We cover the sport of CrossFit from all angles. We talk with athletes, coaches and celebrities that compete and surround in the sport of CrossFit at all levels. We also bring you Breaking News, Human Interest Stories and report on the Methodology of CrossFit. We also use the methodology to make ourselves the fittest we can be.
Today,
I have learned that I would much rather
be hungover than have a lack of sleep.
We're going to talk about all that next.
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 family.
Boom!
It's lunchtime!
What's going on, everyone?
Welcome to Lunch with the Clydesdale.
I gotta re-record everything for this new
mixer.
So today I did it myself.
I mean... Live and unplugged.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
What's up, everybody?
Lunch with the Clydesdale,
Cowboy in the Saddle.
Only words I remember.
Dabba dabba doobie dabba da.
I actually had someone else DM me the
other day saying,
your damn theme song is stuck in my
head.
I found myself singing in my car.
Yeah, it's catchy.
It's catchy.
I'll catch myself kind of going like this,
especially after the show.
I like the line where the guy comes
in from the background, counting rips.
That's what this guy does right here.
That is what that guy does.
He's very good at it.
Best rep counter in the business.
He is highly motivated, highly skilled.
We love some Andrew Stanton.
So my daughter came in from Montana last
night.
Ready to do all the things.
Apparently there was some weather over top
the Rockies,
and so her flight got delayed coming in.
It was already going to be a late-night
flight in for me.
and uh it got even later and i'm
sitting in the cell phone lot last night
like oh boy i hope she gets here
soon yeah because i'm dragging and then
the excitement of seeing her and the
excitement of getting home and getting her
unloaded and and all that kind of stuff
like didn't get to bed till one o'clock
in the morning
Then chilling out,
trying to unwind a little bit from the
excitement, probably one thirty.
And then my dog woke me up this
morning at six fifty a.m.
So, yeah.
How's it going?
How's it going?
Can we go?
I quit drinking two and a half years
ago and I would much rather start drinking
again and have a hangover than not get
sleep.
I would take that any day of the
week.
So you know what I can deal with?
Where I get to sleep?
I take Terzi.
And you can too.
Get fifteen percent off your order by
using code Jazzy at checkout or go to
Terzi.com backslash Jazzy and get your
fifteen percent off that way.
They've got like twelve grams of collagen
protein.
Ooh.
Twelve grams.
That's nice for a sleep aid, right?
A hundred percent.
You don't even have to count those macros
during the day.
Just finish your day with a little bit.
And if you are an athlete like Corey,
they are tested.
Their batches are tested to make sure they
are safe for sport.
They got the little safe for sport sticker
on it or decal,
whatever you want to call it, logo.
Yeah.
They're awesome.
Sean in Oregon wants to hear us sing.
I've got to memorize the words myself.
Yeah, you have to wait on that.
Yeah, so... But once I remember the words,
man, we will definitely do it.
I mean, I'm in.
I have no shame whatsoever.
It's fine.
So,
it's going to be a little CrossFit
adjacent-ish.
Okay?
It's going to dabble in CrossFit.
And I don't know if you saw the
clip that Andrew Hiller put out with Tyson
Bajan.
I saw that there was a clip with
Tyson Bajan,
but I did not see what he actually
– I saw it while I was at
Jameson's game last night,
so I didn't get a chance to look
at it.
So I'm going to – I have it
on my story.
So I'm going to go ahead and –
So I'm going to go ahead and play
this.
Side of football.
Favorite athlete, favorite athlete,
favorite athlete.
Jason Hopper,
twenty twenty five CrossFit Games
champion.
Favorite athlete outside of football.
So what is a CrossFit champion have to
do?
The fittest man.
He's the fittest man on the planet.
He won the CrossFit Games.
So how that works is anybody and their
mother can sign up to CrossFit Open.
Right.
Which is a which is three workouts.
You get one workout every week.
I think you got one workout.
You got a week to get your best
time.
You submit that with your video and how
many reps you got on the workout that
they prescribed CrossFit.
If you get in the top twenty,
twenty five percent,
you make it to quarterfinals.
Then the workouts get a little bit harder,
a little bit more gymnastic, gymnastics,
you know, a little bit.
They start to trim the fat.
Yeah.
So a normal guy like me can't make
it past quarterfinals.
Normal guy like you.
So then you go semifinals.
And then in August is when they have
the CrossFit Games,
which is essentially the fifty fittest
women and men on the planet.
So.
Our guy touting the benefits of CrossFit
and the fun it can be.
He goes on because I watched the full
interview last night.
And not to mention,
Waddle and Sylvie is like the top sports
radio show in Chicago.
Sure.
Like the top.
Yeah.
Not like us, number two.
They are the best at what they do.
They are an ESPN station.
Tons of fans.
tons of subscribers,
all of that kind of stuff.
He goes on to say,
everybody should do the open because it's
a way to test how fit you're going
to be and how well you're going to
live into the future.
And every year you get to take this
test.
Am I getting better?
Am I getting worse?
and uh and he goes on and what
what else happens in this video that
hillar did not share is that hillar was
in the room during the year and before
while tyson was getting settled in
Andrew went in first,
and they interviewed him for two to three
minutes about what CrossFit is,
what his part that he plays in CrossFit,
some details about Tyson's training using
CrossFit.
I bet you in the thirty-minute interview,
CrossFit was the discussion for eight to
ten minutes.
So they knew before they got to talking
to him that they were going to,
that he was going to mention CrossFit.
Everybody in Chicago knows Tyson does
CrossFit.
Yeah.
Right.
His, because at press conferences,
he says like the big topic initially was
he said for his birthday,
he does these insane workouts and here he
did a burpee mile.
That is like legend that Tyson did that.
And it comes up in conversation all the
time in the Chicago media.
So the initial question was,
the two radio hosts said they were going
to make a bet and they should do
the burpee mile.
And then it's Hiller and Tyson trying to
say, no, you guys can't do that.
not prepared to just go out and do
a burpee mile no they are not and
tyson got them down to you should do
a burpee hundred yards correct and then
see how you feel right and it will
kind of go from there and so um
It was a great interview.
Tyson is just a great dude.
I love my Chicago Bears.
I know other people are in here dogging
them and going go, pack,
go and all that bullshit.
But bear down.
That's my guy.
CrossFit up.
Well, I mean, that's, that's,
that's who he is, dude.
You know, when they, they,
when it wasn't his press conference and
what he was going to, you know,
if you weren't a NFL quarterback,
what were you going to do?
I got to teach high school somewhere and
just CrossFit my face off.
Like that was just him off cuff.
In this interview, he said,
once he retires,
he's going to become the CrossFit games
champion.
Okay.
Let's see.
No, no, just kidding.
Because he knows what it takes to actually
do that.
And then he did a whole media tour
over the last two days.
He was on another podcast.
And if you just want to laugh,
back in West Virginia,
he snuck into a pool to do a
pool workout and ended up swimming next to
a homeless man.
As one does.
And he couldn't report it because he had
snuck into the pool himself.
Right.
Like, hey,
I know I'm not supposed to be here,
but this guy's really not supposed to be
here.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
He was great yesterday.
He talked about CrossFit in both
interviews I watched.
This one, though,
was the biggest and the most widespread
and really awesome.
And Hiller was there with his camera.
So I don't know what Hiller's putting
together of Tyson content,
but he was filming this whole thing.
So I'm sure we're going to see it
in a CrossFit setting in the near future.
Anytime Hiller does the, you know,
whatever, thirty six hours,
seventy two hours with whoever,
those are all those have been quality
every single one.
So I think it's close to Tyson's birthday
and I think they they have or are
going to do the big workout soon.
I think that's what Hiller is kind of
filming.
So let's go.
And as I did over the phone to
Tyson from the games last year, bear down.
Because I'm the biggest nerd in the world.
That's all right.
You wear it well.
You wear it well.
It's fine.
I saw some comments in here a little
bit earlier about the two hundred thousand
dollar Verizon bill.
What I want to say is that I
did not get an advanced copy of the
glass book like apparently everybody in
the media has.
But when you're number two,
when you're number two or you're Greg
Glassman's friend,
you don't get the glass book.
Everybody else does.
I have not been able to read it.
I want to see what's said and I
want to see what is believable and what
isn't.
But one of the lines that apparently is
written in the book and comes from Jeff
King.
Jeff King was the CEO of CrossFit.
when the media team was let go and
all of that and uh larry young i
can send you my copy thanks larry yeah
there's not even his son's in the media
space he's not but he got a copy
um jeff kane jeff kane jeff king was
a third baseman for the pirates back in
the day uh jeff kane got him turned
into my dad always mispronouncing every
name
now um jeff kane tells a story where
greg would go into a verizon store and
he would buy a person a cell phone
and put there and add it to the
crossfit company phone plan that seems
like a terrible idea and apparently it
came into like
a two hundred thousand dollar a month
verizon bill jeez well phone plans back
then were like especially if you had just
minutes like oh got a hundred minutes a
week or whatever month whatever it was
like that got expensive especially when
you started going over and they started
charging like a quarter a minute which
doesn't sound like a lot until you realize
that a lot
When I bought my teenage daughter a phone
and they said, oh,
we're giving unlimited minutes.
My kid don't talk on the phone.
Where we got nabbed is we went over
the data usage every month and the fee
was huge to pay the overage on that.
And holy shit,
the minute I could grab an unlimited data
plan, I was on it.
You have to force them to actually speak
to somebody on the phone.
Right.
But the data, on the other hand,
that's a whole other situation.
I mean,
everything my daughter does is on her
phone or tablet.
TV, movies, friends, all of it.
It's ridiculous, but it's true.
mark phillips wait until nine pm friday
for the nights and weekends yeah when i
in my younger days it was like ten
pm and then the phone rates dropped thank
god i was a night out back then
those free nights and weekends but back
then that's the only time i was awake
anyway he was on the nights and weekends
like i worked during the day do dumb
at night so
Yeah, MCI, Friends and Family Plan.
Pick your five.
Five people you want to talk to the
most.
We'll give a discount on them.
MCI, Sprint, PCS.
I still wish Nextel was still around.
Those things were amazing.
Yes, same.
Kids only text.
They'll even use voice to text,
but they will never call somebody.
To get my son to actually call somebody
that he needs to call,
like you need to physically speak to this
person, he would rather go,
like one of his professors,
he would rather go find them in their
office than actually just call them.
It's insane.
Mark Phillips has nice hair, Corey.
I woke up like this.
Legitimately.
That's all you need, man.
You just go.
Yeah, I just woke up like this.
I woke up with the intention.
I went to bed last night.
We got home from Jameson's game.
I had to cook,
do a little bit of cooking and whatnot.
And then we fell asleep.
And I went to bed with the intention
of waking up and like, okay,
I haven't done anything since I got back
from Birmingham.
I'm going to go run in the morning.
Like just real easy,
just go run a couple miles.
And I woke up at six o'clock and
I was like, okay,
so I guess I'm not doing that.
Unless they need money.
I don't call if he needs money.
He'll text.
My daughter does go for the puppy dog.
She'll FaceTime so she can do the puppy
dog eyes.
The whole bit.
To be fair,
Brody just started working again,
so he's calling for us.
But he wouldn't, like,
he would only ask for money if he
needed something for something ridiculous.
Like,
can I get money to put on my
whatever video he was playing at the time?
I was like, no, you cannot.
Say what?
You cut the grass and weed eat,
then we can talk about it.
But other than that, no.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh,
Hexie lover says next to walkie talkie
phones.
Oh my gosh.
I miss those things.
That one of those.
And it was that little bloop.
Oh.
I was working construction.
All the idiots that I know,
we say that it's true of a lot
of CrossFit people now that I know,
but it was the same thing with
construction workers back in the day.
The only people I knew that you could
hit up on a next tail at five
o'clock in the morning and have a pretty
coherent conversation with.
Because if you try to do that with
anybody else I know,
they would just either ignore you or tell
you to get bent.
but hit that next tail everybody's on
their way to work and like all of
a sudden it's like a party line this
one comes in and that one hits it
and it's fantastic well what's funny is
you know they made them for construction
because they rubber coated them they were
supposed to be indestructible pretty damn
near law works on a farm he went
through like three in six months oh
I had the brick-looking job where the
battery would fall off after a while,
but only if you dropped it from pretty
high up.
But you could put it,
like slap it right back on.
It would power up.
And the battery actually lasted.
You could charge it once every three days,
and it wouldn't be that big a deal.
Dex says,
Corey walkie-talkies me at Magic City.
We did walk and talk.
That is a fact.
Love that dude.
Absolutely love that dude.
It's good seeing him.
I swear to God,
you guys came from the same spirit animal.
Oh, a hundred percent.
A hundred percent.
If I lived in fucking Birmingham,
he and I would probably get into a
lot of trouble.
You both came from the same Cajun Southern
unicorn.
A hundred percent.
A hundred percent.
I had a good conversation with Dex.
So I'm going to,
I'm going to share a couple of funnies
and then we're going to talk about
something serious and then we're going to
finish off with something fun.
Uh,
these are a couple of things I found
on Instagram that I had to share.
If you've not seen this,
this is just pure gold.
Oh yeah, it did.
probably wondering how i ended up in this
situation we challenged our cousin albert
to get thirty calories on the rogue echo
bike in under sixty seconds if he
successfully did don't want the huda to if
he didn't he had to donate five hundred
dollars to the charity of our choice we
expected him to get it next
Watch your legs.
That's my favorite part of the day.
Watch your legs.
Yep, that's me.
You're wondering how I ended up in this
situation.
Yeah.
That is me every time we did the
team series.
Because I always I didn't want to let
my teammates down.
So I always pushed beyond my limits and
ended up out behind the gym just hurling.
I have not puked from the Echo bike,
but I have come really, really,
really close because Brandon absolutely is
obsessed with programming just pain on the
Echo.
And it'll have you questioned in your
entire existence.
Did you see this?
Dude, yes, that I did.
That is absolutely the way.
Is this bad boy up off a marketplace
this morning?
Mm-hmm.
gonna park that out front and i got
a real good deal on it all right
um there's something that that i saw on
the internet that was posted by athena
perez yep and she is such a good
writer and so eloquent in what she says
and and she says this post says way
more
about what I've been trying to say for
a few months, maybe years.
And so I just wanted to go through
it real quick.
And I don't know exactly what specifically
she's talking about.
I think I have an idea,
but I don't want to put those words
in her mouth.
Sure.
And it is,
I've been sitting with five words for two
years.
We're going to burn it down.
That was what I heard, her voice rising,
energy escalating,
and underneath all of it, the vision,
the numbers, the promise of something new.
Those five words were the foundation.
We're going to burn it down.
I need you to sit with that for
a moment.
Not the offer, not the opportunity,
the foundation.
Because when someone tells you that what
they are building is organized around
burning something else to the ground,
they have just told you everything you
need to know about who they are and
what they're actually building.
Yep.
I've been trying to say since its
inception that WFP was trying to build
their business
on the tragedy of CrossFit.
Essentially,
they were trying to burn it down.
Sure.
Now, to WFP's credit,
I think there have been monumental pivots
more recently where they are finding their
right place and their right size in the
ecosystem.
I still am not sure like we can
support it all.
with what we have right now,
but I do think that they have pivoted
off of this as their foundation.
But I do think it still applies to
Metfix.
I think Metfix came in at a hundred
miles an hour with this attitude that they
were gonna take CrossFit out.
And they never left this piece.
And Greg walking away as a big indicator
that this was their foundation when they
started.
That is a hot take,
but I think this,
this whole thing can apply to so many
things that are not CrossFit,
but I think it applies to those two
things inside the ecosystem.
Yeah.
This goes to something I was talking to
somebody about yesterday.
If you're willing to do something for the
wrong reasons,
you are willing to do just about damn
near anything.
Go ahead.
Let's just throw a for instance out there.
If you're willing to cheat on your spouse.
Right.
You are the,
the rules that apply to whatever else
you're doing.
Probably you don't think they apply to you
because if you're willing to do that,
chances are better than not.
You're willing to do damn near anything
about anything because you have no
scruples at that point.
If you're willing to,
if you're trying to build something on the
ashes of something else,
but you're the one that's trying to burn
it down.
then I agree with Athena.
I know exactly where you stand and I
don't want to be anywhere near you.
Well,
she goes on to talk about the leadership.
You can't burn down the house that made
your house possible.
You can't use destruction as a mission
statement and call it leadership.
You can't try and recruit people through
their wounds,
raise your voice to tell them they were
thrown away like garbage,
and then ask them to follow you somewhere
better.
That's not vision, it's vengeance.
And vengeance cannot produce world-class
anything.
She's a very smart lady.
So as you go through this,
it even shows more.
WFP was built on people's wounds from the
twenty twenty four CrossFit Games built on
emotion.
We've said that on here several times.
And there are still people with that
emotion.
And still people that carry that
vengeance.
Yeah.
Right.
And I would say the same thing about
WFP.
Yeah.
Not WFP.
I just said that.
Metfix.
I think people were hurt with their
position in the new CrossFit and decided
we can start something better.
Whoops.
Dang it.
Yep.
A mission that starts with burning
something down will eventually burn
itself.
The fire that starts as a weapon does
not stay contained.
It finds its way into everything it
touches.
I know this because I was in that
room.
I heard those words.
I felt what it meant to have the
most painful chapter of my professional
life used as a recruitment tool.
And I made a decision that day that
I've never regretted.
You cannot follow a leader who lands from
poison,
not because the work isn't real or the
mission isn't worth fighting for,
but because what is driving the car
matters as much as where the car is
going.
And if what is driving it is the
desire to burn something down,
eventually you will look up and realize
the smoke is coming from inside the house.
Appreciate it.
She's, I mean, she is, she is awesome.
If you've never read her book, it is,
it is that gripping.
Like she, like,
she's just so good at this.
Right.
That's outstanding.
And so, cause Jody's asking who,
who is the actual quote from that is
Athena writing her own experience, Jody.
Yeah.
It's not a quote from anybody.
It's what she lived.
Now, what the actual,
who the actual entity is that she is
writing about,
I would only be speculating.
And that's her story to tell, not mine.
But I'm looking at it as an outside
observer saying,
this is the foundation that WFP used,
and this is the foundation Metfix used.
One pivoted a bit.
One has not.
And the one that is not is in
grave danger of going away.
I think anybody's going to miss it when
it's going.
I don't even think about it right now.
MedFix, I do not even think about.
WFP still has some relevance.
And I think if they pivot in the
right direction and build the foundation,
even though it was late,
they had the basement doctor come in,
put up some stuff, you know,
make it work.
Short up.
Jody,
I'm not speculating anything publicly
because I don't know who it is and
it's not my story to tell.
no i'm saying as an outside observer i
saw this foundation used in both of those
cases and i believe that wfp and
especially
Brian Friend was on with Hiller this
morning.
I think that he made a lot of
great points in that about what WFP is
trying to do moving forward and looking
and doing a lot of self-evaluation and
making changes.
He used the example of putting...
Is it the guy who does Monster Games?
Jason Ansley.
Jason Ansley.
Out as the public face now for...
That is a huge, huge upgrade.
As it should be.
So...
Jason Ansley is a stand-up dude.
He's the best public speaker that they
have.
A hundred percent.
In that organization, by far,
it's not even close.
He is professional.
He has no nonsense.
He has no bullshit.
He's going to shoot you straight.
And he never appears like he's hiding
something.
No,
because he's no nonsense and he's no
bullshit.
So I'm just saying one of those two
entities that built on this foundation
have pivoted
and are trying to fix the foundation as
they go, and hopefully it works,
and it works for some of the athletes
who need them, the other one, I think,
is going to fade into obscurity.
Because daddy took the checkbook and left.
That is a sad fact, but it's true.
So,
Um, but kudos to Athena.
I mean, I love that woman.
Um, if people don't know,
she's been a dear friend, gosh,
since COVID she's fantastic.
Um, and, uh,
I have the utmost respect for her and
her writing ability and her.
I know this is a personal story for
her.
She shares and she uses that as a
teaching tool.
I think she's actually in the process of
writing a second book.
I know she's in the process of writing
a second book,
the next chapter after the last book she
wrote.
And that's,
it's probably an excerpt from there.
If I were to venture a guess.
Good.
She's very good at what she does,
and she deserves all the credit in the
world.
Third,
I believe I have two of her books
already.
If you have the second one, Vicky,
then you are special,
because I don't think the second one is
published.
I think it's coming out this fall.
Probably about the same time that other
book that we can't get a copy of
is.
Yeah.
We have two books.
can't say anything because i think let me
read her first book before it went publish
and um and i felt so honored because
of that uh she's a great human being
so i think with athena we're higher than
two but with the glass book we're
definitely not oh no the glass book we're
probably somewhere around five or seven
somewhere if i had to make a guess
somewhere down that area
so um of course i'm right record this
clip it vicky said i'm right you think
we get vicky to clip it um okay
so last thing i wanted to talk about
is i finished the hulk hogan documentary
if you're in it for the nostalgia
episodes one through three are awesome
it's really about how he became a wrestler
the the hype and the glory and all
of the stuff that was him being a
wrestler episode four is all the dirt if
you're looking for the dirt the drama the
it's all in episode four and that's the
final episode
That's that's standard Netflix documentary
stuff.
And all the, all the, oh man,
this is so cool.
Oh, this is so cool.
And then like episode four, it's like,
okay,
here's all the stuff you probably don't
actually want to know,
but I'm gonna throw it at you right
now.
Um,
I don't want to spoil anything,
but there was a couple things I'll just
bring up.
It talks about him being the icon in
wrestling.
Without him,
there is no big wrestling world.
I think Triple H was quoted as saying,
without him,
we'd probably become roller derby.
He was larger than life.
And the other...
piece was a lot of the wrestlers said
when he was coming up and taking off
like a meteor everybody wanted to be
either his opponent or on his card because
you made a lot more money i would
imagine so and uh and that was pretty
cool and then the his famous move was
the leg drop right
And they talk about how that did so
much damage to his body because every time
he did a leg drop,
it shot up through his spine.
And at the last count in the documentary,
he was at ten back surgeries,
and there may have been more.
He used to be six-eight.
He was six-two when he died.
Jesus.
Yeah,
we're going to go ahead and we're going
to take three discs out of your back.
You'll be fine.
The other thing is it talks about his
addiction to the fame and the cheers and
going into those arenas with everybody
chanting your name.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it was really hard for him to
walk away because of that.
Well, I mean,
when you got God only knows how many
people screaming your name night after
night after night after night after night,
and if you're that type of person that
feeds off of that,
what do I do now?
You know?
And then the last thing I'm going to
talk about is that
i was such a big wrestling fan as
a kid like such i went to see
wrestlemania iii on closed circuit tv at
the civic arena in pittsburgh and it was
happening in like michigan right but we
didn't have pay-per-view we didn't have
all that if you wanted to see a
big event you went to an arena and
watched it on a huge tv
And that is the, that is,
that was the WrestleMania where he body
slammed Andre the Giant.
And, and, and, and, and, and, and, and,
and, and, and,
That's not even in the arena happening in
front of us.
That's how epic at his meteoric rise it
was.
We all did that.
And if anybody doesn't understand how big
a deal it was, the heck,
he didn't just body slam him.
He held him up.
Right?
And Andre the Giant was what?
Five hundred pounds?
At least.
At least.
before he bodies landed like there was a
moment where he's just standing there
holding him i still have that image burned
into my brain i probably always well if
you want to see it again it's in
the documentary a handful of times i'm
sure it is so i'm sure you had
the the figure but did you have sergeant
slaughter gi joe figure i did not i
had um i had big john stud
I had Macho Man.
I had Superfly Snooker.
And I had Hogan.
Hogan equals Froning.
Probably.
I would say so.
Yeah.
That's the CrossFit comparison.
I would say so.
Says Scott knows who Athena is talking
about.
I probably do.
I probably do.
But again, it's not my story to tell.
Nope.

what the old commercials used to say it's
in the book it's in the book go
read the book um is an amazing writer

has a great voice too it is they

wrestling memories mr saco
The alter ego of Hacksaw Jim Dugan.
Hacksaw Jim Dugan.
I'll never forget that either.
They said Andre the Giant drank LSU fans
under the table, Corey.
Hey, bro.
As much as LSU fans like to drink,
I have no problem believing that.
I remember seeing a drink order was at
a bar and it was something absolutely
bananas crazy.
Savon went to WrestleMania one on closed
circuit.
Cause we're the only ones old enough to
know that like we,
there was no other way back then,
but it was,
it was such a cool atmosphere watching
this thing on TV with twenty thousand
friends.
It's phenomenal.
It's crazy.
Absolutely nuts.
All right, guys.
We have an affiliate master semifinals
happening in two hours, three minutes.
I'm not doing them,
so I have absolutely no idea.
I believe you, though.
I know a bunch of friends of mine
that are doing them.
That's right.
Gosh.
Again, I was up too late last night.
Yeah.
I need six more cups of coffee.
Uh, Nick street rolling.
Um, let me, why aren't you do like,
I know that you have some stuff this
weekend.
I know you kind of said,
I put all my stuff into the in-person.
Mostly because my daughter's got a
softball tournament this weekend.
I mean, honestly, that's really it.
And like just the logistics do.
I would have to get my two judges.
I'd have to get everything set up.
I don't have a fifteen foot rope at
my gym,
so I would have to go somewhere else
to do that rope climb workout and bring
my two judges with me or make sure
that they have the two judges that I
need before I get over there and do
that.
But the biggest thing is that I went
last weekend,
I was
All in as far as that's concerned.
That was my chance.
And I'm just,
I got other stuff to do this weekend.
So we're going to do that stuff instead.
Like I am,
I am a man of God.
I am a husband and a father before
I am anything else.
So last weekend was my time to do
that.
This weekend is my time to be with
my family.
Listen, brother.
It was that picture.
Some of the original rope climbs were
programmed to thirteen feet.
The shorty wish that would return to help
out these online comps.
Yeah,
I know so many athletes where their gyms
ropes do not go to fifteen feet.
Ours go to about thirteen-ish.
For me, it's touch fifteen.
I basically have to touch the top of
the ceiling, like in between the rafters.
Yeah, Jamie's is the same way.
The rope's like thirteen and three
quarters and then you have to like reach
up and touch the roof to get to
fifteen.
Basically,
I get to the top of the rope.
I got to reach around the beam and
just as high as I can before I
come back down.
Okay.
go to br i'll mail a brute shirt
for you just see how it feels all
right guys it's fun day don't forget to
like and subscribe to the channel our
subscribers have been going up quite a bit
over the last month or so we're well
over three grand now
Um, can't wait to just keep climbing.
You guys are the best every day, getting,
getting to hang out with you and we
will see everybody next tomorrow on, well,
I have a lunch meeting at noon.
I'm trying to get out of,
if I can get out of that meeting,
we'll be here tomorrow.
If not, maybe I'll go at one o'clock.
Who knows?
I don't know.
We'll figure something out.
You don't need a longer rope.
You just need a shorter tape measure.
With that,
that's the perfect ending to this show.
See you guys.
From the gym to the screen, yeah,
we cover it all midday.
