Lunch with the Clydesdale - Wednesday's Special: Cooking Up Cajun with Cory Leonard · Clydesdale Media Podcast

0:33
What is going on, everybody?
0:34
Welcome to Lunch with the Clydesdale.
0:37
It is Wednesday afternoon.
0:39
And you know what that means now?
0:40
That means we're spicing things up.
0:44
Because we're going Cajun.
0:47
Corey Leonard, what's going on, man?
0:50
Oh, just getting ready for tomorrow.
0:51
Trying to figure out... I
0:53
say trying to figure out.
0:54
I'm not trying to figure out anything.
0:56
I love everybody, but...
0:58
Oh,
0:58
it's going to be this and it's going to
0:59
be that.
1:00
And we'll,
1:00
because we did this and now I
1:02
broke it down and the
1:04
people with the inside information,
1:06
I laugh every single time
1:08
because I haven't been
1:09
doing this in extremely long time,
1:11
but I feel like I've been
1:12
doing this long enough to
1:13
know that nine times out of ten,
1:15
if you try to guess you're
1:16
going to be wrong.
1:19
This is what bugs me, right?
1:20
Is, um, I get a text.
1:26
I'm going to try to find it here.
1:29
uh shoot if this week is the
1:38
repeat and they repeat
1:41
twenty two point three then
1:42
there's definitely leaks
1:45
correct I would one
1:46
thousand percent agree to
1:48
that because that's all
1:48
I've been here yeah
1:52
So I hate that.
1:55
I hate, I hate the leaks.
1:57
I like,
1:59
I'm a guy that when I watch like a show,
2:01
if I miss an episode,
2:02
like I will not go to the
2:03
next one until I go back and watch.
2:06
And I don't want anybody to
2:07
recap it for me.
2:08
You know, like I want the surprise.
2:11
Yeah.
2:12
No spoilers.
2:14
Jay Birch says it wasn't him.
2:16
It wasn't me.
2:20
It wasn't me.
2:22
Shabba.
2:23
I appreciate that, Bert.
2:26
I've been hearing the same thing, dude.
2:27
Like three to four different
2:29
people just keep saying it
2:31
over and over again.
2:32
And again, if that ends up being the case,
2:36
then yeah, we got it.
2:38
I say we,
2:38
I have definitely do not work for HQ,
2:41
but somebody's got a problem.
2:43
Right.
2:44
I, um,
2:47
I'm not a competitor,
2:48
so I'm not trying to get an advantage.
2:51
I just like to be surprised.
2:53
So I get why,
2:55
like why a competitor that's
2:57
like fighting for that bubble spot,
3:00
any advantage is a good advantage.
3:02
And if someone else gets an
3:03
advantage and you don't,
3:04
how awful that is.
3:05
Like, like I get all of that.
3:09
I just wanted to be a secret to be fun.
3:12
That's what the old rules about was fun.
3:14
The announcement, the,
3:16
The newness, the surprise, you know,
3:19
crazy.
3:23
Say hi to Jay Birch, Holly, and Jody,
3:25
who are in the chat already.
3:27
Good to have you all with us.
3:30
Jody, it's so fun.
3:32
She sent me her updates on
3:34
her twenty five point one
3:36
throughout the weekend.
3:37
And when she was going to do it in her,
3:39
I think she calls it her
3:40
bunker in the basement.
3:45
fitness I like it and she
3:46
she did awesome so it's
3:48
good to hear from her we
3:50
got Craig jumping in now
3:51
saying hi what's best what
3:54
the best part about today
3:55
is with Corey is we don't
3:57
have any rundown like when
3:59
I would do it with Jamie
3:59
and Carolyn like we have a
4:01
rundown we know we're going
4:02
to talk about we do some
4:03
research when I'm on with
4:05
Corey it's just shoot the
4:06
shit Wednesday off the cuff right
4:11
We're going to be all over the place.
4:12
You see me in all bear stuff, right?
4:16
I see that.
4:18
We signed Joe Tooney.
4:20
We're traded for Joe Tooney today.
4:22
One of the best guards in football.
4:26
Our offensive line sucked.
4:28
And now we've traded for two
4:31
guards in the last two days.
4:34
And free agency hasn't even started yet.
4:36
And I am now completely
4:38
optimistic we're going to
4:39
Super Bowl next year.
4:41
From last place to Super Bowl.
4:44
So look out.
4:45
We're there.
4:49
I saw some of the combine stuff.
4:51
I haven't seen, I guess,
4:52
as far as trade rumors and
4:53
all that good stuff.
4:54
The only thing I saw was
4:55
some of the LSU players
4:56
that had to combine in like... God,
5:01
don't get me.
5:02
Or big center, Will.
5:04
ran like a four, nine, seven,
5:08
which is Will Campbell.
5:10
Yeah.
5:11
Randy four, nine, seven,
5:13
which is absolutely that's bonkers.
5:15
Like that, that makes no sense whatsoever.
5:17
That dude is moving.
5:19
Yeah.
5:19
So he is at a lot of draft boards picked.
5:24
They bears have him like at ten.
5:25
Yeah.
5:26
Um,
5:27
a lot of the draft boards have the
5:29
bears taking him at ten.
5:33
Y'all redo the offensive line.
5:37
Yeah.
5:37
Y'all be, y'all do well to get him, dude.
5:38
He's going to be in it.
5:39
As long as he stays healthy,
5:40
he's going to be in the
5:40
league a long time.
5:42
Yeah.
5:43
Um,
5:44
what I learned at the combine is media
5:46
members act like fools in the NFL,
5:49
just like they do in CrossFit.
5:50
I can believe that.
5:54
Did you hear the story about
5:55
the two media members
5:56
getting into a fight at a Starbucks?
5:59
No, I did not,
6:00
but I would very much like to.
6:04
So, uh,
6:05
Ian Rappaport from the NFL network.
6:07
Yep.
6:07
I know who that is.
6:09
And I can't,
6:10
I can never remember the guy's name.
6:12
Um, but he is Fox's, uh, insider.
6:17
That's not Jay Glazer, but the other guy.
6:20
Um,
6:21
and he's on like the FS one shows and
6:23
stuff.
6:23
And his dad used to be the
6:25
CEO of Starbucks.
6:26
Even better.
6:30
Apparently that dude kept
6:31
putting out these reports, uh,
6:36
Ian Rappaport kept saying
6:37
that they were false and
6:40
not to listen to him.
6:42
And then they met at the
6:43
Starbucks and I guess came to blows.
6:46
No punches were thrown.
6:48
But because the dude from
6:49
like Fox is like six to two forty.
6:54
Ian Rappaport's like five five.
6:56
Yeah.
6:56
Yeah.
6:56
Ian Rappaport's a little bitty dude.
7:01
It wouldn't have been a fair fight at all,
7:03
but they were yelling and
7:04
screaming at each other in the Starbucks,
7:07
and it became the talk of the thing.
7:11
I never try to air that dirty laundry,
7:14
but shit like that happens
7:15
at CrossFit stuff all the time.
7:16
Oh, I would imagine so.
7:20
I mean,
7:20
I lost with some frustrations at
7:22
the syndicate crown last
7:23
year where they had ground rules.
7:26
They gave us the ground rules.
7:28
I follow the ground rules.
7:30
And then one of their
7:30
security people told me I
7:32
wasn't allowed where I was at,
7:35
even though the rule said it.
7:38
Right.
7:39
And I'm like, finally, I'm just like,
7:42
go talk to X. He's the head of.
7:46
Right.
7:46
Yeah.
7:47
And then.
7:49
X comes to me and says, hey,
7:51
we made some changes.
7:52
We need better flow in this one area.
7:55
So you're allowed here, here, and here.
7:56
And I'm like, cool.
7:57
All good with it.
8:00
Other existing members of
8:01
the media were in where I
8:03
was at and getting yelled
8:04
at after I moved.
8:07
Right.
8:09
And they weren't said,
8:10
there was nothing said to them at all.
8:12
Yeah.
8:16
that happens that happens
8:18
like everywhere it's kind
8:18
of how I got my start um at
8:22
and I keep I hate bringing
8:23
up syndicate crown because
8:24
I love wilson pock and I
8:26
love what he's done and he
8:27
lets me do a lot of things
8:29
um it's just it seems to be
8:31
where the miscommunication
8:32
happens a couple years ago
8:35
kat and I were in the media
8:36
room we were asked to leave
8:39
said media room because
8:40
they ran out of space
8:45
Now,
8:45
we were the only people asked to leave
8:46
it.
8:47
Why is it just us?
8:49
Yeah.
8:50
And then they set us up in
8:51
the judging area,
8:53
which was... We couldn't do anything.
8:56
I would imagine that's probably chaos.
8:58
Judges were literally
8:59
climbing on our table with
9:00
our laptops to see their
9:03
judges' heat schedule,
9:05
which they need to see.
9:07
But my laptop is a lot of money.
9:11
So...
9:12
I end up going around the corner,
9:14
setting up my own table
9:15
right off the floor and
9:17
just interviewing people as
9:18
they come off the floor.
9:19
And that's how I kind of
9:20
like invented that thing
9:22
that I was getting out on Instagram.
9:24
Yeah.
9:26
And then the same thing
9:26
happened to me at Granite
9:27
Games where I got kicked
9:29
out of the media room.
9:30
Then I just set up shop
9:31
right outside the athlete
9:33
warmup area and just
9:34
started interviewing people as they came.
9:40
everybody interviews the
9:41
athletes after they come
9:43
off the floor or going to
9:44
the warmup area or whatever.
9:46
And that's why I'm kind of
9:47
changing focus now,
9:48
because now everybody's doing that.
9:51
I want to,
9:52
I want to pivot and do something
9:53
different.
9:54
Well, to be fair,
9:55
that's probably the best
9:56
time to try to get somebody
9:58
when they're in transition, right?
10:00
You're either thinking about
10:01
going to warm up,
10:02
how are you going to attack something?
10:03
know as an athlete yeah
10:06
after the event going back
10:08
to the warm-up area like
10:09
for cool down yeah that's
10:11
what I would catch them or
10:12
just just coming off the
10:13
floor like it's fresh in
10:14
your mind hey what just
10:16
happened right so yeah I
10:18
can understand why
10:20
everybody wants else wants
10:21
to jump on that bandwagon I
10:22
don't understand why they
10:24
seem to target that guy
10:26
looks really polite we
10:27
could probably we should
10:28
probably kick him out of
10:29
here like you're the nicest
10:30
one of the nicest guys I've met
10:32
You know what I'm saying?
10:34
That makes no sense to me.
10:35
Well, I will tell you,
10:36
the other people are with
10:38
much more established
10:39
companies that everybody
10:41
knows their name.
10:45
But why they always pick on me, one,
10:49
I'm the biggest dude there.
10:53
Two, I don't say a word to anybody.
10:57
Right.
10:57
I just do my thing.
11:00
I'm not trying to spread out
11:01
and take over a foreigner feet at space.
11:04
Like I just need somebody to
11:06
put my laptop.
11:06
Yeah.
11:09
When my laptop was like in the media area,
11:12
the,
11:12
this last year and all I was doing
11:15
was like catching them
11:17
coming off the floor and
11:17
then walking with them to
11:19
the lounge where then I
11:20
would sit down with them
11:21
and have the discussion,
11:22
which was the protocol.
11:28
And I just would keep doing
11:29
laps around all day long.
11:33
Getting your steps in.
11:35
Yeah, because really,
11:37
like Jamie and I last year
11:38
were the only ones doing every heat.
11:39
Right.
11:44
Because sometimes the story
11:44
comes out of the first heat.
11:45
I would, hey,
11:49
one hundred percent agree to that.
11:51
For damn sure.
11:53
I'll tell you what,
11:55
Josh Bridges would
11:56
definitely tell you this story.
11:57
Comes out of the first heat
11:58
a whole lot of times.
12:00
How many times Matt Fraser
12:01
ended up trying to catch him?
12:04
Sitting there chasing the
12:05
guy in the first heat before.
12:07
That guy was Josh Bridges.
12:08
Yeah.
12:08
Yeah.
12:10
Yeah, I...
12:14
That year,
12:15
a lot of the storylines were coming.
12:17
Like the event winners came
12:18
from the first and second heats.
12:20
A lot that year.
12:21
So that was the Grand Games
12:24
that Ariel Owen got her
12:25
tickets to the games?
12:27
Was that that one?
12:29
This was Syndicate Crown.
12:30
Oh, Syndicate.
12:31
Okay, yeah, yeah.
12:32
Yeah.
12:32
It was the year they did the... The Sword?
12:35
Is that when Hopper won?
12:37
No, no.
12:38
After that, this was...
12:42
The year they did the ten
12:43
legless with sprint back.
12:46
And I think like everything
12:48
had like a little bit of a
12:49
repeat in that year.
12:54
But yeah,
12:55
it was all like old regionals and
12:58
whatnot.
12:59
Workouts.
13:00
Yeah.
13:01
Jay Birch, this seat's taken force.
13:03
Say it's tight.
13:03
Can't sit here.
13:05
Yeah.
13:13
um so yeah uh yeah I didn't
13:18
mean to dive into all that
13:19
media stuff so I know that
13:20
nobody really cares about
13:21
that behind the scenes
13:22
stuff but no I did drama on
13:25
the floor there's also
13:25
drama off the floor yeah a
13:28
lot of it just does never
13:29
get exposed I just I do
13:32
think it's highly
13:34
interesting how they they
13:35
they pick it on you out of
13:37
all the people that's in there like
13:40
Because I know you, dude.
13:41
You're not getting in anybody's way.
13:44
You're not stepping on anybody.
13:46
You are trying to stay within yourself,
13:49
focus on you.
13:50
And out of all the people
13:50
they could possibly pick, you're like,
13:52
oh yeah, get that guy out of here.
13:54
It's nonsense.
13:57
It happened at the Masters
13:58
games last year.
13:59
Day one,
14:00
I was allowed to be in the warm-up
14:02
area right in front of the barbells,
14:04
talking to the people as
14:05
they're warming up.
14:07
And then day two,
14:08
I wasn't allowed inside the barricade.
14:11
So then I'm screaming from the barricade,
14:13
hey, trying to ask questions.
14:16
And we did what we could,
14:18
but it makes it a lot, lot harder.
14:20
I don't get that either.
14:23
Yeah.
14:27
I don't know.
14:29
I don't understand that.
14:30
You're not stopping anybody
14:31
from doing anything.
14:31
You're not forcing anybody
14:32
to come and talk to you.
14:34
Me and my camera aren't
14:35
taking up that much space.
14:37
No,
14:38
you're holding the camera for Christ's
14:39
sake.
14:41
But they made all the
14:41
coaches leave because there were,
14:43
there were too many coaches and it,
14:45
and that area was filling
14:46
up too much with athletes and coaches.
14:50
And they made,
14:50
they put me under the same
14:51
rule as the coaches.
14:57
Yeah,
14:57
I think I just may have explained that,
14:59
Jay Birch.
15:01
Um, there, it was,
15:02
it was overcrowded because
15:04
they were running that team
15:06
competition at the same
15:07
time to like do a community event.
15:11
So you had the,
15:12
those teams and their
15:13
coaches in the warmup area
15:16
with the games athletes and
15:18
their coaches.
15:19
And they just said no more coaches.
15:24
And because my band was the
15:26
same color as the coaches band, um,
15:33
for special dispensation or compensation,
15:38
whatever from, uh,
15:40
the organizers and they
15:42
were in such a whirlwind of chaos.
15:46
I just kind of got snapped
15:48
at and I was like, okay, I'll just do it.
15:51
Sorry, Joe.
15:53
I'll just keep doing my thing.
15:55
It's going to roll back through it.
15:56
Uh,
15:59
was like that at legends uh
16:00
with joe anyway like I saw
16:02
him five times in five days
16:06
and like every time he was
16:07
walking from one spot to
16:08
another one like moving
16:09
doing something yeah my
16:12
only advantage is lana
16:14
works security of that area
16:18
for a while and she would
16:18
just let me well yeah plan
16:21
is awesome yeah
16:27
The problem is, Jay Birch,
16:28
is there were different
16:29
levels of media also.
16:31
There was media floor access,
16:33
which I wanted Ortega and
16:36
Caitlin to have because
16:38
they were the ones filming the mashups.
16:42
And I didn't really need that.
16:43
I just wanted,
16:44
and then Ellie and I just
16:46
needed to be able to get
16:47
around to the athletes.
16:47
Yeah.
16:49
So it just got confusing, but, but nobody,
16:54
I don't think event
16:55
organizers understand what
16:57
media are trying to accomplish.
16:59
They just throw them into
17:01
one bucket and think it's all the same.
17:04
What I'm doing and what the
17:05
buttery bros are doing are
17:07
two different things.
17:09
You know what I mean?
17:09
Like they're making a long
17:11
form edited video.
17:14
documentary or mini doc, whatever,
17:17
where I'm like trying to
17:18
interview athletes.
17:19
I'm trying to get new content out.
17:21
I'm trying to get quick content out.
17:23
I'm doing update shows and
17:25
at the masters games,
17:26
I was doing a documentary.
17:28
So I was doing a little bit
17:29
of all of that stuff.
17:32
Right.
17:35
Yeah.
17:38
Try it to start it out.
17:39
Great.
17:40
Look, to be fair, I,
17:43
your whole documentary
17:44
series on the masters games
17:45
which nobody's done ever I
17:49
thought it came out great
17:51
for what it was especially
17:54
after the fact and like the
17:56
the people that got popped
17:59
and whatnot like you know
18:00
getting those interviews
18:01
and whatnot and then you
18:02
find out later it it reminded me of
18:06
the games doc from, was that, was that,
18:10
was that, was that, was that, was that,
18:12
was that, was that, was that, was that,
18:35
then you find out halfway
18:36
through oh yeah ricky
18:36
actually got popped you had
18:39
the same thing and you
18:41
didn't know it at the time
18:43
even though people because
18:44
I know a whole bunch of
18:45
masters athletes now that
18:46
were all there to this day
18:48
they're saying oh yeah we
18:49
were saying it the whole
18:50
time we were there which
18:52
people say that constantly
18:55
anyway so what I'll tell
18:56
you is backstage I heard
18:59
one of those three talked
19:01
about a lot the other two
19:03
didn't hurt I did not hear
19:05
mentioned once no um the
19:11
doc was the thing I'm most
19:14
proud of in all the content
19:15
I've created I thought it
19:17
came out fantastic I really
19:18
did but I do think that
19:21
just like anything else I
19:23
know I now know how to do
19:24
it better well I mean
19:27
That was your first shot at
19:28
doing something that ambitious, right?
19:31
So, yeah,
19:33
it's going to take some tweaking.
19:33
It's going to take some, okay,
19:36
I don't like how I did this.
19:37
Now I can do it this way.
19:38
It's just like anything else that you do,
19:40
especially pulling it being
19:42
a passion project, right?
19:44
Yeah.
19:46
Hey, man, now I can figure this out.
19:47
I had no time to edit all that myself.
19:49
And Holly was a great help
19:52
with all of the stat boards
19:55
that you saw at the end of that.
19:56
She did all those.
19:59
I love Holly's graphics.
20:01
It helps that I've been on a couple.
20:03
I won't lie.
20:04
I'm slightly biased.
20:07
You cut out a little bit on
20:08
the first part of that.
20:08
You said it helps that.
20:10
I said I love Holly's graphics.
20:12
I really, really do.
20:13
I said it helps that I've
20:14
been on a couple of them.
20:15
But, you know,
20:16
I still got them saved in my phone.
20:18
Yeah.
20:18
Well, what I love about our graphics,
20:23
especially at events,
20:24
is that it is for the athletes.
20:33
We do that for the athletes.
20:36
Because leaderboards are not
20:37
easy to share.
20:39
Like when you do something
20:40
great to try to screenshot a leaderboard,
20:43
it doesn't come out great.
20:45
No,
20:45
it looks like a screenshot of a
20:47
leaderboard.
20:48
Where Holly makes this
20:49
really cool top five or whatever it is,
20:53
that if you finish top five,
20:54
you can grab that,
20:55
throw it up on Instagram,
20:57
and your friends
20:58
immediately know you did something cool.
21:04
That's what I love about it.
21:06
And truly, it's not really for us.
21:10
It's for the athletes so
21:11
they can share them.
21:15
I don't think enough people
21:17
appreciate it as they should.
21:21
ACRS, Corey, is that you?
21:24
I hope so.
21:25
I feel like me.
21:27
I've been up since four
21:28
o'clock this morning,
21:29
so I would say it's probably me.
21:31
Sounds like you.
21:32
It definitely sounds like me.
21:38
so uh let me ask you because
21:42
this is now we're going to
21:43
do this every wednesday now
21:45
yes fire wednesday you
21:48
always live in louisiana
21:50
yep whole life born and
21:52
raised born and raised from
21:55
where I live from where I'm
21:57
sitting right now and you
21:59
you have a wife yep you
22:01
have kids I do how many you
22:04
got uh two daughters and a stepson
22:10
and how active are they uh
22:14
stepson is fictionary oh
22:15
like active like as in so
22:18
my two daughters just
22:19
assumed being me just
22:22
females the little one uh
22:25
the the oldest one was a
22:27
hundred miles an hour the
22:28
entire time until she got
22:30
into you know into going
22:31
through high school the
22:32
youngest one is seven she is absolutely
22:37
I know,
22:37
I know we aren't doing a whole lot
22:38
of customs, but she is batshit crazy.
22:41
I realized most seven year olds are insane,
22:43
but like she is wild.
22:46
She told,
22:47
she had a bad dream last night
22:48
and Jennifer got up with
22:50
her and went lay down and
22:51
they slept on the couch.
22:52
And when she woke up this morning,
22:54
she told you, I've said,
22:56
we're not going to talk
22:56
about how much you move in your sleep.
23:00
Like, bro, I don't know.
23:04
It sounds like a Corey kid.
23:07
Uh, she's in tumbling right now.
23:09
And if you try to say how
23:11
much gymnastics you will
23:12
get corrected by a seven year old,
23:14
which is a whole lot of fun.
23:16
FYI, it's not gymnastics that is tumbling.
23:20
She's not happy about it,
23:22
but she's trying.
23:23
So,
23:24
so you've got a little bit of spread in
23:25
your kids.
23:26
What's that?
23:27
You've got a little bit of
23:28
spread in your kids.
23:29
They're not all like, Oh,
23:30
it's a lot of spread.
23:31
My oldest is twenty seven,
23:32
makes me twenty eight.
23:36
Yeah.
23:36
So like my daughter who is
23:38
twenty four will be twenty
23:41
four this year.
23:44
Yeah,
23:44
that's that's a whole different realm
23:45
than seven.
23:48
Not even close.
23:49
Not even close.
23:51
And then the eighteen year
23:51
old six and start LSU next year.
23:55
I was ready to murder at
23:56
four o'clock this morning
23:57
because he decided to get
23:58
up after me and jump into
23:59
bed and eat some ice cream,
24:01
which I don't care about.
24:02
That's fine.
24:04
I got up in the bowl was
24:05
still sitting in the sink
24:06
this morning and I'm like, bro,
24:09
just pick it up.
24:10
So you wash it.
24:13
And then put it in a dry board.
24:15
That's it.
24:16
Now,
24:16
the reason I'm saying that is because
24:17
I've told him that about
24:18
four hundred times.
24:20
And so I decided this
24:21
morning when I was in there
24:22
that the next time I get up
24:23
and there's something in
24:24
there that doesn't belong in there,
24:25
I'm just going to go put it in this room.
24:30
ACR says,
24:31
sounds like you said spread in
24:33
the family show.
24:34
I'm sorry.
24:35
That's usually for our
24:36
Clydesdale After Dark.
24:40
Yeah, that's Dexter's show.
24:48
So you're trying to
24:49
accomplish this big goal of
24:51
making the CrossFit Games.
24:52
Yes, sir.
24:53
You turn fifty.
24:54
One hundred percent.
24:56
You've got kids at every
24:59
level of life possible.
25:01
How do you balance all of
25:03
that and achieving your goal?
25:07
My wife is fantastic.
25:09
I don't know a better way to put it.
25:14
She hasn't been as
25:16
consistent here lately
25:17
because she hasn't been feeling great,
25:18
but she gets up and goes to five a.m.,
25:22
comes home, when she gets home, I leave,
25:24
go to the gym,
25:24
get my first session in
25:27
between six fifteen and
25:29
usually get to the gym about six fifteen.
25:30
I'm usually gone by right
25:32
around seven thirty.
25:34
Thankfully, CrossFit Virtus has a shower,
25:37
so I shower over there, get over here,
25:39
work all day,
25:42
and then I go get my second
25:43
session in the afternoon or
25:46
jump into five thirty class,
25:49
depending on what time I
25:49
leave out of here.
25:51
or just do my whatever other
25:52
imam programming I got.
25:54
And then I get home and I
25:56
just make sure that when I'm home,
25:58
I am as present as I possibly can be.
26:03
So that, you know,
26:04
whatever needs to be done, I just do it.
26:06
Like, I don't,
26:07
there's no sense in whinging about it or,
26:11
you know, God love him.
26:14
Like,
26:15
I picked up my son's bowl this morning,
26:16
even though I wanted to murder him.
26:18
Like it just needed to get done.
26:19
I didn't want to leave it in there.
26:21
I actually used it.
26:23
Aaron Frazier.
26:24
I sell insurance, Aaron.
26:27
Upstate, baby.
26:33
So many people in the chat
26:35
probably see you in chats
26:37
throughout the CrossFit space.
26:40
Every podcast.
26:42
Does that all happen on work time?
26:44
I usually have it playing in
26:46
the background.
26:47
Yeah.
26:48
It's while I'm at work,
26:49
but I usually have it
26:50
playing in the background, whatever's on.
26:52
And like my,
26:56
my workload is such that I can
26:58
listen to what's going on, be typing away,
27:01
doing, working up quotes, you know,
27:03
sending emails, receiving emails,
27:05
whatever in the meantime.
27:08
And then I'll jump in and
27:09
say what I got to say or whatnot,
27:10
or do whatever on whichever one I'm on.
27:14
Uh,
27:15
I am ridiculously good at multitasking.
27:17
It's kind of silly sometimes.
27:20
Like I can,
27:22
unless I'm seriously focused in
27:24
on something,
27:25
I can have three different
27:26
things going on in my head
27:28
and it's not that big a deal.
27:32
Yeah.
27:32
I like, because of what I do,
27:34
I try to listen to just
27:35
about everything out there,
27:38
but I listen on like one
27:39
and a half speed.
27:40
So listening live with the
27:42
chat is very hard for me.
27:44
Um,
27:46
And now the more I do it,
27:48
the more I like just getting through it.
27:53
And then if something grabs my attention,
27:56
then I might slow it down
27:59
or I'll stop and look at it.
28:04
And that's usually when I'll... Yeah,
28:07
Elisa's.
28:08
ACR's like,
28:08
I would one hundred percent
28:09
type an inappropriate chat
28:10
comment in a work email by accident.
28:13
Yeah.
28:14
It has come close to happening.
28:16
uh acr for damn sure and uh
28:19
are we on twitch we are
28:22
okay we are but only you
28:26
can see that hmm
28:28
interesting unless oh
28:30
anyway uh it's funny you
28:33
should mention that so like
28:34
I've tried to listen like
28:36
go back and listen to stuff
28:37
that I missed on one and a
28:39
half and whatnot and I can't like
28:43
Sounds ridiculous,
28:44
but I can have a phone call
28:46
going on while something's playing,
28:48
still be paying, you know,
28:50
like carrying on the phone
28:51
call and listening,
28:52
half-ass listening to what's going on,
28:54
you know, unless something catches my,
28:56
but one and a half speed, no.
28:59
One and a half speed throws
29:00
me for a loop every single
29:02
time because I'm like,
29:03
why are they talking so fast?
29:05
It's the only thing I can hear.
29:07
Yeah, I...
29:09
Like I work IT testing right now.
29:12
And so we're just running
29:14
case scenarios through
29:15
seeing if they work or not.
29:17
And to me,
29:19
having that on one and a half speed,
29:21
like I don't really have to
29:22
totally focus on the test.
29:23
I can focus.
29:26
And yeah, that's how.
29:28
So you don't see me type in the chat a ton,
29:31
but I'm listening.
29:32
yeah or like if a podcast
29:34
starts and I'm fifteen
29:35
minutes late to the game
29:37
like then I will hit it at
29:38
one and a half speed until
29:39
I catch up to live and then
29:41
I might put a couple chats
29:43
in or whatever but um I
29:46
hate when I accidentally
29:47
put a chat in thinking I'm
29:48
at like where everybody
29:50
else is and it's not and
29:52
people are more like
29:53
something from yeah twenty
29:55
minutes earlier I've done
29:56
that before yeah
30:00
So you're working with Brandon Luckett.
30:03
Yes, sir.
30:05
And do you do exclusively
30:07
that programming?
30:08
That is it.
30:09
Or do you supplement it with
30:10
anything else?
30:11
Nope.
30:12
Nope.
30:12
The only time I do stuff
30:13
that's outside of our
30:15
programming is when I – so
30:18
I'm also a coach.
30:21
I coach.
30:22
I coach this morning.
30:23
I coach pretty much every
30:24
Wednesday morning.
30:24
I open.
30:26
I got a couple of random closing –
30:29
days uh every now and again
30:31
uh and I usually get at
30:34
least one saturday a week
30:35
which a month rather which
30:36
is my favorite coach uh one
30:38
of my favorite classes
30:39
coach so I do try to also
30:43
hop into class um at least
30:46
once or twice a week uh
30:48
depending on what the
30:48
programming looks like
30:49
because it's not that I'm
30:52
scared I'm gonna mess up
30:54
without what what we do
30:55
with iman company but I don't uh
31:00
It's going to sound terrible,
31:01
but I can cherry pick.
31:03
So like last week we had on Monday,
31:08
we had some relatively heavy deadlifts.
31:11
Is it last week on Monday?
31:12
I think so.
31:14
And then the workout was...
31:18
Running, was it running?
31:20
I don't know,
31:21
something with ring muscle-ups.
31:22
I don't remember what the
31:22
other part of it was.
31:24
Yeah, I'm sorry.
31:25
So it was a play on the open
31:27
workout that was the sixty calories,
31:31
fifty toes to bar,
31:33
but instead of sixty calories,
31:35
it was a six hundred meter run,
31:37
and we had the fifty toes to bar,
31:38
and it was forty handstand push-ups,
31:41
and then thirty cleans,
31:43
and then max ring
31:44
muscle-ups and remaining time.
31:45
So I was like, I'm going to do that.
31:49
So that's the only time I'm
31:51
doing stuff that's not our
31:54
program is if I jump into class.
31:57
And like I said, I ain't glad nobody,
32:01
I want to represent a
32:01
cherry picket and go and
32:03
pick out which one I want to do.
32:04
Well, you call it cherry pick, but you're,
32:07
you're training so hard
32:08
with the EMOM company.
32:10
Isn't it okay to do some stuff for fun?
32:12
Oh, a hundred percent.
32:13
I mean,
32:13
that's the whole reason why I go
32:15
and do that is because I
32:16
love everybody at our gym.
32:18
Like we have one of the best communities,
32:23
I think anyway, around.
32:27
And it doesn't matter which
32:27
class I drop into.
32:29
Like I know somebody, you know,
32:31
probably multiple people in
32:33
there and they give me shit
32:35
every single time.
32:36
Like, oh,
32:36
you're going to come and join us today.
32:38
Like, yeah, sure am.
32:40
Handstand pushups and ring most loves.
32:41
I'm here.
32:42
Let's go.
32:46
So, and it's all in good fun.
32:49
You know, I love everybody there.
32:51
I like to think that most of
32:52
them at the very most love me.
32:56
I hope so.
32:57
Anyway.
33:00
Well, cool.
33:01
Just wanted to get to know
33:02
you a little bit since
33:02
you're going to be here on Wednesdays.
33:04
Yeah.
33:06
Shout out to Brandon and them.
33:09
While we're talking about email and code,
33:11
that's a good place in my heart.
33:15
That community as well is
33:17
one of the most supportive,
33:20
hardworking group of
33:22
absolute savages I've ever been around.
33:25
It is insane how fit those
33:28
people are and how much they will
33:31
More than that, they will.
33:32
They do just prop each other
33:35
up every single day.
33:37
It's fantastic, dude.
33:39
Good people.
33:40
And he texted us all this morning,
33:42
as a matter of fact.
33:43
I'm so proud of all of y'all.
33:44
He said, you guys are so fit.
33:47
Seriously, I really do love y'all.
33:49
Y'all are awesome.
33:50
He's a good dude, man.
33:51
Really.
33:51
I mean, you've had him on here.
33:54
Yeah.
33:55
And so yesterday I actually talked about
33:58
I tried to go through the
33:59
leaderboard and who was in
34:01
and who was out like the
34:02
final take of it all then
34:05
spin put out this graphic
34:07
last night that showed who
34:09
was in and who's out and I
34:10
missed a couple um none
34:13
were like big surprises
34:15
except for people for me on
34:17
the men's side and if you
34:18
haven't seen the graphic
34:22
pull it up here.
34:23
So this is what it looks like.
34:25
The black and white pictures
34:26
are those who are out.
34:27
The colorized pictures are
34:30
those who are in.
34:32
I was actually surprised
34:34
Moritz Fiebig was in.
34:36
Oh.
34:37
That one surprised me a little bit.
34:38
That surprised me as well.
34:40
What really surprised me
34:42
were Cole Greasaber.
34:45
Did not expect that.
34:46
And Saxon Pancheck.
34:49
Wow.
34:49
Wow.
34:51
with all of his talk about
34:52
the community and doing the
34:54
open and stuff leading up to this.
34:56
Now he did get a job with
34:57
the WFP and maybe they have
35:00
demanded exclusivity for their employees.
35:04
No, but that one,
35:06
that one was a stunner for me.
35:08
I have been good friends with Saxon since,
35:11
he used to come to our gym
35:13
and work out occasionally.
35:15
Um,
35:15
I've been to his gym when it was open
35:18
and worked out with him.
35:20
Uh,
35:21
That one was a stunner for me.
35:24
I did see that.
35:25
I didn't see everybody.
35:28
Like you said, I kind of glanced over it,
35:30
saw a couple people I knew
35:35
was not going to be in or whatnot.
35:37
I did not see that.
35:41
Carone is a little bit of a surprise to me,
35:44
but he's been so hurt the
35:47
last couple years.
35:47
I don't know if it's more
35:48
for injury than anything else.
35:52
Maybe taking,
35:53
maybe taking a year to get fully, uh,
35:55
and the same with Brandon,
35:56
but Brandon was retired before last year,
35:59
accidentally made the games.
36:00
I'm assuming he just don't
36:03
go through it again.
36:04
Last year, last year was not an accident.
36:05
He trained for,
36:06
he was trying to make the games.
36:08
Um, he is a new father.
36:10
Ah, so,
36:13
and he literally just moved in or
36:15
is not even finished moving
36:16
in to his new house.
36:17
Uh,
36:19
Literally sent us a picture
36:21
yesterday still with the
36:23
U-Haul truck that he had
36:24
was trying to get all this
36:26
stuff moving and whatnot.
36:27
Because I got a couple
36:29
different text messages.
36:30
Why isn't Brandon in the open?
36:31
I'm like, if I had to make a guess,
36:34
it's because he doesn't
36:36
want to accidentally get
36:37
caught up having good
36:39
scores and then going,
36:40
I wonder if I can make the games again.
36:41
Because it's new baby, new house,
36:44
all the things.
36:46
He's also...
36:47
basically the coach for the
36:51
email company team that is
36:53
trying to make the games
36:55
yeah um and aaron frazier
36:58
says you can do the open
36:59
and not participate in the
37:00
rest of the season um and
37:04
that is true that is
37:05
completely true uh just
37:07
because you're at this
37:08
point doesn't mean that
37:09
you're uh continually um
37:12
gonna do this the entire season um
37:18
Craig says, I'm giving sex.
37:19
I'm not upset at sex and you
37:21
can do whatever you want to do.
37:22
I've said that a million times.
37:23
Nobody owns anybody,
37:24
anything in this life.
37:26
You have opportunities and
37:27
you can take advantage of
37:28
those opportunities or not.
37:30
It is up to him to do that.
37:32
That's fine.
37:32
Just was surprising because
37:34
of what Aaron says here.
37:37
Seems like a complete one AD
37:38
from his show on Savant's with Angelo.
37:40
I agree.
37:43
The way he was talking
37:44
leading up to this made you
37:46
believe that he was fully
37:48
supporting CrossFit and its season.
37:52
And so it does seem like a
37:53
complete one-eighty.
37:54
That is why it was a shock to me.
37:56
But it's his choice.
37:57
He can do whatever he wants to do.
37:59
And that is fine.
38:01
I would say the ones you mentioned, him,
38:05
obviously, is a bit of a shock.
38:09
Moritz being in...
38:11
I would not have guessed.
38:13
Matter of fact, I thought he was out that,
38:15
but good for him.
38:17
You know, but again, I mean,
38:18
he has to do semis.
38:20
Yeah, not at all.
38:22
Not at all.
38:22
Sun could open and see what
38:23
happens after that.
38:25
And then, uh, Oh, what was the other one?
38:30
Oh, Cole gray shaver.
38:31
That one.
38:32
I didn't see that coming either,
38:33
but I have, I have absolutely no idea.
38:35
No context as, as to what that is about.
38:38
Did you see that Lucas
38:39
Holtberg got a invite to, uh,
38:43
rebel games?
38:44
Yeah.
38:45
Yeah, I did.
38:46
I love that dude.
38:47
He is insane and I'm here for it.
38:49
Uh, on the women's side,
38:51
really no shockers.
38:52
Most of these were announced prior to, uh,
39:00
so nothing,
39:01
nothing that caught me off
39:02
guard at this point.
39:05
Um, yeah,
39:10
but I thought this was a neat
39:11
graphic that has been put together.
39:14
Uh,
39:14
so you can go to his IgE and check it
39:15
out if you want to look at
39:16
it more closely.
39:18
Um,
39:18
sometimes you can't see the names on
39:19
the chest, so you have to know what the,
39:21
um, who the person is by their face or,
39:25
um, or figure it out.
39:27
Um,
39:30
anyway oh I did uh so
39:32
siobhan put it uh the part
39:35
one up for a little while
39:36
yesterday of the scenes and
39:41
I actually got to see it
39:42
and yeah you were right
39:44
like it was cool it was
39:47
cool it was cool and then
39:49
oh yep there's that guy and
39:52
out with that part kind of hit uh
39:57
I imagine he says he's going
39:58
to eventually explain why,
40:00
what's the deal with not
40:02
making that one public again,
40:04
probably ever.
40:06
Aaron's asking if I've
40:07
reached out to Saxon.
40:08
I have.
40:10
I would love his perspective as well.
40:15
Yeah.
40:16
Just curious.
40:18
I will say...
40:20
and I don't mean this,
40:21
he's probably got a lot going on.
40:24
I actually have his phone number.
40:25
It's not a DM.
40:26
Like I was texting him.
40:28
I did not get responded to.
40:31
So I don't,
40:32
he apparently he's not in the
40:34
mood to talk every other
40:35
time I've asked him to come on the show.
40:37
He's come on like within a
40:39
day or two of me asking.
40:42
So I don't know.
40:45
It's, it's just a weird,
40:46
weird situation for me.
40:49
And again,
40:51
he can do whatever he wants to do.
40:52
I'm not here to judge.
40:54
Um, so just curious.
40:58
That's it.
40:59
Yeah.
41:01
Yeah.
41:02
Um,
41:04
and I am this afternoon going to put in
41:06
a request for media
41:07
credentials for the first
41:08
tour event for world fitness project.
41:11
Uh,
41:11
since it is just two hours away from my
41:12
house.
41:14
Um, uh,
41:14
and I can drive over there and see
41:16
what it, what it looks like in person.
41:18
Yeah.
41:19
I'm curious, dude.
41:25
I want to see, like you said,
41:26
what it's going to look like.
41:27
How's the flow going to work?
41:28
How's the events are going to look like?
41:31
It's weird to me.
41:34
I forget if they were
41:34
talking about it on the
41:35
spin or whoever it was that
41:37
they announced all their
41:38
movements already.
41:41
And their first event is not until what,
41:42
May?
41:45
Eric says ghosting is so annoying.
41:48
I'm not even calling this ghosting.
41:49
I'm a media member.
41:53
He is an athlete.
42:00
It happens.
42:00
It happens all the time when
42:02
I'm requesting stuff from people.
42:06
You don't get no's.
42:08
You just get nothing.
42:13
So, yeah,
42:15
you can't take it personally or
42:16
you'll just be depressed
42:17
the whole time you're
42:18
requesting any kind of
42:20
activity from an athlete.
42:23
Yeah, I think if you take it personally,
42:26
that's a you problem at that point.
42:34
Man, I am sorry about the coffee.
42:37
No, dude.
42:39
Our temperature is dropping
42:40
rapidly right now and I can feel it.
42:44
My sinuses are just aching.
42:47
Yeah.
42:49
I told you earlier,
42:50
my wife is just getting over it.
42:52
The sinus infection.
42:54
Like she, at one point last week,
42:57
she legitimately was
42:58
concerned because she
43:01
couldn't figure out what was happening.
43:03
And then finally got some antibiotics.
43:07
Yes.
43:08
No Monday.
43:10
And it started feeling better yesterday.
43:16
Well,
43:16
I find out today my wife is doing her
43:20
first ortho or her second
43:22
ortho follow-up since surgery.
43:25
And we will find out when
43:28
surgery number two is.
43:32
We can pull it off within
43:33
our benefit year or if
43:35
we're going to have to wait
43:36
until next benefit year.
43:38
How's she moving?
43:40
Oh my,
43:41
like way better than she was even
43:43
before the surgery.
43:44
Good.
43:45
Good.
43:48
She was cane reliant before the surgery.
43:52
And now like she walks more
43:54
without the cane today than
43:56
she did before the surgery.
43:58
Sweet.
43:59
Yeah.
44:00
Now,
44:00
the problem is the new knee makes her
44:04
taller on that side.
44:06
Yeah.
44:06
Because it's not all like crumpled up.
44:08
Right.
44:10
It's got some stuff in
44:11
between it that belongs there.
44:13
So she's having some pain
44:15
from the difference in the
44:16
leg height lengths.
44:19
So we got to get the other one done,
44:20
which is not as bad as the other one was.
44:26
But just to even shit out.
44:29
Yeah.
44:31
I understand.
44:32
That's gotta be a weird feeling.
44:34
Yeah.
44:34
And speaking of surgeries,
44:36
shout out to Kat.
44:37
She had surgery this morning.
44:39
Still waiting to hear how that went,
44:41
where she is having her
44:43
elbow stuff reattached.
44:45
Yeah.
44:48
so we will find out
44:49
hopefully later today how
44:50
she's doing you said she
44:54
did she did how'd she go uh
44:59
she was happy with it I
45:00
don't know but she had to
45:01
do it one-armed so she
45:05
could not do the dumbbell
45:06
clean and jerks using her right arm oh
45:14
That had to suck because I
45:15
know like once you get deep into it.
45:18
So I started off.
45:20
I did three,
45:21
three or three rather in the
45:24
six all on the same arm.
45:25
I got to the nine.
45:26
I did three on one arm.
45:28
I think I did the next six
45:29
on the left arm.
45:29
Just trying to, you know,
45:31
start giving myself a
45:32
little bit of balance and whatnot.
45:33
But once I got like.
45:35
Twelve minutes in or something like that,
45:36
it was on one arm until
45:38
that all got tired and then
45:40
I switched over and got
45:41
onto the other one.
45:41
I cannot imagine.
45:44
just yes we just we just
45:47
left on it the whole time
45:50
um so shout out to her for
45:52
doing that and just holding
45:54
on with that one arm the
45:55
entire time that had to be
45:56
miserable yeah so I started
46:00
left I started left with
46:03
that being my weaker arm
46:05
saving the right arm for
46:07
later in the workout
46:12
so I'm not laughing at you
46:13
I'm laughing at Bert's
46:14
comment but again I'm fifty
46:16
five so I got to go to the
46:19
reduce your weights level
46:21
now so RX for me was thirty
46:23
five and that was just a
46:25
joke oh yeah I'd imagine so
46:29
I was pretty much strict
46:30
pressing the entire time
46:36
bananas dude um but my
46:37
burpees are terrible and I
46:38
got it I was cherry picking
46:40
out of burpees speaking of
46:41
cherry picking for a good
46:43
couple weeks so I need to
46:44
get back to adding those in
46:48
basic stuff gotta get down
46:49
and get up get down and get
46:52
up uh aaron asked how the
46:53
wiping was going we're
46:54
gonna find out soon that is
46:57
for sure hopefully
46:59
hopefully she learned how
47:00
to wipe with her
47:00
non-dominant hand look yeah
47:05
were some interesting
47:06
suggestions on instagram
47:07
let's just say that uh
47:13
andrew I had to do ninety
47:14
percent on my left arm as
47:15
well that got very tiring
47:19
and jay birch I did three
47:20
on the right then three
47:22
right three left then
47:23
alternating if somebody
47:26
watched me go like
47:28
Like if Tristan would have
47:30
watched me go or, you know,
47:31
one of my coaches would
47:32
have watched me go,
47:32
they probably would have
47:33
been yelling at me the
47:34
entire time once I got to
47:36
the later rounds because
47:37
there was no rhyme or reason.
47:38
I literally went until I got
47:39
tired on one arm.
47:41
And then I just switched midair,
47:43
kept going.
47:44
Like the dumbbell wasn't a problem.
47:46
It was just going until I
47:49
got tired on that one arm
47:50
and then we just switched
47:50
to the other one.
47:51
And I'm sure that some high
47:54
level coach would have told
47:56
me that was probably a bad idea, but.
47:58
It worked.
47:59
That was me.
48:00
But I went on broken because
48:01
I didn't get that high.
48:04
My reps never got to a point
48:05
where that mattered.
48:07
Yeah.
48:08
Well, no,
48:09
especially now with the thirty five.
48:10
Good Lord.
48:10
You're way stronger to move
48:11
that thing with no big deal.
48:13
Yeah.
48:15
And my burpees were so slow
48:16
that I never got out of the fifteens.
48:20
So my goal was to get to them.
48:22
Then I almost finished them.
48:24
And so I'm happy.
48:26
Hey, bro.
48:27
Meted and exceeded.
48:29
Meted and exceeded.
48:30
Until then, you missed that last lunge,
48:32
and you could have had a hundred.
48:33
Instead, you have ninety-nine.
48:39
Because three digits sounds
48:40
way better than two.
48:42
Well,
48:42
I had one of the dudes I met at Legends.
48:46
We've been chatting back and
48:48
forth since the Open, since Legends,
48:50
really.
48:51
And he hit me up.
48:54
was saturday and saturday I
48:56
said man great job you know
48:58
because I get done dude I
48:58
put my score in like I'm
49:00
not hiding from nobody like
49:02
I don't beat me if you can
49:03
cool that's fine but anyway
49:06
um and I was like thanks
49:09
man you know said two forty
49:11
eight pretty excited about
49:12
that you know I felt pretty
49:13
good about it and I was
49:14
like what you getting he
49:15
said two forty nine I said
49:17
you son of a it said
49:21
He said, bro, I had to.
49:22
I had to.
49:23
He said, when I saw your score,
49:24
I had to hit you up.
49:25
And I said, no, no, by all means,
49:27
please do.
49:27
Like, I'm here for it.
49:28
Like, let's give it a go.
49:33
I am not a. Aaron wants to
49:35
know what your score was.
49:37
Two forty eight.
49:39
That is sixteen burpees in
49:40
the round of twenty seven.
49:44
Craig says,
49:44
Kat's not going to attract many
49:45
men with conversations on wiping.
49:48
You will be surprised.
49:49
She got some offers to assist.
49:55
I guarantee you she probably
49:56
got more attention than she wanted.
49:57
It is a weird and wacky world out there.
50:00
Yeah,
50:00
she probably actually got more
50:01
attention than she wanted
50:02
to with a conversation about wiping.
50:04
Yeah, I was shocked.
50:08
Shocked.
50:10
Thanks, Birch.
50:12
Um,
50:14
But, yeah, well, that's about it, man.
50:17
We are way over our forty
50:20
five minutes and my boss is
50:22
probably screaming at me right now.
50:24
Let's hope not.
50:27
So get back to work, you hooligans.
50:29
Lunch with the Clydesdale is
50:31
over and we'll see you tomorrow.
50:33
Clydesdale Roundtable tomorrow.
50:35
See you there.
50:36
Bye, guys.
