It's lunchtime.
What's going on, everybody?
It's a party Friday with the Glintons,
and they're still dancing.
At least some of them.
It's a vibe.
Oh, my God.
That is the jam.
That's a vibe.
It's so awesome.
Every day.
So it's so good to see today.
This is what happens every time we go.
Scott plays a song, and half the time,
both of us are just watching each other
just kind of bop back and forth because
it's a jam.
What are you going to do?
It is catchy.
We actually had people comment the other
day that they don't leave our show until
the outro is done.
And it's a different version with the same
lyrics.
But they hang on until it totally goes
away.
I found this cool tool and I've made
theme songs for all the shows.
And I don't know how I lived without
it.
no you can't you can't have a show
now without it that's amazing no it's
fantastic well you guys have a cool open
like whose decision was it to go with
a theme song in an open
No,
it was we talked to Pedro and Pedro
did it for us.
And it was really cool.
And he was just like, hey,
do you have an idea?
Do you have it?
And I was like, nope.
All you, buddy.
What do you what you got?
Like, I'm not.
I got nothing for you.
Thanks, Pedro.
I think he just went through some of
our shows and pulled some clips from some
of our shows.
And he did.
That was all Pedro.
Thank you, Pedro.
You're amazing.
Yeah.
Do you know that Pedro and I started
our podcast like two weeks apart,
three weeks apart,
something like that back in two thousand
nineteen?
You first and then him or him?
Yeah, it was I was first.
He was second.
But we didn't know each other at that
moment.
But we became friends like shortly after
because we were.
We were one of the very few that
had something outside of CrossFit that was
our own podcast.
So we would talk all the time.
probably three or four times a week back
then.
Wow.
Did not know that.
Yeah.
I definitely found yours first.
I found Clydesdale first.
I think it was, uh,
was it you Armin, uh,
Craig Ritchie.
There's a couple,
there's like four or five that I,
that I knew of back then that that's
all I watched.
And then a bodybuilder dude that would
always do the Arnold classic or something
like that.
And you'd watch that.
And that was fun.
But other than that,
that's what I had through.
yeah like my inspiration was armin and
savann and savann had retired like he left
crossfit he was no longer doing the
crossfit podcast and he was gone from the
scene it wasn't until like a year later
that he brought his back yeah josh matt
and savann yeah yeah so
So it was wild.
It was a wild time.
And Pedro wasn't Pedro back then.
Like he was just Peter.
He was actually just Peter at that point,
coffee pods and wads.
And he actually had a couple of episodes,
if I remember right,
where they actually talked about coffee.
They did.
They used to talk about coffee.
Wasn't it Savon that gave him Pedro,
the nickname?
Yep.
Yeah.
I feel like once you get a nickname
like that, you just,
it just sticks with you.
You know what I mean?
So when people say Peter, I'm like,
who are they talking about?
Oh, Pedro.
They're talking about Pedro.
The cowboy came from Siobhan as well.
That's why Corey is the cowboy.
Wait, you have to tell me that story.
I've never heard that story.
Barbell Shrugged too.
You're right.
Papa Frank.
Barbell Shrugged was in there too
somewhere.
Yep.
Because he was talking about listening to
Scott's show and for whatever reason
associated me with riding a fucking horse.
Which I have ridden a horse before,
but not religiously.
I definitely don't own one.
I ain't got to ride a horse money
by any stretch of the imagination.
So he started calling me the cowboy.
And that was before he realized that it
was me from the chat.
completely.
And then like,
once he put those two things together,
knowing that I was from Louisiana and
whatnot, like he just,
and he just leaned into it ever since.
Yeah.
Basically what Birch said,
he thinks everybody in the South is a
cowboy.
And I've always been the Clydesdale.
So it went, cowboy went with Clydesdale.
So it just made sense once it stuck.
That doesn't, yeah.
Clydesdale and the cowboy facts.
Yeah.
How did you come up with the name?
Yeah.
Clydesdale.
Yeah.
So back when I was a kid,
I was very athletic.
I did a lot of things and they
used to have races like five Ks,
things like that,
where they had a Clydesdale division and
it was anybody over two hundred pounds was
a Clydesdale.
Mm hmm.
And so when I first got into CrossFit,
I weighed over five hundred pounds.
And I was like,
and then as I lost weight,
I still was big.
And I was like,
wouldn't it be nice if local comps had
a Clydesdale division?
Because our pull ups are way harder than
the little guy's pull ups.
And so that's where it derived from.
And then I'm a less believer in having
a Clydesdale division,
but it just stuck after that.
Also known as rig shakers.
Yes.
That's under two hundred pounds, too.
That's not one eighty five.
You see all those boys that like one.
I weigh one eighty five.
I do not shake the rig.
You do.
You know a lot.
We watched you.
We saw you.
Corey, you only weigh one eighty five.
One eighty five.
One eighty eight.
Depending on the day.
Yeah.
Have you ever met him in person?
No, I have not.
I sent him a picture of me standing
next to Will.
Which is so funny.
I was like,
Will is exactly this much taller than me.
And Corey looks like he's a carnival
prize.
I look like someone,
like he won me at a,
like the carnival,
knocked some bottles down.
They were like, here you go.
And then it got weird.
Yeah, it got weird.
It got pretty weird after that.
My dream is to see Joseph and Corey
in a slam dunk contest.
So fun fact.
In high school,
I could jump pretty damn high,
and we were practicing half-court stuff
one day.
And the ball – and Garrett,
she played ball.
Like,
you know how sometimes the ball hit the
back of the rim and just go flying
like across the gym?
Yeah.
Somebody took a shot.
That happened.
I was standing close to half-court,
and it took one of those bounces where
I looked up and I was like, ooh.
You know how people throw it up,
let it bounce, and then dunk, right?
So I follow it up.
It takes that perfect bounce,
and I jump –
and i pinned it on the bottom of
the rim and landed flat on my ass
the rim stuffed you yeah a hundred percent
a hundred percent and i'm laid out like
this coach green walks up to me and
looks down and goes you all right said
yeah i think so he said don't ever
do that again said yes sir
We'd have to make the room like eight
feet for you guys.
Isn't there a child tight?
Eight and a half.
Oh, okay.
Eight feet.
Yeah.
I thought we just use that Fisher price
plastic one that you can get down with
that as well.
Yes, absolutely.
Down, down with that as well.
You gotta be careful with that one though,
because Ramirez's beard might get stuck in
that and then he'll just be attached to
it for the rest of the day.
His head's like this dangling.
Yeah.
Like help me please.
So speaking, speaking of this, like,
is he your Caleb?
He is.
Like full time Caleb?
Yes.
He's our backdoor guy.
Yeah.
We love him.
I have wanted a Caleb for the entire
time I've done this podcast.
So he actually approached us.
You know,
he was a very big personality in our
chat.
And then we became friends, obviously,
like as we all start.
Right.
We're in DMs.
We're sending reels.
We're laughing about stuff.
We're bitching about CrossFit.
We're loving CrossFit, whatever.
And then he reached out to Garrett and
was like, well,
we met them at the games and then
we saw them again at H.E.R.D.
And, you know,
we were becoming friends with him and Meg.
And then he just reached out to her
and was like, if I can help, like,
I really want to help.
And he has taken that position and he
has he is the sole reason why we
have had some of the awesome guests that
we have had.
He has just reached out to everybody,
which has been very helpful because it's
such a busy season for Garrett and I
both with our jobs and then obviously with
our son.
Yeah.
So he's really just stepped up and and
and helped us.
And so it's really,
really cool that we have, you know,
that he wanted to do that for us.
Does he secure all the guests or do
you do some of that yourself?
I used to do it all.
Even though my wife has gotten some of
the,
like when she got Kristen Pancheck to come
on the show,
I almost died and fell out.
I got two.
I was the one that got Bill Grundler.
Y'all were fangirling so hard when Kristen
got on and it was awesome to watch.
Oh my gosh.
Oh, my God.
I was a little speechless on that.
And I haven't been since, you know,
we had Bill on and he pretty much
was like,
you can't act like fans like you guys
are professionals now.
And it was very helpful for me because
when we started all of this, it's like,
oh, my God,
we're talking to people that we have
watched on screen.
Right.
And you do get that sense of like
they're above you, you know,
and you idolize them and stuff.
And so Bill really helped me be like.
We're just people.
And so that's been very helpful for me.
But when Kristen Panchak came on the
screen, I was like, okay,
I need a minute.
Like I just, one of those,
I need a minute, you know?
It's funny that Bill said that because I
think the charm of what you guys bring
to the space is the fangirl part of
it.
I can't not.
Like, as much as he said it,
maybe Colleen took it to, I can't.
Every time, like,
even Tyler or Ty Jenkins last night when
he came on the show, like, he, like,
smiled or whipped his hair or something,
and I almost choked on a FitAid,
and I had to, like,
get up and run out of there.
You ran away for a couple minutes.
I had to, like, I was like, ugh.
Let me go clear my throat.
To be fair, his hair is next level.
It is world class.
Him and Tudor are fighting for the best
hair in the biz.
So...
yeah and dave castro come on let's yes
dave's flow is is mariah is awesome right
now except right now lets it go that
wasn't that one interview like he like it
was and it just stuck straight it was
humid it was like cory's hair yeah there's
something about mary it was just up
straight up if we're talking fangirl
moment though your interview with lucy
campbell
Garrett, you were like,
you had lost it completely.
I didn't know what even to say.
I didn't know where we were in the
interview.
I didn't know what question anybody was
on.
It didn't help that she just showed up.
Yeah.
We really thought we were going to have
to wait another two hours.
We thought time zone was wrong.
And that she was going to come on
at eight thirty instead of five thirty.
So I was like, OK,
we're just going to screw around on this
forty five minute podcast and then we'll
come back.
Nope.
She popped on and I was just like,
I can't breathe.
Like, it's Lucy Campbell.
And then she said she recognized us.
I was like, okay, well, I'm done.
That's it.
Lucy goes, yeah,
I saw y'all walking across the street.
I waved.
Both of y'all were like, we did what?
You recognize us?
You know what we look like?
Before we met you here?
Like, you know who we are?
Yeah.
But I think what I mean by what
Bill said,
it didn't it didn't take the fangirl out
of me like I'm such still a huge
fan of these people.
But it took the anxiety, I think,
away from me where it was like, oh,
my God, I'm so anxious.
I'm talking to these people.
It's like I can be a fan without
feeling like that.
I'm so full of anxiety or there's so
much pressure that it has to look a
certain way.
And I think the fun thing for Garrett
and I is we've found our lane.
We've created our lane as to.
what really works for us.
And Ty said this to us last night
or whatever after the show, you know,
we were saying thank you.
And he said the dynamic between her and
I of having double hosts is different.
Usually if it's like an interview,
like if they're on set, it's one person.
Caleb might be there,
but it's Seb's interview.
You know what I mean?
And so we've established that back and
forth chemistry to be able to have these
type of conversations, which has been,
I think,
very fun for us to develop that.
He goes,
you guys have really good chemistry
together.
I was like, I hope so.
We've been married for fourteen years with
a nine year old.
I hope we do.
If not, we're in trouble.
I have a question about that, too,
because
When I started my show,
I had two co-hosts.
And it was really difficult.
We were stepping on each other's toes.
One thing I found, like,
when you're trying to interview someone,
the way you ask questions,
you're setting them up for maybe a future
question to get them to feel comfortable.
And inevitably, the other person would,
like,
jump in with a question completely off
topic.
And now you've lost the train of thought.
So...
How do you guys get through that?
Or are you aware because you're in the
same room of when the person wants to
take them down the path?
No,
I think it's just one of us has
the energy to start with and then they'll
get tired or they'll start to teeter out
so the other one will
pick it up from where like Colleen left
off and I give her mind a break.
So I'll talk with the person for a
little bit, but no,
we stepped on each other,
each other's toes a lot in the beginning.
It was, I,
we would look at each other afterwards and
you didn't let me finish a question.
You didn't let me do this.
You didn't let me do that.
It was like, Oh my goodness.
It was, it was,
we figured it out now, I guess.
It's just kind of a little,
we don't really go in with a plan
either.
So yeah.
Well, when we first started,
G very much had an idea or a
plan of exactly how she wanted to have
the shows go.
And I'm very much a person that I
thrive the most when I just jump into
the conversation and I allow the questions
to come up as the conversation is going.
So I didn't do too much like extra
research, I guess you could say,
because I didn't want to have a
conversation that somebody else had.
So if, like,
you and Corey are on a show, right,
and you guys are having a conversation,
I don't want to have the same conversation
that you two had.
I want to have a conversation with Scott,
and then whatever that conversation turns
into, that's what we talk about.
It can be the same topic,
you know what I mean?
But the conversation itself.
And so I think what we've...
And what we really leaned into is that
these are our conversations.
And I've even said to Lucy the other
day, I was like,
I know you've told your story a hundred
times,
but can you tell it again to us
this time so that we can have those
questions, you know?
And so I just think sometimes we still
do that where it's like,
I really want to ask this question because
of what this person said.
And Garrett's like,
you need to give me a minute.
I want to ask this.
And then if we get back to that
question, it's okay.
If we don't,
we follow suit of where the conversation
goes.
But that's a lot of practice that we've
had.
And like she said in the beginning,
we stepped on each other's toes so badly
in so many conversations that we talked
about afterwards.
You both come at it from different
perspectives too.
I think I like that too because...
You know,
Garrett has the history of everything and
have either heard or seen.
And Colleen, you come at it with like,
almost like a therapist.
Does that, have you heard that before?
I've been told that, yes.
Do you have a background there or are
you just like me who've been through
therapy?
Yes.
Yes.
So I, it wasn't a therapist.
She called,
she considers herself a life coach and I,
and I worked with life coaches for
probably the three years, babe,
two and a half, three years or whatever.
And I really grew a lot.
I really grew up a lot.
And so I'm more curious in that context,
style of questioning and that curiosity
about a person of like, you do this.
Why do you do that?
Why do you think this way?
Why is it important for it to be
this particular way?
You know?
And I,
and I just give credit to the growth
that I've had because I'm a very different
person than when we won first got
together.
And two,
when we first started this podcast,
because you have to remember this podcast
was her idea.
And I was very, very, very against it.
And I didn't want anything to do with
it.
But she's my wife.
I support her.
And we figured out our way.
And now I love it.
I think it's so fun.
We've met so many cool people within this
podcast that we never would have met
without it.
So it's just my own.
Now you're doing your own show.
I do my own shows now.
By yourself.
So yeah.
I can't do that.
I mean, you did with Sam,
but that was because I had a family
emergency that I had to leave for.
And I wasn't able to be here for
her.
So that was her very first solo show.
And only with Sam Briggs.
you want to see me die you did
watch that one i died during that
interview that was the most i was think
i was sweating the chair was like wet
i was like i just i was a
hot mess i couldn't think of any and
yes you can laugh at my chair was
wet but it was it was she was
the lesbian gotta go change my shirt
dude i it was i had like a
puddle in my sports bra it was oh
god that was a day you survived i
did i made it have you ever heard
my sandberg story no no dude this is
great so so i used to go to
crossfit polaris which was owned by
christy um o'connell um aramo o'connell
and whenever like the arnold would go on
here which is a big fitness festival um
a ton of crossfitters would come in all
the rogue athletes and they would come
work out with christy um in the afternoon
and i would go to the noon class
so i was doing the open one year
and it was the deadlift burpee workout uh
one to ten back down the torturous one
yes and so i'd finished my burpees and
i'm and i'm up
hands on knees.
I'm not picking up the barbell.
I'm just staring at it.
And all of a sudden I have Sam
Briggs in my ear going,
pick up the damn barbell.
It's not going to move itself.
I was like, wait, what?
I leaned down and picked up the barbell
and started moving.
Well, when she tells you to move,
you better move.
I didn't want Sam to yell at me
again.
Angry British firefighter right here up in
your ear.
No, thanks.
I'm good.
I'm going to pick you up.
Stop yelling at me.
And so after the workout,
she came over and she goes,
I'm really sorry for yelling at you,
but I just knew you had it in
you to pick up that barbell.
And I was like, okay, I did.
You're like, sure, that's fine.
I'm really sorry for yelling at you.
Are you?
No, not at all.
Not at all.
That's so cool.
But I guess when Sam Briggs believes in
you, you have to, you can't not,
you got to do it.
And the truth was I deadlifting that
weight was not that heavy.
Like I could have done it.
I was just being a wuss in the
moment and telling myself I was too tired.
Burpees suck, man.
They just,
she would have told me to get down
and do a burpee.
I may have not have done what she,
but I can pick up the barbell.
Yes.
So how did you two guys fall in
love?
We met at a holiday Inn in Fort
Wayne, Indiana.
That's actually accurate.
It's actually accurate.
I've been in the chat since they started
going live.
More or less.
Yeah,
and he used to talk smack to my
old co-host, Charlie.
Charlie started talking shit to me well
before I ever responded.
We both know Sweet Charlie.
I would wipe the floor with Sweet Charlie.
Love that dude.
Anyway.
And then, yeah.
Corey was jealous.
Corey was totally jealous.
He was like,
I would look better sitting next to Scott
than Sweet Charlie would look better.
Not at all.
Not at all.
It's actually a slow burn how we got
to, like, the show.
yeah hundred percent i've just been
hanging around um he wore scott down
jeremy jeremy was supposed to compete with
him at masters fitness collective jeremy
got hurt couldn't go i was going up
last minute i didn't have any
accommodations of course like listen i got
an extra room that jeremy can't come you
can come hang out so i did we
so our first the first time we ever
met we roomed together
Oh, that's very, that's been a holiday.
Yeah.
Literally had to holiday in Fort Wayne,
Indiana.
Holiday makes it even more.
Yeah.
As Kenneth said,
I used to always say that Corey and
I met when we slept together.
A hundred percent.
That's hilarious.
And so we hung out that weekend.
I actually did a profile on him,
a little mini documentary,
like a ten minute documentary.
Watched him win his first ever event at
a big competition.
Yeah.
uh filmed some of that and then we
just started chatting more like out away
from the show and then i'm like hey
why don't you come on the show once
a week and so we had cajun wednesdays
he would come on every wednesday and and
it just has leaked slowly over time into
like now he has his name on the
show and you can't that's adorable i love
it that's great
Jeremy had no intention of setting us up,
Jodi.
No.
No, he did not.
How did you like going from the chat
to being on screen and having a
microphone?
I don't know if y'all have figured this
out yet or not, but...
my wife will tell you right now that
i would talk to that wall right there
if i thought it would talk to me
back so um i spend most of my
day talking to people as a insurance
person salesman service all that good so
like this is extremely natural for me just
to be able to own here and god
as y'all as anybody will tell you is
incredibly easy to talk to
get along with, all that stuff,
even whenever we do have our separate hot
takes that we're fighting about.
It's funny to watch because we're not
actually fighting.
It's mostly just me going, all right,
Scott, whatever.
We're just kind of moving on from there.
uh yeah no i enjoy the shit out
of it um i really really do i
look forward to my to my hour a
day or so you know depending on what
we got going on um it keeps me
paying attention to actually what's going
on in the space and in whatever else
we're going we're talking about and plus
scott and i have um very eclectic music
tastes that kind of align a whole lot
and movies and stuff like that so like
everything that
um you know the obscure movie references
that i get scott also ends up getting
the obscure music references that i get
scott also ends up getting so like a
lot of times we'll be laughing just he
and i and nobody everybody else is sitting
there going the are they laughing at
because it's something that we know and
they don't necessarily so it's pretty fun
And this leads to something I wanted to
ask Garrett specifically because she
evokes so much emotion in me when I'm
going through Instagram and she posts
different stories.
And it started with, who was better,
Stone Cold or The Rock?
And then it went into some nineties music
reference.
And then it went into like the Danny
DeVito,
Penguin Batman was the greatest one of all
time.
Oh, you were mad at me.
You're so mad at me.
And so I just like start typing like...
Really hard.
Yeah.
But, but what I want to,
the question I kind of had for you
is my favorite shows now with Corey or
when CrossFit doesn't even come up.
Yeah.
I feel like glued to CrossFit all the
time because of this show.
But when we get into pop culture,
like I, it is my favorite day.
It's like, I got a mental break.
I got a reset.
if you guys couldn't do a CrossFit show,
what would you want the topic to be?
Ooh, that's fun.
I can do,
I could go into anything pop culture.
I like all that.
I like, uh,
crime documentaries and old school, uh,
whatchamacallit,
like serial killers and who, like,
we can rank them.
Like, you know what I mean?
Yeah, man.
Seriously.
Next week on The Glintons,
we rank serial killers at the same time.
Hey, dude.
Most women love the documentaries on
Netflix and whatever.
Ask Meg.
Meg will tell you.
We've ranked them before.
Does it even count?
You know what I mean?
It was fun.
But I could do music.
I can't believe you have not watched Game
of Thrones.
That was killing me.
I'd love to get into that with you.
It still blows my mind, dude.
Like him not watching Game of Thrones is
on the same level as my wife,
who is two.
So she's yeah,
she's two years younger than me and has
still never seen the Goonies.
Like those two things go together in my
head.
So why I've not watched Game of Thrones.
one like i have this i have weird
like rules for myself like he doesn't read
books yeah what's funny is someone of my
one of my friends is writing a book
and they asked me to read it and
now like i'm stuck but like i i'm
not a big fan of period pieces like
i don't like watching movies or tv shows
that happen in another time i don't know
why
That's all I do.
She loves them.
All I do.
But I tried to watch Game of Thrones.
And at the time it started,
I had like a ten-year-old daughter.
And the first couple episodes, I was like,
I don't know if I can have this
content on in my house with a ten-year-old
girl.
Not while she's awake.
Nope.
Yeah.
And when you have a ten-year-old daughter,
you don't stay up.
As soon as you get a chance to
go to sleep, you're going to sleep too.
And so I tried it two different times.
Both times I felt like I cannot do
this with a kid in the house.
And then I just never went back to
it.
All of those are so weird, though.
Game of Thrones is weird.
Outlander is weird.
Vikings.
They're all weird.
That time period is just a weird time
period with weird things happening.
But I like period pieces, if you will.
It's fun.
I say it's funny it's funny talking about
Game of Thrones I finally got Jennifer to
agree to watch it we started off and
like she was abhorrent by the second
episode she's like they just killed off
the main character and I'm like he's not
necessarily the main character but I
understand where you're coming from we got
to the red wedding yep and as it's
happening I can see sitting up
And I can see the cloud coming over
her face.
And by the end of the episode,
she said, what?
What just happened?
and i was like that just happened because
i had already seen it right so i
knew i knew what was coming and uh
she refused to watch it for another eight
months before she was calm enough to be
able to accept the fact that nobody was
safe like anybody could die at any given
time for no good reason or necessarily
whatever we we got up to the red
wedding and then i said i didn't get
to watch another episode with her anyway
for about six to eight months
That's how long it was before she
recovered.
Oh, Coach T. Yeah,
the Red Wedding pissed me off too.
I was so mad at that.
But then I had to watch the next
episode when it came out just to see
if they could get me back.
Yeah.
I was okay with it because I'd read
enough stuff before I ever started
watching it.
And people were telling me, hey, man,
look, don't get attached to any character.
Don't get attached to any character.
Joey says,
Red Wedding and Battle of the Bastards
episodes goaded.
Facts.
Red Wedding was my last episode for a
couple years that I finally finished.
Yeah, there you go.
It pissed a lot of people off, dude.
Did I see the Red Wedding?
When she watches shows like this,
I kind of will sit down and watch
like an episode here or there with her,
but I don't sit and watch all of
it.
So I was wondering if I had seen
the Red Wedding.
I don't think I know.
You haven't seen any of the Game of
Thrones.
You've now watched House of the Dragon
with me, though.
You've seen the new one.
I don't even know if I actually was
watching it with you.
I think I was sitting in the same
room with you,
but it was on while we were there.
Because my thing is with some of those
shows,
it's like they jump around so much that
it's like, wait, we just were here.
But now we're like twenty steps over here
and then we're going to flip it all
the way this way.
And I'm like,
I that's not what I want to watch
on TV today.
I want something that I can just.
Gee, we are married to the same person.
You hear me?
Because my wife,
we've been watching something and like,
God forbid,
there's flashbacks and shit like that.
And yeah, he gets it.
It just fucks her all up.
Where are we now?
Who did this?
What just happened?
What just happened?
I'm over it.
No,
she makes me watch Love on the Spectrum
and all the chef shows.
Master Chef, Gordon Ramsay,
Everything Chef.
Like all that.
Do you act like I make you?
You don't.
You don't.
You walk through the living room or the
bedroom while I'm watching and then you go
promptly do something else with our kid or
you go.
You take our kid outside.
You go do some more work,
whatever it is.
You're like,
I'm just going to go do something else.
She'll be like, look,
Jesse and Adam just fought for fifteen
minutes about a cracker.
And I'm like,
I don't know what that is.
It's so into the chef shows.
Can you cook?
Yes.
See, I like can't really cook.
So I consider myself a professional couch
chef.
So I'll watch all the shows and I'm
like, why didn't you add acid?
Or this is too sour or whatever.
But to ask me to make it like
I joke.
So we went and saw Megan and Joseph,
right?
We went to go down to D.C.
and and Joseph can cook.
And so he made us food the entire
time that we were there.
And as I was when we were driving
home, I was like,
my poor wife has to go back to
my cooking night.
Colleen is living vicariously through
every chef show that she's seen.
But then you get the vocabulary, right?
So my wife's cooking and I'm like,
why would you add that?
That's not even the same flavor profile.
Oh, yeah.
Or sous vide, right?
The layers of flavor.
Yes.
Yes.
I've been saying that.
I use that,
and my wife rolls her eyes so hard.
The fact that she hasn't pulled one yet
is amazing, but I'd be like,
she'd be watching me do something.
And he's like, why?
What are you?
I said, I'm layering the flavors in.
Corey, you can cook too?
Oh, yeah.
He brags about it.
I've not seen evidence.
Okay.
So we need evidence.
You live in Columbus, Ohio.
Come within an hour and a half of
here and I will drive to wherever you
are.
Believe me.
I expected in Fort Wayne when I roomed
with you.
There's a whole lot of cooking going on
at the Holiday Inn.
I'll warm something up for you on the
coffee pot hot plate.
He was going to MacGyver layers of flavor
with his like one spoon and a straw.
I'm convinced when Joseph and Megan come
to visit that Joseph's going to bring his
own cooking shit.
He's not going to trust that I'm going
to have anything in the kitchen.
And you shouldn't.
You shouldn't, Joseph.
Don't.
So look, you're laughing,
but every time I get in an Airbnb
to go stay somewhere,
to go compete or whatnot,
before I go to the grocery store,
I go to the Airbnb and see what
I might need.
Because I'm not making no bullshit food.
If I got to eat for a couple
of days,
we're going to make something just like if
I was cooking at the house.
So we go to Airbnb first and see,
okay,
did anybody leave any kind of spices,
salt, pepper?
Because I've been in some...
where I went and picked up just food,
got back over there, loaded stuff up,
opened cabinets, and there was nothing.
Nothing.
I'm like, this is some bullshit.
I may not be a chef,
but I stayed.
I cooked at a Holiday Inn Express last
night.
Cooked what?
With what?
I'm just kidding.
I was like,
right now I got to know.
Did he have a hot plate?
Was there?
ACR said,
see you cooking at the Holiday Inn.
See you cooking at the Holiday Inn.
That's what she's talking about.
Yeah.
That's a good song.
Scott, you're in Cleveland.
Where's LeBron going?
Well, I'm actually a Sixers fan.
So I'm hoping he goes to Philadelphia.
I'm born and raised Pennsylvania.
Where Pennsylvania?
Uh, Western side.
So in between Pittsburgh and Erie.
Um, and I'm actually,
my wife and I are looking at retiring
back there.
Ooh.
I'm going to come back over to the
East coast.
Get those blizzards.
What are you doing?
Well, I missed the mountains.
Um, and I'm,
Yeah,
the house we're looking at would be in
the woods and like a nice place just
to kind of get away from it all.
And my property taxes here are enormous.
Oh, I'm sure.
Us too.
Yep.
Us too.
Good old New York.
It's insane.
It's gotten so bad.
So,
but where I am close to are the
panchecks.
Oh, that's cool.
I really wanted to go up and interview
all four of them live, like...
in person.
And I may still try to do that
after the games.
Like after they finish their run and just
kind of debrief with them.
That would be cool.
They're all going, aren't they?
Yeah, four.
Yeah, four of them.
Spencer, Sax.
Yeah,
Saxon and Spencer used to come to my
old gym here all the time because they
were good friends with one of the people
that, one of the members.
And I got to know Sax really well
back in the day.
Who's going from your team?
Is anybody from Clydesdale going to the
games?
Me.
Oh, you are.
Me and my photographer, Ishmael.
Oh, cool.
Technically,
Jamie and Carolyn are as well.
Jamie and Carolyn are going not through
the media realm, but to the Masters games.
Well, did you hear on,
was it Rich's podcast?
Scott was talking about like the media
difficulties or whatever.
Are you going just to cover the games
or are you looking to go to like
the adaptives a little bit, the masters?
Have you looked into that?
So I reached out to CrossFit and asked
if my past covered all of that.
And they said, no,
you have to reach out to each individual
entity.
And if you watch the show at all,
my relationship with Legends has not been
the greatest over time.
But I did reach out to them and
they did grant me a media credential for
the Masters Games.
I have not done... For now.
I've not done Teens or Adaptive.
But I may.
I don't know.
I haven't decided whether I'm going to try
to cover that or not.
That's a lot of stuff in the same
weekend.
Especially with twenty events plus team at
the arena.
That's crazy.
Yeah,
that we're making Megan Joseph do it.
They're the Joseph almost made masters and
Megan does CrossFit.
So they got enough.
They're young still.
They can go run around for twenty events.
And well,
I discovered we may be flying into San
Francisco at the exact same time.
Oh, that's cool.
So I'm trying to catch a lift in
their rental car to San Jose.
I'm sure they will.
Yeah, I'm absolutely sure that they will.
we've actually exchanged phone numbers,
um, so that we can kind of coordinate.
Oh, you're in trouble now.
Good luck.
You've changed phone numbers.
You are in so much trouble now.
And I'm trying to get in on some
free homemade tacos.
There you go.
That you want to experience for sure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Meg's like we big time now.
Yeah.
I'm excited that they're gonna,
they're gonna go and, uh,
hopefully interview some athletes and get
some behind the scenes stuff and whatever.
It's a, it'll be really cool.
You guys had such a wild experience at
last year's games.
Like so cool.
Like Gary,
you got to do a podcast on the
floor.
It's so cool.
Like I've never had that opportunity.
How hard is it for you to miss
it this year?
Oh, it.
Yeah, it's I have a lot of FOMO.
I want to go so bad.
It's the twentieth games.
There's twenty events.
Yeah, I would love to go.
It just that it's earlier this year.
It's just I it's just too busy with
the deli.
I just can't get away.
But yeah,
I'm going to live vicariously through Meg
and Joseph and just make them go live
on their phone so I can just watch
it while I'm at work and whatnot.
Last year was such an incredible
experience and the opportunities that...
that seven gave us to be able to,
to meet people and talk to people and
do the podcast.
And yeah, it was, it was crazy fun.
Like that's an experience I'll never
forget.
I'm very grateful for that.
That was awesome.
That's like a, well, for most of us,
that's like a once in a lifetime.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's why it's facts.
I looked at my uncle and I was
like, I have to go.
I'm sorry.
Like I can't,
it's a drive away from us.
Like we couldn't miss it.
You know,
we had been talking about possibly trying
to go to the games for many years
when we drank the Kool-Aid and fell in
love with the sport of CrossFit,
but taking a big,
you know, vacation,
I guess you could say during this time
is just impossible for her.
So when it came up that I was
going to be in New York and I
was going to be in Albany last year,
we were like,
we have to make this work.
And so I moved all of my work.
She told her uncle and like,
we're going to be gone for a couple
of days and we'll come back.
Because the rumors at the time were like
the games was going overseas and going to
all these where they wanted to take the
games.
And I was just like,
we're never going to get a shot at
this again.
Overseas to Albany, New York.
Yeah, right?
I mean, basically, yeah.
Same, same.
Exactly the same thing.
No big deal.
So I've told you guys this story.
Like,
you got me home from Albany that night
because you guys were doing, like,
a recap of everything you went through
that weekend.
And I was so exhausted.
But you guys made me so excited about
everything you had just experienced that
it got me home and not falling asleep
at the wheel.
So...
What were,
what was your favorite moment from last
year's games?
Or is it even possible to like pull
that out?
I think my favorite part of the games
was Garrett's reaction when she met Dave.
I just think overall,
like that was just just as her wife,
like knowing how awesome that moment was
for her.
And the fact that it was on screen
and everybody got to see it and you
could just see meeting Megan and Joseph.
Um, but that was really cool too.
I think there's so many moments that I
could like take from,
you know what I mean?
Like, yes,
meeting Megan and Joseph was super cool.
Meeting all of the people that we have
had the chance to talk to, um,
meeting Chase, um,
Man, it was like rapid fire.
It was like Dave, then Boz, then Katie.
Katie shook my hand.
I don't even know what I said.
I think I said I played basketball in
college too.
I don't even know what I said.
I'm pretty sure that's what I said.
No idea.
You may have played basketball in college.
Katie is a legend in Columbus.
Her name is in the rafters.
I know, I know.
With a retired jersey.
It is.
Yeah,
but that's all G could think of was
like, I also played basketball in college.
I was like, I did.
You look like Ricky Bobby trying to give
an interview.
Hands just kept coming up.
I played, I played,
I played basketball in college.
That's pretty much what it felt like.
It was, I was so starstruck.
It was crazy.
It was, yeah, the whole thing,
like watching Tia Toomey do the handstand
walk workout.
I happened to be on the floor for
that.
That was the, that was insane.
It was just, it was just,
if you can go to the games,
go to the games.
Like it's incredible.
Yeah.
uh katie l says hey g and this
is in the south hampton hall of fame
okay scott so i i didn't know that's
nothing like what katie is katie is like
in a whole state i'm definitely not that
But the best experience for my kid was
randomly finding my way into the meet and
greet line for Rich Froning.
And I didn't realize that I was in
the line.
So as you guys remember,
the vendor village,
there was a small vendor village right
outside of the arena.
And then the big one was like a
building or so away.
So we had gone outside.
Garrett had to go back to the podcast
and it was just the baby and I.
So we went outside to get some air,
get away from everybody.
And I just...
went out and I took the left and
kind of walked around.
And then as I was walking to take
the rest of the circle, I'm like,
why are people not moving?
And then I look up and I'm like,
oh, they're waiting for Mayhem.
And I then I kind of saw out
of the corner.
I was like, oh, my God,
Rich Froning is right there.
I was like, well, now I'm in line.
I have to stay in line.
I can't get out of this line.
So we go up there and
Rich, you know,
I've told this story before.
Rich just makes you feel like you're the
most important person in those two
minutes, if that, that he meets you.
And the fact that he reached down and
shook my kid's hand and made it a
point to make him feel important for that
moment or whatever.
You know, we take a picture.
The woman behind me was very nice.
I was just going to snap a quick
picture with him and little G and get
moving.
And she was like, no, no, no, no,
no.
I'll take one.
So we took the picture.
And then I took about five steps away
from him and my knees buckled.
And I was like, oh, okay,
I'm nervous now.
Hold on, let me just look inside.
So that was probably like one of those
highlight moments for me at the games of
meeting Rich Froning and my kid being able
to meet Rich.
I got to meet Rich in a weird
way.
I used to do Advocare back in the
day and they asked me to speak in
an event and Rich happened to be speaking
at the same event.
And I was like, oh, cool.
Maybe I'll finally get to meet Rich
Froning.
And so I speak.
He comes on later and speaks.
And then we went back to grab lunch
and my wife and I are getting a
plate.
We come into the eating area and it's
packed.
And we're walking around looking and Rich
goes, hey,
there's a couple of seats over here.
I thought I was going to drop my
plate.
You got to sit and have a meal
with Rich Froning?
We actually got to sit and have lunch
with Rich Froning and Hillary.
Yeah,
that's when you look around and you go,
who's he talking to?
Is he talking to us?
She is one woman that I would love
to have the opportunity to talk to.
I think the fact that she shared her
story, I mean,
I know that she's not as public now.
She's very much into the private life of
her kids and everything like that, but...
I remember her in the froning docu movie.
You know what I mean?
And I just loved hearing her story and
how she,
they wanted to be parents and her
fertility journey and all of that type of
stuff, whatever.
She's, she's like a lifetime.
I would love to have the opportunity to
talk to her.
That would be really cool.
Who do your knees buckle for, Corey?
Who do my knees buckle for?
I had a very similar experience.
When you met me at the Holiday Inn.
I had a very similar experience when I
met Rich,
when he came speak at a church that
we were going to at a time.
I thought Corey was going to say Will.
I was like, Will makes you buckle knees?
That's the secret.
Not quite.
It's the exact same experience that
Colleen had.
Like,
he introduces himself.
He shakes your hand.
He looks at you like, and that's just,
that is very,
very telling of how he was brought up
and, and whatnot.
Cause that's, you know, when you,
as a man,
when you introduce yourself to someone,
you shake their hand, you talk to them,
you introduce yourself.
If you get their name,
you say it back to them, um, uh,
type stuff.
Um,
it was it was surreal it was absolutely
it felt surreal i still had the picture
of it so it was a men's night
and uh got to take a picture with
him and whatnot and so uh the church
has it's a big metal building so like
there's not a whole lot of cell phone
service so by the time i got outside
the picture i had sent to my wife
finally sent and
I sent a picture to her of me
and Rich and she texted back almost
immediately,
you can see his abs through his shirt.
And I was like, yeah, yeah, you can.
Spoken like a true wife.
You absolutely can see his abs through his
shirt.
So that has been a running joke at
my house since then.
And that was in like.
Twenty nineteen or so,
something like that,
and that's been a running joke pretty much
since then is that I'll put on like
I get a new shirt or something like
that.
I was like,
you see my abs through my shirt.
Is that like a thing?
Well,
that's what I told Colleen after she told
me that story about Rich because I wasn't
there for it.
And I was like, okay,
that's the only man that your knees are
allowed to buckle for.
Like, I'm okay with it being Rich Bowling.
That's fine.
After that, no.
Sorry.
I...
i got the chance to meet boz in
birmingham that was pretty cool um he is
as laid back as he seems it's wild
like he's so chill when we got to
talk to him on the show he is
so cool it is yo he had his
gloves on with the cut fingers off yeah
so like and he just looked like a
mountain man like that had just built a
cabin it was insane it was so funny
it was so awesome
Well, I don't want to keep you guys.
I know that you have something to be
to at one.
But please, let's do this again.
Yeah, absolutely.
We'd love to.
I have so much more to talk about.
And
