• 0:36
  wednesday afternoon with
• 0:37
  the collides dale yeah
• 0:39
  first day back to work in a
• 0:41
  week um first day back
• 0:45
  after uh my procedure and
• 0:48
  my wife's procedure um yeah
• 0:52
  Man, am I tired.
• 0:54
  I will admit it freely.
• 0:56
  This weekend has taken a ton out of me.
• 1:01
  So I had,
• 1:02
  I talked to you guys Friday afternoon.
• 1:05
  I took,
• 1:07
  I had my heart shocked back into rhythm.
• 1:10
  By Sunday, I felt so good.
• 1:13
  Um,
• 1:14
  just can tell like the blood flow is
• 1:16
  back to full strength.
• 1:18
  Um, all my joints felt better.
• 1:21
  Um, everything's been going, uh,
• 1:24
  everything's been going well.
• 1:26
  So, Oh, Hey Corey, what's up Lex, Jody,
• 1:30
  Judy,
• 1:31
  Holly got the regular crew in with
• 1:33
  us today.
• 1:34
  So awesome seeing you guys today.
• 1:36
  Um, so yeah,
• 1:37
  so Monday morning after I felt
• 1:40
  good Sunday got up, uh,
• 1:43
  Five o'clock in the morning.
• 1:46
  And got my wife ready.
• 1:48
  We went to the hospital.
• 1:52
  Got her checked in.
• 1:54
  And then it was kind of wait.
• 1:56
  I got to go back before they
• 1:58
  prepped her for surgery.
• 2:01
  She went in.
• 2:03
  It was about a two-hour long procedure.
• 2:07
  And then in recovery,
• 2:08
  it was going to take a
• 2:09
  couple hours for her before
• 2:12
  I could see her in her room.
• 2:14
  So on the way to the procedure,
• 2:17
  we got snow overnight here,
• 2:20
  about four inches of snow.
• 2:22
  um we were the first people
• 2:24
  on our neighborhood road to
• 2:26
  even try to get out uh
• 2:29
  about a third of the way to
• 2:30
  the hospital my driver's
• 2:32
  side windshield wiper uh flew off
• 2:37
  And so at that point I was
• 2:39
  having to try to make a decision.
• 2:41
  Do I keep going?
• 2:43
  Uh,
• 2:43
  so I just prayed nobody would splash
• 2:46
  anything on my window.
• 2:48
  Um,
• 2:49
  because it's not a long drive toward
• 2:51
  that hospital.
• 2:52
  It's probably only on good roads, for us.
• 2:55
  Um, but we got there.
• 2:59
  Got her checked in, got everything.
• 3:01
  So when she was in recovery, I ran,
• 3:03
  there's the place we go get
• 3:05
  her oil changes right
• 3:06
  beside the hospital.
• 3:08
  So we are due for one of those.
• 3:11
  Got an oil change.
• 3:12
  Got new windshield wipers put on.
• 3:15
  They inflated my tires
• 3:17
  because it was super cold
• 3:18
  and my tires were really low.
• 3:23
  Got all that done.
• 3:24
  Came home, let Walter out.
• 3:26
  went back to the hospital,
• 3:29
  sat down for about five minutes,
• 3:30
  and then she was in a room
• 3:31
  and we went up and I got to
• 3:34
  see her and then spend the
• 3:35
  rest of the day with her in her room.
• 3:38
  And everything went well,
• 3:40
  exactly as planned.
• 3:43
  Now it's just the recovery process.
• 3:46
  Got her home yesterday about one o'clock.
• 3:49
  She has to be on this
• 3:51
  machine three times a day
• 3:53
  where it bends her knee
• 3:55
  from zero degrees and she's
• 3:57
  up to fifty five degrees right now.
• 4:00
  Hopefully we'll be at sixty
• 4:01
  by the end of the day.
• 4:03
  She tries to get the goal is
• 4:06
  to get five degrees more
• 4:08
  each day with the bend.
• 4:11
  But she's from zero to fifty
• 4:13
  five right now and
• 4:15
  hopefully get to sixty by tonight.
• 4:18
  But actually,
• 4:18
  she said that is one of the
• 4:20
  parts of the day that feels the best.
• 4:22
  I'm getting the leg moving
• 4:24
  and allowing that machine to contract,
• 4:26
  straighten her leg, bend it back up.
• 4:31
  She said that actually feels the best.
• 4:33
  We're weaning down off the pain meds,
• 4:36
  but she has a bed in the
• 4:38
  living room right now.
• 4:41
  So she doesn't have to climb
• 4:43
  any stairs for anything.
• 4:45
  We have been up to the
• 4:46
  bathroom a ton since she's been home.
• 4:50
  So, really,
• 4:50
  my job is lifting her up out of
• 4:52
  the bed onto her walker.
• 4:55
  Once she gets to the walker,
• 4:56
  she's rolling pretty good.
• 4:58
  In the bathroom,
• 4:59
  I do have to help her up
• 5:00
  off of the commode and...
• 5:05
  And then once she's on the walker,
• 5:07
  she's good there.
• 5:09
  And then lifting the machine
• 5:12
  up onto the bed,
• 5:13
  getting her leg into the
• 5:14
  machine all those times,
• 5:16
  then lifting the machine off the bed.
• 5:19
  So...
• 5:21
  first couple attempts my
• 5:22
  back was feeling it for
• 5:23
  sure I'm getting more set
• 5:25
  up into my deadlift
• 5:26
  position with the machine
• 5:29
  when it comes to her she's
• 5:31
  getting stronger every day
• 5:32
  I really think like the leg
• 5:34
  is actually stronger than
• 5:35
  it was before the surgery
• 5:38
  and it's just her
• 5:39
  confidence in it right now
• 5:41
  getting her to be confident
• 5:43
  and standing up on that and
• 5:46
  uh feeling like it's gonna hold her
• 5:50
  Even the PT people are like, yeah,
• 5:52
  it's not going to give out
• 5:53
  on you like your old knee was.
• 5:55
  This is going to do well.
• 5:59
  Once she gets on the walker,
• 6:00
  she's moving through the
• 6:01
  house pretty good,
• 6:04
  but getting a lot of sleep.
• 6:06
  She did not sleep in the
• 6:07
  hospital hardly at all.
• 6:09
  So since we've been home,
• 6:11
  that has been the key thing.
• 6:12
  But everything's going great.
• 6:14
  We're doing great.
• 6:16
  And we're on the road to recovery.
• 6:18
  And hopefully in three months,
• 6:20
  we'll get the other one done.
• 6:21
  And then this knee will be
• 6:24
  in such good shape that the
• 6:26
  recovery process will
• 6:27
  actually be easier the
• 6:28
  second time around.
• 6:29
  So...
• 6:32
  I want to thank everybody
• 6:32
  for their thoughts and prayers.
• 6:34
  I got a lot of those.
• 6:36
  And so I really appreciated those.
• 6:39
  And they really did help as
• 6:41
  we have been moving through this process.
• 6:45
  And Corey,
• 6:45
  you are dead on movement as it
• 6:48
  turns out is medicine.
• 6:49
  Yeah.
• 6:50
  And the doctor said like,
• 6:52
  He doesn't even care how
• 6:53
  much she's up and moving
• 6:54
  around the house.
• 6:55
  It's how much she bends that
• 6:57
  knee and really working that machine.
• 6:59
  And she's supposed to do three,
• 7:00
  one hour sessions a day.
• 7:02
  She's actually, when she's on it,
• 7:04
  she probably does ninety
• 7:05
  minutes just because it feels good.
• 7:08
  So we're even overachieving
• 7:09
  on that at this point already.
• 7:11
  Now we just got to get the
• 7:12
  angles to where they need to be.
• 7:17
  So, um, again,
• 7:19
  thank you everybody for your
• 7:20
  thoughts and prayers.
• 7:21
  It has been a really good process.
• 7:24
  She's doing great.
• 7:26
  And, uh, yeah,
• 7:27
  I don't see her being down very long.
• 7:30
  Uh,
• 7:30
  she's up moving around pretty good
• 7:31
  already.
• 7:32
  Uh, so pretty excited about that.
• 7:34
  And I got to actually take
• 7:35
  her to the rehab facility tomorrow.
• 7:38
  So we got to get her up out of the house,
• 7:40
  into the car.
• 7:41
  Uh, so we'll have prayers for that.
• 7:44
  Hopefully that goes well tomorrow.
• 7:46
  Um,
• 7:49
  Cause they helped me at the hospital,
• 7:51
  get her into the car.
• 7:52
  Getting out was much, much easier.
• 7:55
  So,
• 7:56
  but hopefully we've made enough
• 7:57
  progress where tomorrow it
• 7:58
  won't be so bad.
• 8:01
  So, yeah.
• 8:02
  So while I was in the
• 8:04
  hospital with her and recovering,
• 8:06
  the news came out that the
• 8:09
  Masters and Teens CrossFit
• 8:11
  Games are coming to Columbus, Ohio.
• 8:16
  And I could not be more pumped about that.
• 8:21
  Um, I, one, I love, I love my, my town.
• 8:26
  I love my city.
• 8:27
  And I think it is a great
• 8:29
  place to hold events.
• 8:31
  And, uh, there's so much to do here.
• 8:33
  Um, I, it's going to be awesome for, uh,
• 8:39
  everybody to come here and to, uh,
• 8:42
  celebrate these masters and teen athletes,
• 8:44
  uh,
• 8:46
  My guess at the moment is
• 8:48
  it's probably going to be
• 8:49
  at the Columbus Convention Center.
• 8:51
  If it's anything like
• 8:52
  Birmingham was last year,
• 8:54
  that seems to be the place
• 8:57
  that would fit that layout the best.
• 9:02
  But there's also a really
• 9:03
  cool... So we built a new
• 9:06
  soccer stadium maybe two or
• 9:08
  three years ago, and the old one still...
• 9:11
  sits vacant well not vacant
• 9:14
  they still use it for
• 9:15
  concerts things like that
• 9:17
  it'd be an awesome place
• 9:18
  for some outdoor events um
• 9:22
  I would love if they could
• 9:23
  use both of those um but my
• 9:25
  guess is it's going to be
• 9:26
  at the convention center
• 9:27
  and andrew does uh echo
• 9:29
  that and he is that he is
• 9:31
  connected with that group
• 9:33
  so uh yeah columbus
• 9:35
  convention center that is
• 9:36
  where the main part of the arnold is held
• 9:40
  And it is massive.
• 9:41
  They won't even need the
• 9:42
  whole thing for this.
• 9:46
  So...
• 9:51
  so it it's going to be
• 9:52
  awesome I if it's at the
• 9:55
  convention center you're in
• 9:56
  the short north of columbus
• 9:58
  there's so many restaurants
• 9:59
  so many good restaurants um
• 10:02
  so many like little quaint
• 10:04
  shops um and then you're
• 10:07
  not even that far from ohio
• 10:08
  state campus so uh so
• 10:13
  I think that's going to be
• 10:14
  incredible and I think
• 10:15
  everybody's going to enjoy
• 10:15
  it here and probably the
• 10:17
  best piece of all is we do
• 10:18
  have an international
• 10:19
  airport so flight should
• 10:21
  not be too out of control
• 10:23
  to get into columbus um and
• 10:26
  I think that's most
• 10:27
  important for uh people traveling in
• 10:30
  Uh,
• 10:31
  the other thing is we have a ton of
• 10:33
  hotels down there around that area.
• 10:35
  We have a major, uh,
• 10:37
  convention center Hyatt.
• 10:38
  We have a Hilton across the street, uh,
• 10:41
  plus probably two,
• 10:43
  more hotels right around the building.
• 10:45
  So, uh, plenty of places to stay, uh, easy,
• 10:48
  get in, get out.
• 10:50
  And, uh, yeah.
• 10:53
  so shay we are talking about
• 10:55
  the masters crossfit games
• 10:56
  coming to columbus ohio
• 10:57
  along with the team
• 10:58
  crossfit games and how
• 11:00
  excited I am for that
• 11:01
  because that is where I
• 11:02
  live uh and so it's going
• 11:03
  to make it so much easier
• 11:04
  to do content and stuff for
• 11:06
  me here and I love this
• 11:07
  city and I think it's a
• 11:08
  great place to host these
• 11:10
  events um uh kenneth to
• 11:15
  lapses like and subscribe
• 11:16
  people support the show for
• 11:17
  free yeah it doesn't cost
• 11:19
  anything to hit that like
• 11:19
  and subscribe um
• 11:23
  Holly asks,
• 11:23
  how many couches do I have and
• 11:25
  when do reservations open?
• 11:27
  Uh, we'll probably do a lottery.
• 11:29
  Um, but anyway, or we could, uh,
• 11:33
  we could put some cots down
• 11:34
  here in the podcast center
• 11:36
  if you don't mind being a
• 11:36
  little bit cold.
• 11:38
  Uh, but it's going to be August,
• 11:39
  so it won't be that cold down here,
• 11:41
  but it'll be cool.
• 11:43
  Um,
• 11:47
  holly I've only been to the
• 11:48
  library there once but the
• 11:50
  conference was nice yeah
• 11:51
  the main library is
• 11:52
  beautiful too they've just
• 11:53
  renovated the whole thing
• 11:55
  it's a it's a classic
• 11:57
  building with colonnades
• 11:58
  out front um and uh yeah
• 12:02
  super super cool and the
• 12:04
  convention center is
• 12:04
  probably a ten minute walk
• 12:08
  away from that library so uh yeah
• 12:16
  uh scott can sleep in his
• 12:17
  own bed while covering the
• 12:18
  cup damn straight um all
• 12:21
  these places I've traveled
• 12:22
  to uh the hotel podcasts um
• 12:26
  have been just
• 12:29
  know we we've made it work
• 12:30
  but that I don't even have
• 12:31
  to move my equipment to do
• 12:33
  a live podcast from
• 12:34
  columbus during the
• 12:36
  competition is going to be
• 12:37
  awesome um so yeah we could
• 12:41
  we could even I by then
• 12:43
  I'll have to have it set up
• 12:44
  where we have a couple
• 12:45
  microphones uh and just uh
• 12:47
  chilling out uh down here
• 12:48
  in the basement to do those
• 12:51
  so that would be awesome
• 12:55
  Uh, it is Shay.
• 12:57
  It is totally the dream.
• 12:58
  The fact that I do not have
• 13:00
  to take equipment and I can, and I can,
• 13:05
  it's going to open up so
• 13:06
  many possibilities for
• 13:06
  content because I love the
• 13:08
  master's division.
• 13:09
  Doing the master's
• 13:10
  documentary last year was so much fun,
• 13:13
  but I had to travel in.
• 13:14
  I had to travel out.
• 13:15
  I had to lug equipment everywhere here.
• 13:18
  It's going to be,
• 13:19
  I'm still going to have to
• 13:19
  take equipment to the venue
• 13:22
  and to shoot things around,
• 13:23
  but I'll be here like the whole week.
• 13:26
  And after that,
• 13:27
  where I can actually
• 13:28
  include more pre stuff, more post stuff,
• 13:32
  And not have to be hurried
• 13:34
  back to a hotel or things like that.
• 13:36
  I can pack things to eat.
• 13:38
  I can do things like that to
• 13:40
  keep me sustained throughout the day.
• 13:42
  It's just going to make
• 13:44
  producing content that week
• 13:46
  and that weekend so much easier.
• 13:51
  and allow me to do so much more.
• 13:52
  And the fact that I'm saving
• 13:53
  money on hotel and flight
• 13:55
  and all of that stuff,
• 13:56
  I can invest maybe a little
• 13:58
  bit into some equipment
• 13:59
  upgrades and additions so
• 14:02
  that we can get more footage, more angles,
• 14:06
  more stuff.
• 14:06
  It's going to be, it's going to be epic.
• 14:08
  I cannot wait for that to happen.
• 14:17
  Jody Lynn says, have you been to B&H?
• 14:19
  podcast or stream store I
• 14:20
  have not been to bnh I am a
• 14:23
  zz sounds guy um that's
• 14:26
  where almost all my
• 14:27
  equipment comes from um
• 14:32
  that's just what I found
• 14:34
  easily at the beginning and
• 14:35
  a lot of their shipping is
• 14:36
  like a day um so that's
• 14:38
  what I've been using ever since I started
• 14:42
  But, uh,
• 14:43
  the one person who shot for me
• 14:45
  last year at the games, uh,
• 14:46
  some of the floor footage, Caitlin Walter,
• 14:48
  she lives here in Columbus too.
• 14:50
  So it's going to be easy for her.
• 14:52
  Um, yeah, we're gonna,
• 14:55
  we're gonna kill it this year.
• 14:56
  And I know,
• 14:56
  and I know more people that do
• 14:58
  things here, uh, than,
• 15:01
  than when I have to travel
• 15:03
  so I can use more people.
• 15:06
  And I have, uh,
• 15:09
  have some my daughter is a
• 15:10
  photographer and I I'm
• 15:12
  hoping I can use her to
• 15:13
  just I have some ideas with
• 15:16
  some still photography to
• 15:18
  kind of insert into the the
• 15:20
  content and I want to see
• 15:22
  if I can get her to do that
• 15:24
  uh for me with that so um
• 15:27
  so yeah I have a lot a lot
• 15:28
  of ideas but super super
• 15:31
  stoked about this um
• 15:34
  Again,
• 15:35
  I think we've said it on the
• 15:35
  roundtable a million times
• 15:37
  because Charlie, Amy, and I all live here,
• 15:39
  along with Judy.
• 15:42
  And...
• 15:44
  Columbus is a great spot to
• 15:46
  host the CrossFit Games.
• 15:48
  It's a great spot to host a
• 15:50
  WFP tour event.
• 15:52
  There are so many venues
• 15:53
  here and so many different
• 15:55
  sizes of venues that I hope
• 15:59
  when the masters and teens are here,
• 16:01
  we can highlight what all
• 16:03
  is around and maybe show it
• 16:05
  as a viable option in the future.
• 16:08
  Um, but again,
• 16:10
  probably the biggest thing
• 16:11
  is we have a ton of hotels
• 16:13
  of all levels and we have
• 16:16
  an international, uh,
• 16:17
  airport where getting
• 16:19
  tickets in and out is going to be easy,
• 16:22
  uh, easier and cheaper than like Madison,
• 16:25
  Wisconsin, that has a very small airport.
• 16:28
  Um,
• 16:29
  it's just going to be a lot easier to
• 16:31
  do that.
• 16:33
  Uh, Shay asked,
• 16:34
  do we know where the games are this year?
• 16:37
  We do not know where the
• 16:39
  games are this year.
• 16:42
  Carolyn has some predictions.
• 16:43
  I'll save those for Sunday night.
• 16:47
  Just doing some things that
• 16:48
  she's working with and just
• 16:50
  watching social media.
• 16:52
  She has some ideas.
• 16:54
  So we'll probably talk about
• 16:55
  that a little bit on Sunday
• 16:56
  night show for sure.
• 16:59
  And I will say that Carolyn
• 17:02
  is not leaning towards Albany.
• 17:04
  I'll just say that much.
• 17:08
  So we'll see what happens.
• 17:12
  But that Albany rumor has
• 17:13
  been out there for quite a while.
• 17:16
  But Birmingham was a thing
• 17:17
  for a while too and never happened.
• 17:20
  So we'll see.
• 17:21
  We'll see what goes on with that.
• 17:27
  Dense update says Valley Forge.
• 17:30
  Oh, my gosh.
• 17:31
  If that's in Valley Forge,
• 17:32
  there's nothing around Valley Forge.
• 17:49
  Swerve everyone and just
• 17:51
  have them at the ranch.
• 17:53
  I don't think that would happen either.
• 17:56
  When the twenty twenty games happened,
• 17:58
  there were issues just
• 17:59
  about places to stay for
• 18:02
  the smaller group of athletes and coaches,
• 18:05
  and they had to be bused in.
• 18:09
  So I don't think the ranch
• 18:10
  could could even.
• 18:13
  Even attempt to have sixty
• 18:15
  athletes plus teams.
• 18:21
  So a lot of people are guessing.
• 18:22
  We'll talk about it Sunday night for sure,
• 18:25
  because Carolyn's been
• 18:28
  saying some things in our
• 18:28
  little text string,
• 18:30
  but I'll let her go on about that.
• 18:34
  We got the college football playoffs.
• 18:35
  I saw Judy saying go Bucs in the chat.
• 18:40
  Yeah.
• 18:41
  Got Penn State and Notre
• 18:43
  Dame tomorrow night at seven thirty.
• 18:45
  And then Ohio State and
• 18:46
  Texas on Friday night, the final four.
• 18:50
  My Penn State Nittany Lions
• 18:52
  making it this far has been
• 18:54
  an awesome season.
• 18:55
  I am a person who roots for
• 18:56
  a lot of teams that do not win.
• 18:58
  And the fact that my college
• 19:00
  football team is in the
• 19:01
  final four makes me very
• 19:05
  happy that I have a team to
• 19:07
  root for this year in the
• 19:08
  college football playoff.
• 19:10
  because definitely my
• 19:12
  Chicago Bears have not been
• 19:13
  in the playoffs for a while.
• 19:14
  My Pittsburgh Pirates never make it there.
• 19:18
  And then even my Pittsburgh Penguins,
• 19:20
  who were the reliable team for me,
• 19:23
  have been off for a few years.
• 19:25
  So super pumped that Penn
• 19:27
  State is in the national
• 19:31
  championship hunt and can't wait.
• 19:37
  Yeah, Oregon still in, says Kenneth,
• 19:39
  and they got walloped.
• 19:40
  They got walloped by Ohio State.
• 19:43
  By the time they realized
• 19:45
  the game had started,
• 19:46
  Ohio State was already up
• 19:47
  by twenty eight points.
• 19:48
  So the Oregon is no longer
• 19:51
  in the in the running for sure.
• 19:55
  They're the charred duck in
• 19:56
  that commercial all state commercial.
• 19:59
  I think it is charred duck
• 20:01
  appetizer right now.
• 20:07
  The other thing I wanted to
• 20:08
  talk about is Corey says, yeah,
• 20:14
  Ohio State beat the brakes
• 20:15
  off them Ducks.
• 20:16
  And Judy,
• 20:17
  it was a little shocking even if
• 20:19
  I was happy.
• 20:20
  It was so shocking.
• 20:22
  I did not see that one coming at all.
• 20:25
  I knew Ohio State was good
• 20:26
  if they put it all together,
• 20:28
  and I knew they could beat Oregon.
• 20:29
  I never saw the shellacking
• 20:32
  that happened at all.
• 20:34
  Didn't see that coming at all.
• 20:38
  um the only thing that's
• 20:41
  been bummer a bummer about
• 20:43
  this week and the
• 20:44
  procedures and my wife's
• 20:45
  surgery and all of that is
• 20:48
  uh we sunday night we
• 20:49
  started to watch landman
• 20:51
  which I've talked about on
• 20:52
  this show a lot is one of
• 20:53
  my favorite shows um and we
• 20:55
  got interrupted from people
• 20:57
  just calling with well
• 20:58
  wishes so I only got ten
• 20:59
  minutes in and have not
• 21:00
  been able to finish that show and I I'm
• 21:04
  I want to find out what's happening.
• 21:06
  But we did get to see one of
• 21:08
  my when I went back and I I
• 21:10
  rated the top five shows of
• 21:12
  twenty twenty four.
• 21:13
  One of those shows was high
• 21:14
  potential and it came back last night.
• 21:16
  It's the only network show
• 21:18
  that made my top five list
• 21:20
  and it's on ABC and it
• 21:22
  stars Caitlin Olson as a
• 21:24
  consultant for the LAPD.
• 21:28
  who has one of those minds
• 21:29
  that can like uh see when
• 21:31
  things are missing and so
• 21:33
  they bring her in on tough
• 21:34
  cases uh to kind of figure
• 21:36
  out what's been missing and
• 21:37
  it came back last night ah
• 21:39
  but it came back hitting
• 21:40
  home runs um it is
• 21:43
  definitely one of the five
• 21:44
  best shows of the year um
• 21:46
  and she should she deserves
• 21:48
  awards I know the golden globes didn't go
• 21:52
  all the way I thought they
• 21:53
  would with Billy Bob
• 21:54
  Thornton not getting
• 21:55
  anything or the cast of
• 21:57
  shrinking didn't get
• 21:58
  anything but Caitlin Olsen
• 22:00
  has been killing it if you
• 22:01
  don't know who she is she's
• 22:02
  been in a ton of show she's
• 22:04
  in it's always sunny in
• 22:05
  Philadelphia she's been in
• 22:12
  it was a comedy on Fox but
• 22:14
  she's married to
• 22:18
  The guy who wrote It's
• 22:19
  Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Rob.
• 22:21
  And he owns the Wrexham
• 22:23
  soccer team with Ryan Reynolds.
• 22:25
  Rob.
• 22:26
  Oh, gosh, I'm having brain farts.
• 22:29
  Not enough sleep.
• 22:30
  Sleeping on the couch so
• 22:31
  that I can be there by my wife.
• 22:35
  But anyway, it's a great show.
• 22:38
  If you've not seen it, it's very monkish,
• 22:41
  but better personality.
• 22:43
  Rob McElhaney.
• 22:44
  That's it.
• 22:45
  Thank you.
• 22:45
  Understand.
• 22:46
  She's married to Rob McElhinney,
• 22:50
  but it's kind of a monk,
• 22:51
  but she has a better
• 22:52
  personality than monk did.
• 22:54
  And she has kids and she has a normal life,
• 22:58
  but she has this brain that
• 23:00
  works in a way to help the police.
• 23:02
  But she is a little bit
• 23:03
  quirky and it's funny, it's endearing,
• 23:07
  and the mysteries are really good.
• 23:10
  Usually you don't know who
• 23:11
  done it until the end.
• 23:13
  as she's trying to figure it
• 23:14
  out you're trying to figure
• 23:15
  it out and it makes for a
• 23:18
  really good show if you
• 23:19
  have not seen it so yeah so
• 23:25
  that was on last night
• 23:26
  that's the one show that
• 23:27
  I've been able to catch um
• 23:28
  since uh since we've been
• 23:32
  back from my wife's surgery
• 23:35
  other than that she's just
• 23:36
  watching a lot of like her
• 23:37
  stuff and I'm just letting her do that so
• 23:40
  But she likes this show,
• 23:41
  so we could watch it together.
• 23:45
  The other thing I want to
• 23:47
  talk about is the Bears coach search.
• 23:52
  My gosh,
• 23:52
  they're inviting everybody and
• 23:54
  anybody to interview with them.
• 23:56
  I have no confidence that
• 23:57
  they're going to pick a
• 23:58
  coach that can lead this team.
• 24:01
  If you're bringing in over
• 24:03
  fifteen coaches to interview,
• 24:06
  then you have no clue what you're doing,
• 24:08
  and it's just disappointing.
• 24:12
  They had a press conference
• 24:13
  yesterday with the general manager,
• 24:15
  the president, and the CEO,
• 24:18
  and I have no confidence in
• 24:19
  the team at all.
• 24:21
  Oh, my gosh.
• 24:23
  I may be at the all-time low
• 24:25
  as a Bears fan of where we're going.
• 24:31
  We have that.
• 24:32
  Corey, I'll coach the Bears for the low,
• 24:35
  low price of five million per year.
• 24:37
  Yeah.
• 24:39
  That's my guess is they're
• 24:40
  going to look for the Corey
• 24:41
  Leonard's and not for the
• 24:45
  Mike Vrabels or the Ben Johnson's.
• 24:49
  They're going to look for
• 24:49
  the Corey Leonard,
• 24:50
  that diamond in the rough
• 24:51
  that only they could find
• 24:53
  that will be firing in two
• 24:55
  or three years.
• 24:59
  Exactly.
• 25:01
  you can't be any worse than
• 25:02
  what they had before.
• 25:05
  But if there is worse,
• 25:06
  they're going to find it.
• 25:07
  I just know it.
• 25:09
  I just know it.
• 25:11
  So today's going to be a
• 25:13
  little bit shorter show as
• 25:14
  I'm just getting back and
• 25:16
  my first day back at work today.
• 25:20
  But I did want to talk
• 25:21
  briefly and we're going to
• 25:23
  really dive into this on Sunday night.
• 25:26
  It was announced yesterday
• 25:28
  that the NorCal Classic
• 25:30
  is now an in-person semifinal.
• 25:33
  I think this illustrates
• 25:36
  some of the things I have
• 25:37
  been ranting about with the
• 25:39
  CrossFit game season
• 25:41
  compared to the WFP season.
• 25:46
  And I know that my co-hosts
• 25:48
  have very strong feelings
• 25:49
  about this being added to
• 25:50
  the lineup at this time.
• 25:54
  And so we're going to dive
• 25:55
  into this in deep detail on Sunday night.
• 26:01
  But NorCal Classic has moved to, I believe,
• 26:05
  June,
• 26:07
  and it will be a fourth North
• 26:10
  America in-person semifinal.
• 26:16
  So we knew that it was
• 26:18
  affiliated with CrossFit.
• 26:20
  It added that to it.
• 26:21
  There's going to be some
• 26:22
  streaming done for that.
• 26:24
  Uh,
• 26:24
  that's been announced through the
• 26:26
  Savonca podcast.
• 26:27
  I'm guessing that will be the same now.
• 26:31
  Um,
• 26:33
  but the fact that it's an online,
• 26:36
  it's an in-person semifinal
• 26:38
  and it actually, we don't,
• 26:40
  I have not seen how many
• 26:41
  people get to go from there.
• 26:43
  Is it a one person qualifier?
• 26:45
  Is it a two person qualifier?
• 26:48
  We have heard thirty people total.
• 26:51
  What does that do to the total there?
• 26:52
  These are all the things
• 26:54
  we're going to talk about
• 26:55
  on Sunday night.
• 26:56
  And I know both Jamie and
• 26:58
  Carolyn have very strong
• 26:59
  feelings about what
• 27:00
  happened with this and what
• 27:02
  it does to everything else
• 27:03
  and what it does to the season.
• 27:06
  But I'm just giving you the facts.
• 27:07
  It was announced yesterday.
• 27:09
  It's an in-person semifinal.
• 27:11
  So it's another chance to go
• 27:13
  in person and check that out.
• 27:20
  Back on a little bit of football talk.
• 27:26
  The Bears are like the Saints,
• 27:27
  finding new and creative
• 27:28
  ways to snatch defeat from
• 27:29
  the jaws of victory.
• 27:30
  Yes.
• 27:31
  But I think we took that to
• 27:32
  an all-new level this year
• 27:34
  with the blown Hail Mary,
• 27:37
  the timeout fiasco on Thanksgiving Day,
• 27:40
  the blocked field goal against Green Bay.
• 27:46
  the overtime debacle with Minnesota.
• 27:48
  Like we have some really
• 27:50
  creative ways of losing games.
• 27:53
  Aaron Frazier says the
• 27:54
  Jaguars will be competing
• 27:55
  for those coaches as well.
• 27:58
  I am hearing that.
• 27:59
  And what I'm actually
• 28:00
  hearing is that it's coming down to, well,
• 28:04
  are the coaches more
• 28:05
  willing to work with Ryan poles,
• 28:07
  the bears GM or Trent Balky,
• 28:10
  the Jaguars GM.
• 28:13
  And,
• 28:15
  that seems to be the crux of the issue,
• 28:17
  which one is willing
• 28:19
  because they're both kind
• 28:20
  of lame duck GMs, um,
• 28:23
  who didn't get an extension.
• 28:25
  We think, uh,
• 28:26
  but the bears don't release
• 28:28
  that information.
• 28:28
  So there's no way of knowing, um,
• 28:31
  and who's willing to work
• 28:33
  with those lame duck GMs.
• 28:35
  And are, are they willing to, uh,
• 28:37
  put their fate in the hands
• 28:40
  of these personnel guys?
• 28:43
  That's what I hear.
• 28:46
  so uh and corey leonard will
• 28:50
  even do the saints for
• 28:51
  cheaper and aaron does say
• 28:54
  the weather the weather is
• 28:56
  better uh down in florida
• 28:58
  but uh I'm hearing trent
• 29:00
  bauke is not the favorite
• 29:02
  personnel guy for a lot of
• 29:04
  these coaches but again I'm
• 29:06
  getting that from a chicago
• 29:07
  perspective uh so who knows
• 29:16
  So I think that's everything
• 29:18
  on the news front that I
• 29:19
  wanted to talk about today.
• 29:22
  Tomorrow,
• 29:22
  we'll have our roundtable with
• 29:24
  the full crew in.
• 29:26
  Friday,
• 29:27
  I'll be back for a lunch with the
• 29:32
  Clydesdale on Friday,
• 29:33
  and we'll update everybody
• 29:35
  on the health situations of
• 29:36
  both me and my wife.
• 29:39
  And then Sunday Night CrossFit Talk,
• 29:41
  where we'll get into some
• 29:42
  deep detail on the NorCal
• 29:46
  Classic thing coming, more WFP signings,
• 29:51
  the Masters CrossFit Games
• 29:52
  here in Columbus,
• 29:54
  plus anything else that
• 29:55
  hits the scene between now and then.
• 30:01
  But yeah, so we have all that.
• 30:04
  Yeah,
• 30:04
  it is a lose-lose situation for all
• 30:07
  of that.
• 30:10
  I did put out my riff on a
• 30:12
  shortened version of my
• 30:13
  riff about the WFP and not
• 30:17
  giving it a chance.
• 30:20
  And I've gotten a lot of
• 30:21
  comments back on that.
• 30:22
  Mostly positive.
• 30:23
  A few friendly debates, I'll say,
• 30:27
  about it since that went out.
• 30:30
  But as long as you're willing to talk,
• 30:32
  I'm cool with the debate.
• 30:33
  Like, bring it on.
• 30:35
  I'll debate the situation
• 30:36
  with you as long as we keep
• 30:38
  it friendly and not hateful.
• 30:41
  I'm cool with that.
• 30:43
  but really interesting discussions about,
• 30:47
  um,
• 30:47
  how people feel about the WFP and
• 30:49
  maybe it's intrusion on the
• 30:51
  CrossFit games where I
• 30:52
  think it accentuates the
• 30:54
  CrossFit games or
• 30:55
  accentuates the sport in some way.
• 30:59
  Uh,
• 30:59
  there are people that feel it's
• 31:01
  actually detracting from
• 31:02
  that and have their thought
• 31:04
  presses behind that.
• 31:05
  And they're entitled to those.
• 31:07
  Um,
• 31:08
  And so the comments have
• 31:10
  been very interesting down that road.
• 31:13
  And maybe we'll get into a
• 31:14
  little bit of that on the
• 31:15
  Sunday night show as well,
• 31:16
  or maybe even Friday.
• 31:18
  If nothing big hits,
• 31:20
  we'll talk about some of
• 31:21
  the comments that I've
• 31:22
  gotten about the WFP and
• 31:25
  giving it a chance to see
• 31:27
  if it'll succeed or not.
• 31:29
  And then I know training
• 31:30
  think tank has done a
• 31:32
  podcast about the WFP and
• 31:34
  I've heard it's very pro, uh,
• 31:37
  very pro WFP.
• 31:41
  I'm interested to watch that
• 31:44
  this afternoon just to see
• 31:48
  what's going on with that.
• 31:50
  Jody Lynn says,
• 31:52
  I'm surprised Will Morad
• 31:53
  hasn't been interviewed
• 31:54
  anywhere or have I missed it?
• 31:56
  You missed it.
• 31:57
  He was on Coffee Pods and
• 31:58
  Wads with his partner Jax
• 32:01
  and Terry and they were
• 32:02
  both on Talking Late Fitness as well.
• 32:07
  And I did reach out to Will.
• 32:08
  So we've had a conversation.
• 32:10
  It's been a brief one,
• 32:12
  but it's the start of something.
• 32:13
  And hopefully, I mean,
• 32:17
  Will and I go back a lot of years.
• 32:19
  So I'm hoping I can have him
• 32:21
  on as well as I made some
• 32:24
  proposals to him about some other things.
• 32:27
  So we'll see what happens
• 32:28
  with all of that.
• 32:31
  But I have reached out to
• 32:32
  him and have had talks and
• 32:34
  communication with him.
• 32:36
  And hopefully we'll have him
• 32:37
  on very soon as they get
• 32:40
  more details out about what's going on.
• 32:44
  So,
• 32:46
  super excited about that.
• 32:47
  And Will's always been a good guy to me.
• 32:49
  Uh,
• 32:50
  if you watch the behind the scenes at
• 32:52
  the masters,
• 32:52
  we have some very candid
• 32:53
  conversations about some things there.
• 32:56
  Uh,
• 32:56
  I had him on right before semifinals
• 32:58
  this year, uh,
• 33:00
  where if you go back and listen to that,
• 33:02
  it, he, there are indications that he,
• 33:04
  this was coming before that.
• 33:06
  And some of the comments I have,
• 33:08
  I've gotten there that the
• 33:11
  WFP is leveraging the Lazar Jukic, uh,
• 33:16
  tragedy to push themselves forward.
• 33:20
  My interview with Will was
• 33:21
  before that happened.
• 33:23
  And you can tell in that
• 33:25
  interview that something
• 33:26
  was coming from Will at that time.
• 33:30
  So there was at least some
• 33:33
  thought about it coming.
• 33:35
  I don't know how far down
• 33:36
  the road they were or if
• 33:37
  that accelerated after what
• 33:40
  happened with Lazar.
• 33:42
  But I can tell you that I
• 33:44
  can definitely say that
• 33:46
  they were thinking in that
• 33:47
  direction prior to that event happening.
• 33:50
  speaking of lazar one of the
• 33:51
  signings this week has been
• 33:53
  luka jukic for the wfp as
• 33:56
  well as uh one of the one
• 33:58
  of my favorite guests to
• 33:59
  have on his page simenza
• 34:01
  she was signed as well I
• 34:02
  was really excited to hear
• 34:03
  that we still have not seen
• 34:05
  a signing of tia or laura
• 34:07
  but there is still time and
• 34:09
  I think slots available for them
• 34:11
  But it's interesting that
• 34:13
  they are going to be one of
• 34:14
  the last announced if they
• 34:17
  are in fact part of the WFP.
• 34:23
  But I think all the big
• 34:24
  hitters from the men's side
• 34:25
  have already signed,
• 34:27
  but we have not heard from
• 34:29
  Laura Horvat or Tia Toomey
• 34:32
  on a signing with the WFP.
• 34:36
  So that's going to be
• 34:38
  interesting to see whether
• 34:40
  they do or they do not.
• 34:44
  With that,
• 34:45
  my sinuses are filling up a
• 34:47
  little bit down in this
• 34:47
  cold basement because it is
• 34:49
  really cold here today.
• 34:52
  With that, I'm going to leave you for now,
• 34:55
  but we'll be back tomorrow
• 34:56
  with the full roundtable
• 34:58
  and can't wait to talk to you then.
• 35:00
  If there's anything that you
• 35:01
  want to talk about,
• 35:02
  make sure you leave that in
• 35:03
  the comments and we'll dive into that.
• 35:07
  I know I've had some
• 35:08
  comments about bringing
• 35:09
  back maybe some weird top
• 35:10
  five lists around the pop culture world.
• 35:13
  Uh, I think we'll do that.
• 35:15
  Uh,
• 35:15
  but I'd like to do that with a guest as
• 35:17
  we do that.
• 35:18
  So, um,
• 35:20
  can't wait to kind of add that to
• 35:22
  the repertoire of the show.
• 35:24
  Uh,
• 35:25
  Kenneth says new reach or trailer just
• 35:27
  debuted.
• 35:28
  I think it came out like a
• 35:29
  week or two ago.
• 35:30
  Um, because, and the listeners, you,
• 35:32
  the listeners are the ones
• 35:33
  that told me it was out.
• 35:35
  Um,
• 35:37
  And I went and watched it.
• 35:38
  It's really good.
• 35:40
  Or are you saying there's
• 35:41
  even a newer trailer coming out for it?
• 35:45
  But anyway,
• 35:46
  excited for the new Reacher
• 35:47
  season for sure.
• 35:49
  I knew it was with, I think,
• 35:53
  Twentieth Century Fox going under.
• 35:55
  It was debated whether it
• 35:57
  was going to make it through to come back,
• 36:00
  and it has.
• 36:01
  It was bought out,
• 36:02
  and they are going to show it.
• 36:03
  So, yeah.
• 36:08
  can't wait for that and uh
• 36:10
  Cory's always going to be
• 36:11
  on my list for guests trust
• 36:13
  me uh he's one of my dudes
• 36:16
  man love chatting with Cory
• 36:19
  um and Judy nominates that
• 36:23
  so now he's nominated and
• 36:24
  he's one of my dudes so
• 36:26
  you'll probably see Cory on
• 36:27
  here as one of the guests
• 36:27
  for a top five list uh so
• 36:30
  we will definitely do that
• 36:31
  in the future I just got to
• 36:32
  come up with some ideas and concepts
• 36:38
  CK Kevin says the Reacher
• 36:39
  dude went to woke for me
• 36:41
  won't be watching I I don't
• 36:45
  know anything about woke I
• 36:47
  just watch the shows and if
• 36:49
  the story writing is good I
• 36:50
  enjoy the show that's where
• 36:52
  I leave it I don't put too
• 36:53
  much credence into anything
• 36:55
  else that's just me with that
• 37:07
  I'm going to say adieu and
• 37:09
