Lunch with the Clydesdale - Cajun Wednesday | Penn State and LSU both in Ranked Battles · Clydesdale Media Podcast

0:37
What is going on, everybody?
0:38
How y'all are?
0:41
It's Gage Wednesday.
0:44
You got Corey with us.
0:45
What's going on, brother?
0:47
Same old stuff, brother.
0:49
Just a different day.
0:51
Just a different day.
0:54
Well,
0:54
I was just setting up for the show.
0:55
We got Mark here.
0:56
We got Megan here.
0:58
Good to see them in the chat.
1:00
And I saw something on Instagram that I
1:03
wanted to share.
1:05
It popped up literally like a minute and
1:07
a half ago as I was setting up.
1:09
And I just have some words.
1:12
You have my attention.
1:14
Here we go.
1:17
So CrossFit Games put this out.
1:20
Have you seen this?
1:24
standard standards and it's just a bunch
1:26
of judges no repping at the crossfit games
1:32
on the surface i think this is a
1:34
great video the standard is the standard
1:37
right so i've been told what i want
1:41
to say is and this just this doesn't
1:43
go straight to crossfit if you are an
1:46
event organizer or you are the crossfit
1:49
games
1:50
Put your judges in the best place to
1:53
succeed.
1:56
Say it again.
1:58
Put your judges in the best place to
2:01
succeed.
2:02
And that means don't change the standard
2:05
last minute.
2:07
Make sure you clearly tell the judge what
2:10
the standard is so that everybody's on the
2:14
same page.
2:18
This means a lot more if we all
2:21
know what the standard is.
2:24
If you know what the standard is,
2:26
then the standard is the standard.
2:29
If you got to guess at what the
2:30
standard is, then we got some problems.
2:35
Make it clear.
2:37
Make it concise.
2:38
Make it the thing.
2:39
Like, it's not that hard to do, dude.
2:42
It's really not that hard to do.
2:43
If you let it open for interpretation.
2:46
That's what's going to happen.
2:48
You're going to have one lane doing it
2:50
one way,
2:50
another lane doing it another way,
2:52
and then we got all kinds of hell.
2:56
My first ever individual comp,
2:59
I did intermediate.
3:00
This was in probably twenty nineteen.
3:03
Actually,
3:03
we are not far from Mark on the
3:05
North Shore over there is North Shore
3:07
Games or one of those.
3:09
And we had to do bar facing burpees.
3:11
OK, we had.
3:16
rubber mats that were placed out on the
3:17
floor and the place that they had rented
3:19
they didn't anyway you're supposed to be
3:23
facing the bar when you come down right
3:25
everybody kind of gets on a little bit
3:27
of an angle because you're trying to go
3:29
faster and i got no repped five times
3:34
i had five extra burpees because one of
3:36
my feet came off of the rubber mat
3:38
that i was on and if you look
3:40
down the line
3:42
To where literally everybody else that was
3:45
going the same time I was,
3:46
was doing the exact same thing that I
3:48
was doing.
3:48
And I was the only one who got
3:51
hit for it.
3:53
I didn't argue at the time.
3:55
I just saw it.
3:55
It was a partner comp.
3:57
So I could see it happening.
4:01
And I was like,
4:02
why are you yelling at me?
4:03
And nobody else was getting yelled at.
4:05
I don't know.
4:06
And that's a,
4:08
I don't care if you note rep me,
4:10
but everybody else should be getting the
4:11
same treatment.
4:15
Um, as well,
4:17
they need to tell the broadcast what the
4:19
standard is so they can tell the
4:21
community.
4:24
Yeah.
4:24
I find it infuriating.
4:28
You know, Kat and I used to,
4:29
when Kat and I were first going to,
4:30
to semifinals, um,
4:34
And we were both former judges.
4:36
And what we're seeing on the floor would
4:38
be a no rep.
4:39
And then I would grab like a head
4:41
judge that I knew from my time there
4:43
and say, what is the standard on that?
4:45
And they would say X to Y to
4:48
Z. And I'd go, oh,
4:50
now I get it.
4:51
Yeah.
4:54
But because you're not telling anybody or
4:55
making it public what the standard is,
4:58
then everybody just guesses.
5:01
what the standard is.
5:03
Now there are things that we all know,
5:05
squat below parallel.
5:08
Oh, cat's in the chat.
5:09
Nice.
5:09
Yeah.
5:12
Um, squat below parallel, you know,
5:14
full extension, all those things.
5:17
We all know those ones,
5:19
but there are so many movements that the
5:21
standard can change like a burpee over a
5:24
bar.
5:25
What, what are we doing over the bar?
5:28
Everybody knows.
5:31
Nobody knows.
5:32
That's the whole problem.
5:34
It's changed.
5:35
I see.
5:37
So my first open was twenty nineteen.
5:39
So nineteen, twenty, twenty one,
5:41
twenty two, twenty three, twenty four,
5:43
twenty five.
5:43
So, yes, six opens.
5:45
And every time something's changed as far
5:47
as Burberry's over the board is concerned.
5:49
Oh,
5:49
now you can do now you can do
5:51
like the kind of hop over there.
5:53
Very hot type deal.
5:54
Oh, no, don't do that.
5:58
a broadcaster should be required to attend
6:00
the athlete briefing,
6:01
like the athletes and judges.
6:03
I agree.
6:05
And make sure that at a time where
6:09
the, where the broadcast team can attend,
6:12
like at the games, when they do these,
6:14
like we're going to do this event and
6:17
now we're going to have the athletes come
6:18
in and everybody out of the arena.
6:20
And we're going to do the next briefing.
6:23
And that's the only break the broadcast
6:24
team gets for the day.
6:26
That's come on.
6:26
Yeah.
6:27
Well,
6:29
I mean, at the very least,
6:30
gives them a copy of the standards.
6:34
So Kat and I used to try to
6:36
sneak into the athlete briefings.
6:38
Yeah.
6:39
Into the top row to get what we
6:41
could from that.
6:44
I'll be honest.
6:45
She tried to do it way more than
6:46
me.
6:48
Like she was all into going into those
6:50
athlete briefings.
6:51
After being a judge and being forced to
6:53
sit through them all those years.
6:55
And all the questions and all the
6:57
questions and all the questions.
6:59
Like I was less inclined to do it,
7:00
but she forced my hand and we would
7:03
go listen to the athlete brief.
7:05
And then we knew at least what the
7:06
athletes were told.
7:07
Yeah.
7:10
So whatever ends up on the floor,
7:11
at least like you said,
7:12
at least at that point, you know, well,
7:13
this is what they were told as opposed
7:15
to this is what they were doing.
7:16
Well,
7:16
this is what was allowed as opposed to
7:19
what was told.
7:20
Because those two things aren't always the
7:21
same thing either.
7:23
But even with that,
7:24
how many times have we heard, well,
7:26
we were in the corral and Dave said.
7:30
Yeah, dude,
7:32
there's a one on one of the documentaries.
7:36
They got a picture of Pat and Matt
7:40
in the corral.
7:40
And like,
7:42
it might be Chuck that was talking to
7:44
him.
7:44
It's one of the judges and telling them
7:46
what they need to do.
7:47
And he's and Matt's going, yeah,
7:49
but nobody else has done that since
7:50
they've been out there.
7:52
So we don't really have to.
7:54
Yeah, but nobody's done it.
7:56
That's a perfect example.
7:57
That's a big game.
7:59
That's not a semifinal.
8:00
That's not any of that.
8:01
That's the actual games where you're
8:03
going,
8:03
but we don't really have to because nobody
8:05
else has done it so far.
8:06
So why are you even bothered to tell
8:08
us this?
8:10
Mark Moss,
8:10
one time I had a judge know repping
8:12
women for throwing the wall ball too high.
8:15
I was like,
8:15
what on earth are you doing?
8:18
Well,
8:18
they weren't hitting the female target.
8:20
Yeah,
8:20
throwing it too high is a disadvantage in
8:23
itself.
8:25
You don't need to throw a no rep
8:30
in there for that as well.
8:31
But I just saw that,
8:33
and those thoughts came over me,
8:35
and I was like, you know what?
8:37
I like the messaging,
8:39
but make sure your in-house stuff is good
8:42
too.
8:47
You can't go throwing stones if your house
8:50
is not in order.
8:52
Right.
8:52
That's a hard fact.
8:53
Yeah.
8:54
And then if we know the standard,
8:56
then Hiller knows to attack the athlete or
8:58
to attack the event organizer.
9:00
Right?
9:02
Whichever one he's fixing to do.
9:04
Either attack the stupid rule or attack
9:06
the athlete for not hitting standard.
9:10
That way you know.
9:11
Hard to call out both.
9:13
It is a stupid rule,
9:14
and they're still not admonished.
9:16
They're still not following the stupid
9:18
rule.
9:18
Right.
9:19
They're not adhering to the stupid rule.
9:21
It is a stupid rule,
9:21
but it is the rule.
9:23
It is.
9:26
All right.
9:28
So did you guys see Laura's post?
9:33
I have not.
9:35
I saw Hiller's response to Laura's post.
9:40
I think I've seen Hiller's response as
9:42
well.
9:42
Yeah, but I have absolutely no idea.
9:45
And look, I don't care.
9:49
I read the post and I was like,
9:54
I am so anti-passive aggressive.
9:56
Like,
9:57
if you're going to say something about
9:59
somebody, just say it.
10:01
Call them out.
10:02
Do whatever you got to do.
10:03
Are we talking Horvat?
10:06
Yeah.
10:08
She must have pulled it.
10:10
Wouldn't surprise me.
10:16
Yeah, I don't see anything.
10:18
I know what you're talking about.
10:23
So anyway,
10:25
I saw my man Joseph up here.
10:29
We are Penn State.
10:32
It is one hell of a college football
10:34
schedule this weekend.
10:36
Both of our teams ranked versus ranked.
10:40
What time is y'all game?
10:43
Seven thirty.
10:45
What time is yours?
10:47
Three thirty in the afternoon.
10:50
Yeah, we got the night game, the whiteout.
10:52
Two ranked teams, highly ranked teams,
10:56
I should add,
10:57
playing at three thirty in the afternoon.
11:00
Two thirty central,
11:01
so four thirty your time, whatever.
11:03
That makes no sense whatsoever.
11:05
They asked Lane Kiffin about it and he
11:08
said, if we'd be playing at LSU,
11:09
it would be at six-thirty.
11:11
He said, if we'd be playing at Georgia,
11:13
it would be at six-thirty.
11:14
They do this to us all the time.
11:17
He said, it's because it's in Mississippi.
11:20
Well,
11:21
I hate big noon kickoff because now Fox
11:24
gets the big prime game at noon.
11:26
I don't want my game at noon.
11:28
I want the night game.
11:29
I want
11:31
I want to like get all marinated all
11:33
day, get sauced up, get ready to go.
11:36
And I'm not, you know,
11:37
I haven't drank in a long time.
11:39
So we've been talking about that way.
11:41
I'm just like,
11:42
I want to get into a lather for
11:43
the game.
11:44
Yeah.
11:45
And, and that,
11:47
and the big new kickoff is just ruined
11:49
that for me.
11:50
I also want to be able to do
11:51
the things that I would normally do on
11:53
a Saturday and not have to worry about,
11:55
Oh, well shit,
11:56
I got to get back home because kickoffs
11:57
at three thirty in the afternoon.
11:59
Like that is bananas.
12:00
Crazy.
12:01
So for those of you who don't know,
12:03
don't follow the code,
12:04
LSU is taking on Ole Miss.
12:08
And both teams are ranked at three thirty
12:11
or four thirty our time on Saturday.
12:13
And then at seven thirty,
12:15
Penn State is taking on Oregon.
12:19
And it was the Big Ten championship game
12:20
last year and it was a shootout.
12:25
One touchdown difference at the end.
12:27
We were on the losing end of that.
12:31
Hoping not to be this year.
12:34
So.
12:36
Well, this year.
12:38
And that doesn't even account for Georgia,
12:40
Alabama.
12:43
This year.
12:45
Yeah, no kidding.
12:46
This year, Whit Weeks,
12:48
captain of our defense,
12:49
is dating Lane Kiffin's daughter.
12:52
I saw that.
12:57
So the linebacker of LSU is dating Ole
12:59
Miss's head coach.
13:03
So I live here in Columbus.
13:06
Back in the day,
13:07
you remember Brady Quinn when he
13:09
quarterbacked Notre Dame?
13:10
Yep.
13:12
Everybody know who A.J.
13:13
Hawk is?
13:15
Yeah.
13:15
On the Pat McAfee show,
13:18
he was a linebacker for Ohio State.
13:21
His sister married, or no, A.J.
13:25
Hawk married Brady Quinn's sister.
13:26
Oh.
13:30
I was not aware of that.
13:31
Yeah.
13:37
Strong move.
13:38
Yeah.
13:38
Strong move.
13:39
They have like seven million kids.
13:42
They came to our church one time and
13:45
it like took a while for them all
13:46
to check in the kids.
13:50
But he is one large dude.
13:52
Oh, I'm sure.
13:56
Biggest man I've ever seen in person,
13:58
well, I say biggest,
14:00
one of the two biggest men I've ever
14:01
met in person was,
14:05
used to block for Dalton Hilliard,
14:09
the old Joe Notto back when Dalton was
14:12
still at LSU way back in forever.
14:13
He took up an entire doorway.
14:16
They have a staffing service for like
14:18
construction people.
14:19
And I was in,
14:20
I was at McDermott in orientation that
14:23
morning and the door opened
14:25
he had to put his head down up
14:29
underneath the door to kind of get in
14:30
he didn't come all the way in the
14:31
room and you couldn't see anything behind
14:32
him kind of looked around and the lady
14:35
that was giving orientation said what's up
14:37
joe you need something you wanted to make
14:39
sure my dude was in here when that
14:42
old boy that he was looking for backed
14:44
on out the door and closed it and
14:45
you never could see light behind it the
14:47
largest man i've ever met in my entire
14:48
life uh mark moss i met thor at
14:51
rogue it was wild
14:53
So Thor is wild,
14:55
and I've met him as well.
14:56
He's just really tall and big.
15:00
But for pure thickness,
15:03
Brian Shaw is like block out the sun.
15:06
Yeah,
15:07
Brian Shaw looks like he has his own
15:08
gravity.
15:08
Yeah, it is.
15:11
I saw him sit at a normal-sized table
15:13
at a restaurant,
15:15
and it looked like an end table.
15:21
Supposedly,
15:21
Shaquille O'Neal is like that as well
15:23
because he is also like seven foot nine
15:27
foot four or whatever.
15:28
He's ginormous and three hundred pounds.
15:31
Yeah.
15:32
So that's what Thor's like six eight and
15:36
he's like four hundred pounds.
15:37
But when you're six eight,
15:38
it gets spread out a little bit more.
15:40
Yeah.
15:40
And Shaw's like six two.
15:42
Right.
15:43
And like four fifty.
15:45
And so like the width is like much
15:49
greater.
15:49
Yeah.
15:51
And he had so many pancakes and so
15:54
many eggs on that table.
15:57
He would have swore like an entire family
15:58
was eating and it was just for him.
16:05
Bro.
16:06
Jay Bertie,
16:06
I saw Brian at Cork and Barrel and
16:07
Round Rock after Rogue one evening.
16:10
Yeah, he is one.
16:10
There's no chair big enough.
16:17
You know what I mean?
16:20
Yeah.
16:20
Like, nope, I can't sit in that one.
16:21
I'm going to need you to get me
16:21
something.
16:22
When he sat on the chair,
16:23
it looked like a footstool.
16:24
Yeah.
16:26
Sitting like this.
16:28
Just kind of perched up on it.
16:30
Hoping it doesn't fall over.
16:34
I mean,
16:34
I used to do security for the Arnold.
16:37
And I got to meet all those guys.
16:39
Mark Henry.
16:40
Like,
16:40
those guys are just massive human beings.
16:44
they make CrossFitters look like tiny
16:46
weebles.
16:48
Well,
16:49
pretty much everybody I meet makes me feel
16:51
like that.
16:51
So it's not a big deal.
16:52
Yeah.
16:56
So I wanted to pose a question to
16:57
you because right at the end of the
16:59
show yesterday,
17:00
someone popped into the comments and they
17:03
asked me, um,
17:06
Mark Moss, they don't need security.
17:08
So really I was there for the
17:09
bodybuilders.
17:11
And the reason the bodybuilders need the
17:12
security is they dehydrate themselves to
17:14
the point where they don't even know where
17:16
they are.
17:18
They haven't eaten in three days.
17:20
Really.
17:20
It is like,
17:21
it's just hurting them together.
17:24
So they don't wander off lost in the
17:26
crowd.
17:27
And if you've never been to the Arnold,
17:29
it is a massive crowd.
17:31
Like getting through that crowd is awful.
17:34
Yeah.
17:36
That's who we really were worried about.
17:39
Yeah.
17:42
Herding kittens at that point.
17:45
Exactly.
17:46
Exactly.
17:47
That is it on the nose.
17:49
So yesterday at the end of the show,
17:50
someone jumped in the comments and said,
17:53
is Alexis Raptus now the new Bethany
17:56
Flores?
17:56
Yeah.
17:59
Because of all the injuries,
18:02
all the stomach issues, all the...
18:07
and that bethany had gone through those
18:09
forever and both are uber talented but is
18:15
is all of that restricting them from
18:18
reaching their full potential and you're
18:24
saying no no i don't think so at
18:26
all i really really don't i don't think
18:30
i think people
18:34
Did Bethany ever reach her full potential?
18:36
How would we know,
18:37
one way or the other?
18:39
Right?
18:40
She didn't.
18:41
When she was good, she was extremely good.
18:44
Right?
18:44
Top ten, possibly top five,
18:47
depending on what they did.
18:47
When she was great,
18:48
she got COVID at the games.
18:50
Correct.
18:50
I was about to say,
18:51
the year that it looked like it was
18:53
really lined up for her,
18:55
she didn't get to compete.
18:58
So, but like what Mark said,
19:01
how old is Alexis?
19:02
I still feel like she's
19:04
Yeah, she's in her twenties.
19:04
I think Jamie's right, about twenty-six.
19:06
Okay.
19:07
She's still got a pretty high window as
19:11
far as that goes.
19:12
The illness thing,
19:13
she has nothing she can do about it.
19:14
The fact that she is as fit as
19:15
she is while dealing with that is
19:20
mind-blowing to me.
19:22
The injuries, we can clean up.
19:25
I mean, that's...
19:27
I don't believe people...
19:31
I don't think the injuries are as severe
19:32
for Alexis at this point.
19:34
Like Bethany Shadburn,
19:36
or what was Shadburn, now Flores,
19:39
she broke her back in gymnastics before
19:41
she ever set foot on a crossroad floor.
19:43
Correct.
19:45
And the damage that was done back then,
19:48
she probably was dealing with her entire
19:50
career.
19:52
I wouldn't even say probably, dude.
19:53
From a couple people I've known,
19:55
which is not a whole lot of them,
19:56
two or three that have actually broken
19:58
their back, it's never the same.
20:01
Ever.
20:02
So the fact that she got it as
20:04
good as she did while she was going,
20:07
while she was still active or whatnot,
20:10
it's almost magical.
20:13
Right?
20:17
I feel like
20:20
if it weren't for the back injury she
20:21
would have podiumed yeah i would i would
20:24
i could i could see that two top
20:26
ten finishes um not shabby like definitely
20:32
a decent career she was always in it
20:35
she's always a factor she's always it's
20:38
kind of like a team that uh that
20:40
your your your team plays and they're just
20:42
hanging around the entire game waiting for
20:44
waiting for their moment to do something
20:46
Never out of it.
20:48
Never out of it.
20:49
Nothing but mad respect for Bethany.
20:53
Mark, did Matt break his back?
20:55
He did.
20:58
It all depends on where in the spine
21:01
the break happens.
21:02
The severity of it.
21:05
What actually broke inside of it because
21:06
the spine is made up of several different
21:09
places.
21:10
There's a whole lot of stuff that goes
21:11
into it.
21:11
I think Matt broke his when he was
21:13
very young as well.
21:18
Yeah,
21:18
because I think Matt was more upper back.
21:21
Yeah.
21:21
Like closer to the neck where Bethany was
21:24
more lower back,
21:26
which affects everything because I've been
21:28
through all of that.
21:29
Right.
21:29
If you had to pick one,
21:33
you'd probably want upper back as opposed
21:35
to lower.
21:36
And Shanna, who is a doctor,
21:38
also what part of the vertebrae breaks?
21:40
There it is.
21:44
Katie Schaefer,
21:45
I think Alexis and Sarah are a better
21:47
comparison.
21:50
I hope not.
21:55
I hope that Alexis gets over this,
21:58
figures out everything,
22:00
and is able to compete and put together
22:02
some pretty good performances.
22:05
What Sarah was was great off the get-go.
22:09
Like,
22:09
she could have won the games two years.
22:11
The Tia, Katrin, Sarah years, the sixteen,
22:14
seventeen.
22:15
Yep.
22:16
Any of those three could have won.
22:19
Or it's fifteen, sixteen.
22:22
Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen.
22:23
Fifteen, sixteen, for sure.
22:24
Tia.
22:25
Yeah.
22:26
But Sarah,
22:29
if Sarah doesn't try to do the pegboards
22:31
like Katrin didn't try, she may have won.
22:37
She was right there.
22:41
She was literally right there,
22:43
but I don't think her mindset allowed her
22:45
to,
22:48
I don't want to say strategic because she
22:49
just literally skipped the pegboard that
22:51
bothers me to this day.
22:53
Like she got credit for not doing work.
22:56
Yeah.
22:56
And I,
22:57
and I would not call Sarah a strategist.
23:03
Not at all.
23:04
Not at all.
23:05
Yeah.
23:05
Yeah.
23:08
How often in sports has someone with a
23:10
promising future been cut short due to
23:12
injury?
23:13
So many.
23:16
You can't cut...
23:19
People on people on people on people on
23:21
people.
23:22
That's absolutely...
23:24
Bo Jackson was my favorite athlete when I
23:27
was a kid.
23:29
What that meant to do in every sport
23:31
was freaking phenomenal.
23:34
And the fact we were robbed...
23:37
from what it could have been just was
23:40
crushing to me someone tried to tackle him
23:44
and he pulled his own hip out of
23:46
socket pulling the dude along yeah what
23:53
what even is that the dude that he
23:56
threw out from the warning track when he's
24:00
playing baseball
24:02
And old boy still says he had to
24:04
have a cutoff.
24:05
No, he did not.
24:06
It's on a frozen rope straight.
24:10
Who does that?
24:12
Find somebody that does that today.
24:13
They don't.
24:16
Who climbs a wall like Spider-Man to make
24:18
a catch?
24:23
Just run up the wall.
24:25
And it looked casual.
24:27
I mean, it was fast,
24:28
but it just looked and it came right
24:30
on back down.
24:35
And Joseph said,
24:35
would Bethany have finished where she did
24:37
in two thousand nineteen if they didn't
24:38
make all the cuts that year?
24:43
I think that she actually got hurt.
24:45
I think the back actually went out once
24:47
they made it to the ten and then
24:49
she just kind of wrote it out to
24:50
the end.
24:51
So probably not a top ten finish if
24:53
there's even twenty in the finals.
24:56
But the fact she made it there against
24:57
that field when so many big names got
25:01
cut.
25:03
You have to respect what she went through.
25:05
Because that was more than just a physical
25:07
games.
25:07
That was a mental games.
25:10
Because one bad performance and all of a
25:11
sudden you're out at the cut at forty
25:14
or thirty.
25:15
Look at the when they did the sprints.
25:18
All the people that got cut.
25:19
Like that's when Sarah got cut.
25:21
That's when Brooke Wells, Brent Fikowski.
25:24
Like a lot of people did that were
25:28
podium contenders.
25:29
You know, however you want to call it.
25:31
But
25:32
That whole game was wild, front to back.
25:37
Looking back,
25:38
I didn't hate that style of games.
25:40
I didn't hate having someone from every
25:42
country come and the chaos that ensued
25:45
after that.
25:46
I hated the cut to ten so early
25:50
and that we went out.
25:51
I think it should have cut to twenty
25:53
and then played out to the end.
25:56
I didn't hate the way that that games
25:58
went.
26:00
No.
26:03
So Ben Smith getting his invitations to
26:07
get Ben Tent.
26:08
And then as my friend and one of
26:11
my training partners,
26:12
fellow coaches at the gym, Aaron, said,
26:15
that first event,
26:16
watching Ben wade through the mass of
26:18
humanity
26:20
Cause he was in the first heat and
26:22
just show everybody that was there.
26:24
That was like, Hey, cool.
26:26
I'm glad you made it here.
26:27
I'm glad you're a national champion or
26:29
whatever,
26:29
but this is how this is actually done.
26:32
Like that was fun to watch.
26:33
That was absolutely fun to watch.
26:35
Well,
26:36
I liked that they invited Hunter and that
26:37
he got to go in and compete and
26:40
they got to see it because,
26:41
and then as I mentioned his name,
26:46
I only hit it because I wanted Hunter
26:47
around for the entirety.
26:50
I mean, that's fair.
26:51
He got a shot.
26:52
All you had to do.
26:56
He made it as the first, it's the,
26:59
uh, he's the handstand walk that got him,
27:03
which you would think that would not be
27:04
what would get him.
27:05
But yeah, the, it was, uh,
27:06
what was it?
27:08
The kettlebell push press or whatever.
27:11
Double kettlebell push press.
27:12
I remember what it, something else,
27:13
something else.
27:14
And then handstand.
27:14
Well,
27:15
I think that's the one that he got
27:16
caught on.
27:18
Uh, Kenneth, he couldn't clean.
27:21
Yeah.
27:21
Katie Schaefer has some good questions.
27:23
Would Brooke ever have podiumed if she
27:25
didn't injure her elbow?
27:27
I think that year she was actually in
27:29
the running to podium.
27:32
It would have probably come down to her
27:33
and Annie.
27:36
I've seen that video.
27:37
I can't.
27:39
More times than I've ever wanted to.
27:42
Once was too much.
27:44
Just seeing it happen.
27:47
I saw it.
27:47
So Brandon Luckett, my coach, programmer,
27:52
he did almost the exact same thing
27:53
happened.
27:53
His looked just as bad.
27:55
It was terrible.
28:01
But I think she could have that year.
28:04
Who knows what would have happened after
28:06
that?
28:06
But I think she could have that year.
28:09
Then she asks,
28:10
do we like the field of thirty or
28:12
forty?
28:13
I don't mind either.
28:15
I'm a CrossFit nerd.
28:16
I can sit through four heats.
28:18
I can sit through three heats.
28:19
My biggest complaint has been that we
28:23
don't get the right people to the games.
28:27
This is supposed to be the world
28:29
championships.
28:30
So it should be the best of the
28:32
best.
28:34
I want the best thirty or the best
28:36
forty.
28:37
I don't care about the number.
28:39
Give me the people that are the best.
28:45
I will say I like how they did
28:46
it this year.
28:46
I was good with it.
28:52
I'm the same way, dude.
28:53
I like Forty.
28:54
I'm also a geek when it comes to
28:58
that.
28:58
I will watch the early heats.
29:02
The early heats this year would have had
29:04
people I knew in them.
29:05
right uh so like that would have been
29:08
fun to watch hey i know that guy
29:10
hey i know that guy watch him go
29:11
watch him do what they can so like
29:14
oh that's a good one from katie yeah
29:17
i was gonna ask you what your impressions
29:19
were of the new season we talked about
29:21
it sunday night um do we like the
29:24
quarterfinals are back yes
29:29
So that's a two-sided answer for me.
29:33
I absolutely like that they're back.
29:35
I don't like that I have to do
29:36
them.
29:37
That's another step of online stuff.
29:40
I'm going to have to record all of
29:41
my stuff and make sure it's all good
29:43
and whatnot.
29:46
I think top twenty five percent is a
29:49
wild number to add.
29:53
I think fifteen probably would have been
29:55
back to back to top fifteen would probably
29:57
been a whole lot better.
30:00
I'm going to say an unpopular thing here.
30:02
If twenty five percent gets more money
30:04
into the pot for the athletes at the
30:06
end.
30:06
Right.
30:08
And I'm cool with twenty five percent.
30:11
Most of those people in the other ten
30:13
percent of your fifteen aren't going to be
30:15
competing for the top anyway.
30:17
And it's an achievement that they can say,
30:20
hey,
30:20
I finished in the top seventy fifth
30:22
percentile or better in the CrossFit game
30:26
season this year.
30:28
It's just a bragging point for those
30:30
athletes right there.
30:31
But who cares if they're doing a money
30:35
grab?
30:36
I don't.
30:38
The athletes in the sport and the prize
30:40
purses are better.
30:41
Then go for it.
30:44
Now, I will say this, too.
30:47
Caroline's point that she's been making
30:48
for however many years now,
30:50
that your score should just carry on the
30:53
entire time.
30:55
I am one hundred percent in favor of
30:56
that.
30:57
I think that makes way more sense.
31:02
Vindicate.
31:02
Twenty five percent is to keep community
31:04
interest.
31:05
I agree.
31:06
Yes, absolutely.
31:07
Engage in the gym that they accomplish
31:10
something.
31:13
And I will agree with you on the
31:14
Caroline Caroline thing.
31:17
Combine the scores from the open and the
31:20
quarterfinals.
31:21
And I truly feel in the age groups,
31:23
you don't need to do semis.
31:26
If you have seven balanced scores through
31:29
the open semifinals.
31:31
That's a pretty complete test.
31:33
You can then go to the games.
31:36
That's a pretty complete test, right?
31:38
Right.
31:39
But what happens is they get to the
31:43
semifinal test,
31:45
and you're either repeating something or
31:48
it becomes very biased because you've
31:49
already done something.
31:51
Mm-hmm.
31:53
I think if you had a more balanced
31:54
test out of seven scores,
31:56
it's actually going to get you a better
31:57
field at the games than the way it's
32:00
been done over the past few years.
32:03
Last year was like that for semifinals for
32:05
us.
32:06
Like we repeated some stuff.
32:08
We did some, you know,
32:10
did some stuff that we had already did
32:12
in the, in the open.
32:14
The more burpees over the dumbbell for
32:15
some ungodly reasons,
32:16
like still ain't figured that part out
32:18
yet.
32:19
Didn't care for it.
32:20
Still did it.
32:21
Still going to do it.
32:21
Doesn't matter what it is.
32:22
I'm still going to like the test is
32:23
there.
32:24
The test is what the test is.
32:25
So you're going to find me out there
32:28
doing it.
32:29
It is.
32:30
I will say this.
32:31
If you combine.
32:33
You know, like like Carolyn's been saying,
32:35
you combine the two scores together.
32:37
Now the open means something again.
32:40
Because now you know that if you do
32:42
well enough,
32:43
you're going to add these scores to the
32:45
next set of them.
32:48
Because I can walk through the Open for
32:52
three weeks and be in the top percentage
32:54
that I need to be in to make
32:56
quarterfinals.
32:57
I don't have to try very hard.
32:59
I can go and do them once.
33:02
But if the scores count,
33:04
for the next stage,
33:06
you can bet your ass,
33:07
now I'm going full tilt boogie the entire
33:10
time.
33:12
You want to make it matter?
33:13
That just made it matter.
33:15
Way more than it did if, you know,
33:17
if, oh, well, that's cool.
33:19
You moved on.
33:20
Those scores are gone here.
33:21
Now we're going to worry about these
33:22
scores.
33:23
And then we go from quarterfinals to
33:25
semifinals.
33:25
Okay, well,
33:26
those scores don't matter anymore.
33:27
And now we're going to semifinals.
33:32
You know, I love the chat.
33:34
They're great at segues.
33:35
Yeah.
33:38
The French throwdown is moving to Paris
33:39
next year.
33:40
Makes me think it might be a semi
33:41
for Masters too.
33:43
One thing I know that you have been
33:44
texting me about is that you want to
33:49
do your semifinal in person and not
33:52
online.
33:54
And it was announced that there was going
33:56
to be some in-person semifinals next year
34:01
for the age group divisions.
34:06
First of all,
34:08
Barbell Spin clipped the show Sunday night
34:11
with me in it.
34:12
And a lot of people don't understand what
34:14
I was saying.
34:16
I didn't clip it.
34:18
Right, yeah.
34:19
Blame Brian.
34:20
It was the inside joke that I was
34:22
saying there was a rumor.
34:24
That's what he was trying to get at.
34:25
But we were talking about this very thing.
34:28
About that...
34:32
This is about that there are in-person
34:34
semifinals available now for Masters
34:36
divisions.
34:38
So when someone else posts my clip,
34:41
I didn't clip it.
34:42
No.
34:44
Don't tell me to spit it out.
34:46
If you go back to the show,
34:47
it's all there.
34:51
Yeah.
34:51
Thanks, Brian.
34:55
So what I was saying was that there
34:59
is a rumor out there of one of
35:03
the semifinals for age groups,
35:06
and it's not an existing semifinal.
35:08
It's a new semifinal specializing in age
35:12
groups.
35:16
That would be dope.
35:17
That would be dope.
35:17
Here's the thing.
35:18
So this is why, in my opinion,
35:20
that would be fantastic is because if you
35:23
–
35:24
The Mayhem Classic.
35:25
If you try to add Masters to the
35:27
Mayhem Classic,
35:30
and I've never been to Mayhem,
35:31
but just seeing that now you can't do
35:33
it at Mayhem.
35:34
It's going to have to be somewhere else.
35:35
You just can't.
35:36
You just can't.
35:38
Not to have more than,
35:39
would you have five people there per
35:41
division?
35:42
That still adds a ton of people.
35:45
I understand.
35:46
I wonder if we heard the same rumor.
35:49
Probably, I'm guessing probably,
35:51
since you're tight in that community as
35:53
well.
35:56
Mr. Stan, the judge's judge.
35:57
And he'll probably just verify that the
36:00
rumor's true.
36:01
Yeah.
36:02
So if you have...
36:04
Because the two major Masters competitions
36:07
are in October and December between MFC
36:11
and Legends.
36:11
So either you're moving those or something
36:15
else brand new is going to have to
36:17
pop up, which...
36:19
Us as masters absolutely are for another
36:23
opportunity for us to compete in person.
36:25
Please, let's do that.
36:27
Let's absolutely do that.
36:29
I know Jamie's in the chat elevating her
36:31
hip right now.
36:33
I know that woman would rather compete in
36:35
person every day of the week and twice
36:37
on Sunday.
36:38
Yes, she would.
36:42
One, just the setup of the damn camera.
36:45
And we know that you are terrible at
36:47
that.
36:49
it's i'm not it's not my rule follower
36:52
online no and let me let me say
36:56
this too line us up and let us
37:00
go because if i'm going in my gym
37:02
i i'm going as far as i think
37:04
i should i'm going i'm probably going to
37:07
be a little bit more conservative because
37:09
oh well if i mess it up maybe
37:11
i got a chance to do it again
37:12
you know i got a chance to do
37:13
it again i can wait a couple hours
37:14
and then just do it again i'll read
37:15
an hour whatever the court course is
37:18
Live and in person, bro.
37:19
We going.
37:22
Well, you.
37:23
Myself included.
37:26
Well, we will do.
37:28
Someone's going to black out like she
37:31
literally does that every.
37:34
Dude, every event.
37:36
At most of the games that the Sunday
37:38
morning,
37:39
I put my earbuds in before or or
37:41
last event.
37:42
I didn't talk to anybody for thirty five
37:43
minutes.
37:44
And we've met, right?
37:46
That's not, like, I was ready to,
37:49
I just,
37:51
I left everything I had right there on
37:53
the floor.
37:54
It's still in Kansas at the Oberlin Park
37:56
Convention Center.
37:58
Because I was ready to just, let's rock.
38:01
Like, let's see what's what.
38:05
Mark Moss,
38:05
line us up and let us go.
38:07
Gives the same vibe as grip it and
38:09
rip it.
38:10
Yeah.
38:13
Yeah.
38:16
and not just us actually elites what they
38:18
rather do aside from brent fukowski no
38:21
excuse me i got that backwards brent's
38:25
better in person name one person who would
38:27
rather do it online at their own gym
38:29
as opposed to going and competing in
38:31
person i know of people that would and
38:34
i'm not naming names because i think that
38:39
there are people that would rather be on
38:40
their bar
38:42
on their pull-up station with their
38:44
barbell with their,
38:46
and they're just good at that.
38:49
And being able to do it three or
38:50
four times.
38:52
Yeah.
38:52
Right.
38:53
When it's in person, one shot, one shot,
38:56
baby,
38:56
one opportunity to grab everything you
38:59
ever wanted.
39:04
Absolutely.
39:07
Oh yeah.
39:08
No.
39:08
Yeah.
39:08
Ronica is a hundred percent correct.
39:11
Ron told me she ran by you in
39:12
the run one and was like, let's go.
39:14
And you were like, nah,
39:17
that was the most miserable experience
39:20
I've had competing since I've been
39:21
competing.
39:22
I will.
39:23
One hundred percent.
39:24
That's I checked out.
39:26
I absolutely checked out on that one,
39:28
which is why I've been running once a
39:29
week since I got since I got that.
39:33
Amanda Feller's question.
39:34
If you see Jason Grubb signed up for
39:36
one of the in-person comps and they give
39:38
just the winner a spot,
39:40
how many in his division are signing up
39:42
to come?
39:48
I competed against him before.
39:49
I'll go again.
39:50
I'm not scared of him.
39:52
He's just a dude.
39:52
He is incredibly fit.
39:55
No question about it,
39:56
but I am one hundred percent lined up
39:58
next to him.
40:00
And we don't know what the number is,
40:02
right?
40:03
What's that?
40:04
We don't know what the numbers are.
40:05
So like for thirty five to forty four,
40:08
thirty five to forty four,
40:09
there's thirty spots.
40:11
So you have more numbers to play with.
40:13
As you go up and those numbers get
40:15
smaller, like forty,
40:17
forty five to fifty four,
40:18
you have twenty spots.
40:20
Now you have less to give out, probably.
40:22
Yeah.
40:24
And when you go even higher to the
40:25
fifteen and the ten, man.
40:30
may not even give a spot to like
40:32
that.
40:32
Seventy plus may have to be online.
40:34
It's only ten people.
40:35
Yeah.
40:37
That pool is a lot smaller to pull
40:39
from as well.
40:46
Yeah.
40:47
If this weekend taught us anything,
40:48
it's that anyone is beatable.
40:51
If you had on your bingo card last
40:53
place finish for Tia Claire Toomey.
40:54
Nobody did that.
40:59
But that's my thing, dude.
41:01
That's why I'm a big fan of line
41:03
us up and let's see what happens.
41:05
Who's got a better plan?
41:06
Who's fitter?
41:08
Who's more mentally locked in at that
41:10
point?
41:11
You don't know what's going to happen.
41:13
And you cannot be scared as a competitor
41:15
to step on the floor against whoever.
41:17
Because if you are,
41:18
there's no use being out there.
41:22
At this elite level,
41:23
if you don't have the belief in yourself
41:24
that you can beat anybody on any given
41:26
day,
41:28
you you're probably not going to be
41:30
successful no you need to go find
41:32
something else to do so that was a
41:39
good chat yeah man uh chris beechfield in
41:43
the house i just got about sixty percent
41:47
of the way through your brian friend
41:48
interview one thing i gotta say about
41:51
chris dude has the voice of an angel
41:55
oh yeah he sounds nice if i'm gonna
41:58
listen to the radio or a podcast like
42:02
that that dude silky smooth like i want
42:06
him to do my like ten to two
42:07
a.m overnight uh with some smooth jazz and
42:13
and tell me everything's gonna be okay you
42:16
think chris you'd host uh
42:19
coast to coast am instead of what it
42:21

42:23
aliens and abductions and i don't know
42:26
about that that dude's got a smooth voice
42:30
i can't remember his name to save my
42:31
life but that dude's got a real smooth
42:34
voice when i was working overnight uh in
42:36
the crane i used to listen to it
42:37
every night it was fantastic i do not
42:42
underestimate the abilities of just need
42:44
fair and balanced tests let's go
42:51
Oh my God.
42:51
My wife says the same thing.
42:55
When you got it, you got it.
42:56
That's all it is to it.
43:00
Yeah.
43:00
I don't have that silky smooth voice.
43:02
I got the same problem, but I've been,
43:07
I've been fighting this.
43:10
You sound congested, dude.
43:12
Like it's just last night.
43:15
All of a sudden,
43:15
like my son is just totally filled up
43:17
again.
43:18
and do all this stupid stuff.
43:20
I just need a break.
43:23
I need a break from it all.
43:25
Let me breathe.
43:27
Please.
43:31
I had a whole lot on the...
43:34
We don't have time for all that.
43:36
But anyway,
43:38
it was just announced before I came on
43:39
the air.
43:39
Caleb Williams,
43:41
Offensive Player of the Week.
43:43
I mean, he deserves it.
43:45
He deserves it.
43:47
Two in a row for the first time
43:49
in like a year.
43:51
Could be worse.
43:52
Again, could be a Saints fan.
43:56
Mark Moss,
43:56
I'm having no surgery next week.
43:58
Should be a blast.
43:59
Had two, buddy.
44:01
Had two.
44:03
It is not fun.
44:06
Not fun at all.
44:07
Good on Caleb, dude.
44:08
Are you getting the balloon up the nose
44:11
or are you getting like the go in
44:13
and scrape it out?
44:16
Or are you having your thing reset?
44:27
Mark,
44:28
if you need to have your septum reset,
44:29
just holler at me.
44:30
I'm far from the house.
44:32
I can fix that.
44:33
I ain't a big deal.
44:35
Scrape, I think.
44:36
I don't know.
44:38
Yes, the scrape is rough, dude.
44:40
Just going to tell you.
44:42
It sounds terrible.
44:44
Like not an option I would pick.
44:46
Oh, yeah,
44:46
just go ahead and scrape it all out.
44:49
Yeah, I had it done.
44:53
Get used to having cotton up your nose
44:55
for like a week and then tape over
44:58
the thing.
45:00
I broke out.
45:01
I was allergic to the glue on the
45:02
tape.
45:03
My face broke out.
45:04
Of course you were.
45:06
They pulled all the stuff out,
45:08
forgot to get a sponge.
45:12
It was a horrible thing.
45:13
My mom had the balloon twice.
45:15
I had the balloon once,
45:17
and then I did the scrape.
45:19
My mom had the balloon twice.
45:22
And I tell her every,
45:25
about once a year,
45:25
I'll get a pretty bad sinus infection.
45:27
And I will call her and tell her,
45:29
out of all the things that you gave
45:30
me,
45:30
I wish you'd have kept your freaking
45:32
sinuses to yourself.
45:34
Because that is bad.
45:37
Mark Phillips,
45:38
that sounds absolutely miserable.
45:39
Glad to be blessed with good sinuses or
45:41
a big nose or whatever.
45:43
Same thing.
45:49
Leaving the sponge in is horrible.
45:51
It was horrible.
45:54
What's crazy is I blew my nose and
45:57
it came out.
45:59
That's how I got it out.
45:59
Oh.
46:06
First of all,
46:07
it rips out and you're like,
46:08
what the hell was that?
46:10
And then you look down and you're like,
46:12
oh my gosh.
46:14
That doesn't look good at all.
46:15
I don't think that was supposed to be
46:17
in there.
46:23
A septoplasty and nasal turbinate.
46:27
Neither one of those things sound like
46:29
something I want.
46:30
You can go ahead and keep both of
46:31
those.
46:32
I don't need a septoplasty and I
46:33
definitely don't need any turbo nasal or
46:35
whatever the hell that's in.
46:36
Yeah.
46:40
Amazing turbinado.
46:42
It sounds like something with my nose and
46:44
then a Tim Allen thing like we're going
46:46
to give it more horsepower.
46:49
More power, baby.
46:50
More power.
46:51
Yes, Mark Phillips.
46:54
Yeah.
46:56
Sounds like water park rides.
46:59
I'm going to get on nasal turbinate right
47:02
now.
47:05
The line's not too bad.
47:11
Oh, that's the best.
47:12
Bro.
47:15
No, Shanna, that's why I'm not a doctor.
47:17
Just because of shit like that right
47:19
there.
47:19
Hey, Shanna,
47:21
I blew it out like ten weeks after
47:23
surgery.
47:25
was horrible i cannot i cannot even
47:29
imagine again like jeff said i bet you
47:32
felt better though oh i did but i'm
47:36
like mark i used before the surgery i
47:38
could not breathe out of my nose at
47:40
all no thank you just think there are
47:47
people addicted to cosmetic surgeries no
47:49
thanks it literally like
47:52
I woke up from the knockout drugs of
47:56
the surgery,
47:58
and there was drainage in my throat,
48:01
and my nose is stuffed with cotton,
48:04
and so I can't breathe.
48:05
And literally,
48:06
I went into a full panic attack.
48:07
Yeah, I would have too.
48:12
And they pulled me up,
48:12
and then they sucked out whatever...
48:15
was in there and they gave me a
48:16
breathing treatment immediately and then i
48:19
was okay for but man talk about scary
48:22
when you can't breathe anywhere waking up
48:27
and then oh i'm awake and now i
48:28
can't breathe i'd have fought somebody
48:35
ain't no way ain't no way dude the
48:38
thought of surgery makes me anxious yeah
48:41
that was really my first one ever in
48:42
my life why back surgery i take that
48:45
back um but the back surgery like that
48:49

48:58

49:02
Oh my gosh.
49:04
It says my daughter stuck some form of
49:07
the sponge up her nose for two days
49:10
before we could tell it took seven
49:12
different doctors to get it out and the
49:14
stink.
49:18
I don't belong up there.
49:23
Well, Monday, I,
49:24
I won't be on the air Monday,
49:26
just so you guys know,
49:27
I actually have an ear, nose and throat.
49:32
appointment to take a second look at
49:34
everything we're going back through
49:37
everything i've had lung tests i'm now
49:40
going back through ent going back through
49:43
everything just to see if we can figure
49:44
all this stuff out so yeah it's worse
49:50
than halitosis man lucky for me like with
49:55
all this that has happened i can't smell
49:57
oh good
49:59
So I haven't had the sense of smell
50:01
for three years, four years.
50:06
And it's awful.
50:06
Cause like you see food in the fridge
50:09
now and you're like, is it good?
50:10
Is it bad?
50:14
Let me count the days to my wife.
50:19
Hey, can you smell this?
50:21
And she's like, so we, uh, talking about,
50:24
talking about that.
50:25
We made some homemade pickles over the
50:27
weekend.
50:28
And my wife is super nervous about keeping
50:32
stuff in there and whatnot.
50:34
There's been food in the fridge.
50:36
It doesn't matter if it's meal prep stuff.
50:38
By Friday, she ain't messing with it.
50:39
Like chicken, she won't do it.
50:41
So we made these picks.
50:42
She's like,
50:43
how low are they supposed to be good
50:44
for?
50:45
I said, well,
50:45
the recipe says for up to a month.
50:47
She made labels with the date on them.
50:50
I was like, man,
50:52
I feel pretty important right now.
50:53
I feel like we're canning stuff.
50:55
We got Martha Stewart shit going on around
50:57
the house.
50:57
This is new.
51:02
scataboo oh dude scataboo uh chris i've
51:06
talked about it on the show before um
51:09
i did and it's like a big regret
51:11
of mine this yeah did you see cam
51:20
scataboo the highlights from from the game
51:22
over the weekend that's a big boy doing
51:25
a backflip in full pads
51:28
Not just that.
51:29
He's not running away from anybody.
51:33
He is just flat.
51:35
One of us is going down.
51:38
He doesn't run away from a defender.
51:39
He just runs at the defender.
51:42
You rarely see anything like that.
51:44
He's trying to hurt people.
51:46
It's fun to watch.
51:47
When he was at college at Arizona State,
51:51
he almost single-handedly got them a
51:54
playoff win.
51:56
And his head is so big,
51:58
they have to specially make his helmet.
52:04
Can you imagine how big a person's head
52:07
must be that they have to,
52:10
in all the players that play football,
52:13
they have to get a special helmet made
52:15
for him?
52:16
And he's a running back.
52:17
He's not a lineman.
52:19
You know what I'm saying?
52:19
Like, well,
52:20
I'm going to generally like these big,
52:21
ginormous six foot eight nowadays,
52:24
three hundred and thirty pounds, whatever.
52:25
No, no.
52:26
He's a running back, fullback,
52:27
whatever you want to call it.
52:29
And yeah,
52:30
we're going to go in and need to
52:31
get you a bigger helmet.
52:33
Yeah.
52:34
Athleticism is unreal.
52:37
Yeah.
52:37
He's just like the comic book character
52:40
juggernaut.
52:41
Yeah.
52:42
That's what they should call him.
52:43
Yeah.
52:47
He is the definition of when an
52:49
unstoppable force meets an immovable
52:50
object.
52:55
Now we're getting a lot of smack talk
52:56
between SEC and Big Ten.
52:58
And we all know Big Ten's the best,
53:00
so.
53:02
Sure we do.
53:03
Two straight championships, just saying.
53:07
How many deaths he had before that?
53:08
Just remind me.
53:09
I'm trying to remember.
53:11
My records don't go back that far.
53:15
I'm telling you, dude,
53:16
when memes first started becoming a thing,
53:18
like, on the internet way back in, like,
53:21
the early two thousands or whatnot,
53:24
and I had one of,
53:28
Ohio fans holding up like the O,
53:30
the H, the I, and the O,
53:31
but the letters were messed up.
53:34
So it was like an O, I, H,
53:35
O, or whatever.
53:36
It said Ohio,
53:37
padding the SEC's bowl record since two
53:39
thousand and whatever.
53:40
And I was like, that's fantastic.
53:42
Well,
53:43
I'm always good for a rip on Ohio
53:45
State.
53:45
It's one of it.
53:47
It was funny enough to me that it's
53:49
that twenty years later,
53:50
it's still stuck in my head as one
53:51
of the funniest things I've ever seen.
53:55
You're at the game,
53:56
you're holding up your sign,
53:57
you know you're going to be on TV,
53:59
and it's misspelled.
54:00
You can't ask for better than that.
54:01
It's like the Snickers commercial.
54:06
Nice job, but who are the chefs?
54:10
You had one job.
54:11
You had one job.
54:13
And you know that has to be based
54:14
on some reality.
54:16
Oh, yeah, a hundred percent.
54:17
A hundred percent.
54:19
That's happened before.
54:21
Hey, Doug, look here.
54:23
I'm glad your son's over there.
54:24
He's a phenomenal diver.
54:26
I've seen the videos.
54:27
Absolutely.
54:28
But there's no way I'm not going to
54:29
rip on Ohio State every chance I get.
54:31
It's just a thing.
54:34
His kid diving,
54:36
like there's zero splash when that kid
54:38
hits it.
54:40
My sister was like a...
54:43
high-end diver in pennsylvania and like
54:46
that's what your aim is your aim is
54:48
to make zero splash when you go in
54:49
and that kid is phenomenal it's ridiculous
54:52
dude and it's not just it's the all
54:55
the that goes on before he actually hits
54:57
the water yeah you've thrown your body
55:00
around in all these different contortions
55:02
and ways and then enter the water enter
55:04
the water with nothing and it hit the
55:06
water and it like goes
55:08
There's two drops that kind of get
55:10
displaced as he's hitting the wall.
55:12
It's bananas.
55:13
It's bananas.
55:15
The crazy part is the NFL XL helmet
55:17
has a circumference of two feet.
55:22
That's how he was able to do that
55:23
backflip.
55:24
The body goes where the head leads.
55:26
Once you throw that head, man,
55:28
it's like a backflip.
55:29
No matter what,
55:31
it's going to flip him around that quick.
55:33
Yeah.
55:37
Man,
55:37
now the Buckeye fans are just diving in.
55:39
You talk shit about Ohio for a second,
55:41
and everybody just pops in and pops in.
55:46
A lot of people outside the state don't
55:47
understand this.
55:48
You can't just say Ohio.
55:49
You have to say Ohio State.
55:51
There is a college here that is Ohio,
55:53
where my daughter went.
55:54
And they are bitter rivals,
55:56
but Ohio State's on a higher tier than
55:58
Ohio.
56:01
And they just played like two weeks ago.
56:04
But Ohio was here first,
56:07
and Ohio State stole, like,
56:09
all the stuff from Ohio.
56:12
Like,
56:12
the script Ohio was stolen from Ohio,
56:15
all the stuff.
56:19
My daughter hates Ohio State because of it
56:21
all.
56:26
I'm glad she's that into it.
56:28
That's awesome, dude.
56:30
Well, and then, like, twenty,
56:31
thirty years ago,
56:33
the mascot for Ohio attacked Brutus the
56:36
Buckeye.
56:38
And, like,
56:39
you can find footage of it online.
56:42
And he beats the snot out of it.
56:43
And they showed it on game day two
56:44
weeks ago.
56:46
Like, beats the snot out of Brutus.
56:48
And then he was banned from coming again.
56:50
And so when they played two weeks ago,
56:52
they lifted the ban and they let Rufus
56:55
come back and be at the game with
56:58
Ohio State there.
57:01
that's fantastic.
57:03
And Terry,
57:04
allegedly that that stuff was stolen from
57:07
OU.
57:07
I'm just telling you right now, uh, Mike,
57:11
the tiger has never actually stolen
57:13
anything or beaten anybody, uh,
57:15
beaten another mascot.
57:17
Yeah,
57:17
but I would rather be the one that
57:19
did the beating up than the one who
57:20
got beat up.
57:21
Oh, absolutely.
57:23
One hundred percent.
57:24
Can you imagine like on the ground?
57:27
Can you imagine what happened to you?
57:28
I got beat up by a mascot.
57:30
I,
57:33
You got what?
57:35
Yeah.
57:37
I don't want to talk about it.
57:37
Yeah.
57:40
Google it, man.
57:41
It's freaking hilarious.
57:42
I will.
57:43
I will.
57:46
I am one hundred percent looking at up
57:48
here a little bit.
57:48
That sounds fantastic.
57:50
I should.
57:51
I'll Google it now.
57:52
Yeah.
57:53
Pull it up.
58:00
Oh, Andrew in the book, I see.
58:05
Oh, we got – what was that?
58:08
Monday.
58:11
Yeah,
58:11
Monday was at my daughter's softball game.
58:13
She got her first hit.
58:14
Go, James and Joe.
58:16
We got our apparel list or whatever you
58:22
want to call it, like for our sizes,
58:24
for our legends.
58:26
We had regular tees.
58:27
We had tank tops and a long sleeve.
58:34
And that's new.
58:37
Yeah, that was just for Andrew Sten.
58:43
Once this ad is done.
58:47
Everyone that doesn't know the story,
58:49
and this is a really interesting story.
58:51
Brandon Henning was the Ohio mascot,
58:53
and he's one of those guys that he
58:55
just decided he hated Ohio State,
58:57
and he hated Ohio State's mascot.
58:59
So what he decided he was going to
59:00
do was he was going to train for
59:02
the opportunity just to beat up
59:05
Bruce, like that was his whole motion.
59:07
Like this was a plan that was years
59:09
in the making.
59:10
It's insane because he literally did.
59:12
He was watching TV one day,
59:13
decided he hated him and decided then to
59:17
become a mascot just so that he could
59:20
have this specific moment.
59:21
That is dedication.
59:22
I feel like I quote the other guys
59:24
to a underrated movie,
59:26
but it reminds me a little bit like
59:27
when they figured out that Mark Wahlberg
59:29
learned ballet just to troll an ex.
59:31
That's what you're doing here.
59:32
You are dedicating a portion of your life
59:34
just to this moment.
59:35
And what's amazing is he dropped out of
59:38
Ohio University ten days before this.
59:40
So he wasn't even really a student.
59:43
He wasn't even supposed to be there.
59:45
There was nothing.
59:46
You already decided you were going to drop
59:47
out.
59:48
You just made your life dream happen.
59:50
The only punishment is he had to stand
59:51
on the sidelines in the mascot uniform for
59:53
the rest of the rest of the day.
59:54
So I love the part about because like
59:56
we were watching.
59:57
So there you go.
59:59
That is fantastic.
1:00:02
Yeah.
1:00:04
And they can't freaking train for it.
1:00:06
He trained about ten days before,
1:00:09
so they couldn't do anything to him.
1:00:12
It's a genius plan.
1:00:15
Hey, look here, Terry.
1:00:16
The line between crazy and genius is often
1:00:20
a very thin one.
1:00:26
Yeah.
1:00:26
It's a shame he dropped out of school
1:00:27
because if he dedicated himself to
1:00:29
something, he was successful.
1:00:32
He's probably a business owner at this
1:00:33
point.
1:00:34
Let's be honest.
1:00:35
Again, just like you said,
1:00:36
if you are that dedicated enough and
1:00:38
driven enough to just go, you know what?
1:00:41
I don't like Ohio State.
1:00:42
I don't like that mascot.
1:00:43
I'm going to learn how to become a
1:00:44
mascot.
1:00:45
I'm going to get good enough to become
1:00:47
Ohio's mascot,
1:00:48
and I'm going to whip that dude's ass
1:00:49
the first chance I get.
1:00:52
What a plan.
1:00:54
I think that's a good place to end.
1:00:57
Dedicated by hate.
1:00:58
With that,
1:01:03
we'll see everybody tomorrow on Lunch with
1:01:06
the Clydesdale.
1:01:07
Bye, guys.
