Big announcement.
A member of the Clydesdale media team
qualified for Rogue.
From the gym to the screen, yeah,
we cover it all.
Midday motivation every time you press
call.
Lunch with the Clydesdale.
Cowboy, bring the heat.
Crossfit, move it.
Music on repeat.
High-fiber hustle, yeah,
we building that brand.
Grab a plate.
Tune in now, you part of the fam.
It's lunchtime!
Oh, man.
Pavarotti would be impressed.
So,
have you seen the movie O Sole Mio?
know what i know what it is but
no i haven't so it is um it's
kevin james yeah and it's it takes place
in italy um the premise is for his
wedding right correct yeah the premise is
they go to italy for their wedding the
his fiance stands him up and he is
left at the altar uh and then he
goes into an anxiety panic attack and
there it goes from there it's i wouldn't
say it's like a typical um kevin james
comedy type thing it's more of a rom-com
right but there's there's a scene in it
and this is why i'm bringing it up
is andre bucelli plays a big part in
this whole movie all right and there's a
scene where
To prove his love,
Kevin James gets up and sings a Buccelli
song in front of Buccelli.
As one does.
I did the same thing for Jennifer a
while back.
In front of Andre Buccelli?
Yeah.
Him standing right there beside you?
He lives down the street.
Oh.
Buccelli's Cajun?
All this time I thought he was Italian.
Yeah.
It's the same thing, dude.
We're a big melting pot down there.
That's all Italian, French-Canadian,
Cajun.
There's a bunch of it.
It's a bunch of Irish people, actually.
Well,
the point I was trying to get to
before you derailed the show for the eight
thousandth time.
You're welcome.
Is that the balls it had to take
even as an actor.
Oh, yeah.
To sing Buccelli in front of Buccelli.
Right.
And then I believe if I remember it
correctly,
Buccelli starts singing with him.
And the whole time he's accompanying him
on the piano.
It did.
Yeah.
No, thank you.
I don't like, let me, I say,
I don't like singing in front of people,
but I can't imagine singing a cover of
one of my favorite bands songs while
they're there.
Like that was, that would be,
you know what I mean?
Much less a world-class, uh,
I don't know, opera singer,
whatever you want to call him.
I would call him an opera singer.
Well, you know, tenor, whatever.
Yeah,
I don't know the opera technical terms.
Right.
I can't see doing that because,
like I said,
even as an actor doing that on camera,
knowing that it's for a bit in the
movie, how that would end up.
Like, I would be shitting my pants.
Yeah.
Because Kevin James is not known for his
tenor voice.
As it turns out.
As it turns out.
As it turns out, Kevin James,
mostly physical comedy,
not so much opera as it is.
Retired Steve says,
you would nail Eye of the Tiger.
Eye of the Tiger is not my thing.
I mean, I know it.
Obviously, not my thing.
That is a perfect example of a song
that when it first came out,
part of Rocky III.
I'm a major Rocky fan.
Love that song to death.
And then it got played every single day
of the eighties.
You know what's fun to do?
It's fun to do.
So when I bought my Jeep,
whoever had it before me,
because I bought it slightly used,
it's the sport model,
but they paid for the sub in the
back and like the extra speakers and shit
like that.
So like the sound system is outstanding in
it.
Every once in a while,
the street that the gym is on,
it's just one long straight shot from stop
sign to stop sign.
If you leave out the gym,
run to one stop sign and other stop
sign back to gym, it's a mile, right?
So every once in a while,
if I turn down the street going to
the gym and class is going on and
people are running down the street,
I'll put all four windows down and play
Eye of the Tiger as loud as I
possibly can while just creeping on by
them.
speaking of that too i i had just
gotten over like my overplayed survivor
eye of the tiger right and then i
went to film rudy berger doing the open
one ear and that was one of his
songs on his list for every workout i
love rudy i love that dude of course
it was of course it was
and and he they would like everything
about rudy's like online training was so
precision he has a crew that like do
set up camera work the whole bit and
he would the lineup was that i the
tiger had to hit it just the right
time of the workout in that moment where
he needed it the most and they knew
it was like what the six minute and
twenty three second mark
That's planning right there.
I don't give a damn what anybody tell
you.
That's planning.
And probably why he has four world
championships.
Well, if you've ever met Lynette,
and I mean, you and I have, obviously,
but if you've ever met his wife,
she leaves nothing to chance, dude.
Nothing.
That woman is a hell of a coach.
She is unbelievably prepared and knows him
down to the millisecond.
It's insane.
I love it.
I don't know what the two of them
do in their day jobs,
but I know it involves spreadsheets for
both of them,
and it is abundantly clear that they are
in the right profession.
Yeah, correct.
Because their workouts are done in
spreadsheet style.
Yeah, which is bananas crazy to me.
It is.
I'm so not even anti-spreadsheet,
but just not good at it.
It's not a thing I have to do
in my daily job.
My wife, God bless her.
She is a fantastic,
she loves spreadsheets.
She will make one quick, fast,
and in a hurry.
And matter of fact,
she's been taking care of my hours at
the gym,
like submitting my hours every month and
whatnot.
And every month she goes,
you need to learn how to do this
on your own.
And I'm like,
but you're so good at it.
Every plan I've ever had in a CrossFit
workout...
has the wheels have come off the bus
probably a minute in.
So me planning anything is worthless
because it's just a waste of time.
Because the minute I get into a workout,
it didn't go the way I thought it
was going to go.
No, I mean,
whichever way you want to look at it,
whether it's everybody's got a plan until
they get punched in the mouth or no
plan survives contact with the enemy,
that type of deal,
it's all true for the most part.
If you are a regular, average,
everyday athlete,
you go into the gym and you look
at something and you go, oh,
I'm going to do this, this, this,
and this until the third this hits and
then all of a sudden shit just gets
sideways.
jose ramirez says check out the excel i
i don't know if this was a typo
or meant to be excel word championships
it's a thing um or is it world
championships
Oh, Word.
Yeah, no, it's World.
I don't know if they're combining two of
the Microsoft's Excel and Word.
One competition.
Have you ever put anything from Excel into
Word or put anything from Word to Excel
and it just completely detonated your
computer,
lit it on fire and called the cops
and shit because it doesn't work.
There was a time in my life where
I worked as a statistician.
Trust me.
I have moved things from Access, Excel,
and Word back and forth between all of
this stuff.
Yeah.
No, thank you.
Our producer,
who was a no-show today and will be
demerited for such,
six consecutive weeks at number one on the
U.S.
Billboard charts, hot one hundred,
and was named the second best performing
single of nineteen eighty two in the
United States,
keeping it in heavy rotation across the
globe.
And look who showed up to get rid
of that demerit.
Right.
As soon as you say she's going to
get demerit, like, oh, holy shit,
let me clock in.
clock in.
Dude.
The minute we get a time clock,
it's time to shut it down.
A hundred percent.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
When I was working construction,
I'm working for Gulf South Pylons.
This is freaking twenty years ago.
We go to the yard every now and
again to load up for another job or
whatever.
The yard guy in there, Pat,
we would mess with him sometimes because
he would wear
He'd have, like, camouflage pants on with,
you know,
like a football jersey or whatever else.
Like,
his hair was seventeen different
directions and whatnot.
And, you know, Pat, for real, like,
what happened to you, my brother?
And he said,
the day I got to come in here
looking good for you, MFers.
He said, the day I'm quitting this place.
That is a fair.
That's fair, my brother.
That is fair.
Trained with the punny humor,
how the pivot tables have turned.
I can't see the word pivot without knowing
that this... It's friends.
Little secret, little known fact.
When we do these shows and I shut
it all down and I walk away,
I can't remember a thing we talked about.
Oh, no.
God, no.
If it wasn't for Vicky making a thumbnail,
the times that she is not available to
do that,
I almost have to re-listen to the show
to then make the thumbnail because I can't
remember.
Now,
there are those epic moments where I
misspeak and that stays with me long after
the show is over.
I don't remember you ever saying anything
you weren't supposed to say.
It's kind of weird.
But for the most part,
we are so off the rails.
I have no idea what we've just talked
about.
Right.
oh yeah wow and it takes me back
to the time my wife booed survivors lead
guitarist off the stage
I'm just trying to picture it because
Julie's so nice.
Right?
And like the behind the scenes content
that like she just took it on herself
to film and whatnot.
And then the same person is like,
get off the stage.
You suck.
Her quote was, you're not Jimmy Page.
That's outstanding.
You guys aren't off the rails.
You just create your own rails.
That's a great way to put that.
That's fair.
That's fair.
That's fair.
You know what?
The fun part about that is I love
is that before we started Scott tech,
I got my notes together for the day
and I was like, Ooh,
we actually have stuff to talk about.
Cool.
Because I don't know if y'all figured it
out yesterday or not,
but we had absolutely no plan.
We were building the rails as we went.
Yeah, we had zero plans, zero direction,
none whatsoever.
It's kind of like the East-West Railroad
that everybody just kind of built it in
their own direction and hoped they met in
the middle.
Yeah, there was a whole lot of this.
I think it was an old Bugs Bunny
cartoon where they get to the middle and
they're like off by ten feet.
Like one's here and one's there.
Son of a bitch.
That's fantastic.
We ended on Crepe Nuts.
Hope to end better today.
We're going to do what we can, Mark.
Nothing sadder than a line of middle-aged
men in car hearts with igloo coolers lined
up at the time clock.
That was, that was when I was,
so in ninety-five, yeah,
summer of ninety-five,
I still had to punch a time cloud.
Working at McDermott Shipyard and we
punched in and punched out every single
day.
Like literally had to put all our time
chords on the wall.
Old school, baby.
Yeah, I'll never forget.
I went because I always had a time
clock until I worked for the state of
Ohio and the union somehow won a grievance
that made it so it wasn't so.
But before that,
I started with where you slid in the
card and it went right.
Yeah.
Then I got a job at this finance
company and, um,
and it was a plastic badge that you
just kind of swipe like a credit card.
Yeah.
And there was no,
there was no chung chung and I kind
of missed it there for a little while.
No,
the last couple jobs I had like in
the, uh,
in the plant when I was doing maintenance
stuff, that's what we had.
Just a little badge and you let you
in the gate and it took away all
your time and all the other good shit.
Well,
before we completely go off the rails,
there is a member of the Clydesdale crew
who qualified for the Rogue Invitational.
Was it Vicki?
We need to check.
I think she has the graphic so we
can double check if Vicki made it.
And there it is.
Rogue posted this today.
Wow,
that is not clear or my glasses need
cleaned.
On the male side, we have Fabian Hermans.
We have Nate Ackerman, Chris Ibarra,
and Bailey Martin.
None of those are Clydesdale crew.
As it turns out.
Bailey, give us a holler.
We'll put you on, my man.
And then female qualifiers are Emma Tall,
Jennifer Muir, and Carolyn Prevost.
Ironically, we're all at WFP last weekend.
Yeah.
How about that?
How about that?
Freaking Carolyn Prevost,
thirty six years old.
She's amazing.
They only take twenty.
They only take twenty.
And she qualified.
Killed it.
Killing the game.
She is like you said the other day,
aging like fine wine,
just getting better as she goes.
caroline took that one percent better
every day and ran with it yeah i
love you absolutely love it it's i this
season i mean she won the the thirty
five to thirty nine year old masters um
she's qualified for rogue she's killing
wfp winning events there um
It's like she has this rejuvenated
athletic career this year.
Is Carolyn Preville having the best year
ever?
For her?
I don't know because she's won, what,
twelve national championships in five
different sports?
That sounds right.
Sounds accurate.
This is just the CrossFit piece of it.
What about the other four sports?
Anna Anne fixing to launch her,
literally the stuff that people used to
launch themselves with, her Plyo program.
I mean, it's...
You can put the graphic down now, Vicki,
if you... There we go.
Yeah,
what a advertisement marketing piece for
Plyo by Prevo.
She had people at WFP after they saw
her combine wanting to get on board.
Oh,
my girl Hannah Horty is trying to give
her early access.
Right.
Hannah's like, no, no, no.
Hannah's like, no, no, no.
Let me beta test it.
Heel, yeah.
Heel, yeah.
That's the best pump-up vibe on this show.
If you get a heel, yeah, man,
you are.
You have an iPhone, more than likely.
I love this from Wayne.
Sorry, go ahead.
I love this from Wayne.
I'm sure they do,
but I hope her students understand and
appreciate what a badass she is and what
a role model.
So I've asked her this over and over
again.
Most of her students don't even know that
this is what she does in her spare
time.
Because she doesn't...
She doesn't broadcast.
She hasn't advertised.
Right.
She was so in her feelings about actually
taking off her shirt at WFP,
which she's never done before in
competition.
Um, like just that in and of itself.
And the reason she hasn't is because she
has all those kids that she teaches.
Right.
She doesn't want to put that out there
for them.
Um, uh, so I hope, I mean, because
If they look, they'll find it.
It's not hard to find, right?
It's on the internet.
All you gotta do is Google her.
I am certain you will get all of
those things.
But I hope they understand that, you know,
the kids that she's teaching,
they can see the value of hard work.
They can see, you know,
God, I hate to even say this,
hard work pays off.
Here's the other thing you have to
remember is that it was summer.
She just came back to class yesterday.
That was the first day of school for
her.
So she did all this stuff this summer
by winning the Masters Games, WFP,
qualifying for Oak,
all in the summertime when she doesn't
have students.
Right.
Right.
which is wild.
And yes, she is Benjamin Button, clearly.
So I am so proud of her.
Again,
I put out the reel this morning where
Tommy Marquez was telling me that she was
training the other athletes how to do both
the five-ten-five and the broad jump.
And he goes,
I can't believe she's giving them her
secrets.
And if you know Carolyn,
that's just who she is.
I mean, first of all, why not?
What's it going to hurt?
If they're going to jump further than her,
they're going to jump further than her.
It's her going, hey, look,
do it like this instead of like that.
If they have the capacity,
they're going to do it regardless.
And what's it going to hurt?
I never understood that.
That's one heel of a summer.
It is one heel of a summer.
Absolutely.
Now,
if you watch the whole reel at the
end, she goes,
I kind of knew I had a shot
at winning this thing.
If I didn't,
I probably wouldn't have helped them out.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Dude, the coach in most athletes...
I know most of us can't help ourselves,
especially at a master's event.
We're in the back watching people getting
warmed up for a snatch, and I'm like,
hey, man, you're doing this.
You should be doing this.
Hey, man, you're doing this.
You should be doing that.
Unsolicited advice happens in more warm-up
areas than you would probably be aware of
from other competitors because
I would say it's probably more of a
master's community thing because I don't
want them to do badly.
Right.
I just want to do better than them.
So like,
I don't want them to hurt themselves.
I don't want any of that kind of
stuff.
So I want you at your best so
that when I beat you, it feels good.
So I don't know if you guys know
this story.
I think I told it on here one
other time.
When I asked Carolyn to come on the
show and start being a contributor to the
show, she said,
I'll do the open and then that's all
I can commit to because I'm pretty busy.
Yeah.
That was two and a half years ago.
She didn't say which open.
And she,
I don't think she's missed more than a
handful of shows in two and a half
years.
And it's always,
it's never been because like, Oh,
I'm too tired or whatever.
It's because like she was traveling
somewhere or she had something that was
actually going on.
How about being a coach who judges?
It's really hard sometimes not to say
something during an event.
Sten, I am totally with you.
I mean,
I coached from fifteen to nineteen,
and I was a judge during half of
that time,
and it's really hard because when you're
judging, it's not about...
how the move how the move looks it's
did they hit the standard that's it and
it is so hard to shut that other
piece off in your head when you're judging
because you're only supposed to hit did
they hit the standard they they may have
looked like they were going to break their
spine in the middle of this but it
doesn't matter it looked like ariel's
strict breath
No,
that's one of the reasons why I hate
judging.
I really don't like it.
I'll do it at our gym for the
open because it's during the open.
Like I want to, I want everybody to,
you know,
to do well so I can judge and
also say, Hey man, look, pick it up.
Like, let's go, you know, Hey,
don't do this.
Don't do this or whatever the case may
be.
But as for like an actual comp.
Yeah, actual quote from Andrew Sten.
Man, that was a terrible squat,
but they got below parallel.
Yeah,
their knees were touching when they went
down and then all the way back up.
However,
they managed to get below parallel and get
all the way back up,
so here we are.
I'm sure Birch feels the same way.
Yeah, so that's it.
Congratulations, Carolyn.
That's awesome.
I also wanted to bring something up.
So I got called out on Instagram by
another media member that I've never met
in my life.
I don't even know... That's bold.
Let's see if I can find their name
here.
It doesn't matter.
But anyway, it's...
I think their posts,
when you go look at them,
and their profile is in another language.
So I think they're European.
But the story they put up calling me
out, and others as well,
was in full English.
So they knew enough to call me out.
And what is this in reference to?
This was in reference to Astrid Tins.
Okay.
Your look was like my look, right?
Holy smoke.
Okay.
And they went down and showed all the,
like that she was in the final heat
of the WFP at times and that she
was the highest finishing qualifier behind
paid Rogers by one point.
And like on, and I trust me,
Astrid Stinn is Astrid.
Now I can't even think of her name.
Whatever.
She is on my radar.
She killed the first day of Waterpalooza.
I have watched her at WFP.
Yes,
she is someone to look for in the
future.
I didn't say anything about her on a
reel or a show.
And so I am awful because all we
ever talked about are the top five.
so astrid tin that's what it's astrid tin
not astrid eleven or after nine it's a
whole different it's a whole different
people dude no come on so like literally
three cells of a story calling out me
and other mainstream media which there
wasn't that much at wfp right right like
so it's pretty much me yeah so it's
mostly just scott
holy smokes,
you didn't talk about this girl.
No,
there's a whole bunch of them I actually
also didn't talk about.
How about that?
Like, what else do you want to do?
There's a bunch of dudes I also did
not talk about whose names I also cannot
pronounce.
So maybe not.
I don't even think I even focused on
any one particular person.
We did talk about Emma Tall,
but in all fairness,
we haven't seen Emma Tall because she
didn't do the game season.
Correct.
We didn't see Laura Horvat because she
didn't do the game season.
So those were people that I hadn't seen
all year.
Now I'm seeing them in person,
and then I'm like, okay, I get this.
I want to see them.
I want to talk about them.
But really our main focus was Carolyn
Prevo because she's part of the family and
any other media outlet that would have a
member of their crew out on the floor,
they would talk about that individual.
And then other than that,
we were really just trying to give an
overarching view of the competition as a
whole.
That would be like,
if that would be like, if, uh,
the mayhem podcast came out and somebody
fussed at him for talking about paige
rogers and only paige rogers you guys were
just talking about paige rogers the entire
time well yeah she goes here so yeah
probably so holy smokes i talked about ty
jenkins a lot and he didn't finish in
the top five you're a horrible person
scott
It was you pick out moment.
And to be fair to Astrid,
my apologies up front,
she did not have a moment.
Yeah, overall in the weekend,
did she finish top ten?
I don't even know at this point because
she never had that moment that you're
going, wow, I need to talk about that.
Right.
She didn't win an event.
Like Amanda Jobs, we talked about her.
She finished like forty eighth,
but she won the ten K.
Carolyn won the combine,
so she gets talked about.
Ty Jenkins won the swim.
He gets talked about.
They had their moments.
Pat Vellner freaking blew his Achilles.
And then dropped a pig on his foot.
So, yeah,
we're going to probably talk about that.
Quinn Robinson didn't finish the weekend,
but he ran a four, four, forty.
You're going to get talked about.
It's weird how that works.
Weird how that works.
All this means is you finally made it.
I like this one up here that Vicky
starred.
Tell that person to whack off.
Yeah.
Wax on and whack off.
The whole country of Denmark hates Scott.
That's the one I want to play.
Everybody in Denmark now hates Scott.
Your travel options just got limited.
Sorry.
Is that where she's from?
Denmark?
She's Denmarkian?
My apologies.
I didn't do all my research on Astrid
Tinn before the show.
It turns out.
I was happy that I knew that she
did really well at Waterpalooza on day
one.
Right.
Now that Vicky's clocked in,
she can probably find out where Astrid
Tinn is from.
You're asking people online to be mature
and reasonable.
Come on, man.
It's so silly, dude.
Again,
it's like if somebody's coming up and
you're like, well, I mean, whoever,
pick somebody who finished top whatever,
finished top twelve.
You didn't mention them all weekend.
Well, no, of course I didn't.
There are like five hundred heats of
athletes at WFP.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
There's people all over the place.
I mean, come on.
Whoops.
Damn it.
Sorry.
You're going to get another mean mention
now.
Good.
Hey, it just means they're listening.
It means that they're listening.
Yes.
Good.
So good.
I have moments you don't talk about me.
We talk about you all the time.
We just can't say it on air.
We try not to get demonetized.
That person must eat plain Cheerios.
Plain Cheerios.
Or unfrosted shredded wheat.
Unfrosted shredded wheat.
Mattress stuffing.
Oh, my word.
I can't even.
I can't even.
Great job, whatever your name is.
Good job, you.
Hey,
who was that that just took seventh in
that event?
I don't know.
It was a female.
Not real sure, to be honest with you.
Is her name thing out there on the
floor?
No.
All right,
then I have absolutely no idea who that
is.
I'm going to have to go look at
Competition Corner and then try to
backpedal and figure it out from there.
Come on, man.
Be ready to talk about all the athletes
when Copenhagen comes around.
Oh, I better talk about Astrid Tinn.
That's her home country.
That's why Scott can't go to Copenhagen.
They've revoked my visa.
They've revoked his visa.
His travel just got way limited.
And talk about going full circle.
I don't know if people know this.
That reminds me of the old Real Men
of Genius commercials.
Do you know who sang that commercial?
Yes, I do.
The lead singer of Survivor.
That is a full, full, full circle moment.
I love it.
I absolutely love it.
Real man of genius.
I actually bought the CD of that because
I thought they were so funny.
Yeah.
It had all the commercials.
Those are so good, dude.
Those are so good.
See, he accidentally fell into it.
yeah here's to you mister and just
whatever some random bullshit so good dude
oh commercial style would be like here's
to you mr chalks up for a echo
bike ride yeah so here's to you mr
calls out member of the media for not
pointing out someone finished in the top
twelve that's
congratulations so i would i would love to
ask anybody who watched wfp this weekend
how much they thought about astrid tin
during their viewing experience
I would love to ask him if they
know who she is.
Let's start there.
Let's start there.
Let's back up a little bit and like,
oh, did you watch WFP?
Yes, I did.
Cool.
Did you watch Astrid Ten?
And if they go, who's that?
Then you can just stop the conversation
right there.
How did Astrid Ten do?
Who?
And they can't be Brian Friend.
It can't be Brian Frank or Patrick Clark
or, yeah,
like none of those guys who actually was,
you know,
had been in it the entire time.
Yeah.
Tell me who Astrid,
does John Young know who Astrid Ten is?
Let's find out.
Let's find out.
I know she finished in the top fifty.
I know she was somewhere in the top
fifty.
She was in a heat.
retired steve i was there and thought wait
who yeah there you go thank you thank
you um she is tall i'm not even
sure she's tall i think she's just thin
that's entirely possible
So let me... Where is it?
So everybody saw...
the weekend review and like dave put john
young he spelled it like this right like
he spelled it completely just that's not
right that's not how you spell john
young's name when i went to legends the
first time in i had my washed up
my uh keep chasing shirt with when brian
when john had called brandon washed up and
so it says washed up and said john
young on the bottom of it
And I met a dude there.
I took a picture with him,
an Asian dude whose name is John Young.
And he thought that was the funniest thing
he had ever seen because he was like,
do you know me?
And I said, what are you talking about?
Because I had it on.
And he's like,
can I take a picture with you and
your shirt?
Because it says my name on the back
of it.
And I was like,
your name is John Young?
And he was like, yeah.
I was like, cool.
And so when I saw this,
that's the first thing that came to mind.
Sorry.
Did you see outside the box?
Nope.
Sure didn't.
I can promise you I did not see
that.
Well, they did a post.
They're going to have John Young on.
What?
And the picture is the Asian John Young.
And it's spelled the Asian way.
But then the caption is John Young,
one of the most recognized voices in the
space from Barbell Spin.
I was confused.
I thought they were messing with us.
You just confused me.
That's funny.
Maybe Vicky can find it real quick outside
the box office.
Is that the name of their show?
I don't.
Okay.
Sorry.
Was I speaking French?
You just assumed it in Denmarkian,
whatever they speak over there.
There it is outside the box.
That is John young.
And then if you can pull up the,
the caption,
can you blow that up a little bit?
That looks like if pool boy and John
young had a baby,
one of the most recognizable voices in the
CrossFit space joins us on outside the box
for a proper deep dive into his entry
in CrossFit.
And then it appeared even we're joined by
John young from barbell spin at the top,
bro.
I am confused.
Was it supposed to?
Yeah, I think Stan nailed it.
AI for the win.
That's got to be, dude.
But don't you double check?
No.
Of course not.
I did an AI when Vicky wasn't here.
I did one and I told it to
give me Pat Vellner.
And the picture that came up was not
Pat Vellner.
But it had a Pat Vellner CrossFit jersey
on.
And I was like,
could you give me the real Pat Vellner?
Yeah.
Could you give me the actual Pat Vellner?
Not whoever this dude is that sells
Toyotas in freaking Ontario.
That's not the right Pat Vellner.
Wow.
I'm telling you, that's like...
It has Joy Sears and it has...
I'm telling you,
that looks like if Pool Boy and John
Young had a baby,
that's what it would look like.
Holy smoke.
That is one hundred percent A.I.
Yeah, I don't know.
Anyway, T-Bird says,
I see Laura Post with Astrid Tinn a
lot.
Is Kristoff her coach or are her and
Laura good?
Again, T-Bird.
Like I noticed her at Waterpalooza.
I noticed her at this,
but there was no epic moment for me
to like share.
And that is the extent of what, again,
it's a hundred athletes.
Those two questions.
Those two questions right there is why
Scott can't go to Denmark anymore.
because nobody knows because he certainly
doesn't know oh my god the best was
the chinese graphics in the t-shirt yes
like just as much just right across the
chest oh and uh jy had hair in
that pic correct and no he's never been
that lean not in his whole life all
right judy what did that shirt say
She'll give me some sort of.
All I can think of is,
was it you that got the Chinese?
It's on my back.
You have no idea if it actually says
what you asked.
Nope.
I got that in nineteen ninety seven.
Yeah.
Could tell you if it's if it's accurate
or not.
They those graphics translate to General
Tso's chicken.
Hey, bro,
don't hate on General Tso's chicken.
I love me some General Tso's chicken.
Earlier,
someone said John Young sponsored by Panda
Express.
Absolutely.
A hundred percent.
That's my son's favorite food is the
orange chicken at Panda Express.
I already would tear that up.
I, I don't have, I,
here we go again.
I, I don't get the Panda Express thing.
I don't know.
I don't think it's good at all yet.
They are everywhere.
Yeah, no, I don't.
They're getting is as popular as
Starbucks.
And I don't go there either.
No,
I'm sure there's probably a Panda Express
across the street from a Panda Express,
just like there's a Starbucks across the
street from a Starbucks.
That was Chinese for I eat plain Cheerios.
I eat plain Cheerios.
It says, I'm not that John Young.
Right?
I ain't that John Young.
I'm a whole different John Young.
Ancient Chinese secrets.
Thanks.
Fine, Judy.
Don't tell us.
um yes megan is correct the best chinese
food are the ones that probably should not
be open that is if they got the
orange sticker on the door i'm in nothing
like a good uh kung pao chicken with
some salmonella on the side oh man i
love kung pao chicken brings out the
flavor just uh
You know what I also found?
This will probably get me canceled.
The best Chinese restaurants I've ever
been to have been filled with Mexican
people.
Yeah.
Oh, absolutely.
And the best Mexican restaurants are
filled with Asian people.
If INS,
which I guess they refer to as ICE
now, shows up to a, you know,
a Chinese restaurant,
like the kitchen staff is probably going
to,
like you probably got to hire your kitchen
staff, more than likely,
because there's all a bunch of Mexicans.
They make the best Chinese food.
Yeah.
Sorry, it's true.
I wasn't even talking about the kitchen
staff.
I was talking about the people eating.
That too.
Dude,
I haven't been to a good one in
quite some time.
But there used to be one,
or actually it's probably still in
Thibodeau,
called Lynn's that was phenomenal.
Absolutely phenomenal.
Judy asks,
have you all seen the mullet guy eating
all the Chinese buffets until he gets food
poisoning?
Yes.
Yes, I have.
Unfortunately, he goes up, dude.
He's got I don't know if he's got
meta glasses on or if he just got
his phone mounted because he goes up to
the buffet and like he reads whatever it's
supposed to be.
We are back to the buffet.
Yeah, he gets it,
puts it on his plate,
comes back down and like films himself
tasting it, trying it.
And you get out.
Oh,
I don't know if that's right type deal.
Fantastic, dude.
Fantastic.
This will probably get me canceled.
Proceeds to say it.
It's all right.
We already got canceled in Denmark.
It's just the first country.
I'm just checking off the countries one by
one around the world.
Starting off in Europe.
No big deal.
This show is really popular in Russia.
I don't know if y'all knew that or
not.
The bougies at the buffet.
Over there at the buffet.
Yes, indeed.
Meg says the best ones are where the
kids are running the register.
That's also correct.
Yeah.
The one in Thibodeau was like that.
Like,
twelve-year-olds are running the register.
I like this from Terry.
The best Chinese restaurant,
my Chinese daughter-in-law does all the
ordering in Mandarin.
Never know what we're getting,
but it's always good.
That's outstanding.
I would, I would one hundred percent,
I would go eat with Terry and her
Chinese daughter-in-law.
That's amazing.
I went to an authentic Chinese restaurant
here in Columbus.
were things on that table that i i
could not i don't ask questions i don't
ask questions don't care don't care i
can't tell you how much i love chinese
food dude and i don't eat it often
anymore um for obvious reasons because
like i would be nine hundred pounds if
i let myself do that but i really
love chinese food i just don't ask
questions like what is this
All right.
Yeah.
Bring me that.
And when it arrives at a table,
it looks nothing like what I expect it
to look like.
And I don't care because it's delicious.
Yeah.
I, I used to be that way.
Like I would try anything now.
I'm just Chinese food, Indian food,
big fan, Indian food.
I got two more items I got to
get to before we quit.
And one is,
can you pull up the Sporty Beth thing,
Doc?
no there's this thing there is so
apparently sporty beth suffered a spinal
cord cord injury get out did she really
yeah so there is her sister made a
post um that i sent to vicky and
um she had spinal surgery and they started
a gofundme account um you can go here
uh it is
ellie gregor uh to to read up on
it i'm not going to read it all
to you guys um it does not say
how she suffered it but you can see
the x-rays where they had to insert pins
and rods um but well that's terrible
But I know we make fun of her.
I know that she has been attacked in
this crazy way.
I would be the first one to say
I pick on her a whole lot,
but I don't want anybody,
don't see anybody have to deal with any
of that kind of stuff.
Yeah, I mean, she's a human being,
and I don't, this first and foremost,
and I actually,
before all of the stuff transpired,
she had a documentary and I had a
documentary both by the CrossFit
Yep.
Headquarters that came out one week apart.
And so I got to know her prior
to all this stuff.
Um,
and then we grew apart for a little
bit.
So, uh,
i but i still feel for her and
she has a two-year-old daughter like
that's got to be rough yep and uh
thoughts and prayers out to her and her
family and hope that everything goes okay
but they did start a gofundme account of
gofundme account if you feel the urge to
donate yeah uh the only thing that it
says in there shanna is that it's
somewhere in the neck and they actually
named the
the discs that were affected but they
don't say how it happened or anything like
that i am curious as far as that
part is concerned but that's just i like
how stuff works so there's that and the
last thing i wanted to talk about real
quick because i don't want to end on
a sad note is that my quarterback caleb
williams was on hot ones today oh
And it was amazing.
He made it through all ten.
And after doing them,
he was fine until Da Bomb at eight.
When I did it,
seven is what jacked me up.
And then Da Bomb added on top of
it, which was brutal.
But they asked him about the craziest
thing he did preparing to be a quarterback
in the NFL.
And he said that he, as a kid,
wanted to have the perfect arm motion.
So he practiced without actually throwing
a ball because he watched the Karate Kid
play.
And the whole wax on, wax off thing.
Oh, my Lord.
I figured that was going to be a
good idea.
And so he would do...
It worked for Daniel LaRusso.
He would, like, get into position, back,
and he would just do the positions.
Because it worked for Daniel LaRusso,
it had to work for him.
Clearly,
he won the All-Valley Chorotic Tournament.
Oh, my word.
Um...
The Bengals and the NFL in general have
been putting out a whole bunch of stuff
with Joey B. Apparently,
he's bought a telescope.
Did you see that?
I did.
they're like what kind of telescope he's
like i don't know when i see space
he's such he is such a dude like
i mean granted i got to watch him
you know at lsu do his thing over
here and whatnot and he was always kind
of a character a little bit um but
the more stuff that he that you know
they put out about him like he is
just such a it's just a weird lot
down to earth
into middle-aged men shit dude who also
happens to be one of the best quarterbacks
in the league it's insane dude avera i
know that you always disagree with me i
am not i am not a doctor i
have never pretended to be a doctor right
i don't know l from t from s
no and i think i was abundantly clear
that i did not know what her injury
was
I just know she had surgery.
She got some metal stuff in the spine.
Hope she's okay.
But anyway, yeah,
the Joe Burrow stuff is great.
And he is a legend here in Ohio.
He grew up in Ohio.
And then he went over to Cincinnati.
He was a river boy down there in
Athens.
So.
But the best part for me of the
Caleb interview was Sean says, hey,
I'm going to mention Hall of Fame
quarterbacks, or not Hall of Fame,
great quarterbacks.
Tell me the first thing that comes to
your mind.
And so he started with Randall Cunningham,
and he said, well, he's got a hose.
Like that man can,
like the throw I made against the Rams
last year,
he could go back twenty more yards and
still make the same throw.
that's fair and then they said uh tom
brady and he goes just killer like
mentally just a killer and uh aaron rogers
magician like and then he said well caleb
williams and he goes all of the above
hey god bless if you're a quarterback i
think you have to have that a little
bit out in you i think you really
really do um
know that a little bit of humble but
a little bit of yeah i'm about to
i'm about to pull i'm about to pick
y'all apart uh type deal speaking of joe
burrow just because you brought him up and
you always bring him up and you always
send me stuff about him and like i
think that you are in love with joe
burrow have you seen him he's a handsome
man so jamar chase is starting a podcast
with
can never get her name right but she's
like a famous influencer that does nfl
stuff where she plays like the different
teams she wears like shirts with their it
doesn't matter no clue they're starting
podcast together and the first guest is
going to be joe burrow
mean it's as best as bff so i
can understand that and so they are
promoting the hell out of it right now
like instagram is full of clips of jamar
and joe talking oh that must have been
the one i saw with it yeah because
he was he went joe went through joey
went through a whole play
that happened like last year sometime and
like he gave the entire like of
everything's like yeah i dropped back and
then i turned this way and then you
ran this way and then i kind of
turned my body a little bit to kind
of get it right where yep and like
just hearing him do that bro that
something he's got some tism but it's like
the good it's a it's one that's good
for football apparently tyson has that
in the press conferences after the
preseason game, he was like, oh yeah,
they were in this coverage,
and the safety pulled up by three yards,
so I knew that I had the shot
over the
I think that's a thing that the modern
quarterback has to have.
You have to see all that in a
split second.
But the fact that they retain it is
what blows my mind.
Because Drew Brees did the same thing.
I remember that he had a game where
he only threw six incompletions.
If you know how much the Saints threw
the ball while he was in there,
only having six incompletions in a game
was insane.
ridiculous right and he went through all
six of them in the press conference the
same way Joey B did did that and
was like yeah if I could have you
know this instead of that we probably
could have put it right there where he
could have caught it and whatnot it's like
that's wild dude
um she's hilarious check her out corey
yeah her name's like annie akars like
something like that we're not real good
with names around here we should probably
right and she's a fan so and she's
a packers fan so i don't really care
she is funny though like her stuff is
really really funny she takes like the
week that just happened in the nfl and
she puts on different t-shirts for every
team
Annie Agar.
And she acts like the executives or the
coach or whatever from those teams and
their response to the stupid thing they
did that weekend.
Got it.
Yeah, I like that.
Yeah,
I've seen the new quarterback on Netflix.
It was great.
While I was watching it,
the Jaden Daniels news came out about
suing LSU and all that.
So then I had a completely different
perspective of him the rest of the way
through.
But I love the Flacco stuff a lot.
I love the Baker Mayfield stuff a lot.
High fours, y'all.
uh favorite quote from mr t in the
not another teen movie uh believe in the
ball throw yourself believe in the ball
and throw yourself um oh mr t there's
a mr t documentary yep is it out
or is it fixing to be out
I think it's fixing to be out.
Not that I've ever said that in my
life.
You're welcome.
You're welcome.
I am one hundred percent watching that.
That's going to be good.
That's going to be good.
I did watch the I'll get the on
the untold with Reagan on Netflix the
other night.
How was that?
And underwhelming if I'm being completely
honest.
That's the thing with untold is either
it's great or it's meh.
And that one was mad because I was
waiting for because they hype you up,
right?
They pull you in with the various
allegations and whatnot.
And then you find out that none of
the allegations were true.
She just sucks.
Scott will be going to the buffet soon
enough.
I don't know.
Scott doesn't strike me as a buffet.
Well,
because I said I repeated your fix into.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
I mean, come on, man.
Mr.
T had his own cereal in the eighties.
He did.
He did.
They were, they were little teas.
And he had a,
he also had a cartoon with him and
some kids that did gymnastics for some
reason.
I would never forget.
I will never understand what the
connection between Mr.
T and gymnastics was.
I don't think I've ever seen Mr.
T do a backflip.
Not once.
Nope.
Nope.
Never seen him do a cartwheel.
Not even a four-wheel.
No.
No.
I ain't seen him jump on up in
the rings and do some muscle-ups and an
iron cross.
Did Mr. T ever do an iron cross?
No, he didn't.
Why didn't Mr. T come up yesterday?
Because the cereal sucked.
Cereal sucked.
It was bad.
It wasn't good.
I had a box.
At least one.
That dude looked the same his entire life.
Look at that.
Gilbert Lang.
Mm-hmm.
B.A.
Baracus.
Two of the greatest characters ever in
Hollywood.
Pity the fool.
How about that wife of yours?
She's looking pretty.
oh maybe she want to come home with
me and be with a real man fantastic
dude netflix september eighth well i know
where corey will be oh i'm gonna i'm
you can bet i'm watching that you write
that you write in stone you can write
it wherever you need to you can bet
i am one hundred percent going to watch
that look at peter benoit and those upside
down setups were solid in rocky three he
is correct yeah
Peter Benoit is a great human being, FYI.
I sat in bullshit with him at Monster
Games for probably a solid hour after we
got done.
Avera wants to know,
is Kiffin a hero or a bust at
LSU?
I'll tell you Saturday night.
You're giving him one game as head coach
of LSU.
I'm not.
To make the determination, hero or bust?
I'm not.
You LSU fans are crazy.
But I know how the fan base is.
I know how the fan base is,
and if Clemson comes to town and we
don't beat the brakes off of them,
there are going to be people calling for
his head after the first game.
What do you think about Dabo Sweeney
staying in his lane?
Good.
Staying in his lane.
Staying in my lane.
In my lane.
In my lane.
Good, Dabo.
You do that.
out of their minds that's what i love
about sports man the pettiness the back
and forth
And so many people in the CrossFit space
take offense to that stuff.
Which makes no sense to me whatsoever.
If you ever want to be a real
sport, that is what it's about.
Like I said this over the weekend or
on Monday,
being with Jamie and fighting over all the
shit we saw at WFP made it more
fun.
It wasn't that we hated each other.
It's that we're debating everything.
And that's what makes it fun.
Yeah.
No,
I will not be at Tiger Stadium this
Saturday.
First of all, you couldn't pay me.
It's sold out.
And the stadium holds a hundred and like
eight thousand people and it's completely
sold out.
So first of all,
even if I wanted to go, I couldn't.
Secondly, no,
I'm not going to be there for Lane
Kiffin's first game against Clemson.
Like that's going to be an insane time.
They're going to be they're going to start
tailgating probably tomorrow.
Like the RVs and shit start getting there
and parking tomorrow afternoon.
They'll be greased up and lubed up from
tomorrow all the way through Saturday
until kickoff Saturday night.
No,
I don't want nothing to do with that.
I got a sixty five inch TV.
I can watch it on and go to
the bathroom whenever I feel like.
kiffin gets fired mid-season and ogeron
steps in as interim coach that's not gonna
happen uh wayne short one can only hope
joseph dude lane kiffin is so good for
sports yeah you may hate him to death
but good god he gives us something to
talk about that is not just well they
ran a post route here and like come
on pretty much
It's more down there.
It's more like which LSU cheerleader is
Lane going to try to nail this week?
Did you see that the Athletic concluded
their internal investigation into the
Diana Rossini-Mike Vrabel situation?
No, I did not.
And their finding was that while the
relationship did not meet the standards of
ethics that they hold true at the
Athletic,
they did not see any kind of preferential
treatment for Mike Vrabel or the New
England Patriots.
Okay.
That's the way of saying we don't want
to deal with this,
so we're not going to.
That's hilarious.
She gone, so we'll say, yeah,
it didn't meet our code of conduct,
but we by no means gave any preferential
treatment while she was here.
Sure you didn't.
uh no ken walters uh no not at
all mostly they're drinking beer and a
whole lot of it there'll be some people
drinking mixed drinks and um but no
hurricanes that's a whole thing in and of
itself
No, not at all.
Mark,
it actually won't be that bad because it's
a night game.
I looked at the temperature earlier.
If you're sitting in one part of this
section of the stadium where the sun is
still beating on you as it's going down
below the stadium,
those people are probably going to get it
pretty bad.
But it's actually been fairly decent once
the sun goes down here at night.
So it won't be as horrible as it
could be because it could be pretty bad.
And you got game day there this weekend.
And game day there, yes.
Which is, that's another reason to not go.
I do,
and I got to coach Saturday morning,
so I want to get it done and
get back so I can watch game day
because the signs behind game day are
going to be epic.
yes yes the the humor that that this
world has and can fit it on a
yeah poster board size sign is amazing and
you know it is going to be lane
kiffin left and right absolutely
absolutely they're gonna be it it's gonna
be so good dude it's gonna be so
good um and in there
Clemson's going to bring there.
Have you ever seen Clemson's mascot?
The tiger?
Yeah, their tiger.
The person that dresses up.
It looks sick.
I don't know.
Not like, oh man, that's sick.
I'm a Penn State fan.
Our lion is about the cheesy.
It looks like a guy in a onesie
with a lion head on it.
But yet, he is beloved at Penn State.
Oh, yeah.
So it just is.
The Buckeye at Ohio State is the dumbest
mascot ever,
and yet they sell Brutus the Buckeye shit
everywhere in this town.
I never understood.
There's several college mascots.
It's Where's Waldo with a nut on his
head.
Correct.
There's several college mascots I don't
understand.
My favorite one of all time,
UC Santa Cruz banana slugs.
Yep.
That is a thing.
And the first time I saw it,
I was like,
I need a UC Santa Cruz banana slug
t-shirt so bad it's not even funny.
Do you know what I do in a
onesie?
I drink thirdsy because I'm getting ready
for bed.
Y'all now know that Scott sleeps in a
onesie.
You're welcome.
Dude,
I got nine hours of sleep last night.
It was a beautiful thing.
It was nine hours of non-interrupted
sleep.
That's all because of third Z. Um,
You can get yours, Jazzy.
Check out, fifteen percent off.
Or go to thirdsy.com backslash Jazzy and
get that fifteen percent off.
New flavor is going to get to my
house next Tuesday.
Ooh.
So.
It's a surprise, folks.
I know it has something chocolate about
it.
Oh, well,
that's a pretty big indicator right there.
Yeah,
so it's not going to be like the
lemonade.
It's going to be back into that
winter-ish, fall-ish.
They're going seasonal, apparently.
Yeah.
Does your onesie have slippery feet?
Only my wife knows.
Can you buy adult pajamas with feet?
Because I would.
I absolutely, I say that.
I probably wouldn't because I'd have to
get, I sleep with no shoes on,
no socks.
I can't,
I can't have anything on my bed.
Pumpkin spice.
No, Megan, stop.
What's wrong with you?
Yuck.
I am so over pumpkin.
And don't forget to get your t-shirts too.
Venmo me, cash at me, name, address.
