• 0:31
  what is going on everybody
• 0:32
  welcome to lunch with the
• 0:34
  clydesdale today is not a
• 0:37
  work day so I'm a little
• 0:38
  more cash about what my
• 0:41
  workout my lunch hour is
• 0:45
  but um it is freezing cold
• 0:49
  here in ohio and it's only
• 0:51
  supposed to get colder over
• 0:52
  the next two days
• 0:54
  I just took the dog out
• 0:55
  right before I came down
• 0:56
  here and the wind was
• 0:57
  whipping through my pants.
• 0:59
  Oh my gosh, so bad.
• 1:03
  So just sipping on my coffee,
• 1:05
  sitting in the basement,
• 1:06
  hanging out with you guys.
• 1:07
  Can't wait to chat today.
• 1:10
  was thinking like man in the
• 1:12
  first five years we've done
• 1:13
  this podcast I maybe wore a
• 1:15
  hat like five times I have
• 1:19
  worn a hat like every show
• 1:20
  in the last couple weeks uh
• 1:22
  and just so you guys know
• 1:23
  like I have not gotten a
• 1:25
  haircut since well before christmas
• 1:29
  Maybe even back to Thanksgiving.
• 1:32
  So it is mangy up on top.
• 1:34
  It takes a lot to get it to
• 1:36
  even look somewhat decent.
• 1:39
  But with everything going on
• 1:41
  and my wife's surgery and everything,
• 1:43
  it's just not been a priority.
• 1:45
  So it has been Scott in the
• 1:48
  hat day for a good couple of weeks.
• 1:53
  So anyway,
• 1:55
  uh there's that so I wanted
• 1:58
  to talk real quick about
• 1:59
  the football weekend uh
• 2:00
  that just was incredible
• 2:02
  football games for the most
• 2:03
  part all coming down uh to
• 2:06
  the end except for maybe
• 2:07
  that lions game last friday
• 2:09
  I made four picks and four
• 2:11
  line picks and I went three
• 2:13
  for four in my overall
• 2:14
  picks uh only missing the
• 2:16
  lions and commanders game I
• 2:18
  picked the outright winners
• 2:19
  in the other three
• 2:21
  um and then on the lines I
• 2:24
  went two for two for four uh I missed
• 2:29
  I think the Texans-Chiefs game.
• 2:32
  I missed that line.
• 2:34
  I thought they would cover.
• 2:36
  They just missed.
• 2:38
  And then I missed the Lions outright.
• 2:41
  And gosh,
• 2:43
  they were giving away nine and a
• 2:44
  half points.
• 2:44
  Not only did they lose,
• 2:46
  they lost bad and did not cover.
• 2:49
  But I got yesterday's right
• 2:51
  on the lines with the Rams covering.
• 2:55
  and the uh buffalo bills
• 2:57
  covering and winning uh so
• 3:00
  yeah pretty exciting games
• 3:02
  in the snow yesterday uh
• 3:03
  what's up jose texans got
• 3:06
  robbed man they were right
• 3:08
  there like it just seems
• 3:10
  like whenever whenever they
• 3:13
  play whenever the chiefs
• 3:14
  play they it's almost like
• 3:17
  they're inviting you to
• 3:18
  take the game knowing that
• 3:20
  at any point they can pull it away
• 3:24
  um cj stroud just looked
• 3:26
  beaten up by the end of
• 3:27
  that game too many hits too
• 3:29
  many sacks which has been
• 3:31
  the texans problem all year
• 3:33
  um and the chiefs really
• 3:34
  came with some pressure at
• 3:36
  the end of the game but a
• 3:38
  fun game to watch I will
• 3:39
  say because the texans had
• 3:41
  a shot at the end it just
• 3:46
  just what didn't turn out their way um
• 3:50
  The Lions really shit the bed.
• 3:52
  I have no idea what happened there.
• 3:55
  I said last night on the show,
• 3:57
  Jamie's a big fan of the Lions,
• 4:00
  her and her husband.
• 4:01
  And I have been a Bears fan my whole life.
• 4:04
  So the Lions have been in our division.
• 4:07
  However, I wanted them to win.
• 4:08
  They have never been to the Super Bowl.
• 4:11
  I wanted just new blood in there.
• 4:13
  And I was pretty gutted that
• 4:14
  they lost to the Commanders.
• 4:17
  Plus,
• 4:18
  my Bears picked Caleb Williams over...
• 4:25
  yeah sure the really good
• 4:27
  quarterback for the the
• 4:28
  commanders daniels um then
• 4:32
  they picked caleb instead
• 4:33
  of him and he is just
• 4:35
  blowing it up and uh is
• 4:38
  having the best rookie
• 4:38
  season ever and uh damn it
• 4:43
  like did we make the wrong
• 4:44
  choice as we always do and
• 4:47
  that's where the bears fans
• 4:48
  always like their head goes
• 4:50
  to is we had to have made
• 4:52
  the wrong choice
• 4:54
  so there's that and then the
• 4:58
  snow games yesterday uh
• 4:59
  philly and the rams man the
• 5:01
  rams played tough in the
• 5:02
  snow really got to give
• 5:03
  them credit um they I
• 5:08
  thought stafford was going
• 5:09
  to pull it out the end when
• 5:10
  they hit that long pass to
• 5:11
  puka uh towards the end I
• 5:13
  thought it was right there um
• 5:16
  And they just couldn't pull it out.
• 5:19
  And then I wanted the Bills
• 5:20
  to win last night.
• 5:23
  And when Jackson hit the
• 5:26
  touchdown at the end of the game,
• 5:27
  and then Andrews dropped
• 5:30
  the two-point conversion,
• 5:31
  I could not believe he dropped that pass.
• 5:33
  could not believe it we had
• 5:34
  just gotten off the air
• 5:36
  watched that live on my
• 5:37
  phone before I went
• 5:39
  upstairs and carolyn I'd
• 5:41
  like like I'm looking at
• 5:42
  carolyn like how did he
• 5:44
  drop that pass I I have no
• 5:46
  idea mark andrews never
• 5:48
  drops passes like that so
• 5:54
  uh that game ended in a very
• 5:59
  It was an awesome game.
• 6:00
  Awesome game in the snow.
• 6:02
  So next week we have Bill's Chiefs.
• 6:04
  We have Commander's Eagles.
• 6:06
  I'll make my picks later in the week.
• 6:09
  But tonight we have the
• 6:10
  National Championship game
• 6:12
  with the Ohio State
• 6:13
  Buckeyes taking on Notre
• 6:14
  Dame Fighting Irish.
• 6:16
  And the line on this game is
• 6:17
  OSU by eight and a half.
• 6:20
  That's a huge line for a
• 6:21
  National Championship game
• 6:23
  where you have had a
• 6:24
  playoff to narrow it down
• 6:26
  to the best two teams in the country.
• 6:29
  Um,
• 6:31
  And what I'm going to say,
• 6:31
  my pick for tonight is
• 6:34
  definitely a head pick, not a heart pick.
• 6:36
  I want Notre Dame to win tonight,
• 6:38
  and I've never rooted for
• 6:39
  Notre Dame in my life.
• 6:41
  But I live here in Columbus, Ohio.
• 6:43
  I am not a Buckeye fan,
• 6:45
  and I have to hear about the Buckeyes.
• 6:47
  I'm a Buckeyes fan,
• 6:48
  so I want them to lose.
• 6:50
  Because I just don't want to
• 6:51
  deal with another national
• 6:53
  championship here.
• 6:55
  It just gets to be awful here in Columbus.
• 7:00
  so I'm picking but I am
• 7:01
  picking them to win I do
• 7:03
  think that OSU has the
• 7:04
  better team um I think they
• 7:07
  have the more explosive
• 7:08
  weapons so I am picking OSU
• 7:13
  tonight and I do believe
• 7:15
  that they're going to cover
• 7:17
  the eight and a half points as well um
• 7:22
  I just think it's going to
• 7:23
  be one of those where it's
• 7:24
  close for about three
• 7:25
  quarters and OSU will pull
• 7:27
  away in the fourth and
• 7:30
  probably make it a ten to
• 7:32
  fourteen point win at the
• 7:34
  end of the game.
• 7:35
  So I will give away the
• 7:37
  eight and a half and take
• 7:39
  the Buckeyes on the line
• 7:41
  and the Buckeyes to an outright.
• 7:45
  As much as I don't want that to happen,
• 7:46
  I do not want that to happen.
• 7:48
  I would rather be wrong on my pick.
• 7:51
  than uh have to deal with
• 7:55
  the buckeyes winning
• 7:56
  another national
• 7:57
  championship in this city
• 7:59
  because it is awful last
• 8:01
  night we turned off the nfl
• 8:03
  game and immediately the
• 8:04
  news was talking all about
• 8:05
  the buckeyes it's just it
• 8:07
  is non-stop stuff here so
• 8:12
  With that, a little bit of CrossFit news.
• 8:16
  I watched the Mayhem podcast this morning.
• 8:19
  Last night,
• 8:20
  a big topic on Sunday Night
• 8:22
  CrossFit Talk was about the
• 8:24
  qualification process for
• 8:26
  the Mayhem Classic.
• 8:27
  and how they are using
• 8:29
  historical data to pick their athletes.
• 8:34
  And Carolyn and Jamie
• 8:36
  definitely had strong
• 8:37
  feelings about that it
• 8:39
  really should be about this
• 8:41
  season and not historical data.
• 8:44
  So what I did is I picked a
• 8:46
  piece of their podcast I
• 8:48
  want to show where they
• 8:49
  actually discuss the
• 8:51
  qualification process,
• 8:52
  how they're doing it,
• 8:53
  why they're doing it.
• 8:54
  They actually have reasons
• 8:56
  behind everything.
• 8:57
  But I'm going to share that real quick.
• 8:59
  And so here we go.
• 9:06
  Here is Rich and Rory
• 9:08
  talking about it in their podcast.
• 9:13
  so many different things and
• 9:14
  outliers and reasons why we
• 9:16
  should do this one and not
• 9:17
  that one and x and y and z
• 9:19
  but uh we're gonna go with
• 9:20
  the the rogue one um I just
• 9:23
  think there's a propensity
• 9:24
  to overthink it it's like
• 9:25
  we want a history of
• 9:26
  excellence and we want
• 9:27
  recent performance to be
• 9:28
  through the roof and rogue
• 9:30
  is proven and they're
• 9:32
  obviously tremendous they
• 9:33
  don't proven they're they
• 9:35
  don't they don't underdo
• 9:36
  anything uh so I just think
• 9:38
  So one of the arguments that
• 9:40
  we had last night was that
• 9:42
  it's historical data and
• 9:43
  not current performance
• 9:46
  qualifying you for this
• 9:49
  in-person semifinal.
• 9:52
  They state,
• 9:53
  Rory states it very clear there,
• 9:54
  that they were looking for
• 9:56
  historical performance as
• 9:58
  well as how they're
• 10:00
  performing at this moment.
• 10:03
  I'll let it play a little bit further,
• 10:05
  and then I'll recap a little bit more.
• 10:08
  just think it's it's safe
• 10:10
  it's not the right word
• 10:11
  it's just it's right the
• 10:12
  hard work is paid off you
• 10:14
  know look at you go that's
• 10:16
  like the last two
• 10:18
  references already yeah so
• 10:20
  um yeah so we're gonna do
• 10:21
  that we're gonna take the
• 10:22
  eight uh first eighteen
• 10:25
  that um like accept I guess
• 10:28
  those will go out by the
• 10:31
  time this podcast goes live yeah this one
• 10:35
  And then we're going to do two wild cards.
• 10:37
  Guess what?
• 10:37
  Because it's our party and
• 10:38
  we can invite who we want.
• 10:39
  Don't care what you say.
• 10:41
  So they are doing eighteen
• 10:42
  invitations based on the rogue,
• 10:45
  rogue leaderboard.
• 10:47
  The first eighteen that
• 10:48
  accept will be competitors
• 10:51
  at the Mayhem Classic.
• 10:52
  So that is they will
• 10:56
  backfill until they get
• 10:57
  eighteen men and eighteen
• 10:59
  women for the Mayhem Classic.
• 11:02
  And then they are holding two wild cards.
• 11:05
  two men two women that they
• 11:07
  can invite anybody who they
• 11:08
  want uh to fill those two
• 11:10
  spots as well as uh the
• 11:13
  eighteen who qualify
• 11:15
  through the rogue
• 11:16
  leaderboard and you guys
• 11:19
  you heard rich say it's
• 11:21
  their party and they can
• 11:22
  invite whoever they want so
• 11:27
  they go on to say that
• 11:29
  Really,
• 11:30
  their goal of their in-person
• 11:32
  semifinal was because they
• 11:34
  are the first one up to get
• 11:36
  as many of the top athletes
• 11:38
  in and get a crack at
• 11:39
  qualifying right at the
• 11:41
  beginning of the in-person
• 11:43
  semifinal round.
• 11:46
  qualification process and be
• 11:47
  done with it so they can
• 11:49
  move on to either games
• 11:51
  prep or WFP or any of those other things,
• 11:55
  but to get it kind of
• 11:55
  checked off the box early.
• 11:57
  And that's why they wanted
• 11:59
  the best of the best at
• 12:00
  theirs to allow that
• 12:02
  opportunity for the top
• 12:03
  athletes to do that.
• 12:07
  Again,
• 12:09
  CrossFit has allowed the
• 12:10
  semifinals to kind of make
• 12:12
  up their own rules through this process.
• 12:15
  And so they did that.
• 12:16
  They are using the Rogue
• 12:17
  Qualifier and they're doing it that way.
• 12:19
  Again,
• 12:20
  Carolyn and Jamie make good arguments.
• 12:22
  And if you want to see those,
• 12:23
  check out our show from last night.
• 12:26
  And it's right in the
• 12:27
  beginning part of the show.
• 12:29
  They talk about why it
• 12:33
  shouldn't be historical and
• 12:34
  why it should be more current data.
• 12:38
  They also said that they
• 12:40
  will review this and look
• 12:41
  at it in the future,
• 12:43
  but right now they didn't
• 12:44
  have a lot of lead time
• 12:45
  going into this being the
• 12:47
  first in-person semifinal event out there,
• 12:51
  and that they kind of were
• 12:55
  hamstrung this year.
• 12:56
  So they're going to try this.
• 12:57
  They're going to give it a whirl.
• 12:59
  They'll evaluate it in the
• 13:00
  offseason and see how things go.
• 13:05
  Other than that, this is a great podcast.
• 13:07
  There's questions about the WFP,
• 13:10
  about the CrossFit game season.
• 13:12
  Angelo asks Rich many
• 13:15
  questions about if he were
• 13:17
  a current athlete,
• 13:19
  what would he do in these situations?
• 13:22
  Would he compete in the WFP?
• 13:25
  Would he compete in the game season?
• 13:27
  How would he evaluate that
• 13:29
  and look at it from
• 13:29
  different perspectives?
• 13:31
  And they admittedly say they
• 13:32
  don't really know enough
• 13:33
  about it at this point to
• 13:35
  make super educated guesses
• 13:38
  and to make that determination.
• 13:41
  But these are some things he
• 13:43
  would look at.
• 13:45
  And what I found interesting
• 13:46
  is we've been talking about
• 13:47
  this the whole time that, you know,
• 13:50
  athletes want more opportunities.
• 13:51
  And Rich said when he was competing,
• 13:54
  he tried to stay as fit as
• 13:57
  he could throughout the
• 13:58
  duration of the season.
• 14:02
  maybe even at the expense of
• 14:05
  his own longevity and durability.
• 14:10
  But that was always his goal
• 14:12
  was to be in top shape and
• 14:14
  come to every competition
• 14:16
  in the best shape he could be.
• 14:18
  So I think that that is kind
• 14:21
  of the mental attitude that
• 14:23
  you have to have in this
• 14:25
  new era of CrossFit going
• 14:28
  on more than just a couple times a year.
• 14:31
  They also talk about
• 14:34
  mistakes they believe that
• 14:36
  CrossFit has made and
• 14:37
  things that need to be
• 14:38
  changed to make it easier
• 14:41
  to digest for the consumer.
• 14:43
  They think that the reason
• 14:45
  that the Mayhem Classic is
• 14:46
  only going to be two days
• 14:47
  is they think a three-day
• 14:49
  investment on the weekend
• 14:50
  is too much for a viewer,
• 14:53
  that two days is an easier
• 14:55
  digestible competition.
• 14:57
  So that's why Mayhem Classic
• 14:58
  will be two days instead of three.
• 15:01
  and actually as they talked
• 15:02
  about it I saw a lot of
• 15:04
  validity in that and I
• 15:06
  think that that is
• 15:08
  definitely going to be this
• 15:09
  discussion point that I
• 15:10
  have with the ladies uh
• 15:11
  sunday night on sunday
• 15:12
  night crossfit talk uh so
• 15:14
  make sure you uh tune into
• 15:16
  that this week um
• 15:22
  One other thing I wanted to
• 15:23
  talk about is last Friday I
• 15:25
  talked about buying followers,
• 15:27
  that there was a report out
• 15:28
  there that Christy
• 15:31
  O'Connell and Patrick
• 15:33
  O'Connell had bought followers.
• 15:37
  I was actually corrected in
• 15:38
  the comments about what this was.
• 15:41
  I heard it being discussed
• 15:43
  on a Sevan podcast last
• 15:44
  week and it didn't have a lot of detail.
• 15:48
  But Andrew Hiller actually
• 15:49
  sent me some stuff where it
• 15:52
  was not on their YouTube
• 15:54
  channel and it was not on
• 15:56
  their personal account.
• 15:58
  It was on the IBEX training
• 15:59
  account that there seemed
• 16:02
  to be a purchase of
• 16:03
  followers and it's their
• 16:05
  IBEX Instagram account
• 16:07
  where that happened.
• 16:10
  I shared a story where I got
• 16:12
  sucked into a situation
• 16:15
  back when we first started this podcast.
• 16:18
  Um,
• 16:18
  it would have been about three and a
• 16:19
  half years ago now, um,
• 16:21
  where I got duped by some
• 16:23
  people and thought it was a
• 16:26
  legit marketing company.
• 16:27
  But in fact,
• 16:28
  they were just helping us with
• 16:30
  subscribers, uh,
• 16:32
  through what appeared to be
• 16:33
  bots or people in Russia or
• 16:35
  the Ukraine or things like that.
• 16:38
  Um,
• 16:40
  and how we had to kind of
• 16:41
  disconnect from that.
• 16:42
  But man, we were duped big time early on.
• 16:46
  And if you want to hear that story,
• 16:47
  you can go back to Friday's
• 16:48
  Lunch with the Clydesdale
• 16:50
  and check that out.
• 16:53
  I did want to correct uh
• 16:55
  what I was saying about
• 16:56
  christy's account and for
• 16:57
  those who don't know um I
• 17:00
  was a member of her gym
• 17:01
  until I'm still a member of
• 17:03
  that gym but I was a member
• 17:05
  of that gym until they sold
• 17:07
  it to some community
• 17:08
  members a couple um gosh
• 17:11
  probably a couple months ago now um
• 17:14
  And so that really hit close to home.
• 17:17
  And I just was kind of
• 17:19
  addressing it from a
• 17:19
  different perspective.
• 17:21
  So people knew that there
• 17:23
  are like vultures out there
• 17:24
  that are looking for people
• 17:27
  to do things like that too.
• 17:29
  And it on the surface,
• 17:30
  it may not appear to be
• 17:33
  something intentional by the user,
• 17:37
  but just being duped by somebody else.
• 17:42
  So.
• 17:44
  The last thing I'm going to
• 17:45
  touch on is there's a push right now,
• 17:48
  and I'm going to start
• 17:50
  watching some of this stuff.
• 17:52
  I know Boz has been on with
• 17:55
  some people over the last
• 17:57
  couple days talking about
• 17:59
  the Community Cup.
• 18:00
  And the more that the
• 18:01
  Community Cup kind of sits with me,
• 18:03
  the more I am inclined to
• 18:06
  really like where CrossFit
• 18:08
  is going with this.
• 18:09
  Really giving everybody an
• 18:11
  opportunity to compete a
• 18:12
  second time in the season.
• 18:15
  Getting levels that mean something.
• 18:18
  I hope that at some point
• 18:20
  those levels are going to
• 18:21
  be transitioned into local
• 18:24
  comps where you are a level eight.
• 18:28
  That means you're an RX athlete.
• 18:31
  You are a level five.
• 18:33
  That means you go in the
• 18:34
  scale division and you don't have
• 18:40
  sandbaggers or cherry
• 18:42
  pickers going in and trying
• 18:44
  to win the scale divisions,
• 18:46
  even though they're like a
• 18:47
  level eight or level nine
• 18:49
  in the CrossFit Open.
• 18:52
  But I really think that I
• 18:54
  like the way that they're
• 18:55
  doing the breakdown by
• 18:56
  percentages into the levels
• 18:59
  and that the second time through in June,
• 19:02
  you'll get to compete
• 19:03
  against people just in your
• 19:04
  division with a workout
• 19:07
  that is scaled appropriately for you.
• 19:10
  I think that is a really great idea.
• 19:13
  I just hope that...
• 19:15
  crossfit decides to stick
• 19:17
  with this for more than
• 19:19
  just a year or two and
• 19:22
  really give it a good
• 19:23
  opportunity to kind of
• 19:24
  catch on um because I think
• 19:29
  it it could be something
• 19:30
  special if they really uh
• 19:32
  devote some time and stick
• 19:34
  to it for a little while so
• 19:40
  with that today's going to
• 19:41
  be kind of a short show
• 19:42
  we're here on Martin Luther
• 19:43
  King Jr day so I know a lot
• 19:45
  of people aren't at work
• 19:46
  and they're not on their
• 19:47
  normal schedule and I
• 19:49
  wasn't sure what kind of an
• 19:50
  audience we would see today um
• 19:54
  And it does look like we're
• 19:55
  down a little bit on today,
• 19:58
  but we'll be back tomorrow.
• 20:00
  We have top five Tuesday
• 20:02
  tomorrow with my guy, Jay Birch,
• 20:05
  who's in the chat now,
• 20:06
  Jeffrey Birchfield.
• 20:07
  We're going to count down
• 20:08
  the top five television
• 20:11
  shows of all time.
• 20:13
  These are hour-long
• 20:15
  miniseries or network or streaming series,
• 20:20
  not sitcoms.
• 20:23
  So these will be the top five dramas,
• 20:27
  for lack of a better term,
• 20:28
  in the history of television.
• 20:31
  We'll be doing that
• 20:32
  countdown tomorrow
• 20:33
  afternoon with Jay Birch.
• 20:35
  And we'll talk about some
• 20:37
  other stuff that we'll
• 20:38
  probably talk about a
• 20:39
  national championship game
• 20:40
  that just ended.
• 20:41
  We'll probably talk more
• 20:43
  CrossFit stuff as it
• 20:44
  appears in the new space.
• 20:47
  And yeah.
• 20:50
  We had a great show last night.
• 20:51
  We did our Waterpalooza
• 20:52
  preview on Sunday Night CrossFit Talk.
• 20:55
  Make sure to go check that
• 20:56
  out if you haven't already.
• 21:00
  Carolyn and Jamie were on
• 21:02
  fire in the way they viewed things.
• 21:08
  I'll make a comment about the preview.
• 21:10
  One thing that I really
• 21:12
  enjoy about the people that
• 21:13
  are on my show with me is
• 21:15
  they give the athlete
• 21:16
  perspective and they give
• 21:17
  it pretty quickly.
• 21:19
  I looked at those workouts
• 21:21
  at Waterpalooza for the
• 21:22
  team and the individual and thought, man,
• 21:25
  that is going to beat some people up.
• 21:28
  Twelve workouts in four days,
• 21:32
  a lot of repetition,
• 21:34
  a lot of the same muscle group.
• 21:36
  How would the athletes view that?
• 21:40
  And Carolyn immediately said
• 21:44
  that because of the large
• 21:46
  payouts at Waterpalooza,
• 21:48
  The athletes are going to
• 21:49
  continue to do that,
• 21:49
  and they're going to
• 21:50
  continue to beat themselves up,
• 21:52
  and they're going to
• 21:52
  continue to tolerate that
• 21:53
  type of programming because
• 21:55
  it's one of the few places
• 21:56
  they can make money during the season.
• 22:00
  Even though we have more opportunities,
• 22:03
  there is money being cut
• 22:04
  from the game season that
• 22:06
  is not the winner.
• 22:08
  There's money maybe not as
• 22:10
  much as we thought in the WFP.
• 22:14
  So...
• 22:16
  These are rogues and the
• 22:17
  water paloozas are places
• 22:19
  where you can actually kind
• 22:21
  of cash in as an athlete.
• 22:23
  And so because of that,
• 22:24
  the athletes will endure
• 22:26
  more of those beatdowns for
• 22:29
  the opportunity to compete there.
• 22:33
  And I found that fascinating
• 22:34
  because I did not think of
• 22:35
  it that way at all.
• 22:36
  I just looked at it from the
• 22:38
  consumer or the, I guess,
• 22:42
  media or the spectator thinking, man,
• 22:45
  that's going to be a beat
• 22:46
  down and people are not
• 22:47
  going to want to put
• 22:48
  themselves through that year after year.
• 22:50
  And she immediately,
• 22:52
  immediately corrected me on that.
• 22:53
  So love that perspective
• 22:56
  from an active athlete.
• 23:00
  So with that,
• 23:04
  I think that's pretty much it for today.
• 23:08
  Hope everybody has a great,
• 23:09
  if you're not working today,
• 23:10
  hope you're having a great day off.
• 23:12
  Martin Luther King day.
• 23:13
  Hopefully wherever you're at,
• 23:15
  it's not as cold as it is
• 23:16
  here in the Midwest.
• 23:19
  Stay warm and we will be back tomorrow.
• 23:23
  Top five Tuesday.
• 23:24
  And we will see you then as
• 23:26
  we get back to our regular
• 23:28
  lunch schedule with that guys.
• 23:31
  See you then.
• 23:33
  Bye.
