Lunch with the Clydesdale & Cowboy - Can Pairs Bring New People to the Open? · Clydesdale Media Podcast

0:03
Well, after a day off, we are back,
0:05
rested, recovered.
0:07
Hey, maybe I took some thirdsy last night.
0:31
From the gym to the screen, yeah,
0:33
we cover it all.
0:34
Midday motivation every time you press
0:36
call.
0:37
Lunch with the Clydesdale.
0:39
Cowboy bring the heat.
0:41
Crossfit, boobies, music on repeat.
0:45
Half hour hustle, yeah,
0:46
we building that brand.
0:47
Grab a plate, tune in now,
0:49
you part of the fam.
0:55
It's lunchtime.
1:00
What's going on, everybody?
1:01
I cannot wait to get back to my
1:02
soundboard and some Yabba Dabba Doo.
1:04
I miss the Yabba Dabba Doo.
1:07
Yeah.
1:08
Is that weird?
1:09
No, not at all.
1:10
I also miss Yabba Dabba Doo.
1:14
Here's the thing, dude.
1:15
I'm old enough to remember Yabba Dabba
1:16
Doo.
1:17
Like, it was on,
1:18
which I know they weren't.
1:20
It was all reruns when I was a
1:21
kid, but they were new to me.
1:23
So, like,
1:24
I watched me a whole bunch of the
1:25
Flintstones and the Jetsons,
1:27
for that matter.
1:29
Well,
1:30
if you watch the Flintstones back in the
1:32
day,
1:33
the opening of the show is him working
1:37
the pterodactyl crane,
1:40
and the whistle blows,
1:42
and he yells yabba-dabba-doo and slides
1:44
down the tail.
1:45
The yabba-dabba-doo is to signify, hey,
1:47
the whistle's blown, we're on launch.
1:50
That's rock.
1:53
That is the genesis of the
1:56
yabba-dabba-doo.
2:01
Joseph Ramirez,
2:02
I need a formal apology for not being
2:03
here yesterday and throwing off my entire
2:05
day.
2:06
In writing will suffice.
2:09
Apparently this Joseph's sternly written
2:11
memo to us that we need to have
2:15
a show.
2:16
He texted me yesterday to check on me
2:17
because he hadn't heard from me all
2:18
weekend.
2:21
I was like,
2:21
I've been at camp all weekend, dude.
2:22
I love you.
2:23
I'm still good.
2:24
I'm alive.
2:27
Yeah.
2:28
For good reason.
2:29
We weren't on the air yesterday.
2:31
My daughter and my wife and I were
2:33
going to go to Glacier on Saturday and
2:36
Um,
2:36
that got kind of rained out for lack
2:39
of better term.
2:41
Um,
2:41
we wanted to go when the weather was
2:43
nicer.
2:44
Um,
2:44
and so we shifted and pivoted to
2:46
yesterday, uh,
2:48
made the three hour drive from great
2:50
falls,
2:51
Montana up to glacier national park.
2:54
And I'm telling you, dude,
2:56
if you ever have the opportunity,
2:59
it is well worth every second of going.
3:05
After we went to Olympic two years ago,
3:13
my wife wants to go to whichever one
3:16
it is up north,
3:17
like around Maine on the East Coast.
3:21
Yeah, I didn't want to go there.
3:23
Whichever one that is,
3:24
she wants to do that one.
3:26
And then,
3:27
like I was telling you before we got
3:29
on air, she's been to Banff,
3:30
which is like you let me know.
3:32
It's basically the sister park of Glacier.
3:36
But I want to do Glacier as well.
3:38
It's amazing some of the landscape that
3:41
this country has that people just probably
3:42
don't appreciate as much as they should.
3:45
Some of the most beautiful places.
3:46
Acadia.
3:47
Thank you, Andrew Stanton.
3:49
That people just don't appreciate.
3:50
Yeah.
3:52
So I would say that Glacier is probably
3:55
the sister to Banff because Banff is even
3:58
further north.
3:59
It's in Canada.
4:01
It's less touched by human hands even.
4:05
The mountains are bigger.
4:07
But we got there,
4:09
and my daughter's taking pictures and sent
4:11
us pictures,
4:12
and my mom came out last May,
4:14
and they did their thing up there.
4:17
But those times,
4:19
it's called Road to the Sun, was closed.
4:23
And apparently it gets closed due to
4:27
weather pretty easily.
4:28
Any kind of snow, it is closed.
4:32
So we got there and it had snowed
4:34
last week up in the mountains and we
4:37
asked if it was open and they said
4:40
it is open the whole way today.
4:43
And we're like, okay.
4:45
And my daughter's like, we got to go,
4:46
we got to go.
4:46
And I'm like, oh my gosh,
4:48
I just drove three and a half hours
4:49
to get here.
4:52
This is a three hour tour through the
4:54
park and then we've got to go three
4:55
hours back.
4:56
And the dad mode was like grumpy old
4:59
man.
5:00
Do I really want to do this drive?
5:02
Yeah.
5:03
I've seen this pretty lake already.
5:05
I've seen some mountain.
5:07
And she goes,
5:08
I just want to take you to one
5:09
place and we can turn around and come
5:10
back.
5:11
I said, okay, we'll do that.
5:14
We get into the park and the minute
5:16
like you get onto this road to the
5:19
sun, the mountains get like three, four,
5:22
five times bigger.
5:23
Yeah.
5:24
And I was like, okay,
5:25
we're doing the whole thing.
5:27
We're here.
5:28
We're here.
5:28
And now I'm committed.
5:31
Now I'm committed to this thing.
5:32
And so we start through the park and
5:38
all of a sudden there's this point where
5:40
you start weaving up the mountain.
5:44
Yep.
5:45
And basically you're driving on top of
5:47
yourself like as you go up.
5:50
The reason it is closed for any snow
5:52
at all is I'm not sure that when
5:56
two cars pass,
5:58
you can fit a credit card between the
6:01
rock wall, the other car,
6:05
and the going off the cliff.
6:07
Yeah.
6:10
To say my wife shit herself eight times
6:14
is probably an understatement.
6:19
She didn't like a single moment of going
6:22
up the mountain.
6:23
And my daughter,
6:24
and every time I pulled off,
6:25
they had these little pull-offs.
6:27
Every time I pulled off so we could
6:29
go look at some stuff,
6:30
she freaked out that I had just ripped
6:33
the wheel off of the cliff.
6:37
i understand that feeling from your
6:40
perspective from your perspective because
6:42
we had the exact same thing happen when
6:43
we went to uh olympic so yeah i
6:47
got it so there were moments where my
6:49
my wife refused to get out of the
6:51
car and and my daughter and i would
6:54
go take pictures and look and look down
6:57
and do all the stuff and uh it
7:00
was it was so breathtaking like so
7:04
breathtaking
7:06
If you have any doubt that God exists,
7:09
go to this place and you will know
7:12
for a fact God exists.
7:14
There's a peak called Heaven's Peak that
7:17
looked like it stretched to the sun.
7:21
Absolutely insane.
7:22
He made all of that and remembered to
7:23
make me.
7:24
That's how I look at that whenever I
7:27
see stuff like that.
7:27
It's fantastic.
7:30
It was...
7:32
And the funny thing is like,
7:34
as we're going up the switchbacks,
7:35
I guess they're called there were people
7:39
on motorcycles.
7:40
I was like that,
7:42
that is the way to do this.
7:44
Yeah.
7:44
Cause then you have some room, right?
7:46
Like, and I am,
7:49
I am pretty much I'm pretty much fearless
7:54
with a lot of things.
7:56
Like I don't mind heights.
7:57
I don't mind things like that.
8:00
There were a couple moments where the,
8:03
the proximity to the cliff edge in my
8:05
car got me a little, uh,
8:10
a little perplexed.
8:12
Not going to lie.
8:13
Dude.
8:14
No, I often,
8:15
one hundred percent feel that, um,
8:19
for us when we went up um i
8:22
forget which mountain it was there's
8:23
hurricane uh ridge they called it going up
8:27
went back because you're on like you're on
8:29
the mountain side right like the mountain
8:31
is right out out of that window coming
8:33
back down when you're on the cliff side
8:38
coming back down uh much much like you
8:42
usually jennifer was
8:44
had one hand on the armrest and one
8:48
hand on the door.
8:49
And like you couldn't pry her out of
8:50
there with the jaws of life.
8:51
It was outstanding.
8:52
Oh, I'm just driving.
8:54
Look,
8:55
Julie was in the backseat and she was
8:57
ducked down behind our seat so she
9:00
couldn't see.
9:01
Not even looking.
9:02
Not even looking.
9:03
Occasionally we'd say, hey,
9:04
look at this waterfall or hey,
9:06
look at and she would pop up just
9:08
enough to look and then back down she
9:10
went.
9:14
Meg said,
9:15
Glacier is definitely God's country.
9:17
The sky is five percent bigger there.
9:19
Everything is bigger there.
9:20
Like you feel so small.
9:23
Oh, so small.
9:24
We got to the top and Corey,
9:27
my daughter, Corey said, hey, mom,
9:30
if you get let's we'll just go back
9:32
instead of pressing on.
9:34
If this is in my wife goes,
9:36
there's no way in hell we're going back
9:38
down the same way we came up.
9:40
I am not.
9:41
I am not doing that again.
9:44
Not doing that again.
9:45
You lost your damn mind.
9:48
Outstanding, dude.
9:49
They had a thing called the Weeping Wall
9:51
where there was like melting glacier water
9:54
coming down and the rock wall was wet
9:57
and it looked like it was like weeping.
10:01
It was just majestic, man.
10:04
I can't.
10:05
I am so glad that we did the
10:08
whole thing.
10:10
So there were points, Birch,
10:11
we were at like forty five hundred feet
10:14
elevation and you can feel it like I've
10:17
never been that high in my life.
10:21
Well,
10:22
in nature and like there are moments like
10:28
your your breath is taken away.
10:30
Yeah.
10:31
Fun times.
10:33
Like literally, not like, ooh,
10:34
that's pretty.
10:35
My breath is taking away.
10:36
But literally.
10:37
Yeah, no, physically.
10:38
The air was so thin.
10:40
I was like, oh.
10:41
Yeah.
10:42
Okay, calm down.
10:43
You're fine.
10:44
Just need some breath.
10:45
There's plenty of oxygen for everybody.
10:49
Not just hoarding it.
10:51
That's outstanding, Dean.
10:52
I'm glad you got to go.
10:54
I know you told us you probably wouldn't
10:56
be able to go that day.
10:58
Probably going to end up having to go
10:59
yesterday.
10:59
So I'm glad y'all finally got to go.
11:00
And it was open.
11:02
That's outstanding.
11:04
Blazing up on the drive would have been
11:06
a bad idea.
11:06
Yes.
11:07
Yes.
11:09
Yeah, you'd have had to...
11:12
Bill Clinton it and just not in hell.
11:14
Yeah.
11:16
Dude, I talk a big game.
11:18
Like,
11:19
never in my life has that been a
11:20
thing for me.
11:21
Ever.
11:23
Just.
11:24
I wish I could say the same.
11:25
I like beer.
11:26
I like beer.
11:27
I like whiskey.
11:28
I like beer.
11:29
Those were my drugs of choice.
11:31
Beer we got drink pretty good, don't it?
11:35
Very much.
11:36
Very much like that.
11:38
It was so.
11:39
My daughter actually swam in Lake
11:41
McDonald.
11:42
Like I reached down and touched the water.
11:45
It was freezing.
11:47
No thanks.
11:48
So she essentially cold plunged in Glacier
11:51
National Park.
11:52
Hey.
11:52
It's not for everybody.
11:58
And there is a part where the park
12:01
is named Glacier for this one area.
12:03
And we got a picture in front of
12:04
it.
12:05
And there is still ice on the mountain
12:07
from the glacier.
12:10
It was really cool.
12:15
Meg is giving direction to our producer.
12:18
It's not your show, Meg.
12:22
So anyway, that was a fun trip yesterday.
12:26
That was what we did,
12:27
and that's why we didn't have a show
12:28
yesterday.
12:30
It is.
12:32
We were thinking about having one,
12:34
but honestly,
12:34
I had too much shit going on yesterday
12:36
trying to come on here by myself,
12:38
or even with Vic.
12:44
Yeah, that first picture, Vicky,
12:45
on the far left shows out.
12:47
Well, even that one shows how clear.
12:53
Yeah, right there.
12:54
That one shows how clear the water is.
12:58
Good.
12:59
And the stones are that multicolored.
13:04
It was so cool.
13:07
So cool.
13:09
Love that kind of stuff.
13:10
Couldn't live there.
13:11
It's too cold.
13:14
They actually, we,
13:15
we ran into a couple that, uh,
13:19
they lived in New Jersey.
13:21
They moved to Montana and now they're
13:23
snowbirds.
13:23
They, they do Montana in the summer.
13:26
They go to Florida for the winter,
13:28
but they stay in Montana for the first
13:29
snowfall and then they leave.
13:30
Yeah.
13:31
And then, um, but they said the,
13:33
the winners are milder in Montana than
13:36
they are in New Jersey.
13:40
I mean, they live there.
13:41
They probably know, but I mean,
13:43
I don't have, here's the thing, dude, my,
13:44
my, my winners are all Louisiana.
13:46
So that's the only thing I have to
13:48
compare it to.
13:50
And it's snowed.
13:52
I know six times in the forty nine
13:58
years I've been alive that I can think
14:00
of offhand.
14:03
Megasaur is so dry, so dry.
14:07
I am chugging water like it's my job.
14:11
Stay hydrated, folks.
14:13
Stay hydrated.
14:16
The last thing I need to say about
14:17
Montana,
14:18
and then we'll move on to some CrossFit
14:19
stuff, is, Meg,
14:22
I had a Wilcoxon Huckleberry ice cream
14:26
sandwich last night.
14:27
Finally.
14:29
That sounds amazing.
14:29
Trying to find Huckleberry ice cream at
14:31
this time of year.
14:32
Everybody shuts down at Labor Day.
14:39
and uh and the wilcoxon huckleberry ice
14:43
cream sandwich was worth the wait all
14:47
right it was delicious so is it remind
14:54
remind me and remind everybody like like a
14:57
cross between a blueberry and a raspberry
15:01
or just don't even have anything to
15:03
compare it to i would it's
15:08
I would say blueberry black cherry.
15:11
Okay.
15:13
I met that ish, but I, it's not,
15:18
it's not really,
15:20
it's not really like anything else I've
15:22
had.
15:22
Nice.
15:24
Uh,
15:24
but the ice cream sandwich is like the
15:26
old fashioned ice cream sandwich.
15:27
When you're a kid,
15:28
the black cookies on the top and bottom,
15:31
the rectangle,
15:32
and instead of vanilla ice cream in the
15:34
middle, it's huckleberry ice cream.
15:36
Let's go.
15:37
I ain't mad at that at all.
15:40
Not at all.
15:44
It's its own berry,
15:45
but you have to pick them yourself in
15:47
the mountains.
15:48
My daughter went to a farmer's market and
15:50
they were forty dollars a pint if you
15:53
buy them from somebody.
15:54
Oh, my God.
15:57
That seems expensive.
16:00
Yeah.
16:01
Forty dollars a pint.
16:03
I'll just I'll go to the local grocery
16:05
store and get an ice cream sandwich and
16:07
call it a day.
16:08
Yeah.
16:08
Yeah.
16:17
She says it would have been worth the
16:18
forty bucks.
16:19
I don't know.
16:24
I don't know.
16:27
You can't find them in stores because you
16:29
have to pick them,
16:30
which is why they're forty dollars a
16:31
freaking pint.
16:33
Yeah.
16:35
Makes sense.
16:37
When you get up to Glacier,
16:38
the little stands all advertise
16:41
Huckleberry stuff.
16:43
But they were all closed for the winter.
16:51
Even though today is the first official
16:52
day of fall.
16:55
Correct.
16:56
But again,
16:57
it's already snowed in the mountains.
17:01
It's eighty-eight degrees outside.
17:04
There's no snow going on where I'm at.
17:08
I have some in my freezer.
17:09
I don't want to use them because they
17:11
are so hard to get.
17:13
Oh, I bet.
17:14
You could make a lot of money being
17:16
a huckleberry dealer.
17:19
They would have to be somewhere anywhere
17:22
around here.
17:24
I'm wondering, so you can grow,
17:26
you can do blackberry bushes.
17:27
People do that around here,
17:29
basically form blackberries, strawberries,
17:32
shit like that.
17:33
I'm assuming the huckleberry only grows on
17:35
the mountain.
17:37
which is why there's probably the arid air
17:39
mixed with the mountain water.
17:44
Yeah.
17:45
Probably not so much on here.
17:47
Yeah.
17:50
And that's just an educated guess.
17:52
That means they probably don't thrive in
17:54
ninety six percent humidity.
17:57
I am not a horticulturist by any stretch.
18:01
Whose fault is that, Scott?
18:06
Birch camped at Lake Yellowstone in July
18:08
and had ice on his tent.
18:13
No, thank you.
18:17
So anyway, we were all hyped up.
18:19
Yeah.
18:26
Vicky, Vicky, Vicky.
18:29
what she's here for it's fine moving right
18:31
along um so jamie and i talked on
18:35
sunday night about there was supposed to
18:37
be a big announcement in dave's week in
18:38
review that boz was teasing on the glit
18:41
and things podcast and while there was
18:46
something interesting i'm not sure i would
18:48
call it a big announcement it's pretty
18:50
underwhelming as far as big announcements
18:52
are concerned
18:55
I know I've been crushing on the CrossFit
18:58
media landscape, especially CrossFit HQ.
19:05
There's a thing like under-promise and
19:09
over-deliver is a thing.
19:12
It's a business tenet, I would say.
19:16
Over-promise and under-deliver doesn't
19:18
lead to success very much.
19:20
Not generally speaking.
19:24
so tessa tess is asking what it was
19:27
and what it is is that the open
19:30
is going to add a pairs category meaning
19:36
that like you and a buddy can sign
19:38
up and do the open workouts um but
19:43
for what let me ask you i go
19:45
so i do think it's a good idea
19:47
don't get me wrong i don't think it's
19:50
like an earth-shattering announcement
19:53
to the CrossFit space.
19:54
No.
19:56
You can pull that down, Vicki.
19:57
I'll explain it.
19:59
So it's a pairs thing.
20:03
You can sign up with a buddy.
20:06
I think that has been very successful in
20:08
things like High Rocks and other events
20:11
where people who don't want to do the
20:13
whole High Rocks race can sign up with
20:16
a buddy and split the work.
20:19
And if you're nervous about doing the
20:21
open,
20:23
it's a way to enter that outside of
20:27
our CrossFit space,
20:31
you can bring people in.
20:38
Okay.
20:40
We have to think outside the box,
20:42
and I do applaud them for that.
20:45
Go ahead.
20:45
I'll let you talk now.
20:46
Yeah, I think I'm with Mark right here.
20:49
I mean, it's an idea.
20:50
I'm not sure if it's good.
20:51
I just don't understand.
20:52
So what are we going to do?
20:55
Are we going to do pairs for quarterfinals
20:58
now and pairs for semifinals now and
21:01
whatnot?
21:01
Or are we further dividing everyone into
21:06
categories now?
21:07
Like instead of, oh, well,
21:09
now you can just do pair stuff.
21:10
So you don't have to do it by
21:11
yourself.
21:11
So it just leaves the...
21:13
The serious athletes quote-unquote to do
21:16
the the open stuff.
21:17
I don't know I just Underwhelming is is
21:21
a fantastic word for it.
21:23
I just I don't understand the point in
21:25
the purpose So I think that there is
21:27
this
21:29
jaded CrossFit mentality that you have to
21:32
do it one way and one way only.
21:35
And for those of us already in the
21:37
space,
21:38
it's probably not a blip on the radar,
21:41
this change.
21:42
But for someone that's maybe considering
21:44
to come into the gym,
21:46
it's a way to bring them in in
21:48
a way that is
21:49
is less stressful for them to sign up
21:54
and do it.
21:55
We need to increase the open numbers.
21:57
We do,
21:57
and we need to find a way to
21:59
do it.
21:59
It's thinking outside the box.
22:01
I've seen people say,
22:02
how's it different than a regular bring a
22:05
friend to CrossFit day?
22:07
Everybody knows that at the CrossFit gym
22:09
during the open,
22:10
there is a bigger excitement.
22:12
There is a bigger vibe.
22:15
You don't get on just an average Saturday,
22:18
bring a friend day.
22:20
And generally,
22:21
you don't do bring a friend day during
22:23
the open because you have so many other
22:25
things going on.
22:27
And I would say this to you, Seema,
22:28
it's not for you.
22:30
It's for people that aren't doing this
22:32
already.
22:40
I can't believe I actually agree with
22:42
Grant on something.
22:43
I was going to say the same thing.
22:47
It's actually one of the first creative
22:48
ideas I've seen in a while.
22:50
No idea if it'll work.
22:52
I don't know if it'll work,
22:53
but they have to try something different.
22:57
Banging your head against the wall year
22:59
after year after year doing the same damn
23:01
thing isn't getting us anywhere.
23:05
In fact, we're declining.
23:11
I'm curious to see how it's going to
23:14
flesh out and how it's going to
23:18
Is there going to be a whole different
23:19
spot on the leaderboard now for those
23:21
people?
23:22
You know what I mean?
23:23
What are you going to be...
23:27
And I get what they're doing it for.
23:29
I understand what they're trying it for.
23:31
And like I said,
23:32
I never thought I'd find myself here
23:34
agreeing with Grant as far as I have
23:35
no idea if it will work as far
23:37
as that part is concerned.
23:39
But like...
23:41
I want to see it fleshed out,
23:42
I guess.
23:42
I wanted more details than just, oh,
23:44
we're adding a partner division.
23:46
And you can be a national champion from
23:48
Uganda again.
23:50
Well, we haven't got to that piece yet.
23:55
Because my take on that piece is a
23:56
little bit different.
23:58
Sure.
23:59
But...
24:02
Steve, true story.
24:04
When I started,
24:05
I thought signing up for the open may
24:06
require me to go to the games.
24:08
I think there are misconceptions and
24:10
misperceptions about what the open is.
24:13
And this is a low barrier of entry
24:17
to come in and say, hey,
24:18
I'm going to like I come to Corey
24:20
and I say,
24:20
I'm going to team with you,
24:22
but you're doing all the muscle ups
24:24
because I can't do any.
24:26
Right.
24:26
But at least I'm participating.
24:28
I accept that deal.
24:31
I'll lift all the weight.
24:32
You do all the muscle up.
24:35
And we don't know how the split's going
24:36
to be or what it means on the
24:38
leaderboard.
24:39
It's probably going to be a separate piece
24:40
of the leaderboard if it's even on there.
24:42
But it's a way,
24:43
a low barrier of entry to bring people
24:45
in and see what it's all about.
24:49
I don't know about bring people in,
24:51
if you mean like as in get people
24:52
into the gym,
24:53
but maybe get more people that are in
24:55
the gym into the open, then sure.
24:56
Sure.
24:58
I think it can do both.
24:59
But again,
25:00
we're never going to know unless we try.
25:03
Yeah, no, I agree.
25:05
That part, absolutely.
25:07
I am glad that we're doing something.
25:10
Doing something,
25:10
doing a hundred percent of something is
25:12
doing better than doing a hundred percent
25:14
of nothing, right?
25:16
Try something,
25:17
throw something against the wall,
25:17
see if it sticks.
25:19
Doesn't work out, cool.
25:20
We won't do it again next year.
25:23
you don't get any feedback.
25:25
It kind of like when they took away
25:27
quarterfinals or whatever it was,
25:30
like they did it,
25:31
didn't do it next year and then brought
25:32
it back.
25:32
Right.
25:34
Cause people were outraged about it and
25:36
they actually listened for once and then
25:38
brought it back.
25:40
So maybe they're actually listening.
25:42
Maybe people ask for it.
25:43
I really don't know,
25:44
but I'm glad they're doing something.
25:50
it'll probably be less intimidating for
25:52
people to do pairs.
25:53
I think that is the best.
25:55
I would say that is a hundred percent.
25:59
If you were signing up for any kind
26:00
of comp,
26:02
I'm doing beach brawl this weekend on a
26:04
team and it's way less pressure because,
26:07
well, yes and no.
26:10
It's way less pressure for I think most
26:11
people because you're on a team and you
26:13
can just do a little bit of work
26:14
and the other people do a little bit
26:15
of work and you're going about yourself
26:16
instead of being the man in the arena
26:18
and just doing it all by yourself and
26:20
having nobody else to fall back on.
26:22
So I kind of get that part of
26:23
it.
26:25
The other thing that hopefully it brings
26:27
is the beauty for CrossFit for me when
26:31
I first started was the people I met
26:33
and the community that it gave me.
26:36
whatever you want to call that thing,
26:38
right?
26:39
During the open, my first gym,
26:42
and they still do this today,
26:44
is they have like barbecues after the open
26:48
workouts on Saturday.
26:50
They have fun stuff like that, right?
26:54
So not only are you bringing them in
26:55
to do a partner workout for a day,
26:57
now they're a part of this community thing
27:00
where you're having a cookout afterwards,
27:02
you're hanging out, talking,
27:05
shooting the all that kind of stuff and
27:07
i think that's a big part of it
27:09
it's just getting people in to see the
27:10
community but again i applaud them for
27:14
some creativity for the first time even
27:18
though it's probably copying what they're
27:20
seeing in high rocks yeah i think it's
27:24
a slightly different model i mean high
27:25
rocks is actually a thing you have to
27:26
show up for and do and whatnot as
27:28
opposed to just coming to the gym on
27:30
your day you're probably already coming
27:32
and just signing up with a partner um
27:35
What did I just do?
27:39
Sorry,
27:40
I just hit a button and freaked myself
27:42
out.
27:44
Fergie,
27:44
grind and dine are my favorite affiliate
27:46
events.
27:48
Yeah.
27:49
Fun.
27:49
If you can get them fun,
27:51
if you can get them,
27:52
I missed the last two, uh,
27:55
events that we do like, you know,
27:57
for our yearly anniversary,
27:58
because I was at competitions the last two
28:00
years.
28:02
Uh, sucks.
28:02
I mean,
28:03
we get a water slide for the kids
28:04
and we either, you know,
28:07
everybody brings a little something or,
28:09
you know, we've bought a crawfish before,
28:11
uh, that kind of stuff.
28:13
And everybody just kind of,
28:14
those are usually fun times.
28:18
Uh, we have a look,
28:19
we have local business sponsor open weeks.
28:21
Yeah,
28:21
we did too at my first gym and
28:25
they would give out prizes and stuff.
28:26
And it was never for like the fittest
28:29
person.
28:29
It was for like the fun thing they
28:31
did.
28:31
The other thing Dave said that I think
28:33
was kind of lost in the shuffle of
28:35
this thing is that they're also putting
28:38
together like a playbook on how to do
28:41
the intramural aspect of the open,
28:45
which I think is a good thing for
28:46
affiliates.
28:48
I'll tell you how we did it.
28:50
You on a team.
28:52
Don't care if you signed up for the
28:53
Open or not.
28:54
You're welcome.
28:55
Moving right along.
28:57
Yeah, but not every gym is, like,
29:00
your gym is well-established with some of
29:03
the best coaching in Louisiana, right?
29:05
It is.
29:05
Like, you guys are.
29:07
There are gyms that have just opened,
29:09
and maybe they don't understand the
29:11
intramural aspect of the Open.
29:13
Yeah.
29:14
I've been to some gyms who don't even,
29:16
like, promote the Open.
29:18
Because they don't know what it can bring
29:19
to you in the local community.
29:23
And it can bring a lot.
29:25
Yeah.
29:25
I'd agree to that.
29:27
Um, I just know we had,
29:28
we had a blast last year and, um,
29:31
in the eight years that I've been there,
29:32
you know,
29:34
it had kind of fallen off a little
29:35
bit as far as the openness concern,
29:36
like Friday night lights.
29:37
Cause you want to come in and I
29:38
just want to do it when I was
29:40
normally do class and whatnot.
29:42
And when you take that option away from
29:43
people and just say, Hey,
29:44
you're on a team.
29:46
So you can either show up Friday night
29:47
or not.
29:48
It's cool.
29:49
But you're going to, you know,
29:50
you put that added pressure of now you're
29:52
on a team.
29:53
Um,
29:55
People show up for that whether they want
29:57
to or not, right?
29:58
They'll do stuff for that whether they
29:59
want to or not because now they're on
30:00
a team.
30:02
And especially when you're on a team and
30:04
you don't get to pick what team you're
30:05
on.
30:07
Sorry, we randomly generated these teams.
30:09
This is what it's going to look like.
30:11
This coach is in charge of this team.
30:12
This coach is in charge of this team.
30:14
This coach is in charge of this team.
30:15
We had three teams, and my team won,
30:17
FYI.
30:19
because we had the best team and we
30:20
had the best,
30:21
we had the most participation and we had
30:24
the most buy-in.
30:25
Hey bro, let's do this, let's do this,
30:26
let's do this.
30:27
Like they showed up with signs and they
30:29
screamed at everybody.
30:31
uh showed up and did as much work
30:33
as they possibly could and nobody shamed
30:35
anybody if they couldn't make it hey look
30:38
this person's gonna be out of town um
30:39
this friday all right that's cool no big
30:41
deal we got you don't even worry about
30:44
it um it was a it was a
30:47
lot of fun it was a whole lot
30:48
of fun and i would hope that a
30:50
lot of people are doing the same type
30:52
things when it comes to the open
30:54
Because it was our first time doing
30:56
something like that.
30:58
And it was a rousing success.
31:00
And it was it was badass.
31:02
I appreciated the shit out of it.
31:07
We'll finish with this.
31:08
Some of my buddies have moved on from
31:10
CrossFit.
31:10
And the only way I can get them
31:11
together for a WOD is to do partner
31:14
WODs.
31:14
They have no interest in Fran or Isabel
31:16
anymore.
31:18
shame on them just kidding peter here you
31:22
do this long thing about not shaming
31:24
people in the open and then i just
31:26
shame on you for leaving crossfit it's
31:29
peter man i love that dude i talked
31:31
to that dude for two hours in kansas
31:33
city this year uh we had a we
31:36
had a blast but uh no um if
31:39
that's what it takes that's what it takes
31:41
Again, it's creative, innovative.
31:43
I think it's a good attempt at something.
31:47
Now, if you're going to do it,
31:48
stick to it.
31:50
Don't half-ass it and then walk away from
31:52
it.
31:53
Don't community cup it?
31:54
Would you say that?
31:56
Don't community cup it?
31:58
exactly so the other aspect of the
32:00
announcement was that according to dave
32:04
there are a lot of people especially
32:06
internationally that are trying to become
32:08
semi-finals to get people to the games and
32:10
they're having to tell them no so they
32:13
came up with a creative way to make
32:15
them licensed events and to now allow them
32:21
to host a national championship
32:23
competition in their country
32:27
Now,
32:29
as an American here in the United States,
32:33
I don't think it will work at all
32:35
because they are too busy getting to the
32:39
games and being prepped for the games.
32:42
They don't need another comp added on to
32:44
their schedule.
32:47
And which one are you going to select
32:49
if not?
32:52
right right like if mayhem is a thing
32:56
and if legends is a thing and if
32:59
it probably won't work in australia it
33:01
probably won't work in some of the
33:04
european nations like i don't think
33:06
iceland's gonna like walk away from
33:08
whatever they're doing you know like to
33:10
become the national champion yeah but i
33:12
think in some countries it could be a
33:14
big deal with someone saying i want to
33:17
be the national champion of bolivia or
33:20
Whatever, right?
33:22
Uganda.
33:23
I just like saying Uganda.
33:24
Sorry.
33:26
And they do that, right?
33:28
Yeah.
33:29
So I think that's going to be a
33:31
mixed bag when it comes to it.
33:33
But again,
33:34
at least they're trying some new stuff.
33:37
I do question whether there truly are this
33:40
many people saying, yeah,
33:42
we'll pay for everything to get you,
33:44
your qualified athletes for the games.
33:48
And you give us nothing.
33:50
Like I find that a little bit hard
33:51
to believe that they're lining up outside
33:53
the door and they have to tell him,
33:55
no,
33:56
it could be just me making shit up
33:59
in my head.
34:00
They could,
34:00
he's just banging on the door to try
34:02
to get in.
34:02
Um,
34:07
I don't know.
34:08
The whole thing is, is,
34:09
is you think about all the European
34:11
countries, right?
34:12
We got contenders from Spain.
34:14
We got contenders from France.
34:15
We got contenders from England.
34:16
We got continues from the aisle of man
34:18
for Christ's sake is the, where the,
34:21
the fittest woman on earth is from right.
34:25
Ireland, Scotland, like just your,
34:26
just Europe alone is what, twelve,
34:30
fifteen countries.
34:31
I have no idea.
34:32
I'm making that number up.
34:33
I could be way off.
34:34
I mean, I think.
34:37
hypothetically say Julie Jones wins the
34:41
Isle of Man national championship and Amy
34:44
Kringle goes on to win the games and
34:46
she doesn't get national champion because
34:47
she didn't do that competition.
34:49
What does it mean at that point?
34:50
What does it mean?
34:51
Yeah, exactly.
34:52
Exactly.
34:55
So I understand all that.
34:57
I'm less confident about this piece than I
35:00
am about the partner piece.
35:03
But at least they're trying something.
35:08
I'm number one in Burnside for forty five,
35:10
forty nine year old men.
35:12
Burnside, Louisiana, baby.
35:14
What's up?
35:15
Last time I checked,
35:15
Burnside is not a country or a nation.
35:19
Maybe not.
35:19
Maybe not where you're from.
35:24
KDL is in number one in the nation
35:26
of domination.
35:29
Oh, I'm huge in Japan.
35:31
Does that count?
35:34
You have to be from the country.
35:36
Dave did point that out.
35:37
Dave did say that.
35:38
Dave did say that.
35:39
I'd have to get my Japanese citizenship or
35:42
my Ugandan citizenship.
35:44
I wonder how hard that is.
35:45
Vicky,
35:47
see what I got to do to become
35:48
a Ugandan citizen, please.
35:53
I wouldn't try Wakanda.
35:54
They have some really good athletes in
35:56
Wakanda.
35:57
Well,
35:57
they got that heart shaper where they can
35:59
make all the great athletes they need to.
36:02
Although that would probably be considered
36:03
a PED, right?
36:05
It should be, if not.
36:15
What if she had to go head-to-head with
36:16
Kringle to keep her title?
36:20
think at this point adding i mean jamie
36:23
and i talked about this a little bit
36:24
sunday night like adding another thing to
36:26
the schedule at this point i think is
36:29
just bananas hugely so that's a lot dude
36:34
it's already a lot like this year
36:37
especially seemed like there was happening
36:40
all the time and now we're gonna add
36:44
something else another layer onto it and
36:46
and again
36:48
For what?
36:50
I understand the thinking behind it,
36:53
right?
36:55
I enjoyed,
36:55
I don't want to say the pageantry,
36:59
but just the idea of like in twenty
37:01
nineteen, all these people,
37:02
random ass people showed up knowing damn
37:05
good and well,
37:05
they were probably just going to do one
37:06
workout on the floor, maybe two.
37:09
And then they were going to get,
37:11
you know, handed and sent out.
37:12
But it was still fun to watch.
37:15
Watching Ben Smith wade through the mass
37:19
of humanity that was the national
37:22
champions and just decimate the entire
37:25
field was fun.
37:28
I don't give a damn what anybody says.
37:29
Like that was cool as shit to watch.
37:33
And I just don't know, like,
37:35
are we inviting those people to the games
37:37
because they're the national champion?
37:39
Like,
37:39
is that going to be a thing or
37:40
is it just a title that you get
37:41
to have?
37:42
Just a title.
37:45
I don't get it.
37:47
Tessa wants to know if we think Mal's
37:49
coming back.
37:52
Can I say something that probably people
37:54
are going to hate?
37:55
I don't care.
37:56
I don't either.
37:58
I really don't.
37:59
And here's the deal, right?
38:02
She's been off now, it'll be what,
38:04
three years?
38:05
At least.
38:07
At least.
38:09
And what made her stop
38:16
will probably never allow her to get back
38:19
to the spot where she is a dominant
38:21
athlete yeah right she had this drive that
38:31
nobody else had she had this willingness
38:33
to go to places that nobody else would
38:37
and it burnt her out so bad she
38:39
had to walk away
38:44
I don't see, I don't see her.
38:46
I don't see anybody that had to stop
38:48
for the reason that,
38:49
that she did willingly coming back and
38:53
thinking that they're going to get back to
38:55
not just back into the sport and like
38:58
be able to even qualify for the games,
39:01
let alone be pushing for the top of
39:04
the podium.
39:06
I just don't see it knowing what it
39:10
costs because you've already been there at
39:12
that point.
39:14
I don't see it.
39:16
So I would say this.
39:19
Haley Adams took one year off.
39:22
And she has not been the same athlete
39:24
when she came back that she was before
39:26
she left.
39:27
No, she's happier.
39:29
Yes, and hallelujah for that.
39:33
Yeah, good honor.
39:34
God bless her.
39:35
I wish her nothing but all the happiness
39:38
in the world.
39:39
But nobody's talking about her as being a
39:43
danger to being on the podium.
39:45
It's just not a thing, right?
39:48
And it's not because the sports passed her
39:49
by.
39:49
I mean, she still qualifies.
39:50
She can still make it there, right?
39:53
She can still make some noise every now
39:54
and again on an event, but nobody's like,
39:57
oh, shit, what's Haley doing?
40:05
Tessa says that Haley was different.
40:08
The two of them were best friends at
40:09
the time.
40:11
Yeah.
40:12
She just means Haley had an eating
40:13
disorder, right?
40:16
Mal burnout.
40:17
But I think that's two sides to the
40:19
same coin.
40:20
I really do because both of them are
40:22
still here at that point,
40:25
no matter how you look at it.
40:27
Haley didn't stop because she hospitalized
40:29
herself from an eating disorder.
40:31
She had an eating disorder that she needed
40:32
to get taken care of so that she
40:34
didn't hospitalize herself.
40:36
That's mental.
40:38
Mal just burned out.
40:40
Period.
40:40
From push, push, push, go, go, go.
40:42
Do we really know why Mal walked away?
40:45
No,
40:46
but when Matt Fraser says that he has
40:47
to pull the reins back on her from
40:49
doing seventeen Matt Cons a day.
40:51
Right.
40:52
But that's making an assumption based on.
40:55
Yeah, absolutely.
40:56
Things other people have said.
40:58
But hey, bro,
40:59
we are the arbiters of truth.
41:01
We can say whatever we want to say.
41:07
Just kidding, folks.
41:10
Anyway,
41:13
Lawson went through similar as Mao,
41:14
but powered through it.
41:16
We assume.
41:17
We assume.
41:18
And here's the other thing, too.
41:19
Just because she's back in the gym does
41:22
not mean that she's coming back to
41:23
compete.
41:25
Like people take a post like that and
41:27
look at it and go, oh, man,
41:29
she's back.
41:30
Oh, she's back.
41:31
Because, yeah,
41:32
she was fun to watch while she was
41:33
here.
41:34
But that doesn't mean that just means that
41:35
she's back in the gym.
41:37
She is doing fitness.
41:39
Good for her.
41:40
I wish everybody would.
41:43
It doesn't mean that all of a sudden,
41:44
oh,
41:44
there's Mal O'Brien back on the sign up
41:47
for the Open.
41:48
Here we go.
41:48
And even if she does sign up for
41:50
the Open, again,
41:52
it doesn't mean that she is going to
41:53
compete until you actually see her come
41:55
out and say something along the lines of,
41:57
hey, y'all, I'm back.
41:59
Here we go.
41:59
We're going to try to do this one
42:00
more time.
42:01
Then everybody's just making these wild
42:04
ass assumptions because social media has
42:08
given us this window into everybody's
42:10
highlight reel that is their life.
42:12
Come on.
42:17
So someone that has taught like Rich has
42:21
told us that he was driven to win
42:26
at all costs.
42:28
And we've heard him say now that there
42:30
are points now that he's comfortable right
42:32
not competing.
42:34
I can't get himself back to those dark
42:36
places.
42:40
Once you walk away and realize there's
42:42
life away from CrossFit and you can find
42:46
happiness in other ways,
42:50
it's harder to take you to the places
42:53
that made you great.
42:56
And I don't think this is CrossFit
42:57
exclusive.
42:59
I think this is in all sport.
43:02
Oh, absolutely.
43:10
That's why you got to be like me,
43:11
Corey.
43:11
Only post the lows on social media.
43:16
If I would only post my lows,
43:18
that would be on,
43:18
it'd be ninety nine percent of what I
43:21
actually posted.
43:24
So what I'll tell you is there are
43:26
exceptions to everything.
43:29
This is truly this is my opinion and
43:31
just watching sports my whole life and my
43:35
opinion based on that.
43:37
Could she come back?
43:38
Could she be dominant again?
43:40
Of course,
43:40
because there are anomalies to everything.
43:45
I think it's more likely she doesn't.
43:46
Yeah.
43:51
This is fun.
43:52
Phil Toon is more likely to come back.
43:57
He's more likely to come back as the
43:58
thing from the Fantastic Four.
44:01
That's what Phil Toon is most likely to
44:03
come back as.
44:04
Oh, man.
44:05
I remember seeing him at Waterpalooza.
44:08
It was like the first time I ever
44:10
noticed him.
44:10
I was like, man, that dude is massive.
44:14
And he was wearing,
44:17
it's the only time I ever bought a
44:17
shirt because I saw somebody else wearing
44:19
it.
44:19
I was like, that's a really cool shirt.
44:21
And I went and bought one.
44:22
And then like three weeks later,
44:23
he popped.
44:25
Something on his lines.
44:26
I was like, son of a bitch.
44:29
Yeah, I was at the Granite Games.
44:30
He qualified.
44:33
Dude,
44:33
everybody thought he was like one of the
44:35
next big things, right?
44:36
Oh, yeah.
44:38
I mean,
44:38
he was only taking stuff for his hair
44:40
loss, dude.
44:41
Like, I don't understand what happened.
44:43
Yeah.
44:44
Really and truly.
44:45
He was just trying to get his hair
44:46
back.
44:46
I mean, come on.
44:49
Here we go.
44:49
That's just sports.
44:50
Yep.
44:50
KDL,
44:51
you know I'm going to say it at
44:52
least once a show.
44:54
It's just sports.
45:01
Oh.
45:03
Not a great day to tell me there's
45:05
more to life than CrossFit.
45:06
I just got laid off and got my
45:08
L-One,
45:09
and now I'm going to start coaching.
45:13
I am very,
45:14
very sad that you got laid off, Seema.
45:16
And I hope this flip of the coin
45:20
is a catalyst to make you find happiness.
45:25
Life is about clearing those hurdles that
45:27
are thrown at you.
45:29
And I have seen you clear so many
45:31
hurdles
45:32
through your Instagram stories.
45:35
I,
45:35
and you are a strong independent woman
45:37
that can do that.
45:38
And I think this could be that flip
45:42
of the switch for you.
45:43
At least I pray that it is.
45:45
I hope it is.
45:46
I absolutely hope it is.
45:47
I like SEMA way too much.
45:49
I mean,
45:49
I would pray for anybody that just got
45:51
laid off, especially in this economy.
45:54
God bless you, SEMA.
45:55
I hope,
45:57
absolutely praying that it works out for
45:58
the best.
46:05
We actually talked about this Sunday night
46:07
winter.
46:08
Jamie brought this up on the show.
46:11
Do you think she'll do that exclusively?
46:13
No.
46:13
No, I don't.
46:16
I think she'd be really good at it
46:17
because she's an outstanding runner.
46:20
I think it's going to be in the
46:21
same vein as James Sprague, as Tia.
46:24
Go show that you can compete in that
46:27
as well and do really, really good.
46:29
But
46:32
her focus is still going to be crossfit
46:34
but it's a it's a good off-season trainer
46:37
yeah you know something different train in
46:40
the off-season get like she needs more
46:43
cardio but um clearly she needs to work
46:46
on her running that's a i'm kidding
46:51
freaking people don't come at me
46:58
lots of good lucks for sima and
46:59
understanding for sima and yeah she's
47:02
gonna kill it she'll be awesome dude
47:07
she'll make it she'll bounce back from any
47:09
of that kind of stuff uh are you
47:11
gonna be in florida this weekend am i
47:14
gonna see you on saturday and sunday
47:20
last thing i wanted to bring up about
47:21
dave's week in review is he did say
47:23
that crossfit is dabbling with the idea of
47:26
doing a mass participation event their own
47:28
version of like a hyrox or a xenon
47:33
or a ethics ethics put letters together
47:39
and just call it something yeah so i
47:43
don't know we'll see
47:47
good i hope they do instead of just
47:48
partnering with everybody else's and just
47:50
going yeah sure we'll throw our name on
47:51
there or whatever i'm sure whoever it is
47:55
ethics had to pay for that xenon had
47:58
to pay for that to have crossfit freaking
48:01
tacked on to that that unsurprising but
48:04
why not why not make their own mass
48:07
participation event that's not just to
48:09
open like something you can do where
48:11
people can just show up i mean hyrox
48:15
is worth how much money
48:18
Billions?
48:18
Valuations in the billions now, I guess.
48:21
Yeah.
48:21
Billions would it be?
48:24
Why not make your money while you can?
48:27
While it's there to be made.
48:28
Clearly, there's interest.
48:30
Clearly, people are wanting to do this.
48:33
The Xenon thing,
48:34
people have it figured out.
48:36
I say figured out,
48:36
but seeing what it actually is.
48:40
Just knocked my speaker off again.
48:42
People are registering,
48:44
signing up for it and whatnot.
48:45
So why not do something like that?
48:50
I feel like the mass participation events
48:53
are like the DJ Khaled of fitness.
48:56
And another one.
48:57
And another one.
48:59
And another one.
49:05
You're not wrong.
49:08
And like, if I'm running CrossFit,
49:13
I would pick the one that I think
49:15
has the most chance to succeed.
49:18
And then partner up in more than just
49:21
namesake, but partner up in marketing,
49:25
partner up in giving them funding,
49:28
partner up in getting them relationships
49:30
with like Rogue and different equipment
49:33
companies and seeing if you can truly then
49:35
compete with High Rocks.
49:38
This is the problem when you have an
49:41
actual business background and an MBA in
49:43
business and all that stuff.
49:44
You keep throwing out logical,
49:45
sound-sounding ideas that actually could
49:48
possibly work and make them money just for
49:51
them to ignore the ever-living shit out of
49:53
you just like they ignore the ever-living
49:54
shit out of people who also probably tell
49:56
them that.
49:58
Well, here's the deal.
50:01
Is it better to take someone that already
50:04
has an existing game plan
50:07
Maybe it needs tweaked,
50:08
but at least it's already established in
50:10
some kind of version.
50:11
Right.
50:13
Or create the seventh version of it that
50:17
people are just tired of already.
50:19
Like we had Spartan Race into Tough Mudder
50:23
into Warrior Dash into like,
50:26
and then there got to be so many
50:27
of these.
50:29
Then it became Bubble Runs and Paint Runs
50:31
and...
50:33
All that shit of color relations.
50:36
And then nobody did them anymore.
50:38
They just, everybody were like, okay,
50:39
this is enough.
50:40
I'm done.
50:44
Scott is too knowledgeable and he doesn't
50:46
even read, you know, it, it doesn't,
50:51
I don't, I don't disagree whatsoever.
50:55
And I was thinking about that while you
50:56
were going through and like,
50:58
I don't remember the last time I saw.
51:01
somebody advertise for a Spartan race or a
51:06
tough motor.
51:08
If I remember right,
51:09
that's what Hunter was doing before high
51:11
rocks became a thing was all these
51:14
obstacle course races.
51:15
Right.
51:17
And then he kind of fell into that.
51:19
Now he's one of the best ever, um,
51:22
high rockers or whatnot,
51:23
but you don't see those things around
51:25
anymore.
51:26
No.
51:28
So, Fake Savant says,
51:30
MBAs are worthless since taught by
51:32
professors, not industry professionals.
51:34
I don't know what MBA you're referring to
51:37
because the one I got was not taught
51:40
by a guy that was just a professor.
51:42
Every one of my professors in my MBA
51:45
worked in the industry they were teaching.
51:50
And the majority of an MBA,
51:52
if it's done right,
51:54
is collaboration with your
51:57
classmates that are also working in the
52:00
real world every single person in my
52:05
cohort of my mba worked professionally in
52:08
different industries and we compared and
52:11
talked notes and we went over case studies
52:13
and things like that not a single one
52:15
of them was just a an exclusive professor
52:19
MBAs get a bad name because of all
52:21
these online versions that are out there
52:23
now.
52:24
And they're just quick hitters.
52:27
But damn it,
52:28
I went to class every single week for
52:30
my MBA in person, had discussions,
52:34
had debates,
52:35
argued vehemently over our thoughts.
52:39
That's what an MBA is supposed to be.
52:43
And I'm proud of mine that I got
52:45
mine.
52:47
even though I'm still paying for it and
52:48
will be until I die.
52:49
It's fine.
52:51
It's fine.
52:51
That's immaterial.
52:54
Dega says he's still getting ads on
52:56
Instagram for Spartan and Tough Motors.
52:58
I have not seen one.
53:00
I have honestly,
53:02
I don't know when the last time I
53:03
saw an ad for one was.
53:05
I really, really don't.
53:08
I get stuff for Xenon.
53:10
I get stuff for High Rocks.
53:14
We're talking about Ortega,
53:15
and who knows what his algorithm is.
53:17
That is a fair point.
53:19
That is a fair point.
53:23
Oh,
53:23
and then Sten said Spartan actually bought
53:25
Tough Motor a few years ago as well,
53:27
which tracks.
53:29
That makes sense.
53:29
He bought those two things into the same
53:32
thing.
53:35
And I hear Olive saying she also gets
53:37
ads.
53:37
Because I just said that,
53:40
I'm going to open my Instagram after we
53:41
get done,
53:42
and I'm going to get bombarded with it,
53:44
whatever,
53:45
probably everything from the bubble run to
53:47
the color run to the Spartan Mudder tough
53:51
guy, whatever they are now.
53:54
I have no idea what they're called
53:55
anymore.
53:57
I was just trying to be funny, Ortega.
53:58
That's all.
54:05
Fake Savant,
54:06
your classmates were professionals,
54:07
not the professor.
54:09
Excuse me,
54:10
I didn't see you in my class.
54:14
Every single one of my professors worked
54:16
in a professional industry.
54:18
They were adjunct professors that came in
54:21
and worked at night as an addition to
54:23
their daytime job.
54:27
Scott's using all his vocabulary today.
54:30
Adjunct professors.
54:36
Mark Phillips has one.
54:37
It's just paper.
54:38
It's paid for at least.
54:41
I've probably used more from my MBA in
54:44
my real life than I have anything else
54:47
I've ever done,
54:48
but it didn't change my job.
54:52
I'm still working at the same place.
54:54
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
54:57
Which he loves, FYI.
54:59
Scott's a big fan of his job.
55:00
I love my job.
55:01
Huge, huge fan of his job.
55:04
job loves it loves it loves it's his
55:07
favorite thing to do scott's job and
55:11
reading like an atlas or the encyclopedia
55:16
probably encyclopedia britannica like
55:19
about wouldn't wait about the same right
55:24
there right there on the list of things
55:26
scott loves to do it's pretty close
55:31
I know, like,
55:32
I don't this didn't mean to be into
55:33
a big diatribe about MBAs.
55:35
But I know it.
55:37
And I'm not a big fan of the
55:38
Ohio State University and their football
55:40
team and everything to get it really,
55:42
you've never mentioned that.
55:45
To get into their MBA program,
55:46
you have to have like five years work
55:48
experience.
55:51
It's just like,
55:53
it all depends on where you get it
55:56
from.
56:01
Scott's job is on his fight list.
56:03
It's LeVar Burton, his job.
56:08
And it's not even one and two.
56:10
It's like one A and one B. Oh.
56:17
OSU hurt Scott.
56:19
I attended Ohio State University in
56:22
nineteen eighty eight.
56:25
See, and I hated every moment of it.
56:32
that is fantastic i don't think he wanted
56:35
to fight the fart guy i was just
56:37
saying yeah i didn't i who knows what
56:41
was going to come out if i punched
56:43
him man that's right you don't want to
56:45
fight a guy who's just lifting up on
56:48
one cheek to let one loose in a
56:49
restaurant like that's probably not the
56:51
guy you want to fight just throwing that
56:53
out there you don't know what's about to
56:54
happen next if you punch him in the
56:55
face
56:57
All right,
56:57
I have two more things I got to
56:59
go.
56:59
Let's go.
57:00
Because my wife will be coming back,
57:01
and that is, one,
57:03
I believe that I lost a bet to
57:05
Meg.
57:06
Oh, no.
57:09
It sucks when three of your fantasy
57:12
starters go out in the first quarter of
57:14
a game,
57:15
and your fourth one is Caleb Williams who
57:17
went out at the end of the game.
57:19
So, I don't know.
57:23
I may propose a double or nothing if
57:25
we play again.
57:28
She's not going to take it.
57:30
I don't think she'll take it,
57:31
but I'm going to try.
57:31
I'm going to try.
57:33
Maybe I'll send her some Huckleberry ice
57:35
cream or something.
57:36
Yeah, good luck.
57:40
Good luck.
57:41
I don't think she's going to take that
57:42
deal.
57:45
And the last thing I was going to
57:46
talk about is Caleb.
57:47
Man, I was depressed Sunday.
57:51
And when the news came out yesterday that
57:53
it was just a strained hamstring,
57:57
The only thing I want to say is
57:58
all you haters that have been waiting for
58:00
a year to hate on Caleb after the
58:01
year he had, man,
58:03
they came out of the woodwork.
58:06
Pounding the ground and crying on the
58:08
field and carried off,
58:10
and it's only a grade one hamstring.
58:15
They were sitting there like this,
58:16
just waiting for a year.
58:17
Just waiting.
58:18
He's going to do something stupid.
58:19
He's coming.
58:19
He's coming.
58:20
He's coming.
58:23
The thing is,
58:26
when you there it is this is what
58:29
i've been told by chicago bear people that
58:32
not only did he tear that he had
58:34
the hamstring strain but he also like
58:37
locked up at the same time like his
58:40
body was trying to protect itself yeah and
58:45
so it could have felt way more painful
58:47
than the actual injury and then the
58:50
trainers loosened him up
58:53
Probably gave him some Toradol,
58:55
and he felt better after the fact.
58:58
You gave me some Toradol.
58:59
I felt I'd feel better during the fact.
59:02
I didn't have to wait to get all
59:04
the way through.
59:04
And that the trainers probably told him
59:06
not to try to walk off to get
59:08
on the cart.
59:09
We need to make sure you're okay because
59:11
without you,
59:13
we will not have the season we
59:14
anticipated.
59:16
I mean, it's your franchise quarterback.
59:18
You're going to treat him like he's –
59:20
like that scene in Spider-Man, too,
59:22
where they like –
59:23
Careful, he's a hero.
59:26
It's that type of stuff.
59:30
I will say some of the jokes are
59:31
funny.
59:32
Yes, Clock, they are.
59:33
But I don't know.
59:35
I just...
59:36
When Get Up was going after him today,
59:38
I just lost it.
59:39
So...
59:40
But I will say this.
59:43
You're Tyler Shuck, dude.
59:44
You've got to be excited.
59:47
That dude's for real.
59:48
Because your best receiver's been on IR
59:51
since training camp.
59:52
Yes, he has.
59:54
And when he comes out, I would not.
1:00:00
I don't know.
1:00:04
Shuck is the real deal.
1:00:06
He is.
1:00:09
He is unimaginably humble.
1:00:11
You know what I'm saying?
1:00:12
He's having fun during press conferences,
1:00:16
like when he's out there on the field
1:00:17
and whatnot.
1:00:19
For us to go into Baltimore,
1:00:22
which nobody gave us a chance to win,
1:00:24
FYI.
1:00:25
He didn't score that touchdown,
1:00:26
by the way.
1:00:27
Yeah.
1:00:29
Now he got his face mask ripped off
1:00:30
that didn't get called.
1:00:32
Right.
1:00:33
But yeah,
1:00:34
just so so so he didn't score a
1:00:36
touchdown.
1:00:37
So did they call it a touchdown?
1:00:39
They did.
1:00:39
OK, well, then he scored the touchdown.
1:00:41
Same thing with the pass it.
1:00:42
No, no, dude.
1:00:43
We've been getting screwed for years.
1:00:47
You're not letting go of that pass
1:00:49
interference back in like nineteen ninety
1:00:51
four.
1:00:51
Right.
1:00:52
Never, never.
1:00:55
As a lifelong Saints fan and somebody who
1:00:57
admittedly just started watching after
1:00:59
six... No, shit, longer than that.
1:01:01
After about nine years of not watching the
1:01:03
NFL.
1:01:03
Yeah.
1:01:06
He's the real deal.
1:01:07
And no, we're never, ever, ever,
1:01:09
ever letting it go.
1:01:10
It's not happening.
1:01:12
It's the worst no-call probably in sports
1:01:14
history.
1:01:14
Not even in...
1:01:16
I re-watched it the other day.
1:01:17
It came up on my Instagram feed.
1:01:20
And like...
1:01:21
He didn't even look like not didn't have
1:01:23
a handout.
1:01:24
Like maybe I'll swat the ball away.
1:01:26
Oh, I accidentally ran into him.
1:01:27
No, he just started.
1:01:28
We're going to,
1:01:28
we're going to move on to twenty twenty
1:01:30
six.
1:01:31
Good.
1:01:32
Go for it.
1:01:33
Understand you just you're just trying to
1:01:35
poke the bear again.
1:01:37
And a whole point.
1:01:42
But for the talent and the potential,
1:01:46
give me Caleb or Josh Allen.
1:01:48
That's it.
1:01:49
Everybody else.
1:01:50
So that was a big thing that Baltimore's
1:01:54
defensive coordinator was like,
1:01:55
Tyler Shook's like a poor man's Josh
1:01:57
Allen.
1:01:57
He's like, hmm, okay.
1:02:01
I would take that.
1:02:03
Josh Allen is the best quarterback in the
1:02:05
NFL.
1:02:05
Any version of Josh Allen is a good
1:02:08
version.
1:02:09
Shook thought it was funny,
1:02:11
but he said the same thing.
1:02:12
He's like, I'll take that.
1:02:13
No big deal.
1:02:14
I can roll with that.
1:02:17
All right, guys, I'm going to head out.
1:02:20
I'm going to spend some lunch and dinner
1:02:22
with my daughter,
1:02:22
and then we're heading back tomorrow.
1:02:24
There may be a show tomorrow.
1:02:26
I may be able to squeeze it in
1:02:27
before I head to the airport.
1:02:29
I'll let you guys know tonight.
1:02:31
I don't have anything scheduled out there
1:02:33
yet, but if you see it pop up,
1:02:36
that means we'll be on tomorrow,
1:02:37
but it may be an abbreviated show.
1:02:41
Just be here.
1:02:41
Be ready.
1:02:43
And get your thirds in.
1:02:44
Yep.

1:02:54

1:02:56
room to jazz me up.
1:02:58
I'm already jazzy.
