EAT TO EVOLVE DISCOUNT CODE JOYCLAIRE15 www.joyandclaire.com email: [email protected] instagram: joyandclaire_ This is Joy & Claire Episode 79: Mobile Diplo Episode Date: June 17, 2021 Transcription Completed: June 29, 2021 Audio Length: 52:21 minutes  Joy: Hey guys, this is Joy. Claire: And this is Claire. Joy: And this is Joy and Claire. Whenever I say my name, I always feel like I’m saying Dj-oy. Claire: Dj- Joy: Because if I say it really fast, I’m not saying the “j” sound. And when I lived in France way back in the early 20’s of my life, my French family – in French, you can’t say the “j” sound. Claire: Right, it’s not a hard “j.” Joy: And so whenever my French mom would say, “Joy,” she would say, “Dj-oy.” Claire: That’s so cute. Joy: So happy pride month. We were late on saying it last episode, but it is still pride month. Claire: Yes. Happy pride month. We are donation-matching up to $1,000 to the OUT Foundation. We talked a little bit about it on our Instagram a week or so ago. We still have a little ways to go on $1,000. So if you go to our Instagram profile @joyandclaire_ and go to our link tree, one of the top buttons in our link tree will take you to the OUT Foundation to donate. We have had Will Lanier on Girls Gone WOD several times. I think we had him on Joy and Claire as well. He did a bonus episode for Joy and Claire with Andy last year. Joy: Yes, during COVID, right? Claire: During COVID, yeah. Joy: I mean, we’re still in a pandemic. It’s just no t- Claire: But during the height, during lockdown. Joy: Yes. Claire: He’s in law school now and still is the executive director, I believe, of the OUT Foundation. He’s wonderful. We love him, and we love the OUT Foundation. They do a lot of things to increase visibility and access for LGBTQ+ community members in the CrossFit and functional fitness and just fitness in general space by creating scholarships for LGBTQ+ people who can apply for a scholarship to join a gym. We love supporting them because they are a smaller organization, which means that our donation goes a lot farther. Literally, we are very good friends with the executive director. We feel very, very confident about where the donations go. We know that’s always a question when you’re donating to a non-profit. So check them out and please donate. Joy: Please donate. And I just have fond memories of at the CrossFit Games doing the WOD in the middle of the whole eating area where they had the big Jumbotron. OUTWOD was able to do a whole workout and sit there for three hours and promote their organization and promote the OUT Foundation, and I remember that just being so much fun. It was really hot, but it was great. And remember when we bought the t-shirts. You could buy a t-shirt and a hat, and I still wear my hat all the time. I remember the t-shirts. I put the t-shirt on, and one of the guys was like, “You need to crop that.” They were just cropping everybody’s t-shirts. Claire: He just walked up with a pair of scissors.
