Clydesdale Media Roundtable - Is it a Mistake to Schedule the Games During the Olympics · Clydesdale Media Podcast

• 0:28
  What is going on, everybody?
• 0:30
  Welcome to the Clydesdale Media Roundtable,
• 0:32
  where we are coming to you
• 0:34
  half an hour early so Amy
• 0:36
  can watch women's gymnastics.
• 0:39
  It's kind of a big deal.
• 0:43
  Yeah.
• 0:44
  What slays me is I stream everything,
• 0:48
  so the concept of a start
• 0:50
  time doesn't matter to me anymore.
• 0:52
  Yeah.
• 0:53
  I just go back and
• 0:56
  yes yeah I just I here's
• 0:59
  what my worry is I don't
• 1:00
  want to like be scrolling
• 1:01
  and miss like like I want
• 1:03
  to watch it live happening
• 1:06
  you know yeah but in okay
• 1:09
  yeah but in this case we're
• 1:10
  not going to be like two
• 1:11
  hours later right right
• 1:13
  yeah right so so we're
• 1:16
  talking like 15 minutes
• 1:18
  which you probably wouldn't
• 1:20
  get a spoiler in that 15 minutes.
• 1:22
  I don't know.
• 1:23
  I,
• 1:23
  I tend to scroll and watch TV at the
• 1:25
  same time.
• 1:25
  It's not healthy.
• 1:26
  I don't agree with this habit,
• 1:28
  but it is something that's, you know,
• 1:29
  I stopped doing that.
• 1:30
  Like I need to be like two years ago.
• 1:34
  Yeah.
• 1:34
  And I'm really enjoying what
• 1:35
  I watch now much more.
• 1:37
  Yeah.
• 1:38
  It makes most sense.
• 1:39
  And I think it actually
• 1:40
  ruins people's attention spans overall,
• 1:42
  but I think my attention span is ruined,
• 1:44
  which is why I do it.
• 1:46
  So, so chicken and egg.
• 1:49
  Yeah.
• 1:51
  But can we review this?
• 1:54
  I'm out here walking around.
• 1:55
  Looks like I'm seeing in four, you know,
• 1:58
  like 4D.
• 1:58
  I'm seeing high def.
• 2:01
  High def.
• 2:02
  It's amazing.
• 2:05
  So last week you were all dilated,
• 2:07
  you and Snoop.
• 2:09
  Yep.
• 2:09
  All dilated up.
• 2:11
  And then two days later they
• 2:14
  threw you into surgery.
• 2:15
  I had surgery and then I
• 2:17
  came home like it was like
• 2:19
  my eyes were super irritable,
• 2:20
  like right afterwards.
• 2:21
  And you're supposed to nap.
• 2:23
  And I just.
• 2:24
  Wow, that's that's tough for Amy.
• 2:27
  Right.
• 2:28
  But I did have a hard time
• 2:30
  probably because I was just amped up,
• 2:31
  you know, about it.
• 2:33
  Basically, I wake up Friday morning.
• 2:38
  I can see.
• 2:40
  No glasses, no contacts.
• 2:42
  I went to my follow-up
• 2:43
  appointment yesterday.
• 2:44
  20-20 vision.
• 2:46
  Just like that.
• 2:48
  Went from thick,
• 2:49
  thick glasses to no glasses.
• 2:52
  Yep.
• 2:54
  It's amazing.
• 2:56
  My eyes still look a little
• 2:57
  bit funny because I'm still
• 2:59
  recovering and I can't wear
• 3:00
  eye makeup yet until this week, so
• 3:04
  You know,
• 3:04
  not that that's ever different
• 3:06
  for me on this podcast.
• 3:09
  I mean, you, you have dress up days,
• 3:12
  but they're not like every day.
• 3:14
  No.
• 3:15
  Yeah.
• 3:15
  I save them.
• 3:16
  And because also I don't
• 3:17
  want to spend a lot of time, um,
• 3:21
  making myself get ready like, like that,
• 3:23
  because, um,
• 3:24
  I feel like there's so much
• 3:25
  that there are things I can
• 3:26
  do my day versus doing all that.
• 3:28
  So yeah,
• 3:29
  like scroll and watch TV at the
• 3:31
  same time.
• 3:31
  I mean, that is part of it.
• 3:33
  Yeah.
• 3:34
  So I know we were going to show something,
• 3:36
  but before we get to that.
• 3:37
  Yeah.
• 3:37
  So, you know,
• 3:39
  they brought suits to Netflix
• 3:41
  and like the popularity
• 3:43
  just went like through the roof.
• 3:45
  Yes.
• 3:45
  Like it ran for nine seasons.
• 3:47
  Nobody cared about it on the
• 3:49
  USA network comes to
• 3:51
  Netflix and becomes like
• 3:52
  this highly rated show.
• 3:53
  Yep.
• 3:54
  Well,
• 3:54
  I had avoided it for a very long time.
• 3:57
  It's good.
• 3:58
  Julie and I watched the
• 3:59
  first two episodes last night.
• 4:01
  It's so good.
• 4:02
  I am so hooked.
• 4:04
  Yeah.
• 4:05
  I didn't know it was about like,
• 4:07
  like I would have never guessed.
• 4:11
  It's about this kid that
• 4:13
  just is like a super genius.
• 4:15
  Yeah.
• 4:15
  Who was a drug dealer and is
• 4:18
  given an opportunity like
• 4:19
  that totally changed my
• 4:21
  mind in the first five minutes.
• 4:23
  Totally.
• 4:25
  Yeah.
• 4:25
  That's good.
• 4:26
  And Megan Markle does awesome in it.
• 4:29
  Yeah.
• 4:30
  She's kind of like the
• 4:32
  ribbon that holds the whole
• 4:33
  show together.
• 4:35
  The whole show together.
• 4:36
  The whole show.
• 4:37
  Meghan Markle and the whole show.
• 4:40
  Don't clip that.
• 4:44
  But the dynamic between Harvey and Lewis,
• 4:48
  I think are their names.
• 4:49
  Yeah.
• 4:49
  Yeah.
• 4:50
  That dynamic is crazy.
• 4:52
  It is.
• 4:52
  It's crazy.
• 4:53
  And it ebbs and flows in so
• 4:54
  many different ways.
• 4:56
  as the seasons progress.
• 4:58
  We really,
• 4:58
  really enjoyed it and now we're hooked.
• 5:01
  So good for something to get
• 5:03
  us till the fall season.
• 5:06
  And I think that's going to be it.
• 5:09
  Yes.
• 5:09
  I just,
• 5:09
  I'm writing something down to bring up.
• 5:11
  Sorry.
• 5:12
  And I knew, I knew that you had done that,
• 5:14
  watched it and binged it
• 5:16
  when it first came to Netflix.
• 5:17
  So yeah.
• 5:18
  Yeah.
• 5:19
  I'm so glad.
• 5:20
  Hey, before you get to Corey's thing,
• 5:22
  how was your weekend?
• 5:23
  I mean, let's go to back to your Corey,
• 5:25
  but yeah,
• 5:27
  Uh,
• 5:27
  so went to Pennsylvania to celebrate my
• 5:29
  daughter's 23rd birthday.
• 5:31
  Yeah.
• 5:33
  Um, and it was nice.
• 5:33
  We just, we played board games.
• 5:35
  That's what my family does.
• 5:36
  Um, and I smoked ribs for her and, uh,
• 5:43
  and my mom made a,
• 5:44
  it's like a German cucumber potato dish,
• 5:51
  uh, and, and all that.
• 5:52
  And we, we had a really good time.
• 5:53
  Awesome.
• 5:55
  really good time.
• 5:56
  And then, uh, drove back Sunday.
• 5:58
  I've been on the road every
• 5:59
  weekend for three weeks.
• 6:02
  I am ready to do nothing
• 6:03
  this weekend before that.
• 6:04
  I head to Fort worth.
• 6:07
  Yeah.
• 6:09
  So I'm not like, gosh,
• 6:12
  I know I shouldn't say this
• 6:13
  on a CrossFit podcast,
• 6:14
  but like there's part of me
• 6:16
  that is super excited to
• 6:17
  see the new venue and all
• 6:18
  the stuff that's going on there.
• 6:19
  And another part, like, man,
• 6:21
  I probably could just cover
• 6:23
  this from home.
• 6:24
  Yeah.
• 6:24
  But you're gone.
• 6:28
  And part of that is,
• 6:29
  and I think what Corey's referencing is,
• 6:32
  I am really jazzed about
• 6:34
  the Masters CrossFit Games.
• 6:36
  Like, that's what I'm so into.
• 6:40
  And I've been trying to
• 6:42
  schedule as many of those
• 6:43
  athletes to highlight them
• 6:45
  before that happens.
• 6:48
  Interviews is like the
• 6:49
  hardest thing to do with what we do.
• 6:52
  Yeah.
• 6:53
  Because it takes...
• 6:55
  probably a minimum of five
• 6:57
  back and forth to get the time,
• 6:59
  get the time zone,
• 7:02
  all that kind of stuff.
• 7:03
  Right.
• 7:05
  And then to fit it into my work schedule,
• 7:07
  podcast schedule,
• 7:09
  and all the other interviews I've set up,
• 7:11
  it just takes a lot of time.
• 7:12
  But that's why I sent out a
• 7:14
  mass notice and said, hey,
• 7:16
  if you're interested,
• 7:17
  let's get you booked now.
• 7:19
  And so we have about 20
• 7:23
  shows between now and
• 7:26
  before I leave for the games.
• 7:27
  Yeah,
• 7:27
  it sounds real relaxing to get prepped.
• 7:30
  I don't doing the interviews
• 7:32
  is a piece of cake.
• 7:33
  Yeah.
• 7:34
  That is fun for me.
• 7:35
  Yeah.
• 7:36
  Scheduling is the hard part.
• 7:39
  Sure.
• 7:41
  And I think what Corey is
• 7:42
  asking about Brandon and
• 7:44
  without a last name,
• 7:45
  there are a lot of
• 7:45
  Brandon's in the CrossFit
• 7:46
  world is one that I have
• 7:49
  scheduled for next week or this week.
• 7:52
  And he had some questions
• 7:53
  about some stuff.
• 7:54
  So got it.
• 7:56
  Yeah.
• 7:58
  But before we dive into it,
• 7:59
  and please check those out.
• 8:01
  There's a lot of cool stories.
• 8:02
  If you haven't seen the first two,
• 8:04
  Ryan Retke, 45 to 49-year-old division,
• 8:08
  one fear factor in 2003,
• 8:13
  rebuilt diesel engines to
• 8:15
  run on vegetable oil just
• 8:18
  as something to do and see
• 8:19
  if he could do it.
• 8:23
  And, like,
• 8:24
  just really fascinating stories.
• 8:27
  And Allison Stahl competed
• 8:29
  at the semifinals last year
• 8:30
  pregnant and is now going to the games.
• 8:33
  She's eight months
• 8:34
  postpartum right now and is
• 8:38
  going to the games.
• 8:41
  So as we set the Masters
• 8:44
  aside for a tad bit,
• 8:46
  this was posted recently by Fluffy Duck.
• 8:49
  And I just am going to play
• 8:50
  this for your enjoyment and
• 8:52
  we'll react to that.
• 8:56
  So.
• 8:58
  If you've not seen this,
• 8:59
  Fluffy Duck just posted this.
• 9:02
  Turn on the volume.
• 9:04
  This guy.
• 9:05
  Bert Kreischer.
• 9:07
  Get in there.
• 9:08
  So there's like five dudes
• 9:09
  that are the goats of CrossFit.
• 9:12
  Yeah.
• 9:13
  Okay.
• 9:14
  It's Rich Froning.
• 9:16
  Yeah.
• 9:17
  Matt Groening or something.
• 9:19
  Matt Schaefer.
• 9:20
  Matt something.
• 9:21
  Yeah.
• 9:22
  And Josh Bridges.
• 9:23
  And Josh Bridges.
• 9:24
  Okay.
• 9:25
  Top five CrossFit Games athletes.
• 9:31
  Whoops.
• 9:32
  Nothing like great publicity
• 9:34
  for your athletes.
• 9:36
  Matt Groening,
• 9:38
  isn't he the guy who made The Simpsons?
• 9:41
  Oh, that sounds right.
• 9:42
  Yeah.
• 9:44
  Matt something could be anybody.
• 9:47
  Yeah.
• 9:48
  Matt Schaefer.
• 9:49
  There probably is a lot of
• 9:50
  Matt Schaefer's out there.
• 9:52
  Isn't that the brother of Paul Schaefer,
• 9:53
  the band leader for David Letterman?
• 10:00
  No, maybe.
• 10:00
  I don't know.
• 10:01
  I was just joking.
• 10:02
  Okay.
• 10:04
  I don't know.
• 10:04
  I was like, I don't know.
• 10:06
  That's crazy.
• 10:07
  And then Josh Bridges,
• 10:08
  which if you've not seen
• 10:09
  Bert Kreischer work out in
• 10:11
  Josh Bridges garage, pretty hilarious.
• 10:16
  Yeah.
• 10:16
  I do follow their show there.
• 10:17
  I think their show is pretty fun.
• 10:18
  I love Tom Segura.
• 10:20
  I've seen him live and,
• 10:22
  Um, would love to see Bert live sometime,
• 10:24
  but that's pretty funny
• 10:26
  because they used to be
• 10:26
  these and they talk about, they're like,
• 10:28
  we used to be these fat
• 10:29
  slobs and then they've,
• 10:30
  they've found fitness.
• 10:31
  And so now they joke and they're like, if,
• 10:34
  if you've never heard our podcast before,
• 10:35
  you'd think we're a fitness
• 10:36
  podcast now because that's
• 10:38
  all they talk about is their workouts.
• 10:41
  Have you watched the, uh,
• 10:42
  Josh Bridges video of Kreischer?
• 10:44
  Yes.
• 10:45
  Yeah.
• 10:46
  Let's say, yeah,
• 10:47
  they may be doing some fitness.
• 10:49
  Okay.
• 10:51
  Uh,
• 10:53
  Not at a level that we're
• 10:54
  used to watching.
• 10:55
  No, but they talk about it like they do.
• 10:58
  Yeah.
• 10:58
  Yeah.
• 10:59
  And I can't say anything about Tom Segura,
• 11:01
  but the only athletic thing
• 11:02
  I ever saw him do was tear
• 11:04
  like both ACLs trying to
• 11:09
  dunk a basketball.
• 11:10
  Yes.
• 11:10
  Yes.
• 11:13
  Which I think the video is
• 11:14
  out on social media
• 11:15
  somewhere and it's gross.
• 11:17
  It's very gross.
• 11:18
  I don't.
• 11:19
  Yep.
• 11:20
  Yep.
• 11:21
  But fun thing,
• 11:22
  I'm pretty sure Tom Segura's
• 11:24
  dad used to be an Olympic weightlifter,
• 11:28
  not like necessarily in the Olympics,
• 11:29
  but just as a hobby or
• 11:36
  strength and conditioning.
• 11:38
  Corey Leonard, I've seen Segura live too.
• 11:40
  Dude is hilarious.
• 11:42
  He really is.
• 11:44
  Um,
• 11:44
  here's something pop culture and
• 11:46
  related to CrossFit.
• 11:49
  Did you see here?
• 11:50
  Sound effect, by the way, we're upping,
• 11:52
  we're upping our, uh,
• 11:55
  you don't even have to do
• 11:55
  that on the computer.
• 11:56
  I'll just do it here.
• 11:59
  Um,
• 11:59
  did you see your boy Tyson from the
• 12:01
  bears talking about what workout he did?
• 12:03
  CrossFit that he was
• 12:05
  grinding his face off in the off season.
• 12:08
  Yes.
• 12:09
  That's the direct quote.
• 12:10
  It was grinding my face off
• 12:12
  this off season.
• 12:14
  And he did a mile of burpee broad jumps.
• 12:20
  And then he's told everybody the time.
• 12:24
  One hour and seven minutes.
• 12:26
  I think one hour, four minutes.
• 12:27
  Okay.
• 12:28
  Yeah.
• 12:28
  Yeah.
• 12:30
  Yeah.
• 12:30
  Like, you know,
• 12:31
  those reporters have no
• 12:32
  concept of even what that is.
• 12:36
  But like, do the math on that.
• 12:38
  And like, how many burpees is that?
• 12:40
  Is that like a thousand burpees?
• 12:41
  Yeah.
• 12:44
  I mean,
• 12:45
  let's say you can... It all depends
• 12:46
  on your broad jump, right?
• 12:48
  Huh?
• 12:49
  It all depends on your broad jump.
• 12:50
  Right, but I'm thinking, say,
• 12:52
  average five feet.
• 12:56
  Yeah.
• 12:57
  I mean, that's four times around a track.
• 13:02
  Five feet would be, what, 1.6 meters.
• 13:04
  A mile is... 1,600 meters.
• 13:05
  1,600 meters.
• 13:13
  So yeah, it'd be about a thousand.
• 13:18
  Okay.
• 13:19
  So then here, follow-up question.
• 13:21
  Would you rather do a
• 13:24
  thousand burpees or one
• 13:27
  mile burpee broad jump?
• 13:32
  Uh, Ooh.
• 13:41
  I get the difference, right?
• 13:42
  Like at least you're
• 13:43
  breaking up the burpees
• 13:44
  with the broad jump.
• 13:45
  Right.
• 13:47
  But a thousand burpees straight,
• 13:51
  they both would suck.
• 13:52
  There's no good option here.
• 13:54
  No.
• 13:55
  But at least like for me,
• 13:58
  the burpee broad jumps
• 13:59
  would be breaking up the burpees,
• 14:00
  which I would need.
• 14:01
  I would agree.
• 14:03
  I would probably pick the
• 14:05
  burpee broad jumps just for something.
• 14:06
  Even if it took longer, I don't care.
• 14:08
  Yeah.
• 14:10
  And even if I did a few more burpees,
• 14:12
  just because at least it broke it up.
• 14:14
  Yeah.
• 14:15
  And I think what I like
• 14:17
  about if you did it on a track,
• 14:19
  I think that would suck
• 14:20
  because of heat and all that.
• 14:21
  But at least you could have
• 14:23
  a visual of your progress.
• 14:27
  You know what I mean?
• 14:28
  Yeah.
• 14:29
  Versus, okay,
• 14:29
  you could maybe have some poker.
• 14:31
  Or a picture of your lack of progress.
• 14:33
  Right.
• 14:34
  Exactly.
• 14:36
  Lynn says that you couldn't
• 14:37
  pay me enough to do one
• 14:38
  mile of burpee broad jumps.
• 14:41
  Corey is going 1,000 burpees, no question.
• 14:46
  Yeah.
• 14:48
  I mean, I don't know.
• 14:50
  1,000 box step-up seems way
• 14:54
  easier than 1,000 burpees.
• 14:57
  Did you see the video of
• 14:58
  Trista Smith demoing Chad?
• 15:01
  No.
• 15:02
  I didn't.
• 15:05
  Let me.
• 15:07
  Did you have any,
• 15:07
  did you talk about it on Sunday,
• 15:09
  what you think the weights
• 15:10
  are for the clean ladder?
• 15:13
  We did not.
• 15:14
  Oh, do you have any thoughts?
• 15:16
  I think they did.
• 15:16
  They did.
• 15:17
  I just,
• 15:18
  I was looking for something at the time.
• 15:21
  Okay.
• 15:23
  Because when they get into that detail,
• 15:25
  I don't really get the concept of it all.
• 15:28
  Yeah.
• 15:28
  Yeah.
• 15:31
  We just want to watch the fitness,
• 15:33
  talk about it.
• 15:35
  Speaking of watching fitness
• 15:36
  while you're pulling this thing up,
• 15:37
  I think I've been watching
• 15:40
  a lot of the Olympics and
• 15:42
  just like everybody else,
• 15:43
  when you watch it, you're like,
• 15:44
  I could totally do that.
• 15:47
  Oh yeah.
• 15:51
  Okay.
• 15:52
  There she goes.
• 15:55
  so what we did talk about on
• 15:57
  sunday night is it appears
• 15:59
  that there is a mark on top
• 16:01
  of the box that you must
• 16:03
  touch both feet on each
• 16:05
  side of a line yeah it
• 16:06
  looks like a chalk mark up
• 16:08
  there that you have to be
• 16:11
  and she is the twist of
• 16:13
  chad is that you have to
• 16:15
  twist on the top of the box
• 16:20
  and come down backwards
• 16:24
  Well,
• 16:24
  that's how you're going to get those
• 16:25
  calves blown up for sure.
• 16:29
  So,
• 16:30
  but the fact that it's an over and you
• 16:32
  have to tap takes out the
• 16:34
  judging of the hip extension.
• 16:36
  Oh, yeah.
• 16:37
  Good call, Lynn.
• 16:38
  That box looks higher.
• 16:41
  Trista is not super tall, Lynn.
• 16:44
  Yeah, but that looks at least a 24.
• 16:48
  They've said it's 20 inches.
• 16:50
  Oh, okay.
• 16:52
  When they made the announcement.
• 16:53
  You're right.
• 16:55
  But I just, and maybe it's this angle too.
• 16:58
  It looks like it's.
• 17:00
  Yeah.
• 17:00
  Dave said on one of his
• 17:02
  things that he on purposely
• 17:05
  did not show the box.
• 17:07
  So there has to be markings.
• 17:11
  I'm guessing at the top of the box.
• 17:13
  Yeah.
• 17:17
  But Trista is not tall.
• 17:20
  Yeah.
• 17:22
  So back to the Olympics.
• 17:23
  I know you even have gone to the trials.
• 17:27
  CrossFit.
• 17:28
  I know, I know.
• 17:29
  But pretty soon CrossFit's going to,
• 17:32
  you know, no, just kidding.
• 17:34
  Parts of it are already there.
• 17:38
  So back to that.
• 17:40
  I know you've gone, you know,
• 17:41
  like qualified for the
• 17:43
  swimming for the Olympic trials.
• 17:45
  But like, do you not watch it and be like,
• 17:48
  oh, like,
• 17:49
  I just I feel like I have the
• 17:50
  urge to go try that or to go do.
• 17:53
  I feel like I could do that
• 17:54
  on the parallel bars.
• 17:55
  There is no freaking way.
• 17:56
  But I just I remember as a kid, too,
• 17:58
  I'd be like,
• 17:59
  I'm going to get some pillows
• 18:00
  out and start just flipping
• 18:01
  around like these gymnasts.
• 18:04
  So, one,
• 18:05
  thank you very much for elevating
• 18:06
  me to an Olympic trial qualifier.
• 18:09
  Oh, sorry.
• 18:09
  That never happened.
• 18:11
  Okay.
• 18:12
  I did qualify for nationals one year.
• 18:15
  National.
• 18:16
  Okay, sorry.
• 18:17
  But it was not an Olympic trial.
• 18:19
  Okay.
• 18:23
  But I will say, when I was a kid, sure,
• 18:26
  I tried everything.
• 18:27
  Yeah.
• 18:27
  Yeah.
• 18:28
  And we had like bow and
• 18:30
  arrows to try archery and
• 18:31
  different stuff like that.
• 18:33
  And we would go do all that.
• 18:36
  But what this year has done
• 18:38
  for me after talking to
• 18:39
  Caitlin last Friday and
• 18:41
  watching the Olympics is
• 18:43
  I've actually researched
• 18:44
  I'm going to join a gym with a pool.
• 18:47
  I'm going to change my
• 18:49
  training up a little bit
• 18:51
  going into the fall to see
• 18:53
  if I can keep my body healthier.
• 18:54
  I'm going to swim two days a week,
• 18:57
  CrossFit three days a week.
• 18:59
  I think that's great.
• 19:02
  To see if I can keep the
• 19:03
  body a little more healthy
• 19:05
  going in and see how that
• 19:06
  works out for a couple months.
• 19:08
  So, so yeah.
• 19:16
  I love that.
• 19:17
  We'll see.
• 19:17
  I found like an affordable
• 19:19
  gym on Players Parkway.
• 19:21
  Yeah.
• 19:22
  With a lap pool.
• 19:23
  Yeah.
• 19:24
  Perfect.
• 19:25
  What's their hours?
• 19:26
  Like any time?
• 19:27
  Like 5 a.m.
• 19:28
  to 10 p.m.
• 19:29
  Perfect.
• 19:30
  Yeah.
• 19:34
  So, yeah.
• 19:35
  I think that'll be good for me.
• 19:37
  And I've got the itch
• 19:38
  because of just talking swimming so much.
• 19:40
  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 19:43
  The key is not to overdo it
• 19:44
  the first couple of times
• 19:45
  because there's going to be
• 19:47
  a lot of muscles that have
• 19:48
  not been used in a very long time.
• 19:50
  You and Charlie both.
• 19:53
  Yeah.
• 19:54
  Yeah.
• 19:55
  What's Charlie doing?
• 19:56
  Just day one of something?
• 19:58
  Yeah.
• 19:58
  Well, you know,
• 19:59
  he went out of town for his birthday.
• 20:01
  Well, it wasn't for his birthday.
• 20:03
  It was over his birthday.
• 20:05
  And he had a wedding to go to.
• 20:07
  And he's like, when I get back.
• 20:09
  serious and guess what he
• 20:12
  did he come to my 615 class
• 20:14
  today that I coached no
• 20:19
  something to do with his
• 20:20
  dog I don't know how that
• 20:22
  affects his fitness well I
• 20:27
  was sick I have a sick wife
• 20:28
  this week oh you do yeah we
• 20:33
  got back from Pennsylvania
• 20:34
  and she started throwing up she started
• 20:39
  And I guess there's a thing
• 20:41
  going around like this, very flu-like.
• 20:45
  But I'm the only one that didn't catch it.
• 20:48
  Okay, that's good.
• 20:53
  Corey says,
• 20:54
  serious for Charlie or actually serious?
• 20:56
  I only know one kind of
• 20:57
  serious for Charlie,
• 20:58
  and it's serious for Charlie.
• 21:01
  Yeah, I don't know actual serious.
• 21:03
  Yeah,
• 21:03
  I wish he was creeping on the notes
• 21:05
  here so he was seeing me
• 21:06
  talk all about this because
• 21:08
  I'm not afraid to.
• 21:11
  Yeah.
• 21:13
  I also saw in that Trista Smith video,
• 21:15
  did you see Pukie hanging
• 21:17
  from the ceiling?
• 21:18
  I was totally noticing Pukie
• 21:19
  in the background.
• 21:21
  So Dave said that he needs
• 21:23
  to take that down because
• 21:25
  he's afraid at some point
• 21:26
  that's going to fall.
• 21:28
  Oh, okay.
• 21:28
  And hurt somebody.
• 21:30
  For sure.
• 21:30
  We don't want that to happen.
• 21:32
  But I'm glad you brought
• 21:34
  that up because it reminded
• 21:35
  me of something we were
• 21:36
  texting about that has been
• 21:37
  bothering me all weekend.
• 21:42
  Okay.
• 21:43
  Remember I said I rewatched.
• 21:48
  Oh, so sorry, Wad Zombie.
• 21:53
  I rewatched the Every Second Counts.
• 21:57
  Yeah.
• 21:58
  And I have some beef,
• 22:00
  a lot of beef about it.
• 22:00
  15 years later, she's coming in hot.
• 22:07
  Well, I had seen it, but then, you know,
• 22:09
  kind of like,
• 22:10
  I don't know what I was doing.
• 22:11
  I think it was just being
• 22:13
  excited that Nate took his
• 22:14
  level one and like,
• 22:15
  just kind of talking about
• 22:16
  like old school CrossFit stuff.
• 22:18
  And so I was telling him about it.
• 22:20
  So I put it on and then we
• 22:22
  start watching it and I'm like, uh,
• 22:26
  literally none of the
• 22:27
  females are featured.
• 22:29
  None.
• 22:31
  I got a bone to pick with that.
• 22:32
  I want to know WTF, Siobhan.
• 22:34
  Well,
• 22:37
  be fair savan was not the
• 22:39
  only person doing that one
• 22:40
  that was two people okay
• 22:44
  well I still have a problem
• 22:45
  with it um but yes it's a
• 22:51
  hot take yep hot take on a
• 22:54
  15 year old movie um can
• 22:58
  you tell me who won the
• 22:59
  2009 crossfit games
• 23:02
  2008 CrossFit Games.
• 23:04
  Yes, it was Jason Kalipa,
• 23:05
  which they never featured
• 23:06
  on until the very end.
• 23:09
  Oh, yes, Katie.
• 23:11
  Okay.
• 23:11
  That's why I wanted to watch it.
• 23:15
  To be like, hey, look,
• 23:16
  it's the owner of Rogue
• 23:19
  just out there winning the
• 23:20
  CrossFit Games.
• 23:22
  Is this a riff?
• 23:23
  Kind of, Jeff.
• 23:24
  It is.
• 23:26
  Yeah.
• 23:27
  Amy's got a riff.
• 23:29
  We did talk about this Sunday a little bit,
• 23:33
  and it goes with what you're saying.
• 23:35
  Miller did his top 10 based
• 23:38
  on social media following.
• 23:40
  He does it every year,
• 23:41
  and that is his picks for the games.
• 23:44
  Okay.
• 23:45
  On social media following.
• 23:46
  So whoever has the highest followers,
• 23:48
  that's his winners of the games.
• 23:49
  Correct.
• 23:50
  Okay.
• 23:52
  So when he was done with it,
• 23:54
  he just kind of like an off comment said,
• 23:59
  women the women's followers
• 24:01
  are way more than the men's
• 24:02
  followers should women get
• 24:05
  paid more because they
• 24:08
  bring more to the table
• 24:09
  than the men do which has
• 24:11
  been the argument in the
• 24:13
  reverse in like the nba um
• 24:17
  other sports like soccer
• 24:18
  yes because women's yeah
• 24:23
  doesn't bring in money yeah
• 24:26
  well wasn't but now still
• 24:28
  very little compared to
• 24:29
  right so but it all came
• 24:33
  down to you'd have to see
• 24:35
  the viewers of like the
• 24:37
  streams um the attendance
• 24:39
  at different events but of
• 24:43
  the what 18 crossfit games we've had
• 24:49
  i think it was 12 of the 12
• 24:53
  times the men finished the
• 24:55
  crossfit games for the
• 24:58
  women finished and two they
• 25:00
  finished together so like
• 25:03
  at atlanta at the 2020
• 25:05
  games like they they both
• 25:08
  did it at the same time
• 25:09
  yeah but I would be curious it
• 25:13
  I, I would think, I don't know,
• 25:16
  cause I haven't,
• 25:16
  I don't have the data on it.
• 25:19
  Maybe Holly could pull up
• 25:20
  some data for us on.
• 25:21
  Um,
• 25:22
  I wonder if more women are on social
• 25:26
  media, uh, followers,
• 25:27
  like if more women follow
• 25:29
  on social media than men do.
• 25:32
  Well, I don't,
• 25:33
  I don't know if we would get
• 25:34
  that breakdown.
• 25:35
  We would,
• 25:36
  I'm just throwing that out there to,
• 25:37
  to say maybe there are more
• 25:40
  women athletes followed
• 25:41
  because there are more.
• 25:44
  My guests are not followed by women.
• 25:48
  I think both.
• 25:50
  Well,
• 25:50
  I think there's both but I bet you
• 25:53
  they have their fair share
• 25:53
  of male followers as well.
• 25:56
  Speaking of the funniest
• 25:57
  thing ever is you know how
• 25:58
  like if you are have a
• 25:59
  mutual friend with somebody
• 26:01
  and then there's a post it
• 26:02
  will show you so and so liked this post.
• 26:07
  So let's say,
• 26:08
  let's say I go and look at
• 26:09
  Emily Rolf and she posted something on,
• 26:11
  on Instagram and you liked it.
• 26:13
  I can see because I'm
• 26:14
  friends with you will say
• 26:15
  Clydesdale media liked this.
• 26:16
  Okay.
• 26:18
  So this is what cracks me up.
• 26:19
  Every time Danny Spiegel
• 26:20
  posts something and then I
• 26:21
  go to coach the class the
• 26:22
  next day at the gym, I can say, oh,
• 26:24
  I saw all of you guys liked that,
• 26:26
  that post that Danny
• 26:27
  Spiegel had the other day.
• 26:31
  Um,
• 26:33
  What I will tell you,
• 26:33
  just from our perspective,
• 26:36
  when I interview a female athlete,
• 26:38
  it gets more views than if
• 26:39
  I interview a male athlete.
• 26:45
  So, Corey's saying,
• 26:47
  check out the new story from Spin.
• 26:48
  Let me close.
• 26:54
  Dave down.
• 27:09
  You're talking about the event guide?
• 27:17
  Oh, backfill spots for the masters.
• 27:21
  That is not in the stories.
• 27:26
  Oh, there we go.
• 27:33
  Let's see it.
• 27:34
  It's actually a post, not a story.
• 27:38
  Controversy amidst backfill
• 27:39
  process in 35-39 division
• 27:42
  of the Masters CrossFit Games.
• 27:45
  Jasmine Sheehan originally
• 27:47
  declined her invite to
• 27:48
  compete at the Masters
• 27:49
  CrossFit Games to focus on
• 27:51
  going to the CrossFit Games on a team.
• 27:53
  But after her team was
• 27:54
  disqualified following
• 27:55
  Tyler Lee's failed drug test,
• 27:57
  she asked CrossFit if a
• 27:59
  spot was still available.
• 28:00
  That's where things get interesting.
• 28:02
  Head to thebarbellspin.com
• 28:05
  for the full story and come
• 28:06
  back to share how you would
• 28:08
  handle this situation if
• 28:10
  you were CrossFit.
• 28:15
  So interesting.
• 28:18
  Very.
• 28:21
  I wonder what went down there.
• 28:24
  So let's go to the spin.
• 28:28
  And you can't see it.
• 28:29
  I got to stop and reshare.
• 28:39
  Here we go.
• 28:48
  Two women declined their invite,
• 28:50
  Chyna Cho and Jasmine Sheehan.
• 28:52
  Okay.
• 28:57
  No more than three athletes
• 28:59
  outside of the qualifying
• 29:00
  position in any division
• 29:01
  will be eligible for a
• 29:02
  backfill position due to
• 29:04
  athletes declining.
• 29:08
  Thus, Allison Stahl tied for 40th.
• 29:10
  Haley Murillo, 42nd,
• 29:12
  received a backfill in
• 29:13
  which both accepted.
• 29:15
  But here's where it gets interesting.
• 29:17
  Yeah.
• 29:18
  But they're in the 40 to
• 29:20
  44-year-old division, so not this one.
• 29:24
  On June 30th,
• 29:25
  Chantel Bouchard received an
• 29:27
  email from Becky Harsh,
• 29:28
  CrossFit Athlete Communications Banner,
• 29:30
  stating that Chantel would
• 29:32
  be the next athlete to get
• 29:33
  a backfill spot should
• 29:35
  another athlete out of the competition.
• 29:37
  Harsh then added that the
• 29:39
  goal is to have a full
• 29:40
  roster and will backfill
• 29:42
  any open spots up to two
• 29:44
  weeks prior to the competition.
• 29:47
  Then yesterday,
• 29:48
  Jamie Hygie had declined
• 29:49
  her invite due to an injury,
• 29:51
  so you would expect
• 29:52
  Bouchard to receive the
• 29:53
  backfill invite per the
• 29:55
  email she received from
• 29:56
  CrossFit a month earlier.
• 29:57
  However, you would be wrong.
• 29:59
  Instead, the backfill went to Sheehan,
• 30:01
  despite her already declining her invite.
• 30:04
  Yeah, I think that's BS.
• 30:07
  Yep.
• 30:08
  I think that's big-time BS.
• 30:09
  That really sucks for the other person.
• 30:13
  I agree.
• 30:15
  I can't believe they did that.
• 30:16
  And yet then they wouldn't
• 30:18
  bring back Kelly Baker last year.
• 30:20
  Like after, I mean,
• 30:21
  I know they brought her
• 30:22
  back for that one event,
• 30:23
  but they didn't bring her
• 30:24
  back for the other event.
• 30:27
  Yeah.
• 30:28
  Yeah.
• 30:29
  I don't, Denise Moore says,
• 30:30
  I don't think that's ever happened.
• 30:33
  Um, yeah, that's pretty crappy.
• 30:40
  jeff jay birch I'm sorry but
• 30:42
  if she turned down the
• 30:43
  invite to go with the team
• 30:44
  and then the team was
• 30:45
  disqualified too bad so sad
• 30:48
  and why was the team
• 30:49
  disqualified I'd be curious
• 30:51
  they were disqualified
• 30:52
  because one of their
• 30:52
  athletes tested positive
• 30:55
  for popping those gains yeah
• 30:59
  Which I had a very
• 31:00
  interesting discussion with
• 31:03
  Chloe Gavin-David,
• 31:05
  who has been a perennial team athlete,
• 31:07
  made it individually this year.
• 31:09
  But if you didn't see Sasha
• 31:12
  Nieves' reaction to her
• 31:14
  teammate popping positive,
• 31:17
  that she blew her up on social media,
• 31:20
  saying that she fought
• 31:21
  through injury to get to this point,
• 31:23
  and then to have it ripped
• 31:25
  away by someone being so
• 31:29
  uh insensitive and taking
• 31:31
  substances like as it how
• 31:35
  do you trust the other
• 31:36
  three like your whole
• 31:38
  season is based on their
• 31:40
  their actions as well as
• 31:41
  yours yeah and not just
• 31:45
  them but like other others
• 31:46
  around them the circle they
• 31:48
  keep you know their coaches
• 31:49
  and all that yeah that's a
• 31:50
  lot to rely on it's basically like
• 31:55
  One,
• 31:55
  every team she's been on has had to
• 31:57
  sit down at the beginning
• 31:58
  of the year like,
• 31:59
  we are not doing any of this stuff.
• 32:03
  And if you're not clean now,
• 32:04
  you better be clean.
• 32:06
  Whatever.
• 32:08
  But she's like,
• 32:08
  I would not go on a team
• 32:10
  with somebody I did not know very,
• 32:15
  very well.
• 32:16
  Yes.
• 32:18
  Ugh.
• 32:21
  Yeah.
• 32:22
  If you have not, it's in Spanish.
• 32:24
  So you have to hit the
• 32:26
  translate button on Instagram.
• 32:28
  What's the last name?
• 32:29
  Sasha Nieves.
• 32:30
  Okay.
• 32:31
  An individual athlete in the past.
• 32:33
  Yeah.
• 32:33
  I just couldn't, it went out for a second.
• 32:37
  But you have to hit the
• 32:38
  translate button and she
• 32:41
  does not mince words about how bad.
• 32:44
  Good.
• 32:45
  Her and a teammate had to fight through.
• 32:47
  There was a point where
• 32:48
  Sasha was in a sling during
• 32:50
  the season and fought
• 32:52
  through to make it to the
• 32:54
  games and put her body at
• 32:58
  risk to get the team there
• 33:00
  and then to have it ripped
• 33:01
  away because of a drug suspension.
• 33:05
  Shady.
• 33:06
  Shady aftermath.
• 33:09
  So, yeah.
• 33:10
  It's an interesting read for sure.
• 33:12
  Yeah.
• 33:14
  So I know that the women's gym,
• 33:19
  Simone Biles is taking the
• 33:20
  floor probably as we speak.
• 33:21
  Yeah.
• 33:22
  Yeah.
• 33:23
  Have you paused your, your, no,
• 33:25
  I didn't cause I'm going to
• 33:26
  go run to my iPad right after this.
• 33:28
  Yeah.
• 33:30
  Do you stream or do you have cable stream?
• 33:34
  Oh,
• 33:34
  can't you just rewind it on the stream?
• 33:36
  Yeah.
• 33:36
  I mean, maybe, I don't know.
• 33:40
  Yeah.
• 33:41
  Okay.
• 33:44
  Cucumbers.
• 33:48
  Corey eats a lot of cucumbers, people.
• 33:50
  Must be the secret to his success.
• 33:53
  There's not much nutritional value to him.
• 33:54
  Do you have cable still?
• 34:01
  Not me.
• 34:01
  I stream.
• 34:04
  Let's finish with this.
• 34:05
  I saw a social media post
• 34:07
  where a guy was saying,
• 34:09
  Whoever thought streaming was a good idea.
• 34:11
  I have to Google everything
• 34:12
  to find out what channel it's on.
• 34:14
  Then I get there and I have
• 34:15
  to pay an extra three 99 to
• 34:17
  rent it off a prime.
• 34:18
  Yeah.
• 34:20
  Blah, blah, blah.
• 34:21
  And then my buddy said, well,
• 34:22
  why don't they just get one
• 34:24
  streaming service and put
• 34:25
  them all together?
• 34:25
  And he goes, we had,
• 34:26
  it was called capable.
• 34:28
  I totally agree.
• 34:33
  Corey,
• 34:33
  you need to get some more dark green
• 34:35
  veggies in there.
• 34:35
  I'm talking broccoli.
• 34:37
  I'm talking spinach, kale,
• 34:40
  Brussels sprouts, green beans, asparagus.
• 34:42
  You need some more dark green veggies.
• 34:44
  I have a full-on addiction
• 34:46
  to tomatoes right now.
• 34:48
  Well, homegrown tomatoes is a real thing.
• 34:51
  Also, not a vegetable.
• 34:55
  It's a fruit.
• 34:56
  Come on.
• 34:57
  It's a fruit.
• 34:58
  There are seeds inside.
• 35:03
  Jay Burch is in a hotel in
• 35:04
  Austin watching on cable
• 35:06
  and watching us find folks on his phone.
• 35:09
  That's so nice.
• 35:10
  Yeah.
• 35:11
  I'm probably better on the small screen,
• 35:13
  Jay Burch.
• 35:15
  My eye probably looks better
• 35:16
  and not as scary.
• 35:19
  Yeah.
• 35:19
  It looks like you actually
• 35:20
  sit back and not like get
• 35:22
  right up to the camera.
• 35:23
  Look at that.
• 35:24
  You see it?
• 35:25
  I can see.
• 35:26
  It looks like there's a line
• 35:27
  from the surgery.
• 35:28
  Yeah, there is.
• 35:31
  It'll go away.
• 35:32
  But it's there.
• 35:33
  It's amazing how technology has changed.
• 35:36
  I know.
• 35:38
  So with that,
• 35:39
  we're going to let you guys go.
• 35:41
  Watch the female gymnast hit the floor.
• 35:45
  With that, thanks for being here,
• 35:46
  everybody.
• 35:47

• 35:50

• 35:51
