The Clydesdale Media Roundtable - Final World on Wodapalooza 2025 · Clydesdale Media Podcast

0:26
What is going on, everybody?
0:28
Welcome to the Clydesdale Media Roundtable,
0:31
where apparently you have
0:32
no idea when we're going to appear.
0:35
It has been one of those
0:36
weeks at work for me.
0:38
I know you guys have had those too,
0:40
where you're on a project
0:42
and like every two minutes
0:44
and another emergency
0:45
meeting is being held.
0:49
I'm ready for the weekend so
0:51
bad right now.
0:51
I'm...
0:55
I don't know if I'm looking
0:56
forward to the weekend or not.
1:00
What's up?
1:05
Audio is messed up.
1:06
Did you hear me?
1:07
Yeah.
1:08
Oh, I said, I said,
1:09
I'm not sure if I'm looking
1:10
forward to the weekend or not,
1:11
because it's my last class
1:13
tomorrow at the gym.
1:14
Oh, yeah, I came fast.
1:17
I know.
1:19
It's sad.
1:21
Um, and things are being sold
1:25
And wait, there's such a delay.
1:30
Something's wrong with my computer.
1:33
I'm going to go get, um,
1:34
headphones or something.
1:37
Okay.
1:41
So what's going on, Corey?
1:41
What's going on, Chris?
1:43
I'm glad you guys could be here today.
1:46
Um,
1:49
We don't have a big agenda for today.
1:52
We're just here to shoot the shit today.
1:53
So if you guys have questions for us,
1:56
shoot them in the chat.
1:58
We'll answer whatever we can.
2:04
As cat is trying to get headphones in.
2:07
No, I can hear you.
2:08
You're just, you're glitching.
2:09
I don't know if it's me or you.
2:12
So everything's reading fine on my end.
2:15
Okay.
2:15
And I can hear you fine.
2:16
You're it's just your visuals off.
2:19
Corey, whose visual's messed up?
2:22
Is it me or is it Scott?
2:23
I need to know.
2:24
I don't know.
2:24
I don't know.
2:35
All right, we'll keep talking.
2:37
We're not glitching or anything.
2:39
Movement's good.
2:40
Oh, it's me, yeah.
2:41
I don't know what's going on.
2:43
It's my internet.
2:51
Kat, show me strong.
2:54
So you're not glitching at all to me.
2:57
So it must be something on your end.
3:02
Except for now, maybe she's frozen.
3:09
Okay.
3:11
I'm back.
3:12
I don't know if this is any better.
3:17
You weren't ever bad to me,
3:18
so we would need...
3:21
Corey and Andrew said you
3:23
were frozen at times,
3:25
but maybe it's fixed now.
3:26
Who knows?
3:27
I don't know.
3:28
I just went off my Wi-Fi and
3:30
onto my iPhone.
3:32
But what Corey's referring
3:34
to is we're... Hello?
3:44
What?
3:44
He said you're unfrozen now.
3:45
I don't know.
3:51
Okay.
3:51
I'm afraid to talk.
3:55
No, you go.
3:58
Um,
3:59
we were watching Alexis Raptus and her
4:02
interview with seven today.
4:03
And she was talking about
4:04
how she hangs out with Adam
4:05
and stays at his house and
4:06
he has two kids and she's
4:07
like part of the family.
4:08
And I mentioned that I was
4:09
getting Katrin and Ben vibes.
4:12
And then I was hoping that
4:13
that was not the case.
4:15
And so that's where Corey's
4:16
reference to show me strong,
4:18
show me smart comes into play.
4:20
Um,
4:22
I don't know what my creepy
4:24
vibes kicked in I have not
4:31
seen anything visually as
4:35
creepy vibey as Ben and
4:36
Katrin when I see the two
4:38
of them together yeah well
4:40
that's good so let's let's
4:46
hope that that's the truth
4:48
yes that would be nice
4:53
But then again,
4:54
Ben shoved ice down Cole's
4:56
pants at the end of a race.
4:59
That was the weirdest thing ever.
5:04
What was that?
5:06
You and I,
5:07
it was the end of the West Coast Classic.
5:09
I know.
5:09
It was right in front of our faces.
5:11
Right.
5:12
And Ben reached down Cole's
5:14
pants with ice to cool him off.
5:18
After that ruck run in the heat.
5:22
Oh, good Lord.
5:24
I know.
5:25
I've never seen anything
5:26
like that by a coach.
5:30
And I remember he had his
5:31
daughter with him and he
5:32
was like screaming at his
5:34
daughter to go get his, you know,
5:35
his bag or something like, you know,
5:37
and everyone was rushing around frantic.
5:39
And then remember one time
5:40
one of his athletes was
5:41
being interviewed like in a
5:42
post event interview and he
5:43
was like tossing them a
5:45
protein shake or something like,
5:47
like they couldn't wait the
5:49
three minutes it was going
5:50
to take for the interview
5:51
to like get nutrients in
5:52
their bodies for the next event.
5:54
He was so dramatic.
5:55
It was so weird.
5:56
Just to set this up,
5:57
like when an athlete finishes,
6:00
they're usually there.
6:01
They usually talk to the
6:02
coach over the barricade.
6:05
And then once they kind of
6:07
get through that and then
6:09
out to the regular area,
6:11
they may huddle up for
6:12
something or do whatever.
6:14
This was Ben going over top
6:16
the barricade to shove ice
6:19
down Cole Sager's pants.
6:21
Yeah.
6:21
He actually reached underneath.
6:22
There was, you know, it was, uh,
6:24
the barricade was that he
6:24
reached underneath and was yeah.
6:26
Administering ice to his crotch,
6:31
like right in front of me.
6:32
And I've never,
6:36
ever seen that by any other coach.
6:38
No.
6:40
Well, that's like the weird, um, was it,
6:42
I don't know if it was a
6:42
noble commercial or it was
6:44
some kind of CF and E
6:45
commercial where they were catcher and,
6:47
and Brooke and all these
6:48
people were doing like this rowing event.
6:52
And Katrin comes off the
6:53
rower and she's like
6:53
hyperventilating and he
6:55
goes over and like grabs
6:55
her sports bra and starts
6:57
pulling it up and down on
6:59
her chest like she couldn't
7:00
breathe or something.
7:00
And I was like, ew, that is so weird.
7:06
Yes, that is what she said, Heidi.
7:08
He was administering ice to his crotch.
7:11
Yep.
7:14
Holly.
7:18
It was one of the weirdest moments ever.
7:20
that I have covered in the CrossFit space.
7:23
And,
7:24
and I had already witnessed weirdness
7:27
and had told you guys about
7:28
some stuff that I thought was odd.
7:30
And anyway,
7:31
so we were already going into
7:33
it with that lens, but yeah,
7:34
that was extra creepy.
7:36
So bizarre.
7:38
So I've heard this word on
7:40
the street like years ago.
7:42
Are we back on this?
7:44
Has everything come around full circle?
7:53
Corey Scott,
7:54
I don't give a damn how bad I
7:55
seem after an event,
7:57
keep the ice away from my crotch.
7:58
Right.
7:59
I mean, as a man, I'm just thinking like,
8:01
I don't want that anyway,
8:04
even if it would help me.
8:06
It just didn't make sense.
8:11
Yeah.
8:12
Would you guys say that
8:13
Bergeron is inappropriate as athletes?
8:17
No, no.
8:20
Yeah.
8:22
don't know how we got on
8:23
that subject but I guess
8:24
corey made that comment
8:26
yeah let me go back to let
8:27
me go back to jim's go
8:28
ahead this is what happens
8:30
when there's too many
8:30
emergency meetings at my
8:31
real job and we just do a
8:34
fly by the seat of our
8:35
pants show with no agenda
8:36
right well my audio is not
8:38
working all right
8:41
So back to the gym.
8:43
So tomorrow's my last
8:44
tomorrow's our last classes.
8:46
I have an equipment list.
8:48
I have about ninety percent
8:49
of my equipment sold.
8:51
There's about forty five
8:52
different people picking up
8:54
stuff between tomorrow and Saturday.
8:57
I still have one rig that's assembled.
9:02
Mike and I were at the gym last Sunday.
9:08
Maybe Saturday or Sunday,
9:10
taking down the one rig.
9:11
Um,
9:11
tomorrow we'll take down the second rig.
9:13
There's still like, um,
9:16
anchors like coming out of
9:17
the floor anchors coming
9:18
out of the wall that have to like,
9:20
you know,
9:20
we have to figure out how to
9:21
make them flush with the flooring.
9:24
Um,
9:25
I ordered a storage unit so that
9:27
anything that's still left over,
9:28
like we can take over to
9:29
the storage unit.
9:31
Um,
9:31
my daughter is taking a futon for her
9:34
apartment in college.
9:35
So we'll take that down to
9:36
her tomorrow as well, or on Saturday.
9:38
but it's like a lot of
9:39
moving pieces and you know, I like,
9:41
I'm very organized and I've got, you know,
9:44
self sheets for every single person,
9:46
how much they owe, what they're taking.
9:47
And I'm in my mind, I'm thinking like,
9:49
how am I going to organize it all?
9:51
Cause if they all come at the same time,
9:53
um, you know,
9:54
I don't know what I'm going to do.
9:56
So I'm super stressed out.
9:57
Where's the vacuum.
9:59
You know what the vacuum cleaner,
10:01
it wasn't on the cell sheet.
10:02
So I guess I'm keeping it unless, you know,
10:04
unless someone asks about
10:05
it when they come in tomorrow.
10:07
That would be a tough break.
10:08
Yeah.
10:10
I mean,
10:10
I should charge extra for that thing.
10:14
Well,
10:15
you guys have a pretty in-depth
10:17
relationship.
10:18
Yes.
10:19
Me and the vacuum.
10:21
You know,
10:21
I was going through old pictures
10:23
on my phone.
10:23
Like I was cleaning out a
10:24
bunch of stuff because I'm
10:25
running out of space.
10:26
And I found the picture that
10:28
I took of my butt cheek
10:29
from the cut on the vacuum cleaner.
10:35
And I didn't delete it.
10:37
Like,
10:37
when am I ever going to need that
10:38
picture?
10:42
And I'm also thinking like, hey,
10:44
why did I said why did I
10:45
take that picture and who
10:46
did I show it to at the time?
10:50
I'm hoping it was just my daughter.
10:52
But you never know.
11:00
We're hurting Scott.
11:02
OK.
11:04
So I'm like emotionally
11:06
prepared for tomorrow, I think.
11:08
But I swear to God,
11:09
if my members come in and
11:10
like get me a card or bring me, you know,
11:14
a baked good or something,
11:16
I'm going to fucking lose it.
11:17
And I don't want I really don't want to,
11:20
you know, be sad.
11:21
I know.
11:24
Sad.
11:26
I got to say, like.
11:28
Like we came out,
11:31
saw it before it was open,
11:33
saw you like building it.
11:35
So I'm a little sentimental myself.
11:37
Yeah.
11:38
And I think people around me
11:40
that don't do CrossFit or
11:42
that haven't known me very long,
11:44
I don't think have a
11:46
fraction of the concept of
11:48
what all this means to me.
11:52
Do you know what I mean?
11:54
They see it like, oh, it's just the gym.
11:56
You get to sleep in now.
11:56
Would that be great?
11:57
Like, yeah, I get that.
11:59
But like,
11:59
there's so much more to it than that.
12:02
And it's really hard to.
12:05
I mean,
12:05
I try to explain it to people and
12:07
they don't they don't quite
12:08
comprehend it.
12:08
And I don't think they always give me.
12:12
The grace that I might
12:14
require with the stress
12:16
that I've been under the
12:17
last couple of weeks, so we'll see.
12:19
But yeah, I'm sad.
12:22
Well, the way we met was.
12:24
You came on as a guest of
12:27
the podcast because your
12:29
goal was to turn your
12:31
garage gym into a real gym.
12:32
Yeah.
12:35
And, um,
12:37
and you made that happen and now
12:39
that's coming to an end.
12:40
So I can't imagine the
12:42
emotions you're going through.
12:43
Yeah.
12:48
That's a lot.
12:48
All the way.
12:48
What episode?
12:49
Yeah.
12:49
I'm so loving.
12:53
And now we're in the thousands.
12:54
We don't even keep track of
12:55
episodes anymore.
12:56
Remember that?
12:57
Remember just the running
12:58
tally of episode numbers we used to have?
12:59
Like, oh, which episode is this?
13:02
Because we have it on the thumbnail.
13:04
I still have it on the thumbnail.
13:05
They're all out there.
13:06
Do you really?
13:07
Yeah, this is one thousand eleven.
13:10
Sweet.
13:11
Oh, I love it.
13:11
OK.
13:13
All the ones.
13:14
One thousand episodes ago
13:16
was Kat's guest show.
13:19
And you know how you get
13:20
like your memories on Facebook and stuff?
13:22
we had our first workout at
13:24
the gym three years ago on January.
13:27
So I'm getting all of these
13:29
memories of guys, you know,
13:31
one more day until we're
13:32
open grand opening and all
13:33
this other stuff.
13:34
So yeah, it's really trippy.
13:35
Yeah.
13:38
We actually have way more
13:39
episodes than that because
13:40
there were all the first
13:41
year we did semifinals.
13:42
We did not number.
13:43
Okay.
13:45
Yeah.
13:45
I figured as much.
13:47
Do we still do, do we still do podcast?
13:50
Like, do we still do audio?
13:52
Yeah.
13:53
You download on audio all the time,
13:55
all these episodes still?
13:56
Yep.
13:58
Every one of them.
14:00
Remember when we hosted
14:02
Dave's Week in Reviews on our,
14:03
remember when we used to
14:05
post those for him?
14:07
I do.
14:09
It wasn't that long ago.
14:09
So there are episodes of
14:12
Weekly in Review that are
14:13
in podcast form that are
14:14
just on an audio form that
14:17
are out there that we did for him,
14:18
but not anymore.
14:21
Yes, Corey, you were ten-ten on Tuesday.
14:29
So, yeah.
14:33
John Gonzalez is asking,
14:35
why is it closing?
14:40
It's not making any money, basically.
14:42
The economics are very difficult for a gym,
14:45
I think.
14:46
I went into it specifically
14:48
targeting people who would
14:51
never do CrossFit.
14:54
while an exciting concept
14:56
and a meaningful concept
14:58
and an impactful concept to
14:59
the people that joined my gym,
15:02
I only found about twenty
15:04
five of them in my area.
15:07
And so and I was bullish
15:08
about the concept.
15:10
I didn't want competitive
15:11
athletes in my gym.
15:12
I didn't want a bunch of
15:14
like I didn't do any like
15:15
military law enforcement
15:18
type discounts and things
15:20
like that because I just
15:21
didn't and not that
15:22
those people are intimidating,
15:23
but they tend to be a
15:24
little more fit in advance than, you know,
15:26
the general population.
15:27
And, um,
15:28
I didn't want to kind of mess with
15:29
that vibe and it, it backfired on me,
15:32
right.
15:32
It didn't,
15:33
I needed to probably diversify
15:35
earlier on in, uh,
15:36
in the gym and I let it get too far, um,
15:40
out of my control.
15:41
And at that point I was, you know,
15:42
hemorrhaging money every month,
15:44
had to go back to corporate America, um,
15:46
to just
15:47
know buy groceries and and
15:49
pay the bills and things
15:50
like that so we've been
15:51
running on a deficit for
15:52
probably about a year now
15:54
and in that year I've been
15:55
trying to actively get out
15:56
of my lease and get out of
15:57
the business so I haven't
15:59
been growing it at the same
16:01
time that I probably should
16:02
have been growing it
16:03
because I just didn't have
16:04
the bandwidth to do that so
16:08
I know every I mean
16:09
everyone was welcome it was
16:10
just I mean everybody put it this way
16:14
No one at my gym that's a
16:16
member except for one girl
16:17
who's seventeen can even do a pull up.
16:19
And I've had members for two
16:21
or three years and they
16:23
have no desire to do a pull up.
16:24
Right.
16:25
They just they they they
16:26
want to do ring rows like
16:28
it's just a different mentality.
16:29
They they're here for longevity.
16:31
They're here for a social experience.
16:35
They're not really true, you know,
16:39
CrossFitters, if you will,
16:40
and they don't care that they're not.
16:43
But yeah,
16:44
and so it turned off a whole
16:45
bunch of other people that
16:48
may have come to train and
16:49
want to get better.
16:50
I had people leave the gym
16:51
because it wasn't competitive enough.
16:54
You know,
16:54
they started out and they got
16:55
competitive and they were like,
16:56
no one's pushing me here.
16:57
I can't really, you know,
16:58
get to where I'm going.
16:59
And I completely understood
17:00
that and was fine with them leaving.
17:03
It's just unfortunate that
17:05
the twenty people that I found,
17:06
like none of them had any
17:07
friends that wanted to do what they did.
17:09
Like it didn't, you know,
17:10
it wasn't as viral as I was
17:12
hoping it would be.
17:14
Well,
17:14
I think you were caught in the middle
17:15
of something because you
17:16
didn't really mind if
17:17
someone wanted to be competitive.
17:19
You just didn't want the attitude of, hey,
17:21
you've got to go raw, raw,
17:22
raw the whole time or
17:25
you're not welcome here.
17:26
And that's what you were
17:28
surrounded with in the
17:29
CrossFit gyms around you.
17:30
Right.
17:31
It would be something
17:32
different where there
17:33
wasn't all that pressure.
17:34
Absolutely.
17:36
But it was this niche you
17:37
had to like gently thread
17:40
that needle for and it was complicated.
17:44
way more complicated than it
17:45
appeared on the surface.
17:46
Yeah.
17:47
Yeah, that's a good way to put it.
17:49
So, yeah.
17:49
And so, you know,
17:50
and I did a lot of personal training.
17:52
And when I went back to corporate America,
17:54
I didn't have time to do
17:55
personal training.
17:55
And if anybody knows the
17:57
economics of a gym,
17:59
personal training is where
17:59
you get most of your money.
18:02
And so that stopped.
18:03
And then I was just, you know, like I said,
18:04
we were hemorrhaging every month.
18:06
And so every month we were open,
18:07
it was I was digging into my savings and,
18:09
you know,
18:11
using this corporate job to
18:12
fund the business that was losing money.
18:14
So it was just my landlord
18:17
finally found someone to
18:18
take over the lease.
18:19
He graciously let me out of
18:20
the lease with no penalties.
18:23
And I'm actually even paying
18:25
him less than what I
18:26
technically owe him for
18:27
some of the rent that I
18:28
haven't paid in the last
18:29
year because I just couldn't afford to.
18:31
So yeah, John, if you don't know me,
18:35
you ask me a question,
18:36
you will get all of the
18:37
nitty gritty details because I don't,
18:40
punches I'm super
18:41
transparent so he he also
18:43
he says uh he's an
18:45
entrepreneur as well I hear
18:47
you I think all
18:48
entrepreneurs go through
18:49
the same uh shows you have
18:51
grit to go back to
18:52
corporate america and then
18:54
asks what is your corporate
18:56
american job um I am a um
19:00
oversight and compliance um
19:03
vice president for um the
19:04
paypal savings account actually
19:07
So if you have a PayPal savings account,
19:09
I manage the oversight for that.
19:10
Nice.
19:13
I didn't even know that.
19:15
Yeah, I don't work for PayPal,
19:16
but I work for a different company,
19:17
but that's what I do.
19:20
And Jodi says, hemorrhaging money, a cat.
19:24
Yeah, it's... Yep.
19:27
Man,
19:27
you have more grit and balls than I
19:29
ever would to do that.
19:31
I, um, I've tried to do that with my cast.
19:35
Um,
19:36
and I've wanted to quit my job to do
19:38
just this, but it's just, well,
19:40
I never got to that point
19:41
where I could jump ship and
19:45
give it a full go.
19:48
Well, and I, I mean,
19:49
when I look back on the
19:50
advice that I got from
19:51
people that I really trusted and admired,
19:54
um,
19:55
no one encouraged me to open up this gym.
19:57
no one.
19:58
They said, stay at the house.
20:00
You don't have any overhead.
20:01
It'll be great.
20:02
You don't understand all the
20:03
headaches that you're going
20:04
to have when you open a gym.
20:05
And I had worked at so many
20:07
different gyms and been
20:08
close with the owners and
20:09
the managers that I thought
20:11
I knew better.
20:12
And I thought I knew
20:12
everything and that I could handle it.
20:15
And I had other coaches tell me,
20:17
don't quit your day job, whatever you do.
20:19
You have benefits.
20:20
You have this amazing salary.
20:22
Don't
20:23
uh don't do it and you know
20:25
I was very rebellious and I
20:26
was like I'll show you I'm
20:28
gonna do it anyway so
20:29
that's just my personality
20:32
corey says never got there
20:34
yet scott well the exciting
20:35
news is in two days I am
20:39
officially eligible to
20:40
retire from the state oh
20:43
nice now so that means I
20:46
will have a check the rest
20:47
of my life if I walk away
20:49
that check is not awesome
20:51
right but now I have options
20:53
because I have a check that
20:55
I just need to supplement
20:57
to get me to where I need
20:58
to go so maybe it is a
21:01
turning point um but we'll
21:03
see it's exciting to know
21:08
I've made it that far I'll
21:09
just say that yeah no
21:13
you've done a lot you've
21:14
definitely I wouldn't ever
21:16
say that you haven't you
21:18
know accomplished
21:20
your dreams because this is
21:21
still your dream job and
21:22
you're getting to do it every day,
21:24
which is cool.
21:26
My big thing now is, you know, I'm,
21:28
I'm a little bit burnout from coaching.
21:31
I'm probably going to take
21:32
some time off from coaching,
21:33
but let's face it.
21:36
Like I'm a coach, like I have to coach.
21:40
So I got to figure out what
21:41
that looks like,
21:42
what my next move is there.
21:43
I do have some really good
21:44
friends that owns gyms very
21:46
close to me who have
21:47
already reached out and said like, Hey,
21:48
come work out here.
21:49
for a couple of months and just, you know,
21:51
get to know our community.
21:53
And Hey,
21:53
if you want to bring some of your
21:54
members here and, you know,
21:55
coach them a few times a week,
21:56
like we can work something out.
21:57
So everybody's,
21:58
the whole community has been so amazing.
22:00
And there've been local gyms
22:02
that are coming and taking
22:03
like half of my equipment,
22:05
which is also great because, you know,
22:08
what am I going to do with
22:09
all this stuff now?
22:10
And it's, it's helping me to like pay off
22:12
uh, you know,
22:13
a business loan that I had
22:14
and the money that I owe my
22:15
landlord and all that.
22:16
So it's, um,
22:17
everybody's been really great about it.
22:20
I'm just looking forward to
22:21
being a member somewhere, you know,
22:24
getting my own fitness back.
22:26
It's been months since I've
22:28
had regularly scheduled
22:29
workouts for myself and I
22:31
feel it physically.
22:33
Um,
22:33
I don't feel as good as I have in a
22:35
while.
22:35
So, uh,
22:37
Trish says you have a coach voice
22:41
and great hair.
22:44
Yeah, well,
22:44
the hair's a little crazy today,
22:46
but it needs to be washed.
22:51
Yeah.
22:51
So on a different subject,
22:53
the other thing that you
22:54
were doing when I met you
22:56
was you were judging.
22:58
And you dove full into that.
23:02
At last week's Wattapalooza, the AFJ,
23:05
the Association of Fitness Judging,
23:08
held their first seminar
23:10
where they trained people how to judge.
23:14
They then judged at
23:16
Wattapalooza and they graded the judges.
23:19
And depending on your grades,
23:21
you get a chance at moving up or down,
23:25
I guess,
23:26
in the ranks of judges for future events.
23:31
what are your thoughts about
23:32
the way the directions that is going?
23:35
And Dave has mentioned them
23:36
in his week in review as
23:38
meeting with the AFJ and
23:40
getting ideas from them.
23:42
Do you think this is the
23:43
start of a more professionalized judge?
23:48
Um, it sounds, I hope so.
23:50
It sounds like it.
23:51
I was very encouraged that
23:53
they were doing something in Wadapalooza.
23:54
I think Wadapalooza is the
23:55
perfect place to do it because they have,
23:58
it's probably the one, um,
24:01
event with the most judges
24:04
showing up right in terms
24:05
of the the breadth of
24:07
divisions and how many
24:08
heats they have and
24:08
everything else besides
24:09
like the old granite games
24:11
I imagine there aren't
24:13
there isn't another event
24:14
that has as many judges
24:15
present so it sounds like
24:17
they cast a wide net I
24:18
would love to have been a
24:19
fly on the wall for the
24:20
conversations post event
24:23
you know to see like how
24:24
the grading and judging of
24:25
the judges goes and what
24:27
that looks like um I know that that group
24:33
is slightly cliquish.
24:35
And I just would hope that
24:37
they are partial,
24:38
impartial rather when they're, you know,
24:40
picking people and, and all that.
24:43
But I think it's great.
24:44
And I noticed that Dave did
24:45
mention that he was working with them.
24:48
And I think that's great too.
24:49
I think he's finally
24:50
starting to realize that like,
24:51
he can't do everything himself and that,
24:54
you know,
24:54
reaching out to other folks and
24:56
trying to get things right for,
24:59
with areas where people are
25:00
really focused on their,
25:02
little silo I think is helpful, but, um,
25:06
I'm pulling up, I'm looking at, uh,
25:08
Andrew's comment here.
25:09
Let me look at this real quick.
25:11
They did a podcast with
25:12
Brenton Hicks on Lex appeals podcast.
25:14
They got Brent to judge a heat.
25:17
I want to lose a Brent Brent Fikowski.
25:20
Brent Fikowski.
25:21
Yeah.
25:24
Oh, that's cool.
25:28
So, yeah, I mean,
25:29
I think it's definitely a
25:30
step in the right direction.
25:31
Um,
25:33
It's something, I mean,
25:34
I even got an email about
25:35
some competition, maybe NorCal or,
25:37
or one of those,
25:39
because I must be on some
25:40
lists for judges.
25:41
And I thought to myself, you know,
25:43
now that I don't have to,
25:45
I'm not chained to my business anymore.
25:47
I could do a little more
25:47
traveling perhaps.
25:49
And maybe,
25:49
maybe I'll go back and judge a
25:50
little bit.
25:51
That'd be fun.
25:53
Or media.
25:54
Well, yeah, obviously media,
25:58
but do you know what I mean?
25:59
Like it would be fun to,
26:01
do some judging.
26:01
And I actually, um,
26:03
I've been tapped by some
26:04
local people that do
26:05
competitions that want me
26:06
to help them with either judging or,
26:08
you know,
26:09
athlete control and that kind of stuff.
26:10
So our scoring actually.
26:14
So John says people won't
26:15
care if they're not getting paid.
26:16
I don't agree with that
26:17
because I was a judge for many years.
26:19
I was a volunteer for many years,
26:20
never got paid, loved every bit of it.
26:23
I was a volunteer from two
26:25
thousand thirteen to two
26:26
thousand nineteen before I
26:28
started this podcast and
26:30
even did a little bit of
26:31
volunteering after.
26:33
But there are opportunities
26:34
now for judges to get paid.
26:35
NorCal Classic are paying
26:37
the judges a hundred
26:38
dollars a day to judge for
26:41
a three or four day event.
26:43
So that's not nothing.
26:46
It's not like going to get
26:49
you a new house or anything.
26:50
Yeah.
26:53
And there's been other.
26:55
other events who have paid
26:57
the judges as well.
26:59
And they've been paid to
27:00
come in and judge like the
27:02
open or judge the
27:04
quarterfinals or semifinals
27:05
at an affiliate as well.
27:07
Mayhem TTT have paid for
27:10
judges to come in and do that.
27:12
Yeah.
27:13
And I, I mean,
27:13
I know the year in when I judged,
27:15
I did probably seven or
27:17
eight different events.
27:18
They all required airfare hotels.
27:23
And I happily,
27:24
volunteered.
27:26
And I know a lot of people
27:27
have a problem with that.
27:28
I remember even talking to
27:30
Mike about it and he's like,
27:31
I don't understand.
27:31
Like you spend all this
27:32
money to like go to these
27:34
competitions and you don't
27:35
get paid and you work them.
27:38
And I'm like, yeah, it's,
27:39
it's actually part of what I enjoy doing.
27:42
So I think if you're not in the ecosystem,
27:45
it is really hard to
27:46
understand why people do that.
27:48
And I know John did mention
27:49
something about Don
27:50
Gonzalez here about Waza.
27:51
Wadapalooza loses.
27:54
probably a hundred and fifty
27:56
judges day after day.
27:58
Um, and again,
27:59
I think it's because they
27:59
have such a big swath of
28:01
judges that they need, um,
28:04
that they typically lose
28:05
volunteers all the time.
28:06
And it's,
28:07
it's for other ones from day over day.
28:10
Um, I'm sure.
28:12
But then there's some of us
28:13
that are just been around
28:14
it and all of our friends do it.
28:16
It is really the way we get
28:18
to go see our friends every,
28:21
every few months.
28:22
Yeah, I mean, that year in twenty nineteen,
28:24
I have so many good
28:24
memories of traveling with my friends and,
28:28
you know,
28:28
meals and ice cream desserts and
28:32
just stupid things and
28:34
running around different
28:35
cities and getting to do
28:36
some sightseeing and
28:37
spending time with people like Andrew.
28:38
Andrew and I have been have
28:40
roomed together in houses
28:43
probably half a dozen times
28:44
over the course of my short
28:46
judging stint.
28:50
Yeah, I mean, I met Andrew at MFC.
28:54
And we've been friends ever since.
28:57
I'm pretty sure every single
28:58
group judging picture that
28:59
I have from that year in
29:00
twenty nineteen that
29:01
Andrew's in all of them.
29:09
Yeah.
29:09
So, yeah, it's a cool thing to do.
29:10
I wouldn't mind doing it again.
29:12
Yeah, I mean, I'm done with that.
29:14
If I go to anything,
29:15
it's for media now and media only.
29:18
But yeah.
29:19
but it doesn't mean I don't
29:20
appreciate that or wouldn't
29:22
want to do it if I wasn't
29:23
doing this podcast.
29:26
I would love to just like
29:27
jump in for a heat or two, you know,
29:30
like that's,
29:31
that would be what I would want to do.
29:32
Cause right.
29:33
If I'm there, I want to be,
29:34
I want to be doing media stuff.
29:36
Yeah.
29:38
So I just wanted to get your take on that.
29:42
Yeah.
29:42
I think it's good.
29:43
The one thing I want to do.
29:44
Oh, go ahead.
29:44
Go ahead.
29:45
What?
29:48
No, no, you go ahead.
29:49
Yeah, no, I was, I was watching the,
29:55
do you guys remember when
29:56
we were talking about W, what is it?
29:59
WFP, WPF, World Fitness Project, WFP,
30:04
right?
30:04
And there were still invites outstanding.
30:09
Yep.
30:09
There's still, there's still some.
30:12
But do you remember what I
30:12
said about them before Guadalupalooza?
30:14
I don't.
30:16
I said, Hmm, I said, Hmm,
30:18
maybe they're going to wait
30:18
and see what happens at Lottapalooza.
30:21
Hmm.
30:22
Maybe Lucy Campbell is going to win.
30:23
Hmm.
30:23
Maybe she's going to get an invite.
30:25
I don't know.
30:25
Maybe.
30:26
Did that happen?
30:27
Yes, it did.
30:27
You're welcome.
30:30
I know.
30:30
Thanks Lucy.
30:32
That is the best story in
30:33
CrossFit in years.
30:35
Yeah.
30:37
I love Lucy, Lucy Campbell.
30:39
She's been, she was on the show.
30:40
One of the best interviews I've ever done.
30:42
She is.
30:44
Outright,
30:45
just one of the coolest chicks out there.
30:47
And just love it.
30:54
So that's interesting that
30:58
they got a few new people
31:00
based on what happened at Wadapalooza,
31:02
which is kind of cool.
31:04
Well,
31:04
I think the Spiegel signing was
31:06
probably she has the most followers.
31:11
Oh, yeah.
31:13
And if they're going to make it work,
31:14
they need people to watch, right?
31:16
So you're trying to get the
31:18
people with the most fans or followers.
31:24
But Lucy is just a great story.
31:25
And what a way to capitalize
31:27
right off of that.
31:35
Just say, Scott, I love Lucy.
31:36
All she needs is a boyfriend named Ricky.
31:37
Ricky.
31:42
No, she's just a swimming background.
31:45
You know how I am with that stuff.
31:48
Yeah.
31:49
We hit it off.
31:50
And she also has a degree in
31:52
sports psychology,
31:54
which was fascinating to me.
31:56
We dove deep into the psyche
31:58
of athletes and, and all that stuff.
32:01
And it was just a great interview.
32:02
Yeah.
32:03
She seems very, very grounded.
32:07
Yeah.
32:10
Speaking of swimming,
32:12
Yes, sir.
32:12
As you know, my background is in swimming.
32:14
My mom and I went to the US
32:16
Olympic trials this year for swimming.
32:19
And there I found this
32:21
podcast called Unfiltered Water.
32:24
And it is Missy Franklin and Katie Hoff,
32:29
who are two former Olympic swimmers.
32:31
And they started a podcast
32:34
where they were
32:34
interviewing people around
32:35
the swimming space.
32:36
And I felt so disconnected at the trials.
32:40
I wanted to get back into like,
32:42
Who are the big swimmers?
32:44
So it's a podcast I watch
32:46
when I need to decompress
32:48
from the CrossFit stuff.
32:51
And turn on last week's episode.
32:54
And who's on?
32:55
Brooke Wells.
32:57
Shut up.
32:59
Nope.
33:00
Nope.
33:00
On a swimming podcast.
33:02
On a swimming podcast.
33:04
Because.
33:06
So this podcast is not that old.
33:08
It's only hit like one year mark.
33:11
And it they decided they
33:14
wanted to go outside the
33:15
swimming space to find more
33:17
inspirational stories and
33:20
and Katie Hoff CrossFit.
33:23
Oh, OK.
33:26
And her husband does as well.
33:28
And they watch the games and
33:31
they live in Nashville.
33:33
So the connection was there
33:35
and they actually had her
33:36
in studio for an interview,
33:40
which was really cool.
33:42
The other thing that is,
33:44
I've never been a big Brooke Wells fan.
33:46
I will admit it,
33:47
but she doesn't do a lot of media.
33:49
So to get her on a full long
33:53
form podcast was very unique.
33:58
And I will say she did about
33:59
an eighty percent job.
34:01
Good job of explaining what
34:03
CrossFit is and why it's a
34:06
great methodology.
34:08
Because she's talking to
34:09
swimmers about how they're
34:12
specialists within swimming.
34:14
Like like one was a
34:16
breaststroke or one was a
34:17
backstroke or one was a distance.
34:20
Right.
34:21
And they and they train that
34:23
one stroke or that one
34:24
event to go to the Olympics all the time.
34:28
And Brooke was talking about
34:30
that she could never
34:30
survive a training like that.
34:32
She needs variety.
34:34
She needs the unknown and the unknowable.
34:35
And she explained what the
34:36
unknown and unknowable were
34:38
and why like every day you
34:40
come into the class,
34:41
it's a little bit different.
34:44
And that the games tries to
34:45
test a little bit of everything.
34:47
And every year they have no
34:49
idea what they're up for.
34:50
And they were comparing it to me to like,
34:53
you mean we could show up
34:53
at the Olympics and they're like, well,
34:55
you're competing in the
34:56
hundred breaststroke this year.
34:57
Right.
34:58
Right.
35:02
And she's like, that's pretty much it.
35:03
And they're like, oh my gosh,
35:05
that would kill me.
35:07
Because they are so
35:08
specialized in what they do.
35:10
It was a really cool yin and
35:12
yang of the two sports and
35:16
they talk about all that.
35:17
The one thing that I did not
35:21
care for in the interview
35:22
was they go into the Lazar death.
35:25
Oh, really?
35:29
She did fine explaining it.
35:31
It was that
35:34
non-factual stuff for being
35:36
brought up and nobody to
35:38
stop that from happening um
35:43
yeah um like they said it
35:46
was in fort worth and it
35:47
was hot that day and katie
35:50
is like oh fort worth is
35:51
hot it's like a hundred and
35:52
ten when I'm there and like
35:54
I know that would be really
35:55
hot to swim in it wasn't a
35:56
hundred and ten that day right right like
36:02
but and maybe I'm just
36:04
sensitive and protective of
36:05
this thing that I love um
36:10
but other than that like
36:11
for not being a brooke
36:12
wells fan I really got
36:13
sucked into this okay and I
36:15
really like the contrast
36:17
between the two and it was
36:19
it was not like tommy or sean or
36:25
Coffee Pods and Wads or Siobhan.
36:27
It was a different voice
36:29
interviewing a CrossFitter,
36:30
which was really,
36:32
really interesting and fascinating to me.
36:34
Yeah, that is neat.
36:35
I like that.
36:38
Every time you bring up Brookwells,
36:39
I think about my elbow, just so you know.
36:42
They talk about that.
36:44
Yeah.
36:45
They talk about leading up
36:47
to that and everything.
36:48
I got my MRI last night.
36:50
They had a cancellation.
36:51
So I went and got my MRI on
36:52
my elbow last night.
36:54
So hopefully by next week,
36:55
I'll know a little bit
36:56
about what's going on.
36:57
Nice.
37:00
Excited.
37:02
The one thing I did learn is
37:03
her and Sydney wanted to do,
37:05
their dad was a personal
37:06
trainer and they wanted to go to the gym.
37:08
So they wanted a membership
37:09
to the gym and their dad was like, no,
37:12
I know what kids do at the gym.
37:13
They just run around.
37:14
They don't do anything organized.
37:16
And the only thing he would
37:17
pay for was a CrossFit gym
37:20
because he knew they would
37:21
come in and have to do
37:21
their work in an hour.
37:23
I didn't have to leave.
37:25
And that's how she started CrossFit.
37:27
It was because her dad
37:29
didn't want her just
37:30
running around a gym in the off season.
37:34
Do you know what I thought
37:35
you were going to say?
37:36
I thought you were going to
37:37
say her dad couldn't afford it.
37:38
So he got one membership and
37:39
they switched off.
37:41
They went on alternate days
37:43
because they're twins.
37:45
That was where my head went immediately.
37:48
yeah and she talks a lot
37:49
about sydney and that one
37:51
of the reasons that she
37:52
left proven was because
37:54
they were killing each
37:55
other every time they were
37:57
in the gym together they
37:58
were going a hundred
38:00
percent to beat the other
38:02
and it just wasn't healthy
38:03
for them and as much as hey
38:08
we shouldn't do that today
38:09
they still they could not
38:11
turn it off is she what is
38:13
she doing now is she with jr
38:18
I don't know.
38:19
She's not HWPO anymore, right?
38:21
Or was she ever?
38:23
I think she is.
38:24
Oh, she is.
38:25
Okay.
38:26
But she also is with JR.
38:28
Right.
38:28
Cause didn't she launch that
38:29
clothing brand or something?
38:30
Isn't she part of that?
38:33
Yeah, the shoe company.
38:34
The shoe thing, yeah.
38:37
Yeah.
38:39
I barely paid attention to that.
38:40
Those usually come and go so fast.
38:43
Do you remember way back in
38:44
the day when Camille came
38:46
out with her line after
38:47
winning the games and it
38:49
lasted six months?
38:51
I have a pair of lilac
38:53
Camille LeBlanc Baznay CLB booty shorts.
38:57
Yes.
39:00
I was, you, you don't understand.
39:03
Like when I started CrossFit in,
39:05
I consumed everything, everything.
39:08
There were, there were grid races,
39:11
like in my, like near my hometown,
39:13
I went to grid races.
39:14
I was a griddler.
39:15
Do you know what a griddler is?
39:16
It's a, one of the barbell handlers.
39:19
I did a griddler.
39:20
I was griddler for some kind
39:21
of combine in like outside of DC.
39:24
I bought the,
39:25
you remember the jump ropes
39:27
that where you could clip on the,
39:29
Like the handles would pull
39:31
out and you'd be able to
39:32
clip your wire on.
39:33
I think they're the old, like RPM things.
39:37
I have, I found handles on it.
39:39
The handle says bad
39:40
motherfucker on my handles of my,
39:42
of my jump rope that I bought.
39:45
Twelve, thirteen years ago,
39:47
I was one of the first
39:47
people to own a wolf.
39:49
Soon as we came out, I got a wolf.
39:50
I'm like,
39:51
like the first fifty people I
39:53
bought so much stuff, everything.
39:58
I'm with you.
39:59
Remember Matt O'Keefe's and
40:02
Matt Frazier's Redline apparel company?
40:05
I had a Redline t-shirt.
40:08
All the things.
40:12
Even those, yes, thank you.
40:13
Even those barbell jeans or
40:15
whatever they were that are
40:16
no longer in business that
40:18
I still never got my money back for.
40:20
I still have those jeans.
40:22
Well,
40:23
I had at least six Rich Froning
40:24
lookalike outfits.
40:26
You're talking about the headband?
40:29
The headband, the sunglasses,
40:33
the rope necklace, the black shirt.
40:38
I had the blacked out rogue
40:39
shirt with the Bible verse down the side.
40:48
And then the rogue shorts,
40:49
the boarded shorts, the rogue ones.
40:52
I had a pair of the silkies.
40:54
I had a pair of silkies.
40:57
You know what those are?
40:58
The little robe.
40:59
They're for dudes, but I had a pair.
41:06
I don't know.
41:07
Not puka shell.
41:08
It was a braided rope.
41:10
It was huge in Major League Baseball.
41:13
And Rich had one.
41:15
And then he went to just a
41:16
single leather rope around
41:19
his neck with no pukas, though.
41:24
Yes, Corey, those.
41:25
I had those.
41:28
I wore those.
41:31
Yep.
41:31
And I was always on the
41:32
search for the perfect pair
41:34
of white booty shorts, a la Stacey Tovar,
41:37
like constantly.
41:39
And I would buy a pair and I
41:40
would love them and I'd
41:40
wear them once and they would like,
41:42
I'd wash them and they'd turn gray.
41:44
And it's like the hardest thing to keep,
41:47
you know, Lycra, white Lycra white.
41:50
I challenge anyone.
41:51
I was always on the lookout
41:52
for Stacey Tovar's booty shorts as well.
41:54
I'm sure you were.
41:57
With her in them.
41:58
That was always the thing.
42:00
I remember one time I
42:03
actually got a pair of a
42:08
Lululemon jog bra from Lauren Brooks.
42:11
Remember Lauren Brooks from Florida?
42:14
Talena Fortunato's friend.
42:15
Yeah.
42:17
I bought a pair from her.
42:18
Made the snatch,
42:19
went to one knee and
42:20
brought it up off the
42:21
ground and they still call it good.
42:24
That was amazing.
42:27
Yeah.
42:27
Talena Fortunato actually
42:29
gave me a dry needled my neck one time.
42:32
I was down in Fort Myers,
42:33
Florida for a baseball
42:34
tournament with Braden and
42:35
I went to see her and she
42:36
was my practitioner for dry needling.
42:39
Super nice lady.
42:41
Her gym was super cool too.
42:42
Talena's?
42:44
Yeah.
42:45
I saw her at Wadapalooza the
42:48
year you and I went and she
42:51
had a baby under each arm
42:53
and nobody knew who she was.
42:55
yeah I remember her gym had
42:59
um just bars going from
43:01
like wall to wall they were
43:02
pull-up bars but they it
43:04
was just like in the roof
43:05
rafters they just had a bar
43:06
and like you would just
43:07
walk up to that and like
43:08
that's where everyone would
43:09
do their pull-ups like in
43:09
the middle of the floor
43:11
there wasn't there wasn't
43:11
like a rig it was very odd
43:14
uh every time you mentioned
43:15
stacy tovar scott gets his
43:17
wings that is true however
43:20
in true cat fashion it's s-t-a-c-i-e
43:25
Yes, it is Stacy.
43:29
Did you see that?
43:30
Speaking of misspelling people's names?
43:32
Did you see Kelsey keel is retiring?
43:35
I didn't she see she's retiring.
43:36
I see she got engaged.
43:38
Yes,
43:38
she she had she posted a retirement
43:41
post today.
43:41
Like I'm not competing this year post.
43:45
Yeah.
43:49
I can never spell her first
43:50
name right either.
43:51
I always get it wrong.
43:54
think she's k-e-l-s-i-e or
43:56
post what's up story or
44:00

44:05
think it was a post yeah
44:09
this one you see it yeah
44:13
she's adorable my
44:17
competitive jersey has been
44:18
hung up for now at least
44:21
Last year was my all-in.
44:23
This year I wanted to see if I could do it,
44:24
moving to Baton Rouge,
44:26
training with Coachella every day,
44:27
putting everything I had into it,
44:29
making sure I left no stone unturned.
44:32
And guess what?
44:32
I didn't make it.
44:34
I was the fittest I'd ever
44:35
been in my entire life.
44:37
Okay, nice.
44:37
Yeah, right.
44:50
She's adorable.
44:52
I think she's moving here if
44:54
she has not already done so.
44:56
Moving to Ohio?
44:59
Columbus specifically.
45:01
Oh, really?
45:02
Yeah.
45:04
Is her fiancé switching teams?
45:08
Well, he only plays in the summer, right?
45:12
And I think he plays in California.
45:15
Yeah, he's on the Giants.
45:16
Okay.
45:17
And so, uh,
45:19
but she worked out across the
45:20
grand view last summer or
45:22
spring or something early
45:25
in the season last year.
45:27
Um, so yeah.
45:31
And then when I talked to
45:32
Coachella at the masters,
45:34
he said that he thinks
45:35
she's moving back here permanently.
45:37
Cool.
45:38
Yeah.
45:39
I really like her.
45:40
She was a Philly girl, right?
45:42
Yep.
45:43
Go birds.
45:48
yeah I are you still
45:51
watching the the eagles or
45:53
just heck yeah of course
45:56
what do you mean am I still
45:57
watching them here's the
46:01
crazy part here's the crazy
46:03
part we have a trip coming
46:04
up to texas and we're going
46:07
to be in texas during the
46:08
super bowl well better than
46:12
being in missouri
46:14
but if the Eagles win and
46:16
we're going to be in like the cowboy,
46:18
cowboy country, you know,
46:20
the Cowboys and the Eagles
46:21
hate each other.
46:22
So it'll be interesting.
46:25
Are you going to,
46:26
you're not going to Dallas though.
46:27
You're going to San Antonio.
46:29
Well,
46:29
we're flying into Dallas and then
46:31
we're driving all the way
46:32
down to Corpus Christi and back.
46:33
So.
46:34
Okay.
46:34
Nice.
46:34
Yeah.
46:40
Quick trip, but over that weekend, so.
46:46
all right well last year
46:47
last year we were in the
46:48
mountains of utah for the
46:49
super bowl so I haven't
46:50
been like home for a super
46:52
bowl in several years and
46:53
the year before that I was
46:54
in bed because I had
46:55
coveted so next year we
46:59
haven't been going much of
47:01
anywhere with julie's knee
47:04
but we're starting to get a
47:05
little more mobile now went
47:07
out to eat the other night
47:08
it was nice good good good
47:12
She's supposed to go from
47:13
Walker to cane tomorrow.
47:17
Cool.
47:19
How's she feeling about that?
47:22
I think she, she,
47:23
so when she goes upstairs,
47:24
we don't take the Walker upstairs.
47:26
Uh, so she does cane upstairs anyway,
47:29
but this,
47:29
they want her to do bigger
47:30
stretches on the cane.
47:34
Um, so yeah, I think she's good with it.
47:37
She's at a hundred and
47:38
fifteen degrees of bend.
47:42
which is better than the goal they wanted.
47:45
They wanted her at one Oh five.
47:47
She's not one to fifteen.
47:48
Awesome.
47:49
So yeah, good stuff.
47:53
How many,
47:53
how many more weeks before she
47:54
goes back to work?
47:57
So we are three and a half
48:01
weeks and she gets, she's off six.
48:03
So two and a half weeks to go.
48:07
Cool.
48:08
She's getting a little crazy.
48:10
I would be too, but yeah, it's okay.
48:12
She'll be,
48:13
she'll be out and about soon enough.
48:16
Yeah.

pittsburgh so yep oh I
49:32
wanted to mention really
49:33
quick um I started we
49:36
started a new show last night
49:38
It's an old show from it's
49:40
Apple TV show called severance.
49:43
Have you seen it?
49:44
I have not,
49:45
but Corey just binged it and is
49:47
trying to get us to watch it.
49:49
So good.
49:53
Super, super weird, but really,
49:55
really good.
49:56
I think we got through the
49:56
first two episodes last
49:57
night and I'm super excited about it.
49:59
Like I cannot wait to watch the next one.
50:02
We started the pit.
50:05
Okay.
50:06
which is Noah Wiley from the ODR show.
50:11
He is in Pittsburgh in a
50:13
hospital that is underground,
50:15
which is very common in
50:16
Pittsburgh because it's
50:17
built into the mountains
50:19
and they call it the hospital, the pit.
50:22
And it appears we're like
50:23
two and a half episodes in
50:24
that the whole series is
50:26
going to be one day of this
50:28
like trauma ER and what
50:31
they have within a day.
50:34
It,
50:35
the grittiest hospital show
50:37
I've ever seen.
50:39
And it is graphic.
50:40
Like when they have to do an operation,
50:43
it is all out there on the table.
50:46
Yeah.
50:46
We couldn't watch that.
50:47
Mike doesn't,
50:47
Mike doesn't like gory stuff.
50:49
He would, he would have to close his eyes.
50:51
I love that stuff.
50:52
Yeah.
50:52
Julie's like, uh,
50:54
just tell me when it's over.
50:59
Yeah.
50:59
Yeah.
51:01
She closes her eyes and then
51:03
tell her when it's over.
51:05
That's funny.
51:05
Well, as soon as we're done Severance,
51:07
maybe we'll check that one out,
51:07
but I'm really enjoying this one.
51:09
So I didn't realize.
51:12
Severance.
51:17
Yeah.
51:18
Crazy.
51:18
He's not in it or anything, but yeah,
51:20
he wrote it.
51:22
Yeah.
51:23
They say it's not,
51:24
not like what you would
51:25
expect from Ben Stiller.
51:28
No, I mean, I,
51:29
I worry about the psyche of
51:31
anyone that comes up with that story.
51:32
Like you have to wonder like what,
51:34
what are they on or what are
51:36
they suffering from to come
51:37
up with the storyline?
51:38
Cause it's just weird, serious,
51:41
super creative and entertaining,
51:43
which I guess is what the
51:44
goal is for television.
51:46
She is not giving him a key.
51:48
He actually enlisted in the Navy.
51:50
And so he's going to be going away anyway.
51:54
Oh, okay.
51:54
So we're, we're, we're all safe there.
51:57
Yeah.
52:00
And thank you very much, Jodi.
52:01
Or, nope, wrong one.
52:03
Thank you very much, Jodi.
52:08
Yeah, Adam Scott, definitely not.
52:10
We were doing the whole thing like,
52:12
how do we know this actor?
52:13
And how do we know this actor?
52:14
Because there's this one actor,
52:15
this one character named
52:16
Irving in the series.
52:18
And he's the Agent Simmons
52:21
from the Transformers.
52:22
You know,
52:22
the douchey agent guy from the
52:25
government and all the
52:26
Transformers movies.
52:28
I gave up like former movies,
52:30
but I know who you're talking about.
52:32
Yeah.
52:32
But it's like, how do I know that person?
52:34
Hold on.
52:35
I have to pause the movie and like,
52:36
look it up.
52:37
Cause it drives me crazy
52:37
when I can't figure out who people are.
52:41
And Patricia Arquette is in it too.
52:43
Anyway.
52:43
