| 0:10.0 | What's up everybody? |
| 0:11.0 | Welcome to another edition of Talking Elite Fitness. |
| 0:13.5 | I'm Sean Woodland with Lauren Kalil. |
| 0:15.7 | Lauren, how is vacation? |
| 0:17.4 | Oh, it was so nice and relaxing. I don't think I answered a single email for the first time in a long time. So it was great. And my five-year-old nephew, I was telling Sean before Tommy, but watching him jump into the waves and be brave and love the water this year was just so heartwarming and it was just |
| 0:41.9 | amazing. It was a great time. Was he not a water dog before? He was scared of the waves last year and my |
| 0:49.1 | sister and brother-in-law recently got a pool and before vacation, he wasn't into jumping in without |
| 0:53.9 | his water wings on vacation. He's like a new man he's like mom i don't want the water wings i'm doing a cannonball that's good good stuff a healthy respect for the ocean yeah never a bad idea and featuring tami marquez tommy uh fresh off of his role at the Project Tour Stop 2 in Mesa, Arizona. How you doing, man? I'm doing great. I am stoked to be home because I feel like my kid grew a whole head. They change, man. Choller and... Changes fast. I watched them do three freestanding air squats today. Nice. And it's perfect, right? Like, they just, they got them fresh out the box knees and they can just quit, bam. I have never done an air squat that. Hell no. Perfect in my life. I know. At least not since I was his age, and that was, gosh. Is he taking off their Tiff then? I think so. I mean, Tiff's like, Tiff has always been a good mover. She's very, she's a cautious mover. Um, so yeah, I don't know. We'll see. Because right now the way it looks like those getaway sticks are grown, like he might have, he might have my leg, so he might have to figure out some stuff anatomically. A lot of ROM. Yeah, he's adding a few floors. A lot of ROM. Nice. Well, today we're going to recap World Fitness Project Tour Stop 2. Obviously, Tommy had a front row seat to that. And then we're just going to talk about, you know, because of some of the things that are being spoken about in the ecosystem, you know, next season is getting closer. We are technically in the off season, although I don't think that really exists anymore, the off game season. But, you know, what we think the ideal season should look like. And that's, I think we can talk about two |
| 2:36.3 | scenarios. That is if World Fitness Project and Crossett continue to work separately, or if they find a way to |
| 2:42.1 | coexist and make one, you know, mega league, what we think that could look like as well. Because |
| 2:46.6 | that's starting to be a topic of conversation as we move into the, you know, latter months of the year here. I know we're practically into winter now because fall started in July because that's when the pump and spice latte came out. I've already had two since we last. I'm sure you have. I see that I go so where I work, there's a Starbucks like in the student union in San Jose State. And I go down there for some coffee. I look at that sign. I'm just like, not yet. Smacking it out of kids' hands. It's not fall. It's 98 outside. |
| 3:14.6 | Get that thing out of. I do respect. I know. Respect the seasons. Before we do that, we want to thank our |
