Lunch with the Clydesdale - Wednesday Show | The Redaction Reaction as Mayhem Releases Event 1 · Clydesdale Media Podcast

0:02
Well,
0:03
after all the tussle the last couple of
0:04
weeks or a couple of days about people
0:07
getting their invites,
0:09
I might be getting one now.
0:22
I love the chase and the hunt and
0:23
I set the pace when I'm running.
0:25
I always take what I want and I
0:27
always give it one hundred.
0:28
Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.
0:29
Play the game like it's nothing.
0:31
I'm always thankful for something.
0:32
Don't take for granted, stay humble.
0:34
Now wake up!
0:35
It's time to look at the enemy.
0:38
Look in the mirror if he is no
0:40
friend to me.
0:41
It's not working out,
0:42
maybe it's the chemistry.
0:43
It's time to break up so I can
0:45
make a better me.
0:50
It's lunch time.
0:52
what is going on everybody welcome to
0:54
lunch with the Clydesdale it is a
0:57
Wednesday we are halfway through the week
1:01
getting stronger and stronger every day
1:04
and uh feeling pretty good uh last night
1:08
I caught up on two glintons podcasts I
1:13
watched the savant podcast with them
1:19
very informational about what's going on
1:21
in the drama and all of that kind
1:25
of stuff.
1:26
But the one I really,
1:27
really enjoyed was the Ali Zerkey
1:29
interview.
1:30
Oh, dude.
1:30
Ali's amazing.
1:32
Yeah, I mean, again,
1:36
I knew Colton way back.
1:37
Right.
1:38
And I got to hang out with him
1:40
and him and Allie or her and Colton
1:46
after Granite Games in twenty two with Ken
1:49
Walters.
1:50
Like just those names and putting them
1:54
together.
1:58
it's like this weird psychedelic trip.
2:03
Uh, Ken Walters, Ali Zerkey, Colton Ernst,
2:05
and Scott Switzer walked into a bar.
2:09
Just go ahead and let that wash over
2:10
you for a little bit.
2:14
Uh, and, uh,
2:17
And so, like, I love Allie.
2:19
And she hung out with Jamie and I
2:21
at the Pasadena semifinals a couple years
2:25
ago.
2:26
And she's just a tremendous,
2:28
tremendous woman.
2:29
And it was so,
2:31
so much fun listening to her tell the
2:35
origin story, her origin story.
2:39
I've had her on the podcast,
2:40
but it's always been with Colton.
2:43
Right.
2:46
The Glintons killed it, man.
2:47
I should have had her on long ago.
2:51
Absolutely.
2:53
They are very,
2:53
very good at what they do,
2:55
which is just having just regular
2:57
conversations,
2:58
getting to know people type stuff.
3:00
And it's entertaining to watch.
3:03
They have fun with people.
3:05
It's not static.
3:06
It's not what's your favorite color type
3:08
shit.
3:10
It's fun to watch.
3:12
Well, and I think I said this.
3:15
Where I really fell in love with the
3:16
Glintons is when I was driving from Albany
3:19
to Columbus,
3:20
Ohio after the games last year.
3:23
And...
3:25
They,
3:26
they are such fans of the sport and
3:28
the athletes.
3:30
It reminds me of why I loved what
3:32
I loved.
3:33
Right.
3:34
It gets,
3:34
it gets my head out of all of
3:36
that weird bullshit,
3:38
the drama that surrounds it all.
3:41
And like,
3:41
just takes you right down to the root
3:43
of pure fandom.
3:44
Sure.
3:46
And that's why,
3:46
and that's why I continue to listen to
3:49
them because they bring that joy to every
3:52
interview.
3:54
They actually want,
3:55
they're not interviewing people because
3:57
they're the hot thing at the moment.
3:58
They're interviewing people that they want
4:00
to talk to and you can tell.
4:02
Like they're having conversations with
4:04
people and they're, like you said,
4:05
they're excited to talk about or to talk
4:08
to and they really want to be in
4:11
it.
4:11
And they are in the moment and it's
4:14
fun to watch.
4:14
It's fun to watch.
4:15
It's fun to listen to.
4:17
And then doing the live workouts with the
4:20
community.
4:22
Another home run.
4:23
Yeah.
4:25
I know they're trying to get to like
4:26
a thousand followers on Instagram so they
4:29
can go live with stuff.
4:32
Get them there, man.
4:33
Go follow the Gartons on Instagram.
4:35
Get them up over a thousand.
4:37
And speaking of numbers, we are two.
4:42
Two subscribers away from three grand.
4:45
Two.
4:47
Just one and then two.
4:51
Be those people.
4:53
If you're listening right now and you're
4:55
not a subscriber, be those people.
4:58
Get us over the hump, please.
5:00
We are at twenty two ninety eight.
5:02
Twenty nine ninety eight.
5:03
Twenty nine ninety eight.
5:07
So cool.
5:09
Joseph says it feels like Savon got a
5:11
lot off his chest last night.
5:17
it doesn't surprise me,
5:19
but it came across as like,
5:22
like a disappointed dad.
5:24
Sure.
5:27
Like, cause he kept saying like,
5:29
I didn't even see it coming and I
5:31
didn't.
5:31
And, and maybe that's on me and me,
5:34
you know, like, and it,
5:35
and it wasn't like he was angry or
5:37
it, he never said this.
5:40
He never said this,
5:41
but to me it felt like he was
5:42
just hurt.
5:43
Yeah.
5:44
was hurt that this thing that he had
5:46
that he thought was like so cool and
5:49
so tight and all of that um fell
5:53
apart under his watch and under his nose
5:56
and it was right there and he seemed
5:58
to have just not caught the signs yeah
6:02
like when he's talking about tyler
6:06
That's the vibe I got too.
6:07
It's like I never saw it and he
6:11
feels bad for it because he doesn't want
6:13
anybody to feel like that.
6:14
The dude's
6:17
He's a really nice person.
6:19
He's a good human being and he doesn't
6:21
want anybody to feel like that.
6:23
Like they're not being heard and feels
6:26
like it and have it be on behalf
6:27
of him.
6:29
Right.
6:29
That's, that's not his deal whatsoever.
6:31
So yeah, no, the,
6:32
the parts of it I got to listen
6:33
to, uh, which is probably about the first.
6:37
Forty-five minutes or so that that's how
6:38
it was coming off of me as well.
6:41
seemed cathartic.
6:42
It also seemed like there,
6:43
it gave him some self-reflection to look
6:45
at how he was coasting.
6:48
Is that how we put it?
6:50
And that it was, he shouldn't have been,
6:52
he should have been like recruiting and
6:55
trying to keep things fresh and stuff all
6:57
along.
6:58
And this just forced him to get back
7:01
into that.
7:02
Let's get some new talent.
7:04
Let's.
7:06
So yeah, it was,
7:07
it was a great interview too.
7:08
I really enjoyed both.
7:11
they're just killing it over there.
7:15
And then Joseph is doing semis live on
7:17
the channel as well.
7:21
Joseph, at this point,
7:22
you might get an invitation to Legends,
7:25
so keep an eye on your email.
7:28
Yeah, if you have not seen this already,
7:36
the Barbell Spin put this out.
7:37
Sixteen days until Legends kicks off.
7:41
And there are three hundred and five
7:42
roster spots yet to be filled.
7:48
What is crazy is.
7:51
The elite men's field like we've been
7:54
bitching about the Masters invites all
7:58
week.
7:59
The elite men's field only has six
8:01
registered athletes.
8:04
Three go to the games.
8:08
Now,
8:09
it's like Dallin and James and Tudor and
8:12
Roman.
8:13
Like,
8:13
it's still going to be tough to get
8:15
one of the three.
8:16
But you got a fifty-fifty shot.
8:23
So, just crazy, man.
8:30
Crazy.
8:31
There are four age groups that have one
8:34
registered athlete.
8:37
Jesus.
8:44
So I made a comment.
8:46
So if you didn't catch it yesterday,
8:49
my little mini riff got clipped by Jenny,
8:53
put out on Dense Updates.
8:55
And then Megan Apostolaris made a comment.
8:58
I commented back.
9:00
And her argument was that quarterfinals
9:02
aren't finished.
9:05
I can get behind that a little bit
9:08
on the elite athlete level.
9:10
Right.
9:11
But I know damn well nobody at CrossFit
9:15
is asking for a video from a Masters
9:17
athlete.
9:20
And so just say the Masters are done
9:24
and that the Masters are final and give
9:28
these two entities the list of people to
9:32
start...
9:34
Now, elites,
9:35
maybe they are going to dive into some
9:37
videos.
9:37
I've heard that they've asked for some
9:39
from elite athletes,
9:41
but I haven't heard a single Masters
9:43
athlete get a request for a video.
9:46
Nobody I know has,
9:47
and I'm in several different tech groups
9:49
at this point with pretty high-level
9:50
Masters athletes,
9:51
and nobody I know has asked for any.
9:57
Tristan in the house,
9:59
why would someone go?
10:00
You have to go beat three out of
10:01
six multiple time games vets with no one
10:05
in the field to middle.
10:09
I get that argument, Tristan.
10:12
Yeah, I understand that argument.
10:15
But at the same time,
10:18
why wouldn't you go?
10:21
it's valuable on the field experience
10:22
versus games athletes that you're trying
10:24
to be one of.
10:26
So yeah, I get as expensive.
10:28
Believe me.
10:29
I just, we just,
10:30
even Birmingham is not cheap,
10:32
believe it or not.
10:33
We just booked our Airbnb last night.
10:36
Um, so I understand that, but like,
10:40
I gotta, I gotta be,
10:41
I gotta be top two to be able
10:42
to get it to, to,
10:43
to punch a ticket.
10:44
And I'm still going because I want the,
10:46
I want the, I want the on,
10:49
I want the experience.
10:50
I want to go against as high-level people
10:52
as I possibly can every single time.
10:55
Here's my argument back to him as well,
10:57
is if you're an elite athlete and you
11:00
want to be an elite athlete,
11:01
you have to go up against elite
11:02
competition.
11:03
Correct.
11:05
To go there,
11:06
I can see that for maybe if you're
11:08
six, seven, and eight in the field.
11:11
But if you're thirteen, sixteen,
11:13
twenty-two,
11:14
and you get an opportunity to go up
11:16
against the best and see where you stand,
11:18
damn well you should be getting there.
11:22
These opportunities don't come around
11:24
every day anymore.
11:25
All the off-season shit is by invite.
11:35
Yeah.
11:36
Like, if I'm Colton, like, yeah,
11:40
you want to pick your shots, right?
11:42
Because you don't want to go to every
11:43
single big event, right?
11:48
Colton's probably a bad example when it
11:49
comes to that because he would go to
11:51
every single event.
11:57
True.
11:57
Scott, it becomes games, athlete,
11:58
fantasy camp.
12:00
Yes.
12:01
Sure.
12:01
What's wrong with that?
12:03
What is one element you need to be
12:05
a great athlete?
12:06
Competition experience.
12:08
High-level competition experience.
12:11
Corey has been telling you guys for a
12:14
year that his goal was to get to
12:16
an in-person semi,
12:18
to go up against the best,
12:19
to have that in-person experience,
12:24
to make him a better athlete.
12:28
I don't get that from going to my
12:30
local cops around here.
12:33
I just don't.
12:33
David Johnson lives nowhere near me.
12:36
Not often I get a chance to take
12:37
the floor against him.
12:41
I mean, period.
12:42
This is what Carolyn nails it.
12:44
This is exactly what I'm saying.
12:45
If you're an elite athlete and you're
12:47
close to qualifying,
12:48
you'll be picky on which one.
12:49
If you know you aren't qualifying,
12:51
pick a semifinal to have the experience
12:54
and say you competed against the elite
12:56
athletes.
12:57
And you'll be better for it in years
12:59
to come.
13:00
Yep.
13:02
Well said, Carolyn.
13:04
To be the best,
13:05
you have to beat the best.
13:07
Or at least run with them.
13:09
Look at that picture of Larry.
13:10
Damn.
13:12
That's a sexy man right there.
13:14
That's a whole lot of dude.
13:21
Maybe just doing stuff's expensive now and
13:23
people ain't got the cash.
13:27
It's always been expensive.
13:29
when you get into this sport, you know,
13:31
things are expensive.
13:33
If you want to be an elite athlete
13:35
at some point in your career, you know,
13:38
you're going to have to pay some money.
13:42
We're not talking about,
13:44
we're not talking about Jimmy Smith over
13:46
here at CrossFit Polaris,
13:48
who comes in at the six AM class.
13:50
We're talking about people who have
13:52
registered for these things,
13:53
done the quarterfinals and done very well
13:57
to get to the,
13:59
and try to get to a place where
14:01
they are an elite athlete and yes three
14:07
and five spots is a whole lot when
14:10
you look at the entire entirety of the
14:11
competition right it's not just elites
14:13
it's all the masters divisions that are
14:15
going as well that they are looking to
14:18
invite
14:20
Whoever's running their social media
14:22
responded to Spin's thing and said,
14:25
we appreciate the fact that everybody's
14:26
worried about it.
14:27
But as soon as we get our stuff
14:28
out,
14:29
we're sending out the rest of the invites,
14:31
whatever that ends up look like,
14:33
assuring people that they will, in fact,
14:35
get filled up.
14:38
I don't have any reason not to believe
14:39
that.
14:41
Even though it's on short notice, right?
14:44
Well, as soon as, uh,
14:46
the scores were alive and I saw what
14:47
my quarterfinal score was,
14:48
I started looking at places to stay in
14:51
Birmingham,
14:52
even though I didn't have an invite simply
14:54
because I thought I might be able to
14:55
get an invite.
14:58
So it's not that hard to book a
15:02
place and then, oh wait,
15:03
I'm not actually going and then unbook a
15:05
place.
15:07
Always expensive is different than now.
15:09
Can't just hop on a thirty nine dollar
15:10
want to get away flight anymore.
15:13
That was not a scam anyway.
15:14
There's only like two thirty nine dollar
15:15
seats on the whole plane.
15:18
I get an email from Southwest about at
15:22
least once or twice a day.
15:23
Sometimes ask me if I want to get
15:25
away for forty dollars and I'm like,
15:26
I just can't see myself getting on a
15:28
plane for a forty dollar ticket.
15:30
Where are you going to take me from
15:31
New Orleans to Baton Rouge?
15:33
Like that doesn't seem like it's going to
15:34
get you real far.
15:38
How do you feel about the age groups
15:39
with just one in their division competing
15:41
and getting a spot?
15:42
Well,
15:42
hopefully that changes over the next.
15:45
Sixteen days.
15:47
Right.
15:47
But if that happens, that is absurd.
15:51
And what that truly will mean,
15:53
Shanna is age groups.
15:55
Won't get an in-person semi anymore.
15:57
Correct.
16:00
Which would be.
16:02
Sad.
16:03
And in my opinion, a travesty.
16:07
I have been the biggest supporter of the
16:09
age group divisions.
16:13
And I want all of this for them.
16:18
But you have to take advantage of it
16:20
when the opportunity comes or those
16:21
opportunities will go away.
16:24
Yep.
16:27
These comps are expensive, though.
16:28
They used to be two hundred ish and
16:30
the games was two fifty.
16:31
Now the semis are all four hundred plus
16:33
and coaches don't even have a free pass
16:35
to enter.
16:36
That is insane.
16:37
completely ridiculous silly absolutely
16:39
silly it does get expensive though and
16:44
we've talked about this in the past this
16:45
is another one of my many rants that
16:47
i've gone off on it's we own they're
16:51
only looking at one avenue for revenue
16:54
and that is people signing up to do
16:56
their event.
16:57
Instead of trying to get as many people
16:58
in the building and use alternative
17:00
sources of revenue,
17:02
like if you can guarantee people,
17:05
thousands of people in your venue,
17:08
you'll get more booths and vendors to pay
17:11
for that.
17:12
They'll be more successful,
17:14
and then that will create a churn where
17:17
everybody's making more money.
17:19
But the...
17:24
event coordinators with the blinders on
17:27
only see two paths of revenue.
17:29
And that is ticket sales where they charge
17:33
an ungodly amount to come in for the
17:34
weekend and charging the athletes, uh,
17:38
to come do their event.
17:42
I will say that more, uh,
17:44
majesty games are not expensive,
17:46
but it didn't seem like it.
17:47
When I looked at them,
17:48
I didn't buy them yet.
17:49
Cause I'm not sure if my wife's actually
17:50
gonna make it or not.
17:51
But, um, weekend pass was,
17:55
Seventy five bucks, maybe.
17:57
I don't remember.
17:58
I'd have to go back and look.
17:59
See, that's not bad.
18:00
Last year's age group games were like I
18:03
was a couple hundred dollars.
18:07
I could be completely wrong with that
18:08
number before somebody tells me I'm an
18:09
idiot.
18:12
I looked at it briefly whenever I signed
18:13
my stuff up and I just didn't buy
18:15
any because I don't know.
18:16
I don't actually know if she's gonna be
18:17
able to make it or not.
18:19
Alita says, in fairness,
18:20
the French showdown was only two hundred
18:21
pounds for three days.
18:28
this started happening in bodybuilding and
18:30
Olympic lifting.
18:31
And then the,
18:32
those events wouldn't actually be
18:33
qualified to send someone further need a
18:36
minimum number in the field.
18:41
Is masters having an in-person qualifier,
18:44
a folly at this point,
18:45
spectator field for masters is like the
18:47
crowd at the D two baseball championship,
18:50
friends and family.
18:52
I will tell you cross fat at the
18:54
age group games last year,
18:56
I thought there were more people watching
18:58
that than were at elite semis.
19:04
And the price was ungodly expensive.
19:08
Yeah.
19:11
But then again,
19:11
the Masters have a lot more friends and
19:13
family.
19:14
Two of my best friends and his wife
19:17
are coming.
19:17
We're staying at the same Airbnb place.
19:21
If my wife's feeling up to it because
19:24
she's having surgery the week before she's
19:25
coming, or my son,
19:27
I'm going to have at least,
19:29
at the very minimum,
19:30
a two-person tear injection,
19:32
probably more than that.
19:33
And then one of my good friends lives
19:34
in Birmingham.
19:36
He's a cop up there,
19:37
so I assume he's probably going to be
19:38
there.
19:39
So, like, I mean, I hope so.
19:44
Everyone says Toledo,
19:46
and that's why Europeans sell out better
19:49
their venues than North America.
19:53
yeah um so that's happening we also have
20:04
mayhem released their number one workout
20:08
this is the second release but it's a
20:10
workout one did i say that right wrong
20:13
no i think that's right second one day
20:15
release but actual workout one that's
20:17
right i said it the more the most
20:18
complicated way i could yeah i mean
20:23
Here it is.
20:25
It's a five K run, but,
20:26
and it seems little,
20:30
but there's redacted information below the
20:33
five K run, including the location.
20:40
I love this.
20:42
I can't say that enough.
20:45
Is it by five K do they mean
20:47
five kilometers or five thousand feet of
20:50
running?
20:51
Because that's been a thing in the past.
20:55
I don't know.
20:57
I we talk about all the like that
21:00
CrossFit released all the quarterfinal
21:02
workouts a week early,
21:03
but you couldn't do them until the
21:04
Thursday.
21:05
Oh, yeah.
21:06
Yeah, I'm sure.
21:07
I'm sure everybody just stuck right to
21:09
that.
21:11
Here we have an event releasing a workout
21:15
a week and a half early,
21:17
but they only gave you a taste.
21:21
So you know you're going to run.
21:25
You know you're going to run,
21:26
but you don't know all the details.
21:29
I like how it's two lines redacted
21:32
underneath five K like.
21:36
Maybe one of them is a decoy,
21:37
like a red herring.
21:39
We put two lines underneath there.
21:41
It's really going to make people think
21:42
that there's some extra stuff in there.
21:48
Isn't that what makes all this fun?
21:50
Yeah, no, a hundred percent.
21:51
I like it.
21:52
Everybody's going to speculate for the
21:54
next week and a half on what's underneath
21:58
those three lines.
21:59
I love it.
22:03
Location.
22:04
Let's be honest.
22:07
It's a simple move that CrossFit could
22:09
have taken advantage of during
22:10
quarterfinals.
22:11
Redacted one line or two lines from every
22:14
workout.
22:17
You kind of know what you got to
22:18
get into affiliates.
22:19
You know,
22:19
you got to use these pieces of equipment,
22:22
but.
22:24
Well, in years past,
22:25
they would give us just the floor layout.
22:29
I remember that specifically.
22:31
Hey,
22:32
here's the floor layouts for all these
22:33
workouts.
22:33
We'll give you the rep schemes and weights
22:35
and all that stuff times later on this
22:38
week.
22:38
But here's what you can expect to have
22:40
to set up at the very least.
22:43
Henshaw did the measuring and he did it
22:46
four times.
22:50
I measured it four times and it was
22:52
wrong all four times.
22:54
Just wanted to let y'all know that.
22:58
Um,
23:00
the second line says brought to you by
23:01
mayhem hunt.
23:04
See, I think that would be awesome though.
23:06
Yeah, that would be awesome.
23:10
Uh, it would be nice if,
23:13
if events would stop releasing workouts
23:14
early enough for people to do them
23:16
multiple times.
23:17
I like this.
23:19
I don't just like this, David Johnson.
23:21
I love this.
23:21
Yeah, I agree.
23:25
I absolutely agree.
23:30
I hope those laser guns aren't involved.
23:32
I hope they are involved.
23:34
Let's bring that back.
23:36
Accuracy.
23:37
Pew, pew, pew.
23:43
I can't run through the woods.
23:44
Josh Bridges is involved with that now,
23:45
and him and Rich have beef.
23:48
Or they used to have beef.
23:49
I don't know.
23:51
They used to be friends.
23:52
Now they're not friends, maybe.
23:54
I don't know.
23:58
Yeah, that is a thing.
24:08
Man you guys are chatting so fast Magic
24:11
City is releasing their workouts Eight
24:12
days before the comp But they could do
24:13
this trick They could do this trick with
24:16
those workouts Eight days is a long time
24:21
It is Um
24:27
A five K and bow targets like biathlon
24:30
Olympics.
24:31
That would be awesome.
24:36
And you only get so much time at
24:37
each station.
24:37
So like when you get to the,
24:39
when you get to where you got to
24:39
pull it, you got to shoot the bow.
24:41
Good luck.
24:42
You got thirty seconds to get a shot
24:43
off and then you got to,
24:44
you got to keep moving.
24:46
I thought they used to have coffee.
24:48
They did,
24:49
but they couldn't agree on how to split
24:50
the beans.
24:52
As it turns out.
24:56
Bison chip toss after each kilometer.
25:02
No, actually,
25:03
there's going to be a GHD machine.
25:05
You have to hold a bison chip in
25:07
each hand.
25:08
On the tenth and twentieth rep,
25:10
you got to chuck one.
25:11
At a target.
25:14
This is the stuff that's fun when you
25:16
do this.
25:17
Now we have fun conversations about what
25:20
it could possibly be.
25:23
I mean,
25:23
if they want to come to us for
25:24
programming advice,
25:25
I think we got some pretty good stuff
25:27
right here.
25:28
Just throwing that out there.
25:31
Now I get it, CrossFit.
25:32
You said beef, but it was coffee.
25:34
They have coffee between each other.
25:36
Yeah.
25:39
I hate early releases.
25:40
The only argument for them is people can
25:41
ask their stupid questions beforehand and
25:43
not at the briefing.
25:45
Oh, wait,
25:45
they still ask them at the briefing.
25:47
I don't think any truer words have ever
25:49
been said.
25:50
if you have never experienced an online
25:54
briefing before actually before legends or
25:58
before masters fitness collective and just
26:00
sitting there and listen to some of the
26:02
ridiculous stuff that comes out of
26:04
people's mouths i highly recommend it holy
26:10
smokes
26:11
Everybody's sitting there and they just
26:12
kind of going through stuff and whatnot.
26:14
And then any questions,
26:16
anytime somebody says any questions,
26:18
I just kind of sit back.
26:19
Cause I know like some nonsense is fixing
26:21
to come out.
26:27
NorCal will release only the day prior.
26:30
They have always done that.
26:31
Wonder if they would go earlier now so
26:33
that the briefing is better and standard.
26:35
But I think they will keep their
26:36
traditions.
26:38
Yeah,
26:39
I just think they need to be more
26:40
clear during that briefing.
26:42
Yeah,
26:42
I don't think Blair and them are changing
26:45
much when it comes to that kind of
26:48
stuff.
26:48
They do what they do,
26:50
and people look at them sideways,
26:52
and they go, yep,
26:53
this is what we're doing.
26:54
We are still doing that.
26:56
And good on them.
26:57
Like, stick to your guns, man.
26:59
Like,
27:01
people are still going to your events.
27:03
People are still participating in your
27:04
events,
27:05
despite the ridiculous amount of stuff
27:07
that y'all do sometimes.
27:08
So I have much respect for that.
27:19
Carolyn says,
27:19
but sometimes the questions is to
27:21
literally make sure everyone knows it's
27:23
not allowed.
27:24
A lot of times people ask the questions
27:27
they know the answer to,
27:28
but want to make sure it's addressed.
27:30
I understand that, Carolyn,
27:32
but somebody legitimately asked out loud
27:35
last year,
27:36
what if my judge is mean to me
27:40
and was not laughing when they said it?
27:45
They weren't like, well,
27:46
what if my geo just mean to me?
27:49
No, no, that was a legitimate question.
27:53
I was texting back and forth with a
27:55
friend of mine while we were in it.
27:56
And I was like,
27:57
what is happening right now?
27:59
I says, I have a question.
28:01
Do I have to run the entire five
28:02
K?
28:03
Yeah, exactly.
28:08
Vicky says people are soft.
28:11
Joe said, uh,
28:13
never had that happen before with my like
28:15
he was stunned by the asking of it
28:19
he just kind of went up never had
28:21
that happen before but if it does let
28:23
me know when i'll address it and like
28:26
he said just it like it was a
28:27
question because but somebody legitimately
28:30
actually like that's that's a thing that
28:32
happened when i was a judge we were
28:36
told that we were not to interact with
28:38
the athlete unless they came up to you
28:41
if they had questions to call over the
28:43
head judge because they wanted to keep it
28:47
very systematic and um but that was when
28:50
crossfit was running it all right right um
28:59
can i bring wheelie shoes for the i
29:04
hope you do carolyn and i cannot wait
29:06
to see the video please do
29:11
Please do, Carolyn.
29:12
I got a feeling she would be super
29:14
fast on them.
29:14
Like, she knows how to skate.
29:15
Hell, her on rollerblades, man,
29:19
dominates the five K. Wouldn't even, yeah,
29:21
wouldn't even be close.
29:22
Through the woods.
29:23
Like,
29:23
I have no problem believing that
29:24
whatsoever.
29:29
Biggest annoyance is when judges have
29:31
conversations with athletes before the
29:33
heat starts.
29:35
Yep.
29:40
I'd love for you to have Dave Hardy
29:42
on one day and let him tell stories.
29:43
But I bet he's got some good ones.
29:46
I've judged with Dave.
29:47
I've known Dave a long time.
29:49
Dave is a great human being.
29:52
He is outstanding as a person.
29:55
And yes,
29:56
I am willing to bet he has some
29:57
ridiculous stories.
29:59
The funniest thing about Dave Hardy is
30:01
that he and I must have the exact
30:03
same palate.
30:04
Because whenever I'm at an event,
30:06
I run into him at every restaurant I
30:08
go to.
30:12
We were, uh, my first year at legends,
30:15
we were leaving the venue and we literally
30:16
picked him up off the street.
30:19
He was walking back to his hotel and
30:21
we rolled up and, uh,
30:23
Robbie rolled down the window and was
30:24
like, Hey man, you need a ride?
30:26
And he was like, hell yes,
30:27
I need a ride.
30:27
I didn't.
30:29
And it was two blocks,
30:30
but he just got in and we shot
30:32
the shit with him for a little bit
30:33
and dropped him off in front of his
30:34
place.
30:38
Um, is it Dave Hardy or Chris Henshaw?
30:41
Exactly.
30:42
I've never seen them both in the same
30:43
place at the same time.
30:46
I have a picture with Chris Henshaw and
30:48
I could tell people it was Dave Hardy
30:50
and they probably wouldn't know the
30:51
difference.
30:53
I'm just saying,
30:54
I've seen both of them in person.
30:56
I've never seen them both at the same
30:58
time.
30:59
No.
31:02
To be fair,
31:03
if you talk to Dave Harder,
31:04
he does not tell you about zone two
31:06
and, uh,
31:08
deal two max and all that kind of
31:10
stuff.
31:10
He's that's not really his bag.
31:12
Yeah.
31:13
But he's a hell of an athlete.
31:15
Uh,
31:17
CrossFit games athlete now high rocks
31:20
champion.
31:21
Yeah.
31:23
Was he judging at,
31:24
at fitness of the coast with his cane
31:26
after his surgery, which was fantastic.
31:29
Artificial parts everywhere.
31:31
And the guy he's much older than he
31:33
looks.
31:35
Yeah.
31:35
Like he looks years younger than he is,
31:40
uh, which is insane.
31:42
So.
31:45
What else do we got?
31:46
I saw some comments about Xenon.
31:50
If you didn't see the post from Wilson
31:53
Pak and the Xenon crew talking about what
31:58
they want the event to be,
31:59
I shared it to my story today.
32:02
It's really, really awesome.
32:05
I saw it,
32:06
but I actually listened to it.
32:08
Yeah,
32:08
so they just talk about how they want
32:11
it to be a world-class event.
32:12
They want you to walk through the doors
32:14
and feel like it's a world-class event.
32:18
He quotes how much poundage of steel is
32:22
going to be put inside the arena.
32:26
All the stuff,
32:27
like the nerdy stuff that gets
32:29
CrossFitters.
32:30
excited but it was actually addressed to
32:34
crossfit crossfitters people who do
32:38
crossfit do crossfit yeah the strongest
32:43
nerds i know are the people i work
32:45
out with uh dave uses the wheelie measure
32:50
stick from harbor freight
32:57
Oh, that's because CrossFit said,
32:58
could Dave count five thousand meters?
32:59
Yeah, he can.
33:02
It's just that his wheelie pops wheels
33:04
wheelies and it misses or it spins extra
33:08
off the off the ramp.
33:15
Talked about legends,
33:16
talked about the last thing I wanted to
33:19
talk about.
33:19
Well,
33:19
I have two more things is if you
33:22
guys didn't see this video.
33:25
Well worth the watch.
33:27
This is on Justin Medeiros' channel.
33:32
It is The Relish Project.
33:34
And he talked about it briefly on Boys
33:36
Interrupted back when they were going to
33:37
do it.
33:38
This was on his way to do Guadalupalooza,
33:41
SoCal.
33:44
Apparently back in college...
33:46
Justin had a couple of friends that worked
33:48
out at the same place he did.
33:50
And they went on this journey with no
33:53
plan,
33:53
just all jumped into like a cargo van
33:57
and went from town to town,
34:00
sleeping in tents and going into different
34:04
CrossFit boxes and working out with the
34:06
community and getting to know the
34:08
community.
34:09
Justin was always jealous about that ever
34:11
since they had done that.
34:13
And so they decided to do it on
34:15
his drive from Idaho to Waterpalooza,
34:20
SoCal.
34:22
No plan,
34:22
just stop at various boxes on the way.
34:25
They slept in tents,
34:26
they slept in the vans,
34:29
and they brought a bunch of stuff from
34:32
all of their sponsors or Justin's
34:36
sponsors.
34:39
And he got the old gang back together,
34:41
who some of them have not been working
34:43
out as much as they did when they
34:45
did this initial plan.
34:48
And I'm just going to play a little
34:50
bit of the start because they explain what
34:52
the Relish Project is.
34:55
What is the Relish Project?
34:56
I don't think it's ever been fully
34:58
defined.
34:59
And that's the point.
35:00
The Relish Project was never meant to fit
35:02
in a box.
35:03
It was meant to evolve.
35:04
That uncertainty, that curiosity,
35:07
it's part of the journey.
35:08
Ten years ago,
35:09
three friends sent out to tell the story
35:11
of the CrossFit community.
35:12
And today, that story continues.
35:14
The larger group, broader perspectives,
35:17
and even greater stories still waiting to
35:18
be told.
35:19
This is The Relish Project.
35:24
So it's really cool because it's really
35:27
like grassroots CrossFit.
35:29
It's just dropping into box after box,
35:31
sticking around,
35:32
hanging out with the community,
35:34
handing out free shoes, free shirts,
35:36
free shorts from Justin's sponsors.
35:40
And they tell a story at the one
35:42
box where they hung out with the community
35:44
for two hours after the workout.
35:46
Damn.
35:47
And how...
35:51
They don't think typically that happens at
35:53
the box that they hang out that long.
35:55
He does think they hang out for a
35:57
little bit of time after the workout.
35:59
But two hours was a lot.
36:01
But they hung out and ate and drank
36:04
and did all the stuff with the community.
36:06
And it's just like box after box after
36:08
box having those experiences.
36:11
It's only like a thirty minute video,
36:15
but it's really a great idea and I
36:18
hope that this is something that expands
36:23
and blows up and more people take it
36:24
on in the name of The Relish Project.
36:30
When I first got into CrossFit,
36:31
like if we had one of my friends
36:34
that would get married,
36:36
our bachelor party was on a Saturday,
36:39
we would drop into like three boxes.
36:41
Oh, I like that.
36:42
Bang, bang.
36:44
And do a workout at each one and
36:45
then come back to the home gym,
36:48
do like a max out and then grill
36:51
and drink beer and do whatever for the
36:54
rest of the day.
36:55
And then like the wives and everybody
36:57
would come hang out with us for the
37:00
evening.
37:01
but that's how we would celebrate bachelor
37:03
parties.
37:04
And it reminded me so much of that
37:06
and the,
37:06
and the grassroots piece of that and
37:08
getting together with my best friends and
37:12
hanging out for the day.
37:14
I like it.
37:15
And this is just,
37:16
just puts it under a road trip, right?
37:19
Let's just hop in the van and go.
37:22
I have been wanting to do something alone.
37:24
It was like,
37:24
like every time we go somewhere, uh,
37:28
And it's more prevalent now, but like,
37:29
I am looking for where I'm going to
37:31
go work out.
37:34
That's, that's not,
37:35
that's a non-negotiable, right?
37:38
Even on a cruise ship, I'm like,
37:39
all right, well,
37:40
I guess I'm about to go tear up
37:42
this fitness center on the cruise ship.
37:43
Then people will see some stuff they ain't
37:44
never seen before.
37:48
But I love it.
37:49
I love dropping into new places.
37:50
I love being in there and just talking
37:52
to the people that's there, dude.
37:53
Like I've met people in several different
37:56
locations who are
37:59
invariably good human beings i'm rarely
38:02
dropped in somewhere where i was like this
38:04
place sucks matter of fact i can't think
38:07
of any um that amongst my dropping where
38:11
i was like yeah this this place or
38:13
these people suck it hadn't happened i
38:18
think it's just the the nature of what
38:20
we do i i've probably done fifty drop-ins
38:26
in my life
38:29
I've only had one bad experience.
38:32
That's pretty good.
38:34
That's pretty good.
38:35
I'll take those odds.
38:38
Um, and,
38:41
and more than just this being a good
38:42
watch, which I think it is,
38:44
and I highly recommend it.
38:45
I think it's a,
38:47
a cool concept that others can take on
38:50
and, and do with their buddies.
38:53
And I think it would be a blast.
38:55
Um,
38:57
yeah so if you haven't checked it out
38:59
check it out and if if you ever
39:01
decide to do something like this let us
39:03
know man it'd be cool like down the
39:08
road a little bit if like we did
39:10
like a Clydesdale version of this and
39:12
whatever listeners wanted to join us we
39:15
would just bang bang bang go that's
39:16
fantastic
39:21
Uh, Larry young, same.
39:22
I look at the gym before I book,
39:24
even though I don't work out hard,
39:26
like you, Corey,
39:27
I still try to do something.
39:28
Larry, you work out.
39:29
I read Larry young's comments and I want,
39:31
like,
39:31
I'm about to pull an eye muscle from
39:33
rolling my eyes when he says shit like,
39:35
oh, don't work hard, hard, hard.
39:36
Like you shut up, Larry.
39:40
Stop.
39:41
Everything is relative.
39:43
Everything is relative.
39:44
Sweet Jesus.
39:47
Speaking of working out hard and Larry,
39:50
we announced yesterday that we're doing
39:53
for Rob Orlando max out deadlift this
39:55
week.
39:57
And if you do a max out deadlift
40:01
for Rob Orlando, video it,
40:04
tag us in it on Instagram at Clydesdale
40:07
underscore media.com.
40:09
I will share it to the stories and
40:11
it'll all be for Rob Orlando this week.
40:14
I think I'm going to do mine this
40:16
afternoon after my last meeting.
40:21
And I'm hoping to get over three.
40:27
I don't know.
40:28
I may be setting my expectations way too
40:30
high, but I'm going to try.
40:33
I've never been an actor, so we'll see.
40:37
It's worth doing.
40:40
Yeah.
40:40
I mean, playing is worth doing.
40:43
I watched that little tribute that
40:46
CrossFit put together for him again this
40:47
morning.
40:48
And, I mean,
40:50
you just can't not like the guy.
40:53
Yeah.
40:54
He was so charismatic.
40:56
And he just was a good dude.
41:00
Larry says, I'll win that one.
41:02
There you go.
41:03
We're giving you your shot, Larry.
41:05
We're giving you your shot.
41:08
Max out deadlift.
41:09
Do it for Rob Orlando.
41:12
Robbo.
41:13
Carolyn says, nice to see CrossFit.
41:14
We'll interview Lauren Weeks from High
41:16
Rocks.
41:17
She's been doing CrossFit for so long.
41:22
Yeah.
41:23
CrossFit needs to dive into some of these
41:27
other things and be the example.
41:32
Get out of its own way?
41:33
Is that what you're trying to say?
41:36
Yeah.
41:40
um hybrid folks rob some royalties
41:53
speaking of royalties i'm going to leave
41:54
on this note i was watching this clip
41:58
today if you remember jacques jacques jack
42:01
a jack from two two are you talking
42:03
about the whenever she was talking about
42:06
uh
42:08
Dolly Parton.
42:09
Yeah.
42:12
That makes more sense.
42:15
She asked Dolly Parton if she was upset
42:19
that Whitney Houston recorded her song.
42:22
And Dolly Parton was like,
42:26
let me show you something.
42:27
It's taken back to her dressing room and
42:29
she pulls up the drawer in her desk.
42:32
She pulls out a piece of paper and
42:35
she hands it to her and goes,
42:37
this is my first royalty check from that,
42:40
that song.
42:42
And it was a million dollars.
42:45
And Dolly looked at her and goes,
42:46
I ain't angry.
42:48
Yeah, I ain't mad at her.
42:52
I am not mad at her.
42:54
And that was just the first one.
42:57
Yeah, that was the initial one.
42:59
I mean,
43:05
Dolly Parton is a solid human being all
43:08
the way through.
43:10
CrossFed clarified what he was trying to
43:15
say.
43:16
They owe Rob.
43:17
They owe Rob royalties.
43:20
Yeah.
43:20
The hybrid people, the, the big sky thing,
43:23
whenever they just went and just Rob a,
43:26
and they just hollered at him from the
43:27
crowd.
43:28
And he was like, come on, you up.
43:30
And he was like, seriously,
43:33
wiping off the cheesecake.
43:34
Yes.
43:35
What were you doing?
43:36
I was eating cheesecake.
43:41
Yeah.
43:41
Good time.
43:43
So he was just, um,
43:46
I will video my attempt this afternoon.
43:48
I will post it.
43:50
And then hopefully that gets the ball
43:53
rolling for everybody else.
43:55
And we'll see what we do.
43:59
Scott, are we past the major trade talks?
44:01
Will he be a bear in twenty twenty
44:02
six?
44:04
I'll let you know after the draft, Wayne.
44:11
Well,
44:12
there's no real talk about it right now.
44:14
But if a trade happens,
44:15
it happens at the draft.
44:17
In most cases.
44:20
Because you're usually trading for draft
44:22
capital.
44:24
And that's when most people...
44:27
That's when the Bears would get the most
44:28
compensation for him.
44:36
But I don't foresee it.
44:40
I think they were only going to trade
44:42
him if they got a really good deal.
44:46
Here's the thing, dude.
44:48
They paid him a truckload of money.
44:54
It would be wild for them to, again,
44:56
that was what, two years ago?
44:59
Well, that just kicks in now.
45:02
That one he signed just kicks in now.
45:07
And it's only ten million guaranteed,
45:09
and I say only.
45:11
But it could be up to eighteen million.
45:13
However, they are right at the cap.
45:18
They have no money to sign draft picks.
45:20
So they're either going to have to
45:21
restructure some deals,
45:23
or they're going to have to get rid
45:24
of a high-priced person to get under the
45:27
cap for the season.
45:30
That's the only reservation I have to
45:32
say...
45:34
Yeah,
45:35
that's a good eye on watching the draft
45:38
at that point,
45:39
if that would be the case.
45:41
That would make sense, yeah.
45:44
Hard pass.
45:47
Gino Smith's still playing.
45:49
He just got traded to the Jets.
45:54
Where it all began for him.
45:57
Yeah, all the way back to the beginning.
46:00
When it was a disaster.
46:02
All right, guys.
46:05
With that,
46:07
look for the deadlift later today.
46:09
And we'll see everybody next time on Lunch
46:13
with the Clydesdale.
46:14
Bye, guys.
