Lunch with the Clydesdale - Starting Off the Week, Digging Out for Time · Clydesdale Media Podcast

0:04
We weren't supposed to be here today,
0:05
but we are.
0:07
So let's get at it.
0:19
I love the chase and the hunt.
0:20
And I set the pace when I'm running.
0:22
I always take what I want.
0:23
And I always give it one hundred.
0:25
Don't need a bank.
0:26
No, I'm funded.
0:26
Play the game like it's nothing.
0:28
I'm always thankful for something.
0:29
Don't take for granted.
0:30
Stay humble.
0:31
Now wake up.
0:32
It's time to look at the enemy.
0:35
Look in the mirror.
0:36
If he is no friend to me,
0:38
it's not working out.
0:39
Maybe it's the chemistry.
0:40
It's time to break up.
0:41
So I can make a better me.
0:43
Yeah, we're done.
0:48
It's lunchtime.
0:51
What is going on, everybody?
0:53
It's lunchtime with the Clydesdale.
0:54
We are back for another week.
0:57
I was supposed to be having a biopsy
0:59
today on my lung,
1:01
but because of the fifteen inches of snow
1:05
that got called off and now we get
1:07
to hang out with you guys today at
1:09
lunch and I got to go into work
1:11
today.
1:13
Uh,
1:14
what's awesome is something that I never
1:16
thought would happen is the governor
1:18
actually said, Hey,
1:21
everybody work from home.
1:23
I know I get to work from home
1:24
every day,
1:25
but a lot of my coworkers do not.
1:27
And so the fact that he allowed as
1:30
many people as possible to work from home
1:32
and not have to drive in this.
1:35
mess that's out there right now was really
1:38
cool.
1:39
So we're all kind of working from home
1:41
today and trying to get stuff done.
1:45
The biopsy for me is rescheduled most
1:49
likely two weeks from today.
1:52
I still have the sinus surgery this week
1:55
on Thursday.
1:57
And then I will probably recover over the
2:02
weekend.
2:03
And then I get all of the bandages
2:05
kind of pulled out on Monday.
2:09
And then hopefully we can be back Monday
2:11
doing shows again.
2:13
So, probably no show Thursday, Friday,
2:17
and Monday, the next few days.
2:23
And then the Sunday night show,
2:26
trying to figure out something there.
2:28
Because the next two Sundays,
2:29
I'll still have my nose pacted for this
2:32
Sunday.
2:33
And then the Super Bowl is the next
2:34
Sunday.
2:35
So,
2:35
we're trying to figure out how to schedule
2:37
this.
2:38
Maybe do one show in between the two
2:40
Sundays.
2:43
I don't know.
2:43
We're trying to figure that out.
2:45
Thank goodness.
2:46
We're not like the open hasn't started
2:48
yet.
2:48
And we, we have some flexibility there.
2:50
So of course there's no frozen biopsy for
2:56
Scott.
2:56
Yeah.
2:57
I'll be honest.
2:58
Like I'm,
3:00
I just was worried about my wife dealing
3:04
with the traffic and the snow and all
3:06
that kind of stuff because I won't be
3:08
allowed to drive after the biopsy.
3:10
And the place we go is like an
3:13
hour and fifteen minutes away to have this
3:16
done.
3:17
And so I was really worried for her
3:19
having to drive on all this stuff.
3:22
So it's kind of good that we got
3:24
postponed and hopefully better weather in
3:26
two weeks to make this happen.
3:30
But I need to have this stuff diagnosed
3:34
so that we can start treatment and get
3:36
back at it.
3:38
I mean,
3:38
I signed up for the open and I
3:40
want to be able to do it as
3:42
much as possible.
3:44
So that should be, that's my goal.
3:48
That's my goal.
3:49
Get through all that stuff and at least
3:51
be able to do the open.
3:56
So what's going on with you guys, man?
4:00
I know a lot of the country got
4:02
weather that they did not expect.
4:05
I hope everybody is digging out from that.
4:08
Yeah.
4:11
I want to thank my sponsor, Thirdsy.
4:14
Make sure you go to thirdsy.com backslash
4:17

4:18
If you want the best recovery tool and
4:20
sleep aid in the business, no melatonin,
4:24

4:28
helps you sleep.
4:30
uh yeah good stuff code jazzy at checkout
4:35
um so super super stoked about that go
4:38
use them uh use that code and get
4:40
fifteen percent off your order uh keeping
4:46
it real hopefully mike mccarthy is digging
4:47
out and unsuccessful all right um
4:52
I want to talk about this because I've
4:53
been talking to Grant through DMs.
4:56
Let's just talk about it right here now.
4:58
I think Steeler fans are spoiled.
5:00
Steeler fans don't realize when they have
5:02
a good thing.
5:04
Is Mike McCarthy the flashy big hire that
5:08
the Steelers wanted?
5:09
No.
5:10
But is he consistent?
5:11
Does he win?
5:12
Yes.
5:13
Is he a good offensive mind?
5:15
Yes.
5:16
Is that something the Steelers have ever
5:17
had?
5:18
No.
5:19
He's the coach that beat them in the
5:21
last Super Bowl,
5:22
and yet you're saying that he's not good
5:24
enough when he beat you the last time
5:27
you were in the Super Bowl.
5:29
So...
5:31
I find it weird because he took a
5:34
young Dak Prescott and he developed him.
5:37
He took a young Aaron Rodgers and
5:39
developed him.
5:40
Those are two really good quarterbacks.
5:42
And the Steelers have not had a
5:43
quarterback since Ben Roethlisberger
5:45
retired.
5:45
So you spoiled Steeler fans.
5:48
Suck it up.
5:48
This guy's actually pretty good.
5:50
And he's probably the right hire for right
5:52
now.
5:53
The days of hiring coaches for twenty
5:55
years were the past.
5:57
They're not now.
6:00
you just have to be patient and sealer
6:03
fans are not, they want to win now,
6:05
but you have not won a super bowl
6:06
in a very, very long time.
6:09
And so you got to do it.
6:11
You got to do it.
6:19
Work from home.
6:20
Kate Curry or is WF work from home
6:24
today as well.
6:25
Gyms were closed.
6:26
So zone two biking and rowing at home
6:28
this morning.
6:29
Yeah,
6:30
I think most of the gyms were closed
6:31
here.
6:32
I think we might have still been under
6:34
a level three snow emergency this morning,
6:37
which you get arrested if you're on the
6:39
road.
6:47
Vicky, it's okay that you're late.
6:49
We don't care.
6:50
Come whenever you can.
6:52
We don't make you do a burpee penalty
6:54
or anything like that.
6:59
Uh, Corey, uh, says to Kate,
7:01
it was cold and windy enough for me
7:03
to skip my morning sessions of rowing
7:04
intervals.
7:05
Corey, what?
7:13
Uh, Kenneth, the lap arrested.
7:14
Yes.
7:15
When it's a level three snow emergency in
7:18
Ohio,
7:18
you are not allowed to be on the
7:20
road.
7:21
Um,
7:23
From what I saw on the news last
7:24
night, they made it a level two,
7:26
which means you were discouraged from
7:28
being on the road,
7:29
but people were getting in the way of
7:30
the plows being able to get jobs done.
7:33
So they made it a level three,
7:34
so everybody had to be off the roads.
7:36
And the reason they do that is so
7:38
plows can fly through, get stuff done,
7:41
get the roads cleared,
7:43
but you are not allowed to be on
7:45
the road unless you are an essential
7:47
employee
7:48
of a business.
7:50
And like,
7:50
I used to be one for the state.
7:52
And so, uh,
7:54
they gave me a card and it,
7:56
and if I would get pulled over on
7:57
a level three,
7:58
it says I have permission to be on
8:01
the roads to get to work.
8:02
Cause I'm an essential employee.
8:04
And so like hospital workers get that, um,
8:07
stuff like that.
8:08
So it is, yeah,
8:09
they're very strict here in Ohio.
8:11
When you get like like we did yesterday,
8:14
you just can't have people blocking stuff
8:17
from getting done.
8:24
Jonathan said F to the gym at six
8:26
a.m.
8:29
Yeah, I would add,
8:31
there's no way I could have got out.
8:33
They did not plow our roads at all.
8:36
The only way I could get out now
8:38
is because a garbage truck came at about
8:39
nine to pick up garbage and pack down
8:42
some of the snow.
8:44
So I could have done that.
8:45
Corey said, no heat in the gym.
8:47
I would have been dragging ass just trying
8:49
to get warm.
8:50
We'll make it up later this week.
8:52
I'm just giving you a hard time, man.
8:54
Sometimes stuff happens.
8:55
Like you just have to deal with it,
8:58
right?
9:02
Corey, I feel you.
9:03
I have two space eaters running in my
9:04
garage right now so I can get my
9:06
workout in this afternoon.
9:10
Yeah.
9:13
I actually, Vicky,
9:14
bought a propane heater.
9:16
You just kind of like the propane tank
9:18
you get for your grill.
9:20
You plug it onto there and it has
9:22
like a bracket to hold it in place.
9:24
But man, that thing gets hot.
9:26
My garage heats up in twenty minutes.
9:29
Twenty minutes.
9:30
And you can get probably a couple hours
9:34
out of a tank.
9:37
It's pretty sweet.
9:38
now like tomorrow we're like most of this
9:41
week we're going to be in the negative
9:42
temperatures probably not going to cut
9:44
much of that but if it's like twenty
9:48
twenty five something like that and you
9:49
have this propane heater it'll it heats my
9:52
garage up to where I'm sweating um
9:56
Yeah,
9:58
it looks like a big glowing orange eye,
10:00
just a round heating element that the
10:03
propane goes through.
10:04
And it's pretty awesome.
10:08
My wife got it for me for my
10:09
birthday one year.
10:10
It is a game changer in the garage.
10:14
Game changer completely.
10:18
Mark Phillips says,
10:19
how are the fumes on that?
10:21
So what I do, Mark,
10:22
is I open my garage a little bit,
10:25
maybe like four to five inches on the
10:27
bottom.
10:28
That's where I put the propane tank and
10:30
it blows into the garage.
10:32
So it kind of fumes out there.
10:34
Plus,
10:35
I don't have a finished ceiling in my
10:37
garage.
10:39
So the fumes will go out through the
10:43
eaves anyway.
10:45
So I'm pretty safe in that regard.
10:52
um does it clip onto a twenty ounce
10:55
bottle i do not believe so a twenty
10:57
pound bottle i don't know what a twenty
10:59
pound bottle is uh jay birch um yeah
11:06
i it's like a like the normal size
11:08
propane tank that you put on a grill
11:15
um kenneth says keep your rowers in the
11:18
house like prevo there you go yeah
11:23
Sometimes I bring my assault bike down
11:26
into the podcast area.
11:28
I put it right over there,
11:30
and I'll do that.
11:38
Normal propane bottle.
11:39
Yeah, just clips on where the top is,
11:42
where you cut the handle to carry it.
11:44
There's a bracket that goes through the
11:46
holes there to keep it steady,
11:48
and then it just screws on to the
11:50
valve.
11:53
Yeah, it's great.
11:58
Corey doesn't own a rower.
12:07
Kate says, that's where mine are.
12:08
Bike erg is basically in my dining room.
12:11
Rower is in my living room.
12:14
That is dedication, Kate.
12:16
Big time dedication.
12:20
So fun stuff.
12:21
Like, so all this stuff,
12:23
you masters athletes that are really
12:25
getting after it.
12:28
That's awesome that you're trying to work
12:30
out in this weather.
12:33
But what kind of momentum do you think
12:34
we're getting for the open?
12:36
You know,
12:37
the numbers are out there that this is
12:39
a pretty good year since the first good
12:41
year since twenty twenty two.
12:43
We're heading in the right direction.
12:45
We talked last night about a lot of
12:47
people giving away open registrations.
12:51
Vicky has been giving away some.
12:52
Larry Young gave away like a shit ton
12:56
of registrations.
12:58
of registrations, all of that stuff,
13:01
I think there's really a push from the
13:03
community to get the stuff out there as
13:06
much as possible.
13:08
And I think we have this group of
13:10
athletes that are really trying to get
13:13
people to sign up for the Open.
13:15
And I saw this cool little reel today
13:18
I just wanted to share with you.
13:19
I thought it was funny.
13:21
And it's the old pass the phone trend,
13:23
if you didn't see it.
13:26
And so here is the boys interrupted and
13:30
the pass the phone trend.
13:32
I'm passing the phone to someone that has
13:34
the biggest hype in all the CrossFit Games
13:36
media,
13:36
but has never done a single thing to
13:38
back it up since the Teenage Division.
13:40
All right,
13:40
I'm passing the phone to someone who built
13:42
their legacy in
13:43
four years ago and hasn't done anything
13:45
since all right i'm passing the phone to
13:47
someone that has a bigger ego than the
13:48
check you want at the crossfit games i'm
13:51
passing the phone to somebody who does
13:52
grace better without clothes on dang that
13:55
was brutal we're passing the phone to
13:58
somebody who everybody wanted fired but
14:00
somehow still here hi i'm dave castro
14:03
director of the crossfit games so i
14:08
thought that was pretty cool especially
14:09
that they got dave to participate um
14:13
They're doing so much with CrossFit right
14:15
now, promoting it,
14:17
getting the word out there.
14:20
I think it's a really cool video.
14:22
And the fact that Dave participated with
14:27
the whole, hey,
14:28
we're passing the phone to someone who
14:29
everybody wanted fired, but is still here,
14:32
was pretty savage at the end,
14:34
as Jody said.
14:37
So really, really funny stuff.
14:40
What these guys are doing with CrossFit
14:42
right now to come to the ranch to
14:44
do the workouts this weekend with the
14:46
throwdown being open to like do anything
14:48
in the moment.
14:50
And then the fact that Matt Souza and
14:53
the Sevan podcast came out there with
14:55
their equipment to be able to live stream
14:57
it was a huge win for the CrossFit
15:01
community and the open.
15:05
And as much as that's a win and
15:06
as much as we need to do that,
15:08
and as much as we need to reach
15:09
back into the nostalgia of doing workouts
15:12
at the ranch and workouts that we've seen
15:14
before and workouts that we're connected
15:16
to, um,
15:20
We also need to reach out to people
15:22
that haven't done this stuff before.
15:25
And that's where the people like Vicky and
15:27
Larry Young and Jonathan Ortega,
15:31
who are buying these packages of open
15:33
registrations and giving them to people to
15:37
not have an excuse not to sign up.
15:41
That is as much,
15:43
that is as important as,
15:46
as what Dallin, James, Jason,
15:50
and Justin are doing.
15:52
Yeah, they're the big names,
15:54
but they're big names inside the space.
15:57
What Vicky and Larry and Jonathan are
15:59
doing are reaching out to people who may
16:02
have never done the open before and
16:04
bringing in new people who have never done
16:06
it.
16:07
That is the stuff that's going to change
16:10
things around.
16:11
The more people do that,
16:13
the better off we're going to be.
16:16
I mean,
16:16
Jenny gave away three bundles this morning
16:19
that were the shirt, the judge's course,
16:21
and an open registration on her show.
16:24
Three of them.
16:26
I mean, that's what is it?
16:27
I think it's like a sixty five dollar
16:29
value that she gave away to three people
16:32
on her show.
16:42
Scott,
16:43
is that a picture of you and TDC
16:44
over your left shoulder on the far bottom?
16:46
It is not.
16:48
I have a couple pictures with Dave.
16:50
That is not one of them.
16:56
So... This is what was asked for,
17:04
involvement of the athletes.
17:05
Yeah,
17:05
I think the athlete involvement is
17:07
awesome.
17:08
I think it is awesome.
17:10
But what they're doing...
17:13
Um,
17:15
What they're doing is good inside the
17:17
bubble of who we are.
17:19
You all that come into these CrossFit
17:21
chats,
17:22
you all that watch all the podcasts,
17:24
you all that watch the streams.
17:27
But I'm not sure any of these athletes
17:29
are getting outside that bubble.
17:31
Now,
17:31
Jason just did a podcast with Cam Haines,
17:34
just came out a few hours ago.
17:36
That's a start in that direction.
17:38
And if he promotes the Open,
17:39
promotes the game season,
17:41
promotes all that stuff,
17:42
then that is a step outside the bubble.
17:45
However, all the stuff done at the ranch,
17:48
those are the people that watch it anyway.
17:52
I want to give kudos to the people
17:54
that are reaching out beyond that bubble.
17:56
The Vickys, the Larry Youngs,
17:59
the Jonathan Ortegas,
18:00
the people that are buying these packages
18:02
and doing that.
18:04
That is what is really, really cool.
18:11
Uh, it's not Carolyn either.
18:13
If I say who it is,
18:14
you're going to be disappointed.
18:17
Um, yeah, Mark,
18:19
I know below what looks like the breaking
18:22
bad Lego RV that is the breaking bad
18:24
Lego RV.
18:25
Uh, and I know it's the picture.
18:27
I know what you're talking about.
18:29
You're talking about, uh,
18:30
that right there.
18:35
So, um,
18:38
It's Tommy Marquez.
18:40
I worked with Tommy at Morning Chalk Up.
18:42
It's back when we were doing stuff back
18:44
then.
18:46
I always had good experiences with Tommy.
18:48
I know he's kind of turned his back
18:50
on CrossFit in the past couple years.
18:53
So that's why I didn't mention it.
18:55
But we worked together at Morning Chalk
18:57
Up.
18:58
There were only two people at Morning
18:59
Chalk Up that supported me or even
19:02
acknowledged that I was a person there.
19:05
And it was him and it was Brian
19:08
Friend.
19:09
And both of them are on the outs
19:10
with CrossFit right now.
19:12
But they were the only two people that
19:13
treated me like a human being at Morning
19:15
Chalk Up.
19:20
Okay.
19:23
Rich and Jason worked with Cam,
19:24
definitely reaches outside the bubble,
19:25
just maybe not in open participation.
19:28
Yes, Rich and Jason both worked with Cam,
19:30
but after they retired.
19:32
And so it doesn't have the same effect
19:35
as the CrossFit Games champion working
19:37
with Cam.
19:41
And so that's where it's different.
19:44
Jason going on with Cam as the current
19:48
and reigning CrossFit Games champion is...
19:53
really really cool where rich and jason
19:56
did it in their retirement so they weren't
19:58
actively participating in everything so it
20:00
doesn't have the same effect but jason is
20:03
the current champ and he goes and he
20:05
does all the stuff with cam
20:07
All the stuff.
20:09
And I can't wait to watch it.
20:10
I hope that he really does use that
20:13
as a platform to push CrossFit forward.
20:16
That's the problem.
20:17
You get someone like Matt Fraser on Joe
20:19
Rogan where he's with this big audience
20:22
and he does nothing to pay back the
20:26
thing that got him the success he had.
20:31
So.
20:33
Joseph says,
20:34
clearly that's a National Lampoon's RV.
20:36
It is not.
20:37
It is the Breaking Bad mobile meth lab.
20:47
They should pay it forward by someone on
20:49
the fence at their gym or registration.
20:51
Yeah,
20:51
so many people are doing that this year.
20:54
So many people.
20:57
And I've mentioned just three of them that
20:58
I know of in this chat.
21:02
And I'm going to get a link,
21:04
and I'm going to buy some open
21:05
registrations,
21:05
and I'm going to give them away on
21:07
this show.
21:07
If you are not doing the open,
21:10
and the reason why is because you don't
21:11
want to pay for it,
21:12
we're going to do something on this show
21:15
to do that as well.
21:17
I want to pay it forward just like
21:18
everybody else did.
21:24
Okay.
21:29
Jody says, that's great.
21:30
I've got you on my big screen TV,
21:32
so I'm checking out all your stuff.
21:34
Yeah, there's a lot of stuff back there.
21:36
A lot of stuff back there, Jody.
21:45
Jake says,
21:45
do you think they do the thing that
21:50
made them famous?
21:54
I don't understand the question.
21:56
I'm willing to answer.
21:57
I just don't really know what you're
21:58
getting at, Jake.
22:04
Who wants to be on the five AM
22:05
squat club custom leaderboard?
22:07
Yeah, we've got one for this show too.
22:10
Hashtag Clydesdale out there.
22:12
If you want to be on that,
22:18
you can do multiple.
22:20
Just saying.
22:27
So I think we're going in the right
22:29
direction with the open.
22:30
I think we're getting some push.
22:32
I think people were signing up earlier,
22:35
but you still have all of the people
22:36
that are going to wait until that final
22:38
weekend to sign up.
22:40
I hope it goes up.
22:42
It would be a great sign for CrossFit
22:45
as a whole for that open registrations to
22:47
go up.
22:49
whether it be by twenty or whether it
22:51
be by two hundred thousand.
22:54
We just have to get the trend away
22:57
from going down and on the trajectory of
23:00
going back up.
23:03
And by introducing people to the open,
23:05
by paying for their registration and
23:08
getting them to sign up,
23:10
that is a way for people to experience
23:12
the stuff that we have loved for ten
23:14
years.
23:18
I mean,
23:18
this is my thirteenth CrossFit Open.
23:21
If I wouldn't have skipped twenty twenty
23:22
four, it would have been my fourteenth.
23:27
So.
23:31
I don't think the likes of Matt and
23:32
Jason owe affiliates anything because they
23:34
didn't represent the affiliates.
23:36
They're athletes who train alone.
23:40
I I don't I see what you're saying,
23:42
Jake.
23:42
I see what you're saying.
23:44
especially with Matt,
23:45
but I think Jason did start out at
23:47
an affiliate.
23:48
I think he started out at crash and
23:50
then as he got better,
23:52
then he started training alone,
23:53
but he still hangs out at crash.
23:55
He still does things there.
23:59
And at least that's more of,
24:00
and with Dallin going back to Utah and
24:03
him training out,
24:04
training across the brute people have been
24:07
connected to an affiliate and
24:10
Um,
24:10
the people that have worked out with
24:11
Torres have worked out in an affiliate.
24:14
They did it in Jacksonville.
24:15
They did it at CrossFit Naples.
24:17
Now Dallin's doing it at CrossFit Nebo.
24:20
Uh,
24:20
James is doing it at mode CrossFit in,
24:24
uh, I think Utah as well.
24:27
Um,
24:28
so some of these guys are actually
24:30
connected to affiliates.
24:32
Yeah.
24:32
They may work out alone.
24:33
Yeah.
24:34
They may do some stuff alone,
24:35
but at least they're connected to an
24:37
affiliate and
24:39
And, and they work out at that affiliate.
24:41
And James talks about like guys that he
24:42
works out with from that affiliate.
24:48
So.
24:51
RX for time.
24:52
My thirteenth open too.
24:53
Yeah.
24:55
There's a lot of people at that thirteen.
24:56
Carolyn Prevo.
24:57
This is her thirteenth.
24:59
That's why I wish I wouldn't have skipped
25:00
twenty twenty four.
25:01
Fourteen just sounds so cool.
25:11
Compare Lucy Campbell and Sprague to
25:14
Frazier and Hopper.
25:22
Yeah, I know what you're saying, Jake.
25:25
I get it.
25:26
Lucy coaches, James coaches,
25:28
James got his L too.
25:29
Lucy is getting educated on everything,
25:32
but not everybody's going to do it that
25:34
way.
25:35
And that's fine.
25:36
At least Jason is connected to CrossFit
25:40
Crash.
25:41
It is a CrossFit affiliate.
25:42
He is affiliated with them.
25:44
He works out there a good chunk of
25:47
his time.
25:48
I think that's a good thing.
25:50
Frazier, I get it.
25:51
He was not connected to an affiliate.
25:53
He did his own thing.
25:55
There was that brief time at Mayhem,
25:56
but did he really work out at Mayhem?
25:58
Probably not.
26:01
I just, I get what you're saying.
26:05
I get what you're saying.
26:07
But I think it's all by degree,
26:10
just like CrossFit itself.
26:12
It's all by degree.
26:14
There have been a lot of CrossFitters that
26:17
do not work out at an affiliate at
26:20
all.
26:21
And I think that those athletes are
26:24
missing out on something.
26:32
Jake says it's not a criticism.
26:33
I know.
26:33
It's just a discussion point.
26:35
And I'm just trying to understand where
26:37
you're at.
26:37
And I get it.
26:38
Like Lucy Campbell and James Sprague are
26:40
like drinking the Kool-Aid.
26:42
I think Dallin Pepper is on the verge
26:44
of drinking all the Kool-Aid all the way
26:46
to coaching.
26:48
I would not be surprised that Dallin
26:50
becomes a coach at some point.
26:54
I think that group, that like Lucy, James,
26:57
and Dallin are like all in.
27:00
but I think Jason's more connected than
27:02
Justin.
27:03
Justin works out in his own gym all
27:06
the time.
27:06
Now it is affiliated.
27:08
His garage gym is affiliated,
27:10
but is it truly an affiliate?
27:12
Like people from the outside can't sign
27:15
up.
27:15
They can't come.
27:19
And so like,
27:20
I don't think Justin gets the benefit of
27:23
the affiliate community.
27:30
like to see more female coaches at the
27:31
top i think i don't disagree with you
27:36
i would like to see a big a
27:38
bigger push toward that for sure for sure
27:43
but like ariel lowen's opening an
27:44
affiliate she's going to be coaching um so
27:48
i think there is like a transition back
27:51
into kind of that old school thing
27:55
But we'll see.
27:56
We'll see where we go.
27:57
John George says Sharpie.
27:58
Wrong show, but I love the idea.
28:01
I love the idea.
28:07
John George is in for his thirteenth as
28:09
well.
28:10
That's awesome.
28:12
Man,
28:12
all these double-digit CrossFit Open
28:14
athletes.
28:15
Man, hasn't it been a fun ride?
28:18
Fun ride.
28:21
I just will never forget my first ever
28:23
open.
28:24
Twenty thirteen.
28:26
The first workout was seventy five
28:29
burpees, twenty snatches.
28:33
And then I and then it just it
28:34
kept going from there,
28:36
burpees and then burpees to a target
28:38
snatches.
28:40
And at that point,
28:41
I'd never snatched one thirty five,
28:43
which was the second barbell.
28:45
And I got to it.
28:47
And didn't get it in that open.
28:54
Vicky,
28:55
if they aren't allowing for garage
28:56
affiliation,
28:57
how are these athletes affiliating their
28:58
barns?
28:59
They're paying the full price.
29:01
It's not that they don't allow you to
29:04
affiliate your garage.
29:06
It's they don't have a discounted rate to
29:08
affiliate your garage.
29:10
So Justin is paying the full affiliate fee
29:14
to affiliate the shred shed or what I
29:17
think is what it's called.
29:25
John George,
29:26
love it more today than thirteen years
29:28
ago.
29:30
It was so funny because none of the
29:32
me and my two buddies,
29:34
none of us had snatched one thirty five.
29:37
And the night before we were going to
29:38
do the opening, we had just moved.
29:41
We just opened a new affiliate and all
29:44
the paperwork hadn't been through.
29:45
So we had to videotape everything.
29:47
So we had to kind of schedule our
29:48
time to get it in.
29:50
And we were going to do it Saturday
29:51
morning to videotape it.
29:52
And my buddies and I went into the
29:54
gym Friday night.
29:55
and just were making attempt after attempt
29:57
to get a one thirty five snatch that
30:01
whole night.
30:02
It was absolutely insane.
30:06
And that was as much fun as doing
30:08
the workout.
30:08
Like coming together as my little crew,
30:12
trying to get a hundred and thirty five
30:14
pound snatch for the first time.
30:17
And where we are today is so different
30:20
than where we were then.
30:23
Now, like one thirty five snatches,
30:25
just it's I do that for reps in
30:27
a workout.
30:28
Like but back then I couldn't I could
30:30
not hit one.
30:33
um and i was so tired going into
30:35
that holy crap um at ai everyone in
30:43

30:59
Jake,
31:00
I trained today with the kid who was
31:01
born when I did my first open,
31:03
that is nuts.
31:06
That is nuts.
31:10
Makes you feel really, really damn old.
31:12
Twenty thirteen was a different time, too,
31:14
because you could not scale the open
31:17
workout.
31:18
There was one workout.
31:19
You either did it or you tried.
31:23
And.
31:26
Yeah.
31:27
And everything was kind of gated back
31:29
then.
31:29
Like,
31:30
the first piece of every workout was
31:32
pretty doable,
31:33
so you could at least get a score.
31:37
And then...
31:40
And then things got rough.
31:42
But the workouts themselves were tough at
31:45
the time.
31:47
Like my favorite workout ever was twenty
31:49
fourteen, fourteen three.
31:51
And it was deadlifts and box jumps.
31:56
And the deadlift at the beginning was
31:58
super light, but it got real heavy,
32:01
real fast.
32:03
And and I love that workout.
32:06
I love that workout.
32:08
My favorite workout of any open workout
32:10
ever.
32:14
He destroyed me at Cindy.
32:15
Yeah, those kids doing body weight stuff.
32:21
Kids today have,
32:22
if they are an active child,
32:24
their body awareness is ridiculous.
32:26
And doing body weight stuff is just,
32:29
it's just easy for them.
32:34
so yeah good times man good times in
32:36
the open um a couple other things before
32:42
we go uh one more person accepted at
32:45
mayhem so we have chris ibarra who has
32:48
accepted at me mayhem um i don't know
32:51
what that puts their number at now uh
32:55
but we have they announced that today
33:02
You can see there Chris Ibarra accepted
33:07
his invite to Mayhem.
33:12
So that's someone new today.
33:16
So they're filling out their roster.
33:20
Fun stuff there.
33:23
And the last thing I wanted to talk
33:25
about is
33:27
know i'm a huge nfl fan i'm a
33:28
huge chicago bear fan i've got my ice
33:31
man caleb williams shirt on today um the
33:38
season's over for me right we have the
33:40
super bowl and i'll watch that but like
33:42
i was watching three and four bears
33:44
podcasts a day
33:46
and NFL news.
33:48
And now I've got none of that to
33:49
watch.
33:50
And I don't know if there's enough
33:51
CrossFit content to fill it.
33:53
And now I've got to find something to
33:55
fill my day.
33:56
I let these podcasts run during my workday
33:59
and I just listen and listen and listen.
34:01
And now I've got to find a replacement.
34:03
So if anybody has cool podcasts that they
34:06
listen to during the day and
34:10
shoot them to me because I'd really,
34:12
really like to get some different stuff
34:15
in.
34:16
And I know that once the open hits,
34:18
like the podcast,
34:19
the CrossFit stuff is going to kick up
34:21
a notch and I'll have some of that
34:23
to do.
34:27
But yeah,
34:31
I just need some stuff to listen to.
34:35
Like this weekend,
34:35
I watched more movies than I've watched
34:37
forever because of the storm coming in and
34:39
no NFL, no college football,
34:42
no stuff like that.
34:43
So I watched more movies this weekend than
34:46
I have in forever.
34:51
The Rams Hawks game was good last night.
34:54
It was, it was, I,
34:55
we were live on the air when that
34:57
was going.
34:57
So I had to kind of catch it
34:58
after the fact I want,
35:01
I really didn't care who won.
35:03
I like both stories.
35:04
The fact that Sam Darnold beat his ghosts
35:10
and got to the Superbowl was pretty
35:11
freaking awesome.
35:13
And I don't tell me you're a Pat's
35:17
guy.
35:17
I am not a Pat's guy.
35:18
I was rooting for the Broncos yesterday.
35:21
Big time.
35:22
I wanted Jared Stidham to be the guy
35:25
that came off the bench and took the
35:27
Broncos to the Super Bowl.
35:29
And regardless of who made it to the
35:32
Super Bowl from the AFC,
35:33
the NFC was going to win.
35:35
Whether it was the Rams or the Seahawks,
35:37
whoever won that game was winning the
35:39
Super Bowl.
35:40
And that's what's frustrating as a Bears
35:42
fan because the Bears had the Rams on
35:45
the ropes and didn't close.
35:48
And didn't close.
35:50
But I'm not dwelling on it.
35:51
I'm just happy we're moving in the right
35:53
direction.
35:55
All of that.
36:00
But the Seahawks are going to kill the
36:02
Patriots in the Super Bowl.
36:04
They're going to destroy them.
36:08
Drake May has been sacked fifteen times in
36:10
three games.
36:11
And the Seahawks have a better pass rush
36:13
than any of the teams they've played.
36:16
It is going to be a bloodbath in
36:19
the Super Bowl.
36:21
Early prediction.
36:24
I watched the twenty eighteen and twenty
36:26
nineteen docs yesterday.
36:28
I watched Frazier and Uncle Pat fall off
36:30
the cargo net in quick succession.
36:34
Yeah,
36:34
still one of my favorite means is the
36:36
Americans means is the American sniper
36:38
taking out Frazier and Uncle Pat on the
36:40
cargo net.
36:46
And I as a Seattle guy,
36:47
you're my new best friend.
36:49
Glad to hear it, man.
36:51
I mean, that defense is legit.
36:54
And they are going to destroy.
36:56
They're going to destroy the Pats.
36:58
It's not even going to be close.
37:04
Yeah.
37:06
Corey, to be honest, some of the docs,
37:12
they just became very repetitive.
37:16
And I don't remember at what point I
37:18
just...
37:19
I stopped enjoying them as much.
37:22
I really enjoy the behind the scenes way
37:25
more than the documentaries themselves.
37:32
The documentaries always pick five people
37:34
at the beginning and that's all you get
37:36
through that documentary.
37:38
The behind the scenes doesn't select
37:40
anybody.
37:42
I mean,
37:42
Savan does a great job of just going
37:44
up and talking to anybody one through
37:47
thirty, one through forty,
37:49
and you never know who he's going to
37:50
talk to next.
37:52
And you learn stuff that you never knew
37:53
before.
37:57
So, yeah.
37:59
I really...
38:01
It used to be that they were a
38:02
nice tandem.
38:04
They seem to like go hand in hand,
38:07
where if you watch the documentary and the
38:10
behind the scenes of the same period
38:12
through the week, it was really,
38:14
really cool.
38:15
It lined up really well.
38:18
And I really enjoyed that.
38:19
And then I think there was a time
38:21
where that kind of veered off.
38:23
the doc guys did their own thing and
38:26
the behind the scenes did savon did his
38:28
own thing and so it didn't have the
38:31
the tie together as well um and so
38:39
yeah
38:40
I used to love both.
38:41
I used to love both.
38:43
I would pay for both.
38:46
I mean,
38:46
I paid for the CrossFit membership to get
38:49
all the journal stuff,
38:51
including the behind the scenes.
38:53
I paid for the videos when they came
38:54
out on the documentary.
38:58
I legit love it all.
38:59
But the last few years, man,
39:01
the doc has not been anything new or
39:04
different.
39:06
I am curious about this one.
39:07
Jenna has promised me that this
39:09
documentary coming out from last year's
39:11
games is very different than what's been
39:14
done in the past.
39:17
And so I'll take her at a word
39:19
that it is.
39:22
I just chatted with her a couple of
39:23
nights ago and she really has promised me
39:29
that this is going to be different,
39:31
really different.
39:41
Jody says, if I'm stuck for content,
39:43
I go to Soft White Underbelly.
39:45
Amazing human interest stories.
39:49
Okay.
39:51
I'll check it out.
39:55
I'll check it out.
39:56
I'm not a true crime guy.
39:57
My wife listens to all of that stuff.
39:59
I get enough of that just through osmosis.
40:06
Okay.
40:09
Corey says, I hope she's right.
40:10
Could be a great thing for the community.
40:12
I do like all this stuff has to
40:14
tie together.
40:15
All of these efforts,
40:17
if they like play off of one another
40:19
and build off of one another,
40:21
that's what the community needs.
40:23
That's what CrossFit needs.
40:25
They need to get this ball rolling.
40:27
So it becomes an avalanche again.
40:30
The problem is before you'd have one
40:32
person rolling the snowball and then they
40:35
would leave and another person would start
40:37
another snowball and the snowballs never
40:39
came together as one big ball to come
40:41
into an avalanche.
40:43
That's what we need.
40:44
We need it all to come into one
40:46
big snowball.
40:53
That is my sage advice.
40:56
Stop making separate snowballs and make
40:58
one big snowball.
41:05
Hope that made sense.
41:06
I don't know.
41:10
It's Monday.
41:11
Trying to get my energy up.
41:15
Well, I'm going to head back to work,
41:16
guys.
41:18
You knuckleheads should do the same.
41:20
I will see everybody next time on.
41:26
Shanna says we need a snowball czar.
41:27
There we go.
41:29
There we go.
41:31
Scott likes snowballs.
41:33
Film at eleven.
41:41
Low carb MD podcast.
41:43
Dr. Tro has an excellent one.
41:44
Okay.
41:45
There's another one.
41:47
Jody feed me content.
41:50
Shanna and Corey feed me snowballs.
41:52
That's what I want.
41:59
Jay Burch snowballs chance in hell.
42:02
Come on, man.
42:02
Come on.
42:08
Eddie,
42:08
I wish I won the big two billion
42:10
Powerball.
42:11
You'd work for CrossFit HQ.
42:13
I would take the job.
42:19
New week, week in review.
42:20
Out, go watch.
42:22
Yeah, I watch those every week, Mark.
42:24
Every week.
42:26
You have to know what Dave's saying.
42:27
Although I've noticed since we have the
42:29
CrossFit Games podcast or Sport of Fitness
42:32
podcast, whatever...
42:33
the name of that thing is that Dave's
42:35
week in review is more personal,
42:38
less CrossFit,
42:40
which I kind of like that you're moving
42:42
the news to the official CrossFit channel
42:46
and letting Dave just talk about his week
42:49
and doing kind of the personal thing.
42:51
I think that's better.
42:54
Um,
42:56
And it was a slight little shift in
42:59
change, but I think it's a good shift.
43:01
And Dave appears on that Sport of Fitness
43:04
podcast when it comes on too.
43:09
So that's really good.
43:15
We have our weatherman Jay Birch down in
43:17
Texas saying that it's still cold for TFX,
43:19
but the weather outlook is looking better.
43:22
Yeah, that thing's outside.
43:24
It was chilly and there was none of
43:26
what's going on right now when I last
43:28
went to TFX.
43:29
And the wind out there is, it whips.
43:32
So if it's chilly at all, man,
43:34
that wind takes the feels like temperature
43:36
way down.
43:38
Way, way down.
43:42
All right, guys, I'm heading back to work.
43:44
We'll see you guys tomorrow.
43:45
Don't forget to like and subscribe to the
43:47
channel.
43:48
Love you all.
43:49
Have a great rest of your Monday,
43:50
and we will see you tomorrow afternoon.
43:53
Bye, guys.
