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.
What's going on everybody.
Welcome to the Clydesdale
media round table where we
are hanging out at lunch.
We're ready to go.
And it's the crew and we're
going to do some updates
about what's going on in our life.
Nothing's going on in CrossFit.
Like there's no announcement today.
There's no sale for sale
sign on the building.
There's really nothing going on.
So we're just going to talk
about ourselves today.
Yeah.
It's more fun.
So I got a call this morning
from my daughter.
You know, she's a photographer.
She has her big interview
tomorrow for the store in Montana.
But she got a call today or from GNC,
the corporate office of GNC.
And I guess there's a big
running race going on in
Pittsburgh Saturday.
And they are sponsoring it.
So they called her this morning,
said they got her name from
a friend of hers in college.
and uh want her to shoot
like some promotional stuff
for them uh two hours five
hundred bucks dang that's a
nice or she's nice paycheck
it's like a five k she's
gonna go down shoot their
signage with runners
running in front of it um
and yeah huge payday for
her yeah what a connection
yeah and just because her
friend from college had
shot for them in cleveland
they called her and she
goes well I can't really
get to pittsburgh but I
have a friend boom and they
called her this morning and
asked her to do it
networking so important
it's all about who you know
you know when your kid like
has success like that it
it's better than anything
you do yeah for sure
speaking of networking so
I'm I'm I'm handling this single thing.
I'm doing like a three pronged approach.
Right.
So we're trying to meet
people in the wild.
That's not happening.
People do not approach me in person,
in public.
I have a whole bunch of
girlfriends that I've been
going out with dinners, you know,
not crazy bars like nice
bars where you pick up like nice people.
I've been going to CrossFit
as much as I can and all that.
Nothing's really come of that.
Um, number two of the dating apps,
which is a fricking dumpster fire.
Um, I've matched with probably like,
twenty people.
I've probably talked to
maybe six people and I've
gone on three first dates.
So, and I'm getting really good at, um,
being honest and open with
people like after the date
via text that like,
I don't think it's a connection.
I'm still working on the
face to face at the end of the date,
admitting that it's not a
good connection.
That's really hard for me to do.
Um, but you know,
they've all ended with hugs, you know,
and there's nothing,
it's not like we're like
doing anything more than that.
Um, but, uh, but yeah,
so I have date number,
I have my first date number four tonight,
so we'll see how that goes.
But, um, here's the problem.
Here's one of the problems to commiserate.
Um,
I think I want to date
someone that does CrossFit.
Like,
I really think I would like to date
someone that does this sport,
that understands the
wackiness and all of that.
Everybody,
at least that I've seen on
dating apps that says they do CrossFit,
they are all polyamorous.
All of them, every single one of them.
What?
I didn't know that was a thing.
But all of them are like
ethically non-monogamous or
have a girlfriend or
looking for a third or just
want intimacy with no commitment.
What?
What is happening?
Is that only on certain apps
or is that on?
All three of the apps that I am on.
I'm on like Bumble, I'm on Facebook dating,
and then I'm on like a
fitness singles thing.
Um, it's the same thing,
but she gets it from
hanging out behind the truck stop.
Yeah.
Competitive or recreation.
It doesn't matter.
I just want to, I like when I got divorced,
it felt like I went on
every date that I went on
from a dating app ended up
being a couple dates.
Like it wasn't a hard, no, the first time.
Um,
And I think I met Mike on like my,
he was like my third match
on online dating.
Like it wasn't,
it didn't take long or
anything like that.
And this time around,
it's just been crazy.
I don't know.
I know what I'm looking for.
Like I'm very particular in like what,
what I want.
Maybe that's the problem.
I like that you're not
afraid to shoot your shot.
Oh my gosh, no.
Oh yeah.
So that's,
That's so number two, what did we say?
We said in the wild,
not working dating apps, you know,
not the thing.
Third thing is I have been
sending texts to, first of all,
to couples that I know are,
have a great relationship
and maybe have friends that are single.
you know,
that maybe they're not aware that
I'm single because I haven't, you know,
reached out to them in a while.
It's so good that you
clarified that because just a second ago.
I know.
I've been sending texts to
couples and weird that they've been.
Well, what I meant was like,
I'm making sure that if I
know like a guy from
CrossFit who's married,
I'm sending the text to him
and his wife because I
don't want it to seem like
I'm hitting on the guy.
Like I,
and I think that's just respectful.
If you know someone that has
like in a relationship,
send it to both of them.
So I've been sending these
group chats to these couples.
saying, hey, you know me, you know,
this is what I'm looking for.
You know,
if you happen to run into anybody,
you know, single, whatever, like,
please keep me in mind.
And I've sent out like seven
of those texts.
I've gotten like four responses, like,
oh my gosh, that's great.
You know, can't wait to help you out,
whatever.
I've gotten three like non-responses.
They're probably like, what the fuck, Kat?
And I've even reached out to
guys that I've had my eye
on that I've just like, hey,
I want to get to know you better.
What do you think?
So
I'm just being very...
You're putting yourself out there.
Yeah, it's fun.
So CrossFat is taking advantage of this.
He's doing a soft launch.
He's starting a polyamorous
CrossFit dating app called
I've Got Plenty of Fish But Need More.
So I have a couple questions
since you're in the book.
I've got to know.
One, I thought we discussed,
maybe it was two weeks ago
that you were not going to
go the dating app route
this time because of the
dumpster fire that it can be.
You threw that in the garbage.
Yeah.
I mean, I have this little,
I have a little bit of a
scarcity mentality when it comes to that.
And I just,
because the other two avenues
have run dry or not really working.
I mean,
I'm not like going to the gym right
now and,
Yeah, I lied.
I don't know.
Question number two.
You're going on your fourth first date,
and it's been about a week
since you've been texting us this.
Well, yeah, I've been single a month.
I've been single over a month officially.
I don't know what even when
I was seventeen, eighteen,
if I went on four first
dates that fast and I've
been married for almost thirty years.
So I've been completely out of this game.
Is there a,
a feeling as you get older that
you've got to get it in
quicker or is it just.
So for me, um, here's,
here's some mistakes I've
made in the past.
I have texted with people
for two or three weeks,
gotten to really like them over text,
met them in person, zero chemistry.
And I just wasted three weeks of my life.
Like I would rather meet someone sooner.
It's why I want to meet
people in the wild.
Like I want to meet people in person,
like at a bar or whatever,
because you just get that
vibe from the get-go and
then you can decide whether
you want to text or not.
But in the dating online dating world,
all you do is text and it's great.
You can have great banter with someone.
You can think they're
intelligent and ask good
questions and all that,
but you can't really get.
Like a vibe.
And what's happened to me is
all three of these guys that I date,
that I went on a first date with,
I was very excited.
Well,
I was like excited about two out of
the three.
Like I was excited to meet them.
Um,
and really like had some high hopes and
then I don't know what it is.
I just meet and there are things,
here's an example.
The guy that I went on a hike with,
we went, I met his dog.
We went on a hike outside.
It was great.
The weather was beautiful.
He was ahead of me the
entire time on the hike, which was fine.
I mean, it was like a narrow trail.
but there were a couple of
places where there was like
this giant tree that we had
to climb over and he
climbed over the tree and
just kept walking.
I kept talking,
like didn't turn around to
like make sure I was okay.
Like not that I needed help,
but it would have been nice to feel like,
oh, you know,
he wants to make sure I'm
going to get over this log or whatever.
That was a total turnoff for me.
And we came back the same
way and it happened a
second time on the way back, you know,
on the, over that same tree.
And I'm thinking, okay, that's just not,
what I'm looking for.
You are looking for a
CrossFitter and they are
going to make it a competition.
He probably was doing it for time.
He was not a CrossFitter.
Let's not do that anymore.
Hikes.
I didn't bring my firearm with me either.
I feel like I'm giving off
an outdoorsy vibe that I'm
not a hundred percent outdoorsy.
I'm outdoorsy-ish but I am not
Like every single second, go, go, go, go,
go.
Like I like,
I could spend an entire
weekend on the couch with a
pint of ice cream and
Netflix and be totally okay with that.
So there's that.
So I'm changing my profile a little bit.
I'm trying to change up the
picture so that it's not just me in every,
you know,
national park that Mike and I
vacationed at because I
think that gives off a different vibe.
Where's the adjacent?
Exactly.
Trish, my age range is anywhere from like,
Realistically,
probably like forty five to fifty five.
Here's the problem.
I'm attracted to the younger guys,
obviously, like just I just am.
But they have little kids
and I don't really want to
be with someone that has a
little kid like my kids are up and out.
I want high school at the youngest.
High school at the youngest kids.
Yeah.
And it seems like the
younger guys are the
younger guys just want to have sex.
And I'm not interested in that.
Like I I want to.
have something more than that.
And the older guys were just old, like, Oh,
they seem really old.
How about a silver Fox?
So my date tonight is with a
silver Fox actually.
Okay.
All right.
Yeah.
Here's the, here's the really funny part.
He had back surgery like two
weeks ago and he can't drive.
He had a, uh, just, just to me, just to me,
um, just got his stitches out on Tuesday.
So like the two of us are
going to be quite the pair.
He's like, yeah, I'll cut your food.
You'll have to count me out of that.
Help me out of the chair,
but he used to do CrossFit.
He did CrossFit before COVID
and he told me he had a sub
four minute Fran time.
So is he willing to get back into it?
Uh, well with the back recovery,
I'm not sure he's a big golfer.
He's big in the golf and he
belongs to a country club
close to where I live.
Um, so he is,
I think he's like mid fifties,
a little older than me.
Yeah.
Trish.
Thank you.
I'm fifty-two unfortunately.
So yeah.
So that's tonight.
Look at CrossFit.
It's going to wipe.
Right.
He can't bend over and I
can't use this hand, but guys,
this is the,
this is the hair for the date.
This is as good as it's
going to get with my one armed.
It looks good.
My one armed curling iron.
So,
and the only other thing is my wardrobe
is very limited,
like short sleeves and it's cold today.
So.
Oh, it's beautiful here today.
Yeah.
So anyway, so that's my thing.
I have to go to a meeting now at work,
but I wanted to check in
and let everyone know,
and I'll keep you posted
because this is really fun.
I'm having a good time with it.
I'm trying to be a good sport.
So glad you could join us
for Dating with Kat.
Yes.
Stay tuned.
This will be the open of our
show for the next few weeks.
I might make my own show.
I could only maybe have my
own little thing.
We'll have to talk about it.
I'm going to try to leave
the studio and not end the stream.
Okay.
Well, that's hard to do.
See you guys.
Love you.
Bye bye.
Scott.
Yes.
Do you think this workout was leaked?
Uh, yes.
Okay.
Let's talk about what we think it is.
I think it is.
um I think it is wall walks
deadlifts in row fifty
calorie row in between okay
um with twenty five wall
walks fifty calorie row
twenty five deadlifts fifty
calorie row okay and I hope
it's not I hope it I hope
the leak is a fake because
I'm tired of leaks I'm really just
But also I do hope rowing only,
only because I don't want to row,
but because that's the movement, I guess,
in our competition.
And I hope that I get some
points from that.
Got you.
Yeah.
CrossFit wants to know,
do you think a viewer will DM Kat?
I am sure that she is getting DMs.
Yeah.
One, I'm excited about today.
Someone scheduled a freaking
meeting for me right at
three o'clock today,
which really pissed me off
because now I have to watch
on tape delay.
But I'm excited about the competition.
I'm excited about Dallin
versus James versus Jason.
And Tyson Bajent,
my Chicago Bears backup quarterback,
is going to throw down with them,
which I think is fun.
I'm excited about all that.
And I think that the leaked
workout would be a fun
workout to watch them do.
but I don't want it to be,
I don't want it to be the leaked workout.
I'm just tired of it.
You remember like the early
days when we started the open,
how excited we got for the
open announcements.
Yeah, totally.
I mean that first year,
like Mikey and Springs and
I would sit in my basement
waiting for the announcement every week.
And yeah,
Yeah.
I'm just, who knows?
I mean, yeah,
I hope it's not leaked just cause I'm,
I'm, I'm sick of that too.
And I want that excitement and yeah.
Yeah.
Have they come out to
respond to the leak before?
Dave did in his weekend review,
talk to it.
What'd he say?
Um, he didn't say a lot.
He said that like last week
there was a lot of talk
around the workout being leaked.
Um,
he said it was because his clue was
easy to figure out.
Like most of his clues are,
which is total horseshit.
That's the only one I've
ever seen that actually
equaled a clue that I knew.
Right.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Um,
And then he said that he has
seen some iterations of
this week's workout and he
would not confirm nor deny,
but you'll know on Thursday
if you were right or wrong.
Okay.
Great.
And he said it in a way like
you think you know it.
But do you really know it?
Do you really know it?
Yeah.
But we'll see.
We'll see.
Maybe he's just trying to
add suspense where there is
none because it's been leaked.
I don't know.
But, uh,
But yeah, um,
Sousa's chat with Dallin this,
this AM was really good.
I have not caught it yet.
I've had like just stupid
amounts of meetings this week.
Uh,
so it's really like bit into my getting
to watch CrossFit or listen
to CrossFit podcasts.
Yeah.
I'm curious,
but I guess we'll find out soon enough.
Right.
Yeah.
I wanted to give a huge
shout out to our stats and info person,
Holly.
Yesterday,
we talked about what she found
with the double winners
through twenty five
different divisions for
weeks one and two.
And does that mean the
programming is to water
down if the same people are
winning weeks one and week two?
That got featured on the spin last night.
Um, her, her charts.
So super proud of her.
She's done an amazing job
with the stats and that she
found that and send it to
us and posted it on our stuff.
Uh, she's the best.
And so I wanted to give her
a shout out for that.
Nice.
Um,
the other thing that's happening is
CrossFit's up for sale.
Yeah.
And there's a lot of speculation.
There was speculation a couple weeks ago.
Susan did a show where he,
I've called it like the red
yarn and a neat push pins
in the cork board show.
Tied all these things together.
Now it's up for sale.
What intrigues me the most
about this is it is a private company.
They do not have shareholders.
There is no need to announce
that you're selling.
You could have done all this
behind the scenes and
you're not required to
announce any of it.
And last night I was sitting
there thinking, I wonder,
as we're going through NFL free agency,
a lot of times when a
player and a team come to
like a part in the
negotiations where they
can't come to an agreement,
the team will say,
we give you permission to
go seek a trade.
And you go out in the market
and see what you're worth.
And a lot of times the
player realizes their
asking price isn't what the
market would say it was.
And so they come back at that lower price.
I think this might be the exact opposite.
I think CrossFit got down
the road with Whoop,
and they're trying to lowball them.
And so now they're putting it out.
Hey, we're up for sale.
Did you say Whoop?
Whoop.
I did not say.
Oh, okay.
So it sounded like you said
something and then it, sorry,
it like sound on my end wasn't good.
So I think that they got a
low bid offer from whoever it is.
Oh,
now they're saying from the group and
now they're saying, Hey,
we're up for sale and we're
taking bids to see if they
can get that price driven back up.
Yeah.
Um,
and then I watched the spin just before
we got on air and I saw that, um,
that spin thought the same
thing to some degree so uh
and halpin said he just got
off the affiliate call
about twelve minutes long
yes got it this seems
exactly like that so wow I
didn't go to the talent
that I know that the town
hall was exactly when we
were on the air so we
wouldn't be able to jump in but um
But yeah, that,
that was my thought just
thinking about it.
Cause there's no need for
them to make this public
and there's no need for them to say, Hey,
we're taking bids.
And there's all this,
this circumstantial
evidence saying that
there's already a buyer
kind of interested in, in place.
That's what I think they, uh,
so I thought they were
trying to drive up the price.
Yeah.
It sounds like it.
What are,
do you have any overall thoughts
about the sale?
Not really.
I just want it to not be a
private equity company.
I want it to not be run by a board.
I want it to go back to a private owner.
Um,
that doesn't think that's in for the
longterm and not for the
short term profit.
Yeah.
I mean, of course,
cause we're also looking, I mean, well,
I'm looking at it more emotionally,
right.
Just because it's something I love,
but you know, that we'll see.
Um, yeah.
And then I've heard rumors that, well,
I don't even know if I
wanted to go down this path,
but I've heard rumors that
the WFP is actually
offering affiliates to what
they're putting together.
And if you didn't want to
stay with CrossFit,
you could go over to WFP
and join them for like a
two thousand dollar
affiliate fee as opposed to
a forty five hundred.
I have not seen that.
I have not heard that directly.
I've just heard rumors.
Okay.
This is the whole thing though.
But with an affiliate fee,
what you are getting,
you're not buying a franchise.
An affiliate fee is the
right to use the CrossFit name, the brand,
right?
And the brand is, is this methodology it's,
you know, so like,
so that does bother me
about world WFP because
that was not their word.
correct so that that gives
me if that's true I really
if it's true I've lost a
lot of respect for the wfp
they're falling in my in my
graces anyway because of
the the shit I'm dealing
with with the media passes
but um but if they do that
like I will lose a lot of
respect yeah and I have
been one of the bigger
supporters of hey let's see
it play out let's see what
they're putting together um
Yeah.
Well,
I'm going to wait to comment on that
until there's further information,
but that's my initial reaction.
I'm trying to look through
the comments here.
They're coming in pretty fast.
But I do know that I know it
was said in here.
I'm trying to find the name.
Chris, what's his last name?
uh, from two brain, uh, made a post.
It's supposed to be really good.
I've not had a chance to go
look at it yet.
Chris Cooper.
That's what it is.
Chris Cooper, uh, from two brain, uh,
who helps affiliates kind
of maximize their profits and all that.
Um, he put a post out, um,
that's supposed to be really cool, um,
with some things like that.
So yeah,
I'm going to go check that out
sometime this afternoon.
Yes, sir.
I saw that they had the
media pass application.
I actually have it up on my
other screen right now.
I'm going to apply via the application,
but the fact that they're
giving preferential
treatment to others and
giving them the link early
and not responding to any
of my emails is just very,
very upsetting.
Yeah, this is what concerns me too.
I'm a big Saxon fan,
and he is the head of
community development.
So that makes me wonder if
he's part of this affiliate community,
if it is in fact an
affiliate community that
they're trying to form.
So yeah, I wanted to make sure we hit,
at least touched on the news of the day,
because I know you've got
your daughter home and you
need to run to that.
And we've only got about
five minutes left.
How did your twenty five point two go?
Shitty.
Thanks for asking.
Next.
OK, I'll tell you about it.
First of all, it sucked.
First of all,
like just the lung metallic bleeding,
tasting.
fucking terrible.
Number two, this is my fault as an athlete,
but I'm going to give you
an explanation of why I
didn't do as well as I wanted to.
Okay.
I was doing Friday night lights.
Yeah.
I was set up across from
somebody who is a very tall athlete.
Um, and I have a very large kip.
And I was shortening my kip
on bar muscle ups so that I
wouldn't hit this athlete.
And when I was doing that,
I kept failing my bar muscle ups.
So now what I mean by that
is my fault because as an athlete,
I should have a better kip
so that that's not an
interference that would
create the problem, right?
So therefore I'm not as fit.
I am forty six years old.
I did, in twenty-two,
I got thirteen bar muscle-ups.
This time I got four bar muscle-ups.
So... Corey's gonna pick them.
I know.
Could I have redone it?
Yes, but for what purpose?
So I could get a few more bar muscle-ups.
I also,
after feeling that way on the
ground afterwards, I was like,
I don't want to feel that way again.
I don't like that feeling.
No thanks.
So...
I actually that workout
started with the second set of thrusters.
That's where you were like, this sucks.
Go ahead.
You drop an F bomb,
but you won't say balls.
I know.
Okay, I didn't realize I said that.
But um,
so I did better than but it it's
apples to oranges.
like I was in bad
conditioning at that point
um uh I I did foundations
in um and I I did upright
rows in the first round I
did jumping pull-ups in the
second and got to uh the
end of the second round and
then couldn't get any pull-ups after that
This year I did it scaled,
started with jumping pull-ups.
It was jumping chest-to-bar
actually to end last year
in twenty-two and I couldn't get any.
So this year I did scaled,
I did jumping pull-ups,
went into jumping chest-to-bar.
I got zero jumping
chest-to-bar in foundations.
I got all of the jumping
chest-to-bar this year.
nice I got the same number
but up a level sure and I
did it I got to the last
barbell or the rig movement
with a minute faster yeah
so I was really happy with
my progress I wanted to add
some sorry I just saw
corey's comment it made me
think of what I texted the
group yesterday about corey yeah
so I'll just I'll share it
here so I was corey I was
listening to the lunch with
clydesdale um and I heard
you say something I heard
you discussing your um here
was it I totally caught you
first refer to your wife as
your mother and then you
went back and you changed
that when you were talking
about um your vacations and
all that stuff planning and
I was like of course now
that's some freud right there so
just thought it was uh was
funny listening to that
like oh oh caught himself
yeah um hanging out with
corey on wednesdays has
become a blast um trying to
understand the cajun accent
I'm getting a little bit
better every week uh but
sometimes it rolls so fast
it just you know yeah you
sure did you said something
like well when I was
talking to my mother wife I i
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
So that's some Freudian slips right there.
Yeah, that's getting to be a fun one.
I actually, we, we have a, you know,
I try to do top five
Tuesday and have like a guest on.
And we,
I think we're going to do one with
Andrew Sten and Jeffrey Birchfield.
There are two judges in the
space and we're going to do
the top five hardest movements to judge.
And I just want to see what the,
if they come up with similar lists or
Um,
if it's different and what's the
difference between online,
like at an affiliate and, or,
or in a video and in person.
So I'd be curious for you
guys to talk about this
because I didn't know until
recently until I saw Jay
Birch post about the
advanced judges course.
And so I took the advanced
judges course because number one,
I need CEUs anyways.
But two, I was just curious.
I thought that one was the
advanced course was way
easier than the regular one.
Like, like to me,
I know what you guys were in here.
I wonder what their impressions were.
Totally curious because like
it seemed like I didn't
even like I could just be like looking,
you know, like, oh,
and answer the question.
So.
Yeah, I would be curious for that.
Yeah,
I didn't take any of the judges
courses this year.
Like I used to do it just to
keep kind of all my
credentials up because I have my one.
And if with all the judges course,
I could judge at different events.
But I am really I think like
I am done done of ever,
ever doing the judging event again.
Like I'll do like a local affiliate.
like go in hang out um and
if if my affiliate needed
judges for like semi for
the in-person semi I would
go do it to make sure that
I could help out but I
don't ever want to do a
comp again yeah um corey I
want to take the advanced
one just because I won't
have to take the regular
one for three years I
didn't even realize that
again I was just taking it
because I need ceus and
It was, I got four CEUs for it.
Uh,
Jaybird says the advanced was more what
you get an actual comp.
Okay.
Uh,
it was less about the movements and yes,
the testing was easier.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah, that's true.
I guess it was more so like
discussing like who's in
charge of what things on
the field and that kind of thing.
So yeah.
Okay.
I guess in that sense it was different,
but I just was like, um,
that the course overall was
seemed way easier.
and uh andrew needs to get
off his ass andrew I'm
curious how your level two
redo um was your course I
don't know but anyways
andrew is saying the three
years is unclear from what I've seen
saying he doesn't know if it
applies to both courses or
just the advanced got it so
yeah I kind of I kind of
want to take my level two
it's just such a big
expense since I'm not
coaching anymore yeah it is
I think there's an online I
mean isn't there like a
because you can take like
the level one online yeah
for a little bit less money so
uh l two went great love the
in-person evaluation of
coaching skills I don't I
yeah there's a test you can
fail all of them yeah now
some of them my first my
first l one was a lot
harder than my second l one
to much easier to fail the
first L one I took with Amy
here at rogue.
I felt like I was taking the SAT.
It did very much, um,
where I took it online in
twenty during COVID.
Um, that one was much easier to pass.
Um,
and at the time during COVID the online
was actually,
I don't know if it was
because I was renewing,
it was only seven or if it
was because it was online.
Yeah.
I thought it was less
because you weren't doing
anything in person, but I don't know.
Yeah.
Interesting.
I'll have to look into it.
Cause I do kind of like the
fact that I have that
credential and can judge at
like an affiliate for this
stuff if I wanted to.
Andrew says, Trish, not really.
You'd have to really suck, I think.
The L-II assessment is online,
so open notes.
But it's not a hundred percent easy.
You have thirty days to complete it.
So if you don't do it in thirty days,
then you fail.
Okay.
When I did my level two,
it was right there.
You had to take your test.
That was in two thousand nineteen.
And you had to wait a week
again to find out if you pass.
I wouldn't trust a coach who
had never done the L-I in person.
I'll tell you what the L one
taking the course online
was harder than taking the
L one in person because
it's all condensed.
Like all the movement stuff
is condensed into a very
short amount of time.
I was sore for days after the online L one,
the in-person L one is
spread out over two days
and it was much easier to
do the physical aspect of it.
Um,
And I would even say like
the academic part was
spread out more and much
easier on the brain than
the online was just like
sipping from a fire hose.
Like it was coming.
But I'm glad I did both
because I know what the differences are.
And if you're re-upping,
I think the online is
perfect because do you need
to sit through it all again?
um probably not especially
if you've been coaching at
all and we definitely know
the l-three you can
definitely fail I've known
people that have failed
that multiple times amy is
so freaked out about the
test she wouldn't even tell
people she was taking it
until she passed it it's facts
It's true.
I have anxiety problems,
especially with test taking.
Yeah.
And you did great on the L-I
when we did it live.
I don't know.
I just know I passed.
I don't know how I did.
Passing was great, right?
And you passed the L-III the first time.
I did.
So that's awesome.
Understand.
I think all coaches should
do the L two way better than the L one.
I need to study for the L
three failed it in January.
Yeah.
But the L two,
they say you should have
some coaching experience
before you come so that you, they,
you have a base knowledge.
Yeah.
I think you need some
experience under your belt
to know what you need to refine.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
how is the l three the same
as everything else it's you
have to pay it's basically
the same because you have
to pay two hundred fifty to
register and then well
maybe it's I think it's
slightly sorry two hundred
fifty to register and then
five hundred for your test
okay so then or or or maybe
it was vice versa I think
it was like seven fifty
slightly less right but
then I ended up paying more
than a thousand because I
took a bunch of courses
like anatomy, nutrition,
just to kind of work on
some of the things that
were gonna be on the test.
That's cool.
So like other CEU type
things you took to
supplement so that you had
a better shot at the test?
Yeah.
But here's the key that someone told me.
This is kind of a hack.
So Andrew,
listen up since you're studying.
So you are required to,
once you get your level three,
that you are required to do
so many CEUs to renew it in three years.
Like you only have three years for this,
okay?
So the hack is you take some
of these courses.
all the way up until like the final test.
So you don't actually
complete your course yet,
but yet you've taken it all
up and you've gotten most
of the information, right?
Then I did that with several courses.
So then after I completed my
level three and passed,
then I completed those
courses and now those CEUs
count towards that.
Yeah.
I mean, it's still legal.
Right?
I mean... Yeah,
it's flirting with the purpose for it,
but I get it.
Well,
I guess I don't see anything wrong
with it in the sense
because you're still using the knowledge.
I just wanted to wait until
I finally completed it so
at least those CEUs were
counting towards something.
Otherwise,
I'm just getting the information.
Why not have it used towards my...
Yeah, if you were, well,
the idea of a CEU is that
you're continuing your education,
so you're constantly
learning after the fact.
Should we cut this out?
Am I going to get it removed?
If you learned it all before
and then just finished it after,
you're not really
continuing your learning, but I get it.
Are they going to remove my level three?
I think this is the best analogy.
It's the uncommon movement clause.
No rep.
I don't think they're going
to remove anything, but no.
No.
By the letter of the law,
you're probably fine.
Okay.
By the, what did they say?
I am nervous now.
I have anxiety, guys.
That's on your side, regardless.
That's legit.
And Chelsea says, either way,
you're still learning.
Right.
Dave and Boz are both watching.
I'm sure.
I'm sure they're both tuned in every day.
Yeah.
See what we say on here.
Yeah.
Well, cool.
Well,
Again, three o'clock today,
twenty five point three will be released.
We'll see if it was a leak or not.
We'll talk about that
tomorrow on lunch with the Clydesdale.
Chuck Carswell just called.
You're in trouble.
I talked to him.
I love that dude.
I do, too.
He's one of my him and Boz
are two of my favorite
people I've ever worked with.
I'd love to hear him talk to.
um Boz was they were both
head judges of mine at
different events just
freaking awesome wait I
hold on video inbound let's
go let's go um Dave is
actually Trish burner account
Oh, man.
That's lucky.
Chuck did my first L-tier.
Yeah, that's real awesome.
Yeah,
that would be... I would pay extra
for that.
Oh, I love it.
You guys are making my day.
Anyway, this has been a blast.
So today you have the announcement.
Tomorrow we'll talk about it on the show.

the Clydesdale Media Roundtable.
Bye, guys.
