Lunch with the Clydesdale - Pat Vellner says Let's do it One Last Time! · Clydesdale Media Podcast

0:03
I am back and better than ever.
0:05
Can't wait to talk about all the CrossFit
0:08
news with you all.
0:10
Next.
0:22
I love the chase and the hunt and
0:23
I set the pace when I'm running.
0:25
I always take what I want and I
0:26
always give it one hundred.
0:28
Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.
0:29
Play the game like it's nothing.
0:31
I'm always thankful for something.
0:32
Don't take for granted, stay humble.
0:34
Now wake up!
0:35
It's time to look at the enemy.
0:37
Look in the mirror if he is no
0:39
friend to me.
0:40
It's not working out,
0:42
maybe it's the chemistry.
0:43
It's time to break up.
0:48
what is going on everybody it's lunchtime
0:50
with the clydesdale hopefully i can make
0:53
it through today's show uh i am feeling
0:56
pretty good today yesterday was a
0:57
completely different story um so yeah
1:02
let's start with that yesterday i i went
1:05
on to the hospital to have a lung
1:07
biopsy done and um
1:12
What got there?
1:13
Gosh, it was a snowstorm.
1:15
We had to go up through I it's
1:16
about an hour away to go do this.
1:20
But I found like the best doctors for
1:22
me are up at this other hospital.
1:24
So um,
1:27
yeah so i went up and had that
1:29
done there uh after driving on some rough
1:31
roads uh got in got some stuff uh
1:36
got some stuff done uh they put me
1:38
under they intubated me i'm that's the
1:40
part i'm worried about for today's show is
1:42
my throat is still pretty scratchy um from
1:45
where the breathing tube was put down
1:48
but that's how they accessed my lungs with
1:51
the cameras and the tools to take three
1:53
different tissue samples.
1:56
And it was to confirm whether I have
1:59
sarcoidosis or possibly a lung infection
2:04
or a fungus growing inside the lung.
2:07
And
2:10
And so that happened yesterday.
2:12
They sent off those tissue samples to the
2:14
lab,
2:15
but initial thoughts by the doctor who did
2:18
the procedure was that the lymph node
2:21
tissue was granular around it where the
2:23
masses are,
2:25
and that actually
2:27
leads him to believe that it is
2:29
sarcoidosis.
2:30
I have some follow-ups coming up and so
2:36
hopefully we'll figure that out,
2:38
figure out a treatment plan.
2:41
If it's sarcoidosis,
2:42
it's very treatable and it is
2:46
uh hopefully something that we can get
2:48
through and get moved on probably not in
2:51
time to like do super well in this
2:53
year's open but i'm gonna do it i'm
2:55
gonna try it i'm gonna figure something
2:57
out and at least put in a score
2:59
every week of some sort some way somehow
3:03
uh just because i want to support this
3:06
community
3:07
uh but overall yesterday was rough i was
3:09
hurting so bad my back and my stomach
3:12
were hurting a lot my abs and they
3:15
say that's normal when people when they're
3:17
working in your lungs um so that was
3:21
rough i was coughing up a lot of
3:23
blood last night um that was rough and
3:27
my throat really hurt it was the first
3:29
time ever that a doctor prescribed me eat
3:32
ice cream eat as much as you can
3:35
um
3:36
Because nobody ever tells me that.
3:39
So I did have some ice cream last
3:40
night.
3:40
It did feel so,
3:42
so good on my throat.
3:45
So yeah, that was good.
3:48
I drank a ton of fluids yesterday.
3:50
A ton of fluids.
3:54
Today, my back feels a little bit better.
3:55
My stomach, my abs are still really...
3:59
sore I feel like I've done I did
4:01
some GHD sit-ups uh but other than that
4:05
I think I'm starting to feel a lot
4:06
better today the uh anesthetic is wearing
4:10
off I'm just hoping that my throat holds
4:13
up for the whole show today um but
4:16
other than that all doing well thank you
4:18
everybody for the thoughts and prayers
4:19
that meant a lot to me you guys
4:21

4:25

4:27

4:30
through everything um lito eight months

4:40
You guys don't know how much that little
4:42
like three ninety nine or six ninety nine,
4:45
whatever level you're at,
4:48
what that means to the show.
4:50
It pays for the platforms that we get
4:52
to put the show on every day,
4:54
every Sunday night.
4:56
And so it just means a ton.
4:59
And to have a supporter like Lito and
5:02
she's just a wonderful human being as well
5:04
is awesome.
5:05

5:40
book.
5:41
Yeah.
5:42
Corey's on my, uh, my list today, man.
5:44
I was hoping he'd hop in today because
5:46
I didn't know how much talking I'd be
5:48
able to do, but there's lots,
5:49
lots to talk about.
5:51

Everyone trying out to eat.

6:33

6:34
We're all trying to get a better score

6:45
Trish, your presence is enough.
6:48
Your presence is enough.
6:49
Don't get that checkbook out.

We don't need you to worry about the
6:53
security of sending a check.
6:55
We're good.
6:56
Your presence is plenty.
7:01
Not only that,
7:02
but Kenneth is a genuinely good dude.
7:04
He is a great dude.
7:05
Like, for a minute,
7:06
I did a Bible show,
7:07
and Kenneth was so much help.
7:10
Like, that man helped drive that show.
7:15
I wish I could have figured out how
7:16
to make that work for a longer period
7:18
of time.

You are an awesome commenter and
8:54
contributor to the show.
8:56
And thank you so much, Trish,
8:57
for the ice cream fund.
9:00
That means a lot.
9:02
After the show, I might need some more.
9:05
Might, yeah.
9:08
And I've been working on my diet so
9:10
hard.
9:11
But man,
9:11
that ice cream was like freaking heaven
9:13
last night.
9:14
I just got to tell you.
9:17
All right,
9:17
so what are we going to talk about?
9:20
If you saw the thumbnail,
9:22
it was the time I met Pat Vellner
9:24
for the first time.
9:26
And I took a selfie with him.
9:28
And I made that the thumbnail today.
9:30
I cartooned it up.
9:31
But he made an announcement over the
9:33
weekend.
9:35
And if this is the picture that makes
9:37
me smile the most...
9:41
And that is Brent Fikowski actually put
9:43
out a tribute to Pat going into his
9:46
final season.
9:47
If you did not see the all-in movies
9:49
back in the day,
9:51
they are so worth the watch.
9:53
There is a whole scene with Pat and
9:58
Brent frolicking in the water,
10:01
trying to get better at swimming.
10:03
And...
10:06
just made me smile everybody's seen the
10:08
pat post he's re he is doing one
10:11
final season of competition including the
10:14
wfp rogue um maybe wadapalooza and he is
10:21
definitely doing the game season one last
10:22
time through so uh
10:27
I'm glad that he's coming back to the
10:29
CrossFit Games before he retires.
10:31
I think that's a cool thing.
10:33
I'm glad he's doing it.
10:36
And I can't wait to see him back
10:38
out on the floor.
10:40
One of my favorite memories of Pat is
10:42
after the sled drag in the twenty three
10:46
semifinals.
10:47
He was so pissed at the sled drag
10:49
and Jamie chased him down the road to
10:52
get an interview with him.
10:54
And it got shared on a lot of
10:55
podcasts.
10:57
And I'm so,
10:58
so stoked that we got that.
11:01
But Pat is really fun.
11:03
I've
11:04
I've had some weird experiences with Pat
11:06
where his wife lost her car keys,
11:09
and Amy and Charlie and I were at
11:11
the athlete area of the games,
11:14
and Amy ended up finding Pat's keys,
11:17
Pat's wife's keys,
11:18
and able to return them to him.
11:20
So I've had some good memories with Pat.
11:22
I'm glad he's coming back for one last
11:24
season.
11:25
I think it's something we all need.
11:29
So...
11:33
And Corey has jumped in the chat.
11:37
There we go.
11:39
Sorry I'm late.
11:39
Work, as it turns out, is a thing.
11:43
Yeah,
11:43
I've been in so many meetings today
11:45
because I missed yesterday.
11:48
Uh, Wayne short,
11:49
you could tell all the boys interrupted,
11:51
truly looked up to Pat as a role
11:52
model.
11:53
I haven't got,
11:54
I've been trying to catch up on all
11:55
the drama in the CrossFit media.
11:57
So I, uh,
11:59
didn't get to see boys interrupted last
12:00
night,
12:00
but I will make sure to go back
12:02
and check that out.
12:07
Cowboy.
12:07
Uh, train all of says cowboy.
12:09
Yeehaw.
12:09
Uh, Charlie versus Corey, twenty,
12:13
twenty six.
12:13
Bring it back.
12:16
listen i know the commitment my boy the
12:18
cowboy has put in this season and i
12:22
have known charlie for a long time i
12:26
i'm i'm a i'm a corey supporter man
12:29
cowboy all the way i love charlie i'm
12:34
gonna leave it at that
12:36
Charlie is one of the most fun people
12:38
to hang out with ever.
12:40
If you ever see Charlie at an event,
12:44
go hang out with him.
12:44
You will have a freaking blast.
12:47
And if Corey and Charlie got together,
12:50
I don't know if the world could take
12:51
that.
12:53
From a fun hanging out standpoint,
12:56
I'm not sure.
12:59
But on the competition floor,
13:00
my boy Corey has got it hands down.
13:06
Again, I love Charlie.
13:07
I'm going to leave it at that.
13:14
Corey, the gator hunter.
13:18
Never actually been alligator hunting.
13:20
I've been crawfishing several times,
13:21
but not so much alligator hunting.
13:26
I like eating alligator.
13:28
I like cooking alligator.
13:31
Yeah, I love eating alligator.
13:33
It's so good.
13:35
Gator gumbo may be top three in my
13:38
all-time list.
13:40
I just lightly breaded and fried.
13:44
Like it that way too?
13:46
So good.
13:47
I was in Savannah, Georgia,
13:48
and they had gator gumbo.
13:49
I had it every single day for lunch.
13:51
In Savannah of all places.
13:52
Okay.
13:53
I know.
13:55
It was weird.
13:56
i mean there's alligators everywhere dude
13:58
not so much up where you are because
13:59
they don't like coal but as soon as
14:01
you get somewhere where it gets actual hot
14:04
in the summertime and there's enough water
14:06
swamp yeah true story when i first moved
14:09
to columbus my next door neighbor had a
14:11
pet cater yeah there you go yeah not
14:14
a fan when i had a newborn baby
14:16
i'd imagine not but you know hey bro
14:20
people just like things
14:26
My neighbor was not of the ilk to
14:29
be responsible enough to have a baby gator
14:32
in the house.
14:34
I'll leave it at that.
14:36
I know a lot of people that are
14:38
not of the ilk to have any sort
14:40
of pet, much less a baby alligator.
14:44
So I'm with you on that one.
14:49
I want to address this right quick.
14:51
Hold on.
14:51
Gators can make their way up the Ohio
14:53
River when it gets warm enough?
14:55
that's a big river they don't eat when
14:58
it's cold which sounds ridiculous but like
15:02
they will basically go into almost a
15:04
hibernation phase whenever they get
15:05
whenever it gets too cold outside um their
15:08
bodies just won't digest the food uh when
15:12
it's when it's too cold they will go
15:13
very very still and they will go very
15:15
very like they'll go deep and just kind
15:17
of hang out come up for every now
15:18
and again but when it's hot
15:21
Or even just warm.
15:22
Yeah, they move a whole lot.
15:24
Or they can move a whole lot,
15:25
I should say.
15:27
And they eat, bro.
15:29
Jeremy does that too.
15:31
He doesn't eat when it gets cold.
15:32
Oh,
15:33
I thought he makes his way up the
15:34
Ohio River when it gets warm enough.
15:38
He's in Wisconsin.
15:39
He'd have to come down the Mississippi.
15:42
Yeah.
15:42
Across to the, yeah.
15:44
All right, a hundred percent.
15:47
Uh, no, what I wanted to,
15:49
what Chad had said up there,
15:51
where is it at?
15:54
Yes.
15:56
That's an excellent question.
15:57
Why is monster games this same weekend as
16:00
the games?
16:03
I don't know.
16:04
That's a fantastic question.
16:06
We did, uh, and by we,
16:07
I mean my, my buddy, uh,
16:10
Gareth emailed Mr. Ansley, Mr.
16:14
Jason Ansley and said that, Hey man,
16:17
if we qualify for monster games,
16:19
pay our registration fee and then make the
16:21
games, like, can we get a refund?
16:24
And he said, yes,
16:25
we will refund you your money because
16:28
Jason Ansley is a good dude.
16:32
High fives all around.
16:37
Um,
16:38
looks like everybody's trying to weigh a
16:40
two hundred, uh, Jeremy two twenty.
16:43
Uh, Kenneth is trying to get there.
16:46
I'm trying to get there, too,
16:47
on the other direction.
16:50
Yeah.
16:51
I'm at one, dude,
16:53
I've been trying to get as lean as
16:55
humanly possible.
16:56
I am still hovering at one-eighty-five,
16:59
one-eighty-six, but feeling pretty good,
17:02
feeling pretty strong.
17:04
Yeah, this week, this weekend,
17:07
I started feeling a lot better.
17:08
I'm really trying to get down and it's
17:11
working.
17:12
And the ice cream last night probably
17:14
didn't help.
17:15
But you got to do what you got
17:16
to do to get through the medical stuff.
17:18
Broders, look,
17:20
once is not going to hurt you.
17:23
It becomes a problem.
17:24
You didn't see how many...
17:26
How much I ate last night, but okay.
17:28
Yeah, I get that.
17:31
I get that.
17:31
But like,
17:32
once is that going to hurt you?
17:33
One of the problems,
17:33
the problem is when we are,
17:35
I've got to have a plate of ice
17:37
cream every single night.
17:39
Yeah.
17:41
And we're not, we're not there yet.
17:45
Yeah, no.
17:45
So, I actually have a Ninja Creamy.
17:48
The thing about the Ninja Creamy that's
17:50
awesome and horrible is that you have to
17:53
prep it and then freeze it for twenty
17:55
four hours.
17:56
So when like the feeling comes over me
17:59
to make it, I mean,
18:01
if I was smart,
18:02
I would make a couple tubs of it,
18:05
have in the freezer ready to go when
18:07
I have that feeling.
18:09
So.
18:12
You know, I have one though.
18:14
Yeah.
18:15
And I,
18:15
and you can make like really low fat,
18:17
low calorie ice cream and you can make
18:20
it protein ice cream and it's still pretty
18:22
damn good.
18:23
Um,
18:25
so that's probably what I need to do
18:27
is make some healthy,
18:29
healthy ice cream to have ready.
18:33
Uh, if he was two twenty,
18:35
he'd be posting a Spiegel pic.
18:36
Yeah.
18:37
with you one hundred percent buddy hey
18:40

18:42
and do it together buddy make it happen
18:48

call them energy waffles they look like a
19:01
stroopwafel yep dude
19:04
I am obsessed right now.
19:06
I got chocolate peanut butter.
19:07
They make a peanut butter strawberry one,
19:09
which is kind of like a peanut butter
19:12
sandwich,
19:13
basically a peanut butter and jelly
19:14
sandwich,
19:14
but it's a little honey stinger thing.
19:17
So good, dude.
19:18
Oh, my God.
19:21
Yeah.
19:21
One last quick news thing before we get
19:22
into some more stuff is,
19:24
I don't know if you guys saw this,
19:26
but Ricky Garrard got married.
19:29
I did not see that.
19:30
Good for him.
19:31
Go ahead, Ricky.
19:32
It's official.
19:33
Mr. and Mrs. Garrard, look at that.
19:36
That's a good-looking couple.
19:37
That is a good-looking couple.
19:39
So congrats to Ricky and his new bride
19:44
for that.
19:45
Super excited for them.
19:48
In the white suit.
19:50
Good dude.
19:53
In the white suit.
19:55
Yeah.
19:55
Yeah.
19:56
It's fresh, Ricky.
19:57
That's fresh, Ricky Mack.
19:58
I like it.
19:58
At one time,
19:59
that would be like the Diddy thing, right?
20:02
Now we call it that.
20:03
We don't call it the Diddy thing anymore.
20:06
No.
20:06
Nobody refers to it.
20:08
I'll put it like this.
20:12
Whatever mix Aaron was playing this
20:15
morning during the six o'clock class,
20:17
it was like a mega mix type deal.
20:20
And one part of it had...
20:25
what's her name mariah carey fantasy on it
20:27
and i was like oh here we go
20:29
singing along and whatnot and i went back
20:31
and looked for it on my phone later
20:33
trying to find like that particular like
20:35
club mix or whatever it was the diddy
20:37
mix and i was like yeah i don't
20:39
think i can listen to that anymore they
20:42
come i have to just pass on that
20:44
or have to go with the original and
20:45
just kind of keep it keep it there
20:47
because i am yeah with anything
20:49
One of my favorite songs of all time
20:51
is Ignition by R. Kelly.
20:52
Yeah.
20:53
I'm having a hard time listening to it
20:55
now.
20:55
Yeah.
20:56
The remix to Ignition,
20:58
hot and fresh out of the kitchen.
20:59
And I can't listen anymore because he
21:00
likes to pee on women.
21:02
Well, and underage women at that.
21:05
Yes.
21:06
Yeah,
21:06
like makes it really hard to listen to
21:09
the music I used to love.
21:12
When you go back and look at his
21:13
stuff when he was with Aaliyah and it
21:14
says like the name of the song was
21:17
A.J.
21:17
Nothin' But a Number.
21:19
That's a problem that we did not even
21:22
identify back then,
21:23
which is horrible to say, but it's true.
21:25
Yeah,
21:26
I hate when musicians take my shit away.
21:29
A hundred percent.
21:29
A hundred percent.
21:31
Stuff I liked before that I can no
21:33
longer like anymore.
21:34
So last thing I have before we move
21:37
on is the clue.
21:41
Oh, I didn't see it.
21:42
It's the clue.
21:43
It's the clue.
21:46
So it looks like...
21:49
The eye of a bison.
21:52
Okay, maybe.
21:55
Yeah, I can see that.
21:57
I thought it was not a tree at
21:58
first.
22:00
It's the eye of an animal.
22:03
I'm guessing bison.
22:05
I don't, maybe, maybe something else.
22:09
Maybe a sheep.
22:10
Maybe, I don't know.
22:12
I can't, the horn doesn't look big,
22:14
but it looks like it curves in real
22:16
quick like a bison.
22:18
But,
22:21
I have no freaking idea.
22:22
I know, dude.
22:27
Not even a little bit.
22:28
Not even like a, oh, maybe that's it.
22:31
If you mess with the bull,
22:33
get the horns.
22:34
Oh, you don't get the horns.
22:36
I don't know.
22:37
I don't know, man.
22:40
I have no idea, brother.
22:41
None whatsoever.
22:42
I don't even know what that might be,
22:43
if I'm being completely honest.
22:47
Which none of his clues ever make any
22:48
sense.
22:49
So...
22:52
yeah i saw this comment mark in his
22:55
week in review uh he says he worries
22:58
his clues are too obvious not a worry
23:01
dude yeah no you can go ahead and
23:03
sleep better at night now not worrying
23:06
about that oh vicky it's a jab the
23:12
year of bullshit
23:21
Oh, shoot.
23:22
I didn't read it before I pulled it
23:24
up, man.
23:24
That's fantastic.
23:29
This confirms burpees over rower.
23:33
You explain that one to me, Kenneth.
23:35
Yeah, I would love to.
23:36
I love to.
23:37
Give me your... Hexy Lover says it's goat,
23:43
the greatest of all time.
23:45
I mean, if it's a bison,
23:47
it's into the storm, then it's...
23:50
Something Rich won in the past?
23:51
Something Rich, maybe.
23:53
So we're starting off with a repeat?
23:57
Repeat of Rich open announcement?
23:58
Repeat of Rich open announcement, yeah.
24:00
What's the one,
24:01
was it Seventeen One that he won after
24:03
he retired with the double unders and and
24:09
then someone tried to beat it recently and
24:13
they did but not by as much as
24:15
people thought they should.
24:17
Can't remember who it was.
24:21
Man.
24:25
I don't know, brother.
24:26
You got me on that one.
24:34
Austin.
24:34
It was Austin.
24:35
Austin tried to redo it.
24:37
And he did beat him,
24:40
but it was just barely.
24:41
But Rich did that workout like eight years
24:44
ago.
24:46
And Austin barely beat him.
24:50
I don't know if y'all know this or
24:51
not, but Rich Froning is pretty fed.
24:55
Yeah.
24:56
Still.
24:58
Still today.
25:00
It is the twentieth year.
25:02
It wouldn't surprise me that there's some
25:06
repeats, right?
25:07
Oh, yeah.
25:08
Absolutely.
25:09
I think there should be some.
25:11
It would only make sense.
25:13
There should be repeated repeats.
25:15
Right.
25:17
We've got...
25:19
Twenty years of stuff to pick from.
25:24
Well, the opening only started in eleven.
25:27
Well, okay.
25:28
So, yeah.
25:29
But I get what you're saying.
25:31
Right.
25:31
So you got fifteen years of stuff to
25:34
pick from.
25:35
Fourteen years, whatever it is.
25:37
Repeats with a twist this year.
25:40
That'd be cool, too.
25:42
That'd be cool.
25:43
I don't know.
25:44
It would have to be...
25:48
It'd have to be,
25:48
it would still have to,
25:49
because there's still going to be the
25:50
first week is still going to be something
25:51
that everybody can do.
25:53
It needs to be something everybody can do.
25:56
Right.
25:57
Is there one open workout considered the
25:58
greatest of all time?
26:01
Uh, the,
26:03
I think there's a couple that are probably
26:04
a couple that would fall underneath there.
26:06
Yeah.
26:06
The, uh,
26:08
the clean ladder with the towed bore.
26:12
Well, I think that.
26:13
Where you buy yourself more time.
26:16
Twenty one to eighteen fifteen burpee over
26:20
bar thruster burpee over bar.
26:23
I think that the dumbbell snatch and the
26:26
box jump overs.
26:30
Is a and it's been done twice.
26:32
Both of those have been repeated because
26:34
they were considered great.
26:36
That one hurt toes.
26:38
The toes to bar in the in the
26:40
clean ladder was a big one.
26:42
Yep.
26:45
And that one was fun.
26:46
Yeah.
26:48
I think both Mark Phillips and Peter
26:51
Benoit are saying the twenty five toes to
26:53
bar fifty dubs clean ladder.
26:56
Yeah.
26:58
Buy yourself more time.
27:01
No, no wall walks, Jody, please.
27:03
Let's not let's not even.
27:07
Wall walks, O.G.
27:10
Wall walks are recent.
27:12
And I hate them.
27:14
Relatively speaking, yeah.
27:19
What was that, like,
27:20
twenty-one or twenty-two when we had them
27:22
with the double owners?
27:24
Yeah, it was not that long ago.
27:27
Like, I'm OG.
27:28
One of my favorites was the deadlift
27:31
ladder and the box jumps where it was
27:37
fifteen box jumps and then you deadlifted.
27:41
And it kept going up in weight every
27:43
time that was, um, fourteen, fourteen,
27:49
three or four.
27:51
I will be down with that one because
27:55
I am really good at deadlifts and I
27:57
am pretty decent at jumping over a box.
28:01
Yeah.
28:01
That one was a,
28:02
that one was a fun one.
28:04
That was my best workout ever.
28:07
Um,
28:09
I just was in the zone that day.
28:12
I think the snatch and the double under
28:14
one was a classic, too.
28:16
Like, fifteen-fifteen.
28:18
Like, super fast transitions.
28:20
Oh, yeah.
28:22
Oh, here we go.
28:25
Per chat, GPT,
28:26
this is a macro close-up of an engraved
28:29
coin.
28:29
Specifically,
28:30
the iron fur detail from the American
28:32
buffalo.
28:33
Buffalo nickel.
28:44
Can we have a year without stupid
28:45
deadlifts?
28:46
We've had lots of years without stupid
28:47
deadlifts.
28:49
And deadlifts are stupid.
28:51
I'm not great at them.
28:51
My back just doesn't allow it,
28:54
but we've had them.
28:56
You know,
28:57
you're going to hate me for saying this,
28:58
but the one that we had a couple
28:59
years ago with the burpees over the bar,
29:02
that went up and then went back down,
29:04
I would be one hundred percent down and
29:05
do that one again.
29:07
Because I did not finish it.
29:09
Ten, nine, eight, seven.
29:11
That's the one where Sam Briggs yelled at
29:13
me.
29:14
i think i could finish it now like
29:16
i didn't i got i was on the
29:17
back side i was getting close but i
29:20
think i could finish it now and i
29:22
would like to try it again but i'm
29:25
not trying it again unless it's programmed
29:28
yeah it was pretty awful that middle
29:30
section at the double the ten and the
29:32
two nines yeah when it's math dude like
29:37
it's trying to remember okay i just did
29:39
ten
29:40
not even nine and then nine.
29:42
And then we're going down.
29:43
So eight, eight.
29:44
And then it was terrible.
29:47
Seema says, if it's a repeat,
29:48
Dave really earning a salary, listen,
29:51
let's give it a chance.
29:53
Maybe it's a repeat with a twist.
29:55
Yeah.
29:56
I wouldn't be,
29:57
I wouldn't be upset about a repeat with
29:59
it.
29:59
You know, slight modification to,
30:02
especially if it's an older one,
30:04
a slight modification here.
30:05
I want the nostalgia.
30:06
Yeah.
30:07
Yeah.
30:07
Well,
30:08
and then to take into account the fact
30:09
that like as a whole,
30:13
we are all a lot fitter than we
30:14
were in twenty fourteen or in twenty
30:20
sixteen or whatever.
30:21
Right.
30:21
So take something from back then that may
30:24
not have aged well because there are some
30:25
that didn't age very well.
30:27
Right.
30:27
You kind of look at it and you
30:28
go, hmm.
30:30
And then maybe move some stuff around,
30:32
change the loading a little bit.
30:34
Something along those lines to make it
30:35
more appropriate for twenty twenty six.
30:39
Yeah.
30:40
You know what I'm going to change up
30:41
this year?
30:43
I'm going to take some thirdsy.
30:45
I'm going to get a good night's sleep
30:47
before the day I do the workout for
30:48
sure.
30:50
And the first start of that is taking
30:52
my thirdsy.
30:53
Last night I was not allowed to do
30:54
it because of the procedure the last two
30:57
nights.
30:58
I am looking forward to tonight and
31:00
getting a good night's sleep,
31:01
taking some thirdsy, getting that done,
31:04
using the code Jazzy to get fifteen
31:07
percent off my order at checkout.
31:10
Go to thirdsy.com backslash thirdsy and
31:13
make sure that I am prepped and ready
31:15
for twenty six point one and the entirety
31:19
of the open season.
31:23
All three weeks.
31:26
All three weeks.
31:31
When is salted caramel coming back?
31:32
The strawberry lemonade is just OK.
31:36
Listen, they're both good.
31:39
They're very different in the way that you
31:42
use them and taste them,
31:44
but they both let you sleep at night.
31:47
I did reach out to the company to
31:48
find out if it was coming back.
31:50
It was a limited edition release.
31:53
They do those periodically.
31:54
Maybe we get something different.
31:56
Maybe we get something new.
31:58
Who knows?
32:00
Like a blueberry something or another.
32:05
Just giving you examples.
32:07
giving you just giving you some just
32:08
giving you some free free ideas thursday
32:13
like a blueberry cream that would be so
32:16
good yeah i'm see i like the strawberry
32:21
for quickness like because i can just dump
32:23
it in my blender bottle shake it up
32:26
and drink it as i'm going to bed
32:30
i what i found out is that with
32:31
cold water like water out the fridge
32:36
You know, the door to fridge, cold water.
32:37
It's so much better than if you just
32:39
do room temperature.
32:40
Yeah, yeah.
32:43
And the salted caramel,
32:44
I do milk heated in the microwave and
32:46
then add my stuff and put it in
32:48
the Ninja Bullet and then like it's a
32:50
process.
32:51
It gets so frothy.
32:53
It's so good, dude.
32:56
Yeah.
33:00
I like the salted caramel nice warm with
33:01
milk.
33:02
I'm still drinking the strawberry lemonade
33:04
and it still works.
33:05
See, it works.
33:08
Both taste great,
33:11
but I will do anything if it works.
33:14
Like I've plugged my nose and done
33:15
whatever it took if it works.
33:21
Way more functionality than anything else.
33:24
But when you get quality and
33:26
functionality, it's even better.
33:27
A hundred percent.
33:29
I like the strawberry lemonade as well.
33:32
I am holding out hope that they either
33:34
bring the salted caramel back or give us
33:36
something else cool for the spring slash
33:37
summer.
33:39
But either way,
33:41
with the way I've been sleeping,
33:42
you're going to see me buying two bags
33:45
every couple of months because it's every
33:47
night.
33:49
I brought it to Fitness to the Coast
33:50
with me.
33:52
And then my partner also brought hers with
33:55
her.
33:55
We were twinsies as far as that was
33:57
concerned.
33:58
It's awesome, dude.
34:02
Third Z milkshake tonight for Scott,
34:04
doctor's orders.
34:04
There we go.
34:05
Didn't know you were Dr. Wayne,
34:06
but thank you very much for the
34:07
prescription.
34:08
Well,
34:09
he did stay at a Holiday Inn Express
34:10
last night, so.
34:11
There we go.
34:13
All right,
34:14
so now let's get into the talk of
34:15
the town.
34:16
Here we go.
34:17
And that is all the drama surrounding the
34:20
CrossFit media.
34:23
And I want to preface this with one
34:25
thing.
34:25
I'm not an insider to either of these
34:28
camps.
34:30
I have no inside information.
34:33
I have not talked to any of them.
34:36
Although I have met most of them and
34:39
I have,
34:40
and I know them on a personal level.
34:43
I watch all of their content.
34:47
So I have no inside information.
34:49
I'm watching from the outside in just like
34:51
everybody else.
34:55
And so it started with a Hiller video
35:00
critiquing the Kill Taylor show.
35:04
Taylor self had a response on the CrossFit
35:08
network that is owned by Savan and crew.
35:15
And then Hiller and Tyler Watkins got went
35:18
live last night to respond again.
35:21
The response to the response.
35:24
And that's kind of the first thing I
35:26
want to say is that's the beauty of
35:27
the CrossFit space.
35:30
You can make content by just responding to
35:33
responses who have responded to your post.
35:40
It's wild.
35:43
And it still gets views three levels deep.
35:46
I was about to say it's going to
35:47
get a gazillion views.
35:50
So I watched Hiller's video.
35:55
i thought it was very measured yeah i
35:59
thought it was and he says it was
36:02
his opinion and he was comparing it to
36:05
tv shows that dip might i say my
36:09
favorite show of all time is the example
36:13
used the show that never dipped and that
36:15
was breaking bad yeah
36:20
But he showed even his own favorite show,
36:21
Dexter, dipped at the end.
36:24
He used the example Game of Thrones,
36:25
dipped at the end.
36:27
And he was pointing that out with the
36:29
Kill Taylor show.
36:31
I think what people are getting wrapped up
36:34
in is the swearing part of it.
36:37
And I don't even think that's the main
36:39
point that Hiller was trying to make.
36:42
No, I'd agree with that.
36:45
He was pointing that out because it worked
36:48
for him because of what he's trying to
36:52
do.
36:53
I don't think Taylor cares.
36:54
Right,
36:56
but I don't even think that was Hiller's
36:57
main point.
36:58
No, not at all.
36:59
It was like a sub point.
37:01
It was really about the format change and
37:06
not being consistent on the day and time
37:10
they said.
37:13
then taylor responds and i will be honest
37:16
i did not make it through all two
37:17
hours no no i didn't see any of
37:20
that last night i saw that it was
37:21
on and that was that was as far
37:23
as i got i made it probably a
37:25
little over an hour in and i thought
37:29
taylor took some of the criticism well i
37:32
thought others he did not and it's his
37:35
entitlement to do so i
37:38
I heard that as the later that two
37:41
hours went,
37:42
the more kind of unraveled that went.
37:44
But I cannot speak to that because I
37:46
did not make it that far.
37:48
I'm hoping to get through it a little
37:49
bit later today.
37:52
But that's what I have heard.
37:55
And then Tyler and Hiller went live last
37:59
night with another response.
38:01
and Tyler added some texture to it with
38:05
his own personal experiences.
38:09
And it appears from that response,
38:12
they have had these conversations behind
38:13
the scenes before this ever went public.
38:19
And it seemed as though both were kind
38:24
of
38:26
removed from different text strings and
38:28
different things behind the scenes because
38:30
of their comments and um and maybe that's
38:36
by choice maybe not um but it's it's
38:41
just a wild wild thing right the thing
38:45
on the response to the response that
38:47
caught me was that Hiller was tired of
38:50
the groupthink
38:53
And that is one thing that is a
38:55
pet peeve of mine.
38:56
Again, I am not in these inside chats.
38:59
I am not in these text strings.
39:01
I don't know if it's really happening or
39:03
not.
39:04
That is just a term that Hiller used
39:07
a lot in his response to the response.
39:09
Right.
39:10
And that's something that is a pet peeve
39:12
of mine.
39:14
I tell my crew, which I love dearly,
39:16
and I told them that yesterday and Sunday
39:20
after watching these videos,
39:21
and you are included in this,
39:23
is that I love who I have on
39:26
this team.
39:27
I love working with you guys every single
39:29
day.
39:30
And I love that we can argue and
39:32
disagree, and it's okay.
39:34
Yeah.
39:36
I was watching you and Jamie freaking hash
39:38
it out Sunday night and I was like,
39:40
this is what I'm here for, right?
39:42
Because why,
39:43
what good is it if everybody just agrees
39:46
all the time?
39:48
If everybody's special,
39:49
then nobody's special.
39:51
If everybody's agreeing with everybody all
39:53
the time,
39:53
you're in an echo chamber at that point.
39:56
Again, about some stuff, absolutely.
39:58
We share the same views about this and
40:00
about that.
40:01
But some stuff we're gonna see differently
40:03
and that's good.
40:04
That's good for discourse.
40:07
Because maybe you see stuff from my view
40:10
and you understand me a little bit better.
40:11
And maybe I can see stuff from your
40:13
view and I can understand you a little
40:14
bit better.
40:15
And then we get along a little bit
40:16
better while still holding our same views.
40:19
It's really not that complicated.
40:24
If everybody is agreeing all the time,
40:25
somebody is lying.
40:27
Yes.
40:30
um lito says uh you don't need to
40:33
watch the full two hours to be honest
40:34
it just gets repetitive after the first
40:36
twenty minutes or so um taylor seems to
40:40
just be triggered by any criticism he
40:42
seems like dr jekyll mr hyde that from
40:45
shanna um
40:51
Larry Young says,
40:52
a lot of this is that the Savon
40:54
posse expects you to agree with their
40:56
views.
40:56
Hiller said he's tired of group thought.
40:59
Yeah,
40:59
I got that a lot last night from
41:01
his video.
41:04
Train all of them at the point where
41:06
I don't watch Kill Taylor live and fast
41:08
forward just to see if anybody calls in.
41:12
When it first started,
41:13
I would catch them every chance that I
41:14
got.
41:14
But then they started when they moved to
41:17
Saturday and basically about ten o'clock.
41:19
I'm usually at the gym or I just
41:21
got home one or two.
41:22
That's my training time or whatnot.
41:23
So in Kill Taylor,
41:26
as good as it at least was when
41:27
I was watching it on a regular basis,
41:29
if I'm not catching it live,
41:30
I'm not watching it later because it
41:32
doesn't make any sense.
41:33
It's a live show.
41:36
might want to i mean if you if
41:37
you're into that kind of thing i guess
41:38
you can go watch later on but it's
41:40
a live show and it's way more fun
41:43
live than it is not i think anyway
41:46
i have absolutely no idea i haven't caught
41:48
one in months just because it's not at
41:52
a convenient time for me and i'm not
41:53
going back and watch it later so i
41:55
want to say this because
41:59
I watched Sivan for a long time and
42:01
all the stuff on his channel, right?
42:04
He has changed the way I think about
42:05
things.
42:07
Sure.
42:07
And I've been open and honest about that.
42:09
I have texted him about that.
42:11
I've thanked him for seeing things from a
42:13
different perspective.
42:15
Does it mean I agree with everything
42:16
that's said on the channel?
42:17
No.
42:18
But he has changed my perspective in some
42:21
outlooks.
42:22
right and i think that was good and
42:24
i think that like at the beginning of
42:28
and maybe still to this day it wasn't
42:31
groupthink it was his opinion about things
42:34
and he would have people on that not
42:36
didn't necessarily agree with him and i
42:39
think those were the best shows where they
42:41
have that discussion right when it comes
42:44
to kill taylor i used to catch every
42:46
single episode
42:48
But now that my daughter has moved away
42:51
and it's just my wife and I,
42:53
Saturday mornings are kind of like our
42:54
time.
42:55
Sure.
42:56
And as much as the language and all
42:58
that stuff doesn't bother me on the whole,
43:02
it bothers my wife tremendously.
43:05
And not the language.
43:07
My wife has a potty mouth.
43:08
Right.
43:10
Right.
43:11
flat out but the issue is the the
43:14
the way that they joke with each other
43:17
and the insults thrown are not her bag
43:20
of tea and and so it's my choice
43:24
is to go be by myself and put
43:26
my headphones in or to hang out with
43:28
my wife
43:30
And my wife just wins out on those
43:31
Saturday mornings now.
43:32
It's not a hard thing.
43:34
It's not a hard choice.
43:36
Right.
43:37
Right.
43:38
If, if that stuff wasn't in there,
43:41
we could watch it together.
43:44
Just being flat out blatant about it.
43:49
Um,
43:51
where savan even though that he cusses and
43:53
swears when he has those people on where
43:55
they have disagreements about topics my
43:58
wife will listen in on that and be
44:01
okay with that does that make sense no
44:05
it absolutely does savan has a very
44:09
his interview style where he just sits
44:12
there and listens to people and then asks
44:15
questions that are related to what they're
44:18
getting at that are not personal attacks
44:20
like a lot of people do, right?
44:22
Even though he doesn't,
44:24
or I should say not even though,
44:26
because he doesn't understand it,
44:28
you can tell he's genuinely trying to see
44:30
it from somebody else's perspective and
44:33
trying to understand it from where they're
44:35
sitting.
44:37
And we'll take it, process it.
44:39
Maybe he'll change his mind.
44:40
Maybe it won't.
44:41
He said that before, right?
44:43
He said things like out loud like that
44:44
to say, you know what,
44:46
you've made me think about this
44:47
differently and I'm going to have a
44:48
different opinion about it now.
44:49
And he's also said,
44:51
I understand that you feel that way.
44:52
That's cool.
44:53
Moving on to the next thing.
44:55
Not a lot of people can do that.
44:57
Mark Phillips says,
44:58
my wife hates listening to locker room
44:59
talk, so I don't tune in.
45:01
That's a big part of my Saturday morning,
45:03
why I don't tune in when I used
45:05
to.
45:08
Terry says,
45:08
I don't know why they're doing it
45:09
publicly.
45:10
And I think if you listen to Hiller's
45:14
response to the response,
45:16
he said that there were attempts,
45:19
but Hiller doesn't do phone calls.
45:22
Like they can talk things out through text
45:23
or whatever.
45:25
And he just gets to a point where,
45:27
hey,
45:27
I'm just going to make a video about
45:28
it.
45:28
And he used the Brian Friend thing as
45:32
an example.
45:33
They tried to talk behind the scenes and
45:35
they tried to text and he tried to
45:36
give advice.
45:37
He tried to do these things and it
45:39
got to a point where it wasn't getting
45:41
anywhere.
45:42
So his thought was,
45:44
I'm going to do a video.
45:48
Which is what he does.
45:49
That's how he communicates with the world.
45:52
He did the same thing when he broke
45:54
down the WFP video.
45:57
Went frame by frame almost and said, hey,
45:59
this is good, this is bad,
46:00
this is good, this is bad,
46:01
this is good, this is bad, etc.
46:03
That was to an entire organization that he
46:05
doesn't really necessarily have any ties
46:07
to.
46:08
Him and Taylor know each other.
46:12
And it's not like he was saying,
46:14
y'all suck and this is why.
46:16
He's offering what came across to me
46:20
anyway as mostly constructive criticism
46:23
about, hey, this could be better.
46:26
This was fantastic when it started.
46:27
It could be better.
46:29
And here's the things that I think could
46:30
make it better.
46:32
Aku Black Dragon,
46:33
I think it got put out there because
46:35
in private, nothing was changing.
46:37
I feel this wasn't a jab,
46:38
but a criticism on some needed changes.
46:42
Wayne Short says,
46:42
I no longer subscribe to Savon,
46:45
the Savon podcast or CrossFit Network for
46:46
all the non-KT points.
46:48
Hiller made,
46:49
much more watchable media outlet these
46:51
days, Clydesdale Spin,
46:53
Boys CrossFit Sport Podcast.
46:55
Well, thank you for that.
46:56
Appreciate it.
46:57
And that's why everybody's different.
46:59
Everybody enjoys different things,
47:02
but I'll be honest with you.
47:04
If you want to be relevant in this
47:05
space and you want to know things that
47:07
are going on,
47:08
they have inside information that others
47:10
don't.
47:11
And that's why I have to listen to
47:12
Savant.
47:12
Yep.
47:14
And there are times where I actually enjoy
47:15
it very, very much.
47:18
Um,
47:21
David Reed,
47:21
it was not up to Hiller to correct
47:24
anyone.
47:24
If the feedback was not received,
47:26
that should have been the end.
47:28
Doing a video is not the way friends
47:30
interact.
47:32
But we took it on the chin last
47:35
year when we made a couple critical
47:37
comments about the Syndicate Crown
47:39
broadcast done by the Savon podcast.
47:42
They came at us in the chat.
47:44
They came at us over the air.
47:47
It wasn't like we were trying,
47:50
and we probably made the mistake of saying
47:52
too much negative because what they
47:54
brought was new and different and
47:56
something that we wouldn't have had any
47:59
kind of broadcast if they weren't there
48:02
doing it, right?
48:03
And then we were critical of a few
48:06
things that happened during that
48:07
broadcast.
48:08
And we got, they came back at us.
48:14
And I think that's fair.
48:16
You're in a public space.
48:19
You have a public show.
48:21
You are going to be publicly criticized at
48:23
times.
48:24
I get criticized all the time in the
48:26
chats.
48:27
If you look at the YouTube comments,
48:29
I get dogged all the time.
48:32
It's just the way it is the minute
48:34
you put yourself out there like this.
48:37
Friends or not,
48:38
Hiller's been critical of the way I've
48:40
done things in the past.
48:42
Sure.
48:43
And it's my choice whether to listen to
48:45
that or ignore it.
48:48
And most of the time,
48:49
if it's constructive,
48:50
which Hiller is pretty good at being
48:52
constructive about his criticism,
48:55
for the most part.
48:56
He does a lot of thinking before he
48:57
speaks.
48:59
And with that,
48:59
then I can take that constructive
49:01
criticism and choose whether to use it or
49:04
not.
49:05
Yeah.
49:06
I think the point you're making is that
49:09
we are right now in the public space.
49:12
Anybody could tune in and watch this and
49:14
have whatever they want to say about
49:16
whatever we're saying.
49:17
And that's fine.
49:19
You do not have, we don't,
49:21
we don't have to listen or we can
49:25
either way.
49:26
Like if your feelings are heard that much
49:28
about it,
49:28
then you should probably develop some
49:29
thicker skin.
49:31
Chelsea Miller conspiracy theory.
49:33
This is all staged to drum up views
49:35
for the Sentinel versus Hiller open
49:37
challenge.
49:38
Sadly, no, sadly, no, this isn't the case.
49:44
I'll be honest with you.
49:46
I, I text Jamie and Carolyn and said,
49:49
do you think this is real?
49:50
Or do you think this is staged?
49:52
I've been wondering that since it started.
49:56
And when you hear John on the WOD
49:57
prep podcast on Monday night saying that
50:00
the whole Brian thing,
50:01
there was some wrestling pre stuff to that
50:08
top one hundred that made it so they
50:11
were in a bigger spat before they met
50:13
to do that top one hundred.
50:14
Oh, I bet.
50:17
john admitted it monday night flat out on
50:19
the that when he said he would never
50:21
work with brian again never ever that was
50:24
all meant to amp up for views of
50:28
the top one hundred by the time that
50:29
came out like you don't just that didn't
50:32
happen over two days like hillary didn't
50:35
call john and like hey can you be
50:36
here tomorrow we're gonna do this whole
50:38
thing like that was probably been planned
50:40
for weeks yeah hundred percent dude
50:44
Hiller said it a million times.
50:46
His main goal is to get clicks and
50:49
to get views.
50:50
He is a full-time YouTuber.
50:52
Period.
50:54
Vicky says, I wondered too,
50:56
but those guys haven't been on KT in
50:57
a long time.
50:58
It was kind of obvious something's been
51:00
going on.
51:01
If you watch the rebuttal to the rebuttal,
51:05
I don't think it's staged anymore.
51:09
When Tyler came in and gave his
51:11
experience,
51:12
it gave a lot of authenticity to the
51:15
overall spat, argument,
51:18
whatever we want to call it.
51:28
Teresa Rochford is,
51:30
I think Seve has been supportive of all
51:33
of them and is now getting kicked.
51:36
I don't think it was meant to be
51:38
a kick at Savant.
51:41
I don't think it was that at all.
51:42
I think it was a,
51:45
if you truly sit down and watch with
51:47
an open mind, Hiller's first video,
51:50
it is a flat out critique,
51:53
like a TV critic critiquing the kill
51:56
Taylor show completely.
52:00
Here's the thing about, uh,
52:03
several as well as that he was around
52:07
before any of those guys, uh,
52:10
We're on and live.
52:12
If all of them went away tomorrow,
52:14
he would still get up and do his
52:16
seven o'clock a.m.
52:16
show about whatever he decided to be,
52:20
decided it needed to be about,
52:21
whether it's doing the Sevan podcast stuff
52:25
or if he decided to go ahead and
52:27
do a CrossFit show with just him and
52:29
freaking and Souza.
52:33
Not that he's not going to love him
52:34
anymore,
52:35
but he is still going to keep continuing
52:37
on because that's what he does.
52:38
And he's been creating media for gobbledy
52:41
knows how long.
52:43
It's not happening, right?
52:47
Teresa says, I agree, Scott.
52:49
I took Hiller's video as a reach out
52:50
to help the show.
52:51
Yeah.
52:53
I truly believe that's what it was.
52:57
And I think he was speaking to just
52:59
that specific show.
53:01
Mm-hmm.
53:03
For the most part.
53:03
There was one little pot shot about the
53:06
overall channel, but for the most part,
53:08
it was that.
53:13
Mark Phillips, I miss Armand Hammer.
53:14
Armand was one of my inspirations to get
53:18
into this.
53:18
He has been on my show twice.
53:21
If you've never seen those episodes,
53:23
they're great.
53:24
I had him on once while he was
53:25
still active,
53:26
and I had him on once after he
53:28
retired.
53:29
I think Scale as Needed is still on
53:33
iTunes podcast, which is,
53:38
that was my favorite.
53:39
That was my introduction to Armand.
53:40
And those were, generally speaking,
53:42
hilarious shows.
53:44
Same.
53:44
Armand was great.
53:47
Loved Armand.
53:48
Yeah, Chase Smith or Chase Long.
53:49
Sorry, Chase Long.
53:51
I was on Scaled as a Nation.
53:54
We text.
53:55
Like, I'm friends with Chase.
53:56
He is the one who got me the
53:57
C-IV deal a couple years ago.
54:01
And Chase has been on the show.
54:02
Chase is freaking awesome.
54:05
I got a C-IV coming today,
54:06
as a matter of fact.
54:07
I'm glad you said that.
54:13
uh i suspected something was up when
54:14
hillar and brian friend video came out i
54:17
don't think that had i don't think that
54:18
had anything to do with the other oh
54:22
that's two guys with asperger's having a
54:23
conversation that's all that is uh arman
54:30
did just follow the narrative didn't just
54:32
follow the narrative he just said things
54:34
that's the fact yeah
54:38
Armand was great.
54:39
Armand was, yeah.
54:41
Well, Armand presented it with no bias,
54:42
right?
54:43
And he was just like, hey,
54:44
this is what's happening.
54:45
And the one thing that you knew every
54:48
episode is he just loved freaking
54:52
CrossFit.
54:54
He just wanted it to succeed so badly.
54:59
And I think I get that from Hiller.
55:01
And I think I get that from Savan.
55:02
I definitely get that from Matt Souza.
55:04
Oh, yeah.
55:07
And that's what I...
55:08
When Sousa comes on and he does his
55:10
shows,
55:11
these are the things that need to happen
55:13
for us to improve.
55:15
I'm listening full-heartedly.
55:17
Because that dude loves CrossFit and what
55:20
it does and what it can be.
55:23
And he preaches hard on that.
55:27
And he is intelligent and actually has
55:31
plans and ideas to move...
55:35
to move the needle in the,
55:36
in the right direction.
55:37
Not just,
55:38
it's not just pie in the sky.
55:40
We should own a store type shit.
55:42
He actually has some,
55:43
he has to have something to say.
55:47
And to be honest, Taylor, the same way,
55:49
every time I've seen Taylor in person and
55:52
I've met him live and him and Bryson,
55:55
both the way they coach athletes,
55:58
the way they are invested in their people
56:01
is second to none.
56:04
It is why I am signed up with
56:06
Sentinel.
56:07
Oh.
56:09
I've been signed up with Sentinel for like
56:10
eight months.
56:13
Okay.
56:14
When I saw him, I visited the coast.
56:15
He gave me a business card for a
56:17
free month.
56:19
Yeah,
56:19
I've been doing modifications or versions
56:22
of Sentinel for eight months.
56:25
Yeah, I had my E-Mom Company jersey on,
56:27
and he said, E-Mom Company, huh?
56:29
And I was like, yep.
56:31
And he said,
56:31
and he reaches in his pack or whatever
56:34
and gives me his own.
56:35
He said, it's a free month.
56:37
Just try it out.
56:38
And I said, brother,
56:38
you ain't going to get me away from
56:39
Brandon, but I appreciate it.
56:43
But he cares.
56:43
He wants to make people better.
56:45
Yeah,
56:46
but I don't see that same Taylor on
56:48
Kill Taylor.
56:50
Well, no, because that's a, that's,
56:51
it's a character and it's a character and
56:54
they believe in that show and they believe
56:56
in that format.
56:57
And I said this on Sunday night,
56:59
when you're in this content creation
57:01
space, you're all,
57:02
you're trying to figure it out.
57:04
Yeah.
57:05
Like you're, you try different things.
57:07
You try new things.
57:08
Sometimes they work.
57:09
Sometimes they don't.
57:11
Some are more calculated about it and look
57:13
at the numbers specifically.
57:15
Some just on a whim say,
57:17
let's give this a shot and see where
57:18
it goes.
57:21
it just happens i don't i'm not saying
57:24
that kill taylor should be cancelled or
57:26
anything like that doing your thing trying
57:29
to figure it out it is a great
57:32
concept it is a great concept so uh
57:42
lita says hubby and i pay for sentinel
57:43
too and do workouts sometimes when we want
57:46
something different it's a real good
57:48
program it is a great program
57:50
The amount of detail they put into every
57:52
workout, like... Corey knows.
57:58
Years ago, my gym used to do...
58:02
Ben Bergeron crap.
58:04
What's it called?
58:05
Cop train comp train.
58:08
I hated, I hated every bit of that.
58:10
I hated the way it was set up
58:11
in the app.
58:12
I hated the way it was set up
58:13
on the PC.
58:15
I hated all of it was Sentinel.
58:17
I get the whole damn story in one
58:20
school.
58:23
And it's so nice.
58:24
So nice.
58:26
Like, I love this compared to that.
58:30
And in the middle was Mayhem,
58:32
which had its own issues with me.
58:36
A little too repetitive for my sake,
58:40
but it is what it is.
58:45
I actually love Christy O'Connell and
58:48
Patrick O'Connell from CrossFit Players.
58:51
Their programming has been my favorite of
58:53
all time.
58:55
And when they moved and they sold the
58:57
gym, I lost that.
59:02
Lame.
59:03
It is what it is.
59:04
I think you'd like it, Corey,
59:05
because it was a very interval-based type
59:08
training.
59:09
I do a lot of that.
59:12
I do a lot of that.
59:12
And this morning I did all the pressing
59:14
I could possibly hope for and then a
59:15
little bit more.
59:16
Yeah.
59:21
Strict press, incline bench, flat bench,
59:25
handstand walk, handstand push-ups,
59:27
and some pull-ups, and some GHDs.
59:29
Like, it was a whole thing.
59:34
Teresa says, me too.
59:37
Everybody I know that does Taylor's
59:39
program loves it.
59:40
I haven't found anybody yet who's like,
59:42
this is stupid,
59:43
and I moved on and went somewhere else.
59:45
Is Teresa talking about Polaris,
59:47
or is she talking about?
59:50
No clue.
59:50
I don't know.
59:57
I like Sentinel,
59:57
but also like a little variation in the
59:59
workouts.
1:00:01
I think it gives you that opportunity to
1:00:03
put some variation into it.
1:00:06
So yeah,
1:00:09
I thought she was talking about Christie.
1:00:12
Christie was,
1:00:13
their programming was so good.
1:00:15
I actually looked forward to going to the
1:00:18
gym every day because of their
1:00:19
programming.
1:00:20
when you find that like that's special
1:00:23
something to hold on to for sure so
1:00:29
anyway we've we're up against the hour i
1:00:32
