We cover the sport of CrossFit from all angles. We talk with athletes, coaches and celebrities that compete and surround in the sport of CrossFit at all levels. We also bring you Breaking News, Human Interest Stories and report on the Methodology of CrossFit. We also use the methodology to make ourselves the fittest we can be.
So the goal for today is to keep
the negative energy from my workday from
leaking into this amazing lunch show.
Let's talk.
From the gym to the screen, yeah,
we cover it all.
Midday motivation every time you press
call.
Lunch with the Clydesdale.
Cowboy bring the heat.
Crossfit, boobies, music on repeat.
Half hour hustle, yeah,
we building that brand.
Grab a plate, tune in now,
you part of the fam.
It's lunchtime!
what's going on everybody that was
impressive it's it felt like a release
like i needed to like release that out
after the morning i've had exercise the
demons i'm just going to talk about it
for a second and then we can move
on but two things happened this morning
and both of them are the are something
that like just
lights the fuse on my anger template
temper stuff one getting a pissing match
with me okay yeah so we have we
have tickets we have a vendor they assign
me the ticket i'm like i can't do
anything about it it's your problem i sign
it back to them and we go back
and forth like four or five times
And I put like why it should be
back with them and their response is,
nope, back to you.
Then when you do respond,
you come back and say,
maybe you don't know what you're talking
about and you should get this person and
that person involved.
Are you flipping kidding me?
We hired you as a vendor.
You don't get to come back and tell
me what I don't know.
Oh, I love people like that.
Son of a... Yeah.
So... Yes.
There we go.
So another annoying thing that I wanted to
talk to my friend about is,
so my wife likes to turn on lights.
Yeah.
We have a lot of windows in our
main floor.
Lots of natural light comes in.
We have a bright white light in our
kitchen because when it's nighttime,
it's really dark in there.
You need the bright white light.
Sure.
But I don't need it at three o'clock
in the afternoon.
Not generally speaking.
That's what that bell of fire is outside
for.
That's what we have those windows for.
And then when I'm sitting on my couch
watching TV, the lamp is right beside me.
It'll be seven o'clock.
It doesn't get dark till nine thirty here
now.
And it'll be like seven o'clock and she'll
tell Alexa to turn on the light.
Like,
why the hell do I need that when
I got that beautiful natural light coming
through the window?
It's bright enough to go lay out and
get a tan at seven o'clock.
Why are we turning on lamps?
And she's on her tablet anyway,
which is illuminated.
I was about to say, you don't need...
Oh...
I could spend the vast majority of my
evening,
the only time I like to turn lights
on is if I'm cooking so I can
see what I'm doing.
Other than that, darkness, bring it.
Give me all the dark.
If you actually like a dark,
I like a movie theater atmosphere, right?
No, not my wife.
Let's turn on the landing lights at JFK.
oh every light in the house is on
uh there are two types of people in
the world those that like lights and those
who like natural light and they somehow
always marry each other i love like on
a saturday afternoon if we're home like
that not doing anything we'll open up all
the blinds we got the same thing we
got a whole wall in the living room
that's just basically just windows
um and another one same wall just on
a different level i guess you could say
is where the dining area is same thing
it's just florida ceiling windows and if
it's sunny like i don't need electricity
bro like turn that off we'll open this
and just and we'll watch the ducks run
around and do stuff and not a big
deal i do not hit need i don't
i don't know
joseph says unscrew the light bulbs just
enough to where they don't go on and
then you know what happens joseph then
it's uh dear you need to go change
the light bulb in that then i just
get a honeydew list i gotta i gotta
i got a list of light bulbs i
need to change at the house right now
this one's out that one's out this one's
out that one's out good good i hope
they're all out
We have a light over our landing coming
down from the upstairs and it's way up
there.
Like it's a ladder job.
And the light that they, it really,
I wish we could replace it.
It it's stupid,
but I can't fit my hand inside.
Oh, the lights.
My hand is too big.
Cause the, the gap is yeah.
My wife is deathly afraid of heights.
Sorry.
So I literally have to like get someone
to come over and change it because I
cannot get my hand in to do it.
Can I borrow your hand for a couple
of minutes?
I just need to,
I'm going to get this.
Yeah.
It's got those stupid fake candle things
with the fake candle lights.
No, no, no, no thanks.
Uh, Joseph, go fix Meg's light bulbs.
i like wayne's response yeah program alexa
to say is that really necessary every time
she turns on the light and do it
like hal nine thousand is that really
necessary julie yeah uh is that why my
lights don't work possibly
I need to have someone come over to
do it because I can't get my hand
in there.
Clip it.
There we go.
You know,
I accidentally say stupid things that
should be clipped all the time.
And I don't know,
maybe that's why I do this show.
It's a perk.
It's a perk.
What did it say?
It's a feature, not a bug.
Yeah.
watched a lot of dave interviews really i
haven't watched the first one he is he
i bet you he's done twenty in the
last five days it is i see a
lot i get notifications every time one
gets published so i mean they've been
coming up like crazy i've and so what
i do is like as i'm doing a
job i just i put them on and
let them like run one after another
Well,
this morning I watched the follow one.
I pride myself on knowing kind of the
backgrounds of different athletes.
Didn't know she was a teen athlete.
I had no idea about that either.
Didn't know she was a team athlete.
Also did not know that.
And it just was really like I was
caught off guard that I didn't.
I didn't know.
No, I, I mean,
she's been on healer did like a whole
weekend thing with her.
She's been a couple of places and I
that's news to me.
I, uh,
I was at syndicate when she blew up.
Like I w I saw that story take
place.
We've been talking a lot about stories and
that is a crazy story.
The fact that she's made the games now
and came so close,
blows up on the final event,
misses for a year,
and then comes back and gets in.
Plus everything she's went through this
year.
If you haven't seen any of the stuff
that's happened with either the Hiller
video or she had mono this year.
She was banned from doing CrossFit by her
doctor.
uh to help her recover that that whole
that whole series of uh events i guess
was i was chuckling the entire time
because like every time doctor told her
not to do something she was like really
though like do i really need to not
do it because she ended up doing the
way and you know more or less what
she wants to do anyway
Alito says, not a mention of Pat Vellner.
And Grace's does answer down below.
But on his week in review,
he said that he has reached out to
Pat twice via email.
Pat has not responded.
He has reached out to Danielle Brandon
several times via text.
And has now reached out to her agent
to try to get her on.
And Roman has declined.
I wonder what that's about.
He says he ain't got time for that.
I mean, Roman seems like a nice guy.
You know what I mean?
I,
my first thought honestly was the language
barriers.
Maybe he just isn't comfortable.
Um, but I don't, I mean,
I don't know.
I don't know Roman enough to know.
just don't see where he's too busy to
have a thirty minute conversation with
dave well and that's what dave said on
his week in review like he's like i'm
here trying to like create storylines and
all this kind of stuff um those things
and get views and he seemed hurt by
the fact that he said no like i'm
like dave hurt not like you and i
get hurt right um
But, like, Dave seemed, like,
put off that he said no.
I mean,
he's been here for quite some time.
Roman has.
He's been to the games several times.
Like,
I can understand from Dave's point of
view, like,
I don't understand why you don't want to
just talk to me.
Daniel Brandon is a whole different story.
And he was asked in –
One of the comments,
how he felt about Pat Vellner being a
part of the PFAA that wanted him fired.
And would he bring that up if Pat
came on the show?
And Dave actually answered that no,
he wouldn't bring it up.
It doesn't mean anything to him.
He said,
a lot of people have said a lot
of things about me.
And if I held grudges,
I'd be a miserable human being.
And he wouldn't talk to hardly any of
them.
Let's be honest.
If you are a regular CrossFitter who has
done the Open any time since it's been
a thing,
you have cussed out Dave Castro at least
once.
I can promise you.
I thought it was good insight.
He goes,
I don't need to bring it up again.
He's moved on.
It happened.
It's a thing.
In the same breath,
Roman's really pissing me off for not
doing this interview.
Yeah.
Well, he's probably, he's figuring like,
you know, most everybody else is doing it.
Pat's ghosted him, no response, whatever.
Danielle Brandon's Danielle Brandon.
And Roman doesn't seem like that type of
guy.
So that's probably why he's like,
I don't understand why it's happening.
well and it's also he probably is like
listen i've i've let a lot of bygones
be bygones and doing these interviews i've
interviewed fee i'm trying to interview
velner i'm trying to be fair about it
all and if someone's still holding a
grudge against me that's pretty stupid
yeah it's a while um
Ortega says,
so we're really surprised he said no and
DB said no.
DB did not say no.
DB didn't say anything.
She didn't say anything.
She did respond once and then didn't
respond again.
Yeah.
But it was not a no.
No.
Left him on read since then.
Uh,
Dave sounded more annoyed that he had to,
has to talk to DB's agent,
which is pretty standard.
Well,
especially if Danielle reached out to him
to ask about workouts.
That's exactly what I was fixing to say.
Like you want to text me and ask
me about workouts and whatever,
and trying to get me to give up
information.
But when I ask you if you want
to come on and just do this athlete
interview with me for thirty minutes and
you let me know and you just ghost
me, that could be a problem.
I can understand that would be like,
that's a whole different type of
relationship at that point.
Judy Reed,
could Roman have declined because of
interview time, et cetera?
Something totally innocent.
Listen,
Dave has been accommodating to just about
everybody.
The proven camp,
he did all on their rest day.
Yep.
He has moved around to accommodate the
athletes as much as he possibly can.
I think Roman just doesn't want to do
the interview.
Yeah.
Which is his prerogative.
But in all fairness, he didn't ghost him.
And he said no.
I'm going to tell you something.
In my line of actual work,
my work stuff,
I would much rather you tell me to
get bent than just disappear.
Tell me you don't like me.
Tell me you don't like what I'm trying
to sell you.
Tell me we don't like what I'm doing.
Cool.
I can deal with that.
Not a problem.
But don't just vanish.
Because then I'm going to keep bugging
you.
I'm going to keep poking you until you
say something one way or the other.
At least Roman said, no, I'm good.
I don't want to do that.
Yeah, because I will tell you,
I've had DB on the show a couple
times.
She is not an easy person to schedule,
to get pinned down on when to do
an interview.
We've done a couple great interviews with
her.
I've enjoyed every bit of them,
but the process getting to that point was
painful.
Yeah, I can see that.
Yeah.
And at the end of the day,
I guess it is Roman's prerogative to say
no.
Yeah.
I mean, any,
any one of them could have,
it's well within your, he's an adult,
right?
He's a grownup and Hey man, I don't,
I don't want to do that.
I mean,
I guess he could have went beast boat
and went and got on and just said,
I'm just here to avoid the fine.
I'm just here.
So I don't get fine.
I'm just here.
So I don't get fine.
My God,
that's one of my favorite interviews ever.
Ortega, bro.
One of her sponsors sent me to do
media for,
and we could not ever schedule a time
and sponsor just said, forget it.
I, I cannot dispute any of that.
I've had very similar.
And I went,
I had to go through her agent on
part of it too.
And still I,
Some people are just busy, man.
They got busy lives.
Just busy.
She's out there doing stuff,
moving and shaking.
Again,
she was entertaining the troops this
weekend.
Perhaps I should make the games interviews
part of the games contract.
He has all of them but three.
Do we need to add language to a
contract because three out of sixty don't
want to do it?
No, we don't.
And we don't even know if three don't
want to do it.
We know one doesn't want to do it.
We know one doesn't want to do it.
Two are being difficult.
Yeah, have not responded.
Did you hear the part where one of
Dave's old SEAL buddies said, hey,
why didn't you invite Ben Smith to the
opening ceremonies?
And Dave's like, we did.
And he reached out to Ben and said,
uh...
Why don't you read your email?
Hey, man.
You might want to check that.
And then he confirmed that Ben is coming
to the opening ceremonies.
Turns out Ben is really bad at reading
emails.
He has checked it and is in fact
coming.
Yeah.
I can believe that.
And I know most of those people probably
follow Ben.
dave so like the dm thing probably isn't
that difficult when i was doing interviews
until you could get a follow back from
an athlete tracking them down through dm
was painful
they probably get a million of them a
day just random stuff people were like
because it all goes i always see your
messenger if somebody's like responding to
your story or something like that so like
you get up you probably got eight hundred
notifications it's hard to nobody's
sifting through all that and go oh let
me see if someone is following me
someone's trying to message me like that's
got to be tricky to do
When I even, like over the years,
got phone numbers, got email addresses,
and still like had a difficult time
getting some of these younger athletes to
respond.
Oh, I bet.
And like six weeks later, oh,
I was just going through my texts and
saw you texted me back in January.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Appreciate it.
I'm glad you followed up.
Yeah.
So glad you followed up.
I'm glad you got there with me.
What about Guy?
Did he do an interview?
I don't think it's done yet.
But he did mention, like,
Medeiros is still coming.
uh i must it sounded like he still
has some like scheduled and are happening
in the next few days the only people
he did not have an answer for were
velner brandon roman so um so yeah
The other thing I learned in the follow
interview was,
of the thirty female athletes,
ten did the teen games.
Oh, see, where did I see that?
Was that on his...
It must be in a clip somewhere that
I saw that he was saying that,
just talking about how many of them,
the females,
were teen athletes before and how him and
Boz are having a conversation when they
instituted the teens that, man,
it'd be awesome if one day people go
from the teen games to the actual games.
And it looks like it's happening,
or being a lot more prevalent anyway,
on the females,
on the lady side of the board than
it is the guys.
I heard in one of his interviews,
he talked about the men's side too,
and it's high this year.
This year it is, yeah.
Yeah.
But I can't remember the exact number,
so I didn't want to quote it.
I mean, you got Dallin, you got...
James Tudor.
James Tudor.
I don't think Justin was a teen.
He was not.
No.
So he just wasn't a teen games athlete.
So I can't remember,
but I know it was close to what
the women's were.
And it's like the first time the men's
had caught up to that.
Yeah.
It always seems easier for the women to
Trent, you know,
or it's more translatable as far as I
was concerned, you know,
Haley went straight from one to the other
tie.
Mr. Jenkins.
Yeah.
So, yeah,
it's starting to climb up there too.
Which is cool to see.
The last thing I want to say about
Dave,
he talked about the flip turns and the
dives.
Here we go.
I'm not going to go into it again.
Yeah, good.
He did mention some safety reasons,
which I said if he said that,
I was okay with it.
Sure.
Not sure I completely under... Whatever.
It is what it is.
But what he did say at the end
of it is,
what I love about this is that it's
creating a reaction.
And people are talking about it and
complaining about it.
And I was like, that's the old Dave.
And didn't he also say like,
and they haven't figured out what I
actually mean by that yet.
Yeah.
But I mean, all that part.
Sure.
He's trying to explain why.
And it comes down to some safety stuff
and maybe like what he's used to as
a seal and blah, blah, blah.
Again, he said safety.
And I said, I would,
I would lay off if it was a
safety issue.
It's a dive I completely understand.
Is the pool shallow enough?
Sure.
That makes sense.
Well, he's saying slip on the deck.
If you're doing something else outside,
he said hypothetically,
if you're doing something outside on the
deck and then have to go from whatever
that is into the pool,
running and diving in on a wet deck
is not safe.
I've slipped and fallen on a deck.
Had a concussion.
Whole bit.
It happens.
But then he went to the flip turn
and shallow water blackout.
Sounds like a band.
Sounds like a Southern rock band.
I had less understanding for that.
One, they're...
only need like two lifeguards for a
handful of lanes or ten lanes right if
someone doesn't come up on a flip turn
you can get in there within fifteen
seconds and pull them out um but again
i said if he said for safety reasons
i would lay off and so i'm laying
off hold on for a second because i'm
so confused
That sounds like a terrible light beer.
Shallow water blackout.
Good old shallow water blackout.
Coming to a saloon near you.
Here we go.
What we're looking at is it's when a
swimmer faints caused by lack of oxygen to
the brain triggered by holding your breath
repeatedly for too long without immediate
rescue, swimmer quickly drowns.
Hmm.
It would have to be a really slow
flip turn.
I mean, like, super slow.
Slower than mine, which is pretty slow,
FYI, because I just figured it out.
But I will say, in fairness,
we are only two years removed from a
swimming death at the games.
I get that part of it.
If you're going to be overly cautious,
okay.
I get that part of it.
But it is what it is.
Yeah, it is.
We are not changing Dave's mind between
now and July.
We wouldn't, if it was July,
twenty second, twenty, twenty seven,
we're not going to change Dave's mind.
Dave's going to do what Dave's going to
do.
And if he decides he's going to change
his mind, then yeah, sure.
And they'll change it up to,
like you said, what we said before,
up to the very last second, like three,
two, one.
Oh, hold on for a second.
You guys can dive in.
Go.
Other than that, no.
Judy said,
I wonder if they're swimming with
something strapped to them.
Whoa.
Strapped to their back.
Got it.
I think that there's no way in hell.
No.
There's no way they are adding difficulty
to the swim after taking out diving and
flip turns.
Yeah.
We're going to take out diving and flip
turns and we're going to make you all
swim with a thirty pound rook.
Because safety.
Enjoy yourselves.
I'm hoping they have to get out of
the pool on both ends to do something.
They won't have the opportunity to have to
do flip turns.
That could be it too.
It could be that there won't be a
need for a flip turn because you are.
People will stop bitching about it if
that's the case, right?
If you got to do a dumbbell snatch
on this side and a bar muscle up
on the other side and you got to
swim to make your transitions,
then people will quit.
At least we'll quit bitching about it.
they're still going to complain about a no
dive in.
But because that's going to be weird,
dude, like he's gonna hop in the pool.
Just Yeah, cannonball.
Like, what's like?
And Lito is right.
I think the original reasoning that
annoyed people was to remove competitive
advantage.
Yeah.
Which that's,
that's another horse that we have beaten.
If you just mentioned safety.
Yes, it's silly,
but more would understand.
Yes.
Joey, you got to understand,
Dave's going to post stuff just to mess
with you.
Have you ever seen his open clues?
Come on.
Yeah.
I thought everybody would get that one.
No, you did not.
And if you did, nobody's ever gotten one.
Nobody's ever looked at one of Dave's
clues and be like, oh, yeah,
makes perfect sense.
Hasn't happened.
So if an athlete accidentally dives in,
it's a no rep,
and they have to get out and jump
back in?
It could be that.
That's an excellent question.
It could be an arbitrary penalty of time.
Yeah, which is probably a lot more likely.
Although that would be funny.
Get out!
Yeah.
Is the chance of them hearing you no
rep them?
No.
I'm going to tell you right now,
this past year, swimming at Legends,
my wife and everybody yelling at me the
entire time I was in the water,
apparently,
and I know that because I saw the
video afterwards,
because you can't hear nothing once you're
in the water.
All you hear is splash, splash,
splash when people are swimming around
you.
You hear water rushing by your ears.
That's it.
When I was swimming all the time, right,
as a swimmer, you can hear some things,
but it's very muffled.
You're not getting exact words or...
like you're aware of the fact that people
are making noise that's about that's about
that's for me anyway that's about as far
as i got um uh my vote is
on that one you'd have to get out
and go back in or repeat the lap
if you can't hear it till the other
end well go around do it again so
let me ask you this if if they
can't dive in is everybody going to just
start in a pool
It sounded like feet first jump by what
Dave was saying.
But I don't know.
That is so silly.
Andrew Sten wants judges in scuba gear
under the water going...
absolutely is your how's your scuba uh
certification stand is it pretty good like
it's up to date and you got gear
the feet first jump yes i'm with tristan
the feet first jump in is absolutely
bananas and you know that as a swimmer
like you're just gonna jump in feet first
and then what just lean over and start
swimming like go all the way down to
the bottom and then scoot off the bottom
we can't flip turn you didn't say we
jumping in feet first all the way down
hit the bottom shoot yourself as far as
you can go that's what i would do
if i had to do that if the
pool was the right size it's not a
you know ten twelve feet deep whatever
shoot down to the bottom
Bend your knees.
Get your feet loaded up.
Shoot yourself off in any direction.
Dolphin kick as far as you can until
you break the water.
I mean,
that's what I'm doing if I got to
jump in feet first.
So I want to talk about one more
thing before we end the lunch show today.
Yes, sir.
And that is on the Mayhem Athlete
podcast...
And now his name escapes me.
I know you're talking about,
I can't think of his name either.
Brennan Brennan.
Yes.
Brennan Brennan talked about that.
The games needed to be known and knowable
that if we want to see the athletes
at their best,
that we needed to see them, um,
know what the workouts are,
be able to work on those workouts,
and then perform them at the highest
ability at the games.
The examples he used is that Tom Brady
knows what he's up against.
Steph Curry knows what he's up against.
LeBron James knows what,
Tiger Woods knows what he's up against.
And that is very faulty reasoning.
Tom Brady was the best at what he
did because he adjusted to what was coming
at him faster than everybody else.
You know what Tom Brady knew was going
on?
A football game.
He didn't know what defense they were
running.
He didn't know what blitz package might be
coming.
He didn't know what coverage they were in
going into the play.
Now,
when he got to the line of scrimmage,
he had to decipher all of that.
And depending on what he sees,
everything changes.
Steph Curry doesn't know how they're going
to defend him when he dribbles up the
court.
The basketball one is a worse example than
the football one.
At least the football one,
there's eleven guys on the field.
You're going to have either three down
linemen or four down linemen.
They're going to line up,
basically matching up what you have.
Basketball?
The amount of different defensive looks
you can get and still have me disguise
and whatnot because it's fluid.
It's moving the entire time.
There's no lining up every single time.
That's an even worse descriptor.
It's like saying that when Messi gets on
the field to play soccer that he knows
exactly what he's facing every time.
No, he doesn't.
You might know that they're going to play
a low block defense so they're just going
to be compact and just be in front
to goal.
But other than that, no.
What you have to be
is prepared for the unknown and the
unknowable and adjust to that as much as
you possibly can.
It's almost like somebody has said that
before.
I'm trying to remember who it was.
Give me a minute.
I'll think about it.
So in addition to that,
he mentioned golfers,
Scotty Scheffler and Tiger Woods.
Even in golf,
they changed the hole position.
They changed the tee box area.
You don't know the gust of wind that
might come along.
Anything like that.
Any of it, all of it,
any of it, all of it.
And I like Mark saying better bands or,
or individual sports,
like team sports are absolutely the worst,
worst examples.
You know what's known and knowable?
Track and field.
You're going to run from a hundred meters
from here to there in a straight line.
But you still have wind aided.
You still have conditions that come up.
And I'm not saying it's as drastic as,
hey,
we're going to do unbroken single unders.
Well, personally,
if you can't do an unbroken single under,
that's on you.
one of my favorite videos i've ever seen
is when henshaw made them do that at
um some mayhem camp and they got our
own video he was like we're gonna do
single owners today and everybody went
what because none of them had done single
unders and golly knows how long and the
majority of them struggled and it was
hilarious to watch to watch rich froning
try to do single unders and your body's
so used to prep the entire time that
now it's like oh you want me to
oh i haven't done these in forever yeah
no uh joey says i want to see
tia struggle on single unders alex's shoe
come off on the field jason blacking out
on a moderate weight snatch
I agree with all of that.
Where I do think,
and I think CJ made a great point
last night on WODprep,
is that if it's something completely new,
like when they first brought out pegboards
and three people could complete them,
that was not fun to watch.
No.
Right?
That, I think, needs to be...
If it's something like that,
like when they showed up with the snail
and nobody had seen that before,
like you hit it and all of a
sudden you're expecting to be able to
build up some momentum with it and it
doesn't move,
you can figure that out on the fly.
But every athlete was able to move it.
That's what I'm getting at.
Now,
whether they could move it at efficiency
and at the speed,
I'm okay with all that.
The first time they did freestanding
handstand push-ups –
Nobody in the crowd knew.
Nobody watching on TV knew what the
standard was.
The athletes didn't even freaking know
what the standard was.
And it looked like a mess.
And it was the final event.
Like,
it was a bad look for the final
event.
Agreed.
But I still want some unknown and
unknowable.
I just don't.
Better preparedness on standards.
The workouts themselves are largely, yes,
we have a few workouts.
They're going to give us probably a couple
more,
but there's twenty of them this year.
Even last year, dude,
how many workouts did they release before
the athletes got there?
Not a whole lot.
And what Lito's saying makes perfect sense
to me is that if we're going to
have a new movement,
give them the movement itself.
Hey, get ready.
You guys are going to have to do
triple unders this year.
Well,
and I think maybe it was John Young,
but the two of them were talking.
Like,
when they did the crossover double-unders,
they put out a video of Boz doing
crossover double-unders.
And that was it.
They didn't explain, like,
but at least they knew they were kind
of coming.
Yeah.
Right?
If they would have put out that first
year of the pegboards,
just someone doing a pegboard on the
CrossFit game site...
You know, people would,
some people would choose to like work on
it and some would not just because they
put it there.
They didn't announce it as an event or
right.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
You know,
something else that's known and knowable,
better recovery,
better sleep with third Z and you can
get yours for
Or use promo code Jazzy at checkout and
get fifteen percent off.
And the other thing, you know,
about third Z is you're not going to
pop during a drug test.
It's third party tested.
You're not going to have the melatonin
hangover.
But you're going to get good night's
sleep, full recovery,
all that collagen protein,
and you're going to be better for it
the next day.
It's a wonderful thing.
Everyone needs sleep.
Thank you, Vicky.
Yes, thank you, Georgie.
Joseph says,
Katrin didn't know when she won.
Katrin won because she refused to
participate.
Because she figured out she couldn't do
it, and she said, well,
I can't do that,
so I'm not going to.
Which I understand was well within the
rules at that point,
but that is why we now have minimum
work requirements.
I hate when people bring this up because
it raises the hackles on the back of
my neck.
Oh, moving right along.
Sorry, I get easily distracted.
Mark Phillips, thank you.
Ten dollars.
Can't go full show with no girls to
the games donations.
Every super chat that is given.
Thank you, Mark.
Every chat,
every super chat that is donated is going
to Jamie and Carolyn to get them to
the games.
And we appreciate all the donations that
have come in so far.
And we're going to continue to take
donations through this Sunday night show.
can um be prepared to be pissing for
two to three minutes straight as you don't
wake up at all night that is a
fact so that is a fact that is
a fact plus you will sleep you relax
so much that when you even if you
get up to pee it's a long pee
because like everything is dropped because
you're so relaxed you're just like you're
just standing there
Really still mostly asleep.
Cause I can,
the couple of times I've taken it and
did wake up to pee in the middle
of the night, my head,
I was asleep before my head hit the
pillar, getting back into bed.
It was like, yeah, done.
Traint was too tired to make a third
Z last night,
and she's paying for it today.
I hope to God I get to meet
Winter one day, like in person,
and just call her Traint.
Traint!
Give her a big hug,
especially if I can yell it out when
there's a lot of people around to look
at her and go...
Let's just hope it's not like to get
you handcuffed,
slam you down on the back of the
car, and then...
I, uh, I, my, uh,
my days of doing stuff that would get
me arrested or have at least not even
arrested.
Have me have a conversation with the
police have been gone.
Now,
if I have a conversation with the police,
it's probably cause I called them for
something.
Hey,
I'm gonna need y'all to get over here.
There's some shit going on.
Yeah.
Speaking of calling, I had a neighbor, uh,
that we had a storm lightning struck hit
a tree tree fell she called she called
she called got a a quote on having
it removed scheduled the removal hoa
president reported her and find her for
not removing the tree it's only been ten
days
find her for not removing a tree you
know there was a big storm like lots
of trees went down do you ever try
to schedule a tree service person i have
not thank god i don't need it but
after a storm they're busy they're quite
busy dude after hurricane ida last year or
not last year good lord i was in
but after hurricane ida
the tree service people you could hear
chainsaws around the parish from daylight
till dusk from people just because so many
trees that got knocked down here there and
yonder they they show up at one spot
cut it up and there's there's piles of
brush and limbs and trunks and whatever
else everywhere it was wild dude hoas are
very stupid i am a member of one
and much i hate to admit it i
do not like it i went to one
meeting and
I ain't never been back.
So here's a peek behind the curtain.
I've gotten fined by my HOA several times.
Several times, right?
I picked black shingles for my roof when
it got re-roofed.
You son of a bitch.
Black is not an approved shingle color.
How dare you?
And so I was racking up some fines.
I put out a bookshelf for bulk pickup
to come pick up and take away.
I put it out too early.
You son of a bitch.
The night before was too early.
I got a fine.
I was refusing to pay the fines.
I was taking a stand.
My black shingles are not allowing black
shingles.
Not allowing black shingles is one hundred
percent racist.
Absolutely.
And so I was refusing to pay the
fines.
On general principle.
Yeah.
And then they got serious and they were
going to take me to court.
Oh.
So in Louisiana,
the way the laws are set up,
it's set up to protect the homeowner,
not the HOA.
So they can...
I'm going to put a lien on your
house.
I'm going to put a lien on your
house if you refuse to pay whatever
arbitrary fines they decide to give you.
But...
As long as you don't sell your house,
it doesn't matter.
You can be there.
I'm going to die in this house anyway.
There's a dude in our neighborhood that
has over twenty thousand dollars worth of
fines.
And every time he gets a new one,
he's just like.
Because he doesn't care because he's not
moving like he's like, I'm not going.
I'm not.
I was here before this neighborhood was
here.
Y'all can all bite me.
They've sold him into the neighborhood.
So Julie Switzer got involved, said to me,
said to me, okay,
we owe all these fines that are going
to take us to court.
Send them five bucks.
We will send them five dollars a month.
Religiously,
we're going to send them five dollars a
month at the beginning of every month.
Beautiful.
And that's what we've been doing.
And they are not taking us to court
because they're getting five bucks a
month.
Here's your five bucks.
Oh, wait.
It's July.
Here's your five bucks.
That's fantastic.
It's August.
Here's another five dollars.
Here's another five dollars.
That is, yeah,
the Clydesdale payment plan.
Yep.
God bless, Julie.
That's amazing.
Yep.
she's like well they can't say we're not
paying she's not wrong so yeah world cup
update from omar uh argentina is losing to
egypt yeah it was one nil earlier i
saw that i had the score update come
up that's not that shouldn't be happening
fyi in case you have no idea about
soccer egypt should not be beating
argentina
like the guy who was told he had
to build a fence in front of his
boat so he painted a picture of the
boat on the fence dude have you seen
that i haven't it is legit it is
legit like the boat is still behind the
fence but now there's a where the fence
is it's just a picture of the front
it's amazing
It's some shit I would do.
A hundred percent.
Oh, okay.
I'll put a fence up.
Don't even worry about it.
Got it.
Not a big deal.
That is fantastic.
I don't like mine because the stuff that
I do want them to enforce,
the stuff that I do want them to
address and whatnot, they don't.
And that's the shitty thing.
My neighbor, like three houses down,
had a hayfield in his front yard.
And you know that it's full of like
black snakes and whatever else.
Yeah.
Rats.
And that goes on for months.
I put a bookshelf out for the garbage
man to pick up and I get a
fine.
How dare you?
How dare you?
When they first fined me for the black
shingles,
I was going to paint all the trim
on my house black because it was illegal
too.
Yeah.
To match my shingles.
This is why we're friends because I am
that level of petty as well.
And it took Julie Switzer to say.
Yeah.
Just don't do that.
We'll just give him five bucks a month.
Oh, so I'm catching up.
Apparently, you know that as a swimmer.
Yeah.
All right.
Well,
I'm going to get back to the shitty
workday that I am in the middle of.
Hopefully things improve by the end of the
day.
And if it doesn't,
you only got a couple hours left.
So it's fine.
Yeah, I got half my day,
four more hours to go.
Man,
I'll give you all my agent my one
HOA story when I get an opportunity to
because it's, it's pretty entertaining.
I may or may not have crossed out
a seventy eight year old man.
