Lunch with the Clydesdale - Flippin it to the B-side Today... Goin' Back to Cali · Clydesdale Media Podcast

• 0:01
  Technology sucks.
• 0:03
  We're gonna talk about that next.
• 0:05
  Let's go.
• 0:18
  I love the chase and the hunt,
• 0:19
  and I set the pace when I'm running.
• 0:20
  I always take what I want,
• 0:22
  and I always give it one hundred.
• 0:23
  Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.
• 0:25
  Play the game like it's nothing.
• 0:26
  I'm always thankful for something.
• 0:28
  Don't take for granted, stay humble.
• 0:29
  Now wake up!
• 0:31
  It's time to look at the enemy.
• 0:33
  Look in the mirror if he is no
• 0:35
  friend to me.
• 0:37
  What is going on everybody?
• 0:39
  After multiple attempts on internet,
• 0:42
  we are live finally.
• 0:44
  Holy shit, dude.
• 0:50
  It hasn't been this bad in quite some
• 0:53
  time.
• 0:53
  I think from the day I joined in
• 0:55
  at the pool,
• 0:56
  it was like me and Dex and one
• 0:59
  other Masters guy.
• 1:00
  Yeah, yeah, Ryan Redkey.
• 1:04
  Yeah, with Ryan.
• 1:05
  Yeah, that was good stuff right there.
• 1:08
  Yeah,
• 1:08
  when your phone was overheating at the
• 1:10
  pool.
• 1:10
  He kept doing it over and over again.
• 1:13
  Yeah, Dex is frying pork chops.
• 1:15
  Yeah.
• 1:15
  Fantastic.
• 1:19
  Oh man.
• 1:20
  It's crazy.
• 1:21
  Cause now for some reason,
• 1:22
  every time I go downstairs,
• 1:24
  I lose the internet on the laptop and
• 1:26
  it will not connect to anything.
• 1:28
  And I don't know if it's something in
• 1:29
  the road caster, maybe connecting to that.
• 1:33
  I mean,
• 1:33
  cause I'm literally just the floor is the
• 1:36
  only thing between me and the,
• 1:37
  and the router.
• 1:38
  Yeah.
• 1:40
  Which makes no sense whatsoever.
• 1:40
  That shouldn't be a thing.
• 1:43
  It should not be.
• 1:46
  So, uh,
• 1:48
  We had a great talk yesterday.
• 1:49
  We're going to follow up on that a
• 1:51
  little bit now that I can actually see
• 1:53
  that.
• 1:55
  So I have internet.
• 1:59
  My laptop just doesn't want to connect to
• 2:01
  it when I'm down in the studio.
• 2:03
  All of a sudden, after six years,
• 2:08
  the last two days,
• 2:09
  it just will not hook up.
• 2:13
  So we're going to talk,
• 2:16
  we're going to follow up on that
• 2:17
  conversation a little bit,
• 2:17
  but some news hit yesterday and I had
• 2:20
  to go back in the office today for
• 2:22
  the first time in like maybe three years.
• 2:27
  I know it's been quite some time since
• 2:29
  you and I have had that conversation a
• 2:31
  bunch.
• 2:31
  Well, like,
• 2:32
  I haven't worked in the office in five.
• 2:35
  Right.
• 2:36
  Like, since COVID hit,
• 2:37
  I have not been back.
• 2:39
  Now,
• 2:39
  I had to go in for a meeting
• 2:40
  like three years ago, two years, three,
• 2:43
  two, I don't know.
• 2:44
  And haven't been back since.
• 2:47
  But it's funny because I had to go
• 2:49
  take my laptop from my work laptop in
• 2:52
  and have it changed out for a newer
• 2:53
  one.
• 2:54
  Because it's the same one I had when
• 2:56
  I left in two to twenty twenty.
• 2:58
  Oh, yeah.
• 3:02
  And I walk in and.
• 3:07
  And it's my buddy that I used to
• 3:09
  go to for all my IT needs,
• 3:11
  like that guy, you know,
• 3:13
  that you just became buddies with because
• 3:15
  under the table, he can fix your shit.
• 3:17
  Right.
• 3:19
  And now he's the head of IT.
• 3:20
  I mean, somebody's got to be.
• 3:24
  And so we got to hang out,
• 3:27
  talk a little bit today,
• 3:28
  which was really cool because I don't get
• 3:30
  that interaction anymore.
• 3:33
  Well, good.
• 3:34
  But that was fun.
• 3:36
  Now I'm back here for the rest of
• 3:37
  the day.
• 3:39
  Meredith, do I still have a desk there?
• 3:42
  I do not.
• 3:44
  They actually sold off all their
• 3:46
  buildings.
• 3:47
  And there's barely any spots left.
• 3:53
  And that's one of the reasons why I
• 3:55
  can't go back.
• 3:56
  There's no place to put us.
• 3:59
  Oh, darn.
• 4:02
  Oh, no, I can't go back.
• 4:03
  Oh, God, no, shucks.
• 4:08
  They keep trying to send my wife back.
• 4:13
  Someone please fill me in on the Dallin
• 4:14
  Colton thing.
• 4:15
  I'm lost.
• 4:17
  I didn't know there was a Dallin Colton
• 4:18
  thing.
• 4:18
  I know there's a Colton someone thing.
• 4:21
  In the comments, Dallin was like,
• 4:24
  just say my name, bro.
• 4:26
  But it's hard to tell if he's just
• 4:27
  being stupid,
• 4:29
  like messing around with him or not.
• 4:32
  Gotcha.
• 4:32
  Because Dallin said he would say his name,
• 4:37
  but he wanted to give the person an
• 4:39
  opportunity to say their piece before the
• 4:43
  call out.
• 4:44
  Correct.
• 4:46
  And I know Colton called somebody out.
• 4:51
  I find it hard to believe that it
• 4:53
  was Dallin who would refuse to follow him
• 4:56
  back.
• 4:57
  It might have been Dallin just,
• 5:00
  but who knows?
• 5:02
  There's no way.
• 5:03
  I just don't.
• 5:03
  He's too good of a kid, man.
• 5:06
  I just don't see that happening.
• 5:08
  Yeah.
• 5:10
  It's not his style.
• 5:11
  Yeah.
• 5:13
  Yeah.
• 5:15
  I found it weird that The Boys Interrupted
• 5:17
  went live this week without Dallin and
• 5:19
  didn't really say why.
• 5:22
  Because it came out like immediately after
• 5:25
  that,
• 5:26
  that he was that he had the rhabdo
• 5:30
  and couldn't go back to Rogue.
• 5:32
  Yeah.
• 5:35
  Vicky says I assumed it was Hopper.
• 5:38
  John George Hopper.
• 5:39
  That's who I assumed it was.
• 5:41
  They have like a little running tiff.
• 5:47
  But who knows?
• 5:48
  You know what?
• 5:49
  We've talked about this before.
• 5:50
  Good.
• 5:50
  Yeah, I don't mind it.
• 5:54
  Good.
• 5:55
  We have something to talk about,
• 5:56
  number one.
• 5:57
  Number two,
• 5:58
  everybody should not be friends with
• 5:59
  everybody.
• 6:01
  That's unrealistic.
• 6:03
  For everybody just to be, oh,
• 6:04
  when the behind the scenes thing that,
• 6:08
  what's his face did,
• 6:09
  when he's walking around asking everybody
• 6:10
  if they had a nemesis.
• 6:12
  And everybody, to a person, except Colton,
• 6:15
  was like, oh, no, not really.
• 6:17
  I'm just here, you know,
• 6:18
  I'm just here competing and blah, blah,
• 6:20
  blah.
• 6:21
  Which is nonsense.
• 6:23
  I'm going to tell you right now,
• 6:26
  it's bullshit because I get in the back
• 6:29
  when I'm at a competition.
• 6:30
  I know there's people there that I do
• 6:31
  not like and I want to crush.
• 6:35
  Period.
• 6:35
  You're not going to like everybody.
• 6:37
  That's just life.
• 6:39
  We talked about it yesterday.
• 6:41
  We all have rivals, right?
• 6:45
  I've said Todd was my rival when I
• 6:47
  first went into the CrossFit gym,
• 6:50
  and I wanted to beat him every single
• 6:52
  day.
• 6:52
  And I would strategize on how to hit
• 6:54
  the workout to be able to take him
• 6:58
  on.
• 6:59
  And it made me better,
• 7:00
  and it made me more successful,
• 7:03
  and all that.
• 7:05
  But before we get into the chip and
• 7:07
  all those things that we talked about
• 7:08
  yesterday –
• 7:10
  I want to talk about that San Jose
• 7:12
  was announced as the next location to the
• 7:16
  twenty twenty six CrossFit Games.
• 7:19
  So, twentieth anniversary.
• 7:21
  We're going back to Cali.
• 7:23
  Going back to Cali.
• 7:28
  I watched Amanda Harry's thing this
• 7:29
  morning.
• 7:30
  I actually texted her yesterday and told
• 7:33
  her that she is she's responsible now
• 7:35
  because she lives there to set up the
• 7:38
  trivia night for the media team.
• 7:43
  Hey, congratulations.
• 7:44
  I just gave you a job.
• 7:48
  But she actually lives in Oakland and she
• 7:51
  told me she's probably going to have to
• 7:52
  get a hotel just because of traffic.
• 7:56
  Oh, well, yeah, I could see that.
• 7:57
  Oakland up to San Jose,
• 7:59
  it's typically about forty five minutes,
• 8:01
  no traffic.
• 8:01
  But with traffic,
• 8:03
  she's going to have to be she's forced
• 8:05
  to kind of get a hotel.
• 8:07
  Well, I mean,
• 8:08
  I don't know how big San Jose is,
• 8:09
  but I know like Oakland in San Francisco
• 8:11
  is
• 8:12
  across the bay from each other two big
• 8:14
  really big places and i snapped it out
• 8:18
  so you have oakland and san francisco and
• 8:20
  then right below that is uh san jose
• 8:24
  so it's they're all on the bay in
• 8:27
  like a triangle got it got it so
• 8:30
  yeah that makes sense that's like what
• 8:31
  we're talking about with tristan the other
• 8:32
  day where if you're in houston you're
• 8:34
  still an hour from houston
• 8:36
  Like you can drive in a straight line
• 8:39
  and not be done.
• 8:40
  So, yeah,
• 8:41
  I could see that having to stay,
• 8:44
  not be able to stay at your house,
• 8:45
  even though the venue is forty five
• 8:47
  minutes from.
• 8:48
  I can see that.
• 8:50
  I could absolutely see that.
• 8:56
  I don't think it's a like or not
• 8:57
  like I think mentally when you're in the
• 8:59
  game, you just need a rabbit.
• 9:01
  It's just something to chase or try to
• 9:03
  run away from.
• 9:05
  I think with Colton, it's more than that.
• 9:07
  I think it's,
• 9:08
  it's that chip that we've talked about the
• 9:09
  last couple of days.
• 9:11
  Um, so I think,
• 9:17
  I think he has the chip on his
• 9:18
  shoulder and he wants to prove stuff.
• 9:20
  Um, so anyway.
• 9:22
  A hundred percent.
• 9:23
  Remember on the, uh,
• 9:24
  one of the old documentaries when they
• 9:26
  were talking about, uh, uh, uh,
• 9:30
  bridges talking about, uh,
• 9:33
  And they said he doesn't like being told
• 9:35
  he's the shortest and the oldest in the
• 9:38
  field.
• 9:39
  Like,
• 9:39
  I imagine after so many times hearing
• 9:41
  that, oh, yeah,
• 9:41
  Colton's five foot three or however tall
• 9:44
  he is.
• 9:44
  Like,
• 9:44
  that shit will wear on you after a
• 9:46
  while.
• 9:47
  And you're just like, you know what?
• 9:49
  F y'all.
• 9:49
  Yeah, I am.
• 9:50
  And watch.
• 9:51
  You know,
• 9:52
  that video he posted of him doing the
• 9:54
  thirty inch box clears and just casually
• 9:57
  jumping over the box,
• 9:58
  taking a couple steps,
• 9:59
  jumping over the box,
• 10:00
  just turn around and going like.
• 10:03
  Well,
• 10:03
  and I've said on this show a couple
• 10:05
  times that I don't think he can win
• 10:08
  the games.
• 10:08
  I think that the extra effort he has
• 10:16
  to put in to overcome his obstacles in
• 10:19
  a four- or three-day weekend is really,
• 10:23
  really hard and will make it hard for
• 10:25
  him to win the games.
• 10:28
  And other people can think I'm wrong,
• 10:30
  and that's fine.
• 10:32
  And I'm sure Colton thinks I'm wrong.
• 10:35
  But I still love the dude.
• 10:36
  Like, I want him to win the games.
• 10:41
  I can want him to do it and
• 10:43
  not think he can at the same time.
• 10:47
  It's just – I don't want to say
• 10:49
  being realistic because I think he can.
• 10:54
  Just because I know, like –
• 10:56
  For me,
• 10:57
  and I feel like for Colton as well,
• 10:59
  the more events there are,
• 11:00
  the better there is because it minimizes
• 11:03
  the things that you're really not that
• 11:04
  good at or can't be that good at
• 11:06
  because of your body type.
• 11:08
  I got short legs, long torso, short arms.
• 11:12
  I'm a horrible rower.
• 11:13
  It doesn't matter how much I work on
• 11:15
  it.
• 11:15
  I have to put out more effort than
• 11:18
  other people do when I row, period,
• 11:20
  to be able to keep up.
• 11:21
  Just a fact of life.
• 11:22
  It doesn't matter how strong I am.
• 11:24
  My pull is not going to be as
• 11:26
  long as somebody else's is.
• 11:28
  So I need more events to be able
• 11:30
  to minimize damage on that one,
• 11:32
  to be able to maximize my points on
• 11:33
  the other one.
• 11:34
  And I think Colton's a lot the same
• 11:36
  way.
• 11:37
  I think your advantage is, though,
• 11:39
  that in the Masters division,
• 11:42
  at the games,
• 11:43
  they don't get so over the top with
• 11:46
  the programming.
• 11:47
  Oh, yeah, absolutely.
• 11:49
  I'm never going to have to do a
• 11:51
  pit bull.
• 11:53
  Right.
• 11:54
  Like, that's not,
• 11:54
  that's not going to be a thing.
• 11:55
  I'm never going to have to do some
• 11:56
  of the crazy stuff that they've done.
• 11:58
  I would like to,
• 11:59
  I would look the obstacle course from what
• 12:03
  was it?
• 12:03
  Oh, of course.
• 12:03
  Twenty-nineteen with rescue Randy.
• 12:06
  Seventeen, eighteen.
• 12:08
  Something like that.
• 12:09
  Whichever one it was, I would love that.
• 12:11
  That looked fun as hell.
• 12:13
  Right.
• 12:14
  And that's a fitness test.
• 12:15
  Like we're going to run,
• 12:16
  we're going to go,
• 12:16
  we're obviously going to move stuff from
• 12:18
  here to there, blah, blah, blah, whatever.
• 12:21
  I would absolutely kill for stuff like
• 12:22
  that.
• 12:23
  But I also know that there's stuff that
• 12:25
  is in my training weekly,
• 12:27
  biweekly or whatever that I just skip over
• 12:30
  because in my division,
• 12:32
  I'm not going to need to know how
• 12:33
  to do that so I can spend more
• 12:34
  time working on the stuff that matters.
• 12:40
  Yeah.
• 12:43
  So Larry Young, four ninety nine.
• 12:45
  Thank you so much for that, Larry.
• 12:47
  All right, boys,
• 12:48
  what do we think quarter workouts will
• 12:50
  look like?
• 12:52
  I know Jay Burch is like in it
• 12:53
  a little early,
• 12:55
  but I think Larry's looking like how much
• 12:57
  time should he put into training this?
• 13:01
  Do do I actually do some fitness or
• 13:04
  just watch?
• 13:05
  It's not early if you're in my condition
• 13:08
  and need some time.
• 13:10
  Dude,
• 13:10
  he can talk about his condition all he
• 13:12
  wants.
• 13:12
  We follow each other on Instagram,
• 13:14
  and I've seen some of the stuff that
• 13:15
  he does, dude.
• 13:17
  Some of it's not pretty.
• 13:19
  Like his muscle-ups are baffling me every
• 13:21
  single time because they're basically like
• 13:23
  just strict bar muscle-ups.
• 13:25
  It's insane to watch.
• 13:27
  But he gets through them and then goes
• 13:28
  on to the next thing.
• 13:29
  So I don't want to hear about that.
• 13:31
  His pure raw strength is unreal.
• 13:34
  It's bananas, dude.
• 13:35
  It is absolutely bananas.
• 13:39
  And I understand how it got passed down
• 13:41
  to his son.
• 13:42
  Like that's genetics all the way through.
• 13:44
  You wonder why John Young is as strong
• 13:46
  as he is.
• 13:47
  Go follow Larry.
• 13:47
  Yeah.
• 13:50
  What I would say Larry needs to work
• 13:51
  on is mobility.
• 13:52
  A little bit.
• 13:55
  Work on mobility.
• 13:57
  And then I think the fitness will come
• 13:59
  in a little bit more.
• 14:02
  He is fit from what I can see.
• 14:04
  I mean,
• 14:04
  I've never had a chance to train a
• 14:06
  man.
• 14:06
  I'd love to.
• 14:08
  But his just raw strength and just the
• 14:11
  stuff that he does,
• 14:12
  every time I see some stuff,
• 14:14
  I shake my head and I laugh.
• 14:15
  It's fun to watch.
• 14:16
  It really is.
• 14:18
  Yeah.
• 14:19
  He is a unicorn in the strength department
• 14:21
  for sure.
• 14:22
  A hundred percent.
• 14:23
  A hundred percent.
• 14:28
  If Bob and Joe keep programming,
• 14:30
  just do machines and lift.
• 14:31
  Don't worry about moving well and having
• 14:33
  skills.
• 14:35
  So I don't know.
• 14:36
  Just so you know, John,
• 14:38
  John is a salty individual when it comes
• 14:41
  to the programming of the Masters games.
• 14:45
  I think him and Jamie are we're twins
• 14:48
  separated at birth.
• 14:49
  Yeah, I can believe that.
• 14:52
  I can believe that every time like
• 14:54
  something comes up,
• 14:54
  I'll text Jamie and I'll be like,
• 14:56
  what do you think about this?
• 14:57
  Oh, it sucks.
• 14:58
  And it doesn't matter.
• 14:59
  Right.
• 15:00
  doesn't matter what it is.
• 15:01
  Like, it could be something like, I mean,
• 15:03
  I'd probably be good at it.
• 15:04
  But I mean, it's just stupid.
• 15:05
  I'm like,
• 15:07
  this is why me and you were friends
• 15:08
  right here.
• 15:08
  PJ Slauson, Jaclyn, see you guys there.
• 15:13
  Corey better make it happen.
• 15:15
  And she's talking about the games.
• 15:17
  Yeah.
• 15:18
  I booked my hotel room yesterday.
• 15:22
  I got a really good deal.
• 15:24
  I don't know if the hotels were aware
• 15:26
  that this was announced because I thought
• 15:29
  I was going to have to pay a
• 15:30
  premium, and I got a really good deal.
• 15:32
  Good deal.
• 15:33
  Glad to hear it.
• 15:35
  So I think I snuck in and got
• 15:39
  a hotel room under the wire.
• 15:43
  So I'm at the airport.
• 15:44
  Amanda tells me it's three miles,
• 15:47
  three miles from the airport to the –
• 15:50
  Somebody was saying that during the –
• 15:53
  cases broadcast yesterday,
• 15:54
  like in the comments, they were saying,
• 15:55
  like, if you fly into San Jose, like,
• 15:59
  it's right there.
• 16:00
  Yeah, like, it's like, you basically,
• 16:02
  you can almost walk from there to the
• 16:04
  to the Larry,
• 16:07
  mine was cheaper than Albany,
• 16:08
  my to buy probably.
• 16:12
  Five hundred bucks.
• 16:13
  I probably saved.
• 16:14
  Yeah.
• 16:15
  Wow.
• 16:16
  That's substantial.
• 16:19
  The lens media only half mile away.
• 16:22
  that's great that's i hate saying shit
• 16:25
  like that's crazy because it always sounds
• 16:27
  like somebody's not actually paying
• 16:28
  attention but that actually is pretty it's
• 16:30
  that close to the year uh and he
• 16:33
  may be working for me at the games
• 16:34
  next year so just kind of see how
• 16:36
  big of a team they let me have
• 16:40
  when do they announce that kind of stuff
• 16:41
  like when you can apply for your video
• 16:43
  pass and shit probably not so after the
• 16:44
  first year it always seems way too late
• 16:47
  to me but
• 16:49
  Um, I'm looking at Airbnbs right now.
• 16:51
  Prices are really good.
• 16:53
  Uh,
• 16:54
  scud said you can walk there from the
• 16:56
  airport.
• 16:57
  Well, if you're scuds, you can, I mean,
• 16:59
  Alison is pretty damn fit.
• 17:04
  So, but excited about that.
• 17:08
  Excited about that.
• 17:09
  Um,
• 17:10
  it sounds like it's a really nice place.
• 17:12
  Um, and the prices are great.
• 17:14
  And, um,
• 17:17
  So I'm excited because I do think,
• 17:20
  I do think there's the opportunity to go
• 17:21
  outside a little bit.
• 17:22
  Maybe somebody was saying there's a, uh,
• 17:26
  some sort of park that's like right next
• 17:28
  door.
• 17:29
  Uh,
• 17:31
  so I was saying yesterday that like the
• 17:33
  ranch is.
• 17:34
  So you can almost expect to see like
• 17:40
  another trail run or something like that.
• 17:42
  Maybe cause they're saying, you know,
• 17:43
  Friday, Saturday, Sunday,
• 17:45
  But check-in's probably going to be on a
• 17:47
  Monday.
• 17:47
  Most athletes are going to be there all
• 17:48
  week anyway.
• 17:49
  So, oh, by the way,
• 17:51
  we're going to get everybody to the ranch
• 17:52
  on Thursday and do two events,
• 17:55
  three events, whatever the case may be.
• 17:59
  You know,
• 17:59
  Dave likes to do shit like that.
• 18:01
  But there it is,
• 18:02
  a twenty-three minute drive from the arena
• 18:04
  to the ranch.
• 18:07
  My internet's getting sketchy again.
• 18:10
  Of course it is.
• 18:13
  This is ridiculous, man.
• 18:16
  all right um you can take a the
• 18:20
  cal train from sfo airport to san jose
• 18:23
  if you're coming from farther away nice so
• 18:28
  that gives two airport options yeah yeah
• 18:35
  the ranch isn't far when we went to
• 18:37
  fitness freedom at the ranch i was shocked
• 18:39
  how close yeah so like i said that
• 18:43
  wouldn't
• 18:44
  And not just me, George,
• 18:46
  to the surprise of absolutely no one that
• 18:48
  we're going to have something over there.
• 18:51
  Well,
• 18:51
  Dave announced on that sport of fitness
• 18:54
  podcast that there's a twist coming either
• 18:57
  next week or the week after they're going
• 18:58
  to make the announcement.
• 19:00
  I'm assuming it's going to be,
• 19:04
  I'm assuming it's going to be at the
• 19:05
  ranch.
• 19:06
  Yeah.
• 19:07
  I think everybody is.
• 19:09
  That's what it was like.
• 19:10
  Just like so many people were calling it
• 19:12
  to be in San Jose and,
• 19:14
  Right.
• 19:15
  Everybody was like, Oh yeah,
• 19:16
  it's probably going to be insane.
• 19:17
  Cause they saw it.
• 19:18
  They had pictures of Dave walking around
• 19:20
  the stadium and whatnot.
• 19:21
  Like he was checking it out.
• 19:23
  Um,
• 19:23
  and then to the surprise of absolutely no
• 19:26
  one.
• 19:26
  Hey, yeah.
• 19:27
  By the way, it's in San Jose.
• 19:28
  Can we talk about how awesome Tia Claire
• 19:30
  to me is three o'clock in the morning.
• 19:35
  Yeah.
• 19:36
  She gets up, does her fate.
• 19:40
  Like,
• 19:40
  Because that's not,
• 19:41
  I just woke up two seconds ago phase,
• 19:43
  right?
• 19:43
  Does her stuff, gets up,
• 19:45
  and goes on there for five minutes just
• 19:47
  to be able to announce, hey,
• 19:50
  the games are going to be in San
• 19:51
  Jose.
• 19:53
  And I said it yesterday,
• 19:54
  and further cementing her spot as the
• 20:00
  greatest of all time,
• 20:02
  because who's doing that?
• 20:05
  Who is waking up?
• 20:07
  On the other side of the world at
• 20:08
  three o'clock in the morning because they
• 20:10
  asked you to for no other reason than
• 20:11
  the fact that, hey,
• 20:12
  would you mind coming and do this?
• 20:14
  Well, yeah,
• 20:14
  but I'm going to be at my place
• 20:15
  in Australia.
• 20:17
  Oh, well, you don't have to.
• 20:18
  No, it's fine.
• 20:19
  I'll just get up at three in the
• 20:19
  morning.
• 20:20
  I thought standing.
• 20:23
  Well, true.
• 20:24
  Well, yeah.
• 20:27
  Well, David Reed,
• 20:29
  wish it had been in Columbus.
• 20:33
  I would have, too.
• 20:35
  But that's very selfish of me.
• 20:38
  It is the twentieth anniversary,
• 20:41
  and it probably should go home.
• 20:43
  Yeah.
• 20:45
  I mean,
• 20:46
  we can all wish in one hand and
• 20:48
  poop in the other one and see which
• 20:49
  one fills up first.
• 20:50
  I'm sure you know how that's going to
• 20:52
  happen.
• 20:55
  She really is leading the community right
• 20:56
  now, and I'm super impressed.
• 21:01
  I just have a hard time with her
• 21:02
  content.
• 21:04
  all the clickbait they use,
• 21:05
  and then you watch fifteen minutes and
• 21:08
  nothing is said.
• 21:11
  Yeah, not a fan of that,
• 21:12
  but she is one hundred percent leading
• 21:15
  from the front.
• 21:19
  No announcement yet for age groups.
• 21:20
  Yeah,
• 21:22
  I think they're full press on the elites
• 21:25
  getting all that stuff out.
• 21:27
  So, Andrew,
• 21:29
  literally yesterday I was like this,
• 21:31
  like the entire time,
• 21:32
  hoping that Dave would say something about
• 21:34
  it, something about, I mean,
• 21:36
  we're going to have three semifinals for
• 21:38
  age group before we do the online last
• 21:41
  chance qualifier,
• 21:42
  whatever you want to call it,
• 21:43
  something like that.
• 21:44
  But in my heart of hearts,
• 21:46
  they weren't going to say a shit about
• 21:47
  us yesterday.
• 21:52
  That's just a fact.
• 21:53
  Not on the debut show.
• 21:54
  Nobody watches Masters but the Clydesdale.
• 21:57
  It was said in the chat yesterday.
• 21:59
  It'd be the only one to show up.
• 22:04
  Just like they're not going to talk about
• 22:06
  the Moscow Kettlebell League on the show
• 22:08
  either.
• 22:08
  Same thing.
• 22:12
  When we see it,
• 22:13
  Brian will be the only one to sit
• 22:14
  that one.
• 22:14
  In the
• 22:17
  The ultimate Frisbee league.
• 22:18
  Next week.
• 22:22
  I would expect something about it next
• 22:26
  week.
• 22:26
  You're about to get clipped again, Scott.
• 22:28
  Fifteen minutes and says nothing.
• 22:33
  I mean...
• 22:34
  I got to title a podcast this week.
• 22:38
  That's a fact.
• 22:40
  Which was... Dude, I laughed so much.
• 22:43
  I love... They could do...
• 22:45
  A whole series on just telling like old
• 22:48
  stories like that.
• 22:50
  Talk about Rich and them.
• 22:52
  Like that show was hilarious.
• 22:54
  Just all this different stuff they were
• 22:56
  talking about and like just how.
• 22:58
  Thrown together,
• 22:59
  all of that stuff was like.
• 23:03
  What it was sectionals back then,
• 23:05
  just literally just like, oh,
• 23:07
  we're out here in the grass doing
• 23:08
  thrusters every time or deadless every
• 23:10
  time you drop the barbell.
• 23:11
  By the time you finish,
• 23:12
  you're picking it up off your toes to
• 23:14
  get it off.
• 23:18
  I love Petty Rich.
• 23:23
  And, you know,
• 23:23
  I did say that they click baited me
• 23:26
  into a podcast that said nothing,
• 23:27
  absolutely nothing.
• 23:29
  It's a waste of time.
• 23:30
  And then he calls his show a waste
• 23:32
  of time.
• 23:33
  Like that is.
• 23:34
  You know what though?
• 23:35
  Petty Rich at his best.
• 23:37
  It shows he's paying attention.
• 23:39
  Yeah.
• 23:39
  Yeah.
• 23:43
  CJ says age group announcements is next
• 23:45
  week.
• 23:46
  Stay tuned to the WOD Prep Podcast.
• 23:49
  Hey, brother.
• 23:50
  I watch y'all every week.
• 23:53
  I was looking for y'all this morning on
• 23:55
  my way back from the pool,
• 23:56
  and y'all were not live today,
• 23:57
  so I imagine it's going on tomorrow.
• 24:00
  What's frustrating for me about the WOD
• 24:02
  Prep Podcast?
• 24:03
  Oh, here we go.
• 24:04
  Pay attention, CJ.
• 24:07
  Is I can't watch it live.
• 24:10
  It's on at eight a.m.
• 24:12
  where I'm at.
• 24:14
  When I get to work,
• 24:15
  that's when all the morning meetings are.
• 24:17
  And I get stuck in meetings and cannot
• 24:19
  watch it live.
• 24:21
  I got caught up on the one from
• 24:22
  earlier this week.
• 24:24
  Yesterday, I believe.
• 24:27
  Yeah,
• 24:28
  like I think after either before we did
• 24:30
  this or after the other one.
• 24:33
  No, it had to be before because.
• 24:35
  We went from us to chase to seven
• 24:41
  and then, uh, Pedro, like there was,
• 24:47
  there was content all day yesterday.
• 24:48
  It's good stuff.
• 24:49
  Yeah.
• 24:50
  Um, uh,
• 24:52
  CJ will be live all weekend at affiliate
• 24:54
  con, uh, interviewing all,
• 24:57
  a lot of the speakers.
• 24:59
  Sweet.
• 25:01
  I do want to like, gosh.
• 25:03
  Jason Ackerman, I used to despise.
• 25:09
  When I first got into CrossFit and kind
• 25:12
  of diving into the podcast scene,
• 25:14
  best hour of their day,
• 25:15
  I thought he was like so condescending.
• 25:20
  Then I met him live and I love
• 25:24
  the dude.
• 25:27
  I don't know why that didn't come across
• 25:29
  to me in the podcast,
• 25:31
  but when I met him live,
• 25:32
  we sat down and talked.
• 25:38
  We talked a lot the day I met
• 25:40
  him.
• 25:41
  And then I had him on the show,
• 25:44
  and he was a great guest.
• 25:46
  It was awesome,
• 25:47
  but I really didn't like him for a
• 25:50
  long time.
• 25:53
  He leans into it.
• 25:56
  As soon as he came on on Siobhan's
• 25:58
  show the other day with those yellow,
• 26:01
  orange, whatever glasses,
• 26:02
  everybody was lighting him up in the
• 26:04
  comments.
• 26:04
  He was just like, yep,
• 26:05
  I know they're stupid.
• 26:06
  I'm wearing them anyway.
• 26:08
  He was perfectly fine with it.
• 26:10
  He's really, really good at that.
• 26:11
  I can understand because if you just
• 26:13
  listen to him speak not knowing,
• 26:15
  he's very, very knowledgeable.
• 26:17
  He obviously knows what he's talking
• 26:18
  about,
• 26:19
  but it's just his tone half the time.
• 26:20
  He sounds like he's talking down to
• 26:22
  everybody.
• 26:24
  Turns out,
• 26:25
  Not really.
• 26:26
  He's kind of an asshole.
• 26:28
  That's fine.
• 26:30
  But he is very, very,
• 26:32
  he knows what he's talking about,
• 26:33
  and he's actually very,
• 26:33
  what's the one looking for?
• 26:35
  Insightful.
• 26:37
  Insightful.
• 26:37
  Self-deprecating, all that stuff.
• 26:39
  Self-deprecating, that's the word.
• 26:40
  Yeah,
• 26:41
  he bangs on himself as much as he
• 26:43
  bangs on anybody else.
• 26:45
  Absolutely.
• 26:48
  CJ says most people feel that way.
• 26:58
  Yeah.
• 26:58
  Oh, well, speaking of media reaction.
• 27:01
  I don't I don't want to take up
• 27:02
  a lot of time on this because it
• 27:04
  it is really taken up the whole week
• 27:06
  but like on every show like dense and
• 27:10
  savan and everybody saying that we were
• 27:12
  critical of a crash and I am baffled
• 27:17
  where they got that were critical of
• 27:18
  crash.
• 27:20
  The only thing we said is that we
• 27:23
  thought that Caroline Klutz deserved more
• 27:26
  media attention for what she accomplished.
• 27:29
  That was it.
• 27:31
  It had nothing to do with the programming.
• 27:33
  It had nothing to do with anything else.
• 27:38
  And.
• 27:39
  Yeah.
• 27:43
  And it's just frustrating that it has
• 27:47
  happened.
• 27:47
  However, our numbers are way up this week.
• 27:50
  So, like, I don't know, like,
• 27:52
  do I embrace it and just say, okay,
• 27:54
  criticize away, whatever.
• 27:55
  We'll just take it with a lump.
• 27:58
  But one comment got me,
• 28:00
  and it was we posted the reel talking
• 28:02
  about Caroline.
• 28:04
  And Bryson wrote,
• 28:06
  don't tell me what to care about.
• 28:11
  And I'm thinking,
• 28:11
  isn't that what podcasts are?
• 28:12
  That's what media is.
• 28:17
  When he does Shut Up and Scribble,
• 28:19
  isn't he telling me that I should care
• 28:21
  about squat depth and balanced
• 28:23
  programming?
• 28:28
  Whatever the topics are,
• 28:30
  that's what you're telling me you want me
• 28:32
  to care about as a podcaster.
• 28:33
  That's fantastic.
• 28:39
  So...
• 28:39
  I don't want to read tone into it
• 28:42
  because I don't know what Tony said it
• 28:46
  with.
• 28:47
  And so I don't know what it truly
• 28:49
  meant.
• 28:51
  When I read it, I was like,
• 28:53
  but isn't that what we all do?
• 28:56
  We all say what you should care about
• 28:58
  today by having a list of topics.
• 29:03
  Absolutely.
• 29:04
  And last time,
• 29:07
  horses is dead it hasn't been beat uh
• 29:10
  and beat all the hell and back it's
• 29:14
  an opinion and it's a honestly for what
• 29:18
  she did miss klutz did it's a valid
• 29:20
  opinion right and that's it everything
• 29:23
  else y'all said i watched the whole damn
• 29:25
  show was nothing but this is a was
• 29:28
  a fantastic broadcast uh bill and freaking
• 29:33
  john were awesome the camera shots were
• 29:35
  fantastic like
• 29:36
  And then, God forbid, oh, by the way,
• 29:38
  y'all, I mean,
• 29:39
  I can't believe they didn't.
• 29:41
  I, you, Carolyn, and Jamie said, I,
• 29:47
  each individually,
• 29:48
  can't believe they didn't mention Carolyn
• 29:51
  because of what she was doing.
• 29:53
  That's it.
• 29:54
  And I truly understand why they don't
• 29:56
  broadcast it.
• 29:57
  Like,
• 29:57
  I'm cool with it not being broadcasted.
• 30:00
  I just thought it was a storyline.
• 30:02
  That's all.
• 30:03
  Yeah.
• 30:05
  listen i've i've had like i literally when
• 30:09
  i'm in an event i have a battery
• 30:10
  in each pocket and my camera because like
• 30:13
  i'm just feeding batteries can you imagine
• 30:15
  how many battery changes they have to do
• 30:18
  to stream that event i would have loved
• 30:22
  to have known because i know some of
• 30:26
  the stuff they were doing like just
• 30:27
  getting ready their prep stuff and then uh
• 30:32
  Hiller's last behind the scenes this
• 30:33
  morning,
• 30:33
  and they were talking to Sousa about like,
• 30:37
  just put the whole thing together,
• 30:38
  like how much it costs and blah, blah,
• 30:40
  blah, whatever.
• 30:41
  And that's one of the things I was
• 30:43
  thinking about is just like having to,
• 30:45
  first of all, keep batteries charged,
• 30:48
  swap them out as needed and make sure
• 30:50
  that the ones that you swapped out get
• 30:51
  put back on the chargers,
• 30:53
  keeping everything rolling like that.
• 30:54
  Like that's a thing in and of itself.
• 30:58
  And
• 31:00
  I mean, they did phenomenal, dude.
• 31:01
  They did phenomenal.
• 31:04
  Mad props.
• 31:05
  Mad props.
• 31:06
  The whole thing was awesome.
• 31:08
  Yeah, and through that,
• 31:09
  I thought they were innovative with the
• 31:11
  picture-in-picture side-by-sides,
• 31:13
  which has been something I've been
• 31:16
  screaming to have for years,
• 31:18
  and they implemented better than anybody
• 31:21
  ever has.
• 31:22
  Here's what I was thinking about that.
• 31:23
  Sousa figured that out.
• 31:26
  He said it this morning.
• 31:27
  Right, on the fly.
• 31:28
  On the fly.
• 31:30
  Sousa is not a multimedia company with all
• 31:35
  these cameras and all these cameramen with
• 31:36
  their headsets where they can listen to
• 31:38
  people and whatnot.
• 31:40
  Sousa is a gym owner and the producer
• 31:42
  of the Salon Show and figured that out.
• 31:44
  And you mean to tell me that Hamilton
• 31:45
  Road can't do that?
• 31:48
  Amen.
• 31:49
  I have nothing else to add to that.
• 31:51
  And then the other thing that I loved
• 31:52
  is, I loved it,
• 31:54
  and Sivan said this in that video as
• 31:56
  well,
• 31:58
  having people sit down for the interviews
• 32:00
  right after.
• 32:01
  Like I found at Syndicate,
• 32:03
  when I had a place for them to
• 32:05
  sit down,
• 32:06
  I got a better interview when they got
• 32:08
  to sit down because they just finished a
• 32:09
  hell of a workout, right?
• 32:10
  Yeah.
• 32:11
  Trying to catch them on the fly on
• 32:13
  their feet.
• 32:14
  You're getting them out of breath and a
• 32:16
  lot of things.
• 32:17
  By having them come over and sit down
• 32:19
  and then having an honest conversation,
• 32:22
  you get a better interview that way.
• 32:24
  They killed those.
• 32:27
  The sweaty chair.
• 32:28
  Gotta love it.
• 32:30
  Gotta love it.
• 32:31
  I agree completely.
• 32:33
  The other action is still going on.
• 32:35
  If something happens on the floor,
• 32:36
  you can be like, did y'all see that?
• 32:40
  Knocked it out the park.
• 32:42
  Right.
• 32:45
  So with that,
• 32:46
  I want to announce that next Wednesday,
• 32:48
  you're getting bumped to another day.
• 32:51
  Caroline Klutz will be with me.
• 32:54
  On Wednesday?
• 32:54
  On Wednesday.
• 32:56
  Sweet.
• 32:58
  So we'll talk about what she did.
• 33:01
  And we'll talk about if she had a
• 33:04
  decision, if she did have a decision,
• 33:06
  whatever it was.
• 33:07
  Either way, it's her choice,
• 33:09
  one way or another.
• 33:10
  Would it have been cool for her to
• 33:11
  do Indy?
• 33:12
  Sure,
• 33:13
  but it would have been one less person
• 33:14
  in the Massachusetts women division.
• 33:19
  Ultimately, she competed.
• 33:20
  She competed her ass off.
• 33:22
  She won her division.
• 33:24
  Like, good for her.
• 33:28
  Yeah.
• 33:30
  Yeah.
• 33:33
  So anyway, there's that.
• 33:35
  Yesterday we talked about the chip on the
• 33:37
  shoulder.
• 33:38
  I just wanted to revisit that a little
• 33:39
  bit.
• 33:41
  You've had twenty four hours to marinate
• 33:43
  on the whole thing.
• 33:47
  We started it with you have a chip
• 33:49
  on your shoulder.
• 33:49
  You want to make the CrossFit Games as
• 33:51
  a master's athlete at the age of fifty.
• 33:54
  You have a chip on your shoulder.
• 33:55
  You have receipts in your phone.
• 33:58
  And that's what motivates you or is one
• 34:01
  of our motivators.
• 34:02
  Yeah.
• 34:03
  That's part of what motivates me.
• 34:04
  I wouldn't say that's my,
• 34:06
  my one hundred percent thing,
• 34:07
  but I want to be the absolute best
• 34:12
  that I can be with, with,
• 34:13
  with the skills that, you know,
• 34:15
  God has given me.
• 34:15
  So the other stuff is just stuff that's
• 34:20
  added in, right?
• 34:23
  Like the, the,
• 34:25
  the stuff that's already in me.
• 34:28
  you know, all these memories,
• 34:30
  emotions and whatnot that are still just
• 34:31
  deep seated in me that used to be
• 34:34
  a detriment, right?
• 34:36
  That used to drive me.
• 34:40
  And this is something I've been thinking
• 34:41
  about too,
• 34:41
  is that it had been very easy for
• 34:42
  me.
• 34:43
  And it was in my early, you know,
• 34:47
  late teens,
• 34:47
  early twenties to turn that into something
• 34:49
  negative.
• 34:51
  And then as I've gotten older and the
• 34:53
  more,
• 34:54
  especially since I've started CrossFit and
• 34:55
  then just learned about mindset and
• 34:58
  all that kind of stuff, to take it,
• 35:02
  all this negative energy,
• 35:04
  all this negative stuff that's in my head,
• 35:06
  and turn it and use it as fuel.
• 35:11
  And I understand what Dickey was saying
• 35:15
  yesterday about what you do when it's not
• 35:18
  there anymore.
• 35:20
  And I said it yesterday,
• 35:21
  and I stand by it today,
• 35:23
  is that it doesn't go away.
• 35:27
  your memories and your emotions that are
• 35:30
  tied to those memories and whatnot,
• 35:31
  that's a part of you forever, right?
• 35:34
  It's not something that you can delete.
• 35:37
  And I wouldn't want it if I could.
• 35:38
  I wouldn't want them to go away if
• 35:39
  I could because it's made me who I
• 35:41
  am today.
• 35:43
  So the fact that I've, at some point,
• 35:47
  I don't want to say turned a corner
• 35:49
  because it's not always positive,
• 35:50
  but I don't know a better way to
• 35:52
  put it,
• 35:53
  turned a corner to the point where I
• 35:54
  can use it as fuel
• 35:58
  Like,
• 36:00
  I don't really want it to go away
• 36:02
  because I see it in a different light
• 36:04
  now and I can use it to get
• 36:09
  me up and get me going and,
• 36:12
  for lack of a better word,
• 36:13
  to fuck some people up on the floor.
• 36:18
  You can't delete it,
• 36:19
  but you can release it.
• 36:21
  Release the emotion attached to it,
• 36:23
  I guess.
• 36:24
  Yeah, and I think that's...
• 36:29
  We're saying a version of the same thing,
• 36:32
  Vicky,
• 36:32
  because releasing that emotional
• 36:34
  attachment for me is burning it off.
• 36:40
  Using it as fuel, burning it off.
• 36:43
  Larry says,
• 36:44
  John told me I lost my fire like
• 36:46
  ten years ago.
• 36:47
  I'm like, bro, I got old.
• 36:53
  So I told a story about how
• 36:57
  CrossFit, in my perception at that moment,
• 37:00
  got pulled away from me when I needed
• 37:03
  it most.
• 37:06
  I went to pull a deadlift.
• 37:10
  I was probably over training at the time.
• 37:12
  My back went.
• 37:15
  had to go in for twelve different
• 37:16
  procedures from there to whenever.
• 37:19
  And at the time I was coaching and
• 37:22
  I was an athlete at the gym and
• 37:25
  the owner of the gym asked me to
• 37:28
  step down as a coach and to work
• 37:31
  on this myself,
• 37:32
  get myself right and then come back.
• 37:37
  There's been comments that they asked me
• 37:41
  to leave.
• 37:43
  They didn't ask me to leave.
• 37:45
  They just didn't want me to coach anymore.
• 37:48
  And because I was in a spiral at
• 37:51
  the moment,
• 37:53
  because I didn't understand what Vicky was
• 37:55
  talking about with neutral,
• 37:58
  I had positive and negative,
• 37:59
  and I didn't have that middle road to
• 38:01
  go to.
• 38:03
  I took it as completely negative.
• 38:05
  And I felt like they were asking me
• 38:07
  to leave.
• 38:08
  They did not ask me to leave.
• 38:10
  They asked me to stop coaching and get
• 38:12
  better before I continued to coach.
• 38:18
  But I felt like I had done so
• 38:21
  much for them.
• 38:22
  I felt like they were leaving me off
• 38:24
  on my own to fix it.
• 38:27
  And not like you were the person that
• 38:30
  helped me get from five hundred and thirty
• 38:31
  pounds to two hundred and sixty pounds.
• 38:34
  And now that I'm hurt,
• 38:35
  you won't help me anymore.
• 38:36
  Right.
• 38:38
  Like that's how I felt.
• 38:41
  And and again,
• 38:43
  it was the mindset that she talked about
• 38:45
  of going from positive to neutral as
• 38:50
  opposed to going positive to negative.
• 38:53
  And.
• 38:56
  it's made me think a lot um since
• 38:58
  she sent me uh her podcast on that
• 39:01
  and um and truly and here's jody uh
• 39:08
  thanks for the clarification on that
• 39:09
  because she did ask me about it my
• 39:12
  perception made it way worse than it
• 39:14
  really was
• 39:16
  It didn't help that the owner had never
• 39:19
  been through this before.
• 39:20
  He was a young business owner.
• 39:22
  You know,
• 39:22
  they don't teach business school to
• 39:26
  trainers.
• 39:27
  And he didn't know what words to use.
• 39:33
  Yeah.
• 39:34
  When I probably needed it more than
• 39:36
  anything.
• 39:37
  Yeah.
• 39:38
  And what's funny is Kelly Clark and I
• 39:39
  talked about it on Tuesday night and she
• 39:43
  said the same thing.
• 39:44
  Like it is her job as a coach
• 39:47
  to make sure that nobody ever walks out
• 39:49
  that door feeling like this isn't a place
• 39:52
  for, for help.
• 39:54
  And if she gets the sense that you're
• 39:56
  walking that way anyway,
• 40:01
  she will grab you because if you take
• 40:04
  too many steps away,
• 40:05
  you're never coming back.
• 40:07
  Yeah.
• 40:15
  So CJ and Dents have been going at
• 40:17
  it.
• 40:18
  We are arguing in Scott's living room.
• 40:21
  I missed the first ten minutes.
• 40:26
  So back on the other subject.
• 40:28
  You felt abandoned because the story you
• 40:29
  had previously built up in your head based
• 40:32
  on old experiences.
• 40:33
  So the story had roots and therefore
• 40:35
  clouded your perception before he even
• 40:38
  said what he did.
• 40:40
  I think the one thing I'll say to
• 40:42
  that, Vicki,
• 40:42
  is if he would have came up to
• 40:44
  me and said, hey,
• 40:47
  we've worked together and we've conquered
• 40:49
  so much.
• 40:51
  I just need you to take a step
• 40:52
  away from coaching so we can get that
• 40:54
  focus on you again.
• 40:57
  I think would have changed everything for
• 40:59
  me in that moment.
• 41:01
  But there's a saying that in the military
• 41:07
  that save yourself first.
• 41:09
  You can't save yourself.
• 41:10
  You can't save anybody else.
• 41:13
  You had took the first step, right?
• 41:15
  Lost a linebacker, like we said yesterday,
• 41:17
  two hundred thirty pounds.
• 41:18
  And then.
• 41:20
  Back injury,
• 41:21
  having some setbacks at that point.
• 41:24
  Yeah.
• 41:25
  Like you said,
• 41:26
  if he had just phrased it where, hey,
• 41:28
  let's let's work back on saving you again
• 41:30
  before to make you whole so that you
• 41:33
  can save yourself.
• 41:35
  Because he had a proof of concept.
• 41:37
  It was him and I that lost the
• 41:39
  linebacker, right?
• 41:40
  Yeah.
• 41:42
  And maybe he doesn't look at it that
• 41:43
  way.
• 41:43
  Maybe he looks at it like I took
• 41:45
  the bulls by the horn and kept showing
• 41:47
  up.
• 41:47
  But in my eyes,
• 41:48
  I felt like he was guiding me down
• 41:50
  that path.
• 41:51
  And to me, it was together.
• 41:54
  And when he said,
• 41:55
  you go do your thing and take care
• 41:58
  of yourself, it felt like, hey,
• 42:00
  go do this alone.
• 42:01
  Yeah.
• 42:11
  Oh, I get it.
• 42:12
  A hundred percent.
• 42:12
  I agree,
• 42:13
  but you would have heard it that way.
• 42:16
  If the story in your head was different
• 42:18
  to begin with is all I'm saying.
• 42:19
  Yeah.
• 42:22
  Not debating Vicki,
• 42:23
  just having an open conversation about it.
• 42:26
  Cause I,
• 42:27
  I still fight the demons of that moment.
• 42:32
  And,
• 42:32
  and I left that gym because every time
• 42:35
  I walked in, I felt like a failure.
• 42:40
  And, and I don't, and that,
• 42:42
  that made it really hard for that to
• 42:44
  be my solution.
• 42:47
  Yeah.
• 42:47
  Even though you didn't do anything wrong.
• 42:51
  Right.
• 42:51
  You feel like a failure to yourself.
• 42:53
  You feel like you let other people down
• 42:54
  because now I'm hurt and I can't do
• 42:56
  this.
• 42:56
  And now they don't want me to coach
• 42:57
  because I'm hurt and I can't do this.
• 43:02
  Yeah.
• 43:03
  And all the posters they had of me
• 43:05
  in my before and after pictures taken
• 43:07
  down.
• 43:09
  And now I'm walking into this building.
• 43:14
  And then there's all the memories of what,
• 43:17
  what I could do before the back injury.
• 43:20
  Right.
• 43:21
  And so then all of that is just
• 43:23
  like this.
• 43:25
  I felt like a failure and that's why
• 43:26
  I left that gym.
• 43:29
  primarily to go and went to Polaris.
• 43:34
  And like Vicky said right there,
• 43:35
  and it just spirals.
• 43:37
  Yep.
• 43:39
  It's easy to do, man.
• 43:40
  Once that shit starts getting in,
• 43:43
  it'll pile up and it'll pile up and
• 43:44
  it'll pile up and it'll pile up.
• 43:46
  And it can be hard to get rid
• 43:48
  of, you know,
• 43:50
  or to brush off or just however you
• 43:52
  want to look at it,
• 43:53
  to just move forward in a positive light
• 43:56
  after that.
• 43:59
  Larry Young.
• 44:00
  It definitely,
• 44:00
  it's definitely easier with a buddy,
• 44:02
  but I kind of feel, but I,
• 44:04
  but it's kind of hard to find a
• 44:06
  fifty-two-year-old peeps with similar
• 44:07
  mindsets.
• 44:09
  I wasn't looking for a buddy.
• 44:11
  I was looking for a coach.
• 44:14
  So, his name's Marcus.
• 44:16
  He's a great coach.
• 44:17
  He's the one that helped me lose the,
• 44:20
  all the weight,
• 44:22
  the two hundred and seventy pounds,
• 44:24
  and
• 44:26
  He didn't ever work out with me.
• 44:28
  He just coached me.
• 44:30
  He just checked in on me.
• 44:32
  He did all those things.
• 44:34
  And that's what I felt like was kind
• 44:37
  of taken away.
• 44:39
  Unfortunately,
• 44:40
  I feel like it's a common issue among
• 44:41
  coaches not knowing how to help dealing
• 44:43
  with injury when it happens.
• 44:49
  I know for us at Virtus, anytime somebody,
• 44:54
  you know,
• 44:55
  and it happens often because it doesn't,
• 44:56
  but somebody happens to get injured,
• 45:00
  to have an injury,
• 45:00
  whether it happens inside the gym or
• 45:02
  outside, we tell them, look, come back.
• 45:08
  As soon as you are able to,
• 45:10
  come back because we will, it's my job.
• 45:14
  when I'm on that floor to figure out
• 45:16
  a way to make whatever we're doing that
• 45:18
  day work for you.
• 45:20
  I don't give a shit.
• 45:21
  If you got one good leg,
• 45:23
  one good arm, no,
• 45:26
  like we will figure something out.
• 45:28
  That is not,
• 45:28
  that is not that big a deal.
• 45:30
  I think the comeback is great,
• 45:32
  but I think,
• 45:34
  I think it has to go a step
• 45:35
  further to let them know you're,
• 45:39
  you're there with them.
• 45:41
  And that's the piece I think that
• 45:43
  sometimes gets lost in that conversation.
• 45:47
  You know, it's easy to say, Hey,
• 45:48
  just come in and hang out with the,
• 45:50
  come see everybody do the, you know,
• 45:52
  but Hey,
• 45:53
  come in and we'll see what you can
• 45:55
  do.
• 45:55
  We'll see if,
• 45:56
  if you can sit on a bike,
• 45:57
  we'll see if we'll make a list of
• 45:59
  the things you can do.
• 46:01
  Yeah.
• 46:04
  A hundred percent.
• 46:06
  Like I'm not interested in what you can't
• 46:07
  do.
• 46:08
  I'm way more interested in what you can
• 46:09
  do.
• 46:10
  You lost your support system.
• 46:12
  Yes, I did, Jay Birch.
• 46:16
  So this is in addition to what Freda
• 46:17
  had already said.
• 46:19
  They're great if you go in there already
• 46:21
  injured.
• 46:22
  If you walk in the door,
• 46:23
  and I agree with that,
• 46:23
  if you walk in the door injured,
• 46:25
  they have a plan.
• 46:27
  But when you get injured during the
• 46:30
  process,
• 46:31
  they don't always necessarily know what
• 46:33
  that means, how to handle that.
• 46:37
  Vicki,
• 46:37
  I am extremely grateful that my first
• 46:39
  coach and my new coach, CJ,
• 46:41
  are awesome with handling injuries and
• 46:43
  creating a situation that I don't spiral
• 46:45
  like that while also healing the injury.
• 46:50
  I think the complication to this was if
• 46:53
  it was an injury that I could have
• 46:55
  overcome in six weeks,
• 46:57
  I would have been fine.
• 46:59
  But this was an injury that through the
• 47:02
  insurance system and through everything,
• 47:04
  I had to keep trying different procedures
• 47:07
  till the main one took, right?
• 47:10
  And every time I thought I was over
• 47:12
  it, my body failed again.
• 47:14
  And then my body failed again.
• 47:17
  Because the first back injury was lifting
• 47:21
  a laundry basket.
• 47:23
  The second one was dead lifting a bar.
• 47:26
  The third one was just...
• 47:29
  going shoulder to overhead, right?
• 47:30
  Like it, and it was,
• 47:33
  it's because it never, ever got fixed.
• 47:37
  Yeah.
• 47:38
  And so after another,
• 47:39
  after another repeated thing that kept
• 47:42
  happening,
• 47:45
  but we don't have to stay on the
• 47:46
  negative because I'm going to,
• 47:49
  I'm about ready to kick some ass.
• 47:51
  What's she, what did he say about CJ?
• 47:55
  I mean, he's a PT.
• 47:57
  So in addition to being,
• 47:59
  and I'm pretty sure he's an L three.
• 48:01
  So in addition,
• 48:03
  you put those two things together and
• 48:04
  like,
• 48:05
  he's going to fix or do his damn
• 48:07
  just to fix whatever, you know,
• 48:08
  give you the tools I should say to
• 48:11
  fix whatever it is that's broken to get
• 48:13
  you back healthy and,
• 48:14
  and doing all the things you want to
• 48:15
  do again.
• 48:17
  He is a good dude.
• 48:19
  Yeah.
• 48:20
  I saw him at the masters games with
• 48:22
  his athletes.
• 48:24
  He's he's freaking amazing.
• 48:29
  um meredith i have a bad back myself
• 48:31
  horrible injury so frustrating yeah the
• 48:34
  thing is i think i got the back
• 48:36
  fixed like i'm good there it's the now
• 48:39
  we got to get through the other stuff
• 48:40
  yeah between your sinuses and your lungs
• 48:44
  and you forget that respiratory system the
• 48:46
  whole breathing is important as it turns
• 48:49
  out i could see cj being a great
• 48:52
  coach he's super passionate and gets
• 48:54
  invested yes
• 48:56
  And then also like J.Y.,
• 49:00
  he is right when he isn't.
• 49:08
  Got to love when the dad speaks.
• 49:10
  Absolutely.
• 49:12
  To be fair,
• 49:13
  I could watch John Young do just about
• 49:16
  anything and it would be entertaining
• 49:18
  because that dude is a character in and
• 49:20
  of himself.
• 49:22
  He is.
• 49:24
  He is.
• 49:25
  That's why he's on so many shows, man.
• 49:28
  The senior analyst.
• 49:31
  Just don't take scores during the
• 49:34
  broadcast, man.
• 49:35
  Can we not do that?
• 49:36
  That'd be fantastic.
• 49:38
  I like the way Tyler just lit into
• 49:39
  it.
• 49:40
  Dude, what are you doing?
• 49:41
  Yeah.
• 49:45
  That was fantastic.
• 49:48
  Yeah,
• 49:48
  I think the spin behind the scenes is
• 49:50
  probably more interesting than the one
• 49:52
  they put out to the public.
• 49:55
  I bet.
• 49:56
  I bet those conversations,
• 49:57
  like once you hit, you know,
• 49:59
  we're not broadcasting anymore.
• 50:02
  I can't even imagine.
• 50:03
  I can't even imagine.
• 50:05
  John is passionate.
• 50:08
  He sure is.
• 50:09
  About everything.
• 50:12
  Like,
• 50:13
  It doesn't matter what it is.
• 50:14
  It could be his grocery list.
• 50:15
  Like I'm going to get chicken today.
• 50:18
  Like he would be yelling it at the,
• 50:19
  at the screen.
• 50:20
  It doesn't matter what it is,
• 50:22
  which is why.
• 50:23
  Yeah.
• 50:26
  From his father was the worst.
• 50:36
  Oh goodness.
• 50:38
  Yes.
• 50:38
  Guilty face was definitely the worst.
• 50:40
  Uh,
• 50:43
  That threw me off.
• 50:44
  I forgot what I was fixing to say.
• 50:45
  But yeah, his body language, yeah,
• 50:47
  was absolutely everything.
• 50:50
  It's fantastic.
• 50:50
  Vicky,
• 50:50
  I'm waiting for the day they accidentally
• 50:52
  forget to turn off the stream,
• 50:53
  but it's not.
• 50:56
  As long as Brian is there, they're good.
• 51:00
  But if like Sven can't make it for
• 51:01
  whatever reason,
• 51:02
  he's on vacation and they go live anyway,
• 51:04
  that's when that's going to happen.
• 51:06
  I feel like Brian's got his finger on
• 51:07
  a don't button,
• 51:08
  like ready to kill it at any given
• 51:11
  point.
• 51:11
  Them other...
• 51:15
  That's a lot of what happened.
• 51:17
  We did it one time.
• 51:20
  Way back.
• 51:21
  Yeah.
• 51:22
  Way back.
