Josh Bridges:

Can you hear me? I couldn’t hear you. Dumb ass

Sevan Matossian:

Shit. Oh, that’s not,

Josh Bridges:

Oh, there’s a lot of no audios I’m seeing.

Sevan Matossian:

Oh my goodness. I just talked for a minute. 26 seconds. Well, good. You weren’t even here.

Josh Bridges:

Son of a dude. Look at your hair.

Sevan Matossian:

Oh, I knew we were gonna start.

Josh Bridges:

Steven Segal. Here we go. <laugh>. Oh, oh. Steven Segal. Wow. Yay. I son.

Sevan Matossian:

Let me see this. Steven Segal pull up. Oh, dude, you’re well, not, I will not tolerate that bullshit. Let me see this.

Josh Bridges:

I, that’s exactly who you look like.

Sevan Matossian:

Steven Segal the goal. Oh, uh, here we go. Where? Where’s my sh Where’s my share screen? There it is.

Josh Bridges:

Oh yeah, baby <laugh>. Look. <laugh>. I love it.

Sevan Matossian:

Stick one. Which 1:00 AM I? This one?

Josh Bridges:

All of them. This.

Sevan Matossian:

Oh, you can’t even see my arrow. Darn it. What is going on? So, I’ve, I’ve been outta town Josh for like seven or eight days and I’m just back in the studio. So the audio was fucked up. Every, I was just complaining about how I, I, I dunno what’s going on here cuz it’s been a week. Oh

Josh Bridges:

Man.

Sevan Matossian:

I’m, tomorrow, I’m reworking the whole studio. I’m so excited.

Josh Bridges:

What are you gonna do? Uh,

Sevan Matossian:

Move it around Right now? I have it set up so some people can come in live, but I’ve never really utilized it. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> tomorrow I’m gonna just like, move, change the whole thing around. So it’s like friendly. So when you come over, like you and the homies can like, you know, look, it looks like a legit podcast studio instead of moving pushed in the corner here.

Josh Bridges:

I like it, man. I like it.

Sevan Matossian:

Thanks. You like, what about the man bun? You like that?

Josh Bridges:

Uh, it’s okay. You know, I’m not, um, it’s, yeah, it’s very, um,

Sevan Matossian:

You don’t think the Payam shirt kind of equals it out as the true testosterone? It’s like a nice balance of <laugh>. I

Josh Bridges:

Don’t know. I literally was pretty close to being able to put a my hair in a man bun literally until about three hours ago. And I went and got a haircut

Sevan Matossian:

I did, was

Josh Bridges:

Driving crazy.

Sevan Matossian:

I did see that you were kind of going back for the, um, kind of, uh, Lou Ferrigno incredible Hulk days. The 2000, you know, like, whatever, 12, 11, 12. What was

Josh Bridges:

That? 16?

Sevan Matossian:

16, 16? Yeah.

Josh Bridges:

I, uh, yeah, I was just being lazy. I just hadn’t gotten a haircut. I was just, there was nothing to it. It was just laziness. Just hadn’t gotten a haircut.

Sevan Matossian:

Priorities.

Josh Bridges:

Exactly.

Sevan Matossian:

Uh, thank you for the No Disc golf show. All right. Um, I I was just saying before you came on, um, uh, that this guy, there’s a guy who has a, a podcast called Coffee Pods and Wads. Yeah.

Josh Bridges:

Yeah. I’ve been on it.

Sevan Matossian:

Pedro, you have been on it. And he interviewed, uh, Don Fall today Live. And it’s a fucking good interview. Really. And like, yeah. And, and some, it’s like funny, depending on the mood I’m in. Like, I want to like, say nice things that Don did a great job, but then when I get in a bad mood, I’m like, Don did a shitty job. So I haven’t decided, like, now I’m going to address it. <laugh>.

Josh Bridges:

I love it.

Sevan Matossian:

But, uh, yeah, it’s funny. Nice things. Some things are mood dependent.

Josh Bridges:

Yeah, I can see that. What was, uh, what was good about the interview? What happening in it?

Sevan Matossian:

This Pedro asked him some hard questions. Pedro was like, just pushing on him. Like, Hey, what the fuck’s up you guys are doing? You know, this is the first time, uh, semi-finals have ever been done. I th that I can recall where they didn’t stream some of the events. So the athletes

Josh Bridges:

Gonna take Yeah, I saw that. I saw that there’s like, not everything. Like Linda’s not being streamed, like one of the throwback workouts, original female workouts. That’s like so awesome. And they’re not gonna stream that one. That’s weird.

Sevan Matossian:

Uh, the athletes are gonna take the field six times for seven workouts and you’re not gonna stream twice when they take the field. And I just,

Josh Bridges:

What was the, what’s the reasoning that they said?

Sevan Matossian:

Well, I mean, I, I’m just gonna say, I don’t know. I can’t remember if they’ve said, but it’s money, it’s resources, it’s money. Don does allude to one thing. He basically says, uh, we did the, I think this, I’m paraphrasing what he said, but he said, due to limited resources, we figured out which time gets the most bang, bang for the buck based on the number of viewers historically. So we got rid of those two workouts. And then he went on to say, and the workouts are on two different floors. So it was hard moving the camera people, which makes no sense, cuz it’s at six or seven different venues. And then he kind of covered his ass and said, oh, well you better follow up and ask JB that question. Meaning like he does, it’s kind of below his pay grade.

Josh Bridges:

Mm, gotcha.

Sevan Matossian:

But it’s huge. It’s huge. It’s a weird thing. It’s a weird thing to see what happened in 2018, 19 and 20. And you have the fewest, uh, um, you have the most white athletes in the least media ever in the history of the games, <laugh> after this, after there was this attempt by the community to get more media and, and, and, and more, more sprinkles on the donut. And it’s, uh, it’s just, I find I, I’m enjoying it. The irony.

Josh Bridges:

Yeah. It’s really weird. Um, I don’t understand it. And they’re also doing it not on weekly.

Sevan Matossian:

You’re kind of like, you’re, you look like Don fall.

Josh Bridges:

Uh, I don’t tell you truth. I don’t even know if I’ve ever, I don’t, I’ve definitely never met him.

Sevan Matossian:

You’re the black-haired version of him. You could be, you could be his brother.

Josh Bridges:

I like it. Thank you. I don’t, I dunno if it’s a compliment or good thing or a bad thing. Um,

Sevan Matossian:

It’s a compliment.

Josh Bridges:

I thought it was weird that they’re not doing it on weekends either. It’s literally just, they’re gonna do three days in a row the next three days, the next three days, the next three days. The next three days, right? Am I

Sevan Matossian:

Right? No, no, no. It’s all, it’s all weekends every weekend. Yeah.

Josh Bridges:

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay.

Sevan Matossian:

Three, three weeks in a, my understanding. Uh, three weeks in a row, basically Friday through Sunday. The, the normal thing. Hmm. So, so is Right. Maybe someone will, maybe someone will unfuck us in the um, oh, did you I for, I didn’t send, uh, Fraser a link, did you?

Josh Bridges:

No. Oh.

Sevan Matossian:

All right. You should

Josh Bridges:

Do it.

Sevan Matossian:

<laugh>. Matt. You think he misses the

Josh Bridges:

Show? I think so. I

Sevan Matossian:

Do too.

Josh Bridges:

For sure.

Sevan Matossian:

I’m gonna, I’m gonna pull up a picture of Don fall for you. Have you looked at the workouts?

Josh Bridges:

Yeah, I’ve looked at the workouts. Jesus.

Sevan Matossian:

Well, the reason why I ask is cause I think, so I always just imagine you’re kind of distant from the community, but you’re not

Josh Bridges:

I’m not distant. No, I’m, I mean, like, I’m not, like, you know, as involved as I obviously once was when I was competing, but really, I don’t know about that.

Sevan Matossian:

Yeah, just put a, uh, he does his hair the same way. He’s all clean cut. He’s, you know what I mean? He’s just, he’s the blonde version to you. Blonde, skinny version of you.

Josh Bridges:

Okay.

Sevan Matossian:

Marine recon.

Josh Bridges:

Oh, nice. I like it. Fuck ya. That’s cool. Um, the workouts we were talking about. The workouts. Sorry, I was gonna go, I was going to kinda like pull ’em up.

Sevan Matossian:

I can Hey, hey. You

Josh Bridges:

Got ’em already? You got, you got ’em already. You already got ’em, Steven.

Sevan Matossian:

I don’t, but let me, um, let me do it. Oh shit. Look at this. Look at, if you go to the CrossFit games Instagram account.

Josh Bridges:

I

Sevan Matossian:

Know, by the way, I noticed your, I noticed your Instagram account is moving, uh, started moving north again.

Josh Bridges:

Yeah. It’s weird,

Sevan Matossian:

Right? Yeah. Congratulations. Thanks,

Josh Bridges:

Man. I know. Right there. Top right at the top, baby. Look at that. This is his one. Rat Max. If he’s able to hit this good old days, had a couple old Tims just not able

Sevan Matossian:

To solidify underneath that Bailey in this so close. Hey, um,

Josh Bridges:

Boy’s thick right there.

Sevan Matossian:

I, yeah. Look at your ass.

Josh Bridges:

Look. Hey, damn dude. A

Sevan Matossian:

Dumb truck.

Josh Bridges:

Thanks for noticing.

Sevan Matossian:

Hey, when I watch this, I’m tripping that, um, all that right there is, uh, that excitement is, uh, could be like an adrenaline dump. Like, like, like you, like you shoot your load with that instead of like saving that in and using it for your next lift, right?

Josh Bridges:

Well, I was getting fired up because I knew that I had the lift. I remember hitting those, those those failed the ones that I failed. I remember just realizing I, I have it. No, I have this, I have this weight. Like this weight’s gonna go overhead. And so it wasn’t really an Aden adrenaline dump for me. It was more so like getting myself fired up.

Sevan Matossian:

I mean, cuz you can only do that slowly

Josh Bridges:

Focusing it.

Sevan Matossian:

You can only do that so many times. Right. So like in that sandbag lift, do you remember that last year?

Josh Bridges:

Yeah. Yeah. And

Sevan Matossian:

You’re wasn’t part of you like, I mean, I’ve never done it, but you’ve done it, I’m guessing where you’re like, how many more times can, uh, Ricky Ard and uh, Justin Maderas get themselves up for that? Right? I mean, yeah, the last three lifts they should have failed and they had kept getting up and doing it and getting, you know what I mean by get up, I don’t mean get outta their chair.

Josh Bridges:

I mean I understand, I understand what you’re saying. Yeah, yeah. Like get, like getting the adrenaline, getting the, like getting everything going to where, like, there’s certain movements too where all of a sudden it’s just gone and snatches one of them to where like, you work up, you’ll work up, you’ll work up, everything’s feeling great, everything’s feeling smooth, you’re feeling fired up, everything’s firing, the muscles are going, like you’re putting, like you’re hitting the right positions and then all of a sudden it’s just gone. But like that, this competition right here, the crowd was keeping me up. Um, and I, and every time that I missed it, they were like really close misses to where I knew that I had it. And so

Sevan Matossian:

The crowd,

Josh Bridges:

I was able to stay up

Sevan Matossian:

The crowd,

Josh Bridges:

The crowd,

Sevan Matossian:

The crowd. Okay, here we go. Uh, so, uh, what, what, what was the time cap on this? Do you remember?

Josh Bridges:

It was like 11 minutes.

Sevan Matossian:

Okay. So we’re, we’re at the nine minute mark. Shit’s getting weird.

Josh Bridges:

Yeah, it’s getting close. Yeah.

Sevan Matossian:

Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. Okay. And, uh, and, and you failed your first lift and it’s 2 65.

Josh Bridges:

I failed it a few times already, I think, or a couple times.

Sevan Matossian:

And the, um, announcer, uh, said, this is your pr

Josh Bridges:

I had not, yeah. I’d never hit this weight yet. Okay. The most

Sevan Matossian:

In your life. In your life. Your system on planet Earth.

Josh Bridges:

Okay. Yeah. My existence.

Sevan Matossian:

Okay. Uh, uh, Katie, please, uh, don’t shower us with money quite yet. I don’t have time to <laugh>. I really enjoy the Josh and Savon, uh, shows. Thanks guys.

Josh Bridges:

You’re sure you should put my name in front of yours on that podcast up there. I agree.

Sevan Matossian:

<laugh>. Uh, thank you,

Josh Bridges:

<laugh>.

Sevan Matossian:

Okay. Um, am I stuttering at all?

Josh Bridges:

No,

Sevan Matossian:

No. I don’t mean like I’m having a stroke. I mean, like my screen, my, uh, my internet.

Josh Bridges:

No, I’m, no, I’m, you’re fine.

Sevan Matossian:

Okay, here we go. At eight 16 have passed assets now. Oh, the arrow to your right.

Josh Bridges:

Yeah.

Sevan Matossian:

And are you paying attention with a man bun?

Josh Bridges:

No, I wasn’t paying attention to him. Like, I did not care about it winning this, I just cared about hitting the weight twice because when I practiced it, when I trained it, every weight leading up to it, the, it was like 180 5, 2 0 180 5, 2 25, 2 45, 2 65, like every weight prior to that, I had no issues with. Like, I didn’t miss, I had to hit 2 45 4 times. I had zero misses. Like, I, I hit every one of them. Like, it wasn’t even like a thought in my mind, I was gonna miss it, but I never hit 2 65. And so I never even attempted 2 65 in training. I would just do polls. So I would do, I would do the, I’d do the workout up to 2 65. And then at 2 65, I just did polls. And I knew in my head I was like, I’m gonna get this on the floor.

Sevan Matossian:

You did?

Josh Bridges:

I thought, yeah. And I was like, I’m I’m gonna get it. I have no doubt about it in my mind.

Sevan Matossian:

Wow. So you weren’t nervous. You weren’t, you weren’t pissed off when you saw this. Like, what the fuck? This is too heavy.

Josh Bridges:

No, no. I was excited. I was stoked. I was like, I’m gonna fucking pr my snatch in competition. After performing, it was like 10, what was it? Ten eight, six forty two I believe. Um, I don’t remember the exact ways. I think it was, was it 180 5? 2 0 5. 2 25. 2 45. 2 65.

Sevan Matossian:

Um, uh, Mike Pool. Boy, uh, what am I watching? Sounds like SevOne, but I’m watching Josh being interviewed by what appears to be an upset Uber driver. <laugh>. Uh, yes. Um, and

Josh Bridges:

Right. Damn right. Rosemary liked it.

Sevan Matossian:

And is that, um, still your pr

Josh Bridges:

Yes. I hit it and I only hit it the next year in the open. They had it, the weight in the open, and I had, and I hit it. I think you were supposed to hit it three times and I only hit it twice.

Sevan Matossian:

Uh, um, look at Lauren Fisher. I wanna see replay of when Rasmus wander wk, uh, winning this event.

Josh Bridges:

Yeah. Because it, because people care about that.

Sevan Matossian:

Nah, <laugh> Na.

Josh Bridges:

Who’s that guy again? Who is

Sevan Matossian:

That? Uh, uh, day Walker. Josh Bridges is a good dude. The la we, we’ve, as we’ve learned on the last show, uh, he’s the, um, last good dude, <laugh>, Josh share a story about the seven podcast last year that led me here. So thanks for that, Josh. Oh, that’s awesome.

Josh Bridges:

Hell yeah.

Sevan Matossian:

I like it. Cop Jessica Valenzuela. She’s a cop, regular listener. Oh, I’m sorry. Are we are, am I interrupting something, Josh? No. Oh, okay. Okay.

Josh Bridges:

<laugh> Here.

Sevan Matossian:

Here we go. Here we

Josh Bridges:

Continue.

Sevan Matossian:

Time of 8 36. Oh. Oh, okay. Do you know, are you nodding your head? Is that what you were doing? You know

Josh Bridges:

Me?

Sevan Matossian:

Yeah.

Josh Bridges:

Do I know what,

Sevan Matossian:

You know what’s going up?

Josh Bridges:

Yeah,

Sevan Matossian:

Right there. You know. Yeah.

Josh Bridges:

No, yeah. I caught it. I, I’m like, I’m like, okay, I’m in the position. I got it now. I just, now I just decided to like, settle it and, and stand up.

Sevan Matossian:

Because you’re like nodding your head and shit.

Josh Bridges:

Yeah. Cause I fucking, oh

Sevan Matossian:

Goodness. Josh, are you kidding me? Whoa. And, and the very gentle, uh, uh, you know, you, you came down with it very gently. Well,

Josh Bridges:

Because I, I knew I had to hit it again.

Sevan Matossian:

Okay. Don’t bust your not

Josh Bridges:

No. Was, yes. I was like, I was like, don’t, like in my mind I go, don’t celebrate this lift because I have to hit it again. And if I celebrate it, cuz in training, if I had hit, if I would hit a P pr, like, that was it. There were no more, no more lifts. Yeah. No more lifts are happening. You know, you’re like, you’re done. You’re like, that’s it. I’m good. Like I’m good to go. I don’t, I don’t need to do anything else in that moment. I recognize very quickly I’m like, I have to hit this again. So don’t celebrate this. Like, there’s, dude,

Sevan Matossian:

This never happens.

Josh Bridges:

Never.

Sevan Matossian:

Right. You’re done. Like in reality, you’re done. He did good. The crowd is happy. He got it once. He’s like, it’s a pr He’s the little guy. He is not supposed to get it. He is never got it before. Good job.

Josh Bridges:

Yeah, because, and, and if that was in my garage and I was hitting that for a pr, I would’ve slammed that weight. I would’ve fucking ripped my shirt off and, you know, chugged 10 beers, like Right. It would’ve been insane. Like, I would’ve just like celebrated so hard, especially a snatch PR because it just rarely came. 10

Sevan Matossian:

Shots of espresso. 10 shots of espresso.

Josh Bridges:

Yeah, exactly. Espresso. And so I was l i like, but I caught myself like as I was standing it up, I was like, you have to hit this again. This the celebration, the g the the lift isn’t over. Like, so don’t, don’t feel like it’s over cuz it’s not. Because you still have to do it again.

Sevan Matossian:

Uh, Josh looking like a, uh, tow truck driver on Yellow Jackets and Mad Dog 22

Josh Bridges:

<laugh>.

Sevan Matossian:

I don’t even get it. I don’t get it. Yellow

Josh Bridges:

Jackets. They’re like, these like caffeine pills at gas stations.

Sevan Matossian:

Oh. Oh, <laugh>. Okay. Okay. Uh, hey. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Shut it burpee, dude. Uh, the stop pausing. Step on. We can’t see the video clearly. You got it. Pipe down. I’ll pause it all. I want milk in this show. We got 90 minutes. I gotta milk it. I can’t even believe we found something so good right off the bat. We came over here to talk about workouts and instead we’re, I know living, living in the past. Okay, here we go. Here we go. Oh, what’s up with the shirt athlete? They gave you that, that’s issued from the event. That’s,

Josh Bridges:

That’s Rogue. Rogue. Shoot.

Sevan Matossian:

Rogue. Okay. But, but not, so you get to, you got to Cho choose that.

Josh Bridges:

Yeah. Yeah. Like that. Yeah. They don’t tells us what to wear. They just give us a bunch of shirts.

Sevan Matossian:

Okay. Oh, but they did give you that, that was provided. Yeah.

Josh Bridges:

Rogue gave us those. Okay. If you’re a rogue athlete.

Sevan Matossian:

Okay.

Sevan Matossian:

The PR for Jock Bridges after three or

Sevan Matossian:

Four. And could you, oh my God. Did you see your eyes? They were crazy.

Sevan Matossian:

Attempted that. Unbelievable. But did you see the fight?

Sevan Matossian:

So your hair was getting close to that look.

Josh Bridges:

It was, man, it was, it was about there today. That position

Sevan Matossian:

Kept his body locked out and didn’t rush

Sevan Matossian:

In was my boy allowed

Sevan Matossian:

Him to get up. That was awesome. Dan in at 9 0 1.

Sevan Matossian:

Okay, nine minutes, two minutes left here. No, that’s not Garrett Fisher. Does he still do CrossFit?

Josh Bridges:

I don’t think so, ma’am. I haven’t happened to him. I I have no idea what happened to him.

Sevan Matossian:

All only

Sevan Matossian:

A strong way looking at it for ’em, but Wow, what a performance bridge is almost getting

Josh Bridges:

Just was now what? That was bad. That was like, I was like, damnit, I like, but I knew it was just a bad pull. I was like, you did. I was just a bad pull. I go, that was just a bad pull and I had to like stay in the stay there, you know, I had to stay in the zone because if I fucking got out, it was gone. And I was like, don’t do it. You’re there. You still have this weight.

Sevan Matossian:

Um, d are d in hindsight are you like, holy fuck, what a st This is just crazy that you’re able to stay up.

Josh Bridges:

Yeah, it was, it was nuts. Like, looking back on it, it, it really is because there, it would never have happened anywhere else, like nowhere else.

Sevan Matossian:

Well, um, uh, uh, uh, 89, 90% of the time we see someone, um, they, well, let’s say, let’s, lemme see, 70% of the time we see people and they get put in a situation, do something miraculous and they fail. They just, they they, they’re not able to pull it off. Which, you know, froning with the 400 pound and Tommy Hackenberg with the 400 pounds overhead and they had the opportunity to do something miraculous and they didn’t do it, but it was still cool. Right? Right. We saw them go for something miraculous. Right. You remember, you know what I’m talking about mm-hmm. <affirmative>, the 400 pounds overhead and Okay. Yeah, for sure. And, and, um, does she, do you need another pair of headphones? Does she wanna jump in or <laugh>

Josh Bridges:

<laugh>,

Sevan Matossian:

Thank you for, uh, I can give her a link. And so cooking,

Josh Bridges:

She’s cooking dinner, man, chill

Sevan Matossian:

Out. And so, um, so then, and then, then the, that’s, that’s 70% of the time they go, it’s cool. We get to see someone try something miraculous and then the other 29% of the time we see them do it once and that, and that’s it. You know what I mean? And we, we cheered them on like, like, okay, good job Cody. You, you lifted the heavy weight, but you still took last place Cody and, you know what I mean? Or Chris Spieler, good job. You, you know what I mean? Like, Jason Kliper ran you over, but you didn’t die. Right. It’s gonna find good. It’s good, but you’re going for, you never see this happen. You just don’t. No.

Josh Bridges:

You really don’t. It was a, it was a really cool experience. I was like stoked that, um, uh, <laugh> God, it Castro that Dave made the fucking workout. Like it was a beautifully written workout that like, the ladder, uh, just like, hey, now you get to snatch heavy, but you have to have your heart rate up while you do it. I just, I loved these workouts. These were my favorite workouts. I did these all the time in training and, uh, it just happened to happen the, the right year at the right time. And I was, there was nothing that was stopping me. And this was like that first workout. It was the first workout of the weekend and it was the heavy workout. And, you know, I wasn’t supposed to do that. Well, and I end up taking I think like a top 10 or maybe, maybe, I don’t know, right around like 10th or 11th or something, which, you know, normally I’m at the very bottom of the, the heavy workout. And I think, I don’t think people are even, I don’t think people just were like expecting me to hit the 2 65. And you know what the funny thing is? I was the fucking second per and the saw, we were the final heat and I was the second person to the final bar. Like I went through, I went through the first four bars faster than only one. Only I think it was Rasmus, I believe was the only person that beat me to the final bar.

Sevan Matossian:

I don’t know who that is, but I’ll take your word on it.

Josh Bridges:

Me neither. I, I, uh, something like that.

Sevan Matossian:

Uh, uh, couple comments here. Um, uh, Trish, um, uh, what did she say? Uh, bridges is a kept man now. I mean, when he says she’s making dinner, I know what that means. She turned on the stove, she spit on a pan <laugh> and then fucking threw a fucking pound of hamburger meat on it and put a lid on it. And she’s like, I’m in the garage working out. It’ll be ready in 15.

Josh Bridges:

That’s funny.

Sevan Matossian:

Uh,

Josh Bridges:

Well, it’s close. It’s probably flanks steak. Not, not hamburger meat.

Sevan Matossian:

Uh, okay. Um, there was one. What, what, is there something else in here? I think someone said something mean to you. I wanna make sure if anyone says anything mean to you,

Josh Bridges:

It gets rid. Get get it out there.

Sevan Matossian:

Uh, we’re never gonna see this happen at this rate. Uh, quiet pipe down. I rigg

Josh Bridges:

Rigged programming

Sevan Matossian:

For I’m, so I’m soaking in this. I don’t want it ruin it for you guys, but it’s a good ending. <laugh> Robbie Meyer seven on. It’s my birthday. Can ca Josh wish me a happy birthday?

Josh Bridges:

Okay, here we go. So there you are. Just a pile of shit on the ground. It’s not coming outta your nose. You’re crying. Yeah. Back to back there. Oh, conscientious of the clock at all?

Josh Bridges:

No. Uh, kind of, kind of a little bit. A little bit. It was, it was either 10 or 11 minutes. I can’t remember the time cap on it, but I, I knew I had to get it. Like, I was like, I was definitely like, if I wasn’t gonna get it in this rep or the next rep, it probably wasn’t going.

Sevan Matossian:

Uh, oh, hold on. Let’s take another quick break here. Sev on. I love you. Well, thank you, <laugh>. Thank you. I’m been bathing that for a second. Hey, uh, the great Mike Colo in the right hand corner with his camera.
