Lunch with the Clydesdale & Cowboy - Pickles and Righting the Ship in CrossFit! · Clydesdale Media Podcast

0:00
Well,
0:01
today we just stared at each other till
0:03
the start time so we didn't mess it
0:05
up.
0:27
From the gym to the screen, yeah,
0:29
we cover it all.
0:30
Midday motivation every time you press
0:32
call.
0:32
Lunch with the Clydesdales.
0:35
Cowboy, bring the heat.
0:37
CrossFit, boobies, music on repeat.
0:40
Half-hour hustle, yeah,
0:42
we building that brand.
0:43
Grab a plate, tune in now,
0:45
you part of the fam.
0:53
It's lunchtime.
0:58
Very nice.
0:59
What is going on?
1:01
You just stared at each other.
1:03
That doesn't sound awkward at all.
1:04
It's only awkward if you make it awkward,
1:06
Meredith.
1:07
Make it weird.
1:10
Make it weird.
1:12
That's one of the things I actually try
1:13
to do, believe it or not.
1:15
Or not try to, man,
1:16
I'd say try to do.
1:17
When we have partner workouts and I'm
1:19
coaching in the morning,
1:21
that's usually on Saturdays,
1:22
I usually tell everybody while we're
1:24
warming up, I was like,
1:26
for this synchro movement,
1:27
make sure you're staring directly at your
1:29
partner.
1:29
Make it weird, folks.
1:31
Make it weird.
1:34
my first crossfit gym we had such little
1:37
space and grew so fast that here's the
1:45
thing right you're pretty tight you're
1:47
doing like say grace you're doing thirty
1:49
cleaning jerks for time and you're no more
1:52
than like three or four feet away from
1:53
the person right
1:57
Most people then,
1:58
you all line up like face to butt,
2:02
face to butt, face to butt, right?
2:05
Yeah.
2:05
That one guy that comes in,
2:07
turns around and goes face to face.
2:10
Because he didn't want to be staring at
2:11
the wall.
2:16
It's just like a guy going to the
2:18
urinal.
2:21
It is protocol that if there is enough
2:24
space,
2:25
you leave one urinal gap between you and
2:28
the other guy.
2:30
That's a guy rule.
2:32
Ladies, welcome to our world.
2:35
Nothing like going into a bathroom,
2:38
going down to the last urinal.
2:40
They're all open,
2:41
and a guy comes in and comes in
2:42
right next to you.
2:43
Stands right next to you and wants to
2:45
talk to you about it.
2:46
Hey, where are you flying to?
2:48
Hey, man, don't.
2:53
Yeah.
2:53
There's a couple reasons for the gap.
2:56
Nobody wants a splash.
2:59
Nobody does.
3:01
Nobody wants a splash.
3:04
Mark Phillips is a dead stare kind of
3:06
guy.
3:08
Can I just say?
3:09
Just right here.
3:11
I want to look lovingly into Mark
3:13
Phillips' eyes because he is the best.
3:18
right after we went off the air yesterday
3:20
like literally a millisecond after we went
3:23
off the air he gifted five more
3:26
memberships to the channel he is the best
3:30
i look lovingly into your eyes mark
3:32
phillips i'm so glad that you are here
3:35
right here right there into the eyes i
3:40
tried to make it awkward i hope it
3:41
worked absolutely totally worked make it
3:46
weird folks
3:47
So, yeah.
3:50
I don't even remember how we got on
3:51
urinals and all that, but... Oh, yeah.
3:57
Yeah, the tightness of the gym.
3:58
And then trying to clean and jerk facing
4:01
somebody at like three feet.
4:03
What it did teach you is to keep
4:05
the bar close.
4:06
Keep the bar close, baby.
4:07
Keep the bar close.
4:09
Keep the bar close.
4:10
I think it made me a better clean
4:11
and jerker.
4:12
And guide it back to the ground because
4:15
bumper plates will bounce.
4:16
Yep.
4:17
You don't want that.
4:20
We didn't have much bouncing because we
4:22
were on turf.
4:23
Oh.
4:24
Yeah, it was a weird, wild setup.
4:27
We were in the back of a volleyball
4:28
center.
4:30
And we had like a strip.
4:32
It literally was this long, narrow strip.
4:36
It had a garage door on each end.
4:37
And so when we ran four hundreds,
4:39
you ran through the gym and then back
4:43
out the other side.
4:44
That sounds sketchy.
4:47
It actually was so much fun, dude.
4:50
I would imagine it was.
4:51
Look,
4:52
we only had the one big roll-up door.
4:55
And if there's a lot of people in
4:56
class and you find yourself on the
4:57
opposite side of the roll-up door,
4:58
you get to run a four hundred plus
5:00
every single time to be able to get
5:02
back to your barbell,
5:02
whatever that ends up looking like.
5:05
Because nobody...
5:08
like runs to the door and then goes
5:10
well i ran across the room which is
5:12
like sixty feet long so i can cut
5:14
this four hundred before i get it no
5:16
bro you still gotta get to the four
5:17
hundred mark so yeah see when you make
5:20
when you make the gym space part of
5:22
the lap it's just like a game setup
5:25
everybody's running the same amount of
5:26
distance because you start at your bar you
5:28
come back to your bar
5:30
So what Benort has done from time to
5:32
time, we have stuff like that,
5:33
especially on Saturdays,
5:34
is everybody will put cones up at the
5:38
back.
5:40
And if you want to come in,
5:41
you got to go around the cone first
5:42
to go back to your spot.
5:44
Just same thing, same concept.
5:46
Now everybody's running the same distance.
5:49
That's only if we're feeling really far.
5:52
The other thing that was just lovely at
5:54
this gym was that
5:58
they didn't want to pay for a rogue
6:00
pull-up system of any kind.
6:03
So they had a pull-up bar fabricated.
6:06
It was way thicker than like a rope
6:11
or hung it so high.
6:13
Nobody could jump to it.
6:16
You had to get boxed out pull-up bar.
6:20
So if you couldn't have a lot of
6:23
pull-ups, down, back up on the box,
6:25
up onto the pull-up bar, a couple more,
6:27
down, up.
6:31
It's just extra fitness.
6:32
That's all it is.
6:33
It is.
6:33
It's extra fitness.
6:34
It's built-in extra fitness.
6:36
It did affect Fran times.
6:37
I will say that.
6:38
I would imagine it would.
6:41
I would imagine it would.
6:43
Thick bars is rough, dude.
6:46
And our gym owner.
6:48
Oh, sorry.
6:51
None of us used our thumbs much.
6:53
So then when we did move to a
6:54
new facility where we got to purchase our
6:56
own rigs and stuff,
6:59
nobody hooked their thumbs.
7:02
The bar was so thick on the old
7:03
one,
7:04
all you could do is rest on the
7:05
top.
7:06
Get that monkey grip, that suicide grip,
7:09
which is not fun, by the way,
7:10
at all.
7:11
I do not like it.
7:13
I do it from time to time.
7:18
I need to buy some new grips.
7:19
I keep forgetting to do that.
7:22
Yeah.
7:25
I am.
7:26
I'm like a twelve-year-old kid, dude.
7:30
I love the Chicago Bears so much.
7:32
I'm aware.
7:33
They are playing tonight.
7:35
They are?
7:36
I am a wreck.
7:38
New England Patriots.
7:40
I'm a wreck.
7:42
It's throwing off my whole day.
7:46
They announced the starter.
7:51
Caleb started last week.
7:53
Oh, did he?
7:54
Yeah.
7:54
I didn't realize he was back.
7:56
Oh, yeah.
7:56
Back with a vengeance.
7:58
Okay, good.
8:00
Yeah.
8:01
He killed it last week.
8:05
But it's him versus Drake May.
8:06
Two quarterbacks drafted in the same
8:08
class.
8:08
Two picks.
8:09
One was number one.
8:10
One was number three.
8:12
There's debate who's better.
8:14
So it's all this extra stuff.
8:19
And after tonight,
8:21
if they can just get the win,
8:23
we will play again until a week from
8:26
Monday.
8:27
Oh, Lord.
8:28
So that's enough time to get the running
8:30
back fixed, the linebacker fixed.
8:34
Montez Sweat will come off suspension.
8:36
We'll get all that stuff back, hopefully.
8:42
Anybody with the last name Sweat is...
8:45
he's automatic comedy in my book.
8:47
And in fact, his first name is Montez,
8:49
which always automatically makes me think
8:50
of Montel,
8:52
either Jordan or the Montel that would use
8:54
to have the talk show.
8:56
Like either one works just fine in my
8:57
head.
8:57
It goes sweat.
8:59
So like now it's key sweat.
9:00
Now it's Montez sweat who should be an
9:02
R and B singer as far as I'm
9:03
concerned.
9:04
But instead he's a violent fricking
9:09
suspension.
9:10
Who, uh,
9:11
Who I knew was big,
9:13
but then when I saw him in Green
9:14
Bay... He's like, oh, snap.
9:16
Oh, that's a whole different level of big.
9:18
Yeah.
9:25
I'm a Cowboys fan.
9:27
Season already over.
9:27
Maybe next year.
9:28
Here's the deal, Mark Phillips.
9:30
It's not over.
9:32
They play in the worst division in
9:35
football.
9:36
The New York Giants...
9:39
who have lost Jackson Dart,
9:41
who have benched Jameis Winston,
9:43
are now in the lead.
9:45
The Giants are in first place.
9:48
That is how bad the division is.
9:52
Yeah, but they're the Cowboys.
9:53
Their season was over before they ever
9:55
started.
9:56
No, see, this is what they do.
9:58
They start off horrible.
9:59
Everybody hates on them.
10:01
Then they're going to get just good enough
10:03
to eke their way into the playoffs,
10:05
give their fans hope,
10:07
and then just rip it away when they
10:08
can't win a playoff game again for like
10:11
the thirtieth year in a row.
10:13
Which is why I said their season was
10:15
over before it started because everybody
10:16
knows that's going to happen.
10:18
Like, that's not a...
10:21
It's a self-fulfilling prophecy because it
10:23
happens every single year.
10:25
I'll find it hilarious.
10:27
If Mark Phillips is a true Cowboys fan,
10:29
he's going to forget about that the
10:31
season's over because they're going to go
10:32
on a mini win streak beating bad teams.
10:36
He's going to think it's all changed.
10:38
They're going to make the playoffs.
10:39
He's going to get excited.
10:41
Maybe there's hope.
10:41
There's no hope.
10:44
Yeah.
10:44
Oh,
10:44
have his heart ripped out of the ground
10:47
and stomped, ripped out of his chest,
10:49
stomped on the ground.
10:50
on for a while and whatnot.
10:52
Oh, that's good stuff right there.
10:57
Just like it's over for Notre Dame.
10:59
Oh, it's, yeah.
11:01
You know, if you can't beat the Mormons,
11:05
can't beat the Mormons on Mormon turf,
11:09
you can't beat the Mormons in general.
11:10
I mean, come on, dude.
11:14
Which,
11:15
Notre Dame has been historically overrated
11:18
by
11:19
year upon year upon year upon year yeah
11:21
and it's just once again proving uh
11:25
proving to be correct again who was robbed
11:37
bro uh notre dame was robbed by the
11:40
mormons i don't think that's a thing that
11:41
the mormons do so i don't know if
11:43
you saw the end of the game but
11:45
they got the reverse michigan yeah
11:48
Yeah, so Michigan got an extra second.
11:51
Notre Dame got a second ticket away.
11:53
Michigan,
11:53
the first team to win after full time.
11:59
The official, both blunders,
12:01
both blunders by the officiating in
12:05
opposite directions.
12:09
But yeah.
12:09
Now, Barry, you can say they were robbed,
12:12
but you don't know that they would have
12:14
actually made
12:16
anything of that extra second correct
12:20
right uh just be glad you don't cheer
12:25
for nebraska
12:26
That actually wasn't what I was laughing
12:28
at.
12:28
I was laughing at Meg.
12:28
Go ahead and leave that one right there
12:33
where it's at.
12:33
Yeah, we're leaving that down there.
12:38
I didn't know Travis would have time to
12:39
come into a chat.
12:42
I think he's putting together six million
12:44
shirts right now.
12:45
Packaging them, labeling them.
12:49
What, what, uh, eleven hundred, Travis?
12:51
Is that how many they ended up for?
12:54
I think it was more than that.
12:56
Eleven or twelve, something like that.
12:57
It was over a thousand.
12:58
I know that.
12:58
I know it was over a thousand for
13:00
sure.
13:01
I know, like,
13:02
I sold thirty Clydesdale shirts,
13:04
and I wanted to rip my eyes out.
13:07
Just send a nose out.
13:10
There you go.
13:11
Eleven hundred and twenty-three.
13:15
That's wild.
13:16
That is awesome.
13:17
Yeah.
13:19
That is that, look,
13:21
say what you want about Andrew Hiller,
13:23
polarizing.
13:24
Some people love him.
13:25
Some people hate him.
13:27
But not counting the people that signed up
13:29
for his programming and whatnot.
13:30
That's just eleven hundred twenty three
13:31
souls that decided they were going to help
13:35
that dude out.
13:37
Yeah.
13:38
I signed up for his programming.
13:40
I didn't I did not love the fact
13:42
that I had to finish with essentially
13:44
thirty burpees this morning.
13:46
Twenty devil's press, ten burpees.
13:52
Yeah.
13:54
And then right after that,
13:55
do some plank holds with shoulder touches.
13:58
Oh, that's part of my warmup, man.
14:00
Come on now.
14:03
Yeah.
14:03
Your warmup is my workout.
14:05
Shoulder touches.
14:08
Wednesday,
14:09
I had him do actually plank toe touches.
14:13
So reach all the way back,
14:13
touch toes while holding that plank.
14:16
Good stuff.
14:17
Core, strength, agility, coordination,
14:20
balance, you know,
14:22
The thirty seven tenants of CrossFit or in
14:26
the tenants now.
14:28
Tenants, baby.
14:33
Oh, I didn't see that.
14:35
So I watched the video of Heidi and
14:39
Lydia.
14:39
I the chief is my favorite workout of
14:42
all time.
14:44
It is every time I would see that
14:47
on the board, I would get giddy.
14:48
It is probably it is my number one
14:50
workout.
14:51
of all time I love it love it
14:53
love it um I just maybe that's what
14:59
I need to do to get some energy
15:01
out before this Bears game tonight go in
15:04
there just try to destroy yourself in the
15:06
garage before the before the game I like
15:08
that yeah but I don't even know I
15:12
don't think I would up the weight on
15:14
mine I just the regular chief is fine
15:16
for me non-competitive athlete
15:20
What,
15:20
how much did he up the weight by?
15:21
I don't know.
15:23
Cause it was the women's weights on the
15:25
video I watched.
15:25
I didn't see the posting.
15:27
Cause I just do the human track and
15:28
that wasn't part of my human track.
15:32
Not even touching the human track seems to
15:34
be enough.
15:34
I'm not going to mess with the other
15:35
one.
15:37
Yeah.
15:37
I I'm with Joseph one,
15:38
thirty-five is fine.
15:40
It's good.
15:42
So anyway, it's fine.
15:43
If you go fast enough, I mean,
15:48
I don't mind.
15:49
I tell people all the time, like,
15:50
would you rather do Fran at ninety five
15:51
or would you rather do Fran at seventy
15:53
five?
15:53
I would rather do it at ninety five.
15:55
I'm being completely honest with you
15:56
because I know how fast I'm going to
15:57
have to go at seventy five.
15:59
Cindy is body weight and it sucks.
16:02
Cindy is twenty minutes of movement the
16:05
entire time.
16:09
I had plenty enough of that, too.
16:11
So Super Chief is one fifty five one
16:13
oh five.
16:17
Oh.
16:20
Okay.
16:22
I am out of that.
16:23
Yeah, and it was the same after that...
16:28
Yeah, it was the three-minute rounds,
16:31
one-minute rest.
16:33
I like the Chief.
16:34
The couple times we did it,
16:35
I enjoyed it.
16:35
It's fun.
16:37
It's a good little workout.
16:38
Yeah, truly, I just love that.
16:42
Goes up to five in the final two
16:44
rounds.
16:45
Yeah, I don't need any part of that.
16:50
Mark Phillips saying Brandon tries to kill
16:53
you daily.
16:54
That is a fact, actively,
16:56
as a matter of fact.
16:58
actively we we've talked about this a
17:00
little bit right like i'm not in a
17:02
place in my life where i want to
17:04
be killed daily so i'm doing a competitive
17:07
track right right and i he has a
17:10
daily track that's it's comparable but
17:14
it's not the same you know the the
17:17
big tagline right now for for us is
17:19
uh sometimes brutal always effective
17:22
because like he'll program some that's
17:23
like bro this is gonna hurt like you
17:25
just know it will before you ever get
17:27
started
17:28
Would you go look at the daily track
17:30
or the people that are doing the affiliate
17:33
track stuff?
17:34
And it's similar to what we're doing,
17:36
but it's built for a class environment.
17:40
You can make it hurt,
17:42
but you can make damn near anything hurt,
17:44
depending on what it is.
17:46
What...
17:49
We talk about this a lot, right?
17:51
Like you, Carolyn,
17:52
and Jamie have completely different goals
17:54
than I do.
17:54
A little bit.
17:56
Right.
17:57
And I think that the wave of programming
18:00
in our space has gone from we take
18:03
these competitive tracks like Mayhem,
18:06
like...
18:08
stupid guy in Boston.
18:11
Can you remember his thing?
18:12
And so stop because he's not doing
18:14
CrossFit anymore.
18:15
And I know because we still program it.
18:17
I know, but that was,
18:18
that was where my gym went first.
18:20
But when my owner decided to stop
18:22
programming and went to comp train and,
18:26
uh, and I, I just hated it.
18:29
I hated every bit of it.
18:31
It took all the fun out of what
18:32
we were doing.
18:34
And, uh,
18:38
When I went to Polaris and then Christy
18:41
and Patrick were doing their own
18:43
programming,
18:44
I started to get some fun back into
18:46
it and love back into it.
18:48
Because it was really designed for
18:50
everybody and make it hard for the
18:52
competitors.
18:53
And if you want to do other stuff,
18:54
you do that on your own.
18:55
Yeah.
18:56
Right?
18:57
Where a lot of affiliate programming has
18:59
turned into,
19:00
let's take this competition track and
19:03
morph it so other people can do it.
19:06
right or just or just not like that
19:08
where hiller's human track dude it's like
19:12
i walked into the gym years ago and
19:17
i and i absolutely am loving this stuff
19:22
good deal like i i can't say enough
19:27
i'm never going to compete at the games
19:28
i'm never going to compete at semifinals
19:30
hell i may not ever make quarterfinals
19:34
yeah well now with that attitude but i
19:37
just want to be fit and healthy again
19:39
and i want to have fun doing it
19:42
are you uh pneumonia free yesterday was
19:46
rough dude i think so like i think
19:48
a lot came out last night not to
19:51
be gross um but last evening was pretty
19:56
rough and then i woke up this morning
19:57
feeling much much better
20:02
But I've been working out through it,
20:03
right?
20:03
Like it's walking pneumonia.
20:06
And the boogie woogie flu.
20:07
Yeah.
20:09
Every time I've ever heard somebody say I
20:11
got the walking pneumonia and my next
20:14
immediate thought,
20:14
because lyrics is the boogie woogie flu.
20:16
And I know it's the rocket pneumonia and
20:18
the boogie woogie flu for somebody comes
20:19
into comments and fucking lights me up,
20:20
but it's just a matter of,
20:23
it's just immediately where my brain goes.
20:25
Yeah.
20:28
Um,
20:29
Joseph says Sentinel is a complete beast.
20:31
It is.
20:32
But what I like about what they do,
20:34
they have, they have multiple tracks too.
20:36
I still have Sentinel.
20:37
I still do some Sentinel.
20:38
I just, I mix it up.
20:40
I look at the days,
20:42
which one do I want to have the
20:43
most fun with today?
20:45
Yeah.
20:47
I look at, and look,
20:50
what Mark was saying was that, you know,
20:52
yes,
20:53
there's some stuff where Brandon does,
20:54
it feels like he's actively trying to kill
20:56
us.
20:56
But there's also shit that I look at
20:57
and like, I'm doing like this.
20:59
Like, because it looks,
21:00
some of the stuff is super fun.
21:03
Some of the stuff is brutal and still
21:05
fun because of the mental aspect of trying
21:07
to challenge myself and, okay,
21:09
can I do this anywhere near what some
21:11
of the high level,
21:12
the Josh Mattis's and the...
21:16
hannah hardy's and what you know what
21:18
those guys are doing like we had interval
21:20
work um was that yesterday i think it
21:24
was yesterday i haven't done it yet i
21:25
was at halftime this morning i just
21:27
snatched and did some accessory work but
21:29
it was every five minutes like twenty
21:32
calories on the bike uh twenty snatches at
21:40
And then your score was your first round.
21:44
So you had, so he,
21:46
like it was three rounds.
21:47
So the idea being, okay,
21:50
go out and blast the first round and
21:51
then try to hold on for the next
21:53
two and see if you can come anywhere
21:54
near, near close to that.
21:56
And like handed it in two or two.
21:59
Josh Mattis did it in one fifty nine,
22:02
which is bananas to think about.
22:04
Twenty calories on a bite,
22:05
twenty snatches and twenty bar fees and
22:06
burpees in under two minutes.
22:09
Right.
22:10
And then you rest up and then go
22:11
again.
22:13
That looks like fun to me.
22:16
It probably doesn't look like a lot of
22:17
fun to a lot of people.
22:18
But again, you your goals are different,
22:21
right?
22:22
Like you're in a different place.
22:25
I just went through a stage where my
22:28
body just started breaking down and in
22:32
like, and I,
22:35
I needed to find the love in it
22:36
again.
22:38
And it's still CrossFit.
22:40
Like, it's not like I'm cherry picking.
22:43
Like I would never pick devil's presses
22:45
and burpees to do in a workout,
22:47
but I still did them today because it
22:49
makes me better.
22:51
don't generally i don't generally if i
22:53
write something for myself go you know
22:55
what i ought to do devil's press that
22:58
sounds like a fantastic idea not a great
23:00
movement for me i mean it is a
23:02
decent movement for me but definitely not
23:04
something i would just go out and pick
23:05
on my own right but i also got
23:10
that we also got it written on the
23:11
board the mike tyson uh discipline is
23:16
doing the things that you hate to do
23:17
but doing them like you love them
23:21
which sucks, but it's true.
23:22
Uh,
23:25
Mark Phillips doesn't care if you cherry
23:26
pick, just move that day.
23:28
And that's kind of the attitude I've taken
23:29
this year ever since like February and
23:32
getting all the surgeries done and,
23:35
and getting everything cleared up.
23:36
That's kind of the way,
23:38
but there is like a piece of me
23:39
as a former competitor that likes to add
23:41
that one challenge piece that maybe I
23:44
don't love,
23:46
but that's just how my mind works.
23:47
And that's okay because,
23:50
Even with the goals that I have,
23:53
I'm not training hard every day.
23:54
Absolutely.
23:56
I pick one,
23:57
maybe two days a week where I go,
23:59
okay, full send.
24:02
I'm going to make it hurt.
24:03
But I can't do that every day,
24:04
especially not at forty nine years old.
24:06
It's just not a good idea to do
24:07
that every day.
24:08
Train hard.
24:09
Absolutely.
24:10
But like the full send pieces,
24:12
I save those.
24:13
I don't say for special occasions,
24:14
but like I look and go, OK,
24:17
here's something I usually try to pick
24:19
something that I know I can go full
24:20
send on and pick something that I probably
24:22
shouldn't go full send on and hit it
24:24
anyway,
24:25
because I need to know what it feels
24:26
like.
24:26
I need to know what I can push
24:28
through, what I can't push through.
24:30
where my limits are,
24:31
because if I don't know where my limits
24:32
are,
24:33
then it's not going to do me a
24:34
hell of a lot of good whenever I'm
24:35
trying to find, you know,
24:36
break through them,
24:38
trying to get to the games.
24:39
I mean,
24:39
I don't know a better way to put
24:40
that.
24:42
I'm with Joseph.
24:42
My full send days are my days off.
24:45
I kill the rest day, man.
24:48
I rest like nobody's business.
24:53
I don't know if you guys saw this.
24:54
It broke right before we came on.
24:56
The spin put out that our Rebel Renegade
24:58
games is not going to be renewed.
25:01
Oh, okay.
25:03
But the interesting caveat to that is the
25:06
reason CrossFit gave for that was they
25:09
didn't have a strong enough depth of
25:10
field.
25:14
So take that first part of the equation.
25:19
Add that now every semifinal event gets
25:22
three people to the games.
25:27
Are they going to now be more selective
25:31
as to where those locations are to ensure
25:34
they get a good depth of field at
25:37
every semifinal?
25:39
Of all the things I've heard,
25:41
if that is in fact the truth,
25:43
that is the most exciting piece of this
25:45
whole thing for me.
25:47
That is... Wow.
25:53
Hey, sorry, the people in your area suck.
25:56
You don't get to be a semifinal anymore.
25:59
That's a strong move from CrossFit,
26:03
if that is in fact the case.
26:06
That is.
26:07
And yeah, why wouldn't you?
26:09
If that's the standard that they're going
26:11
to uphold,
26:13
then they're going to have to be a
26:15
lot more selective about who they send and
26:16
who they don't send,
26:18
or not who they send,
26:18
but who they invite to come in their
26:22
selection process,
26:23
because you can't just have...
26:27
Joe Bob from down the street coming to
26:28
your competition because if they
26:29
accidentally mess around and win for
26:31
whatever reason, judging Spain,
26:34
looking at you,
26:37
then you're going to have people,
26:38
like we were talking about yesterday,
26:40
that are at the games that don't
26:41
necessarily need to be at the games.
26:44
Dude, that's a good move.
26:46
If you remember,
26:47
Rebel only got one spot on each side.
26:51
And I think a team.
26:52
They got a team, too.
26:53
Yes.
26:55
Last year it was Hannah.
27:00
Why is her last name shot out of
27:03
my brain like a dart?
27:05
Been on my show, met her.
27:07
Hannah Black.
27:08
Black.
27:08
Hannah Black and Ben Fowler were the two
27:11
qualifiers from there.
27:14
That was cited in Spin's article.
27:16
I don't know...
27:18
If they were pointing at those two
27:20
individuals specifically,
27:21
I think they did okay at the games.
27:24
Yeah, Hannah did fine.
27:26
Ben Fowler's fine.
27:27
If they would have had to take two
27:29
and three,
27:29
there might have been a problem.
27:30
I think that's what they're looking at.
27:32
It's not the people that decided to go
27:34
there and win.
27:36
It's the people that were already there
27:38
outside of them.
27:40
That's a whole different ball of wax right
27:43
there, right?
27:44
Because I can hold a competition tomorrow
27:47
and Jason and freaking Amy show up,
27:52
but then the rest of the guys are
27:54
there, just guys from my gym.
27:56
Well,
27:57
if I'm taking top three from my
27:58
competition,
27:59
then you got two great ones in
28:02
to that nobody's ever heard of.
28:05
I mean, yeah.
28:06
Uh, cows and CrossFit would like to, um,
28:08
be the devil's advocate and tell you that
28:10
Joe Bob is actually pretty good.
28:11
Joe Bob from down the street.
28:16
So I'm wondering with that announcement,
28:22
if we're going to get some more, like,
28:25
like we had the judging issues in Spain
28:27
and,
28:28
yeah do they lose their semi-final or at
28:35
the very least if they don't lose it
28:38
if they if crossfit's gonna have this like
28:41
super strong presence there like people
28:43
from hq just kind of guiding over it
28:45
you know whoever that ends up being but
28:48
whether it's who's in charge of judging uh
28:53
Gosh darn it, I know the man's name.
28:55
But it's somebody like that there,
28:57
at the very least, or like, hey, bro,
29:01
it's been widely reported that judges were
29:05
cheating in favor of Spanish athletes.
29:08
We can't have that.
29:09
You guys are nothing anymore,
29:11
and we're going to go in a different
29:12
direction.
29:16
Yeah, it's hard, Shannon,
29:17
because Joe Bob actually equals legends.
29:19
Yeah.
29:22
Yeah,
29:22
it gets confusing with all the Joe Bobs
29:25
around.
29:25
There's a lot of Joe Bob running around.
29:28
Just loose in the street.
29:34
I don't know, dude.
29:35
I like it.
29:37
It's a strong move in the right direction,
29:39
I believe,
29:39
as far as getting the right people to
29:41
the games.
29:42
Or the most qualified people to the games.
29:44
I'm not saying the right people,
29:45
but the most qualified people to the
29:47
games,
29:47
which I guess would be the right people.
29:50
I think it'd be interesting to see what
29:51
happens in Asia, what happens in Spain,
29:55
what happens in South America.
29:58
I mean,
29:58
South America at times could make the
30:00
argument, but what was it,
30:02
two years ago they had a Masters athlete
30:04
represent the women's side?
30:07
Last year it was Miley Wade and Annika
30:09
Greer.
30:09
Last time I checked.
30:11
Annika Greer is from Tennessee.
30:16
Annika Greer is from the opposite of South
30:21
America.
30:21
Literally in the opposite direction to be
30:22
able to get to her.
30:27
I mean, good.
30:29
Here's the thing.
30:30
So who replaces them?
30:35
I don't know.
30:37
I've said on this show several times that
30:41
the event directors are in such a bad
30:45
spot.
30:48
They get very little help,
30:50
very little assistance from CrossFit.
30:52
For then CrossFit to come in and say,
30:54
you're not good enough.
30:56
We're taking away your,
30:57
there has to be something on the other
31:00
side of that.
31:02
that's coming in because if not,
31:05
where are we at?
31:06
I love your super optimistic take on that,
31:08
that they would use that kind of logic.
31:10
I'm not saying it's an optimistic take.
31:12
I'm not saying it's an optimistic take.
31:14
It could be a bad thing on the
31:15
other side.
31:16
Well, no,
31:17
just the fact that you think that they
31:19
have a plan in place is what I'm
31:21
getting at.
31:22
To say that you guys are out and
31:24
these guys are in, like that's a...
31:28
To think that CrossFit actually has a plan
31:31
beyond that.
31:33
Because if they're going by regions still,
31:35
right?
31:37
Somebody from the South African region.
31:38
Well,
31:39
now there's nobody from the South African
31:40
region, right?
31:41
And is there another huge comp down there
31:43
that could take their place?
31:45
We have to remember this too.
31:46
Like last year,
31:47
NorCal and Legends only got two each.
31:50
Two each.
31:51
They're going to get three each.
31:52
And Legends has already announced they are
31:55
still happening.
31:57
I think NorCal is...
31:59
pretty much announced it too no cows there
32:05
Europe has to have at least two oh
32:08
yeah right it'd be silly to not the
32:11
French throwdown and something else but
32:16
the the announcement yesterday said all
32:19
semis will be three places they did um
32:30
They will expect the Africans to go to
32:31
Torian or they could go to Europe.
32:35
I think it would be easier for them
32:36
to go to Europe than it would be
32:37
to get to Australia.
32:38
It depends on what end of the Africa
32:41
you're on.
32:42
Africa is a big place.
32:43
Did you see the rogue piece where they
32:46
handed the athletes a map of Scotland and
32:49
asked them to point where Aberdeen was?
32:52
No, I did not.
32:54
I need to go look because the only
32:56
one I saw so far was Danielle Brandon
32:58
looking at pictures of people with pink
33:00
hair.
33:01
The best is that they didn't even know
33:02
how to orient the map.
33:07
Which way does this go?
33:08
Oh, man.
33:10
That's funny.
33:11
Carolyn is in it, and she's like,
33:13
I'm a math teacher.
33:14
I don't know geography.
33:18
give me a give me a long division
33:20
problem don't give me any this is nonsense
33:23
um that's funny dude no i saw the
33:24
only one i said the only one i
33:25
saw and i laughed out loud whenever she
33:28
said it um because daniel brand's looking
33:30
at the pictures of everybody with pink
33:31
hair yeah and at one point she just
33:33
looks up she goes is this what i
33:35
looked like yep it's just kind of like
33:38
oh wait i should have said that out
33:39
loud and she just kind of keeps going
33:41
on did you see who she picked as
33:44
the best look with the pink hair
33:46
Clearly,
33:46
it was always going to be Jason Hopper.
33:48
It was.
33:51
Although,
33:52
Houghton didn't look bad with long hair.
33:54
I'm just saying.
33:58
So if you need entertainment today,
34:01
Rogue is absolutely smashing it,
34:03
as they always do.
34:05
Yeah.
34:06
Their social media stuff,
34:08
they're knocking it out the park.
34:09
I don't know who they got working on
34:12
it, but God bless them.
34:13
They're doing a fantastic job.
34:16
We don't have a producer today,
34:17
so I'm trying to pull this up.
34:20
But there's one that you have to see.
34:22
I got to get your reaction to.
34:24
Big fan.
34:25
Here we go.
34:30
Have you seen the hairy light foot?
34:33
No.
34:35
So they,
34:36
instead of the itty bitty mic that they
34:38
asked him the questions,
34:40
they give him a giant mic.
34:46
Which words or phrases do you most ever
34:48
use?
34:50
Really, really cool.
34:56
Imagine backing out like a sweet little
34:59
riff or being able to sing.
35:01
Just grab the mic and just be able
35:03
to just pop it out.
35:05
I like this game.
35:07
Chase someone.
35:10
With a mustache like mine,
35:11
I'm probably chasing someone.
35:12
What movie could you quote from start to
35:14
finish?
35:15
Oh, Hot Fuzz.
35:19
They are absolutely killing it.
35:23
Dude, that is outstanding.
35:25
That is outstanding.
35:26
The way he struggles with that big ass
35:29
microphone.
35:29
It's just like trying to figure out how
35:31
I'm going to hold this thing.
35:32
How do I hold it and open the...
35:34
Oh, that's good stuff.
35:40
Yeah,
35:41
that'll be my assignment for later this
35:42
afternoon.
35:43
They have just tons and tons of footage.
35:49
Emily Rolfe posted a thing that it was
35:52
Kyle taking a video of her playing pool.
35:55
and her like completely missing the ball
35:56
and you hear kyle go you want me
35:58
to delete that one too it's fantastic oh
36:09
they're so good they're so good um i
36:12
can't wait for tomorrow uh
36:16
We'll be on tomorrow.
36:17
We'll be talking about this.
36:18
Don't forget.
36:19
Great, great coverage.
36:21
You can,
36:21
you can actually go to the robe, robe,
36:24
the robe, the robe, the robe, the rogue,
36:29
the rogue invitational website.
36:31
Don't go to the rogue invitational
36:32
website.
36:33
That's not, it's probably going to be,
36:34
you're probably going to need safe search
36:37
or no one for that.
36:42
The Rogue Invitational website.
36:44
You can watch the stream on there live.
36:47
And if you do it there,
36:49
you can pick your camera.
36:52
Any camera.
36:53
Pick a camera.
36:54
Any camera.
36:56
I would love to know how much they
36:57
spend on that.
36:58
I really, really would.
36:59
I know they said,
37:00
Katie said a couple times,
37:01
they take a loss on it every single
37:02
year,
37:03
but they don't really care because they
37:05
make a bazillion dollars the rest of the
37:07
year.
37:07
But I would love to know how much
37:08
money they spend on just the broadcast,
37:11
not the whole thing.
37:13
So they partner with CBS.
37:14
Mm-hmm.
37:16
That has to help.
37:18
I'm sure.
37:19
Right.
37:20
CBS probably has those graphics already
37:24
At the ready,
37:26
I'm sure that because they use that
37:28
content on their CBS sports channels,
37:31
they pay Rogue for some of that.
37:33
I'm telling you, dude,
37:34
I was at the bowling alley one day
37:35
last year.
37:37
We were bowling as a family,
37:38
and on one of the TVs,
37:39
all of a sudden,
37:40
I look up and I go,
37:41
that's the Rogue Invitational.
37:43
And it wouldn't show an entire heat,
37:45
but they'd show the strongman doing some
37:47
stuff,
37:47
and then they'd show the crossfitter doing
37:48
some stuff.
37:49
And then they'd go to commercial,
37:50
and they'd come back and do it again.
37:51
It's awesome.
37:53
Yeah, for those who want to know,
37:54
the robe invitational is all about the
37:56
pockets for your tacos and jerky.
38:01
Women get excited because they got
38:03
pockets.
38:04
Women love pockets.
38:06
Pockets on stuff.
38:09
That's fantastic.
38:11
I don't think I've ever worn a robe
38:13
in my life.
38:18
I've owned a couple of robes,
38:19
but I don't think I've ever actually used
38:21
them.
38:23
Like people got me one like for Christmas
38:25
or something one year, like, you know,
38:27
grandparent present or something along
38:28
those lines.
38:29
But yeah, to actually have no, I don't,
38:31
what am I going to need it?
38:32
Like I got a towel.
38:33
What do I need a robe for?
38:38
Oh,
38:38
when you said all I can picture is
38:40
Cuba Gooding and Jerry Maguire going,
38:42
I just air dry, baby.
38:43
Just air dry, baby.
38:46
See, you want a towel?
38:47
Nah, just air dry.
38:51
It's all about the Kwan, man.
38:54
Help me help you.
38:57
God, that's such a good line.
39:01
Oh, God.
39:04
Swimmer, but never wore a robe.
39:05
I didn't.
39:06
I wore sweats.
39:07
And he air dried.
39:13
Yeah.
39:15
Does a hospital gown count?
39:17
I have worn those.
39:18
I have worn, yep.
39:19
I've worn a hospital gown before.
39:20
It's been a while, but.
39:23
We have a medical professional in the
39:25
chat.
39:26
We do.
39:26
She's right there.
39:27
Who the hell designed a hospital gown?
39:31
Who felt it appropriate to leave the whole
39:34
back open?
39:37
What we're going to do is we're going
39:38
to take what would basically be a regular
39:40
road, put it on backwards,
39:44
and then give you like three little areas
39:46
to maybe tie it in the back if
39:47
you can figure out how to do it
39:48
behind your back.
39:50
You're welcome.
39:53
Like you can't give you these strings that
39:55
you're supposed to tie.
39:57
Last time I checked,
39:58
I was not Harry Houdini.
40:00
I could not reach back there to tie.
40:04
No.
40:06
She's not responsible for designing
40:08
hospital gowns.
40:12
I get the easy access.
40:14
But can't we come up with a better
40:16
fastening agent than having to tie a bow
40:19
behind my back?
40:21
Right.
40:22
My arms don't bend that way,
40:23
and I am fairly mobile.
40:27
Oh, good night.
40:31
What do I take the trash out in?
40:34
My clothes.
40:36
Shorts, generally speaking.
40:39
Well, I live in the north.
40:40
It might be sweats.
40:44
It's not even a thirty-second walk to the
40:46
end of my driveway, so...
40:49
Travis just wears the hospital gown
40:52
backwards.
40:53
Not my problem.
40:54
Not my problem.
40:55
Sorry.
40:55
Figure it out, boys.
40:56
Whatever y'all want to do,
40:57
we're going to go from here.
40:59
I've tried that, Travis,
41:00
but it gets a bit drafty.
41:02
It can be.
41:03
I mean,
41:04
it's drafty either way you wear it,
41:05
if I'm being honest.
41:06
I've never been in a hospital where I
41:07
was like, this is nice and warm.
41:09
This whole place seems really toasty and
41:12
cozy.
41:13
Oh, good Lord.
41:15
Scott, are you a Sixers fan?
41:17
Barry, I've always been a Sixers fan.
41:20
Scott's sports allegiances are all over
41:23
the map, dude.
41:24
It's kind of wild.
41:26
All my sports allegiances are in
41:27
Pennsylvania other than NFL football.
41:32
Most of them are Pittsburgh.
41:34
Pittsburgh doesn't have an NBA team.
41:36
I like Dr. J.
41:37
I like Charles Barkley when I was a
41:39
kid.
41:40
They were my Pennsylvania team.
41:42
Throwing it back.
41:43
I wonder how many people remember that
41:44
that's where Barkley actually started was
41:46
the Sixers.
41:47
Like, I do.
41:48
Yeah,
41:48
I remember the days of him throwing men
41:50
out the pane glass window of a bar.
41:55
Good stuff right there.
41:58
Oh, Charles.
41:59
You got to air dry.
42:01
absolutely not the eagles man not the
42:03
eagles man i just i just don't like
42:07
the eagles man no my my grew up
42:13
in a stealer household
42:15
I got tired of everybody talking about the
42:17
Steelers.
42:18
I loved Walter Payton.
42:20
I started following the Bears.
42:21
It was like three years later,
42:22
they win the Super Bowl.
42:24
Little did I know that that was the
42:26
peak of my fandom.
42:30
And from nineteen eighty six on,
42:33
it was going to be a rough go.
42:34
We need a clip of Rose Old Rose
42:40
from Titanic going.
42:41
It's been eighty four years.
42:47
My father used to send me a clip
42:50
of that.
42:53
But Back to the Future must be my
42:54
favorite movie because they're always
42:56
going back to nineteen eighty five.
42:58
Yep.
42:58
There you go.
42:59
That's Bears Bears fans right there.
43:02
Back in eighty five,
43:03
we had Refrigerated Perry on the Super
43:05
Bowl.
43:07
Sang a song about it.
43:11
I got to tell you, man,
43:13
I was watching a video the other day
43:14
of Jim McMahon talking about Mike Ditka.
43:18
Oh, Lord.
43:18
And because Mike had just passed and
43:21
everybody was doing the thing.
43:23
And he was on there with Jimbo Covert,
43:25
who was the left tackle for the Bears
43:27
in that era.
43:28
And he said the funniest story he ever
43:30
saw was McMahon had hurt his hand,
43:32
broke his hand.
43:34
It was his non-throwing hand.
43:36
And Ditka really needed him to play.
43:40
And McMahon is trying to pull his pants
43:43
up,
43:44
but he can't because of the broken hand.
43:46
And Ditka comes up behind him and jerks
43:49
on the pants and pulls them up for
43:51
him.
43:53
And McMahon's like, I was like,
43:55
is Mike going to do a reach around?
43:58
What is happening right now?
44:00
And Jimbo goes, we all are dying.
44:02
And then Dick tucked his shirt in.
44:04
Yeah, here, let me help you.
44:07
Let me help you.
44:09
I need you out on that field.
44:13
That's a full-service coach right there.
44:15
That's what you call a player's coach.
44:18
Yeah.
44:25
That's been the best.
44:26
I mean,
44:27
I don't want Mike Ditka to die,
44:28
but the best part about it is everybody
44:31
telling the stories from that era.
44:33
Because that team was just a slew of
44:36
characters.
44:39
If it was today,
44:39
they'd have their own reality show.
44:41
I'm sure.
44:42
Well, to be fair,
44:44
they all have their own reality shows
44:45
nowadays.
44:48
Man, I need to get a coach.
44:50
Huh?
44:52
You can't have Mike Dickey.
44:55
He's gone.
44:56
Sorry.
45:00
I don't really have much else, man.
45:02
I did book a guest.
45:05
Oh.
45:06
Should I guess who it is?
45:07
I already told you who it was.
45:09
I know.
45:10
I was trying to play to the crowd
45:12
there.
45:13
So I reached out to Michael Shoemaker.
45:17
Micah Shoemaker.
45:19
Micah Shoemaker.
45:20
I can't talk today.
45:22
What is going on?
45:23
Sorry, Micah.
45:24
We know your name.
45:26
Micah Shoemaker,
45:28
after yesterday's announcement,
45:31
I told him, hey,
45:32
I have all these options for you.
45:34
I know you can't release all details right
45:37
now about the Masters CrossFit Games,
45:39
but when and what show do you want
45:42
to be on to come on and do
45:43
that?
45:44
He said,
45:45
let's do the Sunday night show on November
45:47
first.
45:48
Bam.
45:49
That is one week from Sunday, folks.
45:52
So...
45:54
We'll have Micah Shoemaker on the show
45:57
Sunday,
45:58
November first on the Sunday Night
46:00
CrossFit Talk.
46:02
It will be an open live.
46:04
So if you guys have questions,
46:06
I know we have a lot of masters
46:08
in the chat.
46:11
Make sure you are on that show.
46:13
I'll be tuned in.
46:14
I might even just come log in and
46:15
just be in the background,
46:16
me and Vicky just producing together so I
46:19
can make sure that I'm here to be
46:21
able to hear it because I want to
46:22
hear what else he's got to say.
46:24
I listened to or watched his interview
46:26
with Grubb,
46:28
which that's a little bit of home cooking
46:30
right there because Grubb also lives in
46:31
Birmingham,
46:32
so he just probably called him or went
46:34
over and knocked on his door or whatever.
46:36
It was pretty good.
46:38
I'm not quite finished with it yet.
46:39
I got like five minutes or so left.
46:42
Grubb didn't hold back.
46:43
He asked all the questions that people
46:45
actually wanted to answer.
46:47
Micah answered some of them,
46:48
didn't answer some other ones,
46:50
which was to be expected, right?
46:51
It'd be like if he was asking Dave
46:53
about the games, like, hey, brother,
46:54
it's like stuff I'm not going to tell
46:55
you.
46:56
So overall, it seemed pretty positive.
46:59
So I am curious and more curious to
47:02
see what he's going to say whenever we
47:03
get him on next week.
47:05
Love Jason Grubb,
47:06
always have great conversations with him
47:08
when I talk to him.
47:10
But I don't feel like he represents all
47:12
of the masters because he is in a
47:14
place where he is capitalized on us and
47:17
kudos to him for doing so.
47:19
Oh, absolutely.
47:20
It is very rare that you can take
47:22
a master's career and capitalize on it
47:24
like he has.
47:26
Yes.
47:26
But that has put him in a position
47:28
where I'm not sure he speaks for all
47:31
masters athletes.
47:32
And that's why I wanted to have Michael
47:34
on here.
47:35
We'll have Jamie.
47:36
We'll have Carolyn.
47:38
We'll have the chat peppering with
47:41
questions.
47:42
Get everything out there on the stuff that
47:44
you guys want to know.
47:46
And I've already approached the subject
47:49
about wanting to do something season-wide
47:52
to cover the Masters season next year.
47:56
All the way and through the games.
47:57
Love it.
47:59
Love it.
48:03
Oh, look at Joseph Ramirez.
48:06
In-person semifinal or bust, baby.
48:08
There you go.
48:12
Do you think MFC will be an in-person
48:13
master semi?
48:14
I do, Kate.
48:17
But I have no information on that.
48:19
So please don't take that as a definitive.
48:23
I'm just doing the math of where it's
48:25
located in the season.
48:27
Right.
48:27
I must say,
48:27
just judging by where it's at in the
48:30
season alone,
48:32
it would seem to be pretty silly if
48:34
it wouldn't be.
48:35
And them canceling last year to change
48:37
that to that.
48:39
Yeah.
48:39
Specifically to believe.
48:42
And I hope it is because I can
48:44
drive there in two and a half hours.
48:46
And my own issues with them from last
48:49
year aside, the one year I actually went,
48:51
they do put on a good show.
48:54
do put on a good event they do
48:55
put on a good show when at the
48:56
year i was there i had a blast
48:59
um i had an uh absolutely a good
49:00
time seemed to be pretty well programmed
49:03
and whatnot we got to do some stuff
49:05
like his first time ever swam in
49:06
competition before i did not do well but
49:09
the first time i ever swam um and
49:13
just for them to even think of doing
49:14
stuff like that for masters you know even
49:16
then which is three years ago was
49:19
outstanding so
49:21
good on them if that is in fact
49:23
what they are doing and all signs seem
49:25
to be pointing to that i am hoping
49:27
we get some more announcements about stuff
49:29
like that soon like that would be nice
49:32
for us masters athletes who are bubble
49:35
athletes looking to make the games looking
49:36
to make semifinals or whatnot to be able
49:38
to start planning out our seasons about
49:40
what we want to do like the faster
49:42
that information gets out the easier it is
49:44
on everybody else um
49:50
Shayna says, Grubb does not represent me.
49:53
He is not representing me for sure.
49:54
He is now a monopoly.
49:57
Right.
49:58
I hear what you're saying,
50:00
but good on him to take advantage of
50:03
that and being able to build a business
50:06
on what he has done.
50:08
But I agree with you wholeheartedly
50:11
because of that,
50:12
he does not represent the interests of all
50:15
Masters athletes.
50:18
Travis might have to look at a vendor
50:20
spot at MFC.
50:22
That's where I met Travis.
50:25
One of the best dudes in the business,
50:26
man.
50:27
Love that dude.
50:29
Peter says Grubb does carry himself well.
50:31
Surprised he's not pushed more by
50:32
CrossFit.
50:33
Peter,
50:34
I don't know if you've noticed this,
50:35
but CrossFit doesn't push anybody.
50:39
Bro,
50:40
how much more do y'all want him to...
50:41
When they talk about...
50:42
When they mention Mazars,
50:43
he's the only person they talk about.
50:45
So, like, I love you, Pete,
50:46
but come on, dude.
50:49
They don't push Amy Kringle.
50:50
They don't push James... Well,
50:52
a little bit of James Sprague.
50:53
They don't push Spider-Man.
50:55
They don't... They don't push Les Laton.
50:58
They don't push anybody.
51:06
They really don't.
51:07
And I...
51:10
I'm not going to be the dead horse
51:12
that is Amy Kringle,
51:13
but possibly the most marketable person
51:17
we've had win the games in the last
51:19
ten years and nothing.
51:22
And when you do push her and you
51:24
clip a reel and all you show is
51:27
her neck.
51:35
I don't know who's making the reel and
51:37
what neck fetish they have.
51:39
I could tell you it's not.
51:40
I could tell you who it's not.
51:44
I saw that.
51:45
I was like, what in the hell?
51:48
Yeah.
51:51
Ah, come on.
51:56
They have apps that make reels for you
51:58
that don't look at your neck.
52:00
Right.
52:03
Or even if you're using AI to make
52:05
one, you'd be like,
52:05
don't focus on the neck.
52:08
You can be specific if you need to.
52:11
Joseph says it is a strong neck.
52:14
It sure is.
52:15
It is a strong neck.
52:18
I'm not pushing Amy as wild.
52:19
She's insanely fit and stunning.
52:21
Amen, brother.
52:23
That's preacher choir business right
52:25
there.
52:27
And she has a personality.
52:29
She's not a rock.
52:31
She's not a pretty rock that does cool
52:33
stuff.
52:35
You can get a conversation out of her.
52:37
According to Scott, she's a close talker.
52:43
She's one of my favorite interviews that
52:44
I've ever done in person.
52:46
She was so... She was so jovial, so...
52:52
I don't even know how to...
52:53
She just was bubbly and...
52:56
didn't seem to mind at all when i
52:58
was asking her questions in the warm-up
53:00
area right i picked the right spot to
53:03
do it i didn't do it like before
53:05
an event i did it after an event
53:06
and she had just i think come close
53:09
to winning but you know you just got
53:12
to pick your spots yeah well as it
53:16
turns out you actually put thought into
53:17
that kind of stuff whenever you do in
53:20
your interviews it's a wild concept yeah
53:23
for some people to grab but whatever
53:31
she didn't she just win the games too
53:35
did she maybe I think I don't wow
53:40
did she that's weird here's the thing
53:52
Wayne
53:53
Is there anyone else besides Grubb that
53:55
utilizes self-promotion to its fullest in
53:57
the master space?
53:59
I don't think.
54:05
Here's my thing.
54:06
There are so many good stories in the
54:08
master's CrossFit space.
54:09
All you have to do is peek a
54:11
little bit.
54:14
Pull back the curtain.
54:14
What baffles my mind completely is in
54:16
twenty twenty five,
54:17
Carolyn Prevost made the elite CrossFit
54:20
Games and competed at the Masters CrossFit
54:23
Games.
54:24
And we're the only people that noticed how
54:28
that story didn't get pushed.
54:32
People should still be talking about that.
54:35
And I know I have a bias towards
54:36
Carolyn.
54:37
It doesn't matter, though,
54:39
even if you didn't.
54:40
That is an insane story.
54:43
Like, she's at Rogue.
54:45
People should be saying, oh,
54:46
and here's Carolyn Prevost,
54:48
who last year competed at the Masters
54:51
Games and at the actual games in the
54:54
same year.
54:56
Like, that should be a thing, dude.
54:57
That should be a tagline for her every
54:59
time somebody interviews her and every
55:00
time somebody talks about her because that
55:02
is an insane stat to have.
55:04
How many other people have done that?
55:06
Oh, let me guess.
55:07
None.
55:09
That many.
55:11
There's actually been one.
55:12
Who?
55:14
i don't like to mention her name because
55:16
uh i think she did it by cheating
55:19
oh i know what you're talking about and
55:21
she did she just hasn't been caught yet
55:27
yeah that's fair that's she came out of
55:30
that south american yes yes she did
55:33
factory of stuff skin skin looks like
55:36
brown leather um well aware who are we
55:38
talking about moving right along
55:45
Anyway,
55:46
imagine if Carolyn didn't have to teach if
55:48
she had enough sponsorships.
55:51
That's an interesting question that I've
55:53
actually posed to her, Seema.
55:56
I think it's about the balance in her
55:58
life for her.
56:00
I think if she didn't have teaching as
56:03
part of her day,
56:04
she would go stir crazy.
56:07
And it would actually make her,
56:09
I think even in her own mind,
56:10
it would make her a worse athlete.
56:14
Now, don't get me wrong.
56:15
She'd probably want to try.
56:16
Like, hey, let's give it a whirl.
56:18
Maybe I don't have to go to work
56:19
today.
56:19
Right.
56:21
But we've actually had that conversation.
56:24
And I think it is about the balance
56:27
in her day.
56:28
You know,
56:28
Brent Fikowski talked about it a lot when
56:30
he was an accountant.
56:33
Like,
56:33
he had to prioritize what he did in
56:35
training.
56:37
Get in, get out, get done.
56:39
When you have all day,
56:40
then you just start kind of like...
56:42
But moping around, doing this, doing that.
56:45
Or opposite of that,
56:47
you try to do all the things.
56:50
And look at it like, oh,
56:50
I got to get all this stuff.
56:51
I got to get all this stuff.
56:52
I got to get all this stuff.
56:53
You train for six hours straight,
56:54
seven hours straight,
56:55
and something like that.
56:55
And some people can hold up with it.
56:58
Some people don't.
57:00
And it's a real easy way to burn
57:01
out.
57:02
So some people need that intentional break
57:07
like that.
57:10
Last thing I just want to bring up
57:11
quickly,
57:11
I was watching Hiller and Friend that they
57:15
did yesterday about Rogue.
57:19
And they brought up this point about how
57:21
not backfilling the twentieth position for
57:23
the men.
57:25
And an interesting conversation came up
57:27
about,
57:29
is it so prestigious to be in that
57:31
twenty that if you can't find the right
57:34
person, it's better just to leave it open?
57:37
Because it means something to get that
57:39
invite and just to invite someone because
57:42
they can be there.
57:44
Shouldn't be enough to earn that prestige.
57:53
Yeah, I would agree to that.
57:56
People work their ass off to get the
57:58
road.
57:59
Like it's a big deal.
58:01
Carolyn's a perfect example she is pumped
58:04
like was super like over the moon excited
58:07
to be able to get there and she
58:09
earned her way there and she earned her
58:11
way there right so if oh somebody can't
58:13
make it well we'll just invite the next
58:16
person on down the line there's no next
58:17
person down the line like it's called the
58:19
invitational for a reason what prompted
58:22
the conversation is you know Jack Farlow's
58:24
probably there because Emma's there you
58:26
could just invite him over yeah
58:35
Seem is asking who's next in the
58:36
qualifier.
58:37
Lito says Reggie Faso was next in line
58:39
from the queue and he only lives a
58:41
few hours away.
58:42
So you could argue he was the perfect
58:44
person and earned his way there.
58:48
That is possible.
58:48
I just thought it was an interesting
58:50
concept to bring up and talk about.
58:51
Yeah.
58:53
Because we've already had a lot of
58:55
backfills because of injury.
58:58
Right.
59:01
Also, I think, and this is just me,
59:04
but if it's called the invitational,
59:06
right?
59:07
And yes, there is a qualifier for it,
59:08
but they only take so many people in
59:09
the qualifier.
59:10
Everybody else has to earn their points
59:11
all year to be able to make it
59:14
there.
59:14
So if you're going to call it an
59:16
invitational,
59:16
then they can invite whoever they want.
59:20
at the same time,
59:21
once the invites go out,
59:22
I think those are the invites.
59:23
Like, it's not like, Oh,
59:24
well the next person can't come.
59:25
Okay.
59:25
Well that's tough shit.
59:27
Like you didn't make it.
59:28
You didn't make it.
59:29
You got in,
59:29
these are the invitations and the
59:30
invitations are where they are.
59:32
And if you are one person short on
59:33
the twenty person field for the,
59:35
for the guys, then that's just how the,
59:38
how, how it works out.
59:39
Do better next time.
59:42
Yeah.
59:43
I don't,
59:44
and none of us know what happens behind
59:45
the scenes.
59:46
No, not at all.
59:47
Um,
59:49
And we also said we think Roman withdrew
59:52
way too late putting Rogue in a pickle.
1:00:00
Yeah.
1:00:01
Speaking of pickles,
1:00:01
my addiction is like off the chain.
1:00:03
I said that yesterday.
1:00:06
I am now like taking the empty pickle
1:00:08
jar and putting different vegetables into
1:00:11
it when it's done.
1:00:14
closing it back up,
1:00:14
putting it in the fridge.
1:00:16
So I have more pickling happening as I'm
1:00:19
eating the pickles.
1:00:23
There's somebody you can see about that,
1:00:25
or I don't know, man.
1:00:27
Like, what can we,
1:00:29
what can we carrots pickling?
1:00:30
I got cauliflower pickling.
1:00:33
I got green beans pickling.
1:00:37
pickle green beans are really really good
1:00:40
pickle carrots there's a mexican
1:00:41
restaurant in van rouge um that that was
1:00:43
one of the things they would bring you
1:00:45
like you know everybody sits chips and
1:00:46
salsa down but they would bring you these
1:00:49
marinated basically pickled carrots with
1:00:52
some peppers and uh and they're so good
1:00:55
yep so good um
1:00:59
If you have not,
1:01:00
so Meg says she has spicy pickles in
1:01:02
the fridge right now.
1:01:03
I have so many pickles in my fridge
1:01:05
right now.
1:01:05
I'm running out of space for food.
1:01:09
But have you ever tried a pickled
1:01:11
jalapeno?
1:01:12
Yeah.
1:01:14
Like a dill pickled jalapeno?
1:01:17
Oh, no.
1:01:18
I can't say I had that.
1:01:21
But, I mean, I definitely had.
1:01:22
Slapped them on a sandwich?
1:01:24
Oh, I bet.
1:01:26
A little spicy, a little dill?
1:01:28
Yep.
1:01:30
I'm mad at that.
1:01:32
I actually made my own muffalada this
1:01:33
week.
1:01:34
No, you didn't.
1:01:36
Shut up, dude.
1:01:39
They came to me outside the state of
1:01:41
Louisiana.
1:01:45
There's only one set of olive spread you
1:01:48
can get.
1:01:49
If the bread's not from one of three
1:01:52
bakeries in New Orleans,
1:01:54
then you're not making a muffalata.
1:01:55
Sorry.
1:01:57
I don't make the rules.
1:01:58
Those just are the rules.
1:01:59
You could call it a muffalata,
1:02:01
but it's not a muffalata.
1:02:05
I call it a muffalata.
1:02:07
I've had a muffalata in New Orleans,
1:02:09
and it was freaking awesome.
1:02:11
Was it from Central Grocery?
1:02:13
I have no idea, dude.
1:02:15
I got it at a restaurant down there.
1:02:19
I haven't been back in a while.
1:02:24
I don't like the butter chip pickles.
1:02:26
Bread and butter?
1:02:28
They're okay.
1:02:29
I'd rather have dill.
1:02:31
I like bread and butter on a sandwich.
1:02:34
Bread and butter with like on a hot
1:02:39
grilled ham and cheese sandwich, bro.
1:02:42
Choice.
1:02:43
This is quite the craving,
1:02:44
re-pickling other veggies.
1:02:47
I've done that before.
1:02:49
I'm laughing at you,
1:02:50
but I've one hundred percent done that
1:02:51
before.
1:02:51
Like get just a really good jar of
1:02:56
people.
1:02:56
You're like, man, that brine was really,
1:02:57
really good.
1:02:58
Brine's still sitting there.
1:02:59
It's perfectly fine.
1:02:59
You just throw some stuff in there and
1:03:01
call it good.
1:03:03
Meg says dill all the way.
1:03:04
Wouldn't wait to get to the editing room
1:03:06
to jazz me up.
1:03:08
I'm already jazzy.
