Lunch with the Clydesdale - We Can't Just be an Echo Chamber · Clydesdale Media Podcast

The best thing I did in my life
0:04
for peace and tranquility was to block
0:08
Frank.
0:09
But he had another avenue.
0:12
And he went after it today.
0:14
Let's talk about it next.
0:27
I love the chase and the hunt,
0:28
and I set the pace when I'm running.
0:30
I always take what I want,
0:31
and I always give it one hundred.
0:33
Don't need a bank, nor I'm funded.
0:34
Play the game like it's nothing.
0:36
I'm always thankful for something.
0:37
Don't take for granted, stay humble.
0:39
Now wake up!
0:40
It's time to look at the enemy.
0:42
Look in the mirror if he is no
0:44
friend to me.
0:46
What is going on, everybody?
0:48
Welcome to Lunch with the Clydesdale.
0:49
It is lunchtime.
0:52
Man, nobody ruins my day.
0:56
more than frank more than frank um i
1:01
had to do um internet security training
1:05
this morning
1:07
And so I was going through all that.
1:09
And then I tried to catch up on
1:11
Savan at high speed.
1:15
And then Frank goes in the chat.
1:19
It explodes into this rant that he does
1:23
all the time,
1:24
just spewing and spewing his...
1:27
bs all over everybody and then he calls
1:30
into the show and ruins that um it
1:35
is just ridiculous the he is the gnat
1:41
of crossfit he's that annoying little
1:43
thing that just buzzes around your face
1:46
and you're just swatting him away and
1:48
swatting away and he never leaves
1:51
He never, ever leaves.
1:53
Um,
1:53
I said in the chat that Frank is
1:56
a chatty Kathy doll that pulls his own
1:58
string and just says the same thing over
2:00
and over again,
2:01
hoping somebody is going to listen.
2:04
Ah,
2:05
best thing I ever did was block Frank.
2:08
And that's all I have to say about
2:10
that.
2:14
The net of CrossFit clip it.
2:17
Um,
2:19
Yeah, I know he's spewing right now.
2:21
I was listening as long as I could,
2:23
but then I wanted to come over and
2:24
hang out with my friends instead of
2:26
listening to that garbage.
2:28
So, yeah, it was just crazy.
2:32
So, with that, good to see you guys,
2:35
man.
2:37
It's good to be here and not be
2:39
rushed for appointments or things like
2:41
that.
2:42
But we got Meredith in the house.
2:43
We got Megan.
2:44
We got Corey.
2:45
We got Jody.
2:48
We got Vicky.
2:50
Man, they have messed up your guys' names.
2:54
So thank goodness I know most of you
2:56
through your avatar.
2:58
Denise is here.
3:01
Linda.
3:03
Eric Mackey.
3:07
Shanna.
3:09
So here we go.
3:10
There we go.
3:11
Nice.
3:12
Yeah,
3:12
don't give the squeaky wheel the grease it
3:14
whines for.
3:16
Eric, I have blocked him on everything.
3:18
I, I try not to block people.
3:20
I try to give everybody a voice and
3:22
be fair to that.
3:24
But that man,
3:26
that man was just too much.
3:28
So he got blocked on everything of my
3:30
accounts.
3:31
Uh,
3:31
cause he was clipping me for everything.
3:35
And, uh,
3:41
Uh, behold my avatar,
3:43
the upside down black and white old guy.
3:45
There we go.
3:46
Nice.
3:48
Amanda jumps in.
3:49
Good to see you, Amanda.
3:50
Here we go.
3:51
So, um,
3:53
We're going to talk about our normal
3:54
stuff.
3:56
Um, last night,
3:57
the blue Jays punched their ticket to the
3:59
world series.
4:00
Um,
4:00
I know that makes Carolyn Prevo happy as
4:02
a Toronto resident.
4:04
Um,
4:05
it's the first time that they've been
4:06
there since like the
4:14
George Springer hit a home run,
4:16
a three run Homer to take the lead
4:18
back for Toronto and they go on to
4:20
win.
4:21
And now we have blue Jays Dodgers.
4:25
I don't,
4:25
I hate when the big super teams win
4:27
all the time.
4:28
So yeah,
4:32
So not rooting for the Dodgers in the
4:33
World Series.
4:34
I'm rooting for the Blue Jays.
4:36
Hope they do well.
4:38
Super excited to see this.
4:39
I love playoff baseball.
4:41
I love the tension it brings.
4:44
I love the duel between the pitcher and
4:46
the hitter.
4:46
I know that's not for everybody.
4:48
It's a little bit slow for some,
4:50
but it's okay.
4:51
We have a little bit for everyone,
4:53
and that is awesome.
4:59
Okay.
5:00
Aaron Fraser,
5:01
you need a live call-in number,
5:02
so Frank can call in.
5:03
I have a live call-in number,
5:05
but with the lunch,
5:05
I don't always like to do it just
5:07
because I don't have a lot of time
5:10
because I'm doing this actually on my
5:12
lunch hour,
5:13
and I've blocked Frank from everything.
5:15
So Frank can't even come into the chat,
5:19
but I guess he could call the number
5:20
because I think he can still watch the
5:22
videos.
5:25
Okay.
5:30
Uh, Lito thought it was Wednesday.
5:32
Uh, I love those weeks.
5:34
I love the weeks when you get a
5:35
day towards the weekend when you,
5:39
when you mess it up, but nope,
5:41
it's not Wednesday.
5:42
It's only Tuesday.
5:44
Um, yeah, thank God, Aaron.
5:48
Yes.
5:49
I couldn't handle it anymore.
5:50
I blocked him last week on everything I
5:52
have.
5:56
fantasy football league is up for grabs
5:58
second through eleventh place is one game
6:00
apart yeah I'm finally getting my act
6:02
together I think I've won three in a
6:03
row in that took Howie out this week
6:11
so yeah finally on the upswing working
6:14
that waiver wire to the best of my
6:15
ability to try to improve that team but
6:19
what's going on so we got Jess how
6:21
are you girl miss you
6:26
Hope maybe we can collaborate again
6:28
someday soon.
6:31
Uh,
6:32
so we got the blue Jays last night.
6:33
They're going to the world series.
6:35
That's awesome.
6:36
I don't know.
6:37
Like the locker room celebration in
6:39
Toronto, they had like dance club lights.
6:42
I don't, um,
6:47
I don't know if that was like a
6:48
setup just for the playoffs or what,
6:51
but like the champagne celebration,
6:53
they had like club lights going on and
6:55
all the bit.
6:57
It was crazy.
6:59
Maybe they worked with the WFP to get
7:01
their lighting.
7:03
Good possibility.
7:06
Yeah.
7:09
Jess, I am good.
7:10
Thirty four weeks this week.
7:12
And yes, I can't wait to collaborate soon.
7:14
And you're going to you're going to have
7:15
your hands full, though.
7:18
Could have your hands full,
7:19
the little one,
7:20
but I'm so happy for you guys.
7:28
Speaking of collaborators,
7:30
Ishmael is heading over to Rogue for us.
7:33
So he'll be there capturing video and
7:35
picture content of the Rogue Invitational.
7:41
So even though I couldn't go over this
7:45
year, he can.
7:47
So we're super psyched about that,
7:49
to do that.
7:52
Getting all the info from them right now
7:56
on what they're going to provide.
7:58
what they're gonna do for him so uh
8:00
that's been fun to kind of work on
8:03
that uh the next thing i wanted to
8:05
talk about real quick is go back to
8:08
our sunday night show uh last night savon
8:13
did a week in review with dave uh
8:16
a review of the week in review with
8:18
dave castro and during that he he kind
8:23
of
8:24
Not kind of.
8:25
He went off on Karen a little bit
8:27
and what she said about J.R.
8:30
While I appreciate him talking about us,
8:33
and I don't think we ever said anything
8:36
bad about J.R.,
8:39
But the thing that I want to say
8:41
about the whole bit is we're a show.
8:44
We're trying to entertain.
8:45
We're trying to have subjects to talk
8:47
about.
8:48
And if we just agree with everything
8:50
that's going on or just praise everything
8:53
that's going on,
8:54
none of you are going to watch.
8:57
And so...
9:00
We have to look at things critically in
9:02
a way that makes sense to us.
9:06
Now,
9:06
what Carolyn was just trying to say is
9:08
she thought it would be cool if the
9:11
masters and the elites were all in one
9:14
group competing against each other and you
9:16
have two separate leaderboards.
9:18
I'm not really a big fan of that,
9:20
but I let her have her say.
9:23
And I,
9:23
and she has some validity to that,
9:25
but I don't think we should switch the
9:27
way we do competitions because there's one
9:30
dominant athlete.
9:33
What I was trying to say is Caroline
9:36
Klutz becomes a story because she's doing
9:40
something amazing.
9:41
And at thirty seven or thirty eight,
9:45
because she's been in the Masters for a
9:46
couple of years,
9:47
is doing something that we don't see very
9:50
often.
9:50
And that is competing with the elite
9:52
athletes at an elite level.
9:55
Um, it's happened like in tennis,
9:57
Jimmy Connor signed up for the U S
9:58
open one year and he made it like
10:00
all the way to quarterfinals.
10:02
And it becomes a big news story because
10:04
he hadn't been in tennis for years.
10:06
And all of a sudden he's competing with
10:08
the youngsters doing what they do.
10:10
It's happened at like the British opening
10:12
golf where a legend has a good couple
10:16
days gets into contention and is competing
10:19
with the young athletes.
10:20
It becomes the story then for the rest
10:23
of the week.
10:24
My only contention is that becomes a
10:27
story.
10:29
And it should have been...
10:30
And that should have been highlighted more
10:35
and more.
10:35
That's all.
10:37
That's all I wanted.
10:38
Everything else they did broadcast-wise
10:41
was so much improved.
10:43
And I think it was better than some
10:44
of the Hamilton Roads production.
10:48
That's all.
10:49
I...
10:50
I love the picture-in-picture with
10:52
multiple athletes on the screen and being
10:55
able to see more of the race.
10:56
I thought that was awesome.
11:03
Yes, Eric.
11:04
Huge lesson for CrossFit All Broadcast.
11:06
Add picture-in-picture, a full floor view,
11:09
and can still highlight athlete races.
11:11
That was incredible.
11:14
It was innovative.
11:15
It was...
11:18
It was fantastic,
11:20
and it should be adopted by as many
11:23
different broadcasters as possible.
11:28
And I've said this on the show a
11:29
million times.
11:30
Hamilton Roads is boring to me.
11:32
They are doing the same broadcast they
11:34
have been doing for twelve years.
11:37
I want something new.
11:38
And right now,
11:39
the Savon team did a better job
11:41
broadcasting this event than Hamilton
11:46
Roads has done.
11:47
With all those years of experience,
11:49
with all the truck innovations,
11:51
all the stuff,
11:52
it became easier to watch because I didn't
11:56
get just single shots of one athlete for
11:59
the whole event.
12:01
I got multiple athletes in multiple boxes
12:05
or side by sides during the event,
12:07
and I could see more of the races.
12:09
Now,
12:10
because it was only six athletes per heat,
12:13
I got great floor coverage of a whole
12:16
floor,
12:17
and that they did have an advantage with.
12:23
Shanna,
12:23
not many people at the comp seemed to
12:25
be aware of how well she was doing
12:26
at the time.
12:28
That storyline flew under the wire,
12:31
which was very unfortunate.
12:33
I agree.
12:36
It's a shame.
12:38
And Carolyn put it well in the reel
12:41
I released last night,
12:42
is if you're a coach or an athlete
12:44
in the elite division and you're not going
12:46
out there to watch Caroline Klutz go,
12:49
you know she's going to post a top
12:50
time.
12:51
She's going to show you how to attack
12:53
the workout.
12:54
It was great research for everybody else.
12:57
And that's where Jamie comes in and says,
12:59
can you imagine if she was competing head
13:01
to head with them and, and be,
13:03
and be able to race with them?
13:05
She may have even done better than doing
13:08
the workouts by herself.
13:16
Uh, Vic, uh, Jamie agree on Hamilton road,
13:18
Scott.
13:22
Um,
13:24
moose talent well at hamilton is dry it's
13:27
just the same thing like it there's no
13:31
there's no new graphics there's no new
13:34
format to it every it's the same order
13:37
of everything that happens during the
13:38
event it there's just nothing new
13:45
CrossFit, no need to defend yourself.
13:48
People are too sensitive.
13:49
Well,
13:49
I'm not really defending myself because
13:51
just like I can be critical of them
13:54
on Sunday night,
13:55
Siobhan can be critical of me on Monday
13:58
night.
13:58
It's what makes interesting podcasts.
14:01
Differing opinions make things
14:03
interesting.
14:04
And then you side with the people you
14:07
think you agree with on that topic.
14:09
And I can still be friends with Savon
14:10
and have a disagreement on how we looked
14:13
at Crash and how we looked at Sunday.
14:16
But I can also say if I feel
14:18
that something could have been done
14:19
differently.
14:20
That's all.
14:28
Switching to each athlete as or after they
14:31
finish is pointless.
14:32
CrossFit every broadcast.
14:34
Well,
14:36
that's if they're not stuck on someone
14:38
that has finished for thirty seconds and
14:40
watching them lay on the ground.
14:43
I think that's effective occasionally,
14:45
but they do it every single race.
14:50
Uh, David Reed,
14:50
why didn't she compete as an elite?
14:53
I really don't know why she didn't
14:55
probably because she knew she could win
14:57
the master's division and it paid more
15:00
than every position on the podium of elite
15:04
other than first.
15:06
But she has agreed to come on the
15:08
show this week,
15:09
but she's been so busy moving,
15:12
doing crash.
15:13
I'm hoping to get her scheduled later in
15:15
the week and we can ask her flat
15:16
out why she competes as a master's athlete
15:20
and not an elite athlete.
15:28
Cross that cross fat who programs, uh,
15:31
the rogue events.
15:32
Uh, it's generally Chris Spieler,
15:34
Josh Bridges, and Katie Henniger.
15:37
And from the way Josh talks about it,
15:40
Josh and Chris kind of come up with,
15:43
I think they're given kind of a template
15:45
and maybe some apparatus that Rogue wants
15:47
to highlight.
15:48
They come up with a plan,
15:50
and then Katie is the final say.
15:53
Katie is the one that says, well,
15:54
let's tweak it to this or tweak it
15:56
to that.
15:57
So that's kind of how it goes.
16:00
And the other reason I say that is,
16:03
In the past,
16:03
Rogue has always had that tailgate
16:05
coverage where it's an alternate desk
16:08
watching the event and talking,
16:10
and Josh is generally a part of that,
16:12
and he talks about that system live on
16:17
that show every single year.
16:21
So that's where I get that information.
16:25
I've also volunteered at Rogue as part of
16:29
their...
16:31
documentary team.
16:33
Um,
16:33
and so I've been in the areas where
16:36
they're talking and having those
16:38
conversations, Katie, Josh and Chris.
16:41
Um, and it's fascinating.
16:45
Katie definitely is the boss though.
16:47
I will say that.
16:51
Can't believe that's just two weeks out.
16:54
Insane.
16:57
Um,
17:00
I think that's pretty much it from Crash,
17:07
I think.
17:08
I was trying to think if there's anything
17:14
else I wanted to touch on.
17:16
Really,
17:16
really enjoying the behind-the-scenes
17:18
stuff coming out.
17:22
I want to say this about Hiller's
17:24
behind-the-scenes.
17:26
I like that he's doing it almost as
17:28
like a mini-doc.
17:30
like his version is like,
17:32
here we are before event one,
17:34
here's the athletes behind the scenes.
17:36
And then here's some clips of them doing
17:38
the workout.
17:39
And here's some of their times as they
17:41
finish, um, doing it that way.
17:43
It's,
17:44
it's a very interesting and new way of
17:46
doing a BTS as opposed to like a
17:49
full game stock.
17:51
Um,
17:53
and because he's talking to the athletes
17:55
beforehand and then he's showing you their
17:58
times and how they actually did in the
18:00
workout after, I really liked that format.
18:04
I thought it was pretty cool.
18:06
Um, and it,
18:09
it gave a little bit of different flavor
18:11
than some of the other, uh,
18:13
BTS that I've seen.
18:15
Um, so yeah.
18:22
Um,
18:24
The other piece we talked about a little
18:26
bit on Sunday Night Show is that there
18:31
was a person,
18:34
a media member on the floor that some
18:36
of the athletes had to go around because
18:39
that person was standing in their lane
18:42
when they were moving.
18:44
And everybody was asking, was it me?
18:45
Was it me?
18:46
And it was nobody that I really know.
18:50
I just saw it.
18:51
And I would name names if I knew.
18:53
Just like I did at WFP when I
18:55
got a picture of the guy right on
18:58
the person doing a GHD,
19:00
like inches away from them as they were
19:02
going back to the floor,
19:03
and he was like right there in their
19:05
face.
19:06
I clipped a screenshot of that and just
19:09
showed how distracting that has to be.
19:13
And it's so frustrating to me because if
19:18
I'm watching...
19:20
a UFC fight,
19:21
there's nobody inside the octagon with the
19:23
athletes.
19:24
If I'm watching an NFL game,
19:26
there's no media member on the field.
19:30
If I'm watching an NBA contest,
19:32
there's no media person on the floor.
19:34
They are all outside the ropes.
19:38
And so that is what infuriates me about
19:44
media members being there because it's
19:46
already a crowded floor.
19:47
You're trying to make it a spectator
19:49
sport.
19:50
And most of the time they're just getting
19:51
in the way of the spectators or the
19:54
viewers on the stream and you can't see,
19:57
uh, what's going on.
20:01
Um,
20:04
And that is very, very frustrating for me.
20:07
And Jess kind of puts it, and again,
20:10
I'm a media member.
20:10
I have a camera.
20:11
I shoot video.
20:13
But I'm not like a professional by any
20:15
means.
20:16
I'm self-taught.
20:17
Maybe a little bit of my daughter,
20:18
who is a professional, teaches me.
20:20
But Jess says, get a longer lens.
20:23
I agree.
20:27
Shanna, that happened to me at the games.
20:29
Judge in my lane during handstand walks,
20:31
so annoying and unnecessary.
20:34
Um, I'll be honest, craft fat, uh,
20:38
Caleb and Pedro,
20:39
I did not see on the broadcast.
20:42
Um, no,
20:43
I didn't watch every minute of every event
20:45
this weekend.
20:46
Uh, I was working on some other stuff,
20:49
but I didn't,
20:50
they'd never became noticeable to me.
20:51
This was a person I believe that was
20:54
hired by crash, uh, to put out reels,
20:57
things of that nature.
20:59
But I can't even guarantee that.
21:00
Cause I don't know who the person is.
21:03
But I did not notice Caleb.
21:07
I did see Pedro a few times,
21:08
but never like blocking an athlete.
21:16
Chet Anufi.
21:18
It was Rick Jones and happened multiple
21:20
times.
21:20
I cringed when it happened with Paige.
21:23
There we go.
21:23
There's the name.
21:28
And the media is not always paying
21:29
attention to what they do on the floor,
21:31
have pics of one cameraman looking away
21:33
during a video.
21:34
Well,
21:34
the piece I saw with Paige and apparently
21:38
Rick Jones is he did not even see
21:41
her.
21:43
And she had to go around him in
21:45
her lane to get from the flip sled
21:49
to the handstand push-ups.
21:58
Eric Mackey, so conflicted.
22:00
Got to get to a noon class for
22:01
open workout.
22:02
Nineteen wall balls and row calories.
22:06
Oh,
22:07
that's I always think I'm going to like
22:10
that workout until I get into it.
22:12
But good luck with that, Eric.
22:13
Holy cow.
22:17
Jay Birch,
22:18
I've run into so many camera people when
22:20
judging.
22:27
Or get higher up and see different vantage
22:29
point.
22:30
That's a possibility too.
22:36
Tristan, fun story,
22:38
threw my hat at a media person who
22:40
was in the way of one of my
22:41
athletes at a comp once.
22:42
There you go.
22:45
Take matters into your own hands.
22:50
Uh,
22:50
nineteen point one was my first ever open
22:52
workout.
22:53
Also the first time I ever got tunnel
22:55
vision.
23:01
Jamie, we have row and wall balls today.
23:06
Yo, two?
23:07
I think two.
23:09
She was at the Lions game last night.
23:11
Maybe she's still a little hungover.
23:19
Rick Jones, he's Crash's main media guy.
23:22
He didn't interfere with the weight
23:23
loading things.
23:25
He didn't interfere with the weight
23:26
loading things to learn from.
23:28
There we go.
23:40
Denise Moore,
23:42
I appreciate the break and wave to the
23:44
camera.
23:46
That's making lemonade out of lemons right
23:48
there, Denise.
23:52
Yeah.
23:53
Jamie sent me a picture last night.
23:56
I think she had a good time at
23:57
the Lions game.
24:01
Chattanoofy,
24:02
that was my first ever workout, Corey.
24:05
First ever workout?
24:06
Was Open Workout in
24:09
Oh, first open workout.
24:11
Okay.
24:12
Okay.
24:15
My first workout was Murph,
24:17
so I guess I don't have no room
24:18
to talk.
24:23
It was a blast.
24:24
They played so well last night.
24:28
My question to you is,
24:29
do you like the night,
24:33
what do they call those uniforms?
24:35
The all black with the Hawaiian blue
24:39
helmets?
24:40
I love the Hawaiian blue helmets.
24:42
I think they're better than the silver
24:43
ones, but I'm not a Lions fan.
24:46
I'm just looking at it from aesthetic
24:47
point of view.
24:49
You're the Lions fan, so.
24:50
I need Dan Campbell to do some
24:55
motivational speeches for CrossFit.
24:58
That could help.
25:01
The Bears have Ben Johnson now who learned
25:03
from him.
25:04
He's doing awesome.
25:05
I love his speeches.
25:08
Never,
25:08
ever did the Bears show the locker room
25:11
celebrations after games.
25:12
And now that they have Ben Johnson,
25:15
they put them out for public view after
25:19
every single game now.
25:30
did not know this is a fashion show
25:32
uh trish you just came in we talked
25:34
about a whole bunch of other stuff before
25:35
uh the uniforms uh i don't know how
25:42
anyone affords a camera so how i did
25:46
it
25:47
How I did it, Grant,
25:48
was I sold off all of my sports
25:50
memorabilia.
25:52
I had like thirty signed mini helmets,
25:55
sold them off on eBay.
25:57
I had every card that Walter Payton ever
26:00
made, sold those off on eBay.
26:04
I had a whole bunch of seventy Steeler
26:05
rookie cards, sold them off on eBay,
26:08
and that got me my camera.
26:16
I'm just happy I got the iPhone XII
26:18
finally.
26:19
That's a darn decent cam.
26:20
Yeah,
26:22
what's crazy is the phone cameras are
26:24
almost as good.
26:25
Now,
26:25
the only thing that the camera gets me
26:28
is with the longer lens,
26:29
I can get really close shots.
26:38
In order to get something that surpasses
26:39
the iPhone,
26:40
I feel like it's a five grand or
26:41
more.
26:41
I paid like twenty five hundred.
26:45
for mine.
26:47
And I'm really happy with it.
26:50
Now the lenses are crazy.
26:52
That,
26:52
that was just the camera body was twenty
26:54
five grand or not twenty five grand,
26:56
twenty five hundred.
27:03
Vicki,
27:04
I've been looking at cameras for almost a
27:05
year.
27:06
I hear you.
27:14
i sold off all my sports memorabilia for
27:16
weed to throw a party in high school
27:18
unfortunately yeah that would have been a
27:20
bad decision the tech changes so fast it
27:30
does and once you the thing about a
27:34
camera like once you buy one you're pretty
27:36
much stuck
27:38
in that lane.
27:39
Like if you buy a Canon,
27:40
you're stuck in Canon.
27:41
If you buy a Nikon,
27:42
you're stuck in Nikon.
27:43
If you buy a Sony, you're stuck there.
27:46
And because the lenses are so expensive,
27:51
you just have to kind of keep,
27:54
at least your lenses can go from camera
27:56
to camera.
28:04
And Jess is saying, any camera will work,
28:06
person behind the shutter.
28:21
What's a good app for IG Reels,
28:23
et cetera?
28:29
Oh, boy.
28:31
I don't know what you're looking for,
28:32
Vicki, specifically.
28:36
There's one that I got that does captions,
28:38
and then it's added some other stuff to
28:40
it.
28:41
It is captions is what it's called.
28:45
It has some functionality.
28:48
CapCut says Jenny.
28:52
But my,
28:53
the video software I use to edit my
28:56
long form videos has just added an AI
28:58
feature where they'll take my long form
29:01
podcast and they'll cut it into like ten
29:03
different reels.
29:05
And it's done a really good job and
29:06
it's saved me so much time with reels
29:10
that I'm able to put out way more
29:11
reels in a week than I used to
29:13
be able to do.
29:15
Yeah.
29:16
occasionally like I had a week,
29:18
two weeks ago or something like everyone
29:20
at picked was just awful.
29:22
Um,
29:22
and so I was just kind of stuck.
29:25
Um, but yeah.
29:33
can't believe what keeping it real got rid
29:34
of a signed roberto clemente poster which
29:38
in the pittsburgh area would be worth a
29:40
fortune uh and a psa jordan rookie nine
29:44
gosh what's that thousands you could have
29:47
a pretty nice camera grant um
30:00
What is this I heard about JY being
30:02
a grant?
30:03
I don't even know.
30:11
I don't know what that means.
30:21
Trish, what did you hear?
30:27
Ah, now I know what she's saying.
30:29
Just took a second.
30:32
Um, so there, okay, that's going to be,
30:36
I'll watch out for that.
30:39
Um,
30:42
the last thing I wanted to talk about,
30:43
and this, uh,
30:44
I'm reminded by this because Jenny's here.
30:48
During the crash competition,
30:50
Colton was interviewed by the Savant
30:52
Podcast.
30:53
He went off on a little bit of
30:55
a rant about people cutting videos of
30:58
their workouts, posting them,
31:02
and then kind of blasting them.
31:05
Not kind of, blasting them.
31:07
And then, and kind of left it vague.
31:13
My question to you is,
31:17
My question to you is not posting.
31:21
Okay.
31:22
My question to you is it is obvious
31:25
that Colton loves to have a chip on
31:27
his shoulder when he's competing.
31:30
He likes to take what people say about
31:32
him,
31:32
and he uses that as fuel in his
31:36
training and when he competes.
31:40
There's also people like Jason Hopper who
31:43
has admitted that he has a burn book
31:45
in his phone.
31:46
Justin Medeiros has admitted that he has a
31:48
burn book in his phone of clipping
31:51
everything people say about them.
31:53
Do you need to have a chip on
31:56
your shoulder to be a great CrossFit
31:58
athlete?
32:01
That is my question to you.
32:03
And I'm sure this is not about...
32:07
I'm sure this is not universal,
32:09
but I think that the great athletes find
32:13
anything to fuel themselves.
32:15
And because Grant brought him up,
32:16
Michael Jordan is infamous for even making
32:19
up stories in his head that weren't true
32:22
to fuel him to be even more competitive
32:25
on the floor.
32:32
And so my question is,
32:34
do you have a chip on your shoulder?
32:37
To be better.
32:43
Tristan says, no, but it won't hurt.
32:50
The movement doctor says,
32:52
you need to be an addict.
32:58
Trish, anything goes.
33:05
Yeah.
33:11
says,
33:11
you need some anger to be able to
33:13
perform at a high level,
33:15
regardless of the sport.
33:37
Uh, CJ,
33:38
you're all showed was yesterday was great.
33:40
I got caught up and it was a
33:42
good show yesterday.
33:47
So I guess CJ is the one Oh
33:49
one, one Oh, Oh, Oh one.
33:51
Gosh, man,
33:51
this change has been awful or no,
33:54
the movement doctor.
33:54
That's CJ.
33:56
Okay.
33:56
I'll figure this out at some point.
33:59
Uh, Trish,
33:59
I like the duality of Colton chip on
34:02
shoulder, but has a sense of humor.
34:04
I think that's really,
34:04
that's a great way to put it.
34:06
He does have a chip on his shoulder,
34:07
but he doesn't let it like fuel his
34:10
life.
34:11
He just lets it fuel him as an
34:12
athlete.
34:13
And he's really good at,
34:16
at walking the line between the two.
34:19
I would argue that when Justin was really
34:21
mad,
34:22
he let the fuel overtake some of his
34:26
life.
34:26
When I first met Justin way back when,
34:29
he was really easy to talk to,
34:31
really fun to be around.
34:33
And then there was a period where he
34:34
got really quiet and to himself because I
34:39
think he let the fuel go too much
34:42
or burn too hot.
34:47
So...
34:51
I think Colton rides that line way better
34:53
than most.
34:58
And then Corey,
34:59
who's going to be on with me tomorrow.
35:00
Lito,
35:01
I have a folder in my phone called
35:02
receipts.
35:04
He's actually shown me some of the
35:05
receipts.
35:06
This Corey has a nice chip.
35:16
Uh,
35:16
CrossFit says there's a lot of money on
35:18
the line, so you need to stay focused.
35:20
I can see Justin doing that.
35:27
Uh, uh,
35:33
they just hate on Colton because we praise
35:35
them so much.
35:36
They jelly.
35:38
So I'm assuming Jenny is saying that he
35:41
was responding to some hate he was getting
35:44
from some other people who were jealous of
35:48
the publicity he gets.
35:55
And Moose says it does make for great
35:57
storylines.
35:59
It does.
36:02
I think.
36:05
I do think I was that person that
36:07
always,
36:08
if someone told me I couldn't do
36:10
something,
36:12
I would be so damn stubborn and try
36:17
to prove those people wrong.
36:26
And sometimes that gets me into trouble.
36:29
Because I don't just do that in a
36:31
sports sense.
36:32
Sometimes it's in life and I need to
36:35
learn to figure out where it's appropriate
36:37
and where it's not.
36:40
But I do think that I use the
36:44
fuel.
36:47
every time i've been super successful and
36:50
we talked about this a little bit
36:51
yesterday every time i've been super
36:53
successful in my athletic career or in
36:56
weight loss or in crossfit it's i had
36:59
a rival i had that one person that
37:02
i wanted to beat every single day uh
37:05
that kind of looked at me and said
37:07
you can't do this um
37:12
And then it was everything in my being
37:15
to make sure that person never beat me
37:18
again.
37:25
I don't think I ever kept like receipts
37:27
on my phone because back then all we
37:29
had was stone tablet and chisel.
37:32
But yeah, I mentioned even yesterday,
37:38
like I had an, maybe it was yesterday.
37:41
I don't know.
37:42
I mentioned it on Sunday night that I
37:44
had a rival, and his name was Todd,
37:46
and I would just do everything in my
37:49
power to beat that man.
37:52
Everything in my power to beat that man.
38:01
The Simi,
38:02
I think the longer you do CrossFit,
38:03
the longer you realize you're your own
38:05
worst enemy,
38:06
and it's just you versus the old you.
38:08
I wish I could get there, Simi.
38:11
I think I have a problem.
38:13
And I have a problem.
38:17
And here's where I struggle with this a
38:19
lot right now.
38:21
This is confessional time.
38:23
So I have the old, old Scott,
38:25
the five hundred pound Scott.
38:28
who then became the old Scott that had
38:31
lost two hundred and fifty plus pounds and
38:33
was like two hundred and sixty and getting
38:36
really,
38:36
really fit and would get crazy at the
38:40
gym.
38:40
Right.
38:42
Then I had a back injury and then
38:44
things changed.
38:45
So now it's me versus which old Scott.
38:49
There's the old Scott that was like really
38:51
fit that I,
38:52
my body just can't do what it was
38:54
doing then.
38:55
But then there's the old,
38:57
old Scott that I really need to be
38:58
better than and get better and,
39:01
and compete against him.
39:03
And I'm,
39:03
I'm having a hard time in my mind,
39:08
not comparing myself to the old Scott,
39:11
but going after the old, old Scott.
39:18
I hope that makes sense.
39:23
Because what you say is true.
39:27
It should be me versus me.
39:36
Yeah, you feel me.
39:37
It's exactly that.
39:39
Three fifty down to one sixty five up
39:41
to two seventy down to one ninety five.
39:43
Yeah.
39:43
Yeah.
39:44
And now I'm learning how do I use
39:46
this new body in a way that it
39:50
will never do what the two-sixty Scott
39:55
could do.
39:56
It doesn't mean I can't be successful
39:59
again,
40:00
but it's never going to be able to
40:01
lift those weights.
40:02
It's never going to be able to do
40:04
all the things it could do then because
40:06
I've had twelve back procedures, right?
40:19
Scott,
40:19
you can't compare yourself to who you
40:20
were.
40:21
That's no different than comparing
40:23
yourself today with you at twenty.
40:25
All you can do is compare yourself to
40:27
yesterday.
40:29
Gosh, it's I hear you.
40:31
I believe you.
40:33
But actually putting that into practice is
40:36
really, really hard.
40:41
But the inside Scott is great.
40:43
Well, I want the outside Scott to match.
40:51
uh moose comparison is a thief of joy
40:54
even against yourself each evolution
40:56
brings success failures lessons learned
41:03
again all these things make sense to me
41:05
logically and
41:12
And I know all these to be true.
41:14
Everything you guys are saying is true.
41:18
It's just getting my mind around that and
41:21
to embrace that in a way that's healthy
41:24
for me.
41:28
George,
41:29
it's me at fifty eight versus me at
41:30
fifty and I'm losing.
41:37
I see me.
41:38
I don't have answers,
41:39
but thank you for voicing that.
41:41
I feel that to my core.
41:47
Vicki, I get it.
41:48
I lost sixty pounds on this journey and
41:50
CJ can attest how hard I can be
41:52
on myself.
41:53
So I'll give you the advice he gave
41:55
me.
41:55
Stop moving the goalpost.
42:02
That's a good one.
42:04
I say that to my daughter all the
42:05
time.
42:07
I just,
42:07
I can say that and I can mean
42:09
it.
42:10
Now I've just got to do it.
42:21
I can't compare my sixty seven year old
42:23
Denise to twenty five year old Denise and
42:25
her potential to lift heavy.
42:35
amanda not comparing yourself to your old
42:37
self is easier said than done it is
42:39
so so so much easier said than done
42:44
but i'm gonna work on it i'm gonna
42:47
work meredith it's hard four kids later
42:52
and i'm not gonna have the body that
42:53
i did but i can still be the
42:55
best version of my current life i'm i'm
42:59
with you i i look at i look
43:01
at my mom and i look at my
43:03
in-laws
43:05
And I don't want to struggle with the
43:10
basic things in life when I'm older.
43:13
You know,
43:14
still being able to do a burpee in
43:16
my fifties is a blessing and it is
43:20
awesome.
43:21
And that means if you go down,
43:26
if you fall down,
43:27
you get right back up and
43:35
That is life as you get older.
43:38
And I want to be able to do
43:39
that for as long as I live.
43:41
If I can still do a burpee in
43:43
my nineties, that will make me happy.
43:46
Now I've got to figure out the in-between
43:48
to get my outside self back to where
43:51
I need it to be.
44:00
CJ,
44:00
my athlete's just hanging out in your
44:02
chat.
44:03
I see you too.
44:08
Corey Leonard,
44:09
I can promise you I'm not the same
44:10
human I was ten years ago.
44:12
Hell,
44:12
I'm not the same person I was ten
44:13
hours ago.
44:14
And I think that's the point.
44:15
Keep growing.
44:16
Keep moving.
44:17
Don't or stay stagnant.
44:21
And thank you, Vicki, for this.
44:25
Yeah.
44:27
So back on the original subject,
44:29
do you need a chip on your shoulder
44:31
to be successful?
44:33
And I think from you guys,
44:34
I'm hearing that it can be a positive
44:37
thing,
44:37
but it can also be a negative thing
44:41
depending on how you use it.
44:44
And what Colton did at crash,
44:47
he used it in a good way and
44:49
he's able to walk the line.
44:53
He's able to walk the line between the
44:56
chip being used in the right way and
44:59
not leak into his day-to-day life.
45:03
Um,
45:03
and I think others have used it as
45:05
well and maybe not as successfully.
45:09
Um, uh, Corey, I don't need a chip,
45:14
but I damn sure have a chip.
45:24
So interesting conversation guys.
45:27
I enjoyed that.
45:30
Um,
45:38
APL five-year plan, ESA section seven.
45:55
I was so confused.
45:57
So confused.
45:59
I do that too, Simi.
46:05
I have my work computer up.
46:06
I usually have the podcasts on in my
46:08
laptop off to the side.
46:11
And sometimes I think my mouse is
46:12
connected to my laptop.
46:14
Yeah, and I mess up.
46:20
Then I've explained to my coworkers why
46:22
I'm talking about CrossFit in Teams
46:26
meetings.
46:33
What's your why?
46:36
Well, that's a good subject.
46:39
Maybe Corey and I will talk about that
46:42
tomorrow.
46:44
Talk about the why.
46:46
That's my favorite question to ask
46:48
athletes,
46:48
and it's probably my least favorite
46:51
question to answer myself.
46:57
So, yeah, that's fun.
47:00
And I love that Jay Burch is turning
47:02
it around on me.
47:05
So maybe Corey and I will talk about
47:06
that tomorrow.
47:09
Because he's trying to make the CrossFit
47:11
Games as a Masters athlete.
47:13
And I'll talk about my why.
47:16
