what is going on everybody
welcome to lunch with the
Clydesdale we are cooking
it up Cajun because it's
Wednesday and we missed
last week and I need a
little something spicy this
week so how y'all are
what's happening um never
did I think this morning
when I woke up and got out
of bed that I would be
having a conversation about
Mary Steenburgen that would
delay the start of this broadcast
And yet, here we are.
And here we are.
I mean, dude, like I said,
she's been everybody's mom
on camera a whole lot.
I just looked it up.
She's seventy two.
She looks good for being
seventy two years old.
Like.
Yeah, I am.
one of my, like when I'm not in the cross,
when I'm trying to escape
from the CrossFit news,
like one of the podcasts I
listened to is Ted Danson
has one called where
everybody knows your name.
And he basically just has
friends of his on and she is his wife.
And so she does appear on
that a handful of times, but it's,
I really love that podcast.
And yeah, not how we got on,
not how we got on the subject.
No, not at all.
But I mean, we came full circle.
We came full circle.
So you were on a boat.
I was on the Norwegian Encore,
as a matter of fact.
Sailed out of Seattle, up to Anchorage,
Alaska,
on to... Where was the second stop?
Uh...
Third one was in Ketchikan.
The second one was in a
place that doesn't sound
like a real name.
It'll come to me in a minute.
And then one stop in Victoria,
British Columbia,
and then back to Seattle.
Seven days.
Seven days.
God, it's dogged.
What was the name of that
second place that we stopped at?
It doesn't sound like a real name.
It sounds like somebody made up.
I'm sure it's some sort of Alaskan.
What's that?
Juno?
No, not Juno.
The second one.
You know Juno was named after a person?
Uh, no, it was some,
it's somebody's last name.
The reason why I know that
is because I was telling
him my father-in-law picked
us up from the airport
Monday and he was asking us about it.
I mean, obviously I said, uh,
let me tell you something.
I said, all of the,
like every tour guide that
we had for like excursions and whatnot,
like the people that we
talked to going here, there and yonder,
uh,
They were all either
extremely knowledgeable and
very good at their jobs,
or they made it up as they
went along so well that you
couldn't tell the difference,
one or the two.
But one of the things we
found out was that Juno was named after a,
if I remember right,
it was a gold prospector
whose last name was Juno.
And he was so bad at his job
that he ended up being one
of the people that helped
to form the town, in a nutshell.
which was bananas crazy to
me when we found that out.
Gosh, dog, it is driving me nuts, Scott.
I'm going to catch a can.
Take a week's vacation, man,
and your brain just shuts off.
Oh, absolutely.
To the point where, like,
so when we did get service,
when I was able to get
service on my phone, I mean,
now and again,
we get text messages from friends of ours,
right?
And I'm a coach at my gym.
One of my best friends is
also a coach at a gym.
His wife texted our little
group that we have and was like,
I need the code to get in
the door to the gym.
Nobody's here and I'm about
to pee my pants.
By the time I saw it,
it dawned on me that it
would not come immediately to mind.
We got a keypad to get in
the gym and I went,
even if I had saw this in time,
I don't know what it is right now.
It just – I was in the
fitness center on the boat,
and like the – it just – it
wouldn't come to mind at all whatsoever.
Just like the name of this
town I'm trying to think of
that we stopped in.
What I find with like key
codes and stuff like that
is I almost – it's almost
like muscle memory.
My thumb knows the code, but my brain –
may not know the code does
that make sense hundred
hundred percent yeah that's
why I she ended up getting
it um but it I thought the
same thing I was like if I
was standing in front of
the door I could do it but
like I am however many
thousands of miles away and
I have absolutely no idea
like it's drawing a blank completely
Yeah,
we have like an eight-digit state ID
when I log into work,
and that's my username for everything,
right?
I've had it for twenty-two years.
Like, literally,
I just go to like the nine
pad and just
tick-a-tick-a-tick-a-tick-a-tick.
Like, there's no even thought.
The brain doesn't even tell
my fingers what it is.
My fingers already know.
It's not.
Your brain's not even
involved at that point.
Yeah.
Yeah,
as far as conscious thought is concerned.
No.
Alaska is absolutely incredible.
I can't think of a better way to put it,
at least the parts that we saw,
which wasn't a whole lot of
it because the place is so
they always talk about the
fact that like landmass wise,
it's the biggest state in the union,
right?
So we were going to bingo
one day on the boat and we
got there early to get our
cards and whatnot.
Wow.
And they were having a presentation.
Party time.
Party time on the cruise.
My wife is a bingo freak, dude.
They played twice.
We went twice.
Boy, I played at least twice.
They played three times.
Did you get crazy and go dauber?
Like ink dauber?
No, there's no dauber on the boat.
Oh, no.
It's actually,
so they give you the card
with all the numbers on it.
And you got to punch it in
and like fold it down.
But don't tear it off.
Because if you do it, boy, it's cold.
I know this because he told
us seventeen different times.
Anyway,
they were having a presentation on
Alaska.
Dude, just if it has the tweet.
I know, dude.
It just threw me off completely.
They had a presentation on
Alaska beforehand, right?
And one of the things the
dude said was like,
everybody knows it's the biggest state,
but to give you an idea of how big it is,
they put it over the US map
and it took up a third of the state.
Excuse me, of the country.
It was absolutely insane.
We didn't see...
I mean, we saw three towns.
And actually,
we didn't even get off in
Ketchikan because we
weren't going to be there real long.
It was a twenty minute car
ride into town from where
we had to dock at.
And then it was going to be
like an hour boat ride back.
Got there early in the
morning and we had a balcony room.
And literally, I saw it,
looking out the window,
seeing this coming into port.
Okay,
we're docking because I was already up.
And you look out the window
and it was raining sideways.
And it was forty-five degrees.
And Jennifer was like, absolutely not.
And then the people that
were on the boat that we
knew that actually went into town,
came back and said,
y'all made the right call.
It was absolutely miserable.
But other than that, dude, like,
it's flat where I live, right?
It's there's,
so like anytime I get to see mountains,
especially mountains with
snow on top of them and whatnot,
it's something for me,
but it's unspoiled.
It's got, like,
I can't think of a better way to put it.
Like there's not stuff everywhere, right?
It is just mountains and
ocean or mountains with
trees on them and snow, glaciers,
glaciers were absolutely incredible.
I mean, the whole thing was,
I would like to go back not on a boat,
like maybe fly into Juneau
because you cannot drive
into Juneau and stay and do
a lot more hiking and stuff like that.
The world's second largest
rainforest is in Alaska.
Did you know that?
I did not.
Because I didn't.
Yes, sir.
I'm learning all about
Alaska history today.
Well, I mean, you can be asked.
um but yeah it was uh it was
awesome glacier bay see a
bunch of glaciers really
the boat just goes in for a
couple hours and does a
bunch of turning and
whatnot so everybody on the
boat gets an opportunity to
see uh was I mean it was
wild it really really was I
don't see like that it's
got I mean it gets cold at
my house for like three
days out of the year
So, I mean,
just be around a place where
you can see all the snow and everything.
We did the train ride up
into the mountains and then
back like three thousand feet up.
And so I saw some of the
guys at the gym when I was coaching.
You got to ride the pool or express?
Yeah, just pretty close.
I mean, we had snacks.
We had snacks and we drove
through some pretty frozen country.
But.
looking at it,
being on it and really
thinking about like the
engineering that it took to
blast chunks of this
mountain out without
bringing the mountain down
on top of your head, by the way,
and then laying the track
and getting everything going there.
Just that in and of itself,
like the stuff that mankind has done is,
it's my, it truly is mind blowing.
And I was back in the, you know,
early nineteen hundreds,
whatever it was in Gold Rush time,
because before that, where the train was,
it was just a path that
people use going up the mountain.
And I was telling Jennifer, I was like,
the first people that came
up here had absolutely no
idea where they were going.
They just trusted in the
fact that this looks like a path.
We should go this way.
And it's at the top of Scott,
there was that the blue ice,
the blue light glacier ice
that it's so frozen and so
dense that the only light
that shines through it is
blue was on the top of that
mountain in a frozen lake
right on the side of us.
It's cold.
It's cold.
We did this in the end of May,
the beginning of June,
it was nine degrees at home.
It was not nine degrees on
top of the mountain.
So the fact that people did
it with pack mules and
basically just walking up there.
They were tougher.
They were tougher than us back then.
Oh, God, yes.
Not even close.
T-Bird says,
come to Canada to the Rocky
Mountain in Alberta.
It would be cheap for you
with the American dollar
being so much better than ours.
I've heard this beautiful there.
And it's actually pretty
much like straight up from
where my daughter is now.
Right.
Like from Montana up, it's.
So, yeah,
that'd be something that's really cool.
Yeah,
and so I can now say I've been to Canada,
albeit for an hour and a half or so,
when we got off the boat in Victoria,
got off, walked up to Fisherman's Wharf,
hung out over there for a little bit,
like saw what they had to see right there,
walked a little bit further in every town,
came back because that was
our second to last date and we were done.
I love going places, but I hate traveling.
Does that make sense?
The getting to there is what sucks.
Usually the getting to there
I can even tolerate because
there's the excitement of getting there.
The getting from there is like the worst.
so monday my monday travel
day wasn't wasn't bad
coming home um we got to
the airport saturday to fly
up there and we were
supposed to leave at noon
and arrive in seattle by
like six six thirty and
when we got to the airport
no it was not jeff it was
not the few canadians that
we interacted with seemed
pretty nice how about that
they seem they seem friendly enough
But yeah, Saturday on the way going,
as soon as we got to the airport,
the guy that was checking
our bags was like,
your plane is already
thirty five or forty minutes late,
something like that.
He said it might only leave
you twenty minutes to make
your connecting flight.
Y'all will probably be
better off getting on if I
put you on a different flight.
The problem is that the
different flight had a two
and a half hourly over in Phoenix.
So we ended up getting to Seattle.
I think that's how we got to
the airport or got to the hotel.
Rather, it was nine thirty,
ten o'clock that night.
And we were done by that point.
Like we flew from New Orleans to Phoenix,
stayed in Phoenix until we had to leave,
flew from there to Oakland,
sat on the runway in Oakland,
like don't get off the
plane type stuff because
this plane is going on to Seattle.
So that was another hour and
a half just literally
chilling inside the airplane in Seattle,
in Oakland before we flew on to Seattle.
I don't recommend that.
I don't.
it's more than one layover
like I'm I'm out here's a
couple hundred extra bucks
I'll just yeah we have a
whole lot of options at
that point so that was the
best one um that that we
could possibly do and the
dude shout out to you that
that did it I got it done
for us because he just told
us and it was like
this is probably a better
option in terms of literally told him,
Hey man, you're the expert.
Like if you say this is going to work,
then that's fine.
When they get into town late, it's like,
it doesn't matter.
We're not actually leaving
until tomorrow anyway.
So, so we ended up doing.
Well, I'm glad you had a good time,
brother, but we,
we have to keep this pretty
short today because I do
have one o'clock meeting.
Um,
I have to ask you as a CrossFit addict,
when it comes to podcasts,
you watch all of them.
You're also,
you don't have the
self-service you normally have.
How long,
how many days did it take you to
stop shaking?
Believe it or not, I was good, dude.
It's actually, and you forget about it,
but like once you don't
have service for a little
while and you just kind of,
focused on being present in the moment,
it's way better than what we normally do.
Like,
obviously we didn't get to do our
show Wednesday.
That kind of sucked.
But beyond that,
I was just usually mostly
taking my picture,
using my phone to take
pictures while we were
wherever we were and to as
a timer and for a music
player for when I went and
worked out in the fitness center.
Other than that, it was a time piece.
I've gotten to where I have
a couple times a day where
I take an hour break from my phone.
I put it away and I don't do
anything with it for a couple hours.
Unless it's like a big weekend,
I need to know what's going
on for something.
But generally,
and one of those times is
like dinner time,
the hour around dinner time.
Phone goes away.
I'm present with my wife.
We talk about what's going
on and things like that.
And it is a whole lot better.
But I want to talk a little
bit about the weekend.
We've talked about it a lot
with the Sunday show and
yesterday when I got back.
But one thing I didn't
really get to talk about
was the whole Brookwell situation.
And there's been a little
bit of kind of fun updates to it,
I guess.
Fun in my opinion, not like...
Woo-hoo-wee-hee is fun, but like,
you know.
Right.
Not roller coaster fun.
So I was watching Boys Interrupted,
and they had Dave Castro on.
And in that conversation,
it came out that when they
gave Brooke the penalty,
she indicated that she was
done competing to Dave and crew.
Now, she had just heard this news.
was getting penalized she
was not going to make get
her ticket to the games
through the um in affiliate
semi-final but dave made it
clear that she kind of came
back with well I'm never
competing again then but
she showed up at syndicate
so apparently that was just
an emotional response to
right and we all you know
when something gets hit we
get hit with something hard
we all say stupid stuff right
So I just found that to be funny,
and I found it odd that
Dave would share that.
Right.
I don't know.
And Lito says, was that a threat?
Like her saying that,
were they going to change
their mind and reinstate the reps?
Yeah.
That's the kid.
No, I'm not competing.
You're not going to have me as an athlete.
That's the kid playing
basketball who doesn't get
a foul that he wants or
something like that in the playground.
I'm taking my ball and I'm going home.
Okay.
We'll just get another ball.
Again, I've said dumb things.
A hundred percent.
I'm with you on the fact
that Castro just put that
out there for everybody is kind of wild.
I mean,
He did say,
I'm not a fan of these people
as a person whatsoever.
He's also said he is friends with Brooke.
Yeah.
I mean, that's obvious, dude.
That's been going back since forever.
I just think it... I'm taking my ball.
I'm not sure I want my
friend sharing that on a podcast,
but it's a really fun podcast.
Jason and Dallin dog on Castro hard.
do not give him any breaks
to his credit dude he eats
that kind of up like the
couple times he's been here
lately he's been on savan
where he went to savan's
house and like he's doing a
podcast at like savan light
lights into him and he just
sits there with a smile on
his face and takes it or
gives as good as he gets
either way um so I kudos to
him for that you know and
not being feeling some kind
of way about it like awesome
his uh his weekend review
this week when he was
talking about uh when he
started about being on
there and like hopper I
think he said by the first
time he met hopper and
hopper was saying call me
flopper to my face and he
was like I don't even know
who you are because the one
who was in the chat is cave
dastro and hopper thought
it was dave castro yeah
so but it's a good one but
on to back onto Brooke
Wells real quick before we
move on um you know the big
story of the weekend was
she refused the interview
uh with Taylor on the floor
my first reaction to that
was I'm surprised they were surprised
You had to go into it.
If you were realistic at all,
you had to go into it knowing that.
And, and,
and maybe it's my background that
tells me I've asked Brooke
Wells for interviews after events,
countless times.
She has told me no every time.
And I have never been,
I've never dogged her
publicly on anything like
her burpee standard or whatever.
Right.
I always chalked it up as
she has one point eight
million followers on Instagram.
I'm a little peon.
She doesn't need me.
And so she doesn't want to
waste her time giving me sixty seconds.
Yeah.
But I've been I've gotten
the no thank you a ton of times.
And there's really only two
athletes that have done that to me.
So like.
One,
I wasn't shocked she did it because
she's done it to me a million times.
she has like one or two
people that she was willing
to talk to after events.
Cause she knows that they're it's safe.
And she knows that they have
a big enough following
where it's going to matter for her.
And so there's that.
So, um, so yeah, I just,
I was surprised they were surprised, um,
I would say in the moment,
I would say in the moment,
I don't know if it was
necessarily a surprise to me, like, oh,
she didn't want to talk.
Okay, well,
and probably not knowing what
to do with it,
because they did say if
somebody didn't want to talk,
that that was fine.
That's their prerogative,
and everybody's right is not to.
But I think right there in the moment,
especially after,
I don't see she's on her redemption arc,
but she didn't make
The other thing that she was in,
and now she's winning.
She's kicking everybody's ass and whatnot.
And it probably would be a
little shocking for me at that point.
I don't give a damn who's
doing the interviewing that
she wasn't wanting to talk
and maybe come up and be like, yeah,
I am winning because I am that good.
Because if you go listen to
some of the stuff they talked about,
it's like everybody knows
that she can do and that she is fit.
And so like, hey,
you're actually showing it now.
Why wouldn't you want to come up there?
That's how I would look at it.
Why wouldn't you want to
come up here and be like, yeah,
this is kind of what I do.
I've been doing it for ten years now.
And shut up the voices.
So to be fair, on the stream,
they didn't really talk
about it live as it was happening.
There was a brief thing where...
john or bill asked why we
didn't get brooke after the
heat that she won and it
was relayed back to them
from taylor to somebody
else that he asked and she
said no thank you and that
was pretty much it on the
live broadcast it was the
post um show after the
broadcast more about
talking about why she said
no I didn't get to see any of that
that's the type of person
she is isn't it do you all
think alex kazan would have
refused the interview if
the same thing had happened
to her no no no uh
Alex is a whole different person though.
I feel like Alex Kazan is an
old soul trapped in a
twenty-three year old body.
I really do believe that.
Just judging,
talking to her in interviews and whatnot,
she's seen, I don't want to say wise,
but mature beyond her years for sure.
There are so many people
that love to talk to anyone
wanting to do an interview
with them after an event.
Like I said,
there's really only been two
that have refused me outright.
And then a couple of times
where like the transition
time between this event and
the next event was really
fast and they needed to get
back to do a cool down or whatever.
And they explained that
what's crazy is like when I do them,
I minor less than sixty
seconds unless the person
I'm interviewing starts
going into a story that's much longer.
Right.
but my goal is to be less
than sixty seconds.
Them explaining they need to
cool down actually takes
longer than it would have
been to answer my one question.
Yeah.
Right.
But regardless,
everybody has been super
cool that I've approached
after events about talking
about different things.
I mean, Ariel Lowen,
she'll just lean on the
barrier and just sit there
and talk to me for ten minutes.
Like it's, it's insane,
but legitimately just like this and just,
yep.
Yeah.
I've seen that.
And she'll do that when I'm
not interviewing her like that.
And other athletes do that too,
where they just stop by and chat.
So, you know,
but I just wanted to say like,
they're making a thing out
of Brooke saying no.
Brooke has said no before
without people dogging her burpees.
So I just wanted to kind of
like make that clear too,
that she is not an athlete
that talks a lot to anybody
after an event.
Now, if it was, you know, back in the day,
Nikki or Bella or any of
those people that are hired
by CrossFit interview.
And she did talk to Bella.
Yeah.
But that's one of the old
guard people that get hired
to do that by CrossFit.
She does those,
but if you are back in the back,
she doesn't stop and talk much.
Knowing, not knowing, but seeing,
realizing that Taylor's got
the microphone of all
people and he's sitting there going in,
not knowing what he's asked
or talked to other people
about or not caring about
that or whatnot.
And being Brooke,
I probably wouldn't want to
talk to him either because
let's be honest,
one thing me and Taylor
Self have in common is that
we're not exactly sure what
we're fixing to say next.
Like what's fixing to come
out of our mouths at any given point.
So, yeah, that would make sense to me.
Like, no,
of course she doesn't want to
talk to him.
Why?
At what point does that seem
like a good idea?
No,
we're going to go ahead and move on and
get on to the next thing.
Oh, here's somebody I know.
Here's Bella.
She's safe.
I know, I know what,
or I didn't necessarily know,
but I know probably what
she's going to ask me or
what she's going to say.
I'm going to talk to her.
Yeah.
Um, so that's that.
I just wanted to kind of point that out.
A couple,
one other thing I did want to point out,
cause this kind of goes
hand in hand is yesterday.
I announced that I had found the real, uh,
the real road to the games.
And that is Andrew Hiller
stuff that he's doing now.
And I want to carefully say this.
There's some thought that
he's getting this with
athletes that aren't tainted by agents,
right?
Yeah.
You get just better flow, better stuff,
whatever.
It's not coming through a
screen at that point.
I think that's discrediting
the work that Andrew has put in on these.
Right.
And I, and I wanted to,
I wanted to put the reason
these are so good.
One,
Andrew has built a relationship with
these athletes where they
feel comfortable in talking to him.
That, that is key.
Yeah.
Two, two, he sees the stories.
He's not there just to see
what protein they use and
what workout they're doing today.
He wants to know the whys.
He wants to know where, why, how.
And then you get the stories, right?
And that's what makes them
deeper than what CrossFit
is putting out now.
And this is an example I used.
I was talking to Andrew the other day.
And Austin Hatfield wrote to the games.
I didn't learn a thing new
from him that I hadn't seen
in a Hiller video or any
other video about Austin.
What I wanted to know more of,
this relationship with his grandfather,
that he comes down and eats
breakfast with him every single day.
Every day.
Why does he do that?
What has he learned from his grandfather?
What are the things his
grandfather has taught him
that take him through the day?
Does that make sense?
Oh, yeah.
No, absolutely it does.
Absolutely it does.
Dude,
you can get their training content
off of YouTube or Instagram
or wherever they're posting
to at any given point in time.
That's not hard to do.
And it's not super interesting.
They're all doing thrusters
and burpees and double
unders and muscle ups,
every single one of them.
I'm with you.
Like, give me an actual story.
And that's what Andrew is really,
really good at.
Right.
Going in and seeing hip and
steals rings in his living
room and then in a
staircase and talking about why.
And what's cool about the
ones in the living room,
because his shoulder mobility is so bad,
which was the point of
emphasis on the original Hiller video,
dogging him for his mobility.
It's so he can stretch his
shoulders out while he's watching TV.
like it was a full circle
moment that you only get if
you can follow the story
from something that, that, you know,
we talk about the hero's
journey a lot in
storytelling and the hero's
journey is there's a tragic
event that the hero has to overcome.
And that tragic event was
hip and steel shouldn't
have qualified for the
games that year because his
movement standards were terrible.
And he acknowledged that.
Now we come full circle on
that hero's journey.
And here he's installed
rings in his living room at
close to seventy years old
to improve his shoulder
mobility every night while watching TV.
So that gives you that full circle story.
The Erica follow stuff this
week that Andrew did with
her on a FaceTime.
laying down on a bed after
the syndicate with her
coach and just shooting the
breeze with Hiller and
being open and transparent
and honest about everything
that went wrong over the weekend,
that when she qualifies for the games,
that tragic event of missing the games.
We've got the fail from last year.
We've got the thought I had it this year,
but I don't.
And then when she makes it,
it's going to be epic.
Yeah, a hundred percent.
She's failing upwards, right?
She failed, she failed again, but better.
Like she's, she's stacking them on,
stacking them on, stacking them.
It, it, Rich falling off the rope.
It's, you know, that was a,
that was a story.
That was a thing.
Erica-
And CrossFit back in the day
took those risks on people.
We've got a Tia Wright story
that never did come to that epic climax,
but you have to take your
chances because the three
that did come to the Brooke
Entz one that actually
ended up at the games, right?
Yeah.
I can't confirm from the one
time that I actually got to
meet Andrew in person.
He is extremely easy to talk to.
It's ridiculous.
Like, we had on the same shoes.
We talked for five minutes
about our shoes being the same.
And then the next day,
because I was at Southland camp,
the next day I brought him
a C-IV because I had like
six of them in my bag.
And you would have thought I
gave him a winning lottery ticket.
He was like, is this for me?
I said it.
yeah I don't know if you had
any I haven't had six seven
in my bag I know you love
them this is the one I'm is
this your favorite flavor
uh yeah currently he's like
a little kid he really
really was and I think that
part of him knowing how to
conversate with people and
knowing how to get stories
out of them and whatnot is
what's making him so good
at doing that con that type
of content that he's doing
you know even his other
videos even his no rep
videos his natty or not
videos and whatnot
He understands how to put
together a story to where
it's engaging and it's
something you actually want to watch.
Like,
he knows how to grab you right from
the start.
And then some, you know,
some hits are better than others.
But like going back to the
Hayley Adams video, when he put that out,
dude,
like people lost their minds because
nobody had ever seen Hayley
like that before on any piece of content.
Mayhem, CrossFit, whatever.
It took Andrew Hiller going
on there and spending,
whatever it was with her,
to get that kind of story out of him.
That's a rare thing.
But I would challenge you,
watch that today compared
to the stuff he's putting
out today and look at the
development in his storytelling.
Oh, yeah.
Absolutely.
One hundred percent.
That was, I would say, the first one.
One of the first ones that
was probably... I think it
was the first one.
And then it's getting,
and it's getting better
every single time.
He learned from his mistakes.
He gets better.
He puts out another one and it just,
I mean, it's, it's insane at this point.
He needed the Haley Adams
one to get the credibility in that,
in that area.
Did the hip and steel one.
I am, I have,
I gained so much respect for
Dave heaven steel after watching that,
because now I actually know.
I actually know what's going
on with the dude.
I actually know that he does care.
It's not just that he just
does shit just because he
thinks he can get away with
it or whatnot.
Like, no, he actually does give a shit.
That's a big deal.
I'm so glad because I've
known Dave since my
volunteering days when he
was first winning the CrossFit Games.
And he's always been such a nice guy.
And when the Andrew stuff first came out,
like he came to me
And he wanted to know if I
would give him a platform
to talk about it on the show.
And I, and I basically said,
I don't want to just give
you a place to make excuses.
Like your movements weren't good.
Like, are we willing to talk about that?
And, and with some back and forth,
like it just, it never panned out.
And
So it's,
and I'm just really grateful that
they've kind of patched
this all up and he's come on and said,
hey, my movement wasn't good.
And Hibbensteel's defense on that,
you know, trying to come on your,
he wasn't really,
he wasn't ready to have a
real conversation about it.
He couldn't have been.
Otherwise it would have
happened here instead of
with Hibbensteel.
instead instead of with uh
with andrew so yeah
blessing for that like it
took him a little bit of
time but he was like okay
let's have an actual
conversation about what's
going on and I can actually
tell what tell what's going
on without being defensive
about it on my side uh
andrew's getting very good
at it he is obsessive and a
perfectionist he does give
a shit uh they have been
still video changed so
many's minds about him it's insane
I feel Hiller has a very
deep passion for CrossFit
and he wants it to be the best it can be.
I do not disagree with that at all.
Yeah, no,
that's a hundred percent correct.
And it's evident in everything he does.
This wasn't supposed to be a like,
laud and kudos to hill or
all show but um but I just
wanted to point that out
because the relationship
building he does do is is
really important in those
videos and I think that he
should get credit for that
um finishing up with a
couple other things we have
a big lineup in norcal um they are um
they are loading up that
leaderboard with the people
who are going to be there.
The women's side is insane to,
to say only two people are
making it out of that side is, is crazy.
The men's side is not as
deep as I thought it was going to be.
Like, yeah, because a legit shot, like,
It's kind of that level of athlete.
We're going to get Seth
Stovall and Spencer Panchex
and those types of athletes
on the men's side unless
somebody else comes in after.
People are complaining about my font.
I don't know if you guys have noticed.
I change the font every single day.
I was about to say, yeah,
we get a new one every day.
Yeah,
just because I get bored with seeing
the same thing, so...
This looks like eight bit
video game stuff.
Yeah.
I just, yeah, that's it.
I just throw something new
up every single day.
Who would I like to see next
on a Hiller video?
So I think like the next one
I want to see is somebody that
take a shot on someone that
they think is going to come
up and do something amazing.
Um, I would say somebody, I don't,
I don't know who could very
well be the next thing.
You've got these teen girls, um,
from the syndicate that all
like we're having Reese Littlewood on,
on Friday.
Um,
that's somebody that's going to be fun
to watch.
Um, I think on the men's side, there's,
there's some young people coming up, um,
Let me think about it.
We'll talk about it later in the week.
I never noticed until today
old man complaining a lot.
That's okay.
That's what us old men do.
Same, Ken.
Not going to lie.
I struggle to read the comments a bit.
The only thing I try to stay
away from is cursive.
Yeah, that actually is hard to read.
Especially IG handles.
Tomorrow will be something
different and you guys can
give it a thumbs up or a thumbs down.
The other thing that's going
to be different tomorrow is
I'm going to have a new thumbnail.
Oh, I wonder why.
Yeah, new thumbnail tomorrow for the show.
I already have it developed, but
to add cory and would have
taken a little bit more
work today um so I just
went with our old cory one
um and the old thing so
I'll probably change even
this background background
um and go away from the the
fonts on here too uh so
we'll have something new on
the background and on the
So it's going to look a
little different tomorrow.
Make sure you see that when it goes out.
Denise, you are so right about full swing.
It is great to see the
backstories of the rookies.
I'm telling you,
that is what Andrew is headed toward,
is what full swing has done.
And that's what I've been
begging for CrossFit to do.
And hopefully,
we don't know what's going
to happen with CrossFit in
the next six months.
I don't know what's going to
happen with CrossFit in the
next six hours.
Sports are about storytelling.
If you can't tell a story,
it's never going to be a sport.
People watch for the story.
It's just a live story.
Is the story going to play out?
Is it not going to play out?
We don't know.
Bottom line.
I appreciate Corey taking
time out every week to share thoughts.
There's something positive.
Ken, you're a positive guy.
but us old men, we,
we get cranky on some days, you know,
you sleep wrong and the
neck hurts or something like that.
And you just got to get through it.
But guess what?
You knuckleheads time to get back to work.
I've got a meeting that I've
got to run up the stairs for.
I will see everybody
tomorrow on lunch with the Clydesdale.
Bye guys.
