Lunch with the Clydesdale - We Can't Just be an Echo Chamber

Every day we take a breath from the normal work day to get a break and hang out with friends to talk about the worlds of Sports, Entertainment and specifically CrossFit.  Today we talk about the Blue Jays going back to the World Series, we address comments on our Sunday Night Show and Do you need to have a "chip" on your shoulder to be a good athlete?

What is Clydesdale Media Podcast?

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.

The best thing I did in my life

for peace and tranquility was to block

Frank.

But he had another avenue.

And he went after it today.

Let's talk about it next.

I love the chase and the hunt,

and I set the pace when I'm running.

I always take what I want,

and I always give it one hundred.

Don't need a bank, nor I'm funded.

Play the game like it's nothing.

I'm always thankful for something.

Don't take for granted, stay humble.

Now wake up!

It's time to look at the enemy.

Look in the mirror if he is no

friend to me.

What is going on, everybody?

Welcome to Lunch with the Clydesdale.

It is lunchtime.

Man, nobody ruins my day.

more than frank more than frank um i

had to do um internet security training

this morning

And so I was going through all that.

And then I tried to catch up on

Savan at high speed.

And then Frank goes in the chat.

It explodes into this rant that he does

all the time,

just spewing and spewing his...

bs all over everybody and then he calls

into the show and ruins that um it

is just ridiculous the he is the gnat

of crossfit he's that annoying little

thing that just buzzes around your face

and you're just swatting him away and

swatting away and he never leaves

He never, ever leaves.

Um,

I said in the chat that Frank is

a chatty Kathy doll that pulls his own

string and just says the same thing over

and over again,

hoping somebody is going to listen.

Ah,

best thing I ever did was block Frank.

And that's all I have to say about

that.

The net of CrossFit clip it.

Um,

Yeah, I know he's spewing right now.

I was listening as long as I could,

but then I wanted to come over and

hang out with my friends instead of

listening to that garbage.

So, yeah, it was just crazy.

So, with that, good to see you guys,

man.

It's good to be here and not be

rushed for appointments or things like

that.

But we got Meredith in the house.

We got Megan.

We got Corey.

We got Jody.

We got Vicky.

Man, they have messed up your guys' names.

So thank goodness I know most of you

through your avatar.

Denise is here.

Linda.

Eric Mackey.

Shanna.

So here we go.

There we go.

Nice.

Yeah,

don't give the squeaky wheel the grease it

whines for.

Eric, I have blocked him on everything.

I, I try not to block people.

I try to give everybody a voice and

be fair to that.

But that man,

that man was just too much.

So he got blocked on everything of my

accounts.

Uh,

cause he was clipping me for everything.

And, uh,

Uh, behold my avatar,

the upside down black and white old guy.

There we go.

Nice.

Amanda jumps in.

Good to see you, Amanda.

Here we go.

So, um,

We're going to talk about our normal

stuff.

Um, last night,

the blue Jays punched their ticket to the

world series.

Um,

I know that makes Carolyn Prevo happy as

a Toronto resident.

Um,

it's the first time that they've been

there since like the

George Springer hit a home run,

a three run Homer to take the lead

back for Toronto and they go on to

win.

And now we have blue Jays Dodgers.

I don't,

I hate when the big super teams win

all the time.

So yeah,

So not rooting for the Dodgers in the

World Series.

I'm rooting for the Blue Jays.

Hope they do well.

Super excited to see this.

I love playoff baseball.

I love the tension it brings.

I love the duel between the pitcher and

the hitter.

I know that's not for everybody.

It's a little bit slow for some,

but it's okay.

We have a little bit for everyone,

and that is awesome.

Okay.

Aaron Fraser,

you need a live call-in number,

so Frank can call in.

I have a live call-in number,

but with the lunch,

I don't always like to do it just

because I don't have a lot of time

because I'm doing this actually on my

lunch hour,

and I've blocked Frank from everything.

So Frank can't even come into the chat,

but I guess he could call the number

because I think he can still watch the

videos.

Okay.

Uh, Lito thought it was Wednesday.

Uh, I love those weeks.

I love the weeks when you get a

day towards the weekend when you,

when you mess it up, but nope,

it's not Wednesday.

It's only Tuesday.

Um, yeah, thank God, Aaron.

Yes.

I couldn't handle it anymore.

I blocked him last week on everything I

have.

fantasy football league is up for grabs

second through eleventh place is one game

apart yeah I'm finally getting my act

together I think I've won three in a

row in that took Howie out this week

so yeah finally on the upswing working

that waiver wire to the best of my

ability to try to improve that team but

what's going on so we got Jess how

are you girl miss you

Hope maybe we can collaborate again

someday soon.

Uh,

so we got the blue Jays last night.

They're going to the world series.

That's awesome.

I don't know.

Like the locker room celebration in

Toronto, they had like dance club lights.

I don't, um,

I don't know if that was like a

setup just for the playoffs or what,

but like the champagne celebration,

they had like club lights going on and

all the bit.

It was crazy.

Maybe they worked with the WFP to get

their lighting.

Good possibility.

Yeah.

Jess, I am good.

Thirty four weeks this week.

And yes, I can't wait to collaborate soon.

And you're going to you're going to have

your hands full, though.

Could have your hands full,

the little one,

but I'm so happy for you guys.

Speaking of collaborators,

Ishmael is heading over to Rogue for us.

So he'll be there capturing video and

picture content of the Rogue Invitational.

So even though I couldn't go over this

year, he can.

So we're super psyched about that,

to do that.

Getting all the info from them right now

on what they're going to provide.

what they're gonna do for him so uh

that's been fun to kind of work on

that uh the next thing i wanted to

talk about real quick is go back to

our sunday night show uh last night savon

did a week in review with dave uh

a review of the week in review with

dave castro and during that he he kind

of

Not kind of.

He went off on Karen a little bit

and what she said about J.R.

While I appreciate him talking about us,

and I don't think we ever said anything

bad about J.R.,

But the thing that I want to say

about the whole bit is we're a show.

We're trying to entertain.

We're trying to have subjects to talk

about.

And if we just agree with everything

that's going on or just praise everything

that's going on,

none of you are going to watch.

And so...

We have to look at things critically in

a way that makes sense to us.

Now,

what Carolyn was just trying to say is

she thought it would be cool if the

masters and the elites were all in one

group competing against each other and you

have two separate leaderboards.

I'm not really a big fan of that,

but I let her have her say.

And I,

and she has some validity to that,

but I don't think we should switch the

way we do competitions because there's one

dominant athlete.

What I was trying to say is Caroline

Klutz becomes a story because she's doing

something amazing.

And at thirty seven or thirty eight,

because she's been in the Masters for a

couple of years,

is doing something that we don't see very

often.

And that is competing with the elite

athletes at an elite level.

Um, it's happened like in tennis,

Jimmy Connor signed up for the U S

open one year and he made it like

all the way to quarterfinals.

And it becomes a big news story because

he hadn't been in tennis for years.

And all of a sudden he's competing with

the youngsters doing what they do.

It's happened at like the British opening

golf where a legend has a good couple

days gets into contention and is competing

with the young athletes.

It becomes the story then for the rest

of the week.

My only contention is that becomes a

story.

And it should have been...

And that should have been highlighted more

and more.

That's all.

That's all I wanted.

Everything else they did broadcast-wise

was so much improved.

And I think it was better than some

of the Hamilton Roads production.

That's all.

I...

I love the picture-in-picture with

multiple athletes on the screen and being

able to see more of the race.

I thought that was awesome.

Yes, Eric.

Huge lesson for CrossFit All Broadcast.

Add picture-in-picture, a full floor view,

and can still highlight athlete races.

That was incredible.

It was innovative.

It was...

It was fantastic,

and it should be adopted by as many

different broadcasters as possible.

And I've said this on the show a

million times.

Hamilton Roads is boring to me.

They are doing the same broadcast they

have been doing for twelve years.

I want something new.

And right now,

the Savon team did a better job

broadcasting this event than Hamilton

Roads has done.

With all those years of experience,

with all the truck innovations,

all the stuff,

it became easier to watch because I didn't

get just single shots of one athlete for

the whole event.

I got multiple athletes in multiple boxes

or side by sides during the event,

and I could see more of the races.

Now,

because it was only six athletes per heat,

I got great floor coverage of a whole

floor,

and that they did have an advantage with.

Shanna,

not many people at the comp seemed to

be aware of how well she was doing

at the time.

That storyline flew under the wire,

which was very unfortunate.

I agree.

It's a shame.

And Carolyn put it well in the reel

I released last night,

is if you're a coach or an athlete

in the elite division and you're not going

out there to watch Caroline Klutz go,

you know she's going to post a top

time.

She's going to show you how to attack

the workout.

It was great research for everybody else.

And that's where Jamie comes in and says,

can you imagine if she was competing head

to head with them and, and be,

and be able to race with them?

She may have even done better than doing

the workouts by herself.

Uh, Vic, uh, Jamie agree on Hamilton road,

Scott.

Um,

moose talent well at hamilton is dry it's

just the same thing like it there's no

there's no new graphics there's no new

format to it every it's the same order

of everything that happens during the

event it there's just nothing new

CrossFit, no need to defend yourself.

People are too sensitive.

Well,

I'm not really defending myself because

just like I can be critical of them

on Sunday night,

Siobhan can be critical of me on Monday

night.

It's what makes interesting podcasts.

Differing opinions make things

interesting.

And then you side with the people you

think you agree with on that topic.

And I can still be friends with Savon

and have a disagreement on how we looked

at Crash and how we looked at Sunday.

But I can also say if I feel

that something could have been done

differently.

That's all.

Switching to each athlete as or after they

finish is pointless.

CrossFit every broadcast.

Well,

that's if they're not stuck on someone

that has finished for thirty seconds and

watching them lay on the ground.

I think that's effective occasionally,

but they do it every single race.

Uh, David Reed,

why didn't she compete as an elite?

I really don't know why she didn't

probably because she knew she could win

the master's division and it paid more

than every position on the podium of elite

other than first.

But she has agreed to come on the

show this week,

but she's been so busy moving,

doing crash.

I'm hoping to get her scheduled later in

the week and we can ask her flat

out why she competes as a master's athlete

and not an elite athlete.

Cross that cross fat who programs, uh,

the rogue events.

Uh, it's generally Chris Spieler,

Josh Bridges, and Katie Henniger.

And from the way Josh talks about it,

Josh and Chris kind of come up with,

I think they're given kind of a template

and maybe some apparatus that Rogue wants

to highlight.

They come up with a plan,

and then Katie is the final say.

Katie is the one that says, well,

let's tweak it to this or tweak it

to that.

So that's kind of how it goes.

And the other reason I say that is,

In the past,

Rogue has always had that tailgate

coverage where it's an alternate desk

watching the event and talking,

and Josh is generally a part of that,

and he talks about that system live on

that show every single year.

So that's where I get that information.

I've also volunteered at Rogue as part of

their...

documentary team.

Um,

and so I've been in the areas where

they're talking and having those

conversations, Katie, Josh and Chris.

Um, and it's fascinating.

Katie definitely is the boss though.

I will say that.

Can't believe that's just two weeks out.

Insane.

Um,

I think that's pretty much it from Crash,

I think.

I was trying to think if there's anything

else I wanted to touch on.

Really,

really enjoying the behind-the-scenes

stuff coming out.

I want to say this about Hiller's

behind-the-scenes.

I like that he's doing it almost as

like a mini-doc.

like his version is like,

here we are before event one,

here's the athletes behind the scenes.

And then here's some clips of them doing

the workout.

And here's some of their times as they

finish, um, doing it that way.

It's,

it's a very interesting and new way of

doing a BTS as opposed to like a

full game stock.

Um,

and because he's talking to the athletes

beforehand and then he's showing you their

times and how they actually did in the

workout after, I really liked that format.

I thought it was pretty cool.

Um, and it,

it gave a little bit of different flavor

than some of the other, uh,

BTS that I've seen.

Um, so yeah.

Um,

The other piece we talked about a little

bit on Sunday Night Show is that there

was a person,

a media member on the floor that some

of the athletes had to go around because

that person was standing in their lane

when they were moving.

And everybody was asking, was it me?

Was it me?

And it was nobody that I really know.

I just saw it.

And I would name names if I knew.

Just like I did at WFP when I

got a picture of the guy right on

the person doing a GHD,

like inches away from them as they were

going back to the floor,

and he was like right there in their

face.

I clipped a screenshot of that and just

showed how distracting that has to be.

And it's so frustrating to me because if

I'm watching...

a UFC fight,

there's nobody inside the octagon with the

athletes.

If I'm watching an NFL game,

there's no media member on the field.

If I'm watching an NBA contest,

there's no media person on the floor.

They are all outside the ropes.

And so that is what infuriates me about

media members being there because it's

already a crowded floor.

You're trying to make it a spectator

sport.

And most of the time they're just getting

in the way of the spectators or the

viewers on the stream and you can't see,

uh, what's going on.

Um,

And that is very, very frustrating for me.

And Jess kind of puts it, and again,

I'm a media member.

I have a camera.

I shoot video.

But I'm not like a professional by any

means.

I'm self-taught.

Maybe a little bit of my daughter,

who is a professional, teaches me.

But Jess says, get a longer lens.

I agree.

Shanna, that happened to me at the games.

Judge in my lane during handstand walks,

so annoying and unnecessary.

Um, I'll be honest, craft fat, uh,

Caleb and Pedro,

I did not see on the broadcast.

Um, no,

I didn't watch every minute of every event

this weekend.

Uh, I was working on some other stuff,

but I didn't,

they'd never became noticeable to me.

This was a person I believe that was

hired by crash, uh, to put out reels,

things of that nature.

But I can't even guarantee that.

Cause I don't know who the person is.

But I did not notice Caleb.

I did see Pedro a few times,

but never like blocking an athlete.

Chet Anufi.

It was Rick Jones and happened multiple

times.

I cringed when it happened with Paige.

There we go.

There's the name.

And the media is not always paying

attention to what they do on the floor,

have pics of one cameraman looking away

during a video.

Well,

the piece I saw with Paige and apparently

Rick Jones is he did not even see

her.

And she had to go around him in

her lane to get from the flip sled

to the handstand push-ups.

Eric Mackey, so conflicted.

Got to get to a noon class for

open workout.

Nineteen wall balls and row calories.

Oh,

that's I always think I'm going to like

that workout until I get into it.

But good luck with that, Eric.

Holy cow.

Jay Birch,

I've run into so many camera people when

judging.

Or get higher up and see different vantage

point.

That's a possibility too.

Tristan, fun story,

threw my hat at a media person who

was in the way of one of my

athletes at a comp once.

There you go.

Take matters into your own hands.

Uh,

nineteen point one was my first ever open

workout.

Also the first time I ever got tunnel

vision.

Jamie, we have row and wall balls today.

Yo, two?

I think two.

She was at the Lions game last night.

Maybe she's still a little hungover.

Rick Jones, he's Crash's main media guy.

He didn't interfere with the weight

loading things.

He didn't interfere with the weight

loading things to learn from.

There we go.

Denise Moore,

I appreciate the break and wave to the

camera.

That's making lemonade out of lemons right

there, Denise.

Yeah.

Jamie sent me a picture last night.

I think she had a good time at

the Lions game.

Chattanoofy,

that was my first ever workout, Corey.

First ever workout?

Was Open Workout in

Oh, first open workout.

Okay.

Okay.

My first workout was Murph,

so I guess I don't have no room

to talk.

It was a blast.

They played so well last night.

My question to you is,

do you like the night,

what do they call those uniforms?

The all black with the Hawaiian blue

helmets?

I love the Hawaiian blue helmets.

I think they're better than the silver

ones, but I'm not a Lions fan.

I'm just looking at it from aesthetic

point of view.

You're the Lions fan, so.

I need Dan Campbell to do some

motivational speeches for CrossFit.

That could help.

The Bears have Ben Johnson now who learned

from him.

He's doing awesome.

I love his speeches.

Never,

ever did the Bears show the locker room

celebrations after games.

And now that they have Ben Johnson,

they put them out for public view after

every single game now.

did not know this is a fashion show

uh trish you just came in we talked

about a whole bunch of other stuff before

uh the uniforms uh i don't know how

anyone affords a camera so how i did

it

How I did it, Grant,

was I sold off all of my sports

memorabilia.

I had like thirty signed mini helmets,

sold them off on eBay.

I had every card that Walter Payton ever

made, sold those off on eBay.

I had a whole bunch of seventy Steeler

rookie cards, sold them off on eBay,

and that got me my camera.

I'm just happy I got the iPhone XII

finally.

That's a darn decent cam.

Yeah,

what's crazy is the phone cameras are

almost as good.

Now,

the only thing that the camera gets me

is with the longer lens,

I can get really close shots.

In order to get something that surpasses

the iPhone,

I feel like it's a five grand or

more.

I paid like twenty five hundred.

for mine.

And I'm really happy with it.

Now the lenses are crazy.

That,

that was just the camera body was twenty

five grand or not twenty five grand,

twenty five hundred.

Vicki,

I've been looking at cameras for almost a

year.

I hear you.

i sold off all my sports memorabilia for

weed to throw a party in high school

unfortunately yeah that would have been a

bad decision the tech changes so fast it

does and once you the thing about a

camera like once you buy one you're pretty

much stuck

in that lane.

Like if you buy a Canon,

you're stuck in Canon.

If you buy a Nikon,

you're stuck in Nikon.

If you buy a Sony, you're stuck there.

And because the lenses are so expensive,

you just have to kind of keep,

at least your lenses can go from camera

to camera.

And Jess is saying, any camera will work,

person behind the shutter.

What's a good app for IG Reels,

et cetera?

Oh, boy.

I don't know what you're looking for,

Vicki, specifically.

There's one that I got that does captions,

and then it's added some other stuff to

it.

It is captions is what it's called.

It has some functionality.

CapCut says Jenny.

But my,

the video software I use to edit my

long form videos has just added an AI

feature where they'll take my long form

podcast and they'll cut it into like ten

different reels.

And it's done a really good job and

it's saved me so much time with reels

that I'm able to put out way more

reels in a week than I used to

be able to do.

Yeah.

occasionally like I had a week,

two weeks ago or something like everyone

at picked was just awful.

Um,

and so I was just kind of stuck.

Um, but yeah.

can't believe what keeping it real got rid

of a signed roberto clemente poster which

in the pittsburgh area would be worth a

fortune uh and a psa jordan rookie nine

gosh what's that thousands you could have

a pretty nice camera grant um

What is this I heard about JY being

a grant?

I don't even know.

I don't know what that means.

Trish, what did you hear?

Ah, now I know what she's saying.

Just took a second.

Um, so there, okay, that's going to be,

I'll watch out for that.

Um,

the last thing I wanted to talk about,

and this, uh,

I'm reminded by this because Jenny's here.

During the crash competition,

Colton was interviewed by the Savant

Podcast.

He went off on a little bit of

a rant about people cutting videos of

their workouts, posting them,

and then kind of blasting them.

Not kind of, blasting them.

And then, and kind of left it vague.

My question to you is,

My question to you is not posting.

Okay.

My question to you is it is obvious

that Colton loves to have a chip on

his shoulder when he's competing.

He likes to take what people say about

him,

and he uses that as fuel in his

training and when he competes.

There's also people like Jason Hopper who

has admitted that he has a burn book

in his phone.

Justin Medeiros has admitted that he has a

burn book in his phone of clipping

everything people say about them.

Do you need to have a chip on

your shoulder to be a great CrossFit

athlete?

That is my question to you.

And I'm sure this is not about...

I'm sure this is not universal,

but I think that the great athletes find

anything to fuel themselves.

And because Grant brought him up,

Michael Jordan is infamous for even making

up stories in his head that weren't true

to fuel him to be even more competitive

on the floor.

And so my question is,

do you have a chip on your shoulder?

To be better.

Tristan says, no, but it won't hurt.

The movement doctor says,

you need to be an addict.

Trish, anything goes.

Yeah.

says,

you need some anger to be able to

perform at a high level,

regardless of the sport.

Uh, CJ,

you're all showed was yesterday was great.

I got caught up and it was a

good show yesterday.

So I guess CJ is the one Oh

one, one Oh, Oh, Oh one.

Gosh, man,

this change has been awful or no,

the movement doctor.

That's CJ.

Okay.

I'll figure this out at some point.

Uh, Trish,

I like the duality of Colton chip on

shoulder, but has a sense of humor.

I think that's really,

that's a great way to put it.

He does have a chip on his shoulder,

but he doesn't let it like fuel his

life.

He just lets it fuel him as an

athlete.

And he's really good at,

at walking the line between the two.

I would argue that when Justin was really

mad,

he let the fuel overtake some of his

life.

When I first met Justin way back when,

he was really easy to talk to,

really fun to be around.

And then there was a period where he

got really quiet and to himself because I

think he let the fuel go too much

or burn too hot.

So...

I think Colton rides that line way better

than most.

And then Corey,

who's going to be on with me tomorrow.

Lito,

I have a folder in my phone called

receipts.

He's actually shown me some of the

receipts.

This Corey has a nice chip.

Uh,

CrossFit says there's a lot of money on

the line, so you need to stay focused.

I can see Justin doing that.

Uh, uh,

they just hate on Colton because we praise

them so much.

They jelly.

So I'm assuming Jenny is saying that he

was responding to some hate he was getting

from some other people who were jealous of

the publicity he gets.

And Moose says it does make for great

storylines.

It does.

I think.

I do think I was that person that

always,

if someone told me I couldn't do

something,

I would be so damn stubborn and try

to prove those people wrong.

And sometimes that gets me into trouble.

Because I don't just do that in a

sports sense.

Sometimes it's in life and I need to

learn to figure out where it's appropriate

and where it's not.

But I do think that I use the

fuel.

every time i've been super successful and

we talked about this a little bit

yesterday every time i've been super

successful in my athletic career or in

weight loss or in crossfit it's i had

a rival i had that one person that

i wanted to beat every single day uh

that kind of looked at me and said

you can't do this um

And then it was everything in my being

to make sure that person never beat me

again.

I don't think I ever kept like receipts

on my phone because back then all we

had was stone tablet and chisel.

But yeah, I mentioned even yesterday,

like I had an, maybe it was yesterday.

I don't know.

I mentioned it on Sunday night that I

had a rival, and his name was Todd,

and I would just do everything in my

power to beat that man.

Everything in my power to beat that man.

The Simi,

I think the longer you do CrossFit,

the longer you realize you're your own

worst enemy,

and it's just you versus the old you.

I wish I could get there, Simi.

I think I have a problem.

And I have a problem.

And here's where I struggle with this a

lot right now.

This is confessional time.

So I have the old, old Scott,

the five hundred pound Scott.

who then became the old Scott that had

lost two hundred and fifty plus pounds and

was like two hundred and sixty and getting

really,

really fit and would get crazy at the

gym.

Right.

Then I had a back injury and then

things changed.

So now it's me versus which old Scott.

There's the old Scott that was like really

fit that I,

my body just can't do what it was

doing then.

But then there's the old,

old Scott that I really need to be

better than and get better and,

and compete against him.

And I'm,

I'm having a hard time in my mind,

not comparing myself to the old Scott,

but going after the old, old Scott.

I hope that makes sense.

Because what you say is true.

It should be me versus me.

Yeah, you feel me.

It's exactly that.

Three fifty down to one sixty five up

to two seventy down to one ninety five.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And now I'm learning how do I use

this new body in a way that it

will never do what the two-sixty Scott

could do.

It doesn't mean I can't be successful

again,

but it's never going to be able to

lift those weights.

It's never going to be able to do

all the things it could do then because

I've had twelve back procedures, right?

Scott,

you can't compare yourself to who you

were.

That's no different than comparing

yourself today with you at twenty.

All you can do is compare yourself to

yesterday.

Gosh, it's I hear you.

I believe you.

But actually putting that into practice is

really, really hard.

But the inside Scott is great.

Well, I want the outside Scott to match.

uh moose comparison is a thief of joy

even against yourself each evolution

brings success failures lessons learned

again all these things make sense to me

logically and

And I know all these to be true.

Everything you guys are saying is true.

It's just getting my mind around that and

to embrace that in a way that's healthy

for me.

George,

it's me at fifty eight versus me at

fifty and I'm losing.

I see me.

I don't have answers,

but thank you for voicing that.

I feel that to my core.

Vicki, I get it.

I lost sixty pounds on this journey and

CJ can attest how hard I can be

on myself.

So I'll give you the advice he gave

me.

Stop moving the goalpost.

That's a good one.

I say that to my daughter all the

time.

I just,

I can say that and I can mean

it.

Now I've just got to do it.

I can't compare my sixty seven year old

Denise to twenty five year old Denise and

her potential to lift heavy.

amanda not comparing yourself to your old

self is easier said than done it is

so so so much easier said than done

but i'm gonna work on it i'm gonna

work meredith it's hard four kids later

and i'm not gonna have the body that

i did but i can still be the

best version of my current life i'm i'm

with you i i look at i look

at my mom and i look at my

in-laws

And I don't want to struggle with the

basic things in life when I'm older.

You know,

still being able to do a burpee in

my fifties is a blessing and it is

awesome.

And that means if you go down,

if you fall down,

you get right back up and

That is life as you get older.

And I want to be able to do

that for as long as I live.

If I can still do a burpee in

my nineties, that will make me happy.

Now I've got to figure out the in-between

to get my outside self back to where

I need it to be.

CJ,

my athlete's just hanging out in your

chat.

I see you too.

Corey Leonard,

I can promise you I'm not the same

human I was ten years ago.

Hell,

I'm not the same person I was ten

hours ago.

And I think that's the point.

Keep growing.

Keep moving.

Don't or stay stagnant.

And thank you, Vicki, for this.

Yeah.

So back on the original subject,

do you need a chip on your shoulder

to be successful?

And I think from you guys,

I'm hearing that it can be a positive

thing,

but it can also be a negative thing

depending on how you use it.

And what Colton did at crash,

he used it in a good way and

he's able to walk the line.

He's able to walk the line between the

chip being used in the right way and

not leak into his day-to-day life.

Um,

and I think others have used it as

well and maybe not as successfully.

Um, uh, Corey, I don't need a chip,

but I damn sure have a chip.

So interesting conversation guys.

I enjoyed that.

Um,

APL five-year plan, ESA section seven.

I was so confused.

So confused.

I do that too, Simi.

I have my work computer up.

I usually have the podcasts on in my

laptop off to the side.

And sometimes I think my mouse is

connected to my laptop.

Yeah, and I mess up.

Then I've explained to my coworkers why

I'm talking about CrossFit in Teams

meetings.

What's your why?

Well, that's a good subject.

Maybe Corey and I will talk about that

tomorrow.

Talk about the why.

That's my favorite question to ask

athletes,

and it's probably my least favorite

question to answer myself.

So, yeah, that's fun.

And I love that Jay Burch is turning

it around on me.

So maybe Corey and I will talk about

that tomorrow.

Because he's trying to make the CrossFit

Games as a Masters athlete.

And I'll talk about my why.

And we'll do that tomorrow on Lunch with
