what is going on everybody
welcome to the round table
Clydesdale media round
table that is here every
Thursday at lunchtime and
we have Kat and Charlie
with us Amy is off today
she has an appointment I
was kind of bummed because
she actually did the
crossfit.com workout we
talked about last week and
I wanted to hear how so how
you guys doing good good back
Back.
You guys are quiet today.
I'm freezing.
But, you know, other than that,
we're good in the house
where his mom will not turn
on the heat till November.
And I think we've had freeze
warnings every night here in Columbus.
So I think there was there
was frost on the ground this morning here,
too, for the first time, I think.
It's cold.
Yeah.
You don't have it being more North,
I guess.
Maybe not.
Are you more North?
Who me?
I don't, I don't think so.
I bet you were right along
the same line of latitude.
Yeah.
Pretty close anyway.
I'm South of Pittsburgh.
I know that.
Like if you go that way, so.
Yeah.
When I came to your house,
like it's pretty much seven
D straight across,
straight across Ohio into Pennsylvania,
all the way to Philly.
This is my, my Tik TOK shop purchase.
My little flannel jacket.
You're one of the ones I get.
I'm I'm I'm yeah.
I've been doing a lot of shopping lately.
Amazon and TikTok that I
don't need at all.
What I did find a little hack here.
If you see it on the TikTok shop,
you can find it on Amazon generally.
Yeah.
I've done those comparisons.
Yeah.
Sometimes you can get it for
a better price.
TikTok's pretty good though.
They're really,
they have a good return policy.
I returned something that
was in a mailbox that I
couldn't get access to and
they gave me my money back
and they never got the
actual merchandise back.
So yeah,
I bought a portable second
monitor from a shop for like forty bucks.
It's freaking awesome.
So when I was at the games,
I had like a little monitor
set up next to my laptop.
Oh, that's what that was.
Yep.
Speaking of monitors,
so I bought a new monitor
because I have two monitors
right now for work and I
was I wanted to get a third
and I bought it.
And I got it.
And I remodeled my office.
And so when I put my office
back together again,
I decided I didn't need it.
So it's still in the box and
never opened it.
And I go into Amazon to return it.
And there's no record of me buying it.
And I can't confirm a
thousand percent that I got
it from Amazon,
but I can't for the life of
me figure out where else I
would have bought it from.
Red flag number one,
that you're a shopaholic.
Because if you cannot
remember the place you ordered the item.
Right?
I don't.
I mean,
where else would I have ordered a
monitor from?
Nowhere.
The only places I've been
shopping at lately are like Amazon,
TikTok, and Wayfair.
And Wayfair has been for
like rugs and chairs for this office,
like furniture.
So I can't figure out what happened.
Oh,
Jody Lynn wants to know about my jeans.
Oh, the jeans from like two years ago.
Yeah.
I never heard back from anybody on it.
Never got my money back.
They went out of business.
No, it was relentless jeans.
Yep.
They went out of business.
They used to be some other
company that I forget, but yeah, no,
never got those,
but I'm making up for it now.
Cause I got a free pair of
jeans from Judy blue and
I'm like obsessed with Judy blue jeans.
And I can wear like a size three,
which is just so amazing
for my ego because I'm
normally like a size eight.
And they run so big.
They run big.
Yeah.
I thought Judy Blume wrote like kids for,
or books for kids.
Judy Blume.
Judy Blume.
Not Judy Blume.
She's like, God, it's me, Margaret,
or something like that.
Yeah, God, it's me, Margaret.
They're coming out with a movie, I think,
of the Are You There, God, It's Me,
Margaret.
Thank you, Aaron.
You just missed.
I just put,
I had like a little halo
extension thing put in and
it looked ridiculous.
So I took it out.
I want to work on it for next time.
Cause I got my haircut.
I got my haircut like a
month ago and I usually get it colored,
but it's getting so light
and I don't like it.
This blonde,
like I'm not meant to have blonde hair.
I'm meant to have brown hair,
but I asked her to like put
some layers in it and she
like butchered my hair.
Like I normally,
the volume is way down here
and it's not anymore.
Like I feel like it's stringy and gross.
So I'm not very happy with
my hair right now.
I'll do this talking to Charlie.
Okay.
Sorry.
All this hair talk, hair, hair and shoes.
I will tell you what happened to him.
Right?
You've got layers.
As a female,
I feel like we have like body
issues and your weight
fluctuates after you have
babies and it changes and
bodies and everything else.
And shoes and your hair sort
of like are constant, right?
Like you can gain five
pounds and your hair can still look okay.
You can gain ten pounds and
your shoes still fit.
And so I feel like a lot of
women invest in hair and
shoes because of that.
That's my girl talk for the day.
Well, yeah.
When I got pregnant,
I think my feet grew like a
half an inch or something like that.
But generally speaking,
your shoe size doesn't
really change once you become an adult.
And unless you've got
hormonal issues or male pattern baldness,
your hair doesn't really change either.
Now you just have to worry
about bunions making your shoes...
That'll never happen.
I wear, I wear Vans,
like I've been wearing Vans
exclusively the last like
few months and there I buy
like a guy's size eight,
which is like a nine and a
half in women's and I'm
like an eight and a half in women's.
So the shoes are huge and I
have like all this room in them.
And coming from a ballerina
who used to wear like
basically my feet were
bound in pointe shoes for so, so long.
I never thought that like
I'd have cute feet, but I do.
Oh, you get to join Amy on the site.
Making some money.
So Corey wants to know, did your feet,
did you say your feet grew
a half an inch because you were pregnant?
Half a size.
Um, when I, so fun fact,
when I was pregnant with my first child,
I gained sixty five pounds and I was,
I weighed like two Oh five
the day that I delivered.
So I gained a ton of weight with Brayden.
For context, if you don't remember,
Kat is short.
I'm like five, one and three quarters.
Yeah.
So sixty five is a lot.
I mean, eight pounds on me is like a size,
basically.
So, yeah,
my feet definitely changed and grew.
Corey, don't try it.
You can't get pregnant.
Let your feet grow.
Yes.
It's not worth it.
and I don't know if they got
longer they probably just
got wider and so you know
the wider they are the
longer you need your shoes
to be because we don't
really do widths in this
country you can't get a
wide like even in very few
styles though you know like
certain brands and it's
usually like I used to sell
men's dress shoes back in
the day like when I was in
high school and you guys
can get all kinds of
different widths but not for the ladies
Julie likes a wide shoe as well.
I think Nike even makes a
wide version of their shoes.
Oh, that's good to know.
If we go to DSW,
they'll have some wide in there.
Yeah,
I'm like an eight and a half in a
regular shoe, but if I can get a wide,
I can get away with a seven
or a seven and a half.
I want to say this without
Charlie's making a joke.
I could have a larger shoe
in a narrower width,
but if I get a wider width,
I can handle a shorter shoe.
Something like that.
T-Bird says my favorite size
is bigger while I was
pregnant and since then are
a full size bigger still.
Yeah, that's a real thing.
Pregnancy messes you up.
Oh my God.
Yep.
If you've been watching the
starting five documentary,
you don't want LeBron's feet either.
Cause those things are awful.
I have not seen that.
What, what, what is,
I've seen it in Netflix.
What is the premise?
They follow five players
throughout last year's season.
And LeBron is one of them.
LeBron is one of them.
Hmm.
And two of his toes sit over
top of his big toe,
which he says they're kind
of like those two are
jumping off a diving board.
It's awful.
Corey says most ladies do
agree that girth is king.
T-Bird says I had to give
away my whole shoe
collection after pregnancy
because nothing fit anymore.
Oh, no, that's awful.
you just get to amass a new
one that's that's fun too
but yeah anyway my point
was shoes and hair that's
like a thing I think if you
talk to most ladies that's
the thing I'm excited
charlie's on today because
I've been wanting to talk
to him about the mr mcmahon
documentary that is one
documentary that I watched
start to end and was riveted
Initially,
because it was a walk down
memory lane to what I loved
about wrestling,
both in the eighties and in
the attitude era,
and then kind of why I left
wrestling when it got a
little bit too much.
And then it went into the,
the sexual harassment and
trafficking and the stuff at the end,
which was very interesting.
Um,
but not a nice walk down memory lane
anymore.
Definitely got very dark.
So I wanted to get your overall,
one interesting thing I wanted to just,
that blew me away is the
WWE was kind of ahead of CTE.
yes they were the first like
pro sport to recognize that
it was a thing other than
stone cold um and removed
elements from wrestling to
avoid head injuries yes
like chair shots to the
head yeah metal chairs yes
now you just get them to
the back only yeah I
thought that was interesting but
I didn't realize the
documentary was about the
creation of the character, Mr. McMahon.
Yes.
I think that was the best
way they could ease into.
He's kind of this guy,
but he says he's not that guy,
but everybody else is like, yeah,
that's him.
Well, and at the end,
in the last interview,
and he did not agree to
interview once the lawsuits came out,
but he does say that he was
even confused as to was he
being the character or was
he being himself?
Like, he got lost in between the two.
Yes.
And to propose storylines
where you get your own real
daughter pregnant...
and then you see the stuff
that comes out about the
trafficking and all of that
stuff it it just was crazy
and then the people that
were adamantly defending
him and then a day later
another lawsuit would come
out right right like it was
it was crazy but definitely
worth a watch if you are into
any of like that true crime ish stuff and,
or you love wrestling.
I wanted to ask you since
he's been gone from wrestling,
do you think it's gotten better or worse?
Better for sure.
Better.
You think stories are better?
Storylines are better.
It makes more sense.
They're not pushing guys who
aren't good just because
they look like they should be good.
but definitely better.
And speaking of hair,
I don't know what his hair was doing.
Like the last time you saw
him where he looked like a Spanish,
the pencil mustache and mustache.
That's our chair.
And you're seven years old.
Your hair's not jet black with me.
You got to ease into that.
Yeah, but no, it's definitely better.
And triple H is running the creative now.
yes he's running everything
basically him and stephanie
stephanie not anymore no
she still hasn't come back
yet oh okay she's there and
jane got screwed over a
long time ago yes okay are
we are we talking about
wrestling yeah yep
Like the stuff you see on TV?
Like Jimmy Superfly, Snooka,
and Andre the Giant and all that?
Okay.
Just trying to keep up.
They were all in this documentary.
His story was in there,
which was also a weird cover-up.
Those were my two favorites growing up.
I didn't know that he...
Someone died mysteriously
in Superfly Snooka's hotel
room and the WWE covered it up.
That was in this documentary.
Like,
you want to hear weird shit that
happened?
Like, it's a pretty good watch.
Yeah,
she accidentally fell off a balcony
five stories up.
So did, well, not mysteriously,
but the One Direction
singer just in the last three hours.
That seems weird also.
Out of a third story.
Crazy.
As a father of a girl who
grew up in that One Direction era,
that was weird to read
today because they were
everything in my house for a moment.
I bet.
They all left eventually.
Can't keep a good thing together.
Just sip us.
She was a Zayn fan and Zayn
was the first to leave.
Oh, yeah.
But it didn't work out well for him.
No.
He got that one duet with
Taylor Swift that boomed
him up and then not really much else.
So we do have some CrossFit news.
We'll get off wrestling for Kat.
Roman announced this week
that he has to undergo hip surgery.
Charlie, you know anything about that?
kind of hip surgery labrum
tear he does not say he did
he say he did yeah he had a
he had a labral tear and
something else I can't
remember what but yeah same
same thing you had same
thing I had out eight to
ten months I think I read that right
As long as he's not getting replaced.
Another year where he
probably is not going to be
able to compete.
No, there's no way.
If he did,
it would be a terrible decision
because there's no way you win.
You're just not recovering long enough.
How long has it been for you, Charlie?
Have you gone eight months yet?
No.
No.
It was just January, right?
I think he froze.
I don't know if he was thinking or not.
So I know for me it was a
full eighteen months before
I was hitting the same kind of PRs,
squat PRs that I was
hitting prior to surgery.
I missed all of that.
That's okay.
I was asking you,
had it been a year and a half yet?
Yes, it has been a year and a half.
Really?
I thought it was just January.
February of the previous year.
Okay.
Yeah.
So you're coming up on two years.
Yeah.
I mean, I feel good.
My cardio sucks, but that's not from that.
Yeah.
But Hey, I got a,
I got a program that comes to me.
Oh, it's a new one.
One and a half years and
thirty-four different free trials later.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
But I'm ready now.
I'm ready to start attacking something.
Maybe you should try Fold Vaulting.
Kung Fu Charlie movie.
Fold Vaulting.
Where the words don't match.
Yeah, right.
Um, so yeah, so that'll be,
that'll be rough not having him back.
It's another year where we
have to kind of see what's
going on there.
Uh,
we had crash crucible this last weekend.
Um,
kind of starting to be touted as that
preview of who's coming up and in the,
in the sport.
Um,
but it was one by Colton Mertens who
we've known about for a few
years and Brittany Weiss,
who is moving from team
athlete to individual athlete.
They both won.
Some other notables.
Taylor Self took second.
Chris Ibarra took third.
On the men's side and on the women's side,
Fee Sagafi took second.
I don't recall who took third.
I know Lydia Fish was fourth.
Was it Carolyn Stanley?
No.
None of the big... It was more...
um but it was a really good
event they did stream it
the stream I thought was
far superior to last year
where they did a good job
but I wanted to pose one
question to you guys john
young was the color analyst
on uh the stream and I'm
gonna play a clip from the stream
on the way he does it.
And I want to have a
discussion about that.
Is he going to be like the
great announcer or is this
too much for the CrossFit scene?
So I'm going to share my screen.
And this is from the Savon
YouTube channel.
So if you want to see any of
the crash events,
you can go to the Savon
YouTube channel and check them out there.
But here we go.
Wow.
Ten for Prevo.
Nine-eleven.
Dude.
Next level.
Dude.
Oh, Jamie looks great with the dumbbell.
I think Jamie's going to get her.
Jamie's going to get her.
Jamie's in the foreground
with the fish in the green.
She's only got four left.
Three left.
She might not.
Yeah, she will.
So a little different than
we're used to with Sean and Chase.
What do you think of that
style of commentating?
That's the,
it seems like the old Pat
McAfee effect happening
here where you just, you get your,
you just say whatever you want and you,
you pick your favorite
almost and you get over the
top fired up about it.
Let it fly.
that was my thought.
Exactly.
It is bringing the Pat McAfee Manning cast,
um, all of these alternative style of, uh,
broadcasting into it.
I found it enjoyable.
I'm watching all the events and he didn't,
it wasn't like he picked
one person to cheer for it.
He was cheering for the close finishes.
He was cheering for the
battles at the end.
Um,
and and I think because of
the way he did it it was
really good I said on
sunday night show that the
first day bill and him were
stepping on each other's
toes a bit because bill's
used to the like the
conventional you know he's
the play-by-play he's the
color commentator let's do
this thing by the by the
second day they were
humming uh and I thought it
I thought it came out great
Plus,
there are going to be people who love
it and people who hate it.
And when you divide people like that,
it actually creates more discussion.
And I think it's really good
for the sport.
And they need to consider
either an alternate
broadcast or going in some
direction like this.
Thoughts?
I mean, it's a...
it's an exciting moment in time.
You don't want somebody to just be like,
and it's their egos.
Yeah.
I mean,
you can tell in other sports when
certain people are commentating, you know,
that they're fans of a team
or something like that.
So I think it's fine.
And as long as, like you said,
that it's sort of balanced
and it's not just always, you know,
he's rooting for the one person.
Cause I think that's annoying.
Um, but you're right.
He was,
he was excited about the close races,
which makes it for the viewer.
I think it just adds a
little bit of spunk to it and it,
and it makes the people
that are watching like a
little more engaged.
So yeah, definitely unconventional,
not what we're used to.
Um, but, but I liked it.
Yeah, because if you hear in that clip,
he actually starts with,
I think her name was Janie.
Janie's picking up,
she only has four to go.
And his voice starts going up with that.
Yeah.
And it was, Lydia, you got to pick up.
Go, Lydia.
Right.
And so he was rooting for
the two of them to finish close,
which I thought was awesome.
It's almost that person.
at the gym who's when you
got those last three giving
you that pick it up pick it
up whether they hear you or
not I mean we all do it at
home in front of our tvs
but he's just being us
there I think it was
everything I love about the
open like back when I was
at shred and we would do
the open and it was a
competition between the
four teams and everybody's
cheering for each other
it brought that sense of
excitement to this for me.
Yep.
So I hope that some,
I know that they do a spin cast sometimes,
but they don't have the
authority to show the event
going on when John is doing
the spin cast.
And so to me that it,
it lacks something in that because you,
you're not being,
you're not able to see the
actual broadcast.
I want, if you're going to do it,
it has to be done with the
ability to see it as well.
True.
Like they did here.
And so I hope that they,
someone finds a way to get
him in to do that.
Cause I think it's, it's really good.
It's really good.
it's funny because we
actually complained on
Sunday night that they
didn't show any of the masters.
And he actually texted me
this week and said it was
in the plans to do some, um,
but it got scrapped last minute.
And I know that, that, you know,
they are a small team
putting this on and streaming it.
And, uh, well,
I think Will Branstetter set it all up,
the engineering part of it.
And for him to be there all
day would have been pretty tough.
Yeah, it was a major effort for them.
They put in a lot of
calories doing what they did.
Aaron Frazier said,
the only thing I didn't
like was John yelling at
Colton the time to beat.
Yeah, that's probably a bit over the top.
You probably can't do that.
Yeah.
Again, like Kat said,
as long as it's Marshall,
Um, and you're cheering for the races.
I think it's good.
Um, so yeah,
but that's really all I had this week.
I know it's a short one this week.
Uh,
Kat and I have one o'clock meetings and,
uh, Charlie has to go get by the fire.
How are your fingers doing?
What's that thing you have?
The Raynaud's.
Oh, with the cold.
Well, right now, they're not bad.
It's that cold where it
doesn't affect them.
A little warmer, I'd be a mess.
It's so weird.
It's the weirdest thing ever.
A little warmer, you'd be a mess.
I didn't realize that.
Yes.
I don't really know how it works.
Is that an autoimmune disease?
It always happens when it's
rig work ready to happen.
I'm like, great.
I do pull-ups with no
feeling in my fingers.
Your fingers go numb.
I think that's what happens.
They lose blood flow.
Yep.
than toes too.
Oh, not the toes.
Oh yeah.
That's a good time.
All right.
Well, if you guys have anything to add,
dad,
any funny stories last two minutes to
throw in a news stories.
I got hit by a bus yesterday.
I went to a,
I went to a jewelry store the
other day to sell some gold.
The owner was like,
eight hundred and seventy five years old,
and had like drool coming
out of the side of his
mouth and he was like,
poo pooing all the stuff I
gave him he's like, Oh, this,
this prong is broken and
these stones are cracked
and he was like totally low
balling me and he like,
was yelling at his staff
and being a jerk.
So,
I like gave him a couple
pieces to look at.
He wrote me a check and he
told me to not cash it until Friday.
It's just like a legit business owner.
I swear he needs to be in
like a skilled nursing
facility because he was
like off his rocker.
So anyway.
Don't cash it.
That was that.
It was fun.
But yeah, gold prices are good right now.
So first, Corey says cat the prospector.
Second,
what is the over under on the check
clearing?
Well, yeah, we'll see.
I actually called them last night and said,
you know what?
I think I'm just going to
come back and get my
jewelry and give you the
check back because I don't
feel good about this.
You have my stuff.
I don't have my money.
They didn't return my call, obviously.
Yeah, of course not.
Well, the odds are a little bit more.
I know.
We'll have to see.
But I am headed up to the
Catskills tonight, this weekend.
I'm going to do some fall foliage viewing.
So that'll be fun.
That's the home of Mike Tyson.
Yeah.
Going to Sleepy Hollow on
the way and then heading up
to Upstate New York.
Hopefully I didn't miss the peak season.
Is that dude that probably
owns a jean company?
Good Lord.
The jewelry store has been
open since since nineteen
seventeen and I swear to
God that guy opened it up
in nineteen seventeen.
Like he's
fricking fossil.
I call him the cryptkeeper
and everybody that works
there was like a hundred years old too.
It was great.
I'm going to leave with this.
I, and this is for Charlie.
I watched a meme yesterday
where Mike Tyson is
watching a video of a
kangaroo attacking a dog.
Okay.
And the owner of the dog is,
goes and punches the kangaroo in the face.
And he drops the dog.
And the owner is getting in
a boxing stance.
And I think he punches the
kangaroo one more time.
And the kangaroo just then
goes like this and starts puffing up.
And you see Tyson from behind going, Yeah!
Kangaroo!
Yeah!
Sorry.
That kangaroo does not want
to be messed with.
And he's all like, and it's his reaction.
It's worth the price of gold on that one,
man.
I'll have to see him watching that.
I've seen that.
Oh, it's funny.
Let me, let me address Judy's question.
So we thought about bringing Leah,
but one of the two of the
tours that we're doing don't allow dogs.
And so I wanted to make sure
that we didn't just like
leave her in the car or
anything like that.
So we have someone watching
her and then my other dog, Jojo,
is with my ex and he's at
his girlfriend's house for
the weekend and he's now
brings the dog with him.
So Jojo gets to go on some
little weekend vacations as well.
So dogs are good.
Yeah.
And Corey, if you want to see it,
I saw it on YouTube reels.
So it was somewhere there.
I should have,
I should have sent it to you
and Charlie when I saw it.
You're the two people I
thought of the minute I
watched that video.
yeah so I'm gonna find that
when we're done here all
right well with that guys I
gotta get to my meeting we
will see everybody next
time on the clydesdale
media roundtable peace
