Lunch with the Clydesdale - Was this Year's Open a Success · Clydesdale Media Podcast

0:02
We are back and better than ever.
0:05
Wadapalooza's over.
0:07
The Open's over.
0:09
What's next?
0:10
Let's find out.
0:22
I love the chase and the hunt,
0:23
and I set the pace when I'm running.
0:25
I always take what I want,
0:26
and I always give it one hundred.
0:28
Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.
0:30
Play the game like it's nothing.
0:31
I'm always thankful for something.
0:32
Don't take for granted, stay humble.
0:34
Now wake up!
0:35
It's time to look at the enemy.
0:38
Look in the mirror if he is no
0:40
friend to me.
0:41
It's not working out,
0:42
maybe it's the chemistry.
0:43
It's time to break up so I can
0:45
make a better me.
0:50
It's lunch time!
0:52
what is going on everybody welcome to
0:54
lunch with the clydesdale and uh
0:59
Coming at you live for lunchtime.
1:01
Good to see you all.
1:04
We got Meredith in the chat saying, hey,
1:06
hey.
1:07
We got Helson saying,
1:09
coming from Lucy Show to Sevan's Lucy Show
1:13
to lunchtime.
1:13
What a beautiful day.
1:17
Joseph Ramirez learned how to count.
1:20
He did.
1:21
And Jody.
1:23
Jody,
1:24
apparently nobody's buying some cabinets
1:26
right now, so she can be with us.
1:30
And we got CrossFit asking how I'm
1:32
feeling.
1:34
I'm actually feeling really good today and
1:36
yesterday.
1:37
I've been feeling pretty good.
1:38
The weekend was, I'm not going to lie,
1:40
got a little depressed over the news last
1:42
week of the AFib stuff.
1:44
But cardiologist called me yesterday
1:48
and...
1:50
set me up an appointment for next Tuesday,
1:54
but said they're going to try to get
1:55
me a cancellation,
1:56
which happened right before we came on the
1:59
air today.
2:00
And so Thursday, speaking of Thursday,
2:08
we're going to go to the cardiologist at
2:10
two p.m.
2:11
Eastern time on Thursday to find out what
2:14
next steps are for everything that's going
2:17
on.
2:18
So that's where we're at.
2:19
Quick update.
2:20
And speaking of Thursday,
2:22
what better segue than Thursday Thursday
2:25
is to tell you that the open's over.
2:29
Now it's time to recover.
2:31
Time to relax, get some sleep,
2:34
get ready for quarterfinals.
2:35
If you hit that top twenty five percent.
2:38
And use code Jazzy at checkout to get
2:42
fifteen percent off.
2:43
If you didn't order before today,
2:45
you missed out on twenty five percent off.
2:48
We told you.
2:49
We told you.
2:51
But you can still get fifteen percent off
2:52
now.
2:54
So check that out.
2:57
Nothing is accidental, Joseph.
2:59
Yeah.
3:01
Nothing is accidental, Joseph.
3:02
It's all intentional.
3:03
We don't believe in accidents around here,
3:05
Joseph.
3:06
Missed you too, Jay Birch.
3:08
Work just was insanity yesterday.
3:12
I was out Friday.
3:13
Had to come back to a buttload of
3:15
emails.
3:15
Had to update a ton of stuff.
3:19
Jody says, we're kidding.
3:21
She's quoting four huge kitchens as we
3:24
speak.
3:26
Multitasking.
3:28
Andrew Hiller claims nobody can multitask.
3:32
He can't multitask.
3:34
That dude is like a dog with a
3:36
car.
3:36
You understand?
3:38
I kind of agree with him though.
3:40
Like my wife cannot watch a movie without
3:44
a tablet or a phone in front of
3:45
her.
3:47
And I do not have any of that
3:48
in front of me when I'm watching a
3:50
movie.
3:51
I want to watch it and suck it
3:56
all in, right?
3:57
And she,
4:01
I feel like this is becoming the complain
4:02
about my wife thing,
4:03
but I love her to death.
4:05
But she then asks me, well,
4:08
why did they do that?
4:09
Well,
4:09
didn't you see like two scenes ago when
4:13
so-and-so did this to so-and-so?
4:16
Oh.
4:18
And so I'm like,
4:19
if you just put the tablet down,
4:21
you wouldn't have to ask me the plot
4:22
lines.
4:24
My wife isn't that bad with the tablets,
4:26
but she will.
4:27
Like last night,
4:28
we were watching the newest episode of
4:31
Paradise.
4:33
And she snuggled in next to me on
4:35
the couch and was out within the first
4:38
ten minutes of the episode.
4:40
It was fantastic.
4:41
And she wakes up and she looks at
4:42
me and she goes,
4:43
I have no idea what happened.
4:44
I'm like, I know.
4:51
Oh, that's me.
4:52
I'm on IMDb throughout the whole movie
4:54
sharing facts about the actors.
4:57
I will say that is me, Jody.
4:59
I will jump on my phone to IMDb
5:01
and say,
5:02
I know that person from somewhere.
5:04
Where the hell do I know them from?
5:07
And then I have to check on IMDb
5:08
to see
5:13
I'll do that a lot too.
5:14
Like I know I've seen this cat before
5:16
and I cannot figure out where it's from.
5:17
And it's going to bug the crap out
5:20
of me until I figure it out.
5:22
Yeah.
5:23
And one of my favorite people in the
5:24
whole wide world, Jess, what's going on?
5:28
We love you, Jess.
5:29
We miss you, Jess.
5:31
Glad to see you.
5:33
Yeah.
5:33
But other than IMDB,
5:34
I do not pick up my phone during...
5:37
during a movie or and then invariably my
5:40
daughter calls with five minutes left of
5:43
anything we're watching like right at the
5:46
climax of the movie television show
5:50
sporting event whatever it is it's like
5:53
she has a sensor says gotta call the
5:57
the parents right now
6:01
John Wick is fixing to do his last
6:05
murder-death-kill.
6:07
And then... Son of a... It is non-stop.
6:12
And it's always FaceTime.
6:14
So it's broadcast out for us all to
6:17
hear.
6:18
And I can't listen to both things going
6:20
on at the same time.
6:21
John McClane is about to drop Hans Gruber
6:25
off the thirty-second floor at Nakatomi
6:27
Plaza.
6:27
Exactly.
6:28
Exactly.
6:30
son of a...
6:32
Or it's a teenage movie and you've just
6:34
been sobbing.
6:37
Yeah.
6:38
I will remember the Titans.
6:46
Joseph, if my daughter calls,
6:49
my wife will never let it go to
6:51
voicemail.
6:54
Never, ever.
6:55
Straight to jail.
6:57
Straight to jail.
6:59
Mama bear will never let that happen.
7:05
Uh,
7:05
so a lot of people were asking Andrew
7:07
Sten about if he ever got dried off.
7:10
Because, man, Miami was awful.
7:15
Holy smokes.
7:16
I felt for them.
7:16
I can't imagine.
7:18
And, look,
7:20
they were talking about it yesterday or
7:22
today, whatever,
7:23
people asking for their money back because
7:28
half their event got rained out and
7:30
whatnot.
7:31
It's Miami.
7:33
It's Southern Florida in general, dude.
7:34
We went to the Keys last year for
7:35
a weekend,
7:36
and it rained on us five separate times
7:38
while we were down there.
7:40
No,
7:40
I'm supposed to try to get my money
7:42
back from a bicycle rental guy that I
7:45
ride bikes around?
7:45
No.
7:47
It rains.
7:49
When you're in business school,
7:51
like I was back when we were writing
7:53
on stone tablets,
7:56
you have to take business law.
7:58
And in that,
7:59
you learn about this theory of assumption
8:01
of risk.
8:03
Absolutely.
8:03
And if there is an assumption of risk,
8:06
it kind of gives the entity an out.
8:10
Like if you go to a baseball game,
8:13
there's an assumption of risk that you
8:14
could get hit with a baseball or a
8:18
bat, right?
8:19
Yeah.
8:20
If you've ever watched Waterpalooza on a
8:23
stream,
8:25
you know that there is an assumption of
8:28
risk that it is going to rain.
8:30
Pick a year, any year.
8:34
And with that,
8:36
when you sign up and you pay the
8:37
entry fee,
8:38
there's an assumption of risk that it's
8:41
going to rain.
8:44
And there is a chance that it could
8:47
cancel some of your events as it has
8:50
done in years past.
8:55
So you have to know that when you
8:59
sign up for that.
9:03
I'm sure it's in the paperwork that
9:04
everybody glosses over,
9:05
scrolls through just to get to the bottom
9:07
so you can accept it.
9:09
It's written in there somewhere.
9:11
I can promise you it is.
9:12
Most of them nowadays also have an option
9:14
for like two dollars and fifty cents to
9:17
get your money back if something happens.
9:20
But that's before.
9:20
But you have to figure that out before
9:21
you actually go.
9:23
Hey,
9:23
if I can't show up because I'm hurt,
9:25
I'm injured,
9:27
my plane exploded before I take off,
9:29
whatever,
9:29
I'm going to get my registration feedback.
9:32
But you have to do that beforehand.
9:38
Jesus Christ, Jess is saying in there,
9:40
it could be worse.
9:41
It could have been thirty inches of snow
9:43
from a blizzard passing through.
9:46
Rain?
9:47
It's wet and it's windy.
9:48
Okay, cool.
9:49
You're still in South Beach.
9:51
I can't even imagine just getting thirty
9:53
inches of snow.
9:54
We got an inch and I was pissed.
9:56
Right.
9:57
Like, it's supposed to be over, people.
10:03
Chattanooga asked,
10:05
think the open was ever hosted again at
10:07
Waterpalooza?
10:08
Not that it's their fault.
10:10
It just made it a bit more difficult
10:11
for people doing it.
10:13
And Stan came back and said, never.
10:16
That screwed up so much because of the
10:18
number of people needed to run that stage.
10:22
And with all the delays,
10:24
all those heat times had to get screwed
10:26
up.
10:28
And then you add in the fifty dollar
10:30
drop in fees.
10:32
Like, good Lord, people.
10:34
The fifty dollar drop in fee I thought
10:36
was absolutely bananas.
10:38
And I get it.
10:39
They don't want just anybody coming in,
10:40
so they're going to jack it up because
10:42
I'm sure it's not that when Waterpalooza
10:44
is not going on and the Open is
10:46
not that weekend,
10:47
it's probably not a fifty dollar fee.
10:49
So they're trying to knock down just a
10:51
sheer amount of people that be coming in
10:53
there.
10:53
Right.
10:54
It's like,
10:54
what do we do to keep a lot
10:56
of people out?
10:57
Make it fifty bucks for the weekend.
11:00
People were probably complaining,
11:00
thinking it was an opportunistic thing.
11:02
Oh,
11:02
we're going to make money off these
11:03
people.
11:03
But I think the opposite is true,
11:05
is that they were trying to keep just
11:08
a ridiculous amount of people just from
11:10
just coming and banging on in through the
11:12
door.
11:14
So Andrew asked,
11:15
who charged fifty dollars?
11:16
I don't know the gym.
11:18
It's in Lucy Campbell's behind the scenes.
11:21
She got charged fifty dollars to drop in.
11:24
The same place Taylor and Bryson went.
11:28
And eventually they did refund her money.
11:31
But the crazy thing about that is if
11:35
Lucy Campbell drops into your gym,
11:36
the photos you can get to promote your
11:38
gym is worth more than the fifty dollars
11:41
she paid.
11:43
Just have to be smart, people.
11:45
Yeah.
11:47
Just go ahead and get her to stand
11:48
in front of your logo somewhere and take
11:50
a couple of pictures.
11:51
Ortega,
11:52
the fees were waived if you went to
11:55
do twenty six point three on Sunday.
11:59
This happened before Wadapalooza kicked
12:02
off.
12:02
She had dropped into train like right
12:05
before it happened.
12:11
Um.
12:16
Yes, I am assuming people are smart.
12:18
I'm not assuming that, David Reed.
12:20
I am not.
12:22
I work for the state of Ohio.
12:23
I know people are not smart.
12:26
I deal with the public every day.
12:29
I'm not even talking about the public.
12:30
I'm talking about my coworkers.
12:32
No, I know.
12:33
I got a couple like that too,
12:34
but for the most part,
12:35
I deal with the public every day,
12:38
and they are blindingly stupid.
12:41
I hate to say that because I'm part
12:42
of the public, but it's a fact.
12:48
Anyway.
12:50
So there was that.
12:51
Waterpalooza went off this week.
12:55
We also had.
12:57
Twenty six point three finishing up.
12:59
Yes, sir.
13:01
You sent me something that showed your
13:05
vast improvement from twenty six point one
13:08
to twenty six point three.
13:11
Yeah.
13:11
I'm going to try to pull it up
13:12
real quick.
13:13
See if you can show it.
13:16
So while you're doing that,
13:18
as far as twenty six point three is
13:19
concerned,
13:20
shout out to Joseph Ramirez and Will
13:22
Plummer for doing theirs live on Glinton's
13:24
channel.
13:26
And I got to be there for both
13:29
of them, actually.
13:31
And Joseph beat me on this on his
13:33
initial.
13:34
And I went back and did it again
13:35
last night after watching him go and
13:38
watching Will go and had a better strategy
13:42
and got a better result.
13:43
If you can do better, do better.
13:48
This is wild,
13:49
if anybody's looking at this.
13:52
Walk us through.
13:53
This is wild work.
13:54
So,
13:55
this is our first in a very long
14:00
time.
14:00
We did intramural open at the gym.
14:03
Everybody got drafted on the teams.
14:04
And as a part of that,
14:06
doing Friday Night Lights,
14:07
we did –
14:09
uh head-to-head coaches versus coaches
14:11
right so the first week i went against
14:13
brent and i got sucked into a race
14:16
with him very very early on and did
14:19
not run my race i am better than
14:21
that by a fair margin
14:25
the what sucks is that because of that
14:30
because you know intensity level i got
14:31
blah blah whatever you know pick a thing
14:34
that i messed up on there's plenty of
14:36
them uh my chronically tight it bands went
14:39
to pull it on my knee and it
14:41
was just too much you know i wasn't
14:43
gonna have a chance to hurt myself worse
14:45
to to redo it so my score was
14:48
my score whatever
14:50
Move on to twenty six point two.
14:52
I also did I did I did do
14:53
that one twice.
14:55
Did second worst on my second try.
14:56
So we roll with the first one.
14:58
Wasn't mad about that one.
15:00
That's just where I am wondering muscle
15:01
ups under fatigue right now.
15:03
It's getting it's a hell of a lot
15:05
better than it was three years ago.
15:07
So I got that and then went ahead
15:11
and did twenty six point three again head
15:13
to head Friday.
15:15
me and Aaron were going he and I
15:16
were very very close as far as fitness
15:18
levels are concerned um and I was ahead
15:22
of him about six or seven reps the
15:24
whole time and just kind of I don't
15:27
want to say put it on cruise control
15:28
but like I was content with that because
15:30
in my head I'm like yes I should
15:32
be beating this guy as far as this
15:34
you know so throw us a workout looked
15:36
at it feel pretty good about it actually
15:38
Friday after I got done and then as
15:40
the weekend went on I was like
15:43
So I texted Brandon and said,
15:45
am I crazy to think about doing this
15:47
again?
15:47
And he didn't even answer that.
15:48
He just said, do it again.
15:50
And I said, okay.
15:52
So went back yesterday afternoon.
15:55
Friday,
15:56
I did all my thrusters unbroken as long
15:58
as I could.
16:02
Both sets of ninety five, I did unbroken.
16:04
The first set of one fifteen,
16:05
I did unbroken.
16:06
And then the second set of one fifteen,
16:08
I broke either seven five or eight four.
16:10
I really don't remember.
16:12
And then only got through the first set
16:14
of cleans at one thirty five.
16:16
So yesterday I went back and broke the
16:19
thrusters from the get go.
16:20
Seven five the entire way.
16:23
The second weight change and the third
16:26
weight change I did change one plate six
16:29
burpees change one plate six burpees Just
16:32
to kind of help keep my heart rate
16:33
down a little bit that plus,
16:35
you know Holding the thrusters unbroken
16:37
and I was a little bit more disciplined
16:38
on the cleans and I got thirteen more
16:40
reps.
16:41
So It was pretty sweet.
16:44
I was pretty excited about that one I
16:45
watched my so I put my score in
16:47
Friday and like,
16:48
you know Friday not a people don't put
16:51
their scores in blah blah,
16:52
whatever and
16:54
they hold on joan jenkins tuning in had
16:57
to tune in since we have ty on
17:00
the thumbnail today yeah ty killed it at
17:04
water palooza last week yeah that's him
17:07
he's on the come yeah he's moving uh
17:12
anyway yeah
17:14
Was a little bit more disciplined on the
17:15
cleans.
17:16
Still did singles the whole way through.
17:17
Seven and five on the thrusters.
17:20
And was able to keep my burpees at
17:23
the same pace where I didn't, you know,
17:25
I dropped off a whole lot less and
17:27
made it all the way through the burpees
17:31
and got one thruster at a one thirty
17:34
five with
17:37
I think I had ten seconds whenever I
17:38
picked the barbell up,
17:39
got up to be able to pick the
17:40
barbell up.
17:41
So if I'd had two more seconds,
17:43
I probably could have got a mellow
17:44
thruster, but it is what it is.
17:45
I'm not mad at it.
17:46
Friday, I put it in initially.
17:49
It was good for thirtieth,
17:50
and then just kind of watched it tumble
17:52
down the leaderboard over the weekend and
17:54
then redid it last night,
17:56
and now it's good for thirty-fourth.
17:57
So, yeah.
17:59
Were he satisfied with that?
18:01
Yes, Jenny.
18:03
So for you people younger than me,
18:06
I know it sounds bad,
18:09
but we used to say when there was
18:10
a young athlete on his way up,
18:13
you would say they're on the come.
18:16
Like they're on the come up.
18:19
But yeah,
18:20
so it was meant in that vein.
18:24
Translation to the younger generation.
18:27
Let me answer this one, Mr.
18:31
Doug Reed there.
18:34
Doug says,
18:35
why redo if you're going to make quarters
18:36
regardless?
18:37
Because Will Plummer put it pretty
18:40
eloquently yesterday is that this is the
18:43
one time of year where you get a
18:46
five-day window basically from Thursday
18:48
all the way through Monday.
18:50
To test and then maybe retest and to
18:52
see if a better strategy is going to
18:53
work better or if that's really where
18:56
you're at.
18:56
And, you know, as far as that's concerned,
18:58
I'm not the guy that's going to do
18:59
them four times over a weekend because I'm
19:01
not completely insane,
19:03
but my coach feels the same way.
19:05
Like,
19:05
Yeah,
19:06
I know I was going to make quarters
19:07
regardless.
19:07
I could have done a lot less, honestly,
19:11
and still make quarterfinals,
19:13
but I'm not here for that.
19:14
I'm here to put myself to the test
19:16
and see exactly what I'm capable of,
19:18
and I need to keep proving that to
19:20
myself, not to anybody else,
19:23
to get my mindset ready for when I
19:25
do hit quarters next weekend and be able
19:27
to put my best foot forward and try
19:28
to qualify for a spot to compete in
19:31
person because that's what I really want
19:33
to do this year.
19:36
At least John George has my back.
19:37
It's also on a craps table.
19:38
It's a good bet.
19:42
So with that,
19:45
let's go to the overall leaderboard.
19:48
So here we have the top of the
19:51
open leaderboard unofficially.
19:54
Colton Mertens will get the win.
19:56
He has a big lead.
19:57
It would take something catastrophic.
20:01
for him to fall out of that.
20:02
Peter Ellis with the second place.
20:04
Jeff Adler, third.
20:06
Yonikoski in a tie for fourth with Nika
20:10
Maserati?
20:11
Maserazzi?
20:13
Click on that.
20:13
Let me see.
20:14
That's what I think that is.
20:16
Can I get his picture up?
20:19
What's that?
20:20
Click on his little down arrow.
20:21
Yeah.
20:22
Okay, that's not who I thought it was.
20:23
There's some guy in there that everybody's
20:25
saying that he's on drugs.
20:32
I don't remember if that was him.
20:35
Good job on Saxon, man.
20:36
Yeah, he did.
20:50
And then the women, uh,
20:53
Lucy Campbell and Miriam Von Rohr tight
20:56
race for the win on the,
20:58
and that's fifteen grand people.
21:00
Yeah, it is fifteen grand, uh, tight,
21:03
tight.
21:04
Um,
21:06
And then Leah Storen, Emma Lawson,
21:09
nice comeback after a year off.
21:11
Morgan Theisens, Var Thurman Moe,
21:15
Claudia Gluck,
21:16
and our very own Carolyn Prevost with a
21:19
top ten finish in the open as a
21:22
Masters athlete.
21:24
She's an animal, dude.
21:25
I love it.
21:27
Taylor Howe and Rebecca Fusile.
21:29
Rebecca.
21:31
In the top ten.
21:32
Big Becca.
21:33
Rebecca.
21:35
so yeah carolyn killed it she loves the
21:40
open like i think of all the the
21:43
points in the season she loves the open
21:45
more than anything she loves doing it with
21:48
her community she loves the the strategic
21:51
part of it if you listen to us
21:53
on sunday night she talks about she always
21:55
does it friday and monday
21:59
Every week.
22:00
Same thing.
22:02
The strategery.
22:02
Yep.
22:05
She loves the strategery of it all.
22:09
I have a love-hate relationship with the
22:10
Open.
22:11
I love it when it comes around because
22:12
it marks the beginning of the season.
22:14
Let's see where we're at and whatnot.
22:18
My son did his first Open in two
22:20
years, three years this year,
22:24
which is another love-hate thing because I
22:25
love that he's doing it,
22:26
but it's so stressful watching him go,
22:28
dude,
22:28
because like
22:29
I want so much for him.
22:31
You know what I mean?
22:34
But it was good to see him get
22:34
after it himself.
22:37
Andrew Sten asks,
22:38
will Carolyn do both Masters and Elite
22:40
Indy?
22:40
If she makes both,
22:41
that would be a long week.
22:43
If she was allowed, she would do it.
22:49
The rumor is you're not going to be
22:52
able to do both.
22:54
Probably because of the limited spots this
22:55
year, if I had to guess.
22:57
It's I don't think it's about spots.
22:59
I think it's about timing.
23:01
And I think it's about that Thursday that,
23:04
that the elites may go to the ranch
23:07
as the rumored thing.
23:09
The ranch.
23:11
Yeah.
23:11
I think there's might be a small overlap,
23:14
which will prevent because the elites that
23:18
are on teams have been told they can't
23:20
do both.
23:20
Okay.
23:22
They can't do masters and elite teams.
23:24
Yeah.
23:25
If that is,
23:26
and I've not seen it anywhere where you
23:29
can't do elite and masters individual,
23:32
but Mike,
23:35
the thought process would be the same as
23:37
teams, I would think.
23:40
But who knows?
23:43
so that's what we have there um and
23:47
don't forget people we every year we do
23:50
the ncaa bracket challenge on the
23:53
clydesdale media youtube channel it's free
23:57
it's fun it's on espn you just go
24:00
to clydesdale media jazz fest that is the
24:04
group
24:06
And the code is Jazzy.
24:08
We try to keep it simple.
24:09
Oddly enough.
24:10
You can sign up for both the men's
24:12
tournament bracket and the women's
24:13
tournament bracket.
24:14
We give prize for both brackets

24:24
signed up.
24:25
And it's free.
24:28
And Jamie always wins the awards,
24:31
the trophies, the rings,
24:34
whatever it might be.
24:36
Ganging up to try to stop her from
24:39
winning another trophy.
24:41
We must stop Jamie's reign of terror.
24:45
She is impossible to be around when she
24:47
keeps winning.
24:50
That's a fact.
24:53
Here's why.
24:55
It's because she won't let you forget it.
24:56
Oh, no.
24:58
Like, you'll wear the... Like,
25:00
fantasy football was a ring.
25:01
Yeah.
25:02
Basketball last year was a ring and a
25:04
trophy.
25:05
Yeah,
25:05
she won the Tyson Bajan jersey from
25:08
Hiller.
25:08
She'll wear the shit around you.
25:12
It's role-playing.
25:13
So...
25:17
So, yeah, it's free.
25:19
ESPN.com.
25:20
Sign up for the Men's Bracket Challenge.
25:22
Again,
25:22
the group that we are in is Clydesdale
25:25
Media Jazz Fest.
25:28
And the code is Jazzy.
25:31
And the link is actually in the
25:32
description of this show.
25:35
So you can just click the link there,
25:36
too.
25:36
Even better.
25:42
So did you see Dave on Coffee Pods
25:43
and Wads?
25:44
I did for the forty five seconds he
25:47
was on air.
25:51
So I'm a quality guy, right?
25:53
Right.
25:55
If the quality of the thirty forty five
25:57
seconds was great.
26:01
Then I'm cool with it.
26:02
And it was great.
26:04
No, it was a percent.
26:07
And I know a lot of the media
26:09
attention is, hypothetically,
26:10
if they offered you the CEO tomorrow,
26:13
would you take it, right?
26:14
But what got me fired up is,
26:18
we've been talking about this on the
26:19
Sunday show a ton.
26:21
Should you carry the open scores over to
26:24
quarterfinals?
26:25
And he said, not only yes, we should,
26:28
but we will in the near future.
26:32
And Dave's near future usually means next
26:33
year.
26:37
But we have some things in limbo like
26:40
no CEO, possible sale, all that stuff,
26:44
right?
26:45
The next piece, though,
26:47
as he talks about it and the way
26:50
he talks about it tells me we're going
26:53
back to a regional type setup.
26:56
I like the way he spoke longingly of
26:59
regionals.
27:01
He hates invites to the events.
27:04
And he's not wrong.
27:05
So do I.
27:07
He doesn't care about popularity.
27:09
He doesn't care about ticket sales.
27:11
He wants to find the fittest this year.
27:15
End of story.
27:17
And the only way to do what he
27:19
is saying is to at least regionalize it
27:24
or assign people to a semifinal.
27:26
Yeah.
27:31
And...
27:33
What I love is they even talked about
27:35
carrying over the open to the
27:37
quarterfinals to the semifinals,
27:41
and then you would have like a twelve
27:44
event test to determine who goes to the
27:48
games.
27:52
Yeah.
27:53
Twelve to fourteen,
27:53
depending on what you get.
27:55
We had, I want to say,
27:57
five events for semifinals last year.
28:01
Well, if you're in-person semis,
28:03
it's almost always six.
28:05
Yeah.
28:06
So you're at the elite level, right?
28:07
Right.
28:08
Online, we had five last year.
28:11
I want to say for quarterfinals,
28:13
there was four.
28:15
So six and four plus three is thirteen.
28:20
That's probably at a minimum.
28:21
Chance of a better night,
28:22
we'll have five workouts next weekend for
28:24
quarterfinals.
28:26
And then maybe six for online semis or
28:28
six for in-person semis.
28:30
Like,
28:32
I like the way he spoke of it.
28:34
I will say this.
28:35
I was watching a little bit of CJ
28:39
and them.
28:40
Well,
28:40
just CJ at this point because they bailed
28:42
on him last night.
28:43
He brought up a good point as far
28:46
as like he said, you know,
28:47
he thinks it's a terrible idea,
28:49
adding all the scores together.
28:51
And I hadn't thought about it like this.
28:52
But his main reason is it's a judging
28:56
nightmare.
28:57
Because accountability at that point,
28:59
because look how many,
29:00
how many scores on the,
29:01
in the open right now are hot garbage
29:04
nonsense.
29:06
Not even just the fact that, you know,
29:07
and maybe it's a couple of reps
29:09
questionable here and there and yonder.
29:10
There was a dude in my age group
29:12
that did not put a score in for
29:14
point one,
29:14
did not put a score in for point
29:16
two.
29:16
And I recognize his name because he did
29:18
the same thing last year.
29:19
And all of a sudden puts in like
29:20
a twelve thirty or some crazy shit like
29:22
that for point three.
29:24
Well, here's how you fix that.
29:25
You ready?
29:28
If you don't make quarters,
29:28
you don't get your score carried over.
29:30
Okay, but to make quarters,
29:35
I can just go put in whatever three
29:36
scores I want to make quarters.
29:38
It's a lot harder to do.
29:41
Well, quarters are judged.
29:44
Quarters require more judging.
29:46
They do require more some video review.
29:50
They go out to the public.
29:53
So does open,
29:54
but only if you actually video it,
29:56
if without requiring video.
29:57
And they've said that.
30:00
That's what I'm getting at.
30:01
So now if you're adding the open to
30:03
quarters,
30:04
now you really going to have to be
30:06
judged or you're going to have to submit
30:08
video one or the two.
30:10
That's the only way it's going to be
30:11
anywhere close to being fair.
30:13
And that's still a big ask for doing
30:15
twenty five percent from open to quarters.
30:20
to get people who actually belong there,
30:22
belong there.
30:23
Everybody has to submit videos and
30:24
everybody has to watch those videos to
30:27
make sure that people are not doing it.
30:29
I get the self-policing system thing that
30:31
we got going on right now because I've
30:32
looked at people's videos and either said
30:35
good, not good, or needs review, whatever.
30:38
But you are asking,
30:40
that's a huge task for as many people
30:43
as they're bringing it.
30:46
Yeah,
30:47
I think it'll all level itself out as
30:48
you get into those higher-scale
30:50
quarterfinal workouts.
30:54
And as it drops down,
31:03
I think it can work.
31:04
It's better than what we have today.
31:07
I don't disagree.
31:08
And check the stuff for the Open.
31:11
And look,
31:11
you're talking to somebody who like the
31:12
more events I get,
31:14
the better I am because I have more
31:15
of a chance to show off what I
31:17
can actually do.
31:19
Anytime you get into a specialty event,
31:21
I'm not necessarily going to be great at
31:22
it unless it's a hundred foot handstand
31:24
walk for time or some crazy,
31:26
you know what I'm saying?
31:26
It had to be super specialized.
31:29
So the more events, the better for me,
31:31
for sure.
31:33
I want more.
31:36
My only concern,
31:37
and I'm glad CJ brought it up so
31:38
I can have something else to kind of
31:40
noodle on it about,
31:41
is it's a big ass to go from
31:44
there to there.
31:45
And I get it.
31:46
I don't understand what you're saying
31:47
about once you get to quarterfinals,
31:48
it'll kind of wash itself out.
31:50
But to get the right people to
31:51
quarterfinals,
31:52
because now people are like, well,
31:53
I'm just going to put whatever I got
31:54
in there and
31:56
Joe Bob at the gym is going to
31:57
sign off on it,
31:58
and we're going to call it good and
32:00
move on right along,
32:00
and I'm going to get in the quarterfinals.
32:02
And if it's enough people that do that,
32:04
I'm not saying that the majority of
32:06
CrossFitters are cheaters,
32:07
but I know enough shady-ass people that
32:10
would do stuff like that just to be
32:13
able to say I made it.
32:14
David Reed,
32:15
ultimately it's up to the affiliate.
32:16
They should be the gatekeepers and hold
32:17
standards.
32:20
I agree with you,
32:22
but we all know that
32:24
that is done.
32:24
They just don't.
32:26
Willy nilly.
32:28
Peter Benoit would just require anyone
32:29
that advances to send me to produce their
32:31
open videos.
32:32
I think what they should do is say,
32:34
you have to video all your workouts and
32:36
we can request anything from the season at
32:41
any point to determine your scores.
32:45
You need to video all three open workouts.
32:48
You need to video all four quarterfinal
32:50
workouts and we can request any of them
32:52
at any time.
32:58
How many go to semis?
32:59
I mean, that would,
33:01
all this is all hypothetical because we
33:03
don't know how many regions there would
33:05
be.
33:06
We don't know how many per region.
33:08
We don't know any of that stuff at
33:10
this point.
33:12
And if you had in-person semis and you
33:18
see even the age groups are starting to
33:20
get semis that are more
33:24
that are coming in more and more and
33:25
more.
33:27
And if you have that in-person event to
33:30
get to the games,
33:34
and it happened even in the early days,
33:36
people showed up and couldn't even do the
33:38
workouts.
33:41
It was like Kale Lehman, Kale Lehman,
33:43
Kale's big brother.
33:45
You know,
33:49
bail Lehman showed up to regionals and
33:51
they couldn't even do a rope climb.
33:55
So a solution at a check market
33:58
registration,
33:59
if you say you're looking to be in
34:00
consideration,
34:01
then you have to upload videos.
34:05
I don't, I don't hate that idea either.
34:10
Or at least if not have to upload
34:12
them, like Scott said,
34:13
you have to have them,
34:15
you have to have them put them on
34:17
YouTube, whatever the case may be.
34:20
That way, if, if somebody needs to go,
34:22
but there's a question,
34:24
Oh,
34:24
Corey did got two hundred twenty nine reps
34:27
on point three.
34:27
Let's see, because I'm going to right now.
34:29
I didn't video last night.
34:31
Absolutely not, because I did not have to.
34:32
I'm going to do everything for
34:33
quarterfinals.
34:37
But for the open, like it's a lot.
34:41
It really, really is.
34:43
Yeah,
34:44
I don't think everybody has to film counts
34:47
CrossFit.
34:47
I think it's just those who are looking
34:51
to go to quarters and looking to go
34:53
to semis.
34:55
I would say that ninety shit,
34:58
maybe ninety five percent of people who
35:00
are wants to open starts, you know,
35:03
or you have a pretty good idea if
35:04
you're going to make quarterfinals or if
35:06
you're going to be a semifinals type type
35:08
athlete,
35:09
especially those in the open division.
35:11
I know the guys in the Masters division,
35:12
the guys that I know,
35:13
the guys I compete with,
35:15
we know before before season starts, like,
35:17
yep.
35:18
i am going to be able to like
35:20
i don't necessarily need to do a whole
35:21
lot during the open to make quarterfinals
35:23
quarterfinals and when it matters i'll
35:25
probably make semis i would like to be
35:27
able to qualify high enough to get to
35:28
an in-person semi you already know you
35:32
know before the open even starts if not
35:34
you're delusional one way or the other
35:38
yeah i think um
35:41
just the ones who think they will advance.
35:43
If you have a hundred members,
35:44
there's likely only a handful of them that
35:46
will advance.
35:48
It's like Dave said, like of the,
35:50
the not a hundred people at a gym,
35:54
there's really only two that had maybe
35:56
have a legit shot at semis.
35:59
And unless you are like a really
36:01
competitive gym with really high end
36:04
talent, we got to,
36:09
I can think of offhand.
36:11
So that's for desk for masters semis,
36:15
not even for, not for the open.
36:21
Amanda says in the open,
36:22
anyone can judge you.
36:23
They'd have to change that to require the
36:24
judge's course at a minimum.
36:27
I don't disagree.
36:27
And again,
36:28
this was just Dave talking about what he
36:29
wants.
36:30
Yeah.
36:31
Right.
36:32
It doesn't.
36:32
And if they do go to this new
36:34
way, that means all new rules,
36:37
all new requirements.
36:39
It wouldn't,
36:40
you would hope they wouldn't just slap it
36:43
on top of what is there.
36:45
No.
36:46
I do think that the way he was
36:47
talking about it,
36:48
it sounds like there's already been
36:49
discussions about it.
36:50
So maybe they already have some sort of
36:51
groundwork kind of laid out.
36:53
They're just trying to work out the
36:53
details of what the best way forward is
36:55
going to be.
37:01
I like the carryover idea,
37:02
but on top of the people that do
37:04
the workouts, we have that many watching.
37:06
Trying to keep them out of the camera
37:08
area would be tough.
37:09
The affiliate I went to, both affiliates,
37:13
coned off with yellow tape the athlete
37:18
area and the spectator area.
37:20
And the two shall not cross.
37:23
And they were very adamant about it.
37:26
Very adamant.
37:29
And when it came down to it,
37:30
athlete gets the floor space before the
37:34
spectator.
37:37
Yeah, we tell people, we too,
37:40
with the lunges,
37:41
like we were getting ready to start actual
37:43
heats that Friday night.
37:45
And I yelled at six people that I
37:47
consider to be really good friends to get
37:50
the F out the way before y'all get
37:51
run over with a dumbbell.
37:52
Like, why are y'all standing right there?
37:54
Y'all know better than that.
37:58
Amanda says, yeah, same Scott.
37:59
No one is walking in front of cameras.
38:01
Yeah.
38:03
Well, my first affiliate,
38:04
there was no games athletes there.
38:06
There were not even semifinal athletes
38:08
there.
38:09
And then my second gym was Christy Aramo
38:12
O'Connell.
38:13
And like,
38:14
if you walked in front of her camera,
38:16
I mean, that's death sentence.
38:17
No, she would never do that.
38:19
She's too nice.
38:20
But it was definitely coned off and you
38:23
were not to go past an area.
38:29
As a coach,
38:30
I've learned you sometimes have to treat
38:31
members like children,
38:32
tell them where they can and can't go.
38:34
There are no excuses.
38:38
That's a fact.
38:40
Hey, man, don't do that.
38:44
Right.
38:49
I don't know if you saw this new
38:50
event that Xenom added.
38:53
I didn't see a single Xenom event.
38:55
I followed them, but for whatever reason,
38:57
they're not popping up in my feed.
38:59
Have you seen this?
39:01
You have to throw as many human bodies
39:03
as you can for time.
39:05
Nice.
39:06
Have you seen this?
39:07
No, I have not, but I am in.
39:14
This is actually an official Guinness Book
39:16
of World Records.
39:18
Dude, why wouldn't it be?
39:22
So let me ask you this.
39:23
Is there just a big long line,
39:24
or are those guys just making a circle
39:26
and coming back and throwing them again?
39:28
I think they circle around and get thrown
39:30
again.
39:31
Yes.
39:31
Yep, there they go.
39:33
You know what this woman would be good
39:34
at?
39:36
Throwing people out that cross the yellow
39:38
line when you're recording an open
39:40
workout.
39:41
A hundred percent.
39:42
I'd hire her for that.
39:45
Dude, that looks fun as shit.
39:46
Yeah.
39:51
And she gets some sugar after.
39:52
So what did you do today?
39:56
I got tossed by a German woman.
40:00
You did what?
40:01
You heard me.
40:04
How many times?
40:05
I love the cautionary signs in the back.
40:08
Yeah, that's fantastic.
40:10
That is fantastic.
40:13
This looks like,
40:13
I understand that this is actual Guinness
40:15
thing, but it looks like a game show.
40:18
It looks like something they would do like
40:19
on physical one hundred or something like
40:20
that.
40:22
And next up on a physical one hundred.
40:28
Well,
40:28
I want to like for the Guinness Book
40:29
of World Records,
40:30
does each person have to weigh between one
40:34
twenty, one forty or?
40:37
They have to have some sort of weight
40:39
category.
40:39
Like you have to, it's probably,
40:41
it's probably just a minimum.
40:44
Right.
40:44
So yeah, you take an average,
40:47
you want to make it like right at
40:49
the minimum, right?
40:51
I want to throw a hundred, uh, uh,
40:57
Rebecca fuselage.
40:58
Like that's, that's where that's wrong.
41:00
That's where I'm at right now.
41:01
Or, Oh, what's that?
41:02
Uh,
41:02
the one that did the world record Fran,
41:04
like of all time, uh, Marissa flowers.
41:07
I want to throw.
41:09
Yeah.
41:09
How many, how,
41:10
how fast can I throw a hundred Marissa
41:12
flowers?
41:15
I've seen bouncers on Bourbon Street do
41:17
that.
41:17
Yeah.
41:17
Yeah, a hundred percent.
41:20
She could be the Royal Rumble winner.
41:23
I love how prepared she was too.
41:25
Elbow wraps, belt, et cetera.
41:27
And she did it purely for the love
41:28
of the game.
41:30
Mike,
41:30
that was not her first time doing that,
41:32
brother.
41:32
I'm going to tell you that right now.
41:33
That was not, that was not a,
41:36
that's not a one-off.
41:37
She didn't like roll up that name.
41:39
Like,
41:39
you know what I feel like doing today?
41:41
How many dudes we got over here that
41:43
weigh, hmm,
41:44
about a hundred and twenty-five pounds?
41:46
Can you imagine the Craigslist ad?
41:49
Woman seeking man,
41:51
ten men at one hundred and twenty-five
41:53
pounds.
41:55
Between one twenty-five and one hundred
41:57
and thirty-five pounds.
41:59
No weirdos.
42:01
In for a good time.
42:03
Yeah.
42:04
No weirdos.
42:08
And no, even better.
42:10
Woman seeking ten men between one hundred
42:11
twenty five hundred thirty five pounds for
42:13
Guinness World Record attempt.
42:17
No weirdos, please.
42:18
Some people pay a lot of money to
42:20
have that done to them.
42:22
Absolutely.
42:24
Absolutely.
42:25
Yeah,
42:26
that's that's another building on Bourbon
42:27
Street.
42:28
It is.
42:29
It's it's on one side of the of
42:31
the street.
42:31
Oh, one side of the quarter.
42:33
I should say not the other one.
42:35
Oh, that is fantastic, baby.
42:40
Imagine her in any situation then in
42:42
public,
42:42
just constantly sizing up bystanders.
42:45
Like, yeah,
42:47
all you would get yeeted nicely.
42:50
I get yeet every single one of y'all
42:53
quick too.
42:56
Holy smokes.
43:00
That's fantastic.
43:02
I dove down the biggest rabbit hole I've
43:05
ever dove down yesterday and
43:06
After watching that video,
43:08
I can understand how you would.
43:14
Totally different.
43:15
This was bad.
43:16
Segway bags.
43:17
Do you know who Jim or say is,
43:21
Oh, that name sounds so familiar.
43:25
So he was the owner of the Indianapolis
43:27
Colts.
43:27
Okay.
43:29
And he passed away last in twenty twenty
43:32
five.
43:33
He had like the world's biggest private
43:36
collection of pop culture memorabilia.
43:41
And he spent his money.
43:44
And he was a big music fan.
43:45
He was in a band, played guitar,
43:49
all the stuff was kids.
43:52
Didn't need to keep all this stuff that
43:54
he had collected over the years.
43:56
So they put it all up for auction.
44:02
So I watched day one of this three
44:04
day auction and I'll probably watch the
44:06
other two.
44:08
The stuff this guy had and the amount
44:10
of money that was paid for it was
44:14
blowing my mind.
44:16
I can't even.
44:18
And basically what I was doing was playing
44:20
Price is Right.
44:23
Like they would put the item up and
44:24
I'd go, oh, that's going for three mil.
44:27
That's a three million dollar price.
44:30
And I was really,
44:31
really bad at the game.
44:34
Dude, that sounds amazing,
44:37
if I'm being honest.
44:38
And they had like...
44:40
Was it a Mecham auction or just a
44:42
private type deal?
44:43
It was Christie's Auction House in New
44:45
York City.
44:45
Okay, that makes sense.
44:47
And so, yeah,
44:49
nobody got the one dollar bid.
44:51
No, not a single...
44:53
What I also learned in this whole thing
44:55
is the haves have a lot.
44:57
Oh, yeah.
44:58
And us have-nots really have nothing.
45:01
Yeah,
45:01
when they're standing there with that
45:02
paddle and they just...
45:04
And it's up to like two hundred fifty
45:06
grand and it's going.
45:11
I love that you use a Theragun as
45:12
your paddle.
45:13
I mean,
45:13
it's the only thing I had handy.
45:17
But you know what I'm saying?
45:18
That just goes to two hundred grand.
45:21
Yeah.
45:24
No, I'm going to need that.
45:26
And it's probably something ridiculous.
45:27
Right.
45:28
Right.
45:29
So they had David Gilmour's guitar from
45:31
Pink Floyd.
45:33
And it is the most expensive guitar in
45:35
the world.
45:36
Whenever it goes to auction,
45:37
it has a crazy story behind it where
45:42
Pink Floyd's gear got stolen and this was
45:44
the guitar he bought.
45:46
So like his first guitar after his stuff
45:48
got stolen and Fender repainted it for him
45:51
and the old paint bled through so it
45:53
has this weird look to it.
45:56
Twelve point one million dollars.
46:01
for a guitar that they're not going to
46:03
play let's be honest they might they
46:07
probably won't even display it it's going
46:09
to be in a safe somewhere why because
46:12
it's twelve point five million dollars our
46:15
resident collector was sweating more
46:17
watching than a crossfit workout knowing i
46:19
didn't have a chance yeah ken wasn't in
46:22
the back with the two with the two
46:23
fifty going
46:25
So he had the drum head from the
46:29
bass drum of Ringo Starr's drum kit from
46:33
the night they played on Ed Sullivan for
46:35
the first time in their first appearance
46:37
in America.
46:38
Jesus Christ.
46:41
But here's the one I wanted.
46:44
He has the handwritten script for Rocky.
46:49
Oh, wow.
46:50
It is in a Mead ring-bound notebook,
46:55
and it was Stallone's handwritten script
46:59
for the first Rocky.
47:01
Is it legible?
47:02
I always wonder about stuff like that.
47:04
What does Stallone's handwriting look
47:05
like?
47:05
They did not open it up to show
47:07
you.
47:07
I think that would have been dangerous,
47:10
like losing pages or...
47:13
I'm sure someone has looked to verify it
47:15
all.
47:15
But on the TV,
47:18
they did not show it.
47:20
But they showed the cover.
47:22
And it looks like someone in sixth grade's
47:25
notebook that's all ratty on the edges.
47:27
Yeah,
47:27
because I could just hold up this and
47:29
be like, hey,
47:30
I got this script for Rocky II right
47:31
here.
47:31
It looks like that only in red.
47:33
Yeah.
47:34
I got this script for Rocky II right
47:36
here.
47:37
And I'll take five million dollars for it.
47:40
How about that?
47:43
Well,
47:43
I thought it would go for a lot
47:44
more than it did.
47:45
It only went for four hundred grand.
47:47
Really?
47:48
Like I should have jumped in.
47:50
You should have.
47:51
You should have.
47:52
Ken was probably chomping at the bit at
47:53
that point.
47:54
He had the robe that Muhammad Ali wore
48:02
the first time he was Muhammad Ali.
48:05
After he changed his name from Cassius
48:07
Clay to Muhammad Ali,
48:09
the robe he wore the first fight publicly,
48:16
everything had a story to it.
48:19
It was this unique thing.
48:22
He had the handwritten lyrics from Bob
48:24
Dylan's These Times They Are Changing.
48:30
You need the handwritten lyrics because
48:31
you can't understand a word Bob's saying,
48:33
so that's fair.
48:38
Like a Gretzky jersey from when he
48:40
clinched the Stanley Cup in game seven and
48:44
when he was with the Edmonton Oilers.
48:46
Where do they get that stuff?
48:48
Like,
48:48
how does that end up in somebody's
48:50
collection?
48:53
The funniest story was there was a Clapton
48:55
guitar that was hand-painted to look like
48:58
it had been done by a Dutch impressionist.
49:01
They call it the Fool.
49:03
And he played it when he was with
49:04
Cream.
49:06
somehow it went from him to todd rungren
49:10
who played it on his albums and then
49:12
eventually in this guy's collection let me
49:17
get that guitar off you todd the crazy
49:21
part about that kind of stuff is like
49:22
it's probably somebody's like todd rungren
49:25
just that was the last person who had
49:27
it right and then somebody probably got it
49:29
from him because he didn't need it anymore
49:31
because he's got god only knows how many
49:33
guitars right and he's like yeah whatever
49:35
i got this from
49:38
And it just went, I got, yeah,
49:39
I got this from Eric and probably insane.
49:41
And then six months later, Hey,
49:44
when you said you got this from Eric,
49:45
did you meet Eric Clapton?
49:46
It was like, yeah,
49:47
because they don't think of people in
49:50
that.
49:51
Like if you were friends with Eric
49:53
Clapton,
49:53
you don't think of him necessarily as Eric
49:55
Clapton.
49:55
You think of him as Eric.
49:57
Does that make sense?
49:58
Yeah.
50:00
And at the time he probably,
50:02
he was not as legendary as he is
50:04
now.
50:06
So it was probably even less of a
50:07
thing.
50:08
And just over time,
50:09
as that builds up now,
50:10
all of a sudden you got Eric Clapton's
50:14
guitar.
50:15
Yeah.
50:17
So funny off off subject story,
50:20
Eric Clapton has a house here in Columbus.
50:23
His wife is a native of Columbus, Ohio.
50:28
When we were having my daughter is when
50:31
his wife was pregnant with their child.
50:36
we had Lamaze on Wednesday night.
50:39
They had it on Tuesday night.
50:40
We were that close to having Lamaze class
50:44
with Eric Clapton.
50:46
Yeah.
50:49
I've never met him.
50:50
It just was like, it could have, if,
50:54
you know, if y'all had been like, Oh,
50:56
let's do it on Tuesday instead of doing
50:58
it on Wednesday.
51:00
Also you walk in, he's like, is that,
51:02
Eric Clapton?
51:05
Yeah.
51:08
Oh, I was just working out with Dick.
51:10
Oh, sorry.
51:11
You probably only know him as Rich
51:12
Froning.
51:13
My bad.
51:13
Yeah.
51:18
If you've never met Rich Froning,
51:19
I met him one time.
51:20
He's the nicest guy on the planet.
51:23
He really is.
51:25
He really is.
51:28
The one time, and this was forever ago,
51:30
he came speak at a church that I
51:32
was going to at the time.
51:33
And what struck me the most is that
51:36
he introduced himself.
51:37
He didn't take for granted everybody knew
51:38
who he was.
51:40
Hey, man, I'm Rich.
51:42
And he was like, no,
51:44
you say your name.
51:46
He said that to me, and I'm like,
51:50
yeah, I know who you are.
51:51
Yeah, a hundred percent.
51:52
Yeah, dude, I know who you are.
51:53
Yeah.
51:55
Yeah.
51:58
But, like,
51:58
you are coached by Brandon Luckett.
52:03
And you don't even think of him as,
52:04
like,
52:05
games athlete Brandon Luckett anymore,
52:06
right?
52:07
It's just Brandon.
52:08
It's just Brandon.
52:09
When I worked out with Christy every day,
52:11
it was, it's just Christy.
52:13
It's not.
52:15
Speaking of my coach, right quick, like,
52:16
why would you mention that?
52:18
He's the world right now.
52:19
That's pretty cool.
52:25
considering his wife made him,
52:26
Kristen made him sign up.
52:28
He's like,
52:30
I guess I'm doing these workouts.
52:31
Kristen made me sign up for the opening.
52:33
Forty-first in the world.
52:35
It's ridiculous.
52:42
Ken,
52:43
I think I'm a big shot when I
52:44
sell a big item of mine,
52:46
like the signed Kendall Gill Supersonics
52:48
warm-up jacket last month for seven point
52:50
three grand.
52:52
Then you get these items.
52:54
It's crazy.
52:57
Yeah,
52:59
I sold off all of my signed helmets
53:01
and a lot of my stuff to pay
53:04
for a camera to be a media guy
53:06
in CrossFit.
53:08
And I didn't get anything like even what
53:12
Ken's talking about.
53:15
Sacrifices we make.
53:16
Yeah.
53:20
Mike DeVito met him at a meet and
53:21
greet with Rich,
53:23
so it wasn't random or anything,
53:25
but he legit seemed very authentic.
53:29
Not an Eagles, though.
53:31
He's not an Eagles fan.
53:32
Eagles fan, though, but I let it slide.
53:34
Go, birds.
53:40
So what vote do we give the open?
53:42
Sorry if you've already talked about that.
53:52
I give it an A.
53:57
I could be real nitpicky if I wanted
53:58
to be, right?
54:00
If you really want to get in.
54:01
But is he open about being nitpicky?
54:03
But that's going to be my next point.
54:06
It's really not.
54:08
It's really not.
54:09
It served its purpose.
54:11
It did.
54:12
And it was very, very much like...
54:17
opens of the past it would similar style
54:21
workout similar like can't breathe workout
54:24
similar like and i thought the
54:28
announcements were all great yeah the
54:31
lineups they had other than dave stumbling
54:33
over this last workout and confusing the
54:36
world that was funny but again it's it's
54:39
a memorable piece because you can talk
54:41
about it and even though it was a
54:43
mess up it's a mess up that makes
54:46
it memorable
54:48
Yeah.
54:49
I gave myself Fran long Friday night.
54:52
Probably not going to forget that anytime
54:53
soon.
54:56
They are what they are.
54:57
Dave said yesterday,
55:00
that was one of the things he said
55:01
on the show.
55:01
He's like, if I'm not pissing people off,
55:03
I'm really not doing my job.
55:06
And it's the open.
55:10
And like he said,
55:11
ninety eight percent of the people aren't
55:13
moving on to to be a games athlete
55:17
of any kind.
55:17
Right.
55:18
And this is for the affiliates and it's
55:22
for them to do.
55:25
It's for them to do it as a
55:26
community.
55:27
It's not for the big athletes at this
55:29
point.
55:31
Right.
55:32
And I think with that perspective,
55:34
it was a great open.
55:37
Yeah, I would agree to that.
55:39
I know from my experience in my affiliate,
55:43
everybody had fun.
55:44
It felt like the old open.
55:46
Everybody bitched about the workout before
55:47
it started, got it done,
55:49
slapped some hands, did some high fives.
55:51
We had people,
55:53
a real good friend of mine is actually
55:55
a member of the month right now.
55:56
He's only been here two years.
55:58
He was able to RX all three of
55:59
them.
56:01
Right.
56:01
And that's kind of a big deal.
56:02
Like, Holy smokes.
56:04
Did he just RX all three workouts?
56:05
Like that's, that's pretty fantastic.
56:08
Um, so that's an accomplishment.
56:09
Right.
56:09
And it was actually his first open ever.
56:13
Um,
56:15
it felt like it did when I first
56:17
started.
56:18
And I think that's a special thing in
56:19
and of itself.
56:21
Mark Phillips, twelve minutes,
56:22
fifteen minutes,
56:23
sixteen minutes would have liked a shorter
56:25
or longer for one of those.
56:27
But it was fine.
56:28
I don't think you can go longer than
56:29
that and make it a class workout and
56:33
shorter.
56:35
You only get three weeks.
56:36
If it was a five week open,
56:38
you could do a short workout.
56:40
But I think with a three week workout,
56:42
you have to keep it in that range.
56:44
I think they were all very different
56:47
aerobic tests.
56:49
because of just the skills that are
56:52
required.
56:55
That lunge workout with the increasing
56:57
gymnastics,
56:59
if you sprinted that and you weren't an
57:01
elite athlete,
57:02
you were just going to stand there and
57:03
stare at rings.
57:05
It had to be paced differently,
57:07
where the first one was more of a,
57:11
let's sprint and see where we can get
57:13
to.
57:14
And the last one was,
57:15
let's pace it or we're going to die.
57:20
So I think even though they were all
57:22
similar minutes,
57:23
they all took a different strategic look
57:26
for the common gym goer.
57:28
For the common gym goer and for the
57:31
higher level athletes,
57:31
they're different workouts.
57:35
For the elites, the elite elites,
57:37
twenty six point two was how fast can
57:39
you do twenty ring muscle ups for time?
57:42
That's what that's what it comes down to
57:45
for the rest of us.
57:46
It's do I have ring muscle ups?
57:48
Do I have them when I'm tired?
57:49
How many can I do when I'm tired?
57:51
Can I maybe finish this in, you know,
57:55
twelve to fifteen minutes somewhere up in
57:56
that in that window?
58:00
The last one too,
58:01
how much do I know about pacing?
58:02
How much do I know about myself to
58:04
know where I can get,
58:05
how I can pace this out,
58:07
be smart about it?
58:09
I said it on Friday after I got
58:10
announced that this was more of a mental
58:12
thing than it was physical at that point.
58:14
Everybody can do thrusters.
58:15
Everybody can do burpees.
58:17
Even on the heavier side of the thrusters,
58:19
most people can get at least or at
58:22
least do one or two set reps at
58:25
that higher weight.
58:26
Can you do it when you're tired?
58:27
Can you get there?
58:30
to do it can you get there with
58:32
enough energy to do it like uh lito
58:35
says everyone at our affiliate felt like
58:38
it was hard and challenging as it should
58:40
be and i haven't heard any complaints from
58:41
the vast majority of people doing it there
58:44
you go same um cows and crossfit we
58:48
had a lot of people do rx this
58:51
year up until the point they couldn't do
58:53
anymore our gym liked it yeah
58:58
yeah i think it's um yeah and peter
59:00
benoit is asking if quarters have to be
59:02
done in affiliates yes yes they do um
59:10
so daniel arnson are y'all going to
59:14
syndicate my plan is to go to syndicate
59:18
um i just have to
59:24
My wife wants to go see my daughter.
59:25
I want to go see my daughter.
59:27
We just have to figure out when we're
59:28
going to do that in conjunction with that.
59:33
I mean,
59:33
you could get a ride to syndicate at
59:34
this point.
59:35
A good dude that runs it lives down
59:36
the street from your house.
59:38
Yeah,
59:38
but my guess is he's going to be
59:39
there a lot longer than I want to
59:40
be there.
59:41
Probably so.
59:45
Probably so.
59:49
But yeah,
59:50
my hope is to go this year to
59:51
that.
59:53
It's drivable.
59:55
