what is going on everybody
welcome to the cloud so
media roundtable where
we're here every tuesday
afternoon it's got amy we
got charlie we got me and
yesterday was tax day
everybody get their taxes
in time oh yeah did you get
a bonus amy uh I first of
all I'm in charge of
handling the taxes at our house
and um I i got a refund this
year so that's that's good
nice yeah yeah I had the
problem of like submitting
and getting rejected
submitting getting rejected
and then finally getting um
accepted yesterday who was
rejecting you uh the irs um
Well,
did you do them through like an H&R
Block kind of thing?
TurboTax.
It was stupid little stuff that like...
TurboTax should have
reminded me or like
prompted me to fill in that box.
Yeah.
Um, and I, and it just,
and then it would go get
rejected for the next box
if didn't prompt me for, and so forth.
Yeah.
Lex is dead on.
There's two types of people,
those who do them as soon
as they get their W2s and
those who wait until tax day.
You know, I don't disagree.
Cause I'm usually a February, like,
like before Valentine's day,
I like to get them taxes filed.
Yeah.
We know you're all about the taxes.
I am all about the taxes.
So.
Yep.
Well, here's my question of the day.
And I'm curious what your
guys' answers would be.
My question of the day was how beautiful,
we've had this beautiful weather lately,
right?
And when it's like this,
I don't feel that I'm
typically very productive in the sense of,
man,
I just want to sit out and soak up as
much time as possible out on my back deck,
right?
And then I thought,
if I lived in a place where
it was like this all the time,
would you be more
productive or less productive?
I feel like I would be very
productive at sitting on the porch,
but would I be more productive overall?
Because eventually I'd have
to balance life out and you
would be a happier person
because more sunlight in your life.
I think we as people take
for granted what we have all the time.
Okay.
So because we just came
through winter and a rainy season,
we were soaking up as much
sun as possible over the weekend.
Yeah.
But if you had sun all the time,
you'd be like, I can,
I can soak up sun tomorrow.
Yeah.
Right.
But I just mean just general productivity.
Like you think, you know,
like sometimes I get real motivated too.
I'm like, Oh, the sun's out.
I want to be outside.
Maybe I'll do some extra
projects and stuff outside too.
But like, if it's a regular basis,
it was like, it's nice every day.
I mean, I lived in Florida for four years,
so I had a lot of sun for four years.
And I did more stuff outside,
but I don't think my
productivity inside or
outside was up or down overall.
Charlie,
do you think you would stick to
more than day one on any of
the programs you do if
there was more sunlight in your life?
No.
Okay.
But you probably...
would be more productive
because when it's cold and disgusting,
it just sucks.
It's just great.
Like it just,
it's like total Eeyore
gloominess all the time.
Yeah.
But that's the time you like,
then you put paint your
house inside to make the
walls brighter to make.
Right.
I don't know.
I don't have enough sunlight.
I just know that.
I know there's a time there,
like every week you were
doing a new inside project.
uh yeah I sometimes I do
that to escape my other
problems like um you know
like thinking about my kids
moving on to college and
stuff like that like I'll
do some house projects
you're doing speaking of
projects and back deck yeah
yeah tell me about this
what's your idea talk about
needing my fitness
And being 10 weeks out of ICU,
probably not the ideal time
to pull this off.
Okay.
But it was getting dangerous.
Um, where,
where our trees were touching the deck,
it was starting to rot because it,
it wasn't getting enough sun to dry out.
Yeah.
So we had to get it off or
someone was going to get
hurt and we were going to get sued.
So I just called for a dumpster and said,
it's supposed to be nice this weekend.
We're going to do it.
And three days of very, very hard work.
Oh yeah.
Um,
tearing it all apart.
Saws were not working great.
It was a combination of
unscrewing it and just
taking big boards and
sawing where you could.
And then, uh,
and lugging it to the front of the house,
throwing it up in the dumpster.
You can fill a dumpster really fast.
I didn't,
I thought we'd have so much space
in there really fast.
And then you had to chuck it
all up over the wall so it
wouldn't fall out.
Yes.
Um,
so throwing odd objects was my workout
of the weekend.
Yeah.
And how is your back and
body feeling in this post?
So thank God I've been back
to the gym for a few days or a few weeks.
My butt, the hamstrings,
and back felt great.
My calves and my grip are shot.
What about like forearm?
Yeah, all the forearms.
If I had to squeeze a trigger the next day,
I could not do it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
because I used to saw like
all weekend that does and
that like totally vibrates
up right up your your arm
and I got really bad tennis
elbow when I was working on
our deck um like replacing
boards it was okay corey
that's a nice dad joke he got there
Oh,
Birch said he did some functional
fitness this weekend with a
little lumberjack work.
What kind of lumberjack work, Jay Birch?
Firewood?
I do like this.
Except for the front squats.
Oh, the workout he posted?
Well,
I know why you don't like those front
squats, right?
With a vest?
Yes.
But see,
I wonder if I could rest it on a vest.
Now that may work out for me.
I mean,
you kind of got your own vest going
on right now.
How dare you?
How dare you?
You guys,
our fight has not gotten any better.
Now we're just amping each
other up and just throwing
daggers at each other all day.
Yeah.
Yeah,
I noticed it was going back in the
other direction now.
yeah we're full on throwing
insult bombs all over the
place all over the place
yep yeah do you guys get
any workouts in this week
oh two terrible ones I mean
they're replay let me tell
you what they were
yesterday 15-minute imam of
10 back squats at 60 to 65%
of your one rep max.
Okay.
Okay.
That would be five times
that you're going to do that.
Max air squats.
The second minute,
just a filler fluff and
then recovery bike.
All right, cool.
It's basically, you're just squatting, um,
for 15 minutes.
Yeah.
I mean,
and the goal was you're supposed to
be done in about 30 seconds.
Well, sure, for the first two rounds,
like when you're fresh, but rounds three,
four, and five,
there's no way you could
sustain that pace at that
number of reps at 65%.
Rough.
Yeah, that'd be bad.
Then today's BS.
Spicy.
For sure.
Had the words devil's press in it.
devil's press combined with ABMAT setups.
And it was whatever number
of devil's press you had to do,
you tripled that number of ABMAT setups.
I that was so challenging to
do the at mat sit ups
because you literally go
from being out of breath
from your devil's press
right to like going and
like you're cutting off
your your air supply
because you're constantly
just so it got like crampy
because you just weren't able to breathe.
So that was today.
So this is going to sound weird,
but I actually right now
prefer devil's press to burpees.
Yeah.
We actually discussed that
in our class today.
Some people actually really liked it.
If I would agree with you,
if it is the right weight.
Yeah.
I'm just,
I'm so slow at burpees right now
that adding the weight just
is almost even set out for
me a little bit yeah
everybody else because the
the double snatch dumbbell
isn't a big deal for me but
man the burpee part I'm so
freaking slow right now
yeah it was aggressive way
I mean it was supposed to
be done with 35s and 50s
I'm sure Corey did it.
If Corey would do that.
And with fifties,
knowing that quarterfinals is coming up,
but I chose to dial it back
a little bit because
quarterfinals are coming this week.
So I was like, I'll go 25.
But I pushed it.
I didn't have to when I'm
broken on all of it.
So, so you brought it up.
Yep.
Quarterfinals this weekend.
Yep.
How many people at your gym qualified?
I want to say about 16 to 20.
Wow.
That's awesome.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And several, good number,
several number qualified
for multiple divisions.
So are you having to do heats or just?
It's kind of hard to,
it's kind of hard to plan it because
we don't know what they are yet.
Right.
We have some kind of general
ideas of when we'll do things,
but it's also,
it's somewhat like the open
to like where it's like, okay,
we have a general idea of when people,
most people were expecting
to be able to do it,
but then you're going to
have the stragglers here
and there that going out of
town and can't do this.
So,
and that with these two submission dates,
so let's see,
they're announced tomorrow
at 3 PM Eastern time.
Correct.
And then we have until Saturday,
3 p.m.
or 3 p.m.
3 p.m.
OK,
I'll look at that part again to get
wrong.
It last year was 3 p.m.
OK, to get in.
It doesn't tell you exactly.
It doesn't say to put into workouts.
It says here's the submission window.
And then there's another
submission window.
Monday.
So if you look at the team leaderboard,
the first two workouts were
revealed Saturday night.
Okay.
So I'm assuming first two
workouts have to be in on
the Saturday submission.
Oh, I see what you're saying.
Yeah.
Okay.
To get revealed this second two.
And then the second two were
revealed Monday night, Tuesday night.
That doesn't make sense.
But they're going to be
revealed this Wednesday.
I'm saying the final scores.
Okay.
Okay.
Everybody's final scores for
workouts one and two
revealed Saturday night.
Oh, got it.
Yes.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yes.
So you're saying to say that
they have to be in by three.
It's probably Saturday.
It is 8 p.m.
because it's 5 p.m.
Pacific time.
So 8 p.m.
Wow.
They did say they're giving you more time.
I think it's too much time,
especially if it's only four workouts.
Well, what I appreciate, I mean,
I always took time off of work to do it.
But technically,
if each workout is less than an hour,
everybody works out an hour a day, right?
Typically,
you could get them all in if
it's only four.
Yeah.
You had Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
Saturday, Sunday, Monday?
Yeah.
But how will people repeat
them all if they only had a day?
Yeah, that's that's the thing there.
The news news flash.
The only one I've ever
repeated was last year.
There was a six minute
workout where it was like
wall facing handstand pushups.
And it was like after you
get through three,
then you do like box jumps.
and did some other stuff and
I redid that one because I
was like it was six minutes
and I only like I was
having trouble getting my
wall facing handstand push
up so I had a little
coaching and then I was
like all right I'm gonna do
it tomorrow and just do
better but so yeah I mean I
knew I was still gonna be
four thousandth place but I
went ahead and redid it uh
just so uh far shannon
chops we do read that read the chats
That's from Twitch.
So we're live on Twitch right now.
Oh.
We don't get much from Twitch,
but there we go.
Yeah.
Trying to grow that.
What's up, Charlie?
I mean, something's coming.
What is Twitch?
Oh, that like... So it's a... You can...
Isn't it videos, like live videos?
Yeah,
and it kind of started in the gaming
industry, gaming world.
Okay.
Where people were sharing
their screens from Minecraft,
and then it got into more games.
Okay.
Yeah.
Is that how Ninja got rich?
I think so.
At least one of them.
I think Ninja,
he was like the star of Twitch.
Who's Ninja?
He's a gamer.
I only know from my daughter.
Listen, there's only one gamer I know.
Tim the Tapman.
Who is that?
I don't know, but my guys watch it.
He literally just streams all day long.
Yeah, I don't know that one.
Ninja was on Masked Singer
and my daughter knew who he
was and we had no clue.
Yeah.
Okay.
He's a ninja.
Yeah, I wouldn't know.
So I think like back to
quarters really quick is the big mistake.
Instead of giving more time
to do the workouts,
they need to give affiliate
owners more time to set up and schedule.
I think they need to release
the workouts a week earlier
and then set up a time
where it starts and finishes.
So run it like the open.
Yeah.
interesting you go there
read it out loud okay so uh
how did you all meet each
other going to guess that
the guy on top left is a
football coach girl on the
right played for it and guy
on the bottom is her
husband was an obsessive
fan who got fired up
watching the team uh yeah I
think you nailed it I mean
yep who's at the bottom you're
you're at the bottom you're
at the bottom man oh uh we
actually all met well amy
and I met through a weird
circumstance of my wife and
her got um we were in a
mom's group together did
get banned from a stadium
for two years um
Amy and I met because my
wife and her were in a group,
a social group.
A mom's group.
Yeah, Bunko.
They played a game called Bunko,
and they would meet monthly to play.
I was on my first weight loss journey.
My wife was on that journey as well.
Amy asked about it.
And then her kids went to
school and were taught by
the owner of my gym's wife.
Amy tried it.
I was there her first day to
welcome her to the gym.
And then that was 2012?
13.
13?
Mm-hmm.
Then eventually this black
dude started walking into
the gym and watching people
work out in a suit and tie.
And we didn't know who he was.
But he just was kind of
there as a stalker.
And then eventually we found
out his wife was working out.
And he had a couple kids with her.
And then he started working out as well.
It took a lot of persuasion
to get him to do that.
He was a really nicely dressed stalker,
though, coming in there.
He was full suit and tie and
just kind of hanging out and watching.
And we could tell he had big
biceps and that suit coat.
I mean, it was clear.
Yeah.
You know?
Listen, nobody said I couldn't.
Yep.
I wasn't banned from that stadium.
No, but I see a new idea for your future.
You know how you could get
an OnlyFans page and just
be Charlie in a suit?
That might be not bad.
You know how some people sell feet pics?
Charlie in a suit pic.
Even better.
Prison workouts in a suit.
In a suit.
You try a new suit every workout?
See if it lasts?
See if it holds up?
Right,
because you might get that pump
going and might rip it up.
Look like...
Lou Frigno.
The Hulk?
From the last two minutes of a show.
You watched 58 minutes of it
just to see Lou at the last two minutes.
We're ripping up the Twitch today.
Amy,
are you one of the people who sell
feet pics?
No,
but there was one time I was
considering it when the
cost of a carton of eggs was about $8.
I was considering it because
that's one of my major protein sources.
yeah cory's one of corey's
favorite stories to this
day is um we would go to
the store and I'd buy like
six dozen eggs and the
cashier goes do you guys
pick a lot of cakes oh yeah
okay thanks okay yeah no
all right I don't even know
where we were on quarterfinals
Well, it's happening.
That's what we were talking about.
Yeah.
And I was saying that I wish
CrossFit would give
affiliate owners more lead
time to prepare and schedule.
I think that's where the missing piece is.
Yeah,
I definitely think that would be helpful.
I mean, they did come out and say, like,
there's less to worry about
as far as floor plans.
Right.
And like that kind of piece.
So that's nice.
But still,
just a little bit more guidance
would be would be helpful,
especially now that you're
you've increased the number
of athletes at affiliates
that are going to be participating in it.
And that's what they want.
Right.
They want the people to pay
the extra 50 bucks to
I mean,
it is a smart decision financially
for them.
But I don't even think it's the setup.
It's the, the heat schedules,
like being able to give
their athletes a time to
sign up for events for the weekend.
Like you have 20 people doing it.
That's not an easy thing to like manage.
Right.
And I know, I'm sure Polaris has.
Oh, for sure, yeah.
Right?
Yeah.
And other gyms are going to be, like,
swamped.
I know Jamie's little gym has, like,
eight people doing it.
Wow.
I'm sure, like, Grandview's got it.
Oh, right.
Yeah, magically.
Probably 80 or 100.
Right.
Whew.
I mean,
some of these gyms with like 200 members,
300 members, 25% of that is a lot,
100 people.
Corey, what do you think we'll see?
Like,
remember that one year we had to do
50 shuttle runs?
Last year.
I feel like it was two years ago.
It was last year because I
had to video it at Jamie's
and it was like just
standing there videoing.
It was painful.
I can't imagine doing it.
Yeah.
And then it was a bunch of rope climbs,
bench press, and then shuttle runs.
Like it was just boring.
Uh, Corey, how do you really feel?
Yeah.
I mean, I could,
I could take some GHDs and some pistols.
So CrossFit says it's going
to be an easy setup.
And so on the Heat One app,
they ask two questions that
are part of their
competition for the
quarters and everything.
And the one is, will we see GHDs?
Mm-hmm.
The other one is, will we see rope climbs?
And?
Well, answer.
The popular answer is no on
both because of the new
setup that's going on with CrossFit.
Mm-hmm.
But I think we'll see one of them.
And my guess is it'll be rope climbs.
And ring muscle-ups.
Well,
I'll be staring at those rings for a
while.
No, no, no.
You told us four weeks ago.
I did.
Four weeks ago that this
would be the time you got
your first ring muscle-up.
Okay.
I have been relentless.
Just so you know,
I have not stopped training.
It's hard, though.
A lot to pull up over those rings.
Yeah, it's probably because I'm so fat.
A lot of body to get over them rings.
Yep, per Charlie's words.
Corey says, no GHDs, no pistols.
Jay Birch says, no ropes or GHDs.
And then Corey says, ring muscle-ups,
box jumps, handstand push-ups,
heavy-ish weights.
I definitely think some form
of handstand push-ups.
I was going to make it one
rep or something.
Probably.
If I had to guess all your names, age,
man on the top left is Doug Schneider.
He is 39 and a driving instructor.
Well, I will take 39 all day,
every day and twice on Sunday.
You do look younger with
your face shaved and your glasses,
I think.
And the haircut.
Yeah.
But I'm betting a lot of
people would not want me as
their driving instructor.
saw his car at any point in
time or you'd think looking
at my car I was a driving
instructor who didn't have
a brake on my side you do
not want to I'm actually
Nikki Shark 2 32 and a foot
massager who you claim is
Amy is actually Nikki Shark
2 32 and a foot massager I
would accept 32 yeah
Yeah, I mean, I've got two kids in college,
so if I look 32, I will accept that.
Lana jumps into the chat
with heavy dumbbells.
Okay.
And Jay Birch comes back with,
I think you'll see a heavy complex.
Cluster?
I wouldn't hate that.
I think it's going to be,
I'm going to have a heavy
complex for sure.
A complex about not getting
a ring muscle up is going
to be what my heavy complex is.
Ice cream salesman.
Tom Wagon Wheel.
The guy at the bottom is Tom Wagon Wheel,
45.
Ice cream salesman.
Like Darius Rucker?
Wagon Wheel?
I'm the oldest guy.
Yeah, you are.
Your age is the closest.
That's what I'm laughing about.
I'd sell ice cream.
And your suit.
Well, that was a good laugh.
That was good.
Thank you, Farson Chops.
I could take a complex,
like a strength complex.
I'd be all right with that.
Yeah, we did clusters last week.
They are a cluster.
I actually like them.
I don't know.
When my legs are feeling great,
they're great.
But man, when my legs are weak,
like towards the end of a workout,
it was not pretty, but yeah.
Yeah, honestly,
I would prefer a cluster
and do them in singles than
I would to rep out a bunch of thrusters.
Second, that emotion.
Yeah.
That whole front rack thing is a problem.
Oh, so here's a game we played.
This could be a fun, quick game for us.
FMK, Mary Kill.
Yeah.
Okay.
Burpees, lunges, thrusters.
Okay.
marry thrusters because it's
still a barbell kind of
already have the floor on
burpees kill the lunges
they're the worst I i hate
those worse than burpees
they wreck me more than
burpees I would marry I
would marry lunges what are
you saying about your wife cory
I would marry lunges because
I think they are so
effective and you can
literally do them anywhere.
What burpees?
No lunges.
Oh, I mean,
burpees are kind of effective too,
but F burpees.
So that's why I said I would F burpees,
marry lunges, kill thrusters thrusters.
We literally, after our class today,
just played that game with movement.
We have the ability to do a call-in.
Only if you have consent, Corey.
Hold on, Corey.
You have to have consent.
Again, what are we saying about your wife,
Corey?
Barbell lunge.
We could do a barbell lunge if possible.
so before we end the show I
want to get this in and
then we can talk about
whatever but I got in a
chat from my friend Amy a
text that said I hate
Sporty Beth I watched this
video what a train wreck
Yeah, I'm just over it.
I'm just,
I feel like everything is
negative and anti-CrossFit
that I just want to be,
then move on and talk about
something different.
Talk about being body
positivity and moving your body,
but honestly take
CrossFit's mouth or name out your mouth.
And that's the hand that fed you.
That's what I mean.
The reason she has a channel
is because she was featured
on a CrossFit documentary.
And now she's turned around
and just blasting it every chance.
And she has no facts to back
up anything she's stating in this video.
And the fact that Andrew
took the night off and gave
it to Alexis to just rail was epic.
I thought it was a great, well-done video,
but the video did piss me off.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
Same.
Yeah.
The content, it was well done, but it,
the content was annoying
that we are constantly like,
this is what I feel like.
I'm like, Oh, is he just honestly,
and he even said it too.
Like, right.
Is Hiller just harping on
the same video again?
no it's another video that's
out and that's where I mean
like I choose not to
consume her content because
of that but then when I see
this kind of stuff it's
just it's just so negative
that it's it's like what's
your goal is your goal to
just take it down it's got
to be a shtick it's got to
be her way to get viewers
because the point is
It's changed so many people's lives.
And it changed hers at some point.
And if she is saying that it
is now affecting her in a negative way,
fine, I get that.
Own that.
Move on.
To make the statement that
CrossFit has a mental
health epidemic is such a huge leap.
For those of us who have
fought mental health issues,
and to make that claim is very...
It's not productive.
Right.
And a lot of times,
CrossFit is what helps
those with mental health
issues get over them or to
release things.
It actually helps more than it hurts.
So for her to make these
claims is dangerous.
In my opinion.
Yeah.
What?
Go, Charlie.
No, I agree, but
I mean,
why would you take her word for anything?
It's not us.
Yeah.
She does have a ton of followers.
Ton.
And probably have never stepped in a box.
Does she give solutions or
she just says this thing?
No.
That's my whole point is
it's very negative.
So on a brighter note,
did you watch the video above that?
I started to, yes.
And it was cracking me up
just because what I love about, well,
is Hiller's trying to
comment on some things and it's clear.
I'm like,
he was talking about like
kindergartners do this and
then older kids.
I'm like,
he has no reference point of what
he's trying to describe there.
It didn't affect what he was
talking about.
It was just,
those are the things that make me giggle.
I'm like,
you're not going to give a
kindergartner a book sleeve
to cover their textbooks kind of thing.
what I loved about it by reading the title,
you would think he's bashing CrossFit.
Right.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
Two minutes in, you realize he's not,
it's about,
it's almost how to be a better
CrossFit coach at the
affiliate level and how to
grow your membership
instead of having people go to the door.
And a lot of it is that like
less is more when you're
coaching an athlete and
even though we went to the
level one and we're
enamored by the muscles
that are being used to push
or pull or whatever,
the athlete in general just
wants to know how to do it right.
Right.
And that when you're coaching them,
just telling them how to
get in the right position
is all they need to know.
Oh yeah.
Take out all the extra words and yeah.
Right.
Yes.
Yes.
But finding ways to educate them,
Also, if right, if they're,
if that's something they're desiring.
Yeah, I did like,
I liked his point when he was saying,
you know, like, like I was,
I was reflecting on this myself.
Like if I have an athlete
that comes in and was like, man,
I'm doing everything, you know,
and I'm not seeing progress.
Hey, are you drinking?
Are you drinking alcohol?
How's your sleep?
Maybe these are things that
also need to be fixed in
order for you to see that improvement.
It's not always exactly
what's happening inside the gym, right?
And I'm out.
What?
I'm out.
And you're out.
I like he always kind of
brings it back to the base of the pyramid,
which is nutrition.
It does get ignored.
And I like the,
how he compared that elite
athletes that just have
this like God given ability
can go out and party on the
weekends and come back and
kind of do things.
But then that sets an
example for the rest of that community.
And they think they can do that,
but you're not even,
your body's not even right
until Tuesday after going
after it on the weekend.
And so you miss a couple of
days of training and,
just recovering and then you
only get like a Wednesday
Thursday Friday and then
the cycle starts over again
yes I know he's totally
doing that intentionally
Corey yeah I do too I just
like it's so much it is so
much so much better video
than what the title even
suggests like it's a really
good one and I needed that
uplift after watching the sporty Beth one
Yeah, because I clicked it to be like,
what's he saying that
they're doing wrong?
I need to know.
You know.
Start changing our titles.
So, yeah.
That's exactly right, Corey.
Right.
Yeah.
I'll never forget.
Someone asked me how I lost all my weight.
And I was like, well, diet and exercise.
And they're like,
you mean there's not a magic pill?
And they were serious.
Yeah.
Like dead serious.
I mean, there is, but...
Was it?
No, it was somewhere else.
I don't think it was Hillary,
but I love it too where it's like,
I don't want to do CrossFit
because I'll get bulky.
And I want to be like, no offense,
but you're not going to get
bulky because it takes a lot of work.
It takes a lot of work.
It's not going to happen overnight.
You're not going to get bulky overnight.
I don't want to look like
one of those girls that are huge.
Yeah.
You mean really strong and fit?
Yeah.
i do I want to look like one
of those girls that are
strong and fit oh yeah
because they're working out
six hours a day yeah and
that was um and who was it
I think it was on dave's
week in review was also
talking about that like
talking about people just
working out one hour a day
and he's like yeah there's
some people who want to
work out two hours a day
because that's because they
have different goals but
most of us don't have time for that
Like,
and I think that that's where the
many of us who want to
excel and do better,
like forget that it's an
hour a day is okay.
Right.
If you're not doing quality stuff,
then it's not worth it anyways.
And you may be better to
have that extra hour of sleep.
Yeah.
The one thing I took from
Dave's Week in Review was,
and it's from like a
programming standpoint, that he said,
I think you should like do
somebody else's programming
and kind of observe before
you try to do programming yourself.
See, that's what I'm doing.
You're observing them all.
One day at a time.
But you have to do them for
a certain amount of time.
That's not true.
He's got one day of Proven,
one day of HWPO, one day of Josh Bridges.
Oh, Josh is coming.
I'm moving on.
LFG.
Power abs.
You're going to sign up for
Josh Bridges now.
You got it.
Just talk me into it.
Yeah.
Yeah, Corey.
Corey, you're getting your comeuppance.
Don't you worry.
LFG.
You're getting Jay Burch all fired up,
and then you'll show up for one day.
Yeah.
Jay,
just understand past behavior
sometimes is the predictor
of future behavior,
and it's possible we'll see day two.
Every night I say my prayers,
and my prayers are that
Charlie will make it to day
two of one program.
But he does like free stuff,
so there's a seven-day trial.
He's going to try for it.
We'll do all seven days for free.
Yeah, think of that,
how much extra you would get.
Think how fit you'd be if
you do something.
Well,
one of us on here is doing quarterfinals.
And?
Yeah, let me know how that goes, Jay.
Charlie,
I'd buy you three months of EMOM
programming.
If I had any faith, you'd do it.
I'm just not following that guy.
It's brutal.
Is that what you do, Corey?
Jay Birch,
Charlie has had about 27
different accountability coaches.
He also can't be consistent
with an accountability coach.
He changes accountability
coaches like I change socks.
I don't like the slander that's happening.
Well,
you should get back to selling ice
cream then.
Yeah.
I'm going back to my day job.
You and your 45-year-old ass.
Selling ice cream.
Who's that guy driving that
white van in that nice suit?
Oh, that's just Charlie selling ice cream.
Come on, people.
Oh, gosh.
Yeah.
Hey, you want some candy?
My accountability coach.
You can't handle yourself.
Well, this was a fun show.
It was.
It was fun.
So this week, Amy,
you're doing some quarterfinals.
Can it take any of them for us to review?
We'll see.
We'll see what they are first.
Okay.
I'm headed to Michigan on Thursday.
Okay.
Okay.
Going to film the Versus
crew that's been on our channel.
And we'll do some live shows from there.
And then we have Rebecca
Fusile rescheduled for next
Tuesday morning at 11 a.m.
our time, 10 a.m.
Central, which is our time.
And then we'll back on the
roundtable right after that.
Yes.
And...
coming up we'll discuss next
tuesday but I the I'm I'll
be performing a wedding
ceremony soon rev radowski
rev radowski I was thinking
about changing that uh rev
level three radowski
because we'll probably get
another update that you got
so we should probably put
that in there one more time
hey did you guys know amy
got a level three yeah thanks
Because you can't say, like,
I can't say that I'm Rev
Dr. Radowski because I'm not, you know,
but I feel like if I just
can elevate myself a little bit,
you know.
So, Corey, if you're recording all yours,
maybe I'll send you a link this weekend.
We can chat about it.
Yeah.
Yeah, so I can judge your movements.
Okay, you can judge them.
Yeah.
Okay.
Once we see the video,
my guess is we won't hear
as much smack talking from Charlie.
Oh, yes, you will.
It'll be increased.
So Corey, here's my question.
Well, I can talk to you about this offline,
but I was just thinking,
so I don't see that there's
any potential chance of me moving on.
So therefore that's why I
wasn't planning on
necessarily recording mine.
I get, for some reason,
if I do an amazing on a
workout and I don't have my video,
that's on me and I'm screwed.
But otherwise that's all you
would need to have a video for, right?
If you really plan to move forward.
So in the open, you weren't trying.
Really?
You had other,
you were focusing on level three.
Yeah.
We can say that now.
Yeah.
Where did you finish overall?
Like 91st percentile.
What's the number?
One moment, please.
1,200.
It was like that.
It was like 1,000.
Because top 200 go on.
It's a lot more than it used to.
Right.
It used to be 30.
Now it's going to be 200.
Okay.
If I see the workouts and I
think that I can actually
lift the weights, then I'll consider.
But if not,
if I can't even deadlift the weight,
or if it's supposed to be a power clean,
I can only deadlift it.
You know.
If they have weight classes,
you might have a better chance.
You know what?
So Jay Birch, so the Versus series,
we had some trouble with
the upload and play.
That has been corrected.
We were doing it through StreamYard,
and StreamYard was jacking it up somehow.
Now I do them directly to YouTube,
so they play flawlessly.
But we might even do some live stream.
where we'll do some
commentary over the live coverage,
stuff like that.
We're going to try some
different things that we've
never tried before on a
smaller scale to see what
we're capable of.
As Angelo has taught us,
maybe you need two cameras.
Oh, my gosh.
So if you guys didn't see
that video last week of
Angelo's meltdown during
team quarterfinals where
someone hit the clock while
their team was 80% done
with their workout and they
had to start over.
Wow.
Angelo went off on a rant,
yelling into the air, not at anybody,
just like frustration over the situation.
Had to get it out.
Adrenaline flowing 80% into the workout.
If that happened to you,
80% into a workout, how would you react?
100% pissed.
Would you be screaming and storm off?
I mean, that's a way to self-regulate.
I would need to.
I mean, I'm flat out.
I would be out the door
outside screaming at the top of my lungs.
Yeah.
I mean, that's just natural.
That's a natural competitive response.
Yeah,
the adrenaline would be way too high
at that point.
It's actually a healthy,
positive way to manage disappointment.
A non-healthy way would be
to get in somebody's face
and scream at them and hit
them and throw things around,
throw equipment around.
But just yelling and stomping,
I think that's a perfectly
healthy way to release that.
The funny part is if you've
not watched the podcast
with Rich or Rich's podcast, whatever,
where they talk about it,
this seems to be something
common with Angelo.
And people were freaking out
and Rich is like,
it's just Angelo being Angelo.
Yeah.
Well, Rich is laughing.
He's going off by himself.
And then Rich goes, and I was like, hey,
Ben,
make sure you follow him with the camera.
Yeah.
This would be good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I saw some reaction to it that like,
man,
I can't believe you reacted that way.
And I, man, when I was playing sports,
my temper was bad.
And when I was young,
I did not control it.
Well,
you didn't have healthy ways of
expressing your thoughts.
Yes.
That's what I work on every day.
Yeah.
At the CrossFit gym and not.
So hyper-competitive that I
did not know how to be healthy about it.
So I think everything he did
was warranted and he did it
in a way that didn't affect anybody else.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
All right.
I think that's the lineup for the week.
Yeah.
So for Nikki and Harry, this is Derek.
We'll see everybody.
I think you're Donald.
Donald.
Donald.
Donald Schneider.
And Tom Wagon Wheel.
Well, from Don, Nikki, and Tom,
we'll see you all next week
on the Clydesdale Media Roundtable.
Bye, guys.
Bye.
