We have a guest coming on for the first bit here, but if you're on your bike like in 90 minutes and we could talk to you, I'd love to talk to you. That'd be awesome. Oh, or are you training today when you say

you're on your bike, you're on the C2 this morning. What are you doing? Aaron, what's up, dude? Mike McCasky, hey, we are a minute early. Better than being like five or 10 minutes late. God, I've been just lagging. Uh, I haven't been getting up late, but I've just been dilly-dallying around the house. I'm like off my normal routine and schedule Ever since I came back from Newport, I've been fooling around more in the morning not staying on top of my game. I Gotta get Ari in here at some point today, too. He comes and looks in the window every day Can I come on the show? Can I come on the show?

Plenty of caffeine got plenty plenty of caffeine, plenty of paper street coffee. I see Kenneth used my the joke didn't go over so good yesterday. They were on the Glenton podcast and she had a guy I think was called like the MC life. I guess that guy is an MC for events, CrossFit events. He's the guy who stands on the floor and does play by play for the people in the audience But I made a joke I'll come on and talk about the Mac life, but I don't think it um, I

Don't think it landed I had a friend In my 20s he used to call me Seve Mac he was a In my 20s, he used to call me Sebi Mack. He was a Here's my buddy who was addicted to meth he got off I don't know if he got back on but he got off Lived in his blue Camaro on My driveway, is that a stain on my shirt? Geez, look at that thing What is that like Like oil or grease?

On my CEO shirt? Oh maybe, oh no no, it's just water. Let's watch that throughout the show. Hopefully that goes away. It feels wet. Must have been from when I put my shirt on after I got out of the shower. Lactating! Jizz stain.

Solid guess. You had a friend too. I had a friend too. The meth head friend. He was a cool dude. He was a cool dude. I wonder what happened to him. He was like 10 years older than me. He lived in my driveway in his Camaro. In college. Are Andrew Hiller and Brian Friend doing reps ahead? I think, I mean they say they are. I don't think they're gonna make it. It's not till like November, October, or November, I think. My prediction is is they will have a falling out before before reps ahead happens. That's my guess. Yeah, a lot can happen in six weeks. Yeah, totally.

We got a show tonight a crash crucible show It's late Bill Grunler is a working man father. So he can only do it at 7 p.m. So we're all rallying 7 p.m. Pacific Standard Time. It'll be late when Julia. What's up girl? Hi, Judy So we'll be going late tonight, I think it'll be myself, John, Tyler, Bill Grundler. John and Bill will be the ones doing the broadcasting for Crash Crucible this weekend. It's gonna be, it's gonna be quite a, quite a stacked

group of people. And then of course we have a wish art on this morning. I think, oh, there she is. And, uh, and she won the North Cal classic. Here she is. Hey, hey, good morning. Good morning. How are you? Um, one second. Um, all right, cool. Good morning. How are you? One second All right, cool Are you in California I am NOT in California no, oh are you California native I Am NOT no. Oh for some reason I thought you were just from like perusing your Instagram. Where's home for you? Indianapolis. Oh, okay. All right, so it's not 7 a.m. I you. I don't feel so bad. Yeah, it's 10 a.m. for me.

It's not bad at all. Hey, this is just the phone. This is just the audio from your computer? This is the audio from my phone. Oh, God, it sounds good. Okay, that's good. Yeah, it sounds great. I think I've learned over the years

that the audio from people's phone and computer is better than their AirPods, most of the time. I thought about putting on AirPods because usually I can't hear very well if I don't have them on, but it sounds really clear. So I'll just leave them for now. Okay, perfect. And you can always say what?

What'd you say? Hey, congrats on winning NorCal Classic. Thank you. Thank you very much. Is that is that your biggest win? That is my biggest win by far. Yeah, I was really excited about it. So yeah When you showed up there, did you have intentions of winning? Yes. Yeah, I planned that was my goal going into it last year I went and I got third and it was kind of because of a mistake that I made. Not really a mistake, something I was really bad at. They had a they had a kayak event and I did really really poorly and I was bitter and so I came back and that was my plan this year. So I was really excited about it. Yeah, what's your overall impression of the competition?

for NorCal Classic I I would say it's more of a local feeling competition with high-level competitors Because everybody's still camping outside just like we used to do when You know local competitions were more prevalent. I guess Everyone's camping outside all the events are outside So everything's like a little bit less controlled and a little bit less structured not structured petitions were more prevalent, I guess. Everyone's camping outside, all the events are outside. So everything's like a little bit less controlled and a little bit less structured, not structured, but if you know what I'm trying to say.

Yep, yep. So yeah, that's how I would describe it. I do think it's all the events are a lot different. Like they're not so cross-fitting per se. All of them are, you're gonna see different elements. You're gonna see different things not so cross-fitting per se. All of them are, you're gonna see different elements, you're gonna see different things that you haven't seen implemented before. And I love that there's usually like

some sort of outdoor swim, run, something or other. Last year there was a kayak. So yeah, that's how I would describe it. It's like a local feel, but high level, which is awesome. Do you go by Elizabeth or Liz? I go by Liz, actually. Liz. And then it's Wish Heart, but not Wish Heart.

Wish Art. You know what? You can say it either way, but it's like pretend that there's two H's in there. It's Wish Heart. Oh, OK. OK. OK, I will.

All right. All right, good. All right. I was trying to show discipline last night when I was, because I kept will, okay, I will. All right, all right, good, all right. I was like trying to show discipline last night when I was, because I kept wanting to spell it Wishheart. And I'm like, that's it? It's Wishheart, because I was cruising around on YouTube

looking for videos of you, it's Wishheart. Have you ever done a podcast before? I've never done a podcast before, no. Yeah, that's a trip. Usually, for sure, there's these guys in the space, Clydesdale Media media Scott Switzer He's like gotten everyone and I thought for sure you would have done his podcast. I'm like wait I don't think this girl has ever done a podcast. No, it's my first time. This is it I

Last year I popped into the NorCal classic for just like an hour I just walked around and I thought wow, this is has a really good feeling. And then this week I was there for three days, four days. And I was there primarily following Colton, Tudor Magda and Taylor Self. And it felt just like the CrossFit Games in 2008 and 2009. I was like, wow, this is, this is really cool. I'm actually, I mean, although there were a lot of people there, I was actually surprised there weren't more spectators there because it is like the ultimate spectator event. Yeah.

All the athletes, you can see everything. I agree. And it's a the different part about it is, like I said, there's a bunch of different events. So it's not like you're just sitting in a stadium, like watching something all in that arena and the very controlled arena. Like everything's different. Everything's all the events move around.

You know what I mean? So yeah, I totally agree. And now you're going to crash. Yes. Yeah. That's my first time it crashed too. I've never been before, but I've heard so many good things about it That it's similar and that it's like a local feel but a lot of really good people I mean lots of really good girls are gonna be there

What are you what are you this is a really broad question? What are you doing? What are you doing? Like it what is Liz Doing with her CrossFit career. These are two big comps. Do you have any ambition or are you just like, obviously your job, which we'll get to, requires you to be in just phenomenal shape for your own safety and everyone's safety around you. But these are two like really big comps.

They're close together. Do you have, are you on a mission? You know, I would say so, yeah. I would actually describe it as a little bit of time off from doing CrossFit for a while. I did it competitively and I say kind of quote unquote competitively because I did it and I did some higher level competitions and this was like right when regionals was dying and then it transferred to sanctionals and I always would place like 20th like every time I every time I went to a competition I would place 20th and Or something like that, you know what I mean? And so I just didn't really I was like, okay well

I'm good enough to make it to these big comps and then just like not good enough to be like at the top so and then I kind of went into my career and I did that for a little bit. And I actually had a really bad knee injury. And then as I was coming back from it, I was like, man, I'm actually kind of not too bad at this stuff. You know, like maybe I could just keep going

and get really good. And then the next year I started getting a lot better and a lot better. And I was like, I want to make it to the games. I don't want to waste, you know, not waste, but spend, you know, eight years. I've been, I've been at this training pretty hard for like eight, nine years now. Like I don't want to put all that away and never even make it to the farthest stage. So that's my goal. And I think doing these off-season competitions especially, and just experiencing competition as much as I possibly can is what's going to get me there.

So would that get your start in CrossFit at 2016? I would say 2015 was my first open. So 2015. And then how long have you been doing CrossFit before your first open? Maybe two months, maybe a month. Wow. Not very long. It was really short, so. Kristi, hi.

Kristi Minato, new member. Awesome. Good to have you. Nice dog. Sleeping dog. And your vocation is, are you a firefighter? I am a firefighter, yeah. And how long have you been doing that?

I started that in 2020 is when I went through the academy. And that's, let me see, I saw a picture I think of you getting, and this is your graduation ceremony? That is, yeah, that is my graduation ceremony. Yep. Crazy. Well, congratulations and thank you. Thank you for the congratulations, but I love it. And I'm looking at this picture and I don't see... What's the difference between the dudes in the blue and the dudes in the red? Um, so all the guys in the blue are instructors and all of us in the red are recruits. So that's when we were in recruit school, they put you in a really bright t-shirt.

Um, but yes, we're, we're in the red. So all the recruits, all the people who were in my academy class are in the red t-shirts. And what state is that? Uh, this is an Indiana. We have a really big facility in Indiana. We're really lucky. It's called FDTN and they do a bunch of like really aggressive train, like fire training there. And our class got to do, um, a bunch of time there, which was awesome

because I didn't have any prior experience. So it was a really fun time. And I think that was our last day there. And Liz, why did you choose to become a firefighter? What was the inspiration for that? I never really thought about it until I graduated college and I kind of didn't really know what I wanted to do. I thought I wanted to work in the medical field.

And then I volunteered a little bit in a hospital and I decided I really didn't want to work in the medical field and then I volunteered a little bit in a hospital and I decided I really didn't want to work in the medical field and Then I met someone I actually met a woman who at the Granite Games I can't remember her name. I want to say her first name was Chelsea, but Anyway, she was oh she was on the team. Has she been around forever? She's been around forever She knew Ron Ortiz. Man, what was her name? Her last Brigsby, Grigsby. Yeah, yeah. She's something else. She's been around forever. I remember her at the Del Mar regional, I don't know, in

2012 or something. Yeah, she's really long time. But anyway, I got to talking to her and I don't remember why I never met her before. I was really, I kind of was like, I thought it was really cool because she was really good and at that time I was like, you know, like I said, I was always in the middle. I was towards the bottom and she talked to me about her job and how much she loved it and how much it just really flowed with her training and how just, it was, it was awesome and I started looking into it and I applied and I got on and I loved it so I got lucky that I liked it but yeah that's really why. Do you have siblings? I do I have two I have an older brother and a younger sister.

And how much older is your brother? He is one and a half years older than me. Okay so close so you spent time with him? He was a peer. Yeah, yeah, definitely. And so you know boys. Yes. Yeah. Because I'm looking at this picture and you're the only lady in the class. There's one other. I think she's next to me somewhere in the picture. But there is one other woman, there were only two of

us. So yeah, it was tough. It was hard. I really liked it though. I like a challenge. It was fun. God, I don't see her. She's in there. I know she is. I cannot look for her though. Oh, is that her in the back? Right? Is she wearing sunglasses? Yes, she's wearing sunglasses. And so is that scary? What do you do? You go online and you're like, and you fill out a form and boom, you're in you're in some sort of fire academy. What's the first step

to becoming a firefighter? Actually it's really difficult to get on because so many people apply and the process is really competitive and the way that they do it is very, I guess, specific is the word that I would use. You go through multiple different things. So you first take like a written test and then you go into like an oral exam and they'll ask you questions and you have to answer

and you have like a certain time limit to answer. And then you usually have some sort of like physical test and it's pass fail. And then I think there's one more step towards the end where they do like a psych evaluation and then you get on. But through all those steps, it's really competitive. So I- So the application process is written, oral, physical, and are you bat shit crazy?

Correct. And God, and that's just the application. That's just, yeah, that's application. And then, and then you, um, they basically, usually they make a list based off of that. And if you're at the top of their list and they're hiring a certain amount of people, then you get on. And if a year down the road, they decide to hire a few more people and they still have the same list, then they'll hire you up the same list. So you could go like a year or two and after applying and still be waiting to get a job

and then all of a sudden get a call and they're like, hey, you want to come work for our department? So when you apply, then even if I'm understanding, if I'm hearing you right the nuance there is once you apply If they accept you into the academy that kind of means you also got the job They're not gonna invest in you to go into the academy. Oh, yeah. Yeah, there's so the Academy is attached well, at least for me our Academy is it's attached to the Hiring process. So like, as soon as you're hired, that's when you get into the academy.

It's like you're hired and you're into the academy versus the other way around. Yeah, I don't know how it is in California, but the boys, I have three little boys and the boys skateboarding coach, he went to the fire academy in San Jose, graduated top, very top of his class. And then when he got out, he didn't have a job. He had to go fire Academy in San Jose, graduated top, very top of his class. And then when he got out, he didn't have a job.

He had to go to a volunteer fire department, like 60 miles away, just to start building his resume. Ah, so that might be totally different. So the way that they did it with us was the Academy was like all of the people in my class in the Academy are at my department now. If that makes sense. Oh, wow. Wow. Yeah. Like everybody, they, they put on our academy versus what you're talking about is he went to the academy graduated top of his class, which was awesome.

I'm sure. And then he used that to get on at departments, but the way that they do it here is, is you have to be in an academy through your department. Okay. It's a, sorry, sorry, say that again. So if it was, so it sounds like he put himself through an academy that was separate of a department, so he'd probably have to do another one when he got on.

Or I don't know how it would work. In California, it's probably different. Did anyone in your class not make it? Yes. Yeah. So that is also part of the application process. That's like the final, the Academy kind of is the final run of the application process. Yeah. There are two people, three people who didn't make it and just... Exactly, that's like the final little part. And then you're on a probation for a year or two So after that you still aren't like free and clear, you know what I mean?

How long is this this portion right here where you're just do you see these guys? Is this every single day for six months that you're with these dudes yeah yeah so we started i think in march and we finished in september so yeah six months yeah every day like a regular 40 hour work week look it looks like we have a little psa uh read dough uh the other day i was showing people my Amazon subscriptions and I and I showed that I use drops there are these pods that My wife uses because she doesn't want me using Tide Pods Sevan stop using drops laundry pods the coating and the PVA plastic try blue land laundry products instead if you want to

East ease of a pod like tablet. Sorry for the off topic comment. Joke. All right. All right. I'll tell my wife. All right. I'll get back to you. Do Tide Pods have PVA? I don't even know what PVA is. What is bad about Tide Pods? I'm sure they're terrible. So. I think that there's something in there that is bad for your hormones like they somehow There's there's you know, there's all these chemicals now that are getting tons of attention that are bad for your hormones And I have three little boys and so I'm sure it has to do with that. I always

Justified that I use a triple rinse, you know, like I'll do the wash and that rinse button like three times But my wife's made a lot of good choices for the family Yeah, I just I just like, you know, she does all the research and shit and I just kind of like alright. Yes, ma'am Okay, cool. I'll worry about like watering the fruit. I'll worry about the fruit trees that in the backyard You worry about the chemicals that our boys are getting. And what was it like? I don't wanna ask the question in the... What did you do before?

So what was your job before? So before, while I was in college I bartended and then after I got out of college I looked at a bunch of jobs. I graduated with a degree in exercise science and nutrition and I minored in health promotion and I couldn't find anything that paid me more than like nine dollars an hour for a bachelor's degree and I didn't wasn't really interested in right then going to get a master's degree because I just I wanted to be out of school for a little bit and so I just kept bartending and then eventually I got I felt like that was a dead end so I started trying to work in fitness and so right before I

got hired I was working full time as like a cross, I worked at two different CrossFit gyms, I worked at like a ninja style training gym and I worked at an F45. Wow. And it was, I was not a fan. It was terrible. It was really hard. Not hard but time consuming. Did you have all four of those jobs simultaneously? Yeah, I was coaching at all four gyms because I wanted to fill up. I wanted to get as close as I could to like a regular work schedule,

if that makes sense, because I would just coach like majority of classes here, majority of classes here, majority of classes here. But it turns into like, you're basically just working anytime someone isn't at work. And most of the time I would work on Sundays and stuff like that too. So not, not a fan. My wife kind of had a job like that. She was a yoga instructor and basically, you know, she had a job at like the, at San Quentin,

and then she had another job at a juvenile facility. And then she had it like at a, like a high end yoga center. And basically I felt bad for it because I felt like her job was mostly driving. Yeah you're just driving around to different places and you're really not making that much you know at each place but you're you're tying it all together to try to make it work and it was just it wasn't it wasn't ideal for a long term but I got lucky and I got hired so and the the when you a bartending job is dealing with a lot of men, too Yeah, yeah, I mean I would say a mixture. I worked at a restaurant for the majority of it

So it was it was definitely more of a mixture. But yeah that too. Were you good at your job as a bartender? Yeah, I really I really liked it. I really enjoyed it. I liked talking to people And that was another reason that I didn't like coaching as much as I thought that I would I really liked it. I really enjoyed it. I liked talking to people. And that was another reason that I didn't like coaching as much as I thought that I would. I really liked hustling too. I liked managing 15 things at one time and then just coming in and talking to a bunch of people at one time and having to do a lot of things and think through it and your brain's just off and you're just trying to do like a million things at once. I liked it and then all of a sudden it was over every night. So I like that part of it. I have this friend who works at a restaurant and they were telling me that they can spot

a client who's a good tipper and not a good tipper and that if they spot something they profile the people. Absolutely. But- For a mile away. Oh, you really can't, but do you still, I mean, I wouldn't say a mile away, but like you, you could, I feel that most of the time, once you get used to like, um, working in that environment, like you can, you will feel for it, right? Yeah. Just like anything.

You still be nice. Like I, I was a checker for two years and my favorite part about the job was just being nice to people. Like I just really enjoyed, like it was a win if someone came and they were an asshole to you and you could crack them. Cause you had like two minutes.

Yeah. It was before and I had to punch in all the numbers. It was back in the day, I was like 16. And so it was before they had scanners. So I had to punch in every, every price of everything on the little keypad. Would you be nice to everyone? Or if you profiled someone as a shitty tipper, would you just write them off? Oh, no, I love being nice to everyone. Because something that was like a really fun challenges if you really did, I mean, I would say you profile like you could tell when people were

good tippers versus just like normal, you know what I mean? But I, I would say you profile like you could tell when people were good tippers versus just like normal, you know what I mean? But I liked the challenge, it was fun. Like sometimes you would think that maybe someone wouldn't tip you as much and then you really do your best and they completely change your mind, you know what I mean? So that, and that happened too, like more often than you think it would.

So I love that part of it, that's a good point And um, and would there be is there a direct correlation between how much people drink and how much people tip? Absolutely most of the time. Yeah. Yeah Three drinks your one drink you're at 15% every drink after that the tips going up 2% It helps I would say it helps people are more relaxed and people like you know, if something takes a little longer than it should because the kitchen is backed up or whatever, like people don't notice, you know, so you're just more relaxed in general, I would say. Yeah, I, I think you I think it would be so easy to do that job, but I'm just

blown away at how many people fuck it up like people just want to be acknowledged Right like every time you walk by their table your foods coming like How are you? Hi? Just people yeah, just If you're nice to them then I'm sorry I didn't mean to say the word Okay I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say the word F. That's okay, you can still set it up, it's fine. Okay, most of the time, if you mess it up really bad and you're really nice to them, like it's okay. You know what I mean?

If you're just like nice and you are communicating with them the whole time, it's not a big deal. If you're not nice to them, then probably the odds of it happening are low. It's that simple. Yeah, totally. Yeah, if you're exactly, no one minds waiting at a restaurant for 20 minutes if every 5 minutes the hostess is like, Hey, I see you. Just so you know, I see you.

Yeah, you're talking to them and you're like, I'm not... And you get your kids some crayons or anything. Yeah, yeah. Just pay attention to what they need. Or what you can do for them at that time, you know what I mean? I used to go to breakfast places a lot. I don't do that anymore, but I used to go like every single morning almost with work and I realized I noticed that if they gave me coffee right away, I was cool. If they just acknowledge that you're in there, right? Like at least say hi, like even if they just yeah. in there right like at least say hi like even if they just yeah. Seve would even be nice to churchy cunts that you know aren't tipping. I would be

nice to everyone. I wouldn't even care. I wouldn't even care. I mean I would care. I would be excited when I got tips. I used to park cars too and that was the whole thing. Just be super nice to just go the extra mile. I mean that's why you're there. Yeah and you want to make sure that they know that you're providing them a service too. You know, like if you're just like acting like it's no big deal that you're there, you know, or not no big deal, but you know, you're just kind of being very nonchalant and not really talking to them. Then are you really providing them the same service? Yeah. And all my problems would go away because I'm servicing someone else.

Yeah. So you go to this you go to this academy and I'm assuming that the it's when I think of an academy, how much of it is sitting that classroom and how much is physical? Because obviously the picture just makes it look like it's like predominantly physical. So they they break it into multiple parts. So not only are you going for like the physical part, right? But you also have to sit in a lecture a lot of the time, some of the time, I would say. And

we also did our EMT course at the same time too. So like we had to go in for classes for that every day. And for the first like, I think six or so weeks, six to eight weeks, we were in an EMT class. And then after that, it gets more physical? After that is when it gets more physical and we're outside, like I would say every day and then towards the like the last two months or so, I think it was two months, we're outside like every day.

Like that picture was at the training camp we went to and with the training facility we went to and we were there for 20 days, I think. So, but that's Monday through Friday. So it was like split into however many, four weeks. So the last month and everything we're outside and burning for like the whole day. We get there seven, I believe around four.

Did you say burning? Like you're doing like fire type scenarios the whole day. And learning too, like you're learning a bunch of stuff. But everything is like real and you can like they have real fire the whole time and that's why that facility is so cool because they're You're like legitimately doing your job over and over again Just like you would in an office job if you were learning how to do whatever you do on the computer You know, you're just doing repetitions over and over again

Did you did you during the Academy? Did you ever hit any walls where you're like, man, I don't know if I'm going to make it. There was there was a there was one time and there was something that was really, really difficult for me to do because I weigh 140 pounds. And I'm the you know, I was probably I was the smallest person there. And we were moving like a really heavy hose and it was really hard for me. And I remember going home and thinking like, I was frustrated, but the next day I came in and I was excited to be there. So I wasn't gonna quit. The boys skate instructor is not a big guy either. I'd say at most he weighs 160 and he's in phenomenal shape.

Not as good a shape as you're in, but I mean, he looks like a piece of steel and he's a former professional athlete. He moves incredible. But he said that too. I'm trying to think what I think there were two things that he said were just insane that he had to do carrying maybe a dummy down a ladder. And then maybe drag and then maybe like dragging a dummy. And he said it was he said it was crazy because he said there would be big men there like 250 pound men, young men and he's this guy he said it was crazy because he said there would be big men there like 250 pound men

Young men and he's this guy's older. He was like for the Academy. I want to say he was like 37 He said there were young just giant guys there who just moved it like it was nothing Absolutely. And I mean, it's like it's it's like a give-and-take. I mean almost like Just the same way it is in CrossFit where it's like Well, the big guys are going to be able to move the really heavy dummies or the really heavy people, you know what I mean? Because most of the time you come across someone who's going to be a heavy person. They're going to be able to move the heavy people like really well, right? And they're going

to be able to swing an axe or like, you know, carry really heavy stuff really well, way better than I can. But I also can go a lot longer. I can fit in a lot smaller spaces. I can last on air for a lot longer. So it's just like a give and take. It's like everybody does a really good job of fitting together.

So that's where the whole team aspect comes in is as part of the job because you all get the job done together, you know what I mean? So just a question. When you show up there, I have to assume, just based on just the genetic makeup of who we are as creatures, you being a woman,

and then these guys being men, there's a presupposition that you're gonna be the weak link in the class Obviously that you know that we know that that's not necessarily true amongst CrossFitters at all Did you feel do you feel any of that from the instructors or your cohort? No, I really wouldn't say that I I don't think that I do think that that I mean This is just as humans like because I am like I was a minority if if you will in the class like there's gonna be more of

a stereotype towards me versus everybody else because like you know we're human right and I'm smaller and I'm not like a big person so how are you what what's that how tall are you I'm's that? How tall are you? I'm 5'8". So I'm actually not like, I'm not short. I'm actually for CrossFit, I'm quite tall. Everybody thinks that I'm really tall, which is funny. Cause I'm, you know what I mean?

I'm not, I'm not six feet tall, but comparatively to a lot of the girls in CrossFit, I am significantly taller and smaller, but you know, we're working on it. So, but yeah, I mean, I think that there's like some general stereotypes that they have, but no, actually I was really lucky to have a class and instructors who treated me just the same,

absolutely the same as everybody else, which I really appreciated. And you're gonna come across that in the job anyway, but specifically in the academy and with the instructors, I was really lucky. And in having you there and just how physically capable you are, they must have been, your peers must have been shocked

and your instructor shocked, I'm guessing, cause there's some things that it's like, what the fuck? Because I'm sure there were some things you finished top of your class. And they and they would they're impressed by anyone who finishes the top of their class, but let alone a woman. I think that there were there were some times, especially at the beginning when we did like the physical testing, I did really well. On the we did, you know, strict pull up very, very basic testing, very basic physical testing, we did, you know, strict pull-up,

very, very basic testing, very basic physical testing. We did strict pull-ups, we did like a push-up test, and we did a running test, and I did really well. I think I finished first in both the push-ups and the pull-ups, and not too bad in the running either. So that went really well, yeah. And I didn't look like, I suppose, I guess that you should phrase it,

it wasn't expected that way. So yeah, and I didn't do too bad, you know, dragging really heavy people, not as good as the biggest people, but I definitely wasn't bad at it. So there were some things I struggled with though. And now are you at a, I don't know what it's called, are you at a firehouse? Do you have a place that's like your home, like place you go and you have a bed there and that's your truck and those are your teammates and you go to work every day and that's your job? I do. Yeah,

I have a bid spot. I've had a bid spot for about three years We got really lucky because when we came on there were a lot of open spots So we ended up being able to bid pretty early but I'm at I'm at a house that I really like and yeah, I have my own spot and It's really nice. I have a crew Yeah, that's awesome. And um, and you've been there three years. Do you how quickly do firefighters get promoted? And you've been there three years. How quickly do firefighters get promoted? I think our rule, I think it's five years you can promote to lieutenant.

Yeah, five years to lieutenant and then a couple of years after that, you can promote to captain. So after about five years, you can start getting to that point where you can be promoted to. Hey, can you hear me? I can't hear you, yeah. I can't see you, but I can hear you.

Did you see what the screen said? It said battery exhausted. Hold on. Let me see what is going on here. OK, OK. This isn't good. OK, we'll use an ask camera today. There you go. Yeah, I apologize. That's OK. Wow, I look red. You look different. Yeah,

oh my goodness. Okay. Yeah. All right. I've been fake baking. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, do you think you made the right choice? Are you happy with the, with the choice you made for firefighter? Yeah. Firefighter, not, not going into the the choice you made? For firefighter? Yeah, firefighter not not going into the like a hospital and being a firefighter. I'm very happy with the choice I made. I'm my schedule is amazing and it lets me do CrossFit which I really love and it lets me have a lot of free time to travel and do whatever I want to do. It's amazing. It's a really fun. Yeah, I see you travel a lot with your is that your boyfriend or your husband? Boyfriend. Yeah. I see you travel a lot with him. That's really cool. Yeah, we love it. And we have a little van we travel with and it's really

fun. Yeah, I saw that too. You're man you're living the dream. You know. Hey, um, this is actually my favorite picture. It's funny. Do you watch the UFC? I have yeah Well, there was a guy fighting this weekend poet on and you were wearing a tracksuit And I was like, oh god, I gotta get track It's so hard finding tracksuits for kids like cool ones. You should look for one because it's worth it It was so fun. He was so excited when I got him for because it's worth it. It was so fun He was so excited when I got him for him. Oh my god. That is so awesome I want my sons to I dress my sons all exactly the same Yeah, all of them the same I put him I mean slightly different colors

yeah, right our guile sweaters and and these little tiny wife beaters underneath and and I dress them like that every morning they have to leave the house like that and I saw this tracksuit you know the only time I've ever seen tracksuits is when I was in Harlem and I was in Harlem this is maybe 20 years ago and I went into a store and all they sold were tracksuits I'm like we don't have anything like this in California. Excellent. Did you order this on Amazon? I know actually these are Nike. I got these on Nike.com and I had to scavenge to find this color because this is the color I really wanted. And it was totally worth it. He was so psyched.

And now I have two different colors of this same tracksuit because I like it so much. But yeah, yeah, it's great. We wear it and then now we can wear it in public and everyone will know that we're matching. Yeah, that's awesome. There were a couple of couples in high school that did that too. The boyfriend and girlfriend always wore the same tracksuit. Yeah, matching tracksuits. It's coming back. It's like the 90s photo shoots your mom made you do.

Is he a firefighter? He is a firefighter, too. Yeah. Did you guys meet? That's how we met. Yep. He was in the same academy class as me. Wow. Yeah. Hey, that's got to be a crazy courtship

process. Yeah. When there's 20 other dudes around, you've got to be careful, right? Because, yeah. I mean, obviously obviously you're like top of the food chain woman. You're smart, you're beautiful, you're strong, you're driven. And so it's like, it's not like you're going to be unaccustomed to being a good catch. You know what I mean?

You have your shit together. That must have been crazy. How did he do that? How did he court you with all? Did you court him or did he court you? I would say it was a mixture. Man. Yeah. He's amazing though. Did he play hard to get? He didn't play hard to get, but he is also top of the food chain, so it wasn't a hard

decision. Yeah, I know, but there's so many choices. Yeah. I mean, it's your druthers, right? It's like, okay, there's 30 dudes here and me. You know what I mean? It's like, it's kind of crazy. I would think that that would be just the craziest place

Like if I was there, I would completely ignore the girl because I would be overcompensating For not wanting to Cramp her style. Do you know what I mean? Yeah Yeah, even if I wanted to I would be fucking completely freaked out That I was gonna like send the wrong signal. Yeah, it was an experience to say the least to be the minority in that situation.

And did you know right away, did you know like the first week you saw him and you're like, yep, that's the dude. I liked him a lot. Yeah. Just everything about him, the way he interacted with other people, the way he carried himself, the way he looked, you're like, fuck. Absolutely.

Yeah. And imagine that even being able to stand out in that group with all those other guys. He is top of the food chain for sure. That's awesome. And he graduated too? Yeah he did. He actually was at a different department for a long time too so he had a lot of experience before we even got there. He transferred from a different department and he was there for 10 plus years, so he knew what he was doing when we were in the academy. So if you're a firefighter somewhere else and then you come to your department, you got to go through that again?

Yeah, most of the time. It just depends. So sometimes you can come in and do like a lateral transfer where you just move over and they don't make you do an academy or they make you do a shorter one, but in our case, they made us all go through the academy regardless of prior experience. And is he a CrossFitter? No, actually, he used to he was a wrestler, he wrestled for Purdue. Okay, he is top of the food chain. So he really is top of the food chain. Yeah, yeah, he really is and then uh, he did bought UFC For a few years too. Oh, wow. Yeah, he's

he's Awesome. Wow. Congratulations. Great catch Yeah, thanks. Thank you So it's kind of it is so it's too very driven, not afraid of discomfort. People you found your match. Absolutely very, very passionate people for sure. Intense people. Where were you born? What state were you born? I was born in Indianapolis. Is he an Indiana guy too? He is not he is from East Chicago So he is from like almost I think East Chicago is still continued it's it's Indiana

But it's like right on the line Or it's right, but it's not quite Illinois And and if he if it obviously he wrestled and he was in the UFC, he's not unfamiliar with high intensity training? No, no. He actually he'll jump in, he's jumped in and done CrossFit too. He said he always says he dabbles. He did CrossFit for a short time. He's done a lot of different things because he said now he'sbles. He did cross it for a short time. He's done a lot of different things because he said now he's spent a lot of time, a lot of his life in a gym and now he just enjoys working out so he just kind of does whatever.

But yeah, he's no stranger to any sort of anything, especially with wrestling. They have to be the jack of all trades with everything. Hey, why did he switch departments why did he switch from where he was for ten years to another fire area the one that he was at before was a little bit smaller it was more like a suburb of Indianapolis and then now we work in like Indianapolis like we actually work in the city we're in a we're technically a township but it's like inner city Indianapolis so it was just busier it It pays more better

benefits more, more fire too. So you get more action, you know? Do you guys try to stay on the same schedule? Always? Yeah. We're on the same shift and we have the same day off. They call it a Kelly day. So like every time I would be scheduled to work a Thursday, I'm off. So you'll have like five days off in a row. And so we have the same day that we're, we have that too. So our schedule is always the same. And you're at the same house, Firehouse? No, we're not at the same Firehouse. We, he, he works like a mile down the road. So we go on runs together every once in a while. And it's, oh, so you'll show up there and he'll be there or yeah oh that's

yeah and he works on a ladder truck and i work on an engine so still a little bit different but that's like uh when your best friend's in the other class in the second grade and then you get to go to a movie day and they bring the classes together and you're like yeah and you run over that is so awesome oh my god you're having so much fun. How cool and And you don't have kids I Do not know so you guys when you're off you guys can jump in the van and go Most of the time. Yeah, he he has kids. So You know our schedules can be and you know, they can get conflicted and also now just train so much. So most of the time we did like schedule time off, but,

but yeah, it is a lot easier, especially with our schedule and his kids are old enough that they're in school. So it's pretty open. The prize at NorCal Classic was big, right? It was really big, especially for like a local, not local, but you know, something that was more low-key let me say it like that. Was it 25,000? It was 25,000 yeah. Yeah were you tripping like when you're like you're going to the airport and you're like what the fuck I got 25 grand? I you know I really not planned

that's not the right way to say it. My intention was to win and I think that that's important because you know when you go to something I I never I feel like that's what I struggled with the most early on in my CrossFit career is that You know, my intention was never to win. My intention was to just go and compete, right? But this time like around I want my intention to always be like, no, I want to win I don't want to get second. I don't want to get third. I don't want to, you know, like, I don't want to just be there for fun. I want to go and have a plan. Right.

Um, and, uh, it wasn't really real until yeah, I got to the airport and I was like, what now, you know, so that was really awesome. And, um, so, so how close was it? Were you losing going into the final? Were you in second place going into the final event? I was. I was in second place going to the final event and I think I was still quite a ways, not quite a ways, but I was like, I want to say over maybe 10 points at least behind Trista and after the set so the first day Is that three people if you're 10 points behind you need two or three people to get between you and her? I think I think that was what it was I think I needed two people to get in between me and her and And I wasn't sure how it was gonna turn out

But I knew that I was the last event was gonna be really good for me So I was excited and I was just ready to be focused and just do everything that I could because, you know, even if I do the best and I won the event and then not enough people were between us, then it wouldn't have mattered, you know? So, yeah. And you say, you know, it would be good for you,

but you have to assume also it would be good for her. She looks like she can do thrusters and we know she's great with her gymnastics. Absolutely. She looks very powerful. And then you get out there on the floor and it was hot as it was. It was crazy hot, right? It was really hot. Like, I mean, it was so hot that it burned. Like I had blisters for that next week. It was, it was hard for me to train because I had blisters all the way across my hands, not from like doing gymnastics or anything. But from

like the heat of the bar actually burning my hand. I want to say it was over 100 degrees on I mean, it was over 100 degrees that day. I'm guessing on the floor with the heat rating up from the bottom, I bet you the floor was over 130. And then you so you guys go out there. What do you do when you know it's going to be that hot and it's going to be just a brutal workout? Do you do you drink like a pint of water or like what do you do to do something to get ready for that?

So actually, because I live in Indianapolis and the humidity is so high, our AC had been broken at our gym for maybe like, I don't know, it's been broken a long time, but we had just had a heatwave go through and it was like 95 in the gym with like a ridiculously high humidity every single day. So everyone at the competition had talked all weekend about how hot it was and like how people were passing out and ambulances and all this stuff. And I just, I thought it was really comfortable. I didn't think it was really that hot outside. The only thing that bothered me was that the bars were so hot.

It actually wasn't the heat that was really a problem. And the only difference that I did, I drank a lot of water and I do electrolytes, but I do that anyway. And I just put on a t-shirt. I couldn't believe there were some girls who went out there and just had like a sports bra on. And I'm sure they have like a burnt line across their chest

from how hot the bar was. Cause you know how the knurling is, like the chalk wasn't a lot of the knurling and it wasn't so hot, but like the middle part of the bar where there's no knurling, it was like a frying pan. I could feel it through my shirt.

So that's really all I did. I put on a t-shirt and was really excited and ready to go. Yeah, in the warmup area, Taylor, when he was warming up, he was pouring water on his bar so that he could grab it. And it was coming off of it. And he said it didn't even matter. He said the water didn't even cool the bar down at all. He said it was so.

No, so that's why I thought it was wild that people were just putting that on their skin when we went out there. So. And so it was, the workout was basically, it was some form of Cal-Su? It was it was thrusters. What was your weight? Was your weight 95 pounds?

I think yeah, our weight was 95 pounds. It was Cal SU, which I've never done before. Is that I think it's a benchmark workout. Is it a benchmark? I think so. Or if it's not, it's like it's kind of it's close. Yeah. But I don't know how the original Cal SU goes, but basically every,

I think it's with burpees, but we did it with ring muscle ups, which actually, I think made it easier, um, in, in some ways, you know what I mean? So the easy about it, but, um, you did, it was just a hundred dusters for time. But every minute you had to stop, including the first minute and do, uh, three ring muscle ups, and then they decreased it after three minutes and then after five minutes And when you're are you in the in you're in the final heat? Correct. Yep. We're right in the middle in the final heat and was Trista right next to you. Yes, and Do you remember?

She had it. She had an event right basically she had to be carried. I think I remember seeing people like a sister off the floor, right? I wasn't sure. I didn't know if there was something wrong or not. She seemed fine throughout the event. I didn't see anything, but I didn't see her at the end because I was laying on the floor dying. Did they come over?

I noticed that when people laid on the floor afterwards, they'd rush over and tell you to get up and get off the floor because the floor was so hot did they tell you that too? They didn't tell me that they actually I think they said that the men were coming out shortly So we needed to move but I laid there for a minute and then I could get up and walk around but but it was it was a It was it was warm on the ground. I will say I wasn't bothered by the heat Like I said, but I mean once we stopped and you really felt how warm It is like right in the Sun. It was hot

um, I Saw I can't remember where but at some number I want to say she was around 40 I saw her walking back to her rings and she looked like she like a fighter who was stumbling Like who had been punched in the face like she was she was not moving right if You're not used to the heat. It is like It is no joke. It's being that hot and being under that much stress and pressure and your Adrenaline is spiked so high because you're about to start an event and it's the last one it's

It's a lot of physical stress on your body, you know And then there was another girl there, I can't remember her name. She's a really pretty Asian girl from CrossFit Invictus. I want to say her first name is Emily. She's an Asian girl. But I saw she came over. She just came running after the event. She basically stumbled into the crowd and landed in a lawn chair and

put a shirt over her head and she was writhing. Yeah. And I ran over and got her a water. And when she took the water, she didn't even, she didn't, she couldn't even see who gave her the water. You know what I mean? She was just fucked up. She was, I kind of, I mean, I like it.

I like to see the athletes push themselves like that. I kind of I mean, I like it. I like to see the athletes push themselves like that I like that. Well, I like that and that's another thing about NorCal That's like really fun that I actually like there's an element and I know that you know CrossFit's like founded on being like variable and or constantly varied I suppose and I think that there's a variable in there that we don't really test as much which is Like I guess it wouldn't be called the element of surprise, but I would say the element of discomfort and that that meaning Not every event was in like an air-conditioned Facility with like your very specific lanes and like a level floor and no dirt and no Sun and like you know What I mean, there's no other elements no sun. And like, you know what I mean?

There's no other elements, right? Whereas like at NorCal, like everything was like a lot. I wouldn't say everything is uncontrolled, but there was a lot more elements that were like more of a test, right? Like there was the heat, right? And there was the sun. And there was events where we didn't have our own lane.

We had to run out and choose our own lane. There was sand and there was dirt. And sometimes like in certain lanes, like the ground was uneven. And I just think that those are like elements where you have to be smarter. You have to like prepare yourself differently. You have to like just do a lot more thinking

and be comfortable being uncomfortable in a different way. And I appreciate that. I thought it was cool. Yeah. There's a little more fight in it was cool. Yeah. Um, there's a little more, uh, fight in it. Yes. Yeah. It's not just like, I'm just going to go work out in front of people. You know what I mean? Yeah. So, um,

so when you're out there and you're doing, uh, that version of Cal SU, um, do you, is she, is she in the lane next to you? She is right. Right next to you. Trista or Emily. Uh, Trista Trista was lane next to you? She is right right next to you Trista or Emily? Trista Trista was right next to me. Yep. And so do you see do you see yourself past her and get motivated by like that? By that do you see you're ahead of her? Do you know are you watching her? I Was not at the beginning because I couldn't quite hear her judge. In fact, it was hard for me to hear my judge and I didn't really know where she hear my judge. And I didn't really know where she was at the beginning. And I didn't really want to because I knew that

that workout wasn't going to get real until like, minute seven, you know, like, and, you know, really, really uncomfortable. I did hear myself pass her sometime around then. And then I just went. And another part of it was because Carolyn Provost was on the other side of me and I knew that she was she's like excellent at anything with thrusters right good at everything anyway very yeah she's extremely athletic very good at thrusters she's smart she's fast so and last year we had a very we had a thruster event for the last event too and she just barely beat me.

So I knew that she was, me and her were gonna be very close. And then when I started being able to hear that she was one rep ahead of me, that's when I really tried to speed up. And I just got lucky because she got no rep down a few, and I didn't get no rep down any zero. And so that's really ultimately why I ended up in front of her. It's just that she got no rep a few times and I didn't I

Think I'm characterizing this right, but I remember I'm speaking with Tudor and Taylor and Colton afterwards and Basically all of their plans went to shit quickly. Yes, they have these plans how they were gonna do stuff And they were all like dude at like after the first round. It was like oh shit This is this is not even going to go even close according to plan. Did that happen to you also? Yes. So originally, I was thinking I was going to go out there, do 12 a minute, and I for

sure thought we were going to finish it. I was like, oh, we're definitely going to finish it. Everybody's going to finish it, right? Yeah, no. No. That changed within. I think after the first set, I was like, all right, well, everybody's going to finish it. Right. Uh, yeah, no, no, that changed within. I think that was the first time I was like, all right, well I'm going to do eight. Um, so we're going to go from there. I think Colton Mertens was the only person out of whatever 500 athletes or 800

athletes. Yeah. And we were, I think me and Carolyn got to like 91 or 2 So we were close but if you think about it like we were at 91 or 2 but like we would still need either it probably at least two more minutes to finish it because we would have to do the ring muscle up buy-in and we did a bunch in the very last set so like We we'd need another minute at least to finish it. So Colton it was super impressive that he finished it I mean, I'm not surprised at all. He's Very very good. Yeah, he's a freak. Absolutely. Um, so

Yeah, no, my plan is absolutely His mindset seems um Like on a whole nother level He Yeah, I like it too you do like it. Yes, I like it. I think it's just a lot more, um, a lot less thinking and a lot more just like pure focus, but in a different way, you know what I mean? I think I think he uses his mind to strategize as

opposed to complain meaning yeah I think he's the kind of person who like no matter what he thinks about the workout he knows it's not in his control I never hear him worried about what the workout is or how many are concerned about the program and he's more like concerned about latent placement where his chalk's gonna be how he's gonna cycle it you know what I mean and he's more like concerned about latent placement, where his chalk is going to be, how he's going to cycle it. You know what I mean? Like he's like very logical. Yes. Yes. All about doing like it doesn't matter what like nothing's good. I just feel like from what I've heard and read, it's like he he can take a workout and not think about all the things that he can't control and just

only think about things that he can control and not think about them emotionally either, which is really important because like some people can think about it like, okay, these are the things I can control. Oh my gosh, I'm so worried about this or worried about that. Like what happens if this happens? You know what I mean? What happens if that happens? And instead he's just like very logical, like not emotional about it.

And it's just ready to go and do the best that he can. That's all you can do, right? I think what we've seen in the last year too is he's added fun to it. He looks like he's having fun now. Yeah. I think it just adds a whole other element to it, which is why we... Sometimes it's hard to remember that's why we do all this stuff.

Like that's why, that's why you do this. Right? Right? Question mark. Was your boyfriend there? He was. Yeah. He was in a, yep.

He was there the whole time. Does he get worried for you? I mean, I know he's a UFC fighter, so he's probably been surrounded by people who've been worried about him, but does he ever get worried for you? I would say he is like my biggest cheerleader. I would say worried isn't the right word, but he's constantly pushing me in a good way. He's constantly like, don't let the negative win. He's helped me a ridiculous amount mindset wise

because for a long time I was so, I think that part of the reason that I never did as well as I wanted to is because I do tend to be like more of a negative person and he is just like super positive and very focused on like controlling what you're thinking all the time, like even if it's hard, you know? So no, he, I wouldn't say that he is worried for me I would say that he is my confidence booster a lot. So he believes in you very much. So yeah

Yeah, that's crazy. That that that's the greatest gift. My wife gives me She my wife believes in me and I feel it and I and I feel it right and so that is like a whole different level of Support And I and I feel it right and so that is like a whole different level of Support Yeah, it's it's it's um, it's a trip to me that some people make it as far as they do in life without someone who believes in them or with someone who maybe holds them back and It's like wow. How did you make it this far with that person? and you don't really realize it until you have someone who really pushes you that way and And supports you that way and you're like

Wow, like that. Yeah that really changed How I performed or how I did this or you know? Yeah, Liz, what what do you think? What do you think are the factors that take you from who you were two years ago in the sport to who you are now, this part that's got you on top of a podium as opposed to 20th? Oh, mindset. Really? I mean, and not to say that like training isn't a big part of it, but I mean, there was like so many times that I look back and I look at like different numbers that I was hitting or like different times that I, that I finished on a benchmark or whatever, like, you know, four or five years ago and they're better than now.

Like that, and I'm not, I'm not shockingly better than I was before. You know what I mean? Like as far as like numbers go, I would say that like my performance at events is totally different, totally different. Like how I approach events, how I think about things like, and it's taken work and it's taken time that I had to put in and that's something that he helped me so much with.

But yeah, I would say mindset, absolutely. You can be really good at training in a gym. Like everybody should be good at training in the gym but like that's not what you're testing when you go out there. Like you're not just testing like how good you are at working out. You're doing so much more and you have to have this like competitive mindset while you're doing it and you have to know that you can do it and that you can be positive about it and you don't have those negative things going through your mind and that's

how you're going to get to the top versus just like middle of the path. Like that calc workout if you had done that two or three years ago what do you think would have happened? Uh you mean if I had done it in a competition or if I had done it in a competition? I think I would have probably like got out really really really fast. I used to for a long time, like towards the end of the weekend, I would always die because I never ate enough throughout the weekend. That was another big part of things. I never really like thought about how things would like, I didn't put enough thought into the weekend. That was another part of it. So I wouldn't eat enough or I wouldn't drink enough. And so by the

time that I got to the last event, I was just like half dead. And I just like would kind of talk myself into saying, you know, oh, I know that Carolyn is like really good at thrusters. So she's probably going to beat me anyway. So I'll probably just plan on getting like third, you know what I mean? Or like, you know, I'm just gonna try my best but that's really just a cop out to say like, I'm not gonna try as hard as I could or I'm not gonna like push myself, you know what I mean? As much as I can, I'm not gonna go out and my boyfriend says all the time like you can't just like expect to win because you're good, you have to go out and take it. Like all these other people are going and trying to take a win, right? You have to go out and take it. And I feel like that's what's different. Like you can't just

like go out there and work out. You have to push a lot harder than that. That's so interesting. When I see my boys compete, you can see there are kids out there, whether it's tennis or jiu-jitsu or skateboarding or whatever. They just go out there They're all it's interesting to that. He was in the UFC because in the UFC people play don't play defense That's what makes that kind of level the next level by play defense I mean both guys are out there from the beginning trying to take that take it Where's you go to it? You go to a jujitsu tournament and if one guy's really aggressive

even though if he's not the best the other guy will Like play off of him and only go to the level that his competitors at instead of just take it that Yeah, that's awesome that he gives you that do you think he you think you can teach someone that I? Think that I think that the best people I mean this is just how it is and probably all sports But I think that the best people the aliens the people who are just the best at the sport, I think that it comes more naturally along with, you know, like other things coming more naturally, right? I think that you can learn it to a point, but I think the people who are going to be

the most successful are people who it comes more naturally to. Yeah. Like, like in the UFC, even the guy who's on his back is attacking from his back. Like he doesn't care. He's just always attacking guy who's on his back is attacking from his back like he doesn't care He's always attacking. He's attacking. He's attacking. Yeah, and then the second you see someone not attacking, you know, they're fucked Absolutely because you know that they're just like, you know what? It's okay. I'll just you know, like they're giving it up They're not taking it anymore. They're just like they're letting it go Which is important even if you're not in a contact sport, you know, and I know that CrossFit is very far

from contact sport, but yeah, it's just, it's a better mindset for me that's helped me a lot. What about the run at NorCal? Anything weird happen on that with you? I know listening to the boys talk that some people ran off course and they followed them off course. Did you have any issues like that? Actually, so I'm not I'm not a great runner honestly, and usually running events are not for me But I was determined I've been doing a lot of running and I was determined to do well at this event So I was actually I think it was in like third and I was feeling really good about it

And they made us do like basically like you do to figure eight, you went one way and you read for like a mile and then you went the other way and it was like four miles, right. So when we went the first mile, Emily was in front and she has a track and field background. So I know she's an excellent runner. So she was leading from the beginning, but we're all following her. It's like her another girl me and we're all just following her following her following her. And then all of a sudden, she's running and running and running and I'm just focusing on she was wearing

something orange. I'm just focusing on her like right in front of me or like two people in front of me. And all of a sudden she just stops and she goes like this and she's just like, Wait, I think I went the wrong way. And I just stopped like it literally looked like a cartoon. I like stopped in my heels so fast, turned around, went back the other way. And I was just yelling at people behind me who were all right, because everybody was stacked together because it was right at the beginning. And I was like, turn around, turn around, turn around. And we all just took off and went the right way instead. But she actually is so fast that she just took off and still was in first. So she went the wrong way and probably ran

like 50 feet down the trail the wrong way and still took off came back around and got back in front so Yeah, that's what Taylor said to you He said he and he said it was marked well But he said he was the guy in front of them right and if you're not paying attention And if you're the first or if you're the third person you're just following the person in front of you So after that we didn't have any issues, But the beginning, you end up in tall grass. I wonder if it was the same place. He goes, all of a sudden we were in really tall grass. But no, we were it actually the way that it was so like you were coming off the trail

and then you got on to like a paved road, which took you back to the front area to go to the other side of the figure eight, if you will. But instead of turning onto the paved road, which it had an arrow, when I went back I saw it, she just kept on on the trail. Cause the trail went, like the, basically the road was just cutting the trail. So she just continued on on the trail. She probably just thought that's where she was.

And then as soon as she was running, that's when she stopped all of a sudden and put her hands up because the trail just kind of ended. And all of us were like, oh no. And then then we turned around and yeah. There's a picture of you here with all dressed in, let me see if I can find it. You're all dressed in like a black, is it smoke jumping that you're doing here? Oh, no, a few years ago...

Oh, smoke divers. Yeah, what is this? Yeah, so... This sounds scary. It actually isn't any diving contrary to the name of it, but basically it's like a really hard... I want to call it a certification, but it's really not that. It's a class that you take. It's extremely difficult to pass and they, for six days, you go through just like a an aggressive amount of fire training, but it's a little bit different because it's a lot more focused on, I would call it

mental toughness, but it's also physical tough focused on, I would call it mental toughness, but it's also physical toughness. So basically every day they take you and you do like an hour's worth of PT and gear with someone, I would say aggressively coaching you or yelling at you. And then you do like an hour's worth of like a basically like a fire type obstacle course that's really difficult. And then after that you do like a four

or five mile run, sometimes more, sometimes less all like in a group, very like military style. And then after that you do a bunch of like pass fail fire training. So, um, everything is pass fail and basically like, you know, like it's, it's difficult and if you can't keep up, then you don't pass. Um, so yeah, so I wanted to do it because everybody talked about it and there wasn't a woman who's passed it yet. So I did it and then I passed it. And I was really excited about it. And that's what the reason, go ahead. No, sorry, you go ahead. That's the reason why what? So that's, I actually didn't that would that year, Smoke Diver was the same week as quarterfinals. And so they released the quarterfinals events on Thursday morning, right? Or Thursday,

maybe Wednesday, I'm not sure. And then that, and this Smoke Diver ended on Friday night. So I ended up doing, I think one of the workouts like early morning before class, and we had to report every day by like 6 a.m. And then I did the rest of them, I think one on Friday after class, and then, or after we graduated. And anyway, it ended up that I

didn't qualify for semifinals that year but that's kind of why. Do you get a pay increase if you pass that course? You don't it's really all just for clout. And so when you when you hear about like do you walk into the kitchen at the firehouse and there's a flyer up for this course and you're like what's this how do you how do you know about it? Or does everyone know about it? Is it the one it's like, hey, no girls ever passed this? No, I mean, it was just like more like advertised. So there are a lot of men in my department who have done it. And I actually

the the chief who runs most of it is on my department too. So that's how I knew about it. But yeah, I mean, it's like popular in other States too. Like each state has their own. So I just, I'm the first woman to pass the Indiana. I think there's like, Georgia has had one for a long time, probably 20 years. And there's been like 15 or 20 women who have passed.

Maybe they've had it for longer, but I think that was the original, like, I don't know what to call it. That was the original smoke diver program. And then now it's branched out to other states, but it's state based. Oh, so your state had the first one. It's kind of like one of the old ones. It's the oldest one. No, Georgia was the oldest one. And then Indiana was one of the next few. And so, and you said it's three days? No, it's Sunday through Friday. So it's six days.

And do you sleep there or do you go home? Actually they have. So it depends on how far away you are. Well, actually, no, they made us sleep there. So they have a hotel that's like five, 10 minutes away from the campus. And so you just, you have to stay there. So they have a hotel that's like five, 10 minutes away from the campus. And so you just you have to stay there. But I mean, you don't really do most of the time that you get out of training in the evening, it's like really late. So even if you lived close, it wouldn't be smart to drive home and drive back. Hey, do you salivate at things like this too? Because you're like, Oh, I'm getting paid to train like, does this make you better CrossFitter those things? getting paid to train. Like does this make you better CrossFitter? Those things? I think mentally it really does help you. I don't know if necessarily like physically

it really helps you. I think that CrossFit helps me do that. Like for instance at that training, the PT was like really hard. That's where most people would just quit because we started out with I think like 80 people and only 15 people graduated in six days. So I mean, like, it's hard. And it's usually all people who, and it's all like, like, everybody who goes is like choosing to go. So it's like all people who think that they can pass, you know what I mean? So I think that CrossFit helped me a lot with the PT aspect and the running aspect and the mental aspect. But I do think that it like was twofold because this helped me be better at CrossFit too, because anytime that anything's like really hard, I'm like, this isn't even hard. This isn't even hard. That's what I tell myself over and over again.

Look how happy you are. Look how happy you are. So happy. I was really proud of myself. I was, I was really excited because, um, I, I wouldn't say I didn't know if I could pass or not but I definitely knew it was gonna be a really hard challenge and it was hard it was fun though hey what happens when people tap like how does that what's that look like so you're out there and there's 80 dudes there and you're outside and they give is everyone wearing the same clothes even on the day one and yeah everybody

has to wear the same clothes they They have like a little uniform thing, a uniform that they they have us wear And and what happens when people start tapping? What's that look like? Um, I mean at the beginning there's usually there was like a big rush at the beginning when people tapped out. Um, basically like uh when pt got really hard and a lot of people are yelling at you and and um You know, it's very it's physically exhausting but it's day one uh you see the guy in front of you tap and you're like i'm kind of tired and i think that a lot of people will tap or whatever and basically they just get up and they say they

quit and they're like all right get out no shit yeah like you'll be like in the middle of the workout or like you'll be sitting in chairs afterwards and the guy will raise his hand and be like i'm out oh there's no sitting in chairs. You're standing like the whole time but unless you're eating lunch, which we had like 30 minutes to eat lunch every day, but uh Support for today's episode comes from one skin.

Yeah, I would say more like in the middle of PT, but it's not like it's so weird because it's not like a workout, right? It's like it's like there's a difference between doing a workout and someone saying like, hey, I want you to go run a mile and someone saying, hey, I want you to go to run and don't stop until I tell you to.

So you have no idea how much you're running. Right. And I'm just using that as an example. But like, that's the difference too, with PT. Like if you're, if someone's yelling at you while you're like doing this, like organized sort of training for an hour and you have no idea when it's going to end, it's a lot worse than knowing like, Oh, I only have five more minutes of this. You know? So it's just, it's just, and you don't know, you're saying in this situation, it's gonna end, it's a lot worse than knowing like, oh, I only have five more minutes of this, you know?

So it's just, and you don't know, you're saying in this situation, it's like a fire, you don't know. Yeah, I would say it's just like an aggressive training that they just wanna test your mental fortitude, you know what I mean? God, that must've been awesome. And did anyone make it to like the second to last day

and tap? I think that there was a person who did, I can't remember, I think that there were maybe one person who didn't make it or like tapped on a really close time, but most of the time, or the way it was with our class, like once we got to like day four, it was a pretty solid group.

I think we were down to like 20, but we had lost a lot of people by then, you know what I mean? Yeah, dude, that's awesome. Is that your first time in a situation like that? Yeah, a training like that? Yeah, that's the first time I've done something like that. I've never been in a situation like that where it's like, hey, there's a hundred of you here only. Do they know, do they tell you in the beginning hey only most you aren't gonna make it oh yeah like I mean the year before there was only like five or six people who graduated I mean we knew you knew going into it it was gonna be like that but I don't think you're really ready for it

because in your mind like you know when you look at people and you're like oh this guy looks strong or this guy looks like you're this guy's experience or whatever and it's like you have no idea who's gonna pass and he's gonna fail there were a bunch of people who dropped and I was like, oh, I wasn't expecting that. You know what I mean? Liz, do they fuck with you extra hard? Is it like, and hey guys, Goldilocks here definitely is not going to make it.

Like, do they do any of that with you? You know what, at the beginning, I think maybe a little bit, but after the second day. Do they say it vocally like that? That's what I'd say. I would be just fucking with the girl more Actually at first it was like that but then after the second or third day it was more like, um, hey All you people in the front who are falling down. I just want you to know there's a girl in the back who says

position Yeah, I mean by the end everyone has to be cheering for you, right? Yeah, I would say it was better right by the end. They were just treating me the same but but at the beginning Yeah, I'm different right? So I mean I would be so proud if I was in that class with you to be with the first woman who ever finished That those guys I mean, that's awesome. It was fun fun it was I was I was really excited at the end it was like almost as exciting as winning I was about the same as winning number Cal but it was it was a big part in my career and also I had

to choose between that and quarterfinals that year so it was it was a hard decision but I was I made the right one and what does your boyfriend say to you when you get home from this is he so so proud of you? Oh, he was there at the end when I like walked out and Finished I guess like, you know you finish and there's like a big celebration and everything. He's just really proud of me He makes sure that I know that Yeah, God, he must have been so proud and the other and the other spouses are there too Yeah, yep. The other spouses are there too. I gotta plug this in the other spouses are there too? Yeah, yep. The other spouses are there too. I gotta plug this in.

The other spouses were all there too. And each person who comes out and finishes, there's a celebration and it was really cool. Why are you doing crash? It wasn't NorCal good enough for you. You went there, you got a good payday, really hard competition, high level athletes. Shouldn't you be just like licking your wounds and just chilling and celebrating?

You know what, that is an excellent question that you should ask my coach because he told me he wanted to do crash. And I said I wanted to do I love water Palooza. I was a swimmer previously. So wateralooza has always been my jam. I really enjoy it. And I just like that it's like a cool, fun competition. It's a great time of the year, just like while you're getting ready to gear up for everything, you know what I mean?

But anyway, he said he really wanted me to crash and I said, are you sure? And there was another competition in Arizona that I was thinking about too. And he was like, are you sure you want to do that one? I think you would do really well at crash. And I was like, all right, we'll do crash. So that is why we're doing crash, even though it's a couple of weeks after NorCal. Are you all healed up? I am. Yeah. I didn't really see anything from NorCal I actually used to have this problem with plantar fasciitis real bad and it just disappeared. So that's been awesome. So I'm really excited The the the competition does have a lot of kind of mystique and like superstition around it the people who do well there seem to

Go on to do really well yes, and um go on to to do really well yes and um and and there's going to be a lot of uh there's gonna be a lot of good people there like uh you know people with a lot of experience there that's another reason that and i know that i you know i'm mostly joking when i say he he's the one who who said he wanted me to do it but uh I do like, I do think it's important to compete against people who are really good, you know what I mean? So, I mean, obviously, it's good to have really good competition. But yeah, a lot of the people there, I mean, including me, there's got to be like at least six or seven people from the Northeast, which is a really good semi-final, along with girls who are at the games.

I mean Olivia is gonna be there. Yeah, Kyra, Olivia is gonna be there. I mean there's a lot of really good women who are competing there. Yeah, it's gonna be something else. I'm really excited. How do they seed you? Will they put you in? Because you won NorCal, will you be in a final heat to start off? Do you know how they do that? I don't think so. Uh, they actually just sent out the heat sheet not long ago. That's another thing that I noticed about Crash. That's like really different from other competitions.

I mean, he's just like the most communicative person I've ever had as a, um, like an event organizer. Uh, I mean, they released all the events, all of the details are released. Everything's within email. Like all of the athlete brief is is online I mean, it's just a really well run seemed like a well oiled machine But yeah, they just released the heat sheet. So I'll have to look and see I'm not sure Is your coach competing?

No, oh is I I'm through brute strength and I just started that this year. I did that on X2 Who's your coach? Uh, L Yep, and how did you decide on him? Um, I actually uh, oh there it goes, okay, cool. Um, I was looking around through Excuse me. I was looking around for coaches and he followed me or I found out about him on Instagram not probably like six or so months ago and I know he has a really good group of girls that he coaches and I really liked that. I like having more of a community, you know what I mean? But in a different way.

I would suppose to say like I like people who I know are gonna a community, you know what I mean? Like, but in a different way. I would suppose to say like, I like people who are, I know are going to push me, right? And he has quite a few girls that are really good. Yeah, he has Kelsey and Danielle for sure, right? Yep. Kelsey, Danielle, he also has Ro. Oh, and there's another, there's another couple of girls too, who are really good that he has, and I'm trying to think of them right now. But yeah, so all of us are good.

So when you say your coach is very supportive or encouraging for you to go to crash, it's him, it's Coach L. Correct, yes. Wow, all right, that's cool. He's part of Brute Strength, Do you ever work with Matt Torres? I have not. No, I'm very new. So previously I was all I was doing all the programming through my gym. So I've never like had like an online coach or anything. And then the

gym owner of the gym I go to now CrossFit 9 Degrees was programming for me and doing some coaching too. But I just wanted something that was a little bit more advanced within the CrossFit spectrum, I suppose. And I liked that he had another couple girls too who were really good. Yeah, it makes sense. If someone is, it's not even a dig at your coach if someone's programming and their athletes are getting to if you have if you can get someone who has eyes on you who's getting other people to the big show. I mean, yeah, I mean, because it was less about programming for me and more about the other part because I in my opinion, and this might be different for everybody.

But I think that once you get to a certain point, like the programming only matters so much as long as you're making sure to get everything in, you know? Like, I mean, it's important, don't get me wrong, but I think that you can succeed on many different types of programming. It doesn't have to be just this one or this other one. But I do think that it's important to have a coach with like a good, not personal relationship with you, but someone who can push you differently or maybe even has the experience of pushing people differently

You know what I mean? Yeah, I I think let me let me dig in there a second. So Because you said the words you use were it's the other part The other part is what I think um, I would say the other part would be just the experience with higher level athletes, the experience at the competition, the mental aspect of things, those other things that are just things that I think I would succeed more with having someone with a little bit more experience and that's that's really my point It is really crazy Matt Torres is on a terror over there at brute. Yeah, they have a really they have a they have excellent athletes

I mean so many that a couple years ago. They had Danielle fee Dallin James Fuck I'm forgetting someone there were five of them had Danielle, Fee, Dallin, James. Fuck, I'm forgetting someone. There were five of them. The girl who took a year off who ended up going to Mayhem. I forget her name. Emma, is it Emma Carey?

Emma Carey, yeah. Yeah, he had all five of them one year. And then this year to have both Dallin, and Dallin's basically his son. I mean, he has Dallin and James. I mean, that's crazy. It's wild. Who else did he have this year? Yeah, I was trying to think of her name, but you're James. That's who I was thinking of Yeah, I mean there's just a lot of good people all centered in one in one group So I'm excited to be part of that. I've never done any programming that was outside of my gym

So it's all new to me. And all different body types and personalities. It's not like- Absolutely, yeah. Yeah, it's really impressive. Is there anything that you wanna mention? Do you have sponsors yet? I do, I have a few sponsors.

Yeah, I do. I do, yeah. And that's recent too. But yes. Yep. Did you win NorCal and someone reached out to you and says, Hey, I'll be your agent? Actually, I think it happened right after. Yeah, actually, he didn't reach out to me. Actually, my coach helped me connect with him. And who is your agent? I work with Rashad Barksdale with Mind Over Matter. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

He was um, I text with him. He's a cool dude. I really enjoy. He's Yeah, he's really cool. He's so easy to work with. Very. He was Colton's Yes. Yeah, he was Colton's. Or he is he is he was I'm not sure. I think that I would love to get Colton on here and hear the

story. But I think he was I think he was with him. And then he switched to another guy. I don't want to spread any rumors and shit got weird. And so I think Colton's just like floating in space right now. Oh, no. But I've always Rashad the class act and he's the kind of dude who like, he's really easy. It's funny. I always take shots at agents. I should, I should need to remember that he's out there because he's the kind of guy who just texts me. He's like, Hey, I have this athlete.

If you want to be put in contact, he's never like, I never get any like EBGBs from him. He's just, he's just clean. He's just normal. Yeah. He's just fucking normal. Yeah. And when, and he's never, I never feel like he's like starved for attention. Like when I see him, Yeah. He's just fucking normal. Yeah. And when he's never, I never feel like he's like starved for attention. Like when I see him, even though he's a fucking giant man, um, he, I never feel like, I feel like he's almost invisible when he's at the events. Oh, that's, see, I've never, I, I just started working with him, but, um, yeah.

He's a formidable character. Yeah. I just, I just met him for the first time, like in person, but yeah. Nice guy. I don't want to compare him to shook night, but that's how I imagine like He's like the the nice version of shook night. Um, and then and then and then who are your sponsors right now? Benchmark coffee. I just started working with them and their coffee is really good, which is also cool and Wild South and...

What's Wild South? Is that food? No, Wild South is actually like a clothing brand. It's not like a clothing brand. It is a clothing brand. And I really like all their stuff. It's nice. And then I've got one more too.

Oh, I work with a meal prep company and they're called Herculine. They're actually out of Indianapolis. So I really like working with them too, especially for events. And I can just take all my food there. It's been wonderful. Do you have relationships with all those people? So Herculine, actually, I like liked their products for a really long time.

And then when I started working with Shrad I mentioned that and When we had a conversation with them That's how I ended up working with them. So no, I actually don't have a personal relationship with them I just liked them and then No, that's huge. By the way, it makes it so much easier if you actually Like use the product. Yeah, yeah, like I actually like it. I mean, and I used it before, you know, like so I knew it was no big deal. What's up, what's up?

Then you don't have to be staging shit. Right. You can be like, you can just hand your phone to your boyfriend and be like, hey, can we take a picture of you eating this? You don't gotta be like, oh fuck, I gotta go fucking find this shit and like do it. Or I have to microwave it and just pretend, you know?

Yeah. Like no, it's, I liked them before. I've been using them for like two years. So that was really cool. I mean, same with the coffee too. Like I just, you know, when I've taken videos of me like just drinking coffee in the morning, because that's the coffee that I wanted to drink that morning.

You know what I mean? Not because I, not the other way around, you know? So that makes it a lot easier to Well I'm looking forward to see you compete at At crash When I was at NorCal I didn't I didn't see any of the women's competition actually I didn't watch anyone besides Taylor and Tudor and Colton I was just kind of like Chillin, but this week.

Yeah. Well, I Know that's what I was thinking talk about insecure In who fucks their nanny and gets her pregnant?

God, that just seems so sloppy. Yeah, he should have just grabbed her by the pussy instead. Yep, I agree. Or you don't even have to grab her by the pussy. Just know that you can and just don't do it. How about that? I know that's what's funny. So that's the crazy part, right Mike?

Supposedly this guy Emhoff being a fucking fat beta cuck that he is has reshaped the face of masculinity. Just by being just a complete bitch and being attracted to dumb women. Do you know what, do you know how I see it is like, if you're going to be with a powerful woman, be with a powerful woman. Don't be, don't, I see Kamala as just a straight poser. Kamala's no Liz Wishart. But yeah, so he he cracked his chick.

Anne fucked a nanny and got her pregnant. Anne had some, has a daughter that's not really a daughter. It's pretty amazing that they won't respond to it either. What if they had him, Melania, your husband, your husband fucked a whore and gave her hush money. She'd be like, you fucked a nanny and got her pregnant and gave her hush money. And she'd be like, your husband said that he could grab a girl on a pussy if he wanted. She goes, yeah, you slapped your bitch at Cannes Film Festival in front of a bunch of witnesses. I don't think Trump would ever fucking strike Melania.

The NFL declined the 49ers' request to wear white jerseys this Sunday due to heat. It's supposed to reach 95 degrees Sunday in Santa Clara, but the 49ers will have to stick with the red jerseys while the Cardinals wear white. The 49ers were able to switch from gold to white pants for the matchup. Frank Fikowski from the PFAA weighs in and says, this is despicable. We will be taking over the role of the NFL Players Union as they are not supporting The NFL players the way they should But the NFL has a players union they would never let them do that Uh-huh

Uh-huh, right Uh-huh. Right. I wonder who's more effective, the NFL Players Union or the PFAA? Okay, I'm gonna unplug this. Nope, not that. You guys want to see me work on my computer stuff while... Should I do that after the show or should I fix my camera now? You guys want to be a part of this?

God, I'm so fucking annoyed by this. I don't like being orange. battery come out. Oh, you know what I need to do? That's what I need to do. I need to. Oh, yes, yes. God, we got to get the video contest done. I got to figure that out. Suza's done his part. Now it's all on me. I know you guys are like, where's my five grand? I know. It's coming. It's coming. My name is Steven Roberto. I'm 26 years old. I'm from Ecuador and I go to Salty Heights CrossFit.

My first day was so nice. All the people were like, oh, let's go because it was wall walks. Love wall walks. I did this and everyone was like, oh yeah, you can do that. And I just felt good not because they were saying that to me, just because the intention of them, which was feeling me, make me feel comfortable here. And I love that. I love that I felt the warmth of the place. That was really good. I was going home and I remember like driving outside. I like that a lot. And then here I am. I think I have more than two years here. I'm like, I'm not quitting this place. I moved pretty far from here. But still, I always try to make it.

I'm like, I don't mind to drive a lot. Because for me, that's the place where I love to be. I get all my problems out. And I just come here, have fun, suffer, of course. Of all the bunch of workouts that we have, very hard. But that's the point, I mean like nobody like obligates you to do it, it's just how I like it here. And how it makes me feel, always every single day, this is my peace space and happy, enjoy, enjoy everything here All right, we're back all better

That's gonna be tough comp for that's gonna a tough comp for miss wishart. Okay, wow, there's so many videos in here. Videos, should we start watching some of them? You guys wanna sit around and watch videos all day with me? Fuck, it's hot in here. CrossFit Sherwood Park CrossFit, Utah Valley CrossFit wow, there's so many from Sherwood Park Wow, how many they turn in CrossFit FC Jeremy wit Rock CrossFit FC Jeremy Wittra CrossFit FC. Oh man, this is going to be crazy. Is this person wearing a wig?

Oh no, that's a that's a person. CrossFit Travelers Rest. Wow, one guy turned in seven videos. Oh my god, another guy turned in ten videos. Madmare CrossFit. CrossFit 801, Standard Strength. Oh, what is this one? Let's see this one. Caleb Shaver. Oh, wait, what?

Oh no. Oh, wait, what? Oh no. Okay, I'm gonna play this one. Let me see what the fuck's going on with this one. Why is this one framed like this? Okay, here we go. Let me see this one. How come did this name sounds familiar Emma McLeod? Okay, ready? Action.

My name is Emma McLeod. I'm 20 years old, and I have been a member of Wotown Fit since March of 2022. One part that I really love about- That's the dumbbell I use. Me and her use the same dumbbell. What is that? Like a 20 pounder? Wotown and that's been a big inspiration for me is my dad.

We actually started here around the same time and I love coming to work out with him and He pushes me and I push him and I feel like that's just a really special bond that we have together coming here to work out Another aspect that I love about Wovetown is that we just feel like one big family here I mean, that's probably our biggest saying is Wovetown family and I feel like I've always just connected with that because Something a lot of people might not know about me is I've kind of had a hard time making friends since starting college. And that's just something I've really enjoyed. Being here at the gym is just connecting

with so many people. And it really is true. It's a family. Like we all have this one thing that we all have in common. And that's just something that we share as a family. I love knowing that I can come up here and anybody here would be here for me for anything that I'm going through. And I think that's the most important thing for me is that the family part of it.

I just love coming up here and everyone being there for you and everyone cheering you on and knowing that even in your hardest days you have people there for you and everyone cheering you on and knowing that even in your hardest days you have people there for you. Oh my god she's fucking adorable. All right there's one we watched one. All right fill out your judges scorecard please. Okay what is this one um Okay, what is this one? Oh, I let this one start strong. Here we go.

Here we go. It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming, but who does actually strive to do the deeds, who knows the great Who spends himself in a worthy cause? Who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, And who at the worst, if he fails,

At least fails while daring greatly, So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls Who neither know victory nor defeat. All righty. Another one down. I don't know how you vote. I don't know how you vote. I fucking no idea how you vote. I don't know how you vote. I have fucking no idea how you vote. The first one I watched that makes me cry is the fucking winner. How's that?

I feel like I should give that dude another chance. Who made that one? I think the music was too strong for the video on that one. Okay, what's this? This filmmaker's name is Sarah Eckert. Okay, here we go. Let me see what the fuck's going on here. Come on, baby. Let me see what the fuck's going on here. Come on baby!

Give me the tears! My name is Brayden. I am 25 and I go to Northbound. When I started, I was 260. And I'm down to, well I'm at 195 and I've been keeping that for almost a year and a half now.

It was simple because all I had to do was show up at this exam. If I didn't come, they'd be like, oh, where were you, Braden? And I was like, you know, that's such a good like, reminder to know like, oh, A, they missed me, but B, they want to see me succeed. And I didn't have to think about what to do.

I didn't have to think about what I had to figure out in the gym. I just showed up and it was on the board. I, you know, like so many things that are physical and active, I feel so much more confident, like trying my hand out. And I would just say fun people to do it with. Doing something with people is way more fun

than doing it alone. Enjoy the process because it is a long, it's going to take longer than you think. I mean, if I knew when I started this how much work it's gonna take to get to where I'm at, like I might not have done it. And so I think having the people around you to keep encouraging you, reminding you

of where you came from, reminding you where you're going and just having that community aspect and that accountability too, that's just really gonna make your journey so much better. The community here has been always encouraging, always uplifting. I've never felt shame for what I can do, but only encouraged for what I did do. Rixy! Damn, good job, Sarah. All right.

All right. There you go. Um... All right, there you go I'm just randomly picking there's so many back here. Oh, what's this one CrossFit apex? Oh Shit this one looks gnarly Okay Okay. What did you say? That one's whack? No, that one. I don't know. I didn't think that one was whack. My husband and I tend to take very active trips because we're aware that at some point in our lives we're not going to be able to do that. We've been to the Tulane Fjords and that's where we had kayaked a number of times including

the Magellan Straits. We went to Antarctica this past year and had to climb a very steep hill to see penguins and we had about 20 pounds of gear on with our boots and life jacket and everything. And I remember standing at the bottom of the hill thinking, ah, this is gonna take a while. But again, CrossFit came into my mind and I thought I can do this.

It's another workout. It's just like having a 20 pound weight vest on. I've been so grateful over the years because if it weren't for CrossFit, I wouldn't be able to have those experiences and more on a day-to-day basis caring for our grandchildren. I don't know that I could care for them. Sometimes I've had to pick both of them up at the same time. That's over 50 pounds of kids and I don't know that that would be possible at my age. I'm 67, so I'm grateful.

Uh, that one's cool. Uh, is that Tonya Wagner's gym CrossFit Apex? Listen, listen. Beautiful video. Grandma, don't pick up both kids at the same time. Let me just, okay, that's just free. Pick up both kids same time. Don't do that. You don't have to do that. Just don't do that. Yeah, what's this one? No, what's this one? Oh This one shot kind of funky I Mean it is fucking bold to shoot this shit vertical like bold

bold to shoot this shit vertical. Like bold. Like crazy bold. Let's go on a rant today. Okay, I can talk to you about grandma's picking up both their kids at the same time. No, no, don't. No one wants you picking up both their kids. But I get it. I get it. It was good for the video. It's fine. Don't don't get fixated on it. Seve. Okay, here we go. Samuel Casiano, that's my name. Sports background, I was small. I was a very small athlete. Graduating high school, I tried college. I was working out with the football team, had high hopes. I flunked.

I flunked out of college in the first semester. I told my mom and my dad, I'm not going to be a failure. I'm not staying around here. So I listen to the military. I jumped out of airplanes. So I had to the military. I jump out of airplanes. So I had a bad jump. I hurt my back. They kind of kicked me to the curb.

So I went to school. Barbering is art. Barbering is an art. So I took it up cause I was cutting airborne school and I got paid for it. People paid me to do it. I still remember like it was yesterday.

I was like, what is that? She was like, oh, that's a gym. I was like, what kind of gym? Like, oh, we do CrossFit. I never really see black people doing CrossFit. So I was kind of nervous, especially with a background coming from the racism I've been through. But over time, I got over it because I'm like, not everybody's like that.

But at the time, shit like that hurts. I tried my first day of class. Justin really made me feel comfortable with coming. When I actually got into the Metcon, I was like, this is the type of shit that I wanted to do. My overall goal is probably not even to win the CrossFit games, just to get there. If I can pull it off in the one CrossFit for me, especially like Tar Heel CrossFit, it brought me a peace of mind.

When I step in here, it's peace. Oh, I like that dude. I'd have that dude on the show. Now he likes white people. Yes, CrossFit, learn to like white people. Do you hate white people? Join the CrossFit gym. We will cure you. That seems like a cool dude. You know what's crazy too is that whole time I watched that I wasn't even distracted

by the fact that it was shot vertically. Let me see another one from this. Tar Heel CrossFit. Let me see another one from Tar Heel. Let me see this one. Okay, this girl looks happy. Let me see. Oh, speaking of... I need to have Darien back on. Darien Week, speaking of barbers. I had him scheduled to come on the other day and it was kind of cool. His wife texted me and said, hey dude, he's not even out of bed.

He's so sick. Walking into a gym at 350 pounds is obviously very intimidating. Walking into a CrossFit gym full of shirtless athletes and that weight is very interesting. I walked into a really busy class and I felt like the biggest person in the room and that was terrifying. This whole time I was thinking in my head like I just I can't wait until I lose the weight and then I'll be confident too. I lost 115 pounds and I actually hated myself more. Then I became obsessed with working out and strict dieting because I wanted to look like my friends and it was actually hurting me more. I've learned that fitness is not what I look like.

Fitness is me not being pre-diabetic anymore. Fitness is me getting stronger every day. Fitness is me running two miles straight without stopping for the first time in my life. Every person in my gym has played a role in my journey. They do not feel sorry for me. They treat me as any other athlete in the gym and they push me to be better every day. I'm working on appreciating and being kinder to myself.

I'm still a bigger athlete and I'm still plus size, but that doesn't mean that I'm less than. And I am more than what I look like. I'm learning that it's okay for my body to be seen my body has taken me through a lot of Chapters in my life and I appreciate the chapter that I'm in and continue to work hard every day I'm thankful to be on this journey forever with Tar Heel Okay, I love her holy shit

That chick's fucking cool I like her don't give two fucks attitude Love her hair. That was great. Okay, Tarheel two for two shit Wow Vertical too, I don't even I think that's like not even like I don't think that's like following the rules They don't even I think that's like not even like I don't think that's like following the rules They don't give a fuck Didn't that girl look black in some of the shots and white in some of the other shots? What's this one Orleans CrossFit sow sow should we try another filmmaker? So brown. Orleans CrossFit.

Okay, here, let's try this on a fucking roll right now. Okay, it's kind of pain in the ass clicking all these buttons. Okay, here we go. Hi, my name is Catherine. I do CrossFit at Orleans CrossFit, aka OCFit. To me, OCFit means community. It doesn't matter if you know the person or not, they'll definitely come up to you, give you a fist bump. If you don't know them, introduce yourselves and you'll kind of have this one thing in common, right? Is that you're here to do a hard workout and you're showing up for yourself. So we all have this like core value of like hard work, community support. So I think that's definitely what I love the most about this gym. It's the

best part of my day. Like I think I wake up and the thing I look forward to the most is coming to the gym. Sometimes I even come twice just to see the people and make myself feel better. We often hear this right like I'm not sure if I'm fit enough. I am telling you to stop thinking that challenge that thought because that's not true. You can show up here and you can do what you can and that'll be the best thing you've ever done for your health, physically, mentally, you can do it, definitely.

You can scale everything, we're here to support you. We want you to join us, so please, join CrossFit. No, seriously, it'll be the best decision they've ever made for themselves and also probably the people around them. They'll be happier, show up better for everyone else if they show up to themselves first. I can almost assure you that everyone leaves feeling happier might be a little sweaty um but you definitely feel better so to me OCFIT is a community. Is that the owner? Yeah yeah that chick's body was crazy wasn't it?

Yeah, yeah, that chick's body was crazy, wasn't it? I'm trying to be cool, but like, fuck, dude, how could you not? What a fucking specimen. That was a genetic specimen. That was a fucking genetic specimen. Is that the owner of that gym? What a fucking inspirational character. Some people are just inspirational looking at him man I like her too she's cool as shit where are we fuck I have a lot of

windows open is that the owner she talked like she's the owner. Did I see, uh, what's this? Uh, now you got me spending cash. Play Richard CrossFit Kenosha. Oh, I don't know if I could, if I see it I'll play it. Um They're just in, they're just, it's just fucking chaos back here. There's, I can't really, if you know youtube the back end, I don't see any um I can't really... if you know YouTube, the backend, I don't see any... They're not... they're just organized by the submitters, but not in any order besides that. Like, everyone's all to... like, if you submitted five videos, they're all five together, but other than that, I can't... I'm just randomly picking them.

I can't wait till I have all of these plugged into the back end and I can just play these all the time. Oh, Jason Houlahan. I just picked this because the girl in the thumbnail has great hair. Okay, here we go. These are great. These are better than I thought they'd be. We're on a roll now.

If I see Kenosha though, Joe, I'll for sure pull it up. All right, let's see what's going on here. Well, my experience with other gyms was just, I would give them, you know, the money. I would go in and I would stay consistent for a month, maybe not even a month, couple of weeks. I came in on a Saturday, I believe, and coach Brian was our coach and we had 400 meters of lunges. That was the first workout I did here. I loved it, still love it. Brian had a bet, apparently, with some of the others that I would never make it.

I did, Brian. I'm still here. So it helps relieve stress, but it also just, this is just where you come. This is my family. The other day, I was in the middle of a workout and I found out that my grandmother died and I would not have wanted to be anywhere but here finding that out because I was with my people. So they helped in too many ways to count. Well, that's intense. That's cool.

Was it the, that I love that. Was it the owner who bet that she wouldn't stay? God, that's awesome. That's the kind of stuff I like about CrossFit. All right. We've got a new chick. She ain't going to last. That's cool.

That's cool. All right. There for burpees. Yeah. Was she wearing contacts? Were those for realize? Oh, that's your gym, Chris? Oh, Travis, I saw that. That's a pretty funny post. Kamala's new book. What is this? Oh wow. All right.

Hold on, we have to take a small detour. This isn't a CrossFit video. Someone said someone sent me this and they said seven is going to fall in love with this girl It's a redheaded Danielle Brandon. Let me see what's going on here Carolina I'm at the staging area. I volunteered myself and my canines to come up and do some search and rescue efforts Here's situation, okay Females in the area and we've been told that if we see any FEMA agents like high tail it and go. So obviously you see all my equipment. So we've been told to like to just like turn around and go the opposite direction because what they're doing is they're compensating everything like they would compensate all of

my gear, my car, my dogs, like literally everything. There are some people who have been tracking these FEMA agents and what they do with these supplies after, and these are people that are directly associated with the group that I'm volunteering with. And essentially what they're doing is they're taking these supplies to sanctuary areas for illegal migrants and giving it all to them. They are telling the locals here that they have no more money, that they can't give them any money, they can't do anything, but they are compensating volunteer supplies as they come through and they are giving it to people who are not legal within the

country. Every single fucking person who's been on the show this morning has a fucking nose ring? What the fuck is gone? Do not punch a hole in your fucking nose Okay, why this is the hottest chick in the world who's ever existed now telling us that their FEMA is Confiscating gear and giving it to illegal aliens. Okay, how the fuck am I supposed to really believe that? Is this shit really happening? I know like what the fuck I That can't be fucking happening That doesn't even make any sense. She gets a pass. Yeah, she this chicks fucking gnarly I need to see her get out of her car.

I need to check her whole all her shit out. Does she have an only fans? Rectacular. Yeah, tits are crazy. But but is this really happening? Um, of course, it is very hush hush hush. Of course, they're saying that that's not what they're doing Is that her is that her real hair? Is that what extensions look like? Is that really her hair? I will tell you this I was 11 years in the Coast Guard. I was in Puerto Rico Thank you for your service. Fuck You think guys hit on her when she's in the Coast Guard?

Before enduring Maria and Irma on I was stationed in Boone, North Carolina. I'm at the staging area. I volunteered myself and my canines to come up and do some search and rescue efforts. Here's the situation. Wow. I don't think she's a creep. I don't think she's a creep. Be cool, Mike. That's not cool. She's not a creep She's just I think I mean that's a little creepy that where I froze it, but she's not a creep

That's not nice I Wonder if that's I wonder if that's really what happens You go up there with supplies and they take them and give them that's really what happens. You go up there with supplies and they take them and give them, they give them time, wow. Maybe it's, Femur confiscated gear, supplies, life-saving assistance.

If a Femur agent tries to take your stuff, take them out, simple, it's time. Wow, that's brutal. No one's confirming it. If you Google, Google Truman Anderson Katrina, you'll find information about my dad. He lied to FEMA and officers about the vehicle. He had been broken so that he would be able to use it to get off the peninsula and help others they

were taking everything from everyone and leaving people stranded this is not the first time they've done this I don't understand how a FEMA agent could take my car from me Yeah, how can they take your personal stuff? Are they armed? That's a good question. That's what I want to know. How can they? Yeah.

Are they? How do they do that? Yes, but they're sissies. Yeah, there's no, there's no one. Yes, but they're sissies. Yeah, there's no, there's no one. Yeah, how crazy. Do you remember when that, do you remember when the tranny shooter fucking went into that Christian school and shot that school up and killed a bunch of kids? And then that day the White House put out a on their Instagram Statement of compassion towards trannies. They didn't even mention the shooting and it was like wow, what the fuck And then do you remember how this past Easter on Easter? They made it like National Tranny Day and

Do you remember how this passed Easter? On Easter, they made it like National Tranny Day. And then yesterday, they made an announcement that they're giving $157 million to Lebanon for aid. Doesn't their timing seem a little off? And did you see what Joe Biden did? Kamala was going live to make an announcement somewhere. And then Joe Biden did his first press conference in the press room at the, uh, I think it's at the white house with the media, with the

press. That's the first one he's done in the entire history of his presidency. I heard reported and he went live the same time she did. And the irony is, is they were talking about how well they communicate. He's like like we're a team and we work perfectly together and yet he upstaged her So it's something weird going on Yeah, he said straight up how a line they were and And then he went live the same time she went live. God, that was weird. I'll be thinking about that, that redheaded chick all day. That was crazy.

That was like, that was like the, that was like probably the most beautiful woman who's ever lived. That's like, that thing was crazy. It had a hole in its nose and it was covered with tattoos. I don't pick my friends based on if they have tattoos or not, but I think it's a pretty strong correlate that the people who don't have tattoos are in general just way fucking more reliable, cooler people, stable. And I'm being very nice when I say that. I'm being very gentle.

This woman is running for president of the United States. She tweeted out and I quote, took a moment with Alex and Cooper to see if we could think of any law that gives the government the power to make decisions about a man's body. The answer? No. Here's the video clip of that. I want to take a moment and can we try to think of any law that gives the government the power to make a decision I know what you're gonna ask about a man's body.

I repeat this woman is running for president of the United States. The answer is not no. The answer is the draft. The government can literally decide to draft you into the military and send you across the world to fight in a war that they deem necessary. And this woman is running to be the Commander-in-Chief and doesn't even know this. It's called the Selective Service System. The Selective Service System is an independent agency of the United States government that maintains a database of registered male US citizens and other US residents potentially

subject to military conscription, i.e. the draft. I repeat, this woman is running for president of the United States. Absolutely unreal. She's on the podcast having fun, giggling, doing girly stuff, but just spreading misinformation. And it's funny because they think it's so cute. The law that governs the draft in the United States is called the Military Selective Service Act. Again, this woman is running for president and has no idea what she's talking about. This woman is running for president.

How is abortion protective over women's bodies if you abort female babies? bodies if you Abort female babies. I Don't think it has anything to do with Sex it has to do with age you can kill baby you can kill people who are younger than nine months and one week old Like if they were like, they abort babies that are both men and women, boys and girls.

Just as a corelet, I'm not saying it's like a definitive trait. I could have been got drunk at a ditty party and someone could have put a tramp stamp on my lower back. I'm not suggesting that it's... I'm just saying, just think about it. Yeah,, boy. I'm just saying.

Who was I? Who did I hear interviewed yesterday who said that he he wishes he wouldn't have gotten tattoos? Who's the UFC fighter? He fights at one forty five. He's got the next Corey Garbarant, is it Corey Garbarant? I heard him being interviewed yesterday. He's like, what the fuck was I thinking getting these tattoos?

I'm just saying. I'm just saying. Not putting your shopping cart away, not Mary Material, I totally agree. What's worse though, what's worse Mary Material, Mike, is people who feel like they have to put shopping carts away. Those are the same people who feel like they had to get a tattoo. Oh, your wife, that's fair. My wife's got tattoos, she's stable.

I mean for a woman. She's stable for a woman, you mean. Right? That's what you meant? How could a woman be stable when fucking the entire fucking population is trying to fucking put meat in you? Like you know what I mean? Like women are like the deer of the two sexes. Like you have to be kind of like a little bit, you know, deer like a little skittish.

Like how could you not be like a little skittish? Oh meat is a stabilizer. Oh, I Can't wait till I get a tattoo you guys are gonna fucking love that That's gonna be a fucking highlight for some of you.

I'm going to start looking today. Is tremendously prepared. This is what we do. This is what we do. This is what they do. And the key here, Rebecca, is also to make sure that the communities who are potentially impacted are prepared as well. And it's not

just hurricanes and wildfires, also extreme heat, which certainly some parts of the United States are already experiencing. As Secretary Alejandro Mayork is sounding the alarm on FEMA funding right after the devastation of Hurricane Aling. Listen. We are meeting the immediate needs

with the money that we have. We are expecting another hurricane hitting. We do not have the funds, FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season. This all comes as the Biden-Harris administration spent over a billion dollars from a FEMA program on services for migrants. FEMA is tremendously prepared. This is what we do.

This is what they do. And the key here. I know this is insane. they do and the key here. I know this is insane. This is insane, dude. Is there a helicopter flying over my house? Um, where was paper street coffee made? Um, didn't Cody, uh, just get a tattoo on his face like a month ago. I think that's what he was referencing.

He was, I think they were, he was being interviewed and he's like what the fuck am i doing why am i doing this it's a great question why are you getting a tattoo there's a um i'm trying to get one of the helicopter pilots on the show who's been flying over the area hopefully I can get them to come on the show and tell us what's really going on I don't even know what to believe anymore believe. How about this? You believe this shit? Look at this shit. This shit's crazy.

There's so much crazy shit on the internet. ... missionary family to Mexico, we're with cartel members, we sent convert to Christianity, saying how they traffic thousands and thousands of children specifically to democratic politicians. And they actually sent the biggest client for their product is the US government. And that actually exploded under the Biden administration. So the cartels were telling your family they were trafficking kids to the Democrats? Yes. So it's legit cartels are trafficking kids as sex slaves for Democrats? Yes.

Is this modern day slavery? Yes, they are. So just to give some detail for the audience. Yes, sir. You have an 11 year old girl. Yes. What do they do with that girl? They actually have to hide her. We were in Guaula, which is where the CETAs were at. They just got eliminated. But they were the biggest traffickers. They actually kind of begin to dismantle one of the Trump presidency, even for the Mexican government. But the biggest that they, we know people that had to leave states, hide them, literally take them, like just completely. And these girls become prostitutes.

100%. At 12 years old. Yeah, parents have sold their kids into it just to survive. So when you hear that 320,000 kids have gone missing under Kamala Harris. 100% accurate. We see thousands and thousands of migrants on top of trains coming across just destroying everything across the path Do they mean America well or harm? Absolutely harm. So the cartel works with the American government 100%

So to bring these kids as sex slaves. Yes. This is not a joke everybody We've been saying this for a long time. You guys can go we have the largest It's the largest sex slave trade in the world history. 100% Kamala Harris is overseeing it and cosign I can fill a missionary family to Mexico. What the fuck? No tattoos, no piercings. How much more seriously do you take this guy and someone with piercings? Getting piercings is just like setting yourself up for failure.

It's like a mating call for on your face. It's like a mating call for unstable people or people who just want to take advantage of you because they see your instability. I'm just telling you the truth. I'm just like, that's just like, that's just, I'm just telling you the truth. That's just, that's like, it's like a, it's a subliminal. I don't even know if it's subliminal. It's not subliminal for me. That's not subliminal for me. So this kid just got up and him and Charlie Kirk are saying that the Democrats are the

largest consumer of fucking sex slavery child sex slavery. All right. If you say so. Fuck. I don't even know how to process that. I watched another Diddy video yesterday. It was like 25 minutes long. And the first 12 minutes are just like...

The first 12 minutes are just basically executing him for the fact that he had sex parties. And I just can't execute someone for that. Like, so what if he had sex parties? I don't... I don't... I don't... Like, it was just like... It was trying to like... There were the... in the second half They got into shit like support like they talked about how usher was at his house when he was 13

And usher said he would never fucking let his son go to live with Diddy the way he did and he saw stuff He couldn't process and that got that kind of gets my antlers up a little bit But rich rappers doing drugs and fucking with baby oil like I'm like, well, I hope so.

Who cares if you have piercings? Because, no, who cares if you have piercings or not? I'm not suggesting that at all. I think you've interpreted what I've said. I'm not suggesting that it makes them capable.
