Lunch with the Clydesdale - Why is Tia Always So Cryptic??? · Clydesdale Media Podcast

0:31
what is going on everybody
0:32
welcome to lunchtime that's
0:35
right it's our time to get
0:37
a break from the work day
0:38
it's lunchtime with the
0:39
clydesdale gonna talk about
0:41
some stuff today sorry if I
0:43
interrupted the darren
0:44
hunsaker interview which
0:47
has been awesome this
0:48
morning I always like
0:49
listening to darren I know
0:52
I think it was either this
0:53
week or last week where the
0:55
spin did uh like top five
0:58
of people you'd like to
0:59
take a road trip with
1:01
Darren Hunsaker would be
1:03
number one on my list of
1:05
people that I would like to
1:07
hang out on a long road
1:09
trip with and just shoot the breeze.
1:12
I think that he would be
1:15
awesome just to chat with
1:17
for a good long road trip.
1:19
Since I have one coming up,
1:23
Something I thought about,
1:25
but what great stories this morning,
1:26
reminiscing about the old days of mayhem.
1:30
I always love when Darren is
1:32
on any kind of show.
1:33
So, so yeah, awesome stuff over there.
1:38
If you're still watching,
1:39
if people are still watching that,
1:40
I completely understand.
1:44
So yesterday we did a show
1:49
talking about Tia Claire to
1:50
me announcing that she was
1:54
saying goodbye.
1:56
And then yesterday after the show,
2:00
I listened to the proven
2:01
podcast where she was a guest.
2:05
And now I am more confused than ever.
2:10
I think Tia is becoming the
2:14
Aaron Rodgers of CrossFit.
2:20
Everything is so cryptic.
2:22
Everything is done in little
2:24
sound bites here and there,
2:25
and you're trying to piece it together.
2:28
And at the end of the day,
2:29
none of it makes sense.
2:31
And we're all kind of left feeling like,
2:34
I don't know what's going to go on.
2:37
what's up Andrew hey I
2:37
forgot to throw my dart
2:39
gotta do that so here we
2:43
here we go I'm gonna move
2:44
my mic this time that was
2:49
weak I did hit the board
2:53
double nine maybe again up
2:55
there in the upper left but
2:57
I did hit the board not the
2:58
wall so we'll call that a win for the day
3:04
Got to keep people wondering
3:05
so they keep watching when
3:06
you post something.
3:07
Clearly, it's calculated.
3:11
I think what's confusing to me,
3:14
not confusing to me,
3:17
what's hard for me is while
3:19
I think that Tia is the
3:23
goat when it comes to
3:24
CrossFit athletes of all time,
3:27
I think that it's so hard
3:31
to listen to her.
3:33
as great as she is as an
3:34
athlete I've never been a
3:36
fan of her internet content
3:40
um I'm not a big fan of
3:42
just watching people work
3:43
out in in training sessions
3:46
um I know other people like
3:48
that stuff I want to hear
3:49
stories I want to hear and
3:52
so I remember like way back in the day
3:55
And when Craig and jazz used
3:58
to tour around to different athletes,
4:01
they would travel with Shane and Tia.
4:05
And during those sessions,
4:07
they were very interesting.
4:09
You'd get great stories.
4:10
You get funny anecdotes.
4:13
Then when they started doing
4:14
their own stuff, it just went blah.
4:17
And it just,
4:21
everything is talking in circles.
4:24
And so I guess,
4:26
I'm just going to play a
4:27
couple things to try to
4:31
figure this all out.
4:33
And so the first thing I'm
4:34
going to play is the
4:35
Instagram video that was
4:37
posted on Wednesday that
4:39
made us think that it was the end.
4:43
So first we have this
4:45
Instagram video where she is talking,
4:50
and I'm going to go ahead and hit play.
4:51
Hit play.
4:54
This time,
4:55
it's my moment to say goodbye to
4:58
this chapter.
5:00
This sport has given me everything.
5:02
Every challenge.
5:06
Every triumph.
5:09
So goodbye to this chapter.
5:12
And then she talks about the sport.
5:14
So we're assuming that the
5:16
chapter is her CrossFit career.
5:19
That's what she's leading us to believe.
5:21
She's showing us clips now
5:23
of her CrossFit career.
5:24
And most importantly,
5:26
the incredible community
5:27
that surrounds it.
5:30
Competing to be the most... Again,
5:32
fans in the crowd of a
5:33
CrossFit event saying
5:35
goodbye to the community.
5:37
dominant athlete in CrossFit
5:39
history has been my life,
5:41
my passion and my purpose.
5:43
And it shaped me in ways I
5:45
could never have imagined.
5:47
But I'm always going to
5:48
remember and be so grateful for the love,
5:51
the lessons and the legacy
5:53
I will continue on striving to build.
5:57
So she's talking about her
5:58
career and kind of like a
5:59
past tense kind of thing.
6:03
Now it feels only right to
6:05
bring it full circle celebrating.
6:09
And then she goes on to talk
6:10
about the Torian pro and
6:11
wanting to do it all in
6:12
front of her Aussie crowd
6:15
and their Aussie family.
6:17
And that she hadn't been
6:18
there in a few years
6:19
because she had gotten the
6:20
exemption to do the
6:22
semifinals here in the States.
6:24
So she hadn't gone back to
6:26
Australia and now, um,
6:30
This was going to be her
6:30
first time back in a couple
6:31
of years and apparently her
6:33
last to say goodbye to this chapter.
6:36
So that's what I took from that.
6:38
If you watch the long form YouTube video,
6:41
it's very much the same thing.
6:42
It just kind of talks about
6:44
other things before.
6:45
And this clip is from it at the end,
6:48
kind of dissecting that she
6:50
is saying goodbye, saying goodbye.
6:55
So then we did a whole show
6:57
yesterday about her saying goodbye.
6:58
What does that do to the
7:00
field now at the CrossFit Games?
7:02
You don't have the most
7:03
dominant woman in the sport back anymore.
7:06
What could that mean?
7:09
So then after the show yesterday,
7:13
we pull up this proven podcast.
7:21
And so leading up to this,
7:24
she talks about...
7:27
the celebration in Australia
7:32
and how she wants that to happen.
7:36
But she also talks vaguely
7:38
about that she has to give
7:40
her all to the High Rocks
7:43
partners that she is
7:44
partnering with at the
7:45
World Championships.
7:47
Both James Newberry and her female partner,
7:50
she's competing in both
7:52
groups in the duos at High Rocks.
8:00
Sorry, I got that tickle back.
8:05
So she talks about that.
8:08
And then they talk about how
8:11
she has to reduce her
8:14
strength to increase her speed.
8:18
But in some ways that
8:19
strength can help in high rocks,
8:20
but never can it reduce her speed.
8:23
And they talk about the
8:24
difficulties of doing both.
8:28
but that she feels she could
8:29
do both and so these world
8:32
championships are after the
8:34
torian pro and then but
8:39
she's talking about doing
8:41
both well if torian pro's
8:43
the end and then the world
8:45
championships and then the
8:47
games at that point there
8:49
really should not be both
8:51
But she's talking about it
8:52
like there is both still at that point.
8:56
And then she says this.
8:59
Fitting to like celebrate in
9:01
front of a home crowd.
9:03
And I've definitely been in
9:05
front of a home crowd before.
9:06
But I actually want to take
9:08
this moment in case like there's never,
9:13
ever going to be another time.
9:18
In case.
9:19
There's never,
9:20
ever going to be another time.
9:22
Not that there won't be another time,
9:26
but in case.
9:28
So now we're getting into
9:29
much more vague
9:31
descriptions of what this is going to be.
9:35
I want my family, my friends,
9:37
my Aussie crowd to be there
9:40
to celebrate with me,
9:42
whatever the future holds.
9:45
Whatever the future holds.
9:48
Now,
9:48
that Instagram video was done in a way
9:50
saying goodbye to this chapter of my life,
9:54
sounding very definitive.
9:56
Now we're talking in this cryptic,
9:59
if it never happens again,
10:01
whatever it may hold, and very,
10:04
very cryptic messages and
10:06
very contradictory to the
10:08
two pieces of media that
10:10
came out just less than
10:11
twenty four hours apart from each other.
10:14
And it's,
10:16
it's only fitting to do it at the
10:17
Torian pro because like,
10:18
I know Mike and Jono so well,
10:21
like throughout my whole career.
10:22
So it's.
10:22
So.
10:33
She goes on to talk about
10:34
the Torian Pro and why it
10:35
should be the Torian Pro
10:37
where she ends it.
10:38
That all makes sense to me.
10:40
She is Australian.
10:41
That is the biggest event in Australia.
10:44
It is a rock concert event.
10:47
Everybody that's ever been
10:48
there says it's one of the
10:49
greatest events to attend.
10:52
Her announcing her going
10:53
there and it possibly being
10:55
her last time there is
10:57
going to sell tickets.
10:58
It's going to sell the place out.
11:01
So I think all this is fine.
11:04
But why do we have to come
11:05
back to these cryptic
11:06
messages to keep everybody guessing?
11:10
It just seems like over the
11:11
last few years.
11:14
And again, it's very,
11:15
very parallel to the Aaron
11:17
Rodgers situation.
11:19
Aaron Rogers with these cryptic messages,
11:22
you know,
11:22
when he went to the jets and
11:23
then is he going to come
11:25
back for another year?
11:27
And, and now it's, you know,
11:29
am I going to the Steelers?
11:30
Am I going to the Vikings?
11:31
Am I,
11:32
and then he has a thing yesterday
11:33
with Pat McAfee that is
11:35
just as cryptic as everything else.
11:38
Um,
11:39
And now we have Tia doing the same thing.
11:41
We had the games where Sean
11:44
Woodland announced that it
11:45
was going to be her retirement.
11:47
And he was told that by one
11:48
of her camp members.
11:50
Then all of a sudden, Tia changes course.
11:53
She then announces she's pregnant.
11:56
So she has Willow.
11:57
She takes a year off.
11:58
She comes back.
12:00
She wins the games.
12:01
So on.
12:02
The rest is history.
12:03
Now we're back to
12:05
I'm saying goodbye.
12:07
Well, maybe it's goodbye.
12:08
We'll see what the future holds.
12:11
I'm just,
12:11
I'm kind of getting over this
12:13
back and forth thing with Tia.
12:17
Um, what I'll tell you is Sunday night,
12:19
we're going to dive into
12:20
this a little bit more, what this means.
12:23
Um,
12:25
Carolyn actually did a really big deep
12:27
dive into the mindset of a
12:29
champion athlete with what she said.
12:33
Um,
12:34
And that's a perspective
12:35
that like me is just an
12:37
average Joe wouldn't have.
12:39
Uh,
12:40
but Carolyn picked up some really
12:42
interesting pieces along
12:44
the way that we'll be
12:44
talking about on the Sunday show.
12:47
Um,
12:50
So look forward to that.
12:52
At this point,
12:53
I guess it's still up in the air.
12:55
And you would think with all the questions,
12:57
if there was a definitive response,
13:00
maybe she'd make that now
13:02
to kind of clear this up.
13:04
Or maybe she likes that it's
13:06
up in the air and not definitive.
13:10
And like Andrew said, clearly calculated.
13:15
I don't know.
13:15
But it's funny because she
13:18
made the announcement on Wednesday.
13:20
Gosh,
13:20
every podcast in the space put out a
13:23
goodbye.
13:23
Every news source put a goodbye.
13:26
And then everybody after that, you know,
13:31
Barbell Spin put out a thing.
13:33
Is she saying goodbye?
13:36
So it's going to be weird.
13:39
for sure.
13:40
James Tia is the goat of
13:42
CrossFit and now clickbait.
13:45
You got that right.
13:46
She is killing,
13:48
killing the clickbait right now.
13:51
but one thing,
13:52
one thing I will say about this podcast,
13:54
you can tell she loves high
13:56
rocks and what she loves
13:58
about it is the community
13:59
and getting to work out
14:00
with the community, um, giving fist bumps,
14:04
giving all that kind of
14:05
stuff with everybody live in person.
14:08
Um, one thing that she,
14:09
she was very emphatic about
14:12
is she does not like to do
14:14
the online versions of CrossFit.
14:17
Um,
14:19
she is not doing the online
14:22
uh qualifying event in
14:23
affiliate of qualifying
14:25
event she is only doing
14:26
torian pro so that will be
14:28
her one shot to make the
14:29
crossfit games if she
14:32
chooses to go that
14:33
direction so uh but it's
14:37
out there if you want to
14:38
check it out uh it's on the
14:39
proven fitness youtube page
14:42
uh it's about an hour in
14:43
length uh if you want to check that out
14:48
So there we go.
14:52
Um,
14:53
the other thing coming up this weekend
14:55
is Copa, sir.
14:57
Um, they, that will be the South American,
15:01
uh,
15:01
CrossFit qualifying event for the
15:04
CrossFit games in person.
15:06
Um, that kicks off today.
15:09
Um, let me check.
15:11
I know the barbell spin posted, uh,
15:15
how to watch it.
15:17
Um,
15:19
so I'm trying to pull that
15:20
up I've been having trouble
15:22
with their site lately but
15:24
um so copasaur starts today
15:30
at twelve ten sorry started
15:33
twelve ten eastern time um
15:39
no two ten two ten eastern
15:41
time sorry the page went
15:43
away for a second so from
15:44
two ten to four forty today
15:46
eastern time will be event
15:48
one and then tomorrow will
15:49
be events two and three
15:51
from eleven thirty six a.m
15:52
to three thirty three pm
15:54
eastern time and then
15:56
sunday is eight a.m eastern
15:57
time to two eighteen p.m
16:00
eastern time and that's
16:02
three events so one two
16:04
three format for the weekend
16:07
That will be down in Copasor.
16:11
They have their workouts announced.
16:15
Road to Hell is the first one.
16:17
Five rounds for time,
16:18
eight hundred meter run, ten thrusters.
16:20
Time cap, thirty minutes.
16:21
Very similar to what started
16:23
the Mayhem Classic.
16:25
Individual event two is a
16:26
barbell complex of three
16:27
attempts for a max load, three cleans,
16:29
two front squats, one jerk.
16:31
That's been done a few times
16:33
at the semifinal level.
16:36
um individual event three is
16:38
the thirty thirty thirty uh
16:40
that we saw at mayhem and
16:42
again I think mayhem is
16:43
actually programming this
16:46
so uh it doesn't it doesn't
16:49
seem that off that it's
16:50
very similar to what the
16:51
mayhem classic was
16:53
individual event four is a triple chipper
16:56
for total reps in a three in
16:58
three four minute intervals
17:00
a hundred double unders two
17:01
c seated legless rope
17:03
climbs twenty five toes to
17:05
bar max burpee over the box
17:07
I think we've seen similar
17:11
to that at a at a
17:13
semi-final event only
17:14
instead of seat seated
17:15
legless it was muscle ups
17:19
with a rucksack uh
17:25
one minute rest between the intervals.
17:26
Then we have heavy Isabel
17:28
and it finishes up with the
17:30
last one standing twenty five.
17:32
Part one for time is sixteen
17:34
twelve echo bite calories,
17:37
twelve one legged squats,
17:39
ninety six foot handstand walk.
17:42
um, eight, eight to six echo bike, six,
17:45
one legged squats, uh,
17:47
fifty and thirty five and
17:49
forty eight foot handstand
17:50
walk time cap four minutes.
17:52
Fastest ten athletes advanced to part two.
17:56
Um,
17:58
will be then twelve to eight
18:00
calorie echo bike eight
18:02
one-legged squats forty
18:03
eight foot handstand walk
18:04
time cap two minutes five
18:07
elimination rounds so they
18:09
are doing an elimination
18:10
style event to finish up uh
18:13
copasaur and there's
18:16
pirouettes every forty
18:18
eight feet on the handstand
18:19
walks so those are the uh
18:26
are the workouts uh some of
18:28
the big names down there on
18:30
the female side are julia
18:31
cato andrea pinero victoria
18:34
campos oh they are not
18:36
competing this year I'm
18:38
sorry so julie cato andrea
18:40
pinero and victoria campos
18:42
are all not competing this
18:43
year um but we do have
18:48
caitlyn souza bruno marins
18:50
who made it to the games
18:51
last year they'll be competing
18:56
And it looks like,
18:57
and I believe this is one
18:58
of the events where it's
18:59
exclusive to the people
19:01
from South America.
19:04
So all of the athletes
19:06
competing are from South America.
19:09
The Barbell Spin has listed
19:12
the links to the English
19:13
broadcast for the event.
19:15
You can go to thebarbellspin.com,
19:17
and they have all three links to Friday,
19:20
Saturday,
19:20
and Sunday to the YouTube feed
19:23
of the English broadcast.
19:25
They're also going to be
19:26
broadcasting in Spanish and Portuguese.
19:29
So you have three options
19:33
for languages to watch Copasaur.
19:38
And thank goodness one of those is English,
19:41
and we can watch this weekend.
19:43
And I'm sure we'll be doing
19:44
a full recap with the
19:47
ladies on Sunday Night CrossFit Talk,
19:49
so make sure you tune in for that.
19:54
I wonder what else is going
19:55
on in the space today.
20:01
Looks like Syndicate Crown
20:02
and TFX are putting out
20:04
their confirmed reports
20:05
throughout the week.
20:08
I'm just going to slide.
20:09
I'm going to share my screen.
20:10
Do a scroll of Instagram.
20:12
See what we have out there today.
20:14
Danielle Brandon has been confirmed.
20:17
I think the most important part is.
20:21
Hello, Gabby McGowan there.
20:27
Just a little update.
20:29
There's Facundo down in Copasur.
20:33
What do we got here?
20:41
Syndicate Crown put out their schedule,
20:42
but we're still a month away from that.
20:50
Trying to see what we got.
20:56
There is the arena for Copa Sewer.
21:00
That looks actually really nice.
21:03
Looks very intimate.
21:12
Yeah, I like that a lot.
21:15
That's a nice arena set up
21:18
for a CrossFit event.
21:20
I think those are the places
21:22
that we need to look at in the future.
21:25
Not these huge arenas,
21:27
but just smaller intimate
21:28
setting ones where you're
21:31
really close to the floor.
21:38
Dallin Pepper's confirmed for Syndicate.
21:41
Until he qualifies in the online.
21:50
Got some Belgrade game stuff going on.
22:00
It's been kind of a slow
22:01
news day this week or slow
22:03
news day today.
22:04
It's really all about Tia.
22:08
Kind of catching up on that.
22:13
There's Thor.
22:15
That guy's so big.
22:17
So big.
22:20
All right.
22:25
Yeah,
22:25
I was just doing a quick scroll to
22:27
see what we had.
22:30
But doesn't look like
22:30
anything major is happening today.
22:36
Got my daughter coming in
22:37
for Easter this weekend.
22:38
That's going to be fun.
22:40
Uh,
22:40
so we've got that going on and we're
22:43
going to be prepping for a
22:44
trip to Montana.
22:46
So that is going to start
22:47
either Wednesday or Thursday.
22:50
Um, yeah.
22:54
You guys doing anything
22:55
special for Easter this week?
22:57
Uh, I think my daughter,
22:59
she loves smoked ribs.
23:02
Uh, so I'm going to make some smoked ribs.
23:05
Sunday morning.
23:07
Uh, so we can have those for Easter lunch.
23:11
Um, and I think that's really,
23:18
we've got that.
23:19
She's going to do a,
23:19
she's doing a senior
23:20
picture picture patch
23:22
package for someone here in
23:24
Columbus on Saturday.
23:27
Then we go get her pickup truck on Sunday,
23:30
uh,
23:33
I get my second car back for
23:35
the first time in a year, over a year.
23:38
That'll be nice.
23:40
That'll make getting to the
23:41
gym so much easier.
23:46
Wow.
23:46
We have Meredith Jones must be rich,
23:49
dying some Easter eggs with kids.
23:54
We did that like last year
23:55
still with my daughter.
23:57
She'll be twenty five in
24:01
July and she still loves
24:04
dying Easter eggs.
24:06
But man,
24:07
they want so much money for a
24:09
dozen eggs right now.
24:10
It is insane.
24:16
And I don't I mean,
24:18
I've heard it's like the Asian bird flu,
24:20
but that has gone away.
24:22
Yet we're still like
24:23
charging a fortune for a dozen eggs.
24:27
Like, what's the deal with that?
24:29
And why?
24:30
Why?
24:31
Why are eggs the thing that I mean,
24:34
my chicken prices didn't go up.
24:37
At the same rate the egg prices did.
24:40
I'm really thoroughly
24:41
confused at the reasoning
24:42
behind all of this.
24:44
It just doesn't seem to make any sense.
24:50
Maybe I should buy some chickens.
24:54
Put them in my backyard and
24:55
do my own eggs.
24:57
I used to eat so many eggs a day.
25:01
That when we would go to the store,
25:03
like the checkout person would go like,
25:05
are you guys baking cakes?
25:07
Because there were so many dozen eggs.
25:10
And I've really backed off
25:12
to like not eating eggs for
25:15
the last couple months just
25:16
because the expense is way too much.
25:22
And I miss it.
25:23
I miss having some eggs in the morning.
25:29
And I really miss having
25:30
deviled eggs at Easter.
25:33
I love a good deviled egg.
25:35
I like any kind of egg.
25:36
Like poached eggs.
25:37
I like poached eggs.
25:38
I like eggs once over easy.
25:43
I like... I'm not a big scrambled egg guy,
25:47
but I can do it.
25:53
So...
25:57
We did an Easter egg hunt
25:58
until like two years ago.
26:01
My daughter and I did an
26:03
Easter egg hunt against each other.
26:04
My wife had hid them.
26:06
She made us do it at night
26:07
where we couldn't see.
26:08
We had to use flashlights,
26:11
which made it a little more
26:13
difficult for sure.
26:17
That was crazy.
26:25
I guess the last thing I'll talk about is,
26:28
I don't know if you saw my Instagram post,
26:30
but I finished a Lego
26:32
DeLorean time machine from
26:33
the Back to the Future movies.
26:35
And I broke down and I ended
26:38
up buying the light kit for it.
26:40
So I'm waiting for that to come.
26:41
And it's supposed to be like, at a minimum,
26:44
a two-hour build to pull
26:46
apart the bricks and to put
26:48
the lights and the wires
26:50
into the bricks so they're hidden.
26:53
But when it's all done,
26:54
like the headlights will light up,
26:55
the taillights will light up,
26:58
the flux capacitor will light up,
26:59
the inside of the car will light up,
27:03
and then all of the hoses
27:05
coming down the side of the
27:06
car will light up as well.
27:10
So I'm super excited about that.
27:12
And the reason I did that is
27:13
when it sits in the sun and
27:15
the sunlight shines through
27:17
the glass bricks of the car,
27:19
it looks phenomenal.
27:21
but you only get that like
27:22
in that natural sunlight kind of thing.
27:25
And so I thought, what the heck,
27:28
I'll go ahead,
27:29
I'll buy this light kit to
27:32
put this together.
27:34
And everybody who's done it
27:35
says it's phenomenal when
27:36
you take the time to do it,
27:38
but it is a couple hour process.
27:41
And you have to pull the bricks apart,
27:43
put the wires in there and
27:45
then click them back together.
27:47
But it hides the wire inside the bricks.
27:50
So I'm super excited to see
27:51
what that looks like.
27:55
So hopefully those will be
27:56
here in the next couple days.
28:03
But yeah, that's what I do to relax,
28:05
to just kind of,
28:06
and nothing calms me down more than that.
28:09
Just the clicking of those
28:11
bricks together.
28:12
It's like I'm accomplishing
28:13
something and it makes me
28:15
feel so much better.
28:17
So much better.
28:20
Well, with that guys,
28:27
of a slow news day and I
28:29
want to save some of the
28:29
tia claire stuff uh for the
28:31
sunday night show with uh
28:33
jamie and carolyn um more
28:39
of more of the people I
28:40
know that are in the
28:41
masters are getting their
28:42
emails validated and it's
28:44
official that they're
28:45
coming to columbus for the
28:47
masters crossfit games
28:48
which is going to be a
28:49
blast can't wait for that another net
28:55
It's time to get back to work,
28:56
you knuckleheads.
28:56
Lunchtime is over.
29:01
Oh,
29:01
Jay Birch signed up for the Masters
29:03
Games.
29:04
So it was to compete, Jay Birch?
29:08
Or to judge?
29:09
Oh, to volunteer.
29:11
Gotcha.
29:13
Didn't know if you paid the
29:14
man so much that you took a step up.
29:27
Last year,
29:28
they had three floors all
29:29
running at the same time,
29:30
which means you have to
29:31
have enough judges to cover
29:33
three floors at all times.
29:36
So I think your shot is pretty good.
29:40
That's a lot of people.
29:43
A lot of people.
29:45
And you just took your online L-One, right,
29:48
Jay Birch?
29:49
Do you have a certificate yet,
29:51
or are you still waiting on that?
29:54
Do you still have to test?
30:05
Andrew Sten says, yes,
30:06
we'll need a lot of judges.
30:08
Yeah, they are the,
30:10
I know they get a lot of flack sometimes.
30:13
They are the unsung heroes
30:14
of these events.
30:15
You have ten lanes, three floors,
30:17
that's thirty judges at one time.
30:20
And if you want to give
30:22
anybody a break during the day,
30:24
you need to,
30:29
you need to have probably
30:30
double that at least.
30:35
Jaybert says he signed his agreement,
30:37
so he should be finished.
30:38
That is awesome.
30:40
That is so awesome.
30:42
I can't wait to see you out on the floor,
30:43
buddy.
30:49
Maybe Andrew will be your head judge.
30:55
so yeah judges are the
30:57
unsung heroes of these
30:58
events it takes a lot of
31:00
them they don't get paid
31:02
they volunteer their time
31:04
they do it for a free meal
31:06
sometimes they don't even
31:07
get that sometimes it you
31:09
know they're working so
31:10
hard they get a cold
31:11
version of the meal um you
31:16
know an hour after the fact
31:17
that it came out but uh but yeah
31:23
That's why I love when the
31:24
athletes go out and shake
31:25
the hand and thank the
31:25
judge because that means a ton to them.
31:28
It just means a ton.
31:32
Andrew will be one of the
31:33
three head judges.
31:35
So that's awesome.
31:36
I didn't doubt that for a minute.
31:42
Andrew is one of the biggest
31:43
supporters in the judging
31:44
world for the Masters community.
31:47
And he should be head judge
31:50
for that event for sure.
31:53
All right, guys.
31:55
With that, sorry,
31:57
we don't have a ton to talk about today.
32:00
But I did get my iPad in the
32:02
mail yesterday.
32:04
So we are set up to do the
32:06
show live from the road
32:07
next week once we hit the road.
32:10
So that's going to be fun.
32:11
There'll be lots to talk about there.
32:14
And we'll have some results
32:15
Sunday night for Copasaur.
32:17
And we'll talk about the TIA
32:18
news a little bit more.
32:20
Maybe we'll have some
32:20
clarity by the time we go
32:22
on air Sunday night.
32:24
With that, guys, get back to work.
32:26
Lunchtime's over.
32:27
We'll see everybody next
32:28
time on Lunch with the Clydesdale.
32:31
Bye, guys.
