Clydesdale Media Podcast

Every Day we take a break from the busy work day to hang out with friends and talk about the world of Sports, Entertainment and Specifically CrossFit. Today we catch up with Cory to see what he is up to and talk about whatever it is you all want to talk about.

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 was that um well

welcome everybody as corey

is dying um we thought if

we had a death on the show

the ratings would go up um

so uh he decided to choke

uh coming out of the break

maybe he's okay now we're good holy cow

Sorry, y'all.

That's usually my role, man.

Right?

That was timed to perfection.

Jesus Christ.

Wow.

Joseph Vermeer must have had

a hell of a bong rip.

I can't even imagine, dude.

My office is in a closet.

Good Lord.

Talk about fumigating the entire place.

Oh, my goodness.

Okay.

I just threw everything on the way.

But like, you know,

I haven't been choking on air.

I don't know if you guys have noticed.

I got diagnosed with pneumonia, what,

a week and a half ago.

I got put on some antibiotics.

Everything seems to be cleared up.

Tomorrow,

I actually have to go in for a

test tomorrow morning for a

pulmonary lung evaluation.

So I guess they put you in a

booth full of oxygen and

you breathe normally and

they test like how everything flows.

And then and I'm not allowed

to like have any caffeine

or take any of my asthma

medicine before I go.

Then after they do all of that,

then they give me like a

breathing treatment and

they're going to see how it

all flows after that.

I'm feeling that right off

the right off the jump.

No caffeine.

Yeah.

So that's tomorrow at like, I think.

And so I have to go tomorrow morning,

no caffeine and kind of get

through the morning and

then go do this test.

And then after it's done,

I can go back to whatever, but, um,

it's been nice not choking

all the time and getting,

I got that before you.

Um, but yeah, it's, uh,

I guess it's been like a

longterm pneumonia.

Like it's been around for a

while and just was

misdiagnosed a couple of times.

And what'd you say was the

rock and pneumonia and the

boogie boogie flu?

Uh, probably not the food part.

Yeah.

I didn't, I didn't,

I saw a lot of Oogie Boogies

instead of Boogie Boogies.

That is fair.

Just for mirrors is just

having bacon for lunch, man.

He's living the dream if that's the case.

Getting your protein in,

but might need to watch the

fat intake there, buddy.

You can have fat.

It's the sugar that kills you,

coordinator.

yeah so uh who needs lungs

anyway overrated yeah

overrated speaking of food

oh my gosh my mom my mom my

mom my wife my wife will

kill me for saying that ah

Anyway, my wife last night,

so we went to Pennsylvania

over the weekend and then

two late night football games.

Last night after work,

I was downright wasted.

I got on the couch and I

went out for a couple hours

like last night.

It was awesome.

I haven't had a nap in like years.

So anyway, I wake up.

My wife had stuffed banana peppers.

with beef and sausage and a

little bit of marinara sauce.

Oh my gosh, man.

It was freaking incredible.

Incredible.

They just had like a nice heat to them.

Yeah.

Um, with the stuffing and she, uh,

put Parmesan cheese in the meat.

So it kind of like, you know,

Yeah.

That's right.

That's the best way to wake up from a nap.

Yeah.

Great way to, yeah.

Like literally I wake up and she's like,

Hey, you want supper?

And she went,

she like prepared me a plate

and brought it.

I don't,

I don't know if my wife has done that, uh,

in years.

Usually my wife is like,

get it your damn self.

Um, but yeah, like it was pretty,

pretty cool.

And it was great.

That's amazing.

steamy roland uh yum living

the life I need a wife

highly recommend it I saw

it uh just eat meat and

fruit and you'll you'll

just need baby wipes in the

bathroom there you go he

ain't wrong he ain't wrong

oh man what's up with you man

Oh, living a sore life.

Training, living, working.

Finally getting my hair cut.

Thank God.

Travis says, rather than get a wife,

he's just going to cook himself.

I think my boy's been burned.

A little bit.

A little bit, a little bit, a little bit.

See, Lito,

she says her husband would

starve without her.

It's opposite at my house.

Not long after me and my wife,

when she was my girlfriend,

fiance at the time, moved in together,

she told my mom that I

could never leave because if I did,

they would starve.

Yeah.

I do the vast majority of

the cooking around my office.

Lita says her husband would

starve without her.

My diet would be Pop-Tarts

and frozen pizza without mine.

I mean, I've heard of worse.

I've heard of worse.

I remember my college days.

It was whatever I could find

at that point.

Lita says you would be the dream, Corey.

No, that would be the dream.

Sorry.

What?

I learned to cook a very, very, very,

very long time ago.

Very long time ago.

Had to.

And just kind of kept it up

and kept it up and kept it up.

My dad is a phenomenal cook.

My mother is too.

But my dad does most of the

cooking at home as well.

I make his gumbo.

I make spaghetti the way he

makes spaghetti.

It's that kind of shit like that.

And it kind of expanded on it from there.

But I enjoy it.

And the more I get into

competitive training where

I'm paying attention to

what I eat and whatnot,

I have to figure out how

the best way to batch cook

five pounds of chicken

thighs is on a Sunday.

So I get it done so I can go

do whatever the other shit

that I have to do around the house,

which is, you know,

keep the grass cut and

anything needs to fix it.

I still got to go train and

wash clothes and all the

other good stuff.

So got to be very good at

cooking stuff real quick

that tastes real good.

Yeah, in my household, like,

I'm the better cook.

Like, I have a more diverse background.

I've cooked for a job before.

I was a short-order cook for a while.

Like, I can cook, and I know, like,

flavor profiles and what to

mix with stuff.

Then my wife, like,

she's that pitcher that has, like,

two really great pitches,

but you're going to get

those pitches and you're going to be,

they're going to be strikes every time.

Right.

And like stuff like that, like Italian,

she nails it.

Like, um, if you,

and if you think like in your head,

like old fashioned meals, like,

like, like stroganoff with like steak and,

and noodles and stuff like that.

Like she will drill that

stuff home every single time.

But my wife will admit that

I'm a better cook than her.

And my wife says she hates to cook.

And she would prefer me to be the cook.

But,

but she does some things she is really,

really good at.

That's the same thing we got

going on at my house.

My wife will tell you flat out,

it's not that she doesn't

know how to cook.

She doesn't like to do it.

She's forgotten that she was browned.

She's cooking onions to make

spaghetti sauce one day.

This was years ago.

And she flat forgot it was on the stove.

That happens a lot.

Like she'll go to cooking

stuff and then she'll get

into doing something else

and just forget that it's in there.

So like I'll come home every

once in a while.

She likes to bake.

She can bake, dude.

It's ridiculous.

But I'll come home every

once in a while and I'm like,

what is that smell?

And she's like,

get up from what she's

doing and go run to the

oven or go run to the stove

because she forgot.

Literally, she forgets she was cooking.

It's hilarious.

Lest we forget, while on the air,

a couple months ago,

the fire department showed

up at my house because my

wife had said...

burgers on fire uh in a pan

forgot about him and uh

yeah and that was not the

first time and it probably

won't be the last I thought

that was absolutely

hilarious goodness while

live on the air my alarm

goes off it was awesome

that was fantastic uh no

besides that dude not much um

Just got our Airbnb book

this morning for Legends in December.

Still looking at what we're

going to rent to drive around in Tippie,

but we got part one done,

which is we got our place.

Yeah.

I accidentally forgot

chicken on the grill until

the gas ran out.

I didn't forget it,

but I have run out of gas

before in the middle of

cooking and had to like,

leave everything close, take my tank,

go run in the store, swap them out,

come back in and finish it off.

If I wouldn't believe me, Dan,

we got my wife's actually coming.

So it's going to be me,

her probably Brody and, and, uh,

My boy Gareth, his wife,

and possibly his youngest son as well.

So I don't think the six of

us are rolling around in a U-Haul.

It's probably not a great idea.

Leto asks, how does that work, Scott?

The firemen show up just

because the smoke alarm goes off.

Our smoke alarm is hooked to

our security system.

And if you don't hit the code fast enough,

the fire department will be

dispatched to our house.

What happens is my wife sets

off the fire alarm.

She thinks it's nineteen seventy eight.

You just wave the towel over

the smoke alarm and it'll shut off.

You actually have to go to

the keypad and hit the code.

And she does it so slowly or

forgets to do it.

She's trying to just get the

alarm to stop that by the

time I get there to hit the code,

the fire department is at our house.

So she's dealing with the

immediate problem,

which is the noise and the smoke.

And then when she gets that out of the way,

she figures everything's fine.

No big deal.

And we just move on from there.

Yeah, yeah.

So, yeah.

Simi says, what's legends?

I thought CrossFit just had

the old people.

Okay, so, yeah,

CrossFit did just have the old people.

This is not that put on by the same people,

but this is just the, hey,

let's qualify for this and

then go compete for three days in Tempe,

Arizona.

Phil the pooper says, when my wife cooks,

the smoke detector is also

our dinner bell.

There you go.

Terrible.

And Lita said, oh my God,

they'd be at our house once

a month if that was the case.

We've had to talk to the

police a couple of times,

but it was because the

alarm went off and we

couldn't get to it to turn

it off fast enough.

And they called to make sure

everything was okay.

had that that done before

but not not the fire

department thank god uh

daniel church is a terrible

towel uh yes my wife does

have a terrible towel but

that's not usually what she

uses to try to quiet the

smoke alarm that's too

precious to her um and so

therefore she just uses a

regular old kitchen towel all right um

Does anyone remember the

triangle bell for dinner call?

Just me?

We actually had neighbors

that actually had a hanging bell,

hanging triangle.

And when we'd be out playing,

you'd hear that dinner bell go.

And those kids would all go off running.

We'd never heard that at my house, but...

Jennifer Perrin and them,

they have a whole bunch of

like just random stuff

outside of their house.

Like they have, you know,

a little coin operated kid

ride that you ride.

It just kind of does like that.

They got a helicopter

sitting out by the front door.

At their house.

At the house.

Yeah.

A hundred percent.

They got, so the, the box is open.

They got a whole bunch of

quarters sitting in it.

Like you still have to put a quarter in it,

but then you just reach

down the bottom out of the

box and put a quarter.

The kids love it.

That's one of the things they also have,

who is a,

a bell attached to a big old long string.

Cause we go over there.

Thanksgiving is a big deal over there.

Easter is Easter weekend is

a big deal over there.

So like everybody's there and there's.

Forty-seven kids running around.

So like to get everybody's attention,

somebody will go.

And because there's

forty-seven kids running around,

sometimes the bell just

gets rung for two minutes

at a time because

somebody's just yanking on

it and enjoying the shit

out of themselves.

six years old and you know

how to make noise tends to

be a thing to just go ahead

and make as much of it as

humanly possible and if you

have a bell handy a pretty

darn loud one at that yeah

good stuff dude did you uh

did you catch uh savan's

wfp rant last night I was

in the process of finishing

it up when he went when he

went live with coach this morning so bro

So on that note,

I just wanted to share this.

I saw this last night and I was like,

cause I watched it.

I watched it after I saw this on Instagram,

but this is WFP story.

And I, and I love the media people, right?

Like we all do.

Right.

But here is meet the media

team and they show like

little clips of their media team,

all getting ready or doing their thing.

Right.

Why are we doing this when

people still don't

understand the point system?

Yeah, I don't get that at all.

How is this getting you

excited to watch an event?

It's... It's not... It makes

no dang sense at all, man.

It's not.

No...

I won't say nobody cares.

That's not true.

The people that take

pictures of me have always

made me look way fitter

than I absolutely am.

God bless them for that.

The people who are on the floor announcing,

the people who are on the broadcast,

God bless them for that.

That's not an easy job to do.

I am well aware of that.

We are two events in.

Nobody still knows how.

Nobody knows why.

Nobody knows what.

Like all the things, right?

Who, what, when, where.

We got who.

We got the who now.

The who is definitely now.

But the why and the when.

The who and the when.

The why and the what and the how.

No idea.

Wait,

you just told me there are two old

people comps?

I'm shook.

That makes no sense.

And neither does WTF.

You want to take this one?

Well, there are a lot of old people comps.

There are really four major

old people comps.

There is the games.

There is Masters Fitness Championships.

There is Legends.

And there's Waterpalooza.

Yeah.

Those are like your four

main Masters competitions

throughout the season.

There is a rumor out there

that WFP is adding a

Masters division for next season.

Correct.

I personally think...

They need to get their shit

together with what they got

before they add more.

Maybe focus on what you have.

So, yeah.

They copied what was done at

the games in Albany.

Yeah, with the black and white photos,

I guess.

But everybody understands what CrossFit is,

right?

So you don't have to take

the time to explain what it is.

WFP is copying this stuff.

And if you listen to Will on

that podcast that Savan

talked about yesterday,

he says it's just like

every other tour event.

But the people in the

CrossFit space who aren't

sports watchers don't know

what that means.

And they're living on this

preface that everybody

knows what a tour event

style season looks like.

And nobody does.

I'm telling my listeners

that we talk every single

day are in the chats going,

I don't get the point system.

I don't understand.

And so...

I've beat this dead horse

about the road to Copenhagen.

Nobody cares about the road

to Copenhagen unless you

understand the point system.

And they've skipped over

steps to do these cliche

marketing pieces that make

absolutely no sense to anybody.

And I thought Sevan made a

great point about that

they're not even excited

about their own product.

Jason Ainsley was excited on

Coffee Pods and Wads, right?

And maybe he needs to be the

spokesperson because Will

laid back with your hat on

backwards and I know I'm

sounding like an old

fifty-five year old man

screaming at the clouds at

these kids these days but

it looks so laissez-faire

and I think that that adds

to why people are

turned off by it is that oh

no a hundred percent if you

don't understand how like

golf like golf works or

tennis works because that's

that's what like you know

the pro tour type stuff

where you can accumulate

points or even uh nascar

racing where you accumulate

points over the season

But those are very specific things.

So if you don't understand

how any of that works and

somebody's just like, well,

you just accumulate points

and you just kind of move on from there.

How?

Like laissez faire.

Yes, Jeff,

that's exactly what I was thinking.

You're never going to be

able to pick that up.

It's just not going to happen.

Dan Church, I got to be honest,

I don't watch other sports

other than fitness.

WFP makes more sense than

every time HQ changes a

qualifying process.

That's why I was on board

with WFP at the beginning.

But there is a big chunk of

people that do not

understand the point system

and what that means for

people at the end of the season.

That is where the fight is.

The fight is for getting to

the top twenty in points by

the end of the season.

So you have a salary for next year.

But they're just not explaining it well.

And even when I put out that

graphic last week with a

red line saying these are

the people above the line,

these are the people below the line,

they put out slides.

It's so dumb.

I can't even believe I'm

talking about this again.

But I'm here on their site,

so I'm going to pull it up.

So here are the tour points.

Finally, I'm thinking, oh, we got it.

Well, here's the top twenty.

Then here's the next ten.

And then the next five out.

Well,

these five out aren't even in the

competition.

Why are you even including them?

They didn't make it to

Copenhagen for the finals.

And there's no red line or

nothing to understand like

why these guys are on this

page and why these guys are on this page.

There's no explanation to it.

They just leave it for

everybody to kind of figure it out.

And Dan may understand it,

and I'm glad he does,

but I've had so many people

come to me and say they do not.

They do not get it.

So.

I don't.

I don't understand it.

I understand the concept behind it,

but like.

Again,

I'm one hundred percent with you on

the why are we even showing

these these these other five people?

What does that even on the

graphic for you had space

you thought you think you

need to fill up?

Just make it bigger.

From what I understand,

after the first two,

the leaderboard is more or less set.

It's not a whole lot that's

going to change once you

actually get to Copenhagen.

Somebody was talking about

that a couple of weeks ago.

More or less,

this is what you're looking at,

which is kind of what we

figured from the very beginning.

So again, you're showing stuff up there.

Why not just put that out?

Hey, this is what we got going on.

These are where these people are.

If this, then that.

If this happens,

then this person could move up.

If this happens,

then this person could move up.

But if you don't have

anybody to explain that,

whether it be in a reel,

on a broadcast somewhere, written down,

just typed out as part of that graphic.

here's your top ten, top twenty,

whatever it is.

Here's your next level of people.

If these people do X, Y, Z,

and this happens here,

then they can get whatever

it is at the end of the season,

and then we'll have a new

season next year.

Lito, can I just say, though,

I'm just happy we now have

one to two comps to watch

every month and don't have

to wait until spring for the next one.

That was my thing going into it.

And to be honest,

I've watched every minute of the WFP.

I've watched every event

from start to finish.

And not just because I have to,

but because I have friends

that are competing.

And it's fun for me to watch.

What's frustrating for me is

trying to explain it to

people because they don't understand.

That's the problem.

And I know I'm being

nitpicky here at this point,

but what Lita was saying, I would love to,

I would watch it if it was on YouTube.

Not the replays on YouTube.

I don't watch replays of the games.

When the games was on and my

people who finished fifth

in teams were on, I paused it.

If I had to leave the house,

left it on the TV,

went and did whatever I had to do,

came back and watched it

from where it was,

like turned my phone off,

didn't look at anything

else because I want to catch it live.

That's just how I am.

I won't watch replays.

I don't like watching replays.

like a football game on slow,

if that makes sense.

I want to see it as it's happening.

I'm not watching it if it's

on their website.

I'm just not.

I don't get notification for it.

I don't know it's on.

I'm not going to dig for it.

The last time I tried to

actually watch a part of it

for the last part when I

knew it was live and I

still couldn't find it, on their site,

because it's not user-friendly.

See, again,

I think that's a dead horse

that we've been pounding forever.

And I get it.

I know why they're doing it.

They are trying to court a

streaming service.

The way that YouTube counts

its views is not

advantageous for a streamer

to know truly how many

people are watching your event.

And so they need to show

them a certain number of

the streaming service isn't

probably going to use

youtube either so they need

to know if they're going to

get in bed with them what

numbers are they looking at

so there's that um hey it's

a bold strategy cotton

let's see how it plays out for him it is

And forever,

like the one thing about

YouTube is you don't get

paid by YouTube to be on there, right?

If they get with a streaming service,

they're going to get money

to be on that streaming service.

It's just,

it's not what we are used to as

a community at all.

And so it is kind of a bold

strategy to go in that direction.

But I do understand it.

The obsession you have with WFP is insane.

You think they're a joke.

We get it.

So many people in this space

just complain all day long.

Just rename this podcast

Complaints for Time.

Listen,

when I have complained about the WFP,

it's been constructive.

I've always given what I

think is the right solution,

and I've backed them for

most of this season.

And what I think is

something that CrossFit has

never done is put a season

together that makes sense.

And I wanted to see what it was like.

I am frustrated that they've

missed some steps that make

that experiment of a make

sense CrossFit season null

and void because they're

just missing some basic points.

so uh day one listener here

and I'm out okay we're a

daily show we talk about

what's it what's going on

in the sport not a problem um

I've search point system

tracked both tour stops,

frustratingly cast laptop

to TV for viewing with many issues,

guessing most people don't

care that much or give up.

Again, I think that echoes everything.

It's I wanted this to work

to see if you had a streamlined season,

what could it look like?

And there's been too many

missteps and less

explanation for people to

understand it and even see

if it makes sense to them.

So to what Eric's saying

right there makes a lot of

sense to me because it's

not that I don't care.

I wish them well.

I really do.

I would love, the more,

like you've been saying

since they announced that it was a thing,

the better for us,

the more things that there are,

the more high level,

high visibility things that there are,

it's better for CrossFit as

a sport in general.

You need to have competition.

Absolutely.

If you're the only game in town,

nobody gives a shit, right?

especially if you're not

putting out the highest

quality product you

possibly can at that point,

then nobody gives a damn.

But when you make it

convoluted without explaining it,

when you make it extremely,

I won't say extremely,

when you make it

frustratingly hard to be a part of,

as in participate, as in watch, then no,

I'm not going to care.

I'm not going to care at that point.

If I can't just go and then turn it on,

then I'm probably not going

to turn it on part of the

part of the reason why I

enjoy watching the games is

that I get a notification on my phone.

Oh shit.

I forgot that was on.

Let me turn that on.

Um,

Scott and Corey say three points each

on what WFP could do better in Denmark.

One.

I've already said this on

other on the Sunday night

show two weeks ago.

Um,

tell the story better make

people understand what is

the red line for the for

getting a salary next year

or not and who is fighting

for it who are in that

danger zone of losing it or

in the advantageous spot of

winning it that I think is

key I think the lighting

needs to be fixed on the outside lanes

For the broadcast because I

thought it looked good in

the middle of the lanes But

on the outsides it was a

little dim for me and they

need to fix the audio on

the on the stream the audio

was terrible this time and

What I have learned in

studying podcasting and I'm

sure it's like that for

broadcast people will sit

through rough video way

longer than they'll sit

through rough audio and

That is a thousand percent correct.

I'd tell you that as a, as a,

as a consumer, anytime, uh,

when was that semifinals,

some broadcast for

semifinals a couple of years ago,

like the sound or might've

been water Palooza, one or two,

the sound was horrible

cutting in and out scratchy sound.

Like it was, it was just terrible.

And,

I don't say part of the

reason I'm watching.

You can watch,

especially depending on what

kind of camera angles they give you,

and you can kind of

half-ass follow what's going on.

But if you can't hear whoever it is, Sean,

Chase, Bill,

whoever it is doing the

commentating to give you direction,

because sometimes the

people are this big on the screen.

Yeah.

Right.

And if it's not somebody you

are intimately familiar with,

I have absolutely no idea who that is.

And it gets really, really hard to follow.

So if you can't hear it,

I just turn it off like this is annoying.

This is frustrating.

I'm just going to turn it

off until something better

until until they fix it.

Whatever the case,

whatever the case that that is.

And if they're especially if

they're doing it.

And again,

I don't want to take it away

from anything from Brian Friend,

who did everything he could

to try to broadcast the

best that he could.

But if he's not aware of the

fact that the sound is bad,

then it's just going to

take that much longer before it fixes it.

And then people are just

flocking away from it at

that point because, holy shit,

this is terrible and I

cannot follow this.

All right.

That's enough time on WFP.

Yes.

We have some other things coming up.

We've got Wadapalooza SoCal

in like a week and a half.

That's going to be fun.

And Kerstetter getting Alex's spot,

I think is making it even

more exciting for that event.

I know I saw they're

bringing back the beach

event where you have to

move seventy five hundred

pounds of equipment from

one end of the beach to the other.

which I thought was an

amazing event last year.

Super excited to see that again.

A couple of the events.

I'm not a big team deadlifter.

I don't think it's a great movement.

And that and burpees,

maybe not my favorite one to watch.

But some of the other ones

sound really cool.

So we have that.

But Lito says here,

now she wants to complain

about who's getting invited to Rogue.

So because we're a complaint show now,

I guess, uh, I will,

I will put this up for

people to complain about.

Um, you know,

yesterday I didn't complain

about anything, you know, I didn't, I,

I didn't,

we had a nice discussion about GLP ones,

you know, it was a nice, yeah,

I didn't even get,

I didn't even get irritated

or like upset yesterday.

It was a great show as it turns out.

Anyway,

with that back to the

complaints um most recently

announced we have we I

think we've gone through

samuel quant in past shows

emma tall that's an obvious

choice uh hatfield hayley

adams yona koski and mano anganese

So that is added on to Juan Spiegel,

Noah Olson, Abby Domet, Chandler Smith,

Olivia Kerstetter, Guy Mejeros,

Lucy Campbell, Heinrich Heipleinen,

Paige Semenza,

and Colton Mertens and Gracie Walton.

And Gracie Walton.

Okay.

Olivia, I get it.

Yeah.

Lucy, I get it.

Right.

That makes sense to me.

Yep.

Colton, what are you saying?

Gracie.

Yep.

Haley and Austin.

Because at this point,

I don't think you can

invite one and not the other.

Right.

Emmett tall and quant.

I get that.

Mr. Mr. Mr. Sam quant.

Absolutely.

But, man, Mano has had a terrible season.

I was about to say.

She's had a terrible season.

I get the numbers,

and she does well at Rogue.

Yeah, she's strong.

It's strength-based.

Good for her.

She did well at the games.

But, man.

I mean, Noah?

Chandler.

Another one.

I don't know.

I don't want to pick on too many people,

but I don't want to pick on anybody.

Okay.

So see what Dan says right

there at the bottom,

that gain speed will make

sense from a spectacle standpoint.

Uh,

helping called out who is going to be

invited next right on the nose.

He's good.

Uh, there's a, there's a chart out there.

It's the rogue point system.

You can just go and look at the top.

Fifteen.

And again, it is their competition.

They can invite whoever they want.

It does not matter.

I just, I don't,

I would love to know the

thinking behind some of these people.

I understand.

I wonder if some of the top

fifteen have declined

invites or if they're

inviting more than fifteen

since they've invited

people who are outside the

top fifteen on their leaderboard.

I'm betting some people probably declined.

Do we know,

are they doing the Legends

thing again over there?

I heard they are.

I heard Rich is going over.

He said whatever Legends

they decide to have.

That's what was fun to watch.

I like watching them come

out there and do that

because they get randomly

paired up basically.

And it's like, okay, line them up and see,

see what you got.

And it's, you know, it's all people I,

I hate to say grew up on cause I'm,

I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like,

I'm like, I'm like, I'm like,

Um,

it's the people that are nursing

injuries.

Um, if you are not a power output athlete,

your chances of doing well

are not awesome.

Um, so, so we'll see.

Stan,

I'll say this about Jackson being

ranked seventeenth and he did the Q,

but they invited him to

Concord instead is that, um,

Up until just recently,

Saxon wasn't even

supposedly not competing anymore.

And now he is.

Yeah, again, it's an invitational.

They can invite whoever they want.

Correct.

They want to invite Jeffrey

Birchfield from the random

chats and Judge Extraordinaire.

They can.

Which would be awesome, by the way.

I think this is pretty accurate here.

Yeah.

I love the legends doing stuff,

but they need to make it an

actual competition,

do something for charity

rather than just an

exhibition where they don't really care.

I think so too.

the first year they tried to do it as a

competition,

like straight up and it was

tough for some of the athletes to,

and I don't think they all

looked awesome during those

things but I think it just

needs to be programmed

right and it needs to be

for charity so I would say

that part of that is that

the riches and the spielers

and and whatnot like they

don't you can't turn it on

and turn it off once it's

on it's on right so they

know they're coming in to

actually compete for something

Like that rewire something in their brain.

It would for me.

I know that for a fact,

like I'm coming out.

Oh, we actually compete.

OK, but I think if you.

I think you can put a break on that,

you know,

tone it down a little bit by saying, OK,

here's going to be.

We're going to do the

legends part of it here.

We're going to pick teams before anything,

anybody ever gets there.

You know,

Kalipa and Rich are on a team together.

They are competing for this charity.

If they win,

Ruby's going to give however

many dollars to this charity.

You know,

make it a charity event like that

and have them paired up.

or if it's male, female,

whatever the case may be,

however you look at it as

far as that goes,

that would be fun to watch as a sideshow.

Lord knows there's enough

sideshows going on at Rogue,

but that would just be

another added thing for

them to be able to do.

I think that'd be a fantastic idea.

Colton in the house.

Legends won't come if it's a competition.

And I think if they keep it

like they did the first

year when like the older

legends in the first five

years of the competition

didn't look as good as some

of the older competitors,

I don't think they would come.

So I do think he's accurate on that.

I think they'd have to build

it as a competition.

that did allow the older

athletes to kind of hide.

Uh, so maybe like two person teams,

but keep the teams together

for the weekend.

Um,

and then do it for charity or something

like that.

Um, I think when they alternate throughout,

it just takes away some of

the fun of like,

who's like that because it

seems so random whenever they,

whenever they got up, like, Oh,

now all of a sudden it's, you know,

it's these two together.

Ooh.

All right.

Pairing an elite athlete

with a teen athlete,

that'd be fun to watch.

I don't think people know

enough about the teens at this point.

But yeah, I agree with Andrew.

There's definitely a way it

can be done and have it,

I won't say mean something,

but mean something to the

guys that are there to

where you're actually

trying to do something right by somebody.

So what do we have coming up this fall?

We've got Masters Fitness Championship.

We've got Wadapalooza SoCal.

We've got Rogue.

Yep.

We've got WFP Copenhagen.

When is that?

December.

Is it December?

Yeah.

And then typically we'd have

Wadapalooza to start the year,

but they've moved to March, I believe.

Yeah.

It's not in February anymore.

They moved it a little bit

further down the calendar.

Oh, and Legends is also in December.

Oh, yeah.

Legends in December as well.

And I think that's before WFP.

WFP is like a week before Christmas.

We are flying out on

December the eleventh.

So it's like the weekend before Christmas,

basically.

Isn't Dubai in December?

Is Dubai still happening?

That's an honest question

because I couldn't tell you

a single event that

happened at Dubai last year

if it in fact happened last year.

And Crash.

Going to be an exciting fall season.

Crash is fun, dude.

Crash is fun to watch.

I enjoy that a whole lot.

TFX is in January.

That's a fun one too.

back to Dubai.

Like,

I think that's the one competition

that I've just lost

interest in that when they

streamed it for real, for real, like I,

I would watch it.

Let it is, it,

it can't be done on the

Brian friend channel.

no gopro right it just it's

so large in scope of what

they do there and scale

like just a guy running

around with a gimbal or a

drone trying to catch

footage of people running

in the sand dunes

It has to be because of the

way it's designed.

Plus,

it's hard because they don't even let

the announcers in the stadium.

They have to do it from the

television sets outside.

It's crazy.

And so it's hard to watch for me now.

And I tune in just enough to

know kind of what's going

on so we can talk about it.

But it's really hard to

watch for me these days.

Like I said, I don't even,

couldn't tell you who won it.

Couldn't tell you who went, who didn't go,

nothing.

Yeah, like in the old days,

like the sand dune workout was awesome.

When it was covered well, you know,

Acid Bath was famous.

They had a lot of great

workouts and it was a lot

of fun to watch.

And they had a lot of big names there.

I mean, you had Frazier, you had Horvat,

you had all these people there competing.

And it was fun to watch.

It's just gone downhill since then.

It was fun to watch.

There was a good hype machine behind it.

You know, oh man, they come in,

they're flying halfway around the world.

They're going to use the

landscape of Dubai to promote, you know,

to actually compete in.

Remember they had the,

was it a run on the indoor ski slope?

Like all that kind of stuff, dude.

Like Dubai Instagram last

post was in twenty twenty four.

That's from our stats and information girl,

Holly, who crushes it all the time.

Dan, yes.

The twenty-minute FTP bike test.

And that was at the top of a

hotel because they were all

looking out over the landscape.

Yep.

Yeah.

Actually,

I think... The run-up to Burge was epic,

too.

It was.

They did some really cool stuff.

Um...

But it's losing interest fast for me.

I don't know anything else about it.

Like I said,

I have not heard a single word.

And I believe her.

They haven't made a post

since twenty twenty four.

That's kind of telling

because we're almost to

twenty twenty six at this point.

Yeah.

Closer to that than we are

to twenty twenty four.

The last thing I got for you

before I head out is.

got an email from rogue

saying I was approved for a

press pass sweet oh did I

pay for your hotel and

flight as well uh I didn't

apply even better dear bill

and kate what happened

usually I'm fighting tooth

and nail to get media

credentials for an event

yeah I get an email hey

you're approved for rogue

media credentials I was like

Well, damn, I didn't even apply.

That's amazing.

You just won the lottery

without buying a ticket.

I would email back and be like, hey,

I will be more than happy

to come and exercise my press pass.

However...

being as hot in Aberdeen, Scotland,

I'm going to need a couple of things.

Uh, airfare, airfare would be fantastic.

Yeah.

In a hotel somewhere to stay would be,

would be, would be pretty nice.

That is awesome.

Meredith.

I'm taking it as a big compliment.

Bill and Katie live right down the,

like they're, they're like, they're like,

they're like, they're like, they're like,

they're like, they're like

That's awesome.

Oh, see,

they can invite whoever they want.

There you go.

I got the invite for press.

If the trend continues like

they did for the games and

like WFP is doing,

there's going to be a black

and white picture of Scott.

There you go.

what's your media what's

your uh here's your here's

your rogue here's your

rogue invitational media

and picture scott I heard

pc is next to room available awesome

That ought to work out really,

really well.

I think the whole team needs

to go to that one.

Well, generally,

Carolyn goes because

Carolyn has been their

tester of the workouts for years.

She does not tell me if she

gets picked for that every year.

She likes to keep that

really hush-hush so nobody

asks her anything.

But she's been the last

couple years just because of that.

I don't know.

Maybe they're having us do a

live podcast on the tailgate party.

That would be fantastic.

Ask if you can ride on the rogue jet.

Go enjoy the vacation.

Take the wife.

Can't wait to see Scott and his press kit.

Kilt.

Yes!

There you go.

Scott rolls up.

Oh, look.

Athletes this way.

Media this way.

Come get your kilt.

That would be something to

hang on the wall behind you.

You hear me?

Oh, yeah.

Here's my rogue kilt right

here on the wall behind me.

It's fantastic, dude.

I would love to go to Scotland.

That's like the one place in

Europe I want to go so bad is Ireland,

Scotland, that whole area.

But

But yeah,

I got that in the email and I was like,

dang.

It's like,

did I apply for something in my sleep?

I don't even remember doing this.

I know.

Because usually I'm like

fighting and clawing and

whatever to get media.

I mean,

look at the Masters games just now

and you got approved.

Yay!

You got free admission, basically.

They just gave you a weekend pass.

Here you go.

That's awesome.

Andrews went last year.

He said, it's amazing.

I am traveled out.

I got one last travel for

the year and that is to go to, uh,

go compete at legends,

but between my son's senior

trip and then we went to

the keys and then I went to

Kansas and now I'm going to legends.

Like we ain't flying nowhere else.

Uh, at AI,

did you read the email and is it

enhanced media?

I did not read it carefully.

I should preface that.

I, I, I did not read it carefully.

Um, that's what shocked it came.

Uh, Scott rolling in riding dirty.

I imagine Lito is probably correct.

Yeah.

It's probably pretty damn cool.

Well, my next travel is this weekend.

I'm heading to Montana.

And she's excited.

She's already listed eight

hundred things she's taking us to see.

I don't know how we're

fitting all that in because

she still has to work a little bit.

Oh, my gosh.

Yeah, I know.

I know exactly what you said.

It's got the king of hustle.

Yeah.

Last time I checked in,

I'm not allowed to give

myself a nickname.

That's kind of the rules of nicknames,

right?

That's how it was when... Now, I'm old.

That's how it was when I was a kid.

I have never known anyone

who tried to give

themselves a nickname and

then had it actually stick.

Save one person.

And I don't even... That's the only one.

I don't know.

All right.

Well, yeah,

we've got two more shows this

week before I hit a plane to Montana.

And it's going to be weird

because out there it's

going to be ten a.m.

that I'm going to be doing

the lunch shows.

But we'll be doing those next week.

And.

I've got tomorrow where

we'll talk about whatever's happening.

Uh, probably complaining again.

Cause that's,

that's the kind of show we are.

And then, um, and then Friday,

Jason grubs going to be on the show.

Oh, good.

Six time masters champion.

So we'll do some old people working out.

Talk again.

Consecutive.

Six consecutive championships.

Get a man to do it.

so and again I'm going to

try to keep it a hangout

show where we just kind of

talk about stuff and not

necessarily because he's

been on the show before and

so we don't need to do

origin story or anything

like that uh probably just

to state of the masters the

question I really want to

know is we question mayhem

and is it a conflict of

interest that they are such

an integral part of the

crossfit game season

Boulder athlete has done the

same now for the Masters athletes.

Is it a conflict of interest

that they are now so big

with so many athletes?

Just send me a link.

I'll come talk to him about it.

And then he is programming legends,

which you are competing at.

Which is why I want you to send me a link.

For the integrity of the sport.

Which is why I want you to send me a link.

Because I'll come bug your shadow.

Just tell me one event.

Just one.

You and Grubb will probably just complain.

Probably.

But come get some Grubb on the lunch show.

Come get some Grubb on the lunch show.

Jason's not a complainer.

No, he's a good dude.

MFC or Legends, which is the better comp?

I am.

It's not an easy answer.

I will say that.

It's not.

There are some, I would,

if you gave me a row pros and cons,

the check marks would be

split between the two.

I have competed at both.

And yeah, I would say there's definitely a,

there's definitely a

demarcation line there between the two.

And yeah,

Some stuff they're better at,

some stuff they're better at,

some stuff they're not great at,

some stuff they're also not great at.

You can pick your poison at that point.

Yep.

All right, guys.

It was a fun one,

but I got to get back to

work and you know, go ahead.

Before you go.

So John, let me address that record.

Like he's not competing,

but his athletes are, his athletes are,

and he's got a shit ton of them,

but he's not this year.

So we'll finish on that with that.

Thank you everybody.

Get back to work.

I'm getting back to work.

We'll see everybody tomorrow.

Bye guys.
