1:31

1:46
uh james what's going on man
1:48
Uh, good morning to you as well.
1:50
Thank you for being here.
1:52
Uh, before we get into too much stuff, um,
1:55
just wanted to share that
1:59
the syndicate crown is
2:00
still looking for volunteers.
2:02
If you're interested in being a volunteer,
2:06
um, they have signups, uh,
2:09
here on Instagram,
2:11
just go to the syndicate crown, uh,
2:14
Instagram page,
2:15
volunteer staff apply by one twenty three,
2:18
ten p.m.
2:18
Eastern time.
2:19
It's a great crew.
2:21
If you've never had the
2:22
chance to volunteer in an event,
2:23
this will be in Knoxville, Knoxville,
2:26
Tennessee.
2:27
And it's put on by the
2:29
twelve labors CrossFit crew.
2:31
It's a great community of people.
2:33
They're great to work with.
2:36
I give them a hard time a
2:37
lot when I'm there for
2:38
media because I push for
2:40
more access than maybe I
2:42
showed or maybe they want to allow.
2:45
But there are great people to work with.
2:47
Wilson Pak leads that crew.
2:49
He's just one of the best
2:52
people I've met in the space.
2:54
And I started my journey
2:55
with CrossFit through
2:57
volunteering with the sports side.
2:59
I started doing...
3:02
just odds and ends things,
3:03
and then went to security,
3:05
then went to judging.
3:07
So I've had a chance to do a
3:08
lot of different things and
3:09
met a lot of great people
3:11
through volunteering.
3:12
And so if you feel so
3:14
inclined and you want to be
3:15
a part of something instead
3:17
of just watching something,
3:19
the volunteer staff is awesome.
3:22
So check that out and see if
3:25
you can get in there and
3:26
they have all kinds of jobs,
3:27
you get to kind of pick
3:28
what you're interested in.
3:31
But, yeah, go check that out.
3:36
So,
3:38
There's that.
3:38
The other thing I will touch on briefly is,
3:42
man, why, why, oh,
3:46
why do I cheer for nothing
3:49
but losers in sport?
3:54
Last night,
3:54
sat down to watch my Penn State
3:56
Nittany Lions take on the
3:58
Notre Dame Fighting Irish,
4:00
only for them to blow it in
4:02
the end with a horrible
4:05
pass by Drew Aller at the
4:07
end of the game to throw an
4:08
interception and set up
4:10
Notre Dame for a pretty
4:13
makeable field goal with...
4:15
But yeah, so frustrating.
4:19
Penn State gained one
4:20
hundred and forty five
4:21
yards in the first half on the ground.
4:24
They were getting five, six,
4:26
seven yards a clip.
4:27
I don't know why they go
4:29
away from that and try to get cute,
4:32
but they because they were.
4:34
They were wearing down the
4:36
Notre Dame defense in that
4:37
first half so much,
4:39
and they let the game get
4:41
away from them by being goofy and cute.
4:46
And because of that, they lost the game.
4:51
And then we have to see the
4:52
stats about James Franklin,
4:53
the head coach of Penn State,
4:55
who has won one out of
4:58
fifteen games against top five opponents.
5:02
Now,
5:02
the majority of those are Ohio State
5:04
and Michigan in the Big Ten, but he, man,
5:10
there was his opportunity
5:11
to win the big game,
5:13
and they had it right there
5:14
in their hands.
5:16
They could have played a
5:17
little safer at the end
5:18
because Drew Aller was not
5:19
having the best game last night.
5:21
they could have methodically
5:22
tried to move the ball down.
5:23
If it didn't work, just go to overtime.
5:26
Um,
5:27
because I think that their team had way
5:30
more depth and they could
5:31
have wore Notre Dame out in
5:32
order to overtime, but we'll never know.
5:35
Cause we never got there.
5:36
Congratulations to the fighting Irish.
5:39
uh for going on uh my best
5:42
friend in the world is a
5:44
notre dame fan so yeah so
5:47
that adds salt to my wound
5:50
as his team wins my team's
5:51
going home and then I
5:54
learned this morning that
5:55
abdul carter is declaring
5:56
for the draft which he
5:57
should uh because he's
5:59
probably the best defensive
6:00
player in the country and
6:01
he showed that again last
6:03
night and he'll be a top
6:04
five pick in the nfl
6:06
Um,
6:07
but he declared this morning that he is
6:09
going into the NFL draft.
6:11
Now there's been some
6:12
speculation about drew Aller,
6:13
the quarterback at Penn state.
6:15
He said he was coming back
6:16
for a senior year.
6:18
Now there's been some
6:18
speculation that due to his arm strength,
6:20
his size,
6:22
that he would be a first round
6:23
draft pick.
6:24
And there's some speculation.
6:25
Maybe he is going to go back
6:26
on that word and declare for the draft.
6:30
But nothing from his camp on that at all.
6:32
That's just been kind of
6:33
outside speculation.
6:35
But we'll wait to hear if he
6:37
returns for a senior season,
6:38
which would put Penn State
6:39
in a pretty good spot,
6:41
or if he's going to declare
6:42
for the draft.
6:45
So there's that.
6:46
We also have plenty,
6:48
plenty of football this weekend.
6:49
Oh my gosh.
6:51
We have Ohio State,
6:52
Texas tonight to see who's
6:54
going to face Notre Dame in
6:56
the national championship
6:57
game here in Columbus.
6:59
Now I will root against Ohio
7:01
State as I don't want to
7:02
hear them talk about it.
7:04
So I'm going to root for
7:05
Texas hard tonight,
7:06
which means Ohio State will probably win.
7:11
What's up, Jody?
7:12
We got Jody.
7:12
We got Judy.
7:13
We got Bruce.
7:14
We got Lex, man.
7:16
People rolling in here.
7:18
Um, but yeah, then this weekend we have,
7:21
uh,
7:22
Houston versus the chargers to start
7:24
off the NFL weekend.
7:26
We have, uh, Pittsburgh, Baltimore,
7:28
the primetime night game, uh,
7:30
tomorrow night, uh,
7:33
in Baltimore on prime.
7:35
Then Sunday slate is Buffalo, Denver,
7:38
Philadelphia,
7:39
green Bay and Tampa Bay and Washington.
7:42
And then we finish out, uh,
7:44
the first round of the playoffs with, um,
7:49
the Rams and Minnesota,
7:51
which that game has been
7:53
moved from LA to Arizona to
7:57
the stadium where the Cardinals play.
7:59
And it's really,
8:00
they said on get up this
8:01
morning based on first
8:03
responders to put on an NFL game,
8:05
you need about one hundred
8:06
and fifty first responders at the game.
8:09
And in LA,
8:10
they just need to be other places.
8:13
And so for that,
8:14
they have moved the game to
8:16
Arizona to play the game there.
8:19
so um clock you are dead on
8:23
uh what a crazy playoffs or
8:24
gets oregon gets routed
8:26
notre dame beats georgia
8:27
and gets in the title game
8:29
yeah I mean penn state
8:31
dominated notre dame last
8:32
night and just didn't score
8:34
enough points they just
8:35
they just didn't score
8:36
enough points they ran the
8:38
ball at will and still
8:41
could not um close it out
8:43
so freaking frustrated today
8:46
Anyway,
8:47
I don't usually have teams that
8:49
make it that far in anything.
8:51
My Bears have made the
8:52
playoffs like one time in twelve years.
8:56
So I'm not used to any of this stuff.
8:58
And so it hurts when it when it goes bad.
9:04
The twelve year old me
9:05
noticed something today.
9:06
I don't know if anybody else
9:07
has seen this.
9:08
You know,
9:09
when they name the Super Bowl every year,
9:11
it is in Roman numerals.
9:13
Um, has,
9:14
does anybody know what this year's
9:16
super bowl is?
9:23
This is a twelve-year-old me.
9:25
It's super bowl licks.
9:29
Yep, this year,
9:30
the winner of Super Bowl licks.
9:32
That's who we're trying to
9:33
figure out this year.
9:36
So that struck me as really
9:39
funny this morning for some reason,
9:41
and I just wanted to share
9:42
it with you all.
9:43
So, yeah, Super Bowl licks.
9:47
Let's go.
9:48
Okay.
9:53
I do have one little
9:54
CrossFit thing I want to talk about.
9:55
Well, first of all,
9:57
CrossFit did announce that
9:58
they have put together
9:59
their athlete council.
10:01
I'm going to save the
10:02
details on that for Sunday night,
10:04
but they have announced who
10:05
those people are.
10:07
We'll go through the list of names,
10:09
who made the list,
10:10
who's there representing
10:12
the athletes on the
10:14
CrossFit athlete council,
10:16
and we'll get into more
10:17
detail on that on Sunday night.
10:20
But all week I've been
10:21
thinking about this
10:23
CrossFit Games season and
10:26
how confusing it is to try
10:27
to explain to people.
10:29
And so I'm just going to do
10:31
a little mini riff today.
10:34
I think as I sit back and
10:36
just kind of... As I sit
10:39
back and think about the
10:40
season as a whole,
10:43
the window or the target for athletes...
10:48
to make it to the games this
10:50
year seems to be like
10:54
getting to be like the eye of a needle.
10:56
Like if we want to go
10:57
biblical or a key hole,
10:59
like it just keeps
11:00
shrinking and shrinking and shrinking.
11:03
There is a really good
11:05
possibility that your
11:07
favorite CrossFit athlete
11:10
or someone's favorite
11:11
CrossFit athlete fan
11:12
favorite is not going to make the games.
11:16
When you've reduced the
11:18
online qualifier to twelve
11:21
people and you know there
11:24
are people out there doctoring videos,
11:27
cheating,
11:29
and we're not going to catch them all,
11:31
something's going to happen.
11:34
And then all of these
11:36
in-person semifinals allow
11:39
two or one person in.
11:43
I mean...
11:45
Let's take Dallin Pepper, for instance,
11:46
right?
11:47
Say he goes to Syndicate Crown.
11:50
Jeff Adler wins.
11:52
Roman Krennikoff comes in second.
11:55
Dallin Pepper comes in third.
11:56
Jason Hopper comes in fourth.
11:59
There's a good chance one of
12:00
those are not getting an
12:01
invite to the games from that event.
12:08
Unless they all or half get...
12:13
in on the online which is
12:14
worldwide now worldwide
12:18
which Europe seems to
12:19
dominate the online version
12:22
of the open and we don't
12:26
have quarterfinals to up
12:27
the intensity and and sort
12:31
some things out you're just
12:33
going open to online
12:34
semifinal man it's going to
12:36
be it's going to be tight
12:40
these windows are small
12:43
And I just,
12:43
I have a really good feeling
12:46
that at the end of the day,
12:48
we're going to have people
12:49
that we really want to see
12:50
at the games and they're
12:52
not going to make it.
12:57
And it seems like the people
12:59
not doing the games is
13:02
becoming smaller and
13:03
smaller than maybe we initially thought.
13:07
So I just think that
13:14
One, it's so hard to explain.
13:17
It's so hard to explain that
13:18
there are these multiple
13:20
ways to make it to the CrossFit Games,
13:22
either through online or in-person,
13:24
and you've got ten in-person events,
13:26
and some of them allow two
13:28
and some of them allow one,
13:29
and the online allows
13:30
twelve if we're not
13:31
announcing any new ones.
13:35
it just seems so messed up
13:38
and confusing to try to
13:40
explain to people.
13:41
And I think we're going to
13:42
miss some of the people
13:43
that deserve to be there
13:45
for sure this year.
13:49
O'Clock,
13:50
nobody else has really mentioned
13:52
they're not going to the games.
13:53
I've only heard Emma Tall,
13:55
and that was a probably.
13:57
I've heard Emma McQuaid.
14:01
I don't think Luka Djokic is going,
14:03
although, yeah, I don't think he's going.
14:06
So I just think it's like a
14:07
handful of people at this point.
14:09
I don't... But we'll find out.
14:13
Like,
14:13
the Open's going to be a month away here.
14:15
So we're going to find out
14:16
who's there and who's not.
14:18
So...
14:24
Judy Reed also,
14:25
who gets to go to which online event?
14:27
Is there an invite or a
14:28
qualification process?
14:30
I think all that is up to
14:31
that third party.
14:32
And that's, what's crazy.
14:34
Like if you listen to the spin,
14:36
they had the organizers of NorCal on,
14:39
and they said that they do
14:41
have the right to just
14:42
invite people to their competition,
14:44
but their qualifiers are
14:45
going on right now.
14:47
And they were just announced.
14:49
So if you want to qualify for their event,
14:53
And you weren't working out
14:54
like good luck.
15:00
Bruce,
15:01
I don't think there's going to be
15:01
many spots for up-and-comers.
15:03
I think that it's going to
15:05
be the same people that
15:06
we've always seen.
15:08
I think there's going to be
15:09
a handful of people that
15:09
don't do it who have made
15:11
their money or who don't
15:14
need to make more money or
15:15
want to do it a different
15:16
way or that they just
15:19
firmly believe that
15:20
CrossFit was wrong in
15:21
something that they did.
15:24
But I don't think the number
15:25
is going to be as big as we thought.
15:29
Or that some thought.
15:31
I think it's just going to
15:32
be a handful of people.
15:37
And some of the people that
15:37
have announced they're not
15:38
going weren't there last
15:39
year or... Have not been
15:43
competitive in the space
15:44
for a couple years,
15:45
so I don't even know what
15:46
effect it would have.
15:49
But yeah, I...
15:52
the fact that like syndicate
15:54
crown and TFX are going to
15:55
be like regionals,
15:57
like we had last year where
15:59
it's map based, what,
16:01
who gets in and who gets, who doesn't.
16:03
And, and Africa is that way,
16:05
but yet other events are worldwide.
16:08
So anybody in the world can
16:09
sign up for and go to, um,
16:13
there's just no consistency to this.
16:15
It's just the wild West as
16:17
to how you're going to get in or not.
16:19
And we, and like I said,
16:21
like people are going to
16:23
get invites to some, uh,
16:25
not have to do the qualifier.
16:26
Some have to do the qualifier.
16:28
Some places it's all qualifier.
16:31
Um,
16:33
There's speculation that
16:34
Mayhem is going to be partially invite.
16:38
I also heard they're going
16:39
to use the Open as their
16:41
qualifier and not do an
16:44
additional qualifier.
16:46
Rich stated he does not like
16:48
doing additional qualifiers
16:49
and adding that to the
16:50
plate of the athletes
16:52
during the competition season.
16:56
And then you have like Australia,
16:58
the Torian doing the Open
17:01
plus one additional week.
17:05
So they're using the open,
17:06
but they're adding a week
17:07
of their own workouts to
17:09
that to add on to the qualifier.
17:12
So everybody's doing it different,
17:15
and it's so confusing.
17:17
And I really do think at the
17:18
end of the day,
17:20
we're going to miss out on
17:21
some of the big names who
17:23
just didn't qualify,
17:26
didn't hit the right –
17:29
there's going to be strategy
17:30
involved in like where you
17:32
go to qualify who your competition is, uh,
17:35
because there's going to be
17:36
some competitions where
17:38
there's only two spots and
17:39
five great athletes.
17:41
Um, so it's going to, it's just, yeah,
17:47
I don't know.
17:53
Who knows?
17:54
I don't know anymore.
17:57
So, uh,
17:59
There's that.
18:00
That's my little mini riff
18:01
for a Friday as we go into the weekend.
18:06
No, Bruce.
18:07
The Open should never be a
18:09
direct qualifier to the CrossFit Games,
18:11
in my opinion.
18:12
Never a direct qualifier to the... No.
18:17
No.
18:18
I think we were close the last two years.
18:25
But I've never been a believer in...
18:30
Worldwide inclusion.
18:33
I think it should be the best.
18:35
Thirty or forty athletes,
18:37
whatever you pick the number to be.
18:40
Get to come play at the CrossFit Games.
18:49
I think that you.
18:52
use other ways to develop in
18:54
countries to get people to
18:56
get better and better.
18:59
Doesn't mean that they can't
19:00
have competitions there or
19:02
because Asia has gotten better.
19:05
Chung Young Choi, Juwan Young, they have,
19:12
they have gotten better and
19:14
better and deserve to be at
19:15
the CrossFit Games.
19:17
Uh, but just to like,
19:19
say Africa gets a spot
19:21
because we want to include
19:22
all the continents just
19:24
seems crazy to me.
19:26
Um, it should be the best.
19:29
Thirty or forty athletes and
19:30
when you bring the best
19:31
thirty or forty athletes
19:32
and all the heats matter.
19:34
Um, when you do the inclusion part,
19:37
that last heat or the first heat,
19:39
whatever you want to call it,
19:41
sometimes doesn't matter
19:42
because they cannot be
19:43
competitive with the rest of the field.
19:46
And so nobody watches it.
19:48
Uh,
19:48
it doesn't have any effect on the
19:50
scoreboard.
19:51
Um, but that's, that's my rant for that.
19:56
I, I just,
19:57
I've always been a believer that
19:59
let's bring the,
20:00
let's bring the best thirty or forty,
20:02
whatever number you want it to be.
20:04
I like forty.
20:06
Um,
20:07
This year they're going down to thirty.
20:09
But if you brought the best forty athletes,
20:12
you would see a different
20:13
competition because more
20:15
relevancy would happen
20:16
throughout the field as
20:18
opposed to having to
20:20
include people from every
20:22
different spot around the world.
20:28
So there is that.
20:35
The last two things are
20:36
going to be non-CrossFit.
20:38
This is something I'm going
20:39
to try for a Friday.
20:40
I'm going to do every Friday.
20:42
For people who don't know,
20:43
I collect vinyl records,
20:47
old school records and record players.
20:51
I play them all the time.
20:53
I love music.
20:54
I love it a lot.
20:55
And so what I did is I
20:56
grabbed a couple albums out
20:57
of my collection.
20:59
And today I grabbed my
21:01
favorite album of all time,
21:03
My favorite albums, there's two of them,
21:05
the one I was in high school,
21:07
and then my favorite album
21:09
that is out today.
21:11
And just going to share that
21:11
with you guys and see what you think.
21:15
And if you like it, we'll keep trying it.
21:18
So my favorite album of all time,
21:21
number one on my list forever is this one,
21:26
Van Halen I.
21:29
This was the first album
21:30
that Van Halen put out back
21:32
in nineteen seventy eight, I believe.
21:35
But I did not discover this
21:37
till I went to college.
21:39
When that album came out,
21:40
I was eight years old and
21:43
my my family didn't listen
21:44
to a lot of music at the house.
21:47
So I
21:48
learn music from going to
21:50
school and people that I
21:51
heard it from there I
21:52
didn't really discover van
21:54
halen until uh they did
21:56
diver down in nineteen
21:57
eighty four uh with
21:59
nineteen four had jump on
22:00
it their most popular song
22:01
of all time even though I
22:03
would consider it one of
22:04
their worst songs of all
22:05
time uh but this one I went
22:08
my college roommate when I
22:09
first walked in the door
22:10
was playing it and um
22:14
And when Running With The Devil came on,
22:17
I had never heard a sound
22:19
like that in my life.
22:21
And because of that,
22:23
I fell in love with Eddie
22:24
Van Halen because I
22:26
listened to Running With The Devil.
22:27
I listened to Eruption.
22:29
I listened to The Ice Cream Man.
22:33
Ain't Talking About Love,
22:36
Feel Your Love Tonight.
22:38
This song,
22:38
every song on that album is a banger.
22:42
It is cover to cover.
22:44
Put it on.
22:45
Let it wash over you.
22:47
You don't have to take it off.
22:49
It is banger cover to cover.
22:53
So then my high school favorites,
22:56
this one is a little bit obscure.
22:58
And I had to get an original
23:00
copy of this on record
23:02
because they have never reprinted it.
23:04
Like Van Halen one,
23:05
that's a reprint on a much heavier vinyl,
23:09
so it doesn't warp.
23:10
But this is Survivor Vital Signs.
23:15
And most people know
23:18
Survivor for Eye of the Tiger.
23:21
That song is not on this album.
23:24
The band actually broke up
23:26
after Eye of the Tiger,
23:27
got rid of their lead singer,
23:29
and they hired a guy named
23:32
Jimmy Jameson who did this album.
23:35
And this album has High on You,
23:38
I Can't Hold Back.
23:40
Those are kind of the
23:41
popular songs on this album.
23:44
I've seen them in concert
23:45
with this singer.
23:47
He's also known he did the
23:48
actual theme song to Baywatch.
23:50
the singer jimmy jameson so
23:52
if you've ever watched
23:53
baywatch um the theme song
23:56
was done by survivor and
23:58
him um but this is a great
24:01
great album it's a little
24:02
more poppy than eye of the tiger um
24:07
And I love it.
24:08
When I found this in an old record store,
24:10
I lost my mind because this
24:12
is an original pressing
24:14
from like nineteen eighty two.
24:17
Eighty four, maybe.
24:19
But it's great.
24:20
It's great.
24:20
I've seen him in concert.
24:22
This is great.
24:23
Jimmy Jamison has since passed.
24:29
But this was this was one of
24:30
my favorite albums.
24:31
I almost wore out the
24:32
cassette when I had it back
24:34
back in the day.
24:39
um clock I took you for
24:40
depeche mode and tears for
24:41
fears I actually was a
24:43
massive depeche mode fan
24:44
dude when I was in high
24:46
school um beginning of
24:48
college I really got into
24:50
depeche mode um I was never
24:52
a big tears for fears guy
24:54
but a depeche mode erasure
24:57
um rem and I like all kinds
25:01
of music so um I'm open to
25:03
all that but uh but yeah
25:08
And this, this is actually,
25:08
this one actually leans
25:10
more in that direction.
25:12
This is my other favorite album.
25:14
And this was like ladder
25:15
later in my high school career,
25:17
my high school days.
25:20
And it was, um, yes, nine Oh one, two,
25:23
five.
25:26
And this one is the big song
25:28
off of this is owner of a lonely heart.
25:32
They also have leave it,
25:35
which was a big MTV hit back in the day.
25:38
They had they made like
25:39
thirty different videos.
25:44
like,
25:45
thirty different videos for that one song,
25:47
and they were all different,
25:48
and they played them throughout MTV,
25:50
the different versions all day.
25:53
But yes, Night at One Two Five, again,
25:56
when I had the cassette,
25:57
I played it all day long
26:00
out in my boombox while I
26:01
was doing work in the yard.
26:04
I think my dad was so sick of this album.
26:07
He probably wanted to rip the tape apart,
26:09
but I listened to it all the time.
26:15
Jody Lynn, a Depeche Mode fan as well.
26:17
Yeah, I saw Depeche Mode in concerts.
26:22
I think twice.
26:26
I think twice.
26:27
One of them,
26:28
I got a free ticket because
26:31
there's a group of girls
26:32
who did not want to drive
26:33
in downtown Pittsburgh.
26:34
And so they gave me a free
26:35
ticket to go to the concert
26:36
and drive them there.
26:39
They were awesome.
26:41
does get a little bit like
26:43
they are kind of the same
26:45
throughout everything they
26:46
do but I really enjoy them
26:48
and they were big in the
26:49
dance clubs even when I was
26:51
in college bouncing they
26:54
got played quite a bit so
26:59
my favorite album that is
27:00
out today I just got this
27:03
for my birthday it is
27:08
Teddy swims.
27:10
I tried everything but therapy.
27:14
Um,
27:16
the thing about this album is for the
27:20
first time,
27:24
first time I bought music
27:26
where I put it on.
27:28
And usually when I put a record on,
27:29
I'm doing something else.
27:31
I'm putting together Legos.
27:33
I'm working on show ideas.
27:35
I'm making backgrounds.
27:37
I'm doing whatever I need to do.
27:39
This one is so good.
27:41
So good that I just sat in my chair,
27:44
closed my eyes and let it
27:46
just kind of wash over me.
27:50
It is by far one of the best
27:52
albums in the last ten years.
27:56
And what's cool is it
27:57
actually comes on a baby blue.
27:59
I don't know if you can see it.
28:01
A baby blue vinyl.
28:04
That's the new shtick in
28:06
records is they change the
28:08
color of the vinyls.
28:11
But it's baby blue.
28:14
And there was not a song on here.
28:15
I didn't like, uh, from cover to cover,
28:19
just really like his raspy soulful voice.
28:24
And, um, it's, it's just classic.
28:28
It has, it, it,
28:32
it has that classic sound
28:34
that just never dies, right?
28:36
Like you can,
28:38
and his voice is so freaking good, man.
28:41
I, uh,
28:46
Yeah.
28:48
Teddy Swims is pretty good.
28:50
James W., Teddy Swims is so good.
28:52
The Door is the best song
28:54
I've heard in ages.
28:55
Yeah,
28:56
what you would probably know off of
28:57
this...
29:08
Maybe The Door and What More Can I Say,
29:13
Lose Control, Some Things I Never Know.
29:15
Those are great, great albums.
29:17
But if you're looking for
29:21
just a great classic album
29:23
that's out today, this dude is it, man,
29:26
Teddy Swims.
29:27
And he just announced that
29:28
him and his wife are about to give birth.
29:32
So congratulations to Teddy Swim.
29:40
so Jody, uh, Teddy swims is actually, um,
29:43
a guy, uh, not a group,
29:45
but he is so good.
29:46
So good.
29:47
Um, if you have Spotify,
29:49
go check them out.
29:51
He just has that really classic.
29:56
I don't know.
29:56
It's, it's good.
29:57
Just that it reminds me of
30:00
like a modern version of
30:01
Ray Charles or a modern
30:03
version of like those
30:04
classic singers that were
30:06
just really good.
30:08
Um,
30:10
I don't know.
30:11
Check it out.
30:12
I know music is,
30:14
everybody has different tastes,
30:15
but he's so good.
30:17
And definitely by far the
30:19
best album I've heard in ten years.
30:21
So favorite all time Van
30:23
Halen one favorite of now Teddy swims.
30:26
And in my favorite in high school, a yes,
30:28
not a one to five and
30:29
survivor vital signs, all great stuff.
30:33
And I'll pick out some other
30:34
stuff every week and kind of share, uh,
30:37
what's going on in the
30:38
vinyl world and what I collect.
30:41
And maybe that helps you
30:42
learn a little bit more about me.
30:46
The last thing I have is
30:50
Landman season finale is
30:51
this Sunday and I could not be happier.
30:59
Uh, Jay Burch says,
31:00
I have a Spotify playlist
31:02
called swagger that has a lot of genre,
31:04
that genre of music.
31:06
Very cool.
31:08
Yeah.
31:08
I have one that I just have
31:09
an eclectic mix of like bizarre stuff.
31:13
Um, the Teddy swims would go on and, uh,
31:20
like Nathaniel Ratliff and
31:22
the night sweats.
31:23
Like that guy is, is awesome.
31:25
Um, I'm trying to think Anderson East.
31:30
Uh, he's on that list with me.
31:32
Um, I don't know.
31:36
I'd have to pull it up, but, uh, yeah,
31:40
a little bit of a brain fart today,
31:42
but yeah, that that's, that's awesome.
31:44
So, um,
31:46
Maybe I'll share some
31:46
playlists too because I do
31:48
have a Spotify account and
31:49
I can make them public and
31:50
we can share stuff like that.
31:53
Final thing is Landman is
31:55
coming to an end for this
31:56
season this Sunday night.
31:59
I have been so addicted to this show.
32:01
Yeah, Bishop Brooks is good.
32:03
I'm trying to think of the other guy.
32:08
There's one guy I have in my head.
32:09
I just can't come up with his name.
32:13
So...
32:17
what, what the, what,
32:19
what's fascinating about
32:19
this show is the character
32:21
development is so good and
32:23
they have developed so many
32:24
good characters.
32:25
My only,
32:26
my only beef with the show is that
32:30
you have Demi Moore, this,
32:31
this highly acclaimed
32:33
actress in this show.
32:35
And she shows up for maybe
32:37
three minutes in the first nine episodes.
32:40
Um, and so you've,
32:42
now they're developing her as a character,
32:44
but you barely, barely know her.
32:46
Um,
32:47
the son of Billy Bob Thornton is so good.
32:51
And yet he only gets little,
32:53
little smatterings throughout the season.
32:57
They do this amazing job
32:59
developing characters,
33:00
but there's just not enough
33:01
time in the show to kind of
33:05
meet them all.
33:06
They've,
33:06
they introduced a lawyer that is
33:08
now apparently going to
33:09
play in a very integral
33:11
role moving forward,
33:12
but she hasn't been on an episode in two,
33:14
two episodes.
33:15
Like,
33:18
But it is so good,
33:19
and it has become so popular.
33:22
I'm hoping that it gets a
33:23
season two that has not
33:24
been formally announced,
33:25
but it is getting ratings
33:28
in the Yellowstone area.
33:29
So I'm hoping that they do
33:32
renew that for another year.
33:36
But if you have not watched
33:37
Landman Ketchup and season
33:39
finale this Sunday,
33:41
definitely well worth your
33:43
time on Paramount+.
33:44
So stoked for that.
33:51
Oh my gosh, Jody, Jody.
33:55
I can't stand that son character.
33:56
What a wimp.
33:58
Are you all the way through episode nine?
34:11
Because he pulls a couple
34:11
things in the last few
34:13
episodes that I would say
34:16
are not wimpish.
34:18
But
34:22
Now I'm curious to know what
34:24
qualities Jody thinks are wimpish,
34:27
because the last couple episodes,
34:30
he's been really strong.
34:38
Thank you, Jay Birch.
34:43
You think he was wimpish the
34:44
way he took on that attorney?
34:49
And then...
34:50
he took he took a whooping
34:53
for that woman and he was
34:58
completely outnumbered four
34:59
to one okay jody okay all
35:08
right we'll see uh the
35:11
other the other thing I
35:12
wanted to bring up is um
35:14
I'm thinking about on every
35:15
tuesday doing a top five tuesday
35:19
and just putting it out to
35:20
you guys whatever you want
35:22
that top five to be whether
35:24
it's um I know like people
35:29
have sent me messages that
35:31
they want to bring back the
35:33
arnold top arnold
35:34
schwarzenegger top five um
35:36
things like that it can be
35:39
actor movies it can be movies up
35:43
whatever genre it can be TV shows,
35:46
it can be music, it can be whatever.
35:48
Uh, but I,
35:49
I figured every Tuesday we would
35:51
collectively do a top five
35:53
Tuesday and just kind of talk about that.
35:56
And, uh, uh, and
36:02
do what we need to do there.
36:03
So if you have an idea for a top five,
36:06
we'll do those every
36:07
Tuesday and I'll try to
36:08
bring on a guest for those
36:10
where we can debate back
36:12
and forth different ideas
36:14
for the top five.
36:18
So Jay says, yes, you're right.
36:20
He did fudge up that attorney.
36:22
He really did.
36:24
He really did.
36:26
And I actually love the end
36:28
of the episode nine as he's
36:31
moving forward with his plans.
36:35
I think that's pretty cool
36:36
what he has in store.
36:39
We'll see if he runs up
36:41
against anything in the process,
36:43
but yeah.
36:46
So every Tuesday we'll do a top five.
36:49
You guys kind of pick the topics.
36:51
I'll try to come up with some as well.
36:53
And I'll try to bring in
36:55
some guests every Tuesday
36:57
afternoon to do a top five.
36:59
And with that, that's all I got for today.
37:02
Don't forget to tune in
37:04
Sunday night for a Sunday
37:06
night CrossFit talk.
37:07
We've got a lot to talk about.
37:08
We're going to talk about
37:09
the NorCal CrossFit being
37:11
added to the slate of
37:13
events this late in the season.
37:16
We're going to talk about
37:17
the effect that that has on the athletes,
37:19
the effect that has on the season.
37:21
We're going to talk about
37:23
the athlete council that
37:24
was just named yesterday.
37:27
Probably going to talk WFP.
37:30
We're probably,
37:31
you know,
37:31
whatever else comes up in the
37:33
CrossFit space,
37:34
we'll be talking about it in depth.
37:39
Yeah.
37:40
And anything else we can think of.
37:41
So don't forget to tune in to Carolyn,
37:43
Jamie and myself Sunday night for that.
37:46
And yesterday Kat and I were
37:47
talking about hairstyles
37:50
and we're going to next
37:51
week do a top five on the
37:53
round table of best and
37:55
worst hairdos in the CrossFit space.
37:59
So we're already starting to
38:01
put that together and we
38:03
will do that next Thursday.
38:06
Till then,
38:07
tune in Sunday night and then
38:09
every weekday.
38:10
Other than that, we will.
38:14
Wait,
38:15
watch Landman or listen to the podcast.
38:17
Actually,
38:19
Landman comes on before our podcast.
38:22
I've been able to watch it.
38:23
They release it earlier in the day, Jody.
38:27
So you don't even have to pick.
38:29
Just saying.
38:32
Just saying.
38:35
With that, guys,
38:36
hope you have a great weekend.
38:38
We have a winter weather
38:38
advisory in Columbus for
38:41
the next twenty four hours or so.
38:43
So we are going to batten down the hatches,
38:45
which is cool because I'm
38:46
just being the caretaker to my wife and.
38:51
And with that,
38:51
we will check you guys all
38:54
out Sunday night and then all next week.
38:58
Bye, guys.
38:58
Have a great, fabulous weekend.
