what's going on everybody
welcome to lunch with the
cladsdale not eating alone
today I get to sit at the
cool kids table with cory
leonard if you sit at the
cool kids table you are not
sitting with me I can
promise you that much I owe
a couple yo's to kenneth
jeffrey jody what's going
on guys yo yo yo yo yo yo so many yo's
so many yo's so it's been a
light day in like news just
in general so I thought why
not just have I have to
wait like about another
minute before I call the
show what it really is but
a shoot the breeze day with
my friend cory um
I didn't know we had a time limit on that.
That's insane.
You can't cuss within the first,
I don't know, minute, four minutes.
I've heard like all over the map.
Right.
You get demonetized.
Taylor Self probably knows
down to the second, if we had to guess.
Yeah, I don't know.
So, yeah.
So I can't call the show
what we really like to call it.
And then on the thumbnail,
I had to use the, uh,
like the Amber sand and the
percent sign to get it in,
or I get demonetized the,
the goofy it's okay.
After that time to curse as
much as you want,
you don't get demonetized,
but in the first couple of minutes,
you cannot, you gotta,
you gotta start off on the right path.
And then after a while you
can do whatever the hell you want.
That's all right.
I like that.
It's like parenting, right?
As long as we get them to like, you know,
sixteen, seventeen, eighteen,
then it's not our problem anymore.
That's it.
You're fine.
You can move on.
You can navigate all this stuff.
Oh.
So we got a little Barry McOchner here.
We got some Holly.
There we go.
Getting them in here.
Oh yeah,
Barry McOchner says Jack Farlow's out.
That's what I was actually
staring at when you thought
my screen was frozen before we went on.
In his statement,
he said that he's doing
this to concentrate on the
WFP because of his college
schedule and the pressures
of all of that.
Come on.
Now we're getting past like.
That's a reach.
I mean, come on, dude.
Like I was giving Emma the
benefit of the doubt on the
back injury and needs to
heal up and the WFP starts later,
even though it was a little sus.
Right.
I was giving her the benefit of the doubt.
Now her beau goes in,
says he can't do it because
of the stress of the college.
And if I like he was due to
graduate a year ago because
I've had him on the show a
couple of times.
Yeah.
And and what makes this even
more interesting is he's
not even assigned athlete.
So he's focusing on the WFP
as a challenger.
As a yeah, as I got to qualify for it.
So that means he has to do two qualifiers,
two tour events,
and hopefully make the finals.
That's a much more rigorous
schedule than a game.
You got to,
instead of doing a workout a
week for three weeks and
then seeing where you fall
out after that.
And he is a, I mean, he's a high level.
Like there's a very good possibility.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Jeffrey Bertrod.
Yes.
Emma, Emma is signed.
Also, isn't he,
the other people that are
out that are already listed at like,
or go and play, go and compete at Mayhem.
And now they say, well,
I'm just focusing on WFP.
I'm not actually doing the Open.
Well, in that case,
you should get uninvited to Mayhem.
Because you're taking up
space that somebody else
could be using to actually
try to qualify for the games.
It's an independent event.
I'm going to disagree with you on this.
It's an independent event
because CrossFit is not
putting their hands in
these cookie jars of all these events.
They're just qualifying
events for their games.
Exactly.
Who doesn't go?
Mayhem can invite whoever they want.
you're not you're not wrong
you're not wrong I'm just
saying that if that's what
I'm not talking about
mayhem on inviting him he
made me like whoever the
hell they want but if if if
me if I'm jack farlow and
I'm saying well I'm not I'm
not competing in the open
I'm not trying to make the
games well then you
shouldn't be you should
remove yourself from the
the competition where the
people that actually are
going is because if you're
focusing on WFP,
then you don't need to be doing mayhem.
You need to be focusing on a
WFP and get ready for that
and trying to graduate school.
I'm very, very fired up about that.
And it has no effect on me whatsoever.
So these in-person semifinal
events are so confusing to
me because truly they are
their own entities.
It is almost like an off-season event.
Yeah.
Other than now,
top two get to go to the games.
Right.
Right.
So if he wants to go do it, go do it.
But it just makes it more
confusing as a fan to now
try to figure out
Yes.
Yes.
So we know the people
competing at syndicate are
all competing for a spot at the games.
I am.
I am way that that's awesome.
Good on Wilson for that.
Like, Hey bro,
we only want people here
who's actually trying to
make the games and their
list of invitees comes from
the open and the online
affiliate semifinal.
So, you know,
that they're in on the season
from the list they're grabbing.
Yeah.
So that makes sense to me.
Mayhem is going to be a
cluster and they're just
going to put on an event
and people are going to win.
And maybe they get us there.
It reminds me of the game
spot at that point,
but now it's going to be
who's in and who's out.
Yes.
It reminds me of the first
year with sanctionals.
Whenever people were trying
to figure out how they
actually got to the games and
because it was top whatever,
and I won this Sanctuary,
so I didn't have to worry
about being top whatever,
and I won the Open,
and I also won this competition.
It was convoluted,
and I feel like that's kind
of what it was.
It was consistently convoluted.
Now we've got Wadland
inviting AD athletes.
We've got,
and they have to have like ten French,
they have to have twenty European,
and then the rest are open to the world.
You got Africa that's only
inviting people from Africa.
And Sarah Segal's daughter.
Or she lives in Dubai-ish.
She's technically in the UAE,
but the people who are
going and supporting that
competition and whatnot are,
from the post I saw this morning anyway,
are losing their
ever-loving minds because
she's being invited,
even though she is in the UAE.
They always are losing their
mind because Michelle
Baznet made everybody lose their mind.
She has dual citizenship.
She chose to compete in Africa.
Hey, bro, if I had dual citizenship,
I would compete in Africa.
And it mattered.
That was going to be the easiest route,
the path of least resistance.
Absolutely.
Sign me up.
But to your point,
we don't know any of the
rules of any... It's so convoluted.
Every in-person semi is
going to be different.
Absolutely.
Where at least in the sanctional season...
all the rules were the same.
It was just confusing,
but it was the same confusion.
Once you figured out the, the Rubik's cube,
you could figure out what was going on.
Yeah.
I'll agree to that for sure.
Absolutely.
Sure.
But not to bury the headline,
Jack Farlow is out due to a
busy schedule of college
and he is focusing on his
life as a challenger and
In the WFB.
WTF or whatever it's called.
Yeah.
Good luck to it.
I'm just saying,
just saying my girlfriend said, no,
that's all you got to do, bro.
I'm just throwing that out there.
Look, Birch knows.
Yep.
oh and so and like what jay
birch says here you have to
do the open to qualify for
most of these invitationals
most but not all but not
invitational yeah
invitational being the key
word there yeah so it is crazy
PK wants to know what's for lunch.
My wife is actually back to work,
but she's on lunch right now cooking.
We have some lean ground
beef burgers being made.
I don't know what she's making for a side,
but excited to throw some
of that in my chomper when
I'm done with this.
Chicken and rice.
Same thing as for lunch
pretty much every day of the week.
Chicken and rice.
Easy peasy.
I can eat the same shit over
and over and over again.
It doesn't bother me at this point.
Jody says, bye-bye, Farlow.
I don't understand the big, long,
drawn-out, I'm out, whatever,
I'm doing this, I'm doing that post.
I don't get it.
It's beyond my level of comprehension.
I just don't understand that.
Well,
I'm focusing on school this year and
I'm going to do the WF.
Okay, cool.
You didn't have to say all that.
You could have just did that
later on and people would
have figured it out all by themselves.
I think they're so
accustomed to people giving
them attention for all
intents and purposes.
That's just another way for
them to get attention.
Does that make sense?
That's what it seems like to me.
Andrew says,
CrossFit should make a rule
you have to do the Open in
order to qualify for the Games.
You do.
I thought you did.
Yeah,
I thought you had to sign up for the Open,
right?
You have to be in the Open
to qualify for the Games,
but you don't have to do
the Open to go to these events.
No.
That's what we're talking about.
You can go win money.
Yeah, so in theory,
Jack Forlow could go win
the Mayhem Classic.
I think he's going to, but,
and then not go to the games.
Like the second place person would get the,
would get the invite.
And that,
that's why I like what Wilson is
doing where no, you only come here.
You can do a great cash grab.
Yeah.
A hundred percent, which, Hey,
do you think,
I just think it's kind of
messed up if that's what,
if that's in fact what you're doing.
All the OG posts that have been coming up,
like the Scott Pancheck and
Rich and Ben Smith,
like all those hype reels
that they've been making,
talking about I'm in for the Open.
Like,
I get fired up for that kind of stuff
because those dudes know
what it actually means,
like for the community,
for the competition aspect
of it and whatnot.
And then these younger cats,
all they know is the sport.
The people who have maybe
haven't really ever been in
an affiliate before.
I don't, and they're just like,
I'm just trying to win money.
I think Matt Fraser was like that.
I still do.
Because once he figured out that you could,
if you go listen to his story,
once he figured out you
could make money doing it,
that's what he started doing.
Yeah.
And focused in on it.
He happened to be the best
in the world at it.
I say happened to be.
I mean, he worked his ass off for it,
no question about it.
But that's where he ended up being,
was doing it because he
wanted to get a payday.
Sorry, Birch.
Yes, also Bridges.
Thanks, Dan.
Yeah,
I... So I'm not like a rah-rah guy
that CrossFit owes this or
you owe CrossFit that or
anything like that.
But like this whole...
I'm really having a tough
time with this season as a whole.
And I'll put it as simply as I can.
I'm a Christian man.
Forgiveness is one thing
that is one of the hardest
things in the world to do,
but it's something that I
am supposed to do.
Right.
I have been hard on CrossFit
in the way they structure their season,
in the way they do things,
in the way they communicate
things for years.
But every year I kept
signing up for the Open.
And every year I joined my
community to do these events.
There was a tragic event.
Things weren't handled
exactly the way they should have been.
People have admitted that.
I gotta forgive and hope
that change is made well
here's the thing if you
want change leaving is not
going to do anything you
know what I mean like you
can complain about you can
be at your house with a
with a dish full or sink
full of dishes and just sit
there like oh these dishes
are so dirty but if you leave the house
They're still going to be
sitting there just as dirty
as they were before.
Like, if you want change,
you have to work towards change.
That's a thing.
You want something, you can't demand it.
And then when you don't get it, just say,
well, then I'm just leaving.
Like,
that's not how adult relationships work,
much less how stuff like
what we have works.
I agree completely.
There's been a whole gang of stuff.
That since I'm in the,
it'll be eight years in May
that I've been doing
CrossFit that I've seen.
And I was like,
that doesn't make any sense.
I don't like, or whatever,
but I didn't just go,
I don't like that one thing,
regardless of what it was, I'm done.
That's insane.
Like that's what crazy people do.
Um, Jaybird says how many times though,
there is a limit.
It, the Bible says there is no limit.
Um,
And then he says change
doesn't happen passively.
I agree.
But I think that there was
an event that happened that
impacted several lives.
And yes,
it impacted these athletes and
they're communicating that
it happened that way.
Um, but we're not giving the Ben,
we're not giving CrossFit
the thought or the
processing that that may
have impacted them in, in a similar way.
And so, like I said yesterday,
and I've gotten a comment that
said I was misinformed.
The CrossFit Athlete Council
is doing more in the first
few months of existence
than any other athlete
council they've ever put together.
And I know that CrossFit is
at fault for some of that
not working in the past.
But something happened nine
months ago that makes it
that they need this to
happen and work now.
So I'm seeing change.
And I'm cautiously optimistic.
I am.
I'm optimistic by nature, but that doesn't,
it doesn't mean that I just
am overly exuberant that
they've changed and things
are going to be different.
No,
I'm going into this with some caution
and hoping hopeful that we
get some change.
Same.
And they have a competitor
for the first time.
that's trying to do
something similar to what they're doing.
And maybe that pushes them to change.
A hundred percent, dude.
I don't, how I feel about, you know, what,
what the WFU is going to
look like a year from now,
two years from now, whatever aside,
it's good to have competition.
Competition pushes you to be better.
At what you do.
It's like I sell insurance for a living.
I am glad that other people
also do it because
otherwise I wouldn't have
to work as hard.
Like if it was easy,
everybody would do it.
If there was no competition,
then it just becomes a
thing at that point.
Same thing with competing on the floor.
Same thing with even
competing inside of a classroom.
It's a good thing.
Cautiously optimistic.
Good term.
Yep.
Yeah, I would say so.
The people that are out, whatever,
they haven't done anything,
refusing to look at what
they actually have done.
Like just turning a blind eye to it.
Well, that's not enough.
Just say you want Dave Fire.
Dan Church, our dude,
I'm looking forward to just
seeing more fitness competitions.
He ain't be seeing a whole
lot out of one eye for the
foreseeable future because
he missed a box jump the other day.
He sent me a picture a
little while ago and his face is...
It's like he was in Fight Club.
Dan missed a box jump and hit his face?
Yeah.
Dang.
Yeah.
Yeah,
I've missed box jumps and wrecked my
legs.
He messaged me when I put the...
Thumbnail up message.
He's like, what time?
I think I can make it today.
And I was told him and he said,
y'all should talk about me
missing my job.
Cause I said, we have no plan.
FYI,
we're just going on there and just
going to talk.
And he said,
y'all should talk about the
box job that I missed.
And he sent me a picture.
Like I had an accident.
I tipped a soft ply box and
smashed my face.
Yeah.
Great.
I never realized you had an accident.
Love it.
I think she means accent.
Yeah, the Ragin' Cajun.
One and only.
One and only.
Anyway.
I will say this.
I do want to reference this.
I think people need to see changes happen,
not just that they put all
these things in place.
They aren't blind.
I completely agree.
That is the cautious part of
my cautious part of being optimistic.
Yeah.
I want to see what happens next.
Yeah.
But if you're not sticking
around to do that, then what's the point?
That's
I wanted to talk about some fun stuff.
I didn't want to just get
into a negative dive today.
That really wasn't what today's plan was.
We had no plan.
It's real easy to get me
riled up and start ranting about...
that so yeah let's we we are
both signed up for the open
well I'm going to sign up
today we are both going to
be signed up for the open
by tomorrow yes the
announcement is tomorrow
and I wanted to like just
give the listeners a treat
I've said many times my
first ever open workout was
I misquoted what thirteen
point one I told you I
cannot remember the stupid names
Or what the workouts were for the numbers.
I can't get them correlated, but point one,
I thought was the hundred
fifty wall balls,
ninety double unders into
the fifteen muscle ups.
I was wrong.
That is thirteen point three.
Oh.
What I think it is,
or what I know it is now,
because I've looked it up,
is it was the burpees and the snatches.
Burpees to target.
And I think it was fifty
burpees to a target.
Fifteen snatches.
Forty burpees to a target.
Fifteen snatches.
Something like that.
The numbers, I'm probably off,
but I actually found the video.
Oh!
My first ever.
Um...
CrossFit open workout.
And the neon is bright.
So you may need some sunglasses,
but I'm going to share my
first ever open workout submission video.
I am here for it.
And just so you know,
the nickname at my old gym was Thor.
Everybody's called me Thor.
Thus the shirt.
But here we go.
I will share my screen.
And for your viewing entertainment,
for your viewing entertainment.
Look at that baby face.
Oh, yeah.
Here we go.
Ready?
One, go.
My name is Scott Schweitzer.
I'm in the region Central
East doing workout WOD at
Nike Freeze as my CrossFit shoe.
Love it.
So unstable.
Good.
Tape on the bar.
Tall socks, neon green.
Fifteens on the bar, forty-five pound bar.
We shared a volleyball,
a gym with a volleyball center.
We had to bring in five years to lift on.
Forty-five.
Thirty-five.
I don't even know why we
were going to do this.
I wasn't getting anywhere near that.
You can see the piece of
plywood we had to bring it
from outside to set up on.
Dude,
I love the compression socks and the
compression seat.
Touch that button when you're ready to go.
Here we go.
Three, two, one, go.
yes sir and this was very
early on in my um my
crossfit career you know I
can tell you are smashing
like just like you just
threw a brick on the gas
pedal and just let's go I'm
doing burpees well and um
burpees on that turf sucked
Oh, I imagine.
I will tell you that.
My knees were so scratched
by the end of this.
But you have to remember,
I started CrossFit over
five hundred pounds.
So at this point,
I am just trying to survive.
I can't believe my friends
talked me into doing the open.
And then when I did it,
it was like the greatest experience ever.
But.
thought that would be fun to
share um a little bit to a
snatch because it was ugly
my mobility was so bad at
this point um here we go my
my my shoulder mobility was
pathetic look how far out
in front that bar is I mean
I've seen worse, Scott.
I've seen where hell I've done worse.
Thankfully it got a lot better.
This is amazing.
So, but I thought I'd, um,
share that little, that little fun.
I wish, I wish I had video of my,
my first one.
It was nineteen point one,
which was the wall balls and rowing.
like, nineteen calories,
nineteen wall balls for
however long it was.
I don't know, it felt like three hours.
And halfway through,
maybe three-quarters of the way through,
I just, I got tunnel vision completely.
I couldn't,
the only person I could hear was Sarah,
who was one of our coaches,
one of the owners of the place,
counting my reps.
And my buddy Robbie,
who was screaming at me to keep, like,
you know,
help me out to keep going and whatnot,
I couldn't hear anything else.
And when they finally, as Cecil said, time,
I fell off the roar with
one foot still strapped in,
and I was just laying there.
And I really,
really wish there was video
of that because I imagine
it's probably hilarious to watch now.
That was a fun – so just –
the night before we did this workout, um,
none of my friends had hit a hundred,
none of me or nor my
friends had hit a hundred
and thirty five pound
snatch at this point.
Right.
And that was the next bar
after what you saw there.
That was ninety five jumped
to one thirty five.
So the night before we are
just taking swings and
attempts at hitting a one
thirty five snatch so that
if we get there the next day,
we might have a shot.
And, um,
And the next day,
my two buddies both hit
their first ever
one-thirty-five snatches.
Now,
one of them was like a snatch press
where he barely got it
overhead and then pressed it out.
Hey, bro, it's CrossFit.
It's not an Olympic lifting competition.
But the place went nuts.
Oh, I would imagine.
And then my favorite ever
workout was it was an
increasing barbell of
deadlifts and box step-ups.
And, um, and I, I hit deadlifts.
I had never hit before.
I was just like on fire.
Like that thing,
you were in the zone and I
had done things I hadn't done before.
And the entire gym like
jumped on me when the,
when the workout was over.
I love stuff like that.
I love stuff like that.
That's what gets me hyped up.
By that point,
we were out of that little
gym and we had moved to like a real,
our own space.
Yeah.
Nobody playing volleyball in
the background.
Yeah.
And doing,
doing it on rubber mats instead
of plywood on turf.
Ooh, turf's rough, dude.
Oh my word.
D Reed says snatch press is
legal in CrossFit.
It sure is.
It's in CrossFit.
Took every bit of that.
Counts in CrossFit.
I snatched a hundred and
ninety pounds at a competition,
a local competition two
years ago and it landed on
my head and I pressed it
out and it stood up and I was like,
that was ugly as shit, but it counts.
Uh, Dan Church,
my first open was two thousand eleven,
eleven point one, ten minute AMRAP,
a thirty double unders,
fifteen power snatches at
seventy five buried me.
They brought that back in fourteen,
fourteen or fifteen.
Um,
I had to do it like four
times until my double unders turned on.
That's gross.
Like that hurts because
there's nowhere to hide.
Like you're going from one
aerobic thing to another
aerobic thing and just steady.
Like that's a heart rate.
And then they,
they put it in a team
workout when they did the team series and
Um, and it was one partner did one,
one set of this, the thirty double unders,
fifteen power,
and then you switched back and forth.
Hmm.
That's going to be worse
because then over the back of our gym,
we did it outside.
Thank God.
Yeah.
We pulled like rubber mats
out into the parking lot,
did it out in the parking lot.
Thank God.
Cause I like,
I lost everything everywhere.
I can see,
especially doing it like tomorrow,
because I always tell
people whenever we have
like a partner workout that
I'm coaching or a team to
three or something like that, I was like,
yes, you are going to get rest.
It's not necessarily going
to be what you want,
because when you go to pick
up the barbell,
now you're either going to
have one or two people just
sitting there staring at
you the entire time waiting
for you to go.
so we had our our five am
crew is famous for that
they'll look at something
on the board and like I'm
not doing all that because
they've been here since
jesus was a baby and
they'll turn something into
a partner workout which is
going to change the
stimulus completely but instead of
Just going at a steady pace.
Like now it's becoming sprint intervals,
like who can finish faster.
So then the other person
gets to go and whatnot.
I'm like, y'all are absolutely insane.
Instead of doing this.
Fifteen minute AMRAP y'all
just turn this into a
fifteen minute partner workout.
That's all sprint.
Like y'all that's wild to me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh,
Dan Church is coming into town this
weekend, uh, for the Arnold.
Yeah, that's,
that's starting up this weekend.
Oh,
Columbus will be the Mecca of fitness
for a few days.
Uh, that's always fun to watch.
I think cat's coming out for
that with her son.
Um, I know thick boys usually there.
Uh, so yeah, um, that'll be,
that'll be big time.
And I, the rumor is that, uh,
Thor Bjornsson is going for
the record on the deadlift
this weekend at the Arnold.
That comes up on my Facebook
memories every now and
again because I had shared
it whenever he did it.
The last time was like, what,
eleven hundred pounds or
some crazy shit like that.
And every time it comes up,
I throw up in my mouth a
little bit like I can't fathom that.
Yeah, I can't fathom that.
When they pull out the
elephant bar at the Arnold,
it is a sight to see.
The way that thing bends.
Yeah.
So I don't know if he's... So basically,
Strongman is usually done on Saturday.
And then Sunday,
they just line up like
world record attempt after
world record attempt and go
all day on Sunday with that stuff.
So I don't know if that's
the plan to do it on Sunday
in that string of things or
to do it within the competition.
because an elephant bar
would not be where you're
going to break that record.
No, no, it's got too much flex.
I don't think you can load it up.
You can load it up.
Right.
I'm with Jody.
I would love to go to that just to go see,
like, that's gotta be some stuff,
some crazy shit to watch.
It's so be living here in
Columbus would care less if
I ever went again.
Too many people.
So I used to work security
for it back before I did
this media thing.
And I escorted the
bodybuilders from the
dressing room to the stage.
It is there are so many people,
so many people.
it's like herding cats
because the bodybuilders
are so dehydrated.
They have no idea where they're at.
Um,
you're trying to get them to a place
and there is just literally
wall to wall people.
And if any of the,
like if Arnold shows up and he walks,
they shut down everything for him.
Well, yeah, cause he's got to get mobbed.
I'd imagine.
Yeah.
It's,
and he has like eight massive men
around him at all times and
they shut down aisles and they, it's,
But it is,
if you can get to an event and
get a seat or even like a
standing room part there,
it's fun while you are there.
Right.
So, but it is really,
and if you want to see vendors,
like there are more vendors at this thing,
it is probably ten times
the size of the game's vendor village.
It's just whatever you can think of.
Every supplement under the sun,
every girl in a bikini, every belt, grip,
protein cookie, you name it, it's there.
And then Rogue has a big
booth right in the center.
And usually they bring in
their athletes to sign
autographs and take
pictures and all that stuff.
And I think Sprague is going
to be here and so is Medeiros for sure.
Usually they put the
schedule out at some point,
probably tomorrow or Friday.
And then they bring – usually Rich comes –
um well he's not that far
from that right uh
cookville's a good seven
hours probably oh okay that
is far um but yeah uh well
he's gonna be well that is
tomorrow that's not friday
dan bailey's always a
throw-in because he lives here in town um
so but yeah uh it's a fun
event to do once or twice
um but the the coolest
thing I ever did in my life
is um the one year they
partnered with the wwe rick
flair comes out of the back
to do his steps right in
front of me as I'm trying
to get the bodybuilders to
stay and I have to hip check rick flair
I would tell people that
story all the time, Scott.
Like I said, if for whatever reason,
Ric Flair just comes up in conversation,
I'd be like, yeah,
I hip checked him one time,
had to get him out of the way.
He was just,
he was being disruptive while
I was trying to do my job.
That's fantastic, by the way.
Dan Bailey has not lived on
a boat since like, Yeah,
since y'all saw him on that documentary,
he pretty much has not
lived on a boat since then.
He actually lives here in a
little suburb called Westerville.
Has a farm with a barn.
Has rebuilt the barn to make it a gym.
And now he's married to No
Pants No Chance and has twin babies.
I haven't even seen anything
on his from Van Bailey from
his Instagram.
I don't even know how long.
He still used to pop up pretty regularly,
but
So he's always done the open at Polaris.
with Christie and Patrick and,
and all of those guys.
So I would see him every
open season coming in there to do that.
And then if other people
would come into town for the Arnold,
a lot of them would come up
and do the open.
So I I've been at players
when like Madaris has been there,
Sam Briggs,
I think I've told the Sam
Briggs story a couple of times where I,
she yelled at me cause I
wasn't picking up the bar.
Yeah.
And that was very, very intimidating.
You know,
that speaks to the kind of person
that she is, though, right?
Like, she's watching the open go by.
She sees some dude, like,
struggling not picking up the bar,
and she's just fucking fired up,
and we're going to get into it.
I love that.
Yeah.
Absolutely love that.
Yeah, and the cool thing was,
when it was all over,
she came over and was like,
I hope you didn't mind me yelling at you.
And I'm like, no,
I needed to pick up the bar.
Like, I was making excuses in my head,
and I didn't need to.
Oh, yeah.
Ken's right.
That one-hour palm earth
that Dan Bailey did last year sometime.
Yeah, he's a big first-form guy.
Well, this was fun, man.
The forty-five minutes flew.
Always, brother.
So glad you could be with us.
Maybe we'll make this an
every Wednesday thing.
You got my number, dude.
Shoot the shit with Corey.
You got my number.
This is my, I told Jennifer this morning,
this is my early coaching day.
So I coach at five a.m., six a.m.
today.
And then I usually sit in Norma Tech boots,
do a little recovering
before I come to work.
I never sleep well the night
before I early coach because, like,
my body's on high alert.
It's like I don't want to miss, right?
I don't want to accidentally
sleep through my alarm or
anything like that.
So I never sleep well in this morning.
Coach five, coach six went,
sat down in the chair and
fell asleep in the Norma Tech boots,
sitting in the little
office area like by myself.
There wasn't anybody else there.
And not for real long,
but long enough to where when I came to,
I went, oh, my God,
how long have I been here?
I love those deep nap sleeps
where you wake up and you're like,
is it day?
Is it night?
Is it morning?
I have no idea.
It could have been noon.
It could have been three
o'clock in the afternoon.
It had only been like twenty minutes,
but to the point where I
woke up and I'm probably late for work.
I wasn't, but it was terrifying.
So, Kenneth says,
and I'll pull this up in a second,
what kind of lunch we
having with the Clydesdale on Wednesday?
Cajun lunch.
Cajun lunch.
Best food on the planet, son,
right down here.
It really is.
It really, really is.
Oh, here we go, Charlie.
He wants a little Cajun on Wednesdays,
too.
He can jump on.
He has the button.
He has the button.
Shit, he's got my phone number,
for Christ's sake.
Call me.
it's it's funny because I've
been I'm a big gordon
ramsay fan I watch like
kitchen nightmares
religiously and he did a
whole series in new orleans
before the super bowl yeah
and uh and I my favorite
food is new orleans like I
love I love gumbo and I
love jambalaya and I love
all that stuff right and he
was fixing these people's
dishes on all that stuff
and my mouth is just like
Kenneth, oh, yes, the rivalry is renewed.
Corey versus Charlie, twenty twenty five.
Right now, Charlie,
I don't want to love you to
hurt athletics.
Are the glasses real and
have you climbed those mountains?
The glasses are definitely real.
So my office is in the
middle of the building.
like quite literally,
I don't have any windows in here.
It's like,
it's basically like being in a closet.
And so my wife got me this
and it's just a big sticker.
It's a decal that I,
cause I was complaining
about not having a window.
And so,
and she didn't even tell me she was
getting it.
It just showed up at the office one day.
And like one of the girls in the front,
Gina came back here and she's like, Hey,
something came for you.
And I was like,
I do order stuff and like
get it shipped here because
I know especially if it's
like like I got my new jump
rope shipped here I'll get
shoes shipped here I just
get from here go straight
to the gym afterwards but I
wasn't expecting anything
so I was like something
came for me and I opened it
up and I thought my boss
gave it I thought todd got
it for me and I was laughing
uncontrollably and so stuck
it up as you can see it's
nice and crooked because I
just eyeballed it the best
I could and once I saw it
was crooked I'm like I'm
not taking it down and
putting it back up um but
yeah that's my window fyi
there are no mountains in
south louisiana yeah
Justin Wilson is the best Cajun chef ever.
I will go with that.
Jay Burch watched him a ton
when I was a kid.
And Dan Church always has Corey's back.
No competition.
Corey is games bound this year.
Dude, if you make the games, we are.
The party we're going to
have at my house here in
Columbus is going to be so huge.
It's not you, Scott.
It's wins.
I still am pinching myself
that the Masters Games is
here in Columbus.
That's amazing.
For you,
considering that's your... I can
cover it and sleep in my
own bed and not pay for airfare.
Airfare, Airbnb, extra food,
all that shit.
At the end of the day, I'm going home.
The biggest expense maybe is
either parking or Uber,
whichever I decide to do.
Right.
Pretty sure we can write that one off.
Charlie says, whoa, whoa, whoa.
He signed up.
He signed up, O.T.
Charlie, let's see what you got.
He signed up, O.T.
Get you some, bro.
First workout drop at two p.m.
tomorrow.
At three p.m.
Eastern.
Three p.m.
Eastern.
Pacific.
Yes.
All the listeners are
invited to the party.
You'll be able to,
if when that leaderboard
gets finalized and my
name's on it in that top,
whatever they take in that
and whatever that year,
you'll be able to hear me
yell from your house,
believe what I tell you.
Man, that would be freaking awesome.
Well, guys,
we have run late and our bosses
are going to be pissed.
So, hey, hooligans, get back to work.
We'll see you next time on
Lunch with Clydesdale.
Later, y'all.
