0:56

0:58
coming at you live on a Thursday afternoon
1:01
and look who became a member my little
1:04
sister your big sister apparently you know
1:08
what that deserves thank you so much vicky
1:14
appreciate you chick um
1:19
Yeah.
1:20
Dude,
1:21
I got two things to talk about before
1:23
we dive into things.
1:24
Let's go.
1:25
One,
1:25
my wife's head is the size of my
1:27
living room right now because of all the
1:29
comments.
1:31
Right.
1:32
She overslept this morning for work,
1:34
and I was like, what,
1:35
now that you're famous,
1:37
you just sleep in and go into work
1:39
when you want to?
1:42
I will attend to the peasants when I
1:44
feel the need.
1:47
Julie, probably.
1:48
Yeah.
1:49
Yeah.
1:50
So we got that.
1:50
And thank you everybody for the kind
1:52
comments.
1:53
She loved them.
1:55
And I do think that she'll do more
1:57
now because of the encouragement.
2:01
So,
2:01
and maybe I'll get her to go to
2:02
the games.
2:05
That'd be fantastic.
2:07
The other thing is,
2:08
why is it that like,
2:10
when you do a home improvement project,
2:13
if you're not making five trips to Home
2:14
Depot,
2:15
it's not a real home improvement project.
2:19
and it doesn't even matter what kind of
2:20
home improvement project like when we redo
2:22
the flower beds um outside of my house
2:25
dude like we'll go get mulch and then
2:27
we'll come back and then we figure out
2:29
that we need something else and then we
2:30
go and we come back and then my
2:32
wife's like well i also need this and
2:33
we can't find whatever and where's the
2:36
shovel i have absolutely no idea yeah no
2:39
it doesn't even matter what it is me
2:40
and home depot are that we're pretty close
2:44
Yeah, so I bought a retractable hose.
2:48
Yes.
2:49
Right?
2:50
So yesterday was I created the post into
2:53
the ground.
2:55
I painted it black.
2:56
I let it cure overnight.
2:59
went to put the bracket on today,
3:01
took the drill, screw it,
3:04
it just started like grinding, right?
3:06
So, all right, got to back them out,
3:08
go get a drill, pre-drill the hole,
3:11
pre-drill the hole, put the screw back in,
3:14
went further,
3:15
but still not the whole way in.
3:17
Okay,
3:18
let's go get a socket wrench and a
3:20
socket and we'll do this by hand.
3:23
Crank, crank, crank, crank.
3:25
So then I get the bracket on nice
3:27
and tight.
3:28
Then I have to get the reel with
3:30
the hose in it.
3:32
There are two holes there and two holes
3:34
in the bracket and a post.
3:36
I've got to drive down all the holes.
3:39
Okay.
3:42
Yeah.
3:43
And while I am a CrossFitter and the
3:47
hose was not too heavy,
3:50
it was not light either.
3:51
It's heavy enough.
3:52
Right.
3:53
As I'm trying to balance it and line
3:55
up all four holes and this post.
4:00
And then you're like jimmying it,
4:01
jimmying it, jimmying it, jimmying it.
4:03
And then all of a sudden,
4:04
it just like flunks to the bottom.
4:08
Now you got a whole new problem.
4:10
Well, it works.
4:12
It's set up.
4:14
It pivots.
4:15
I can, like,
4:16
pivot it out of the way.
4:18
And it's actually beautiful, man.
4:20
But it just is like, man,
4:24
thank God it just was trips to my
4:25
garage and not trips to Home Depot.
4:28
Yeah.
4:28
But every step in was like, oh,
4:30
my gosh, another...
4:33
Joseph was like,
4:34
is it really a successful home improvement
4:35
project without at least ten trips to
4:38
Lowe's or Home Depot?
4:40
Yes.
4:41
Bare minimum.
4:41
That is the bare minimum.
4:43
Bare minimum.
4:44
That is bare minimum.
4:45
A hundred percent.
4:48
It's because the first part you buy is
4:50
never the right size,
4:51
so you have to go back and buy
4:52
the correct part.
4:53
Then hours later,
4:54
you realize you need another piece tool
4:56
that you don't have.
4:59
Or that you did have,
4:59
but you can't find.
5:01
Right.
5:03
And you know it's here somewhere,
5:04
but I don't have time to look for
5:05
it, so I'll just go get another one.
5:07
That's how I ended up with, like,
5:09
I have five different ten millimeter
5:12
sockets.
5:14
Yeah,
5:15
on my on my on my to my
5:17
with my tools, at least that's best,
5:19
at least the minimum.
5:21
And only two of them are like different
5:22
ratchet sizes, like different.
5:24
Everything else is all fits on my my
5:27
my medium size.
5:28
It's really it's insane.
5:29
So that's what I bought that toolbox.
5:32
I showed a picture of on all that
5:34
stuff.
5:35
Right.
5:35
I'm buying all the organizers for inside
5:37
it.
5:38
I am so tired.
5:39
of not finding what I need when I
5:41
need it.
5:42
And I'm too old to deal with that
5:44
anymore.
5:45
That anguish is too much.
5:47
I've been needing to reorganize my sockets
5:50
since we moved into the house,
5:53
which was in twenty twenty.
5:57
I bought a socket sword for the drawer
6:01
that they're all labeled what size the
6:03
sockets are.
6:05
Yeah.
6:05
I've been needing to do that since then,
6:06
actually since before then.
6:08
But
6:09
it's such a daunting task because like i
6:12
probably got two hundred sockets and they
6:15
all go somewhere and i'm well aware that
6:17
they go somewhere but like the the and
6:21
then especially right now when it's ninety
6:23
seven degrees outside and a hundred and
6:26
ten inside my garage like i don't want
6:27
to be standing there doing that for an
6:29
hour or two hours however long it's going
6:30
to take amanda says corey my the amount
6:34
of things my husband is capable of losing
6:35
in the garage is mind-blowing
6:38
same i didn't know you we were married
6:39
no man that's like yeah i understand wayne
6:43
says guarantee guaranteed way to find a
6:45
tool by another one it'll show up yeah
6:47
that's also the fact i literally like as
6:50
i'm as i'm putting together this new
6:53
really nice toolbox i'm throwing so much
6:57
away because i have so many duplicates
7:00
yeah i wouldn't do that well dude
7:05
So my wife and I have made a
7:06
decision in the last couple of weeks that
7:08
we are going to retire back in
7:09
Pennsylvania.
7:11
Okay.
7:12
So my,
7:12
my thought process is hoarding time is
7:15
done.
7:16
Like,
7:16
cause cause when I retire in seven years,
7:20
I've got to pack all this up and
7:21
take it to PA.
7:22
That's fair.
7:24
Right?
7:25
So the last four weeks I have filled
7:29
my garbage can to the rim with things
7:32
in my house that
7:35
And I called them and got one bulk
7:37
pickup done.
7:39
That's my wife's dream job is just to
7:43
throw stuff away that she does not think
7:46
that we need.
7:48
Whether or not I actually need it or
7:49
not is immaterial.
7:53
She'll get on a stack and she'll be
7:55
like, mm-mm.
7:57
come home i'll go to looking for stuff
7:58
and i'm like i had it was right
7:59
here i knew it was right here i
8:01
saw it this morning oh yeah i threw
8:02
that away you needed that apparently not
8:08
Never throw away tools or scrap wood.
8:10
You might need it in twenty years.
8:12
One,
8:13
I'm not going to be in this house
8:15
in twenty years, so not keeping it.
8:17
And my mom is going through this thing
8:19
where my dad did that,
8:21
did exactly what Andrew is talking about.
8:24
He had coffee cans.
8:26
What?
8:26
They haven't made coffee cans in how long?
8:28
Oh, you probably still get a can.
8:31
And coffee cans full of nuts, screws,
8:35
washers.
8:37
And my dad died in twenty twenty.
8:40
And now my poor mom can't lift the
8:41
can.
8:44
My grandfather was one of sixteen.
8:46
All right.
8:47
So I'll tell you a little bit about
8:48
him right there.
8:49
Growing up in Louisiana was helping one of
8:54
his sisters one day tear apart and rebuild
8:56
her porch.
8:58
OK,
8:58
this was when he was probably seventy two
9:00
years old.
9:02
And as they're pulling nails out to pull
9:04
the old boards up,
9:05
he's sitting there straightening nails.
9:10
Right?
9:10
Pulls them out.
9:11
They crooked.
9:12
He's going to straighten them out and
9:13
putting them back in the can.
9:16
My aunt looked at him and said, Howard,
9:18
what are you doing?
9:19
He said, Matt, it's still good.
9:20
They just need, they just look.
9:24
I understand.
9:24
That's what I'm getting at.
9:25
Like been there, done that.
9:28
Like that dude,
9:29
he never threw anything away because you
9:30
never know when you might need it.
9:33
I was that way for a long time
9:34
and I've just like keeping things for
9:37
sentimental value.
9:38
Like it's in my head.
9:39
I don't need this thing anymore.
9:41
Right now, Shanna,
9:44
now that's going a bit too far.
9:45
No gym stuff is being thrown out.
9:49
What I'm hoping is by this,
9:51
the time this is done,
9:53
instead of a third or a quarter of
9:55
my garage being my gym,
9:57
half of my garage is my gym maybe
10:00
sold.
10:03
Maybe so.
10:06
If you have a reverse hyper in your
10:07
garage,
10:08
you can go ahead and sell it because
10:10
you ain't using it in front of anything
10:11
but a table.
10:12
We had a reverse hyper at the gym
10:14
for the first two years I was there
10:17
before Cecil finally sold it because all
10:18
anybody ever did was leaned up against it
10:21
and made protein shakes on top of it.
10:23
That pretty much was the beginning and
10:26
ending of that.
10:29
But even selling it, at some point,
10:31
you're going to look back and go, oh,
10:32
man, I shouldn't have sold that.
10:34
I got an oddball.
10:35
I got a sixty-five pound dumbbell.
10:37
I sold that dumbbell.
10:38
And then you're going to go back and
10:39
looking for it.
10:40
I could have used that sixty-five today.
10:43
I don't get rid of gym equipment either.
10:45
Well,
10:47
the place we would move in Pennsylvania is
10:50
a very large house.
10:53
And I could have a massive gym there.
10:56
in retirement and be like Tyson Bajan and
10:59
just CrossFit the hell out of my day.
11:02
CrossFit my face off.
11:03
I love that.
11:03
That was my favorite statement that he's
11:05
ever done.
11:08
Just CrossFit my face off and like I
11:10
said, get huge and ripped and jacked.
11:14
Love that dude.
11:16
You got to go through every can.
11:18
If he's like grandpa,
11:20
he stashed cash everywhere in the house
11:21
garage.
11:24
I grew up Poe.
11:25
He did not.
11:26
I will say this.
11:28
Him and my grandma died six months to
11:30
the day apart.
11:31
He passed away six months later than she
11:33
did.
11:34
My parents were going through their stuff,
11:37
trying to figure out
11:39
what money that they had,
11:41
what bank accounts, what all.
11:43
And the reason being is that they had,
11:45
they had living wills.
11:47
He left all of his stuff to my
11:49
grandma.
11:50
My grandma left all of this stuff to
11:51
him,
11:52
which FYI is a terrible way to do
11:54
that.
11:58
Yeah.
11:59
Don't do that.
12:00
If just,
12:00
I'm going to go ahead and just throw
12:01
that out there right now.
12:02
Bad idea.
12:03
And my dad never stored cash because we
12:05
had none.
12:06
And well, they,
12:07
I remember mom saying at one point she
12:09
didn't know if they had eighty dollars or
12:12
eight hundred thousand dollars because
12:13
like he worked turnarounds construction
12:16
his entire life and like would be gone
12:18
sometimes three four months at a time and
12:20
they live simply like the house had been
12:22
paid for forever right and they didn't I
12:25
don't think I think the most exciting
12:28
thing my grandpa ever bought was a brand
12:29
new f-one fifty at one point and that
12:31
was in like nineteen ninety six it's like
12:35
My dad made good money.
12:36
He just was laid off for so much
12:38
of the eighties.
12:39
Yeah.
12:40
Like, and it, and,
12:42
and then you're behind on everything
12:43
because you're,
12:45
you're laid off and he actually worked two
12:47
jobs late into the eighties to help catch
12:50
us up.
12:51
And then, thankfully,
12:54
after we left home and they raised my
12:56
nephew,
12:58
they went to Hawaii a couple times.
13:00
They went to Punta Cana.
13:03
They finally got to a place where they
13:04
could do what they wanted to do.
13:05
That's awesome.
13:11
I had a bunch of stuff,
13:12
but because we have to do a short
13:13
show today, I wanted to dive in this.
13:16
If we have time at the end,
13:17
we can talk about other stuff.
13:18
Hit it.
13:19
But Bruce Edwards appeared at the two
13:22
brains conference over last weekend.
13:26
They've been trickling out some of the
13:27
stuff and actually two brains on their
13:30
YouTube channel put the full conversation
13:33
with Bruce out.
13:35
Yeah.
13:35
I want to watch that at some point.
13:36
And I watched it all yesterday.
13:38
I took some notes.
13:40
Um, but before that, you know,
13:42
what helps you pay attention during that
13:44
time is third Z and a good night's
13:46
sleep and good recovery.
13:49
And Thirdsy just doesn't relax you.
13:52
It actually helps you recover.
13:54
And that's why it's better than everybody
13:56
else.
13:58
And you can get yours for fifteen percent
13:59
off at Thirdsy.com backslash Jazzy.
14:03
That is promo code Jazzy at checkout.
14:05
It'll get you fifteen percent off.
14:07
So with that being said,
14:09
I'm going to play this one clip and
14:12
I may play a second that Two Brains
14:14
put out on Instagram.
14:17
And this is him talking about the
14:19
de-affiliated affiliates.
14:23
We gave CrossFit a whole bunch of money
14:24
to go on a beer ride and they
14:25
never came back and they kept the money.
14:26
And I said, so I'm here.
14:28
I'm going to bring the beer back.
14:29
So there's a lot of affiliates like me
14:31
who were long time affiliates and then
14:33
de-affiliated.
14:35
What would you say to those affiliates in
14:37
the room?
14:37
I don't think de-affiliation is,
14:39
I don't think there's any shame about
14:41
that.
14:42
The important thing is listen to the
14:44
message or the messages because there's
14:46
more than one.
14:47
And when we do that and we create
14:49
a big
14:49
your community again,
14:50
then people will come back.
14:51
And if you're ready now, great.
14:52
If you aren't,
14:53
you're waiting to see and that's okay too.
14:56
The proof in the pudding for me and
14:58
the team is to put the value back
14:59
in.
15:00
We gave CrossFit a whole bunch of money
15:01
to go on a beer run and they
15:02
never came back and they kept the money.
15:03
And I said, so I'm here.
15:05
I'm going to bring the beer back.
15:06
So there's a lot of affiliates like me
15:08
who were long time affiliates and then
15:10
de-affiliated.
15:12
What would you say to those affiliates in
15:14
the room?
15:14
I don't think de-affiliation is,
15:16
I don't think there's any shame.
15:21
What I love about that is he's not
15:24
saying, we're not going to forgive you.
15:27
He's saying, I understand.
15:30
I understand why you would de-affiliate.
15:33
And because of that, you're welcome back.
15:36
And we're going to change the message.
15:38
We're going to make messages that are more
15:42
in line with what you as affiliate owners
15:44
need.
15:47
I feel like what he said was,
15:49
we are going to do stuff to warrant
15:53
you coming back because we want you back.
15:56
Like that's what I got out of that,
15:58
which is an outstanding first message to
16:01
get out to affiliates.
16:02
If they're listening,
16:03
if they're paying attention.
16:04
And the story at the beginning got kind
16:06
of cut off a little bit,
16:07
but he says that he has,
16:09
he had a friend that was an affiliate
16:11
owner and he felt like he was giving
16:13
beer money to CrossFit and they went on
16:16
a beer run and never came back and
16:17
never came back.
16:18
Yeah.
16:20
And, and he understood that.
16:23
and um and so he's he said i'm
16:27
here to bring the beer money back the
16:32
couple of clips i've seen several clips
16:35
i've seen actually i am highly encouraged
16:39
So here's a couple notes.
16:41
First,
16:41
I got to get this out of the
16:42
way because damn.
16:44
So Howie is giving us forty nine ninety
16:48
nine, not for us,
16:49
but for the ladies games fund.
16:51
And if you didn't listen to Sunday night,
16:54
once we know what Carolyn's doing after
16:56
this weekend,
16:57
I'm going to do a week where all
16:59
of the super chats go to fund them
17:02
getting to the games.
17:05
i'm also looking at i'm also looking we're
17:08
not doing that yet i'll put howie's in
17:10
that pot because but um we're not doing
17:14
it yet because i'm also looking at making
17:16
some t-shirts
17:18
Because we've not had any t-shirts with
17:20
the new logo,
17:22
with the horse with the barbell.
17:24
So I'm trying to figure out something with
17:26
that to also help them out to get
17:30
them to the games.
17:31
So thank you so much, Howie.
17:34
Appreciate it.
17:38
Here's a couple things that he said during
17:40
the thing that lit me up,
17:41
and that is,
17:44
we've got to bring media back.
17:46
That I was excited about.
17:49
And not only bring media back,
17:52
but realize that you, Corey,
17:56
your media is just as important as our
17:58
media HQ.
17:59
Yep.
18:01
That you telling your personal story means
18:04
as much to the general population as us
18:07
HQ driving it.
18:10
And together, it's a superpower.
18:14
he was there when all of that was
18:15
happening, when it initially happened,
18:17
he saw it firsthand.
18:19
So, so yeah,
18:21
we're going to do that again.
18:23
So I think, and he doesn't like,
18:26
there's not enough time in this interview
18:27
for him to go into detail.
18:28
Right.
18:29
But it sounded like,
18:31
like more sharing of stories that people
18:34
have already shared themselves.
18:36
Plus creation of the,
18:38
of new stories and right.
18:41
Sizing it.
18:43
As instead of so much games media,
18:47
more affiliate media.
18:49
Yeah.
18:49
More the, I,
18:51
I turned my life completely around.
18:53
I lost a hundred pounds and I can
18:54
play with my kids now and whatever,
18:57
like pick a thing.
18:58
Right.
18:59
Yeah.
19:00
More of that.
19:01
And the games are going to take care
19:02
of themselves.
19:04
Right.
19:06
If you build the community up,
19:08
the games will build as well.
19:10
A hundred percent.
19:11
That's how it happened the first time
19:12
organically.
19:14
And he said over and over again,
19:15
the affiliates are the most important part
19:17
of this.
19:18
Yeah.
19:19
Well, if nothing else, dude,
19:21
the games are going to take care of
19:22
themselves between Savan, Hiller,
19:25
like pick a person, spin us,
19:29
whoever's out there, Amanda,
19:32
those stories will get told.
19:34
easily without without much more than just
19:37
media affiliates are the number one
19:39
priority hundred percent right and that
19:42
means funding that means uh tools that
19:45
means every giving them everything they
19:48
need he says subject matter experts we
19:51
just start making that that kind of stuff
19:53
back online well that's partnerships that
19:56
was another highlighted moment i said yeah
19:59
he is open to partnering with
20:03
tons of different aspects as he should be
20:07
and one aspect was just the subject matter
20:11
experts he doesn't understand why we got
20:13
rid of them and why crossfit tried to
20:17
do it all themselves let the subject
20:20
matter experts who have built this thing
20:23
and built this business on their own
20:25
partner with you and use that instead of
20:28
trying to recreate the wheel if you if
20:31
you
20:34
observe acknowledge whatever you want to
20:35
call it somebody adding value to something
20:39
then why would you want to take that
20:40
away from them why not just highlight them
20:42
use them for what they have and make
20:45
and fold them in we've long greg long
20:49
said a long time ago hey bro if
20:51
i we see something that works we're going
20:54
to do that blatantly
20:58
So same thing with the subject matter
21:00
experts.
21:00
Like if you are – if Scott knows
21:03
more about wall balls than anybody else on
21:05
the planet, mechanics, how they go, blah,
21:06
blah, whatever,
21:07
then we're going to talk – we're going
21:08
to get with Scott,
21:09
and that's what we're going to do.
21:11
Why wouldn't you?
21:15
I don't think it's just a handoff either.
21:17
It's not like – he was specific about
21:20
partnering,
21:21
which means –
21:24
benefiting both sides, right?
21:26
Not just like we talked about this week
21:30
with dumping the stuff on the third
21:31
parties event organizers, right?
21:36
I don't think the third party event
21:37
organizers get the benefit they think
21:41
they're getting, right?
21:42
But anyway,
21:44
but then he kept coming back to affiliates
21:46
are most important thing and we've got to
21:48
reprioritize that.
21:50
He loves the games,
21:52
but it has to be prioritized correctly.
21:56
And he said that straight out.
21:58
He also identified them as an education
22:01
company,
22:04
which are some of the magic words.
22:08
He also at times said, you know,
22:11
they talked about his history with Greg
22:13
and being one of his first clients and
22:16
starting with Greg before CrossFit
22:17
started.
22:19
He also wasn't afraid to say things that
22:23
Greg did that he didn't agree with.
22:26
As he should.
22:29
You have to be honest.
22:30
If you're going to be in that public,
22:33
you're going to be the figurehead,
22:36
basically.
22:36
God is going to move these chess pieces
22:39
around and whatnot.
22:41
You need to be transparent.
22:42
You need to be honest.
22:42
Hey, I didn't like when Greg did X,
22:44
Y, Z. We're not going to do that.
22:47
When the example you used there was that
22:49
Greg refused to like,
22:53
and Greg always says be a fish oil
22:55
sales company, right?
22:58
I don't think Bruce is afraid of that.
23:01
I think anyway,
23:02
anything that like affiliates have figured
23:05
out that if they do sell things other
23:07
than fitness in their gym, it helps their,
23:11
their bottom line.
23:12
And he said,
23:13
we can't be afraid to make money.
23:15
And you as affiliate owners need to be
23:17
able to make money.
23:19
And so he's not afraid with partnering
23:22
with those things that help out the
23:24
affiliates.
23:27
Now,
23:28
I hope to God it's not like way
23:30
over in the other direction,
23:31
but spots about Coca-Cola.
23:35
Right.
23:39
And then the last thing he said,
23:40
the question to him was,
23:43
if you're adding all of this stuff,
23:45
like media and all of that stuff,
23:47
what are you taking away?
23:49
And his answer was pretty brilliant.
23:51
It was like,
23:53
we're doing a lot of silly things right
23:55
now.
23:57
that have no return of value.
24:01
And Chris asked him, well,
24:03
what are those things?
24:04
And he goes, well, this is,
24:06
this is the way I'm going to handle
24:07
it.
24:08
We need to be laser focused on what's
24:09
important.
24:11
And when we get laser focused on what's
24:13
important,
24:14
the silly things are going to fall away.
24:19
It's almost like if you make the main
24:20
thing, the main thing,
24:21
everything else that's extraneous will
24:23
just all the way and nothing else is
24:26
going to matter.
24:27
about that that's a fantastic answer i
24:31
love that yeah and and he said we
24:35
we have got to realize what is important
24:38
to us and with that that has to
24:42
be the focus and everything else can go
24:46
away unneeded unnecessary trim the fat
24:51
type stuff but without even having to trim
24:53
it because if we just focus on the
24:54
correct things other stuff will just die
24:56
out naturally
24:58
Yeah, I like that.
24:59
I'm sure he'll give it a push or
25:01
a shove.
25:03
But in a public forum like this,
25:04
he's not going to go into details about
25:07
all of that, right?
25:11
No, no.
25:11
And he said most of the big changes
25:13
will happen in the fall.
25:15
After the games.
25:17
Um...
25:20
Yeah, probably.
25:21
I don't know.
25:21
I mean, if it's in the fall,
25:22
it's going to be after the games.
25:23
The games are in six weeks.
25:25
Yeah.
25:26
I think he just needs time to get
25:28
the right people in place to be able
25:30
to pull it off.
25:31
I like it, dude.
25:34
I like it a whole lot.
25:37
I like it a whole lot.
25:39
Tessa, cluttered house, cluttered mind.
25:42
Yeah.
25:43
That was like the beginning of our show.
25:44
Getting rid of the stuff, man.
25:47
If you got forty eight tabs open on
25:49
your computer.
25:51
Right.
25:52
On your browser,
25:53
like that's going to be a problem.
25:55
Because it's funny because Tessa,
25:57
this is actually she's commenting back on
26:00
when we were talking about getting rid of
26:01
the stuff in our house.
26:03
But in all actuality.
26:05
It the silly things are cluttering the
26:07
CrossFit house.
26:09
Correct.
26:11
And they've got to get rid of that
26:12
stuff.
26:16
Love it, dude.
26:16
Love it, love it, love it, love it,
26:18
love it.
26:25
Yeah, Daniel.
26:25
I know there's a bunch of documentaries
26:28
that have been coming out about everyday
26:30
people in the gyms.
26:34
And I think that the media team has
26:36
moved in a very good direction.
26:41
I think this is one,
26:43
they're too small to do everything he
26:44
wants.
26:45
I'm assuming he's probably going to bring
26:47
some more people back.
26:49
Um,
26:52
but I think you're going to see more,
26:57
not so right now,
26:59
what it is is people who have overcome
27:06
great obstacles to get back into the gym.
27:09
But they're also just your average
27:11
everyday people that come in and just do
27:15
the shit.
27:17
And that's – so you're getting this
27:19
extreme where the guy went to prison or
27:22
the guy was five hundred pounds or
27:25
whatever.
27:25
Or you're getting road to the games.
27:27
And there's no in between.
27:29
There's nothing in the middle.
27:31
No.
27:31
And so I'm glad you said that.
27:33
So yesterday morning –
27:36
uh my six o'clock girls i got the
27:38
two ones that started right about the
27:39
first year and they're coming along right
27:41
they're they're picking stuff up well
27:42
yesterday we had snatches so we were
27:44
working on snatching and they had
27:46
something to work out or whatever and i
27:47
was talking to one of them afterwards
27:49
because like she would get to the barbell
27:51
because it was snatching for the strength
27:55
portion and for the metcon
27:57
She'd get to the barbell,
27:58
and her first three out of the ten
28:00
would look fantastic.
28:02
And as soon as she would get tired,
28:03
they would start.
28:04
And it wasn't that she wasn't strong
28:06
enough.
28:07
It was that she wasn't – as soon
28:09
as she got tired, oh,
28:10
I can't do this tired.
28:11
You could see it on her face.
28:12
So I was talking to her about afterwards.
28:14
I said, okay,
28:16
so the biggest thing that we actually do
28:18
in this gym, besides getting fit,
28:20
is we make confident,
28:22
capable people who are extremely hard to
28:25
kill.
28:26
I said,
28:26
what I need from you right now is
28:27
just that confidence because we went
28:30
through it.
28:30
You clearly know how to do it and
28:31
whatnot.
28:33
And that alone,
28:34
just watching that small little bitty
28:37
story that took place in, you know,
28:39
a fifteen minute Metcon and five minutes
28:42
after whatnot would be something for
28:44
people to see.
28:46
in my opinion,
28:47
to just see and understand people on the
28:49
outside, not media that's feeding itself,
28:53
not a commercial for CrossFit during the
28:55
CrossFit Games,
28:56
which I always thought was mind-blowing,
28:58
especially when it's on YouTube and that's
29:00
the only way you can find it is
29:01
by actually searching for it.
29:02
But if we're going to put stuff out
29:05
for the general public to be able to
29:07
see, that kind of stuff,
29:09
right?
29:10
Not, she didn't lose a hundred pounds.
29:12
She's just trying to figure stuff out in
29:14
the daily portion of it,
29:16
getting coached and is learning not just
29:19
how to snatch,
29:20
but how to trust herself in just a
29:22
daily everything.
29:23
Hey, you are capable.
29:24
You are confident.
29:25
You are fit.
29:25
You can do these things because we do
29:27
hard things.
29:30
That message needs to be out there.
29:34
Yeah.
29:35
I, Vicky wrote an article and if,
29:38
please go check her out on Instagram and,
29:42
and click on it and read it.
29:43
But it talks about like all of the
29:47
mental aspect of trying to walk into a
29:50
gym and not being able to because of
29:53
spotlight syndrome, whatever you want to,
29:57
where you think everybody's looking at
29:58
you.
29:59
When the reality is they're all worried
30:01
about their own stuff.
30:02
Anybody looking at you, bro?
30:03
Right.
30:05
And what CrossFit gives you when you walk
30:07
into that gym is the confidence that you
30:11
can overcome hard things.
30:15
And that hard thing for you may be
30:17
completely different than what that hard
30:19
thing is for me.
30:20
Absolutely.
30:22
What is true across the whole thing is
30:25
that we've all overcome our thing.
30:29
And she, please go read the article.
30:32
But what it made me think about is
30:35
when I first went in,
30:36
I was scared out of my mind.
30:40
I had that spotlight syndrome.
30:42
I had all of that, right?
30:43
Oh, yeah.
30:44
And then a couple classes in,
30:46
I was like,
30:49
she makes the example of like when she
30:51
first went into a gym,
30:52
her name was always last on the
30:53
whiteboard.
30:56
But that almost became a badge of honor
30:58
for me.
31:00
Because yeah, I'm not the fastest.
31:02
I'm not the strongest.
31:04
But doggone it,
31:05
I'm finishing all the things they're
31:06
finishing.
31:10
And another member wrote me a letter
31:12
saying that I inspired them because I
31:16
never gave up.
31:19
And you might as well lit me up
31:22
like a Christmas tree.
31:24
Scott's heart grew three sizes that day.
31:28
Like I did that?
31:30
Yeah,
31:31
and I never looked at myself that way.
31:34
Most people don't.
31:38
Most people don't.
31:41
And those are the stories I think the
31:43
media team are missing.
31:45
Yeah.
31:46
Because it's not the guy who was in
31:48
prison.
31:49
It's not the guy who was five hundred
31:50
pounds.
31:51
It's just average,
31:53
ordinary people being brave enough to take
31:56
one step and realizing
31:58
that this can change their life a hundred
32:02
percent i i gotta save somewhere but there
32:05
somebody wrote it on a whiteboard
32:06
somewhere and i write it on all whiteboard
32:08
every once in a while is that if
32:09
you let it this place will change you
32:13
and it will be for the better i've
32:15
never met anyone who has stayed in it
32:18
or even was in it for a while
32:19
and got out for whatever reason who is
32:21
who will tell you that they're not a
32:23
better person for it
32:25
Yes, you will get some of those people.
32:26
I did CrossFit and then... Those are,
32:30
that's the exception, not the rule.
32:34
I do not know anybody who has come
32:36
away from it and been like,
32:39
even the people that we have that will
32:41
disappear for three, five,
32:43
seven months at a time and then come
32:44
back.
32:45
When they come back, they're like,
32:46
I miss this so much.
32:49
And it's community.
32:50
It's not just the workout.
32:51
It's being in there and understanding that
32:54
it's okay to
32:56
If you need to go, it's okay.
32:57
If you want to come back, it's okay.
33:00
We're still going to be here.
33:01
We're still going to try to make you
33:02
better every single day.
33:03
Like that is our job.
33:05
Joseph says it can change or save your
33:07
life.
33:07
It definitely can.
33:09
And those are the stories that need to
33:11
be told.
33:12
And I saw,
33:13
I think it was Grace's said that the
33:16
Jillian story.
33:17
I love that.
33:18
I love that woman.
33:21
Love her.
33:21
It's awesome.
33:22
In fact, I have one queued up,
33:24
but we don't have time today.
33:26
I'll do, we'll do it tomorrow.
33:30
And that that's closer to it.
33:31
That's definitely closer to it.
33:34
But they said something on the spin last
33:35
night that someone had made a comment.
33:39
If I finished out, in the open,
33:42
where does that put me globally?
33:44
And they're like top one percent,
33:46
like top one percent.
33:50
If you do the open,
33:52
you're in the top one percent easily.
33:56
Easily.
33:57
That's the other thing.
33:59
A couple hundred thousand do the open and
34:01
there are billions of people worldwide.
34:04
You're in the upper echelon of fitness.
34:07
That's another thing that I stress on,
34:10
especially my,
34:10
my six AM ladies is that when you
34:13
go out into the world,
34:15
you are not like other people.
34:18
You're just not like the, the, the song,
34:21
they not like us that applies.
34:24
general population as opposed to somebody
34:27
who goes into a CrossFit gym three days
34:29
a week, four days a week,
34:30
five days a week, they not like us.
34:35
And it's not just how we look and
34:37
it's not just,
34:38
it's a mindset thing because I'm going in
34:41
there
34:42
If I'm going and I've been there for
34:44
more than a month,
34:45
I know that when I get there,
34:47
I'm going to talk to some people,
34:49
high five some people,
34:50
and whatever we are fixing to do is
34:52
going to hurt.
34:53
I'm well aware of that.
34:54
And I'll do it anyway.
34:57
To conclude this whole discussion about
34:58
Bruce, I'm optimistic.
35:03
I think the way he talked, and again,
35:06
you can go to Two Brains YouTube channel
35:09
and watch the entire interview.
35:11
It's only about thirty minutes.
35:15
So go check it out.
35:17
It's a good listen.
35:20
While he didn't divulge a lot of the
35:23
specificity of what he's going to do,
35:28
I'm sure people are going to be impacted
35:30
that currently work there.
35:32
Yeah.
35:34
there there definitely seemed to be way
35:36
more of a plan than the previous two
35:39
CEOs well it sounds like he has a
35:43
plan yeah um and I did not hear
35:47
thirty million CrossFitters I was about to
35:49
say that I was about to say it
35:51
I'm willing to bet he did not he
35:53
did not say thirty million CrossFitters
35:56
yeah it is
35:59
Yeah.
36:01
So go watch it.
36:02
It's awesome.
36:03
Less gobbledygook,
36:05
less of all that stuff and more like
36:09
this is who we are.
36:10
This is what we need to improve on.
36:13
What's that?
36:14
No malarkey.
36:16
No malarkey.
36:16
No gobbledygook, no malarkey,
36:18
none of that.
36:19
No, no, no baloney.
36:21
No baloney.
36:22
Just straight ribeye.
36:25
Meat on the bone, baby.
36:27
Meat on the bone.
36:28
Gotta love it.
36:30
I was telling my girlfriend this.
36:32
I have to remember to compare myself to
36:33
the rest of the world,
36:34
not the other people in my gym or
36:36
in CrossFit.
36:37
I'm way fitter than a general person.
36:39
Yeah,
36:40
I think I fell into that trap because
36:42
all my friends were CrossFitters.
36:45
Like all my really close friends were
36:47
CrossFitters.
36:48
And then you start comparing yourself to
36:49
them.
36:53
And that's when you get into trouble.
36:55
Because I do that, right?
36:56
And I'm like,
36:57
I understand that I live in a bubble.
37:00
Like,
37:01
I get that because the people I talk
37:03
to, the people I associate with,
37:05
all of my friends are CrossFitters at
37:07
various levels.
37:09
From people that just started,
37:11
from people that's been doing it forever,
37:12
to full-on games athletes.
37:15
I understand.
37:16
I get that I live in a bubble.
37:17
Well, and it varies by degree, not kind.
37:21
Just like CrossFit.
37:22
Absolutely.
37:22
Because if I'm talking to Carolyn,
37:25
she's comparing herself to Laura Horvat.
37:29
Yeah.
37:30
Right?
37:32
It's just a weird thing that we as
37:34
humans do.
37:34
A hundred percent.
37:36
So when you go out into the world,
37:38
that's when you need to be aware of
37:39
the fact that most of us live in
37:40
a bubble because when you go out into
37:42
public,
37:44
it's a whole different world out there.
37:46
That is not your comfortable little bubble
37:48
where thrusters and wall balls are just a
37:53
normal thing that people do every day.
37:55
Yeah, Joseph, no word salad.
37:58
Again, the first five,
38:01
ten minutes is just about his history,
38:03
and then they get into the CrossFit stuff.
38:07
And again, he identified who they are,
38:11
what they need to be,
38:14
and it wasn't like all this pump and
38:18
blow hard stuff that you normally get.
38:20
We're going to get thirty million
38:21
CrossFitters.
38:23
Good luck.
38:25
So now that Ortega's here,
38:26
I've got to go.
38:30
Oh, Ortega's here.
38:31
Yeah, we got to run.
38:32
Bye.
38:33
Yeah.
38:34
He's still riding a Reese Littlewood high
38:36
from this morning.
38:37
Oh, dude, he was all up in it.
38:40
That's his girl, man.
38:42
Listen, I'm a huge fan of hers.
38:44
I got to interview her last year after
38:46
Syndicate.
38:49
She's just freaking awesome.
38:52
Absolutely.
38:54
Yes, Amanda.
38:56
Comparison,
38:57

38:58
dedications.
39:01

39:05
