what's going on everybody
welcome to the gladstone
media round table my name
is scott she's kat she's
coming full bangs this week
and we're starting fifteen
minutes early because we
got meetings and we got
stuff we have to do we are
busy yeah so how are you
doing I'm good how are you
good christmas tree still
up I think it's gonna stay
up I have nowhere else to put it so
Might as well just leave it up.
That's the storage facility.
I think,
I think I might just make it like a,
like a holiday tree and I'll get little,
maybe, you know,
little red bows for
Valentine's day and little
pink bows for Easter.
And I'll just make it a year round tree.
Same morning to James.
What's going on?
Yeah.
The last, Hey Jody, what's going on?
Uh, again, I mentioned it yesterday, man,
being a caretaker is a lot of work.
I am so tired.
Um, just before we came down here, um, uh,
to do this,
she had to go to the bathroom
and that is not like a five
minute process.
And she gave me like seven
minutes to get it done and
to get down the stairs and
launch the show.
Um,
And, uh, yeah.
And we had to get her in a
machine cause she's going
to PT for the first time, uh,
this afternoon at two o'clock.
So she's in the machine that
moves her knee back and forth.
Loosen her up.
Yeah.
Jody.
I didn't just cut bangs.
I cut bangs a while ago,
but I've been hiding them
from everyone because they
are not necessarily a fan favorite, um,
in my life.
So, uh, we're dealing with them.
luckily my hair grows like a weed.
And, um,
if I wanted to make it look like I
didn't have bangs by like next week,
I could probably pull that off too.
So we'll see.
It's also very dark.
I don't know if you caught that, but, um,
it's a lot darker than it was.
So we're getting used to it.
Judy says, cute.
You're brave.
Yeah.
I've always been a pretty
adventurous with my hair.
People that have known me for.
Twenty, thirty years, um, have seen.
a wide variety of hairstyles
and hair colors.
So,
so I've known you for five and I've
seen a lot.
Yeah.
I can't imagine.
You never saw like the
blonde pixie cut or the
full on red or anything like that.
So yeah, you've,
you have seen a lot and
it's one of the things that
I know a lot of people remember me by.
I know people that I used to
work with at Chase, you know,
they'd be like, what colors are here now?
like is it long or short so
yeah this is the color god
gave me so I feel like it
should be you know the most
flattering on me but it's
just so uh so different
than what I'm used to that
it's uh it scares me
sometimes I still don't
recognize myself in the
mirror when I look at
myself I'm like who's that
so I'll make a comment at
risk of whatever but so
when I when I first saw the
bangs on tick tock
like I was taken aback
because you do very
different with them than
you do without but the more
I see you with them the
more it actually looks
really good thank you I
think it depends on what
you do with your hair too
because like I can put this
up here and have this down
and that looks very
different that just took
ten years off of you right
that looks much better and
then if I take it all the
way up and put it in like a
like a ponytail or a bun
same thing it just
creates like a whole
different look so I think
that's what I like about it
and I can take these and
like clip them up and it
looks like I'm normal like
I never had a haircut so
yeah all that that's how I
like about them they're
versatile what what is the
workout style well if I was
working out um they're my
t-one um but I usually just
wear my hair down when I'm
working on anyway so
there's really not like I'm
not wearing headbands or anything um
Yeah.
Like yesterday I worked out
and I just put it up in a bun,
left the bangs down.
But sometimes when I get sick of them,
if I, I'll just take these two,
I have these like two
little clips and I just
clip them like this and
then whatever happens to
the rest of it happens.
Yeah.
Jody with a show.
Yeah.
We need to rate CrossFitters hairdos.
Oh, that would be good.
Let's do it next week.
Yeah.
Let's do like a top five and
a bottom five.
Yeah.
We'll dig through Instagram
and show pictures.
And so that,
that'll be our show idea for next week.
Boys and girls.
Yep.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
Cause like cons had at least
seven different hairdos
since I've known them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then you got some people
that are just steady Eddie
the whole time too, but yeah,
that would be cool.
I would like that.
Let's do it.
You got some interesting ones too.
Like how many different
haircuts has Noah had?
You know,
he tried the dreadlocks for a minute.
He had the long haired Noah.
You have the short haired Noah.
How many,
how many haircuts has Dave Castro had?
Very good point.
Right.
We got some material here.
Yeah.
Now that we're workshopping this.
Good idea.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I'm,
I'm like two weeks away from going
to get highlights again,
just so everybody knows,
like I'm still not,
like sold on the color
either because I am going
gray at my roots here and
with the bangs down you
can't see it but when I put
them up you can see and
that's the whole reason why
I was going lighter before
in the first place so just
to think about being a girl
so if you have gray hair
and your hair grows like a
wheat does the gray grow just as fast
It does,
but I'm just not consistently gray
everywhere.
I have like five strands of gray hair,
like through here.
And then I just have a bunch
like at my hairline,
like as this starts to grow out,
I'll just get like a little
bit here and like a little bit there.
So it's enough that you notice it,
but it's not like, I mean, I,
I've embraced the full gray, the white,
whatever, like I'm okay with that,
but sorry to fix.
But it's just like these
like random spots that don't look great.
And they are very, like,
I think it's very aging.
It's not very youthful.
Yeah.
I go grayer as I go down.
Oh yeah.
Like the beard fully.
And,
and then I have like the Jonah Jameson
from Spider-Man,
the guy who owns a newspaper,
like really gray in here,
but like the tops, not so much.
Yeah.
I think I like gray hair on men.
I think it's, I don't think,
I don't think it ages them
and I don't think it makes
them look any less attractive at all.
Um, even in, in facial hair,
like I'm totally cool with that.
But I think for women, it's just,
I don't know.
It's different.
It's my own opinion, I guess.
Yeah.
I've totally embraced it.
I just,
I actually tried to grow the beard
out again, but it's been,
it's been like a year of
like semi consistently shaving it.
And it was, it,
it was to that point where
it was digging into the skin,
like curling back in.
And, um,
and if you don't beard oil it like
regularly, like it's,
it's just not even possible.
And my skin is more sensitive now.
Cause I have not had a beard for a year.
Have you ever grown a goatee?
I have.
What does goatee Scott look like?
Do you look, I was,
I was goatee Scott for probably,
probably ten or fifteen years.
When I was really, really heavy,
like the five and a pound Scott,
I thought that thinned out my face.
Okay.
Let's be honest.
It did not.
Bring the goatee back.
It's been a minute.
It's been, gosh,
it's probably been ten years.
Here's the more important question.
How does Julie feel about the goatee?
I don't think she really
cares about facial hair.
She likes whatever I do.
She does not like Fu Manchu, Scott.
I've done that just out of a joke,
like shaved again.
She does not like that at all.
Especially when I come down
with the Hulk Hogan.
Come on, brother.
And the Fu Manchu coming down.
Yeah, not a big fan.
Guess who's prioritizing protein?
And there you go.
That stuff's good.
Their core power that's even
like double the protein.
It's so expensive, but it is so tasty.
I take this and a scoop of
fat-free pudding mix or
sugar-free pudding mix in a blender.
And then I stick it in a
mason jar and I put it in
the refrigerator for a few hours.
And it's like protein pudding.
And I'll put blueberries and cashews,
maybe some chocolate chips or just plain.
Um, and it's absolutely delicious.
And if you get the white
chocolate jello mix,
sugar-free jello mix with the chocolate.
So good.
My favorite tip if you want, you know,
cause I like ice cream and
this is sort of an,
it's an alternative to ice
cream night protein pudding.
Yeah, we, we bought a Ninja creamy.
Oh, you did.
yeah is it amazing it it
took me a minute to like
refine the recipe but now
that we have it it's really
good um you just have to
kind of because once you
make it it has to freeze
for before you can put it
in the machine oh so yeah I
don't have patience for
that ahead of like what
flavors you want and what
you want to do but I got to
where like my base is
really good and I can just
add stuff to it cool um
But it's, yeah.
And it comes out like not totally hard,
like a hard ice cream.
So it's like a little bit of
a mix between soft serve and hard.
Like a gelato.
Sure.
Sure.
It's really creamy.
And when I do the mix at the end,
I do add a little milk.
So it's probably me doing it that way.
But I actually prefer it better that way.
Okay.
Yeah, I would love to try it.
I think Braden had one at
the house at one point in
time and then he broke it.
So never got to use it.
Yeah.
I, I,
I want to try like a peanut butter swirl,
but you should not put
peanut butter in the creamy.
It can damage the machine.
That's a bummer.
That's probably what he did.
So you,
they tell you to put like PB two in
it or something like that
to get the flavor,
like gumming up the machine.
Okay.
But I did want to PSA real quick.
If you weren't watching Savan this morning,
they have been pretty much
talking about the LA
wildfires all day today.
And there is a GoFundMe
campaign out there for the
CrossFit gyms in LA that
are suffering damage.
One of them just celebrated
their twenty year
anniversary and everything.
So it's CrossFit LA and Oak Park.
um it's a gofundme campaign
and I did put the link in
the description below if
you want to go do that like
a dollar five dollars
whatever you can um can
manage to donate I'm sure
they would appreciate
anything you could give to
that because if you have
not seen the footage from
la it is it is gosh scary as hell
It really is.
And I just don't, yeah.
What is going on?
This new year has just been wackadoodle.
my understanding is the
winds are really strong out
there right now and so one
little spark gets like
shoved to another location
and boom then we have
another start but what what
really like took my breath
away was the hollywood
hills are hit right now and
they they showed on I think
cnn or one of those should
I can't remember which one
but it was an overlay of a
map so the fire's
Berlin up here on the Hill
and right at the base of
the Hills Hollywood Avenue
like it is that close to
like downtown Hollywood um
I I just I don't know how
they're going to get under
control because they don't
have enough water in LA for
this um yeah and it's it's just sad
It's really sad.
Yeah.
Again,
there's a link to the GoFundMe in
the description below.
Make sure you click on that
and do that if you are so inclined.
So on to brighter news.
I talked about this
yesterday because I am so excited.
The Masters and Queens
CrossFit Games are coming to Columbus.
Yeah.
I I said yesterday that I
thought it would be at the
columbus convention center
based on the layout they
had in birmingham
convention center like uh
and andrew stenn kind of
confirmed that in the chat
yesterday um and he's close
with those legends folks so
um I will take him at his word uh but
What I love about it is,
and not just for me because I live here,
but because I think it's a
great town to come visit.
And we actually do have,
in that area where the
convention center is,
a ton of restaurants.
Oh, yeah.
That's where the Arnold was, right?
Yes.
And an international airport
where you're not struggling
like Madison to find a
flight that's affordable to
get in and out of.
And we have tons of
different airlines you can pick from.
Yeah.
So I've always thought that
Columbus would be a great
place for the games games.
But if we have to start with
masters and teens, let's do that.
and they're going to be
going on at the same time, right?
Like same weekend.
Cause then you don't,
I passed over a little bit yesterday,
but we've been,
we've been begging for that, right?
Why not have the fans of
both the teens and the
masters all wanting to
watch the same event at the same time?
Yeah.
And I mean,
you don't dilute your judging
population and all that either.
You know, you get everybody in one place.
It's going to be a,
I think a huge benefit to
everybody that's really
cool yeah so and I don't
know if like they had three
floors in in birmingham for
the masters games and
everybody kind of rotated
around uh during the day so
what I liked about that was
and I didn't think I would
but if you're tired of seeing
the standard being done over
here and you want to see the deadlift run,
you can kind of change up
your workout day by going
from Florida or if you're
there and not having to
watch everything at once.
Let me just clear this up, Judy.
That's my work computer.
My laptop is literally
sitting right in front of
my three monitors for my work computer.
So you're hearing a meeting requests and,
teams messages and all that
kind of stuff in the background.
I don't have a doorbell.
So you are not a Columbus native.
No.
You've been here for the Arnold.
You've been here for rogue.
Yes.
Thoughts as an outsider.
I mean, the,
the setup for Arnold was great.
I mean,
Braden and I stayed sort of closer
to the university.
So we weren't in, we didn't stay in town,
but it was an easy drive.
There's plenty of like, even,
in the surrounding areas,
if you don't want to be in downtown,
there's, you know,
resources and Walmarts and, you know,
grocery stores and whatever
else you would need when you're here.
But the downtown was so cool.
Yeah.
Super quaint,
lots of cute little restaurants.
I mean, you know,
we had to sit at the bar one night to,
you know,
just to eat because we didn't
make reservations or
anything like that because
we weren't really sure what was going on,
but yeah, it was, it was great.
Cute little town.
I loved it.
Yeah.
You're right.
Like South of the, of the short North,
which is a kind of a bougie
little area where there's a
ton of like quaint little restaurants,
mom and pops.
Um,
there's lots of bars and clubs if
you're into that thing.
And then a couple blocks West is, uh,
the North market.
So it's like a big open
market with a lot of places
to eat or like,
and it's nice like like
knoxville like downtown
knoxville yeah yeah but
different like this is like
what I would picture I've
never been there but like
seattle's uh pike market is
that what it's called or
okay where it's just like
there's a like a polish
stand and then a jewish
deli and then there's um an
ice cream shop there's hot
chicken takeover there's
It's just,
you go around in like a... So
dry in my house right now.
You go around in a square
and it's just a restaurant
after restaurant after restaurant.
Or like a cheese shop or a
sweet shop or...
And it's an old warehouse
that they turned into this
quaint little place.
As long as they have ice cream.
Yeah.
Lots of ice cream in Columbus.
Good.
I'll be good.
So super excited about that.
And hopefully we can do
another documentary this year.
And maybe I'll have more
people on cameras to get even more angles,
more perspectives, more topics.
Yeah, that'll be great.
You'll have to get more media passes too.
Yeah.
Bigger team.
That'd be great.
Yeah, I'm excited about it.
I'm excited for you guys.
I'm excited for Charlie and Amy,
like the three of you will
be like right there.
I think that'll be super cool.
And maybe Corey and Charlie
get to meet face to face.
Yeah, maybe.
Well, it's weird.
You said Corey and I have
this like of asking my
daughter to come with her
photography skills.
Yeah.
I heard that getting like
candid shots during the
event that we could add
into the documentary.
Yeah, that would be cool.
But, uh,
yeah what is she what is she
typically is she doing more
like fashion photography or
what's her sort of
specialty I have this
little itch in my throat
but um yeah fashion
photography right now she's
doing a lot of headshots
modeling okay so like
sports and action would be
maybe something new for her
to explore and investigate
that would be cool
she's done some in her past.
Um,
she got a media pass to cover the blue
jackets hockey team here in town once.
And she was around CrossFit a lot,
but we'll see.
We'll see.
I've asked her to do other
things in the past and she's declined.
Um, I was going to ask you, um, the,
the master's athlete that
passed away from cancer, Will Powell, um,
I don't know if, did you know him?
Had you interviewed him?
I've never interviewed him.
Of course I knew, I knew of him.
Of him, right.
Was he at the games this past?
He was not.
So he, he competed in the open,
but he was.
Oh, that's right.
No, this year and didn't make games.
But he's,
he's fought cancer a few times in
his career.
Yeah.
And sounds like held off on treatment to,
to compete.
Yeah.
Based, based on what I've read.
So he was really like giving
it the middle finger.
when I first got addicted to CrossFit,
like he was,
he was the grand poobah of
the master's division.
Like everybody knew who he was.
And I think when they first
went to Madison and first
did that swim thing,
he actually almost drowned in Madison.
Like one of the competitors
had to stop and pull him to
safety and they both got disqualified.
Okay.
I had heard about that story.
I didn't realize that was him.
Yeah,
that's probably the lowest light of
his career.
Right.
Because he won like five times.
But yeah,
he always did fine in the ocean
swims in California because
of the saltwater.
And less buoyant,
that freshwater in Madison
did not do him well.
Yeah, I bet not.
But he passed away...
earlier this week from cancer,
and he'd been fighting it
off and on for probably the
last seven years, maybe.
And actually went to the
games after the initial
diagnosis a couple times.
Yeah, yeah.
So, quite the fighter.
And from all accounts,
like one of the nicest men
you'll ever meet.
Just a really nice guy.
Can you hear that in the background or no?
No.
Okay.
The trash trucks are here
and they're dumping and
they're taking like eight,
ten shakes of the dumpster
into the back of the truck.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I hate that.
The last thing I have from
CrossFit World is...
And I know, like,
Carolyn has some really
strong opinions on this,
so I'll let her go off on this on Sunday.
But CrossFit added the
NorCal Classic as an in-person semifinal.
All I'm going to say about it is,
you know...
I've talked about the wfp
and everybody being
negative about it and that
it the one thing it does is
it gives us a linear season
where if someone asks us
what is it it's really easy
to say tour event one year
earn points tour event two
year earn points the top
thirty point getters go to
the finals to find out
who's the best in the world
right super straightforward right
crossfit in its infinite
wisdom as they do every
year after they've
announced nine events have
now a month later and added
a tenth which now changes
the equation of like how
many people get in online
how many people get in in person um and
the less and less people
that can get in online,
like that changes that
equation and whether people
can think they can go for
that or do they need to
start signing up for these other events?
And some of these other
qualifiers are happening this month.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I'm so confused by all the
ins and outs is do we have
a rule book yet?
Exactly.
That's all we can say.
Yeah, we don't have a rule book.
And the fact that someone
could qualify to go to the
CrossFit Games and not
attend an in-person event
prior to the CrossFit Games
is freaking crazy to me.
How?
We're not in COVID.
It's not the online semifinal like we did.
I don't understand it.
Well,
it happened in the past with the open
straight to the games in
that nineteen whacked out season.
Top twenty in the open got
an automatic bid.
Oh, in twenty twenty nineteen, you mean?
Yeah.
With the with the national
champions and all that.
Yep.
Crazy.
I don't get it.
Yeah.
I mean,
let's look at the semifinals when
you get like a handful of
athletes to the semifinals
that have no business being here.
Yeah.
Cause everything was online up to that.
There's no way to like
double check everything.
And you get five to ten
athletes at the bottom of
the pile that can't even do
some of the movements.
Right.
Now you're sending them
directly to the CrossFit games.
And they're going to take
the place of someone who
might have gotten third or
fourth in one of these
in-person semifinals who
clearly deserves to go to the games.
Yeah.
I don't, I mean,
Again, I'm trying to stay positive.
I know things change and I
don't want to shit all over it,
but it's frustrating.
And yesterday on Coffee Pods and Wads,
Peter responded to my reel
that was out there about
everybody being negative about the WFP.
I just want to quickly say.
And they said, well,
we're negative about everything.
We're critical of everything.
We do.
There's a difference in
being critical and there's
a difference in being negative.
Critical is taking facts
that are established and
saying that this is not the
way it's going to work.
Negative is saying things like, well,
if the WFP holds an event
and CrossFit holds an event
and the WFP has their
top-twenty athletes plus
the challengers and CrossFit has no names,
CrossFit will still outdraw the WFP.
Yeah, you don't know that.
You don't know that.
It hasn't happened yet.
Right.
It's you just being negative
about that sport in that moment.
It's not factual.
And it's okay to have that opinion,
but it's a negative opinion
about the WFP.
Yeah, and we're very critical of CrossFit,
but we've had twelve,
thirteen years of the
CrossFit Games to warrant
the criticalness of our commentary,
right?
In fact, we haven't had anything.
We haven't had anything.
Right.
We don't have any experience.
It's based on experience.
Right.
And we don't have experience
with this one.
So, yeah,
I totally understand the nuance there.
And the example they used
last night was the syndicate crown.
The syndicate crown hadn't
drawn that well the couple
of years before that.
What makes you think that
now that they're competing with the WFP,
all of a sudden their
numbers are going to go up?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Now,
maybe they're talking streaming numbers.
I don't know.
But it just, that's all I'm saying.
And they're entitled to their opinion.
They can, if they want to think negative,
they can think negative.
I just,
I'm the naive guy that wants to
think positive and hope
that it has a shot.
Well, and you're keeping an open mind,
right?
I mean, believe me,
if something happens with
the WFP that we don't agree
with or that we think sucks,
we're going to talk about it.
Right.
But hopefully we have facts to back it.
Well, that's what I mean.
Like when, if,
and when something were to happen,
we will, we, it's not like we're going to,
we're not trying to elevate it to some,
you know, not putting it on a pedestal.
And I will admit that the,
that spin knows more about
what's going on behind the
scenes than I ever,
like that guy digs and he
has so many contacts.
He may know more about
what's going on than we do
and just can't say it.
And maybe that's what's
causing it to happen.
Um,
entitled to say whatever he wants to say.
Um, but I have,
I have the platform to rebut that.
So there it is.
Yes.
We are the masters of our own words.
We can say whatever we want.
Well,
I know we were pulling right up
against your twelve thirty deadline.
Yeah.
So short show today.
Uh,
but we'll be back tomorrow with lunch
with the Clydesdale.
Um,
Go Penn State tonight against Notre Dame.
Hopefully we're in the
national championship when
I speak to you tomorrow.
Other than that,
thank you for joining us
and we'll see you next time.
Peace out.
See ya.
