people have talked
about the open in three weeks and not
being enough to test everything.
I think on our show,
we've talked about ways to change that by
carrying over those scores to
quarterfinals where you can get a more
complete test.
We've talked about those things.
We haven't avoided them.
But I think you're right.
I think that Will just wants to run
it his way.
He thinks his way is best,
and he doesn't want to hear from other
people.
Ed AI is on the East Coast for
vacation.
It's too bright and sunny here.
How do you all live like this?
Every day, baby boy.
It's seventy four and sunny down here.
Oh, look, speaking of Hiller.
Yeah.
Howie there.
I wasn't hiding behind anything with my
comments.
Scott Hiller had sure of made sure of
that, apparently.
Yeah.
I wasn't talking about you, Howie.
I know who you are.
Correct.
It's these other people with their burner
accounts hopping into the comments that I
have an issue with.
So that's that.
I think Hiller and Jenny and everybody did
a great job clipping it all up.
We've talked about it for two days.
It is what it is.
They're going to do it however they want
to do it.
And this ship's going to sink in a
couple years when they're out of money.
And there we are.
At this point, I find it amusing.
I really, really do.
Because everybody's been asking the dude
the same questions for a year and a
half now,
and he has not answered one yet.
So kudos to him for just redirecting or
just...
saying nothing, you know,
saying something while saying nothing like
the entire time.
And he keeps getting invited to come on
the podcast with people.
Like, cause somebody,
everybody else is like,
I'm going to crack this guy this time.
And like, not even Pedro,
who was really good at getting people to
answer questions that they might not want
to necessarily want to answer.
Like he was just,
he was stone faced the entire time.
We're just kind of like, yeah, whatever.
Moving right along.
So good for him.
It's sad to me that it could have
been a cool thing if it was placed
in the right part of the season,
if it was for the right athletes.
I talked about that yesterday.
I think, you know,
the Sidney McAlishans of the world and
like the Erica Folos and the
Chris Ibarra,
it was a great testing ground for them
and to subsidize themselves for the
season.
And they could have made it somewhat cool.
But with this leadership,
it's going nowhere.
After seeing that interview with Will,
I've given up all hope that this ship
will ever turn.
I think my favorite part of Hiller's recap
yesterday was whenever he brought up
Will's post about leadership.
This is leadership.
You think Dave Castro would ever do
anything even remotely close to that,
saying that, hey,
look at how great I am of a
leader?
I'm going to tell you right now.
No, no.
No good leader does.
No good leader tells you how good of
a leader they are.
They show you how good of a leader
they are.
You are too busy actually doing stuff to
stop and pat yourself on the back for
being fantastic at what you do.
so here here's the this is where like
i was a supporter of the wfp and
when i when i stopped supporting was when
i talked to people that were hired by
them to do a job yeah after the
event they were asked to give feedback
everybody who gave negative feedback was
let go
And these are people that I have known
for ten years around the space who were
saying what they felt and were told that
it was an open dialogue because they want
to be better.
And when they gave negative feedback,
they were let go.
The minute you can't take constructive
criticism is the minute that your ship is
going to sink.
Tell us what you think.
Okay.
Whoa, not like that.
So now they're surrounded by all yes men
who all just are in the same agreement
on the same page,
doing the same thing in whatever direction
they decide is right and damn be everybody
else.
And I don't,
and we don't care what anybody else thinks
or even if it's valid or not.
Correct.
We have a plan and we're going forward.
So the minute that happened, it was over.
Vicky,
tell us what you think without telling us
what you think.
Exactly.
Yeah.
I was talking to people face-to-face at
the games who had worked on Tour Stop
One.
And I was asking what the experience was
like.
And they said, well, I'll tell you,
I'm no longer there.
Because they asked for feedback.
I gave it and they let me go.
And it was way more than one person
who gave me that exact same story.
It's fantastic.
It's insane.
Larry is going to beat this drum until
the cows come home.
Dave cares less.
Even if doing the same workouts hurt the
open registration, he won't budge.
Larry,
we don't know what hurts the open
registration because we haven't had a
clean five years.
We had COVID.
We had the death of Lazar.
We haven't had a clean five years to
know if registration would continue on an
upward trend or not.
And until Tyler put out that open
document, state of the open document,
that's the first time I've seen in a
very concise manner in greater than three
font.
Anybody say any of that stuff?
Yeah.
When you reduce the open down to three
weeks,
you are very limited in what you can
do.
It's just a fact.
I know you want to lift heavy.
I know you want heavy workouts in the
open.
You like to lift heavy.
It ain't going to happen.
And that will be whoever is running the
open to allow every gym to allow their
people in.
It has to be a tool for the
affiliates to use.
And you can't close out those gym members
who can't lift heavy.
Larry, I'm not kicking you out.
I'm willing to have the discussion.
I'm willing to have the discussion.
But the reality is this is where we're
at.
And the way it is designed today,
it should be you do three weeks of
the open.
You carry over your scores to the
quarterfinals.
And quarterfinals is when it gets serious.
Now you're down to twenty five percent of
the population.
Now you can play with the big boy
tools.
That's just the way it is.
Might be an unpopular opinion,
but the year when Boz programmed it,
it was much more complete test than the
last few years of Dave's programming.
You have to remember as well, Lito,
that Dave programmed the open the year Boz
took over the games.
that all of that had already been done
and was already in place before Dave was
let go.
He also looked at the entire season as
a thing.
So like from the open all the way
through quarterfinals, semifinals,
and then ultimately the games,
he's programming for the entire thing.
He's not just programming the Open for the
Open.
The Open's gonna start here.
This is where everybody starts, right?
That's their whole ad campaign or part of
it, right?
It starts here.
Or maybe that was last year.
Anyway, it starts here.
Then that's gonna build on from there what
you did in the Open.
If you made quarterfinals, cool.
Now you get to play a little bit
more for quarterfinals.
If you are good enough from quarterfinals
to make semifinals,
then you get to play at that next
stage.
And it's gonna look a little bit
different.
But he's going to have a theme throughout
the entire thing.
It might not always be evident,
but if you talk to him,
because he said it before, he's like,
yeah,
I'm going to have a theme for the
entire year,
whatever that ends up looking like.
From day one, which is February,
whatever the day the Open actually starts,
all the way through the games.
So like, yeah,
I don't like doing burpee and dumbbell the
last two years in a row for the
first workout of the games.
I do not.
I'm going to be completely honest with
you.
I thought it was lazy or it felt
lazy.
It's accessible.
Yeah.
Okay, cool.
Fantastic.
But I did it because I mean,
there's going to be some other stuff
coming behind it,
whatever that ends up looking like.
And then there's other stuff coming back.
That's basic CrossFit stuff.
Hey, you don't like the workout today?
Cool.
Come back tomorrow.
We got something different.
Oh, you don't like your workout tomorrow?
Cool.
Come back the day after that.
We're going to have something different.
Vicky says,
I feel like just because I may not
see the method in the madness doesn't mean
there is a lack of method to the
madness.
Correct.
Correct.
Correct.
So, and Tristan says,
if you carry over scores from the open,
then those quarters tests would need to be
skewed heavy and high skill since the open
is basically three endurance tests.
Right.
But a seven or eight test,
eight workout test is going to be much
better than a three and a five or
four, whatever they decide to do.
Right.
When they're separate like that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I agree.
Like make it look for people like me
who is going to sound like bragging,
but like I don't have to try real
hard for the open to make quarterfinals.
I just don't like I can go do
my one and done.
Submit my scores and then be ready for
quarterfinals when it's going to matter
for me.
And that's the majority of any higher
level athletes.
If you want to try to get to
from quarterfinals to semifinals,
if you want to make the open matter,
then add those scores to quarterfinals
because now they matter.
They actually matter because right now
quarterfinals matter.
Tristan says,
I just don't think they'd program it
balanced.
Well, it's not fair to just think.
They haven't been given the opportunity in
a format like that.
And I think that given that opportunity,
they may put together a better test than
we think.
Yeah.
There's so much in here.
Hold on.
Okay.
Rx for Time, Scott,
have you reached out and had a discussion
with them?
And he's talking about WFP.
I reached out to have either Will or
Saxon on early on.
I got no response for a while.
And then I got a response that right
after tour stop one,
they would have one of those two available
for me to have on the show.
And then they pulled that back after.
I reached out a couple more times.
with no response.
And so, yes,
I have made efforts to them to have
those people on.
And at this point, I just,
there's no point in it.
I've,
I've seen the show and there's no point
in trying because they're never going to
answer the questions.
So.
Look, I can do it.
I just sit back like this.
I'll go get in my car and then
I'll just, I can be Will.
It's not that big a deal.
I just not answer any of your questions
and we just move on.
And then Lito is right.
Boz then after the games that he
programmed did the open the following
season and the quarterfinals and the
semifinals because CrossFit ran those.
But if you remember correctly,
those semifinals had a bit of a fiasco
to them.
It was the carpet drag sled.
There were a lot of no rep issues
where people got kind of screwed out of
games tickets and
And that's when Justin Berg got fired and
Dave was brought back immediately after
those semifinals and trying to get the
ship righted before they got to the games.
So you have to look.
Yes, maybe the program was better.
Programming might have been better in that
for you, Lito.
But the whole thing became a little bit
of a shit show during that time.
And it cost one guy his job and
Dave to get his job back.
So in full context,
it was a wild time.
I remember the carpet sled drag thing.
That was not good at all.
It was also the L-sit rope climb thing
where people were just sitting on the
floor and it looked terrible.
It was just a mess that year.
RX for Time,
Boz's programming can sometimes go off the
beaten path for better or worse at times.
I agree,
but I think Boz's programming is more
conducive to the games when you have the
elite of the elite.
When you had,
I think they had a lot of people
at semis that year,
and there were a lot of people just
sitting because they couldn't do the rope
climbs.
And you just had people like standing and
sitting around during a lot of the events.
It just had a bad look to it.
Then you had that sled drag that was
God awful.
You had the backpack bring muscle up
thing.
I know it was a ruck.
I call it.
It looked like a kid going to school
trying to do a muscle up.
Yeah.
There just was a lot of bad things
that year.
And again,
it costs someone his job and it costs
them going to grab Dave and bring him
back.
I will say Boz programmed the Capitol,
which is one of the best events to
watch in the game's history.
And Dave programmed Strongman's Fear,
which is one of my favorite events of
all time in the CrossFit Games.
Like, we can pick out things.
Boz is great.
I love Boz.
Boz is one of the coolest people ever,
and I love hanging out and talking with
him.
Boz also programmed the sandbag ladder
that everybody thought was going to suck,
and it was one of the most compelling
things I've ever seen at the games.
It was.
And the tiebreaker was great.
It all was really good.
But I do think that his stuff is
more conducive to the elite of the elite.
Yeah.
Like his stuff is wild.
And you can't have a fortieth place person
at semifinals who can't do a legless rope
climb, let alone an L-sit rope climb,
like just sitting on the floor for a
long stretch.
Just looking up at a rope,
like maybe I'll figure this out someday.
Yeah.
so it yeah it's it's all in it
but he had one year like who knows
what it would have been refined to over
time and and i do think that he
does work with dave on some stuff
They've been knowing each other and
working together forever.
It's not like he can't call him up
and be like, hey,
I'm trying to figure this piece of this
whatever on this workout out.
Do you have any ideas?
I'm sure that's happened or happens on a
regular basis.
Now,
we can't fool ourselves and sit here and
say that Dave doesn't have the upper hand
in the power dynamic.
Oh, sure.
Right.
Absolutely.
This is Dave's baby.
He invented it.
He created it.
At the end of the day,
he has the upper hand in the power
dynamic.
So.
Shana says the twenty twenty two games was
my favorite so far for Masters.
I think Bob's program that.
yeah um okay so that's all of that
um i don't know if you saw this
this is just me as a dad lindsey
vaughn's dad came out and made a statement
oh
about her wreck at the olympics and he
and they asked her him about lindsey's
future and he said her skiing career is
done as long as i have something to
do with it as long as i got
breath in my lungs and as a dad
as a dad i'm thinking oh hell yeah
like go she does not need to hurt
herself yeah
But as a competitor,
like I did some stupid shit to get
myself out on a field of play.
I remember just in my forties.
Going to a CrossFit competition,
I had to do a snatch complex and
my shoulder was like hanging off the side
of my body.
And I went to an acupuncturist who had
a booth at this competition,
didn't know her from Noah.
And I sat down and let her stick
needles all through me so that I could
go out there and do one snatch complex
because I needed to lift to even be
competitive in the competition.
Yeah, no, I need this one lift.
So what can you do?
If it's my daughter or my son out
there, hell no.
Get out of the competition and fight to
live another day.
Yeah, you'll be all right.
There'll be other ones.
It'll be the first thing I would tell
Brody.
You'll be all right, dude.
Like, it's not worth it.
But me?
Oh, yeah, no, I'm getting out there.
Yeah.
I'm getting out there.
I don't care if I rip my shoulder
off of my body.
It's fine.
I got one lift.
Yeah, I got another one.
I'll be all right.
So it made me think about like all
of the things that athletes do to get
like the sacrifices they make.
Like you think of Atalantia at the games
when Haley is bleeding from everywhere and
she just is fighting through to finish
that workout.
The mindset that these athletes have is
crazy.
Or the ruck run, the first ruck run,
whenever she had just that spot on her
back, dude.
She still has scars from that.
There's no doubt in my mind.
There's no doubt in my mind.
I would say, so Frida just said,
it's always harder to be on the sidelines.
It is the...
I would rather be on the floor myself
doing double Murph than watch,
because Brody does compete from time to
time whenever he's in the gym or from
watching him at the open a couple of
years ago.
I would much rather be on the floor
suffering about to die than anxiety of
trying to watch him do something.
And I need you to do what I
know you can do.
there's pictures of me watching him and
like,
you can just see the look on my
face.
And I'm like, there's no,
I'm gonna need you to,
I'm gonna need you to get it right.
There's no way.
Yeah.
And there's no exhilaration like your kid
doing well.
I got a picture on my phone of
Brody's first ever time.
He deadlifted like three,
fifteen at a powerlifting meet his
freshman year of high school.
And he's screaming, I'm screaming, like,
I was sixteen feet from him because we
get, you know,
it's in a gym or whatnot and losing
my absolute mind because I was so excited
for it.
Shanna says that Lindsay has a nasty
complex tib-fib fracture.
We'll take multiple surgeries.
Yeah, I saw that.
Which is why her dad said, no,
she ain't getting no more skis, bro.
You know what they need?
They need some third C.
The most is her dad.
And that's because right now,
Thirdsy is running a self-care thirty
special to make sure that you are able
to take care of others.

It's well worth it.
In the USHL, with Des Moines Bucks,
son took slap shot to the face in
the morning skate before leaving to North
Dakota, two teeth out and a broken nose.
Coach said, you're not making the trip.
He said to me, he said,
take me to Team Dentist.
Does that mean he went ahead and went?
Sounds like it.
He scored two goals and two assists that
night.
Man, I was calling Leto a hater.
I missed that.
I don't know what she's a hater for.
Yeah, I missed that.
I don't even see a Leto comment for
like ever.
Let me address this.
Doug, Mr. Doug Reed, no, he's not.
And so long as I got breath in
my lungs,
he's not going to be stronger than I
am.
Can't let that fly.
I keep getting all these videos in my
timeline about, you know,
one day your daughter is going to be
too big for you to pick up.
And it cuts to somebody's squad.
It's like, don't let that happen.
I'm like,
you ain't got to worry about that, bro.
At no point in my life is any
one of my children going to be too
big for me to carry.
Did you see Rogue up the prize purse?
I did.
At one point...
a one point four one point five literally
like minutes before we went on the air
yeah it bumped it up it's like one
point i think i want to say like
one point four or something like that
million dollars altogether which is a lot
Yeah.
I mean, that's a huge, huge payday.
You get your trip paid for by them.
Right.
Everybody gets paid when you go there.
You know,
we talked about a couple weeks ago,
all-star games.
That is like the all-star game of CrossFit
is Rogue.
And they only take in, what is it,
thirty and thirty?
No, twenty, twenty.
Twenty and twenty.
So, yeah,
go ahead and do the math on that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Outstanding.
Good for him.
I'm glad.
You can't.
I guess you probably could.
People do have bad experiences with Rogue.
I mean,
they are a fairly large company at this
point,
but it's really hard to argue against them
whenever they keep doing stuff like that.
Yeah, they're awesome.
Kudos to them.
So you just finished up the Monster Game
qualifiers.
yes and no so i had one left
uh yes i am going to fit us
at the coast um that's i had missed
rx for time yes um right i do
know well i don't know if david and
i have actually met in person but i'm
fairly sure we probably have
I have one left to do,
which was the two-parter.
So my age group, it was two rounds,
.
And then .
Yesterday morning,
I got set up to go and knock
it out.
And then as I was finishing up my
first round,
the two newest girls in the gym walked
dead in between me and my camera.
Um, and I'm like into full panic,
freaking out mode, like get out of it.
Cause
The one girl, bless her heart,
she was talking to me the entire time,
trying to hold a conversation while I'm
wrapping up my first set of burpees.
So I had to say I had to.
I stopped because we had to submit a
video this year for Monster Games for
Masters.
We didn't have to last year.
And I didn't want my video to get
scrutinized or end up with a no rep,
even though I did the work,
because people walked in front of my
camera and I didn't see it.
You know what I'm saying?
Or they could block in front.
And they were fixing to walk right back
in front of it again.
So I redid it last night.
I got a decent score on the first
part,
but I'm not super happy about my snatches
on this second part.
So I may end up doing it again
tomorrow morning as my last piece before I
fly out Friday to go to Fedecito Coast.
Mark Phillips will try to limp my
qualifier finish so I can get to Monster
to meet Corey.
Get them done, Mark.
Get them done.
Lito, yes,
I am going to try to qualify too.
That is the major goal this year is
try to get to an in-person semifinal to
try to be able to compete against that
caliber of athlete to get some more
competition experience under my belt
before next year.
when we've made the full,
full push to make the games.
David, whichever one.
Whichever one I have me,
I would much rather go to Magic City
because it's six hours from my house,
a six hour drive from my house,
as opposed to, you know,
flying across the country to go to Del
Mar.
Although I'm way more familiar with the
Del Mar people at that point,
at this point with the Legends folks.
But honestly, anyone that invites me,
that's where I'm going.
Ed Cecil, Orange Cone's your gym for you.
um here's the thing dude they're brand
brand new like the one girl has been
here literally been here for three weeks
the other one has been here for two
months and they had no idea like they
were oblivious I can't get mad at them
they have no idea what was going on
right I'm still having to explain to them
what movements are when I coach them in
classes and like we had a uh a
one time through chipper this morning and
I was explaining to the one girl Leah
I was like okay look
you get down to the end you're done
we don't have to go back and do
it again she's like oh okay i got
it i got it ortega says brother i
hate people that don't understand gym
etiquette and shanna some people have no
awareness of the gym yeah so um it
happens it happens uh there we go i
was really more more upset about the
snatch last night than i was about them
walking in front of my camera that way
i ended up having to do it again
so
So I do,
before we get into Fittest on the Coast,
I do want to share something that Corey
shared with me.
He's been recovering from his
season-ending injury.
He's been asking the fundamental questions
about life that only guys like Socrates
and Plato have to answer.
So this is an important question.
An important question that I need to know
the answer to.
And only Cam Scadaboo...
New York Giants running back has dove into
this,
and we need to make sure that we
all understand what is the right way.
So here it is.
Do you, like,
turn your head to eat a taco,
or do you turn the taco for you?
Like, are you dominant for the taco,
or does the taco, like,
do you turn your head for the taco?
It's about the dominance of the taco,
though.
Like, if you're not,
if you're turning the taco,
you're dominating the taco.
I'm scabby.
So the question is,
do you turn the taco for your head
or do you turn your head for the
taco?
Camp Scataboo is a national treasure.
First of all,
let's go ahead and get that out right
now.
Secondly, I am fairly certain that, yeah,
like Wayne just said,
I turned my head like I am a
get my head to the taco.
Yeah.
So I've thought about this way too much
since you sent me this,
and that is that I definitely turn my
head for the taco because if you turn
the taco, the shit falls out.
Correct.
You don't want to lose your stuffings.
No.
Right?
So you got to turn your head for
the taco to keep all the stuffings inside
the taco.
Also, I'm a crunchy taco guy.
So if I am trying to turn the
taco,
I'm squeezing it a little harder to try
to stop the stuff from falling out of
it,
which is in turn going to make the
taco shell break.
And then you got an even worse situation
on your hands.
So like turn your head,
get you a good bite.
Enjoy it.
Move on, move on with your life.
Um, Jay Burch turns for the taco, uh,
Wayne turned the head.
Uh, what else we got here?
Joe Valens says,
I'm qualified to answer this as an expert.
Turn the taco.
Phil DePuper,
definitely dominate the taco.
Dude, man, that's a bold move.
That's a strong move there, Phil.
Unless it's a soft taco.
If it's a soft taco, boom.
You can make a little burrito.
All that kind of stuff, but yeah.
The
Yeah, you got to go pinky pinch.
A hundred percent.
All the way through.
Absolutely.
Everybody's mad at me because I like
crunchy tacos.
It's all right.
But isn't that what a real taco is?
I will go to a Mexican restaurant,
order the tacos al carbón,
the little steak tacos, the three, right?
And get those how they come and then
order myself one crunchy taco on the side
just because I like the crunch.
I just do.
So hate on me if you want.
It's perfectly fine.
I will take, I will accept it.
The haters are Amanda.
Yeah.
And Joe.
And Joe.
It's fine.
It's fine.
And yeah, they're Joe again.
Yeah.
Joe is not happy with your crunchy choice.
It's fine.
It's fine.
Yeah.
My, my taco is, I love fish tacos.
Big fan.
So there's a place just up the street
sells mahi-mahi fish tacos.
I get it grilled in a soft shell
street taco style.
And man, just love that stuff.
Love it.
Love it, love it, love it, love it.
Nice room on left.
It's Twitch people.
I have no idea what's going on.
Yeah, okay.
Taco in the bag trend was my favorite.
Oh, gosh.
Walking tacos?
Now that should be disqualified from...
It's when you take a bag of Fritos
and you put all the taco stuff in
the Frito bag.
Oh, no.
And you eat it right out of the
bag.
If you're going to do that,
just make yourself a Frito bag.
Yeah,
make yourself a Frito pie and call it
good.
Like that makes way more sense than
putting like, but no, no.
Come on, Ken.
I know you're from the Midwest, dude,
but be better.
Hannah loves crunchy too.
You got someone in your... Me and you,
Shannon.
And Data Wad said that's what she said.
I'm sure we said something that really
required that and I probably missed it.
More than likely.
Probably about eating the tacos,
if I had to guess.
And yeah, thank you.
I think your room is nice, Scott.
You're on the left.
Well, thank you.
You're on the left.
I've just joined.
I have no idea what I missed.
Oh, that's fat.
That's fantastic.
That's fantastic.
Scott, my wife turns her head.
I married a monster.
I turned my head.
Yeah.
I always look like a curious dog every
time I'm fixing to eat.
Head tilt to the side.
You try eating a taco not in a
bag in the stands at a hockey game?
No,
because I don't try to eat tacos at
a hockey game.
That is not on my menu for a
hockey game, Ken.
There are American concessions that have
been around forever, like the hot dog,
the hamburger, the nachos.
Literally anything else.
Nice way to get your Mexican flair without
having to eat a taco in a bag.
Literally anything else.
I cannot picture.
I have never been to a professional hockey
game,
but I cannot imagine myself going like,
I'm going to go to this Philadelphia
Flyers game and get me a taco while
I'm in the stands.
Yeah.
When I'm at a sporting event,
taco is not the first thing I'm thinking.
I can't tell you.
Look,
I've been to a million LSU football games
and not once have I ever been like,
oh,
I need to make sure I go by
that taco stand before I go back in
the stadium.
It's just never happened.
Just never happened.
Oh, you crack me up, Ken.
Crack me up.
Well, I know that right now
The sport of fitness podcast is going live
and announcing the athletes who will be
appearing at twenty six point two.
So I don't want to keep you all
from going and checking that out because
that's got to be Lucy.
I I would bet a substantial amount of
money that one will be named Lucy.
And there actually is a chance that two
could be named Lucy.
That's fair.
That's fair.
So we'll find out in a few minutes.
And then tomorrow we'll talk about it.
I'm here for it.
Thank you all for joining.
Go get yourself some tacos in a bag.
Crunchy, soft.
At your favorite hockey game.
Whatever.
Get your tacos.
Enjoy your day.
Have a nice lunch with the Clydesdale.
We'll see you tomorrow to talk about who
is appearing at twenty six point two.
Bye.
