Lunch with the Clydesdale - All the WFP Talk of the last 24 Hours · Clydesdale Media Podcast

0:04
Everybody's talking about what's going to
0:06
happen with the World Fitness Project next
0:08
year.
0:10
So, so are we.
0:22
I love the chase and the hunt and
0:23
I set the pace when I'm running.
0:25
I always take what I want and I
0:26
always give it one hundred.
0:28
Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.
0:29
Play the game like it's nothing.
0:31
I'm always thankful for something.
0:32
Don't take for granted, stay humble.
0:34
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,
0:42
maybe it's the chemistry.
0:43
It's time to break up slowly.
0:59
You're muted.
1:01
Are you kidding me?
1:04
You're live now, but it didn't play the...
1:06
All right.
1:10
I'm good now.
1:11
Yeah.
1:11
All right.
1:13
Man, this Rodecaster,
1:14
I got to figure out what's going on
1:17
with it.
1:17
I did not hear it at all.
1:19
And then you went to talk.
1:23
What the heck?
1:24
I can't even pull up stuff.
1:25
Corey is in the house.
1:27
Yes.
1:27
What's up, guys?
1:30
It's birthday week,
1:31
so we've got to plan out like tomorrow's
1:33
big adventure of hot sauce.
1:37
Just so everybody knows.
1:40
So for my birthday,
1:41
I'm going to go back and do some
1:43
hot sauce eating.
1:45
I used to get this subscription from
1:47
heatness.com.
1:49
It's a box that comes with three hot
1:57
sauces.
1:59
that were used on the Hot Ones YouTube
2:03
show.
2:06
They don't tell you how hot each one
2:08
is, so I've randomly picked two boxes.
2:12
It comes with a card as to what
2:15
the hot sauce is made out of.
2:17
I'm going to take a picture of this
2:19
to give to Corey and tomorrow while we're
2:21
talking about stuff.
2:24
And what makes this fun is you get
2:25
to shoot questions at me that I have
2:27
to answer while eating the hot sauce.
2:31
So we have two boxes randomly selected
2:34
from my collection.
2:37
didn't even like that's the first time
2:38
this box has been open is what you
2:40
just saw and I have a second box
2:42
right over here and I will cook up
2:47
some chicken tomorrow morning and I will
2:49
dab it on the top and we will
2:50
eat it and answer questions and talk about
2:54
CrossFit yes Frida it is the Russian
2:56
roulette of sauces exactly so I have no
3:00
idea what I'm getting into we are going
3:02
to just have fun with it it's going
3:03
to be fantastic
3:06
yeah if you have not seen i did
3:08
a full hot ones ten sauce challenge for
3:12
my birthday a few years ago it is
3:14
all still out there on youtube um my
3:18
ass was lit up pretty bad and i
3:21
think i drank a whole half gallon of
3:23
almond milk um a full beer and uh
3:27
water and some other stuff just basically
3:32
whatever you could find
3:33
I was trying everything, peanut butter.
3:36
I tried everything to get the heat out
3:38
of my mouth.
3:40
So, yeah, fun stuff.
3:43
But we got Jody.
3:44
We got Frida.
3:45
We got Judy.
3:46
We've got Joseph.
3:47
We've got Larry.
3:48
We've got Meredith.
3:50
We've got Trent Olive.
3:52
Amanda.
3:53
Amanda is able to join us for a
3:55
live episode.
3:58
So there's a lot to talk about.
3:59
We're going to pop around a bunch of
4:02
stuff.
4:02
We're going to get all chaotic today
4:03
because that's what happens when Corey's
4:05
here.
4:09
Man, that sounds like a cement mixer.
4:12
Just a random amount of shit that you
4:14
drank to try to.
4:15
Oh, yeah, it was crazy.
4:19
So I don't know if you guys have
4:20
seen,
4:20
but when someone retires and decides to
4:23
come back,
4:26
You get excited, right?
4:28
Like Philip Rivers, forty-four years old,
4:30
comes back and plays in the NFL.
4:33
You know,
4:34
poor thing doesn't win a single game while
4:36
he comes back,
4:37
but he shows that he could still play
4:39
a little bit in the NFL,
4:40
which is crazy.
4:42
And CrossFit has its own version happening
4:45
right now.
4:48
Craig Ritchie is competing in a functional
4:52
fitness competition.
4:57
I know everybody is excited to see Craig
5:01
Ritchie back in functional fitness.
5:05
He's back,
5:06
but he's still refusing to say CrossFit.
5:10
I was on the edge of my seat.
5:12
Matter of fact,
5:13
me and the wife and the kids went
5:16
out of town over the weekend.
5:17
That's all we could talk about was, man,
5:20
I wonder if Craig Ritchie is ever going
5:21
to do CrossFit again.
5:23
And sure enough, here we are.
5:28
he's functional fitness.
5:29
I'm assuming that's the same as CrossFit
5:35
without the licensing fee.
5:37
Um, Meredith, uh,
5:38
what has he been up to anyways?
5:39
I lost track.
5:40
Yeah.
5:41
I mean, me too,
5:42
but this popped up in my algorithm for
5:44
some reason.
5:46
Um, I couldn't believe it.
5:48
So yeah, he's all,
5:49
look how excited he is.
5:50
He seems excited.
5:52
He's talking to the legends and, uh,
5:57
Yeah, getting back into CrossFit.
6:00
Good for him.
6:02
Good for him.
6:03
I knew you'd be excited.
6:05
Oh, look,
6:05
if there's anybody who's a Craig Ritchie
6:08
fan, it's probably me.
6:11
Or not.
6:11
I mean, whatever.
6:12
Same thing.
6:13
Yeah.
6:14
I mean, I'll be honest.
6:15
When he first hit the scene and he
6:17
was, like,
6:18
hanging out with Tia and he was hanging
6:20
out with Justin and he was hanging out
6:22
with Matt and doing all this, like,
6:24
I really enjoyed his stuff.
6:26
When it became about just training videos
6:28
of him, like I totally lost interest.
6:34
It was a complete,
6:36
like we were on this path and then
6:39
he just made like a nine degree turn
6:41
that nobody else could follow because
6:44
nobody,
6:45
like they cared that you were talking to
6:47
actual CrossFit athletes.
6:50
Nobody cared when you just started doing
6:53
whatever it was,
6:54
the training that you were doing.
6:55
Like, sorry, dude.
6:57
You're not a games athlete.
6:58
People weren't interested in that.
6:59
It's just not a thing.
7:01
Or you're not a coach.
7:02
You're not trying to sell programming.
7:03
You're not trying to do like,
7:04
that's not what your channel ever was.
7:06
So it was very hard for people to
7:08
follow.
7:09
And then he really lost me when he
7:10
started like begging people for, well,
7:12
why aren't you people sending me money?
7:16
Really?
7:16
Well,
7:17
the sad story that his company was going
7:19
under because they got screwed on some
7:21
stuff.
7:22
And then the next week you see him
7:24
front row at the Vegas Grand Prix F-One
7:28
Series,
7:30
hanging out in the pit row with the
7:32
VIP tickets.
7:34
Yeah, I lost a little bit of my...
7:38
The luster wore off at that point,
7:42
for sure.
7:42
Trish says he's been doing PEDs.
7:47
Okay.
7:48
Yeah.
7:50
Didn't he aim for weightlifting comp for a
7:51
while?
7:52
Yeah.
7:53
And then I think, yeah,
7:55
I think that's kind of what his focus
7:56
has been.
7:57
I honestly have not watched maybe one
8:00
episode in the last couple of years.
8:05
That's one more than I have.
8:08
So we have a winner in the fantasy
8:13
football league.
8:13
Oh,
8:16
As per usual,
8:18
Jamie Latimer won the fantasy football
8:20
league.
8:21
So I have to send her the trophy,
8:22
which is a ring.
8:26
It looks like a championship ring.
8:28
It is a championship ring.
8:30
Twenty twenty five fantasy football
8:32
championship ring.
8:34
So she gets another trophy.
8:37
She's never going to let that go.
8:42
She is the most competitive person I've
8:44
ever met.
8:48
She's never going to let that go.
8:49
She had the best record in the regular
8:50
season.
8:51
She dominated the playoffs.
8:55
But the most impressive playoff was Andrew
8:58
Sten came into the playoffs in last place
9:02
and won enough games in the playoffs to
9:04
get to ninth out of twelve teams.
9:06
Good job, Sten.
9:08
Yeah, that's quite the improvement.
9:12
It's like winning the lottery or finding a
9:15
lottery ticket a day after it's expired.
9:17
Yeah,
9:18
that's pretty accurate at that point.
9:23
It's kind of like what the Saints are
9:24
doing right now.
9:24
It's on a four-game winning streak to
9:28
improve their record to six and ten.
9:31
Good job, boys.
9:34
Hottest team in the NFL when it doesn't
9:35
count.
9:36
When it doesn't matter, a hundred percent.
9:39
Corey looks like he's about to come break
9:41
my legs for not paying off my rental
9:42
furniture from his outlet store.
9:45
I have people that do that, Trish.
9:47
I'm not coming to it myself.
9:49
That would imply me actually getting my
9:51
hands dirty for something like that.
9:53
That's not how this works.
9:56
Also, pay your bill,
9:58
and I won't have to come break your
9:59
legs or send people to you.
10:01
Just saying.
10:03
So one more...
10:05
Andrew Sten in the house,
10:07
my player finally showed up to play.
10:10
Just like the Saints.
10:11
After he was eliminated from playoff
10:13
contention,
10:14
his players decided to pick up the pace.
10:21
So it's weird.
10:24
The Saints actually had an opportunity,
10:26
because the NFC South is so terrible,
10:28
to still get a playoff spot with a
10:32
six and ten record.
10:34
That was still in the cards.
10:37
This whole season has been insane.
10:39
It's been absolutely insane.
10:43
There's absolutely no favorite in the
10:44
playoffs this year.
10:46
If you are a gambling person,
10:47
this is not the playoffs to bet who's
10:49
going to win the Super Bowl because if
10:52
you know you're a better person than me.
10:56
The Colts called Philip Rivers who had
11:01
been retired for
11:04
What, five years?
11:06
Yeah.
11:08
He was just about to be nominated for
11:10
a Hall of Fame for being out for
11:12
five years.
11:13
Ten kids.
11:16
What, three grandkids?
11:17
Someone along those lines?
11:18
And they were like, hey, man,
11:19
I know you haven't played in five years,
11:21
but would you like to come be the
11:22
quarterback for the Colts?
11:22
And he's like, absolutely.
11:24
And he threw a couple touchdowns.
11:27
And, like,
11:27
he's playing with the same fire,
11:29
and it looks like he never –
11:32
really retired, you know,
11:33
as far from that standpoint or whatnot.
11:35
It looks like he quit doing sit-ups.
11:38
He definitely could probably use a little
11:40
bit of fitness work, but, you know,
11:41
I don't judge.
11:43
Good on him for still being out there.
11:45
But what I'm getting at is that if
11:46
that doesn't tell you everything you need
11:47
to know about the NFL this year,
11:50
is that out of all the people they
11:52
could have possibly called,
11:53
they were like,
11:54
you know who we ought to call?
11:56
Phillip Rivers.
11:59
And they were like, well,
11:59
he's about to get
12:01
like be on the ballot for hall of
12:02
fame.
12:03
And they're like, no.
12:07
All right.
12:07
Yeah.
12:08
He has more kids than a Minnesota daycare.
12:09
There you go.
12:12
That is a fact.
12:14
Louisiana's governor is the best LSU coach
12:17
of all time.
12:17
All right.
12:23
People who say shit like that have
12:24
absolutely no idea how the state run
12:27
system works down here.
12:28
State school system.
12:29
So I'll leave that alone.
12:36
One more thing before we get into some
12:38
WFP talk.
12:38
And then I know you have a good
12:39
story to tell.
12:40
I did.
12:41
Let me get to that too.
12:42
But one thing I found,
12:44
and this is just snarky Scott day.
12:46
So we started with Craig Ritchie.
12:50
The, the really big Trish had a nerve.
12:54
Yeah, I think so.
12:59
Sorry.
13:00
Morning Chaka posted.
13:02
Their favorite moments of.
13:06
Twenty twenty five.
13:08
Did you did you see this?
13:10
I did not.
13:11
I don't follow him anymore.
13:13
This.
13:15
This is the prime reason why the morning
13:18
chalk up is now a weekly newsletter.
13:22
Now.
13:23
So these are their favorite moments.
13:25
There's only three.
13:26
So it's not going to take me long.
13:27
Good.
13:29
Annika Greer punches her ticket to the
13:30
games.
13:33
No bigger Anika Greer fan than me.
13:35
I have been rooting for this girl for
13:38
six years.
13:40
Didn't even make my top ten of favorite
13:43
moments of the year.
13:45
But I'm happy for her.
13:47
I was glad for her.
13:49
But when you qualify for the games in
13:51
an online semi that you didn't even get
13:54
to watch...
13:56
Okay.
13:58
Favorite moment of the year.
13:59
Number two,
14:01
the Men's Rogue Invitational Podium Race.
14:05
That was a pretty good race.
14:09
Sure.
14:10
Adler pretty much had it sewn up all
14:13
day Sunday, but okay.
14:16
I'll give you that.
14:18
And then Justin Medeiros wins the Dukich
14:23
MVP Award at Waterpalooza SoCal.
14:27
Okay.
14:29
Those are the three favorite moments from
14:31
twenty twenty five.
14:35
Not Lucy Campbell going toe to toe with
14:37
Tia.
14:38
Not Jason Hopper winning the CrossFit
14:40
Games.
14:43
Not the whole Waterpalooza SoCal event
14:46
where Dallin Pepper gave him so much of
14:48
himself that he gave himself rhabdo.
14:52
None of that stuff.
14:55
this is the three you pick again.
15:01
Okay.
15:02
It's just another reason why I had,
15:04
I will, I,
15:05
this is the first time I've seen that.
15:07
And it's going to be the only time
15:08
I've seen that because I don't follow
15:11
them.
15:15
And that's why it's determined.
15:16
Scott, apparently it is cut up,
15:20
slips of paper, throw them in a hat,
15:22
shake it around and just pick out three.
15:24
Let me ask you this.
15:25
Who's we,
15:26
as far as the morning chocolate is
15:27
concerned, like who wrote that?
15:30
I don't know.
15:32
I don't know.
15:33
When I was with the morning chalk up,
15:34
there was this whole thing about,
15:37
you didn't put your name on anything
15:38
because we are a company.
15:40
We are one.
15:41
Okay.
15:42
It's not about individual glory.
15:44
It's about.
15:47
That seems kind of silly, but all right.
15:49
Sure.
15:51
Every newspaper in the world has a byline
15:53
with who wrote the article.
15:55
Because that's why you have a writer.
15:57
Right.
15:58
Yeah.
15:59
That is Jonathan.
16:04
I know you don't care.
16:06
I don't care.
16:07
That's the point.
16:07
I'm just being snarky Scott today.
16:10
Yeah.
16:10
And I'm just a week.
16:11
It's my birthday week and I can,
16:13
I can be snarky Scott for a day.
16:16
Today's my day for snarkiness.
16:18
I mean, good on them,
16:19
but that's their three favorite moments.
16:21
I feel like they were written by Annika,
16:24
Justin, and Jeff Adler.
16:27
Yeah.
16:31
Maybe that's just me.
16:31
Oh, that's good.
16:35
Kenneth Labs is probably Presley.
16:37
I don't think Presley works for them
16:38
anymore.
16:38
I think she is full HWPO.
16:46
anyway um so anyway that's just me being
16:48
snarky i know you don't care i don't
16:50
care i just found it funny that those
16:53
are the three things that you pick it's
16:57
been a wild year in crossfit uh two
17:01
out of three canadian probably was scott
17:03
who wrote it well that would make sense
17:06
with my canadian bias um but i would
17:09
have picked better stuff than
17:12
I mean,
17:12
freaking Lucy Campbell beating Laura
17:14
Horvat at the end of Wadapalooza when
17:18
they're both on the muscle-ups and Lucy
17:20
out-dueled her head-to-head.
17:22
That was freaking awesome.
17:26
Yeah, Jonathan, I think you're right.
17:27
Presley's full HWPO.
17:34
Okay, so.
17:37
Let's go.
17:38
You went to Mississippi.
17:40
I did.
17:41
And so we're going to do story time
17:44
with Corey.
17:46
So my wife decided a couple weeks ago
17:49
that, you know, between Thanksgiving,
17:53
Legends, Christmas, the whole nine yards,
17:55
she wanted to get away one last time
17:57
before we started the year over.
17:59
And we got back into the normal swing
18:00
of things.
18:01
So we just went to Biloxi for the
18:02
weekend,
18:02
which is like a two and a half
18:03
hour drive away.
18:05
And I said, OK,
18:06
we're going to do that.
18:07
I'm going to drop in somewhere.
18:08
And I went and dropped in at Bandit
18:10
CrossFit.
18:11
And I met a listener, Mr. Bruce,
18:16
who has actually hung out with Jamie and
18:19
Jim Peeper.
18:20
Whenever he was up there,
18:21
we went and dropped into a gym.
18:22
He said he spent a couple of days
18:24
with them and they tried to kill him.
18:26
And I said, I can understand that.
18:29
I said,
18:29
I've met Jim people before and I met
18:32
Jamie, you know,
18:33
on a couple of different occasions I've
18:34
seen Jim and, um, they're both ridiculous.
18:37
So good on you for even, but, uh,
18:40
it was cool.
18:41
Uh, I, you know,
18:44
dropped in and introduced myself to a
18:45
couple of people with their coaches and
18:47
whatnot.
18:47
It was kind of hanging out and he
18:49
came walk up and he said, Corey.
18:51
And I said, uh, yeah, he said, uh,
18:57
He said, hey, man, Bruce.
18:58
He said, you know, big fan of Clydesdale.
19:01
And I was like, oh, awesome, man.
19:02
Thank you.
19:03
That's pretty damn cool.
19:05
He said, yeah,
19:06
I don't really watch your show.
19:07
And I said,
19:11
I don't really get to make the lunchtime
19:13
shows.
19:13
I'm usually in the chat for a Sunday
19:16
night CrossFit talk with Jamie and
19:19
Carolyn.
19:20
And I was like, oh, no, man,
19:21
that's awesome.
19:23
But even the fact that he knew who
19:24
I was was kind of interesting in and
19:27
of itself.
19:28
But good people down there.
19:29
Highly recommend it if you are in the
19:30
area.
19:31
Bandit CrossFit.
19:34
And you say bandit like Smokey?
19:35
Bandit.
19:36
As in Smokey and the Bandit.
19:38
Correct.
19:40
Correct.
19:41
I grew up in Ocean Springs,
19:42
east of Biloxi.
19:43
It sucks now.
19:46
Well, they have a Bucky's there now, Mark,
19:51
that we stopped at.
19:52
Because I am...
19:54
I like to talk about it too much
19:56
mentioning it,
19:56
but I am contractually obligated,
19:58
obligated to stop at every Bucky's that I
19:59
come across and, uh,
20:01
go in there and get some snacks.
20:03
And, uh,
20:05
if it's the morning time before ten thirty
20:07
breakfast, brisket tacos.
20:10
So are the bomb.
20:13
It's absolutely ridiculous.
20:15
Um, and it's the.
20:20
Amanda, Corey,
20:21
I was in Lafayette this weekend.
20:22
It was seventy seven degrees,
20:23
vastly different than Maryland,
20:25
where I feel like it was seven this
20:28
morning.
20:29
It is like I know you're in the
20:31
south.
20:32
We had wind that shook my house all
20:35
day yesterday.
20:36
So if it makes you feel any better,
20:38
we were sitting last night.
20:41
I got back from the gym and we
20:42
were just sitting.
20:45
Hanging out and.
20:48
The wind,
20:48
because there's a front passing through
20:50
and it was loud enough to not shake
20:52
the house, but we could hear it.
20:54
Like I'm looking at Jennifer going,
20:55
she said, what is that?
20:56
It's the damn wind that's blowing.
20:58
Now it's forty three degrees here today.
21:03
I'm sure it's probably a little bit cooler
21:05
where you are.
21:07
We're like fifteen.
21:10
No, thank you.
21:11
No, thank you.
21:12
No, thank you.
21:12
No, thank you.
21:13
I don't know.
21:13
I don't want anything to do with fifteen
21:15
degrees.
21:17
uh, wants to know where,
21:18
who you got your contract through.
21:19
Uh,
21:20
he would like to ask for the same
21:21
contract.
21:21
I'll put it out.
21:22
I'll put them, I'll put them on you.
21:24
I'll put them on you.
21:25
But, uh, no,
21:26
the last thing I'll say about that is
21:27
so dropped in over there.
21:28
Great people.
21:29
Um, they had to,
21:30
they were doing their twelve days of
21:31
Christmas workout, which was fun.
21:34
Um, good, uh, good stuff.
21:35
So I had to go do that with
21:36
those people.
21:39
We went and
21:41
just did what my wife wanted to do
21:43
which is basically what they actually what
21:44
she said was to be bored in a
21:46
different place uh than home so we brought
21:49
the kids to uh one of the big
21:51
arcades and then go play and stuff like
21:53
that when i dinner saturday night we get
21:55
home sunday about twelve thirty and you
21:59
know this um all of us who are
22:01
forty plus forty five plus i know this
22:04
if you get a car for two and
22:05
a half hours
22:07
When you get out, it sucks.
22:09
Like everything's stiff, painful.
22:12
Like, you know,
22:12
you got to move around and stuff like
22:14
that.
22:16
So we got home at twelve thirty or
22:18
so,
22:19
unpacked everything and kind of putting
22:23
everything away and whatnot.
22:25
And Jennifer said,
22:26
I think I'm going to take a nap.
22:27
And I was like,
22:27
that sounds like a solid idea.
22:29
I am also going to take a nap.
22:30
And she looked at me and she said,
22:32
no, you're not.
22:35
You're going to go work out.
22:37
My wife kicked me out of the house
22:39
to go train Sunday afternoon.
22:43
That's a good wife.
22:48
If she ever gets tired of me,
22:49
I'm going to tell her to go take
22:49
a nap because she's stuck with me for
22:52
the rest of forever.
22:54
I was telling Brandon that actually Sunday
22:59
evening because from her coming to Legends
23:04
and seeing
23:05
like the whole leading up to this,
23:06
she was like, I'll be like, you know,
23:08
I'm going to compete.
23:08
I want to be in the final heat
23:10
or whatever.
23:11
She's like, no, you're going there.
23:12
Try to get on the podium.
23:13
And I was trying to explain to her
23:16
the best way I could,
23:16
that there's going to be actual games
23:18
athletes.
23:19
They're like younger people that are
23:21
coming, just coming into the age group.
23:23
Like if I'm in that top, then that's,
23:25
that's a win for me.
23:26
Right.
23:27
She didn't, she isn't,
23:29
I don't say nothing to understand,
23:30
but like,
23:31
She sees me at the gym and knows
23:34
what I do there,
23:35
knows the kind of work I'm putting in.
23:36
And so at one point Sunday before we
23:39
came back, she said.
23:42
So everybody was moving as fast as you
23:44
do.
23:45
And I went, yeah.
23:48
It's kind of it's kind of what was
23:50
happening and going on.
23:52
And so I think.
23:54
To her credit,
23:57
she didn't poo-poo any of that anymore.
23:59
She was just kind of more like,
24:00
holy smokes,
24:03
for you to be able to do what
24:04
you do,
24:05
this is why you do what you do.
24:07
The sacrifices that I've put up go through
24:10
the training and all that other stuff.
24:11
So for her to say, no,
24:14
you're not taking a nap.
24:15
I know we just had a two and
24:16
a half hour car ride back from your
24:17
stiff as shit,
24:18
but you need to go to the gym
24:19
and go work out.
24:21
That's what I did.
24:22
So mad props to my wife.
24:25
So Joseph and Amanda were having a
24:27
conversation of where in Maryland Amanda
24:29
lives.
24:30
She said technically the Eastern Shore,
24:32
but Stevensonville, Kent Island.
24:34
So I had to make a visit to
24:40
the Eastern Shore of Maryland from
24:42
Columbus.
24:44
I was on a plane so small that
24:47
my coworker and I were told we flew
24:49
to Philly and then we flew a small
24:51
plane from Philly to the Eastern shore.
24:54
And my coworker and I were told you
24:56
have to sit on opposite sides of the
24:57
plane.
24:58
So we stay balanced.
25:03
That's how,
25:04
that's how small the plane was.
25:06
We flew to,
25:08
Excuse me, Mr. Schweitzer,
25:09
I'm going to need you to get on
25:10
that side,
25:11
and I'm going to need you to be
25:12
on that side.
25:13
My coworker was like six, four,
25:16
two-eighty basketball player.
25:19
Yeah.
25:20
That's hilarious.
25:22
That's hilarious.
25:23
The only time I've ever been on one
25:24
that small,
25:26
it was taking one from Dallas to Houston,
25:29
and then I was going to fly from
25:30
Houston back to home.
25:31
And from Dallas to Houston,
25:32
we flew through a thunderstorm, right?
25:35
And it's a little...
25:36
Two seats on this side,
25:37
two seats on that side type deal.
25:39
And I was on the aisle seat and
25:40
there was a lady sitting next to me.
25:42
We're flying through a thunderstorm, dude.
25:43
Like I've never seen anything like it.
25:45
You can see the lightning jumping from
25:48
cloud to cloud.
25:49
So I'm leaning over her to look out
25:52
the window.
25:52
And at one point she said,
25:54
do you want to switch spots?
25:56
And I was like, no, I'm good.
25:57
I just,
25:57
I'm as close as I want to get.
25:59
I just want to be able to see.
26:02
Yeah, it was not a great experience.
26:07
Tallahassee didn't have jet service when I
26:09
lived there.
26:10
So I've flown on a lot of small
26:12
planes.
26:13
One to New Orleans where I flew over
26:15
a hurricane.
26:16
That was insanity.
26:18
But yeah, that time where they actually,
26:22
because it was only one seat on each
26:24
side and only four rows.
26:27
they were like yeah yeah jim and scott
26:29
you got to go on opposite sides of
26:30
the plane so we can stay balanced and
26:33
i was like holy hell it was almost
26:36
like that it was almost a rubber band
26:37
propelled plane they probably they had
26:39
somebody go outside and grab the propeller
26:41
and be like contact and then smash it
26:44
down
26:48
Yeah, there was no, like,
26:50
we had to go out onto the tarmac
26:51
and then up the steps and in.
26:53
It was not a, yeah,
26:55
there was no jet way out to the
26:57
plane.
26:58
And when we landed in Maryland, literally,
27:01
it looked like you pulled up to a
27:03
Sunoco station.
27:05
It looked like an airport.
27:06
It was the damnedest thing I've ever seen
27:10
in my life.
27:12
There's a dude out there with a little,
27:13
like, engineer hat on.
27:15
with some dirty overalls.
27:17
We had a rag,
27:18
just wiping some stuff down.
27:20
You boys getting off this plane or y'all
27:22
catching it again?
27:23
I got to put some fuel in it,
27:25
check the air and the tires.
27:26
Holy smokes, dude.
27:28
I'm going to fill her up for the
27:31
return trip.
27:34
Check the oil while you're at your
27:35
conference.
27:39
That's fantastic.
27:41
All right, man,
27:41
let's get back into some fitness talk.
27:44
I didn't get to see the full episode
27:46
of Boys Interrupted,
27:46
but Dents posted this and I thought it
27:49
was a great talking point.
27:51
So Jenny posted this on her site.
27:53
It's from Boys Interrupted.
27:54
I'm going to share my screen.
27:57
And it's the Boys Interrupted minus Hopper
28:01
talking about the World Fitness Project
28:03
for next season.
28:07
It's unknown that there's athletes that
28:11
are considering if they're going to do the
28:13
project next year or not.
28:15
Everyone's asking,
28:15
what are you guys doing this year?
28:16
I'm going to do it as long as
28:17
it does interfere with me trying to win
28:19
the CrossFit Games.
28:20
Yeah, we need the schedule,
28:22
which we should be getting soon.
28:25
Yeah,
28:27
I'd like to see the schedule and how
28:28
many I've heard different numbers of how
28:31
many events all those things matter a lot.
28:34
I think next year there's obviously I
28:36
don't think it's unknown.
28:38
So
28:40
what this is clearly stating is there is
28:44
a priority on the CrossFit game season
28:47
over the WFP.
28:49
The WFP will be done only if it
28:52
fits within the calendar to make sense for
28:55
these athletes.
28:58
That James said it perfectly.
29:00
I will compete as long as it doesn't
29:03
interfere with me trying to win the
29:04
CrossFit games.
29:06
And he has a legitimate shot to actually
29:08
win the CrossFit Games.
29:09
It's not like if I was staying.
29:13
All of these three have a legit shot.
29:15
Yeah.
29:16
All of them.
29:18
And the guy who wasn't there because he
29:19
was not feeling well or whatever the case
29:22
may be.
29:22
Just won the CrossFit Games.
29:24
Just won the CrossFit Games.
29:25
So yeah, one hundred percent.
29:28
Yes.
29:31
Jenny,
29:31
I'm surprised they haven't released the
29:32
schedule yet.
29:34
I'm wondering if they are in scramble mode
29:37
knowing that they are now the lower tier.
29:41
It is obvious.
29:42
The high-end athletes are saying they are
29:45
the lower tier, and it affects them.
29:51
Now they're probably scrambling to make
29:52
sure that they fit within the season so
29:56
that they can keep as many of them
29:57
as possible.
29:59
Well, here's the thing.
30:00
The season's been out.
30:02
we know what the season's good crossfit
30:04
season yeah but the wfp have to find
30:08
venues they have to find the places to
30:11
go and be able to schedule them to
30:13
be able to release their own schedule and
30:15
it's probably what's holding it up because
30:17
will i think
30:20
Yeah, Jenny says it here.
30:21
Will said earlier this year they would
30:23
release next year's way before anyone
30:25
else, but yet here we are.
30:26
And I think it's because they have come
30:28
finally to the realization that they are a
30:32
lower tier competition season than the
30:34
CrossFit Games.
30:35
And now they're going to have to find
30:36
a way to fit and they have to
30:38
go get new locations, new venues,
30:42
and get contracts with all of that to
30:45
set up their schedule.
30:47
And all the logistics that's involved with
30:49
that, right?
30:50
getting equipment there, volunteers,
30:54
paid volunteers, whatever the case may be,
30:56
medical staff, all of that shit.
30:59
It all needs to be in place.
31:05
Freda said they probably thought the
31:06
CrossFit would dally as in prior years.
31:11
Here's my thing.
31:12
If I'm WFP and I see what's happening
31:15
on the CrossFit side,
31:15
because you know they're paying attention.
31:17
They can't not.
31:19
As soon as I see that, oh,
31:21
they just released their entire schedule,
31:23
I'm jumping on that right there.
31:25
Okay, well,
31:26
here's where their schedule is.
31:27
So let's go, you know,
31:30
if we're going to have overlap,
31:31
if we're not going to have overlap.
31:32
Like you're on it at that point.
31:34
You have to be.
31:36
I would think so anyway if you want
31:38
to continue doing what you're doing and
31:39
have what we just saw is a potential
31:43
one, two,
31:43
three at the CrossFit Games on the men's
31:45
side, right?
31:45
Those three dudes.
31:47
not counting Jason, who wasn't there,
31:49
right?
31:50
Those are three of them,
31:51
and they all just said, oh,
31:53
I'm not going if it's not,
31:55
if it's going to interfere with me trying
31:57
to win the games.
31:58
So why would you not have that as
32:01
your number one priority to schedule it to
32:04
where, well, I want these guys here,
32:07
if at all possible.
32:09
And the same thing on the women's side,
32:10
because I'm sure the women are saying the
32:13
same thing that the guys are,
32:14
like the ones who want to win the
32:15
games.
32:17
are saying the same things that the guys
32:19
are.
32:19
I want to be the fittest on earth.
32:21
I will do this other thing because it
32:23
puts money in my pocket and I had
32:24
a good time doing it.
32:26
I want to be the fittest on earth,
32:29
period.
32:30
Right.
32:32
I think Jonathan's making this argument
32:35
that it's just a week after their finals
32:37
or a couple weeks after their finals.
32:40
If you're securing venues,
32:43
you want to do it at least a
32:44
year ahead of time.
32:45
The longer out you can schedule it,
32:47
the cheaper it gets for you.
32:50
So I'm assuming that they had a plan.
32:53
And if you listen to the podcast that
32:56
had been leaked,
32:56
that they were trying to get venues and
32:59
they talked to Torian,
33:01
they talked to some of these other
33:02
locations.
33:03
They've been working on this schedule for
33:05
a long time.
33:07
So they could have released this at any
33:09
point.
33:10
I truly think they looked in the mirror
33:11
and said, oh shit,
33:14
we're going to lose all of the top
33:16
end athletes if we don't make this fit
33:18
better into next season's schedule.
33:21
and had to scrap all their plans and
33:24
now have to find new venues,
33:25
new locations to make it work.
33:28
And like I said,
33:28
I think they should do it more in
33:30
Europe, in Australia,
33:31
than they do it in the US.
33:33
It is abundantly clear that the crowds
33:36
were much more receptive for what happened
33:38
in Europe than they were in the US.
33:40
And use those places to build your brand.
33:45
Because without that,
33:48
you're going to go nowhere.
33:51
And we're going to talk about the Hiller
33:52
video that came out yesterday that
33:55
demonstrates that really, really well.
34:00
Which,
34:04
the one he put on the Hiller fit?
34:07
I believe so.
34:08
He interviews a gym in Indianapolis who is
34:12
a CrossFit affiliate.
34:13
They are a WFP affiliate,
34:16
and they're a High Rocks affiliate.
34:17
Oh, I didn't see that one.
34:20
And they actually talk about what each one
34:22
brings to the table.
34:23
Oh, I need to watch that.
34:26
I didn't see that at all.
34:27
Yeah.
34:28
Jenny says they were the ones saying
34:29
CrossFit should release it sooner.
34:31
And now they are not.
34:32
It's the hypocrisy for me.
34:34
And earlier she said,
34:35
Will shouldn't make statements he can't
34:36
follow through on.
34:39
And I think it's,
34:40
For Will,
34:41
and not to make excuses for him,
34:43
it's a moving target.
34:44
They thought they were going to come in
34:47
and be a shift in the system,
34:52
and they're not.
34:54
And they had to come to a realization.
34:57
They had to look at themselves and tell
35:00
themselves the truth,
35:01
which they have not done for the majority
35:03
of last year, and say,
35:05
we are not going to be able to
35:06
compete with the CrossFit Games.
35:08
We have to now establish ourselves as
35:10
something different.
35:15
So...
35:21
Jonathan, okay,
35:23
how long did it take CrossFit to release
35:25
a schedule early?
35:27
But Jonathan,
35:28
the WFP came in saying they were going
35:30
to be better than CrossFit.
35:33
They had learned all the mistakes that
35:34
CrossFit had made,
35:36
and they were going to correct those,
35:38
and they were going to be better than
35:39
CrossFit.
35:40
You don't come in bombastic making those
35:43
statements and then fall short on
35:46
everything you promised.
35:48
Or the athletes.
35:51
For the athletes, by the athletes.
35:56
And that's the issue.
35:57
They should have learned from what they
35:59
saw going on.
36:00
They know what the complaints are.
36:02
They know what people were upset about.
36:05
Then make all these promises that you
36:07
don't fulfill on anything.
36:14
The reason why I say for the athletes,
36:15
by the athletes is that
36:17
you're, you're coming across as like,
36:20
you're speaking for the athletes at that
36:21
point, right?
36:23
Oh, we're for the athletes.
36:24
We're by the athletes.
36:25
We're going to do things better because we
36:27
know,
36:27
because we've been the athletes and seen
36:29
what's happening and going on.
36:31
And in it,
36:32
you just can't follow through on that
36:34
because whatever reason you just don't,
36:38
because it's,
36:38
you have these pie in the sky ideas
36:42
for some of the stuff,
36:43
some of the stuff they did do better.
36:45
Um,
36:45
I mean, we've gone over that.
36:47
Some of the stuff we did like,
36:48
some of the stuff we didn't like,
36:49
some of the stuff that they said they
36:50
did,
36:50
and a lot of the stuff I should
36:51
say they said they did,
36:52
they didn't actually do.
36:55
And what Jenny just said right there.
36:58
Hold on.
36:58
Vindicate said,
36:59
do you think they ever had a plan?
37:01
I don't know.
37:02
I don't know if they came out swinging
37:04
like they did,
37:06
but who knows if they actually did have
37:08
a plan.
37:12
then jenny says they underestimated
37:14
everything it takes to run a successful
37:15
season that is the truest thing anybody
37:19
has ever said about if you look at
37:21
the whole of their season of their plan
37:23
whatever it was from when they said oh
37:26
we're going to offer affiliates okay what
37:30
does that look like uh we don't know
37:31
tell us what you want that's not a
37:33
plan
37:35
right and what Jenny just said they just
37:38
underestimated what it actually takes
37:41
because you've never run a season before
37:43
you've been in a season before and you've
37:45
been part of it but there's a way
37:48
way different from just being an athlete
37:52
showing up competing being that part of
37:55
that process as opposed to being the you
37:58
know the Jason Ansley's of the world who
38:00
was putting on this entire show that's
38:02
going on the Dave Castro's of the world
38:04
the
38:05
you know, name somebody,
38:09
it's two completely different things.
38:11
So you can't just look at it and
38:13
go, oh, we can do that.
38:16
I got all this money.
38:18
Surely with all this money,
38:19
I can do all these things that CrossFit
38:22
can do because we have all this money.
38:25
Well, even though the sport is still very,
38:28
very new and very,
38:29
very much in its infancy,
38:31
they've still been doing it for twenty
38:32
years.
38:35
Holly, the crack researcher that she is,
38:37
gives us a quote from the great Michael
38:40
Scott.
38:42
Sometimes I'll start a sentence and I
38:44
don't know where it's going.
38:45
I just hope to find it somewhere along
38:46
the way, like an improv conversation.
38:49
An improvisation.
38:50
That's why she's the best in the business.
38:59
I love Holly.
39:01
She does the correct research for us to
39:04
bring us those types of things.
39:10
Terry,
39:10
Will is tremendously inexperienced at
39:12
running competition,
39:13
and he is surrounded by people with even
39:14
less experience.
39:15
He does have people like Jason Ainsley
39:17
around him that are experienced in this,
39:21
not at the grand level that they promised
39:25
it to be, though.
39:29
I've competed in one of Jason's events,
39:32
and it was fantastic.
39:34
I got to say it.
39:34
That was one event.
39:37
Jenny,
39:38
they started this emotionally and not
39:39
logically from the start.
39:41
They set themselves up for failure,
39:42
and now they have to figure out how
39:44
to pivot.
39:46
I have been preaching that myself for
39:48
months,
39:48
saying that they built this on a
39:50
foundation of a tragedy.
39:54
And that is not a concrete foundation to
39:57
start a business of any kind on.
40:03
Will's biggest mistake was not offering
40:05
Wilson Pack half a million dollars to run
40:07
the season.
40:08
Amen, sister.
40:11
I sat and talked...
40:15
And I shared this, what, a week ago?
40:18
That Wilson has moved into my
40:20
neighborhood.
40:20
He lives fifteen minutes up the street
40:22
from me now.
40:23
Wilson.
40:24
And we had coffee.
40:26
And I learned as much in that hour
40:28
and a half conversation about competitions
40:32
that I have learned in six years of
40:35
media.
40:36
Like,
40:36
that man forgot more than I have ever
40:40
known.
40:46
Judy Reed, I give them props for trying.
40:47
It's the way they went about it.
40:49
And that kind of leads me to the
40:51
other point.
40:51
And that is that Hiller put out a
40:54
video where he interviewed a gym owner in
40:56
Indianapolis who is a World Fitness
40:58
Project affiliate and a CrossFit
41:00
affiliate,
41:02
in addition to being a High Rocks
41:03
affiliate as well.
41:04
And his attitude was,
41:06
I wanted to see what it was.
41:07
And the only way to truly know is
41:09
to join up and see what they were
41:11
going to offer.
41:13
And then I could talk to my people
41:14
about what that meant and whether it made
41:16
sense for us or not.
41:18
But there's no way to truly know unless
41:20
I dive in and do it.
41:21
Right.
41:22
And Hiller asked him flat out,
41:24
what have you received from World Fitness
41:28
Project as part of you being an affiliate?
41:31
And he said, absolutely nothing.
41:36
Absolutely nothing.
41:40
And if that's your answer,
41:43
That is the biggest,
41:45
that was the fatal flaw of the World
41:47
Fitness Project.
41:49
You had people that didn't like what you
41:51
were doing and then you had a group
41:53
of people going, well, let's wait and see.
41:56
And then you tried to come up with
41:58
your own affiliate program and you lost
42:01
everybody who was half-ass interested.
42:06
And not only did you do that,
42:07
you did it for a decision that you're
42:09
not even following through on.
42:12
You're giving those affiliate owners
42:14
absolutely nothing.
42:16
You could give a shit less about your
42:18
affiliate program.
42:23
And it's obvious.
42:24
And that was your fatal flaw.
42:25
There may have been other ones to come,
42:28
but the minute you decided to create an
42:31
affiliate program, you alienated.
42:35
Seventy five percent of the CrossFit
42:37
space.
42:41
The minute you did it.
42:44
And for what?
42:45
You're not even doing anything with it.
42:48
All you did was blow up your plan
42:50
if you had a plan.
42:56
I don't know.
43:04
Sounds like another smear campaign.
43:06
Careful, Scott.
43:09
What Frida said right there.
43:12
It's always better to start small and
43:14
focused.
43:16
Do one thing and do it well.
43:21
When you do one thing and do it
43:23
well,
43:23
it's what Greg's been preaching forever.
43:25
Focus on this is what we do.
43:29
do that well and let everything else fall
43:32
into place and just keep doing it well
43:34
and just keep doing it well.
43:36
And it's going to grow organically.
43:37
That's how that, that's how that,
43:39
that's how it works.
43:40
Instead of I got a billion dollars and
43:43
I'm going to use as much of it
43:45
as I can and hope that it's okay.
43:52
Uh,
43:52
apparently it is smear and snarky Tuesday
43:55
here on the Clydesdale.
43:59
Um,
44:00
Jenny says they really should pivot to all
44:02
European.
44:03
Like Ortega says, he's heard rumors of,
44:05
I've been saying that for a couple of
44:06
weeks.
44:06
It's the only way they're going to
44:08
survive.
44:09
They have shown that the only audience
44:11
they can draw in is in Europe and
44:14
maybe Australia,
44:15
maybe some of these other places around
44:17
the world.
44:18
They can try to do stuff at most,
44:20
at most you should have one us stop
44:22
on the tour.
44:25
just to kind of appease some of the
44:27
higher-end athletes so they don't have to
44:29
travel overseas for everything.
44:32
Correct.
44:33
And maybe if you take it down to
44:35
just one,
44:36
maybe you get a little bit more attendance
44:39
with just one stop.
44:41
Who knows?
44:42
But Europe showed up on Saturday and
44:44
Sunday for the finals.
44:47
And that's not... No, not at all.
44:52
Not at all.
44:52
And like the boys were saying, the...
44:55
the the sunday especially like the
44:58
atmosphere was electric like people were
44:59
on their feet uh pepper was talking about
45:03
it this morning saying like they were they
45:05
were doing chants and they were at
45:07
noisemakers like he said it felt like
45:09
going to a european uh soccer match he
45:13
said and that was awesome but you're not
45:16
going to get that here it's just not
45:18
the same it's just it's just not the
45:20
same type of crowd
45:21
And like we said the other day,
45:22
there's already so many big competitions
45:26
here in the States.
45:29
Instead of adding one,
45:31
which would have been okay,
45:32
you decided to add two.
45:33
Well,
45:33
now you're splitting the population
45:35
because people who are going to attend one
45:37
are probably not going to attend two if
45:40
it's the same thing with the same people,
45:42
just different workouts.
45:43
It's probably not going to happen.
45:48
Frida says a smear snarky Tuesday is the
45:50
best way to start off.
45:51
Start with the week off.
45:57
Train all of,
45:58
I think Corey answered a lot of this.
46:00
Why do you think people didn't show up
46:01
in the U S locations, marketing,
46:03
lack of interest?
46:04
I think they pissed off a lot of
46:06
people here in the U S and that
46:07
was one thing too.
46:09
We have a lot of options here in
46:11
the CrossFit space to be able to go
46:13
see the athletes and,
46:18
And they didn't do any marketing.
46:20
Their marketing this year was pathetic.
46:23
No.
46:25
And Hiller's pointed that out.
46:27
I've talked about it a lot,
46:28
that they had all these open gaps where
46:30
CrossFit was kind of at rest,
46:32
that they could have been just flooding
46:33
the market with their stuff,
46:35
and they didn't do any of it.
46:38
And then they released the workouts on a
46:40
holiday.
46:41
We talked about that.
46:43
Podcasts,
46:45
YouTube videos don't do anything on
46:48
Thanksgiving, Christmas.
46:50
They just don't.
46:54
They never have, and they're not going to.
46:57
Amanda,
46:58
we are already saturated with high-level
46:59
comps all year long in the U.S.,
47:02
And you have a lot of like these
47:03
mid majors where there's like really good
47:06
action to go watch live or,
47:08
and with community events that you can
47:10
participate in as well.
47:11
And people are choosing to do that as
47:13
opposed to like,
47:14
just go sit and watch people.
47:16
Right.
47:17
They can be a part of something rather
47:19
than.
47:22
What Travis is saying right there.
47:27
They were, he's not wrong.
47:29
I can go to water Palooza,
47:31
which is in Miami,
47:33
which is already at South beach,
47:35
which is already a travel destination.
47:38
If there wasn't a high level competition
47:40
going on,
47:41
or I could go to where was the
47:43
first one at Indiana, Indianapolis,
47:46
Indianapolis,
47:48
and not even like kind of a suburb.
47:50
Yeah.
47:53
I'm probably going to go to Miami.
47:56
Yeah.
47:56
Or you can go to Huntington beach,
47:57
California and watch what a blues of
47:59
SoCal.
48:01
You know, yeah.
48:03
I beat you to it, Jenny.
48:09
Jake's been talking about the affiliate
48:11
effect in that.
48:12
Like did anyone genuine,
48:15
genuinely think they ever would, whatever.
48:18
Did anyone ever genuinely think anything
48:20
they ever did would actually make a dent
48:24
on regular affiliates?
48:25
No.
48:26
Not at all.
48:28
So they did it just to piss people
48:29
off.
48:29
The only outcome was to anger people.
48:33
And you got a handful of affiliates to
48:35
try you out.
48:37
So that worked.
48:39
They got the pissing people off part down.
48:41
They got that figured right out.
48:44
They got that.
48:45
That's not even a question.
48:47
He also says,
48:48
I also don't think that many affiliate
48:49
members give much thought toward comps
48:51
these days.
48:52
We need to engage affiliate owners again
48:54
before we begin to think about starting
48:55
these new comps on the scene.
48:59
He's not wrong.
49:00
It depends on the gym.
49:04
It depends on the gym.
49:05
There are...
49:09
There are competitive gyms that think
49:10
about it all the time and there are
49:11
things that... Yes.
49:13
I'm just trying to think of my gym.
49:14
You know who Rich Froning is.
49:16
Right.
49:17
There's probably seven or eight people,
49:21
maybe ten total at my gym who sign
49:24
up for competitions regularly and
49:26
therefore they know who people are.
49:30
I'm trying to read Jake's messages.
49:33
I speak gobbledygook.
49:37
But there are gyms that I know of
49:40
that aren't far from me that like they
49:42
have a lot more competitive athletes.
49:44
Some of that's location.
49:45
Some of that's what you got going on
49:48
and whatnot.
49:48
But he ain't wrong.
49:52
He's very, very not wrong.
49:54
Yeah.
49:57
Affiliate owners drive engagement and the
50:00
open is the start of it all.
50:02
I completely agree.
50:03
I've told you guys my first gym that
50:05
I belonged to up until twenty twenty one.
50:08
The open was the biggest deal of the
50:10
year.
50:12
And some of those people didn't even know
50:13
there was a competition after the Open.
50:16
It was just we divided our gym up
50:18
into teams.
50:20
And the gym only did the Open workout
50:23
on Fridays and Saturdays.
50:24
And we roped it off.
50:25
We had a place for the crowd to
50:28
sit and cheer.
50:30
And it was like an event every year.
50:34
And we had a hundred and eighty people
50:37
sign up for the Open.
50:39
And we had like two hundred and fifty
50:40
members.
50:41
So that like, it was insanity.
50:47
Now it is a lot of work on
50:48
the affiliate owner and all the coaches to
50:51
come in and run all that and get
50:52
judges and all of that stuff.
50:55
But it was pure insanity.
50:57
And I,
50:57
and I loved every minute of it.
51:01
As a coach and a competitive athlete,
51:03
I will say it's a lot,
51:04
but I enjoy the shit out of it
51:06
when there's a lot of people there doing
51:09
it.
51:10
And I think that like people leading up
51:12
to it, you know,
51:14
you try to hype it up.
51:15
I know at our gym,
51:16
people are kind of blase about it most
51:18
of the time,
51:19
but once they actually get in it and
51:22
the heat start, did you see the people,
51:26
the competitive people who everybody,
51:29
if you were in a CrossFit gym,
51:30
I do not care what you actually say.
51:32
You are a competitive human being because
51:34
you were looking at your score and you
51:36
were trying to do well and you were
51:38
putting yourself in a position where,
51:41
you're leaving everything out on the floor
51:42
at least once or twice a week.
51:44
If you are a CrossFit athlete in a
51:47
gym, you are a competitive person.
51:49
When you get people to actually show up...
51:53
could be my wife's competitive person ever
51:57
she will stop in the middle of a
51:58
workout to go give a high five um
52:01
cheer someone on she could care less where
52:04
she finishes on the leaderboard but that
52:06
is the exception not the rule i right
52:09
one of my best friends in the entire
52:10
world um him and his wife when he
52:12
comes to the gym uh they were actually
52:14
there before i got there and uh jeff
52:17
won't
52:18
He won't judge his wife anymore because
52:22
she flat cussed him out in the middle
52:23
of it.
52:25
Oh, man,
52:26
which sometime around twenty twenty or
52:29
twenty twenty one.
52:30
So on those lines,
52:31
I was there for it.
52:32
It was fantastic.
52:34
Like she stopped and turned around and
52:36
like gave him one of these.
52:38
And he was like,
52:38
you're not getting low enough on your wall
52:40
balls.
52:41
And she flew on him.
52:42
It was fantastic.
52:44
But what I'm getting at is that the
52:45
people that do end up signing up.
52:48
Once you get in it,
52:49
and then they remember, oh, yeah,
52:52
this is actually fun, and they enjoy it,
52:54
and they beat themselves up sometimes.
52:59
I'm going to call you out, Larry.
53:00
I don't know, Corey.
53:01
I go and I don't care about beating
53:03
anybody in the gym.
53:04
Larry, I've seen your posts.
53:06
I've seen you.
53:07
You care about beating yourself.
53:09
You want to be better than you were
53:11
yesterday,
53:12
and it is very evident that you are
53:14
very competitive in making yourself
53:17
better.
53:18
And so shout out to Chase Ingram because
53:22
he's the one that said it a couple
53:23
of years ago.
53:24
I've been repeating it ad nauseum is the
53:27
the open is if nothing else,
53:30
even if you're I don't care about blah,
53:32
blah, blah.
53:33
It is your yearly fitness checkup.
53:35
Am I fitter than I was last year?
53:38
Can I finish three spots higher to twenty
53:40
spots higher,
53:41
a hundred spots higher than I did last
53:43
year in the open?
53:45
So I don't want to hear that.
53:46
I don't care about beating anybody.
53:48
Then you still need to beat yourself.
53:51
Like, yeah,
53:52
you want to be better than you were
53:53
yesterday for days.
53:55
I need to,
53:56
I need to be able to compete with
53:57
these cardio junkies.
53:58
And that's why he signed up for an
54:00
affiliate.
54:01
And that's why he's trying to make himself
54:02
better.
54:07
Therefore you care.

but rick beato who does a music podcast
55:03
that i listen to all the time was
55:05
talking about an artist who the record
55:09
label gave up on his song he loved
55:12
it he knew it was going to be
55:12
a hit he posted it a hundred and
55:15
thirty four times on different social
55:16
media accounts and then it became a hit
55:21
and it's because you don't give up and
55:24
what's awesome is

Forty-four percent of podcasts don't make
55:29
it past episode three.
55:32
Eight percent of podcasts don't make it
55:33
past episode ten.
