and we're on the road to Knoxville.
But before then, let's hang.
From the gym to the screen, yeah,
we cover it all.
Midday motivation every time you press
call.
Lunch with the Clydesdale.
Cowboy bring the heat.
Crossfit, boobies, music on repeat.
Half hour hustle, yeah,
we building that brand.
Grab a plate, tune in now,
you part of the fam.
It's lunch time!
What's going on, everybody?
Welcome to Lunch with the Clydesdale and
the Cowboys Pack.
I am.
We've got Lito and Joseph and Jody.
That's a hell of a crew right there.
I mean, three of my favorite people.
Yeah, there it is.
Man, I haven't seen you in...
Well,
Friday I drove to Houston to go to
a Pitbull and Lil Jon concert.
How was that?
Did you milk the cow?
I was telling... No.
Oddly enough.
I was telling Jennifer on the way up
there.
So Lil Jon technically opened the show,
right?
Yeah.
So he had like an hour set.
And I was telling Jennifer on the way
up there, I was like...
He's not, he's not really a rapper.
He's a producer, right?
He makes all these beats and whatnot.
He's featured on a whole lot of stuff,
you know, would yeah.
And all that.
So I can't imagine.
what a, what a pit, what a,
what a Lil Jon set would look like.
Like you can,
you can pretty much guess what Pitbull is
going to come out there and sing,
whatever.
Um, so I told you, I said,
I got to imagine it is just going
to be him up on stage,
just like vibe into his own music.
And that's exactly what that dude did.
He got out there and.
You know, they, they came out to,
I forgot what song he started off with,
but I had the mic.
was basically singing along to whatever
song it was and did a whole lot
of yeah and okay and whatnot okay yeah
and when and told people what one of
the first things he did actually was you
know hey you know thank you thank you
thank everybody for all the positive
messages after i lost my son earlier this
year you know um was very very he
seemed very very grateful for that that
kind of stuff support and all that and
then he went on for an hour to
i'm
bring everybody back to the two thousands
and i was like yeah we kind of
figured that um and he just kept and
like he must have said that probably five
or six different times and like the dj
would play a song something that he
produced right and he would rap along with
it for a little bit you know maybe
sing his part of it if there was
his part and then at like at one
point probably about halfway through the
show he legitimately said
produced all of these songs y'all and we
were like yeah we know like we're aware
of the fact that you produced all these
songs man uh but yeah mark says all
i can hear is lazy town remix with
little john i don't even know why i
no idea what lazy town is uh but
anyway
And then he did his thing for a
while, and then Pitbull came on.
Mr. Worldwide.
Mr. Worldwide, Mr. Three Oh Five.
I mean,
if I wouldn't have been so tired,
it was a pretty good show.
Or if you were fifteen years younger with
a later bedtime.
the later bedtime hundred percent hundred
percent so it was i mean it was
it would if again had i not been
up since you know or thirty five o'clock
that morning it would have been i'd i'd
enjoyed it a whole lot more uh my
wife had a blast which i was not
expecting fireball second to last song
should have been the last but okay um
ended with uh
just brought my life from a negative to
a positive i just want y'all to know
that um whatever one that is that's what
he ended with i thought he was going
with fireball too i would say probably a
majority of the people in there thought
he's going to end with fireball but he
did not just you know one key to
knowing that you're old now is when you
can sing all the lyrics but you can't
name the song
Correct.
That means you are now over forty five.
Oh, yeah.
And have been for quite some time.
Pitbull is forty five.
FYI,
we looked that up on the way up
there, too,
because I think it's like he's got to
be close to my age.
But look, dude, he came on.
See, Lil Jon started at eight.
Was done by right at nine o'clock.
Pitbull came on like nine, fifteen-ish,
nine, ten, nine, fifteen.
And by ten-thirty,
we were in the car headed back to
Jennifer's cousin's house.
Good stuff.
Hexy lover, hello, CNC.
Hello, everybody else.
Like, share, and subscribe.
CNC,
all I can think about is I'm just
a squirrel trying to get a nut to
move your butt.
Get on the dance floor.
It's an old school rap, man.
All day long.
I have,
and this has been since I was a
little kid, lyrics stick in my head,
and they always have.
I'll hear something that I haven't heard
in God knows how long,
and within two or three bars,
I'm singing right along with it.
I'm like, yeah, I know.
I'm one hundred percent remember this
song.
It's wild.
Joseph appears to be having a much better
day than us.
shot shot shot shot shots they actually he
little john played shots it was great dude
they had big video walls behind him so
like they would play either snippets of
the video like from whatever song or they
would play the actual video and then they
would put lyrics up on the screen
like it was a karaoke party and, um,
or like,
we didn't know what all the words were
like, come on, dude,
that that's an SNL skit.
The little John karaoke party.
Yeah.
A hundred percent.
Yeah.
That was fantastic.
But no, we had,
we had a good time and I woke
up at a ridiculous hour the next morning
and went dropped in at CrossFit Igneous.
And, uh,
Tom ball, shout out to those people.
They were, they were awesome.
Uh, Joseph says, no,
he feels like garbage.
No, it might.
I was telling just briefly that my back's
been aching.
Cause I bought,
so I've been trying to organize my garage.
Like for the first time in my life,
My daughter's moved out.
We actually have a little bit of
disposable income trying to organize my
garage.
I've had this old plastic resin toolbox
that like two of the wheels are broke
and it's leaning to one side.
And so I went and bought like a
big ass metal toolbox.
Right.
When I get to the store,
they put it in my car.
They had it on a hydraulic lift that
lifted it up,
and then we just pushed it into my
Murano, right?
So we get home.
You don't have one of those at home?
It's just me.
You don't have a hydraulic lift at home
to unload stuff out of your car?
So the toolbox without the packaging is
like two hundred and twenty pounds.
Oh.
That's heavy.
So my wife goes, what's your plan?
I said, well,
my plan is to pull it out,
pivot it, pivot it,
get it on its bottom,
take the box off around it.
Yeah.
And then it's got wheels and I'll just
roll it up into the garage.
Sure.
Solid plan.
So I get it out.
I pivot it.
get it on the bottom,
got the box down, no wheels.
They are in the bottom drawer of the
toolbox.
Oh, no.
So now the idea is, okay,
now I've got to get this propped up
where I can install the casters so I
can roll it into my garage.
so i've seen them flip a pig at
the crossfit games you know i'll just lift
it up on one side switch it to
a clean press it up on one end
and i'll install the casters get the top
two on uh there's no way i'm getting
it on to the bottom that with it
laying on the ground
So now another pig flip down,
but easing it down so it doesn't crash.
Yeah.
Then another pig flip up.
So now the bottoms are on the top.
Put the casters on.
Another pig flip down, easing it.
And I think it was the easing it
down that got me,
not the pig flip up.
Probably.
It was the easing it down so it
didn't crash.
Yeah.
Time and attention type stuff.
Yeah.
And then pushed it into my garage.
But damn, my back is sore.
Sore, not hurt, just sore.
Yeah, no, you feel it.
You did something.
A lot.
Yes.
Joseph is still shut down from the last
semifinal workout.
I just go ask a neighbor's husband.
I have hurt myself too much.
Actually, if I have a plan,
CrossFit girls are the best, strong,
and they listen.
You know, I know it's all ego,
and I just can't reserve.
I cannot go ask for help.
No.
And then there's this sense of
accomplishment that I did all of this on
my own.
hundred percent i'm gonna look at it i'm
gonna figure out the best way for me
to be able to do it by myself
and that's probably why i've had twelve
back procedures it's probably something to
do with it yeah probably i would say
and at some point maybe when i get
to sixty i'll learn to ask for you
though
Uh, you see that the meme on the,
on, on, you know,
Instagram and all over our time that,
you know, men are just overgrown children.
And like, that's a hard fact for the,
most of us is like,
I'm not asking anybody for help.
I got this.
I am strong.
I'll work out.
I can pick up this box.
Oh,
it weighs two hundred twenty pounds by
itself.
Not with the packaging.
Yeah, no, it'd be fine.
I just pick up one side at a
time.
That's only a hundred and ten pounds.
Plus, it's fine.
No big deal.
Well, and it's not like a deadlift.
It's not like it has a bar like
a deadlift, right?
No, it's awkward.
It is awkward.
Yeah.
Dude,
there's so many things at my house that
I've moved that my wife has gotten me
to move, I should say, that she's like,
it's not that heavy.
And I'm like, no, it's not heavy.
It's awkward.
That's the difference.
I can pick it up real easy.
If it had handles or some knurling
somewhere maybe where I lock my thumbs in
on it, that'd be fantastic.
Yeah,
if it had a bar to ease it
down,
I would have been better off than trying
to get this
Forty eight inch wide thing to the ground
without crashing.
Like if I'm trying to get around a
box and I got to try to get
up underneath it,
like I'm like this at some point.
I don't know if you know this or
not,
but this is not a real efficient way
to hold something that's real heavy.
No, no.
Lita says the biggest problem having
muscles is that people keep expecting you
to use them in real life.
hundred percent dude uh during uh like
when we first got locked down for covid
one of our neighbors down the street had
a bench and like she saw us working
out the garage she said we got a
bench in here that we don't ever use
do you want it and i was like
heck yes we want it
So I,
and Jamison was this big at the time,
right?
She wouldn't,
but like two or two and a half,
three years old.
So I went,
walked down there to go pick it up.
And, uh,
she went to like three houses now and
she said,
you want me to help you carry it
over there?
And I was like, nah,
we train for this kind of stuff.
It's fine.
Got this on one shoulder and my,
my daughter on the other shoulder and was
walking back down the street with it.
Good stuff.
Um,
Wayne says,
next time back up at twenty miles an
hour,
hit your brakes when you get to the
garage.
Twenty seems excessive, Wayne.
I think you could do that at six
miles an hour and achieve the same
results.
Wayne,
did you miss the part where I didn't
want it to crash to the ground?
He wouldn't listen to none of that.
No, no.
In my neighborhood,
I'm the resident strong man and everyone
comes to ask me and help lift things.
That's fantastic, Shannon.
Yeah,
if she wouldn't walk around with the gold
medal on her that she won at the
games,
they probably wouldn't ask her as much.
Let me tell you something.
I medal at the games.
Like, I get podium.
It don't matter if gold, silver, bronze,
whatever.
You ain't going to be able to get
me out of that thing for at least
a month.
I'm showering with it.
I'm wearing it to work.
I'm going coach at the gym with it.
Like, just be hanging off of me.
Like, I look like Flavor Flav,
except I have a big medal instead of
a big clock.
Corey establishing dominance in the
neighborhood.
Got to Joe.
Got to.
I cut my grass with the shortest pair
of shorts I own and no shirt on
all the time.
I ride my bike the same way.
Like you see me running around the
neighborhood and be like, damn,
the heck is that dude?
He left out the part when he was
walking down the street, he was going,
this is my house.
More or less.
More or less.
Mark Phillips,
I'd wear a participation medal.
I won't be picky.
It reminds me,
I was interviewing Anna Tobias,
who won a gold medal at the Olympics.
She's awesome, by the way.
And it's in her nightstand drawer.
Yeah.
It's not even on display.
I'm with you.
I won a gold medal at the Olympics.
I'm down at the Kroger,
like walking through with my cart.
Rich Fronin said the same thing.
The only medal he ever had on display
was the second place one that he put
on the board to remind everybody that they
took second as a team.
Like when, shit,
when Adrian Seen beat them at the games,
he brought the second place medal and hung
it up in the barn to show everybody
like, hey bro, we ain't doing that again.
I took second at a local comp.
When was this?
Twenty twenty one or twenty twenty two.
Something like that.
And that medal was hanging in the gym
because it was second place.
And I didn't I don't I don't like
it.
So I have it there and I look
at it every day.
We got third place at Beach Brawl a
couple of years ago.
Same thing.
It's sitting there like, no,
we're not doing that.
I don't know if you can see all
this, but those are races that I ran.
Yeah.
Like me running.
Right, right.
It was such an accomplishment for me to
run races.
Absolutely.
Right there.
Absolutely.
Gold medal at like the games or the
Olympics.
You ain't getting it off my neck.
No, I'll be honest.
Mark's thinking about talking about the
participation medal.
My daughter got one.
I don't remember what it was for.
I don't feel as for soccer or if
it was for her first season at softball
or whatever.
And she was,
she looked at it and she's trying to
figure out what it was for.
And I was like,
they just gave you that for participating
in the season.
And there's no prompting from me
whatsoever.
She said,
that's no reason to get a medal and
went and put it in a drawer in
her room somewhere.
And I was like,
like my heart grew three sizes that day.
It was fantastic.
She ain't bought no participation trophy.
She wants to win.
Shanna's is in a drawer, too.
All right,
let's talk a little bit about CrossFit.
Yeah.
Did you see the new Road to the
Games?
No, I have not.
I didn't even know there was a new
Road to the Games.
I've been out of the loop, dude,
completely.
Like, the past five days have been wild.
So, Road to the Games,
the Mayhem semifinal.
After I...
blew up the world by saying I had
boys interrupted fatigue on episode two.
Sure.
I was disappointed when it said coming
soon, the mayhem one,
because mayhem has its own media, right?
Yeah.
This one was great, dude.
Okay.
I did see a promo for it somewhere,
whether it was on Instagram or YouTube,
I don't remember.
And I didn't realize,
because it said Mayhem, I just,
as soon as I saw Mayhem,
I figured it was done by Mayhem.
I didn't realize it was done by the
game.
So yeah,
I'll probably watch that this afternoon.
So what I loved about it is,
and I see comments like they followed
everyone.
They kind of did,
but there was one thread and it was
Paige.
Paige Rogers from beginning to end.
And they,
it actually starts with her after the
competition getting Oakley back.
Oh yeah.
And,
and them kind of hanging out and eating
breakfast and doing after the competition.
Paige is one of those people that deserves
a spotlight that we don't have enough on
yet.
Right.
She,
when you talk about the young female
CrossFitters in the space,
you talk Emma Lawson,
everybody talked to Mal,
everybody talked to Emma Carey,
Olivia Kerstetter, all those people.
Paige gets left out so often.
And she, dude,
she is going to crush it at the
games.
I say,
which is a shame because she's allowed to
beat the brakes off a whole lot of
people.
Well,
she beat Emma Lawson at that competition.
Yeah.
So she's so quiet and so humble.
Like we just don't get that much
interaction with her.
And there is a scene where Angelo is
trying to talk to her about the last
event and how to go into it.
And they are scrapping.
And it is so, so awesome.
I remember her,
I don't know who was interviewing her,
if it was Pedro,
if she was on Savant or whatnot,
but they were asking her about like,
her and Angelo's interaction.
And she was like, suggesting that, yeah,
he's a coach, but like, yeah.
And she listens to a degree, basically,
but they definitely butt heads quite a
bit.
So the synopsis kind of is that Angelo's
telling her she's got a big lead and
she's already punched her ticket to the
games.
And she's like, don't say that.
The job's not done.
Don't say that.
And Angelo goes, okay,
you're in a bad position and don't mess
this up.
And she's like,
don't bring that negativity to this.
Don't say that either.
Don't say that.
Just shut up.
It's just like, what do I say?
What do you want me to do?
That's fantastic.
Oh, it is.
That's fantastic.
It's so good.
Don't say that.
Okay.
Well then, yeah,
you're running on empty and you need this
points and whatnot,
but don't say that either.
I need to watch that now.
That's going to be fantastic.
So again,
they bounce around to like Emma Lawson,
Abby Domek, Colton, Jeff Adler.
There's a lot of stuff there.
But really the main thread is Paige.
And I'm glad she got the spotlight.
And I really, really enjoyed this.
And I think what's happening with Road to
the Games is it's kind of like an
inverse of the Reebok Nanos.
know the even ones were awesome and the
odd one sucked yeah and now we're getting
the odd ones are great on the road
to the games and the even ones are
yeah yeah so uh yeah outstanding uh the
squeakiest wheels get the lube i think it
means grease
Yeah, whatever.
I don't think the squeakiest wheels get
the... I don't think...
I think CrossFit HQ has a problem where
they latch on to something.
It worked once.
Let's do it ten more times.
Yeah.
And that's what happened with Boys
Interrupted.
And then to segue into what the Glintons
did with Hiller,
it's exactly what I've been trying to say
is what Hiller said.
We're not saying that we are fatigued with
the boys themselves.
Not at all.
We're fatigued with what HQ is doing with
the boys.
Correct.
And that it's only the boys.
And it's formulaic.
And it's over and over again.
And it's a lot.
When there are so many other things you
could be doing with so many other people.
And so I wanted to bring this up
because Hiller brought it up on glintons
and what a great podcast.
If you've not seen it,
I have not never seen, not never.
I have never,
I don't think I've ever seen Andrew that
relaxed on camera with anybody just
hanging out with Colleen and G like,
He was laughing.
They were making fun of him,
and he was poking right back.
But that was fun to watch.
And so what I liked,
the idea he had is, you know,
I've said that the sparkly band last year
at the games,
there was too many people hitting the same
people all the time.
he brought up the idea of, hey,
we'll give you a sparkly band,
but you're covering these three athletes.
Which is a fantastic idea.
Right?
And then, like, Hiller gets these three,
and Coffee Pods and Wads gets these three.
And what I like about that is it's
not just kind of,
spreading out the the annoyance and then
you're only dealing with one person and
not eight people asking you the same
question for the athlete side it's also
telling the story from ten different
perspectives from everybody's everybody's
weekend
Because Peter may have one perspective
with his storytelling.
I may have a different.
Hiller may have another.
And so you're not getting the same formula
of how these are done.
Yeah.
And random out of a hat.
I like that idea a whole lot.
Like Scott gets Colton Merton's.
uh abby dome it and sierra mea sierra
mea whoever right boom those are your
three if you don't want them tough like
that's it that's that's the three you're
getting you know hillary gets whatever
just pick pick three out of a hat
and now you got the equivalent of the
old road to the game stuff where they
would follow two or three uh people for
an entire you know low training set
section or whatnot but if now it's at
the games
It's almost like a,
like a savant behind the scenes type
thing.
Yeah.
So I'd like to add to that,
that you're assigned those people in June.
Yeah.
Well, you have plenty enough time.
And so like, if I had three people,
I could fly to them,
get some content before the games and then
add the games content to it.
Yup.
And it's a whole produce piece at that
point.
right leading up to and through the games
and wherever they finish they finish and
if you get lucky and colton mertens wins
the games and now you got you got
and and sarah mayhoff finishes fifteenth
whatever just pick a picking thing and
abby finishes fifth on the on the women's
side now you have three different stories
from three different perspectives
Somebody who's winning the entire thing,
somebody who's there participating
basically,
and then somebody who's fighting for a
podium spot.
That would make a phenomenal story.
It would make a hell of a story
to be able to put out there.
And everybody gets it.
You get one.
Hitler gets one, Pedro gets one, uh,
you know, pick, pick somebody,
pick somebody else.
Everybody gets a little bit to be able
to go and do and follow.
I think that's, that would be,
I think that'd make for some fantastic
content.
Um, you know,
what else is a great idea?
Taking some thirds before bed,
get you a nice deep REM sleep.
And, um,
Rapid eye movement, not the band or EM.
That's a whole different thing.
Well,
this one goes out to the one I
love.
But you get your Thirdsy for fifteen
percent off if you go to Thirdsy.com
backslash Jazzy or use Jazzy at checkout
to get fifteen percent off.
It has none of that messy melatonin.
It is full of collagen protein for your
eyes.
Recovery, it's got all of it,
and it's third-party tested,
so you're not going to pop if you
take it before you get to your competition
to earn your participation trophy.
What's corny about that?
Don't worry about Birch.
Who funds the idea?
I have to fund my own media stuff
anyway.
Yeah.
I would fund that as well.
It gives me content that I can go
after and use the money I would use
otherwise and get a more concentrated
content.
Instead of bouncing around and batting
around the entire weekend,
what you did last year with Hattie,
following Hattie and Tristan around,
was very, very focused.
It's one person.
She finishes where she finishes.
This is what we're going to do because
we're focusing on her.
Now you have three, four,
however many they assign you.
It depends on probably how many people are
actually going.
You're still doing the same thing you
would be doing.
Now you're just doing it
You're just doing it with these people
instead of having to go out and make
your own story.
I don't know a better way to put
that.
So yeah, if I only had three athletes,
I would fund myself to Europe.
But you would have to commit to that
if you were signing up for this.
Correct.
Nobody's going to force you to by any
stretch of the imagination.
That's kind of crazy.
Who's doing the doling out?
I don't get it.
Let Scott talk to him every once.
It gets to be too much, Jody.
That's what happened last year at the
games.
You had way too many people with access
all approaching the athletes,
the same athlete,
over and over and over and over again.
It became pure chaos.
This way, it gets rid of that chaos,
and it becomes more of a –
um a doable thing for both the athlete
and the media person it focuses the it
it focuses people it it causes people to
have to focus instead of like in you
said a couple times there were people back
there in the media that weren't actually
doing anything they were just kind of
hanging out like they wanted to be back
there just because they were back there
Now, okay.
Instead of you doing, and it's probably,
they're probably doing that because it's,
you know,
paralysis by analysis type thing.
Like I don't,
I have so many things I want to
do and I don't know how to do
any of them.
Like as opposed to just starting.
Okay.
Well now here's your,
here's your sign athletes.
You follow these people.
they already know they agree to it they
have you know you have access to them
you know i mean within reason obviously
but now you are instead of having those
people back there that are in that are
trying to get like i said fighting for
the same interviews you're just following
these people instead boom one two three
here you go one two three here you
go uh shana says i'm just glad no
one is interested masters i would be
annoyed to be bothered in a warm-up area
shana
You were on my documentary two years ago.
I bugged you in the warmup area,
but it can be done with tact and
it can be done at times that aren't
as you're getting ready to head out on
the floor.
Nobody's trying to interview me in a
warmup area, but this is my,
this is my,
has become my solution to it.
I pop these bad boys in my noise
canceling earbuds and I don't talk to
anybody.
Very, very, very, very little.
Pop them in, put my music on,
get focused on what I'm doing,
and I don't want to talk to anybody
while I'm back there.
I just don't.
Mark says you were good.
You were so good,
she didn't even remember.
Yeah.
I know.
A hundred percent.
Yeah, but you were tactful,
and you were the only one,
plus I like you.
Gosh,
she had us poking holes in her own
argument.
Well, and it's never going to happen.
This is all like pie in the sky
stuff.
It's never going to happen.
Not even once.
But the idea behind it is that you
would actually be able to establish a
relationship with that athlete as you're
getting to the games.
So when you get there,
it's not just some rando coming up with
a microphone.
It's someone that you've been working with
for three months.
having a plan,
having discussions of when it's okay to
ask me questions, when it's not okay.
As opposed to fifteen recorders in their
face trying to get and asking the same
question over and over and over again.
Right.
Yeah.
It's a clever idea,
which is why they'll never do it.
It's like ninety nine percent of the
reason why they'll never do it.
And some people aren't going to,
some of the people in the media space
wouldn't agree to it because they don't
know who they're going to get.
And they don't want to be following
around, you know,
twentieth place at the games all weekend.
Somebody that they know is just going to,
you know,
get dog walked all weekend and be like,
oh, how did that feel?
It sucked.
I came in last.
And even with the relationship,
I met with Tristan and Hattie last year
several times before this.
the the games yeah and on day two
when things weren't going well it was
touch and go whether i was going to
get to talk to hattie at all sure
because things changed things pivoted so
now i talked to tristan more because he
was more doable right yeah tristan's good
dude um
then hattie came out of it on sunday
and then the post interview i did with
her at the hotel was awesome she was
open and honest about everything and kind
of let it all come out but those
it's a very good series if you guys
have not watched it go watch it it's
on this channel uh what if you get
a dud can you get it done
I, you know, to be honest with you,
I,
I would prefer lesser known athletes to
the big names.
Like if I were signing up for this,
I would want the bottom half.
I think there are more stories to tell
that we don't know.
I think that's where the gold is,
but nobody's doing it right now.
So we don't ever get to hear them.
Especially if you get somebody like no
sponsors.
Right.
Doing this on a shoestring budget,
max out their credit cards to get their,
uh, uh, type stuff.
Like that's a whole story in and of
itself.
I, we followed them back to, you know,
their hotel that that's in the ghetto for
all intents and purposes and whatnot.
And like, Hey man, this is,
this is the kind of sacrifices you make
to be able to get here and say,
you are a games athlete.
And like Joseph said,
anybody who makes it to games,
isn't a dud.
again sean woodland many years ago said
you don't know how good you have to
be to suck at the crossfit games you
are still a games level athlete there was
a conversation i had with hattie where she
talked about she was in the race with
i think it was tia
And she didn't pass her because her head
was like, I can't pass Tia.
That's Tia.
Yeah, a hundred percent.
Imposter syndrome.
You don't get in the middle of a
race.
She's having imposter syndrome that she
doesn't deserve to pass Tia.
And you don't get those stories from Tia.
No.
At no point.
Right.
So there's color and there's drama in all
of that that never gets uncovered because
the people that are getting the most
attention are the same people over and
over and over again.
Yeah.
At no point since twenty sixteen has ever
said, oh, I can't go past any.
Right.
Any.
She's never said that.
That's never that's never been a thing.
When when was Tia the most fun to
watch in a behind the scenes or it's
when she almost won and messed it up
again and she had a breakdown.
Yeah.
Like that was that was.
So not fun,
but like so intriguing and sucked you in
that she took silver at the games and
was bawling because she thought she should
have won.
Yeah.
Twice.
Two years in a row.
Carolyn doesn't believe it,
but she said it.
She said it.
I can understand the mindset.
I can.
Carolyn's been super competitive and
successful in a whole lot of stuff she's
done for quite some time.
Carolyn's an animal.
Everybody knows that.
I can understand being in a race if
next year I get to the games and
all of a sudden I'm looking like I'm
fixing a pass grub.
And if I'm aware of that's fixing to
happen,
something in my brain is liable to be
like, whoa, are we like,
is that really a thing that's happening
right now?
And it's not that I'm not going to
do it,
but like that kind of thought can run
through somebody's head.
Like I am not, I don't, there's no,
this can't be right.
Did I do something?
Did I skip a rep?
Did I skip a movement?
What, how, how am I going this?
Like,
there's no way it's imposter syndrome type
stuff.
Like it's a real thing and it sucks.
In the late nineties, early two thousands,
everybody called it the tiger effect in
golf.
Yes.
That if you were in the hunt with
tiger on Sunday, something came over you,
the intimidation, the fear,
whatever it was where you didn't play as
well against him when the champ,
when it was all on the line.
Yeah.
Peter, Ben,
what happens in sports when you look up
to someone,
you're not supposed to be beating them,
requires a mindset shift.
And it's,
you're not supposed to be beating them.
It's like Matt Fraser back in the day
saying, this is not right.
I'm not supposed to win the Open.
I'm not ready to win the Open yet.
But you just did.
So get over it.
Get used to it.
But it's that mindset where it's, man,
I don't know if this is right.
There's no way.
I shouldn't be here.
I didn't do all the things.
There's no way.
It's a hundred percent thing.
It's a hundred percent of thing.
And how do you went on to say
that?
Like she, she,
she wanted her mindset to shift where now,
if she was ever in that situation again,
to tell that voice to shut up and
to just go.
Yeah.
Look at Josie.
I think, Carolyn,
your mindset doesn't allow you to go to
this place.
No, and good for her, dude.
I have a mindset coach right now that
I'm working with to be able to get
myself to that place where it's reframing
what a win is.
It's reframing how you think about
yourself,
especially in moments like that because I
understand what Hattie said.
I get it.
Like, you're like, man,
am I supposed to be going this fast?
Am I supposed to, like,
I'm going to blow up.
I shouldn't be going.
And, like,
your brain's telling you all that.
Your body's telling you you're fine.
You're good.
Keep going.
Not a big deal.
But it's that self-doubt and that
self-belief that you got to work on and
build up.
Some people, and like I said,
God bless Carolyn.
That's amazing for her.
And I also understand what Carolyn's like,
her brain doesn't comprehend that.
Like she doesn't like, no, no,
I'm coming out, you know,
just to destroy everybody that you run
across.
Good, good.
If more, if more athletes had that,
there would be a lot more close races.
Uh,
leader says it's like when you get off
the echo bike ahead of everyone else,
regardless who you're beating,
a lot of people might think they're going
too fast.
Yeah.
You look left and right and you went,
oh no, I've made a horrible mistake.
Wayne says Colton has never had those
thoughts.
I disagree with that.
I've known Colton a long time.
Colton knows what he's really,
really good at and what he needs to
work on.
And when I first met him and when
he first got cut from the games,
I did an interview with him and he
talked about how like he wasn't good at
swimming.
He was struggling in swimming.
He was like,
and he didn't work on that because his
priority was making the games and to make
the games, you didn't have to swim.
Nope.
Don't swim till you get there.
Then he got there and he wasn't prepared
for what met him at the games.
And he didn't have the confidence he had
at semifinals because he'd been working so
hard on getting past that stage.
And so I think it comes down to
preparation too.
Like if you are prepared and you've done
everything in your capabilities,
it helps your mindset, right?
Knowing that you've done everything,
but you have to recognize that you've done
everything.
So me and Katie's been talking about like,
you have to recognize that, hey,
I have put in a shit ton of
work.
and it's been paying off and i know
it's been paying off and i'm fixing to
go showcase it but you have to be
able to to recognize that you can't just
go because a lot of us do it
i'm gonna tell you i'm willing to bet
lito does especially in the in the the
social media era that we're in now where
everybody's just posting highlight reels
all the time you look at people doing
stuff and you're like man
look at what this dude just did look
at what that dude just did I'm supposed
to go compete against this dude whatever
and you you tend to to poo poo
your own your own stuff because all you
see is somebody else's who might be doing
something that looks better than what you
than what you've done and you gotta be
able to flip that and go I know
what I got done and I know what
I'm capable of and let's go out there
and let's prove it uh
I have a couple other things,
but I'm going to hold off on those
until tomorrow.
Sure.
So I'm going to hit you with a
couple quick things.
You know Andre Houdet is now focused on
coaching?
Yes.
The dude is still really fit.
And apparently an engineer.
That I did not know.
Two dumbbells, a log, and some softboxes.
On a softbox?
Yes.
I don't know if I'd put them on
a softbox there, Andre.
And he is confidently planting a foot on
that.
He's flying over that thing.
Isn't that crazy?
That is bananas.
It wouldn't have caught my attention if it
was just like the log at Mayhem.
Yeah.
But this is two dumbbells, two softboxes,
and a log.
I'd like to know how you figured out
that that log would fit in between those
dumbbells like that.
um lito yeah instagram is never a
confidence booster for sure those are
fifty-ish pound boxes at least yeah but
the soft boxes are squishy yeah and they
move a whole lot more than wooden boxes
do i mean good on him look good
lord he is just flying over that thing
like it ain't no big deal
That guy needs to make a comeback.
I don't think he wants to.
No, I think he's enjoying it.
I think he's really happy where he's at.
Yeah, and good on him.
And then the last thing,
how many of us at the gym have
done this?
Whoa,
do y'all see that big bruise on her
shoulder?
I bet she got it from like cleaning
five hundred pounds.
Or maybe she fought off this big hairy
wolf.
Or maybe she rescued all the cute baby
squids and brought them to safety after
being attacked by the sharks.
Yes.
Yes, I have done that.
I have smashed into a J cup at
least five thousand times in my fifteen
year CrossFit career.
I have a serious, like,
unlocked fear of if I'm,
especially if I'm setting up rowers in the
morning and they're going to be in front
of the rig,
I will take the J hooks out of
the rig and put them on the ground
because all I can think of is somebody
rolling.
and like on that backstroke hitting their
head on the j-hook even if it's like
this high up off the ground people are
rolling it freaks me out so if you
ever come to vertus and we have a
rowing workout you can look on the rig
and they will not be a single j
look hanging on the rig i'll put them
all on the ground because it scares the
out of me to have somebody poke their
head on one
Uh,
Wayne says trailer hitch to the shin is
the worst pain known to man.
Well, maybe not the worst, but it's way,
way up there.
Pretty close.
It's pretty close.
Uh, Mark, uh,
says both my wife's quads are bruised,
not from the cleans,
but from the edge of the bed footer.
What you guys do in the privacy of
your own bedroom, Mark is your business.
It does not need to be shared in
the chat.
i caught my uh i caught my pinky
like my pinky toe last night on the
uh on the ottoman on the on the
end of our couch and like i was
going to kiss kiss jennifer good night
because i was going to bed and she
was going to say i watched tv for
a little bit and i turned and i
hit it and you know you i'm not
screaming in my own house and she just
looked at me and started laughing and i
was like thanks i appreciate your sympathy
there wife yeah yeah i um
again cleaning out my garage I took an
old uh TV cabinet to the to the
curb uh to get picked up today and
I pulled it up over my toe yeah
the neighborhood probably heard words they
haven't heard in a while he shot off
my pinky toe uh oh my God same
my shoulder always from strict press from
the rack
I just, it's never lifting for me.
It's just walking around the gym,
not paying attention.
Yeah.
Talking to somebody, not looking.
A hundred percent.
I like to soft box for thirty inch
box jumps after deadlifts.
Yes.
A solid reason for that, Shana.
I'm with you.
I'm with you.
They're squishy, dude.
Like, I don't.
I have to practice with them because
pretty much everywhere I go comp compete
now,
like it's all soft boxes and we have
two of them at a gym now.
So like I have to practice with them
and I hate it every single time.
Yeah.
So the last thing I wanted to just
share with you is we talked about us
or talked about Marshalls and the Dutton
ranch.
Yes.
By the way,
the finale of Marshall's finally made
Casey a bad-ass season to get there.
And we'll see what that is.
But I read a story that on the
set of Dutton ranch, they had to wrangle,
thirty-four hundred rattlesnakes.
That's a lot.
Uh, I would quit acting at that moment.
I'm sorry,
did you say thirty four hundred?
Me and thirty four hundred rattlesnakes
are never going to be in the same
place at the same time.
Me and three rattlesnakes shouldn't be in
the same place at the same time.
Me and one,
and I'm probably contemplating quitting
acting.
I'm not terrified of snakes by any stretch
of the imagination,
but rattlesnakes are poisonous.
First of all, they can be aggressive.
And I'm not going to be finding myself
anywhere.
And certainly not around thirty four
hundred of them.
That seems excessive.
Jay Birch,
I heard thirty four at the new train
station.
It was fifty to eighty at the new
train station.
But the entire set was thirty four
hundred.
Kate.
Talk about the master's leaderboard.
I just want my congratulations.
Please pay us five hundred dollars to play
email.
It's today, isn't it?
And I think Hobart said it was supposed
to be yesterday.
And yes, I'm sorry, Mark and Kenan,
they are venomous.
They're not poisonous.
If you bite a rattlesnake,
you will not be poisoned.
If you eat rattlesnake, they bite you.
They're venomous.
That's a whole different thing.
Back to the boxes.
They need to be heavy enough for grippy.
Those light boxes sometimes are the worst.
Especially if you drag your foot coming
across.
If you're doing burpee box jump overs and
you're one of those people that drag their
foot off of it with a soft box,
it'll do that if it's one of the
light ones.
Yeah, Shana says,
I think yesterday was the deadline.
I've been in that part of the country.
It's pretty snaky.
We watched Anaconda last night,
the new one with Paul Rudd and the
snake handler.
Everything is snaky to him.
It was the dumbest hour and a half
I spent,
but probably laughed the
A good fifteen times.
I mean,
just the combination of Jack Black and
Paul Rudd together seems like it might be
worth a watch.
We were just sitting around and I was
like, I'll just throw it on.
It's on Netflix.
It's free.
We enjoyed it.
It was dumb.
It'll never win an award.
a shame but the cameos the cameos are
freaking awesome outstanding now we did uh
we watched napoleon dynamite for the forty
seventh time last night vote for pedro
that that movie i had a hard time
getting through the the payoff at the end
is fantastic it's like the payoff at the
end of little miss sunshine have you ever
seen that movie no i have not
it's deep well and yeah well that it's
old there's no spoiler alert so the little
girl wants to be a beauty queen like
you know in the back in the days
of name that drank all the mountain dew
oh uh
jesus christ yeah anyway uh the
grandfather trains her on her special
talent that which is dancing the whole
movie they're trying to get to the honey
honey boo-boo yes
They get to the pageant and her dance
comes up.
Don't tell...
The movie's twenty years old, Jody.
It's fine, Jody.
It's not going to ruin it for me.
I'll watch it regardless.
It's not a big deal.
And he has taught her basically how
strippers dance.
So you end up with like a six-year-old,
eight-year-old girl up on stage doing a
stripper dance at this where everybody
takes themselves way too seriously.
A hundred percent.
Yeah.
Oh, good Lord.
Yes, Kenneth.
Jesus Christ drank Mountain Dew.
Oh, yes, Seema.
Sign.
Something to embarrass Leto.
Yes.
A Leto fathead.
Hello.
With that bright orange-red hair she's
got.
Dude, fathead all day long.
Yeah,
I did see that Dan Bailey is going
to do Xenom.
One of my real good friends, actually,
has signed up for Xenom.
A little Masters athlete going out there
and going to knock it down.
I can still remember seeing that scene for
the first time.
I absolutely laughed so hard.
It's great.
It's a great movie.
I would be mortified.
So you're talking about the fatheads.
I know.
So my wife has already warned me that
when I make the games,
there's going to be a Corey fathead in
the crowd.
She wanted to bring one to Magic City,
but by the time she thought about it,
it was too late to order one.
just don't stand in front of me because
bob and joe won't give me actual media
access so i'll be in the stands trying
to do my stuff well worst case scenario
you can just interview my fat head it'd
be fine there you go i guess uh
post hernia surgery jy is doing xenon he's
also competing this weekend at syndicate
crown they're doing two
Special events, that looks cool.
Andrew Hiller's doing one of them.
John Wood's doing both of them.
It's different celebrities from the
CrossFit space, essentially.
The showcases, yes, Kenneth.
We'll pull that up tomorrow and show you
who's going to be doing those.
But it's very interesting.
Paige Rogers is doing one.
Jason Hopper is doing one.
Yeah, it's awesome.
Whoever's idea that was, kudos.
If you remember last year,
they did a Kill Taylor as a showcase.
So yeah, they're really good at that.
And it's a good way to...
get the crowd fired up for the event
and different things like that.
So I can't wait.
I'll be there.
We'll cover it.
We'll show it.
It's going to be awesome.
Yeah.
Trish, you did not get access.
I'm only guessing that Bob and Joe will
not give me access to the games.
We're just going by history at this point.
Yeah.
Now,
I'll get access to the elites and I'll
get access to Syndicate this weekend.
Your – over the past – has it
been two years, three years?
Your access has slowly diminished for the
Masters games.
The Masters games,
it has slowly diminished.
Yeah.
So, like, it's – like,
we had full access,
and then halfway through the weekend,
we had less than full access.
And then last year,
we just got a free ticket to come
inside.
So, like,
it just stands to reason that this point
– this year, they're going to be like,
who?
Scott?
No.
No.
cool you want to come you can just
buy a ticket shana if they deny me
i may take you up on that offer
what you're going to do now joe and
bob i'm a coach coach with a camera
shana go hard yeah win which is wild
since you're the media outlet who actually
cares about us
know kate we know it's ridiculous yeah and
mark said the biggest media proponent uh
syndicate norcal predictions or is that a
different show we have tomorrow yeah yeah
we'll do those tomorrow and then i'm gonna
hit the road tomorrow night uh and then
i'm gonna try to do a show from
syndicate
Hopefully,
Corey can jump on and help me out
with that.
But I'm going to try to get on
live from the event at Syndicate on
Friday.
Love it.
Can we hear the Cowboys say,
now that's what I call high-quality H-T-O?
Now that's what I call high-quality H-T-O.
Oh my gosh.
Mark, you're just too good to us, man.
Mark's like, disposable income?
I know what to do with that.
Appreciate you, brother.
Yeah, I appreciate you so much.
You are the best.
And I am going to put up some
members-only content this weekend from
Syndicate.
