| 0:00.0 | We're back. We've got a super radical interview today with |
| 0:06.8 | Armin Hammer TV. He had a conversation with Greg Glassman on Saturday |
| 0:14.8 | this week. And we were lucky enough to be at the same event. The |
| 0:19.1 | granite games with him sat down for about an hour and a half and got |
| 0:23.0 | the lowdown on everything you need to know about the up came |
| 0:26.4 | upcoming CrossFit game season, all the changes, all the things you can look |
| 0:31.0 | out for. And what the future of CrossFit looks like specifically the CrossFit |
| 0:36.2 | games. We had a very cool conversation. I've been a fan of Armin all the way |
| 0:42.0 | back since the naked CrossFitter. And if you remember that blog, you're a |
| 0:46.6 | super OG CrossFitter. I've had been on a guest in the Wadcast podcast many |
| 0:52.6 | years ago. It was actually the first podcast I was ever on and just been a |
| 0:57.3 | huge fan of Armin. And it's pretty cool because we've all kind of grown up in |
| 1:02.0 | this Southern California CrossFit scene together. And man, it's super cool |
| 1:07.6 | that I get to bring him on shrugged and he can be a guest on our show. And just |
| 1:13.4 | been a big fan of him, I would say, of each other for a long time. So very cool |
| 1:19.4 | show coming your way. I also want to thank the Granted Games. John Swanson, you |
| 1:25.9 | have put on a phenomenal event. St. Cloud, you are a phenomenal town. We had such |
| 1:31.8 | a just amazing experience. Everybody there is top-notch. I can't believe that |
| 1:36.4 | they put 2000 athletes, a couple thousand fans in the stands. Everybody's |
| 1:41.3 | cheering. Everybody's got just such a good vibe out there. And they were |
| 1:46.5 | announced as the second official, I guess, regional stop for people on the way |
| 1:52.4 | to punching their ticket to the game. So very cool weekend to be out there. |
