Lunch with the Clydesdale = Day 2 at the Age Group CrossFit Games · Clydesdale Media Podcast

0:35
What is going on, everybody?
0:36
Welcome to Lunch with the Clydesdale.
0:39
We are live at the Columbus
0:41
Convention Center for the H
0:43
Group CrossFit Games.
0:46
Man, the vibes here are so cool.
0:49
Every master's out
0:50
competition I've ever been to.
0:54
I'm having such a good time down here.
0:58
I just told you Sam Briggs
0:59
just walked by me.
1:03
And everybody's just hanging out.
1:05
Like, there's no pretense.
1:07
There's no,
1:09
I got to hide here or whatever.
1:10
Everybody's just out everywhere.
1:13
Oh.
1:18
Judy says she's on the way.
1:19
Yeah.
1:22
Hey, boys.
1:23
Headed there now.
1:23
Scott, willing to come find you.
1:25
All right, cool.
1:26
Yeah.
1:31
Holly's here.
1:32
Speaking of Holly.
1:34
I have gotten so many
1:36
comments about her schedule
1:38
that she put out on both
1:41
hers and our channel that
1:43
there are people that are
1:45
working this event,
1:47
using it to get from event to event.
1:51
I mean, it's comprehensive.
1:53
People in the chat for the
1:56
live stream just now were
1:57
asking about trying to find a schedule,
1:59
and that's where I sent them.
2:00
I was like,
2:01
go look on Clydesdale Media's
2:04
Instagram because the schedule's there.
2:11
Jesus Christ, I know Holly's name,
2:12
and I can't think of it.
2:13
That's a shame.
2:16
DataWad.
2:17
DataWad, thank you.
2:17
I was like,
2:18
DataWad has it linked up there.
2:20
I said,
2:21
and it's pretty comprehensive for
2:22
every single day.
2:23
As a matter of fact,
2:23
one of my friends texted me
2:25
yesterday because we have
2:26
an E-MOM company athlete in .
2:28
I cannot find the schedule.
2:34
Said,
2:34
I cannot find the schedule to follow
2:37
Nick.
2:37
And I just sent her all of
2:39
the posts that Holly had
2:41
put up and linked to your stuff.
2:45
fantastic yeah someone
2:47
actually showed me they
2:49
they used the highlighter
2:51
on they copied it used a
2:52
highlighter on their phone
2:55
and they keep crossing them
2:56
off as they go so they know
2:58
where we're at in the day
2:59
and everything I I said to
3:01
the people like these
3:02
events need to hire her
3:04
yeah to put out that kind
3:06
of information in a small
3:10
and concise way that everybody can use
3:14
It's real easy to use.
3:15
It's really easy to access
3:17
and it's comprehensive.
3:19
Like everything's on there, not just,
3:21
you know, the thirty five,
3:22
thirty nine or whatnot.
3:23
Like she's got it all the
3:24
way up to the what is it,
3:27
the seventy plus or
3:27
whatever the oldest one is.
3:29
Like she's got everybody on there.
3:31
Yeah, she's awesome, which I mean,
3:34
she's never not done awesome.
3:36
So there's that.
3:39
Aaron Frazier,
3:40
Corey becoming a fixture of these shows.
3:44
What kind of it's I'm down
3:46
here in on location.
3:48
I don't know if things are
3:49
going to go awry.
3:51
It's nice to have someone
3:53
home that has stable
3:55
internet that we can
3:57
guarantee the show keeps going on.
4:01
I'm that dude.
4:07
He's trying to become one of
4:08
these athletes.
4:10
So his perspective is,
4:12
is warranted in this.
4:14
Yeah,
4:15
I messaged Megan Apostolaris yesterday,
4:19
like congratulating her because she had,
4:21
you know,
4:21
she had a pretty strong day yesterday.
4:22
She's like, are you here?
4:23
I said, no, not yet,
4:26
but I'm working on getting there.
4:29
And she's like, you know, just keep going.
4:31
You'll be here.
4:34
I said it'd be silly of me not to,
4:37
first of all,
4:37
pay attention to what's
4:38
going on this weekend.
4:39
Secondly,
4:40
to not support everybody that I
4:42
know that's there.
4:44
It's just not how I'm built.
4:46
I've been texting every
4:48
single person I know that's there,
4:49
that's competing.
4:52
Hey, just keep it up.
4:55
Mark says he just has to work out faster.
4:58
That's it.
4:58
That's the name of the game.
5:01
Working on it.
5:02
Fast work or out or
5:06
I'll also say that if you're not here,
5:10
it is all the floors are packed.
5:12
That's awesome.
5:15
The stands are packed.
5:17
The railings are packed.
5:20
Yesterday, on a Thursday, it was that way.
5:23
Thursday.
5:25
Now, we were only on one floor.
5:27
Today,
5:28
we spread out to two and three floors,
5:31
and all the floors are still packed.
5:35
So that is,
5:36
that is that we didn't see that
5:38
in Birmingham.
5:41
No, I remember.
5:43
That's awesome, dude.
5:44
It makes my heart happy that, you know,
5:45
everybody's there, athletes, you know,
5:47
checking it out,
5:48
watching a bunch of doing what they do.
5:55
Yeah.
5:56
And it's, it's pretty loud.
5:57
It's,
5:58
It's a nice, loud vibe.
6:01
You can hear it on the live stream.
6:03
Like, you can hear the people.
6:04
I mean, obviously,
6:05
you can also hear people
6:06
right next to the camera.
6:07
People are complaining about that,
6:09
which I understand the chat
6:14
on a live stream is always,
6:16
it's a crapshoot at best.
6:18
Chances are that now it's
6:18
going to be a shit show.
6:19
A lot of people complaining and blah, blah,
6:21
blah, whatever.
6:22
But, bro,
6:23
you can't control who's sitting
6:24
next to whatever camera is on there.
6:27
Like, you're going to hear those people.
6:29
Like,
6:30
unless the actual broadcast is going
6:32
on where they have a sound
6:33
for that turned down or
6:34
turned off or however they do it.
6:35
Like,
6:36
you're going to hear what's going on.
6:38
Like,
6:38
what are you complaining about it for?
6:40
Just look at God keep making
6:41
a fool out of himself.
6:42
He's just having a
6:43
conversation with the
6:44
person sitting next to him
6:45
about what's going on on the floor.
6:48
Like, why are you mad at that?
6:54
I'm sure if he knew,
6:55
he wouldn't be doing it.
6:57
He probably doesn't want the conversation.
7:01
Well, you can hear him talking,
7:02
but you can't really make
7:03
out necessarily what he's
7:06
saying or who he's talking about.
7:08
I mean, if you can,
7:09
you've got better ears than I do,
7:11
and my ears are pretty damn good.
7:13
Yeah,
7:14
Amanda is one hundred percent correct.
7:15
People just like to complain.
7:16
Yeah.
7:20
That's a fact.
7:21
It's a shame.
7:23
Better than the silence of the morning.
7:26
Some streams had no sound whatsoever.
7:31
At any given point there
7:32
were three different streams up.
7:34
They just put a notice out that
7:37
The stream that had the GHD
7:40
sandbag workout going on
7:42
was about to end and to
7:44
send people to this stream,
7:45
which is about to start.
7:46
So I assume that means that
7:47
Jason and Sean are about to
7:50
start calling whatever
7:52
action they're going to call for the day.
7:55
I just saw them head in
7:58
maybe twenty minutes ago.
8:01
Sounds about right.
8:02
I had a little pre-show
8:03
meeting and get their stuff
8:05
together to get ready.
8:08
Um, like I said, that's the vibe here.
8:10
Everybody's just hanging out.
8:12
So like you can see chase
8:13
and Sean and Tommy and
8:15
everybody just hanging out Bella.
8:17
Um, and then like, yeah,
8:22
it was a crazy day.
8:23
Like yesterday I told you this story,
8:27
but I'm sitting there and a
8:28
guy comes up to me.
8:29
He's like, Hey Scott, how you doing?
8:31
And I'm like,
8:33
I turned and I had my glasses
8:35
on yesterday.
8:36
the glare from the lights
8:37
here made it really hard to
8:39
focus with my transitional
8:41
lenses so like I have to
8:43
find the right yeah lens to
8:46
see who I'm talking to and
8:49
so as I'm doing that it
8:50
like gets clear and I'm
8:51
like oh hey it's andre who
8:54
day and I didn't mean to
8:56
rhyme I didn't mean to like
9:00
wrap his name out there um
9:04
I'm learning I'm just socially awkward.
9:07
You know what, though?
9:07
It works, brother.
9:08
It works.
9:09
Oh, hey, it's Andre Houdet.
9:11
Fancy seeing you today.
9:15
He goes, why, yes, I am.
9:18
As it turns out, that's me.
9:22
Yeah, that is me.
9:25
I have to be the most
9:25
socially awkward person
9:27
ever that gets on a camera and talks.
9:31
On purpose.
9:32
And that, like, yeah, Judy's right.
9:35
It's endearing.
9:37
It's endearing.
9:39
But what's awesome is, like,
9:40
we're just chatting.
9:42
And he's here coaching some teen athletes.
9:46
And I said, do you miss this?
9:50
Like, do you miss being out on the floor?
9:52
And he's like, no, not really.
9:55
I don't.
9:58
And I said,
10:00
ever like having plans to get
10:01
back out there someday when
10:07
maybe at the master's level or a team or,
10:10
and he's like,
10:13
I can't figure out balance.
10:17
And he's like, if I'm going to do it,
10:19
I'm going to go all in.
10:20
And that's why I stopped.
10:23
Yeah.
10:23
There's nothing else.
10:24
Blinders on.
10:25
Right.
10:26
And he said, that's not healthy for me.
10:28
And so, like,
10:30
I have to figure out how to
10:33
find that balance if I'm
10:34
ever going to step back out on the field.
10:36
It's hard to do, man.
10:39
So he's doing Brazilian jujitsu right now.
10:43
And he signed up for a
10:44
couple of competitions to test.
10:47
Can he do it for fun?
10:49
Good luck to him.
10:54
And he has people around him.
10:56
to, like, grab him if he can.
10:57
Yeah.
11:01
So from a competitor's
11:04
viewpoint and having kids
11:08
and having a life and
11:09
having all these other things, like,
11:10
you know,
11:11
I'm obviously not a twenty two
11:12
year old with no
11:13
responsibility other than a
11:14
train to compete.
11:16
It's hard for me sometimes.
11:18
Like, I want to get my morning session in.
11:20
I want to get my evening session in.
11:21
Well,
11:22
we got open house to bring Jameson
11:24
and go meet our teacher and
11:25
get all these things for school.
11:27
Okay, there goes my evening session.
11:28
Now I got to go do that.
11:29
And then the more I get into it,
11:33
the more I realize that
11:34
it's okay if I miss one, right?
11:38
Because of something that
11:39
actually makes sense.
11:39
It's the ones that...
11:41
The unexpected stuff that
11:43
comes up that drives me nuts.
11:44
Like the stuff that regular
11:45
life stuff I can deal with,
11:46
but the unexpected stuff
11:48
that comes up that I still
11:49
have to deal with still
11:50
eats at me a little bit,
11:52
but I'm getting better at it.
11:55
There's only a handful of
11:57
Matt Fraziers out there
11:58
that can shut off the world
12:01
and do his thing.
12:02
And like Jason Hopper is a
12:03
great testament to that.
12:05
He tried that life and it didn't work.
12:08
And now he's a CrossFit
12:10
Games champion with more
12:11
balance in his life.
12:13
And he's happier.
12:15
He straight up said like he
12:16
was miserable when he was
12:18
in Vermont because he was
12:19
cut off from everyone and
12:20
everything that he knew.
12:22
Amanda says it's easy to get
12:24
heavily focused on BJJ too.
12:27
That's where I came from to CrossFit.
12:28
It's a personality trait most of the time.
12:32
And he admits that.
12:35
um andre admitted that to me
12:36
yesterday like it he knows
12:38
it's a thing that he has to
12:40
overcome and he's just
12:42
trying it with something
12:43
different I think a lot of
12:46
us that have that
12:47
competitive mindset do like
12:49
it's hard to switch off
12:50
like if I drop into a class
12:54
workout at my gym I want to
12:55
destroy everybody there
12:58
And I want to have the top
12:59
talent on the leaderboard.
13:00
I don't care who.
13:01
Like, it could have been one person.
13:02
It could have been Miss Claudia,
13:03
who's eighty-four, eighty-five years old.
13:05
I want to smash her.
13:07
And I love Miss Claudia.
13:08
She's awesome.
13:09
But she's also eighty-something years old.
13:11
And I don't care.
13:12
Like,
13:12
I don't want to leave her in the dust.
13:15
And it's hard for me to turn
13:16
that off and just go and
13:17
enjoy myself and be with
13:19
the community sometimes.
13:21
Cause I started, you know,
13:23
I can even say that and then three, two,
13:24
one go.
13:25
And then like, nope,
13:26
blinders on time to go destroy,
13:29
beat myself into the floor.
13:31
And that extends and it
13:33
extends and extends.
13:35
If you don't get a handle on it, it can be,
13:37
it can, it can be pretty bad.
13:40
Yeah.
13:40
It's, it's the part, like I, you know,
13:43
did my confessions of a fat
13:44
man on Monday or whatever it was.
13:46
And, you know, that's what I talked about,
13:48
like finding that balance for me.
13:50
Like,
13:50
I know how to lose weight in a way
13:52
that is not healthy for my family.
13:54
Yeah.
13:56
Like,
13:56
how do I do it in a way that's
13:58
healthy for all of us?
14:01
Right.
14:04
And I got to figure that out somehow.
14:08
Balance, brother, man.
14:09
Balance.
14:10
You'll get it.
14:11
I have no doubt.
14:13
Mark Phillips.
14:14
I'll just go easy today.
14:15
Said many times, never fulfilled.
14:20
CrossFit is probably the
14:21
thing I've been most
14:22
competitive obsessed with,
14:24
and I've done many other sports,
14:25
but I'm like Corey.
14:27
I want to be the best at
14:28
whatever I'm doing.
14:28
Dude,
14:31
when I was playing in the adult
14:37
soccer league,
14:38
I never had soccer growing up as a kid.
14:40
South Louisiana, it's a thing,
14:42
but it wasn't a thing where I lived.
14:45
So I just started playing
14:46
when I was thirty years old,
14:48
something like that, thirty, thirty-one.
14:50
And once I was like, oh, this is fun.
14:55
I can play on a team on Sunday.
14:57
Oh, well, I want to get better.
15:00
So I started running to get
15:01
in better shape for soccer.
15:03
I consumed every piece of
15:04
soccer content that I could
15:05
find to try to learn, try to look, see,
15:09
blah, blah, whatever,
15:10
because I wanted to be as
15:12
good as I possibly could,
15:14
even having no background whatsoever.
15:18
And that leads to,
15:21
I played in an adult
15:23
over-thirty league in Baton Rouge.
15:26
They played on Tuesday and
15:28
Thursday nights.
15:30
And the first night I signed up,
15:31
I didn't know anybody.
15:32
They just put me on a team.
15:34
And I made one run from deep
15:36
midfield all the way up,
15:37
and I was the fastest guy on the field.
15:40
And that shouldn't be a thing.
15:41
Like, I'm quick.
15:42
There's no reason I should
15:43
be the fastest guy on the soccer field.
15:45
And at halftime,
15:47
they wanted to see if I
15:48
wanted to go play striker up top.
15:49
And I was like, no, that's not what I do.
15:52
But it's just from, like,
15:54
I wanted the ball.
15:55
I wanted to get out there.
15:56
I wanted to go do.
15:57
And I was willing to just
15:58
work harder and be faster
16:00
than anybody out there.
16:01
And there's a bunch of guys
16:01
that were just out there trying to be –
16:03
semi-competitive and have a
16:04
little fun kicking the ball
16:05
around I'm not that dude
16:06
yeah yeah I've actually
16:14
after it went on my fifties
16:16
that dialed down a little
16:17
bit uh because of necessity
16:20
and I you know now I gotta
16:22
just kind of figure it out
16:24
but on to the next thing uh
16:27
this morning's workout was rough
16:33
And now I see, like,
16:37
we've been saying all along
16:38
that having an AMRAP in an
16:40
event like this is just not
16:42
fair to the winner.
16:45
That thing took some souls this morning.
16:48
And the winners that had to go,
16:50
the extra reps,
16:52
and if you're being
16:53
competitive and you know you need, like,
16:56
every last rep because, like, in –
17:00
Jamie's division,
17:01
it was two reps between her
17:03
and second place.
17:06
And after eighteen minutes,
17:07
it comes down to two reps.
17:10
And those are two total bars.
17:11
It's not even like a long rep.
17:16
And Carolyn's heats were so close.
17:22
Yeah, I can believe that.
17:24
It was just insane.
17:27
But it was...
17:29
I actually liked the event,
17:30
the way it played out.
17:32
I did not watch the older group,
17:34
but I watched fifty or
17:36
forty nine down this morning.
17:39
And the pistols were awesome
17:42
because they it was either
17:44
people flew through them or
17:47
they did some damage.
17:49
Yeah.
17:50
Well, with the weight,
17:51
it makes it a little easier
17:52
to do because it drives you down.
17:55
It's going to force.
17:55
And now if you don't have
17:57
that ankle mobility,
17:58
you're going to still have
17:59
a bad time regardless.
18:01
But the weight,
18:01
it does make it a little bit.
18:02
It's a blessing and a curse
18:05
at the same time because
18:06
it'll help you get down easier.
18:08
But then you got to stand
18:09
back up and you hold on to it.
18:10
So it's a little bit more
18:11
taxing as far as that's concerned.
18:13
I will say this,
18:13
and I was thinking about
18:14
this this morning watching Jamie go,
18:16
and I talked to her about it yesterday.
18:17
She was a little upset
18:18
because she was going to be
18:20
in the first heat and not the second.
18:22
And so for somebody like her
18:23
who ended up in the first heat,
18:25
you have no idea what you need to do.
18:27
You just know that you got
18:27
to go hard because the
18:29
girls that are coming
18:29
behind you are going to smash it, right?
18:33
So you got to kind of – you
18:35
don't really have a choice
18:36
but to put the hammer down
18:38
and see what happens,
18:39
which is going to drag you
18:41
down for the rest of the day,
18:43
because you're going to end
18:43
up doing more work than everybody else.
18:46
In Jamie's case,
18:47
when she came out third overall now,
18:49
I know she won her heat.
18:51
So,
18:52
so she had the advantage that someone
18:56
pushed her in her heat.
18:58
I think fourth or fifth
18:59
place came in her heat.
19:00
Um,
19:02
so it did push her a little bit and
19:04
they were, Jimmy was behind her at times.
19:08
in that workout.
19:09
So that really helped a lot.
19:11
But that,
19:12
she was in fifteenth or sixteenth
19:14
place coming in,
19:16
and she jumped to sixth
19:17
with that workout.
19:18
Sixth.
19:20
Yeah.
19:20
One point behind Becca Boyd.
19:21
Excuse me.
19:23
Becca Boyd, no.
19:26
Carolyn came in in second,
19:28
went out in second.
19:30
I think she took like a
19:30
fifth in that workout, maybe.
19:32
I got it right here.
19:33
I got it right here.
19:36
Fourth or fifth.
19:39
He got fifth.
19:41
Got fifth.
19:41
Three hundred and two reps.
19:45
I want to address this.
19:47
Trent Olive says,
19:49
Miller got some questionable clean reps,
19:52
which may have been the
19:52
standard they were told.
19:54
Yes, it was the standard they were told.
19:57
Yeah.
19:58
And if you give them that standard,
19:59
they're going to take it.
20:00
Yeah.
20:02
And
20:04
I think people are taking
20:05
what he says as being like, oh,
20:07
these are no reps.
20:08
Well, they're not no reps.
20:09
I think what he was trying to point out,
20:11
the fact is that this is
20:12
the standard they were given.
20:13
And it looks like poop.
20:14
Yeah,
20:17
it looks bad because it just looks
20:18
like it just.
20:20
Well, that's the standard they were given.
20:21
If I'm out there,
20:22
I'm doing the same thing.
20:24
And that's what I'm fixing
20:25
to go out there and do,
20:27
even if I have to adjust it.
20:28
And Jamie was talking about it.
20:30
She went and talked to CJ
20:31
and them for a little bit
20:33
after she got done.
20:35
And they asked her about it.
20:36
And she said,
20:36
I'm so used to doing it the correct way,
20:40
right?
20:40
If I'm going to do that,
20:41
they're going to come all
20:42
the way up to my shoulders.
20:43
I wasn't going to be out in front,
20:44
et cetera, that it's hard for me to.
20:48
turn that off and go, well,
20:51
I'm just going to do them
20:51
to whatever their standard is.
20:53
She said she practiced a
20:54
couple of them to the
20:55
standard in the warm-up area,
20:57
and it was a nightmare for
20:59
her because she doesn't
21:00
know how to not move well.
21:04
And I can identify with that.
21:07
I think I am lucky in the
21:08
fact that I can probably –
21:11
Not that I move terribly,
21:13
but that I can figure out how to,
21:16
I'm just going to do them
21:16
like this and see what I
21:18
can get away with.
21:20
And if that's the actual standard,
21:21
then that's what we're going to roll.
21:23
So if I was out there,
21:24
I would like to think anyway,
21:26
I would be able to kind of
21:27
adapt on the fly and roll.
21:30
I don't think it affected
21:31
her finish at all.
21:34
No, she's so like,
21:35
it doesn't really matter.
21:36
She can still do them to the
21:37
standard that she knows,
21:39
which is still within the
21:40
standard of the rules and
21:41
still fly through it.
21:43
I think Carolyn was more
21:44
effective than Jamie.
21:48
I didn't get to see Carolyn.
21:49
I just saw, I saw the end,
21:51
the end part of Jamie's by
21:52
the time I got to work.
21:54
Yeah.
21:56
Mark,
21:56
thanks for answering CK Kevin's question.
22:02
It's hard to do slumpy reps.
22:04
It's actually harder.
22:05
The questionable thruster reps, though,
22:08
those are real.
22:09
I didn't see a lot in person,
22:11
and I had a side view.
22:14
Lockout.
22:15
That's what I missed.
22:16
I couldn't really see that from the side.
22:19
Lockout.
22:19
From what I saw,
22:20
most people were hitting depth,
22:22
but there was a lot of this, right,
22:25
where your arms are all the
22:26
way up instead of being here.
22:31
Yeah.
22:33
I mean, what are you going to do?
22:35
Yeah.
22:37
Again, they're running four floors here,
22:40
and that means they need
22:41
four floors of judges,
22:43
plus more to get breaks for the judges.
22:48
It's a volunteer nightmare.
22:49
Yeah.
22:51
I mean, God bless them, dude.
22:52
I can't imagine the logistics of that.
22:54
It's got to be a nightmare.
22:56
It has to be a nightmare.
23:02
I actually sat and talked to
23:03
Carolyn last night.
23:06
I'm doing these five to
23:08
seven minute little
23:09
interviews with athletes
23:11
that we're going to put
23:11
together with some floor footage.
23:17
In that,
23:18
we got deeper than we get on the show.
23:22
A little teaser,
23:24
it is such a good conversation with her.
23:28
She really talks about what
23:31
what this means to her,
23:34
which is more than I even knew.
23:37
I've got to say,
23:37
she never really talked
23:39
about that kind of stuff.
23:40
That's awesome.
23:41
Yeah.
23:43
And she, it is,
23:47
it is like almost getting
23:50
me fired up type vibes that
23:52
come out of this.
23:53
Like when she talks in like absolutes,
23:56
like I am going to, I am,
23:59
it was really cool to see.
24:03
That's fantastic, dude.
24:08
You're welcome, Tristan.
24:13
I did get to talk to Boz yesterday.
24:15
It was funny.
24:18
I was sitting on the bench.
24:19
Speaking of the devil, right there he is.
24:21
I was sitting on the bench
24:23
yesterday talking to Lex and Carolyn.
24:26
They were like, hey, there's Boz.
24:27
I was like, I got to talk to him.
24:29
I ran.
24:31
I just had to know.
24:33
He goes, I said, I have to know.
24:34
He goes, what's up?
24:35
But I'm like, you love gymnastics.
24:38
Where are the gymnastics in this?
24:40
It's a fantastic question.
24:45
And he said,
24:46
there's two workouts with gymnastics.
24:48
I said, but boss,
24:49
one of them is after the cut.
24:52
Like, you get one event, like,
24:54
before the cut.
24:55
And he's like,
24:57
and then he started telling
24:58
the company a lot.
24:59
Yeah.
25:03
Okay, so there's two,
25:05
and there's eight workouts.
25:07
Now,
25:08
I'm no mathematician by any stretch of
25:11
imagination,
25:13
but basic math says that that's what?
25:17
Not even twenty percent?
25:18
I don't even know.
25:20
Like, that's not a whole lot, bro.
25:21
Well, twenty-five percent,
25:24
but half the field doesn't
25:25
get to do one of them.
25:27
There you go.
25:32
But, you know,
25:35
the nuance of the
25:35
conversation was I felt
25:37
like he felt a certain way
25:39
but wasn't willing to tell me that.
25:42
Well,
25:42
I'm not telling you because you are
25:43
the media.
25:44
Damn sure I ain't telling you.
25:45
If he's going to tell anybody,
25:46
it's probably not going to be Scott.
25:50
Yeah, my days of, hey,
25:52
you used to be my head
25:53
judge are kind of over.
25:55
Yeah, a little bit.
26:01
Yeah.
26:01
So you saw Dave there?
26:04
no dave no dave don falls
26:06
here oh all right he came
26:10
up and said hi yesterday um
26:13
so we got to chat with him
26:15
for a second um nothing I
26:18
you know he didn't tell me
26:19
anything about the sale or
26:20
anything no I imagine now
26:22
he didn't just offer that
26:23
up how's it going you want
26:25
to talk about this upcoming
26:26
sale yeah can you give me a list of the
26:32
Proposed buyers?
26:34
No.
26:34
Just let me know who's on the list.
26:36
Don, that's really all I want to know.
26:40
Yeah.
26:41
He did not throw up any of that.
26:43
Shocking.
26:45
I'll tell you what, though.
26:47
Stelling may have made him healthier.
26:50
He looked better than I've
26:51
seen him in a year.
26:53
Good,
26:53
because the last couple of times I
26:54
saw him on camera, he did not look okay.
26:57
He looks like he's put some weight on.
27:01
Like some color back in his skin.
27:07
He's not nearly as pale as he was before.
27:09
That's fantastic.
27:11
Yeah.
27:13
And maybe they're past the
27:15
Lazar situation to where he
27:17
can function again.
27:20
Maybe.
27:21
I don't know.
27:23
I don't know who – I don't
27:24
remember who it was that
27:25
was talking about it, but –
27:27
Whoever said that the games
27:28
this year felt like it was
27:30
okay for them to be celebrating again,
27:32
like it was okay for
27:33
everybody to have a good time again.
27:35
I thought that made a lot of sense.
27:42
It is all happy vibes here, man.
27:45
I got FOMO, dude.
27:47
No question about it.
27:49
One of the highlights I had
27:51
today is Ty Jenkins is here
27:53
calling the floor –
27:56
He is floor announcing.
27:57
He's doing a hell of a job, man.
27:59
We can hear him whenever floor he's on.
28:03
When they're just doing just
28:05
the camera or whatnot, you can hear him.
28:07
He sounds like he's doing a good job.
28:08
Especially as young as he is, dude,
28:11
he sounds confident.
28:13
It helps that he knows what's going on.
28:15
Does that make sense?
28:16
Like,
28:16
he's not just some dude they pulled
28:17
off the street.
28:18
Like, he knows that, you know,
28:21
if we're holding this pace on the rower,
28:22
that's a good thing.
28:23
He knows that, you know, hey,
28:25
these things are not easy to do.
28:26
And we can kind of highlight
28:27
the fact that we are moving
28:28
through this at a good clip.
28:30
So the highlights for me are
28:32
when he's like,
28:35
you've got twenty seconds.
28:36
If you want to get any toes
28:37
tomorrow and you better you better go.
28:40
Yeah, I heard him.
28:41
You know, when Jamie see.
28:43
Yeah.
28:44
Yeah.
28:46
uh, what she flew, dude,
28:48
I saw that part of it.
28:49
Like she ran to the freaking board,
28:51
took a second,
28:52
jumped up and got like five, right,
28:54
right at the, uh, right at the end.
28:55
That was fantastic.
28:57
Yeah.
28:59
She needed that to stay
29:00
within a point of Becca Voigt Miller.
29:04
Um, but yeah, she's killing dude.
29:07
There's a whole lot of competition left,
29:08
man.
29:09
I mean, it's three workouts.
29:09
She's got five left to go.
29:12
Uh, talk to Denise more today.
29:15
Um,
29:16
she's like always classified
29:17
herself as a lifter she
29:19
finished higher in the run
29:21
than she did in the lift
29:26
hey bro everybody lifted
29:28
heavy yesterday it was it
29:31
was insane um it was a fun
29:34
to watch event I wish you
29:36
could have seen more than
29:37
one athlete at a time yeah
29:38
you know I we talked about
29:41
the simple math
29:44
to be able to rotate through
29:46
at least a few?
29:49
The problem came in
29:50
yesterday was that when
29:52
everybody's going at once,
29:53
which is what we talked about,
29:55
even for Chase and Sean
29:56
trying to cover it,
29:57
it looks like there's only
30:00
one camera on the floor.
30:02
So if you've got three
30:03
people going at a time,
30:04
it's a whole lot easier for one guy to go,
30:06
okay, what's this person doing?
30:07
What's this person doing?
30:08
What's this person doing?
30:09
Especially if you've got a
30:10
headset listening to Sean now.
30:12
We can kind of go from there
30:13
and then the next three, the next three,
30:15
the next three,
30:15
as opposed to one person just kind of, uh,
30:18
and here's Mark Juan Jones.
30:20
Cool.
30:20
Well, while Mark Juan's doing this,
30:22
somebody else is lifting crazy on the,
30:24
on the other side of the floor.
30:27
I mean, it's just not,
30:29
the floor now just couldn't even keep up.
30:31
I'd imagine not.
30:32
It's too much.
30:34
What they were doing three
30:34
heats at a time or three heats at a time,
30:36
right.
30:36
For the lift.
30:37
So that's what, ten people at a time.
30:40
That's a lot.
30:41
Yeah.
30:42
That's a lot, especially .
30:47
What do I do?
30:48
Well,
30:49
one thing I know for sure is I'm not
30:51
good at predicting lifting numbers.
30:54
I told you it was going to be hard.
30:56
I told you it was going to be hard.
30:59
I was impressed.
31:00
You grew up hit .
31:01
He said that was unexpected.
31:03
He wasn't expecting to do that.
31:07
Panchick missed three forty five,
31:09
but hit three forty or hit three thirty,
31:12
whatever it was, three thirty five,
31:14
something like that.
31:15
I kind of figured he'd be
31:16
somewhere around there.
31:17
Chico Quesada is a mountain of a man.
31:21
That dude lifted the house yesterday.
31:24
Marquand,
31:25
like there's a lot of a lot of big lifts,
31:28
a lot of big lifts.
31:29
And I feel like I didn't go
31:30
look at the board,
31:31
but I feel like Graham had a big one.
31:34
So that Graham had a big one.
31:37
No, I didn't want to say that.
31:38
At three-thirty-five or three-thirty-five,
31:40
something like that?
31:40
Three-thirty-five, something like that,
31:41
yeah.
31:42
He was... But I would never say that, like,
31:46
Graham is a big lifter.
31:49
No, never was, not when he was competing.
31:52
I mean, he could lift, but that wasn't,
31:54
like, his thing.
31:57
There she is right there.
32:05
She avoids me at these things, man.
32:07
I cannot get her on tape.
32:11
I was impressed that she
32:13
went and talked to CJ in
32:13
there this morning after she got done.
32:16
He keeps stealing all my girls, man.
32:18
There might be a rumble out
32:20
in the parking lot.
32:27
And then on the women's side, dude,
32:29
like there was a lot of two
32:31
hundred plus lips on the
32:32
women's side yesterday that
32:33
I was not necessarily expecting to see.
32:35
That was pretty bad.
32:36
That's pretty awesome.
32:45
She's lying.
32:47
She'll be too hungry or something.
32:51
Food becomes way more
32:52
important when we're
32:52
friends at these events.
32:57
Can't blame her.
32:59
I know.
32:59
It's all good, though.
33:00
Can't blame her.
33:01
I can't remember what I was going to say.
33:09
She's got a five-thirty
33:10
dinner reservation.
33:12
Is it at Casa de Schweitzer?
33:16
Miss Latimer?
33:19
Dude, I get home last night.
33:21
My wife had eaten out by herself.
33:25
And so I got home to leftovers.
33:28
Pulled what I want out of the fridge.
33:35
And
33:36
You'd think after thirty
33:38
years I should get at least
33:40
a hot meal after I work all day.
33:43
Not even that, Scott.
33:44
How about, hey, I'm going to get this.
33:47
Do you want me to order you
33:48
something while I'm there?
33:49
Not even that, man.
33:53
Goodness, dude.
33:54
Goodness.
33:56
Oh, a five thirty dinner reservation.
33:58
I cannot imagine making
33:59
dinner reservations while
34:00
I'm at a competition,
34:02
especially in the middle of it.
34:04
Where you at?
34:04
Day two.
34:04
What are you doing at night?
34:05
We're going to have dinner
34:06
at this restaurant down the street.
34:09
One thing I know for sure, for sure,
34:14
is I have traveled with Jamie.
34:18
And the one thing about
34:19
Jamie is food is number one.
34:22
Well, you know, she's going to eat.
34:24
Whenever we are done at an event,
34:26
it's like, where are we eating?
34:28
How are we getting there right now?
34:30
Do we need to go back to the hotel?
34:31
Hope not.
34:33
Yeah.
34:34
What's the plan?
34:35
And then we get there and I
34:37
order my chicken salad and
34:39
she's got like a T-bone,
34:41
a ribeye and a burger.
34:44
Dude,
34:44
we did hibachi when we were in
34:48
Indiana and that girl can eat.
34:51
like jesus christ she had
34:53
like all the hibachi rice
34:54
was like piled up and she
34:56
was just shoveling that in
34:58
eating the steak or shrimp
34:59
whatever else she got like
35:00
I remember that clearly and
35:02
she kind of because I kind
35:03
of looked at her and she
35:04
was like I can eat whatever
35:06
I want or I do eat whatever
35:07
I want I was like all right
35:09
must be nice because I
35:11
cannot uh nice shirts got
35:15
new now this was made last
35:16
year this is the old
35:21
It was a test run that we
35:23
never got fully made.
35:26
That's the logo that, what's his face,
35:28
man?
35:32
Jamie Tostad, I love.
35:34
No, yeah, absolutely.
35:36
I would go eat dinner with Jamie.
35:37
If I was in Columbus,
35:38
I would go make
35:39
reservations to eat at
35:41
dinner with Jamie tonight.
35:44
Just saying.
35:46
My girl, man.
35:49
She's an absolute monster.
35:53
Yeah,
35:53
it's as hard as she worked on that
35:54
last one.
35:56
She deserves some food tonight.
36:04
I said,
36:04
watching her with whatever it was like,
36:07
not even thirty seconds
36:08
left to run back to the
36:09
ball and make sure she got
36:10
some throw the ball in.
36:14
That's a killer move right there.
36:16
That's a killer move.
36:20
Here's my one complaint for the weekend.
36:22
Probably not.
36:23
Here we go.
36:24
Probably not.
36:25
Okay.
36:27
So last year I did an eleven
36:29
episode behind the scenes.
36:31
Yep.
36:33
I worked with them to help
36:34
get them some stuff here.
36:37
And I just wanted media access.
36:40
And it turns out that
36:40
essentially I have
36:42
spectator level with access
36:47
to one room where I can go hang out.
36:51
Which I don't even use.
36:53
I'm about to say,
36:53
cause you're not in there right now.
36:57
And then I'm out watching
37:00
Jamie and Carolyn and sure
37:04
as shit out on the floor is
37:09
Patrick Clark from Be Friendly Fitness.
37:12
How much masters coverage have they done?
37:14
None.
37:21
And their numbers aren't any
37:22
better than ours.
37:23
No.
37:24
You get more live viewers than they do.
37:26
I'm going to tell you that right now.
37:31
Man,
37:32
I went years without saying stuff and
37:34
saying names.
37:35
God, I feel like going scorched earth.
37:39
I don't understand it.
37:40
I really, really, really,
37:42
really do not understand it.
37:45
I mean,
37:45
we're going to do fine and we're
37:46
going to have a nice
37:47
product at the end of this, but damn it.
37:50
Like,
37:51
Where is the partnership?
37:55
What are they going to do to
37:57
promote their event?
37:59
Where is the actual media coverage?
38:02
Because they gave you, oh,
38:04
here's your media coverage.
38:05
You just gave me a pass for the weekend.
38:09
That's all.
38:10
That's literally what they did.
38:11
And like you said,
38:12
they gave you a little one
38:13
that you're not even using.
38:16
And from what everybody says,
38:16
that place is ginormous.
38:18
So it's not like it's a space issue,
38:19
right?
38:22
So what did OPC and the
38:25
clubs do that y'all did, or you did,
38:28
I should say?
38:32
You have masters co-hosts.
38:34
Yeah.
38:37
Two of them that are doing
38:39
fantastically well so far.
38:47
It just sucks.
38:49
I don't even know what else
38:49
to say about it.
38:51
if that's really all there
38:52
is to say about it at this point.
38:54
I mean, what else are you going to say?
38:57
It just doesn't make any sense.
38:59
It's... And not like it
39:03
would change my... So my
39:05
videographer would be nice
39:06
to be... It would be nice
39:07
to be able to get a clear
39:08
shot of an athlete on the floor.
39:11
Because I've been trying to
39:12
get like Jamie and Karen
39:13
shots just for them.
39:15
And to do it from the
39:16
sideline with eighteen
39:19
photographers on the floor
39:21
and spectators and all the other stuff,
39:25
it's really hard to get a clear shot.
39:29
Man, and athletes, people, judges,
39:31
everybody's moving back and forth, and,
39:32
like, you're trying to,
39:33
and you only got so many
39:34
angles from the sideline.
39:38
Yep.
39:39
And there's people lined up at the rail.
39:40
I saw that on the live stream,
39:41
so it might be just kind of, hey,
39:43
I'm sorry.
39:45
I know you're looking at this person,
39:46
but can I elbow in right
39:47
here and put my camera on?
39:52
So I may have said something
39:55
to Boz about that.
39:58
I did not name Shanna.
39:59
Right.
40:01
But I said,
40:02
when Boz says that he was
40:03
looking for female testers, I said,
40:08
I know of one in fact that
40:11
asked and got nothing back.
40:19
What was that reaction?
40:21
He said, that's very interesting.
40:27
He said,
40:27
because we use female testers all
40:29
the time for the games.
40:31
Well, yeah.
40:33
Why wouldn't you?
40:34
They're also competing.
40:38
I am not a female master.
40:40
I'm not a female athlete.
40:41
I can't go test something
40:42
for a female and see what
40:44
it's going to... You can
40:47
get an estimation,
40:48
but it's not going to be
40:49
the same thing as if
40:51
jamie was doing it right
40:54
she's fitter than I am for
40:56
one secondly it's not the
40:58
same stimulus as it is for
40:59
me as it is for her
41:00
depending on what the
41:01
workout is so like it's
41:04
that's god that's
41:05
frustrating that is I know
41:10
we said it yesterday and
41:11
I'll say it one more time
41:12
the pool is huge
41:16
To reach into,
41:18
or just even put something out.
41:19
Hey,
41:20
we're looking for people and then
41:21
people go, yep.
41:22
I will gladly test some of
41:23
this stuff for you.
41:25
Well,
41:26
there's always people in the master's
41:27
world taking the year off.
41:32
Like Shannon took this year off.
41:33
She's available.
41:35
There's a lot of people when
41:36
you're in the middle of the, of the,
41:39
of the bracket that you
41:40
just take the year off or.
41:49
So, yeah.
41:53
There's always that.
41:55
They step away from competing,
41:56
but they're still training.
41:59
They're still training at a high level,
42:00
right?
42:00
But there's, no,
42:01
I'm just not going to compete this year.
42:03
Not feeling it, blah, blah, whatever.
42:05
Perfect people to go ahead
42:07
and test something and get you,
42:08
at the very least,
42:09
get you an idea of what
42:10
it's going to feel like for
42:11
that specific group.
42:12
Yep.
42:17
Ah.
42:18
Yeah.
42:19
Dead horse has been beaten.
42:20
It's so frustrating.
42:24
Dead horse has been beaten.
42:27
It's annoying.
42:29
Well,
42:30
we have... Quad prep alone as a team
42:37
of Masters athletes at a
42:39
solidly good level that could help.
42:43
I'm...
42:47
Baby says she'll test next year.
43:02
I talked about directly last
43:03
year and Joe last fall at a
43:05
comp in Arizona said I
43:07
would test if they wanted.
43:15
It's crazy, we're just.
43:17
Makes no damn sense.
43:19
You don't have any excuse at that point.
43:23
Like,
43:24
and I still haven't got a chance to
43:25
watch it yet,
43:26
but like when CJ and I were
43:27
talking about it, they asked him about,
43:30
did you all test?
43:30
Did you get anybody else to test?
43:31
Well,
43:32
I said they didn't have an answer for it.
43:33
Well,
43:33
you don't have an answer for it
43:34
because there's somebody
43:35
right there saying that, no, no, no, no,
43:36
I offered.
43:38
One hundred percent to go
43:40
ahead and test whatever they had.
43:41
Yep.
43:46
And here we are.
43:51
All right.
43:59
It gets the best of us, man.
44:02
It is a thing, as it turns out.
44:07
It's a very powerful thing.
44:10
Yeah.
44:11
Three-letter words, very powerful word.
44:16
Is it that or is it, I mean,
44:18
I don't know what else it could be.
44:24
It has to be that, man.
44:26
It has to be ego.
44:28
It has to be that they think they know,
44:32
so it doesn't need to be tested.
44:35
It has to be that.
44:36
There's no other answer.
44:38
I cannot fathom writing a workout,
44:44
looking at it for a competition, mind you,
44:48
looking at it and going, yep,
44:50
we're going with that.
44:52
and not doing anything else beyond that.
44:54
Not modifying it, not changing it,
44:56
not trying it out and then
44:57
modifying it and changing
44:59
it and just looking at evolving it,
45:02
right?
45:02
Whatever the case may be.
45:09
Fear of leaks is all I can come up with,
45:11
which is weak sauce.
45:13
Very much so.
45:17
Here's the thing.
45:19
The gains test.
45:21
everything yeah the athlete
45:25
where there's three hundred
45:26
thousand dollars on the
45:27
line the masters has how
45:31
many different divisions
45:32
with how many different age
45:34
groups without how many
45:36
different skill levels and
45:38
you just know right you
45:41
just know no you don't oh yeah
45:51
It's silly.
45:51
I miss program stuff all the
45:53
time for my people.
45:56
It'll be a bit longer or
45:57
shorter or harder in a
45:59
different way than I originally intended.
46:01
Yeah.
46:09
Our gym runs a comp and our
46:10
owners are former
46:11
individual and team games athletes,
46:13
and they still have others test for them.
46:21
If I ran a comp,
46:21
I couldn't imagine not
46:22
testing each workout five
46:24
to seven times in different ways.
46:29
They could have athletes
46:32
test certain pieces without
46:34
giving the full workout
46:35
better gauge than just guessing.
46:38
Dude,
46:40
I don't know if it was last year or
46:41
year before last,
46:42
we had a competition that my gym put on.
46:45
So as local as it gets,
46:48
three workouts plus a floater,
46:51
and we tested those
46:52
workouts at least three or
46:53
four times each.
46:55
And it's not at any kind of
46:58
level that this is at, right?
46:59
It's just local level team
47:01
competition going on, blah, blah, blah,
47:03
and we tested the shit out
47:04
of those things to make
47:06
sure that they were going
47:07
to be appropriate for what we were doing.
47:08
Yeah.
47:08
Yeah.
47:08
Yeah.
47:15
I think that's another dead
47:16
horse that's been beaten this week.
47:18
Yeah.
47:20
But I think that's all you
47:23
can do about it now.
47:25
We're already in motion.
47:29
All right.
47:29
We've got the GHG workout
47:30
coming up this afternoon.
47:34
You good for tomorrow?
47:37
Should be.
47:37
A little weekend lunch, brunch?
47:40
Yeah.
47:41
I'm going to go train in the
47:42
morning and then...
47:44
We're going to church tomorrow afternoon,
47:47
but that ain't until four
47:48
o'clock my time.
47:48
So lunchtime should be fine.
47:52
Awesome.
47:55
Well, guys, I'm here at the games.
47:57
The rest of you knuckleheads
47:58
need to get back to work.
48:00
So with that, I'm having a blast here.
48:03
Glad we can at least do some shows.
48:06
And thanks, Corey,
48:07
for jumping on to help me out with that.
48:10
We'll see everybody tomorrow.
48:13
live at the CrossFit Games,
48:15
age group style, tomorrow.
