Lunch with the Clydesdale - The WFP May Have Something Here! · Clydesdale Media Podcast

0:32
what's going on everybody
0:33
welcome to a friday
0:35
afternoon lunch with the
0:36
clydesdale back again for
0:39
another day um yeah I
0:43
stayed up late last night
0:44
to watch my beloved chicago
0:46
bears uh the bed yet again um man
0:54
They are so bad right now.
0:57
So bad.
0:58
They lost six to three.
1:02
It's the first game without
1:03
a touchdown since like
1:05
twenty twenty by either team.
1:11
They had the ball with, I don't know,
1:13
three minutes left to go in the game.
1:16
meander down the field a
1:17
little bit gave me a little
1:19
bit of hope before getting
1:21
it ripped away when the
1:24
offensive line couldn't
1:25
block a single player from
1:27
the Seahawks and they
1:29
blitzed every down Caleb
1:31
just whipping the ball up
1:33
and on a last ditch fourth
1:35
down effort through the
1:36
ball up only to get picked
1:39
off what's amazing is
1:41
that's the first time he's
1:42
been intercepted in ten games
1:46
Um,
1:47
but I think a lot of his aggressiveness
1:49
has been coached out of him.
1:51
Um, and then having two head coaches,
1:53
two offensive coordinators
1:55
this year has been tough and, uh,
1:57
really needs someone to
1:58
come in and change all that.
2:01
What is probably the most
2:03
disappointing thing about
2:05
my Chicago bears is they
2:07
have not had a lead in a
2:10
game since before Thanksgiving.
2:14
Imagine that.
2:15
Imagine that being a competitive athlete,
2:18
not having a lead in five weeks.
2:24
You've played five, six games,
2:26
and you have not even had a lead.
2:31
What does that do to your
2:32
psyche to even go on
2:35
playing the rest of the year?
2:35
Thank goodness there's one game left.
2:38
one game left and we get to
2:39
reset we get to hire a new
2:41
coach hopefully make some
2:42
changes um get some things
2:45
put in place but man as a
2:47
competitive athlete how do
2:49
you deal with that how do
2:50
you deal with losing all
2:51
the time and never even
2:53
having a lead it's got to
2:56
be tough um just something
3:00
I've been thinking about
3:00
today like it's just been um
3:05
been a rough season and
3:06
hopefully uh they they can
3:08
turn it around uh somehow so uh but yeah
3:13
Bears have now lost ten in a row.
3:15
They have not held a lead at
3:17
any game since before Thanksgiving.
3:20
And we have one game left
3:21
against our tribal Green
3:23
Bay Packers next weekend.
3:26
And hopefully we get through
3:30
that game and it is
3:32
offseason and time to move
3:34
on to other games.
3:36
new and different things uh
3:38
for half a year before we
3:39
head back into the football
3:40
season but um but yeah
3:44
that's where we're at so
3:48
notice me drinking my
3:49
coffee out of my new Clydesdale mug
3:54
You can win one of these
3:55
Sunday night on Sunday
3:56
Night CrossFit Talk.
3:59
We put it out there last
4:00
week to come up with a one
4:03
hour to ninety minute
4:04
workout or series of workouts,
4:08
waterfall style that could
4:10
travel from town to town as
4:12
a community event to bring
4:14
the community together to
4:15
do the same event.
4:20
kind of like high rocks but
4:22
crossfit style um in a way
4:25
that brings the community
4:26
together in one location to
4:28
all do the same workout to
4:30
compete and then to maybe
4:32
even retest it throughout
4:34
the year if you submit that
4:37
to us on any of our youtube
4:39
videos from this week um
4:41
you will be eligible then
4:43
to win either this coffee cup
4:47
Or it's the same color, same design,
4:52
but it's a water bottle.
4:53
It's taller,
4:54
has a straw for you to drink
4:58
your water out of at the
4:59
gym or pre-workout or whatever you have.
5:02
But we'll have both of those
5:03
options you get to pick if
5:05
you submit those and we
5:06
like your workouts.
5:08
So far, I have one submission.
5:12
It's a pretty good one.
5:14
So if you want to... There's only one.
5:17
You can get yours in and
5:19
compete against that person
5:21
and maybe get yours picked
5:22
and win one of these
5:24
awesome Clydesdale Media
5:26
cups or water bottles.
5:29
So... With that... And don't
5:35
forget to tune in on Sunday night.
5:37
It's always a great show.
5:38
We're going to talk about a
5:39
lot of the stuff we...
5:41
Kind of did an appetizer on
5:43
throughout this week.
5:45
And we'll get into more detail,
5:46
especially WFP for sure,
5:49
on Sunday night with Carolyn and Jamie.
5:54
So I wanted to talk about WFP.
5:56
We talked about it on the
5:57
round table a little bit
5:58
yesterday after the Talking
6:00
Elite Fitness interview was done,
6:02
then Coffee Pods and Wads
6:04
interview with Jackson
6:05
Terry and Will Morad as well.
6:08
And I need to correct one
6:09
thing that I said yesterday.
6:12
I said yesterday that all of
6:13
the events would be in
6:14
North America for the first
6:16
season of the WFP.
6:18
That was incorrect.
6:19
It is two in North America, one in Europe,
6:23
kind of how I originally
6:24
thought it to be.
6:28
And I was surprised that
6:30
Will said that on the
6:31
Talking Elite fitness thing,
6:32
but it kind of faded out a
6:34
little bit as he said that.
6:36
So I must have misheard a piece of it.
6:39
And it is two events, North America,
6:42
one event in Europe.
6:43
The two tour events will be one in Europe,
6:46
one in North America,
6:47
and the finals will be here in America.
6:49
We don't have dates and
6:50
times for that yet.
6:54
And even James Sprague said
6:56
this morning on the Savant
6:57
podcast that he has yet to
6:58
sign his offer because he
7:02
doesn't know the dates and
7:04
locations yet to be able to
7:06
make that determination.
7:08
So hopefully that comes out soon.
7:12
a couple other details that
7:14
I learned on the coffee
7:16
pods and wads podcast, uh,
7:20
where that you can earn
7:21
points in the pro division
7:23
and you can earn points in
7:24
the challenger challenger division,
7:27
but the last place person
7:28
in the pro division will
7:29
earn more points than the
7:30
first place person in the
7:31
challenger division.
7:33
So if you're one of the
7:34
twenty athletes that have a
7:36
contract or one of the ten
7:38
from the qualifier that
7:39
make it in to compete in the pro division,
7:41
you are guaranteed more
7:43
points than any of the
7:44
points earned in the challenger division.
7:50
Will is very adamant about
7:52
not leaking workouts.
7:53
He thinks that that is
7:54
crucial and integral to
7:56
keep the sport professional.
8:00
Uh,
8:01
he said that all forty spots have been
8:03
offered to athletes and
8:06
nobody has said no at this point.
8:10
So of the forty they have offered,
8:14
everybody has either said
8:15
yes or is just waiting to
8:17
sign with more detail,
8:18
but nobody has said no.
8:22
And we actually have two
8:24
more signings since we talked yesterday.
8:30
And I will pull that up now.
8:33
So since we talked yesterday,
8:34
Justin Medeiros signed with
8:37
WFP and Emma Tall,
8:39
who said she probably would
8:41
not compete in the CrossFit Games season,
8:43
has signed with the WFP as well.
8:46
So we have Emma Tall and we
8:49
have Justin Medeiros
8:50
joining Victor Hoffer, Roman Krennikoff,
8:53
Emma McQuaid, Travis Mayer, Alexis Raptus,
8:57
Yela Hosta,
8:59
Patrick Vellner, Brooke Wells, Alex Kazan,
9:01
and Chandler Smith.
9:04
Those are all the athletes
9:05
that have been announced at this point.
9:08
Um,
9:08
they did say in both podcasts that they
9:11
would be releasing this
9:12
information over the course
9:14
of the month of January,
9:16
as well as the dates and
9:17
locations of all the events.
9:20
So we'll be looking forward to that.
9:23
Uh, Peter asked a question about, uh,
9:30
Lex says,
9:31
right now it sounds like the Fyre
9:32
Festival until something happens.
9:35
I disagree.
9:37
I'm confident in what they're doing.
9:39
I think they have answers
9:41
for a lot of the questions.
9:44
And it sounds to me, in my opinion,
9:47
I feel like they are
9:48
addressing things that we
9:50
have been complaining about for years.
9:53
So I'm really anxious to see it play out.
9:58
They've put together a board
10:00
that is running this.
10:03
They want to have a better
10:04
connection with the community.
10:07
And when your athletes,
10:08
a good chunk of your
10:09
athletes under contract,
10:10
you can almost demand that
10:13
of your athletes if it's
10:14
written in the contract.
10:18
So I'm really,
10:21
really excited about what's
10:23
coming with this.
10:25
Um,
10:25
and I'm hoping it pushes us to a higher
10:28
level of, uh, CrossFit competition.
10:35
Um,
10:37
They also said that if you
10:39
sign a contract and you are
10:41
to compete in all three events this year,
10:44
and if for some reason you get an injury,
10:47
you will get a percentage
10:49
of that contract based on
10:51
the events that you
10:54
completed during the year.
10:56
So if you do the first two
10:58
tour events and then you
11:01
break an ankle and you
11:03
can't compete in the finals,
11:04
you will get sixty six
11:06
percent of your contract.
11:14
so jody asked so you compete
11:16
in it if you're signed and
11:17
no qualifiers if you are
11:19
one of the men or women who
11:22
are signed there are no
11:23
qualifiers you get to go to
11:26
all the tour events and the finals
11:30
If you are not in that twenty,
11:31
you have to do a qualifier
11:34
to get in and they take the
11:35
top ten in each qualifier
11:37
to then compete against the
11:39
twenty that are already there.
11:41
Then they take eleven
11:42
through thirty and make a
11:43
challengers division where
11:45
they will compete against
11:47
each other in that twenty
11:48
to earn some points.
11:51
so that they can try to
11:52
qualify for the next event
11:54
and earn more points to get
11:56
into the finals,
11:57
which is the top thirty
11:59
point earners for the year.
12:04
Actually,
12:04
it's just the top ten earners and
12:07
not necessarily and then
12:09
the twenty athletes that
12:10
are signed to a contract.
12:14
And then next year,
12:15
the twenty will be based on
12:16
the overall points earned
12:18
in the twenty twenty five
12:20
season to earn the contract
12:22
for twenty twenty six.
12:29
The other thing they will
12:32
have jerseys and kits.
12:36
Just like Dubai,
12:38
Rogue and the games for all
12:41
the athletes that are competing.
12:43
And the qualifiers are going
12:44
to be held approximately
12:48
six weeks before each event.
12:52
And I believe they even
12:53
talked about it being three
12:54
events in the qualifier,
12:57
six events in the tour event,
12:59
nine events in the final.
13:03
They're trying not to beat
13:04
everybody up and allow them
13:07
to participate in other qualifiers.
13:11
and other competitions that
13:13
have been a part of the
13:14
season for a long time, like Rogue,
13:16
Wadapalooza, and the game season itself.
13:21
So... And they did reiterate
13:23
yesterday that it was not
13:26
to compete against the CrossFit Games.
13:28
It was to just have another
13:31
option for athletes in addition to.
13:36
So...
13:37
And I think in one, one of them,
13:39
they actually talked about
13:40
in the expansion,
13:41
the goal was to have like
13:43
six events and then each
13:46
athlete could pick three.
13:48
Well, you could do them all if you want to,
13:51
but you take your highest
13:52
three scores from those tour events.
13:55
So then you weren't required
13:57
to do all six.
13:58
You could pick and choose,
13:59
or you could choose to do
14:00
all six and then take your
14:02
highest three scores from
14:04
uh based on uh finishes in
14:06
those events I will also
14:10
said that he is doing the
14:11
programming for all this he
14:13
is testing them himself and
14:15
at this point he's still
14:16
fit enough to be able to do
14:17
that I threw a question in
14:21
the comments about what
14:22
about women because that
14:24
has been something that has fallen short
14:27
uh in a lot of the
14:28
competitions lately where
14:31
um the men finish events
14:33
but the women get capped uh
14:35
is that what we're really
14:36
looking for um and do we
14:38
have enough female testers
14:39
to do things to make sure
14:41
that we have the right caps
14:42
right weights um right rep
14:45
schemes um for different
14:46
things and that went
14:48
unanswered um so hopefully
14:50
I can get get something too
14:52
well to find out an answer for that
14:56
but I do understand he's
14:57
trying to keep it small so
14:59
that nothing is leaked.
15:01
Um,
15:02
he really thinks that the leaked
15:04
workouts is bad, uh,
15:06
for the sport as a
15:07
professional entity and is
15:10
trying to keep everything
15:10
close to the vest so that
15:12
it is not leaked.
15:14
Um,
15:17
so yeah and I agree with
15:19
that um carolyn has pounded
15:21
that home so many times on
15:22
our sunday night show that
15:24
the the people who know and
15:26
the people don't know it's
15:27
very unfair and she's seen
15:29
it with her own eye several
15:30
times at the games where
15:32
people knew the workouts
15:33
ahead of time and others
15:34
did not um we really need
15:37
to make sure that we uh
15:40
kind of keep those things
15:41
from happening as it uh
15:45
If you don't have a fair playing field,
15:48
you don't have a sport.
15:50
People need to believe that
15:54
everybody has a chance at
15:55
the beginning of an event
15:58
for it to be equal.
16:00
Just like it's crucial in
16:03
football or baseball or
16:04
tennis that everything is fair.
16:07
And that's why you have
16:07
people up in arms when you
16:08
see referees or judges or
16:11
have an influence in the
16:13
outcome of a game.
16:16
because then it puts into
16:17
question the validity of
16:18
that sport or that game.
16:20
And I think that Will is
16:22
trying really hard to
16:25
eliminate some of that stuff.
16:32
Corey asked the question,
16:34
how much of an unknown is
16:35
Will's programming going to be?
16:37
Has he ever programmed a comp?
16:40
I really, I do not know.
16:42
I know he has coached,
16:44
he has owned an affiliate,
16:46
so he's done programming in that way.
16:49
I don't know if he's ever done a comp.
16:52
But that is a great question
16:53
that I don't think anybody
16:54
has asked if he has any
16:56
experience doing high-level competitions.
17:01
So that's actually a great question.
17:07
Um,
17:08
one of the other things I wanted to
17:09
share today is if you
17:11
didn't see this week, uh,
17:12
a lot of the rogue athletes
17:14
were getting their gift
17:15
from rogue and they got
17:16
this cool little trinket, um,
17:20
which this is from Jeff Adler's post.
17:23
Uh, they've,
17:24
they got a leather case that
17:26
inside it was a fabricated wood and metal,
17:30
uh, box.
17:33
And inside that box was, uh,
17:38
were fabricated uh etched
17:40
out dominoes with the rogue
17:42
logo on it um I don't play
17:46
a lot of dominoes but I
17:47
thought it was a really cool gift um
17:50
they really seem to go above
17:52
and beyond when they're
17:53
doing things for the athletes.
17:55
And I thought this was a
17:57
really cool gift that they gave.
17:59
And a lot of the athletes
18:00
have been unveiling their set this week.
18:03
And this just,
18:04
I just grabbed Jeff's cause
18:05
I knew he had this still of the,
18:07
the dominoes themselves.
18:09
But I think that that's,
18:11
that's a pretty cool gift.
18:12
And I wouldn't mind having a
18:18
set of those myself.
18:21
So, um,
18:26
Corey back on the Wilmore ad
18:27
programming thing.
18:28
This could be a point of contention,
18:29
I think,
18:30
or it could be awesome as it's
18:31
truly unknown and unknowable.
18:34
Um, I have to think with as much as,
18:40
as well has been around the
18:41
sport and for as long as he's been there.
18:44
Um, I believe that he, I'm,
18:51
give him the benefit of the
18:52
doubt until he proves me
18:53
wrong how about that um but
18:56
it it's true it we we know
18:59
what ba's tendencies are in
19:01
programming we know what
19:02
dave's tendencies are in
19:04
programming nobody knows
19:05
what will's tendencies are
19:07
in programming and what
19:09
that's going to mean for
19:10
the competition so it truly
19:12
is an unknown and
19:13
unknowable now he did say
19:15
that they were going to
19:16
release the events
19:19
enough time for the judges
19:21
the broadcast and the
19:23
athletes to know what was
19:24
coming and so they could
19:26
explain what's going on
19:28
which I think is a good
19:29
thing as well and I don't
19:31
know what that window is of
19:33
an appropriate time to
19:34
release that information
19:38
but I think that that is I
19:43
like these answers to the questions
19:51
And Corey said, Oh,
19:51
I'm also giving him a
19:52
benefit of that benefit of the doubt.
19:54
I guess what I'm getting at
19:55
is this could be an
19:56
exciting point for WFP.
19:58
I think the whole concept is
20:00
exciting right now.
20:01
Um, if you've ever followed golf,
20:03
it is very similar to the
20:04
structure of golf in a very boutique way.
20:09
Like golf has so many events
20:10
throughout the year.
20:12
This is going to be just two
20:14
events and a final.
20:16
Um,
20:17
I love the point structure.
20:19
I just don't know if there's
20:20
enough events to make that
20:21
part of it exciting yet.
20:24
Hopefully it will be.
20:25
Hopefully there is some
20:27
people like jockeying for that,
20:29
those contracts.
20:30
I think it's going to add
20:31
excitement to the challengers coming in,
20:34
trying to take the spots
20:35
away from the people who have them.
20:38
And the people fighting to keep them.
20:41
And then you also have the
20:43
winner's excitement as well.
20:44
Like who's going to win it?
20:45
Who's going to win this event?
20:47
Who's going to win this event?
20:48
And then who's going to win
20:49
the overall points total?
20:52
I think there's so many
20:53
different pieces of drama
20:55
to this because of the way
20:56
it's structured.
20:57
It's going to add excitement to the fans.
21:01
And one of the things that I
21:02
wanted to speak out about
21:04
is there's a lot of people going,
21:05
where's the money coming from?
21:07
Well, first,
21:08
we've heard they have enough
21:09
money and for the
21:10
foreseeable future with investors.
21:12
But what I like is the
21:13
outreach to the community,
21:15
which means outreach to spectators.
21:17
And they're trying to put on
21:18
a show and do things to
21:20
attract people to come
21:22
using different avenues for
21:25
revenue than what is being
21:27
done currently with CrossFit.
21:29
With CrossFit,
21:30
what they're doing is
21:31
they're putting the revenue
21:33
stream on the backs of the
21:34
athletes by forcing them to
21:36
pay an admission fee to play.
21:39
And then getting spectators
21:43
in seems to be a second thought.
21:48
Unless you're doing the games,
21:49
which sells out in like a week,
21:52
and every year they fill
21:53
the place to capacity.
21:57
Every other entity is
22:00
charging more and more to
22:01
the athlete to come play.
22:03
And so I'm anxious to see,
22:05
can we market something to
22:08
a spectator base to come watch in person?
22:13
And then what are you doing
22:15
with activations, with merchandise,
22:18
with things like that at
22:20
your events to add to the revenue stream?
22:23
And you're bringing on a
22:24
business owner as your
22:26
director of business operations
22:30
who has been in the space,
22:31
who has worked the vendor village,
22:35
who has done all those things, how,
22:37
and I'm interested to see
22:38
his take on how can they
22:39
change those things to
22:42
better accommodate vendors
22:44
and sponsors and things
22:46
like that to bring in revenue.
22:49
Just because it isn't the
22:50
way we've been doing it
22:52
doesn't mean that it's
22:53
going to be wrong or that
22:54
they don't have a plan.
22:58
So I'm anxious to see how all that goes.
23:02
I am truly excited for the WFP,
23:05
and I love that it's not
23:06
competing with the game season.
23:08
I love that you can do both,
23:10
that we can cover both,
23:12
that both have their own
23:13
drama and their own things,
23:15
and we can do that.
23:17
And it's not so drastically
23:19
different like Grid League
23:22
that I think that it will
23:24
speak to more spectators.
23:28
And we've got to get a
23:29
better connection between
23:30
the athletes in the
23:31
community that is going
23:33
away slowly but surely.
23:37
And that somebody needs to
23:39
work to bring that back.
23:42
And it sounds like the WFP
23:43
is willing to get their hands dirty,
23:45
get down in the dirt and
23:47
and work to bring the
23:48
community back together.
23:51
Jody on the Rogue Gifts is asking,
23:53
are the gift recipients
23:54
contractually signed as
23:55
athletes with Rogue?
23:56
I do believe so.
23:58
They are the Rogue athletes
24:02
that are part of their team.
24:06
And I think that's who they
24:08
send the Christmas gifts to.
24:14
Corey says, people need to show up.
24:15
If there's an event within a
24:16
few hours of me, I'm going.
24:18
I agree.
24:20
If they're in the U S I'm
24:21
going to try to be there.
24:27
Simple, but I'm going to do that for,
24:28
for CrossFit season as well.
24:30
Like I'm going to try to be
24:31
in Knoxville and Cookville
24:33
and maybe even Oklahoma city.
24:35
I'm going to try to be at all those.
24:37
So I'm going to try to be at
24:40
everything I can to support
24:42
the sport itself.
24:45
Cause I love it and I don't
24:46
want it to go away.
24:52
so keep the questions coming
24:54
uh I'll keep answering what
24:56
I know and uh what I think
24:57
and what I feel and you can
24:59
take that or leave that uh
25:01
but I did want to finish up
25:02
with um I've talked a lot
25:04
about my favorite show of
25:06
the year which is shrinking
25:08
and I just wanted to
25:08
explain to people why I
25:10
think it's a must watch for
25:11
everybody and I know this
25:13
isn't crossfit but that's
25:14
what these shows are about
25:15
we're just here to shoot the so
25:18
with shrinking what I love
25:20
about it is oftentimes we
25:22
get lazy writing in tv and
25:25
this show is so not lazy
25:27
writing um if you don't
25:29
know the premise of the
25:30
show there the main
25:32
character is played by
25:33
jason siegel he is a
25:34
therapist he is part of a
25:37
practice with harrison ford
25:38
and another woman and they
25:40
own and they own this therapy partnership
25:46
When you come into season one,
25:48
there's been a tragedy in
25:49
which the wife of Jason
25:52
Segel has been killed by a drunk driver.
25:55
And the initial first season
25:57
is all about him off the
26:00
rails trying to get back on
26:03
the rails with the help of his friends.
26:09
And the first season is
26:10
really good about him
26:11
getting back on the rails.
26:13
And again, it sounds very dramatic.
26:15
It is a comedy, I will say that.
26:17
They do a lot to add levity
26:21
to the situations in a very serious,
26:23
serious situation.
26:25
But where I say the writing
26:27
is not lazy is when you open season two,
26:31
they introduce you to the villain.
26:34
So you get through season
26:35
one where it's all about
26:37
Jason Segel getting over his grief.
26:40
And then season two opens up
26:42
where they introduce you to
26:44
the drunk driver who killed his wife.
26:47
And in some ways,
26:52
he becomes a fiber in the
26:55
storyline in which the
26:57
characters you've already
26:58
met have to interact with him.
27:04
And I've had this talk with
27:05
my family about like,
27:07
how could you face the man
27:11
that killed your wife?
27:13
Or the daughter is a major
27:16
character who killed your mother.
27:18
And how could you forgive him?
27:22
And, um,
27:25
and they go through like these steps,
27:27
like for the, for them to get past it,
27:30
Jason Siegel and his daughter, um,
27:32
that they have to end up
27:33
forgiving this man so that
27:35
they can move on with their lives.
27:37
But at the same time,
27:38
the writers take you in how
27:41
the drunk driver has been
27:42
affected in his life by his
27:45
actions and how it has
27:47
affected him and where he's at.
27:51
And it is must-see TV.
27:56
the way it ends I audibly
27:58
gasped so loud like I
28:00
probably scared my wife uh
28:02
the way they ended season
28:03
two and I'm not gonna give
28:05
any spoilers away or
28:06
anything like that because
28:08
it the season finale just
28:10
aired two nights ago three
28:11
nights ago something like that um
28:15
so it is so good and it is
28:19
some of the same writers
28:19
from ted lasso which is
28:21
another one of my favorite
28:22
shows of all time um and
28:25
actually the villain in
28:27
this show played roy kent
28:30
in ted lasso and he was a
28:32
writer in ted lasso and
28:34
he's a writer on this show as well
28:37
Um, and Jason Siegel is a writer.
28:39
So I find it fascinating
28:41
that two of the writers are
28:42
the hero and the villain of the story, um,
28:46
writing this out and they
28:49
do such a good job and then
28:50
they have to go act it, uh, which is,
28:53
which is insane.
28:55
Um,
28:57
And so I just implore you
28:59
all to give this a shot.
29:02
Jay Burch has sent me some
29:03
suggestions because I'm out
29:04
of shows right now.
29:06
He said I should start with
29:07
Sons of Anarchy.
29:10
I've heard Industry is a good show.
29:13
I'm looking for suggestions
29:15
on something to watch now
29:17
as I finished up almost all
29:19
the Taylor Sheridan stuff
29:21
and some of the Apple TV stuff.
29:23
I've heard Silo is good.
29:24
I've not watched that.
29:27
But yeah, looking for some suggestions.
29:29
So throw those in the chat
29:31
or the comment section or
29:33
shoot me a DM on Instagram.
29:38
And I'll look for some stuff
29:40
to kind of try.
29:42
So Jody Lynn says that she
29:45
watched the first few episodes.
29:46
Not too bad.
29:48
Give it a couple more and I
29:48
think you'll really kind of
29:50
fall in love with it.
29:51
And then she says afterlife.
29:54
So I don't even know what
29:55
that one is or where it airs,
29:57
but I will go check it out for sure.
30:02
I'll check that one out.
30:06
Yeah.
30:10
Next week,
30:11
I'm going to do a couple
30:13
year-end pieces just as we
30:16
kind of get to the end of the year.
30:17
Next Wednesday is my birthday,
30:20
so I'll probably come on
30:20
for that just to say hi to
30:22
everybody on my birthday.
30:25
Monday and Tuesday,
30:26
I'll probably do some year-end,
30:27
like look back at our shows
30:31
and some of the things we talked about,
30:32
some of the people we talked to,
30:34
what were some of my
30:35
favorite moments of the year,
30:38
things of that nature.
30:40
And if you have any comments
30:42
about what any of your
30:43
favorite things were this
30:44
year that we did,
30:45
I would love to hear those
30:46
in the comments and kind of
30:50
read those out loud and
30:51
talk about those as well.
30:53
Yeah, I have heard of that.
30:56
I have heard of that.
30:57
It stars Ricky Gervais.
31:00
I have heard of Afterlife.
31:01
Yeah.
31:01
Now that you say that, it's clicked in.
31:04
so I'll go check that out uh
31:07
so yeah year end next week
31:08
a little reflection about
31:10
some of the shows we've
31:11
done some of the people
31:11
we've interviewed uh some
31:13
of the moments on the show
31:14
that we really enjoyed um
31:16
that's gonna be next week
31:19
uh as well as anything that
31:20
pops off news wise we'll
31:21
talk about that in addition
31:24
um yeah and then I I've
31:28
been debating this uh
31:30
I've kind of kept this close
31:31
to my own vest, is around Thanksgiving,
31:37
I went back into AFib.
31:39
And if anybody's been following my story,
31:42
in February I was in the hospital.
31:43
I had AFib.
31:45
It was pretty bad.
31:47
I got my heart shocked back into rhythm.
31:50
And then everything was good.
31:52
Throughout the year,
31:53
I've lost sixty pounds.
31:56
I've got my blood sugar
31:58
now to non-diabetic levels
32:01
I've done a lot of things
32:02
to get healthy again and I
32:04
was cleaning up after
32:05
everybody left from
32:06
thanksgiving and I felt a
32:09
flutter in my chest and
32:11
sure enough I'm back in
32:13
afib it is nowhere near as
32:16
bad as it was back in
32:17
february but I went to the
32:20
cardiologist and they said
32:22
that I am going to this is
32:23
something that I'm just
32:24
going to have to deal with
32:25
the rest of my life
32:26
There are people that just do.
32:28
And I'm taking all the
32:30
necessary steps to get to a
32:32
place where I can manage it better.
32:35
But on January third, which is next Friday,
32:38
a week from today,
32:40
I'm going in to get my
32:41
heart shocked back into rhythm again.
32:44
And then immediately after that,
32:46
they're putting me on a new
32:48
medication that is designed
32:51
to keep my heart in rhythm.
32:53
And we're going to try that out.
32:57
We're going to try that out
32:58
for a little bit and see how it works.
33:00
If it works, great.
33:01
If not,
33:02
then we have to look at an ablation,
33:07
which is going into the heart,
33:10
scarring the sensors up a
33:11
little bit so that maybe it will...
33:16
Um, so maybe that will work too,
33:18
but there is no like, like, it's a,
33:20
it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a,
33:22
it's a, it's a,
33:31
The harp shrunk back into rhythm.
33:33
Get back into a groove again.
33:37
Then Monday,
33:37
I take my wife in to get her knee surgery,
33:41
total replacement.
33:42
So both of us, Friday and Monday,
33:46
will be going through our procedures.
33:48
So I probably won't be doing
33:50
shows those days.
33:52
um hopefully I'll be back on
33:53
sunday night for that show
33:54
I should be fine um because
33:56
I'm really like not even
33:57
limited much right now with
33:59
this form of afib compared
34:01
to february um it's just if
34:03
it flutters I have to stop
34:05
what I'm doing and just let
34:07
it go and get my breath
34:09
back and then I can move on
34:10
with what I'm doing I have
34:12
you know lifted boxes for
34:14
decorating the house um
34:16
help my daughter load cars,
34:18
all that kind of stuff.
34:19
I could not do that back in February.
34:21
I'm doing it fine today.
34:23
Um, so yeah, this is,
34:25
this is hopefully like a quick fix,
34:28
get back on into the groove
34:30
and then help support my wife, uh,
34:32
the beginning of the week following.
34:34
So, um,
34:38
cat is asking if we need her to
34:40
come out and play nurse.
34:42
Um,
34:43
I think we'll be fine, but Hey,
34:45
we always welcome visitors.
34:48
Um, so yeah,
34:51
the craziest part of this whole story is,
34:54
um,
34:55
my mom went into a fib right after I did.
34:58
Um, and she's actually,
34:59
she had a stress test today.
35:01
Didn't even get through the
35:02
stress test is in the emergency room.
35:04
So as soon as I get off the air here,
35:06
I need to go find out and
35:07
get an update as to how she's doing.
35:10
Um,
35:13
So maybe it's a family thing.
35:16
This is her second time with AFib.
35:18
This is my second time with AFib.
35:19
So yeah.
35:24
Hopefully we get to the new
35:25
year and it's new year, new me.
35:27
And for my wife, new year, new me.
35:31
And we can get everything
35:32
kind of rolling in the right direction.
35:34
Uh, but yeah,
35:36
so that's all happening in
35:37
the next week or so.
35:39
Uh, but it's,
35:41
I'm loving these lunch shows
35:43
and so glad that you guys could jump in,
35:44
uh, and hang out and ask questions.
35:47
Um,
35:48
love just hanging out with you guys
35:49
every day.
35:49
Now, uh, Corey says nurse cat, cowboy cat.
35:52
How many, not how many hats,
35:55
how many cats do we have?
35:57
You have bang cat,
35:59
which is cat with the bangs.
36:01
Then she clips those off.
36:03
And then we have like cat
36:05
under a hat until the hair
36:07
grows back out.
36:09
So, yeah, we have all that stuff.
36:18
Jody says,
36:18
is that why you're into body
36:19
weight workouts?
36:20
Yeah.
36:22
so I'm into body weight
36:23
workouts because one it's
36:26
cold in my garage and I
36:28
can't lift in my house.
36:30
Um,
36:31
so I've been doing banded workouts and
36:34
body weight workouts in my
36:35
basement where I have some heat.
36:38
Um,
36:39
but I want to keep moving through all
36:40
this stuff.
36:41
So, uh, so that's really the reason.
36:46
Um,
36:48
So yeah, that,
36:49
that's really the reason as
36:50
soon as it warms up, um,
36:52
I'm going to go back out
36:53
and hit the barbell a little bit more,
36:55
but I'm really listening to
36:57
my body these days.
36:58
Um,
36:59
and doing what it says I can do in a day.
37:02
And if it's just body weight,
37:03
then that's what we're doing.
37:05
If it,
37:05
if it feels frisky and we want to do
37:07
some lifting, we do some lifting.
37:09
Um,
37:10
I really just listen to my body these
37:14
days and it's actually helped me a lot.
37:17
Um,
37:18
It's helped me progress in my weight loss.
37:20
It's helped me progress in
37:21
my fitness because I'm not
37:24
nursing injuries all the time.
37:26
I'm really just listening to
37:27
the body and trying not to overdo it.
37:33
Lana says, we love hearing from Lana.
37:36
Oh, Scott, that's a lot.
37:37
Hope for good things for
37:38
both you and your mom.
37:40
And my wife too,
37:41
we got the knee surgery coming for her.
37:43
Uh,
37:44
so all of us are on going to be on the
37:45
mend.
37:47
Um, and Corey says not lift,
37:49
can't lift in your house.
37:50
Not with that attitude.
37:52
Well, I guess, I mean,
37:53
I could deadlift probably.
37:56
Um, but any,
37:57
I could not do anything overhead.
37:59
I would hit the ceiling.
38:00
Uh, for sure.
38:01
It'd be like, uh,
38:02
the Matt Frazier lifting in
38:04
his parents' basement kind of thing.
38:06
I'd have to do like the quick dump.
38:09
Um,
38:11
or catch the snatch in the
38:13
squat and then dump it
38:14
because I couldn't stand it up.
38:20
Uh, remember I'm,
38:20
I'm a little bit taller
38:21
than you are Corey too.
38:23
So, so yeah.
38:28
But looking forward to
38:29
getting back out there.
38:31
Hopefully it warms up.
38:32
I do have some heaters that
38:33
if I really got frisky,
38:35
some propane heaters that I
38:36
could turn on and let run
38:38
for about twenty minutes
38:39
and then head out and do some stuff,
38:41
which I've done in the past
38:43
and I could do that again.
38:45
So and Corey says everyone
38:49
is a little taller than I am.
38:50
Scott, that's true.
38:52
That is true.
38:56
But with that, it's been fun as always,
38:58
guys,
38:59
hanging out with you today at lunch.
39:02
Hope you guys enjoy your weekend.
39:06
With that, see you guys all on Monday.
39:12
Yeah, Monday.
39:13
Well, Sunday.
39:13
Come Sunday night, CrossFit Talk.
39:15
Jamie, Carol,
39:16
and I will hit all this WFP stuff.
39:19
We'll talk about other
39:20
things going on in the game season.
39:23
I've seen MFCs putting some
39:25
stuff out there, so we'll dive into that.
39:28
We'll look around at the
39:31
landscape that's going on,
39:32
dive into all of that in a
39:33
much more deeper detail.
39:35
And then I'll be back Monday
39:37
for lunch with the Clydesdale.
39:39
So with that, guys, you guys are awesome.
39:42
Have a great weekend and
39:43
we'll see you Sunday, Sunday,
39:45
Sunday night.
39:47
Bye.
