Lunch with the Clydesdale - I Guess I am Not a Man... Are You? · Clydesdale Media Podcast

0:08
Apparently, I am not a man.
0:11
We're going to talk about that next.
0:25
I love the chase and the hunt and
0:27
I set the pace when I'm running.
0:28
I always take what I want and I
0:30
always give it one hundred.
0:31
Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.
0:33
Play the game like it's nothing.
0:34
I'm always thankful for something.
0:36
Don't take for granted, stay humble.
0:37
Now wake up!
0:39
It's time to look at the enemy.
0:41
Look in the mirror if he is no
0:43
friend to me.
0:44
It's not working out,
0:45
maybe it's the chemistry.
0:47
It's time to break up.
0:55
it's lunch time what is going on everybody
0:58
welcome to lunch with the clydesdale we
1:00
are back and better than ever maybe
1:04
I'm still recovering from the surgery from
1:06
last week.
1:08
Bear with me as still experiencing a lot
1:11
of drainage.
1:12
I'm going to go as long as I
1:14
can for the next forty five minutes and
1:18
do what I can to hang in there.
1:20
We did a show last night.
1:22
I did have some repercussions from having
1:24
to talk so much last night.
1:27
So hopefully we can do that today without
1:30
as much happening.
1:32
Going solo is making it a little more
1:35
tenuous,
1:36
but we're going to do what we can.
1:38
We're going to try to bring you a
1:39
show every day this week.
1:42
everything is going super well with the
1:44
recovery uh just you know some lingering
1:47
things that i have to work through um
1:50
before i'm able to blow my nose again
1:54
and really just kind of empty things out
1:56
so
1:58
I'm super stoked to be with you.
1:59
I wanted to start off today with some
2:02
stuff I just learned about within the last
2:04
hour.
2:05
It was posted to Pat Vellner's Instagram
2:08
story.
2:09
If you did not see this,
2:13
here is what it is.
2:15
I don't know if you can see this
2:16
very well,
2:17
but here's a story of Pat Vellner in
2:20
a hospital room getting his chest shaved.
2:24
And then on the next slide,
2:28
They did a great job with his chest
2:31
shaved like so.
2:33
And then on the next slide,
2:36
and of course,
2:37
let me try to do this again.
2:42
For some reason, there we go.
2:45
All right.
2:47
So I'm getting a heart ablation.
2:50
I'm okay.
2:51
Son of a gun.
2:53
I'm getting a heart ablation.
2:55
I'm okay.
2:56
Do not panic.
3:01
If you've been following me at all,
3:04
a heart ablation is generally done,
3:06
I believe, if you have AFib.
3:08
As someone who has suffered from AFib a
3:09
couple times in the last couple of years,
3:15
One of the things done along the line
3:18
to help cure it is to have a
3:20
heart ablation.
3:22
It's not something that should put him out
3:24
for a lengthy period of time,
3:26
but it does hopefully keep his heart in
3:29
rhythm.
3:30
But if you've never had AFib,
3:32
it really does kind of take the wind
3:35
out of you when you're in it.
3:37
and um it makes working out very very
3:40
hard um afib is not life-threatening what
3:44
is like what becomes the danger from afib
3:48
is a stroke um because the blood is
3:51
not pumping at a rhythm that makes sense
3:54
so it pulls and then it can clot
3:57
and then once you get a blood clot
3:58
then you are at risk for a stroke
4:02
so um
4:04
So yeah, I have had AFib twice.
4:06
I've been cardioverted twice.
4:10
And I'm here now.
4:11
Mark Phillips had AFib once.
4:12
Got cardioverted and was good to go.
4:14
Hasn't returned.
4:15
Yeah.
4:17
I've been through this a lot.
4:18
So it's actually something I'm pretty
4:20
familiar with.
4:23
Cardioversion is the first technique.
4:26
Second is a cardioversion with medication.
4:31
And then...
4:33
And then there's the ablation.
4:34
And then thank goodness we have Shanna,
4:37
our resident MD, not AFib necessarily,
4:41
could be other arrhythmias.
4:43
Okay.
4:43
Thank you for the clarification.
4:46
But that was on his stories just within
4:49
the last hour that that is happening with
4:53
Pat Vellner.
4:54
So we'll be looking out in the next
4:56
few days to see where that goes and
4:59
what occurs with that.
5:02
And maybe we'll learn more as we go.
5:07
But for someone who has been around the
5:08
sport for a long time,
5:10
when you see something like that,
5:13
Of course,
5:13
there's general concern for his health and
5:15
well-being and our thoughts and prayers go
5:18
out to him and his family and hope
5:20
that everything came out just fine.
5:27
Mark Phillips, yes,
5:28
could be just tachycardia.
5:31
Yeah.
5:33
Again,
5:33
I'm experienced with the AFib part of it.
5:35
I don't know much else,
5:37
but just wanted to share that as it
5:39
came out within the last hour.
5:45
The cowboy.
5:50
Cowboy.
5:50
Dude,
5:50
I didn't realize how bad you sounded until
5:52
I hear you now.
5:52
You sound better.
5:56
glad i sound better i vocally i sound
6:00
i feel better um it's just the drainage
6:03
still from the sinus hopefully um
6:07
hopefully that like slows down in the next
6:09
few days and then thursday i'm allowed to
6:12
start blowing my nose so hopefully i can
6:14
get that out instead of it being kind
6:16
of in there i do like three rinses
6:19
a day
6:20
of my nose trying to get out as
6:21
much as I can um but it's it
6:25
just the more I talk the more the
6:28
the mucus forms in the sinus cavity so
6:31
that's why I'm like tenuous as to how
6:33
long I can go today uh Mark says
6:38
I kind of look better too well thank
6:40
you thank you I had them uh pull
6:43
the cheeks up a little bit and I'm
6:44
just kidding
6:49
Elite athletes at risk for AFib and
6:51
dilated left ventricle.
6:54
Oh, wow.
6:55
Okay.
6:57
Nice.
7:00
so uh so we have that with the
7:03
pat velner news we also had this breaking
7:06
within the last hour and a half and
7:09
barbell spin and andrew hiller have
7:11
already made clips on this uh but james
7:14
sprague announced on the savon podcast
7:16
today that he would be doing the world
7:19
fitness project as it would be silly of
7:21
him to not do it since he was
7:23
the top contract winner of last season
7:27
um and he is actually scaling back his
7:29
semi-final season to just one semi-final
7:33
and then the wfp and someone that's as
7:36
good as james has the confidence that they
7:38
can punch their ticket at an event like
7:41
norcal use the other time that would have
7:44
been a semi-final to punch his ticket um
7:47
to compete in the wfp and earn i
7:50
believe the hundred thousand dollar
7:51
contract he earned uh last season
7:56
In addition to that,
7:58
this is what he said during that time,
8:02
and I don't know if the boys necessarily
8:07
knew he was going to say this,
8:08
but here it is.
8:10
Maybe I'll go do a couple WFP events
8:13
this year.
8:14
You should.
8:14
Come cover me.
8:15
Come hang out with me.
8:16
I'd love to do it.
8:16
I'm the only one out of the boys
8:17
doing it.
8:20
So I am the only one out of
8:21
the boys doing the WFP.
8:26
So there you have it.
8:29
I don't think that's been confirmed
8:30
anywhere else.
8:31
The other thing that is odd is if
8:33
you watch Jenny's a dense updates this
8:35
morning, she talked about that, um,
8:37
announcements for signed contracts ended,
8:40
uh, January, I believe.
8:43
In addition to that,
8:45
if you go to the world fitness project,
8:47
Instagram page,
8:48
James Sprague is not even listed as a
8:50
signed athlete for that.
8:53
Um,
8:56
Um, for that,
8:59
he's not even posted as an athlete who
9:01
has signed yet.
9:03
And he said he is doing it.
9:05
Uh,
9:05
so there's gotta be a backlog of
9:06
information coming out of WFP, but yeah,
9:10
We have learned that two of them are
9:12
not doing it for three of them are
9:13
not doing it for sure through this
9:15
conversation and that James is putting all
9:17
of his eggs in the NorCal basket.
9:21
CJ, I see you say Del Mar.
9:22
He is not doing Del Mar.
9:25
He is spacing it out so that he
9:26
can do WFP tour stop one in Mexico
9:31
City and NorCal two.
9:33
Because there's enough space between the
9:34
two.
9:35
And the reason I know that is Savant
9:38
said he is streaming NorCal and that they
9:41
would be together at that event where
9:43
James is trying to punch his ticket.
9:47
So keeping it real came to say I'm
9:57
not a man can't carry dumbbells.
9:58
Yeah,
9:59
we're going to get into that in a
10:00
second.
10:05
Uh, trained all of it's a leak.
10:07
Yeah.
10:10
I think what we love about James is
10:12
he's so open and transparent with us and
10:14
tells us what's going on in his life.
10:17
But he also, I think leaks information.
10:20
Sometimes he's not supposed to because
10:23
he's so open and honest and transparent.
10:26
So it's one of those, you're like,
10:27
you take the good with the bad and
10:29
hopefully, hopefully it's not too bad.
10:41
Uh, Shanna says that spin.
10:43
Yeah.
10:45
She has a spin says Madera,
10:47
some pepper declined WFP for next year.
10:49
Yeah.
10:50
It's all based on the interview that James
10:52
did with Savon this morning that I was
10:54
watching live when he announced it.
10:57
Um,
10:59
and it didn't take long for both Hiller
11:01
and barbell spin to then release
11:02
information on that.
11:06
So
11:13
Yeah,
11:13
I believe James said on Boys Interrupted a
11:14
couple weeks ago that he has a wedding
11:17
to attend the week end of Del Mar
11:19
II.
11:20
Yeah.
11:25
He always drops the tea casually.
11:27
He does.
11:28
He does.
11:29
He's got to be great material for you,
11:30
Jenny.
11:31
Great material.
11:38
Yes, Trish, it is lunchtime.
11:40
Lunchtime on the East Coast.
11:42
of the united states i know people are
11:45
gathering from other places as well so um
11:50
the other thing i want to say about
11:51
boys interrupted um as a as a bears
11:54
geek fan uh tyson bajent was on last
11:57
night and i was in heaven getting to
11:59
listen to uh the inside knowledge he was
12:02
dropping about um
12:06
about the bears and their schedule and how
12:09
they do things and how strength and
12:11
conditioning goes, how, uh,
12:13
what resources they have available to the
12:15
athletes.
12:16
Um, I,
12:18
I can't get enough of Tyson Bajan on
12:20
these shows because just like
12:22
james tyson is very open and transparent
12:25
and honest and you get to learn so
12:27
much and uh if you are a football
12:31
fan at all we don't get the glimpse
12:33
into what a day in the life of
12:34
a football player is and the fact that
12:39
um tyson was able to give this to
12:41
us last night just hanging out with some
12:44
buddies uh it was really cool and i
12:46
really really appreciated it so uh
12:55
Andrew Sten,
12:55
see Heppner's video teasing competition as
12:58
a master, competing as a master.
13:00
I didn't see it yet.
13:01
I saw the video.
13:04
I assume that's kind of what it was.
13:06
Uh, but I did not, um,
13:09
I did not dive into it.
13:11
It's been honestly,
13:12
Andrew has just been tough with, uh,
13:16
the stints in my nose until yesterday,
13:18
just concentrating without my eyes and my
13:21
head hurting for a little bit.
13:23
Uh,
13:23
so I could only do like small little
13:25
movements, small little, uh, content, um,
13:29
consumption at, at times.
13:31
But, uh,
13:32
I'm hoping to catch up this week.
13:38
Lito says it's tea time in the UK.
13:40
There you go.
13:45
So let's talk about being a man.
13:48
So if you missed it yesterday,
13:50
or maybe I don't know when it came
13:51
out,
13:52
but Andrew Hiller made a video about it
13:53
last night that I was watching.
13:56
And it was Josh Bridges talking about what
13:59
he thinks every man should be able to
14:01
do.
14:03
And I just want to say,
14:06
I think it's ridiculous.
14:09
To put no parentheticals around this at
14:11
all and just say every man should be
14:12
able to do this, I think is absurd.
14:17
And so here it is.
14:18
I just screen froze the spot where the
14:22
list was so we could kind of talk
14:24
about it.
14:26
And the man test.
14:29
You should be able to do a seven-minute
14:30
mile run
14:33
back squat your body weight for ten reps,
14:36
bench press your body weight for ten reps,
14:37
which what he's saying there is your back
14:40
squat and your bench press should be the
14:42
same.
14:45
Who the hell benches and squats the same?
14:50
That's just absurd.
14:53
Do be able to do ten pull-ups,
14:56
deadlift one point five times your body
14:58
weight for ten reps.
15:01
take a sandbag ground to shoulder body
15:03
weight.
15:05
So pick up your body weight in a
15:06
sandbag and put it to your shoulder.
15:11
Uh,
15:11
thirty pushups unbroken and then swim five
15:15
hundred meters in under ten minutes.
15:19
So I was like,
15:22
so I was thinking about this as he's
15:25
going through this list as like in,
15:29
in my peak condition in my life,
15:34
how would I fare during all of this?
15:38
And I wouldn't, I wouldn't do well.
15:42
I wouldn't, I just wouldn't do well.
15:46
Now, like in my peak swimming condition,
15:47
could I run a seven minute mile?
15:49
I could back then.
15:51
Could I back squat my body weight ten
15:53
reps?
15:53
I probably could.
15:54
But I don't think I could bench press
15:56
my body weight for ten reps at that
15:59
point in time.
16:01
Maybe, but probably not.
16:04
I could do the ten pull-ups.
16:05
The deadlift would have been tough for ten
16:08
reps, maybe.
16:10
The sandbag would never have happened.
16:13
Um, thirty push-ups probably,
16:15
and I could do the swim.
16:17
But that is at my, like,
16:18
peak when I was training five hours a
16:20
day.
16:21
That is not like an everyday person or
16:24
an everyday man.
16:28
Uh, Trish, yes,
16:29
if you can do all this,
16:30
it makes you a man,
16:31
according to Josh Bridges.
16:33
There are no parentheticals.
16:35
Uh, there are no parameters.
16:36
If you can do this,
16:37
you are a man.
16:40
Um...
16:43
Andrew says,
16:43
so does this mean when you hit a
16:44
certain age, you're no longer a man?
16:46
Or is this for a specific age range?
16:49
Andrew, he gave no age ranges.
16:51
It was all men.
16:54
So at a certain age,
16:55
if you can no longer do this,
16:57
you are no longer a man.
17:01
Lito says, is there a woman test too?
17:04
I do not believe there is a woman
17:05
test.
17:08
This was just Josh Bridges.
17:13
He does not give an age range.
17:16
It's.
17:17
Eighteen or eighty.
17:18
You are still judged the same according to
17:20
Josh on this man.
17:22
This man test.
17:31
Corey says sorry Lito men only.
17:32
Well if Lito can do all this then
17:35
she's a man.
17:36
That's what it says.
17:39
Yeah.
17:42
John George,
17:44
his mustache has taken over his brain.
17:49
Eighteen to eighty blind,
17:51
crippled or crazy.
17:52
Yeah, all that.
17:54
I mean, let's be honest,
17:56
if he's doing this for content creation,
17:59
there's been videos made about it.
18:00
I'm sitting here talking about it now.
18:02
Maybe he's getting what he wants out of
18:04
this to have a discussion.
18:06
And do I think there should be a
18:08
test for what means fitness for a human
18:12
being or a man or maybe some parameters?
18:15
Yeah, I think there is some of that.
18:17
By making it so absurd like this, though,
18:20
it's become a content topic that we're all
18:22
talking about.
18:23
And so he's probably accomplished his
18:25
goal.
18:28
Not everything that you put out there has
18:30
to be
18:32
When you're creating content,
18:34
people are trying to get likes and views
18:37
and all of that stuff.
18:38
It's creating that.
18:39
It's doing all the stuff you wanted it
18:41
to do.
18:47
CJ says, it's not that absurd.
18:49
The only absurdity is not putting an age
18:51
limit on it.
18:52
Yeah,
18:53
and I think it's a great goal for
18:55
if you want to be considered fit for
18:58
the rest of your life.
19:00
I think maybe it's a great list for
19:02
that.
19:03
I do think the same weight of bench
19:05
press and squat is a little off.
19:07
And I think that having bench press and
19:09
push-ups, both based on body weight,
19:11
is a little bit off.
19:13
I think there could be some refining to
19:15
this for sure.
19:16
But I think it could be like a
19:18
good discussion is if you can do all
19:20
this, you're pretty fit.
19:22
And that's a good thing moving forward in
19:25
life.
19:26
And what I wanted to talk about is,
19:28
as I was watching Hiller go over this,
19:30
the whole time I'm thinking is when I
19:32
was a kid back in the eighties,
19:34
which was what, a hundred years ago,
19:37
my high school had what they called the
19:39
gold shirt test.
19:42
And basically what it was is,
19:44
When you got to high school,
19:46
there were ten things that they tested you
19:49
on.
19:50
And based on how you finished on those
19:52
tests, you could earn a white shirt,
19:55
a blue shirt, a red shirt,
19:56
or a gold shirt.
19:58
Gold meaning the best,
20:00
white meaning that you didn't hit any of
20:02
the top levels, blue third, red second.
20:09
for a lot of people in my high
20:10
school,
20:11
that became a goal because if you earned
20:14
a gold shirt at my high school,
20:16
your name went up in the gym forever,
20:20
right?
20:20
Forever and ever go back today.
20:22
And if you earned a gold shirt in
20:28
And I know that my phys ed teacher
20:30
at the time was looked at as this
20:33
was a really cool concept and was brought
20:36
to a lot of different conferences around
20:40
the country to talk about this and talk
20:44
about what it means and what it would
20:46
do.
20:46
And back then,
20:48
it was like if you could – so
20:52
pull-ups was a test.
20:53
If you could do eight unbroken pull-ups,
20:57
you got a blue shirt.
20:58
If you could do fourteen unbroken
21:01
pull-ups, you got a red shirt.
21:02
And if you could do twenty unbroken
21:04
pull-ups, you got a gold shirt.
21:07
And then to earn a gold shirt,
21:08
you had to earn the gold level of
21:10
every single standard.
21:12
And there were sit-ups.
21:13
There was treading water.
21:14
There was underwater swim.
21:16
There was running.
21:20
I think it was a four hundred instead
21:21
of a mile.
21:25
It's been eons ago,
21:26
so I don't remember all the...
21:27
I know rope climb was one.
21:29
If you could climb to the top of
21:30
the rope, you got a blue shirt.
21:32
If you could climb to the top of
21:33
the rope without legs,
21:34
you got a red shirt.
21:36
If you could go up and back down
21:38
and then back up halfway was a gold
21:40
shirt and rope climb.
21:42
And the reason I remember that distinctly
21:43
is that is the only thing I didn't
21:44
earn a gold shirt in when I was
21:46
in high school.
21:46
And it prevented me from getting my name
21:49
on the gym wall forever is I could
21:51
not do...
21:52
the second ascent up the rope halfway to
21:56
get my gold shirt.
21:59
And it was, it was,
22:02
it was fierce competition in my school
22:04
because you wanted to earn it.
22:06
You got to wear that color in your
22:09
gym class.
22:10
Um, and it was a status symbol.
22:12
Like I earned,
22:13
if you earned blue or above on everything,
22:15
you got to wear a blue shirt.
22:16
If you earned red or above on everything,
22:19
you got to wear a red shirt.
22:20
And if you got gold,
22:22
you got to wear gold shirt in the
22:24
gym class, uh, forever.
22:26
Um,
22:28
And so it is,
22:31
what I like about that is Hiller at
22:32
the end came in with tears, um,
22:35
in a different manner, but it really,
22:37
before he even said that I was thinking
22:40
this really fits with what we did in
22:42
high school.
22:42
And I really think they should do
22:44
something more like that.
22:45
And, and then it gives goals and, uh,
22:49
measures for people to reach for,
22:51
and you could do it as an adult.
22:53
It doesn't have to be just a high
22:54
school thing.
22:56
Um,
22:59
It's like the presidential fitness test
23:01
they had in the seventies.
23:03
It was very similar to that, John.
23:05
And I think like two of the president's
23:06
physical fitness tests actually counted
23:10
toward your shirt level.
23:12
But only two of the ten.
23:14
Because like there was no underwater swim.
23:16
There was no tread water.
23:18
I think they made it a four hundred,
23:19
which was just one lap of the track
23:22
for time for that.
23:26
So, but I think it's...
23:30
I think it's something that like even
23:33
CrossFit could adopt as like a goal chart
23:36
for people.
23:37
And maybe you sell CrossFit shirts that
23:40
say like,
23:41
I've reached all the levels of these
23:44
movements at this level.
23:46
And I get to,
23:46
I get to purchase a CrossFit shirt in
23:49
that color.
23:50
Like that would be something cool for the
23:52
community to get around.
23:53
And then you could wear that around and
23:55
everybody, everybody,
23:58
in your gym would know that you were
24:00
able to accomplish all this stuff.
24:06
Um, uh,
24:11
Jay Bertu has an inside track with, uh,
24:14
Josh Burgess says it, it was told,
24:17
I was told it should be eight to
24:18
five by the man.
24:25
Um,
24:29
Trish says this is like sixtieth
24:30
percentile crossfit requirement or maybe
24:33
seventieth.
24:34
Yeah, I don't disagree with that.
24:36
I think that that is probably what it
24:38
is.
24:39
And I think it's something that could be
24:42
fun to measure and a goal to achieve
24:45
for different crossfitters.
24:48
That's a little bit different and
24:50
something to bring the community together.
24:58
Um,
25:02
Isn't that kind of the levels thing in
25:04
the open, though, minus the shirt?
25:07
I don't think so, Vicki,
25:09
because it's independent movements that
25:11
you're trying to get better at.
25:14
I remember when I first started CrossFit,
25:16
we had Goat Day,
25:17
where if there was something that you...
25:19
Like, when I first started CrossFit,
25:21
I was over five hundred pounds.
25:22
My run was not at a level that
25:25
I could do workouts in a way that
25:28
made me successful.
25:30
So my goal was to get my mile
25:32
time down to a level where I could
25:35
at least complete workouts, right?
25:38
So whenever it was GOAT day,
25:39
I went for a run.
25:41
right?
25:41
Other people would work on their muscle
25:43
ups.
25:44
Other people would work on this or that.
25:46
This is stripping down the movements as a
25:49
way to like,
25:50
if you want to be great at the
25:51
open,
25:52
you need to be great at these ten
25:53
things.
25:55
And you need to check all these boxes
25:57
to be a bulletproof or a complete athlete.
26:01
So it's taking it one step further.
26:05
And maybe it's something you do in the
26:06
fall opposite of the open to get you
26:10
prepared and ready to then compete in the
26:13
open.
26:14
So you can focus on your weaknesses.
26:16
And it would be a chart to tell
26:18
you where you stand and where you need
26:21
more improvement so that when the open
26:23
comes,
26:23
you are more prepared and better ready to
26:26
do so.
26:32
um uh ken walters like the shirt you
26:37
get for the rogue a thousand pound
26:39
challenge exactly that's exactly what was
26:41
in my head when i thought well one
26:44
my high school experience plus that rogue
26:46
does it for the thousand pound challenge
26:49
you could transfer that over to something
26:51
like that um
27:06
Wouldn't singling out specific movements
27:08
as a test like that be contradictory to
27:10
the methodology?
27:11
I don't think so, Vicki.
27:12
Don't we try to work on our weaknesses
27:14
in our off time?
27:16
Like,
27:16
don't you after class work on something so
27:19
you're better at it when the class comes?
27:26
I just think that...
27:31
We all work on our weaknesses.
27:33
We all work on,
27:34
because there's always something that
27:36
comes up in a workout where like the
27:38
class passes you by and you need to
27:40
get better at that.
27:42
And isn't it cool to know what those
27:44
things are as like a separate test?
27:47
It's all part of fitness.
27:49
You're not going against the methodology.
27:51
I'm not saying stop doing Metcons
27:52
altogether.
27:54
I'm saying periodically test yourself on
27:56
these movements so you know where you
27:58
stand and you know where you need to
28:00
get better so when the Metcon comes,
28:03
you are good enough to hang.
28:09
Okay.
28:15
A CrossFit, wait,
28:17
is that a Nintendo back there?
28:18
How'd I miss that?
28:19
Corey is right.
28:20
That is a Lego Nintendo that I made
28:25
about, I don't know, maybe a year ago.
28:27
But thank you for noticing.
28:33
Jay Burch,
28:34
my fastest mile was five fifty seven when
28:36
I was fourteen at one hundred fifty
28:37
pounds.
28:38
I will never be a man again just
28:39
on the seven minute mile parameter.
28:43
Yeah, I think that, um,
28:48
Yeah,
28:48
I think like with a lot of work,
28:51
maybe I could get there again.
28:52
I think running is something that you just
28:54
kind of have to keep doing and you
28:56
have to commit to.
28:58
When I was trying to lose weight,
29:00
I would do two runs a week outside
29:03
of the gym because running was my
29:05
weakness.
29:05
Every time we had to go on a
29:08
run,
29:08
it didn't matter how fast I could cycle
29:10
a barbell.
29:11
It didn't matter how many pull-ups I could
29:13
do.
29:13
It didn't matter my speed on wall balls.
29:15
The minute we hit a run,
29:16
everybody passed me.
29:18
And if I wanted to get better,
29:21
I had to take time outside of the
29:24
gym to get better at running.
29:27
And so I would do that.
29:29
And I would commit to that.
29:31
And I would commit to that two days
29:33
a week.
29:35
And maybe, just maybe, in the near future,
29:38
once all these medical things are done,
29:40
I can try to get back to that
29:42
running.
29:43
I can try to get back to it.
29:44
Because that, again,
29:45
is now my weakness again.
29:48
One,
29:48
it helps with the cardio part of it
29:50
so I have more wind during a workout.
29:55
And if I go on a run,
29:57
maybe I don't lose as much time to
29:59
everybody else out on that run.
30:09
Uh, Vicki says, of course,
30:10
but you're talking about generalizing a
30:12
certain number of movements to get a
30:13
particular shirt.
30:14
That's all I'm saying.
30:15
And every workout,
30:16
shouldn't someone gauge their weaknesses?
30:18
Sure.
30:19
But I think this,
30:20
but we're not all like professional
30:21
coaches.
30:22
We're not all, um,
30:24
self-aware i think that if you test and
30:27
you see where you stand on a chart
30:29
you know and the thousand pound challenge
30:32
is done by crossfitters around the globe
30:35
that rogue does every year and that's
30:37
taking three movements and testing those
30:40
three movements bench deadlift squat can
30:43
you do a thousand pounds
30:46
And they have different levels of that.
30:47
They have like, I think a seven fifty,
30:50
a thousand, a twelve fifty,
30:52
a fifteen hundred.
30:55
And it's just something to break up your
30:57
the monotony of the year.
30:59
You don't have to just like dive into
31:01
Metcon after Metcon after Metcon.
31:03
We can work on the things we're bad
31:05
at.
31:06
Fitness is still fitness.
31:10
Right.
31:13
So.
31:15
It's all working toward the same goal of
31:17
being fit.
31:19
There's no guardrail in CrossFit that
31:22
says...
31:24
You cannot work on muscle-ups for the next
31:27
thirty days because that is against the
31:29
methodology.
31:30
No, you can do that.
31:33
We have free will.
31:34
We can work on whatever we think we
31:36
need work on so that we are better
31:40
and better prepared for the workout that
31:42
comes.
31:44
And because we worked on that,
31:46
our overall fitness will grow.
31:58
Um,
31:59
at AI is venturing into something that I
32:00
don't want it to,
32:01
to like disintegrate into.
32:03
And that is don't elite athletes get
32:05
really good at movements for the white
32:06
leader shirt.
32:07
Yes.
32:08
For a paycheck to same concept.
32:10
Yes.
32:11
I don't want to take it to like
32:13
purely competitive, but we all,
32:16
the reason we do CrossFit is we're,
32:18
we're competitive in some way.
32:19
That's what attracts you to CrossFit
32:22
because it's timed or counted and you have
32:24
a number at the end of what you
32:26
do.
32:26
That means something.
32:28
And when you get that score,
32:30
you want to do better.
32:32
Whether you're competing against your
32:34
friend, your arch rival, or yourself,
32:37
you want to do better than you did
32:38
the time before.
32:40
And the way to do that is to
32:41
get better at specific movements within
32:45
workouts where you suffer and you lose
32:48
pace or lose ground to whatever you're
32:52
doing.
32:54
And it could be anybody from Joe Average,
32:59
Me to Vicky to anyone.
33:04
You just want to get better.
33:06
And every time you get better at
33:07
something, your fitness level goes up.
33:10
And that's okay.
33:15
I don't want to...
33:16
Because elite athletes have a specific
33:19
goal in mind that they are trying to
33:21
do.
33:25
And...
33:28
And they are trying to win money,
33:29
win prize money, win games.
33:31
They are trying to game the system to
33:34
get through a weekend the best way
33:35
possible.
33:36
I'm just saying for overall general
33:38
fitness,
33:39
having a list of items that you could
33:41
test and see where you stand on that
33:43
list of fitness is not a bad idea.
33:49
And I do think it should be tiered
33:50
so you know this is a really bad
33:53
weakness or it's a somewhat weakness or
33:56
maybe it's not a weakness at all,
33:57
and you can kind of see that through
33:59
some graphing and charting.
34:05
So um.
34:10
So that's pretty much what I have to
34:11
say about that.
34:12
And thank you, Vicki.
34:15
I love feedback because it gives us
34:17
something to talk about and it makes the
34:19
conversation better.
34:20
So I'm not trying to argue with you.
34:24
I want to have the discussion.
34:26
And so I appreciate the feedback, truly.
34:36
Do you think Bridges would have gotten bad
34:38
heat if he did a female version of
34:40
the test?
34:45
I think there are some flaws to it.
34:48
So I think that whether he did a
34:50
female test or not,
34:51
he would have gotten some bad feedback.
35:00
Um, and I see the mutual love, uh,
35:03
but maybe we don't have it numbered out,
35:05
but fitness in a hundred words gives us
35:07
a list.
35:08
It gives you a list, right?
35:09
But we don't know what the score is.
35:11
And without a score,
35:12
we don't know where we stand.
35:14
And so I think you do need to
35:16
have like levels so you understand where
35:22
in that parameter,
35:24
whether it be a percentile,
35:26
whether it be just some blank times,
35:30
whatever,
35:30
so that we can understand where you are.
35:33
That's all.
35:38
Because if we're doing CrossFit and it's
35:40
not measured, then does it really count?
35:48
All right,
35:48
I'm going to finish up with this because
35:50
I've been recovering for the last couple
35:52
of days.
35:52
I've watched a lot of content where I
35:56
just needed to go brain dead.
35:58
And I've watched some shows.
36:05
David Reed,
36:06
I'm okay with the idea of Josh's test,
36:08
but the randomness of his metrics is
36:10
suspect.
36:11
Yeah,
36:11
I think there's just some flaws in it.
36:13
And again,
36:14
I think he just put it out there
36:17
for a discussion topic and to get views
36:19
and likes,
36:20
and that he accomplished considerably.
36:25
Observable, measurable, repeatable,
36:27
no clock, no crossfit.
36:30
So this weekend I tried to watch some
36:32
stuff just to kind of relax and kind
36:34
of get away from things.
36:36
Uh, and one good thing I watched was,
36:40
uh,
36:40
the wrecking crew with Jason Momoa and
36:43
Dave Batista.
36:45
It was a good old fashioned eighties
36:46
action movie.
36:48
Um,
36:49
there wasn't a lot of thinking to it
36:51
it was just explosions car chases uh
36:53
shootouts uh by two big muscly men and
36:58
i enjoyed it immensely um i wouldn't say
37:01
it's
37:02
you know,
37:03
going to be a Nobel Peace Prize for
37:05
literature type of thing.
37:07
But it was extremely entertaining in my
37:10
opinion.
37:11
And I really, really,
37:12
really enjoyed it a great deal.
37:14
And it is free on Amazon Prime right
37:16
now.
37:17
So if you're looking something like that
37:19
to watch, it's a great find for you.
37:23
I also tried to watch Begonia on Peacock.
37:28
It is Emma Stone.
37:33
I could not.
37:34
I could not.
37:36
Could not get through it.
37:37
I made it thirty five to forty minutes
37:40
and it never,
37:41
ever developed into anything.
37:44
I'm not I couldn't even finish it to
37:46
tell you if it was good,
37:47
bad or indifferent.
37:49
I just could never understand the concept
37:52
or what was trying to be achieved in
37:55
those forty minutes.
37:56
And the soundtrack was trying to create
38:00
tension and it was just hurting my head.
38:05
Um, so, uh, Lito says she liked begonia.
38:10
Uh, so she liked it.
38:11
I, the, honestly,
38:13
the soundtrack hurt my head, uh,
38:16
during the recovery.
38:17
And so I was out.
38:20
And it just never went anywhere in those
38:22
first forty minutes other than they
38:24
kidnapped a woman thinking she was an
38:26
alien.
38:27
And I don't even know where that leads
38:28
to.
38:31
So there we go.
38:32
She said she liked the ending.
38:34
I couldn't even get close to the ending.
38:38
So there's that.
38:39
I also watched the show Stick with Owen
38:44
Wilson.
38:45
It's about a golf pro who has a
38:48
meltdown on a course,
38:50
discovers a kid who is really great,
38:52
wants to take him on the road.
38:54
It is on Apple TV, and I really,
38:56
really enjoyed it.
38:57
Very heartwarming show.
39:01
Very nice movie.
39:02
Again, nothing.
39:06
It's Owen Wilson playing Owen Wilson.
39:08
And it was really, really good.
39:12
Really enjoyed that.
39:13
And what I'm currently watching now is
39:15
Pluribus on Apple TV,
39:17
which is from the creators of Breaking Bad
39:20
and Better Call Saul.
39:23
And it is definitely out there.
39:27
It is a show about something has happened
39:32
on Earth where everybody shares the same
39:36
consciousness,
39:38
I guess is the best way to put
39:39
it,
39:39
except for thirteen people who could not
39:42
be affected.
39:44
And the entire world is under the same
39:46
consciousness and they just experience
39:50
pure joy.
39:52
It has, as we got into
39:58
as I got past episode two,
40:00
it keeps getting better and better and
40:01
better.
40:03
And so hopefully I'll finish that in the
40:04
next day or two.
40:06
It is really,
40:08
it is really thought provoking.
40:11
And,
40:12
and I'm really excited to see where it
40:16
goes next.
40:18
Lito says she loves the cinematography of
40:19
it.
40:21
I would say it's very much like Breaking
40:22
Bad.
40:23
There is so many camera angles and views
40:27
and the way the direction goes that remind
40:29
me of how Breaking Bad's camera work
40:31
worked.
40:32
And so it's very similar to that.
40:36
Um,
40:37
and so I can't wait to finish it.
40:39
I think I am,
40:41
I just finished episode six yesterday and
40:45
I think it's a ten episode thing,
40:47
nine or ten.
40:48
So we're getting close to the end,
40:51
but it is so far really, really good.
40:53
The first couple episodes are trying to
40:56
figure it out a little bit,
40:58
but once it like hits and you understand
41:00
kind of the concept, um, it really,
41:03
it really sings from that point forward.
41:10
Now,
41:10
a soundtrack hurting is not being a man.
41:13
Ken, I just had sinus surgery.
41:16
I had two stints up behind my eyes.
41:20
I was very sensitive to a lot of
41:21
things.
41:23
And turn on Begonia for like ten minutes
41:26
and tell me that music is not something
41:29
that would give you a headache.
41:32
It was really, really bad.
41:37
Anytime someone says Owen Wilson playing
41:39
Owen Wilson, I hear him saying, wow.
41:42
Yeah, he does that a lot.
41:46
You're dead on, Corey.
41:48
And it's really, really good.
41:50
Really, really good.
41:51
Mark Maron's in it.
41:55
It's just...
41:58
There's a couple little surprises that may
42:01
explain why he's in the situation he's in
42:04
that are very heartfelt and very...
42:09
that make you understand his plight and
42:12
where he's going.
42:13
And it's so good.
42:15
I really, really enjoyed it.
42:17
My wife did too.
42:18
We binge watched that pretty much
42:20
Saturday, maybe Sunday,
42:22
one of those two days.
42:23
Really, really good.
42:26
So just wanted to share those things that
42:29
have been on my mind over the weekend
42:31
while I was recovering.
42:32
Now I can dive back into the CrossFit
42:34
content to talk more about stuff with you.
42:38
But before I do that, don't forget,
42:40
Third Sea is our sponsor.
42:42
They're amazing people.
42:44
Just had conversations with them today.
42:47
Love Adam and the team at Thirdsy.
42:50
They are incredible.
42:51
Make sure you use code Jazzy to get
42:53
fifteen percent off your order.
42:56
If you need a good night's sleep and
42:57
you need to recover, it is the ultimate,
43:00
the ultimate tool to do that.
43:02
Gets that collagen in your system,
43:04
doesn't use melatonin.
43:06
It helps you sleep,
43:07
helps you recover and gives you everything
43:10
you need to have a better day the
43:12
next day.
43:14
with that, I wanted to talk about,
43:18
should CrossFit do an all-star game or a
43:20
pro bowl?
43:22
Maybe we'll talk about that tomorrow.
43:24
Um, but leave comments on the YouTube, uh,
43:29
about things you want to talk about or
43:30
comments you have about things we talked
43:32
about today.
43:33
And maybe we'll pick those up tomorrow
43:36
with that.
43:36
I made it
43:42
with the recovery.
43:43
Hopefully,
43:43
I don't have the adverse effects I did
43:47
last night.
43:48
But with that,
43:49
I hope you guys have a great rest
43:50
of your day.
43:50
Like and subscribe to the channel.
43:52
And we'll see you tomorrow on Lunch with
43:56
the Clydesdale.
43:58
Bye, guys.
