what's going on everybody
welcome to the cloudstone
media roundtable where
today it is cat and dog
with scott she it's I have
my earphones in she can't
hear the music but I swear
it's like as soon as she
hears the music she's like
oh it's time to be on
television she's so cute
this is leah she's adorable
last week leah was barking
because you had a guest oh
yeah that's right oh yeah it's
I'm going to have another
guest on Friday too, but yeah,
she's my little love bug.
She's, she's like a person.
She understands English and
she loves me very much.
So yeah.
Yeah.
So quick, quick news.
We finally put Dash to sleep last week.
Me,
Chris and Els were all there and we
buried him in the backyard
next to the shed.
And I ordered him a little
stone that you put on top.
So it was time.
It was very much past time.
We're on?
We're on.
I'm like, whoops.
I am late.
We're going.
Yep.
So I've got one dog here in
Maryland and one dog in Hocasin now.
We're down to two.
Everybody seems to be adjusting okay.
And I think it was the right thing.
So we're good.
Yeah,
we waited for the sad news until Amy
hopped on.
Okay.
So, yeah.
What's going on, guys?
Nothing.
Back to school.
Back to school.
Yeah.
Getting serious.
Being real.
Coach this morning worked out.
Students back?
Students here did, yeah, this week.
Mm-hmm.
So you got to be outside today?
No, because today's my office day.
Okay.
How dare they keep you in an office?
Yeah.
So you got up early and coached?
I got up early, coached.
I worked out.
Today, it was a fun one today.
It was, well,
it was a bunch of like strict
handstand pushup cycle,
like we started a new cycle.
And then the workout was,
the numbers were so crazy.
Eighty-one double unders,
twenty-seven goblet squats, fifteen GHDs.
Sixty three double unders,
twenty one goblet squats, fifteen GHDs,
you know, and so on,
like descending rep scheme.
And it was surprising.
I guess maybe not surprising,
but how the quads felt from
going from the squats and the GHDs like.
Yeah.
Do you guys have enough GHDs to do that?
Like we have four.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So we actually we have five
because we have one that is
like that you add can add to a box.
But I we usually can figure
out like how to stagger
started or like one person
started on the GHDs.
That kind of thing.
So
Did you work out today, Kat?
Did you have to go?
I did not.
I slept in this morning
because I didn't have to coach.
But yesterday morning,
I did get to work out with
the one person that came to
my seven forty five class.
So we did some back squats
and some wall balls and
some clean and jerks.
Yeah, that was good.
I'm feeling it a little bit.
But yeah, Mark Peters,
the guy that competed in
the CrossFit Games several weeks ago,
is back at my gym coaching
once a week now on Tuesday mornings.
So I get to sleep in.
Yeah.
We did a Games workout yesterday.
A Masters Games workout.
The Echo Bike Max Calorie one.
Okay.
Okay.
So it's seventy five double unders,
fifteen.
They we just had pull ups,
but it was chest to bar for
the Masters Games athletes.
And then with whatever time
is left and they were changing domains,
max calories on an echo
bike for us to get the same
across the board.
But that was awful.
It was max calories on the
eco bike is just brutal.
And I did it in my garage
yesterday on the assault bike.
Thank God I could go stride a little bit.
Now, are you guys,
so you're no longer doing
the IBEX programming then?
No, but I think it's,
so I don't know what IBEX looks like.
Right, it wasn't that.
But the guy who is doing the
programming did help with
IBEX for the last year plus.
Okay.
So I'm betting it's going to
be similar for a little bit
as we move into the new,
but I can't see IBEX to
know how far off we are.
So at some point we need to
compare and contrast.
Yeah.
Yeah, we'll compare.
That's cool.
Okay.
We're still on the back
squat progressions and the
Wednesday deadlifts thing.
We're still on back.
We had back squat yesterday as well.
Okay, good.
How's nutrition?
Everybody?
Great.
I'm just substituting my...
like fun food calories for
normal food calories.
So I'm in a caloric deficit for sure.
I'm maintaining my weight at
about a buck forty,
which I haven't been able
to maintain one forty in quite some time.
Like probably when I was at the games,
I was more like one.
No, I was probably one forty at the games.
But last year at the games,
I was probably like one fifty.
So that's that.
I'm able to keep a caloric deficit,
but it's probably not the best calories.
So I'm trying now to
love protein and make it
taste delicious because
right now I'm in this I
want everything to taste
delicious stage of my life
I actually am down on my
insulin intake so if I get
three consecutive days
under a hundred and ten
blood sugar I get to lower
my insulin intake by two
units so when I first had
the AFib I was at ten units
I'm now at four
great and I'm holding so I'm
in another if I make it
tomorrow another day under
one ten I get to go down to
two nice are you still
losing weight yeah nice yeah um
think we talked about on
here but julie got her
approval for her knee
surgery yes um she's down a
ton of weight as well um
and yeah everything like
we're we're swimming right
along with nutrition it
it's cool that um that
she's doing this because
then it makes it easier for
me to do my plan to lose
weight and uh so much easier
Charlie, how's your nutrition plan going?
Are you guys speaking English or what?
Charlie's on day one of something.
What's your day one today?
Yeah, well,
it was going well and then I
got hurt and then here we are.
What happened?
Well,
I was doing a muscle up and something
happened in my bicep where
then I can't even do a pull up now.
So now it's
Oh, no.
But nothing rolled up,
so I don't think it's... Okay.
Well, that's good.
Nothing hanging off, so you're all right.
No cut by arms.
Problem is, if that's all you got,
then... That's all you got.
Tomorrow will be a great one you can do.
It's just all biking.
See how my legs work.
I use my arms.
Well, you can use a concept to a bike.
Use my arms.
There is some synchronized
burpees thrown in there,
but I think you can do that.
You can get down on the ground,
get back up.
You can do candlesticks.
Wow.
I've been using candlesticks.
So did I tell you guys about
my member who fell off the
rig and broke her wrist?
Yes.
So she's back in classes.
She's had plates and screws
and all kinds of things.
She still cannot lift weight with that arm,
with that hand for like
another couple of weeks.
I think October first is her clear date.
But she's been coming in and, you know,
obviously we've been
modifying the crap out of everything.
But we had wall balls
yesterday and she was able
to take a ten pound
medicine ball and do like a
slam ball with it, you know,
and really sort of favoring
the good hand.
But but at least getting
like some range of motion
in that other hand,
because normally she's just
kind of leaving it down to do nothing.
But we had burpees and I had
her do candlesticks instead.
So that's where, you know, you get down,
roll up and.
It's like a reverse burpee.
So that's our new
modification for burpees.
Did you get approval from
the PFAA on that movement?
I didn't.
I didn't check with them first.
Darn it.
I missed something.
Watch out.
Here they come.
um it's funny you talk about
the scaling I was talking
with lex yesterday who's in
the chat um about amy
morton who is in the
documentary that we
released yesterday and will
be again as it gets goes
along a little bit further
but she gashed her arm with
a knife during one of the
qualification pieces to get
to the games and and it was
a two inch gash
And she was showing us how
she modified wall balls and
burpees to get through that
stage to be able to make it to the games.
And she did closed fist wall balls.
Oh, wow.
She just punched it out there?
Like, I used my fingertips to, like,
you know, to throw.
Like, I can't even imagine, like, one.
Mm-hmm.
That's insane.
But she did it and made it through.
Just an amazing, amazing story.
Clarification though,
she cut her hand during the
time period that she was
doing the qualifiers,
but not while she was doing
the qualifiers.
It was a kitchen accident
that happened during the kitchen process.
I didn't know knife fighting
was part of the qualifiers.
Right.
I was concerned about that.
Uh, so yeah, it was crazy and,
and she made it to the
games and her husband is like, uh, he go,
he is a master's legend.
He's like a six time games athlete,
multiple time champion.
Um, and, uh,
he was there and he's in the
documentary as well.
Yeah.
I love the creativity that
you need to have to be able to,
and I don't even call it scaling anymore.
I just call it modifying
when you're talking about
like an injury or something like that,
because.
a lot of times it doesn't
even look anything like the
initial exercise, but so much fun to do.
And I'm so glad that I went
to that adaptive class,
that adaptive course that CrossFit had.
I don't know if they still have it,
but that,
that was really like eyeopening
to not only work with
people that have permanent disabilities,
but you know,
most of us will run across
athletes as coaches that
just have temporary limitations, right.
Due to injuries and stuff.
So can't say enough about that one.
So did you guys see that Pat
and Brent went on talking
elite fitness yesterday?
Yes.
Did you, so Kat,
did you hear any of what they said?
I did.
I did.
I would, I was,
I was in and out during the
premiere and I didn't like
rewind if I missed a section.
So I just kind of listened
when I could of what was happening.
Um,
You know, they want what they want.
They need to stop talking
because it's not the more they talk,
the worse it gets, in my opinion.
Yeah.
And I did take a couple notes.
So when they were on Coffee Pods and Wads,
there was a meeting that
occurred that Brent knew
about and Pat didn't.
They explained that Brent
went to the meeting and it
was covered by an NDA.
And he was taken aback that
it was brought up on Coffee Pods and Wads,
meaning it had been leaked.
And he didn't know how to answer.
And that's why he stumbled
over what he said.
Did he at one point just
like walk away from the camera?
Patrick, in the Coffee Pods and Wads,
Pat did.
Oh, I thought Brent did too.
I thought they were like, oh, hold on.
Wait, someone's calling.
I got to go.
Okay.
I thought they did one of those.
It was so awkward to watch.
Like I, it was awkward.
So one,
what are you talking about that you
need an NDA?
And you're,
you're asking for all this
transparency and yet it's
only part of the board that
met with CrossFit.
It was covered by this NDA
and that Patrick, Pat, I keep,
Pat didn't know about it
and he's a board member.
Just seems odd.
But that was their explanation.
They did confirm that only
the eight board members
voted on these demands.
And the way apparently their
bylaws are set up are that
those eight get to
represent everybody because
they were elected in as the board.
They did admit that the
demand for Dave's job is
not because of Lazar's death.
It is because they don't
trust Dave anymore through
a series of events that have occurred.
So they're using this as.
Yeah.
So why now?
Why put it out now and
conflate the issue when
it's not anything to do
with what happened this season?
And then I have this – well,
then I'll do this one first.
They had two asks for safety
in the last two years.
One was heat-related for this year.
What were they to expect
when they got to Texas?
And they wanted the workouts
released early so they could know.
The swim run and Farrington
Field were the first two
workouts released,
and they were released
three weeks prior to the event.
So that was their ask, and they got it.
Right.
Yeah.
And we even knew what time
we even knew what time
those were going to be.
Right.
We knew that one was early
in the morning and then one
was going to be late at night.
The other thing is the other
complaint was the E. coli
in the lake in Madison in twenty three.
Well,
that year the CrossFit Games did not
have an event in the lake.
So you so the examples are
using for safety requests
and not being answered
aren't holding much water.
The other thing that I have
a question of is,
and I've said this weird,
and it comes out weird
every time I say it,
is that the CrossFit Games
are the safest place where
these events happen.
I have seen some hinky shit
at other events that you do
not see at the Games, right?
Yes, something tragic happened,
and it needs to be fixed,
and we need to make sure
that that doesn't happen again.
And it was a major, major fuck-up.
Yes.
And needs to be fixed.
I'm in full agreement that
that needs to never happen again.
The PFA partnered with the
NorCal classic this weekend.
There was no water on a ten K run,
no water stations.
And they had a hinky
gymnastics move on a
barbell that many athletes
had to go for help just to
figure out how to complete it.
The PFA partnered with them on this.
Now, for the swim event,
they had paddle boards everywhere.
But, like,
it just... It's not sending a
very clear message when
you're claiming that you're
all about safety and the
things you're asking for
are being completed and the
people you're partnering up
with seem to be doing some
hinky things in their
programming that make it odd.
I just...
I'm befuddled.
I'm bewildered.
I don't get where they're
going with all this.
And the more they talk,
the more I feel like it's
just a couple of the PFA
board members making these requests.
Yeah.
I didn't look at any of the
comments during that, so.
That's okay.
I don't know what anybody has said.
uh sarah cooper says I would
like to know about these
repeated events that have
happened in the past no
substance also what
qualifies as meaningful
also neither of them have
said they will boycott
boycott crossfit if their
demands aren't met uh
Tia posted this morning
she's supporting PFA as a side note.
I read Tia's thing,
and it doesn't really say anything.
It says that she helped create the PFAA,
and she wants to move
forward in a less divided
way and hopes that CrossFit
will come along with it,
but she wants to see other facts as well.
Yeah.
They didn't want the
workouts released early.
They wanted to know how much
was outside and the
specifics around that.
But they got that with the
workout releases.
They got the timeframes.
They knew the two workouts and they...
They didn't partner with
them on the full event.
Well, it, it's,
it's not clear when you
have Instagram posts with
partners with that's how it
came across to me.
Yeah.
And like, why?
Yeah.
I mean, you would,
it would be odd to think
that they would just
partner with them on a single event.
You would assume that they
were partnering with them
on the entire event.
Not to say that what Lexi's
saying isn't correct, but just.
It did not come across that way.
Right.
Yeah,
I agree with the comment around Tia
seemed to post something
because she seemed
obligated because because
Tia hadn't really come out this one.
Tia hadn't really come out
with anything substantial
since the games.
And it did seem like an
obligatory type statement.
Sarah,
why would they only partner for one
event?
That seems too stupid.
I don't... Yeah.
I don't know.
I don't know either.
I, I don't disagree with you Lex at all.
It may have said that,
but Instagram is a word
where you see the picture
and you go with the picture
and you move forward.
You don't always read the content.
And that was the perception
that was there.
Um,
But I can point back to
Wadapalooza where they did
partner for the full event last year.
Handstand pushups were done
on wet surfaces.
Rowers were set up where
people were clanging their
heads on metal posts.
Yeah, I mean,
let's just go out and just
say the fact that nothing
serious like this has
happened before at a non-CrossFit event,
at a non-games event, it's lucky.
I mean, we've seen some shit.
I mean, even in, even in local events,
I was at an event just a
couple of weeks ago,
I was doing scoring for it.
And there, you know, it was this heavy,
a heavy lift for partner, you know,
a four team workout guys on one side,
girls on the other side,
they were right next to each other,
right in front of other people,
right behind other people.
And there were piles of plates everywhere.
Like anybody that drops a
bar is going to hit that plate.
That bar is going to go
flying into somebody else.
Like, and I'm,
and I'm the scoring person
going around trying to just
pull plates out of the way.
like in the middle of the
heat just to try to be safe.
It happens all the time.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I just I feel like the
timing of all this is just
really poor and it's
creating a divide when it's
not about when it's not
about the main issue which
is Lazar's death.
Yeah,
I feel like people have stopped
talking about
what CrossFit is going to do
to ensure that nobody dies
at one of their events again.
And that has to be the most
important part.
I've seen other media outlets talk about,
well,
what's important right now is what
Dave said or didn't say,
or what he led athletes to
believe for going on and blah, blah,
blah.
Like that is not the most important thing.
I mean,
people can get upset about it and
they're going to,
but we keep forgetting that
somebody died and that
that's what we need to fix.
And I think we're all in
agreement that that needs to be fixed.
Yeah.
And guess what?
When people focus on something,
they get it done.
And the fact that they've
got all this other swirl
going around is just
detracting from the efforts
that need to be made and
concentrated on making sure
nobody dies again.
Period.
Right.
Stop all the other stuff.
First things first.
The only safety things they
keep bringing up are the cut ropes,
which have been dealt with
and we haven't seen since.
Yes,
Scott Pancheck suffered a knee injury
and maybe career ending because of it,
but it was fixed.
Other than that,
the other two they pointed
out in this thing were kind of handled.
It just, I don't know.
So you think it'll just be a
nothing will ever be good
enough from Dave because we
just don't like Dave now?
Well,
they say they don't trust Dave
because he misled everybody
by saying that the Jukic
family blessed the games going forward.
And that's not what Lucas said.
And Dave has apologized
saying that it was not what
Lucas said and he shouldn't
have used the word blessed.
So I don't know.
I just want to make sure
that the CrossFit Games moves on.
and we fix the issue at hand.
And with that,
I believe that safety plans
need to be in place and
they need to be gone over
with a fine tooth comb for
events that occur.
And I don't think I've said
this publicly before,
but I know I've said it in
our group chat.
Just because you are a
doctor does not make you a safety expert.
And
I do think that safety has
been sort of just plugged
under medical as a thing.
And I don't think that it's
been a thing of its own.
And I think perhaps it
should be its own thing.
Safety, right?
The people that are safety
experts in this world
aren't necessarily medical
doctors or first responders.
I'm not taking anything away
from a first responder or a
medical doctor for being able to
respond to an emergency,
but that does not mean that
there are safety experts.
That's a completely different field.
And to assume or to have
safety be part of a medical team
I don't think is necessarily
clearly is not necessarily
the best way to, you know,
plan an event and maybe it
needs to be its own entity.
There are parts of this.
We don't know.
We don't know what part Fort worth played,
what part that County or
that park played in,
in developing their safety
plan for that event.
Right.
But, but I will, they have, but it,
it doesn't appear they were good experts.
Right.
But there's no, I've never seen any, any,
the word safety.
behind on anybody's shirt.
Do you know what I mean?
It's athlete control,
it's judges and it's medical.
And so like if safety is so important,
I think maybe it warrants
its own division.
The key is we didn't see you
have a water event.
There should have been water
medical personnel on the beach.
Correct.
There should have been a
dive team available.
There should have been a
rescue boat available and,
And then everything in the water,
we're speculating who was
who and who was what.
That we need to find out,
and hopefully the
third-party investigator
will tell us what that was
and how we can change that up.
Yeah,
and somebody should be in charge of
safety,
and that somebody doesn't
necessarily have to be a doctor.
Correct.
Correct.
We need to figure that out and fix it up.
So that's that.
And I'm sure we're going to
continue talking about this
until there is some kind of resolution.
Right.
But the resolution that
we're looking for is not
who's fired and who's in
charge of the games now or any of that.
It's what happened and what
are we doing to fix that?
And I don't think Dave has
anything to do with it necessarily.
See,
I can't tell you what Dave's role was
in any of this,
but the third-party
investigator will tell you
who from CrossFit was
involved in the safety plan.
That's what I want to see.
Jay Burch,
I did not watch Halpin's thing
last night.
I will watch it probably
later this afternoon,
but I have not watched it yet.
So I'm not able to discuss
that at this time.
And that, to me...
what is that?
Like,
how is that supposed to help us
besides fire everybody up
and get everybody back up in,
this is what should have happened.
And this is what should have,
do you see what time that happened?
Like I had, so I get, I get,
I have a little bit of a,
I get miffed really quick.
And when I saw that,
like you could only watch
it live if you were a subscriber and,
I was like, well,
then I'm not going to watch
it because if you're going
to reduce down the audience
and who can comment and you
just want your subscribers to do it.
And then I kind of got over
it this morning and maybe I
need to watch it just so I
know what they said.
Doesn't mean I have to agree with anything,
but anyway.
I want to get to a lighter note.
At the NorCal Classic this weekend,
one of the people on the
Clydesdale media team podiumed,
and so I want to give her a
congratulations and share this picture.
Our very own Carolyn Prevost right there.
ended up coming back,
taking two seconds to
finish the event and finish
on the podium.
And so she took third place
at NorCal Classic.
And that was awesome because
it is a very good,
good payout for athletes as
a mid-major in the sport.
They have a lot of sponsors
for that event in Northern California.
And so she's on the podium
with Trista Smith there on
the left and Elizabeth
Wishart in the center.
So it was a pretty good female field.
On the men's side,
it was Colton Mertens took the win,
Taylor Self took second,
and Tudor Magda took third.
So congratulations to
Carolyn and her awesome job.
She actually started the
weekend with heat
exhaustion and got some IVs
and then ended up coming
back to finish on the podium.
So that's pretty impressive.
Yesterday,
we also released the first
episode of the behind the
scenes of the Masters CrossFit Games,
which was just check-in day.
I'm currently furiously
working on event one,
the Deadlift Run event.
And that will come out next Monday.
Are you doing an episode per event?
doing an episode per event
and it'll go one a week for eleven weeks.
So we'll keep this thing
going out for a little bit.
My question to you is I
released it this week at nine a.m.
on Monday.
Some of our West Coast
listeners and audience
members wished that I had
waited until later in the day to do that,
like around this time.
So I'm putting it out there.
Would you guys...
Would you guys rather have
it out in the afternoon or
out first thing in the
morning on the East Coast
so that our West Coast
people can jump into the chat live?
Because when I do release it,
I am in the chat live to
talk about kind of what
happened and all that stuff.
And I could wait until
twelve thirty one o'clock to do that.
Yeah, I think that would be cool.
Alex is I think it would be better later.
So
If anybody else has any
strong feelings either way,
please put them in the
comments or in the comments on YouTube,
and we'll do what we can to
make sure that everybody
has a chance to jump in the
chat and hang out with us as we watch it.
I will warn you that
episodes will get shorter.
The check-in was, you know,
four hundred fifty athletes
all checking in and just
kind of like pulling it all
in the event by event stuff.
We had less time to get with
athletes before and post event.
So it will be a little bit shorter.
It will be we talk to people
before the event,
then Ortega's mashup of the
event will be in the middle.
And then we'll have people
talking about a post event
and then Holly's
leaderboards for that event
and then cumulative
leaderboards as we move forward.
That will be the format of
these episodes going forward.
yes if you have not watched
it yet go like and comment
uh for the algorithm we
would truly appreciate that
these athletes thank you
jay birch uh I really
appreciate it uh the team
did a great job uh ellie
hiller was awesome asking
questions um jonathan
ortega and caitlyn walters
videoing from from the
floor I did a great job
ortega then edited all of
that footage into one
mashup for the last episode
and Holly Dugan was by my
side the whole weekend
putting out all the
leaderboards you saw on
Instagram and getting ready
to do the leaderboards for the episode.
Jaber says,
I thought the interviews were great.
Getting some of the athletes
to talk was like pulling teeth.
It was, it was.
And it's really weird.
Like as the weekend began,
getting the women to talk
was pretty easy.
The men worked very hard to
get them to talk.
As the weekend goes on,
the men were the chatty
Cathy's and the women were
then as things kind of got
more tightened up at the end,
they were less talkative.
Hmm.
I think sometimes, too,
this age group isn't used
to being interviewed.
Yeah.
A lot of times I learned
that I had to explain what we were doing.
Sure.
Once I did that,
they opened up with the opportunity.
Lex texted me this yesterday,
but you have to have that attorney on.
His story was so cool.
If you didn't see,
the very first interview of
the episode is a guy who
started a philanthropic
um, organization with athletes.
He has represented
professional athletes for
as an attorney and he
started this hope initiative.
I think it's Ivan.
Ivan.
Yeah.
He's an older guy,
like sixty plus sixty five plus.
Yeah.
He started this organization
with Muhammad Ali, um,
Mia Hamm, Cal Ripken Jr., Alonzo Mourning,
Patrick Ewing.
I don't know.
The list goes on and on.
He lists off a lot of the names.
It was twelve professional
athletes started this,
and now it's like four
thousand athletes they
represent in their
philanthropic endeavors.
But yeah.
Yeah.
Ivan's a character.
He...
He's very particular about his standards.
I remember him at MFC being
the head judge for a couple of years.
I've had some experience with him,
but I remember sitting at
the Fort Wayne airport,
flying out and talking with
him and explaining to him,
him explaining to me how
he's been an attorney forever and
a sports agent attorney and
things like that.
And he was actually took an
interest in Braden and was saying, like,
I was talking about Braden
playing for William and
Mary and he was like, oh,
if you ever need any advice or, you know,
if he ends up going in the MLB, you know,
please let me know and I'd
be happy to work with you guys.
So super nice guy.
he actually represented
professional collegiate and
olympic athletes yeah um so
yeah and I'm gonna try to
get them on um right now
full editing mode uh once I
get my schedule down every
week for these then I'll be
able to start doing some
interviews as well um and
we'll follow up with some
of these and get deeper
stories uh of what's going on but
And I will tell you,
thank you so much for the
compliments on episode one.
These get better because I
got better as the weekend went on.
Doing a behind the scenes is
very different than
interviewing somebody.
You almost have to be a voyeur.
The only thing I will say, so day one,
what's cool.
Cause I was,
I've been cutting it since
last night is that we had
full access at the very
beginning of the weekend.
I could walk anywhere in the
warmup area and walk right
up to an athlete and talk
to them after day one, we lose that,
which really sucks.
And I was really upset during the weekend.
And then I said,
I just needed to put out
the proof of concept so
that we can get it in the future.
But after that, in the warmup area,
there was a barricade
around the equipment.
And so I was not allowed to
go inside that barricade.
So I had to yell for
athletes to come to me and
talk or grab them as they
were over at their duffel
bag or whatever it was,
or they came to talk
because the coaches weren't
allowed in there either.
So they would come over to the fence,
talk to their coach.
A lot of it is I would just
stick the camera into the
conversation of the coach
and the athlete.
Hmm.
like a voyeur would.
And then as they're finishing up,
I would say, Oh, you know, what,
what did he tell you?
Or what are you trying to get out of this?
And then either the coach or
the athlete would then fill
me in on the full
conversation and the why.
And those came out to be really cool.
Um, that one is, uh, um,
valve overalls coach, uh,
once I got him talking like
he did not want to stop and
it's so it was so
fascinating I didn't want
to walk away um so yeah
there's stuff like that I
got some of that with will
morad and max and brendan
the three of them were
chatting and then um and
then it turns into a full
will kind of interview from that nice
So, but that's how it turns as we,
as we get further down the road,
those types of things.
Anything exciting for you guys this week?
Charlie, do you work out?
You're not working out right
now because of the injury?
I'm not.
Any plans to go see a doctor
or if it's all attached,
you're going to just move forward?
Yeah, we'll just give it a couple of days,
see what happens.
I saw way back that Jay
Birch was asking if you had
found your perfect programming yet.
Not yet,
but I think it might be time to
pay the man now that we're
slipping into our forties.
Yeah.
What I like about these
masters interviews too,
is they talk about like
what it's like to train at
this age and that it is very different.
Yeah.
I mean, things hurt, and you're like,
what is that?
And guess who makes an
appearance in the next episode, Kat?
Paul Tremblay?
No.
Gotta be somebody French.
No.
Tia Vesser.
Oh, Tia Vesser.
Okay.
Along the same lines as a Paul Trompley.
Yeah.
Paul,
I got him after or before the front
squat.
I think is where he makes
his first appearance.
Because that was his home run.
Yeah.
This is funny.
Lynn, it was not me.
I love it.
Lisa would never let you go
that far away without her.
uh the cute have you seen
some of the athletes
getting invited to rogue
over in scotland no are
they are they actually
sending out invites today
it's trickling mostly
legends is the way it
started but I saw emily
wolf revealed hers today
they couldn't make it I
want colton to make it
Yeah, I don't think he, by points,
gets the automatic invite.
He has to do the qualifier.
What's the weight?
Oh, ninety five.
That's not bad.
Jay Burch says I'm going to
do the road community workout today.
Ten rounds, five cleans, five push press,
five clean and jerks with a
ninety five pound barbell.
That's not too bad.
That's ten rounds, though.
That's going to add up.
You get spicy.
It's a lot overhead.
Sixty five for me.
I could do that.
Colton was twenty-two.
I have to make a quick exit, guys.
I'll see you later.
Bye.
All right.
Is Colton twenty-two by the
queue or the point system
to get an invite?
And Sarah says a bunch of
people were posting yesterday.
Yeah, I saw like Margo Alvarez.
I saw...
A lot of the legends opening
theirs yesterday, and I saw Emily.
The one I'm curious about is Sprague.
How can you not invite the champion,
regardless of where he
finishes on the points thing?
Is he not a road guy?
He's not.
But the guy just won the games.
He should be able to go.
Cross Fat says,
Colton did all the
qualifiers after NorCal Classic,
which is nuts.
Yeah, I saw some of the Instagram posts.
I know either Savant or
Hiller was filming him doing it.
Crazy.
Crazy that he did all that.
So he was twenty-second on
the Q leaderboard.
Lynn says,
I don't think Colton will make it,
but I'm happy Jorge
Fernandez might make it.
I think Lynn, you may have a bias there.
Jay Burch says,
I think they're going to invite Sprig.
I hope so.
When I said that the other night,
everybody was like
attacking me like he didn't
have the points, but they say, well,
then we reserve the right
to invite whoever we want
because that's an invitational.
Right.
So.
Like if T didn't have the points,
I don't think they'd be like, no.
She can't go.
Yeah,
Lynn says he's actually twenty fifth
right now,
so he's not making it unless
he's invited.
Emily got the points.
Apparently she got invited
or they just decided they
were going to invite her.
But she's finished, what,
thirteenth at the Games last year?
She finished third at the Games this year.
She does well at Rogue every year,
like in the top ten-ish,
right around ten-ish.
So I would assume she has the points.
So there we go.
Uh, and they correct it.
Uh, everybody's saying Sousa was the one,
uh, filming Colton.
So that's, that's it.
All right.
I think that's it for today.
Uh, how was your opening week of football?
Uh, well, you know, as a,
as a Panthers fan, when it's, uh,
Our season hasn't started yet.
Yeah.
Nobody told the players the
season started.
I don't think anybody told
them that the last two
years we were playing football.
But the Buckeyes look good.
Yeah, why?
Penn State and Ohio State
both have a bye this week.
How does that happen already?
I don't know.
It's too early.
Yeah,
I have a quarterback that threw for
ninety yards and we still won the game.
And it was supposed to be different,
Charlie.
It was we're supposed to have him.
He was him.
And now we're winning just
like we did in eighty five
in the mid nineties,
in the mid two thousands.
I'm seeing lovey ball all over the place.
Oh, yeah.
What the heck?
The Kyriek thing is insane.
Still got over a hundred yards.
Insane, man.
I want to know the guy that
had the balls to handcuff
Calais Campbell.
Now that was a whole other thing.
That would take a set so big
to walk up to that dude and be like,
just put him behind your back.
And just hope he goes, all right.
Yeah.
Who are they getting to
replace Bryce Young?
Well,
just know the Bears still have one
more pick from the Panthers
in this coming draft.
Second round pick.
Yeah.
The way the Panthers draft,
it'll be Kyle McCord or
somebody who doesn't belong first.
Oh, gosh.
Yeah.
CrossFit says the body cam
footage is wild.
It is really wild.
Yeah.
What gets me the most is the
contradiction.
One officer trying to do this,
the other one doing the exact opposite.
How the hell does the person
even know what they're supposed to do?
It is utterly insane.
There's going to be some
jobs lost for sure.
Yeah, for sure.
I didn't bother suspending.
We're just, we're just not here.
Yeah.
And you're right outside the
stadium and a guy's driving
a Ferrari with big gold
chains and muscles.
Right.
You might possibly think he's a player.
I mean,
you at least think about it at least.
The part that's rough is when he says,
I just had knee surgery and
they're cranking on his knee.
Yeah.
Well,
that one I'm going to say is very easy.
The worst.
All right.
Here's my conspiracy theory.
One, the worst one is Deshaun.
Because Bryce Young still has a shot.
Well.
Deshaun, it's over.
Here's my conspiracy theory, though.
You saw a new civil lawsuit
was filed against Deshaun.
Yeah.
That actually gives the
Browns an out on the contract.
Oh.
That's right.
Who do you think the Browns
paid to file a lawsuit against him?
To get them out of that,
that guarantee money.
Oh, yeah.
That's easy money.
Do I pay one hundred and
seventy two million dollars
or a couple hundred grand?
Yeah.
That means famous Jameis is coming in.
What were the odds he wasn't a player?
Ferrari arriving surrounded
by Bentleys at that entrance.
And then another player going, hey.
Two other players.
That's our guy.
Yeah.
It's not just like fourth
receiver on the depth chart.
No, like pretty recognizable.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Him and his kids.
I think that's, that's,
that's pretty much the news that is, um,
We'll be back again next week.
Thank you, everybody.
Don't forget,
check out that
behind-the-scenes documentary.
It's out there on the
Clydesdale Media YouTube channel.
