What's going on, everybody?
Welcome to the Clydesdale
Media Roundtable.
It's been a week.
What's going on, everyone?
Hey.
We got the full team in.
Mine is Charlie.
Charlie's supposed to be in
the chat with you all.
I'm assuming lots of kids at home.
No, they're at school.
They go back to school, right?
Yeah.
Really?
They're back to school already?
Yeah.
Wow.
I'm not, but they are.
I still have two weeks.
That's awesome.
Yeah.
I mean, I, to be honest,
I was actually already
doing some stuff right
before we logged in here.
Like I'm,
I don't have to be physically there yet,
but I've,
I've got a lot of work to do to
get ready.
When does Natalie go back?
We take her on Saturday.
Okay.
okay so you're gearing up
yeah here's what's funny
about this is even my kids
said to me did you get um
why'd you get all dressed
up for your podcast today I
didn't get dressed up you
mean put makeup on and do
my hair I know it's so rare
it only happens once every
few weeks so that's so good
how long have we been doing this podcast
Four years.
It's almost five.
Yeah.
Almost five, right?
Yeah.
Do you realize that like the
majority of our listeners are listeners?
Oh, sorry.
So you should read the comment.
The comment said,
Amy got Kat's hairdresser's
number or something.
I did my hair.
I washed my hair.
It's clean.
It smells good.
I blow dried it and then I curled it.
It looks awesome.
I am.
I got my hair did yesterday.
Yeah.
So I just woke up this morning,
slept on it,
worked out and then fluffed it.
Cause I can do that.
See, I can't do that.
Oh, I put extra goo in mine.
There you go.
Speaking of working out cat
worked out this morning.
What'd you do?
I did.
Um, I did the, uh,
A 15 minute AMRAP with a 25
double under five dumbbell push press,
five dumbbell step over
buy-in with a max calorie echo bike.
So five rounds in three minutes,
like a three minute in
three minute intervals.
So I got like, I didn't get many calories.
I was kind of dogging it.
I was quitting after like
two minutes and 45 seconds to get a rest.
Um,
think I got like 65 calories
I think the the highest
member at my gym got like
75 calories maybe for the
five rounds um you ended up
being on the bike for like
a minute and a half minute
45 seconds two minutes if
you were really fast but I
used 20 pound dumbbells in
a 20 inch box um but fun
fact yesterday I did a
workout with power cleans
and um I did 85 pounds and
it was like for reps it was
a it was a lot of
work.
I was doing them as singles.
And I was saying to somebody like, um,
I remember when I could do grace, my,
my best grace time is like
two 47 or two 27 or something like that.
Grace.
Yeah, 95 pounds, clean and jerks,
like 30 in a row.
And this was like sets of
eight clean and jerks.
And I was doing them at 85
pounds and it was like one at a time.
Yeah.
With breaks in between.
I think I cycled like three,
one of the rounds,
I think it was doing like rounds of nine.
It was so hard.
I'm really out of shape.
Yeah.
It's engine goes so fast.
All of it.
I'm losing a lot of strength, too,
just from not lifting.
But I did back squats yesterday,
so tomorrow I will be dying,
hurting in a lot of ways.
That's what I expect.
Day two.
How about you?
Scott,
you don't work out today because of
this podcast right here.
Correct.
Did you work out yesterday?
My workouts look really
shitty right now just
because of the no antihistamine issue.
It was a pretty nice day yesterday.
Yeah.
Did you walk yesterday?
You should walk.
I probably did walk, Walter, a little bit.
Okay.
But I did get on the bike
and just kind of hang out
in my garage yesterday.
Yeah.
Charlie and I did a terrible
workout today.
Terrible.
It was three rounds every 10 minutes.
You do 12 calories on the bike,
12 burpee box getovers,
12 calories on the bike,
nine burpee box getovers,
12 calories on the bike,
six burpee box getovers.
Yeah, three rounds of that.
It was a sprint because the
goal is to be done around
five minutes and then rest.
What do you guys do for the getovers?
Well, I coached it one way.
And then when I did the workout,
I did it a totally different way.
I typically like to,
do it like, um,
like where I'm almost like
diagonal towards the box.
And then I placed my hands
on the box and then jump my feet on top.
And then I kind of twist and turn around.
Um, so are you piling, like,
is it 40 inches or you're probably, no,
no, no, no, no.
It was 24 and 30 inches today.
Oh, okay.
Got it.
So we didn't need to do that with other,
there was no banding of,
there's no Chad set up at the gym.
Nope.
But I did do, when I did the workout,
I did do my burpee and then
put my butt on the box and
spin it around.
Perfect.
It was, it was, it counted.
We have, there's a lot of, uh,
rowing program or burpee
over rower programmed with Ibex and, uh,
the people at my gym cannot,
are not hurtling over a rower.
So we always end up just
doing regular burpees, but yeah.
Burpee get overs.
I think they, they dig.
I like them.
Interrupted.
Yeah.
Corey, six rounds,
two minutes rest between,
32 heavy rope dubs, 16 GHD sit-ups,
10 thrusters at 115,
eight-bar muscle-ups.
10 thrusters at 115.
On a different note, Scott,
my wife is traveling over
to Alabama with her mother, Karen Dawkins,
who will compete in the
65-plus next weekend.
One, super excited to meet them.
That's going to be awesome.
Two,
why hasn't she contacted me to have a
profile done on this channel?
Let's do it.
She should.
I interviewed Kelly Frio
last week from the UK,
and I'm interviewing a guy
tomorrow from the UK.
So, yeah.
Hmm.
I've not interviewed anybody
from the Isle of Man.
Chelsea says,
been a while since I've made a live.
Amy, how goes the muscle-ups?
We're still chugging along.
Actually, I got my first entry from them.
Let's see if you can see this.
See this bruise?
I'm going to lose this.
Oh, yeah.
What happened?
Well, we've been working on...
No,
we've been working on some strength and
it was, you know,
like face down on a bench
and like doing dumbbell rows.
And so like I went to put
the dumbbells down and I
just slammed it right on
top of my finger.
And that was that.
But my I've been doing
assisted strict muscle ups
and they're looking good.
My coach even said.
I've been taking the online
gymnastics course for the
last year and a half because I just,
I go to it and then I
forget about it and then I revisit it.
And now that I'm due for
renewal on September 7th,
I have to get my act
together and finish it.
And there's like 10 more modules to do.
But every time they talk
about like arches and hollows,
it makes me want to go back
to like the basics.
Cause I feel like,
like I'm not even doing toes to bar.
Right.
in the gymnastics sense.
So interesting.
Apparently Jake's
mother-in-law sounds like a pirate.
Sounds fun.
It does sound fun.
He answers Jay Birch by saying,
you just wait to hear a voice.
It's like an extra from a
Johnny Depp film.
Okay then.
All right.
Definitely got to get her in
the behind the scenes then.
Right.
Did Mark reach out to you?
Mark Peters?
He did.
Okay, cool.
We're finalizing a time now.
Good.
Yeah,
I have like maybe five for this week
set up already and a couple
kind of lingering.
But like we leave next week,
like next Tuesday.
Okay.
Are you going to ask you,
what is your mode of transportation?
Who are you going with?
What are the details?
Uh, I'm going with my wife.
Okay.
We are driving, um, so that we have a car.
It can take the equipment, all of that.
Um,
and it's like an eight hour trip to
Birmingham.
So that's about what we did to Madison.
Yeah.
Right.
Amy.
Yeah.
Uh, I'd say a little less to Madison,
but not, not by much.
yeah um and then the team is
caitlyn walters is a
videographer jonathan
ortega videographer and
ellie hiller interviewer
and then myself and ellie's
an athlete right she is
cool but they're gonna have two floors um
They're going to have two floors, major,
big size in this convention
center running at the same time.
I don't know what that means
for the stream.
I know that it's going to
mean for us splitting up
into the two sections
somehow to cover both.
which is going to be wild
with four people.
It's three floor.
The one floor is smaller
though than the other two.
I'm hoping that there's only
like one or two events there.
The floater wide.
Will your wife remind you to
pack your cords and take your medicine?
Or do I also need to give
you those reminders?
Yes.
She'll remind me, for sure.
And then also,
I think she'll be a lot less
annoying for you to travel
with in the car than me.
But... TVD.
That's great.
That's funny.
Um...
andrew said three floors two
for individual one for
teams so the teams are not
they're a part of this but
they're not like sanctioned
as crossfit games winners
um so that's going on as
well during this is what so
um jake's wife don't
interview my wife though
she's a retired olympian very boring
Sounds like she has no
stories at all to share.
No.
Here's what Andrew said.
I found it.
Two floors streamed,
two floors for individuals,
one floor for teams.
Please not an Aussie breakdancer.
I don't know.
I found it entertaining, Chelsea.
They did take breakdancing
out of the next Olympics, though.
Do you know what that Aussie
breakdancer did?
It made every one of us
believe we could be an Olympian.
You're right.
It gave a lot of us hopes.
So much hope.
Yeah.
I mean, she's like 36.
I mean, so basically, I mean,
you could start right now and train.
My favorite was the dead fish.
I think I could pull off that move.
I love all the memes that
have come out with it since.
Uh,
Corey's moving to Australia just to
become an Olympic break dancer.
Well, they're taking it out of,
they're taking it out of
the Olympics next time.
So that's not a solid plan.
Football's getting added.
Um, okay.
I like Carolyn's question here.
What sport do you want to
see added down the road in Olympics?
Well,
I can't believe that pickleball isn't
there yet, but I bet it will be.
I mean,
if you have badminton and ping pong.
pickleball will be there
have you seen them play
badminton and ping pong
they move more than
pickleball players
fascinating I mean and then
how high they throw the
ball up to serve or the
ping pong ball it's crazy I
i would like to see added
functional fitness would be interesting
I mean,
the IF3 has been trying to do that
by creating like a
standardized template to
make functional fitness an Olympic sport.
I'd like to see them.
I know that's the boring answer,
but it's what I'd like to see.
And that's led by Gretchen Kittleberger,
right?
Mm-hmm.
So, yeah, that'd be mine.
Okay.
Kat, you got one?
Can't think of one.
Go ahead.
Is bocce ball?
Is bocce ball in the Olympics?
It probably was at one point in time.
I like street bocce ball.
We play it like in the
neighborhood where it's just like, I mean,
you can, it's anywhere.
Yeah.
Fair game.
Yeah.
We call it hillbilly bocce.
Wherever you can throw the pin.
Now you got to make it there.
Yep.
Chelsea Miller wants bull riding.
That would be interesting.
Lots of logistics there.
Carolyn says,
need more buy-in from game
athletes from IF3.
It needs to be more competitive.
She's also surprised karate
isn't in the Olympics.
Taekwondo and judo are.
Speaking of school, Carolyn,
have you started back to school yet?
I think Friday, she said.
She does a mid-service day.
Then everybody's back on
Tuesday after the holiday.
Okay.
Which would actually be next week.
Yes, next week.
I watched your show on Sunday night.
And I actually retained some
of what I watched.
Look at that.
Yeah, I think Charlie wants slap fighting.
That's what he's talking about.
Oh, see?
He just put it in there.
You are like magnificent.
Okay.
Anything else going on with
you guys before we hit the
one piece of news that I
saw that I do want to bring up?
I just got to take a kid back to college,
and that's it.
Yeah, my kids are,
one of my kids goes to
college very close to home,
so it's not like she's even leaving.
And she technically moved
into her apartment at the
beginning of summer,
just hasn't been sleeping there.
Yeah.
And my son went back last week,
but I think he starts classes next week.
He's got the most expensive
apartment known to man,
one bedroom furnished because he's fancy.
He's bougie like that?
And broke.
So like how he does it, I have no idea.
I don't know.
It's annoying.
But we do have some sad news.
So I will break my sad news
just because we should talk about it.
On July 2nd,
my golden retriever bumper died suddenly.
He was nine years old,
had like a cardiac event,
tumor out near his heart exploded,
internal bleeding.
Like the whole family met at
the emergency room and we
had to put him down like within an hour.
Super shocking.
The kids were, you know,
the kids were wrecked
because he was their dog
along with the other two
dogs that they have living with them.
And now the 13 year old dog
is on his last legs.
He collapsed on Sunday.
I had to go rush home
because Eliana was by
herself and figure out what
was wrong with him.
He got blood work done yesterday.
He is bleeding internally somewhere.
We don't know where.
He's like on his last,
like we're on like the
death watch with him.
He's either going to, you know,
he's having these episodes of like,
wagging his tail playing
with the toy eating frozen
broccoli like he loves to
do going outside and
everything else and then
you know and then he'll
like lie down for 10 hours
and we're just like
watching him so um yeah it
sucks um so we we will
probably in the next week
or two be down to jojo the
one crazy dog that lives uh
at my ex-husband's house
and then the sheepadoodle
that I have here that lives with me so
went from four to two really fast.
And it sucks.
How close did you get those two dogs?
Were they like,
did you get them around the same time?
We got them four years apart.
So we had a golden retriever when,
when we got dash and then
that golden retriever died
at the age of eight from
some crazy cancer.
And then dash, um, when dash was four,
we got bumper.
And then when bumper was four,
we got Jojo.
So it was like every four
years we've gotten a dog.
Um,
And so when bumper died, like we were, we,
we were expecting dash to
die for dash is 13 bumper was nine.
So they're obviously like
four years apart.
So yeah, they grew up together.
So, uh,
we've had dash ever since Eliana was,
you know, a baby she's she's 19.
Now she was like five when we,
when we got her.
So, and he's like the grumpy old man,
Scott, you met him.
He's like a terrier.
He's all kind of disheveled.
And on Friday I went to the
house and I gave him a haircut.
And I did so badly because
the attachment that I used
was like too short.
And so he's got that hair
that is like blonde at the
base and black at the tip.
And so if you don't cut it
completely evenly,
he looks like eight different colors.
And I swear he looks homeless.
Like he looks like he got
ran over by a car,
like just looking at him, his sides,
he's got all these spots on
them of like black and blonde hair.
because I totally butchered
his haircut and it was just on Friday.
And then Sunday this happened.
I was like,
he's not even going to look
cute for his last little few days.
But yeah, everybody's really sad.
It just sucks.
Totally.
I'm sorry.
Well, thanks for bringing the show down.
I'm sorry.
I had to talk about it.
It was on my heart.
No, no.
I know what they, what they mean to you.
So.
Yep.
um corey with a joke uh so
he looks like a boy band
member for us exactly corey
likes corey gets
uncomfortable and makes
jokes I think that's what
it is I will post uh I'll
post the video that eliana
sent me last night of him
playing with his squeaky
toy on my instagram you can
see what he looks like yeah
it looks like spock yeah
how long have you been
doing this you have to read
the comment out loud
Oh, sorry.
Shaming us on the podcast.
I think it's unclear who's
pressing the buttons too.
I think that's why I was
like waiting for someone
maybe to else to do that.
But I know I I'm allowed to
do that too if I want.
So I'll start doing that.
Jake said, I cut my son's hair.
Either it looks like Spock
or Dave Hill from Slade.
Slade is a metal band from Europe, right?
See,
you shouldn't eat broccoli or green
things.
Yeah.
That's what Charlie said.
Dash eats frozen broccoli.
That's like his favorite
thing in the world.
You open up the freezer and
he goes berserk.
What was it?
Yeah, from the 70s.
I thought so.
And then I cut Leia's hair
over the weekend,
but she's all matted on her legs,
but not on her back.
So I just cut kind of like
her legs and her shoulder
blades and blended the rest.
And she looks like a
character from CatDog.
Like,
I don't know if you guys know that
cartoon, but she's super fluffy,
like everywhere around her shoulders.
And then she's got these
tiny little stick legs.
She looks ridiculous.
All right.
So one piece of CrossFit
news we're going to talk about.
What do you got?
And that is,
it went around our group chat.
It is that CrossFit
announced that they are
doing a third-party investigation.
And...
John Woolley,
who I think is trying to
become the new Andrew Hiller,
is getting very expose-ish
with his Instagram and his YouTube,
where he is commenting on
what he sees wrong in the space.
And he makes an excellent
point with this one.
He does.
It's a very good point.
So I'm going to share this.
And hopefully I have it
pretty much at the beginning.
And I'll go ahead and play it around.
Mr. Edge is this for me.
He's worked the bulk of his
career for the department
of Homeland security and
ice as a deputy director,
the U S border patrol is
the largest department in
the department of Homeland security.
again, where he was the director.
This is notable because the
United States border patrol
has been a sponsor of the
CrossFit games for the past two years.
I mentioned earlier that a
third party review needs to
be above approach and unimpeachable.
And the guy running the
investigation has direct
ties and relationships with the sponsor.
Now,
Does that make him unqualified or biased?
No, not necessarily.
Again, I don't know him.
He may be the most honest
person on the planet,
but out of the hundreds of
people in firms,
you could have gotten to run this.
You chose someone who is
connected to CrossFit through a sponsor,
and that raises a lot of eyebrows for me.
You get the gist.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
My initial reaction was,
why can't you guys get out
of your own way?
Yeah.
Yep.
Why not consult with PFAA
about... This has nothing
to do with PFAA.
Well, I know in his long one,
he talks about that.
They weren't consulted about,
I'm just saying that would
have been a good start to
consult together about
where it should like, okay,
CrossFit looks, you know,
maybe throw some names in the hat.
Maybe PFAA does too.
And then maybe they come to
an agreed upon group that's
going to do that investigation.
Well,
you think the investment firm that
owns CrossFit would be able to provide
lots of names of people to
do an independent
investigation that don't
even know anything about CrossFit, right?
I mean, that's kind of what you want,
I would think.
So this part of the thing I
kind of agree with, with John, the PFAA,
one I'm less inclined to believe,
the PFAA is an association.
It's not a union.
they do not have an existing
relationship or a
contractual anything for
them to go to them in this case.
But my God can't how, like you said,
there are hundreds of firms
that you can choose from to
get one guy that has no
connection to what you do.
And this is what you pick.
Yeah.
It's almost as if somebody
came forward and said like, I'll do it.
Here are my credentials.
If you're a good company,
and at this point,
we're not talking about CrossFit HQ.
We're talking about Berkshire,
whoever's running the show
from the investment firm.
I have zero confidence going
forward that these people
can do anything when this
is the stuff that they're doing now.
I get what he was saying
with the PFAA in the longer
version of this if it was a union.
But people have to remember the PFA,
they could not get enough
athletes to band together
to make it a union, to stand up together.
And that is the most
difficult part of a sport
that is more individual
based than a team sport.
That's why tennis and golf
took longer to unionize
than like football and baseball.
That's interesting.
Now, could you in good faith say, Hey,
we want to take a
collection of athletes and say,
we want to do a third party
investigation and want your input.
Sure.
That's what I'm saying.
Then just involve the PFAA.
Or oversight.
I just think it would have
been a good move for a lot of reasons.
Who am I?
I'm just a preschool teacher
that's talking on a Clydesdale podcast.
You have as much authority
as anybody else who's talking right now.
I just... I'm having a real
hard problem with the PFAA right now.
And I haven't said any of that publicly.
Because I want to see more
facts before I talk even more.
But I did talk Sunday night
about there's a lack of
authenticity with some
things going on that's really bugging me.
And...
i think that there's a an
agenda push in a direction
based on things that aren't
related to a man's death
but you're using his death
to do it and I think that
sucks I think the first
thing you have to do is
solve the problem of the
man's death then once we do
that then we can move on to
the other stuff
Yeah.
But as is being said in the chat, you know,
there were no concerns
brought up about run swim.
And for then for you to and
then for you to use that
and say there have been
complaints forever and blah, blah, blah.
Like, yeah.
But again,
I want more facts before I go
too far into it.
Yeah.
OK.
Yeah.
Yeah, I find it's really hard to,
it's even hard to process
it all without knowing
exactly what's going on.
Like,
it's hard to know how you're supposed
to feel.
And I think there's so many
voices in our space that
are taking stands.
And I don't think that's wrong.
Like, that's cool.
with me, um,
I just tend to be someone
who's highly influenced by
things that I hear and people that I see,
especially people that I
respect and care for and
things like that.
So I'm just, it's,
I'm still struggling with
all of it to sort of process it all.
Not quite sure how I feel about, you know,
the surrounding circumstances, obviously,
you know, Lazar's death is,
is the easy one to feel a
certain way about,
but it's just so complex.
And I hear viewpoints from
people that I didn't think
of necessarily.
And I'm thinking, oh, okay, well, yeah,
I get it.
You know,
and then I hear something else
that's completely to the
contrary of what I just heard,
where I said I get it.
And I'm like, yeah, okay, I get it.
It's just, it's hard for me to, I don't,
I feel like I'm all over
the place with my thoughts
and feelings about it.
Well,
that's natural when there are no facts.
Right.
Well,
I think that's what I was getting at.
Like,
it's really hard to say because it
kind of, it's one of those things like,
how do you feel?
Well, it depends.
You know, it depends.
Yeah.
And I don't know what it
depends on yet because I
don't know what that is, but it depends.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I just,
I hope and pray that local
authorities give us more
facts because now after John put this out,
I don't trust the third
party investigation.
Right.
Right.
And a man, an acquaintance of ours died.
Right.
And I was very sad about that.
And it has lingered on for a week.
And it's going to keep
lingering on until we get
some facts about what
happened and some kind of
resolution as to correcting
whatever it was that caused that.
If there isn't.
But at least we'll know
there was no resolution.
Either way.
Okay.
And so, like,
I think for us as a community to move on,
we need facts and answers.
And the problem is we just
don't have any of them right now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You can't get closure is not
the right word,
but you can't get clarity
around it when when there
is no clarity around it.
Right.
Mm hmm.
because you want to be mad.
You want to be sad.
You want to do all these
things and you can't do any of it.
You have no idea where to point it to.
So I have a lot to say about
a lot of things,
but I want facts to come
out before I say them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And that's hard too,
because we like to talk about things.
That's what we do.
Very hard not to talk.
Yeah.
But I think that that is the
best way to handle it right now.
Yeah.
Because I mean, even,
even today we're struggling
for like content.
It's like, so what's going on?
Like, oh, well, my dog is sick.
Like,
I don't want to backtrack what I said
a week ago, like spend done.
Right.
Come out and all of a sudden, woo.
Well, I didn't really mean that.
I meant this.
Sure.
Yeah, it's hard.
I mean,
I will say that I've been paying a
lot more attention to
Instagram and YouTube than
I was a month ago.
I've paid less attention.
I agree.
I've actually really tried
to be not involved in it
because of what you're saying earlier.
I feel like it's influencing
my feelings on things,
and I don't want it to
because I want to know more.
you know, more facts.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I think for me, it's just,
I'm searching for information.
I get that.
And it's not like, yeah,
it's not the information that I,
that I need or want necessarily, but it's,
I also think it's, you know,
I hadn't really been too
involved in the space prior
to me going to the games
and knowing I was going to the games,
I sort of started to get back into it,
you know, and, and now, you know,
as a true diehard that I am like,
I'm in it, I'm back in it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I want to leave with just
two quick things.
And that is,
One of the byproducts of
this whole thing is that I
took some of the best
pictures I've ever taken in my life.
And I don't feel like I can
post any of them.
Right?
So what I've kind of done in
the background is...
I've contacted athletes that
are friends of mine and I've said,
you know what?
They're yours.
I'm just going to,
I'll edit them and you can
have them no cost, no nothing.
But,
and then if you feel okay with doing
that or not, that's your choice.
But I just didn't want them
to go to waste.
Yeah.
Um, but then I would,
so one of those people is Bethany.
Yeah.
Um,
And after talking to her,
I went and looked at her YouTube,
which part one at the games.
If you have not watched that.
Okay.
It is one of the most
beautiful pieces of content
in such a lovely tribute to Lazar.
I highly recommend it.
Caught a cat.
It is real.
It is raw.
Like have a box of tissues beside you.
I know.
But that's just part one,
part two still to come.
Um, it is, it is really,
I'm like tearing up just
thinking about it because
she was in the ice tub when
the search started and the
video captures like her
reaction to it all.
Oh, wow.
That's raw.
I have a funny Lazar story.
Can I,
I want to try to bring one up once a
week as we, as we meet.
Um,
so I was going through my DMS again
from Instagram and I don't
know if you guys remember, but the,
one of the times that we
had him on prior to the games,
he was also going on the seven podcasts.
And it was like the same day or like maybe,
you know,
hours later or something like that.
And I was sort of giving him
shit about it.
And I said something like, you know, well,
ours is better than Savant's podcast.
And he said, he said something like, oh,
it's so hard.
It's like picking your favorite child.
He's like, you both are awesome.
Yeah.
And I,
I screenshot and I sent a seven too.
Cause I, you know, it was just funny.
He was like, Oh, thanks.
That was cool.
Yeah.
I could just hear him in his voice too.
Like saying it, you know,
if he was speaking it.
Yeah.
I can't pick, pick your favorite child.
Yeah.
Oh, I love that.
My lap.
Well, I'll do a memory too.
I can't remember talking to
him where he wasn't
laughing while he was talking.
Yeah.
The only time I can.
Yeah.
A giggle.
The only time I can remember
is when I was in the pit
and he was getting no rep
on his facing handstand pushups.
And he was so mad and
spitting on his judge,
not like intentionally spitting,
but screaming so loud,
like stuff is coming out at his judge.
And, uh,
But that showed, like, that he could be,
he was funny and giggly and
all that all the time.
But when it came to, like,
getting on the floor and going, like,
it meant so much to him.
It's because he was a passionate person.
I mean, yeah.
That's what you get.
In all the things.
Yeah, right.
In all the things.
Yeah, he's a competitor.
Yeah.
Yeah, I probably,
I was taking pictures at the time.
So I need to go back to that
year and see if I can find those.
I need to go back and see if
I have any video.
So yeah,
that's what I reposted it the other day.
because I had forgotten I
had taken that picture.
And then I saw that somebody
liked a photo and I was like from 2021,
what the heck?
And I go and I look,
so somebody must've just
looked up Lazar or whatever.
This reminded me.
And I remember taking that
picture and he was walking off the,
the Coliseum and we were like, great job.
And he like smiled and waved at us.
And I was like, yeah.
Yeah.
I mean that he was,
he was looking at us when
you took that picture.
It wasn't like he was.
Yeah.
That's cool.
Well,
that's the same year he was doing
pull-ups off the railing.
Yes.
Right in front of you guys.
Yeah.
Right.
Did I make it?
Did I make it?
Awesome.
I love it.
Yeah.
We got to keep that going.
Yep.
Let's do it.
yeah I think that's a good
place to end this um but
yeah there's there's
comments in the chat about
how good that bethany video
is um and the editing at
the end man really like
honest to god get tissues
ready because it's it's
freaking fantastic awesome um with that
going to keep his memory
alive uh and we will see
everybody next time on the
clydesdale media roundtable bye guys
