0:29
what's going on everybody
0:30
welcome to the cloud zone
0:32
media round table there's
0:35
two of us right now that's
0:37
right um before we get into
0:39
anything like what's going
0:41
on in our lives or crossfit
0:42
stuff I have a bone to pick
0:44
with you okay let's hear it
0:46
all right here we go yeah
0:48
how is it that in this
0:51
great state that I live in
0:53
of ohio that we have dumb ass lawmakers
0:57
that propose a bill to make
1:00
it a felony to plant a flag
1:04
in the middle of Ohio Stadium.
1:08
It's dumb.
1:09
It is.
1:09
It's stupid.
1:10
We don't have anything
1:11
better to do on our job
1:15
than to make it a felony to plant a flag.
1:19
And we don't care about
1:20
Toledo or Bowling Green or Akron,
1:23
just Ohio Stadium.
1:24
Well, it does generate a lot of money.
1:32
are you kidding me though
1:33
like it's stupid and did
1:36
you see what he named it no
1:39
the ohio sportsmanship law
1:42
okay well yeah it's stupid
1:45
I agree I don't I don't
1:47
disagree with it I saw that
1:51
and I was like we are
1:53
paying these people yeah
1:56
to, to ensure our state runs.
1:59
And, and I,
2:00
when I worked for the state and
2:01
when I saw that, I was like, Oh my gosh,
2:02
what?
2:04
And listen, I'm a state worker.
2:05
I can waste time with the best of them,
2:07
but that is a waste of time.
2:10
It is.
2:11
It's a, it's a true waste.
2:13
A felony is ridiculous for sure.
2:16
What I want to say is if you
2:18
don't want people to plant
2:19
the flag at Ohio stadium,
2:21
don't lose to your rival
2:22
for years in a row.
2:24
I don't even want to talk
2:25
about this anymore.
2:29
I'm more upset about the loss.
2:30
I mean, I can talk about the flag.
2:31
I don't want to talk about the loss.
2:33
It's too raw.
2:34
The last thing I'm going to
2:37
say about it is I was
2:38
watching Rich Eisen yesterday,
2:40
and he was like,
2:41
what kills him is the band
2:44
can have a bear poop on the Michigan logo,
2:50
yet now you're going to
2:51
make a law to make planting
2:52
the flag a felony.
2:53
Yeah, it's a fair point.
2:58
But let's do a little bit
2:59
more positive news because, you know,
3:02
from our text messages,
3:03
but our listeners may not
3:04
know that there was a bet
3:06
between me and our Charlie Odeon here.
3:12
Yes.
3:12
That being that being that the Mac.
3:16
championship game was being
3:18
played with Ohio University versus Miami.
3:22
And being somebody who pays
3:23
a lot of tuition for Ohio
3:25
University and Charlie
3:26
being a Miami alumni,
3:28
we decided to make a bet over the game.
3:31
And at first we were going
3:33
back and forth bantering.
3:34
Is it going to be money?
3:35
Are we going to bet or
3:36
should we bet like some
3:38
kind of physical challenge?
3:40
And then we landed on a
3:42
hundred burpees for time.
3:43
Hasn't been enough.
3:46
Yeah,
3:46
now I'm kind of wishing we would have
3:48
done money because I would
3:49
have really benefited more from this.
3:52
But I feel like Charlie is
3:53
the one that benefits the
3:54
most actually from this
3:55
because Miami lost big, big, big.
4:02
Oh, you did awesome.
4:03
And Charlie benefits because
4:05
he's getting more fitness
4:07
in this as well.
4:09
True.
4:10
Yeah.
4:11
Yeah.
4:12
But he's going to pay up tomorrow.
4:14
Stay tuned for photos and videos.
4:17
So what I find,
4:18
so you and I both have daughters who,
4:21
mine graduated from OU,
4:22
yours is currently at OU.
4:24
We've paid a lot of money.
4:25
We probably built one of
4:26
those new buildings that are down there.
4:30
And for people who are not
4:31
from the state of Ohio,
4:32
there are two universities.
4:34
One is the Ohio State and
4:36
one is Ohio University.
4:38
Ohio University was first.
4:41
and it is in the appalachian
4:44
area of ohio it's down
4:46
where it's like mountain
4:47
more mountainous um and
4:50
it's very much like a a
4:52
country school um they
4:54
would call it a hippie
4:55
school in the state yeah
4:58
which I'm all about hippie
4:59
school so this is great
5:01
yeah very much like a an
5:02
outdoorsy um hiking um all
5:06
that kind of stuff is what
5:07
they're kind of known for um
5:11
Fun fact,
5:12
Jody Lynn played field hockey at
5:14
Kent State and is a Big Mac Golden Flash.
5:18
There you go.
5:20
There we go.
5:21
Home of Julian Edelman and James Harrison.
5:24
So, yeah, we were way vested.
5:28
We actually watched the game
5:29
with my daughter on FaceTime.
5:32
And we just had a blast.
5:36
oh you will win big um and
5:38
it's in the first mac
5:39
championship they've won
5:41
since before we landed a
5:42
man on the moon as their
5:45
coach said repeatedly in
5:47
the uh post game interviews
5:49
but um I thought that was
5:51
super cool fun to watch
5:55
yeah it was a great it was great so um
6:00
So yeah, one more non-CrossFity thing.
6:03
Did you see the big news
6:05
about Yellowstone?
6:06
No, what?
6:12
Yellowstone has announced
6:14
they are doing a spinoff
6:18
with two of the main
6:19
characters from Yellowstone.
6:25
And you and your husband may
6:26
have gone as them for Halloween.
6:28
Beth and Rip!
6:30
Yep.
6:31
That's cool.
6:32
They just signed the
6:32
contract maybe two days ago.
6:34
Did you watch the episode?
6:36
I have not seen anything.
6:38
I don't have,
6:38
I don't have Paramount Network.
6:40
Well, I can't watch the recent ones.
6:43
I can tell this story without,
6:45
without ruining the episode,
6:46
but there was this one part
6:47
in the last episode.
6:49
She makes, says this line,
6:50
like Rip is telling a story
6:52
about something and he's
6:54
mentioning this girl he was
6:55
dating at the time of the story.
6:57
And she goes,
6:59
I'm going to need to need to
6:59
know her name and her last known address.
7:01
And then he says something
7:02
else and he goes, oh,
7:03
so you're dancing with this hoe now.
7:06
And I made Scott stop and I go, okay,
7:08
that's totally like
7:09
something I would totally do.
7:10
Like whenever he talks about
7:12
ex-girlfriends, which by the way,
7:13
are just people from high school or,
7:15
you know,
7:16
early on and because we got
7:19
together so young, but it's just,
7:20
it was funny.
7:21
I was like, what's her address?
7:23
I need to talk to her.
7:26
yeah I because I can't watch
7:27
yellowstone I've been
7:28
watching all of taylor
7:29
sheridan's other stuff and
7:30
then last week you told me
7:32
that he appears and and so
7:34
we julie and I watched the
7:36
season finale of lioness
7:37
last night and he's in that
7:39
and now now that you've
7:40
said that now I know yeah
7:42
yeah he so in this last
7:44
episode he had his shirt
7:45
off and he is ripped
7:48
mean he's massive like he
7:50
because when he's on the
7:50
horse in the episodes of
7:52
yellowstone like you he
7:53
doesn't look not fit but
7:54
you just can't really tell
7:55
and then he's saying
7:56
they're playing poker and
7:57
you're like whoa where did
7:59
where did those muscles
8:00
come from so he plays uh
8:04
for lack of a better a
8:05
veteran soldier right and
8:07
and lioness is all about
8:08
kind of this special
8:09
operations unit of the cia and uh
8:15
someone asked why do,
8:16
why are they bringing these
8:16
old soldiers in to help us out?
8:18
And he looks at him and says,
8:20
there's a reason we're old soldiers.
8:23
Right.
8:23
Meaning that they have survived.
8:25
Yeah.
8:25
Right.
8:26
All this stuff.
8:27
And, and he's, he's actually pretty,
8:29
a pretty cool character in lioness.
8:31
And he's in probably the
8:32
last half of the second season,
8:36
but it was, it was really good.
8:38
I was at literally on the
8:39
edge of my seat last night
8:40
for the season finale.
8:41
Oh, that's cool.
8:44
And then we're watching Landman, too,
8:47
which I hope gets a second season.
8:49
I love that show.
8:51
Yeah, I want to try it after,
8:54
but there's only one more
8:54
episode of Yellowstone,
8:56
and then I want to start.
8:57
I'll start that.
8:59
Yeah, we have one more of Shrinking,
9:01
which is completely
9:02
different than the stuff
9:02
we're talking about.
9:03
I've got to watch that too.
9:05
They released the last two
9:06
episodes at the same time last night,
9:07
and I was not prepared.
9:08
I was not prepared to end it.
9:11
So we just watched the next to last one,
9:13
and then we'll watch the last one.
9:14
That's good.
9:17
But I think, honestly,
9:18
I think that might be the
9:19
best show on TV right now.
9:21
Yeah.
9:22
And I was so delighted to
9:23
see Jason Segel get a
9:26
Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor.
9:28
And Harrison Ford got one
9:29
for Best Supporting Actor.
9:30
Yeah.
9:31
So if you are not watching
9:34
Shrinking on Apple+, it is funny.
9:37
It is endearing.
9:39
It is dramatic.
9:41
It has all the different elements.
9:42
Yeah.
9:43
I love seeing a humorous
9:45
side from Harrison Ford in this one, too.
9:47
It's just an older humor.
9:49
So I've been enjoying that.
9:52
Well, he's the grumpy old man,
9:53
which I love because that's
9:54
what I'm becoming.
9:55
You definitely are.
9:56
And I'm noticing it a lot
9:57
with some of our other
9:58
friends becoming grumpy in
9:59
their old age too.
10:00
Yeah.
10:01
Yeah.
10:04
So enough about that for now.
10:05
And then you have to leave pretty soon.
10:07
So I'll get into some other
10:08
crazy news stories after that.
10:11
But a big CrossFit thing is,
10:13
I don't know if you saw this,
10:14
but Jason Hopper announced
10:16
on his Instagram that he is leaving HWPL.
10:20
And he did it in a very unique way.
10:22
So I'm going to share my
10:26
screen of his Instagram
10:28
post that he put out recently.
10:34
And here we go.
10:36
So, uh, this is the end of it.
10:39
It was just running, but, um,
10:41
Dallin actually hands him a
10:44
brute t-shirt and then
10:46
here's Dallin with the shirt.
10:48
He goes and he puts it on
10:49
the shoulder of the guy in
10:51
the hoodie that you cannot see.
10:54
And then he holds it up and
10:56
you see it's brute.
10:58
And he stands up and it's Jason Hopper.
10:59
Interesting.
11:04
So he actually did a short
11:07
YouTube video explaining
11:09
why he's doing this.
11:10
Okay, why?
11:11
He has no hard feelings
11:12
towards HWPO or any of the people there.
11:15
He has great memories and
11:17
appreciates them so much,
11:19
but he just needs a change of pace,
11:20
something to...
11:24
give him some energy and, uh,
11:26
to make it interesting
11:27
again for him that he's
11:29
been with O'Keefe and Matt
11:30
for four years and he just
11:32
needed something new.
11:33
And so he is signing with
11:35
coach L. It just seems, uh,
11:39
weird that we have to make
11:40
all these dramatic announcements,
11:42
but I guess that's what you
11:42
do in the sport field.
11:44
It's just, it feels weird.
11:45
I don't know.
11:46
If you want it to be a pro sport,
11:47
that's kind of the way you do it now.
11:49
Right.
11:49
You're right.
11:50
I mean, you're right.
11:50
Let's just promote it.
11:52
Yeah.
11:52
Um,
11:55
uh elise says just go with
11:57
jr that's who helps him the
11:58
most but he'll he'll always
12:01
have jr and I don't think
12:02
jr wants to be a full-time
12:03
elite coach so and I think
12:07
he'll always be there um
12:11
always be there for him to
12:13
help out any way he can
12:15
Because if you don't know,
12:16
Jason works out at J.R.
12:18
Howell's gym.
12:19
He's the one that hosts Crash Crucible,
12:22
a bunch of other stuff,
12:22
and he has been helping
12:23
Jason while he's been at HWPO,
12:26
and I think he'll always be
12:27
there for that.
12:28
So, okay,
12:30
didn't Harry Paley from Comptrain
12:33
go to HWPO?
12:35
Yes.
12:37
Did Kiefer also go to HWPO?
12:40
No.
12:42
Where did Kiefer go?
12:43
Proven.
12:43
Thank you.
12:45
That's what I couldn't remember.
12:46
He was on the Barbell Spin
12:48
last night talking about he
12:49
actually moved to Nashville
12:51
within the last week or so.
12:52
Talked about that and how
12:54
they're moving forward there.
12:57
But in a related story I saw
12:59
today is Jake Marconi is
13:01
taking a step back from
13:03
coaching elite athletes.
13:04
And that is who actually coached
13:08
um jason was jake marconi
13:10
okay um jake marconi one of
13:13
the coolest guys I've ever
13:14
met in the space super nice
13:16
guy but he's moving back to
13:18
his hometown and he's
13:19
living on the family farm
13:20
and he's going to be
13:21
helping his parents kind of
13:23
build that farm back up um
13:26
and but he is taking over
13:28
hwpo strong and taking a
13:30
step back from coaching
13:31
elite athletes so he made
13:34
that announcement on his instagram
13:37
either today or yesterday um
13:40
but it doesn't seem like
13:41
there's any animosity uh
13:43
from anybody in in the move
13:45
um it's like just what's
13:47
best for everybody yeah at
13:49
least us say that she
13:50
doesn't like the move to
13:51
brute uh for uh for jason
13:58
um and I think it's because
14:00
she wants him just to go
14:01
with with jr but um but i
14:05
I'm okay with a little
14:06
change every now and then.
14:08
Change the programming, refresh it,
14:10
make it new.
14:12
Sorry,
14:13
we just had a quick cameo from
14:14
someone that didn't know
14:15
that she thought I was
14:16
watching something.
14:16
She didn't know I was going live.
14:20
I was looking at my other screen,
14:21
so I missed it.
14:22
There was a quick look.
14:23
One of these.
14:23
So, okay.
14:29
See, I mean,
14:29
I think it's okay to change
14:30
things up occasionally.
14:31
Yeah, I think you do need to just like,
14:34
you know, with programming,
14:35
like sometimes you just
14:36
need like you can reach a
14:38
certain plateau or
14:39
something and need to change up.
14:40
Like I think that comes from
14:42
mental game and also from the physical.
14:46
I wish ACR had a link
14:49
because I'd like to know
14:50
why she's not a fan of Brute.
14:56
I guess like I'm I'm.
14:59
It seems like the athletes
15:01
are less and less loyal to the camps.
15:03
So my loyalty or my fandom
15:06
to those things are less
15:09
and less as we move through all of this.
15:18
So she wants to type something up, great.
15:19
If not,
15:20
maybe I'll talk to her offline and
15:21
find out what all that's about.
15:24
The other big CrossFit thing is,
15:26
okay I like it it's just
15:27
she's going on vibes I like
15:28
it just listen to the vibes
15:30
I appreciate that um well
15:35
and he's not going anywhere
15:36
he's staying at home coach
15:37
ellis is coach remote um
15:39
it's not gonna be so he'll
15:41
still be working out at
15:42
crash uh just like he
15:44
always is um the other big
15:46
crossfit the news is this
15:47
weekend legends kicks off
15:50
uh today um in tempe arizona
15:53
I'm so bummed I'm not there.
15:55
I love those athletes so much,
15:58
and they're so much fun to hang out with.
16:00
I talked to Corey this morning,
16:01
who is participating in his
16:03
first Legends competition
16:07
in the Elite Division,
16:09
and he's probably about to
16:11
go any second now.
16:13
Regretfully,
16:14
they are not streaming any of it,
16:17
which really stinks.
16:20
But the first event today is
16:21
a three-minute cap.
16:24
Amy's favorite.
16:25
She loves those sprints.
16:26
Twenty handstand push-ups,
16:30
fifteen hang snatches,
16:31
and then it's max row calories.
16:37
No thanks.
16:40
And then they have a second event today,
16:41
which is the only two they're doing today,
16:44
and that is the swim event,
16:45
and it is an eight-minute cap,
16:48
max distance swim.
16:54
So I hate those.
16:56
Can I just say that?
16:56
Yeah.
16:58
And real quick, just to get your feedback.
17:00
Why do I hate those two workouts?
17:02
I don't know.
17:06
Because the better you are,
17:07
the more you're penalized.
17:11
Oh, okay.
17:13
Yeah.
17:13
Right.
17:13
Yeah.
17:13
Yeah.
17:13
Yeah.
17:14
You know,
17:16
and then max swim for eight minutes.
17:19
Yeah.
17:19
Granted,
17:20
if you're more efficient and
17:21
you're getting through the water,
17:22
you're probably not that
17:23
much more fatigued than the
17:24
other guy who's struggling
17:26
to get like laps in.
17:27
Yeah.
17:28
But it just feels like,
17:30
like eight minutes swim as
17:31
far as you can.
17:32
And I went five hundred
17:33
meters and you went two hundred meters.
17:35
Is it fair that I did the
17:37
extra three hundred meters?
17:38
I don't know.
17:43
yeah yeah I just I hate the
17:48
max max anything in a
17:50
competition at a very elite
17:53
level yeah I I do agree
17:54
with that I don't think
17:55
it's a it's a good test I
17:57
think it's fine at a local
17:58
comp to do those kinds of
17:59
things but at a very elite
18:01
level I just find it um to
18:03
be too much yeah I'm with
18:06
you on that yeah so
18:10
But good luck to Corey out
18:11
there and all the other
18:12
athletes that we've gotten
18:13
to know over the years.
18:16
It's a cool place to have a
18:18
competition at Arizona State.
18:20
They have the pool right there.
18:21
Okay.
18:21
Yep.
18:21
I got to bounce.
18:21
See you.
18:24
All right.
18:27
Bye.
18:27
Sorry.
18:31
And Murph says bye to everybody.
18:35
But I think it's a great if
18:36
you've never been to this
18:37
competition or when they
18:39
hold Desert City there,
18:40
they hold Masters there.
18:42
Both of them are amazing competitions.
18:45
The site is beautiful.
18:46
And I mean, I wish I was there for that.
18:51
So with that,
18:52
it's just going to be me for
18:53
the rest of the time.
18:56
If there's anything you want to talk about,
18:57
make sure to throw that in the chat.
19:00
But I wanted to talk about a
19:01
couple things that I saw
19:04
this week that are just fun,
19:06
weird news items because in
19:08
the CrossFit space,
19:09
we're kind of like no new
19:11
news is coming out about the seasons,
19:14
either the alternatives or the main one.
19:17
So I'm just...
19:18
going to do some stuff.
19:19
And I've announced a couple
19:20
of times that I'm thinking
19:22
about doing an everyday lunch show.
19:24
So right around this time every day.
19:27
And it's, it may not be CrossFit based.
19:30
It's just going to be
19:30
whatever's on our mind that day.
19:32
And any of the cast of
19:34
characters that are on this
19:35
show or on this channel
19:37
could pop in that day and
19:39
just talk about what's
19:40
going on either around the
19:42
world or in their lives.
19:43
But it would just be like a short,
19:47
every day of the week, weekday,
19:49
and we'll probably take the
19:50
weekends off and let the
19:52
CrossFit talk show ride on the weekend.
19:55
And we'll probably do a
19:56
roundtable full CrossFit
19:57
show at some point during
19:58
the week as well.
19:59
It doesn't mean we won't talk CrossFit,
20:01
but we may talk about other
20:03
things as well.
20:05
So yesterday I was watching
20:06
the Pat McAfee show,
20:08
and I'm going to share my
20:09
screen a little bit here.
20:12
There was an incident that
20:14
happened in Arizona, Scottsdale, Arizona.
20:17
And there were these guys
20:19
that it turns out to be
20:21
allegedly are con artists
20:24
who bounce from town to town.
20:26
They call themselves like
20:27
the Irish gypsies.
20:29
Um,
20:30
and I guess it's like a nationwide thing.
20:32
And this is the Texas
20:33
chapter that were involved in this,
20:35
but they were in Arizona and they,
20:37
they go from town to town
20:38
conning people and robbing them, um,
20:43
But these guys were celebrating something.
20:45
So they went to, the story starts with,
20:48
they went to a golf club.
20:50
They were told that the bar
20:52
shut down at six o'clock.
20:54
And they didn't like that.
20:55
So they started pushing and
20:57
shoving the servers that were there.
21:01
And all of this is caught on video.
21:04
I only have a couple of
21:05
snippets of things because
21:06
I don't want to get dinged
21:07
for copyright infringement
21:09
or anything like that.
21:11
So that video is on the Pat McAfee show.
21:13
If you go to a show yesterday,
21:15
they walk through the entire thing.
21:17
It's insane.
21:19
so then the people finally
21:20
leave there and they end up
21:22
at a restaurant which you
21:24
see pictured here which is
21:26
houston's in scottsdale
21:27
arizona and this is a
21:28
camera inside the
21:30
restaurant where these people start
21:35
going after the manager and
21:37
the assistant manager.
21:38
What happens before you see
21:39
this camera shot is there's
21:40
a guy who gets into a fight
21:42
with the assistant manager
21:44
and he's walked out because
21:46
there's no place for them
21:46
to sit and they want to be
21:48
served while they're standing.
21:50
The manager's trying to
21:51
explain to them that they
21:52
cannot be served without a
21:53
seat and there are no seats available.
21:56
Could they come back later?
21:58
And so they start yelling
21:59
and screaming at the managers.
22:01
One guy's been escorted out.
22:03
The next is now the rest of
22:05
them are arguing with the manager.
22:08
And this guy you see right
22:09
here that's walking toward
22:11
them is going to see what's going on.
22:14
And he was sitting at the bar here.
22:16
And this is a guy from Scottsdale, Arizona,
22:18
who frequents this
22:20
establishment four or five days a week.
22:27
And you'll know why he's
22:28
kind of an established
22:29
customer in a second.
22:31
But he walks over there.
22:33
as you can see,
22:34
to find out what's going on.
22:36
And one of the guys gets
22:37
into a puncher's stance and
22:39
starts swinging.
22:41
So now they're charging him.
22:45
He keeps backing up,
22:46
trying to get them to
22:47
follow him out of the restaurant.
22:50
He gets pinned against the
22:51
bar for a second,
22:52
but then fights his way out,
22:54
and they end up going outside.
22:56
And I think that this footage,
22:58
this is actually from
22:58
Channel Twelve News in Arizona.
23:02
You can see here's the door,
23:04
people trying to get out of the way,
23:06
and the fight will end up
23:07
coming outside the doors.
23:15
And there's people running
23:16
with their babies to get
23:17
out of the way of this fight.
23:20
So it continues on here a little bit.
23:21
I don't know if it stopped.
23:26
There we go.
23:27
Here it comes out.
23:28
They keep chasing the guy,
23:30
and he just keeps backing up,
23:31
trying to get away from them.
23:35
Um,
23:35
and here they are now into the parking
23:37
lot.
23:38
Jody's driving.
23:39
So I'm trying to be as
23:40
descriptive as possible.
23:41
And you can see the horde of
23:42
people across the parking lot coming.
23:45
And the one guy just kind of
23:46
bouncing in reverse,
23:47
trying to get away from them all.
23:50
Uh,
23:50
and they keep charging at him down
23:52
through the parking lot.
23:54
Um,
23:55
And you can see now they are
23:57
a good distance away from
23:58
the front of the restaurant
23:59
and he just keeps bouncing
24:01
in reverse trying to get
24:01
away from them and they're
24:03
yelling and screaming at
24:04
him throwing their arms
24:05
around and he just keeps
24:07
backing up trying to get away from them.
24:11
And the camera angle will
24:13
keep switching now you see
24:14
them here they're still
24:15
chasing after him.
24:18
And he's just trying to get
24:19
away at this point.
24:24
And so.
24:27
What happens is,
24:28
is they turn a corner here
24:31
and there's going to be a
24:32
point where you can kind of see,
24:33
but you can't see they're
24:36
going to be behind a dumpster.
24:41
And I think that happens
24:42
pretty quickly in this area.
24:47
Sorry,
24:47
this is taking a little bit longer
24:48
than I thought.
24:50
I'm trying to fast forward
24:51
through the tape.
24:52
Okay, here's the dumpster.
24:54
One of the guys approaches.
24:55
Okay, I'm going to pause it for a second.
24:57
So what happens right before this,
24:58
right behind this dumpster,
25:00
a guy then charges the
25:01
person who was trying to
25:03
help out the restaurant and
25:04
get out of there.
25:06
He gets charged at,
25:07
and the guy that was trying
25:08
to run away sort of punches
25:12
the guy and knocks him out
25:13
behind the dumpster.
25:14
now all of his buddies are
25:16
coming after the guy and
25:17
they're charging him to
25:18
take him down and at this
25:20
point they have taken him
25:21
to the ground and they're
25:24
beating on him and he's
25:25
fighting to get up and then
25:27
they they tackle him again
25:29
you can see here takes him
25:30
to the ground and this guy
25:31
in the red shirt starts
25:33
kicking him he tries to
25:35
kick him five times
25:37
lands three of the kicks the
25:39
guy gets up and runs away
25:41
and he gets into a cvs uh
25:44
right here where you can
25:45
kind of see him running
25:46
into the cvs he calls nine
25:48
one one and the cops come
25:52
What turns out to be, to happen,
25:54
I'm going to unshare my screen now.
25:55
What turns up is that that
25:57
guy is a former NHL hockey
25:59
player who hosts a podcast
26:01
called Spitting Chicklets.
26:03
And if you know anything
26:04
about the hockey world,
26:05
Spitting Chicklets is when
26:06
you lose your teeth in a
26:08
fight in a hockey match
26:09
game and you spit your chicklets, right?
26:14
So the guy could defend himself.
26:16
And if you see like the
26:18
mugshots of the guys that attacked him,
26:21
they are bruised everywhere.
26:23
And when you see him,
26:24
he looks relatively unscathed.
26:27
However, they did kick him.
26:28
They punched him.
26:29
They did a lot of things like that.
26:33
But when you act like a
26:34
dipshit and a dumbass in a
26:36
place like this and you
26:37
think that you can treat people like crap,
26:41
you never know if an NHL
26:43
veteran is sitting at the
26:44
bar ready to kick your ass
26:45
if you do things like this.
26:48
All six of the members have been arrested.
26:54
There's actually... If you
26:54
go to the Pat McAfee show
26:56
again and watch this,
26:58
there's body cam footage
27:00
where they describe this
27:01
guy as he was so big and no body fat,
27:06
all muscle.
27:07
He looked like Dwayne The Rock Johnson.
27:09
And the guy's like five, eight,
27:11
a hundred and eighty pounds.
27:13
Smaller build on the hockey side.
27:15
But if you watch hockey,
27:17
you know that's a tough sport.
27:19
And if you are...
27:21
doing things in hockey,
27:23
you're a pretty tough son of a gun.
27:24
So...
27:26
ends up getting them away
27:27
from the restaurant helping
27:28
the restaurant out calling
27:30
nine one one the guys get
27:32
arrested um turns out
27:33
they're a part of this like
27:34
I said nationwide thing
27:36
they call themselves like
27:37
the irish gypsies they're
27:38
con artists um and the rest
27:40
of the irish gypsies are
27:41
now upset at this chapter
27:44
because they're conners
27:45
they want to go about
27:46
business like quietly not
27:47
mate not pointing a
27:49
spotlight on themselves so
27:50
now they're in trouble with this like
27:53
irish gypsy organization
27:55
which are not good people
27:56
anyway they're just robbing
27:57
people and conning them and
27:58
doing things like that but
28:00
I found it to be like a
28:01
really fascinating story uh
28:03
that I wanted to share and
28:04
I found it so funny that
28:07
the the place they picked
28:08
on these people there sits um
28:12
an nhl veteran uh who could
28:16
defend himself got them out
28:17
of the restaurant did all
28:19
those things uh and not
28:21
only is he an nhl veteran
28:22
but he hosts a podcast
28:23
called spitting chicklets
28:24
uh what what an amazing
28:26
story and um you know you hope that
28:31
that there are heroes in life like that,
28:33
that stand up for those who
28:35
can't stand up for
28:36
themselves and do those things.
28:38
And what an amazing response he had.
28:41
And so,
28:41
and I'm sure that restaurant is so
28:43
thankful that he stood up and did that.
28:45
But wow.
28:47
And you know,
28:48
this is happening all the time.
28:49
And it's pretty amazing that
28:50
he was able to do that,
28:52
like stand up for those
28:53
people and take those things on.
28:57
But I just wanted to share that.
29:00
Um,
29:01
another thing that I wanted to talk
29:02
about is, um,
29:05
I watched Monday night
29:06
football the other night.
29:07
If you've been watching this podcast,
29:08
you know, I'm a big football fan,
29:10
big Chicago bear fan,
29:11
and not much to cheer about.
29:13
Uh, this week,
29:14
the NFL tried to do something different,
29:18
um,
29:18
by on Disney plus they did the Monday
29:21
night football game.
29:23
Um,
29:23
And they superimposed
29:25
characters from The Simpsons.
29:27
So in the Disney Plus version,
29:29
it actually took place at Adam Park.
29:33
uh,
29:33
with the nuclear reactor outside of the
29:36
park.
29:37
Um,
29:38
the field goal posts were made of
29:40
crusty burgers on the one end and, uh,
29:42
donuts on the other end.
29:44
Um, and then at times,
29:47
some of the characters from
29:48
the Simpsons came in to
29:49
play different positions.
29:51
And it was the actual real
29:53
game that was being broadcast on ESPN, uh,
29:56
on Monday night football.
29:58
Uh,
29:58
but it would superimpose like Homer over,
30:01
uh,
30:03
I can't remember cooper rush
30:04
uh from the the cowboys or
30:09
lisa simpson was cd lamb or
30:12
bart simpson was joe burrow
30:14
um just at times they would
30:16
kind of come in and out and
30:17
do that I have to tell you
30:18
at first I thought wow this
30:19
is really dumb why in the
30:21
hell would they do this
30:23
But I found myself rooting
30:25
for the characters of The
30:26
Simpsons to score touchdowns and stuff.
30:29
And I can only see it being
30:30
quite the marketing ploy
30:32
for kids to watch NFL
30:36
football and to learn about
30:37
the game in a way that
30:38
would be fun for them.
30:41
I don't think it was made for adults,
30:42
but my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
30:46
Cheering for the characters
30:48
of the Simpsons as they
30:50
were playing an NFL football game.
30:53
There were some little
30:54
glitchy things because it
30:55
is very computer intense.
30:59
But other than that,
31:00
it was really enjoyable to watch.
31:02
And if you haven't seen any
31:04
of the clips or anything,
31:04
you should check it out.
31:07
It is.
31:07
It's pretty amazing.
31:08
I think the final play.
31:10
um it ends up being where
31:13
lisa catches a ball homer
31:15
tries to tackle her and she
31:17
does a juke move which is
31:18
really um jamar chase uh
31:21
juking a defensive back for
31:23
the cowboys and homer looks
31:25
like he like busts an ankle
31:26
and goes down and lisa
31:28
breaks around him for the
31:29
touchdown which is pretty pretty cool so
31:34
Those are kind of the fun
31:35
news stories I wanted to
31:36
talk about today.
31:39
Please let us know in the
31:39

31:49
the world um or in our lives

33:05
there uh hopefully he is
33:07
doing well on that first
33:08
event I know that swimming
33:10
is not the thing he's
33:11
looking forward to later
33:12
today so hopefully he can
33:13
start with a bang and then um
33:16
to just meet his
33:19
expectations on the swim
33:20
and be able to exceed those a little bit.
33:23
We have that going on,
33:24
plus a lot of our friends are out there,
33:26
and I'll be checking in
33:27
with them throughout the
33:28
next couple days.
33:29
We'll report on that on
33:30
Sunday Night CrossFit Talk
33:32
as I kind of talk through those people.
33:35
The other big topic we're
33:36
going to do on Sunday Night
33:37
CrossFit Talk this week is
33:40
We see where like High Rocks
33:42
is exploding by having this
33:45
event that moves from town to town.
33:47
People sign up, they come,
33:49
they do the High Rocks event.
33:50
It's a big, massive thing.
33:52
Would CrossFit benefit with
33:54
creating something that
33:56
travels from town to town
33:58
and allows people to sign up,
34:00
come in and do the event as
34:01
a community today?
34:04
and test themselves against
34:05
whoever signs up for that event.
34:07
And then it just bounces to
34:09
the next event.
34:10
I have some ideas.
34:11
Carolyn has some ideas.
34:13
I'm sure Jamie has some
34:14
thoughts on that as well.
34:16
But we'll be bringing that
34:17
to you Sunday night as kind
34:20
of a thought in trying to
34:22
grow the sport again.
34:24
uh reluctantly I think we
34:26
are we are at a point where
34:29
we we have done some damage
34:32
to the sport and and I'm
34:35
not just talking this year
34:36
I'm talking from forward
34:39
when in the sport was as
34:41
big as it's ever been and
34:43
since that time we've just
34:45
taken misstep after misstep
34:46
after misstep and tarnished
34:50
whatever this competition
34:52
sport thing is that we have
34:55
um so with all of that I uh
35:04
we want to talk about that
35:05
and this is just an idea of
35:06
a way to kind of talk about
35:09
that and and maybe a way to
35:11
promote the sport more
35:13
grassroots locally the
35:15
other thing is if tyler
35:16
watkins wrote an article
35:17
for for barbell spin this week
35:20
about how about they had a
35:22
black box um meeting um at
35:26
some point back in the
35:28
early days of crossfit and
35:29
he proposes that they do a
35:31
white box meeting um
35:36
It has some very interesting
35:37
thinking behind it.
35:39
Do I think it would ever happen?
35:41
Probably not.
35:42
Do I think it should happen?
35:44
Yes, it should.
35:46
But it's a great article
35:47
that Tyler put together and
35:49
you should go check it out.
35:54
It's just an interesting way
35:55
of thinking about things.
35:56
It's really just getting all
35:58
of the people in the room
35:59
together to talk about how
36:02
to move things forward
36:04
And letting people have like
36:06
an open floor to talk about those things.
36:10
I'm not sure that that would ever work,
36:13
but I think it's an
36:14
interesting thought about that.
36:19
And then he said an
36:20
alternative could be to
36:21
have a CrossFit survivor
36:24
where you put people
36:27
together that maybe don't
36:28
like each other.
36:30
You have games and you vote people off.
36:35
I don't know.
36:35
I think that got a little out there.
36:38
side of the box too much maybe,
36:41
but I enjoyed the humor
36:42
behind it for sure.
36:44
But I do think that a lot of
36:46
the major players in the
36:47
sport would benefit from
36:49
getting in a room together and talking.
36:51
And so if you haven't seen
36:54
that article in Barbell Spin,
36:55
go check it out.
36:57
It was written by Tyler Watkins.
37:01
I'll try to pull it up.
37:08
It's not anything to bet on.
37:13
Jay Burch, I'm trying to pull it up here.
37:26
Sorry.
37:32
It's a lot more difficult
37:33
doing this when you're here
37:33
by yourself and have to
37:36
read all the comments.
37:43
um so let me see if I can
37:46
find that article okay here
37:49
we go share screen uh here
37:57
we go uh so it's this one
38:00
right here could I revamp
38:02
the black box summit
38:03
between crossfit hq pfaa
38:05
and media unite the
38:06
community um and it's
38:08
written by tyler watkins um
38:14
And here it is.
38:14
It's, it's really,
38:16
really an interesting idea and a thought.
38:18
And I,
38:18
I highly encourage you to go check
38:21
it out.
38:22
Um,
38:22
and here's his new version of the white
38:23
box summit,
38:25
as opposed to a black box summit.
38:27
Um,
38:30
I get it now no I'm saying
38:31
the survivor idea just
38:32
another way for tyler to
38:33
make something you can vote
38:34
on good point good point um
38:37
he actually took it from
38:38
barbell sports if you watch
38:40
the spin last night he um
38:42
he shows what barbell sports is doing uh
38:47
And, and that was, that's, that's his,
38:50
his thought and an idea.
38:51
And,
38:52
and they're getting like a ton of
38:53
views for it.
38:55
Um, I just don't know if that would, um,
38:57
it probably would maybe
38:59
divide people more, uh,
39:02
by making them work
39:02
together and get through
39:04
things and then voting people off, um,
39:07
than bringing people together.
39:09
But, uh, but this, this,
39:11
the first part of this
39:12
article is really good and
39:14
you should go check it out for sure.
39:16
Um,
39:18
He did a nice job on that.
39:22
So with that, I'm going to call it a day.
39:26
But again,
39:27
leave some stuff in the comments
39:29
if you think that having a
39:30
daily show would be cool.
39:33
Again, we would talk CrossFit,
39:34
but that would not be the
39:35
main focus of the weekly or
39:37
daily show during the week.
39:39
It would just be kind of
39:40
like what's going on in our lives,
39:41
what's going on around the world,
39:43
and just sharing weird news stories,
39:46
things like that.
39:48
