0:02
What's going on?
0:03
I'm Mark Phillips.
0:04
He's Jonathan Ortega.
0:06
Is it okay to do that?
0:07
I don't know.
0:08
We'll talk about it.
0:31
From the gym to the screen, yeah,
0:32
we cover it all.
0:33
Midday motivation every time you press
0:35
call.
0:36
Lunch with the Clydesdale.
0:38
Cowboy bring the heat.
0:40
Crossfit, boobies, music on repeat.
0:44
High-fouled hustle, yeah,
0:46
we building that brand.
0:47
Grab a plate, tune in now,
0:49
you part of the fam.
0:53
It's lunch time.
0:56
What is going on, everybody?
0:58
Really need to record that again.
1:00
To lunch with the Clydesdale.
1:03
I can actually give it like a little
1:05
flair if I want to, though,
1:07
when I do it live.
1:09
You can, a hundred percent,
1:10
but I know it bothers your voice.
1:12
So maybe.
1:15
Yeah,
1:15
I'll probably grow tired of it pretty
1:17
quick.
1:20
Well, we're filling up.
1:21
Jason Bourne is here.
1:23
Eric Mackey's driving.
1:26
We've got Craig Pasley.
1:27
We've got Amanda.
1:31
Amanda's still hanging in there.
1:32
Video review going on.
1:34
She's a beast, dude.
1:39
Jay Birch.
1:42
All that stuff.
1:42
What's going on?
1:45
If you didn't catch the open,
1:47
I'm Mark Phillips.
1:48
He's Jonathan Ortega.
1:54
Yeah, you can't pull it off.
1:55
No way can you pull off that stash.
1:59
The reason I say that is apparently it's
2:03
okay to use somebody else's identity
2:09
without their permission.
2:11
Yeah, that's what I was about to add.
2:12
Not even tell them.
2:14
Without their permission to get your boy
2:17
to the games.
2:23
One, we've been through this before,
2:26
right?
2:28
And last year it happened.
2:33
Hiller found out.
2:35
It got exposed.
2:36
And I'm sure,
2:37
I am sure for every one that gets
2:40
caught,
2:42
there are ten that are getting away with
2:44
it.
2:45
If not more than that.
2:47
But the thing that boggles my mind is
2:50
they didn't even tell the person whose
2:52
name they used.
2:58
I'm going to put this out there right
2:59
now.
3:00
If you need me to lie for you,
3:03
for some reason,
3:05
you might want to tell me about it
3:07
first.
3:10
Hey man,
3:10
this dude is fixing to call you in
3:12
a little bit and tell him I've been
3:13
knowing we've been knowing each other for
3:14
twenty years.
3:16
okay cool thanks i appreciate the heads up
3:20
and that you were in texas last tuesday
3:23
not minnesota yes absolutely or conversely
3:32
you could just do it and just hope
3:34
for the best and see what happens can
3:37
you imagine being on vacation getting a
3:40
call hey
3:43
Can you verify your location?
3:45
Yeah.
3:45
Why?
3:46
What?
3:46
Huh?
3:46
What?
3:47
Who is this?
3:48
You were said,
3:49
you were said to be judging in Texas
3:53
last Tuesday at three PM.
3:56
And were you there?
3:58
Well, no, I've,
3:59
I've been up here in Minnesota.
4:02
I'm just making the locations up.
4:04
Yeah, no, I know.
4:05
I know it was a long distance away
4:07
from where she actually was.
4:10
She could have been in Maine and other
4:12
people would have been in San Diego,
4:15
like complete ass in opposite ends of the
4:17
country.
4:18
It really didn't matter.
4:19
They could have been two towns over.
4:20
It really wouldn't have mattered.
4:23
Where I'm at right now,
4:24
I'm in Prairieville.
4:25
Gonzales, where I live,
4:26
is fifteen minutes from here,
4:28
twenty minutes from here.
4:29
And if you'd asked me, hey,
4:30
at noon on Thursday, the fourteenth,
4:34
Were you judging somebody in Gonzales?
4:37
No, I was doing a podcast in Brava.
4:42
Thanks.
4:43
Click.
4:46
OMG.
4:46
They didn't even tell the dude.
4:48
Well, it was a female.
4:49
It was a chick.
4:51
They didn't even tell the dudette.
4:53
Man, this is so not worth it.
4:55
People be peopling.
4:56
Yeah.
4:57
It was a lady.
4:59
And no, they did not tell her.
5:01
There's no advance warning thing.
5:04
what that that's that's the only scenario
5:06
is that they know that she'd been like
5:08
no don't do that i'm not going to
5:10
be there you can't just do that and
5:12
then they just decided to do it anyway
5:19
i don't know man i don't know um
5:25
is that the backup plan
5:32
It'd be like if I called Birch and
5:33
I'd be like, Birch, look,
5:34
I know you got all the judging
5:36
credentials.
5:40
You're the head judge in charge.
5:42
As it turns out,
5:43
I'm going to need you to tell these
5:44
people that you judged me.
5:46
You were my head judge, whatever,
5:49
during semifinals because I'm putting your
5:50
name down.
5:53
I know you live in Texas and I'm
5:54
in Louisiana,
5:55
but I'm going to need you to just
5:56
go ahead and verify that for me.
5:58
The problem is you got to put Jay
6:00
Birch on camera.
6:02
according to the new rules what if i
6:04
have a life-size cardboard cut out of jay
6:07
birch with just the arm going like just
6:12
looks like uh the the thing that kevin
6:16
had on home alone when he was trying
6:18
to yeah he was there yeah yeah so
6:23
that's perfect this dude is kevin and he's
6:28
trying to fool the the house robbers
6:32
Yeah.
6:33
Using cardboard cutouts and fake names.
6:37
You filthy animal.
6:43
Or weekend at Bernie's.
6:44
That's even better.
6:45
Yes, Birch.
6:48
Just got to tie the rope to the
6:49
hand.
6:51
You got to rescue Randy from the games
6:55
and just kind of got him in the
6:56
background just holding a clipboard in one
6:59
hand and got a pencil in the other
7:00
and was like,
7:01
And that's my judge, Randy.
7:03
You just pull it to my pull the
7:05
string and he's like.
7:05
And then you got one that goes.
7:12
Yeah.
7:15
No rep.
7:17
Oh, he's just no rep me.
7:18
He's just getting ready to no rep me
7:19
just in case.
7:22
Oh, that's fantastic.
7:26
Ask Luckett.
7:27
He may have a rescue, Randy.
7:28
I will text Brandon here in a little
7:30
bit.
7:36
picturing the home alone house party yeah
7:39
filthy animals yeah so when I submit for
7:47
media credentials and put down Scott
7:49
Clydesdale and my personal info I won't
7:51
get approved
7:53
Well, the thing is, Ken,
7:55
you might because unless you go with Joe
7:58
and Bob,
7:59
probably not going to get in from them.
8:00
But anybody else in the whole thing,
8:04
you don't have to put my picture down.
8:06
You don't even have to do a video.
8:08
This, you have to go on camera.
8:16
How much dope was smoked when they came
8:19
up with Weekend at Bernie's?
8:22
A lot.
8:22
A whole lot.
8:25
A whole lot.
8:27
They're going to carry his body around and
8:29
pretend like he's alive for the entire
8:32
weekend.
8:34
We're going to get the audience watching
8:35
the movie to buy into it like everybody
8:39
else is going along with it.
8:40
Oh, no, he's fine.
8:42
He's just taking a nap.
8:44
It's good.
8:46
They make him move.
8:48
We'll just tie ropes to his wrists.
8:51
so that he can wave to people.
8:55
Surely.
8:56
When was it?
8:58
Late eighties?
9:00
We'll just put him in a wagon.
9:02
We'll carry him around.
9:04
All the stuff, dude.
9:05
It's going to be comedy gold.
9:08
We should do two of them.
9:11
And can you imagine getting the acting
9:13
job?
9:14
You just have to play dead for ninety
9:17
minutes.
9:19
Get your body contorted in weird
9:21
positions.
9:25
Slump a lot.
9:26
Do a whole lot of that.
9:27
And you have no speaking lines.
9:31
You're going to wear sunglasses most of
9:33
the time.
9:35
It's fine, dude.
9:40
Yeah.
9:43
Chet,
9:43
if anyone else think Tyler's little
9:45
comment on Spin last night sounded like a
9:47
slight or mean,
9:49
I didn't watch Spin last night.
9:51
I was watching it just now or listening
9:54
to it mostly,
9:54
and he said something about you,
9:56
but I don't even know what it was.
10:01
I usually listen to it every week.
10:04
Just didn't have it in me last night.
10:07
to go one more CrossFit video.
10:09
Cause I went where I did family time
10:11
last weekend.
10:11
Right.
10:12
And then all week has been ketchup.
10:15
Yeah.
10:16
So I have been like slamming CrossFit
10:19
content all week.
10:22
And I just,
10:23
I hit a point last night where I'm
10:24
like, just need to go to bed.
10:27
Cause I'll tell you the night before,
10:30
I think it was the night before when
10:34
Jeremy hosted Clinton things on Tuesday,
10:40
I tried to,
10:43
I tried to listen to that show to
10:47
go to bed and I got so pissed
10:50
off.
10:50
I had to wake up and shut it
10:53
off.
10:59
No comment.
11:01
And,
11:03
and I think that was like the downturn
11:06
of like the content I could consume.
11:10
understandable understandable i was
11:15
listening to the majority of that live on
11:18
my way home from work and i got
11:21
in my garage and uh i'm in a
11:25
group chat with garrett and joseph a
11:28
couple other people and i was like i
11:30
love y'all uh i can't listen to this
11:32
anymore i'm going inside yeah i i pretty
11:37
much
11:39
and chill about stuff like that.
11:41
You know, think what you want to think,
11:43
do what you want to do.
11:44
Be you.
11:45
Sure.
11:46
I'm all for it.
11:47
Yep.
11:48
I, I was like,
11:51
this is making me dumber.
11:58
Is it, I can't, was it,
12:02
what's the movie where the guy gives a
12:04
speech and then the moderator says we are
12:07
out all now dumber for your oh that's
12:11
uh was it old school or at no
12:14
point in your rambling incoherent we are
12:18
all dumber now may god ever mercy on
12:20
your souls oh goodness
12:24
I can see the moderator, Billy Madison.
12:27
Billy Madison.
12:31
That's how I felt.
12:32
I felt like the moderator during that
12:35
podcast the other night.
12:43
I get it.
12:44
It was out of the blue and just
12:46
unnecessary, I felt like.
12:48
I'll listen to it, I guess.
12:50
It was pretty early on.
12:52
I went too far into it whenever I
12:54
heard him.
12:54
He said something about...
12:59
I just heard Clydesdale,
13:00
and he had to remember your name was
13:02
Scott.
13:03
Kipping's getting pretty aggressive now.
13:06
A lot of eye-for-eye stuff out there.
13:09
Yuck.
13:11
I talked about the one piece of his
13:13
video yesterday that I wanted to address
13:15
yesterday.
13:17
and that is that everybody just wants to
13:19
blame Dave for everything,
13:21
and I just think it's a lazy take.
13:24
You're not diving into anything.
13:26
It's just Dave is the face,
13:28
so let's all just blast him.
13:33
That's it.
13:35
Yeah.
13:37
Because it's easy.
13:42
It kind of made me feel better as
13:43
a father knowing my daughters didn't turn
13:45
out like that.
13:47
Amen, brother.
13:57
And now Grant's here.
14:02
At the end of the day,
14:03
I watched all of Grant's video.
14:04
I watched it from beginning to end.
14:08
I watched the first couple minutes of it
14:10
or so,
14:10
and then I got distracted by something
14:13
shiny, I'm sure.
14:16
Or work, whatever.
14:17
Like something was going on.
14:23
I saw Mark Moss asked if Luckett could
14:25
make the games.
14:26
I don't mean to be disrespectful because I
14:28
like Brandon a lot.
14:30
But that question doesn't even matter
14:31
anymore.
14:32
Oh no, he is all the way...
14:34
I mean, he still trains like a psycho.
14:36
Right,
14:37
but he has no intentions of going for
14:39
the games.
14:40
No.
14:42
Not at all.
14:44
He is settling into...
14:47
On the CrossFit side, anyway,
14:49
of actually being coach and doing what he
14:51
can to coach his athletes.
14:53
He's getting pretty good at it.
14:54
Dude is wicked smart.
14:57
Wicked smart.
14:58
Wicked smart.
15:00
And, yeah,
15:02
I think he's happy doing what he does.
15:05
Yeah.
15:05
And how many times did he compete with
15:09
a bad back or –
15:11
Like that has got to grind on it
15:13
pretty hard.
15:13
When he flung his elbow out of position
15:16
on that snatch and then finished the
15:19
weekend on an insane amount of ibuprofen.
15:25
That's literally, if you ask him,
15:26
that's what he'll tell you.
15:26
He just took enough ibuprofen where he
15:28
didn't feel it anymore and went back to
15:31
work.
15:34
I love him to death.
15:35
He's an absolute psycho in the best
15:36
possible way.
15:40
Grant's saying,
15:41
I know he mentioned NorCal and reining
15:43
them in last year, though,
15:44
so there still has to be some potential
15:46
control.
15:46
No.
15:48
I think on paper there is a little
15:50
bit of control where the semifinals have
15:52
to submit the workouts to HQ.
15:56
But I think that there is a lack
15:59
of enforcement on that because you've
16:03
handed it all over to them and you're
16:06
not paying them to do it.
16:10
There's only so much you can tell somebody
16:12
about how to do their own event when
16:13
you're asking them to use their event to
16:15
qualify people to your event.
16:18
And what I will say is the NorCal
16:20
guys were open to help.
16:23
Yeah.
16:24
They have publicly stated they want to be
16:27
a good semifinal qualifying point.
16:31
And...
16:32
they have actually opened themselves up
16:35
for the input.
16:37
And that was their choice,
16:39
not a mandate from CrossFit.
16:42
And that was a year ago.
16:43
I don't remember the timeline of them
16:47
being open to it and Dave saying,
16:49
we're going to rein them in.
16:51
don't know how that all worked out or
16:54
because dave is very familiar with both of
16:56
them they've been around a very long time
16:57
they're all both in the same norcal
17:00
location yep so ben and blair or by
17:06
all accounts are really good dudes and are
17:09
doing their absolute best to provide the
17:11
best possible experience event
17:18
I guess that's probably the best word for
17:19
it,
17:19
that they possibly can while still
17:21
remaining true to what they do.
17:25
Mark Phillips,
17:25
I'm impressed with their acceptance to
17:27
listen to critical feedback.
17:29
Yeah, I mean, none of us are perfect,
17:33
right?
17:33
But when we make mistakes,
17:34
are you willing to ask for help?
17:36
Are you willing to get better?
17:39
That is the difference between Ben and
17:41
Blair and Joe and Bob, in my opinion.
17:46
I don't want to throw that on you,
17:48
Corey,
17:49
because you're a Masters athlete who's
17:51
competing, but that is my opinion.
17:57
Ben and Blair, Bob and Joe,
17:58
Ben and Jerry.
18:03
One of those I dearly love.
18:07
Guess which one?
18:10
Laverne and Shirley.
18:11
Let's go ahead while we're just doing
18:13
that.
18:13
Okay.
18:17
they catch too much flack.
18:18
They're all in and open to conversations
18:22
about getting better.
18:24
I agree.
18:25
As long as you're willing to have a
18:26
conversation and learn,
18:31
I know at least one person who isn't
18:32
open to being wrong.
18:33
Corey knows who.
18:39
I heard Tristan is not open to being
18:40
wrong.
18:43
I may actually get to see Tristan next
18:44
weekend.
18:45
I forgot all about it.
18:47
We are going to a, God help me,
18:50
a Pitbull concert in Houston next weekend.
18:54
And it's on his side of town.
18:58
Friday night.
18:59
Mr. Worldwide.
19:02
My son and his girlfriend.
19:05
Yeah.
19:07
My son and his girlfriend wanted to go,
19:10
and Jennifer's like,
19:11
I'm not letting him go all the way
19:12
over there by themselves.
19:14
And I was like,
19:15
so why do I have to go?
19:16
Can you explain that part of it?
19:19
And it's not because I don't want to
19:20
see Pitbull.
19:22
It's because it's a concert that's not
19:25
going to start until like nine o'clock at
19:27
night.
19:29
That's my whole problem.
19:30
Mr. Three Oh Five.
19:32
Three Oh Mr. Worldwide.
19:33
Fireball.
19:35
Mm-hmm.
19:37
i i am a closet pitbull fan oh
19:42
dude i have a i have a i
19:45
based a uh a playlist for the gym
19:50
off of like seven different pitbull songs
19:52
and just started adding stuff after that
19:54
because like most of this stuff is real
19:56
high energy it's great to work out to
20:00
the sanitized versions are pretty
20:03
user-friendly as far as that kind of stuff
20:05
is concerned.
20:05
So boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom,
20:07
boom.
20:07
Let's go.
20:09
My wife's theme song is Fireball.
20:12
She's a redhead.
20:14
We've been together thirty-four years.
20:16
Fireball.
20:18
All day, every day.
20:19
Fireball.
20:20
I can't see,
20:22
like if you're shopping at a convenience
20:23
store and they're selling little bitty
20:25
bottles of liquor and whatnot and they got
20:27
Fireball up there.
20:28
I can't see that and not hear it
20:30
in my head.
20:31
Fireball.
20:33
I mean,
20:33
can you imagine if we were in college
20:36
when that song came out?
20:38
And as much as people drank Fireball,
20:40
it would have been the biggest thing.
20:44
Let me get some cinnamon-flavored whiskey.
20:50
That and Goldschlager, man,
20:52
if you wanted to go bougie.
20:55
Fireball, Goldschlager, Aftershock.
20:59
I can't remember what the blue one was.
21:05
terrible absolutely terrible yeah they're
21:07
all versions of cinnamon schnapps jay
21:09
birch just they charge you more because
21:12
they put gold flake in it or whatever
21:18
uh trish buchi i was in college when
21:21
that song came out yeah i was well
21:23
past it oh don't even say yeah i
21:29
never understood rumple mints thank you
21:31
larry young
21:34
Jaeger is my jam.
21:36
I have not drank in two and a
21:38
half years.
21:39
I have two freezing shots in my freezer
21:43
of Jaeger just for the day that I
21:45
just want to break it open.
21:47
I don't understand.
21:49
Okay, back it up a little bit.
21:52
I don't like licorice.
21:54
To begin with,
21:55
at no point have I ever,
21:58
this is how you can tell Jägermeister,
22:00
I don't give a damn,
22:00
what's on a label is made by German
22:02
people because they don't like nice
22:03
things.
22:04
They don't like fun things.
22:05
They don't like things that taste good.
22:07
So they're like, let's make a liquor,
22:09
a liqueur,
22:10
and let's make it taste like the worst
22:12
candy ever invented by man.
22:15
Make it happen.
22:17
My last name is Schweitzer.
22:22
Let me just start with that.
22:23
Makes perfect sense.
22:25
And I like black licorice at thirty three
22:29
degrees in a liquid form.
22:34
Now,
22:34
if I'm just eating it out of a
22:35
room temperature bag.
22:37
No, thank you.
22:38
And it's solid and it's shaped like a
22:41
like a like a straw.
22:44
But at thirty three to thirty three
22:46
degrees and liquid all day, every day.
22:51
never never in my life i say never
22:54
i my whole problem is that when i
22:56
was eighteen nineteen um i had enough of
23:03
it one night that it all came right
23:05
back up and i've never had it since
23:06
then yeah that was me and tequila
23:09
until I discovered there was better
23:12
tequilas than Jose Cortez.
23:18
Not even Jose Cuervo.
23:19
Yeah,
23:20
I got me a Ford the Cortez in
23:22
college.
23:23
dude so mother's day um we left from
23:26
church and we were going uh to go
23:28
get jennifer some mexican food we stopped
23:29
at a red light and there was a
23:30
lady next in the car next to us
23:32
and she looked at jennifer and she waved
23:34
at her and she held up a bag
23:36
with like happy mother's day written on it
23:38
and it said peach tea
23:40
written on it and she like wanted to
23:41
give it to jennifer had a flower on
23:43
it and whatnot so okay cool i guess
23:45
that's what we're doing so she gets it
23:47
from her she pulls in the card you
23:48
know waves it late tells her thank you
23:50
all that good stuff she opens it up
23:52
there's a little card inside says you know
23:54
hey you know your mother blah blah
23:55
whatever happy stuff and a bottle of uh
23:59
taco peach vodka about this big and i
24:04
went oh
24:07
That's what they meant.
24:08
Got it.
24:09
There you go.
24:10
Got it.
24:12
Tristan played quarters with Jagermeister
24:14
one time.
24:15
Didn't end his way.
24:17
It would not.
24:18
It's not made for games.
24:21
It's a serious drink for serious people.
24:23
Yeah.
24:24
Birch has got a point.
24:25
German beer, way better than liquor.
24:28
A hundred percent.
24:29
I will drink me some German beer.
24:31
I'm not mad at that.
24:33
The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
24:34
This biggity boy is a diggity dog.
24:37
The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
24:38
This biggity boy is a diggity dog.
24:41
It's going to be an interesting concert.
24:43
I'm going to tell you that right now,
24:45
just because I'm old.
24:48
But there should be, in theory,
24:50
a whole bunch of old people in there
24:52
my age and slightly younger.
24:55
So they're all going to be like, hey.
24:58
Let's get this thing going.
25:01
We got stuff to do tomorrow.
25:05
Oh, I was young and in the army,
25:07
you know, just happens.
25:09
That's a fact.
25:15
Jeremy says, hey, Scott,
25:16
Packers versus Bears Christmas Day.
25:18
Has that been announced?
25:20
Because I haven't got anything on my phone
25:22
yet.
25:22
I know the Saints are playing overseas
25:26
against somebody on whatever day.
25:28
I heard that this morning.
25:30
The Saints are playing someone on some day
25:32
overseas.
25:33
Yep.
25:34
As far as I got.
25:35
That is crackerjack journalism right
25:39
there.
25:39
It's the kind of reporting you get.
25:43
Sports reporting you get over here.
25:46
There was a murder somewhere, someday,
25:48
by some guy.
25:49
Somebody, one hundred percent, got killed.
25:52
They were killed by a person.
25:53
They had a face.
25:55
It was terrible.
25:57
Yeah,
25:58
I know the Bears play the Lions on
26:00
Thanksgiving,
26:00
which I always love when the Bears play
26:02
on Thanksgiving.
26:03
Oh, here you go.
26:04
Apparently it's the Steelers in France,
26:05
according to half of the chat.
26:07
Yeah, I know the Steelers are in France.
26:09
And yeah, they're playing the Saints.
26:11
I should have known that.
26:12
There you go.
26:17
Seema, Scott,
26:19
does any part of you think Joe and
26:21
Bob treat you differently because you were
26:23
overweight?
26:24
People treat me way differently when I was
26:26
eighty pounds overweight.
26:32
I don't think so.
26:34
I don't think it's about that.
26:38
I truly think it's about money.
26:43
because you're not giving them any so joe
26:46
and bob hire this media company to come
26:49
in and do packages yeah for and you
26:53
bought your package from them hercules
26:55
media yep and they come in and they
26:59
they either pay joe and bob to be
27:02
there or joe and bob get some commission
27:06
on the packages sold
27:09
And so they are threatened by anybody from
27:12
a third party coming in that may steal
27:17
some of those packages away.
27:20
That's just silly.
27:21
That's just silly.
27:25
I can't imagine you running around trying
27:27
to take – you know what I'm saying?
27:30
Taking money out of – because I have
27:35
had several conversations with the
27:36
Hercules Media people and they are good
27:37
people and I cannot imagine –
27:40
them being hurt you know what i'm saying
27:42
like coming down the line and going oh
27:44
man what's that guy doing here is he
27:46
on he's not on my media team no
27:48
he's here just to cover what's going on
27:49
because he's outside media he's actually
27:53
going to tell a story not just put
27:55
pictures and video together because and
27:59
look they take great pictures i've never
28:01
been i've never gotten stuff from them and
28:03
i was like this sucks
28:05
They made me two different or three
28:07
different reels,
28:08
one from Monster Games last year and one
28:10
from both times I went to Legends.
28:12
They were all outstanding.
28:13
But at no point have I ever looked
28:16
at it and went, you know,
28:19
this is really telling a story here.
28:22
Because it's not what they do.
28:24
It's what you do.
28:25
Right.
28:28
Right.
28:29
Right.
28:31
So I think that's why.
28:33
And I think it's short-sighted.
28:34
I don't think it's looking at long-term
28:36
success.
28:37
It's looking at the immediate cash jackpot
28:41
that it is for them.
28:43
And I don't even know what they get
28:44
paid, but it's crazy.
28:48
I can tell you immediate packages for
28:49
athletes are not cheap.
28:52
Oh, I know.
28:53
You can pretty much double your entry fee
28:55
depending on what you want.
28:59
And I don't think you get a whole
29:00
lot for that, to be honest.
29:03
So I got...
29:06
will say this the who and i don't
29:09
remember who was heading it up at magic
29:10
city but i got a ton of pictures
29:15
from magic city and i mean a ton
29:19
and they uh the video that they put
29:22
together for me was way better than i
29:24
expected it was like a minute and fifteen
29:26
seconds long which is pretty long for one
29:28
of those
29:31
But I have so many pictures that I'm
29:33
not going to post them all because it's
29:36
just too much.
29:36
I don't say too much,
29:38
but you know what I mean?
29:39
There's too many to try to post all
29:40
of them.
29:41
I selected a whole bunch of ones.
29:42
That's why I put up today that I
29:43
thought were pretty cool and put them up.
29:45
But if I could go back and do
29:47
that same thing I did probably five more
29:49
times.
29:51
But I will say this, Seema.
29:52
I do think being overweight did affect
29:57
getting media credentials initially.
30:00
Until I proved myself.
30:03
Yeah, they didn't take you seriously.
30:04
Right.
30:05
Which is ridiculous.
30:07
So I do think like I had to
30:09
prove myself and the work I put out
30:14
before I was accepted into that media
30:17
world.
30:25
Have you seen any gen pop pics for
30:27
people that didn't buy a package yet?
30:29
I did not join.
30:30
Let me, so this dude's Joey Perez.
30:33
He and I,
30:33
we hung out a lot over the weekend
30:37
at magic city and we should probably not
30:41
ever be allowed together in during an
30:43
athlete briefing ever again,
30:46
because I don't know that we paid too
30:47
much attention to what was going on
30:49
because all we did was.
30:50
laugh the entire time at one point uh
30:56
and i don't remember it wasn't micah it
30:58
was whoever was doing the the first in
31:00
the first round we had an athlete briefing
31:03
in the where the track area was and
31:08
we had an athlete briefing on the other
31:09
side and bill harris and then at the
31:12
The first one, old boy said,
31:15
are you guys ready to make history?
31:17
And I leaned in and I told Joey,
31:18
I said,
31:19
I don't think I was coming here to
31:21
make history.
31:23
This is like a lot of pressure.
31:26
This is way more pressure.
31:27
This is almost as bad as telling a
31:28
seven-year-old that I'm the only one who
31:31
can prevent forest fires.
31:33
Like, I don't,
31:34
this is not cool at all.
31:35
And Joey kind of looked over at me
31:36
and he started laughing.
31:37
He's like, son of a bitch.
31:40
That's a lot.
31:47
Corey,
31:47
are you saying you received too many
31:49
photos from MSG?
31:50
At that price,
31:51
he should have received a buttload.
31:53
No.
31:55
It's more than I expected,
31:58
is what I'm saying.
32:00
Generally speaking, you get a lot.
32:02
You get several,
32:03
but you don't get as many as I
32:04
got from Magic City.
32:05
No, it wasn't too many.
32:07
I don't need that much smoke, says Joey.
32:10
Also, Joey is fit, with a capital I.
32:14
Sounds like an Army recruiter speech.
32:19
he did for real he actually said are
32:22
y'all are y'all ready to make history and
32:26
when the five or six of us i
32:27
will say when i like whoa let's settle
32:31
down a little bit uh sema in response
32:35
to my thing uh that sucks makes me
32:38
sad just know sema we're in the lab
32:41
we're working on it and hoping this
32:44
thing's uh uh
32:46
The thing of the past in the near
32:48
future.
32:49
Does that make sense?
32:51
Yeah.
32:52
We're in the lab.
32:52
We're doing our thing.
32:54
Work is being put in.
32:57
But my knees are hurting, dude.
33:00
My knees are hurting this week.
33:02
I'd imagine so.
33:03
Oh, dude.
33:04
Hurting.
33:05
But we'll get through it.
33:07
Got my Theragun on overtime.
33:13
I love it.
33:15
Yeah.
33:16
Um, so French known as this weekend.
33:19
Yes.
33:19
Show you guys real quick that everybody
33:22
asks like, where is it?
33:23
Can you get it on YouTube?
33:24
Blah, blah, blah.
33:26
Actually games website.
33:29
Day one, day one, Coliseum day one,
33:34
rogue gymnasium.
33:36
Now I don't know what the differences are.
33:39
Well, one of them is the Coliseum option.
33:41
You got the red pill and you got
33:42
the blue pill.
33:44
I mean, obviously, Scott,
33:45
when I was a Coliseum,
33:46
when I was a gymnasium, I mean,
33:47
come on.
33:48
There you go.
33:50
So it is,
33:52
but it is on the game's website.
33:55
Cool.
33:56
I was not expecting that.
33:57
Day one, day two, day three.
34:06
How about that?
34:07
How about that?
34:08
What time does it start?
34:11
Remember, they're six hours ahead of us.
34:14
seven for you um so yeah they're starting
34:23
birch is on one today probably before i
34:25
wake up one is for basketball one is
34:30
for gladiators
34:38
It's also on YouTube.
34:40
Yeah, I know,
34:41
because these are the YouTube links is
34:43
what CrossFit's using.
34:44
But if you had any questions,
34:47
games.crossfit.com, boom,
34:49
it's right there.
34:55
And Pedro is commentating it.
34:58
I think they're doing an English and a
34:59
French version.
35:01
I hope Pedro's doing the French version.
35:04
Well,
35:05
I'm not sure we can call what he
35:06
says the English, so let's say French.
35:10
I hope he's doing the French version with
35:13
his Irish accent.
35:14
I think that would be fantastic.
35:18
So we've talked about the lineup.
35:23
Mark's asking Reebok question mark.
35:27
They sponsor the Coliseum.
35:29
I don't think it's sponsoring the event,
35:31
but Reebok is way bigger in Europe and
35:34
they have way more European athletes
35:37
signed still in the CrossFit space than
35:40
they do in the States.
35:46
It says one forty a.m.
35:48
for day one for me.
35:49
I'm in South Carolina.
35:51
So that would be one forty a.m.
35:53
for me.
35:54
It would be twelve forty a.m.
35:57
for you.
35:57
Yeah,
35:58
I'm sure I'll get up at midnight and
36:00
start watching that.
36:04
Mark Moss with an emoji with a tear.
36:08
Yeah, Elisa Fuliano is sponsored by them.
36:10
I think Mathilde Garness is.
36:13
Elisa Fuliano has been with Reebok
36:15
forever.
36:17
Yeah,
36:17
so they it's more of a European thing
36:20
right now.
36:22
knows maybe they come back someday so we
36:26
talked about how stacked the lineups are
36:28
and i warned you this morning to have
36:30
your predictions ready i'm good we went
36:32
off the cuff the other day but i
36:34
was just being wild and reckless do you
36:38
have your do you have your podium picks
36:40
for the weekend i absolutely do let's go
36:44
man going to man
36:46
uh i'm taking the obvious jason hopper to
36:50
take it to to win it all going
36:52
to champ i realize that's probably a safe
36:54
pick but there's a reason he suddenly
36:57
decided to go to france and compete over
36:59
there i i i want to present believe
37:02
that um i got harry lightfoot standing on
37:05
the second part uh podium and i got
37:08
uh calum clements in third
37:12
And you apparently copied off my paper.
37:14
I have the exact same top three.
37:17
And I have Moritz Fiebig just on the
37:20
outside looking in.
37:20
Same.
37:21
Same.
37:24
With people to watch, Colin Bossard,
37:26
Tom Kingdon, and Enrico Zanoni.
37:30
Yep.
37:32
What do you got on the women's side?
37:34
I got Lucy McGonigal.
37:38
Okay.
37:38
Up there at the top.
37:40
Miriam Von Rohr in second.
37:41
Excuse me.
37:42
Amy Kringle in second and Miriam Von Rohr
37:45
in third.
37:46
So I have Kringle winning.
37:48
Okay.
37:49
I have Claudia Gluck in second.
37:51
Okay.
37:53
She really impressed me at Mayhem.
37:55
She was fit, dude.
37:57
And Miriam Von Rohr in third.
38:00
with Reese Littlewood,
38:02
the one to watch outside looking in.
38:04
Okay.
38:06
I am super curious to see what Elisa
38:08
Fuligano is going to do because I haven't
38:13
seen her in live competition other than
38:16
the couple of things that she's done in
38:17
the past couple of years since she hasn't
38:19
been actively competing in
38:22
CrossFit-sanctioned events.
38:24
So I would really like to see that.
38:26
Well, she's been competing in them.
38:28
She just hasn't been eligible to move on
38:30
from them.
38:30
Right.
38:31
That's more or less the point.
38:36
I think she's going to do well.
38:38
The women's side is so jacked because you
38:41
have Matilda Garnett,
38:42
you have Elisa Fuliano,
38:43
you have Lucy McGonigal that aren't in my
38:45
top three.
38:46
No.
38:48
And there's Menon Inglis and...
38:52
I don't think she has it in her
38:53
anymore.
38:53
I can't say her name without,
38:56
but Andra Moistus.
38:59
Yeah.
39:00
She was great at Waterpalooza.
39:02
A hundred percent.
39:04
A hundred percent.
39:06
So yeah, we got lots going on.
39:09
We'll be watching it tomorrow.
39:11
There'll be a lot of stuff that's already
39:13
happened by the time we get on the
39:14
air.
39:15
So a lot of stuff that happens by
39:17
the time my alarm clock goes off at
39:18
four thirty in the morning.
39:22
Seema asked a great question.
39:25
Do we think Jason will get booed when
39:27
he wins by Europeans the way Americans
39:29
were at Copa Sur?
39:32
I don't.
39:33
And I'm really just basing this off of
39:37
the Europeans in our chat.
39:39
And they're just excited that they get to
39:41
go see him live.
39:43
I don't think it's the same vibe.
39:47
I really, really don't.
39:49
Because everybody I've talked to from the
39:51
chat or that I chat with on Instagram
39:56
has said they're just super stoked to be
39:59
able to go see him in person.
40:03
And rightfully so.
40:05
It's just different.
40:09
And rightfully so.
40:10
Why wouldn't they?
40:10
Right.
40:12
Right.
40:14
I mean, when this all started,
40:16
I was a fan boy.
40:17
I wanted to see all the,
40:19
all the people, you know?
40:22
So yeah, I get it.
40:31
You get,
40:32
you get jaded after you've been to a
40:34
lot of events though.
40:35
Right?
40:35
Like you forget what it was like to
40:39
just want to see that stuff.
40:44
Once you start meeting some of these
40:46
people and you realize that they are in
40:47
fact just people.
40:50
You know what I mean?
40:52
Just way fitter than you.
40:53
Just way fitter than you.
40:55
Sometimes it's silly.
40:58
When Pancheck was at Legends the first
41:01
year that I went,
41:02
we stayed to watch him.
41:06
It was just ridiculous.
41:09
The dude that was in second place on
41:12
the very last event was in second place
41:13
running right next to him, rep for rep,
41:15
until he wasn't.
41:18
Like that dude could have physically ran
41:20
into a wall and he wouldn't have slowed
41:21
down any more than he did once.
41:23
And Scott just kept going.
41:24
It was absolutely insane.
41:26
But I went and talked to him the
41:28
first night we were there, um,
41:30
while he was at the pool and like,
41:32
he's just a dude, you know,
41:36
he just happens to be incredibly fit and
41:39
stupid strong.
41:43
so true um what i will say is
41:46
that french pretty much kicks off week
41:49
after week after week of action the rest
41:51
of the season yeah there's gonna be a
41:53
lot happening
41:54
So if you cannot see it,
41:55
I'm going to blow it up here.
41:57
This is Holly's data wad, her chart.
42:01
This is an old one,
42:02
but it has all the dates.
42:04
French learn on this weekend.
42:06
Next weekend,
42:06
we have Torian and Rebel Renegade.
42:09
The week after that,
42:10
we have Syndicate Crown, Mad Fitness,
42:12
and NorCal.
42:14
And then we have Team Online Send Me
42:16
Finals,
42:17
and then Elite Individuals the week after
42:21
that.
42:24
So there it is.
42:28
Syndicate and NorCal being the same
42:29
weekend is going to be a lot.
42:32
Yeah.
42:35
Like a lot.
42:37
Why is it so bad that Anika went
42:38
down to Brazil?
42:39
It's the nature of the game right now.
42:42
I didn't say it was bad.
42:44
No, somebody.
42:44
It's just booed her.
42:47
It wasn't our opinion.
42:49
No, Helson was saying that.
42:53
She went down there because she wasn't
42:53
going to be able to qualify otherwise.
42:55
She went down there because that's the
42:57
best place she could go to try and
42:58
qualify.
43:01
That is the nature of the beast right
43:02
now.
43:03
Same reason why Jason's going to France
43:07
this weekend or in France right now.
43:09
Because he can.
43:12
Jay Burch says,
43:12
love you guys and I'm headed over to
43:14
the CrossFit podcast for JB and Hobart.
43:17
You don't have to tell us you're leaving.
43:18
It isn't like the dining room table where
43:21
you have to be excused.
43:23
No, it's not an airport.
43:24
You don't need to announce your departure.
43:26
No, we're good.
43:29
We know people come and go.
43:31
Not mad at it.
43:33
Yeah.
43:36
I like the CrossFit podcast.
43:39
I like we're listening to on a higher
43:41
speed.
43:45
so I jump in like five minutes late
43:47
hit it at one point two five catch
43:49
up about ten minutes I would have to
43:52
be like focused in I can't listen to
43:56
it that fast it just it blows by
43:58
me the last piece of news I just
44:01
want to talk about is and I was
44:02
trying to find it oh Jody Jody would
44:09
only ever leave me for a customer for
44:11
a cabinet yeah yep
44:16
She's got to sell a cabinet.
44:17
She's gone.
44:18
You know what?
44:20
Thick and thin.
44:20
Okay.
44:20
Yeah.
44:22
It's perfectly fine.
44:24
Um, the FJ,
44:28
their director of education announced on
44:30
Instagram yesterday that he was stepping
44:32
down.
44:35
I, um,
44:38
I wonder what's going to happen because
44:40
they were backed by the PFAA.
44:46
I knew there was a couple letters of
44:47
something in there.
44:49
And that seems to have gone away
44:51
completely.
44:52
I have not heard anything about it in
44:53
quite some time.
44:55
You mentioning it just now made me think,
44:58
oh yeah, that was a thing.
45:00
Yeah.
45:00
So I'm not sure... I'm not sure...
45:06
how much longer the afj can sustain itself
45:10
i like the concept i like that getting
45:13
judges organized but i don't think they're
45:15
going to be able to do it themselves
45:17
i think it has to like link up
45:19
with a bigger entity to have some
45:22
oversight because they keep they just keep
45:26
shooting themselves in the foot
45:28
And if you read his reasons for stepping
45:31
down,
45:33
while he said he was still being
45:34
supportive of them,
45:35
it was clear that they wanted him doing
45:39
things that weren't necessarily what he
45:41
believed in.
45:43
Oh.
45:45
I didn't read that deep into it.
45:47
I just saw that.
45:48
Whether it was the schedule,
45:49
whether it was how to teach, whatever,
45:56
was obvious there was a disagreement in
45:57
the way things were going okay and that's
46:01
the if that's the case then good for
46:02
him like stick to your principles i seem
46:08
i like to imagine you guys are the
46:10
at the desks across from me and this
46:11
is our water cooler talk hey i work
46:15
from home this is my water cooler talk
46:17
every single day anytime somebody says i
46:18
like to imagine the first thing i think
46:20
i would like to imagine jesus in a
46:22
tuxedo t-shirt
46:25
Andrew Sten's calling me out saying I'm
46:26
assuming a lot there.
46:28
I may be.
46:29
I just, as I was reading it,
46:32
it just,
46:33
it came off as he wanted to choose
46:39
his own path for supporting the community
46:42
is what he said.
46:42
Right.
46:45
And maybe I did read too much into
46:47
it, but I don't know.
46:56
It seemed weird to,
46:57
to do a long Instagram post saying goodbye
47:01
though.
47:01
I, I don't know, just weird,
47:03
but maybe Andrew knows more than I do.
47:06
So that is fair.
47:07
That is fair, Andrew,
47:08
that I am definitely assuming with that
47:11
post.
47:12
Yeah.
47:12
I would imagine you were right to call
47:15
me out.
47:17
I w I was complaining that my ice
47:19
cubes are too cold.
47:20
Damn it again.
47:25
So, yes, thank you for calling me out.
47:31
But with that,
47:34
we got off to a wild start today.
47:36
If you missed the beginning of the show
47:38
and you want to know more about Weekend
47:39
at Bernie's and how that can help you
47:43
get through your day, go do that.
47:46

47:48
right now.
47:49
I know the CrossFit podcast is live right
47:51
now.
47:52
Go check them out.
47:54
With that,
47:55
hope everybody has a great rest of your
47:56
day,
47:57
and we'll see you next time on Lunch
47:59
with the Clydesdales.
