Clydesdale Media Podcast

We sit down with Will Moorad CrossFit OG and Legend, who already has a spot in the Age Group CrossFit Games and will now be taking his shot at an elite CrossFit Games Spot.  Would he be willing to do the double or just focus on one.

What is Clydesdale Media Podcast?

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.

I was born to kill it.

I was meant to win.

I am down and willing,

so I will find a way.

It took a minute,

now it didn't have to ride away.

When it get hot in the kitchen,

you decide to stay.

That's how a winner's made.

Stick a fork in the head of

my dinner plate.

What is going on, everybody?

Welcome to the Clydesdale Media Podcast,

where we're celebrating the

athletes of the 2024

CrossFit Games Semifinals.

And I have with me CrossFit Games legend,

Will Morad.

What's going on, Will?

What's going on, man?

Happy to be here.

Yeah,

so what's interesting is I've been

around the sport a long

time as a volunteer and then into media.

I've been in the building

for a lot of your big events.

Yeah.

So in 2014 in Cincinnati,

I was there when you first

punched your ticket to the

CrossFit Games.

Oh, yeah.

Hey, man.

Hey, that venue.

That's one of my all-time favorite venues,

but definitely good

memories in Cincinnati.

That's rolling back the clock.

I haven't really thought

about that in a minute.

Yeah,

you kind of came out of nowhere that

year.

Yeah, I mean...

To the late, to the late.

Yeah.

Fair.

Like, I, I think I was,

I was one of the top seeds going in,

like after the open, um,

whatever that means, but yeah,

I didn't have a lot of

history behind my name at that point.

Uh, well, there you were.

Um, and it was a cool venue.

Like it had a great warmup area.

Um, yeah, huge warmup area,

like completely separate from the venue,

uh,

um it was a little bit of a

walk to get to the to the

arena but yeah still one of

my all-time favorite venues

I think just because of the

separation yeah because

once you were off the floor

you kind of were away from

everything got to be yeah

you know and you can shut

it down like really cool

the engines and then uh

restart which I appreciate

I mean every every venue is

a little bit different even last year at

In Orlando,

our hotel was right across the street.

So it's similar, right?

I like just to be able to

turn off the switch and

then turn it back on for the events.

And then I was in Knoxville

when you made the 81-point

comeback to punch your

ticket to the games.

Pretty epic events, man.

Yeah, man.

I've got a list of them now.

We're heading back to that arena.

So hopefully less stressful

competition next weekend.

Yeah.

So the big question for me

is you've been competing

both masters and elite

throughout the season.

You are,

you finished first in the semis

for 35 to 39.

Is there a focus or are you

just doing both until the

meter runs out somewhere?

No, the plan is Texas, but really,

and I wasn't really

planning on doing the masters until,

Um, just because my focus is Texas.

Uh, but there is some,

my family and my friends, my coaches,

a lot of people were like, dude,

no one's ever competed at both.

Um,

I think people have qualified for both.

I think Briggs, maybe Becca Voigt, um,

needed I'd need to check my

history or maybe you know

the answer to that but no

one's been able to compete

at both so the opportunity

to do something that's

never been done before in

the sport is kind of unique

um and rare opportunity not

everybody that gets the

chance for a first in a

sport so that's kind of

cool to me um and I i dave

actually came to

tennessee for one of the

open announcements and he

stopped by the gym we were

training at and he kind of

put the bug in my ear as

well he's like hey man why

don't you try to go for

both and I was like well

that's a lot of training

man and when you're about

to be I turned 35 on

saturday it's like you

gotta respect the body but

I ended up doing the

semifinals for the masters

actually did it I did the

whole simulation of the individuals and

Then I rested a day and then

I did all the Masters

semifinal events in like 36 hours.

So it was like a mini games

just to knock it out so I

could get back to

preparation for Knoxville.

So, yeah, I rushed through them all,

ended up winning that,

which is I would say was my expectation.

I think I'm probably the

first gen or like part of

that first gen of guys who

were like really

professionals that are now

aging up um and I think

there is a gap like now

between guys that have been

doing this as their

livelihood for a decade and

then people you know were I

don't know I just think

there's a gap right between

guys who have been bona

fide pros for a long time

and then now aging up so I

think from now on you're

going to see some top level

guys and girls starting

aging up and there will be

I wouldn't be surprised if

there's a big gap between

them and the rest of the

field in the age group

categories if they decide to keep going.

Yeah,

a lot of the OGs have not even

attempted the Masters.

You know, like your Riches, your, you know,

Scott Pancheck did last year,

but I got sick.

Yeah, I think he was sick.

He had the flu or something, which sucked.

But yeah, Scott did it.

I guess Spiel did it, Kasper Bauer,

Urencar, I'm leaving guys out.

So a couple guys have done it, but still,

they weren't 24 when they

got into the sport like I was, right?

And done it as their livelihood.

So it's a little bit different.

And for Rich, I mean, why would,

that dude's got nothing left to prove.

He's the man, so.

I get why he didn't do it.

It's a lot of training.

It's hard on your body.

I don't recover like I did when I was 24,

25, 26, 27.

And he's got kids and stuff.

So there's like, I don't have kids.

So there's a lot of just

lifestyle factors that I

think impact your ability

to continue to compete at

the highest level in sport

as you get older.

It just,

There's a lot of things that become, like,

you just reorganize your priorities,

which is life, right?

Yeah,

which is a couple roads I want to go

down.

One is the recovery.

Like,

I was talking to Jamie Hagia on Sunday,

and she's done the same thing, right?

She's done the Elite and the Masters.

It's like you don't really

get a weekend off.

Now she goes a week earlier

than you on semis.

So you actually had a little

bit bigger gap between age

group semis and elite semis.

How does the body feel after all that?

Uh, I feel okay.

You know, like I,

I feel like I have every

other year a little banged up.

I don't think I've gone into

a semifinal or a games healthy ever.

Um,

you know, but what's healthy, right?

Like I've, I've been training well.

Um,

my testing has gone very well for these

events.

The age group went well and

I was able to just kind of

coast through that.

So I feel like I'm a 35 year

old athlete who's been

competing in international

sports since he was 17.

So, you know, I, I, uh,

I feel good.

I'm happy.

Like spirits are high.

Um, today's a rest day, so that's nice.

I'll get some body work and, um,

thank you.

I do have a lot of nice books.

I know how to read.

It's pretty cool.

Um,

I think you're the first person to have

like a library behind you as we talked.

This is more of my wife, um,

as far as the aesthetic goes, but

I was a lit major, um,

X phase and lit major.

So there you go.

Yeah.

When I, when I graduated with my master's,

I swear I'd never read a book again.

Um, uh, business.

Okay, cool.

Yeah.

I'm the same way, man.

I read so much in college, especially for,

for lit.

Right.

And I read now more of just like training,

um,

guides and case studies and

things to improve recovery

like super boring black and

white stuff where

literature is a little bit

more gray as far as what

you're reading about but

yeah man yeah so my other

question that you brought

up is you've you've been

through a lot in your

career right you you had

the misdiagnosis in the

late teens your wife's

cancer all of those things has it

made you appreciate what you

have now more oh yeah man

and that's it was just

public I guess me going

through that stuff so it

seems it is does seem crazy

but I think everybody you

know has to go through

crazy things uh those were

just a bit more public

facing so it maybe is you

know magnified but um yeah

man I would say I

definitely appreciate things and

I think the athlete I was

going into the 2014 games

will look a lot different

than the athlete I am going

into the 2024 games,

assuming I go do my job next weekend.

So I'm just,

I've grown up in the sport and

I've had a lot of life experiences.

And I think those challenges

outside of the floor of

competition have helped me just grow

in life.

I've always said sports such

a great teacher, you know, and you have,

you know,

I've missed the games by one spot,

and I've made the games by one point,

like,

I've just have a lot of experience

in the sport and outside of

the sport to just give me a, I think,

a healthy perspective on

what is important to me and

what gives me fulfillment.

Not only like in my training

and the way I do that,

but just also in life and

and the way I'm the husband

I am and the brother and

the friend and all that.

So yeah, I've had a wild ride,

a little bit wilder than I

would have liked and a

little bit wilder than a

lot of athletes have had,

but I'm better because of it.

I wouldn't change a thing.

Yeah.

when you qualified for the first time,

that was the first time I'd

ever volunteered for an event.

So I instantly became a fan

because like you popped on the scene.

That was my first ever live event.

And then,

and then the misdiagnosis happened.

And I was like,

and we didn't really know about that.

You just stopped coming to events.

And it was like, what's going on.

Then when it popped up later

of what the reason was, like,

I just was in shock.

yeah yeah I don't know I've

always been a bit more

private with things like

that um and I just didn't

really it didn't really hit

me to be like oh this is

low as me you know I was

just gonna kind of move on

and I thought my my chapter

as a my chapter of life as

a pro athlete was over and

to be completely frank like to do

to get to the highest level

of sport is great, you know,

and I was at peace with that.

And,

and I thought that that was kind of

the end of that.

And I just was, I moved on and I,

I got a job in the tech

world with one of the

members of the gym I owned

at the time and just kind

of turn the page just to

keep using the metaphors of

the books behind me.

So, so yeah.

Yeah.

Um, so you're in Nashville now.

Um,

you're close to just about everything

that's happening except for Texas.

Like Knoxville is just down the road.

Then Birmingham,

if you would happen to go

to the masters games,

not that far from Nashville.

Um,

so you're kind of in the epicenter of

everything.

When did you move to Nashville and, and,

and why?

Yeah.

So I moved to Nashville in 1994.

Oh, wow.

with like, so I'm a unicorn here.

Um, I think I was, I was three or four, uh,

four,

I believe what 3 billion people have

moved there since it's yeah, dude,

it's crazy.

Like where my neighborhood

is right now was just cow pastures.

Um, uh, yeah,

we moved because of my dad's job.

Um, me and my brother, my sister, my mom,

my dad all moved here and I

I've grown up here and

lived here ever since.

So Nashville has changed quite a bit.

Um,

But it is the happening place.

It's, I think,

unique to be in a place that

for this long and to watch it change,

at least it seems unique,

maybe just because of the

enormity of what Nashville

has become now.

But yeah,

I am close to Knoxville and Birmingham.

They're both about two hours away.

So it's convenient for this year.

And I mean, Texas is what,

a 90-minute flight?

It's pretty easy.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And two major airports.

So you're lucky there too.

Yeah, absolutely.

Um, so you left proven in the off season.

Are you coaching yourself or

do you have a coach?

Uh, yeah, I moved on from proven, um,

after the games, I, uh, no, I, I,

I did a lot of my own stuff

through the off season.

And to be, to be honest,

I did a lot of my stuff

throughout my whole career.

Um,

whether I was attached to a brand or not,

I just kind of liked the autonomy.

And I think that is, uh,

just being able to exercise

like my ex-fizz background

and things like that.

And, and trusting myself is important.

And I think most,

most athletes need to have

some autonomy in their life,

especially as they become, you know,

more veteran athletes.

No,

no coach is going to know exactly what

you need to do all the time.

They're just not in your body,

but I'm working with Max

Elhaj at TTT again, which has been great.

Yeah.

I've been working with him

since around Christmas time.

And yeah, it's no, it's,

business as usual with him.

Like we've known each other

a very long time,

so we know how to communicate.

There was no learning curve.

Uh, it was just back, back to work.

And like for someone who's

been around a lot, as long as you,

and you've actually done

some coaching yourself, like, yeah.

Do you and Max have like

this synergy where he knows

what you're capable of and

what you're going to take

care of and just where he has to step in?

Absolutely.

It's, there's a trust there.

And it's all about communication.

And we're great at that.

I'm actually talking to him

a little bit later today.

But yeah, he trusts me.

And I think it would be

almost a regression for me

and for him if I just put

everything on his plate.

So he's helped me a lot.

Just

develop as an athlete to

trust my process um to

trust him and to

communicate with him and to

understand that he's going

to look at things

objectively and what he

thinks I can actually do

and and approach them on

how we can improve my

performance where sometimes

if you try to do that

yourself it's easier to be

a little bit subjective or

biased towards different

things so yeah he's

he's great to work with.

I actually, one of my clients,

I am coaching.

One of my clients has

qualified for the masters games,

Beth Gillette.

So that's pretty cool.

I can, I can add that to the resume,

which felt just as good as

making the games to be

completely honest with you,

like making the games last

year versus getting one of

my clients to qualify for the games.

So that's that was really cool.

I would just love to get

more eyes on the Masters altogether.

I covered Legends last year.

There's so many stories in

that group of people that

need to be told.

And so we're definitely

going to be covering the

Masters games this year.

Very cool.

So that's always baffled me

with people who coach

themselves is how they can self-assess

without bias.

So it's cool that you have

someone like Max that you

can talk to that's going to

give you the frank answer.

Like, no, you really suck at that.

Exactly.

Right.

You know?

Well, like in pro sport, it's,

there's no sugarcoating it.

You know,

if you need to snatch 300 pounds

and you can't snatch 300 pounds and

then you need to learn how to do that.

And at this point in the sport,

everybody's like, oh, how do I do this?

What do I need to do?

There's so much data on what

the best in the world are capable of.

Just open your browser and Google things,

and you could probably write out

exactly what metrics you

need to be across the games

athlete or get pretty damn

close I mean there's no

secret everybody's like oh

I got the secret program I

got this it's like no at

this point sport's been

around long enough you've

got some of the best

athletes to ever do it and

all their data and all

their regional scores and

game scores chase those you

know it's it's it's right

in front of you um and

that's the truth right

you're the coaches I think

all the big coaches are

using those numbers um what

else are we going off of right so

when it sounds like you're a

data guy and you know,

max well known for being a data guy, um,

are,

do you have everything spreadsheet it

out?

Like this is where, where we, not,

not to the,

not to probably what Brent has

it spreadsheet it out as like that.

But, um, uh, yeah, I mean, I,

I know I have plans and,

I mean,

I don't know exactly what you mean

by spreadsheet it out,

but I have a lot of data

points and especially in pre-competition,

I have a lot of key

indicators of where I need

to be in workouts, in preparation,

in warmups, in recovery,

everything is mapped out.

And a lot of that is really

just intuitive at this point.

It's just programmed into me.

So what does it look like on

a competition weekend?

Is max going to be there?

Do you,

does your coach's band go to

someone else that you just

need as support or a pack mule or.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's a little bit of both, right?

My wife will probably get my coaches past.

She got it last time we were in Knoxville.

So we'll just keep the good vibes there.

Uh, but max will be there.

I'm sure Travis will give max his,

so he'll be in the warmup area with us.

Um,

And then I'll have a body work guy, Chris,

come with me, which is very important.

Just keeping the body fresh

for the weekend.

And that's it.

Business as usual.

Once we get to Knoxville,

everything's on repeat.

And it's just rinse, repeat.

With you and Travis both being under Max,

do you ever train together?

Or are you just veterans and

you just do your own thing?

We trained together a lot in the past.

Since I've come back on with Max,

I haven't been down to Atlanta yet.

I assume I'll go down there

for a few weeks for games prep,

assuming we both make it next weekend.

And me and Travis are longtime friends.

He was my first other pro

training partner I had in my career.

We started training together

right after the games in 14.

So there's a lot of miles on

that relationship.

And obviously he's had it.

a lot of changes in life

with his family growing.

And I've had a lot of changes in my life,

obviously,

with all the challenges you've

spoke about earlier.

So we've kind of been

friends through all that, which is,

it kind of transcends sport

at that point.

So he's a great friend of mine.

And yeah, to answer your question,

we're just kind of both

pros on the weekend.

And we kind of do our on the

day to day to just do our own thing.

And

Really,

we check up on each other just

how's the fam more now than

how's training going.

We've shared semifinal event

scores and stuff like that

just to get good pace

strategies and insights.

But really,

it's just checking up on the human.

So I actually talked to Kira

Napoli yesterday who Travis

is coaching and dipping his

toe in that coaching water.

And it was really

fascinating to hear her

perspective on Travis as a coach.

Um,

but that they have all these

ground rules because he has

four kids and a wife and

needs to get to all that.

But it was really fascinating,

and I love Travis,

so it's going to be fun to

see him back on the floor

next week as well.

So the workouts are out.

Everybody has said you can

take these six workouts,

drop them in 2014 or 15,

and they would fit.

that it's just classic

CrossFit nothing I'd like

to see I'd like to see the

guys run in 2014-15 I would

have been alright I was

always a good runner but

the running game has

changed a lot since my

first year to now in a

great way everybody's a

great runner now at least

like the top you know top

10 15 guys at the games are

quality runners so other

than that one which would have been

uh I think there would have

been just a bigger spread

um yeah I agree yeah it's a

great weekend you've been

to knoxville any ideas

where you're where they're

going to make your run I

have an idea um there's a

like a yeah I think I think

I have an idea where the

route will be the loving cock area

Yeah, we'll run out the loading dock,

and then I think we'll loop

around to that one side,

not up towards the parking garage,

but down around the other side.

And then I think that's flat-ish,

and it's a longer area,

and we might do like a loop

there or something.

Other than that, if it's not,

then it's going to be a hilly run,

or maybe they bring those

treadmills out for us.

I don't think they're

bringing the treadmills out.

Yeah, I doubt it.

It would make sense to go

out the loading docks.

and either go down or up the hill, right?

Yeah, well,

I think it's flattish if you go

to the right, if you go out.

Okay.

But who knows?

Well, it's as flattish as Tennessee is.

Exactly.

Yeah, and that area in Knoxville,

just where the Civic Center is,

is pretty hilly.

So we'll see.

We'll know next week.

You did 16 regional snatch ladder.

Yes.

how how much better are you

today than you were that

much much better which is

nice for an old man I was

like oh dang that's a

really good score now so

hopefully I can replicate

that on on sunday after mid

morning or whenever that is

uh jake chapman says will

looks like bradley cooper

if he lifted weights I

think that's a good thing I

think so too I take that um

have a baseball cap

collection I'm a cubs fan

how about that I'm sorry

about that I'm a chicago

bears fan but I'm a

pittsburgh pirate fan see I

just picked all the losing

teams yeah I've kind of

been in that realm for a

long time too um but yeah

and then someone compared

you to uh troy or gladiator or 300.

Or which one do you prefer?

Troy?

Those are all those are all tough.

So 300 kind of inspired the

CrossFit thing because all

those dudes were doing Jim

Jones back in the day.

We can really test people's

trivia on CrossFit.

So Mark Twight, who is a friend of Dave's,

I guess, trained those guys for 300.

So there's a little CrossFit

connect there.

I think Gladiator's got to get the nod,

right?

Like it won.

it probably inspired those

other two movies.

So my pick, but I'm not, yeah.

Yeah.

Russell Crowe was amazing in that.

And, and, uh, what, uh, the Phoenix guy,

uh, yeah.

Joaquin Phoenix.

Yeah.

He was, he was awesome in that as well.

Um, but yeah.

So, uh, what's the plan for Knoxville?

You, you live fairly close.

Are you going in just Thursday?

Uh,

uh we'll go up wednesday get

settled I mean the good

thing about being able to

drive up there is we do all

the meal prep and I'll get

my last training session in

here probably at the house

and then uh we'll go up

wednesday get settled do a

flush out thursday check in

and then showtime baby and

uh you say workout at the

house does your garage have

everything or do you have

to go to an affiliate for some aspects

yeah I have everything I

mean I have a 14 foot rope

I probably won't do rope

climbs on wednesday other

than that I have pretty

much everything it's like

25 feet and yeah I don't

I've accumulated enough

over the past decade where

I can I if I needed to I'd

get by and train for the

games in there which is super convenient

So is it like a barn or is

that just a big garage?

It's just a three-car garage.

It's right on the other side of this wall,

actually.

That's nice.

Yeah.

Maybe I'll do like a little

garage gym tour or something.

What was amazing is

yesterday Rogue announced

that they were moving out

of their original facility.

And I live here in Columbus.

So they posted like all the

equipment is free.

Just come and get it.

No way.

And I was in a training for

work and I could not get out.

I bet that thing was empty so quick.

Oh, when they used to do the garage sale,

like the amount of people.

And that was just when they

reduced the price.

Like this was free.

They would have been like

cockroaches flying.

Yeah.

It's so sad.

I missed it.

Cause my garage gym is not that big.

Uh, and I do have some nice equipment.

I just, if I can get a little more,

I'm going to go get free.

I mean, so, um, goals for this weekend,

just, just qualify.

Or do you have like,

do you want to hit like

event wins or something like that?

Yeah.

I, I mean, I finished six last year,

pretty much the same field.

I'd like to improve on that.

Uh,

That's as simple as that.

Top five, I guess it would be.

In North America East, it's a true test.

How you finish there tells

you if you'll be good at

the games as well because

you have a lot of top tier athletes.

We have a really studly

layout of athletes.

That's never changed for where I compete.

I've always been in the

most competitive region my

whole career and I've

always had you know a

pretty good finish at those

events so um yeah I think

it is somewhat indicative

of how you'll finish at the

games but also the tests

are a bit different at the

games there's usually

double the events at the

games um and it's like

who's peaking and that's

another thing that like a

lot of people don't talk

about like have you peaked

correctly it's it nothing's guaranteed

for, for anybody.

And we have the best, I mean, we got Adler,

we got Krennikov, uh, Dallin, Hopper,

Trav, me, Saxon, Spence, uh, who else?

I'm forgetting some guys,

but like we have a studly, studly, uh,

roster of athletes, bunch of like,

there's always new guys.

So, um,

you never know who's going to come

out of the woodwork.

I don't,

I don't know what will happen in Texas,

but, um,

It's probably an okay

indication of what will happen in Texas.

I finished 6th at North

America and then 14th at the Games.

I'm sure somebody's got some

BS spreadsheet that can compute that.

If you do well at semifinals

in a tough field,

then hopefully you'll do

well at the Games in a tougher field.

it's so funny cause you

started your career with

Scott and rich in your, in your region.

And that 2014 year, like that was epic.

And you were,

you were in the mix with all that.

And the two of them going at it,

that was just craziness.

That was, I mean,

we had a lot of guys that, I mean,

you had Graham Marcus, Nick, your anchor,

Nick Corey, Alex Anderson.

Yeah.

Central central is no joke.

Yeah, it's the same thing, though, right?

Like, we got a bunch of top 10 guys still.

You know,

it's always a bunch of top 10

guys at our semifinal.

So, yeah, man, I don't know.

It's just what I've been used to,

and you go out there and

you race as hard as you can,

and you see where the cards fall.

Doesn't it make you peak

differently than if you

were in another division, another region?

I think I train equally as hard,

no matter what region I was in, you know,

I don't think it changes my

preparation for, uh, for a big,

a big championship weekend.

Like next weekend will be right.

Uh, or we call,

I call it North America champs.

I think that sounds better

than syndicate crown, uh,

at least for the greater

cross people that don't

know what CrossFit is.

They probably have heard of

like North America champs.

If it's like for track and

field or something,

I don't know if it sounds better.

yes the crown sounds like a

game of thrones yeah like I

don't yeah they don't give

me the chance to name

anything yeah but yeah I'm

excited man uh it seems

like a watching last week

started to get me a little

bit excited this weekend

will get me more excited um

and then yeah I'm just I'm

ready to get out there and

and see what I can do did

you learn anything from watching europe

Yeah, I mean,

it kind of gives you an

indication of how your testing went,

which is always a good thing.

It's kind of like what we

were talking about with Max

and just your coach's role

in giving you the truth.

Now you kind of have the

answers to the test.

Close-ish.

We don't know how far the run was,

obviously.

That's the one event that's

kind of an up in the air

because their run could be

vastly different than ours.

What was the temperature?

All that type of stuff

changes what that dynamic is.

But everything else is straight up.

It's all on the same competition floor.

I believe all the

competition floors are

probably the same size and stuff.

I think they're pretty much all the same,

except for the tennis stadium.

I've heard that it's shorter

and it's outdoor.

They're going to have a

couple different factors

that others aren't going to have.

Exactly.

I think that's vast.

Even comparing semifinal to semifinal,

if those dudes are

competing in 100-degree sun,

it may be different than

competing indoors or in a cooler climate.

I mean, handstand walking on

lava rubber is different so

they'll probably do like

the glove rule or whatever

like they've done in the

past if it's out there yeah

who knows air conditioning

may go down in knoxville

you never know yeah I hope

not yeah I hope not a year

did that at the games man

it was sweltering and that

was at 21 yeah yeah I

remember that during the

thruster wall walk workout

man I've never sweat more

I was, like,

slipping out on my wall walks.

It was like a splash zone

every time you guys came

down off the wall walk.

Oh, yeah.

Well, Will, this has been a blast.

I want to thank you so much.

Good luck next week in Knoxville.

We're hoping to be there.

And we hope you punch your

ticket to the games again.

I appreciate you.

All right, man.

Everybody in the chat,

you've been a blast.

Thank you so much.

And we'll see everybody next

time on Clydesdale Media Podcast.

Bye, guys.
