what's going on everybody it's lunchtime lunch with the Clydesdale today we're cooking it up some cajun so how y'all are not bad my brother not bad it is graduation week at uh the learning residence so We had a band-based graduation or eighth-grade graduation or actual senior graduation? Senior, yes, sir. So last night was the – well, actually, let's back that up a little bit even further. So Sunday was Brody's girlfriend's graduation party this past Sunday. Last night was the band banquet.
Tonight is just awards, like senior awards in general, and then graduation itself is – Friday. And then Sunday's Mother's Day. This is your second graduation of a child? Yep. I had to go through it once, man. Well, it's interesting. It's interesting. He's a good kid. He's a great kid. Got a couple awards last night. Missed out on one. I feel like he deserves... just for all the work he's done over the past four years of being in the band.
But he is getting ready to get started being a college student. And where's he heading? LSU. Come on, dude. Go Tigers. It wasn't even a question for him. He enjoyed messing with my wife because he got – Once you start getting close, especially if you're in an organization like the band, you start getting letters from all over the place. He would get stuff from Northern Illinois State or whatever. He'd be telling Jennifer, it's where I'm going right here. She's like, no, you're not.
Answer Meredith's question. No, he's not going to USL. Excuse me, ULL or USL whenever I was there or whenever I was in college. No, well, he's trying. So the golden band from Tiger Land is not exactly like you don't just walk on. There is an application process, tryouts, I guess you could say. And it goes over the course of a couple of different months or whatever. But he is one hundred percent going to give it his best shot. Try it out.
he said even if not even if he doesn't make it he's gonna try to get into like there's percussion groups and stuff like that like at lsu and uh just be able to keep working on his craft and try again next year so yeah my daughter um she played in band all through high school went to ohio university which is not the buckeyes it's the actual first ohio university in the state and uh they they have what's called the marching one ten that do a lot of things yesterday um and she was
gonna try out and then realize the commitment um during college and decided that her dream was to be a photographer not to be a saxophone player and so she uh she decided not to to make that commitment brody enjoys it um and I mean all his friends are in the band like know for the past four years our lives have revolved around him marching playing at football games marching season and then when they started doing concert band and then I mean last year they played at carnegie
hall for christ sake with a symphonic band which was amazing um he just the golden man tiger land is a big deal at tiger stadium uh so it would be you know it would be awesome for him to do I mean he's not going to be saying he's not going to be you know growing up to be a drummer by any stretch of the imagination um he's getting the college of business as a matter of fact yeah as far removed from a musician as possible but gotta have dreams gotta have stuff to work towards so uh speaking
about my daughter I talked to her last night she started a new job a week ago and last night she was uh shooting bees with a camera in both video and photography fashion. She works for, sells beekeeper equipment as one of their items.
And so she went out and they were introducing bees to a new comb yeah and she videoed the process um and took pictures of the process to reintroduce bees to a new comb um and that's going to be out on their website soon okay and I was like that's really cool that is cool yeah so um super proud of her uh jody asked lunchtime how was your fast yesterday scotter did I miss the show no show yesterday um My wife had surgery yesterday and there's people asking about it in the chat,
Meredith and Jay Burch and everyone. So I want to say that it went great. We were at the hospital at five a.m. So the four a.m. wake up call drove her to it's actually a surgery center, not a hospital, which was way nicer than the hospital we did last time. And we were home by eleven thirty. So I could have done the show, but I was exhausted. Flat out exhausted. The surgery went so well.
All the PT she did on the first leg has paid off on the second leg because her new leg from January is strong now. And so she's able to push off. The only thing she can't get up on her own from is the bed. Everything else she can get up on her own. So I just have to help her out of the bed at night and in the morning. And when she lays down to elevate everything. Yeah, she's doing great. She's already moving around faster than before.
Today, the nerve block was supposed to be done, but she's still doing pretty good. I tried to stay ahead on the pain meds yesterday so that when the nerve block let loose today, she would still be. Yeah, quite so bad. Yeah. But she's doing awesome. I'm betting she's back upstairs in a week. That's amazing. Yeah. Yeah. Just because of how strong the new leg is from all the PT she's done. And you know, when they PT, they just like in CrossFit, you do, you stay balanced, right?
So you do PT on the new leg, but they were doing the old trashed leg too. So when they did the surgery, that leg is stronger taking the new let the new knee now. Amazing. But just like, like Rihanna, she's titanium now. So, um, And she likes to remind me that, that she is full of titanium. Does that say she's got two titanium? Let me ask you something. All bullshit aside, going through the airport metal detector. She has a card. Really? She has to carry a card.
I don't know enough people that have shit like that. Really? Yeah. I don't think it matters in the new version where you have to do the... But if you go through a metal detector, you have to... In New Orleans, once you actually get to the security place or whatever, they'll pull some people aside and just hit them with the wand and you can just go on through. Generally speaking, because there's only one security area, there's a whole lot of people there. That's why I was wondering.
I was like, if she got hit with a wand, if that, if that team's going to go off, I guess it will. It's metal. It makes sense. Yeah. She, there's a medical card she'll carry that it says she has metal parts. Yeah. That's awesome. Yeah. But I'm glad she's moving around, dude. That's amazing. Good shit. Yeah. She's killing it, man.
It's, weird thing is my doubt my dog gets squirrely whenever this happens so like he requires more assistance than normal but yeah yeah no more mris for her yep that would be pretty awful for that magnet to rip that right out of there I don't think about that that sounds terrible if you listen you go you can watch what she had done online just say total knee replacement yeah it is archaic how they do it they like to say cut it open it's not laparoscopic they cut it open cut it open no
she's cut from probably two inches above the knee to a lot more below the knee uh probably four or five inches below and uh and it's all stapled up uh we take the bandages off tomorrow and then we redress it and unless it's done leaking if it's done leaking then she's we just give it open air but uh yep um Ken Walters, always the man of interesting facts. My wife had the first robotic knee surgery as a trial ten years ago. She was back to her job in forty eight hours.
Local local news did a before, during and after filming it. I'm assuming it was like not the total replacement surgery, though. His total replacement, they like they cut the bone.
then and attach the then the metal to the existing part of the bone and some of the video you see like a hammer just hammer and chill just beating on it goodness so I'm just reading birch's car happens to me every time I wear these sweats usually that I have metal keepers on the waistband strings I always get wanded I used to always get the pat down. So when I went from like five hundred pounds to two, whatever, I had all this like extra skin.
And every time I'd go through the detector, I'd get pulled aside and get the pat down. Well, you carried underneath there. Nothing I wasn't born with. One time I got pulled into the back room.
get out of here yeah it was never had that it sucked man and then I told my wife that um antonio and I are now married um yeah sorry uh he did things to me that we haven't done in years it's amazing how that works um seeing I get I don't do that I got wanted, but it was, and like trying to figure out what I had on me. Like I don't think it was in my pockets. I don't know what it's picking up. And there's no part of me that's metal. So I don't know what that is.
But then last year I was flying, actually flying the MFC last fall. And I took, I thought I had taken everything out of my bag that would have set it off. Like the metal types of my backpack. But at the time I still had my snips and, that I kept in there if I need to change my rope on my jump rope. And so like, I'm sitting there waiting for my bag and I see him pull it off to the side and I'm going, what the shit is that? Like, what's going on? Not thinking at all. Lady's looking through it.
She's going through every single pocket trying to figure out where it's at because it's a big bear complex bag. It's got eight hundred pockets on it. And she finally, she pulls out the rope, my jump rope that I thought I had taken out Cause I wasn't going to need it. And I was like, ah, that's my jump rope. Sorry. And then she pulled out the snips and she goes, well, what is this? And I said, that's actually a tool tool to actually work on the jump rope that I, yeah, exactly. Exactly.
Bomb making equipment. And then with the, if you look at it, cause it's all called up every time I pick it up. Right. So you look at that through a fricking X-raying like, yeah, it looks like I'm fixing to do some dumb shit. Yeah. She put them back in my bag and sent me on my way. The rope and the cutters. I said, yeah, that's the tool. If the rope breaks, I need it to cut the cable and put anyone on. And she just kind of giggled.
She's like, I put it back in the bag, zipped it back up for me, handed me my bag and went on down to the terminal. Back in the day, man, I always had blender bottles in my bag for protein shakes, for whatever I was doing at the time, right? And those spring balls said that they didn't know what to do when that first happened. I mean, I got my bag pulled all the time for those spring balls in the blender bottles. It's as non-dangerous as you could possibly imagine, right? Yeah. All right, man.
So I want to get your opinion on this. Yesterday I was at the surgery center pulling up my Instagram and I see this and I know other people are talking about it now. Corey told me before we went live, but I have not been on anything CrossFit in twenty four hours. So I don't know what people have said, but I think this is it here. Yeah. Matt Torres sent an open letter to CrossFit athletes who competed in the online semifinal event. Starts off great.
And listen, Matt's one of the best coaches in the business. His athletes are so successful. So successful. But this past weekend, you put it all on the line, your hopes, your dreams, months of relentless work, all condensed into five challenging workouts. When it was over, the questions started creeping in. Was it enough? Should I have trained differently? Did I execute the right strategy? Am I good enough?
Then just when you thought the hard part was over, now comes public scrutiny, the noise from those who don't understand the fans that became critics, but also cheer when you win and swiftly turn on you on it for a cheap laugh or a moment of attention. CrossFit tried to create a system of public judging that is supposed to be helpful, but instead it's become a playground for people to behind keyboards and mics.
Those people are quick to criticize with zero accountability and say that it's the best of the sport. But here's the truth. You guys get so effortlessly judged and you keep showing up. You're taking the mental and emotional beating and you're still... you still walk back into work to get better. You don't get to hide behind a screen or a microphone. You stand in the fire exposed and real. Here's what I know. You don't owe those voices a single second of your energy.
Lean on the people who are truly in your corner, the ones who have seen the tears after the toughest days, the ones who've pushed you to get back up and when you wanted to quit, the ones who tell you the hard truth because they believe in you. This sport isn't just about who is the fittest. It's about showing up when it's hard, when it hurts, and when things don't go your way. You accomplished a lot this weekend. Hold your head high. The work continues. Matt Torres.
So, first of all, Masters athletes already went through this process, right? And they didn't have the comment section, so it was real freewheeling on the Masters side. It was the straight-up Wild West, dude. What I want to say is, if you want to be a professional athlete, you are going to be judged. When I watch a Chicago Bears game, and my number one wide receiver drops the ball in the end zone, damn well I'm going to be bitching at him through the TV. I might say something on Twitter.
I might say something on Instagram about how poorly that guy played. You... in eighty million bears fans right it happens in hockey it happens in baseball it happens in tennis it happens in golf how many meltdowns have you seen on the eighteenth hole of a golf tournament and then that person is on sports center for a week Scott, I am a huge soccer fan. Huge, huge soccer fan. They will make up a song and sing a song about you to you while you're still on the field if you do some dumb stuff.
I've seen it happen. When did professional athletes become so soft? Social media. Period. He knows that there's a real easy solution. Turn it off. Or be Justin or be Matt and keep a file of everything that was said about you. Make it be the fire that makes you better. I understand. Before social media, Michael Jordan used to make up stories in his head about somebody that said something about him or about his mama or about whatever was going on in the meantime. That's a thing that happened.
Yeah. To try to, to try to generate something like to make an emotional response, to make him better on the field, on the court. Excuse me. The fact of the matter is there are standards that are being implemented At least take into the line, if not trying to get over the line, to be as competitive as you can be. And if you're going to waver on that line, then you've got to be willing to take the criticism when you don't meet the standard. Every time.
It just... I saw this yesterday and it just pissed me off. That's what sports is about. That's why these other sports are popular because people talk about them all week long. If an NFL team screws up, listen, the Bears screwed up a lot last year. The botched Hail Mary, the blocked extra or field goal, all the stuff that they messed up, that got talked about for seven days afterwards. But that's why the sport's popular.
That's why there's eighteen shows on the Chicago Bears, plus ESPN, plus Fox Sports. They're still talking about Seattle not running the ball. And that was, what, six, seven years ago? Yeah. Like people are still. It's probably like ten, fifteen years ago. We get old. But you know what I'm saying? They're still talking about stuff like that today. Yeah. And it's you're going to get criticized no matter what about whatever goes on. Period. End of story.
It doesn't matter if you're a professional athlete. If you're just at your job, your regular everyday job, not being a professional athlete, if you do something stupid, somebody's going to call you out on it. If you do something right, somebody might still call you out on it because they didn't think it was right enough. It's a fact of life. Let's go down through some of these comments.
D. Reed, considering CrossFit has certified judges to look at videos online, it's not surprising that judges judge the videos. Good point. In the simplest terms, the judges are judging. Yeah, it's like... Welcome to being called a professional athlete. Talk to anyone. Exactly. Aaron Frazier, those closest to you should be the ones that challenge you and hold you accountable. I cannot stress that part enough.
When I do anything online that requires like the last two years, you know, semifinal type stuff and whatnot, I know that the people that are judging me in person are there to hold me to the standards. To make sure. In everyday class, if you're not meeting the standard of a movement, your coach should be the one telling you, you are not doing it right. Yeah. You need to do better. And I've even had a coach, which is, I actually found this awesome, not, ooh.
But anyway, take a video of me not doing it right to point out to me, see, this is where your hip crease is. This is where it needs to be. Yeah. Last Saturday, I was coaching a friend of mine for Saturday morning class. And he thanked me when he was done because he was doing thrusters. And I was like, hey, man, I need you to slow down because the first two, you are riding that line. And then once you kind of get into your rhythm, you actually go all the way down and come back up.
Afterwards, he was like, thank you. He said, once I made the correction, I said, first of all, your feet got flat. Now you're not on your toes. He said, yeah. I felt like my ass was dragging the ground on the bottom of every squat. I was like, well, yeah. Because it was. Because you were actually doing it correctly. Andrew Sten says, soccer fans are the best. Love soccer chants during games. By the way, welcome to Wrexham. Season four is coming out in a week.
That story is absolutely something off of the FIFA video game that they've been promoted in like, what is it? Three consecutive years. Don't say any spoilers, man. And that part, no, that part of it's on that part of it's everywhere. It's like part of the story now. D Reed says do not participate or do not participate in online events where you have to submit videos for the public to judge. Yeah. Don't play.
Scott, I told you, one of my goals for this past CrossFit season was to not end up on a Hillary video. Period. I did not want to go log into my YouTube, look at my videos, and see bats in the comment section. We say that, but we're such a niche sport. It's such a small amount of the population that even sees those. Talk about an NFL player or a Major League Baseball player or a soccer player making the not top ten on ESPN. They take the ten best screw-ups of the week and make a top ten list.
And everybody loves it. Yeah. And I am willing to bet that most of those guys, if they do end up on a not top ten list, are probably laughing about it because they can look at it and look at themselves and go, yeah, that was ridiculous. I can't believe I did that. Or, yeah, that was funny. Ken Walters, if you're an elite athlete, even identified as at a young age, someone always wants you to fail or critique you.
It was the hardest thing we had to do as parents during our son's success in his hockey career. would take it a step further I when my daughter played soccer at eight there were parents yelling from the sidelines like it is just american sports at and I think it's even crazier in europe um if you look at the the things that happen um in the soccer matches over there but like People, the parents are the worst in youth sports at judging others and yelling and screaming from the sidelines.
So my daughter played travel golf three years and or two years rather and played at her high school all four years. And after the first year, I went into it assuming that. which is probably a bad assumption on my fault, that if you're a parent and your kid has been doing something, this activity, a sport, for like once you get to high school, it's probably been, you know, ten, twelve years at that point, that you would know something about the sport.
And I was horribly wrong when it came to that because they don't know they don't they just don't they don't know they don't understand how the game works they don't and this was soccer specific right so I'm sitting there and I'm hearing these parents just yell yeah kick the ball well yeah of course kick the ball it's soccer you should be kicking the ball you use your hand that's probably a bad idea but that's all they know they just think kick it up and then somebody's gonna take a
shot and that's not how it works. Like that's, there's, it's so much more than that. So like after Simone's freshman year, I had to, and me and my now ex wife, like we had, we had a whole, we had a whole ass conversation where I just went, would go and sit by myself for the most part during her games, because I couldn't stand the parents. Yep. Like it, it, it drove me that insane. How about Spike Lee and Reggie Miller did it during a game?
Yeah. I think people in CrossFit think it should be different because the athletes are much closer to regular people in the gym. People can relate to them more than professional athletes in other sports. I think we're getting away from that. These athletes don't train in a community gym anymore. They're training in their garages. They're training in their own facilities. It's getting just like I can go out and throw the football with Corey and I'm not Joe Montana. Right. Right.
Like it, that it just isn't the same. Well, and even if they're at an affiliate, they're not in a class. They're not interacting with the average everyday CrossFitter, right? They're on the other side of the gym. They come in during off hours and do all their stuff, whatever it is, because they don't want to be distracted by the people in the class. Like, you can't get fitter in a class. It's such a false logic. Like, I am one of the fitter people at my gym.
and I make it a point to go get in class at least once a week sometimes twice depending on what I got going on because I love my community and I want to go in there and I am pushed when somebody's in there with me like I want to beat everybody I want to beat everybody in class I want to go as far as I can well it's kind of hard to do that by myself sometimes doing my own programming so I'll go get in class I was in class monday afternoon as a matter of fact And going against some, you know,
some other people that are in there and just trying to be, you know, trying to push on myself because there's other people in there. Hey, I want to beat all these dudes. I want to beat the pants off of them. And to think that you can't go take a class because you're elite, because it's somehow going to interrupt your training is absolute bananas to me. Like, I don't understand that. I understand you need to do extra that. Of course you do.
And you probably need a coach and you need your own program and whatnot. But to not be a part of your community or any community and then wonder why you're so soft. Like, I think the two things go hand in hand. Not to change the subject too much. And we'll come back to this whole topic. But did you see The Unbreakable with Trista Smith and Nick Matthew? No, I did not. I haven't watched any of those.
So I'm terrible at grading these things because I'm very picky about what I want in my CrossFit content. But in that video, and I'll talk about that video later this week and my thoughts on it, but in that video, Nick Matthew talks about he doesn't like to work out alone anymore. He wants to work out with the class. So he takes his programming, and because he's the general manager of his gym and he does the programming, he puts his pieces into the class workout.
So he works out with the classes and then do his accessory work on the side. But that way he gets to work out with the class every day. How awesome is that? If I dropped into Nick Matthews' gym and I am now having to be in the class that he's not coaching, that he's actually in, hell yes, I'm going against Nick Matthews. Let's go. Let's see what happens. I mean, when Christian jumped in with us, the class got really pumped up, man.
Now, she was done with her workout like twenty minutes before we were, but for those ten minutes, it was really cool. Yeah. You get to see somebody who is miles above your ability level just smashing the same, doing the same thing you are, which is what drove us to being competitors in the first place. Right. Seeing guys do stuff that you didn't think was necessarily possible or just outside of the realm of the norm for damn sure.
Andrew Sten says, I'm hoping to go to a Wrexham game when I'm over there for Rogue this year. And Jody Lynn says, good goal. No, it's this, Jody. Good goal! You need some more O's and A's. A bunch of L's. Yeah, parents try to live vicariously through their children.
Yeah. Yeah. and most parents are delusional on how good actually bad their kids are in sports um what what I'll say is and it's kind of this is kind of in the subtext of all that's going on in the chat is I've brought up that like this full swing on netflix and how it is doing promoting the pga tour and it's because the golfers are letting netflix show their warts When I see a letter like this, that's never going to happen in the CrossFit space because they don't want anybody to see
anything bad that's going on in their life. And that's one of my criticisms with this unbreakable thing, and I guess I'm – is you have Nick Matthew, who's a single dad, working full-time as a GM for a gym, and he's a full-time athlete. I want to know how do you balance being a single dad – with those other responsibilities and show me like running your daughter to school, how you have to pick her up after school, how you have to do none of that got shown.
That's to me what makes it relatable and more human. And all they did was they kind of focused on the qualifier workouts for WFP. I've seen that before. Yeah. And I'm not saying it wasn't done well. I mean, it was well produced. It told a story. I don't think it's the lead story that I wanted to know about, but... I would go back to the...
Oh, Fittest in History documentary about Rich winning four in a row when they showed them going through the adoption phase, like trying to get, you know, his daughter for the first time and picking them up and like all of that stuff. Right. Not just, hey, he's winning. Here's him training, montage, blah, blah, whatever. Like that's a well-produced documentary. show. He's a kid at heart.
They showed him on the four runners and blowing stuff up in his backyard and doing all the stuff like a twelve-year-old would do to make him more relatable as a human. I don't need to see all the barn footage over and over again. There's a road to the games that I just... One quote, he said that it was him, Matt... I want to say Dan Bailey, a couple of whoever other people. And at one point he go, all right, let's go do some bench press. So everybody can see how bad we are at it.
That line just in, in and of itself right there. Like, yep. I want to watch more of this dude. Like, because he's saying stuff that I would say that's let's just go see how terrible we actually are. Ken Walter says Nick's gym is here in Minnesota. I can vouch whenever I have been there, he works out with the classes. That's really cool. And he also says, my strength coach also trains and coaches at Nick's Box. Jay Birch says, I haven't seen any of those WFP videos. Are they good?
The Laura Horvat one is awesome. It is one of the best pieces of content I've seen in a long time. The Adler one is very good. And then this one, I don't think it's their best work. I think of the three that are out, the long-form documentary videos, this one falls a little bit behind the other two. But the Laura one went where nobody else has gone before. They went back to her childhood schools. They showed the sports she played and why she got into rock climbing and all of that kind of stuff.
It was really, really cool. Speaking of Adler, did you see... his tongue for heavy as well. It's insane. And then Olivia Kerstetter said, hold my beer. Yeah. Well, that was going to happen. Um, Yeah, Kenneth says, I watched the Adler one before it got taken down for copyright. They changed it up, I guess. And so it had more like of him hanging out with Carolyn in the gym, training and talking more because they weren't allowed to use the CrossFit footage.
So I think I didn't get to see the original, but I heard it was a little bit more storytelling oriented. the laura one though is like what I want my documentary to be it is a throwback to the road to the games era oh speaking of did you see that they're doing road to the games this year I did not see that crossfit media is doing road to the games this year okay we'll see I reserve judgment, just like I see the storytelling, though. I don't want like workout porn. I want storytelling.
I'm with you. I am cautiously optimistic just because of the content that they've been putting out here lately and how good it's actually been. So I'm with you, a hundred percent. I get it. Like, I'm the same way. I don't just want to see, you know, Brooke Wells doing muscle-ups or whatever. Like, I don't really care about that. We know she can do that. That's fine.
I want to see, like, the old ones were, you know, at their house in the morning, making breakfast, and they're talking about how bad they're hurting, whatever the case may be. I want to see an actual story. But I'm just excited that they're even doing it at this point. Because there's a void, right, between now and then. You're going to have WFP stuff. You're going to have a couple of comps and whatnot in between here and there.
But for the most part, there's not going to be a whole lot of stuff to put out CrossFit-wise, like straight CrossFit-wise. So good for them for, you know what, let's do it again and see what we can do. The lower one goes to her hometown. Kristoff is a big part of it.
and I think that that made her more comfortable and more open to talk about things and kristen added um details to the stories because he was the older brother during the times most of the stuff was going on um it had the storytelling that I want to see so much um that that's all and I don't care who puts it out um I just I've The best example in the chat that I've seen is Colton lets everybody in on everything, right? And because of that, he's the most popular athlete in the sport right now.
And it's not because he wins. It's because, and I haven't seen it yet, from what I hear, he actually made the Tia... channel exciting to watch. I have not seen it either, but you're the second person I've heard to say that. He made that fun to watch. Again, I have not watched it. I have not given my... This is not the Scott rating of that video.
I've just read that it made it interesting because... basically Tia says I know you're the king of talking and we're gonna go at it and and then someone said that Tia and Tim Paulson had the same hairdo and I have seen that clip is Colton obsessed so I don't he said he watched it and didn't get enough Colton but it's Colton obsessed. Yes. I'm not sure. I'm not good. That's going to be stuck in my head for the rest of the week at this point. I didn't realize that Paulson got his haircut.
He got long hair chopped. So he has the, he has the mom do. That's fantastic. That is absolutely fantastic. Now, that is enough reason for me to go watch right there. A hundred percent, just to go see that. Yeah, I'll watch that this afternoon and kind of give my take on it tomorrow. And I love Tim Paulson. Like, Paulson is just, he never takes himself seriously. No, which is why he's awesome.
Yeah. Speaking of... this is going to be a little bit off topic as well but I got I got it stuck in my head now um did you have a chance to watch dave's weekend review I did I actually have it on my list okay okay good good did you see that he said that they are talking about in-person qualifying events for masters next year I did that he has some partners wanting to do those yeah I would I don't normally go comment on those, but I went ahead and commented on that to see if
I could get him to say something about it on his next week's weekend review. Did you also see him admit that the teams didn't really get video reviewed and it's just an experiment they were doing? A hundred percent. Why would you even say that? Because he's Dave and he doesn't give a shit. I heard that and I was like, what the hell are you talking about? Like, why? The only, he's the only dude I know that can say something like that. And just, and like as nonchalant as humanly possible.
It was like, yeah, it was more of an experiment than anything else. We looked at the top list, figured those are the right people that were supposed to get there. And we just let it, we just let it roll. And I was – I had it on driving home yesterday, like that last part of it where he said – or whatever part it was when he said that. I put it in my Jeep, and I was at a red light, and I stopped and actually looked.
And I was like, he, he really just said that out loud where other people could hear it. Like he didn't, he'd use the. And he said it after Hillard already put out video showing that people didn't meet the standards. Yes. And if I made today CrossFit, I've, I'm, I've lost my mind. Oh, I'm screaming at this point. Yeah. Screaming at this point. Sitting one point out of twentieth place. And you did no video review.
And knowing that there's people that's inside there that didn't measure stuff, didn't do stuff to standard or whatever the case may be. So, I mean, it's a bold strategy, cotton. The teams didn't have video review. They didn't have to post their videos and they didn't do a video review. And they just let the scores go forward. I am just dumbfounded. At least in the past, they faked like they did video review.
Right. I know what I say, our team, the email company team, I know what links that they went through to make sure that everything they did was on point. So like to, for them to do all that, make sure to go through all the extra steps, get the extra judges, get the, I mean, Brandon ran with them on the eight hundred holding a camera to make sure that, you know, went above and beyond and then nobody ever looked at it. Aaron Frazier corrects me. Thank you, Aaron, for that.
eighth eighth days and twentieth mayhem hendersonville is one out at twenty one uh so yeah I know I I I've gotten to be not not close but closer with the eighth day crew because uh it's close to where jamie lives um and when I've gone up there for some comps um that crew compete at those competitions um so yeah um just a little bit closer with them um and we always watch them jamie always wants to be out there when they're going so but yeah um that's about all I have for today man
that was a lot um like we covered a bunch of ground the only thing I've left is just a personal thing um while my wife was sleeping yesterday after her surgery I worked on my my delorean And added a light kit. It actually has sound and light. Fantastic. Fantastic. I didn't realize it had the hook on it. Yep. Yeah, you can make it either that one or the one with Mr. Fusion on the back. Yeah. Or the original with the plutonium. With just the regular plutonium, yeah.
Yeah. But it actually, like, the sound effects make it, when it hits ADA, this turns blue. There it goes. Yep. And then everything starts blinking, and it goes back in time. But yeah, it was so much harder to do the light kit than it was to build the car. And the lights that I'm putting in there are like a millimeter wide. So you put in like tweezers? Yeah, I use tweezers for the whole thing. Yeah. Now, like the blue underneath there, that's a replacement brick.
It is a clear brick that the LEDs are already in it and you just replace what's there. But like the headlights, I had to insert the LED into the glass bricks that are there. Did you have to take it apart to then put the stuff in and put it back together? Let me tell you something. You got way more patients than I've ever had in forty eight years because there's no way I've started several models like when I was a kid because I love I'm a huge car guy. And I probably finished three of them.
I built one airplane, a B-B. I built a fifty. What is it? It was a first year vet. Fifty six. Something like that. Yeah, somewhere there. Built one of those. And then, like, I think I did, like, a Lamborghini at one point or something like that. But I could, I had no patience. So, like, and it was glued together stuff. So, like. Yep. And then try to not get glue everywhere. Nope. So, for you to go in there and be like, oh, yeah, I know these. I got these LEDs that you can hardly see.
Put them in the headlight. Bless you for that, dude. No way. So this is a Lego. That is a Lego set. It is Legos. Calm me down. There's something about like clicking that the blocks together that just give me like this sense of peace. Right. And now the light kit was less a sense of peace than the building of the car. I will admit. Yeah, there was much more, much more cursing.
And yeah, that putting it together but when it was done and it looked the way it did it was worth every bit of that um it was such a sense of accomplishment um the only kind of meticulous like that I can do that actually like gets me in that knot like you hand me like a ball of string that's just all tied up into in this Hey, Ron, I need you to make this back into one string.
I'll sit there for two hours and just figuring out how everything's done and just undoing it and having to go back and redo it and whatnot. That is about it. But Legos, I used to build the shit out of Legos when I was a kid, but I made whatever I wanted to make. I didn't usually make what was in a box. I just built stuff. A whole different thing. So, like, if I have a lot of aggression, my calm down is to go lift a barbell or to throw a sandbag or whatever, right?
But sometimes I just need that, like, that real touch kind of point in together. And it just, I don't know. That's it. It's a tactile thing that's making you focus at that point. Like, the rest of the world kind of drops away. The old glues together stuff made a whole generation of glue sniffers. True story. Definitely your own, yeah. Aaron asks, Scott, when do you eat lunch if you're here for your lunch? So I work from home.
I just go upstairs and I eat at my desk as I go back, as long as I'm not in a meeting. And so I either just try to figure out, before I come down here or after, depending on my meeting schedules, and I just eat at my desk for that. So Jason Bourne, as you would guess Jason Bourne would do, would go to a gun range to calm down. Yeah. He also knows how fast he can run flat out at this elevation before his hands start to shake. One point twenty one gigawatts. That is right. Helping.
That is flipping sweet. I knew he'd like it because his old Instagram handle used to be eighty eight miles per hour. Yeah, I think something like that. But yeah. Yeah. So I. My wife works from home and then she has dinner or lunch waiting for me when I go upstairs. But with her knee surgery, that ain't happening today. Probably not so much today, but generally. Yeah. So with that, guys, time for – oh, I didn't do a dart today. Nope. Yeah. Didn't even aim. Just tossed it. Missed low.
Missed the board. Went into the wall. With that, it's time for you knuckleheads to get back to work. I need to go take care of my wife. With that, we will see everybody tomorrow on Lunch with the Clydesdale. Bye, guys.
