1:07
just for behind the curtain dude like i
1:10

1:12

1:15
And then I can,
1:16
after I press StreamYard to launch the
1:20
show, play the theme song,
1:22
do all the stuff,
1:23
I can't see the chat.
1:25
No, I can't.
1:27
When all that's done,
1:28
then I can see the chat.
1:30
And she had said hump day at the
1:33
same time I did.
1:34
Yeah.
1:35
He can't, but I can.
1:37
And as soon as he said hump day,
1:39
she said hump day all at the same
1:41
time.
1:41
That was pretty neat.
1:44
So, yeah.
1:50
It's fantastic.
1:51
I knew Seema was so cool.
1:53
I just didn't know I was as cool
1:55
as she was.
1:57
I mean,
1:57
there's definitely some parallels going on
1:59
there for certain.
2:01
So, that was pretty cool.
2:03
It's Wednesday, my dude.
2:04
It is, dude, man.
2:07
You know what?
2:08
I got a win today.
2:09
Oh?
2:11
And I got a lot of losses,
2:12
but I did get one win.
2:14
Count your wins.
2:15
So you see this Bears hoodie?
2:18
I do.
2:19
It looks like a hockey jersey.
2:20
It kind of, yeah.
2:23
My wife bought this for me a while
2:24
back,
2:26
and I've never been able to wear it.
2:29
It's been too small for me,
2:30
and I loved it.
2:31
I loved it.
2:33
And today, after my shower,
2:35
I looked in the closet,
2:36
and I was like, you know what?
2:37
That's been hanging there a while,
2:38
and I've always loved it.
2:41
And I slid it on, and it's loose.
2:44
Yeah,
2:44
I say it looks like it's hanging on
2:46
you.
2:47
It is loose.
2:50
And I was like,
2:52
that's what I'm talking about.
2:53
Dude, I love that so much.
2:56
I love that so much.
2:57
That's outstanding, dude.
2:59
Look, take your wins.
3:01
Take your wins where they come.
3:02
And that's a big one, right?
3:04
Because now you get to wear the thing
3:05
that's been sitting there forever.
3:08
right?
3:09
Consistently putting in the work,
3:11
doing the things,
3:12
paying attention to what you put in your,
3:14
in your food hole there and look at
3:17
you like a glove, like a glove.
3:22
And we're not talking like an OJ glove.
3:23
We're talking like, no, no.
3:30
Look, it doesn't fit.
3:31
Yeah, not at all.
3:32
No, no.
3:36
This one just slid right on.
3:38
Slid, baby.
3:39
It's a beautiful thing.
3:43
Yeah, and speaking of...
3:46
Because we both hate our jobs.
3:48
So I...
3:49
We have required training we have to do
3:51
every year.
3:53
Like security training, like... Yeah.
3:57
You know, don't open a scam email.
4:00
This is what you look for.
4:01
Oh, we get one of those.
4:02
We get one of those about once a
4:03
week.
4:05
And so...
4:07
I started those today and they're due.
4:10
They're due Friday.
4:12
We've had six months to do it.
4:15
You have plenty of time.
4:16
Launched it today because I forgot all
4:19
about it and got the reminder email from
4:22
the director's assistant to say, Hey,
4:25
this is due by Friday.
4:28
Just as a,
4:28
just as a point of reference,
4:29
all of these are due Friday in case
4:31
you guys are wondering.
4:32
Oh, thanks.
4:33
So I finished half of them,
4:34
but this morning, but, um,
4:39
You know what I hate?
4:41
And I've talked about this before.
4:43
So two,
4:45
three of the four modules that I had
4:48
to do today were PowerPoints where the
4:52
person read the entire slide.
4:54
There was not a derivation off of what
4:58
was on the slide one time in three
5:01
of the four modules.
5:05
Oh...
5:08
I know that I don't read books anymore,
5:10
but I can read.
5:12
As it turns out, yeah,
5:13
I don't need you to read the PowerPoint
5:15
presentation to me.
5:17
The one guy that read,
5:19
I'm not sure his reading level was above
5:21
a sixth grade level.
5:24
He stuttered and stammered over every damn
5:27
word.
5:28
All you got to do is read it.
5:33
I mean, at that point,
5:34
why the hell can't I just read it
5:38
myself?
5:42
Death by PowerPoint, amen.
5:43
Control F, take the test.
5:45
SEMA, they have locked that out.
5:47
You have to sit through the whole damn
5:53
thing.
5:55
Because that's what we used to do.
5:57
I mean,
5:57
I've been with the state almost twenty
5:59
five years.
6:00
I have taken these same trainings every
6:02
year of my tenure with the state.
6:05
In case you had forgotten.
6:06
The questions haven't changed.
6:09
And then back a few years ago before
6:11
they locked it out,
6:12
I just go to the test, take it,
6:14
pass it, move on.
6:16
Going about your business.
6:18
What kills me about stuff like that is
6:20
that you've taken the exact same thing,
6:23
exact same training for, like you said,
6:25
the last twenty five years.
6:27
So at some point,
6:29
you think I might have gotten hit?
6:31
Like,
6:31
do I really need to refresh on this
6:32
again?
6:33
Like for the twenty fourth time?
6:36
Probably not.
6:37
Like,
6:37
I think I got a hold of it.
6:38
I'm doing a pretty good job.
6:39
You haven't fired me from for missing any
6:42
of this stuff yet or going against any
6:43
of this stuff.
6:44
So I think I'm doing OK.
6:46
Now,
6:47
have phishing and scam emails changed over
6:50
the last few years?
6:51
Sure.
6:52
Absolutely.
6:53
Make me read the update.
6:56
Yeah, and I'll go on.
6:57
And then move on.
6:59
We get emails sent to us.
7:04
And if we identify it as being a
7:07
phishing email, they go, congratulations,
7:10
you just found a phishing email.
7:12
Don't tell your coworkers.
7:14
And as soon as one of us,
7:15
because there's only eleven people that
7:16
work here,
7:17
as soon as one of us finds one,
7:19
we just text the group.
7:20
Hey, there's a scam email in your inbox.
7:24
Don't click on it or just report it
7:26
as phishing.
7:26
And we just go on about our day.
7:29
Yeah, they send those out to us too,
7:32
the test,
7:33
to see if you're going to fall for
7:35
it.
7:36
I've fallen for one in twenty-five years.
7:40
Do we still have to keep doing this,
7:41
play this game?
7:42
I am batting a thousand.
7:46
I would be getting, what's his name?
7:49
Was that the baseball player that's
7:51
getting like eight billion dollars a year
7:52
or whatever?
7:53
I'd be getting like his kind of money
7:54
because I'm batting a thousand,
7:57
have not failed one yet,
7:58
and they still keep sending them to me.
8:02
Yeah, it's ridiculous.
8:03
And so I have half of it done.
8:05
I have to do the other half this
8:06
afternoon or tomorrow or hell, Friday.
8:12
It's due Friday.
8:13
I could just wait till Friday.
8:15
I don't see why you wouldn't.
8:17
Scott,
8:19
I've been knowing that my L-II was going
8:20
to be on Sunday for quite some time
8:25
now, like the in-person part of it.
8:27
And I haven't even printed out the
8:30
handbook.
8:31
As it turns out,
8:32
I'm just kind of going with the flow.
8:34
I think I'm going to be all right.
8:38
The first time I took my L-I...
8:40
and I know they do it differently now,
8:43
but like this was,
8:46
I took my L one.
8:47
Uh,
8:48
and then you did the two days and
8:50
you took the test at the end of
8:51
the two days right there in front of
8:52
everybody.
8:53
They had an a and a B version
8:55
of the test.
8:56
So the person besides you didn't have the
8:58
same test, all that it,
9:02
when I was done,
9:03
I was not sure I knew which end
9:05
was up.
9:05
Oh yeah.
9:08
It was hard.
9:10
And I'm a good test taker.
9:14
good test taker i'm an excellent text like
9:18
standardized tests although that variety i
9:22
have knocked out of the park since i
9:23
was in since i started taking them when
9:26
we did the california achievement test
9:28
back in the day when i was like
9:30
in third grade or whatever i've been
9:31
knocking those out of the park and it
9:32
it's just carried over my entire life when
9:35
i was running the crane and had to
9:37
take my certifications for that pass it on
9:39
the first try like i've never had to
9:40
go back
9:42
And be like, oh, I feel this stuff.
9:43
No, dude,
9:45
like I knocked out every time the first
9:49
time.
9:49
Seema and I are not.
9:51
I take that back.
9:53
If I had ten thousand unopened emails in
9:55
my box,
9:57
I would go into a full out panic
9:59
attack.
10:00
Yeah.
10:01
Mine doesn't even hold ours.
10:03
We got a notification a couple of years
10:04
ago that like, Hey,
10:06
if you have stuff that's in there,
10:07
that's just not read for whatever reason,
10:09
you just skip over it and blah, blah,
10:10
blah, whatever.
10:11
Once it gets to a certain number,
10:12
it's just go auto delete them for you.
10:14
You don't have to worry about it.
10:15
I was like, thanks.
10:19
If I get like the little green bubble
10:21
on an app on my phone,
10:23
I lose my mind.
10:24
Oh yeah.
10:25
Yeah.
10:26
don't know well here's the thing so here's
10:27
a life hack in case you didn't you
10:29
can turn those off i don't know if
10:33
anybody had told you but like the only
10:35
notifications i get
10:37
Or for individual text messages.
10:40
So if my wife texts me,
10:41
if you text me, if Joseph texts me,
10:44
like any group text I get into immediately
10:49
gets muted.
10:50
So I don't have four billion notifications
10:52
because like one of them I was I'm
10:54
in with a bunch of Masters athletes.
10:57
I got put in earlier this year before
10:59
we went to semifinals.
11:03
Somebody came in after we had been having
11:05
a conversation.
11:06
This was like late last week,
11:08
sometimes said, thanks, guys.
11:09
Two hundred eleven notifications.
11:10
Appreciate that because it just they keep
11:13
stacking up.
11:15
If I if that popped up on my
11:16
phone, I would lose my mind completely.
11:18
Like there's no way I don't need all
11:19
of that shit.
11:19
I can't my my my OCD,
11:22
my whatever you want to call it,
11:23
can't deal with all of that shit clearing
11:25
up my phone.
11:25
It needs to go away.
11:28
i'm on a group text with my wife
11:30
her best friend and my best friend because
11:32
our best friends are married and uh there
11:36
was a time where every time i would
11:38
come down to the sunday night show my
11:40
wife and her best friend would just start
11:42
chatting back and forth on text right in
11:45
there in the group text
11:48
and i get off of like the sunday
11:50
night show and i'd have a hundred and
11:52
fifty notifications yeah do y'all need me
12:03
for any of this because it doesn't seem
12:05
like this has anything to do with me
12:07
why am i in the whole show i've
12:09
got like
12:15
Really?
12:21
I use AI agents to provide a daily
12:23
brief of emails I need to respond to
12:25
and correct using the Minto method of
12:28
communication saves me a massive amount of
12:31
time.
12:32
The Freshmaker?
12:33
Okay, Stephen Covey.
12:34
Yeah.
12:37
Like the Freshmaker Mentos,
12:39
that kind of method of communication.
12:41
You just hand somebody a mint and call
12:42
it good.
12:43
A chewy mint, by the way.
12:45
Or you put them in a... Oh,
12:46
maybe he just puts them all in a
12:48
Diet Coke bottle and then watches them
12:49
explode up into the...
12:50
That seems like a pretty effective...
12:53
Do you like a chewy mint?
12:58
This is probably going to be a hot
12:59
take.
13:00
So here we go.
13:02
Not a huge fan of chewy mints,
13:04
but the soft peppermints are better than
13:08
hard peppermints.
13:13
That's a hot take.
13:15
I figured it would be.
13:17
So my whole life,
13:18
it's either been gum or mints.
13:21
Sure.
13:22
They don't need to combine.
13:24
Yeah.
13:25
If I want a chewy,
13:27
I get like a spearmint or peppermint gum.
13:30
Yeah.
13:30
I don't want, I don't want to,
13:32
I just like soft mints better than I
13:34
do hard mints.
13:35
I don't know.
13:36
Maybe that's not, it's probably a bad,
13:38
probably a hot, hot.
13:39
Oh, look, Terry's with me.
13:41
You are keeping Mentos around forever,
13:43
man.
13:44
Look, Terry's with me.
13:45
Mark Phillips is with,
13:46
I knew Mark Phillips was going to be
13:47
with me.
13:48
Me and I do see right here.
13:49
I didn't,
13:55
i don't know dude like the soft ones
13:56
you can kind of it's because they're not
13:58
chewy they're just soft and they'll
14:00
dissolve in your mouth as opposed to just
14:02
sucking on a peppermint freaking two hours
14:03
until it becomes a tiny sharp sliver that
14:06
you can cut your damn tongue on
14:09
Now,
14:10
the soft mints that melt in your mouth,
14:13
I'm okay with those.
14:14
That's what I'm talking about.
14:15
I don't want a minto.
14:17
Right.
14:17
Mentos are chewy.
14:18
I don't want chewy mints.
14:20
I don't want chewy mints.
14:21
To me,
14:23
that defeats the purpose of having an
14:25
actual mint because you're just going to
14:26
chew it up and it's going to go
14:27
away.
14:27
You're supposed to hold them in your mouth
14:30
until it completely dissolves,
14:32
which is why I like the soft peppermints
14:34
more than a hard candy peppermint.
14:40
Joseph, stop.
14:46
Yeah.
14:46
I heard someone say candy corn is like,
14:50
I can't remember what he was comparing it
14:52
to,
14:52
but he said it just shows up whether
14:54
you want it or not.
14:56
A hundred percent.
14:56
A hundred percent.
14:58
There will be candy corn at my house
15:00
Sunday.
15:00
I'm well aware of that after we go
15:02
trick or treating Saturday night.
15:04
It's not going to last because nobody at
15:06
my house eats it.
15:09
My mom and I were talking the other
15:10
night.
15:11
I grew up beside a general store.
15:14
I grew up in the middle of nowhere.
15:16
Still, my mom does not get cell service.
15:18
I've seen the pictures behind Scott's
15:20
house.
15:20
Scott's mom's house.
15:21
He's not lying.
15:24
but down the street is a general store
15:26
and basically what kept it in business
15:28
forever were um wildcat oil drillers
15:32
because western pennsylvania has like the
15:35
purest oil in the world and so they
15:38
could get premium money for oil and stuff
15:41
in that area and so she would like
15:43
the lady that owned the store i think
15:45
she was a hundred and seventy two when
15:46
she died probably still had a forty four
15:49
magnum under the counter of the register
15:52
You can never be too careful.
15:54
But she would make sandwiches and sell
15:56
them to the guys,
15:58
and she would sell coffee and all that
16:00
stuff.
16:00
They'd come in, get their coffee,
16:01
buy a sandwich for lunch, and take off.
16:03
And she – booming business.
16:05
But she had a candy counter.
16:08
Like a real candy counter.
16:09
Yeah, like candy counter.
16:11
And you would come in and just say
16:13
– hand her like a quarter and say,
16:15
give me a mixed bag.
16:17
And when I was a kid,
16:18
it was a penny a piece.
16:19
Oh, yeah.
16:21
Unless you got the premium thing like the
16:23
candy cigarettes or the bubblegum cigar or
16:29
the sixlets.
16:30
Sixlets were more expensive for some
16:31
reason.
16:32
Because sixlets were knockoff M&M's.
16:38
Just put in a tube.
16:39
Yeah.
16:40
Yeah.
16:46
Trying not to laugh mid... Front squat.
16:49
Front squat set when Corey said the
16:51
peppermint slice that will cut your
16:53
tongue.
16:55
I bet you know what I'm talking about,
16:56
though, Amanda.
17:01
The general store on the Oregon Trail.
17:02
Pretty much.
17:04
Yeah.
17:04
Without diet or dysentery.
17:08
But...
17:10
we were just talking about how,
17:11
like how cool it was.
17:12
You just hand her a quarter and she
17:13
would just go into candy counter and pull
17:16
out a couple of these couple of those.
17:18
Yeah.
17:18
And I don't even think she counted
17:20
probably like for the kids.
17:21
Like she just, um, you look,
17:24
you need this many.
17:25
Here you go.
17:26
Move on.
17:28
But like one of my favorite candies as
17:29
a kid was,
17:30
were gummy things like Swedish fish,
17:32
gummy bears, but she sold gummy hats.
17:36
I'm sorry.
17:38
Who thought,
17:40
That a gummy hat was like...
17:43
Was it actual size?
17:45
No, no, no.
17:47
No,
17:48
it was like a gummy nickel with like
17:51
a little bump on the top.
17:53
Yeah, and they just called it a hat.
17:55
That's probably along the lines of what we
17:56
were talking about last week,
17:57
week before last, whatever,
17:58
when the candy pumpkins,
18:01
like they were making gummy something else
18:04
and then just had these leftovers.
18:05
Like, what do these look like?
18:06
I don't know.
18:06
It kind of looks like a hat.
18:07
Cool.
18:08
Let's sell them as gummy hats and put
18:09
them in a bag and called it good.
18:11
But I think in this case,
18:13
because I'm so old,
18:14
there weren't gummy bears when I was a
18:15
kid.
18:17
I don't ever remember seeing gummy bears.
18:20
I didn't see any Swedish fish until I
18:22
was an adult.
18:24
So we had Swedish fish when I was
18:26
a kid.
18:27
I think the one and only time I
18:28
went to an Ikea store is the first
18:30
time I saw Swedish fish because they had
18:32
somebody register.
18:35
I think the gummy hats were the precursor
18:38
to the gummy.
18:38
Like, let's drop it.
18:41
And then when you lifted up the thing,
18:43
it left a little bump.
18:44
Oh, it looks like a hat.
18:46
Yeah.
18:47
There you go.
18:48
And then over time, they said, oh,
18:49
we could put these in molds and we
18:52
can make bears and snakes and rats and
18:55
whatever else.
18:56
All the other stuff.
18:56
Worms.
18:57
Probably worms.
18:58
Not so much snakes.
18:59
I think gummy worms is probably a
19:00
precursor to gummy snakes.
19:03
The Swedish fish are probably...
19:08
So my best friend, oh, well,
19:11
Benoit Wagaspak, two sons, okay,
19:14
when I was now in college, actually,
19:16
they're both now in college,
19:17
when I'm just graduated,
19:17
when I was about a sophomore or junior,
19:20
he's a sophomore.
19:20
Anyway, they both had braces.
19:22
They're like two years apart.
19:24
Well, when Ross got braces,
19:26
Luke got braces.
19:27
When Luke got his braces off,
19:28
Benoit got braces at fifty-two years old
19:32
or whatever he was.
19:34
I just remember him coming into the gym
19:36
one day and he's just
19:39
And I'm like, what are you doing?
19:40
He said,
19:40
I ate a sandwich earlier and I'm still
19:42
fucking eating it because all the shit
19:45
that was still would just get stuck in
19:46
his teeth.
19:48
oh man so wait as soon as she's
19:50
you know olive said swedish fish are
19:53
probably still stuck in your teeth that's
19:54
the first thing that came to mind i'm
19:55
like man i can't even imagine my
19:57
daughter's got braces right now and i'll
20:00
see her doing that kind of stuff and
20:01
like every once in a while she's eight
20:03
so it's like hey bro go brush your
20:04
teeth get ready for bed all that good
20:06
stuff she's supposed to floss every night
20:07
like they got this fancy floss thing for
20:10
and all that
20:11
some nights she'll go brush her teeth and
20:13
come back and get like you know about
20:15
to go do her nighttime stuff and i'm
20:17
talking to her for a second i'm like
20:18
did you brush your teeth and she's like
20:21
yeah i was like i'm gonna need you
20:21
to go do that again because you clearly
20:24
missed some stuff that's stuck in them
20:25
braces somewhere that means you'll take
20:28
care of that uh sugar babies and sugar
20:31
daddies uh were a dentist trip yeah
20:35
It's the stickiest thing.
20:36
Like you could use that to hold together
20:38
the space shuttle as it's coming back in
20:39
from orbit.
20:41
It would pull out a filling from nineteen
20:42
seventy six.
20:43
Absolutely.
20:44
Absolutely.
20:47
They were good, though.
20:48
I like sugar babies.
20:50
My childhood dentist used to give us a
20:51
coupon for free ice cream cone.
20:53
Brilliant.
20:55
Anything that has chocolate and like hard
20:58
caramel or toffee, I will hurt myself.
21:02
If I'm if if like you're going to
21:04
reason.
21:05
Chocolate reason?
21:06
Yeah.
21:08
I will hurt myself if given the
21:12
opportunity.
21:14
It's not a good thing.
21:16
Barry with the cow tails.
21:18
So you had the cow tails and the
21:19
bullseye, which were the same thing,
21:21
only the bullseyes were the cow tails cut.
21:25
Is it?
21:26
I have no idea.
21:28
So cow's tail is caramel with the cream
21:31
filling in the middle,
21:32
but it's like a tail.
21:33
Got it.
21:34
The bullseye is cut into circles and it's
21:37
flipped on its side, put in a package,
21:40
and it's the same thing.
21:41
Yeah,
21:41
we cut it up for you and put
21:42
it in a different bag.
21:44
So the bullseyes are just the bite-sized
21:46
version of the cow tail.
21:48
That's fantastic.
21:52
Swedish fish were a penny at my little
21:54
store growing up.
21:55
They were a penny at mine too.
21:58
I still love Swedish fish to this day.
22:01
Mike likes and Swedish fish are like goat.
22:09
Yeah.
22:10
I tried it, dude.
22:13
No, that didn't do it for me.
22:15
I don't know the difference.
22:17
Like,
22:17
I don't know enough about Swedish fish to
22:19
take a sip of a Swedish fish flavored
22:21
ghost and be like, Oh yeah.
22:23
Now we'll say this.
22:24
I found the A&W root beer ghost this
22:26
morning when I stopped before I went,
22:29
I went and coach and it tastes just
22:31
like A&W root beer.
22:33
You know what the best way to drink
22:35
A&W root beer is?
22:37
Probably not.
22:39
If I'm guessing.
22:39
Pop the top and then dump it down
22:41
the drain.
22:43
They don't make it in Barks, dude.
22:44
I don't know what to tell you.
22:47
Root beer, period.
22:50
I don't get it.
22:52
You made the root beer barrel candy.
22:54
I don't like that.
22:56
It's a shitty soda,
22:57
and now you make it into a candy?
22:59
I will say this.
23:00
I don't like root beer candy at all.
23:04
Root beer flavored dum-dums,
23:05
the root beer barrels that you'd get at
23:07
Christmas time,
23:08
at Halloween time sometime.
23:10
No, thank you.
23:12
Okay.
23:14
If it's not chocolate, I don't want it.
23:15
Never been a gummy candy person.
23:17
Kate, I thought we were friends.
23:23
Yeah, fun dip.
23:24
I would do lines of fun dip.
23:26
Oh, I am forty nine years old.
23:28
I will fight somebody for some fun dip.
23:31
What is that?
23:31
It's flavored sugar.
23:33
Yeah.
23:34
And we're going to give you a chalk
23:36
stick of chalk to lick and have it
23:39
stick the dip.
23:43
A++, the chalk stick delivery method.
23:48
Delivery method needs a little bit of
23:50
work.
23:50
Delivery method needs a little bit of
23:52
work.
23:53
Holy smokes, dude.
23:55
Yeah,
23:55
I would still fight with somebody for some
23:58
– and would still use their horrible
24:00
delivery method to get it instead of
24:02
pouring it in my mouth.
24:04
Holy smokes.
24:05
It was a D minus delivery method.
24:07
I still used it.
24:08
Yeah.
24:08
Oh, absolutely.
24:10
Absolutely.
24:10
Because if you're not going to use it,
24:12
you might as well just get a pixie
24:14
stick.
24:14
Get a pixie stick.
24:15
It would be the same thing.
24:16
Cut a pixie stick open.
24:19
But we used to – oh, man.
24:23
I shudder to think about how much just
24:24
pure sugar I ingested as a child behind
24:27
Pixie Stix and Fun Dip because those are
24:29
probably two of my favorite things at a
24:31
time.
24:31
And believe it or not,
24:33
so I know I just said sixlets were
24:35
knockoff M&Ms, which they are.
24:39
Anybody who tells me I'm wrong is wrong.
24:42
And I preferred them to M&Ms most of
24:44
the time because they were round and not
24:46
flat.
24:47
Oh, and it's proportion.
24:47
It is.
24:48
It's more candy shell to the chocolate.
24:51
It is.
24:52
Absolutely.
24:54
Yeah, the candy dots on wax paper.
24:56
Dots.
24:57
I ate more paper than dots.
24:59
Yes.
25:00
That was the dumbest delivery method.
25:04
We're going to put these on a scribble
25:06
wax paper.
25:09
Just hand them out to children.
25:13
Joseph asked earlier on if I had ever
25:17
eaten three pounds of gummy bears in one
25:19
sitting.
25:21
I don't remember that day,
25:22
but I am sure.
25:23
I am sure that it happened.
25:27
I used to weigh over five hundred pounds
25:30
and I love gummy fruity candy.
25:33
I am sure that a three pound bag
25:36
of gummy bears was destroyed in one day
25:39
before.
25:40
And so somebody else was saying something
25:41
about now and laters and how like you
25:44
eat some now and it's still in your
25:45
teeth later or whatnot.
25:46
That's another one that if it still had
25:48
the paper on it, I didn't care.
25:50
I ate that and the paper that it
25:51
was still attached to.
25:52
It did not bother me in the least
25:53
when it came to now and laters.
25:57
The other one you ate a ton of
25:58
paper is the bit of honey.
26:00
Well, you couldn't help it.
26:01
It was also stuck to like,
26:02
it was anytime you go to unwrap it
26:06
and like it's folded up underneath the
26:08
wrappers folded up underneath a piece of
26:10
the actual candy.
26:12
That's a problem that you're not going to
26:13
be able to get around.
26:14
So you just soon just go ahead and
26:16
knock it down.
26:18
And that's another dentist trip.
26:21
Yeah.
26:21
Oh God.
26:22
Yeah.
26:24
Easily, easily.
26:25
Joseph said I did it once in two
26:27
thousand one again.
26:31
When I first started competing in
26:34
CrossFit, like going to, you know,
26:36
one day comps, three workouts, whatever.
26:39
I was the guy.
26:40
I had all the fucking snacks.
26:41
Like I needed all this extra sugar to
26:44
do three workouts in one day.
26:46
So I rolled up.
26:47
I go tell my wife, babe,
26:49
we got to go stop by the store.
26:50
I got to get like a giant bag
26:52
of gummy worms or gummy bears or whatever
26:54
to be able to.
26:55
I need a whole thing of Haribo to
26:56
make it through this.
26:58
one day three workout competition like oh
27:03
my word please don't do that uh scott
27:12
keeps bringing up the straight grandpa
27:13
candies that collect sweater lint while
27:16
sitting in pockets no no come on kate
27:21
like those are the butterscotches and the
27:25
root bear barrels and
27:28
The strawberry looking thing.
27:29
Oh, yeah.
27:30
Whatever that candy was.
27:33
Whatever that is.
27:33
Not at the dollar store.
27:36
You go to your grandma's house.
27:37
Here's a lemon.
27:39
Yeah.
27:40
No name.
27:40
We have no idea what it is.
27:42
You go to your grandma's house and there's
27:45
like a bowl of them and you have
27:47
no idea what they came from.
27:49
I am forty nine years old.
27:50
I've got.
27:51
three children total, one grown,
27:54
one fixing to move out,
27:55
one who's eight years old.
27:56
And I cannot remember ever going buy candy
27:58
and be like, oh,
27:59
let me get some of those strawberry things
28:01
because I've never seen them for purchase
28:03
in a store.
28:07
They just appear in old ladies' purses.
28:10
I think once you get to a certain
28:11
age, they just drop them off.
28:13
Big strawberry candy just drops them off
28:18
at a lady's house.
28:19
And you're like, here,
28:19
I need you to put these in the
28:20
candy dish.
28:21
It's actually in the shape of a
28:22
strawberry.
28:23
Yeah.
28:24
Or a lemon.
28:26
Whatever.
28:30
I think you order them from AARP.
28:32
Probably.
28:33
That makes sense, man.
28:36
Oh, what's up, Pat?
28:40
I don't even remember what I was going
28:43
to say.
28:44
Seema says she's got four of them at
28:45
the bottom of her purse right now.
28:50
And Kate,
28:52
I reserve my pockets for jerky only.
28:55
That's it.
28:55
Pocket jerky, Scott.
28:56
Pocket jerky.
28:58
Scott's carrying pocket food.
28:59
It's pocket jerky.
29:02
No pocket taco.
29:03
It's easy.
29:03
It's dehydrated.
29:04
It gets me some protein.
29:06
I say it's protein.
29:07
It's somewhat good for you.
29:08
Probably.
29:13
Oh, what the hell?
29:19
Anyway,
29:19
Megan says when she gets to be at,
29:22
she's going to let you know where to
29:23
get them.
29:27
Appreciate that Megan.
29:31
Oh, man.
29:33
Wild Bill's beef jerky in the round tin.
29:35
Yeah.
29:35
Yeah,
29:36
because we don't want to promote chewing
29:38
snuff.
29:38
But here,
29:39
let's shred up some beef jerky and put
29:41
it in a round can.
29:42
Or big league chew.
29:44
Let's put bubble gum in a chewing tobacco
29:47
pouch and call it good because we don't
29:49
want kids.
29:50
And then put it right beside the candy
29:52
cigarettes and the bubble gum cigars.
29:55
I used to,
29:56
I used to smoke so many candy cigarettes
29:57
when I was a kid.
29:58
It's not even funny.
29:59
And I,
30:01
I'm glad you also said about the bubble
30:03
gum cigars.
30:04
Cause I have,
30:05
I remember those now that you mentioned it
30:07
and I'm like, but you were supposed to,
30:08
it was a whole,
30:09
the whole thing was gum.
30:10
Yeah.
30:11
So like chew all of that at one
30:13
time.
30:13
So now you got to bite a piece
30:15
off of it and then we'll save the
30:16
rest for later.
30:17
I guess, you know,
30:18
you're telling me that you as a kid
30:20
didn't say, but, but I can't,
30:23
but I can.
30:24
Oh, I've tried some.
30:28
Sure.
30:34
I remember getting a bag of Bigley Chew
30:36
and seeing how much gum I could chew
30:38
at once because that was the easiest way
30:40
to do it because those bags were huge.
30:42
That was a lot of gum.
30:47
My grandma going,
30:47
what the hell are you doing?
30:49
I'm just chewing some gum.
30:51
Drooling and shit having to come out of
30:53
there.
30:54
Joseph almost choked to death on some
30:56
great big league chew and little league.
30:58
It may have been the entire pack.
30:59
Entirely possible.
31:05
Wayne,
31:06
I can smell green apple Jolly Ranchers
31:07
from a mile away.
31:10
Jolly Ranchers may be my favorite candy of
31:14
all time.
31:15
Did you used to put them in Zima
31:17
back in the day?
31:18
No.
31:20
No.
31:20
Because I was older than twelve.
31:23
And I was not female.
31:24
I was about to say,
31:25
because you were not a chick.
31:26
Is that why?
31:26
That's mostly why.
31:31
But you had the two forms of Jolly
31:32
Ranchers.
31:33
You had the little nuggets,
31:35
and then you had the long, flat strips.
31:39
I don't see,
31:40
I know those I've seen those,
31:42
but it's been so long, dude.
31:44
Like I can't smell a green Jolly,
31:47
but I got to the point when I
31:51
initially went from two down to like one.
31:56
To where, cause I was drinking so many,
31:58
that's when energy drinks first started
31:59
becoming like real popular.
32:00
Right.
32:00
And I would drink all of them.
32:01
The full sugar, full throttle,
32:02
like whatever it was.
32:03
Well,
32:03
once I knocked all of that shit out,
32:04
right.
32:04
So I actually started paying just when I
32:06
eat,
32:06
if you open a full sugar drink next
32:07
to me or in my general vicinity,
32:07
especially one of those,
32:08
I could smell it from probably, probably,
32:09
probably, probably, probably, probably,
32:10
probably, probably, probably, probably,
32:10
probably, probably, probably, probably,
32:11
probably, probably, probably, probably,
32:13
probably, probably, probably, probably,
32:14
probably, probably, probably, probably,
32:15
probably, probably, probably, probably,
32:15
probably, probably, probably, probably,
32:16
probably, probably, probably, probably,
32:17
probably, probably, probably, probably,
32:18
probably, probably, probably, probably,
32:19
probably, probably, probably, probably,
32:20
probably, probably, probably, probably,
32:20
probably, probably, probably, probably,
32:21
probably, probably, probably, probably,
32:22
probably, probably, probably,
32:23
probably
32:25
uh they still make zima i don't think
32:27
so probably when i was bouncing in the
32:32
bar it was they were the the rage
32:35
in the mid-nineties and when i started
32:38
going out and trying to make it a
32:39
comeback in like it wasn't that long ago
32:42
yeah or i felt like it went that
32:43
long because i remember people talking
32:45
about it and saying i'm gonna have to
32:46
go get some more jolly ranchers um i
32:49
remember when i first started going out
32:52
like in
32:54
Going out to actual bars and whatnot.
32:57
That was the first time I remember ever
32:59
seeing it.
33:00
It certainly wasn't at my parents' house.
33:02
My dad drank Miller Lite.
33:04
Still does.
33:05
That's it.
33:07
I've had Zima's.
33:08
I've had a Zima, too.
33:11
But I never put a Jolly Rancher in
33:13
it.
33:13
If we put anything in it,
33:15
it was liquor.
33:16
Like a shot of Midori or a shot
33:19
of Blue Syracuse or something like that.
33:24
Yes, Hobart in the mid-eighteen hundreds.
33:26
That's when that was.
33:29
Now, is this fake Hobart or real Hobart?
33:32
I think it's fake Hobart.
33:34
That is James Hobart.
33:36
Because there's a fake Hobart going around
33:38
in all the chats.
33:39
It actually says fake Hobart on it,
33:40
though.
33:41
That's an actual James Hobart.
33:43
Because there's no picture of Hobart in
33:46
the thing.
33:47
And I think that's the difference.
33:50
No work computer.
33:51
That's actually James Hobart.
33:52
Oh, all right.
33:57
Oh Lord.
33:59
I know you're old.
33:59
If I introduced myself and someone says
34:01
like Zima, the beer, was it beer?
34:10
No,
34:12
I don't really wouldn't tell me what it
34:14
is.
34:14
Cause I have no, it's a malt beverage.
34:20
Hold on.
34:25
I'm looking it up.
34:25
Zima is a clear, lightly carbonated,
34:27
alcoholic malt beverage created by the
34:29
Coors Brewing Company.
34:33
Cousin,
34:33
I would drink seventeen Zima before I have
34:36
another shot of Malort.
34:39
And I quit drinking.
34:41
Especially from a random guy carrying a
34:43
football at a party.
34:44
Mm-mm.
34:49
Yeah.
34:50
Which was better,
34:52
Bartles and James or Zima?
34:55
Well,
34:55
Bartles and James had various flavors,
34:57
so I would go with Zima because it
34:59
had one, which was clear,
35:01
which is why people put whatever.
35:04
It had no flavor.
35:05
No.
35:05
It just was clear.
35:07
It tasted like malt beverage.
35:11
Essentially,
35:12
Bartles and James put the Jolly Rancher in
35:15
the bottle for you.
35:16
Yes, absolutely.
35:16
Absolutely.
35:19
Oh,
35:20
Zim was made by charcoal filtering a
35:22
low-grade lager to strip away its amber
35:24
color and beer flavor,
35:26
and then adding a citrus slash lemon-lime
35:28
taste.
35:29
Yeah.
35:34
I don't know, man.
35:36
Hold on.
35:38
The clear craze.
35:39
It became a cultural symbol of the
35:49
That whole crystal Pepsi thing.
35:51
Because marketing people tried to tell you
35:53
that the caramels that colored different
35:56
soft drinks were bad for you.
36:00
Yeah.
36:01
So it was just a scam.
36:04
It was a fishing expedition to get you
36:07
to buy clear liquids and a new product
36:09
that they could make.
36:12
except nobody reported fishing back then
36:14
because they didn't send it to you in
36:15
an email, which I'm glad.
36:16
If I got a Zima through email,
36:20
I'd probably be pretty upset about it.
36:24
I didn't drink regular Pepsi, much less,
36:27
give me the one that's clear.
36:28
No, I'm good.
36:30
I'm good.
36:30
Try it quick.
36:31
I mean,
36:31
of course I tried it back then.
36:35
I just didn't like Pepsi, period.
36:37
Now, having said that,
36:38
my grandma would buy RC Cola.
36:41
have it at the house and i was
36:43
supposed to drink that because don't drink
36:45
her cokes because her cokes are her cokes
36:47
but here i bought you something that was
36:49
pretty close to that and it's rc cola
36:51
and i'd be like this is terrible i'm
36:53
not drinking either one of these it's a
36:57
lot sweeter than the others rc rc i
36:59
don't know i haven't had a i think
37:05
i had one of my wife's uh dr
37:08
pepper zeros in like march
37:13
One day,
37:13
just cause I had a hankering for it
37:15
and she has to happen to have some,
37:16
and she had the little cans and I
37:17
was like,
37:17
I just haven't had anything like this in
37:19
forever.
37:19
And that was enough.
37:20
I'm good.
37:22
My, my, my,
37:23
my carbonated drink of choice usually
37:25
comes in a can.
37:26
Looks like this either got ghost gorilla
37:28
mind or C four written on it.
37:31
Yeah,
37:32
I really love the C-IV Jolly Rancher
37:34
flavors.
37:34
Back to that.
37:35
Because they take liquid Jolly Rancher.
37:37
They got those flavors nailed down.
37:40
Shout out to C-IV.
37:42
That stuff is amazing.
37:43
If y'all want to sponsor this show again,
37:45
I would gladly make another palette like
37:47
Scott sent me the last time.
37:52
We are thirty eight minutes into this
37:54
podcast and not one thing on my list
37:57
has been talked about.
37:59
That's fair.
38:00
That's fair.
38:00
What's on the list?
38:02
Let's hit it.
38:05
Well,
38:05
I don't even know if I want to
38:07
get into any of this stuff now,
38:08
but you see all these like Callum Marsh
38:15
stuff out there with the glass box.
38:18
Yeah.
38:19
Am I being,
38:20
I want to know from you,
38:22
am I being petty?
38:23
Okay.
38:25
Because you reached out to me and asked
38:26
if you could come on the show.
38:28
Really?
38:29
And I said,
38:31
I don't know how I'd have on your
38:32
show because I haven't read your book.
38:34
Yeah, which seems to be fair.
38:37
And he said, well,
38:39
I hear you don't read,
38:41
which means he listened to the show.
38:45
Or at the very least has seen that
38:46
clip.
38:48
And I said, well,
38:52
but I would read the book if I
38:54
had it.
38:54
And this was before it was released.
38:58
Right.
38:59
He said, oh,
39:00
I'll have my publisher send you one.
39:03
I said, cool.
39:04
I said, when I read it,
39:06
I'd more than gladly have you on.
39:08
Absolutely.
39:10
Never got the book.
39:12
I'm shocked.
39:14
Can you tell?
39:17
But everybody else got theirs.
39:20
Of course they did.
39:22
So, is it worth being petty over?
39:26
Yes.
39:29
I am Tom Petty when it comes to
39:30
shit like that, dude.
39:31
Like...
39:33
First of all,
39:34
you're going to approach me about coming
39:36
on my show, right?
39:38
Which is not generally how that's done on
39:41
anybody's show, right?
39:42
Can you imagine me reaching out to anybody
39:44
and be like, hey,
39:45
I want to come on your show and
39:47
talk about stuff.
39:49
And I'm going, yeah, why not?
39:51
Especially when you have absolutely or
39:53
not, I mean, absolutely no idea,
39:54
but very little idea who you might
39:57
actually be.
39:58
Like if I called freaking, I don't know,
40:02
name a ridiculously successful podcast
40:05
tomorrow.
40:06
If I called Joe Rogan tomorrow and was
40:07
like, hi, Joe,
40:09
I'm a random forty nine year old
40:10
CrossFitter.
40:11
And I would I think I would be
40:12
great on your show as an interview because
40:14
I'm just a regular dude who just has
40:16
a job and trying to make the CrossFit
40:18
Games.
40:19
Yeah, yeah,
40:20
that probably would go over really well,
40:22
right?
40:22
And we're nowhere near the level of a
40:24
Joe Rogan.
40:25
No.
40:26
However,
40:27
we are fairly popular with our audience,
40:30
right?
40:30
So you're just going to come on and
40:33
just try to, let me not say bully,
40:34
because I'm sure he was not trying to
40:35
bully you,
40:35
but think that you just need to be
40:38
on the show for what fucking reason?
40:40
It says, and never would have read it.
40:43
I would have read it,
40:44
because it would have made content for the
40:47
show.
40:48
Sure.
40:48
And so,
40:52
Most of when I say I would never
40:53
read a book again is a joke.
40:55
But I've read a lot of books in
40:57
my life and it's just not relaxing to,
41:00
or I don't even know how to describe
41:02
it.
41:03
It's not what I want to do anymore.
41:04
Just touch a thing.
41:05
It's fine.
41:06
This is about the history of CrossFit.
41:08
I do do a CrossFit podcast.
41:10
I would have read it.
41:12
Yeah.
41:12
We even talk about CrossFit on this show
41:14
from time to time, believe it or not.
41:16
Every once, maybe once or twice a month.
41:21
I'm to the point now where I will
41:23
not purchase that book.
41:25
No.
41:25
Why would you?
41:27
Like, okay,
41:28
the rest of y'all can talk about it.
41:30
And it's so tough for me because I
41:35
see clips of like John Young talking about
41:37
it and him buying it all hook, line,
41:42
and sinker.
41:43
Yeah, like it's gospel.
41:45
Right?
41:46
Without asking a question.
41:48
i want to know how compelling this book
41:50
is that he went all in on one
41:52
person's opinion because he's easily
41:56
swayed i don't know right like but it
41:58
could be it could i don't know how
42:01
much context is behind everything so i
42:05
have a curiosity but i will never buy
42:07
his book now no not not not any
42:11
whatsoever and especially not when like
42:15
I don't know if you saw Coach Glassman
42:19
this morning on Sub-On,
42:21
like immediately addressed it this
42:24
morning.
42:25
I was busy doing trainings this morning.
42:27
So today's Wednesday,
42:30
Coach Glassman's on Wednesday,
42:32
he's on seven,
42:33
so I got it on while I'm doing
42:34
stuff this morning.
42:36
And the first thing Greg did was talk
42:37
about the story that everybody's like
42:39
using that as their tagline for them
42:41
stopping like the plane landing and then
42:43
so they can go to Chick-fil-A.
42:45
And Greg says,
42:46
he's laughing the whole time because it's
42:48
funny to him how they portrayed it versus
42:50
what actually happened.
42:54
And he just goes on and tells the
42:55
entire story.
42:56
Hey, actually,
42:57
one of the motors blew up on the
42:58
plane and we had to stop.
43:00
And then we were trying to figure out
43:02
how to get everybody back home.
43:04
So there happened to be a Chick-fil-A
43:06
nearby.
43:07
So we Ubered or whatever was the mode
43:10
of transportation at the time to a
43:13
Chick-fil-A and hung out there and ate
43:16
while we were trying to figure out how
43:18
to get back on another plane and whatnot.
43:22
Dude.
43:26
it's easy to take stuff like that and
43:28
editorialize it or add your own opinions
43:30
to it or your own thoughts to it
43:31
and whatnot and put a story out there
43:33
when you're not actually talking to the
43:34
people that actually did it.
43:35
Pat, that's my question.
43:40
I don't know.
43:41
Is it one person's opinion or how many
43:42
sources backed it up?
43:44
And the other thing is CrossFit was a
43:50
private company owned by one man.
43:53
He didn't have to report to a board
43:55
of directors.
43:57
He didn't have to report to other people
44:00
about it's his money.
44:03
Who am I to tell him how to
44:04
spend his money?
44:07
Why do I give two shits whether he
44:10
got a private airplane and made a stop
44:12
in Grand Junction on his way to Denver?
44:16
Why should that even matter to me?
44:20
What it's, it's a lot like, you know,
44:24
as far as Greg being in charge of
44:26
the whole thing, it's a lot like when,
44:27
when no rep TV got announced and people
44:29
said, you know,
44:30
I saw that there was a, you could,
44:32
you could send, uh, not feedback,
44:35
but like you could report videos and they
44:37
were actually like, well, who go,
44:39
who does this go to report?
44:41
Uh, me, like,
44:43
if you're the only person that's in charge
44:46
of the entire thing,
44:47
then you get to make all the decisions.
44:48
That's how that works.
44:51
Yeah.
44:51
Period.
44:52
If you live by yourself and someone comes
44:54
to your house and you decide that
44:56
everybody's taking their shoes off when
44:57
they walk in the door,
44:58
then that's the rule or you can leave.
45:00
It's fine.
45:01
And nobody gets to question that because
45:03
it's your shit.
45:06
Your name's on all the checks on all
45:07
the whatever.
45:09
So you can do whatever you want to
45:13
do because it's a free country.
45:14
Last time I checked,
45:16
it has been for two hundred fifty years
45:17
now.
45:18
Oh, I love that, like,
45:20
they keep saying that he surrounded
45:22
himself with yes-men and blah-blah.
45:24
Again...
45:26
He is a one-man entity at that point
45:28
in time.
45:29
He can surround himself with whoever the
45:31
hell he wants.
45:33
We got no say in it because it's
45:35
his money, his company,
45:38
and he can do whatever he wants with
45:39
it.
45:39
I think that's where CrossFitters get
45:42
caught up in stuff is that we feel
45:46
because we are part of this community,
45:48
we have a say.
45:52
And when I first joined my affiliate,
45:53
it was so tiny.
45:55
I felt like a founding member.
45:57
Maybe I was a founding member.
45:58
And I felt like I could tell the
46:00
owner of my gym how he should run
46:02
his business.
46:03
Because you've been there since...
46:04
At some point, I'm like,
46:07
I don't have the right.
46:08
I didn't put any money into this business.
46:10
I have no right to tell him what
46:12
to do.
46:13
I pay you a hundred and fifty bucks
46:14
a month and I think I should,
46:16
I think I should tell you like how
46:19
many rolls of toilet paper you should have
46:20
in the bathroom.
46:21
No dude, that's not how it works.
46:23
It's not how any kind of business works.
46:25
You don't get to walk into McDonald's and
46:26
be like,
46:27
I want chicken spaghetti right now.
46:30
They're going to ask you how to do
46:31
it.
46:31
Yeah.
46:33
Now,
46:33
if he came to me and asked me
46:34
for advice,
46:35
which he did it back in the day.
46:37
Sure.
46:38
Then it's solicited and I,
46:41
But I think that that line gets blurred
46:43
with a lot of people in CrossFit gyms
46:47
and stuff like that.
46:51
So it is what it is.
46:54
Seen it happen.
46:55
Not just at a horse,
46:55
but lots of different places where people
46:57
get too big for their bridges and think
46:58
that they should be telling people how to
46:59
run the place.
47:00
Bro, it don't work that way.
47:02
Does not work that way.
47:03
It's like walking into any kind of
47:05
business and just demanding stuff that you
47:07
think you deserve because you spend money
47:09
there.
47:09
That's insane.
47:10
That's what crazy people do.
47:14
Yeah.
47:16
So that's why I just,
47:17
there is a curiosity,
47:19
but because like he stiffed me,
47:22
I'll never read the book now.
47:23
Yeah.
47:24
If you're going to come on here or
47:26
message you, have a conversation, hey,
47:29
I would like to be on your thing
47:30
to promote this thing.
47:32
Well, I haven't actually read it.
47:34
I don't know what I would talk about.
47:36
It would just be you talking, right?
47:39
It would have been him talking and you
47:41
asking questions with no kind of frame of
47:42
reference because you haven't read the
47:43
thing.
47:44
Okay.
47:45
which is not how you conduct interviews
47:48
whatsoever.
47:48
Like you don't ever, Scott,
47:50
in case y'all didn't know,
47:51
Scott's never had anybody on here that he
47:54
knew nothing about.
47:57
Like that's just not how that works.
47:59
Even when I came on like a couple
48:01
of times before I was ever a member
48:03
of this place and we had, you know,
48:06
the couple of those shows that we did,
48:07
like we had conversations before I ever
48:09
came on.
48:11
And I research everybody that ever comes
48:13
on this show as you should,
48:15
because you have no idea what these people
48:18
are going to say when you get on
48:19
here, like plain and simple.
48:21
So like that,
48:22
that seems absolutely insane to me,
48:25
but on top of that to go,
48:26
Oh yeah, no,
48:27
I'll have my people send your people a
48:30
thing.
48:30
And then when you read it,
48:31
then I can come on then like, sure.
48:32
Absolutely.
48:33
Cause that makes sure that that actually
48:36
happens.
48:37
Meredith says,
48:38
I didn't realize it was a thing for
48:39
authors to offer to be on podcasts,
48:41
I guess,
48:41
if they're trying to be on the marketing
48:43
circuit.
48:43
But still, I get emails all the time.
48:50
A couple of months of people wanting to
48:53
come on the podcast.
48:56
For various reasons, I'm sure.
48:59
But a lot of times the subject matter
49:01
that they're proposing doesn't really
49:03
align with anything we're doing.
49:07
Honestly,
49:08
I've pretty much ignored all of them.
49:12
I will just say.
49:16
But I get a handful a month.
49:17
Yeah, I'm sure you do.
49:20
And then some of them have agents and
49:22
then I get them like three times a
49:24
month,
49:24
the same request over and over again.
49:27
Hey,
49:27
just reaching back out to see if you
49:29
had a decision on that thing yet.
49:30
Hey, just, you know,
49:31
reach back out one more time.
49:40
Yeah, there you go.
49:43
He did say that at this moment.
49:45
Greg said he sat with the guy,
49:46
but apparently he wrote things how he
49:48
wanted them to be,
49:49
not how Greg actually said it happened.
49:52
And again,
49:53
I don't care how Greg did things.
49:58
It's his money.
50:03
If the man wanted to spend it on
50:04
hookers and blow,
50:05
the man can spend it on hookers and
50:06
blow.
50:08
It's his money.
50:10
Now,
50:11
police officers may have something to say
50:13
about it, but...
50:18
Just reaching out to let you know your
50:19
course warranty is expiring soon.
50:23
That's what it feels like, Joseph,
50:24
when they send me this stuff.
50:27
Only I get the full bio of the
50:28
author and what they've accomplished and
50:31
everything.
50:32
That...
50:37
No, to summarize, no,
50:39
I don't think you're being petty
50:39
whatsoever.
50:41
Or if that's the definition of petty,
50:43
then I am, again,
50:45
Tom Petty because I would have done the
50:46
exact same thing.
50:49
Like, yeah, hey,
50:49
send me a confirmation when they send me
50:51
the book so I know it's coming so
50:53
I can be on the lookout for it.
50:55
Right?
50:56
Like,
50:56
that would seem to be a pretty reasonable
50:58
thing to ask for.
51:00
And then no confirmation number.
51:02
And then I'm not reaching back out to
51:03
you again, dog.
51:04
Like, that's not happening.
51:06
You are asking to do something and I'm
51:09
telling you, absolutely,
51:11
let's go through these steps.
51:13
And if you don't go through the steps,
51:14
then I'm not talking about it.
51:17
I'm not promoting it.
51:18
We're talking about it right now,
51:19
but that's kind of a different
51:20
relationship as far as I'm concerned.
51:23
But I'm certainly not about to just have
51:27
you on just so you can say things
51:29
that I have absolutely no idea and have
51:32
no frame of reference for.
51:35
That's what crazy people do.
51:43
And people saying that Greg was a bad
51:45
businessman,
51:46
just because he ran his business in a
51:48
way that you wouldn't have,
51:50
didn't make it bad.
51:52
He made CrossFit into something that was
51:55
so sellable that once he decided to sell
51:59
it, it sold in less than a week.
52:02
Yeah.
52:04
That's a wild take, dude.
52:06
That is a wild take.
52:07
From somebody in Greg who was riding his
52:10
bicycle to go train people because he did
52:13
not have a car to where he is
52:15
currently, but he was a bad businessman.
52:18
Okay.
52:19
That makes perfect sense.
52:22
took a one gym methodology and made it
52:26
into a two hundred million dollar business
52:29
at a minimum yeah but you know pretty
52:34
bad businessman yeah bananas dude he's
52:39
mentioned he was talking he talked about a
52:40
little bit a little bit about that uh
52:42
this morning as well
52:45
And Dale Saran was the one this morning.
52:47
His lawyer has been with him since Jesus
52:49
was a baby.
52:50
And Dale was just confirming.
52:51
Dale was just sitting there like, yeah,
52:53
this is all the stuff that happened.
52:59
So many years ago when I was at
53:00
Morning Chalk Up,
53:02
I was told that there's a lot of
53:03
this stuff that happened with Greg and the
53:05
business and blah, blah, blah.
53:06
Right.
53:08
and uh it was around the time that
53:10
there was a threat that that stuff was
53:12
going to get leaked to gq and the
53:14
new york post and all this stuff and
53:19
the morning chalk up had some paperwork
53:22
around that whole thing it all turned out
53:24
to be bs like all of it all
53:28
of it but it took me it took
53:30
me a while to get kind of past
53:31
that because
53:33
That's what I saw,
53:34
and that's all I knew was what I
53:36
saw in this paperwork.
53:37
But then as I've gotten deeper and deeper
53:40
into the CrossFit space and learned more
53:42
and more and more,
53:43
a lot of it wasn't even possible.
53:48
It's the people who go back and say
53:49
things like, oh, at this time,
53:52
on this date, this happened, blah, blah,
53:54
blah, whatever.
53:54
And then Greg goes back with the receipts
53:56
and is like, yeah,
53:57
I wasn't there at that time,
53:57
at that date.
54:00
And he's got like five people saying,
54:03
Backing him up, be like, yeah, no,
54:04
I was actually with him.
54:04
We were in Africa at that time talking
54:06
to whoever, whatnot.
54:08
Or the people that just speak to his
54:09
character about, and you go like, okay,
54:12
so you're telling me he's this lecherous
54:15
man who's doing all these unhinged things
54:18
and whatnot,
54:19
but is he also just stopping to talk
54:20
to random homeless people and ask them how
54:22
they got to be how they were and
54:25
buying them jackets and whatnot?
54:27
Okay, yeah,
54:28
those two things usually mesh up pretty
54:29
well.
54:31
I don't get it, dude.
54:32
I really don't get it.
54:33
All right, guys.
54:36
I'm going to get back to do finishing
54:38
up my training so someone can read a
54:41
PowerPoint to me.
54:43
