Lunch with the Clydesdale - So Much to Talk About During a Slow Week? · Clydesdale Media Podcast

0:31
What is going on everybody?
0:33
It is lunchtime.
0:35
Lunchtime with Clydesdale.
0:38
Just got done with my morning at work.
0:40
This will be my last day at
0:41
work for almost a week as
0:45
I'm hitting the road
0:46
tomorrow for Montana.
0:48
Good morning, good afternoon,
0:50
wherever you're at, says Meredith.
0:53
Good morning, Meredith.
0:55
Jody, it is lunchtime.
0:57
It sure is.
0:58
So glad you both could be here today.
1:02
And we'll see who else kind
1:03
of rolls in here.
1:06
Um, yeah, so I'm, I'm prepping for my, Oh,
1:10
I gotta do my dart throw.
1:12
Gotta do my dart throw.
1:13
Here we go.
1:14
I'm going to move the mic today.
1:20
All right.
1:21
I got closer.
1:22
I'm in the inner circle,
1:23
not quite to the bullseye
1:25
about a third of the way down the nine.
1:28
I'm still hitting that nine kind of wedge.
1:31
Um,
1:31
I've been out on the outer edge of the
1:33
nine.
1:33
Now I'm in the inner circle.
1:35
wedge uh heading closer to
1:38
the bullseye so we're
1:39
making progress people
1:40
we're making progress it's
1:42
all about getting better
1:43
every day there we go I
1:45
think when I get back from
1:46
montana I'm actually going
1:48
to set up a quick camera uh
1:51
to film the board as I
1:52
throw so you guys can see
1:54
where it lands I think that would be cool
1:58
we'll do that just so you
1:59
can kind of see that but um
2:02
yeah so I'm prepping for my
2:03
trip and I am not sponsored
2:06
by anybody right now but I
2:07
am hoping to be um anyway
2:09
these high ground beef
2:10
chips I started I tried
2:12
those oh my goodness they
2:15
are so good they remind me
2:18
I grew up next to um a
2:20
general store owned by this
2:21
older lady who would make um
2:26
And I grew up in the woods.
2:27
So we lived in really rural
2:32
Pennsylvania around a lot of oil fields.
2:36
The Pennsylvania crude.
2:38
So oil lease roads everywhere.
2:40
Hunting and fishing was like
2:42
the sport of choice.
2:44
So this little general store next to me,
2:47
right next to me,
2:49
would make homemade beef jerky.
2:51
And...
2:54
And that's what that reminds me of.
2:56
Like really thin cut beef, dried out.
3:01
It's like perfect.
3:02
Super thin, super easy to chew.
3:05
Like I've gone to like
3:08
butcher shops and gotten
3:09
like really good beef jerky
3:11
at a high quality that was thick.
3:13
And by the time you finish like two pieces,
3:15
your jaw is like on fire.
3:19
So yeah,
3:20
highly recommend those beef chips.
3:22
They are so good, so tasty.
3:25
Just enough cayenne to kind
3:26
of give you a little sense of spice,
3:29
but not like spicy or hot
3:32
in any kind of way.
3:33
Just really, really good.
3:35
And there's only like three ingredients,
3:36
beef, salt, and cayenne pepper,
3:40
I think is it.
3:43
Elise is having eggs and burger for lunch.
3:45
How about y'all?
3:47
So my question to you,
3:47
Elise is I'm so picky about this.
3:52
I love an egg on my burger.
3:55
if I'm having a burger I
3:57
like to have an egg on it
3:59
but I am so picky about it
4:01
like if the yolk doesn't
4:03
run I get pissed and so
4:07
I'll be at a restaurant and
4:08
if the egg is an option for
4:09
my burger I I will ask the
4:12
waitress like can you
4:13
guarantee me that this yolk
4:15
will run because if it
4:16
doesn't run like it's just
4:17
a waste of my money
4:18
Like I want that yolk to
4:19
kind of like pour out over
4:22
the whole thing and almost
4:24
become the condiment of the burger.
4:28
But it sounds to me the way you wrote that,
4:31
that it's more like
4:31
scrambled eggs and maybe
4:33
like ground beef ground up
4:35
kind of inside the burger.
4:38
So just curious, but I love, I love that.
4:42
fried egg on my burger just
4:45
crack that yolk let it ooze
4:47
out and I'll even knife and
4:49
fork it if I have to to get
4:50
through it but man that is
4:54
the best but these high
4:57
ground beef beef chips
5:00
they're really good the
5:01
problem is if I open a bag
5:02
like the bag is done
5:06
The bag is completely done.
5:09
ACR says, I like runny yolk,
5:11
but today is egg bites and
5:12
plain burger patties.
5:17
Yeah, okay.
5:17
Yeah,
5:18
I've even done just the egg on a burger,
5:20
no bun, nothing,
5:21
just and cut it up with a
5:24
knife and a fork and just
5:26
love that runny yolk through the burger.
5:29
But yeah, I feel you.
5:32
I feel you, ACR.
5:34
That's good.
5:37
um so yeah so I'm planning
5:40
for this trip and I I went
5:43
to the store last night got
5:44
a bunch of vegetables I and
5:46
and I'm gonna chop those up
5:47
this afternoon uh to have
5:49
in the car because I I'm a
5:51
snacker when I'm in the car
5:52
and I need to have good
5:53
options when I do that so I
5:56
bought some celery some
5:57
green peppers uh some
5:58
carrots some cucumbers um
6:03
bought some grapes uh just
6:05
to kind of have there um at
6:09
our side while we're
6:10
traveling a little bit of
6:12
hummus but I don't even
6:13
usually dip my my veggies
6:15
anything but my daughter
6:17
does so we're gonna have a
6:18
little hummus and a lot of
6:19
veggies and some fruit to
6:22
kind of have on the road um
6:25
yeah just to kind of make it more uh
6:31
The big thing for me, I'm fifty five.
6:32
Right.
6:33
When I travel a lot and if I
6:35
if I eat some salty food or
6:36
drink salty drinks like my
6:38
legs will swell a little
6:40
bit and I don't want that to happen.
6:42
So I keep the fiber intake
6:43
up with the veggies and
6:47
really eat kind of healthy on the way.
6:49
But.
6:50
So prepping all that this afternoon,
6:52
packing up my last load of
6:53
laundries in the dryer,
6:55
getting ready for that.
6:56
And then off to see some moose, some elk.
7:00
But I was actually warned
7:01
this morning by Lex that
7:03
she used to take hikers up
7:07
into the mountains.
7:09
And moose are the most
7:11
dangerous animal to come
7:12
across in the wild.
7:14
And I didn't know that.
7:17
So I guess if I see a moose
7:18
on the way to Montana,
7:20
I'm hoping that I'm still
7:21
in the truck when I see
7:22
them so that I don't have
7:25
to encounter the moose face to face.
7:29
But yeah, I've never seen them.
7:30
I've said it a couple of times now.
7:32
I've never seen a bison or a
7:33
moose or an elk in the wild.
7:35
And I'm hoping that on my trip,
7:36
I get to see all three.
7:40
I like eggs anyway,
7:41
from boiled to runny yolk
7:42
and all the ways in between.
7:45
Me too.
7:46
But that is like, um,
7:49
these days that's like
7:51
fitty bucks to have a
7:53
couple of hard boiled eggs, man.
7:55
Um, I love hard boiled eggs.
7:58
Um, I love deviled eggs.
8:01
Yeah.
8:01
I love eggs.
8:02
Period.
8:04
Uh, Andrew says moose are gigantic.
8:07
Yeah.
8:07
I'm hoping I get to see one.
8:09
It'd be really cool.
8:14
I was thinking of,
8:18
I was thinking of like top five Tuesday,
8:24
like all the cool places of
8:26
all the places I've been in the world.
8:28
Where are the top five places I've been?
8:30
And what's crazy for me is, um,
8:35
All of them have like this
8:36
association with food.
8:38
So I didn't formally put together a list,
8:39
but like my top five places
8:41
I've ever been in the world
8:42
is like number one is New
8:44
Orleans for sure.
8:45
And it's really because of
8:46
the food I love and the
8:47
atmosphere just kind of
8:49
going down Bourbon Street.
8:52
And the food is so unique
8:53
and the people there just are so into it.
8:58
It's so cool.
9:00
That's awesome.
9:01
And when I was in Spokane, Washington,
9:05
that was awesome because
9:06
the salmon is so fresh.
9:08
I ate salmon like breakfast, lunch,
9:10
and dinner.
9:12
It tastes way different than
9:14
what we get here on the
9:16
East Coast or the Midwest
9:18
compared to that.
9:21
And Philadelphia is one
9:23
place I love to go.
9:25
I just love the soft pretzels there.
9:28
And I had one of the best
9:30
meals I've ever had at the
9:32
restaurant that held where
9:34
the men would go after the
9:36
first Continental Congress to eat.
9:38
And they still had food on
9:39
the menu from when they went.
9:42
So they had like rabbit stew
9:44
and stuff like that.
9:45
I had an awesome dinner there.
9:47
But that's what was going through my head.
9:48
Like,
9:48
why is it that my favorite places to
9:51
visit have a big connection with food?
9:57
Maybe that's been my problem
9:58
my whole life is that
10:00
that's where I prioritize things.
10:05
Uh, cat for lunch is having, uh,
10:07
rice crackers, Colby,
10:09
Jack cheese and Ben and Jerry's.
10:11
That is quite the mix, quite the mix.
10:19
Um,
10:23
so yeah so that's what I was
10:24
thinking about today um the
10:26
other thing I wanted to
10:28
talk about briefly today is
10:30
last night show was awesome
10:32
um we talked a little bit
10:35
about the team workouts
10:37
being released I'd say a
10:38
little bit we actually
10:38
talked a lot and if you
10:40
didn't see last night's show um
10:44
it cracked me up at the
10:45
beginning uh because
10:47
carolyn just dove right
10:49
into this thing so I'm
10:50
going to play this for you
10:51
if you haven't seen last
10:52
night's show what a trip um
10:55
we talked about the team
10:56
workout and them adding
10:58
running uh to the mix and
11:00
here's what carolyn had to
11:01
say is everybody in an
11:02
uproar rightly so yes and
11:09
that is workout four
11:11
This is an online semifinal
11:13
event for the teams.
11:17
And in this,
11:17
it starts with an eight hundred meter run,
11:20
one hundred pull ups,
11:22
eight hundred meter run,
11:23
one hundred chest of our pull ups,
11:26
eight hundred meter run,
11:27
one hundred muscle ups.
11:29
We have twenty five minutes.
11:32
Ring muscle up for that one.
11:33
Yeah.
11:34
Yeah.
11:34
Ring muscle ups.
11:38
So, Carolyn.
11:41
this is the stupidest thing
11:42
I've ever seen in my life
11:43
for a crossfit program
11:45
workout to go to a world
11:47
championship like the
11:47
crossfit games it is so
11:50
stupid to pro like running for distance
11:54
In an online format,
11:55
like there's no way that
11:57
anything is standardized.
11:58
You just took away the whole
11:59
standardization of an online competition.
12:01
The distances aren't going to be the same.
12:03
It called eight hundreds are
12:05
not going to be the same.
12:06
Even watch to watch is not the same.
12:10
The climate's different.
12:11
Like we're just able to run outdoors now,
12:14
like in certain climates.
12:16
Um,
12:16
some gyms have are in basements where
12:19
they have to go out of
12:20
their gym through hallways,
12:21
maybe upstairs,
12:22
down the stairs to get out.
12:25
Uh,
12:25
you have gyms in affiliates that are in
12:27
cities that have traffic
12:28
lights around them,
12:29
people walking busy streets.
12:33
You get the idea.
12:35
Um, she was not happy about,
12:37
I know there's been
12:37
internet uproar about this for the last
12:41
But she let her feelings be
12:42
known about that.
12:44
And if you want to see the
12:45
full take on that,
12:47
that was last night's show,
12:49
looking at the programming
12:51
for the teams in an online event.
12:54
We went on to talk about how
12:57
easy it would be to cheat.
12:59
We've already had people
13:00
impersonating judges.
13:02
We've already had missing videos.
13:05
We've already had lack of accreditation.
13:09
And with the teams,
13:10
you have to have three judges now.
13:12
You have to have two
13:14
on-floor judges and one
13:16
head judge for some of the events.
13:19
It was so hard for some of
13:20
the age group athletes to get two judges.
13:24
Now they're asking them to
13:25
get three for the team division.
13:28
This is so crazy what
13:30
they're doing by moving the
13:33
teams out of the in-person events.
13:37
And now they're doing their
13:38
semifinals online,
13:41
eight hundred meter runs.
13:43
And if you look at the standards,
13:45
there's no standard that
13:47
they have to be videoed on
13:48
the run at all.
13:50
So they can go out the door,
13:51
hide behind a tree,
13:53
count off the time about three,
13:55
three and a half minutes, roll back in.
13:58
and nobody is the wiser.
14:00
The standard is that you
14:01
have to take a video of the, the, um,
14:05
eight hundred when, and the course,
14:11
and then one of the
14:12
athletes needs to wear a
14:14
wearable device that tracks it.
14:17
So technically they're the
14:18
only one that have to run the damn thing.
14:21
Um,
14:23
And there's nothing to say
14:24
they have to do it at the
14:24
exact same time as the workout.
14:27
Just have them do an eight
14:28
hundred meter sprint and call it a day.
14:32
It's such a fiasco.
14:34
And I know that like and we
14:35
talked about this last
14:36
night is it's like CrossFit
14:39
is take making the
14:40
assumption that because you
14:41
have L ones and certified
14:44
judges that people are
14:45
going to be on the up and
14:47
up and not try to cheat.
14:49
that it will be prevented by
14:51
these people possessing the
14:52
credentials um that they do
14:55
and we found that people
14:56
are impersonating judges
14:57
and don't even have the
14:58
credentials um so that
15:01
isn't necessarily true um
15:05
and there are going to be
15:06
some teams that when given
15:07
the opportunity to cheat
15:09
will cheat um so it's going
15:12
to be interesting to see
15:13
how this goes this weekend and
15:17
If Hiller's going to be busy, busy, busy,
15:20
and I know he had a video
15:21
about this yesterday as well,
15:25
he said that he can just
15:26
picture someone knowing
15:28
that a team's going to
15:29
cheat and in the parking
15:30
lot with their camera up
15:32
over the steering wheel
15:36
getting ready to send a video to Hiller.
15:41
So...
15:45
Andrew Sten says,
15:45
I think this is more
15:46
evidence CrossFit doesn't
15:47
care about the team competition anymore.
15:49
I wonder if it'll go away completely soon.
15:56
I don't know my complete thoughts on that.
15:58
I see exactly where you're coming from.
16:04
I think they want to change the teams.
16:08
I think they want to make it
16:10
like a pairs competition.
16:14
I don't know.
16:17
I don't know.
16:19
I think the way the teams is
16:20
set up is not entertaining.
16:24
I think the way teams would
16:25
be more entertaining is if
16:28
it was run more like Waterpalooza SoCal,
16:32
where you have one person
16:35
take the floor for this event,
16:36
maybe two people on this event,
16:39
maybe four people on this event,
16:41
and it changes up throughout the weekend.
16:45
And it's part strategy, part fitness.
16:49
Like,
16:49
do I start this person against this
16:51
person or do I start that
16:53
person against that person or whatever?
16:56
And I think that's the way
16:57
it needs to change.
17:02
So, yeah.
17:05
But that's a topic for another day.
17:10
I think that changing the
17:11
team competition is
17:12
inevitable to make it more
17:14
entertaining because I'm
17:16
not sure in its current
17:17
format it can stand on its own.
17:19
And it really does appear
17:21
that CrossFit is pushing it
17:22
out there and forcing it to
17:25
stand on its own instead of
17:28
being a part of something.
17:30
So, yeah.
17:36
Yeah.
17:39
Um, I guess like, I, I, I just,
17:50
it baffles me that people
17:52
that have been around the sport this long,
17:54
if putting out or putting
17:55
out workouts like this and
17:56
not thinking that it's
17:57
going to be a complete cluster.
18:01
I think that's what's
18:02
baffling me more than
18:05
anything in this whole
18:07
endeavor is that these
18:09
people that have been around,
18:11
like Dave's been around
18:12
since the beginning.
18:13
Boz has been around since
18:15
almost the beginning.
18:17
How can you not look at this
18:18
workout and think, man,
18:21
we're going to have some problems?
18:26
I think that's what concerns me the most.
18:30
I like the idea that you're
18:32
forcing teams to run.
18:33
I think that that is a
18:35
crucial component of fitness,
18:37
but there's no way to judge
18:39
it and make it a fair competition, um,
18:43
in order to do it.
18:44
So, um, so yeah.
18:54
Um, so anyway,
18:59
Corey and ACR are having
19:00
quite the conversation.
19:03
Dang.
19:06
So, yeah.
19:07
So that's been going on this week.
19:12
I did watch the Brian Friend
19:14
Rich Froning podcast this morning.
19:18
My thoughts on that were
19:22
that I was ready to pop some popcorn.
19:23
I was ready to kind of see
19:24
what was going on.
19:27
And it kind of left me flat.
19:30
Um, I don't think,
19:33
I think the line of rich
19:35
saying that Brian was
19:38
contributing to the
19:39
divisiveness in the sport
19:41
never got addressed.
19:46
I think they spoke about what was,
19:48
what they felt was wrong with CrossFit.
19:50
I felt that they talked
19:52
about maybe some solutions
19:54
to what might be wrong with CrossFit,
19:56
but they never addressed.
20:00
They addressed the squat back and forth,
20:03
but never discussed the
20:07
divisive comment or that
20:09
Brian wanted to be paid to
20:12
be on the froning podcast.
20:16
That was just kind of left
20:18
out there with no answer.
20:23
So
20:26
I think Kenneth nails it.
20:28
It was overhyped.
20:30
They really did clickbait
20:31
the cut up of the interview
20:35
on Instagram where none of
20:39
those phrases were actually
20:40
together in the podcast,
20:43
but they put them together
20:44
to make it appear like it
20:45
was going to be juicy with a lot of tea.
20:50
And it turned out that it
20:51
wasn't that really at all.
20:55
So, um, so yeah,
21:01
my thoughts on the whole
21:02
thing are that we are,
21:07
we are a divided community at this point.
21:10
There, there is,
21:12
there is one group on one
21:14
side and one group on the other.
21:17
And I don't know what it's
21:19
going to take to bring
21:21
those two sides together again.
21:25
And I know I keep comparing
21:27
this to full swing,
21:29
but I am in season two of full swing.
21:31
And this happened in golf
21:34
with the Live Tour and the PGA.
21:37
And then they eventually
21:39
decided that the best thing
21:40
for the sport was to merge.
21:42
And when they did the merge, there were...
21:45
They worked so hard before
21:47
the merge to galvanize
21:49
their sides against the
21:51
other and then decided to merge.
21:54
And now you've created this
21:56
animosity against each side.
22:01
And now it's how are you
22:03
going to mend the fences?
22:05
I don't know.
22:07
I don't know what it will
22:09
take to do that in the CrossFit world.
22:13
I think the sale could be an
22:16
antagonist to that.
22:20
Depending on who buys
22:21
CrossFit could be the start
22:24
of mending those fences.
22:29
But I don't know.
22:30
I really don't know what's going on.
22:34
I did like the fact in the
22:36
Froning podcast that Rich
22:37
talked about the WFP not
22:40
really letting people know
22:42
what they were doing.
22:44
And it was hard to get
22:45
behind them when they
22:47
weren't telling you what
22:48
their intentions were.
22:51
And it actually turned Rich
22:54
from trying to find out
22:56
what was going on to being
22:58
pissed at them for not telling him.
23:01
And he said,
23:02
not like I need somebody to
23:04
come kiss the ring,
23:05
but we just wanted to know
23:07
what the deal was.
23:09
Um,
23:10
and he did get some answers from Brian
23:11
during the podcast.
23:13
Um, and I,
23:17
and I thought that was a little
23:18
bit interesting and it did kind of show,
23:23
um,
23:24
some of the weaknesses in the current
23:27
CrossFit game season.
23:29
Um,
23:32
And so CrossFit has kind of
23:33
let themselves open to a
23:36
competitor of some sort.
23:38
Now we don't know what's
23:39
going to happen with this.
23:41
Their first event is still
23:43
two and a half weeks away.
23:44
So we don't even know how
23:45
many people are going to
23:46
show up or if they're going
23:47
to do anything or if
23:49
anybody's going to watch.
23:54
My guess is the first tour
23:56
event will be watched a lot
23:58
because people have
24:00
curiosity and they're going
24:01
to want to know what it looks like,
24:03
what it sounds like,
24:05
the production value behind it,
24:07
and is it going to be worth anything.
24:10
and then you'll get all of
24:11
the criticism um or praise
24:14
the following week and when
24:16
they go to tour stop two um
24:18
my guess is those numbers
24:20
will drop some because the
24:21
curiosity will be gone um
24:24
and people that actually
24:25
like it will stay and
24:27
people that are critical of
24:28
it will go and then we'll see kind of uh
24:34
where they are at that point
24:36
and whether it's going to
24:37
be a viable option or not.
24:39
I don't think tour event one
24:40
tells us anything because I
24:42
think the curiosity will
24:43
increase the numbers and
24:44
the attendance in that first stop.
24:50
And then it's going to be
24:51
the second stop where we're
24:52
going to determine what the
24:54
real response to coming to
24:56
watch them or watching on
24:58
the stream is going to be like.
25:09
Buster Cherry says they have
25:12
an affiliate program that isn't created,
25:13
but are trying to get fifty
25:14
gyms to join to build it.
25:16
Not a very sound business plan.
25:18
So Brian Friend actually
25:20
responds to this in the
25:21
Froning podcast where the
25:26
premise behind this is to build
25:29
Build the affiliate program
25:31
using fifty strong
25:33
affiliates from different
25:35
places in the world,
25:36
from different points of view,
25:38
some CrossFit affiliates,
25:39
some high rocks affiliates
25:41
and kind of get them
25:42
together to build the business plan.
25:46
And that's why they're
25:47
called the founding fifty affiliates.
25:49
Because the idea isn't to go
25:53
from zero to a hundred with
25:55
the affiliate program,
25:56
but to grab the initial
25:59
group of members to have
26:03
them help them build it.
26:07
Which I don't hate that plan,
26:09
but to do it without that
26:12
explanation out front,
26:14
I think was a huge mistake.
26:22
So, and I think with that,
26:26
if they're going to slow
26:27
roll that into this first
26:29
fifty to come up with a business plan,
26:31
and depending on who buys
26:33
CrossFit in the next six months or so,
26:37
I think that either that
26:39
door is going to open or
26:40
that door is going to shut
26:41
depending on the sale of CrossFit.
26:44
So I think we're in a very
26:46
critical time in the next
26:48
six months to see where
26:52
opportunity may exist or
26:54
where CrossFit may solidify themselves.
26:58
But this sale is big because
27:01
there are people trying to
27:04
break down the door.
27:06
And can CrossFit solidify
27:09
that with good ownership
27:11
and a sound business plan?
27:13
Or are these other
27:15
opportunities going to open
27:16
up for the world fitness
27:18
projects of the world?
27:24
Just my opinion.
27:28
So, um,
27:33
So yeah,
27:34
I think that is the most that I
27:35
got out of the Froning
27:36
podcast was a little bit
27:38
better understanding of
27:39
what the World Fitness
27:40
Project is trying to achieve.
27:43
And I do believe they've
27:44
made several mistakes along the way.
27:46
So I don't think that it's
27:50
clear cut that they're the
27:51
better option or anything like that.
27:54
I just think that CrossFit
27:56
needs to tighten up the
27:58
ship and not let the
27:59
opportunities of it...
28:02
not make the opportunities
28:03
available for others to tear them down.
28:06
And CrossFit keeps tripping
28:09
over their own feet this
28:10
year with the structure of
28:13
the sports season, with the, I mean,
28:18
Froning said a lot in his
28:19
podcast that he pays at
28:20
forty five hundred dollars
28:21
a year and he doesn't know
28:23
what he gets for that forty
28:24
five hundred dollars.
28:27
other than the name CrossFit,
28:29
and that he has seriously
28:30
contemplated what that actually means.
28:34
And he said he reiterated,
28:36
which he has said in the past,
28:38
depending on who buys this,
28:40
is whether Mayhem is a
28:42
CrossFit affiliate in the future or not.
28:46
So...
28:49
I think from all those perspectives,
28:51
it was a good podcast.
28:53
But if you were looking for
28:54
the drama and the tea from
28:57
the Brian Friend, Savon, Hiller thing,
29:02
it was, as Tommy Marquez would put it,
29:04
a big old nothing burger.
29:07
They didn't really even
29:08
address any of that.
29:10
So...
29:19
and I was really looking forward to it.
29:22
You know,
29:22
I being part of the media and I
29:24
know I'm just a little tiny part,
29:26
but by having media access,
29:28
there's so much that goes
29:30
on behind the scenes that
29:31
nobody knows about.
29:33
And I just keep my mouth
29:34
shut cause I'm just a
29:35
little fish in the big pond
29:37
and I just go about my
29:39
business to the best of my ability.
29:41
Um,
29:43
but so much stuff goes on behind the
29:45
scenes that nobody even knows about.
29:48
And, um,
29:52
I thought I was,
29:54
I was wondering if some of
29:55
it was going to get exposed
29:56
in this podcast, um,
29:59
which none of it did.
30:00
So yeah.
30:05
I think there is division at
30:06
every level in the CrossFit
30:08
space right now.
30:09
And that is not good for the methodology.
30:13
It's not good for the sport.
30:15
But there's divisiveness in
30:17
the affiliates.
30:17
There's divisiveness in the media.
30:19
There's divisiveness in the athletes.
30:23
And I don't mean divide.
30:25
I mean division.
30:26
That's better.
30:27
There's division in all of those entities.
30:32
and I hope that there's
30:33
something that happens to
30:35
pull everybody back
30:36
together again so well
30:43
we're only we're about
30:45
tomorrow's show um my
30:49
daughter and I talked this
30:50
morning I don't know when
30:51
we're leaving tomorrow um
30:54
we're trying to avoid
30:55
chicago rush hour so we're
30:57
either leaving early in the
30:58
morning or we're leaving after lunch um
31:02
If we leave after lunch,
31:03
I'll be doing the show
31:04
right here from the basement.
31:06
If we're leaving early in the morning,
31:07
I'm going to try to do the
31:08
show from the truck in my iPad.
31:14
Or maybe we'll stop somewhere and do it.
31:17
But I'm going to try to do a show tomorrow,
31:19
either on the road or in
31:22
the basement tomorrow.
31:22
So tomorrow you'll be surprised.
31:26
But we'll be back again tomorrow.
31:27
And we're going to do shows
31:29
on Thursday and Friday from
31:30
the road on the way to Montana.
31:32
Maybe we'll be lucky and
31:33
I'll get a moose in the
31:34
background to be in my
31:36
co-star for one of these things.
31:39
Who knows?
31:40
But we're headed out tomorrow.
31:42
Can't wait for that.
31:44
Going to go chop up some
31:45
vegetables for the trip,
31:46
make a few sandwiches to
31:48
have in the cooler.
31:50
And with that, guys,
31:53
Lunchtime's over.
31:54
Time for you knuckleheads to
31:55
get back to work.
31:56
And we'll see you tomorrow
31:57
on Lunch with the Clydesdale.
32:00
Thank you so much, guys.
32:02
See you then.
32:03
Bye.
