welcome to lunch with the Clydesdale minus
1:04
the cowboy today it looks like um so
1:09
what is going on man every i hope
1:11
everybody had an amazing amazing labor day
1:15
weekend three days off from work for this
1:18
dude always appreciate those weekends um
1:24
You know,
1:24
my dad was a laborer for forty five
1:26
years and shout out to all the men
1:31
and women who work in those fields and
1:35
grind those lathes, grind those, you know,
1:39
all that stuff, all the trades, man.
1:41
I think they get forgotten a lot in
1:43
this country.
1:44
And it's really what built who we are
1:46
today.
1:48
And that's what today is all about.
1:49
Celebrating the laborers who kind of
1:53
did everything they could to build this
1:56
country with their own two hands,
1:58
and I appreciate them each and every day.
2:03
Meredith,
2:04
camping with four kids under the age of
2:06
ten,
2:06
it's been raining for the past day and
2:08
a half.
2:11
You sent me on my way on the
2:14
first line,
2:15
and then the second line just sealed the
2:17
deal.
2:19
Camping with four kids under ten,
2:22
that is just a disaster waiting to happen
2:26
in my world.
2:33
So glad I finally figured out what Labor
2:35
Day was.
2:37
Here's my pet peeve, Meg.
2:39
Leave it to Meg to light the fuse.
2:43
I hate when people think it's like another
2:47
Veterans Day or Memorial Day.
2:49
I love the military.
2:51
They should be celebrated.
2:53
But Labor Day was not founded on a
2:55
military holiday.
2:56
And it is uncanny how many people on
2:59
social media post, like,
3:03
thank you to our soldiers on Labor Day.
3:06
You should thank your soldiers every day.
3:08
Not saying that.
3:10
Just saying that that is not what Labor
3:13
Day was intended for.
3:17
So...
3:21
I thought it was when women went into
3:23
labor.
3:24
That's a magical thing too.
3:27
Kudos to the women going into labor.
3:31
But I think I don't, maybe I'm wrong.
3:36
I don't know.
3:37
All these years, when I was really young,
3:41
it was a big deal because my dad
3:43
worked in a machine shop.
3:45
He could work every machine in that shop.
3:49
And Labor Day was special because of that.
3:53
Um, Oh,
3:59
and it's make sure we don't wear white
4:01
day now.
4:04
I, I honest to God,
4:07
like my head cannot even cop comprehend
4:11
and wrap myself around fashion.
4:14
I am the least fashionista in the world.
4:22
Uh, forty-niners Chica.
4:24
I'm in Australia right now watching at two
4:27
fifteen AM.
4:30
Wow.
4:31
That is, that is dedication to this show.
4:35
I appreciate it so much.
4:38
Or you have insomnia one or the other.
4:44
Um,
4:49
Retired Steve,
4:50
my parents framed for thirty years every
4:52
day was Labor Day.
4:54
Right,
4:54
but this is the day to honor those
4:56
people.
4:56
Honor those days.
5:01
You know, I get it.
5:02
My dad, literally,
5:04
he brought home metal chips on his shoes
5:08
and calluses and blisters on his hands.
5:12
Like, dude, we lived that life.
5:15
The eighties were a brutal time for
5:16
laborers, though.
5:18
Brutal.
5:23
Meredith says, you guys aren't campers,
5:25
right?
5:26
Meredith, when I was a kid,
5:27
we used to leave our house on Memorial
5:29
Day for the soldiers,
5:32
and we would come home on Labor Day
5:34
for the laborers.
5:36
We camped every summer for like three or
5:39
four years.
5:43
There were some really great times with
5:44
that.
5:45
There were some wild times with that.
5:49
one of the wild times as we got
5:50
into a lightning storm thunderstorm and
5:54
our camper leaked everywhere my mom was
5:57
like that's enough we got in the car
6:01
we went to a camper sales place and
6:03
bought a hardtop camper the next day
6:06
brought it in traded i think we traded
6:08
in the soft top camper at that moment
6:11
and she's like we're never doing this
6:13
again
6:15
And the crazy thing,
6:16
the crazy thing we camped like three to
6:21
five miles away from the house.
6:24
So it was just back then it was
6:28
a way to get away from the phone.
6:29
We didn't have cell phones.
6:30
We didn't have anything like that,
6:33
but like literally just getting away from
6:37
all of that stuff.
6:38
Right.
6:39
Just kind of cooking over a fire every
6:41
night, doing all that stuff.
6:44
Um,
6:46
But there were some really good times with
6:49
that.
6:49
Rode my bike.
6:51
It was a working farm that we camped
6:53
at.
6:55
And they had cows and turkeys and hogs.
6:59
And so it was...
7:04
And we got to play around with all
7:05
that stuff.
7:06
I got opportunities to bale hay.
7:07
I got opportunities to work with the pigs,
7:10
which I hate to this day.
7:13
don't know how colton does it um the
7:16
turkeys were dirty as hell um but yeah
7:20
it was an experience for sure and i
7:23
thank my parents for that uh retired steve
7:30
we called ours the cramper yeah we got
7:32
a hard top camper but it was nothing
7:34
like these new fifth wheels and oh that's
7:39
not like it was literally
7:42
like when it was sleep time,
7:44
the whole camper were beds.
7:46
When it was a wake time,
7:48
there were no beds.
7:50
It was one of those where you converted
7:51
everything, uh, in a,
7:53
in a like split second, not split second,
7:56
but you know,
7:57
converted everything over to living space
7:59
for the day,
8:01
converted it over to sleeping for the
8:02
night.
8:05
Not a lot of space.
8:09
Did my dad escape with all of his
8:10
fingers?
8:11
Machine shops are notorious for taking
8:13
them.
8:13
My dad passed away in twenty twenty with
8:16
all ten digits.
8:23
He didn't come out unscathed.
8:25
I will say that.
8:27
You know,
8:28
it's it's a weird work environment, man,
8:31
and it does its damage.
8:35
They had I
8:36
I don't know.
8:37
My mom will probably correct me tonight
8:38
when she calls me or I call her.
8:41
But there was this cooling liquid that
8:44
they used to keep all of his stuff
8:46
cool.
8:47
And I think that did some damage to
8:49
him and his lungs.
8:51
He did some of his own by being
8:52
a smoker and some of that stuff.
8:54
But I think that towards the end of
8:57
his career at this machine shop,
9:00
the cooling stuff on the machines did as
9:03
much damage to him as anything else.
9:07
His skin took a brutal beating,
9:10
all of that kind of stuff.
9:16
Mark Phillips,
9:18
the military killed my desire for camping
9:21
that I ever had.
9:22
Yeah, my wife will never camp.
9:25
We went camping when we were dating one
9:28
time and got into such a brutal argument
9:32
that we were never going camping again.
9:38
And I say that and then we went
9:40
one more time with our church and we
9:42
didn't even make it till like twelve
9:44
thirty at night and we were packing up
9:46
and heading home.
9:50
So, yeah, camping.
9:53
We're not a camping family.
9:54
That's that's for darn sure.
9:58
So I wanted to I want to bring
10:01
up a couple of things.
10:02
It's just me.
10:02
It's probably going to be a shorter show.
10:03
I'm trying to build a grill today.
10:07
I had a smoker grill for a long
10:09
time that I used like faithfully a couple
10:13
times a week.
10:14
And it finally died.
10:16
Got rid of it.
10:18
And then I saw the price of grills
10:20
now and I was like,
10:22
I just can't see myself doing that.
10:26
And
10:27
Yesterday, I was like, man,
10:28
I haven't had a grilled piece of chicken
10:31
all summer.
10:32
And I'm just dying for it.
10:33
So I went on to see what Labor
10:36
Day end of summer sales there were on
10:39
grills.
10:41
And I got a little tiny three burner
10:43
grill for ninety bucks.
10:46
Now I'm trying to put it together because
10:49
it's just my wife and I now.
10:51
And at least I can throw a burger
10:54
or some chicken on there.
10:56
But I'm almost done.
10:57
I'm almost done.
10:58
I've got the top all together.
11:00
I've got the bottom all together.
11:02
Now I've just got to combine the two.
11:05
But my wife's coming home this afternoon,
11:07
and hopefully tonight we can have a nice
11:09
piece of grilled chicken for dinner.
11:12
That's the plan.
11:15
But I wanted to share this with you.
11:21
So here's my problem with the Blackstone,
11:24
Ed.
11:25
It's not a grill.
11:27
it's,
11:27
it's a flat top and a flat top
11:31
cooks differently than a grill.
11:34
Like I want the char, I want,
11:38
I want grilled vegetables.
11:39
I don't want fried vegetables,
11:42
which is what like a flat top does.
11:47
So, um,
11:52
Yeah, that's my problem with it.
11:54
It's just not what I'm looking for.
11:58
If I want a flat top,
12:01
I have an electric griddle.
12:03
I can do stuff like that.
12:11
Ditto,
12:11
I grilled ten chicken breasts this
12:13
morning.
12:14
Oh, there's Vicky.
12:15
Okay.
12:15
Okay.
12:17
Leave me hanging.
12:18
Just kidding.
12:22
I always have two tanks.
12:23
One is a backup.
12:23
I actually have two tanks because I have
12:26
a propane heater that I use in the
12:28
wintertime in my garage.
12:30
And the crazy thing is my smoker was
12:35
a pellet stove.
12:37
So I was so used to like filling
12:39
pellets.
12:41
So I'm actually going back to propane for
12:43
the first time in like
12:45
eight nine years um so anyway that it
12:51
is um i still push my lawn i
12:59
can't stomach spending money on a riding
13:02
mower all that's wild as long as you
13:07
is i don't know how big your yard
13:08
is mark um so that would be that
13:11
would be the
13:13
I push mow my lawn when I mow
13:15
it.
13:19
With my heart stuff,
13:20
we actually hired a guy to do our
13:22
lawn for the season.
13:24
He's done such a nice job.
13:26
Like,
13:26
I don't know if I can ever go
13:27
back.
13:30
Um, but anyway, yeah, we always push mode,
13:32
but I don't have a lot of yard.
13:35
When I grew up, we had a,
13:36
we had a lot of yard on a
13:37
hill and that was brutal.
13:40
I used to,
13:41
I used to mow in like football cleats.
13:47
So.
13:53
slice up some potatoes thin with some
13:55
onion seasoning, salt and a lot of butter,
13:56
wrap tight in a foil and put over
13:59
the coals for fifteen minutes,
14:00
then indirect heat while grilling your
14:02
protein.
14:03
Awesome.
14:06
That's if you have an open fire, right?
14:10
Or are you talking Blackstone?
14:22
Speaking of football,
14:23
we have not mentioned football yet, Meg.
14:26
It's on the docket.
14:28
It's really going to be on the docket
14:30
tomorrow night for EA Sports.
14:31
There's a lot of football stuff going on.
14:33
A lot of football stuff.
14:36
I don't know how much I'm going to
14:37
dig into it today because I want to
14:41
dig into it tomorrow night with the group.
14:45
So if you haven't been catching the EA
14:46
Sports show every Tuesday night, six p.m.
14:50
Eastern time,
14:52
Garrett Clinton, Jeremy Eat World, myself,
14:55
and Joseph, we kill it.
15:00
And it's so much fun.
15:01
It has become, as Garrett puts it,
15:04
it's her play date,
15:05
so Colleen doesn't have to talk sports.
15:08
And I'm all for it.
15:10
It has been so much fun.
15:17
So.
15:22
Anyway,
15:23
I wanted to share this real quick because
15:27
I went off a couple weeks ago about
15:29
CrossFit not capitalizing on the Tom
15:32
Holland workout thing.
15:34
And I've seen Hiller mention it since and
15:37
some other people do that.
15:40
But what I wanted to show is we
15:42
actually shared this thing about Patrick
15:45
Wilson doing cleans during Cape Fear and
15:50
why he did all that stuff.
15:54
And wouldn't you know it,
15:56
Patrick Wilson did the,
15:58
I think that was the DC High Rocks.
16:01
And High Rocks,
16:02
before the weekend was over,
16:05
before the weekend was over,
16:07
put out this video.
16:16
I'm going to mute the music,
16:17
but there's Patrick Wilson doing a high
16:22
rocks.
16:23
Now he's been interviewed saying that he
16:25
does CrossFit to work out yet.
16:31
Yet CrossFit has not taken advantage of
16:35
any of that.
16:37
They haven't marketed any of him saying
16:39
that.
16:39
It's out on the internet with interviews.
16:42
They show his clean technique,
16:44
which may be the best celebrity clean
16:46
technique I've ever seen.
16:48
And here, look at his wall ball depth.
16:50
Like the guy knows CrossFit.
16:53
And here, high rocks.
16:56
The weekend's not even over.
16:57
The weekend is not even over.
16:59
And they have a full reel with Patrick
17:02
Wilson doing high rocks.
17:05
That pisses me off to no end.
17:10
They are so slow,
17:12
so slow to react to all of this
17:14
stuff.
17:15
It's like it has to go through twenty
17:17
seven layers of approval.
17:19
They might as well work for the
17:20
government.
17:23
It's just ridiculous to me.
17:25
Look at that burpee.
17:26
His burpee was chest to the floor.
17:29
Chest to the floor.
17:30
We don't get celebrities that do this
17:32
stuff and do it at this level of
17:38
technique and standard.
17:47
It's just so upsetting.
17:49
There was a perfect opportunity.
17:51
We showed it on our show, what,
17:54
a month ago?
17:56
A month ago?
18:01
And here it is, High Rocks.
18:05
Twenty minutes after he's done has a reel
18:07
out promoting their sport with this guy
18:10
that actually has awesome technique and is
18:14
well-known outside of the box that is our
18:18
sport or their sport.
18:19
Yeah.
18:22
It is,
18:24
I can't even express to you how pissed
18:27
off I am about this.
18:29
It was the perfect opportunity,
18:31
and then you let High Rocks beat you
18:33
to the punch again.
18:36
He taught CrossFit on this podcast,
18:40
not High Rocks.
18:41
He taught CrossFit.
18:44
And showing the technique of those cleans
18:46
was impeccable.
18:52
And a month later,
18:55
he does a High Rocks,
18:56
doesn't say anything,
18:57
and High Rocks is already using it to
18:59
promote their sport before the weekend is
19:03
done.
19:08
And then you wonder why they're getting a
19:12
million people and we're getting whatever.
19:15
Whatever.
19:24
Mark Phillips says, don't blame us.
19:25
We have no CMO.
19:28
You did when the guy did his podcast.
19:32
Now,
19:32
maybe she didn't have any power at that
19:35
point.
19:39
Who knows?
19:43
It's almost like CrossFit wants to stay
19:45
niche.
19:48
I don't know.
19:50
I was trying to pull something up before
19:51
I went live and I don't think I
19:53
got to it fast enough.
19:55
I'm going to try to do it here
19:56
as I'm talking.
19:57
It's always easy to do two things at
19:59
once while I'm doing this.
20:07
In the same lines,
20:11
I'm going to share this as well.
20:17
So I think this was on Dave's story
20:19
yesterday.
20:20
Yeah.
20:25
So Dave was at the IndyCar race in
20:29
California yesterday.
20:32
And Alex Palou won the race.
20:36
He is part of Chip Ganassi Racing.
20:39
And he does CrossFit to stay fit to
20:42
race.
20:45
So
20:47
In the post, Dave says,
20:52
fun day at the IndyCar race of the
20:56
year at WeatherTech Raceway.
20:59
Had a chance to meet Alex Ballew.
21:01
We're doing a piece on him as he
21:02
uses CrossFit to train for races.
21:05
He's also secured his fifth Indy
21:06
Championship of the year,
21:08
so congrats to him and Chip Ganassi
21:09
Racing.
21:12
What?
21:15
He's already won five races.
21:18
Why is it taking this long?
21:22
I don't know for a fact.
21:23
I know Will Plummer trains one of the
21:25
IndyCar teams.
21:27
Will Plummer that you sometimes see on the
21:28
Glint and Things podcast,
21:30
sometimes calls in Savan.
21:32
He trains one of the IndyCar teams.
21:35
I don't know if this is the one.
21:37
I actually have had a long... Well,
21:41
Will was on Ye Sports a couple weeks
21:43
ago,
21:44
and we were talking about IndyCar versus
21:45
FI.
21:47
And I need to reach out to him
21:49
and find out if this is his team
21:51
and what he's doing to train them.
21:56
But if so,
21:57
Will's been doing this for a couple years.
22:01
Again, everything is slow to react.
22:06
It just takes so long for them to...
22:13
Plummer is the trainer for Chip Ganassi.
22:15
I'll interpret your Ganassi to Ganassi.
22:22
So it is Will Plummer.
22:23
Will Plummer has been...
22:25
talking about the fact that he does
22:27
CrossFit training with this racing team.
22:31
And not just the driver,
22:33
but with the entire pit crew.
22:35
And I know he's been doing it for
22:36
a few years.
22:37
Why is it taking so long to capitalize
22:41
on any of this stuff outside our little
22:44
box?
22:49
It shouldn't take that long.
22:54
High Rocks put it out in the same
22:56
freaking weekend.
23:01
Oh, come on, Jeremy.
23:04
I should send Jeremy a link.
23:06
I don't know what he's doing, though.
23:12
It's just ridiculous that it takes this
23:17
long.
23:19
You had Tom Holland.
23:21
Now Cindy's called the Spider-Man workout.
23:24
instead of cindy because we didn't get in
23:26
front of that then you have patrick wilson
23:30
talking about crossfit and doing an
23:31
impeccable clean and we don't capitalize
23:34
on that he goes does one high rocks
23:37
and they have stuff out before the
23:39
weekend's over and now you have this chip
23:41
ganassi racing who's been training
23:43
crossfit for a couple years and finally
23:46
finally we're doing a show with them
24:00
patrick clark last year wfp did an
24:02
engagement with a bunch of indie drivers
24:03
and teams and we found out they did
24:06
a lot of crossfit type workouts even wfp
24:14
is doing better than crossfit is all this
24:16
stuff and i went to their event it
24:19
was it was as good if not better
24:21
than the games
24:23
Much more enjoyable.
24:29
Agreed, and it's hurting the brand.
24:31
HQ promoting CrossFit will drive
24:32
membership to the gyms,
24:34
which increases affiliate revenue.
24:37
I don't think it's as simple as that.
24:38
I mean, it would take some creativity.
24:40
It would take some ways of showing this.
24:43
But you're reaching a population that
24:46
isn't in the normal CrossFit algorithm.
24:50
That's the key.
24:55
Someone once told me when you're in this
24:58
media world,
25:00
what you're looking for is shares because
25:03
shares get you outside of your normal
25:06
algorithm.
25:07
If people share your stuff,
25:10
it is then shared to their population.
25:13
And the more it's shared and the more
25:16
that trickles out,
25:19
the better off it becomes as a promotion,
25:22
right?
25:24
And so when you,
25:25
like Patrick Wilson shared that or
25:27
collaborated with High Rocks on that
25:30
video,
25:31
so that went to his million and a
25:34
half followers or whatever it is, right?
25:37
Not just High Rocks' followers,
25:39
but now we're going to people who watch
25:41
Cape Fear.
25:46
That's the key, right?
25:48
Yeah.
25:49
If you go back to the Tyson Bajan
25:51
situation,
25:52
which I wouldn't even put it the same.
25:55
I love Tyson.
25:56
I'm a Bears fan.
25:57
But in all reality,
26:00
he is the backup quarterback for the
26:02
Bears.
26:04
We have an indie racing champion.
26:07
We have a guy that's on a huge,
26:10
huge television show that is killing it
26:17
right now.
26:19
And nothing.
26:26
Don't forget Zlatan.
26:29
Zlatan was posting about CrossFit for a
26:31
year before CrossFit shared one of them.
26:36
Just sharing it.
26:47
I don't know.
26:57
One of the downfalls of lack of leadership
27:00
is lack of vision.
27:01
We're living that in the CrossFit world.
27:05
I want to give Bruce a chance because
27:07
I don't think he has his troops in
27:11
place at this point.
27:13
Pardon the analogy.
27:17
I think that is coming in the next
27:19
month or two.
27:21
And we'll see what happens with that.
27:28
But in the meantime,
27:31
the dumpster's on fire and nobody has a
27:33
fire extinguisher.
27:44
Yeah, Wayne, I saw that this morning,
27:46
brought a tear to my eye.
27:48
Matt Sui played for both of my favorite
27:50
teams.
27:51
He was a Penn State Nittany Lion,
27:53
and then he was a Chicago Bear,
27:55
the main fullback blocker for Walter
27:57
Payton and best friend of Walter Payton.
28:03
If you read...
28:06
water Peyton's autobiography, uh,
28:09
at the end of his life,
28:09
what Matt Suey plays a big role in
28:12
that book.
28:13
And, uh, yeah, can't,
28:16
it's years old gone way too soon, man.
28:20
Just like Walter.
28:22
But, uh, yeah,
28:23
that brought a tear to my eye today.
28:31
Um, anyway,
28:36
I think that's it for that thing.
28:40
And then speaking of F-One,
28:45
Will keeps trying to get me to watch
28:47
IndyCar.
28:48
He did on this show.
28:51
My problem with IndyCar is I don't know
28:53
the players yet.
28:55
There's nothing out there that I've gotten
28:57
addicted to anyway.
28:58
Drive to Survive got me to become an
29:02
F-One fan because I now know the players
29:05
in the game.
29:06
And when you know the players in the
29:07
game and you know who you like and
29:09
who you don't like,
29:10
that's what makes sports great.
29:16
And CrossFit's missing the boat on that
29:17
too.
29:21
They do nothing to promote people
29:26
throughout the leaderboard so that you
29:28
have a rooting interest for all of those
29:31
people during a competition.
29:36
The reason that the heats other than the
29:38
final heat get called ass heats is because
29:41
nobody knows who they are.
29:47
We tried for a long time on this
29:48
show to promote the athletes from those
29:52
semifinal athletes,
29:54
those people who just made it to the
29:55
games.
29:58
And I wish I could keep doing that.
30:00
I really wish I could.
30:02
But my job just doesn't allow me to
30:03
do those interviews right now.
30:07
And without the chance of getting fired.
30:12
I really only have my lunch hour now
30:14
to do a show.
30:15
It's a very small window to fit people
30:17
in.
30:20
But that's what F-One did.
30:25
And F-One is huge.
30:26
It's probably the second biggest sport
30:29
around the world behind soccer.
30:35
They get half a million people at a
30:37
race.
30:47
CrossFit missed the mark with NoSean
30:49
Moreno when he was starting running back
30:51
for the Broncos and was doing CrossFit and
30:53
even owned a few boxes.
30:55
Yeah.
30:55
They missed it so bad,
30:56
I didn't even know that, Patrick.
31:00
And my ear was to the grindstone a
31:02
lot.
31:04
And I didn't know that.
31:07
Ed says, Nineteenth to first,
31:09
Kimi was great.
31:10
He was, and that makes me sad.
31:16
He just wins too much right now.
31:18
I don't have a problem with him
31:20
personally, Ed.
31:21
I'm just anti-Mercedes.
31:30
Did Bailey Martin get a backfill for
31:32
Rogue?
31:32
Yes.
31:39
Top-thirty-to-hundred athletes have so
31:41
much storytelling rather than the
31:42
top-thirty we already know about.
31:43
I know.
31:45
Some of my favorite interviews were
31:46
semifinalists in that thirty-to-hundred
31:49
ed.
31:52
The things they overcome,
31:54
and they're so open,
31:55
and they're so willing to tell their story
31:57
because someone actually wants to listen
31:59
and hear it.
32:05
So...
32:08
Just wish I could do more.
32:18
Agreed.
32:18
Would have been nice to have a Ferrari
32:19
win in Monza.
32:20
Yeah.
32:21
Charles Leclerc going out early was not a
32:24
good day for Monza.
32:26
But Kimi is Italian.
32:28
So they got at least an Italian to
32:31
win.
32:32
Right?
32:36
Also, Damon...
32:38
Is it Damon Jones?
32:43
Well,
32:43
Damon from Shark Tank used to own like
32:45
five CrossFit gyms.
32:46
They missed the mark with him as well.
32:51
Yeah.
32:52
He talked about it on Shark Tank too
32:53
when there were people bringing in fitness
32:55
type stuff.
32:57
And none of that was used either.
33:02
It's Damon John.
33:03
Damon John.
33:05
That's what it is.
33:08
Just took me a minute to fire up
33:09
the... Yeah.
33:16
Hire me, pay me six figures,
33:17
and I'll do those interviews, Scott.
33:18
Yeah.
33:21
Not going to happen.
33:24
If I had six figures to give you,
33:25
I wouldn't be doing my day job.
33:32
What else do we got here?
33:37
I'm trying to avoid the football stuff and
33:39
just hold it for, for three gay sports.
33:45
Cause there's just so much to talk about
33:47
and I, I want the back and forth.
33:51
Um,
33:53
I watched a couple of movies this weekend
33:57
too,
33:57
that I would highly recommend someone in
33:59
the chat here recommended to me,
34:01
the Travis Barker documentary, um,
34:04
Thank you.
34:05
Thank you for recommending it.
34:07
It was in credible.
34:15
I,
34:15
it was so moving throughout that
34:20
documentary.
34:20
Like I was on the edge of my
34:22
seat.
34:25
If you don't know who Travis Barker is,
34:26
he's the drummer for blink one.
34:30
And he did a bunch of other stuff
34:32
in the hip-hop world and punk bands.
34:37
And then he was in a plane crash
34:47
where him and one other person were the
34:49
only survivors.
34:51
And sixty-five percent of his body was
34:53
burned.
34:56
And he came back from that.
34:58
And he came back from losing his friends.
35:00
And he came back...
35:02
The amount of stuff that dude has overcome
35:07
to still be one of the greatest drummers
35:09
in music is...
35:13
And they have all the other great drummers
35:15
in this documentary talking about how
35:19
great he is.
35:20
And it is so good.
35:22
If you are a music fan at all,
35:24
if you just want to hear a comeback
35:26
story, it's awesome.
35:30
And then I watched In the Gray.
35:33
It's Henry Cavill and Jake Gyllenhaal.
35:39
It started off and I was like,
35:40
this is...
35:42
This is a little cheeky.
35:42
I don't know if this is going to
35:43
go anywhere.
35:44
And Guy Ritchie is the director for it.
35:52
The cinematography that Guy Ritchie brings
35:54
to movies is so good.
35:56
And in this movie,
35:57
he had such a great storyline.
36:01
It was so well done.
36:02
If you like action and you like great
36:04
cinematography and a great storyline,
36:09
again,
36:09
another movie that I just was on the
36:11
edge of my seat from beginning to end.
36:15
So good.
36:20
And then I watched Masters of the Universe
36:24
earlier in the weekend.
36:25
Again, my wife is gone this weekend.
36:27
She's been gone for a week.
36:29
And I'm not allowed to watch any TV
36:30
shows that we watch together.
36:33
So all I had was movies in my
36:35
downtime.
36:37
Playing drums and watching movies.
36:40
And Masters of the Universe was better
36:42
than I thought it was going to be.
36:44
I don't know if you go in with
36:46
this bar set so low that it just
36:51
exceeded that bar by quite a bit.
36:57
It's definitely worth a watch.
36:59
If you grew up with He-Man at all,
37:02
the Masters of the Universe,
37:03
it did not take itself seriously,
37:05
which is what made it successful,
37:08
in my opinion.
37:10
Because it didn't take itself seriously,
37:12
then you didn't have to either,
37:13
and you just got to go on a
37:15
fun ride.
37:21
The new He-Man was okay.
37:22
Yeah,
37:22
I'm not putting it in Academy Award stuff,
37:24
Ed.
37:26
I'm just saying, like,
37:30
I went in not thinking it was going
37:31
to be much, and it exceeded that bar.
37:35
So then I enjoyed the movie.
37:39
Best Jared Leto in years.
37:41
Agreed.
37:43
Agreed.
37:47
Guy Ritchie is goaded.
37:48
Mobland almost back.
37:51
I've not seen Mobland.
37:53
I need to check that out.
37:57
Travis Barker is goaded.
37:58
He is, Jeremy.
38:02
I don't know what platform, Zed.
38:06
And if you listened to last Friday's show,
38:08
you'll know why.
38:14
Rock stars and planes just don't mix.
38:18
What's wild, KDL,
38:20
is that he avoided planes from that point
38:30
after for a while.
38:33
I don't want to spoil anything if you're
38:34
going to watch a documentary, but...
38:37
and they talk about this in the first
38:38
part,
38:39
like he rode on the queen Mary to
38:42
Europe and back every time his band would
38:46
have to tour in Europe.
38:50
And they,
38:51
they got him a room with a drum
38:53
kit for him to practice and train on.
38:56
And when I say train like that dude
38:58
trains and,
39:00
it's a shame it's not CrossFit.
39:02
Like,
39:02
cause that would be epic if it was,
39:05
and maybe it should be,
39:06
maybe someone needs to say, Hey,
39:07
why don't you try this?
39:09
Um,
39:10
but because of how hard and how fast
39:12
he plays the drums,
39:14
like he has to be in like excellent
39:15
shape.
39:19
And, uh,
39:23
yeah it's good and like i've been playing
39:26
drums for this will be day four today
39:28
once i do my lesson it's a workout
39:31
dude um i underestimated the workout it is
39:35
when you start using the kick drum um
39:40
because you're you're using legs arms the
39:43
whole bit it and that dude plays way
39:47
way way a hundred times faster than i'm
39:49
currently playing
39:58
mark i really don't i don't know what
40:00
platforms they're on and i i i'm sorry
40:02
about that rock band used to kill my
40:08
legs guitar hero and rock band those were
40:12
the days i gotta tell you man i've
40:16
taken i'm on lesson four today it's three
40:19
classes every day yesterday i took them
40:23
twice
40:25
I'm having so much fun.
40:27
It is so much easier to pick up
40:28
than guitar.
40:35
it's still not easy, but it's easier.
40:39
And, uh,
40:40
I'm having such a ball with it.
40:42
I'm hoping it takes over my Lego addiction
40:45
completely.
40:47
And so now I have to buy Legos
40:49
anymore and I can just use that to
40:52
like work my arms and hands when I'm,
40:55
when I'm bored and just, so yeah.
41:02
Plus it's movement, man.
41:04
Like it is really,
41:05
truly like a mini workout.
41:08
It's like my accessory work.
41:11
Uh,
41:12
Jeremy's been drumming since he was love
41:14
to see you getting after it.
41:16
Dude.
41:17
It's so much fun.
41:18
The only bad thing is like next,
41:20
next week I had to Montana and I'm
41:22
going to be away for eight days with
41:25
no drum kit.
41:27
So I don't know.
41:28
I don't know what I'm going to do
41:29
to like stay in practice.
41:33
Or how far I'll fall back during that
41:37
time.
41:40
So I've got to figure that all out.
41:45
I want to leave you with a couple
41:47
funnies just because it's Labor Day and
41:50
why the hell not.
41:56
Bring a couple pencils with you.
42:00
Pillow and sticks.
42:01
Hey, that's not a bad idea.
42:02
I could throw some sticks in my suitcase.
42:08
Yay.
42:08
Montana.
42:09
Get a bucket and sticks.
42:10
Yeah.
42:11
I'm sure my daughter has a bucket.
42:18
Um,
42:20
so first I'm going to do this and
42:23
maybe we'll talk about this on the sports.
42:25
Maybe not.
42:27
Um,
42:29
I don't know if you guys saw this.
42:33
Hopefully it comes up here.
42:37
James Franklin,
42:38
former Penn State coach and now coach of
42:40
Virginia Tech.
42:42
They got a penalty for a crazy,
42:44
crazy reason.
42:45
I don't know if you guys saw this.
42:48
Penalty for high-fiving one of our members
42:52
of the Corps.
42:54
You know, I don't, I don't,
42:56
I'm not a huge fan.
42:57
I don't know why we can't high five
42:59
somebody in the military.
43:01
It seems somewhat un-American to me.
43:05
They got a penalty for high fiving the
43:08
cadets in the military part of their
43:11
school.
43:14
Like it wasn't even like, watch this.
43:18
It's not even like an,
43:19
like an overenthusiastic high five.
43:22
Got a penalty for high-fiving one of our
43:27
members of the Corps.
43:30
I'm not a huge fan.
43:32
I don't know why we can't high-five
43:34
somebody in the military.
43:38
Are you kidding me?
43:42
That is just utterly ridiculous.
43:48
Tomorrow night on EA Sports,
43:50
I have a big-time riff about the NCAA
43:56
and their lack of ability to govern.
44:05
And the fact that this is the hill
44:08
they're going to die on to throw a
44:12
flag for a guy celebrating a touchdown
44:14
with the military members of his school.
44:21
We'll talk about this tomorrow night,
44:22
I'm sure.
44:23
I got Jeremy all queued up now.
44:25
Ref's umps and judges continue to outdo
44:27
each other's stupidity.
44:31
And then we're going to leave on something
44:33
funny.
44:33
I don't know if you've seen this.
44:35
It just cracked me up today.
44:43
Got to turn off the music.
44:45
So this is a hack on how to
44:47
store your water bottles.
44:49
Look at that.
44:50
And then this guy, this is his,
44:54
his version.
44:59
And I know every dude in the chat,
45:02
this is how,
45:02
that is how we get the water out
45:04
of our water package.
45:16
Drew VWI just started listening Sparky for
45:19
twenty years.
45:20
Amen Scott.
45:27
And then the last note,
45:29
we talked about this last week.

We talked about Sporty Beth had a spinal
45:34
cord injury.
45:37
She actually fell, it says here,
45:40
we didn't really know how last week.
45:43
Beth suffered a devastating twenty-foot
45:45
fall that left her spinal cord,
45:48
spinal injury and damage to her spinal
45:50
cord.
45:52
She underwent a nine-hour operation,
45:54
including spinal fusion,
45:56
and is now waiting for an ASIA test,
45:59
which helps classify the severity of the
46:01
injury and her guide to recovery.
46:04
There is a GoFundMe account out there for
46:11
her.
46:12
I know Hillers posted it.
46:14
We put it in our chat on,
46:15
I think, Thursday or Friday last week.
46:20
And I know she got dogged a lot
46:21
by the CrossFit world, but dude,
46:25
she's human.
46:26
She fell, she's hurt.
46:27
She needs help.
46:28
And I know the one thing about this
46:30
community is it rallies around those in
46:32
need.
46:33
And hopefully we can raise some money for
46:36
her.
46:38
because nobody deserves to go through all
46:40
this and then struggle with how they're
46:43
going to pay for it.
46:43
So I'll leave it with that.
46:48
Prayers and thoughts out to Sporty Beth.
46:51
Hope she recovers quickly and regains all
46:55
of her strength back.
46:58
With that,
46:59
I hope everybody has a great rest of
47:01
your day.
47:07
KDL,
47:08
those are pictures from the past before
47:10
she got injured.
47:17
Anyway,
47:17
I hope everybody has a great rest of
47:19
your day.
47:20
It's happy Labor Day.
47:22
Make sure you thank those people who
47:23
helped build this country with their own
47:25
two hands.
47:26
With that, I hope everybody just,
47:30
I don't know, stay jazzy.
47:32
You wouldn't wait to get to the editing
47:34
room to jazz me up.
47:36
I'm already jazzy.
47:48
Midday motivation every time you press
47:50
call.
48:05
Lunch with the Clydesdale Cavalry in the
48:07
heat.
48:07

48:09
Half hour hustle, yeah,
48:10

48:12
Grab a plate, you
