0:31
what's going on everybody
0:34
it's a cajun cooking week
0:37
wednesday with our friend
0:39
cory what's going on
0:41
everybody what a day man I
0:43
had to get up early because
0:45
we're still down to one car
0:47
I had to get my allergy
0:48
shots this morning and I
0:50
had my wife is back to the
0:52
office so I had to be back
0:55
in time for her to take the car to work
0:58
And they've implemented a
0:59
new policy that when you
1:01
get your allergy shots,
1:03
you have to sit in the
1:03
waiting room for twenty
1:04
five minutes just to make
1:06
sure you're not going to pass out.
1:07
Yeah, make sure nothing crazy happens.
1:09
Now,
1:09
I've been getting these shots for a
1:11
year and I have had zero
1:14
ill effects in a year.
1:16
But still,
1:18
you got to wait twenty five
1:20
minutes to find out that
1:21
you're not going to die on the way home.
1:24
I was just at this point, if I were you,
1:26
I'd be like, look,
1:27
I'm going to wait outside.
1:29
That's what the policy used to be.
1:31
But everybody just got in
1:32
their car and went home.
1:32
Yeah.
1:35
And I have my EpiPen.
1:36
Like if something goes wrong,
1:38
I'm ready to stick it in my thigh.
1:39
I got it.
1:40
Good to go.
1:40
Good to go.
1:42
One hand on the wheel,
1:43
one hand on the EpiPen.
1:44
When did we get in this
1:45
country to a point where
1:46
like instructions aren't enough?
1:50
We have to mandate that you
1:52
sit here and we have to babysit you.
1:55
Two words, trial lawyers.
2:01
Trial lawyers.
2:01
Same reason why, was it McDonald's,
2:05
had to start putting that
2:05
the coffee was hot on the
2:10
cup because apparently
2:11
people didn't know.
2:12
I burnt my legs with this coffee.
2:14
Well, yeah, it's coffee.
2:15
Do you remember when the
2:17
ruling first came down and
2:19
the cup that McDonald's
2:20
handed out said caution hot
2:22
like seventy-five times around the cup?
2:25
written all over it like
2:27
they're like you wanted
2:28
this here you go yeah five
2:30
percent five percent
2:31
careful what you ask for uh
2:37
charlie says they should I
2:38
should tell them to put
2:39
some real goodies in those
2:40
shots that good good stuff
2:48
I actually spent time with
2:50
three dogs a couple
2:51
weekends ago and did not
2:53
have trouble breathing.
2:54
So we're making some headway here.
2:58
Breathing is still some goodies for me.
3:01
That's the performance
3:02
enhancement I'm looking for.
3:03
I'm going to tell you right now, Scott,
3:06
breathing as a thing is
3:07
underrated in general.
3:11
And it shouldn't be.
3:13
and it should know it should
3:14
not be taken for granted as
3:15
much as it is but breathing
3:17
isn't is probably an
3:18
essential yeah I would say
3:20
it's still my top two
3:21
things to do today like
3:24
pretty much all day I'd
3:27
hate to see what number one
3:28
is if breathing fell to two um
3:37
One other thing before we dive in,
3:38
we started a little bit early today.
3:39
My apologies.
3:41
I have a meeting right at
3:42
one o'clock that I can't be late for.
3:44
And it's a,
3:44
it's actually an important one.
3:46
Um, so, uh,
3:49
we started a little bit early
3:50
today cause Corey and I can
3:51
never not shut up.
3:54
Um, but yesterday, uh,
3:58
Ken Walters was in the, in the,
3:59
in the chat and he was talking about, um,
4:04
about how Mrs. Leonard and I are now BFFs.
4:10
That was not Ken Walters.
4:11
That was Kat Scheer.
4:12
Yes, Kat.
4:14
Kat,
4:15
so I showed Jennifer the show Saturday,
4:21
and we laughed.
4:23
Jesus Christ, did we laugh.
4:24
And she said,
4:25
I feel like I need to be
4:26
friends with this woman.
4:27
And I was like, you absolutely should.
4:30
So she went searching for
4:31
her on Instagram.
4:34
That's awesome.
4:35
Yeah.
4:35
And if you want to see
4:37
episode two tonight at five
4:39
o'clock Eastern time,
4:42
I will have a cat live
4:45
talking about six first dates.
4:46
Six first dates.
4:51
Yeah.
4:52
I think she promised like
4:53
text messages that have
4:54
happened back and forth before, during,
4:58
after those six first dates.
5:01
I cannot imagine because
5:02
people are insane.
5:06
Well, if you didn't think they were insane,
5:09
go watch episode one.
5:10
That's sitting out there now.
5:12
And you'll learn that the
5:13
dating world is flat out insane.
5:15
She does not have any single
5:18
brother's cat.
5:19
Sorry.
5:19
So yeah, yesterday Ken was talking about,
5:26
he was having a shrimp
5:27
omelet with horseradish.
5:29
Nope.
5:31
And I made the statement
5:32
that horseradish is the
5:34
single most
5:36
underappreciated condiment in
5:41
the bag of condiments.
5:42
What I was thinking about last night,
5:43
because I think about this show a lot,
5:46
is truly, if I have a great sandwich,
5:52
a great sandwich,
5:53
I don't like any
5:54
traditional condiments on it.
5:56
No mustard, no mayo, no ketchup.
6:00
Now, like some tomato, some horseradish,
6:05
things like that.
6:06
Okay.
6:08
Great.
6:09
But if the sandwich is constructed so well,
6:12
I don't need to hide any of the flavors.
6:15
That's fair.
6:17
And I feel the same way about a burger.
6:19
Like if the burger is really, really good,
6:23
I want to taste the burger,
6:25
not any condiments I put on it.
6:32
it would have to be one hell
6:33
of a burger now I now I
6:35
would still put like cheese
6:37
tomato those types of
6:39
things on there onion um
6:41
but I do not want the
6:42
traditional condiment on it
6:44
it would have to be it has
6:45
to be one hell of a burger
6:47
and and the bread would
6:48
have to be also phenomenal
6:49
to go with it for me not to
6:51
add because what kind of
6:52
burgers are you eating that
6:53
do not live up to that story
6:58
if I'm making some for meal
6:59
prep that aren't necessarily, you know,
7:03
dripping with fat and, and, and whatnot.
7:07
Yeah.
7:08
Turkey burgers need.
7:09
Yeah.
7:11
Turkey burgers need condiments.
7:13
I'll give you that.
7:14
Or the really lean beef.
7:16
Yeah.
7:17
Yeah.
7:17
You got to give some moisture to the, the,
7:19
the story.
7:20
And it's not even so much for the burger.
7:22
It's for the bun.
7:23
Cause I cannot do dry bread.
7:25
Like I need something on it,
7:27
but maybe that's, I don't know.
7:29
Maybe that's just me.
7:31
jody lynn whoa way early
7:32
yeah we went fifteen
7:34
minutes early today um
7:35
again I have a big meeting
7:36
at one o'clock that I
7:37
cannot be late for us and
7:40
corey and I talk a lot so
7:43
um I decided to go a little
7:45
bit early so I didn't want
7:46
to cheat my time with my
7:48
friend from the south um so
7:51
I just went early so we
7:52
could chat a little bit
7:55
Uh, no time.
7:57
I mean,
7:57
I could change it to noon permanently.
8:00
I don't know.
8:00
I just,
8:01
the twelve fifteen kind of works
8:02
because my lunch hour hits at twelve.
8:04
It gives me time to kind of get down here,
8:06
get everything set up and everything.
8:09
Um, it's just today today.
8:12
And just to be transparent,
8:13
I'm my evaluation is at one o'clock.
8:16
My annual evaluation.
8:17
Yeah, that seems important.
8:19
Not the thing you want to
8:20
show up late for.
8:21
Not generally speaking.
8:21
Yeah.
8:23
Um, so I just moved it a little bit today,
8:26
so I'm not late for my yearly evaluation.
8:28
Fair point.
8:32
So that's that.
8:33
And because of what happened last week,
8:35
it was actually scheduled last Thursday,
8:38
um, which got bumped stroke.
8:41
So I've already pushed it.
8:42
Now I just need to,
8:44
I need to go and be there
8:45
on time and get it done.
8:48
so yeah um one quick uh
8:51
verification I found out in
8:52
the comments from the show
8:54
yesterday that the mayhem
8:55
athletes who did qualify
8:56
for the games were drug tested
8:58
cool good um brandon lueck
9:02
uh put into the the
9:04
comments that he was
9:05
actually one of the members
9:06
that escorted the athletes
9:09
to the drug testing area um
9:12
and that top five all got
9:15
drug tested so two
9:16
qualified and three backups
9:17
on each side even better
9:20
so better so we did get
9:22
confirmation that that did
9:24
happen at the mayhem
9:25
classic this weekend there
9:27
was drug testing involved
9:29
as there should not should
9:31
have been good so good deal
9:34
Just wanted to clear that up
9:34
and thank Judy Reed.
9:37
Confirm that Brandon Lewick
9:40
confirmed that.
9:41
So thank you to those guys
9:42
for jumping in the comments to do that.
9:46
I saw Judy's Instagram and I
9:48
was jealous as shit that
9:49
she was up there getting to
9:51
check him out.
9:53
She said she was actually
9:54
trying to get a picture
9:55
with Colton and was told
9:57
that you're not allowed to
9:58
touch him because he hasn't
9:59
been drug tested yet.
10:03
Hey, that's good, man.
10:05
They take it serious.
10:06
Good.
10:07
Good.
10:07
So much the better.
10:09
So much the better.
10:11
So thank you to those guys
10:12
for clearing that up
10:13
because we did not know yesterday.
10:16
And now we do.
10:18
I like to know.
10:21
Yeah.
10:21
The only thing Colton's
10:22
going to test positive for
10:23
is patriotism and probably pork,
10:26
if I had to guess.
10:28
Pig manure.
10:30
Yeah.
10:31
Yeah.
10:32
Before we went on the air,
10:33
we were talking about this,
10:34
so I'm going to pull this
10:35
up so we can talk about it.
10:39
Jason Grubb made a post on
10:41
Instagram about the video
10:43
review process for the age
10:45
group online semi.
10:50
And I'll go down through these.
10:52
The first one is these are
10:54
the problems he is seeing
10:55
with the video review
10:57
process that's out there.
10:58
There's no comment or drop
11:00
down menu to identify violations for HQ,
11:02
which means they have to
11:05
watch the entire video to
11:06
figure out what's wrong.
11:12
That's kind of a gray area
11:13
as far as I'm concerned.
11:15
I get what they're saying,
11:16
but what are you going to do?
11:18
You'd have to have seventeen
11:19
hundred different options
11:20
because they didn't follow procedure.
11:24
They missed the rep.
11:26
And if they miss the rep,
11:27
what are you going to have?
11:28
They're going to miss the
11:29
rep at the beginning,
11:29
they're going to miss the
11:30
rep in the middle,
11:31
they're going to miss the rep at the end,
11:32
miscount it somewhere.
11:33
That could get very out of hand very,
11:37
very quickly.
11:38
So drop down, I think,
11:40
is out of the question.
11:41
That's not even possible.
11:42
There's just too many scenarios.
11:44
But a text box,
11:45
there used to be in the old
11:47
days when this was open before,
11:49
where there was a text box
11:51
and you could say at the
11:53
fifteen twenty three mark,
11:56
this happened.
11:57
Yeah.
11:58
And you, and if you were judging them,
12:00
you had to put that in the
12:01
comment section.
12:04
That would be fair.
12:05
I can see that one.
12:06
I think that is a needed
12:08
change because now it's not
12:10
thumbs up or thumbs down.
12:11
You actually have to say,
12:13
this is what went wrong.
12:18
And then it's not easy to do
12:20
some of these other things
12:21
that are going to be listed.
12:22
Right.
12:23
Right.
12:25
And that has to,
12:26
that also proves that you
12:28
actually watched the video
12:30
and judged it and not just
12:32
gave an answer.
12:35
That's a whole thing in and of itself.
12:37
We're going to get to that one.
12:40
Andrew Sten says you should
12:41
have to comment what you see,
12:43
just something like no reps
12:45
on X movement or didn't show clock,
12:47
et cetera.
12:48
Right.
12:52
um he says good or bad is
12:53
way too vague the next
12:54
thing is we can't see who's
12:55
marking the video so it's
12:56
tough to spot any patterns
12:58
so if one person is
12:59
flooding it with bads um
13:02
and and it's just the
13:04
people ahead of them or
13:07
their friend you can't
13:08
detect patterns so but we
13:11
don't know what they can
13:12
see on the back end this is
13:14
also true I'm going through
13:16
because I have gone through
13:17
and looked at stuff and
13:21
the number four keeps coming
13:22
to mind because on a lot of videos,
13:25
there's four downvotes,
13:26
like for this needs attention,
13:28
whatever you want to call it.
13:29
And it's four.
13:31
And you go look at the next
13:32
video and there's four.
13:33
And you go look at the next
13:33
video and there's four.
13:35
And I see a pattern there.
13:38
I mean,
13:39
that sounds like there's somebody or some,
13:43
which is going to get into that cadre,
13:45
if you will,
13:46
of people who are going through and just
13:51
for whatever conceivable reason.
13:55
So I don't know if you
13:57
necessarily need to.
13:58
And again, like you said,
13:59
I don't know what they can
14:00
see on the back half or on
14:02
their side of it, but that's definitely,
14:05
I would say that that's
14:05
definitely some sort of issue.
14:09
And that goes back or goes
14:11
along with the whole,
14:13
I don't have to watch the
14:14
video to judge it thing.
14:16
Yeah.
14:18
And that we can combine three and four.
14:19
Some athletes used friends
14:21
or judges to pre-populate
14:22
good reviews right at the start,
14:24
which may discourage others
14:25
from watching and critiquing.
14:26
And then there are reports
14:27
of organized network
14:28
downvoting other competitors.
14:31
Yeah.
14:31
So like I was telling,
14:32
like we were talking about before we,
14:33
before we came on Monday morning,
14:36
people had, you know,
14:38
and I don't remember exactly who it was,
14:39
but somebody in my age group had like,
14:42
good video votes come Monday morning.
14:46
like just call it Monday at lunchtime,
14:47
whatever it was, at eleven or twelve,
14:50
and the videos hadn't been
14:51
live for twelve hours.
14:54
That seemed like a bit excessive to me.
14:56
Like that's a red flag as
14:58
far as I'm concerned.
14:59
Like you mean to tell me
14:59
that's been up for a week?
15:02
Not even a week, excuse me,
15:03
not even a full twenty-four hours yet,
15:06
just because of how long it
15:07
took for everything to
15:07
actually be able to be viewable,
15:09
and now all of a sudden you've got eleven,
15:11
hey, these are good votes already?
15:15
Something about that that's not right.
15:17
Number five,
15:18
scores at the top and bottom
15:19
of qualifying spots are
15:21
getting reviewed way more
15:22
than those in the middle of
15:23
the leaderboard,
15:23
so videos aren't being
15:24
judged consistently.
15:26
Yeah,
15:27
the top of the leaderboard is way
15:29
more judged than any other
15:31
part of the leaderboard.
15:32
If you go down to the cut
15:34
line around there, there's a pickup,
15:36
again,
15:37
not quite as big as the top of the
15:38
leaderboard.
15:39
And then in the middle,
15:40
there's hardly any.
15:40
Yeah.
15:42
And like we were talking about again,
15:44
I almost feel like it's to
15:45
be expected because like I told you,
15:48
if I was in thirty second
15:50
place and I had way less
15:52
scruples and morals than I do,
15:55
it'd be real easy for me to
15:56
just go to the four or five
15:58
people above me and just
16:00
blanket say they're all they're all bad.
16:02
You know,
16:02
they're all bad or they all need
16:03
review or whatever.
16:05
just to try to get somebody
16:06
to look at it in case I
16:08
might be able to get bumped
16:09
up like it wouldn't be a
16:10
hard thing to do with the
16:11
way it's set up like it is
16:12
um the six and seven we've
16:15
already kind of talked
16:16
about you don't even have
16:17
to watch a video to submit
16:18
a judgment on it and down
16:19
vote should be visible at
16:21
hq on the back end uh to track patterns
16:24
So we've talked about those,
16:25
but I do think it sheds some light on,
16:30
we thought that this was a
16:31
really good step and it is
16:32
a good step to have video review publicly,
16:35
but I don't know how much
16:37
it helps HQ when there's no
16:39
information transferred to
16:41
them as to what's wrong with this video.
16:43
Yeah, a hundred percent,
16:45
a hundred percent.
16:46
I will say this too,
16:47
and somebody brought this up,
16:48
a couple of different
16:48
people brought this up as well.
16:50
One of the first comments
16:51
underneath there,
16:53
was saying that so you mean
16:55
to tell me that you made me
16:58
get two judges both of them
17:00
have to have another one
17:01
both of them have to have
17:01
the judges course both of
17:02
them have to have the
17:03
advanced judges course they
17:04
both have to be present
17:06
while I'm doing the
17:07
workouts this entire
17:08
weekend and now somebody
17:12
who is only has one camera
17:13
view one camera angle can
17:15
go back and review this and
17:16
tell me that the stuff that
17:17
I was already been judged
17:18
for is no longer good
17:23
Like I'll understand video reviews,
17:25
the thing I get that, but it, and I,
17:30
so I'm torn as far as that's concerned,
17:31
because I do like the fact
17:32
that everybody can see what
17:33
everybody's doing.
17:35
And, and,
17:37
but us judging ourselves at that
17:39
point seems a little bit suspect.
17:44
Um, KL layman says, I mean, I mean,
17:46
Charlie Odie says, if you're not cheating,
17:48
you're not trying.
17:55
Oh, that's good stuff.
17:56
I will say this.
17:56
Like I have been just spot
17:58
checking some videos to see
18:00
like if especially ones
18:02
that have like huge numbers
18:04
of like down downvotes.
18:07
Dude, I was a judge for a long time.
18:10
I'm having a hard time
18:11
finding what they're seeing.
18:13
It really feels to me like on the,
18:18
on the good side that
18:19
knowing you have to post these videos,
18:21
people are not trying to
18:22
get away with a lot of shit.
18:24
Right.
18:26
Right.
18:26
Yeah.
18:27
But on the bad side,
18:28
I think people are abusing
18:30
the fact that they get to
18:31
judge and they're just power trip,
18:34
mad power, hungry,
18:36
whatever you want to call it.
18:38
uh yeah if this is how the
18:44
age groups are going indie
18:45
semis is going to be lit
18:46
bro he ain't wrong
18:52
But again,
18:52
like I've spot checked some and I,
18:55
and I have not dove in like
18:56
a judge would dive in and done like.
18:58
Forty of these things.
18:59
Right.
19:00
I've just done a little bit
19:01
here and there to see if I
19:03
can find bad movement.
19:05
It's really hard, man.
19:07
It's really, really hard.
19:09
And I think it is.
19:10
I think that the video
19:12
submissions are forcing the athletes to,
19:16
to have good movement.
19:18
You kind of have to.
19:20
You kind of have to.
19:22
I mean,
19:22
you either have to or you have to
19:23
be absolutely delusional to
19:25
say that I'm just going to
19:26
post this video and post
19:27
this BS score and just put
19:30
it out there for everybody to see.
19:31
Like, that seems insane to me.
19:33
There's no way on God's green earth.
19:36
I'm bad enough in person
19:37
where I don't want somebody to see me.
19:40
I told you last weekend my
19:42
two major goals were to
19:44
leave everything on the
19:45
floor and not end up on an
19:47
Andrew Hiller video.
19:48
the two things I care about
19:50
you know I want to do as
19:52
well as I possibly can and
19:54
I do not want to end up on
19:55
an andrew hiller video
19:56
because I've watched those
19:57
videos and bruh like that's
19:59
got to be ridiculously
20:02
embarrassing to say that
20:04
somebody's sitting there
20:04
going look at it look at
20:07
this dude what is he doing
20:08
you know all that kind of
20:09
stuff what andrew says is
20:11
exactly what's gone through
20:12
my mind you have to wonder
20:13
if these people know how to
20:14
judge at all and know how
20:16
to review a video
20:18
and really understand the standards.
20:21
I'm going to say this too, Andrew,
20:23
to that point is that I
20:24
didn't take the advanced judges course,
20:26
but I took the regular judges course.
20:27
If you don't get the answers right,
20:32
you can just keep going
20:33
until you do and then move
20:35
on about with your day,
20:37
not caring whatsoever about
20:38
how people actually move.
20:41
or not knowing, not wanting to know.
20:43
Like if my,
20:43
my wife who does CrossFit and
20:46
has competed before,
20:48
but if she wanted to go
20:50
just sit down and take the
20:51
judges course for ten bucks
20:54
and like guess at answers
20:55
until she got them right, she could.
20:57
And then she could go and
20:58
watch these videos and just
20:59
download whoever and anybody could,
21:02
you know, so.
21:04
I trained to live a workout for women,
21:06
forty to forty four.
21:07
Top score had the athlete
21:08
doing rebounding box jumps.
21:10
Well,
21:11
that is not the standard and that
21:12
should be downvoted.
21:14
Again,
21:15
I was just spot checking all over
21:16
the place.
21:16
I was with no rhyme or reason.
21:20
I'm sure there are some bad
21:21
movements in there, but I, you know.
21:25
in the past we've seen like
21:27
train wrecks full of videos
21:29
that have been bad this
21:31
seems to like have cured
21:33
some of that um where now
21:36
you're just getting the
21:37
fine details right yeah I
21:41
mean I watched one
21:42
yesterday that had five or
21:45
six down votes and it was
21:47
uh one of the guys in my
21:48
age group it was them doing
21:50
isabelle and no I'm sorry not isabelle
21:54
scratch that the uh clean
21:58
muscle uh bar muscle up one
21:59
yep and I'm watching him go
22:01
and like everything looks
22:03
fine you know every once in
22:04
a while I'm counting where
22:05
his reps are making sure
22:06
he's looking okay the
22:07
elbows are coming through
22:08
and clean I'm trying to
22:08
figure out what is going on
22:11
and they don't know me I
22:12
couldn't see the clock and
22:14
so I'll start looking and
22:16
his clock I you not is about this big
22:20
I finally found it and it's
22:22
on a magnet and it's stuck
22:23
to the rig yep you can see
22:25
it right but it's that big
22:29
yep and I'm finally okay
22:31
that's probably what the
22:32
deal is that whoever looked
22:34
at it they couldn't see
22:36
they couldn't see a clock
22:37
which you have in the head
22:38
you know obviously it has
22:39
to be visible and it's not
22:40
even in bright colors it's like
22:43
light green and with white
22:46
numbers or whatever as it's
22:47
going it's hard to see yeah
22:50
you know he's not against
22:51
the rules did you know that
22:53
uh james newberry is part
22:55
of the company that
22:55
invented that I did not but
22:58
a little magnetic time
22:59
clock yeah oh just one of
23:04
those just interesting fun facts
23:08
I feel like James Newberry
23:09
probably has a lot of
23:10
interesting fun facts surrounding him.
23:11
Most of those Australian boys.
23:12
He's one of the most
23:13
interesting dudes ever.
23:15
I interviewed him one time
23:16
on this show and dude, we like,
23:19
he's building a house out
23:20
of a shipping containers.
23:22
Oh, yeah, yeah.
23:24
He's just one of those like, yeah,
23:26
exactly.
23:28
Andrew says,
23:28
the good thing is these
23:29
reviews don't affect
23:30
anything other than
23:31
triggering a possible review by HQ.
23:33
It is.
23:34
But here's the problem.
23:35
If it's not done legit,
23:38
it's not giving HQ the
23:40
right information it needs
23:41
to filter down to the right
23:43
videos to watch.
23:45
Correct.
23:46
Or it's taking away from
23:47
videos that might actually need
23:50
Because these will be up until Friday.
23:53
And then HQ says that the
23:55
leaderboard will be
23:55
finalized a week after that.
23:59
Yeah.
24:00
A little bit more than a week.
24:02
That's not a lot of time to
24:04
get through all those videos.
24:06
No.
24:07
And there's a lot of people.
24:08
Like a whole lot of people.
24:14
Charlie Odie says his swim
24:15
trunks are fantastic.
24:16
That's James Newberry and Corey Leonard.
24:19
I hear.
24:21
And I got jammers.
24:22
I got jammers.
24:23
Of course, from tomorrow morning,
24:24
as a matter of fact.
24:27
Got to get back in the booth, Scott.
24:29
So you had goals this year with the semis.
24:35
Yes, sir.
24:36
We have not talked online or
24:38
on this podcast since you did semis.
24:43
What was your improvement?
24:45
So last year I finished a
24:46
hundred and fifty seventh.
24:47
This year I was eighty fifth.
24:51
Nice jump.
24:52
You're older.
24:53
I'm a year older.
24:56
I always feel like a weirdo
25:00
talking about myself like this,
25:01
but it's fun for me to see
25:05
the progress because
25:09
progress is never linear.
25:14
The jumps that I'm making make
25:21
jumps that I'm making show
25:22
me that I'm on the right
25:23
I'm on the right track I'm
25:24
on the right path and I'm I
25:26
feel I'm pretty pumped
25:27
about that um I only got so
25:29
all of them ended up being
25:30
one and done uh I did and
25:34
that was that was due to
25:36
the judging requirements
25:37
that was due to the judging
25:38
requirements judging
25:39
requirements and I mean
25:41
regular family life stuff
25:42
like um I was gonna have
25:44
time for a redo on sunday
25:47
evening I was gonna do the almost love uh
25:50
clean one again or yeah,
25:52
clean my muscle up on again.
25:54
And then my head judge,
25:56
who's also my best friend, uh,
25:57
Bernard texted me Sunday morning.
26:00
Cause I'm assuming his wife, uh,
26:02
reminded him that they had
26:03
a wedding to attend on
26:05
Sunday afternoon and they
26:06
need to be going by three thirty.
26:08
And I was not going to, cause I did the,
26:12
uh, handstand walk,
26:13
pull up burpee to the bar
26:15
one Sunday morning.
26:17
And I wasn't gonna be recovered in time.
26:20
Like they do a proper redo
26:21
by the time they had to leave.
26:23
And so I was out of judging, period.
26:26
I would have liked to have
26:27
done one Thursday, two Friday,
26:31
two Saturday,
26:32
and then had Sunday for whatever redos.
26:35
But family stuff, man,
26:37
I brought my daughter to a
26:38
daddy-daughter dance Friday
26:40
night because apparently
26:43
Sorrento Primary doesn't
26:44
care about CrossFit age group semifinals.
26:47
Who knew?
26:47
Yeah.
26:51
So what you're saying is CrossFit works.
26:53
It's weird, Charlie.
26:54
You should try it.
26:58
So we haven't talked about this much,
27:00
but last year,
27:01
didn't you have like a full week?
27:03
Last year, almost.
27:05
Almost.
27:06
It was Thursday through Monday.
27:08
We had a whole extra day.
27:11
And this year, they clamped that down.
27:13
Yeah.
27:15
And you had all these extra requirements.
27:17
Yeah.
27:18
Yeah.
27:19
Yeah.
27:20
Last year, this year, they added hoops.
27:22
They shortened the time
27:22
frame and added several hoops, which,
27:29
I mean, it is what it is, dude.
27:30
Like, I want to compete.
27:31
So I'm going to do, yeah, it's called .com,
27:35
Charlie.
27:36
It's free to everybody.
27:37
Been like that since Jesus was a baby.
27:41
He'll do a two-week free
27:43
trial of anything that's out there.
27:45
Hey, Emomco's got a free trial,
27:47
but sign up.
27:49
We have several different
27:50
tracks to pick from.
27:52
But I'm going to compete.
27:55
I'm going to find a way
27:57
because I want to put myself to the test.
27:59
I want to hold myself to the standard.
28:01
So at the same time, it is very,
28:05
very hard for me
28:07
to ask my friends, ask my friends,
28:11
I didn't ask anybody,
28:13
ask my friends to sacrifice
28:16
their time and basically
28:17
most of their weekend to
28:20
come watch me suffer,
28:21
because that's exactly what they did.
28:25
Anyway,
28:29
and they loved me enough to where
28:31
they were happy to come and do it, but
28:36
I just, I, it was a bit much.
28:39
If you ask me, I mean, it really,
28:41
it really, really was.
28:42
I understand where they were coming from,
28:45
but at the same time, I think,
28:46
I think I can,
28:47
I think I can feel both ways about it.
28:48
Like I understand where they
28:49
can come in from.
28:50
I just think it was a little bit much.
28:54
Denise said they made it so
28:55
hard for some people to do the workouts.
28:57
I was pretty lucky that I
28:58
got the L one in December
29:02
and more ways than one.
29:04
Let me,
29:06
This kind of popped into my head, right?
29:08
Yeah.
29:08
So like age groups, you guys all have jobs,
29:10
right?
29:11
You're working, you have families,
29:13
you're doing all that stuff.
29:16
I can see an extra judge for the elites.
29:18
These people are, for the majority of them,
29:22
this is their livelihood.
29:23
This is what they're trying
29:25
to make money at.
29:27
to have them do that in the
29:29
in affiliate semis kind of
29:32
makes sense to extend that
29:34
to the age groups where you
29:36
have limited time, limited resources.
29:39
It maybe that's something
29:43
that needs to change is for
29:46
the age groups.
29:49
This isn't,
29:50
you aren't the elites of the elites,
29:52
you know,
29:52
until the masters games becomes
29:55
way more popular.
29:56
Like,
29:58
You're at where you're at, right?
30:01
Yeah.
30:01
You're going to have to show
30:02
up for work every Monday morning.
30:05
Yeah.
30:06
Like Brett Owsley said
30:07
behind the scenes last year,
30:08
I'm going to go,
30:09
no matter if I win this
30:11
weekend or not at the CrossFit Games,
30:13
I have to go to work Monday
30:14
and my boss still wants all
30:15
the emails answered.
30:16
Correct.
30:18
Same.
30:19
And so for the age groups,
30:22
this two-judge thing is just ridiculous.
30:25
Yeah.
30:27
And here's the thing.
30:28
So I get the idea of having a head judge.
30:31
If you have five athletes going,
30:35
I was the only person that
30:36
made semis at my gym.
30:39
So what did I need?
30:40
What did I need?
30:42
Like my,
30:42
my buddy Jeff is one of the few
30:44
people I will let judge me
30:45
because I know he will hold
30:46
me to the standard.
30:47
I know that he's going to be
30:48
fair and he's going to call
30:50
me out if I do something stupid,
30:52
which he does all the time.
30:55
Um,
30:56
what was bernard there for
30:57
other than to be in my
30:58
videos and act at full
31:01
because that's what they
31:01
did whenever they had to do
31:02
the introductions things
31:03
like for one of them but
31:05
orange sitting there
31:06
curling with one of the
31:08
dumbbells and jeff no reps
31:10
him right before I we I
31:11
entered you know we
31:12
introduced them like
31:13
another one they were doing
31:14
push-ups because they
31:17
because what else are they
31:18
there for you know
31:20
Jeff has to be in the video
31:22
because he is the floor judge.
31:24
I understand that.
31:24
Hey,
31:25
this dude's here the entire time
31:26
holding me to standard.
31:28
But literally,
31:28
Bernard could have showed up.
31:29
He'd help us because that's what we did.
31:34
We all marked everything out
31:35
that needed to be marked
31:36
out with tape and all that good shit.
31:38
And then after the video,
31:41
when he was introduced,
31:41
he could have left because
31:45
what difference does it make?
31:47
And if it was already,
31:48
like we used the same,
31:50
so I marked off five feet
31:51
from the rig and in a
31:52
fifteen foot section
31:54
because I needed that for
31:55
the handstand walk and for the lunge.
31:57
And then the five feet I also used for the,
32:00
because the bar had to be
32:01
five feet from the rig for
32:02
the bar muscle up clean one.
32:05
So I just used the same tape
32:06
line all weekend, more or less.
32:08
I needed one more for the
32:11
row shoulder overhead.
32:14
But like other than that,
32:16
Like that's already in there.
32:17
Everything's measured.
32:18
Everything's taped down.
32:20
So he's there for what exactly after that?
32:25
I don't get it.
32:26
And then when you go,
32:27
this is another thing too.
32:28
So you have to list,
32:31
when you go to put your score in,
32:33
you have to put a YouTube link.
32:35
Where was that?
32:35
So when you put in,
32:36
when I put in CrossFit Birders,
32:38
CrossFit Birders populates, right?
32:40
Yep, select that.
32:42
Normally for the open,
32:44
if I put in Scott Switzer,
32:46
Scott Switzer's name comes
32:48
up and I can select him as my judge.
32:50
Well, it ain't the case.
32:53
Like I go put in Benoit.
32:54
I got to type Benoit's name out,
32:57
type Jeff's name with a comma,
32:59
type Jeff's name out.
33:00
And it doesn't populate that
33:02
either one of them even
33:03
took the judge's course or
33:04
the advanced judge's course.
33:05
So I'm just putting names in
33:06
at that point.
33:07
Yeah.
33:09
That seems kind of off.
33:12
as compared to what we had
33:13
to do for the open.
33:16
So I don't know.
33:16
I don't know what that was
33:18
about because what are you
33:19
going to do if somebody
33:20
challenges it or what,
33:21
here's the name is now let
33:22
me go run a cross check
33:24
myself instead of verifying it right.
33:26
Whenever it gets on there.
33:28
Thank you, Denise.
33:32
Yeah.
33:32
It's, it's funny.
33:33
You talk about how like
33:35
Bernard was flexing to the
33:37
camera and all that stuff.
33:38
I don't know if you,
33:40
I made so many friends with
33:41
behind the scenes last year
33:43
and doing all the
33:43
interviews prior to the
33:44
games with the Masters
33:46
athletes that I was out
33:48
bouncing around on every
33:50
leaderboard trying to see
33:51
if all the people I met and
33:53
became friends with made it back, right?
33:57
I think it was Kate McKee
34:03
who had Travis Mayer as her head judge.
34:08
And he was a goofball in
34:10
every single... She
34:11
actually made a reel of the
34:13
introductions and Travis coming in,
34:15
introducing himself.
34:17
One,
34:17
he had his shirt pulled up and just
34:19
his face showing out.
34:22
They're hilarious.
34:23
Yeah.
34:29
Because why not?
34:30
Yeah.
34:31
One, I love it because this should be fun.
34:35
We're celebrating what you
34:37
all can do at these more
34:39
advanced stages of life.
34:42
Like Denise getting her
34:43
first bar muscle up.
34:46
That should be celebrated.
34:50
And so we should be having fun.
34:51
We should be doing goofy
34:52
stuff on the videos.
34:55
Anything to make them more
34:56
popular for people to come
34:57
watch to see what you guys can pull off.
35:03
um I just love it I but it
35:04
also shows like like that
35:07
having all of these extra
35:09
requirements for these age
35:10
group athletes is dumb it's
35:11
just it's just overkill I
35:16
was talking so me and my
35:18
wife were talking about it
35:19
the other night and shout
35:20
out to her as well because
35:22
she was there for all of
35:23
them except one um she went
35:26
there friday because they
35:27
uh brody had orientation lsu um
35:33
She got cussed out by me twice,
35:36
once Thursday night,
35:38
right before Isabelle started,
35:39
and then once Saturday
35:42
morning because got my back to the line,
35:47
standing there.
35:47
I'm like, all right, start the music.
35:50
I start the music, and it's just on random,
35:52
but it's my playlists,
35:54
and one of my favorite
35:55
workout songs immediately started,
35:57
and I was like, I'm kind of grooving,
35:59
you know?
36:00
I'm like...
36:01
put my finger in there as a
36:02
side flip in order to start the clock.
36:04
So he's giving me a ten second countdown,
36:05
turn around, grab the dumbbell,
36:08
start lunging.
36:09
I get one step from the
36:11
turnaround and the music changes.
36:15
And I, oh yeah, yeah.
36:17
And so, and look, dude, you know me,
36:19
like I'm as laid back as they come.
36:22
I came unhinged, Scott.
36:24
I didn't stop, but I said, who the,
36:26
change the music.
36:29
And Jennifer said, well,
36:30
she made Brody do it.
36:31
She made my son do it
36:35
because she didn't like that song.
36:36
And I said, she said,
36:39
I didn't like that song.
36:41
And I'm sitting there and
36:41
you can see it in the video.
36:42
I'm lunging back.
36:43
I said, are you serious right now?
36:45
Like lost my mind.
36:49
Thursday night, I was already nervous.
36:52
I was doing Isabel.
36:53
Like I had just did a
36:54
practice of it earlier during the week,
36:57
which was fine, but like,
36:59
getting time right and it's
37:00
my first one so like I am
37:02
I'm wound up like an eight
37:03
day cloud and I warmed up
37:05
to it warmed up to it I did
37:07
like two at one eighty five
37:08
I had to go use the
37:09
restroom I came back I'm
37:11
like all right and I went
37:12
to go hit it again and I
37:13
missed and everybody's talking
37:17
Like these two were talking
37:18
to each other and I got
37:19
people that's fixing to go
37:20
do the five thirty class.
37:21
And they're sitting down
37:22
watching me getting warmed
37:23
up and trying to figure out
37:23
what I'm fixing to do and
37:24
like all this stuff.
37:26
And it was just overload.
37:28
And I just sat up and I said,
37:30
I need everybody to shut up
37:33
and go that way for a minute.
37:34
And then gather myself,
37:41
hit it another time for the warm up.
37:43
I was like, all right,
37:43
we can go ahead and start now.
37:46
she put up with my
37:47
shenanigans all weekend
37:48
long and her and I were
37:49
talking about it um I
37:53
forget where I was where I
37:54
even started with that but
37:56
she was awesome all weekend
37:57
so just wanted to make sure
37:59
that she is showing some
38:01
appreciation denise says
38:04
never have the foo fighters
38:05
in your videos I had so
38:07
many copyright issues on
38:08
youtube with their songs
38:10
I got,
38:11
so three out of my five videos have
38:14
copyright issues,
38:15
like are not shown in whatever countries.
38:19
I don't think it's any
38:20
countries that matter at this point.
38:21
And I will say this too.
38:22
It doesn't really matter at
38:23
this point anyway,
38:23
because I'm in the eighty-fifth spot.
38:25
Ain't nobody going to look
38:25
at my videos to begin with.
38:30
Jay Birch says,
38:31
that's why you should do no
38:32
music sometimes.
38:33
I will tell you what.
38:35
I had to judge the Rogue
38:36
Invitational the year they
38:37
went online because of
38:40
covid and they said that the
38:44
athletes could play no
38:45
music because of the
38:46
copyright issues and they
38:47
were broadcasting live and
38:50
uh judging an elite athlete
38:53
hearing him breathe on
38:54
every single rep was wild I
38:59
can't even imagine dude wild
39:03
Because usually they can't hear you.
39:04
You can't hear them.
39:06
You're making the big
39:07
signals of no rep or
39:08
whatever because they can't hear you.
39:11
And wow.
39:14
Wild.
39:16
It's not that I don't have.
39:18
So I will work out with different music,
39:20
like not necessarily stuff that's real,
39:22
you know, whatever.
39:24
Like yesterday morning,
39:25
I went and just did thirty
39:26
five minutes alternate between machines.
39:28
And I had basically like.
39:31
bluesy rock, you know,
39:33
but slower type stuff going on is the,
39:37
my entire thing with that
39:39
is that I was grooving
39:41
whenever my stuff came on.
39:43
Ten seconds.
39:43
Okay.
39:44
Yeah, let's go.
39:44
I got this.
39:45
And then all of a sudden it
39:45
abruptly changes, bro.
39:49
I can't like, and I, I told my,
39:53
on my train report, I said,
39:54
if it had happened three minutes later,
39:57
I wouldn't even notice.
39:59
Because I would have been in
39:59
it by that point.
40:00
But it was literally,
40:01
I didn't even make it.
40:04
Seven-forty-two, Aaron.
40:08
Aaron asked what his heavy Isabel time is.
40:10
I know it's lower than Denise's.
40:13
Seven-forty-two.
40:14
I am probably going to do that one again,
40:16
maybe Sunday, as a matter of fact.
40:18
Because I'm pretty sure I can go faster.
40:20
And I want to just try it out.
40:24
I think Denise went two-something.
40:26
Shut up.
40:29
What was her?
40:31
Denise, what was your weight?
40:32
Denise never met a barbell
40:34
she didn't like.
40:40
I love that.
40:41
I love that.
40:43
Oh, my God.
40:43
That's like my regular Isabelle time.
40:53
Andrew Sten, just an FYI,
40:54
registration is open for
40:55
anyone who wants to
40:55
volunteer at the age group games.
40:59
So basically Denise could
41:00
have done heavy as about
41:02
twice and I still wouldn't
41:04
have been finished.
41:08
Yeah.
41:09
Yeah.
41:09
And just remember the age
41:11
group games are here in Columbus.
41:14
There,
41:14
there may or may not be a barbecue
41:16
that week at someone's house.
41:19
Just saying, just saying that's fantastic.
41:25
I got to reach out and see
41:26
if I can do behind the
41:27
scenes again this year.
41:30
Oh, Joe and them still putting it on?
41:33
I think so.
41:34
Yeah.
41:36
Yeah.
41:36
I just got it.
41:39
It is about twice in thirty
41:40
minutes because I called on
41:41
myself the first time.
41:42
Bro.
41:45
So her second attempt in
41:47
thirty minutes was to forty to forty.
41:51
I will say this.
41:52
What I did learn.
41:54
So every big comp I do,
41:57
a very good friend of mine
41:58
got me doing this after MFC,
41:59
as a matter of fact,
42:01
is I go back and write down
42:03
takeaways from the weekend.
42:05
Right.
42:05
From what I learned, et cetera, et cetera,
42:07
et cetera.
42:08
And the biggest thing,
42:09
one of the bigger things I
42:10
should say is that
42:12
From a grand perspective, forward progress,
42:14
like any progress is still progress,
42:16
no matter how slow.
42:17
And I made a big jump this year,
42:18
like going from one hundred
42:20
fifty seventh to now a fifth.
42:22
That's kind of a big deal.
42:23
Right.
42:23
So I'm on I'm on the right path.
42:24
The other thing was this is
42:26
way more specific to what we did.
42:29
I put all the stuff that I
42:30
was going to be fairly
42:32
short or I thought I was
42:33
going to be good at first.
42:37
And then took the stuff that
42:38
I thought was going to suck
42:40
and going to hurt and
42:40
whatnot and save that for last.
42:43
Bad idea.
42:44
Bad idea.
42:45
By the time Sunday morning
42:46
rolled around and it was
42:47
time to do the handstand walk, pull up,
42:50
burpee, I was wasted.
42:52
I was completely done.
42:54
I didn't even want to, Scott.
42:56
Like I had no urge whatsoever.
43:00
And I told Brandon, you know,
43:03
I was talking about it Sunday afternoon.
43:04
I said,
43:06
As bad as I didn't want to do it,
43:08
the pain of the twenty
43:10
minutes that I was going to
43:12
experience in that twenty
43:13
minutes was going to be
43:15
nothing compared to how bad
43:16
it would have hurt if I
43:17
just would have skipped it
43:18
and not known where I
43:19
actually would have ended up.
43:21
So like that's a big takeaway for me.
43:23
And then maybe next year we
43:25
do the stuff that I'm not
43:26
so great at or the longer
43:29
type stuff and whatnot or
43:30
stuff that might hurt a
43:31
little bit more because the sprinty stuff,
43:33
I can do that four times in
43:34
a day if I need to.
43:35
That's not a big deal.
43:37
But the longer,
43:39
more grinding stuff that I
43:40
might not be so fantastic at,
43:42
we might want to go ahead
43:43
and put that first and get
43:44
it out the way and then do
43:45
the fun stuff later.
43:48
Yeah.
43:49
Yeah,
43:50
there's probably a blend of that that
43:51
makes the most sense.
43:53
But I see what you're saying
43:54
in like its simplest form.
43:56
Yeah, I thought I had a blend of that.
43:59
But I ended up.
44:01
I ended up doing the row
44:02
shoulder overhead Saturday
44:03
afternoon and then Sunday
44:05
morning did the other
44:06
twenty minute workout and
44:07
that probably wasn't a great idea.
44:10
Although the row shoulder overhead,
44:11
which I thought was going
44:12
to be damage control one
44:13
hundred percent because I
44:15
am not built to row,
44:17
ended up being my best
44:18
finish of the entire weekend.
44:23
Denise did Isabelle first,
44:24
then three rounds of
44:25
thirties last because I was
44:27
going to rip and I did rip
44:28
on that workout.
44:31
That's why I love my frog grips.
44:36
I had a real frog grips.
44:38
I have not ripped in... Shit.
44:44
Eight months, at least.
44:47
At least that long.
44:48
Nice.
44:50
Yeah.
44:52
Well, I hate to cut this short.
44:54
No, dude, you gotta go get evaluated.
44:57
Yeah, I gotta go get my annual evaluation.
45:00
Uh...
45:02
See if I can make it another
45:03
year further to retirement.
45:05
I think you got it in the bag.
45:08
So don't forget tonight at
45:10
five o'clock p.m.
45:11
Eastern Standard Time, Catching Feelings.
45:15
Kat Shears' new show about
45:16
dating where she is going
45:18
to talk about six first
45:19
dates she went on.
45:20
And she's going to share
45:22
some of the text messages
45:24
that happened before, after,
45:27
and during those.
45:30
The first show blew up, man.
45:31
It was our biggest premiere show ever.
45:34
Dude, I'm telling you,
45:36
I got to laughing about it because I saw,
45:38
I don't know if it came up
45:40
on like a short for the
45:41
reels or something like that.
45:42
Anyway,
45:43
I just sit at the house that
45:44
afternoon and Jeff said,
45:45
what are you laughing at?
45:45
I was like, oh,
45:47
we watch it on TV at the house.
45:48
Yeah.
45:49
Yep.
45:49
Well, tonight at five o'clock,
45:53
gather the family.
45:54
Well, maybe don't gather the family.
45:58
And I think the permanent
45:59
resting time for that is
46:00
going to be Tuesday nights going forward.
46:03
But I'm not sure.
46:06
But it's still fluid at this point.
46:07
We're trying to figure it all out.
46:09
But tonight at five p.m.
46:11
Yeah, that's what it'll be.
46:12
Scott, you're doing great.
46:13
But actually,
46:15
I've been killing it lately
46:18
and I've been the go to guy
46:19
for the last few months.
46:20
So I'm hoping this is just a
46:21
quick and easy evaluation
46:23
and get the hell out of there.
46:23
Pretty much.
46:26
We've been doing qualifiers
46:27
in our classes the last two
46:28
days and I am so sore.
46:30
Qualifiers suck, man.
46:34
All right, guys.
46:35
It's time for me to go get my evaluation.
46:37
It's time for you
46:38
knuckleheads to get back to work.
46:39
We'll see everybody next
46:41
time on Lunch with Clydesdale.
46:43
Bye, guys.
