The Clydesdale Media Roundtable - New Year, New Gaols?

This week the crew gets together to discuss everything going on with them and the CrossFit Space. Plus discuss anything you the viewer has on your minds.

What is Clydesdale Media Podcast?

We cover the sport of CrossFit from all angles. We talk with athletes, coaches and celebrities that compete and surround in the sport of CrossFit at all levels. We also bring you Breaking News, Human Interest Stories and report on the Methodology of CrossFit. We also use the methodology to make ourselves the fittest we can be.

What's going on everybody?

Welcome to the Clydesdale

Media Roundtable.

We are here every Thursday

afternoon at twelve fifteen

and we've got half a

Charlie and we've got Elf

Cat with us today.

Okay.

I don't know how that happened.

So, what's going on guys?

New year.

New cat with a hat.

Yeah.

I got,

I went and got my car washed this

morning and the old guy at the

Car Wash was flirting with me.

They spray down your car

before you actually go in.

And he motioned for me to

put my window down.

He's like, what does your hat say?

And I was like, oh, it's William and Mary.

My son goes there.

And he's like, oh,

I thought it was something.

I didn't hear what he said.

And then I rolled the window

back up and he's doing some more.

And then he's starting to talk to me.

He's like, what's your birthday?

I was like, what?

And I was like, two, twenty,

seventy three.

I don't know why.

Like, I felt like I had to tell him.

He's like, June twenty seventh.

And I was like, no.

And then I like I went down.

I was like, February twenty.

He's like, two, twenty.

I was like, yeah.

He's like,

I'm playing those numbers today.

The lottery.

I was like, okay.

I have been with Amy when

she divulges way too much

information to strangers.

And it sounds like you do the same thing.

We need personal security

for the two of you.

Right?

It's so funny.

When you say that,

I just pictured grownups, the movie,

when they go,

Kevin James goes to the car

wash and the dudes are in

like little bikinis and

they're licking the window.

Yeah.

Yeah, it wasn't like that.

It was cute.

It's only having a cat.

I hope he wins some money.

That'd be cool.

Yeah.

To get hit on at the car wash.

A man can dream.

Maybe we'll win and give you half of it.

That'd be cool.

Because you probably gave me your address,

too.

I mean, he knows my license plate.

That's about it.

Security number.

Yeah.

Oh, wow.

It just takes me back to that night with,

with Amy at the,

at the bar and she's

getting hit on and she's giving this,

she's being hit on by a

woman and she's being,

and she's giving her every

detail of where we're staying,

what room number.

And I'm like, what are you doing?

Yeah.

I'm way too much of an open

book sometimes.

TMI.

So we're in the new year.

You guys setting any goals for the year?

I'm prioritizing protein.

That's the big New Year's goal?

Eat more protein.

And where are you at right

now at noon today?

Well, I just fried up some chicken wings,

but I can't eat them for

another forty minutes or so.

And I've had a piece of

tomato pie and three ricotta cookies.

So not so good.

Wait, wait.

I have yet to prioritize the protein.

Tomato pie.

Yeah.

You guys don't know what tomato pie is?

no uh no so it's so tomato

pie it's a town I mean it's

like an italian thing and

maybe it's an east coast

thing but it's pizza

without cheese it's just

dough and sauce with like

some sprinkled parmesan

cheese and basil on top um

it's usually served room

temperature like as a appetizer

like think of tailgates and stuff.

They sell them at Costco and whatever,

but they're really hard to

come by and they're really

hard to get good ones.

So I called a whole bunch of

pizza places on New Year's

Day to see if I could find

anybody that made tomato pie.

Because a lot of times too,

you have to order it in advance.

And a couple of places that

I call these like young

kids answer the phone.

I was like, do you have tomato pie?

And they're like, um, what?

I was like, you don't have it.

If you don't know what I'm talking about,

you don't have it.

Uh, but I found it.

Yeah, it's good.

Okay.

And this helps your protein.

How?

Yeah, exactly.

No protein.

It was leftover from yesterday.

Um, so yeah,

but chicken wings are on board.

So that would be my protein for the day.

And I did have some creatine

choose earlier.

There's protein in the ricotta.

Maybe a little, a little bit.

I'm sure it's offset by the sugar.

So we're getting after it.

I mean, as soon as the cookies are gone,

I'll be good to go.

Okay.

Well,

with Julie being down and out this year,

we didn't make cookies,

which has been awesome.

Because I just don't want to eat them,

right?

Like, I don't need them in the house.

And I did not miss them.

That's good.

So that was good.

Well,

I had chicken wings yesterday for my

birthday at this new place

called Shakers.

Thank you.

And they have these dry rubs

that are very unique.

They have like flaming hot Cheeto wings.

And somebody is, oh, I think it's Amy.

Trying to get in.

We can hear her.

And we can hear her.

She is clicking a bunch.

Or breathing hard.

I'm going to mute her until

she can get a picture or whatever.

Oh, there's a car.

That's why.

Now she's, oh.

I need to change the view here.

She's doing, oh, not that one.

Nope.

Nope.

Oh, come on.

She's off now.

there we go surprise now

I'll see if we I'm gonna

unmute her I can't unmute

her okay all right anyway

but they have these flaming

hot veto wings that are

that were pretty good but I

I've I've learned that like

I like a wet wing like if

it's not a sauce on it like I'm just not

that into it.

And they had this Grippo potato chip wing,

which is a local potato chip company.

And it's the seasoning they

put on their barbecue.

The dry rubs don't do it for me.

Is this by your house?

What's that?

Is this place by your house?

It is.

It's on Wilson Bridge.

Shaker.

So you recommend...

You don't recommend?

I highly recommend.

Their original buffalo sauce

was perfection.

See, I'm the opposite.

I like a good dry rub.

Amy, how could you?

No, thank you.

She's an incubator on the inside.

On my chicken wings, guys.

On your what?

So, yeah, that was it.

Then we got a soft pretzel,

which is one of my other favorite foods.

And it was like the size, like,

and it was great.

It was, again, perfection.

It was really good food.

I just don't care for a dry rub.

Can you dip it in beer cheese,

the pretzel?

So it came with beer cheese

and honey mustard.

Okay, beer cheese.

Beer cheese is my favorite.

You got to get her protein, Annie.

You got to get the beer cheese.

Yes, I got it.

Oh, the comments.

Hey, when's Julie's surgery?

Julie's surgery is Monday.

Okay.

When's your thing?

Tomorrow?

Tomorrow.

Get shocked back into rhythm

tomorrow and then start the

new medication tomorrow afternoon.

If you want to save a buck,

I've got a taser.

I could come over and shock

her right back in.

I think I will pass on the

taser okay well if you just

know that it's available

this is the second time

I've had it done so I am

prepared with some aloe

this time because the burn

mark from the shock on my

chest uh was almost

unbearable last time uh so

so aloe's gonna oh help the

burn I got it helps the burn yeah

You'd think they'd have

something to prevent that from happening.

Happy anniversary, Jake, I guess.

Yeah.

A hundred percent.

Where is the C-five percent?

There.

Your neck.

Cervical.

Neck.

yeah um do you guys watch

the I I know amy did watch

the football games

yesterday um oh yeah we

started off with an amazing

game but then the other

game was so bad we were on

a texturing talking about

alternate broadcasts

And so we had switched over

to the Pat McAfee broadcast

of the Ohio State Oregon game.

Fantastic.

And then Amy pointed us out

to the local TV station here in Columbus,

turned over their Facebook

page to a Homer fan who

apparently was allowed to

say whatever he wanted to

say about the game.

Play by play.

It was insane.

they wrote today, they said, hey, Austin,

let's chat.

Nice.

Getting ready for the cotton ball.

I'm going to find out who that was.

Well,

I wrote on there to reveal yourself

and they said, not yet.

Well, I may know a guy that can find out.

Yeah,

find out and tell us on the back end

here.

Yeah, but it was great.

And the McAfee broadcast in

a blowout game was way

better than the traditional

broadcast because they

added a lot of levity to

the whole situation.

Commenting on the fans,

commenting on the

celebrities on the sideline.

Where else do you get a

play-by-play announcer going, holy hell!

He's wide-ass open!

So that was great.

But now we're hopefully on a

collision course for a Penn State,

Ohio State National Championship.

You don't want that.

I want every bit of that.

You don't want that.

The way they're playing,

there's no chance.

They can't keep up this

level for this many weeks.

You got to get through my Irish first,

and then...

Well, the Irish,

we don't even know if

they're going to face Penn State yet.

They have to play a game today.

That's just a minor step.

Okay.

I actually picked Notre Dame

to win yesterday on the lunch show.

And it's pretty much a pick-em.

It's a one-point underdog, right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Have football on today at four o'clock.

That'll be fun.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But one thing I wanted to

ask you guys about the

CrossFit space is Carrie

calling it a career.

She did her first podcast

with us way back in the day,

thanks to Kat setting that up.

We've known her since she

started this thing.

Thoughts on her retiring at, what,

twenty two years old?

I think when you compete at

so young at such a high

level and it's not fulfilling her,

I think it's a great thing

for her to change her mind now and do it,

do what you, live your life, you know?

Yeah, I don't think it's, I mean,

she went through so much

outside of just working out.

It seemed like it took a toll.

Well,

I think we knew something was going

to happen when she went to Brute.

Because she's just not built

the same as some of the

other girls in that sport

in terms of character.

Yeah, but she was not in Florida.

Okay.

But she was with Torres

since the beginning.

Correct.

I think that experience in Florida...

sort of had to have been a

major culture shock for her.

And it probably forced her

to reevaluate some things, perhaps.

And again, I'm just guessing, but man,

that had to have been a

different experience for her.

Yeah,

I think her being roommates with

Olivia Sulik had a lot to do with it.

As she was on kind of a

similar journey as Emma, it just,

Olivia was quicker to it than Emma.

And I also think that she

got hurt a lot early on

because she would go to that dark space.

Yeah, she had no brakes.

And she was injured a lot young.

And that has to take a toll too.

Yep.

We've all sustained injuries

in just recreational

CrossFit and know how

depressing that can be.

Yeah.

I mean, it wasn't surprising.

I wasn't that surprised when she finally,

you know,

came out with it because we just

hadn't been hearing from her for a while.

And I, you know,

obviously we wish her

nothing but the best.

Yeah.

She was a great kid.

It was great getting to know her,

her family.

Yeah, her dad.

And I'll miss covering her,

but I'm happy that she's happy.

Yeah,

I'll always remember her mom calling

her sis.

Come on, sis.

Let's go, sis.

Yeah.

And her dad was a wreck at the games.

Oh, my gosh.

Yep.

Oh my gosh.

And yes,

Andrew is correct that that started.

I still blame Andrew Sten for all of it.

That was the downhill right there.

Those lunges.

Cost her the victory.

And so Emma's decline was

Ariel Lowen's gain.

All because of Andrew Sten.

There's going to be a

documentary right there.

The man that changed CrossFit.

The man that... Andrew Stanton.

Andrew Stanton.

And the changed CrossFit.

Charlie, did you work out today?

I did.

Okay.

I was... Amy's nodding.

Because we're holding each

other accountable,

so I check in and make sure he works out.

Awesome.

And she tried not to today,

and I made her come.

No, no, no.

I was there.

I was going to do it.

I was just saying,

I'm not sure about myself.

We had deadlifts.

And then I crushed it, so it was all good.

Well, mass moves mass, so.

That's what I told him.

I said, hey, I'm pretty fit for a fatty.

Wow.

We're in debulking season right now.

We're trying to debulk.

I hear you.

Getting out of a big girl

winter and trying to go

into debulking season.

Yeah.

Do you guys have any goals for the year?

To stay consistent.

Charlie,

you missed the cat was the protein,

but she hasn't started

today and it's four o'clock

in the afternoon.

Didn't say how much she just said, eat it.

Prioritize focused on it.

I just want to be able to

touch my toes by Jen.

That'd be great.

Yeah, Charlie has a mobility goal, right?

I do.

Stand up on a stand-up paddleboard.

Oh, cool.

Could not get the right leg

to go where it needed to go.

Wow.

And then I saw a stingray, and I said,

you should just stab me, bro,

because I feel like a goof out here.

So the real question is,

did you look like Easy

Muhammad in the middle of

the Pacific Ocean at the games?

Did not.

I was still good on my knees.

Pause.

But it hurts to sit for an

hour in that position.

Well,

I do have one goal and that is I'm

probably going to

incorporate a lot more like

step ups and that kind of

stuff because I just booked

my trip for our twenty

fifth wedding anniversary.

And we are going to Banff National Park,

which is the Canadian Rocky Mountains.

And there's like four

national parks over by

where we're staying, so

that's where I'm going and

gonna be hiking for a week

and immersed in nature when

are you going amy uh middle

of june so the question is

will scott radowski be left

on the trail as you don't

get it together yeah yep

listen neither of them are

gonna make it out of the

hostel they're staying

uh chris not bang park bath

park bam bam bam bam sorry

it's um alberta so we fly

into calgary and then it's

like a two hour drive from

calgary to to get there so

yeah it looks beautiful

it's definitely a bucket list item yeah

Jake Chapman recapped Charlie's goal.

Good on his knees wants to

learn how to touch his toes.

Yep.

Yeah.

Okay.

How about you, Scott?

I'm pausing my goal setting

until after I get my wife through surgery,

because that has been my goal.

Me to get my heart back and

my wife to get her knee.

And then after that,

I'll sit down and write out

some goals from that point forward.

That has been my sole focus right now.

Sure.

You can set the goal, but not start it.

Well,

I've been doing really well on my

goals this year anyway.

I'm really happy where I'm at,

and I want to kind of keep those going.

But I want to get more

specific with the goals,

and I'll sit down and do that.

Okay.

So, yeah.

So I do have a little bit of a rant.

Oh, boy.

Let's go.

Will you guys appease me on that?

Of course.

I'm going to meet you in a minute.

my um so I was I was

watching peter's show

yesterday around the

whiteboard and I watched

the spin last night and I

wanted to talk about I I

they were talking a lot

about the wfp and like is

it is it intruding on the

crossfit game season is it

not um and and really I

felt like they were picking it apart

And what I want to say about

this is since Greg

dismantled the media

department and changed what

the CrossFit Games were in

two thousand seventeen or eighteen,

whatever it was.

Um,

we have been bitching nonstop about

CrossFit changing the season every year,

not knowing what the athletes are in,

are in for.

We don't,

we can't even plan the season out

because they,

they don't announce anything

that we can't even tell the story.

It's not easy to tell our friends, Hey,

this is a CrossFit game season.

You got to go through this stage.

And then if then else you do that, this,

the other, um,

And again,

this year they've done the same thing.

They've gone back to like,

Open, if you're one of the top fourteen,

you go to the games or you go,

I don't know,

top one percent go to semifinals.

Then you have two different

kinds of semifinals from that point.

You get to choose whether

you want to do it online or

you want to do it in person.

And we have nine events,

but we don't really know

what the rules are for

those nine events because

we've handed it over to

other people and blah, blah, blah.

So in comes the WFP,

which actually has a set

schedule for the season.

Event one, earn points.

Event two, earn points.

Top thirty go to the finals

and battle it out to see

who the top thirty people

are in the world.

Everybody's pissing on it,

and it's the first thing to

make sense in years.

Everybody wants to know

where's the money coming from.

Do they have enough money to withstand?

Who the hell cares at this point?

Give them an opportunity to

show what they can do.

Maybe this thing is a success.

Maybe it's not a success,

but maybe it pushes

CrossFit to change and

create a season that makes

sense like they did.

I'm just I'm really getting

like irritated about

everybody just kind of picking it apart.

This is wrong.

This is in twenty six.

They're going to go to an

exclusive country.

We're not even in twenty six.

We haven't even started twenty five yet.

And then one of the big

things that people are

picking apart is that like

Rogue is in November and

the finals are in December.

The athletes can't recover

in time to do both.

So they're going to have to

pick between Rogue and the championships.

And this is directly to the athletes.

If you want to be a

professional athlete and

you want to make as much

money as possible and have

the opportunities you want,

you need to change the way you train.

Yep.

You need the NFL plays every Sunday.

And those guys are beat up

and banged up every single week.

And either they can perform

the next week or they can't.

But what the athletes,

and Dallin actually did say this,

he needs to train smarter.

If he's going to do both of these things,

he needs to train smarter.

We don't need to fit the

square peg in the round hole.

Maybe both things need to

change into an oval.

Maybe the season changes,

and maybe the athletes

change the way they train

and adapt themselves for this new season.

And you're not going to be

peaked for everything.

this whole idea of peaking

for one CrossFit Games is

maybe out the window for now.

And maybe you need to be more of a steady,

consistent peak for a

season-long tournament as

opposed to one event.

That's the gist of my rant, my riff.

Yeah, and I actually liked,

somebody made a comment,

I forget who it was,

it said something about

you know, if you win the CrossFit Games,

you're the fittest that day, right?

But if you're winning this WFP thing,

you know,

it means that you've proven

yourself over the course of

time and with points and everything else.

Like the argument,

I don't know if this was their argument,

but what I got from it is that, you know,

that WFP might become more

of a legitimate title even, you know,

than CrossFit.

the CrossFit Games winner.

Because like you said,

you have to be fit that

weekend and that's your only opportunity.

You know, we start from zero.

So yeah, I agree with you, Scott.

I think people, I mean,

people need content.

And so if new things are coming out, it's,

you know,

it makes sense that they can

nitpick it and try to tear it apart.

And I think that's just kind

of the nature of, unfortunately,

the nature of some of the

media in our space is that, you know,

trying to,

use your intelligence for criticism,

I guess.

Well,

one of the big examples that we're

using is may is,

is rumored to be one of the

first WFP tour event.

It's also a month that is

heavy in in-person semifinals.

So people are going to,

if they want to do the French throwdown,

it's going to butt right up

against world tour event one.

Well,

maybe you have to make a choice that

you need to qualify another

way than the French

throwdown if you're in the

WFP tour event.

Or make it so that you are

able to sustain that

fitness over the two events.

Yeah, I know what you're saying.

I mean, I think.

And we don't know.

I think we need to try it out.

Let's see what happens.

And in no way am I, like,

I'm still going to watch

the CrossFit game season.

I'm still going to attend semifinals.

I'm still doing all that stuff.

But why can't we watch both

play out and see how it works?

And again,

we've been bitching about this

since two thousand eighteen.

Someone stepped up and is

trying to fix all those issues.

And maybe they succeed.

Maybe they don't.

But at least they're trying.

Right.

I'm with you because what's the point?

We don't know that it's

going to be a problem, right?

And what if it becomes a huge success?

And what if, like CrossFit,

we've been talking all

along about separating

sport from methodology,

and maybe CrossFit sells

the rights to the games to WFP,

and now that becomes the CrossFit Games.

That's a possibility.

I think, yeah, I think there's...

So it's funny because last

night on the spin, John Young kept saying,

maybe they get so

successful that CrossFit

wants to partner with them

and they can hold the games

and the qualification of the games.

And I'm thinking, if they're so successful,

why the hell do they want

the CrossFit games?

They won't hate them.

No.

Why add on that extra

expense of buying the name

or buying whatever if

you're already successful?

Now,

if you're on the way up and there's a

forethought that both

things are going to be successful,

maybe you merge like Liv and the PGA.

But it is possible that they

become successful and don't

need the CrossFit Games.

It's a Diet Coke.

Sorry.

That's worse.

Yeah.

Yeah, I don't know about that,

but I don't drink beer.

So see, Kat's already anti CrossFit.

She's drinking a cup.

It's a Diet Coke.

There's protein in there somewhere.

Protein Charlie.

Yeah, Scott, you make a good point.

For sure.

CrossFit guys have content.

What happens when one event

becomes like bowl games

where all the talent decides to opt out?

Yeah, that's good.

We have to see what happens

with all that and which

direction does it go?

I keep seeing these people

go to High Rocks.

It's weird to me.

They're not going to High Rocks.

They're just doing a High Rocks.

What's the difference?

And we've been talking about

that on the Sunday night show, like...

Why doesn't CrossFit do a

community event like that

that is a very CrossFit-based workout?

You know, at Waterpalooza,

they have the gauntlet,

which is a one-hour

waterfall workout where you

do one thing into the next into the next.

CrossFit could make that a traveling show,

a community event,

charge just like you would

go to a five K or a half

marathon or whatever.

That'd be great revenue streams.

CrossFit does not explore

alternative revenue streams.

They have one way of making money,

and if it works, great, and if it doesn't,

they cry broke.

They're not going outside

the box to try anything new

to make money.

Well, is the games even a revenue stream?

I thought it was more of

like an expense stream.

Like they get all their

money from the affiliates.

So I look at it as the season,

the open is the revenue stream, right?

And then you, when there was quarterfinals,

you paid for that semifinals,

you have to pay to do that.

So they are,

the revenue stream is the

athletes paying the money.

Yeah.

And then they do sell some,

they sell out the games every year.

So they sell those tickets.

Um, but

So yeah, I don't know.

I, I, it,

that frustrates me from a

business sense that they

never try other revenue streams,

but that's, that's, and I guess,

and I guess when Greg founded it,

he wasn't looking at it that way,

you know,

and he still doesn't look at it that way.

I don't think his,

his methodology is more of

just trying to get the word

out and less of a business, more of a,

lifestyle but craig's been

gone for five years now

yeah well nobody's really

taking his place when you

think about it I don't care

I have a question this is

not crossword related are

we okay to switch gears for

a second or do you want to

make some more sure points

um I just wanted to have

that discussion and get

feedback from the audience and you guys

Yeah,

you make some really good points and

I'm just excited to see it all.

I want to see athletes compete.

I want to see CrossFit happen.

So I don't really care where

it is or what form it takes.

Landmine.

Can we talk landmine, please?

Landman?

Landman.

The show?

Yes.

Okay.

All right,

so Mike and I started watching

it less than a week ago.

We're already up to where

we're waiting for Sunday's episode.

First of all, what time is the episode?

Or is it just start that day

and I can watch it?

It gets released on Sunday.

I don't know what time it gets released.

Okay,

so it's not like on live television

anywhere.

It's just out there for streaming.

Cool.

Number two.

Did anyone catch...

Sorry.

This is spoiler alert if

you've already seen it.

Pause your, mute your phone.

When she gets divorced from Victor,

he's paying child support

for Ainsley and he has a letter for her.

Now,

I thought that Tommy was Ainsley's dad.

Are we going to find out

that Victor is really Ainsley's dad?

Did you even catch that during that scene?

I did, but she,

I don't think that that's the case.

Why would Victor be paying

child support for Ainsley

and why would he leave a

letter for Ainsley?

I think because Ainsley was

living with him.

Okay.

There may have been like a

custody adoption type thing

that happened.

Like the big secret is Tommy

at one point was rich and

had made it in the oil business, right?

And lost it all.

We know that much.

Yes.

But we don't know the story behind that.

And we don't know what

happened during that story

that led us to where we are today.

And I'm thinking a part of

that big whatever happened

there will explain some of that.

yeah okay I just I wanted to

go on record saying that I

I caught that and I don't

know if it's going to come

back up or not but I know

tommy would be just

devastated if he found out

that ainsley wasn't his

daughter I don't think she

was with victor then yeah I

think this marriage was

shorter than that okay and

it seems like well I mean I

don't know I mean who knows but

but Cooper and her would

definitely live together as

brother and sister and they act like it.

Yeah.

So I feel like,

I feel like there's

something there too that we

don't know about.

Uh, Jody Lynn,

I watched four episodes last night.

Tough to watch my beloved

Brooke Wyndham from Legally Blonde, uh,

in this role.

I see her from Varsity Blues.

yeah I remember her from

friday night lights or

whatever that yeah varsity

was she's it's the same

character she is so off the

rails but so good at being

off the rails yes and and

can we talk about how old

the actress is that plays

seventeen-year-old ansley

she's I think I read she's

twenty nine right

I heard twenty-seven,

but definitely not seventeen.

That makes it a lot better.

Are we talking about landmine?

What are we talking about?

Landmine.

I always say landmine.

Kat just said it too.

Okay.

You two really are twins.

Right?

Of all things.

Yeah, it's so good.

I really enjoy it.

But it is really must watch

for is one of the few must watch where,

like every Sunday I am

jumping at the chance to watch it.

Yeah, it's really good.

And there couldn't have been

a more perfect part written

for Billy Bob Thornton.

Correct.

I've heard that I've heard

he's the best part.

Like, best person for the part.

He said, Well,

the writing is the writing

is just so good.

I I watched um this tv

critic show on the ringer

and they were saying that

like this show is

everything taylor shared

and learned from

yellowstone and lioness and

all that and he put it all

into this one show and got

it dead on yeah that's

really good lioness is

great too yeah I have to

start that one it is

I'll probably call it something else.

I wouldn't put it as great.

We'll call it The Lion's Den.

What are we calling it?

Not Lion's Den.

Because we started watching Mufasa too,

but didn't get through much

of it before we switched.

The Lion's Den?

Yeah.

I was going to say, I put Lioness...

As great, but not as great as Landman.

Well, no.

There's definitely some plot holes,

but the action is incredible.

Yes.

So you've never seen Yellowstone, right?

I have.

I just have not seen the final season.

Oh, got it.

I don't have the Paramount

Network to be able to get it.

Got it.

They shouldn't do it this way.

So I have to wait for it to

come to Peacock so I can

watch the final season.

Got it, got it.

Okay.

CrossFit says you should call it Tigress.

Well,

and Jay Birch had recommended that I

start Sons of Anarchy.

Yes, that is good too.

And so I just started that

and I've never seen it.

Oh, that is great.

It starts off with a bang.

I don't even remember,

but I remember what it started off with,

but I know it's good.

My middle son is named after

the main character.

Oh, is he?

Really?

Yes.

I did.

Listen, I'm not into blondes,

but I was into that one.

His mother was too, so.

I was just surprised how

ruthless Peg Bundy was.

I was going to say,

Katie Segal is pretty awesome in there.

I know jody says stop

recommending shows I've got

two years worth at this

point charles accents not

mine he's talking about

charlie hano trained to

live says so if so far I

think lioness is better

done with it like five

episodes into land man oh

got it sorry okay I think

it would be taste like

lioness is definitely like

full-on military

badass action.

Landman is not a ton of action.

It is more a dialogue driven show.

But how they dealt with the

drug dealers on the last

episode was freaking awesome.

Yeah.

How he deals with them all the time.

It amazes me.

Yeah.

Balls of steel.

That lawyer, I'm not a fan of.

I liked her at first.

I liked her at first too.

I did not like her in the last episode.

You know,

there's another good show coming back.

Dexter.

It's already out.

Oh, okay.

I haven't started it.

I haven't started it.

I've never watched Dexter.

Oh, it was pretty good.

Last season you could go without.

Yeah, agreed.

Oh, I don't know.

Is it a Macbeth inspired story?

That's interesting to look into.

I don't know.

I'm only I'm only like two

or three episodes in so I

have to watch a little more

and with that in my mind

that's interesting oh cool

um the other show that's

back that I liked but I

have not liked this season

very much on that have you

watched that so it's uh

dawson's creek girl what's her uh

Katie Holmes?

Katie Holmes.

No, is it?

I don't know.

I don't know.

But anyway,

she's a diplomat to the UK and

they're trying her out to

be vice president.

But shit goes wrong the

minute she steps into the UK.

The first season was really good.

The second season,

I'm just not getting it.

But

I don't know how you can

watch multiple shows at once.

I cannot do that.

I can do a movie every once

in a while in between shows, but I cannot,

I can't go back and forth.

Cross that said bad monkey

and shrinking are good.

Uh, really good.

Shrinking is my favorite show of the year.

Shrinking is very good.

Shrinking is very good.

I think shrinking is perfection.

Bad monkey's good if you

like Vince Vaughn being Vince Vaughn.

Yes.

And surprise ending.

Big twist at the end.

Isn't Vince Vaughn an Ohio State fan?

No.

He's a Chicago Bears fan.

He's a Notre Dame fan.

I think he's an Ohio State fan.

I think he's a Notre Dame fan.

He was in Rudy.

Well, you know,

LeBron James is a big Ohio State fan.

Let's just throw that out there.

How does an Ohio State?

What?

Why does it always come back

to Ohio State?

Because that's what we need

to be talking about on the show.

Do we find out what happened

to that defensive player

that stepped on the ankle

of the guy at the college game?

The hundred pound guy

stomped on the ankle of the other kid.

You didn't hear that?

Which game are we talking about?

I don't know.

It was a college game

sometime in the vortex that

has been the last week.

You realize we're in bowl season.

There's like eight games a day.

I know, but it was all over the internet.

I forget the guy's name.

It was not on my internet.

Alabama, maybe?

Alabama game?

If it was against Michigan,

they deserved it.

And people were saying all

kinds of things like he should be banned.

NCAA's not doing anything about it.

Blah, blah, blah.

I'll have to research and

get back to you okay thank

you lebron is also a duke

fan fraud all right guys yeah well

Thanks.

Thank you, everybody,

for joining us for our

little town roundtable every Thursday.

We'll be back next week.

I think the college football

playoff is back next Friday,

next Thursday.

So that'll be interesting.

And with that, we will see everybody then,

I guess.
