Scott Switzer's Stream of Consciousness - New Show of just random thoughts on Random Things · Clydesdale Media Podcast

• 0:15
  That's how it went
• 0:35
  what's going on everybody
• 0:37
  welcome to a brand new show
• 0:40
  this is scott schweitzer's
• 0:42
  stream of consciousness um
• 0:45
  what that means I don't
• 0:47
  know kind of like uh
• 0:49
  letting you inside my head
• 0:52
  So what I wanted to do is
• 0:53
  kind of create a show where
• 0:55
  I could just kind of come
• 0:56
  on here by myself and chat
• 1:00
  about what's going on inside my head,
• 1:03
  what thoughts I have
• 1:04
  throughout the week of
• 1:07
  things that have popped up
• 1:09
  And not necessarily just in
• 1:10
  the CrossFit space,
• 1:11
  but that will be part of it.
• 1:13
  But also like in pop culture, in the news,
• 1:18
  in sports, in music,
• 1:22
  all different kinds of stuff.
• 1:23
  And I think you'll get kind
• 1:24
  of a little vibe as to what
• 1:28
  I mean by that in today's show.
• 1:30
  It's going to be a little eclectic,
• 1:32
  a little mix.
• 1:34
  Um, but we'll, we'll jump into it,
• 1:36
  see how you like it.
• 1:37
  And if you like it, we'll keep doing it.
• 1:40
  But really this is a vehicle
• 1:41
  for me to be able to hop on
• 1:43
  whenever I need to just by
• 1:45
  myself to be able to talk
• 1:47
  about things I'm seeing
• 1:48
  going on in the space, outside space,
• 1:51
  whatever.
• 1:53
  Um, but really just, just me,
• 1:56
  a chance to talk to you,
• 1:57
  the audience and you to
• 1:58
  talk to me and just go
• 2:01
  through whatever is, is happening.
• 2:03
  So the first thing I want to
• 2:04
  talk about is if you didn't
• 2:05
  see my interview this
• 2:06
  afternoon with Matt
• 2:07
  Schegeldecker and Kristen Slaper,
• 2:11
  they are a part of the nine
• 2:12
  eleven climb team.
• 2:15
  It started here in Ohio.
• 2:16
  It is now being spread more
• 2:19
  widely because they've
• 2:20
  partnered with Broken Science.
• 2:23
  But it's to honor and
• 2:24
  celebrate the first
• 2:26
  responders and the four
• 2:28
  hundred and fifty one first
• 2:30
  responders who died at nine
• 2:31
  eleven to honor them and
• 2:33
  celebrate those first
• 2:34
  responders who are
• 2:36
  continuing to do those jobs.
• 2:40
  But make it aware that
• 2:42
  physical and mental.
• 2:44
  health is important to them.
• 2:46
  And so they have a workout, uh,
• 2:49
  the CrossFit workout you
• 2:50
  can do on Wednesday.
• 2:52
  Um, but essentially what it is,
• 2:54
  is do anything that helps
• 2:56
  you move for forty one
• 2:59
  minutes and twenty seconds.
• 3:01
  That's it.
• 3:03
  Um, now they, they got mayhem and rich to,
• 3:06
  to come up with a workout.
• 3:07
  Uh, it, it has some steps.
• 3:09
  It
• 3:13
  Yeah, and Seema Boobs says,
• 3:17
  the guy who has state-funded parolees.
• 3:19
  That is correct.
• 3:20
  This is another initiative he has.
• 3:22
  Because of his connections
• 3:24
  with that program,
• 3:25
  he is starting this to
• 3:28
  bring awareness to mental
• 3:30
  and physical health issues
• 3:32
  with first responders.
• 3:34
  So that's happening this week.
• 3:38
  And it's a short like thirty
• 3:39
  minute interview we did
• 3:41
  with him and Kristen earlier today.
• 3:44
  If you want to go check that
• 3:45
  out and the workout is
• 3:47
  brought up during that
• 3:48
  interview if you want to
• 3:49
  check out what that is as well.
• 3:52
  The other thing I'm working
• 3:52
  on this week is the behind
• 3:53
  the scenes of the Masters CrossFit Games.
• 3:56
  Episode one will be out Monday morning,
• 3:59
  probably eight or nine a.m.
• 4:02
  I'm thinking it is pretty much finished.
• 4:05
  Just have to add in two
• 4:07
  voiceovers and it will be
• 4:08
  done and then I'll upload
• 4:11
  it and get it ready to launch.
• 4:13
  First thing Monday morning,
• 4:14
  episode one is check in day.
• 4:17
  Um,
• 4:17
  so it's basically just Ellie Hiller and
• 4:19
  myself walking through check-in day,
• 4:21
  talking to the athletes,
• 4:23
  finding out what's going on with them.
• 4:24
  Uh, so that will be episode one.
• 4:27
  And then next week will be episode two,
• 4:30
  which is event one, the deadlift run and,
• 4:33
  uh, the behind the scenes of what, uh,
• 4:35
  what was happening there and that.
• 4:38
  And Jonathan Ortega killed
• 4:39
  it with his videography and editing.
• 4:43
  I have to also shout out Caitlin Walters,
• 4:45
  who was a videographer for
• 4:46
  me at the Masters CrossFit
• 4:48
  Games and Holly Dugan,
• 4:50
  our stats and info person,
• 4:51
  who is always killing it.
• 4:54
  Ellie Hiller was amazing.
• 4:56
  She was running everywhere,
• 4:57
  getting interviews.
• 4:58
  It's going to be something special.
• 4:59
  I hope you guys check it out.
• 5:03
  Because the Masters athletes
• 5:05
  definitely have some pretty cool stories.
• 5:08
  So now let's get into the
• 5:09
  meat of what this program is going to be.
• 5:12
  And I'm going to start with
• 5:14
  the events of this week
• 5:16
  that are related to the
• 5:17
  death of Lazar Jukic.
• 5:20
  And it starts with Luca
• 5:23
  making a statement this
• 5:24
  week on Instagram.
• 5:26
  And for those of you who did not see that,
• 5:29
  I'm going to pull it up.
• 5:30
  I want to focus on two main
• 5:32
  issues with this.
• 5:38
  So, um,
• 5:39
  Luca put out a statement basically
• 5:42
  saying that a timeline of
• 5:44
  events that happened and
• 5:45
  the conversation that
• 5:46
  happened with him and Dave
• 5:48
  Castro with Nicole Carol in the room.
• 5:50
  Um, I'm sure you've heard about it, uh,
• 5:54
  repeatedly this week,
• 5:55
  but I wanted to give a
• 5:56
  little bit of input.
• 5:57
  And this is later in the statement.
• 5:59
  And he says here,
• 6:01
  while I won't point fingers
• 6:03
  on this post or try to ruin anyone's name,
• 6:06
  I feel obligated with my
• 6:07
  family to do everything
• 6:08
  that is legally in my power
• 6:09
  to ask questions,
• 6:10
  go deeper into this case
• 6:12
  and try to see whose fault
• 6:14
  is that there was no
• 6:16
  reaction from the
• 6:17
  multimillion dollar
• 6:17
  organization whose most of
• 6:19
  the staff's job is to make
• 6:21
  this one word weekend perfect.
• 6:25
  He also goes on to say that, um,
• 6:30
  even if I did want to go
• 6:31
  deeper in this conversation,
• 6:32
  I wouldn't because what's,
• 6:34
  what's it doing other than
• 6:36
  just taking attention away
• 6:37
  from where it should be.
• 6:39
  And that is,
• 6:40
  how could this happen on
• 6:41
  competition of this size?
• 6:42
  How could this happen on a live stream?
• 6:44
  And to someone who was very
• 6:45
  easy to keep track of as he
• 6:48
  was one of the few people in the lead.
• 6:51
  So,
• 6:54
  while Luke is mad and I completely,
• 6:56
  completely understand that
• 6:57
  if anybody has a right to be pissed off,
• 7:00
  it is Luka Jukic.
• 7:01
  He lost his brother.
• 7:03
  I lost my father just a few years ago.
• 7:05
  I know what that feeling is
• 7:07
  like losing a family member
• 7:09
  so close to you is devastating and it,
• 7:12
  and it puts you in weird head spaces.
• 7:15
  And, um,
• 7:17
  if anybody deserves to go out on
• 7:18
  the internet and say what
• 7:19
  they feel and say, uh,
• 7:23
  that they're upset.
• 7:24
  It is Luka Jukic.
• 7:25
  He has every right to do that.
• 7:28
  The reaction to this has
• 7:30
  been startling to me, though.
• 7:33
  It seems like an angry mob
• 7:34
  immediately took the words
• 7:36
  of Luka Jukic and made
• 7:40
  steps toward whose fault it was,
• 7:43
  who's to blame,
• 7:44
  whose head needs to be on a platter.
• 7:46
  And in Luka's own words, he says,
• 7:49
  I'm not ready to point
• 7:50
  fingers at this point.
• 7:52
  I'm ready to ask more questions.
• 7:54
  I'm ready to dig deeper.
• 7:55
  Yet, the entire internet, it seems,
• 7:58
  has become this angry mob
• 8:01
  ready to go after whoever it is.
• 8:05
  The other thing I think
• 8:06
  that's getting lost in all
• 8:07
  of this is we lost a really
• 8:10
  great guy in Lazar Jukic.
• 8:14
  And that's getting lost with
• 8:17
  everybody's agendas around
• 8:20
  what has happened.
• 8:21
  the PFAA going in this direction.
• 8:24
  And none of it has to do
• 8:26
  with that event or the
• 8:28
  safety of that event,
• 8:29
  but what they've wanted to
• 8:30
  accomplish for years and
• 8:32
  what they're blaming CrossFit of doing.
• 8:36
  And it's putting Lazar out
• 8:38
  of the story completely, which is wrong,
• 8:44
  completely wrong.
• 8:45
  And the reaction to this has been,
• 8:50
  Luca's reaction was measured
• 8:53
  for a guy that should be pissed off.
• 8:56
  Yet the internet's reaction
• 8:58
  to this is not measured and
• 9:00
  has become an angry mob.
• 9:02
  And it seems that the more
• 9:04
  people that are posting
• 9:06
  these angry statements about people,
• 9:08
  about organizations,
• 9:10
  the more people are jumping
• 9:12
  on that bandwagon and going forward.
• 9:17
  I find that ridiculous in this case.
• 9:23
  So the story moves on with
• 9:26
  an apology from Dave Castro
• 9:28
  later that day.
• 9:30
  I will go ahead and share
• 9:31
  that screen as well.
• 9:36
  Um, Dave Castro said,
• 9:37
  I read Lucas post this
• 9:39
  morning and would like to
• 9:40
  apologize to him and the
• 9:42
  entire Jukic family.
• 9:44
  I should never have said
• 9:45
  that the decision to
• 9:46
  continue the CrossFit games
• 9:47
  in August was blessed by their family.
• 9:50
  At the time,
• 9:51
  the decision was made to
• 9:52
  continue the games and
• 9:54
  allow our athletes to compete.
• 9:56
  and we respected those
• 9:57
  athletes who decided to withdraw.
• 9:59
  This decision was made by CrossFit,
• 10:01
  and I never intended to put
• 10:02
  the weight of this decision on Luca,
• 10:05
  the Jukic family,
• 10:06
  or our CrossFit athletes.
• 10:08
  I've never been in a
• 10:09
  situation like this before,
• 10:10
  and I absolutely made a mistake.
• 10:12
  I sincerely regret any pain
• 10:14
  that I've caused.
• 10:18
  So we have a response from
• 10:19
  Dave Castro saying that the
• 10:21
  words he used were wrong.
• 10:25
  The words that people have
• 10:26
  been attacking him for using,
• 10:28
  saying it was blessed by
• 10:30
  both the athletes and
• 10:31
  blessed by the Jukic family.
• 10:34
  He says he made a mistake,
• 10:36
  he says he was wrong,
• 10:37
  and he apologized for that.
• 10:43
  Then, almost...
• 10:45
  A few hours later,
• 10:47
  we then get another news
• 10:51
  story from the barbell spin
• 10:53
  reporting that an email was
• 10:55
  sent to athletes from Dawnfall.
• 11:01
  And here is that you can
• 11:02
  read the entire email on
• 11:05
  the barbell spin.
• 11:07
  And it says, hello,
• 11:08
  I'm writing to share a few
• 11:09
  important updates.
• 11:11
  He basically talks about the
• 11:12
  third party investigation
• 11:14
  and that that is still ongoing.
• 11:16
  Um,
• 11:17
  he wanted everybody to know that if
• 11:20
  you're president at present
• 11:22
  at the games and despite desire,
• 11:25
  desire to speak with an
• 11:26
  investigator about the swim
• 11:28
  and individual event one to do so,
• 11:30
  we will be following up
• 11:31
  directly with instructions
• 11:32
  on how to reach the investigator.
• 11:35
  So he's telling anybody who
• 11:37
  wants to speak out about
• 11:39
  what happened at the event
• 11:40
  that they will put them in
• 11:41
  touch with the investigator
• 11:44
  or the way to get in touch
• 11:45
  with the investigator.
• 11:48
  He also then goes into a
• 11:49
  community dialogue.
• 11:51
  Separate and apart from the investigation,
• 11:53
  we've heard many people in
• 11:54
  our community across a
• 11:55
  range of topics related to
• 11:57
  CrossFit as a sport.
• 11:58
  Over the past three weeks,
• 11:59
  I personally met with many
• 12:00
  of our athletes and other
• 12:02
  members of the community.
• 12:03
  These conversations have
• 12:04
  helped me better understand
• 12:06
  issues that are top of mind
• 12:08
  and different points of view that exist.
• 12:11
  And he says he will continue
• 12:12
  to do that over the coming weeks.
• 12:15
  He finishes with mental
• 12:17
  health and trauma support
• 12:18
  will be available.
• 12:20
  As promised,
• 12:20
  we also wanted to share
• 12:21
  details regarding mental
• 12:23
  health and trauma support
• 12:24
  to those who attended the
• 12:25
  twenty twenty four CrossFit
• 12:27
  Games and were affected by
• 12:28
  the death of Lazar Jukic.
• 12:31
  This resource will be
• 12:32
  serviced through Lira Health,
• 12:34
  which offers several
• 12:34
  confidential support options,
• 12:36
  including therapy,
• 12:37
  coaching and unlimited
• 12:38
  access to self-care apps.
• 12:41
  If you're on site in Fort Worth,
• 12:44
  CrossFit is offering access
• 12:46
  to eight free coaching or
• 12:47
  therapy sessions within a
• 12:49
  six-month period starting today.
• 12:52
  And I can verify that I,
• 12:54
  as an attendee of the CrossFit Games,
• 12:57
  got an email stating this
• 12:58
  exact same thing.
• 13:00
  So that also did happen.
• 13:05
  So with all this...
• 13:07
  I've been very reserved
• 13:08
  about talking about this
• 13:10
  and how things should go
• 13:12
  until the investigation was complete.
• 13:15
  Um,
• 13:15
  and the full medical examiner report is
• 13:17
  back.
• 13:18
  I know Luca talks about a
• 13:20
  conversation he had with
• 13:21
  the medical medical examiner,
• 13:24
  but I would like to see the
• 13:24
  full report and,
• 13:26
  and everything that happened.
• 13:27
  But regardless of that, a man died,
• 13:30
  a man should not have died.
• 13:33
  Um,
• 13:35
  But the reality is this happens in sport.
• 13:40
  There is an assumption of
• 13:41
  risk every time an athlete
• 13:42
  takes the floor, the field, the track,
• 13:47
  the pool, whatever it is,
• 13:48
  there is an assumption of risk.
• 13:51
  That doesn't mean that you
• 13:52
  burned down the building
• 13:53
  because somebody messed up.
• 13:56
  What it means is you learn
• 13:58
  from your mistakes,
• 13:59
  you get better at what you did,
• 14:02
  and you try to move on.
• 14:05
  There have been deaths in
• 14:06
  sport all across the world.
• 14:10
  And in every case,
• 14:12
  the organization that runs
• 14:13
  the sport learns from that, what happened,
• 14:16
  gets better at what happened,
• 14:18
  and then moves on from that.
• 14:22
  Hopefully in a much better place.
• 14:24
  One large example is the NFL
• 14:26
  has been sued and lost a
• 14:29
  billions of dollars in
• 14:30
  concussion lawsuits.
• 14:34
  They've introduced eight new
• 14:36
  football helmets this year
• 14:37
  alone that are helping
• 14:39
  minimize concussions and
• 14:41
  the effects of CTE.
• 14:44
  This is something that they
• 14:45
  were forced into doing
• 14:47
  because of things that were happening,
• 14:49
  and a lawsuit was filed, they lost,
• 14:51
  and now that they are
• 14:52
  making things better.
• 14:55
  My hope is that CrossFit
• 14:57
  takes what happened,
• 14:59
  learns from that experience, gets better,
• 15:02
  and moves forward.
• 15:03
  Because the one thing that
• 15:04
  nobody is saying is,
• 15:06
  but I've talked to several athletes,
• 15:09
  there is no safer place to
• 15:10
  compete than the CrossFit Games.
• 15:13
  Did they mess up in this case?
• 15:15
  Sure they did.
• 15:17
  Something went wrong.
• 15:19
  But you talk to athletes who
• 15:21
  have been around the sport a long time,
• 15:24
  The rig setups are better
• 15:25
  than Waterpalooza.
• 15:26
  They're better than local comps.
• 15:29
  They're better than Dubai.
• 15:33
  Everything at the games is
• 15:35
  done at such a high level
• 15:36
  that it is truly the safest
• 15:38
  place athletes have felt when competing.
• 15:44
  And that's not my words.
• 15:46
  That's from other athletes
• 15:48
  I've spoken to who have said,
• 15:50
  when CrossFit is running the event,
• 15:52
  it just feels safer.
• 15:54
  Everything is done at a higher level.
• 15:57
  They messed up.
• 15:58
  They made a mistake.
• 15:59
  And they need to rectify
• 16:01
  that mistake and do better.
• 16:06
  But the truth of the matter is,
• 16:10
  I look at events that are
• 16:11
  going on even this weekend and think,
• 16:13
  oh my gosh.
• 16:16
  What are they thinking?
• 16:20
  I'm not going to call any names out,
• 16:22
  but I've heard things going
• 16:23
  on this weekend that were
• 16:25
  just shocking to me that
• 16:27
  would be allowed at a
• 16:28
  competition that would
• 16:29
  never happen at the CrossFit Games.
• 16:33
  Now, NorCal Classic,
• 16:35
  if you saw Hiller's Instagram,
• 16:37
  they have had enough people
• 16:38
  in the water to make sure
• 16:40
  that nothing like what
• 16:42
  happened in Fort Worth
• 16:43
  happens at the NorCal Classic.
• 16:46
  There are lifeguards everywhere.
• 16:49
  There are emergency
• 16:52
  personnel right on the shore,
• 16:55
  ready to act if needed.
• 17:02
  End of the story is, yes,
• 17:05
  CrossFit messed up.
• 17:06
  Yes, they need to fix it.
• 17:08
  It's not time to point fingers.
• 17:10
  It's not time to divide as a community.
• 17:12
  It's time to come together
• 17:14
  and give us a sport that is
• 17:18
  even safer than it was
• 17:19
  before and doesn't allow
• 17:21
  something like happened
• 17:22
  this year happen again.
• 17:26
  But dividing as a community
• 17:27
  is not the way to do it.
• 17:30
  We need to find a way to come together.
• 17:32
  And whatever that is,
• 17:33
  I don't know what the
• 17:34
  answer is off the top of my head,
• 17:36
  but we've got to find a way.
• 17:37
  Because right now,
• 17:38
  the community itself is split in half,
• 17:41
  and that's not going to solve anything.
• 17:45
  And we can't just hate on people to hate.
• 17:47
  We need to find out a solution,
• 17:50
  figure out how to do better, and move on.
• 17:55
  So that's what I have to say
• 17:56
  about that from that perspective.
• 18:00
  And now I'm going to dive
• 18:00
  into some other topics that
• 18:04
  are less CrossFit related.
• 18:07
  So the next thing I'm going
• 18:09
  to jump into is the Hope
• 18:11
  Solo documentary on Netflix.
• 18:13
  If you have not seen this,
• 18:15
  Hope Solo was a goalie for the U.S.
• 18:17
  women's national team.
• 18:19
  It is considered by some to
• 18:21
  be the greatest goalie in soccer history,
• 18:24
  not just women's soccer,
• 18:26
  but overall in soccer.
• 18:29
  There's a documentary on
• 18:30
  Netflix called Hope Solo
• 18:31
  versus USA Soccer,
• 18:33
  and it is part of their Untold series.
• 18:37
  I know that when documentaries get done,
• 18:40
  depending on the
• 18:41
  perspective of the subject
• 18:43
  and the director and the producer,
• 18:45
  that it can go in any direction.
• 18:48
  But the way this woman was
• 18:49
  treated in the late two
• 18:51
  thousands to late teens in
• 18:54
  this country was crazy.
• 18:58
  She was known for being very outspoken.
• 19:01
  And she spoke up when she
• 19:03
  didn't think things were correct.
• 19:06
  And for that, she got benched.
• 19:08
  She got suspended.
• 19:11
  And in most cases, in all cases,
• 19:14
  I would say,
• 19:15
  the things she said would not
• 19:17
  even be blinked at if it
• 19:18
  was said by a man.
• 19:20
  And yet, she gets the boot all the time.
• 19:24
  She gets suspended.
• 19:27
  And she was the first female
• 19:29
  soccer player to question their contract.
• 19:31
  and to question the
• 19:35
  the equity between men's and
• 19:36
  women's soccer in the U.S.
• 19:38
  And you have to remember
• 19:39
  from nineteen ninety nine
• 19:41
  to the mid two thousand
• 19:45
  fifteen two thousand teens,
• 19:48
  women's soccer was
• 19:49
  outdrawing men's soccer by a lot.
• 19:54
  And the women's team,
• 19:56
  their percentage of what
• 19:58
  the men got was probably.
• 20:02
  Ten percent, ten, fifteen percent, maybe.
• 20:14
  James W. says,
• 20:15
  I think we're conflating issues,
• 20:16
  backing up a touch.
• 20:18
  Who is to blame for the
• 20:19
  issues that led to Lazar's death?
• 20:20
  And Dave's handling of the
• 20:21
  events after the death are
• 20:23
  very different.
• 20:24
  Dave lied to the athletes
• 20:25
  and everyone after.
• 20:29
  I think that that's semantics,
• 20:31
  but I'm sure that there are
• 20:35
  going to be a lot of people
• 20:36
  that agree with you, James,
• 20:38
  and think that it was an outright lie.
• 20:43
  I think using the word
• 20:44
  blessing was a mistake.
• 20:47
  He should not have said that.
• 20:51
  I'm not sure I can go all the way to lie,
• 20:53
  but I do understand where
• 20:53
  you're coming from.
• 20:59
  So anyway, Hope Solo...
• 21:02
  pays dearly for a lot of
• 21:03
  things and is really the
• 21:05
  first female athlete to
• 21:07
  question the equal pay for
• 21:10
  men and women in soccer in
• 21:12
  a sport where the women
• 21:14
  were outdrawing the men and
• 21:16
  actually probably bringing
• 21:17
  in more money than the men.
• 21:20
  And she pays very dearly for that.
• 21:22
  And if you have time,
• 21:23
  it's a great documentary to
• 21:25
  kind of check out.
• 21:26
  The reason I bring it up
• 21:27
  here is it is very eerily
• 21:30
  familiar to the Danielle
• 21:33
  Brandon documentary.
• 21:35
  They both came up...
• 21:37
  with very weird,
• 21:39
  questionable backgrounds
• 21:42
  that I found eerily familiar.
• 21:46
  And they both succeeded in spite of that,
• 21:50
  both with four point oh GPAs,
• 21:52
  both becoming successes in
• 21:55
  the sport that they loved
• 21:56
  and getting college
• 21:57
  scholarships to be able to
• 21:59
  get a chance to get out of that.
• 22:11
  Sorry,
• 22:12
  allergies are really bad today here
• 22:13
  in Columbus.
• 22:15
  So the next topic I'm going
• 22:16
  to talk about is football
• 22:18
  season beginning.
• 22:19
  I'm a huge, huge football fan.
• 22:22
  I could not be more excited
• 22:24
  that football is back.
• 22:26
  I'm a bigger NFL fan than a college fan,
• 22:28
  but I am a Penn State fan.
• 22:31
  Today was Penn State looked
• 22:33
  like trash on defense,
• 22:35
  but their offense kept them in it,
• 22:37
  and they were able to pull
• 22:38
  out a win against Bowling Green.
• 22:40
  But I am a much bigger NFL fan.
• 22:44
  And the NFL has kicked off
• 22:45
  with two great games with
• 22:48
  the Chiefs and Ravens on Thursday night,
• 22:50
  the Eagles and Packers last night,
• 22:52
  the Chiefs-Ravens game
• 22:54
  coming down to a toe.
• 22:57
  on the back of the end zone
• 22:59
  at the end of their game,
• 23:00
  and the Ravens just missing
• 23:02
  that touchdown to possibly
• 23:03
  tie or go ahead.
• 23:05
  And the Eagles-Packers game
• 23:07
  almost came down to the end
• 23:08
  and a very bad injury that
• 23:10
  seems to be not so bad if
• 23:12
  reports are correct that
• 23:13
  I'm getting right now.
• 23:16
  Um,
• 23:16
  on Jordan love that he's going to be
• 23:18
  out three to four weeks
• 23:20
  with an MCL sprain.
• 23:21
  It looked like it could have
• 23:22
  been much worse than that.
• 23:24
  Uh, but that's, uh,
• 23:26
  that should be pretty
• 23:26
  optimistic for Packers fans,
• 23:29
  but I'm a bears fan.
• 23:30
  And so I hate the Packers.
• 23:31
  I was rooting against him last night.
• 23:34
  Uh,
• 23:34
  I'm super excited for this season
• 23:35
  because Chicago may have a
• 23:37
  quarter quarterback for the
• 23:38
  first time ever, uh,
• 23:40
  And I had a question in my
• 23:42
  head that I wanted to pose
• 23:44
  to the audience,
• 23:45
  and I'm curious what you think.
• 23:47
  Do you ever, in any sport,
• 23:50
  and your team is playing a rival,
• 23:52
  do you ever root for the
• 23:54
  other team to sustain an
• 23:56
  injury that will help you win games?
• 24:01
  Because last night as I'm
• 24:02
  watching the Eagles-Packers,
• 24:04
  I'm rooting mightily against the Packers.
• 24:08
  As a Bears fan, I hate the Packers.
• 24:10
  And at the very end of the game,
• 24:12
  Jordan Love suffers an injury.
• 24:14
  And as much as I hate the Packers,
• 24:18
  I hate seeing people get injured.
• 24:20
  I think it is...
• 24:26
  I don't know.
• 24:27
  I think it just crosses a
• 24:28
  line to root for that.
• 24:29
  But I was curious to find
• 24:30
  out if anybody else felt the same way,
• 24:34
  or do you root for injury
• 24:36
  to occur to your team that
• 24:39
  helps you win games?
• 24:43
  And just for shits and giggles,
• 24:45
  I'm going to make my Super
• 24:46
  Bowl pick and tell you that
• 24:48
  the forty niners and Ravens
• 24:50
  will play in this year's
• 24:51
  Super Bowl with the forty
• 24:52
  niners winning the game.
• 24:55
  And I don't like either one of those teams,
• 24:57
  but I just think that this
• 24:58
  is their year to do something there.
• 25:02
  I'm going to finish up with
• 25:04
  a little music thing and maybe, well,
• 25:09
  two more things.
• 25:11
  Music thing.
• 25:15
  If you've been in a CrossFit gym,
• 25:16
  you have heard the music of Linkin Park,
• 25:18
  I am sure.
• 25:20
  Linkin Park was a heavy
• 25:24
  rotation on my gym's
• 25:26
  playlist when we were
• 25:29
  really getting at it.
• 25:32
  Uh, Holly, I knew I liked you,
• 25:34
  Holly Dugan better to win
• 25:35
  against healthy teams the right way.
• 25:39
  Sure.
• 25:40
  I will go with that.
• 25:42
  And it means more when you get the win.
• 25:45
  Uh,
• 25:46
  so Lincoln park has announced that they
• 25:48
  are coming back with a new
• 25:51
  co-vocalist named Emily Armstrong.
• 25:54
  Uh,
• 25:54
  and they announced a world tour and an
• 25:56
  upcoming album to come out this fall.
• 26:01
  So my question is,
• 26:04
  because I'm a huge Linkin Park fan,
• 26:06
  I have a couple of their albums on vinyl.
• 26:08
  They played in our gym all the time.
• 26:10
  I still listen to them.
• 26:12
  I still crank it up when
• 26:13
  they come on the radio.
• 26:15
  If a band replaces a lead singer,
• 26:17
  is it really still the band?
• 26:21
  So if you don't know,
• 26:22
  Chester Bennington was the
• 26:23
  lead singer of Linkin Park.
• 26:26
  He died a few years ago.
• 26:28
  The band has not played since.
• 26:30
  They're now coming back with
• 26:31
  this new singer, Emily Armstrong.
• 26:38
  Should it still be Linkin Park?
• 26:41
  is my question.
• 26:44
  I can personally only think
• 26:45
  of two bands who have
• 26:46
  replaced lead singers and
• 26:48
  had success after,
• 26:50
  and that is Van Halen and Black Sabbath.
• 26:54
  Van Halen had David Lee Roth
• 26:56
  and Sammy Hagar.
• 26:58
  Black Sabbath had Ozzy
• 26:59
  Osbourne and Ronnie James Dio.
• 27:03
  But in both cases,
• 27:05
  many of the fandom believe
• 27:08
  that it was still kind of
• 27:09
  two separate bands.
• 27:11
  Like there is the Hagar era
• 27:14
  and the Roth era for Van Halen.
• 27:16
  There is the Ozzy and the
• 27:18
  Dio versions of Black Sabbath.
• 27:20
  And they're very different.
• 27:22
  And you can like both,
• 27:24
  but they were very
• 27:25
  different bands as... Andrew Sten,
• 27:27
  thank you.
• 27:28
  ACDC as well.
• 27:30
  acdc probably the most
• 27:32
  successful without people
• 27:35
  saying the bond scott era
• 27:38
  or the brian johnson era
• 27:40
  acdc did it probably the
• 27:42
  best of all of them now
• 27:44
  that you bring that up
• 27:48
  holly said it could work
• 27:50
  but it'll never be the same
• 27:51
  and they can't try to be
• 27:54
  So if you go out on the internet,
• 27:55
  you can see they did a, um,
• 27:57
  a live stream where they
• 27:58
  played a couple songs,
• 28:00
  one new song and a couple
• 28:02
  of the old songs,
• 28:03
  I believe numb and another
• 28:06
  song where she sang.
• 28:09
  Um, it's definitely not Chester.
• 28:11
  It's definitely not.
• 28:13
  Um,
• 28:14
  It wasn't bad, but it's different.
• 28:18
  And I'm just not sure.
• 28:21
  I'm not sure how I feel.
• 28:23
  But gosh,
• 28:24
  Andrew Sten just really put a big
• 28:25
  wrinkle in this with ACDC
• 28:27
  because they really made it work.
• 28:30
  ACDC never missed a beat.
• 28:33
  And I would say the same
• 28:34
  fans stayed with ACDC through both.
• 28:41
  Andrew says,
• 28:41
  I think it depends on how many
• 28:42
  original people are in the band.
• 28:44
  Some bands try to continue
• 28:45
  when less than half of the
• 28:47
  band are original.
• 28:48
  That's a great point.
• 28:50
  ACDC was pretty much the
• 28:51
  same band throughout.
• 28:53
  Van Halen and Sabbath were
• 28:55
  the same as well.
• 28:58
  And Linkin Park, everybody but the drummer,
• 29:01
  I think, is back and the lead singer.
• 29:10
  helped that the singers of
• 29:11
  acdc sounded the same I
• 29:13
  would say similar for sure
• 29:15
  uh there's definitely a
• 29:16
  different tone to both um
• 29:19
  but I appreciate both and I
• 29:21
  listen to both um and enjoy
• 29:25
  that so just wanted to
• 29:28
  that's what this show is
• 29:28
  going to be about it's just
• 29:29
  going to be random thoughts
• 29:30
  that I have and posing
• 29:32
  questions to you guys about
• 29:33
  different things that I'm
• 29:36
  seeing throughout my week
• 29:38
  The last thing I'm going to
• 29:39
  leave you with is the new
• 29:43
  fall shows aren't on.
• 29:44
  There's no new releases.
• 29:47
  And so I'm really watching
• 29:49
  two shows right now.
• 29:51
  And my question to you is
• 29:54
  going to be stream or binge?
• 29:57
  So I'm watching two shows.
• 29:58
  One is Suits on Netflix.
• 30:01
  All nine seasons are there.
• 30:03
  I can start from episode one
• 30:05
  and I can bang out five,
• 30:07
  six episodes a night if I wanted to.
• 30:10
  The other show I'm watching is Bad Monkey,
• 30:13
  which is great.
• 30:14
  Weird,
• 30:17
  but great with Vince Vaughn on Apple TV.
• 30:20
  And they release one episode a week,
• 30:23
  just like old traditional TV.
• 30:26
  So with Suits, I can binge, binge, binge.
• 30:30
  And then with Bad Monkey,
• 30:32
  I can watch one episode and
• 30:33
  then I have to stop and
• 30:34
  wait for the next one to come out.
• 30:37
  You as a consumer, what do you prefer?
• 30:41
  And do you think there's a
• 30:42
  better way of doing it?
• 30:44
  Either stream it for binge or...
• 30:48
  Or put it out one episode at
• 30:50
  a time and make you watch
• 30:51
  in the traditional way.
• 30:53
  I've heard the reason Apple TV does that.
• 30:56
  They did it with Ted Lasso.
• 30:57
  They're doing it with Bad Monkey.
• 30:59
  They do it with some of
• 30:59
  their other shows is that
• 31:01
  it keeps the conversation
• 31:02
  going on great shows longer than a week.
• 31:06
  So.
• 31:06
  So.
• 31:37
  But if you're not watching Bad Monkey,
• 31:38
  I'm going to finish up with this.
• 31:44
  Holly,
• 31:44
  I remember it better streaming each week.
• 31:52
  Bad Monkey is really good if
• 31:54
  you're not watching it.
• 31:55
  It's a Vince Vaughn show on Netflix.
• 31:58
  It's a quirky show that
• 31:59
  takes place in the Florida Keys.
• 32:02
  He is a former detective
• 32:04
  trying to get his way back
• 32:06
  into the police department.
• 32:09
  and back into being an
• 32:12
  active duty policeman or
• 32:13
  detective and kind of a
• 32:17
  murder happens ish.
• 32:19
  And he's kind of thrown in
• 32:21
  the middle of it to try to figure out.
• 32:23
  And,
• 32:24
  and so that's what we're following is
• 32:28
  him trying to figure out this, this,
• 32:32
  this mystery and,
• 32:34
  The best part of the show is the narrator.
• 32:37
  There's a narrator over the
• 32:38
  top of it that talks about
• 32:40
  what's going on as it's happening,
• 32:43
  and he makes the entire show.
• 32:45
  I would call it a dark comedy.
• 32:49
  There are some really funny moments,
• 32:51
  but it is about a murder and people dying,
• 32:54
  and so it is probably more
• 32:57
  of a dark comedy.
• 33:00
  Clock says my vote doesn't count.
• 33:02
  I steal everything from the pirate sites.
• 33:06
  Well, there you go.
• 33:07
  That's one way to do it.
• 33:09
  So when you do that clock, can you binge?
• 33:12
  Like,
• 33:13
  if you're stealing something from Apple,
• 33:15
  can you get the episodes
• 33:16
  before they're released?
• 33:18
  Or do you have to wait till
• 33:19
  they're all released?
• 33:26
  I have to say, like,
• 33:27
  I do have a site that I use for sports.
• 33:33
  to be able to watch the
• 33:35
  Chicago Bears because I
• 33:37
  don't live in Chicago.
• 33:44
  But I'm just curious.
• 33:45
  I've never used those for TV or movies,
• 33:49
  but I know people who have,
• 33:51
  and I've had much success with it.
• 33:52
  I just didn't know how the
• 33:53
  episodes worked.
• 33:56
  Does it have to be active
• 33:57
  for you to be able to get it?
• 34:02
  Okay.
• 34:03
  I have binged,
• 34:04
  but of course you have to
• 34:05
  wait until everything's published.
• 34:06
  If we're currently running series,
• 34:08
  I watch week to week.
• 34:09
  Okay.
• 34:10
  So just like us,
• 34:11
  you're stuck in the same hole we are.
• 34:17
  Well, cool.
• 34:18
  Well, again, this is a new show.
• 34:21
  Make sure you like,
• 34:22
  subscribe to the channel, and notify.
• 34:25
  Right now,
• 34:26
  I don't have a plan for a
• 34:28
  certain time these are going to come on.
• 34:30
  This is just when I have
• 34:30
  something I want to say
• 34:32
  about different subjects
• 34:33
  that are going on.
• 34:35
  I felt like this week with
• 34:36
  everything going on and the
• 34:38
  internet blowing up over
• 34:39
  the CrossFit thing,
• 34:41
  I didn't have an avenue for
• 34:43
  me just to come on here and
• 34:45
  talk about what I was thinking.
• 34:48
  and talk to you guys as an
• 34:49
  audience and get your reaction to that?
• 34:53
  Or do I just get sucked into
• 34:54
  the internet and all that it is?
• 34:57
  So that's what this is
• 34:59
  designed for so that I can
• 35:00
  pop on at any time and do
• 35:02
  one of these and just talk
• 35:04
  about what's going on.
• 35:05
  It could be ten minutes long.
• 35:07
  It could be an hour long.
• 35:08
  I don't know.
• 35:10
  But I wanted to try it.
• 35:13
  Maybe we'll hook up the
• 35:14
  phone for this show and
• 35:16
  I'll put out the phone
• 35:18
  number that you guys can
• 35:20
  call in and participate.
• 35:26
  So I don't have to do all the talking.
• 35:29
  But yeah, that's what this is.
• 35:32
  It's just going to be this.
• 35:33
  It's going to be my stream
• 35:34
  of consciousness.
• 35:38
  And we'll talk about
• 35:39
  whatever is in this brain of mine.
• 35:43
  Clark says, for example,
• 35:44
  I binge the Sopranos.
• 35:51
  For example,
• 35:51
  I binge the Sopranos a long time ago,
• 35:53
  but I felt my soul turning
• 35:54
  dark and never got past season six.
• 36:00
  I thought there was only six
• 36:00
  seasons of the Sopranos.
• 36:06
  I've seen all the Sopranos.
• 36:10
  The longer it goes,
• 36:11
  the worse I thought it got as a show.
• 36:16
  And the ending was atrocious.
• 36:19
  I'll never understand the ending.
• 36:21
  No matter how many times
• 36:23
  they try to explain it to me,
• 36:25
  the ending is just atrocious.
• 36:28
  But the first season of
• 36:29
  Sopranos is some of the
• 36:30
  best TV I've ever watched.
• 36:34
  When his mother is still alive,
• 36:36
  it is insanely good.
• 36:45
  But anyway,
• 36:47
  and I've watched it a few times through.
• 36:53
  Yeah, first few seasons are dazzling.
• 36:55
  They are.
• 36:56
  First couple seasons of
• 36:57
  Sopranos are so good.
• 36:58
  So good.
• 37:00
  And then I was living that live.
• 37:03
  I was watching it as it was
• 37:04
  coming out on HBO.
• 37:06
  And you'd have to wait
• 37:08
  freaking years for the next season.
• 37:10
  And I think with all that stuff happening,
• 37:13
  it just got out over its
• 37:15
  skis and went to places it
• 37:19
  shouldn't have went.
• 37:24
  Holly says, Carolyn's IV story yesterday.
• 37:26
  Is she doing okay?
• 37:27
  Do you know?
• 37:28
  She's doing fine.
• 37:31
  I talked to Lex a little bit yesterday.
• 37:34
  I'm sure Carolyn will be on
• 37:36
  tomorrow night with our
• 37:37
  normal show to fill you in
• 37:39
  as to what happened.
• 37:40
  But yeah, she's doing okay.
• 37:52
  Okay.
• 37:54
  So yeah, that's that.
• 37:56
  That's what this show is going to be.
• 37:57
  If you guys have any topics
• 37:59
  you want to talk about to throw out there,
• 38:01
  shoot them at me.
• 38:02
  Again, it can be about anything.
• 38:07
  We can talk about anything.
• 38:08
  Movies, TV, CrossFit, sports, baseball.
• 38:13
  If I know about it, I will talk about it.
• 38:17
  Um,
• 38:18
  but thank you everybody for
• 38:20
  participating.
• 38:21
  Uh, this was fun.
• 38:22
  That's what this is supposed to be about.
• 38:23
  It's supposed to be an
• 38:24
  audience engagement show
• 38:26
  where we just kind of talk
• 38:27
  about the stuff that's
• 38:28
  going on and we'll still
• 38:29
  have our normal shows.
• 38:31
  So the round table on
• 38:32
  Tuesdays still have a cross Sunday night,
• 38:35
  CrossFit talk tomorrow night, uh,
• 38:37
  Sunday night.
• 38:39
  With that, tomorrow,
• 38:41
  my Bears take the field for
• 38:42
  the first time this year.
• 38:43
  I could not be more stoked.
• 38:45
  I don't know if I'm even
• 38:46
  going to sleep tonight.
• 38:48
  I love Chicago Bear football
• 38:51
  as much as I love anything.
• 38:52
  CrossFit, Chicago Bear football.
• 38:54
  Those are my two loves, and my wife,
• 38:57
  and my daughter.
• 38:58
  Yeah, those two.
• 38:59
  But those are the loves of my life,
• 39:01
  and Chicago Bear football
• 39:02
  happens tomorrow,
• 39:03
  and I cannot be any more excited.
• 39:06
  So I am sure that that will
• 39:08
  be some of the subject
• 39:09
  matter as we go through this year.
• 39:12
  With that, Lynn,
• 39:13
  so glad you could join us.
• 39:14
  Hope it was not too late and
• 39:16
  you got the gist of what
• 39:17
  we're trying to do here.
• 39:18
  But just trying to have some fun,
• 39:21
  talk about stuff that's
• 39:22
  going on in a safe environment.
• 39:24
  With that, we'll see everybody next time.
• 39:27
  And, hey, check us out tomorrow night,
• 39:28
  Sunday Night CrossFit Talk.
• 39:30
  Don't forget to jump on.
• 39:32
  We'll talk about NorCal Classic.
• 39:33
  We'll talk about all the
• 39:35
  stuff I just talked about with the –
• 39:38
  Luca letter, the Dave Castro apology,
• 39:42
  the CrossFit email,
• 39:43
  and the fallout from all that.
• 39:45
  With that, we'll see everybody next time.
• 39:48
  Bye, guys.
