Lunch with the Clydesdale - A Fib is Gone Again · Clydesdale Media Podcast

• 0:31
  what's going on everybody
• 0:33
  welcome to lunch with the
• 0:35
  clydesdale uh I wasn't
• 0:38
  planning on doing a show
• 0:40
  today um because I had my
• 0:43
  procedure this morning um
• 0:45
  and didn't know how it
• 0:47
  would feel afterwards or um
• 0:49
  how it go or when I would get home
• 0:53
  um but things worked out
• 0:54
  where I was able to jump on
• 0:57
  give you guys a little
• 0:57
  update as to how it went um
• 1:00
  but here we are so uh yeah
• 1:03
  I got up this morning about
• 1:04
  six a.m to about an inch of
• 1:06
  snow here in ohio um had to
• 1:09
  clear off the car do all
• 1:11
  that stuff to get ready to
• 1:13
  head downtown um to have
• 1:16
  the procedure done at
• 1:18
  grant hospital in columbus
• 1:20
  um we live about ten miles
• 1:22
  north maybe twelve miles
• 1:24
  north of downtown uh
• 1:27
  columbus so I had to clear
• 1:31
  off the car get all that
• 1:32
  stuff ready and then drive
• 1:33
  through morning rush hour
• 1:35
  traffic which wasn't too
• 1:37
  bad uh considering it was
• 1:38
  just a holiday a couple
• 1:39
  days ago so a lot of people
• 1:41
  are still off uh but made
• 1:43
  it down there got all checked in and uh
• 1:50
  Yeah, and went in,
• 1:54
  went through all the pre-op process,
• 1:57
  got wheeled in,
• 1:59
  and then before they could
• 2:00
  shock my heart back into rhythm,
• 2:02
  they had to check with a
• 2:04
  scope my heart and my lungs
• 2:07
  to make sure there were no
• 2:09
  blood clots in either one
• 2:12
  of those organs before they shocked me.
• 2:15
  And so they make you gargle
• 2:18
  with this stuff that's like
• 2:20
  Smucker's jelly,
• 2:21
  but like a cotton ball flavor.
• 2:24
  How you can gargle a jelly like that.
• 2:29
  I mean,
• 2:29
  I'm trying to move it around my
• 2:31
  mouth and doing all this stuff.
• 2:33
  And then after like,
• 2:37
  fifteen or twenty seconds,
• 2:38
  you swallow it and it numbs
• 2:40
  like everything in your
• 2:41
  mouth and down your throat.
• 2:43
  so then they put the scope down.
• 2:45
  They put me under at that
• 2:46
  point after I did the gel.
• 2:49
  And then they put the scope down,
• 2:51
  check my heart, check my lungs.
• 2:53
  And if everything's okay, then they shock,
• 2:55
  they shock me.
• 2:57
  Um, everything looked good in the heart.
• 2:58
  And I actually,
• 2:59
  the heart looked better
• 3:00
  than it did last February when I had, um,
• 3:05
  when I had this done before
• 3:07
  and then um there was some
• 3:09
  leakage around one of the
• 3:10
  valves um and the
• 3:13
  cardiologist did not detect
• 3:14
  any of that this time which
• 3:16
  was really cool and then um
• 3:20
  And then they had to shock
• 3:23
  me twice before my heart
• 3:25
  went back into sinus rhythm,
• 3:27
  which is what happened last year.
• 3:29
  They used a lower voltage
• 3:31
  and then had to up the voltage,
• 3:33
  hit it again,
• 3:35
  and then I went back into sinus rhythm.
• 3:37
  that's where I am right now
• 3:39
  and um and now I'm starting
• 3:42
  a new medication which is a
• 3:45
  um an arrhythmia medicine
• 3:46
  that is supposed to um help
• 3:49
  me keep my heart in sinus
• 3:52
  rhythm uh going forward now
• 3:54
  it is it's about forty
• 3:56
  percent successful there is
• 3:57
  no cure for afib and then
• 4:00
  if that doesn't work then
• 4:01
  the next step is to do an
• 4:02
  ablation of the heart um
• 4:04
  and that is about seventy
• 4:05
  percent successful
• 4:07
  And then after that,
• 4:08
  it's like the pacemaker route,
• 4:10
  things like that.
• 4:11
  So we're hoping that the medicine works.
• 4:13
  It's a four out of ten.
• 4:16
  It works.
• 4:18
  Hopefully, I'm one of those four.
• 4:20
  That's what we're looking for.
• 4:22
  Had that all done this morning,
• 4:24
  got home about eleven thirty a.m.
• 4:27
  Eastern time.
• 4:28
  And then forty five minutes later, I said,
• 4:30
  hey, let me go to chat with my friends,
• 4:32
  Ken and Jeff and and Corey
• 4:35
  and see what they're up to.
• 4:38
  And let them know how everything went.
• 4:39
  So, again,
• 4:41
  wasn't planning on do doing that.
• 4:44
  a show today, but here we are.
• 4:47
  Um,
• 4:47
  and I can already feel a difference in
• 4:52
  the way my body is working.
• 4:54
  Um,
• 4:55
  the thing with AFib is you can feel the
• 4:57
  flutters at times and like
• 4:59
  all that's gone.
• 5:01
  Um,
• 5:01
  the only side effect right now is a
• 5:03
  sore throat from the scope and, um,
• 5:06
  a burn mark on my chest and
• 5:07
  back from the pads, uh,
• 5:10
  that they use to shock me.
• 5:12
  So I'm going to put some aloe on that.
• 5:15
  Hopefully that heals in the
• 5:16
  next twenty four hours and
• 5:19
  then we'll be moving on from that.
• 5:20
  So.
• 5:25
  Ken, using leftover Christmas ham bone,
• 5:28
  making split pea and ham
• 5:29
  soup for lunch today on
• 5:31
  this nine degree Minnesota day.
• 5:33
  Yeah,
• 5:33
  it's about twenty seven here in Columbus,
• 5:36
  but we have about an inch,
• 5:37
  inch and a half of snow and
• 5:39
  they're calling for a lot
• 5:40
  more before the weekend's over.
• 5:42
  And actually they're calling
• 5:43
  for a ton the night before
• 5:45
  my wife's knee replacement surgery.
• 5:47
  So we do not want that delayed.
• 5:50
  Just praying that that does
• 5:51
  not happen again.
• 5:52
  But that is supposed to roll
• 5:54
  in Sunday evening into Monday morning.
• 5:58
  And I said about the gel
• 6:00
  tasting like cotton balls.
• 6:01
  Yeah.
• 6:02
  So you have a lot of cotton
• 6:03
  balls in your mouth.
• 6:05
  To know that flavor.
• 6:09
  If you go to the dentist,
• 6:11
  at some point they put some
• 6:12
  kind of cotton thing in your mouth,
• 6:14
  usually to soak up the
• 6:18
  excess saliva when they're
• 6:19
  working on you.
• 6:20
  And that's how I know what the flavor is,
• 6:22
  Ken.
• 6:23
  So there.
• 6:27
  Corey offered up his
• 6:28
  services of using a car
• 6:30
  battery and some jump leads.
• 6:32
  That would have been good.
• 6:34
  And thank you for the well wishes,
• 6:35
  Jay Birch.
• 6:37
  Yeah, feeling better already.
• 6:39
  Just a little tired because
• 6:40
  we've been up early doing
• 6:41
  that and can't wait to feel
• 6:46
  even better as I get some
• 6:48
  rest and get back to full
• 6:52
  go here in a couple days.
• 6:56
  And Jake brings in his sausages as always.
• 7:03
  So there we go.
• 7:06
  So that is kind of what's
• 7:09
  going on with me.
• 7:11
  I did want to touch on,
• 7:13
  and this is going to be a
• 7:13
  shorter show today probably
• 7:15
  than other weeks because
• 7:19
  I usually do a little bit of
• 7:20
  prep before the show.
• 7:21
  I've had no time to do that
• 7:23
  today as I was at the
• 7:25
  hospital for most of the
• 7:26
  morning until about forty
• 7:27
  five minutes to an hour ago.
• 7:30
  So there's that.
• 7:33
  But I wanted to address,
• 7:34
  yesterday I talked about
• 7:37
  the WFP and a lot of
• 7:39
  comments in a negative
• 7:41
  fashion about the WFP.
• 7:43
  And I went on a little mini
• 7:46
  riff about that we've been
• 7:48
  bitching about the format
• 7:49
  of the season for so long.
• 7:52
  And that someone has come
• 7:53
  along to try to rectify that issue.
• 7:58
  And our first reaction is to
• 8:00
  bitch about that or to...
• 8:04
  I think one of the things is
• 8:05
  like everything,
• 8:06
  everybody's talking about
• 8:07
  what may happen in twenty
• 8:09
  six and twenty seven.
• 8:10
  My God,
• 8:10
  we're not even through twenty five yet.
• 8:13
  We don't even we've not
• 8:14
  given this organization an
• 8:16
  opportunity to prove anything to us.
• 8:18
  And we're already ripping them apart.
• 8:21
  And again,
• 8:22
  I have nothing against CrossFit.
• 8:23
  I'm going to support them just as much.
• 8:25
  But these people are coming
• 8:27
  in with a great idea and a
• 8:29
  season that makes sense.
• 8:31
  And I want to see it play out.
• 8:32
  I want to see how well it
• 8:33
  does before I start ripping
• 8:37
  everything apart.
• 8:38
  we had a couple comments on
• 8:39
  that yesterday that I do
• 8:41
  want to share and so um
• 8:43
  that's one of the things I
• 8:44
  wanted to talk about
• 8:45
  briefly so here are some
• 8:49
  comments from uh
• 8:52
  yesterday's show and I'm
• 8:54
  going to start with it's
• 8:55
  wellness girl um she says I
• 8:59
  love love coffee pods and
• 9:01
  watson spin and I do too because um
• 9:05
  I'm a member of both of
• 9:06
  those channels I list the
• 9:08
  spin I listen to every
• 9:09
  single week if you're not
• 9:11
  listening to spin you're
• 9:12
  not getting the news that's
• 9:13
  going on I'm so I'm a big
• 9:15
  fan of that and I've known
• 9:16
  peter we started our
• 9:18
  podcast about three weeks
• 9:19
  apart from each other and
• 9:21
  we've been friends uh ever
• 9:22
  since the start and so
• 9:25
  super super supportive of
• 9:26
  both those people
• 9:28
  she goes on to say og
• 9:29
  listening every episode but
• 9:30
  I felt exactly the same as
• 9:32
  scott on this I have been
• 9:33
  reassuring myself that they
• 9:35
  are just trying to generate
• 9:36
  conversation and buzz by
• 9:37
  adding contradicting
• 9:39
  opinion but I really felt
• 9:41
  their negativity stuck out
• 9:42
  painfully on both shows
• 9:44
  yesterday at the end of the
• 9:45
  day can we all just not get
• 9:47
  excited for more
• 9:49
  opportunities to watch
• 9:50
  these awesome humans
• 9:51
  compete I understand why
• 9:52
  people don't want to be just
• 9:55
  Yes, men, all the time.
• 9:56
  But right now,
• 9:57
  would a small bit of
• 9:58
  consensus and shared
• 9:59
  excitement be more
• 10:01
  beneficial for the
• 10:01
  community and betterment of
• 10:04
  CrossFit right now?
• 10:06
  So that is it's Wellness Girl.
• 10:10
  And then the Clooney's or
• 10:12
  Clooney's Adventures.
• 10:14
  I really wish I knew how to
• 10:15
  pronounce that.
• 10:17
  I'm going to just read this last line,
• 10:19
  whether the WFP survives or not,
• 10:21
  the innovation that they
• 10:22
  are trying is a big win overall.
• 10:26
  Exactly.
• 10:27
  Um,
• 10:27
  so those are kind of echoing what I
• 10:30
  talked about yesterday on the show.
• 10:32
  Um, for the first time ever, there is a,
• 10:38
  a fitness season where we
• 10:40
  have a very logical start and end date.
• 10:45
  or start and end,
• 10:47
  where you can tell a story.
• 10:49
  Tour event one, earn points.
• 10:51
  Tour event two, earn points.
• 10:53
  Top thirty point getters go
• 10:54
  to the final to compete to
• 10:56
  see who are the top twenty
• 10:58
  to get their pro card or
• 11:00
  who is the champion overall,
• 11:02
  if that's what you're more excited about.
• 11:04
  I think that makes a very linear,
• 11:06
  easy to tell story.
• 11:10
  that we have not gotten from
• 11:12
  CrossFit and that we've
• 11:13
  been begging for for about
• 11:16
  eight years now.
• 11:19
  Ever since regionals went away,
• 11:21
  we have been begging for a linear story.
• 11:24
  Back when CrossFit first
• 11:25
  started and we had that open to regional,
• 11:29
  to games, it made sense.
• 11:32
  It was linear.
• 11:34
  You in your region,
• 11:35
  you were in the top twenty.
• 11:36
  You got to go on to the super regional,
• 11:39
  super regional.
• 11:39
  You're in the top five.
• 11:42
  You you moved on to the games.
• 11:44
  Super simple, super easy.
• 11:46
  And then in twenty eighteen,
• 11:49
  when Greg changed
• 11:50
  everything and we went to
• 11:51
  more of this global concept
• 11:54
  where every country had a
• 11:56
  representative and we did
• 11:59
  and we did sanctionals,
• 12:00
  we did all that kind of stuff.
• 12:02
  That's when things got really complicated.
• 12:04
  And ever since then,
• 12:05
  there's been no easy way to
• 12:07
  tell a friend of mine that
• 12:08
  it does not know about CrossFit,
• 12:11
  what the season means,
• 12:12
  how to get to the end,
• 12:14
  or how we crown a champion.
• 12:17
  It just is...
• 12:19
  impossible to tell and we've
• 12:21
  been bitching about that
• 12:22
  ever since that point and
• 12:24
  here we are today with an
• 12:26
  organization who is trying
• 12:27
  to meet those needs by
• 12:30
  having an easy story to
• 12:31
  tell by giving the athletes
• 12:33
  an opportunity and we're
• 12:36
  immediately discrediting it
• 12:39
  by um by little
• 12:44
  fact finding missions about
• 12:45
  the future that may or may not be true.
• 12:48
  Like everybody's saying,
• 12:49
  there's this contract
• 12:51
  contradicting information.
• 12:52
  Everything will has put out
• 12:54
  has been that we are not
• 12:55
  looking for exclusivity.
• 12:57
  One athlete goes on a
• 12:59
  podcast in Europe that we need AI to, um,
• 13:04
  discern and now will's a
• 13:08
  liar because he's saying
• 13:09
  they're looking for
• 13:10
  exclusivity in will didn't
• 13:13
  say it victor hoffer did if
• 13:15
  the ai is correct so I
• 13:20
  don't know jay birch wants
• 13:26
  to know so why what does
• 13:28
  that say about the
• 13:28
  ecosystem I think the ecosystem is
• 13:32
  We have almost been
• 13:34
  conditioned to look for the
• 13:37
  negative in everything.
• 13:43
  So I think that whenever new
• 13:50
  stuff comes out,
• 13:50
  our first reaction is to
• 13:52
  find out what's wrong with it.
• 13:55
  instead of looking for the
• 13:57
  benefits of it or what
• 13:59
  could be good for the community about it,
• 14:01
  we look to tear it down first.
• 14:10
  So it looks very dysfunctional.
• 14:12
  Are you talking about the WFP?
• 14:15
  The WFP,
• 14:17
  if you listen to just the people
• 14:19
  in charge,
• 14:20
  does not seem dysfunctional to me.
• 14:25
  Where the dysfunction comes
• 14:26
  in is you have an athlete
• 14:28
  saying this or an athlete
• 14:30
  saying that who aren't
• 14:31
  organizers of this entity.
• 14:35
  They are just players in the game.
• 14:38
  And so we don't know what the truth is.
• 14:44
  All of that is rumor and speculation.
• 14:47
  The only thing that we can
• 14:48
  truly take to heart is what
• 14:51
  Will and Jackson have
• 14:52
  talked about on podcasts.
• 14:55
  And until, and that's,
• 14:59
  that's the bad thing about
• 15:00
  not releasing all the
• 15:01
  information at once and not
• 15:03
  understanding because
• 15:04
  everybody's digging and
• 15:05
  looking for that additional information.
• 15:07
  And then you get, I heard this,
• 15:10
  I heard that.
• 15:12
  And then I think that adds confusion.
• 15:15
  I don't think it's dysfunction at all, but
• 15:21
  I'm just a little old guy in
• 15:22
  my basement in Ohio watching this go by.
• 15:27
  And I seem to be in the
• 15:28
  minority by giving the
• 15:31
  benefit of the doubt.
• 15:33
  And so maybe I am naive.
• 15:41
  Maybe I just want something to work.
• 15:47
  Maybe I want something to
• 15:48
  push CrossFit to be better.
• 15:51
  We've been asking for them
• 15:52
  to be better about their
• 15:53
  organization for a long
• 15:55
  time on the sports side of things.
• 15:58
  And they have not answered that bell.
• 16:05
  So Ken says, according to Drunk Pedro,
• 16:08
  today is Friday.
• 16:09
  It's not very clear.
• 16:11
  Well,
• 16:12
  while I love the news that drunk
• 16:14
  Pedro provides and I,
• 16:17
  and I find it humorous and
• 16:18
  I watch every version of this,
• 16:20
  I have not seen today's yet.
• 16:22
  Um, but I don't think it is, um,
• 16:28
  it does not contain
• 16:29
  journalistic integrity as a, um,
• 16:35
  as a new source.
• 16:40
  Jay Burch says, I'm with you, Scott.
• 16:41
  I would rather give it a go
• 16:42
  rather than poo-poo
• 16:43
  everything that comes along.
• 16:48
  And Corey Leonard says,
• 16:49
  maybe you just have a more
• 16:49
  positive outlook the most.
• 16:52
  It's probably that I have
• 16:53
  somewhat of a positive outlook.
• 16:55
  It's probably somewhat that I'm naive.
• 16:57
  And it's probably somewhat
• 16:58
  that I want something.
• 17:01
  I love covering the sport.
• 17:03
  I love what this methodology
• 17:05
  has done for me personally.
• 17:07
  And I love the sport itself
• 17:09
  and following it.
• 17:10
  And I want it to be successful.
• 17:13
  I just want it to be successful.
• 17:15
  And we've put all of our
• 17:17
  eggs in this one entity
• 17:19
  that we keep complaining.
• 17:20
  Isn't doing what we need it to do.
• 17:23
  And, um,
• 17:26
  now we have this other
• 17:27
  organization and according
• 17:29
  to tr maybe a third
• 17:31
  organization uh if hiller
• 17:33
  is is accurate um trying to
• 17:36
  put something together that
• 17:37
  makes sense and trying to
• 17:40
  answer all of the
• 17:41
  complaints that we've had
• 17:43
  and the first thing we do
• 17:44
  is poo poo on it and I just
• 17:45
  don't want to be that
• 17:46
  person I want to be a
• 17:48
  person that like watches it play out
• 17:51
  Give it a good go.
• 17:53
  Give it a shot.
• 17:54
  See what we have.
• 17:55
  And again, they're in year one.
• 17:57
  They can modify it,
• 18:00
  tweak it during year one for year two.
• 18:11
  Jay Burch says, well,
• 18:11
  I am personally a realist.
• 18:13
  My wife says I'm a pessimist.
• 18:15
  I would love to see the sport evolve.
• 18:17
  I would love that.
• 18:19
  More than anything,
• 18:20
  I want to see the sport evolve.
• 18:23
  I want more to talk about.
• 18:24
  I want the storylines that
• 18:27
  would come from what the
• 18:29
  WFP has put together would
• 18:32
  be so freaking cool.
• 18:36
  have these twenty athletes
• 18:37
  that are known that have
• 18:39
  their contract that have
• 18:41
  their pro card whatever you
• 18:42
  want to say and then you
• 18:44
  have this group of people
• 18:46
  trying to be the ten to
• 18:48
  take them down I and I love
• 18:51
  that concept I love and of
• 18:54
  course if you followed this
• 18:55
  podcast at all the ten are
• 18:58
  where I'm interested
• 19:00
  want to know those ten I
• 19:02
  want to know who those ten
• 19:03
  are I want to know what
• 19:04
  their their plans are to
• 19:07
  and how they're going to
• 19:07
  get to the twenty that's
• 19:11
  what I find fascinating
• 19:18
  modification over time is a
• 19:19
  necessity all pro sports go
• 19:21
  through modifications there
• 19:23
  are rule changes every year
• 19:24
  in the nfl there are rule
• 19:26
  changes every year in major
• 19:27
  league baseball
• 19:28
  And those sports are a hundred years old.
• 19:32
  They still modify every year,
• 19:35
  but they don't revamp every
• 19:37
  year like CrossFit has done
• 19:40
  over the past five to six years.
• 19:44
  Tweak, modify, good.
• 19:47
  Revamp every year, bad.
• 19:54
  So,
• 19:56
  again I didn't get a lot of
• 19:57
  prep time in uh for today
• 20:00
  uh so I don't have a whole
• 20:01
  lot to talk about um I did
• 20:03
  watch the notre dame
• 20:05
  georgia game yesterday
• 20:06
  notre dame looked really
• 20:08
  really good um it's been
• 20:10
  interesting seeing the sec
• 20:13
  not do as well um in this
• 20:16
  twelve team playoff as they
• 20:17
  have done in years past I I
• 20:20
  watched a little bit of get
• 20:21
  up right before I got on the air here
• 20:24
  And they were talking about
• 20:25
  how the NIL and the
• 20:27
  transfer portal are
• 20:28
  changing things for the SEC,
• 20:31
  where they used to be able
• 20:32
  to stack their teams.
• 20:34
  Guys don't want to wait
• 20:35
  around because there's
• 20:36
  money that they can make if
• 20:38
  they go start at another school earlier.
• 20:42
  and it's uh making the the
• 20:43
  backups not as good as they
• 20:45
  used to be or the sec
• 20:47
  schools not as deep as they
• 20:49
  used to be and the only sec
• 20:51
  school left in the
• 20:52
  competition is texas who
• 20:54
  was a big twelve team last
• 20:56
  year so they weren't they
• 20:58
  are brand new spanking new
• 21:00
  to the sec which is crazy to me um
• 21:04
  we have the final week of
• 21:05
  the NFL this week and
• 21:06
  there's still stuff to play for.
• 21:08
  Uh, so I'll,
• 21:09
  I'll be checking into all of that.
• 21:12
  And then we have college
• 21:13
  football playoffs at the
• 21:14
  end of next week.
• 21:15
  Thursday night is Penn state,
• 21:17
  Notre Dame Friday is, um,
• 21:20
  Ohio state and Texas.
• 21:24
  Um,
• 21:24
  I think those are some pretty cool
• 21:25
  matchups.
• 21:27
  Um,
• 21:27
  of course I'll be rooting for my
• 21:28
  Nittany lions.
• 21:30
  Uh, uh,
• 21:33
  And Penn State, Notre Dame.
• 21:35
  I mean,
• 21:35
  that takes me back to nineteen
• 21:37
  eighty six laying on my
• 21:38
  bedroom floor watching Penn
• 21:40
  State play Notre Dame every
• 21:42
  year in my bedroom.
• 21:44
  And Rudy, in the eighties, man,
• 21:47
  I was a I was I rooted for
• 21:49
  Penn State and whoever played Notre Dame.
• 21:51
  So taking me back to those games,
• 21:54
  I hated Notre Dame back in the day.
• 21:58
  Ken Walters, Vikings fan.
• 22:01
  Wow, what an NFC North year.
• 22:05
  So Sunday night we're getting Vikes, Lions,
• 22:09
  both teams, XIV and II.
• 22:12
  No two XIV win teams have
• 22:15
  faced each other in a
• 22:16
  regular season ever in the NFL.
• 22:19
  It's happening Sunday night.
• 22:20
  The winner of that game gets
• 22:22
  the NFC North.
• 22:25
  The number one seed, first round by,
• 22:28
  home field advantage
• 22:29
  throughout the playoffs,
• 22:30
  and the other team is a wild card.
• 22:33
  And with fourteen freaking wins,
• 22:36
  a wild card.
• 22:37
  That is insane.
• 22:40
  That game is going to be epic.
• 22:42
  I cannot wait to see that
• 22:43
  game Sunday night.
• 22:47
  But I will probably catch
• 22:47
  the second half because
• 22:50
  I'll be here live with
• 22:51
  Carolyn and Jamie on Sunday
• 22:53
  Night CrossFit Talk.
• 22:55
  We're going to go over our
• 22:56
  workouts for the traveling
• 22:58
  gauntlet that we have come up with.
• 23:03
  If you have submitted your
• 23:05
  workout that you think
• 23:06
  would be good for the gauntlet,
• 23:07
  you'll go in the drawing to
• 23:09
  win one of our vessels for liquid.
• 23:12
  There is the water bottle,
• 23:14
  the Clydesdale Medial Water Bottle.
• 23:18
  with the logo engraved in the side,
• 23:20
  or you can pick a coffee cup,
• 23:24
  the same color, same steel makeup,
• 23:27
  and the same etched in vessel.
• 23:30
  So we're going to go through
• 23:33
  those on Sunday night and
• 23:36
  see what you guys have come up with.
• 23:44
  Jeff, Jay Birch is going, go horns.
• 23:50
  Corey Leonard,
• 23:50
  here's a question to ponder.
• 23:51
  If the Bengals decide to
• 23:53
  actually procure a defense,
• 23:55
  how scary will they be?
• 23:58
  That's a team that was in the Super Bowl,
• 24:00
  what, two years ago, three years ago?
• 24:03
  And now, because of just a crappy defense,
• 24:07
  wow, they would be really scary,
• 24:10
  honestly.
• 24:11
  My wife is a Steelers fan,
• 24:13
  so I do not want that to
• 24:14
  happen because when wife is unhappy,
• 24:16
  the house is unhappy.
• 24:18
  So I root for the Steelers
• 24:21
  unless they play the Bears
• 24:23
  just to keep my wife happy.
• 24:29
  The over under on the Vikes
• 24:31
  Lions game is fifty nine points.
• 24:33
  I don't know if I've seen an
• 24:34
  NFL over under that high before.
• 24:43
  Andrew Sten,
• 24:44
  who I am assuming is a Bengals
• 24:45
  fan since he lives in Cincinnati,
• 24:49
  says they would be very
• 24:50
  scary if they keep Chase and T. Man.
• 24:55
  Last week, T. Higgins was unstoppable.
• 25:00
  And that's because they were
• 25:01
  doubling Chase on every play.
• 25:05
  And T. Higgins went off.
• 25:10
  All I want for Christmas is
• 25:12
  an offensive line for the Chicago Bears.
• 25:15
  That's it.
• 25:19
  I hope they draft five
• 25:21
  offensive linemen this year
• 25:23
  and sign three in free agency,
• 25:25
  and out of the batch we can
• 25:26
  get five good ones.
• 25:32
  And maybe sprinkle in a
• 25:33
  defensive lineman or two as well.
• 25:38
  But, yeah, that Cincinnati team,
• 25:39
  like living here in Columbus,
• 25:41
  we are smack dab in the
• 25:42
  middle of Cleveland, Cincinnati,
• 25:44
  and Pittsburgh,
• 25:45
  and we get all of that mess
• 25:48
  of the AFC North.
• 25:52
  And the Browns have problems.
• 25:59
  If you put the Browns'
• 26:00
  defense with the Bengals' offense,
• 26:03
  they would be unbeatable.
• 26:07
  the browns can't get out of
• 26:09
  their own way on offense
• 26:10
  and the bengals defense
• 26:11
  can't get out of their own
• 26:12
  way on defense and uh it
• 26:15
  it's lessening both teams so
• 26:23
  Well, guys, as always, man,
• 26:25
  it's fun hanging out.
• 26:26
  I just wanted to do a quick update.
• 26:28
  Since I had the procedure this morning,
• 26:31
  everything went well.
• 26:32
  We're back to sinus rhythm.
• 26:35
  And now I get to rest up on
• 26:37
  the weekend and get the
• 26:39
  house prepped for my wife,
• 26:40
  who's having surgery Monday
• 26:42
  morning to have a total knee replacement.
• 26:45
  And so she will become the
• 26:47
  focus of the house from that.
• 26:53
  We'll see how that goes.
• 26:54
  I'm going to try to jump on
• 26:57
  either Monday or Tuesday.
• 26:59
  Her surgery is super early.
• 27:01
  We have to be there at like six,
• 27:02
  fifteen in the morning.
• 27:03
  It's like an hour and a half
• 27:04
  to two hour surgery.
• 27:06
  And then...
• 27:08
  And then she'll be in
• 27:09
  recovery and then to her
• 27:10
  room because she's spending the night,
• 27:12
  the first night.
• 27:14
  I'll probably come home and
• 27:14
  rest for a little bit and
• 27:16
  get her some stuff.
• 27:18
  And so maybe I'll jump on
• 27:19
  for a short show on Monday
• 27:20
  or just to give you guys an
• 27:22
  update on how everything
• 27:23
  went with her and talk
• 27:26
  about anything that may pop
• 27:27
  up over the weekend.
• 27:29
  But again, wanted to hop on,
• 27:31
  let you know that
• 27:32
  everything went great with
• 27:33
  me this morning,
• 27:34
  back in sinus rhythm and
• 27:36
  ready to take on the world
• 27:38
  now in twenty twenty five.
• 27:40
  With all of you as my
• 27:42
  friends and the list and
• 27:44
  the listeners that are so
• 27:46
  awesome to the show.
• 27:47
  Thank you so much, guys.
• 27:49
  We will be back.
• 27:50
  Hopefully we will definitely
• 27:52
  be back Sunday night.
• 27:53
  CrossFit talk with.
• 27:57
  Jamie and Carolyn.
• 27:59
  And then I'll hopefully be
• 28:01
  back on Monday with a lunch
• 28:03
  show for y'all.
• 28:04
  Until then,
• 28:05
  you guys are the best as always.
• 28:08
  See you soon.
