  What is going on, everybody?
• 0:30
  Welcome to the Clyde Zone
• 0:32
  Media Roundtable.
• 0:33
  Roundtable of two.
• 0:35
  We may have some other
• 0:36
  members as we go into this conversation.
• 0:42
  But you went and did early voting.
• 0:44
  I did.
• 0:44
  I went and did early voting.
• 0:45
  So Thursdays are my day off.
• 0:46
  So I just decided to just do it today.
• 0:50
  So I did.
• 0:52
  I have never really voted.
• 0:55
  Oh, yeah.
• 0:55
  I mean, I didn't even have to, I mean,
• 0:57
  it took me longer to drive
• 0:59
  there and back than it did
• 1:01
  to go through the whole process.
• 1:02
  Yeah.
• 1:05
  Our polling center is never,
• 1:08
  like there's so many voting
• 1:09
  machines in our polling center.
• 1:11
  Like it's, and it's never busy.
• 1:16
  Like I can go, I walk in and I walk out.
• 1:18
  Yeah.
• 1:19
  So I just do it on election day.
• 1:20
  Sure.
• 1:21
  And we get, as a state worker,
• 1:23
  we get like an hour to vote.
• 1:25
  You know,
• 1:26
  I'm glad to hear that because I
• 1:27
  was actually saying that I
• 1:29
  feel like every person
• 1:30
  should have that opportunity,
• 1:34
  either be paid to go vote
• 1:37
  or given the time off to go
• 1:38
  vote during the workday.
• 1:39
  Yeah.
• 1:42
  Dense Update says, same,
• 1:43
  early voting is so clutch.
• 1:44
  Agreed.
• 1:48
  I don't know if you guys saw,
• 1:48
  but Dense Updates,
• 1:49
  we actually had her on our show,
• 1:52
  full interview.
• 1:53
  If you don't know who Jenny is,
• 1:55
  go check that out.
• 1:56
  But she just,
• 1:57
  her Dense Updates was an
• 1:59
  Instagram reel and is now a
• 2:02
  full YouTube channel.
• 2:04
  And it just got picked up by
• 2:06
  the Savon platform recently.
• 2:08
  So big audience for her,
• 2:11
  and that's a huge
• 2:12
  opportunity and a huge
• 2:13
  congratulations to her because, honestly,
• 2:16
  she is a must-watch for me.
• 2:18
  She takes all this drama and
• 2:20
  nonsense that's going on in
• 2:22
  the CrossFit world, breaks it all down,
• 2:24
  and then I know what I need
• 2:26
  to go follow up on to know more about.
• 2:30
  So she kind of sorts it all
• 2:32
  into like a nice little ten
• 2:34
  minute presentation.
• 2:35
  And then you just go, OK,
• 2:36
  that's what I want to know
• 2:37
  more about that one.
• 2:38
  I don't care about whatever.
• 2:39
  But she and and she watches
• 2:43
  all the channels.
• 2:44
  So like.
• 2:47
  No biases or anything.
• 2:48
  She actually watches them
• 2:49
  all and then reports on them all.
• 2:50
  Nice.
• 2:52
  Which is really cool.
• 2:55
  It's also a special day.
• 2:59
  It's Halloween.
• 3:00
  this is Halloween, this is Halloween,
• 3:02
  Halloween.
• 3:03
  Yes, I love Halloween.
• 3:06
  I did not expect a song.
• 3:07
  Well, you know, I coached this morning.
• 3:09
  I don't normally coach on Thursday,
• 3:11
  but I swapped with somebody.
• 3:12
  And so I got to get into the
• 3:14
  Halloween spirit at five a.m.
• 3:17
  OK.
• 3:18
  And I had I took Murph with
• 3:19
  me because he was part of my costume.
• 3:22
  I recycled a costume for the gym today.
• 3:25
  And that costume was I was
• 3:29
  little red riding hood and
• 3:30
  Murph was a big bad wolf.
• 3:33
  So we've done that before,
• 3:34
  but he has a different
• 3:36
  costume that he's going to wear tonight.
• 3:38
  And,
• 3:39
  and this is an example of what happens
• 3:41
  when your kids grow up and
• 3:44
  you all still love the
• 3:45
  holiday and loved the
• 3:48
  aspect of like getting
• 3:49
  costumes ready for little people.
• 3:51
  And so now I just do that for my dog.
• 3:53
  So that's an example of,
• 3:56
  of a mom that's missing her
• 3:58
  kids when they were young.
• 4:00
  Walter has one costume.
• 4:03
  He is part Chihuahua, part Yorkie.
• 4:06
  But we dive into the
• 4:08
  Chihuahua side and we have
• 4:10
  a sombrero and a sarab, whatever,
• 4:16
  that like goes over his body.
• 4:22
  Got it.
• 4:23
  And he's really cute,
• 4:24
  but he does not like the hat.
• 4:27
  He tries to get it off as
• 4:29
  quickly as possible.
• 4:33
  Well, tonight,
• 4:35
  Murph's costume is Dobby the
• 4:38
  house elf from Harry Potter.
• 4:42
  And I literally came up with
• 4:43
  that last second because he
• 4:45
  always like sometimes when
• 4:48
  you're talking to him,
• 4:48
  like he pulls his ears back.
• 4:49
  Right.
• 4:50
  And so he loves it when
• 4:51
  we're folding laundry.
• 4:52
  And so we were folding
• 4:53
  laundry and sometimes we'll
• 4:54
  lay a sock on his head and we'll say,
• 4:56
  Dobby has been given a sock.
• 4:57
  Dobby is free.
• 4:59
  And he just sits there.
• 5:00
  And so then I was like,
• 5:01
  I think I could make this a costume.
• 5:04
  So I did.
• 5:06
  And there it is.
• 5:07
  And he's free.
• 5:08
  He's free.
• 5:08
  Yeah.
• 5:10
  Very nice.
• 5:10
  Yes.
• 5:12
  But do you guys normally get
• 5:13
  a lot of trick-or-treaters?
• 5:14
  We usually get a ton.
• 5:16
  Yeah.
• 5:18
  So many.
• 5:20
  Our neighborhood is so busy
• 5:22
  with trick-or-treat,
• 5:23
  but I'm not on the main street.
• 5:24
  But there's a lot of
• 5:25
  activity in the neighborhood,
• 5:26
  but we don't get a ton of
• 5:30
  trick-or-treaters.
• 5:30
  But I still love it.
• 5:34
  Yeah.
• 5:34
  If we don't have at least
• 5:35
  five hundred pieces of candy,
• 5:38
  we won't have enough.
• 5:40
  Now I'm going to ask you
• 5:41
  this question because I've
• 5:42
  been noticing you've been
• 5:44
  turning into a little, sometimes,
• 5:46
  sometimes a little bit of a
• 5:47
  grumpy old man we've talked about.
• 5:50
  Yes.
• 5:50
  Okay.
• 5:51
  Admittedly.
• 5:52
  Yes.
• 5:53
  Okay.
• 5:54
  I'm embracing it.
• 5:55
  Okay.
• 5:56
  So let's say some teenagers
• 5:58
  come up to your house and
• 5:59
  they're not in a costume
• 6:00
  and they say trick or treat.
• 6:01
  Are you going to give them candy?
• 6:04
  I usually get vetoed by my wife.
• 6:07
  So you give them candy?
• 6:09
  I do not.
• 6:09
  She will though.
• 6:12
  well good for her yeah my
• 6:16
  old neighbor used to save
• 6:17
  like other holiday candy
• 6:19
  yeah if a teenager came up
• 6:21
  in a non costume he would
• 6:24
  give them like a
• 6:25
  valentine's candy necklace
• 6:27
  or an easter chocolate
• 6:29
  easter bunny or like that
• 6:32
  kind of stuff so this
• 6:33
  checks out with what I was
• 6:34
  expecting you to say
• 6:39
  I view it as why not hold on
• 6:42
  to childhood as long as you
• 6:43
  can and if that means you
• 6:44
  decide last minute to go
• 6:45
  walk around the
• 6:46
  neighborhood with your
• 6:47
  friends for some candy I'm
• 6:48
  here for it I'll give you
• 6:49
  candy I don't care I I okay
• 6:54
  so if they come up and
• 6:55
  they're very friendly and
• 6:56
  they're cordial and they're
• 6:57
  having a conversation with
• 6:58
  me then sure I don't even
• 7:00
  blink but if they're like
• 7:02
  very disrespectful and just
• 7:03
  like flying by with the bag
• 7:05
  like put the candy in the bag like sure
• 7:09
  I can see that.
• 7:10
  Sure.
• 7:12
  Yeah.
• 7:13
  Yeah.
• 7:15
  But the last couple years,
• 7:17
  Halloween night has been
• 7:18
  awful weather here in Ohio.
• 7:21
  And they're calling for rain
• 7:22
  again tonight.
• 7:23
  Yeah, but at least it'll be warm.
• 7:25
  Well, warm rain.
• 7:26
  Yeah, that's just lovely.
• 7:27
  Well, it's way better than cold rain.
• 7:30
  Yeah.
• 7:30
  I guess we go,
• 7:31
  we normally go out to the
• 7:32
  end of the driveway.
• 7:33
  Yeah.
• 7:34
  So the kids don't have to like come up in.
• 7:36
  Yeah.
• 7:37
  And if it rains them off to
• 7:38
  just be on the porch.
• 7:39
  Yeah.
• 7:40
  Yeah.
• 7:40
  We normally sit with the fire pit,
• 7:42
  like on the, the driveway,
• 7:43
  but turns out we used our
• 7:45
  fire pit last week and we
• 7:48
  leave it out all year.
• 7:49
  And it it's,
• 7:51
  there's a hole it's disintegrated.
• 7:53
  So no fire tonight.
• 7:57
  last question about
• 7:57
  halloween okay what is your
• 7:59
  most overrated candy and
• 8:02
  what is your favorite candy
• 8:06
  so number one I just don't
• 8:08
  generally love candy at all
• 8:10
  to be to be honest like it
• 8:12
  wouldn't bother if we don't
• 8:13
  give it all away it's not
• 8:14
  going to bother me I won't
• 8:15
  really go for it yeah um
• 8:19
  but I would say like I
• 8:20
  don't I don't like like
• 8:22
  really chewy stuff like
• 8:23
  tootsie rolls or taffy any
• 8:25
  of that kind of stuff
• 8:26
  what I would say is overrated.
• 8:28
  But I do.
• 8:29
  I mean,
• 8:30
  I could eat a Kit Kat or like some
• 8:34
  of a Reese's cup.
• 8:35
  Sometimes a Reese's cup
• 8:37
  feels too rich for me.
• 8:39
  But I like those kinds of flavors.
• 8:41
  I would say chocolate and peanut butter.
• 8:43
  Yeah,
• 8:43
  my most overrated I would say is like
• 8:45
  the Butterfinger.
• 8:46
  Okay, yeah.
• 8:48
  That's like in everything
• 8:49
  and many details going on there.
• 8:51
  And whatever it is in the
• 8:52
  middle gets stuck in your teeth.
• 8:53
  Yeah.
• 8:55
  Um, but the,
• 8:56
  like the most underrated and I
• 8:58
  am a nerds freak.
• 8:59
  Like I would steal all the
• 9:01
  nerds from Corey's bucket
• 9:03
  back in the day.
• 9:05
  Okay.
• 9:05
  I'm going to add one story to that.
• 9:06
  Cause last night the office
• 9:08
  had the Halloween episode on and we,
• 9:12
  we hadn't watched it for so
• 9:13
  long and just forgot all the,
• 9:14
  some of the one-liners that were good.
• 9:15
  And Dwight sitting there
• 9:16
  eating nerds and he goes, Oh, look, Jim,
• 9:19
  I'm eating you.
• 9:25
  it was just so good I think
• 9:26
  my wife watches the office
• 9:28
  every night going yeah I
• 9:29
  mean it's always on no
• 9:30
  matter when you turn on the
• 9:33
  tv and jody is right my
• 9:34
  goal is to like have zero
• 9:35
  candy by the end of the
• 9:37
  night yeah so none no none
• 9:40
  comes back in the house
• 9:43
  like if you're coming by in
• 9:44
  that last twenty minutes
• 9:45
  you're getting a handful of candy from me
• 9:47
  And a great pro tip if you
• 9:50
  have a weakness towards
• 9:51
  candy is buy the candy that
• 9:53
  you don't like so that if it's left over,
• 9:56
  oh, well, don't eat it.
• 10:00
  Yeah.
• 10:01
  Agreed.
• 10:02
  Yeah.
• 10:04
  So I have one more like
• 10:07
  overall topic I wanted to
• 10:08
  ask your opinion about.
• 10:09
  Oh, here we go.
• 10:10
  Did you watch the baseball
• 10:12
  game two nights ago?
• 10:14
  know the answer to that I
• 10:16
  but I wanted to make sure
• 10:17
  we're a sports household
• 10:18
  but that is one sport we
• 10:19
  don't watch so I'm going to
• 10:23
  share my screen okay so
• 10:26
  there was a foul ball in
• 10:27
  the game did you hear about
• 10:30
  this no so as you can see
• 10:33
  right here the dodger jumps
• 10:36
  up and catches the ball
• 10:38
  over the fence okay this gentleman here
• 10:43
  grabs him by the glove and
• 10:46
  tries to pull the glove off of his hand.
• 10:51
  When you look on the next screen on this,
• 10:54
  you see him grabbing the glove,
• 10:56
  trying to pull it,
• 10:57
  and then his buddy grabs
• 10:59
  the other arm of the player.
• 11:00
  Not okay.
• 11:01
  I'm not okay with that.
• 11:06
  I was listening to some shows yesterday.
• 11:09
  Yeah.
• 11:09
  J.J.
• 11:09
  Watt said I would punch him in the mouth.
• 11:17
  And then we'll see how many
• 11:18
  people try it again.
• 11:20
  It's not appropriate at all.
• 11:22
  So these two people were
• 11:23
  removed by security and they are banned.
• 11:25
  Good.
• 11:26
  Coming back.
• 11:27
  Good.
• 11:28
  And they gave their tickets
• 11:29
  to a fifteen-year-old
• 11:30
  cancer patient and his
• 11:31
  family to come to game five last night.
• 11:34
  That's okay.
• 11:36
  That's a redeeming quality.
• 11:38
  Right.
• 11:38
  But what they did...
• 11:40
  Like, I think charges should be pressed.
• 11:43
  That is.
• 11:44
  I can see getting caught up
• 11:46
  in the heat of the moment
• 11:46
  that like your first
• 11:47
  reaction might be to grab like the, the,
• 11:50
  like the first time,
• 11:50
  like just to grab it.
• 11:51
  And then, then you're like, oh, oh,
• 11:53
  I just realized what I'm doing.
• 11:54
  I'm like, oh, but for, for it to continue,
• 11:59
  definitely this jabroni
• 12:01
  here in response to what
• 12:02
  happened said that if he
• 12:04
  pulled the ball out,
• 12:05
  then it wouldn't be an out.
• 12:09
  That's not even, like, logical.
• 12:12
  No.
• 12:15
  But what a mess.
• 12:18
  Yeah.
• 12:21
  I feel for these players that, like,
• 12:25
  who knows what's next, right?
• 12:32
  Yeah.
• 12:32
  Yeah, that's really inappropriate.
• 12:33
  Andrew Sten says,
• 12:34
  MLB should ban them all
• 12:36
  from them from all stadiums for life.
• 12:40
  I don't disagree.
• 12:43
  I don't disagree.
• 12:44
  But anyway,
• 12:45
  I just wanted to get your
• 12:45
  opinion on that because
• 12:47
  that happened this week and
• 12:48
  we cover sports, right?
• 12:51
  And that could happen in
• 12:52
  CrossFit just like it
• 12:53
  happened in the MLB.
• 12:54
  So.
• 12:54
  Yeah.
• 12:56
  So, yeah.
• 13:03
  So you coached this morning.
• 13:05
  Did you get any fitness in?
• 13:07
  I did, but I did so yesterday.
• 13:12
  I just, it was so beautiful out, right?
• 13:14
  Cause it's unseasonably warm.
• 13:16
  And I thought my days are
• 13:17
  numbered out on the trails.
• 13:19
  So I, for the season.
• 13:22
  So I went for a run yesterday,
• 13:24
  which was not part of like
• 13:25
  the programming,
• 13:26
  but today's workout had
• 13:28
  some running in it.
• 13:29
  And so I coached this
• 13:31
  morning and then I just did
• 13:33
  some of the strength from
• 13:34
  yesterday and the strength today.
• 13:35
  So I just called today a strength day.
• 13:40
  so that's acceptable that's
• 13:41
  good yeah I got some
• 13:42
  movement in and I mean but
• 13:44
  I had almost seven thousand
• 13:45
  steps before eight forty
• 13:47
  five a.m so wow yeah but
• 13:51
  I've seen you coach yeah I
• 13:52
  move around a lot you move
• 13:54
  you move a lot during
• 13:55
  coaching um yeah yeah I've
• 14:01
  had some back spasms this week
• 14:05
  And it's not while I'm working out.
• 14:06
  It's like after I'm done
• 14:08
  working out and I'll be
• 14:09
  just relaxing and then it
• 14:11
  just catches me.
• 14:13
  Oh, it's so bad.
• 14:15
  But it's not structural.
• 14:16
  It's just muscle.
• 14:18
  And it's been a long time
• 14:19
  since I've had them.
• 14:20
  It's probably your spinal erectors.
• 14:22
  So a lot of TENS machine,
• 14:24
  a lot of stretching.
• 14:26
  Yeah.
• 14:29
  Yeah.
• 14:29
  This week.
• 14:31
  And trying to not go so heavy on things.
• 14:34
  Just nice and light this week.
• 14:36
  Yeah.
• 14:36
  All movement.
• 14:39
  Movement is good.
• 14:41
  Movement, movement.
• 14:44
  I won a bet with Carolyn
• 14:45
  Prevo last week at the Penn
• 14:48
  State Wisconsin game.
• 14:49
  Oh.
• 14:51
  And she has to do death by
• 14:53
  burpees this week.
• 14:55
  Oh,
• 14:56
  I would never make a bet that included
• 14:58
  death by burpees as a dumb bet.
• 15:00
  So the original,
• 15:01
  the original bet was death
• 15:03
  by assault bike.
• 15:04
  Still dumb.
• 15:05
  She chose to switch it to burpees.
• 15:08
  Dumb.
• 15:11
  Yeah.
• 15:12
  So I mean, but I guess if she has to do it,
• 15:14
  then she has to do it.
• 15:16
  You know what this week is?
• 15:18
  Yes.
• 15:19
  Penn State, Ohio State.
• 15:21
  I do not.
• 15:22
  The undefeated Nittany Lions.
• 15:26
  It's true.
• 15:29
  Taking on the one loss,
• 15:31
  Ohio State Buckeyes in Happy Valley.
• 15:34
  Uh-huh.
• 15:39
  Yep.
• 15:40
  And Penn State is all up in
• 15:41
  arms because Fox decided to
• 15:44
  move it to the big noon kickoff.
• 15:47
  And that means we don't get
• 15:49
  the whiteout at night.
• 15:50
  Oh, no whiteout.
• 15:55
  So we have to play at noon.
• 16:01
  Well, where will you be watching it?
• 16:03
  Remember the one time you
• 16:04
  came over and we watched it outside?
• 16:07
  Yeah,
• 16:08
  that's why that'll never happen again.
• 16:10
  Why?
• 16:11
  Which part?
• 16:13
  Because one, it was freezing cold.
• 16:14
  It was cold.
• 16:15
  And it was outside.
• 16:16
  And two,
• 16:17
  Penn State got slaughtered that night.
• 16:21
  Yes, that is true.
• 16:25
  I watched the,
• 16:26
  so there is a Penn State
• 16:29
  Alumni Association here in Central Ohio.
• 16:32
  Okay.
• 16:33
  Our mutual friends are a part of.
• 16:36
  And that's where I watched
• 16:37
  the Wisconsin game last week with them.
• 16:43
  And there's a new tavern at
• 16:45
  the old Ruby Tuesday building.
• 16:48
  Yeah.
• 16:49
  Have you been there?
• 16:49
  No, I haven't yet.
• 16:52
  Is it really?
• 16:53
  Yeah.
• 16:55
  Right by my house.
• 16:56
  Right by your house.
• 16:57
  Yeah.
• 16:58
  I mean, I've been watching them build that,
• 16:59
  but yeah.
• 17:01
  Yeah.
• 17:02
  They made garage doors on the one side.
• 17:04
  Yeah.
• 17:04
  Patio.
• 17:06
  It's really nice inside.
• 17:07
  They have like a one-man
• 17:09
  acoustic band playing on Friday nights.
• 17:13
  And it's really nice inside.
• 17:16
  Before we move on,
• 17:16
  are you worried about the
• 17:19
  coach's record against Ohio State?
• 17:23
  Listen, it's a new year.
• 17:24
  We don't care about it.
• 17:29
  So, yeah.
• 17:31
  Okay, back to Ruby Tuesday's place.
• 17:33
  Do you like their pizza there?
• 17:35
  It's not my style of pizza.
• 17:37
  It's that Ohio stuff that I don't like.
• 17:41
  But they've added like a Sicilian,
• 17:44
  but I haven't tried that yet.
• 17:48
  But again,
• 17:49
  it's almost like two separate businesses.
• 17:51
  Pizza place is on one side
• 17:53
  and the tavern is on another.
• 17:57
  So...
• 17:58
  Yeah.
• 17:59
  I think you would dig it.
• 18:00
  Okay.
• 18:03
  I'll tell the... And each
• 18:03
  booth has its own TV that
• 18:04
  you can turn to whatever
• 18:05
  sports thing you want.
• 18:06
  Yeah.
• 18:10
  Solid.
• 18:11
  Cool.
• 18:12
  So I'm going to share my screen again.
• 18:14
  Okay.
• 18:16
  And ask you your opinion
• 18:17
  about this because it's one
• 18:20
  of your favorite people.
• 18:23
  So this popped up two days ago.
• 18:26
  Okay.
• 18:26
  It is the World Fitness Project.
• 18:30
  And if you look right here,
• 18:33
  it says Sports League.
• 18:35
  I'll try to blow it up.
• 18:36
  Okay.
• 18:38
  Maybe, there we go.
• 18:39
  Okay.
• 18:41
  See that Sports League?
• 18:42
  Yeah.
• 18:43
  They only have one post.
• 18:44
  It says coming soon.
• 18:46
  And there's only the one
• 18:48
  post with nothing on it.
• 18:50
  Okay.
• 18:52
  Okay.
• 18:53
  Yeah.
• 18:53
  This is Will Morad's.
• 18:55
  Oh, okay.
• 18:56
  Yeah.
• 18:57
  new fitness league.
• 19:02
  Now if you go back and
• 19:03
  listen to his interview on
• 19:05
  coffee pods and wads,
• 19:06
  he talks about how the season
• 19:12
  is not a professional season
• 19:13
  that it needs to be
• 19:14
  different and it needs to
• 19:16
  not be a one like a head
• 19:20
  for one CrossFit Games
• 19:22
  where it's all or nothing
• 19:24
  single elimination through
• 19:26
  all these steps he thinks
• 19:29
  it should go back to more
• 19:30
  of like a sanctional year
• 19:32
  where you have different
• 19:33
  options to compete to get
• 19:35
  yourself to the championship
• 19:38
  We don't have any details on this.
• 19:39
  He's not commenting until they have more.
• 19:42
  But I think last week we
• 19:43
  said it was going to be
• 19:45
  really hard for a new
• 19:46
  league to step up without
• 19:47
  announcing any details at this point.
• 19:51
  So I'm still skeptical,
• 19:53
  and I don't know who's backing it.
• 19:55
  If you look at the original
• 19:57
  followers or who they follow,
• 20:00
  it's the LRX company owner.
• 20:04
  Oh, yeah.
• 20:05
  He's a local guy.
• 20:07
  And right.
• 20:08
  And one other person.
• 20:09
  Okay.
• 20:09
  So I don't know if they're
• 20:11
  behind this and backing it.
• 20:13
  It's all speculation at this point.
• 20:15
  Yeah.
• 20:16
  But he did.
• 20:18
  He did talk on that coffee
• 20:20
  pods and wads info about that.
• 20:22
  A new season wouldn't have
• 20:23
  to be a rival to the CrossFit games.
• 20:26
  It could be an addition to
• 20:28
  running kind of at the same time.
• 20:30
  Right.
• 20:33
  So.
• 20:34
  Unless CrossFit decided to do, oh,
• 20:37
  if you do this event, you can't do this,
• 20:40
  our events.
• 20:42
  They've never done that in the past, but.
• 20:43
  Okay.
• 20:44
  That's true.
• 20:45
  But they could.
• 20:47
  Yeah.
• 20:50
  And then the other thing,
• 20:51
  I will say that both at the
• 20:53
  CrossFit Games and at the
• 20:54
  Masters CrossFit Games,
• 20:56
  I did hear rumblings around
• 20:58
  the training think tank
• 21:00
  folks that something was coming.
• 21:03
  Now,
• 21:03
  that is where Will Morad is
• 21:05
  technically a member of now.
• 21:08
  Yeah, there's been some changes there.
• 21:12
  So I don't know if that
• 21:15
  means that Training Think
• 21:16
  Tank is any part of this,
• 21:18
  or they were talking about Will,
• 21:19
  who is a part of Training Think Tank.
• 21:21
  And so the Training Think
• 21:22
  Tank folks kind of knew
• 21:24
  that he was coming with this.
• 21:26
  Yeah.
• 21:27
  But I did hear rumblings
• 21:29
  about this both at the
• 21:30
  CrossFit Games and at the
• 21:31
  Masters CrossFit Games.
• 21:33
  But seriously, already for posting nothing,
• 21:36
  there's quite a bit of followers.
• 21:38
  Correct.
• 21:40
  Correct.
• 21:43
  Again,
• 21:43
  I think it's going to be really hard
• 21:45
  to launch a brand new league this late.
• 21:49
  And I believe he's been
• 21:51
  working on this since
• 21:52
  before the CrossFit Games,
• 21:55
  meaning this came before
• 21:56
  the tragic event that happened there,
• 21:58
  that this was always a plan
• 22:00
  of his to come up with
• 22:01
  something different than
• 22:04
  the current CrossFit Games season.
• 22:09
  But
• 22:11
  It's interesting.
• 22:15
  I still have some
• 22:15
  reservations about stuff.
• 22:17
  I think one mistake that
• 22:20
  CrossFit has made is they
• 22:21
  don't include the fans in
• 22:22
  the equation or the spectators.
• 22:25
  I don't think CrossFit
• 22:26
  includes the athletes much
• 22:27
  in the equation as to what
• 22:29
  they should be.
• 22:31
  Like if you look at what
• 22:32
  they sell for merchandise,
• 22:34
  what does CrossFit sell?
• 22:36
  Shirts that say CrossFit.
• 22:37
  Mm-hmm.
• 22:38
  Shirts that say CrossFit Games.
• 22:40
  Mm-hmm.
• 22:41
  Right?
• 22:43
  What?
• 22:45
  If you look at your favorite
• 22:46
  NFL team or player.
• 22:48
  Yeah, has names on jerseys.
• 22:50
  You can buy jerseys and stuff.
• 22:52
  You don't buy NFL shirts.
• 22:55
  Or a college will buy NCAA shirts.
• 22:58
  You don't wear a shirt that says football.
• 22:59
  I mean, well, you might,
• 23:00
  but it would have other
• 23:02
  things attached to it.
• 23:04
  Right.
• 23:04
  Yeah.
• 23:05
  And so they CrossFit has
• 23:07
  left that up to the
• 23:09
  athletes to kind of do on their own.
• 23:13
  And I don't think they have the,
• 23:14
  the ability to produce at a
• 23:16
  level that makes sense, right.
• 23:18
  Where the NFL licenses, all that,
• 23:21
  or MLB or NCAA or whatever.
• 23:24
  And then they sell that
• 23:26
  stuff on bulk and actually
• 23:29
  make money with that and
• 23:30
  give fans the ability to
• 23:32
  support the people they want.
• 23:33
  Sure.
• 23:37
  And I think these new
• 23:38
  leagues that I've heard so
• 23:39
  far are very athlete-centric.
• 23:42
  And again,
• 23:43
  I think they're leaving out the
• 23:44
  spectator part of it.
• 23:47
  Because in the end,
• 23:49
  where you're making your
• 23:49
  money is merchandise sales, ticket sales,
• 23:53
  streaming sales,
• 23:55
  all these things that the
• 23:56
  fans will pay the money for.
• 24:01
  And I think the first league
• 24:02
  that does that has a leg up.
• 24:08
  Because right now your only
• 24:09
  income is CrossFit is the
• 24:12
  open and whatever you pay
• 24:14
  throughout that season and sponsors.
• 24:20
  You're not factoring and
• 24:21
  maybe some ticket sales,
• 24:22
  but you're not selling many
• 24:24
  live event things anyway.
• 24:28
  Right.
• 24:31
  So Jay Birch is asking so he
• 24:33
  would put on multiple comps.
• 24:35
  Again,
• 24:35
  everything is speculation at this point,
• 24:37
  Jay Birch.
• 24:39
  But it sounds like he would...
• 24:43
  almost work with or partner
• 24:46
  with other existing competitions.
• 24:49
  And what he was kind of
• 24:50
  talking about is more of
• 24:51
  like a point system.
• 24:53
  Like you could earn so many
• 24:54
  points at this event,
• 24:55
  so many points at that event,
• 24:57
  and the people with the
• 24:58
  highest points go to a
• 25:00
  stage where they would compete.
• 25:02
  Again, all of this is speculation.
• 25:05
  If you listen to the interview,
• 25:07
  his thought process went
• 25:08
  down a couple different
• 25:09
  paths at points of it.
• 25:10
  Like I think they were still
• 25:12
  in the refining process.
• 25:14
  So I don't know where they've landed.
• 25:19
  But it's interesting,
• 25:20
  at least the rumors of
• 25:22
  there being a competitor are true.
• 25:24
  And we know that now for a fact.
• 25:28
  We just don't know what it
• 25:29
  means or what it looks like.
• 25:32
  Yeah,
• 25:33
  I'm sure there's a lot to work
• 25:34
  through and work out.
• 25:35
  It's definitely time consuming.
• 25:40
  So I haven't listened to it,
• 25:41
  but you mentioned,
• 25:42
  did you listened all the
• 25:45
  way through on the Haley
• 25:47
  Adams Mayhem podcast?
• 25:48
  I did.
• 25:50
  And what are your takeaways from that?
• 25:53
  So,
• 25:55
  This is Haley's first
• 25:57
  interview with the Mayhem
• 25:58
  Media team since she's been back.
• 26:01
  And the interview was done by Rory.
• 26:03
  And I know that they were
• 26:04
  tight back in the day.
• 26:06
  So it's a very open and
• 26:09
  honest conversation.
• 26:10
  She talks more about her
• 26:12
  eating disorder in this
• 26:13
  than she does in anything else I've seen.
• 26:16
  talks about like the use of
• 26:17
  laxatives talks about how
• 26:19
  she had a nutrition coach
• 26:21
  but she was adding stuff to
• 26:23
  her log to make them think
• 26:25
  she was eating more than
• 26:26
  she was um but now that
• 26:30
  she's better she can't
• 26:32
  believe she was as
• 26:33
  successful as she was with
• 26:35
  the lack of nutrition that
• 26:37
  was going in so what is the
• 26:39
  potential of her moving forward yeah
• 26:44
  So that, that was really interesting.
• 26:46
  She also talked about that
• 26:49
  coming back to mayhem.
• 26:50
  She was afraid that people
• 26:51
  would be mad that she left.
• 26:54
  And, um,
• 26:55
  and she was really surprised at
• 26:56
  how welcoming they were to
• 26:58
  her coming back.
• 26:59
  And that she said over and over again,
• 27:01
  that she's never leaving again.
• 27:02
  Like this is where her home is,
• 27:06
  but she had to, yes.
• 27:08
  She had to get away because
• 27:10
  she felt guilty about any
• 27:11
  time she wasn't training.
• 27:13
  She had to get herself out
• 27:14
  of that environment to go
• 27:17
  basically be a kid, be a teenager, be,
• 27:20
  and do all those silly
• 27:24
  things that when she was training,
• 27:28
  didn't fit with trying to
• 27:29
  be a games champion.
• 27:30
  Yeah.
• 27:31
  Right.
• 27:32
  So she did nine months of no training.
• 27:35
  And then when she came back,
• 27:36
  she said it was, it was rough.
• 27:38
  Yeah, I'm sure.
• 27:39
  And she's glad that certain
• 27:41
  people didn't see her at
• 27:42
  that time because it was
• 27:46
  she questioned herself as
• 27:47
  to whether she could get
• 27:48
  back because it was really
• 27:51
  bad when she first came back.
• 27:54
  But it's really good.
• 27:58
  You can just sense her being
• 28:00
  different now than she was before.
• 28:03
  And again, she's what, twenty three?
• 28:05
  Yeah.
• 28:06
  Like so young.
• 28:08
  so yeah the maturity is
• 28:10
  adding into that as well um
• 28:13
  yeah she has more lived
• 28:14
  experience too like you know
• 28:19
  But Rory said at the end of
• 28:21
  it that they were pretty
• 28:23
  vague on some of the things
• 28:24
  because this is really just
• 28:27
  they wanted to have these
• 28:28
  conversations over and over again.
• 28:30
  And so they will keep
• 28:32
  bringing her back to talk
• 28:34
  some more and more.
• 28:35
  She wants to talk about all
• 28:37
  she went through to inspire
• 28:39
  others and make sure other
• 28:40
  people don't go down
• 28:42
  certain paths that maybe she did.
• 28:46
  Yeah.
• 28:48
  I feel like Ellie Turner was
• 28:49
  going to do something similar,
• 28:51
  but I haven't seen anything.
• 28:52
  I haven't seen anything.
• 28:56
  Yeah.
• 28:56
  Do you remember what I'm talking about,
• 28:57
  though?
• 28:59
  Yeah.
• 29:00
  Yeah, two years ago.
• 29:02
  She got hurt,
• 29:03
  and then Justin had bombed
• 29:05
  kind of that year,
• 29:06
  and they both came out on
• 29:08
  their YouTube podcast.
• 29:09
  They were going to travel.
• 29:10
  They were going to do this,
• 29:11
  and more of her things
• 29:14
  would be coming out.
• 29:16
  I think,
• 29:17
  I think a lot of people think it's
• 29:19
  easy to produce content, um,
• 29:23
  until they get into it.
• 29:24
  Like how many episodes did
• 29:26
  the daughter's podcast last?
• 29:28
  Three.
• 29:28
  Yeah.
• 29:30
  Right.
• 29:30
  Like it,
• 29:31
  a lot of people come out with
• 29:32
  these ideas and say, Hey,
• 29:33
  we're going to do this.
• 29:34
  We're going to do that.
• 29:35
  But it takes time to sit
• 29:36
  down at a microphone.
• 29:37
  It takes time to produce the stuff.
• 29:39
  It takes time to edit it.
• 29:41
  Like you have to be in it and.
• 29:45
  I think the thought of it is you're like,
• 29:48
  well, that'll be easy.
• 29:49
  I'll just hold a camera and talk into it.
• 29:52
  And then when you get into, you're like,
• 29:54
  wow, this is some work.
• 29:55
  Yeah.
• 29:56
  Yeah.
• 29:58
  And my priority is training
• 30:00
  and trying to win the games,
• 30:02
  not producing content.
• 30:04
  Right.
• 30:06
  Although you probably get more,
• 30:07
  more chance to make money
• 30:08
  producing content than
• 30:11
  winning at the games, but different,
• 30:13
  different goals.
• 30:13
  Yeah.
• 30:15
  Yeah.
• 30:15
  It's all about your sponsors
• 30:17
  and what their priority is.
• 30:18
  Right.
• 30:18
  Sure.
• 30:19
  Priority you performing at
• 30:21
  the games or is there a
• 30:22
  priority you putting out ads for them?
• 30:24
  Okay.
• 30:24
  Yeah.
• 30:25
  You know?
• 30:26
  Yeah.
• 30:26
  And some, some are, I mean,
• 30:29
  Tia does both Tia,
• 30:30
  like you go to her Instagram,
• 30:31
  it's all ads.
• 30:36
  But other people it's,
• 30:37
  they just do their training and,
• 30:41
  You see the grips they're
• 30:42
  wearing while they're doing toes-to-bar,
• 30:43
  and they don't really talk about it.
• 30:45
  You know?
• 30:46
  Yeah.
• 30:47
  So I think my – and just
• 30:52
  back on the rival leagues,
• 30:54
  my biggest fear is that
• 30:55
  CrossFit isn't big enough.
• 30:57
  This sport isn't big enough
• 30:59
  to handle divides at this point.
• 31:05
  Yes.
• 31:06
  But as the goal to make
• 31:07
  something from the ground,
• 31:10
  like that will thrive better.
• 31:14
  Well,
• 31:14
  I think that's what everybody's idea is.
• 31:16
  Yeah.
• 31:17
  If it,
• 31:18
  if four different leagues come in
• 31:20
  and a quarter of the
• 31:22
  athletes go to each one,
• 31:24
  then you've got watered
• 31:25
  down product in all four of them.
• 31:28
  And then do they all die?
• 31:29
  Yeah.
• 31:35
  jokingly yesterday on, uh,
• 31:37
  on around the whiteboard, uh, CPT from,
• 31:43
  or CTP from TTT.
• 31:45
  That's hard to say was
• 31:48
  jokingly comparing it to wrestling.
• 31:51
  But the reality was that WCW
• 31:55
  and WWE or WWF were two
• 31:58
  entities that could fight
• 32:01
  against each other and the
• 32:02
  strong survived in the end.
• 32:05
  And the other one went away
• 32:06
  or got bought out by the other.
• 32:09
  I don't think we're big
• 32:10
  enough at this point to have that happen.
• 32:15
  That actually elevated both
• 32:17
  of them for a while.
• 32:18
  And then WWE got elevated so
• 32:22
  much that they got better
• 32:24
  and they were able to take over.
• 32:27
  And his,
• 32:28
  his point was we need the
• 32:29
  competition to make people
• 32:32
  actually make change that
• 32:33
  is meaningful and get better.
• 32:35
  Yeah.
• 32:36
  I don't disagree with that concept.
• 32:39
  I just don't hope we're big
• 32:40
  enough to handle it.
• 32:42
  Sure.
• 32:46
  Because if a rival league
• 32:47
  comes and they compete and
• 32:48
  CrossFit actually makes
• 32:49
  change to compete back,
• 32:53
  then that's a good thing.
• 32:56
  And both are elevated.
• 32:58
  And then whichever one wins in the end,
• 33:00
  great.
• 33:00
  Whichever one doesn't,
• 33:03
  they go by the wayside.
• 33:04
  I don't know.
• 33:08
  I mean, it's happened in a lot of sports.
• 33:09
  AFL and the NFL were two
• 33:11
  leagues that combined into
• 33:13
  one eventually.
• 33:14
  Yeah.
• 33:19
  I just hope we're big enough
• 33:20
  to withstand the... Yeah.
• 33:33
  We'll see.
• 33:34
  We'll see what happens.
• 33:34
  And Corey says the XFL.
• 33:35
  The XFL was a bad league,
• 33:37
  but they had a lot of
• 33:38
  innovative ideas that
• 33:40
  actually moved over to the NFL.
• 33:43
  The reason you have that
• 33:44
  camera on the strings that
• 33:45
  goes over top the field was
• 33:47
  because the XFL tried that.
• 33:50
  because they wanted to put
• 33:51
  bring you inside the huddle
• 33:53
  and they wanted to now that
• 33:54
  stuff went away because
• 33:56
  nobody wants to give away
• 33:57
  the secrets but but the
• 33:59
  innovation that the xl file
• 34:01
  brought was top notch so
• 34:08
  all right well that's about
• 34:10
  our lunch and I have a one
• 34:11
  o'clock meeting okay
• 34:13
