Lunch with the Clydesdale - The Rule Book Has Been Released! · Clydesdale Media Podcast

0:02
The rule book is out just fifteen minutes
0:05
ago.
0:07
I've done a quick read.
0:08
Not really,
0:09
but we're going to talk about it next.
0:21
I love the chase and the hunt,
0:23
and I set the pace when I'm running.
0:24
I always take what I want,
0:26
and I always give it one hundred.
0:27
Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.
0:29
Play the game like it's nothing.
0:30
I'm always thankful for something.
0:32
Don't take for granted, stay humble.
0:33
Now wake up!
0:35
It's time to look at the enemy.
0:37
Look in the mirror if he is no
0:39
friend to me.
0:40
It's not working out,
0:41
maybe it's the chemistry.
0:43
It's time to break up so I can
0:45
make a better me.
0:47
Hey Cowboy, what time is it?
0:56
It's lunchtime.
0:59
What is going on, everybody?
1:02
I finally made a button so I don't
1:04
have to ruin my voice before every show.
1:09
I absolutely love it.
1:11
Absolutely love it.
1:12
Absolutely love it.
1:16
You've been busy, dude.
1:16
I've been.
1:17
I loaded up some buttons.
1:19
And, you know,
1:20
we wanted the rule book early this year.
1:22
So you're telling me there's a chance.
1:26
literally just saw it literally just saw
1:34
it literally just saw it was looking at
1:36
it we were just talking about right before
1:38
we went live so
1:40
It's exciting, bro.
1:43
Yeah, we wanted it out early, as always.
1:47
They did put out an Instagram post where
1:50
they shared quick updates about it.
1:54
What I'll do is after this,
1:55
I'll do a quick read of the rulebook
1:57
tonight.
1:58
Tomorrow we'll talk about maybe some more
2:00
specific things because I do have some
2:02
questions on top of what was released in
2:05
the reel.
2:07
But I'm going to go ahead and share
2:09
my screen.
2:11
with what they put as the updates so
2:14
here are those uh quarterfinals are in bat
2:18
are back twenty five percent of the entire
2:20
world will qualify for quarterfinals that
2:24
is new or back again from twenty twenty
2:29
four uh so we'll have those back
2:34
there will be a cash prize for the
2:36
winners of quarterfinals.
2:38
There's always been a cash prize for the
2:41
winners of the open,
2:43
but never for quarterfinals.
2:45
So now the top five will get five,
2:48
four, three, two, one grand, respectively,
2:52
respectfully, respectful, respect,
2:54
whatever.
2:56
Easy for you to say.
2:57
For the top five positions in the
3:01
quarterfinals.
3:02
The other thing,
3:03
they are going to do a buy one,
3:05
get one if you qualify for both individual
3:08
and age group quarterfinals.
3:09
So you only have to pay for one
3:12
sign up for the quarterfinals and you get
3:17
to enter both.
3:18
But you have to register for both.
3:21
Right.
3:22
But you only have to pay once.
3:27
Affiliate prizes are back again.
3:29
If you remember last year,
3:31
they gave out affiliate prizes for the top
3:33
performing affiliates and the most,
3:36
the highest number of registered athletes.
3:40
And they are doing even more.
3:42
The more people who register for the open,
3:44
the more prizes there are to win.
3:49
Judging requirements.
3:51
This is where I was diving in and
3:52
I still have some questions.
3:55
At quarterfinals,
3:56
you need a credential judge is required.
3:59
Twenty twenty six judges course or
4:02
advanced judges course.
4:04
And must be done at a CrossFit affiliate
4:06
in good standing.
4:09
Online semifinals back to the two judges.
4:14
one floor judge, one specific judge.
4:18
They must have an L-one or higher and
4:20
the advanced judge's course.
4:24
And it must be done at a CrossFit
4:26
affiliate in good standing.
4:27
So that's the same.
4:29
I was hoping that that was going to
4:31
change.
4:34
I get that you want to promote your
4:35
affiliates.
4:36
I get that aspect of it.
4:38
But the way...
4:40
that that went down last year with
4:43
everything going around in CrossFit.
4:45
I know of people who went to affiliates
4:47
to do their workouts and were treated
4:49
horribly.
4:51
Yeah, I do too.
4:54
Um,
4:54
and so I think that CrossFit needs to
4:57
reach out to their affiliates and say,
4:59
listen,
5:00
we've made this requirement to send people
5:02
your way.
5:03
Don't treat them like shit when they get
5:05
there.
5:05
Just, just,
5:10
Treat them like you would anybody else
5:12
that's doing a random drop-in.
5:15
Yes,
5:15
they are going to require a little bit
5:16
more stuff.
5:18
If it's me, and this is just me,
5:22
I'm not trying to put all the onus
5:24
on somebody else.
5:25
So if I'm going,
5:26
and I know I have to go do
5:27
an online semi,
5:28
and my gym's not affiliated,
5:30
I'm bringing my own judges.
5:33
I'm bringing my own judges.
5:34
The only thing I'm asking you to do
5:36
is let me say that I did it
5:38
here.
5:40
and give me a little bit of floor
5:41
space, that kind of stuff that I need.
5:46
I'm trying to get with the affiliate
5:48
owner, with whoever I need to, to say,
5:50
hey, look, let me work with you,
5:56
or work with me.
5:57
Whatever you need me to do,
5:59
whatever kind of hoops we need to jump
6:00
through or whatnot,
6:01
I'm trying to get that done.
6:09
to the best of their ability, right?
6:13
February, February, February, February,
6:15
February, February, February, February,
6:19
February,
6:44
And then say, when's the French throwdown?
6:47
Which is the week after online semis.
6:50
I don't know when the online semis are,
6:52
Lito, for Masters.
6:53
I haven't read that far into the rulebook.
6:55
Again, I'm at work.
6:57
So to read the rulebook,
6:59
to read the rulebook,
7:01
I was not going to be able to
7:02
get through, but I will read it tonight.
7:04
I know in the elite division,
7:06
they have moved the online semifinal till
7:08
after all of the in-person semifinals to
7:12
clear up the qualification process.
7:17
but I don't know how they did that
7:18
for age group.
7:23
Uh, uh,
7:23
is it going to be a little worse
7:24
with the much higher number of athletes
7:26
moving to semis?
7:27
Unless I'm remembering wrong.
7:29
I don't think there's more people moving
7:31
to semis.
7:32
There are more people in quarters and that
7:34
doesn't have the judging requirement this
7:36
year.
7:36
Right.
7:39
Semifinals.
7:40
You need two judges, blah, blah, blah,
7:42
all that stuff for online.
7:50
Why does Corey sound like my helicopter
7:52
pilot when I was deployed?
7:53
Because we haven't got him the mic yet.
7:56
But hey,
7:57
if you keep buying the third Z like
7:59
you guys are,
8:00
we're going to have him a mic real
8:01
soon.
8:01
Fancy one.
8:04
And I'll tell you,
8:05
I did not take my third Z last
8:06
night and I felt the difference.
8:07
Oh, I bet.
8:11
I woke up last night.
8:12
My mind was thinking about five hundred
8:14
things.
8:16
Thursday quiets my mind down and it lets
8:18
me dream vividly and deeply.
8:22
And all the people I've talked to,
8:23
the REM sleeps are going way up on
8:25
their watches.
8:27
So my REM sleep is up because of
8:30
Thursday.
8:30
My HRV is trending upwards.
8:34
And this is just one week since I
8:37
started taking Thursday.
8:39
I fall asleep faster.
8:41
I was telling you yesterday, but like,
8:43
Holy smokes.
8:45
I'm falling asleep a whole lot faster.
8:48
It's insane.
8:49
Like I can lay down and it's not
8:51
tossed term.
8:51
As soon as I get comfortable, I'm out.
8:55
I was actually telling somebody this
8:56
morning in the six a.m.
8:59
as I was coaching about it.
9:01
And she ended up ordering some herself
9:04
because her sleep has been garbage and she
9:06
wants to do it as she can.
9:07
And she doesn't like melatonin.
9:10
And this has no melatonin.
9:11
She used Jazzy and you told her that
9:14
and she did.
9:17
Yeah, she did.
9:18
Yeah, she did.
9:20
Get you to our portal to order and
9:22
get fifteen percent off your order.
9:27
That's awesome.
9:30
How do you know if the CrossFit
9:33
jim i'm assuming affiliate is in good
9:34
standing or not geez uh that was that
9:37
didn't change from last year jody um just
9:41
like you need to make sure your judge
9:42
isn't good standing we saw what happened
9:45
when you didn't check that and the judge
9:47
says oh yeah i've got my certificate and
9:50
then they're not in good standing and a
9:52
lot of people almost missed out on the
9:54
games
9:55
So as an athlete,
9:57
I would say it's up to you to
9:59
make sure they are out on the affiliate
10:02
homepage at CrossFit.com and that your
10:05
judge,
10:06
I would ask to see that their L-I
10:09
is in good standing and their certificates
10:11
from the judge's course.
10:13
If you think you are going to be
10:15
a semifinals athlete,
10:18
take the extra steps.
10:20
Ask questions.
10:21
Do not just assume.
10:25
that everything's going to be okay.
10:27
It's a terrible idea.
10:31
You don't want to mess around and do
10:34
really,
10:34
really well and then have all your shit
10:37
invalidated because you didn't just ask
10:39
the questions.
10:41
Hey, man.
10:42
I would just ask the question.
10:43
I would want to see paper proof or
10:47
physical proof on their phone or
10:49
something.
10:50
Something.
10:53
Thank you, Joseph,
10:53
for Mira and five dollars for Corey's mic.
10:56
We truly appreciate that.
10:58
A hundred percent.
11:04
Mark Phillips, for twenty twenty six,
11:06
thirty five to fifty four is top four
11:08
hundred was two percent,
11:10
two hundred minimum in twenty twenty five.
11:13
Yeah,
11:13
but that number because of two percent was
11:16
closer to that four hundred than it was
11:18
to two hundred.
11:19
Yeah,
11:20
I do think that it's going to be
11:22
fairly similar.
11:23
The older age groups ended up closer to
11:26
two hundred just because of participation
11:27
levels.
11:28
But like my age group,
11:30
we had a ton of people.
11:33
they qualify for semis.
11:34
Uh, Ken Walters, uh, Scott,
11:38
I just got done watching Savan's show from
11:40
yesterday morning and have a couple of
11:42
questions.
11:43
Are you stalking me?
11:43
How do you know I pose in the
11:45
mirror when I do Cindy and you think
11:51
I don't stalk you, Ken,
11:52
but I've met you.
11:54
Uh, you have the guns of Hulk Hogan.
11:56
If I had those,
11:58
I'd be posing in the mirror too.
12:00
I'm just,
12:00
I just know the mindset of someone that
12:02
is that ripped and buff context clues,
12:05
Ken.
12:11
Um,
12:18
And Lito answered the same question I did
12:20
because she's super smart.
12:24
Also,
12:25
don't use a mat for your handstand
12:26
pushups.
12:27
Yeah, I heard that somewhere last year.
12:29
Make sure not even the thin garden mat.
12:32
So, fun fact.
12:36
One of my very, very,
12:37
very good friends bought a couple of the
12:40
big handstand pads.
12:43
That's like...
12:44
the proper size or whatever,
12:45
like it's the,
12:46
whatever the size is on one of them.
12:48
And he bought one for me.
12:49
I just haven't gotten from him yet because
12:51
he lives in Lafayette and I did not.
12:54
Yeah.
12:56
So if I have to do pushups next
12:58
year for a qualifier,
13:00
I'll have the proper equipment ready to
13:03
rock.
13:05
No, there's Rob, Rob right there.
13:11
And what we'd say to Corey is, uh,
13:20
I'm so glad we're able to use all
13:21
of them.
13:25
I load things up, man.
13:26
I got to use them somehow.
13:27
Yeah, absolutely.
13:28
Absolutely.
13:29
Work it in.
13:31
The size of the rectangle you are limited
13:33
to.
13:34
Yeah.
13:36
Yeah.
13:36
When I was at Polaris,
13:37
like Christy had like an old wrestling mat
13:40
that like you would see in a high
13:42
school and she would cut it.
13:45
and they would lay it and tape it
13:47
down probably like twenty feet wide on the
13:51
wall and then people could just go do
13:53
their handstand push-ups on that wall like
13:56
and line them up like six people across
13:59
and then your hands and your head are
14:01
on the mat beautiful thing um
14:09
Lito,
14:10
about two hundred something ended up
14:11
signing up,
14:12
but two percent from the open was quite
14:14
a large number,
14:15
although I don't remember exactly how
14:16
many.
14:17
Yeah,
14:17
because you have people that qualify that
14:18
do not sign up.
14:20
Yeah.
14:21
So just because it says four hundred
14:23
doesn't mean all four hundred will sign up
14:25
for the semis.
14:27
It was a lot.
14:28
I know for my age group,
14:29
it was it was it was like some
14:32
ridiculous number.
14:32
It was well over it was approaching four
14:36
hundred, if I remember right.
14:37
Like it was a lot.
14:39
Not all those people signed up, obviously,
14:40
but that's how many there were.
14:44
I know I'm not sponsored by Paper Street,
14:45
but got this in the mail yesterday.
14:50
It is delicious.
14:53
I subscribe to them.
14:54
I drink their coffee every single morning.
14:57
And if you want to fly through the
15:01
rest of your day,
15:02
this is as good as an energy drink.
15:06
This is freaking fantastic.
15:08
Somebody was saying earlier,
15:10
I forget where it was,
15:11
but was saying the same thing about the
15:13
frost.
15:13
It was like they had forgotten how strong
15:16
it was.
15:17
And by strong,
15:17
not that it had a strong flavor,
15:19
but just like had you buzzing from all
15:22
the caffeine.
15:24
Yeah, it is.
15:26
Man,
15:28
I do the Soma at the lunch show
15:30
now,
15:30
and I guess I got to do the
15:31
third Z to come down and get some
15:33
sleep at night.
15:35
trying just chemically motivated all day
15:37
long one way or another no big deal
15:39
yeah upper downer upper downer all day
15:42
long uh does it taste like coffee i
15:46
don't like coffee well of course it is
15:49
coffee it just has some oat milk in
15:51
it um and it's more of like a
15:53
latte type coffee than a like a black
15:55
coffee um
16:01
new mayhem podcast worth watching or
16:02
clickbait.
16:04
I'm about a half an hour in and
16:06
I'm saying clickbait so far.
16:13
Uh, so yeah.
16:16
Uh, Jay Birch, good dudes for me.
16:18
I used to be a good dudes guy
16:19
until I found paper street.
16:21
And I'll be honest with you.
16:23
If, if the coffee's similar,
16:25
I'm going to go with Gabe, uh,
16:27
Gabe is one of the nicest guys in
16:31
this ecosystem of CrossFit,
16:34
and I would support him a hundred times
16:37
over.
16:38
So anything close to Paper Street,
16:40
and I love Paper Street,
16:42
so I'm not dogging it at all.
16:45
Anything close,
16:46
I'm going to go lean towards Gabe.
16:51
Oh, Mark went and looked it up.
16:55
you guys even care about this line anymore
16:57
i just looked up at forty five to
16:59
forty nine men and it was two sixty
17:00
five qualified he's one fifty seven
17:03
participate participated i'll let it die i
17:07
thought it was more than that yeah i
17:10
think thirty five to thirty nine was
17:11
pretty close to four hundred um yeah
17:19
Alito, it's a hundred bucks to sign up.
17:21
So my guess is for an online comp,
17:23
unless you're fairly serious about it,
17:25
you won't sign up.
17:27
She was asking about like the French
17:29
throwdown and like how it's after the
17:32
online semis and the leaderboard won't be
17:33
finalized.
17:34
And if you happen to win the French
17:36
throwdown and you also qualify through
17:38
semis,
17:38
which one are they taking and which one
17:40
are they backfilling from?
17:41
Stuff like that.
17:43
Leo,
17:43
I would say that's probably a good
17:44
question to ask chasing them on the
17:47
CrossFit podcast that is fixing to happen
17:50
in like half an hour.
17:50
I just got a notification for it.
17:54
I'll read that tonight for sure.
17:56
I'll have an answer tomorrow, but yeah,
17:58
I'm sure they're going over the rule book.
18:01
Right.
18:01
But they get way more viewers than I
18:04
get.
18:04
So to get your question through may not
18:06
happen as easily as it does here.
18:09
So I will read through it and I'll
18:13
figure it all out for tomorrow.
18:14
Love it.
18:16
I'll be on a jet plane tomorrow.
18:31
Plus the two judge requirement.
18:33
Yeah, well,
18:33
that is definitely still happening.
18:37
It was so weird, dude.
18:43
Ken,
18:44
I support all the small CrossFit
18:45
businesses,
18:46
but I've never been able to from Gabe
18:48
was hoping he diversified so I could.
18:50
There's no need for him to diversify
18:53
because his business is killing it.
18:54
He does say he does sell tea.
18:57
He does have tea.
18:59
The only thing I'm really bummed about
19:00
with Gabe is he used to sell these
19:02
coffee sacks.
19:04
Do they have those anymore?
19:06
Or like a teabag,
19:07
and they've been sold out for a while.
19:09
That's what I have used whenever I go
19:13
to Pennsylvania to see my parents, my mom,
19:15
or travel to my daughters or anything,
19:19
because it's easier than trying to buy
19:20
coffee and carry it in my suitcase.
19:24
Because I know they transport drugs inside
19:28
of coffee to get rid of the smell
19:30
from the dogs.
19:31
That's why I'm not putting beans in my
19:33
carry-on.
19:34
Right, exactly.
19:36
I'm always afraid I'm going to go to
19:37
the secondary search if I have coffee
19:40
anywhere around me.
19:41
I have.
19:42
I literally just got it in yesterday,
19:45
and they come in that blister pack,
19:49
bubble wrap stuff, whatnot,
19:50
and I could smell it through the bag.
19:53
So if I can smell that through that
19:55
bag in the sealed bag that he sends
19:57
it in,
19:58
I am not putting that in my carry-on
20:01
or in my check bag, for that matter,
20:03
just so I can get pulled out of
20:04
line and let's go have a conversation
20:06
about these coffee beans that are
20:07
unopened, by the way,
20:08
because I'm not rolling with them open.
20:10
I just want to end up with coffee
20:11
beans all over the inside of my luggage.
20:14
So, yeah,
20:15
I'll just deal with whatever coffee we
20:17
find when we're shopping tomorrow in
20:20
Tempe.
20:20
Yeah.
20:23
Have you ever gone through the airport
20:25
where they actually,
20:26
instead of going through the scanner,
20:28
they have drug sniffing dogs and bomb
20:31
sniffing dogs?
20:32
In New Orleans, sometimes it's both.
20:34
They'll have a section like when you
20:37
queueing up to go through security and
20:39
they have like a big open section where
20:41
they stop people.
20:42
And then you got to go walk like
20:43
one at a time through it.
20:44
And they got the dogs just walking around
20:46
in there.
20:46
Yeah.
20:47
And then you'll go through security.
20:49
New Orleans is a huge port, though.
20:51
If you go through the dogs,
20:53
you don't have to go through the scanner.
20:56
Yeah, no.
20:57
New Orleans is not that advanced.
21:00
It's also a giant...
21:01
It's one of the biggest ports on the
21:02
face of the planet,
21:03
so there's a lot of shit that goes
21:05
through that place.
21:06
So I kind of understand.
21:09
I'm not usually that intimidated,
21:11
but all these officers with their
21:14
bomb-sniffing, drug-sniffing dogs,
21:16
that was pretty intimidating.
21:18
Yeah.
21:19
Cause it's a long,
21:20
like you're going through like six to
21:21
eight of them.
21:22
Right.
21:24
It was, it was pretty intense.
21:27
It's more than you want it.
21:28
It's more than you want it.
21:29
That's what damn sure.
21:31
It sure is.
21:32
Um, if you, you're heading to legends, uh,
21:42
And I know I'm critical of Bob and
21:43
Joe on this show a lot,
21:45
but my criticism really is about when they
21:48
run the games.
21:49
Right.
21:50
It's not when they run Legends.
21:52
Legends, the event in Tempe or wherever...
21:57
at Arizona state is one of the best
22:00
events I've ever been to.
22:01
I love that venue.
22:03
I love the competition.
22:05
It's their world during that weekend and
22:08
they can make it however they want.
22:10
It's their competition.
22:11
The only time I get,
22:13
I have beef with them is that when
22:15
it comes to games time and the definition
22:17
of what we're trying to do changes,
22:20
we are trying to find the fittest on
22:21
earth.
22:23
And so I,
22:24
i'm excited for legends i wish they could
22:27
stream it at times but they just don't
22:31
no we're not streaming this year either
22:33
well they haven't for years yeah and i
22:36
wish they would
22:38
their ego will never let them because,
22:40
you know,
22:40
they've picked fights with every
22:44
podcasting group in under the sun.
22:47
Um,
22:48
but I wish that you would even do
22:50
like the Brian friend,
22:52
iPhone version or something like that at a
22:57
cheaper rate, but they just, they won't.
22:59
And it's, it really, really, uh,
23:02
really sucks.
23:02
Yeah.
23:03
I absolutely,
23:08
One of my best friends in the entire
23:09
world,
23:11
I sent him the schedule and all workouts
23:13
and whatnot.
23:14
He scheduled once we got it.
23:16
And the first thing he says,
23:19
it's going to be anywhere on the interweb
23:20
for me to see.
23:21
And I was like, no, sorry.
23:24
Wayne figured it out in New Orleans.
23:27
They have to catch those beignet
23:28
smugglers.
23:31
beignets are damn good i'm not a donut
23:33
guy but there's something about sitting at
23:36
the cafe du mal um right beside the
23:39
mississippi river and eating a beignet and
23:42
drinking some hickory coffee good stuff
23:44
brother or chicory chicory right it's
23:47
chicory yeah i know what you meant it's
23:49
fine uh yeah shanna they one hundred
23:54
percent have released the workouts we got
23:57
all of them the other night how do
23:59
you feel about them
24:01
They're all CrossFit.
24:02
I'm pretty excited.
24:04
And when I say they're all CrossFit,
24:05
like last year we had a thirty pound
24:06
wall ball for our age group,
24:08
which is not a huge deal,
24:09
but it's not something that we necessarily
24:10
train with on a regular basis.
24:13
We had drag ropes last year.
24:15
Again, not a huge deal,
24:17
but not something we normally train with.
24:22
Stuff like that.
24:22
The sandbags, I'm always down with.
24:24
I like heavy sandbags.
24:29
And they do tend to program a little
24:31
bit heavier, right?
24:33
We were supposed to have ring muscle-ups
24:34
last year,
24:35
didn't have ring muscle-ups last year
24:36
because of some sort of equipment,
24:38
something or another.
24:39
It happened like last minute, which is,
24:41
again, not a big deal.
24:43
This year,
24:43
we only get them if you make it
24:45
to the final,
24:46
to the last heat on the last day.
24:55
Last year, man?
24:57
It could have been just one lane, maybe.
25:00
Yeah, maybe on her lane.
25:01
I didn't.
25:03
I don't even remember,
25:04
to be honest with you.
25:06
That is.
25:09
The side of the rig that I was
25:12
on, we did not.
25:13
Mr. Jordan Webb, I will see you tomorrow.
25:16
Is it the last year of Legends in
25:18
December?
25:20
So one of the things they were talking
25:22
about,
25:23
they asked on the Zoom call the other
25:24
day,
25:25
Asked Joe if we're still going to be
25:28
doing this in December come next year.
25:30
And he said he was not sure.
25:33
Which means probably not going to happen
25:36
again.
25:36
I believe what he did,
25:37
his full statement was that he was going
25:39
to have to talk to the boss,
25:41
which is his wife.
25:42
And you and I know as married people
25:44
that that means I want to say no,
25:46
but I'm going to put it on my
25:47
wife to.
25:49
The easiest thing in the whole world.
25:52
I told Jennifer a long time ago,
25:54
if she doesn't want to do something,
25:55
you have full authority to tell somebody
25:59
that the reason we're not going is because
26:01
I said I didn't want to go.
26:04
I will add it.
26:05
Especially if you know it's something I
26:06
don't want to do, by all means,
26:08
tell them I'm not going to do that.
26:12
Amanda says, yes, it was awful.
26:14
Amanda,
26:15
what side of the rig were you on?
26:16
I was all the way to the left.
26:18
like closer to the warmup area and stuff
26:20
like that, uh, doing ball balls.
26:22
So I like that.
26:23
It didn't, it didn't affect me at all,
26:27
really and truly.
26:28
So while we're talking about wives, can I,
26:31
can I,
26:32
can I get your ear about something that
26:34
a pet peeve,
26:37
my wife does not listen to the show.
26:39
Right.
26:40
Right.
26:41
Um,
26:43
you know how I love my Chinese ketchup.
26:45
Absolutely.
26:46
Right.
26:47
I'm really the only one that uses it
26:49
in the house.
26:50
But last night,
26:52
my wife used it on a dinner we
26:54
had.
26:57
What's the first thing you do when you
26:59
grab your Chinese ketchup?
27:01
Shake it.
27:02
Exactly.
27:04
Well,
27:04
make sure the lid's closed first and then
27:06
shake it.
27:08
When I'm the only one using it,
27:10
I always close it when I'm done.
27:11
Right.
27:13
So I don't want the liquid to come
27:15
out.
27:15
I want it to be more of a
27:16
ketchupy.
27:17
Yeah.
27:17
I don't want,
27:19
I don't want to catch up this morning
27:20
to go over my broccoli, slaw and eggs.
27:23
And I shake it and it starts shooting.
27:29
Cause my wife ain't closing the lid.
27:34
She doesn't lid on anything.
27:37
Like I'll go to grab like a pickle
27:40
and I'll grab it from the top.
27:42
And all of a sudden I've got the
27:44
lid in my hand and hopefully the pickle
27:46
jar hasn't fallen.
27:48
Fallen in.
27:48
Yeah.
27:49
You know,
27:49
you got pickles and broken glass all over
27:51
the place.
27:53
Like ibuprofen, like middle of the night,
27:56
you just need a little bit of ibuprofen.
27:57
I'll go to grab it.
27:59
I've got to do five hundred pill pickup
28:01
because the damn lid ain't on.
28:07
She never, ever puts the lid on anything.
28:11
I can honestly say I'm so glad I
28:13
don't have that problem because Jennifer
28:14
makes sure, like,
28:15
because she doesn't want to have to clean
28:16
it up any more than I do.
28:17
And it's happened where I'm going.
28:19
It's usually on me.
28:21
I've done, like,
28:23
I get to doing three different things at
28:24
once.
28:24
Same thing, pickle jars I'm famous for.
28:28
Open the lid.
28:29
I might get one or two out, whatever,
28:30
and I don't close it quite all the
28:32
way.
28:33
And I'll go back to get it later.
28:35
And the same thing,
28:35
I'll grab it by the top,
28:37
like everybody does,
28:38
and it'll start coming.
28:40
And it's closed just enough to where when
28:42
I get,
28:43
gravity takes over once it gets off the
28:45
shelf.
28:45
And now we got pickles all over the
28:48
kitchen.
28:49
Mark Phillips, yeah, this is her too.
28:52
I'm the drawer closer as well.
28:54
Every cabinet, every drawer never gets,
28:57
never,
28:58
never makes it closed in my kitchen.
29:01
Every closet door is like left cracked.
29:05
Like, I swear,
29:06
all day I'm closing our closet door.
29:08
Every time I pass to go to the
29:10
bathroom, I'm like, it's open again.
29:12
Close.
29:13
Close.
29:15
I turn off lights.
29:18
I will go through the house and turn
29:19
off every light in the house because why
29:21
are all these lights on?
29:22
There's no need.
29:23
Like, it's so bright in here.
29:24
There's no need for all these lights on.
29:26
I don't need all this light.
29:28
And started leaving things open so that I
29:30
would actually spill them.
29:32
Words would be bad, would be had.
29:35
We've had the words, but I'm,
29:37
I've been almost,
29:38
we've been together well over thirty
29:40
years.
29:40
Right.
29:41
We're coming up on our thirtieth wedding
29:42
anniversary.
29:44
And it's like they say with football
29:46
coaches, like after so long,
29:48
the team just doesn't even listen anymore.
29:51
And so no matter what words I have,
29:53
she is going to tune me out and
29:56
go to her own drum.
30:01
Oh.
30:03
Where's this one right here?
30:05
Hold up.
30:06
Yes.
30:06
My husband tightens his shaker cups like
30:08
someone's trying to steal his purse.
30:09
Now I have to admit, that is me.
30:12
All day.
30:14
All day, everything.
30:15
And this.
30:16
Every time I grab it,
30:17
I'll close it and I shake it.
30:19
No matter if I've shaken it forty eight
30:21
times before that and it drives Jennifer
30:24
nuts.
30:24
It's like it's like why the hell do
30:29
you have to put this lid on so
30:31
tight?
30:31
Yeah.
30:32
This just leaves my blender bottles in the
30:34
sink until I come and loosen them.
30:39
Same.
30:40
She doesn't mess with my shit anymore
30:41
because for that reason,
30:42
because when I close it,
30:43
it's closed in a
30:45
You know why?
30:46
Because if you've never had one spill or
30:51
if you're never going to shake one that
30:54
it's not quite tight enough and now you've
30:55
got stuff running all down the side and
30:57
now it's sticky or the lid's not quite
31:00
closed and you go to shake it and
31:01
protein goes everywhere.
31:03
Next thing you know, Jed's a millionaire.
31:07
That's not good, dude.
31:08
That's not good.
31:10
Well,
31:11
and I think the one drawback to a
31:13
blender bottle is the rubber seals are not
31:16
the best.
31:17
No.
31:17
Like they need to improve.
31:18
So that's why you've got to really tighten
31:19
them down or you'll get a leak or
31:22
a spray when you go to shake.
31:23
A hundred percent.
31:25
It's not, it's not,
31:26
it's not a good thing.
31:27
It's not a good thing.
31:28
And God forbid you don't close it right
31:30
then or clean it up.
31:31
Excuse me.
31:32
Right then, because it is going to stink.
31:35
Stink.
31:35
And it don't take long.
31:37
Yeah.
31:38
Ken, yep,
31:40
my wife never shuts drawers or doors all
31:41
the way.
31:42
She never uses the bread ties,
31:44
just rolls it shut.
31:45
Are we all?
31:47
Fires me up, man.
31:48
Are we all married to the same woman?
31:50
Is that what's happening right here?
31:52
Now, Jody, her sales pitch is,
31:55
all the kitchens I sell have soft-close
31:58
drawers and doors.
32:00
Okay, we have those.
32:03
But you actually have to close them first.
32:06
Like,
32:06
you got to send it on its way.
32:08
And then the soft close part,
32:12
the soft close part will take over at
32:15
some point.
32:16
But if you don't start the process,
32:20
it's never going to happen.
32:22
I'm going to use that line almost.
32:24
At some point,
32:25
you got to send it on its way.
32:26
You got to get it going.
32:30
Just telling you right now,
32:32
there's an ongoing fight in my house.
32:34
So I don't know how your bathroom is
32:35
set up,
32:36
but we got a door in the middle.
32:38
where there's two doors and one of them
32:39
goes in the closet,
32:40
there's a door in the middle and there's
32:42
my sink with my mirror and her sink
32:45
with her mirror.
32:46
And they are separated by a gulf.
32:50
Okay.
32:50
There's a doorway in between,
32:53
but for some reason,
32:56
almost every day I'm taking a flat iron
33:00
off of my mostly clean countertop.
33:05
And it,
33:06
It bothers me.
33:06
It shouldn't bother me.
33:07
It really, it's not that big a deal,
33:09
but like she does her hair on my
33:11
side.
33:13
My, my toilet seat goes down every day,
33:16
every day, every day.
33:17
I don't, I don't, I don't play it.
33:18
I don't play that game.
33:20
Yeah.
33:20
I don't play that game.
33:21
That is not, you can,
33:22
you can get me on the blender bottle
33:24
type thing.
33:25
You can't get me on that one.
33:26
A hundred percent.
33:28
So what I've done is that
33:31
Now, whenever it's left there,
33:33
I don't just put it back on her
33:34
side of the sink because I don't know
33:35
where it goes.
33:36
And if I put it somewhere,
33:38
I just throw it in the cabinet and
33:39
she's going to get mad at me.
33:40
Why don't you just put it in there?
33:41
So I'll go put it somewhere completely
33:43
different.
33:44
Like I put it on top of the
33:45
dryer because if it doesn't belong on top
33:47
of my countertop,
33:49
it damn sure don't belong on top of
33:50
the dryer.
33:51
So let's just go put it over there.
33:53
Washing machine,
33:54
I put it in the kitchen cabinet a
33:55
couple of different times because I don't
33:57
want it on my side of the bathroom.
34:01
I got my toothbrush.
34:02
I got my toothpaste.
34:04
I got my contact or my glasses case
34:06
and my contact little thing that you put
34:09
them in.
34:10
And I got a black plastic skull she
34:13
got me that pumps soap.
34:15
That's all that's sitting on top of my
34:17
countertop and a picture of my parents.
34:21
I don't need I don't need forty seven
34:22
bottles and all this other stuff.
34:25
Ken,
34:26
I love how all husbands are saints and
34:28
do nothing to irritate the wives.
34:30
I know I do stuff to irritate my
34:32
wife.
34:33
I know for a fact I do.
34:34
Sometimes on purpose.
34:38
But generally mine is like a one-off.
34:41
Like I don't do something in that moment
34:45
and it's a once a week deal.
34:47
Like these drawers, cabinets,
34:49
I am shutting them twenty times a day.
34:52
Yeah.
34:53
I'm turning off every light in the house.
34:55
I'm telling you, we go to leave,
34:58
like to leave the house where nobody's
35:00
going to be home,
35:01
my daughter's light's on,
35:02
my son's light's on,
35:03
their bathroom light is on,
35:05
our bathroom light is on,
35:06
and there's three different lights in our
35:08
bathroom to turn on, like switch, switch,
35:11
switch, switch, switch, switch,
35:13
the closet light, the laundry room light,
35:18
like just pick a switch.
35:20
I would do better
35:21
If I just had one master that turned
35:23
off all the lights in the house and
35:25
just put that somewhere because that would
35:27
be easy to do.
35:29
Just hit that while I'm going out to
35:32
the garage and we just call it good.
35:34
Mm-mm.
35:38
I don't think you watch Landman,
35:40
but in this vein, on the last episode,
35:46
there was a scene where Tommy,
35:49
which is played by Billy Bob Thornton,
35:51
is lighting up a cigarette after his wife
35:53
has irritated him to a point.
35:56
And she looks and goes,
35:57
did I drive you to start smoking and
36:00
light up that cigarette?
36:01
He said, no,
36:03
you've driven me to suck the Freon out
36:05
of an AC unit.
36:07
This is all I got.
36:07
I love it.
36:14
Oh, I love it.
36:16
Yeah.
36:16
No, no, this is,
36:18
this is light work right here.
36:20
I'm actually looking for the Freon out of
36:21
an AC unit and be honest with you.
36:24
Yeah, it was the best, funniest,
36:27
best line I've heard on television in a
36:30
very long time.
36:31
I can hear Billy Bob Thornton saying it
36:33
too,
36:33
like in that Southern drawl with the...
36:36
That's fantastic.
36:40
No,
36:40
you've driven me to suck the Freon out
36:42
of an AC unit,
36:43
but this is all I got.
36:51
One thing I wanted to ask you about,
36:53
and it's something that I've thought about
36:54
in a long time, back to CrossFit,
36:56
is Hiller put out his, like,
36:59
fifteen hot takes or something today.
37:01
Oh, yeah, yeah.
37:01
I didn't get to watch it yet.
37:04
Well, in one of the hot takes...
37:06
he gets into talking about one.
37:10
The funniest thing he said was that it
37:13
doesn't matter what programming some of
37:14
these elite athletes would have done.
37:16
They still would have won the games like
37:18
Rich or whatever.
37:19
And he said,
37:19
it doesn't matter if they did Proven or
37:23
HWPO or Comp Train.
37:25
And he goes, well,
37:27
nobody would have won with Comp Train,
37:31
which was funny.
37:31
But then he talks about that.
37:35
James Townsend is the best coach that gets
37:39
no credit.
37:39
A thousand percent.
37:42
That if Mal would have stayed with him,
37:45
he thinks there would have been a
37:47
different outcome, right?
37:48
And that he doesn't get the credit for
37:50
getting her to where she was.
37:52
And everybody forgets that with James
37:53
Townsend,
37:54
Mal finished top ten as a rookie at
37:57
seventeen years old at the CrossFit Games.
38:00
She then went to HWPO and finished top
38:02
three.
38:03
And she looked like she was having a
38:05
good time and enjoying herself.
38:10
Yeah.
38:11
She seemed light, if that makes sense.
38:17
I love James Townsend.
38:20
Why does he get no credit?
38:22
The reason I'm saying no credit is he
38:24
doesn't really have any elite athletes
38:25
signing up to have him coach them.
38:30
He coached Mal.
38:32
She left for HWPO.
38:33
He coached Tudor.
38:35
He left because they got into a fight
38:38
at the games.
38:40
I think if both of them stay with
38:43
James,
38:44
they are in a better position today than
38:46
they were when they
38:49
After they left.
38:50
And maybe because Iowa was Mal's home,
38:54
maybe Mal is in a better mental and
38:57
better headspace.
38:58
And James told me flat out, he tried,
39:01
he told Mal to go home.
39:02
Like he wouldn't let her stay at the
39:04
gym.
39:05
Yeah.
39:06
And she didn't like that.
39:07
She didn't like being told to rest,
39:10
go home, do other things.
39:13
And when she went to HWPO,
39:15
she was allowed to do that then.
39:18
And ran herself into the ground.
39:23
I mean, God bless her,
39:24
but that's what she ended up doing.
39:25
James Townsend is one of my favorite
39:27
people on the planet that I have not
39:29
actually physically met.
39:31
He is raising strong, badass children.
39:36
Right.
39:36
He is.
39:37
He's doing the Lord's work.
39:38
And for all intents and purposes,
39:40
I had a conversation with him yesterday.
39:41
As a matter of fact, on Instagram,
39:42
where we just kind of, hey, bro,
39:45
you're killing it.
39:46
I'm proud of you.
39:47
I'm proud to say that you are part
39:49
of our CrossFit community.
39:51
If those two stay with James,
39:54
I think not only does he make them
39:57
into world beaters at that point,
39:59
I think he helps to shape them into,
40:02
and not to say that Elon's a bad
40:04
person, but into way better adults.
40:08
Part of the argument of Hiller was that
40:11
Rich admits that he's not a good coach.
40:14
When he did it,
40:15
he just kind of made it up on
40:16
the fly.
40:18
And so how do you then coach somebody
40:19
who doesn't have the talent that you have?
40:22
Right.
40:23
Where James didn't have all,
40:25
he was strong as hell,
40:26
but he didn't have the talent beyond that
40:29
to be a games competitor.
40:31
And he was,
40:32
and he worked through it and tried to
40:33
get better at things.
40:34
Right.
40:35
So because he did that,
40:36
he has more experience in developing that
40:40
person who needs developed up through the
40:43
ranks.
40:44
Um,
40:46
And I just thought it was a great
40:47
take.
40:47
Because I've thought that for a very long
40:49
time.
40:50
That James should get more credit for
40:53
getting those athletes to where they were.
40:59
And then this little small town in Iowa
41:02
just pumping out talent.
41:05
In the middle of nowhere, Iowa.
41:06
Yeah, a hundred percent.
41:07
A hundred percent.
41:09
James is the man.
41:10
Absolutely.
41:12
And does not get no credit.
41:14
Because...
41:16
Mal was a thing.
41:17
And then within a year,
41:21
she's up there in Vermont with Matt.
41:24
And that's all, you know,
41:25
people focused on was that, Oh, WP, HWPO.
41:29
And then Matt saying stuff like,
41:30
I'm not building a, I'm building a weapon.
41:36
I bet he was influenced by many of
41:38
his football coaches and approaches it
41:39
with a different mindset.
41:42
I also think that he was so good
41:44
at football that,
41:46
So good at football that it came naturally
41:47
to him.
41:48
And then when he tried this other sport
41:51
and got humbled,
41:52
like he also knows the mindset of going
41:55
from super elite athlete to just another
41:59
guy.
42:01
And not wanting to be just another guy
42:04
wanting to be the same level.
42:07
Like I know I can do this.
42:10
I know I I've done it at on
42:11
this thing.
42:12
Why can't I do it here?
42:14
And then putting all your focus and effort
42:15
into that and, okay,
42:16
what do I need to do to make
42:18
myself good enough?
42:20
And then having these processes in place
42:22
and whatnot,
42:23
which is going to make you a better
42:24
coach, right?
42:26
Like you said, Rich will tell you,
42:27
and he's the first one to tell you,
42:28
like,
42:29
we just made it up as I went
42:30
along.
42:30
Like, he still does that.
42:31
They'll go out to the barn and just
42:32
start writing stuff on the board.
42:35
What do we want to do?
42:35
Oh, well, I don't know.
42:37
I kind of soared from this yesterday.
42:39
Okay, well, let's do this, blah, blah,
42:40
blah.
42:41
He had a brilliant mind for doing that.
42:44
And it worked for him and to a
42:46
degree for his teams, I'm sure.
42:48
They didn't really have coaches at that
42:49
point.
42:53
Before I have to go back to work,
42:55
I did want to share one thing that
42:56
I found today about Peloton.
43:00
Oh.
43:00
And you're thinking, Peloton?
43:02
Yeah.
43:03
Yeah, you got me out of left field.
43:04
We didn't even discuss that.
43:06
That might be a thing.
43:07
When I read this,
43:09
I was amazed at how the similarities
43:11
between kind of what we talked about
43:12
yesterday with like PR pushes behind
43:17
athletes and different things like that.
43:20
I'm going to read this through to you.
43:22
It's like the Lego story we went through
43:23
a little bit ago.
43:24
It's screen by screen.
43:24
Yeah.
43:25
Remember Peloton?
43:26
In twenty twenty three,
43:27
Peloton's twenty five hundred dollar bikes
43:30
sold for five hundred dollars on Facebook
43:32
marketplace.
43:33
They were losing one hundred and eighty
43:34
seven million dollars per quarter.
43:37
And Peloton CEO discovered one shocking
43:40
truth about twenty first century humans.
43:43
Here's the mind blowing insight that saved
43:45
Peloton.
43:48
So I'm going to skip over it because
43:50
most of this, when COVID first hit,
43:53
their revenue shot to four billion dollars
43:56
in twenty twenty one.
43:57
Wow.
44:00
But eventually people returned to gyms,
44:01
creating a crisis at Peloton.
44:04
Four billion is a lot, people,
44:06
in case you didn't know.
44:07
Yeah.
44:08
And this is where it talks about selling
44:10
their bikes for five hundred bucks that
44:11
they paid twenty five hundred for.
44:14
By late twenty twenty three,
44:15
Peloton's numbers were brutal.
44:17
Quarterly revenue was down by half from
44:19
its peak.
44:20
Quarterly operating losses hit one hundred
44:22
and eighty seven million.
44:23
Subscribers were down six percent year
44:26
over year.
44:27
That's when Peloton made the bold move.
44:30
Peloton's new CEO, Barry McCarthy,
44:32
completely rethought the company's
44:33
strategy.
44:34
Unlike typical fitness CEOs,
44:36
McCarthy had been CFO at Netflix and
44:38
Spotify,
44:39
companies that transformed entertainment
44:41
through tech innovations,
44:43
and he spotted something at Peloton that
44:45
everyone missed.
44:46
McCarthy realized that Peloton bike was
44:49
actually just a ticket to join a
44:51
community.
44:53
People weren't taking cycling classes.
44:56
They were riding with their favorite
44:58
instructors.
45:00
So we aim to boost instructors visibility
45:03
on their platform and online,
45:06
but he faced pushback.
45:08
Investors worried about instructors
45:09
leaving and taking their followers with
45:11
them.
45:12
And analysts thought that influencers
45:13
couldn't save a hardware company.
45:16
McCarthy was swimming against the current,
45:18
but he trusted the data,
45:19
not the conventional wisdom.
45:21
McCarthy instructor-centric strategy was
45:24
methodical.
45:25
Encourage instructors to build personal
45:26
brands on social media,
45:28
create tribes around each instructor
45:30
style,
45:31
redesign the app to highlight
45:33
personalities.
45:34
He changed every industry norm.
45:37
The result, within two quarters,
45:39
everything rebounded.
45:41
Revenue jumped twenty percent to seven
45:43
hundred and forty three million.
45:44
Operating loss narrowed from one hundred
45:46
and eighty seven million to forty five.
45:48
Positive free cash flow reached a new
45:50
record at one hundred and six million.
45:53
And it all happened because of one thing.
45:56
Communities.
45:58
And they formed around each instructor.
46:01
One group created a book club centered on
46:02
their instructor's favorite books,
46:04
while another created charity fundraisers
46:06
together.
46:08
McCarthy transformed Peloton from a
46:10
product company into a relationship
46:13
company.
46:17
Community builds more loyalty than any
46:18
product feature.
46:19
When McCarthy repositioned instructors as
46:22
brands,
46:23
he created an emotional connection
46:25
competitors couldn't match.
46:28
The one lie in this is CrossFit has
46:30
been doing this for.
46:31
Twenty years, right?
46:36
Twenty-five years that they have
46:39
competitor that can, that can match it.
46:41
But we're not telling that story and we
46:45
should be,
46:46
we're not telling the story that we have
46:49
this awesome thing where we bring people
46:51
together and we can do more together than
46:55
we can do it alone.
46:57
You want to go fast?
46:59
Go alone.
46:59
You want to go far?
47:01
Go together.
47:03
That's the piece that I think...
47:06
Reading this,
47:07
that's the piece that the marketing right
47:10
now is missing.
47:11
We've got all the catchphrases.
47:13
What the hell do they mean?
47:15
To someone who isn't in this community,
47:17
what does it mean?
47:20
Right?
47:21
How do we tell the world...
47:25
that we are a community that lifts each
47:28
other up.
47:30
You and I talked about it yesterday,
47:32
that have cookouts after Murph,
47:34
that have cookouts after,
47:36
or bachelor parties for a guy in the
47:38
gym,
47:39
or go to the wedding of this person,
47:42
or this couple's having a baby when they
47:44
couldn't because they were so out of shape
47:47
and overweight that they couldn't have a
47:48
baby and now they are.
47:50
And the whole...
47:52
Jim gets around them with a baby shower.
47:55
That's the piece that today's marketing
47:58
isn't touching on.
48:00
Not at all.
48:03
And here's another company that has
48:05
embraced that and look at the turnaround
48:07
that they've made.
48:10
And they're also in the fitness industry.
48:13
They're stealing what CrossFit had and
48:17
making it their own.
48:21
And we've had it forever.
48:24
Forever.
48:25
And we're ignoring that fact in telling
48:29
the story of what this fitness thing is.
48:39
There needs to be some sort of...
48:40
I know we keep repeating this ad nauseum,
48:44
but the two things.
48:46
Number one, stop telling me about it.
48:48
Me being the
48:50
diehard Kool-Aid drinker.
48:52
I'm all the way in, both feet wet.
48:55
Figure out how to tell the people that
48:57
you actually want to get in the gym,
48:59
which you're not the people that are
49:00
already going.
49:02
Two, what you just said.
49:04
Like, hey, why should you come in here?
49:06
Not just because it's crazy hard or
49:09
because you're going to be better.
49:10
It's because you're going to be part of
49:11
something.
49:14
And on those days that you don't have
49:16
it, people are going to lift you up.
49:18
A hundred percent.
49:19
People are going to give you that energy
49:21
when you walk in the door to get
49:23
after it.
49:25
When you didn't think you had it in
49:26
you on the drive to the gym.
49:29
Just show up.
49:30
It's all you have to do.
49:32
Just show up.
49:34
I tell people that all the time.
49:36
As a matter of fact,
49:36
I had that conversation with my boy
49:39
Quentin this morning.
49:41
I was proud of him because he's been
49:43
here.
49:44
A year and a half or so,
49:46
all towed.
49:46
He took about six months off and then
49:48
came back.
49:49
And he's like, man,
49:52
I feel better than when I first started.
49:54
And I said, dude, I said,
49:56
first of all, you can squat the parallel.
49:59
I said,
49:59
you actually have a front rack position
50:01
now.
50:01
Like you can actually hold a barbell.
50:03
You look better.
50:04
I know you're moving better.
50:06
I know you're feeling better.
50:07
Like that much is obvious.
50:10
I said...
50:12
But the point of,
50:14
I guess I just want to get back
50:15
to the point of it's a community, right?
50:18
It's the community that brings you in.
50:20
It's the community that like makes you
50:22
join a flag football team at forty nine
50:24
years old.
50:26
It's a community that makes you go play
50:28
soccer at forty when you shouldn't be
50:31
right.
50:32
The people,
50:32
the conventional wisdom is you shouldn't
50:34
be playing at forty.
50:38
But you want to be with your people
50:39
even more because they've lifted you up
50:42
and you've been through something
50:43
together.
50:45
So you want to spend more time in
50:47
that environment that you go do other
50:50
things even outside the gym that you
50:53
wouldn't do.
50:55
That's the cult piece.
50:57
But they're missing the point in what
50:58
makes it the cult.
50:59
Right.
51:02
I don't even know that they're missing it.
51:04
I don't think they're portraying it
51:06
correctly.
51:07
Does that make sense?
51:10
And maybe that's the same thing,
51:11
but the fact that it's just like, oh,
51:13
cult.
51:14
Yeah, people have been calling us cult,
51:16
but it's really culture.
51:17
You're still not saying what that actually
51:19
is or showing what that actually is.
51:24
Right.
51:26
And I don't want to, like,
51:28
I think Jen has done a great job
51:30
in at least getting activity back up.
51:32
Absolutely.
51:33
Like, so I don't want to dog them.
51:35
They're at least trying now.
51:37
No, not at all.
51:38
They're just a hair.
51:39
They're a hair off.
51:41
Yeah.
51:42
Like a tweak here, tweak there.
51:46
It's, uh,
51:48
it's every coach I've ever had watched me
51:50
do a snatch and then said,
51:52
do that again, but better.
51:54
Yeah.
51:55
Yeah.
51:57
Exactly.
51:58
Do it again, but better.
52:00
It's like, man, you are right there.
52:02
You are right there.
52:03
I just need you to clean up this
52:06
or just that part of it.
52:07
Just make it a little bit.
52:10
It's not even that it needs to be
52:11
better.
52:12
Just make it make more sense.
52:14
Because right now, again,
52:17
I keep saying it over and over again,
52:18
but you're preaching to the choir.
52:21
You don't need to preach to the choir.
52:23
You need to preach to the people outside.
52:27
Jay Birch is cheating on us by going
52:30
over to chase and listening to dig in
52:32
the rule book.
52:34
So, okay.
52:35
Anyway, but that's awesome.
52:38
I'm glad they're doing that.
52:39
I'll probably go watch that now as well.
52:41
I got to go back to work,
52:43
but the one thing that the community makes
52:44
you feel like is a superhero.
52:47
And what does every superhero need?
52:54
So with that,
52:56
Everybody have a great day.
52:58
I got to get back to work.
52:59
You knuckleheads get back to work as well.
53:01
We will see everybody tomorrow on lunch
53:05
with the Clydesdale.
53:06
Love you all.
