The only thing changed was the game.
0:27
What's going on, everybody.
0:28
Welcome to the class.
0:29
I'm with your round table.
0:31
We got Amy.
0:31
We got Charlie.
0:33
We got Scott.
0:35
We all here.
0:36
We here.
0:36
What's going on?
0:38
What's up, Holly?
0:39
Corey.
0:40
What's up?
0:44
First things first.
0:46
Are we still fighting?
0:47
Yep.
0:48
Yep.
0:49
Yep.
0:50
Yep.
0:51
We are.
0:52
Oh, you said that quick.
0:54
We even discussed it today
0:55
that we will be fighting
0:56
until he gets a face tattoo.
1:00
And she becomes skinny.
1:02
And I become skinny.
1:06
He is taunting me so bad
1:08
that yesterday I was jumping rope.
1:12
He was done with his class.
1:13
I was jumping rope and he's going, Oh, Oh,
1:16
the ground, the ground is shaking.
1:22
Rough.
1:22
It's rough out here in these streets.
1:26
But that's okay because...
1:27
Is it the tough love you
1:29
wanted or are you really upset?
1:32
Me?
1:34
I told him it's going to motivate me.
1:35
It's going to motivate me
1:36
because I love to show him wrong.
1:42
I told him already I feel
1:44
skinny and it's just going to be no time.
1:48
Okay.
1:50
How was the week in the woods?
1:54
It was amazing.
1:55
Amazing.
1:56
It was a little bit scary, though,
1:58
because these were like
2:00
actual cliffs that I wanted
2:03
to listen to the name of
2:04
this one trail because it's
2:07
a real trail was called.
2:10
pinch them tight.
2:13
And I was like, is it pinch them tight?
2:16
Because we're like squeezing
2:17
our cheeks together because
2:19
literally it was cliff on the side,
2:21
cliff on the side.
2:23
And I, I felt comfortable,
2:26
but like every once in a while,
2:27
Scott would like go look
2:28
over the scenery and I was like,
2:30
absolutely not, absolutely not stay here.
2:32
We're not doing that.
2:36
But the trails,
2:36
it was nothing like Ohio hiking.
2:39
It was like actual hiking
2:41
and lots of scenery.
2:42
So it was great.
2:44
Have you ever hiked at Mohican?
2:46
Yeah.
2:48
So there's a cliff on like one side,
2:49
but you have the other side
2:50
that's pretty like wide.
2:52
Yeah.
2:52
And even where we stayed, we stayed in,
2:54
it's essentially like a
2:55
tiny home is really what it was.
2:58
But the views were amazing
3:00
and they had this great
3:01
outdoor area to it with, you know,
3:03
tons of space.
3:04
But then there's a 50 foot
3:06
cliff over there.
3:08
And like,
3:09
there's no way I could ever stay there.
3:11
Like if I had small children or, you know,
3:13
like, and we brought Murph,
3:15
but I kept him on the leash,
3:16
like the whole time,
3:17
like I wouldn't trust him to go explore.
3:19
Cause it just made me super nervous,
3:22
but it was really cool.
3:25
So not for sleepwalkers.
3:27
Absolutely not.
3:27
Or like, I was even thinking about like,
3:29
what if somebody had too
3:29
much to drink and was just
3:31
out here stumbling around?
3:32
It's scarce a crap.
3:35
What would make you think
3:35
about someone who drinks too much?
3:38
I was talking about people
3:39
who would sit by a fire,
3:41
like by the fire pit,
3:42
which was out there.
3:43
And that's what people
3:44
generally do around a fire pit.
3:47
I've witnessed you do it quite often.
3:53
What Charlie?
3:53
Usually they make s'mores.
3:55
Yeah.
3:56
Some people make s'mores.
3:57
Other people have,
3:58
have a couple of brew skis,
3:59
listen to a couple,
4:00
a lot of grateful dead and you know.
4:04
Yeah.
4:05
Yeah.
4:06
Fun stuff.
4:07
Mm-hmm.
4:08
Well, before we get into serious stuff,
4:10
right before we went on the air,
4:11
I saw Ariel Lohan do this.
4:13
Apparently, it's a new TikTok trend.
4:15
Yeah, I just saw that.
4:16
And I made this clip before
4:18
I saw that for the WAD Zombie show,
4:21
and then WAD Zombie and his
4:22
family all got sick,
4:24
so we had to postpone that show.
4:27
But I want to show the clip,
4:29
and I titled it from the
4:32
news of what the hell is that.
4:36
You were a special guest on the show.
4:38
Because I may pop up.
4:42
Charlie's asking if he can
4:43
be a special guest on that show.
4:44
Sure.
4:45
I'm just a pure place.
5:02
It's like Mortal Kombat characters.
5:08
My big question is,
5:18
and I slow it down here in a second,
5:20
is what is going on with
5:22
the hip action on Thor?
5:28
I think he's got good hip action.
5:30
He got really into that.
5:33
Some mobile hips right there.
5:36
He's feeling it.
5:36
I like it.
5:37
That's 6'8", 400 pounds of hip action.
5:41
I don't like the joke.
5:44
The person in me doesn't
5:45
like this joking around,
5:47
pretend to hit your spouse kind of thing.
5:50
That's just me.
5:53
Ariel hits herself.
5:54
She split screens it.
5:57
Yep.
5:57
I saw that.
5:58
That's what I mean.
5:59
Like, that feels better to me.
6:00
And I understand.
6:01
And I can take a joke.
6:02
Like, I can see an intent and all that.
6:04
But still,
6:05
it's still a little bit bothersome to me.
6:07
Just saying.
6:08
Yeah.
6:09
Well,
6:09
I thought the funny part was his hip
6:10
action, not the trend.
6:13
Yeah.
6:14
But it definitely is Mortal Kombat.
6:16
Yeah.
6:17
I mean, can you, like, seeing that live,
6:19
6'8", 400 pounds, of all that hips, like,
6:23
dancing with the stars, wouldn't that be,
6:25
like, awesome?
6:27
Yeah, she is tiny.
6:31
Is she, though, or is she just not him?
6:33
No, she's tiny.
6:35
Yeah.
6:36
She's the opposite of me.
6:37
I mean, she's short and tiny.
6:46
Yeah.
6:47
Wow.
6:49
All right.
6:50
She's not four C's.
6:52
Thick.
6:53
Thick.
6:56
So did everybody work out today?
6:58
Yep.
6:59
I guess you can- I did it twice.
7:02
Yeah.
7:02
What did you do the second time?
7:03
And then you can tell us what you did.
7:05
Day two of power abs.
7:07
That's right.
7:08
And let me tell you something.
7:09
It's different.
7:11
It's different than day one.
7:16
Day one, I got down to a science.
7:17
Day two,
7:20
this Carrie Pierce knows what
7:21
she's doing.
7:22
Just wait till day three, dude.
7:27
Seriously, what was your second workout?
7:29
You had a barbell.
7:30
That has nothing to do with abs.
7:32
I did a... I saw Josh Bridges do this.
7:36
He did an EMOM back squats.
7:41
You do five every minute for 10 minutes.
7:46
Then each week you go up 10%.
7:48
Okay.
7:51
We'll see what happens.
7:52
You got to get that crease.
7:54
You got to get that depth.
7:56
Hey, you've been getting the depth.
7:59
That's what I'm working on.
8:00
The front rack is also what
8:01
we're going to work on.
8:03
Well, you know, one thing at a time.
8:07
Well, you know, our listener, Jay Birch,
8:09
he is a big Josh Bridges guy,
8:12
has done the pay the man
8:15
weekends or whatever with him.
8:17
Oh, nice.
8:17
Oh, yeah?
8:18
Yeah.
8:21
Oh, nice.
8:23
You know what, Jeffrey?
8:24
Let me ask you this.
8:27
Is there a seven-day free trial?
8:28
Because if so, Charlie's about to sign up.
8:31
I don't need a seven-day.
8:32
I still sign up.
8:33
He just needs a seven-day.
8:35
It'll just go with the
8:37
graveyard collection of Richard Simmons,
8:41
Carrie Pierce, Tybo, Tia Toomey,
8:48
Billy Blanks, Tony Horton.
8:52
Yeah.
8:54
He's got them all.
8:55
Jazzercise.
8:56
But did you just see him
8:57
posted on Instagram or
8:58
where did you get the idea, I guess?
9:00
Yes, it was on Instagram.
9:03
Okay.
9:06
It's true.
9:09
I have thought about paying a man.
9:15
Listen,
9:15
he looks better than he definitely looks.
9:17
From the watch phase to action phase.
9:19
I don't know if he's on some
9:21
science or what's happening.
9:24
He looks fantastic.
9:27
Well, he's married now.
9:29
Well, does that make you look better?
9:32
Could be.
9:33
What's your problem?
9:38
I was just saying,
9:38
maybe he's so happy and
9:39
he's wanting to look good for his woman.
9:42
Oh, yeah, that seems normal.
9:47
You know, he's a newlywed.
9:51
That seems normal for a newlywed.
9:53
Okay.
9:54
That makes sense then.
9:55
Yeah.
9:59
So Polaris was crazy because,
10:00
so I didn't go today,
10:02
but I came in yesterday and
10:07
it's been squat on Monday
10:10
squat and then short wad
10:13
while we finished the strength cycle.
10:14
So now it's, well, we don't want to focus.
10:17
We want to get you off the barbell.
10:19
And it was like this big,
10:20
long 30 minute workout.
10:24
I like those.
10:26
Actually,
10:27
it's probably better for me right now,
10:29
but it was like 50 calorie row,
10:30
40 of this, 30 that, 20, 10,
10:35
then back up.
10:37
Yeah, you need that.
10:42
Our workout was essentially
10:43
in different variations of,
10:45
but total reps here,
10:48
30 power cleans at 125, 185, 60 burpees,
10:53
and then a bunch of cows on the bike.
10:55
Burpees over bar.
10:56
Burpees over bar.
10:57
Sorry.
10:58
Sorry.
10:59
With a two-foot takeoff this time,
11:02
not this other shuffle standard.
11:05
Two-foot takeoff.
11:06
Yeah.
11:09
Did your gym do the two-foot takeoff,
11:11
or was it in the programming?
11:13
It was in the programming,
11:14
and I held us to the programming.
11:20
So Gilbert says his newest
11:21
program is Operation LFG,
11:24
which mixes some isolation
11:25
work with CrossFit,
11:27
which I think you've
11:28
actually kind of been looking for,
11:29
haven't you, Charlie?
11:32
Of course.
11:33
It does sound like my alley.
11:35
Might be signing up tomorrow.
11:37
A little bodybuilding.
11:38
Now do I do that or IBEX?
11:44
Let's see.
11:44
We're talking to my guy.
11:51
I just told you about Nate
11:53
signing up for Proven.
11:56
I've been down that road.
11:57
Oh, you've been down that one?
12:00
Nate, your son?
12:02
Yes.
12:04
He came with me to the
12:05
workout the other day.
12:07
or to the gym the other day
12:08
and there was nothing programmed.
12:09
And so he was like, well, it was open gym.
12:12
And he's like,
12:13
I'll just sign up for this
12:14
free trial to get a workout.
12:17
And I was like, oh,
12:18
you should let Charlie know
12:18
because he likes to start day one.
12:20
Yeah.
12:23
I do like Barbara.
12:24
I do like Barbara too.
12:27
Remind me what that is.
12:29
Five rounds.
12:30
It's got sit-ups, pull-ups.
12:33
Push-ups.
12:34
Push-ups.
12:36
And air squats.
12:37
Yeah.
12:38
It's like five rounds and
12:39
you do it in like,
12:41
it's kind of like Cindy, but,
12:43
but I think it's like rest.
12:44
Like I think you do around, it's like 30,
12:46
40, 50, 60,
12:48
and then you get a three
12:49
minute rest or something
12:50
between the next round.
12:52
It's a lot.
12:54
It is a lot.
12:54
It's high volume for sure.
12:57
It sounds like one of those
12:57
prison workouts.
12:59
Yeah.
12:59
Yeah.
12:59
That's why I like it.
13:02
Yeah.
13:05
So did you guys see the DB documentary?
13:08
I did.
13:10
I thought it was very well done.
13:13
I thought it was very, like, I mean,
13:19
it was touching, I think, you know,
13:21
in a way.
13:21
I think it was very emotive and it was,
13:29
well, just, you know, like,
13:31
it, it showed a lot of like grit, you know,
13:35
like in her background
13:36
story that I thought was,
13:38
was fascinating to watch and be a part of,
13:40
you know, along the journey of it.
13:41
So.
13:44
Charlie,
13:44
did you get past the first two minutes?
13:46
No, I kept rewinding.
13:48
I didn't, I don't know.
13:51
Something was wrong with my computer.
13:54
Yeah.
13:55
Yeah.
13:56
That virus you got on there.
13:58
Yeah.
14:01
Yeah, I, um,
14:09
I really look at his two
14:10
different documentaries.
14:12
The, the childhood growing up,
14:14
I thought was a 10 out of 10.
14:17
I think the CrossFit stuff,
14:20
I have some issues,
14:21
but I said those Thursday night,
14:27
Cooper Marsh is my friend, but he,
14:28
I don't think he came
14:29
across well in this documentary.
14:33
You mean based on what he
14:34
said about what happened with underdogs?
14:36
That,
14:38
that he kind of said that he flipped
14:42
Danielle off to tell her to
14:43
do that to the crowd.
14:45
He always talked about how
14:46
many views and likes she has.
14:50
Like, and I,
14:51
I get that's one of the things
14:53
that he has to look at,
14:54
but I just don't think,
14:55
and I like the guy,
14:56
like we've had him on a couple of times.
14:58
I talk to him all the time.
15:00
He's been nothing but kind to us.
15:04
I just don't think he came
15:05
across well in the documentary.
15:08
And I really didn't like the
15:10
way he treated the underdog
15:12
situation in the documentary.
15:19
Do you think that that is in
15:20
part because also of your
15:23
friendship relationship with underdogs?
15:26
said that thursday night
15:27
okay you know that justin
15:28
and I are good friends and
15:29
that that I probably do
15:32
have a slant in that
15:33
direction um and I guess
15:38
like I had high hopes
15:40
because when danielle was
15:42
on with lauren doing the
15:45
the interview before the
15:46
documentary talking about
15:48
it she talked very
15:50
glowingly about her time with justin
15:54
And it actually,
15:54
when she got to other coaches,
15:56
she kept telling them, well,
15:58
you don't do it like Kotler did it.
16:00
You don't like,
16:01
I want it like Kotler did
16:02
it or Kotler really cared about me.
16:05
You don't seem to care about
16:06
me like he did.
16:08
And then she said, well,
16:09
I realized that like,
16:10
nobody's going to care
16:11
about me like he did
16:12
because that's just who he is.
16:14
I think one of the coaches might.
16:17
I think in a very different way.
16:21
In a very different way.
16:22
Allegedly.
16:25
but and so someone actually
16:29
commented on the thursday
16:30
night show in the comments
16:32
and said they disagreed
16:33
with me on the kotler take
16:35
and everything like that
16:37
justin actually came in and
16:38
responded oh and then
16:42
justin and I started
16:42
texting and with that we're
16:45
having justin on this
16:46
thursday to talk about the situation so
16:56
I think I just want reconciliation.
16:58
And I felt like in that
17:00
interview with Lauren,
17:01
Danielle was coming in that direction.
17:04
And I feel like in the documentary,
17:07
Cooper just threw gas on the fire.
17:13
So it sounds like you might
17:14
need to talk to Coop.
17:17
Maybe.
17:17
Or Danielle.
17:20
There you go.
17:23
Yeah.
17:25
But that's, those are my,
17:26
I still thought like that
17:27
part was probably a seven out of 10.
17:32
But I just know that it's
17:33
going to be whatever story
17:35
they want to tell for the CrossFit stuff.
17:38
Right.
17:38
That's just what a documentary is.
17:40
Of course it is.
17:41
Whoever does a documentary is going to,
17:42
it's their point of view.
17:44
Right.
17:46
So, yeah.
17:49
So yeah, I, I thought it was well done.
17:51
It was, you know,
17:52
some people complained about the timing.
17:54
I thought it was perfect.
17:54
There's nothing going on right now.
17:57
Yeah.
17:57
Oh yeah.
17:58
CrossFit content.
18:00
Like it was the perfect time
18:01
to put it out.
18:05
I mean, for this show,
18:05
I was struggling to find
18:07
stuff to talk about in the
18:08
CrossFit space.
18:09
So it was, it was a perfect time.
18:12
Yeah.
18:12
Yeah.
18:13
No, I mean, I did.
18:14
I mean, I was very, um,
18:18
What's the right word?
18:19
I mean, I was very focused on watching it.
18:23
Like, I did enjoy it.
18:25
Looks like Wad Zombie did
18:26
not enjoy the background music, though.
18:31
You know,
18:31
I don't even hear music when I
18:32
work out anymore.
18:33
So, like,
18:34
I must have something that just
18:35
blocks that out.
18:38
I'll tell you the part I
18:39
actually didn't like,
18:39
which was actually both of
18:40
your favorite parts.
18:43
I didn't like the intro.
18:44
That was my favorite part.
18:46
Okay.
18:46
It was going to be Charlie's.
18:49
I just, that, I didn't like that part.
18:51
I understand why they did it.
18:52
But to me, I was just like,
18:54
we're just putting on,
18:56
we're putting on a show, which is,
18:57
was the intent.
18:58
But I just,
18:58
it just kind of felt icky to me.
19:02
Well,
19:03
you gotta let people who don't know
19:04
her know what she does in life.
19:09
I heard somebody say that it was,
19:10
it was kind of a
19:11
representation of her like
19:12
unloading her baggage.
19:14
Sure.
19:14
Okay.
19:15
All right.
19:16
Because he gets in the trunk
19:17
of the car to pull out the suitcases.
19:19
And yeah.
19:22
But there was the people
19:25
making that had a different idea in mind.
19:27
Didn't even notice.
19:29
He's like, what?
19:29
There were suitcases.
19:30
What are you talking about?
19:31
I didn't know there was a car there.
19:34
You didn't notice that?
19:36
You tune out music,
19:37
I tune out things and spaces.
19:42
uh wad zombie says I love
19:44
the documentary especially
19:45
the childhood part if you
19:46
have kids you can
19:47
understand how
19:47
heartbreaking that is I
19:51
also found it to be very
19:53
brave um of danielle's mom
19:55
to be so up front and so
19:57
open with everything
20:01
christie you had a hard
20:02
pass where did chris what
20:05
are you giving a hard pass
20:06
to that jeff's workout or
20:10
the documentary or the documentary
20:12
Well,
20:13
and I don't think they said this in
20:14
the documentary,
20:14
but her mom's now a counselor.
20:19
Like she's flipped full circle.
20:21
Okay.
20:25
So yeah,
20:26
what Jay Burch has put in the
20:28
comments is Josh Bridges' new program,
20:33
Today's Workout.
20:35
He can do that for his third
20:37
workout for today.
20:38
I'm definitely signing up for this thing.
20:45
I didn't know her mom was a swimmer.
20:46
That was kind of fun for me.
20:47
Yeah.
20:48
To know that.
20:49
And,
20:49
and she's been following us for years.
20:53
Like,
20:53
and I've chatted with her in DMS before.
20:56
Yeah.
20:56
Um, and she's like, what zombie said?
20:59
She's super nice.
21:01
We met her at, um, well,
21:03
she went on coops at that party.
21:09
She was there.
21:10
Okay.
21:12
You know, I'm talking about at the games.
21:15
Yeah.
21:16
We could have had her on for Mother's Day,
21:17
see?
21:19
We could have.
21:21
Next year.
21:23
That's this year coming up.
21:26
This year we already have somebody.
21:28
We do?
21:28
You, Big Mama.
21:30
You jerk.
21:34
You know what I sent him?
21:35
The gif from the Nutty Professor.
21:41
Of the kid eating all the food.
21:43
Hercules.
21:44
Hercules.
21:46
Okay.
21:46
Sorry.
21:51
I'm getting on track.
21:53
Back to you.
21:54
Corey says, once you've hit rock bottom,
21:56
you tend to be nice to everyone you meet.
21:59
Sometimes.
22:00
Sometimes.
22:01
Yeah.
22:03
Yeah.
22:04
A child should only feel
22:05
unconditional love from their parents.
22:07
And to have anything other
22:08
than that just makes me sad.
22:10
When she said that those
22:11
things were her normal life
22:12
to her just broke me.
22:17
Well, that is why, I mean,
22:18
there's so much in like the
22:21
educational field and
22:22
healthcare now and all that
22:24
where trainers are trained
22:29
on trauma therapy.
22:30
So being trauma informed on
22:33
how to respond in
22:34
situations because there's
22:36
so much that trauma can
22:40
create in someone's makeup.
22:44
Right.
22:45
So that it's better for
22:47
educators and health care
22:48
workers to be prepared on
22:49
how best to support and help people.
22:54
So my last question about
22:55
this is really for like you
22:56
and Jay Birch who are in
22:58
the education world.
23:00
The fact that she had a
23:01
teacher that cared enough to,
23:03
that got her into CrossFit
23:05
and then saw this like
23:07
stack of scholarships
23:08
coming in and she didn't
23:10
know what that meant or
23:11
what that could do for her
23:13
and sat her down and talk
23:16
to her about the opportunities.
23:17
How did that make you feel
23:19
about the profession you're in?
23:21
I mean, I totally, I get it.
23:22
I don't want to say like,
23:23
I think there are many educators.
23:26
I mean,
23:26
we're in the field of education
23:28
because mostly because of a
23:30
passion for helping people.
23:32
Um, it's not necessarily because, oh,
23:34
I want to make a lot of money, right?
23:36
Like there's a reason why
23:37
people choose to be in the
23:38
education field.
23:39
And so I'm not trying to diminish in any,
23:41
in any way taking from him, but I get it.
23:44
Right.
23:44
I think that many of us,
23:46
many educators would, um,
23:50
would, you know,
23:51
do similar things to
23:54
support kids and people
23:56
that not only do we struggle,
23:57
but also that we you know,
23:58
we want to help to continue to excel.
24:05
Jay Burch gives you a true.
24:11
So okay,
24:11
I just wanted your perspective on that.
24:13
Yeah.
24:15
Because I thought that was
24:15
really cool part of the story.
24:17
I do.
24:17
I definitely.
24:18
And I love that he's still a
24:20
part of her journey, right?
24:21
Like how he's watching the
24:22
games and all those things.
24:26
So.
24:27
So on to something different.
24:30
At the Open,
24:30
we had this Taylor versus the world,
24:33
which universally has
24:34
become like probably the
24:36
best thing in the Open to get excitement.
24:40
And they really lucked out
24:41
with Taylor willing to give
24:43
himself up for everything
24:44
and good competitions every week.
24:47
So it was close.
24:48
Like the one was a tie.
24:49
The one was,
24:51
they both broke like world
24:53
records at the time.
24:54
Right.
24:55
Great stuff.
24:57
Well, it came out last week.
24:59
I believe it was that fee
25:01
has been invited to do the
25:04
same thing for the women in
25:05
quarterfinals.
25:06
Hmm.
25:08
and go up against one of J.R.
25:11
Howell's athletes at Crash
25:15
for the quarterfinals.
25:17
And she agreed to it on the show.
25:18
I've not seen any updates to that.
25:21
But what are your thoughts
25:23
about adding a female
25:25
version of this to the docket?
25:29
Yeah, great.
25:31
I think it would be exciting.
25:32
I mean, she did phenomenal in the open.
25:35
I think it would be
25:38
I think it would be great.
25:39
I think it would be good for
25:40
her training too, honestly.
25:44
Did you see the Colton
25:45
Mertens video that he made
25:47
yesterday while he was cutting potatoes?
25:49
I did.
25:50
That was fantastic.
25:52
Talking smack about quarterfinals.
25:57
He has become the Charlie
25:59
Odie of the CrossFit space.
26:02
Yeah.
26:06
cold mertens has become the
26:07
charlioti of the crossfit
26:08
space talking smack to
26:10
everybody yeah yeah he
26:12
should be he deserves to
26:16
you gotta have a guy he's
26:19
not villain enough but it's
26:23
it's it is quick-witted enough yeah
26:26
to to make it good and look
26:29
at the popularity of like
26:30
the sponsorships going up
26:32
for him yeah like he's
26:34
becoming that guy on the
26:36
men's side that is becoming
26:39
popular without having to
26:40
win and he has some home
26:43
runs that he's going to win
26:45
events right yeah I think it's awesome
26:52
And the more people we have doing that,
26:54
the more interest will be
26:55
peaked into the sport overall.
27:03
Yeah, I mean, I think, yeah, I'm excited.
27:07
I think it will be good.
27:09
And I love, yeah,
27:10
I love that this is
27:11
confidence building for Colton.
27:15
And I think it can be
27:16
confidence building for Fi too.
27:18
I think that she could use
27:21
more confidence.
27:24
Yeah.
27:25
Yeah, I think exposure, I mean,
27:28
this whole thing is really
27:30
good for everybody involved.
27:31
Yeah.
27:34
She's just so darn sweet.
27:38
She is.
27:39
That I love watching her.
27:42
She's joyful to watch
27:44
because she's working really hard,
27:45
but you can also see that she,
27:47
I think there's joy to her
27:49
when she's working out too.
27:51
It's still fun.
27:52
Yeah.
27:54
a grind job.
27:56
Right.
27:58
Yeah,
27:59
I think she went on in that episode
28:00
to talk about how she had
28:02
to get to a place in her
28:03
life where that didn't define her.
28:06
Right.
28:11
And she talked about she had
28:11
some really rough patches in college.
28:16
But yeah,
28:18
I think she's just flat out awesome.
28:20
I'm glad she got picked.
28:23
And yeah,
28:25
So super stoked for that.
28:29
Um, on the other things going on,
28:31
let me see.
28:32
So I'm actually going to go
28:33
up to Michigan to film
28:36
Jamie on quarterfinals.
28:37
Okay.
28:37
Live.
28:39
Uh, we're going to do there.
28:41
She started that versus
28:43
series with an 18 year old,
28:45
the 67 year old and her
28:47
doing the workouts
28:49
quarterfinals together.
28:50
So we're just going to keep
28:52
going through that to show
28:53
the differences between the three.
28:58
So that'll be fun.
28:59
So pause on that.
29:02
Speaking of the invites came
29:03
out yesterday for quarterfinals.
29:07
So here's the part that I was confused on.
29:10
So if you qualify for more
29:14
than one division, okay,
29:16
you can sign up for both divisions.
29:19
You only have to pay once.
29:20
Okay.
29:21
Okay.
29:24
is there,
29:25
is it just comparing you on both
29:26
leaderboards?
29:27
Like,
29:27
are they the same weights and same
29:30
workouts?
29:31
Okay.
29:32
So it's not like you choose.
29:33
It's just like,
29:33
we'll compare you on here
29:34
and we'll compare you on here.
29:38
So if you are 54 or under,
29:42
then everything is the same.
29:44
It goes the same weekend and
29:46
you just do the workout and
29:48
you'll be placed on both leaderboards.
29:51
Yikes.
29:54
Yep.
29:56
so you'll be on the open and
29:57
the 45 to 49 that's it I am
30:04
40 45. so yeah I actually
30:09
like that move that you can
30:11
compete in both um I am
30:15
surprised both you're
30:18
surprised you don't have to
30:19
pay for both yes well I'm
30:21
not doing more than
30:25
Thanks, Quad Zombie.
30:26
It's a CrossFit-y type thing to do.
30:29
But at least it's, I mean,
30:32
you're not doing more than
30:33
one set of workouts.
30:35
They don't care.
30:37
I mean, it was the same with the Open.
30:39
They compared you for both
30:41
leaderboards for the Open.
30:45
Yeah.
30:47
Well, and this weekend,
30:50
or actually tomorrow,
30:51
we get the team workouts.
30:53
Mm-hmm.
30:54
which will be our first
30:55
indicator because usually
30:58
one of those workouts is
31:00
very similar to the individuals.
31:05
So it'll be our first peek into that.
31:07
And we'll finally get to
31:08
know like who's on freaking teams.
31:12
Yeah.
31:13
Then that will give us
31:14
something to talk about.
31:16
Right.
31:17
Because then at that point
31:18
it becomes official, I believe.
31:21
I have something
31:22
non-CrossFitty we can talk
31:23
about when we're done talking.
31:26
Okay.
31:27
Um, the last thing I have, I think, um,
31:32
is did you guys see the
31:34
Hiller video with Sporty Beth?
31:36
Yes.
31:36
Another one.
31:37
Yes.
31:38
Where she said the CrossFit
31:39
community sucks.
31:39
Yes.
31:40
Yes.
31:43
I just have one general
31:44
statement I need to make about that.
31:47
I'll make one too.
31:48
In 2020,
31:50
CrossFit made a documentary
31:53
on Sporty Beth.
31:54
Yes.
31:55
Came out two weeks before mine.
31:58
That's the only reason I know.
32:00
Yeah.
32:02
With that,
32:04
she gained so much popularity
32:05
that she started her own
32:08
YouTube channel that blew up.
32:13
Because of the CrossFit community.
32:18
And now she's just spent the
32:19
last year bashing the
32:21
community that lifted her
32:24
up to where she is today.
32:29
That sucks.
32:31
The comment I'm going to
32:32
make about it is I find all
32:34
of her stuff to be seriously negative.
32:39
Like everything feels like you should,
32:42
you should, this is why that is terrible.
32:45
You should do this.
32:46
It's very, um,
32:49
I don't know.
32:50
I mean, it's, it's like, it's almost like,
32:55
you know, I'm, I'm better.
32:56
I know better.
32:57
You should do, you should do it this way.
32:59
Right.
33:00
Like,
33:02
I think it comes off.
33:03
I know that like,
33:04
she's trying to be the opposite.
33:05
Like she's trying to say, I want to,
33:07
you know, show positivity and the,
33:10
the bigger bodied athlete and all this,
33:11
but everything that's
33:12
coming out is so negative
33:14
about everything about the United States,
33:16
about the games,
33:17
about the CrossFit community.
33:19
I mean,
33:19
I think her message gets lost
33:24
because of her attitude is
33:25
what I'm saying.
33:26
Yeah.
33:26
Yeah.
33:26
When I said this in my original riff,
33:29
you know, some people love Savan,
33:30
some people hate Savan.
33:32
Mm-hmm.
33:33
He filmed that first.
33:35
He's the one that approved
33:36
that first documentary.
33:37
And then she goes on to say
33:39
he's the most toxic man in CrossFit.
33:41
Mm-hmm.
33:42
Like,
33:43
everything that got her to where she was,
33:45
she has shit on.
33:46
Mm-hmm.
33:49
And I find that repulsive.
33:52
Mm-hmm.
33:53
don't take advantage of it
33:55
if you truly feel that way
34:00
yeah so that's just what
34:00
yeah I think definitely
34:03
just way too negative for
34:04
for me and I think that
34:05
there's enough negativity
34:06
out there like that that's
34:08
not something I'm choosing
34:09
to consume does she say why
34:11
she hates the community
34:14
Well,
34:14
she said that she goes into gyms and
34:16
people make fun of you.
34:19
I'm a bigger bodied athlete.
34:21
I have never,
34:22
ever been made fun of because
34:23
of that walking into a CrossFit gym.
34:26
And for work,
34:27
I've traveled all over the country.
34:28
And that has never once happened to me.
34:34
I don't even think she's experienced.
34:38
I think she makes it up in her head.
34:39
I think, yeah.
34:44
I'm absolutely sure that
34:47
there are tons of negative,
34:51
comments on chat boards or
34:53
things like that, or, you know,
34:55
in your social media posts,
34:56
I'm sure there is a ton of
34:57
negativity there, right?
34:59
Because everybody feels, you know,
35:01
behind a keyboard, we've, you know,
35:03
we've got a little,
35:04
your balls are a little bigger, right?
35:05
You can say things that you want to say.
35:08
Um, but I don't,
35:10
I've never witnessed or had
35:12
any of that experience in
35:13
anything in a CrossFit gym
35:16
either in the community.
35:22
I think she even said like,
35:23
it's worse in the United States though.
35:25
Jay Birch.
35:26
Yeah.
35:27
I feel like it's a, it's a, we'll work.
35:31
I think she's trying to clickbait.
35:34
This is the angle I'm going to take now.
35:36
I'm just going to, everything is.
35:38
Yeah.
35:41
Everything stinks.
35:42
Everybody hates me.
35:43
So, yes.
35:44
So we have a choice too.
35:45
We have a choice to not
35:46
consume her content and that's.
35:49
well then you're out of any
35:51
hope for not that's for
35:52
sure that's okay that's um
35:56
I can own my choices so I I
35:59
like Holly followed her way
36:01
back uh-huh I couldn't take
36:04
it like it just was too so
36:06
I unsubscribed I don't
36:08
watch her content anymore I
36:10
don't know she may even
36:13
block me I don't even know but
36:19
All right.
36:20
So what do you have, Amy?
36:22
Next Monday,
36:23
here where we're located is a
36:27
pretty good location to see the eclipse.
36:34
If it doesn't, if it's not cloudy.
36:37
Do you have your glasses just in case?
36:41
No.
36:42
You're going to burn your retinas.
36:43
The last time I didn't even, like,
36:50
It happened a few years ago, right?
36:51
Like five years ago?
36:53
Yeah, but that was a different eclipse.
36:57
It got dark.
36:58
That's all I know.
37:00
And it was dark in the middle of the day.
37:03
See?
37:05
People are going to be driving.
37:06
Traffic is going to be so backed up.
37:10
What are we getting out of seeing this?
37:12
You know that schools are closed?
37:15
Yes.
37:16
It's a problem for me.
37:17
Well, it is a problem for you.
37:20
Listen,
37:20
they're going to call schools out
37:21
now for this dumb tornado that's coming.
37:25
Did they close?
37:27
In Dayton, they did.
37:28
Olin Tangy is closing early.
37:32
Yes, it is once in a lifetime.
37:34
Thanks, Andrew.
37:35
Why won't people watch a tornado?
37:38
I'll watch a tornado on a
37:41
screen in the movie Twister.
37:44
It's a natural occurring
37:46
thing like an eclipse.
37:50
Listen, it's going to be cool.
37:55
Okay.
37:56
Cicadas are once in a lifetime too,
37:58
but you don't go chasing cicadas.
38:03
Cicadas are cool.
38:04
They're loud.
38:05
They're ugly.
38:07
You can't avoid them,
38:07
but I am going to... I'm
38:10
not closed either, Bert.
38:13
But I'm going to
38:17
This I'm going to choose to
38:18
consume this content.
38:19
I'm going to choose to
38:20
consume the eclipse content
38:22
with my special glasses and
38:24
I'll send you a photo.
38:29
One other thing that's not
38:31
CrossFit content.
38:32
Okay.
38:34
There was content that I consumed.
38:38
The Iowa LSU game.
38:40
Yes.
38:40
Tournament last night.
38:44
I am so sucked into the
38:46
women's tournament this year.
38:47
I've watched more women's
38:49
games than men's.
38:51
It's so much better.
38:51
100%.
38:53
Both games were great last night.
38:56
You know what?
38:56
I wonder what Corey will think.
38:57
I wonder if Corey's an LSU fan.
39:02
I don't know.
39:03
Maybe.
39:05
My people at my house are
39:08
not big LSU fans.
39:10
They are haters.
39:13
I was bummed for Angel Reese
39:16
with the ankle.
39:18
Yeah, that stinks.
39:19
Because she was dominating.
39:23
Yeah, but not like Caitlin Clark.
39:26
Yeah, like Caitlin Clark.
39:28
No.
39:29
She was dominating.
39:30
Not just Caitlin Clark.
39:33
They're like the two best
39:34
players in women's basketball.
39:36
Yeah.
39:37
And it would have been...
39:38
Haley was getting...
39:40
destroyed is what the
39:42
problem was but it was a
39:47
great game and I hope I
39:50
hope caitlin wins yeah the
39:54
next game is going to be
39:55
great also because south
39:58
carolina is the best team
39:59
each buckets buckets is
40:03
that her real name
40:09
She's just as good as Caitlin,
40:11
but people forget.
40:12
Cause she tore ACL.
40:15
She's great.
40:18
All these new fans.
40:23
I'm I'm a new fan.
40:25
I'm telling you,
40:26
telling you page is the real deal,
40:28
but I got sucked in and now
40:29
I really enjoy it.
40:30
Yeah.
40:32
You're one of those,
40:32
you're one of those Matt Frazier guys.
40:34
I'm a rich guy.
40:35
I've been here for a long time.
40:36
Well, if we're talking CrossFit,
40:41
I'm a rich guy.
40:43
Women's basketball, I'm a newbie.
40:46
All this, Madaris is the greatest ever.
40:49
You shut your mouth.
40:53
And my Pirates are 5-0.
40:56
Okay, you talk about nonsense.
41:02
I actually watched four
41:03
baseball games this weekend.
41:05
Shut the season down.
41:07
I know.
41:09
It's only a matter of time.
41:14
The pitching staff looks good, man.
41:17
Fallen dolls here.
41:18
What else?
41:22
Amy is so easily amused about the names.
41:24
I am.
41:27
Also next week is WrestleMania.
41:28
Let's just not get out of
41:29
hand here without acknowledging it.
41:36
What do you want us to talk about?
41:37
What do you want to tell us?
41:39
Let me know, Amy.
41:40
Be prepared.
41:42
Greatest WrestleMania ever coming.
41:44
I could probably do pretty
41:45
well at WrestleMania now
41:46
because since I'm a... I don't know.
41:52
I got more mass.
41:53
I'm saying because I have more mass on me.
41:54
I would probably do a better
41:57
job on some body slams.
42:00
Can you call Amy from the top rope?
42:05
So the Rock's a heel right now?
42:12
Yes.
42:14
And he's fantastic at being a heel.
42:16
Well,
42:17
that's what he was when he first came up.
42:19
Yes.
42:21
Then he got good.
42:21
Now he's bad again.
42:24
But he still gets cheered in
42:25
certain cities.
42:26
Yes.
42:28
well because his like his
42:31
whatever the schtick and
42:34
the I don't care what you
42:36
know it doesn't matter what
42:37
you think like all that was
42:38
from the bad doesn't matter
42:39
yeah like and then he just
42:43
carried it over and then
42:44
everybody thought it was
42:44
cool when he was a good guy
42:46
but but now he talks about
42:49
fans having things and diseases and such
42:58
That's his sprint?
43:00
He just likes to yell at the crowd.
43:03
Yeah.
43:06
That's good.
43:11
Have you been watching consistently?
43:14
You have young boys,
43:14
so that's... They're not allowed to watch,
43:17
allegedly.
43:19
According to the world outside,
43:21
they don't watch it.
43:23
But when their mom's not here, they watch.
43:29
With Vince stepping down and
43:31
The Rock jumping in,
43:37
are the storylines getting
43:38
back to the old days?
43:39
Yes.
43:41
Because Triple H is the one
43:44
that actually... It's like a soap opera.
43:48
It doesn't matter how long
43:48
you've been gone,
43:49
you can just jump in at any moment.
43:51
They've got some down points.
43:53
There's nobody good, and you're like...
43:57
Yeah, that's where they lost me.
43:59
The storylines got really bad.
44:02
But if they're back to what they were,
44:03
I might have to take a peek in again.
44:05
Take a look at WrestleMania.
44:08
The women aren't good like
44:10
women's basketball.
44:11
These women are good.
44:14
And not just, hey, we're in bikinis.
44:16
Now that Vince is gone,
44:18
there's no more sex slaves in the WWE.
44:21
No.
44:22
That was not a great look for old Vince.
44:27
Or Brock Lesnar, really.
44:29
That is the truth, Jeff,
44:31
that Triple H is running the show now.
44:33
Yes.
44:37
And Andrew says storylines
44:39
are great right now.
44:40
Yep.
44:42
Look at this.
44:42
I think you're making a comeback for it.
44:46
I'm telling you, it's good.
44:49
It's not 96, but it's good.
44:53
96?
44:53
You were in high school then.
44:54
What were you still doing
44:55
watching it in high school?
44:57
because it was awesome.
44:58
I was watching in 96 and I
45:00
was working a full-time job.
45:03
Nerds!
45:04
96, you were big back then too.
45:09
Amy, what are you talking about?
45:11
Oh, no.
45:11
I've seen pictures.
45:21
So, what's on a better trajectory?
45:23
WWE or women's basketball?
45:28
Oh, women's basketball.
45:29
Yeah, agreed.
45:33
Yep.
45:35
Do you think this will
45:35
translate to the WNBA when
45:37
Angel Reese and Caitlin go to the WNBA?
45:41
No?
45:42
No.
45:42
I mean, it'll help it,
45:43
but it won't be as big as college.
45:49
Wow.
45:50
Okay.
45:51
Their playoffs will do well.
45:53
Their regular season.
45:55
I mean, NBA's regular season's garbage.
46:01
I still watch it, but it's hard to watch.
46:05
Okay.
46:08
It helps that there are no
46:09
men's college players that you know.
46:13
Edie, maybe, because he's 7'100".
46:17
Do you think NIL will change that?
46:20
For who?
46:21
Men's.
46:23
It'll make it worse.
46:27
They won't need to jump to
46:28
the NBA because they're making money.
46:29
Whose computer keeps making that sound?
46:32
Because you still got to go
46:36
to school if you go to school.
46:39
Yeah.
46:40
Okay.
46:42
Well,
46:42
you know that this year in the NFL
46:44
draft is the lowest number
46:45
of underclassmen and
46:47
they're attributing it to
46:48
the NIL because they can
46:52
make money in college so
46:53
they can be patient.
46:55
They can also just go
46:56
wherever they want every year, basically.
47:01
Sucks.
47:05
All right.
47:05
Well, with that, we've hit our 45 minutes,
47:10
and I've got a meeting to get to.
47:11
All right, yo.
47:13
So with that,
47:15
glad you could all be here on
47:16
this low CrossFit News week.
47:18
But we filled the space with other stuff.
47:21
We did.
47:21
So maybe next week we'll
47:22
talk the results of WrestleMania.
47:26
And some team stuff.
47:27
Acknowledge him.
47:30
Triple chief.
47:33
What?
47:34
You're talking about wrestling.
47:36
It's fine.
47:37
All right.
47:39
With that, thank you, everybody,
47:41
in the chat.
47:41
We love you all,
47:42
and we'll see everybody
47:43
next time on Clydesdale Media Roundtable.
47:45
Bye, guys.
