  What's going on everybody?
• 0:30
  Welcome to the Clydesdale
• 0:31
  Media Roundtable.
• 0:34
  There are three of us here.
• 0:36
  Yeah.
• 0:36
  You never know when the
• 0:37
  fourth just like pops in.
• 0:38
  You know.
• 0:41
  He's like an enigma.
• 0:42
  It's true.
• 0:46
  So what's going on?
• 0:51
  Well,
• 0:51
  we talked about the over-under on me
• 0:52
  getting a dog, right?
• 0:55
  Yeah, we did.
• 0:59
  What's this?
• 1:01
  This is Dash.
• 1:02
  Oh, my gosh.
• 1:05
  Look at this magic.
• 1:09
  It's called.
• 1:10
  So, OK, so I follow this girl on TikTok.
• 1:13
  Her name, her her name is Amber,
• 1:16
  but her thing is
• 1:17
  disappointing middle child on TikTok.
• 1:19
  And she's trying to open up
• 1:21
  a like rescue sanctuary.
• 1:23
  She lives in Canada and she
• 1:24
  does this as a fundraiser.
• 1:25
  She makes these things
• 1:26
  called homely huggables.
• 1:28
  Yeah.
• 1:28
  And if you give her a picture,
• 1:30
  she will make a like, you know,
• 1:31
  not an exact likeness, obviously,
• 1:33
  but like a caricature of
• 1:35
  whatever it is you want,
• 1:36
  like an animal or whatnot.
• 1:37
  And this is the last one
• 1:39
  that she did because she's
• 1:40
  taking a little break.
• 1:42
  But this is Dash.
• 1:43
  Look,
• 1:43
  she got like the freckles on his ear
• 1:45
  and everything.
• 1:46
  And so I love him so much.
• 1:47
  So the funniest thing was that Amy,
• 1:52
  when you said this is Dash,
• 1:54
  you actually had this look
• 1:55
  on her face like, did she kill him?
• 1:58
  No, I was like, did you, I mean,
• 2:00
  it was hard to distinguish
• 2:01
  if I was looking at
• 2:02
  something like taxidermy type thing.
• 2:07
  I tell you what, I considered it for sure.
• 2:11
  It was not out of the realm
• 2:12
  of possibilities,
• 2:12
  but this was like a close second.
• 2:14
  So yeah, this is Dash.
• 2:16
  Isn't he cute?
• 2:17
  Yes.
• 2:18
  I actually saw your Tik TOK.
• 2:20
  So when like popped open,
• 2:22
  I was dying inside,
• 2:26
  but I knew what you were holding.
• 2:28
  So I'm literally, it's also,
• 2:29
  I feel like my screen is small.
• 2:30
  I'm like,
• 2:31
  I literally cannot decipher what
• 2:33
  I'm looking at.
• 2:33
  All right.
• 2:34
  I'll put them back on my chair, but yes.
• 2:37
  So it is a replica.
• 2:40
  Yes.
• 2:41
  It's a stuffy.
• 2:42
  It's a stuffy.
• 2:43
  Yep.
• 2:44
  A stuffy of dash man-made.
• 2:46
  Yeah.
• 2:47
  That that's worth the whole
• 2:49
  show right there.
• 2:49
  Seeing Amy's reaction.
• 2:50
  I can go about the rest of my day.
• 2:55
  A happy man.
• 2:57
  clip that it is like
• 3:01
  yesterday our friend was
• 3:02
  telling us he has
• 3:03
  woodpecker problems which I
• 3:04
  am having as well and he
• 3:06
  bought a fake barn owl to
• 3:09
  put on the front of his
• 3:10
  house to scare the
• 3:11
  woodpecker away because he
• 3:13
  read that on the internet
• 3:14
  that that works and he sent
• 3:16
  us a video of the barn owl
• 3:19
  and the woodpecker pecking
• 3:21
  his face off so it's
• 3:24
  working like a charm oh yeah
• 3:29
  Yeah.
• 3:29
  Yeah.
• 3:29
  But at least he's pecking
• 3:31
  the owl and not the actual house.
• 3:34
  Yeah.
• 3:35
  Yeah.
• 3:36
  But the column on my front porch is,
• 3:38
  it looks terrible.
• 3:40
  I mean, they're like destroying it.
• 3:42
  Speaking of TikTok,
• 3:43
  I saw this whole TikTok
• 3:44
  thing where some contractor
• 3:46
  came into somebody's house
• 3:47
  because they were hearing
• 3:48
  noise like between their walls.
• 3:50
  And it was like three hundred pounds of
• 3:54
  acorns from a woodpecker
• 3:57
  pecking and stuffing it
• 3:58
  inside the house really yes
• 4:01
  like it was like it looked
• 4:03
  like it was bugs coming up
• 4:04
  and at first like when he
• 4:05
  made the hole and then it
• 4:06
  was like all these acorns
• 4:08
  yeah I didn't know
• 4:10
  woodpeckers did that it's crazy
• 4:14
  Well, I think, well,
• 4:15
  and Amy knows that this is true,
• 4:17
  but my wife is convinced
• 4:19
  that I am the crazy old man
• 4:21
  on the street now.
• 4:21
  Oh yeah.
• 4:22
  I was going to ask you to
• 4:23
  bring that up because I
• 4:24
  think that's a good conversation.
• 4:25
  Because every time the woodpecker pecks,
• 4:28
  I run out the front door and I'm like,
• 4:30
  get out of here.
• 4:31
  That's what I do too.
• 4:33
  When the woodpecker pecks.
• 4:35
  He's like,
• 4:36
  she's all of our neighbors think
• 4:39
  you're the crazy old man
• 4:40
  that just shout at the clouds.
• 4:43
  Well,
• 4:45
  he said he was really leaning into
• 4:46
  the grumpy old man and I
• 4:48
  told him he was nailing it.
• 4:49
  Yeah.
• 4:52
  That's my, that's my new MO.
• 4:54
  Yep.
• 4:54
  If kids get on your lawn,
• 4:55
  you're going to yell at them to say,
• 4:56
  get off my lawn.
• 4:58
  Exactly.
• 5:00
  Well, I feel sad for me.
• 5:03
  We have kids that like run
• 5:04
  through our backyard.
• 5:05
  Yeah.
• 5:06
  Playing guns and whatever.
• 5:08
  And there is something about
• 5:10
  it that just bugs me.
• 5:13
  Let it go, bro.
• 5:13
  You got more important shit to do.
• 5:17
  It's not like I run out and yell at them,
• 5:18
  but... You're one step away
• 5:20
  from it is what I'm saying.
• 5:22
  I have to fight the urge.
• 5:27
  Then they're going to be like,
• 5:28
  watch out for old man
• 5:29
  Schweitzer's house over there.
• 5:31
  Yep.
• 5:32
  And then of course my wife
• 5:33
  is like the nicest person
• 5:35
  who talks to everybody in
• 5:36
  the neighborhood.
• 5:37
  And so they're all like,
• 5:39
  what's she doing with him?
• 5:40
  Yeah.
• 5:41
  Yeah.
• 5:46
  What's happening?
• 5:47
  I don't like that camera.
• 5:48
  Nevermind.
• 5:48
  I was like, what's happening?
• 5:49
  What are we doing?
• 5:50
  I got two cameras going.
• 5:52
  Yeah.
• 5:52
  The one.
• 5:52
  Yeah.
• 5:53
  Okay.
• 5:55
  Okay.
• 5:55
  Wow.
• 5:55
  I just felt really small.
• 6:00
  So yeah,
• 6:01
  Um, I know that Amy,
• 6:03
  a lot of rogue this week, but,
• 6:05
  and I know cat watch some,
• 6:06
  so I just wanted to give your it's over.
• 6:09
  Uh,
• 6:10
  we had it in Scotland overseas for the
• 6:12
  first time,
• 6:13
  just overall impressions that
• 6:14
  you had with rogue.
• 6:18
  I love the events.
• 6:20
  I thought they were great.
• 6:22
  Super fun to watch.
• 6:24
  Um, the coverage was pretty decent.
• 6:29
  I paid the twenty five
• 6:30
  dollars and did not get to
• 6:31
  use the twenty five dollar
• 6:33
  features all weekend
• 6:36
  because I didn't know how to get to them.
• 6:39
  And I haven't tried it yet.
• 6:40
  I assume I can go back and
• 6:41
  look at stuff now that it's over.
• 6:44
  So I'll have to check that
• 6:45
  out if I have some time.
• 6:46
  But I thought it was good.
• 6:48
  I thought, you know,
• 6:49
  I thought the Laura Horvath,
• 6:51
  Christophe Horvath.
• 6:53
  What's the whole beef with Gabby?
• 6:55
  Just I don't know,
• 6:56
  like if I like it or hate it.
• 7:00
  Fill me in on the beef.
• 7:01
  I mean,
• 7:01
  I just feel like there are any details,
• 7:02
  but yeah.
• 7:04
  So, so when the,
• 7:06
  the tragedy happened at the games,
• 7:07
  got it.
• 7:08
  Laura withdrew.
• 7:09
  Yeah.
• 7:10
  Kristoff's team withdrew.
• 7:11
  Correct.
• 7:12
  They left Dodge.
• 7:14
  Yeah.
• 7:14
  Gabby decided to stay.
• 7:16
  Correct.
• 7:17
  So Gabby and Kristoff were a couple.
• 7:21
  Ah, okay.
• 7:23
  Laura and Gabby were
• 7:24
  training partners and what
• 7:26
  by all accounts, best friends.
• 7:28
  okay they left she stayed
• 7:33
  ever since no communicato
• 7:35
  okay right we we presume
• 7:38
  right like we're we're
• 7:40
  making up this story but
• 7:41
  based on all accounts of
• 7:43
  what we've observed that
• 7:44
  it's true absolutely no
• 7:46
  interaction on the floor rogue okay
• 7:50
  In an interview with Patrick
• 7:52
  Clark on Be Friendly Fitness, Gabby said,
• 7:55
  since the game, she found a new person.
• 7:58
  And that new person is a badass.
• 8:01
  And it's a new discovery
• 8:03
  that she is still getting
• 8:05
  to know that person.
• 8:07
  she's really excited to get
• 8:09
  to know her and that is
• 8:10
  herself just a new version
• 8:12
  of herself yeah yeah yeah
• 8:14
  um which all of this all of
• 8:18
  this data kind of leads to
• 8:20
  there's a beef she's she's
• 8:22
  out on her own she's doing
• 8:24
  her own thing yeah
• 8:25
  discovered a whole new
• 8:26
  gabby and before she got
• 8:29
  injured at rogue she looked
• 8:31
  like a whole new gabby she looked
• 8:35
  amazing as an athlete like
• 8:37
  just crushing it it was the
• 8:39
  gabby laura tia show you
• 8:41
  know up until that last day
• 8:43
  for sure yeah I was really
• 8:45
  excited for her and then
• 8:47
  and then it just you know I
• 8:48
  don't know like laura's
• 8:49
  wearing like a pearl
• 8:49
  necklace like while she's
• 8:50
  competing and yeah it's
• 8:53
  kind of weird like a pearl
• 8:54
  choker that's weird that's
• 8:56
  really weird and she and
• 8:57
  christoph their their
• 8:58
  instagrams are like just
• 9:00
  their captions are odd
• 9:03
  yeah she's been doing it
• 9:03
  like a lot of like
• 9:04
  journaling it looks like
• 9:05
  and then posting her
• 9:06
  journal thoughts I don't
• 9:09
  know well her interviews
• 9:10
  got a lot of press too
• 9:14
  because like people asked
• 9:17
  her about her kiki asked
• 9:18
  her about her um climbing
• 9:20
  experience and helping her
• 9:21
  with the pegboard and she's
• 9:23
  like I'm tired of you guys
• 9:24
  asking me about that and like like it was
• 9:31
  She was very blunt in all
• 9:33
  these post interviews.
• 9:37
  But I think that's also a
• 9:38
  character that has become
• 9:40
  Laura and that's,
• 9:42
  and maybe just like my
• 9:43
  grumpy old man character,
• 9:45
  she's leaning into that as well.
• 9:47
  Right.
• 9:47
  Like the Colton Mertens, you know,
• 9:49
  talking shit thing.
• 9:51
  Maybe it's, yeah, I'm okay with it.
• 9:53
  I guess it's just,
• 9:54
  it was surprising to me.
• 9:57
  I wasn't okay with it.
• 9:58
  Like talking smack.
• 9:59
  I, I,
• 10:00
  I lose a bit of support for it when
• 10:03
  it's attacking the person
• 10:04
  interviewing you, just doing a job.
• 10:06
  Right.
• 10:06
  Yeah.
• 10:11
  But I would agree.
• 10:12
  I liked most of the events.
• 10:13
  I did not like the final event.
• 10:15
  Grace was saying bags didn't
• 10:17
  not interest me at all.
• 10:19
  And I thought it would,
• 10:20
  but when I watched it play out, it just,
• 10:23
  it kind of fell blah.
• 10:25
  That was the standby clean sprint, right?
• 10:27
  Ladder.
• 10:28
  Yeah, it was great.
• 10:29
  It was thirty cleaning jerks.
• 10:30
  Who did all the program?
• 10:32
  I missed that one.
• 10:34
  Well, it wasn't a jerk.
• 10:35
  It was cleans.
• 10:36
  But you had to stop and put the arm out.
• 10:39
  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 10:39
  And then move forward with a heavier bag.
• 10:42
  The programing was Spieler,
• 10:44
  Bridges and Katie.
• 10:46
  And can we talk about what
• 10:49
  happened with James Sprague
• 10:51
  flipping off the crowd or something?
• 10:54
  I think that was a rumor.
• 10:55
  Okay.
• 10:57
  I think he was interviewed
• 10:57
  about it in city.
• 10:58
  That did not happen.
• 10:59
  Okay.
• 11:00
  I was, that's why I was curious.
• 11:03
  I felt that for James, just because,
• 11:05
  you know,
• 11:05
  coming off of his win at the
• 11:07
  games and sort of having
• 11:08
  something to prove because
• 11:10
  people saying that, you know,
• 11:11
  it wasn't really a true
• 11:12
  test and he's a one hit
• 11:13
  wonder kind of a thing.
• 11:14
  And then he gets pneumonia.
• 11:15
  So it's like, he can't really,
• 11:17
  he had pneumonia a week ago
• 11:19
  or a week before the competition.
• 11:21
  So we didn't really have any,
• 11:24
  people that didn't know that
• 11:25
  had very high expectations
• 11:26
  of him and were probably
• 11:27
  talking like why is he you
• 11:29
  know second half of the
• 11:31
  pack did any performance
• 11:34
  surprise you like that they
• 11:36
  didn't perform as well as
• 11:37
  you would have expected um
• 11:41
  pat velner but I heard that
• 11:42
  he wasn't feeling very well
• 11:44
  he was sick justin madaris
• 11:46
  how about female you
• 11:49
  actually won an event
• 11:52
  But did not do well in the
• 11:54
  overall competition.
• 11:55
  He clearly did not showcase
• 11:58
  his top end strength.
• 11:59
  He did not.
• 12:03
  Vindication after all these years.
• 12:05
  Right.
• 12:07
  I was pleasantly surprised
• 12:09
  with Danny Spiegel.
• 12:12
  If it wasn't for a penalty in the duel,
• 12:15
  I think she would have had
• 12:16
  a top five performance.
• 12:18
  How about Sidney Wells?
• 12:19
  Yes.
• 12:21
  still like that damn muscle
• 12:23
  up my god I know but I
• 12:24
  still feel like she did
• 12:25
  better than I expected for
• 12:27
  her to for her for a year
• 12:29
  at rogue I thought she did
• 12:30
  pretty great yeah I mean
• 12:34
  it's just it's frustrating
• 12:35
  when you it's just like
• 12:36
  laura she she bombed the
• 12:38
  handstand push-up yeah well
• 12:41
  I mean the muscle up like
• 12:43
  it's just I remember when
• 12:45
  brooke bombed muscle ups mm-hmm regional
• 12:52
  you're like, come on.
• 12:53
  Yeah,
• 12:55
  but Sydney's issue was more around
• 12:57
  the wood, the log.
• 12:59
  Oh, no.
• 13:00
  She took last place in the
• 13:01
  one with the ring.
• 13:02
  Oh, and the ring muscles, too.
• 13:02
  Okay.
• 13:02
  I clearly wasn't paying attention to that.
• 13:08
  A lot of people struggled with that.
• 13:09
  And Jason Hopper, for three years in a row,
• 13:12
  has struggled with the log muscle-up.
• 13:15
  And again this year.
• 13:16
  And he finished his third.
• 13:18
  What would his finish have
• 13:19
  been if he would have...
• 13:21
  Right, if you had mastered that by now.
• 13:23
  Yeah, I saw the women's podium,
• 13:25
  but I know Adler won,
• 13:27
  but I didn't see second and third.
• 13:32
  Who was second?
• 13:33
  Brent Fikowski and then Jason Hopper.
• 13:35
  And Dallin Pepper was up there too, right?
• 13:37
  Was he fourth or fifth?
• 13:40
  Yeah, somewhere in there.
• 13:44
  it's funny because a week after it,
• 13:45
  like I enjoyed watching it.
• 13:47
  I had a good time watching it, but,
• 13:49
  but thinking back,
• 13:50
  I don't have like a lot of
• 13:51
  distinct memories from it.
• 13:52
  You know, you know what I mean?
• 13:55
  Like, like I said,
• 13:58
  I've said this a million times.
• 13:59
  He just looked majestic.
• 14:02
  Like when he,
• 14:04
  when he's in his home run event,
• 14:07
  he looks so good.
• 14:08
  All right guys, I have to go.
• 14:10
  It's good to see you.
• 14:11
  Bye.
• 14:16
  But other than that,
• 14:20
  not a lot of memorable things.
• 14:22
  But I thought it was a good competition.
• 14:26
  I see Jenny's in the chat.
• 14:28
  She brought up the fact that Laura,
• 14:30
  in one of her post-event interviews,
• 14:33
  dogged the American crowds
• 14:36
  at American events because
• 14:38
  of what happened.
• 14:39
  But you and I were at that
• 14:41
  first Rogue event.
• 14:43
  It was packed, and it was loud.
• 14:45
  yeah and she pointed that
• 14:48
  out in a in a post she made
• 14:50
  um that done in the right
• 14:54
  way it can be done that way
• 14:55
  here too it was a much
• 14:57
  smaller venue and yes it
• 14:59
  was full and yes it was
• 15:00
  loud but I think CrossFit
• 15:02
  one of their biggest
• 15:03
  mistakes here in the states
• 15:04
  is they don't go to the
• 15:06
  smaller venue they they try
• 15:09
  to go to these bigger
• 15:10
  venues and then they're half full
• 15:13
  when I think they should
• 15:14
  look for some smaller
• 15:15
  venues while we're trying
• 15:17
  to grow the sport so that
• 15:18
  it appears bigger better to
• 15:23
  have a sellout at a smaller
• 15:24
  venue than a half full
• 15:27
  crowd at a bigger venue
• 15:28
  yeah yeah true but one one
• 15:35
  thing I wanted to get uh
• 15:36
  your opinion on is
• 15:38
  we've got you've been with
• 15:40
  me when we've interviewed
• 15:40
  Brent on the show yeah this
• 15:43
  was his last competitive
• 15:44
  event as he's retiring uh
• 15:47
  to focus on the pfaa yep
• 15:50
  get into the pfa in a
• 15:51
  second um just I wanted
• 15:54
  I've I've talked about my
• 15:55
  experience with Brent and
• 15:57
  him retiring and how I felt
• 15:59
  about interviewing him and
• 16:00
  how cool he was to us get
• 16:02
  your impressions of Brent
• 16:04
  as this is his last event
• 16:07
  how I feel about him
• 16:07
  retiring or just about him in general?
• 16:09
  All of it.
• 16:11
  I love him.
• 16:11
  I mean, I always have.
• 16:12
  I've, I think he is completely,
• 16:15
  he's one of the most consistent athletes.
• 16:18
  Um,
• 16:21
  like driven clearly.
• 16:23
  I mean,
• 16:24
  you have to have a certain amount
• 16:25
  of drive to be able to
• 16:25
  compete at that high level
• 16:26
  for this amount of time.
• 16:29
  There's been times when, you know,
• 16:30
  when I've watched him where I'm like, ah,
• 16:31
  I wish he would just go by
• 16:32
  feel and be a little bit less analytical,
• 16:35
  you know,
• 16:36
  because I think that there's
• 16:37
  times when I'm like, I think he could,
• 16:40
  could go harder or, you know, like,
• 16:44
  but that, that's just being a, you know,
• 16:47
  couch watcher versus you
• 16:50
  know being there
• 16:51
  necessarily and um knowing
• 16:54
  him personally that way but
• 16:57
  I mean I I think he's done
• 16:58
  a lot for for crossfit and
• 17:01
  um I'll miss watching him
• 17:04
  because I always look
• 17:05
  forward to to it and I mean
• 17:07
  to be at that high level
• 17:10
  I mean,
• 17:10
  to be that high on the leaderboard
• 17:12
  for so many years,
• 17:14
  I think it's impressive.
• 17:15
  And, you know, I know people will comment,
• 17:17
  well, but he's never won, but like,
• 17:19
  but how many second and
• 17:20
  third places has he had or top ten,
• 17:23
  you know?
• 17:25
  Six top fours.
• 17:26
  Yeah.
• 17:28
  So, I mean, that's not for nothing.
• 17:31
  Right.
• 17:32
  You know?
• 17:32
  Yeah.
• 17:34
  And I commented that, you know,
• 17:37
  when we interview him our
• 17:38
  discussions with him are
• 17:39
  longer after than when
• 17:43
  they're on yeah very much
• 17:45
  giving of his time and
• 17:47
  mentoring and very much
• 17:49
  with with whatever we
• 17:50
  needed and I will always
• 17:52
  appreciate that with him
• 17:53
  absolutely yeah I've always
• 17:56
  enjoyed talking with him um
• 17:58
  and just to kind of see
• 17:59
  like see how his brain
• 18:00
  works too you know I think
• 18:01
  is is fascinating and um
• 18:05
  So I'm excited to see what
• 18:08
  will happen next because I
• 18:09
  think he's going to still
• 18:10
  be a big player and
• 18:11
  contributor into the sport.
• 18:15
  For sure,
• 18:16
  I think he's also a very humble
• 18:20
  athlete for doing so well.
• 18:22
  The last thing I want to say
• 18:24
  is on one of the times
• 18:25
  where we interviewed him,
• 18:26
  we finished the interview,
• 18:27
  and he started talking to us.
• 18:29
  And at that time,
• 18:30
  he was doing laps in his
• 18:31
  garage gym while talking to us.
• 18:34
  We talked for over an hour.
• 18:35
  Yeah.
• 18:36
  I don't know how many steps he got,
• 18:38
  but he did laps around his
• 18:40
  garage gym the entire hour plus.
• 18:44
  We talked to him afterwards,
• 18:45
  which was insane.
• 18:47
  Mm-hmm.
• 18:51
  um but that was just a fun
• 18:52
  story um uh back to the
• 18:56
  rogue thing uh jenny says
• 18:58
  rogue only had about five
• 18:59
  thousand seats they built
• 19:00
  that out it was perfect and
• 19:03
  indoor makes it far more
• 19:04
  spectator friendly yeah
• 19:08
  yeah so um I wanna I wanna
• 19:11
  go from brent the athlete
• 19:13
  who brent the pfa and he
• 19:15
  actually posted this video today okay um
• 19:19
  As the PFA have been putting
• 19:21
  out some stuff to maybe try
• 19:23
  to clear up some stuff.
• 19:25
  Okay.
• 19:26
  But today they are actually voting.
• 19:29
  And I'm going to go ahead
• 19:30
  and play this so you can hear it.
• 19:33
  We're looking forward to
• 19:34
  seeing the results of this election.
• 19:35
  Very exciting time right now.
• 19:37
  The PFA is voting in the new
• 19:39
  board of directors.
• 19:40
  So this is a reminder video.
• 19:42
  Check your email.
• 19:43
  If you are an eligible athlete for the PFA,
• 19:45
  a voting member, check those emails.
• 19:47
  Go in there right now.
• 19:48
  You don't have much time.
• 19:50
  Open up that phone and vote.
• 19:51
  Only takes a second.
• 19:52
  You can do it on your phone.
• 19:54
  Active competing athletes at
• 19:55
  the highest level of the
• 19:56
  sport voting in a board of directors,
• 19:58
  their peers, to represent them,
• 20:00
  to set the vision for the PFA.
• 20:02
  And then the executive committee,
• 20:03
  including myself,
• 20:04
  are going to work really
• 20:05
  hard to execute on that mission.
• 20:07
  Really looking forward to
• 20:08
  seeing the results of this election.
• 20:11
  So that came out this morning.
• 20:12
  Yesterday,
• 20:13
  I'm going to try to get to that.
• 20:15
  They posted this because
• 20:18
  we've been asking this
• 20:19
  question for the last few months.
• 20:22
  How is our athlete board elected?
• 20:26
  And this, okay.
• 20:29
  So it starts with eligible
• 20:31
  voting members are identified,
• 20:33
  meaning who is in the PFAA,
• 20:35
  who are the eligible voting members?
• 20:37
  They're identified.
• 20:39
  Then they are sent an invite
• 20:41
  to join the PFAA.
• 20:45
  After that,
• 20:46
  the voting members must accept
• 20:47
  the invitation in writing.
• 20:52
  After that,
• 20:53
  the voting members elect the
• 20:54
  board of directors, the athlete board.
• 20:58
  Then the athlete board makes
• 21:00
  the decisions to advance
• 21:01
  the PFAA's mission and goals.
• 21:04
  So that athlete decides what
• 21:06
  their priorities are and
• 21:07
  they make a list.
• 21:09
  Then once the athlete board does that,
• 21:11
  they select an executive
• 21:12
  committee to run the
• 21:14
  day-to-day operations of the PFAA.
• 21:17
  The executive committee
• 21:18
  executes and facilitates
• 21:19
  communication back to voting members.
• 21:23
  don't know about you but
• 21:24
  that just seems really like
• 21:26
  a lot and my questions I
• 21:30
  have a lot of questions in
• 21:31
  this once you identify who
• 21:33
  the voting members are and
• 21:34
  you send out an invitation
• 21:37
  how many get lost from the
• 21:38
  invite to the acceptance section
• 21:44
  Because I work for a state government.
• 21:47
  I know all about red tape.
• 21:48
  I know all about like long
• 21:50
  lists of things to do to get eligible.
• 21:53
  You work for an educational
• 21:56
  facility that has to go
• 21:58
  through all of your steps
• 22:00
  to stay licensed and meet
• 22:04
  all the requirements, right?
• 22:06
  All that red tape.
• 22:07
  Whenever there's a ton of red tape,
• 22:08
  you've got to be losing
• 22:10
  people along the way.
• 22:17
  so you're yours so okay your
• 22:20
  focus on this is if I'm
• 22:23
  hearing you correctly is
• 22:26
  that seems like so many
• 22:27
  steps that you must be
• 22:28
  losing interest people you
• 22:32
  must be losing possible
• 22:33
  voting members because I do
• 22:34
  remember in some of their
• 22:36
  interviews they said of the
• 22:40
  I'm just throwing a number I
• 22:41
  don't know the exact
• 22:42
  numbers so like of the
• 22:43
  hundred eligible to vote
• 22:46
  sixty voted okay right yeah
• 22:49
  so is that because you lot
• 22:51
  they got lost in the
• 22:52
  invitation process or
• 22:54
  because they they chose not
• 22:56
  to participate like that's
• 22:58
  what it would be very
• 23:00
  interesting to me sure but
• 23:03
  I think what one of the
• 23:04
  things you've been asking though
• 23:06
  what you're getting is more
• 23:09
  transparency or about how things are,
• 23:11
  decisions are made.
• 23:13
  Yeah.
• 23:13
  It's a, it's very vague.
• 23:15
  Um, but sure.
• 23:19
  But it also shows,
• 23:20
  I think that the executive
• 23:21
  committee are the ones
• 23:23
  doing all of the decision-making,
• 23:24
  all of the meetings,
• 23:25
  all of the stuff at the end.
• 23:27
  It's almost like a
• 23:28
  presidential election where
• 23:30
  we vote for a delegate,
• 23:32
  the delegates then,
• 23:34
  then register their votes.
• 23:36
  Then we get president house
• 23:38
  representative Senate,
• 23:40
  and they're the ones that
• 23:41
  kind of make all the decisions.
• 23:46
  Like it doesn't come back to us,
• 23:47
  the citizens for a vote again.
• 23:51
  right they just make the
• 23:52
  decisions and move forward
• 23:57
  where this is you have
• 23:59
  members they vote on a
• 24:02
  committee on an athlete
• 24:03
  board that athlete board
• 24:05
  then selects an executive
• 24:06
  committee that executive
• 24:08
  committee then runs the
• 24:09
  show yeah based on a
• 24:14
  platform that the athlete board sets up
• 24:17
  But see, it makes sense to me, though.
• 24:19
  Otherwise,
• 24:20
  that's a lot of individual
• 24:28
  decision-making and a lot of,
• 24:31
  I don't know.
• 24:36
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 24:37
  I don't know.
• 24:41
  I think maybe I'm just a control freak,
• 24:43
  and this method is giving
• 24:47
  all the control to other people.
• 24:55
  And I'm really... I really
• 24:57
  don't think... It says that
• 24:59
  eligible members,
• 25:01
  but we don't have a
• 25:02
  definition of who that is.
• 25:04
  We know now through...
• 25:07
  lot of questions that it is
• 25:08
  not team athletes it is not
• 25:10
  re it is not semi-final
• 25:12
  athletes it is just
• 25:14
  athletes who make the games
• 25:16
  on the individual side but
• 25:18
  we we still don't know
• 25:20
  though how much power pfaa
• 25:22
  has in like sure that we
• 25:25
  have this organization but
• 25:26
  how much power do they have
• 25:30
  I think that's that I think
• 25:32
  all of the stuff I'm saying
• 25:33
  is why they don't have a lot of power
• 25:36
  Because we don't know who
• 25:37
  they are and who they represent.
• 25:42
  Right?
• 25:42
  They say we represent all the athletes.
• 25:44
  Well, they don't.
• 25:45
  They only have eligible
• 25:46
  members that are individual
• 25:48
  athletes at the highest
• 25:50
  level is their term.
• 25:54
  We know teams aren't represented,
• 25:55
  yet they go through the same safety,
• 25:58
  competitive issues that the
• 26:00
  individual athletes go through.
• 26:03
  We know masters and teens go
• 26:05
  through the same stuff.
• 26:06
  We know that semifinal
• 26:07
  athletes trying to get to
• 26:08
  that next level suffer from
• 26:10
  all that stuff,
• 26:11
  but they're not part of a
• 26:13
  voting member to give their say.
• 26:20
  Well, any fashion.
• 26:22
  Well, I think we got to,
• 26:23
  I think we got to sit back and let this,
• 26:27
  let this, you know, build.
• 26:32
  Let it grow.
• 26:34
  See what happens.
• 26:37
  I'm hoping with Brent
• 26:38
  retiring that we get more
• 26:40
  information with a little
• 26:42
  more detail as to who they represent.
• 26:44
  Yeah.
• 26:45
  And again,
• 26:46
  I've said this over and over again.
• 26:47
  I want athletes to have
• 26:48
  representation and to have
• 26:50
  a say in things.
• 26:52
  But when it's come about in
• 26:54
  this way that's so vague and so
• 26:59
  such a small part partition
• 27:01
  of the main group I don't
• 27:04
  know how much say they're
• 27:05
  really going to have that's
• 27:11
  all yeah yeah and I'm just
• 27:15
  looking at it saying I
• 27:16
  think it just needs we it
• 27:17
  needs time so like I mean
• 27:21
  curious to watch it yeah
• 27:28
  and then again like we need
• 27:31
  somebody because right like
• 27:32
  right now crossfit's not
• 27:33
  saying anything and if you
• 27:34
  haven't seen the meme that
• 27:36
  peter from coffee pods and
• 27:37
  wads put out it's basically
• 27:39
  drunk history like the guy
• 27:41
  on tiktok that's like a
• 27:42
  drunk guy picking
• 27:43
  containers right yeah um
• 27:45
  like it's him going the
• 27:47
  decision making of crossfit
• 27:50
  Like, well,
• 27:51
  we don't have the we have the
• 27:54
  results of the third party investigation,
• 27:56
  but let's hold off on
• 27:58
  releasing that till after.
• 27:59
  Yeah.
• 28:00
  They get to Thanksgiving and
• 28:01
  eat the turkey and they're not so sad.
• 28:04
  Right.
• 28:04
  Yeah.
• 28:04
  You know, like.
• 28:08
  I feel like that's really
• 28:09
  what's happening at
• 28:10
  crossfit hq it's like some
• 28:12
  drunk guy just making silly
• 28:14
  decisions and we don't have
• 28:16
  anything there because we
• 28:18
  do have a final me report
• 28:22
  um that did say that the
• 28:24
  cause of death was drowning
• 28:26
  and it was accidental okay
• 28:31
  but we don't have the third
• 28:32
  party investigation and
• 28:34
  then crossfit made all
• 28:35
  these promises but haven't
• 28:36
  said a word yeah
• 28:39
  um and so yeah it's been
• 28:42
  it's been over three months
• 28:43
  right yeah august september
• 28:48
  october yeah it has just
• 28:50
  just been over three ninety
• 28:51
  days yeah and all the while
• 29:00
  none of us get to plan for
• 29:01
  next season because we have
• 29:02
  no idea what's happening yeah
• 29:05
  nobody can make plans nobody
• 29:07
  can make travel
• 29:09
  arrangements nobody can do
• 29:10
  anything because they don't
• 29:12
  even know where the games
• 29:13
  are going to be next year
• 29:14
  no no and the rumors are
• 29:17
  that that even HQ doesn't
• 29:18
  know right like and in in
• 29:21
  the Peter drunk history one
• 29:24
  he's like well we don't
• 29:24
  want to go back to Texas
• 29:26
  anywhere but Texas yeah shoot oh
• 29:32
  And I know that that is
• 29:33
  parody and not true,
• 29:37
  but it almost seems a bit real as well.
• 29:39
  Yeah.
• 29:39
  I would agree with that.
• 29:46
  so um yeah it's going to be
• 29:48
  a mess and it feels like
• 29:50
  we're at the end of a
• 29:51
  season now now that rogue
• 29:52
  is done I totally agree and
• 29:55
  now we're waiting on what
• 29:57
  what is to come and what is
• 30:00
  the avalanche going to be
• 30:01
  of information is will
• 30:03
  morad's thing going to be
• 30:04
  able to take off is
• 30:06
  somebody else going to be
• 30:07
  able to step in or you know
• 30:10
  what the hell is going to happen yeah
• 30:13
  And you have all these
• 30:14
  athletes around with like
• 30:15
  the teens and the masters
• 30:16
  and the teams that are like
• 30:19
  playing second fiddle to wait.
• 30:21
  What are the elite
• 30:21
  individuals going to do?
• 30:22
  And can we even be a part of season?
• 30:25
  Yeah.
• 30:30
  So that's crazy.
• 30:32
  It is.
• 30:35
  But I was thinking about
• 30:37
  that the other day.
• 30:39
  Remember when they leaked
• 30:40
  that it was leaked that the
• 30:42
  investigation was coming out soon?
• 30:44
  And that was like three weeks ago.
• 30:47
  Yeah, I think over a month ago.
• 30:49
  October seventh was the leak date.
• 30:50
  Okay, yeah.
• 30:51
  Well, yeah.
• 30:52
  So we're not there yet.
• 30:56
  Yeah.
• 30:58
  The last thing I was going to ask is,
• 31:01
  and I was hoping Charlie would be on,
• 31:03
  but speaking of crazy,
• 31:05
  This weekend we have the big
• 31:07
  Netflix extravaganza.
• 31:09
  Oh, boy.
• 31:12
  With Mike Tyson versus Jake Paul.
• 31:14
  Oh, yeah.
• 31:14
  It's finally happening.
• 31:18
  Yeah.
• 31:18
  Is your family going to watch?
• 31:21
  Probably not.
• 31:22
  No?
• 31:23
  Probably not.
• 31:26
  But I can't guarantee that,
• 31:27
  but I'm just guessing now.
• 31:30
  I was a kid I watched every
• 31:31
  mike tyson fight like I
• 31:32
  think we'll enjoy the clips
• 31:34
  on tick tock after and then
• 31:38
  a couple years ago he
• 31:38
  fought roy jones jr and I
• 31:41
  watched that and it was a
• 31:43
  utter disappointment like
• 31:45
  it really looked like two
• 31:46
  old guys trying to fight is
• 31:50
  this friday or saturday you
• 31:51
  said saturday I think it's saturday
• 31:56
  but it's like,
• 31:57
  it's a mega payout and they
• 31:58
  actually have it sanctioned.
• 32:00
  It's a real,
• 32:00
  like it'll go on their records, uh,
• 32:03
  for pro boxing.
• 32:04
  It's going to be legit.
• 32:06
  Um,
• 32:06
  I don't know if the fight will be any
• 32:08
  good.
• 32:09
  Um, Corey says, Jake Paul better have his,
• 32:13
  uh, affairs in order.
• 32:18
  So I, I, uh,
• 32:19
  I was looking at a critic
• 32:21
  today who was taught, who looked at their,
• 32:23
  um,
• 32:25
  warm up stuff, their,
• 32:26
  their training stuff.
• 32:27
  Yeah.
• 32:27
  And basically Jake Paul has
• 32:29
  no technical expertise.
• 32:31
  He just uses like size and power.
• 32:34
  Yeah.
• 32:35
  And Mike Tyson is like a technician,
• 32:38
  but he is probably not as strong anymore.
• 32:41
  And so it's going to be
• 32:43
  interesting to see how this plays out.
• 32:44
  Well,
• 32:44
  I'm curious who has more brain cells.
• 32:50
  Not a clue.
• 32:50
  Yeah.
• 32:51
  Right.
• 32:52
  Neither of them have the clue either.
• 32:55
  Yeah.
• 32:57
  Yeah.
• 32:59
  I don't know.
• 32:59
  It'll be,
• 33:01
  I'll probably tune in just for
• 33:02
  nostalgia sake.
• 33:07
  And then the last thing for
• 33:08
  you is I finished suits this week.
• 33:10
  Oh, I'm behind.
• 33:11
  Okay.
• 33:12
  Uh,
• 33:15
  did you like the resolution or did you
• 33:17
  like how it ended suits?
• 33:20
  Yeah.
• 33:20
  Yes.
• 33:21
  Okay.
• 33:22
  Okay.
• 33:23
  I feel like the last.
• 33:25
  two seasons better than like
• 33:30
  six and seven maybe okay
• 33:34
  Cause there's some character
• 33:35
  changes in the last two seasons.
• 33:38
  Catherine Heigl becomes a
• 33:40
  part of the show.
• 33:43
  Some of the associates get promoted,
• 33:45
  so they become bigger roles.
• 33:47
  I actually liked the last
• 33:48
  two seasons because the
• 33:49
  stories change because it's
• 33:50
  new characters.
• 33:52
  It got a little repetitive,
• 33:53
  like in season six and seven, same thing.
• 33:56
  Yeah.
• 33:56
  Just where eight, nine,
• 33:58
  it gets to be a little fresh.
• 34:02
  And I haven't watched Tulsa King,
• 34:04
  but I know you guys have been watching it,
• 34:07
  right?
• 34:07
  Yeah,
• 34:07
  there's only one episode left of this
• 34:09
  season.
• 34:09
  Okay.
• 34:11
  How many seasons are there?
• 34:13
  Two.
• 34:13
  Okay.
• 34:17
  Julie and I have been
• 34:19
  watching that live for two years,
• 34:22
  like as they come out.
• 34:23
  Yeah.
• 34:23
  And I know you're watching
• 34:24
  the Yellowstone finale is whatever.
• 34:29
  The last season just started.
• 34:31
  Yeah.
• 34:33
  Um, but it's the final chapter, right?
• 34:35
  Yeah.
• 34:38
  Where Julie and I got up
• 34:39
  through season four and
• 34:40
  then we've been waiting for, uh,
• 34:45
  we've been waiting for this
• 34:46
  to conclude so we can watch
• 34:48
  all of season five as one big.
• 34:50
  Yeah.
• 34:50
  Yeah.
• 34:54
  Like,
• 34:54
  I like to go back and forth with that.
• 34:56
  There's shows that I like to
• 34:57
  be able to watch live, you know,
• 34:59
  like that, like,
• 35:00
  and then shows where I like
• 35:01
  to be able to binge and
• 35:02
  watch a bunch of episodes too.
• 35:04
  Like, so I, I like the balance of it,
• 35:07
  you know?
• 35:09
  What I,
• 35:10
  what I hate about the Yellowstone
• 35:11
  thing that the waiting,
• 35:13
  I don't have paramount network anyway.
• 35:15
  So like, I can't watch it live.
• 35:17
  Um,
• 35:17
  is that there are so many spoilers out
• 35:20
  on the internet.
• 35:21
  Sure.
• 35:22
  so like I know a big spoiler
• 35:24
  from the first episode well
• 35:26
  that was obvious because we
• 35:28
  knew he right that the show
• 35:32
  wasn't going to be back
• 35:34
  well that happened to me
• 35:34
  with suits because they
• 35:36
  just started a podcast oh
• 35:37
  okay I was reading about
• 35:39
  like this podcast they were
• 35:40
  doing and it's the mike
• 35:41
  character and the donna
• 35:42
  character yeah going
• 35:44
  through each episode
• 35:45
  talking about like the
• 35:46
  filming of it and everything
• 35:48
  And somewhere in that they
• 35:49
  talked about the, like the final episode.
• 35:53
  And I was like, son of a gun.
• 35:55
  I made it through like eight
• 35:56
  of the nine seasons.
• 35:57
  Without any spoilers.
• 35:58
  Stupid spoiler.
• 35:59
  It's funny.
• 36:02
  But I kept it from Julie.
• 36:02
  Oh, good.
• 36:03
  That was good.
• 36:03
  That was a good husband for you.
• 36:09
  Yeah.
• 36:09
  So, yeah.
• 36:09
  So now we're looking for like,
• 36:10
  that was our show when
• 36:11
  nothing else was on.
• 36:12
  Yeah.
• 36:13
  Go on.
• 36:15
  Yeah.
• 36:15

• 37:17
  Segal.
• 37:18
  I know.
• 37:18
  But I was like, what?

• 37:23
  everything he does.
• 37:25
  Yes.

  Forgetting.
• 37:34
  Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
• 37:35
  That's it.
• 37:36
  But there, there's a line.
• 37:37
  I'm just, just one line.
• 37:38
  It doesn't, it's not a spoiler.
• 37:41
  Harrison Ford is talking to
• 37:42
  his ex-wife and he's
• 37:44
  admitting to her that he
• 37:45
  was a coward when he was,
• 37:48
  when they were together.
• 37:49
  And she said, I wouldn't,
• 37:50
  I wouldn't say coward.
• 37:52
  And he said, what would you say?
• 37:53
  And he said, she said,
• 37:55
  I would say itty bitty chicken shit.
