Lunch with the Clydesdale - Easter is Over and Now the Craziness Begins · Clydesdale Media Podcast

0:31
What's going on, everybody,
0:33
it is lunchtime.
0:35
And how do we spend our lunch,
0:36
we spend our lunch hanging out, chatting,
0:39
talking about all the
0:39
things that are going on in the world,
0:43
and especially in the CrossFit space.
0:46
But before we get started, start time,
0:52
dark time, here we go.
0:56
Man, I keep missing just high and left.
1:01
put that just about where I
1:02
put last friday's dart um
1:05
right there by the nine man
1:07
I gotta get lower all right
1:11
cool we'll keep working on
1:12
it what is up craig what is
1:14
up cory what is up kenneth
1:15
kenneth I don't know if
1:16
you've noticed uh going
1:18
full beard for you buddy I
1:21
know you like it when I get
1:22
spicy and go full beard uh
1:25
but a couple weeks ago I
1:27
decided maybe a week and a
1:29
half ago decided uh
1:32
let's go beard again, tired of shaving.
1:36
So we're letting it grow in, uh,
1:39
letting it.
1:40
So when I'm doing my cross
1:41
country trip with my daughter this week,
1:44
uh,
1:44
I will be a angry facial hair guy when
1:48
I get out into the, uh,
1:50
into the great plains in North America.
1:54
So yeah.
1:58
Oh, yeah.
1:59
Oh, hell yeah.
2:00
Angry facial hair.
2:01
You know it.
2:02
You know it.
2:02
That means we'll be a little
2:03
bit salty going forward.
2:08
So I had a great Easter.
2:10
My daughter came home for the weekend and
2:13
She actually did a senior
2:17
picture package for some
2:19
people here in Columbus,
2:21
and then did that.
2:24
We had a nice Easter dinner where I...
2:29
I smoked ribs for the first
2:32
time in a while.
2:35
My daughter loves the ribs that I smoke.
2:39
That's what she wanted for Easter dinner.
2:41
She's playing the old, hey,
2:43
I'm moving across the country.
2:45
This may be the last time I
2:47
get ribs for a long time.
2:48
So dad, I'd really like them for Easter.
2:52
So that's what we did.
2:52
I got up at six forty five a.m.
2:54
on Easter morning,
2:57
put them on the smoker and
2:59
then at two o'clock they were so nice.
3:02
They the bones just fell out of the ribs.
3:08
They were so tender.
3:10
And turned out really well.
3:11
So that's what we had for
3:12
Easter dinner were smoked ribs.
3:17
We had a couple friends over
3:18
and it was nice.
3:19
But the crazy thing that I'm
3:21
going through right now is
3:23
daughter's moving to Montana.
3:26
That's two-thirds the way
3:27
across the country from us.
3:30
My wife doesn't want to see her baby go.
3:33
And my daughter,
3:36
to not feel the hurt of moving,
3:39
is being mean to my wife and
3:43
And I don't think it's intentionally.
3:45
I think it's subconsciously.
3:47
But the two of them are
3:48
scrapping all weekend long.
3:51
And I had to referee a
3:54
little bit yesterday and say, listen,
3:55
we only,
3:57
we only have a few days left
3:58
before she leaves.
3:59
And we want that to be
4:01
special and meaningful and,
4:04
and fighting like this is not the answer.
4:07
And then,
4:08
then we had lots of crying and a
4:11
lots of emotions.
4:13
So that has been the end of my weekend.
4:18
um we got some stuff packed
4:21
up um she went back to
4:24
pittsburgh for a couple
4:25
days she's gonna pack up
4:27
the last few things uh
4:29
she's picking me she's
4:30
coming here tuesday night
4:32
we are leaving wednesday
4:33
morning for montana her and
4:36
I and we're going across
4:39
the country um so what what's
4:45
what's interesting is things
4:46
I'm learning a little,
4:47
cause I've never been to the Dakotas,
4:51
Montana, any of that, that those places.
4:55
And when I've been to Minnesota,
4:56
I've always flown there, but I've,
5:00
we were told that once you
5:02
kind of move into the great plains,
5:05
you're not supposed to
5:05
drive after eight PM
5:09
because it's pitch black and
5:12
the animals are large and
5:18
they can run out into the highway
5:21
super quick and you have no reaction time.
5:25
And they are like moose, elk,
5:28
bison are much bigger than
5:30
the white tail deer that
5:32
we're used to here.
5:34
Um,
5:34
and the Midwest and Eastern United
5:38
States.
5:39
And so we decided to leave a
5:41
day early to give ourselves
5:43
some more time to be able
5:44
to stop around eight PM every night,
5:47
get a hotel, um,
5:51
But man,
5:51
just fascinating things that you
5:53
learn that I didn't know
5:55
about before my daughter
5:58
was going to move to the
6:00
Great Plains of the United States.
6:04
But I've seen bison before.
6:09
I've never seen an elk or a
6:12
moose in the wild.
6:14
So that could be fun.
6:18
That could be real fun.
6:20
I don't think I've ever seen
6:21
a bison in the wild.
6:22
I've seen them in captivity, but never,
6:24
ever seen them in the wild.
6:28
So, yeah,
6:30
super excited for the new adventure,
6:32
but definitely learning new
6:34
things about what's going on.
6:37
Denise says,
6:39
I'm surprised they didn't turn on you.
6:41
I'm actually surprised they didn't either.
6:43
But it had hit a point where
6:46
someone had to make sense
6:47
of this because it was just...
6:51
it was ruining both of their
6:53
days and they just didn't
6:54
even know what they were
6:55
doing to each other.
6:57
Um,
6:58
Kenneth says,
6:59
talk about emotional fatigue.
7:01
It was, it was getting really, really bad.
7:04
And so that's why I stepped in.
7:07
Normally I let them solve it on their own.
7:11
But yeah, it was,
7:14
it was getting bad to where
7:15
that like silent treatments
7:17
and just crazy, crazy.
7:19
So every little like request turned into,
7:23
why do you,
7:23
did you say it to me that way?
7:26
Why do you do, you know, my gosh,
7:27
it was so bad.
7:29
but again they didn't turn
7:33
on me thank goodness and we
7:37
we got through it and the
7:40
rest of the day was much
7:41
better after that um with
7:43
that understanding and yeah
7:47
so she'll be back tomorrow
7:49
night and then wednesday
7:50
morning we're off
7:53
And I got to get with Corey, too,
7:54
about Wednesday's show
7:55
because I think I'm going
7:56
to try to do it from the road.
7:57
I shouldn't be anywhere
7:58
where I don't have cell service.
8:01
So we'll do that one from the road.
8:04
And then Thursday and Friday,
8:05
as long as I have cell service,
8:06
I'll keep putting these up.
8:12
So.
8:14
I don't want to cut that short.
8:29
Both Jamie and Carolyn would
8:30
have to drive home from family events.
8:33
And so rather than make them
8:35
give up time with their family,
8:37
we decided to move that
8:38
show from last night to tonight.
8:40
So we'll hit all the big news tonight.
8:43
Copasaur, who qualified out of there?
8:46
I can tell you who.
8:49
On the men's side,
8:50
it was Henrique Moriera and Kalen Souza.
8:55
And on the women's side,
8:56
it was Maria Quintero and Luisa Marquez.
9:01
They got the two spots from
9:03
South America or from Copasor.
9:06
Sorry, we're not in regions anymore.
9:10
The one thing I do want to say about it,
9:12
though,
9:12
is what worries me is we're in a
9:16
spot where
9:20
I thought by breaking down
9:22
the regions and not using
9:23
the regions anymore,
9:25
we would be getting the
9:26
best thirty athletes to the
9:27
CrossFit Games.
9:29
But because people like
9:31
Copasaur have made theirs
9:34
where only people from that
9:35
region can sign up and
9:40
qualify and participate,
9:43
then we're only getting
9:43
people from that region.
9:47
Watching some of Copasaur this weekend,
9:50
It was obvious.
9:52
that at different levels
9:53
this was a step down from
9:55
the competitions we're used
9:57
to here at like mayhem
9:59
classic uh syndicate crown
10:03
tfx and so yeah lito lito
10:08
says renegades renegade
10:09
games have done this too I
10:11
I know and so has syndicate
10:13
crown and so is tfx I don't
10:15
think it's going to have
10:16
the effect that the other
10:17
two do um but who knows
10:25
Watching the athletes
10:27
compete in all the heats I watched,
10:30
there's definitely a step
10:31
down from the athletes here
10:33
in North America and Europe
10:34
and Australia.
10:36
And so I don't think we're
10:38
going to get the best
10:39
thirty to the games.
10:41
If you're going to tell me
10:42
that Luisa Marquez is one
10:43
of the top thirty athletes in the world,
10:49
I don't see it.
10:51
I don't see it.
10:54
And I think that that is a
10:55
fatal flaw to making the
10:57
CrossFit Games the best it can be.
10:59
And if you want to grow the sport,
11:01
you need the best thirty
11:02
people there that you can be there.
11:12
It was a hard watch because
11:15
of the level of competition.
11:17
It just, you watch mayhem and you see,
11:19
and Lito says it exactly.
11:21
I just look at their Isabel times,
11:24
you know,
11:24
you're watching phenomenal
11:26
athletes go through Isabel at mayhem.
11:30
And then there were people
11:32
that couldn't even get out
11:32
of the first box, um, at Copa store.
11:37
Um, they were struggling even to get a rep,
11:39
um,
11:42
And I know that for some
11:43
people that is a really heavy weight.
11:45
But if you're trying to get
11:46
to the CrossFit Games,
11:47
that should not be a heavy weight.
11:51
So it was hard to watch at times.
11:54
We're going to break it down
11:55
completely tonight with
11:57
Carolyn and Jamie and get
11:59
their feelings on all this.
12:00
But I'm really just kind of saddened that
12:04
we may only get the twenty
12:06
five best athletes and then
12:08
a few few others or twenty
12:10
seven of the best athletes.
12:12
I think until we can get the
12:14
thirty best athletes to the competition,
12:18
it's a fatal flaw in where
12:20
the sport can go.
12:22
Because when you have the thirty best,
12:25
those thirty can affect the
12:27
leaderboard at any given time.
12:31
And I think with this,
12:33
the last few athletes
12:34
aren't going to do much to
12:36
change the leaderboard at all.
12:41
Just my opinion,
12:42
but I strongly believe that.
12:45
And the fact that you're
12:47
trying to make something global...
12:50
you are making it global by
12:51
having the events around the world,
12:53
but shouldn't those events
12:55
have the best athletes there?
12:57
So this,
12:57
so that the spectators and the
13:01
viewers can see the best,
13:04
best athletes out there.
13:07
And then that's how that
13:09
area grows its talent by
13:11
seeing the best of the best
13:13
on the floor compete.
13:15
And that something for them
13:16
to strive for in the future.
13:20
I don't think by sending
13:21
someone that's not prepared to the games,
13:24
and I don't mean that in a
13:25
way that they can't do any
13:26
of the movements.
13:27
I mean that they're going to
13:28
go there and take a bunch of last places.
13:31
I don't think that really
13:33
inspires the local communities to go, ooh,
13:36
I want to get better and go do that.
13:40
CrossFit is not the Olympics.
13:42
It's not this thing where
13:44
representation from every
13:45
country or continent is required.
13:50
In Olympic sports,
13:51
you're inviting so many
13:55
athletes that the best of
13:57
the best get to the top.
13:59
In this case, I just don't see it,
14:01
and I'm just saddened by that.
14:07
Denise says,
14:07
I think they should bring Forty Butt.
14:11
I love the, I love Forty,
14:14
but it should be the best Forty.
14:16
This has been my problem
14:19
over the last few years.
14:20
We don't bring the best Forty.
14:21
We bring the best Thirty and
14:23
then other people to get
14:25
global representation.
14:29
That's my opinion.
14:31
Totally.
14:40
Alito says, on the other hand,
14:41
Far East Throwdown is open to everyone,
14:43
but there's still no big names, really.
14:51
So Far East actually has a
14:53
couple women that I do
14:54
believe could be the best
14:56
thirty in the world.
14:59
So on the women's side,
15:00
I think that that is fair for them.
15:06
On the men's side...
15:09
Last year, half of them tested positive.
15:12
I think we had to go to
15:13
number six to get the first
15:14
one there just because of
15:15
positive PED tests.
15:18
So on the men's side,
15:19
that's much harder to determine.
15:21
But on the women's side, what's her name?
15:31
Yeah,
15:31
they have athletes that can really
15:32
compete on the women's side for sure.
15:37
Sung Young Kim, is that it?
15:43
I just came off an Easter weekend.
15:45
My brain is not.
15:47
So here, Kaya.
15:48
Yeah.
15:49
Like those athletes are
15:50
pretty good and deserve their spot.
15:55
Chung Young Choi.
15:56
Chung Young.
15:56
That's it.
15:58
Chung Young Choi.
15:59
And so here, Kaya,
16:00
both of them are really
16:03
good athletes and can
16:04
compete in that upper echelon.
16:06
So, yeah.
16:13
so I I just dumped all my
16:15
notes and everything on the
16:16
floor so if you will don't
16:21
mind ah there we go um I
16:30
did want to update
16:31
everybody too that I've decided
16:35
that I am not going to
16:36
attend the World Fitness
16:37
Project tour event one.
16:41
And it has nothing to do with them.
16:42
It has to do with my schedule.
16:46
I have major family events
16:49
or things going on over the
16:50
next few weekends.
16:53
I think the next three weekends.
16:55
And then when WFP goes,
16:58
that would be my first
16:59
weekend break from all of
17:01
the stuff that's happened.
17:04
And so I've decided that
17:07
to,
17:08
for my own wellness and wellbeing that
17:12
I'm going to skip that in
17:13
person and just watch it online.
17:16
I do have a camera guy going.
17:21
get pictures uh so I'll work
17:23
with him to get some stuff
17:25
uh to post and different
17:26
things like that but um as
17:28
much as I really want to go
17:29
see what they have going on
17:30
over there um I just don't
17:32
think my wife will be
17:34
having total knee
17:35
replacement surgery on
17:36
tuesday um and that only
17:38
gives her a couple days of
17:39
recovery I'd have to get
17:41
someone to come sit with
17:42
her and I will have
17:44
been doing things every
17:45
weekend up until that and I
17:47
just think it's better that
17:49
I just be here and help my
17:51
wife during that first week
17:53
of recovery and me myself
17:55
get a little bit of a break
17:57
from traveling every
17:58
weekend so they did
18:02
announce the events uh for
18:05
the tour event one
18:07
We are going to talk about
18:08
that tonight with the ladies.
18:11
It's six events.
18:12
One is a double score event.
18:14
Not double score.
18:15
It's a two-part event.
18:17
I'm assuming it might be a double score.
18:21
But those are all out.
18:22
We'll talk about those in
18:23
detail tonight just to kind
18:27
of keep you guys up to date
18:29
with what's going on in the space there.
18:32
Another big topic tonight will be Tia.
18:36
We talked about it briefly last week.
18:38
Is she retiring?
18:39
Is she not?
18:40
I think the thing that...
18:42
really sells home for me
18:44
that it was a big psych is
18:46
that she announced that she
18:49
was saying goodbye to this
18:50
chapter in her life at Torium Pro.
18:53
Then the next day it's
18:55
released that she has a
18:56
podcast out where she's
18:58
much more vague about what
19:00
all that is and that she
19:02
may be doing the games.
19:03
She really hasn't planned past semifinals.
19:08
I think if she truly was
19:10
going to say goodbye,
19:14
she would have come out and clarified.
19:16
But I think it's just the
19:17
game that she plays.
19:19
She's always been cryptic.
19:20
She's always been this like,
19:22
let's keep this hidden
19:24
behind the curtain.
19:25
And I think that that's how she wants it.
19:31
And so,
19:32
because if she wanted to clear this
19:33
up with everybody asking
19:35
questions across the media
19:36
space in CrossFit,
19:38
she would answer the
19:39
question and she hasn't.
19:43
so um kenneth says I'm with
19:47
amanda harry we know
19:48
nothing I actually talked
19:49
to amanda this weekend uh
19:51
via text we were talking
19:53
back and forth about the
19:54
whole situation um so yeah
19:59
she just she's really good
20:00
at not saying the words
20:05
so so I think I think I am
20:08
in the corner believing
20:09
that she will compete at
20:11
the crossfit games if she
20:12
qualifies um so craig says
20:20
amanda is cool uh amanda is
20:23
beyond cool um last year
20:27
When everything went down at the games,
20:31
she was a lifeline for me, for sure.
20:34
We hung out at a coffee shop
20:39
right after the incident at the lake.
20:43
And then we hung out all weekend,
20:44
just kind of lifting each
20:46
other up through that
20:49
Uh,
20:49
that time and we became really good
20:51
friends and, um, she just is really,
20:55
really cool.
20:56
And I can't say enough good
20:57
things about her.
20:59
And if you're not,
21:00
if you're not watching her channel,
21:01
you should be.
21:02
Um,
21:02
she's really putting out a lot of great
21:04
content recently.
21:06
Uh, she always has,
21:07
she's just picked up the
21:08
pace a little bit this year.
21:09
Um, and the stuff is really, really good.
21:17
uh lito says just wants to
21:18
leave the door open or if
21:20
she wins touring
21:21
convincingly she still goes
21:22
on to compete at the games I think
21:28
I think she has confidence
21:29
that she's going to win, Torian.
21:31
I don't think she's trying
21:32
to leave a door open just in case.
21:35
And actually,
21:36
Carolyn picked out some words
21:38
that she used in the
21:39
podcast that she says shows
21:43
the mindset of a champion athlete.
21:45
And we're going to talk
21:46
about that tonight.
21:48
So we're actually going to
21:49
kind of dive down that road.
21:52
And I think what you're
21:53
going to see from what
21:54
Carolyn found is that she's
21:57
not leaving a door open.
21:58
She knows she's going to
21:59
come in there and she's going to win.
22:04
So I don't...
22:06
because if, if you're,
22:07
if you're giving yourself an out,
22:10
then the out is going to
22:12
come because you're going to,
22:14
that means you don't have the confidence.
22:16
And she picks out different things.
22:18
She said in the podcast that
22:20
show she has no doubt in her ability,
22:23
even with less strength to
22:26
go ahead and win Torian.
22:28
And it's,
22:29
it's fascinating how Carolyn
22:30
picked all that out.
22:32
And I can't wait for you
22:33
guys to hear that tonight.
22:35
Um,
22:37
So yeah, make sure to check that out.
22:39
Cause Carolyn went through
22:40
everything she had to say, um,
22:43
in that podcast and found
22:44
out and found these little
22:46
tidbits of how she
22:49
basically was talking smack
22:50
about how great she was.
22:55
When is Torian Torian is
23:00
later in the season.
23:05
Um, let me Google, uh,
23:16
May thirtieth to June first.
23:20
So I think that's the same
23:20
weekend as syndicate crown.
23:27
Uh, Jake.
23:28
Yep.
23:29
I grown the beard out.
23:30
I decided I was tired of shaving.
23:32
So going full angry beard, uh,
23:36
for the CrossFit game season.
23:47
Um, okay.
23:56
Love it, Scotty.
23:56
Let's go.
23:57
Yeah, you know it, man.
23:59
Kenneth DeLapp always says
24:00
that when I have the beard,
24:01
my riffs are much more
24:03
angrier and saltier.
24:05
So I figured the game season started,
24:07
time to get into character.
24:16
So anyway, yeah,
24:17
so it looks like Torian Pro
24:18
and Seneca Crown are the same weekend.
24:21
And then we'll see what's going on there.
24:30
edgy beard you know it man
24:34
so so yeah um there's that
24:40
again we have a we have a
24:41
full full show tonight so I
24:43
don't want to get too much
24:44
into the weeds today I want
24:46
to I want to have the the
24:47
ladies on when we're
24:48
talking about this stuff
24:50
but just to kind of give
24:51
you a brief rundown of what
24:53
we have tonight uh we're
24:55
going to talk about
24:56
copasaur for sure we're
24:58
going to talk about tia
25:02
the age group leaderboards
25:04
should be final today.
25:10
So we'll know that stuff.
25:12
I think it's the twenty first.
25:18
We're going to talk about
25:19
Gabby and her second Achilles rupture.
25:23
We're going to talk about
25:24
the tour events from WFP.
25:27
We're going to talk a little
25:27
bit about Laura's
25:29
documentary that was put out last week.
25:31
And we're going to talk
25:32
about Wadland programming.
25:35
Carolyn has some strong
25:36
feelings about the Wadland
25:37
programming for this weekend.
25:39
So we'll talk about that.
25:43
And that's what's on tap for
25:44
tonight and anything else
25:46
that may break through the day.
25:50
As well as, yeah,
25:53
we are today at seven central, eight p.m.
25:56
Pacific, Pacific.
25:59
And that's five p.m.
26:01
I'm sorry, eight p.m.
26:02
Eastern time, five p.m.
26:04
Pacific.
26:06
All those times.
26:14
CrossFit says,
26:14
I'm worried Gabby's Julie F
26:16
all over again.
26:18
Well, Julie never re ruptured,
26:20
but she retired after that event.
26:22
She didn't even try to make
26:24
a full comeback.
26:25
So I don't think you need to
26:27
worry about that.
26:33
Uh,
26:36
we think they're actually
26:36
re-watching all those
26:37
mayhem folks I do I'm
26:40
seeing the emails that like
26:41
carolyn and jamie got I've
26:43
seen some other emails um
26:45
and they actually indicate
26:46
in the email if they have
26:48
re-watched the video and
26:49
re-judged it um or if
26:52
because you had good votes
26:54
from the the general public
26:56
that they did not re-watch
26:57
it they actually say that in the email
27:06
I think you mean,
27:07
Sean Woodland is not a program for any,
27:11
but Wadland,
27:13
I think it's going to be a
27:14
very interesting discussion.
27:18
Again,
27:18
Carolyn has very strong feelings
27:20
about the programming.
27:25
Carolyn, strong feelings?
27:26
Nah.
27:28
Yeah.
27:29
Yeah, she does.
27:32
Yeah.
27:36
So bummed about Gabby.
27:38
Yeah,
27:39
it's funny because I became good
27:42
friends with Chelsea Nicholas,
27:44
who ruptured her Achilles
27:47
at the twenty twenty.
27:50
Three CrossFit games while
27:51
she was winning the thirty
27:54
five to thirty nine year old division.
27:57
And I kept up with her when
27:59
she was going through a
28:00
recovery and she talked about how.
28:03
That.
28:06
the Achilles is not back to
28:07
full strength for months.
28:11
So I'm wondering if she,
28:13
if she pushed it early or
28:15
if it just was a bad surgery.
28:17
I mean,
28:17
she kind of leads you to believe
28:19
that it was a failed surgery.
28:22
Um, so I don't know.
28:26
I,
28:28
I don't know what happened
28:29
there if she pushed it.
28:32
And Chelsea actually sat out
28:33
the twenty four season
28:35
because she didn't want to
28:36
risk it within that eighteen month period,
28:40
even though she was cleared
28:41
to do a lot of physical
28:42
activity with the Achilles.
28:45
She knew,
28:47
and I guess half of this is mental,
28:49
that it wasn't going to be
28:50
back to full strength until
28:51
eighteen months.
28:53
So she actually forewent the
28:59
twenty twenty four season
29:02
because of that.
29:08
Cats in the chat.
29:10
If you haven't watched her shows,
29:13
you should go do that.
29:13
They're really, really good.
29:20
It's also ridiculously massive field.
29:22
Eighty men and eighty women,
29:23
if I'm not mistaken.
29:25
I believe you're right.
29:27
And it's only European and... No,
29:32
that's French throwdown.
29:35
Is that one...
29:37
Is that one open to the
29:39
world or just specifics?
29:48
Corey says, Jen loves cat show.
29:50
A lot of people do.
29:52
She gets so much engagement,
29:54
lots of comments.
29:57
Can't wait for cat's next show.
30:03
And cat has updates on real life guy.
30:09
It's so funny.
30:09
Like now the cat's doing the
30:11
show when I'm looking at
30:13
like my Yahoo newsfeed and
30:14
things like that.
30:15
Now I get all of these articles about, um,
30:18
dating advice and I
30:21
probably should just start
30:22
sending them to her.
30:23
And so she can actually see
30:25
if the dating advice being given,
30:27
it works in the, in the wild or if it,
30:30
um,
30:33
or if it's, it's stupid advice,
30:35
like have her give her a
30:37
thumbs up or thumbs down on
30:38
the dating advice.
30:39
I sent her one, um,
30:41
that was actually listing
30:42
the characteristics you
30:43
should look for in a person
30:45
because she had that show, uh,
30:50
That show last week about her ideal guy.
30:54
But yeah,
30:55
there's so many articles out there, Kat.
30:56
I would love for you to dive
30:58
into some of them and just be like,
31:00
this is bogus.
31:02
This might actually help.
31:03
Things like that because
31:05
it's wild what they suggest.
31:10
Craig says it's a large field in Wadland.
31:14
Both European events are open to everyone.
31:19
Yeah,
31:19
but French reserved the spots for
31:22
European and French
31:22
athletes specifically.
31:27
Um,
31:31
and then Lucy and Roman are competing
31:34
in it this weekend.
31:41
if Tia does not go to the games, the,
31:44
the number of athletes that
31:45
can win the games is, is insane.
31:49
And I heard someone say maybe Lucy,
31:52
which I think is a lot of
31:53
pressure to put on someone
31:54
who is just coming back from injury.
31:57
But, um, but man,
32:00
she was awesome at water
32:01
Palooza and she's really
32:04
been working hard.
32:06
I can't wait to see what she
32:07
does this weekend.
32:11
Uh, Wadland is Spain.
32:13
Yeah.
32:14
It's French throw down.
32:15
I think is the one that
32:16
reserve spots for Europeans and French.
32:21
Um,
32:21
and not Wadland that I was getting the
32:23
two mixed up in my head.
32:29
I think she's twenty nine.
32:31
It's probably a little late
32:32
for her to be the next big thing,
32:34
but I think she can be a
32:36
big thing for sure.
32:38
She popped on the scene a
32:40
couple of years ago,
32:41
won two games events and
32:43
then and she did that with
32:45
the damaged wrist.
32:47
And then the thought was,
32:48
if she can get that corrected,
32:50
she could be a thing.
32:53
But at that time she would have been like,
32:54
and even that you're talking, you know,
32:57
much later in the career than most of the,
33:01
not to say that she couldn't do well,
33:03
like Emily Rolf started
33:04
late and she has done awesome.
33:06
Right.
33:08
So Lucy could still have an awesome career,
33:11
but she's probably too far
33:13
into her career to be
33:15
called the next big thing.
33:20
I got to interview her one
33:21
time and she was just incredible.
33:23
But she has a degree in
33:24
sports psychology and she
33:27
was a collegiate swimmer.
33:30
So she focused on all of
33:31
that for a long time and
33:32
that's why she got a late
33:33
jump on the CrossFit scene.
33:36
So she was pursuing other
33:41
endeavors for a long time.
33:46
But one of my favorite
33:49
people I've ever talked to, for sure.
33:54
At that time,
33:54
we were doing a show with a
34:00
sports psychologist.
34:02
And that's how we kind of connected.
34:05
And he was a coach in their
34:06
camp and different things.
34:08
So we really connected over
34:09
that and talked a lot about
34:11
the psychology of being an athlete,
34:15
which to me is fascinating.
34:18
I'm still watching this full
34:19
swing thing um the netflix
34:21
show on on the pga tour and
34:23
the live golf tour and how
34:25
the they coexist or not um
34:29
and it dives a lot into the
34:32
psychology of an athlete
34:34
and especially these
34:35
golfers who the pressure is
34:37
really on them when they're
34:38
at majors and I'm part way
34:40
through season two and it
34:42
is it's as good as it was
34:44
at the beginning and I've
34:45
been touting that that
34:47
you know,
34:47
CrossFit really needs to take a
34:49
look at the format of those
34:50
shows to make their media
34:55
tell better stories.
34:58
Um,
35:00
And what's crazy is the WFP
35:02
with the Laura unbreakable,
35:04
I think has come the
35:05
closest to that storytelling again.
35:12
And I really do think it's
35:13
because the buttery bros
35:14
were restricted from using
35:16
the workout porn from the games.
35:18
And because they were
35:18
restricted from using that
35:19
copyrighted material,
35:21
they had to go back to storytelling,
35:23
which made that video so much better.
35:27
So much better.
35:30
And maybe CrossFit needs to
35:31
take a chunk from that or a
35:34
learning lesson from that
35:36
in their content going forward.
35:39
That we've seen all of the
35:40
workout porn that just tell us the story.
35:44
And let's go deeper into that.
35:51
Holly,
35:52
best stats and information person in
35:53
the business, coming to the show.
35:59
Well, with that,
36:00
the last thing I want to
36:00
leave you with is we had
36:03
our bracket challenge.
36:05
Jamie Latimer won the female
36:07
bracket challenge and Brett
36:09
Owsley won the male bracket challenge.
36:12
I have sent out their prize packs.
36:13
They should be getting those
36:14
in the mail this week.
36:16
Can't wait for them to get it.
36:17
It's pretty cool.
36:18
Hopefully they will take
36:20
pictures and post on social
36:22
media because I think it's
36:24
a pretty cool prize pack.
36:27
with that we're going to
36:28
continue to try to do stuff
36:29
like that fun little um
36:36
scott have you seen strange
36:38
darling I have not I have
36:44
not I don't is it a movie
36:46
or a tv series um
36:53
Well,
36:53
we want to keep doing prizes and
36:55
stuff for fun things that are coming up.
36:58
We'll probably do some stuff
36:59
around the games.
37:01
Maybe we'll do something around WFP.
37:03
Maybe we'll do some stuff like that.
37:10
Paramount Plus, so good.
37:12
Lots of twists.
37:18
Um, no, I,
37:20
I tried to watch den of thieves
37:22
too last night, but I was way too tired.
37:24
I'd gotten up early to smoke the ribs.
37:27
And, um,
37:28
and by that time I just didn't
37:30
have the focus to sit down.
37:32
I did finish Cobra Kai, um,
37:35
which Carolyn watched.
37:36
So we'll probably talk about
37:37
that a little bit off the top tonight.
37:41
And, um, so yeah,
37:43
but I'll have to check it out.
37:45
You said strange darling.
37:49
Jay Birch has a top five idea for me.
37:51
All right, cool.
37:52
I love the top five ideas.
37:54
We do top five Tuesdays when
37:56
we have a good topic.
37:59
If you have any good topics
38:00
for top five Tuesday,
38:01
just go ahead and DM me or
38:02
put them in the comments on
38:04
the YouTube channel.
38:05
That would be awesome.
38:07
What's up, Jeremy?
38:12
So yeah, what I'm going to leave with is
38:16
I'm not a candy guy.
38:18
I would rather have food than candy.
38:22
Nine out of ten times I want
38:24
like chicken wings and ribs
38:25
and brisket way before I
38:28
want any kind of candy.
38:30
But the best candy season of
38:32
all time is Easter because
38:34
the greatest candy ever is a jelly bean.
38:38
And not the waxy cheap ones,
38:40
but like the good ones.
38:42
Smuckers used to make them
38:43
out of actual jelly,
38:45
and they were amazing.
38:47
Skittles has come the closest.
38:49
Not Skittles.
38:50
Skittles?
38:50
Starburst.
38:51
Starburst.
38:52
Starburst has come the closest.
38:57
That is my downfall.
39:00
I only bought one bag,
39:01
and I haven't even opened it yet.
39:06
That is black licorice jelly beans only.
39:08
That is gross, Holly.
39:12
Yeah, Corey, it's Starburst.
39:13
Starburst jelly beans.
39:14
They've come the closest.
39:16
Smuckers used to be the best,
39:18
but that is my favorite Easter candy.
39:21
My wife is a huge Cadbury mini egg,
39:25
Cadbury mini eggs fan,
39:29
and it's really hard to get those.
39:31
I try to get her a bag every
39:32
year for Easter,
39:32
and they're sold out all the time.
39:37
Andrew Sten says, wrong on so many levels.
39:39
Reese's cups are the goat.
39:42
I got to give you the
39:43
Reese's eggs are the
39:44
perfect proportion of
39:45
peanut butter to chocolate.
39:47
Way better than the typical
39:52
peanut butter cup.
39:56
Reese's all day and every holiday,
39:58
Train to Live says.
40:00
Yeah, I know I'm in the minority.
40:02
I like the fruity candy more
40:03
than I like the chocolate candy.
40:10
uh kenneth mr fitness uh
40:12
only doing perfect bars for
40:14
my candy fix jody says one
40:23
starburst jellybean and you
40:24
may as well join a ten-step
40:25
program yeah that's pretty much it
40:34
My dad will do terrible
40:35
things for Starburst Jelly Beans.
40:36
Also, they make candy canes for Christmas.
40:39
He'll do some shady shit for it.
40:41
I didn't like the candy canes, man.
40:43
Didn't like the candy canes.
40:49
My mom bought me the candy
40:50
canes for Christmas.
40:51
I had one,
40:53
and I've got the rest of the box.
40:55
Probably should just toss it.
40:58
I mean, it was fine.
40:59
It was fine.
41:00
Fine.
41:01
But I'm not going to blow
41:04
calories on them.
41:05
That's for sure.
41:08
And Jay Burch is skipping candy,
41:10
going all the way to
41:10
dessert with some banana pudding.
41:13
My best friend, Sprinkles,
41:17
would shiv somebody for
41:19
some banana pudding.
41:21
And my mom makes a homemade
41:23
banana pudding that is really,
41:24
really good.
41:29
or Reese's cups.
41:30
Yeah.
41:30
Reese's Reese's is kind of
41:32
the king of the block.
41:34
Um,
41:36
and their holiday versions are way
41:37
better than the regular way,
41:39
way better for sure.
41:45
So with that guys,
41:50
Make sure you put down what
41:51
candy you want in your Easter basket.
41:53
What's the top one on the block?
41:56
And we'll look at that.
41:57
Maybe we'll look at that again tomorrow.
41:59
But until then, time to get back to work,
42:01
you knuckleheads.
42:02
We'll talk about some more
42:03
stuff tomorrow on Lunch
42:05
with the Clydesdale.
42:06
Bye, guys.
