Clydesdale Media Roundtable | Dave is Castro Now The Media Department & He's Good! · Clydesdale Media Podcast

0:27
What's going on, everybody?
0:28
Welcome to the Gladstone Media Roundtable,
0:32
where I played out the fact
0:35
that haste makes waste.
0:38
I hurried up, set up this episode today,
0:42
this morning, went really fast,
0:45
put in the wrong time.
0:46
That's okay.
0:47
We're here.
0:48
Yeah.
0:49
Here we are.
0:50
And guess what?
0:53
What's up?
0:55
Project, check.
0:58
Deck, done.
0:59
It's done.
0:59
I literally, I mean,
1:01
I'm still wearing some of that.
1:02
See, yep, here we go.
1:05
I literally just,
1:06
I finished it like 11.45
1:08
and then I took a quick shower,
1:10
but all of the trim work is done.
1:12
So before you painted it gray,
1:19
did you paint it again or
1:20
did you stain it?
1:22
so it's it's called deck
1:24
over so it's like a
1:25
particular type of paint
1:28
deck stain is it slick when
1:31
it gets wet no okay it's
1:33
actually textured
1:35
Gotcha.
1:37
But question.
1:38
Yeah, that was the easy part.
1:40
The part that's the pain was
1:41
I have white trim like all around it.
1:45
And and the fence,
1:47
the fence was the most just
1:49
like a little side fence.
1:51
That was the most challenging.
1:52
And the last time I did,
1:54
I got a lot of paint on the
1:57
patio and Scott Rudowsky
1:59
didn't like that.
2:00
So I had to be really cautious this time.
2:05
There you go.
2:06
And I did it.
2:07
I'm done.
2:08
Yeah.
2:09
And the only thing Scott had
2:10
to help me do was just use
2:12
the power tools on cutting the wood,
2:14
but everything else I did,
2:15
I used the other power
2:16
tools for the project.
2:20
So you were, so just to recap,
2:22
you replaced old damaged boards.
2:27
And I removed those damaged boards.
2:28
It wasn't like I could just unscrew them.
2:31
I,
2:31
it had about 200 nails that I had to pry
2:34
and remove.
2:37
Okay.
2:38
That was a lot.
2:39
That's why I needed to tell you that part.
2:40
Cause it wasn't just then replace.
2:43
Well, as I learned, you can't just,
2:47
even if it's all screws,
2:48
because usually the screws
2:50
break off or the wood gets
2:51
too soft and it won't grab
2:53
to come out or all that kind of stuff.
2:56
Yeah.
2:57
So, yeah.
2:58
So I replaced all of those
2:59
boards and then I painted all of that,
3:02
the deck,
3:03
and then I painted all of the
3:05
trim around the deck.
3:07
Very cool.
3:08
That is project number two of summer, Amy.
3:13
I had two exciting things this weekend.
3:15
I got my first ripe tomato
3:18
off of my little mini
3:19
garden that I started this year.
3:22
How big was it?
3:24
About yay.
3:25
Okay.
3:26
Yeah.
3:27
Enough to like put a slice on a sandwich.
3:29
Yeah.
3:29
You know,
3:30
there's nothing better than a
3:32
homegrown tomato for real.
3:33
Oh no.
3:34
Yeah.
3:35
maybe my favorite pure food
3:37
in the world yeah yeah I
3:41
love tomatoes so much that
3:43
my insides of my mouth will
3:44
get all like those blisters
3:46
from eating too much acid
3:48
yeah too acidic yeah
3:51
because two of my favorite
3:52
things in the world are
3:53
pineapple and tomatoes both
3:55
of them just wreck the
3:57
insides of my mouth and you
3:58
probably put them on a
3:59
pizza like a sandwich absolutely not
4:04
No.
4:04
Tomatoes on a salad, yes.
4:07
Tomatoes on a pizza, yes.
4:09
Pineapple, neither.
4:11
Good.
4:12
You know where I like to
4:13
have my fresh tomatoes is
4:16
on cottage cheese with salt and pepper.
4:22
Okay.
4:23
That's not a weird thing.
4:26
That's a thing.
4:26
Okay.
4:29
Okay.
4:31
all right okay corey leonard
4:33
says fresh tomato and salt
4:34
with salt and pepper agreed
4:38
with cottage cheese okay
4:43
speaking of corey I may
4:45
send him a link because he
4:46
has a bizarre way to make
4:48
chad interesting and I
4:49
actually have that on our
4:50
list for later in the show
4:52
oh so I may have to send
4:53
him a link for him to share
4:56
how to make chad interesting
5:00
if he's up for it.
5:02
I'm sure he is.
5:05
So the other big exciting
5:06
news for me this weekend was,
5:08
have you seen the new Beverly Hills cop?
5:11
Um, no, I haven't seen it,
5:16
but I do love that movie in general.
5:18
So you, so it's already out.
5:20
It's on Netflix.
5:21
It was a Netflix release.
5:23
Oh, well then I'll do that today.
5:26
Yeah.
5:26
It was very nostalgic, very throwback.
5:31
Like as a standalone movie,
5:32
I probably wouldn't give it
5:33
like a super high grade.
5:35
Yeah.
5:36
And taking you back to the originals.
5:40
Muy bueno.
5:41
Okay.
5:43
So what I'm hearing is
5:43
better than Roadhouse remake.
5:47
I never watched it.
5:50
I know you didn't.
5:51
I was just trying to bring that back in.
5:55
bring that back in here.
5:56
Yeah.
5:57
Like I loved one and two,
5:59
not a fan of three.
6:01
This one, I was a bigger fan of than three,
6:03
much bigger fan than three.
6:07
Corey Leonard says he enjoyed it as well.
6:09
Okay.
6:11
So yeah, definitely,
6:12
definitely worth a watch.
6:17
Anything else going on with you this week?
6:19
You went away for the weekend.
6:21
I did.
6:21
I went to near Seven Springs
6:25
in Pennsylvania.
6:26
My sister lives in Philly,
6:27
so it's a good halfway meeting point.
6:30
It's typically a ski resort area,
6:32
but we just had a cabin with my parents,
6:38
my sister and her kids,
6:38
and then my family.
6:42
We went hiking one day and
6:44
then mostly just played
6:45
games and hung out together.
6:48
Do you ever go into seven
6:49
Springs and like do the,
6:51
the like toboggan run on
6:53
wheels or any of that?
6:54
You've done all that.
6:55
Yeah.
6:56
Um, this time we just,
6:59
we really were there for
7:00
such a short time that we
7:01
just didn't make it over there.
7:03
And then, um,
7:04
and then we celebrated my
7:06
daughter's 19th birthday.
7:09
So last year as a teenager
7:11
in this area and that was it.
7:17
Wow.
7:19
Yeah,
7:19
sometimes it's just good to get away.
7:20
I have a weekend planned next weekend.
7:25
We're going to Indian Lake
7:26
for the weekend.
7:27
Oh, good.
7:29
I'm curious how the
7:30
rebuilding over there has gone.
7:33
Well,
7:33
we rented the house before the
7:34
tornado hit.
7:35
Okay.
7:36
So then there was the fear,
7:38
is the house still there?
7:40
Right.
7:41
Right.
7:41
So we checked on all that.
7:42
It's still there.
7:44
We do have a pontoon boat
7:45
rented for all day Saturday.
7:47
Okay.
7:48
Okay.
7:49
And just you and Julie or is
7:51
Corey and her friend?
7:54
Yes, all those and some family friends.
7:58
Cool.
8:00
So yeah.
8:01
So the one thing I didn't
8:02
know is to rent a pontoon boats,
8:04
someone has to like have boat experience.
8:07
Yeah, that's a good thing.
8:10
Yeah.
8:11
So a friend of ours,
8:13
her boyfriend is a boater.
8:16
And so he's gonna man the
8:18
pontoon boat for the day.
8:19
That's good because,
8:20
and you'll be glad for that
8:21
because if you look at all
8:22
the like little accidents
8:24
and things that happen over
8:25
at Allen Creek,
8:25
it's because people are
8:26
driving boats that have no experience.
8:29
Okay.
8:30
Especially like just the rules of,
8:32
of whatever body of water you're on,
8:35
you know,
8:35
like they're about where you drive.
8:38
And especially if you're
8:40
towing a skier or if you're
8:41
towing a tuber,
8:42
like there's certain rules
8:43
that you got to abide by.
8:44
So you'll be glad that
8:46
somebody knows what's up.
8:47
All of my experiences on a jet ski.
8:49
Okay.
8:50
So yeah, see,
8:50
you need some experience with
8:52
boating for sure.
8:53
When we lived in Florida,
8:54
I jet skied all the time.
8:56
Yeah.
8:56
So like not a wave runner,
8:58
like stand up jet ski?
9:00
No, no, no.
9:01
Wave runner.
9:01
Wave runner.
9:02
Okay.
9:02
Yeah.
9:03
Yeah.
9:05
Yeah.
9:05
And I, oh gosh, I miss it.
9:07
Although I don't know if my
9:08
back could handle it.
9:09
Oh yeah.
9:10
Yeah.
9:12
Yeah.
9:13
Because I know I went one
9:15
time with a sore back in
9:16
the Outer Banks and it just
9:18
about killed me.
9:18
Just the hopping on the ripples even.
9:25
Well, I'm going on vacation this Thursday.
9:27
Where are you heading to?
9:30
FLA, Florida.
9:31
All right.
9:34
What part?
9:35
Fort Myers.
9:36
Okay.
9:37
Nice.
9:38
I am meeting a friend of
9:39
mine from high school who she lives in.
9:42
virginia and we're gonna
9:44
meet there and just the two
9:46
of us we're just gonna have
9:47
a fun week so it's actually
9:50
over her birthday is july
9:51
12th and mine's the 16th so
9:53
we're going over both of
9:54
our birthdays nice yeah you
9:57
have a lot of friends from
9:58
high school yeah I don't
10:01
have any I mean my
10:02
husband's one of them you
10:03
know that's true yeah like
10:07
I don't keep in touch with
10:08
anybody from high school
10:10
Yeah, I have a group of people I do, yeah.
10:14
I mean, if I see them,
10:15
like we're still friendly
10:16
or they'll drop a note on
10:18
Facebook or whatever.
10:22
You know,
10:22
not like I hate them all or
10:23
anything like that,
10:24
but just it's not something
10:26
like I keep a close relationship with.
10:28
Well,
10:29
I didn't really have like college
10:30
friends because I mean, I did have some,
10:33
but like I didn't like live
10:35
in the dorm or have that
10:36
kind of experience living
10:38
so close to Ohio State.
10:39
So like a lot of my friends
10:41
were either just like maybe
10:42
acquaintances in class or
10:44
my high school friends kind
10:45
of carried over.
10:47
Yeah.
10:48
I was kind of a vagabond
10:49
after high school.
10:51
So I didn't stay in touch
10:52
with many people because I
10:53
went to like 13 different colleges.
10:55
You did.
10:56
It took you like 27 years to graduate.
10:59
Correct.
11:00
So all of those things led
11:02
up to not really staying in
11:04
any one place long enough
11:05
to develop a long-term
11:08
relationship with anybody.
11:10
Yeah.
11:12
So maybe that's just who I am.
11:15
Yeah.
11:15
A wanderer.
11:16
You are.
11:17
Just a little wanderer.
11:18
This week I'm going to
11:19
Michigan for CrossFit though.
11:23
Okay.
11:23
Where in Michigan?
11:25
Lake Michigan.
11:26
It's Fresh Coast Fitness Festival.
11:32
It's a team competition.
11:34
We had the director on
11:35
Sunday night right before
11:36
the show started at 745.
11:39
But Rich Froning is going to be there.
11:41
Dan Bailey is going to be there.
11:44
It's back where Rich kind of grew up.
11:47
Yeah.
11:47
Yeah.
11:48
Yeah.
11:48
So him and his cousin
11:49
started going to this
11:50
competition as a team.
11:51
One of his cousins couldn't
11:52
do it this year.
11:54
So Dan Bailey's filling in.
11:56
That's cool.
11:58
So we're going to actually,
11:59
it's going to be like a
12:00
trial run to do it behind the scenes.
12:03
Yeah.
12:04
Competition before we go to
12:06
the masters games to do it
12:08
and just kind of try out
12:10
some different techniques and stuff.
12:11
Yeah.
12:12
Because fresh coast is
12:13
giving me full access to everything.
12:18
That's really nice for that access.
12:21
Yeah.
12:22
So it's going to be fun.
12:23
And most of the competitors
12:26
are not like Rich Roning and Dan Bailey.
12:30
Yeah.
12:31
Local people that have signed up.
12:33
It's just like a local comp.
12:35
But it's growing and growing
12:36
because of being on the beach.
12:39
The rig is built on the beach.
12:41
Yeah.
12:42
And the first event is a
12:44
redo of the 2014 raft race
12:47
that the teams did.
12:48
Okay.
12:49
In the ocean.
12:50
Do you remember that?
12:50
Yes, I do.
12:51
Yeah.
12:52
So they are redoing that as
12:54
the first event.
12:57
Yeah.
12:58
You have to take that raft
12:59
out in the Lake Michigan,
13:01
go around a buoy and come back in.
13:05
That sounds fun though.
13:06
I mean.
13:07
Yeah.
13:08
It's going to be fun.
13:11
I'd much rather swim in a
13:12
lake than an ocean yeah
13:14
much yeah although you
13:17
don't get the buoyancy of
13:18
the salt water okay you
13:21
know yeah I agree parks
13:22
either yeah so I feel like
13:26
that's kind of a better
13:27
deal um so yeah so that's
13:32
going to be fun and I guess
13:34
with that I can announce
13:35
yesterday morning
13:37
Finally got to talk to the
13:38
head of the Masters
13:39
CrossFit Games and we got full access.
13:43
We are going to do a behind
13:45
the scenes of the Masters CrossFit Games.
13:47
That is freaking awesome.
13:50
Birmingham, Alabama.
13:51
So.
13:52
Yeah.
13:54
is super cool I'm super
13:56
stoked I'm more relieved
13:58
than anything because I've
13:58
been this has been a back
14:00
and forth for like a month
14:01
and a half yeah I'm just
14:02
negotiating everything and
14:04
making sure not messing up
14:05
the streams or the whatever
14:08
but yeah so super cool with
14:10
that um kenneth de lapp is
14:14
asking when are the
14:15
clydesdale thick boy shirts
14:16
dropping so we are still
14:20
designing and the owner of
14:23
thick boy just moved
14:24
Where'd he move to?
14:25
He moved to Knoxville, Tennessee.
14:27
That's fun.
14:28
So what may happen,
14:30
what we're trying to make
14:31
happen is a short run print
14:34
of Clydesdale shirts for me
14:36
to have on hand at the games.
14:40
And if you want one,
14:42
I'll be selling them there.
14:46
And then we'll put like,
14:47
then we'll put them out on
14:48
a website for everybody to order.
14:52
But we're trying to go with
14:53
something different and
14:54
cool like that bleached
14:58
Outlook shirt or more like
15:00
a tie-dye-ish look with the new logo.
15:05
Maybe in a yellow or a blue
15:08
version of that where the
15:11
shirt is that color and
15:12
then the logo will be black and white.
15:18
So that's what we're looking at.
15:21
So...
15:22
I had,
15:23
I thought one fun thing that we could do.
15:26
Did you see WAD Zombies,
15:28
other recent post?
15:31
About picking your team.
15:34
Pick your team of four?
15:35
Yeah.
15:37
So I do,
15:38
I actually have his Instagram up
15:39
right now because one of
15:41
the topics I wanted to talk to you about.
15:43
So we'll do this one.
15:44
Then I'll go to what you're talking about.
15:45
Okay.
15:45
Okay.
15:46
Cause I already have this one up.
15:48
Yeah.
15:48
So, um,
15:50
wads on be reported in the evening.
15:52
Wiped down breaking Dave
15:55
Castor to undergo back
15:56
surgery for injury
15:57
sustained while carrying
15:58
CrossFit media team.
16:01
I mean,
16:03
have you seen the interviews Dave's
16:04
been doing?
16:05
Yeah.
16:07
They are so good.
16:08
Yeah.
16:09
It's awesome.
16:10
I'm loving it.
16:14
He's saying things like,
16:15
it's such a delight getting to know you.
16:19
Cole Sager, you're the beacon of light.
16:23
Who is this guy?
16:24
Yeah.
16:26
I think we're learning as
16:27
much about him as we are
16:29
about the athletes.
16:30
I totally agree.
16:31
I think it's making him more personable.
16:33
Yeah.
16:36
more relatable.
16:38
Exactly.
16:39
Exactly.
16:42
So, but he's like,
16:45
until he started doing this,
16:46
we saw nothing from class
16:47
from a CrossFit media.
16:49
And now they're like putting
16:50
out real after real,
16:51
but they make no damn sense.
16:54
And I didn't understand what
16:55
Hiller's most recent post was.
16:59
They tagged the wrong Brooke Wells.
17:02
Okay.
17:03
And they're like,
17:03
no wonder they're not
17:04
getting any traction.
17:05
Wait.
17:06
You tagged a Brooke Wells
17:08
that has 100 followers.
17:11
Okay, that's not the one.
17:12
The one that has 1.5 million.
17:15
The one I'm talking about.
17:17
The Roman Jeff Adler one?
17:20
No, from 14 hours ago.
17:24
Not sure how you deny the
17:25
individual who runs your CrossFit media.
17:28
Yeah,
17:28
he got denied his application for
17:34
media credentials at the games.
17:35
Okay, so that's what he's saying.
17:37
You're skipping all over my notes, Amy.
17:39
I'm sorry.
17:39
I need to take a picture of
17:45
him and send him to you
17:46
before we go live.
17:46
Yeah, that might help.
17:51
Back to your agenda.
17:53
Just your thoughts about
17:54
Dave's interviews.
17:56
Yeah,
17:57
what I was talking about just being
17:59
more relatable, I think, is a big help.
18:02
And, you know,
18:03
we have always kind of talked about that.
18:05
Like any interaction that
18:06
we've ever had with him at the games,
18:09
he is awesome.
18:11
And I think sometimes he comes off as this,
18:13
I don't care, you know, like kind of guy,
18:16
like attitude.
18:16
Like remember Dave Castro was a prick and,
18:19
you know, all that kind of stuff.
18:20
But he has always been in
18:24
person a wonderful person.
18:26
person to interact with.
18:27
And so I think it's cool
18:28
that we're all getting to,
18:29
to experience that.
18:31
Yeah.
18:32
Do you have a favorite one?
18:35
I don't think, I don't know.
18:38
I mean, no, I don't, I don't.
18:47
So the, so I have two big ones,
18:49
the pot guy to one.
18:53
he's from United Arab Emirates.
18:59
So full of energy.
19:00
He couldn't stop.
19:02
It was like he was a fanboy
19:04
getting to Santa Claus on Christmas Day.
19:07
And then the other one is
19:09
Moritz Fiebig because he is
19:12
so attached to his
19:12
affiliate and talked a lot
19:15
about what CrossFit does for
19:19
The every everyday office
19:20
worker or in the mom and the,
19:23
and I said Sunday night,
19:25
and I'll say it again here.
19:26
If CrossFit doesn't take
19:27
that interview and chop it
19:28
up and use it on for, for, for reels,
19:32
they're missing a big, big opportunity.
19:36
Go ahead.
19:38
We know that they will not do it.
19:42
Right.
19:43
Right.
19:43
I should be like killer and
19:44
just grab it myself and, and make a reel.
19:50
Cause you notice like killer
19:51
is taking every one of
19:52
Dave's interviews and
19:53
making a reel out of it.
19:55
Right.
19:55
And doing it in a better way
19:57
than like whoever is doing
19:59
Dave's and I'm assuming
20:01
someone at CrossFit.
20:02
Yeah.
20:03
Yeah.
20:05
So, yeah.
20:08
All right.
20:08
You wanted to play the WAD zombie game.
20:10
Yeah.
20:11
I want to play that game.
20:12
All right.
20:13
So I already played it in my head,
20:15
but now I want to play it here.
20:19
All righty.
20:21
Here we go.
20:21
Okay.
20:24
You have a head to head competition.
20:26
You get to select two males
20:28
and two females.
20:29
The remaining athletes are
20:30
your opposing team.
20:33
Who are you picking?
20:37
But the athletes are all in their prime.
20:40
They're all in their prime.
20:41
Yeah.
20:43
So I'm definitely picking Kalipa.
20:47
I'm going men first.
20:48
Sorry.
20:48
I'm going Kalipa.
20:51
And Annie and Briggs.
20:59
Very close to the one I
21:01
picked and put on a comment.
21:03
Okay.
21:04
But I have Annie and Briggs.
21:06
There are no more fierce
21:08
competitors than the two of them.
21:11
Yeah,
21:11
that's why I'm talking about Wad Zombie.
21:15
He'll put Con Porter on the next one.
21:17
Yeah.
21:18
And then I have Pancheck and Smith.
21:22
To me,
21:23
they're the most well-rounded athletes.
21:27
Yeah.
21:29
Ben Smith's the only games
21:30
winner on that list.
21:33
But Kalipa did it at a time
21:34
where it wasn't really the same.
21:37
I mean, I, and I even thought about that.
21:39
Like I was like, I know Smith, but I just,
21:41
I still didn't pick him.
21:42
Like I just.
21:47
Corey Leonard said the only
21:48
acceptable answers are Pancheck Smith,
21:50
Katrin, and Annie.
21:51
Well, here's my thing.
21:53
To decide what we say.
21:54
Sam Briggs in her prime.
21:56
You have to remember,
21:56
Sam started so late because
21:59
she was older when CrossFit
22:01
began competing.
22:02
You got to remember,
22:04
she's like 45 years old now.
22:07
Not quite, but definitely in her... Yeah.
22:09
But...
22:13
back in the day,
22:14
like everybody thought she
22:16
was a terminator,
22:17
like a cyborg sent from another planet.
22:21
Corey says, Catherine and Andy both want.
22:22
Yes.
22:23
So did Briggs.
22:25
Yeah.
22:28
But Sam didn't get to play in her prime.
22:30
Yeah.
22:32
That's so you're saying in
22:33
their prime and Sam was
22:38
going toe to toe with Andy.
22:39
She was the only one giving
22:40
her competition.
22:45
If, and I'm OG,
22:46
if you remember at the time,
22:48
either Sam or Annie was
22:50
always hurt and you never
22:51
got to see them go head to head.
22:58
Sam Briggs does things that
23:01
are not humanly possible.
23:04
And she was older than
23:05
everybody else when she was doing it.
23:07
Yep.
23:09
let her be five years
23:10
younger and compete with Annie.
23:13
Nobody on the planet is
23:14
coming close to them.
23:22
I stick by my, my answer and Ben Smith,
23:26
my God, like guys podiumed four times.
23:29
I know.
23:30
I don't know why I just, isn't that funny?
23:34
I mean, it's not funny,
23:35
but I just didn't pick him.
23:38
He's just quiet and unassuming.
23:40
Yeah, I think that's what it is.
23:43
He doesn't need a lot of attention.
23:45
I like Josh now.
23:51
I like Josh a lot.
23:54
I watch a lot of his content,
23:56
but my distinct memory of
23:58
Josh Bridges is not being
24:00
able to deadlift the bar.
24:02
Because he did.
24:05
The 415 or the 405 or
24:06
whatever it was in that
24:07
event at the games and
24:09
taking his belt off and
24:10
chucking it because he
24:11
couldn't deadlift it.
24:13
Yeah.
24:14
And that's when I first
24:16
really started getting into
24:17
the CrossFit Games.
24:19
And so in my mind, that will always be.
24:21
And so I'll never pick him
24:22
on a team like this because
24:24
if you can't deadlift 405.
24:27
What are you even doing at
24:28
the CrossFit Games?
24:29
Right.
24:33
Yeah.
24:37
So, yeah.
24:38
I thought this was great, Wild Zombie.
24:39
Great.
24:40
Yeah, I liked it.
24:42
I could not believe the
24:43
different combinations that
24:43
came out in the comments.
24:48
And I am very strong in my opinion,
24:50
and I'm sure everybody else
24:51
is strong in theirs.
24:54
So, I thought that was pretty cool.
24:56
Yeah.
25:00
So...
25:03
Demo team got announced?
25:05
Yes.
25:08
So we got Sydney.
25:12
Wells.
25:13
Yep.
25:13
Annika.
25:15
Greer.
25:16
And Tristan.
25:18
Trista.
25:19
Trista.
25:19
Sorry, Trista.
25:21
Trista Smith.
25:22
And then we got Colton Mertens.
25:25
Scott Tetlow.
25:27
Tudor Magda.
25:29
Yep.
25:30
Look at that.
25:31
Awesome group.
25:32
Awesome group.
25:33
I was talking with Karen a
25:34
little bit yesterday when this came out.
25:36
And the only thing that's
25:38
weird for me is like the
25:40
guys don't have like a runner.
25:44
Right.
25:44
Like a runner test runner.
25:47
Yeah.
25:47
That engine.
25:48
Yeah.
25:49
Now Sydney's that for the girls.
25:53
But like they don't really.
25:54
So it's just interesting.
25:57
The makeup because really
25:59
Scott Tetlow and Colton
26:00
Mertens are the same athlete.
26:03
Yeah.
26:04
I was thinking about, I was like,
26:06
this seems like a very short.
26:09
Well, well sit Colton can run,
26:12
but he's not like the runner.
26:14
Yeah.
26:14
Yeah.
26:15
He's improved a lot.
26:16
He's not.
26:17
Yeah.
26:17
Yeah.
26:17
He's not going to,
26:18
he's not going to do an Adler.
26:21
Right.
26:22
He's not going to do a,
26:23
like a yellow host or a
26:25
Brent Fikowski guys that can actually run,
26:28
run.
26:30
So I think it's weird that
26:33
Tetlow and Colton are both
26:34
on this team together.
26:37
That seems odd to me,
26:38
but I love that Scott got
26:39
the opportunity.
26:40
Yeah.
26:41
Right?
26:42
Yeah.
26:42
So don't get me wrong.
26:43
And I think Annika will love it.
26:47
I think it's going to be
26:47
good for Tudor and Annika
26:49
as young athletes trying to
26:51
get over that hump.
26:52
Yeah.
26:52
This might be the little push they need.
26:55
Mm-hmm.
26:58
Kenneth says a lot of
26:58
Clydesdale alums on the team.
27:00
Yeah, it does.
27:02
I bet you we did four of the
27:08
six first podcasts.
27:11
I know we did Sydney's first podcast.
27:13
I know we did Colton's first podcast.
27:15
I think we did Annika's first podcast.
27:17
Yeah, I think we did.
27:19
And I think we did Scott
27:21
Tetlow's first podcast.
27:23
He's been on it several times, I think.
27:26
Yeah.
27:27
Yeah.
27:27
A lot.
27:29
So...
27:30
the other thing that came up
27:31
with Carolyn is your twin
27:34
sister is demoing and you're competing.
27:39
How much of a conflict of
27:40
interest is that?
27:45
I mean, they have,
27:46
I'm assuming have to sign an NDA.
27:49
Yeah.
27:49
But twins have that thing, right?
27:51
Where.
27:53
Yeah, but I think it's, I get it,
27:55
but I think it also would
27:56
be unfair to not let her do
27:58
it just because of that.
28:00
So Carolyn is a twin.
28:02
I didn't know that.
28:03
Yeah.
28:03
And she said if her sister
28:05
was on the demo team, doggone right.
28:07
She's going to know some stuff.
28:10
Okay.
28:11
Like just, it just is what it is.
28:13
Yeah.
28:14
Right.
28:15
And Carolyn is the most like she's,
28:18
she pounds a drum about
28:19
like people from camp should be,
28:21
shouldn't be on the demo
28:22
team because they share
28:24
with the rest of the camp,
28:25
things like that.
28:26
Um,
28:28
Yeah.
28:29
That's the only thing that
28:32
seems a bit odd about the demo team.
28:35
Yeah.
28:37
Yeah.
28:37
So it doesn't mean that
28:39
they're the testers for Dave either.
28:41
No.
28:43
Those are the testers.
28:44
It's already happened.
28:45
I think the one thing we
28:46
learned from Dave in these
28:47
interviews are he's
28:49
bringing people in for just
28:50
a couple events or one
28:51
event and not the whole thing.
28:54
Mm-hmm.
28:55
So, like,
28:56
the testers don't even know the
28:58
whole plan.
29:00
I think that's good, though.
29:02
Andy's not releasing those
29:03
names because he doesn't
29:04
want them approached.
29:06
Yep.
29:08
Yeah.
29:09
Well,
29:10
we know they've done some testing
29:12
here in Columbus.
29:14
They're doing it this week
29:15
here in Columbus for the teams.
29:18
I just happen to know where that is.
29:20
Are they doing it at Shred?
29:25
No.
29:25
okay but do you remember do
29:29
you remember how cool that
29:30
was like we would get a
29:31
notice like on facebook oh
29:32
hey the the team black is
29:35
working out or team red is
29:36
working out at rogue if
29:37
anybody wants to come over
29:38
are you kidding no it was
29:41
so cool those were the best
29:42
days those really were um
29:49
So, so that was done.
29:50
I think that's super awesome.
29:52
Again, huge fans of tutor and Anika.
29:55
And I really think this is a
29:57
good step for them to kind
29:59
of get over the hump of what,
30:02
because they're both like
30:03
really good athletes and
30:04
they just need that,
30:06
that 1% to get them over that hump.
30:10
Yeah.
30:13
Uh, Chad was released.
30:16
Yes.
30:17
Yes.
30:19
Yes.
30:23
Any thoughts?
30:24
You've done it.
30:25
I have.
30:26
I've done it several times.
30:28
My one thought was that is
30:32
going to suck to judge.
30:36
because as a lot of reps to count and just,
30:40
I know myself, no,
30:41
I'm not a professional judge, obviously,
30:43
but I do know a thing or
30:44
two about CrossFit and know
30:47
a thing or two about your,
30:49
your mind just drifting.
30:51
So I know like during the open,
30:53
sometimes you're counting
30:54
double unders or something.
30:55
And there's so many that
30:57
sometimes you just kind of
30:59
like start thinking about something else.
31:00
And then you're like, shit, what,
31:02
what number am I at?
31:03
You know?
31:05
Um, I'm,
31:06
I'm interested to know what the twist is.
31:10
So do you think the twist is
31:13
step over so that they
31:15
don't have to extend at the top,
31:17
but then it's a different workout.
31:18
You're right.
31:19
You have to come to full extension.
31:22
It's on those.
31:23
It's completely different.
31:25
Yeah.
31:25
Um, the,
31:27
the thing I was starting to think
31:28
about too was, um, you know,
31:31
not knowing when they're going to do it,
31:32
but I know if
31:34
Myself,
31:35
I'm not an elite athlete at that level.
31:37
I might be semi-elite athlete.
31:41
Just the eccentric loading
31:44
on the calves can really wreck you.
31:49
And so it had me wondering, okay,
31:50
when is that going to be placed?
31:52
Is that going to be, you know,
31:55
interfering with stuff?
31:56
But, you know,
31:58
the games is about finding the fittest.
32:00
I've seen, what, who was it?
32:03
Make Wads Great Again, which is what?
32:06
Wooly Mimith.
32:08
Yeah, I saw his...
32:14
comments and that made me
32:16
think about to the if
32:17
you're wanting to grow the
32:18
sport that that isn't the
32:22
most appealing but I don't
32:24
think it should also be
32:26
necessarily something that
32:28
has to be like oh great
32:29
this is for the viewers
32:31
experience totally but I
32:33
don't know so for I a
32:35
friend of ours has an idea
32:38
about the special twist okay
32:40
So I decided to send him a
32:41
link and let him come on
32:43
and tell us about this
32:46
twist that he thinks is going to happen.
32:49
And you tell me if you think
32:50
it's going to be possible.
32:51
Okay.
32:53
Corey Leonard, special guest.
32:55
Hey, y'all.
32:57
What's up?
32:57
Hey, y'all.
32:58
Give me one second.
32:59
I'm going to turn all the way down.
33:01
All right.
33:01
So Chad, right?
33:05
Everybody's strapped up,
33:06
got their go-rucks on.
33:08
They're not backpacks.
33:10
They're rucks.
33:11
They said it's going to make
33:13
it interesting, so hear me out.
33:16
We got all 80 athletes, all the men,
33:20
all the women.
33:21
They're lined up in some sort of corral,
33:24
some sort of entranceway
33:26
into whatever stadium
33:27
they're going to because I
33:28
don't remember where they said they were.
33:30
Three, two, one, go.
33:32
We cut all 80 of them loose
33:34
and the Bulls at the same time.
33:41
Hear me out, okay?
33:43
You got to ruck with the Bulls.
33:44
You've heard of running with the Bulls,
33:46
right?
33:47
This is rucking with the
33:48
Bulls at the games.
33:50
You want to be the fittest on earth?
33:51
Here we go.
33:52
So you got to rock with the
33:53
Bulls all the way into
33:55
wherever they got to go.
33:56
Stadium.
33:57
Make it however long you want.
33:58
Make it 1,000 meters.
33:59
Make it two miles.
34:00
Who cares?
34:01
Doesn't matter.
34:02
You get into the stadium,
34:04
there's 80 boxes set up.
34:07
One box for each person.
34:09
First person to 1,000 step-ups wins.
34:13
The Bulls are allowed to come in.
34:16
FYI.
34:17
Oh, and last little bit, last little bit.
34:22
First come, first serve on the boxes.
34:24
Get to it.
34:25
Get it done.
34:29
God bless.
34:30
Are the go-ruck sacks red?
34:35
Obviously.
34:37
Obviously.
34:37
See, Amy?
34:38
See?
34:39
You're on the same page.
34:40
They have to be.
34:41
I mean, if you're going to taunt them,
34:43
they've got to be wearing the red.
34:46
Just saying, dude.
34:46
Like, he wants them back.
34:47
That's going to get some viewers on ESPN.
34:51
I mean,
34:51
you're going to get the animal
34:53
lover haters on there.
34:55
Why?
34:56
The bulls ain't hurting.
34:56
Ain't nobody hurting the bull.
34:58
I mean, them dudes are strong,
35:00
but they ain't that strong.
35:01
Jesus Christ.
35:04
I think it could work, Amy.
35:06
Siobhan and The Spin have John Young.
35:10
And, you know,
35:11
Brian Friend is on Be Friendly.
35:15
But who do we have?
35:16
We have America's fittest
35:18
insurance salesman.
35:24
100%.
35:24
100%.
35:25
It's a new title.
35:26
And you don't get quality
35:28
analysis like this anywhere else.
35:32
I'm just saying.
35:34
And for people who don't know,
35:35
Fort Worth has a daily
35:38
cattle drive through the
35:41
stockades or stockyards in
35:44
downtown Fort Worth.
35:46
So you just time it up.
35:48
And on that day,
35:49
they're going to have 80
35:50
CrossFit athletes.
35:52
Line up the boxes.
35:54
There you go.
35:55
Done deal.
35:57
Now see, now I have another twist on this.
36:00
What you could do is you
36:01
could have a group of, you know,
36:03
they could decide like
36:04
maybe the athletes that
36:05
kind of just kind of squeaked in,
36:07
they might be like, you know what?
36:09
We're going to stand.
36:10
We're going to just stand
36:11
together and not let the
36:12
bulls come after the rest of the group.
36:14
See, here's the,
36:15
here's the other thing about, about that.
36:17
So, um,
36:20
Here in Louisiana,
36:21
we have Angola as the main prison.
36:23
Every year,
36:23
they have the Angola Prison Rodeo.
36:26
It is exactly what you think it is.
36:28
Prisoners get to go and do rodeo stuff.
36:31
One of the things they get
36:31
to do is they put them in
36:33
there with bulls.
36:34
They tape a thing to the
36:37
bull's head right in this area.
36:40
And if you get it off of them,
36:42
you get money for your
36:43
commissary or something
36:45
along those lines.
36:46
So,
36:48
Or those bubble athletes Amy
36:49
was just talking about.
36:50
I'm just saying,
36:53
you want to make your way into the games?
36:55
Get you one of those.
36:56
Bonus points?
36:57
Bonus points.
36:59
100%.
37:00
Chelsea Miller says,
37:01
I like that the insurance
37:02
guy wants to add bulls to an event.
37:06
And CrossFit's premium just
37:08
went through the roof.
37:10
100%.
37:10
You know what?
37:11
You were right.
37:12
That's what they were
37:12
thinking of when they
37:13
raised affiliate fees for everything.
37:15
They were like, we need...
37:18
You got to feed a lot of bulls.
37:19
You got to pay the insurance and all that.
37:21
I mean, that's, that's a lot of,
37:22
it's a lot of overhead.
37:23
And just the risk assessment too.
37:26
A hundred percent.
37:27
Yeah.
37:33
That's why,
37:34
that's why we bring on this dude, man.
37:35
I mean, I'm just saying, Hey,
37:37
you want to be on earth or not?
37:40
Well, I mean, you're right.
37:41
I'm going to be alive on earth.
37:45
Look,
37:46
that could be an easy way to make the
37:47
first cut.
37:51
Those who are not in the
37:52
medic tent get to move on.
37:54
You are not, yeah, 100%.
37:55
You have no broken bones by
37:56
the end of said event.
37:58
Boom, you're in.
38:02
Andrew Sten asks, does he get a bonus?
38:04
My question is,
38:05
do you get commission on this?
38:07
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
38:10
Oh, hey.
38:13
Murph wants to be one of the bulls.
38:17
I'm just saying, you're in cattle country.
38:20
Like Scott said,
38:20
they do that stockyard
38:23
freaking stampede every day.
38:25
It's just logical.
38:27
It makes sense.
38:29
It's the second off-site
38:31
location right in the
38:32
middle of the stockyards.
38:34
Done.
38:35
Look, Corbin Dallas,
38:36
demo team can be the clowns.
38:38
Perfect.
38:41
Just saying.
38:43
Scott Tetlow would wrestle the bull.
38:45
I've met that dude.
38:45
He is insane.
38:47
I think Colton could win that.
38:50
Absolutely, he could.
38:51
Colton used to deal with livestock.
38:54
Yeah.
38:57
Wow.
39:00
So, there you have it, folks.
39:03
Just saying.
39:04
When they announced it,
39:05
when Dave announced the twist,
39:06
just remember, you heard it here first.
39:09
Nice.
39:10
We'll remember.
39:13
You need to go back to work?
39:15
Do I need to kick you out?
39:15
No, not at all.
39:16
Subject.
39:21
Last subject is right before
39:22
we got on the air.
39:23
Well, actually, we have two subjects.
39:26
Right before we went on the air,
39:27
FitFest announced their
39:28
captains for this year's event in the UK.
39:33
If you did not see, it was Ariel Lowen,
39:37
who we'll have on at 4
39:37
o'clock this afternoon.
39:39
It is Emma McQuaid,
39:42
who we had on just last week.
39:46
Ricky Mack, the man from Australia,
39:51
and BKG.
39:53
That's so cool.
39:54
And it is going to have a
39:55
Europe versus the world theme.
39:59
Funny enough, as they announced that,
40:02
SoCal has started to
40:03
announce their lineup for
40:05
North America versus the
40:06
world in their team competition.
40:08
And Jeff Adler and Tia were
40:11
announced right before we went on air.
40:13
uh that they are I think the
40:15
captains maybe or no we get
40:17
to vote for the captains
40:18
once the teams are
40:19
announced on the captains
40:25
so let me ask you this
40:27
europe versus the world
40:28
right are they aware of the
40:30
fact that ariel is not from
40:32
europe had nobody ariel and
40:34
ricky would be the world captains um
40:38
BKG and Emma McQuaid would
40:39
be the Europe captains.
40:42
I'm just checking.
40:44
That's what I'm here for, just to clarify.
40:46
Yeah, that makes sense.
40:51
So my last topic,
40:53
and then we can get off for the day,
40:55
is third-party media credentials,
40:58
approval from CrossFit.
41:03
Hiller has announced, among others,
41:07
that they were denied their
41:08
applications for media
41:10
credentials to the CrossFit Games.
41:13
The two people I know,
41:14
the most prominent people I know,
41:15
are Hiller and CPT from
41:17
Training Think Tank.
41:19
Yep.
41:20
Those two got denial letters already.
41:25
I have not received a thing.
41:27
So I don't know if that's
41:28
good news or bad news.
41:32
I guess Siobhan,
41:32
right before we got on the air,
41:33
I was watching him.
41:35
He has not heard.
41:37
Yay or nay.
41:38
So hopefully that means good news.
41:43
But here we are again,
41:45
waiting and waiting.
41:49
Yes, indeed.
41:52
And for the first time ever,
41:53
I actually bought a plane
41:54
ticket and reserved a hotel
41:57
prior to getting the approval.
42:00
What's the cancellation fee?
42:02
Do you have 24 hours notice?
42:04
So I have cancellation on the hotel,
42:05
but I don't on the flight.
42:07
But here's the thing.
42:08
The beer garden's free.
42:12
So I'll just go hang out in
42:13
the beer garden with the people.
42:17
Easy peasy.
42:18
Yeah.
42:19
Take my camera.
42:21
Talk to people in the beer garden.
42:23
Your selective size camera.
42:25
Make sure you don't have a big lens.
42:27
No, no.
42:28
I got all the lenses, man.
42:30
I can go short or long, whatever you need.
42:33
Oh, boy.
42:34
Oh, boy.
42:35
I can service the crowd with
42:37
whatever length they need.
42:40
Amy,
42:40
does your deck look bigger now that
42:41
you trimmed the bushes?
42:43
Yeah.
42:43
Yeah, now we trimmed the bushes.
42:45
It definitely looks a lot bigger.
42:47
It's looking good out there.
42:49
They call that the visual inch.
42:53
So who was it?
42:54
I think when I texted Charlie, he goes,
42:57
you're not supposed to know our secrets.
43:05
Scott, I would say no news is good news.
43:07
Yeah, I think it's actually good news.
43:10
We're supposed to hear this week.
43:11
I did reach out to...
43:13
Chris Madigan, the head of media,
43:17
on Sunday.
43:19
And he said that if you
43:20
applied before July 5th,
43:24
you will hear this week.
43:28
So I still haven't heard.
43:29
I keep checking my email.
43:31
And I do think it's a
43:32
positive that I haven't
43:33
heard because if people are
43:35
getting denied and publishing it,
43:37
I'm not in that group.
43:39
I mean, CTP is...
43:42
train thanks media like he's
43:44
their entire media
43:45
department yeah the rumor
43:48
is if you're with just a
43:50
specific camp yeah you're
43:51
not but we'll see what
43:53
happens with mayhem proven
43:55
hwpo yeah uh chelsea miller
44:01
don't judge me by my lens
44:02
size wad zombie it's all
44:05
about the angle too absolutely
44:12
And it's hilarious how all
44:13
over the place the
44:14
credentialing system is so bad.
44:19
Yeah.
44:19
I proposed to CrossFit that
44:22
they give you a year approval.
44:25
You are good for the season.
44:27
So that way you can actually
44:29
make plans at what events
44:30
you want to attend.
44:31
I like that proposition.
44:34
they came back to me and said,
44:36
we look at it more as like an event,
44:37
like an all-star game or a
44:38
Super Bowl or something
44:40
like that than it is a season.
44:41
I said, well,
44:43
you can give like an approval
44:44
and just say, but we, at our discretion,
44:47
we can change the size of
44:49
your team or the structure of your team.
44:53
Like you can have two people,
44:55
photography people in the pit.
44:57
You can have whatever, five total.
45:00
You can only have three total.
45:01
You can have eight total, whatever it is.
45:04
And I haven't,
45:05
I didn't get a response to that.
45:08
So why not just say you are good for the,
45:11
the calendar year, 2024.
45:13
And like you were saying for this event,
45:16
you can bring this many
45:16
people for this event.
45:17
You can bring this many people.
45:19
If it's a CrossFit sponsored
45:20
event that they have say,
45:22
so whether it be semifinals, the games,
45:24
whatever.
45:26
And just like you said,
45:27
this is for this event.
45:29
You have this much access.
45:31
And they told me 28 days
45:32
notice they felt was enough.
45:34
I said, well,
45:34
what about semifinals when I
45:36
had two weeks notice?
45:38
28 days is enough.
45:39
We're not going to actually give you that,
45:40
but we definitely think that's enough.
45:46
Yikes.
45:47
And that's why we bring
45:48
Corey on because he'll say
45:49
the things that we're not willing to.
45:51
Yeah.
45:52
It was just a guest.
45:52
It wasn't us.
45:55
I mean,
45:55
we agree that 28 days is plenty
45:57
enough time.
45:59
We're not going to actually give you that,
46:00
but we 100% think it's enough time.
46:04
We'll give you, how about half?
46:05
How about half?
46:05
Best I can do is 14 days.
46:06
Yeah.
46:08
Yeah.
46:10
I know you have to fly from
46:11
Ohio to California.
46:12
Right.
46:15
And we want to fly.
46:16
We want to come to your head
46:17
with the price that they're
46:18
going to charge you.
46:22
That's insane to me.
46:25
Yeah.
46:25
The only reason I'm going to
46:26
the games this year is
46:26
because the flight was so
46:27
dang dirt cheap.
46:28
Well, yeah, you said it wasn't,
46:30
it was hardly nothing.
46:31
If I wanted to fly Spirit,
46:33
I could get a flight round
46:34
trip for 90 bucks.
46:37
I chose to go American and I got a 180.
46:40
According to TikTok,
46:42
American's not good either right now.
46:47
I get all my important information there.
46:49
From TikTok?
46:52
Amy uses TikTok as her news outlet.
46:55
Every time my wife comes to me with like,
46:57
hey, did you hear?
46:58
I say, okay, what's your source?
47:01
Is it Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook?
47:04
If it is,
47:05
I'll take it with that grain of salt.
47:08
Yeah.
47:11
Yeah.
47:13
All right, guys.
47:15
Well, Corey,
47:15
thank you so much for jumping in, man.
47:19
What a stellar plan to bring
47:21
interest to the workout, Chad.
47:24
You want viewers.
47:26
I can get you viewers.
47:27
I'm just saying.
47:28
I do like the fact that it
47:30
is a hero workout and it
47:31
does mean something.
47:33
And what it stands for in
47:35
suicide prevention and PTSD
47:37
is a good thing and could be focused.
47:40
And if they use it to
47:42
demonstrate standards that
47:45
we have that other people
47:46
don't and have good
47:49
consistent judging on all of the lanes,
47:54
then I am cool with it.
47:56
That's a lot of judges at one time.
47:59
If we do 80.
48:01
Yeah.
48:04
It'll take three minutes
48:04
just to get the judges out there.
48:07
Why zombie wants Corey to
48:08
take his shirt off?
48:10
You got to go to a Masters
48:11
competition to see that.
48:12
Around with no shirt on 90% of the time.
48:17
The one thing I will say
48:18
about as far as it being
48:19
boring or unwatchable or whatever,
48:21
the first game to ever
48:23
watch live was 2018.
48:24
The Marathon Road.
48:27
Yep, yeah.
48:28
Everybody was saying the same thing.
48:30
Me and my wife watched the
48:31
entire thing start to finish.
48:34
Yeah, I mean, a 5K is boring to watch.
48:39
There's a reason people put
48:40
up signs at races that say
48:41
worst parade ever.
48:43
It's not fun.
48:44
You just stand there and
48:44
somebody runs by you.
48:45
Yeah.
48:47
And somebody else runs by you again.
48:49
All right, well, that was exciting.
48:51
Yep.
48:52
People watch the Boston Marathon.
48:54
They do.
48:55
On television.
48:57
Yeah.
48:58
The five K at the games last year,
49:00
that was cool.
49:01
Yeah.
49:03
Through the campground.
49:04
Yeah.
49:05
It was a cool idea.
49:06
Dave said two heats.
49:09
So 40.
49:10
So the girls and the guys.
49:13
Sure.
49:15
Do it.
49:15
Do you separate the bulls and the, the.
49:19
Two women get the cows.
49:23
Bull bulls run with the guys
49:24
and cows run with the girls.
49:27
Hey,
49:28
they just came out on media that it'll
49:31
be live on ESPN platforms
49:33
for the second straight year.
49:37
Oh, even on Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
49:40
and Sunday.
49:42
Okay.
49:43
Awesome.
49:43
Yeah.
49:43
All right, guys.
49:46
I got to run.
49:47
Same.
49:48
We'll catch everybody next
49:50
time on the Clydesdale Media Roundtable.
49:52
Bye, guys.
49:54
Bye.
