Lunch with the Clydesdale - Happy 4th of July!!! · Clydesdale Media Podcast

0:33
What is going on, everybody?
0:34
Happy Fourth of July to all
0:37
you people here in the United States.
0:40
And I guess happy Friday to
0:43
everybody else in the world.
0:45
I know Lito's here.
0:46
She's over there in the UK.
0:48
We got Kenneth.
0:50
Glad you guys could be.
0:51
Shay's here for a live.
0:53
Love to see it when Shay can hop in.
0:57
Jody, lunchtime poolside.
1:00
So jealous.
1:03
Yeah,
1:03
Jamie's been sending me pictures of
1:05
her on the boat up on Lake Michigan.
1:08
Man,
1:09
I love being around water on days like
1:11
today.
1:13
Hopefully I can do something
1:15
like that this weekend.
1:19
I know my wife just took
1:20
Walter up to the lake and went swimming.
1:23
And so Walter got some swim
1:24
time this morning.
1:25
What's up, Craig?
1:28
Trained to live.
1:31
Uh, so yeah,
1:33
hoping to get around some
1:34
water later this weekend.
1:36
Um,
1:36
maybe we'll take Walter back up there
1:38
this weekend.
1:39
He loves, loves the water.
1:43
Um,
1:43
I hope I'm not interrupting anybody of
1:45
you who are tuning in to
1:46
see the Nathan's hot dog
1:49
eating contest over there
1:51
at the boardwalk.
1:53
Um, is there anybody that,
1:55
that truly enjoys watching this?
1:58
Like I can't believe the
2:00
ratings a hot dog eating
2:02
contest gets on TV.
2:04
That boggles my mind to this day.
2:08
The gluttony of just shoving
2:12
wet hot dog buns and raw hot dogs into,
2:15
um, into your mouth.
2:18
Just, I've watched it a few times.
2:21
I just can't, just can't anymore.
2:24
Um,
2:27
is joey chestnut still
2:28
around so this is his like
2:30
comeback year apparently
2:32
last year he claimed he was
2:33
vegan and because of that
2:36
the nathan's group kicked
2:37
him out of the hot dog
2:38
eating contest um and then
2:40
now he's back this year so
2:43
I don't know I trained to
2:49
live I thought you were
2:50
having your own hot dog
2:51
eating contest on the lunch
2:52
show today I am not
2:56
I've done eating contests in the past.
3:00
I was in a chicken-winning
3:02
eating contest once,
3:03
and I realized I just don't
3:05
eat that fast.
3:07
I don't eat that fast.
3:11
It was how many chicken
3:12
wings could you eat in fifteen minutes,
3:14
and then you took a five-minute rest,
3:16
and then you got a
3:16
two-minute lightning round.
3:19
And I ate, I think... It was...
3:24
like, I was sick.
3:30
Like, somewhere around thirty.
3:31
The guy who won ate eighty-three.
3:34
Like, I was nowhere even close.
3:38
And that was like twenty years ago.
3:42
But yeah.
3:43
Yeah.
3:45
Yeah.
3:46
Um, Jody Lynn says America.
3:48
Um,
3:49
we're going to talk about America at
3:50
the end of the show today
3:52
and the five things that
3:53
make me feel America.
3:55
Uh, Kenneth to lap says,
3:59
hasn't been the same since
4:00
Kobayashi that we're
4:02
reminiscing about food eaters is crazy.
4:06
Uh,
4:06
trying to get to the gym in maybe heavy
4:09
or cardio.
4:10
It's such a tough choice.
4:12
Something tells me you're leaning heavy.
4:18
So there.
4:21
One funny thing that
4:22
happened today is this and
4:25
I'm going to share my
4:26
screen with you all.
4:30
So my L one expires at the
4:31
end of the year.
4:33
I got this email today from
4:35
CrossFit that we're just
4:38
reaching out to remind you
4:38
that your CrossFit level
4:39
one trainer CFOL one
4:43
credentials expire six
4:44
months in on December
4:46
thirty first twenty twenty five.
4:48
Do you remember a couple of
4:49
months ago when there was a
4:50
judge at Mayhem said I
4:52
didn't I didn't know my thing.
4:54
My credentials expired.
4:57
I didn't know.
4:58
I didn't know.
5:00
How could I know?
5:02
Well,
5:03
here I am six months out and I've got
5:05
a big,
5:05
bold email from CrossFit telling me
5:09
mine's going to expire in six months.
5:11
And then, and when the expiration date is,
5:15
and then these are my options.
5:18
I can do the level one.
5:20
I can do the level two.
5:22
Or I can do the online level one.
5:28
so I had this up ready
5:30
because of what happened a
5:31
few months ago and then I
5:33
saw a hillar post today
5:35
where he showed they
5:36
offered a one-year
5:37
extension for a hundred and
5:39
ninety nine dollars I did
5:41
not get that offer that
5:43
offer is not in this email
5:45
um and then I honestly I've
5:50
talked about this on the
5:51
show I don't know whether
5:52
I'm going to extend
5:55
My CrossFit level one,
5:56
I don't coach anymore.
5:57
I do the media thing.
5:59
I don't judge anymore.
6:00
That's really why I did the second one.
6:04
I coached for like four
6:05
years at my gym and then, and I loved it.
6:09
But the media thing just
6:10
takes over everything.
6:11
So I don't know whether I'm
6:16
going to keep my going or not.
6:21
I loved taking the course.
6:23
I've taken it both in person and online.
6:26
The online I think is way
6:27
harder than the in person.
6:29
The in person is much more stretched out.
6:33
You do a little bit here,
6:34
a little bit here, a little bit there.
6:36
The online, man,
6:37
it's crammed in and you're
6:41
doing a lot of moving in a couple hours.
6:46
I was so sore at the end of
6:48
my online L-One.
6:52
but yeah.
6:58
Uh, Denise says,
6:58
I think you should ask for an extension.
7:01
Uh, I just,
7:02
I don't know what it means to me anymore.
7:03
I'm not coaching.
7:04
I'm not, I'm not judging.
7:07
I don't need the credentials.
7:10
So I just don't know.
7:14
I've always wanted to get my
7:15
L two just to see what it was to see what,
7:19
what was in it.
7:20
But,
7:22
is it worth a thousand
7:23
dollars for me to to just
7:26
see and be curious uh jody
7:31
says but what if there's a
7:32
judging emergency and they
7:34
need you uh I think they'll
7:37
be okay uh denise showing
7:44
she's better than all of us
7:46
she did three hours of
7:47
working out this morning on a holiday
7:51
And she is hot and tired.
7:55
What's up, Meredith?
7:57
So, yeah,
7:58
just to show that CrossFit does
8:00
actually notify you when
8:02
your L-I or L-II is going
8:04
to expire and gives you
8:06
fair warning to sign up for
8:07
another class to keep it going.
8:10
So some of the excuses that
8:11
were brought out back then
8:13
really don't hold a lot of water.
8:22
Jody Lynn,
8:23
Siobhan promoted your show when
8:24
he signed off.
8:25
I was there.
8:26
I heard it.
8:28
I love me some Tudor Magda.
8:30
Tudor has been one of my
8:31
favorite athletes for a very long time.
8:34
I met him when James
8:35
Townsend was coaching him.
8:37
Got to meet them at,
8:39
I think it was the MAC back
8:41
a few years ago and hung
8:42
out with them outside the
8:43
venue for a little bit.
8:46
Really been a big fan of Tudor ever since.
8:53
Next,
8:53
they need to release a list of all
8:54
media people that have
8:55
CrossFit certification.
8:58
Yeah.
8:58
Well, right now, me.
8:59
Right now, me.
9:06
Wanted to talk quickly.
9:07
You know,
9:08
I review all the documentaries
9:09
that come out.
9:11
So I watched the Fee,
9:12
Saga Fee documentary that Hiller did.
9:16
I don't think...
9:19
It is definitely my favorite
9:21
video of the year.
9:27
So I would give it an A+.
9:30
I think the highlights of
9:33
the video are in all of that time,
9:37
they never really talk
9:38
about this year's games.
9:40
They talk about her upbringing.
9:43
They talk about her being a violinist,
9:45
which that just warmed my
9:46
heart that she played the
9:48
violin for Hiller.
9:50
I've been begging for that in a video.
9:56
Charlie and I make a brief
9:57
appearance in the video.
9:59
Not that that's the highlight,
10:01
but it was cool to see that we made it.
10:06
What else?
10:07
The steroid talk I thought
10:09
was fascinating.
10:11
And then, of course, the end of the video.
10:13
And I don't want to put any
10:14
spoilers out if you have not seen it.
10:17
It gets really deep, really emotional.
10:20
And you get all the feels at
10:23
the end of that video.
10:24
And I thought Hiller
10:24
captured it amazingly.
10:27
And he should be commended for it.
10:29
I also thought the stuff in
10:31
the gym was not like about training.
10:35
it was like about the
10:36
relationships with Dallin and Jason and,
10:39
and I just, I,
10:45
the only part that I had a
10:46
hard time understanding was
10:47
Matt Torres's thought process.
10:50
And I was actually talking
10:50
to another coach last night
10:52
and he was like, Oh yeah, that's the,
10:54
that's the stuff I get into
10:56
like diving into Matt Torres's brain.
10:59
And I'm like, well, he,
11:01
that was way over my
11:03
capability as a coach.
11:05
So, uh, so it, but he loved it.
11:10
And I just, I, I,
11:13
I see your comments in here.
11:15
Uh, trained to live.
11:16
A fee doc was a hundred out of ten.
11:19
Uh, Jose,
11:20
best documentary in the amount of
11:22
time I've done CrossFit in my opinion.
11:25
Yeah, I,
11:25
it's definitely my favorite of the year.
11:28
I don't want to get caught
11:29
into like hyperbole and say
11:30
that it's the greatest of all time,
11:33
but it may be the greatest of all time.
11:36
Um,
11:37
And maybe that's something
11:39
we can talk about in the
11:40
future is going back through,
11:42
because I've probably
11:43
watched every documentary
11:46
that CrossFit has ever done.
11:50
I have not watched all the side stuff,
11:52
but I've watched every one
11:53
CrossFit has done.
11:56
And there's a couple that
11:58
may compete with it for different reasons,
12:03
but man, it's up there in the top five,
12:05
I think, for sure.
12:07
No, I don't think for sure.
12:09
It is a top five video all time.
12:11
It may be the best one ever.
12:14
It may be the best one ever.
12:18
Lito says, haven't seen it yet.
12:20
Saving it for tonight.
12:21
I will not give you any spoilers,
12:26
but it's really, it's really,
12:29
it grabs you right at the beginning.
12:32
It's pretty amazing.
12:34
Meredith says, excellent film.
12:35
Really, truly enjoyed it.
12:40
I know you've talked about it before,
12:41
and I think Fee's
12:42
personality and openness
12:43
and willingness to be
12:44
vulnerable made that video great.
12:47
I agree.
12:49
But it also takes the
12:50
interviewer or the person
12:52
doing the content,
12:54
it takes them working to
12:56
know a little bit about the
12:59
person's background to be
13:00
able to ask the right
13:01
questions to get you there.
13:05
And that's where the
13:06
difference between Hiller
13:09
and the road to the games are.
13:11
He did enough research going
13:13
to Fee's house that he knew
13:15
what to ask her.
13:19
And I know he did because
13:20
him and I actually talked
13:21
about it this week.
13:26
So he knew before he got to
13:27
her place a list of things
13:29
that he wanted to get to.
13:33
And that is like really key.
13:37
Like every interview I do for this podcast,
13:41
like I have a list of notes
13:43
of things that I want to
13:44
get to and how to kind of
13:46
set up the situation so
13:48
that the person does trust
13:50
me and the person does understand.
13:53
I think it's something that I have
13:58
By the games last year,
14:00
I was rolling in that
14:01
department of getting
14:03
people to that area.
14:05
Because a lot of the people we interview,
14:07
nobody's ever heard of.
14:09
We were doing semifinal athletes,
14:10
master's athletes, all of that stuff.
14:13
You have to do enough
14:14
research to know how to get
14:15
them there and then ask the
14:18
right questions.
14:20
been a little out of
14:21
practice and so I don't
14:22
think I'm as on my game as
14:24
I was last year and I'd
14:26
really like to get back to
14:27
that um just really hard to
14:30
get back on the horse um do
14:37
you think killer is doing
14:38
this to make a point about
14:39
the road to the games I think
14:49
I think that may have been a
14:50
small piece of the
14:51
motivation at one point in time,
14:57
but I think that he has
15:00
learned that he really loves doing this.
15:05
And I think that the product
15:07
that comes out at the end, he is very,
15:10
very proud of.
15:13
If that answers your question, Kenneth.
15:16
I do think part of that was
15:18
motivation at the beginning,
15:20
and then he realized he's
15:22
pretty good at this,
15:23
and I think he really likes doing it.
15:32
Do you think the issue with
15:33
Road to the Games is they
15:34
don't have enough time as
15:36
they're trying to cover a
15:37
large number of athletes in
15:38
a fairly short time?
15:43
I think that it doesn't take
15:44
that long to research a person.
15:52
Go back to when we were
15:53
doing a hundred semifinal
15:55
athletes in like six weeks
15:58
or last year when we did
16:00
fifty Masters athletes in four weeks.
16:05
You can still get a lot of
16:06
research done in that
16:08
amount of time to ask the
16:09
right questions.
16:15
Denise says,
16:16
you've had a lot going on this year.
16:17
Scott, give yourself some grace.
16:19
I have had a lot going on this year,
16:20
and I am giving myself some grace.
16:22
I just know that I really
16:28
prided myself on my interviewing ability,
16:31
and it has fallen off
16:33
because of my busyness this year.
16:36
And we'll get back there.
16:37
We'll get back there.
16:39
But I started this lunch
16:40
show and this has been
16:41
something different that
16:42
I've had to commit to and
16:43
had to get better at each day.
16:45
And I talked about that
16:46
earlier in the week.
16:47
Like just talking by myself
16:49
to a camera and seeing you
16:51
guys in the chat is a
16:52
different experience than
16:53
doing a show with Carolyn
16:55
and Jamie where we're
16:55
talking to each other.
16:57
And I just had to get better at this too.
17:00
But we'll get back to it.
17:02
Yeah.
17:07
I will,
17:08
I will talk about that another time.
17:11
So I, the fee documentary, a plus, uh,
17:15
I know some of you said,
17:16
go watch the tier videos.
17:19
They're really well done.
17:20
So I've watched Abby Domitz.
17:22
I've watched Romans.
17:25
I may have watched one other
17:27
this week and they,
17:30
I do think they're better
17:31
than road to the games, uh,
17:33
But I still think they rely
17:35
on the training scenes way
17:37
too much and not about the
17:39
personal stuff.
17:44
And that's the big
17:44
difference between what
17:46
Hiller's putting out and
17:48
what the others are putting out.
17:52
So I enjoyed the Abbey Dome
17:54
video and I enjoyed the Roman video.
17:58
quite a bit,
17:59
but they're not at the level
18:01
of Hip and Steel, Horvath, Hopper,
18:07
and Fee.
18:09
Those are a different tier.
18:14
Pardon the pun.
18:16
But tier does a pretty good job.
18:17
They're very well produced.
18:19
They look really nice.
18:24
But they're also trying to
18:25
promote a product.
18:27
So they want you to see the tier shoes,
18:31
the tier sports bra,
18:33
the tier shorts in action in the gym.
18:37
So their motivation may be a
18:38
little bit different than
18:41
Hiller who's just trying to
18:43
hear the story.
18:50
So I enjoyed the tier.
18:53
I don't think it's on the
18:54
Hiller or that Laura Horvat video thing.
19:00
But it's really good and entertaining.
19:06
Then I watched Road to the
19:07
Games last night with Harry Lightfoot,
19:11
Amy Kringle, and Callan Clemens.
19:15
And it may be the best one
19:18
that they've done so far.
19:21
I think my problem with Road
19:22
to the Games is it's almost
19:23
by accident that they do a good video.
19:29
Harry Lightfoot,
19:31
I've got to get him on the show.
19:32
That dude is hilarious.
19:34
His personality comes out,
19:37
and they did more –
19:40
they did more outside the
19:41
gym stuff with those three.
19:43
They talked about Amy
19:44
Kringle wanting to make a
19:45
granola company and they
19:47
went swimming with Kellen
19:49
Clements in the ocean and
19:52
Harry Lightfoot and his wife,
19:55
girlfriend fighting about
19:56
carrying the groceries up the stairs.
19:58
And Harry Lightfoot's dad is hilarious.
20:01
Yes.
20:02
All of that was hilarious.
20:05
much better than in the gym
20:06
stuff I think but I don't
20:09
know again if it's by
20:10
accident or or just
20:13
circumstances made it so
20:15
that they did more of that
20:17
but that's the stuff I want
20:18
to see that's the stuff I
20:22
want to see and I thought
20:24
it was it was much better I
20:25
would give that an a minus
20:28
that road to the games it's
20:30
probably the best one of the year
20:34
And what's crazy is the week
20:36
before was a D with the
20:37
Lucys that I thought was
20:39
the worst one of the year.
20:44
So there's some good content
20:48
out for this weekend.
20:49
If you have not seen it,
20:51
the most recent Road to the
20:53
Games is actually pretty good.
20:55
The tier stuff out there is pretty good.
20:58
And then the fee thing is
20:59
just knock your socks off good.
21:06
Lito said it was so funny,
21:08
but it was definitely due
21:08
to their personalities.
21:10
I agree.
21:11
I agree.
21:15
I think Harry Lightfoot stole the show.
21:17
I thought Callan Clements
21:18
was kind of funny that he
21:19
has to park down around the
21:21
block from his apartment
21:24
because he can't find a parking spot.
21:26
And it's almost a workout
21:28
getting from his apartment to the car.
21:29
I thought that was pretty funny.
21:32
But I loved when like him
21:33
and his buddies were
21:34
swimming in the ocean.
21:36
I thought that was super cool.
21:39
And a really like
21:40
lighthearted way to look at
21:41
things in their personal life.
21:45
And then when the Kringle
21:47
Lightfoot thing ended at
21:48
the restaurant and the
21:50
contradiction between
21:52
Lightfoot needing to count
21:53
every single one of his
21:55
macros and Amy Kringle not caring at all.
22:02
Kenneth says,
22:03
Frogrips put some good ones out too.
22:06
Yeah,
22:06
I think the only problem that these
22:08
companies putting them out
22:09
is their agenda is that
22:13
they have to show their product.
22:16
So that's going to mean that
22:17
they're going to rely more
22:18
on the training scenes than
22:20
the personal stories behind everything.
22:27
His girlfriend buying him a woman's razor.
22:30
Yeah, that was great.
22:33
Because Harry has no hair on his legs.
22:37
Harry is the wrong first
22:38
name for that guy.
22:46
So there you go.
22:52
So that is my reviews for
22:55
the week on the CrossFit content.
22:59
I also watched Coffee Pods
23:00
and Wads yesterday with Dave Castro.
23:04
I thought it was a really good interview.
23:05
I thought Dave was more
23:07
relaxed than I'd seen him
23:08
in a long time during an interview.
23:12
I thought the question of the episode was,
23:17
with everything that happened,
23:19
do you ever feel like you
23:21
just want to say F off and go away?
23:24
And the long pause that Dave
23:27
took before he said, let's move on.
23:35
was more telling than if he
23:37
actually answered the question.
23:42
Because I do think he's been
23:43
through a lot.
23:45
And I was thinking about it.
23:47
I've thought a lot about last year.
23:49
Being at those games was really hard.
23:55
I think that he has been through a lot.
23:58
And...
24:02
I think that when Peter
24:03
pointed out that him and Boz had talked,
24:05
that Boz says that if it wasn't for Dave,
24:08
they wouldn't have made it through,
24:09
or Dave was the only person
24:10
that could get them through
24:12
the games last year.
24:14
I actually had lots of
24:15
conversations with Boz at
24:16
the games last year, and he was cracked,
24:21
and he was a shell of himself.
24:25
And because of that,
24:26
I do believe he was right.
24:32
I think that people
24:33
nitpicking about what Dave
24:35
said in a moment of crisis
24:38
is completely unfair
24:43
because I don't know how I
24:45
would have handled it any better.
24:47
It's easy to take shots at
24:50
people in those moments of weakness.
24:54
But if I put myself in those shoes,
24:57
I don't,
24:57
I don't know if I could do any better.
25:00
I don't know if I could
25:00
remember everything,
25:02
every word that I used,
25:04
every word that was said to
25:06
a T in a crisis situation
25:08
to then convey to other
25:10
people as I'm probably
25:13
going through a grieving process myself.
25:21
I don't know.
25:22
I think that's really hard.
25:23
And the expectations that
25:24
some people had during that
25:26
time I think is completely unfair.
25:35
CrossFit says,
25:37
you have to think how many
25:38
times Dave had to have
25:39
those brutal talks and thoughts.
25:41
He was bound to misspeak or slip up.
25:44
I agree.
25:46
Nobody under that situation, I guess,
25:52
take a step back and ask yourself,
25:55
if I was in that situation at that time,
25:58
how would I have handled it differently?
26:00
And if you don't have an
26:01
answer after six months or nine months,
26:04
Think about he had.
26:07
Sixty minutes, two hours.
26:12
That's when when Ben
26:14
Bergeron came out and said
26:16
he would have done things the right way,
26:18
but he couldn't explain
26:18
what the right way was.
26:20
I was like that dude's off
26:22
his freaking rocker.
26:26
Anyway.
26:28
thought it was a great
26:28
interview um but I thought
26:30
that part of the interview
26:31
was the best in the
26:32
highlight and uh told a lot
26:41
I guess I'm ready to make
26:42
an announcement um I've had
26:46
meetings with the person
26:48
that I'm going to follow at
26:49
this year's crossfit games
26:52
and their coach we had a
26:54
long meeting last night
26:55
talking about ground rules
26:57
And I've talked about it
26:58
this week that Savan
27:00
already does a behind the scenes and then,
27:04
um,
27:05
buttery bros tried to do their version
27:07
of behind the scenes.
27:08
And then Craig Ritchie tried
27:10
to do their version of behind the scenes.
27:12
And I just,
27:13
I don't want to do another just
27:15
basic behind the scenes.
27:20
Cause it's already being done.
27:21
And I don't think I could do
27:22
any better than the Savan
27:23
crew does already.
27:26
So what I'm going to do is
27:27
I'm going to follow one athlete,
27:30
one athlete from beginning to end.
27:33
And actually, prior to the games,
27:39
we're going to talk to this
27:41
athlete and their coach and
27:43
get some footage.
27:44
And then we'll get it as
27:45
they arrive and through check-in.
27:49
as they prepare the days
27:51
before the games his
27:52
check-ins on tuesday the
27:54
games don't start till
27:55
friday and there's all that
27:57
time in between and how you
27:58
handle that and then we're
28:01
going to be with them the
28:02
entire weekend I have asked
28:05
for enhanced coverage uh
28:07
media access to be behind
28:09
the scenes in the warm-up
28:11
area with them um and do
28:14
some other stuff on there as well
28:16
I have not heard back on that.
28:18
Hopefully I can get that.
28:20
If not, we have a plan B for all of that.
28:29
And it's all been agreed to
28:33
by the athlete and the coach.
28:35
And I'm going to highlight
28:36
the coach more than it's
28:37
been done in the past.
28:39
And their process through
28:40
this whole thing as well.
28:43
And I'm going to tell you
28:44
who it is right now.
28:44
Everybody's asking for a hint.
28:46
It's not a Lucy.
28:49
It had to be someone.
28:50
I've never done this before.
28:52
I'm setting up a proof of
28:53
concept for the future,
28:55
and it had to be somebody
28:56
that I trust implicitly and
28:58
who trusts me.
29:00
And that person is what
29:02
Train to Live said.
29:04
It is Hattie Canio.
29:07
So we are going to follow
29:08
Hattie Canio from now up
29:13
until the games until
29:15
And through the games and
29:17
we're going to have a
29:18
conversation after the games.
29:20
Um,
29:21
I got a whole hotel room in the same
29:24
hotel as her.
29:25
So we are going to be in
29:26
close proximity and we're
29:29
going to have those
29:30
conversations and it's
29:33
going to be amazing.
29:35
Uh, so I'm really psyched for that.
29:38
Um,
29:40
I think,
29:41
and she has promised me tons of
29:43
dance parties and lots of
29:46
pasta is how she calls it.
29:48
Uh,
29:50
so we're going to be staying in the
29:52
same hotel room.
29:53
We're going to be able to, um,
29:55
be with each, uh, be with each other.
29:59
If need be.
30:01
Um,
30:02
and we set the ground rules and it's
30:06
going to be awesome.
30:08
So this is awesome.
30:11
I think we've talked about this last night,
30:13
Jose,
30:14
that you would be taking some
30:15
pictures for her.
30:17
So I want to be able to work
30:19
with you as well.
30:20
And we'll credit you in the
30:22
documentary and maybe do
30:23
some stills as part of the documentary.
30:31
CrossFit says,
30:32
bring some ketchup chips for Hattie.
30:34
There you go.
30:36
Or how do you bring them?
30:38
So yeah, we're super excited for that.
30:39
We had a long meeting last night.
30:41
All the ground rules are set.
30:42
We're ready to go.
30:47
But I cannot wait to do this.
30:50
It's something new for me.
30:52
It's going to expand me
30:53
outside of my comfort zone.
30:55
But I think that we can do a
30:56
really cool job.
30:58
I did this kind of once
30:59
before with Jamie before
31:01
she became a co-host.
31:03
I did a documentary with her
31:04
during quarterfinals.
31:07
I think it was quarterfinals
31:09
when she was in the thirty
31:10
five to thirty nine year old division.
31:12
And I spent the entire
31:13
weekend with her and her
31:14
family and we captured all of that.
31:18
And and so now I now that
31:21
I've learned some things,
31:22
I want to do something even better.
31:31
Uh, James W he's a few minutes behind,
31:34
but another comment on Dave is, uh,
31:37
we have no idea what orders
31:38
he was getting from Don
31:39
fall and the board of directors.
31:41
He probably did the best he
31:42
could under the circumstances.
31:44
I would even go a step
31:47
further and say that he was
31:49
put out there to be the
31:51
shield for the board and
31:53
Don foul Don fall.
31:58
Uh, so.
32:01
think he was put out there
32:02
to be the scapegoat uh
32:08
trained to live would you
32:09
do the same thing for
32:10
carolyn at matt for masters
32:14
right now I'm trying to do
32:15
an overall behind the
32:16
scenes because the masters
32:18
community doesn't get that
32:19
like they the elite
32:20
athletes do so I'd like to
32:22
do like a more overall
32:24
behind the scenes of the
32:26
masters including all of them
32:29
And that would include like
32:30
Lito and Jamie and Rudy
32:33
burger and like all of them, Denise,
32:38
all the people that are in
32:39
the chat that are just
32:40
freaking awesome athletes.
32:42
Um, yeah, we're, we'll do,
32:47
we're going to do some
32:48
behind the scenes stuff.
32:50
I still don't have like the final,
32:51
final approval on that,
32:53
but I think we're getting it.
32:55
Um,
32:56
And if we don't,
32:57
we're going to do something else.
32:58
We're going to,
32:58
we're getting in the
32:59
building and we're going to do something.
33:01
And if it's something like more of a,
33:04
like exclusive access with
33:05
Jamie and Carolyn,
33:07
maybe that's what it is
33:08
because we'll all be here.
33:10
I don't know,
33:15
but you're going to get
33:16
something from the masters
33:17
games for sure.
33:19
Um, that, that, those are my people.
33:26
All right.
33:28
I'm so excited to do this, guys.
33:30
Thank you so much for the comments.
33:33
Denise is like, nice.
33:37
Lito's nice.
33:39
Tringle is super pumped for that.
33:44
Fellow Canadian, let's go.
33:48
Very exciting.
33:51
Yeah, so really excited about this one.
33:55
And then back on the Dave thing,
33:57
CrossFit says he was being
33:58
the villain for the brand by design.
34:00
That is said better than I
34:02
could have said it.
34:07
Denise, I'll do anything for you, Scott.
34:09
Thank you.
34:10
Denise was a highlight in
34:11
last year's behind the scenes.
34:14
My favorite part is when I
34:15
snuck up behind her and she
34:17
didn't see me and turned
34:18
around and was startled.
34:19
And I got to capture that on camera.
34:22
That was one of my favorite moments.
34:25
She was just trying to get
34:25
some post-workout or pre-workout in.
34:28
I snuck up on her.
34:31
All right.
34:32
We are going to talk about
34:33
the five things that make
34:35
me feel proud about America.
34:38
America.
34:39
Not America.
34:40
America.
34:42
And so the first thing on my list,
34:45
and this is no particular order.
34:46
These are just the five
34:48
things that make me feel America.
34:52
And my first one is...
34:55
Rocky Balboa, red, white, and blue shorts.
35:00
Rocky IV, great movie.
35:02
Rocky is my favorite movie of all time.
35:05
And Rocky in the red, white,
35:06
and blue taking on the Russians,
35:08
that makes me feel America.
35:11
But you know what elevates this even more?
35:15
You know what that is?
35:17
It's when someone so iconic
35:22
as Rich Froning...
35:24
Oh, no.
35:26
Is it gone?
35:29
I lost it.
35:31
Oh, no.
35:36
I had it.
35:41
I think I lost it.
35:44
Oh, no, here we go.
35:46
When someone like Rich Froning
35:49
wears the rocky balboa
35:51
shorts in an open workout
35:54
the icon himself that when
35:57
he ripped off the
35:59
basketball pants to reveal
36:02
the rocky balboa shorts
36:04
that's america that's
36:07
america right there the
36:11
next thing on my list is
36:15
and this is going to have a
36:16
little bit of a riff in it um
36:24
clear out some of these tabs
36:31
is I love me some fireworks.
36:34
Fireworks make me feel like America.
36:39
I love the booms.
36:40
I love the explosions.
36:43
And here in Columbus,
36:44
we have a massive fireworks
36:45
display downtown.
36:47
It is supposed to be the
36:48
largest fireworks display in the Midwest.
36:52
And it takes up most of downtown.
36:56
And I love me some fireworks.
36:58
But last night,
37:00
they opened the show with
37:02
something that doesn't make
37:03
me feel America.
37:05
And I'm already over it.
37:10
And that is... I think it's this one.
37:17
Is this the drone shows?
37:22
What the hell is this?
37:25
They did a drone show for like,
37:26
fifteen minutes prior to the fireworks,
37:29
and it made no sense to me.
37:32
There's no sounds, there's no booms,
37:35
there's no echoes,
37:38
there's no... It's just...
37:43
you get little shapes in the
37:44
sky all done by computer
37:48
and I guess it's kind of
37:50
cool for a couple minutes
37:52
but fifteen minutes not not
37:55
nice not nice at all give
37:59
me my fireworks leave the
38:01
drones alone all right so
38:06
fireworks america drones not america
38:13
Then the next thing is,
38:16
and I meant to bring down
38:17
the album to show you,
38:19
the album is Nothing Makes
38:22
Me Feel America More Than
38:23
When Ray Charles Sings
38:26
America the Beautiful.
38:28
When he sings America the Beautiful,
38:30
he does it in a way that
38:31
just makes me have goosebumps.
38:34
Nobody else can do it.
38:36
And I don't care how many
38:37
years in a row I've heard that song.
38:40
It never grates on my nerves.
38:42
Just give me some Ray
38:43
Charles singing America the Beautiful.
38:50
Denise,
38:51
drone shows and three-D movies get
38:52
the same meh for me.
38:58
I hear you.
38:59
I hear you.
39:01
Yeah.
39:02
The three D movie thing.
39:03
I'm over that too.
39:05
Just let me enjoy the movie.
39:09
So Ray Charles, America, the beautiful, uh,
39:14
the next thing on my list for America is
39:29
Bald eagles.
39:32
Nothing gives you a goose
39:33
bump more than seeing a
39:35
bald eagle in the wild.
39:39
Where I live in Western Pennsylvania,
39:42
there's a couple areas
39:43
around where I live where
39:45
there are eagle's nests.
39:48
And one of them is on the
39:50
way to get back here to
39:52
Columbus from my mom's
39:54
house in Pennsylvania.
39:56
My wife and I were driving down this road.
39:59
It's like a freeway.
40:00
It goes down from one
40:02
mountaintop and into a
40:03
valley and then up into the
40:05
other side of the mountaintop.
40:07
We hit the valley one time
40:10
and an eagle literally came
40:12
by flying right beside the window.
40:16
Talk about one freaking you out,
40:18
two majestic and beautiful
40:21
and three goosebumps from hell.
40:24
Man, that's America right there.
40:26
They are the most amazing,
40:29
beautiful birds you could ever imagine.
40:31
And to see them in the wild
40:33
is just amazing.
40:37
So my final,
40:40
final America thing is going to be this.
40:46
And I am going to be very specific.
40:51
And it is hot dogs.
40:52
This is my favorite kind of hot dog.
40:57
And that is the Chicago style hot dog.
40:59
But every Fourth of July,
41:02
I got to have a hot dog.
41:05
Some years we do the footlong.
41:06
Some years we do regular dogs.
41:12
But we always have hot dogs
41:13
on the Fourth of July.
41:15
That is what my wife and I do.
41:18
This is the Chicago dog.
41:20
It has got tomatoes on it.
41:22
It's got peppers.
41:23
It's got pickle and mustard
41:25
and the green relish,
41:26
the bright green relish on
41:28
a poppy seed bun.
41:31
And you got to get that.
41:32
It's like a red snap hot dog.
41:35
It is freaking amazing.
41:37
If I can't get a Chicago hot
41:39
dog made the way I want it made,
41:41
then I just like ketchup, onion,
41:44
and nacho cheese.
41:46
Nacho cheese.
41:50
That's what I want.
41:51
So either Chicago style hot dog or ketchup,
41:56
onion, nacho cheese.
41:59
What do you like on your hot dog?
42:04
Oh, cross fat says cat ketchup.
42:06
Gasp.
42:07
Yeah.
42:08
My wife is a mustard fiend.
42:11
We have to buy like mustard
42:13
by the keg as much as she puts on stuff.
42:18
It's funny because like on the Chicago dog,
42:19
I would never put ketchup.
42:21
Like it's got to be mustard.
42:25
But man, if I'm just, I don't know,
42:27
getting a plain dog, I just want ketchup,
42:29
onion, nacho cheese.
42:30
It's the ketchup and nacho cheese.
42:32
That's the mix I like.
42:34
That's the mix I like.
42:37
It's the nacho.
42:37
If it wasn't nacho cheese,
42:41
then I would not want ketchup.
42:42
I'd want mustard.
42:45
But it's a nacho cheese and
42:46
ketchup mixture,
42:47
which is awesome on fries, by the way,
42:49
too.
42:53
I don't even know what to
42:54
think about this.
42:55
Mayo is sneaky good on a dog.
42:57
Duke's mayo.
43:00
Oh.
43:02
I don't know.
43:05
Can't handle that.
43:06
Plain hot dog for me.
43:07
That's Denise.
43:10
Well, that's a shame.
43:10
That's just not even fun.
43:14
and then Jody Lynn
43:14
Portillo's hot dogs growing
43:16
up was a staple.
43:19
I've only had Portillo's one time and it,
43:22
it did not go well in my stomach.
43:24
I will just say that Jody Lynn,
43:25
it was not enough.
43:27
It was a Portillo's in Fort Wayne,
43:29
Indiana.
43:30
So it was not an authentic
43:31
Chicago Portillo's.
43:33
So I,
43:34
I don't want to judge them based on a
43:37
franchise that may have
43:38
screwed the pooch.
43:43
Um,
43:46
wiener circle there you go
43:51
uh denise says how about a
43:52
pretzel bun I I like a
43:54
pretzel bun if it's toasted
43:56
you gotta toast it if you
43:57
don't toast it it's just it
43:59
just gets a little bit
44:00
harder and um uh and it's
44:07
harder to eat so that's my
44:11
thing uh cross fat uh
44:13
wriggly dogs never been to wriggly field
44:17
been to soldier field,
44:19
never been to Wrigley field,
44:22
but I'll have to try that out sometime.
44:25
Uh,
44:25
I actually have a friend who I judged
44:27
with and he's moved up to judge ranks.
44:29
He's like head judge at
44:31
major comps through the CrossFit world.
44:34
Uh, and he lives in Wrigleyville and, uh,
44:37
maybe go see him sometime and, uh,
44:40
get some authentic Chicago dogs, uh,
44:45
for sure um denise says I'd
44:48
rather have a brat brought
44:49
to um I like italian
44:53
sausage better than brought
44:55
um but I I see where you're
44:56
at um for me if I'm going
44:59
to make a brat I want it to be like
45:02
Uncooked in the casing,
45:04
I boil it in beer and then
45:06
throw it on the grill just
45:07
to give it some flavor.
45:10
But I prefer Italian sausage,
45:13
hot Italian sausage.
45:15
That's me.
45:18
But if you're in Columbus, Denise,
45:20
when you come,
45:21
there's a store here called Schmitz,
45:23
and they have every kind of
45:25
worst and sausage you can imagine.
45:27
It's Schmitz in the German village.
45:30
They are authentic.
45:34
They're as authentic as authentic can be,
45:36
and they have German potato salad.
45:38
They have all the kinds of kraut,
45:41
the purple kraut, the yellow kraut,
45:44
everything you can imagine German-wise.
45:46
It's a great place to go and
45:48
check out when you're here in Columbus.
45:54
So there you go.
46:01
George Wang watching Joey
46:03
Chestnut win the Coney
46:04
Island contest on July fourth.
46:06
Yeah.
46:07
We talked about the top of the show.
46:08
I don't like eating wet,
46:10
soggy buns and plain hot
46:13
dogs just doesn't catch my
46:15
interest anymore.
46:17
That's why we're doing the show.
