- 0:33Welcome to the Clydesdale Media Roundtable.
- 0:35My name is Scott Sweets.
- 0:36I'm the Clydesdale.
- 0:37She's Amy Radowski.
- 0:39She's sporting a noble today.
- 0:41I am.
- 0:42Sweatshirt because it is getting freezing outside.
- 0:46There was some wintry mix.
- 0:50Crazy.
- 0:51I'm not ready.
- 0:52Nope.
- 0:53It was warm earlier and now it's winter.
- 0:58And I saw in the forecast by Christmas, it's supposed to be back to 50 something.
- 1:01Yeah, but then I heard January is going to be bad.
- 1:07Wow.
- 1:09Yeah.
- 1:09Well, I was just informed about an hour ago from one of the people in our chat, Holly, that we got a mention on Talking Elite Fitness this week.
- 1:22Interesting.
- 1:22Interesting.
- 1:24They were talking about media and should CrossFit hire back a media team or should they let third-party media do their thing?
- 1:34And Aaliyah Miller was a guest on, it was Death By.
- 1:38Yeah.
- 1:39And she said that Clydesdale is so passionate about the Masters group that they should take over that.
- 1:49She mentioned this a couple times and it was pretty cool.
- 1:53Hey, Charlie.
- 1:58That's cool.
- 1:59I'll have to go back and listen to it.
- 2:01Yeah, it's about halfway through.
- 2:04There's a short mention.
- 2:05And then like 12 minutes later, a longer mention.
- 2:10So yeah, nice.
- 2:12Yeah.
- 2:13Always nice to get get a shout out for something we do.
- 2:16Yeah.
- 2:18So how you were just saying before we got on here that you are recovering from Tempe?
- 2:25Yeah, as soon as I got back from Tempe, I was sick as a dog.
- 2:28And all the respiratory stuff.
- 2:32And I had been fighting it for a week.
- 2:34Today is the first day I feel somewhat normal.
- 2:39Just still don't have my full voice yet.
- 2:42And we had our Christmas, like my family's Christmas, Saturday.
- 2:48So pushed through that.
- 2:50Got through that.
- 2:51And then, yeah.
- 2:53Now I'm just trying to get through my work week.
- 2:56You know, it's interesting.
- 2:57Both of you are on here and both of you, it's your wife's birthday today, Scott.
- 3:03It is.
- 3:03And Charlie's wife turned 40 on Friday.
- 3:10So.
- 3:14I remember another 40th birthday party.
- 3:18Is that the one where Lisa was doing handstand pushups at Charlie's birthday party?
- 3:23that is correct yes okay that is she enjoyed it much more than i did apparently it was obvious who was having a good time at your 40th birthday party yeah oh boy
- 3:44So what are your guys' holiday plans?
- 3:48Because next Monday is Christmas.
- 3:50We will not be doing a show on Christmas.
- 3:53So just got any holiday plans for the week?
- 3:57I'm headed to Athens.
- 3:58My daughter came home from Athens, and now we're going to head back to Athens to celebrate with all my sisters and my parents and all the nieces over the weekend.
- 4:09And then we always do Christmas Eve at my in-laws.
- 4:13That's their day that we just honor that, and that's what our tradition is.
- 4:18And then we're always at home on Christmas morning.
- 4:21Yeah.
- 4:23That's all I know so far.
- 4:25And I was scrambling last minute just now shopping for more stuff because I got everything out and I was like, I don't have enough.
- 4:34Enough or uneven?
- 4:36I think not enough and uneven.
- 4:42Not enough and uneven.
- 4:43But here's what I found out why we're so struggling this year.
- 4:48You know who does most of the shopping in our house?
- 4:51Your husband.
- 4:53Correct.
- 4:55And this new job of his is keeping him busy, like real busy.
- 4:59So he is really off his game.
- 5:01So I've had to really step it up and step it up.
- 5:07That's what I had to do.
- 5:10It's about time.
- 5:12There's other ways that I contribute.
- 5:16That's just not a strength of mine.
- 5:18I'm just don't love that shopping.
- 5:23You got to lift your guy up during this time.
- 5:25I know.
- 5:26He's struggling with a new job.
- 5:27Yep.
- 5:29Yep.
- 5:29He'd been busy.
- 5:30So I'm picking up the slack.
- 5:33This place called Amazon makes it real easy.
- 5:36Yeah.
- 5:38I did.
- 5:38I've been doing that a lot though too.
- 5:40Like just, and I'm, but I'm trying not to make like 20 different Amazon orders.
- 5:45Right.
- 5:46It's like, but I have been just to be honest.
- 5:51You have prime.
- 5:52Yeah.
- 5:53Then what's the matter?
- 5:55I care for all the workers.
- 6:00Okay.
- 6:02All right, Charlie, what's your plans?
- 6:07I don't really have any.
- 6:09I don't really know what they are.
- 6:16All of a sudden, Christmas Eve, the car will be loaded with the kids and Lisa will be like, Charlie, you coming?
- 6:22Yep.
- 6:23I'm like, no, I'm good.
- 6:25But how's the elf situation working out since that's a new thing at your house?
- 6:31It's not.
- 6:33Yeah.
- 6:34So what'd you do?
- 6:35Just say your elves are lazy or what?
- 6:41It was a complaint about his positioning and he got offended and he said, I'm just not coming back.
- 6:54was it like your mobility that kind of thing yeah he could be in one position and that's all he could get into he moved he was in a good spot but his hands were on his knees still oh so they were like yeah maybe he has a respiratory issue he's just like trying to get some breath
- 7:22Either way, he said, I'm going to come back to Ohio.
- 7:26He peaced out.
- 7:27Bye.
- 7:28Good luck to you kids with future endeavors.
- 7:33And this is why we never got one before.
- 7:36I had such a different season of life.
- 7:42My daughter sent us a picture of her snoop on a stoop.
- 7:47And we thought about getting that.
- 7:50That would have been much cooler.
- 7:54He has a little Hennessy in one hand.
- 7:59And a joint in the other.
- 8:02Yeah.
- 8:04See, here's the thing I was telling somebody, Scott, because we're in semi-similar stages.
- 8:09It's harder to get into the Christmas spirit when your kids are older.
- 8:17For me.
- 8:18Agreed.
- 8:19It's just not as exciting to shop for stuff or
- 8:23it's a weird year for us.
- 8:26We were really done Christmas shopping in November.
- 8:30So like we were done super early.
- 8:32So then like everything's kind of crept up on us.
- 8:36And then like Corey's coming back next Saturday to open gifts here.
- 8:41Then she's going with her boyfriend for Christmas Eve, Christmas day.
- 8:47We're going to Pennsylvania on Christmas day.
- 8:49So Julie can go see her parents and I'm just going to hang out with my mom.
- 8:52So,
- 8:54Yeah.
- 8:57But yeah, it's just very different than years past.
- 9:00Yeah.
- 9:03So, so should we talk some CrossFit?
- 9:07Sure.
- 9:10So, um, as advertised, um, HWPO announced their pro roster.
- 9:17What was weird about it is they announced one, um,
- 9:24One Instagram post was this one and it said, Hey, here's our roster.
- 9:31And you go through it.
- 9:33We have catching David's daughter.
- 9:36Same as last year.
- 9:37Jason Hopper.
- 9:38You know, there are questions.
- 9:39He moved back to North Carolina, but he's still with HWPO.
- 9:44Brooke Wells.
- 9:47We knew that after Amanda Barnhart stayed there.
- 9:51Yeah.
- 9:53Mal O'Brien.
- 9:54Okay.
- 9:57That answers some questions because I think people have been wondering.
- 10:00And Jake Douglas.
- 10:02Which was weird.
- 10:06I'm still not convinced she's coming back to compete this year, but it's interesting that she is put into this pro roster.
- 10:13So this was the initial, and it said, our team of athletes is continuing to grow, and we can't wait to see these individuals show up and work hard.
- 10:22So my first question and friends of mine text to me, where is Christine Kohlenbrander?
- 10:29I said, I don't know.
- 10:34Well, then just like the next day, they say, oops, we have more.
- 10:41Oh, there she is.
- 10:42I see her commenting right there.
- 10:43Love this team.
- 10:45And there is Christine Kohlenbrander.
- 10:49But then it gets more interesting because the rest of these athletes weren't with HWPL last year, except maybe one of them, Sam Quant.
- 10:59I think he was because he went with the coach to HWPL.
- 11:06But then we have Jacqueline Dahlstrom.
- 11:11And this one I find fascinating.
- 11:13Because her significant other of several years owns the program, which she has been a part of in Europe and stationed in Majorca.
- 11:26She's been a part of that for years.
- 11:28Now, all of a sudden, she is switching camps away from her significant other.
- 11:36Even the notes or even the comments right there says it.
- 11:43Right.
- 11:44Yeah.
- 11:45And I went back.
- 11:47I did some sleuthing.
- 11:49I love that.
- 11:49Through Jacqueline's Instagram to see were there still pictures of John Sanderson.
- 11:57And he was with her in Dubai just a week ago.
- 12:01Wow.
- 12:03So here's my question to you is, I think it's fine that she moves.
- 12:08Maybe they both agreed.
- 12:10She just needed another voice as part because she didn't make the games last year.
- 12:16Her performances in the offseason haven't been awesome.
- 12:19So maybe she needs a new voice.
- 12:21But if you're HWPO, do you let a fox in the... Interesting.
- 12:30I didn't think about that aspect of it.
- 12:38Yeah, I think, yeah.
- 12:41Kenneth DeLapp, nine-month member.
- 12:44Thank you so much, Kenneth, for being with us.
- 12:46You're one of our best.
- 12:49We appreciate you so much.
- 12:54So, Fox and Henhouse, what do you think?
- 13:01I think it's okay.
- 13:02I mean, I think that Fraser is confident with his training.
- 13:09you know, regimen that I think he's confident with it.
- 13:14That, yeah.
- 13:16Charlie, does he look weird to anybody else?
- 13:21Matt Frazier.
- 13:24Matt, he looks bad.
- 13:25I mean, his neck looks thin.
- 13:30Yeah.
- 13:32Yeah.
- 13:39it's just different from what you're used to seeing yes so if you're hwpo do you let the significant other of another training camp come work out and be a member of your training camp why not okay so we'll move on then okay
- 14:08Anybody else?
- 14:08Okay, yeah.
- 14:09There we go.
- 14:09Cole.
- 14:10Cole Greasaber.
- 14:12Went from program back to roots, the guy he trained with, and now to HWPO, three different training camps, for lack of a better term, in three years.
- 14:28Yeah, that's a lot of moves.
- 14:30Maybe you just need to be consistent, but I guess his consistency is being inconsistent.
- 14:35But if this was Sarah Sigmund's daughter, we'd be like up in arms and throwing papers at the wall.
- 14:41Yeah.
- 14:43Good point.
- 14:44Fair.
- 14:48And Victor Hoffa.
- 14:53So I think this is a guy that is a gymnastics expert.
- 14:58Yeah.
- 14:59Blows all the gymnastics stuff out of the water.
- 15:02I think this is a good move for him.
- 15:04He needs to build strength.
- 15:06He needs to get that up as quickly as possible to be able to compete in today's CrossFit.
- 15:13And I think this is actually a very good move for him.
- 15:15So you're saying he doesn't have top-end strength?
- 15:22That is correct.
- 15:24Yet.
- 15:26And usually when I say that, it ends up well for the athlete that I say that against.
- 15:36So, okay, let's go back here.
- 15:37Let's review this for a second.
- 15:38I want to go back and consider another point when you were talking about letting a significant other come into a different training camp.
- 15:44Let's compare that to like another training camp of one so that we can look at it from that perspective.
- 15:53So like,
- 15:57Give me another training camp scenario.
- 16:03Like, I mean, it's not gonna be like Tia and Shane, but.
- 16:09So if Matt Torres and Danielle Brennan are still dating and Danielle goes to mayhem.
- 16:17Okay.
- 16:21I mean, that does feel weird.
- 16:26And Matt was on, Siobhan, this morning.
- 16:30She is now being coached by Coach L, not Matt.
- 16:32She has moved out of state.
- 16:35She's no longer in Florida.
- 16:36Yeah.
- 16:39But Coach L is still a brute coach.
- 16:42Right.
- 16:45so i don't that's not as weird right right but is the concern that let's say okay danielle that's you know goes to to mayhem is the concern that that that mayhem secrets are going to be shared with brute is that what we're saying that we're worried about happening not that okay well i think
- 17:09I think it can go both ways, right?
- 17:12Yeah, yeah.
- 17:13For the training camp that they're coming to, you would be afraid that they would steal your secrets, take them back to significant other.
- 17:20Not that how many secrets are there.
- 17:26What's that?
- 17:28Well, I was going to say the same thing.
- 17:29What secrets are we keeping, Mike?
- 17:32Hey, we did the biker twice this week.
- 17:34yeah i mean i still think athleticism and talent is going to be what what makes it not you know i don't think there's necessarily well let's put this in context matt didn't share anything while he was competing he didn't want anything out of what he did now that he's the owner of a training camp
- 18:00To allow the significant other of another training camp come in just seems off brand for Matt.
- 18:09Or does he not care as much now that it's these other athletes and not him?
- 18:21I think he doesn't care.
- 18:24Because there's a difference between you knowing what I do.
- 18:29and you being able to teach and cue what I do.
- 18:35So I can tell you whatever I want.
- 18:38You can buy my programming.
- 18:39You don't have the people.
- 18:42You don't have me and my brain to tweak what needs to be tweaked to push me to the next level.
- 18:52Yeah, OK.
- 18:53Yeah, I can see that.
- 18:55And it's all individualized once you get to that level, right?
- 18:59Right.
- 18:59Like these 10 athletes we just went through are all getting different coaching, are all getting different programming.
- 19:10And so it's going to depend on the athlete.
- 19:17And, and you could say like, you know, Ariel came out and said, all she did was interval training the entire time leading up to the games that worked for her last year.
- 19:26That doesn't mean it's going to work for every athlete.
- 19:30It worked for her.
- 19:31Yeah.
- 19:34Yeah.
- 19:36Speaking of what we were saying, Kenneth says brute, brute is a feeder camp for mayhem these days.
- 19:46I hear what he's saying.
- 19:47I think it's really about external things, not internal things about that.
- 19:54They had a coach who wanted more than just to be an athletic trainer.
- 20:01He wanted something about religion in his life.
- 20:05And so they sent him off with a blessing and two of the athletes wanted to go with him.
- 20:13So I don't think it's a mass exodus to mayhem from Brute.
- 20:17I think it's that one group that we're seeking more from a mission standpoint that went.
- 20:28And I think this is kind of brutal, Kenneth.
- 20:30I think Matt hasn't seen the success of an HWPO training camp that he originally wanted, so maybe he doesn't care as much.
- 20:43I don't know that he doesn't care, but I think there's specific athletes he probably takes, doesn't take.
- 20:55Yeah, if you watch the documentary with him and Katrin the whole way through the games, he cared a lot about her success.
- 21:06And he took her to another level.
- 21:11He did.
- 21:12She was definitely on the way out and he, he saved her career.
- 21:16Yeah.
- 21:17Yeah.
- 21:18She didn't belong two years ago.
- 21:21Agreed.
- 21:24So, yeah, I think it's just, everyone's just running to Laura Horvath out here.
- 21:32Who's just or Tia.
- 21:36Yeah.
- 21:39do we think tia is going to compete this year for the games uh yes okay i didn't know if you thought maybe she would just be like you know because she was like i lost at rogue so i'm done no i just maybe her priorities are different i don't know well i think she's coming guns a blazing
- 22:04all out to show that she can take a year off, come back, and is still the best.
- 22:10And then are we going to make sure to talk about how she's the fittest mom?
- 22:15I will not.
- 22:17I think that losing at Rogue helped to drive her.
- 22:24What kind of musical instruments you got going on over there, Charlie?
- 22:27It's a dog.
- 22:28Got it.
- 22:37there it goes frank frank the tank is he really truly has frank the tank over there beer bonging it in the corner i mean pretty much he just comes in uh yeah i think i i think this is interesting um
- 23:04There was also the mention of – I just saw this team –
- 23:10a new team out of underdogs with Mitch McLoone and CJ Gerald, uh, two semifinal athletes.
- 23:17We followed the last couple of years and they are going with Carson Wolf, who we interviewed last year for semifinals.
- 23:25And I don't know who the fourth is.
- 23:27I did not recognize her, but it's going to be a pretty, they're all semifinal athletes who are very strong in, in different ways.
- 23:37Um,
- 23:38Mitch is very strong.
- 23:40CJ is very cardio engine guy.
- 23:44And it's funny because I just talked to CJ at Legends because he lives in Arizona.
- 23:51So he stopped in to watch Legends.
- 23:52I talked to him for like 20 minutes there and he did not drop a hint that he was going team.
- 24:00But I saw that announcement like two nights ago.
- 24:04And I think it's going to be a pretty formidable team with very strong semifinal athletes.
- 24:11Yeah, yeah.
- 24:14Fun to watch, too.
- 24:17Yeah, I think that will complement the team well.
- 24:25Yeah, Carson's super young, like 19 or 20.
- 24:30And then you put her with the two vet guys.
- 24:35And I wish I could remember who the other one was, but yeah.
- 24:44Should be fun to watch.
- 24:45Yeah.
- 24:46Justin making some moves over there in Vegas.
- 24:50Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
- 24:54they put one team in the games last year with ralph duran yeah and that team so i wonder if they're coming back for another run so what's this other thing that kenneth was talking about about um trista and maderos taking on a powerlifting meet so
- 25:20I don't know the details because I was celebrating with my family this weekend, but Justin had said all along he needed to get out of his head, so he was not going to do off-season comps.
- 25:32He was going to sign up for a powerlifting meet.
- 25:36I guess he podiumed.
- 25:37Good.
- 25:38Okay.
- 25:40So me saying that he lacked top-end strength really did not feed well into that scenario.
- 25:48I mean, what kind of meat was it?
- 25:50Powerlifting.
- 25:52Powerlifting.
- 25:52But like at a local comp in London, Ohio?
- 25:59I don't know.
- 26:00Chill coffee.
- 26:00Come on.
- 26:02You said the Chili Bobo?
- 26:07Yeah, I don't know that.
- 26:12And I don't know how Trista Smith did.
- 26:15She was, she competed in the teen division last year.
- 26:17Uh, I guess I can look at the barbell spin.
- 26:24I know they reported it.
- 26:35So I will share my screen and we can read this together.
- 26:45So they competed in the USA powerlifting holiday hoist.
- 26:54And Smith competed in the women's raw team, meaning that that is a natural division and tested.
- 27:09And they can't wear any, like, bench press shirts.
- 27:13Yeah.
- 27:14Like any of the suits or anything like that.
- 27:18Adaris finished second.
- 27:21His back squats were 468, 490, and 512.
- 27:24Oh, by Charlie.
- 27:30Bench press 281, 292, and 303.
- 27:31Deadlift 567 and 600 pounds.
- 27:31And Trista was the only one competing in her age group, so she won.
- 27:37Her back squat was 270.
- 27:38Bench press 176.
- 27:43And her deadlift was 330.
- 28:04Jay Burch says, for me, I lift way more in powerlifting modalities than I can Olympic lifts.
- 28:09Yeah.
- 28:11Agree.
- 28:14So that's what happened with them.
- 28:19And if you want to go to Barbell Spin, they have some of the highlights of the lifts on their YouTube channel.
- 28:25Yeah.
- 28:27So, and I'll shout out to Carvel Spin.
- 28:30They are the most reliable source for actual news that you can get on the internet.
- 28:36So make sure if you have any questions, they're the place to be.
- 28:42Yeah.
- 28:47So.
- 28:47All right.
- 28:48Anything else in the CrossFit or a, whoa, it's a wide out right now.
- 28:53I can't see down here.
- 28:56I'm just telling you, it's happening.
- 29:02I know it was rough in the East Coast today.
- 29:04Because all the shows I watched on sports, they were having a hard time getting in.
- 29:09Yeah.
- 29:15So, yeah.
- 29:17Yeah, I don't think anything else in the CrossFit space.
- 29:20We are doing a, I just started scheduling.
- 29:24I'm doing a champion series from Legends.
- 29:30I've reached out to every champion from every division at Legends to see if they'll come on the show to do an interview with us.
- 29:39I've got one scheduled for Wednesday.
- 29:41Just happened about an hour ago.
- 29:43Shanna Buse.
- 29:46She's also a three-time games competitor and one-time games champion.
- 29:52And then Amy... I'll probably butcher this name.
- 29:58Chapotten?
- 29:59Chapotten?
- 30:02I will get clarification when she's on on Thursday.
- 30:06Uh, she'll be honest.
