Lunch with the Clydesdale - Buttery Bros Hear Surgery Video Seems so Familiar · Clydesdale Media Podcast

• 0:33
  everybody welcome to lunch
• 0:35
  with the Clydesdale we are
• 0:36
  back and better than ever
• 0:38
  my apologies last week was
• 0:40
  a little rough uh leading a
• 0:42
  project working some
• 0:43
  overtime really kind of
• 0:45
  took out a lot of my energy
• 0:47
  last week and that uh that
• 0:49
  became kind of the uh
• 0:53
  where my my head was last
• 0:55
  week and so didn't have a
• 0:56
  lot of time for lunch so
• 0:57
  we're back to doing lunch
• 0:58
  this week can't wait to
• 1:00
  talk to you all about a lot
• 1:01
  of things what's going on
• 1:02
  lex aaron frazier what's
• 1:04
  for lunch um I actually
• 1:05
  have some buffalo chicken
• 1:07
  uh that I have waiting for
• 1:08
  me upstairs as soon as this
• 1:10
  is over and I will be
• 1:11
  digging into that um yeah
• 1:15
  prep that over the weekend
• 1:17
  so have some of that I will
• 1:18
  do a lot of that this weekend
• 1:24
  Lex asks, how's the day going?
• 1:26
  Do you have to go back into
• 1:26
  the office anytime soon?
• 1:28
  Well,
• 1:28
  the executive order is that all state
• 1:31
  employees have to be back
• 1:33
  by March seventeenth.
• 1:35
  That is not realistic.
• 1:40
  It has to go through our
• 1:41
  Department of
• 1:42
  Administrative Services
• 1:44
  because buildings were
• 1:45
  eliminated for cost savings
• 1:46
  measures and then they have
• 1:48
  to kind of decide
• 1:50
  how many each agency has to
• 1:52
  send back by that March seventeenth.
• 1:56
  And then can we afford new
• 1:58
  buildings or not?
• 2:00
  At the time of the last biennium budget,
• 2:02
  which is a two year budget
• 2:04
  here in the state of Ohio,
• 2:05
  they did not have money for
• 2:06
  more office space.
• 2:09
  So we're just kind of waiting and seeing.
• 2:12
  And the final list for who
• 2:14
  comes back March
• 2:14
  seventeenth will be out on
• 2:15
  the twenty eighth of February.
• 2:18
  So I've got ten days to wait and see,
• 2:23
  and then we'll see what
• 2:24
  happens from there.
• 2:26
  I'm hoping I don't have to go back to work,
• 2:28
  but I'm trying not to be mad if I do.
• 2:34
  I'll just figure out a way to do things.
• 2:39
  But I do my job.
• 2:39
  I meet my deadlines.
• 2:41
  I put out good work and I
• 2:43
  can do that in the office
• 2:44
  or out of the office.
• 2:46
  But it is like I've never
• 2:49
  missed a deadline with my boss.
• 2:51
  So it's a little frustrating.
• 2:55
  And actually at home,
• 2:56
  I get more done personally
• 2:58
  because when you're in the office,
• 3:00
  people stop by your desk all day long.
• 3:02
  and interrupt me.
• 3:03
  And I am better if I can
• 3:05
  just get into a flow state
• 3:06
  and just kind of go from
• 3:08
  beginning to end and work
• 3:10
  through my projects.
• 3:12
  And when I'm in an office,
• 3:14
  that never happens.
• 3:16
  I'm interrupted twenty times
• 3:18
  a day in the middle of my stuff.
• 3:21
  So I really enjoyed the time at home.
• 3:23
  I'm hoping I get to continue that.
• 3:26
  But
• 3:27
  I've wasted too much energy
• 3:29
  on worrying about it.
• 3:30
  And, um, I'll just, whatever comes, comes.
• 3:36
  Um, I agree.
• 3:39
  If you're getting your work done,
• 3:40
  shouldn't matter where it's done.
• 3:43
  Completely agree.
• 3:46
  So, um,
• 3:49
  So yeah, but other than that,
• 3:50
  it's super cold here in Ohio today.
• 3:54
  As soon as this is done and
• 3:56
  I eat some lunch, my wife, Julie,
• 3:59
  has to go to PT.
• 4:01
  So I dug out half of my
• 4:04
  driveway over the weekend,
• 4:06
  and now I have to do the
• 4:07
  other half to get her out
• 4:09
  for PT and make sure she
• 4:10
  can get there with her cane.
• 4:15
  But I actually tweaked my
• 4:16
  back shoveling snow this weekend.
• 4:18
  So I'm trying to do it smart
• 4:20
  in a smart manner.
• 4:25
  I was if I was shoveling
• 4:28
  snow and I was hunched over
• 4:30
  and just go into town like boom, boom,
• 4:33
  boom.
• 4:34
  And then I hit this wet
• 4:35
  patch that was super packed
• 4:37
  and super heavy.
• 4:38
  And I went to throw it and
• 4:39
  felt the tweak right down my back.
• 4:42
  So yesterday I stretched all day,
• 4:45
  put some heat and ice on it.
• 4:48
  Um, and today I feel much, much better,
• 4:50
  but I don't want to go out
• 4:51
  and then face the same thing today.
• 4:53
  So I'm trying to figure out
• 4:54
  a way to do it.
• 4:55
  Um, my cohost Amy from the round table,
• 4:58
  they just bought an electric shovel.
• 5:00
  Um,
• 5:00
  and she said it was such a huge
• 5:02
  investment.
• 5:02
  It's like a little mini
• 5:03
  snowblower on the top of, on,
• 5:07
  on your shovel to kind of
• 5:08
  throw snow as you're moving.
• 5:11
  Um,
• 5:11
  Um,
• 5:12
  and that's really where it happens for
• 5:13
  me is throwing the snow,
• 5:15
  like in you're twisting and
• 5:17
  you're doing things that
• 5:18
  you're not normally doing,
• 5:19
  like in the gym or you're
• 5:21
  not set like you are in the gym.
• 5:23
  And that is, yeah.
• 5:26
  And my back is my back sucks anyway.
• 5:28
  So, uh,
• 5:30
  should have been more careful when
• 5:31
  I got to the street and the new,
• 5:34
  the snow would probably be
• 5:34
  more wet down there.
• 5:36
  Uh, but just trying to get things done.
• 5:39
  Right.
• 5:43
  Last night,
• 5:44
  it got into negative
• 5:44
  temperatures here in Ohio,
• 5:46
  and I think that they're
• 5:47
  calling for some more of
• 5:48
  that through the day.
• 5:53
  For tonight, it is bitterly cold.
• 5:55
  And Lex, no.
• 5:58
  The walks get definitely
• 5:59
  minimal when it's this cold.
• 6:02
  But Walter will not poop
• 6:04
  unless he's on a walk.
• 6:06
  So I've got to do at least
• 6:07
  many walks with him a
• 6:08
  couple times a day because
• 6:09
  he is a two-a-day pooper.
• 6:12
  We have that down now.
• 6:15
  But yeah,
• 6:18
  they've become more minimal and
• 6:19
  not everybody is shoveling
• 6:21
  their sidewalk here.
• 6:22
  So it is really hard to get
• 6:26
  around the neighborhood.
• 6:27
  The roads are ice right now.
• 6:29
  So I can't even like go down
• 6:30
  to the street level to walk him at all.
• 6:35
  It's tough.
• 6:37
  So.
• 6:39
  Yeah,
• 6:39
  all of you people bragging that it's
• 6:41
  AD and sunny in Florida and
• 6:44
  a sixty five and sunny
• 6:46
  wherever Aaron Frazier is
• 6:47
  that that just is ridiculous.
• 6:54
  Alex,
• 6:55
  my dogs won't pee unless on a walk to
• 6:57
  they train us for their preferences.
• 6:59
  They sure do.
• 7:01
  Yeah.
• 7:05
  And I'm sure it's warm in Cali too.
• 7:07
  It is.
• 7:07
  Yes.
• 7:09
  It is so bitterly cold.
• 7:10
  It's cold in this podcast center.
• 7:12
  My basement has one tiny
• 7:14
  little vent and it is not enough.
• 7:17
  Um, at some point I need to throw on the,
• 7:20
  uh, uh, the electric heater,
• 7:25
  man is just awful down here.
• 7:28
  Uh,
• 7:28
  Jody Lynn is all ice up in the Northeast.
• 7:32
  So dangerous.
• 7:34
  Yeah.
• 7:35
  Our street is all ice right now.
• 7:39
  So, um, yeah,
• 7:41
  I'm like long sleeve in it today.
• 7:44
  Uh, just trying to get through,
• 7:47
  just trying to get through the cold.
• 7:50
  So, um,
• 7:53
  So yeah,
• 7:53
  so that's kind of how the day's
• 7:54
  going so far.
• 7:57
  Got a lot of work done this morning.
• 8:01
  Yeah, ACR, I am totally with you.
• 8:03
  It's freezing and I'm so over winter.
• 8:06
  Yeah,
• 8:06
  Punxsutawney Phil is definitely on my
• 8:09
  list.
• 8:11
  Seeing his shadow and giving
• 8:12
  us six more weeks of winter was an awful,
• 8:16
  awful gift from him this year.
• 8:18
  Although I am glad here in Columbus,
• 8:20
  we've got not a ton of snow.
• 8:23
  It's just been cold.
• 8:25
  So cold.
• 8:26
  Like I have barely had to
• 8:28
  shovel this year.
• 8:30
  And that's why it's like,
• 8:33
  do I buy the electric
• 8:34
  shovel and then have it and
• 8:36
  then probably buy it and
• 8:37
  not get another snow?
• 8:39
  Or if I don't buy it,
• 8:41
  we'll get six more snows.
• 8:43
  So that's how it works, right?
• 8:47
  You know,
• 8:47
  you buy gas and the price drops tomorrow.
• 8:50
  That's how it always happens for me.
• 8:53
  Can't ever get the right prediction.
• 8:57
  So the first thing I just
• 8:59
  wanted to chat about is I
• 9:04
  watched this video yesterday.
• 9:07
  It's from the Buttery Bros.
• 9:09
  It is, I woke up during heart surgery.
• 9:14
  And I'm not here to get into
• 9:15
  a political conversation about this show,
• 9:19
  but what it did for me is
• 9:22
  what I found out is Marston
• 9:24
  Sawyer went through AFib just like I did.
• 9:30
  And they walk through what
• 9:32
  happened to him during that
• 9:35
  process and the steps they
• 9:37
  took with medication.
• 9:39
  And eventually he had a heart ablation,
• 9:43
  which for me is the next
• 9:45
  step if the medication doesn't work.
• 9:49
  So I am in the let's see if
• 9:51
  the medicine works stage.
• 9:53
  Marston went through that
• 9:55
  what seems to be like a year ago.
• 9:58
  where they put him on
• 9:59
  medication to see if that worked.
• 10:00
  Uh,
• 10:02
  and then when he went to have the hair
• 10:04
  transplant surgery, uh,
• 10:06
  his heartbeat was all over the place.
• 10:09
  They almost did not perform
• 10:10
  the surgery because of that.
• 10:12
  And then when he got back,
• 10:13
  he went back to his cardiologist, uh,
• 10:16
  and they determined that his, um,
• 10:20
  arrhythmia or atribule fibrillation,
• 10:24
  a fib, uh, was back, uh,
• 10:27
  And they were going to need
• 10:28
  to take steps to correct that.
• 10:32
  What was really cool about it is one,
• 10:34
  for the first time,
• 10:36
  I didn't feel alone in this
• 10:38
  process because he questioned that, like,
• 10:41
  I do all these workouts.
• 10:42
  I do all this.
• 10:43
  I eat right.
• 10:44
  I do all these things.
• 10:46
  And yet this is still happening to me.
• 10:49
  Why is this happening?
• 10:51
  And I've had those same
• 10:51
  questions go through my head.
• 10:54
  Um,
• 10:57
  why did this happen to me at
• 11:01
  one of my most healthy
• 11:02
  moments in my life?
• 11:03
  So the other thing was,
• 11:07
  is I had the option at the
• 11:08
  cardiologist last time to
• 11:10
  try the medicine or go for the ablation.
• 11:14
  And I chose the medicine,
• 11:16
  but now I got to see what
• 11:18
  the ablation is and how it works.
• 11:21
  And they walked through those steps.
• 11:25
  And almost gave you like a
• 11:26
  worst case scenario because
• 11:28
  they had to wake up Marston
• 11:30
  in the middle of the
• 11:30
  surgery because they
• 11:32
  couldn't find his regular
• 11:34
  heartbeat to be able to
• 11:37
  burn the sensors to get
• 11:40
  everything back in regular sinus rhythm.
• 11:45
  And so they had to wake him up.
• 11:47
  And then when they woke him up,
• 11:48
  they found it and said, hey, we found it.
• 11:51
  Can we go ahead with the procedure?
• 11:53
  And they did it while he was awake.
• 11:56
  And he kind of described
• 11:58
  what that felt like.
• 11:59
  And, um,
• 12:02
  and so while it wasn't optimal and
• 12:04
  it wasn't what I would want,
• 12:06
  it is something that is
• 12:07
  doable in a worst case scenario.
• 12:12
  Hopefully if that had does
• 12:13
  happen to me and I have to have it,
• 12:15
  that I won't have to be
• 12:16
  woken up during the surgery.
• 12:19
  But, um,
• 12:21
  But yeah,
• 12:22
  it was really cool seeing someone
• 12:24
  else in the space that I
• 12:27
  live and work in go through
• 12:30
  the exact same thing that I
• 12:32
  have gone through for the last year plus.
• 12:37
  According to him,
• 12:37
  this has been something
• 12:38
  he's been dealing with
• 12:39
  since probably twenty twenty one.
• 12:44
  And that's just from his
• 12:45
  data that they kind of figure that out.
• 12:49
  But the sensations he was
• 12:52
  feeling prior to it being
• 12:54
  discovered are the same
• 12:55
  things I felt prior to mine
• 12:58
  being discovered and so on.
• 13:00
  So it's really cool that I
• 13:04
  got to see that personally,
• 13:05
  just selfishly.
• 13:07
  It made me feel much more at ease.
• 13:11
  And I think they did a
• 13:12
  really good job with the video overall.
• 13:15
  Yeah.
• 13:17
  There's going to be some
• 13:19
  politicalness in this video
• 13:20
  if you choose to watch it.
• 13:22
  I'll just prep you for that.
• 13:23
  I didn't want to get into
• 13:24
  that today because it's
• 13:25
  more about how I connected
• 13:27
  with the story that I
• 13:28
  wanted to talk about today.
• 13:32
  And everything else is more
• 13:33
  speculation than fact.
• 13:36
  And so I just want to leave it at that.
• 13:41
  So if you choose to,
• 13:44
  if you're curious about what AFib is,
• 13:46
  it's a great documentary to
• 13:48
  kind of go through that.
• 13:49
  And it's nineteen minutes long.
• 13:51
  It's a quick one and one of the better.
• 13:56
  one of the better buttery
• 13:57
  bros videos I've seen in
• 13:58
  the last few months years
• 14:01
  um I thought it was really
• 14:02
  well done um and applaud
• 14:04
  them for uh sharing all
• 14:07
  this information and for
• 14:08
  marston to be so vulnerable
• 14:10
  uh to share that so uh
• 14:14
  really excited he did that
• 14:17
  while I'm promoting other things, um,
• 14:20
  I also,
• 14:21
  this is something we've talked
• 14:22
  about on our Sunday night show,
• 14:25
  which if you did not see
• 14:26
  the Sunday night show,
• 14:28
  you need to go watch this week.
• 14:29
  What a great conversation.
• 14:30
  So we had,
• 14:31
  we had on there a very open
• 14:33
  dialogue about the open,
• 14:35
  about why you should,
• 14:37
  why people are or people,
• 14:39
  why people aren't doing it
• 14:41
  and being open to all
• 14:43
  possibilities in that.
• 14:45
  Um,
• 14:47
  think it was a great great
• 14:48
  discussion and we also got
• 14:50
  a perspective from carolyn
• 14:52
  about when she did an open
• 14:54
  announcement uh with
• 14:55
  carolyn reason tebow uh
• 14:57
  back in the day and what
• 14:59
  that was like um which is
• 15:02
  awesome so you should it's
• 15:03
  a great episode you should
• 15:04
  check it out it's one of
• 15:05
  the best ones we did we
• 15:06
  actually do a rundown every
• 15:08
  week we didn't even make it
• 15:09
  halfway through the rundown
• 15:11
  because the conversation was
• 15:13
  so good this week,
• 15:14
  and we just kind of dove
• 15:15
  into all of that.
• 15:17
  So please go check out that
• 15:19
  Sunday night show.
• 15:23
  The other thing I wanted to
• 15:25
  talk about is we've been
• 15:26
  talking about on that show the new –
• 15:30
  uh, the new CrossFit podcast, uh,
• 15:34
  hosted by Denise Thomas.
• 15:36
  Um,
• 15:37
  last week she had Nicole Carol on
• 15:41
  talking about, um,
• 15:42
  CrossFit in general and her
• 15:44
  new role and what she
• 15:46
  thinks needs improved in
• 15:47
  CrossFit and how she thinks
• 15:49
  that CrossFit lost its way
• 15:50
  for a little bit.
• 15:52
  Um, and it was a great episode this week.
• 15:56
  She has, uh, Chuck Carswell on.
• 16:00
  I got to meet Chuck way back
• 16:02
  in my volunteer days.
• 16:04
  He was the head judge at one
• 16:06
  of the events that I was judging at.
• 16:08
  What a great guy.
• 16:09
  Super awesome.
• 16:11
  Super nice to everybody.
• 16:14
  Just an amazing, amazing guy.
• 16:18
  And he has actually taught
• 16:20
  more CrossFit seminars than
• 16:26
  any other person in the
• 16:27
  history of CrossFit.
• 16:30
  So he is the most
• 16:31
  experienced seminar staff
• 16:33
  member that they have.
• 16:35
  And they're really talking
• 16:36
  about his history and how he
• 16:38
  I've only gotten,
• 16:38
  you can see where the red line is.
• 16:40
  That is where I've gotten to
• 16:42
  in the podcast so far.
• 16:44
  And it's really about his
• 16:45
  history and how he finds
• 16:46
  CrossFit and why he started
• 16:49
  to believe that it was the
• 16:50
  most effective way to gain fitness.
• 16:55
  But it's really interesting
• 16:57
  because Denise is forcing
• 16:59
  him to use his own words to describe why.
• 17:03
  And I love that.
• 17:04
  I love that it's,
• 17:06
  You know,
• 17:06
  because us in the space know all
• 17:10
  of the definitions, right?
• 17:13
  Where when he's using his own words,
• 17:15
  someone that may not be
• 17:16
  from the CrossFit space is
• 17:18
  now learning more about what CrossFit is.
• 17:23
  And I love the way that
• 17:24
  she's doing that and
• 17:25
  approaching that with him.
• 17:27
  And I think it's very
• 17:28
  effective if you're trying
• 17:30
  to reach people outside the space.
• 17:34
  Um, and you know, the way YouTube is today,
• 17:36
  you can share little snippets of things.
• 17:39
  I think that's going to be a
• 17:40
  truly effective if that's
• 17:42
  the path that they continue to go down.
• 17:45
  So if you haven't seen this,
• 17:46
  make sure to go out and check this out.
• 17:48
  We'll probably talk about it
• 17:49
  more on our regular big shows.
• 17:52
  Um, but yeah,
• 17:53
  I'm just telling you it's good.
• 17:56
  Check it out.
• 17:59
  And we've talked about the
• 18:01
  Nicole Carroll one,
• 18:02
  and that one is fabulous.
• 18:03
  Go check that one out as well.
• 18:07
  So now for a little bit of fun stuff.
• 18:12
  I was really busy over the weekend,
• 18:14
  and we had the Sunday night
• 18:15
  show that went right over SNL Fifty.
• 18:20
  We talked about it briefly
• 18:21
  on the Sunday night show
• 18:23
  about the SNL-Fifty, but I was a huge,
• 18:26
  huge Saturday Night Live fan growing up.
• 18:30
  I told the story of when I
• 18:32
  was a bouncer at a bar,
• 18:34
  we used to record Saturday
• 18:35
  Night Live on VHS tape.
• 18:38
  set the old V VCR.
• 18:41
  And when we were done with our shift,
• 18:43
  we would come up to my apartment,
• 18:45
  grab a few beers,
• 18:46
  sit down and watch Saturday
• 18:47
  Night Live just to kind of
• 18:49
  unwind after our shifts on
• 18:50
  a Saturday night.
• 18:55
  it has been one of my favorite things, uh,
• 18:57
  in my life that I have watched in,
• 18:59
  in garnered.
• 19:00
  Uh,
• 19:00
  and I even told the story Sunday night
• 19:02
  as well that, um,
• 19:04
  I have dressed as three
• 19:06
  different characters from
• 19:08
  Saturday night live for
• 19:09
  Halloween over my adult life.
• 19:13
  And so I was so excited to
• 19:16
  see the show and yesterday, um,
• 19:22
  Yesterday I caught up on everything.
• 19:26
  I watched the Friday night concert.
• 19:28
  I watched the special they
• 19:30
  did on Sunday night.
• 19:32
  It was fabulous.
• 19:35
  I thought they did an amazing job.
• 19:39
  ACR says, did you watch the prison one?
• 19:42
  I forget the name of the bit.
• 19:43
  I did.
• 19:46
  And the reason, I watched everything.
• 19:48
  So the answer first is I've
• 19:50
  watched everything.
• 19:52
  But Eddie Murphy, to me,
• 19:53
  is the greatest cast member
• 19:55
  to ever come out of Saturday Night Live.
• 19:57
  He started there as a writer
• 19:59
  at the age of like seventeen.
• 20:01
  worked his way up to get on
• 20:03
  screen and then became like
• 20:06
  the eighties blockbuster
• 20:09
  icon throughout the
• 20:11
  nineteen eighties with
• 20:13
  Beverly Hills cop with
• 20:15
  coming to America trading
• 20:17
  places forty eight hours.
• 20:21
  He just is amazing.
• 20:23
  And, yes, the prison won ACR.
• 20:27
  He was in it, which is great.
• 20:30
  And what was great is it was
• 20:31
  so funny with him and Kenan
• 20:33
  trying to scare these guys straight.
• 20:36
  And then when Will Ferrell
• 20:37
  comes out and is such a
• 20:40
  complete divergent
• 20:42
  character from what is there,
• 20:44
  then the roof comes off the joint.
• 20:47
  And watching Eddie try to
• 20:48
  keep a straight face when
• 20:50
  Will Ferrell comes out was...
• 20:53
  was amazing.
• 20:53
  And Keenan never keeps a straight face.
• 20:55
  So that was awesome.
• 21:01
  I also, speaking of Eddie,
• 21:05
  when they did black
• 21:06
  jeopardy and he did his
• 21:09
  Tracy Morgan impersonation
• 21:11
  right next to Tracy Morgan, that's,
• 21:17
  that's the stuff, uh,
• 21:18
  of legends right there.
• 21:20
  Um,
• 21:22
  He was so good doing that
• 21:23
  Tracy Morgan impersonation,
• 21:26
  and it was so well done.
• 21:32
  What I truly loved about the
• 21:33
  show is that it didn't just
• 21:35
  rehash old bits.
• 21:38
  It took this amazing
• 21:40
  legendary cast and used
• 21:42
  them in newly created and
• 21:46
  newly updated shows.
• 21:51
  sketches right so it's not
• 21:53
  just the same old stuff we
• 21:55
  had a couple that came back
• 21:56
  a little bit here and there
• 21:58
  but for the most part they
• 21:59
  were all fresh and new um
• 22:04
  and so that's what I really
• 22:05
  loved um kate mckinnon did
• 22:07
  her abducted by aliens
• 22:09
  character which was brought
• 22:10
  back um but for the most part
• 22:17
  debbie downer was brought
• 22:18
  back um but that was at the
• 22:21
  concert so the concert
• 22:24
  brought more people back
• 22:25
  from what they actually did
• 22:27
  where the special actually
• 22:29
  was all fresh stuff um now
• 22:32
  black jeopardy has been
• 22:33
  done before but this was a
• 22:35
  whole new cast uh for that
• 22:37
  other than keenan as the
• 22:38
  host yeah I thought it was
• 22:41
  I thought it was an amazing job
• 22:43
  And Anna Gasteyer was
• 22:45
  probably the star of the show.
• 22:47
  She appeared in so many things,
• 22:50
  and she is amazing.
• 22:52
  Her Martha Stewart has
• 22:53
  always been one of my favorite characters,
• 22:56
  which she reprised at the
• 22:57
  concert to introduce Snoop Dogg,
• 22:59
  which was hilarious.
• 23:03
  Yeah, the concert was good, too.
• 23:05
  If you love music and all kinds of music,
• 23:09
  the concert on Friday night was amazing.
• 23:12
  share blew my mind um snoop
• 23:16
  dogg was amazing they did a
• 23:19
  uh nirvana reunion with
• 23:21
  post malone as the lead
• 23:22
  singer which was fabulous
• 23:26
  and most of this stuff you
• 23:27
  can actually find in clip
• 23:28
  version on youtube now
• 23:31
  But my wife and I sat down,
• 23:33
  really just binge through
• 23:34
  the whole Saturday Night
• 23:35
  Live weekend yesterday in
• 23:38
  our holiday day off because
• 23:41
  it was so cold here and snowy.
• 23:44
  So we just decided to kind of chill.
• 23:48
  But highly recommend it.
• 23:50
  It was so cool to see all the old stuff,
• 23:53
  the old faces, the nostalgia.
• 23:57
  Amazing.
• 23:57
  If you ever were a Saturday Night Live fan,
• 23:59
  you should check that stuff out.
• 24:04
  And the last thing that I'm
• 24:06
  going to talk about today,
• 24:08
  as we're kind of getting
• 24:08
  back into the groove here,
• 24:13
  Yeah, Jody asked,
• 24:14
  are they old skits or new ones?
• 24:15
  They were both,
• 24:16
  but I like that they kept
• 24:18
  it pretty fresh.
• 24:21
  It wasn't just a straight
• 24:22
  rehash of anything.
• 24:26
  They really wrote new stuff
• 24:29
  and let the cast be the
• 24:33
  stars rather than the bit.
• 24:38
  And that's kind of what ACR
• 24:40
  says here with both, so...
• 24:43
  uh last thing I'm gonna say
• 24:44
  is uh if you ever watch
• 24:47
  stuff where charlie and I
• 24:48
  are on here we talk about
• 24:50
  wrestling a little bit and
• 24:51
  I've wanted to get back
• 24:52
  into wrestling but I it's
• 24:55
  really hard every time I
• 24:56
  tune in I don't really know
• 24:57
  the new characters so it's
• 25:06
  hard for me to follow the
• 25:07
  storylines but I found this
• 25:11
  interesting show
• 25:13
  Hold on while I cough.
• 25:23
  I found this new show.
• 25:23
  I'm going to share my screen.
• 25:32
  And it's called WWE LFG.
• 25:37
  And LFG means Legends and
• 25:38
  Future... Something.
• 25:44
  But what it is,
• 25:48
  is it's basically a
• 25:49
  competition and it's on A&E.
• 25:52
  You can watch it online on their website.
• 25:56
  And...
• 25:58
  It's four WWE legends
• 26:01
  coaching and drafting like
• 26:03
  a team of two men and two
• 26:05
  women each to compete
• 26:07
  against each other to be
• 26:08
  crowned the next WWE LFG champion.
• 26:13
  And the winner, one woman,
• 26:14
  one man will get a contract
• 26:18
  for NXT with the WWE.
• 26:20
  So I'm gonna attempt to play a short clip.
• 26:24
  hopefully not get copyright
• 26:27
  dinged but um this is one
• 26:29
  of the contestants and he
• 26:31
  has to do an on-air promo
• 26:34
  and then he gets feedback
• 26:36
  from the legends on his
• 26:39
  promo so I may stop it
• 26:42
  periodically to hopefully
• 26:44
  not get the the ding as the
• 26:47
  undertaker this friday
• 26:48
  that's a big toe that's a
• 26:49
  big man but with that said
• 26:52
  There's new blood out in these waters.
• 26:57
  So yeah,
• 26:58
  you can tell that this guy is not
• 27:00
  seasoned in doing the promo.
• 27:04
  But he's making his attempt
• 27:05
  in front of these legends,
• 27:07
  including The Undertaker,
• 27:09
  Bubba Ray Dudley, Mickey,
• 27:15
  I can't remember last name,
• 27:16
  and then Booker T. So he finishes up.
• 27:19
  I'm a shark.
• 27:21
  And I'm ready to show you that.
• 27:24
  I don't feel like you believed it.
• 27:27
  You didn't believe it.
• 27:28
  You didn't believe that.
• 27:29
  Okay.
• 27:30
  So Undertaker and Booker T are like,
• 27:32
  you didn't even believe
• 27:33
  what you were saying.
• 27:37
  And then Bubba Ray comes in
• 27:38
  with the hammer.
• 27:39
  Believe your own bull.
• 27:43
  Otherwise, I won't.
• 27:45
  We won't.
• 27:46
  They won't.
• 27:47
  Yes, sir.
• 27:47
  Bubba.
• 27:50
  So it's interesting.
• 27:51
  They, they do in ring stuff.
• 27:53
  They do the promo stuff and
• 27:54
  they get feedback from these coaches.
• 27:57
  They haven't even drafted
• 27:58
  the players yet on, on episode one.
• 28:01
  And it's already been pretty
• 28:03
  full of drama.
• 28:04
  There's some interesting
• 28:05
  characters that are trying
• 28:07
  to get a contract.
• 28:08
  Um,
• 28:11
  And I really, really enjoyed it.
• 28:14
  It kind of takes me back
• 28:15
  with the legends to my days
• 28:19
  when I was younger and
• 28:20
  watched a lot of wrestling.
• 28:22
  But I also thought, like,
• 28:25
  what if CrossFit did this?
• 28:29
  What if CrossFit said,
• 28:33
  and let's take hypothetically...
• 28:38
  Underdogs Athletics says,
• 28:40
  I'm going to bring in ten
• 28:43
  potential CrossFit Games athletes,
• 28:46
  and we're going to have a
• 28:48
  show where I work them out,
• 28:51
  we do competitions,
• 28:52
  and then people get
• 28:53
  eliminated every week.
• 28:55
  And whoever wins that show
• 28:58
  gets a one-year contract
• 29:00
  with Underdogs to be
• 29:01
  coached by them through the
• 29:03
  upcoming CrossFit Games season.
• 29:08
  how much fun would that be I
• 29:15
  think it's it's those kinds
• 29:18
  of ideas that we need to
• 29:20
  come up with uh to bring
• 29:23
  people to crossfit that
• 29:25
  aren't normally here like I
• 29:28
  have not watched wrestling
• 29:30
  in ten years probably
• 29:33
  And I'm watching this show,
• 29:34
  and I'm loving the drama,
• 29:36
  and I'm loving the feedback.
• 29:38
  And they just gave me a
• 29:39
  taste of some legends to bring me back.
• 29:43
  If CrossFit did this,
• 29:45
  and you had Justin Kotler giving feedback,
• 29:48
  and then you bring in a
• 29:50
  Sarah Sigmundsdottir to help coach,
• 29:52
  or you bring in an Alex
• 29:53
  Kazan to give feedback,
• 29:55
  or they bring in Carrie
• 29:57
  Pierce back to give
• 29:59
  feedback and talk about different things.
• 30:03
  I would tune in for that
• 30:06
  every single week to see that drama.
• 30:11
  And whenever you're putting
• 30:12
  yourself on the line to get
• 30:13
  that like one year contract,
• 30:15
  I think that then emotions
• 30:18
  come rise to the surface.
• 30:20
  And then naturally you get that drama of,
• 30:23
  am I going to make it or am I not?
• 30:28
  Yeah, the WWE has this.
• 30:30
  You have to be an athlete
• 30:31
  and an actor at the same time.
• 30:33
  You do.
• 30:34
  And that lends itself to
• 30:37
  this type of a show.
• 30:39
  But the voice does it with singing, right?
• 30:45
  American Idol's done it for years.
• 30:48
  Hell, The Bachelor does it with love.
• 30:50
  Why couldn't you do it with
• 30:53
  a potential CrossFit Games athlete?
• 30:58
  And who knows,
• 30:59
  maybe it's a way to find
• 31:04
  hidden talent out there in
• 31:05
  the world that maybe
• 31:07
  they're really athletic or
• 31:09
  they're really good at something,
• 31:10
  but they just need refined
• 31:12
  in a couple areas.
• 31:14
  It's a way for a coach to
• 31:15
  kind of like dig through
• 31:16
  the rubble and kind of figure out what,
• 31:22
  is there someone out there
• 31:23
  that maybe you could coach like that?
• 31:29
  Andrew, I'm not saying CrossFit HQ.
• 31:36
  I'm saying like if I'm
• 31:38
  underdogs or if I'm TTT or
• 31:40
  if I'm HWPO or proven or do
• 31:45
  my own little thing,
• 31:46
  do my own show to recruit
• 31:48
  someone to be a member of
• 31:50
  my training camp.
• 31:56
  And you as a coach are
• 31:57
  picking the best athlete
• 31:59
  that you want to move on,
• 32:01
  that you want to coach for the next year,
• 32:03
  that you think has the
• 32:04
  potential to be successful.
• 32:06
  I'm not trying to cheapen anything.
• 32:08
  I'm trying to, like,
• 32:11
  bring eyeballs to the game
• 32:13
  in a format that people are
• 32:15
  used to watching these days.
• 32:18
  You know,
• 32:18
  we can't run out the same type of
• 32:21
  documentary that we have for years.
• 32:24
  We need to do something new.
• 32:28
  I think something like that
• 32:31
  would draw eyeballs to the
• 32:32
  sport at the very least.
• 32:34
  I think it's worth a shot.
• 32:39
  Um, and if done well, could, could lead to,
• 32:43
  even if you get a couple of seasons of it,
• 32:44
  a people watching it, it's,
• 32:46
  it's a way to discover new talent.
• 32:48
  It's a way to get the names
• 32:50
  of these lesser known athletes out there.
• 32:54
  Um,
• 32:58
  I don't know.
• 32:59
  I think I came up with a pretty cool idea.
• 33:02
  But even if it's not that,
• 33:04
  maybe something else.
• 33:05
  I just keep looking around
• 33:06
  and I see all these shows
• 33:08
  where we're like narrowing
• 33:09
  down this field to one
• 33:11
  person who gets all of this.
• 33:14
  Why can't we do that in the
• 33:15
  CrossFit space at not an HQ level,
• 33:18
  but at a training camp level?
• 33:20
  And you get to work with
• 33:21
  that training camp for the upcoming year.
• 33:25
  And let's see how successful you are.
• 33:32
  Just a thought.
• 33:34
  A couple pennies of my thought out there.
• 33:44
  Speaking of underdogs and Justin Cutler,
• 33:47
  he will be on our airwaves
• 33:49
  on Thursday at three p.m.
• 33:52
  Eastern time.
• 33:54
  And we'll ask him what
• 33:56
  happened with Ricky.
• 33:58
  We will see what's going on
• 33:59
  with Alex Kazan, Sarah Sigmund's daughter,
• 34:02
  and what his underdogs camp
• 34:06
  looks like at the current time.
• 34:09
  Because everything changes
• 34:10
  so much in the offseason.
• 34:12
  And then we're going to talk
• 34:13
  to him about...
• 34:14
  The multiple seasons and
• 34:16
  what's an approach a coach
• 34:17
  would take with all that now?
• 34:20
  How do you train an athlete
• 34:22
  for the WFP and the
• 34:26
  CrossFit game season if
• 34:28
  your athlete's doing both?
• 34:31
  And that's an if.
• 34:31
  I know Alex Kazan signed with the WFP.
• 34:36
  I don't know if she's doing
• 34:39
  the Open or not.
• 34:44
  And he's also had
• 34:45
  affiliations with the PFAA.
• 34:47
  I have some questions for him there.
• 34:50
  So I think it's going to be
• 34:53
  an interesting conversation.
