- 0:29What's going on everybody?
- 0:30Welcome to the Clydesdale
- 0:32Media Roundtable.
- 0:32We are here every Thursday
- 0:34afternoon at twelve fifteen
- 0:35and we've got half a
- 0:36Charlie and we've got Elf
- 0:38Cat with us today.
- 0:40Okay.
- 0:43I don't know how that happened.
- 0:44So, what's going on guys?
- 0:44New year.
- 0:49New cat with a hat.
- 0:51Yeah.
- 0:51I got,
- 0:53I went and got my car washed this
- 0:54morning and the old guy at the
- 0:57Car Wash was flirting with me.
- 1:00They spray down your car
- 1:01before you actually go in.
- 1:03And he motioned for me to
- 1:05put my window down.
- 1:06He's like, what does your hat say?
- 1:07And I was like, oh, it's William and Mary.
- 1:09My son goes there.
- 1:10And he's like, oh,
- 1:11I thought it was something.
- 1:12I didn't hear what he said.
- 1:13And then I rolled the window
- 1:14back up and he's doing some more.
- 1:15And then he's starting to talk to me.
- 1:16He's like, what's your birthday?
- 1:18I was like, what?
- 1:20And I was like, two, twenty,
- 1:21seventy three.
- 1:21I don't know why.
- 1:22Like, I felt like I had to tell him.
- 1:24He's like, June twenty seventh.
- 1:27And I was like, no.
- 1:28And then I like I went down.
- 1:29I was like, February twenty.
- 1:31He's like, two, twenty.
- 1:32I was like, yeah.
- 1:33He's like,
- 1:33I'm playing those numbers today.
- 1:36The lottery.
- 1:38I was like, okay.
- 1:40I have been with Amy when
- 1:41she divulges way too much
- 1:42information to strangers.
- 1:44And it sounds like you do the same thing.
- 1:47We need personal security
- 1:48for the two of you.
- 1:49Right?
- 1:49It's so funny.
- 1:53When you say that,
- 1:53I just pictured grownups, the movie,
- 1:56when they go,
- 1:57Kevin James goes to the car
- 1:59wash and the dudes are in
- 2:01like little bikinis and
- 2:02they're licking the window.
- 2:04Yeah.
- 2:06Yeah, it wasn't like that.
- 2:07It was cute.
- 2:08It's only having a cat.
- 2:10I hope he wins some money.
- 2:14That'd be cool.
- 2:14Yeah.
- 2:15To get hit on at the car wash.
- 2:18A man can dream.
- 2:19Maybe we'll win and give you half of it.
- 2:23That'd be cool.
- 2:25Because you probably gave me your address,
- 2:26too.
- 2:28I mean, he knows my license plate.
- 2:29That's about it.
- 2:31Security number.
- 2:34Yeah.
- 2:36Oh, wow.
- 2:37It just takes me back to that night with,
- 2:39with Amy at the,
- 2:41at the bar and she's
- 2:42getting hit on and she's giving this,
- 2:45she's being hit on by a
- 2:46woman and she's being,
- 2:47and she's giving her every
- 2:48detail of where we're staying,
- 2:50what room number.
- 2:51And I'm like, what are you doing?
- 2:54Yeah.
- 2:55I'm way too much of an open
- 2:56book sometimes.
- 2:57TMI.
- 3:01So we're in the new year.
- 3:04You guys setting any goals for the year?
- 3:08I'm prioritizing protein.
- 3:12That's the big New Year's goal?
- 3:15Eat more protein.
- 3:17And where are you at right
- 3:19now at noon today?
- 3:21Well, I just fried up some chicken wings,
- 3:25but I can't eat them for
- 3:26another forty minutes or so.
- 3:29And I've had a piece of
- 3:31tomato pie and three ricotta cookies.
- 3:36So not so good.
- 3:37Wait, wait.
- 3:38I have yet to prioritize the protein.
- 3:39Tomato pie.
- 3:41Yeah.
- 3:42You guys don't know what tomato pie is?
- 3:44no uh no so it's so tomato
- 3:48pie it's a town I mean it's
- 3:49like an italian thing and
- 3:50maybe it's an east coast
- 3:51thing but it's pizza
- 3:54without cheese it's just
- 3:55dough and sauce with like
- 3:57some sprinkled parmesan
- 3:59cheese and basil on top um
- 4:01it's usually served room
- 4:02temperature like as a appetizer
- 4:06like think of tailgates and stuff.
- 4:08They sell them at Costco and whatever,
- 4:09but they're really hard to
- 4:10come by and they're really
- 4:11hard to get good ones.
- 4:13So I called a whole bunch of
- 4:16pizza places on New Year's
- 4:17Day to see if I could find
- 4:20anybody that made tomato pie.
- 4:22Because a lot of times too,
- 4:23you have to order it in advance.
- 4:25And a couple of places that
- 4:26I call these like young
- 4:27kids answer the phone.
- 4:28I was like, do you have tomato pie?
- 4:29And they're like, um, what?
- 4:31I was like, you don't have it.
- 4:33If you don't know what I'm talking about,
- 4:34you don't have it.
- 4:35Uh, but I found it.
- 4:36Yeah, it's good.
- 4:39Okay.
- 4:40And this helps your protein.
- 4:41How?
- 4:41Yeah, exactly.
- 4:43No protein.
- 4:43It was leftover from yesterday.
- 4:47Um, so yeah,
- 4:48but chicken wings are on board.
- 4:50So that would be my protein for the day.
- 4:51And I did have some creatine
- 4:52choose earlier.
- 4:54There's protein in the ricotta.
- 4:56Maybe a little, a little bit.
- 4:58I'm sure it's offset by the sugar.
- 5:02So we're getting after it.
- 5:04I mean, as soon as the cookies are gone,
- 5:06I'll be good to go.
- 5:09Okay.
- 5:10Well,
- 5:11with Julie being down and out this year,
- 5:13we didn't make cookies,
- 5:14which has been awesome.
- 5:16Because I just don't want to eat them,
- 5:17right?
- 5:18Like, I don't need them in the house.
- 5:20And I did not miss them.
- 5:24That's good.
- 5:24So that was good.
- 5:26Well,
- 5:26I had chicken wings yesterday for my
- 5:28birthday at this new place
- 5:31called Shakers.
- 5:32Thank you.
- 5:34And they have these dry rubs
- 5:36that are very unique.
- 5:39They have like flaming hot Cheeto wings.
- 5:41And somebody is, oh, I think it's Amy.
- 5:47Trying to get in.
- 5:48We can hear her.
- 5:50And we can hear her.
- 5:51She is clicking a bunch.
- 5:54Or breathing hard.
- 5:56I'm going to mute her until
- 5:57she can get a picture or whatever.
- 6:01Oh, there's a car.
- 6:04That's why.
- 6:05Now she's, oh.
- 6:07I need to change the view here.
- 6:09She's doing, oh, not that one.
- 6:12Nope.
- 6:13Nope.
- 6:14Oh, come on.
- 6:17She's off now.
- 6:18there we go surprise now
- 6:21I'll see if we I'm gonna
- 6:24unmute her I can't unmute
- 6:26her okay all right anyway
- 6:29but they have these flaming
- 6:30hot veto wings that are
- 6:32that were pretty good but I
- 6:34I've I've learned that like
- 6:36I like a wet wing like if
- 6:39it's not a sauce on it like I'm just not
- 6:43that into it.
- 6:44And they had this Grippo potato chip wing,
- 6:46which is a local potato chip company.
- 6:49And it's the seasoning they
- 6:50put on their barbecue.
- 6:53The dry rubs don't do it for me.
- 6:56Is this by your house?
- 6:58What's that?
- 6:59Is this place by your house?
- 7:00It is.
- 7:02It's on Wilson Bridge.
- 7:07Shaker.
- 7:07So you recommend...
- 7:08You don't recommend?
- 7:09I highly recommend.
- 7:11Their original buffalo sauce
- 7:12was perfection.
- 7:13See, I'm the opposite.
- 7:15I like a good dry rub.
- 7:18Amy, how could you?
- 7:25No, thank you.
- 7:25She's an incubator on the inside.
- 7:28On my chicken wings, guys.
- 7:29On your what?
- 7:37So, yeah, that was it.
- 7:38Then we got a soft pretzel,
- 7:40which is one of my other favorite foods.
- 7:41And it was like the size, like,
- 7:44and it was great.
- 7:45It was, again, perfection.
- 7:47It was really good food.
- 7:49I just don't care for a dry rub.
- 7:50Can you dip it in beer cheese,
- 7:53the pretzel?
- 7:54So it came with beer cheese
- 7:55and honey mustard.
- 7:56Okay, beer cheese.
- 7:59Beer cheese is my favorite.
- 8:01You got to get her protein, Annie.
- 8:02You got to get the beer cheese.
- 8:03Yes, I got it.
- 8:09Oh, the comments.
- 8:10Hey, when's Julie's surgery?
- 8:15Julie's surgery is Monday.
- 8:18Okay.
- 8:19When's your thing?
- 8:19Tomorrow?
- 8:20Tomorrow.
- 8:22Get shocked back into rhythm
- 8:24tomorrow and then start the
- 8:26new medication tomorrow afternoon.
- 8:29If you want to save a buck,
- 8:31I've got a taser.
- 8:31I could come over and shock
- 8:32her right back in.
- 8:36I think I will pass on the
- 8:37taser okay well if you just
- 8:38know that it's available
- 8:43this is the second time
- 8:44I've had it done so I am
- 8:45prepared with some aloe
- 8:46this time because the burn
- 8:47mark from the shock on my
- 8:49chest uh was almost
- 8:51unbearable last time uh so
- 8:55so aloe's gonna oh help the
- 8:57burn I got it helps the burn yeah
- 9:04You'd think they'd have
- 9:05something to prevent that from happening.
- 9:08Happy anniversary, Jake, I guess.
- 9:12Yeah.
- 9:14A hundred percent.
- 9:15Where is the C-five percent?
- 9:23There.
- 9:24Your neck.
- 9:25Cervical.
- 9:26Neck.
- 9:31yeah um do you guys watch
- 9:33the I I know amy did watch
- 9:36the football games
- 9:36yesterday um oh yeah we
- 9:39started off with an amazing
- 9:41game but then the other
- 9:43game was so bad we were on
- 9:44a texturing talking about
- 9:45alternate broadcasts
- 9:49And so we had switched over
- 9:50to the Pat McAfee broadcast
- 9:52of the Ohio State Oregon game.
- 9:53Fantastic.
- 9:54And then Amy pointed us out
- 9:56to the local TV station here in Columbus,
- 10:01turned over their Facebook
- 10:02page to a Homer fan who
- 10:06apparently was allowed to
- 10:07say whatever he wanted to
- 10:08say about the game.
- 10:09Play by play.
- 10:14It was insane.
- 10:17they wrote today, they said, hey, Austin,
- 10:20let's chat.
- 10:21Nice.
- 10:24Getting ready for the cotton ball.
- 10:26I'm going to find out who that was.
- 10:29Well,
- 10:29I wrote on there to reveal yourself
- 10:31and they said, not yet.
- 10:35Well, I may know a guy that can find out.
- 10:38Yeah,
- 10:38find out and tell us on the back end
- 10:41here.
- 10:44Yeah, but it was great.
- 10:45And the McAfee broadcast in
- 10:47a blowout game was way
- 10:48better than the traditional
- 10:50broadcast because they
- 10:52added a lot of levity to
- 10:53the whole situation.
- 10:55Commenting on the fans,
- 10:56commenting on the
- 10:57celebrities on the sideline.
- 11:00Where else do you get a
- 11:01play-by-play announcer going, holy hell!
- 11:03He's wide-ass open!
- 11:11So that was great.
- 11:13But now we're hopefully on a
- 11:15collision course for a Penn State,
- 11:17Ohio State National Championship.
- 11:18You don't want that.
- 11:21I want every bit of that.
- 11:23You don't want that.
- 11:27The way they're playing,
- 11:28there's no chance.
- 11:32They can't keep up this
- 11:33level for this many weeks.
- 11:34You got to get through my Irish first,
- 11:36and then...
- 11:39Well, the Irish,
- 11:40we don't even know if
- 11:41they're going to face Penn State yet.
- 11:42They have to play a game today.
- 11:43That's just a minor step.
- 11:50Okay.
- 11:50I actually picked Notre Dame
- 11:51to win yesterday on the lunch show.
- 11:53And it's pretty much a pick-em.
- 11:56It's a one-point underdog, right?
- 11:58Yeah.
- 11:58Yeah.
- 12:04Have football on today at four o'clock.
- 12:05That'll be fun.
- 12:06Yeah.
- 12:06Yeah.
- 12:09But one thing I wanted to
- 12:10ask you guys about the
- 12:11CrossFit space is Carrie
- 12:15calling it a career.
- 12:19She did her first podcast
- 12:21with us way back in the day,
- 12:23thanks to Kat setting that up.
- 12:28We've known her since she
- 12:29started this thing.
- 12:30Thoughts on her retiring at, what,
- 12:32twenty two years old?
- 12:39I think when you compete at
- 12:40so young at such a high
- 12:42level and it's not fulfilling her,
- 12:45I think it's a great thing
- 12:47for her to change her mind now and do it,
- 12:52do what you, live your life, you know?
- 12:54Yeah, I don't think it's, I mean,
- 12:59she went through so much
- 13:01outside of just working out.
- 13:02It seemed like it took a toll.
- 13:07Well,
- 13:08I think we knew something was going
- 13:11to happen when she went to Brute.
- 13:13Because she's just not built
- 13:16the same as some of the
- 13:17other girls in that sport
- 13:20in terms of character.
- 13:24Yeah, but she was not in Florida.
- 13:28Okay.
- 13:31But she was with Torres
- 13:32since the beginning.
- 13:33Correct.
- 13:34I think that experience in Florida...
- 13:37sort of had to have been a
- 13:40major culture shock for her.
- 13:42And it probably forced her
- 13:43to reevaluate some things, perhaps.
- 13:48And again, I'm just guessing, but man,
- 13:50that had to have been a
- 13:52different experience for her.
- 13:56Yeah,
- 13:57I think her being roommates with
- 13:59Olivia Sulik had a lot to do with it.
- 14:00As she was on kind of a
- 14:02similar journey as Emma, it just,
- 14:05Olivia was quicker to it than Emma.
- 14:11And I also think that she
- 14:12got hurt a lot early on
- 14:14because she would go to that dark space.
- 14:18Yeah, she had no brakes.
- 14:20And she was injured a lot young.
- 14:23And that has to take a toll too.
- 14:24Yep.
- 14:26We've all sustained injuries
- 14:28in just recreational
- 14:29CrossFit and know how
- 14:31depressing that can be.
- 14:37Yeah.
- 14:39I mean, it wasn't surprising.
- 14:40I wasn't that surprised when she finally,
- 14:43you know,
- 14:43came out with it because we just
- 14:44hadn't been hearing from her for a while.
- 14:45And I, you know,
- 14:47obviously we wish her
- 14:48nothing but the best.
- 14:53Yeah.
- 14:53She was a great kid.
- 14:55It was great getting to know her,
- 14:56her family.
- 15:00Yeah, her dad.
- 15:01And I'll miss covering her,
- 15:03but I'm happy that she's happy.
- 15:06Yeah,
- 15:06I'll always remember her mom calling
- 15:07her sis.
- 15:08Come on, sis.
- 15:08Let's go, sis.
- 15:08Yeah.
- 15:14And her dad was a wreck at the games.
- 15:16Oh, my gosh.
- 15:17Yep.
- 15:18Oh my gosh.
- 15:19And yes,
- 15:20Andrew is correct that that started.
- 15:23I still blame Andrew Sten for all of it.
- 15:25That was the downhill right there.
- 15:27Those lunges.
- 15:31Cost her the victory.
- 15:34And so Emma's decline was
- 15:36Ariel Lowen's gain.
- 15:38All because of Andrew Sten.
- 15:45There's going to be a
- 15:45documentary right there.
- 15:47The man that changed CrossFit.
- 15:48The man that... Andrew Stanton.
- 15:51Andrew Stanton.
- 15:52And the changed CrossFit.
- 15:54Charlie, did you work out today?
- 15:55I did.
- 15:56Okay.
- 15:59I was... Amy's nodding.
- 16:02Because we're holding each
- 16:04other accountable,
- 16:04so I check in and make sure he works out.
- 16:06Awesome.
- 16:08And she tried not to today,
- 16:09and I made her come.
- 16:11No, no, no.
- 16:11I was there.
- 16:12I was going to do it.
- 16:13I was just saying,
- 16:14I'm not sure about myself.
- 16:21We had deadlifts.
- 16:23And then I crushed it, so it was all good.
- 16:25Well, mass moves mass, so.
- 16:27That's what I told him.
- 16:28I said, hey, I'm pretty fit for a fatty.
- 16:36Wow.
- 16:37We're in debulking season right now.
- 16:39We're trying to debulk.
- 16:39I hear you.
- 16:42Getting out of a big girl
- 16:43winter and trying to go
- 16:45into debulking season.
- 16:48Yeah.
- 16:52Do you guys have any goals for the year?
- 16:54To stay consistent.
- 17:01Charlie,
- 17:02you missed the cat was the protein,
- 17:05but she hasn't started
- 17:06today and it's four o'clock
- 17:08in the afternoon.
- 17:10Didn't say how much she just said, eat it.
- 17:14Prioritize focused on it.
- 17:16I just want to be able to
- 17:16touch my toes by Jen.
- 17:17That'd be great.
- 17:20Yeah, Charlie has a mobility goal, right?
- 17:24I do.
- 17:26Stand up on a stand-up paddleboard.
- 17:27Oh, cool.
- 17:30Could not get the right leg
- 17:33to go where it needed to go.
- 17:34Wow.
- 17:38And then I saw a stingray, and I said,
- 17:41you should just stab me, bro,
- 17:42because I feel like a goof out here.
- 17:48So the real question is,
- 17:50did you look like Easy
- 17:51Muhammad in the middle of
- 17:52the Pacific Ocean at the games?
- 17:56Did not.
- 17:56I was still good on my knees.
- 17:59Pause.
- 18:00But it hurts to sit for an
- 18:05hour in that position.
- 18:11Well,
- 18:11I do have one goal and that is I'm
- 18:14probably going to
- 18:15incorporate a lot more like
- 18:16step ups and that kind of
- 18:17stuff because I just booked
- 18:21my trip for our twenty
- 18:23fifth wedding anniversary.

- 18:32which is the Canadian Rocky Mountains.

- 19:35Jake Chapman recapped Charlie's goal.
- 19:38Good on his knees wants to
- 19:39learn how to touch his toes.
- 19:41Yep.
- 19:41Yeah.
- 19:41Okay.
- 19:49How about you, Scott?
- 19:54I'm pausing my goal setting
- 19:55until after I get my wife through surgery,
- 19:59because that has been my goal.
- 20:01Me to get my heart back and
- 20:03my wife to get her knee.
- 20:05And then after that,
- 20:06I'll sit down and write out
- 20:07some goals from that point forward.
- 20:10That has been my sole focus right now.
- 20:14Sure.
- 20:14You can set the goal, but not start it.
- 20:18Well,
- 20:20I've been doing really well on my
- 20:21goals this year anyway.
- 20:22I'm really happy where I'm at,
- 20:24and I want to kind of keep those going.
- 20:26But I want to get more
- 20:27specific with the goals,
- 20:28and I'll sit down and do that.
- 20:34Okay.
- 20:37So, yeah.
- 20:37So I do have a little bit of a rant.
- 20:42Oh, boy.
- 20:42Let's go.
- 20:43Will you guys appease me on that?
- 20:43Of course.
- 20:44I'm going to meet you in a minute.
- 20:52my um so I was I was
- 20:57watching peter's show
- 20:58yesterday around the
- 20:59whiteboard and I watched
- 21:02the spin last night and I
- 21:05wanted to talk about I I
- 21:07they were talking a lot
- 21:08about the wfp and like is
- 21:12it is it intruding on the
- 21:13crossfit game season is it
- 21:15not um and and really I
- 21:18felt like they were picking it apart
- 21:21And what I want to say about
- 21:22this is since Greg
- 21:26dismantled the media
- 21:27department and changed what
- 21:28the CrossFit Games were in
- 21:29two thousand seventeen or eighteen,
- 21:31whatever it was.
- 21:33Um,
- 21:33we have been bitching nonstop about
- 21:36CrossFit changing the season every year,
- 21:39not knowing what the athletes are in,
- 21:42are in for.
- 21:43We don't,
- 21:44we can't even plan the season out
- 21:45because they,
- 21:46they don't announce anything
- 21:48that we can't even tell the story.
- 21:49It's not easy to tell our friends, Hey,
- 21:51this is a CrossFit game season.
- 21:53You got to go through this stage.
- 21:55And then if then else you do that, this,
- 21:58the other, um,
- 21:59And again,
- 22:00this year they've done the same thing.
- 22:01They've gone back to like,
- 22:03Open, if you're one of the top fourteen,
- 22:06you go to the games or you go,
- 22:07I don't know,
- 22:08top one percent go to semifinals.
- 22:10Then you have two different
- 22:11kinds of semifinals from that point.
- 22:13You get to choose whether
- 22:14you want to do it online or
- 22:15you want to do it in person.
- 22:17And we have nine events,
- 22:18but we don't really know
- 22:19what the rules are for
- 22:20those nine events because
- 22:21we've handed it over to
- 22:22other people and blah, blah, blah.
- 22:24So in comes the WFP,
- 22:26which actually has a set
- 22:29schedule for the season.
- 22:33Event one, earn points.
- 22:35Event two, earn points.
- 22:36Top thirty go to the finals
- 22:39and battle it out to see
- 22:40who the top thirty people
- 22:42are in the world.
- 22:45Everybody's pissing on it,
- 22:47and it's the first thing to
- 22:48make sense in years.
- 22:56Everybody wants to know
- 22:56where's the money coming from.
- 22:58Do they have enough money to withstand?
- 23:00Who the hell cares at this point?
- 23:02Give them an opportunity to
- 23:03show what they can do.
- 23:04Maybe this thing is a success.
- 23:07Maybe it's not a success,
- 23:08but maybe it pushes
- 23:09CrossFit to change and
- 23:11create a season that makes
- 23:12sense like they did.
- 23:16I'm just I'm really getting
- 23:18like irritated about
- 23:21everybody just kind of picking it apart.
- 23:24This is wrong.
- 23:24This is in twenty six.
- 23:26They're going to go to an
- 23:27exclusive country.
- 23:28We're not even in twenty six.
- 23:29We haven't even started twenty five yet.
- 23:33And then one of the big
- 23:36things that people are
- 23:37picking apart is that like
- 23:39Rogue is in November and
- 23:41the finals are in December.
- 23:43The athletes can't recover
- 23:44in time to do both.
- 23:46So they're going to have to
- 23:47pick between Rogue and the championships.
- 23:50And this is directly to the athletes.
- 23:52If you want to be a
- 23:53professional athlete and
- 23:54you want to make as much
- 23:56money as possible and have
- 23:57the opportunities you want,
- 23:58you need to change the way you train.
- 24:00Yep.
- 24:04You need the NFL plays every Sunday.
- 24:06And those guys are beat up
- 24:08and banged up every single week.
- 24:10And either they can perform
- 24:12the next week or they can't.
- 24:18But what the athletes,
- 24:19and Dallin actually did say this,
- 24:21he needs to train smarter.
- 24:23If he's going to do both of these things,
- 24:25he needs to train smarter.
- 24:28We don't need to fit the
- 24:29square peg in the round hole.
- 24:30Maybe both things need to
- 24:31change into an oval.
- 24:36Maybe the season changes,
- 24:37and maybe the athletes
- 24:38change the way they train
- 24:39and adapt themselves for this new season.
- 24:43And you're not going to be
- 24:44peaked for everything.
- 24:46this whole idea of peaking
- 24:47for one CrossFit Games is
- 24:51maybe out the window for now.
- 24:54And maybe you need to be more of a steady,
- 24:57consistent peak for a
- 24:59season-long tournament as
- 25:02opposed to one event.
- 25:08That's the gist of my rant, my riff.
- 25:11Yeah, and I actually liked,
- 25:12somebody made a comment,
- 25:13I forget who it was,
- 25:14it said something about
- 25:16you know, if you win the CrossFit Games,
- 25:18you're the fittest that day, right?
- 25:22But if you're winning this WFP thing,
- 25:25you know,
- 25:26it means that you've proven
- 25:27yourself over the course of
- 25:29time and with points and everything else.
- 25:31Like the argument,
- 25:33I don't know if this was their argument,
- 25:34but what I got from it is that, you know,
- 25:37that WFP might become more
- 25:38of a legitimate title even, you know,
- 25:42than CrossFit.
- 25:43the CrossFit Games winner.
- 25:44Because like you said,
- 25:46you have to be fit that
- 25:47weekend and that's your only opportunity.
- 25:49You know, we start from zero.
- 25:50So yeah, I agree with you, Scott.
- 25:53I think people, I mean,
- 25:56people need content.
- 25:58And so if new things are coming out, it's,
- 26:00you know,
- 26:00it makes sense that they can
- 26:01nitpick it and try to tear it apart.
- 26:04And I think that's just kind
- 26:05of the nature of, unfortunately,
- 26:07the nature of some of the
- 26:08media in our space is that, you know,
- 26:12trying to,
- 26:14use your intelligence for criticism,
- 26:17I guess.
- 26:20Well,
- 26:20one of the big examples that we're
- 26:21using is may is,
- 26:23is rumored to be one of the
- 26:25first WFP tour event.
- 26:28It's also a month that is
- 26:30heavy in in-person semifinals.
- 26:33So people are going to,
- 26:35if they want to do the French throwdown,
- 26:36it's going to butt right up
- 26:37against world tour event one.
- 26:42Well,
- 26:42maybe you have to make a choice that
- 26:44you need to qualify another
- 26:45way than the French
- 26:46throwdown if you're in the
- 26:48WFP tour event.
- 26:50Or make it so that you are
- 26:55able to sustain that
- 26:56fitness over the two events.
- 27:04Yeah, I know what you're saying.
- 27:11I mean, I think.
- 27:12And we don't know.
- 27:13I think we need to try it out.
- 27:14Let's see what happens.
- 27:17And in no way am I, like,
- 27:18I'm still going to watch
- 27:19the CrossFit game season.
- 27:20I'm still going to attend semifinals.
- 27:23I'm still doing all that stuff.
- 27:24But why can't we watch both
- 27:26play out and see how it works?
- 27:30And again,
- 27:31we've been bitching about this
- 27:32since two thousand eighteen.
- 27:33Someone stepped up and is
- 27:34trying to fix all those issues.
- 27:37And maybe they succeed.
- 27:38Maybe they don't.
- 27:39But at least they're trying.
- 27:42Right.
- 27:43I'm with you because what's the point?
- 27:45We don't know that it's
- 27:46going to be a problem, right?
- 27:49And what if it becomes a huge success?
- 27:51And what if, like CrossFit,
- 27:53we've been talking all
- 27:54along about separating
- 27:55sport from methodology,
- 27:57and maybe CrossFit sells
- 27:58the rights to the games to WFP,
- 28:01and now that becomes the CrossFit Games.
- 28:03That's a possibility.
- 28:06I think, yeah, I think there's...
- 28:08So it's funny because last
- 28:10night on the spin, John Young kept saying,
- 28:12maybe they get so
- 28:13successful that CrossFit
- 28:15wants to partner with them
- 28:17and they can hold the games
- 28:19and the qualification of the games.
- 28:21And I'm thinking, if they're so successful,
- 28:23why the hell do they want
- 28:24the CrossFit games?
- 28:25They won't hate them.
- 28:27No.
- 28:30Why add on that extra
- 28:30expense of buying the name
- 28:32or buying whatever if
- 28:33you're already successful?
- 28:35Now,
- 28:35if you're on the way up and there's a
- 28:37forethought that both
- 28:39things are going to be successful,
- 28:40maybe you merge like Liv and the PGA.
- 28:46But it is possible that they
- 28:49become successful and don't
- 28:51need the CrossFit Games.
- 28:52It's a Diet Coke.
- 28:57Sorry.
- 28:57That's worse.
- 28:58Yeah.
- 28:59Yeah, I don't know about that,
- 29:00but I don't drink beer.
- 29:02So see, Kat's already anti CrossFit.
- 29:04She's drinking a cup.
- 29:05It's a Diet Coke.
- 29:09There's protein in there somewhere.
- 29:10Protein Charlie.
- 29:12Yeah, Scott, you make a good point.
- 29:18For sure.
- 29:20CrossFit guys have content.
- 29:22What happens when one event
- 29:24becomes like bowl games
- 29:25where all the talent decides to opt out?
- 29:26Yeah, that's good.
- 29:30We have to see what happens
- 29:31with all that and which
- 29:32direction does it go?
- 29:35I keep seeing these people
- 29:36go to High Rocks.
- 29:37It's weird to me.
- 29:40They're not going to High Rocks.
- 29:41They're just doing a High Rocks.
- 29:43What's the difference?
- 29:46And we've been talking about
- 29:47that on the Sunday night show, like...
- 29:49Why doesn't CrossFit do a
- 29:50community event like that
- 29:51that is a very CrossFit-based workout?
- 29:54You know, at Waterpalooza,
- 29:55they have the gauntlet,
- 29:56which is a one-hour
- 29:57waterfall workout where you
- 29:59do one thing into the next into the next.
- 30:01CrossFit could make that a traveling show,
- 30:03a community event,
- 30:05charge just like you would
- 30:06go to a five K or a half
- 30:09marathon or whatever.
- 30:13That'd be great revenue streams.
- 30:16CrossFit does not explore
- 30:18alternative revenue streams.
- 30:20They have one way of making money,
- 30:21and if it works, great, and if it doesn't,
- 30:23they cry broke.
- 30:29They're not going outside
- 30:29the box to try anything new
- 30:31to make money.
- 30:34Well, is the games even a revenue stream?
- 30:36I thought it was more of
- 30:37like an expense stream.
- 30:39Like they get all their
- 30:40money from the affiliates.
- 30:42So I look at it as the season,
- 30:45the open is the revenue stream, right?
- 30:49And then you, when there was quarterfinals,
- 30:51you paid for that semifinals,
- 30:52you have to pay to do that.
- 30:54So they are,
- 30:55the revenue stream is the
- 30:56athletes paying the money.
- 30:59Yeah.
- 31:01And then they do sell some,
- 31:02they sell out the games every year.
- 31:04So they sell those tickets.
- 31:07Um, but
- 31:12So yeah, I don't know.
- 31:15I, I, it,
- 31:16that frustrates me from a
- 31:17business sense that they
- 31:18never try other revenue streams,
- 31:25but that's, that's, and I guess,
- 31:28and I guess when Greg founded it,
- 31:29he wasn't looking at it that way,
- 31:32you know,
- 31:32and he still doesn't look at it that way.
- 31:33I don't think his,
- 31:34his methodology is more of
- 31:36just trying to get the word
- 31:37out and less of a business, more of a,
- 31:41lifestyle but craig's been
- 31:42gone for five years now
- 31:44yeah well nobody's really
- 31:47taking his place when you
- 31:48think about it I don't care
- 31:53I have a question this is
- 31:55not crossword related are
- 31:56we okay to switch gears for
- 31:57a second or do you want to
- 31:58make some more sure points
- 32:02um I just wanted to have
- 32:03that discussion and get
- 32:04feedback from the audience and you guys
- 32:08Yeah,
- 32:08you make some really good points and
- 32:09I'm just excited to see it all.
- 32:11I want to see athletes compete.
- 32:12I want to see CrossFit happen.
- 32:15So I don't really care where
- 32:17it is or what form it takes.
- 32:21Landmine.
- 32:23Can we talk landmine, please?
- 32:24Landman?
- 32:25Landman.
- 32:26The show?
- 32:29Yes.
- 32:30Okay.
- 32:32All right,
- 32:32so Mike and I started watching
- 32:33it less than a week ago.
- 32:35We're already up to where
- 32:36we're waiting for Sunday's episode.
- 32:38First of all, what time is the episode?
- 32:42Or is it just start that day
- 32:43and I can watch it?
- 32:44It gets released on Sunday.
- 32:46I don't know what time it gets released.
- 32:48Okay,
- 32:48so it's not like on live television
- 32:50anywhere.
- 32:50It's just out there for streaming.
- 32:52Cool.
- 32:54Number two.
- 32:56Did anyone catch...
- 33:01Sorry.
- 33:01This is spoiler alert if
- 33:02you've already seen it.
- 33:04Pause your, mute your phone.
- 33:08When she gets divorced from Victor,
- 33:12he's paying child support
- 33:15for Ainsley and he has a letter for her.
- 33:18Now,
- 33:19I thought that Tommy was Ainsley's dad.
- 33:23Are we going to find out
- 33:24that Victor is really Ainsley's dad?
- 33:28Did you even catch that during that scene?
- 33:32I did, but she,
- 33:35I don't think that that's the case.
- 33:37Why would Victor be paying
- 33:38child support for Ainsley
- 33:40and why would he leave a
- 33:41letter for Ainsley?
- 33:43I think because Ainsley was
- 33:45living with him.
- 33:46Okay.
- 33:47There may have been like a
- 33:49custody adoption type thing
- 33:51that happened.
- 33:53Like the big secret is Tommy
- 33:56at one point was rich and
- 33:58had made it in the oil business, right?
- 34:00And lost it all.
- 34:01We know that much.
- 34:03Yes.
- 34:04But we don't know the story behind that.
- 34:06And we don't know what
- 34:07happened during that story
- 34:10that led us to where we are today.
- 34:12And I'm thinking a part of
- 34:13that big whatever happened
- 34:18there will explain some of that.
- 34:21yeah okay I just I wanted to
- 34:23go on record saying that I
- 34:24I caught that and I don't
- 34:26know if it's going to come
- 34:26back up or not but I know
- 34:29tommy would be just
- 34:30devastated if he found out
- 34:31that ainsley wasn't his
- 34:32daughter I don't think she
- 34:35was with victor then yeah I
- 34:38think this marriage was
- 34:39shorter than that okay and
- 34:43it seems like well I mean I
- 34:45don't know I mean who knows but
- 34:48but Cooper and her would
- 34:49definitely live together as
- 34:50brother and sister and they act like it.
- 34:52Yeah.
- 34:56So I feel like,
- 34:57I feel like there's
- 34:58something there too that we
- 34:59don't know about.
- 35:01Uh, Jody Lynn,
- 35:02I watched four episodes last night.
- 35:03Tough to watch my beloved
- 35:04Brooke Wyndham from Legally Blonde, uh,
- 35:07in this role.
- 35:12I see her from Varsity Blues.
- 35:15yeah I remember her from
- 35:16friday night lights or
- 35:17whatever that yeah varsity
- 35:18was she's it's the same
- 35:19character she is so off the
- 35:23rails but so good at being
- 35:25off the rails yes and and
- 35:29can we talk about how old
- 35:30the actress is that plays
- 35:31seventeen-year-old ansley
- 35:33she's I think I read she's
- 35:35twenty nine right
- 35:36I heard twenty-seven,
- 35:38but definitely not seventeen.
- 35:39That makes it a lot better.
- 35:41Are we talking about landmine?
- 35:43What are we talking about?
- 35:44Landmine.
- 35:47I always say landmine.
- 35:49Kat just said it too.
- 35:50Okay.
- 35:52You two really are twins.
- 35:55Right?
- 35:55Of all things.
- 35:58Yeah, it's so good.
- 35:59I really enjoy it.
- 36:00But it is really must watch
- 36:01for is one of the few must watch where,
- 36:04like every Sunday I am
- 36:05jumping at the chance to watch it.
- 36:07Yeah, it's really good.
- 36:10And there couldn't have been
- 36:11a more perfect part written
- 36:13for Billy Bob Thornton.
- 36:14Correct.
- 36:15I've heard that I've heard
- 36:16he's the best part.
- 36:18Like, best person for the part.
- 36:21He said, Well,
- 36:21the writing is the writing
- 36:22is just so good.
- 36:25I I watched um this tv
- 36:27critic show on the ringer
- 36:28and they were saying that
- 36:29like this show is
- 36:32everything taylor shared
- 36:34and learned from
- 36:35yellowstone and lioness and
- 36:38all that and he put it all
- 36:39into this one show and got
- 36:41it dead on yeah that's
- 36:42really good lioness is
- 36:44great too yeah I have to
- 36:45start that one it is
- 36:49I'll probably call it something else.
- 36:51I wouldn't put it as great.
- 36:57We'll call it The Lion's Den.
- 37:00What are we calling it?
- 37:01Not Lion's Den.
- 37:02Because we started watching Mufasa too,
- 37:07but didn't get through much
- 37:08of it before we switched.
- 37:12The Lion's Den?
- 37:14Yeah.
- 37:15I was going to say, I put Lioness...
- 37:18As great, but not as great as Landman.
- 37:20Well, no.
- 37:21There's definitely some plot holes,
- 37:23but the action is incredible.
- 37:24Yes.
- 37:25So you've never seen Yellowstone, right?
- 37:27I have.
- 37:28I just have not seen the final season.
- 37:30Oh, got it.
- 37:31I don't have the Paramount
- 37:32Network to be able to get it.
- 37:33Got it.
- 37:36They shouldn't do it this way.
- 37:38So I have to wait for it to
- 37:39come to Peacock so I can
- 37:42watch the final season.
- 37:43Got it, got it.
- 37:46Okay.
- 37:46CrossFit says you should call it Tigress.
- 37:52Well,
- 37:53and Jay Birch had recommended that I
- 37:55start Sons of Anarchy.
- 37:57Yes, that is good too.
- 37:59And so I just started that
- 38:01and I've never seen it.
- 38:02Oh, that is great.
- 38:05It starts off with a bang.
- 38:08I don't even remember,
- 38:08but I remember what it started off with,
- 38:10but I know it's good.
- 38:12My middle son is named after
- 38:13the main character.
- 38:15Oh, is he?
- 38:16Really?
- 38:17Yes.
- 38:18I did.
- 38:18Listen, I'm not into blondes,
- 38:20but I was into that one.
- 38:22His mother was too, so.
- 38:30I was just surprised how
- 38:33ruthless Peg Bundy was.
- 38:35I was going to say,
- 38:36Katie Segal is pretty awesome in there.
- 38:42I know jody says stop
- 38:44recommending shows I've got
- 38:45two years worth at this
- 38:46point charles accents not
- 38:52mine he's talking about
- 38:53charlie hano trained to
- 38:54live says so if so far I
- 38:55think lioness is better
- 38:56done with it like five
- 38:57episodes into land man oh
- 38:58got it sorry okay I think
- 39:01it would be taste like
- 39:02lioness is definitely like
- 39:04full-on military
- 39:07badass action.
- 39:10Landman is not a ton of action.
- 39:11It is more a dialogue driven show.
- 39:16But how they dealt with the
- 39:17drug dealers on the last
- 39:18episode was freaking awesome.
- 39:20Yeah.
- 39:21How he deals with them all the time.
- 39:23It amazes me.
- 39:26Yeah.
- 39:26Balls of steel.
- 39:27That lawyer, I'm not a fan of.
- 39:31I liked her at first.
- 39:33I liked her at first too.
- 39:34I did not like her in the last episode.
- 39:37You know,
- 39:37there's another good show coming back.
- 39:40Dexter.
- 39:43It's already out.
- 39:44Oh, okay.
- 39:45I haven't started it.
- 39:47I haven't started it.
- 39:48I've never watched Dexter.
- 39:49Oh, it was pretty good.
- 39:51Last season you could go without.
- 39:53Yeah, agreed.
- 39:58Oh, I don't know.
- 39:58Is it a Macbeth inspired story?
- 40:00That's interesting to look into.
- 40:02I don't know.
- 40:07I'm only I'm only like two
- 40:08or three episodes in so I
- 40:13have to watch a little more
- 40:14and with that in my mind
- 40:16that's interesting oh cool
- 40:22um the other show that's
- 40:23back that I liked but I
- 40:24have not liked this season
- 40:26very much on that have you
- 40:29watched that so it's uh
- 40:33dawson's creek girl what's her uh
- 40:40Katie Holmes?
- 40:41Katie Holmes.
- 40:42No, is it?
- 40:45I don't know.
- 40:47I don't know.
- 40:50But anyway,
- 40:51she's a diplomat to the UK and
- 40:57they're trying her out to
- 40:58be vice president.
- 41:00But shit goes wrong the
- 41:02minute she steps into the UK.
- 41:05The first season was really good.
- 41:06The second season,
- 41:07I'm just not getting it.
- 41:09But
- 41:10I don't know how you can
- 41:10watch multiple shows at once.
- 41:12I cannot do that.
- 41:12I can do a movie every once
- 41:14in a while in between shows, but I cannot,
- 41:18I can't go back and forth.
- 41:20Cross that said bad monkey
- 41:21and shrinking are good.
- 41:23Uh, really good.
- 41:24Shrinking is my favorite show of the year.
- 41:27Shrinking is very good.
- 41:28Shrinking is very good.
- 41:32I think shrinking is perfection.
- 41:34Bad monkey's good if you
- 41:35like Vince Vaughn being Vince Vaughn.
- 41:37Yes.
- 41:39And surprise ending.
- 41:41Big twist at the end.
- 41:44Isn't Vince Vaughn an Ohio State fan?
- 41:47No.
- 41:47He's a Chicago Bears fan.
- 41:49He's a Notre Dame fan.
- 41:51I think he's an Ohio State fan.
- 41:53I think he's a Notre Dame fan.
- 41:54He was in Rudy.
- 41:55Well, you know,
- 41:56LeBron James is a big Ohio State fan.
- 41:59Let's just throw that out there.
- 42:00How does an Ohio State?
- 42:01What?
- 42:05Why does it always come back
- 42:06to Ohio State?
- 42:07Because that's what we need
- 42:09to be talking about on the show.
- 42:14Do we find out what happened
- 42:15to that defensive player
- 42:19that stepped on the ankle
- 42:20of the guy at the college game?
- 42:25The hundred pound guy
- 42:26stomped on the ankle of the other kid.
- 42:28You didn't hear that?
- 42:31Which game are we talking about?
- 42:33I don't know.
- 42:33It was a college game
- 42:34sometime in the vortex that
- 42:37has been the last week.
- 42:39You realize we're in bowl season.
- 42:40There's like eight games a day.
- 42:42I know, but it was all over the internet.
- 42:44I forget the guy's name.
- 42:46It was not on my internet.
- 42:48Alabama, maybe?
- 42:50Alabama game?
- 42:51If it was against Michigan,
- 42:53they deserved it.
- 42:55And people were saying all
- 42:56kinds of things like he should be banned.
- 42:58NCAA's not doing anything about it.
- 42:59Blah, blah, blah.
