  What's going on, everybody?
• 0:31
  Welcome to the Clydesdale
• 0:32
  Media Roundtable.
• 0:34
  We have this show every Thursday.
• 0:36
  We have a couple people that
• 0:37
  are out today.
• 0:38
  Amy is celebrating the
• 0:39
  holiday still with family,
• 0:40
  and Charlie is on a cruise
• 0:42
  ship somewhere.
• 0:43
  We don't know where,
• 0:44
  but he's out there floating somewhere.
• 0:47
  And Kat has become a cowgirl.
• 0:50
  Yes.
• 0:52
  Cowboy Kat.
• 0:54
  I like it.
• 0:54
  Yeah,
• 0:54
  I did something terrible to my hair a
• 0:55
  couple weeks ago.
• 0:56
  I got bangs, and they're really short,
• 0:58
  and I hate them, so
• 0:59
  I'm doing everything I can
• 1:00
  to camouflage them.
• 1:02
  My hair grows really fast,
• 1:04
  so that's good news.
• 1:05
  Do I remember this happening previously?
• 1:08
  Probably.
• 1:09
  I mean, why didn't you stop me this time?
• 1:13
  Didn't know until after the fact.
• 1:15
  Isn't it funny how women do
• 1:16
  these things to their hair?
• 1:19
  I feel like it's a transitional thing.
• 1:21
  Like, okay,
• 1:22
  you're making some changes in your life.
• 1:24
  Now it's time to do something drastic.
• 1:27
  So, yeah, here I am.
• 1:29
  growing out my bangs yeah
• 1:31
  the blonde the redhead the
• 1:33
  bangs all the things uh
• 1:36
  evening up instead of
• 1:38
  layers and then going back
• 1:39
  to layers and I got lots of
• 1:41
  layers I try to layers yeah
• 1:45
  you do you do a good job
• 1:46
  we're back to layers and
• 1:46
  this is like the color I
• 1:47
  always say this is the
• 1:48
  color god gave me so it
• 1:50
  like matches yeah mine is
• 1:54
  getting uh whiter and whiter and whiter
• 1:59
  If I didn't have so much of it,
• 2:00
  I would let it go.
• 2:01
  Yeah.
• 2:02
  Let it go.
• 2:02
  I,
• 2:03
  if I had short hair and it was starting
• 2:04
  to go gray, I would do that.
• 2:05
  The problem with mine is
• 2:06
  that I would look like the
• 2:07
  Brad Frankenstein.
• 2:10
  Yeah.
• 2:10
  Corey that's redhead cat is
• 2:11
  coming next for sure.
• 2:13
  My daughter keeps saying like,
• 2:14
  when are we going to do the
• 2:16
  chocolate strawberry raspberry color?
• 2:19
  So it's coming.
• 2:23
  If you hang out with Kat long enough,
• 2:26
  you'll get a version.
• 2:30
  The version you want will
• 2:31
  happen at some point.
• 2:33
  At some point.
• 2:35
  So true.
• 2:36
  You just got to keep waiting.
• 2:39
  Well, Scott,
• 2:39
  you were almost by yourself
• 2:41
  today because I had plans
• 2:43
  to have Christmas morning with my kids.
• 2:46
  Graydon and Eliana and my
• 2:47
  mom were coming over at ten.
• 2:49
  And then I was having lunch
• 2:50
  with my dad and the kids.
• 2:52
  before I drive him to the
• 2:53
  airport tonight to go to
• 2:55
  England to propose to his
• 2:56
  forty nine year old girlfriend.
• 3:00
  And Eliana got the flu.
• 3:08
  I had to take her to I took
• 3:10
  her to the walk in on
• 3:12
  Christmas Eve.
• 3:13
  And she had,
• 3:15
  I'll preface this by saying
• 3:17
  she's a hypochondriac for sure.
• 3:18
  Like there's always
• 3:19
  something wrong with her.
• 3:19
  Like she thinks she's dying.
• 3:21
  She's Google doctoring everything,
• 3:23
  every little, you know,
• 3:24
  indigestion twang that she has.
• 3:26
  She thinks she's got an
• 3:27
  ulcer or cancer or the
• 3:29
  worst thing possible.
• 3:30
  So she also has something
• 3:33
  called medical anxiety.
• 3:35
  Like
• 3:37
  Like she doesn't like to take medicine.
• 3:39
  She gets anxious, you know,
• 3:40
  when she takes medicine
• 3:41
  because she'll like look at
• 3:41
  the side effects and, you know,
• 3:43
  assume she's going to get
• 3:43
  all of them and everything else.
• 3:45
  So it's really hard.
• 3:47
  She actually tried to get
• 3:48
  medicine for her anxiety
• 3:50
  and it just made her more
• 3:50
  anxious because she has medical anxiety.
• 3:52
  Like it's crazy.
• 3:54
  So anyway, so, you know,
• 3:56
  she calls me and she's like,
• 3:57
  I'm really sick, you know,
• 3:58
  and sometimes I kind of
• 4:00
  roll my eyes and I'm like, oh,
• 4:01
  is she really sick?
• 4:02
  Or is she just like, you know,
• 4:03
  imagining things?
• 4:04
  So drop my plans for the day.
• 4:07
  was supposed to work, didn't work,
• 4:09
  drove her there.
• 4:10
  Sure enough,
• 4:10
  the kid's got like a hundred
• 4:11
  and two fever.
• 4:13
  She's got like partially
• 4:14
  collapsed lung from her chest x-ray.
• 4:17
  Like she's a mess.
• 4:18
  Um, so anyway, she's got that.
• 4:21
  People have you thinking you
• 4:22
  have lupus induced AIDS
• 4:23
  within five minutes of being on there.
• 4:25
  I know it's crazy, crazy.
• 4:28
  Um,
• 4:29
  So, but here's the kicker.
• 4:30
  She did not,
• 4:31
  she still wanted to see
• 4:32
  everyone for Christmas.
• 4:33
  So this is what happened.
• 4:35
  My mom,
• 4:36
  who did not get her flu shot and is,
• 4:38
  you know, in her seventies,
• 4:40
  came over last night around five.
• 4:42
  My son Braden came over around six.
• 4:45
  They exchanged gifts.
• 4:47
  Eliana showed up around six thirty.
• 4:49
  My mom,
• 4:50
  like from the other side of the apartment,
• 4:51
  watched Eliana open up her
• 4:53
  gifts for my mom.
• 4:54
  Then she left.
• 4:56
  Brayden and Eliana stuck
• 4:57
  around for a little while.
• 4:58
  Brayden drove back to
• 4:59
  Virginia because he needs
• 5:00
  to go see his girlfriend
• 5:00
  who lives in Georgia.
• 5:02
  And Eliana stayed until midnight.
• 5:04
  And she and I sat on the
• 5:05
  couch this close to each
• 5:06
  other all night with her
• 5:08
  coughing and hacking and everything else.
• 5:11
  And I'm pretty sure I'm
• 5:11
  going to get the flu.
• 5:14
  awesome so that's but you
• 5:15
  know I wasn't gonna like
• 5:16
  send her away like she's my
• 5:17
  kid I don't care if I get
• 5:18
  sick I'm fine what's funny
• 5:22
  you said I might have been
• 5:23
  alone I'm getting used to
• 5:25
  that now I'm trying to like
• 5:26
  get used to being on here
• 5:27
  alone it's something I'm
• 5:29
  not comfortable with and
• 5:30
  I've been doing the lunch
• 5:31
  shows and that's why jody's
• 5:33
  saying is this the lunch
• 5:34
  hour show or the media
• 5:35
  round table every thursday
• 5:37
  is the round table
• 5:38
  But the lunch shows are
• 5:40
  welcome to any of the crew
• 5:41
  to come on whenever they feel like it,
• 5:43
  as long as we have a show.
• 5:45
  I think that would be on Monday.
• 5:46
  I was, and there wasn't a show.
• 5:47
  Or Tuesday, I think it was.
• 5:50
  Because that's when I had a
• 5:51
  lunch date with my daughter.
• 5:52
  It'll happen.
• 5:56
  It's funny, you know,
• 5:57
  you got to spend time with
• 5:58
  Eliana and the family.
• 6:00
  We had the breakup,
• 6:01
  and then we got a longer
• 6:02
  time with Corey than we
• 6:03
  thought we were going to get,
• 6:05
  which was really nice.
• 6:08
  the bad part was she had to
• 6:09
  go to work today back in Pittsburgh.
• 6:12
  And so, um, yesterday was Christmas.
• 6:16
  She had to drive back
• 6:17
  yesterday and like Christmas,
• 6:19
  which was supposed to be
• 6:20
  like the climax of the week
• 6:22
  with spending time together
• 6:24
  really was a sad moment
• 6:25
  because she didn't really
• 6:27
  want to go back to the
• 6:28
  apartment she shares with her boyfriend,
• 6:30
  her ex-boyfriend.
• 6:31
  She didn't,
• 6:34
  And yesterday we were
• 6:35
  loading up her car with the
• 6:36
  new mattress we bought with
• 6:39
  all the stuff from Christmas.
• 6:41
  And she just didn't want to leave.
• 6:44
  And, you know,
• 6:45
  mom didn't want her to leave.
• 6:46
  I didn't want her to leave.
• 6:47
  And it's officially a show now.
• 6:48
  Yeah, sorry.
• 6:51
  And so yesterday was kind of
• 6:54
  melancholy on Christmas Day.
• 6:57
  She left at like two o'clock
• 6:58
  in the afternoon.
• 7:00
  And then it was just Julie
• 7:01
  and I for the rest of the day.
• 7:02
  watching football and then
• 7:04
  watching movies and all
• 7:06
  that kind of stuff.
• 7:06
  But, uh,
• 7:07
  but it was nice cause we were only
• 7:09
  supposed to get her from
• 7:11
  like Saturday to Monday
• 7:13
  morning and we got from a
• 7:16
  till Wednesday afternoon.
• 7:18
  Couple more days out of it.
• 7:20
  Yeah.
• 7:20
  That's nice.
• 7:21
  I would have,
• 7:21
  I would have liked to have
• 7:22
  spent more time with, uh, Braden,
• 7:24
  but you know,
• 7:25
  he was supposed to leave tonight.
• 7:28
  And then, of course,
• 7:29
  once he heard his sister
• 7:30
  was sick and that we might
• 7:31
  not be doing today because she was sick,
• 7:33
  he was, like,
• 7:34
  scheming the whole day yesterday.
• 7:35
  Like, what time can I come over?
• 7:37
  How early can we do, you know, our thing?
• 7:38
  Because he just wanted to
• 7:39
  get his gifts from his
• 7:40
  grandmother and then leave
• 7:41
  because he already got my gift,
• 7:44
  which is money.
• 7:45
  So it was just a little bit, you know,
• 7:47
  a little bit flat when that happened.
• 7:49
  But it was nice to spend the
• 7:50
  time with Els because she and I just,
• 7:51
  like, cuddled on the couch and watched.
• 7:54
  We watched this game show
• 7:55
  called The Floor with Rob Lowe.
• 7:58
  My favorite.
• 7:59
  Yeah, I'm addicted now.
• 8:01
  We're halfway through the first season.
• 8:02
  It was really fun.
• 8:05
  I love that it's just
• 8:06
  pictures and you're just
• 8:08
  trying to identify them.
• 8:09
  It's fun to play along with.
• 8:13
  I think season two came off better.
• 8:16
  They changed a couple of the
• 8:17
  rules and there's more
• 8:18
  people on the floor to start.
• 8:21
  Oh, wow.
• 8:22
  It's a hundred people instead of eighty.
• 8:24
  Eighty-one, yeah.
• 8:27
  And then the
• 8:28
  and you're not to the finale,
• 8:30
  but the finale is eventually at the end,
• 8:32
  you have two categories
• 8:33
  left and you have to pick one of them.
• 8:35
  Right.
• 8:36
  So control gets to pick that
• 8:38
  category and then it's over this year.
• 8:41
  You had to play both categories.
• 8:43
  And if it was a tie,
• 8:45
  then you get like a third
• 8:47
  category that is picked by a randomizer.
• 8:51
  Yeah.
• 8:53
  Okay.
• 8:53
  I like that.
• 8:54
  So I think all the
• 8:54
  categories should get covered.
• 8:57
  Yeah.
• 8:57
  So I like the ending better than year one.
• 8:59
  Okay.
• 9:00
  Well,
• 9:01
  we watched season one because she's
• 9:02
  already seen season two, Eliana, that is.
• 9:04
  But I don't know if you
• 9:06
  remember in season one,
• 9:07
  there's a category, dogs.
• 9:09
  Oh, yeah.
• 9:10
  I mean, are you kidding me?
• 9:13
  Rapid fire.
• 9:14
  I knew all of them.
• 9:15
  It was great.
• 9:16
  It's always fun when you
• 9:16
  have a category that you're
• 9:17
  very confident in.
• 9:18
  That would be my category for sure.
• 9:20
  So I have a game called Outsmarted,
• 9:23
  and it is played.
• 9:24
  It's like a board game,
• 9:25
  but you can play it online.
• 9:27
  So like we can play with my
• 9:28
  mom in Pennsylvania.
• 9:29
  We can play with Corey in Pennsylvania.
• 9:32
  Oh, cool.
• 9:32
  You just pull it up on your iPad,
• 9:34
  and then we just move your
• 9:35
  piece around the board.
• 9:36
  But it's categories.
• 9:38
  And one of the categories you can,
• 9:39
  and you can buy categories.
• 9:41
  So you can build the game to
• 9:42
  whatever you want.
• 9:44
  One of the categories is dogs.
• 9:45
  Perfect.
• 9:47
  Yeah.
• 9:48
  I am not good at it.
• 9:50
  I am not good at breeds.
• 9:51
  I am not good at any of that stuff.
• 9:54
  I just go cute, not cute.
• 9:55
  Yeah.
• 9:56
  Yeah.
• 9:57
  Yeah.
• 9:58
  I always,
• 9:58
  I always impress people if I'm
• 9:59
  like walking with someone
• 10:00
  and we see a dog, I'll always say like,
• 10:02
  oh, that's a such and such.
• 10:03
  And then at some point in time,
• 10:05
  we're talking to the owner, you know,
• 10:07
  and they're like,
• 10:08
  the other person will be like, oh,
• 10:09
  what dog is that?
• 10:09
  And they'll say exactly the
• 10:10
  breed that I said, like,
• 10:11
  how did you know that?
• 10:13
  I just, I don't know.
• 10:15
  I used to study your books of dogs,
• 10:16
  apparently.
• 10:19
  Well,
• 10:19
  before we get into all this WFP stuff
• 10:21
  that came out with the
• 10:22
  Talking Elite Fitness interview, and Will,
• 10:25
  I believe, is on with Coffee, Pods,
• 10:27
  and Wads at three o'clock
• 10:28
  Eastern time this afternoon.
• 10:29
  Okay.
• 10:30
  Hopefully, we'll learn more.
• 10:32
  But before we get into it,
• 10:33
  did you get any cool gifts yourself?
• 10:35
  Or was there one you gave
• 10:37
  that really hit home?
• 10:40
  Yeah.
• 10:40
  So I have not gotten my mom an actual...
• 10:44
  like significant Christmas
• 10:46
  gift in probably thirty years.
• 10:48
  Right.
• 10:48
  Like ever since I've been an adult,
• 10:50
  you know,
• 10:50
  out of the house and everything else.
• 10:54
  I would always get her.
• 10:55
  She has like a bird collection.
• 10:56
  She has a Santa Claus tree.
• 10:58
  I'll get her a little Santa
• 11:00
  figurine or a little bird picture.
• 11:01
  Nothing, you know, crazy.
• 11:03
  This year,
• 11:05
  I am taking her to see Swan Lake,
• 11:09
  New York City Ballet in New
• 11:10
  York City in February.
• 11:12
  And she is over the moon.
• 11:14
  about it because girl has
• 11:16
  not been to new york in a
• 11:17
  hot minute probably three
• 11:19
  decades so yeah that is
• 11:22
  really cool yeah yeah I
• 11:24
  just noticed uh hamilton's
• 11:25
  coming to columbus uh this
• 11:27
  summer uh so that might be
• 11:29
  something I do with core
• 11:31
  julie says she doesn't like
• 11:32
  musicals but then she goes
• 11:33
  and loves everyone that she sees yeah
• 11:37
  I don't know if she'll go with us,
• 11:39
  but I think it's something
• 11:40
  that would be fun to see live for sure.
• 11:44
  My gift that I was so pumped
• 11:46
  about is Julie is an
• 11:50
  interior designer by trade, by degree.
• 11:53
  But she left that field a
• 11:54
  long time ago just to pay
• 11:55
  the bills and really never
• 11:57
  got back into it.
• 11:58
  She loves art.
• 11:59
  She loves doing art.
• 12:01
  And with her going in for
• 12:02
  surgery in January,
• 12:04
  I got her a Potter's wheel.
• 12:07
  oh and she loves to spin
• 12:10
  clay loves loves loves it
• 12:12
  always did as like growing
• 12:14
  up and so I got her one for
• 12:16
  her rehab like while she's
• 12:19
  having to put her leg up
• 12:20
  and whatever she can take
• 12:20
  time to like spin some clay
• 12:22
  yeah and I got it like I'm
• 12:24
  picturing I'm picturing a
• 12:25
  scene from ghosts the two
• 12:26
  of you yeah yeah that's I'm
• 12:28
  singing the song
• 12:32
  Um, probably not.
• 12:34
  Uh, but it's,
• 12:35
  but she's been looking to get
• 12:36
  back into like some hobbies
• 12:38
  now that Corey's kind of
• 12:39
  gone and off doing her own thing.
• 12:42
  So I got her like a medium
• 12:44
  grade Potter's wheel.
• 12:45
  And if it goes well, like if we,
• 12:47
  she gets back into it,
• 12:48
  like we'll invest into like a great one.
• 12:52
  But she's already got ideas
• 12:53
  like I can put down old
• 12:54
  shower curtains in the
• 12:55
  garage and I can do all
• 12:57
  this stuff to have a spot.
• 12:59
  She's excited.
• 13:00
  She's really excited.
• 13:02
  That's great.
• 13:02
  I love that.
• 13:03
  I'm stoked with that.
• 13:04
  You'll have to have her
• 13:06
  watch Dax Newman or David
• 13:09
  Newman's son on TikTok.
• 13:10
  Oh, yeah.
• 13:12
  He does all that pottery stuff too.
• 13:14
  Very cool.
• 13:16
  I love it.
• 13:17
  Well,
• 13:17
  Braden got toothpaste and hand soap
• 13:20
  in his stocking because he
• 13:21
  gave me zero ideas on what to get him.
• 13:23
  So he got the essentials.
• 13:25
  Good hygiene.
• 13:28
  Yeah.
• 13:29
  Oh,
• 13:29
  and Eliana's favorite gift was I got
• 13:31
  her one of those off the TikTok shop,
• 13:33
  one of those sealers,
• 13:35
  like a portable sealer that
• 13:37
  you can like instead of a chip clip bag.
• 13:39
  She was super excited about that.
• 13:41
  Yeah.
• 13:43
  She said that was her favorite present.
• 13:47
  Corey needed an iPad for her new job.
• 13:49
  And, uh,
• 13:50
  we did that a couple of months ago
• 13:53
  and that was Christmas gifts.
• 13:54
  So we didn't have anything
• 13:55
  like big for her, um, at this,
• 13:59
  at this Christmas,
• 14:00
  but it was still a great day.
• 14:02
  Sometimes the little bit, the little,
• 14:04
  little gifts are fun too.
• 14:06
  I know, uh,
• 14:07
  my ex and I used to do this
• 14:08
  thing where we would like
• 14:09
  on Christmas Eve, we'd go through the,
• 14:11
  as seen on TV, um,
• 14:13
  aisle at the walgreens and
• 14:16
  we just pick up stupid shit
• 14:17
  and put it under the tree
• 14:21
  uh well jody's with us now
• 14:23
  we've got jay birch has
• 14:24
  jumped in and jay birch and
• 14:25
  I had a great chat
• 14:26
  yesterday he finished tulsa
• 14:28
  king um and we got to uh
• 14:31
  bounce ideas theories back
• 14:33
  and forth as to what season
• 14:34
  three will bring us with
• 14:36
  the tulsa king and uh and
• 14:38
  it was great chatting with him yesterday
• 14:41
  Is that like, uh, is that like Lion, the,
• 14:46
  um, Tiger King or no?
• 14:46
  No, no.
• 14:46
  So it's another Taylor Sheridan show.
• 14:48
  It's as a mob boss who gets
• 14:53
  the boot from New York to go to Tulsa,
• 14:55
  Oklahoma.
• 14:56
  And he ends up creating his
• 14:59
  own little like mob family in Tulsa,
• 15:01
  Oklahoma.
• 15:03
  And there's two full seasons
• 15:04
  out on Paramount plus.
• 15:06
  And, uh,
• 15:08
  It's really, really good.
• 15:10
  In the Taylor Sheridan shows,
• 15:16
  I would rank probably third with Lioness.
• 15:22
  And then I would put Landman number one,
• 15:24
  Yellowstone number two,
• 15:26
  and then Tulsa King and
• 15:28
  Lioness in the three spot.
• 15:30
  Okay.
• 15:30
  I got some shows to watch.
• 15:33
  But Landman, man, that thing is so good.
• 15:37
  Every week.
• 15:37
  It's like Taylor Sheridan
• 15:39
  practiced on all the other
• 15:40
  ones and put everything he
• 15:43
  learned into Landman, and it is so good.
• 15:48
  So good.
• 15:50
  But only my second best show of the year.
• 15:52
  Number one is Shrinking,
• 15:53
  which I just watched the
• 15:54
  season finale last night,
• 15:56
  and I gasped at the end of this.
• 15:59
  It was so crazy.
• 16:01
  But so crazy good.
• 16:03
  if you've never seen that
• 16:04
  shrinking is on apple plus
• 16:06
  it is jason siegel and the
• 16:09
  guy who um played roy kent
• 16:11
  in ted lasso wrote it um
• 16:15
  the two of them and roy kent is
• 16:20
  So the guy who plays Roy
• 16:20
  Kent in Ted Lasso gets
• 16:24
  drunk and kills Jason Segel's wife.
• 16:26
  And that is the premise of
• 16:28
  the show as a drunk driver and,
• 16:32
  and how Jason Segel kind of
• 16:33
  comes out of that.
• 16:34
  He is a therapist and he
• 16:36
  works with Harrison Ford,
• 16:37
  who's a therapist and
• 16:39
  another woman who is a therapist and how,
• 16:43
  uh,
• 16:43
  They learned to and his
• 16:45
  daughter sees Harrison Ford
• 16:47
  as a therapist.
• 16:48
  Jason Segel is totally off
• 16:49
  the rails when the show
• 16:50
  starts in season one.
• 16:53
  And season one is all about
• 16:54
  him kind of overcoming that grief.
• 16:57
  And then season two is like,
• 16:59
  can he get back to zero?
• 17:01
  Right.
• 17:01
  Like, can he get back to base level again?
• 17:06
  And it's a phenomenal show.
• 17:08
  My favorite best show on TV
• 17:10
  in the last ten years, in my opinion.
• 17:13
  is it only two seasons?
• 17:15
  Correct.
• 17:15
  Okay.
• 17:16
  And then it's over season.
• 17:18
  No, there's going to be a season three.
• 17:20
  Oh, there is.
• 17:20
  Okay.
• 17:21
  But it, it like season two just ended.
• 17:23
  So you've got a year before
• 17:25
  season three comes about.
• 17:27
  I can catch up on that.
• 17:29
  And it's ten episodes, season one,
• 17:30
  twelve episodes, season two.
• 17:35
  How about based on a true story?
• 17:37
  I mean, that one,
• 17:38
  I just finished season two
• 17:40
  of that yesterday.
• 17:41
  Okay.
• 17:41
  haven't started it.
• 17:42
  I'm looking for something to start.
• 17:44
  Most other than land, man,
• 17:46
  all of my shows have pretty much ended.
• 17:49
  This one.
• 17:50
  It's not super sophisticated.
• 17:51
  It's not like, like ultra drama.
• 17:54
  It's more like, like campy horror comedy,
• 17:57
  sort of.
• 17:58
  That's the thing.
• 18:00
  Yeah.
• 18:01
  I'll give it a go.
• 18:02
  I know I've, I've seen it.
• 18:03
  I thought Julie would jump
• 18:04
  into it because of the
• 18:05
  content because she's a crime person,
• 18:09
  but she hasn't jumped into it.
• 18:10
  So maybe I'll have to force
• 18:12
  her into it while we're off
• 18:14
  for her rehab for a little bit.
• 18:16
  Yeah, it's good.
• 18:16
  It's good.
• 18:17
  And the seasons are the, um, the episodes,
• 18:19
  it's like, I think,
• 18:19
  ten and ten and the
• 18:20
  episodes are only like
• 18:22
  twenty six minutes long.
• 18:23
  You know, it's one of those half hour one.
• 18:25
  So it's really you can get
• 18:26
  through it quickly.
• 18:28
  Cool.
• 18:28
  Yeah, those don't take long at all.
• 18:31
  I had no plans for TV talk,
• 18:33
  but I have a question
• 18:34
  because I was watching
• 18:35
  something where they were talking about,
• 18:39
  do you prefer your TV in
• 18:42
  the FX Netflix style where
• 18:44
  they just dump all the
• 18:46
  episodes of the season at one time?
• 18:48
  Or do you like it like Apple Plus,
• 18:51
  Paramount, HBO,
• 18:52
  where you get one episode a week?
• 18:54
  I...
• 18:58
  have so much going on in my
• 18:59
  brain these days that if I
• 19:01
  don't watch them in succession,
• 19:03
  I will not be able to
• 19:05
  remember what happened.
• 19:06
  I mean,
• 19:07
  literally if I go like four days in
• 19:09
  between an episode,
• 19:09
  even on the ones that I can binge watch,
• 19:12
  I have to go back to the last episode,
• 19:14
  at least the last like five
• 19:15
  minutes to remind myself where I was.
• 19:18
  So a week in between is not
• 19:20
  happening for me.
• 19:22
  No way.
• 19:24
  Can't do it.
• 19:25
  Not smart enough.
• 19:27
  Um, I like to savor it.
• 19:29
  I like the, the one episode a week drop.
• 19:31
  Really?
• 19:33
  Yeah.
• 19:33
  Because then,
• 19:34
  then it like stays in my life
• 19:35
  for a while.
• 19:36
  Like,
• 19:36
  and I get to really get to know these
• 19:38
  characters, um, where I don't have,
• 19:41
  I am too impatient with the drop,
• 19:44
  the big drop and I'll just binge it all.
• 19:46
  And then it's over.
• 19:48
  And like, like Tulsa King,
• 19:50
  I ended and none of my
• 19:52
  friends watched it.
• 19:53
  So I had nobody to talk to
• 19:54
  until Jay Birch finished it this week.
• 19:57
  And then like, I just,
• 19:59
  I vomited all over Jay
• 20:01
  Birch and my theories and
• 20:02
  what was going on.
• 20:02
  Cause I had nobody to talk
• 20:04
  to about it for a couple months.
• 20:08
  So yeah.
• 20:09
  Yeah,
• 20:10
  I get the whole being able to savor
• 20:12
  the plot line and the
• 20:12
  characters and everything else.
• 20:13
  But like I said,
• 20:15
  if I'm not completely
• 20:16
  immersed in it the whole week,
• 20:18
  I will forget what happened.
• 20:21
  It's unfortunate.
• 20:23
  Jay Burgex,
• 20:23
  do you think Taylor Sheridan is
• 20:25
  bigger than Kurt Sutter?
• 20:26
  I don't know who Kurt Sutter is.
• 20:29
  So yes, your answer is yes.
• 20:31
  In my mind, I guess, yeah.
• 20:35
  Now, he may tell me that Kurt Sutter did X,
• 20:37
  Y, and Z, and I'll be like, ooh,
• 20:38
  those are all great.
• 20:39
  Oh, wait.
• 20:39
  Yeah.
• 20:42
  So before we run out of time,
• 20:47
  Will Morad and the head of the WFP,
• 20:53
  I'm getting his name here in a second,
• 20:59
  Jackson Terry.
• 21:00
  Okay.
• 21:03
  Um,
• 21:03
  we're on talking elite fitness and it
• 21:06
  was released, I think early this morning.
• 21:09
  Uh,
• 21:10
  and they talked about what the WFP is
• 21:12
  doing, what it is all about.
• 21:16
  And,
• 21:16
  and I want to save some of this for
• 21:18
  like Carolyn,
• 21:19
  because she's an actual
• 21:20
  athlete and how it impacts her.
• 21:22
  Um,
• 21:23
  but I do want to talk about it because
• 21:25
  I think there's some, what's that?
• 21:27
  I'm a fake athlete.
• 21:30
  true charlotte's an actual
• 21:35
  athlete I mean I'm an
• 21:35
  actual games master's
• 21:36
  athlete there is a master's
• 21:37
  division to this so I um I
• 21:41
  want to get their opinion
• 21:41
  because I think it's very I
• 21:45
  think people have
• 21:46
  misconceptions as to what
• 21:47
  it is okay and the first thing is
• 21:51
  It is not a direct
• 21:52
  competitor to the CrossFit Games.
• 21:55
  Will says in this interview
• 21:56
  very plainly that they
• 21:58
  designed the season to not
• 22:01
  compete with the CrossFit Games.
• 22:03
  They have made it so that
• 22:05
  the elite athletes can do both.
• 22:08
  And it should not affect their training.
• 22:10
  Now, can one athlete maybe peak...
• 22:15
  for one of them over the
• 22:16
  other and make that choice.
• 22:17
  Sure.
• 22:18
  But it's he,
• 22:20
  and he said that we
• 22:21
  specifically designed it
• 22:22
  not to beat the athlete down.
• 22:25
  Uh, when we looked at qualifying events,
• 22:27
  we're trying to keep them
• 22:28
  small so that they don't affect training.
• 22:31
  When the tour events are
• 22:33
  only going to be six events,
• 22:35
  the finals are only nine events, uh,
• 22:38
  And it's not going to be
• 22:39
  like your fifteen event
• 22:40
  CrossFit games where when you're done,
• 22:42
  you're just completely beat
• 22:43
  down and can't do anything else.
• 22:46
  And not only did they avoid the games,
• 22:50
  they avoided Rogue.
• 22:51
  They avoided Wadapalooza.
• 22:53
  Very respectful, very mindful.
• 23:00
  So in no way is this a
• 23:02
  direct competitor and the
• 23:03
  contracts the athletes are
• 23:05
  signing are not exclusive.
• 23:09
  And they said they went into
• 23:10
  this with the idea of not being exclusive,
• 23:14
  that just being an option.
• 23:16
  And so all the athletes can
• 23:19
  do whatever events they
• 23:21
  want across the season in
• 23:23
  addition to signing this contract.
• 23:26
  And wasn't it, I mean,
• 23:27
  originally it was supposed
• 23:28
  to be for those athletes,
• 23:30
  like top four to go to the games,
• 23:33
  the next ten do this, right?
• 23:36
  Like initially it was...
• 23:37
  supposed to be for that.
• 23:38
  So yeah,
• 23:39
  it's clearly not going to compete
• 23:42
  with the season necessarily
• 23:43
  because that's how they
• 23:44
  were planning to get those folks anyway.
• 23:47
  Yeah.
• 23:47
  I think the ideas have evolved from, um,
• 23:52
  from it being a,
• 23:54
  a charitable event and a
• 23:56
  place for kids to go.
• 23:57
  And they're still doing that.
• 23:59
  So this is the place of that.
• 24:02
  But instead of building a
• 24:04
  building in Nashville,
• 24:05
  they're partnering with
• 24:06
  people around the world for
• 24:08
  the charitable aspect of it.
• 24:10
  And then this pro season
• 24:13
  initially started as they
• 24:14
  were going to build a
• 24:15
  building in Nashville and
• 24:16
  they're going to hold an event that
• 24:19
  post semifinals for those
• 24:20
  people who just missed the games.
• 24:23
  And it would be like in college basketball,
• 24:25
  the NIT tournament.
• 24:26
  So if you don't make the NCAA tournament,
• 24:29
  you could then go to the
• 24:31
  NIT tournament and compete
• 24:32
  for that championship.
• 24:34
  It was going to be very similar to that.
• 24:36
  But as they talked and
• 24:39
  opportunities arose and the
• 24:42
  investments got bigger,
• 24:44
  they were able to turn this
• 24:46
  into like a full season.
• 24:49
  And I think what's even
• 24:50
  cooler is they're taking a
• 24:52
  lot of like the lessons
• 24:54
  learned from the CrossFit game season.
• 24:56
  A lot of the things that
• 24:57
  people have been clamoring
• 24:59
  about on shows like this
• 25:02
  and others across the space,
• 25:06
  trying to fix those issues,
• 25:10
  having a better media presence and,
• 25:14
  doing a live stream that makes sense.
• 25:17
  They talk about ramping up
• 25:19
  media coverage the week
• 25:20
  before an event to get to
• 25:22
  know the athletes as people.
• 25:25
  Like doing features on the
• 25:27
  athletes that are
• 25:27
  participating in the event
• 25:29
  to ramp up the excitement
• 25:31
  for that event as you get
• 25:32
  to know those people.
• 25:34
  Also that the event itself
• 25:37
  be something that...
• 25:40
  you can tune into and not
• 25:41
  know the sport and still
• 25:43
  understand who's in the
• 25:44
  lead and who's not.
• 25:49
  And maybe you don't
• 25:50
  understand everything about it,
• 25:52
  but you understand who's
• 25:53
  winning and who's losing
• 25:55
  and that they wanted to
• 25:56
  take a different road than
• 26:01
  assuming that the, the,
• 26:02
  the niche market is all that's watching.
• 26:04
  I like that.
• 26:09
  Do they have a media
• 26:12
  department necessarily?
• 26:14
  Or do you think they're
• 26:14
  going to be leaning on
• 26:17
  people that they know in
• 26:18
  the space to just sort of take on roles?
• 26:23
  It sounds to me like they
• 26:24
  are going to be hiring
• 26:26
  people to do pieces and parts.
• 26:31
  And they are hiring someone
• 26:32
  to stream the events as they happen.
• 26:38
  uh will talked about
• 26:39
  programming and that the
• 26:41
  hardest part of programming
• 26:43
  is not making a cool
• 26:46
  workout for everybody it's
• 26:48
  fitting it in the timeline
• 26:49
  of the broadcast it is
• 26:51
  fitting it in so it makes
• 26:53
  sense to people watching um
• 26:55
  and they're in negotiations
• 26:56
  with those people doing
• 26:58
  those other aspects already
• 26:59
  so they must have some
• 27:01
  stuff signed but they're
• 27:02
  not announcing all of that yet okay
• 27:06
  The other thing is it
• 27:07
  appears that all of the
• 27:09
  events will be in the U S in year one,
• 27:12
  and then they're looking to
• 27:13
  expand to Europe and
• 27:14
  Australia in year two.
• 27:19
  And it, I think it's just what they could,
• 27:22
  you know,
• 27:23
  it's a big undertaking and it's
• 27:24
  what they could handle as a
• 27:25
  team in year one.
• 27:27
  And they've hired two event
• 27:29
  organizers to help them out.
• 27:32
  Uh, the one is.
• 27:36
  I have so many notes.
• 27:39
  Jason Ainsley.
• 27:40
  Is that right?
• 27:44
  He does the monster games.
• 27:46
  Ensley, Jason Ensley.
• 27:48
  He's going to be in charge
• 27:48
  of North America.
• 27:49
  He does the monster games currently.
• 27:53
  And then Roger Nelson or
• 27:55
  Nielsen is going to be the
• 27:57
  Europe individual.
• 27:59
  And he is known for doing
• 28:01
  the Norwegian throwdown.
• 28:02
  Okay.
• 28:04
  So those people have been brought on.
• 28:12
  Ryan Howard is a big partner.
• 28:14
  The LRX guy.
• 28:15
  Okay.
• 28:18
  He is a big partner in this.
• 28:21
  They didn't really name a
• 28:22
  lot of the partners and
• 28:23
  they didn't name any of the investors.
• 28:27
  They also said a lot of
• 28:28
  stuff will be coming out,
• 28:30
  rolling the rest of this
• 28:31
  month and through January.
• 28:33
  Just kind of social media
• 28:36
  will be announcing more and
• 28:37
  more of things as it goes.
• 28:43
  Their events will be
• 28:44
  completely new events.
• 28:45
  They're not relying on a
• 28:47
  partner event to hold the events.
• 28:50
  And that is so that they can
• 28:51
  standardize some stuff to
• 28:55
  make the complete tour kind
• 28:57
  of the same expectation across the board.
• 29:02
  They are in talks with the
• 29:03
  PFAA on standardized movements and safety,
• 29:08
  but they're just talks.
• 29:09
  There's no former...
• 29:13
  there's no formal agreement
• 29:15
  with the PFAA at this time.
• 29:17
  And Judy Reed is correct.
• 29:18
  Ryan husband is from a native of Columbus.
• 29:20
  Uh,
• 29:22
  he used to tour all the local gyms when
• 29:23
  he first started our LRX.
• 29:26
  So I've met Ryan, uh, super nice guy.
• 29:29
  Uh, but yeah,
• 29:30
  initially I think at first
• 29:31
  you said Ryan Howard and I
• 29:32
  was thinking of the Phillies,
• 29:33
  the Phillies, Ryan husband,
• 29:36
  first baseman.
• 29:39
  Um,
• 29:41
  They've been stress testing
• 29:43
  point systems for the entire tour,
• 29:46
  doing fake leaderboards to
• 29:48
  see how it affects things
• 29:50
  to make sure they can get
• 29:52
  the points down.
• 29:53
  But basically,
• 29:53
  it's if the twenty
• 29:55
  contracted athletes will
• 29:57
  participate in the tour event,
• 29:59
  they will have a qualifier
• 30:00
  where the top ten in that
• 30:01
  qualifier will then also
• 30:03
  compete in the pro division.
• 30:05
  and earn points in that and
• 30:08
  then eleven through thirty
• 30:10
  will compete in a
• 30:11
  challenger division at the
• 30:13
  event and they can earn
• 30:14
  points but it's on a lower
• 30:16
  scale than the pro division okay
• 30:19
  So you can go to event one
• 30:22
  in the pro division,
• 30:24
  earn X number of points,
• 30:25
  go to event two and fall
• 30:28
  into the challenger
• 30:29
  division and get X number of points.
• 30:31
  But together that may get
• 30:33
  you in the top thirty,
• 30:34
  which then go to the finals
• 30:36
  to compete for double points.
• 30:40
  And then if you're in the
• 30:41
  top twenty after the finals,
• 30:44
  you get your pro card for
• 30:45
  the following season and
• 30:46
  you become one of the twenty.
• 30:51
  Um, and the other thing,
• 30:52
  the last thing I'm just
• 30:53
  going to point out,
• 30:54
  cause there was a lot of
• 30:55
  good stuff in it.
• 30:55
  And I think that, uh,
• 30:59
  it's actually not confusing Jody.
• 31:01
  If you see it kind of out on paper.
• 31:03
  I'm with you, Jody.
• 31:04
  I was confused.
• 31:06
  It makes a lot of sense.
• 31:07
  I've just I've been thinking
• 31:08
  about a lot I've read a lot
• 31:10
  about it I think yeah for
• 31:11
  me it makes sense and it
• 31:13
  will to others once you see
• 31:14
  it played out because it's
• 31:16
  just like tennis it's just
• 31:18
  like golf um done in the
• 31:21
  same way but the last thing
• 31:23
  I'm going to say is and I
• 31:25
  think you you actually have
• 31:26
  more control over this with
• 31:27
  contracted athletes and
• 31:28
  that is they want to have a
• 31:30
  better connection with the community
• 31:34
  And they want to make appearances.
• 31:37
  They want to do things to
• 31:38
  bring back that pro athlete
• 31:41
  to community feel where
• 31:45
  it's very accessible.
• 31:46
  It may not happen on the day
• 31:48
  of a tour event because, you know,
• 31:50
  they're trying to make money,
• 31:52
  but they want to do
• 31:53
  activations at other events as well.
• 31:56
  And every tour event is
• 31:58
  going to have a community event.
• 32:00
  And those community events are,
• 32:03
  in addition to the challenger division,
• 32:05
  a master's and what they're
• 32:06
  calling next gen, which is a team.
• 32:10
  So it will be fourteen to
• 32:13
  sixteen and seventeen to nineteen.
• 32:16
  So they are expanding the
• 32:18
  team division out a little bit further.
• 32:21
  um to give people more time
• 32:23
  to uh adjust to the pro
• 32:26
  elite division I like that
• 32:33
  uh maybe just confusing
• 32:34
  while I'm deep into a
• 32:35
  kitchen design while trying
• 32:36
  to compete I am sure I was
• 32:39
  just I was just sitting
• 32:40
  here listening and it
• 32:41
  sounded confusing to me too
• 32:41
  jody so you're good yeah
• 32:44
  for this season there are
• 32:46
  two tour events where you can earn points
• 32:51
  You can earn points in the
• 32:52
  pro division at the highest scale.
• 32:55
  You can earn points in the
• 32:56
  challenger division at a lower scale.
• 33:00
  Your total combined points
• 33:02
  from event one and event
• 33:04
  two will be put together.
• 33:06
  And the top thirty in points
• 33:09
  go to the finals to compete
• 33:13
  for points there, which will be doubled.
• 33:18
  So the scale will double at the finals.
• 33:22
  the top twenty in overall
• 33:23
  points after the finals get
• 33:26
  a contract for the next
• 33:27
  season or a pro card.
• 33:31
  Do your own individual
• 33:32
  points ranked against each
• 33:34
  other reset at the final so
• 33:36
  that the final is just the
• 33:37
  final or do you come in
• 33:39
  with points and you earn
• 33:41
  points in the final towards that thing?
• 33:43
  Does that also determine the
• 33:44
  winner of the thing?
• 33:46
  No.
• 33:47
  So you can win each event
• 33:49
  separately and it will have
• 33:50
  its own prize money.
• 33:51
  Okay.
• 33:52
  That's kind of what I meant.
• 33:53
  Okay.
• 33:54
  So you're just talking about
• 33:55
  points to earn status for
• 33:58
  the next season or to get
• 33:59
  your pro card or what level
• 34:01
  you're going to be at.
• 34:02
  But each event has its own
• 34:04
  scoring system for who wins
• 34:06
  and who gets second place and all that.
• 34:08
  Right.
• 34:08
  And then your points for the
• 34:10
  tour are based on where you
• 34:12
  finish overall in that event.
• 34:14
  Okay.
• 34:14
  Yeah.
• 34:16
  So if you win tour event one,
• 34:18
  you get the max number of
• 34:19
  points moving into tour event number two.
• 34:21
  Right.
• 34:22
  Okay.
• 34:24
  But it doesn't give you an
• 34:24
  advantage to win the second event.
• 34:28
  When you get to the second event,
• 34:29
  like everybody's on.
• 34:30
  Okay.
• 34:31
  That's where I was getting confused.
• 34:35
  Paul Kane says,
• 34:35
  I wish they would name the investors.
• 34:37
  The money is the thing to make this legit.
• 34:40
  All they're saying is they
• 34:41
  have enough money to
• 34:43
  sustain this for the foreseeable future.
• 34:46
  And they even said, and it was very subtle,
• 34:50
  that not only do they have
• 34:51
  current investors,
• 34:52
  they have investors waiting
• 34:54
  to invest that they haven't
• 34:55
  needed to tap into yet.
• 34:57
  That's exciting.
• 34:59
  But I don't know what that means.
• 35:04
  So I hope that they,
• 35:10
  I think an organization
• 35:11
  like this has the ability
• 35:12
  to be more innovative.
• 35:15
  Because they're new.
• 35:16
  They can try whatever they
• 35:17
  want to try and see how it works, right?
• 35:20
  You've heard all this stuff
• 35:22
  coming out from the
• 35:24
  different podcasts and the
• 35:25
  different media types
• 35:26
  criticizing CrossFit for X, Y, and Z,
• 35:29
  right?
• 35:29
  They have the opportunity to
• 35:31
  try to come up with a solution to that.
• 35:34
  And if it fits,
• 35:35
  there's nothing to say that
• 35:37
  CrossFit can't go, okay,
• 35:38
  they proved it can work in
• 35:39
  that direction.
• 35:40
  Let's pivot.
• 35:41
  Right?
• 35:43
  Yeah.
• 35:47
  When is the first event?
• 35:47
  When and where?
• 35:49
  They have not named.
• 35:50
  So all of that will be part
• 35:51
  of these announcements that
• 35:52
  are coming out over the next five weeks.
• 35:56
  Got it.
• 35:58
  Okay.
• 35:59
  Right now,
• 35:59
  they're focused on naming all
• 36:01
  the athletes that are signed.
• 36:04
  And since I last was on on Tuesday,
• 36:08
  they've signed Emma McQuaid,
• 36:10
  Victor Hoffer, and Roman Krennikoff.
• 36:15
  In addition to what was
• 36:16
  previously announced, Travis Mayer,
• 36:19
  Alexis Raptus, Yella Hosta,
• 36:22
  Patrick Vellner, Brooke Wells,
• 36:23
  Chandler Smith, and Alex Kazan.
• 36:29
  But my thought is, if I'm an athlete,
• 36:32
  you do both.
• 36:33
  Your career is short.
• 36:35
  Make the money where you can
• 36:36
  make the money.
• 36:36
  Yep.
• 36:40
  And any kind of publicity recognition,
• 36:44
  anything that's done from
• 36:45
  either organization,
• 36:47
  you get to benefit from.
• 36:50
  Just getting your name out there more.
• 36:51
  Yeah, it's great for the athletes.
• 36:55
  So, but again,
• 36:58
  apparently the entire twenty
• 37:00
  twenty five season will be
• 37:01
  in North America.
• 37:04
  And then twenty six, they look to expand.
• 37:08
  Now,
• 37:08
  I think that once they expand or if
• 37:10
  they expand,
• 37:12
  that's when it gets a little
• 37:13
  more tricky with the two seasons.
• 37:15
  Because it's going to be,
• 37:16
  the more events you put out there,
• 37:21
  the more events you put out there,
• 37:23
  the harder it's going to be
• 37:24
  to avoid another season.
• 37:27
  Yeah.
• 37:29
  Yeah,
• 37:29
  there's only so many Saturdays and
• 37:30
  Sundays in the year.
• 37:31
  Exactly.
• 37:33
  Exactly.
• 37:35
  So I'm excited for it.
• 37:38
  I think that one I've liked
• 37:41
  will ever since I've met him,
• 37:44
  I think that he can, um, I think he,
• 37:47
  he has a lot of good people behind him.
• 37:49
  And I think that he has put
• 37:50
  a lot of thought into this,
• 37:52
  especially with the community engagement.
• 37:55
  Um,
• 37:57
  I just, at the very least,
• 37:59
  I hope that they show that
• 38:01
  different innovations could
• 38:03
  change the way we do things
• 38:06
  and maybe have a consistent season.
• 38:14
  Um,
• 38:15
  so Corey makes this statement and I'm
• 38:17
  going to back this up.
• 38:18
  I feel like Travis happened
• 38:19
  to be there the day they
• 38:20
  signed Alexis and they felt
• 38:22
  guilty for not asking him.
• 38:24
  So they do go into how they
• 38:25
  pick the athletes and it was,
• 38:28
  they took the leaderboards
• 38:30
  from rogue in the games
• 38:31
  over the past two years,
• 38:33
  combine them together and
• 38:35
  came up with a top six team.
• 38:39
  Supposedly,
• 38:39
  they have offered the top
• 38:41
  sixteen athletes from that leaderboard,
• 38:43
  both men and women.
• 38:45
  Then they left four spots at
• 38:48
  large to go grab people
• 38:50
  they think will draw viewership,
• 38:52
  that will be good for the sport.
• 38:56
  Just arbitrary things that
• 38:57
  they think meet a criteria.
• 38:59
  Mm-hmm.
• 39:01
  I don't think Travis makes
• 39:02
  the top-sixteen because he
• 39:04
  was disqualified from Rogue
• 39:05
  in the qualifier two years ago.
• 39:09
  He missed the games due to
• 39:11
  injury last year,
• 39:13
  so I think he probably was
• 39:14
  not in the top-sixteen.
• 39:16
  But maybe they think he has
• 39:18
  enough fans or support or
• 39:20
  he's a good ambassador to
• 39:23
  bring in for this first year.
• 39:27
  I am more...
• 39:30
  Intrigued at how they picked
• 39:32
  Victor Hoffer.
• 39:35
  Because he didn't,
• 39:37
  he made the games last year
• 39:38
  and withdrew before the first event.
• 39:43
  And other than that.
• 39:51
  Yeah, it's relatively.
• 39:52
  Unknown.
• 39:52
  So, and even Emma McQuaid.
• 39:55
  has not been really
• 39:57
  competitive in the last few years.
• 39:58
  And I really like Emma.
• 39:59
  Like she's like, we've talked,
• 40:01
  I think she's a great person, but I,
• 40:04
  I don't know what she just
• 40:07
  has not been competitive in
• 40:09
  the sport in the last couple of years.
• 40:12
  Um,
• 40:13
  but the only time we have to worry
• 40:14
  about this is year one,
• 40:15
  because after this year,
• 40:17
  your top twenty will be
• 40:19
  based on the points you
• 40:20
  earn from the season prior.
• 40:23
  There's no judgment.
• 40:24
  There's no at-large bids.
• 40:27
  The twenty highest scoring
• 40:29
  athletes will be the people
• 40:32
  with the pro card in the following year.
• 40:41
  Judy Reed says,
• 40:42
  maybe just trying to get
• 40:43
  more European athletes.
• 40:44
  Maybe.
• 40:45
  Maybe.
• 40:46
  Maybe.
• 40:52
  Kenneth says,
• 40:54
  Travis is the old reliable
• 40:55
  vet to get people to watch.
• 40:56
  I believe that.
• 41:04
  It's almost like a lifetime
• 41:06
  achievement award as opposed to like,
• 41:11
  should they really be the people?
• 41:12
  But again,
• 41:13
  it only matters year one and
• 41:15
  then year two will take
• 41:18
  care of itself because
• 41:20
  either you score the points or you don't.
• 41:24
  but I'm anxious to see it
• 41:25
  play out and it gives us
• 41:26
  more to talk about on our show.
• 41:28
  So, uh,
• 41:31
  Really excited about that.
• 41:32
  I'm excited for them to announce places.
• 41:36
  Because at least with CrossFit now,
• 41:37
  we know where the in-person semis are.
• 41:40
  And I can already start to
• 41:42
  plan on which ones I can
• 41:43
  get to and which ones I can't.
• 41:47
  And we met at the Mayhem Classic.
• 41:49
  Yep.
• 41:50
  You going back for the second undertaking?
• 41:52
  I would love to.
• 41:53
  I would love to go back.
• 41:55
  That would be so great.
• 41:57
  That was the best
• 42:00
  competition I've ever
• 42:01
  witnessed in person.
• 42:05
  Now they were supposed to announce,
• 42:07
  they did on Monday,
• 42:08
  they talked about what
• 42:09
  theirs is going to be like,
• 42:11
  and it's using the open as a qualifier.
• 42:14
  It looks like it's going to
• 42:15
  be just a twenty person field for theirs,
• 42:20
  and they're going to try to
• 42:21
  do some community
• 42:23
  activations along with the
• 42:25
  competition during the day.
• 42:29
  Would that have been the
• 42:29
  first time I talked to Colton Mertens?
• 42:33
  Was that the classic?
• 42:34
  Was he there?
• 42:37
  I don't know.
• 42:39
  I remember Jeff Adler being there.
• 42:42
  I remember a tiny person being there,
• 42:44
  and I'm pretty sure that's
• 42:45
  when I became a Colton Mertens fan.
• 42:47
  I'll have to look that up.
• 42:51
  And Daniel Brandon,
• 42:51
  that's the first time we
• 42:52
  saw Daniel Brandon.
• 42:53
  Yeah.
• 42:53
  Like up close and personal.
• 42:55
  I actually asked her to be on the show.
• 43:01
  And she gave me an email to
• 43:03
  use to contact her.
• 43:05
  And then it took me like
• 43:06
  another year to get her on.
• 43:07
  Yeah.
• 43:10
  Yeah.
• 43:10
  That's funny.
• 43:12
  But that's where I
• 43:13
  interviewed Ben Smith and
• 43:14
  my battery ran out after
• 43:15
  four minutes and thirty seconds.
• 43:17
  Yeah.
• 43:18
  Good stuff.
• 43:18
  That was awesome.
• 43:20
  Um, but yeah, we had, it was a good time.
• 43:22
  I love the intimate setting.
• 43:25
  Um, and I, I,
• 43:27
  it's like a boutique in person semifinal.
• 43:30
  Yeah.
• 43:31
  My favorite was when we had to,
• 43:33
  when we judged the trail
• 43:34
  run and I got to ride in a
• 43:36
  Gator with a senior, just me,
• 43:39
  me and senior.
• 43:39
  It was fun.
• 43:40
  Yeah.
• 43:40
  He's a good dude.
• 43:42
  And I got to use the bathroom.
• 43:44
  I remember I used the bathroom in his, um,
• 43:48
  the gym and at seniors house
• 43:50
  the original barn that's
• 43:53
  cool I didn't get to do any
• 43:54
  of that stuff I just work
• 43:57
  security at the finish line
• 43:59
  I wasn't even a media
• 44:00
  member I was security at
• 44:01
  that event just doing in
• 44:03
  the back extra media stuff
• 44:06
  that I could get away with
• 44:07
  that was great so
• 44:14
  And then your guys from the
• 44:16
  MAC are doing Syndicate Crown as well.
• 44:21
  Love it.
• 44:22
  And then your TFX folks are
• 44:24
  doing an Oklahoma City version.
• 44:26
  Yeah, that's interesting.
• 44:28
  I wonder if it's going to be
• 44:29
  like the same.
• 44:30
  Is it Jeremy Teal and his
• 44:32
  whole team doing it?
• 44:33
  I guess.
• 44:33
  It's their team.
• 44:34
  They're just doing it in Oklahoma City.
• 44:39
  If you go to their website,
• 44:40
  they talk about how it was
• 44:42
  years in the making that
• 44:44
  they've always wanted to be
• 44:46
  like an elite CrossFit event.
• 44:47
  Because I think they're the
• 44:49
  oldest CrossFit competition.
• 44:52
  Yeah.
• 44:52
  FX has been around longer
• 44:53
  than any other major
• 44:55
  competition in the space.
• 44:57
  Yeah.
• 44:57
  Prior to the games.
• 45:00
  Yeah.
• 45:00
  And finally,
• 45:01
  they have made it to being a
• 45:03
  part of the game season.
• 45:06
  And they couldn't have held
• 45:07
  it in where they hold it
• 45:09
  outside of Austin.
• 45:09
  They need something a little
• 45:11
  more professional.
• 45:13
  Yeah.
• 45:15
  Corey says athlete control.
• 45:17
  So athlete control is actually a group.
• 45:20
  And you were security.
• 45:22
  I was security.
• 45:25
  And I was at the finish line
• 45:27
  making sure that the
• 45:31
  spectators didn't come down
• 45:33
  and mob the athletes.
• 45:36
  yeah you're like a bouncer
• 45:37
  totally yeah lots of lots
• 45:41
  of experience with bouncing um
• 45:49
  But yeah, so that's the news of the day.
• 45:54
  I'll be back tomorrow for
• 45:55
  lunch with the Clydesdale.
• 45:57
  If anybody wants to join on, they will.
• 45:59
  And it'll probably be less
• 46:02
  CrossFit talk tomorrow and
• 46:04
  more of the other stuff we
• 46:05
  do on lunch with the Clydesdale.
• 46:06
  But I wanted to get that WFP stuff out.
• 46:09
  I'll probably watch the
• 46:11
  Coffee Pods and Wads today.
• 46:12
  And if there's any update
• 46:13
  from what we learned on TEF, because...
• 46:19
  were some there were some
• 46:20
  follow-up questions that
• 46:21
  were left on the table for
• 46:22
  sure in that first
• 46:23
  interview and I'm hoping
• 46:25

• 46:28

• 46:30
  they did so yeah I'll watch
• 46:32

• 46:33
  pop on tomorrow we can I
• 46:33

• 46:33
  intelligently so so that'll
• 46:39
  be interesting um with that

  guys thank you so much for
• 46:42
  being here and yes kenneth
• 46:43
  you know how I uh
• 46:47
  I have an affinity for a
• 46:48
  finish line that all events
• 46:50
  at a CrossFit event should
• 46:51
  have a finish line and the
• 46:53
  athletes and a bouncer and
• 46:56
  a bathroom and a bouncer.
• 46:59
  Oh, and a bouncer.
