Lunch with the Clydesdale - What in the World is Going On in the CrossFit Space? · Clydesdale Media Podcast

0:03
So you want to start CrossFit,
0:05
and you find out it's more Big Brother.
0:19
I love the chase and the hunt,
0:21
and I set the pace when I'm running.
0:22
I always take what I want,
0:24
and I always give it one hundred.
0:25
Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.
0:27
Play the game like it's nothing.
0:28
I'm always thankful for something.
0:30
Don't take for granted, stay humble.
0:31
Now wake up!
0:33
It's time to look at the enemy.
0:35
Look in the mirror if he is no
0:37
friend to me.
0:38
It's not working out,
0:39
maybe it's the chemistry.
0:41
It's time to break up so I can
0:42
make a better me.
0:43
Yee-haw-ba-da-ba-doo!
0:49
It's lunchtime!
0:52
What is going on, everybody?
0:53
It is lunchtime,
0:55
and we got the cowboy today.
0:59
I got a mic.
1:00
And he's got a mic.
1:02
He's got a mic.
1:04
What is going on, Meredith, Vicky, Frida?
1:08
Good to have you all with us today.
1:13
Before we get into too much,
1:14
and there's a lot going on, like...
1:17
With all the tea going on in the
1:19
CrossFit space,
1:20
Jenny's going to have to do a daily
1:21
dense update.
1:23
Bruh, it's ridiculous.
1:27
It is.
1:28
The sheer volume of stuff that has
1:31
exploded in the past, I don't know, what,
1:33
five days, six days, something like that.
1:36
So crazy.
1:38
Yeah, bless her.
1:39
Bless her for keeping up,
1:40
for being able to keep up.
1:43
Well, let's start there.
1:44
I'll go on my riff later.
1:46
So yesterday, I kind of went off.
1:49
I saw this guy from CBG.
1:52
We've actually had him on the show.
1:54
He was interviewed by Charlie back in the
1:56
day.
1:58
Okay.
1:58
Yeah, Vicky, we know there's that code.
2:01
Trust us.
2:02
We're working on it.
2:04
The equipment just got here last night.
2:08
We're working through the issues of
2:09
getting everything set up just right.
2:11
I don't know if it's the office he's
2:13
in or whatever.
2:15
We've finagled with some buttons and we're
2:17
working on it.
2:18
We'll get it ironed out in the next
2:20
couple days for sure.
2:22
But at least we can hear him clearly
2:23
now.
2:25
Worst case scenario,
2:26
I'll just go back to my earbuds for
2:27
the rest of the day,
2:28
but we're trying to get it straight.
2:31
So, um, so yeah.
2:34
So yesterday I go on my Instagram,
2:36
there's all this stuff between Taylor self
2:39
and the CBG guy.
2:40
And again, full disclosure,
2:41
he's been on our show.
2:43
Charlie interviewed him a couple of times.
2:45
Um, it is, uh,
2:48
there is no reverb George Wang.
2:50
Actually, I do have a reverb button.
2:51
I just turned all the way down.
2:53
There it is.
2:54
Thank you, George Wang.
2:58
Yeah, that it's much better now.
3:00
Okay, good, yeah.
3:00
It was about halfway, FYI.
3:03
Okay.
3:04
Which is probably how it came out of
3:05
the box.
3:05
I didn't even pay any attention to it.
3:07
There we go.
3:09
Sound great.
3:11
I already got a fix for you, Vicky.
3:12
George, Meredith, there you go.
3:15
Appreciate it, Wayne.
3:16
So, okay, back to the story.
3:18
CBG guy, he's been on our show.
3:21
Apparently,
3:22
he's been called out that maybe the games
3:25
athletes do not –
3:29
do not actually do his program they just
3:32
get paid by him to say they do
3:34
it and he took offense to that he
3:37
went out and on a complete assault on
3:40
the comment sections around youtube
3:43
instagram and whatever um and then he went
3:48
old school mafia pulled out a wad of
3:50
cash said he was gonna fund
3:53
gonna find the rat i'm gonna find the
3:55
rat and uh which i don't get like
4:01
a rat is someone who turns on you
4:04
and spills the beans i don't know how
4:07
like i guess that's a rat all right
4:10
he was finding a rat i don't know
4:14
and i just like i'm perplexed that that's
4:19
how you decide to run your business
4:23
Now,
4:24
he's done things in the past that I
4:25
just don't understand.
4:27
And I know.
4:27
I have an MBA,
4:30
and I study business and we do case
4:32
studies.
4:32
I don't see guys doing marketing plans
4:34
with crunk teeth, thick chains,
4:40
eighties Oakley sunglasses,
4:43
Hulk Hogan outfits to advertise their
4:45
business.
4:47
That's not what I studied in school.
4:51
But he's chosen to be,
4:53
that's his persona and more power to him.
4:57
But then when you're in trouble like this,
4:59
it doesn't come off well.
5:02
When then you take all the stuff like
5:05
that,
5:06
the over the top stuff that he does,
5:08
and then go on a crusade through the
5:11
comment section.
5:14
Your thoughts.
5:16
And tag all of your own athletes.
5:21
To start off with.
5:24
And tell the people that you're talking
5:26
to, the audience,
5:27
to go ask them if they really do
5:31
the program.
5:32
So blow up all my athletes' DMs and
5:36
ask them if they really do my program.
5:43
I don't have an MBA, Scott.
5:46
FYI.
5:47
I have a couple semesters of college.
5:49
I was about to...
5:52
And I am fairly certain that that is
5:54
a, I don't even say a terrible idea,
5:57
a baffling idea.
6:00
What I'm going to do is I'm going
6:01
to call out all of my people.
6:04
Hey, these are all of my people.
6:06
If you know that they're not doing what
6:10
I have programmed for them to do,
6:12
you tell me and I'll have some money
6:14
for you.
6:17
What?
6:19
What?
6:20
What?
6:22
instead of going well you know what we're
6:24
having a difference of opinion and i'm
6:27
going to keep doing what i do and
6:29
you keep doing what you do and then
6:30
we'll just roll right on along i cannot
6:34
see this ending well for his business
6:38
especially well here's what i really not
6:40
seeing well is because before then
6:44
Like people were aware of them.
6:45
I would say,
6:46
I would say that people hadn't really done
6:48
much deep, deep dives,
6:49
but like the people that are in the
6:50
comments that are leaving testimonials now
6:54
about, oh,
6:55
I did this and I had this horrible
6:57
experience and I gave them this money and
6:59
then I decided I wanted to do it.
7:00
And they were like too late.
7:01
You already signed the contract.
7:02
I'm not giving you your money or your,
7:04
your meal plan for whatever.
7:09
And there's, it's more than one.
7:11
It's more than two.
7:12
It's more than three.
7:15
The last I checked,
7:15
there were several different stories in
7:17
there about how this dude was doing less
7:21
than above board business.
7:25
And nobody was saying anything before
7:27
then.
7:27
But now that you want to come out
7:30
there and huff and puff and pull your
7:32
chest out, now all of a sudden, oh,
7:36
you want to act like that?
7:36
Cool.
7:37
This is who this guy really is.
7:39
or at least who he was with those
7:42
particular people.
7:43
And it doesn't take much.
7:44
Dude, this community is not that big.
7:47
It's really, really, really not for them.
7:53
Let's be real, right?
7:54
Like when you're working on nutrition,
7:58
there's a couple templates out there that
8:00
are really just the only thing that's out
8:03
there.
8:03
Unless you're going like fad,
8:05
super crazy stuff.
8:08
The real business of nutrition coaching is
8:11
a relationship between you and your coach.
8:14
that person that you can talk to in
8:16
the time you need somebody,
8:18
the person you can talk to when you
8:19
need advice.
8:21
After the last few days,
8:22
do you trust this dude to be that
8:24
guy to have that conversation with?
8:26
Threatening to post before and after
8:29
pictures of your wife?
8:31
If you go public about any more of
8:33
this stuff, like,
8:36
That's not who I want to trust with
8:38
my,
8:39
I have a hard enough time getting on
8:40
the scale and let my own self see
8:42
it,
8:42
let alone like sharing that with a person
8:44
that I can't trust.
8:46
Who is now publicly stating these things.
8:51
Right.
8:52
Right.
8:53
For everybody to see.
8:54
Internet's forever.
8:56
Yeah.
8:58
It's mind boggling, dude.
9:00
It's mind boggling.
9:01
It's like, you know what?
9:02
We were doing pretty good.
9:04
We got some high-level athletes in here
9:06
and whatnot.
9:06
What can we do to completely tank that
9:08
as much as we possibly can?
9:11
Yeah, like, exactly.
9:15
They were actually getting some traction,
9:17
right?
9:19
Like, you know,
9:20
you have the Trista Smiths,
9:21
the Hattie Canyos, the Danielle Brandons,
9:24
the Haley Adams, all of that stuff.
9:28
And then you just totally tank it by
9:31
getting into an internet bully session.
9:35
Both Smiths.
9:39
And Jesse.
9:41
I don't know if they're still with him
9:43
because I didn't see their names posted,
9:45
but maybe I know they were with him
9:48
for a long time.
9:53
But here's the thing.
9:55
Like, okay,
9:56
you want to fight with Taylor Self?
9:57
That makes... That's fine.
10:00
Go fight with Taylor Self.
10:02
But two hundred fifty people commented on
10:04
Taylor Self's reel.
10:06
And then you dive into those comments and
10:08
not...
10:09
You're not like explaining what went
10:11
wrong.
10:12
You're not trying to like...
10:14
give an explanation as to what's happening
10:17
no you're gonna intimidate and bully
10:20
people in the comments and then expect
10:23
that to go well that's a joke it's
10:31
worse than a joke uh how he says
10:35
i almost feel bad for how much of
10:37
an idiot he seems like he must be
10:39
young
10:40
I think he was really successful as a
10:42
small company.
10:44
And this happens a lot in business, right?
10:47
As a small company, you do awesome.
10:49
And then you decide, well,
10:50
I need to grow bigger.
10:53
And then you're chasing the rabbit.
10:55
And not everybody is cut out to chase
10:57
the rabbit.
10:59
And I think what he got in,
11:05
he got in the deep end of the
11:06
pool and he can't hang.
11:10
The very deep end of the pool.
11:14
Uh, Vicki,
11:15
he has a group of coaches that work
11:16
with clients, maybe not elites, but still,
11:18
is it possible that some people had issues
11:20
with some of the coaches and not him
11:22
directly?
11:23
I actually heard the exact opposite Vicki.
11:26
I've actually heard that his coaches are
11:29
actually pretty awesome.
11:32
Um,
11:32
it's the people that have to deal with
11:34
him directly that have had the issue.
11:38
which is sad because you're employing
11:41
these coaches who are so like,
11:46
so how do you,
11:47
can you does not work with him, right?
11:50
How do you works with a girl named
11:52
Amanda?
11:54
And I got to meet her at the
11:56
games last year.
11:57
She is amazing.
11:59
She is nothing like, right.
12:02
She, she don't wear crunk teeth.
12:04
She doesn't wear big, thick chains.
12:06
She was a very supportive person for
12:08
Hattie during the games.
12:10
And, um, and she was awesome.
12:14
What's sad is he goes out and does
12:17
all this stuff and he's blowing up his
12:19
business that support all of these
12:21
coaches.
12:24
So now they're either going to have to,
12:26
if it blows up,
12:27
they're going to have to find their own
12:29
business to run or find another company to
12:32
link up with to continue what they're
12:34
doing.
12:37
And now people like Hattie have to look
12:39
at that and go,
12:40
do I really want to be associated?
12:42
Even though my actual coach is amazing,
12:45
is a rock star,
12:47
do I really want to be associated with
12:49
this dude who is the face of the
12:51
company at this point?
12:54
Well, and I don't know this for sure.
12:58
Like her and Amanda are tight.
13:00
So it wouldn't surprise me that she was
13:03
with Amanda before Amanda got with CBG.
13:06
Right.
13:07
Right.
13:07
But now you have this guy out there
13:09
putting your name out there,
13:11
DM this woman and ask her if she
13:13
does my program.
13:16
Which is, I already said it once,
13:19
but good Lord, that's crazy.
13:24
Hunting cardio bunnies.
13:25
Yeah, to me,
13:26
hiring a personal coach is almost like
13:28
hiring a friend or accountability buddy,
13:30
if not just by the RP templates.
13:33
I wouldn't even call it a friend.
13:34
I would call it more an accountability
13:36
person.
13:40
I feel that to have a coach,
13:43
it's hard to have a personal relationship
13:46
as a friend and be the coach.
13:49
You want someone that has a vested
13:51
interest in you,
13:52
but you're not hanging out together.
13:56
because they can look at things more
13:57
objectively.
14:00
Right.
14:03
But that's me.
14:04
It doesn't work that way.
14:07
No, I would say my,
14:08
my nutrition coach is,
14:10
is definitely one of my best happens to
14:12
be one of my best friends,
14:13
but she doesn't cut me any slack.
14:17
Right.
14:18
If you have that, that's awesome.
14:20
yeah she's she's amazing she's trained
14:22
partner her and i fixing to do a
14:24
competition together um the beginning of
14:26
the month next month uh and but she
14:30
doesn't cut me any slack like hey bro
14:32
i'm fixing to cut you fixing to cut
14:34
you you know matter of fact she cut
14:35
my fat this week oh because i'm leaning
14:39
out but yeah tristan the comment section
14:45
was interesting says tristan he is not
14:49
wrong
14:51
He is not wrong, not at all.
14:54
Vicki, this is an excellent point.
14:58
RP, et cetera, doesn't work for everyone.
14:59
I'm a nutrition and mindset coach,
15:01
and it's about way more than the food.
15:03
Mindset, psychology, mental issues.
15:10
All of that is more than about what
15:12
the wound is, whatever that is,
15:15
whether the wound be I'm addicted to food
15:17
or whether the wound be like I'm depressed
15:19
or whether usually there's a cause of the
15:22
wound.
15:24
And it's finding that cause that solves
15:27
the problem.
15:29
Not addressing the wound.
15:30
Right.
15:37
I am a big cause person.
15:39
I don't want a bandaid.
15:43
I want to know,
15:45
I want to fix it, right?
15:47
I am a fixer.
15:49
I want to know what's wrong so I
15:51
can fix it.
15:52
I don't want to just patch it up.
15:54
I don't want to cover up symptoms.
15:55
I want to fix it.
16:00
And it doesn't work for everybody.
16:05
A lot of people just want problems to
16:08
go on.
16:08
No, I don't want to do that.
16:09
I want to fix things.
16:12
Big, big, big difference.
16:14
Big difference.
16:15
I want to know why.
16:16
I want to change habits so that I
16:17
can fix it.
16:19
I think that's kind of the CrossFitters
16:22
mentality, right?
16:24
And Vicky brings it up here.
16:26
I approach it from a functional medicine
16:28
perspective, too,
16:29
so I can incorporate that into meal
16:31
planning, et cetera.
16:32
Exactly.
16:33
You're looking for the thing that solves
16:35
the problem, right?
16:36
Getting fit, eating right.
16:38
That's what gets things better.
16:40
But you've got to figure out what's
16:42
causing the binge eating or the cravings
16:45
or whatever it is.
16:48
And in this pharmaceutical world we live
16:50
in today,
16:52
so many people just want the pill or
16:54
the Band-Aid to go over the wound, right?
16:57
Give me two pills.
16:58
Give me six pills.
16:59
Give me eight pills, right?
17:01
Instead of figuring out what is it that's
17:03
causing this,
17:03
and maybe I can eliminate that from my
17:05
life and then move forward.
17:08
Oh, are these six pills causing...
17:12
whatever side effects here are these two
17:14
pills to take care of the side effects
17:16
oh yeah like it's pills on pills on
17:18
pills on pills dude so uh we started
17:24
we being me and my wife started a
17:25
uh documentary night before last or so uh
17:32
somebody somebody's family killed somebody
17:34
else's husband something along those lines
17:36
whatever not the point it's on Hulu we
17:38
have Hulu with ads right ad last night
17:42
was the wildest most specific you know
17:47
because they show it's all it's not all
17:49
but it's vast majority like take this pill
17:52
at it's actually a doctor is this pill
17:53
right for you at it was a
17:59
I forget the name of the website.
18:00
It'll come to me in a little bit.
18:01
But it was a pill for if your
18:03
penis had a bend in it.
18:06
Yeah.
18:07
And they hold up the carrot.
18:09
Yes.
18:10
Broken carrot.
18:11
Yeah.
18:12
Oh, my God, dude.
18:14
That was the first time I'd seen that
18:16
one or we had seen that one last
18:17
night.
18:17
And I looked over because Jennifer was
18:19
sitting on the other side of the couch
18:20
for me.
18:20
And she's just sitting there literally
18:22
with her jaw open like,
18:24
is this really on TV right now?
18:28
Jason Board once signed up.
18:32
I truly just thought it was Naoman I
18:34
had to live with my whole life.
18:36
Didn't even know there was a Band-Aid for
18:38
it, man.
18:41
Here's the thing, dude.
18:43
We thought,
18:44
honestly thought it was a skit at first.
18:49
You know what I'm saying?
18:50
It was going to turn out to be...
18:51
Yeah.
18:52
Something along those lines.
18:55
And like,
18:56
They never cut away.
18:58
Nope, nope.
18:59
This is what this is for.
19:01
Right then and there.
19:03
Holy smokes, dude.
19:08
Jody says, meanwhile,
19:09
hers ads are popping up nonstop in the
19:11
chat.
19:13
That's why I pay for the premium YouTube.
19:16
I just can't.
19:19
Her's ads.
19:21
I watch YouTube more than any other
19:23
streaming service under the sun.
19:25
And I,
19:26
I got rid of ads cause I just
19:27
can't.
19:29
The, uh, hers hymns in a row.
19:36
Yeah, bro.
19:37
Then row people, they, they,
19:38
and everything.
19:40
Yeah.
19:41
Goodness.
19:41
I don't watch a lot of TV, Scott.
19:43
And I know that they are everywhere.
19:47
Um,
19:50
Corey, the majority of them are wild.
19:52
I've actually watched TV where the one
19:54
commercial is, hey,
19:57
this is for erectile dysfunction,
19:59
but it may cause hair loss.
20:01
And the very next ad is, hey,
20:02
you got your solution for hair loss.
20:07
And they run back and back.
20:09
Yeah, that's what I was just saying, dude.
20:12
Oh, do you have problems from this?
20:15
You should take this.
20:17
pharmaceutical industry man it feeds upon
20:20
itself and it's i think there's so much
20:24
strategy involved with that that will
20:27
release this and then we'll have the
20:28
solution to the side effect with this and
20:32
so on and so on yeah frida i'm
20:35
glad i live in a country where drugs
20:37
can't be advertised it just blows my mind
20:40
like growing up that was not i i
20:42
don't know why they legalized it
20:45
Because enough lobbyists got involved,
20:48
they got paid,
20:49
and they decided to go ahead and change
20:50
the rules.
20:52
My two favorite things about those
20:53
commercials are ask your doctor if this
20:56
pill is right for you.
20:59
And the second best thing,
21:01
my second favorite thing is the side
21:04
effects.
21:07
May cause, and they just start talking.
21:09
Yeah.
21:11
Everything from bleeding from your eyes to
21:14
sudden and horrific death.
21:18
Don't take this if you're allergic to what
21:21
it's made out of.
21:22
How am I supposed to know if I'm
21:23
allergic to what it's made out of unless
21:25
I take it?
21:28
Right.
21:30
There's one ad that said, here's pill A.
21:36
Don't take if you're allergic to pill A.
21:38
Well,
21:39
how the hell am I supposed to know
21:40
if I'm allergic to LA?
21:40
Like they're not even using an ingredient.
21:43
They just say the product name.
21:48
Right.
21:48
Um, Shanna, who is, you know,
21:50
our CFM BL one, uh, hate the industry,
21:54
uh,
21:56
um it's mind-boggling to me that like you
21:59
these doctors go to school for like seven
22:01
years or whatever it is to get their
22:03
degree and now you the consumer who has
22:06
no education based on a thirty second ad
22:09
you're supposed to go to your doctor and
22:11
say hey i want this oh
22:20
That's got me thinking about the stuff
22:21
that we used to,
22:22
when they first started coming out with
22:24
all the, you know,
22:25
the various ads or whatnot that we no
22:27
longer see.
22:28
Has restless leg syndrome been cured?
22:31
Do you remember restless leg syndrome?
22:33
I do.
22:34
Yeah.
22:36
Has it been cured?
22:37
Because I haven't seen a commercial for it
22:38
in probably five years.
22:41
Yeah.
22:43
Shana, I love you, Scott.
22:44
You understand.
22:45
Yes.
22:47
Yes.
22:47
Yes.
22:48
Thank you.
22:49
Love you back.
22:50
I think we had something here.
22:54
Hold on.
22:55
The nutritionist also advertising GLPs
22:57
makes me sick.
22:58
Not saying some people may not need them
23:01
to a degree, but WTF.
23:04
Absolutely.
23:13
The easiest way to know everything you
23:14
need to know about pharma is no one
23:16
in the industry takes anything they sell.
23:21
The, I forget what they were called,
23:24
but they were like three different ones
23:26
that were about the painkillers, you know,
23:31
the opioid crisis and whatnot,
23:32
when they were overprescribing Oxycontin
23:35
and whatnot.
23:36
There's like three different that are all
23:39
basically about the same set of people.
23:42
You watch those guys,
23:43
like the salesmen that are going to these
23:44
doctor's offices and, you know,
23:46
prescribe this, blah, blah,
23:47
so they could get money.
23:49
None of those people want Oxycontin.
23:52
Not a single one.
23:55
Well, here in Ohio,
23:57
the opioid epidemic is so big.
23:59
I mean, at work,
24:00
we have grants to try to get people
24:03
out into recovery, so on and so forth.
24:07
And if you actually need a painkiller,
24:09
like the amount of paperwork you have to
24:11
sign off on now at the doctor to
24:13
get a legit painkiller.
24:16
And then, like,
24:17
I think when I had my back surgery,
24:19
they made me go to a class and
24:22
learn about opioids.
24:24
And what their effects could be.
24:27
But I'm that guy that like,
24:28
as soon as I can get off the
24:30
med, I want off the med.
24:32
Right.
24:32
You give me, you give me oxy.
24:34
I I'm taking it until I can tolerate
24:36
the pain and then it's gone.
24:38
My wife had shoulder surgery.
24:42
When was that?
24:44
Three years ago.
24:45
Something along those lines.
24:47
And.
24:49
you know,
24:50
twelve hours in between or whatever the
24:52
case in between.
24:53
And she did every single thing she
24:55
possibly could to not take any of her
24:57
pain medicine for that reason.
24:59
She didn't want it.
25:00
She didn't want anything to do with it.
25:01
She didn't like how it made her feel.
25:04
And she didn't want to even take a
25:06
chance that she was going to enjoy it
25:08
and therefore end up being hooked to it.
25:11
So like she was a soldier, dude.
25:13
It was
25:15
Horrible to watch because she was in so
25:16
much pain,
25:17
but it was incredible to watch because she
25:20
just soldiered through like the vast
25:21
majority of it.
25:23
Mark Phillips responding to your restless
25:25
leg syndrome.
25:26
Remember, I get kicked every night.
25:28
Amen, brother.
25:31
Amen.
25:32
I don't know if my eight-year-old has it,
25:34
but if you – on the off chance
25:37
when she –
25:39
wakes up in the middle of the night
25:40
and has come and crawl in bed with
25:41
us dude she sleeps sideways and kicks us
25:43
pretty much the entire night it's insane
25:48
um
25:51
I was going to bring up the DB
25:53
thing.
25:54
Dents did a great job kind of summarizing
25:56
it.
25:57
If you didn't see the Hiller video on
25:58
Brittany Weiss,
26:00
he asks her why Daniel Brandon hates her
26:03
as in it in like the Hiller kind
26:05
of like jabbing, joking fashion.
26:08
And then brings up the fact that when
26:10
Brittany won crashed,
26:13
Danielle screenshotted her bio on
26:17
Instagram where she said she was a games
26:19
athlete and dogged her for saying that
26:22
being a team games athlete or team games
26:26
champion.
26:30
And Hiller has another segment on it in
26:32
his latest video.
26:33
I think it just came out right before
26:35
we went on the air,
26:35
so I haven't got a chance.
26:37
Earlier today,
26:37
I didn't get a chance to watch it.
26:38
I didn't get a chance to check out
26:40
Jenny's video yet either because I had to
26:42
Google it.
26:43
Yeah,
26:44
I didn't get to notice on Jenny's until
26:46
later this morning because they've started
26:48
that new channel.
26:49
And I did subscribe last night,
26:51
but it didn't notify me until a couple
26:53
hours after it went live.
26:56
Usually,
26:57
I wake up to pee and that's when
26:59
I see it.
27:03
I don't...
27:06
I don't want to go into the DB
27:07
thing again.
27:08
Cause like,
27:08
it's just the same old stuff over and
27:10
over again.
27:11
Now there's people coming out of the
27:12
woodwork saying she's a homewrecker and
27:15
doing the long reel on Instagram and all
27:18
this.
27:18
I don't need,
27:19
I don't need to go into all that
27:20
stuff, but so Jenny summer really well.
27:25
Fun fact.
27:25
I started watching that.
27:27
There was long reel on Instagram about the
27:29
girl.
27:29
And then I got,
27:32
Thirty five seconds into it.
27:33
And I said, you know what?
27:34
I really don't care.
27:36
Yeah.
27:37
And I just with you, I was like,
27:38
I looked at the line on the bottom
27:40
and it was only like a tick over
27:41
with a whole bunch to go.
27:42
And I'm like,
27:43
there can't be this much to the story.
27:45
There's no possible way.
27:48
There's no possible way.
27:49
So I just moved on with my life.
27:53
Oh, well, there you go.
27:56
There, Chattanooga did it for us.
27:58
The Homewrecker Post lady didn't say
27:59
anything anyhow.
28:01
So the other thing that came up in
28:03
the whole like this is bizarro reality
28:06
show CrossFit thing is the Josie Hamming
28:09
thing having an OnlyFans account.
28:13
So I wanted to do a deep dive
28:14
investigation to find out about this
28:18
OnlyFans account.
28:20
And I did it without going on OnlyFans,
28:21
just so you know.
28:23
Good job.
28:24
I went to Reddit to kind of see
28:27
what the uproar was about.
28:29
And I don't go to Reddit unless I
28:31
absolutely have to.
28:33
But all of the complaining on Reddit was
28:37
that she doesn't show anything anyway.
28:39
It's her Instagram account on OnlyFans.
28:41
Yeah.
28:42
And so everybody's making this big deal
28:44
about it.
28:45
And it's really just people paying for her
28:48
Instagram account that they can get for
28:50
free.
28:53
And God bless her for that.
28:55
Yeah.
28:55
If she can get paid for it and
28:57
not even have to do a new picture,
28:59
just copy it over from Instagram.
29:02
I'm going to take the stuff that men
29:03
are willing to pay for that or women
29:05
are willing to pay for that.
29:07
More power to you.
29:09
And they are.
29:12
clearly they are because I can't find
29:15
where she does anything else.
29:17
She works out and takes pictures of
29:18
herself or people take pictures of her
29:20
regionals athlete for a minute,
29:22
like a team athlete for a minute.
29:25
But, and I think,
29:27
I think her brother is actually one of
29:30
the eighth day CrossFit gym members on the
29:34
team.
29:37
And Jamie knows the family because she's
29:40
from that Michigan area.
29:44
um so jonathan says it's not new
29:48
apparently he's been a member for about a
29:49
year and a half no i'm just kidding
29:53
um she has a personal training program and
29:55
app good for her that she's got multiple
29:57
income streams there you go personal
30:00
training program app only fans that you
30:03
can don't actually have to pay for if
30:05
you follow her on instagram
30:07
Yeah,
30:08
it's so funny because when you get into
30:10
that cesspool of Reddit,
30:12
like everybody's complaining.
30:14
They're all complaining that,
30:15
it's nothing I can't see on Instagram.
30:18
Well,
30:18
you had to pay for it to get
30:19
there.
30:20
So what?
30:22
You got suckered in.
30:23
Yeah.
30:25
What did you think was going to happen
30:26
exactly?
30:30
I just, I found it humorous.
30:32
Well,
30:33
here's the thing is that you got suckered
30:35
into paying for it just to find out
30:36
that it was a,
30:37
it was what you already saw.
30:40
And now you complaining because it was
30:41
what you already saw.
30:42
Well,
30:43
if you were stupid enough to go and
30:44
try to pay for only fans to begin
30:45
with, then that's on you.
30:50
Um, Vicky, I agree.
30:51
Nobody should judge if that's how someone
30:53
makes their money.
30:54
It isn't hurting anyone else.
30:55
I, I completely agree with you.
30:58
Um,
31:02
Me and the homies take bets on which
31:03
CrossFit athlete will be the next on
31:05
OnlyFans.
31:06
Yeah, I know.
31:08
I actually found Christmas Abbott has an
31:09
OnlyFans account too.
31:11
That's unsurprising.
31:12
Yeah.
31:14
When I was diving through Reddit,
31:15
I saw that as well.
31:17
That's unsurprising.
31:18
I think I actually already knew that
31:19
because I think Saban might have mentioned
31:21
it once or twice before,
31:23
which it doesn't surprise me that he knows
31:25
that Christmas Abbott has an OnlyFans
31:28
account.
31:28
Yeah.
31:30
so if jonathan and his friends are taking
31:33
bets on who's next i wanted to get
31:35
in on that text thread because i have
31:38
my i have my own opinions about who's
31:39
going to be uh on there sooner rather
31:41
than later yeah i don't want to talk
31:49
i don't care i don't either um so
31:56
anyway
31:58
Some other news.
31:59
I watched the Froning podcast yesterday.
32:02
I love Rich Froning.
32:04
I love Rory.
32:06
They've always been good to me in person.
32:10
Rich is my favorite CrossFit athlete of
32:11
all time.
32:12
That was hard to get through yesterday.
32:15
Really?
32:16
Really hard.
32:17
And I watched the Rory Froning podcast.
32:21
But one thing was said that for the
32:25
Mayhem Classic,
32:27
they were looking into using the Rogue
32:29
leaderboard to make their picks as to who
32:32
would be invited to the Mayhem Classic to
32:34
qualify for the games.
32:36
And I guess there was a big uproar
32:38
about that.
32:40
And they actually said on the show,
32:41
and Barbellspin has reported it since,
32:45
that...
32:47
People are upset because WFP is included
32:50
in the rankings and that Rory actually
32:55
talked to Katie and they're thinking about
33:00
removing WFP from the Rogue rankings
33:05
because a couple of the top athletes have
33:07
dropped out.
33:10
I mean, that would make sense.
33:12
You would either have to do that or
33:13
you'd have to shave it down to only
33:17
the people that did both,
33:18
if it's going to be fair,
33:19
if the others should be going off of.
33:21
Well,
33:21
I think it's more an indication of where
33:23
WFP is heading and the way it's being
33:25
viewed now by the elite athletes.
33:29
And I just found it interesting.
33:33
It wasn't like to be a big,
33:35
long discussion topic, but...
33:38
Um, he says,
33:39
I still haven't gotten the whole way
33:40
through the video yet.
33:41
Uh, the mayhem one, not the,
33:43
the only fans.
33:44
Thank you for clarifying there.
33:45
Thank you.
33:46
Uh,
33:49
Larry says they always take a while to
33:50
get to the point on their content.
33:52
I, I don't even mind storytelling time.
33:56
Like I really enjoy hearing about the old
33:58
days and stuff like that.
34:00
Um, I just, I don't know.
34:06
I did yesterday was tough.
34:08
It was really, really tough.
34:09
So I don't know.
34:13
Tristan says, personally,
34:16
I don't love that they include Wadapalooza
34:18
in their ranking.
34:23
I'm kind of waiting on that one.
34:26
It's not enough events.
34:28
I know,
34:29
but if you only do the game season,
34:30
then you're just replicating what's out
34:32
there, right?
34:33
And if someone gets hurt and they can't
34:35
do the game season,
34:36
there's no other way to make up any
34:37
points.
34:39
I get trying to include some other things
34:41
in the mix.
34:45
And their own event only invites twenty
34:46
people,
34:47
so you're not getting a huge data set
34:49
from that either.
34:51
Right.
34:51
So I think they've got it.
34:56
I think they have to use some of
34:57
the other stuff.
34:58
I actually, honestly,
34:59
I think the point system is stupid.
35:02
I like the way they were doing it
35:03
before.
35:06
Just invite the people you want to invite.
35:08
You're an invitational.
35:10
I was about to say,
35:11
it literally says mayhem invitational or
35:14
qualifier, excuse me, rogue invitational.
35:16
Invite whoever you want to invite.
35:18
Yeah,
35:18
just stop with the points and stop with
35:22
all the speculation and why did you skip
35:25
this point person who had more points than
35:28
that point person.
35:29
Just invite who you want.
35:32
Call it a day.
35:34
You know,
35:36
it's definitely be the easiest thing to
35:37
do.
35:37
Just, Hey,
35:37
we're going to invite these people.
35:39
And if you don't like it tough,
35:41
we have a bazillion dollars and you don't.
35:43
And that's who we're inviting.
35:46
Yeah,
35:47
because you know they want to invite their
35:48
own athletes, right?
35:50
They pay them to be on there.
35:51
They're going to invite their athletes,
35:53
and they have every prerogative to do so.
35:55
They say what they are.
35:57
Now, if they were trying to say, hey,
35:58
we're trying to find the fittest,
36:01
and then did that stuff,
36:02
that makes no sense.
36:04
But you're just doing an invitational.
36:05
It's a showcase.
36:07
Do whatever the hell you want.
36:12
And they should,
36:13
they've been doing whatever the hell they
36:15
wanted since they've been a company.
36:18
Yeah.
36:19
So like, why, why are you,
36:20
why are you giving out points?
36:21
And, and it just,
36:24
it's literally called a rogue invitational
36:25
for a good solid reason.
36:28
Invite who the hell you wanna invite and,
36:30
and go on about your business because now
36:32
you you're, you're,
36:33
I don't wanna say setting a,
36:34
setting a standard,
36:35
cuz that's not necessarily correct, but.
36:39
You have this point system and you have
36:41
this rogue system or whatnot.
36:42
And now other people are looking at it
36:43
and going, well,
36:44
maybe we should base our invites off of
36:46
that because it's there.
36:49
And because rogue is so highly vetted and
36:52
highly respected and whatnot, it's there.
36:55
So other people look at it and go,
36:56
well,
36:56
why don't we just go off of that?
36:58
Because that's already established.
37:00
It's already a thing.
37:02
Well,
37:02
I think it gets hairy now that Rich
37:04
is like, hey,
37:05
I've been a Rogue athlete for fifteen
37:07
years.
37:07
I want to support Rogue,
37:09
so let's use their leaderboard.
37:12
Now it's being spread out amongst the
37:15
community,
37:15
and maybe that's not what it was intended
37:17
for to begin with.
37:21
Right.
37:22
Also, you want to support Rogue,
37:23
you have been.
37:25
Like,
37:26
you only use rogue equipment at Mayhem,
37:29
I am certain.
37:30
I'm sure the Mayhem Classic has a rogue
37:34
rig.
37:35
I saw Vicky say maybe they should use
37:37
Apollo.
37:37
I bet you Rich and Rory don't even
37:39
know who Apollo is.
37:40
Probably not.
37:43
If I had to guess,
37:44
they have no idea who Barclay Dale is,
37:46
much less Apollo Rankins.
37:48
And this is not a bad thing.
37:51
They have their own bubble.
37:53
They do everything themselves.
37:55
So they don't really know everything going
37:57
on outside of that bubble.
37:59
They have their own media team.
38:02
They have their own team.
38:04
They just don't need to...
38:08
I would love to see somebody on their
38:11
show bring up Apollo rankings just to see
38:14
the confused look on Rich and Rory's faces
38:16
because they'd be like, who?
38:18
If anybody knows Angelo,
38:22
Angelo seems to have his finger more on
38:25
outside the bubble than the others do.
38:27
And I see it like Jonathan saying Rory
38:30
probably knows vaguely.
38:32
I don't know that he does anymore.
38:35
I mean,
38:35
if you asked me that five years ago,
38:36
I'd say he'd know.
38:37
Right.
38:39
But I think Angelo definitely has probably
38:41
his pulse,
38:42
finger on the pulse more than the others
38:44
on what's going on in the space.
38:46
Because he watches the shows.
38:48
He comments on the shows.
38:50
So he knows what's going on.
38:51
Hell, he's on some of the shows.
38:54
Right.
38:55
It wouldn't surprise me if we go back
38:57
and look.
38:57
You probably take a little bit of digging
38:58
to see a show that Barclay was on
39:00
that Angelo was also on.
39:03
That wouldn't surprise me at all.
39:04
Yeah.
39:08
So another piece of news, Gabby Magala,
39:11
Magawa,
39:12
it was announced that she is now at
39:14
TTT.
39:15
She's been there for seven or eight
39:17
months.
39:18
Seven or eight months.
39:20
Adam Rogers.
39:23
And she announced today,
39:25
or someone announced today,
39:26
I think I saw it on the spin,
39:28
that she is doing Wadapalooza.
39:30
Yeah, it was on the spin.
39:34
Yeah.
39:35
Good, man.
39:37
So my question to you is great for
39:39
Gabby.
39:40
That's, that's not the story here for me.
39:42
My story is remember every off season and
39:46
we don't have much of one anymore with
39:47
the WFP going all the way to December.
39:50
I remember in the off season,
39:51
there was always this camp movement.
39:54
Yeah.
39:54
Like people going from TTT to HWPO going
39:58
to proven going to mayhem all this.
40:01
We haven't heard any of that.
40:03
Like when I saw this with Gabby going
40:05
to TTT,
40:07
that's like the first movement I've heard
40:09
all off season.
40:12
Do you think,
40:14
do you think that days of movement are
40:16
over?
40:17
I don't know if the days of movement
40:19
are over,
40:20
but I think until something else comes
40:22
along or some other athletes come along,
40:24
that's going to shake shit up.
40:27
I think everybody's kind of satisfied
40:28
right now.
40:29
Right.
40:30
Right.
40:31
Like the Brute guys aren't going anywhere.
40:35
No,
40:36
I don't think the Proven people are going
40:37
anywhere.
40:38
Proven people seem to be pretty happy
40:41
where they are.
40:42
The Mayhem people are the Mayhem people.
40:44
Until you hear of a new name that
40:46
comes up and, you know,
40:47
I don't want to say burst on the
40:49
scene,
40:50
but like Austin Hadfield is a good
40:51
example.
40:52
Nobody knew who Austin Hadfield was and
40:54
all of a sudden he's a Mayhem athlete.
40:57
I say that John, you're not the first.
40:58
It's been a pretty quiet though.
40:59
Yeah.
40:59
I,
41:00
first I try to block that out because
41:02
I want to bring it up.
41:06
And so I, I just,
41:08
the only time I even think about that
41:09
is when I'm trying to finish up this
41:10
damn documentary.
41:12
And I just, I have,
41:15
I'm having a hard time with that.
41:18
I didn't want to bring it up, Tristan.
41:19
I knew you in the chat.
41:20
I didn't want to mention it.
41:22
It makes me sad.
41:22
So I don't bring it up.
41:26
We still love you.
41:29
I'm just giving you guys a hard time.
41:31
Yeah.
41:32
And for people who don't know,
41:34
just because maybe we're under rock,
41:37
Hattie Cano left Tristan and is now with
41:41
Brute.
41:42
That happened right after the season.
41:45
And it makes me sad.
41:48
Let's stop saying Hattie left Tristan and
41:50
let's say Hattie left Ascend and Tristan
41:52
is no longer her coach because we've
41:54
already had this discussion in like
41:57
Hattie and Tristan were definitely not
41:59
dating.
42:00
So let's keep that.
42:01
Yeah.
42:04
Yeah.
42:08
No, you're right about that.
42:09
He doesn't pay his bills.
42:11
That is a fact.
42:13
That is a fact.
42:16
I am going to go when I get
42:17
an opportunity to go.
42:21
When I head that way for a little
42:23
mini vacation,
42:24
I'm going to go train with him when
42:26
I get out there.
42:29
Larry says it made me wonder if it's
42:30
because Laura's coming back to train with
42:32
Ben.
42:32
I don't think that's happening.
42:36
I think something happened at the twenty
42:37
four games that severed the Gabby Ben
42:46
group from Laura Kristoff in that group.
42:51
And I think Laura is now permanently over
42:54
in Hungary doing her thing at her gym.
43:00
There was definitely some sort of catalyst
43:02
because they were entirely too tight
43:03
before for them not to be anything now,
43:06
which is what seems to be the case.
43:09
Yeah.
43:10
I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll,
43:14
I'll, I'll,
43:18
Uh, Brittany Weiss back at Invictus.
43:21
I don't consider that movement.
43:23
That's where she kind of became famous.
43:26
Hattie moved to Brute and then Nick
43:27
Matthews Kringle to Brute.
43:30
Um,
43:30
Nick Matthews and Kringle's coach moved to
43:32
Brute and they just went along with him.
43:35
Uh, that's like saying that, uh,
43:41
Oh, good Lord.
43:42
Why can I never remember her name?
43:44
That is mind boggling to me.
43:45
But moved to HWPO.
43:47
Yeah, well, of course she did.
43:49
Because Justin did.
43:50
Yeah, of course she did.
43:54
Speaking of Justin,
43:55
this isn't even on my list of stuff,
43:56
but prayers out to him.
43:58
He's been in the hospital for some time
44:00
now.
44:01
I was texting with his wife the other
44:02
day.
44:03
It's been a rough week.
44:05
Apparently, he has colitis.
44:08
He had a flare-up first time in thirteen
44:09
years.
44:11
He made a post on Instagram.
44:12
That's why I'm sharing it.
44:14
If you wouldn't have made it public,
44:15
I wouldn't have
44:16
I wouldn't like, um,
44:19
I've been texting him.
44:19
I've been texting his wife.
44:21
It's, it's just tough.
44:23
Like when you have two small kids to
44:25
be spending that much time in the
44:26
hospital, um,
44:28
and it's been a stress on the whole
44:29
family.
44:31
Um, he's doing okay.
44:31
Just trying to feel better.
44:33
Um,
44:33
so hopefully they get some answers soon
44:35
and he gets home.
44:36
Um, so, uh, with that.
44:40
So anyway,
44:43
the whole premise of that thing was not
44:44
to like say that,
44:47
I think camp movement has slowed
44:49
tremendously.
44:50
I mean, in the last couple off seasons,
44:53
it's been like half the field has switched
44:56
camps.
44:57
And now all of a sudden,
44:57
we're just getting a trickle.
45:00
And it used to be worse.
45:01
Yeah.
45:02
Yeah.
45:03
When people first started noticing that
45:07
there were, in fact, camps,
45:08
when it wasn't just one person was with
45:10
this or one person was with that,
45:12
but there were entire teams of people that
45:13
were training together,
45:15
that seemed to switch up, like you said,
45:17
every year and dramatically.
45:19
Oh, no, no,
45:20
these people are not with these people
45:21
anymore.
45:21
Now they're with that people.
45:23
Oh, no, no, no.
45:23
Now this one's not with that one anymore.
45:25
Now they're over there.
45:27
Yeah.
45:28
it seems to be maybe on a bit
45:30
of a downward thing,
45:31
but I think once I got,
45:33
I was trying to get that point across
45:35
earlier.
45:35
I don't think I did a very good
45:36
job.
45:37
Like when new people roll in,
45:40
I think like, Oh,
45:42
I'm I've been following this program in
45:43
forever.
45:44
Now I made it to semifinals or now
45:46
I'm, you know,
45:46
knocking on the door of a game is
45:48
spot or whatnot.
45:49
I'm going to make that jump and I'm
45:51
going to go to here,
45:52
wherever that may be to try to get
45:53
myself to the next level or whatnot.
45:55
Yeah.
45:57
I think that's what it's going to take.
45:58
And maybe they're going to need a whole
46:00
new crop of people to be able to
46:01
do that kind of stuff.
46:02
But I don't see a whole huge crop
46:05
of people coming in at this point just
46:07
because of the established people that are
46:09
there or pretty solidly in their
46:10
positions.
46:12
Yeah, there's always going to be turnover.
46:15
It's hard to predict when you,
46:17
there's less,
46:18
there's less competitions to see who the
46:21
competition is going to be for the next
46:23
up and summer.
46:24
So it's going to be more of a
46:25
surprise as they enter the fold in these
46:28
years than it was in years past.
46:31
This is Ortega letting us know right now.
46:35
He switched from Brute to Sentinel.
46:36
Yeah.
46:38
Doesn't count.
46:39
We'll consider this your press release
46:41
right here, Jonathan.
46:45
I did want to,
46:47
I do have like a little riff to
46:48
end the show on.
46:52
So I used to,
46:54
I used to run programs in my job
46:56
or run, yeah, like programs in my job.
46:59
And I,
46:59
and then I ran the training team and,
47:02
um, for the state of Ohio.
47:04
And like,
47:05
I was in a meeting today about a
47:06
training that was being done and I got
47:08
PTSD from like the,
47:12
the people that I have to work with
47:14
who do not,
47:16
do not understand what it's like to do
47:20
your job well.
47:25
Right.
47:25
This is going to be a scream at
47:26
the clouds riff here.
47:28
So if there's a policy that says that,
47:33
so we work for the state of Ohio.
47:35
Our goal is to serve Ohio citizens.
47:39
We have a job bank that we put
47:42
job listings into to help Ohioans find
47:45
work.
47:47
If you live on the West Virginia,
47:49
Ohio border and right across the river,
47:52
there's a company that's hiring Ohioans.
47:56
Wouldn't it make sense to allow that
47:58
company to then post jobs in our system?
48:02
Right.
48:02
Because you're getting jobs for your
48:04
citizens,
48:05
even though the company doesn't reside in
48:07
your state.
48:10
So, and that's allowed, right?
48:13
The people on this training want to be
48:16
told the exact mileage across the border
48:19
they're allowed to accept employers to be
48:23
put into this system.
48:28
I come from a world where flexibility is
48:31
good.
48:32
And if I work in that local county
48:34
in that area,
48:36
I know the businesses that are hiring our
48:39
people.
48:41
Like I know that's my job.
48:42
That's what I do.
48:45
And so if you're good to us,
48:47
we'll be good to you.
48:49
Let me have that flexibility to determine
48:51
who those good people are.
48:54
But no,
48:55
they want like a thirty mile radius.
48:58
And then if you're at thirty one, no,
48:59
we're not.
49:00
We can't help you.
49:04
Because that employer at thirty five miles
49:06
may be so damn good that people are
49:08
willing to drive from Ohio down to that
49:11
company for a job.
49:14
But no,
49:14
we can't do that because I'm sorry,
49:16
you're at thirty five miles, not thirty.
49:21
Never mind the fact that their tax money
49:23
is still going to be spent in Ohio
49:24
because that's where they live.
49:26
Correct.
49:28
Correct.
49:30
And your unemployment rate for an Ohio
49:32
citizen is going down.
49:34
because they got a job, right?
49:38
Why the hell,
49:41
why the hell have we gotten to this
49:43
place in the world where it's more
49:45
important to cover our ass than it is
49:49
to serve the people we're supposed to
49:50
serve?
49:54
It goes back to CBG boy.
49:59
It was more important for him to cover
50:00
his own ass, bouncing around the comments,
50:03
doing what he's doing,
50:06
than to serve his people.
50:08
No, let's not serve my people.
50:10
Let's put them out for public scrutiny so
50:14
people can DM them and ask them if
50:17
they're following my plan.
50:20
So it's fear, right?
50:23
Scared of your own shadow,
50:24
scared to do your job.
50:26
Right.
50:27
But if you do your job,
50:27
everything else works out.
50:30
They don't see it that way because they're
50:32
terrified because what if I do my job
50:34
and I do it too good?
50:35
No, I don't have a job anymore.
50:36
Oh, no,
50:37
I got to show that I did something.
50:39
So I'm going to put this boundary on
50:42
it.
50:42
I'm not saying it's right.
50:44
I'm just telling you that's how people
50:45
think.
50:47
This country has been around for two
50:48
hundred and fifty years.
50:50
Has there ever been a time in this
50:51
world, in this country's existence,
50:54
that everybody had a job and wanted one?
51:00
So your job is not going away.
51:02
Because there are always people who need
51:05
help finding a job.
51:09
Absolutely.
51:16
Do your job too well,
51:17
you get other people's work.
51:21
Come on, man.
51:25
I don't...
51:26
I guess I just come from a different
51:28
world where seeing this person who's been
51:30
struggling to put food on the table and
51:33
needs a job and finding them a job
51:36
where they can now support their family
51:38
gives me way more reward than the angst
51:43
of having to do more of the same
51:46
thing.
51:47
Helping more people.
51:50
God forbid I help more people.
51:52
Being able to help more people.
51:59
I literally had a splitting headache after
52:01
this meeting.
52:03
Because we were literally arguing about
52:06
what line should we stop serving people?
52:11
How about this?
52:12
The line that the people are not willing
52:14
to cross.
52:14
Let's go with that.
52:17
That's where it stops.
52:19
If I'm here in Louisiana, it is...
52:26
an hour and forty five ish minutes to
52:28
the Mississippi border.
52:29
OK,
52:31
if that's where my job's at and that's
52:34
what I'm willing to do every single day,
52:36
then that's where I'm going.
52:39
So why why are you putting why are
52:40
they putting or trying to put an arbitrary
52:43
line right there when I still live here?
52:46
All the money I spend that you're going
52:48
to get back in tax revenue, whatever,
52:49
is still going to be here.
52:50
I'm going to be able to put food
52:51
on my table.
52:52
So who gives a shit about how far
52:54
out
52:56
I have to go.
52:57
Other than me.
52:58
The people that are supposedly
53:00
complaining,
53:00
because I have not heard from the people.
53:02
I've only heard from their bosses.
53:04
Surprise, surprise.
53:06
The people supposedly complaining,
53:08
their job is to assess the job market
53:12
in their area.
53:13
They are housed in that area.
53:16
And then to go recruit employers to use
53:18
our system for job postings,
53:21
as opposed to like indeed or some of
53:23
those other places.
53:24
Right.
53:25
Yeah.
53:25
And then we will help with the recruitment
53:28
process.
53:29
We will help with, Hey,
53:30
here's a list of good candidates.
53:32
Here's a list of whatever.
53:34
Right.
53:34
And take off some of the burden of
53:37
an employer and going through a job
53:39
search.
53:41
by doing part of the weed out process
53:43
or whatever.
53:45
If your job is to assess that area,
53:47
you better damn well know who the good
53:50
employers are and who are the ones that
53:52
are actually hiring our people.
53:56
Right?
53:57
Yeah, I would think so.
54:04
Yes, Mark, it's a state program.
54:06
And I've probably crossed a line and
54:07
shouldn't have talked about it on this
54:08
show,
54:09
but
54:10
I'm not giving away any secrets.
54:11
I'm not giving away any names.
54:15
It's just ridiculous.
54:19
I had Social Security four weeks and I
54:21
was told to just go find a job
54:22
no matter how long I had to drive.
54:24
And I'm from Europe.
54:27
Wow.
54:34
Common sense for turnips.
54:39
That's the problem, Vicki,
54:40
is that common sense is not common
54:41
anymore.
54:43
Mark Phillips, no,
54:44
I'm just shocked it's a benefit.
54:45
Never heard of any states doing that
54:47
before.
54:49
Every state has the ability to do,
54:51
it's a federal program.
54:55
Every state has the ability to do this
54:58
program.
55:00
Now,
55:00
they get to make it look however they
55:02
want to make it look in their state,
55:04
but everybody has a part of a grant,
55:07
a federal grant.
55:08
Every state gets money from it.
55:10
All fifty take advantage of it,
55:12
and they can make it look however they
55:14
want,
55:15
but it is to help people find jobs
55:18
and recruit employers.
55:21
In Louisiana,
55:22
it probably looks like somebody's buying a
55:23
Cadillac.
55:25
That's about how corrupt our shit is down
55:26
here.
55:30
Well, you see how well advertised it is.
55:33
I'm involved in the hiring process pretty
55:35
often and never heard of it, Alabama.
55:40
So I would go to conferences in ten
55:45
states in the Midwest.
55:47
And I know those ten states were pretty
55:51
similar in how it looked and felt.
55:54
It had little things that were tweaked
55:55
differently here and there.
55:59
In Ohio,
56:00
we actually have people hired that their
56:02
job is to go out and talk to
56:03
employers about this and to help them weed
56:07
through the candidates.
56:12
Nice.
56:14
So I'm not saying all of them do
56:17
their job super well,
56:20
but we do hire them to do that
56:22
job.
56:25
And I haven't been out on the front
56:26
lines in almost ten years,
56:27
so I would not want to give an
56:30
assessment of the quality in which they do
56:32
the jobs.
56:33
I only ever talk to the supervisors now
56:36
because I'm with the systems team and we
56:38
just try to make the systems work for
56:40
them.
56:40
Right.
56:45
And every bit of that meeting today was,
56:47
this is why I don't do that job
56:49
anymore.
56:50
This is why I'm not out on the
56:51
front lines anymore.
56:57
always a good a good reminder to remind
56:59
yourself why this is why i do what
57:01
i do now instead of what i was
57:03
doing then exactly and i'm very happy
57:05
doing what i'm doing now and i don't
57:07
want to do that anymore yes lord all
57:12

57:14
day don't forget to like and subscribe to
57:17

57:25
Especially the last three days,
57:30
my HRV is steadily just creeping up and
57:33
creeping up and creeping up every night.
57:36
Even last night,
57:37
so I coached this morning,
57:38
so I get up earlier than what I
57:39
normally do, right, by like,
57:41
forty-five minutes or so.
57:43
So, my sleep window is shortened,
57:46
but even in the shortened sleep window,
57:48
I slept
57:51
It was like, oh,
57:52
your REM sleep was higher than normal and
57:54
your HRV is – excuse me.
57:57
I got a notification from Apple Health
58:02
saying that some – or excuse me,
58:03
from my watch that said that some of
58:05
your metrics are outside of their normal
58:07
range, but it was trending upwards,
58:08
like in the good direction.
58:10
I cannot say enough about – like as
58:13
soon as this one gets low,
58:15
I'm ordering a new one.
58:17
Yeah, you got it.
58:18
Thirdsy.com backslash Jazzy.
58:21
Jazzy.
58:25
I talked to my mom last night who
58:26
wants to order some.
58:28
And she goes,
58:29
I Googled it and I was having a
58:31
hard time finding it.
58:32
I'm like, why are you Googling it?
58:34
You watch my lunch show every day to
58:36
see if Corey's on.
58:37
And every day I tell you,
58:39
it's Thirdsy.com backslash Jazzy.
58:44
And I even do the jazz hands.
58:47
And she goes, oh, that is right,
58:50
isn't it?
58:51
I said, yeah, thirdsy.com.
58:53
If you get that far,
58:55
you don't even have to do the backslash.
58:56
And then you go thirdsy.com and at
58:58
checkout, it'll ask you for a promo code,
59:01
Jazzy.
59:02

59:10
mail a couple days later.
59:13
Super simple.
59:15
Worth every single penny.
59:17
Amanda says, welcome to the light, Corey.
59:20
Or the dark if you're sleeping.
59:22
Yeah, I love it, dude.
59:24
I've been making it with milk.
59:27
I warm it up a little bit in
59:28
the microwave so it's not fresh out the
59:31
refrigerator.
59:32
I got my little wee-wee-wee-wee-wee.
59:35
The froth that it makes on top,
59:38
it's so thick.
59:39
from just a little bit of mixing,
59:40
like it's, it's delicious.
59:42
I don't know.
59:43
I like the caramel too.
59:44
So that helps.
59:45
Yeah.
