  What is going on?
• 0:05
  Her face.
• 0:06
  It is the Clydesdale media round table.
• 0:11
  Um, we're trying this with no opening and it's gone swimmingly already.
• 0:16
  So here we are live.
• 0:18
  Uh, we're here to just chat and maybe talk a little bit about water Palooza.
• 0:27
  So
• 0:29
  man it is freaking cold and cory has already jumped in the chat he's in louisiana it's 22 degrees in south louisiana we are not okay okay tomorrow's gonna be worse i think jay says it feels like negative nine here you've got a heat wave my question is you cold plungers yeah
• 0:54
  I got to give it out to our friend Sprinkles in this joke, but you're out there in your 42 degree cold plunge.
• 1:03
  The wind chill yesterday was three.
• 1:07
  Is it now a hot tub?
• 1:10
  There's nothing hot about it.
• 1:13
  When that wind goes by your face and you're in there and there's like, it feels that cold.
• 1:20
  No, there's nothing hot about it.
• 1:27
  So how do you protect yourself from ice pellets?
• 1:31
  Listen, there was a day... Stay in the house.
• 1:36
  There was a day I took an umbrella out there and covered my face because there were definitely ice pellets coming on my face.
• 1:42
  So that's why that didn't... But I'm doing it every day.
• 1:48
  I've done it every day for two weeks straight.
• 1:51
  So honestly...
• 1:54
  How do you feel cold plunging?
• 1:57
  Are you feeling a difference?
• 2:00
  I mean, my sleep has gotten a little better.
• 2:04
  So, and my HRV has jumped.
• 2:11
  Okay.
• 2:12
  Explain to me what that means.
• 2:14
  Your heart rate means basically I'm getting tougher to kill.
• 2:20
  The more variability I have in my heart rate throughout the day, that means my body can adapt more to stress and stressful situations.
• 2:29
  This is my layman's term explanation.
• 2:31
  I'm not an expert.
• 2:32
  This is just what I've come to the conclusion of.
• 2:35
  So the more opportunities that my body adapts to this stress, that means I'll be tougher to kill.
• 2:42
  Okay.
• 2:43
  Sounds valid.
• 2:45
  Are you trying to cheat death like Bob Shelton?
• 2:48
  Yes, I am.
• 2:50
  That would be my dad.
• 2:51
  We're both trying to cheat death.
• 2:53
  We're going to do our best.
• 2:58
  Charlie does none of those things.
• 3:02
  Charlie, have you seen Jesus lately?
• 3:07
  Have you?
• 3:07
  I have not.
• 3:08
  I didn't think so.
• 3:16
  So how was everybody's weekend?
• 3:17
  Cause it,
• 3:20
  It was awful here.
• 3:23
  The weather, you mean?
• 3:24
  Yeah.
• 3:25
  I took Natalie back to school yesterday and I had an awesome time with her home.
• 3:30
  But like the whole way when I was happy for her.
• 3:32
  But when we got there, she's like, oh, I just love my little town and my little this and this little, you know, it's like, but this isn't your home.
• 3:44
  But I'm glad that she feels that way and that and she's excited to go back because otherwise that would be harder.
• 3:50
  yeah for sure cory charlie's trying to uh compete against you this year so he's going full animal yeah you guys aren't familiar with like sonic come on tails like fly you guys don't have kids you don't know well yeah yeah i'll tell you what about charlie competing guess what i saw today
• 4:18
  He was nailing the depth on his back squats.
• 4:23
  Oh, yeah.
• 4:24
  With that new hip of his.
• 4:25
  Nice job.
• 4:27
  Put a little WD-40 on it.
• 4:30
  Yep.
• 4:33
  How much oil does that take?
• 4:36
  It's about a whole bottle, but it's cool.
• 4:40
  I get it from Costco, so I got plenty.
• 4:43
  And it's just right around the corner from the gym, so that works out.
• 4:50
  Was that the strength today?
• 4:53
  Yeah.
• 4:53
  Yes.
• 4:56
  Five every two minutes.
• 4:58
  Ten minutes.
• 4:59
  Yep.
• 5:00
  And then we did some handstand walking.
• 5:03
  Woof.
• 5:04
  Woof.
• 5:05
  Yeah.
• 5:05
  Mine was more controlled falling and then get back up and take a few steps.
• 5:12
  Okay.
• 5:12
  At least it was controlled.
• 5:13
  Yeah.
• 5:14
  It was.
• 5:14
  It was controlled.
• 5:15
  Thank you.
• 5:15
  Yeah.
• 5:17
  Tap down.
• 5:17
  Tap back up.
• 5:19
  Run faster again.
• 5:20
  Yep.
• 5:21
  Then there was, let's see, what was our workout?
• 5:23
  It was 15 minutes of 10 toes to bar, 25 foot handstand walk and 10 hang power cleans.
• 5:29
  So that's pretty fun actually.
• 5:32
  I like that.
• 5:34
  Those were the easy parts.
• 5:35
  Yeah.
• 5:36
  That sounds like a good one.
• 5:37
  Yeah.
• 5:39
  So Kat, did you work out today?
• 5:43
  No, I worked out on Saturday.
• 5:46
  Saturday.
• 5:46
  It was like six weeks ago.
• 5:49
  I did the, I did the Enderton front squat complex that the gym is doing.
• 5:55
  I did it on Saturday.
• 5:56
  I did some RDLs and I did some Bulgarian split squats.
• 5:59
  So I did a little bit of a leg workout.
• 6:01
  And then Monday I was going to do, I signed up for a class at my gym, a class that I wasn't coaching because I was off from work.
• 6:08
  And I realized that it was the Enderton squats that I had just done on Saturday and
• 6:13
  was the beginning so i walked in and i was like you know what never mind so you left i mean i was there coaching the earlier class anyway but i just i just neglected to stay yeah i was like it's okay as in jared and understand yeah corey squats
• 6:31
  They're all so yeah, so my my working out is very much lacking.
• 6:36
  I'm sort of burning the candle at both ends.
• 6:37
  I'm coaching in the morning, I'm coaching at night, I'm working full time during the day.
• 6:41
  And there's just not a whole lot of time or motivation.
• 6:43
  But I will tell you that I started on the RP app for my macros and stuff.
• 6:50
  I've done that before.
• 6:51
  What do you think?
• 6:52
  Yeah, I really like it.
• 6:53
  Braden actually turned me on to it.
• 6:54
  He's been following the guy from RP like on YouTube, and he sends me all these videos.
• 6:59
  He's more of like a bodybuilding guy.
• 7:01
  It's the RP strength guy.
• 7:05
  But I figured he and I are, so he and I are going to the Arnold at the end of February, early March.
• 7:12
  And we both want to look good when we get there.
• 7:14
  You kind of have to.
• 7:16
  looked apart.
• 7:17
  So that was sort of our motivation to set, set a goal in the future.
• 7:20
  So come that weekend, we will both be, have cut a little bit of fluffiness out of our bodies.
• 7:28
  So yeah, it's fun.
• 7:29
  I'm enjoying it.
• 7:30
  I'm eating a lot of food and it's fun.
• 7:32
  It's a lot of food on there.
• 7:33
  Yeah.
• 7:34
  Once I figure out how to move my macros around from one meal to another and
• 7:39
  You know, the app's not super intuitive and maybe it's just my old lady brain.
• 7:42
  I'm not technically savvy anymore.
• 7:45
  Scott, don't say that I never used to be because I was at one time.
• 7:51
  But yeah, so it's fun.
• 7:53
  I'm enjoying it.
• 7:54
  I like I get reminders to eat, which is cool.
• 7:56
  Yes, I know.
• 7:57
  So I figured if I can't be super strict on the exercise, which I've been very lax on, um, I am trying to lift two or three times a week, just lift heavy, which is like the bare minimum for somebody like me.
• 8:09
  Um, but the eating's in control, so I feel good.
• 8:13
  Yeah.
• 8:15
  Yeah.
• 8:15
  I don't need a nap to tell me to eat.
• 8:16
  I have Corey.
• 8:20
  And yes, Corey, Dr. Mike, his videos are quality entertainment for sure.
• 8:26
  So one sad development about the Arnold is that they have canceled not only the affiliate gathering, but the CrossFit competition.
• 8:38
  And so there will be no CrossFit at the Arnold for like the first time in, gosh, as long as I can remember.
• 8:47
  Yeah.
• 8:48
  Do we know sort of the story behind that?
• 8:51
  Seems abrupt.
• 8:52
  Or has it been a long time coming?
• 8:54
  What I got from the announcement they made on Instagram was that they were given a 9,000 square foot spot
• 9:02
  Then at last minute change to their own location at the fairgrounds, which was like 100,000 square feet.
• 9:12
  So they had a ton of room.
• 9:13
  Yeah.
• 9:14
  Then it got switched a third time and then a fourth time back to the 9,000 square foot.
• 9:21
  And with all the changes, they were not able to.
• 9:26
  um they weren't able to keep up with all those changes and decided rather than try to screw it all up regroup and get ready for next year okay so they're so they'll be back they just got their change yanked a few too many times this time yeah okay
• 9:46
  Well, that's cool.
• 9:47
  That's a bummer for me, though.
• 9:48
  It's probably the only time I'm going to go, and I would have liked to have seen some CrossFit stuff.
• 9:52
  And they said that the tickets were a lot more expensive than in the years past.
• 9:58
  Well, that's probably also because I'm going, I'm sure.
• 10:02
  Yeah.
• 10:03
  The cat's going to be here.
• 10:04
  Let's jack them up.
• 10:05
  She'll pay.
• 10:08
  That reminds me, Scott, remind me, I still have to get, um, general admission tickets.
• 10:11
  I have the nighttime, the Friday night and Saturday night weightlifting or bodybuilding final stuff, but I don't have tickets to actually get there.
• 10:19
  Yeah.
• 10:19
  I can still just get at the door.
• 10:21
  That's the scary thing about the announcement is $50 a day for the general admission.
• 10:28
  Oh shit.
• 10:30
  And that's another reason that they backed up a little bit.
• 10:35
  Um,
• 10:36
  Usually you could go to like Kroger or someplace like that and get discounted tickets, but I've seen nothing at this point.
• 10:43
  Okay.
• 10:44
  But I will let you know as soon as I hear something.
• 10:48
  Cool.
• 10:51
  But I will tell you this.
• 10:52
  We do CrossFit year-round.
• 10:55
  Like, there's so many things going on at the Arnold that, like, it's cool to see all the other stuff.
• 11:02
  Like, unless I was judging the affiliate gathering, like, I was off doing the other stuff because you never see that stuff live.
• 11:11
  Yeah.
• 11:12
  Right?
• 11:13
  Yeah.
• 11:13
  So I don't think you'll miss anything by CrossFit not being there.
• 11:17
  I mean, who knows?
• 11:17
  I might go off into my own little...
• 11:20
  bodybuilding black hole.
• 11:22
  You never know.
• 11:25
  Yeah.
• 11:27
  My guess is after this, you'll be a professional axe thrower.
• 11:31
  Yeah.
• 11:32
  Something like that.
• 11:34
  You never know.
• 11:34
  That's better than what Kat's next adventure is.
• 11:37
  Right.
• 11:38
  What's the Scottish thing?
• 11:41
  What's that called?
• 11:43
  Highland Games?
• 11:44
  Yeah.
• 11:46
  That's there too.
• 11:48
  Strongman stuff.
• 11:50
  Uh, martial arts, jump rope.
• 11:54
  Speaking of bodybuilding, um, uh, we watched a, a little documentary series on Netflix last night about, um, America, the warrior, uh, gladiators.
• 12:04
  Did you think about Con Porter because he's basically the Australian gladiator now?
• 12:11
  He's on, he's on a show.
• 12:13
  It was crazy.
• 12:15
  Some of the stuff that they talked about, it was pretty cool.
• 12:18
  Anyway, I digress.
• 12:23
  Scott, you going to work out?
• 12:27
  Not today.
• 12:28
  Today's my rest day now.
• 12:29
  That's right.
• 12:29
  Tuesday's your rest day.
• 12:30
  Did you work out yesterday?
• 12:32
  I did.
• 12:32
  Okay, good.
• 12:38
  So, but I am still, whatever this flu thing that's going around really sucks.
• 12:45
  Like it is really killing me.
• 12:48
  Hopefully, I think I'm like on the upswing finally.
• 12:53
  if you started cold plunging, you'd be tougher.
• 12:56
  So that, that wouldn't probably bother you.
• 12:59
  Yeah.
• 13:00
  Well, I did some lifting in my garage this weekend with gloves.
• 13:08
  Yeah.
• 13:10
  It was rough.
• 13:11
  I believe it.
• 13:12
  Yeah.
• 13:15
  So that's my other issue, guys, is that my body's falling apart and I'm not sure why.
• 13:21
  If I were doing CrossFit on a regular basis, I would expect all of these little tweaks and injuries to be happening.
• 13:29
  But I literally like I'm going to go I'm going to see the doctor tomorrow.
• 13:33
  I have a super serious tennis elbow that like won't go away.
• 13:38
  I had it injected about six months ago and I'm going to have to get it injected again.
• 13:42
  It got better, like really good for a while.
• 13:45
  And I mean, literally the extent of me using my upper body is like picking up a plate every three hours, like three times a week to put it away is like the extent of me using my elbow.
• 13:56
  So I'm not quite sure why it's so injured.
• 13:59
  But I have my left ring finger is like arthritic or something.
• 14:03
  I cannot like move.
• 14:05
  push up off the ground with this hand because of this finger.
• 14:09
  Like it's hurt so bad.
• 14:10
  I've been to a hand specialist twice.
• 14:12
  He's like, there's nothing wrong with it.
• 14:14
  You know, stretch it here, go to PT, whatever.
• 14:16
  It's like the weirdest thing.
• 14:19
  isolated injury that's like now moving into my wrist so both my upper extremities are jacked and my hip and low back from the same hip that i had surgery on back in 2016 like i couldn't get to sleep last night like i've been taking painkillers like for the last three days just so i can like sit comfortably and it's literally i'm not doing like it would make a lot of sense if i was like overdoing it or you know doing all this stuff
• 14:44
  i'm not doing anything i mean maybe that's maybe that's maybe i have to do something but like good grief i mean and i'm going to the doctor tomorrow and i'm like can i make an appointment for three body parts and they're like no you have to make three separate appointments like i need to see a doctor that's gonna see like multiple joints because i'm a mess so sorry i didn't mean to dump but no it's frustrating really frustrating
• 15:10
  So I will tell you from personal experience, when I'm not working out as much, I get all those aches and pains too.
• 15:17
  Because the one thing you're also not doing is warming up, stretching, heating up the muscles, doing all of those things as well.
• 15:26
  So not only are you not working out, but you're not doing all those other things.
• 15:32
  Warming up and stretching?
• 15:34
  Charlie doesn't warm up, yeah.
• 15:36
  He's trying to.
• 15:37
  But I know what you mean.
• 15:38
  It's kind of like that move it or lose it type thing.
• 15:41
  And it is true.
• 15:42
  But in terms of moving around, I spend all day stretching or mobilizing or shoving a Theragun on my ass all day because that's how sore it is.
• 15:54
  I'm stretching.
• 15:54
  I'm lying on boxes.
• 15:56
  I'm doing straddles.
• 15:57
  I'm doing figure fours.
• 15:59
  I'm sitting on lacrosse balls.
• 16:01
  Everything.
• 16:02
  Maybe I'm just going after it too much.
• 16:04
  But
• 16:05
  You know what you should get with your new job is you should get a walking pad.
• 16:10
  Yeah, I could do that.
• 16:11
  A cold plunge.
• 16:13
  And a sauna.
• 16:14
  And a sauna.
• 16:18
  Yeah, I need one of those now.
• 16:20
  Guys, it's just so weird.
• 16:21
  And start doing Taibo.
• 16:25
  Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
• 16:27
  When she said the Theragun, I immediately started thinking, oh, here we go with the vacuum.
• 16:31
  Guys, you know, that vacuum cleaner is about to get replaced at the gym too.
• 16:35
  I just wanted to say a moment of silence because it's starting to make some funny noises.
• 16:40
  I'm not surprised.
• 16:40
  I was going to say the suction is making some noise.
• 16:47
  It's lived a wildlife.
• 16:49
  It really has had a very good life in my gym.
• 16:51
  Some more other things.
• 16:54
  Cool.
• 16:56
  But you know what?
• 16:57
  Speaking of weather that we were thinking about, the weather sucked for Waterpalooza.
• 17:04
  Oh, yeah.
• 17:05
  It did.
• 17:05
  What a shame.
• 17:07
  I mean, it always feels like it always did.
• 17:08
  Last year, I think we got lucky.
• 17:09
  I think last year was the best, worst weather there was.
• 17:16
  True that.
• 17:18
  True that.
• 17:22
  Yeah.
• 17:26
  Yeah.
• 17:27
  Oh yeah.
• 17:27
  The weather was awful.
• 17:28
  And the last year we were probably, it was just cold.
• 17:31
  It didn't rain.
• 17:32
  Right.
• 17:32
  But that's what I'm saying.
• 17:33
  It was probably the best worst.
• 17:36
  Um, in my opinion this year, it made it almost unwatchable on Sunday.
• 17:44
  Yeah.
• 17:45
  With the teams of three and that many people on the floor and the rain coming down and all of the changes in the workouts, um,
• 17:54
  It just was really hard to watch.
• 17:57
  And I know that there's not much that the event directors can do.
• 18:00
  You're an outdoor competition, and that's probably half of the draw is Miami in the winter and being outside in the sun.
• 18:12
  But there was sun one day out of three.
• 18:15
  And now we've been hit with rain at Rogue, where everything got switched around.
• 18:20
  That's right.
• 18:21
  And then we got rain at Waterpalooza.
• 18:22
  So two of the big three off-season comps were compromised because of the weather.
• 18:30
  I think it shows that the games going inside this year is probably a really good move.
• 18:41
  Yeah, I agree.
• 18:44
  maybe california will be a better venue for them you know with the weather it's a little more predictable yeah but we're gonna have a semi-final outside but on a happy note our girls took first place they did
• 19:11
  Kelly.
• 19:12
  Yeah.
• 19:12
  That was cool.
• 19:13
  Yeah.
• 19:13
  Kelly, Kelsey and Emily.
• 19:18
  Yeah.
• 19:19
  Emil or I think it's Emil.
• 19:22
  Yeah.
• 19:23
  Right.
• 19:24
  That made me happy because everything that they were saying too, that they were like, listen, people always question us.
• 19:31
  Like, you know, we feel like we're not, we don't belong, but we belong, you know, like, so I loved that they proved that.
• 19:40
  Did you hear Kelsey say go birds?
• 19:43
  I did.
• 19:45
  Didn't help.
• 19:45
  No, it didn't.
• 19:47
  Nope.
• 19:48
  Yeah, that worked out.
• 19:52
  I don't want to talk any football.
• 19:53
  Yeah.
• 19:54
  There's nothing good to talk about anymore.
• 19:56
  Good grief.
• 19:58
  Although, did we see those stands in Buffalo where people were like, they had like beer coolers right there in front of them and
• 20:06
  We had snowmen in the stands because they didn't have time to get the snow out.
• 20:10
  It was crazy.
• 20:13
  I have a judging question for Kat because she's been to Waterpalooza, the rain, where they had to wormhole and do the strict pull-ups.
• 20:28
  You had a judge at the pull-ups and then you had a white shirt kind of
• 20:32
  walking between to see if the worm was still off the ground yeah that wasn't good and when they wasn't she's yelling and i'm just going by what i saw on the screen it was a she sure yeah he's yelling the team can't hear in that music at wadapalooza right hell teammates don't even hear each other and
• 20:56
  It was almost like you needed one judge per lane and they needed to give some kind of a hand signal to the judge by the rig to determine whether that person needed to come off or not.
• 21:07
  Because quite frankly, that last rep for Kelly and Kelsey and Emily's team didn't count.
• 21:14
  Like that worm was on the ground when they did that last rep.
• 21:17
  Now they were a minute ahead of everyone else, so it wouldn't have really changed the outcome.
• 21:22
  But, you know, who knows how many times that happened.
• 21:28
  It's a bad look.
• 21:30
  And these contingency plans with the weather seemed like they put the judges in a worse position.
• 21:38
  One, you're changing it last minute, so you don't have as much time to brief the judges.
• 21:43
  And you're asking them to judge strict movements, which are almost harder to judge than your regular movements.
• 21:53
  Yeah.
• 21:54
  Oh, for sure.
• 21:55
  Yeah, there's no good.
• 21:56
  Nobody wins when you have to change workouts.
• 21:58
  I feel like, you know, it's not as exciting to watch.
• 22:01
  And, you know, sometimes you're not thinking about other things.
• 22:05
  And, you know, the judging usually is the last thing that gets considered.
• 22:11
  And those pull-ups were just a mess.
• 22:14
  Like if Charlie and I are going side by side, Charlie can do strict pull-ups all day long.
• 22:20
  With full extension, I'm going to cheat every rep and not go to full extension because it's the only way I can do strict pull-ups.
• 22:27
  Yeah.
• 22:28
  Right?
• 22:28
  And they were allowing that to go on.
• 22:33
  And it's not fair to Charlie, who's doing the full movement and expending more energy than the person beside him cheating every rep and not dropping to full hang.
• 22:45
  Yeah.
• 22:45
  Right.
• 22:46
  Yeah.
• 22:48
  That's a hard one.
• 22:50
  So the whole competition just left.
• 22:53
  I left with a bad taste in my mouth.
• 22:55
  And I know there's not much you can do with the weather because you have to be safe.
• 23:00
  Yeah.
• 23:02
  But.
• 23:05
  Well, it's just like when they changed the alpaca workout two years ago and it completely changed that workout.
• 23:13
  And so we saw, you know.
• 23:19
  different stimulus almost than we might have if it would have been kept original so it's yeah yeah just disappointing but necessary like using yeah so do you do you think there's any solution to this like is there a way to put a cover over something at rogue or wadapalooza to fix it or is it just something we have to deal with and pray the weather's gonna hold out
• 23:53
  I don't know.
• 23:54
  I mean, are you talking structurally, like actually putting a cover on it?
• 24:01
  Well, you know, like those.
• 24:02
  Like a tent or something.
• 24:04
  Yeah, almost like a tent.
• 24:07
  Yeah, I mean, you almost have to have some kind of backup indoor plan, but that becomes so expensive, you know, especially if you don't use it.
• 24:14
  Yep.
• 24:16
  And I don't know that we figured out, anybody's figured out the economics of one of these, you know, one of these events to do that.
• 24:24
  And you don't want to put it all inside.
• 24:26
  I mean, it's Miami.
• 24:26
  People go there to be outside.
• 24:28
  Like that's the cool part of Guadalupalooza.
• 24:30
  That barge, floating barge was super cool.
• 24:33
  Yeah, I thought that's the best thing they did this year.
• 24:36
  Yeah, it was way better.
• 24:37
  Floating barge.
• 24:38
  For media, for spectators, probably for the athletes too.
• 24:42
  They just had so much more.
• 24:45
  Less stress.
• 24:46
  How stressful was it when we were in that area trying to watch and people would be walking in front of us and getting in front of our shots?
• 24:52
  It was awful.
• 24:54
  That was a great, great idea.
• 24:56
  Maybe you only get one great idea a year.
• 24:59
  It'll be a couple more years before they iron it all out.
• 25:01
  People still go.
• 25:04
  Yeah, I think, Scott, if they were to incorporate putting on putting up some kind of structure or tent like that, then then we would be complaining about it was obstructing our view as spectators.
• 25:15
  You know, like there's I think there's there's going to be a no win.
• 25:19
  I don't know.
• 25:20
  And if there is a win, I don't know what that solution is.
• 25:23
  That's why there are people that know more about this than I do.
• 25:29
  Yeah.
• 25:29
  I mean, the only reason I bring the question up is we're all going to complain about how bad it was, but I don't think there is an easy solution.
• 25:39
  I mean, the draw of that event is being outside in the sun in January and there's no viable solution that wouldn't cost that event spectators and or athletes to the end.
• 25:57
  But
• 25:58
  Yeah.
• 25:58
  I mean, here's one thing they could plan for bad weather and have alternate workouts established ahead of time.
• 26:08
  Supposedly that happened this year.
• 26:10
  Okay, good.
• 26:11
  Okay, good.
• 26:12
  So if that's the case, then, you know, you do, you have time to think it through.
• 26:16
  You have time to sort of consult with your head judge to make sure that it works from a judging perspective.
• 26:21
  You should be able to work out some of those details before you, you launch.
• 26:28
  So that's great.
• 26:31
  Yeah.
• 26:31
  I don't know if, I don't know if it, you know, interviewed by spin and he said they had them in place two months ago.
• 26:38
  Oh, good.
• 26:39
  Okay.
• 26:42
  Yeah.
• 26:42
  Thanks.
• 26:45
  I'm a little disappointed that no one has called me.
• 26:47
  No one's making any pilot jokes with my headphones.
• 26:50
  Is that just an Amy thing?
• 26:52
  I guess so.
• 26:53
  I mean, I think they need to pull up.
• 26:56
  Yeah, they're just tired of saying all my things.
• 27:00
  Oh, that's funny.
• 27:03
  Yeah.
• 27:04
  All right.
• 27:04
  So open signups are out there.
• 27:07
  Everybody signed up?
• 27:08
  I did.
• 27:08
  Not yet.
• 27:11
  Yep.
• 27:12
  It's the same price, everybody, in case you're wondering.
• 27:14
  It's $20.
• 27:15
  What?
• 27:15
  Last year.
• 27:20
  Also, people, I took the judge's course.
• 27:24
  I would say that it's the most comprehensive one that we've had in a long time, but way, I liked the format way better.
• 27:33
  Oh, good.
• 27:34
  Like it was, you know how sometimes you're like, Oh man, I have to go all the way back through this test.
• 27:39
  Like this one right on.
• 27:43
  I liked it.
• 27:46
  Did you write down your answers so you can, you didn't have to.
• 27:49
  Oh, you didn't have to.
• 27:51
  I mean like this is way smoother.
• 27:52
  Okay.
• 28:05
  Did you guys see the shirt?
• 28:06
  Apparently, Corey didn't like it.
• 28:09
  No.
• 28:11
  I think I saw it.
• 28:12
  It's very busy.
• 28:13
  A lot of stuff on it.
• 28:15
  It's a new open shirt.
• 28:19
  I wish I would have known.
• 28:20
  I would have pulled it up, but...
• 28:22
  to me it's like art is in the eye of the beholder.
• 28:25
  So there's going to be some people that like the shirt, some people that don't like the shirt.
• 28:30
  It is very different than the old school open shirt that just basically had the shield logo.
• 28:38
  This one, it's something about having fun or something.
• 28:42
  I think, I don't know, but it's definitely, it's more of a graphic tee than a,
• 28:52
  a regular shirt.
• 28:55
  But I know Vindicate made an alternate to that with an octopus doing several movements with all eight... What are they called?
• 29:08
  Tentacles?
• 29:08
  Arms?
• 29:10
  Yes.
• 29:11
  Tentacles.
• 29:14
  Tentacles.
• 29:18
  Tentacles.
• 29:22
  It's an N, not an S. It says nothing but a good time with rock and roll symbols.
• 29:29
  Yeah, that's a little weird.
• 29:32
  There's some people that'll like that.
• 29:34
  Yeah.
• 29:35
  Polls I've seen were pretty much split down the middle.
• 29:40
  Yeah.
• 29:40
  50% liked it, 50% didn't.
• 29:42
  I'm kind of a plain girl, so I like simple.
• 29:45
  Less is more.
• 29:48
  Well, you can get a shirt with the new CrossFit Games logo on it that everybody loves.
• 29:55
  Yeah, I don't think I love it.
• 29:58
  I think that was my biggest surprise.
• 30:00
  You come out with an open shirt a week after that you announced this new logo, and the new logo is not on the new shirt.
• 30:10
  Whether you love it or hate it or whatever, why?
• 30:13
  Right.
• 30:15
  Maybe it's in a redesign already.
• 30:19
  revamping we're gonna go ahead and redo that now yep yeah anyway so cory says travis shirt travis's shirt looks way better yeah i agree i will tell you it's really cool i love travis that's not my kind of shirt so i it wouldn't be a shirt that i would buy
• 30:46
  I'd be more into the rock and roll version of the shirt.
• 30:48
  I knew you would be.
• 30:49
  You like the flair.
• 30:50
  You know?
• 30:51
  Yeah.
• 30:52
  Well, there's way more flair, I think, on Travis's.
• 30:57
  But anyway, that's what I'm saying about like art and shirts are going to be in the eye of the beholder.
• 31:03
  Yeah.
• 31:03
  And it's pretty much a 50-50 split.
• 31:06
  And I'm glad there's an alternative, right?
• 31:09
  If you don't like the one, you can get the other.
• 31:14
  There you go.
• 31:16
  All right.
• 31:18
  So any goals for the open season?
• 31:22
  I mean, I hope to make quarterfinals again.
• 31:24
  I'm feeling like it should be less stressful since it's a top 25% and I'm in a new age division.
• 31:31
  That's right.
• 31:33
  That's exciting.
• 31:34
  Yeah.
• 31:35
  Any hopes for the top 200?
• 31:36
  No.
• 31:36
  No.
• 31:37
  That'd be a GD miracle.
• 31:49
  Yeah, well, I mean, maybe with my code plunging, maybe by then I will really be, that would be it.
• 32:00
  My goal is to still have an affiliate through the open.
• 32:04
  Okay.
• 32:05
  That's a good.
• 32:05
  That's my goal.
• 32:06
  Yeah.
• 32:10
  All right.
• 32:11
  Okay.
• 32:12
  My goal is to breathe by then.
• 32:15
  And then do better than I did last year.
• 32:19
  There you go.
• 32:21
  I did 12% better last year than the year before.
• 32:23
  So if I can increase that another 7%.
• 32:26
  Get out of that bottom 20%.
• 32:33
  I'm still working on my ring muscle-ups.
• 32:37
  Oh, you'll have them by then.
• 32:38
  Well, I keep thinking every week I'm going to have it.
• 32:41
  They won't be in there.
• 32:42
  How long have you been working on?
• 32:44
  A long time.
• 32:45
  It takes a lot of time to build a lot of strength, okay?
• 32:47
  But I'm not giving up on it.
• 32:52
  I'm not giving up.
• 32:55
  All right.
• 32:55
  I got to go welcome the next classes coming in.
• 32:58
  Last tip.
• 32:59
  Just need to use that Rebecca Wyatt Wishart.
• 33:04
  Her dip style is like that.
• 33:07
  You do that a couple times at the top, you'll get your muscle up in no time.
• 33:11
  I need to get on top of the rings.
• 33:12
  That's where I'm lacking.
• 33:14
  You're on top of the rings.
• 33:18
  You are.
• 33:19
  Okay.
• 33:19
  I'll get there.
• 33:20
  A lot of ring dips, Amy.
• 33:21
  A lot of ring dips.
• 33:24
  You got this.
• 33:25
  All right.
• 33:27
  With that, we'll catch everybody next week.
• 33:30
  Same time.
• 33:30
  This is our new time, 1215.
• 33:32
  Every Tuesday, Clydesdale Media Roundtable.
• 33:35
  See you all next week.
• 33:36
  Bye, guys.
