  What is up, everybody?
• 0:36
  Happy Monday to you all.
• 0:38
  It is lunchtime,
• 0:39
  lunch with the Clydesdale.
• 0:41
  Good Monday afternoon.
• 0:43
  Going to throw the dart.
• 0:48
  Just an average throw.
• 0:49
  Just an average throw today.
• 0:51
  Nothing to write home about.
• 0:52
  Nothing super bad.
• 0:54
  All right.
• 0:55
  So, yeah.
• 0:58
  Good to be with you all today.
• 0:59
  What's going on, Jody?
• 1:00
  On time today.
• 1:02
  Must not be having anybody
• 1:04
  in the sales room today.
• 1:06
  But hopefully you're selling
• 1:07
  cabinets like mad today.
• 1:10
  Anyway, so good to have you all here.
• 1:13
  I'm super excited to be here.
• 1:15
  Got a couple things I wanted
• 1:16
  to talk about.
• 1:17
  First of all, if you saw the thumbnail,
• 1:19
  congratulations to the
• 1:20
  Oklahoma City Thunder for
• 1:23
  winning the NBA championship last night.
• 1:26
  A little bit of a...
• 1:30
  let down for the Pacers who
• 1:31
  lost Tyrese Halliburton in
• 1:34
  the first part of the game.
• 1:37
  They showed the replay this
• 1:38
  morning because I was live
• 1:40
  on the air when it happened
• 1:41
  and you could see his Achilles pop.
• 1:44
  It made my stomach flip.
• 1:47
  Are you guys,
• 1:48
  do you guys look away when
• 1:49
  there are injuries like
• 1:50
  that in sports or are you
• 1:53
  one of those people that want to see it,
• 1:54
  see how it happened?
• 1:55
  Yeah.
• 1:57
  slow-mo at all of that kind
• 1:58
  of stuff I don't know why
• 2:00
  just seeing it the the
• 2:02
  achilles pop inside the
• 2:03
  skin just made my stomach
• 2:06
  flip usually I'm not that
• 2:08
  freaked out uh but it it
• 2:11
  got me this morning it was
• 2:13
  just because this first
• 2:14
  thing when I saw it and uh
• 2:17
  yeah so the pacers were
• 2:20
  behind the eight ball for
• 2:20
  the rest of the game and ended up that um
• 2:26
  the Oklahoma City Thunder
• 2:27
  won the championship.
• 2:28
  Congratulations to them.
• 2:31
  And yeah,
• 2:33
  they're the youngest team in the NBA.
• 2:35
  So look for them to be
• 2:37
  successful for the next several years.
• 2:45
  Jeffrey Birchfield,
• 2:46
  just learned my son and
• 2:47
  daughter-in-law are having number four.
• 2:50
  Wow.
• 2:51
  I barely could handle one.
• 2:55
  But congratulations to them.
• 2:58
  Lito, I can't watch.
• 2:59
  I compete myself.
• 3:00
  So that would definitely
• 3:01
  make me scared of certain
• 3:02
  movements in competition.
• 3:05
  Yeah, you probably want to avoid that.
• 3:09
  I think what I've learned in,
• 3:12
  especially in basketball,
• 3:14
  if you have a calf injury, woe it back.
• 3:18
  too many times when people
• 3:20
  have suffered a calf injury
• 3:21
  and try to play through it,
• 3:23
  this is what the next step is.
• 3:27
  It's not a hundred percent, but man,
• 3:29
  the chances are pretty good.
• 3:31
  You weaken that calf and the
• 3:33
  next thing to go is the Achilles.
• 3:36
  So
• 3:39
  Last night,
• 3:39
  I promised you a story about my
• 3:41
  car problems over the weekend.
• 3:43
  So I'm going to bang through
• 3:44
  that real quick.
• 3:46
  We got my second car back
• 3:48
  from my daughter when she
• 3:49
  moved to Montana.
• 3:50
  And then my wife immediately
• 3:51
  had knee replacement surgery.
• 3:53
  So it just kind of sat in
• 3:55
  our driveway for a couple months.
• 3:58
  And stupid me didn't go out and start it.
• 4:03
  So...
• 4:05
  My wife was going away
• 4:06
  Friday night and wanted to
• 4:07
  take that car because it
• 4:08
  was easier on her knee.
• 4:10
  And we went to start it up and nothing.
• 4:13
  Like absolutely nothing.
• 4:15
  So I hooked it up to the charger.
• 4:17
  As soon as I hooked it up to the charger,
• 4:19
  it got enough juice that it
• 4:21
  locked the car and the keys
• 4:23
  were in the ignition
• 4:26
  because it's a special key.
• 4:28
  It has some kind of magnetic
• 4:29
  piece in it that once you
• 4:31
  put it in the ignition and
• 4:32
  there's no power,
• 4:33
  you cannot get the keys out.
• 4:35
  And that is the only key we
• 4:36
  have for that car.
• 4:38
  so then when I hooked up the
• 4:39
  the jumper cables to charge
• 4:41
  it it got just enough juice
• 4:43
  and all of a sudden the car
• 4:44
  locked itself so now I have
• 4:46
  the keys inside the car the
• 4:47
  car is locked we this is
• 4:49
  like the fifth time it's
• 4:50
  happened um and I've seen
• 4:53
  when we had the locksmith
• 4:54
  or triple a come out and do
• 4:56
  it so I tried to do it
• 4:57
  myself where I took a crowbar and i
• 5:02
  pulled back a little bit on
• 5:03
  the back corner of the door.
• 5:05
  I did get a coat hanger through and,
• 5:09
  and it was not stiff enough
• 5:10
  to do what I needed to do.
• 5:12
  I kept the charger on the
• 5:13
  battery so that I could get
• 5:14
  some power to unlock and powered or,
• 5:18
  what ended up being power to the windows.
• 5:22
  But so then I taped a shish
• 5:24
  kebab skewer to the end of
• 5:26
  the coat hanger, got it through the crack,
• 5:29
  got it to finally rest on
• 5:32
  one of the buttons for the
• 5:33
  window and was able to give
• 5:35
  enough pressure to roll
• 5:36
  down one of the windows.
• 5:38
  And then I could reach in and unlock it.
• 5:42
  So that's how we got back in.
• 5:45
  I charged the battery up
• 5:47
  over fifty percent went to
• 5:49
  start it still nothing and
• 5:51
  then my charger read that
• 5:52
  the battery was kaput so
• 5:58
  so it was kaput that's what
• 5:59
  I called the semperfi
• 6:01
  mechanic which I talked
• 6:02
  about last night um he is a
• 6:04
  mobile mechanic he comes
• 6:05
  right to my driveway he
• 6:07
  brought a battery he
• 6:09
  replaced it the car started
• 6:11
  right up but huge shout out
• 6:13
  to him uh semperfi mechanic
• 6:16
  and he also is a youtuber
• 6:18
  we talked about that a lot
• 6:19
  while he was working but he
• 6:21
  recorded the installation
• 6:23
  and that's what he does for his youtube
• 6:25
  He has close to fifty thousand subscribers,
• 6:28
  but go check him out.
• 6:29
  Semper Fi Mechanic.
• 6:30
  If you have any car trouble,
• 6:32
  he does have tips and trick
• 6:34
  videos to show you how to
• 6:35
  kind of do some of the stuff on your own.
• 6:37
  And he's a really nice guy.
• 6:39
  So huge shout out to Semper Fi Mechanic.
• 6:42
  Go check out his YouTube
• 6:43
  channel if you have any car
• 6:46
  needs and you're trying to
• 6:47
  fix it yourself.
• 6:50
  So that was a fun Friday for me.
• 6:56
  And then my wife went on
• 6:59
  just a short little like
• 7:00
  twenty four hour vacation
• 7:02
  with her family and I
• 7:03
  stayed with the dog.
• 7:05
  But that gave me an
• 7:06
  opportunity to watch some
• 7:07
  stuff that I don't normally get to watch.
• 7:10
  And so I'm going to do a
• 7:11
  quick review of some
• 7:13
  CrossFit content that came
• 7:14
  out this weekend.
• 7:16
  The first thing is Road to
• 7:17
  the Games with Ricky Garrard, Matty Sturt,
• 7:21
  and Jay Crouch came out this weekend.
• 7:24
  I will say, in my opinion,
• 7:27
  that may be the best Road
• 7:29
  to the Games they've done this year.
• 7:33
  I hope it's because they're
• 7:36
  digging a little deeper and
• 7:38
  they just didn't get it by
• 7:39
  accident because of the
• 7:40
  personalities of the
• 7:41
  athletes that they were talking to.
• 7:45
  But when we get to see the
• 7:46
  inside of Ricky's old van
• 7:49
  and that he has a mattress
• 7:50
  in there because he kept
• 7:51
  getting kicked out of his
• 7:52
  house and he tells that story,
• 7:55
  I would have liked them to
• 7:57
  dig a little deeper there
• 7:59
  as to why that might be happening.
• 8:02
  But that was funny.
• 8:02
  And he had a bike in there.
• 8:03
  He had like lawn equipment,
• 8:07
  anything you would need in
• 8:08
  this two thousand eighteen minivan.
• 8:13
  I thought that was really
• 8:14
  quirky and funny.
• 8:16
  Um,
• 8:16
  and then the relationship between
• 8:18
  Maddie Sturt and Jay Crouch
• 8:20
  was really cool to see, uh,
• 8:23
  the way they work together,
• 8:24
  the way they live together, um,
• 8:26
  how they divvy up things.
• 8:28
  I thought that was really,
• 8:31
  I learned a lot about them.
• 8:33
  So I would give that one an a minus,
• 8:38
  not the best videos I've seen this year.
• 8:40
  Um,
• 8:43
  maybe a couple of small steps down,
• 8:45
  but really,
• 8:45
  really enjoyable and highly recommend.
• 8:48
  Um,
• 8:50
  I learned a lot about those
• 8:52
  athletes in this video.
• 8:54
  Again,
• 8:55
  I hope it's a trend that they
• 8:56
  continue on moving forward
• 8:59
  and not just something that
• 9:00
  accidentally happened.
• 9:04
  But I was really excited to
• 9:06
  see a little more in-depth
• 9:10
  storyline and not just them
• 9:12
  training themselves.
• 9:15
  getting ricky out on a bike
• 9:16
  course that's always funny
• 9:18
  so good at that and to talk
• 9:20
  about how he's never lost a
• 9:21
  bike race um at the
• 9:23
  crossfit games that was um
• 9:26
  that was really good uh
• 9:30
  lito I enjoyed that one too
• 9:32
  but I do think a big part
• 9:33
  of it was their personalities
• 9:36
  Yeah, I'm afraid that's the problem,
• 9:38
  but I hope, I hope,
• 9:40
  hope that they're learning
• 9:42
  from this and seeing where
• 9:43
  they can get a little more
• 9:45
  depth into the storyline.
• 9:53
  The next one that came out
• 9:54
  this weekend that I wanted
• 9:56
  to talk about was Hiller's
• 9:58
  video with Tyson Bajan and Erica Folo.
• 10:02
  And this is documenting...
• 10:06
  Tyson's buddy's birthday workout,
• 10:09
  which was, I believe,
• 10:11
  a seventy four minute AMRAP
• 10:15
  of just absurd stuff.
• 10:22
  They had to jump up on this
• 10:23
  wall and jump back down.
• 10:26
  There were it was burpees and.
• 10:31
  kettlebell snatches or
• 10:32
  dumbbell snatches whichever
• 10:34
  you had one partner would
• 10:36
  do the snatches one would
• 10:37
  do the burpees when both
• 10:39
  are completely done you
• 10:40
  could do the wall jumps and
• 10:41
  alternate and then it was
• 10:43
  an eight hundred meter run
• 10:45
  half of the way was a
• 10:46
  partner run half of the way
• 10:48
  was a partner carry um and
• 10:53
  it turned out that erica
• 10:54
  folo and her partner who was a um
• 11:00
  Spartan racer did really well.
• 11:02
  They took second in that one.
• 11:04
  I won't tell you where Tyson finished.
• 11:08
  Let you find that for your own.
• 11:10
  But it looked like the
• 11:11
  leaders got somewhere in
• 11:13
  the neighborhood of three
• 11:14
  rounds of that in.
• 11:16
  Seventy four minutes.
• 11:19
  If I saw seventy four minutes.
• 11:23
  I think I think I would just.
• 11:27
  Not want to.
• 11:28
  But I would probably enjoy
• 11:30
  it because I like once you
• 11:32
  get into those type of workouts,
• 11:33
  it's just kind of keep moving.
• 11:39
  The intensity isn't as high
• 11:40
  because you're going for so long.
• 11:42
  And so that's interesting.
• 11:44
  But I found the most
• 11:46
  interesting parts were them
• 11:49
  sitting around the Bajent
• 11:50
  table and Travis Bajent
• 11:53
  talking about his old arm
• 11:54
  wrestling days and Erica Folo reacting to
• 12:00
  Tyson's dad and all of that kind of stuff.
• 12:02
  I thought that was interesting.
• 12:04
  They also take Erica out on
• 12:06
  a football field to play
• 12:07
  catch with Tyson and she
• 12:10
  shows pretty good athleticism.
• 12:13
  I was really impressed with all that.
• 12:16
  So really good video, really fun to watch.
• 12:22
  I've said on this show that
• 12:24
  it actually is going to be
• 12:25
  my two worlds colliding.
• 12:26
  And at the very opening of this video,
• 12:29
  Mark Carman,
• 12:30
  who is on the podcast I watch
• 12:32
  for the Chicago Bears,
• 12:34
  is in the video
• 12:35
  interviewing Tyson in his garage,
• 12:38
  and Hiller picks that up
• 12:40
  and calls him out for
• 12:43
  working on the CHGO podcast.
• 12:46
  And so that's super, super cool.
• 12:48
  And then I was watching CHGO on Friday,
• 12:54
  and they actually –
• 12:55
  They're going to do a video, too,
• 12:57
  that comes out this Friday.
• 12:59
  But last Friday,
• 12:59
  they shouted out Hiller on
• 13:01
  their podcast for the fun
• 13:04
  they had in West Virginia
• 13:05
  with Tyson and crew.
• 13:07
  So it's wild that like the
• 13:10
  both both of my worlds are
• 13:12
  colliding and they're
• 13:13
  calling out each other and
• 13:15
  I sent a text to Hiller with
• 13:17
  that shout out,
• 13:18
  and he just kind of laughed about it.
• 13:20
  But really, really enjoyed that video.
• 13:24
  I like it because it's not
• 13:27
  straight down the middle CrossFit.
• 13:30
  It's a little bit of like,
• 13:31
  how would a football player do?
• 13:32
  How would a Spartan racer do
• 13:33
  with this CrossFit thing?
• 13:35
  Erica Folo is going to be a star.
• 13:37
  She's really,
• 13:38
  really fun to watch and
• 13:39
  really fun to listen to.
• 13:43
  She has a great personality.
• 13:44
  And when she makes the games,
• 13:49
  Hiller's videos are going
• 13:50
  to skyrocket because he's
• 13:52
  going to have the whole
• 13:53
  story from beginning to end.
• 13:55
  And that's going to be an amazing,
• 13:58
  amazing set of videos that go together.
• 14:01
  So that one, I give an A on that one.
• 14:05
  I really, really enjoyed that one.
• 14:07
  And you learn at the very
• 14:09
  end that it is just a part one,
• 14:11
  but part two is coming.
• 14:13
  And that will dive more into
• 14:15
  the last chance qualifier, it appears.
• 14:17
  And Tyson being her rabbit.
• 14:20
  So it'll be interesting to
• 14:21
  see what happens with that.
• 14:25
  So road to the games, I give an A minus.
• 14:28
  Hiller's video,
• 14:28
  I give an A. And Lito
• 14:31
  brings up a great point.
• 14:33
  Castro's little cameo was funny, too.
• 14:35
  It really was.
• 14:36
  They were FaceTiming with
• 14:37
  Castro and Erica saying she
• 14:41
  didn't like the programming
• 14:42
  and Castro saying that
• 14:44
  he'll talk to her once she
• 14:45
  becomes a games qualifier.
• 14:48
  So I thought that was funny.
• 14:50
  Very, very funny.
• 14:53
  The last video I'm going to talk about,
• 14:55
  I talked about last night,
• 14:57
  and that is the Lydia Fish
• 14:59
  documentary about the last
• 15:00
  chance qualifier.
• 15:03
  Um, gosh, it was so well done.
• 15:06
  So well done.
• 15:07
  Uh, they talk,
• 15:09
  what it shows is that like
• 15:11
  the directions changed from
• 15:13
  one point to another with
• 15:14
  the workouts on the sheets
• 15:17
  and parent had to reread them every time.
• 15:20
  And that was a very key piece to that.
• 15:24
  Um, and.
• 15:27
  other part is like this this
• 15:29
  girl has the dog in her the
• 15:31
  fact that she keeps she
• 15:33
  kept coming back doing that
• 15:34
  legless rope climb event
• 15:36
  and the last time was at
• 15:37
  nearly midnight uh to get
• 15:39
  that done and in uh and
• 15:42
  probably that is what got
• 15:43
  her into uh the crossfit games
• 15:47
  CTP did an amazing job producing it.
• 15:51
  The music is fire in that video.
• 15:54
  It's just banger after banger.
• 15:57
  Lydia is charming.
• 15:59
  She's funny.
• 16:02
  When they talk about Halo
• 16:03
  and how they relax with Halo,
• 16:06
  how she works as a server
• 16:07
  at a supper club,
• 16:09
  all of that is super fun.
• 16:11
  It's called Official.
• 16:17
  Check that one out.
• 16:18
  That's really good too.
• 16:20
  Probably give that one an A+.
• 16:22
  That goes up into the upper
• 16:24
  echelon of videos that
• 16:26
  we've had this year.
• 16:29
  They did a great job with that one.
• 16:31
  So super,
• 16:33
  super stoked when I got to see that one.
• 16:35
  It was a pleasant surprise.
• 16:39
  And I've known CTP for a long time,
• 16:42
  ever since I've been on the
• 16:43
  road with regionals.
• 16:44
  He is just a great, great dude.
• 16:46
  And I shouldn't be surprised
• 16:48
  that he would put together
• 16:49
  something like that.
• 16:54
  Just caught up with, Shay says,
• 16:56
  just caught up with last night's show.
• 16:58
  Was a great one.
• 16:58
  Really enjoyed Raph.
• 16:59
  Yeah, Raph's the best.
• 17:04
  And if you weren't with us last night,
• 17:06
  Raph actually did
• 17:07
  commentary for us for the
• 17:09
  twenty two CrossFit Games.
• 17:12
  And we put we brought him on.
• 17:13
  We bought Mitch McClure,
• 17:14
  who is Carrie Pierce's husband.
• 17:17
  We brought on Lex and
• 17:19
  Carolyn Prevo back then
• 17:21
  before Carolyn was a part of the show.
• 17:23
  And that really started the
• 17:24
  relationship we had with
• 17:26
  Carolyn and Lex and turned
• 17:28
  into her being a part of
• 17:29
  the show that twenty two season.
• 17:33
  So it's fun to bring Raph back,
• 17:34
  talk about teams last night,
• 17:36
  and that's actually a
• 17:37
  perfect segue into the next
• 17:39
  thing I wanted to talk about.
• 17:41
  Last night on the show,
• 17:42
  when we were talking about
• 17:43
  what could we change with
• 17:44
  teams to make it more
• 17:46
  relevant and more fan-friendly,
• 17:49
  and one of the things that
• 17:50
  we brought up was that,
• 17:52
  or that Raph brought up was...
• 17:55
  that have like a team
• 17:57
  sponsor that they can build
• 17:59
  a team and keep it going year over year.
• 18:02
  So like hypothetically fit
• 18:05
  at fit aid has a team, um,
• 18:09
  Yeti has a team.
• 18:12
  Frogrips has a team.
• 18:14
  And then you recruit the
• 18:15
  people to that team and you
• 18:17
  keep it and you grow and
• 18:19
  you either sign new
• 18:20
  athletes on or people leave
• 18:22
  and go individual,
• 18:22
  whatever that might be.
• 18:24
  But it's a way that like you
• 18:26
  can then get like loyalty
• 18:28
  to a team because that same
• 18:30
  team name will appear year over year.
• 18:33
  Now with that,
• 18:34
  you'd have to get rid of the
• 18:35
  affiliate cup and it would
• 18:36
  just be called like the
• 18:37
  team championship.
• 18:40
  It was an idea he had.
• 18:42
  And while I was laying in bed last night,
• 18:44
  I thought about, man,
• 18:46
  if the WFP took that, it could make their,
• 18:50
  their season even better
• 18:54
  because I've been watching
• 18:55
  this drive to survive about F one racing.
• 18:58
  And there are teams with
• 18:59
  multiple drivers throughout that.
• 19:01
  And they earn points just
• 19:02
  like the WFP to go for the
• 19:05
  championship at the end of the year.
• 19:08
  How about if the WFP had
• 19:10
  teams like Team Red Bull, Team Adidas,
• 19:15
  Team Rolex, Team FitAid,
• 19:20
  whatever it might be, right?
• 19:22
  And then you as WFP say that
• 19:26
  each team has four members.
• 19:31
  So that gives you ten teams.
• 19:34
  And each team has two men and two women.
• 19:37
  And as they compete throughout the season,
• 19:39
  they're earning their
• 19:40
  individual points to go for
• 19:42
  an individual championship.
• 19:44
  But then you take their
• 19:45
  points and you add them together.
• 19:49
  And.
• 19:52
  And then whatever the total points are,
• 19:55
  are the team points going
• 19:56
  into the next event.
• 19:58
  So not only are you getting
• 20:00
  an individual competition,
• 20:03
  but there's a team aspect
• 20:04
  to it that you're trying to
• 20:06
  put together points as a team.
• 20:10
  I think that would be add
• 20:12
  more excitement to the
• 20:13
  overall piece without adding another,
• 20:18
  another competition to the floor.
• 20:20
  Right.
• 20:23
  And maybe you can do it by camp,
• 20:26
  but the camps are so
• 20:27
  unevenly distributed with people.
• 20:30
  I don't know if that is possible.
• 20:33
  But maybe you say like, okay, TTT,
• 20:36
  you get to draft four
• 20:37
  people and underdogs,
• 20:39
  you get to draft four people and mayhem,
• 20:42
  you got to pick four people
• 20:43
  and so on and so forth.
• 20:46
  Proven you've got four people.
• 20:48
  And then maybe you get a
• 20:50
  major sponsor to take the team name.
• 20:53
  So you have like proven frog
• 20:57
  grips and they're a team
• 20:59
  with four people.
• 21:02
  And then the people who
• 21:03
  really mess it up are the
• 21:05
  challengers who aren't in
• 21:07
  that top-twenty pro card area on a team,
• 21:10
  and they're just messing up
• 21:11
  the points all over,
• 21:13
  not only for the individual race,
• 21:15
  but for the team race as well.
• 21:19
  And they're kind of the outlaws.
• 21:23
  And I think that would be a
• 21:24
  very cool concept in a way
• 21:27
  to get brand loyalty and
• 21:30
  or athlete loyalty or team
• 21:33
  loyalty to an aspect of
• 21:35
  your competition which
• 21:37
  would make it more fun to
• 21:38
  watch for spectators I
• 21:45
  don't I don't know if
• 21:46
  everybody is understanding
• 21:47
  what I'm saying because you
• 21:49
  have to like watch
• 21:52
  Formula One racing or
• 21:53
  something like that to kind
• 21:54
  of understand the point
• 21:56
  thing that I'm talking about.
• 21:57
  And I know that the points
• 21:58
  for individuals is already hard enough.
• 22:01
  Then you add this in it.
• 22:02
  It just makes things more complicated.
• 22:05
  But like Kenneth says, team pups and suds.
• 22:08
  There you go.
• 22:12
  Or mutts and cuts.
• 22:15
  Name that movie.
• 22:19
  Uh, so yeah,
• 22:20
  I thought that would be like a
• 22:21
  cool way if I'm WFP to gain
• 22:24
  more interest in my
• 22:26
  competition is to add a
• 22:28
  team element to it.
• 22:31
  where two men,
• 22:32
  two women is a team and they
• 22:35
  have a corporate
• 22:36
  sponsorship for that team
• 22:38
  and maybe they offset the
• 22:39
  cost to the events and WFP
• 22:42
  then saves that money for other things.
• 22:46
  Yes, Corey, you nailed it.
• 22:48
  Dumb and dumber, mutts and cuts.
• 22:55
  I don't know.
• 22:56
  I just think that that would be...
• 22:58
  that would make it more
• 22:59
  interesting on the backend
• 23:02
  rooting for the overall
• 23:03
  team as well as the individual athletes.
• 23:08
  Just a thought.
• 23:11
  One of those like half
• 23:11
  asleep thoughts that you
• 23:13
  get in the middle of the
• 23:14
  night and you don't know if
• 23:15
  it's a great idea or a terrible idea,
• 23:18
  but you're just going to
• 23:18
  throw it out there anyway.
• 23:21
  That's kind of what happened there.
• 23:25
  So
• 23:27
  It's Monday.
• 23:28
  We don't have a lot going on.
• 23:29
  Last thing is,
• 23:31
  yesterday I watched the
• 23:34
  movie The Accountant II.
• 23:36
  I was really excited about
• 23:37
  this movie coming out.
• 23:39
  I was a huge, huge,
• 23:41
  huge fan of The Accountant.
• 23:47
  If people have not seen it,
• 23:48
  it's a Ben Affleck movie
• 23:51
  where he plays an autistic accountant and
• 23:59
  And I love that movie.
• 24:01
  He's kind of an antihero
• 24:03
  where he is super smart
• 24:05
  when it comes to accounting.
• 24:06
  He can see like where criminals are,
• 24:10
  are utilizing the system to
• 24:13
  get ahead of things.
• 24:15
  And yeah,
• 24:18
  And what I will say is for
• 24:19
  The Accountant two,
• 24:22
  it veers off that a little
• 24:23
  bit because it brings his
• 24:26
  brother in who is played by
• 24:27
  John Barenthal,
• 24:29
  who is a great actor as well.
• 24:31
  And John Barenthal, I think,
• 24:32
  steals a little bit of this
• 24:34
  of this movie.
• 24:37
  I mean,
• 24:37
  it's almost more about him than it
• 24:39
  is about the Ben Affleck
• 24:40
  accountant character.
• 24:42
  And there's less of the
• 24:44
  diagnostic accounting and
• 24:46
  him going through all that
• 24:47
  stuff and more about them
• 24:49
  working together and
• 24:51
  building a relationship as brothers.
• 24:54
  Um,
• 24:55
  While it's very different
• 24:56
  than the first one,
• 24:57
  I did enjoy this movie.
• 25:00
  I enjoyed it a lot.
• 25:02
  And I would recommend it if
• 25:03
  you like the first one.
• 25:05
  But a lot of the reviews say
• 25:07
  that it did veer off too
• 25:08
  much for some of those people.
• 25:11
  um when I went back and
• 25:12
  looked at it after it
• 25:14
  because I saw it was a six
• 25:15
  point eight out of ten on
• 25:17
  internet movie database and
• 25:19
  then after I watched I went
• 25:21
  back to see why they said
• 25:22
  that and they do say it
• 25:24
  kind of veers away from the
• 25:25
  first one too much um with
• 25:27
  it going into the brother
• 25:28
  story more than the
• 25:30
  accounting and the
• 25:31
  accountant puzzle solving
• 25:33
  piece um but I did enjoy it
• 25:36
  I thought that it was very
• 25:38
  fast moving action-packed
• 25:41
  Um, sometimes funny,
• 25:44
  sometimes endearing movie, um,
• 25:47
  that kind of went in a
• 25:48
  different direction.
• 25:50
  So I would give the
• 25:51
  accountant to a four out of five stars.
• 25:57
  That's my opinion.
• 25:58
  Um, the first accountant,
• 26:00
  I would give a five out of five, this one,
• 26:03
  a four out of five.
• 26:07
  um lito I would love it if
• 26:09
  the team's comp was a
• 26:11
  little more like grid where
• 26:12
  you had a bit more choice
• 26:14
  on who does what and how
• 26:15
  much uh christian kettler
• 26:24
  you know scott is old when
• 26:25
  he calls imdb by its full
• 26:26
  name I was going to call it imdb but
• 26:30
  that was dumb.
• 26:30
  I was just going to say, I'm D I am DB.
• 26:32
  And I'm thought, well,
• 26:33
  maybe someone doesn't know what that is,
• 26:35
  but that's just dumb.
• 26:36
  And that's why I'm old.
• 26:38
  So you have pointed that out properly.
• 26:41
  Uh, back to Lito.
• 26:43
  So last night, um,
• 26:45
  we talked about it with
• 26:45
  Raph about the possibility
• 26:47
  of a six person team, um,
• 26:51
  for team series or whatever
• 26:53
  for the teams.
• 26:55
  And, um,
• 26:59
  And then you substitute in,
• 27:02
  you could only play four per event.
• 27:05
  And you had to have where
• 27:08
  everybody has to do at
• 27:09
  least X number of events.
• 27:12
  So you can't hide anybody
• 27:14
  and you do do substitution,
• 27:16
  but not like grid where
• 27:18
  you're changing midstream.
• 27:20
  If that makes sense.
• 27:23
  So still kind of keep it
• 27:24
  truer to the CrossFit piece
• 27:26
  where it's just the four on
• 27:27
  the floor are competing.
• 27:30
  not changing midstream but
• 27:34
  um but then you can
• 27:36
  substitute someone out for
• 27:38
  the next event or if
• 27:39
  someone gets hurt you have
• 27:41
  a backup and don't have to
• 27:43
  withdraw uh jay birch I
• 27:51
  actually didn't know what
• 27:52
  that that was an acronym
• 27:54
  thanks for the save man
• 28:00
  Um, Corey,
• 28:01
  did you already mention the
• 28:02
  mighty LSU tigers winning
• 28:03
  the natty yesterday?
• 28:05
  I didn't cause I was going
• 28:06
  to save that for Wednesday.
• 28:08
  Cause I knew you'd want to
• 28:09
  talk about that briefly.
• 28:12
  Um, but I did see that.
• 28:15
  Congratulations to the LSU
• 28:17
  tigers winning the college world series.
• 28:27
  Alito says, yes, that was a great idea.
• 28:31
  We've got a local event
• 28:32
  called Send Them In,
• 28:34
  which is exactly that.
• 28:35
  And there are events for two, three,
• 28:37
  or four people.
• 28:38
  Yeah.
• 28:39
  I think that Waterpalooza
• 28:43
  SoCal got it kind of right.
• 28:46
  that's more of like an
• 28:47
  all-star thing but like one
• 28:49
  event had three people one
• 28:51
  event had the whole team
• 28:52
  one event had maybe that's
• 28:54
  too confusing and you just
• 28:56
  have four per event um but
• 29:00
  but I don't know and leader
• 29:08
  says out of a team of six
• 29:09
  yeah yeah I think as long
• 29:14
  as you cap it at four
• 29:16
  I would not want any events
• 29:17
  with more than four people on the floor.
• 29:19
  It's already too crowded as
• 29:21
  it is with some of the events.
• 29:25
  I would rather have less
• 29:27
  than more on the floor.
• 29:31
  But I think you could take
• 29:32
  some stuff from SoCal and
• 29:35
  learn from it and maybe
• 29:36
  apply some of that to the
• 29:39
  team competition.
• 29:43
  For sure.
• 29:45
  I think what CrossFit's bad
• 29:47
  at is not looking outside
• 29:49
  their own walls for ideas to change.
• 29:54
  Rogue has done some innovative things.
• 29:56
  Wadapalooza has done some
• 29:57
  innovative things.
• 29:58
  They should look outside
• 29:59
  their walls at what's going
• 30:01
  on at other competitions
• 30:03
  and maybe pull some of that stuff in.
• 30:10
  But, but yeah.
• 30:16
  So the last thing I had on my list,
• 30:17
  and this just kind of
• 30:19
  popped up in the chat last night,
• 30:21
  and it happened as we were on the air,
• 30:23
  so I wasn't able to really look into it.
• 30:26
  But if you did not know, Maddie Rogers,
• 30:29
  the Olympic weightlifter,
• 30:32
  she's here on her story.
• 30:34
  You can go to Maddie Rogers
• 30:37
  Ollie and see this post.
• 30:41
  She had a TIA or a mini
• 30:44
  stroke in training on
• 30:46
  Friday and spent the
• 30:47
  weekend in the hospital
• 30:49
  getting tests and whatnot.
• 30:54
  While I'm still awaiting answers,
• 30:56
  luckily I don't really have
• 30:57
  any deficits lingering and
• 30:59
  I'm feeling mostly normal today.
• 31:01
  And then she goes into a
• 31:04
  piece on the American health system,
• 31:07
  which I've had my own issues with.
• 31:10
  But I hope that she is okay.
• 31:13
  She is an amazing Olympic lifter.
• 31:17
  And hopefully she's not down
• 31:20
  and out for too long.
• 31:22
  But man, mini stroke.
• 31:24
  My mom just had that stroke
• 31:25
  a couple months ago.
• 31:26
  They're scary.
• 31:28
  So glad that she's doing
• 31:29
  okay and up and around with
• 31:31
  no real deficiencies.
• 31:37
  So there is that.
• 31:39
  I also talked about my AFib
• 31:41
  issues on Friday's show,
• 31:43
  and I got a lot of direct
• 31:44
  messages on Instagram.
• 31:46
  And I want to thank
• 31:47
  everybody for sending me
• 31:50
  what research they know of
• 31:52
  and about the correlation between
• 31:59
  between COVID and AFib or
• 32:02
  the COVID vaccine and AFib,
• 32:05
  whatever that may be.
• 32:07
  I just thank everybody for
• 32:09
  what they've seen and other
• 32:10
  contributors that can play
• 32:12
  a part in AFib.
• 32:15
  So that is...
• 32:17
  That was very helpful,
• 32:19
  and I appreciate it so much.
• 32:20
  I didn't have time to send
• 32:21
  responses to everybody who
• 32:23
  sent me feedback,
• 32:25
  but I do want to thank
• 32:25
  everybody for reaching out on that.
• 32:35
  Corey, gee, glad she's okay.
• 32:37
  I just saw a video of her hang snatching.
• 32:40
  Two-fifty-seven, Maddie, not your mom,
• 32:42
  Scott.
• 32:43
  Have you seen my mom snatch?
• 32:46
  Just saying.
• 32:50
  Just kidding.
• 32:50
  My mom loves to deadlift,
• 32:53
  loves to deadlift,
• 32:54
  but her deadlift isn't even
• 32:55
  two fifty seven.
• 32:56
  So.
• 33:00
  At eighty years old,
• 33:01
  she's still triple digits on her deadlift,
• 33:03
  and I'm very proud of her for that.
• 33:10
  I'm sure USA Olympics is no help either.
• 33:13
  Have you been following the
• 33:14
  Lolo Jones story?
• 33:16
  I am I following it?
• 33:17
  No.
• 33:18
  Have I seen it?
• 33:19
  Yes.
• 33:20
  I know she said some things
• 33:21
  and got kicked out of, um,
• 33:26
  got kicked out of the
• 33:27
  Olympic training center.
• 33:28
  And now there are people
• 33:29
  saying that that was too
• 33:29
  harsh of a penalty,
• 33:31
  but I don't really know
• 33:32
  what she said exactly.
• 33:34
  Um,
• 33:35
  but I'll look into that Jay Burch just
• 33:36
  so I can be more educated on that.
• 33:39
  Um, I,
• 33:42
  I lost interest in Lolo
• 33:43
  Jones a couple of years ago,
• 33:46
  but when she started doing
• 33:48
  the reality TV circuit, I just,
• 33:55
  I don't know.
• 33:56
  She's she's weird,
• 33:59
  but aren't we all right.
• 34:05
  So, yeah, with that, tomorrow,
• 34:11
  hopefully we'll have some
• 34:11
  more CrossFit stuff to talk about.
• 34:14
  And I just finished watching
• 34:17
  Surviving Ohio State.
• 34:20
  And I do want to talk about that.
• 34:26
  But I just finished it.
• 34:29
  and I'm still taken aback at
• 34:34
  everything that I saw so as
• 34:38
  I sort that out over the
• 34:39
  next hours I do want to
• 34:42
  talk about that a little
• 34:42
  bit tomorrow it's a it's a
• 34:45
  new documentary on hbo max
• 34:48
  or max sorry christian
• 34:51
  just max now the hip young
• 34:53
  way to say it surviving
• 34:56
  Ohio State about a doctor
• 35:00
  who abused athletes at Ohio
• 35:02
  State and then it got worse
• 35:05
  it got worse than just
• 35:06
  abusing athletes hard to believe but
• 35:09
  yeah,
• 35:10
  I'll talk about that tomorrow a
• 35:11
  little bit.
• 35:12
  And maybe some of the other
• 35:13
  documentaries I've been
• 35:14
  watching this weekend since
• 35:16
  my wife was away,
• 35:17
  I got to watch those without,
• 35:19
  and anybody tell me that they're boring.
• 35:23
  Um, Jody never heard of Lolo Jones.
• 35:27
  So she is an Olympic,
• 35:29
  she was an Olympic hurdler.
• 35:30
  And then she tried to be an
• 35:31
  Olympic bobsledder.
• 35:33
  And then she tried to be a model.
• 35:35
  She tried to be a reality TV star.
• 35:38
  Um,
• 35:43
  But I don't think she was ever successful,
• 35:45
  truly successful at any of those things.
• 35:49
  Fell short at like every
• 35:50
  single one along the way.
• 35:59
  Lito, speaking of documentaries,
• 36:01
  I really enjoyed the one on
• 36:02
  the Titan submersible.
• 36:04
  I don't know if I could watch that.
• 36:08
  the one that imploded right
• 36:10
  like gosh that that's like
• 36:13
  my biggest fear being under
• 36:18
  dirt underwater under
• 36:19
  whatever and not being able
• 36:20
  to breathe like the thought
• 36:26
  of being buried alive just
• 36:27
  makes me want to vomit and
• 36:29
  then to be that far down
• 36:31
  into the ocean and
• 36:34
  everything just implode at
• 36:36
  least to be done quick I guess but
• 36:39
  Yeah,
• 36:39
  I don't know if I can watch that one.
• 36:48
  Jody Lynn saw that and liked it as well.
• 36:55
  It wasn't so much on the disaster itself,
• 36:57
  Scott,
• 36:58
  just kind of the culture and the
• 36:59
  company that led to it.
• 37:00
  Very interesting.
• 37:03
  All right, maybe I'll take a look at it.
• 37:10
  Watching all the things that
• 37:11
  went wrong with the
• 37:12
  submersible would be hard to watch,
• 37:13
  says Meredith.
• 37:16
  Corey,
• 37:17
  your biggest fear is being in a
• 37:20
  carbon fiber submersible that implodes?
• 37:22
  That's so specific.
• 37:24
  No, it's more about the claustrophobic,
• 37:27
  not being able to have air thing.
• 37:30
  That's more my biggest fear.
• 37:34
  I just pushed all that on to
• 37:37
  being in a submersible.
• 37:55
  That's more it, not that specific thing,
• 37:57
  but more claustrophobic, no air,
• 38:01
  no breathing.
• 38:09
  If it makes me feel any better,
• 38:11
  when it imploded, they all died instantly,
• 38:13
  more or less vaporized.
• 38:16
  Yeah,
• 38:16
  I think I would have the fear before
• 38:18
  the implosion.
• 38:19
  Just being in the
• 38:20
  submersible that far down,
• 38:24
  I would have a hard time.
• 38:31
  So, I'm not really claustrophobic,
• 38:36
  but I am.
• 38:40
  Yeah,
• 38:40
  I'm really making a lot of sense today.
• 38:47
  Meredith,
• 38:48
  there's no way you'd catch her
• 38:49
  going that deep in the ocean,
• 38:51
  and she's not even claustrophobic.
• 38:58
  Also, they're literally bolted in.
• 39:00
  It cannot be opened from the inside.
• 39:02
  Yeah, that's the ringer right there.
• 39:07
  Lock me into something where
• 39:08
  I can't get out.
• 39:13
  Have any of you went up in the St.
• 39:16
  Louis Arch?
• 39:21
  That about killed me.
• 39:25
  You get into a little egg
• 39:26
  shaped thing that is kind
• 39:29
  of like a weird Ferris
• 39:32
  wheel inside the arch that
• 39:34
  kind of clicks its way up.
• 39:36
  It is awful.
• 39:42
  And you are locked in there
• 39:43
  till you get to the top.
• 39:44
  And then you got to hop back
• 39:45
  in to get the way on the way down.
• 39:47
  I can't believe I did it once.
• 39:53
  Never do that again.
• 39:59
  So I got to say I was in it one time,
• 40:01
  and that will be the only
• 40:02
  time this guy is ever in the St.
• 40:04
  Louis Arch.
• 40:09
  I used to be a daredevil as a kid, but,
• 40:10
  man,
• 40:11
  I've lost all of that now that I'm older.
• 40:16
  I've bungee jumped when I was younger,
• 40:19
  done those kinds of things.
• 40:20
  Now I just don't want to do
• 40:21
  any of that stuff.
• 40:27
  Lido, the St.
• 40:28
  Louis arch.
• 40:28
  It's in St.
• 40:29
  Louis, Missouri in the United States.
• 40:32
  It's the gateway arch.
• 40:33
  It's a big silver arch in
• 40:36
  the middle of St.
• 40:37
  Louis.
• 40:38
  And it is considered the
• 40:39
  gateway to the West.
• 40:41
  If you're going East to West
• 40:43
  and it's right on the Mississippi river.
• 40:45
  So when you're up there,
• 40:47
  you're overlooking the
• 40:47
  Mississippi river in St.
• 40:50
  Louis, Missouri.
• 40:56
  So,
• 41:00
  Jay Burch, bungee jump, hell no.
• 41:01
  I did it a long time ago.
• 41:02
  It was really fun.
• 41:06
  But I would not do it now at fifty five.
• 41:09
  Those days are past me for sure.
• 41:14
  All right, guys.
• 41:15
  Well, thanks for being here.
• 41:17
  Tomorrow we'll do Surviving
• 41:19
  Ohio State and hopefully
• 41:21
  some more CrossFit news
• 41:22
  breaks or something
• 41:26
  releases that we can talk
• 41:27
  about or I'll try to come
• 41:28
  up with a topic we can talk about.
• 41:31
  Maybe we'll do a top five Tuesday.
• 41:33
  Who knows?
• 41:34
  It's all up in the air right now.
• 41:37
  I'll come up with something tomorrow.
• 41:39
  With that, guys,
• 41:40
  I got to get back to work.
• 41:41
  It's time for you
• 41:42
  knuckleheads to get back to work.
• 41:44
  We'll see everybody tomorrow
• 41:45
  on Lunch with the Clydesdale.
• 41:47
  Bye, guys.
