- 1:44I'm free as the fourth of July.

- 1:52going on um so we're just
- 1:54gonna talk through some
- 1:55stuff and uh as as what

- 2:05whether it's going to be a
- 2:05sunday show or going to be
- 2:06a lunch show or whatever's
- 2:08going on and I take these
- 2:10notes down so I have them
- 2:12and then I run down here to
- 2:13do the podcast and I forget
- 2:15them sit in the notes are on my desk
- 2:18then I tried to like
- 2:19remember everything I wrote
- 2:20down and I scratch it down
- 2:22on a piece of paper here
- 2:23hoping to catch everything
- 2:25uh that I wanted to talk
- 2:26about because not only is
- 2:28it lunch with the
- 2:28clydesdale it's also
- 2:30laundry with the clydesdale
- 2:32My washer and dryer is just
- 2:34in front of me over there.
- 2:36And this is my time to come
- 2:38down and flip laundry.
- 2:40Flip it from the washer to the dryer,
- 2:41put a new load in.
- 2:44As my wife is still
- 2:45recovering from her knee surgery.
- 2:47But the good news is, the good news is,
- 2:50my wife has ditched the cane.
- 2:52She is without a cane.
- 2:54She has been with a cane since probably...
- 2:59six to eight months before the surgery.
- 3:02And so now for the first
- 3:04time she is walking around cane free,
- 3:09which is a huge win for us.
- 3:12Huge win for her, um,
- 3:14that she is able to do that now.
- 3:17Um,
- 3:19I'm thinking like we went up
- 3:21to a beach competition in
- 3:23michigan with jamie and she
- 3:25was on the cane then um so
- 3:27man that's yeah it's been a
- 3:28while that was last summer
- 3:30um so yeah we are moving
- 3:34well in advance now um the
- 3:37other thing is yesterday we
- 3:38found out uh that my
- 3:40daughter got a job offer
- 3:43To be a fashion photographer
- 3:45for a company in Montana.
- 3:48She got the offer yesterday.
- 3:50So within the next month,
- 3:51she is moving from Pittsburgh,
- 3:53Pennsylvania to Great Falls, Montana.
- 3:58And I will have to be
- 4:01packing up and taking her up there.
- 4:03And I'm going to be driving
- 4:03with her the twenty five
- 4:05hours to get there.
- 4:07from here to there and
- 4:09getting her settled in
- 4:09Montana to take on her new job.
- 4:14It is her dream job.
- 4:15She has always wanted to be
- 4:17a fashion photographer.
- 4:18In college,
- 4:19she was the photo editor of the
- 4:21fashion magazine.
- 4:23um and that has been her
- 4:24dream and so she will be
- 4:26doing the apparel um and
- 4:28the footwear uh for this
- 4:31company uh doing all the
- 4:33fashion photography for
- 4:34that for the catalogs for
- 4:35all of that and she will be
- 4:37over the social media
- 4:38aspect of all of that those
- 4:40are the two things that are
- 4:41her dream jobs um she also
- 4:43has a degree in social media
- 4:46so, uh,
- 4:47she is super excited and
- 4:49overwhelmed and scared and
- 4:52all of that because it is a big move.
- 4:54Um, it's pretty far away from us.
- 4:57Um, but it's,
- 4:58it's a way for her to gain
- 4:59her independence.
- 5:00It's a way for her to build
- 5:01up her resume in a way that, uh,
- 5:05that makes her so much more
- 5:07a viable candidate for other, um,
- 5:10companies doing the same thing.
- 5:12Uh, I'm so proud of her.
- 5:14Um, and I've never been to Montana,
- 5:15so this will be my first
- 5:17time in Montana as we drive up there, um,
- 5:21and within the month.
- 5:23And so I'm hoping,
- 5:24I'm hoping to take some
- 5:26kind of a iPad or phone to
- 5:29do some shows from the road
- 5:32as we head up to Montana.
- 5:34Um,
- 5:36So, yeah.
- 5:38So I think we're going to
- 5:39try to make a little fun trip out of it,
- 5:41but we'll see how that goes.
- 5:43Can't wait.
- 5:45Good news all around.
- 5:47So the first thing I wanted
- 5:48to talk to you guys about
- 5:49is today is opening day for
- 5:51Major League Baseball.
- 5:52Now,
- 5:53there was a couple games in Japan last
- 5:57week, I think it was.
- 5:58Dodgers and Cubs.
- 6:01There were two games in Japan.
- 6:03But today is the official opening day.
- 6:06My Pittsburgh Pirates take
- 6:08the mound against the Florida Marlins.
- 6:11And Paul Skeens is...
- 6:16Paul Skeens has taken the
- 6:16mound the great LSU hope
- 6:20for the Pirates so I cannot
- 6:22wait for that but I know a
- 6:25lot of people like baseball
- 6:26is falling out
- 6:29And so I pose to you,
- 6:32do you care that baseball's
- 6:34opening day is today?
- 6:35It used to be like almost a
- 6:37national holiday when I was a kid.
- 6:40My buddies and I would
- 6:41always go the second day of
- 6:42the season to see the
- 6:43Pittsburgh Pirates play
- 6:45because it was so hard to
- 6:46get a ticket on opening day,
- 6:47but it was really easy on the second day.
- 6:50and then we would go and
- 6:51then um this is when we
- 6:53were in high school then we
- 6:54would hang out down by the
- 6:55locker room get autographs
- 6:57um as from the players as
- 6:58they came out of the locker
- 6:59room and we made a whole
- 7:01like day of it but I see
- 7:04andrew stenn says
- 7:07People care about opening
- 7:08day in Cincinnati.
- 7:09It's an unofficial holiday
- 7:10here for the first
- 7:11professional baseball team.
- 7:12Baseball doesn't start until
- 7:14the Reds play.
- 7:15And that used to be the
- 7:16tradition that the Reds
- 7:17opened up the season every
- 7:19single year with like a
- 7:21noon game with a noon game
- 7:24to start the season.
- 7:26So I know in Cincinnati,
- 7:29they take it pretty seriously.
- 7:33um and andrew goes on to
- 7:35brag about his cincinnati
- 7:36reds that no team does
- 7:37opening day like the reds I
- 7:42j birch I love to play
- 7:43baseball hate to watch
- 7:43baseball so opening day has
- 7:45no bearing on me
- 7:47I will say this.
- 7:48I love watching live baseball.
- 7:50There's nothing like getting
- 7:52a hot dog at a stadium, maybe some nachos,
- 7:54maybe some popcorn.
- 7:56It's something I did with my
- 7:57dad a bunch as a kid,
- 7:58and so maybe it's just the memory for me.
- 8:01But my wife and I,
- 8:02we've done that on our anniversary.
- 8:04And we have a AAA team here in Columbus,
- 8:06so we even go down and watch them.
- 8:08But I will say the pitch
- 8:10clock may have saved baseball for me.
- 8:15having the pitch clock
- 8:17speeds up the game enough
- 8:19that makes it much more
- 8:21watchable because I think
- 8:23the game had slowed down
- 8:24with all of the antics,
- 8:27even since I was a kid,
- 8:28and it made it much more watchable.
- 8:33So the games go much faster now.
- 8:40Holly's brother took the day off.
- 8:44um major league baseball has
- 8:46no interest for me lsu
- 8:47baseball near the hand
- 8:49that's some good stuff um
- 8:53jay birch says in in a
- 8:54stadium maybe uh and holly
- 9:00finished up nephew and
- 9:02maybe his nephew and and
- 9:05her nephew also took the day off uh
- 9:11Jay Burch says,
- 9:11I did sit outside a Rangers
- 9:13game in Arlington and had a good time.
- 9:16So you were in the parking
- 9:17lot just partying it up, Jay Burch?
- 9:23Yeah, I'm excited for it.
- 9:25And it also kind of signals
- 9:26like the first day of spring, right?
- 9:28That we're kind of getting
- 9:31closer and closer to
- 9:32something that's better weather.
- 9:35Like I took my dog for a
- 9:37walk today and it wasn't
- 9:41really chilly today.
- 9:42It actually is starting to
- 9:43warm up where it was a
- 9:46pretty pleasant walk.
- 9:51Um, Andrew says, Corey, whoops,
- 9:54you live somewhere where
- 9:55there are no professional sports teams.
- 9:57So college is where it's at.
- 9:59I don't count the saints or
- 10:00Pelicans as pro.
- 10:01Yeah.
- 10:02Uh, but Andrew,
- 10:06the saints have won more
- 10:07super bowls than the Bengals.
- 10:08So your argument there
- 10:10doesn't really hold a lot of water.
- 10:18Um,
- 10:20But I can see what Corey's saying.
- 10:21I lived in Tallahassee for four years.
- 10:23Florida State baseball was huge.
- 10:26They were always in the
- 10:27College World Series back then.
- 10:29They had people like J.D.
- 10:31Drew back there at the time.
- 10:33And we would go watch
- 10:35Florida State baseball all the time.
- 10:36And it was a cheap ticket,
- 10:37like five bucks.
- 10:39You would go in.
- 10:40It's Florida, so the weather's beautiful.
- 10:42You're sitting underneath
- 10:43the palm trees in the
- 10:44stands watching college baseball.
- 10:48It was a good time.
- 10:50We had a blast doing that.
- 10:54So I just wanted to get your impressions.
- 11:06According to nineteen twenty
- 11:07three spring in Montana starts in June.
- 11:10Yeah,
- 11:10that'll be something my daughter will
- 11:12have to get used to.
- 11:14For sure.
- 11:21um aaron says we are in the
- 11:25eighties here in florida
- 11:26yeah when I lived in
- 11:27florida like new year's day
- 11:29it'd be seventies um
- 11:33because that's my birthday
- 11:34I remember being out on the
- 11:35patio like grilling having
- 11:38a beer doing some um home
- 11:42improvement stuff super easy
- 11:51Corey says, the Pelicans are mad.
- 11:52The Saints have fallen off.
- 11:54But while Breeze was here,
- 11:55we had some badass years.
- 11:56You did.
- 12:02Jody says, in Chicago,
- 12:03every high school had ditch
- 12:04day on opening day for the Cubs and Sox.
- 12:07That may still be the case for the Cubs,
- 12:10but the White Sox may have
- 12:11trouble drawing people this year, Jody.
- 12:14Man, they were so bad last year.
- 12:17So bad broke the,
- 12:20the hundred and fifty year,
- 12:22like baseball's running for
- 12:23a hundred and fifty years
- 12:24and nobody lost as many
- 12:25games as a White Sox did last year.
- 12:33Jay Burch is talking to me
- 12:34about all of the national
- 12:35parks in Montana.
- 12:39He talked to me about Glacier,
- 12:40and now he's saying
- 12:41Yellowstone doesn't open until next month,
- 12:43and that is south of Great Falls.
- 12:45Yeah,
- 12:46my daughter is right between the two.
- 12:48So she is smack dab between
- 12:50Glacier and Yellowstone.
- 12:52I think it's three hours in
- 12:54each direction.
- 12:57And those are two places I'd
- 12:58really like to see.
- 12:59I've not seen either.
- 13:01So while she lives out there,
- 13:03I'm going to try to get to
- 13:06both national parks while she's there,
- 13:10for sure.
- 13:14So I keep the comments coming.
- 13:18A couple cleanup items.
- 13:22Jody, White Sox play in the ghetto.
- 13:25Cubs play in Wrigleyville,
- 13:26a very hoity-toity era.
- 13:27Yeah,
- 13:27Wrigleyville has become the major
- 13:30hotspot.
- 13:31One of my judge friends who
- 13:34has worked his way up to
- 13:38head judge and now even
- 13:40above that where he
- 13:42organizes the stuff and
- 13:44works that for the games,
- 13:46he lives in Wrigleyville.
- 13:49is a big Cubs fan, big bears fan.
- 13:52His name's Kevin dude is
- 13:54like one of my best friends
- 13:55in the CrossFit space.
- 13:58And he's invited us out to
- 13:59go to Wrigleyville and to hang out and do,
- 14:02do some games.
- 14:03And so at some point I need
- 14:05to take him up on that offer.
- 14:12um so to clean up a couple
- 14:14things yesterday corey and
- 14:15I were talking about uh den
- 14:17of thieves being such a
- 14:18great movie um and we
- 14:20talked about how the one
- 14:21cop in den of thieves
- 14:23looked like dex hopkins so
- 14:27I am going to show you this
- 14:31picture here on the left is
- 14:33the cop from den of thieves
- 14:35on the right is dex hopkins
- 14:38uh who I like to call daddy diesel um
- 14:43They are like spitting
- 14:44images of each other.
- 14:45They even have like tattoo
- 14:47sleeves in the same spot.
- 14:49And I talked to Dex last night,
- 14:52and he was saying that
- 14:53people have made posts
- 14:55tagging both of them,
- 14:57and they've actually become...
- 14:59They've actually become
- 15:00internet friends over the
- 15:02years because when Dex grew
- 15:04his beard long, so did Kawhi Lyman.
- 15:07So they both had long beards
- 15:09at the same time and long
- 15:12hair at the same time.
- 15:14And so they've actually
- 15:14become internet friends.
- 15:15It was really funny talking
- 15:16to Dex last night.
- 15:18But that's super cool that
- 15:20that's happened.
- 15:20And it was the first thing I
- 15:22thought watching the movie.
- 15:24So I'm going to pose this to you guys.
- 15:27If you know,
- 15:27if you know of any other
- 15:28doppelgangers in the CrossFit space,
- 15:31I would love to do some
- 15:32side-by-sides and talk
- 15:33about that going forward.
- 15:35Cause Corey and I talked
- 15:36about this yesterday and I just,
- 15:38I had to do a side-by-side
- 15:39to show you guys how much
- 15:42they look alike.
- 15:44Um, but it is, it is funny that they're,
- 15:47they're like tattoo slaves
- 15:48run the same arm.
- 15:50Um,
- 15:52They grow their facial hair
- 15:54and head hair at the same times.
- 15:57Because actually in Den of Thieves,
- 15:59Kawhi's hair is like Dex's
- 16:01in this picture.
- 16:02It is shaved down to just a
- 16:05really super short cut.
- 16:07And so he even looks more
- 16:09like Dex in Den of Thieves
- 16:11than they do in these pictures.
- 16:15And even with that,
- 16:16Holly says same picture.
- 16:18Corey Leonard says pretty
- 16:19sure that's the same picture.
- 16:26Aaron says, does Dex coach for Brute?
- 16:28He does.
- 16:30He does.
- 16:32Also found out that he got a
- 16:36media pass for WFP in Indianapolis.
- 16:39So we can hook up with him there,
- 16:41hopefully.
- 16:43And hopefully we can get
- 16:44some content from him.
- 16:49Holly wants to know,
- 16:50has anyone seen the two of
- 16:51them in the same room together?
- 16:53don't know I don't know if
- 16:54it's happened holly I don't
- 16:57know so anyway just think
- 17:02it's funny if you guys know
- 17:03of any other doppelgangers
- 17:04shoot me a dm or shoot me a
- 17:06message on on youtube um
- 17:09I'd love to do some side by
- 17:11sides on more doppelgangers
- 17:13in the crossfit space so anyway
- 17:20cleaning that up from yesterday.
- 17:22And then, uh,
- 17:23we also announced on
- 17:24Instagram yesterday and she
- 17:27was going to try to join the show today,
- 17:29but she's on it.
- 17:30She's in a meeting and then
- 17:31has to take a train back home.
- 17:34Here is our new show coming out, but I,
- 17:39I believe it's coming out next week.
- 17:42Um, but it's,
- 17:43it's all on cat and this is
- 17:45the new show catching feelings pot,
- 17:47the catching feelings podcast.
- 17:50uh,
- 17:50where she's going to talk about back in
- 17:52the dating game, um, after many,
- 17:55many years.
- 17:57Um, but it's going to be more than,
- 17:58I think it's going to
- 17:58evolve into more than that.
- 18:00It's just going to be her
- 18:00talking about her
- 18:01experiences where she's at in life, uh,
- 18:04sharing those with the audience, uh,
- 18:07just having a place where
- 18:08people would come talk
- 18:09about those things.
- 18:10Uh, but it is,
- 18:11I think she's shooting for
- 18:12next Wednesday.
- 18:14Um,
- 18:16As we get more details on that,
- 18:18check our Instagram.
- 18:19We'll...
- 18:22we'll post them up there.
- 18:23So if you're interested in that show, um,
- 18:26initially she was going to
- 18:27do it just a dating show.
- 18:30Um,
- 18:30but I think now it's going to be like a
- 18:33little bit more of just her, where,
- 18:35where she's at in life,
- 18:37the feeling she has right
- 18:38now of through all of that
- 18:40with dating being a major
- 18:42component of it.
- 18:43Um, but, but yeah,
- 18:46so check that out next week, hopefully.
- 18:48And, uh, again,
- 18:49we'll put more information.
- 18:51out onto um instagram as we
- 18:55know more uh corey sending me texts
- 19:21Someone has a doppelganger
- 19:22for Matt Frazier.
- 19:26Wow.
- 19:26Okay.
- 19:27I'm going to have to see that.
- 19:29I'll check that.
- 19:31I'll check that offline.
- 19:37Jody,
- 19:37I love that show she did with the
- 19:39therapist.
- 19:40Yeah, that was really good.
- 19:43Really good.
- 19:45And now you'll know,
- 19:45because Kat's been through her divorce,
- 19:48going through that while
- 19:50she was kind of going
- 19:51through that and that wasn't public yet,
- 19:54that was really tough for her.
- 19:55But she did a great job on that podcast.
- 20:00So yeah.
- 20:02Kat's animated guns are for real.
- 20:04They're pretty big in real life.
- 20:07So I think she's not
- 20:08exaggerating on the animation at all.
- 20:15Um,
- 20:15the last thing I wanted to share is we
- 20:18talked about this a little
- 20:19bit yesterday and that is,
- 20:22I'm going to share yesterday.
- 20:27I w I got a surprise, uh,
- 20:31yesterday afternoon.
- 20:31I had to do a lot of work.
- 20:32So I put on be friendly
- 20:33fitness just to hear what
- 20:35they were saying about, uh,
- 20:37the qualifiers in the WFP
- 20:39and out of the blue.
- 20:43Big thing that came out this
- 20:44week and I was trying to
- 20:45solve for a guest that
- 20:47we're actually having come
- 20:48on the show today.
- 20:50The main focus is today is
- 20:51going to be on the
- 20:52qualifiers that just happened.
- 20:54And we're going to go
- 20:55through that in depth.
- 20:57But I was there were two
- 20:59things that really jumped
- 21:01out to me from the online
- 21:02qualifier as kind of being.
- 21:05what I would say is the kind
- 21:07of most impressive results.
- 21:09The first was Nate Ackerman,
- 21:10and we'll talk about him in a second.
- 21:11And the second one was a
- 21:13late addition to the field
- 21:14that I was able to get to
- 21:15skip some time on her
- 21:16vacation to come and talk
- 21:18to us about wanting to do it.
- 21:20Jamie Latimer, what's up?
- 21:21Hi.
- 21:26Patrick did not know you
- 21:27were coming on this show.
- 21:28I did.
- 21:28I didn't know I was coming on.
- 21:33But it's only fair because
- 21:35I'm always trying to get on your show.
- 21:36I guess there's some audio
- 21:36issues with that,
- 21:38so I'll go ahead and take it down.
- 21:40But, yeah,
- 21:43Jamie was on Be Friendly Fitness
- 21:44yesterday live from Cancun,
- 21:48looking all tan and buff,
- 21:51but represented well,
- 21:54giving Clydesdale a couple shout-outs,
- 21:56which was awesome.
- 21:58But she talked about what it was like to,
- 22:00at forty-one years old, qualify.
- 22:03for the Challenger Series at the WFP.
- 22:07And that she said on the
- 22:10show that she more than
- 22:12likely will try to compete
- 22:15at Indianapolis as it's so
- 22:17close to her home.
- 22:18It's just one of those
- 22:19competitions where she can test herself.
- 22:22That is a place she's not
- 22:23going to have to put out
- 22:24three thousand dollars to
- 22:25travel to get airfare, to get hotel rooms,
- 22:31that she'll be able to go
- 22:32do that and actually have
- 22:33support from her gym to come down.
- 22:38It was really cool.
- 22:39She did not let me know she
- 22:40was doing the show.
- 22:41So when I was sitting there
- 22:45doing my work yesterday and
- 22:46she popped on the screen,
- 22:48I was taken aback, but super,
- 22:50super excited for her that
- 22:53she's been able to do that.
- 22:55Now we're just waiting for
- 22:56video review to happen.
- 22:58to make sure she stays in that spot.
- 23:01Um,
- 23:01but if you've watched any of Jamie's
- 23:03career, she's such a good mover.
- 23:05I don't anticipate her
- 23:07getting any penalties.
- 23:09Um, if anything, she may move up, uh,
- 23:12the leaderboard somewhat in
- 23:13the challenger series.
- 23:16But what was cool is
- 23:17yesterday she talked about
- 23:18like there are workouts
- 23:19that are her jam that she
- 23:22thinks she can compete with
- 23:23anybody in the world.
- 23:24And I think she wants the
- 23:26opportunity to get out on the floor,
- 23:29and show what she can do in
- 23:31those in those events uh
- 23:34and this is going to give
- 23:34her that opportunity to do
- 23:36that she also talked about
- 23:37she talked about it on her
- 23:38show um earlier is the
- 23:41crossfit games for masters
- 23:44that are here in Columbus
- 23:45are on the same weekend
- 23:48that if her son goes to
- 23:49Michigan State is the
- 23:51welcome weekend for the students.
- 23:53And that this year she has
- 23:55committed to whatever is
- 23:58most important for her son
- 24:00and not necessarily for her.
- 24:03So if that does happen,
- 24:05she may have a scheduling
- 24:06conflict with the Masters
- 24:07CrossFit Games and not be able to do it.
- 24:10So this gives her an
- 24:11opportunity to compete on a higher level.
- 24:14Um, and test her out,
- 24:17test herself against some
- 24:19of the best people in the world.
- 24:21Um, cause currently in the,
- 24:23in the challenger series, uh,
- 24:27like there's people like Abby Domet,
- 24:29Sydney McElishan, uh, Lexi knee.
- 24:32Uh, I think Lexi Neely is in there.
- 24:36Um,
- 24:38Kyra Milligan.
- 24:39So she'd be able to test
- 24:42herself against those types of people.
- 24:44Yeah.
- 24:46And who knows,
- 24:46they may move up into the
- 24:48pro series because they're
- 24:49really close to that cut
- 24:51line from ten to fifteen.
- 24:55So we'll see.
- 24:57But super proud of Jamie and
- 25:01what she's been able to
- 25:02accomplish in these last
- 25:04couple of years at forty
- 25:04one years old to hang with
- 25:05the kids is pretty damn impressive.
- 25:09And I'm glad that Brian
- 25:11recognized that and
- 25:13highlighted her yesterday on their show.
- 25:15um to do that uh it's just
- 25:19cool seeing that she's
- 25:20getting recognized for that
- 25:22so super awesome yeah jody
- 25:26lynn the dang colleges have
- 25:28those wacky schedules yeah
- 25:32that's it like I I hope I
- 25:37hope it's just an oversight
- 25:38but it just seems like
- 25:40Some of these competition
- 25:41organizers are just tone
- 25:44deaf to some of the things
- 25:45that are going on.
- 25:47If you're a master's athlete,
- 25:49there is a good chance that
- 25:51you have children.
- 25:52Like last year,
- 25:53we had the problem where
- 25:55there were master's
- 25:56athletes and teen athletes,
- 25:59both qualifying for the CrossFit Games.
- 26:01And because they put them on
- 26:02the same weekend in different locations,
- 26:05they could not cheer for each other.
- 26:07They couldn't be there for each other.
- 26:10They rectify that this year.
- 26:12And now they place the
- 26:13Masters and Teens CrossFit
- 26:15Games smack dab in the
- 26:18middle of August when kids
- 26:20are going back to school
- 26:22and kids are going to college.
- 26:26Now you have
- 26:28probably sixteen
- 26:28seventeen-year-olds who
- 26:32some may be going on to
- 26:33college some may be
- 26:35starting high school right
- 26:36at that time and then you
- 26:38have parents of those
- 26:40children or a little bit
- 26:42older going off to college
- 26:44who have to go and deal
- 26:45with all of that as well
- 26:47and so I just think it's
- 26:50bad timing for those age groups
- 26:54If you're talking the elite
- 26:55division where the average
- 26:58age is in the mid to upper twenties,
- 27:01like I think you're fine.
- 27:04But when you're talking the age groups,
- 27:07those are the two age
- 27:08groups that are affected
- 27:09most by the times in which
- 27:12these things are scheduled.
- 27:15And maybe,
- 27:16maybe that's the only weekend
- 27:17they could get.
- 27:18Who knows?
- 27:19I don't know.
- 27:20Um,
- 27:26Jody says, being a fit parent is tough.
- 27:29It really is.
- 27:31Jay Burch asked,
- 27:31should it be done earlier or later?
- 27:33I have always been a
- 27:34proponent that the age
- 27:36group games should be done
- 27:37before the elite games.
- 27:40And then the highlights from
- 27:42what happened at those
- 27:44events are featured in
- 27:47between events at the elite
- 27:48CrossFit games.
- 27:51And that way,
- 27:52it's a way of bringing those
- 27:54age group athletes into
- 27:56that CrossFit Games
- 27:57atmosphere and still
- 27:59highlighting what they did
- 28:01and the amazing things they've done.
- 28:03And that goes for adaptive too.
- 28:05It's a way to feature all of
- 28:07those athletes and show off
- 28:09what they did.
- 28:11Yeah, I'm up for July, Jay Birch.
- 28:14Truly July.
- 28:15Midsummer when a parent and
- 28:17a teen aren't doing anything.
- 28:20is the perfect time to do that.
- 28:25And then you take that highlight footage,
- 28:27and you show them off at
- 28:28the CrossFit Games in
- 28:30between events on TVs at vendor village,
- 28:34things like that.
- 28:34So so that the the
- 28:39spectators are entertained
- 28:41by what these age group
- 28:42athletes are able to do.
- 28:46If, if that makes sense.
- 28:52So off on my, off of my soapbox for that.
- 28:57Um, I did want to show,
- 29:02I did want to give CrossFit kudos.
- 29:08Jay Burch says, uh,
- 29:10that's my birthday month.
- 29:11I can't be judging then.
- 29:13So,
- 29:15so Jay Burch's birthday is like a whole
- 29:18month celebration.
- 29:22got it kenneth mini riff I
- 29:26always tell my wife that my
- 29:27uh my birthday is
- 29:29scottapalooza it's a week
- 29:30long and I should be
- 29:32treated as such for the
- 29:33whole week she has never
- 29:34bought into that in our
- 29:36thirty years together so um
- 29:40good luck to that jay birch
- 29:46uh I wanted to give
- 29:50I can't type and talk at the same time.
- 29:56CrossFit and the CrossFit Games, kudos.
- 29:59They came out with a really
- 30:00cool reel today.
- 30:04Lucky to get my one day.
- 30:06Amen, brother.
- 30:08Amen.
- 30:12Where they did, it was like,
- 30:15I'm calling it all grown up,
- 30:17but it's showing teen
- 30:18athletes when they were
- 30:21competing at the CrossFit Games as teens.
- 30:23And now that they're all grown up,
- 30:24what they look like.
- 30:26And so I'm going to share
- 30:27that screen real quick.
- 30:29And it is awesome.
- 30:33So I'm going to play it.
- 30:35Hopefully...
- 30:42I don't want to play the music,
- 30:44but you get it.
- 31:07So it's even cooler with the music,
- 31:09but it's just like a
- 31:10picture of them as a teen
- 31:12athlete and where they are today.
- 31:15There's Dallin and then Jack Dallin.
- 31:19There's Gabby.
- 31:22And celebrating Gabby.
- 31:26Alexis.
- 31:30Isn't it crazy how Alexis
- 31:32hasn't aged a bit?
- 31:34James Sprague hasn't aged either.
- 31:36He just got more ripped.
- 31:40Anyway,
- 31:41I thought that was a really cool
- 31:42reel and something they
- 31:44should be given kudos for.
- 31:46The media team has
- 31:47definitely stepped it up in
- 31:48the last few months with
- 31:50the content they're putting out.
- 31:52It actually is really cool stuff.
- 31:56The behind the scenes of
- 31:57twenty five point three was awesome.
- 32:00This reel is awesome.
- 32:01They've just done a really
- 32:02good job with all of this stuff.
- 32:08Aaron Frazier says he
- 32:08probably got one of those
- 32:10sashes that he pins money to.
- 32:12I do not.
- 32:13I've never done that.
- 32:17The first time I saw that,
- 32:18I think I was in Florida.
- 32:22And I was like, what the hell is that?
- 32:26I didn't even understand that.
- 32:29And it had to be explained to me.
- 32:32Growing up in the woods and
- 32:34mountains of Pennsylvania,
- 32:35we never did anything like that.
- 32:38Um, so it was all new to me.
- 32:44Have I hit everything?
- 32:49Yeah,
- 32:49pretty much at everything for the day.
- 32:52Um,
- 32:53the last thing I'm going to talk about
- 32:54is Tia Toomey put out a video.
- 32:58where she talked about doing
- 32:59high rocks and it talked
- 33:02about like what her
- 33:03season's going to look like.
- 33:05And man,
- 33:06I always fall for their clickbait.
- 33:10I had actually stopped for a while.
- 33:12I just stopped watching the
- 33:13videos and I waited for
- 33:14somebody to tell me what it said.
- 33:15Um, but I, I watched this video,
- 33:19you get to the end and
- 33:21basically she just says
- 33:23that she's going to do high rock Chicago,
- 33:27that she's going to do Torian pro.
- 33:30And then after that, she just doesn't know,
- 33:32uh, whatever,
- 33:34whatever comes next comes next.
- 33:36So basically no answer.
- 33:41uh yeah we talked about it
- 33:46on the sunday night show
- 33:48where john young had made
- 33:49the prediction that tia
- 33:50would do torian pro and
- 33:52then hang it up on the
- 33:54floor in her home country
- 33:57and actually after watching
- 33:58this video I'm more
- 33:59inclined to believe that
- 34:01that actually is going to happen
- 34:05even though there is no
- 34:06evidence to back that up.
- 34:07John was just shooting from the hip,
- 34:09and he admits he's shooting from the hip.
- 34:11But when I watched that video,
- 34:14it actually led me to
- 34:17believe that that is a possibility now,
- 34:20for sure.
- 34:25I think she talks a lot
- 34:27about the High Rocks
- 34:28community being the way the
- 34:30CrossFit community used to be.
- 34:35And my thought in that moment was, well,
- 34:38rather than jumping ship
- 34:39and going and just hanging
- 34:40out with that community,
- 34:42what can you do to make
- 34:44this community better again?
- 34:50Because I think that's the
- 34:51missing piece from some of
- 34:53the elite athletes is
- 34:59instead of like complaining
- 35:01of where we are,
- 35:03what can I do to make it better?
- 35:09And I think we could all ask
- 35:13ourselves that.
- 35:16You know?
- 35:19What can we all do to make it better?
- 35:25So that's just something
- 35:28that crossed my mind as I
- 35:29was watching the TIA video.
- 35:36So, yep, that's what I have.
- 35:43With that, guys,
- 35:46shoot me your doppelganger
- 35:47picks in the CrossFit space,
- 35:52especially like it's a
- 35:53celebrity and a CrossFitter.
- 35:56That'd be really cool.
- 35:58I would love to put some
- 35:59stuff together like that.
- 36:02And just one last time,
- 36:03like that's Dex and Kawhi
- 36:05Lyman from Den of Thieves
- 36:07and Den of Thieves II,
- 36:09something like that.
- 36:13we got a new show coming out.
- 36:14Don't forget that, uh,
- 36:16catching feelings with cat.
- 36:19Um, that should start next week.
- 36:22And other than that, nah,
- 36:30that decks and decks.
- 36:31Yeah.
- 36:32That's what it looks like.
- 36:34Um,
- 36:35So with that time to get back to work,
- 36:37you hooligans,
- 36:38we will see you next time
- 36:40on lunch with the Clydesdale.
- 36:42Bye guys.
