  What is going on, everybody?
• 0:29
  Welcome to the Scott and Amy show.
• 0:32
  Or as you like to call it,
• 0:34
  the Amy and Scott show.
• 0:35
  Yeah.
• 0:36
  Yeah.
• 0:37
  Just like at home.
• 0:40
  Yeah.
• 0:40
  Yep.
• 0:40
  You have a couple of those.
• 0:41
  I do.
• 0:42
  You have the British version
• 0:44
  and the American version.
• 0:45
  Yeah.
• 0:45
  Yep.
• 0:46
  Yep.
• 0:46
  I do.
• 0:48
  So I guess I need to talk like this.
• 0:50
  I don't mind if I hear
• 0:51
  somebody talking like that,
• 0:52
  I accidentally pick it up
• 0:53
  and it's not as a mean of disrespect.
• 0:55
  It's more of I'm fascinated by it.
• 0:59
  Yeah, I actually had our old neighbor who
• 1:04
  was on vacation and was
• 1:06
  talking in the accent and
• 1:07
  found out he was actually
• 1:08
  talking to a real British
• 1:10
  person and then had to make the decision,
• 1:13
  do I keep holding the
• 1:15
  accent or do I just admit it?
• 1:17
  They know.
• 1:20
  And he tried to get away
• 1:22
  with it for the whole thing.
• 1:23
  It's like,
• 1:24
  I've passed the point of return.
• 1:25
  I have to keep rolling with it.
• 1:30
  I'm in deep and I'm gonna
• 1:31
  see how long I can keep
• 1:33
  going yeah water tread yeah
• 1:37
  so uh what's been up with
• 1:39
  you well I had that comp
• 1:42
  this weekend oh yeah yeah
• 1:44
  yeah I've never wanted to
• 1:47
  quit so bad in my life or
• 1:52
  or my usual remember my
• 1:53
  comment of if you're if
• 1:55
  something's rough what should you do
• 1:58
  Tell yourself you can do hard things.
• 1:59
  No, I mean, I did do that,
• 2:00
  but fake an injury.
• 2:01
  Oh yes.
• 2:04
  You're going to lose.
• 2:05
  If you know you're losing,
• 2:06
  just fake an injury, get out of it.
• 2:08
  I wanted to fake an injury or just quit,
• 2:11
  but I didn't because I can do hard things,
• 2:13
  but I, it was gross.
• 2:17
  It was essentially like,
• 2:19
  so it was just one workout
• 2:20
  right after another with
• 2:21
  very little transition time,
• 2:23
  which I do like.
• 2:25
  But the volume and the
• 2:28
  amount of stuff we were doing,
• 2:29
  there was like no recovery
• 2:32
  time that it felt like I
• 2:33
  was doing an hour and a half chipper.
• 2:36
  And so that was, that was rough.
• 2:39
  I'm wearing makeup today.
• 2:41
  Wads on me.
• 2:41
  That's why that's happening.
• 2:44
  Most of the time you see me makeup free.
• 2:48
  I need to teach you all that
• 2:49
  when there's a comment you're reacting to,
• 2:51
  you need to pull it up.
• 2:52
  Otherwise it just looks like
• 2:53
  you're yelling at the screen.
• 2:55
  okay thank you for your for
• 2:58
  your your heads up it would
• 3:00
  happen um with carolyn and
• 3:01
  jamie on thursday night
• 3:03
  yeah just yelling at people
• 3:04
  like in the comments and
• 3:05
  I'm like guys you got to
• 3:06
  like pull up the comment or
• 3:08
  do you just look like
• 3:09
  you're yelling at the
• 3:10
  screen got it I will do
• 3:11
  that next time my bad uh he
• 3:16
  said today but you're
• 3:17
  always glowing well thank
• 3:18
  you I appreciate that um
• 3:22
  So it's funny.
• 3:24
  Cause when I remember when
• 3:25
  we were watching the Titan games, yeah.
• 3:28
  Like when a text string and you were like,
• 3:30
  if I'm losing that bad,
• 3:31
  I'm faking an injury.
• 3:32
  A hundred percent fake it.
• 3:35
  And then I,
• 3:36
  the last comp I ever did was at
• 3:38
  the gym where you did the comp.
• 3:40
  Okay.
• 3:42
  And it was the same way.
• 3:43
  It was one workout right after another,
• 3:46
  by the last workout,
• 3:47
  I didn't even give a shit.
• 3:48
  No, I just wanted it to be over.
• 3:52
  I, I mean,
• 3:54
  there were so many times I would
• 3:55
  finish the workout and then
• 3:56
  just roll over on the
• 3:57
  ground and to the fetal position.
• 3:59
  And I had to keep going
• 4:02
  because I had a team, which was fine,
• 4:04
  but yeah,
• 4:05
  I was with cat and Ingrid and not,
• 4:08
  not this cat.
• 4:10
  Okay.
• 4:10
  Yeah.
• 4:11
  But shred cat and Ingrid.
• 4:13
  Yeah.
• 4:14
  And, and Mike.
• 4:17
  Oh yeah.
• 4:19
  and yeah and kat is a drill
• 4:22
  sergeant she is to the nth
• 4:24
  degree more so than me
• 4:26
  ingrid can't remember the
• 4:27
  workout halfway into it and
• 4:30
  mike we're just worried
• 4:31
  about his back yeah yeah
• 4:33
  yeah yeah so it was it was
• 4:35
  uh quite the mash unit of uh
• 4:39
  guys that and if I don't
• 4:41
  even know if you remember
• 4:41
  like if anybody missed the
• 4:43
  lift it was a shouldered
• 4:45
  overhead off the rack yeah
• 4:47
  and nobody could lift the
• 4:49
  bar but me so I had to lift
• 4:50
  everybody's bar back up
• 4:51
  onto the rack for the
• 4:53
  entire like first part of
• 4:54
  the competition and then I
• 4:56
  and then I was the one
• 4:57
  doing the most so at the
• 4:58
  end it's just me and it hit
• 5:00
  a point where I couldn't
• 5:01
  clean it anymore yeah I mean it just yeah
• 5:06
  Interesting, though,
• 5:07
  was one thing I love about
• 5:09
  this comp is they do such a great job.
• 5:11
  Like it is organized.
• 5:12
  Like they said we would
• 5:13
  start at 245 and they said
• 5:15
  you would be done at this time.
• 5:17
  And gosh darn it, we were on the minute.
• 5:22
  So they really had it laid
• 5:23
  out really nice as far as that.
• 5:26
  I don't always appreciate
• 5:27
  the programming because like I said,
• 5:30
  listen to this one, one of the workouts.
• 5:32
  I built this up to be so bad
• 5:34
  in my head that it actually
• 5:36
  ended up being my favorite workout.
• 5:38
  Okay.
• 5:39
  But it was, um, so it's teams of three, um,
• 5:43
  partner a does 400 meter
• 5:45
  run comes in and does 20
• 5:47
  front squats at 95 pounds
• 5:50
  and then 14 calories on the echo bike.
• 5:54
  Okay.
• 5:55
  Okay.
• 5:55
  So each partner has
• 5:56
  basically their own section,
• 5:57
  but different weights on the bar.
• 5:59
  And so I had the middle weight.
• 6:01
  So I did 400 meter run,
• 6:03
  105 pound front squats, and then, um,
• 6:06
  the echo bike.
• 6:07
  So in my mind, I was like,
• 6:10
  this is going to be so terrible.
• 6:12
  And I mean,
• 6:13
  I was definitely in a dark
• 6:14
  place in the middle of that workout,
• 6:15
  but I, afterwards I was like, okay,
• 6:17
  I had built that up so bad
• 6:19
  that it wasn't as bad as I thought.
• 6:21
  Yeah.
• 6:22
  Yeah.
• 6:24
  Yeah.
• 6:26
  We did, what,
• 6:27
  four ways of Fran the year I did it?
• 6:30
  Yeah.
• 6:32
  And that one is the one I
• 6:33
  built up in my head to be so bad.
• 6:34
  Yeah.
• 6:36
  And it really was.
• 6:37
  Yeah.
• 6:38
  Oh yeah.
• 6:38
  This was the part I also wanted to,
• 6:40
  was going to say,
• 6:40
  so somebody on the winning team.
• 6:42
  Oh, so this, this workout,
• 6:44
  this comp was generations.
• 6:45
  So you have to have somebody
• 6:47
  born in different decades in it.
• 6:50
  But the winning team turns
• 6:52
  out is actually somebody
• 6:54
  who trains with underdog athletics.
• 6:57
  Oh, wow.
• 6:58
  And I will find that name to
• 7:00
  you and send that to you
• 7:01
  when I can find it.
• 7:03
  But I just all of a sudden
• 7:04
  popped in my head and remembered that.
• 7:07
  Well, speaking of which,
• 7:09
  because of everything
• 7:10
  that's happened with media
• 7:13
  approvals for media
• 7:18
  approvals for us in
• 7:19
  semifinals and all that kind of fiasco,
• 7:22
  I thought about like
• 7:24
  allocating my resources to
• 7:26
  go visit Justin and hang
• 7:29
  out with underdogs for a
• 7:30
  couple of days rather than
• 7:31
  go to semifinals as they're
• 7:32
  getting ready for the games
• 7:34
  and just kind of sitting
• 7:35
  and talking to everybody.
• 7:36
  Yeah, for sure.
• 7:40
  Um, Dave Hardy's asking your comp,
• 7:42
  was it a BOA battle of the ages?
• 7:46
  Um, I, I think they used to call it that,
• 7:49
  but they've now call it
• 7:50
  like a generations thing.
• 7:52
  Yeah.
• 7:52
  It's just called generations.
• 7:54
  Um, but it was,
• 7:56
  it was called generations at friendship,
• 7:58
  CrossFit or friendship fitness.
• 8:01
  They're not CrossFit anymore.
• 8:03
  It's hard to say that the two F's.
• 8:05
  Yeah.
• 8:06
  But yeah.
• 8:09
  Wad Zombie says that's a good idea.
• 8:10
  Nobody else is really doing that.
• 8:13
  And your first score is they do.
• 8:15
  It's called the wisdom score.
• 8:16
  So they take all your ages and combine it.
• 8:19
  So the highest wisdom score is that,
• 8:21
  you know, the winner.
• 8:24
  That's just one kind of event.
• 8:27
  Yeah.
• 8:27
  So if you bring in a bunch of old people,
• 8:30
  the more fit old people.
• 8:32
  fit old people, but the older you are,
• 8:34
  the higher you've placed in
• 8:36
  that first event.
• 8:37
  And then, you know,
• 8:39
  they've got to be fit
• 8:40
  enough to kind of hang for
• 8:41
  the rest of the event as well.
• 8:42
  Yeah.
• 8:44
  I don't know if it,
• 8:46
  what wad zombie is asking
• 8:47
  if it's cheaper.
• 8:48
  I don't know what you mean by,
• 8:49
  is it cheaper than what
• 8:50
  battle of the ages?
• 8:52
  Going to underdogs,
• 8:53
  I think is what he's asking
• 8:55
  instead of going to semifinals.
• 8:56
  Oh, got it.
• 8:57
  Okay.
• 8:57
  Sorry.
• 8:57
  It is way cheaper.
• 8:58
  Getting a flight from
• 8:59
  Columbus to Vegas is very easy.
• 9:04
  getting a flight from
• 9:05
  Columbus to LA not so easy
• 9:12
  yeah yeah they they run
• 9:15
  like cheap flights to Vegas
• 9:17
  all the time out of here oh
• 9:18
  yeah for sure so it would
• 9:22
  be much much less uh to go to Vegas but
• 9:27
  And I could get my wife on
• 9:29
  board to go hang out at a pool in Vegas.
• 9:32
  Well, to gamble,
• 9:33
  I guarantee your wife would
• 9:34
  be all about gambling.
• 9:35
  Yeah.
• 9:37
  I hated it.
• 9:38
  I hated the gambling thing.
• 9:41
  Yeah.
• 9:41
  I thought I would love it.
• 9:42
  I thought I really would.
• 9:43
  And I just didn't.
• 9:44
  Well, that's probably good because it's,
• 9:46
  it can be very addictive.
• 9:47
  Yeah.
• 9:49
  Speaking of underdogs, announcement today,
• 9:52
  Sarah Sigmundsdottir,
• 9:53
  one of the underdogs crew,
• 9:55
  announced today that she is
• 9:56
  not competing at semifinals.
• 9:58
  Yes.
• 10:00
  She made a post on Instagram
• 10:01
  this morning and also
• 10:02
  appeared on the Sevan
• 10:03
  podcast with Justin.
• 10:06
  to explain the reason behind that.
• 10:08
  If you didn't hear it,
• 10:09
  she announced that she has
• 10:11
  reactive arthritis,
• 10:13
  an autoimmune disorder,
• 10:14
  and it all stemmed from an
• 10:17
  infection she got from a box jump.
• 10:20
  Yeah.
• 10:20
  And she said that she'd let
• 10:21
  it like kind of simmer too long,
• 10:24
  but that's because she
• 10:25
  wasn't having problems.
• 10:26
  And then that infection then
• 10:28
  was the catapult to the rest of the
• 10:31
  So the story she told on
• 10:32
  Siobhan was more like the
• 10:34
  doctors let it simmer.
• 10:36
  Okay.
• 10:39
  Because nobody really knew what it was.
• 10:42
  And then three months after the infection,
• 10:44
  they had to drain it.
• 10:47
  it was really bad and then
• 10:49
  that compromised her immune
• 10:51
  system and they just can't
• 10:54
  get it figured out and put
• 10:55
  back into place but that
• 10:56
  happened in 2020. so all
• 10:59
  the stuff that's been
• 11:00
  happening for the last four
• 11:01
  years leads back to that
• 11:05
  and it makes sense why her
• 11:07
  acl you know didn't take like the
• 11:11
  the repair the graph because
• 11:13
  if she had this you know
• 11:15
  autoimmune thing of course
• 11:16
  it's not gonna you know
• 11:20
  what I learned today is
• 11:21
  justin suffers from an
• 11:23
  autoimmune disorder has
• 11:24
  since he was 17 and that's
• 11:27
  the reason she went with
• 11:28
  underdogs because when she
• 11:29
  had her attack at semis
• 11:32
  last year justin was there
• 11:35
  and could talk her through
• 11:37
  and had felt some of the
• 11:38
  same things she had felt, um,
• 11:41
  because of how it makes you
• 11:43
  sick and how you don't feel right.
• 11:45
  And I guess Justin is still
• 11:51
  dealing with it today
• 11:52
  because of all the meds he
• 11:53
  had to take when he was younger.
• 11:55
  Okay.
• 11:57
  Got it.
• 11:59
  So that was like a big part
• 12:01
  of why she went with underdogs and Justin,
• 12:03
  because he does understand.
• 12:05
  Um,
• 12:07
  You already follow this person.
• 12:10
  I do.
• 12:11
  Emily Nussbaum.
• 12:16
  Sounds very familiar.
• 12:16
  Yeah.
• 12:18
  Yeah.
• 12:18
  Yeah.
• 12:18
  Yeah.
• 12:19
  Yeah.
• 12:19
  Yeah.
• 12:20
  I talked to her.
• 12:21
  She was,
• 12:21
  she went to semifinals a couple of
• 12:23
  years ago.
• 12:23
  Okay.
• 12:24
  Yeah.
• 12:24
  Yeah.
• 12:27
  Yeah.
• 12:29
  I met her at a Mac in 21.
• 12:34
  Yeah, okay.
• 12:36
  Well, I mean, when they're, you know,
• 12:37
  this is basically a rec comp.
• 12:38
  And when you see that certain athletes,
• 12:40
  you're like, um, yeah,
• 12:44
  that's not the same as this, you know.
• 12:47
  But so anyway, so I was, I saw their gym.
• 12:49
  And so I was looking up their gym.
• 12:51
  And then I was like, Oh, underdogs.
• 12:53
  Like, okay, you know,
• 12:54
  and then that caught my attention.
• 12:56
  So
• 12:57
  funny we had we had the
• 12:58
  organizers from fight for
• 12:59
  the fittest on sunday night
• 13:03
  and they were telling us
• 13:04
  they actually vet all the
• 13:06
  athletes so that people
• 13:08
  don't compete down they
• 13:11
  don't yeah yeah because
• 13:13
  they're like that can just
• 13:14
  ruin a competition for sure
• 13:18
  And so he goes out on their Instagram.
• 13:20
  He looks at their posts.
• 13:21
  He looks at their scores
• 13:23
  from the games before he
• 13:26
  allows them to move on,
• 13:28
  which I thought was really cool.
• 13:30
  Yeah,
• 13:30
  and I wasn't mentioning that because
• 13:31
  I had a problem with that.
• 13:33
  This was just a fun competition,
• 13:35
  but it was just like,
• 13:36
  you can tell when there's
• 13:37
  people that are like, you're like,
• 13:40
  they're really taking this
• 13:41
  warmup seriously.
• 13:42
  I'm just over here,
• 13:44
  jabbing my jaws and just
• 13:46
  doing a little stretch, so.
• 13:49
  yeah yeah she was she's
• 13:52
  really strong if I remember
• 13:53
  right really strong um but
• 13:57
  yeah um age groups went on
• 13:59
  this weekend uh I went and
• 14:01
  watched rudy do three of
• 14:02
  the four workouts yeah he's
• 14:04
  in second right now he is
• 14:06
  and man what watching him
• 14:08
  do it it's not even real
• 14:10
  it's not like it just doesn't yeah
• 14:13
  And I feel like I know that
• 14:14
  there's a crowd there.
• 14:15
  Cause I've gone and watched him.
• 14:17
  Like there's a crowd in his
• 14:18
  gym and cheering and all that,
• 14:19
  but it's also,
• 14:20
  do you notice it's also
• 14:21
  like eerily quiet at the same time?
• 14:24
  Well, I think they,
• 14:25
  that's how they want it.
• 14:27
  Yeah.
• 14:27
  But I'm just saying like, it's interesting,
• 14:29
  like that there's this crowd,
• 14:30
  but then you're watching
• 14:31
  and it's just more like, wow,
• 14:34
  this is kind of amazing that it's so it's,
• 14:37
  you know, deafening.
• 14:39
  and then when when lynette
• 14:41
  turns to like give them the
• 14:42
  signal like now it's go
• 14:43
  time yeah and then the
• 14:45
  crowd erupts right I love
• 14:47
  it I love her uh her
• 14:48
  leadership yeah um but our
• 14:52
  man corey who's in the chat
• 14:53
  he competed this weekend
• 14:55
  yeah um he told us on
• 14:57
  sunday that uh he got
• 14:59
  plantar fasciitis during semifinals
• 15:03
  And I think his exact words were,
• 15:05
  after the double under box jump workout,
• 15:08
  he looked like Tiny Tim
• 15:11
  trying to walk across the gym floor.
• 15:17
  I was a little bit surprised
• 15:18
  by the workouts.
• 15:21
  Surprised?
• 15:22
  You mean you didn't get the leak?
• 15:24
  Well, I'm just...
• 15:29
  I mean, nothing super heavy.
• 15:30
  I mean, the snatch one was heavy,
• 15:33
  but nothing crazy heavy.
• 15:37
  You know what I mean?
• 15:38
  I think when you get...
• 15:41
  I'm glad they're going away
• 15:42
  from one rep maxes on
• 15:45
  online competitions.
• 15:47
  I think they skew things too much.
• 15:49
  But if you look at the
• 15:51
  leaderboard from the snatch workout,
• 15:53
  there are big chunks of
• 15:54
  people who stop at each barbell weight.
• 15:59
  And they would go in top 200.
• 16:01
  So it's not just the top 30
• 16:03
  like it was last year.
• 16:04
  And I do think you have to
• 16:06
  kind of scale it back.
• 16:08
  Okay.
• 16:08
  A bit, right?
• 16:09
  Okay.
• 16:10
  Yeah.
• 16:10
  Okay.
• 16:11
  That makes me that I can see that.
• 16:13
  But like Jamie, for instance,
• 16:15
  could not do the one 55
• 16:16
  pound snatch with her torn labrum.
• 16:19
  So, but there were,
• 16:20
  she tied with 58 people at that barbell.
• 16:25
  Okay.
• 16:26
  So then the tiebreaker time
• 16:27
  of getting there was the big factor.
• 16:30
  Okay.
• 16:32
  Yeah.
• 16:34
  So I think that that's appropriate.
• 16:36
  I think Corey stopped at the bar,
• 16:38
  but like he didn't get to
• 16:39
  the final bar either on that workout.
• 16:41
  Okay.
• 16:43
  So,
• 16:43
  so I do think it was heavy enough for a
• 16:45
  lot of the athletes.
• 16:47
  You're just super strong.
• 16:49
  So like you just blow through it all.
• 16:53
  Not at all.
• 16:54
  I just was, I, I, yeah, I guess I just,
• 16:58
  I was looking at, you know,
• 16:59
  just like even the thruster one.
• 17:00
  And I was like, Oh wow, I could do that.
• 17:02
  You know, like,
• 17:04
  yeah so I think that's more
• 17:05
  I was expecting it to be
• 17:08
  you know like each kind of
• 17:09
  level is going to be more
• 17:10
  and more elevated and so I
• 17:12
  was just like oh okay I
• 17:13
  feel like I could do
• 17:13
  actually all of it all of
• 17:15
  these um so I wasn't just
• 17:21
  the guns yeah I don't think
• 17:22
  you can handle it and and I
• 17:23
  was wrong apparently uh
• 17:25
  cory did finish that one
• 17:29
  But I know it was close to his PR.
• 17:31
  Like he was hitting weights
• 17:34
  like really close to his PR
• 17:35
  at the end of that.
• 17:37
  Yeah.
• 17:40
  Yikes.
• 17:41
  So,
• 17:43
  but the other thing about the thruster
• 17:45
  workout,
• 17:46
  I think what they wanted is you
• 17:48
  had to go unbroken on that 30 thruster.
• 17:51
  If you wanted to compete and
• 17:53
  be in the top.
• 17:56
  Or fake an injury.
• 17:58
  Or fake an injury.
• 18:00
  Yeah.
• 18:01
  I'm just kidding.
• 18:01
  I would never really
• 18:02
  recommend anybody do that.
• 18:04
  Just if you want to get out
• 18:04
  of a situation because
• 18:06
  you're really losing.
• 18:09
  So about that,
• 18:10
  I don't know if you saw the Hiller video.
• 18:12
  Jason Grubb did like a tips and tricks.
• 18:14
  Okay.
• 18:15
  And he's like,
• 18:17
  I know people are going to
• 18:17
  try to hold on to that one,
• 18:19
  that last 30 thrusters,
• 18:21
  but I don't think I will.
• 18:22
  I'm just going to like take good sets,
• 18:26
  blah, blah, blah.
• 18:27
  And of course he went 30 unbroken.
• 18:29
  So like,
• 18:30
  do you listen to the guy you're
• 18:32
  competing with give tips and tricks?
• 18:35
  Mm-hmm.
• 18:36
  Or do you ignore him because he has a,
• 18:38
  a bias to what that he wants to win?
• 18:45
  I mean, I also though always have plans.
• 18:49
  And then as soon as I get in there,
• 18:50
  my plans go out.
• 18:51
  Cause I'll be like, oh, this feels good.
• 18:52
  So I could see him saying, oh, you sets.
• 18:55
  And then, then him getting in there being,
• 18:57
  wait a minute.
• 18:57
  I can hold on.
• 18:59
  Yeah.
• 19:01
  Yeah.
• 19:02
  I think,
• 19:02
  I think what's really interesting
• 19:03
  is how much video review
• 19:05
  are we doing on these this year?
• 19:06
  Because I think in the past
• 19:08
  it's been very cursory.
• 19:09
  But Corey said before we
• 19:11
  even got on the air in the
• 19:12
  chat that he's already
• 19:14
  moved up a spot and it's
• 19:15
  only been 12 hours.
• 19:18
  And we need a spot for the 35, 39 males.
• 19:21
  So our boy Dex.
• 19:24
  Dex is out by one point.
• 19:27
  Yeah.
• 19:27
  Yeah.
• 19:28
  I don't know if you'll be
• 19:30
  able to see the text message he sent me.
• 19:33
  He's 41th.
• 19:34
  41st?
• 19:36
  41st by one point.
• 19:39
  He said 41th.
• 19:40
  41th.
• 19:40
  That's the new English.
• 19:42
  41th.
• 19:44
  So I sent him a text that said,
• 19:47
  one point dude with question marks.
• 19:50
  And he wrote, asterisk goes to F himself.
• 20:00
  Yep, 41th.
• 20:02
  Please say that for the rest of the day,
• 20:03
  guys.
• 20:03
  Yeah.
• 20:05
  You know what?
• 20:06
  Speaking of Elise,
• 20:07
  so she says those kids have
• 20:09
  my brain fried.
• 20:09
  The truth of the matter is
• 20:13
  this week is my last week
• 20:14
  of school for the summer.
• 20:18
  And because of that,
• 20:19
  my brain does 100% get
• 20:22
  fried because I'm a teacher,
• 20:24
  but also one of the program directors.
• 20:26
  So I'm also like busy closing up shop.
• 20:30
  So it's like every thing is
• 20:33
  happening all at once.
• 20:35
  So yeah, 41th.
• 20:37
  41th.
• 20:41
  It sounds good to me.
• 20:42
  Yeah, it's going to be a thing now, guys.
• 20:43
  I made it one.
• 20:47
  I did get some good news.
• 20:48
  I'm getting my physical tomorrow.
• 20:50
  Okay.
• 20:50
  I saw your A1 scores were down.
• 20:53
  I got my blood work.
• 20:54
  I had got blood drawn yesterday.
• 20:56
  The tests are trickling in.
• 20:57
  Okay.
• 20:59
  And my A1C came back,
• 21:01
  has dropped from 10.8 to
• 21:03
  where I was in the ICU in February.
• 21:06
  Yeah.
• 21:08
  To 7.3.
• 21:10
  So still got some work to do,
• 21:12
  but definitely a huge drop.
• 21:14
  Now I'm curious with you
• 21:16
  because it's been all over
• 21:17
  the news now stuff too.
• 21:19
  Have they ever talked to you
• 21:20
  about doing the Ozempic or
• 21:21
  the alternative Ozempic?
• 21:24
  They have not.
• 21:27
  Okay.
• 21:28
  Like when I go to the doctor,
• 21:29
  I'm very much, I don't want pills.
• 21:32
  I don't want,
• 21:33
  unless they're absolutely necessary.
• 21:34
  So when I went to my new doctor,
• 21:38
  I gave that speech when I started.
• 21:40
  So they never brought it up to me.
• 21:42
  Got it.
• 21:44
  I was curious, like,
• 21:46
  I know that it's utilized a
• 21:47
  lot for weight loss.
• 21:48
  I was thinking specifically
• 21:49
  for this situation where you, you know,
• 21:52
  are trying to get that down.
• 21:55
  But I don't know enough about it,
• 21:56
  so I'm not trying to make a judgment.
• 21:57
  It was just seriously just a
• 21:59
  curiosity question.
• 22:02
  So because of things in my family,
• 22:04
  we've looked into it,
• 22:06
  some different research stuff.
• 22:07
  Mm-hmm.
• 22:08
  And really, like,
• 22:09
  the only bad side effects
• 22:10
  are people who are using it improperly.
• 22:12
  Mm-hmm.
• 22:14
  Um,
• 22:15
  that aren't still exercising or that
• 22:18
  aren't changing lifestyle,
• 22:19
  but aren't even diabetic.
• 22:21
  Yeah.
• 22:21
  Because the way it works is it, it,
• 22:24
  it actually helps the insulin do its job.
• 22:27
  Um,
• 22:28
  and helps the hormones in the gut do
• 22:31
  what it's supposed to do.
• 22:33
  Um, so it's really designed for diabetics.
• 22:36
  So if you're not a diabetic taking it,
• 22:39
  you're messing with stuff
• 22:40
  that shouldn't be messed with.
• 22:41
  Right.
• 22:42
  Yeah.
• 22:42
  Yeah.
• 22:43
  Yeah.
• 22:47
  And Elise says, the more pills you take,
• 22:49
  the more you'll have to
• 22:50
  take because every med has a side effect.
• 22:57
  So, yep.
• 23:00
  Hey,
• 23:00
  are you wearing your Thick Boy
• 23:01
  sweatshirt right there?
• 23:02
  I am.
• 23:03
  Look at that.
• 23:04
  Yeah.
• 23:05
  It is cold in my basement today.
• 23:07
  Oh,
• 23:09
  it's cold today because yesterday was
• 23:10
  gorgeous and today it's like...
• 23:14
  Well, I don't have a back deck yet.
• 23:17
  So to take Walter out,
• 23:19
  I've got to walk him to
• 23:21
  wherever he's going.
• 23:22
  And it was cold rain this morning.
• 23:24
  Oh my goodness, it was cold.
• 23:28
  I just saw this really funny
• 23:32
  reel that has to do with
• 23:33
  somebody that was building a deck.
• 23:36
  And they were like,
• 23:37
  just think of all the meat
• 23:38
  you can have on this deck.
• 23:41
  And they were like,
• 23:42
  just wait for all my deck
• 23:44
  picks that you're going to get.
• 23:48
  It's funny because when I
• 23:51
  lived in Tallahassee, Florida,
• 23:53
  the bars competed to see
• 23:55
  who had the biggest deck.
• 23:56
  Yeah.
• 23:57
  And they would do commercials about like,
• 23:59
  who's got the biggest deck in town?
• 24:04
  Come see our deck.
• 24:06
  Yeah.
• 24:07
  So speaking of thick boy.
• 24:09
  Yeah.
• 24:10
  Maybe they can sponsor some
• 24:12
  of your deck work.
• 24:15
  Corey,
• 24:15
  my Thick Boy stuff will be here Thursday.
• 24:17
  Oh, yeah.
• 24:19
  And you can order that at thickboy.fit.
• 24:24
  Max Krieg,
• 24:24
  who we had on for the semifinal series,
• 24:28
  he ordered some Thick Boy
• 24:30
  stuff when he was at Beach Brawl,
• 24:33
  something like that, in Florida.
• 24:35
  And he said it was really
• 24:36
  inappropriate and he
• 24:37
  couldn't show it on the air.
• 24:38
  So...
• 24:40
  Of course you can get your
• 24:41
  inappropriate apparel by
• 24:42
  going to thick boy.
• 24:43
  Fit.
• 24:45
  So thick boy picks and deck picks.
• 24:50
  Yep.
• 24:50
  Got it.
• 24:51
  Yep.
• 24:52
  All, all that.
• 24:54
  Um,
• 24:56
  we have semifinals going on this weekend.
• 24:58
  Okay.
• 24:58
  First round Europe at the
• 25:00
  French throwdown and Asia
• 25:02
  at the far East throwdown.
• 25:04
  Um,
• 25:09
  This is what really pisses me off.
• 25:12
  You announce that the first workout,
• 25:16
  it will not be on an air runner.
• 25:18
  It will be on land.
• 25:20
  So the 800 meter runs will
• 25:22
  be on the ground.
• 25:24
  And then you go in and do
• 25:25
  your clean and jerks.
• 25:28
  Finally, we get to see a race.
• 25:31
  And then CrossFit announces
• 25:32
  we're not streaming it.
• 25:37
  Your thoughts?
• 25:44
  Well, financially,
• 25:46
  it probably is easier for them.
• 25:50
  Easier.
• 25:52
  But let me just say,
• 25:54
  at this local comp that I was just at,
• 25:56
  they had no problem
• 25:58
  streaming it by themselves
• 26:00
  with several different
• 26:02
  angles just set up throughout the gym.
• 26:04
  And it was free.
• 26:06
  So...
• 26:10
  it probably should be able
• 26:11
  to handle it with all the
• 26:13
  people and contacts that they have.
• 26:19
  I agree.
• 26:20
  I don't know what the take is because,
• 26:23
  you know,
• 26:26
  People yelled last year about, Hey,
• 26:28
  just at least give us a
• 26:29
  stationary camera.
• 26:31
  And then CrossFit tried to
• 26:32
  do the worst stationary
• 26:33
  camera in the history of
• 26:35
  stationary cameras where
• 26:37
  they hung an iPhone five
• 26:38
  from the rafters of the
• 26:40
  Coliseum where you couldn't
• 26:42
  even see anything.
• 26:44
  Like there was no effort at
• 26:45
  all put into that.
• 26:46
  Yeah.
• 26:47
  Right.
• 26:47
  Right.
• 26:48
  Like you don't have a tripod
• 26:49
  and you can put an iPhone
• 26:50
  at each corner and
• 26:52
  yeah I mean that's what this
• 26:53
  comp did they had ipads on
• 26:54
  tripad or ipads on tripods
• 26:59
  and then the event that we
• 27:00
  did move outside somebody
• 27:02
  carried it out there so lan
• 27:06
  is saying chase is going
• 27:07
  live on friday he also is
• 27:10
  doing their recap show so
• 27:13
  is he doing the recap show
• 27:15
  that that was announced
• 27:17
  And now that CrossFit has
• 27:18
  hired him to do that,
• 27:20
  is he willing to do more
• 27:22
  like he did Rogue last year?
• 27:28
  Oh, guys,
• 27:32
  I told you I'm struggle busing this week.
• 27:35
  Hopefully next week I'm
• 27:36
  going to be well rested.
• 27:38
  Corey, that was her 41th error.
• 27:39
  Of the show.
• 27:45
  Dex.
• 27:46
  Speaking of 41th.
• 27:50
  There he is.
• 27:51
  Our 41th place athlete.
• 27:54
  We're waiting for that 40th.
• 27:57
  We're waiting for 37 to have
• 27:59
  a really bad video.
• 28:00
  Yeah.
• 28:03
  We are.
• 28:08
  What a time to be alive.
• 28:10
  It's true though.
• 28:10
  It's better than the alternative Dex.
• 28:14
  he we had him on sunday he
• 28:16
  told he told us the next
• 28:18
  two workouts were not
• 28:19
  because he was in a he was
• 28:20
  in a spot and then he said
• 28:23
  the next two workouts it
• 28:26
  was going to be tough
• 28:29
  little did we know one
• 28:30
  freaking point what is that
• 28:33
  like one less break on yeah
• 28:37
  he probably he probably
• 28:38
  didn't go unbroken on the thrusters
• 28:42
  i bet my man went unbroken
• 28:45
  just kidding I'm just I'm
• 28:47
  just kidding do you go
• 28:50
  unbroken on the thrusters
• 28:51
  decks solve the problem
• 28:55
  yeah it had turned out to
• 29:00
  be seven seconds faster on workout three
• 29:09
  I knew my Clydesdale dog was
• 29:12
  going unbroken on the thruster.
• 29:14
  Yeah.
• 29:18
  Wow.
• 29:20
  That's impressive.
• 29:23
  Well,
• 29:24
  we'll have him on later this week to
• 29:26
  talk about whatever happened this week.
• 29:28
  Yeah.
• 29:29
  And hopefully by then he'll
• 29:30
  have advanced one spot and
• 29:33
  gets back into a qualifying spot.
• 29:39
  there's a nice lineup coming
• 29:41
  up this week though.
• 29:43
  Nice lineup of semifinal athletes.
• 29:46
  Yeah.
• 29:47
  I'm still working on others too.
• 29:48
  So yeah, it may get bigger.
• 29:50
  Yeah.
• 29:53
  We have Tristan Spencer, Tristan, Tristan,
• 29:56
  Chase, Tristan, Chase Smith, Paige, Paige,
• 30:02
  the Mensa, Spencer pan check.
• 30:06
  Uh, and tonight we have, uh, uh,
• 30:10
  Caroline Stanley at five o'clock.
• 30:18
  Yep.
• 30:20
  Um, Dex, if you go to data wads, uh,
• 30:24
  Instagram,
• 30:25
  our stats and information person.
• 30:27
  And I think I am a collaborator on it.
• 30:29
  Uh,
• 30:30
  the rule book says May 28th is the
• 30:34
  finalization for the, uh,
• 30:37
  leaderboard for age groups.
• 30:53
  Oh, gosh.
• 30:53
  Two weeks of anxiety.
• 30:54
  It might happen before that.
• 30:57
  Yeah.
• 30:58
  Yeah.
• 31:00
  So, yeah, great lineup this week.
• 31:05
  I sent out 15 invitations today.
• 31:09
  um for west coast classic
• 31:11
  and then I'll send out
• 31:12
  another 15 for syndicate
• 31:15
  probably in a day or two
• 31:16
  yeah I just keep going back
• 31:18
  and forth and as we fill
• 31:20
  and then I do another load
• 31:22
  yeah um and no no um no
• 31:27
  rhyme or reason just go
• 31:28
  down through the leaderboard pick names
• 31:30
  Yeah.
• 31:31
  Reach out.
• 31:33
  DMs.
• 31:34
  You know how hard it is when
• 31:35
  you only have a name to
• 31:37
  find someone on Instagram?
• 31:39
  Yeah.
• 31:39
  There are a handful I can't find.
• 31:42
  Yeah.
• 31:43
  Yeah.
• 31:44
  So if you're watching and we
• 31:46
  haven't reached out, message us.
• 31:49
  Yeah.
• 31:50
  Because we'd love to talk to you.
• 31:53
  I had one.
• 31:54
  Did you watch Kill Taylor?
• 31:55
  Have you watched a Kill Taylor?
• 31:57
  Mm-mm.
• 31:57
  Mm-mm.
• 31:59
  It's becoming my favorite show on TV.
• 32:01
  Is it?
• 32:02
  I kid you not.
• 32:05
  He got killed this week.
• 32:08
  And you know the concept, right?
• 32:11
  He does a workout.
• 32:13
  Then people can send in a text, get a link,
• 32:17
  and then they do the
• 32:18
  workout on their phone.
• 32:21
  And if they can beat his time...
• 32:25
  they win money and it starts at 500.
• 32:27
  If he, nobody beats him that week,
• 32:29
  it rolls over to a thousand
• 32:31
  rolls over to 15.
• 32:32
  So it was a 1500 this last weekend.
• 32:34
  Okay.
• 32:35
  Who killed him?
• 32:36
  So I'm going to set it up here.
• 32:37
  Okay.
• 32:38
  A guy,
• 32:38
  a guy from CrossFit Krypton sends in
• 32:42
  his text, gets a link.
• 32:45
  He's there with Ben Smith.
• 32:50
  He stopped one rep short
• 32:52
  because he miscounted or he
• 32:54
  would have beat him.
• 32:56
  They actually had to go back
• 32:57
  and watch the video and
• 33:00
  they counted and he only
• 33:01
  did 39 of the 40 reps.
• 33:05
  And I, I mean, I'm losing my mind.
• 33:07
  Then this guy who's in like
• 33:10
  a yurt in Pennsylvania out
• 33:13
  in the middle of nowhere
• 33:14
  with an ATV beside him does
• 33:18
  the workout and beats him by 10 seconds.
• 33:21
  That's awesome.
• 33:23
  And he's not a semifinal athlete.
• 33:26
  He couldn't make it.
• 33:28
  He was good at those couple
• 33:29
  movements and ended up
• 33:32
  winning $1,500 in cash.
• 33:37
  It is so exciting.
• 33:42
  And what I love now is when they don't
• 33:46
  they cut it off.
• 33:46
  If you're not going to make it,
• 33:47
  they cut you off and they
• 33:48
  just move on to the next person.
• 33:50
  The first couple of weeks,
• 33:51
  like they let you finish the workout.
• 33:55
  And now like, if you,
• 33:56
  if you're past the workout, we're done,
• 33:58
  we're moving on to the next guy.
• 34:01
  But two weeks ago, like Joe Piero,
• 34:03
  who is a, um, uh, a semifinal athlete,
• 34:08
  I think he was on Dex's team last year.
• 34:10
  He, um,
• 34:13
  him and his buddy came on in
• 34:14
  like sombreros and, um,
• 34:17
  did like this whole bit,
• 34:18
  like wrestling bit before they did it.
• 34:21
  It's just, it's so fun.
• 34:22
  You would love it, Amy.
• 34:24
  I'll watch it for sure.
• 34:25
  I just, like I said, this after this week,
• 34:29
  um, I got wide open calendar.
• 34:34
  Yeah.
• 34:35
  It's on Saturdays,
• 34:37
  usually like mid afternoon for us,
• 34:39
  like noon, one o'clock.
• 34:40
  Okay.
• 34:42
  Yeah.
• 34:46
  Fascinating.
• 34:53
  Well,
• 34:53
  I look forward to not watching the
• 34:55
  first event on semifinals this week,
• 34:57
  but I look forward to the
• 34:59
  other events we'll get to watch.
• 35:02
  Yeah.
• 35:03
  I feel bad for the teams.
• 35:05
  Yeah.
• 35:06
  Because what their whole first two,
• 35:10
  first three events don't get streamed.
• 35:14
  Yeah.
• 35:16
  That's
• 35:18
  It's only one individual event,
• 35:24
  but three team events.
• 35:26
  Yeah.
• 35:33
  Dex said the team shift was
• 35:35
  weird and in bad taste to me.
• 35:37
  Yeah.
• 35:40
  They only get two days.
• 35:44
  So they got to do three and three.
• 35:56
  yeah they did they already
• 35:57
  separated the age groups
• 35:58
  yeah yeah you're right so
• 36:01
  let me ask you this is uh
• 36:03
  mike halpin um featured
• 36:05
  this this week end of our
• 36:08
  show sunday night jamie was
• 36:10
  asked by carolyn how she's
• 36:12
  going to celebrate if she
• 36:13
  makes the games okay which
• 36:15
  she is in a quality she
• 36:16
  qualified at this point yeah
• 36:19
  And she was like,
• 36:20
  I don't know because it's
• 36:22
  not what it was.
• 36:25
  Like it doesn't have – it
• 36:29
  just doesn't feel the same.
• 36:32
  If you were to make the
• 36:33
  games in this new format
• 36:36
  where it's separate and apart,
• 36:40
  would you feel it to be a celebration?
• 36:43
  Yeah.
• 36:44
  I absolutely,
• 36:45
  but I don't have the previous to,
• 36:47
  to compare it to,
• 36:48
  but I absolutely think it is.
• 36:49
  I think it is still the games.
• 36:51
  I think it is still quite
• 36:52
  the accomplishment.
• 36:53
  Your ranking among the world
• 36:55
  is still holding,
• 36:57
  whether you're competing at
• 36:59
  one venue versus another at
• 37:00
  a different time.
• 37:01
  It's still the same.
• 37:02
  I think it's sure.
• 37:05
  It's going to,
• 37:06
  you're going to miss some nostalgia,
• 37:07
  but I think absolutely that it's like you,
• 37:10
  Jamie's never made the games.
• 37:12
  Yeah.
• 37:12
  So she wanted her first time
• 37:14
  to be the way it was, right?
• 37:17
  I get it.
• 37:19
  Yeah.
• 37:19
  Yeah.
• 37:21
  I'm curious what, like, Rudy would say.
• 37:25
  So I've talked to that.
• 37:26
  Like, I've talked to Jason Grubb,
• 37:27
  and I've talked to Rudy.
• 37:28
  I talked to Kelly Friel.
• 37:30
  Like, for them,
• 37:32
  they've already had that experience.
• 37:33
  So, like, they're glad regardless.
• 37:36
  Mm-hmm.
• 37:43
  Um, what, what is,
• 37:46
  I think the fields are in
• 37:47
  reserve if it's the games,
• 37:49
  but different location, big experience.
• 37:51
  Absolutely.
• 37:53
  If the move is to shit on age groups,
• 37:55
  experience wise,
• 37:57
  it'll be the last year I care about it.
• 38:04
  Yeah.
• 38:04
  I hope,
• 38:05
  I hope they do something pretty
• 38:07
  amazing to, uh,
• 38:12
  To make them feel special for making it.
• 38:17
  Yeah.
• 38:20
  Well, I think that's it for today.
• 38:22
  I think so.
• 38:25
  Hope everybody enjoyed their
• 38:26
  lunch hour round table for this week.
• 38:31
  With that,
• 38:32
  thank you to everybody in the
• 38:33
  chat for being here.
• 38:36
  We'll see everybody next
• 38:37
  time on Clydesdale Media Roundtable.
• 38:40
  Bye guys.
• 38:41
  Bye.
