What's going on, everybody?

Welcome to lunchtime.

A little break from the workday.

Get to hang out with my friends.

Talk about entertainment, sports,

and CrossFit.

Yesterday, we got some bad news.

So I'm going to lighten it

up a little bit.

But I want to share

something from a few years

back to honor someone we

lost yesterday from my childhood.

and that is the one great

late Ozzy Osbourne.

Stupid bloody bag,

never get the bloody... Hey, Dad?

No, no, no, I'm just... Dad,

we really want to show you something.

I've got something to do,

I'm trying to... I really

should see this.

What is it, then?

What is it?

These aren't Pepsis.

They're Pepsi Twists.

You're a bunch of bloody magicians.

We're not the Osbournes.

You're not?

We're the Osmonds!

I'm a little bit country.

I'm a little bit rock and roll.

Sharon!

Sharon,

the kids have turned into the Osmonds.

Oh, there, there, dear.

Go back to sleep.

Like twists?

Ozzy Osbourne.

Died yesterday.

He was someone Christian Keller.

I'm surprised he made it

seventy six years.

I think all of us are

surprised he made it seventy six years.

When I was in high school,

he was the counterculture.

He was everything against racism.

the standard he was

frightening he was

ferocious and then the

nineties rolled around and

he started to do reality TV

with his family and then we

got the goofy crazy Aussie

but man my childhood that

man was scary as hell

parents feared him so much

and now he's gone

He's gone.

Marat,

I am surprised you didn't make it

another thirty.

All those drugs kept him alive.

Yeah, like with the alcohol,

he was definitely pickled inside.

But yeah.

And the famous Sharon.

But yeah, I was surprised about that.

I actually really got into his music later,

probably in college.

really started to appreciate

it a lot um pretty crazy

that uh we've lost him so

um just wanted to start off

the show with that the next

thing I want to talk about

is um yesterday is why I

after uh corey and I were

on I listened to the end of

savan's podcast yesterday

And Sivan was talking about

a change that I had made

and that he wanted to call

me a few years back and

give me some advice.

And he was kind of going

through what he thought I

had been going through over the last few,

I guess, the few months.

And he described that if

you're in a rut and you're

playing it safe,

you're just going to stay in the rut.

And he described and used an

analogy that like when you go on the air,

it should feel like you're

jumping out of an airplane.

And that's what I feel like now.

I feel like,

and he described it as a dance.

I've showed you guys over

the last few weeks.

I don't have notes.

I just have some topics we

may want to talk about.

but I really don't have notes.

And so we talk about topics on the show.

You guys give input.

We kind of react to that.

What you get now is my

honest expression of what I

feel in those moments and

how I feel about things.

And that becomes like a

dance every day because I

never really know what the

show is going to be.

And that's, I think, the biggest...

I think that's the biggest

difference with what's going on.

And also, when I'm on here by myself,

I don't have to worry about

offending anybody.

It's just me giving my opinions.

It's very unfiltered now.

And I'm really enjoying it.

When I say jump out of plane,

I don't mean like I'm

leaping to my death.

I mean, every day now,

there is an adrenaline rush

coming on the air.

So I'm super stoked about that,

that he kind of described

what I was feeling.

And so that's exactly what I feel like.

Dense updates.

I have to take notes so I

don't forget anything.

I do forget topics,

so I do have a list of topics,

and I'll show you guys again.

That's my notes.

There's nothing.

It's just a list of topics

that we can touch on if I hit a lull,

but there's no detail to any of it.

Okay.

Unrelated,

but have you all seen the bear

Castro posted in the story?

Is that a CrossFit hint?

And if so, what?

I have not dug into the Castro clues yet.

So, I don't know.

Instead of rumors, I see it here,

Joseph Ramirez, Clydesdale Day.

I declare today Clydesdale Day.

know you're not allowed to

declare your own nickname

but I'm clear declaring the

day clydesdale day any day

that an event at the

crossfit games becomes one

rep max back squat

clydesdales rejoice all over the world

I literally got a text from

Larry young last night,

John's dad saying they've

put a heavy thing in the, in the games.

I can,

I'm not allowed to bitch for two weeks.

I won't know what to do on

all these podcasts.

And so, um, I thought that was hilarious.

That is my wheelhouse.

One rep max back squat.

I would love, love, love to do that.

Um,

I have not missed a back

squat since two thousand fourteen.

So I've never truly, truly maxed it out.

Right before my last back procedure,

I was heading to five

hundred and I got to four seventy five.

then I had to have my my

final back procedure and so

I've not had the confidence

to go up for it again but

that is what I I wanted to

do and I've ne I've never

pushed myself to where I

had to dump a back squat I

have not missed one

And over ten years.

But I haven't really pushed

in the last four.

So.

See,

you cardio people want to add cardio

to a beautiful event that

is just line it up, get under the bar,

drop down, push it up.

Come on.

Just once in our lives can

we have just a pure, pure strength event.

And it's not technique.

It is just pure power.

I always get this wrong.

The cat's meow.

Who let the cats me out?

Yeah, that's it.

Gosh, I always forget that.

I imagine there must be some

kind of twist with that workout,

maybe a two-parter.

It just seems weird to have

a one rep max back squat as

a whole event when the

CrossFit total already exists.

you listen to hillary last

night he talked about it

being by itself and how

beautiful that is and not

being like polluted by

other um events and I

that's why I love it I love

that we're just lining up

getting under a heavy bar

can you drop down and can

you lift it up simple

beautiful elegant powerful

yes it's clydesdale day

uh CK Kevin I hit for fifty

a few years ago now at

fifty five I don't really

see the point want to stay

close to that though yep

you're the same age as I am

Kevin um yeah I hit four

seventy five at like fifty

one and yeah I just don't I

just can't I wanted to hit

five hundred one more time

um but I I don't think

that's in the cards anymore

uh jay birch for ten is my

best but like you I've

never dumped one I didn't

say I never dumped one I

said I haven't dumped one

since um she is with the

important question will

they have theatrical lights

yeah I think they're I

heard they're bringing in

the wwe to give it like a

special effect and everything

Marat, one rep max squat is great.

Not every test at the games.

Needs to be a for-time workout.

Better question is,

will they turn the lights

off mid-attempt?

That could be the twist.

You have to do half of it in the dark.

Judy says, Colton or Nick?

Don't forget Tudor.

Don't forget my boy Tudor.

Joseph Ramirez, women, Kerstetter, Prevost,

and Walton.

My pick is Annika Greer.

Annika Greer, Olivia Kerstetter.

um load your bar in the dark

lift whatever weight you

load so you just have to

guess um austin had five

hundred for two the other

day so he'll be up there

too yeah I think there'll

be a good a good chunk of men over five

What's crazy is if you go

back to the CrossFit total

in twenty of the five men that were there,

nobody hit five.

Now, five years later,

I bet you we have a good chunk over five.

Christian Kettler, Olivia.

trained olive echoing denny

or jenny jenny and dense

updates mixed together is

denny yeah um nick has done

five seventy if colton

could do more that's

outrageous man colin just

does not have a long range

of motion to get down and back up

Lito asks, what is the equivalent of .

.

.

That is what I'm hearing.

It's somewhere around the .

.

.

What are your thoughts on

low bar brought up by Hiller?

I like low bar, actually.

I do think it makes you stronger,

but it takes a lot of upper

body mobility to get there.

so um when I was low bar

like I really had to

stretch out my shoulders um

to get that strong position

on your back you really

have to have a lot of range

of motion to get into that low bar

But I think the big factor

to the back squat is going

to be what is the rack

they're going to use.

If it's two poles with a

thing on it and you're doing big weights,

I think people are going to

be conservative because

they're afraid they're

going to miss the re-rack.

I hope they do something a

little more stable to be

able to re-rack the heavyweights.

Um,

probably too late to work on low bar at

this point.

Yeah.

If you're not used to it, you, and yeah,

I bet way fewer women hit

three fifty than men hit five hundred.

I don't disagree with you on that one.

Who let the cat, um,

Yeah, I think you probably only have three,

maybe four on the women's side.

I bet you have over five,

hit five on the men's side.

Sarah Cooper,

is it just the bar lower on

your back as opposed to the

shoulder-ish height?

Yeah,

you're going further down on your back,

more on your shoulder blade

than up like on your traps.

And the other thing is...

it allows you to kind of

bend over a little bit and

use your back more on the

lift up where if you're up on the traps,

you have to stay more, uh, up upright.

So, uh, winter Olympic girls do three,

fifteen for reps.

I'm sure.

Sounds sketchy.

It all depends on if you're

used to it or not.

It kind of buries into the muscle.

And you do have to have that

shoulder mobility to hold it in place.

So you have to have a strong

grip into that.

But it's not as sketchy as

it sounds if you're used to it.

You should not try it for

the first time doing a

heavyweight at the CrossFit Games.

I will say that.

so so yeah today is clyde

sale day all over the world

for all those back squat

lovers uh we'll get to see

that um happen at the

crossfit games I just and

I'm anxious to see how they

do it you know we joked

about the lighting

but are they going to do it

like they did like the

sandbag clean or maybe like

groups of four come up,

do the squat until it gets

down to a certain number.

Then we go down to like just

one squat rack on the floor,

keep upping the weight, let them go.

Or do they get three attempts or like,

what's it going to be?

Um,

Because I think if you want

to see the true heavy let's go,

you're going to have to leak it up,

leak it up,

and then kind of funnel it

down to one squat rack in

the middle of the floor.

Would anyone do it barefoot?

I don't think it would be

allowed to do it barefoot.

If you remember last two

years ago when Alex Kazan

lost her shoe on the floor,

they made her put her shoe

back on before she could finish the race.

And who let the cats out?

Great point.

You can win.

You win five hundred dollars

just for wearing the Lujan shoes.

if you actually win the event,

I think it's like three, three grand,

something like that.

And then if you watch the

Anika Greer interview with Dave,

he actually says in there

that they do have sponsors

for every event and there

will be prize money for events, first,

second, and third, uh, for every event.

Um,

So there will be prize money

for winning three K for

winning the back squat and

then two K for second one K for third.

The other thing he did

mention in that interview

with Anika is on the

crossover double unders.

They're not going to be required to use,

uh, the lights jump rope.

They can use whatever jump rope they wish.

CrossFit says five hundo to wear them.

Three K if you win.

So Tia's got at least fifteen hundred.

I think that's going to be

the I think that is going

to be an interesting story

for the back squat is how

much of Tia's pure strength

was taken away by training

for high rocks.

That's going to be the

hardest thing to build back

up in the time she has for the games.

And so I think that's going

to be a pretty good storyline to follow.

Um,

Jay Birch says they should do it like

the rogue deadlift conga style.

Um, and then someone says, I hope not.

That was painfully long.

I think it's event five.

So if it's event five,

that means there has to be

another event later in the day.

So I am sure it's gotta be,

it's going to be very, very timed out, um,

as to how this goes.

And so they can be done for event six.

And Vindicate makes a clear point.

No one who has a shoe

sponsor is going to wear them.

I wonder if people are going

to their sponsors asking, hey,

can I wear them just for

this event to get the money?

And what I would hope is

that their sponsor says,

we'll give you the five

hundred to wear our shoes.

Lito says, I'm telling you,

event six is max back squat

reps at fifty percent.

That gets that gets tricky.

I don't know,

because if you're still in it,

depending on how it's

formatted and you've done

more reps than anybody else

to get to your.

Yeah.

get to your weight and then

after that you got to turn

around and do more you're

at a distinct disadvantage

against everybody else in

the field and so I I don't

unless it's just you get

three shots and then you do

the fifty percent at reps

for fifty or at fifty

percent of whatever max

reps at fifty percent then

okay that's fine

Or you're also going to have

people game it who have no

shot to win the max.

So they're going to just do

a lighter load so they can

do way more reps once they

get to fifty percent.

So there's a lot of ways to cheat that.

If that makes sense.

So.

Yeah,

and I think and I don't like it

because it negates.

it negates the win for the

person on the max load,

then going for max reps.

It like, cause the,

the winner's probably going to be last.

The loser's probably going

to be first and it kind of

negates everything.

So, um,

Another thing I wanted to

share with you guys is if

you didn't see Dave's story,

you all know I am a massive, massive,

massive Chicago Bears fan.

And so what I want to show

you now is Dave shared this on his story.

This is Tyson Bajent.

The Bears did a promo where

they had training camp

opened up yesterday for the

Chicago Bears.

And they did the first day

of class kind of meme for

all the players coming in.

Only it was called first day

of training camp.

is awesome about this is I'm

going to fast forward this

you can see it in the lower

corner um this is tyson

bajan first day of training

camp and he puts on here

that when he he wants to be

a crossfitter when he grows

up who is doing more for crossfit

promoting the games,

promoting CrossFit as a

methodology than Tyson Bajan,

and he's not even getting

paid by CrossFit to do so.

I mean,

he's just doing this because he loves it,

and it really shows how

many top athletes going to

the games have done this

much promotion for the games.

Here's a guy in the National

Football League,

the biggest sport we have in America,

and every opportunity he

gets to say it in a press

conference or in a picture, he is pumping,

pumping CrossFit.

It's just amazing.

And he plays for my favorite team,

which makes it even better

that I get to follow his career.

I get to see stuff he does.

And if you weren't watching

back a few weeks ago,

A Chicago Bears reporter

went and was embedded with

Tyson the same weekend Hiller was there.

They did a special on him in

Chicago on a Bears podcast,

did a twenty minute feature

showing and promoting his

training methods, including CrossFit.

And it just was awesome.

And all of that is done

outside of the frames of

like the typical stuff.

So.

um just cool it was just

cool to see this um and I

and it just makes me wonder

why we don't see this much

from athletes we see the

sponsorships we see all the

stuff they're required to

do to make their money but

Other than, hey,

get twenty percent off your

ticket if you use my code.

What promotion to the

CrossFit Games have we seen

other than Dallin Pepper

doing his countdown with

his wife and Jason Hopper

doing some stuff similar to that?

Nobody else has been pushing.

Hey, games are ten days away.

Hey, games are five days away.

Hey, come to the games.

Watch us do this.

We got a guy in the NFL

doing more than that.

There's something wrong with that.

If you love this sport and

you want to make it a professional sport,

promote what the hell we're doing.

It's more than just contracts.

It's more than just sponsorships.

It's getting people into the seat,

getting eyeballs on the sport.

I mean,

the other day it was announced that

DAZN is going to be the app

that you can watch the CrossFit Games on.

I'm on here going, just download the app.

I don't care if you use it.

But DAZN needs to see that

we as CrossFitters are

going to use the product.

So just download the app so

they have numbers to show a

correlation with and that

the announcement that the

games are going to be on it

so that we can prove that

we're worth the investment.

CrossFit,

I hope CrossFit isn't paying DAZN

for their time.

I would not see that.

I think DAZN needs CrossFit

as much as CrossFit needs them.

The zone needs to fill time slots.

They need to fill content.

They only become a valuable

app if there is content for

people to watch.

And they need to make deals

to get events to do that.

And that's why we as

consumers should be

downloading the app to show

that we're worth the investment.

Whether you end up watching

games on YouTube because

you like the format of that much better,

That's fine.

Just download the app.

Just download the app.

Vindicate, Travis says,

Brooke made one post and

didn't even say CrossFit Games in it.

I know a lot of people have

picked on Brooke for this,

and she has not.

She does not promote the games,

but I can name you ten

others that don't either.

Sarah brings up a good point.

The proven camp has done a

great job with content,

getting ready for the games.

They have, they really, really have.

I would say proven as a

company has done that,

but look at the individual athletes,

Instagram pages.

There's nothing, nothing.

And I know they're focused

on themselves and getting

themselves ready.

But gosh, if you want this to grow,

you want the prize money to grow,

you have to promote the

sport that you're trying to be in now.

I've been friends with Nick

Johnston for a long time,

prior to him even being with Proven.

and I think he's doing a

great job with the

promotion aspect of things

but he has a very good

business mind and um and he

gets it he gets what you

have to do if you want this

thing to be around for a

long time yeah craig I said

that dylan is killing it

corinne I think is even better at it um

I follow both of them.

Their promotion of the games is awesome.

Nick and Dwight live it.

Yes.

Yes, they are great.

Who let the cats?

I also can guarantee a lot

of these people who are

intentionally not pushing

the games are lab WFP people.

I wouldn't be surprised if

their contractual

obligation to promote WFP

also has stipulations about

not promoting other organizations.

That would be,

if I saw that that was actually true,

I'm one foot out on WFP right now.

I would be both feet out if

I found out that that was

in their contract.

Um, come on guys.

It's legacy week at HWPO,

whatever that means.

Uh,

just saying goodbye to all the athletes

they used to have.

Uh,

who are you most jazzed to see in Albany?

Um, from an athlete perspective, um,

From an athlete perspective,

who am I most jazzed to see?

It would be Anika Greer.

I've known Anika since she was sixteen.

I interviewed her when she

finally made the teen

CrossFit Games and then

they canceled them due to COVID.

And we've been friends ever since.

And to see her finally punch

her ticket to the games and

get there and she's going

to go out on that floor.

I'm just so excited that I'm

going to be there to see that.

So...

yeah that's who I'm most

jazzed to see uh in in

albany but I have I have a

lot of people that I'm you

know uh dylan lowen just

texted me today can't wait

to see him can't wait to

see ariel um I mean I have

a lot of friends over the years

And then the media company,

there's been some media

people reaching out to me.

Then I didn't get to go to

semis this year.

So I get to see a lot of my

friends in the media world.

I can't wait for that.

I see Aaron says top ten males.

We're actually going to do a pick show.

I was watching John Young

and Taylor and Bryson and

Tyler last night on Savan.

We're going to do our own

ranking probably this Sunday night.

So we'll reveal all that then.

I definitely don't agree with John's picks,

but I don't want to go down

through it and nitpick

until I make mine and make

it available for him to nitpick me.

so um so I'll give you those

but I did I did sign up for

the heat one app and I was

trying to kind of put it

together and I just

realized I need more time

than just to sit here and

do this uh it that the

males are going to be

impossible to rank

completely completely um impossible

is that true hwpo is moving

to boston they're moving to

o'keefe's hometown instead

of fraser's hometown about

annika she's going to need

to weather a storm on event

one she will I I hope

I hope that now that she's

made it to the games,

the pressure of failing a

run event will help her run

more free than it has at the semifinal.

But we'll see.

Oh,

they're moving to Vermont because or

moving from Vermont because

of the travel.

Matt announced it on the

morning chalk up video.

Okay.

All right.

This is now, I guess this is now a thing.

I'm so jazzed for Lucy Campbell's return.

I am too.

Lucy's Lucy's awesome.

I can't wait for that.

That's another person I can't wait.

I've never met her in person.

I had her on the show once.

We had a great conversation.

We've talked online a few times,

but I've never met her in person.

I was at the game she was at,

but we just kept missing each other.

really jazzed for the back

squat okay now they're

they're coming when are the

jazz t-shirts coming I

mentioned to my wife last

night she was like yes you

need to do that you need to

do jazzed t-shirts um I

guess well I I'll go talk

to my my girl who designs

uh the stuff we have she's

designed my logo my two

logos and I'll see what she

can come up with uh with

the jazz thing maybe I can

have them by the masters crossfit games

It can't be true that WFP

would prevent contracted

athletes from promoting

CrossFit since people like

Dallin are under contract.

True.

Aaron Frazier, yeah,

the Wooley Woodland thing.

Man, I'm going to get hammered here.

Let's go.

Here we are, the free, unfiltered Scott.

I tried to watch the latest video,

and I just couldn't.

I just couldn't.

um I like sean a lot um I've

actually known john woolley

a long time because he's

here in ohio um we've

always had a decent

relationship but I just I

just couldn't it just was

not my cup of tea um

I'll try again maybe in a few weeks.

Give them the benefit of the

doubt for a couple to start

off and see if they get in a groove.

It just seemed a little

clunky going back and forth.

Pretty rough first watch though.

Ah, yes,

travel location allowed mayhem to

be so powerful in Cookville.

Yeah,

but you're only an hour away from

Nashville.

I mean, it's not a bad travel.

Marat is,

I'm jazzed for the games in general,

the premier event this year.

I'd wear a Clydesdale shirt

with a horse saxophone and

a fedora on it.

Make it like Zatarain's logo.

Okay.

That's an idea.

Jazzed by the Clydesdale.

How do you think Sid

McElishan will do at the game's top ten?

I don't think top ten.

I think she's improving and

I think she's getting

better and I think that

I'd have to see her in person.

I know Sydney pretty well.

We actually followed her for

a season two years ago from

the open all the way through.

And I think that when she

was with Comp Train...

She became too analytical,

and she needed to let go a

little bit when she was out on the floor.

I have not seen her in

person this year to see that,

so I'd want to see if she

has gotten rid of that

over-analysis about everything.

Rambler,

how come you're a Mets fan in Ohio?

Well, here's the deal.

Not that anybody cares,

but I grew up in Pennsylvania,

about an hour north of Pittsburgh.

I was a Pirates fan my whole life.

I was a huge Bobby Bonilla fan.

Um,

when they let Bobby Benia go and he

went to the Mets,

then I defected for a

minute and I was a big,

and I just started rooting for the Mets.

Then the pirates started to

stink for like twenty five

years straight.

And I had no baseball to watch after June.

Um,

so I started just following the Mets and.

And then I started playing

softball after a while and

I wore a Mets hat when I

pitched and that was my good luck.

And I, now I just always own a Mets hat.

And then last year I really

got back into the Mets when they were, uh,

when I made it to the

national league championship series and,

uh,

really got into it and broke out the

hat again.

So I'm still a Pirates fan,

but they don't give me much to root for.

So I follow the Mets too so

that I can watch baseball

longer into the season.

Um...

uh sydney mcclellan isn't

she a bad runner she was

really working on the

running um and if you go

back through her instagram

there's some videos that

show she's really improved

on her uh running form and

I think she did much better

at wfp uh so hopefully

hopefully she's picked up I

don't think she's gonna win

any running events but I

think she's minimized the

damage that will happen

greatest baseball contract ever done,

Mets and Bobby Bonilla.

Yeah,

it was just Bobby Bonilla Day a

couple of days ago.

He's still getting paid by

the Mets like one point

something million a year.

Yeah, July first.

uh judy reed besides the

bucks ohio sports suck yeah

oh has to ohio sports suck

period I'm not a bucks fan

I'm a penn state fan and I

always take it on the chin

every year but this could

be the year it all changes

all right last I have so

many topics so we got lots

to talk about this week um

I just want a huge thank you

with the Hiller video

coming out this week.

A lot of people have been reaching out.

Some of those have been

listeners from all the way

back to when we were just

an audio podcast five years ago.

I know things have been

booming in the last six months,

but those people that have

been with us forever and

reaching out and reconnecting,

it was awesome.

It was awesome to hear from everybody.

I'm going to try to get

through all the YouTube

comments and comment back.

But it's just been awesome

reconnecting with everybody.

I think I got through all

the DMs that I got and

responded back to those.

I'm going to try to get

through all the YouTube

comments by the end of the day.

But you guys are the best.

Truly the best.

Let's see.

One thing I – gosh,

which one of these do I

want to talk about?

I want to talk about the demo team.

I think the demo team is so underrated.

I don't think we've had an

announcement on who that's

going to be this year,

but just think about how

awesome it is to be a part

of that demo team and think

about that connection that

you make with Dave,

what you learn by testing

the workouts with him as

you get ready for the next year.

And as I look back on the last three years,

forty one percent of the of

the athletes that have

participated on the demo

team have are in the games this year.

Demo team last year that are

now on the on the games is Anika Greer,

Colton Mertens, Tudor Magda.

Demo team two years ago that

are in the games this year,

Sydney McElishan, Carolyn Prevost.

Demo team three years ago

that's in the games this year,

Fisa Goffey, James Sprague.

That is seven of seventeen

athletes that were put on

the demo team in the last

three years and are in the

games this year.

What you learn during that

time is so invaluable.

that if you're an athlete on

the cusp and you do not

accept a role on the demo team,

you're undercutting yourself.

It has got to be the

greatest opportunity if you

want to grow in this sport.

Forty-one percent.

Forty-one percent.

That's almost fifty percent.

Go from demo team to the games.

Who do you think the demo

team is going to be this year?

I think the format of the

season has hurt the

opportunities to figure out

who they should be.

So I'm anxious to see how

this works out moving forward.

It was easy when there were

semifinals and you could

see who they were one point out.

They were two points out.

They need to be pulled in

here to be the demo because

they're right on the cusp.

Now with like people trying

four times and six times,

it's going to be a lot

harder to kind of see who

those people are.

Have they ever flown anyone

from overseas to be on the demo team,

though?

Yes.

And there could have been

more people at the games

this year from the demo teams,

but a lot of those people

that came from overseas are

the ones boycotting the games this year.

So that's a shame.

So that's even slanting it a

little bit more.

Trista Smith was on the team last year,

Jeff.

Yeah.

know it's gonna be

interesting I would think

they'd be announced by now

I mean we're only what a

week away from register

we're past we're under a

week till registration and

uh and people have got to

get here or get there so

I'm gonna finish up with

this I heard someone say uh

have I seen the champs um

road to the games I did and

I didn't ever review it because we got

mixed up in other things.

And so that return to the games,

I would give a minus.

I thought it was pretty good.

Their personalities came

across a lot more.

They were outside the gym a little bit.

That was pretty awesome.

But again,

they just need to push a little

bit more into the storytelling aspect.

I know that's been my theme all year.

I also watched the Hatfield

Mayhem piece yesterday.

I think that was more

interesting because of the

rumored relationship with him and Haley.

And that becomes pretty

obvious if you watch that

video that him and Haley

are in a relationship.

Just by the way they're

looking at each other in the gym,

how the way they interact.

If they are not in a relationship,

I would be shocked.

Yeah.

And then, so that one,

I would give an a two and

then Emma tall off the clock done by WFP.

If that's what I was told to be patient,

things are coming, man.

What a bad one to start off on.

I don't think it pushed much.

I didn't want stuff.

If you're saying off the clock,

that means not training to me.

And then you follow her to a

pool where she's training anyway.

So that doesn't make sense to me.

They also did not mic her up very well.

So it was really hard to

hear what she was saying.

And so for that,

I like the concept of off the clock.

Let's go with someone for a

day when they're not training.

What do they do?

How do they relax?

Those types of things.

But that fell short for me.

So that one I would give a B minus.

um yeah so emmett's all off

the clock b minus return to

the games road to the games

a minus uh the hatfield mayhem piece in a

Again, in the Hatfield,

the Mayhem piece was still formula.

I just want something new and creative.

Off the Clock promised me

that and then didn't deliver,

just like the other things

that have been promised by

the WFP from a media creation standpoint.

So yeah, just quick review on those ones.

Alito said,

I heard the Torian Pro

documentary is supposed to be good.

Well,

the only person I've heard it from is

one of the other creators

who did only watch the first part of it.

I had a piece on that and I

was going to show some stuff.

Maybe we'll talk about that tomorrow.

I don't know.

We'll see.

I got some stuff, though,

still on my list of topics.

So I will be back here tomorrow.

But, man,

I am running over by forty five

minutes every day now

because you guys are freaking awesome.

Love hanging out with you with that.

I got to get back to work.

So you knuckleheads need to as well.

We will see everybody next time.

On lunch with the Clydesdale.

Happy Clydesdale's Day, everybody.

Bye, guys.
