what is going on how y'all
are we're here for cajun
wednesday and uh got my
buddy corey here um as you
can tell I am still in the
basement um the ship has
not left the harbor we are
still in columbus ohio and
my daughter is yet to get
here so she's coming here
right after show time
And then we're going to hit
the road to see this afternoon.
She got a trailer, got it to her house,
started putting stuff in it
and realized she did not
buy one or rent one big enough.
And so then it was decisions
of what are you going to purge?
Yeah.
And what are you taking with you?
So we might be doing some
furniture shopping when we
first get to Montana.
Yeah.
That's rough, dude.
I'll be sitting on the floor.
Yeah, a hundred percent.
That's probably a terrible feeling.
It gets there and you realize, holy crap,
all of my stuff does not fit in here.
that's not a good feeling
that's not a good feeling
she chose the bed the
dresser okay so solid um
and the desk chair but her
recliner is she put it out
on the curb and while she
was loading a guy came and
sat in it and kicked it
back he goes this is real
nice she said why don't you take it
he said really he's on the
phone with us when this is
all going down yeah and
she's like I'm moving to
montana and I can't take it
with me and he's like are
you sure because this is
real nice this is this is
real and get yourself
something nice for real
nice so he uh he folded her
up and took him took her
upstairs yes indeed oh that
was somebody in her
building yeah oh that's even better
They was going to bring it right upstairs.
If you change your mind, you let me know.
So a fabulous start to the move.
So if that had happened down
here where I live,
they wouldn't have even,
they wouldn't even bother talking to her.
They'd assume that since
it's by the curb that it's
up for grabs and they just
would have loaded it in the
back of their truck and got
tight with it.
That's how they do around here.
Like if you put it by the curb,
it's fair game.
Yeah.
She was like, hey,
I got a futon too because I
can't fit that in either.
Oh, she had bed and a futon.
Where are you going to sleep?
That's a great, great question.
You got an air mattress?
You might want to bring that with you.
I'm thinking I might be in a
hotel just to get away from
the stress of it all.
Yeah, moving sucks dude.
I am not a fan at all in.
When it was between twenty,
nineteen and twenty twenty,
we got our house,
had our house built and had
the condo sold condo sold
before the house was built.
So we moved from condo to a
rent house and then from
the rent house to my, like my permanent,
my permanent home.
So I had friends behind me
and essentially helped me
move three different times
because there was also
stuff put into storage in the meantime,
because not everything was
going to fit in the rent
house that we were staying at.
And I promised them that on
the last time we moved,
it was going to be the last
time I ever moved.
Like I promise you guys.
I will not ever ask y'all to
do this again because this
is the third time we've done it,
but I need y'all one more time.
One of the perks of being a, uh,
a member at a very,
very like a community at my,
at my box is outstanding.
Um, is that if anybody needs help,
like moving furniture,
whatever the case may be,
like all they gotta do is
put a call out and
everybody's everybody gonna show up.
It's fantastic.
Yeah.
We got Meredith and Andrew
and Kat already in the chat.
Hey,
don't forget Kat's got a new show today,
five PM Eastern time.
I know what I'm listening to on the road.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
So moving sucks, man.
When we moved into this house, we said,
this is our forever home.
Like we are not moving,
but now we're edging towards retirement.
Right.
And we have all this equity in this house.
And the property taxes here
are through the roof.
And I think that when we retire,
we're going to have to sell off the house,
use the money and just go
to like a retirement community.
Like they like here,
they have these things
called like fifty five and
over retirement.
And they're like spas,
but they're apartments for
older people who don't want
kids and stuff in their
development or whatever.
So that's the plan right now.
The neighborhood we used to live,
it's not quite the same thing,
but they have a whole
section of that neighborhood.
It's a golf course neighborhood.
And I have a whole section
of that hood that is only for people.
Like if you have kids,
you can't move there.
If you are under fifty-five,
you can't like,
they won't let you buy a house there.
Like you go,
I used to run through the
neighborhood and I go run
through that part.
And it was weird a little bit,
not seeing any kids stuff anywhere.
Like, you know,
wouldn't have a ball in the street and
neighborhood that area right
there and they had their
own little like community
center type area that
nobody else could use but
the people that lived in
that port that's that
specific Florida
neighborhood um I don't I
don't mind kids for the
most part um but man the
other day I was going out
and our speed limit is in
our neighborhood girl on a
scooter shot right out in front of me
And thank God I was only going about.
Cause like,
and then you get these flashes like, man,
I, I could have killed her.
Like if I was not paying attention, dude,
I was, I was coming home one night, um,
from the gym and on the
corner by my street,
it's a two way stop sign.
It's a four way intersection or whatnot.
But where I was going to
make my right to go to my house,
there's no stops on.
And some kid on a four-wheeler came.
I never saw him.
I saw him when he passed in
front of my Jeep.
Same thing.
And it was eight o'clock at night.
I mean, it was dark outside.
It was wintertime.
And I just remember thinking, like,
whoever's kid that is,
if I'd have hit them, a couple things.
First of all, I'd have felt terrible.
Secondly, I'd have had to...
this whole conversation you
know with this kid's
parents blah blah whatever
but at the same time why is
your kid out on a
four-wheeler in the
neighborhood that they're
not supposed to be doing
after dark no lights no
nothing and just flying
through stop signs like it
ain't no big deal yeah but
I've told you before on
this show like I am I'm
fully embracing the grumpy
old man in the house down
the street right like
hundred percent dude I tell
jennifer whenever we move
now like we're gonna have
an actual front yard
whatever where we're going
to which we do I said when
we get old like I'm gonna
sit out on outside and yell
at children like I have no
problem doing that whatever
that will get off my lawn
that's me right there all
day long what's crazy in my
neighborhood I don't know
if I have seen a regular
bike anymore I think every
bike in our neighborhood is an e-bike now
These kids are just like zipping around.
And they go pretty quick.
Oh, yeah.
We got a bunch of kids.
I say a bunch.
There's kids on electric scooters.
The problem in my
neighborhood mostly is golf course.
Everybody got a golf course in it.
They'll just be riding
around on them or have
twelve-year-olds driving them.
No, Meredith, it is not.
Well,
her first assumption is that Corey
lives on a city street.
Down in the bayou, you may never know.
Technically, it is a street.
We're not actually.
I live on Gator Lane.
It's actually called Coastline Avenue.
So, I mean, same thing.
But no, it's one hundred percent not.
One hundred percent not.
Kat wants to know how that's
not discrimination,
keeping people under fifty five.
I don't know,
because they're really
popular here in Columbus.
And they're these are apart.
These are like apartment
townhome type deals.
Right.
And they are they are very
restrictive of fifty five and up.
Yeah.
And I don't know because
they can call it a
retirement community or
that makes a difference.
I don't know.
I just know that that's what
the rules on that side was.
Like we couldn't have bought
a house over there because
I wasn't old enough and we
had a brand new baby.
So I see under your name,
you have the number seventy seven.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Officially the seventy seventh fittest,
forty five,
forty nine year old on the planet.
Are you embracing that
number for the next year?
Yeah.
Or are you using it as motivation?
Both.
Both.
Both.
I'm proud of myself, dude.
And I would encourage
anybody who is in my position, like,
because it's real easy to
look at it and go, oh, fuck, you know,
I didn't make it.
You know, I didn't get, I didn't get,
you know, I was born to, cat.
It's real easy to look at it and go,
you know, oh, I didn't make it.
Or, you know, oh,
I'm forty seven spots out, you know,
from a game spot or whatnot.
I'm proud of my stuff, dude.
Like I've worked my ass off
to get where I am right now.
And all that is, is, you know,
I told Brandon that the
other day is I can see
progress year over year.
Right.
I can see myself getting
better every single year.
Like,
that's why I encourage people to do
the open in general is that it,
that's a really good way.
I think Chase Ingram said it
the first time.
It's like, it's your yearly fitness check.
Right.
No matter if you're competitive or not.
Hey, am I fitter than I was last year?
Thanks, guy.
For me,
somebody who's competitive and is
actively trying to make the
games like this is a big jump.
This is eighty spots from
last year to this year.
And I'm forty eight.
I got one more year in this.
Larry Young is ten thousand spots out.
getting there larry getting
there hey I'm glad larry's
here because last week on
the spin he got he got a
good shout out from his son
his son said that larry is
probably the fastest
elizabeth or not elizabeth
isabel person for the first
fifteen for the first
fifteen the first fifteen
he could he could take on
anybody first fifteen matters
And I think he's talking heavy as a bell,
not just, not just,
but like heavy as a bell first,
Larry would take on all
takers and probably be in the lead.
Now what happens after that?
What happens on the backside?
Just saying.
Oh,
I want to know if Larry has a response
to that shout out because
John said he would do three
sets of five at that weight.
And then not real sure what
happened after that.
And then after that,
Then the fitness takes it over.
That's fantastic.
That's fantastic.
That's a pretty cool compliment.
If someone told me I was
going to be the fastest at fifteen,
I'd take that and run with it.
A hundred percent.
What I heard was the wheels...
Yeah, I think I heard complete train wreck,
but maybe that's how it got
interpreted in my head.
I mean,
I feel like the wheels would come
off a train if it got in a wreck,
so let's go ahead and leave that at that.
Dude, that would still be bad to the bone,
though, bro.
Yeah, I'd take it, man.
If I could do that weight
three sets of five, dude, man,
I'd puff the chest out a little bit,
strut around.
That's actually what I need.
Part of what my,
one of my training pieces
is this week is to hit
basically that weight for sets.
So we don't see what that does.
Like unbroken sets.
Three, not like huge ones, big,
like just three at a time.
Not, not five.
I don't know if I'd do five.
I've never tried it.
Scott, when I did to heavy Isabel,
that was the first time I'd
snatched one eighty-five
that many times ever.
Like much less in one workout.
It had never happened before.
I had absolutely no idea
what was gonna happen.
When they announced it,
was that Monday afternoon?
I did it Tuesday.
Well, I did half of it Tuesday.
And I was, until that time,
I had absolutely no idea if
I was even be able to do
more than five or seven of
them without blowing up.
And apparently I was okay.
So that was news to me.
was never like a high weight
snatcher I could cycle like
moderate weight really well
when I was at my fittest
but like I never put up a
big number on my snatch so
I haven't either I'm kind
of in that same boat like I am I am very
I won't say very good.
I am pretty decent at moving
high percentages for reps,
like my high percentages for reps.
You know,
I can cycle pretty heavyweight
fairly consistently all the way through,
you know, until basically I hit a wall.
not, not terrible at that.
Finding out that, like I said,
that whole heavy Isabel thing, that was,
that was a shock to me.
I was pumped when I finished it, you know,
well under the cap.
I was pretty excited about that.
So it's been a good season.
My, my CrossFit season is done, you know,
HQ season, whatever you want to call it,
game season, I guess you call it done.
But like, I got monster games.
Yeah.
Larry,
you'll trade Corey for a couple –
two and twenty-five
touch-and-go reps for a
couple minutes off a mile time.
I'm trying to think.
I think my fastest ever mile
ever recorded was six
twenty-one at the gym a couple years ago,
something like that.
Like I'm not a super fast runner.
Are you faster today or slower?
I haven't been running.
No, I haven't.
That was in –
was probably in twenty
nineteen because you're
better today than you were
two years ago oh god yeah
yeah corey doing legends
championship online
qualifier I'm doing legends
online qualifier and
masters fitness collective
online for qualifying I
don't know I'm if I make
legends I'm definitely
going to legends if I make
masters fitness collective
I don't know if I'm going back to
but I want to do it
regardless just to kind of
see where I land.
I mean,
it was thirty bucks to put a
qualifier or whatever it was.
It's not like it's a huge deal,
but I liked the program at
Legends last year for the most part.
And what I saw of Masters of
MFC last year because I didn't do it
I enjoyed.
So we'll see.
The only thing I don't like
about both of those
qualifiers is both of them
last three freaking weeks.
It's like nineteen days.
You have to do whatever it is,
five or six workouts.
And it's blindly the board
the entire time.
And that is bananas crazy to me.
Like, it's just too long.
Do we know where Legends is
going to be this year?
As far as I know, we're going back.
We're going back to Arizona.
Initially, they had a two-year contract.
Last year would have been the second year.
I don't know if they renewed
or... I don't know.
ASU was awesome.
That place was beautiful.
If it's there,
both of those are going to have swimming.
They both have swimming.
I'm swimming once a week now.
Larry says he's not
finishing the mile without some walking.
I mean,
I can give you a minute and I'll take my,
my seven, twenty-one for, for damn sure.
Just to be able to snatch
one at two twenty-five
would be fantastic there, Larry.
Most I've ever put up over my head, like,
as far from a snatch as,
as far as snatch is concerned,
or any snatch is concerned,
I was two hundred at this point.
Just because my technique is absolute,
is absolute garbage.
That's, I'm playing strong enough.
For me, like, I,
I couldn't put up much
snatching until I improved my mobility.
I had to get where the bar was,
was in a straight bar path.
The minute I let it get out in front of me,
it's over.
And so.
Yeah, that sounds.
Go ahead and read that.
Yeah.
Everything you do about training,
spend ten minutes a day.
You put fifty pounds on
squat easy in a month.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm sure.
I'm absolutely sure about that.
Unfortunately, or fortunately,
however you want to look at it,
is that I got way other
things I need to prioritize
on than just my Olympic lifting.
I lift enough in our weight group,
in our age category,
that if there's a one rep
max snatch or some sort of
snatch complex or something like that,
I'll be fine.
I won't be at the top by any
stretch of the imagination,
but I also won't be at the bottom.
Like I lift enough to be,
to not completely bomb out.
What I need to do, what I have been doing,
working on is still working,
getting my motor up and
getting as gymnastic as humanly possible.
Like heavy gym or, you know,
a lot of gymnastics under fatigue.
Just got to get better at it.
Everything else I'm decent at.
You know what I forgot to do today?
Throw your dart.
That's why you're looking at the board.
Yeah.
I'm going to give it to one.
There's still time, dude.
A little bit closer.
A little bit closer.
I should have timed that
better when you threw it.
I was like... Isn't that cool?
Just so people can see,
I'm going to try to do this
if it'll let me.
Get yourself a picture.
So there it is, man.
I need to mute this down.
There we go.
I can't flip the camera.
Can you see?
Oh, so it's like on an angle from you.
Yeah.
Yes, Lord.
Look at a Pac-Man game, dude.
What's up?
So those are the darts from the week.
nice no no all right how do
I get out of here now kick
me out there we go I like
that I mean send myself an
invite so I can get that
dark cam up yeah uh
No, I have no idea.
None of this stuff,
or I didn't read enough of it.
I mean,
we get emails from legends about
once a week since I signed
up for the qualifier,
but I don't remember.
Denise might know if it said
that we're going back to Arizona or not.
So for the, as far as I know, I would say,
yeah, probably so,
but monster games has got swimming.
MFC would probably have
swimming in and legends is
going to have swimming.
So yeah,
I am swimming once a week until I don't.
Basically, it's what it boils down to.
Not that I'm going to be
Michael Phelps by the time we get there,
but I want to be
comfortable enough in the
water that whatever we do,
it doesn't become an issue.
You know what I mean?
It's confident, really and truly.
Learning how to breathe
while swimming is way
harder than anybody would
ever have made me believe.
It's like,
Yeah, just stroke, stroke, breathe, stroke,
stroke, breathe.
Yeah.
Okay.
It works really well for the first like,
fifty meters or so.
And then after that,
my body still goes into panic mode.
Like, I'm gonna drown at any given point.
I'm not.
I can't.
The pool I swim in, I can stand up.
I can stand up in.
That shallow.
Yeah, it's shallow.
It's shallow.
Which is fine.
Yeah, the first year I did MFC judging,
guys were just walking the
shallow end of the pool.
And they just kind of let it happen.
But that's not really swimming.
No, I couldn't.
Lucky me at MFC and at Legends,
I couldn't have walked in
that pool if I wanted to.
It's deep.
Yeah, they moved to a new pool.
The other one was outdoor.
Oh, yeah, no.
This one was at the high
school or whatever.
Yeah.
Which that place was.
They definitely have stepped
up in the last few years
with the facilities.
I think MFC has one of the
nicest facilities where
they hold the event.
Nice, big.
They did the stands way better last year.
So, yeah,
I thought it was... And they had
a live stream.
Yep.
Yep.
So I gotta give it to them.
I mean, I, you know,
it wouldn't have mayhem
live stream that they spent
a gazillion dollars on,
but they had something.
Yeah.
Only way my wife could watch
me at legends was if
somebody was on FaceTime
with her on the phone.
yeah legends that's their
biggest downfall in my
opinion it's a great
competition with great
athletes some of the best
masters athletes in the
world and you can't see it
no I'm telling you
beautiful facility and why
have the beautiful facility
if nobody can see it the
only and I won't say
necessarily downfall
because it wasn't it wasn't
unmanageable um
the warm-up area was odd
because some of it was
inside some of it's outside
yeah which whatever that's
not that's not I mean they
work with what they have as
far as that's concerned but
like the floor was
fantastic both sides great
place to watch the legends
at asu was awesome but you
know they've been they
started in california
And then they went to Mayhem for a year.
I really wish I could have
got... I would have loved
to have gone down there at Mayhem.
I heard that was amazing.
I heard nothing but good
things about when they did at Mayhem.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was going to ask you something.
Old man brain.
What I was saying before,
I sidetracked myself earlier,
which happens a whole lot.
I told Brandon that being
able to see my progress
year on year and see that
I'm working in the right direction,
all that does is just light
more of a fire under my ass.
The fire that propels me
forward is seeing where I
am as opposed to where I
was and knowing that as
long as I stay healthy,
I am on the right track.
So, yeah, I am super proud of myself.
And again,
I would encourage anybody who is
has those same kind of I
got friends of mine in my
age group that we support
each other all the time.
Hey, man, you are fucking killing it.
If we get on the floor,
I am going to try to beat you,
but I'm still proud of you
because we are all doing everybody's.
you know, it is a master's age group.
Everybody's got jobs.
Everybody's got, you know, family, kids,
responsibilities,
whatever the case may be.
So to be able to do all of
that and still be one of
the top hundred guys in my age group.
Yeah.
I'm super proud of that.
Yeah.
I know what I was going to ask you,
like legends could hire Brian friend.
I hear he can do a full life.
Under a thousand dollars or under.
Yeah.
I heard.
with live scoring with live
scoring if he has the
people to man it he can do
live scoring and a full
live stream for under five
grand I would you know what
if I had five grand to blow
I would I'd hire him to do
legends whether I made it
or not just to see I will
say this when he's doing
what he's doing like him
running down the beach was awesome
People pick at him.
I'm one of them.
Here it is.
I think he's great for
smaller comps that you can
get around in pretty well.
I watched his Fittest of the Coast.
Pretty good coverage.
I got to see Jamie periodically.
It was good coverage.
I think when he does the European stuff,
it's fine.
When he did SoCal, he only did two events.
And so he could put it all
into those two events,
like run down the beach.
When he did Wadapalooza,
I don't think his
scalability to that was ready.
And now he's doing Wadfest,
which I believe is this weekend.
So we're going to see what
the scalability is again.
It's only a hundred and sixty athletes.
Oh, my gosh.
Eighty people in a. That is
like that's not even manageable.
I don't even I don't know
what they were thinking.
I don't get it.
It's not like it's where there's.
So we had going back to legend.
There's a there's a billion
people there competing.
All the women go in the morning,
transfers over to the men at night.
Right.
Runs pretty smooth there for all day long.
It goes age group to age
group to age group to age group.
But this is just two big
groups of AD people.
And generally speaking, I mean,
every other thing I've ever seen,
it's not the women all go
now and then the men all go later.
It's heat women, heat men, boom, boom,
back to back with no kind
of break in between.
That's insane to me.
I know nothing about logistics.
I know from the competitive side,
from where I'm sitting,
But what it takes to try to organize that,
bro.
So let me ask you this.
So they have AD athletes, right?
Here is Brian's rankings for WODfest.
Now, these are just twenty of the eighty.
Right.
Go down and tell me where
you think the legit shot to
get a ticket to the games ends.
you can stop right there at number ten.
I don't know.
I think I've heard of Moistus before.
Number thirteen?
Well, like,
I would love to see Shung Young Choi.
Okay, there's Shung Young Choi.
Like, at sixteen.
I would have her higher than that,
but... I've heard of Bella Bunger.
She was a team athlete with
the Oslo teams.
But...
Like,
there's a lot of names here I've not
heard of.
And I mean,
I've been a geek about this
sport for a very long time.
Yeah.
This is just the top twenty.
We have sixty other athletes
other than these people.
And Brian ranked them lower than this.
Yeah, because who knows who they are?
I don't understand the
premise behind it all, but...
I mean,
I'll tune in a little bit this
weekend and see what's going on.
So let me ask you this.
They do an eightie.
Is it all,
is it invite only or are they doing it by,
by, by ranking?
Like.
I don't, I don't remember.
And I see how it happens in the chat.
He might.
Yeah.
What they, how they selected the field.
Cause every, every in-person.
Qualifying event.
When you do a qualifier and
then do a lot of wild cards,
this is what you get.
Got it.
Kind of the answer.
Got it.
Catherine is correct, FYI.
So, yeah, that's, it's just,
and then you go to the men's,
it's not much better.
Like, you get down to like Louis Cielo.
I don't, I know Fabian Benito.
I know Braun.
Lungo.
mike mike waslowski was the
guy from uh monsters ain't
isn't it yeah yeah I
thought so uh moistus is
such an unfortunate name
it's a terrible name it's
not her fault it's not her
fault hopefully hopefully
she's not from the united
states and it's not not as
bad in a foreign language uh again
This is just the top twenty.
There's sixty more athletes
on the men's side and.
It you're going to have a
hard time getting me past
twelve or thirteen of these
athletes having a legit shot.
But again, I've heard of Victor Lung Joe,
but like that's beside, you know,
and I've actually heard of Wazlawski,
but like everybody else that's in there,
you know, that's below Braun.
Besides those two people,
I have no idea who those guys are.
And tonight on Kat's Dating Show,
I have a giant crush on Moritz.
Let's see where that goes.
Let's see.
Europe has Wadland Online,
French back-to-back.
Wadland Online, French back-to-back.
Going to be interesting with
big fields to try and get a
limited number of tickets.
Yeah.
Europe got screwed in this format.
So how many people is going from Watley?
Two.
Two men, two women.
Then you have the online in
affiliate semi.
Eleven worldwide will go.
And then you have French with two and two.
So
A hundred and sixty people.
And if you're WFP at that
same weekend of the French,
a lot of people gave up
their opportunity at French
to go back and perform at the WF tour.
So, yeah.
I don't know.
Kat wants to know if I
remember when Moritz sat by us at Waza.
Probably not as well as you did.
I'm terrible at math.
What's the percentage on that?
What is the percentage of
four of a hundred and sixty?
Well,
two and eighty is probably like two
point six percent.
Jesus, man.
That's rough guessing.
T-Bird is correct.
I agree with that a hundred percent.
This isn't the one that's up against WFP.
It's French Throwdown that's
up against WFP.
There's maybe athletes here,
but there's really only ten
with a legit shot to get the two tickets.
If that.
And depending on what the
programming looks like is
what that's going to boil down to.
Colin Bosworth's a bad dude,
but he ain't no bigger than...
Yeah.
How old is Yonikowski?
I think he's seventy six.
He's got to be right.
I feel like he's been around
since like twenty thirteen.
Now he's probably thirty two thirty three.
I mean,
he's probably around the same age
as Pat and Brent,
which is that he's got to
be mid ish thirty.
Yeah, thirty-one, thirty-two,
somewhere in that area.
So.
Calhoun, Anestis, I've heard that name,
but I don't know enough about him.
Kervis, I don't know who that is.
He's thirty.
He's only thirty.
Dang.
It's like a running back in the NFL.
He's only thirty,
but he's got a lot of miles.
Yeah, yeah, high miles.
High miles.
Junior high.
And those aren't the country miles.
Those are the city miles.
No, that's city miles.
That is one hundred percent city miles.
Yeah.
Um,
one of our best stories ever is about
Yona Koski.
Um, Kat and Amy and I stayed in a,
in the same hotel as him at
the games a couple of years ago.
And on Sunday we got back
and Yona was in the lobby
and he was having a good time.
Enjoying himself.
I think Kat tried to interview him.
while we were live on the
air um and he didn't
realize but he came on for
like three or four I don't
know maybe thirty seconds
it was hilarious it was
hilarious him and his whole
like crew were just
enjoying the post games
festivities I cannot say I
blame him can I say I blame him so it
Any one of those multi-day comps, dude,
it's a lot.
Like,
I can tell you that from the couple
that I've done,
from an athlete's perspective, like,
you are beat to shit by the
end of the weekend.
And, like,
depending on what kind of person you are,
just depending on how
you're going to be
recovering when it comes down to it.
I'll tell you the difference
between budgets in that
year and then the following
year is that year we shared
a hotel that Yonikoski was in.
The next year we shared a
hotel that Sporty Beth was in.
Ouch.
We need some sponsors.
Yeah.
Yep.
We need some sponsors.
We fell back a little bit.
I mean, sometimes it'd be like that.
Sometimes it'd be like that.
what's crazy I don't even
like it's been a long time
since I've talked about
sporty beth but she had a
documentary made by
crossfit about her
transformation I did as
well they came out around
like a week apart from each
other and we became friends
at the time well yeah and uh
And then she just drifted away.
Lost her mind completely?
Well, I don't know.
I didn't really have a lot
of conversations with her after that.
It just was like she got
busy with other things and
did her own thing and we
didn't really talk anymore.
And then she pops back on as
this kind of celebrity in
the Europe area.
And then the rest is kind of history.
I mean,
she obviously has a following
because we wouldn't know,
we wouldn't know who she was otherwise.
Right.
I mean, God bless her for that.
I wish her nothing but success.
I just wish she'd stop lying to people.
That'd be fantastic.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, I'm gonna leave that alone.
I'm gonna leave that alone anyway.
even though I don't have to
go back to work lunchtime
is just about over people
as always love catching up
with you brother y'all be
safe y'all be safe yeah
hopefully my daughter gets
here within the next hour
and we're on the road how
long to drive twenty six
hours should we do that two
days or three days
I think we're going to try
to stop at different places
along the way.
Yeah.
Um, and I, you know, Mount Rushmore,
the Badlands, um, stuff like that.
So we're, we're going to take our time.
Um, but yeah, we're,
we're going to probably try
to get on the other side of
Chicago tonight.
Uh, maybe to Madison, um,
somewhere in there.
And then we'll try to get up
to Minneapolis, um, tomorrow.
maybe, uh, have a steak with Ken Walters.
He is,
he's chomping at the bit to hang out.
And, uh, Ken, dude, Ken Walters.
I met him at the granite
games a couple of years ago,
just him and I, we were at the bar.
I was eating dinner after
the granite games was, was over.
And, uh, just sitting there,
met him out of the blue.
Didn't know him from Noah.
And we just kind of, uh,
hung out and chatted and
then Colton came in and I
had met Colton long.
We were the first person he
ever did a podcast with.
I would,
that was when he still had to mullet.
He had just cut it off.
Okay.
This was year two at granite.
He had qualified for the games that year.
He comes over and he just
him and Allie just hang out
with Ken and I.
for a couple hours because
Colton didn't want to go to the party.
He didn't want to go do nothing.
He just wanted to... He does
not strike me as a big crowd type of guy.
No.
It was just Ken Walters, Colton, Allie,
and me hanging out, grabbing some food,
chilling.
It was one of the best
nights of my CrossFit life.
Just hanging out.
Ken can be intense,
but he was really cool that night.
Like,
saw him at the games this
year much more intense this
year than he was at that
granite games experience
but he's a good dude
whatever happened to the
granite games so it got
bought out by loud live and
I think that they just
changed their focus to
other things when when they
couldn't be a semi-final
anymore and it's a shame
because it was really a
huge community event before
it was a semi-final
Yeah.
Well, that's mostly what I'm wondering.
Cause I mean, even if you can't be a,
you know, it seemed like a big deal.
I never actually made it obviously,
but like they were doing the,
we hosted one at our gym,
the little three person
throw down or whatever.
And like, it was fun.
I actually did three of
those separately at two
gyms in New Orleans.
And then we had one at our
gym and then COVID and then it went away.
So it didn't go away,
it just paused for that one year.
And then the second year in,
because it was in St.
Cloud forever.
And then it moved to Minneapolis.
And that was a COVID year.
We're coming out of COVID, twenty-one.
They didn't have the community event.
Twenty-two,
they had the community event
again with the semifinal.
So in the Vikings practice
field was the semifinal.
And all of the stuff around
the stadium was community event.
So you could walk outside
and it would be all these
community people going to town.
And it was really a lot of fun.
It sounds like fun.
And I don't know why they stopped.
I don't know if Loud and
Live just stopped focusing
on that and just went with
the SoCal thing.
But I wish it could have
went back to just being the
community event again.
because it was always well attended.
I think Cat judged there a
couple years before they
were a semifinal event.
And yeah, it was in St.
Cloud,
and it was kind of this backyard fun
games type community event.
I don't know why.
I don't know why it went away.
That sucks.
but it was really cool being
on the Vikings practice field,
even though I hate them.
And, um, I mean, yeah, be it as it may,
like you still were out there.
Yeah.
I mean, any,
I feel the same way with the
Cowboys stadium, you know, I am do not,
not a Cowboys fan whatsoever or,
or at the,
or at in Atlanta at the Falcons.
But like,
if I got to go to that facility
and go do some shit,
like it would still be
bad-ass to be there.
yeah and those there were
some great matches and
great races in those two
granite games that were I
remember like that's where
uh oh gosh what's his name
snatched like three oh five
or something like that uh
anthony anthony yeah aunt
davis I remember that I
guess that wasn't way too
long my years I think he
went more than three or
five I think he went like
three twenty three three I
don't know it was a lot I
remember that yeah it was
something stupid
Something I'd have to think
twice about deadlifting.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He, he was awesome.
And there were huge snatches though.
The women,
the woman on the team and ended
up popping,
but she went like two thirty
five to forty.
Jesus Christ.
Yeah, it was, it was insane.
That's bananas.
I just remember that was watching it,
watching the live stream and
was the first time I ever saw Colton.
And I was like, he looked like a kid.
He doesn't like a kid now,
but he really looked like a kid then.
And that's the first time,
that's when he still had the mullet.
And I was like, who?
I'm like, what year is it?
Did I wake up in Nineteen
Eighty-Four again?
Like, what's going on?
Why is this dude running
around with a mullet?
The second year he was in
the rope climb event,
he was in between Brent and Matt DeLugos.
So it's like DeLugos, Colton, Brent.
Yeah.
It was the craziest thing
you could ever see.
Six, two on one side, six,
eight on the other side.
DeLugos is what, nine feet tall?
Something stupid like that.
Like, it's insane, dude.
Well, that's the, uh,
that was the bar height change game, um,
semi-final because they
would not change the height of the bar.
And Matt was hitting his
feet on the ground, uh,
during the bar muscle ups
and the chest to bars.
Like how you not go look at him, what you,
what you want him to do.
Right.
And then we never saw him again.
Not much.
Still a good dude.
I still occasionally chat
with him on Instagram,
but still a good dude.
Oh, yeah, sure.
Someone gave Corey hope.
Are you talking about Colton?
I'm actually taller than Colton.
Not by much, but Colton's five-four.
I am five-six.
T-Bird says she misses Matt DeLugos.
I do, too.
Matt was just a great guy.
Um,
that was what I met him in person for
the first time at that
granite games and Alex,
both that day for the first time.
And they were hanging out
together and they were so funny.
Um,
cause they were like brother and sister.
It was, it was really cool.
Uh, he's up on the Cowboys, bro.
I don't have to give the Cowboys any shit.
They're going to make the
playoffs and lose in the first round.
Like they do every single year.
It's fine.
No big deal.
I don't know.
Last year, they made the playoffs.
I don't see them doing it this time.
Jeremy likes how you're put together.
Do I need to give you guys
some quiet time?
Jeremy's my brother.
Love that dude.
T-Bert says, the team of Khan, James,
and Matthew Lugos at water was great.
Yeah.
And Lugos was doing the shoeys and the
Yeah, that was awesome.
That was fun to watch.
I remember that.
Yeah.
And he anchored that team a couple times.
He was... At points,
it looked like he was the
fittest dude on that team.
And that's saying something
with Khan and freaking... Newberry.
James on there.
Like, that's... They destroyed machines.
Those people would destroy a machine.
With prejudice.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like all these people claim
to be king of the echo bike, man.
Newberry was ferocious.
What was it?
Was that for ringer one and
ringer two at the game when
James just went bananas on it?
He emptied every tank he had
on those bikes.
I remember if they were
interviewing him after or
if it was on the documentary afterwards,
but he was like,
like yeah I didn't think
about the fact that I had
to go and do it again after
I did the first time and
said that that four didn't
really compute my head yeah
and good memories all right
brother everybody well
lunch time's over man time
