Clydesdale Media Roundtable - CrossFit Provides Details about Season... But for what part? · Clydesdale Media Podcast

• 0:29
  What is going on, everybody?
• 0:30
  Welcome to the Clydesdale
• 0:31
  Media Roundtable.
• 0:33
  Oh, my goodness.
• 0:34
  We have a full crew.
• 0:35
  I got a change of view, though.
• 0:35
  There he is.
• 0:38
  What's up, buddy?
• 0:39
  You know,
• 0:41
  just keeping it professional
• 0:49
  around these parts.
• 0:51
  Slides in as the theme music is rolling.
• 0:56
  Charlie, can you stretch your arms out?
• 0:58
  Nope.
• 0:59
  Nope, didn't think so.
• 1:00
  Look at that tree.
• 1:03
  Why that?
• 1:04
  Because we did a ton of
• 1:07
  dumbbell bench press
• 1:08
  directly into max bar muscle-ups.
• 1:11
  Ooh.
• 1:16
  And it was rough.
• 1:22
  Well,
• 1:22
  the way Charlie flies through a bench,
• 1:24
  he doesn't do the extension, so...
• 1:28
  I did call him out one time.
• 1:31
  Listen,
• 1:32
  there's a mobility issue that you
• 1:33
  need to keep in mind.
• 1:36
  But Charlie, can you do this?
• 1:39
  No.
• 1:43
  And that seemed inappropriate.
• 1:44
  It did.
• 1:44
  I didn't know what to say.
• 1:47
  I was... I just needed... Listen,
• 1:50
  we were practicing...
• 1:54
  pull your arms back to your
• 1:55
  chest and he can only go
• 1:56
  here well not making it
• 1:58
  better okay well I just had
• 2:00
  to keep rolling nobody's
• 2:02
  even watching so we're good
• 2:03
  right well they're probably
• 2:06
  telling the two people are
• 2:08
  probably telling their
• 2:08
  friends now to come join
• 2:11
  okay it's all for the views
• 2:14
  I don't I don't even know
• 2:15
  where to go from here right
• 2:18
  so was it I so you know if
• 2:20
  there's bench press charlie
• 2:21
  showing up to the gym
• 2:22
  Well,
• 2:22
  Charlie's showing up to the bench
• 2:24
  because that's just what
• 2:25
  we're showing up to the gym.
• 2:26
  Cause that's what we do now.
• 2:28
  You come at least five times a week.
• 2:29
  Nice.
• 2:31
  And, and we're meeting that goal.
• 2:34
  Yeah.
• 2:34
  This is the first week.
• 2:37
  Yes.
• 2:38
  Week one.
• 2:40
  We're going solid.
• 2:41
  The first day week.
• 2:45
  Okay.
• 2:48
  Jody's with us already.
• 2:49
  Okay.
• 2:50
  Hi, Jody.
• 2:54
  Next week is when I add all
• 2:56
  of my extra programming.
• 2:59
  Yeah.
• 3:00
  See, I tried to dial him back with,
• 3:01
  let's just focus on getting to the gym.
• 3:03
  Don't worry about all this extra stuff.
• 3:06
  Just get to the gym five times.
• 3:07
  Nope.
• 3:14
  Let something new come out.
• 3:15
  Bet you I have it.
• 3:17
  First of the year,
• 3:18
  there will be lots of new stuff.
• 3:21
  You get,
• 3:21
  you get in a three new programs
• 3:22
  under the tree for
• 3:23
  Christmas and then Santa better come on.
• 3:28
  You got to implement them
• 3:29
  all by the Saturday after
• 3:30
  Christmas and quit them all
• 3:32
  by Wednesday after Christmas.
• 3:33
  Yep.
• 3:33
  Sounds about right.
• 3:38
  I need one of these athletes
• 3:39
  to start a new program so I
• 3:40
  can just slide on in.
• 3:42
  Okay.
• 3:42
  That like that sounded okay.
• 3:46
  Yeah.
• 3:50
  I didn't name any athletes.
• 3:52
  So, I mean, I can't have a list.
• 3:56
  I think there actually are a
• 3:57
  few people starting new programs.
• 3:59
  However,
• 4:00
  it's getting lost in all the drama.
• 4:02
  So I don't really know.
• 4:03
  I'll need to look these up.
• 4:05
  Andrew, it's done.
• 4:08
  What's up?
• 4:10
  Good morning.
• 4:10
  If they got a free week, I'm in.
• 4:15
  Well, there's J.R.
• 4:16
  Howell is starting We Prefer the Hate.
• 4:18
  Nope, don't care.
• 4:23
  That's the name?
• 4:24
  Yeah, W-T-P-H.
• 4:29
  W-P-T-H, yeah.
• 4:30
  W-P, yeah.
• 4:35
  What?
• 4:35
  We prefer to hate.
• 4:37
  We prefer the hate.
• 4:39
  The hate, okay.
• 4:40
  The hate, yeah.
• 4:40
  Hmm.
• 4:45
  He's kind of like Jason
• 4:46
  Hopper's secret coach,
• 4:48
  not the one he publicly has
• 4:50
  gone to with Brute or the former HWPO.
• 4:54
  And wasn't Brooke Wells
• 4:55
  wearing one of his shirts?
• 4:57
  She was.
• 4:58
  Interesting.
• 5:03
  All the drama.
• 5:04
  Yes, get to the drama.
• 5:06
  Well,
• 5:06
  I want to know what's up with you guys,
• 5:07
  and then we'll get into it,
• 5:08
  because I'm tired of the drama.
• 5:10
  Okay.
• 5:12
  Is anybody a heel yet?
• 5:13
  I need a heel.
• 5:16
  A heel?
• 5:17
  Like a wrestling heel?
• 5:18
  Yes, a wrestling heel.
• 5:20
  Sorry, ladies.
• 5:21
  What does that mean?
• 5:24
  A villain.
• 5:24
  Oh.
• 5:28
  Like a true villain.
• 5:30
  Like Mertens was sliding there,
• 5:31
  but then he just kind of stopped.
• 5:33
  I need a true villain.
• 5:35
  That's you in our group, Charlie.
• 5:37
  You are the heel.
• 5:40
  You need a villain in the
• 5:42
  sport to get you excited
• 5:43
  about the upcoming season.
• 5:46
  I got you.
• 5:47
  You have one also.
• 5:49
  Corey.
• 5:52
  He's the good guy, though.
• 5:59
  Ed is getting really fit,
• 6:00
  so it's not even really a
• 6:01
  contest unless you get more
• 6:03
  consistent buddies.
• 6:03
  Charlie is getting really fit.
• 6:05
  It's going to happen.
• 6:08
  Even though, guys...
• 6:10
  charlie was misusing a word
• 6:15
  I don't know for how long
• 6:16
  he's been using it so we
• 6:21
  started fighting again this
• 6:23
  week and then then it found
• 6:27
  out that he was misinformed
• 6:31
  is that me or just on the
• 6:33
  word it's her okay oh good
• 6:38
  you're glitching amy
• 6:40
  Glitching.
• 6:41
  It's definitely me.
• 6:42
  Okay.
• 6:42
  Well, you tell the story then.
• 6:46
  What's the word?
• 6:47
  The kids are using a word
• 6:48
  called big back now.
• 6:51
  I was called by my son,
• 6:54
  which when I asked him about it, he said,
• 6:56
  it's because you have a big butt.
• 6:58
  That's not true.
• 7:00
  The true meaning of a big
• 7:02
  back is you like to eat all
• 7:04
  the food in all the areas.
• 7:06
  Everywhere.
• 7:08
  Just a big butt.
• 7:10
  Your big body.
• 7:14
  And that's you.
• 7:15
  Apparently.
• 7:18
  Not how I would ever describe you.
• 7:20
  To a ten-year-old.
• 7:21
  So then I called Amy that
• 7:22
  because I thought it was
• 7:23
  the first meaning of it.
• 7:28
  But she knew what the actual meaning was.
• 7:29
  She did not.
• 7:30
  She asked your college
• 7:31
  daughter who then told her.
• 7:34
  Found out and that's why you're fighting.
• 7:36
  Yep.
• 7:37
  Got it.
• 7:38
  Seems reasonable for you guys.
• 7:40
  Yep.
• 7:43
  Okay.
• 7:44
  So that's, what's new with that, right?
• 7:46
  What's up with you, Kat?
• 7:49
  I got a boy.
• 7:50
  I got a boy home from school.
• 7:51
  Oh, I haven't, I haven't seen him yet,
• 7:54
  but according to his, by my iPhone,
• 7:56
  he was, he's home as of yesterday.
• 7:59
  So is he still a massive boy?
• 8:02
  I believe so.
• 8:03
  Yes.
• 8:03
  He's still training hard.
• 8:06
  He's either,
• 8:06
  whenever I check on his location,
• 8:08
  he's either at his
• 8:09
  apartment or at the gym.
• 8:12
  And note,
• 8:13
  he's a full-time student in college,
• 8:14
  so he should be in classes
• 8:15
  at some point in time, and maybe,
• 8:17
  hopefully, he's doing that as well.
• 8:21
  But, yeah,
• 8:22
  so he'll be hopefully coming to
• 8:24
  visit here at some point in
• 8:26
  the next couple days,
• 8:27
  and then just trying to
• 8:27
  figure out what I'm doing
• 8:28
  for the holidays, who's going where,
• 8:30
  you know, the whole broken family,
• 8:34
  where do you go, where do the kids start,
• 8:36
  where do they end up,
• 8:37
  all that good stuff.
• 8:40
  Figuring it out.
• 8:42
  They're old and kind of maneuver.
• 8:44
  Yep.
• 8:51
  Yeah, that does make it a little easier,
• 8:52
  for sure.
• 8:52
  So Jody Lynn said,
• 8:52
  Amy actually skipping and
• 8:53
  then skipping out.
• 8:55
  She also has all of her kids
• 8:56
  home for the holidays.
• 8:58
  So there's probably like two Switches,
• 9:01
  an Xbox, three computers,
• 9:03
  all trying to use the same Wi-Fi.
• 9:06
  That's correct.
• 9:07
  And a husband who works from
• 9:09
  home and using all the, the internet.
• 9:13
  So I used a different laptop.
• 9:14
  It's it's my laptop.
• 9:15
  That's glitchy.
• 9:16
  So.
• 9:18
  Uh, Jody also says same thing here, cat.
• 9:20
  It sucks no matter what the age.
• 9:23
  Yeah.
• 9:26
  Yeah,
• 9:27
  we have everybody coming in this
• 9:28
  weekend for our Christmas.
• 9:32
  Because of Julie's surgery coming up,
• 9:33
  we're not traveling anywhere.
• 9:36
  So we're doing our family
• 9:37
  thing this weekend.
• 9:38
  So Corey and the boyfriend
• 9:40
  are coming in Saturday.
• 9:41
  My mom's coming in Friday
• 9:43
  and doing all that kind of stuff.
• 9:45
  And then everybody will be
• 9:47
  out the door and home on Monday.
• 9:49
  And then Julie and I will
• 9:50
  just be here the rest of
• 9:51
  the week by ourselves.
• 9:52
  Bye, Christmas.
• 9:56
  I was thinking about, go ahead.
• 9:59
  I was going to say,
• 9:59
  when will you watch Love Actually?
• 10:02
  Well,
• 10:02
  Julie and I always watch that
• 10:03
  Christmas Eve, so that will happen then.
• 10:05
  Okay.
• 10:08
  Yes.
• 10:11
  The best Christmas movie ever.
• 10:12
  I love it.
• 10:16
  You're talking about Die Hard?
• 10:20
  No.
• 10:21
  Not Die Hard.
• 10:24
  Kat, you had something?
• 10:26
  I forget what I was going to say.
• 10:27
  Oh,
• 10:27
  I was just saying that maybe I was
• 10:28
  thinking about maybe doing
• 10:29
  something with the kids like Sunday,
• 10:30
  you know,
• 10:31
  it doesn't have to be like on the day,
• 10:33
  just a day close.
• 10:34
  And then that way I don't
• 10:35
  have to worry about it.
• 10:36
  I get, get my kid time.
• 10:38
  Yeah.
• 10:39
  And we're,
• 10:40
  we're not sure how long Braden's
• 10:41
  staying because his
• 10:42
  girlfriend lives in Georgia and you know,
• 10:44
  they can't be away from
• 10:44
  each other for more than.
• 10:47
  So I don't think she came with him.
• 10:50
  So she's home.
• 10:50
  She graduated too.
• 10:51
  So she's not going back to school.
• 10:55
  which scares me for the next
• 10:56
  semester for Braden to make
• 10:58
  sure that he's actually
• 10:58
  going to go to school,
• 11:00
  stay there and not be
• 11:01
  driving back and forth
• 11:02
  because it's like a twelve
• 11:04
  hour drive or something crazy.
• 11:05
  Yeah.
• 11:09
  So we'll see.
• 11:13
  celebrated Julie's birthday
• 11:14
  yesterday and it was fun.
• 11:16
  Um, uh, had a good time.
• 11:19
  Um, I don't bake.
• 11:20
  So I did, I ordered her nothing.
• 11:22
  Bunt cake.
• 11:23
  Yeah.
• 11:24
  Like cute little tower now
• 11:26
  of like samples.
• 11:28
  So you can try like a couple
• 11:30
  of different flavors.
• 11:32
  Cause it's just her and I,
• 11:33
  like there's no point in
• 11:33
  making like a big cake anyway,
• 11:35
  or buying a big cake.
• 11:37
  So, and they,
• 11:38
  they do a great job of like
• 11:39
  wrapping it up and
• 11:39
  ribboning it and doing all
• 11:41
  that kind of stuff and
• 11:41
  making it kind of festive.
• 11:43
  What flavor did you like the best?
• 11:47
  So I love carrot cake period.
• 11:49
  That's my favorite.
• 11:50
  So that was the, but we got red velvet,
• 11:52
  we got lemon and we got
• 11:54
  strawberries and cream.
• 11:55
  Oh, okay.
• 11:55
  Yeah.
• 11:58
  I would say Julie's was
• 11:59
  either the lemon or the
• 12:00
  strawberries and cream.
• 12:02
  I haven't had strawberries and cream,
• 12:03
  but I love the red velvet and the lemon.
• 12:07
  Yeah.
• 12:08
  I think I'm allergic to the
• 12:09
  lemon because I got really
• 12:11
  bad stomach pain after eating that piece.
• 12:14
  And I am somewhat intolerant of lemon.
• 12:18
  So yeah, that was.
• 12:19
  Maybe it's just acidic foods.
• 12:22
  I can do lime.
• 12:23
  I can do lime all day long
• 12:24
  and I just can't do lemon.
• 12:26
  Limes aren't acidic, are they?
• 12:28
  Yes, citrus.
• 12:31
  Says the man who doesn't do
• 12:33
  fruits or vegetables.
• 12:35
  I thought lemons and limes
• 12:36
  are interchangeable, too.
• 12:38
  Technically,
• 12:39
  they're practically the same fruit.
• 12:40
  Yeah, for some reason,
• 12:43
  there's something in the
• 12:44
  lemon that gets me, and the limes,
• 12:45
  I'm fine.
• 12:48
  My lime's usually with tequila,
• 12:50
  so maybe that's why it
• 12:51
  doesn't taste as citrusy.
• 12:52
  There you go.
• 12:52
  There you go.
• 12:57
  So a couple things in the
• 12:59
  CrossFit space I'll pull up,
• 13:01
  and Kat actually sent me this one.
• 13:04
  I want to get your opinions
• 13:05
  on... I think it's this one.
• 13:14
  There we go.
• 13:17
  So the Association of Fitness Judges...
• 13:23
  announced that they will
• 13:24
  have their first in-person
• 13:26
  judging seminar where you
• 13:28
  can become an AFJ certified judge.
• 13:32
  This looks like it coincides
• 13:34
  with Wadapalooza, and that is Wednesday,
• 13:39
  January, from ten to four in Miami,
• 13:42
  Florida.
• 13:45
  Any thoughts on seminars to
• 13:48
  become a certified judge?
• 13:55
  I'm a huge fan.
• 13:56
  Yeah,
• 13:56
  I think we've been saying that we
• 13:59
  would like something like this.
• 14:00
  I would be curious to know
• 14:02
  how this translates after
• 14:04
  you take the seminar.
• 14:05
  What does that mean in the space?
• 14:10
  Yeah,
• 14:11
  I think it's a nice step in the right
• 14:13
  direction.
• 14:14
  I don't know what six hours gets you.
• 14:15
  Yeah.
• 14:18
  what are you looking at?
• 14:20
  What are you learning?
• 14:21
  I guess I just have to see it, um, uh,
• 14:25
  to be, to better understand it.
• 14:28
  Um,
• 14:30
  but I think in person is way better
• 14:31
  than an online judges.
• 14:32
  Yeah.
• 14:33
  And I,
• 14:35
  I think they'll probably get into
• 14:37
  some nuanced things that
• 14:39
  happen at competitions and
• 14:40
  they'll be able to sort of hopefully, uh,
• 14:43
  like go through certain scenarios of,
• 14:44
  you know, what to do when this happens,
• 14:46
  what to do when that happens.
• 14:49
  I think that will be good.
• 14:50
  And let's face it, ideally,
• 14:51
  the people that are running
• 14:52
  this are the ones that have
• 14:53
  a very strong influence
• 14:56
  into who gets selected for
• 14:58
  these competitions as judges.
• 15:00
  So I feel like at some point,
• 15:02
  it's probably going to be
• 15:04
  like the fee for admission, you know,
• 15:07
  to be able to even be
• 15:08
  considered for some of this stuff.
• 15:11
  because I think the people that are, um,
• 15:15
  you know,
• 15:16
  high up in the ranks in terms of
• 15:17
  judging are very connected
• 15:19
  to CrossFit and some of the
• 15:20
  other organizers of these events.
• 15:22
  And I really liked,
• 15:23
  I don't know if you got to
• 15:24
  the details of it yet or not,
• 15:26
  but the fact that people
• 15:28
  are going to be evaluated
• 15:29
  after Wadapalooza,
• 15:32
  because that happens a lot
• 15:33
  where somebody is a total F up, you know,
• 15:36
  and, and,
• 15:38
  there's consensus there,
• 15:39
  but it's not really,
• 15:40
  there's no process to sort
• 15:41
  of document it or, you know,
• 15:43
  have that live in somebody's record or,
• 15:47
  you know what I mean?
• 15:47
  Like,
• 15:47
  I just think it will be a little more,
• 15:49
  they're making it more of a
• 15:50
  formal process because I
• 15:52
  think there are instances
• 15:53
  where there are some people
• 15:53
  that maybe slipped through
• 15:54
  the cracks and,
• 15:58
  shouldn't continue to judge.
• 15:59
  Yeah, the bullet points are right here.
• 16:01
  I'll read them off real quick.
• 16:02
  It includes standard
• 16:03
  operating procedure at the
• 16:04
  most high levels, scorecard tutorials,
• 16:08
  athlete command and control
• 16:09
  during live events, team considerations,
• 16:12
  and then breakout sessions
• 16:13
  with elite level games
• 16:14
  athletes with peer and
• 16:16
  instructor-led feedback.
• 16:18
  So if you're, if you're going up against,
• 16:21
  if you're using elite
• 16:21
  athletes and then making
• 16:23
  them move and you judge them,
• 16:24
  I think that's awesome.
• 16:26
  Um, and then giving feedback,
• 16:28
  whether you should have called it or not,
• 16:29
  because judging at speed is
• 16:31
  very different judging in a
• 16:34
  box at the open with like
• 16:38
  judging me or Charlie or you, and then,
• 16:41
  or judging Pat Vellner Tia to me,
• 16:45
  they just move at a,
• 16:46
  at a speed that we don't see every day.
• 16:48
  Well,
• 16:49
  and I think distractions need to be
• 16:50
  considered too, because, you know,
• 16:52
  like if you're at a seminar
• 16:53
  and you're hyper focused on
• 16:54
  your judging versus a live
• 16:58
  event where there's so many
• 16:59
  different things that are
• 17:00
  happening that catch your eye.
• 17:02
  I mean, that's just human nature, right?
• 17:03
  Even if you are super focused,
• 17:05
  distractions are natural.
• 17:07
  So I'd be curious what some
• 17:08
  of our judging people like Andrew,
• 17:10
  like think about this as well.
• 17:13
  I'd be curious.
• 17:14
  My other comment is,
• 17:15
  and I got into this with
• 17:16
  dense updates in some DMs today,
• 17:20
  is just because she brought
• 17:22
  up the fact that they are
• 17:23
  being judged or evaluated
• 17:25
  after Wadapalooza and given
• 17:27
  feedback based on their
• 17:29
  performance there.
• 17:31
  When I was a judge at regionals,
• 17:34
  There was no formal report
• 17:35
  card that was given,
• 17:36
  but you got elevated or
• 17:38
  de-elevated from the heat
• 17:40
  you were in based on your performance.
• 17:43
  And on Sunday,
• 17:44
  half of the judging field
• 17:45
  was basically cut.
• 17:46
  Got it.
• 17:48
  Okay.
• 17:48
  And if you were in the lower half,
• 17:50
  you did not see the floor on Sunday.
• 17:54
  But that was also...
• 17:56
  more regulated by CrossFit, right?
• 17:59
  That was back in the day
• 18:00
  when CrossFit ran the judging, which,
• 18:04
  which they still do at their events,
• 18:06
  but they don't do that at
• 18:09
  Waterpalooza or the,
• 18:13
  they don't do loud and live.
• 18:14
  They don't do math.
• 18:16
  Right.
• 18:16
  Yeah.
• 18:17
  Yeah.
• 18:18
  No, I definitely, I mean,
• 18:19
  I think it's almost like it's,
• 18:20
  it's bringing it back to old school,
• 18:23
  you know, how it was.
• 18:24
  And I think, um,
• 18:26
  I think it's a lot harder
• 18:27
  for the CrossFit folks to
• 18:28
  give feedback and keep
• 18:29
  track of all that stuff at
• 18:30
  the games because there's
• 18:31
  so many other things going
• 18:33
  on at the games.
• 18:35
  But when they were doing
• 18:36
  that for regionals,
• 18:36
  I'm sure they had a really
• 18:37
  good process for being able
• 18:39
  to weed out some folks.
• 18:40
  And a lot of times at some
• 18:42
  of these competitions,
• 18:43
  there aren't enough judges anyway,
• 18:45
  so you're not going to be
• 18:46
  cutting half the field at
• 18:47
  the end of the day.
• 18:48
  Yeah, where back in the regional days,
• 18:50
  there were tons,
• 18:52
  like so many people didn't get in.
• 18:55
  right right more than more
• 18:56
  than you needed you know
• 18:57
  you'd be you'd be on break
• 18:59
  for hours before you get
• 19:00
  back on the floor whereas
• 19:01
  you know now you're
• 19:02
  probably on all day and
• 19:04
  barely getting a break so
• 19:06
  yeah I think I think it's
• 19:09
  interesting I I it's
• 19:10
  definitely progress and I
• 19:11
  love it I love to see it
• 19:13
  andrew does say I'll I'll
• 19:14
  be there for it I think
• 19:16
  it's great to give newer
• 19:17
  judges tips for for being better
• 19:24
  Jay Birch says, unfortunately,
• 19:25
  I will not be at Waterpalooza.
• 19:26
  I will be at TFX.
• 19:27
  We could use some more judges.
• 19:30
  Yeah,
• 19:30
  that's the bad thing about TFX going
• 19:32
  up around the same time as Waterpalooza.
• 19:36
  It really, like,
• 19:38
  shallows the pool of judges
• 19:40
  for the event.
• 19:41
  Mm-hmm.
• 19:45
  And I,
• 19:46
  and I also talked to dense updates about,
• 19:48
  or Jenny about what a
• 19:50
  Palooza being a good place
• 19:51
  to do it because you have
• 19:53
  community divisions and RX
• 19:54
  divisions to evaluate newer
• 19:57
  judges and to see if they
• 19:59
  have the chops to make it
• 20:00
  to the elite floor.
• 20:01
  Yeah.
• 20:01
  I think that's pretty ideal.
• 20:04
  Right.
• 20:05
  Use your best judges on the elite floor,
• 20:07
  evaluate the newer judges
• 20:08
  on the RX or the community floor.
• 20:11
  And then if they are good enough,
• 20:12
  then they can move.
• 20:14
  Yeah.
• 20:15
  And I like that they're
• 20:15
  incorporating elite athletes.
• 20:17
  I think not only will that
• 20:19
  give them some hands-on
• 20:20
  experience with those folks,
• 20:21
  but I think it'll give the
• 20:22
  elite athletes some insight
• 20:23
  into what goes on with the
• 20:25
  judges and how much work
• 20:28
  and focus does go into it,
• 20:29
  which might give them just
• 20:30
  a little bit more of an
• 20:30
  appreciation for how they
• 20:32
  move and sort of a better
• 20:33
  understanding of what those
• 20:35
  judges have to go through.
• 20:39
  Yeah.
• 20:39
  So the next piece of news is
• 20:43
  CrossFit announced,
• 20:44
  I believe it was yesterday.
• 20:48
  This thing, the community cup,
• 20:52
  when they announced the new season,
• 20:53
  this was part of the announcement,
• 20:55
  the verse in detail.
• 20:57
  Amy's like her eyes fixate
• 21:02
  to the meme immediately.
• 21:02
  Yeah.
• 21:03
  Yeah.
• 21:06
  And so the Community Cup is
• 21:09
  this stage that happens
• 21:11
  after semifinals for that
• 21:14
  one percent that make it to semifinals.
• 21:17
  This is where the levels
• 21:19
  come back in finally.
• 21:21
  After them being in there
• 21:22
  for three years with no explanation,
• 21:26
  this will be a competition
• 21:28
  that if you've done the Open,
• 21:29
  you get a score in your level,
• 21:33
  and then you get to compete
• 21:35
  against other people in
• 21:36
  your level at this Community Cup in June.
• 21:43
  So this is for like the
• 21:44
  remaining ninety-nine percent?
• 21:46
  Okay.
• 21:48
  And this is still like in your gym,
• 21:50
  like it's a virtual.
• 21:51
  Correct.
• 21:53
  Yeah.
• 21:53
  It is one week, three workouts,
• 21:57
  and then you compete
• 21:58
  against other people in the
• 22:00
  same skill ability and,
• 22:02
  and stuff like that.
• 22:03
  So, um,
• 22:06
  So they announced this during the season.
• 22:09
  It had the detail of like
• 22:10
  what it was with the levels
• 22:12
  and all that kind of stuff.
• 22:13
  This goes on to say what it is.
• 22:17
  There's there's slides to this.
• 22:19
  You compete in the twenty
• 22:20
  twenty five CrossFit Open
• 22:21
  and receive your official
• 22:22
  level grouping you with
• 22:23
  other similarly skilled athletes,
• 22:25
  regardless of age or location.
• 22:27
  Levels will be identified
• 22:29
  based on placement in the open.
• 22:31
  Use the time between the
• 22:32
  open and community cup to
• 22:33
  tackle areas of your
• 22:34
  fitness you want to improve.
• 22:36
  And then during the community cup,
• 22:37
  throw down against others
• 22:38
  in your level to see who
• 22:40
  ranks the highest in each tier.
• 22:43
  So there'll be like a level one champion,
• 22:45
  a level two champion,
• 22:46
  a level three champion, and so on.
• 22:52
  And when I went through the comments,
• 22:53
  it's a mixed bag.
• 22:54
  It's about fifty fifty of like,
• 22:55
  this is a good thing or
• 22:56
  this is a bad thing.
• 22:58
  My question,
• 22:58
  I think this is the attempt to, like,
• 23:00
  replace quarterfinals,
• 23:02
  but be more inclusive.
• 23:07
  Yeah.
• 23:07
  More people to participate.
• 23:09
  And what do you think one
• 23:11
  affiliates will support it
• 23:12
  and have just like the open,
• 23:14
  have this one week where
• 23:16
  the workouts are available
• 23:17
  to you to do in the gym and
• 23:19
  to do this and submit your score to,
• 23:22
  do you think people will sign up for it?
• 23:24
  Um,
• 23:24
  does it mean anything to them that
• 23:26
  you're the best level two
• 23:27
  or the best level four?
• 23:30
  Um, the, those two basic,
• 23:34
  let's start with those two questions.
• 23:37
  Well,
• 23:38
  I think it might get more people in
• 23:41
  affiliates to sign up for the open.
• 23:44
  Example,
• 23:45
  I think a lot of gyms might
• 23:48
  participate in the open,
• 23:49
  but maybe not a large
• 23:51
  number that actually sign
• 23:52
  up for the open.
• 23:54
  So this way you might get
• 23:55
  more people to sign up for the open,
• 23:57
  which could then lead into
• 23:59
  more people signing up for
• 24:01
  the community cup.
• 24:03
  Yeah,
• 24:04
  it gives people who are low on the
• 24:07
  totem pole, if you will,
• 24:08
  of levels to have a competition,
• 24:11
  which they never really had before.
• 24:13
  Because if I know that I'm
• 24:14
  scaled every week, that's it.
• 24:17
  I'm doing my three workouts.
• 24:18
  I'm out.
• 24:19
  I get to compare my scores from last year.
• 24:23
  So if you have a pretty
• 24:24
  competitive person who's
• 24:26
  maybe not either new or
• 24:27
  just not excelling into level eight, nine,
• 24:31
  ten, whatever.
• 24:32
  not the one percent it gives
• 24:34
  them a chance to compete
• 24:35
  which is kind of cool I do
• 24:37
  like their approach in the
• 24:38
  communication where it says
• 24:40
  hey we're giving you three
• 24:41
  months to do after the open
• 24:43
  to fix your holes oh right
• 24:47
  you have and then we're
• 24:47
  gonna open it back up and
• 24:49
  say okay did you improve
• 24:50
  can you go up the ranks
• 24:53
  from the open time to june yeah
• 24:59
  Pat makes a good point here.
• 25:00
  It says two things I don't
• 25:01
  like about the Community Cup.
• 25:02
  One,
• 25:02
  it's redundant as it's basically a
• 25:04
  scaled open.
• 25:06
  Two, this is what I like.
• 25:07
  It directly competes with
• 25:09
  smaller local scaled comps like Festivus,
• 25:11
  local throwdowns and things
• 25:12
  like that in terms of the timing.
• 25:14
  But it's really only what?
• 25:16
  It's a week?
• 25:17
  It's one week,
• 25:18
  three workouts in the same week.
• 25:20
  Yeah.
• 25:20
  I mean, it's only one week.
• 25:22
  I need to know the cost.
• 25:25
  Right.
• 25:25
  Yeah.
• 25:27
  That's what I mean.
• 25:27
  I think that's going to,
• 25:28
  that's going to matter.
• 25:32
  In some sense, I can see how like, okay,
• 25:34
  when there's a small select
• 25:35
  going back to quarterfinals,
• 25:37
  there would be a small
• 25:38
  select number of athletes
• 25:39
  in your gym that was going
• 25:41
  on to quarterfinals.
• 25:43
  So some of those athletes
• 25:44
  who were maybe close to quarters,
• 25:46
  but didn't make quarters
• 25:48
  might be interested in
• 25:48
  continuing that competition.
• 25:50
  So for, for that reason,
• 25:51
  I could see but if it's
• 25:53
  another forty or fifty
• 25:54
  bucks that's not gonna fly
• 25:56
  I don't think so my first
• 25:58
  comment that pat is if
• 26:00
  level eight is not a scaled
• 26:02
  version of the open because
• 26:03
  you're level eight we're
• 26:05
  adding all the stuff right
• 26:07
  and your workouts to
• 26:08
  compete at level eight are
• 26:10
  muscle ups and handstand
• 26:11
  push-ups and all the stuff that like
• 26:16
  borderline trying to get to
• 26:17
  that one percent people to
• 26:19
  compete I I think that's
• 26:21
  fine and maybe not a scale
• 26:23
  version of the open and
• 26:24
  maybe we get something a
• 26:25
  little bit different um and
• 26:28
  then and here are the
• 26:29
  details real quick there
• 26:30
  will be three workouts to
• 26:31
  compete over one week all
• 26:33
  workouts will release the
• 26:34
  week before the competition
• 26:36
  to allow affiliates to plan
• 26:37
  ahead and while the scores
• 26:40
  must be entered online the
• 26:41
  community cup must be done
• 26:43
  in an affiliate
• 26:46
  And then each of the three
• 26:47
  workouts will be programmed
• 26:49
  with modifications to
• 26:50
  challenge each tier appropriately.
• 26:54
  So maybe those upper tiers
• 26:56
  get the hard stuff where
• 26:58
  the lower tiers it's scaled
• 27:00
  way back for them.
• 27:03
  So my question would be one,
• 27:06
  are they testing for this?
• 27:08
  I was asking for a friend, but two,
• 27:12
  if you're in the eightieth
• 27:13
  percentile and you know
• 27:15
  you're not going to be
• 27:17
  top and you're just like you
• 27:18
  know what I'm gonna go down
• 27:19
  to scale and just destroy
• 27:21
  it what's stopping you from
• 27:24
  doing that you're assigned
• 27:27
  of your level based on your
• 27:28
  performance in the open
• 27:31
  right you don't get that
• 27:33
  you know you're not going
• 27:36
  you're saying you
• 27:39
  you're saying cherry like
• 27:41
  dog the open so that you
• 27:43
  get a lower yes ranking and
• 27:45
  then go kill that division
• 27:48
  yeah I don't think there's
• 27:49
  any prize worth winning and
• 27:52
  if that's your goal then
• 27:54
  hey be a douchebag hey I
• 27:59
  love what david is saying
• 28:00
  here let's post that I'll do it
• 28:03
  I know quite a few people
• 28:04
  who are very proud of
• 28:05
  making it to quarterfinals,
• 28:06
  and I'm not sure this will
• 28:07
  have the same feeling.
• 28:08
  I do agree with that.
• 28:10
  I do agree with that it
• 28:13
  won't be for that quarter, top quarter.
• 28:17
  So let me be devil's
• 28:21
  advocate of what this may really be.
• 28:24
  Okay.
• 28:24
  Okay.
• 28:25
  So we've had these levels
• 28:26
  for three years where we
• 28:27
  don't know what to do with them.
• 28:28
  You just get assigned a
• 28:29
  number at the end of the open.
• 28:30
  And Amy gets to go, yay,
• 28:31
  I'm a level eight.
• 28:33
  And I'm better than all of my friends.
• 28:37
  And she does it all the time.
• 28:38
  She texts us her level in
• 28:41
  every text string and everything.
• 28:43
  Only the level three.
• 28:46
  So what if we establish
• 28:49
  something in this community
• 28:51
  cup where you can make
• 28:53
  workouts that are geared
• 28:55
  for level eights do this
• 28:57
  level sevens do this level fives do this.
• 29:00
  And then we translate that
• 29:02
  to the open and make the
• 29:04
  open matter more.
• 29:06
  So the more elite athlete you are,
• 29:08
  the harder the workout is in the open,
• 29:10
  but you're all getting the
• 29:11
  same stimulus levels one through ten.
• 29:17
  But you can't just like
• 29:18
  throw that in the open.
• 29:20
  You have to like establish
• 29:22
  the levels and and figure
• 29:24
  out the workout.
• 29:24
  So you're using the
• 29:25
  community cup to do that.
• 29:27
  And then in the future,
• 29:28
  the open will be divided
• 29:30
  better so that we can
• 29:32
  actually meet the needs of every athlete.
• 29:36
  OK,
• 29:36
  so let's say I'm let's say I'm level
• 29:38
  six after after the community cup.
• 29:43
  so then I'm I'm going to do
• 29:45
  level six in the open but
• 29:47
  what how do I get to level
• 29:49
  seven like I perform high
• 29:51
  in level six like how will
• 29:53
  I get to do better and
• 29:55
  bigger things you know like
• 29:56
  that just get one muscle up
• 29:58
  and it moves you up on that
• 29:59
  that leaderboard when do
• 30:01
  they assign levels right
• 30:04
  now just during the open
• 30:06
  well it's throughout the
• 30:07
  season because the further
• 30:09
  you make it in the season
• 30:10
  the higher your level got
• 30:12
  When did they change your level?
• 30:16
  Is there a calendar year?
• 30:18
  You're level six from now
• 30:19
  until... We've never been
• 30:20
  able to get a clear
• 30:21
  direction as to what the level is,
• 30:23
  how it happens, when it happens.
• 30:25
  But if it becomes like a
• 30:27
  trend thing or some kind of
• 30:30
  algorithm that over time
• 30:32
  you just keep building on your level...
• 30:35
  Or even like deteriorating
• 30:37
  on your level because
• 30:38
  you're getting old and you're like,
• 30:39
  you can't do what you used to do,
• 30:41
  whatever.
• 30:42
  Um,
• 30:43
  so I think that's what would have to
• 30:46
  happen in the future for my
• 30:48
  theory to like, you just,
• 30:50
  you keep building or losing
• 30:53
  on your level over time.
• 30:55
  Right.
• 30:55
  But I'm saying,
• 30:56
  but if I'm in the open and
• 30:58
  I can only do level six,
• 31:00
  because that's my level,
• 31:01
  how do I progress to a higher, to get,
• 31:04
  to do the next level?
• 31:06
  Well,
• 31:06
  you have to keep improving so that
• 31:08
  your scores in the open or,
• 31:11
  or any other event you
• 31:12
  participate in shows that
• 31:14
  you are now moving up a
• 31:15
  level to the next one.
• 31:17
  So I score high in the open on level six.
• 31:19
  So then I might be promoted
• 31:21
  to level seven for the next one.
• 31:23
  Correct.
• 31:28
  Is the open,
• 31:28
  are the open workouts going to
• 31:30
  be different depending on your level?
• 31:33
  that was my theory.
• 31:34
  This is my theory.
• 31:36
  Got it.
• 31:37
  Got it.
• 31:39
  Got it.
• 31:39
  This is a,
• 31:39
  a proof concept in the community
• 31:41
  cup to then bring it to the
• 31:44
  open because of the biggest complaint.
• 31:46
  And what Carolyn Lambre
• 31:47
  talked about this earlier this week,
• 31:49
  that's been clipped and run
• 31:51
  is that there's no
• 31:52
  definition for the open.
• 31:53
  And so elite athletes and
• 31:56
  your average Joe's in the gym are,
• 31:59
  have different reasons for doing the open.
• 32:01
  And so they can't meet the
• 32:02
  needs of both the elite
• 32:04
  athlete and the average Joe's right.
• 32:06
  Yeah.
• 32:07
  But if we do it by level and like a level,
• 32:10
  has a workout that meets
• 32:12
  the needs they need and a
• 32:14
  level three can do it and
• 32:15
  still see how they improve
• 32:17
  year over year as an average Joe, then we,
• 32:19
  maybe we can't,
• 32:22
  but just have a proof of concept first.
• 32:25
  I'm just so curious on why
• 32:27
  they even started the levels.
• 32:29
  Like why now three years later,
• 32:32
  we're going to do something
• 32:32
  with these levels.
• 32:34
  Was this thought out at the beginning?
• 32:36
  Well,
• 32:36
  they started it under one CEO and
• 32:40
  then people got fired and
• 32:42
  then people got brought back.
• 32:45
  So there has not been a
• 32:46
  consistent and a new CEO comes in.
• 32:49
  There hasn't been a
• 32:49
  consistent like leadership group that,
• 32:54
  to maybe follow through on this.
• 32:56
  And I know I don't use this
• 32:57
  for them and it's, it is what it is.
• 33:00
  We don't know if this is the idea that was,
• 33:04
  you know,
• 33:04
  brewed three years ago now just
• 33:06
  coming to light,
• 33:07
  or if this is something
• 33:08
  that's been retrofitted to
• 33:11
  make sense of levels that
• 33:13
  were created three years ago.
• 33:15
  Yeah.
• 33:15
  We don't know the answer to that.
• 33:16
  Yeah.
• 33:17
  I'm guessing it's the latter,
• 33:19
  but I could be wrong.
• 33:21
  I, if I were to guess,
• 33:22
  I would say you're right, Kat.
• 33:24
  I think that it was created
• 33:26
  by Dave and team under the
• 33:30
  Rosa led CrossFit.
• 33:34
  Rosa leaves, Dave gets fired.
• 33:37
  Level sat out there for a couple of years.
• 33:39
  Now they're looking at it as like,
• 33:40
  we have these levels.
• 33:41
  Can we do something with
• 33:42
  them to make it work for us?
• 33:44
  And now they're trying to fit.
• 33:47
  Whatever that is,
• 33:48
  retrofit it back into what
• 33:50
  was created before.
• 33:52
  And side note,
• 33:53
  the levels are different or
• 33:56
  you get levels based on age
• 33:59
  grouping as well.
• 34:01
  Right.
• 34:02
  You have an age group level
• 34:03
  and you have an open level.
• 34:05
  Yeah.
• 34:08
  David is correct here where
• 34:09
  he says the levels were
• 34:11
  supposed to be for events
• 34:12
  throughout the year.
• 34:13
  Uh,
• 34:13
  the event could use the levels as
• 34:14
  placement instead of a
• 34:15
  qualifier from what I understand.
• 34:17
  And it also,
• 34:18
  so people wouldn't cherry pick and say,
• 34:20
  uh,
• 34:21
  and sign up for the intermediate like
• 34:22
  cherry or like Charlie and
• 34:25
  be a douche bag and sign up
• 34:26
  for intermediate when
• 34:28
  you're really an elite to
• 34:30
  take home the trophy.
• 34:32
  Um,
• 34:32
  if you have a level eight beside your
• 34:34
  name, no, you're going into elite.
• 34:36
  Yeah, like years prior,
• 34:38
  before the levels came out,
• 34:39
  like Festivus had on their notes,
• 34:43
  like if you were the top ten in the open,
• 34:45
  you cannot do Festivus.
• 34:46
  Right.
• 34:49
  Right.
• 34:49
  They even said like if
• 34:52
  you're a fire breather at your gym,
• 34:53
  you're not supposed to do Festivus.
• 34:55
  Yeah.
• 35:01
  I'm anxious to see if
• 35:02
  anybody's even going to be
• 35:03
  interested in this, but.
• 35:04
  Yeah.
• 35:05
  Again, it's going to come down to money.
• 35:06
  And are they doing it because they had,
• 35:11
  you know,
• 35:12
  people paying to do the quarterfinals.
• 35:15
  And now that you've taken that away,
• 35:16
  you're taking away some income.
• 35:19
  Jaybird says that's called a sandbagger,
• 35:20
  not a douche bagger.
• 35:22
  I think they're interchangeable.
• 35:24
  Yeah.
• 35:26
  Interchangeable.
• 35:28
  Yeah.
• 35:29
  And I guess the levels won't
• 35:31
  include any kind of age group criteria,
• 35:33
  right?
• 35:33
  It'll just be your level
• 35:35
  because then that would be crazy math.
• 35:36
  That's what I'm saying is
• 35:39
  that you have two different levels.
• 35:42
  Yeah,
• 35:42
  you would have one for your age group
• 35:45
  and one for the open overall.
• 35:48
  We already do.
• 35:49
  You do now.
• 35:51
  Oh, really?
• 35:52
  It'll have your level in the open.
• 35:55
  It'll have your level in your age group.
• 35:58
  They are tripping over
• 35:59
  themselves with this one, I think.
• 36:02
  Wow.
• 36:05
  Okay.
• 36:05
  Just to answer,
• 36:07
  my intent is to do the open, yes.
• 36:11
  I'm definitely going to sign up.
• 36:12
  I'm going to sign up.
• 36:13
  If you're going to sign up,
• 36:14
  you're going to do it.
• 36:16
  Yeah.
• 36:16
  I have to find an affiliate to do it with.
• 36:20
  I am supporting the open.
• 36:21
  I have decided that I am
• 36:22
  supporting the open.
• 36:24
  I'm going to come and live
• 36:26
  with Charlie for three
• 36:27
  weeks to do the open at
• 36:28
  okay you're a place okay
• 36:30
  okay you can that's my that
• 36:33
  may not be the quietest
• 36:34
  place to live um in
• 36:36
  columbus the the other two
• 36:38
  of us probably have quieter
• 36:39
  houses just to let you know
• 36:41
  that's why I picked it it
• 36:41
  was just you know rile it
• 36:44
  up jump into the fray I can
• 36:47
  take care of some kids and dogs and
• 36:50
  Oh, let's go.
• 36:50
  Well,
• 36:51
  Charlie needs help with his dog for sure.
• 36:52
  Yeah, there you go.
• 36:54
  David says his level is currently blank.
• 36:56
  I think that might be bad news.
• 37:01
  I pulled it up.
• 37:02
  I don't know if you can see it.
• 37:05
  Go dominate level zero, David.
• 37:07
  What do you got?
• 37:09
  I'm level six for the open,
• 37:11
  but level seven for age group.
• 37:15
  And then Charlie,
• 37:16
  you see that other level on there?
• 37:17
  Just want to make sure you
• 37:18
  see that other level.
• 37:19
  Three.
• 37:21
  How do you find that, Amy?
• 37:23
  It's on your login on CrossFit.com,
• 37:25
  and then you go to your
• 37:26
  competition dashboard.
• 37:28
  Okay.
• 37:32
  So Jody says she's on the fence.
• 37:34
  I usually can't do a movement,
• 37:35
  which takes me right out of it.
• 37:37
  Actually,
• 37:38
  you go to login and then do
• 37:40
  manage account, and then it shows you.
• 37:43
  So when I first did the open, Jodi,
• 37:45
  there was no scale division.
• 37:47
  When I first did the open,
• 37:48
  it was RX or nothing.
• 37:51
  And there were definitely
• 37:52
  movements that I could not do at the time,
• 37:54
  but I tried.
• 37:56
  I tried to do the movements for...
• 37:59
  For seven,
• 38:00
  eight minutes straight hanging
• 38:01
  from a pull-up bar.
• 38:03
  There are videos out on
• 38:04
  YouTube from back...
• 38:05
  Because we weren't an
• 38:06
  affiliate at the time,
• 38:07
  so we had to upload videos
• 38:09
  for every submission.
• 38:11
  And there are videos out
• 38:12
  there of me struggling to
• 38:13
  get a toes-to-bar for eight minutes.
• 38:16
  But I tried.
• 38:18
  And what's cool about it is
• 38:19
  sometimes you don't think
• 38:20
  you can do it and you...
• 38:22
  Back then it was like more
• 38:24
  prevalent that you got your
• 38:25
  first something because you
• 38:27
  were forced to go outside
• 38:28
  your box and try something
• 38:30
  that you may or may not be able to do.
• 38:33
  I had friends that snatched
• 38:35
  more weight than they've
• 38:35
  ever snatched in their life.
• 38:37
  It may have been ugly.
• 38:39
  I don't think it was a snatch.
• 38:40
  It looked like a snatch and press.
• 38:44
  The bar was overhead and
• 38:46
  then locked down it.
• 38:49
  So and I think that that
• 38:52
  when we went away from just
• 38:54
  being an RX open to what it is today,
• 38:58
  while I get it for the
• 38:59
  inclusivity and the
• 39:00
  approachable ness of it for
• 39:02
  the average Joe's,
• 39:04
  I think that's when the
• 39:05
  elite athletes suffered as
• 39:08
  a qualifier into the games.
• 39:12
  So because at that point,
• 39:16
  then the definition got
• 39:18
  lost as to what we were trying to do.
• 39:20
  When it was all RX,
• 39:22
  it was the first part of
• 39:23
  the qualification to get to
• 39:25
  the CrossFit Games.
• 39:28
  And then when it got watered
• 39:31
  down a little bit,
• 39:32
  it did all that kind of stuff.
• 39:35
  Jeff, you might be a two on there,
• 39:37
  but you might be a level
• 39:39
  ten in our hearts.
• 39:46
  so um so yeah so there's
• 39:49
  that and then oh my gosh we
• 39:54
  are running along yeah the
• 39:55
  lad the last little bit is
• 39:57
  just real quick news is
• 39:58
  along with this
• 39:59
  announcement the barbell
• 40:00
  spin also added that for
• 40:01
  the first time crossfit is
• 40:03
  doing something the same
• 40:04
  for two years in a row and
• 40:06
  that is they are doing the service cup
• 40:10
  So just like last year,
• 40:13
  the only thing is they
• 40:13
  removed one category from that,
• 40:17
  which is EMS.
• 40:20
  The categories are affiliate owner,
• 40:22
  CrossFit trainer, medical professional,
• 40:25
  educator, military veteran,
• 40:27
  active duty military, law enforcement,
• 40:29
  firefighter, and first responder.
• 40:32
  CrossFit trainer, that's new.
• 40:35
  Yeah.
• 40:35
  It was there last year.
• 40:36
  So your EMS could be under
• 40:38
  first responder.
• 40:38
  Yeah.
• 40:39
  Right, or medical professional.
• 40:41
  Yeah, yeah.
• 40:43
  I think that's probably what they did.
• 40:52
  Yeah.
• 40:53
  So yeah, so that is the same as last year.
• 40:56
  We'll finish with this comment.
• 40:58
  Clock says,
• 40:59
  but the real beef the games
• 41:01
  athletes have with the
• 41:01
  Opens is it should be easy for them.
• 41:03
  Is it that they don't like
• 41:05
  it interrupting their
• 41:06
  refined and delicate peaking process?
• 41:10
  I think they do not like it
• 41:11
  as a qualification to the
• 41:12
  games that it is too easy.
• 41:14
  It is just a cardio test and
• 41:17
  it should be more skill
• 41:19
  based as a qualifier to the
• 41:21
  CrossFit games.
• 41:25
  But every one of these elite
• 41:26
  athletes can make the top one percent.
• 41:30
  I mean, let's be real.
• 41:32
  Without much effort.
• 41:33
  Yeah.
• 41:37
  Sorry, Jay Burch,
• 41:38
  there is no retired educator.
• 41:40
  I think once an educator,
• 41:41
  always an educator.
• 41:45
  I know there are retired law
• 41:47
  enforcement that still
• 41:48
  compete as law enforcement.
• 41:50
  So I would assume the same
• 41:52
  would apply for the educator.
• 41:59
  Well, with that,
• 42:00
  I know a bunch of us have
• 42:02
  to get back to work at one o'clock.
• 42:03
  Yeah, I got to be up.
• 42:05
  So we are there with that, guys.
• 42:06
  Thank you so much for being with us.
• 42:08
  We will see you next time on
• 42:11
  the Clydesdale Media Roundtable.
• 42:13
  Bye.
• 42:14
  Bye.
