0:31
What's going on, everybody?
0:33
It's lunch hour here at the
0:35
Sweats are household, so coming down,
0:39
hanging out with my friends
0:39
here on the podcast.
0:43
Some topics for today,
0:44
we're going to talk about
0:45
some TV shows of the fall.
0:47
We're going to talk about
0:50
the Caroline Lambre clip
0:51
that's going around.
0:52
I actually watched the full
0:54
interview to get it in its context,
0:59
and I do have some thoughts about that.
1:02
um and we're gonna talk
1:04
about some other stuff as
1:07
well uh my birthday dinner
1:09
with my wife last night not
1:10
my birthday her birthday
1:11
dinner uh last night and
1:14
then a couple other like
1:15
just uh quick little
1:16
hitters uh to finish off
1:18
the lunch but um I'm gonna
1:20
start with uh the birthday
1:22
lunch birthday dinner gosh
1:25
can't speak today I gotta
1:27
tell you like doing this alone is like
1:31
hardest thing for me right
1:32
now I'm really trying to
1:34
kind of make this
1:36
comfortable for myself I'm
1:38
really going outside the
1:39
box doing these alone shows
1:42
uh we got judy and jody in
1:44
the chat good to see both of you today
1:47
There's Lex.
1:48
But I'm really trying to get
1:49
comfortable just doing
1:50
these alone shows where if
1:53
there's something that
1:54
breaks and I need to get on really quick,
1:56
I'm comfortable doing that.
1:58
But doing these lunch shows
1:59
is just helping me kind of
2:00
dip my toes in the water to do that.
2:04
But anyway,
2:04
I'm going to start with the
2:06
dinner I took my wife on last night.
2:09
The way it worked is...
2:11
it's a local restaurant in
2:12
delaware ohio which is
2:14
about ten miles north of
2:15
where I live um and because
2:17
columbus is so chaotic uh
2:20
for my wife and I it's
2:21
better to go to this
2:22
neighboring town north of
2:23
us if we're gonna go
2:24
shopping or go out to eat
2:26
and it's a quaint little
2:27
smaller town and we really
2:29
enjoy it much more than
2:31
going into the city uh for
2:33
any of that stuff um so
2:37
Really love going up there.
2:39
Our favorite restaurant is
2:40
called The Backstretch.
2:42
Delaware is known for sulky racing.
2:47
It's a horse racing with a
2:49
carriage behind it.
2:51
And they compete there every
2:53
fall for the Little Brown Jug.
2:56
And so a lot of the stuff
2:57
there is themed based on that.
3:01
And that's what the backstretch is.
3:03
So anyway,
3:04
I'm on their email list and they
3:06
do these special events all the time.
3:09
And this was going to be a
3:11
holiday four-course meal
3:13
with a cocktail sampling
3:19
paired with each course.
3:21
And you bought a table.
3:24
Um,
3:25
and so I bought a table so my wife and I,
3:29
and two friends could go
3:30
hang out and for her
3:31
birthday and do this.
3:33
And we had the most fun time doing it.
3:37
Um,
3:37
the chef of the restaurant came out on
3:41
each course,
3:42
explained why the food and
3:44
the cocktail paired together.
3:46
Um, and, uh, it was, it was delicious.
3:51
So I have a couple pictures
3:52
that I've put out on social media.
3:54
I'm going to share that real
3:55
quick just so you can kind of see.
3:57
And when we got there, you'll see here,
4:01
there was an envelope on
4:03
each one of our place
4:04
settings with our name on it.
4:06
And when you opened it up,
4:08
it actually had the menu for the evening.
4:11
And then behind it was every
4:13
cocktail that was coming
4:15
with the recipe for the cocktail.
4:18
um and you can see here that
4:19
the menu was it started
4:21
with a charcuterie board um
4:24
and it came with a porto
4:25
flip spinach salad which
4:27
was a cranberry refresher
4:28
was a cocktail and then
4:29
beef oscar and a twice
4:31
baked potato that came with
4:33
a holiday bourbon punch and
4:34
then a flourless chocolate
4:35
cake I came with a raspberry margarita
4:41
this was the Chuck charcuterie board, uh,
4:44
very small.
4:44
Each person got one of these.
4:46
Uh, there were two stuffed peppers.
4:48
Um, there were some meats and cheeses.
4:50
Um,
4:50
and then that was homemade focaccia
4:53
bread.
4:53
And it was, it was pretty small.
4:55
It was, um, just enough to like,
4:58
you could have like a
4:58
little corner of it with
5:00
like a piece of meat or a
5:00
piece of cheese.
5:02
Um, but it was, it had to be whole grain.
5:04
It, it, it had like seeds and stuff in it,
5:08
uh, that really gave it kind of a,
5:12
hearty flavor to it but it
5:14
was really good and then
5:16
the next course which I did
5:18
not get a picture of was a
5:19
spinach salad that had a
5:24
they made their own
5:25
balsamic vinaigrette that
5:26
went over the top it had
5:27
pomegranate seeds blue cheese bacon and
5:32
it was probably the best
5:34
course of the night um I
5:36
could have I could have
5:37
eaten like eighteen of
5:39
those salads it was so good
5:41
um and actually the the
5:43
chef described it as it's
5:44
their holiday salad every
5:46
year uh they put this out
5:48
on the table with their uh
5:50
their family dinner um and
5:52
it's a salad they use for
5:53
that and that's why they
5:54
wanted to share it at this tasting
5:59
This was the bourbon punch
6:02
that they put out.
6:05
That's rosemary and two
6:06
whole cranberries in there.
6:10
And what was nice is there
6:12
were small samples of the cocktails.
6:14
So didn't get too buzzed up
6:18
on it or anything like that.
6:19
It was really just to pair
6:21
it with the food and to see
6:22
how it reacted.
6:24
and then this was the uh the
6:26
beef oscar and you can see
6:28
uh there's crab meat over
6:29
the top with a homemade
6:31
hollandaise sauce
6:33
underneath that is a bernet
6:36
sauce and then a twice
6:38
baked potato and it was it
6:42
was really delicious
6:48
And then the dessert was
6:51
these little mini flourless
6:52
cakes with a small scoop of
6:56
ice cream to kind of finish
6:58
off the evening.
7:02
And it was, what was amazing about this,
7:04
this came with the raspberry margarita.
7:07
And at first taste of the
7:09
raspberry margarita, it was very citrusy,
7:12
very acidy.
7:14
But if you actually sipped
7:15
it with a piece of cake,
7:17
all that went away and it
7:19
really smoothed it out.
7:21
It was really interesting to
7:22
kind of see all that, but yeah.
7:24
My wife, most importantly,
7:25
my wife loved the evening.
7:27
We were there for probably
7:30
two and a half hours for
7:31
the four courses.
7:33
And we got to hang out with
7:35
two of our best friends in
7:36
the world and just got to
7:38
chat and hang out.
7:42
And the experience was
7:43
awesome as well as the
7:45
service and everybody just
7:47
telling stories.
7:48
It was a really great time
7:49
to spend her birthday.
7:50
And today is actually her birthday.
7:53
And so happy birthday to my wife.
7:55
It's really cool.
8:00
Jay Burch asked,
8:01
I was about to ask how the
8:02
pairing made it.
8:03
The pairings were really cool.
8:05
And that was really fun to
8:07
kind of experience because
8:07
I've never done anything like that.
8:09
This is very out of the box for us.
8:14
So it was a fun experience.
8:16
One that we will probably
8:17
try again in the future.
8:21
Alex asks, is there surgery coming up?
8:23
This is great for her to enjoy this.
8:25
It is.
8:26
We haven't been able to do a
8:27
lot of stuff outside the
8:28
house because her ability
8:30
to walk around is almost gone.
8:33
But her surgery is coming up
8:35
January sixth.
8:36
So we just got to get
8:37
through the holidays and then she will...
8:41
have that surgery.
8:42
She'll have a new knee on her bat,
8:43
the worst of the two knees,
8:46
and then we'll get that rehabbed.
8:48
Then she'll go in and have
8:49
the second knee done.
8:50
And hopefully she will, um,
8:53
be up and running, um, around again.
8:56
Uh, but she's super excited about that.
9:00
Judy asked, what surgery?
9:01
My wife is having a total
9:03
knee replacement done on
9:07
her left knee January six.
9:10
We have been fighting
9:11
insurance companies for
9:12
about three years.
9:15
because her age is she's
9:18
fairly young to have this
9:19
done um but she played
9:23
volleyball a lot as a child
9:25
and she was a big time
9:25
runner and the running
9:28
really damaged her knees up
9:30
really bad um and it made
9:32
it so that she couldn't be
9:34
very active and it's caused
9:35
a lot of problems we've
9:37
been fighting and fighting
9:38
and we were on her
9:39
insurance for a couple years which
9:42
I'm was Blue Cross Blue
9:43
Shield and they were denying everything.
9:46
This July,
9:47
we switched back to my insurance,
9:49
which is Ohio Med Plus with
9:51
the state of Ohio.
9:53
They've approved it immediately.
9:55
And we are in our we're
9:58
sailing smooth sailing to
9:59
the surgery on January six
10:02
and can't wait for all of that.
10:04
So.
10:05
Um, yeah,
10:07
she's been in a lot of pain for a
10:09
long time and it's going to
10:10
be great that she finally
10:11
gets that relief.
10:16
Uh, Jay Birch says, good for y'all.
10:18
We always try to do a four
10:18
course meal for anniversary,
10:20
which is coming up in two weeks,
10:21
December thirty first.
10:23
how does that work for you Jay Burch?
10:24
Because my wife's birthday is today,
10:26
which is exactly one week
10:28
before Christmas.
10:30
Um,
10:30
and then my birthday is exactly one
10:32
week after Christmas.
10:33
So mine is January first.
10:35
So in a two week span,
10:37
we do all the celebrating, uh,
10:39
for the year.
10:41
And then thank goodness we
10:42
were smart enough to get married in may,
10:45
um, to kind of break that up.
10:46
But yeah, we,
10:49
we do a lot of celebrating in
10:50
a couple of weeks.
10:55
Alex S about the denial.
10:58
I don't want to get into much of a rant,
10:59
but they denied for just
11:00
about everything.
11:02
Every time we would clear another hurdle,
11:04
they would deny it for something else.
11:06
It was just crazy.
11:11
And we haven't hardly used
11:13
our insurance ever.
11:14
And then for them to keep
11:19
denying it was just ridiculous.
11:21
But anyway,
11:23
we're on the flip side of that.
11:26
We are totally approved.
11:27
We have the approval letter in writing.
11:29
And it is happening January
11:30
sixth for sure.
11:34
So, yeah.
11:38
That is our dinner last night.
11:42
And then for lunch today,
11:44
I will make for my wife
11:45
whatever she wants.
11:46
She's actually working from home today.
11:48
So as soon as this is over,
11:49
I'll go upstairs and cook
11:50
whatever she wants for lunch.
11:52
Don't know what that is yet
11:53
because she has not given me her request.
11:58
Um, uh,
12:00
before we get into the top shows
12:02
and the worst show of the fall, uh,
12:04
I want to get into a little
12:06
bit of the Carolyn Lambre thing.
12:08
I'm only going to briefly
12:09
touch on this because again,
12:11
these shows are going to be appetizers.
12:14
I'm not going to get into a full, um, uh,
12:18
I'm not going to get into
12:19
full debate about this yet.
12:21
Uh, those are for our shows,
12:23
our Sunday night show and
12:24
our Thursday show.
12:27
Um,
12:29
so what what I'm going to
12:31
say is I saw the clips that
12:34
went wild with carolyn
12:35
lambre on the savan show
12:37
and dense updates posted as
12:39
well other people are
12:40
posting on social media I
12:42
would just implore you to
12:44
go watch the entire thing
12:46
and not make a judgment
12:47
based on just that clip um
12:53
so I watched the whole thing
12:57
don't believe she was saying
12:58
what is being implied at
13:00
all um I think that there
13:02
is a lot going on in her
13:04
head um as well as a lot of
13:06
the elite athletes um right
13:09
now because there are two
13:12
options out there kind of
13:13
the wfp the crossfit game
13:15
season there is very little
13:16
information about either of
13:18
them um they're really
13:20
trying to get it all into
13:21
their head what is the best
13:23
route for them
13:26
Um,
13:26
and she is in a spot where she owns an
13:29
affiliate and she's the
13:31
coach of an elite athlete.
13:32
And that puts her,
13:33
gives her two different
13:34
perspectives and both that
13:36
she has to figure out what
13:38
is best for her in each situation.
13:41
And so.
13:45
The interview goes on.
13:46
It's an hour and forty two minutes.
13:49
They talk about a lot more
13:50
than that ten second clip.
13:53
And and again,
13:54
we will get into this more
13:56
on our Sunday night
13:57
CrossFit talk show or and
13:59
maybe even the roundtable tomorrow.
14:01
But I know that.
14:02
That Carolyn and Jamie
14:06
probably have some things
14:07
to say about this,
14:08
and we'll talk about that then.
14:12
The other thing I'm going to
14:13
say is that I have my notes here.
14:21
she makes a lot of great points.
14:23
The CrossFit game season
14:24
does change every single
14:26
year and that has to change.
14:28
And,
14:28
and she even suggests maybe taking a
14:30
year off to figure it out.
14:33
Uh, um,
14:34
and she uses the example of Jaguar
14:36
taking a year off of production, um, to,
14:40
to rethink how they're
14:41
going to do their car.
14:42
Um,
14:44
And she suggests maybe a
14:45
uniform layout that is the
14:48
standard CrossFit floor.
14:49
And that if gyms want to put it in,
14:51
that's their choice.
14:53
But it gives a place where
14:54
people can go to do things
14:56
in the more advanced stages
14:58
of the CrossFit game season.
15:01
She had a lot of interesting things.
15:02
And she even says in the
15:03
interview that she likes to
15:05
pose questions and she
15:07
doesn't often always have the answers.
15:09
But she likes to question
15:10
things in that area.
15:12
in that vein the other thing
15:14
I'm going to say is there
15:15
seems to be a lot of fight
15:16
over what is a professional
15:17
athlete and I don't I
15:19
really don't think any of
15:20
that matters if you're
15:21
doing this at an elite
15:23
level and you're trying to
15:24
make money that is fine you
15:26
know what we define you as
15:28
professional or not really
15:29
doesn't matter in the end
15:31
of it right it is that
15:32
there are elite athletes
15:35
trying to compete at a
15:37
level win some prize money
15:39
and become the fittest on earth
15:41
Whatever we call that, we call that.
15:44
Whether you call it a career,
15:46
whether you call it professional,
15:47
whether you call it elite,
15:50
who gives a shit, honestly?
15:52
Like, I don't care.
15:54
But there are a group of
15:55
athletes that do that.
15:58
And then the other point I'm going to make,
16:00
and then we'll again talk
16:01
about this more on the other shows,
16:02
is her biggest point in the clip,
16:05
if you watch beyond that,
16:06
is the open needs to be defined.
16:10
It does not have a
16:11
definition of who it's for.
16:13
We just hear rumblings that
16:14
we need to make it more
16:18
approachable for people.
16:21
But it's also the initial
16:23
qualification for the elite athletes.
16:26
What is it?
16:27
And we need to define it so
16:28
we can actually make it
16:30
what it's supposed to be.
16:35
And I think she makes a
16:36
great point about that.
16:37
I think we've talked about
16:38
that on this show a few
16:39
times in the past.
16:42
And that was really the clip
16:43
that's being taken was all about that.
16:46
You have the affiliates want
16:48
the open to be one thing.
16:50
You have the elite athletes
16:51
that want the open to be another thing.
16:53
CrossFit's trying to make it
16:54
work for both.
16:56
And in some ways,
16:57
it's missing the mark
16:58
because there's no way to
16:59
come to a middle.
17:02
She doesn't say that.
17:02
I say that.
17:05
Um, but anyway, I think that is, uh,
17:07
was her main point in the clip, but that,
17:10
that thing at the end, the, the,
17:12
the piece at the end was clipped off, um,
17:15
on both the seven show and, uh,
17:18
replayed on dense updates.
17:19
And so I just,
17:20
I wanted to get the full
17:21
context of the interview
17:23
before I talked about it.
17:25
And I even think there's,
17:26
they talked about so much
17:28
that I need a few more days, uh, to,
17:30
to think about it as we
17:31
approach it this weekend on the CrossFit
17:35
talk show on Sunday night.
17:36
So make sure you tune in for that.
17:41
I'm going to look through a
17:42
couple comments because I
17:43
know a bunch came in here.
17:49
So usually I eat the same
17:51
thing as my wife.
17:53
We just have good food in the house.
17:55
Her choice is going to be
17:57
something with lean ground
17:58
beef or something with chicken.
18:01
That's the two meats we have to cook.
18:03
So it'll be something with that.
18:06
What is my favorite food to make her?
18:07
Whatever she wants, honestly.
18:11
I used to be a short order cook.
18:13
Uh, when I was in college,
18:15
that's how I paid my rent.
18:17
Um,
18:18
and so I'm actually a pretty good cook.
18:21
Um, and I can make just about anything.
18:26
Uh, back on the insurance thing, uh,
18:29
ACR talks about her husband.
18:31
First of two arm surgeries
18:32
was almost two years ago
18:33
and insurance still has
18:35
almost ten thousand pending
18:37
because the back and forth
18:38
with the doc and not liking
18:39
certain codes.
18:43
Good.
18:43
And AC, are you work in the medical field?
18:45
Correct.
18:46
Are you a nurse?
18:47
If I'm remembering right.
18:52
Uh, Lex says, uh,
18:54
it was interesting hearing
18:55
Lambert talk about her
18:56
trying to be on seminar stuff.
18:58
I found that really fascinating.
19:00
Um,
19:02
it's really cool that she's a CrossFit
19:03
level four.
19:06
what I find fascinating is
19:07
she has totally drank the
19:09
CrossFit Kool-Aid.
19:11
She has her CrossFit level four.
19:12
She owns an affiliate.
19:14
She's not de-affiliating.
19:16
Um,
19:16
she is paying for all of that to remain
19:20
a part of CrossFit.
19:22
Um, yet she's this pro coach, um,
19:25
with Jeff and, and,
19:29
and she gets caught in the
19:31
middle of all this stuff.
19:33
Um,
19:35
And she,
19:35
her and Jeff both started as volunteers,
19:38
which was really cool.
19:39
Um,
19:42
Her and Jeff are one of the
19:43
first people that agreed to
19:45
come on this show when we
19:46
first started way back in the day.
19:49
I've always had a good
19:50
relationship with both of them.
19:52
Every time I see Carolyn at events,
19:54
she is super friendly.
19:57
We hug, we talk,
20:00
and it's always very cordial.
20:01
And I actually love her and Jeff.
20:04
And if you've been watching
20:06
this show for any time,
20:07
you know I am a big Jeff Adler supporter.
20:11
So I thought it was a great,
20:14
great interview.
20:18
Craig says, I watched the whole interview.
20:20
It was good.
20:26
Jody Lynn,
20:26
I never do anything with a
20:27
doctor until I get the code they'll use.
20:31
Then I'll get it approved by insurance.
20:33
It's ridiculous.
20:34
I know,
20:34
but why do we have to take all
20:35
those steps?
20:37
why it just doesn't make any
20:38
sense to me at all why we
20:40
are forced to do all this
20:42
leg work to just ensure
20:44
that we can stay healthy um
20:51
kind of ridiculous so so
20:54
let's talk about some fun
20:55
stuff um so I'm going to
20:57
give you my top five shows
20:59
of the fall top five tv
21:00
shows that I watched um
21:04
and you can you can agree
21:05
disagree or whatever put it
21:07
in the comments um we love
21:09
comments on this show uh
21:17
denise moore
21:19
congratulations on legends
21:21
nice podium performance
21:23
miss moore uh now I'm going
21:25
to go watch the full
21:26
interview I wasn't going to
21:27
because I hate the made-up
21:29
controversies happening
21:30
this fall but now I'm
21:31
interested in what she has to say
21:35
I thought it was good.
21:36
I think she makes a lot of great points.
21:38
And yeah,
21:40
that was ten seconds of an hour
21:41
and forty-three minute interview.
21:44
So that'll give you that perspective.
21:50
So top five shows for me
21:52
this fall that I have
21:55
binged or watched as they came out.
21:58
The first one is number five
22:01
is Tulsa King.
22:03
And it is on Paramount Plus.
22:04
That is Sylvester Stallone's
22:07
show about a...
22:09
um,
22:10
mafia member who goes to prison because
22:12
he, uh, was the scapegoat and, uh,
22:15
did not rat on his friends,
22:17
spent several years in prison, gets out,
22:21
um, is,
22:22
is then outcast from New York city to, uh,
22:28
to Tulsa, uh, to set up shop.
22:30
And he sets up his shop there.
22:33
I thought season two,
22:34
which was this fall was
22:35
better than season one.
22:38
Um,
22:40
much better than season one
22:42
I it had it it kind of
22:44
tightened up shipped a
22:45
little bit and really
22:46
focused the story in one direction um and
22:52
some of the characters I got
22:53
really emotionally attached
22:54
to um are play integral
22:57
roles in season two so I
22:59
highly recommend that that
23:00
is my number five show uh
23:03
for this fall and jeffrey
23:05
birchfield says I haven't
23:06
seen second season the
23:08
first was good second
23:09
season is better second
23:12
season is definitely better
23:16
Number four is Lioness.
23:19
That is the Zoe Zaldana show
23:22
with Nicole Kidman, Morgan Freeman,
23:25
where they...
23:27
train operatives to go
23:29
undercover to infiltrate
23:31
the families of terrorists,
23:34
the wives and the daughters,
23:37
to go undercover, befriend them,
23:40
and then essentially
23:42
assassinate the terrorist
23:45
from the inside.
23:48
The second season shifts a
23:50
little bit to some stuff
23:53
more domestically.
23:55
And it actually was very
23:56
educational for me as well
23:58
as a really well done show.
24:01
What I will say about this
24:02
is it is the one show that was so tense.
24:08
I was literally on the edge
24:10
of my seat in two or three
24:12
of the episodes in season two.
24:15
uh holding my breath for the
24:16
characters in the show it
24:18
was really really good um
24:20
season two of lioness this
24:23
fall number four on my uh
24:27
on my list number three is
24:29
a newcomer to tv and it is
24:32
called high potential um
24:38
It stars – her name is Olsen.
24:43
Oh, gosh.
24:46
She's been in a lot of shows before.
24:48
She's in Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
24:51
I'll think of – Elizabeth Olsen.
24:54
Is that right?
24:56
I don't know.
24:57
That's not right.
24:58
Anyway, I'll think of it.
24:59
But she is actually – it's a very monk –
25:04
monk style show if you liked
25:06
monk in the past it's
25:08
someone who with like ocd
25:10
they see things that other
25:11
peoples don't that don't
25:12
see their memory is like
25:14
really good they can see
25:15
when things are out of
25:16
place and shouldn't be
25:17
where they are um but the
25:20
heart of this character is so good
25:23
And she is a single mother
25:25
of three children, taking care of them.
25:28
And she gets hired by the
25:29
LAPD as a consultant to
25:32
come in on cases to kind of
25:34
figure out where the evidence is.
25:37
It is a very, very well done show.
25:41
It seems to be a little bit
25:42
of an underdog in the better way.
25:45
I thought Denise is better than Monk.
25:46
I agree.
25:47
I agree.
25:49
She is a much more lovable
25:50
character than Monk.
25:52
Monk took some time to kind
25:53
of understand where she,
25:55
because of all of this
25:56
stuff going on in her family life,
25:58
it's just more heartwarming.
26:05
And the heart of the show is
26:07
better than Monk.
26:08
So I really, really, really enjoyed it.
26:13
Yeah, Elizabeth Olsen is WandaVision.
26:15
This is not Elizabeth.
26:19
Oh, my gosh.
26:21
I know so much about her.
26:22
Her husband owns the Wrexham
26:24
soccer team with Ryan Reynolds,
26:28
Rob McElhinney.
26:31
She's married to him.
26:33
But I can't think of her first name.
26:35
But her last name is Olsen.
26:37
But anyway, it's a great show.
26:39
You should check it out.
26:41
And kind of one of the neat
26:43
things is one of her kids
26:44
has the same condition that
26:48
she has with the OCD.
26:50
So it's kind of watching her
26:53
deal with that as well.
26:56
And the cast of characters
26:57
are great on the show.
26:58
It is on ABC.
26:59
This is not a streaming service show.
27:02
It's on ABC on Tuesday nights.
27:05
We always stream it later
27:06
because we can't stay up that late,
27:07
but it's a great show.
27:10
Number two for me is,
27:11
it was mentioned in the chat already,
27:13
Caitlin Olsen.
27:14
That is it.
27:15
Thank you, Denise.
27:16
Caitlin Olsen.
27:19
Number two for me was
27:20
already mentioned the chat
27:21
and that is land, man.
27:23
Uh,
27:23
the new Billy Bob Thornton show on
27:25
paramount plus it is about, uh,
27:29
basically a fixer in the oil industry.
27:33
And they're called landmen.
27:35
And it is the guy who goes
27:37
between the workers on the
27:40
wells and the drilling
27:43
operations and the owner of
27:45
the oil company,
27:46
making sure that they get
27:48
the lease agreements for
27:49
the rights to the land to drill on,
27:53
all of that kind of stuff.
27:54
But it is done in Midland, Texas.
27:58
it is amazing.
27:59
Uh,
28:00
I grew up in Western Pennsylvania where
28:01
wildcat drilling was a big thing.
28:04
Um,
28:04
and literally right outside my parents'
28:06
backyard.
28:08
Um,
28:08
if you go across the dirt road behind
28:10
my house, uh,
28:11
there is an oil well drilling, um,
28:14
right there.
28:14
And so I, uh,
28:17
I grew up around Wildcat oil drillers,
28:20
and this really takes me
28:21
back to hanging out with
28:23
them because my bus stop
28:27
was a general store.
28:28
They would come in to get
28:29
their sandwiches and all
28:30
that kind of stuff,
28:31
and I got to know them a
28:32
lot when I was a kid.
28:34
And yeah.
28:40
It is a smaller oil company
28:42
and they talk about like BP
28:44
and Chevron and all of
28:46
those that they're competing against.
28:48
But this one is actually a
28:49
smaller oil company
28:51
competing against them.
28:54
Denise says the first scene
28:55
is captivating.
28:56
Yeah, not to give too much away,
28:58
but it is Billy Bob trying
29:01
to negotiate the lease
29:03
rights to drill with the
29:06
owner of the land who
29:07
happens to be part of the drug cartel.
29:11
And that's how the show opens.
29:14
It gives you a very good,
29:15
quick look at what it's
29:16
like to be a land man.
29:20
And then my number one show
29:22
for the fall is Shrinking.
29:24
If you are not watching this show,
29:25
it is the best show I've seen in years.
29:29
It is Harrison Ford as Jason Segel.
29:32
They are therapists.
29:34
The premise of the show is
29:35
that Jason Segel's character...
29:39
his wife is killed by a
29:40
drunk driver and it,
29:42
the show opens in the first season,
29:45
first show, um, about where he is, uh,
29:51
not in good shape because
29:52
of what has happened.
29:54
He has a daughter who has
29:56
been affected and their
29:58
neighbor has essentially
29:59
taken over raising the, uh,
30:04
has taken over raising the
30:06
daughter while he is in this bad shape.
30:11
And the reason it's called
30:12
shrinking is Jason Siegel
30:13
is actually a therapist.
30:15
Harrison Ford is a therapist.
30:17
There's a third black woman
30:19
who is a therapist and they
30:20
share a practice together.
30:23
And it's,
30:25
it's initially like how all
30:28
of this has affected Jason
30:30
Siegel as a therapist and
30:32
the therapy he's trying to
30:33
do to get back on track.
30:37
It's on Apple plus Denise.
30:40
it's actually a comedy um
30:42
yes it's a very dark um
30:46
opening to what's happened
30:48
but it actually turns into
30:50
a comedic thing um but
30:53
again a lot of heart with
30:54
the characters all of them
30:55
are very lovable um highly
30:58
recommended I just finished
31:00
season two last week
31:02
And it's a great show again, Harrison Ford,
31:04
Jason Siegel.
31:06
Um, and then there's a lot of, uh,
31:09
I just finished season two
31:11
and there's actually a,
31:12
how I met your mother,
31:14
many reunion at the end of season two.
31:17
I won't give any spoilers
31:18
away if you haven't seen that.
31:20
Um, but Jason Siegel, uh,
31:22
was on how I met your mother.
31:24
He was Marshall, the big, tall goofy guy.
31:27
And, um,
31:30
yeah he uh there's a little
31:32
mini how I met your mother
31:34
reunion uh at the end of
31:35
the show but definitely the
31:38
the best show I've seen
31:39
this fall did it win some
31:41
emmys I'm not sure if it's
31:42
one I know harrison ford
31:44
and jason siegel both have
31:45
been nominated for golden
31:46
globes just within the week
31:48
um but I don't know about
31:50
the emmys jeff uh but again great show um
31:58
And those are my top five.
31:59
Again, five Tulsa King, four Lioness,
32:01
three High Potential, two Landman,
32:04
number one Shrinking,
32:06
and then the worst show.
32:11
worst show ever is fire
32:13
country if you have watched
32:16
fire country or if you're a
32:17
fan of fire country I'm
32:19
really sorry but I think it
32:20
is probably the laziest
32:22
writing I've seen on
32:23
network tv and I've come to
32:26
the conclusion that the
32:28
writers have a misery meter
32:33
and if a character's misery
32:34
meter goes below eight
32:36
they've got to do something
32:37
to that character
32:38
to get them back above eight
32:40
so everybody is always in a
32:43
bad mood fighting for
32:45
something um it is awful
32:48
and I heard a rumor or I
32:51
read somewhere that they
32:52
are going to spin off two
32:53
shows from this and I'm
32:55
like how in the hell can
32:57
they spin off two it's in
32:58
its third season there's um
33:03
How are they going to spin
33:03
off two shows from this
33:05
when this one is so bad and
33:07
the writers are so bad and
33:08
now you're going to split
33:09
up the writing into three shows?
33:11
Oh my gosh.
33:14
Please don't.
33:14
Please don't.
33:15
Just put it out of its misery.
33:18
It's awful.
33:19
Awful, awful, awful.
33:24
Denise says FBI international sucks too.
33:27
I never got pulled into the FBI shows.
33:29
Uh, so, uh, thankfully there,
33:32
but I wish I'd never my, so my mom,
33:37
my dad passed away a couple of years ago.
33:38
My mom calls me quite a bit
33:41
and she watches fire country.
33:43
And the only reason I even
33:44
started is so that we'd
33:44
have something to talk
33:45
about and I can't do it anymore.
33:47
I just can't.
33:51
I can't.
33:54
One surprise thing I did want to point out,
33:56
I talked about Christmas
33:57
movies on Monday.
34:00
I ended up watching Dear
34:01
Santa on Paramount Plus the other night.
34:05
And the premise of this movie is,
34:07
it's a Jack Black movie,
34:10
but the premise is that a
34:11
kid with dyslexia goes to
34:13
write his letter to Santa
34:15
and accidentally,
34:16
because of this dyslexia,
34:18
writes a letter to Satan.
34:21
And Jack Black plays Satan,
34:23
and he comes to the kid's
34:25
bedroom to give him three wishes.
34:29
It turns out to be a very
34:30
heartwarming and funny movie.
34:33
I think my bar was set pretty low,
34:36
and it cleared it by a mile.
34:37
It is funny.
34:39
It is endearing.
34:40
It was a really surprise,
34:42
fun movie to watch.
34:44
So if you're looking for a
34:45
different Christmas movie,
34:48
Dear Santa really hit a home run for me.
34:51
So awesome to that.
34:53
And then just one news clip
34:55
I wanted to talk about,
34:56
and that is Kirk Cousins
34:58
was benched overnight.
35:01
I woke up this morning to
35:02
the news that he'll be
35:02
benched for the Atlanta Falcons.
35:04
He's thrown nine
35:05
interceptions and one
35:06
touchdown in his last four games.
35:09
Those are not numbers that
35:10
keep you competing as a quarterback.
35:15
I do have a small rant about it, though,
35:17
that, like,
35:18
Kirk Cousins was the best
35:20
play-action passer in the NFL.
35:22
Goes to Atlanta,
35:23
and they don't run any play-action pass.
35:26
Why would you sign a guy
35:27
that does something that
35:28
you're not willing to do?
35:30
Makes no sense to me.
35:32
But he signed for a lot of money.
35:34
If they cut him,
35:36
they're still going to owe
35:37
him ninety million dollars.
35:41
And one thing that Kirk
35:42
Cousins has been amazing at
35:44
is earning money.
35:46
His, for a second,
35:48
maybe even third tier
35:49
quarterback in the NFL, I'd argue second,
35:52
second tier quarterback,
35:54
his career earnings are two
35:56
hundred and ninety four million dollars.
35:59
two hundred and ninety four
36:00
million dollars.
36:01
And I don't think that
36:02
includes the ninety he will

37:02
this is a,
37:03
we'll just talk about anything
37:05
that's on our mind lunch,
37:06
but it's just to hang out
37:07
at lunch with everybody and
37:10
break up the day a little bit.
37:12
Don't forget to tune in to
37:13
Sunday Night CrossFit Talk.
37:16
And the roundtable will be
37:17
in this time slot tomorrow.
37:19
So the whole crew will be here tomorrow.
37:21
Then Sunday Night CrossFit
37:22
Talk with Carolyn and Jamie on Sunday.
37:25
And in that show,
37:26
definitely we're going to
37:27
talk about the Carolyn
37:28
Lambre interview and the
37:32
clip that went viral for sure,
37:34
among other things.
37:35
The other thing is Carolyn
37:36
has a topic that we keep having to skip.
37:39
But it is,
37:40
High Rocks has a traveling
37:44
version of their sport
37:45
where they go to Houston, Chicago, LA,
37:49
Australia.
37:50
And people can then come
37:51
sign up and participate
37:53
together as a community.
37:55
Is that something that
37:57
CrossFit could put together?
38:00
And how should it be laid out?
38:06
So that's something to think
38:07
about as we get into the
38:09
Sunday night CrossFit talk show,
38:10
because that's something
38:11
we're going to talk about
38:12
there is how can we make a
38:16
traveling CrossFit show
38:18
that the community can get involved with.
38:25
With that.
38:27
Thank you so much, guys.
38:29
We'll see you tomorrow for
38:31
the Clydesdale Media Roundtable.
38:33
And then I'll be back doing
38:34

38:36
Lunch with the Clydesdale.
38:38

38:41

38:42
