  What's going on, everybody?
• 0:30
  Welcome to the Clydesdale
• 0:31
  Media Roundtable.
• 0:33
  It's Tuesday afternoon, lunch hour.
• 0:35
  What's going on, man?
• 0:38
  You know, it's boys day.
• 0:39
  Best day of the week.
• 0:42
  Yeah,
• 0:42
  we get to talk about fun stuff
• 0:43
  without Amy wanting to shut us off.
• 0:51
  We got the kid crowd in the
• 0:54
  background there at the Odie house.
• 0:57
  So he's artistically hitting
• 1:00
  the mute button.
• 1:03
  That's right.
• 1:03
  I'll be in and out.
• 1:06
  Craig Pastley says,
• 1:07
  Jamie's t-shirt is really cool.
• 1:09
  Yeah.
• 1:10
  That's her fundraising shirt
• 1:11
  to get to the games.
• 1:13
  It's on her Instagram.
• 1:14
  Go to her story.
• 1:16
  DM her if you're interested.
• 1:18
  There's a
• 1:20
  I think both are available in crops.
• 1:23
  There's a tank.
• 1:23
  There's a tee.
• 1:25
  And it looks like a games
• 1:27
  jersey made by none other
• 1:30
  than our very own Thick Boy.
• 1:33
  Does she have an A-frame?
• 1:35
  No A-frames this year, man.
• 1:37
  Oh, come on.
• 1:39
  Corey's not going to buy one now.
• 1:44
  I think there are crops.
• 1:46
  Don't quote me on that.
• 1:48
  I am not involved in this.
• 1:49
  I just am a friend.
• 1:51
  And I know that she put it
• 1:53
  up there this week.
• 1:54
  So go check them out there.
• 1:58
  Her details are much better than mine.
• 2:03
  So with that, what have you been up to,
• 2:08
  man?
• 2:09
  I haven't seen you in a while.
• 2:12
  You know,
• 2:12
  living the dream of kids not
• 2:14
  being in school and dealing
• 2:17
  with those fun things that
• 2:19
  you're working from home on some days.
• 2:22
  Yeah.
• 2:24
  So are you the house that
• 2:27
  has all the kids over to
• 2:29
  entertain your kids or do
• 2:30
  you try to ship your kids off?
• 2:34
  A little bit of both.
• 2:35
  They all seem to just rotate
• 2:37
  throughout the day on people's houses.
• 2:39
  So they'll be here and then
• 2:40
  they'll all go somewhere else.
• 2:41
  It's just catching that
• 2:42
  pocket right is the issue.
• 2:47
  So when can we order the Charlie crop top?
• 2:51
  Charlie doesn't have a crop top yet.
• 2:53
  We're trying to get
• 2:53
  Clydesdale media shirts
• 2:56
  that may have a crop top available.
• 2:59
  But man,
• 3:00
  it is so busy for everybody right
• 3:01
  now trying to get
• 3:02
  everything through testing,
• 3:04
  making sure that you can
• 3:06
  see the logos on the shirts,
• 3:08
  all of that kind of stuff.
• 3:11
  But we do have an idea of
• 3:14
  it's going to look like a
• 3:15
  little bit of the
• 3:16
  tie-dye-ish bleached out
• 3:18
  kind of thing with the logo on it.
• 3:21
  And hopefully I'll have some
• 3:22
  at the games to sell as I'm there.
• 3:27
  So we're looking for.
• 3:28
  But working with Mark on
• 3:29
  that and Thick Boy to make
• 3:32
  sure we have a good quality
• 3:33
  product out there for everybody.
• 3:36
  That's all he does is do quality products.
• 3:38
  Yeah.
• 3:42
  I love his stuff, man.
• 3:45
  And I love from like a
• 3:46
  business perspective that
• 3:48
  some of the stuff you can
• 3:49
  only get if you see him live.
• 3:54
  Yeah.
• 3:55
  So you don't have to worry
• 3:56
  about like 87 people
• 3:57
  wearing the same shirt at the gym.
• 4:02
  And if you lose it or leave
• 4:03
  it at the gym and then somebody has it on,
• 4:05
  you know.
• 4:06
  You know.
• 4:08
  if it's a rogue shirt you're
• 4:09
  like yeah I guess they
• 4:11
  could have bought that too
• 4:14
  yeah yeah uh corey says
• 4:17
  I'll make a plain white cut
• 4:19
  off tee and write od on the
• 4:20
  back with a sharpie done
• 4:23
  let's do it yeah that was
• 4:27
  the uh hopper shirt the
• 4:28
  first year at the uh
• 4:29
  semifinals yeah you
• 4:31
  remember that all the uh friends
• 4:35
  I think they put his
• 4:36
  football number on the
• 4:37
  shirt and wrote his name on
• 4:38
  the back and on a plain white tee.
• 4:43
  And that's dedication.
• 4:45
  Nah, he's big time.
• 4:48
  You watching anything good
• 4:51
  on TV these days?
• 4:54
  Presumed innocent.
• 4:56
  Really?
• 4:57
  Is it that good?
• 4:58
  Yes.
• 5:01
  I just assumed it was like
• 5:03
  the Harrison Ford movie back in the day.
• 5:06
  It doesn't matter.
• 5:08
  It's not.
• 5:09
  It's fantastic.
• 5:12
  The problem is it's like old
• 5:14
  school where it only comes
• 5:15
  out one time a week.
• 5:18
  A lot of cliffhangers on the end.
• 5:22
  Apple and Mac still do that
• 5:24
  where you have to wait every week.
• 5:27
  Now I'm watching the bear
• 5:30
  and FX put that out all at once.
• 5:34
  So I have one episode to go on the bear.
• 5:38
  I'm 50-50 on the bear.
• 5:40
  There's some good ones.
• 5:41
  There's some bad ones.
• 5:43
  How far are you?
• 5:44
  I'm done.
• 5:46
  You're done?
• 5:47
  Yeah.
• 5:50
  I don't want to say until I
• 5:51
  watch the last episode,
• 5:52
  but I think season three
• 5:53
  was a little bit of a letdown for me.
• 5:57
  Season two was really, really good.
• 6:01
  Yeah.
• 6:02
  And season three is very
• 6:03
  artistic and done with like some panache,
• 6:07
  but like I don't think the
• 6:09
  storyline moved very much
• 6:11
  in the first nine episodes.
• 6:14
  I got one to go.
• 6:15
  I got to get a lot of shit
• 6:17
  done in one episode for it to move.
• 6:21
  I won't say anything.
• 6:23
  Yeah.
• 6:24
  Yeah.
• 6:26
  I'm almost afraid to watch it.
• 6:27
  It's one of those like then when it's done,
• 6:30
  it's done and
• 6:33
  And even episode two,
• 6:35
  in advance of storyline,
• 6:36
  season two ended with a lot
• 6:40
  of good things and one really bad thing.
• 6:43
  And now we're dwelling on
• 6:44
  that one bad thing for nine episodes.
• 6:48
  And I'm just assuming
• 6:49
  another bad thing's going to happen.
• 6:52
  Guess you're going to have to find out.
• 6:56
  Have you checked out Receiver yet?
• 6:59
  I've seen five episodes.
• 7:02
  Five episodes?
• 7:04
  Wow, I haven't even tried it yet.
• 7:07
  I've heard it's great.
• 7:09
  Is it as good as quarterback?
• 7:11
  Yes.
• 7:12
  Okay.
• 7:15
  Yeah,
• 7:16
  I'm just all into the Giants
• 7:18
  offseason hard knocks.
• 7:24
  Show that that is the S show, if you will.
• 7:28
  Yeah, the full-on shit show?
• 7:30
  Right.
• 7:31
  That is the New York Giants?
• 7:32
  Yes.
• 7:34
  yeah that's uh yeah there's
• 7:37
  some stuff that I can't
• 7:38
  believe that they're like
• 7:39
  yeah you can put that out I
• 7:42
  i I am I'm a firm believer
• 7:45
  that this is the only time
• 7:46
  it'll ever happen they're
• 7:49
  going to get this season in
• 7:51
  and no team will ever agree
• 7:52
  to do this again no I mean
• 7:56
  it's like did you forget
• 7:57
  the camera was there or we
• 7:58
  just but it is it is so
• 8:04
  and all I want to do is watch more.
• 8:08
  It's the train wreck I can't
• 8:10
  look away from.
• 8:12
  Can they win a game?
• 8:14
  I don't know that they'll win a game.
• 8:17
  I mean,
• 8:17
  they have a lot of confidence in
• 8:19
  Daniel Jones,
• 8:20
  and I don't know where
• 8:21
  that's coming from.
• 8:25
  It's more of hope.
• 8:26
  When you pay a lot for something,
• 8:29
  you just hope it's good.
• 8:30
  When they made the statement,
• 8:32
  I don't want my $40 million
• 8:33
  quarterback handing off to
• 8:35
  a $12 million running back.
• 8:38
  Yeah.
• 8:39
  So essentially,
• 8:39
  I just want my $40 million
• 8:41
  quarterback to get killed.
• 8:42
  Yep.
• 8:45
  Yep.
• 8:47
  It is, if you are not watching that,
• 8:49
  it is well worth,
• 8:51
  if you like football at all,
• 8:54
  and there's no way Brian
• 8:55
  Dayball runs a seven flat 40.
• 8:59
  Now he's probably closer to a 10.
• 9:02
  Yeah.
• 9:06
  What did he say?
• 9:07
  Who is, I think it was Xavier worthy.
• 9:10
  He said,
• 9:10
  if I started at the 20 and he
• 9:15
  started to start, could I beat him?
• 9:17
  And they were all like, absolutely not.
• 9:23
  That's very true.
• 9:24
  You've seen Xavier run.
• 9:27
  Yeah.
• 9:29
  And he is the fastest man to
• 9:30
  ever run the 40 at the NFL Combine.
• 9:33
  Yeah.
• 9:36
  And he just has Patrick thrown to him, so.
• 9:40
  Yeah.
• 9:41
  Just throw it and go get it.
• 9:44
  Him and Hollywood Brown, man.
• 9:46
  Chiefs did not get weaker.
• 9:52
  but anyway that's uh that's
• 9:56
  the tv world uh today in
• 9:59
  the mail I got this so you
• 10:06
  know wad zombie's been
• 10:07
  doing trading cards forever
• 10:11
  and he started a company
• 10:12
  called mint mint trading cards
• 10:16
  And up until now it's been,
• 10:18
  you buy one card and it
• 10:20
  comes like in a nice case and,
• 10:23
  or you can get it in a really nice case.
• 10:24
  Um,
• 10:25
  but now he has started selling wax packs,
• 10:29
  the old fashioned 1980s wax pack.
• 10:35
  How cool, how cool is that?
• 10:36
  So these came in the mail today.
• 10:40
  You get to open them and you
• 10:42
  don't know what's inside.
• 10:44
  So you open it up and the
• 10:46
  first thing I see, my girl Hattie Canio.
• 10:53
  Who did a show with us for
• 10:55
  like 12 weeks live from Bali.
• 10:59
  And that was awesome.
• 11:01
  So that is her rookie card.
• 11:02
  There's like six cards in a pack.
• 11:11
  I got the rookie Enola Kai.
• 11:16
  So that's what that little one looks like.
• 11:19
  Nice.
• 11:20
  I got the OG Chase Ingram.
• 11:27
  Got to throw one in there, I guess.
• 11:29
  Adrian Conway.
• 11:34
  The only man to beat Rich Froning.
• 11:37
  Is he commentating?
• 11:39
  Yeah,
• 11:40
  he's standing at the booth with the
• 11:42
  headset on.
• 11:44
  Should have had him performing.
• 11:46
  Competing, I guess.
• 11:47
  And then he made a
• 11:50
  behind-the-scenes Savon card.
• 11:56
  So.
• 11:57
  In my other pack,
• 12:01
  I got a double of the Enola Kai.
• 12:06
  And then we've got the Sean
• 12:08
  Woodland RIP card.
• 12:13
  That one's worth a lot.
• 12:15
  We got the Bill Grundler.
• 12:22
  Kyra Milligan, rookie card,
• 12:24
  going to the games.
• 12:28
  And legend Jason Kalipa.
• 12:33
  Look how deep he is in that squad.
• 12:34
  I know, with the depth on that big man.
• 12:39
  He is definitely below the
• 12:42
  knee right there.
• 12:45
  So pretty cool.
• 12:47
  Five cards a pack.
• 12:48
  You never know what you're going to get.
• 12:49
  You open it just like the old days.
• 12:52
  Super cool.
• 12:55
  So an awesome product from him.
• 12:57
  Do we know where we can get these?
• 12:58
  You can go to the Mint
• 13:00
  Trading Card Instagram.
• 13:04
  And in there,
• 13:04
  there's a link to the shop
• 13:06
  where you can buy them.
• 13:09
  So pretty cool.
• 13:11
  I see.
• 13:12
  And I actually bought the
• 13:14
  legend cards of Becca Voigt,
• 13:16
  Scott Pancheck, and Sam Dancer.
• 13:21
  So they're in that case right there.
• 13:27
  Sam's a legend?
• 13:29
  Yeah.
• 13:33
  I mean,
• 13:33
  I think what he did on the floor at
• 13:35
  times was legendary.
• 13:38
  I just mean,
• 13:38
  he's still kind of competing at the...
• 13:43
  Well, so has Beck of White.
• 13:44
  Beck of White podiumed last year, I think,
• 13:46
  at the Games or came close.
• 13:51
  Not individual.
• 13:53
  No, but Sam competed Masters last year.
• 13:57
  He won.
• 14:00
  There is no Philip Kelly in the cards.
• 14:06
  Andrew Sten was asking how many,
• 14:08
  and it is five cards per
• 14:09
  pack and a sticker.
• 14:11
  Five cards and a sticker.
• 14:14
  it has that like 1980s look
• 14:16
  to it the old wax pack tops
• 14:20
  donruss you know the old
• 14:23
  school card companies so
• 14:27
  super fun there we had this
• 14:31
  uh discussion I don't know
• 14:32
  if you saw on sunday night
• 14:33
  uh castro mentioned
• 14:35
  something about a hall of
• 14:36
  fame in crossfit
• 14:37
  And if there was a Hall of Fame,
• 14:39
  I put it out to Carolyn and Jamie.
• 14:42
  You had to start with three
• 14:43
  men and three women,
• 14:43
  and they all had to be retired.
• 14:49
  Who would you start the Hall of Fame with?
• 14:51
  Retired, retired, or?
• 14:54
  So they could be a master's athlete,
• 14:56
  but they're no longer in
• 14:57
  the elite individual.
• 15:01
  So it kills the women's side
• 15:03
  because all your multiple
• 15:06
  winners are still active.
• 15:10
  well annie's not she's still
• 15:12
  she is not retired she just
• 15:13
  had a baby this year and
• 15:19
  she's only like what 31. i
• 15:25
  mean yeah let's start with
• 15:27
  the original girls annie and nicole yeah
• 15:41
  And I can't ever remember her name.
• 15:44
  Something Y, something... Yes.
• 15:49
  So we had some Katie Hennigers in there.
• 15:51
  2008 Games Champion, 2007 Games Champion.
• 15:57
  One of those two.
• 15:58
  And then what she's done kind of outside.
• 16:00
  I had Sam Briggs.
• 16:06
  I think Sam Briggs is a must.
• 16:09
  I had...
• 16:12
  Becca Voigt.
• 16:14
  And I had Kristen Clever.
• 16:21
  Because 2009-2010,
• 16:22
  Clever was just a beast.
• 16:27
  And then Briggs,
• 16:30
  just legendary stuff on the
• 16:32
  floor and a champion.
• 16:33
  And Becca Voigt was the
• 16:34
  first double-digit CrossFit
• 16:36
  Games athlete.
• 16:43
  So some people we had listed
• 16:46
  other than that were Katie, Henninger,
• 16:52
  Carrie Pierce, Kristen Holta.
• 17:03
  So.
• 17:05
  Did you put Julie Foucher in there?
• 17:08
  So I thought about that after, in fact,
• 17:11
  kind of like, should I have a,
• 17:12
  should I have?
• 17:14
  And I think her career was too short.
• 17:16
  She's that like throughout this, you know,
• 17:20
  I think eventually she would get in,
• 17:23
  but not yet.
• 17:26
  Not in like the inaugural class.
• 17:29
  She's in that like China Cho
• 17:32
  tow bar section better than those two.
• 17:40
  She never finished lower
• 17:41
  than fourth at the games.
• 17:50
  mean she went four times I
• 17:53
  think she was second third
• 17:54
  third and fourth so I think
• 18:01
  she gets in especially
• 18:02
  ahead of like tovar and cho
• 18:06
  yeah no she's not she just
• 18:11
  got hurt this year
• 18:16
  Aaron Frazier says Frazier, Frazier,
• 18:18
  Froden, Kalipa.
• 18:20
  Corey says Rich, Kalipa, and Amundsen.
• 18:27
  The original fire breather.
• 18:31
  I say Matt, Rich, and who did I say?
• 18:35
  I think I still have it.
• 18:39
  No.
• 18:40
  Yeah, I do.
• 18:41
  James Fitzgerald, the first champ.
• 18:45
  then created opex and is
• 18:47
  still active with opex to
• 18:48
  this day I'd say rich
• 18:55
  fraser and spieler okay I
• 19:03
  don't hate that gotta get
• 19:06
  something from the little
• 19:06
  guys in here yeah carolyn
• 19:09
  completely forgot fraser that he retired
• 19:15
  But she had Miko Salo
• 19:16
  because of his influence on
• 19:18
  European athletes.
• 19:23
  So I don't hate that either.
• 19:24
  I don't hate the Spieler pick.
• 19:26
  I don't hate the Kalipa pick.
• 19:29
  I'm good with all those.
• 19:31
  I think Amundsen's a reach there,
• 19:33
  Corey Leonard.
• 19:34
  Because you're talking CrossFit games,
• 19:38
  and yeah,
• 19:39
  he was a fire breather back in
• 19:41
  the CrossFit.com days, but
• 19:46
  Would you put somebody like
• 19:47
  Bergender in there?
• 19:51
  I mean,
• 19:53
  all Hall of Fames eventually start
• 19:54
  adding contributors, right?
• 19:58
  Like Madden got in as a contributor,
• 20:01
  Steve Sable, things like that.
• 20:10
  Yeah, it's definitely CrossFit Games only,
• 20:12
  Corey,
• 20:12
  because if we're talking CrossFit games,
• 20:15
  period I mean you'd have to
• 20:17
  go Greg and Dave things
• 20:20
  like that to start it off
• 20:22
  this was just the athletes
• 20:23
  of the games so where does
• 20:28
  Bridges and Bailey land uh
• 20:37
  I think they're a couple I
• 20:38
  think they're a couple
• 20:39
  years away man like they're
• 20:41
  not in the inaugural class for sure
• 20:45
  What, Bailey?
• 20:46
  Did Bailey ever podium?
• 20:51
  Bridges did once.
• 20:59
  But does that,
• 21:00
  does the podium mean everything?
• 21:02
  It becomes to the,
• 21:03
  do you win championships?
• 21:05
  Well, it's about a resume.
• 21:07
  It's about a full-on rep.
• 21:08
  What,
• 21:09
  so you think Danny Broflex adds
• 21:11
  enough to his repertoire to...
• 21:15
  I think he did enough for the sport.
• 21:20
  I mean,
• 21:21
  does he get in before who's 11th element?
• 21:27
  Graham?
• 21:29
  Yeah.
• 21:31
  I think that's a tight call.
• 21:35
  Longer career for sure.
• 21:36
  Dan Marino.
• 21:43
  I'm not saying they don't
• 21:44
  make the Hall of Fame.
• 21:46
  You know what I mean?
• 21:47
  I'm just saying they're
• 21:48
  definitely not first ballot.
• 21:53
  I think Ben Smith, once he retires,
• 21:55
  is ahead of them.
• 21:57
  His longevity, his championship.
• 22:01
  He's now coaching athletes at the games.
• 22:05
  He has a bigger resume to
• 22:07
  lay out there than Dan
• 22:09
  Bailey and Josh Bridges.
• 22:13
  Does the guy that does the split clean?
• 22:25
  Was that Fitzgerald?
• 22:28
  No.
• 22:30
  He was at the Legends.
• 22:31
  That was the Rogue Legends game.
• 22:33
  That was.
• 22:35
  Yeah.
• 22:36
  I can't think of his name.
• 22:43
  uh craig possibly asked
• 22:46
  what's the story between
• 22:47
  opex this place comes up a
• 22:48
  lot in discussions it was
• 22:51
  just uh it it's james
• 22:54
  fitzgerald and his brother started
• 22:59
  like a training methodology
• 23:01
  based off a CrossFit,
• 23:03
  but they called it OPEX and
• 23:05
  kind of gave their own twists,
• 23:07
  a little more measurement to it.
• 23:10
  And I don't know all the details,
• 23:12
  but it's Canadian based and
• 23:13
  it's still very strong.
• 23:16
  up in calgary alberta in
• 23:19
  northern alberta like the
• 23:20
  calgary area in that
• 23:22
  northern alberta there's a
• 23:24
  lot of semi-final athletes
• 23:26
  that still train at james
• 23:28
  james fitzgerald's opex gym
• 23:32
  uh matt brady trains out of
• 23:37
  there um amy hosking I know
• 23:42
  I'm missing people I hate
• 23:44
  when I try to list but
• 23:45
  Anyway,
• 23:46
  it was... And they actually had an
• 23:48
  OPEX gym in Arizona.
• 23:50
  They expanded into some different places.
• 23:54
  And Greg felt like they were
• 23:57
  trying to compete against CrossFit.
• 23:59
  So there was a little bit of
• 24:01
  a rivalry there.
• 24:04
  But OPEX never got to be
• 24:05
  near as big as CrossFit did at all.
• 24:10
  So...
• 24:13
  there's your boy josh everts
• 24:14
  the split snatch guy that's
• 24:16
  what I was thinking about
• 24:18
  thanks aaron so where I
• 24:26
  actually first found out
• 24:27
  about opex myself was
• 24:30
  researching for an
• 24:33
  interview she was an
• 24:35
  american athlete she was
• 24:37
  the fittest one year she got married
• 24:44
  Taneil, Taneil, Taneil Reed-Burline.
• 24:48
  She was training in an OPEX
• 24:50
  gym in Arizona.
• 24:52
  And that's how I kind of
• 24:52
  like learned about it for the first time.
• 24:56
  And then I've heard much
• 24:59
  more about it since.
• 25:01
  But she was like the first
• 25:02
  person to introduce me to it.
• 25:04
  Because we weren't around in
• 25:06
  2009 and 8 and 7 when this
• 25:09
  was all kind of happening.
• 25:17
  Uh, Andrew Sten said,
• 25:18
  I think Fitzgerald also
• 25:20
  superheaded the black box summit.
• 25:27
  So,
• 25:29
  but definitely that hall of fame thing.
• 25:31
  I think it'd be cool to do.
• 25:35
  And even like maybe a
• 25:36
  traveling exhibition at the
• 25:38
  games or semifinals,
• 25:42
  I know Rich has a ton of his
• 25:43
  stuff just laying in a corner.
• 25:45
  I'm sure he'd donate a few things,
• 25:48
  like a headband or one of
• 25:51
  those necklaces or a pair of shades.
• 25:54
  So is it just a bunch of jerseys?
• 25:57
  Is it busts?
• 26:00
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 26:01
  Well, you know, they're broke right now,
• 26:03
  so we can't afford much.
• 26:05
  So it might be just one of
• 26:07
  Rich's kids doing a drawing.
• 26:09
  Yeah.
• 26:13
  Signed.
• 26:14
  Yeah.
• 26:16
  And that'll be the plaque.
• 26:18
  We'll just frame it and take
• 26:20
  it from place to place.
• 26:25
  For Matt,
• 26:26
  it'll be Sammy will cook something.
• 26:27
  We'll put it under a glass thing.
• 26:31
  Matt's favorite meal.
• 26:34
  This whole thing will just
• 26:35
  spark the old who's better.
• 26:39
  Yeah, I'm sure.
• 26:40
  But that's what Hall of Fames are about,
• 26:42
  right?
• 26:44
  People bragging about what
• 26:45
  they used to do.
• 26:45
  I mean, the answer's rich, but yeah.
• 26:53
  Tenille Berline,
• 26:54
  who smashed that O course in 17.
• 26:56
  Yeah.
• 26:57
  That was the first time I
• 26:59
  ever volunteered at the
• 26:59
  games was working that O course.
• 27:03
  And it was so much fun to watch.
• 27:07
  It was freezing.
• 27:08
  It was snowing in August,
• 27:10
  but it was fun to watch.
• 27:13
  Bethany and I reminisced
• 27:14
  about the snow last week.
• 27:20
  I still love chatting with her, man.
• 27:24
  She will always be one of my
• 27:25
  favorite athletes ever.
• 27:30
  You're on mute.
• 27:31
  Shadburn?
• 27:32
  Yeah.
• 27:33
  Well, Flores now.
• 27:34
  Flores, yes.
• 27:37
  Yeah.
• 27:38
  She'll always be Shadburn.
• 27:45
  um there's a couple
• 27:46
  announcements out this week
• 27:48
  uh dave's week in review he
• 27:51
  said that we know all the
• 27:52
  outdoor events now okay so
• 27:57
  it's swim run and the
• 28:00
  football field harrington
• 28:02
  field uh those are the only
• 28:04
  two outdoor events that'll
• 28:06
  be happening this year
• 28:07
  everything else will be inside
• 28:16
  And he said that the swim
• 28:18
  run would happen at 7 a.m.
• 28:20
  unless they got there and
• 28:22
  tested and 7 a.m.
• 28:23
  was still too hot.
• 28:24
  And then they would go at 6 a.m.
• 28:30
  Are we putting too much on the Texas heat?
• 28:32
  I think we might be.
• 28:34
  I mean, it's hot, but...
• 28:38
  It's hot,
• 28:38
  but kids play football on Friday
• 28:41
  nights in Texas in full pads.
• 28:47
  So what it sounds like is
• 28:49
  you need to buy stadium passes.
• 28:52
  If you buy field passes,
• 28:53
  you're wasting money.
• 28:55
  So they're not selling.
• 28:57
  So the field stuff is free.
• 29:00
  Well, okay.
• 29:03
  Yeah.
• 29:03
  So Farrington field is free admission.
• 29:06
  It holds almost 20,000 people,
• 29:12
  but the stadium and the stadium sold out.
• 29:14
  So you have to buy like
• 29:15
  third party scalper tickets
• 29:18
  to get in there.
• 29:21
  So you got to buy the free tickets.
• 29:24
  No,
• 29:24
  you have to buy that to get into
• 29:26
  Dickie's arena.
• 29:26
  You have to, they're all sold out.
• 29:29
  So you have to buy scalper tickets.
• 29:33
  But for Farrington Field,
• 29:34
  it's free to the public.
• 29:35
  First come, first serve.
• 29:36
  Uh-oh.
• 29:39
  We better not have another
• 29:40
  Cup of America situation.
• 29:43
  Yeah.
• 29:44
  That was crazy.
• 29:46
  Coach Sir Moose says,
• 29:47
  but we don't know the event
• 29:49
  that takes place on Farrington Field.
• 29:50
  That is correct.
• 29:51
  We do not know.
• 29:54
  But Dave is mentioning the track a ton.
• 29:58
  More than the field.
• 30:02
  It should just be a straight 100 sprint.
• 30:07
  400 repeats.
• 30:10
  Just a 100 sprint.
• 30:17
  Elimination style?
• 30:18
  Yep.
• 30:20
  Top three get in until you
• 30:22
  get to the finals.
• 30:28
  You never test speed, really.
• 30:30
  Sure.
• 30:31
  Speed.
• 30:33
  he's like yes it's hot but
• 30:35
  it's a run swim not a damn
• 30:37
  marathon he's also from
• 30:40
  louisiana summer coach sir
• 30:48
  moose says hurdles can you
• 30:52
  imagine then you'll see who
• 30:55
  the athletes are
• 30:58
  You'll see who's not an athlete.
• 31:01
  And who was an athlete.
• 31:02
  And the hurdles will change all of that.
• 31:07
  They'd get people hurt.
• 31:11
  Well,
• 31:11
  they're supposed to tip over with you.
• 31:14
  You shouldn't get hurt.
• 31:16
  You shouldn't,
• 31:17
  but if you fall with it and
• 31:20
  you don't know how to fall, it's trouble.
• 31:24
  If there's hurdles, my picks are
• 31:28
  Paige Semenza, Danny Spiegel,
• 31:32
  Daniel Brandon, those athletes.
• 31:36
  Oh,
• 31:36
  Spiegel's not getting those things up
• 31:38
  there.
• 31:39
  Dude, look at her log event at Rogue.
• 31:44
  That girl's an athlete.
• 31:46
  Softball slide under the log.
• 31:49
  She hurtled up over that log
• 31:51
  like it was nothing.
• 31:53
  This is different.
• 31:54
  110 hurdles are different than...
• 31:58
  As long as she doesn't have
• 31:59
  to run more than 100 meters, she's fine.
• 32:01
  It's never going to happen.
• 32:09
  Andrew Sten says maybe they
• 32:10
  do more of a steeplechase type hurdle.
• 32:14
  With a little mini pond of
• 32:16
  water on the other side for
• 32:18
  everybody to cool off.
• 32:26
  It's about 80-ish at 7 a.m.
• 32:27
  right now.
• 32:27
  Not unbearable, uncomfortable, sure,
• 32:29
  but not out of the question.
• 32:33
  Is this Texas or Louisiana?
• 32:36
  It's probably Louisiana.
• 32:37
  Yeah.
• 32:41
  Well,
• 32:41
  Yellow Host is riding a C2 bike in a
• 32:44
  sauna.
• 32:46
  It's preparing.
• 32:48
  So I think people are, like,
• 32:50
  making too much of it.
• 32:53
  And you know every athlete
• 32:54
  in Texas is going, shit,
• 32:56
  I wish there was more.
• 32:59
  Ariel and Abby and all those
• 33:02
  people that train in it
• 33:03
  every single day are like,
• 33:05
  give me eight events outside.
• 33:13
  Yeah.
• 33:16
  But anyway, we did get our media passes.
• 33:21
  So Kat and I will be there.
• 33:24
  Nice.
• 33:25
  It's about time.
• 33:28
  Got those Friday afternoon.
• 33:30
  Super stoked about that.
• 33:31
  It seems – I may be misreading it,
• 33:36
  but it looks a little bit
• 33:38
  different than last year.
• 33:39
  It actually looks like we
• 33:40
  have assigned spots in
• 33:41
  media row in the stadium.
• 33:45
  I guess that could be a good
• 33:48
  and bad thing.
• 33:49
  Depends on where you're assigned.
• 33:51
  Depends on where you're assigned.
• 33:52
  Yeah.
• 33:53
  Because it shows if they like you or not.
• 33:56
  Right.
• 33:56
  Yeah.
• 34:00
  So it'll be interesting to
• 34:01
  see where they put us.
• 34:05
  And then two working stations in the arena,
• 34:09
  both available to us to
• 34:12
  drop laptops and stuff like that.
• 34:15
  Yeah.
• 34:17
  Like the upstairs of the one last year.
• 34:22
  Yeah.
• 34:23
  But I also heard they cut
• 34:24
  the media credentials in
• 34:25
  half trying to get
• 34:30
  non-endemic media into the arena.
• 34:38
  So hoping that someone from
• 34:42
  ESPN or CNN or whatever
• 34:45
  would come in and want to cover...
• 34:50
  So I heard there could be
• 34:51
  another wave of approvals
• 34:53
  if they don't get a lot of
• 34:54
  interest in that realm.
• 34:58
  Yeah, yeah.
• 35:02
  So the last thing I wanted
• 35:03
  to bring up with you, Scott,
• 35:11
  I don't know what
• 35:12
  non-endemic media means.
• 35:15
  Uh, well, I'm sorry, Corey and in Cajun,
• 35:19
  it means they ain't the
• 35:21
  ones that cover CrossFit on
• 35:25
  a daily basis.
• 35:27
  Is that better?
• 35:34
  Hopefully he understood that.
• 35:37
  You didn't have enough.
• 35:39
  twang in it.
• 35:40
  I didn't have enough twang in it.
• 35:42
  And I said it too slow because the Cajuns,
• 35:45
  they go real fast like this.
• 35:46
  You had to go full water, boy.
• 35:56
  So the last thing I want to
• 35:57
  talk to you about is Dave on his week.
• 36:01
  Yes, that'll do fine.
• 36:04
  All right,
• 36:05
  so the last thing I want to talk about,
• 36:06
  David, as we can review, talked about,
• 36:08
  or no,
• 36:09
  it was in his interview with Elisa
• 36:11
  Filiano.
• 36:11
  She asked,
• 36:13
  are you going to change the
• 36:14
  season next year on what it
• 36:18
  takes to get to the games?
• 36:20
  And he said he would like to change it,
• 36:23
  but he thinks the current
• 36:24
  system works and they're
• 36:26
  going to have to do it for one more year.
• 36:33
  Okay.
• 36:34
  So it looks like we're doing
• 36:35
  open quarter semis games.
• 36:38
  Okay.
• 36:44
  He also said that he's heard
• 36:45
  all this point system talk,
• 36:47
  and he thinks that.
• 36:48
  He thinks that only benefits
• 36:50
  the top athletes.
• 36:55
  Well, who should?
• 36:58
  I mean, if you're good, if you're that top,
• 37:00
  what's the matter?
• 37:03
  So Matt O'Keefe brought up
• 37:09
  the PGA Tour and how they
• 37:13
  have a point system and a tier system.
• 37:16
  And that you can earn points
• 37:17
  for major competitions that
• 37:19
  a lot of the top golfers can do.
• 37:22
  But you can also earn points
• 37:24
  on like a lower tier system.
• 37:27
  And basically,
• 37:29
  someone would need to assign
• 37:31
  this event is this amount of points,
• 37:33
  this event is that amount of points, blah,
• 37:34
  blah, blah.
• 37:36
  But you could earn those
• 37:37
  points to get your
• 37:38
  opportunity to move up in
• 37:40
  the tiers to get your shot.
• 37:44
  But at least you're getting
• 37:45
  to play and compete in the
• 37:47
  process of getting there.
• 37:50
  The only issue I'd have with that is
• 37:56
  You have to... I mean,
• 38:00
  if I have more money than you,
• 38:01
  I can go to more events
• 38:02
  than you and get more points.
• 38:08
  True.
• 38:09
  True.
• 38:11
  And if all the U.S.
• 38:12
  points are way higher than
• 38:14
  the African points or the
• 38:16
  South American points,
• 38:17
  how do athletes from those
• 38:19
  areas gain enough to get up
• 38:21
  to the next level?
• 38:22
  I think it would need a lot of...
• 38:26
  I think it would need a lot
• 38:27
  of massaging and figuring out.
• 38:32
  But I think it's something to consider.
• 38:40
  Because that way, I don't know.
• 38:44
  I think we use an Olympic
• 38:46
  version and we're not big
• 38:47
  enough to be Olympic.
• 38:51
  But then what makes one
• 38:52
  event bigger than another?
• 38:56
  Well, you know,
• 38:58
  it's the level of competition.
• 39:00
  You'd need a really good system.
• 39:03
  Like in golf or tennis,
• 39:06
  there's a world ranking
• 39:07
  that actually means something.
• 39:08
  And if this competition has
• 39:13
  15 of the top 20 athletes,
• 39:16
  it's going to get more
• 39:17
  points because of the strength of field.
• 39:34
  Andrew Sten,
• 39:35
  I came up with a similar system.
• 39:36
  The hard part is determining
• 39:37
  how to decide which event qualify.
• 39:40
  And again,
• 39:42
  I think all events can have points.
• 39:45
  It's just how many points
• 39:48
  can you earn at those
• 39:49
  places because of strength of field.
• 39:53
  Like if you go to Rogue and
• 39:54
  it's got 20 of the top 25 athletes,
• 39:58
  it's going to be worth a
• 39:59
  lot of points how you
• 40:00
  finish there because you're
• 40:02
  going to get up against the
• 40:03
  best of the best.
• 40:07
  But then your issue with
• 40:08
  that is that's invitation.
• 40:12
  Right.
• 40:14
  But then there's Metcon Rush
• 40:16
  that's going to have a
• 40:17
  bunch of semifinal athletes
• 40:19
  and it's going to have some decent points,
• 40:21
  just not the max points.
• 40:25
  you're going to have crash crucible.
• 40:27
  You're going to have a lot of other,
• 40:30
  and it promotes people
• 40:31
  going to some of these
• 40:32
  local events to make them
• 40:34
  way more interesting.
• 40:35
  Like I just went to fresh
• 40:38
  coast this weekend on the
• 40:40
  beach in Lake Michigan and
• 40:41
  Dre strong was there.
• 40:43
  Ben Davidson, Rich Froning, Dan Bailey,
• 40:47
  a bunch of the people from
• 40:48
  eighth day gym who have
• 40:50
  qualified teams to the games and
• 40:53
  And it was a blast because
• 40:54
  they were there and the crowd was huge.
• 41:06
  And yeah,
• 41:07
  wouldn't it be fun to go to a
• 41:08
  local event and have to
• 41:09
  compete against an elite games athlete?
• 41:12
  I think there's two ways of looking at it.
• 41:15
  It would be fun to say, hey,
• 41:16
  I got to compete against
• 41:19
  Rich and Dan this weekend at Fresh Coast.
• 41:24
  But you're also knowing
• 41:25
  you're not going to win the
• 41:27
  championship as well.
• 41:33
  But yet you won.
• 41:34
  You're on the top of your
• 41:35
  leaderboard in your gym all the time.
• 41:39
  Yeah.
• 41:40
  But how many opportunities
• 41:42
  do you get to go up against
• 41:43
  Rich Froning in a competition?
• 41:49
  You know what I mean?
• 41:49
  Like...
• 41:51
  I'd love that opportunity back in my,
• 41:53
  like 2016,
• 41:54
  Scott would love that opportunity.
• 42:00
  Just saying.
• 42:08
  But I know like,
• 42:11
  And Moose is saying down
• 42:15
  here that Metcon Rush is
• 42:17
  local and Nick Matthews is there.
• 42:19
  Freya Mooseburger is there.
• 42:20
  All these people that missed
• 42:21
  the games are going there
• 42:23
  to get some competition time in.
• 42:29
  And in NorCal Classic,
• 42:30
  I know Carolyn Prevost is
• 42:31
  going out to that.
• 42:32
  Colton Mertens is going out to that.
• 42:36
  You have these opportunities
• 42:38
  for these local teams
• 42:39
  And I say local comps are
• 42:41
  still fairly big for their region.
• 42:44
  But the opportunity to go
• 42:45
  see these athletes up close
• 42:47
  is going to be,
• 42:47
  I think that's how the sport grows.
• 42:54
  Like Metcon Rush has been
• 42:55
  talked about more this year
• 42:56
  than any year I've known.
• 42:59
  And we've been following
• 43:00
  them for a couple years.
• 43:01
  And they have Nick Matthew there.
• 43:03
  They have Scott Tetlow there.
• 43:05
  They have a bunch of people
• 43:06
  on the women's side as well.
• 43:07
  It's going to be a great competition,
• 43:10
  and they give away more
• 43:11
  prize money than semifinals
• 43:14
  have the last few years.
• 43:23
  So that's how the sport grows,
• 43:27
  by growing at grassroots
• 43:28
  like it was initially in
• 43:30
  these regional-type events.
• 43:33
  I know, Andrew,
• 43:34
  I like to call them mid-majors.
• 43:38
  If you look at it from a
• 43:39
  college football perspective,
• 43:41
  it's not the big five.
• 43:44
  It's like that mid-major, next level down,
• 43:48
  where it's great competition,
• 43:50
  high-end athletes,
• 43:52
  but not quite the big show yet.
• 43:55
  It's like Penn State, LSU.
• 43:58
  Oh my gosh, dude, really?
• 43:59
  It's not quite the top tier yet.
• 44:05
  But you tried.
• 44:06
  Tried your best.
• 44:07
  I mean like Miami,
• 44:08
  University of Miami in Ohio.
• 44:11
  That little shitty school
• 44:12
  there in the western part of Ohio.
• 44:17
  That would be Miami University.
• 44:19
  Whatever.
• 44:21
  If they were bigger, I'd know their name.
• 44:26
  Just because all your
• 44:27
  money's at OU doesn't mean anything.
• 44:30
  I bought a building.
• 44:34
  It's a mid-major too.
• 44:38
  Because I ain't rich and I
• 44:39
  didn't have enough to give
• 44:40
  it to get us up into the big leagues.
• 44:46
  But I digress.
• 44:48
  And anyway,
• 44:49
  I got a meeting in a couple minutes.
• 44:51
  So
• 44:53
  Thank you for joining us for lunch today.
• 44:54
  It's been a great talk, great conversation,
• 44:56
  guys.
• 44:57
  The chat,
• 44:58
  you guys carry this show every week,
• 45:01
  and we love it and love your feedback.
• 45:04
  Corey, yeah,
• 45:04
  you got to get dialed in for Legends,
• 45:06
  man.
• 45:07
  This was a big goal.
• 45:08
  You better get there.
• 45:10
  Yeah, stop messing around.
• 45:12
  It's your last year without me.
• 45:14
  Last year without Charles.
• 45:19
  How are the hips, man?
• 45:20
  They doing good?
• 45:22
  Smooth as butter.
• 45:25
  Nice.
• 45:27
  With that, guys,
• 45:28
  we're going to head out of here.
• 45:30
  Thank you for joining us.
• 45:32
  We'll catch everybody next
• 45:33
  week on the Clydesdale Media Roundtable.
• 45:37
  Goodbye, guys.
• 45:37
  See you.
