Lunch with the Clydesdale - How Long Will Tia Troll Us? · Clydesdale Media Podcast

0:31
What is going on, everybody?
0:34
It is Thursday.
0:35
We are almost to the end of the work week,
0:37
but it's lunchtime and
0:39
we're taking a break.
0:40
Taking a break with you all
0:41
so we can hang out, have some fun,
0:43
talk about some stuff going
0:45
on around the space,
0:47
and just talk about stuff.
0:51
Yeah, so let's start with the dart.
0:52
I'm going to get that out of the way.
0:54
Let's give it a shot.
0:59
Felt bad coming out of the hand.
1:01
Wide right.
1:03
I actually hit the,
1:06
I think it's the three.
1:09
Is that what it is out there?
1:12
Yeah, the number three,
1:13
nothing inside the scoring thing.
1:15
Man, one of these days,
1:17
it just felt awful.
1:21
What's going on, Jody Lynn?
1:24
Nicole Sherman, how are you?
1:29
Um, yeah.
1:30
So yesterday I had to hop on,
1:31
hop off super fast.
1:33
We had one of those like all team meetings,
1:36
uh, through, uh, Microsoft teams.
1:38
It's got like five hundred people on the,
1:41
on the meeting.
1:43
And they're just a, you know,
1:46
dog and pony show thing
1:47
that they give us updates
1:52
that they don't really give
1:53
us any updates on.
1:55
But what drives me nuts, this, uh,
1:58
I'll sit through the meeting fine.
2:00
What drives me nuts is that
2:02
last minute of the meeting where like,
2:06
eighty percent of the
2:07
people on the meeting,
2:09
it's their time to kiss butt.
2:11
It's the thank yous.
2:13
It's the
2:16
You're the best.
2:17
Oh, thanks for doing these.
2:20
Oh, it just drives me up the wall.
2:22
And you know, none of them mean it.
2:25
None of them mean it.
2:26
And then your Microsoft
2:27
Teams alert keeps like dinging, ding,
2:30
ding,
2:30
ding for everyone throwing one in there.
2:33
So as quickly as I can, I go mute it.
2:36
And then I just get out and
2:37
go to something else.
2:39
And they can do all their crazy talk.
2:41
But man, it just bugs the heck out of me.
2:45
Jody Lynn, do you have to throw a tie on?
2:48
I do not have to throw a tie on.
2:50
Collared shirt is required, but not a tie.
2:55
So,
2:56
but I did have a collared shirt on for
2:58
the meeting.
2:59
Yes.
3:01
I have a collared shirt on
3:02
for all meetings as
3:03
required by our dress code.
3:09
So,
3:12
This afternoon,
3:12
I'm finally getting a haircut.
3:14
I've not had a haircut in a while.
3:16
With everything that's
3:17
happened with moving my
3:18
daughter to Montana, with my mom's stroke,
3:20
with all of that,
3:21
haircut fell way down on the list.
3:24
This afternoon is going to be it.
3:26
I was driving in
3:27
Pennsylvania this weekend.
3:28
I don't even know if I can
3:29
pull it off here.
3:31
But I have so much stuff in
3:33
my hair to hold it.
3:36
So I'm driving in
3:36
Pennsylvania through the woods.
3:38
Took the back road from my
3:40
house to my wife's parents' house.
3:43
And look how long.
3:45
It's almost down to my eyes.
3:51
When I was, I had the windows down.
3:53
I'm going through the backwoods.
3:56
My hair is getting blown out
3:57
like a nineteen eighties feather job.
3:59
And then like my bangs were
4:01
hanging in my eyes.
4:03
It was crazy.
4:11
Same with every major police incident,
4:13
more time thanking than informing.
4:17
Amen.
4:17
Amen, brother.
4:19
So what's up, Eric?
4:20
What's up, Holly?
4:22
Yeah.
4:24
So getting a haircut this afternoon,
4:25
getting that all taken care of.
4:27
The other thing the haircut
4:28
does is when my haircut is really short,
4:32
it doesn't move a lot.
4:33
It's kind of the same,
4:34
whether I go to sleep,
4:35
whether or whatever.
4:37
So like this morning,
4:38
I got an eight AM first
4:39
thing in the morning, phone call,
4:41
had to get my hair done,
4:43
had to throw on the collared shirt,
4:45
all of that stuff.
4:46
When my hair's short,
4:49
I don't have to worry about
4:50
the hair part.
4:51
I just throw the shirt on, go to town.
4:56
So what's up Bubba?
4:59
Corporate America, got to love it.
5:01
Got to love it.
5:04
So, yeah.
5:05
And then the last thing,
5:06
just personal update,
5:07
is last night we made this
5:10
dinner and the recipe
5:12
called it French onion stew.
5:17
And basically what it turned
5:18
out to be was pot roast and
5:22
French onion soup mixed together.
5:26
It may be one of the best
5:27
things I've had to eat.
5:30
that we've cooked in ten
5:33
years the beef got super
5:37
tender um the carrots and
5:40
the potatoes and the onions
5:41
were so good and that broth
5:44
and we let it like simmer
5:46
for a couple hours and get
5:47
thick it was so freaking
5:49
good um if you're looking
5:52
for something interesting
5:54
look for that it is it's just like ah
6:01
Nicole says pot roast is a
6:02
family favorite.
6:03
We love pot roast.
6:05
This was a whole new level
6:06
of the pot roast.
6:08
And the French onion soup
6:09
broth with it was so good.
6:14
it, you know, cause that soup is a little,
6:16
just a little bit saltier and it,
6:18
and it bled into the beef
6:22
and the potatoes and the carrots.
6:24
It was, it was magnificent.
6:26
If you, if you want to try it,
6:28
look up the recipe.
6:29
It was super easy to make a
6:32
pretty quick prep time.
6:33
And then you just let it
6:33
simmer for a couple hours.
6:36
Um,
6:38
So, yeah.
6:40
If I think about it,
6:41
I'll grab the recipe and
6:42
I'll post it below in the description.
6:46
And you can come back and
6:47
check that out or I'll
6:48
bring it on tomorrow and
6:50
share it tomorrow.
6:52
But it was so good.
6:55
So good.
6:55
Highly recommend.
6:58
then the last thing about me
7:00
last night I finally
7:01
finished yellowstone the
7:02
series my wife and I don't
7:05
have the paramount network
7:07
channel so we couldn't
7:09
watch it live we had to
7:11
wait till it came to
7:12
peacock to stream it and
7:14
when the first part of the
7:15
last season came out we
7:17
decided to wait until the
7:18
second part came out to
7:20
watch it all at once we
7:22
finally got through with it last night
7:25
It's been an amazing series.
7:27
I felt like the last two ish
7:30
episodes were a little uneven.
7:33
Um, but I think with the Costner situation,
7:36
they had to try to figure
7:37
out the ending and,
7:40
and still kind of placate everybody.
7:43
So kind of ended a little
7:44
uneven at the end,
7:46
but it was a great show and
7:47
I'm glad I watched it.
7:49
I'm excited for a couple of the spinoffs.
7:53
Um,
7:55
And I think Casey was kind
7:56
of a forgotten character
7:57
for a lot of the last couple seasons.
8:00
And then when Costner wasn't on,
8:01
he came back and I
8:04
remembered why I love that character.
8:06
And I'm so glad that I got
8:10
to remember that part and
8:13
the Navy SEAL aspect of his
8:15
background that I want more of.
8:19
And apparently there's going
8:20
to be a spinoff kind of
8:21
heading in that direction.
8:26
So, yeah.
8:30
Eric Mackey,
8:32
got a little ho-hum in middle seasons,
8:33
but really appreciate how
8:34
they wrapped things up.
8:36
Hear you, though.
8:37
Yeah, I wouldn't disagree with you.
8:40
I think it started off really,
8:41
really great.
8:44
First three seasons, top-notch.
8:47
kind of faded a bit for me a
8:49
little bit um I thought
8:51
like the middle part of
8:53
this last season was really
8:54
good and then it kind of
8:56
trailed off as they were
8:58
trying to figure out how to
8:59
kind of wrap it all up they
9:00
it got it kind of
9:01
romanticized ranch life and
9:04
and the horses and the
9:06
animals and all of that
9:07
kind of thing and less
9:09
storytelling for a lot of the episodes
9:15
Eric asked if I've watched Landman yet.
9:17
I know you're newer to the show.
9:19
Landman was one of my
9:20
favorite shows of last season.
9:22
I cannot wait for season two.
9:25
I grew up in Western
9:26
Pennsylvania where
9:28
Pennsylvania graded crude was a big deal.
9:30
And I had oil derricks and
9:32
oil pumps in the woods
9:34
behind my parents' house growing up.
9:37
So I've lived through a form
9:39
of the oil industry.
9:42
And I found Landman fascinating.
9:46
Plus,
9:46
Billy Bob Thornton is hard to beat
9:48
when he is on his A-game.
9:50
And in Landman, he was on his A-game.
9:54
So, yeah.
9:56
All right.
9:57
That's all the fun little
9:58
stuff going on in my life.
10:00
And I wanted to talk a
10:02
little bit about what's
10:04
going on in the CrossFit space.
10:07
And the first thing of that
10:08
is I put out a poll,
10:12
which the majority of the
10:13
people who responded to the
10:14
poll on YouTube said that, yes,
10:17
that Tia is going to troll
10:18
us with her acceptance to
10:21
the CrossFit Games.
10:23
How long will that take?
10:26
And here is the leaderboard
10:31
for the twenty twenty five
10:32
CrossFit Games.
10:33
And it lists everybody who
10:35
has accepted their invitation.
10:37
So you see the people that
10:38
qualified this weekend are
10:40
already on the list.
10:41
Brooke Wells, Emily DeRoy,
10:43
Christina Latavaticus, Louisa Marques.
10:50
They are all on the list.
10:53
What you will find, though,
10:54
is someone who has not
10:56
accepted their invitation
10:58
is Tia Claire Toomey.
11:02
To be fair,
11:03
Lexi nearly got hers this weekend as well,
11:05
and you don't see her name
11:06
on there either.
11:07
But with the back and forth
11:09
on the retirement stuff and
11:13
the announcement, non-announcement,
11:15
I think people are waiting for this.
11:17
And if you watched...
11:19
The Week in Review,
11:21
Dave talked about how
11:23
CrossFit has given her a
11:25
deadline because if she does not accept,
11:28
they want to be able to
11:29
give a fair invite to the
11:32
next person on the Torian
11:33
list so that they can come
11:37
to the CrossFit Games and
11:40
that they have made that
11:41
person aware that they
11:42
should stay in shape and be ready.
11:53
So I just don't understand
11:58
the reasoning behind the
12:01
secrecy of is she retiring or not.
12:03
Why can't she just come out and say it?
12:06
I don't know what she's
12:07
accomplishing with all of
12:10
the delays and all of the trolling.
12:14
So just a little tidbit.
12:18
I know it's only been since the weekend.
12:20
We're only like four days
12:21
after her qualification.
12:23
But man,
12:24
if I made it to the CrossFit Games,
12:25
I would sign up.
12:27
And my intention was to go
12:28
to the CrossFit Games.
12:30
I would sign up immediately.
12:32
But then again, again, I think she's,
12:37
I agree, Jake.
12:40
I think Tia will be at the games.
12:42
It's hard to imagine the
12:43
games without her.
12:44
I do think she's going.
12:45
I just think it's part of
12:47
something in her that it's
12:48
got to be a mystery all the time.
12:51
But again,
12:51
Lexi Neely has not signed up either.
12:53
So I am trying to be fair.
12:57
But Lexi Neely didn't do a
12:58
video insinuating that she may retire,
13:01
may not retire.
13:04
And so that's why I wonder.
13:09
Jake, are you driving up to NorCal now?
13:11
Are you there?
13:12
What's going on, brother?
13:15
Haven't seen you in a while.
13:16
Good to see you in the chat.
13:20
Parbel spin, Tia who?
13:22
Tia Wright.
13:23
We're talking about Tia Wright spin.
13:25
So, yeah.
13:31
What's up, Ken?
13:34
The other thing I wanted to
13:35
throw out there today is
13:38
NorCal posted their workouts.
13:41
So I'm going to show those.
13:43
Hiller also put out a video,
13:46
kind of a behind-the-scenes
13:47
showing them developing the workouts.
13:52
So they are definitely not
13:56
your typical workouts.
14:05
Heavy Isabel leads it off.
14:09
And, of course,
14:11
my computer decides to do this.
14:15
Come on.
14:18
There we go.
14:21
Heavy Isabel is first.
14:25
Jake is about two hours out.
14:27
Have a safe trip, brother.
14:29
And we'll be watching.
14:30
Hopefully Alex gets her
14:31
ticket this weekend.
14:36
Event two is ring shuttle.
14:42
This one is thirty ring muscles for time.
14:46
Every third minute, including the zeros,
14:50
an athlete must do a buy-in
14:52
of suicide shuttle runs.
14:54
Each suicide shuttle will include a fifty,
14:56
seventy-five,
14:58
and one hundred foot distance.
15:01
Now, in the video of Hillers,
15:03
the people are running
15:04
forward and then running backward.
15:08
It does not indicate this on
15:10
this description,
15:11
but we'll see what happens here.
15:16
Oh,
15:16
and Spence says they are in different
15:18
orders for the men and the women.
15:25
And then you have to
15:26
accumulate thirty ring muscle-ups.
15:32
During this time.
15:37
We also have slow and go.
15:39
This is the truck pool for time.
15:42
It's a hundred foot truck pool for time.
15:45
And I believe it's a Gator truck.
15:49
They talked about a Gator
15:51
and I'm assuming it's one
15:52
of those like John Deere
15:54
Gator field trucks that
15:57
they drive out onto
15:59
professional sports fields.
16:06
Women do Isabel, then ring shuttle.
16:08
Men do ring shuttle, then Isabel.
16:11
Interesting.
16:16
So it's just they'll be
16:17
harnessed to a truck,
16:18
and there'll be a rope in front,
16:19
and they have to pull it a
16:21
hundred feet across the finish line.
16:29
The next one is Pump House.
16:33
It is a fifteen hundred meters biker,
16:35
forty five heavy double unders,
16:37
thirty reverse lunge wall balls.
16:40
Those are interesting.
16:42
Instead of a squat wall ball,
16:45
you catch the ball,
16:46
go down into a reverse lunge,
16:50
back up and the ball goes
16:51
up to the target.
16:53
There are there's video of
16:56
Rich Froning doing these in
16:57
Andrew Hiller's video.
16:58
If you want to check that out.
17:01
And then it's fifteen bar
17:02
muscle up plus pullover.
17:04
So you have to do a bar muscle up,
17:05
then do a pullover on the bar.
17:09
Fifteen reps of that.
17:10
Back to the reverse lunge.
17:12
Wall balls, heavy double unders,
17:14
and fifteen hundred meter bike erg.
17:21
Then we have farm, farmnastics.
17:25
This is fifty overhead squats,
17:27
two hundred and fifty foot
17:28
farmer's carry.
17:30
Ten handstand pirouettes,
17:32
two hundred fifty foot farmer's carry,
17:35
and then you're done.
17:40
So that is interesting,
17:42
the handstand pirouettes.
17:44
I did not see any video on that,
17:46
so I don't know if there's
17:47
a walk into the pirouette
17:48
or if it's just stand there and spin.
17:54
Oh, here it is.
17:55
for pirouettes athletes will
17:57
kick up outside a box
17:59
handstand walk into the box
18:00
and perform pirouette and
18:02
continue handstand walk
18:03
outside the box for the rep
18:05
to count so those are a
18:11
little bit different um and
18:17
then we have two k row just
18:21
a two hundred meter upon
18:23
completion of the two of that
18:25
Two hundred meter row for
18:26
time immediately upon
18:27
completion of the two
18:28
hundred meter row athletes
18:30
will begin a two mile run.
18:36
And that is.
18:39
Here you see the two hundred
18:40
meter row to run.
18:44
two thousand meter row sorry
18:47
sorry spin thanks for the
18:48
correction yeah been a
18:49
rough morning at work
18:50
already um athletes will be
18:52
getting a score for the two
18:53
thousand meter row split
18:55
and a score for the total
18:56
time to complete both
18:58
disciplines so the two
19:01
thousand meter row counts
19:03
twice and then we have hero
19:09
ball to finish it all up
19:13
Five legless rope climbs,
19:14
two box jump overs, five squat cleans,
19:18
two box jump overs,
19:20
three legless rope climbs,
19:21
two box jump overs, three squat cleans,
19:24
two box jump overs,
19:26
one legless rope climb.
19:33
Two box jump overs, one squat clean.
19:34
Okay.
19:35
And you can see the weights
19:36
on the clean go up.
19:38
Two seventy five, three fifteen,
19:40
three thirty five for the men.
19:42
One eighty five, two fifteen,
19:43
two thirty five for the women.
19:46
This is going to be interesting.
19:47
And the way they kind of
19:48
showed it on the board in
19:49
the Hiller video is it is
19:51
up and down the course.
19:54
Like you do the legless rope climb,
19:56
you'd go over the box, grab the barbell,
19:58
do the squat cleans back
20:00
over the box to get to the rope climb.
20:03
And it's back and forth down
20:04
the floor for the reps that are required.
20:10
So those are the workouts at NorCal.
20:14
As typical, they are not typical.
20:18
They like to be creative and
20:19
do things a little bit differently.
20:22
I highly recommend going and
20:23
watching the Hiller video.
20:25
It really kind of shows the
20:27
push and pull between...
20:30
um the event coordinators of
20:31
norcal and the mayhem crew
20:34
and mayhem really trying to
20:37
say we're not here to
20:38
create your um we're not
20:41
here to create your event
20:43
we're here as a consultant
20:45
um and like rich hates
20:47
pullovers but it's their
20:49
event he didn't try to take
20:50
it out of their event uh
20:53
but it's really interesting
20:54
to see them kind of come to
20:55
these conclusions on these
20:57
were on these workouts
21:04
Ken Walter says, man,
21:06
it would be awesome to be
21:07
as fit as you would need to
21:09
be to do any of these workouts RX.
21:13
Yeah.
21:15
Edging says, put your left foot in,
21:17
take your left foot out,
21:19
shake it all about.
21:20
Yeah.
21:21
It kind of gets that, feels that way.
21:24
Andrew Sten, that's dumb.
21:26
The events are in different order,
21:27
makes life more difficult
21:28
for the volunteers.
21:31
I think it's going to be interesting.
21:34
I know what you're saying, Andrew,
21:35
but if you've been to TFX,
21:38
they run one event at this
21:41
station and one event at that station.
21:44
Everybody kind of rotates through.
21:46
That's what the Masters
21:47
CrossFit Games did last year.
21:49
You had three floors.
21:51
One floor was a different event,
21:53
and they just rotated people through.
21:56
And not everybody did the
21:57
same order of the events,
22:01
but the floors then could
22:02
remain the same for the day
22:04
for each of the events.
22:08
So in some ways,
22:09
it's easier for the
22:10
volunteers because there's
22:11
less setup and teardown.
22:14
But it can get confusing.
22:18
And it gets confusing as a spectator,
22:19
like going to the
22:20
leaderboard and seeing like
22:22
things populated in one
22:23
area and not in another and
22:25
why and why they skipped this column.
22:27
But it's probably what they
22:30
had to do if you have what, what,
22:32
fifteen hundred athletes or
22:33
whatever they have competing there.
22:35
They just had to do it that way.
22:42
Shay says, we'll be cheering for Prevo.
22:45
Yes, we will be too.
22:49
Love seeing Hiller's video
22:50
of the programming.
22:50
I thought it was really good.
22:53
It gave you kind of some
22:54
insight into the thinking
22:56
and what wasn't working, what was working,
22:59
why they went the way they did,
23:01
what they were trying to accomplish.
23:05
And even in one spot, Rich talks about
23:09
how the test,
23:11
the one with the reverse lunge wall balls,
23:14
gave him a stimulus he
23:15
didn't even know or didn't
23:18
think of while planning it.
23:21
The unilateral direction of
23:23
the lunge actually messed
23:25
with his core and thoracic
23:29
spine more than he initially thought.
23:33
And it definitely had a
23:35
different effect than they
23:36
thought it would.
23:40
so so that those are the
23:42
workouts so let's look at
23:46
the contestants uh going
23:49
for their shot at the
23:51
crossfit games this is the
23:54
last in-person shot to get
23:57
the um two spots for the
23:59
men two spots for the women
24:01
we look at the people
24:03
competing this weekend
24:04
hopefully this is updated
24:06
we've got cj gerald colton mertens
24:10
Drake Lewis, Jorge Fernandez,
24:19
Matthias Porter, Matt Brady, Max Krieg,
24:23
Nate Ackerman, Phillip Muscarella,
24:28
Raphael Sanson, Spencer Pancheck,
24:33
Traven Benton, and William Leahy.
24:42
Um,
24:43
so I think the women's field is much
24:46
deeper than the men's.
24:49
Um, but my early pick to get their,
24:54
their tickets to the games
24:56
is Spencer and Nate Ackerman.
25:00
I think those two will get their tickets.
25:02
I do, however, think Colton will win.
25:06
But Colton already has his ticket,
25:07
so he's just there for the cash.
25:11
And I think he goes ahead and gets that.
25:15
I think he takes first.
25:17
I'm going to put Nate
25:18
Ackerman in second and
25:19
Spencer Pancheck in third.
25:25
Other people to look out for.
25:26
I think Max Krieg could have a good week.
25:33
So, yeah.
25:37
I thought at one point Seth
25:38
Stovall was coming.
25:40
I don't see his name on the
25:41
leaderboard anymore,
25:43
so I wonder if he withdrew.
25:47
Jorge Fernandez is probably
25:48
somebody to look out for.
25:50
I just think he's been a
25:51
little bit too uneven,
25:52
so I just don't know where to put him.
26:00
But I'm going with Spencer
26:01
and Nate Ackerman in reverse order.
26:07
the women's side we have
26:09
alex kazan we have allison
26:12
scuds ali zirki andreas
26:14
oberg ariel sanders bethany
26:17
flores caitlyn bernadin
26:21
carolyn privo chelsea
26:23
nicholas emily rathwell
26:26
emily rolf emily white
26:29
Heidi Cano, Carissa Stapp,
26:31
Caitlin Saunders, or Sanders,
26:34
Caitlin Sanders, I'm sorry.
26:36
Kristen Holta, Lindsay Lane, Miley Wade,
26:47
Rebecca Fusile, Sydney Wells,
26:50
Trista Smith.
26:59
So on the women's side,
27:00
I think that Alex Kazan is
27:03
clear and a part of the
27:04
favorite in this group.
27:06
So I will take her to go number one.
27:13
As it comes to the second spot,
27:24
I kind of want to say Kristen Holta.
27:30
I just think she's so good
27:31
at a lot of things and
27:33
she's athletic enough that
27:35
with these different style of events,
27:38
she can adapt pretty quick.
27:44
So I think that I'm going to
27:46
say my picks are Alex and Kristen Holta.
27:53
I do think I,
27:54
if Emily Rolfe were healthy and,
27:56
I think there's enough
27:57
events because it's more
27:59
than six that that would
28:01
help her with the heavy
28:02
Isabel aspect of things.
28:04
But I just don't know if
28:05
she's healthy enough.
28:07
I've talked with her,
28:08
but I have not pushed her
28:09
on any injury details.
28:13
And I'm not even sure she's
28:14
going to be there.
28:16
I do think that Rebecca
28:18
Fusilet has a shot.
28:20
Again, heavy Isabel is going to hurt her,
28:23
but there's a lot of
28:24
gymnastic stuff that she's
28:26
going to be very, very good at.
28:28
The pirouette thing, she will crush.
28:33
I think the ring muscle-up one,
28:35
she'll do really well at.
28:42
I'm going to say the second
28:43
spot is between Holta and Fusilet.
28:47
And man, Solberg too.
28:48
Solberg will be in that mix too.
28:51
She's such a great gymnast.
28:53
It's just that heavy Isabelle,
28:56
what impact does it do to the field?
29:01
But I do think Alex will crush it.
29:07
And quietly,
29:08
I think Chelsea Nicholas will
29:10
have a great heavy Isabelle.
29:19
Um, so yeah, I,
29:23
I would be surprised to see
29:24
Bethany there.
29:26
Uh,
29:26
she made a post yesterday about some
29:29
years you see incredible
29:31
things and other years you don't.
29:32
And this year she has not.
29:34
And so I, um,
29:39
So I just don't see her going.
29:41
And I'm not confident that
29:43
Emily Rolfe will be there.
29:45
I keep kind of watching to
29:48
see if I see anything
29:49
showing her getting there.
29:51
But we'll see.
29:58
Yes, Fuseli was at TFX.
30:01
Six to eight women playing
30:03
for that second game spot.
30:04
I don't disagree with that at all.
30:06
I think that Alex is the clear favorite.
30:10
I think the way she's
30:11
attacked the season has
30:12
been very smart so it'll be
30:14
fun to see what she does um
30:17
this weekend um with
30:20
everything there anxious
30:25
what do you guys think who
30:26
do you who do you think the
30:27
two spots are on the men
30:28
and the women's side this weekend
30:40
wonder why all the comps
30:41
rebecca chose this one or
30:42
is this the only one she
30:44
got an invite to yeah she
30:45
was at tfx I think she owns
30:53
a gym right like I think
30:55
her priority is she's a gym
30:57
owner and she's trying to
30:59
do uh everything kind of I don't know
31:05
Talking to like people like
31:06
Carolyn and Jamie,
31:08
like there's an expense to all this too.
31:09
Like you can't just,
31:11
there's not an unlimited
31:12
fund to go to as many comps
31:14
as you want to go to.
31:18
And so like you have to kind
31:19
of pick and choose your spots.
31:20
And a lot of times you don't
31:21
know the programming until you get there.
31:24
The fact that these people
31:25
didn't even know NorCal's
31:26
programming until today
31:28
makes it hard to make those decisions.
31:34
What I find really crazy is, you know,
31:37
at the beginning of the season,
31:38
NorCal was very adamant about, like,
31:41
if you want to do this,
31:42
you need to do the
31:42
qualifier so that you are in the mix.
31:45
And then last minute say, hey,
31:46
we're going to throw out
31:47
invites if you didn't get
31:48
your ticket anywhere else
31:50
because they want to sell
31:51
tickets to the event.
31:52
But it's not really fair for
31:54
people who planned.
31:56
did the qualifiers, got in the legit way,
32:00
and now we're kind of being
32:01
pushed off to the side for
32:03
all the people who didn't
32:04
get their tickets and want
32:05
another opportunity.
32:08
It's great for the fans
32:09
because you get to kind of
32:10
see this exciting moment,
32:13
but it's really hard.
32:17
It's back to the point of a
32:19
very complex season.
32:21
It's hard to explain to people.
32:25
It just doesn't make a lot of sense.
32:40
Train to live.
32:41
I think Carolyn will do well
32:42
in the events now that we
32:43
know what they are.
32:44
I think she'll do well in a
32:45
lot of these events.
32:48
My fear for Carolyn is heavy Isabel.
32:54
The other thing is there are
32:55
some big-time gymnastics
32:58
specialists in this field
33:00
that are going to be really
33:01
good at some of the gymnastics pieces.
33:04
I know because of her athletic ability,
33:06
she's going to be able to
33:06
adapt to all of their
33:08
strange stuff really quickly.
33:10
And I want her to get the spot.
33:16
I want her to get the spot.
33:17
I just...
33:21
And I think she has a legit
33:22
chance because of what you said.
33:25
It's that heavy Isabel and
33:26
then the heavy clean on the
33:29
box over one with the
33:31
legless rope climbs.
33:34
Those are the two.
33:35
If she can do damage control
33:38
on heavy Isabel and those
33:41
cleans are okay with her.
33:42
And I think she's good at
33:43
just straight cleans.
33:46
They're just really heavy at the end.
33:48
It's going to be how smart
33:49
she attacks those and
33:51
drills those at the end.
33:55
I think that's legit, dude.
34:00
I would absolutely love to
34:10
see Big Becca return to the games.
34:11
I think we all would.
34:13
She's just a phenomenal person.
34:23
Eric Mackey CrossFit will
34:24
change again next year,
34:25
but agree should have been
34:26
limited to two planned events.
34:29
I think it became obvious in
34:30
the weekend review that
34:31
Dave likes the idea of
34:33
pushing the in affiliate
34:34
semifinal to the end of
34:37
this part of the season.
34:39
That just makes sense.
34:41
That way,
34:42
then everybody goes to their
34:43
in-person event, makes their shot,
34:46
takes their shot,
34:48
and then you have the
34:49
in-person or in-affiliate
34:50
semifinal be the last
34:52
chance qualifier for
34:54
however many spots are left.
34:56
That just makes the most sense.
34:58
And it seemed that Dave
35:00
seemed to concede to that
35:02
during his weekend review.
35:11
Wish these spots,
35:12
comps had more qualifying spots.
35:15
I don't disagree either.
35:16
And I think that that was
35:17
actually something that
35:19
Dave seemed to concede to
35:20
in his week in review as well.
35:23
So maybe like some of these
35:26
comps get three spots and
35:30
so the whole podium goes
35:32
and then the in affiliate
35:33
gets like five last chance
35:35
qualifier spots.
35:36
Something like that makes sense.
35:44
Based on the field,
35:45
I think Carolyn will be
35:46
higher middle of the pack on Isabel.
35:49
Yeah,
35:49
I think there are more gymnastics
35:51
specialists in this field
35:53
than there are strength specialists.
35:59
So, yeah,
36:01
that is definitely a possibility.
36:12
Okay.
36:15
Shay has her fingers crossed.
36:18
Wonder if they'll go back to
36:19
forty athletes next year.
36:20
I don't think so.
36:21
I think there's something
36:22
that Dave likes about the
36:23
thirty athletes and the way
36:25
he can program the games
36:27
and schedule the games.
36:30
And I think that's the key to it.
36:31
It's how much time do heats
36:34
take at the games to be
36:36
able to manipulate and move
36:37
them around to have so many events.
36:46
Bubba says it's going to be
36:47
a hot bloodbath this weekend.
36:50
Yeah, I think Spin posted the forecast.
36:52
It looks brutal.
36:54
I know like yesterday here in Columbus,
36:56
Ohio was eighty seven and it was hot.
37:01
It was it was the hottest
37:02
day we've had this year and
37:05
it was brutally hot.
37:07
So I think it's like upper
37:09
nineties forecasted for the weekend.
37:13
Now, I know they moved to Sacramento.
37:15
Are they still outside,
37:18
or are they going to be inside as well?
37:26
I wouldn't be surprised if
37:27
after day one we see withdrawals.
37:32
T. Kane,
37:33
Solberg should do well on these
37:35
workouts too.
37:36
I agree.
37:38
There are so many gymnastic specialists.
37:44
Yeah.
37:45
Plus,
37:47
there's something that Rich talks
37:48
about in the Hiller video
37:50
about the overall endurance
37:51
of doing these seven events
37:53
over three days in ninety degree heat.
37:58
That takes some endurance.
38:02
And there are two people in
38:03
this field that are amazing
38:05
endurance athletes.
38:07
And the amazing endurance
38:08
athletes are Carissa Stapp
38:11
and Caitlin Bernadine.
38:16
Is that her name?
38:17
I think it's Bernadine.
38:19
If you remember,
38:20
Caitlin was the one who
38:22
opened West Coast Classic
38:23
last year with the win on the run.
38:26
So, yeah.
38:36
Meredith says,
38:37
I thought the entire thing was outside.
38:38
Not sure.
38:39
I know in the past it was.
38:40
And it's someone,
38:42
Clock is telling me
38:44
Discovery Park has no structures.
38:46
It's a completely open air park.
38:47
So there's our answer.
38:49
It's definitely going to be outside.
38:53
Ken says, Minnesota,
38:54
the last two days have been
38:55
absolutely picture perfect.
38:57
I don't doubt it.
38:59
Because if it was that hot in Columbus,
39:00
you guys were getting that nice,
39:02
like low eighties, high seventies.
39:09
um shea says also nice new
39:13
thumbnail now I want a
39:15
steak well the funny thing
39:17
and I'm glad he's in the
39:18
chat that steak is for ken
39:20
walters because every time
39:22
we come on this show he
39:23
talks about going to get his ribeye
39:26
And so I thought,
39:27
if I'm going to make a
39:28
thumbnail about the lunch show,
39:30
I've got to pay a tribute
39:33
to Ken Walters and put a
39:35
nice juicy steak on the
39:37
thumbnail to come in for
39:39
lunch with the Clydesdale.
39:41
And that represents Ken
39:42
Walters' ribeye that he has
39:45
to go get after every show.
39:49
So that's for you, buddy.
39:55
Is Emily Rall for sure competing?
39:56
Do we know?
39:57
We don't know.
40:01
Again,
40:02
I've talked to her a little bit over
40:04
the last couple weeks,
40:06
but I have not pressed on
40:08
anything like that.
40:15
Jody Lynn,
40:16
I've been cooking my ribeyes in
40:17
the air fryer so good.
40:21
Yeah.
40:22
I've never...
40:24
I've always been a grill my steak guy.
40:26
I've never done it in the air fryer.
40:28
So that's something I need
40:29
to tackle in the future and
40:32
just see how I like it.
40:37
So my smoker grill is in the
40:39
garage and I always just
40:40
kind of roll it out into
40:41
the driveway and do my thing.
40:47
I need a new one of those.
40:49
I need a new one.
40:52
And my daughter works for this new company,
40:54
and she gets an employee discount,
40:55
and they do sell smokers and grills.
41:00
So maybe I can get the hookup.
41:08
I can.
41:08
Dude,
41:09
I'm actually outside eating my ribeye
41:10
and avocado and sweet potatoes right now.
41:13
See?
41:14
It's all for you, brother.
41:15
All for you.
41:18
Air fryer steak is surprisingly good.
41:21
I love a lot of things in the air fryer.
41:23
That's got to be one of the
41:23
best inventions of the last
41:25
ten years is the air fryer.
41:32
Jody Lynn,
41:33
I just started this a month ago.
41:35
The air fryer was just
41:36
sitting there collecting dust.
41:39
Yeah, so we bought a new oven, oh gosh,
41:42
maybe five, six years ago.
41:45
And the oven comes with an air fryer mode.
41:49
So we just had to buy like
41:51
these special trays to put the food on.
41:55
And then you set the oven to
41:56
air fryer and it just air
41:59
fries inside the oven like
42:01
you're baking something.
42:03
So we don't have one like on
42:05
the counter anymore.
42:07
And, um, and it's been amazing.
42:11
Although I think there is a
42:12
convenience to that because
42:13
we used to have the one on the, on the,
42:15
on the countertop.
42:17
There's something convenient
42:18
about just dumping stuff in it,
42:19
sliding it in, hitting the button.
42:22
I don't know.
42:23
It's weird.
42:25
So, but yeah, so we,
42:27
we have the air fryer in
42:28
the oven and that's how we,
42:29
we use it anyway.
42:36
Air fryers make me feel like
42:37
the food never got hot
42:38
enough to get cooked all the way through.
42:42
I'll tell you what, my air fryer,
42:43
my oven is so freaking hot.
42:45
If you don't keep an eye on it,
42:47
your stuff is burnt in like
42:50
seven minutes.
42:53
It's insane.
42:57
Yeah, Father's Day is coming up.
42:59
Daughter that I moved and
43:02
financed moving to Montana.
43:05
You hear that Father's Day is coming.
43:11
There's your next top five list.
43:12
Best inventions.
43:14
Yeah.
43:16
Best inventions in the last ten years.
43:17
Something like that.
43:18
Because, man,
43:18
we've had a lot of inventions
43:21
over time for sure.
43:24
uh clock discovery park is
43:26
cool it sits at the
43:28
confluence of this of the
43:29
sacramento and american
43:30
rivers and just across from
43:32
old town sacramento the hub
43:34
for the gold rush and the
43:36
pacific railroad and there
43:38
is your history for today
43:41
thank you clock yeah
43:47
hopefully it's a great event um
43:50
know I always want I like
43:51
watching the behind the
43:52
scenes that we got the last
43:53
couple years hopefully we
43:55
can get a good live
43:56
broadcast from the team
43:58
being out in the park
44:00
that's going to have a
44:01
whole other level of
44:02
problems to it I promise to
44:06
give them more grace this
44:07
week than I did last week
44:09
um knowing they are down
44:12
some people and knowing
44:13
they're going to be outside
44:14
and knowing they have
44:15
multiple floors to broadcast on
44:18
Um,
44:19
so I'll go into it with the thought
44:20
process that probably not
44:22
going to get everything.
44:24
Um, but we'll see.
44:29
These are definitely some fun,
44:30
different workouts.
44:32
It's going to be interesting
44:33
to see how either these
44:35
athletes attack them and
44:37
take them on or they get
44:39
wrapped up and beat up
44:41
inside these workouts.
44:48
I'm going to leave you with this.

Before the show, Corey and I were talking,
45:25
and he just got off an Alaskan cruise.

45:30
the movie The Proposal.
45:33
He said he's never seen The Proposal.
