Lunch bell.

From the gym to the screen, yeah,

Lunch with the Clydesdale.

Cowboy bring the heat.

Crossfit movies.

Music on repeat.

Half hour hustle, yeah,

we building that brand.

Grab a plate.

Tune in now, you part of the fam.

It's lunch time!

Try to add a little melody to it

today.

I like that.

No,

it's a good little run towards the end

of it.

Big fan.

I wish people could see our dance party

before we go live.

It's a catchy song, man.

It is a catchy song.

It is, man.

It is a catchy song.

And I'm like, I'm grooving back and forth.

You've got the hands going.

You know, we're getting into it.

And I wish there was a way you

could show us while that's playing.

I got my George Jefferson.

Whole lot of that going on.

And if you,

if you're not old enough to understand the

reference,

not old enough to understand that

reference, then I don't,

I don't know what to do for you.

Well,

another thing that happened to me today is

I have one o'clock meeting.

So it's one of those days where you

didn't get out and get it done.

Yeah.

And, uh, I had quarter to twelve.

I was like, Oh shit.

I have no time to eat lunch.

So went over,

grabbed a handful of beef jerky,

put it in my pocket.

Pocket jerky.

All right.

Jerky, man.

And I'm sitting there thinking, you know,

the grandma's with the butterscotches,

you know, in church and stuff.

And I'm the grumpy old man with some

jerky in my pocket.

Pocket jerky.

That's better than pocket sand.

I will say that.

Pocket jerky Scott just living his best

life out here.

Is that jerky in your pocket?

Yes.

You mean to tell me you don't have

pocket jerking?

If you don't have pocket jerky,

you're not living, man.

I'm trying to tell you,

you ain't living right.

Get on Scott's level.

People see you pulling stuff out of your

pocket and eat that nice.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Just beef jerky with the Clydesdale.

Jerky with the Clydesdale.

A hundred percent, dude.

I love it.

Pocket jerky somehow sounds perverted.

It does a little bit.

only if you think that way vicky that's

mostly on you big mostly on you just

saying uh trent has had some pocket food

in her day you know what i believe

that she's a cop man like you gotta

do what you gotta do sometimes get jerky

and get jazzy that's the new shirt right

there that's it get jerky and get jazzy

I hope I see you sometime soon because

I'm going to ask you if you have

any jerky on you whenever I run across

you.

You got any jerky in your pocket?

As a matter of fact...

I could use some protein right now if

you happen to have any.

Let me reach into my pocket.

Hold on for a second.

There you go.

Wait, it's under my keys.

Hold on.

Would you like a beef stick or just

a dehydrated jerky or...

You know what?

At this point, beggars can't be choosers.

Mostly what I don't want is the lint

associated with pocket jerking.

That can't be good.

Yeah.

Dude,

desperate times call for desperate

measures.

You got to do what you got to

do sometimes.

Hey,

I'm sure a games athlete on the way

from event three to event four has had

some pocket jerky.

Absolutely.

Or the closest approximation thereof.

I mean,

whatever that ends up looking like.

I'm imagining Brent Fikowski probably has

some chicken and rice in his pocket

somewhere.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Yeah.

Would not surprise me in the least.

Probably not the rice just loose in his

pocket, but.

I got to use protection for pocket jerky.

Oh.

Police.

You know, I should never,

ever wonder if we're going to have

something to talk about on this show.

No, we're good.

We're good.

Somehow, some way,

topics just pop up for us.

So speaking of,

because you asked me to save it yesterday.

Oh,

I have it at the top of my

list, man.

Yeah, perfect.

Now, everybody get ready.

Corey is going to take control of the

show and do a share screen.

Hold on for a second.

My little boys growing up.

Oh yeah.

It's fantastic guys.

Um,

so it turns out Pucks of Tony does

in fact have a high school and we

found their mascot.

who looks a whole lot like,

if you've ever been to Buc-ee's,

this looks a whole lot like the Buc-ee's

beaver that is sitting outside.

They are, in fact, the... The Chucks.

The Chucks, yes, thank you.

They are, in fact, the Chucks.

So if you are not from Western

Pennsylvania, woodchuck, groundhog,

pretty much the same thing.

Well, it's the same thing.

Yeah.

They just went with the chucks instead of

the hogs, which I mean, whatever.

One or six of one half a dozen

or the other.

But there we go.

That is this statue of their mascot,

which is outside of their school.

And I love that they gave him a

key to the city in the palm of

his hand.

As they should.

I mean, Scott,

we're talking about this yesterday.

Of course they gave him the key to

the city.

He's in charge of the weather.

He, at the most, excuse me,

at the least,

he deserves a key to the city,

if not a key to the whole damn

country.

So there he is, ladies and gentlemen.

And for those of you who weren't with

us yesterday,

I had a story about Punxsutawney and going

to see the Groundhog live.

And this is what came of it.

This is what came of it.

all right now oh and he knows how

to stop sharing too look at that if

i had two screens we'd be in trouble

uh jason bourne you are not lying

groundhog day is such a great movie

groundhog day is a fantastic film do you

know what's great about groundhog day is

the underrated acting ability of chris

elliott dude yes

Chris Elliott and the dude that played the

insurance salesman, whose name escapes me.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

He was the principal in the Goldbergs.

Yes,

and he was in a couple of different

things.

He was in sneakers as well.

Played a real good geek computer nerd guy.

But just to keep doing that same thing.

Ned Ryerson.

Yeah.

Yes.

Yes.

Needle nose Ned.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

But for him to be able to like,

repeat it over and over and over again.

And like, even though, you know,

Bill Murray's doing different things every

single time, dude, I thought that was,

it's one of my favorite parts of the

movie.

The best time though, is when Bill Murray,

Ned's Ned,

and he's so taken aback that a guy

is being like him to him.

Outstanding.

Yes.

Yeah.

That's, that's awesome.

Well,

I don't have a ton of time today,

so I want to jump into some CrossFit

stuff.

Sure.

It's super,

super exciting announcement last night.

Did you say it?

I did not.

It ought to be super exciting right now

to me.

The pig and the snail.

Both.

Both are coming back for the twentieth

anniversary.

Yes, indeed.

Are you kidding me?

That's amazing.

That's going to be fun to watch.

Whatever it is.

I don't even care if they're not in

the same event.

So much the better.

So this is how my mind works, right?

Put them together,

and it will be the slowest sprint in

the history of the CrossFit.

A hundred percent.

You want to talk about power output?

Let's see what you got.

Because that snail, dude,

the way it's built,

you can't build momentum.

Nope.

It's going to go as fast as it

goes.

And that is it.

That thing is outstanding, dude.

Oh, I love it.

Uh,

now they need to bring back the

wheelbarrow, the real one,

not the rogue one that's built to hold

cannon balls.

And no, no, no, no.

The one that,

the one that they built like three hours

before they went down and picked up a

whole bunch of them that, uh,

once his face just picked up and it

just went that was a rogue one wasn't

it that was a rogue one that was

a rogue one yeah one of them actually

fell apart on the first time they did

it it broke broke yeah yeah because they

went to home depot and we're just like

i need

I mean, I love both apparatus.

Because if you do not,

if you are not efficient,

you are going to get demolished.

Quickly.

Axe Matt Fraser.

Right.

As he fell off a rope.

You know,

two of our greatest champions have fallen

from the rope.

One of them had a crash mat.

One of them didn't.

One of them did not.

One of them's crash mat was a Home

Depot bucket.

Which is not what you want to...

Chuck Buck gets looking up going, oh shit.

Yeah, oh no.

Which is not what you want to land

on coming from, you know, twelve,

fifteen feet in the air.

Not a fantastic thing.

Dude, that's... Okay, that's good news.

I like that a lot.

A whole lot.

Whether it's climbing snail,

whether they put both together,

whether it's, you know,

twenty five pig flips for time.

I don't care.

I really don't care.

I'm just glad that they're both back.

The only big flip,

the pig flip is so iconic, right?

Yeah.

One,

because it's been part of two of the

most iconic events.

events ever in the, in the CrossFit games.

It was part of the Capitol.

It's how it started.

Yep.

And it was,

it was that event that Matt Frazier fell

off the damn rope.

Yeah.

Because he never did a tire flip.

Everybody said,

don't do a curl when you get it

to your knees.

And what did my dumb ass do?

Fifteen curls.

That's exactly what he said.

I watched that documentary not that long

ago.

And every time that part comes up,

because then they start telling me about,

don't worry about it, dude.

Your rope climbs will get better.

He's like,

my legless rope climbs are fine.

Yeah.

He had no grip left from the pig

flip, man.

No grip.

That's look,

that stuff right there is what made me

a Matt Fraser fan from the get go.

He's like, no dude, I'm my,

cause I know how that kind of stuff

feels when people tell you stuff and it's

like, dude, my rope climbs are fine.

It's not what happened.

I understand what you saw.

Right.

But what you saw was not actually what

took place.

I understand you are correct.

It was also part of the Burden Run.

It was just a different version of the

pig.

It was a different version of the pig.

It's the same ones that JR has at

Crash, those with the handles on them.

I even think it was an iteration before

that because those are flip sleds.

Yeah.

I think this was like Rogue's first draft

at the Burden Run.

And then they decided,

then they took away the handles.

Like,

now we're going to cover this thing in

vinyl.

And you're going to have nothing to grip.

There's like a little ledge.

So like the top of it looks like

a Lego, right?

We had one at Polaris.

Yeah.

So that's,

but that's all you get is what I'm

saying.

Like it's what.

If you call that a ledge,

like I don't want to be out on

it.

That's for sure.

Right.

Like you got to kind of.

Cause it is, there's not much to grip.

No.

And I'm, that's by design.

I guarantee it.

Yeah,

I think they saw the bird and run

and they made the two point O version

with the red vinyl around it.

Yeah.

And then the pretty picture of the rogue

pig, like the pig on the side.

Yeah, fantastic.

Better branding on two point O.

This is how much the pig pissed Matt

Fraser off,

is he bought one for use after those

games and was not going to get beaten

by it again.

That was amazing.

There's something wrong in the world,

Dave.

I don't know what it is.

Thanks a lot, Kenneth DeLapp.

Fantastic.

Sorry, my Steven Tyler scream is... Oh,

that's all right, dude.

Not the perfect pitch yet.

Steven Tyler, is it?

No,

that takes a whole lot of work and

effort to be able to get to do

the things that he does with his voice.

Even though he does, in fact,

look like an eighty five year old retired

lady.

So that happened yesterday.

Super stoked for that.

Shit, yeah.

I also want to...

So I put out a comment.

I put out a reel from Sunday Night

Show where Jamie...

We were talking about...

streaming and pay-per-view and someone in

the comments said,

CrossFit's going to add pay-per-view and F

the whole thing up.

Right.

And Jamie was like,

in response to that comment,

like I would rather do a pay-per-view for

that event than pay for a monthly

subscription, essentially.

I'm paraphrasing big time.

Right.

Do you know how many people have said,

if CrossFit goes to pay-per-view,

then they're only going to have two

viewers and blah, blah, blah.

Right.

Well,

you're going to have three because in

addition to Jamie,

I'm going to go ahead and pay to

watch the games.

And I'm the same.

I feel the same way she does.

Like, I'm not paying.

Hey, call it whatever.

Flow Elite.

Flow Elite.

I think she called it Watcha Gigi.

Yeah, she did call it Watcha Gigi.

I don't understand how she feels.

I'm not paying Flow Elite.

whatever ridiculous amount of money they

want a month for all the in-between stuff.

Because I don't care about the rest of

the niche events that they cover,

you know,

that they show up for and stream.

Especially considering the fact that their

streaming is not always fantastic.

It still cuts out from time to time.

I need to hit this button just real

quick.

Hold on.

Go for it.

Hold on.

The expectation that you get entertainment

for free boggles my freaking mind.

We have been so spoiled in the CrossFit

world that they have put on a high-value

production event at the games,

at regionals,

for years and years and years for free.

And now, anything less than that...

perfect stream we bitch about and we're

not paying for it we're not paying for

it you would not walk into a movie

theater and expect to watch a movie for

free you would not go to a baseball

game and get and jump over the turnstile

and not hand them a ticket

Not even jump over to turnstile.

Just be allowed through.

Right.

You will get tackled faster than Ray Lewis

getting a quarterback.

A hundred percent.

The fact that people expect their

entertainment to be free is mind boggling

to me.

Demand it.

And we know CrossFit doesn't have Reebok

money anymore.

CrossFit doesn't have the big sponsorships

anymore.

Go to any live event and see the

three vendors that are there.

You realize that the well is tap dry.

They get upset at the thought that

Mayhem's event might not be streamed.

or that Legends event might not be

streamed,

or they get mad at frickin' Savant's crew

for going up in the woods to put

on a live stream,

and it doesn't work perfectly the entire

time.

Are you kidding me?

Have you seen where NorCal was?

And did you have to pay for NorCal?

No!

No.

It was free.

And all those people donated all that time

and their resources to give it to you

for free.

And it's still not good enough.

And it's, oh my God,

it was blurry for ten seconds.

Yeah, it was.

If you can do better, by all means,

do better.

That's been our rule for get for a

open workout redos since I've been doing

the open.

Like,

I don't know if I should redo that.

Can you do better?

Yeah.

Well then do better.

Okay, cool.

I'll go ahead and redo it.

And I feel the same way about the

rest of it, dude.

Like if you can put it on for

better, by all means, please come do it.

Like I am telling you where we are

at a line where I'm not sure the

CrossFit games are going to happen much

longer.

Because the most important thing that

CrossFit needs is affiliates and a company

to oversee those affiliates.

The games are an add-on.

And at some point,

if it doesn't make economical sense

anymore or isn't driving people to

affiliates, it's going to go away.

So if they're looking for another revenue

stream,

to help fund it,

our first response should not be to bitch

about it.

The same people that bitch about that will

go and buy a twenty five dollar iced

mocha frappuccino three times a week and

not even blink.

But God forbid,

I need to throw twenty dollars towards a

to be able to watch a stream all

weekend of my favorite athletes complete

competing in the thing that I do.

Nothing is free, Scott.

I pay my box who pays CrossFit a

fee.

I paid for the open.

I paid for quarterfinals to pay for

semifinals.

Yeah.

I paid enough to view the games for

free.

if I pay to see matrix one,

matrix two, matrix three,

I still have to pay to see matrix

four.

Yeah, but don't, it sucked so bad.

It was terrible.

Bad example.

I understand what you mean.

Rocky two, Rocky three.

And then I don't get to go see

Rocky four for free.

Right.

Right.

And,

I feel like the athletes are the ones

they're trying to milk the money out of

when it should be the people watching it

for entertainment.

I got one of my real good friends

who does not do CrossFit and never has,

but watches the games every year,

like keeps up with the season and whatnot

because he thinks the stuff that they do

is incredible.

He's more of a,

I wouldn't even say bodybuilder,

but just he keeps himself fit.

He works out, you know,

four or five days a week, whatever.

And like when it comes around to the

games time,

I know I'll get a text from Brad

at some point and we'll have a

conversation about what Tia's doing or

what this one's doing or what that one's

doing or whatnot.

And he would probably pay to watch the

games all weekend,

even though he does not do CrossFit

because, oh, behind the paywall.

All right, cool.

What is it, twenty bucks for the weekend?

Sweet.

Avera says,

if you do not want to grow CrossFit,

yeah, they should charge a fee.

Almost nobody cares about competitive

fitness as it is.

If you can show me a correlation to

putting on a great production of the games

and the growth of CrossFit,

then I'm with you.

If you can show me a games production

where they advertise something besides

CrossFit itself,

it's like you're selling ice to Eskimos at

that point.

Like the ads during the CrossFit games,

generally speaking,

are for CrossFit boxes.

So you might get sunk on the odd

chance that there are people watching,

like my boy Brad,

who is not going to go to CrossFit

games,

but nobody's stumbling across it on the

internet.

You're not stumbling it across on YouTube.

You're not flipping through channels on

YouTube and what is this?

Why are these people running around and

throwing barbells around?

So that's kind of a really,

really weird thing.

How insane would it be if Dave just

throws an insane twentieth year and they

just cut it next year?

It was never supposed to be.

What we see now was never supposed to

happen.

It was never supposed to happen.

And the problem is they got spoiled with

a shit ton of Reebok money.

For years.

And it grew beyond what it should have

in those days.

Too quick, too fast,

unsustainable for the amount without them

steady,

just pumping cash into it without Reebok

still just having that pipeline of money,

just rolling on through it.

It was never going to,

it was never going to,

you need to have,

it needs to be some, some, some way,

some way, shape or form sustainable.

Because if it's not,

especially with this new CEO coming in,

he's already said it several different

times, man.

Look, if it's not serving us,

it's not going to be around.

period uh i just want to say i

dig the riff alert it's been sitting it's

been sitting in there for a while i

just haven't i haven't hit the button in

a while scott has to he had to

knock the dust off of it to be

able to hit it kind of like the

lint off my pocket jerky so much pocket

jerky

Again, better than Pocket Sand.

If you don't know what Pocket Sand is,

I need you to watch King of the

Hill.

God, I love that show.

I don't know if you can,

can you see my Hank Hill Lego?

Sure enough.

Right there.

Trey, you need a schmear alert.

We also haven't, we haven't had,

we haven't talked shit about fucking WFP

in quite some time, dude.

There's been no need to.

That's an excellent question, Alito.

I don't know.

I'm sure there are measurables that they

are looking at at CrossFit HQ,

but they keep so much of their numbers

and stuff tight to the vest that as

an outsider,

it's really hard to get any kind of

judgment about anything.

Yeah.

I mean, she's got a great point.

How would you measure it even if it's

not pay-per-view?

How are you going to measure that?

Like,

aside from legitimately putting up a

survey during the weekend sometime.

Dude,

my first professional job was surveying.

If you got fifteen percent of the surveys

back, you were lucky.

That's what I'm talking about.

That's what I was getting at.

And that's not going to do anybody any

good.

But like, aside from saying,

if you're watching this and you don't

actually do CrossFit,

but you sign up later,

please drop us a line.

Let us know.

Because there's no way if you do like

a long term survey or not survey,

but like a long term, I guess,

process of looking at it and go, OK,

the games happened, you know,

the weekend of July twenty third,

twenty fifth, whatever.

and then go the next three months see

if how many people signed up for boxes

like signed up at their local box after

that like oh we got ten new members

this box got fifteen new members i guess

you could charge chart it like that but

that's that's not really and it's a lot

of assumptions right that that that's you

know it's the causation and correlation

thing like

Did they just happen to sign up then?

We've been having a little bit of a

boom at the gym.

Got a whole bunch of new members that

have signed up the past couple of months.

I met a new guy this morning at

five a.m.

class.

I didn't even know was signed up.

But if that happens after the games and

we get ten new members,

just because you get on those streaks,

you start getting more members,

more members, more members, more members,

and it kind of drops off for a

little bit.

That's natural ebb and flow.

It's like saying, oh, yeah,

we got a whole bunch of new members

this year.

Why?

I don't know.

We put on a nice Friday night light.

We like to think it was that.

And maybe it was but it's all an

assumption.

A very asked doesn't CrossFit get paid by

YouTube for views?

It's not that simple.

It's not you really can't tell how the

payments coming in.

Because it's not really based on views.

It's based on ad watch, ad watch time.

Or if somebody paid a membership that's a

viewer,

and they don't give you that breakdown

when they show you your stuff.

So your thirty seven cents going about

your day.

Yeah.

And you don't really know how that episode

gained thirty seven cents, right?

No,

because it's a combination of like three

different things and they don't.

It's mostly in it.

It is.

Yeah, so even if, like,

I don't know if you'll notice or not,

but July starts at the first and runs

all the way through the end of the

month.

So, like,

they're going to have other stuff going

on.

It's a lot of assumptions, guesswork,

kind of, maybe, sort of, I don't know,

let's find out, type deal.

I'm trying to, yeah, I'm trying to.

Speaking of making of assumptions,

don't make an assumption out of you and

me when it comes to your sleep and

recovery.

Try Thirdsy today and you can do it

for fifteen percent off.

Code Jazzy at checkout or go to

Thirdsy.com backslash Jazzy.

get fifteen percent off and you don't have

to assume if you're going to get fifteen

percent off you know you're going to get

fifteen percent off hundred percent and

the other thing you're going to know is

deeper sleep more recovery and tested so

you don't pop at competitions at least not

for that yeah not valid in brazil it's

actually as valid to brazil and just

anyway

I think I need to take some of

that thirty seven cents I make off of

this episode and get Vicki some typing

lessons.

I mean.

Not my best work.

I think you did good.

If it takes you four comments to get

get all the words right.

Speaking of.

Yeah,

I just like how she made it rhyme.

Like, where is it?

It just went away for me.

Don't make an assumption out of you and

me when it comes to your sleep and

recovery.

job there you go uh scott does your

wife use thirdsy too no because i asked

her to no that's fair dude i'm just

telling you that's fair that's the hats if

i would have just left it on the

counter and let it be she probably would

be using it every night yep but because

i asked her to you know how you

know how i know my wife thinks greased

in

Not every day,

but probably four days a week because I

make her coffee in the morning.

You just slip it in?

I put her a scoop.

She goes on about her business.

You're creatine roofing your wife?

Oh, no.

She's not roofing.

She knows it's in there.

But she just won't do it on her

own.

And look,

she literally just has to open the cabinet

and pull it out.

and put it in herself because she, she,

she's a fan of it.

Like she understands what it does.

She gets it.

Like, it's okay.

But the only way she gets it is

if I give it to her.

Yeah.

Creatine roofie.

There are worse roofies.

Uh, that's how your,

that's how his kids came out.

There are worse roofies or so I've been

told.

Um,

the other things i have are going to

take too long and i've got this one

o'clock meeting so yep uh i'm super

excited about what's to come at the games

uh i signed my media credential

acknowledgement blah blah blah last night

looking at final flights looking at camera

lenses to rent so i can get some

better content you can rent camera lenses

You can.

Wow.

Some some camera lenses are like twenty

thousand dollars.

Oh, I believe it.

And so a lot of even big time

photographers just rent them for the job

they're doing.

It's got to be a pretty lucrative

business, I would imagine.

Yeah, I I Google.

Well, one, I checked with my consultant,

my daughter, the photographer,

and and the amount of people in Columbus

that rent out the the lenses is insane.

Dave's chats with Ella Wilkinson,

Lydia Fish,

and Gabby Magala were real good.

I saw two of the three so far.

I've not seen Lydia's yet.

The note I took down is,

is Dave truly interviewing or is he doing

research?

I would say research.

I would legitimately say research.

Because I've listened to a lot of them

in the last three days.

And I swear, I swear he's like,

what are you good at?

Yeah.

What do you struggle with?

So what have you not been working on?

It's what it feels like.

And it looks like at times he's taking

notes.

Yeah.

He's like,

so you haven't really been riding a bike,

huh?

That's interesting.

Yeah, on a bike ride.

Oh, I didn't watch that.

I did watch his the behind the scenes

making

crafting the games, whatever it's called,

yesterday with part two or part three or

whatever it was,

when he apparently had an animal just

soaking and some dog pulled out and

whatnot.

But the stuff they were talking about,

whoever edited that did a real good job

because they'll let you get right up to

it, whatever they're talking about,

and then cut it.

Yep.

And I kind of feel bad for Rafa

because he basically,

apparently one of the events is going to

be to clean up the grounds at the

ranch.

Yeah.

Hey, Rafa,

can you lug that tree out of the

way?

Bro,

Dave needs to learn how that pole saw

actually works because he almost got taken

out by that limb.

That did not look good.

So Ed says,

but if he already has the workouts laid

out,

it doesn't matter what the athletes say.

Here's what I'm going to tell you, Ed.

Again,

I volunteered at the games in twenty

seventeen, worked North Park.

Stuff changed.

Strongman's fear changed three times from

the time we got there and started working

on everything as a volunteer to when the

event actually went off.

So, yeah,

the basic concept of it was there.

Literally, they put it out there.

He changed the strap on the sled pool.

Forty seconds before the first heat went.

It's the old.

We're going to put the track down as

the train's coming.

Well,

and I think the track is like all

the parts are there and they're kind of

in position,

but you may move them like a couple

inches to the right or the left,

or maybe you put a couple extra support

pieces

rails in between or you just you get

everything out there and actually on the

floor and you look around you go something

just doesn't feel right or whatnot and you

kind of work on it and you go

oh okay yeah let's do this right now

um dave they're about to take the floor

they can wait for ten seconds it'll be

all right

Well,

he is not big on saying they can

wait ten seconds because he wants to stay

on time.

Yeah.

But he's like,

you got forty five seconds to wrap this

black duct tape around all ten straps

before they go.

So go.

You might want to hurry.

Yeah.

Now,

and he'll be out there with you wrapping

duct tape because he wants to get it

done.

But yeah,

it gets tweaked right up until three, two,

one, as Andrew Sten said.

Yeah.

And even then they might change for the

next stage group.

Is that true?

That's how I cook dinner too, Vicki.

Oh, by the way,

I need to shout out Dan church as

another one of mine.

Very good.

Uh,

friends slash my unofficial official

weightlifting coach and whatnot that i met

here because he fussed at me this morning

he says probably recency bias because i

haven't been in a chat but you know

me dang damn it and i was like

i do know you my bad dude i

love you dan uh trink as we spoke

yesterday the red barn is in aromas that's

been announced the sap center is in san

jose

So we already know those two locations.

But again,

the ranch is the worst kept secret of

this year's games.

But the Red Barn is in Aromas.

The Red Barn is not just in Aromas.

It basically backs up to the ranch.

Yep.

Do they announce master workouts early?

Probably.

I don't know.

Yes.

Yes.

Maybe not all of them, but yeah,

they will definitely announce them.

Bob and Joe are pretty good for that.

And it's usually like a couple of days

before the event, if they do it,

like they did legends.

And I think they did the same thing

last year for, uh, for the games,

the last two years for the games.

I wish they would put out a schedule

of times for planning.

There's a lot going on from Wednesday to

Friday that will require some pre-planning

to see what you want.

Well, one,

you're probably not going to get to see

the Wednesday.

Unless you pay for the VIP pass.

And Thursday, I'm guessing,

is going to be an off day.

It seems like it's going to be the

way that everything's laying out.

Amanda,

I'm just going to leave this here because

I don't want to be the one that

says it again.

I'll say it.

She's not wrong.

Bob and Joe are awful with announcements.

She is not wrong.

They'll put stuff out and then change it

at the,

and two hours later and make

clarification.

Like I that's,

that's been par for the course,

but she's not wrong.

I did not pay for the VIP pass.

I have media credentials.

I don't even know what that gets me.

Um, I have a pit pass.

I have the regular media credential.

I don't, I don't know.

So Ortega's saying,

Dave said Thursday is a rest day.

So if Thursday is a rest day,

Wednesday is going to be something to

witness.

I've never heard him commit to Thursday as

a rest day.

He was asked that in a couple of

the interviews and never fully committed

to yes, it is.

And I got to get out of here,

so we'll leave it with give Micah the

Masters next year.

That doesn't need any context with that.

Not at all.

You know what?

You wouldn't wait to get to the editing

room to jazz me up.

I'm already jazzy.

From the gym to the screen, yeah,

we cover it all.

Midday motivation every time we press

call.

Lunch with the Clydesdale Cowboy,

bring the heat.

CrossFit, movies, music, home repeat.
