Scott is his name.

Let's see where this thing goes.

Let's see where this thing goes.

From the gym to the screen, yeah,

we cover it all.

Midday motivation every time you press

call.

Lunch with the Clydesdale.

Cowboy, bring the heat.

Crossfit, boobies, music on repeat.

Half-hour hustle, yeah,

we're building that brand.

Grab a plate, tune in now,

you're part of the fam.

To lunch with the Clydesdale and our

new...

New theme song.

I like it.

It's fantastic.

It's fantastic.

I feel like the same person that wrote

Jenny wrote art,

so it came out pretty good.

Yeah, I messed around with it, with AI,

different stuff to it.

That's what it came up with.

Dude, I like it.

I dig it.

Cool.

Got a lot of people in the house

already.

Jody's just here for the intro.

I mean, whatever you show up for, man.

Alito,

glad to hear your good news about your

heart, Scott.

Was just catching up with yesterday's

show.

Yep.

It's good news, man.

Finally back.

finally ready to go um wild experience

yesterday so hopefully hopefully it all

stays there it's supposed to be how are

you feeling uh cowboy i'm feeling pretty

good i'm up that this thing is still

echoing when i talk yeah

We got to figure it.

We got to figure it out.

So I don't know.

Maybe you'd have to go back to the

old mixer.

Cause this, this is not working real good.

No, it's choppy at best.

Revert.

You got to revert that.

Nope.

Bro.

Could be all the electricity in my body.

Kenneth DeLapp was fine yesterday.

I blame Corey.

I'll take that look.

That's fine.

Brayden, did your workouts get dropped?

Yesterday.

It's been a couple days.

I have no idea what day it is.

Monday.

Monday night.

Yeah,

they've been putting them out a couple at

a time, usually with missing information.

Yeah.

They still have missing information on one

of them, so there's that.

Probably trying to figure them out.

I have a rip for that whole business.

I just don't know when I want to

launch it.

so let me ask you this you weren't

here yesterday monday mayhem um what do

you have any thoughts because you didn't

get a chance to talk about it anything

about me uh i did not see victor

hoffer coming

How about that?

Let's start off with that.

I did not see that coming at all.

That was fun to watch, honestly.

Good on him.

I thought the production was very well put

together.

The workouts were all, you know,

pretty fun to watch.

The post-production stuff that he did for

the, the five K with the was insane.

just to turn around time in general and

then have it be that,

that amount of quality.

Uh, shout out to my boy,

Carlos bone of bone media.

He's one of the guys that was working

on that.

Um, he said he pulled two all nighters,

like putting stuff together,

which he hadn't done in forever.

Oh, Gwen was absolutely insane to watch.

I know everybody's been saying it,

but I haven't had a chance to say

it yet.

So Gwen was absolutely insane to watch.

Just the drama that it made because of

the way it was put out there,

the way it inherently carried drama with

it just because of the strategy and then

the people failing reps at basically the

last possible second.

save, if you want to call it that,

that day.

I think Rich had it right.

Like,

I can't not give her that rep just

because of that, you know,

popping that thing up and catching it and

whatnot.

Like,

we can bend the rules a little bit,

I believe,

for that one because that was... So, yeah,

no, I enjoyed the shit out of it.

There's something shorting out with your

stuff.

Because when I'm not talking,

it's confusing.

And I think it's a cable that's probably

not good.

Let me try something.

Daniel Arnson, clean rep,

get out of here with that.

I agree.

I listened to the Mayhem podcast this

morning, and this is going to be tough.

I'm going to mute Corey for a second.

Yeah, that's better for me.

I watched Mayhem podcast this morning and

Rich talked about how

The judges were briefed on that.

The judge letting it go was a good

thing.

And his determination was she didn't gain

an advantage with that.

In fact, it made it more difficult.

It was a great thing.

And it actually was a good demonstration

of a person who was so well prepared

for the unknown and the unknowable that

she was able to pop that back on

to her hand and finish the rap.

And I agree with his sentiment on that.

I think it was an amazing job by

her.

Yeah.

A hundred percent.

A hundred percent.

I mean, you can't, you can't ask.

Yeah.

I, again, Corey, I can barely hear you.

like cutting in and out.

And it sounds like there's a cable not...

Everything's plugged in like it's supposed

to be.

Chad,

I knew because it was an athletic move.

It doesn't make it to standard...

But I am telling you,

as a judge for the amount of years

that I was a judge,

there is no way that what happened with

her was briefed with the judging or judges

and was not briefed with her.

And then it was good to let her

go from that side and then figure it

out afterwards.

I'm glad they didn't go, Ripper.

I'm glad it came down to that decision.

I could see it either way,

but there's no way it could have been

briefed.

No, the re grip thing.

Sure.

Absolutely.

But if your hand comes all the way

off and you're able to pop it back

onto your hand, that that's,

you can go over some briefings that are

off into the weeds.

Yeah.

i don't know i'm gonna just try with

the computer

Can't hear you at all.

Or take,

is that how it was brief that you

get allowed to regroup?

You just couldn't rest it and hip crease.

I knew Rich had said the hang was

okay.

Like you rest in the hang as long

as you weren't leaning back,

which is probably why they got Saxon

whenever they, you know,

he got his newer up.

I'm just wondering if this is how it

was that you could regroup.

You just couldn't rest in the hip crease.

Say something Scott.

So I'm back with a computer mic.

I can hear you.

I'm still getting some echo through my

laptop.

So that kind of proves it's got to

be on your end.

But anyway,

either decision would have been fine.

It is what it is.

It was a great athletic move.

She did something amazing,

and I'm glad that we got to see

that.

The other thing I thought was an

interesting thing from the podcast this

morning was they used electric cars to

film the runners going up the mountain

because Rich didn't want to have the

exhaust...

Have to be breathed in by the runners.

So I thought that was pretty cool and

and pretty thoughtful on his fault and on

his part.

To do that so he.

So because he probably experienced that at

one time.

The E mock Mustangs.

They were cool and Bella was hanging out

the window.

so there we go yeah um guys it's

so much my headphones are my or the

the mixer one or two i'll get some

new ones anyway what are you saying

Just that they used the electric vehicles

so that the runners didn't have to get

exhaust.

Exhaust fumes, breathing exhaust fumes.

Yeah, I mean, that's pretty thoughtful.

And let's be honest,

Haley was damn near inside the thing,

so she either got all the exhaust fumes

or wowed how close that they were.

So that was Mayhem.

Any other thoughts before we leave that?

no no not at all i mean i

enjoyed it the entire weekend uh i thought

rich was fantastic on the mic um he

he was talking about it like somebody

who's been there which i know he has

been but he was speaking on it like

somebody who's been there which is

You know,

all you can ask for and really and

truly.

I do feel like the voice of the

CrossFit Games is a little underutilized

because Rich and Austin kind of were

talking over him at several different

points.

But it was nice to hear O'Shaughnessy back

on the mic.

i'm going to try the mic again and

we don't have an echo so we're going

to figure it out off hours sometime yeah

not a big deal um so i want

to get to legends legends is coming up

this weekend before we get into my little

riff um this came out yesterday i got

more details

To be able to watch it,

you're going to have to go to Flow

Elite.

We're going back ten years in time where

you have to subscribe to Flow Elite if

you want to watch any part of Legends.

That's going to be the following week as

well at Magic City.

They're going to be on Flow Elite.

And I think if it's what makes it

economical for us to see these events and

that's what they have to do,

I'm okay with it.

I do think the pricing at Flow Elite

is pure insanity.

Yeah.

I think if we could get someone like

Siobhan to do Legends like they are and

pay ten dollars for an event or five

dollars for an event,

it would be much easier for people to

stomach.

Thirty dollars a month to subscribe to a

broadcasting stream is a little much for

me.

But it is what it is.

I did get confirmation that all heats will

be broadcast,

including the Masters divisions.

So if you're a fan or a friend

of a Masters athlete who's competing at

Legends,

you get to see them because they are

going to broadcast every heat.

The Sevon podcast is going to do select

heats.

I would imagine they're going to do the

Elites.

So,

or if you see something like Scott

Panczyk, they may do those,

something like that, right?

Yeah.

Yeah,

they're not going to get off into the

weeds on a fifty-fifty-four.

Savant has absolutely no idea who any of

those people are.

And neither does any of his crew.

And that's fine.

We don't expect us to be known by

those people.

But what Dilap's saying right there is it

is cheaper than to buy an in-person

ticket.

So there's that.

I got a bunch of friends that,

you know,

when they found out I was going to

Birmingham, were like, man,

I wish I could go,

I wish I could go,

I wish I could go.

And I was like, dude,

Birmingham's expensive.

You know,

between getting there and then staying

there and having to eat and all that

other stuff.

Or you can give Floyd Lee thirty dollars,

have a month of their programming or

whatnot and just sit at home and cheer,

you know,

cheer from the comfort of your home,

as it were.

What I am curious about is like,

What's the camera setup going to look

like?

Is it going to be one static camera

on the entire field or do I have

multiples or whatnot?

I have absolutely no idea.

I never played for Fluid Elite when they

were doing... Waterpalooza.

Waterpalooza, no,

because it was ridiculous back then still.

And I didn't know enough about it at

the time to even want to watch

Waterpalooza,

much less behind the paywall.

And...

Back then,

I also heard that it was buffering and

it was really hard to watch and all

that stuff.

Now, like you said,

it's been almost ten years since they've

done that.

The price hasn't changed.

The price is the same as it was

back then.

Skipping in here, putting like one ADP.

The picture was fine.

The coverage was not great.

They are not...

They are not CrossFit broadcasters.

Right.

If they're using Savan to do some of

this,

then I trust that that team will be

able to broadcast it much better than Flow

Elite used to.

Yeah.

But CrossFit is not something Flow Elite

normally does.

And I don't know what happens in the

heats that Savan is not broadcasting.

That's what I don't know.

It wasn't that the picture was bad or

that it was buffering.

They just didn't know how to cover the

sport.

So they weren't in the right place at

the right time to see the things you

wanted to see.

Yeah,

it would be like me going and trying

to cover a hockey match.

I have absolutely no idea what's happening

right now.

I'm just going to put the camera where

I think the puck might be.

I have no idea.

I wouldn't know what to do.

Hopefully they've learned.

at this point i know um one of

jeff's best friends her daughter does uh

dance competitions and whatnot and like

that's broke has something fully so they

have a they already have a subscription or

whatnot and she uses it to watch it

on a fairly regular basis so i mean

they're still around they're still doing

stuff obviously after all this time

pricing like you said has not changed

still thirty dollars a month unless you

want to pay for the entire year which

please don't do that anybody

Um, not just, not just for, you know,

one event or two events.

It's kind of crazy.

During the, the, the, the, the, the, the,

the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,

the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,

the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,

the, the,

Yeah.

Shanna,

the programming at Legends is insane for

older masters.

No advanced gymnastics.

Handstand walk, bar muscle-up, or ramp?

No.

Ring muscle-ups.

Or handstand push-ups.

I know.

I've beaten that dead horse a lot.

Also, fifty-five plus,

only doing four events.

Which is just stupid.

Who would pay?

All of that money to do four events.

Not me.

Not me.

That's bananas crazy.

All the,

just the expense of getting there.

Paying the registration fee,

getting there, getting a hotel, Airbnb,

whatever it takes,

maybe food for the entire weekend and for

four events.

Also,

you're using four events to get people to

the CrossFit Games.

It might be the Masters CrossFit Games,

but it's still the CrossFit Games.

You just can go up there, open scores,

if you're going to do that.

Amanda, four events over three days.

Yep.

Not only are we only letting you do

four events,

but we're making you stay here and get

four nights,

five nights of a hotel room because we're

going to stretch them out.

Yeah.

That's wild, dude.

And not wild in a fun way by

any stretch of the imagination.

Also, some of the scaling...

I don't want to get off into these.

I'm just,

this is going to give me a headache.

I'm not going anyway.

I'm going to Birmingham.

So good luck, everybody.

I know that's going to go into legends.

Um, so yeah.

Uh, so on the legends, I got word.

If people have not been following us,

I have a photographer, uh,

Ishma captures.

He does great work.

He is what gives me all those pictures

that we collaborate together on.

He helped me with the Hattie Cano

documentary,

doing all the video stuff with that.

Took pictures at the games for me last

year.

It's been awesome.

For the first time in three years,

we have been denied media access to an

event.

First time in three years.

I cannot get a photographer in to Legends.

The response I got back

from the event organizer was with the

amount of internal media,

supporting sponsor media,

and previously approved external teams

already committed before opening

applications to the public,

you're unable to accommodate you.

So they filled who they wanted there

before they even made it public.

to apply for a media credential.

Now I would argue that nobody covers

masters athletes as much as I do.

It's not even close.

The only other people I know that cover

them are CJ and Claire.

Correct.

Other than that,

We cover them as much, if not more,

than everybody.

I did an eleven-part documentary at the

twenty-four age group CrossFit Games.

The next year,

I got the same access as Spectator got.

Two years ago,

you interviewed how many Masters athletes

going to the Games?

I don't know.

A ton.

Most of them?

Let's go with most of them.

Most of them got at least a half

hour interview on this channel right here

to highlight them because they were in

fact going to the CrossFit Games,

despite the fact that they were forty

seven years old or whatever.

I don't.

Yeah.

And last year at the games,

I did get them in touch with a

media school in Columbus where they could

use interns for part of the broadcast and

got them hooked up with a cheaper

broadcast option.

than what was previously available.

Yet, my one photographer can't come.

He's there all the time.

He's at every Legends event, by the way.

He was at Legends,

the one I just went to.

He was there the year before that as

well.

Well,

where I met Shanna was at Legends twenty

four, twenty three, twenty three,

December of twenty three.

And I interviewed I'd interviewed so many

people at that Legends.

And after it was over,

I interviewed every champion of every age

group.

So I met Shanna.

So I met Denise.

It's how I've met all these Masters

athletes and got to know them.

I don't know if any other media outlet

could tell you who won the games at

every age group like I could.

No.

And for the fact that we got denied

one position.

One dude.

One dude with a camera.

One dude with a camera.

And they wonder why people turn against

them.

It is so much.

It has turned so much into this is

our show and we get to run it

however we want and be damned everybody

else.

Be damned programming.

We used to be strength athletes,

so we're going to make this as hard

as hell for anybody who's a gymnast.

When we scale as we move up through

the age groups,

we're going to reduce the gymnastics.

By a lot.

It is freaking unbelievable that we can't

get one person into Walmart.

One dude.

One dude.

I don't understand it.

I do not understand it.

I don't understand most of it.

That part really is unbelievably

frustrating.

I had lost my shit last night.

Oh, I'd imagine.

When I found this out.

So Ishmael bought a ticket.

He's going to try to get pictures as

a spectator.

Jody used the best word, infuriating.

That's infuriating.

Lito nails it.

It's just Bob and Joe's private party.

How sad they're responsible for actual

Masters games.

By all accounts,

Bob has actually stepped back,

and it's Joe's show at this point.

I've heard that from multiple different

people.

I have heard that as well.

But, like, come on, dude.

I don't understand the logic behind it.

I really, really don't.

Like, I get it.

You're selling your own media stuff.

You're going to have people,

cameras there, blah, blah, blah, whatever.

I'm looking at a photographer.

A photographer who is there specifically

to cover the masters,

which is the majority of the people you're

going to have over there.

That's why he's there,

to take pictures for them.

and AI, they can have their party,

no one will show up.

The problem is they're qualifying people

to the games and HQ let them qualify

elites to the games now.

Yep.

It just boggles my freaking mind.

How are they allowed to continue to run

these high-level events?

I want Magic City to succeed so bad,

so bad, where CrossFit goes, hey,

maybe we need to go in another direction.

or whatever MFC's got going,

got in the works.

I hope it blows up at this point.

And I still have a bad taste in

my mouth from my last,

but at this point, what could it hurt?

John George,

are they programming the games and semis?

I have heard they are programming the

games, but I do not know about semifinals.

No clue.

Already Magic City workouts are looking

more exciting.

They are.

I'm excited.

I'm waiting for them to actually drop all

the actual standards,

not just the hints and whatnot that they

put out.

We're supposed to be getting them today.

But yeah,

every time they put something out right

now, I'm like, I made the right choice.

This is the one I want to go

to.

This is the one I'm going to.

So every time they put something out,

I'm like, hell yeah,

I like this a lot.

Ken Walters,

nineteen ninety nine towards your

photographer's ticket.

Jesus legends get your shit together.

Amen, brother.

Thank you so much.

Is that why they have all the three

hundreds?

because people don't want to go or because

they can't figure out how to invite people

um it's probably a little bit of both

Mark um a lot of people turn this

stuff down we've had this discussion um a

couple different times like a lot of

people start trying stuff down because

they got kids that are in sports right

now and they don't want to miss stuff

and like

or just not flying all the way to

California just to go to Legends.

You know, Del Mar,

the venue itself be damned.

They're just not going all the way out

there.

So I feel like it's a little bit

of both at this point.

We have the same stuff going on in

Magic City.

I don't think it's as much as Legends.

Honestly,

I haven't really compared it to as far

as that's concerned because I've got

people that I know are going over there,

people that I care about, respect,

and whatnot are going over there,

and I wish them all the best,

but I am glad I'm going to Birmingham.

What I'll say is this.

I have talked to several Masters athletes

who are done participating as long as Joe

and Bob are in.

I can see that.

That have given up on or not even

competing in the season this year because

they're running the games.

I didn't hear a whole lot of positive

stories coming out of the games last year.

Or games.

The Masters games.

And it goes back to everything is power,

output, and strength that they program.

And so you get there,

and it was clipped by Hiller from Sunday

Show.

All these monsters win those events where

it's all power, output, and strength.

And then you're frustrated as a natural

athlete trying to compete against this.

And whether you can win other workouts

becomes irrelevant because you're so far

behind because these TRT and the whole

medicine cabinet athletes are

outperforming you at the games.

And there's no way to compete because

they're not natural and the programming

lends itself to those people.

My wife asked me the other day if

there was going to, uh,

or I think my son asked me first

and then Jennifer said,

I don't know if they were going to

test, uh, drug test us in Birmingham.

And I said, I hope to God,

I wish they would.

I wish somebody would drug test me.

Please do.

Said it a million times.

I, I,

I aspire to be fit enough to where

people accuse me of being on fucking

theory or whatever,

like any kind of performance enhancing,

whatever.

Ken Walters doesn't like the boycotting.

I didn't like when elites did it to

Dave, but it's their choice.

I don't think they're,

they're the people I'm talking to are not

making a political statement.

They're not,

they're not publicly coming out and saying

I'm out or anything like that.

They just don't want to waste their money

to go to a competition that,

that is all power output and strength

based.

They're just not going to your money.

It's not a percent dude.

The, the, their chest,

the bar sandbag workout or my age group,

the thirties, thirties,

thirties thing that they programmed when

it gets down to Jamie's and mines,

instead of they could in grand total,

they cut twenty reps off the chest of

bar and five off the sandbag.

That's not balanced.

You're going to scale it down and

understand, but that is not balanced.

You just cut four times as many.

Pull-ups for older athletes,

those are a basic movement for most of

these athletes.

And to cut it down is just ridiculous.

Lito said programming at the games was

shockingly bad.

I enjoyed the experience,

but I'm not looking forward to seeing this

year's programming.

Carol Revo,

they better drug test this weekend.

I wonder if that's why a lot of

masters didn't choose to go to online,

to go to in-person semifinals.

Do the online and continue to juice.

No risk of getting tested.

Bro, she's got a solid point.

She has a solid point.

It's a fifty pound bag for my age

group.

Ridiculous.

I just looked at the programming.

Yeah.

A competition that is supposed to find the

fittest and it's not well balanced.

Not only is it not well balanced,

it's not balanced.

Yes, fifty five plus.

They treat like they're in a nursing home.

It's so odd.

And I think this is what happened because

they had to invite three eighty.

They're programming for three eighty and

not for one.

That's insane.

That's a basic programming tenant.

But they have never programmed gymnastics

for one.

No, never.

No.

Did they say if the winners at Mayhem

were tested?

All finalists who qualify for the games

are tested.

And usually a few more.

So the next person has already been

tested.

Yeah, copy of bases.

So like if three make it to the

games, Amanda, it's usually like four,

five, and six are two.

Daniel,

after checking out the programming, says,

it looks like a bunch of bros came

together and just threw crap at the

whiteboard.

Copa Sur is very power-based as well,

and two lifting events.

And what is Copa Sur known for?

A hundred percent, dude.

That's the first thing I thought of when

I saw it the other day.

I was like, well, this tracks.

This makes sense.

This makes perfect sense.

They're just programming to the base.

Just, yeah, I mean,

program it to your crowd.

Ken Walters, but Mark,

most nursing homes serve great

butterscotch pudding.

So I've heard.

So I've heard.

You can add that to anything and make

it okay.

Cobra Sur and Legends don't have any

running.

Dude, that's...

To test running to see if people can

do that at the games.

My boy Brian Wynn,

he's the first person I saw that said

that.

I was like, really?

No running whatsoever at a semifinal?

Okay.

Rose barely has to show up to deliver

and win the event, Amanda.

And to win, yeah.

It's crazy.

It's crazy.

I can't believe we've gotten to this

point.

And I know that people think we just

come on here and bitch to bitch,

but man, these are legitimate gripes.

And I saw someone earlier said,

I think it was Wayne said, do,

would some of your CrossFit athletes give

feedback about,

Ask Shanna.

Shanna has given feedback.

So many of the masters athletes have given

feedback.

It is completely ignored.

They send those things out.

It's almost like the pacify people is how

I feel it is.

They just send it out and they're like,

oh yeah, well, we sent you a survey.

Like, yeah,

I filled it out and I told you

exactly what I thought.

And nothing has changed.

Whatsoever.

So what's the point of filling it out

at that point?

And then to add salt to the wound,

Mayhem set the bar pretty damn high for

the following events.

Absolutely.

Oh, yeah, Wayne.

I was talking specifically about your

media access.

Wayne,

the only reason I got access in twenty

four is because athletes spoke out for me.

Yep.

I remember that clearly.

And I would never ask them to do

that.

Never.

Because they're there to qualify for the

games.

They're there to accomplish their own

goals.

They don't need to worry about me.

And I was so appreciative when they did

that.

And I'm still proud of the behind the

scenes I did for that twenty four games.

But last year,

they didn't even give me enough access to

be able to do it.

No, you needed a directional mic.

and just be shouting at people the entire

time.

Yes.

To get to the people.

I remember that clearly.

Guys,

if you haven't seen the Eleven Port

documentary that Scott put together on the

Masters Games, it's on this channel.

Go watch them.

It is well worth your time and effort.

It looks a little odd because he had

full access for, what, a day?

Yeah.

And then they kick you out the warm-up

area.

But he can still get on the edge

of the warm-up area.

Yep.

Like a whistle for people to come over.

Yeah.

Shanna is the best.

She would have made me her coach for

the access.

Yeah.

Here's my coach, Scott Swanson.

How's it going?

Yeah, no,

he carries that camera with him

everywhere.

It's fine.

Honestly,

I'd be on board with Mayhem JR having

all control with all semifinal events

moving forward.

Obviously, it wouldn't happen,

but I'd want to trust them.

I don't think it's out of the question

that that could be a possibility.

If you listen to Dave in his week

in review,

talking about how Mayhem has made the

template as to what a regional-based

semifinal could look like,

And then people just copy that template.

You know?

Here's my homework.

It's right here on the internet for

everybody to see.

Copy my homework.

We'll make it up.

The mayhem crew.

Now,

I know everybody's going to be conflict of

interest.

Blah, blah, blah.

Right.

But have... Have JR over top of it.

Over it.

And make sure the programming is

consistent.

if not the same, consistent.

That's all it needs to be.

It needs to be balanced and consistent

over all of the semifinals.

That is it, cut and dry.

You want to have your own little flair

on it?

Absolutely.

I'm a hundred percent for that,

but it needs to be balanced and needs

to be consistent over every single

semifinal, whether it's Masters only,

whether it's, you know, Elites,

the whole nine yards,

It just needs to be balanced and

consistent over all of them to get the

right people to the game.

Full stop.

Look at the podium.

Only two mayhem athletes made it.

That's good enough for me.

Not biased at all.

I knew she'd get,

I should come back at this.

Conflict of interest.

That is important to avoid.

That's quickly switched to JR being over

it.

No bucket holds or cart pushes.

No bucket holds or cart pushes, please.

Yes.

Yes.

Oh.

If you listen to Ben and Blair,

I do think they're trying to work with

CrossFit to make sure their event is

legit.

They care, dude.

If you just watch them do any kind

of interview,

you can tell they give a shit.

They want to give a shit.

um and trying to pull out a quality

product but they're also trying to at the

same time they want to make it unique

to them and betting and uh legends does

not give a it doesn't seem like it

they want their party to be their party

as lito says so now i i know

carolyn that conflict of interest is a

serious issue

And it should not be a camp over

what the semifinals are.

Even if they are legit trying not to

be a conflict of interest,

it's going to turn out to be that.

Even if it's not,

and it can be proven that it's not,

people will still think that it is because

it's mayhem and they,

or gyms and cell programming and have

athletes and the whole nine yards.

It'd be the same thing as if they

were putting on a thing and whatnot,

and then people would be having the same

argument.

It really wasn't,

it really doesn't matter who it is.

If they are associated with the camp,

people are gonna say that, well,

that that's the problem.

Well, yeah, of course, of course, Paige,

uh,

nevermind the fact that Paige is

ridiculously fit.

Of course she made it through.

She went to mayhem and it's a mayhem.

It's a mayhem, uh, event.

Well, yeah, but she's also incredibly fit.

It wouldn't have mattered what the tests

were necessarily.

She was probably gonna point your ticket.

Yeah.

Well, that's my lunch hour.

So time for you knuckleheads to get back

to work as well.

But before I do,

I need to tell you about the benefits

of Thirdsy.

Thirdsy,

I got to take it again last night

after my procedure.

Out go the lights, slept like a baby.

And my mom started taking it.

And what she told me she noticed is

it's not the number of hours she sleeps,

it's how deep she sleeps.

Dude, yeah.

And that she falls asleep faster.

And you can do that too by going

to thirdsy.com backslash Jazzy.

or use promo code Jazzy at checkout and

get your fifteen percent off.

With that,

hope you guys have a great rest of

your day and we will see you all

next time.
