Lunch with the Clydesdale - Did Someone We Know Beat Bagent??? · Clydesdale Media Podcast

0:33
what's going on everybody
0:35
welcome to lunchtime do I
0:37
need a break today I need
0:39
to hang out with my friends
0:41
need to hang out with my
0:42
homies I need a break today
0:45
but first we throw a dart
0:49
ah just left much better
0:52
than yesterday though um
0:56
yeah what a freaking day
0:57
dudes um so I'm gonna fill
1:00
you in on a little story
1:04
have a vendor that I work
1:05
with I have a really I work
1:06
in a really small unit with
1:08
the state of ohio and we
1:10
help people find work and
1:12
part of that is to have a
1:13
job posting board and
1:15
fifteen twenty years ago we
1:17
did a contract with monster
1:20
um and if you remember
1:22
monster.com it was a job
1:24
search site way back in the day
1:27
We hired them to be our
1:29
vendor to create our job board,
1:32
and then we expanded on that.
1:34
There's a lot of tools and
1:35
stuff associated with it,
1:36
like resume classes and
1:40
interviewing practice and
1:43
finding out your daily
1:44
budget and a bunch of stuff like that.
1:47
Anyway, it's really big, really expansive.
1:52
And if you've been following the news,
1:54
Monster filed for
1:54
bankruptcy a couple weeks ago.
1:58
And with that means we've
2:00
probably lost our vendor in
2:03
midstream of everything.
2:05
So everything's kind of like in a rush.
2:08
We, as a government,
2:09
always have to put a
2:10
request for proposal
2:12
whenever we hire a new person on.
2:14
And so we are in the middle
2:16
of scrambling to put all of
2:18
that stuff together.
2:21
crazy utter craziness so
2:23
workload has been really
2:24
high for a couple weeks and
2:27
then today my unit is three
2:30
people and a boss and my
2:34
one of my people got let go
2:36
today so now it's just two
2:39
of us and my boss with all
2:43
the extra stuff piled on top
2:46
And now that person's duties
2:48
are going to be shifted to
2:50
me and my coworker and
2:52
split up and even more
2:54
stuff dumped on us.
2:56
And yeah,
2:59
if ever I needed a day to hang
3:01
out with my friends at lunch,
3:03
today is that day.
3:07
It's crazy to think that I
3:10
actually took off.
3:12
couple days this week
3:14
because it doesn't feel
3:15
like it at all um dang so
3:20
anyway so that's my day and
3:24
then my day hits me right
3:25
about eleven forty five
3:27
even harder again maybe
3:29
maybe eleven thirty eleven
3:31
thirty uh when andrew
3:36
hiller decided to cut up yesterday's show
3:41
And share,
3:45
cut up a reel and share it to
3:47
his Instagram.
3:49
And if there's any doubts
3:51
that Andrew Hiller is the
3:54
biggest influencer in the space,
3:56
let me tell you,
3:57
if he cuts up a reel of you,
3:58
your phone blows up.
4:02
And he shared this for
4:04
directors when Lazar died
4:05
to go out there and be the
4:06
public face of everything.
4:07
And then everybody just hated on him.
4:10
And that's why the letter
4:11
said fire Dave and not fire
4:13
Don or not fire the board
4:14
of directors or sell the company.
4:16
Everybody thinks Dave's
4:17
responsible for everything.
4:18
He's the director of the games.
4:20
He's not the CEO.
4:21
He's not the board of directors.
4:23
And they got off scot-free
4:25
in this whole thing because
4:26
Dave took it all on.
4:27
The more I sit back and look
4:28
at this whole thing,
4:29
it's almost like Dave
4:30
should be a hero for what
4:31
he did for the company
4:33
instead of vilified.
4:34
Nobody's even looking behind the curtain.
4:37
Everybody's just aiming.
4:39
So you get the picture.
4:40
If you were here yesterday,
4:42
you saw me go off on this
4:44
rant and it got clipped and
4:46
put out there on Instagram.
4:48
And now my phone is on fire.
4:51
Completely on fire.
4:54
Andrew Hiller is by far the
4:56
biggest influencer in this space.
4:59
at least what I've experienced.
5:01
I've done interviews with Matt Frazier.
5:03
I've done interviews with
5:05
some of the biggest names
5:06
in the sport and never once
5:08
has my phone blown up like
5:11
this after doing my own
5:12
reel and cutting it out
5:13
there or doing it with the
5:17
athletes in the space, man.
5:19
But Andrew Hiller shares your stuff.
5:21
Ba boom.
5:26
So that's been fun today.
5:31
But I want to get to
5:31
something interesting here,
5:34
and that is we've also been
5:35
following Beat Bajent for
5:37
the last ten days or so, maybe a week,
5:40
ten days.
5:42
And my co-host, Jamie Latimer,
5:46
did it yesterday.
5:47
She shared the video on her
5:49
YouTube with us.
5:51
I got to watch it yesterday.
5:53
She did not post her score
5:54
until last night,
5:55
and that was intentional because...
6:00
At the time that she had done it,
6:03
she was the top scorer for
6:06
women and beat Bajent.
6:10
And she beat Bajent.
6:13
So she beat Erica Follow and
6:14
she beat Bajent,
6:16
and she was the top woman
6:17
scorer on the leaderboard.
6:21
As we got closer to evening,
6:24
and I think around nine
6:26
o'clock I was checking it,
6:28
Mackenzie Riley posted right here.
6:31
Mackenzie Riley posted.
6:34
Ninety burpees.
6:37
Jamie posted ninety one burpees.
6:41
Then, like a half an hour later,
6:42
after Jamie posted her score,
6:45
Mackenzie score went from
6:46
ninety burpees to ninety
6:48
one burpees and they're tied.
6:51
And I'm like, oh, my gosh.
6:54
And I want Jamie to win.
6:56
She's my co-host.
6:57
She's a savage.
7:00
But you come over here and look,
7:03
and Mackenzie Riley didn't put a video.
7:07
No video.
7:09
So right here is Jamie's video.
7:12
We can pop that open if it'll let me.
7:19
Somewhere on this screen,
7:20
hopefully there's a video.
7:21
No, no.
7:25
Well, that stinks.
7:28
Come on.
7:33
Jamie Latimer.
7:35
Video.
7:35
There we go.
7:39
We're connected to the rower.
7:43
Zero.
7:46
She did post a video.
7:49
And Jimbo's doing it.
7:51
Wave to the camera, Jim.
7:53
So it takes her about five
7:56
and a half minutes to get off the rower.
7:59
And I was like, ooh,
8:00
that's going to be tough.
8:03
It's going to be tough.
8:04
So where she at?
8:04
She's at three and a half minutes there.
8:07
Four-fifty.
8:09
You got to see the dismount.
8:11
I'm going to blow it up here.
8:13
Watch the dismount.
8:16
Right into the burpee.
8:18
Look at that savage.
8:20
Doesn't even take a breath.
8:22
Just unhooks the straps,
8:24
flops into the burpee and away she goes.
8:28
And her burpees never slow down,
8:31
never slow down to ninety one.
8:35
I talked to her last night.
8:36
She was like,
8:36
if I would have just rode
8:37
fifteen seconds faster.
8:41
Crazy.
8:44
So.
8:46
With where we are right now, um.
8:50
Jamie is the leading female
8:53
in the clubhouse,
8:54
and I believe it's closed.
8:56
I think she wins.
8:58
Right here is her score.
9:00
Again, Mackenzie Riley says she tied,
9:02
but there's no video.
9:04
Just like Corey Leonard says, no video.
9:07
In that case,
9:07
I beat Brandon Luckett at
9:09
eight twenty seven.
9:11
OK.
9:16
But that doesn't get you the jersey.
9:19
Jamie's going to get the
9:20
Jersey for the top
9:21
finishing female that I can see.
9:23
I,
9:24
I went through anything that looked like
9:26
a female name.
9:27
I pulled up the video to see,
9:29
and everybody above her was, um,
9:32
we're male.
9:35
So.
9:36
Yeah.
9:37
And Brandon Luckett just crushed it.
9:39
Eight thirty finishes the
9:42
entire workout in eight thirty.
9:46
I watched it just to see if
9:48
it was humanly possible
9:49
because I wanted to see.
9:53
And his row was off the hook.
9:54
I mean,
9:55
he was done three thirty with one
9:57
hundred cows.
9:59
How is that possible?
10:02
And then I would say Jamie's
10:04
burpees were faster than Brandon's.
10:07
I'd like to see it almost side by side.
10:09
They looked faster,
10:11
but Brandon just had such a
10:13
lead coming off the row.
10:18
And when you get a hundred
10:19
calories in three minutes
10:20
and thirty seconds,
10:21
you're probably clipping at
10:23
a pretty good pace.
10:24
And that is going to affect
10:25
your burpees as they go forward.
10:29
But he didn't slow down either.
10:30
He just kept the same pace.
10:32
Congratulations to them.
10:45
It appears that Brandon
10:46
Luckett is your male winner
10:48
of Beep Agent and Jamie
10:49
Latimer is the female
10:50
winner of Beep Agent.
10:53
And they'll be getting...
10:55
the lovely,
10:56
beautiful orange and blue
10:58
Chicago bear jerseys of
11:00
Tyson Baygent autographed.
11:04
And that is pretty freaking cool.
11:08
So with that, um,
11:16
don't have a ton today but I
11:18
was watching get with the
11:19
programming last night uh
11:21
with bill and chase and
11:22
then it was jr taylor and
11:25
bryson coming up with they
11:28
all came up with four
11:29
different workouts
11:30
independently a
11:32
monostructural a gymnastics
11:37
um a mixed modal and a weightlifting
11:43
And I am not a programming guy.
11:44
That's not something that I
11:45
generally get into, uh, because I'm just,
11:49
I'm just a big guy that
11:51
showed up at a gym and his
11:52
trip was trying to get fit
11:54
and just like doing the workouts.
11:55
But I don't really
11:56
understand the programming aspect of it.
12:00
And that just isn't my forte.
12:01
I, I like rooting for the sport.
12:04
I like going to the gym.
12:05
I like doing the workouts, but man,
12:08
the stuff they were coming
12:09
up with was so creative.
12:12
So creative.
12:14
We talked on Sunday night
12:15
about some of our favorites
12:17
from the past.
12:17
And I had said on that show
12:19
that I love when you mix
12:21
swimming and something else.
12:23
Like you have to get out of a pool,
12:25
do something else, get back in the pool.
12:29
Taylor had one that was a
12:31
hundred meter swims.
12:32
I think there was five of them.
12:35
four or five of them rounds
12:37
and then when you got out
12:38
of the hundred meter swim
12:40
with whatever time was
12:41
remaining in that set it
12:42
was max calorie row but I
12:45
thought that was pretty cool
12:48
I really like swimming stuff
12:49
where you had to do something.
12:51
I like grabbing a dumbbell,
12:53
doing some stuff like that.
12:55
I think that's cool.
12:57
I know that legends a couple
12:59
years ago did a dumbbell
13:02
movement at the end of each lap.
13:05
And then once you were done,
13:05
you were back in for another,
13:08
I think it was a hundred,
13:08
a hundred meters.
13:10
And then like some dumbbell work.
13:12
Now,
13:13
the part that Taylor wanted it in a
13:15
transparent floating pool
13:19
that hovered over the floor,
13:21
that might have been a little far-fetched,
13:24
maybe,
13:25
especially with the budget concerns
13:27
we have right now.
13:29
But I applaud the creativity there.
13:33
JR came up with a workout that was like,
13:35
he called squid games, like red light,
13:38
green light,
13:39
where you actually had to
13:40
like pause a pegboard
13:42
movement in different
13:43
places where there was tape.
13:46
You actually had to stop and
13:48
then you could go again.
13:49
So it couldn't be a fluid movement.
13:51
It had to like test a little bit more.
13:54
And he'd had another
13:55
movement like that as well.
13:57
Maybe handstand walks.
14:00
But I found that pretty fascinating too,
14:03
just adding some stuff like that.
14:04
But the most fun one that came up was,
14:10
and this was for,
14:13
I think it was for gymnastics.
14:15
I don't know.
14:15
I might be wrong.
14:21
It was a climbing one that
14:23
Taylor came up with where
14:24
it was climb over three high walls and
14:29
then do two cargo nets and
14:33
then a rock climbing wall to finish.
14:37
And I thought, man,
14:38
that'd be really fun to watch.
14:41
And he had it as an
14:42
elimination style event where you would,
14:45
I think he had, he had heats of four,
14:48
heats of five maybe.
14:50
And you would go through and
14:51
you would eliminate down
14:52
and then the next group
14:53
would go and you'd
14:54
eliminate down further.
14:56
But it's just a quick over, over, over,
14:58
over the cargo net and then
15:00
up the rock wall.
15:03
And, uh,
15:04
since I was at the games in
15:06
and I worked north park
15:08
when they had the obstacle
15:09
course there that cargo net
15:11
was so fun and so cool to
15:13
watch but these athletes
15:16
were giving themselves up
15:18
when they were practicing
15:20
they were launching
15:21
themselves over the top and
15:22
they it was almost like
15:23
they didn't care if they
15:25
fell to the the sand below um
15:29
And then when Dave saw all
15:32
of that happening, he actually said,
15:35
that is not allowed.
15:36
You cannot flip over the top
15:38
of the cargo net.
15:40
You must go over with one
15:42
leg at a time to kind of
15:44
slow that process down.
15:46
And that was a change like
15:47
last minute when he saw how
15:49
reckless the athletes were
15:53
going over the cargo net
15:54
that he actually said, no,
15:56
we're not going to be reckless.
15:58
You're going to go over one leg at a time.
16:01
That's why stuff when people
16:02
are like that Dave doesn't
16:03
care about safety really
16:06
get me fired up because
16:07
I've been there on the
16:09
floor when he's made
16:10
changes last minute to
16:11
things to make things safer.
16:17
And you don't see that at
16:18
every event that I've been
16:20
at a lot of other events
16:21
where that doesn't happen.
16:23
But I can tell you
16:25
definitively at that two
16:26
thousand seventeen games, the cargo net,
16:29
the athletes were launching
16:31
themselves in their feet up
16:32
over the top of the cargo net.
16:35
and then coming down super
16:36
fast and some just like
16:39
almost sliding down the
16:40
other side of the cargo net.
16:42
And he put a stop to that by
16:44
changing the rules that you
16:46
had to go over one leg at a
16:47
time and then descend the cargo net.
16:50
So yeah, he forever,
16:54
he has been concerned about
16:56
the safety of the athletes.
17:00
Um,
17:02
And to pretend that he's not
17:03
is just ludicrous at times.
17:06
So anyway,
17:08
but I've said that enough this week.
17:11
This is Friday.
17:12
We're just chilling.
17:12
I'm just hanging with my
17:13
friends to get away from a crazy workday.
17:17
So yeah, it was a really cool show.
17:23
They ended up then voting on
17:25
which one they wanted to
17:26
put together and voted like
17:27
the best mixed modal, the best gymnastics,
17:30
the best weightlifting.
17:35
Jody Lynn,
17:36
I was there for the cargo net year.
17:37
Crazy comp.
17:39
They actually did the cargo net two times.
17:41
They did it in seventeen and eighteen.
17:46
Our rescue Randy was also cargo net,
17:49
but it was out in the field.
17:56
they got back to north park
17:57
it was just drag randy down
17:59
the course but the cargo
18:01
net was out in the field
18:02
and that's where pat and
18:04
matt fell off the top of
18:06
the cargo net the first
18:09
year was seventeen and it
18:10
was actually right beside
18:11
north park and they built a
18:13
sand pit uh beneath everything
18:17
And that's where they had
18:18
the cargo net into the log balance,
18:22
into the monkey bars.
18:24
Then they had the swinging ropes.
18:29
Lots of stuff.
18:34
Yeah, that's seventeen, Jody.
18:36
Yep.
18:37
Yeah,
18:37
when the very end was climbing up a
18:41
ladder that spun and wasn't
18:44
very stable and then get
18:47
into a platform and hit a buzzer.
19:02
Uh,
19:02
aha says cargo nets could be done with
19:04
a handheld flip at the top.
19:05
It's how I do them in obstacle races.
19:08
Yeah.
19:08
That's what they were doing initially,
19:11
but people were falling off
19:12
the nets when they were trying it.
19:14
And so, um, uh, so yeah, they, they were,
19:24
they stopped it and made
19:25
you go at the CrossFit games.
19:28
They made you go one leg over at a time.
19:34
Jeffrey Birchfield.
19:34
So I reserved my room for
19:36
the age group CrossFit games.
19:38
I did it through CrossFit volunteer site.
19:40
Hope that was correct, Scott.
19:45
I hope so.
19:46
I know the legend site had some things,
19:50
but they had like fifteen rooms,
19:52
fifteen hotels, all with deals.
19:55
So any of the fifteen work.
20:00
But I'm assuming that they
20:02
have hooked up with the
20:02
volunteer site as well.
20:06
That would only make sense.
20:08
But where I work and what's
20:11
been happening the last
20:12
couple weeks making sense
20:13
isn't necessarily a
20:14
guarantee that that's
20:16
exactly what's going to happen.
20:22
But that was a fun show to
20:26
watch if you guys want to check it out.
20:28
They really were creative,
20:29
and I really did like –
20:35
I really did like what they
20:36
were kind of putting together.
20:40
So you'll be up at OSU.
20:42
So that's,
20:44
that's a little bit North of the
20:46
convention center.
20:47
It's going to probably take
20:48
you ten minutes to get to the,
20:51
probably not ten minutes.
20:53
It's all about traffic.
20:56
And school won't be back in,
20:58
so you should be okay.
21:00
You should be okay, Jay Birch.
21:08
One thing that this is just a,
21:10
this is my segment called
21:12
the old man that yells at clouds.
21:14
Um,
21:15
my wife and I watched jeopardy most
21:17
nights.
21:19
It's not like a must have
21:20
watch or we've got to see it,
21:21
but generally we put on
21:24
jeopardy after dinner,
21:25
watch a little jeopardy and, uh,
21:30
enjoy that.
21:31
But man, there's this trend lately where,
21:34
that in Final Jeopardy,
21:36
people are doing this thing
21:37
that I call wuss betting.
21:40
And that is that they are
21:42
betting like they're not
21:43
going to get the answer correct.
21:46
Or they're betting on their
21:47
opponent not getting the answer correct.
21:50
Instead of going all in to
21:53
win the event and be
21:55
confident in their ability to
21:58
And, and man, for the last couple of weeks,
22:02
people were betting like
22:03
fourteen hundred dollars
22:04
when they're in the lead.
22:05
And it makes no sense.
22:09
Like,
22:09
I would never see the greats like Ken
22:11
Jennings or James Holzhauer
22:14
doing those kinds of wussy bets.
22:16
Like, bet like you know your shit.
22:24
Jay Burch says it's called gaming.
22:27
I understand if you have a
22:30
certain amount of lead and
22:31
you can guarantee your win
22:33
for the next day, that makes sense.
22:35
These are all people that
22:37
have to stave off someone
22:38
else trying to take the win from them.
22:41
And they're doing these, oh gosh,
22:44
it drives me nuts.
22:46
If I'm going to bet at the end of a game,
22:48
I'm going to bet on myself
22:49
to get it right and to beat
22:51
the other people.
22:52
I'm not going to bet on us all losing.
22:57
That just seems like a,
22:59
and maybe it's just my
23:00
mentality and being an
23:02
athlete my whole life and
23:04
being a very competitive person.
23:07
I just,
23:07
I don't like taking the passive
23:10
approach to the end of a game.
23:15
Either you believe in
23:16
yourself and your own abilities,
23:19
or why are you there?
23:25
Again,
23:27
Just my old man yelling at
23:29
the cloud segment for the week.
23:32
Not that it's going to
23:33
change anything in life.
23:35
It just is something that
23:36
annoys me so much.
23:39
And my wife is probably so
23:40
tired of me yelling about it.
23:43
I thought I would get it off
23:44
my chest here and hopefully
23:45
be able to move on with life.
23:49
So Jay Birch is asking Uber
23:51
or Lyft from OSU.
23:53
Yeah.
23:54
And it's probably a short
23:56
five minute or maybe Jay Birch,
24:04
the trivia nerds these days
24:05
are different than in our day, but it's a,
24:09
it's not just trivia.
24:10
It's about everything.
24:11
Like if you are in an event
24:13
and you're in a competition and,
24:16
You are there because you
24:17
have an ability and you
24:18
want to see how good it is.
24:22
If you take the passive approach,
24:27
it's counterintuitive to
24:28
you being in the competition.
24:33
But again, I am fifty-five years old.
24:35
I am old.
24:36
I am yelling at the clouds.
24:38
I know all of this.
24:39
I am aware of my issues and my problems.
24:44
That's just who I am.
24:48
Just who I am.
24:54
So the other thing I wanted
24:57
to show was Wooly Meemeth
25:03
actually had a great post yesterday.
25:10
for the Masters athletes.
25:12
And you know,
25:12
we love the Masters athletes.
25:14
Jay Birch is talking about
25:15
getting his room for the
25:17
Masters CrossFit Games.
25:21
And the evolution of the
25:23
apparel for Masters
25:24
athletes at the CrossFit
25:25
Games started from two
25:26
thousand eleven to two
25:27
thousand twenty was Reebok
25:28
twenty one to twenty three
25:29
Noble twenty four Northern
25:31
Spirit twenty five Jim Reapers.
25:33
And next year,
25:34
you're just going to get
25:35
some Kohl's cash.
25:37
And I thought that was hilarious.
25:41
And then in the comment, he actually posts,
25:46
Masters ladies better bring
25:48
a roll of quarters to do
25:49
laundry if they don't like
25:50
tights because two pair of
25:51
shorts isn't going to cut it.
25:53
On the plus side,
25:54
they get twenty percent off
25:55
gym reapers if they want to buy apparel.
26:00
So, yeah, and then I think it's here.
26:04
This is what the Masters
26:05
athletes are getting when
26:06
they show up to the CrossFit Games.
26:09
And the men will get four pairs of shorts,
26:12
two tank tops, and two t-shirts.
26:14
Women will get two shorts, two leggings,
26:16
and two women's tank tops,
26:19
and two unisex t-shirts.
26:23
And then the question is answered,
26:25
why aren't we getting
26:26
sports bras due to the wide
26:27
range of styles and preferences?
26:30
We ultimately chose to
26:31
exclude all base layer
26:32
items from the assortment
26:34
to ensure maximum comfort
26:36
for the athletes.
26:39
So, that's crazy to me.
26:47
that cannot be the reason.
26:48
The reason has got to be
26:50
that they only wanted to
26:52
supply so many things.
26:55
Um,
26:59
I can't wait to get Carolyn and Jamie's
27:02
opinions on this since they
27:03
are going to be the athletes who, who are,
27:07
and that's,
27:07
that's the thing that gets me
27:08
like they're required to
27:10
wear these clothes when
27:11
they're on the floor.
27:14
and some assemblance.
27:16
And last year,
27:17
they had to wash them so
27:18
much that stuff was falling.
27:23
The names and the gyms were
27:26
falling off of the clothes.
27:32
Yeah, Shanna, she's a Masters athlete,
27:37
crushes it every year.
27:38
Not like the old days,
27:39
cannot believe no sports bras.
27:42
It just baffles me.
27:50
It's cheap is what it is.
27:51
It's just cheap.
27:55
And I do.
27:55
Shay is right.
27:56
We were spoiled by the Reebok years.
27:59
The Reebok years, they were so good.
28:02
And I love the bright colors.
28:04
I know people give them crap for that.
28:07
You could tell by who was wearing what,
28:10
who they were on the floor
28:12
once things moved.
28:13
And it was so much easier as
28:14
a spectator and a viewer to
28:17
follow the action on the floor.
28:24
Corey says,
28:25
so by the time I make it to the games,
28:26
it'll be a gift card from
28:27
the thrift store.
28:29
Yeah.
28:35
Who knows?
28:37
Maybe you'll be lucky and
28:38
get like one of those PED
28:40
users use shorts and get a little boost.
28:48
Shanna,
28:48
so spoiled Masters athletes felt
28:50
more valued back then.
28:53
Yeah, it's a shame.
28:57
The group of athletes that
28:58
put more money into the
29:00
Open than any other group get the least.
29:06
It's just crazy.
29:12
Uh-huh says,
29:13
I haven't bought anything
29:14
CrossFit related since Reebok.
29:17
I can't say the same,
29:18
but I will say that I bought more.
29:23
Let's be honest.
29:24
I was an addict back then.
29:25
I mean,
29:26
I started CrossFit in two thousand
29:27
eleven.
29:28
I had a good nine years with
29:30
Reebok and I brought bought
29:32
a lot of stuff.
29:36
So.
29:40
Do we know who's sponsoring
29:41
the elites the same?
29:44
I don't believe it's the
29:45
same and it's not Jim Reapers.
29:48
Is it?
29:51
I think I heard it was the
29:52
elites of the light elite.
29:53
I don't know.
29:56
Who knows?
30:02
I trained to live.
30:03
Giving them something is
30:04
better than nothing.
30:05
At least give them something.
30:06
If they don't like it, someone will.
30:13
that's the word I was the
30:14
lights elites has the
30:16
elites I'm pretty sure
30:18
that's what I've heard um
30:20
but I don't I don't know
30:20
what kind of kits they're
30:22
they're putting out I know
30:27
carolyn said on sunday you
30:29
know carolyn doesn't wear
30:31
crop tops and doesn't wear
30:32
booty shorts because she's
30:34
a school teacher and she
30:36
has an image to uphold uh
30:38
for the students and doesn't want to
30:40
do that and she felt like in
30:43
the sizing options that she
30:45
was given that may not be
30:51
she may not have an option
30:52
which is really bad for her
30:59
but it's weird because
31:00
where we are with CrossFit
31:01
now nobody assumes that
31:03
these athletes actually
31:04
have another job you know
31:09
But a lot of these athletes do.
31:13
Lydia Fish, what, twenty years old,
31:15
has another job.
31:17
She's a server at a restaurant.
31:19
Emily Rolfe, x-ray technician.
31:21
Carolyn Prevost, school teacher.
31:25
But I think there's an
31:26
assumption sometimes that
31:27
these athletes don't have that.
31:29
And, Vicky,
31:36
I think they should get to wear
31:37
whatever they want.
31:39
I get the – here's the thing.
31:42
You need the sponsorship dollars.
31:44
You're only going to get the
31:45
sponsorship dollars if the
31:48
athletes wear what the
31:49
sponsor gives them.
31:51
But there should be
31:53
something put in place that
31:56
the sponsor has to supply X, Y,
31:59
and Z for them to do it
32:01
because the athletes need
32:03
enough to wear during the event.
32:08
If it's a three-day event,
32:10
then there should be a
32:11
minimum of X number of shorts,
32:14
X number of tights,
32:16
X number of sports bras,
32:17
X number of shirts.
32:23
You don't want to give away
32:24
the sponsorship dollars
32:26
from these companies coming
32:27
in and sponsoring the games
32:29
to help pay for everything.
32:32
So wearing what they want
32:34
doesn't solve one of the
32:36
problems that CrossFit has.
32:37
We need revenue streaming.
32:39
However,
32:40
you need to make sure that when
32:42
you sign these people to a deal,
32:44
that they supply enough
32:46
clothes for the athletes to wear.
32:55
Wonder if they're giving
32:56
away shoes this year.
32:58
I have not heard if there's
32:59
a shoe sponsor for the
33:01
Masters games or not.
33:09
Corey Leonard,
33:10
fifty percent of why I want
33:11
to make the games is to get
33:12
uniforms to wear forever.
33:14
Right.
33:15
I think, you know, back in the Reebok days,
33:18
people wanted to make the
33:19
games to get the kits
33:21
because that was the trophy.
33:23
That was the trophy to say I
33:25
was a CrossFit Games athlete at one time.
33:31
It wasn't about the money back then.
33:33
It was just, Hey, if I make the games,
33:35
I get all this cool
33:36
clothing that I get to wear
33:38
all year round.
33:39
And I get to show that I was
33:41
one of the fittest,
33:42
this age group in the world.
33:58
Jay Birch says competing four days,
34:00
four sets per athlete's no biggie.
34:04
For you and I who work out once a day,
34:06
but if there's three
34:07
workouts in a day and
34:08
they're doing four days of competition,
34:11
that is a problem.
34:28
Andrew Sten,
34:29
I don't think companies with
34:30
resources like Reebok are
34:31
willing to sponsor CrossFit anymore.
34:35
I don't know.
34:35
I don't know where we are with all that.
34:37
I think we've got to get
34:38
past the Lazar Jukic
34:41
situation from last year,
34:42
and we've got to move forward,
34:44
and then maybe we can get
34:45
some other sponsors.
34:46
But we've got to grow this
34:47
thing before we can even
34:51
talk about that stuff.
35:00
Corey said the gear is
35:01
absolutely the trophy.
35:03
Every former games athlete I
35:04
know personally wears their
35:05
games gear all the time.
35:09
I do not disagree.
35:16
Shay assumed they'll need
35:17
laundry facilities or the
35:19
old hand wash in the sink.
35:22
That is, that is it.
35:25
I know in Birmingham last year,
35:27
there were people that
35:28
looked for hotels that had
35:29
laundry facilities because they were,
35:31
they were last year.
35:32
They were only given two of each thing.
35:36
I think.
35:39
Or like one pair of shorts,
35:40
one pair of tights.
35:42
It was bad last year.
35:43
Really bad.
35:48
If Shannon is still here,
35:49
she can tell you what they got.
35:51
Um,
35:51
since she was one of the athletes there.
35:55
sorry I had a bug fly by me
35:58
um so yeah all right well
36:01
let's finish up with this I
36:02
wrote down the top five
36:04
things I want to see at the
36:06
crossfit games this year so
36:08
we're going to do a top
36:09
five I tried to do it as a
36:11
powerpoint so I could show
36:12
you and reveal it but then
36:14
all this broke at my work
36:17
today and um yeah I never I
36:21
couldn't get it done
36:23
Uh, Shanna says, I think two of each,
36:25
like you said.
36:27
Yeah.
36:29
What's crazy.
36:30
What last thing on the, on the apparel,
36:33
even noble, like took care of people.
36:36
So I don't want it just to be Reebok,
36:38
Reebok, noble, big kits.
36:41
I went to CrossFit players
36:42
when the Christian Aramo
36:44
O'Connell owned it.
36:47
She would come back with so
36:48
much stuff that,
36:50
She would have a box of it
36:52
at the gym and let other
36:54
people grab whatever they
36:56
wanted from it so they
36:57
could have a little piece of games gear.
37:01
She was awesome.
37:02
And when she was a noble
37:03
athlete and Reebok was doing it,
37:04
she couldn't really wear
37:06
the Reebok stuff like in
37:07
her Instagram and stuff
37:08
like that because she was
37:09
contracted to wear the noble.
37:12
So she gave away almost all
37:13
of the Reebok stuff.
37:16
And I thought that was cool too.
37:18
Then the whole gym community
37:20
got to kind of relish in her success.
37:24
And the women were just
37:26
ecstatic about being able
37:27
to grab it and they would
37:29
wear it to the gym all the time as well.
37:37
Uh-huh.
37:37
Says Reebok stuff was so good.
37:39
I disliked the Noble from the start.
37:41
I'm a Reebok customer though.
37:43
Reebok has gotten pretty,
37:48
LTV lifetime value for me.
37:49
There we go.
37:51
Good lifetime value for me.
37:54
Yeah.
37:56
I know Reebok's trying to
37:57
make a comeback on the
37:58
basketball shoe side and
38:00
some other stuff.
38:01
Be nice to see them jump
38:02
back into a little bit of
38:04
CrossFit and help push it.
38:08
But who knows?
38:09
All right.
38:10
Top five things I want to
38:12
see at this year's CrossFit Games.
38:15
Number five,
38:17
I want to see people in the
38:18
stands and I want to see
38:20
people at vendor village.
38:22
quickest way to get some
38:24
sponsors back is to get
38:25
butts in the seats however
38:27
they have to do that I just
38:29
want to see a pretty full
38:30
arena with a packed vendor
38:34
village now from what I'm
38:36
hearing part of vendor
38:37
village is outside of the
38:38
gates of the game so people
38:40
can get to it even if they
38:41
don't have a ticket so I'm
38:43
hoping hoping that vendors
38:45
have a very successful year
38:47
and a lot of people go hang
38:49
out at vendor village this year
38:53
Number four,
38:55
me with enhanced access and
38:58
media credentials to the games.
39:00
I have asked for enhanced access.
39:02
I have not gotten enhanced access.
39:05
I'm praying to get enhanced access.
39:07
I want to do a full on
39:09
behind the scenes with
39:10
Hattie and I want to catch
39:12
some stuff with Carolyn.
39:14
Um,
39:16
And so I'm hoping that this comes,
39:18
but at this point, I'm worried it's not.
39:22
But again, we have a plan B,
39:24
but I'm hoping that I can
39:26
get the enhanced warm-up
39:29
area access for the CrossFit Games.
39:35
Number three is creative programming.
39:38
I want to see the snail out on the floor.
39:41
I want to see the fun odd objects.
39:44
I,
39:44
as much as I love core CrossFit workouts,
39:48
I want to see some of the fun stuff back.
39:50
Even if you're not going outside,
39:52
bring it onto the floor.
39:54
Hell bring out the wheelbarrow again.
39:56
Let's load that up and move
39:58
it back and forth across the floor.
40:01
I want to see fun,
40:02
creative programming again.
40:08
Number two, I want to see good races.
40:12
We've talked about this with
40:13
the Tia comeback that
40:14
everybody thinks that Tia
40:17
is just going to run away
40:18
with the entire thing and
40:20
it's going to be a lopsided victory.
40:23
I just want a good race.
40:25
I think the men are going to give us that.
40:27
It's really tight at the top.
40:30
Um,
40:34
I know Jeff Adler is great.
40:37
We have James Sprague.
40:38
We have Dallin Pepper.
40:39
We have Jason Hopper.
40:41
We have Roman Krennikoff.
40:43
I think we can get some good
40:44
races on the men's side.
40:47
I want more.
40:50
I want a closer race on the women's side,
40:53
whether it's someone
40:55
catches Tia on some stuff or whatever,
40:58
but I just don't want
40:59
another like two hundred
41:00
point victory on the women's side.
41:04
And the number one thing I
41:06
want to see at the CrossFit
41:07
Games is my friends.
41:11
Um,
41:12
I have not been able to get out on the
41:13
road this year to different events.
41:15
Usually I'm at like a couple
41:16
of semifinals by now.
41:18
I've seen a lot of my
41:19
friends this year because
41:21
of just the season of life.
41:23
My wife's two knee replacements,
41:25
my mom's stroke and a bunch
41:27
of things like that.
41:28
Uh, I have not been able to get out there.
41:30
So I'm really dying and have
41:33
so much FOMO to get back on
41:35
the road and see my friends
41:37
at the CrossFit games.
41:39
And then continue that on to
41:41
the Masters CrossFit Games
41:43
where I get to see even
41:44
more of my friends.
41:46
And I can't wait for all of
41:47
that to happen.
41:49
I'm so excited about this.
41:51
One thing I want to clean up
41:52
from yesterday is everybody
41:55
was saying good thing that
41:56
Mama Clydesdale wasn't in the chat.
41:59
Mama Clydesdale was watching yesterday.
42:01
She just was watching on her TV,
42:03
so she wasn't in the chat.
42:04
So I got to have a
42:05
conversation with her last night,
42:07
and that was fun.
42:10
but she actually was cool
42:11
with everything that was said.
42:13
And I just had to explain
42:15
the beginning of the Gooch
42:17
joke and where it all came from,
42:19
and then she was fine.
42:23
Some things from the chat.
42:26
Strongman's fear was a fun one.
42:28
It's so much fun.
42:30
Jay Birch wants to see monkey bars.
42:33
Corey, dude, the wheelbarrow,
42:35
but not the ones that broke.
42:37
Aha says, I want to see outside events.
42:43
Yeah.
42:43
I wanted to see,
42:46
I wanted to see more outside events too.
42:49
I love the snail.
42:51
I love the snail.
42:55
It's so much fun for me to watch.
42:57
I love those odd objects like that.
43:00
But yeah, that's,
43:06
but we're not getting it.
43:07
We're not getting it this year.
43:11
I trained to live.
43:12
Sorry, mom.
43:13
Yeah, she was okay.
43:14
Really.
43:14
She was okay with it.
43:18
Uh, Kenneth,
43:18
the lap with five dollars road
43:20
snack fund.
43:22
Oh, yeah.
43:24
I am going to cut up some veggies.
43:28
I love the crunchy veggie on
43:30
the road trip now.
43:31
That's kind of my go-to thing.
43:33
It keeps me away from pretzels and chips,
43:35
and I just eat peppers and
43:36
cauliflower and carrots.
43:39
That seems to work.
43:41
It's going to be a long drive to Albany,
43:42
but I'm going to do it as a
43:43
drive this year.
43:44
It's probably nine hours up
43:47
and then nine hours back,
43:49
but it should be fun.
43:53
Shana's got to go.
43:56
Hope you have a great rest of your day,
43:57
Shana.
44:00
Corey Leonard wants to see
44:01
chaos or a chaos type event.
44:07
I think that was one of the
44:07
best at all time.
44:09
We talked Friday or Friday,
44:11
Sunday night about our
44:12
favorite top five favorite events.
44:15
Most of them were outdoor events.
44:17
This year,
44:17
we're only getting one outdoor
44:18
event where the rest are
44:19
going to be inside.
44:22
it scares me that so many of
44:25
our favorite events were
44:26
outdoor events and we're
44:28
losing that possibility this year.
44:31
Um,
44:32
but as I saw with what Jr and chase and
44:36
bill and Bryson and Taylor
44:38
did the other night,
44:39
you can be creative indoors.
44:42
Um, you just got to open,
44:44
open your mind to do so.
44:47
They came up with some
44:48
really cool creative ideas.
44:51
Um,
44:52
And what I loved about it is
44:54
they all thought about the
44:56
story it would tell on the floor,
44:58
like how it was set up,
44:59
how it would move up and
45:01
down the floor and how it
45:02
would tell the story.
45:03
I love that they added that
45:04
as part of their thought process.
45:10
Anyway, I just thought that was cool.
45:14
So.
45:17
There we go.
45:17
That's what I want to see at the games.
45:19
It's Friday.
45:20
I'm so glad the week is over.
45:22
It's been a crazy week.
45:25
I've been on fire with some
45:27
rants and some riffs this week.
45:30
Hopefully I can bring the
45:31
heat next week again.
45:33
I think I'm just taking a breath today,
45:35
getting through today's show.
45:38
But yeah, with that,
45:40
we'll be back on Sunday
45:42
night with Sunday Night CrossFit Talk.
45:43
We'll have Carolyn and Jamie.
45:45
Jamie,
45:46
the winner of Beat Bajan on the
45:48
women's side,
45:50
gets to talk to her about that.
45:52
talk about what's been
45:54
happening with Carolyn
45:55
since she has been invited
45:57
to the games and what that
45:59
has all looked like and how
46:01
is that all going?
46:03
And maybe even get into a
46:05
little bit of master's talk.
46:06
Who knows?
46:07
Every time I have a plan for Sunday night,
46:09
something happens over the
46:10
weekend that changes all of it.
46:12
So we will see what happens this weekend.
46:15
But I hope you'll join us
46:16
Sunday night for that.
46:18
And if not, I'll be back here Monday.
46:21

46:23
Clydesdale you knuckleheads
46:25
time to get back to work
46:26

46:27
