  Welcome to Lunch with the Clydesdale.
• 1:02
  I gotta re-record everything for this new
• 1:04
  mixer.
• 1:06
  So today I did it myself.
• 1:09
  I mean... Live and unplugged.
• 1:12
  I love it.
• 1:12
  I love it.
• 1:16
  I love it.
• 1:16
  What's up, everybody?
• 1:17
  Lunch with the Clydesdale,
• 1:18
  Cowboy in the Saddle.
• 1:20
  Only words I remember.
• 1:21
  Dabba dabba doobie dabba da.
• 1:24
  I actually had someone else DM me the
• 1:28
  other day saying,
• 1:29
  your damn theme song is stuck in my
• 1:31
  head.
• 1:31
  I found myself singing in my car.
• 1:34
  Yeah, it's catchy.
• 1:36
  It's catchy.
• 1:37
  I'll catch myself kind of going like this,
• 1:39
  especially after the show.
• 1:41
  I like the line where the guy comes
• 1:46
  in from the background, counting rips.
• 1:52
  That's what this guy does right here.
• 1:55
  That is what that guy does.
• 1:56
  He's very good at it.
• 1:57
  Best rep counter in the business.
• 2:00
  He is highly motivated, highly skilled.
• 2:04
  We love some Andrew Stanton.
• 2:07
  So my daughter came in from Montana last
• 2:10
  night.
• 2:12
  Ready to do all the things.
• 2:13
  Apparently there was some weather over top
• 2:15
  the Rockies,
• 2:16
  and so her flight got delayed coming in.
• 2:21
  It was already going to be a late-night
• 2:22
  flight in for me.
• 2:25
  and uh it got even later and i'm
• 2:30
  sitting in the cell phone lot last night
• 2:32
  like oh boy i hope she gets here
• 2:35
  soon yeah because i'm dragging and then
• 2:38
  the excitement of seeing her and the
• 2:40
  excitement of getting home and getting her
• 2:42
  unloaded and and all that kind of stuff
• 2:44
  like didn't get to bed till one o'clock
• 2:48
  in the morning
• 2:51
  Then chilling out,
• 2:54
  trying to unwind a little bit from the
• 2:56
  excitement, probably one thirty.
• 3:00
  And then my dog woke me up this
• 3:01
  morning at six fifty a.m.
• 3:05
  So, yeah.
• 3:07
  How's it going?
• 3:07
  How's it going?
• 3:08
  Can we go?
• 3:10
  I quit drinking two and a half years
• 3:11
  ago and I would much rather start drinking
• 3:15
  again and have a hangover than not get
• 3:17
  sleep.
• 3:19
  I would take that any day of the
• 3:20
  week.
• 3:21
  So you know what I can deal with?
• 3:22
  Where I get to sleep?
• 3:25
  I take Terzi.
• 3:27
  And you can too.
• 3:29
  Get fifteen percent off your order by
• 3:31
  using code Jazzy at checkout or go to
• 3:34
  Terzi.com backslash Jazzy and get your
• 3:37
  fifteen percent off that way.
• 3:39
  They've got like twelve grams of collagen
• 3:42
  protein.
• 3:43
  Ooh.
• 3:45
  Twelve grams.
• 3:46
  That's nice for a sleep aid, right?
• 3:48
  A hundred percent.
• 3:49
  You don't even have to count those macros
• 3:51
  during the day.
• 3:51
  Just finish your day with a little bit.
• 3:55
  And if you are an athlete like Corey,
• 3:59
  they are tested.
• 4:01
  Their batches are tested to make sure they
• 4:03
  are safe for sport.
• 4:05
  They got the little safe for sport sticker
• 4:07
  on it or decal,
• 4:08
  whatever you want to call it, logo.
• 4:10
  Yeah.
• 4:11
  They're awesome.
• 4:13
  Sean in Oregon wants to hear us sing.
• 4:17
  I've got to memorize the words myself.
• 4:19
  Yeah, you have to wait on that.
• 4:23
  Yeah, so... But once I remember the words,
• 4:26
  man, we will definitely do it.
• 4:28
  I mean, I'm in.
• 4:31
  I have no shame whatsoever.
• 4:33
  It's fine.
• 4:36
  So,
• 4:36
  it's going to be a little CrossFit
• 4:37
  adjacent-ish.
• 4:40
  Okay?
• 4:41
  It's going to dabble in CrossFit.
• 4:44
  And I don't know if you saw the
• 4:48
  clip that Andrew Hiller put out with Tyson
• 4:52
  Bajan.
• 4:53
  I saw that there was a clip with
• 4:56
  Tyson Bajan,
• 4:57
  but I did not see what he actually
• 4:58
  – I saw it while I was at
• 5:00
  Jameson's game last night,
• 5:01
  so I didn't get a chance to look
• 5:02
  at it.
• 5:02
  So I'm going to – I have it
• 5:04
  on my story.
• 5:07
  So I'm going to go ahead and –
• 5:12
  So I'm going to go ahead and play
• 5:14
  this.
• 5:15
  Side of football.
• 5:16
  Favorite athlete, favorite athlete,
• 5:17
  favorite athlete.
• 5:18
  Jason Hopper,
• 5:19
  twenty twenty five CrossFit Games
• 5:21
  champion.
• 5:22
  Favorite athlete outside of football.
• 5:24
  So what is a CrossFit champion have to
• 5:26
  do?
• 5:26
  The fittest man.
• 5:27
  He's the fittest man on the planet.
• 5:29
  He won the CrossFit Games.
• 5:30
  So how that works is anybody and their
• 5:33
  mother can sign up to CrossFit Open.
• 5:35
  Right.
• 5:35
  Which is a which is three workouts.
• 5:38
  You get one workout every week.
• 5:40
  I think you got one workout.
• 5:41
  You got a week to get your best
• 5:43
  time.
• 5:43
  You submit that with your video and how
• 5:46
  many reps you got on the workout that
• 5:48
  they prescribed CrossFit.
• 5:50
  If you get in the top twenty,
• 5:51
  twenty five percent,
• 5:52
  you make it to quarterfinals.
• 5:53
  Then the workouts get a little bit harder,
• 5:55
  a little bit more gymnastic, gymnastics,
• 5:58
  you know, a little bit.
• 5:59
  They start to trim the fat.
• 6:01
  Yeah.
• 6:01
  So a normal guy like me can't make
• 6:03
  it past quarterfinals.
• 6:04
  Normal guy like you.
• 6:05
  So then you go semifinals.
• 6:07
  And then in August is when they have
• 6:08
  the CrossFit Games,
• 6:09
  which is essentially the fifty fittest
• 6:12
  women and men on the planet.
• 6:16
  So.
• 6:18
  Our guy touting the benefits of CrossFit
• 6:24
  and the fun it can be.
• 6:25
  He goes on because I watched the full
• 6:28
  interview last night.
• 6:32
  And not to mention,
• 6:33
  Waddle and Sylvie is like the top sports
• 6:37
  radio show in Chicago.
• 6:40
  Sure.
• 6:41
  Like the top.
• 6:42
  Yeah.
• 6:45
  Not like us, number two.
• 6:48
  They are the best at what they do.
• 6:51
  They are an ESPN station.
• 6:53
  Tons of fans.
• 6:55
  tons of subscribers,
• 6:56
  all of that kind of stuff.
• 6:58
  He goes on to say,
• 6:59
  everybody should do the open because it's
• 7:02
  a way to test how fit you're going
• 7:04
  to be and how well you're going to
• 7:06
  live into the future.
• 7:09
  And every year you get to take this
• 7:12
  test.
• 7:12
  Am I getting better?
• 7:14
  Am I getting worse?
• 7:17
  and uh and he goes on and what
• 7:19
  what else happens in this video that
• 7:21
  hillar did not share is that hillar was
• 7:24
  in the room during the year and before
• 7:30
  while tyson was getting settled in
• 7:33
  Andrew went in first,
• 7:35
  and they interviewed him for two to three
• 7:38
  minutes about what CrossFit is,
• 7:42
  what his part that he plays in CrossFit,
• 7:46
  some details about Tyson's training using
• 7:50
  CrossFit.
• 7:51
  I bet you in the thirty-minute interview,
• 7:54
  CrossFit was the discussion for eight to
• 7:57
  ten minutes.
• 8:02
  So they knew before they got to talking
• 8:04
  to him that they were going to,
• 8:06
  that he was going to mention CrossFit.
• 8:07
  Everybody in Chicago knows Tyson does
• 8:09
  CrossFit.
• 8:10
  Yeah.
• 8:11
  Right.
• 8:12
  His, because at press conferences,
• 8:14
  he says like the big topic initially was
• 8:17
  he said for his birthday,
• 8:18
  he does these insane workouts and here he
• 8:21
  did a burpee mile.
• 8:24
  That is like legend that Tyson did that.
• 8:29
  And it comes up in conversation all the
• 8:32
  time in the Chicago media.
• 8:34
  So the initial question was,
• 8:36
  the two radio hosts said they were going
• 8:39
  to make a bet and they should do
• 8:40
  the burpee mile.
• 8:42
  And then it's Hiller and Tyson trying to
• 8:44
  say, no, you guys can't do that.
• 8:49
  not prepared to just go out and do
• 8:52
  a burpee mile no they are not and
• 8:55
  tyson got them down to you should do
• 8:58
  a burpee hundred yards correct and then
• 9:02
  see how you feel right and it will
• 9:05
  kind of go from there and so um
• 9:11
  It was a great interview.
• 9:14
  Tyson is just a great dude.
• 9:16
  I love my Chicago Bears.
• 9:18
  I know other people are in here dogging
• 9:20
  them and going go, pack,
• 9:21
  go and all that bullshit.
• 9:23
  But bear down.
• 9:25
  That's my guy.
• 9:27
  CrossFit up.
• 9:29
  Well, I mean, that's, that's,
• 9:30
  that's who he is, dude.
• 9:31
  You know, when they, they,
• 9:33
  when it wasn't his press conference and
• 9:36
  what he was going to, you know,
• 9:37
  if you weren't a NFL quarterback,
• 9:39
  what were you going to do?
• 9:41
  I got to teach high school somewhere and
• 9:42
  just CrossFit my face off.
• 9:44
  Like that was just him off cuff.
• 9:47
  In this interview, he said,
• 9:48
  once he retires,
• 9:49
  he's going to become the CrossFit games
• 9:50
  champion.
• 9:51
  Okay.
• 9:52
  Let's see.
• 9:53
  No, no, just kidding.
• 9:56
  Because he knows what it takes to actually
• 9:57
  do that.
• 10:00
  And then he did a whole media tour
• 10:03
  over the last two days.
• 10:06
  He was on another podcast.
• 10:07
  And if you just want to laugh,
• 10:10
  back in West Virginia,
• 10:11
  he snuck into a pool to do a
• 10:13
  pool workout and ended up swimming next to
• 10:17
  a homeless man.
• 10:19
  As one does.
• 10:21
  And he couldn't report it because he had
• 10:22
  snuck into the pool himself.
• 10:24
  Right.
• 10:28
  Like, hey,
• 10:28
  I know I'm not supposed to be here,
• 10:29
  but this guy's really not supposed to be
• 10:31
  here.
• 10:31
  Yeah.
• 10:35
  So, yeah.
• 10:37
  He was great yesterday.
• 10:38
  He talked about CrossFit in both
• 10:39
  interviews I watched.
• 10:41
  This one, though,
• 10:42
  was the biggest and the most widespread
• 10:47
  and really awesome.
• 10:51
  And Hiller was there with his camera.
• 10:52
  So I don't know what Hiller's putting
• 10:54
  together of Tyson content,
• 10:58
  but he was filming this whole thing.
• 11:00
  So I'm sure we're going to see it
• 11:02
  in a CrossFit setting in the near future.
• 11:07
  Anytime Hiller does the, you know,
• 11:10
  whatever, thirty six hours,
• 11:12
  seventy two hours with whoever,
• 11:14
  those are all those have been quality
• 11:16
  every single one.
• 11:17
  So I think it's close to Tyson's birthday
• 11:21
  and I think they they have or are
• 11:24
  going to do the big workout soon.
• 11:28
  I think that's what Hiller is kind of
• 11:30
  filming.
• 11:31
  So let's go.
• 11:34
  And as I did over the phone to
• 11:36
  Tyson from the games last year, bear down.
• 11:39
  Because I'm the biggest nerd in the world.
• 11:47
  That's all right.
• 11:48
  You wear it well.
• 11:49
  You wear it well.
• 11:50
  It's fine.
• 11:54
  I saw some comments in here a little
• 11:55
  bit earlier about the two hundred thousand
• 12:00
  dollar Verizon bill.
• 12:04
  What I want to say is that I
• 12:07
  did not get an advanced copy of the
• 12:10
  glass book like apparently everybody in
• 12:13
  the media has.
• 12:14
  But when you're number two,
• 12:17
  when you're number two or you're Greg
• 12:20
  Glassman's friend,
• 12:21
  you don't get the glass book.
• 12:24
  Everybody else does.
• 12:27
  I have not been able to read it.
• 12:29
  I want to see what's said and I
• 12:31
  want to see what is believable and what
• 12:33
  isn't.
• 12:34
  But one of the lines that apparently is
• 12:37
  written in the book and comes from Jeff
• 12:39
  King.
• 12:40
  Jeff King was the CEO of CrossFit.
• 12:45
  when the media team was let go and
• 12:48
  all of that and uh larry young i
• 12:52
  can send you my copy thanks larry yeah
• 12:55
  there's not even his son's in the media
• 12:57
  space he's not but he got a copy
• 13:01
  um jeff kane jeff kane jeff king was
• 13:06
  a third baseman for the pirates back in
• 13:08
  the day uh jeff kane got him turned
• 13:11
  into my dad always mispronouncing every
• 13:13
  name
• 13:15
  now um jeff kane tells a story where
• 13:21
  greg would go into a verizon store and
• 13:24
  he would buy a person a cell phone
• 13:26
  and put there and add it to the
• 13:30
  crossfit company phone plan that seems
• 13:35
  like a terrible idea and apparently it
• 13:38
  came into like
• 13:42
  a two hundred thousand dollar a month
• 13:44
  verizon bill jeez well phone plans back
• 13:49
  then were like especially if you had just
• 13:52
  minutes like oh got a hundred minutes a
• 13:56
  week or whatever month whatever it was
• 13:58
  like that got expensive especially when
• 14:00
  you started going over and they started
• 14:01
  charging like a quarter a minute which
• 14:05
  doesn't sound like a lot until you realize
• 14:06
  that a lot
• 14:08
  When I bought my teenage daughter a phone
• 14:13
  and they said, oh,
• 14:13
  we're giving unlimited minutes.
• 14:16
  My kid don't talk on the phone.
• 14:20
  Where we got nabbed is we went over
• 14:21
  the data usage every month and the fee
• 14:25
  was huge to pay the overage on that.
• 14:31
  And holy shit,
• 14:34
  the minute I could grab an unlimited data
• 14:36
  plan, I was on it.
• 14:41
  You have to force them to actually speak
• 14:43
  to somebody on the phone.
• 14:45
  Right.
• 14:47
  But the data, on the other hand,
• 14:48
  that's a whole other situation.
• 14:52
  I mean,
• 14:53
  everything my daughter does is on her
• 14:56
  phone or tablet.
• 14:59
  TV, movies, friends, all of it.
• 15:05
  It's ridiculous, but it's true.
• 15:08
  mark phillips wait until nine pm friday
• 15:10
  for the nights and weekends yeah when i
• 15:13
  in my younger days it was like ten
• 15:15
  pm and then the phone rates dropped thank
• 15:20
  god i was a night out back then
• 15:22
  those free nights and weekends but back
• 15:25
  then that's the only time i was awake
• 15:26
  anyway he was on the nights and weekends
• 15:27
  like i worked during the day do dumb
• 15:31
  at night so
• 15:35
  Yeah, MCI, Friends and Family Plan.
• 15:37
  Pick your five.
• 15:38
  Five people you want to talk to the
• 15:40
  most.
• 15:40
  We'll give a discount on them.
• 15:42
  MCI, Sprint, PCS.
• 15:45
  I still wish Nextel was still around.
• 15:46
  Those things were amazing.
• 15:51
  Yes, same.
• 15:51
  Kids only text.
• 15:53
  They'll even use voice to text,
• 15:55
  but they will never call somebody.
• 15:58
  To get my son to actually call somebody
• 16:02
  that he needs to call,
• 16:04
  like you need to physically speak to this
• 16:06
  person, he would rather go,
• 16:08
  like one of his professors,
• 16:09
  he would rather go find them in their
• 16:10
  office than actually just call them.
• 16:14
  It's insane.
• 16:16
  Mark Phillips has nice hair, Corey.
• 16:18
  I woke up like this.
• 16:24
  Legitimately.
• 16:25
  That's all you need, man.
• 16:26
  You just go.
• 16:28
  Yeah, I just woke up like this.
• 16:30
  I woke up with the intention.
• 16:31
  I went to bed last night.
• 16:32
  We got home from Jameson's game.
• 16:33
  I had to cook,
• 16:35
  do a little bit of cooking and whatnot.
• 16:38
  And then we fell asleep.
• 16:40
  And I went to bed with the intention
• 16:41
  of waking up and like, okay,
• 16:42
  I haven't done anything since I got back
• 16:44
  from Birmingham.
• 16:45
  I'm going to go run in the morning.
• 16:47
  Like just real easy,
• 16:48
  just go run a couple miles.
• 16:50
  And I woke up at six o'clock and
• 16:51
  I was like, okay,
• 16:51
  so I guess I'm not doing that.
• 16:56
  Unless they need money.
• 16:58
  I don't call if he needs money.
• 16:59
  He'll text.
• 17:00
  My daughter does go for the puppy dog.
• 17:03
  She'll FaceTime so she can do the puppy
• 17:06
  dog eyes.
• 17:08
  The whole bit.
• 17:10
  To be fair,
• 17:11
  Brody just started working again,
• 17:12
  so he's calling for us.
• 17:14
  But he wouldn't, like,
• 17:16
  he would only ask for money if he
• 17:18
  needed something for something ridiculous.
• 17:20
  Like,
• 17:23
  can I get money to put on my
• 17:24
  whatever video he was playing at the time?
• 17:26
  I was like, no, you cannot.
• 17:30
  Say what?
• 17:30
  You cut the grass and weed eat,
• 17:32
  then we can talk about it.
• 17:33
  But other than that, no.
• 17:35
  Yeah.
• 17:35
  Yeah.
• 17:38
  Uh,
• 17:38
  Hexie lover says next to walkie talkie
• 17:40
  phones.
• 17:41
  Oh my gosh.
• 17:42
  I miss those things.
• 17:44
  That one of those.
• 17:45
  And it was that little bloop.
• 17:49
  Oh.
• 17:52
  I was working construction.
• 17:53
  All the idiots that I know,
• 17:55
  we say that it's true of a lot
• 17:59
  of CrossFit people now that I know,
• 18:00
  but it was the same thing with
• 18:01
  construction workers back in the day.
• 18:02
  The only people I knew that you could
• 18:03
  hit up on a next tail at five
• 18:05
  o'clock in the morning and have a pretty
• 18:08
  coherent conversation with.
• 18:09
  Because if you try to do that with
• 18:11
  anybody else I know,
• 18:12
  they would just either ignore you or tell
• 18:14
  you to get bent.
• 18:15
  but hit that next tail everybody's on
• 18:17
  their way to work and like all of
• 18:19
  a sudden it's like a party line this
• 18:21
  one comes in and that one hits it
• 18:22
  and it's fantastic well what's funny is
• 18:27
  you know they made them for construction
• 18:29
  because they rubber coated them they were
• 18:31
  supposed to be indestructible pretty damn
• 18:34
  near law works on a farm he went
• 18:36
  through like three in six months oh
• 18:41
  I had the brick-looking job where the
• 18:44
  battery would fall off after a while,
• 18:46
  but only if you dropped it from pretty
• 18:49
  high up.
• 18:50
  But you could put it,
• 18:51
  like slap it right back on.
• 18:53
  It would power up.
• 18:55
  And the battery actually lasted.
• 18:57
  You could charge it once every three days,
• 19:00
  and it wouldn't be that big a deal.
• 19:04
  Dex says,
• 19:05
  Corey walkie-talkies me at Magic City.
• 19:08
  We did walk and talk.
• 19:09
  That is a fact.
• 19:12
  Love that dude.
• 19:13
  Absolutely love that dude.
• 19:14
  It's good seeing him.
• 19:16
  I swear to God,
• 19:17
  you guys came from the same spirit animal.
• 19:20
  Oh, a hundred percent.
• 19:21
  A hundred percent.
• 19:23
  If I lived in fucking Birmingham,
• 19:25
  he and I would probably get into a
• 19:26
  lot of trouble.
• 19:29
  You both came from the same Cajun Southern
• 19:32
  unicorn.
• 19:33
  A hundred percent.
• 19:34
  A hundred percent.
• 19:36
  I had a good conversation with Dex.
• 19:40
  So I'm going to,
• 19:41
  I'm going to share a couple of funnies
• 19:43
  and then we're going to talk about
• 19:45
  something serious and then we're going to
• 19:47
  finish off with something fun.
• 19:51
  Uh,
• 19:52
  these are a couple of things I found
• 19:53
  on Instagram that I had to share.
• 19:56
  If you've not seen this,
• 19:57
  this is just pure gold.
• 20:00
  Oh yeah, it did.
• 20:02
  probably wondering how i ended up in this
• 20:03
  situation we challenged our cousin albert
• 20:06
  to get thirty calories on the rogue echo
• 20:08
  bike in under sixty seconds if he
• 20:11
  successfully did don't want the huda to if
• 20:14
  he didn't he had to donate five hundred
• 20:16
  dollars to the charity of our choice we
• 20:18
  expected him to get it next
• 20:34
  Watch your legs.
• 20:34
  That's my favorite part of the day.
• 20:36
  Watch your legs.
• 21:02
  Yep, that's me.
• 21:03
  You're wondering how I ended up in this
• 21:06
  situation.
• 21:07
  Yeah.
• 21:13
  That is me every time we did the
• 21:15
  team series.
• 21:19
  Because I always I didn't want to let
• 21:21
  my teammates down.
• 21:23
  So I always pushed beyond my limits and
• 21:25
  ended up out behind the gym just hurling.
• 21:32
  I have not puked from the Echo bike,
• 21:34
  but I have come really, really,
• 21:37
  really close because Brandon absolutely is
• 21:40
  obsessed with programming just pain on the
• 21:45
  Echo.
• 21:49
  And it'll have you questioned in your
• 21:51
  entire existence.
• 21:53
  Did you see this?
• 21:54
  Dude, yes, that I did.
• 21:56
  That is absolutely the way.
• 21:57
  Is this bad boy up off a marketplace
• 21:58
  this morning?
• 21:59
  Mm-hmm.
• 22:00
  gonna park that out front and i got
• 22:03
  a real good deal on it all right
• 22:07
  um there's something that that i saw on
• 22:09
  the internet that was posted by athena
• 22:12
  perez yep and she is such a good
• 22:15
  writer and so eloquent in what she says
• 22:19
  and and she says this post says way
• 22:23
  more
• 22:25
  about what I've been trying to say for
• 22:27
  a few months, maybe years.
• 22:31
  And so I just wanted to go through
• 22:32
  it real quick.
• 22:34
  And I don't know exactly what specifically
• 22:36
  she's talking about.
• 22:37
  I think I have an idea,
• 22:39
  but I don't want to put those words
• 22:40
  in her mouth.
• 22:41
  Sure.
• 22:42
  And it is,
• 22:43
  I've been sitting with five words for two
• 22:46
  years.
• 22:46
  We're going to burn it down.
• 22:49
  That was what I heard, her voice rising,
• 22:51
  energy escalating,
• 22:53
  and underneath all of it, the vision,
• 22:55
  the numbers, the promise of something new.
• 22:57
  Those five words were the foundation.
• 23:00
  We're going to burn it down.
• 23:01
  I need you to sit with that for
• 23:03
  a moment.
• 23:03
  Not the offer, not the opportunity,
• 23:06
  the foundation.
• 23:08
  Because when someone tells you that what
• 23:11
  they are building is organized around
• 23:12
  burning something else to the ground,
• 23:15
  they have just told you everything you
• 23:16
  need to know about who they are and
• 23:19
  what they're actually building.
• 23:22
  Yep.
• 23:25
  I've been trying to say since its
• 23:28
  inception that WFP was trying to build
• 23:33
  their business
• 23:37
  on the tragedy of CrossFit.
• 23:42
  Essentially,
• 23:43
  they were trying to burn it down.
• 23:45
  Sure.
• 23:46
  Now, to WFP's credit,
• 23:48
  I think there have been monumental pivots
• 23:53
  more recently where they are finding their
• 23:56
  right place and their right size in the
• 23:59
  ecosystem.
• 24:01
  I still am not sure like we can
• 24:03
  support it all.
• 24:04
  with what we have right now,
• 24:06
  but I do think that they have pivoted
• 24:08
  off of this as their foundation.
• 24:14
  But I do think it still applies to
• 24:17
  Metfix.
• 24:23
  I think Metfix came in at a hundred
• 24:25
  miles an hour with this attitude that they
• 24:27
  were gonna take CrossFit out.
• 24:31
  And they never left this piece.
• 24:34
  And Greg walking away as a big indicator
• 24:38
  that this was their foundation when they
• 24:41
  started.
• 24:44
  That is a hot take,
• 24:47
  but I think this,
• 24:48
  this whole thing can apply to so many
• 24:51
  things that are not CrossFit,
• 24:54
  but I think it applies to those two
• 24:55
  things inside the ecosystem.
• 24:59
  Yeah.
• 25:01
  This goes to something I was talking to
• 25:02
  somebody about yesterday.
• 25:06
  If you're willing to do something for the
• 25:08
  wrong reasons,
• 25:09
  you are willing to do just about damn
• 25:10
  near anything.
• 25:15
  Go ahead.
• 25:20
  Let's just throw a for instance out there.
• 25:21
  If you're willing to cheat on your spouse.
• 25:25
  Right.
• 25:26
  You are the,
• 25:28
  the rules that apply to whatever else
• 25:30
  you're doing.
• 25:31
  Probably you don't think they apply to you
• 25:33
  because if you're willing to do that,
• 25:36
  chances are better than not.
• 25:37
  You're willing to do damn near anything
• 25:39
  about anything because you have no
• 25:41
  scruples at that point.
• 25:43
  If you're willing to,
• 25:44
  if you're trying to build something on the
• 25:50
  ashes of something else,
• 25:52
  but you're the one that's trying to burn
• 25:53
  it down.
• 25:55
  then I agree with Athena.
• 25:57
  I know exactly where you stand and I
• 25:58
  don't want to be anywhere near you.
• 26:00
  Well,
• 26:00
  she goes on to talk about the leadership.
• 26:04
  You can't burn down the house that made
• 26:06
  your house possible.
• 26:08
  You can't use destruction as a mission
• 26:10
  statement and call it leadership.
• 26:13
  You can't try and recruit people through
• 26:15
  their wounds,
• 26:17
  raise your voice to tell them they were
• 26:19
  thrown away like garbage,
• 26:21
  and then ask them to follow you somewhere
• 26:23
  better.
• 26:24
  That's not vision, it's vengeance.
• 26:31
  And vengeance cannot produce world-class
• 26:35
  anything.
• 26:38
  She's a very smart lady.
• 26:40
  So as you go through this,
• 26:42
  it even shows more.
• 26:45
  WFP was built on people's wounds from the
• 26:48
  twenty twenty four CrossFit Games built on
• 26:51
  emotion.
• 26:51
  We've said that on here several times.
• 26:54
  And there are still people with that
• 26:56
  emotion.
• 26:58
  And still people that carry that
• 27:00
  vengeance.
• 27:01
  Yeah.
• 27:02
  Right.
• 27:04
  And I would say the same thing about
• 27:06
  WFP.
• 27:06
  Yeah.
• 27:08
  Not WFP.
• 27:09
  I just said that.
• 27:12
  Metfix.
• 27:13
  I think people were hurt with their
• 27:15
  position in the new CrossFit and decided
• 27:18
  we can start something better.
• 27:27
  Whoops.
• 27:27
  Dang it.
• 27:27
  Yep.
• 27:53
  A mission that starts with burning
• 27:54
  something down will eventually burn
• 27:57
  itself.
• 27:58
  The fire that starts as a weapon does
• 28:01
  not stay contained.
• 28:02
  It finds its way into everything it
• 28:05
  touches.
• 28:10
  I know this because I was in that
• 28:11
  room.
• 28:12
  I heard those words.
• 28:14
  I felt what it meant to have the
• 28:15
  most painful chapter of my professional
• 28:17
  life used as a recruitment tool.
• 28:21
  And I made a decision that day that
• 28:23
  I've never regretted.
• 28:29
  You cannot follow a leader who lands from
• 28:31
  poison,
• 28:32
  not because the work isn't real or the
• 28:33
  mission isn't worth fighting for,
• 28:35
  but because what is driving the car
• 28:37
  matters as much as where the car is
• 28:39
  going.
• 28:40
  And if what is driving it is the
• 28:42
  desire to burn something down,
• 28:44
  eventually you will look up and realize
• 28:47
  the smoke is coming from inside the house.
• 28:54
  Appreciate it.
• 28:56
  She's, I mean, she is, she is awesome.
• 29:00
  If you've never read her book, it is,
• 29:02
  it is that gripping.
• 29:05
  Like she, like,
• 29:06
  she's just so good at this.
• 29:08
  Right.
• 29:08
  That's outstanding.
• 29:11
  And so, cause Jody's asking who,
• 29:14
  who is the actual quote from that is
• 29:18
  Athena writing her own experience, Jody.
• 29:22
  Yeah.
• 29:23
  It's not a quote from anybody.
• 29:25
  It's what she lived.
• 29:28
  Now, what the actual,
• 29:32
  who the actual entity is that she is
• 29:34
  writing about,
• 29:36
  I would only be speculating.
• 29:37
  And that's her story to tell, not mine.
• 29:42
  But I'm looking at it as an outside
• 29:44
  observer saying,
• 29:46
  this is the foundation that WFP used,
• 29:49
  and this is the foundation Metfix used.
• 29:55
  One pivoted a bit.
• 29:57
  One has not.
• 29:59
  And the one that is not is in
• 30:02
  grave danger of going away.
• 30:08
  I think anybody's going to miss it when
• 30:09
  it's going.
• 30:13
  I don't even think about it right now.
• 30:16
  MedFix, I do not even think about.
• 30:18
  WFP still has some relevance.
• 30:20
  And I think if they pivot in the
• 30:21
  right direction and build the foundation,
• 30:24
  even though it was late,
• 30:26
  they had the basement doctor come in,
• 30:29
  put up some stuff, you know,
• 30:31
  make it work.
• 30:32
  Short up.
• 30:37
  Jody,
• 30:37
  I'm not speculating anything publicly
• 30:40
  because I don't know who it is and
• 30:42
  it's not my story to tell.
• 30:47
  no i'm saying as an outside observer i
• 30:50
  saw this foundation used in both of those
• 30:53
  cases and i believe that wfp and
• 30:59
  especially
• 31:01
  Brian Friend was on with Hiller this
• 31:03
  morning.
• 31:04
  I think that he made a lot of
• 31:05
  great points in that about what WFP is
• 31:08
  trying to do moving forward and looking
• 31:12
  and doing a lot of self-evaluation and
• 31:14
  making changes.
• 31:17
  He used the example of putting...
• 31:20
  Is it the guy who does Monster Games?
• 31:23
  Jason Ansley.
• 31:24
  Jason Ansley.
• 31:26
  Out as the public face now for...
• 31:30
  That is a huge, huge upgrade.
• 31:34
  As it should be.
• 31:39
  So...
• 31:40
  Jason Ansley is a stand-up dude.
• 31:43
  He's the best public speaker that they
• 31:46
  have.
• 31:46
  A hundred percent.
• 31:47
  In that organization, by far,
• 31:49
  it's not even close.
• 31:51
  He is professional.
• 31:52
  He has no nonsense.
• 31:53
  He has no bullshit.
• 31:55
  He's going to shoot you straight.
• 31:56
  And he never appears like he's hiding
• 31:58
  something.
• 31:59
  No,
• 32:00
  because he's no nonsense and he's no
• 32:01
  bullshit.
• 32:03
  So I'm just saying one of those two
• 32:05
  entities that built on this foundation
• 32:08
  have pivoted
• 32:09
  and are trying to fix the foundation as
• 32:12
  they go, and hopefully it works,
• 32:15
  and it works for some of the athletes
• 32:16
  who need them, the other one, I think,
• 32:19
  is going to fade into obscurity.
• 32:24
  Because daddy took the checkbook and left.
• 32:34
  That is a sad fact, but it's true.
• 32:37
  So,
• 32:40
  Um, but kudos to Athena.
• 32:42
  I mean, I love that woman.
• 32:44
  Um, if people don't know,
• 32:46
  she's been a dear friend, gosh,
• 32:48
  since COVID she's fantastic.
• 32:52
  Um, and, uh,
• 32:55
  I have the utmost respect for her and
• 32:57
  her writing ability and her.
• 33:03
  I know this is a personal story for
• 33:05
  her.
• 33:06
  She shares and she uses that as a
• 33:09
  teaching tool.
• 33:13
  I think she's actually in the process of
• 33:14
  writing a second book.
• 33:16
  I know she's in the process of writing
• 33:18
  a second book,
• 33:20
  the next chapter after the last book she
• 33:22
  wrote.
• 33:23
  And that's,
• 33:24
  it's probably an excerpt from there.
• 33:30
  If I were to venture a guess.
• 33:33
  Good.
• 33:34
  She's very good at what she does,
• 33:36
  and she deserves all the credit in the
• 33:37
  world.
• 33:41
  Third,
• 33:41
  I believe I have two of her books
• 33:42
  already.
• 33:44
  If you have the second one, Vicky,
• 33:45
  then you are special,
• 33:46
  because I don't think the second one is
• 33:48
  published.
• 33:49
  I think it's coming out this fall.
• 33:52
  Probably about the same time that other
• 33:53
  book that we can't get a copy of
• 33:55
  is.
• 33:56
  Yeah.
• 34:00
  We have two books.
• 34:02
  can't say anything because i think let me
• 34:04
  read her first book before it went publish
• 34:07
  and um and i felt so honored because
• 34:11
  of that uh she's a great human being
• 34:15
  so i think with athena we're higher than
• 34:20
  two but with the glass book we're
• 34:23
  definitely not oh no the glass book we're
• 34:26
  probably somewhere around five or seven
• 34:28
  somewhere if i had to make a guess
• 34:29
  somewhere down that area
• 34:32
  so um of course i'm right record this
• 34:39
  clip it vicky said i'm right you think
• 34:44
  we get vicky to clip it um okay
• 34:49
  so last thing i wanted to talk about
• 34:51
  is i finished the hulk hogan documentary
• 34:59
  if you're in it for the nostalgia
• 35:03
  episodes one through three are awesome
• 35:08
  it's really about how he became a wrestler
• 35:12
  the the hype and the glory and all
• 35:15
  of the stuff that was him being a
• 35:17
  wrestler episode four is all the dirt if
• 35:22
  you're looking for the dirt the drama the
• 35:26
  it's all in episode four and that's the
• 35:28
  final episode
• 35:30
  That's that's standard Netflix documentary
• 35:32
  stuff.
• 35:34
  And all the, all the, oh man,
• 35:36
  this is so cool.
• 35:37
  Oh, this is so cool.
• 35:38
  And then like episode four, it's like,
• 35:40
  okay,
• 35:40
  here's all the stuff you probably don't
• 35:43
  actually want to know,
• 35:44
  but I'm gonna throw it at you right
• 35:46
  now.
• 35:48
  Um,
• 35:51
  I don't want to spoil anything,
• 35:53
  but there was a couple things I'll just
• 35:55
  bring up.
• 35:56
  It talks about him being the icon in
• 35:59
  wrestling.
• 35:59
  Without him,
• 36:02
  there is no big wrestling world.
• 36:07
  I think Triple H was quoted as saying,
• 36:10
  without him,
• 36:11
  we'd probably become roller derby.
• 36:16
  He was larger than life.
• 36:19
  And the other...
• 36:20
  piece was a lot of the wrestlers said
• 36:23
  when he was coming up and taking off
• 36:27
  like a meteor everybody wanted to be
• 36:31
  either his opponent or on his card because
• 36:34
  you made a lot more money i would
• 36:36
  imagine so and uh and that was pretty
• 36:40
  cool and then the his famous move was
• 36:43
  the leg drop right
• 36:46
  And they talk about how that did so
• 36:50
  much damage to his body because every time
• 36:53
  he did a leg drop,
• 36:54
  it shot up through his spine.
• 36:58
  And at the last count in the documentary,
• 37:01
  he was at ten back surgeries,
• 37:03
  and there may have been more.
• 37:06
  He used to be six-eight.
• 37:08
  He was six-two when he died.
• 37:10
  Jesus.
• 37:14
  Yeah,
• 37:14
  we're going to go ahead and we're going
• 37:15
  to take three discs out of your back.
• 37:19
  You'll be fine.
• 37:24
  The other thing is it talks about his
• 37:27
  addiction to the fame and the cheers and
• 37:32
  going into those arenas with everybody
• 37:34
  chanting your name.
• 37:36
  Yeah.
• 37:36
  Yeah.
• 37:40
  And it was really hard for him to
• 37:42
  walk away because of that.
• 37:45
  Well, I mean,
• 37:46
  when you got God only knows how many
• 37:48
  people screaming your name night after
• 37:50
  night after night after night after night,
• 37:53
  and if you're that type of person that
• 37:55
  feeds off of that,
• 37:58
  what do I do now?
• 38:01
  You know?
• 38:04
  And then the last thing I'm going to
• 38:05
  talk about is that
• 38:08
  i was such a big wrestling fan as
• 38:09
  a kid like such i went to see
• 38:12
  wrestlemania iii on closed circuit tv at
• 38:16
  the civic arena in pittsburgh and it was
• 38:20
  happening in like michigan right but we
• 38:23
  didn't have pay-per-view we didn't have
• 38:25
  all that if you wanted to see a
• 38:27
  big event you went to an arena and
• 38:29
  watched it on a huge tv
• 38:34
  And that is the, that is,
• 38:38
  that was the WrestleMania where he body
• 38:40
  slammed Andre the Giant.
• 38:44
  And, and, and, and, and, and, and, and,
• 38:48
  and, and, and,
• 38:54
  That's not even in the arena happening in
• 38:57
  front of us.
• 38:58
  That's how epic at his meteoric rise it
• 39:02
  was.
• 39:04
  We all did that.
• 39:06
  And if anybody doesn't understand how big
• 39:09
  a deal it was, the heck,
• 39:11
  he didn't just body slam him.
• 39:13
  He held him up.
• 39:16
  Right?
• 39:16
  And Andre the Giant was what?
• 39:19
  Five hundred pounds?
• 39:19
  At least.
• 39:21
  At least.
• 39:23
  before he bodies landed like there was a
• 39:25
  moment where he's just standing there
• 39:27
  holding him i still have that image burned
• 39:30
  into my brain i probably always well if
• 39:33
  you want to see it again it's in
• 39:34
  the documentary a handful of times i'm
• 39:36
  sure it is so i'm sure you had
• 39:40
  the the figure but did you have sergeant
• 39:43
  slaughter gi joe figure i did not i
• 39:47
  had um i had big john stud
• 39:52
  I had Macho Man.
• 39:54
  I had Superfly Snooker.
• 39:56
  And I had Hogan.
• 40:00
  Hogan equals Froning.
• 40:02
  Probably.
• 40:04
  I would say so.
• 40:05
  Yeah.
• 40:06
  That's the CrossFit comparison.
• 40:09
  I would say so.
• 40:11
  Says Scott knows who Athena is talking
• 40:13
  about.
• 40:15
  I probably do.
• 40:16
  I probably do.
• 40:17
  But again, it's not my story to tell.
• 40:19
  Nope.
• 40:21
  go go get the book that's in that
• 40:23
  what the old commercials used to say it's
• 40:25
  in the book it's in the book go
• 40:28

• 40:45
  wrestling memories mr saco
• 40:49
  The alter ego of Hacksaw Jim Dugan.
• 40:53
  Hacksaw Jim Dugan.
• 40:57
  I'll never forget that either.
• 41:00
  They said Andre the Giant drank LSU fans
• 41:03
  under the table, Corey.
• 41:06
  Hey, bro.
• 41:07
  As much as LSU fans like to drink,
• 41:08
  I have no problem believing that.
• 41:12
  I remember seeing a drink order was at
• 41:14
  a bar and it was something absolutely
• 41:16
  bananas crazy.
• 41:18
  Savon went to WrestleMania one on closed
• 41:21
  circuit.
• 41:23
  Cause we're the only ones old enough to
• 41:24
  know that like we,
• 41:27
  there was no other way back then,
• 41:31
  but it was,
• 41:32
  it was such a cool atmosphere watching
• 41:35
  this thing on TV with twenty thousand
• 41:37
  friends.
• 41:38
  It's phenomenal.
• 41:42
  It's crazy.
• 41:43
  Absolutely nuts.
• 41:48
  All right, guys.
• 41:50
  We have an affiliate master semifinals
• 41:54
  happening in two hours, three minutes.
• 41:59
  I'm not doing them,
• 42:00
  so I have absolutely no idea.
• 42:01
  I believe you, though.
• 42:04
  I know a bunch of friends of mine
• 42:05
  that are doing them.
• 42:06
  That's right.
• 42:08
  Gosh.
• 42:09
  Again, I was up too late last night.
• 42:14
  Yeah.
• 42:15
  I need six more cups of coffee.
• 42:17
  Uh, Nick street rolling.
• 42:21
  Um, let me, why aren't you do like,
• 42:25
  I know that you have some stuff this
• 42:27
  weekend.
• 42:28
  I know you kind of said,
• 42:29
  I put all my stuff into the in-person.
• 42:33
  Mostly because my daughter's got a
• 42:34
  softball tournament this weekend.
• 42:38
  I mean, honestly, that's really it.
• 42:39
  And like just the logistics do.
• 42:43
  I would have to get my two judges.
• 42:45
  I'd have to get everything set up.
• 42:46
  I don't have a fifteen foot rope at
• 42:48
  my gym,
• 42:49
  so I would have to go somewhere else
• 42:51
  to do that rope climb workout and bring
• 42:53
  my two judges with me or make sure
• 42:55
  that they have the two judges that I
• 42:57
  need before I get over there and do
• 42:58
  that.
• 42:59
  But the biggest thing is that I went
• 43:02
  last weekend,
• 43:03
  I was
• 43:04
  All in as far as that's concerned.
• 43:07
  That was my chance.
• 43:08
  And I'm just,
• 43:10
  I got other stuff to do this weekend.
• 43:11
  So we're going to do that stuff instead.
• 43:13
  Like I am,
• 43:14
  I am a man of God.
• 43:15
  I am a husband and a father before
• 43:17
  I am anything else.
• 43:18
  So last weekend was my time to do
• 43:22
  that.
• 43:22
  This weekend is my time to be with
• 43:23
  my family.
• 43:27
  Listen, brother.
• 43:27
  It was that picture.
• 43:33
  Some of the original rope climbs were
• 43:35
  programmed to thirteen feet.
• 43:36
  The shorty wish that would return to help
• 43:39
  out these online comps.
• 43:41
  Yeah,
• 43:41
  I know so many athletes where their gyms
• 43:44
  ropes do not go to fifteen feet.
• 43:47
  Ours go to about thirteen-ish.
• 43:50
  For me, it's touch fifteen.
• 43:51
  I basically have to touch the top of
• 43:52
  the ceiling, like in between the rafters.
• 43:55
  Yeah, Jamie's is the same way.
• 43:57
  The rope's like thirteen and three
• 43:59
  quarters and then you have to like reach
• 44:01
  up and touch the roof to get to
• 44:03
  fifteen.
• 44:04
  Basically,
• 44:04
  I get to the top of the rope.
• 44:05
  I got to reach around the beam and
• 44:07
  just as high as I can before I
• 44:10
  come back down.
• 44:11
  Okay.
• 44:19
  go to br i'll mail a brute shirt
• 44:21

• 44:29

  Who knows?
• 45:00
  I don't know.
• 45:01
  We'll figure something out.
• 45:06
  You don't need a longer rope.
• 45:07
  You just need a shorter tape measure.
• 45:10
  With that,
• 45:11
  that's the perfect ending to this show.
