We cover the sport of CrossFit from all angles. We talk with athletes, coaches and celebrities that compete and surround in the sport of CrossFit at all levels. We also bring you Breaking News, Human Interest Stories and report on the Methodology of CrossFit. We also use the methodology to make ourselves the fittest we can be.
What's going on, everybody?
It's a Thursday and we are on remote.
And that's a technical term in Montana.
From the gym to the screen, yeah,
we cover it all.
Midday motivation every time you press
call.
Lunch with the Clydesdale.
Cowboy bring the heat.
Crossfit movies, music on repeat.
Half hour hustle, yeah,
we building that brand.
Grab a plate, tune in now,
you part of the fam.
It's lunchtime.
I ain't mad at that.
I feel like all my dancing to our
theme song is wasted on just me and
you.
I know.
Turns me on.
That's all that matters.
When we come into the show,
I'm just kind of like a limp biscuit.
And then I see Corey going to town
on the dance moves and boom,
I'm ready to do the show.
It's a great time, y'all.
It's a great time.
How's Montana?
Montana.
so the biggest thing is there's zero
percent humidity here oh and so the when
the temperature reads like and i'm going
okay cool no it's chilly it's chilling
with no humidity yeah that's how you're
like oh wait no this is this is
like if it's cold outside okay got it
yeah it's a different type thing no i
know what that i know what that's like
for sure so uh
So it's also dry.
Like I am drinking fluids like a mofo
this week because it is so dry.
I don't have a mute button anymore.
I have to like manually get up and
click it.
But my daughter took us to a restaurant
last night for dinner.
And mind you,
my time dinner was like nine thirty at
night.
So like I am barely hanging on after
being up since four thirty in the morning,
our time and heading out to the airport.
So we go to this place and she
wants to sit on the patio.
All good.
But I'm freezing.
I'm in this hoodie.
I am like cuddled up.
Food was delicious,
but we're sitting there having a nice
conversation and there's a family in front
of us and behind us,
there's like people just
this place serves drinks in like uh mason
jars but like there's a couple sizes you
can get it in the in the mini
mason jar or you can get it in
the like massive ones fifty five gallon
drum with a handle yeah yeah people behind
us are all consuming the big the big
jars right they're having a good time they
are having a blast the people in front
of us just a family we're sitting there
we're having a conversation all of a
sudden here
was like what was and i'm looking around
nobody's flinching nobody's doing anything
i'm like okay but the people behind us
are pretty loud so maybe maybe someone
scooted a chair right yeah i'm not
thinking much of it and uh and then
all of a sudden we're eating a little
bit more and i look i'm looking in
front of me and this this dude at
the table in front of me lifts a
cheek and it just
Just let it roll.
I was like,
is that what we do at a restaurant?
Is this how Montana gets down?
Megan, talk to us.
Talk to us.
What's going on with you people?
I don't understand.
She said sounds about right.
Holy smokes.
Holy smokes.
Okay, so I guess that's a thing.
And at that point,
my wife and daughter have completely lost
all control of themselves.
Oh, I would have too.
Because they are both partaking in mason
jars as well.
I'm sitting there with my diet Pepsi.
Trying to be that adult in the room
for once.
Jesus, man.
Megan comes in with a,
not where she's from.
Not where she's from.
Yeah, got it.
Just up here in the windy city.
Got it, got it.
or scott's at it's it's uh from the
pretty part it's perfectly normal to just
let it rip during i guess he figured
he was on the patio he's outside and
nobody would care is that do you think
maybe i wouldn't say it was packed but
it was like three quarters full patio sure
there's enough people there for to maybe
not just you know what i'm gonna do
I'm just going to let this rip right
here and see what happens.
You didn't even look around, dude.
It was just lift the cheek and let
it rip.
There was no pause.
There was no...
And then let it rip and didn't go,
oh, shit,
that was way louder than I expected.
Didn't even stop the conversation.
Just kept on rolling like that was normal
dinner.
Oh, goodness.
Nope,
not even going to check up at this
point.
No, there's not a High Rocks in town.
Because it did not splat out.
It just kind of... Thank goodness.
I can imagine Scott coming back on today
and be like, well,
we had to evacuate the restaurant last
night.
What happened?
Well,
somebody shit themselves at the table next
door.
It's kind of crazy.
Well, immediately,
that's what my daughter said.
I can't believe someone just shit
themselves beside us.
Well, it happens there, sweetheart.
I think Winter's got a point here.
My bad.
God darn it.
It's just shit.
Yeah, it's just shit happening.
I just got a point there.
If you lift a cheek,
you're looking for an audience.
Right.
That's what my grandpa did.
If he wanted to let you know,
he wanted to make sure everybody paid
attention,
he'd just go ahead and roll one over
to one side like that and let it
loose.
Hey, y'all heard that?
Did everybody hear that?
Y'all good?
All right, moving right along.
It's Montana.
There's shit everywhere.
Yeah, but they're usually in patties here.
Right.
It usually comes from animals that don't
generally use restrooms, as it turns out.
I told Scott yesterday they got there and
their room wasn't quite ready yet,
so they were just kind of hanging out
at a Mexican restaurant.
He should probably go pet a buffalo.
And he was like, no.
No, I don't think I'm doing that today.
I've seen them up close.
I don't need to get any closer.
I'm not going to try to pet one
at any point.
It might be that today, tomorrow,
or whatnot.
Oh, man.
First of all, Jeremy, it was not me.
Yeah, no.
It was not me.
And this man was older than I was,
right?
So when you get to,
I think he's just at the age where
he didn't give a shit.
Oh, he did.
Well, true.
Bad choice of words.
He didn't care.
He didn't care in the moment.
He probably gave a shit sometime later
that night.
That was just a preamble to it right
there is all that was.
Oh, man.
Don't pet the fluffy cows.
I'll keep that in mind, man.
Yeah, they're... Dude, there's...
They are so large.
And they are like...
They're so alien-looking.
Like,
they don't look like anything else in this
world.
Like, when you see one up close,
it is just crazy.
The first time I ever saw a picture,
not even of a buffalo,
but of a moose out in the wild,
and it was standing on the road next
to a car.
And I was like, oh, my God.
It's bigger than the car, and, like,
the horns just...
Keep going.
I don't understand how it makes it through
anything that it does.
Those things are absolutely enormous,
and I feel like it's the same thing
about a buffalo.
It doesn't look like it's from anywhere
around here.
And I don't mean anywhere around here
being anywhere around here.
I mean anywhere around on the planet
whatsoever.
When we drove my daughter out,
people were telling us,
don't drive at night because any of the
animals out here,
if they get into the road and you
hit them, you are dead.
Oh, yeah.
There's no coming back from that.
Right.
Ain't no coming back from that.
Oh, uh, Meg,
I will never have Rocky mountain oysters
as long as I know it.
Right.
Right.
That's one thing, but I'm not,
I'm not intentionally ordering.
No, that's not gonna happen.
Um,
So yeah, so speaking of shit,
there was an apology issued by Joanna,
a whole bunch of consonants in her name.
Yeah.
Joanna Wazowski.
Maybe that's, she's Wazowski.
Wazowski.
Wazowski.
White girl.
Let's just call it a white girl.
That's close enough.
So Vicky sent me that this morning,
and my immediate reaction was,
I don't care anymore.
For me,
an elite athlete is going to do elite
athlete things,
and that means it's not going to make
sense to normal people.
Right.
I just don't care.
Cause I just don't care.
Like I'm so over the whole,
the entire thing.
And I, first of all,
I don't feel like it was sincere because
here it is Thursday and all of a
sudden we got this, uh, apology.
Yeah.
I don't, I don't, I don't care.
I don't,
I don't need an apology from her to
me.
The,
the PR the people in the wrong were
the high rocks officials that didn't
remove her from the course.
I think it's both,
but I think absolutely it falls way more
on them than it does on her.
Because I can also concede it from the
elite athlete mindset.
She wanted to win.
She didn't give a shit about what else
was going on.
She didn't care about anybody else.
Right.
Well, she actually gave a lot of it.
And the fact that she didn't get pulled
off, immediately pulled off the course.
right within like three feet of it
happening.
Oh, you're shitting yourself.
Let's get you off of this course.
So this thing would get you cleaned up
and then you can go again later or
whatever, whatever they needed to do.
The fact that none of that happened.
And then,
and then high rocks did what they did,
which is basically said, yeah,
it sucks that it happened.
And we're going to put some rules in
place to make sure it doesn't happen
again.
And, uh,
but if anybody says anything about it,
we're going to make sure you never run
a high rock race because,
It's a wild take.
It made it to my, they were talking,
they briefly talked about it on the radio
show that I listened to on the way
to work in the morning.
So like morning radio DJs that have
absolutely no idea what any,
like High Rocks,
any of that kind of shit is,
they talked about it this morning because
apparently according to whatever financial
news that they had,
High Rocks is going to lose a couple
of million dollars over it, if not more.
So I'm with Tessa.
I really don't care.
I want to move on from this story.
But I do want to say this one
thing.
And here's, you know,
everybody's on the high rocks train and
it's going and it's going and it's going.
But this is the problem when you put
elite athletes and regular Joes on the
same course.
As part of it, for sure.
Right.
It is part of it for sure.
Cause when you're in a group of all
elite athletes, usually one,
you have your own lane and that's just
your lane.
Um, because stuff like this happens.
or at least has the capability of
happening like you said if it's just one
lane you can shut one lane down if
you need to right somebody p if one
of the girls pees themselves on a clean
or double owners or whatnot um in a
car you can shut that lane down get
it cleaned up for the next during the
next heat move people around like you need
to hey look you're not going to be
in this lane just now we're going to
move you down to the next lane and
then get it taken care of in that
time frame and then move right along
When you are pushing God only knows how
many people through an event the entire
weekend, ain't no shutting that lane down.
And what Hyrox is seeing is, hey,
the more people we can get into this
thing, the more money we make,
and the more money we make,
the more we can expand.
But at the same time,
you're combining two groups of people,
one subset that's really,
really good at this and are going to
push through things,
and another subset that are there to have
fun and to hang out with their friends.
And those aren't always going to mesh.
And I think that that's part of CrossFit's
problem.
We start the season with this open where
you're never going to appease both sides.
You can't.
Right?
You have the elite athletes going,
this is stupid.
Like,
why are we doing these simple workouts for
cardio?
Right?
And then you have the average Joe's going,
man, these are really hard.
I wish I could do more RX.
Right.
And both are right.
But it shouldn't be,
it has to be together for the CrossFit
methodology,
but it doesn't make sense from a logistic
standpoint.
Well,
I think that's why the first stage has
to be online.
That's the only way it makes sense from
any kind of logistics standpoint.
You can do it in your gym.
You know,
they lead athletes do it one time going
about their business.
The guys who are trying to get to
then maybe get to the next stage or
whatnot.
Oh, do it again.
Oh, I got to do it again.
I got to do it over or whatnot.
That's the only kind of way that makes
sense.
But no,
I'm one of those people who I am
somewhere in between this is really stupid
and why aren't we doing more for the
open?
And some of these are actually pretty
decent tests.
Probably because I'm old.
Yeah.
I want to get rid of all this
stuff that I hate talking about off the
top of the show and then get back
to the fun stuff.
So you and Vicky listened to Wayne O'Hara
talk yesterday.
I didn't know if we were going to
talk about that or not.
Let's go.
So Wayne O'Hara is the sixty five to
sixty nine year old athlete who tested
positive for PEDs at the games.
He was on the Legends and Masters podcast
yesterday or the day before.
We found it yesterday.
Shanna sent it to me.
and i this is this is my request
and i'll let you talk about what he
said because i don't give a i don't
i don't care enough to listen to it
after i got your version of it yeah
if you pop for peds i don't want
to hear from you i've heard every story
under the sun
I've watched sports.
This is the Kenneth DeLapp portion of the
it's just sports thing.
It's just sports.
I've seen hundreds of NFL players.
I've seen hundreds of Major League
Baseball players.
I've seen cyclists.
I've seen and none of their stories add
up at the end.
You all sound stupid when it's over.
Just shut the hell up.
I don't want to go off and do
your own thing and just shut up.
Because I'm over it.
I am so over the PED thing.
You got busted.
Go in your corner for four years and
leave us alone.
I thought it was a bold choice to
begin with that they pulled him and
brought him on the podcast and he decided
to go.
Like both things together in and of itself
was a wild choice for me.
And the only reason I saw it is
because I saw Shanna had commented.
They had their Instagram, I guess,
had put up that this thing was up
and Shanna had commented on it.
And that's how I saw it.
And so I went and looked and I
asked her yesterday, I said,
did you listen to it?
And she said, yeah, I did.
And I was like,
is it worth listening to?
And she said, basically, she was like,
it's all the same kind of excuses.
Depends on, I said,
how mad am I going to get on
a scale of I don't care to like
ten?
And she said, I'm at a five.
And I was like, okay, cool.
Let's go check it out.
So I went and listened to it and
he's an idiot.
don't know a better way to put it
i wish i could be nicer about it
i really do but after listening to it
it's the same type of excuses just wrapped
in a different package that he just kept
going on and on about he talks himself
in circles from time to from time to
time depending on what it is um the
i don't i didn't know that blows my
mind yes you did yes you did
Why?
Because you're not an idiot, right?
Nobody's that stupid.
Nobody who's in any kind of sport is
stupid enough to think that, oh, well,
my doctor gave it to me,
so surely it should be fine.
Then he thought because of the,
what is it, the TUE,
the therapy use exemption,
that he could go get and submit for
that and that it would wipe it away,
right?
And that he could go in,
and even the guys that were interviewing
him were like, no, that's not an excuse.
Like, you can't,
you can't react retroactively,
go back and be like, oh, well, no,
I had it for therapeutic use.
He said on the thing that in the
same almost sentence,
or in the same couple of, yeah,
He said in almost the same sentence that
his testosterone went from like a three
fifty to a nine fifty.
OK,
which I don't know if you all know
or not,
the pretty big swing when we're talking
about testosterone.
But he didn't really feel any different
while he was training.
Like,
I didn't really feel you didn't feel any
different.
Then why were you taking it?
Hold on.
It gets better.
It gets better.
So not only did he not really feel
any different,
then he goes on to say later on
that, well, I mean,
the heart is a major muscle and you
know, if your testosterone is going down,
it means your muscles are not working
correctly.
So, I mean,
you could be taking testosterone for heart
problems.
to which Shanna said, yeah, that's what,
that's what,
that's what got Shannon like fired up to
begin with.
He also said,
That he was going to, just recently,
and I don't know when they actually
interviewed him, but, I mean,
we listened to it yesterday, right?
That is a lot of monsters.
Big breath on oysters.
He also said that he basically just
stopped taking it.
Which means he's been on it the entire
time right from whenever he started on it
all the way through the games all the
way through to just here recently.
He's gonna start stop taking it because
he's going to experiment on himself and
see if see if it affects him any
differently,
but it could be dangerous because.
what if I have a heart attack?
And I was like,
the entirety of it put together.
I just, I, my,
I'm not left speechless often.
Like I did laugh at a whole lot
of it.
Cause I was like, that's just silly.
It really, really is.
Um, but it,
a lot of it just blew my mind
completely.
Like,
I can't believe this dude's actually
saying this kind of stuff.
Yeah, here we go.
He has hypogandism,
which is low testosterone.
He says it's a medical condition.
Well,
his type of hemogandism is what happens.
Hypogonadism.
Hypogonadism.
Yeah.
I've got to get the bifocals in the
right spot.
There we go.
And it happens in old age in men.
Oh, maybe I have hypogandism.
Whatever.
Gonadism.
Hypogonadism.
Yeah.
Okay.
what gets me is that he's saying that
right he's also sixty seven years old
right he's training every day and like i
love it because he's like i mean i
quit drinking and i i started you know
eating all that stuff and i just figured
that's that's what was doing it because
like surely the testosterone i was taking
wasn't making any differences
So, yeah,
the whole thing was absolutely absurd.
If anyone wants to listen to it,
it's an interesting interview to listen
to.
Those guys usually do a pretty good job.
If you care about the matches or athletes
at all,
that's the only people that they
interview.
It's on iTunes.
Go listen to it.
It's about thirty five minutes long.
Doesn't take a whole lot.
It's not, you don't have to watch it,
Meredith.
It's all, it's all audio.
They don't,
it's not a video thing at all.
Or at least I didn't see,
I didn't find it.
I don't think they have a YouTube.
Which blows my mind today because it
doesn't cost anything to have a YouTube
channel.
No, you can literally just.
And if you're only on audio,
like you are not trying to,
for anybody to see what you have on.
Right.
Yep.
Mark Phillips nailed it in Legends Masters
Podcasts.
yeah jenny i'll send it to you after
the show but again like everything you
told me from the interview i was like
i've heard all of that in every other
sport i watch and i'm just i just
i don't what i don't understand or i
say don't understand what i don't get
I'll never be able to fathom, I guess,
is the I didn't know excuse.
Because yes, you did.
Yeah, you did.
Of course you did.
Of course you did.
Like nobody in their right mind thinks
that I'm going to go get on testosterone.
At sixty seven years old,
I'm going to go get on test,
you know, TRT,
testosterone replacement treatment theory,
whatever it is.
And that's not going to,
it's going to be perfectly fine.
Surely.
Oh,
I couldn't find it in the rule book
where it says not to do it.
It was too hard to find.
So I figured it must be okay.
Jenny,
I'd love to put it in the chat.
I'm in a hotel with one screen and
Vicky is not here to do anything behind
the scenes.
So we are,
we're kind of running one legged today.
Like I said, the whole thing,
we'll get it to you.
Yeah, I'm a sponsor.
So the last big CrossFit thing I wanted
to talk about is Amy Kringle did an
interview with the Telegraph Women's
Sports Channel thingy magazine.
I don't know what it is these days.
Oh,
the Telegraph is a UK newspaper or news
outlet.
Apparently they have a subsidiary subs.
I can't talk today.
A part of them that is women's sports.
Got it.
And she has a quote in there that
was just.
I just found like this is the thing
we needed from someone who needs to go
up against Tia next season.
Okay.
And this is her quote.
I still get nervous.
I still have weaknesses and I still have
things I want to get better at.
And I thought, damn,
that's the right perspective.
Yeah.
I won this thing,
but I'm not satisfied with winning that
thing.
There's a whole bunch I want to get
better at.
I mean, hard facts.
And as analyzing her performance at the
games,
many of the analysts in the space said
she showed she didn't have much in the
form of weakness because every time you
thought people could make a move,
she slammed the door.
Yeah.
Every time they knew, oh, well,
this one's probably got a good chance or
not.
And she was like, mm-mm.
Slammed the door on one of them,
knocked him down,
whatever you want to call it.
Like,
took care of it in the best way
possible.
I thought it was...
And if you haven't seen the Tia Teer
documentary.
I have not yet.
I haven't had time.
Her mindset,
like it's worth it just to see how
her mind thinks.
And it's no wonder she is where she
is today as the goat of CrossFit.
I did like the soundbite that I heard
the other day where she said that, yeah,
I probably am a little arrogant right now.
And.
Yeah.
But you, you've earned it.
Yeah.
It's one thing to be arrogant and just
be an asshole to everybody for no good
reason, because you're relatively fit,
right?
Talk about our space.
You're pretty fit.
You know, you're a games athlete,
whatever.
It's another thing to be arrogant because
you've won.
Forty seven titles.
Not even in a row.
Most of them were in a row.
And then you took a year off and
you came back and you won again.
And you took a year off and you
came back and won again.
Like,
Yeah,
she has the right to be kind of...
There's a piece in there where Shane
describes the mindset thing as sitting at
the CrossFit dinner table.
And everybody at that dinner table gets
excited if they beat her in one event.
At one event, yep.
Right.
And she hates losing any event.
And that's the difference.
If you're satisfied with one victory over
Tia...
then you're not prepared to win in a
competition with her.
No,
I think that's like a natural extension
of,
I just remember rich phone and saying that
as much as he likes winning,
he hates losing way more than he loves
winning.
And it's the same kind of thing, right?
Like, yeah, he likes to win,
but she wants to win everything.
Like not just in,
she gets mad if she loses.
It's the same kind of thing, right?
You'd hate to have that champion's
mindset.
Like I don't much as I like to
win, I hate losing worse,
which is gonna make me work harder.
keep those processes in place to where I'm
not going to have any kind of weaknesses.
I'm not going to have any kind of
holes.
I'm not going to have anybody be able
to come sneak up on me and just
take an event out from underneath me that
I should win.
Here's the difference.
Rich would forego a single workout and not
win it if it meant he was more
ready to win the overall event.
He was very cerebral in that way where
Tia doesn't want to lose a single
that's why that's why i said i think
it's it's a natural extension of that
right like rich said yeah i hate losing
t is like i hate losing all anything
it doesn't matter what it is right like
you don't want to i don't want to
play you know a game of battle with
her with freaking cards because she's
going to end up throwing the cards across
the room if she loses right right none
of it like rock paper scissors no i
ain't playing with you
know how she's going to react if i
accidentally win so i wanted to i i
wanted to get your thoughts as a again
living in louisiana your son goes to lsu
i'm watching get up this morning it was
announced late last night that sam levitt
the starting quarterback for lsu is
doubtful for saturday night's game
You sent me a reel saying he's going
to pop up out of the stage and
be ready to go.
So there's a college expert on GetUp named
Paul Feinbaum.
He is known for stirring the pot.
He does not like Lane Kiffin.
I'm prefacing all this.
And his comment was,
you can never trust Lane Kiffin.
And if Sam Levitt shows up and plays
that way that day,
we can no longer trust him at all
because it's gamesmanship.
It is gamesmanship.
It's absolutely gamesmanship.
For those not sports fans,
LSU is going to play Ole Miss this
weekend in Ole Miss,
and that is where Lane Kiffin coached last
year.
And he left them right before their
playoff run
And so there is a lot of hate
and venom coming across the boards back
and forth.
And so.
To put it in perspective,
when Kiffin was at Tennessee and left and
went back to Tennessee,
the Tennessee fans threw shit at him while
he was on the field.
As soon as he got on the field,
there was stuff falling from the stands.
We were expecting that again this week.
He's a polarizing figure.
He basically does what he wants to do.
He's also a winner.
He knows how to, right?
He's a damn good coach.
Call it what you want.
And I say,
I think most LSU fans understand that
you're probably not going to be here
forever, right?
And we're okay with that because we're
winning right now.
We won two games.
Whether that's great, not great, whatever.
And it looks good.
Having said all of that,
I don't think he's fooling anybody with,
oh, yeah, no,
Levitt's probably not going to play this
weekend.
But at some point,
you're planting some sort of seed of doubt
somewhere just by saying that he is
potentially not going to watch.
It is going to be must-see TV.
You can absolutely believe that.
doing his best triple H impersonation and
bringing the WWE to college football.
Yeah, absolutely.
All of those clips and that thing I
sent you, I was laughing hysterically at,
uh, it's, it's the, it's the old man,
um, outside the cars,
call it an ambulance,
but not for me type deal.
Like what Sam Leavitt, uh,
I would be beyond shocked if he wasn't
on the field tomorrow night.
Like,
above and beyond shocked if he wouldn't be
on the field tomorrow night.
I do think, like I said,
you're going to plant a seed of doubt.
Here's the thing.
The other little quarterback that we got
that got to play against La Tech the
other night,
looks and plays just like Sam Levitt.
He's not Sam Levitt.
But he's he was doing the same type
of things like he always said, you know,
he's dropped he's looking he's got nothing
on a look pool take off takes off
running.
Right?
He's not dropping.
He's not checking down.
He's not doing any that kind of shit.
So
I feel like Kiffin's having fun with the
tools that are afforded to him.
And the tools that are afforded to him
right now is him going out and saying,
oh, yeah,
my starting quarterback is going to make
it out tonight.
Sorry, guys.
Well,
I guess we'll have to wait and see.
It's going to be a game-time decision.
No, it won't.
The other story I wanted to bring up,
and we don't need to dwell on this
long,
but I don't know if you saw this,
but the Big Ten announced that
Two weeks ago,
that thing that happened in Michigan that
everybody was upset about, yeah,
that was messed up.
That was mishandled,
and Michigan shouldn't have got the extra
second.
Two weeks later.
Why now?
Two weeks later.
Have it moved on from that?
And now you've just been – can you
imagine being Western Michigan and going,
are you kidding me?
Two weeks after the fact,
you say that we should have won the
game?
And then the last caveat,
but the NCAA doesn't have the authority to
override the decision on who won the game.
Then who does?
If the governing body of college sports
does not have the authority,
then I would love to know who actually
does.
So apparently it doesn't matter how bad
you mess up the calls in the game,
the final score stands regardless.
Welcome to being a Saints fan.
Yeah.
And then the last thing I had on
my list is,
I don't know if you saw this,
because I know F-one isn't super popular
in the U.S., but last week,
Lando Norris finished third.
Should have won.
We talked about that on NBA Sports a
little bit.
after the match they have a cool down
room the podium winners go into a cool
down room where they just sit kind of
hang out waiting to go out to the
podium and generally they have a camera in
there and you can hear them like kind
of recapping the race from their
perspective yeah lando picks up a coke and
starts drinking it and he is being yelled
at that you cannot drink coke in the
cool down room because they're not a
sponsor
of F one and Landon goes,
I just finished a two hour race in
the blazing heat.
If I want to drink a Coke,
I'm drinking a Coke.
I'm a grownup and it's caused this big
stir.
Like,
did he have the right to drink a
Coke?
Are we to a place in this world
where the sponsorship dollars are so
insane?
that a man can't have the beverage of
his choice after a race.
Okay, so let me ask you this.
If they're that worried about it,
where did he get the coke from in
the first place?
His team probably had him in the back.
I get that,
but if they're in that little room,
locked off from everybody,
waiting to come out for the podium
celebration,
Did he bring it in there with him?
Did he not stop him before he went
in there?
You know what I'm saying?
That's so incredibly stupid.
Where did he get it from?
One of his major sponsors is Monster
Energy Drinks.
Do you know who's a twenty percent
shareholder in Monster Energy Drinks?
Yes, I do.
Yes, I do.
I've been Coca-Cola for quite some time.
They bought them or whatever,
bought a part of them a long time
ago.
A long time ago.
Pocket Coke next to the Pocket Jerky.
I don't think Pocket Coke is the same
thing as Pocket Jerky there, Ramirez.
Yeah.
Pocket Coke would probably get you
arrested.
I'm just saying.
Oh,
look at Joey Perez knocking it out the
park, a Coke smuggling ring.
You must have got it from the Penn
State fraternities.
Is that the coke they've been dealing?
The one that's got cola written after it,
the one that used to have cocaine in
it way back in the teens and twenties,
whenever they first started making it.
Oh, my Lord.
Lando Norris,
part of a coke smuggling ring,
got him in trouble with the F-One people.
Yes, indeed.
I like that a whole lot.
Speaking of Coca-Cola,
I lived in Tallahassee for four years.
Just north of the town is a place
called Valdosta, Georgia.
Valdosta, Georgia.
And it might even be... Anyway,
I think it's a smaller town than even
that, outside of Valdosta.
But that's where Coke was founded.
Yep.
And the per capita income of that town...
is like in the millions because they are
all shareholders.
Yeah, because Coke was founded there.
I had a hand in it when it
first came out.
And those shares have been handed down
from generation to generation.
Boys and girls is what you call
generational wealth right there in
Valdosta, Georgia, of all places.
Come on, man.
You know what they call that there.
That's old money.
That's old money.
And people have been having money since
Jesus was a baby.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's, that's actually unsurprising.
There's a lot of places like that, man.
Um, there's people down here as much as,
you know, Louisiana gets shit on from,
you know, poor state and the union, blah,
blah, blah.
It's like,
I know people that could buy your house
with a hundred dollar bills though.
Like don't, don't, don't play with us.
Hey,
you've got to be higher than Mississippi,
right?
That's an excellent question.
And we just lost every listener from
Mississippi.
My bad.
It's fine.
Both of them.
Mark Phillips,
the coolest dude in the chat is gifting
five Clydesdale media memberships.
We appreciate you so much, dude.
Thank you for that.
It doesn't go unnoticed.
Trust me.
No, he does that quite often,
as a matter of fact.
Jeremy, your dad's from where?
From Valdosta, Georgia?
How the hell did y'all end up in
frickin' Wisconsin, of all places?
It doesn't seem like those two things add
up, my brother.
Coke money.
Yup.
Yup.
Your Clydesdale membership paid for by the
Pennsylvania State University
oh good night that is good stuff right
there i don't give a damn who you
are yeah man it's either old money or
new money and it it makes a huge
difference yeah if you are old money you
only hang out with old money people and
only trust old money people
it's probably only actually old people at
that point even if you're young right if
you inherit your old money you're probably
still just talking to old people at that
point i just it's been my experience as
far as that goes and down here old
money people
And for the most part,
if you saw them on the street,
you would not have a clue because they're
not walking around with ten thousand
dollar handbags and rolling around in,
I don't know, name a fancy suit.
They're probably in freaking jogging pants
and slippers for the most part because
they don't advertise.
It's wild how that works.
Speaking of that,
I saw a clip the other day of
a podcast Rob Gronkowski was on.
And again, he was asked,
is it true that you have not spent
a single dollar of your NFL money?
And he said,
it's made a big deal of,
and essentially that is correct.
He said,
I was a second round draft pick.
I signed a contract with two million
guaranteed.
And I figured, listen,
the way I grew up,
I didn't have anything.
And it wouldn't take a lot to make
me feel like I had a lot.
Having an apartment felt like a lot to
me at that point in time.
And so I socked it all away and
I figured these car dealerships need
spokespeople.
I went down to the car dealership,
I got sponsorship deals and that's how I
lived.
just local sponsors,
and he has still to this day not
touched the NFL money.
Everything he has is sponsorships or other
media gigs he's been – He can probably
live off the interest at this point.
I mean, quite honestly,
like he's been in the league it feels
like forever, right?
So that money sitting in there,
just sitting in the bank,
just –
compounding interest as it goes.
I mean,
it's the right way to look at it.
It's just so counterintuitive to what we
see.
Well,
I feel like it goes one of two
ways in the NFL.
It's either guys like Gronk who like never
had anything and are cool with feeling
like, man, you know,
I'm living in a nineteen hundred square
foot house now.
I was in a shack before.
This is amazing.
And there's rolling with that.
And the guys who also never had anything
and like now I need to buy all
the things forever for the rest of my
life.
And run themselves broke that thirty four
thirty the broke About the NFL and then
everybody like just spending all their
money is one of the most It's some
it's simultaneously funny and powerful all
at the same time because you see these
guys like make these gazillion dollar
contracts and it ain't got a pot to
piss in or window to throw out throw
it out of and
uh and then like because of them now
the nfl has like financial literacy
programs for when you when you're a rookie
so that they tell you hey uh probably
don't spend all your money on cooker on
cookers on hookers and coke probably not a
great idea just go ahead and throw that
out there the new term for a co-core
is cookers cookers you're welcome
Things have never been my desire.
I believe that he actually said that.
Are you quoting him, Tessa?
He may have said that.
Marshawn Lynch did the same thing.
He wakes up laughing.
Dude, that...
It still boggles my mind that that dude
who showed up at press conferences to say,
I'm only here so I don't get fined
because you don't want to speak to the
media,
has become the biggest star of the media
after his retirement.
Love that dude.
Love that dude.
He's actually a decent actor.
I mean,
he just plays himself for all intents and
purposes,
but like the couple of movies I've seen
him in,
he's been hilarious in like the whole,
the I'm just here.
So I won't get fine.
The amount of self-control it took for him
to just,
they would ask him a question and then
that's what he would say.
And he would ask him,
they would ask him another question and he
would just look back and be like,
I'm just here.
So I don't get fine.
Yeah.
The amount of self-control that took to do
that for as long as that actually took
is mind-boggling to me because I could
probably start off like that,
but I don't know if I could maintain
that the entire way through.
It just keeps saying it.
It just keeps saying it.
The awkwardness would become palpable,
and could you – And could you just
hold on to it no matter what?
Yeah.
Jeremy asks,
think they're doing that in college now
with the NIL money?
No.
No.
I highly doubt it because there's no
governance.
There's no rules.
There's no limits.
Bryce Underwood, twelve million dollars.
There you go.
You're sucking and you're still in college
and he's still got twelve million dollars
or however much it is now.
I highly doubt that that came with a,
hey,
let's probably not use your money for
this, this and this.
And let's probably put your money here,
there and there.
Terry says,
my son stayed in the same apartments as
the FSU football team.
The parking garage had most the NIL money
from the team.
Well, yeah, you're giving
millions of dollars,
what do you think the first thing they're
going to do is they have no idea
what to do with it.
So instead of maybe not, you know,
maybe I, maybe I get fine, you know,
I don't know, financial advisor and Hey,
what should I do with this?
They just,
I'm going to head to the dealership.
Don't buy me a Lexus or, you know,
Cadillac, whatever.
I don't know if you saw Jay Williams'
piece.
He's a basketball analyst on ESPN.
He was a first-round draft pick of the
Bulls, played at Duke.
He said,
we all had NIL money back then.
It just wasn't legal.
It just wasn't legal.
Coach O, bro.
Coach O said it.
He said,
the only thing that's different now is we
bring it in through the front door instead
of the back door.
So...
And Duke's one of those schools that
you're like, well,
they're better than everybody else.
They're probably not doing – no.
Everybody's doing it.
All doing it.
Everybody's doing it.
The same thing when they –
when they got the Saints for Bounty Gate.
You think every NFL team's not saying,
hey, man.
Dude, the Buddy Ryan teams,
the Eagles and the Bears,
they were applauded for putting bounties
on people.
Yeah.
Banana's crazy, dude.
David Reed doing some math.
A five million dollar NIL deal is a
salary of two hundred thousand dollars a
year,
while the principal will still grow almost
two hundred K in the first year.
Two hundred K in college is a lot.
Doug, two hundred K at any given point.
It's a pretty good chunk of change there,
my brother.
Yeah.
Just throwing that out there.
Just throwing that out there.
I know up there in that mansion you
have an Ostrander.
You know,
maybe two hundred grand doesn't get you
much, but.
Right.
How much does it cost to send your
children to Ohio State?
Good night.
That ain't cheap.
oh i feel like he's got to be
getting scholarship money right oh yeah
he's a really good diver like yeah i
would if not good lord man they're wasting
uh what is what they were even doing
up there because i mean the kid knows
what he's doing i've seen videos yeah yeah
he's he he's good my sister was a
diver for years what i've seen on tape
is pretty pretty amazing
Two hundred grand is a lot of pizza
in old Milwaukee.
That's a lot of pizza in old Milwaukee.
Or Bush, the beast, baby.
You can get a whole lot of that.
You have that pizza here in thirty minutes
or less.
Got a good tip for you.
Two hundred K a year.
Oh, my God.
I'll just let that breathe a little bit.
OSU out of state.
fifty thousand dollars but now you live in
Ostrander that's in state when does that
convert over what point does that convert
over is that tell me that's for the
year and not for a semester please I
need to know I really need to know
like how much is a college education worth
dude I don't know anymore
I know what we're paying for Brody to
go to LSU right here,
third demands from the house,
and it's not cheap.
I don't think it is anyway,
considering I know what I paid to go
to Nichols my first semester over there,
my first two semesters over there,
to be living in Ohio.
You have to be living in Ohio one
year to get in-state.
Penn State of I think I think Meg
saying college education isn't worth that
much.
It's really not.
Duke is like ninety seven K.
Google says out of state for four years
is around two hundred thirty five to two
hundred fifty five thousand dollars.
that in perspective we built our house in
like we moved in in twenty twenty and
my home cost two hundred and eighty five
thousand dollars my house like the place I
live yep there's no way dude there's no
way yeah we bought our house for two
hundred and eight thousand yeah
and it's now worth double that but oh
yeah no mine is like oh every once
in a while jennifer will go to look
like houses in the neighborhood that are
going up for sale that are similar to
ours and she tells me how much they
are and i'm like yeah i can believe
it and because it just it just keeps
going up and up and up it's ridiculous
Yeah,
but the fact that college educations are
what a house costs.
I know what my house note is,
you know what I'm saying, a month.
And I just can't, you know,
no wonder college kids are graduating and
talking about they can't survive.
Well, yeah,
you just spent four thousand dollars on a
degree,
on a piece of paper from a thing.
You got no experience.
No, you can't probably move it anywhere.
That's bananas, dude.
Trent says,
not worth it considering I'm still paying.
Trent, I'm still paying.
And I'm a whole lot older than you.
Oh, I bet.
I bet.
Jennifer's getting her master's degree
right now from UL.
But the only reason she's actually doing
it, I say the only reason,
the main reason she's doing it is because
her work's paying for it.
Right.
We pay as long as she keeps her
GPA at whatever it needs to be.
They reimburse her for it,
but that is bananas crazy, dude.
I have a niece who did her four-year
on gymnastics scholarship,
then grad school for four years,
hired with sign-on bonus that paid for the
grad school loans, entire education free.
Nice.
Tessa,
that's the American dream right there.
Yeah,
my cousin is a couple years younger than
me,
graduated from LSU with a petrochemical
engineering degree.
And the company had hired him, hired him,
bought him a house in Houston for him
to live in when he first started working
over there, moved him,
all that kind of stuff,
and set him up to where part of
his stuff was going to pay whatever
because he didn't have it.
He had academic scholarships.
but was going to pay whatever he had
left over from from school like off all
right out the gate absolutely insane it's
awesome for him all right well that didn't
end on the high note i was hoping
for oh that's usually how that goes start
talking about stuff like that dude that's
reality unfortunately it's absolutely
bananas crazy
Uh,
that's an excellent question from Andrew
Sten.
I would love to know the answer to
this.
Do those athletes that get a huge idea
still get scholarships?
And so they should be forced to pay
their own tuition,
let scholarships go to those who actually
need them.
That's a fantastic question.
I would love to know that.
uh meg says have fun uh make sure
you get some huckleberries so i know my
daughter got us some kind of huckleberry
something and it's for a birthday party we
have to go to tonight for one of
her friends um i was gonna ask you
what's on uh what's on the uh agenda
there so apparently you're you're
attending a twenty something's birthday
party i am that ought to be super
fun
You said the quiet part out loud.
I thought it'd be super, super awesome.
So some of our really good friends were
like the young couple,
both with really nice high paying jobs,
didn't have kids and whatnot.
And you know what it means?
Like friends without kids be like,
y'all want to go to Africa on Friday?
They actually went to Africa.
Like one,
it seemed random to us because they didn't
necessarily, you know, not like, Oh,
we're going to Africa in three weeks or
whatnot.
You know, all of a sudden it's like,
Oh yeah, no, we hadn't,
we're going to Africa.
We're going on safaris.
Like, Oh yeah.
I'm really going to Africa.
I was like, yeah, no, check it out.
I was like, okay, here we go.
And like, you know, forty nine,
they're probably in their early thirties
right now, early mid thirties,
something like that.
It just always, always blew my mind.
I was like, man,
I don't I've always had kids.
I had my first one real, real young.
She grew up.
Then I got Brody.
Now I got Jameson.
It's never been a let's drop everything
and just go on safari this weekend.
I feel like a lot of young people
that don't have kids can do shit like
that.
Anytime I've ever had to hang around a
whole bunch of young ones,
especially here lately,
I feel like
I feel like that old boy that drank
out of the wrong chalice at the end
of Indiana Jones in the last crusade,
when he drank out the wrong one and
just immediately aged like a billion
years.
I feel like that dude pretty much anytime
I'm around a bunch of twenty year olds.
So that should be awesome for you.
Yeah, because I have chosen poorly.
Oh, my Lord.
Are there any other parents going to be
at this birthday party?
Probably not.
No, but I'm here to see my kid.
If that's, I have to see my kid.
It's just,
but going to a twenties somethings
birthday party where I have quit drinking.
Yeah.
Pull it up.
Cause if not, I will.
What the man mom's family reunion.
Is it as fun as your mom's family
reunion?
I don't know.
I have not experienced it yet.
Tune in tomorrow and you'll find out if
I'm sat next to a racist...
Yeah.
Whatever.
Like I was at my mom's family reunion.
It's going to be so good.
Anybody who starts a conversation with I'm
not a racist.
Oh, this ought to be fun.
How about those Muslims?
Yeah.
How about those Muslims?
What about Muslims?
Jesus Christ, man.
Hold on.
Meg's trying to give me some advice.
Uh, Wilcoxon's ice cream.
Find this brand and ice cream sandwiches.
Okay.
All right.
I'll tell you that.
And then we got to go.
But yeah,
I the richness in the food that I
had yesterday after eating really,
really healthy for a long time.
Dude, I was up all night.
Yeah.
Mind boggling what it does.
Right.
And you know what I need?
I need Thursday.
I need Thursday to get a good night's
sleep, settle my stomach.
Got two flavors to choose from.
We got some strawberry lemonade,
got some chocolate.
You can get that at thursday.com backslash
Jazzy or use promo code Jazzy at checkout.
Get fifteen percent off your order.
It's the best sleep and recovery tool in
the business.
Make sure you get that.
But yeah.
And it's not even close.
Trey Olive,
he needs to do a pre-tape show on
off days.
Yesterday afternoon was rough with no
show.
If I'd have had somebody to come on,
I could have came on and just talked
about God only knows what yesterday,
but I'm not coming on by myself.
I'm not ready for a solo show.
Here's the thing.
If I had notes,
if I had something to actually talk about,
that'd be one thing,
but I'm not just coming on here like
I normally do,
which is flying by the seat of my
pants and reacting whatever Scott's got
laid out for us.
insane yeah so behind the scenes stuff
just so you guys know cory comes with
a big long list of notes of what
we're going to talk about in a day
super long super long super long yeah big
show rundown of what he has planned to
talk about it looks a lot like this
this is pretty much what it looks like
right here my uh my um
Listen,
my rundowns from Corey are he'll send me
reels throughout the day,
throughout tonight and throughout tomorrow
morning.
And that's what I'm guessing he wants to
talk about somewhat.
If I find either funny or interesting.
And at the time I'm like, Ooh,
we could probably talk about this
tomorrow.
The problem is,
is that until you remind me that I
sent that to you,
I usually forget about it.
It's usually how that goes.
I'm like, Oh,
this is absolutely hilarious.
Scott would love this.
We should probably talk about this today,
tomorrow, whatever.
And I'll send it and then I'll go
continue living life and forget completely
that I did that or whatnot.
So when you say it like, Oh,
you sent me that thing of, uh,
about what's his face like popping up out
of the thing and I'm like oh yeah
I did do that yeah that was pretty
funny
Are we going to talk?
Oh, all right.
Cool.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like today when I said that you would
listen to the podcast and you almost spit
out your C four.
Because I was, I, here's the thing, dude,
I listened to that yesterday.
Me and Shannon had a long conversation
about it.
Just about how insane we thought it was.
Right.
The entire thing.
And her being a doctor,
like she's coming in from that
perspective.
I'm coming at it from the athlete
perspective.
She's also coming at it from the athlete
perspective.
Right.
she was saying that like and she's
probably gonna kill me for saying this but
like when they after she uh took second
or whatever whatever year whatever she
took the podium her first year there right
at the games and they brought him back
for drug testing and she sat there and
she's like the enormity of all that was
just kind of hitting her and she was
just sitting there kind of crying and one
of the other girls that was there was
asked was act like
are you going to,
are you crying because you're going to
pop?
And she's like, no,
I'm just quite the opposite.
I'm crying because I've worked so hard to
get here.
It's all paid off and I'm,
I can go,
I can pee in whatever cup they want
to, they want me to pee in.
Like, it really doesn't matter.
Like the enormity of that hit her.
Right.
So we were talking about that yesterday
and I just, I can't,
Cannot put the two thing I can't reconcile
the two things in my head where somebody's
gonna go I'm gonna use this stuff because
my doctor said it was okay,
and I probably need it and and somehow
think that it's okay to do in sport
like it's the they just don't go together
dude,
like if you pay attention to anything in
pop culture the past fifty years and
You know you can't do that.
Nope.
Anyway.
Let's go before I get another rant.
All right, guys.
Have a great rest of your day.
We'll be back tomorrow for lunch with the
Clydesdale and Cowboy.
It's really like a late breakfast brunch
for me, but we'll do it this week.
With that, guys,
have a great rest of your day.
We'll see you soon.
You wouldn't wait to get to the editing
room to jazz me up.
I'm already jazzy.
Midday motivation every time you press
call.
Lunch with the Glidesdale,
Calvary in the heat.
CrossFit, movies, music, home repeat.
Half-hour hustle, yeah,
we're building that brand.
Grab a plate, shoot it.
