So, yeah, again,
1:32
this is the first week of
1:32
Lunch with the Clydesdale.
1:33
It's gone really well.
1:34
It's been really fun hanging
1:35
out with you guys, really enjoying it.
1:39
And it's something different
1:40
than we do with the other shows.
1:43
We may talk a little bit of CrossFit stuff,
1:45
and we're going to do that today.
1:46
But it's going to be more of
1:47
an appetizer and focusing
1:49
more on the big shows for
1:50
the details of all that stuff.
1:53
our Sunday night CrossFit
1:54
talk show and our
1:55
roundtable from yesterday,
1:57
which the roundtable,
1:58
we had an awesome
1:59
discussion yesterday about
2:00
the new judges seminar and
2:02
certificate and how they're
2:03
handling judging,
2:04
as well as the service open
2:06
and the community cup.
2:08
So if you want to go back
2:09
and listen to that,
2:11
the full crew was here yesterday.
2:12
We had Kat, Amy,
2:14
and Charlie with us talking
2:16
about all that stuff.
2:17
And there's been a lot of
2:19
buzz today with some CrossFit news,
2:21
which we'll get into off the top.
2:23
But Jamie and Carolyn and I
2:25
have already been hitting
2:26
the tech strings about
2:28
everything that's been
2:29
announced today and last night.
2:32
And we will get into a lot
2:33
more detail on that on Sunday night,
2:36
eight o'clock Eastern time.
2:37
Make sure you check out
2:39
Sunday night CrossFit talk
2:40
for all of that.
2:41
But what we're going to be
2:42
talking about on Sunday,
2:43
I'll give you a brief appetizer today.
2:46
because we're having lunch,
2:47
you get your appetizer.
2:48
We'll start off with that.
2:50
CrossFit has made two big
2:51
announcements in the last
2:53
twenty four hours,
2:55
and I'm going to share my
2:56
screen real quick.
2:57
The one that just came out
2:58
within the last thirty
3:00
minutes is the in-person
3:05
Um,
3:05
the in-person qualifying events have
3:08
been announced and how many
3:09
spots for the games each, um,
3:13
event will get, uh,
3:14
Sarah is up early with us, uh,
3:17
more towards the west coast, I guess,
3:18
eating breakfast right now.
3:20
So awesome.
3:23
So the twenty twenty five
3:25
season in-person qualifying
3:27
events and qualifying spots
3:29
are as follows.
3:32
uh mayhem classic is going
3:34
to kick us off for the
3:35
season um I have said this
3:37
in the past the original
3:39
mayhem classic which there
3:40
was only one of them was
3:42
the best event I'd ever
3:43
been to in person I'm so
3:45
excited to see them on the
3:47
lineup for this they will
3:48
get two men and two women
3:50
uh directly qualifying from
3:52
there if they have not
3:53
already done so in another way
3:55
which they can't at this
3:56
point because the online
3:58
semifinal wouldn't have happened yet.
4:01
They get two men and two
4:02
women directly to the CrossFit Games.
4:05
Then we have Wadland Fest in Malaga, Spain,
4:09
April twenty fifth and twenty seventh.
4:11
That is two men and two women as well.
4:14
And then a second European
4:16
in-person event with the
4:18
French throwdown May ninth
4:19
and through the eleventh at Montpelier,
4:22
France, two men and two women there.
4:25
So Europe gets two in-person
4:27
qualifying events.
4:29
Then we have the Rebel Renegade Games,
4:31
May twenty ninth through
4:32
June first in Vanderburg Park,
4:35
South Africa.
4:37
That gets one man and one
4:38
woman into the games.
4:40
Then the Far East Throwdown in Asia,
4:44
May thirtieth through June first in Busan,
4:46
Republic of Korea.
4:47
One man and one woman from there.
4:52
And we finish up with the Syndicate Crown,
4:54
May thirtieth through June
4:56
first in Knoxville, Tennessee.
4:57
Two men and two women from there.
5:00
The Taurean Pro,
5:02
which has a very elaborate
5:04
website already developed
5:06
with a lot of detail for
5:07
them that we will get into
5:10
on Sunday night,
5:11
May thirtieth through June
5:12
first in Brisbane, Australia.
5:14
Two men and two women will
5:16
qualify from that.
5:17
And then the Fittest Experience, TFX.
5:21
um they not will not only
5:23
have a january event but
5:24
now they're going to have a
5:25
may event to be determined
5:27
when in may uh oklahoma
5:30
city oklahoma uh two men
5:32
and two women will qualify
5:34
from that event uh so north
5:36
america will have three
5:38
in-person semi-finals with
5:41
six spots available for men and women
5:45
Copa Sur will be in Brazil.
5:47
Two dates are to be determined.
5:49
Two men and two women from
5:51
that event will make it on
5:52
to the CrossFit Games.
5:54
So exciting stuff.
5:55
Now we know kind of about
5:57
when these will take place,
5:58
what the events are.
6:03
So there's nine events.
6:07
So seven of them are two.
6:08
That's fourteen spots.
6:10
And then the two ones make
6:11
it sixteen spots.
6:13
So there will be sixteen
6:14
spots doled out at
6:17
in-person semifinals that
6:19
are listed here.
6:21
And then as you read the
6:22
rules that were released,
6:24
that is somewhere between
6:26
fifteen and twenty.
6:28
We're going to get in from
6:29
the online and hopefully
6:31
that means the minimum of thirty.
6:33
Is that just that a minimum?
6:34
And maybe we go over a
6:36
little bit because I do
6:37
think thirty is too small
6:38
of a field for the CrossFit
6:39
Games since we are doing
6:40
away with regions and just
6:43
going with pure depth of
6:44
field or strength of field,
6:46
whatever you want to call that.
6:50
I do think that we need more
6:52
representation at the games than thirty.
6:53
So that announcement came
6:55
out within the last thirty minutes.
6:58
I will tell you just a
6:59
briefly like one of the
7:01
things that Torian Pro has
7:03
announced is their
7:04
qualifier is actually the first three,
7:07
the three weeks of the open.
7:09
And then they're adding a
7:10
week for for their to be
7:12
part of their qualifier.
7:14
So you have to do the first
7:15
three weeks of the Open,
7:17
and then there will be a
7:17
fourth week where they will
7:19
name their own workout for that.
7:21
It's video required.
7:23
You have to do it through
7:23
Competition Corner.
7:26
And then they will take the
7:29
results from the Open and
7:30
then that fourth week to
7:32
get the thirty best
7:34
athletes to the Torian Pro.
7:37
So that is one example of a
7:38
qualifier for that.
7:42
But again, we will get into much,
7:44
much more detail.
7:45
And hopefully some of these
7:46
other events will release
7:48
information on their qualifiers,
7:50
and we can compare and
7:51
contrast what all those are
7:52
on Sunday night.
7:54
Again, Jamie, Carolyn,
7:56
and I have already been texting,
7:57
and it's heated as to the
8:00
way things are going.
8:02
And so I'm excited to get
8:03
their perspective on Sunday
8:05
night CrossFit talk.
8:08
The other thing that was
8:09
announced in the last
8:10
twenty four hours was the
8:13
at the safety council.
8:17
And what's unique about this is.
8:22
I think that CrossFit
8:24
actually has done pretty good.
8:25
I've done some preliminary
8:26
research into the Safety Council.
8:29
I think that it is a very
8:34
diverse group with very
8:35
specific skill sets.
8:38
The two names that
8:39
everybody's going to know
8:40
are Katie Henniger and Rich Froning.
8:43
but the other people come
8:44
bringing to the table are,
8:45
have very specific specialties, uh,
8:48
which fits some of the
8:49
needs of what CrossFit is doing.
8:52
And so I'm really excited to
8:54
see what's going on here.
8:56
I think my only reluctance
8:57
to any of this is that why
8:59
didn't CrossFit tout this?
9:01
Because as I'm digging in
9:02
more and more of these,
9:04
this seems to be like a
9:05
pretty well put together
9:07
group and maybe something
9:08
CrossFit should tout.
9:10
Um,
9:11
But again,
9:12
they've been very quiet in just
9:14
letting these posts kind of
9:16
do the talking for them.
9:19
What's up, Kat?
9:20
You can always jump in if you want to.
9:26
So here is the safety game
9:28
safety and advisory board.
9:29
And again,
9:29
we'll talk about this more on
9:31
Sunday night.
9:33
We have Robert O. One thing
9:35
I learned about him is that
9:37
he specializes in the way
9:39
the body adapts to heat and
9:42
corrective actions to that
9:45
to prevent things with the heat.
9:51
Rich Froning,
9:53
we need not forget that he
9:54
was a first responder
9:55
before he was a CrossFit athlete.
9:57
So he brings that to the
9:58
table as well as all the
10:00
stuff of being an athlete
10:02
for so many years.
10:03
Katie Henniger, everybody knows her,
10:06
owner of Rogue and event
10:09
organizer for the Rogue Invitational.
10:13
Brian McGuire.
10:16
Alison Brager.
10:17
I learned on the Hiller
10:18
video that she is a,
10:23
one of her specialties is
10:25
deep water rescue.
10:28
So that's pretty cool.
10:31
We have Manuel Cruz.
10:35
We have Michael Cohen.
10:36
He is the CEO of USA Masters
10:38
Weightlifting.
10:41
And we have Mark Ritchie,
10:43
who seems to be very
10:46
qualified as well when you
10:47
look into his backstory.
10:48
And again,
10:49
once I research all these people,
10:51
Sunday night we'll talk
10:51
about what they all bring to the table.
10:55
But super excited.
10:56
I think this was really well
10:58
done by CrossFit.
11:00
And my only complaint is I
11:01
wish they would have touted
11:03
it a little bit more.
11:04
Because I think that they
11:07
actually did something really well here.
11:12
So those are the big new
11:18
stories from the last twenty four hours.
11:22
I'm looking at some comments here.
11:25
Cat says so sounds like they
11:27
will bring back open water swimming.
11:30
If you are getting someone
11:32
on your safety council that
11:33
specializes in deep water rescue,
11:36
I think that is probably a
11:38
safe assumption at some point.
11:47
Again, I think they did a really good job.
11:51
We're always critical of
11:52
CrossFit when they screw the pooch,
11:54
but I think in this case,
11:56
they actually put together
11:57
a pretty good group.
12:00
I know some people have
12:01
complained that it's not independent,
12:03
that some of these people
12:04
are very embedded in the
12:07
CrossFit landscape.
12:09
But I didn't see anywhere
12:10
where this was supposed to
12:11
be an independent group.
12:14
I need to go back to the
12:15
original release that they
12:16
did to see if they use the
12:18
word independent.
12:19
But in this release,
12:21
there is no verbiage saying
12:23
independent releasing who the people are.
12:25
So with that, we'll see what transpires.
12:30
But I do need to go back and
12:31
look at the original
12:32
release as part of my
12:34
research for this for Sunday night.
12:36
But we'll talk about that then, of course.
12:41
So a couple of fun things I
12:43
wanted to talk about today
12:45
is we'll start with the
12:48
college football playoff
12:49
and then we'll end with a
12:50
fun CrossFit thing that I
12:52
came up with in the middle
12:54
of the night last night and
12:55
decided to put on the agenda.
12:57
is we have the first ever
12:59
twelve team college
13:00
football playoff going on
13:01
this weekend and I could
13:03
not be any more excited it
13:04
kicks off tonight with
13:07
Indiana visiting Notre Dame
13:09
at home in South Bend but
13:13
what's crazy cool about
13:14
that is they're less than
13:15
two hours apart I believe
13:18
in the state of Indiana and
13:20
the state of Indiana is
13:21
going to go nuts tonight
13:22
with two teams in the
13:23
college football playoff
13:24
going head to head
13:26
tonight.
13:27
Notre Dame is a six and a
13:28
half point favorite.
13:30
I'm actually picking Indiana
13:32
to beat Notre Dame tonight.
13:35
That is my one upset from
13:36
the weekend that I'm calling.
13:40
Indiana's put together a great season.
13:43
Notre Dame seems to play
13:44
uneven throughout the year
13:46
and hasn't really played as
13:48
tough a schedule as some
13:50
might want to think.
13:51
And Indiana gets dogged for that a lot,
13:53
but I think Indiana is
13:54
going to pull the upset tonight.
13:57
Then tomorrow at noon,
13:59
at noon Eastern time,
14:00
we have SMU at Penn State.
14:04
That's my team.
14:09
Jody Lynn,
14:09
Rich Froning will not like that bet.
14:12
You are correct.
14:13
My best friend's a Notre Dame fan too,
14:14
so I'm sure I will hear about it all day.
14:20
But when I grew up, in all honesty, Jody,
14:22
is I hated Notre Dame.
14:24
I rooted for Penn State and
14:25
anybody who played Notre Dame.
14:27
Those were my two teams when
14:28
I was growing up.
14:30
So there might be a little
14:31
bit of a bias in my pick of
14:33
Indiana over Notre Dame tonight.
14:37
So SMU is coming to Happy Valley.
14:38
I heard this morning that
14:39
SMU's average temperature
14:41
that they played in this
14:42
year was seventy two degrees.
14:44
Happy Valley in Pennsylvania
14:46
will not be seventy two
14:47
degrees this weekend.
14:49
It'll most likely be in the thirties.
14:51
That gives me confidence
14:52
that my Nittany Lions will
14:55
cover the eight and a half
14:56
points they are favored by.
14:58
And I am picking Penn State
14:59
to beat SMU tomorrow noon Eastern time.
15:04
Then the middle game
15:05
tomorrow is Clemson at Texas.
15:09
There's a lot of scuttle
15:11
about Quentin yours being
15:13
the quarterback that can
15:14
lead Texas with Arch
15:16
Manning on the bench and
15:19
that there may be a swap at
15:20
some point during the game
15:21
to go to Arch Manning.
15:24
We'll see about that.
15:25
Texas is actually favored by
15:27
twelve points.
15:29
I think that might be.
15:31
The line may be too big to take Texas on,
15:36
but straight up,
15:37
I'm taking Texas to beat Clemson,
15:40
but I'm not sure they'll cover on that.
15:44
And then finally,
15:45
the night game here in Columbus, Ohio.
15:48
I'm so sick of the Buckeye fans.
15:50
We have Tennessee visiting
15:52
the great state of Ohio and
15:54
the horseshoe here in
15:55
Columbus to take on the
15:57
Ohio State Buckeyes.
15:59
Ohio State is favored by seven and a half.
16:02
I think that actually Ohio
16:03
State will handle this game
16:04
pretty easily.
16:05
um tennessee again is at a
16:07
very uneven season they're
16:09
very one-dimensional and
16:11
their one dimension is
16:12
something that the ohio
16:13
state defense is very good
16:14
at and so I believe that
16:16
ohio state will not only
16:17
win the game but cover the
16:18
spread of seven and a half points
16:21
And the lines I'm giving you
16:22
are all from ESPN Bet.
16:25
Not that I'm encouraging people to bet,
16:27
but those are the lines,
16:28
and that's where I stand on my pick.
16:32
So just to recap,
16:33
Indiana win the upset over Notre Dame.
16:36
These are all straight up
16:37
without the lines.
16:39
Penn State will beat SMU.
16:41
Texas will beat Clemson.
16:42
And Ohio State will beat Tennessee.
16:46
And then we move on to the
16:47
second round of the playoffs,
16:48
which will be fun.
16:49
So super excited about that.
16:52
So the other thing I wanted
16:54
to talk about is one of the
16:55
things I watched this week
16:56
was Hiller's video with
16:58
Erica Follow and the twenty
17:01
four hours or forty eight hours,
17:02
whatever he does with the athlete.
17:06
And and then she was on the
17:08
spin on Wednesday night and
17:11
I had heard this story before,
17:12
but it was it was
17:13
reiterated on the spin on
17:15
Wednesday night.
17:16
And that is that she was called by the WWE
17:21
and given an opportunity to
17:23
try out to be a wrestler in the WWE.
17:27
She went to Philadelphia and
17:28
she went through the tryout
17:30
and did not make it onto the WWE.
17:34
And yes, Chris,
17:36
she used the name The Pink Powerhouse.
17:41
The feedback she was given
17:42
is more of her on-camera
17:46
work and the promotional
17:48
work that a wrestler needs
17:49
to do to hype up the crowd.
17:51
She called herself the Pink Powerhouse.
17:54
I think she could have done
17:55
better on the name and been
17:57
able to hype up the crowd.
17:59
a little bit more and but
18:01
she said it was tough um
18:03
the physical stuff the
18:06
cardio and the workout
18:08
stuff she was great at but
18:09
the in-ring stuff was was pretty crazy um
18:16
So Kat's asking,
18:17
did we interview her back in the day?
18:20
I'm really not sure.
18:22
We've done so many semifinal interviews.
18:24
I had her scheduled this year,
18:26
and then she had to cancel,
18:29
so we missed out on her
18:30
interview this year.
18:30
But we did have her scheduled this year.
18:32
I'm not sure if we did in
18:34
previous years or not.
18:39
By we, I mean me.
18:41
Again, I don't know, Kat.
18:45
Again, we did so many,
18:46
and we split up those first
18:47
couple years so much that
18:49
if you or Amy or Charlie did them,
18:50
it's probably not ingrained
18:51
in my head like the ones
18:52
that I did personally.
18:56
But yeah.
18:59
So my thought was,
19:02
she gets this call.
19:04
Um, and if you've ever seen her, she,
19:05
she's jacked, right?
19:07
She is a,
19:08
she is a walking advertisement
19:10
for what CrossFit can do.
19:12
Um, and that, so that's pretty cool.
19:16
And that she was called.
19:17
So I thought of all the,
19:20
the people in the history of CrossFit,
19:22
who would make the best wrestlers?
19:26
so I jotted down just off
19:28
the top of my head and I'm
19:29
sure I'm missing somebody
19:31
and that's where I'm going
19:31
to rely on you the audience
19:33
to tell me who I missed um
19:36
these are the people that I
19:37
think would make the best
19:39
wrestlers um with the wwe
19:44
so I'm going to start with
19:44
the men and these are my
19:47
top five I'm going to start
19:49
at five and go to one so at
19:52
number five I have nick matthew
19:55
The dude is a freakishly
19:57
strong and freakishly
19:59
athletic human being that
20:01
can do a lot of weird stuff.
20:03
I picture him as the guy
20:04
that goes up on the top rope,
20:06
is able to do the flips, the back flips,
20:10
the splashes onto another opponent,
20:13
and he's goofy enough with
20:15
the crop tops and his
20:17
personality that I think he
20:18
would fit right in with the
20:20
WWE and might actually be a
20:22
little bit higher than some
20:23
of these other people.
20:24
Because the other people I
20:25
picked were basically on
20:26
body composition.
20:29
And number four, the main man,
20:32
Rich Froning.
20:33
I think that he's a great smack talker.
20:36
He is great at the ad libs.
20:39
Um, in the moment,
20:40
I think he would be great
20:41
at hyping up the crowds.
20:44
Um,
20:44
he has the body like a wrestler where he,
20:47
uh, rips off the shirt, does the stuff.
20:51
Um, so at number four,
20:52
I have rich froning on my, um,
20:55
wishlist for WWE at number three.
20:59
Um,
21:01
the main man who does
21:02
jujitsu now instead of CrossFit, um,
21:05
but does still does CrossFit stays shape.
21:07
And that is Jason Kalipa.
21:09
Um, the man is a monster.
21:12
When you see him in person,
21:13
he's just a thick human being.
21:16
And, uh, I think he would make a great,
21:20
great asset to the WWE.
21:24
Um, at number two, I have Chandler Smith.
21:28
Um,
21:31
You have a former Army veteran.
21:32
You have the guy who
21:35
bleached his hair blonde as
21:36
soon as he got out.
21:38
He is a specimen of a human being.
21:42
I think that he fits the
21:44
mold of a great wrestler.
21:47
And he has the funny
21:48
personality to really lure in the crowd.
21:51
So at number two, I have Chandler Smith.
21:56
And at number one,
21:57
this is a guy that I've
21:58
always said that if I could
22:00
cut my head off and put on
22:01
anybody in the world,
22:03
it would be this dude.
22:05
And so at number one, I have Neil Maddox.
22:10
Again, incredibly strong.
22:13
He could lift the people up
22:14
for the body slams and the
22:15
pile drivers and all of those things.
22:18
And he's just a walking
22:19
human specimen of what a
22:22
person can do with their body.
22:24
I think that Neil Maddox
22:26
would fit in beautifully in the WWE.
22:30
so my five male crossfit
22:34
athletes that I think would
22:35
make awesome wwe wrestlers
22:37
are number five nick
22:39
matthew number four rich
22:40
froning number three jason
22:42
kalipa number two chandler
22:44
smith and number one neil
22:47
maddox cory leonard comes
22:52
in with a solid uh sam
22:54
dancer you are correct he's
22:56
got the hair um
23:01
he's got the physique.
23:03
Um, he is not ashamed to wear the, uh,
23:06
teeny bikini, um, in the ring.
23:09
Um, yeah, that, that's a great one.
23:14
Great choice.
23:15
Great choice.
23:16
Love it.
23:20
Um, for the women,
23:23
I have five women that I would pick.
23:26
Um,
23:28
number five danielle brandon
23:33
dyes the hair has the fu
23:36
attitude um flipping off
23:38
the crowd um talks a lot of
23:43
smack um I think that
23:46
danielle brandon would fit
23:48
beautifully as a heel in the wwe
23:54
At number four, we have Ariel Loewen.
23:57
Again,
23:57
she has built her strength up so much.
24:01
She is great.
24:02
If you've watched her Instagram,
24:03
she is great on camera.
24:06
Now her YouTube channel,
24:08
she is getting to be super
24:09
funny and super inspirational.
24:12
And I think she would make a
24:14
great wrestler in the WWE.
24:18
then as her tag team partner
24:20
uh danny spiegel I think
24:22
would make another great um
24:23
addition to the wwe um she
24:27
is so strong she could
24:29
throw some women around the
24:31
ring doing the body slams
24:32
doing the pile drivers
24:33
doing all that kind of
24:34
stuff and she is super
24:36
athletic if you've ever
24:37
seen her at rogue and like
24:38
the over under events all
24:41
those athletic events she crushes
24:44
um and her athleticism would
24:46
make her a phenomenal
24:47
athlete in the wwe and
24:50
number two I have elizabeth
24:51
akinwale um she is a
24:55
specimen um when it comes
24:57
to uh her muscle structure
25:00
um she can look into the
25:01
camera and she is can be ferocious um
25:07
she is intimidating.
25:08
Uh,
25:10
I think Elizabeth Akinwale would be an
25:12
amazing wrestler.
25:13
She is so athletic, so good.
25:15
And number one, I have Cara Saunders.
25:20
Um,
25:21
Cara Saunders just has that like spark
25:23
plug, um,
25:27
aggressive like early year
25:28
cara saunders like just
25:30
mean get after it um I
25:33
think car saunders would
25:34
make an exceptional uh
25:37
wrestler she's also super
25:38
athletic uh she could
25:40
bounce off the ropes uh and
25:43
then with those legs just
25:44
do a nice big leg drop on
25:46
on the person and uh and call it a match
25:53
just the Hulk Hogan leg drop
25:54
move or um the people's
25:56
elbow like The Rock um yeah
26:00
even like I could see her
26:02
whipping off a stone cold
26:03
stunner uh so I think that
26:06
Kara is my number one
26:08
choice as a WWE wrestler so just to um
26:14
to recap number five
26:16
danielle brandon number
26:18
four ariel lowen number
26:19
three danny spiegel number
26:21
two elizabeth that can wale
26:23
number one cara saunders uh
26:27
wow lots of comments um we
26:32
have from slater uh pepper
26:35
would be good I think yep you're right
26:39
And he's getting him and
26:41
Hopper would be good additions.
26:43
The smack talk that happens,
26:45
I think would be awesome.
26:55
Jody says too many good and
26:56
women athletes to choose from.
26:59
But then she says, Oh, Cara.
27:00
Yes.
27:01
Yes.
27:03
Cat says Cara is a brick shit house.
27:04
Perfect.
27:07
Corey comes in with Becca Miller.
27:10
Do you mean Becca Voigt
27:12
Miller or a new Becca Miller?
27:16
And then Slater hits a
27:17
couple obvious ones that I missed.
27:19
Laura Horvat and Kelsey Keel.
27:21
Yes, they would both be exceptional.
27:24
Kelsey's a great athlete.
27:26
And so is Laura.
27:28
I think they would make
27:29
exceptional wrestlers.
27:31
Laura Horvath is so intimidating.
27:33
I think she would be awesome.
27:38
And she'd make a great heel.
27:40
Great heel.
27:44
So, yeah.
27:51
Corey says, Becca Voigt-Miller.
27:52
I saw her last weekend.
27:53
She's jacked.
27:54
Jacked.
27:56
Um, okay.
27:58
Okay.
28:00
I would say she's jacked.
28:01
I don't think she's Kara
28:02
Saunders jacked or Kelsey Keel jacked.
28:06
Um, but I love Becca.
28:07
I mean, uh,
28:09
cattle remember this when we
28:10
were with morning chalk up,
28:11
we used her as a, an analyst.
28:14
Um, and she came on the show all the time.
28:17
I love Becca.
28:18
She's,
28:18
she's just one of the best people in
28:19
the sport.
28:21
Uh, but yeah, sure.
28:23
We'll go with Becca.
28:26
tag teamer with, uh, uh,
28:29
Kristen clever and the Mohawk.
28:31
Yeah, that might be something there.
28:36
Well, this little,
28:36
that might be pretty fun.
28:42
But when I heard Erica follow,
28:43
tell the story, um, it just got my,
28:46
my twelve-year-old juices
28:47
flowing about like when I loved wrestling,
28:50
I say twelve-year-old and I
28:51
watched it probably into my thirties.
28:53
Um,
28:55
got my juice flowing about
28:56
old time wrestlers and like
28:58
who I thought would make, uh, the best,
29:00
the best athletes to go into, uh,
29:03
the WWE.
29:05
And,
29:05
I can't believe I missed Laura Horvat.
29:07
Man, that was dumb.
29:09
And Kelsey Keel is a great choice too.
29:12
Uh, uh, Slater says he loves froning,
29:16
but he's small.
29:16
Uh, maybe,
29:21
but there's small wrestlers too.
29:22
Like wrestlers come in all sizes, uh,
29:25
So, uh, so fun stuff.
29:34
So, yeah,
29:34
so that's pretty much what I had
29:36
on the agenda for today.
29:40
Um, now, of course,
29:41
coming in with John Para,
29:42
that dude is huge.
29:43
Are these all masters athletes?
29:44
Are you trying to get me to
29:45
pick old people to go into WWE?
29:53
Corey goes to his first
29:54
elite Masters competition,
29:55
and now that's all he can talk about.
29:57
That and that he beat that
30:00
Jason Grubb guy in one workout.
30:08
Jody Lynn, old people.
30:11
Yeah.
30:12
You got to remember, the older we get,
30:14
the more brittle the bones are, man.
30:16
Although, hell,
30:18
you see Hogan making a comeback and
30:22
rock making a comeback they
30:24
keep bringing them back all
30:25
all over the place so yeah
30:33
um yeah this was fun it was
30:36
fun doing this uh the last
30:38
thing I'll just throw out
30:39
there is uh I just finished
30:44
a a phil collins
30:45
documentary uh for those of
30:47
you who've been following
30:48
the show for a while
30:51
Um, I,
30:53
my other love other than like sports
30:55
and CrossFit is music and man,
30:58
it's a two hour documentary
31:00
and he's interviewed by his
31:01
son who actually took over for him in his,
31:04
in his own band and in the, in Genesis.
31:08
And they talk about like his career and,
31:11
and how things ended up for him.
31:15
And right now he's very, very,
31:17
very brittle because of how
31:19
he played the drums.
31:21
And you have all these
31:22
people from every genre of
31:23
music in this documentary
31:25
talking about how he's the greatest.
31:27
From the drummer from Papa
31:30
Roach to Chad Smith from
31:31
the Chili Peppers to jazz
31:35
musicians to pop musicians.
31:39
Even Marilyn Manson's
31:40
drummer says that Phil
31:41
Collins is the best.
31:43
Um, and so it was really cool.
31:45
Uh, cause as I.
31:49
when I started listening to
31:50
Phil Collins and Genesis back in the day,
31:52
I liked them a lot.
31:53
They were one of my favorite bands,
31:55
but never really took like
31:57
a huge piece of my heart,
31:59
like some of my other bands.
32:00
But as I got, I've gotten older, like I've,
32:02
I appreciate that music so much more.
32:05
And in my vinyl collection,
32:06
I have as much Genesis and
32:08
Phil Collins music as I
32:10
have of just about anybody.
32:12
Um, so yeah,
32:16
was a really good
32:17
documentary I'll probably
32:18
get into a little bit more
32:19
at some point next week
32:20
because the holiday week
32:21
I'm guessing not a ton of
32:22
crossfit news will come out
32:24
uh so we'll talk about some
32:25
fun stuff around that and
32:27
some different things
32:28
around christmas and
32:29
christmas traditions
32:30
holiday traditions things
32:32
of that ilk um but uh but yeah we'll
32:39
we'll do that next week,
32:40
but it was fun to watch the documentary.
32:43
I also started the Aaron
32:44
Rogers documentary.
32:46
Um, as a bears fan,
32:47
I'm not sure I'm going to
32:48
make it through this one.
32:49
It's been tough to watch so
32:51
far just cause I do not like that dude.
32:54
Um,
32:56
I think he's interesting.
32:57
I think he was a great quarterback.
32:59
But as a Bears fan,
33:00
I just can't handle Aaron Rodgers much.
33:03
But I wanted to see some of
33:05
the weird stuff he was doing.
33:06
Maybe I'll get through it
33:07
over the weekend or into next week,
33:09
and we can talk about that a little bit.
33:11
But I tried.
33:18
Jody says, start over Papa Birch's here.
33:22
Man, Jay Burch,
33:23
you've been consistent all
33:24
week until today.
33:26
I thought teachers were always on time.
33:29
But now that you're retired, man,
33:30
just go with the flow.
33:32
Do your workout when you want to do it.
33:34
Show up to shows when you want to show up.
33:37
Man, must be nice.
33:41
Started season two of Tulsa King.
33:43
It's good.
33:44
Yeah.
33:47
Season two is better than season one.
33:49
guaranteed I think you'll
33:50
like it a lot I can't wait
33:52
till you get to the end
33:53
because there's a there's a
33:57
nice twist at the end that
33:58
I have not been able to
33:58
talk to anybody about
33:59
because nobody has made it
34:00
to the end of season two in
34:02
my friend group yet so when
34:05
you reach the end Jay Birch
34:07
reach out to me man because
34:09
I have theories I have a
34:10
lot of things I just have
34:13
to talk to somebody about
34:17
Corey Leonard says Rogers is
34:18
an interesting guy.
34:19
That's about it for me.
34:21
Yeah.
34:21
I mean, I think he's interesting.
34:22
I, you know,
34:24
I guess they go behind the
34:25
scenes of like his
34:27
ayahuasca retreat retreat
34:28
and all that kind of stuff.
34:30
I just haven't made it that far yet.
34:32
I really got sucked into this, um,
34:34
phil collins documentary uh
34:36
and I loved every minute of
34:37
that and actually rewound
34:39
it a few times it's on
34:41
youtube I just like you
34:42
know pulled the thing back
34:44
rewound like it's I went
34:47
back and re-listened to
34:49
different things because I
34:49
was just so fascinated
34:51
about cool stuff but um but
34:55
anyway it's amazing what
34:58
it's amazing how good he
34:59
was and then how being a drummer has
35:04
wrecked his body because of
35:06
the way the drummers in the
35:07
seventies and eighties kits
35:10
were built and how they set up to it.
35:12
And one thing I didn't know
35:14
is like the electronic
35:16
drums of the eighties,
35:18
the pads were made of
35:19
formica that didn't give.
35:21
And,
35:21
and so when they would hit them like a
35:23
real drum,
35:25
the shock would come back their
35:26
thumbs into their wrist,
35:27
into their elbow and
35:29
basically created a massive
35:30
carpal tunnel situation where,
35:32
all the way down their arms.
35:35
And so there's,
35:36
he can't even grip sticks at this point.
35:39
It's so bad.
35:41
And it was just like he woke
35:43
up one day and it was all gone.
35:46
So that's a little sad part,
35:49
but there's a lot of really
35:50
cool stuff in it as well.
35:54
So, yeah.
35:57
Daughter gets in tomorrow
35:58
for the holidays.
35:59
She'll be with us through
36:01
Wednesday and Christmas Day.
36:05
So that'll be fun for us.
36:06
That was a little bit of a change of plan,
36:09
even in the last twenty
36:10
four hours that she's going
36:11
to be with us a little bit longer.
36:12
So super excited about that.
36:18
Couple comments I missed.
36:21
Denae Brown, old school OG,
36:24
that's a good one.
36:25
Denae Brown was awesome.
36:26
So yeah,
36:35

36:37
the Twitch space,
36:38
which I have not seen before on this show,
36:42
but cool to welcome here.
36:46
But yeah, so, uh, gonna go up, get some,
36:50

36:52
hope you guys have had a great lunch
36:55
and we will see you Sunday night,
36:58
eight PM Eastern time on Sunday night.
37:00
CrossFit talk.
37:02
Uh,
37:04
where we will talk about the
37:05
safety council.
37:06
We will talk about the
37:08
in-person semifinal events
37:09
that we talked about off
37:10
the top in much more detail,
37:13
getting the perspective of
37:15
active CrossFit athletes,
37:17
Carolyn Prevost and Jamie Latimer.
37:20
I'll give them the floor to
37:22
talk about what they think about it.
37:24
I'm telling you from the
37:25
text I've already gotten from Carolyn.
37:27
She has some strong feelings
37:28
in certain directions.
37:30
So it'll be interesting to
37:32
see what she feels about this.
37:34
So make sure to join us then.
37:37
With that, Jody Lynn asks me one question.
37:40
Do you work at the same desk
37:41
you podcast from?
37:43
so at one point I did but I
37:46
no longer do my podcast
37:49
center is in my basement
37:51
and it is actually pretty
37:52
chilly down here so if I do
37:54
have a heater that I could
37:55
turn on um but basically I
38:00
separate the two this is my
38:01
break in my work day I get
38:03
up from my desk upstairs
38:05
and I come downstairs to do
38:06
the podcast and then I go
38:08
back upstairs to go to work um
38:11
I've also,
38:11
I'm adding more and more fitness
38:14
equipment into the basement
38:15
so I can do a little bit of
38:16
workout down here during the wintertime.
38:21
And so, yeah,
38:22
my basement is just kind of
38:23
becoming my little man area
38:25
with podcast stuff and workout stuff.
38:29
And I'm really embracing
38:31
more body weight stuff right now.
38:33
And I'll get into that a
38:35
little bit later as to why, but yeah.
38:38
Yeah.
38:40
I really like having it as a
38:41
separate entity and a nice
38:43
break in my day.
38:46
So, yeah, really like it down here.
38:50
And this is my area,
38:52
the only place in my house
38:54
where I get to decorate
38:55
everything down here.
38:56
And so, yeah.
39:00
Just got to get my latest shirt hung.
39:04
If you can see behind me,
39:06
Freya Mooseburger.
39:07
That is one of her shirts,
39:08
Strong Like Moose.
39:10
I have that framed and signed.
39:12
I need to get that hung as well.
39:15
But yeah, it's coming along down here.
39:19
Coming along.
39:22
So with that, guys,
39:23

39:24
I hope you guys have a great lunch.

39:28
getting another ribeye in today.
39:31
It's always fun.
39:33
It's been great this week doing this.
39:35
It just kind of is a nice
39:36
breakup to the day.
39:37
I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend,
39:40
