Lunch with the Clydesdale - Open Number Still Ahead of Last Year · Clydesdale Media Podcast

0:03
Apparently,
0:04
I wasn't the only one freaked out by
0:06
the ring doorbell thing.
0:08
Let's 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 one 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...
0:52
what is going on everybody welcome to
0:54
lunch with the clydesdale a little
0:57
premature there and didn't let my intro
1:00
finish we've already got jody and meredith
1:03
and corey in the chat what's going on
1:06
everybody jody is here in sunny florida
1:11
wow
1:12
What's crazy is it's fifty degrees here
1:15
today.
1:17
I've got fifteen inches of snow.
1:20
It's fifty degrees.
1:21
I took the dog out in short sleeves
1:24
and it was actually kind of nice.
1:26
I am so conditioned to single digits now
1:30
that fifty degrees feels like sunny
1:32
Florida to me.
1:34
So there you go.
1:39
Um,
1:40
I'd probably be sweating my ass off in
1:42
Florida right now and not knowing what to
1:44
do with myself or, uh,
1:46
drinking my air down in Louisiana Lake
1:49
Corey.
1:50
Um, yeah.
1:52
So what's going on everybody.
1:54
Mark Phillips is here through his back out
1:56
Saturday, but he's here.
1:58
He throws his back out carrying the show
2:00
in the comments.
2:00
That's, but we, we love him for that.
2:06
So.
2:09
So there you go.
2:14
Jody's back to frigid Connecticut on
2:16
Friday.
2:17
It's crazy.
2:17
We get one day of fifties tomorrow.
2:19
It's back down in the thirties for like
2:21
two days.
2:22
And then we go back up to like
2:23
mid forties.
2:28
so yeah it's going to be a little
2:30
up and down roller coaster thing for us
2:32
for the next few days but every day
2:35
in the next like ten day forecast we
2:37
get above freezing which is key because we
2:40
need to get rid of all of this
2:41
snow we just like my mom's coming to
2:45
visit thursday and i don't even have a
2:48
place in my driveway because my extra car
2:52
is buried
2:54
I need it to be unburied so I
2:56
can move it at least a little bit
2:59
and give my mom some space to get
3:01
in my driveway.
3:05
Probably tomorrow I'll be shoveling a
3:06
little bit to make some extra room,
3:08
but man, it's crazy.
3:11
Crazy.
3:14
Mark Phillips wants a new back.
3:15
His old one sucks.
3:17
Hey, I'm with you, man.
3:19
From twenty sixteen to twenty twenty,
3:23
I had twelve back procedures.
3:26
I found the right doctor.
3:28
I got everything fixed and I haven't had
3:32
much.
3:34
I haven't had any bad back problems in
3:37
five years, six years, whatever it's been.
3:39
Yeah.
3:43
And knock on wood,
3:45
that's not anything that holds me back
3:46
going forward.
3:48
Now that we've had the sinus surgery,
3:49
we're getting the biopsy done in a week
3:51
and a half.
3:52
And hopefully get back at it.
3:56
Get all ripped like Corey.
3:58
Compete in the sixty plus division.
4:01
There's it is.
4:02
Goals everywhere.
4:03
Goals everywhere.
4:03
Let's go.
4:04
Let's go.
4:08
um lito it's rained every single day since
4:11
the beginning of the year in the uk
4:13
and we've seen the sun for about three
4:14
point five seconds since december that
4:17
sucks uh hell yeah make me rip like
4:25
corey too yeah we all have goals man
4:28
we all have goals
4:39
Uh, Meredith says, yep.
4:40
If I think had one thing fixed on
4:46
me, it would be my back.
4:48
Yeah.
4:48
It took forever, man.
4:50
It was like, I,
4:52
I slept in a recliner for like two
4:54
years cause I could not lay down.
4:57
It hurts so bad with my back.
4:59
Um, it was, it was pathetic.
5:03
Um,
5:06
And I was doing all this CrossFit.
5:07
I lost like two hundred plus pounds.
5:09
I was doing all this stuff and I
5:11
go to lift a damn laundry basket and
5:13
it like that's what set it all off.
5:17
And and then it was just doctoring and
5:20
nursing it and trying to get through the
5:23
next day.
5:23
And man.
5:28
Corey says he's not that ripped.
5:29
I've seen pictures, dude.
5:31
I've seen you in person.
5:33
You're way ripped to me.
5:34
Then way more ripped than me.
5:44
So, yeah.
5:49
I understand.
5:50
I've hurt my back standing up from the
5:51
toilet.
5:52
Yeah.
5:55
The last time my back hurt,
5:56
Stan was judging WF, no judging MFC.
6:03
And I literally had to go to the
6:06
break room and lay on the cement floor
6:09
with my feet elevated.
6:11
on sunday and that's the year we had
6:13
like no breaks um and my back just
6:17
said i'm done on sunday completely done
6:21
and that was like the last time it's
6:23
hurt and that was what like twenty one
6:25
twenty two somewhere in there um
6:34
Ortega says he'll see Corey this weekend
6:37
at Fresh Coast.
6:38
No, Fresh Coast.
6:40
Fittest of the Coast.
6:41
Fittest of the Coast.
6:42
And he'll check out how ripped he is.
6:44
Take a picture, Ortega.
6:45
We need proof.
6:50
Sten says he remembers that.
6:51
Oh, it was so bad.
6:55
Worst judging experience of my life.
6:59
That was my last judging experience, too.
7:04
I tell you,
7:05
I get these spasms like twice a year
7:06
when I wake up and it locks up
7:08
and I can't move for like two hours.
7:10
It's the worst.
7:11
Yeah, I...
7:13
When it was bad, Ortega,
7:15
I used to have a stem machine on
7:18
me just to go to work.
7:20
Like I carried the remote in my pocket
7:24
and I would crank it up while I'm
7:27
sitting at my desk at work just to
7:29
get through the day back before I got
7:32
sent home and got to work from home.
7:35
It was horrible.
7:39
David Reed,
7:39
I ruptured a disc while out on a
7:41
run five miles from home.
7:43
And we are all old.
7:45
We are all old.
7:49
Mark Phillips,
7:50
all these backstories make me feel better
7:52
and worse at the same time.
7:54
Yeah,
7:54
never was I five miles from home with
7:57
a ruptured disc.
7:58
That just seems like pure hell.
8:01
Like just lay in a ditch at that
8:05
point.
8:09
So anyway,
8:10
what do I want to talk about today?
8:14
Let's talk about the WFP.
8:14
So yesterday,
8:15
Will was on with the Rich Froning podcast,
8:16
and they asked him how many people have
8:19
signed, how many people have not signed.
8:20
And he said like, you know, like,
8:20
you know, like, you know, like, you know,
8:21
like, you know, like, you know, like,
8:23
you know, like, you know, like, you know,
8:26
like, you know, like, you know, like,
8:27
you know, like, you know, like, you know,
8:27
like, you know, like, you know, like,
8:28
you know, like, you know, like, you know,
8:29
like, you know, like, you know, like,
8:30
you know, like, you know, like, you know,
8:31
like, you know, like, you know, like,
8:32
you know, like, you know, like, you know,
8:33
like, you know, like, you know, like,
8:34
you know, like, you know, like, you know,
8:35
like
8:36
And I thought I remembered like the
8:38
barbell spin saying only two of the top
8:40
ten have signed.
8:42
And then I read,
8:43
I remembered more carefully that spin said
8:47
two of the top ten games athletes had
8:50
signed.
8:51
So actually,
8:52
like it may be closer to seventy than
8:55
I gave it credit for.
8:57
But in the moment, I was like, man,
8:58
Will is not telling the truth.
9:00
Because if only two of the top ten
9:02
have signed,
9:03
you're already down to seventy five
9:05
percent.
9:05
We're not even talking about the women
9:06
yet.
9:08
But when I look at the leaderboard.
9:10
Actually,
9:11
like a lot of them have signed in
9:13
their top ten.
9:17
So if we look,
9:18
like we know Sprague is signed.
9:20
We know Pepper hasn't.
9:21
Gerrard hasn't.
9:22
Medeiros hasn't.
9:23
Roman did sign.
9:24
Gee signed.
9:26
Tudor signed.
9:27
Chandler, Yona, and Enola Kai signed.
9:31
So really only three in the top ten
9:34
didn't sign of their leaderboard,
9:36
and it's Dallin, Ricky, and Justin.
9:39
And then Jeff Adler said he did not
9:44
sign.
9:46
So that's four of the top twenty.
9:47
They've invited three of the next ten.
9:52
So they're one shy at this point if
9:55
everybody else signed.
9:59
But they have announced anything on the
10:01
women's side.
10:03
On the women's side of the top ten,
10:04
the only one we know has signed is
10:07
Emma Tall.
10:08
And the only one we know hasn't signed
10:10
is Lucy Campbell.
10:15
We know Lucy Campbell said no,
10:17
and we know Emma Tall said yes.
10:19
The other eight,
10:20
we have no idea on the women's side
10:22
if they have signed or not.
10:24
And why are they waiting?
10:29
Why are they waiting?
10:33
It makes no sense.
10:34
Like,
10:37
Are they trying to hide something?
10:38
Because once you get to Andrea Solberg,
10:41
we know she signed.
10:42
Lydia Fish did.
10:43
Sydney did.
10:44
Emily did.
10:48
And then we know Oda did.
10:51
And that's all we know.
10:52
So there's a lot of gaps here.
10:55
We don't know Ella.
10:56
We don't know Jennifer.
10:57
We don't know Mano.
10:58
We don't know Hannah.
11:00
And we don't know Danny Spiegel.
11:01
And then we only know one has in
11:04
the top ten.
11:07
So it is,
11:11
it's crazy that they haven't released more
11:13
information about that.
11:19
Grace is fifteen forty says maybe people
11:20
are trying to negotiate.
11:22
The new rule is that you don't get
11:23
to negotiate anymore.
11:25
That where you finish.
11:27
is what um salary you make now so
11:31
first place got a hundred thousand dollar
11:33
contract so james sprague won the tour
11:36
last year means he gets a hundred thousand
11:39
dollar contract going into this year it's
11:42
not negotiated anymore you have to you get
11:46
what you earned from the previous season
11:49
now with all the people withdrawing you
11:51
can move up
11:53
And maybe your number is different than
11:55
you thought it would be.
11:56
Maybe you finished fourth,
11:59
but you moved up to second.
12:01
So now you're making an eighty thousand
12:03
dollar contract instead of a sixty.
12:06
But you cannot negotiate.
12:07
It's where you finished.
12:17
Corey says Mano Anganese is my favorite
12:19
element on the periodic table.
12:20
Isn't that wild?
12:21
She has a crazy name.
12:23
She's a fun person to talk to.
12:26
Really fun.
12:41
Okay.
12:45
John George, I finished tenth,
12:48
but are now the number two.
12:49
Do I get number two money or ten
12:51
money?
12:51
You get the two money, John.
12:59
And it happens because we know like Nick
13:05
Matthew, Colin Bossard,
13:07
and one other person that was outside the
13:10
top twenty have been invited.
13:12
So they're not going to come without
13:14
money.
13:16
Oh, Luka Djokic.
13:20
So those three were invited.
13:22
There was no money for twenty-first,
13:24
twenty-second, or twenty-third.
13:26
There now is.
13:34
So, Grace,
13:35
the other thing is it was said publicly
13:38
that their window has closed.
13:40
So they know who is signed and who
13:42
hasn't.
13:43
They had a window to sign their contract
13:45
or not.
13:46
And that has ended for the initial forty
13:49
athletes who earned a pro card.
13:52
Now we're just waiting to see who it
13:54
is because they haven't announced it.
13:55
Now they've made two announcements with a
14:01
media release,
14:03
and it listed all the people that we
14:06
know for sure,
14:08
but there's a good chunk we have no
14:09
idea whether they are or not.
14:14
Seamus says,
14:15
is WFP like the minor leagues?
14:17
I think it's become the developmental
14:19
league for sure.
14:21
And I think that's the right size for
14:22
it.
14:23
And I was thinking about this last night
14:25
and this morning.
14:26
You know,
14:27
when the USFL first came into football in
14:30
the early eighties,
14:31
they tried to compete directly with the
14:33
NFL and they got thumped.
14:36
Then they moved to a different part of
14:37
the year, a different season.
14:40
And they actually started to make money
14:43
and move in a direction that was
14:45
successful.
14:47
And with that,
14:48
they actually started gaining talent.
14:50
They were able to sign people away from
14:52
the NFL to their league.
14:56
Then they tried to sue the NFL and
14:58
they put so much money in that basket
15:00
and they actually won.
15:02
But the money awarded to them was so
15:05
nominal.
15:05
It was like three dollars or it was
15:08
ridiculous.
15:10
Even though they won the verdict,
15:11
it bankrupted them.
15:16
So I think that it's very similar to
15:18
what's happening.
15:20
With W.F.P.
15:23
WFP tried to go head-to-head with the
15:27
CrossFit Games season.
15:30
After one year,
15:31
I think the athletes decided they can't do
15:33
both,
15:33
and many of them decided that it was
15:36
more conducive to do the CrossFit Games
15:38
season than to do the WFP season.
15:45
So now the people that are doing WFP
15:47
are those people that
15:50
don't realistically have a shot at winning
15:53
the CrossFit Games.
15:54
Because winning the CrossFit Games is more
15:56
money than you can make at either one
15:58
of the leagues, seasons, whatever.
16:04
If you don't have a legit shot at
16:06
winning,
16:07
this is a great place to develop your
16:08
skills.
16:10
And where the WFP needs to capitalize on
16:13
this is to create a brand loyalty,
16:17
treat these athletes so well,
16:20
and give them this guaranteed money to
16:24
work on their skills, to get better,
16:27
to move up the ranks as a top-end
16:29
athlete,
16:31
and then treat them so well that they
16:33
don't want to leave you,
16:34
that they want to keep playing in your
16:37
sport.
16:40
That's the way they have to move going
16:44
forward.
16:45
Instead of coming in and owning everything
16:48
and thinking you can take over everything,
16:50
now you have to develop this league.
16:53
Now you're going to take...
16:55
And we're not talking bad athletes.
16:57
We're just talking about not top ten
17:00
athletes.
17:01
And again,
17:01
we don't know what's happening on the
17:02
women's side.
17:03
We still have to wait for that.
17:05
But on the men's side,
17:07
you have a couple top ten athletes,
17:09
and then you have a lot of those
17:10
people that finished eleven through thirty
17:14
at the CrossFit Games.
17:16
Can you develop them?
17:18
Can you develop brand loyalty?
17:20
Can you make it worth their while to
17:23
stick around with you?
17:28
That's their only shot now.
17:32
And maybe,
17:34
maybe through the development of what
17:37
they've done,
17:38
it's right-sized them to a place where
17:41
they can succeed more.
17:50
And I think that that is what's happening.
17:52
And I hope that they look in the
17:54
mirror and they look at this and say,
17:58
This is our strategy going forward.
18:00
We're not going to try to take over
18:01
the world.
18:02
We're going to build our brand and try
18:05
to advance forward with what we have.
18:14
David Reed says,
18:15
WFP is D-II to the CrossFit Games D-I.
18:19
I don't think it's that far of a
18:21
jump though, David.
18:22
I think it is...
18:25
The CrossFit Games are the Big Ten.
18:29
And WFP is the ACC.
18:36
ACC.
18:40
Because WP is still playing with James
18:42
Bragg, Roman Krennikoff.
18:44
You've got Nick Matthew and Nate Ackerman
18:48
and BKG, Ty Jenkins, Pat Vellner,
18:53
Yellow Hosta, Colton Mertens, Jack Farlow,
18:56
Chandler Smith, Yona Koski.
18:59
Those are...
19:01
still high-end athletes.
19:04
They just are none of the people you're
19:05
going to roll off the tip of your
19:07
tongue and say they have a shot at
19:09
winning the CrossFit Games.
19:14
But they're going to be competitive and on
19:16
any given event or any given Sunday or
19:18
any given whatever you want to call it
19:21
could win an event.
19:32
And Roman and James gives it some
19:33
legitimacy.
19:37
Now again,
19:37
we have no idea what it's going to
19:39
be like on the women's side because they
19:40
have not announced all of those moves yet.
19:48
I think you're making my point when D-I
19:50
athletes compete against D-II, they win.
19:52
Yeah, but here's what...
19:54
I just think you made the leap between
19:56
the two.
19:57
D-I to D-II is too big of a
20:00
gap.
20:00
It's not that big of a gap.
20:03
It is like a powerhouse Big Ten conference
20:06
or SEC versus the ACC.
20:10
It's not that Pitt can't beat Penn State
20:14
or can't beat Ohio State.
20:16
It's just Ohio State's going to be
20:17
favored.
20:19
Like Colton Mertens could win any weekend
20:25
if the programming is right.
20:28
But James Sprague is going to be favored
20:30
over Colton Mertens in almost all
20:33
situations.
20:35
It doesn't mean Colton can't win,
20:38
and Colton will win aspects of that.
20:42
He just may not win that entire weekend.
20:53
So the gap is not like Corey and
20:55
I.
20:55
Corey being Big Ten and me being JMU.
21:00
Exactly.
21:05
And someone like Colton signing is
21:08
actually like a big coup for the WFP.
21:12
The man has a ton of followers.
21:14
He is...
21:16
great on screen,
21:18
he is going to win events,
21:20
and he is so popular,
21:22
and he's going to do it with a
21:23
big crowd,
21:25
and it's people like that that can take
21:27
advantage of this money,
21:29
this opportunity to advance their career.
21:37
I think it's just the WFP being kind
21:41
of smacked in the face to say...
21:45
This is where you should have been all
21:46
along.
21:49
Trying to take on the games was a
21:50
big mistake.
21:51
No matter how much money you have,
21:54
the games has prestige.
21:56
It has time.
21:58
It has time-honored tradition.
22:00
It has all of those things that you
22:02
can't buy.
22:05
And they tried to buy their way in.
22:11
And, Corey,
22:11
you are not the Little Sisters of the
22:13
Blind.
22:13
You are not.
22:18
So I know I bash on the WFP
22:22
a lot.
22:24
I criticize.
22:25
I don't hate them.
22:27
I want them to succeed.
22:29
I want these athletes to have some
22:31
opportunity they never had before.
22:34
I've always been a champion for that next
22:36
tier of athletes that don't get all the
22:39
sponsorship dollars that the top end
22:41
athletes do.
22:43
And to actually make some money,
22:46
develop themselves, develop their career,
22:49
and then maybe,
22:50
maybe WFP can actually create some brand
22:52
loyalty to them over CrossFit.
22:57
But they're going to have to work to
22:58
do that.
23:07
NAI,
23:07
but telling WFP investors you're going to
23:09
be second will cut off the bank funds
23:11
quickly.
23:13
I think the dynamic of the WFP funds
23:17
and who's supplying them is different than
23:19
a typical business.
23:21
It's not generally your parents funding
23:26
your business venture.
23:28
It is usually like investors who are
23:30
trying to make their money back.
23:32
Here,
23:33
it's a parents trying to help their kids
23:36
be successful.
23:38
And maybe, just maybe,
23:40
being successful is taking a step back
23:42
before you take two steps forward.
23:46
They still got James Sprague to sign.
23:49
They still got Roman Krennikoff to sign.
23:51
They got Colton Mertens.
23:54
They got Chandler Smith.
23:56
They've got people that are popular in the
23:58
sport to sign.
24:00
That's why I'm saying the gap isn't as
24:02
big as D-I to D-II.
24:08
The gap is much smaller than that.
24:11
But they're going to have to work if
24:12
they want to compete.
24:14
They're just going to have to work.
24:20
And in the water is wet category,
24:25
Kenneth DeLapp says Colton is good enough
24:26
for me to watch.
24:30
Yeah, we know Kenneth.
24:33
Nobody has a bigger supporter than
24:35
Nobody is a bigger supporter of an athlete
24:37
than you are of Colton.
24:43
Everybody in the world should find someone
24:45
who loves them as much as Kenneth loves
24:47
Colton.
24:52
It would make us all a big, happy,
24:56
loving family.
25:01
So the other thing I have to,
25:03
I have to a one o'clock meeting today.
25:05
So I'm going to keep this a little
25:06
bit shorter today.
25:09
Corey sent me.
25:15
Water actually isn't wet.
25:17
It just makes other things wet.
25:20
There's always that one person,
25:22
always that one person.
25:24
Yeah.
25:30
the ring doorbell camera we talked about
25:31
yesterday corey sent me a post apparently
25:34
i am not the only one freaking out
25:35
about this there are several people
25:39
freaking out about this technology and the
25:42
ai cluster of ring doorbell cameras able
25:46
to find your lost dog um ring came
25:50
out and said
25:54
just like Vicki did yesterday,
25:56
that it is an exclusively you have to
26:00
opt in to get this thing.
26:03
In addition,
26:04
it is only to be used on animals.
26:08
Now,
26:09
if it can find an animal using AI,
26:15
how far of a stretch are we until
26:17
that becomes a human?
26:23
I am very,
26:24
very reluctant to think this is a good
26:27
thing.
26:29
Again, yesterday I said,
26:31
this is very person of interest.
26:33
The TV show person of interest for me.
26:36
I it's,
26:38
it's like the beginning of that big
26:40
brother, somebody watching and, um,
26:44
collecting that data to know everybody's,
26:47
uh, every single move.
26:50
Um,
26:54
I am just not a fan of this
26:56
at all.
27:02
At AI,
27:02
I got rid of ring and blink a
27:04
long time ago.
27:04
IT nerd here.
27:06
Local storage only.
27:08
Yeah.
27:10
Yeah,
27:11
I have a blink and I'm really seriously
27:14
considering disconnecting it.
27:18
But it's not my doorbell camera that's
27:20
going to see me.
27:21
It's going to be my neighbor's ring or
27:25
blank doorbell camera that sees me.
27:27
And that's what sucks.
27:31
That's what sucks.
27:37
They can already find people,
27:38
cars using traffic cams and facial ID.
27:42
This is just using people's home systems
27:44
to do the same.
27:47
It just goes,
27:48
like when you're on a public highway,
27:50
I get it.
27:50
You're out there and you're exposed.
27:53
When I'm mowing my lawn,
27:54
I don't want people seeing me.
27:57
I don't know.
27:58
It just is,
27:59
it feels way more voyeuristic than driving
28:02
down a public highway to being filmed in
28:07
your front yard.
28:14
It's such a, such a mess.
28:22
Uh, clock says,
28:22
I heard the British also don't think the
28:24
sky is blue.
28:25
They swear it's gray.
28:27
Yeah.
28:27
If you missed the beginning of the show,
28:28
Lito already told us that the sky is
28:30
gray.
28:34
Um, they have not,
28:35
they've only seen the sun for three point
28:37
five seconds this calendar year.
28:41
Um,
28:44
Before I forget,
28:46
Thirdsy has launched its Self-Care Thirty

29:45
in yeah i'm taking i'll take my fifty
29:49
degrees man it it's been a long time
29:51
so
29:54
Did you guys see that the CrossFit L
29:55
four, the relaunch,
29:58
the new video version of the L four
30:02
sold out in like fifteen minutes,
30:05
fifteen or twenty minutes.
30:07
I saw comments that like nobody needs
30:10
this.
30:10
It's such a select group.
30:12
CrossFit isn't growing,
30:14
so they shouldn't be worried about these
30:15
niche things.
30:17
If you put out something and it sells
30:19
out in fifteen or twenty minutes,
30:21
probably should do it.
30:24
Probably should do it.
30:26
Probably means there was a demand for that
30:28
thing.
30:30
If you're selling it out in fifteen or
30:31
twenty minutes, people really wanted it.
30:36
Um...
30:37
They already have a wait list available.
30:39
So if people cancel,
30:41
you can grab a spot if you had
30:44
didn't get in on the initial sale.
30:47
But they they only have the capacity to
30:49
do so many at a time.
30:52
And then I'm sure they'll reopen for some
30:54
other things.
30:56
Craig Pastley says that is great news.
30:58
It is.
30:59
Anytime you have a product that you can
31:02
put out to the public and sell in.
31:06
And not have any more to sell.
31:10
That's a good thing.
31:11
I don't care what business you're in.
31:13
That's a good thing.
31:14
Demand is greater than the inventory that
31:18
you have.
31:19
And that's awesome.
31:25
Um,
31:27
Last thing I'm going to share with you
31:31
This is from Mike Halpin's Instagram
31:35
account.
31:35
This was as of yesterday.
31:38
We are currently sitting at ninety seven
31:40
thousand five hundred and forty six people
31:43
signed up for the open.
31:45
We're almost to that hundred thousand
31:49
registrations.
31:50
Then this was as of yesterday.
31:52
I don't know where we are today,
31:54
but that is an increase of thirty eight
31:56
point four percent over last year.
31:59
Going into this year's Open,
32:00
so many people predicted that it would
32:03
actually be lower than last year.
32:09
I am happy to say it is not
32:10
lower than last year.
32:11
It is actually growing and doing well.
32:16
Now,
32:16
Halpin also points out on his next slide
32:21
that twenty-two, twenty-three,
32:25
and twenty-four had more than a hundred
32:27
thousand by this point.
32:30
Now that's great that that happened,
32:34
but something happened in twenty four that
32:38
created a backslide on that.
32:41
And we all know it.
32:43
So I don't think it needs to be
32:45
pointed out.
32:47
We all know we're fighting against twenty
32:49
twenty five and growing off of that.
32:52
Twenty four happened.
32:53
We had a death in the family and
32:55
now we're trying to move forward.
32:57
Yesterday we saw a huge dip because or
33:02
last year we saw a huge dip because
33:04
people were affected by that death.
33:07
Now it's trying to rebuild,
33:09
get through the grieving process,
33:11
and keep going forward.
33:13
So that's what we should be judging on,
33:16
not pre the death in the family.
33:23
So I'm super proud of what CrossFit has
33:26
put out from a media marketing sense to
33:30
get the interest out there.
33:32
I think a lot of the third-party media
33:34
have chipped in
33:36
To give more people the the news that
33:39
it's out there sharing their stories doing
33:42
their thing,
33:43
and I think that that has been a
33:46
tremendous effort throughout the space um.
33:52
So.
33:54
Super pumped.
33:55
Great numbers.
33:56
Hopefully we're already over a hundred
33:58
thousand signups,
34:00
but hopefully we'll find out.
34:02
I wish I knew a way where I
34:04
could pull those numbers and have them up
34:05
to date,
34:06
but I'll keep watching for more updates to
34:09
see where we are and keep you guys
34:12
updated along the way.
34:16
Well, today's been fun.
34:17
Sorry it's a little bit shorter show,
34:19
but I have to get off.
34:20
I have a meeting at one o'clock,
34:23
ten minutes from now.
34:25
So I have to go up and get
34:26
signed into that.
34:27
Hope you guys have a great rest of
34:29
your day.
34:29
I got to get back to work.
34:30
You knuckleheads get back to work too.
34:32
And we'll see everybody next time.
34:34
Don't forget to like and subscribe to the
34:35
channel.
34:36
With that, have a great day.
34:38
We'll see everybody tomorrow on lunch.
34:40
Oh, tonight.
34:41
Sunday night CrossFit on a Tuesday night.
34:43
