Lunch with the Clydesdale & Cowboy - Do We Open a Can of Worms? · Clydesdale Media Podcast

0:02
Today, we have a special treat for you.
0:05
Lunch with the Clydesdale.
0:08
Cowboys in the saddle.
0:10
That's one.
0:11
If you sing that one once on a
0:13
Monday,
0:14
you'll be singing it on Friday afternoon.
0:16
Lunch with the Clydesdale.
0:21
Cowboy in the saddle.
0:36
it's lunch time
1:04
That's the greatest thing I've seen all
1:06
week at a minimum.
1:08
Dude, it's like taking over the world.
1:11
Apparently.
1:13
One listener at a time.
1:16
We can definitely say we're taking over
1:18
the world because Mr.
1:20
Peter White is on the other side of
1:21
the world from where we are.
1:24
Hey, whatever excuse,
1:26
we are taking over the world.
1:31
Absolutely.
1:33
They're right.
1:33
Your mic is off.
1:34
My mic is off?
1:36
Yeah.
1:37
Son of a... Son of a...
1:46
How about that?
1:47
Hey, there it is.
1:49
There's that smooth baritone we're looking
1:51
for.
1:52
ah so my my it's lunchtime didn't come
1:56
off like it oh man that's fine dude
1:59
it's fine great intro i know but
2:02
considering what we played right before it
2:04
i think it's going to be okay well
2:05
here so what happens is like i make
2:09
that up with all the stuff that's been
2:11
sent to me i do it upstairs at
2:15
my work desk and
2:17
And I don't have anything plugged into my
2:18
laptop.
2:19
So then the laptop thinks I don't have
2:21
any of the stuff.
2:22
I come downstairs, plug it in.
2:24
And so it defaults to what it was
2:26
just on.
2:28
And I forgot to change it because it
2:30
had like not my good camera.
2:32
It had like my side camera.
2:36
Understandable.
2:37
But I should have known.
2:38
I should have known better.
2:39
I should have known better.
2:40
Yeah.
2:45
Way to take one for the team, Vicky.
2:50
uh corey quick question who is the guy
2:53
with the stash behind you in the imam
2:55
summit group pick uh give me a second
2:58
i know his name he's actually a really
3:00
good guy i'll say it's jason oh please
3:08
yeah i understand i am cheating on my
3:10
main camera with my side camera in the
3:13
off hours but don't tell it
3:19
Yes, Jason Harper.
3:23
Jason Harper.
3:24
Good dude.
3:24
Good dude.
3:25
Looking to try to get on a team,
3:26
go make games on the team next year.
3:33
Judge to Mizuno.
3:35
Good dude, man.
3:36
Real good dude.
3:37
Got him a brand new baby,
3:39
seven months old.
3:41
He's awesome.
3:43
When you meet somebody,
3:44
do you just automatically ask them their
3:46
life story so you know all these intricate
3:48
facts?
3:49
Or do people just look at your face
3:50
and go,
3:51
this is a guy I want to tell
3:52
everything to?
3:54
A little from column A,
3:58
a little from column B. Yeah.
4:03
Yeah,
4:03
because when people ask you about someone
4:08
in a picture, you always know, oh yeah,
4:09
they have three kids.
4:11
He grew up in Destin, Florida,
4:12
but he moved to the Panhandle later.
4:19
Jason's actually from... Shit.
4:24
I was being facetious, dude.
4:26
No, I know,
4:26
but he's actually from either Arkansas or
4:28
Oklahoma, like right up in that area.
4:33
Like I said, solid human being.
4:37
Solid human being.
4:38
One of the coolest people I met that
4:40
I didn't know beforehand at camp last
4:43
weekend.
4:43
So it's funny.
4:48
When I was doing all the interviews all
4:52
the time,
4:54
I got in this habit that whenever I
4:56
met somebody,
4:57
I pretty much interviewed them.
5:00
Like, because,
5:01
because I am so interested in the
5:02
backstories of people and what they do.
5:05
And I want to get back to a
5:07
day where I can do more interviews again,
5:10
because I really, really enjoy it.
5:11
I love hearing the stories,
5:13
but I do get into this habit then
5:15
into my real life.
5:17
I just start asking all those questions to
5:19
people when I see them on the street.
5:22
You start grilling random people.
5:25
Where were you on the night of December?
5:27
No, no.
5:29
That's what Trank does.
5:33
Yeah.
5:33
Trank's going,
5:35
do you have an alibi for what happened?
5:37
I don't.
5:38
I do not have an alibi for what
5:43
happened.
5:46
My girlfriend is like that,
5:47
talks to anyone and everyone.
5:49
She went to Mayhem with me,
5:50
and while I was judging,
5:51
she got to know Paige Rogers' grandfather.
5:57
There was a moment where I was so
5:58
big in the dad community of the elite
6:01
female athletes.
6:03
All the dads were coming over and saying
6:05
hi to me.
6:06
Were y'all exchanging grilling tips?
6:09
They all started following me on
6:10
Instagram.
6:11
We just started talking about cars and
6:15
smoking meat.
6:16
That's what I'm saying.
6:19
The two-click tones before you actually...
6:26
Don't laugh.
6:27
You know that's true.
6:27
You got to knock off the stuff, man.
6:29
You got to get the stuff off before
6:31
you grab anything.
6:32
I mean, everybody knows that.
6:35
If they don't, they should.
6:41
I was watching a video this morning,
6:43
and yesterday we were talking about the
6:46
whole Tim Tebow situation on Ye Sports and
6:49
him.
6:50
The company he spoke for, not good guys.
6:55
Yeah.
6:56
And so I watched an expose by Pablo
7:00
Torre, and so now he's in my algorithm,
7:03
Pablo Torre.
7:05
So he was sitting there with Mina Kimes
7:09
and, gosh, and I love her.
7:13
She was on Celebrity Jeopardy.
7:14
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
7:16
He was talking about his pet peeve,
7:18
and his pet peeve is people who stick
7:20
gum under a table because he's a guy
7:23
that likes to,
7:24
like –
7:25
He fidgets when he's like on the air
7:27
and he sticks his hand under tables and
7:29
he kind of rubs them back and forth.
7:31
And the minute he hits gum,
7:32
like it just makes him want to vomit.
7:36
Katie Nolan.
7:37
The other girl was Katie Nolan.
7:39
Katie Nolan goes, oh my gosh,
7:41
when I subbed for you like a month
7:44
ago on your birthday,
7:46
I stuck gum under the table.
7:51
Because we were about to go on the
7:53
air and I couldn't find a trash can.
7:56
So I stuck it under and I said,
7:59
hey, just remind me,
8:00
I stuck the gum under here so I
8:01
grab it before I go.
8:03
And then they found a clip of her
8:04
doing that right before the show and
8:06
showed it on this thing.
8:08
They didn't play that.
8:09
And then he looks under and it's still
8:13
there.
8:14
Bro.
8:18
It was so freaking funny, dude.
8:20
I...
8:22
That's gross.
8:23
It's not a whole lot of stuff that
8:24
grosses me out, but I can't fathom that.
8:28
Well,
8:28
then she came over and grabbed it
8:31
barehanded,
8:32
and the other two lost their mind.
8:35
And I'm thinking, it's her gum.
8:37
It's her gum.
8:38
She used her fingers to stick it there.
8:41
Yeah.
8:42
Unless somebody else chewed it.
8:44
And they're yelling, get a napkin,
8:46
get a napkin.
8:48
And she's like,
8:49
contrary to popular belief,
8:51
my mouth is not full of trash.
8:52
Fair enough.
8:55
Fair enough.
8:59
Yeah,
8:59
unless somebody else grabbed it while she
9:01
was going, chewed it,
9:02
and then put it back,
9:03
and then she was the last person to
9:04
touch it, it'll be okay.
9:08
was her gum like i i don't know
9:10
i guess i'm just old and dude we
9:13
didn't have antibacterial anything when i
9:15
was a kid no you just had to
9:18
survive with the germs that were around
9:20
you yeah and so far so good like
9:24
still still running strong maybe that's
9:27
what caused my afib
9:31
Entirely possible.
9:32
I have no idea.
9:33
I'm not a choreologist or even a doctor.
9:36
And I did not stay at a Holiday
9:37
Inn Express last night.
9:38
So like I said,
9:38
that's probably much a triple rammy.
9:43
You rubbed dirt on the cut and kept
9:44
moving.
9:45
Yeah.
9:49
And drank from the garden hose.
9:51
Dude, I still drink from my hose.
9:55
That's bougie, man.
9:56
Drinking from the hose.
9:57
I actually drank from the bigot.
9:59
Well, I mean, the hose is hooked up.
10:02
I will drink from it if I'm outside,
10:03
like,
10:04
washing Jennifer's car or something like
10:05
that, washing my Jeep.
10:07
You got to let it run for a
10:08
little while so you can get the hot
10:09
water out of it first.
10:11
See, when you go directly from the spigot,
10:12
you don't have to worry about that.
10:14
Well, I mean...
10:15
Because the hose is lying in the sun.
10:22
Yeah.
10:23
Yeah.
10:23
I feel like the hose lying in the
10:24
sun warms it up and gets it,
10:26
you know...
10:27
You can get the bad stuff out to
10:29
where you can get to the good water
10:30
that was all the way underneath the ground
10:31
somewhere, nice and chilly.
10:35
I'm convinced that's why Gen X is healthy.
10:37
Our immune systems are ironclad.
10:39
We've seen it all, man.
10:41
Seen it, been there, done that.
10:45
Barefoot out in the yard,
10:47
just doing dumb shit,
10:49
making puddles and playing with the water
10:53
hose, basically.
10:53
Just keeping myself cool in the
10:55
summertime.
10:56
You know, like,
10:57
there's all this thing about, like,
10:58
there's metals and this and metals and
11:00
that.
11:01
I grew up in Pittsburgh.
11:02
You know how much rust ended up in
11:03
the river?
11:05
Yeah, most of it.
11:06
Probably,
11:08
I am half Iron Man at this point.
11:12
I like this.
11:13
First,
11:13
we talk about building our own bikes from
11:16
spare parts,
11:16
and then we have to move our friends.
11:18
I actually,
11:20
one of the last times I put my
11:21
BMX bike back together,
11:23
I was
11:25
Was at a friend's house,
11:26
pocket wheelie going down the street,
11:27
and my front tire claimed smooth off.
11:29
And I freaked out, landed on my forks,
11:32
flew over in front of it,
11:33
bent one of my forks over there like
11:35
this.
11:35
And that was the last time I rode
11:37
my bike.
11:39
Joseph,
11:40
you'd like to know which half is Ironman.
11:44
That's for my close friends.
11:46
Oh, yeah.
11:50
Pittsburgh is rust.
11:51
Pretty much.
11:52
Pretty much.
11:55
And the thing is, Andrew,
11:57
you're meaning that as a derogatory
11:59
statement.
12:00
But you know what is downriver from
12:02
Pittsburgh?
12:04
Cincinnati.
12:05
Just saying.
12:09
Absolutely.
12:10
You get all our waste.
12:11
So you're probably a quarter iron at that.
12:15
Dude,
12:15
I live at the bottom of the Mississippi
12:17
River.
12:17
We get all of everybody's waste.
12:20
They don't call this place Cancer Alley
12:21
for no good reason.
12:22
You're right.
12:23
The Mississippi gets all the shit from
12:26
everybody.
12:26
From everybody, dude.
12:28
I hear,
12:30
and I don't because I've never actually
12:31
seen it up there,
12:32
but the further north you go,
12:33
it's actually a lot cleaner looking.
12:36
If you go look at it,
12:36
they don't call it the Big Brown for
12:38
nothing.
12:39
Muddy Brown.
12:39
You go over to any bridge around here
12:41
that goes over the river and you're like,
12:42
Jesus Christ.
12:45
It looks like bad, melted chocolate.
12:48
It's terrible.
12:50
So I...
12:52
back in the day I went up in
12:53
the arch in St.
12:54
Louis and on the one side you can
12:56
see the Mississippi and Missouri it's
12:59
pretty bad there and it's got like three
13:02
more states to go before it gets to
13:04
you it's wild dude and foam where the
13:13
F does foam come from I don't even
13:17
want to know Mark at this point I
13:19
really really don't
13:21
but he's not wrong i think they're fish
13:23
farts i hope not oh holy oh hold
13:35
on ah
13:41
Foam on top of river is usually a
13:43
natural occurrence caused by decomposing
13:45
organic matter,
13:47
like leaves and plants releasing natural
13:50
compounds that lower the water surface
13:53
tension.
13:56
Look at that.
13:58
Who has a great producer?
14:01
Yeah, us.
14:03
This guy, that guy.
14:07
Yeah.
14:07
Number one producer on this channel.
14:09
That is for damn sure.
14:10
Yeah.
14:16
Speaking of stupid kid stuff,
14:17
I learned how to water ski on the
14:19
main Mississippi channel.
14:22
You couldn't pay me to get in Mississippi.
14:23
Not at all.
14:26
There's no way.
14:28
There's no way.
14:29
After working in most of the chemical
14:30
plants around here that are right on the
14:32
river, nah, dude, I'm good.
14:35
I am perfectly fine without getting
14:37
anywhere into that water.
14:42
Or fish releasing their natural waste.
14:44
No, fish don't do color guard.
14:49
No,
14:49
they do pee in the water from what
14:51
I understand.
14:51
Anyway, I don't actually know any fish,
14:53
but I would assume they pee in the
14:55
water.
14:57
I heard it.
14:59
I think you sent it to me.
15:00
Were you the one that sent me the
15:01
Hugh Jackman, Kate Hudson?
15:02
That was so good, dude.
15:05
What do you call a fish with no
15:06
eyes?
15:07
Yeah.
15:07
Yeah.
15:13
why does that make me laugh it's the
15:15
dumbest damn joke ever and i all of
15:18
them all of them were like straight up
15:21
bad jokes to the nth degree but my
15:25
lord i laughed so hard dude so one
15:28
of the jokes because i have a question
15:29
to ask of you is kate udson is
15:31
doing a knock knock joke to hugh jackman
15:33
yeah and she says knock knock and he
15:36
says who's there and he's she says jackman
15:40
And he goes, Jackman who?
15:42
And she says, Hugh Jackman.
15:46
Is that only funny because it's directed
15:48
at him?
15:49
You can't tell that joke to Corey Leonard.
15:53
No, I wouldn't think so.
15:55
I wouldn't think so.
15:56
But it worked.
15:57
I was laughing because they were laughing
15:59
because the whole thing was just...
16:05
I think I sent it to Winter as
16:08
well.
16:11
I think it's just...
16:14
And the whole goal of the reel was
16:16
that they were trying not to laugh.
16:18
I think they were giving a pass on
16:20
the no laughing when they, in fact,
16:22
were laughing early on.
16:25
But it was the Hugh Jackman that got
16:26
them.
16:29
He was laughing.
16:31
He had lost his mind.
16:32
And I don't blame him.
16:33
They made a knock-knock joke about him.
16:36
And told it to him.
16:38
Yeah.
16:41
was pretty good um sketching up i'm trying
16:45
to catch up on all the water palooza
16:47
socal we had family in this weekend for
16:49
my great niece's first birthday and and so
16:54
while i watch the actual event like all
16:56
the behind the scenes i'm trying to catch
16:57
up and first and foremost i want to
17:00
say
17:01
the tandem of the two and the turnaround
17:04
time by both Savan and Hiller to get
17:06
that stuff out so quickly was a really
17:10
cool,
17:10
like accompanying piece to the main event.
17:14
Cause you got the behind the scenes and
17:16
the main event kind of coming out fairly
17:19
simultaneously.
17:20
And the events were on so late for
17:22
us on the East coast in the morning,
17:24
you could then see the behind the scenes
17:25
from the day before.
17:27
And then the night, then the day,
17:28
you know, like, like all that, but,
17:32
How about Jack Farlow getting pushed by
17:35
Colton?
17:36
That's all they've ever heard, right?
17:39
And then I saw what Jack Farlow did,
17:42
and I probably showed them too.
17:45
I'm going to have to check that out
17:46
because I have not seen what that was.
17:48
I heard something to that effect,
17:50
but I have not actually seen any of
17:51
it.
17:52
I haven't had time.
17:53
So the one drawback, well,
17:55
two drawbacks to Waterpalooza SoCal were
17:57
the judging and the teams not going hard
18:03
to save themselves for an event.
18:06
Yeah.
18:07
And JR had a great solution to that.
18:10
Like if you give up or you don't
18:12
do minimum work requirement or you get a
18:14
minus one instead of a zero.
18:16
I like that.
18:19
So I like that solution to the whole
18:20
thing.
18:21
But Brute, so Jack Farlow got hurt.
18:25
And so Tudor had to fill in for
18:27
him on an event and then go immediately
18:30
into the captain's challenge after that.
18:33
So outcast was trying to rest during the
18:36
event before and not go super hard.
18:39
And Jack was not in it.
18:41
So Jack went down the middle of the
18:43
lanes in between the four teams.
18:45
So two on one side,
18:46
two on the other.
18:47
And he's calling no reps in the middle
18:49
of the field.
18:52
Oh, no.
18:54
Now,
18:54
I believe that was a response to every
18:57
team picking on the outcast the entire
18:59
weekend,
18:59
appealing everything that they were doing.
19:02
And so his frustration had reached a level
19:05
where he was doing that.
19:07
But if I'm out on the field and
19:09
another athlete is out there not working
19:13
but calling no reps on me,
19:15
they're probably going to get shoved.
19:17
Yeah, at a minimum.
19:19
At a minimum.
19:20
Especially when we're trying to win money.
19:23
It's one thing if you're just out there
19:25
and dicking around and somebody's out
19:26
there and he's doing it out of...
19:29
laughing while he's doing it.
19:33
But you got actual judges on the floor
19:34
and people are trying to bring home money
19:35
and whatnot.
19:36
There's no way.
19:37
You're not doing that.
19:39
You're not getting away with that.
19:40
No, I'm with you on that.
19:41
And I'm the biggest lover of trash talk.
19:44
I love trash talk,
19:46
but there's a place and an appropriate
19:48
time to do it.
19:50
If you are not an active athlete,
19:51
you should not even be on the floor.
19:53
We discussed that earlier in the week that
19:57
they should have been off on a sideline,
19:59
cheering, doing whatever.
20:01
If viewers are trying to watch...
20:06
The least amount of people on the floor
20:08
as possible.
20:09
I have repeatedly banged my head against
20:13
the wall about media being too close,
20:16
media being in the way.
20:18
You already have judges and athletes out
20:19
there.
20:20
We don't need any more.
20:22
No.
20:23
Because now you're not just impeding or
20:25
messing with the other athletes.
20:26
You're messing with the other judges as
20:28
well,
20:29
like who are out there actually trying to
20:30
judge and –
20:32
Call actual no reps good reps and all
20:34
that other good shit.
20:36
You are in the way.
20:37
You are impeding work.
20:39
You probably should have been docked
20:41
points for that.
20:45
Who let him out there to begin with?
20:49
Well, it was happening all weekend.
20:50
It just was not in that vein most
20:53
of the weekend.
20:54
It was non-active athletes out there
20:58
cheering others on.
21:02
There's one thing to be cheering on his
21:03
own.
21:03
There's another thing to be out there
21:05
actively being an asshole.
21:06
They can cheer from the sidelines.
21:08
They don't need to be on the floor,
21:09
period.
21:10
Not at all.
21:12
You ain't getting no argument from me
21:13
about that.
21:14
No, you don't belong out there.
21:16
I can't imagine not even being part of
21:20
the event and just deciding to make myself
21:23
a nuisance, basically,
21:24
and be out on the floor and just
21:26
messing with people like that.
21:27
That's not cool.
21:27
Yeah.
21:33
I think we're all in agreement.
21:34
It was just,
21:35
and the other issue I have is,
21:37
Waterpalooza set a precedent with the
21:39
appealing of every freaking thing all
21:41
weekend.
21:43
They shouldn't, they should not,
21:45
if they're doing this again next year in
21:47
the same format,
21:49
they have got to limit the appeals and
21:51
they've got to limit the reasons for
21:52
appeal.
21:54
You get two appeals and it's only for
21:56
this reason or this reason.
21:58
The fact that they're the first
22:00
competition I know of that allowed teams
22:03
to appeal other teams' decisions.
22:06
That's not cool.
22:09
In most competitions,
22:11
you can only appeal your own decisions.
22:15
Decisions on your workout,
22:17
not other people's.
22:19
And they opened up that door and it
22:21
became way too much by the end of
22:23
the week.
22:24
That's a can of worms you do not
22:25
want to open because it's going to be
22:26
real hard to put it back in,
22:28
especially once you just...
22:29
would why not you're just going to appeal
22:31
every single every single decision that
22:33
gets made for everybody everybody else's
22:35
team and as soon as they figure out
22:38
i'm doing it then they're just going to
22:39
do it to me and it's just going
22:40
to be a giant cluster the entire time
22:43
no no thank you that's a terrible idea
22:45
uh if they aren't on the floor the
22:49
behind the scenes wouldn't have been as
22:50
entertaining i completely disagree with
22:52
that cows and crossfit
22:55
Behind the scenes is usually getting
22:56
shoved and being disrespectful to get a
22:59
behind-the-scenes that's entertaining.
23:01
There was plenty that was entertaining
23:03
other than that.
23:05
Well, I mean,
23:05
look at any of the other
23:06
behind-the-scenes.
23:07
When Hiller's on top of it,
23:09
when Savant's on top of it,
23:10
whoever's doing it, generally speaking,
23:12
they are pretty darn entertaining to
23:15
watch.
23:15
You do not need to add to it.
23:18
By letting random ass people, you know,
23:21
granted they're on the team,
23:22
but they're not actually actively
23:23
participating.
23:23
You don't belong on the floor.
23:28
Easy.
23:28
You don't belong on the floor.
23:31
If you appeal,
23:32
they should look at your reps,
23:33
meaning you might gain some back,
23:34
but you may also lose some.
23:37
I cannot tell you how much I agree
23:39
with that.
23:41
Mr. Andrews saying like, oh,
23:42
you got a video?
23:43
Oh, you want to watch the video back?
23:45
Okay, cool.
23:45
We're going to watch the entire thing.
23:47
like video review if you submit a video
23:50
um for an online qualifier or for the
23:52
open or wherever else oh you want to
23:54
watch the whole video cool we're going to
23:55
watch the entire video front to back and
23:59
see what you actually did and didn't do
24:00
and then we can go from there uh
24:05
trink doesn't want to open any type of
24:06
cans with worms don't bug me at all
24:10
but man my wife
24:13
She can't even stand like an earthworm.
24:16
She reacts like it's a snake.
24:20
I don't think they even have a mouth,
24:23
do they?
24:24
Yeah, they do.
24:29
It's nothing to be worried about.
24:30
I put it to you like that.
24:33
When I was a kid,
24:34
that was part of our fun is grabbing
24:36
earthworms, night crawlers.
24:39
Going fishing.
24:41
Vicky is freaking out behind the scenes.
24:45
She is freaking out.
24:51
There's a joke there,
24:52
but I'm going to leave it.
24:59
I think the non-competing athlete should
25:01
have a super soaker and can snipe the
25:02
opposing teams.
25:05
I hope you're joking.
25:07
Yeah.
25:07
No, thank you.
25:09
I would be way more annoyed with that.
25:14
I don't want, like,
25:15
I don't want anybody walking in front of
25:17
me while I'm trying to lift weights,
25:18
much less shooting war guns at me.
25:22
Like, trying to snatch a freaking barbell.
25:25
Uh-uh.
25:25
Ain't no way.
25:27
Can I just tell you,
25:29
this is way off subject,
25:31
but that's what this show's about.
25:33
So I did three shows yesterday.
25:35
Yes, you did.
25:37
So I have drinks galore right in front
25:41
of me,
25:42
and I keep grabbing the ones from last
25:44
night and going, nope,
25:46
I don't want to drink that.
25:47
Nope, not doing that.
25:50
Because I have a FitAid.
25:54
I have another FitAid.
25:56
As you do.
25:58
I have coffee.
25:59
Okay.
26:01
And I have third Z. All right.
26:04
You probably don't want to take the third
26:05
Z now.
26:05
It is.
26:06
Yeah.
26:06
Eleven forty two.
26:08
Have you found any gum?
26:09
No, no gum.
26:10
No gum.
26:10
Okay.
26:12
Just checking.
26:13
Did you see my story, man?
26:15
I slept almost nine hours last night.
26:17
Yeah, I did.
26:18
Yeah, I did.
26:19
I re-shared it.
26:20
That was awesome.
26:22
And you know what helped me get that
26:23
nine hours of sleep?
26:26
The third Z.
26:27
I'm about to go on a limb and
26:29
say Thursday.
26:30
Yep.
26:30
Thursday.
26:32
A nice chocolatey treat right after that
26:35
eight PM show last night.
26:37
I went to bed.
26:38
I don't, I put on a podcast.
26:40
I don't think I made it three minutes.
26:42
That's your third show today.
26:47
Jeez.
26:47
That's a lot.
26:50
And you can go to third Z.com backslash.
26:52
Yeah.
26:55
Or use promo code Jazzy at checkout and
26:58
get fifteen percent off your order.
27:06
I can't remember the last time I slept
27:07
nine hours.
27:08
You know what?
27:08
I can.
27:10
Last night.
27:11
Because it was last night.
27:13
And it was because I chugged some thirdsy
27:15
right before bed.
27:18
Most of it, apparently,
27:19
because your cup's still sitting there in
27:20
front of you.
27:24
Oh, that's good stuff.
27:29
Mike DeVito, what did you miss?
27:31
Everything.
27:33
Everything.
27:33
That's why I have to go back and
27:34
start over.
27:35
Mike, we would tell you what you missed,
27:37
but honestly, we don't really know.
27:38
Yeah.
27:40
Honestly, when I'm done with these shows,
27:42
I can't remember what we talked about.
27:44
Vicky sends me the thumbnail,
27:46
and I'm like, oh, yeah,
27:47
we did talk about that, didn't we?
27:48
You're like, thanks, Vic.
27:49
Yeah.
27:52
The thumbnail is my recap to then write
27:54
the description.
28:01
Mike,
28:02
if you are a bride and a bridesmaid,
28:04
there are things I didn't know about you.
28:06
And that's brand new news right there.
28:10
Yeah.
28:10
Congratulations.
28:12
Well, if you like being a bridesmaid,
28:14
I guess.
28:14
Congratulations.
28:16
Yeah.
28:18
So I have.
28:24
I have three items on my list.
28:27
Two are kind of CrossFit.
28:28
One isn't.
28:28
Where do you want to go?
28:29
Doesn't really matter.
28:31
Surprise me.
28:33
So Xenon made an announcement today.
28:35
Did you see that?
28:36
I did.
28:40
Xenon is adding some new features to their
28:43
event.
28:45
Back by popular demand, according to Mr.
28:49
Wilson Park there.
28:51
They are adding a foundations division for
28:55
entry-level people to be able to do Xenon.
28:58
That has been a major complaint for people
29:01
that you pretty much have to be able
29:03
to do everything RX to be able to
29:05
do a Xenon.
29:07
And so now they're offering a version that
29:10
you can do and participate.
29:12
The other complaint they get is,
29:14
I can't do another two-day event in this
29:17
season.
29:18
So they're giving you the option.
29:20
You can pick a day.
29:22
You can do the Saturday only,
29:24
or you can do the Sunday only.
29:27
And you can buy a ticket just for
29:28
that day.
29:30
So you're only going to do five of
29:31
the ten?
29:32
Yep.
29:35
I mean,
29:35
I guess with how their point structure
29:37
worked,
29:37
it really doesn't matter if you do all
29:38
of them or not.
29:40
Yeah, it would just be based on...
29:44
I mean, you would have a Saturday score...
29:47
instead of a xenon score yeah right so
29:53
most important giving the people what they
29:55
want maybe giving the people what they
29:57
want amanda's very very good at that he's
29:59
extremely good at his job and uh and
30:02
good at listening i think those are nice
30:06
pivots
30:07
Yeah, I agree.
30:09
I agree.
30:10
A lot of people were complaining about,
30:12
you know, can't do all this stuff.
30:14
You know, we'd like to do this.
30:15
Can't do all of it about what I
30:17
was don't want to do all that stuff.
30:20
So, okay, well, here you go.
30:23
Now you have no, now, you know,
30:24
now the people that were complaining have
30:27
nothing to complain about, like,
30:30
put your money where your mouth is.
30:31
You were saying you want to be able
30:32
to do this,
30:33
want to be able to do that.
30:34
And now you can,
30:35
so let's see what happens.
30:38
Lita says,
30:39
I don't love the half event thing.
30:41
If it's one day,
30:42
it should still be the full test.
30:44
But that's just me.
30:45
Here's the deal.
30:46
You just have to look at it as
30:47
three different tests.
30:49
Yeah.
30:50
Because Saturday are always the same five
30:53
events.
30:54
Sunday are always the other five events.
30:57
So if you get a Saturday score,
31:00
it is your Saturday test.
31:02
And that's it.
31:04
It can't be compared to someone doing all
31:06
ten.
31:09
It can only be compared to other people
31:10
only doing the Saturday.
31:12
You can't compare it to you did a
31:16
Saturday in Miami and then you did a
31:19
Sunday in Knoxville, whatever.
31:22
And you can't combine the scores and say,
31:24
blah, blah, blah.
31:25
Yeah, no, it doesn't.
31:28
It won't work like that.
31:29
So basically he's just adding extra
31:31
columns in the spreadsheet for all intents
31:34
and purposes to say,
31:37
it's just adding a different division like
31:39
hyrox does all the time yeah ain't nothing
31:42
wrong with it i mean i understand what
31:44
she's saying to a degree because people
31:46
like her and i who like if i'm
31:48
going i'm doing both things like i want
31:49
to see what it feels like to do
31:51
the entire test but not everybody is as
31:54
much of a competitive asshole as i am
31:56
so here we are like
32:04
Cue everyone ditching the one rep max
32:06
snatch to Saturday for the clean ladder
32:08
Sunday.
32:09
But you only get to do the other
32:11
four on Sunday with the clean ladder,
32:14
and you only get a Sunday score.
32:16
And that you cannot compare it to anybody
32:18
doing the Saturday or the entire two-day
32:21
event.
32:22
She's just saying, like,
32:24
in the grand scheme of things,
32:25
The snatch is like way more technical,
32:28
right?
32:29
Not necessarily.
32:30
It's appealing to me.
32:31
I love snatching.
32:32
I would snatch all day long if I
32:33
could.
32:35
The clean ladder,
32:37
or probably the general population,
32:38
is more fun because it feels more
32:40
accessible.
32:40
You can get away with a lot more
32:42
on a clean than you can on a
32:43
snatch.
32:44
See,
32:44
my initial reaction is there would be a
32:45
lot of people ditching the Sunday just to
32:48
be able to do the one rep max
32:49
snatch.
32:50
Mm-hmm.
32:54
I think I'm, I'm, I'm, I think I'm,
32:57
I'm leaning towards Leo now.
32:57
And I feel like probably more people
32:59
would,
33:00
which day has the max echo bike one
33:03
minute at the Saturday anymore.
33:06
Pretty sure that Saturday,
33:09
I think I'll go ahead and let go.
33:11
Oh, I don't have to do that.
33:12
Cool.
33:13
So Lito, she asks,
33:15
wonder if they shuffle around the events
33:16
in the future.
33:17
They have said repeatedly that the order
33:21
of events and the events themselves will
33:24
not change.
33:25
It's the only way that the Xenon score
33:28
stands and can be compared and contrasted
33:31
to.
33:33
And I'm assuming,
33:34
I would like to get Wilson on to
33:36
be able to talk about it,
33:36
but I'm assuming that if you do,
33:38
you don't get a full Xenon score if
33:40
you do one day.
33:41
you get a half right like that's only
33:44
that's the only way it works yeah echo
33:46
bikes on day one there you go so
33:49
it'll be a lot of people and be
33:50
like oh i don't have to do max
33:52
calories in the middle of the echo bike
33:54
cool i'll just go sunday i'm all with
33:57
birch on this like so what they're only
33:59
being compared against people on that day
34:00
if you want the full test do both
34:02
days to get that score
34:04
Yeah, as long as you know going in,
34:07
right?
34:07
Like, no,
34:08
I just want to do the one day.
34:09
Okay, cool.
34:09
Well,
34:09
you're going to be able to compare
34:10
yourself to the other people that did the
34:12
one day.
34:13
And that's it.
34:14
Like, let's go.
34:17
I'll take day two all day, running,
34:19
gymnastics, no snatching, and echo.
34:24
Well, you've already converted, Lito,
34:25
from being two-day only to now you're
34:27
willing to do just Sunday.
34:31
It took her like two minutes.
34:34
for her to figure that part of it
34:35
out and she's probably gonna say we're we
34:37
kind of took liberties with that
34:39
interpretation but okay um i don't know if
34:43
you watched last night show at all yet
34:47
who i'm doing both again in miami day
34:51
one was harder than day two for me
34:54
oh no it's lisa my bad i just
34:57
saw the picture the picture i was asking
35:01
haha i know i'm sold
35:09
Last night, as per usual,
35:13
Jamie and I got into a pretty good
35:14
argument by the end of the show.
35:18
And I just want to say, like,
35:20
one of my frustrations is that God forbid
35:26
we change anything about stuff in
35:30
CrossFit.
35:31
right other than the season structure
35:34
other than that like are we definitely
35:36
doing that that has I mean you say
35:39
we don't have rails that thing who the
35:41
hell knows where it's going but like I
35:45
brought up the fact that they're bringing
35:47
pairs a pair's option to the open and
35:50
you would have swore I was like destroying
35:53
her open experience
35:57
Did you tell her that Jamie,
35:59
if you're watching right now,
36:01
you don't have to do pairs.
36:03
I did.
36:03
We talked about that.
36:04
Yeah.
36:05
I actually called her an open snob last
36:07
night.
36:10
That's hilarious.
36:13
Oh, I feel like.
36:19
Here's the thing.
36:21
When anybody brings up something new and a
36:23
way to change things up,
36:25
the diehard CrossFitters get all like,
36:28
I don't want it to change.
36:29
I don't want it to change.
36:31
And then they're the first to bitch when
36:34
it doesn't grow.
36:38
If we keep doing the same thing over
36:40
and over again, it ain't going to grow.
36:44
I think that stems from the fact that
36:46
it's been changing constantly.
36:49
Like the season structure has never been
36:50
the same year to year over and over
36:52
and over again.
36:52
So like they're just looking for something
36:54
to just stay the same from this year
36:57
to next year.
36:59
Like before you go to adding stuff,
37:01
can we just have a consistent season from
37:02
one year to the next?
37:04
I think that's probably what most of that
37:05
is.
37:06
I personally don't give a shit.
37:08
As long as I can go from the
37:09
open to quarterfinals to semifinals to the
37:13
games, that's all I care about.
37:16
Period.
37:17
End of story.
37:18
Front to back.
37:19
Don't care about pairs.
37:21
Not doing that.
37:22
I don't care about any other nonsense.
37:25
I want to be able to do the
37:27
open, get to quarterfinals,
37:29
make it to semifinals,
37:30
make it to the games.
37:31
Period.
37:33
That's it.
37:34
All this other extra bullshit that they
37:35
want to add in in the meantime, cool.
37:37
If it works, awesome.
37:40
I'm not interested in it personally,
37:42
but if it gets other people interested in
37:43
it, fantastic.
37:45
But I'm also not going to bitch about
37:47
it.
37:48
I would like to see the same thing
37:49
from year to year.
37:50
That'd be pretty cool.
37:51
But if it's not, it's not.
37:56
I mean, you have no control over it.
37:59
I don't know if they know this or
38:00
not,
38:02
the habitual line stepper,
38:04
the habitual cry babies,
38:08
for lack of a better word,
38:10
they don't give a shit about us being
38:12
mad about it one way or another.
38:14
Clearly.
38:15
Because the one constant has been changed.
38:19
It has been changed over and over and
38:21
over and over again.
38:21
Well, the season structure,
38:26
but if you're Joe CrossFitter...
38:28
If not a competitive athlete like you and
38:31
Jamie and Carolyn,
38:33
but just a person that goes to the
38:34
affiliate four days a week,
38:37
nothing has changed.
38:39
Yeah.
38:42
Other than, like Andrew said,
38:43
from five weeks to three weeks of the
38:46
Open.
38:46
Yep.
38:48
But we are stagnant currently at getting
38:54
people in the Open.
38:58
Right.
38:59
So I'm just looking at the open.
39:00
I'm not even looking.
39:01
The rest of the season for the elite
39:03
athletes should be consistent,
39:06
should stay the same,
39:08
should do all that stuff.
39:09
But to come up with new creative ways
39:11
to bring people into the open,
39:13
I think we need to look outside the
39:14
box.
39:16
Yeah.
39:17
And there are a lot of people.
39:19
I know my first open,
39:20
I was petrified to do the open.
39:24
if I could have done the first one
39:26
with a buddy and like going through the
39:28
experience and said, Oh,
39:29
that was pretty fun next year,
39:31
I'll do it on my own.
39:33
Right.
39:34
I think that would have been,
39:36
and maybe like, because I am Joe,
39:38
I will, I realistically,
39:41
I am never going to the CrossFit games.
39:44
Right.
39:44
That's not my I'm never going to go
39:47
to semifinals, never to any of that.
39:50
So I'm just looking at fun ways to
39:52
join my community during this really cool
39:54
time of the year.
39:56
Well, not with that attitude,
39:57
you're not going to make the games.
39:58
Jesus Christ, dude.
39:59
But it's not even something I want.
40:01
I know.
40:04
That's just my standard response every
40:05
time somebody says,
40:06
I'm not going to do this.
40:07
No, not with that attitude, you won't.
40:09
No, dude, I get it.
40:10
I absolutely get it.
40:11
We have people in the gym right now
40:13
that took a little poking and prodding to
40:17
get them to sign up for the Open
40:18
and whatnot.
40:18
And maybe if they could have done it
40:20
with somebody else first,
40:22
maybe it wouldn't have been quite as,
40:24
like you said, just as scary.
40:25
Because you know...
40:27
You don't know what it feels like going
40:28
in.
40:29
You don't know what the workouts are going
40:30
to be until that day.
40:32
I mean,
40:32
there's a lot of stuff going on.
40:35
And anything can be, I should say,
40:39
less scary if you have somebody to do
40:41
it with.
40:44
The big fear from them last night was
40:47
that it's going to mess up their
40:48
leaderboard.
40:51
I hope to God they're not putting pairs
40:54
anywhere near the individual leaderboard.
41:00
It should have its own separate
41:02
leaderboard.
41:04
And like Andrew said,
41:05
there's not even a lot of details about
41:06
it.
41:08
So we don't even know what it looks
41:10
like.
41:13
Let's not be scared of the thing that
41:15
we don't even know what it is yet.
41:18
Or worried about it or whatnot.
41:20
And I'm one hundred billion percent...
41:24
I would never understand anybody who's
41:27
like, well, this is stupid.
41:28
You don't even know what it is.
41:30
How can you call it one thing or
41:32
another if you don't know what it is?
41:34
That blows my mind completely.
41:37
This is going to be dumb.
41:38
And look, I've said it myself,
41:40
and I get it.
41:40
I'm not taking myself out of that by
41:42
any stretch of the imagination.
41:43
I've heard stuff before with very little
41:45
details and just automatically dismissed
41:47
it as being stupid.
41:48
Sure.
41:49
A hundred percent.
41:51
But when stuff like this,
41:52
like when you look at it from a
41:54
thousand foot view, a hundred foot view,
41:56
whatever you want to call it,
41:57
there's no way in no universe does it
42:00
make sense that if I'm on the leaderboard
42:03
and Scott and Vicky on the leaderboard as
42:05
a team,
42:06
that I should have to compete against both
42:07
Scott and Vicky at the same time.
42:09
That's what crazy people
42:13
Right.
42:14
Like that's not going to happen.
42:15
So who cares?
42:16
Like it's,
42:17
it's not going to affect your season
42:18
whatsoever.
42:19
You know,
42:20
you might have to accommodate some people
42:21
by having,
42:23
or we're going to get a split the
42:24
work.
42:24
However,
42:24
they got to split it for in your
42:26
gym for them doing the open.
42:27
But other than that, who gives a damn?
42:31
Yep.
42:36
So the other radical thing I brought up
42:37
last night and Carolyn, um,
42:39
was very defensive of this one.
42:41
And again,
42:41
I love both of them and I love
42:43
the different perspectives and why we have
42:45
the discussion.
42:46
So this isn't an attack on them at
42:47
all.
42:50
Is that I loved water Palooza,
42:53
SoCal so much because it was so different.
42:57
We've gotten so much redundancy and,
43:00
in the individual competitive season that
43:03
i was like wouldn't it be cool to
43:05
do like a little mini series in the
43:07
off season so the athletes can actually
43:10
get a break and doing team doesn't beat
43:13
up the body like doing another ten event
43:15
individual comp or
43:18
right and if in thinking about it
43:23
overnight like everybody was relaxed and
43:26
hanging out with the fans and giving a
43:29
good experience for not only themselves
43:32
the viewers but for the people in
43:33
attendance to be able to meet their
43:35
favorite crossfitter do do those kinds of
43:38
things
43:40
I said add sponsors where like Jim Rebers
43:44
makes a team,
43:45
RX Smart Gear makes a team,
43:47
Victory Grips makes a team.
43:49
And then you compete in this little mini
43:51
series.
43:52
You put some good money behind it so
43:55
it's worth their while.
43:57
Instead of all these individual comps in
44:00
the fall,
44:01
they kind of start merging together.
44:04
And it's just redundancy for the
44:06
spectator.
44:07
And I think why attendance is being driven
44:09
down.
44:10
Give them something different to look at.
44:13
So bring back Rogue versus again Fasten?
44:16
Sure.
44:17
I think, honestly,
44:19
I think SoCal did such a good job
44:21
with format and JR's programming and
44:24
making it a different, like the example,
44:26
like JR talked about in the behind the
44:28
scenes,
44:29
every individual CrossFit event starts
44:31
with a long run.
44:37
To get the jitters out,
44:39
to do that we know, whatever.
44:41
This comp started with a skills
44:43
competition
44:45
That, like,
44:46
you had to subside the nerves of unbroken
44:49
triple-unders, unbroken handstand holds.
44:53
Like,
44:54
it really put them to the test right
44:57
off the bat.
44:58
Yeah.
44:58
As opposed to, let's go run six miles.
45:00
Right.
45:02
It just was different.
45:04
Make them uncomfortable.
45:05
The same format.
45:08
Right?
45:09
Yeah.
45:09
I like that a lot.
45:10
Good job.
45:11
Hey, JR, if you're listening, I love it.
45:13
Make them uncomfortable right off the bat.
45:16
And the beauty of this team is you
45:18
subbed people in and out for an event,
45:22
right?
45:22
Not during an event like Grid League,
45:25
but like for an event,
45:27
these people were assigned to do this
45:29
aspect.
45:30
So they're not all six going at the
45:32
same time or all four going at the
45:34
same time, whichever format you're at.
45:38
And there was very little worm.
45:40
Worm is not fun to watch.
45:44
Not even when Danielle Brand is yelling at
45:45
her team because they dropped it.
45:48
The only worm that is fun to watch
45:49
is the broken worm with the rope in
45:52
between.
45:53
Because if you don't get it right,
45:54
you pay.
45:56
And you pay dearly.
45:57
Once it starts falling, it starts falling.
46:02
And it will throw a person.
46:04
Yeah.
46:04
That one actually is fun to watch.
46:09
But all the athletes are going, oh,
46:12
we're competing too much.
46:13
I need time off.
46:15
This is an opportunity to have a little
46:17
bit of break in your season and do
46:20
something fun and get out there and meet
46:22
the fans.
46:25
And still put some money in your pocket
46:27
if you win.
46:29
And gym reapers can say, hey,
46:31
I've got this team.
46:33
You can do some promotion around that.
46:35
You can give your own videographer time to
46:39
film your team doing your stuff in your
46:41
clothes.
46:46
It makes too much sense.
46:47
So it'll never happen.
46:51
Well, I mean,
46:53
they'd also be fighting for...
46:56
athletes at that point, right?
46:58
Because a lot of them are sponsored by
47:00
the same people.
47:04
A lot of them have multiple sponsors.
47:06
They just pick one to go with or
47:08
that's what I'm saying.
47:08
So, you know,
47:11
Um,
47:12
or X more gear and I'm called up
47:13
Hopper and Hopper's like, Oh,
47:15
I just got off the phone with,
47:17
you know, whoever.
47:19
Uh, yeah,
47:20
they already locked me up with this thing.
47:21
So I'll be representing them instead of
47:23
y'all.
47:23
I'm representing tier.
47:24
So I can't represent you.
47:26
I can't represent you at this,
47:28
at this particular thing.
47:28
I actually think that would add to it
47:30
because then you got to start going down
47:31
the roster and finding some other people
47:33
and giving them some opportunities to be
47:34
able to do that kind of stuff too.
47:36
And again, college recruiting.
47:38
Yeah, and now NIL comes into play.
47:40
It's a whole thing at that point.
47:44
Again, it'll never work because,
47:46
like Romero said,
47:47
that makes entirely too much sense.
47:48
And I do agree with Lito.
47:49
It can only be, I would say,
47:51
four or five teams.
47:54
You want the floor to be as pristine
47:57
as possible without a lot of junk on
47:59
it.
48:00
And that's the other thing.
48:01
A ten-lane team competition is impossible
48:03
to watch.
48:05
There's too much stuff going on.
48:07
It's too much stuff.
48:09
There's a call.
48:11
You got ten people or ten teams with
48:13
four people out there.
48:14
That's forty people out there that you got
48:16
to keep trying to keep track of all
48:17
at the same time.
48:19
There's no idea.
48:20
I'll say there's no way.
48:21
I'm sure Bill could probably handle it.
48:23
He's been doing team stuff for a long
48:24
time, but that's a lot.
48:27
It is.
48:30
But I think it just gives us something
48:32
different to watch in the fall season as
48:35
opposed to the main season.
48:37
Yeah, something that's not Rogue.
48:39
And it has that F-One NASCAR feel.
48:42
Like in F-One,
48:44
you have the Drivers' Championship and you
48:46
have the Constructors' Championship.
48:49
And actually,
48:49
an F-One Constructors' Championship means
48:52
more than the Drivers' Championship.
48:55
That's the team championship.
48:56
Right.
48:57
So like Mercedes wins or McLaren wins or
49:00
Red Bull wins.
49:01
That means more than Lando Norris or Max
49:05
Verstappen or George Russell.
49:09
Right.
49:11
And they make more money winning the
49:13
Constructors Cup than they do the drivers.
49:17
So.
49:20
Lito says, I hate the worm.
49:21
Lito,
49:21
I had to do the worm for the
49:22
first time ever at Fitness to the Coast
49:25
last year.
49:25
And we practiced it in the warm-up area
49:28
with me and my partner,
49:29
who was actually shorter than I am, which,
49:31
as anybody who's ever met me in person
49:32
understands that that's actually a thing.
49:36
And in the warm-up area, it felt great.
49:38
Right?
49:39
Let's go.
49:40
And it was echo bike and then thrusters.
49:42
Well, worm thrusters, echo bike,
49:43
thrusters.
49:43
It was like three rounds, whatever.
49:45
You had to complete so many.
49:47
And...
49:49
without fail every time we picked up the
49:51
worm i got most of it and anna
49:55
got not and she was like she's like
49:58
i don't know why you're so tired it
50:00
felt really good and i was like well
50:01
i got most of the weight so that's
50:04
probably why i was wasted dude i thought
50:07
i was gonna throw up first time that's
50:09
happening quite some time well
50:14
We'll talk about that at this at another
50:16
time, I'm sure.
50:16
But I, I just like the idea.
50:19
The last thing I just want to leave
50:20
you with is I was watching Rich Eisen
50:24
had Stallone on yesterday.
50:28
Yeah.
50:29
And he does this thing called factor
50:31
fiction where he sees a rumor that he
50:34
sees on the internet and he asked them,
50:36
is it true or not?
50:38
And so he said,
50:39
is it true that in filming Rocky four,
50:41
uh,
50:42
that Dolph Lundgren hit you so hard you
50:44
ended up in the hospital?
50:47
He said yes.
50:49
That is true.
50:51
I didn't know that Dolph Lundgren was a
50:53
world champion kickboxer.
50:54
Kickboxer.
50:55
Mm-hmm.
50:56
Dude, Dolph Lundgren,
50:59
he is probably one of the most
51:00
underestimated or underrated just human
51:03
beings on the planet.
51:04
He's not just an actor.
51:06
He was a kickboxer, a martial artist,
51:10
a bodybuilder.
51:11
He's also a nuclear physicist,
51:13
if I'm not mistaken.
51:14
He's got some sort of ridiculous advanced
51:15
degree from MIT.
51:17
um like he's incredibly smart he's nine
51:20
feet tall he's like three percent body fat
51:23
it's not fair god was like you know
51:25
what that dude give him all the things
51:29
just give him all the things and i
51:31
should have known because in showdown in
51:33
little tokyo he uses a lot of martial
51:36
arts that is one of my favorite movies
51:38
of all time
51:42
Talk about like,
51:43
we talked about Cobra being awesome.
51:45
Showdown in Little Tokyo is as awesome as
51:49
that.
51:49
And maybe the writing may be about as
51:52
juvenile as possible.
51:53
It's pretty close.
51:55
It's pretty close.
51:56
It looks like a fifteen-year-old got a
51:58
hold of the script and was like,
52:00
I'm going to make this palatable to all
52:02
children.
52:02
Let me find as many ways to make
52:04
them fight as I can.
52:07
Yes.
52:08
Kung fu, kung fu, kung fu,
52:11
kung fu rules.
52:12
All day long.
52:13
All day, every day.
52:15
God,
52:15
I haven't thought about that movie in a
52:16
while.
52:17
But anyway, so I didn't know that,
52:20
but Stallone had seen the Hearns-Hagler
52:24
fight and saw how much they hated each
52:26
other and how aggressive they were at the
52:28
beginning of the fight.
52:30
So he told Dolph that Drago and Rocky
52:35
hated each other so much,
52:36
he wanted him to come out and do
52:38
the same thing,
52:39
just go ballistic on him for the first
52:41
twenty seconds.
52:45
and he punched him in the ribs and
52:47
he said i felt like it caved in
52:51
and then we finished filming and that
52:52
night like all of my measurables were off
52:56
the chart he said they flew me low
52:59
altitude to a hospital er and they
53:04
admitted him he was in the hospital for
53:05
eight days with a in uh enlarged
53:12
pericardial
53:14
Yeah.
53:15
And the doctor said they only see that
53:17
in car accidents.
53:19
Yeah.
53:19
Yeah.
53:20
It's some sort of inflamed something or
53:22
another that he basically got swelling on
53:24
the inside of his body from where Dolph
53:25
hit him.
53:26
And yeah, they don't,
53:27
doctors only see that.
53:29
That's, I'm glad he asked him about that.
53:31
And that gets out more because I'd read
53:33
that somewhere.
53:33
Cause Stallone said the same thing,
53:35
like in an interview,
53:36
something I had read transcribed,
53:38
but I'm glad it's only something where you
53:39
can actually listen to him say it now
53:40
because yeah,
53:42
good night, dude.
53:43
That is absolutely insane.
53:45
FYI.
53:47
I'm glad that Stallone said it himself
53:49
because you read all these things on the
53:50
internet and you never know what's true
53:52
and what's not.
53:53
Yes, that's what I was trying to say.
53:56
For Stallone to actually verify it all is
54:00
pretty incredible.
54:01
If you haven't seen it,
54:03
go check it out on YouTube.
54:06
He also talks about the fight he had
54:09
with the director of the original First
54:11
Blood.
54:14
Because Rambo was supposed to die.
54:17
Yeah.
54:18
The book, right?
54:21
Yeah.
54:22
And Stallone says,
54:23
because he did research with veterans
54:25
before he did it.
54:26
And after meeting with the veterans,
54:28
he said, I can't do that.
54:30
We can't kill Rambo.
54:31
We can't just kill him off.
54:35
And the original version of First Blood
54:37
was three hours long.
54:39
I didn't know that.
54:41
I did know that,
54:42
which I'm glad it's not because I will
54:45
be completely honest, the first Rambo,
54:46
not super exciting to watch.
54:49
No.
54:49
It's really, really not.
54:50
It's a lot more drama than it is
54:51
anything else.
54:52
And the original version had ninety more
54:54
minutes of him in the woods.
54:56
Of him just in the woods.
54:57
Yeah, basically.
54:58
Just camping.
55:02
Basically,
55:03
it's like three more hours of him camping
55:05
and brooding and thinking about Vietnam.
55:06
Yeah, no thanks.
55:11
Stallone hated the original version so
55:13
much, he offered to buy the movie back.
55:19
And they told him no, and he said,
55:21
then at least let me edit it.
55:23
Yeah, if nothing else,
55:25
just let me fix it.
55:27
And so he took it from three hours
55:28
to ninety-one minutes.
55:31
Cut it in half.
55:33
bananas he's so underrated as like a
55:37
director writer like he's a i love him
55:43
as an actor but let's be honest like
55:45
he's not the thespian of some of our
55:48
actors no he's definitely uh but he wrote
55:53
the scripts for a lot of his movies
55:56
yeah he did i want to say like
55:59
even even though the
56:01
that isn't that recent anymore but like
56:03
the more recent stuff like the expendables
56:04
and stuff like that which is super fun
56:06
to watch i'm pretty sure he wrote that
56:09
and or directed well let's be honest those
56:12
probably didn't take a whole lot of brain
56:14
power to write
56:16
no but it was a good concept like
56:17
and let's bring all these old action
56:19
heroes back and like team them all up
56:21
or whatnot when chuck norris showed up in
56:23
the was that the second one i think
56:24
it was yeah people lost their minds in
56:27
the theaters like holy smokes and then
56:29
they started doing chuck norris jokes like
56:31
while he was there dude that's amazing and
56:35
i was wait i kept waiting on the
56:36
new ones to come out to see who
56:37
they would end up adding like okay who's
56:40
gonna be in the next one who's gonna
56:41
be in the next one it's a great
56:42
concept
56:45
Stallone changed the whole movie.
56:46
The original script had Stallone as a true
56:48
villain.
56:49
That original concept was later used for
56:51
the movie The Hunted with Tommy Lee Jones
56:54
and Benicio del Toro.
56:56
Benicio del Toro.
56:59
That's essentially...
57:01
Without saying all of that, Mike,
57:03
that's essentially what Stallone was
57:04
saying.
57:05
He actually walked off the set.
57:08
They had to bring him back months later
57:09
because he... He just...
57:13
He said the director was so pissed,
57:17
he destroyed the set in an anger rage.
57:22
And Sloan just walked away.
57:24
And three months later,
57:25
they finally talked him into coming back.
57:27
So I was like, nope,
57:29
I had enough of that.
57:29
That's good stuff.
57:34
All right, guys.
57:36
With that, we're going to head out.
57:39
Deuces later.
57:41
I wouldn't wait to get to the editing
57:42
room to jazz me up.
57:45
I'm already jazzy.
57:56
From the gym to the screen, yeah,
57:59
we covered it all.
58:09
Midday motivation every time you press
58:11
