Lunch with the Clydesdale - Who should take the L-2??? · Clydesdale Media Podcast

0:03
What is going on, everybody?
0:04
We got live college playoff football
0:07
tonight.
0:09
Next.
0:21
I love the chase and the hunt,
0:22
and I set the pace when I'm running.
0:24
I always take what I want,
0:25
and I always give it one hundred.
0:27
Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.
0:28
Play the game like it's nothing.
0:30
I'm always thankful for something.
0:31
Don't take for granted, stay humble.
0:33
Now wake up!
0:34
It's time to look at the enemy.
0:36
Look in the mirror if he is no
0:38
friend to me.
0:39
It's not working out,
0:41
maybe it's the chemistry.
0:42
It's time to break up so I can
0:44
make a better me.
0:44
Eeeeee, abadaba!
0:49
it's lunch time what is going on everybody
0:53
welcome to lunch with the clydesdale
0:56
Cowboys back for a second day.
0:58
We're going to talk about some CrossFit
1:00
stuff,
1:01
but I want to start it off with
1:02
Ole Miss Miami tonight, seven thirty p.m.
1:06
First playoff game of eight this weekend.
1:09
Win or go home games from tonight through
1:14
Monday and the Ole Miss running rebels
1:18
minus Lane Kiffin.
1:21
are still alive in the final four of
1:23
the college football playoffs.
1:25
Lane's sitting there in LSU trying to muck
1:27
up the system and take coaches back and
1:31
do all this stuff.
1:32
And I think all it's doing is galvanizing
1:35
the Ole Miss team to say, hey,
1:37
we can do this without you.
1:40
Look, more power to them.
1:43
More power to them.
1:44
It's an SEC school.
1:45
That's all I care about right now.
1:47
So good on them.
1:49
I hope they do well.
1:50
I hope they win every single down.
1:55
I hope they score plenty of touchdowns and
1:57
win the game.
1:57
Good for them.
1:59
Mark Phillips says, what a mucker.
2:03
Yeah, I, it is so like,
2:06
I know the schedule,
2:07
it makes things like impossible in this
2:09
situation,
2:11
but the reality of the situation is lane
2:13
goes to LSU because he says LSU gives
2:16
them a better chance to win a national
2:18
championship.
2:19
And the team he left is sitting in
2:22
the final four and,
2:26
and they're the higher ranked team in this
2:27
game tonight that goes to the national
2:30
championship game.
2:33
It's insanity.
2:35
College football has flipped on its head.
2:37
There's no Alabama.
2:38
There's no Ohio State.
2:39
There's no Clemson.
2:40
There's none of those traditional big-time
2:43
schools in the finals.
2:46
And I think it's awesome.
2:47
None of the guys that have been hanging
2:49
around like the past however many years
2:52
you want to put on it.
2:52
I mean, Ohio State's always up there.
2:55
Alabama, obviously, this century,
2:58
you would say,
2:59
since the early two thousand,
3:00
since basically since Saban got there,
3:02
turned their program completely around and
3:05
turned them into what they are now.
3:08
They're out, which in my opinion,
3:10
they never should have been there in the
3:10
first place.
3:12
So take that for what it is.
3:16
Georgia also been dominant,
3:18
super dominant out.
3:21
And it's funny to me to watch the
3:24
people comment on Instagram and whatnot.
3:28
Oh, the SEC, it just means more.
3:31
as if for the last fifteen years SEC
3:33
hasn't been the absolute dominant force on
3:36
the in the college football just landscape
3:39
like yeah dude the last two years it's
3:41
been a couple down years congratulations
3:43
you guys are winning stuff good for you
3:47
without acknowledging the fact that it's
3:50
been SEC SEC SEC SEC SEC yeah
3:54
Jay Birch, a century.
3:55
Yes.
3:56
This century is only a couple decades old.
4:00
Yeah, this century.
4:01
That's what I meant.
4:02
Yeah, since the two thousands.
4:04
So just to clarify,
4:06
the two thousands are only twenty five
4:09
years old.
4:10
Right.
4:10
So I understand, Birch,
4:12
because in my head,
4:14
nineteen ninety five is still fifteen
4:16
years ago, but it's not.
4:17
Yeah.
4:20
So I understand that.
4:22
But it had we did turn a century
4:24
whenever we knew Y to K,
4:27
that whole thing.
4:29
So tonight we have the team that got
4:31
spurned by its head coach versus the team
4:34
that was said they shouldn't be in the
4:36
playoffs and Notre Dame should be there
4:38
instead.
4:39
even though they beat Notre Dame.
4:42
And then tomorrow night we have Mark Cuban
4:44
money versus Nike money.
4:47
My money's on Mark Cuban.
4:51
My money's on Mark Cuban at this point.
4:53
Dude, Kurt Cignetti is awesome.
4:56
He is fantastic.
4:58
All the highlights of him at press
5:02
conferences and stuff like that,
5:03
he's like, I'm a winner.
5:05
Google me.
5:07
That's one of the coldest things I've ever
5:09
heard a coach say in the past fifteen,
5:11
twenty years at least.
5:14
At least.
5:16
David Reed, Corey,
5:17
we're no longer friends.
5:21
Clock cutter.
5:22
SEC has overrated.
5:23
All the fans have left.
5:24
It's Alabama from a decade ago.
5:27
It's really been a big ten couple years,
5:30
man.
5:31
michigan ohio state winning national
5:33
titles two big ten schools in the final
5:35
four and i live in big ten country
5:38
penn state is a big ten school i'm
5:40
a big ten guy you're an sec guy
5:42
um and that is they're the two best
5:44
conferences in the country and they're but
5:48
i am anxious to see what this whole
5:50
new college football looks like with all
5:52
the money coming in
5:54
Because if you can flip Indiana around
5:57
from where they were two years ago with
5:59
Cuban money, crazy.
6:03
Absolutely.
6:05
Absolutely.
6:06
Absolutely.
6:07
I mean,
6:08
the timeline on the whole Indiana thing
6:11
is, first of all,
6:12
Indiana has been a basketball school.
6:15
I'm forty-eight years old.
6:16
I didn't even know Indiana had a football
6:18
team.
6:20
Indiana's a basketball school.
6:22
Hoosiers.
6:23
It's a whole ass movie about what?
6:26
Indiana basketball.
6:28
Yep.
6:29
The only reason I knew Indiana had a
6:30
football team is it was like a warm-up
6:32
game for the bigger games in the Big
6:34
Ten.
6:36
And now it's not.
6:37
Now it's,
6:38
you're going to get punched in the mouth.
6:39
Yeah, it's going to happen.
6:42
It's going to happen.
6:44
Jody's sister went to the University of
6:45
Indiana.
6:46
Oh, there you go.
6:48
The next few years for us,
6:49
you are looking rough.
6:50
Sig is recruiting real talent.
6:52
They will win the natty with low talent.
6:54
Imagine what they will do with talent.
6:56
Yeah.
6:58
And dude,
6:59
those checks from Cuban are rolling in.
7:02
Holy crap, man.
7:04
It changes everything.
7:05
Texas Tech and the oil money,
7:07
Cuban and his money, Nike.
7:09
It's going to be Oregon and Texas Tech
7:12
and Indiana.
7:13
They're going to be major players in this
7:15
thing.
7:17
We got chicken finger money down here.
7:19
Chicken finger and ambulance chaser,
7:26
injury lawyer.
7:26
That's what I was looking for.
7:27
Personal injury lawyer money.
7:31
um uh anderson i think they should make
7:34
different ncaa divisions depending on how
7:35
much nil money a school has it will
7:38
come to a point where there are maybe
7:40
a dozen schools that run everything due to
7:41
the money but andrew we were coming out
7:44
of an era where it was a dozen
7:45
schools that ran everything because of
7:47
their history and their name and the money
7:49
because they had the best facilities
7:51
Like Alabama's facility is off the chain.
7:55
LSU's facilities are off the chain.
7:57
That's how they were recruiting all the
7:59
best kids.
8:00
And they were able to make them take
8:02
the step to the NFL.
8:04
That's why people went there.
8:06
It's just the money has changed to where
8:09
now you can directly recruit and pay the
8:11
players to come to your school.
8:13
So it's not like...
8:17
I would say there's actually more parity
8:19
now with the Wild Wild West than there
8:22
was five years ago with LSU and Alabama
8:26
and Ohio State and Clemson.
8:28
There was really only four schools that
8:30
could win it every year.
8:32
If you saw the,
8:33
or at least part of the Coach O
8:35
interview,
8:36
or one of the Coach O interviews from
8:37
a couple weeks ago or whatnot, he said,
8:39
the only difference now is that we used
8:41
to bring the money in through the back
8:42
door,
8:43
and now we can bring the money in
8:44
through the front door.
8:45
He said that's the main difference as far
8:47
as that goes.
8:51
Phil Knight has more money than Cuban and
8:53
has made it his life goal to have
8:54
Ducks win the national championship,
8:56
and he's only running out of days.
9:00
Here's the thing.
9:01
You're absolutely right.
9:02
He one hundred percent has done that and
9:04
they still have not done it yet.
9:08
Understand, as always, disagrees with me.
9:11
But that's why I love him, man,
9:13
because we can have these discussions.
9:20
If you are a non-revenue sports athlete,
9:22
the best option is to not go to
9:24
a power five school unless the Olympics
9:26
are in your future.
9:27
Scholarships are yearly now.
9:30
If that dude, like I keep in like,
9:33
you know,
9:33
a couple of the LSU pages that I
9:35
follow on Instagram,
9:36
then they're updating as we get people
9:38
signed in, which is, it,
9:41
it looks like a transfer wire,
9:42
which is what it is,
9:43
but like for the NFL or professional
9:45
baseball or whatever else,
9:46
like it's the off season and, oh,
9:48
we signed this person.
9:49
Oh, we signed this person.
9:50
That was never a thing.
9:53
If you transfer it in,
9:54
you had to sit out a year.
9:55
Yeah.
9:57
Well,
9:58
I think that's enough of the college
9:59
football talk.
9:59
We'll get into some CrossFit stuff because
10:01
we have a lot on the docket today.
10:03
Don't forget to like and subscribe to the
10:05
channel.
10:06
But I will be watching the game tonight
10:09
and the game tomorrow night and all the
10:10
games over the weekend.
10:13
I wanted to start with,
10:14
I texted you last night.
10:17
CrossFit put out a video of James Sprague
10:19
taking his L-tube.
10:22
which I still did not get a chance
10:23
to watch it, but it is,
10:24
it is awesome because it's a great
10:27
illustration of what the L two is about,
10:29
I believe.
10:31
And, um,
10:32
and James is very open to being, um,
10:36
constructively criticized over his
10:39
coaching.
10:39
And so I'm just going to share like
10:41
a ten second piece of this.
10:43
So you can kind of get an idea
10:45
of how the L two went for James.
10:54
They're better trainers.
10:55
Now we're not going to get the perfect
10:56
position with low load.
10:58
So just do your best here.
11:00
What I want you guys to go through
11:02
here.
11:02
Okay, pause.
11:02
Take a breath, my friend.
11:03
Most people forget to drive.
11:05
What they do is they... Okay, okay, pause,
11:07
pause.
11:08
In life,
11:08
do you feel like you talk a lot
11:09
or too little?
11:11
I talk way too much.
11:12
Yep.
11:13
It's a challenging and sometimes a scary
11:16
environment for people.
11:17
But everybody who shows up at these
11:19
courses are remarkable.
11:20
For the front rack position,
11:22
with a strict press,
11:23
you're actually going to keep your elbows
11:24
a little bit lower.
11:25
So what I want to see,
11:27
instead of pressing your elbows through as
11:28
much as you can,
11:30
find that hybrid position where your
11:31
elbows.
11:31
So if the floor is there.
11:33
your forearm is there so let me see
11:36
that good for our position okay pause i
11:39
want to say first i'm still going to
11:42
say that was ninety seconds to say get
11:44
your elbows under the car so that was
11:52
awesome um so awesome to kind of watch
11:58
him go through that and and i know
12:00
when i first started coaching i was a
12:01
blabbermouth
12:03
Like I wanted to hit all the points,
12:04
right, all the points.
12:06
And she's like, ninety seconds to say,
12:09
get your elbows under the bar.
12:12
I check myself,
12:14
especially with new people when I'm
12:16
coaching,
12:16
because I will do the same thing.
12:18
And I will stop and say, look,
12:20
I know I'm throwing a whole lot of
12:21
information at you right now.
12:23
Let me back up.
12:24
And we're just going to this is the
12:26
only thing we're going to focus on right
12:27
now.
12:29
That for me, that works a whole lot.
12:31
Like, Hey, well, let me stop.
12:33
Cause I know I just threw, you know,
12:35
I said,
12:36
different words that maybe five of them
12:39
made sense.
12:41
Let me back up a little bit and
12:43
let's, let's,
12:44
let's break this down and get it to
12:46
what's the most base thing that's gonna
12:47
help you right this second.
12:49
And then we can move on from there.
12:52
Yeah.
12:52
So that part of the video is the
12:53
beginning of day one.
12:55
And it goes all the way through day
12:57
two.
12:58
And then there's a dramatic difference in
13:00
the way James coaches from the beginning
13:03
of day one until you get to the
13:05
end of day two.
13:06
And he even says at the end,
13:07
like I came in thinking like I knew
13:09
a lot.
13:10
And at the end of the weekend,
13:12
like I had a lot to learn.
13:14
Yeah.
13:17
If you've not seen it,
13:18
it's on the CrossFit YouTube channel.
13:21
Go check it out.
13:22
It's only ten minutes long,
13:24
but it's jacked full of really cool
13:27
moments.
13:28
And I think they did an excellent job
13:32
putting this out.
13:35
I can't wait.
13:36
I'm going to do mine when my L-One
13:39
expires in October.
13:42
So I'm going to sign up and get
13:43
mine renewed and go ahead and do that.
13:45
It's going to be great.
13:47
I'm like,
13:47
I'm kind of bummed because my L-One
13:49
expired eight days ago.
13:52
Nope.
13:54
eight days ago.
13:55
And I, and I feel like,
13:59
I feel like a little piece of me
14:00
is missing now,
14:02
even though I don't use it at all.
14:04
Like I don't judge anymore.
14:06
I don't coach anymore.
14:07
I don't do any of those things.
14:12
But I,
14:12
so I couldn't justify paying the thousand
14:15
dollars to,
14:16
to like do it again,
14:18
because I've done it twice.
14:19
I've had my one since twenty fifteen.
14:22
It's twenty twenty five now.
14:24
So I had it for ten years and
14:26
now all of a sudden I don't have
14:27
it and it just feels weird.
14:30
So I am fairly certain that you could
14:33
have gotten your L two or you still
14:35
can, because you already have your L one.
14:37
Like you don't have to go do redo
14:38
your L one.
14:39
You can just go take that.
14:41
You can just go take the L two
14:42
now.
14:43
Um, which even though you're not coaching,
14:45
like I'm,
14:46
I'm certain it would still help you as
14:49
an athlete.
14:51
Right.
14:53
cues, whatnot,
14:54
things you don't think about necessarily
14:56
being able to move and whatnot.
14:59
It's pretty good stuff.
15:00
And yes, Ken Walters.
15:03
Yeah.
15:05
I mean, it could be,
15:06
it could have been a tax deduction,
15:07
but like,
15:08
I need to spend my money on this
15:10
venture.
15:11
What I'm doing now,
15:12
make sure like you have microphones like
15:15
Carolyn and Jamie are set up all of
15:18
those types of things.
15:19
And that's where my priority is because I
15:22
don't need an L one to do media.
15:24
And I have the knowledge.
15:25
I took the course twice,
15:27
passed it both times.
15:28
Right.
15:29
Um,
15:33
Jody,
15:34
it would be a tax deduction for me
15:36
because it would be a business expense.
15:38
It would be related to what we do
15:39
here.
15:40
I could talk about it,
15:42
things of that nature.
15:43
For the money I get paid to coach,
15:53
I get whatever tax form it is at
15:55
the end of the year as an independent,
15:57
you know,
16:02
What I did,
16:02
I didn't realize that I could write off
16:05
so much stuff to kind of offset that
16:07
thing because I'm, you know,
16:10
in addition to my actual job,
16:12
I have another job, which is coaching.
16:14
So like my registration fees, shoes,
16:20
grips, like pick a thing.
16:23
If it's CrossFit related,
16:24
it is helping me become a better coach.
16:26
Therefore, I can write it off.
16:27
It's fantastic.
16:30
Yeah.
16:30
Ten ninety nine.
16:31
Everybody's saying you can write off so
16:32
many things.
16:33
Thank you.
16:35
You don't work.
16:45
Bite it, CJ.
16:48
Yeah.
16:48
Oh, that's correct for you.
16:50
It's a tax deduction.
16:51
Not for me.
16:51
I get it.
16:51
Yes.
16:53
Yeah.
16:53
I don't know how you would correlate to
16:54
now one to cabinet making selling.
16:57
Probably probably not.
17:01
Probably not.
17:02
I mean, you could write,
17:03
you could figure some stuff out.
17:07
So to answer Andrew's question,
17:08
do those write-offs actually do a lot?
17:12
I don't know yet.
17:13
Because last year I didn't.
17:15
Right.
17:16
And it affected our tax return because it
17:18
was, I mean, I just get paid.
17:20
Like I don't know what taxes get taken
17:22
out of them whenever they write me a
17:23
check.
17:25
But I have a very good friend of
17:26
mine who has been telling me more than
17:31
once, like, dude,
17:32
write down everything you do.
17:34
You know, you have,
17:35
I got digital receipts for everything he
17:38
said,
17:38
and it's going to make a difference at
17:39
the end of the year.
17:40
So we'll find out here shortly.
17:42
Yeah.
17:42
Like,
17:46
For my business, the media business,
17:48
I write off everything.
17:51
My travel to Knoxville to go to Syndicate,
17:54
all that, the gas, the mileage,
17:56
all that kind of stuff.
17:59
Mileage is huge for events.
18:01
Plane tickets, hotels, whatever it takes.
18:04
Yeah.
18:06
I got all of that this year.
18:08
I got two travels, one to Arizona,
18:12
one to Kansas City, Airbnbs.
18:15
I mean, food, picket, name a thing.
18:18
So pretty excited about that.
18:20
We'll see.
18:22
So the last little bit I want to
18:23
talk about with James is, you know,
18:25
him and Hopper and Dallin and Justin,
18:29
the boys interrupted are really like,
18:31
I think,
18:32
changing the face of the modern athlete.
18:35
And I think it's reverting back to that
18:37
old school approach where CrossFit and the
18:40
athletes are working hand in hand.
18:42
And I think what it's doing for them
18:45
and their
18:48
their gosh i don't know image their um
18:53
i know what you're getting across you know
18:57
what
18:58
they're getting more followers are getting
18:59
more like, because,
19:01
because of the partnership they're,
19:03
they're creating with CrossFit.
19:05
And I think it's really changing the game
19:06
for the modern athlete.
19:08
And if I'm an athlete and I'm watching
19:10
them do their thing and how much CrossFit
19:13
is using them in videos and exposure,
19:17
exposure was a word I was looking for.
19:20
But I think it's authentic.
19:21
It has to stay.
19:23
You can't be doing it just to get
19:24
exposure.
19:25
You have to be doing it because you
19:27
love doing this stuff.
19:28
And you could tell watching this video
19:30
that James was really excited about
19:32
learning more and becoming a better coach.
19:35
And I think that is really, really cool.
19:38
And if I'm an athlete,
19:40
I would look at this stuff going, man,
19:42
I need to do more of that instead
19:44
of hiding in my whole training all the
19:46
time.
19:46
Correct.
19:47
Yeah.
19:48
Well, so I think I feel like anyway,
19:51
part of the huge growth that we have
19:53
was that you could see these games
19:56
athletes,
19:56
you could see the Rich Fronings and the
19:58
Chris Spielers of the world and whatnot
19:59
out there doing their thing on the
20:00
competition floor.
20:01
And then you could also see them doling
20:04
out L ones being on seminar staff.
20:07
And that's a lot more relatable.
20:10
they're out there and they're actually in
20:12
the trenches in coaching and owning
20:14
affiliates and whatnot that's a whole lot
20:17
more relatable knowing that hey they can
20:18
they actually do both things at the time
20:21
so like james james getting his l too
20:23
that's a fantastic thing hey he's actually
20:25
a coach he's not just like you said
20:28
buried in his place doing his training
20:31
head down moving moving along and whatnot
20:34
he is he's more like one of us
20:36
he's more he's actually a normal dude
20:38
You know, he's got faults.
20:39
He's not fantastic at everything.
20:41
I mean, you just saw it.
20:42
She stopped him twice.
20:45
You know, twice just to let you know.
20:48
Yeah.
20:48
Oh, I bet.
20:51
James is like a giant puppy dog.
20:52
He's chasing a car the entire time.
20:55
And I just figured out, oh, shit,
20:58
I caught it.
20:59
I don't know what to do now.
21:00
But not just James.
21:00
Like,
21:01
Dallin went and did the military base
21:03
training with Dave and coached the
21:06
classes.
21:08
Yeah.
21:09
you know,
21:09
hoppers doing more and more media and
21:11
working with everybody.
21:12
Justin did those drop-ins all the way to
21:15
Waterpalooza where he stopped in at a
21:17
different affiliate the whole way on his
21:19
trip from,
21:21
was it Utah or Utah down to California?
21:25
Yeah.
21:25
Like that's awesome.
21:27
Like that's stuff that,
21:28
that you would see rich do.
21:30
And rich still does to this day.
21:32
Like he goes on a trip and he
21:33
stops in at mayhem affiliates along the
21:35
way.
21:36
They find they'll plan their trip
21:38
sometimes around that.
21:39
Hey, we're going to stop at this place,
21:41
you know,
21:42
so we'll stay here instead of there
21:43
because we can stop at this place since
21:45
they may have an affiliate.
21:45
Can you imagine just like going to your
21:48
regular eight o'clock class in the morning
21:50
and there's Rich Froning and Angelou and
21:53
whoever else is with them,
21:54
like just drop it in.
21:55
It's fantastic.
21:59
Well, you know,
22:00
I was thinking about it a little bit.
22:02
When Justin first came on in the twenty
22:04
twenty games and it was hanging on the
22:06
runs with Matt and all that stuff like
22:09
he was very likable.
22:10
Right.
22:11
Here's this kid coming out of nowhere
22:13
doing his thing.
22:14
And then he won.
22:15
And I found him not to be likable
22:17
anymore.
22:18
I feel like he kind of got in
22:20
his own head and like what he had
22:22
to do to retain the title.
22:24
And was he going to like go on
22:26
for years like Matt or.
22:29
And the thing was he never won events.
22:32
He never dominated the game.
22:33
So everything was like by a fine line.
22:37
Now he's doing all this stuff for the
22:39
community and like he is so likable again.
22:43
He has totally flipped the script for me
22:46
on how I feel about him as an
22:48
athlete and as a person.
22:51
Think about it.
22:52
Think about it.
22:54
Ten more games athletes did that.
22:55
Not all of them,
22:56
but not all of them are going to
22:57
do it.
22:57
It's not going to happen,
22:58
but just ten more.
23:00
Four or five more from the female side
23:02
and three or four more,
23:04
whatever the case may be,
23:05
from the male side.
23:05
How much more engagement that's going to
23:07
be?
23:08
How much more forward-facing that's going
23:09
to be?
23:10
How much just leading from the front?
23:13
You know, hey, yeah, I'm a games athlete.
23:16
Yes,
23:17
I'm one of the fittest people on the
23:18
face of the planet,
23:19
but I am also a dude, right?
23:23
The more you get to know these people,
23:24
the more that you understand them better,
23:26
the easier it is to follow,
23:27
and the more engagement you're going to
23:29
get from people who are not huge fans
23:32
of the sport or even don't pay attention
23:34
to the sport.
23:35
You can say – because you can look
23:38
to –
23:39
You're an average person,
23:40
whatever you want to call that, and go,
23:42
yeah, that guy won the games last year,
23:44
and he's at this affiliate over here.
23:47
He's talking to these people.
23:50
Because regular professional athletes
23:52
don't do stuff like that.
23:53
Or if they do,
23:54
it's for a photo op, right?
23:58
Not just dropping in to go coach just
24:00
because I have time.
24:02
I don't have anything else to do.
24:03
I should do this.
24:04
It's going to be good for everybody.
24:07
Yeah, no, that's a fantastic thing, dude.
24:09
And I think it will one hundred percent
24:10
help to grow,
24:11
get people back in affiliates, you know,
24:14
get it, get numbers up.
24:15
I mean, it's outstanding, dude.
24:20
Frida says that's really athletes paying
24:22
it forward.
24:23
It is.
24:23
And it's awesome.
24:26
Sean in Oregon,
24:27
I appreciate the elite CrossFit athletes
24:28
interacting with the community.
24:30
I think everybody does.
24:31
Like it just gives you a connection with
24:33
them.
24:33
Like Corey is saying, like,
24:35
They're doing what you do.
24:36
They're in the same style box,
24:39
doing the same style gym.
24:40
They're not in their garage.
24:41
They're not in there.
24:42
And not to say that training can't be
24:46
in your garage,
24:48
but occasionally drop into a class.
24:50
It makes a huge difference.
24:51
It humanizes them.
25:00
Yeah.
25:01
I wanted to do two more quick updates
25:03
for sure.
25:05
One, this is going to be super fast.
25:06
A couple months ago,
25:08
we talked about the IF-III Masters
25:10
competition in Australia.
25:13
And from the news of water is wet,
25:15
the sky is blue,
25:17
there was an independent company that was
25:20
brought in to see what the deficiencies
25:22
were.
25:23
And they said, yes,
25:24
there were plenty of deficiencies,
25:26
not staffed well enough,
25:28
not programmed right, things like that.
25:31
But what I found kind of fascinating in
25:33
the fine details of it all were that
25:36
there were a lot of complaints that they
25:37
found unfounded.
25:40
And I think that that's kind of funny.
25:43
I love my Masters athletes.
25:44
I love them to death.
25:46
They are amazing people.
25:47
I love hanging out and chatting with them.
25:50
But
25:52
We Masters athletes know how to complain.
25:55
So when the wheels came off the bus,
25:57
it was open season to complain about
26:00
everything.
26:01
If complaining was an event at the Masters
26:04
CrossFit Games,
26:05
it would be the most tightly contested
26:08
event of the weekend.
26:10
Yeah.
26:10
By far, because everybody's good at it.
26:13
Yep.
26:14
And they all have their idea of how
26:15
things should be and how it should be
26:17
set up.
26:18
And again...
26:19
they are my people.
26:21
I love hanging out with them.
26:22
Um, but they,
26:24
it's hard to get them on a positive
26:26
trajectory in their conversations at an
26:28
event.
26:30
Well, uh, this and well, uh, that,
26:34
and well, uh, this,
26:35
there's so much of a dude.
26:36
I try not to get on that train
26:38
to the best of my ability.
26:39
I still do my fair share,
26:40
but you're not like a lot of anybody,
26:42
but the amount of it that you hear.
26:47
And it's just like, man,
26:50
My favorite one is people complaining
26:51
about the programming because they program
26:54
stuff that they're not good at.
26:55
Hey, bro,
26:56
that's the entire point of the test is
26:57
to see what you are actually good at.
26:59
So I don't complain about the programming
27:04
much.
27:05
The only time that is warranted is at
27:07
the games because that test should be a
27:10
balanced test to test the first.
27:13
When you're talking like,
27:16
legends or masters fitness collective or
27:21
any of those it's their event they can
27:23
do whatever they want to do and and
27:25
that's fine um but when you're talking the
27:27
games is the only time i give that
27:29
like a lot of credence right but but
27:34
the the independent
27:38
auditor did find plenty of things that the
27:40
IF-III did incorrectly in that as well.
27:43
This is my shocked face.
27:45
Right.
27:46
This is my shocked face for that.
27:49
Not having medical people on site was
27:53
probably the most egregious.
27:57
But anyway.
27:58
And then the last thing I wanted to
28:00
talk about is Pat Vellner announced on his
28:04
Instagram.
28:05
It was then reported by the Barbell Spin
28:08
that, and I have his Instagram here,
28:09
so I'll pull it up.
28:12
that he had torn a rotator cuff in
28:14
the lifting event at the final tour stop
28:19
at...
28:23
So you see where he loses the bar
28:24
behind and he grabs his shoulder.
28:27
He posted that.
28:29
He says,
28:29
been stacking lots of rehab days following
28:31
this lift in Denmark.
28:33
Torn rotator cuff, not great.
28:34
Things happen.
28:35
Lots of time to get back on track
28:37
for twenty twenty six.
28:38
Jack shoulders and rotator cuffs.
28:41
So I wanted to research quickly because I
28:44
know like in baseball,
28:45
a torn rotator cuff is a devastating
28:49
injury, right?
28:51
And so like if I looked up like
28:53
if an athlete has rotator cuff,
28:54
what is the recovery time?
28:56
And it appears to me by looking through
28:58
his stuff that he did not get the
29:01
surgical solution to this torn rotator
29:03
cuff.
29:03
And so he's attempting to rehab it.
29:06
And if you're just rehabbing it,
29:08
you can get back in like four to
29:09
six weeks and
29:12
If it requires surgery,
29:13
you're talking four to nine months.
29:16
Months, yeah.
29:19
So I was curious to see how this
29:20
would affect the season,
29:22
but he has been announced as a participant
29:28
at Wadapalooza.
29:31
So he must think that he is going
29:33
to give it a go at Wadapalooza.
29:39
I think it's good on him.
29:43
Good on him if he is.
29:44
Well, not if he is.
29:45
Obviously, he is.
29:46
I saw the same post.
29:46
You saw that water pollution post that
29:48
he's coming back and going to be
29:50
competing.
29:52
I've never had it.
29:54
I know several people that did and had
29:58
the surgery for it or whatnot.
29:59
And six to nine months,
30:03
that's a solid thing.
30:05
solid number my life had it my best
30:09
one of my best friends in the entire
30:10
world who is pretty decent level high
30:13
level masters athlete had it and he's
30:17
probably still never going to be the same
30:19
and he's fifty six and he's probably still
30:24
never going to be as good as he
30:25
was before just from the rehab and then
30:28
just losing time right losing time not
30:31
being able to do anything in the sling
30:33
the whole nine like it's insane
30:36
Well,
30:36
I always go to our expert in the
30:38
chat, and that's Shanna.
30:40
She says, I have a fully torn...
30:44
I don't know why she's swearing at me.
30:46
Suprasprinatus.
30:47
I got you on that one.
30:49
On the right shoulder and still compete at
30:51
a high level.
30:52
And she never got it repaired.
30:59
I had a surgery,
31:00
and it took me almost nine months.
31:01
Torn rotator cuff, torn labrum,
31:03
and a detached bicep.
31:04
Oh, man.
31:08
That's bad.
31:09
No.
31:10
But by looking at the video,
31:11
I would say it's a partial tear.
31:13
I have a partially torn rotator cuff.
31:15
I can do most CrossFit things.
31:17
The only thing that is affected is if
31:19
I tried...
31:20
If the softball toss was at a competition,
31:22
I'd be screwed.
31:25
I want to say...
31:27
Maybe CJ was talking about it one morning
31:29
or something like that, that most people,
31:31
athletes types and non,
31:33
probably have some sort of partial tear in
31:35
their rotator cuff.
31:36
If you've done anything physical in your
31:38
entire life, that's a good,
31:40
strong possibility.
31:41
Yeah,
31:41
mine happened in a bar fight when I
31:43
worked as a bouncer.
31:46
Hey, that's a solid story.
31:47
I would tell everybody that, you know,
31:50
I would be at the games,
31:53
but
31:55
Yeah.
31:56
I had to break up a bar fight
31:57
and yeah.
31:59
Have you ever seen roadhouse?
32:01
It's basically the same thing.
32:03
It was the most,
32:05
it was the worst fight I'd ever had
32:08
to break up in all my days of
32:10
bouncing.
32:12
Um,
32:14
what you do in your twenties when you
32:16
think you're invincible is just ridiculous
32:19
um yeah i leapt dove over a table
32:23
it was a football player going ballistic
32:27
we ended up wrestling and that's how it
32:29
popped and i ended up in the hospital
32:31
that night um
32:34
But yeah, I,
32:35
I thought I was Superman dove over a
32:37
table, knocked over drinks everywhere,
32:40
took the guy to the floor,
32:42
put his leg in the wing, trying to,
32:45
to get him to stop.
32:47
Yeah, it was,
32:47
it was bad ground and pound baby ground
32:50
and pound.
32:51
Yeah.
32:55
Uh, solid story from, from Jody and Vicki.
33:01
I would be at the games,
33:02
but I'm not in shape and I'm old.
33:05
That's what David said.
33:06
He looks like Captain America.
33:09
He's three years older than I am,
33:12
I think.
33:13
It's not much.
33:14
I don't want to hear that shit.
33:15
That's nonsense.
33:18
Technically,
33:19
I've actually been to games way more times
33:21
than I have because I haven't even gone
33:22
as a spectator and he's been like two
33:24
or three years at least.
33:27
He's one year younger than me.
33:29
There you go.
33:29
When you're younger than you,
33:31
six years older than me.
33:34
Yeah.
33:34
That much.
33:36
That would be forty nine in April.
33:39
It's just trying to keep up with that
33:40
wife and kids, man.
33:41
Well,
33:43
it's a lot to keep up with his
33:45
kids.
33:46
Fantastic.
33:49
So, yeah,
33:50
hopefully he gets back because there's
33:51
been a lot of speculation.
33:55
Is he going to do the game season
33:56
this year?
33:58
guess we'll find out if he signs up
33:59
for the open.
34:00
I feel like that's a pretty easy tell.
34:04
Yeah.
34:05
There seems to be some speculation that he
34:07
is going to come back and do one
34:08
more year in the CrossFit game season.
34:12
It just sucks that he tears a rotator
34:15
cuff going into it.
34:21
No.
34:22
I mean,
34:22
I won't say it couldn't be that bad,
34:24
but because...
34:27
when Brandon tore whatever he tore in his
34:30
elbow or whatnot,
34:30
doing the snatch at the games,
34:31
like he competed and he just,
34:33
I'd be proofing up and stayed the rest
34:34
of the weekend.
34:35
Pat did the same thing, right?
34:37
Like do that out.
34:40
Brandon's was pretty gnarly to watch.
34:44
Cause his elbow went the wrong direction.
34:46
Uh, Judy is now coaching.
34:48
Wow.
34:49
That's awesome.
34:51
Good chat in our stuff way back in
34:54
the day.
34:55

35:00
hanging out with the crossfit talk and
35:02
then she joined a gym and now she's
35:06

35:13

35:18

35:49
My sister was a diver when we were
35:50
kids and she was really, really good.
35:54
Um,
35:56
and when I watched the videos of their
35:59
son diving, it is like,
36:01
there's I'm speechless sometimes at how
36:05
little splash he has when he goes into
36:07
water.
36:08
Like the form is amazing.
36:11
And he dives for Ohio state here.
36:14
Um, so yeah.
36:19
Uh, Tyler deadlifted five,
36:21
fifteen conventional and six,
36:22
ten on a trap bar.
36:26
Yep.
36:26
I do that in my back would be
36:28
laying on the floor.
36:29
I'd have to assemble it back together.
36:32
I deadlifted five hundred once and if I'd
36:36
never do it again,
36:37
I will be perfectly fine.
36:39
I was messed up for four days afterwards.
36:42
Yeah.
36:43
I did it once in high school.
36:45
And then when I was doing the CrossFit
36:47
thing,
36:49
my back squat was like a hundred pounds
36:51
more than my deadlift.
36:55
Yeah.
36:56
My back was just,
36:57
my back just can't support the deadlift,
36:59
but it's fine when I'm doing a squat.
37:02
Jeez.
37:04
So I have the strength.
37:05
I just don't have the back to be
37:08
able to lift.
37:09
And I did hit four hundred, but it.
37:12
Yeah.
37:14
it wasn't pretty part is not terrible i
37:18
can still rep out for fifteen or i
37:22
say i can't i haven't in quite some
37:23
time we don't program a whole lot of
37:24
heavy deadlift so it's a i'll say it's
37:28
a party trick i mean it's definitely core
37:30
strength and all that good stuff but it's
37:33
not something i'm super focused on yeah i
37:37
i don't really know what my true back
37:39
squat was when
37:41
I've not missed a back squat since twenty
37:45
twelve, twenty thirteen.
37:48
I've never missed one,
37:49
so I don't even know.
37:50
I've never made it to the point where
37:51
I've had to drop it.
37:57
I don't think I have.
38:01
I don't know if I've ever felt like
38:03
a one rep max attempt.
38:05
My last one was for four fifteen and
38:08
it felt like super nice.
38:10
Like I'm probably four thirty five,
38:12
four fifty backswater if I had to guess.
38:15
It's not something I work on.
38:16
I'm not so much worried about absolute
38:19
strength as I am just being able to
38:23
consistently move like I'm strong.
38:25
I'm going to be strong.
38:27
I'm not that's not really going anywhere
38:28
as long as I maintain what I'm doing.
38:30
I do one squat cycle a year,
38:32
usually right after the opens finish.
38:35
Yeah,
38:35
the highest I hit crossfitting and back
38:38
squat was about like four eighty.
38:41
But again, I've never truly maxed it out.
38:46
By the time you get up to those,
38:47
like, you need a lot of time, and,
38:48
like,
38:49
we never gave ourselves enough time to get
38:52
up there.
38:54
By the time, like,
38:55
we got up in those areas, like,
38:56
you're running out of the lifting time,
38:58
and now it's time for the Metcon.
38:59
Yeah.
38:59
Nothing like lifting four-eighty and then
39:02
going to a Metcon and trying to use
39:03
your legs.
39:04
So when I first started CrossFit in, like,
39:10
I was that guy because I had been
39:12
running a whole lot who, like,
39:13
loved to –
39:15
i was like running was programmed i was
39:16
like yeah cool let's run and we had
39:19
we did a mile for time one day
39:22
and it was the first part of it
39:23
was a back squat workout and i i
39:26
remember what the back squat workout was
39:27
but i remember my mile for time at
39:29
six twenty one was the fastest i had
39:31
ever run in my entire life that was
39:33
fun that was good times right there yeah
39:38
Well, I hate to end this early,
39:39
but I actually have a meeting in five
39:42
minutes that I have to get up and
39:44
get a dress shirt on for.
39:47
