- 1:00but I've been given a lot of
- 1:01projects in the last three
- 1:02weeks and yeah.
- 1:07Aren't you doing like four
- 1:08people's jobs at once?
- 1:12I'm doing a lot this last couple of weeks,
- 1:13man.
- 1:14It's been rough.
- 1:14It's been rough.
- 1:17But the funny thing is the
- 1:18thing I was supposed to
- 1:19have done like two weeks ago,
- 1:21we didn't even get part of
- 1:22it fixed until last week on
- 1:24another project.
- 1:25So I couldn't have done it anyway.
- 1:26There you go.
- 1:30You can't take the blame for that.
- 1:33We'll have a two o'clock
- 1:34meeting to discuss it,
- 1:35so we'll see how that goes.
- 1:42Have you gone to Vegas yet?
- 1:43I did last week.
- 1:45How was that?
- 1:46Pretty boring.
- 1:47I barely saw Vegas.
- 1:50I was in a conference room
- 1:51the entire time in the Palms,
- 1:56which is not on the Strip,
- 1:57so there's that also.
- 1:58It is not.
- 2:00And I feel like I was in the
- 2:03plane longer than I was
- 2:04actually in Vegas.
- 2:05Wow.
- 2:08Did they close early every
- 2:09night or something?
- 2:12Just kidding.
- 2:13Might as well have.
- 2:18Yeah.
- 2:20I hate those business trips.
- 2:23I spent a week in Minnesota
- 2:25where I never left the
- 2:26hotel because of their tube structure.
- 2:28To get to the conference,
- 2:31I went through the tube to
- 2:32get to the conference,
- 2:33and I never went outside.
- 2:35I did not want to go outside
- 2:37because it was winter in Minnesota,
- 2:39but I never did go outside
- 2:40the entire time I was there
- 2:42other than to get the cab
- 2:43to the airport when I was done.
- 2:47Yeah, that's basically what was with me.
- 2:49I was at the palms
- 2:51conferences in the palms
- 2:52stayed in the palms.
- 2:55Yeah,
- 2:55those off-strip places like where
- 2:58they held the West Regional or whatever,
- 3:01Sanctional, I don't know.
- 3:03It was a semifinal.
- 3:05Yeah.
- 3:05In West Coast Classic, they were, whatever,
- 3:09they had it in the Orleans,
- 3:12and it was off the strip.
- 3:13And you might as well be in
- 3:16Timbuktu because it's forever.
- 3:19You need to rent a car or
- 3:20something just to get to anything.
- 3:22right that's what I said we
- 3:24could have had this in
- 3:24idaho and been the same
- 3:26save their body money yeah
- 3:29get all excited do you have
- 3:30a conference in vegas and
- 3:31then yeah I didn't lose any
- 3:35money so there's that that
- 3:36helps true there you go
- 3:39well cat and I when we were
- 3:41there for that west coast
- 3:42classic we made it to the
- 3:43strip one night we went to
- 3:45the buttery bros beach or
- 3:48rooftop oh yeah yeah I remember that
- 3:50And then we went to bet in
- 3:52that hotel and the minimum
- 3:54bets were so high.
- 3:55We were like,
- 3:55now let's go back to the
- 3:56Orleans and we can bet for two bucks.
- 4:00We can play left hand, right hand.
- 4:02Yeah.
- 4:02There you go.
- 4:04And still only be about a
- 4:05tenth of what the minimum
- 4:06ham was where we're at.
- 4:09So, so yeah.
- 4:12Yeah.
- 4:12This cheap ass doesn't
- 4:13probably can't afford this trip anyway.
- 4:15Right.
- 4:15Right.
- 4:17Well,
- 4:18we have the Rogue Invitational coming
- 4:20up this weekend.
- 4:22And I want to say, like,
- 4:25whoever is doing their
- 4:27Instagram social media
- 4:28marketing is killing it.
- 4:31If you have not been
- 4:31following it this week,
- 4:36they're doing all these
- 4:37rapid-fire questions with...
- 4:40the athletes uh danielle

- 4:44it's kind of a competition
- 4:45of rapid fire questions uh

- 4:54noah olsen and chandler
- 4:55smith do like a best
- 4:57friends quiz as like but it's
- 5:03So they're doing like an awesome job.
- 5:05Not,
- 5:06not to mention just showing like the
- 5:08athletes showing up, getting their kilts,
- 5:10uh, doing the drive, the golf simulator,
- 5:14um, and trying to outdrive everybody.
- 5:18And I found it funny.
- 5:19Um,
- 5:19I'm going to share my screen for a
- 5:20couple of things.
- 5:22Uh, yeah, thanks man.
- 5:23Noah Chandler does sound right.
- 5:25Doesn't it?
- 5:27Uh,
- 5:30There's a couple of cool things here.
- 5:32One is the official beer of
- 5:36the Rogue Invitational is BrewDog.
- 5:38And an interesting tidbit
- 5:40that I was telling Charlie
- 5:41before we went on the air
- 5:42is the only American
- 5:43brewery of BrewDog is here in Columbus.
- 5:47It's actually south of the city.
- 5:50And they actually have a dog
- 5:51hotel with a dog park.
- 5:54It's a dog-friendly brewery.
- 5:56It's pretty cool.
- 6:01But its origins are in Scotland.
- 6:04That's interesting.
- 6:06And they picked Ohio.
- 6:07See?
- 6:08And they picked Ohio.
- 6:09Yep.
- 6:10It's a place to be.
- 6:13So that's one little
- 6:14interesting tidbit that I
- 6:15found fascinating.
- 6:17But this is what I wanted to
- 6:18ask Charlie about, and you, the audience,
- 6:20as well.
- 6:21Pat Vellner is asked to put
- 6:23together The Perfect Athlete.
- 6:26And I'm going to play that,
- 6:27and then I want to get your
- 6:29impressions or your...
- 6:31your thoughts on what you
- 6:32would build with this concept, so.
- 6:35Is this the CrossFit athlete?
- 6:39I'll take Jeff Adler's endurance.
- 6:41Guima Heros' weightlifting.
- 6:43BKG's gymnastics.
- 6:45I would take my athletics.
- 6:46I'll give Brent intelligence.
- 6:48I could take mine,
- 6:48but I'll give him something.
- 6:50I'll keep my personality.
- 6:52Ooh, who's got good style?
- 6:53Chandler Smith, Chandler Smith style.
- 6:54We're gonna build the
- 6:55perfect CrossFit athlete.
- 7:00I'll take Jeff Adler's endurance,
- 7:02Guima Haros' weightlifting,
- 7:04BKG's gymnastics.
- 7:09So endurance, weightlifting, gymnastics,
- 7:14athleticism, intelligence, personality,
- 7:18and style.
- 7:21Hmm.
- 7:24And he did the men,
- 7:24so we'll start with the men.
- 7:25Hmm.
- 7:31Rich Froning.
- 7:33Next question.
- 7:35You're saying Rich Froning
- 7:36is the perfect CrossFit athlete?
- 7:39Listen, the guy doesn't lose.
- 7:40What do you want from him?
- 7:42He walked on the triple three.
- 7:46Yeah.
- 7:48But he made up for that.
- 7:49He got better at running.
- 7:53I'm going to have to agree
- 7:54with Maharis because his
- 7:56weightlifting is ridiculous.
- 7:58So, okay, that's the given.
- 8:00Let's go to endurance.
- 8:01Let's go through this step by step.
- 8:03Okay.
- 8:04He picked Jeff Adler for endurance.
- 8:10I'll take James Sprague.
- 8:11You're going to take James Sprague.
- 8:17Add a little new life to this.
- 8:25Jody, your troning comment.
- 8:27I'm going to say.
- 8:31um oh who was no I can't
- 8:38think of his name we saw
- 8:39him at the hotel he was had
- 8:41he had a couple yonakoski
- 8:43yonakoski so you got

- 8:47have james sprague we both
- 8:49have gima heroes for
- 8:50weightlifting yep
- 8:53gymnastics I'm gonna say no
- 9:00That's who I was going to say.
- 9:02So we match up on that one.
- 9:04Kind of take no Olsen's gymnastics.
- 9:08Athleticism?
- 9:15Athleticism, I'm going to say.
- 9:17I think he's a freak athlete.
- 9:28Is it all present?
- 9:31I don't think there are any rules,
- 9:32but sure, present.
- 9:33Okay.
- 9:38I'm taking Jason Hopper, just so you know.
- 9:40Hopper?
- 9:41Yeah.
- 9:42Okay.
- 9:45I'm going to say my guy, Marquand.
- 9:49Okay.
- 9:51Going deep, deep track.
- 9:52Hey, college football athlete.
- 9:57And he'll tell you he
- 9:58actually played where Hopper didn't.
- 10:00Correct.
- 10:02And he is correct.
- 10:06So then we go to personality?
- 10:11Intelligence.
- 10:18The professor.

- 15:01Guy's weightlifting is a given.
- 15:03Ricky's endurance, actually a great pick.
- 15:06Pepper's athleticism.
- 15:07Noah's gymnastics.
- 15:08Luckett's brain.
- 15:10Bridge's personality.
- 15:11Dancer's style.
- 15:12He can't say Luckett's brain.
- 15:13That's not fair.
- 15:15That's just,
- 15:15it's because there's a connection.
- 15:17That's a Homer pick.
- 15:18Yeah.
- 15:19Homer pick.
- 15:21It's because he makes you fit.
- 15:22It actually is a pretty good pick.
- 15:26It's a Homer pick.
- 15:28It is.
- 15:28He does know what he's doing.
- 15:31Yeah.
- 15:31I enjoy talking to Brandon.
- 15:33He, uh, he knows a lot about the sport.
- 15:35His workouts are good.
- 15:37If I actually did them,
- 15:37I'd probably be fit.
- 15:40Yeah.
- 15:42So it starts in less than
- 15:43twenty four hours.
- 15:46we have the uh what do they
- 15:49call that the iron games
- 15:50premiere package you can

- 16:01um that's uh like the
- 16:03tailgate party where they

- 16:06and they're they said
- 16:07they're adding a lot more
- 16:08features this year
- 16:10Last year it was worth the
- 16:11twenty five bucks.
- 16:12I had I had like four
- 16:14screens running all at one time.
- 16:16It was awesome.
- 16:18And.
- 16:21Yeah, super,

- 16:30Yes,
- 16:31there's a free live stream on YouTube.
- 16:33Yep.
- 16:35Yep.
- 16:40Do you think they will honor
- 16:41Brent in any some way?
- 16:47Is he a Rogue athlete?
- 16:48I doubt they do.
- 16:51So,
- 16:51Carrie Pierce did her final competition
- 16:53at Rogue.
- 16:54She did take the shoes off,
- 16:56put them on the finishing
- 16:57mat on the last event, and walked away.
- 17:01Will Brent do that?
- 17:02I don't know.
- 17:03He doesn't seem to be that kind of guy,
- 17:07but
- 17:08But Carrie was the, you could say,
- 17:12the greatest U.S.
- 17:14athlete at that point in time.
- 17:18You could say that.
- 17:19I wouldn't, but you could.
- 17:21Well,
- 17:21who nobody's ranked higher than her
- 17:24in any event.
- 17:26uh julie foucher is the
- 17:28greatest american athlete
- 17:30that's a whole I think he
- 17:32meant at the time at the
- 17:34time she was no I know what
- 17:36he meant I'm I'm answering
- 17:37his question I've known him
- 17:39for a long time I know what
- 17:39he's trying to do in your
- 17:42buttons I know I can't wait
- 17:47I'm are you gonna wake up
- 17:47at like two a.m to start watching
- 17:49We don't have to get up that early.
- 17:50It's five a.m., I think, on Saturday.
- 17:53It's seven thirty a.m.
- 17:55on Friday.
- 17:57Oh, not too bad.
- 17:57OK, good.
- 17:58I'll play it at the gym then.
- 17:59You can watch it during the
- 18:01seven forty five class.
- 18:04Yeah,
- 18:04so I think it's it's not the nice
- 18:08thing is it's we're done
- 18:09with the day and then we
- 18:10can go do stuff with like our family.
- 18:12Yeah, true.
- 18:13Like it'll be done by one or
- 18:16two o'clock in the afternoon.
- 18:17And then we can go about
- 18:18watching college football
- 18:19or whatever we want to do
- 18:21the rest of the day.
- 18:23Yeah.
- 18:23So Saturday I'm going to have to,
- 18:24I'm going to a local
- 18:25competition to just visit
- 18:26friends and things.
- 18:27So I won't be able to watch that live.
- 18:30I'll have to catch up with
- 18:31that on Saturday afternoon,
- 18:32but I have no other plans this weekend.
- 18:33So I'll be good.
- 18:35Are you competing?
- 18:36No, no.
- 18:37This is the one that Colleen
- 18:38and I did for like three
- 18:40years in a row though.
- 18:41And the first year we competed,
- 18:42against women that were
- 18:43definitely taking PEDs and
- 18:45we got second place.
- 18:46And then we won the next two
- 18:48subsequent years.
- 18:49That was probably back in like,
- 18:51twenty nineteen, twenty twenty,
- 18:53twenty twenty one.
- 18:53So if we were going back,
- 18:56we would be trying to defend our title.
- 18:57But she had shoulder surgery
- 18:59a couple of months ago and
- 19:01I'm clearly not in competition.
- 19:02You know how you get
- 19:06competition real quick.
- 19:06I know I got to start just working out.
- 19:10Oh, oh, and that too.
- 19:11Yeah.
- 19:11Well, I'm already, I'm already doing that.
- 19:13So that part,
- 19:14that's the reason why I'm not
- 19:16completely falling off with
- 19:18my physique is because I'm
- 19:19doing other things.
- 19:20But yeah.
- 19:20Yeah.
- 19:24Charlie just shows up at
- 19:26competitions prepared or not.
- 19:27Like he doesn't even care.
- 19:28What are you going to do?
- 19:32Best videos ever.
- 19:36I have to get into that
- 19:37mindset of being able to do a competition,
- 19:39knowing that I'm not going
- 19:40to win and not like not trying to win.
- 19:42But I have a hard,
- 19:43really hard time doing that.
- 19:45Oh, I'm mentally trying to win.
- 19:48Yeah.
- 19:48But I'm like,
- 19:50I'm like pissed off if I'm not winning,
- 19:52you know what I mean?
- 19:53Like I'm expecting myself to
- 19:55win a hundred thousand
- 19:56percent when I compete.
- 19:59I think I'm to the point in
- 20:00my life where I'm never
- 20:01going to compete again.
- 20:05Not even in like the fun division,
- 20:07not even in like the.
- 20:09We're supposed to be doing a
- 20:10four of us supposed to be doing a comp.
- 20:12Yeah.
- 20:14I still, I still would love to do that.
- 20:16That would be really fun.
- 20:17If I were to do one, it would be for fun.
- 20:19But if it was a team competition, I,
- 20:21I can't do those for fun.
- 20:23I just can't.
- 20:23Like,
- 20:24I feel like I would let somebody down
- 20:26and then I would probably
- 20:28end up throwing up behind
- 20:30the building and.
- 20:31my back would need traction
- 20:33and six more procedures.
- 20:35And I think that's it.
- 20:37Like,
- 20:38like I've learned that in my workout now,
- 20:41I'm finally to the point
- 20:43where mentally I'm in a
- 20:44place where I'm okay with
- 20:47doing what I'm capable of
- 20:49in that moment and deciding that day,
- 20:52like, okay, I'm having a good day,
- 20:55a good back day.
- 20:55I can add some intensity and,
- 20:58Or, hey, this is not a great day for me.
- 21:00Just going to move through the process.
- 21:04And like with a competition,
- 21:06you have to kind of shut all that off.
- 21:09And I just don't think my
- 21:10body can handle that anymore.
- 21:14Maybe if I get a little bit
- 21:16smaller than I am today,
- 21:17which I'm getting smaller every day,
- 21:20that'll go away.
- 21:21But at this point,
- 21:22like I finally found what's
- 21:25working for me and I'm able
- 21:26to show up every day.
- 21:28That's important, right?
- 21:29If you can just be
- 21:30consistent and maintain that consistency,
- 21:32that's where I'm at right now.
- 21:33I'm trying to get to that
- 21:35consistency point.
- 21:37Where it took me years to
- 21:38shut off the competition part and,
- 21:42and I just was getting hurt
- 21:45nickel and dimed all the
- 21:46time to where I just
- 21:47couldn't make it back the next day.
- 21:52Yeah, that's frustrating.
- 21:56What couch you got?
- 21:58I just got a little like
- 22:01sage green leather loveseat, actually.
- 22:05I am new slash.
- 22:06I am in a one bedroom apartment.
- 22:10Yes.
- 22:12As of a week ago.
- 22:15So you see this live on the air.
- 22:17My background is different.
- 22:18I thought I told you guys
- 22:19until you guys did not tell us.
- 22:21Sorry.
- 22:24I thought we were friends.
- 22:27I'm in another city, like, well,
- 22:30the same city I grew up in, but, like,
- 22:32I'm about forty-five
- 22:34minutes away from where I
- 22:35used to live in Maryland,
- 22:36and I am by myself in a
- 22:38one-bedroom apartment.
- 22:39It's very noisy, and it's very,
- 22:41very small.
- 22:43Huge adjustment for me.
- 22:48This is too early in the
- 22:49podcast to be dropping stuff like this.
- 22:51Yes, no dogs live with me.
- 22:53Very sad.
- 22:57I am getting Jojo's coming
- 23:02to visit me this weekend though.
- 23:02Cause Kristen and his
- 23:04girlfriend are going away
- 23:05for the weekend.
- 23:06So I'm picking up Jojo in a
- 23:07couple hours and I'm going
- 23:08to sneak her in here for a few days.
- 23:11So that'll be fun.
- 23:12I'm gonna let her jump all
- 23:13over the furniture and be a dog.
- 23:15Very excited.
- 23:18Okay.
- 23:19Well, is your apartment pet friendly?
- 23:23People are allowed to own pets here.
- 23:25Yes.
- 23:26If you pay a pet deposit and
- 23:27do all the things.
- 23:28So I'm going to,
- 23:30if she ends up becoming
- 23:31like a regular visitor,
- 23:33I will pay the pet deposit
- 23:34and sign the addendum or whatever,
- 23:36but if I can just.
- 23:38But my question was how long
- 23:40before you get another dog?
- 23:45I don't know.
- 23:46I think I'm going to wait
- 23:47until I get a proper yard
- 23:48and things like that.
- 23:49I'm not a big fan of having.
- 23:51dogs in apartments.
- 23:51It's really tough to do
- 23:53unless I find some really
- 23:55awesome trails around here
- 23:56that I can take said dog to off leash,
- 23:58like on a regular basis.
- 24:00But I think for now,
- 24:01I'm just going to have to
- 24:02have a visiting dog every
- 24:03once in a while.
- 24:04Three months is the over under.
- 24:06You think?
- 24:08Yeah, I don't know.
- 24:09I will take the under on that.
- 24:10I'll take the under on that too.
- 24:11Well, like it was summer for sure.
- 24:16I've traveled with you.
- 24:18I can't go five feet without
- 24:20seeing and loving on a dog.
- 24:21I know.
- 24:22Right.
- 24:23I know we talk about your,
- 24:26your dog addiction.
- 24:28Right.
- 24:28Like until you see it, it is real.
- 24:31Yeah.
- 24:32Well,
- 24:32there are some dogs that live in my
- 24:34complex, so maybe I could just be like,
- 24:35you know,
- 24:36auntie cat to lots of different dogs,
- 24:38but not have the
- 24:39responsibility of having to feed them,
- 24:40pay for them,
- 24:41pay for their vet visits and
- 24:43brush them and vacuum after them.
- 24:45Auntie cats are making me laugh.
- 24:48It can be auntie cat to a dog.
- 24:50Yeah.
- 24:51We'll see.
- 24:52We'll see what happens.
- 24:55My big purchase lately was I
- 24:56got this big giant wagon to
- 24:58like wheel my groceries and
- 25:00stuff because I'm on the third floor.
- 25:02And on Friday,
- 25:03I got twenty seven thousand
- 25:05steps because I was like
- 25:06moving stuff from my car to
- 25:08the apartment and then back
- 25:09down to the apartment and
- 25:10then back up to the car.
- 25:12And this girl in the parking
- 25:13lot had a wagon.
- 25:14I was like, oh, you got the right idea.
- 25:15And she's like, oh, yeah, Amazon,
- 25:16you have to get one.
- 25:17So I got one.
- 25:19So now I'm
- 25:19Auntie cat, the dog wagon lady.
- 25:23Do you have an elevator?
- 25:25Yeah, there's an elevator.
- 25:26Okay.
- 25:27I was going to say like
- 25:28wagons only good to the steps and then.
- 25:30Yeah.
- 25:30Yeah.
- 25:30No, it's one of those.
- 25:31It's like an apartment.
- 25:32Um,
- 25:32it's one of those retail slash
- 25:35apartments.
- 25:35So retail on the first floor
- 25:37and then apartment five
- 25:38floors of apartments on top.
- 25:39It's like mixed use space.
- 25:41So I'm on top of El Camino, which is a, um,
- 25:45uh, Mexican restaurant.
- 25:47But my window is also right
- 25:48outside the dumpster and
- 25:50the loading zone for said restaurant.
- 25:51And so every day, all day,
- 25:53there are trucks backing up
- 25:55and dumpsters being unloaded.
- 25:56And it's very, very noisy.
- 25:59And I work here all day.
- 26:01So I used to live in an
- 26:02apartment in college that
- 26:03was over the dumpster.
- 26:06I would just open the window
- 26:08and toss my trash right
- 26:09into the dumpster.
- 26:10That's a good idea.
- 26:13Walk it all the way down and around.
- 26:14Cause it was in the back of the building.
- 26:16So I had to walk like the
- 26:17whole way to the front of the building,
- 26:18down the steps to get out.
- 26:21And then I would have to
- 26:21walk all the way around to the back.
- 26:23And I would just open my
- 26:24window and right into the dumpster.
- 26:26That is an interesting strategy.
- 26:28I'm luckily very close to
- 26:29the trash chute on my floor
- 26:31and the stairs.
- 26:32So yeah.
- 26:35when I moved out I chucked a
- 26:36TV in there too from the
- 26:37window the thing is it's
- 26:40not I don't think that well
- 26:42A those dumpsters have
- 26:43covers on them and B
- 26:44they're for the Mexican
- 26:44restaurant they're not for
- 26:46me so there'd be lots of
- 26:48problems always leave the
- 26:49covers open yeah well I
- 26:51hope not because that's not
- 26:53what I want to see on my
- 26:53deck on my balcony yeah
- 26:57just telling you in the
- 26:58heat of the summer that
- 26:59gets a good waft I'm sure I can't wait
- 27:03Short-term, guys.
- 27:04This is a nine-month lease,
- 27:05so we're just making moves
- 27:07and seeing what's going to happen next.
- 27:08So stay tuned.
- 27:08Okay.
- 27:09Well,
- 27:13Charlotte and I were talking about
- 27:13the perfect CrossFit athlete.
- 27:16We gave ours,
- 27:17and Corey is giving his female.
- 27:21Kara Saunders, weightlifting.
- 27:22Phoebe East, gymnastics.
- 27:24Tia's, athleticism.
- 27:25Emily Rolfe, endurance.
- 27:27Ariel's, brain.
- 27:28Haley Adams, style.
- 27:29And Alexis Johnson, personality.
- 27:33So this stems from an
- 27:35interview that Rogue did
- 27:36with Pat Vellner.
- 27:38And he put together his,
- 27:39which was Adler's endurance,
- 27:42Guy's weightlifting, BKG's gymnastics,
- 27:48his athleticism, Brent's brain.
- 27:52And then he finished with
- 27:54Chandler's style and his own personality.
- 27:57Oh, cool.
- 27:58That's personality.
- 27:58I love it.
- 28:03Um,
- 28:04and this is based on who's at rogue or
- 28:06this is just in general.
- 28:11No current current athletes.
- 28:14Got it.
- 28:16Okay.
- 28:16Are you wanting me to give,
- 28:17give you mine right off the
- 28:18top of my head?
- 28:19If you can, if not, we can move on.
- 28:22Um, boys first boys first, uh,
- 28:28weightlifting Adler.
- 28:33Gymnastics.
- 28:38Who's really good at gymnastics?
- 28:40Belner.
- 28:42Athletics.
- 28:44Yeah.
- 28:44Athleticism.
- 28:46Ricky.
- 28:49Endurance.
- 28:56Hmm.
- 28:59I don't know who's really
- 28:59good at endurance.
- 29:02I said Sprague.
- 29:03Oh, yeah.
- 29:05Okay.
- 29:05Yeah.
- 29:06I was gonna say, hollow, justy.
- 29:09Hello.
- 29:10Hello.
- 29:10I got it.
- 29:11One that yellow stuff.
- 29:14Brent's brain, obviously,
- 29:16style and personality.
- 29:22The boys are kind of playing.
- 29:24I mean, well,
- 29:28a style I'll go with down pepper.
- 29:33And personality, Colton Mertens.
- 29:39Colton Mertens.
- 29:39He was in my top three for sure.
- 29:40Yeah.
- 29:42I love the new smack talk Colton.
- 29:43He'd run a heel now.
- 29:49Oh yeah.
- 29:49I think,
- 29:51but he'll never be a heel because
- 29:52everybody,
- 29:53it's like when the rock was a heel,
- 29:54right?
- 29:55Stone cold.
- 29:56Yeah.
- 29:57Everybody loved him.
- 30:00We need a real true heel.
- 30:04car with Emily's speed and endurance.
- 30:05Yeah.
- 30:06I don't want to do the
- 30:06ladies cause I'm brain dead right now,
- 30:08but I would pick, um,
- 30:11I don't know that I picked
- 30:12Danielle for gymnastics,
- 30:13but I guess would either be
- 30:15her or Alexis rap, uh, um, Alex Kazan.
- 30:21I went with Alex,
- 30:23but I had like Emma
- 30:23Lawson's gymnastics are amazing.
- 30:26There's a lot to choose from there.
- 30:28Aerials are good.
- 30:30I would say aerials
- 30:31athleticism just in general.
- 30:34I said her personality.
- 30:36So I tried not to use that too.
- 30:37Yeah.
- 30:37Cool.
- 30:42Emily's endurance.
- 30:43That's pretty well.
- 30:45We said T is athleticism, right?
- 30:47And that what we said.
- 30:48She has intelligence.
- 30:50Intelligence.
- 30:51Yeah.
- 30:52I mean, she could qualify for all those.
- 30:55Correct.
- 30:56I would say for personality,
- 30:57like I wish Sarah Sigmund's
- 30:58daughter was still in the
- 30:59mix because she was always
- 31:00so bubbly and fun.
- 31:06Yeah.
- 31:07It was a fun little thing.
- 31:08I just think Rogue has done
- 31:10such an amazing job
- 31:11marketing this week on
- 31:13their Instagram with all of
- 31:15the interviews they're
- 31:16having with the pairs doing
- 31:18the competitions,
- 31:20showing the golf simulator, the kilts.
- 31:25I love all the questions
- 31:26when they show them the
- 31:26logos of like different
- 31:27rugby teams and stuff.
- 31:28Like what's the team name?
- 31:30Yeah.
- 31:33What was Dallin's one?
- 31:34Those are the angry flowers.
- 31:41Really good.
- 31:45I'm really excited for this weekend.
- 31:50Just looking through their
- 31:51stuff right now.
- 31:54We still don't know about
- 31:55Event Six or Event Ninth?
- 31:57We do not know.
- 31:58I don't think we'll know
- 31:58until the weekend.
- 32:00I think that's going to be a
- 32:01pop-up surprise.
- 32:02Last night on The Spin,
- 32:03they did announce some of the details.
- 32:05They did?
- 32:05Yeah.
- 32:07So the sandbag run is the first four,
- 32:12four hundreds are with a ruck.
- 32:14The rest are without.
- 32:17And then it is every version
- 32:19of a rogue sandbag has to
- 32:21be picked up and taken on
- 32:24the run or on the sandbag carry,
- 32:27whatever that is.
- 32:28You can choose which one first to last.
- 32:32So it's going to be a cool
- 32:33strategic thing.
- 32:34I like that.
- 32:38They were picking every event,
- 32:40and so I got a little tired.
- 32:43I was watching it going to sleep.
- 32:44Did we get details on the
- 32:46wall walk complex?
- 32:47Do we know what that is?
- 32:49I think it's two strict
- 32:51handstand push-ups.
- 32:53So it's wall walk,
- 32:54two strict handstand push-ups,
- 32:56and that's the complex.
- 32:58That'll get spicy.
- 33:02It ends up being a lot of
- 33:03strict handstand push-ups
- 33:04at the end of the day.
- 33:06Mm-hmm.
- 33:09I guess I could go to the
- 33:10events and I did like,
- 33:14I did like killer's
- 33:14prediction of the event six
- 33:16being some kind of like the
- 33:18dinty stone deadlift or
- 33:20something like that.
- 33:23It's going to be some odd object.
- 33:25I feel like, yeah, I,
- 33:28they don't have the events on the page.
- 33:35Now it must've been a story.
- 33:39That's kind of a bummer.
- 33:47Here are the Denny stones,
- 33:49if you don't know what they are.
- 33:59Yeah,
- 33:59I think those are going to come into
- 34:00play.
- 34:03They've been used in Strong
- 34:04Man and Strong Woman for a lot.
- 34:07But this talks about the history of them.
- 34:11they're used at the Arnold
- 34:12last year as well.
- 34:21So I can't believe they
- 34:27don't have the workouts.
- 34:35That's crazy.
- 34:36Scott, how's your football team doing?
- 34:39I don't want to talk about.
- 34:45Which one?
- 34:45Both of them?
- 34:45I was talking about the Bears,
- 34:46but I don't do college football.
- 34:48It's too much.
- 34:49Too much for me to pay attention to.
- 34:53They are not doing well.
- 34:57Is there a football game tonight?
- 34:59Yep.
- 35:01Ravens-Bengals.
- 35:06Pretty good game.
- 35:06Probably first one to forty wins.
- 35:11A whole lot of defense happening.
- 35:14Should be up and down the field tonight.
- 35:22Yeah.
- 35:23Found a new podcast I like.
- 35:24What's that?
- 35:26When I need to decompress for everything,
- 35:28it's called Where Everybody
- 35:30Knows Your Name.
- 35:32And it's Ted Danson and
- 35:33Woody Harrelson interviewing people.
- 35:36Interesting.
- 35:37I love it.
- 35:39It's funny because the logo
- 35:40actually says like with Ted
- 35:42Danson and Woody Harrelson sometimes.
- 35:46Like the latest episode with Martin Short,
- 35:48it's just Ted Danson.
- 35:49That's just like our podcast
- 35:51with Charlie sometimes.
- 35:55Scott, Kat, Amy, and sometimes Charlie.
- 35:57And sometimes.
- 36:00Sometimes Charlie.
- 36:01Well,
- 36:01I don't know if Kat can talk much
- 36:02these days either.
- 36:04Well, this is true.
- 36:05I know.
- 36:05Well, I mean, now that I'm,
- 36:07now that I have a place and
- 36:08a thing and I did get
- 36:10scheduled every other Thursday,
- 36:11a recurring meeting at work.
- 36:13So I will be every other a
- 36:16hundred percent not on if it stays,
- 36:18if we stay with Thursdays.
- 36:19So, yeah.
- 36:21And they pay me, so I can't,
- 36:24I can't not do that.
- 36:28Yeah, I become so busy at work.
- 36:31I was telling Charlie when we first got on,
- 36:33like I dropped the ball on a project,
- 36:35but they've been handing me
- 36:36so many projects lately.
- 36:38Like it's like how many
- 36:41balls can you spin before balls?
- 36:45So I have a meeting at two
- 36:46o'clock today to discuss.
- 36:48Actually, I lied.
- 36:49So next week, I'm good.
- 36:50The week after that, I'm good.
- 36:51The first day that I'm not
- 36:52good is the twenty eighth,
- 36:53which I'm pretty sure is
- 36:54Thanksgiving Day.
- 36:55So.
- 36:57It is.
- 36:58We probably won't do a
- 36:59Thanksgiving Day show.
- 37:01Yeah, I know,
- 37:01but I probably won't have
- 37:02that meeting either is what
- 37:03I'm kind of getting at.
- 37:04I would hope not.
- 37:08You might have to renegotiate.
- 37:09If you have that meeting,
- 37:11you may need to renegotiate.
- 37:13They don't pay me enough that much.
- 37:18No.
- 37:18Any big Thanksgiving plans
- 37:20now that you're out on your own?
- 37:22I don't know what I'm going to do.
- 37:23I'm going to try to get a
- 37:23kid or two to come visit me at least.
- 37:28I don't have a dining room.
- 37:30So here, Corey,
- 37:32what Corey will be there in
- 37:33the evening here.
- 37:35Okay.
- 37:36Oh yeah.
- 37:36You got that.
- 37:36She's got a splitter time now.
- 37:37I think Braden said he was
- 37:39going to go to his
- 37:39girlfriends in Georgia.
- 37:40So he might not even come home.
- 37:42He didn't come home last
- 37:43year for Thanksgiving.
- 37:44So I'm kind of used to that.
- 37:44And Eliana will be around.
- 37:47So she'll,
- 37:48she'll probably have spent time
- 37:50with her dad and spend time with me.
- 37:52And we're all so close.
- 37:53So yeah.
- 37:55Yeah.
- 37:56I saw something on somebody
- 37:58was talking about, like,
- 37:59I'm trying not to put a
- 37:59whole lot of pressure on holidays.
- 38:01This,
- 38:02this should go around just because
- 38:03things are weird.
- 38:04And, um, somebody was saying like,
- 38:07if you have good
- 38:07relationships with your
- 38:08kids and your parents and everything else,
- 38:10like you don't have to put
- 38:12so much emphasis on the holiday.
- 38:14Like,
- 38:14cause the holiday is not the one time
- 38:15that you get together.
- 38:16Like if you're getting
- 38:17together regularly anyway,
- 38:19then who cares if you don't
- 38:20see them on that day, you know?
- 38:22So I'm kind of going with that.
- 38:25Yeah.
- 38:26And I do.
- 38:26I spend a lot of time with my family.
- 38:29For a long time.
- 38:30So we have the dilemma that
- 38:31Julie has to have surgery in January.
- 38:33And every day the pain gets
- 38:36worse on her knees.
- 38:38And so she made the
- 38:41announcement that she
- 38:42wasn't coming home for Christmas.
- 38:44And to her face, everybody was like,
- 38:46that's fine.
- 38:47We understand.
- 38:48And then when she left
- 38:51Pennsylvania this last weekend,
- 38:52then everybody behind her back was like,
- 38:55I can't believe she's not coming.
- 38:56I can't believe like, come on.
- 39:00Yeah.
- 39:01And it's,
- 39:01and you guys do spend a lot of
- 39:03time traveling to see those everybody.
- 39:05So
- 39:08My family is so laid back
- 39:10about that stuff.
- 39:14We've stopped doing gifts
- 39:15and all of that stuff.
- 39:16It's just about time together.
- 39:20My nephew lives here.
- 39:22I live here.
- 39:23My mom's coming over.
- 39:25And she'll spend whatever,
- 39:26whenever that is.
- 39:27It doesn't have to be on the
- 39:28twenty fifth of December.
- 39:30Whenever that is, we'll hang out.
- 39:32We'll play board games.
- 39:33We'll do whatever.
- 39:34And that'll be our day.
- 39:36And so be it.
- 39:37But yeah, well,
- 39:39and I don't have to worry
- 39:39about my dad because he's
- 39:40going to England on the twenty sixth.
- 39:42I'll tell you that it's
- 39:44going back and the ring.
- 39:48Oh, don't tell me that's still happening.
- 39:50And so far, I guess.
- 39:57Okay.
- 39:59I just, Charlie's face.
- 40:00I love it.
- 40:02I love it.
- 40:05I mean, I hope it works out, but you know,
- 40:07with all the scams going around today,
- 40:09you just worry and fret.
- 40:10Yeah.
- 40:15You want your dad to be happy too, right?
- 40:18Yes, absolutely.
- 40:20He's
- 40:26let him live his life how he wants to,
- 40:27you know?
- 40:28He's what?
- 40:28Twenty seven.
- 40:29She's forty nine.
- 40:35OK,
- 40:35since we talked to age difference and
- 40:37to be happy,
- 40:38have you seen this Bill Belichick stuff?
- 40:41What in the world, man?
- 40:43Like, be happy.
- 40:45I don't care what the age difference is.
- 40:47But when you see them side by side,
- 40:49it is shocking.
- 40:50It looks weird, yeah.
- 40:51At least my dad and his girlfriend,
- 40:53they don't look physically
- 40:55mismatched at all.
- 40:57They look like they could be a couple.
- 41:00It's either good for him or bad for her.
- 41:04It's kind of a combination of both.
- 41:06She definitely looks older
- 41:07than she is and he looks
- 41:08younger than he is.
- 41:09Both look like fifty-ish.
- 41:14She looks more fifty-ish and
- 41:15he looks more sixty-five-ish.
- 41:18There's an age gap, but it doesn't look
- 41:25super huge, I guess.
- 41:26Corey says seven to eight
- 41:27minus forty-nine is okey-dokey.
- 41:30Isn't it a half plus seven
- 41:31or something like that?
- 41:32Isn't that what they used to be?
- 41:33There's like an acceptable formula.
- 41:35Yeah.
- 41:36The teletech thing is like
- 41:38seventy-two to twenty-four.
- 41:39Yeah, that's crazy.
- 41:41She's twenty-eight now.
- 41:44Twenty-eight?
- 41:45Really?
- 41:46The article I read said twenty-four,
- 41:48but...
- 41:53But she has them doing, like,
- 41:54TikToks and stuff.
- 41:55Like, it's just weird.
- 41:57He's living his best life.
- 42:00They don't test it at all.
- 42:01All right.
- 42:05Go for it, Bill.
- 42:13Anyway, other than Rogue, man,
- 42:15it's been a slow week.
- 42:16Yeah.
- 42:17Yeah.
- 42:20Um,
- 42:21barbell spin did announce yesterday
- 42:22that the coroner's report
- 42:23did change lately.
- 42:25Oh, the, I don't want to get it wrong,
- 42:30but there's one section
- 42:31that is now listed as accident.
- 42:33And my understanding is
- 42:37there's only five answers for that box.
- 42:40It is accident, homicide, suicide, natural,
- 42:42or unknown.
- 42:46And so,
- 42:49Yeah.
- 42:50We wouldn't expect anything
- 42:51different then.
- 42:52But the cause of death is still blank.
- 42:56I think it's reason for
- 42:57death is accident and now cause.
- 43:05I was texting with Jamie
- 43:06last night and I was like,
- 43:07I don't even care anymore.
- 43:08I just want to move on.
- 43:11every right now everybody
- 43:13has their mind already made
- 43:14up I think as to what
- 43:16happened and you believe
- 43:18one thing or another and
- 43:18whatever they say is either
- 43:20going to it's not going to
- 43:22change make you feel
- 43:25stronger in that way or
- 43:27you're still going to feel
- 43:28that way anyway yeah I
- 43:31think a lot of people are
- 43:32hoping that they find out
- 43:33that he had some kind of
- 43:34underlying condition right that
- 43:38caused him to be struggling
- 43:39the way he did.
- 43:40But I still think people are
- 43:42going to believe that
- 43:43that's still CrossFit's
- 43:44fault because they didn't
- 43:45have enough people to grab him.
- 43:46Sure.
- 43:47Sure, sure, sure.
- 43:48Yeah.
- 43:48But, but it's still, it,
- 43:51it feels a little bit
- 43:53better than healthy as a horse drowned.
- 43:57No one saved him.
- 43:59Do you know what I mean?
- 44:00I don't know.
- 44:00It's just, to me,
- 44:02there's a little bit of a
- 44:02difference and you're right.
- 44:03It doesn't, it doesn't matter in terms of
- 44:07I think for you, it can,
- 44:08it can be a little bit different,
- 44:09but I think for the community,
- 44:11it's just going to deepen
- 44:13the divide and take longer
- 44:15for everybody to get past it.
- 44:17Yeah.
- 44:18That's my fear.
- 44:19And, and yeah.
- 44:22And then, but, but then again,
- 44:24also you don't want to
- 44:25necessarily like be
- 44:29disrespectful to his family
- 44:31either by saying like, Oh, we don't care.
- 44:32And I know that's not what you meant.
- 44:33Like you don't care, but.
- 44:35No, it's like we're kind of over.
- 44:37Nothing's going to change
- 44:38the fact that he died.
- 44:39Right.
- 44:41Right.
- 44:42And I have grieved him and I
- 44:43have celebrated him.
- 44:45Lazar was an amazing human being.
- 44:47We've said it enough times on this show.
- 44:50And I have grieved that tremendously.
- 44:53It took me forever to get past that.
- 44:55I still haven't done an
- 44:56interview with an elite
- 44:57athlete since the games.
- 44:59Really?
- 45:00I don't know what to do.
- 45:01Mm hmm.
- 45:03And I'm having a hard time
- 45:04reconciling that.
- 45:05And this drawing out even
- 45:06longer makes it harder to move on.
- 45:10I think this rogue will be a
- 45:11good litmus test of kind of where we are.
- 45:17Yeah, I hope so.
- 45:18Yeah, it should.
- 45:22I hope so.
- 45:22I got a bowl, guys.
- 45:24I have a meeting.
- 45:26Yeah, I have to go too.
- 45:28But it was good times with you guys.
- 45:30Glad you got your sofa.
- 45:31Thank you.
- 45:33We'll have to talk with the surprise now.
- 45:36Yeah, we will.
- 45:37We talked stuff.
- 45:38All right.
- 45:40With that,
- 45:40we will see everybody next time
- 45:42on Gladstone Media Roundtable.
- 45:44Bye guys.
