• 0:53
  listening anyway uh we love
• 0:55
  having you here so uh got a
• 0:58
  little bit to do today I
• 0:59
  want to go through a couple things
• 1:02
  I'm going to start off with
• 1:03
  just something fun that I
• 1:06
  just came across as I was
• 1:08
  coming down here.
• 1:09
  What's up, Kenneth?
• 1:11
  So I was flipping onto
• 1:13
  Instagram and I'm going to
• 1:17
  share this real quick.
• 1:19
  You know,
• 1:21
  To grow this sport,
• 1:22
  I've said a million times,
• 1:24
  one of the key things is we
• 1:26
  have to stream as much as
• 1:29
  we possibly can.
• 1:31
  And one person out there gets it.
• 1:33
  They just get what it's
• 1:34
  going to take to grow this sport.
• 1:37
  And so I'm going to share
• 1:38
  this real quick because
• 1:40
  this person totally gets
• 1:42
  what has to happen to grow the sport.
• 1:45
  And he has grown his
• 1:46
  following so much in the
• 1:48
  last couple of years
• 1:49
  because he totally gets it.
• 1:51
  So here we go.
• 1:56
  Today, two o'clock central time.
• 1:59
  I'll be at CrossFit Tao
• 2:00
  doing one of the Northern
• 2:02
  California Classic online
• 2:04
  qualifiers live on the Savant podcast.
• 2:12
  Catch me if you can.
• 2:12
  All right.
• 2:16
  Today, two o'clock central time.
• 2:19
  I'll be
• 2:20
  Colt Mertens gets it.
• 2:24
  He just gets it.
• 2:26
  He knows that if he allows
• 2:31
  us to get a peek at what
• 2:34
  his qualifier is going to
• 2:35
  be like and come in and
• 2:37
  take a peek at that,
• 2:38
  whether you live locally
• 2:40
  and you can go to CrossFit
• 2:41
  Tao or if you don't live
• 2:44
  near him and pop onto the
• 2:46
  Savon podcast and watch his
• 2:48
  qualifying workout,
• 2:51
  We get to take a peek into
• 2:53
  what his training, his life,
• 2:56
  what it's like to be a
• 2:57
  professional athlete in this space.
• 3:02
  And this is a guy who is a farmer,
• 3:04
  is a dog raiser,
• 3:07
  all of that kind of stuff,
• 3:07
  and does that inside.
• 3:09
  And then he allows us in to
• 3:11
  see what he's going to be
• 3:12
  doing today to qualify for
• 3:15
  the NorCal Classic,
• 3:17
  which is insane because technically,
• 3:20
  I believe,
• 3:23
  He has an automatic bid to
• 3:24
  NorCal as being a past champion.
• 3:28
  But,
• 3:29
  regardless,
• 3:30
  he's going to go do the qualifier,
• 3:32
  ensure his spot,
• 3:34
  and let us take a peek at that.
• 3:36
  He's not afraid about
• 3:37
  everybody else seeing his score.
• 3:39
  He's just going to go lay it
• 3:40
  down and let us see it,
• 3:44
  which I think is freaking awesome.
• 3:46
  And the more people do this,
• 3:49
  the more the sport will grow,
• 3:50
  the more we get to know them,
• 3:52
  the more we get to root for
• 3:53
  them because we saw their
• 3:54
  journey the whole way to the end.
• 3:58
  this is it it's a guy that
• 4:00
  gets it that's all so um my
• 4:07
  day started a little rough
• 4:09
  uh last night I was going
• 4:10
  to bed realized that the
• 4:13
  garbage gets picked up
• 4:16
  today and I was like shoot
• 4:18
  I haven't put that out so I
• 4:19
  put my shoes back on went to run outside
• 4:24
  If you've been following the
• 4:25
  podcast at all,
• 4:26
  my daughter went through a big breakup.
• 4:28
  She was here over Christmas
• 4:30
  to get some stuff she
• 4:31
  needed into her car.
• 4:32
  She unloaded some stuff into my garage.
• 4:35
  Little did I know that one
• 4:36
  of the things she loaded
• 4:37
  into my garage was a
• 4:39
  five-gallon plastic container of water,
• 4:45
  like one that you put on a
• 4:46
  machine to get cold water
• 4:50
  at a workplace or something like that.
• 4:53
  So apparently, as cold as it's been here,
• 4:58
  one of the last few nights, it exploded.
• 5:01
  The ice expanded,
• 5:03
  broke the sides of the container,
• 5:05
  and whatever water had not
• 5:06
  froze leaked out onto my
• 5:09
  garage floor and then froze to the floor.
• 5:13
  So as I was running out to
• 5:16
  take the trash down, hit that ice,
• 5:21
  went down hard,
• 5:24
  Um, and other than my pride,
• 5:29
  I feel pretty good, but man,
• 5:31
  on the way down, I hit my finger,
• 5:33
  my ring finger on a table
• 5:37
  and it bent in a way that
• 5:40
  it's not supposed to go.
• 5:42
  And it has throbbed ever since last night.
• 5:47
  But thank God it's just my
• 5:49
  finger and not everything else.
• 5:53
  But what kind of sucks is I
• 5:54
  don't even know if you can see.
• 5:55
  This pinky already has been
• 5:57
  broken and bends in a way
• 6:00
  it's really not supposed to
• 6:01
  and it doesn't straighten anymore.
• 6:03
  And then now this,
• 6:04
  the ring finger and the knuckle,
• 6:06
  it went sideways.
• 6:08
  So hopefully it heals where
• 6:10
  I can still have some use
• 6:12
  for it and I can bend it a little.
• 6:15
  But I can't curl it up yet.
• 6:18
  But anyway, got the trash out.
• 6:22
  They came and picked it up.
• 6:24
  Went down, brought the thing in today.
• 6:26
  But there's still ice.
• 6:28
  We're supposed to get up to forty today.
• 6:30
  I'm hoping that that thaws
• 6:32
  and that I can like squeegee it out.
• 6:36
  And yeah.
• 6:39
  And so my, cause once I went down,
• 6:41
  like I couldn't even get back up.
• 6:43
  Like I was just slipping and sliding.
• 6:45
  Um,
• 6:46
  I had to crawl off of the ice and then
• 6:48
  get myself up.
• 6:51
  Oh, what a, what a way.
• 6:53
  Uh, Kenneth.
• 6:54
  Oh, dang fun surprise.
• 6:55
  Oh, it was a surprise.
• 6:57
  And then my wife heard me go down,
• 6:59
  but she is just had knee
• 7:01
  replacement surgery.
• 7:02
  So she couldn't even get up
• 7:04
  to see if I was okay.
• 7:07
  Um,
• 7:08
  She was all ready to call
• 7:09
  nine one one if she didn't
• 7:11
  hear me move or, um,
• 7:16
  any kind of signs of life.
• 7:18
  Uh, so we had that going on, uh, Lana,
• 7:22
  Scott, you have the worst luck.
• 7:23
  Yeah, I do.
• 7:24
  I'm a pretty lucky guy though.
• 7:26
  Like, you know,
• 7:27
  like I have some weird
• 7:28
  things happen to me, uh, injury wise,
• 7:31
  body wise, but, uh, for the most part,
• 7:33
  I'm a lucky guy, uh,
• 7:35
  I love where I'm at.
• 7:36
  I love what I do.
• 7:39
  So couldn't be happier about that.
• 7:42
  But there are these little
• 7:43
  hurdles that I have to overcome in life.
• 7:46
  And I guess that makes me who I am today.
• 7:49
  So, yeah.
• 7:52
  I wanted to do a quick weekly recap.
• 7:56
  This week we had Top Five
• 7:58
  Tuesday where we talked
• 7:59
  about the people we would
• 8:00
  love to have a drink with
• 8:01
  in the CrossFit space.
• 8:03
  We had a couple late additions to that.
• 8:07
  One of those was Kelsey Keough,
• 8:08
  which I talked about maybe
• 8:09
  on yesterday's show and
• 8:11
  maybe the day before.
• 8:12
  And then just got another
• 8:13
  late addition that people
• 8:15
  said Cara Saunders.
• 8:16
  Cara Saunders is one that
• 8:18
  was left off the list that
• 8:20
  Corey and I put together.
• 8:22
  But that person in the
• 8:24
  comments felt like she
• 8:25
  would be a really fun
• 8:26
  person to have a drink with.
• 8:29
  So and I don't disagree.
• 8:30
  I think that would be fun,
• 8:32
  especially now that she has
• 8:33
  kids and she's in a happier headspace.
• 8:36
  I think she'd be a fun,
• 8:37
  fun person to have a drink with for sure.
• 8:41
  Yeah.
• 8:43
  Next week's Top Five Tuesday,
• 8:46
  special guest will be Jeffrey Birchfield.
• 8:50
  Jeffrey Birchfield will be with me,
• 8:52
  and we will be talking
• 8:53
  about the top five
• 8:55
  television shows of all time,
• 8:58
  not counting sitcoms.
• 9:00
  So only like hour-long shows or miniseries,
• 9:06
  not sitcoms.
• 9:10
  So Jay Birch will be with me for that.
• 9:13
  And we will count those down next Tuesday.
• 9:17
  So you may want to get those
• 9:18
  in mind so you can debate
• 9:19
  us on what our top five were.
• 9:23
  And I don't know what his are.
• 9:25
  All we do is we say a topic
• 9:27
  and we tell them to each
• 9:28
  other live on the air.
• 9:29
  So neither one of us know
• 9:30
  what we have before we get here.
• 9:36
  And if you have any ideas
• 9:37
  for topics for Top Five Tuesday,
• 9:40
  throw them in the comments.
• 9:42
  Love to hear from you.
• 9:44
  I'd like to do like every
• 9:45
  other one being CrossFit
• 9:47
  related to non-CrossFit
• 9:48
  related and back and forth as we go.
• 9:51
  So the next one I'm looking
• 9:52
  for is a CrossFit related
• 9:54
  Top Five Tuesday.
• 9:56
  If you could shoot me one,
• 9:58
  that'd be awesome.
• 9:59
  And speaking of CrossFit related Top Fives,
• 10:01
  this was just off the cuff.
• 10:04
  yesterday on the round table
• 10:05
  we talked about the top
• 10:06
  five hairdos and top and
• 10:08
  the worst hairdos of all
• 10:10
  time in the crossfit space
• 10:13
  that was a fun countdown
• 10:14
  we've gotten some comments
• 10:15
  on that uh if you didn't
• 10:17
  hear that it was a lot of
• 10:18
  fun to do um and
• 10:20
  surprisingly easy to come
• 10:22
  up with uh hairstyles that
• 10:24
  we liked and hairstyles we
• 10:26
  didn't like so judy reed
• 10:31
  says best dressed for crossfit okay
• 10:35
  sounds cool so you're
• 10:38
  talking about off of the
• 10:39
  floor because most of them
• 10:42
  have to be in some kind of
• 10:43
  uniform on the floor they
• 10:45
  have to wear I could see
• 10:49
  like fashion trends um
• 10:51
  something like that yeah we
• 10:52
  can we can work with that
• 10:57
  uh top five open workouts
• 10:59
  is a fun topic that would
• 11:00
  be a fun one too pat yep
• 11:03
  Okay, thanks for the suggestions.
• 11:05
  Keep them coming,
• 11:06
  and we'll come up with one.
• 11:08
  But this next one will be
• 11:09
  top five television shows
• 11:10
  of all time with Jay Birch next week.
• 11:13
  And then I'll grab another
• 11:14
  one of you all to join me
• 11:16
  the following week for our
• 11:18
  CrossFit-based one.
• 11:22
  This Sunday night,
• 11:23
  we're going to preview Wadapalooza.
• 11:26
  Carolyn, Jamie,
• 11:26
  and I will break down all
• 11:28
  the workouts that have been released,
• 11:31
  who that favors, who it doesn't,
• 11:33
  and we'll make our picks on
• 11:35
  who will do the best at
• 11:38
  Waterpalooza in both the
• 11:39
  individual and team aspects,
• 11:42
  plus anything else CrossFit
• 11:44
  related that comes up over the weekend.
• 11:47
  We'll talk about that there.
• 11:49
  So join us for that.
• 11:53
  Real quick,
• 11:54
  I'm going to go through this
• 11:55
  week's NFL games and give
• 11:58
  you my picks for the weekend.
• 12:01
  It's a jam-packed, what is it,
• 12:03
  semifinal weekend, maybe?
• 12:08
  We're to the final...
• 12:13
  to the final eight teams to
• 12:16
  determine the conference
• 12:17
  championships next weekend
• 12:19
  and then the Super Bowl after that.
• 12:21
  We start Saturday at four
• 12:23
  thirty with Texans at Chiefs.
• 12:27
  The text,
• 12:28
  the Chiefs are favored by eight and
• 12:32
  I would go with the Chiefs
• 12:33
  on this to win outright,
• 12:36
  but I think the Texans are
• 12:38
  going to cover.
• 12:39
  I think it's going to be
• 12:39
  closer than people think.
• 12:41
  So I think Texans to cover
• 12:44
  and Chiefs to win.
• 12:47
  Then Saturday night,
• 12:48
  we have the Washington
• 12:50
  Commanders at the Lions.
• 12:52
  Commanders are getting nine
• 12:53
  and a half points.
• 12:55
  I think the Lions getting
• 12:57
  back David Montgomery is
• 12:58
  going to make them a clear cut favorite.
• 13:01
  I think the Jaden Daniels
• 13:03
  rookie season comes to an
• 13:05
  end and the Lions put them
• 13:07
  away pretty early.
• 13:09
  I would even I even think
• 13:10
  the Lions are going to cover.
• 13:13
  on this one.
• 13:15
  Uh, the commanders have played great, uh,
• 13:18
  but beating Tampa Bay is
• 13:19
  not beating the lions.
• 13:20
  So we're going to pick the
• 13:21
  lions to cover and to
• 13:23
  outright win Saturday night.
• 13:25
  Then on Sunday, early game,
• 13:27
  we have Rams at Eagles.
• 13:30
  Rams are getting six and a half points.
• 13:33
  Um, and this is the one I just don't know.
• 13:39
  Uh,
• 13:41
  I think the Eagles are going to win,
• 13:44
  but I do think the Rams
• 13:45
  will make it close.
• 13:46
  So Eagles to win outright,
• 13:49
  I'll take the six and a
• 13:50
  half and go with the Rams on the line.
• 13:55
  And then the final game of
• 13:57
  the weekend is Ravens at Bills,
• 14:00
  the matchup of the two
• 14:01
  people contending for the MVP,
• 14:05
  Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen.
• 14:08
  This is only a one-point spread.
• 14:12
  The Bills are getting one point at home,
• 14:15
  which is just insane.
• 14:21
  I am going to take the Bills
• 14:24
  to win and give me the point, too,
• 14:26
  because I think they're going to win.
• 14:29
  I just think it's Josh
• 14:30
  Allen's year in the AFC.
• 14:34
  and I have a feeling he's
• 14:35
  going to make it all the
• 14:37
  way to the Super Bowl.
• 14:38
  So give me the Bills and the point,
• 14:41
  but I think they're going
• 14:41
  to win outright as well.
• 14:44
  So recap, Chiefs to win,
• 14:46
  but they're not going to cover.
• 14:49
  Lions to win, they will cover.
• 14:51
  Eagles to win, but they will not cover.
• 14:54
  And the Bills, give me the point,
• 14:56
  and I'll pick the underdog
• 14:58
  and take them to win outright.
• 15:00
  So those are my picks for the weekend.
• 15:02
  It's going to be a fun weekend.
• 15:04
  Weekend of NFL football, fun to watch.
• 15:08
  A lot of exciting storylines in here.
• 15:12
  So we have that.
• 15:14
  The other thing I wanted to talk about,
• 15:15
  and this came to mind,
• 15:18
  A couple nights ago, I was watching,
• 15:20
  I think it was Sevan Live
• 15:24
  from wherever they were at,
• 15:25
  at the Broken Science Initiative.
• 15:28
  And someone had brought up
• 15:29
  that Christy O'Connell,
• 15:31
  Christy Aramo O'Connell,
• 15:33
  had bought followers on YouTube.
• 15:37
  hired an agency to do so.
• 15:39
  I don't know how people figure this out.
• 15:42
  I've looked at some of the
• 15:43
  stuff that Hiller uses to
• 15:45
  see like followers that
• 15:48
  they gain and lose in a given timeframe.
• 15:52
  And you can tell like when
• 15:53
  they're big chunks,
• 15:54
  they're probably buying them.
• 15:57
  But I just don't have the
• 15:58
  time to go through all of that.
• 16:03
  One, I will say, Kenneth is like,
• 16:06
  I've been waiting for my
• 16:07
  reaction on this.
• 16:12
  And Judy says,
• 16:13
  I don't believe it or I refuse to.
• 16:19
  So I'm going to tell you my
• 16:20
  own story because I don't
• 16:22
  think it's as simple as you
• 16:24
  buy followers or you don't buy followers.
• 16:26
  So back about three and a half,
• 16:29
  four years ago,
• 16:31
  we've been around for five years.
• 16:34
  About three and a half years ago,
• 16:36
  I was approached by a guy
• 16:37
  saying that he was a
• 16:38
  podcast marketer and that
• 16:41
  he could help us market our podcast.
• 16:45
  And one of the reasons we
• 16:46
  didn't think we were
• 16:46
  growing much at the time is
• 16:48
  like everybody else in the
• 16:49
  space had an existing name in the space.
• 16:53
  They had created that early
• 16:54
  on and we were kind of later to the game.
• 16:58
  And so it was really hard
• 17:00
  not being a former athlete
• 17:02
  or anything like that,
• 17:05
  just working as a volunteer
• 17:07
  and stuff like that.
• 17:08
  We were really big like inside the space,
• 17:10
  but we couldn't get
• 17:13
  outside to like spectator
• 17:15
  fan people like that so we
• 17:18
  had a talk with him he we
• 17:20
  did a lot we did we sent
• 17:22
  photos of stuff we were
• 17:23
  doing we sent uh
• 17:25
  screenshots of people we
• 17:27
  had on his guests and then
• 17:29
  he was going to do all this
• 17:30
  marketing and and also do
• 17:32
  some uh search engine
• 17:35
  optimization for us so we
• 17:38
  paid him to do this
• 17:41
  Our followers went up,
• 17:43
  our subscribers went up,
• 17:45
  all of that stuff.
• 17:46
  But then we noticed that
• 17:48
  none of them were from here
• 17:50
  in the United States.
• 17:53
  They were from the Ukraine
• 17:56
  and Russia and Eastern Bloc countries.
• 18:01
  And so immediately we were like,
• 18:02
  this is not marketing.
• 18:04
  They're just grabbing people
• 18:07
  or using bots or something
• 18:09
  to give us stuff.
• 18:10
  And so we nixed that really quick.
• 18:15
  but we did gain a few
• 18:16
  hundred followers at the
• 18:17
  time uh when that happened
• 18:19
  and it was no intention to
• 18:20
  buy anything we were just
• 18:23
  trying to get marketing out
• 18:24
  there uh to help us out to
• 18:27
  help launch our channel so
• 18:29
  that we could just spread
• 18:30
  the word of who we were um
• 18:34
  now I don't know
• 18:36
  what other people do.
• 18:37
  And I can,
• 18:38
  it is obvious when I'm watching
• 18:40
  the numbers to kind of compare,
• 18:42
  which I don't really even
• 18:43
  do that much anymore.
• 18:44
  But back when I was trying
• 18:45
  to compare myself to others,
• 18:48
  you could see people make
• 18:49
  massive jumps in like a
• 18:51
  week and you knew that
• 18:53
  something had happened.
• 18:56
  But you can also get into
• 18:57
  these traps where we did
• 18:59
  this with all good
• 19:00
  intentions and turned out
• 19:02
  to be something that wasn't
• 19:06
  what we anticipated and got
• 19:10
  kind of stuck in that.
• 19:12
  Now,
• 19:13
  YouTube has done a scrub over the...
• 19:15
  They do this periodically.
• 19:17
  And we've lost like a couple
• 19:19
  hundred followers or subscribers,
• 19:22
  which is fine with me.
• 19:23
  I want it to be real.
• 19:24
  I want to know truly where
• 19:26
  we are and not have
• 19:29
  inflated numbers that mean nothing to me.
• 19:31
  To me, that is very much like...
• 19:34
  Um, a rep shaver at a gym.
• 19:36
  Um,
• 19:37
  when you put down your time and you
• 19:38
  shaved reps,
• 19:39
  you don't really know where
• 19:40
  you are and you can't
• 19:41
  compare yourself to where
• 19:42
  you you've been.
• 19:43
  Um,
• 19:44
  I want to know truly what our numbers
• 19:47
  are.
• 19:47
  And so we,
• 19:49
  we broke off with that agency as
• 19:51
  quickly as we could.
• 19:52
  Um, but yeah.
• 19:56
  That's our story.
• 19:57
  And I don't know if other
• 19:58
  people have fallen into
• 19:59
  that same thing by like
• 20:00
  hiring a marketing agency,
• 20:01
  thinking it was legit and
• 20:04
  truly trying to market you the podcast.
• 20:07
  Like they asked for
• 20:08
  everything that you thought
• 20:09
  would be a marketing piece
• 20:11
  with pictures and videos
• 20:13
  and all this stuff.
• 20:14
  And then turns out it really
• 20:17
  wasn't what it was cracked up to be.
• 20:20
  So,
• 20:21
  but the numbers they were saying the
• 20:23
  other night on Savan were
• 20:25
  massive number jumps.
• 20:27
  And that's really hard to believe.
• 20:29
  And I hope they didn't buy
• 20:31
  them because I don't think
• 20:32
  it gets you anywhere in this space.
• 20:37
  If like when we go for sponsors.
• 20:40
  They ask for our demographic breakdown.
• 20:42
  And if your subscribers or
• 20:45
  followers are from Russia and the Ukraine,
• 20:48
  that's not who they want to market to.
• 20:51
  So, yeah.
• 20:55
  But now all of ours are
• 20:56
  pretty much cleaned up.
• 20:57
  Everything that we have is
• 20:59
  pretty much Europe and Australia and U.S.
• 21:02
  based.
• 21:04
  Um, so we're really happy with that, um,
• 21:07
  that we've gotten that
• 21:07
  cleaned up and it's really
• 21:09
  more realistic for us and
• 21:10
  we can now see true growth as opposed to,
• 21:14
  um, maybe or maybe not.
• 21:16
  It was due to us.
• 21:17
  So.
• 21:18
  That's just my story.
• 21:19
  And I wanted to kind of
• 21:20
  address it from a different perspective.
• 21:23
  It's really easy to like shoot blame,
• 21:26
  not knowing how the back
• 21:27
  end of the business works.
• 21:29
  But sometimes you get lured
• 21:30
  into things that you didn't
• 21:31
  really know existed or
• 21:33
  people scamming you.
• 21:37
  It's everywhere.
• 21:38
  I mean, my gosh,
• 21:38
  people try to scam you over
• 21:40
  everything these days.
• 21:41
  And even as a podcaster or a
• 21:44
  content creator,
• 21:45
  they try to do the same thing.
• 21:48
  so just being honest with
• 21:49
  you guys and letting you
• 21:50
  know what we went through
• 21:52
  uh to kind of give a
• 21:53
  different perspective maybe
• 21:56
  so there's that um blessing
• 22:02
  is uh you know friday is
• 22:04
  always a vinyl vault friday
• 22:07
  uh that we're trying here
• 22:09
  and what I wanted to do is um judy said
• 22:16
  didn't know that side scott
• 22:17
  thank you for sharing yeah
• 22:18
  it's it's embarrassing to
• 22:20
  me that I got scammed I really
• 22:23
  debated whether telling that
• 22:24
  side of it because I feel I
• 22:28
  always think of myself as a
• 22:29
  pretty intelligent guy and
• 22:31
  I can sniff out that stuff.
• 22:33
  And especially working for
• 22:34
  the state government here
• 22:35
  where we're kind of trained
• 22:37
  to not allow that stuff in
• 22:40
  or get infiltrated.
• 22:41
  And I, man, I fell hook,
• 22:42
  line and sinker because I
• 22:44
  wanted this dream of a show
• 22:45
  that I could do this thing
• 22:47
  that I love to do so much.
• 22:48
  And I just,
• 22:51
  I didn't look at the warning signs and,
• 22:54
  Yeah, it really sucked.
• 22:56
  And it wasn't cheap either,
• 22:57
  and it didn't really get us anywhere.
• 22:58
  So yeah, big loss of money.
• 23:02
  So Vinyl Vault Friday,
• 23:05
  this is where I bring a
• 23:06
  couple of my vinyls down,
• 23:07
  talk about a different
• 23:09
  subject every week.
• 23:11
  And this week,
• 23:12
  what I decided to do is
• 23:13
  bring down some of my
• 23:16
  vinyls that represent the best rap music
• 23:21
  or the rap music that kind
• 23:22
  of got me into that to start with.
• 23:25
  And these are some of my
• 23:26
  favorite rap albums of all time.
• 23:29
  And so we will start with this one.
• 23:38
  Uh, when it came out,
• 23:39
  it was something I had never,
• 23:41
  ever heard anything like this before.
• 23:44
  And, um,
• 23:46
  I was actually working as a
• 23:48
  bouncer in a club and this
• 23:49
  was on all the time in the club.
• 23:53
  So if you guys don't know this one,
• 23:57
  snoop dog doggy style uh one
• 24:01
  of my favorite albums of
• 24:02
  all time um really got me
• 24:05
  into the rap stuff and gin
• 24:08
  and juice you couldn't go
• 24:09
  anywhere at that time and
• 24:11
  not hear that song um and
• 24:14
  I'd never heard anything like it so uh
• 24:19
  great album.
• 24:19
  Um, it has a couple of different covers.
• 24:22
  Um, love this one.
• 24:24
  Um, got this about five years ago.
• 24:27
  Uh,
• 24:27
  this is a digitally remastered version.
• 24:30
  This is not the original, um,
• 24:32
  version of the album, uh,
• 24:34
  but something that I love and, uh,
• 24:36
  wanted to share it with you guys.
• 24:41
  Um,
• 24:42
  the next one is probably the first rap
• 24:45
  album that,
• 24:47
  other than vanilla ice and, uh,
• 24:49
  MC hammer that I heard and just was like,
• 24:53
  what the hell is that?
• 24:55
  And this is my most valuable
• 24:56
  piece of vinyl that I own.
• 24:58
  Um, this is an original copy, um,
• 25:01
  of the first pressing of
• 25:02
  this album and it is NWA
• 25:08
  straight out of Compton.
• 25:11
  Um,
• 25:14
  This was game-changing in the rap world.
• 25:20
  What a tour de force for
• 25:21
  these guys to come onto the scene.
• 25:25
  Of course,
• 25:25
  you have Express Yourself and
• 25:27
  Straight Outta Compton, F the Police.
• 25:32
  It's just banger after banger,
• 25:35
  and what a group,
• 25:36
  and what they have
• 25:39
  accomplished since has been amazing.
• 25:42
  But dang,
• 25:45
  Dr. Dre and Ice Cube have gone on
• 25:47
  to do amazing things.
• 25:50
  Regretfully, we've lost Eazy-E, but dang.
• 25:54
  And yeah,
• 25:56
  this piece is probably worth six
• 26:00
  to seven hundred dollars.
• 26:02
  And it's the most valuable
• 26:04
  piece of vinyl that I own
• 26:06
  in my collection.
• 26:08
  So still plays great.
• 26:12
  thank goodness nobody
• 26:13
  scratched it or did the with it.
• 26:16
  Uh, but yeah,
• 26:20
  then all of these are so unique.
• 26:25
  Um, this was a little bit later.
• 26:28
  Uh, and this guy came out and when,
• 26:34
  when he came on the scene,
• 26:36
  nobody sounded like this guy.
• 26:38
  This guy was rhyming with
• 26:39
  the middle of words and,
• 26:42
  just amazing so I had a
• 26:44
  couple to choose from I
• 26:46
  picked this one uh this is
• 26:49
  eminem curtain call this is
• 26:50
  his greatest hits from like
• 26:52
  the first half of his
• 26:54
  career um but I eminem is
• 27:00
  one of my favorite artists of all time uh
• 27:03
  And this album cover cover
• 27:06
  is just awesome.
• 27:08
  But it has a lot of his big hits on it.
• 27:11
  With Stan, My Name Is, The Way I Am,
• 27:15
  Lose Yourself, Real Slim Shady,
• 27:23
  Mockingbird.
• 27:24
  There's just so many bangers on this.
• 27:28
  He is definitely one of my
• 27:29
  favorite artists of all time.
• 27:31
  And his voice is so distinguishable.
• 27:34
  You can tell it's him
• 27:35
  immediately when he hits
• 27:38
  the radio or whatever
• 27:41
  you're listening to at the time.
• 27:43
  But just another game
• 27:46
  changer in the space.
• 27:50
  And then finally,
• 27:52
  this was big in my bouncing days as well.
• 27:55
  Came out about the same time
• 27:56
  as Snoop Dogg's album.
• 27:59
  And that is...
• 28:01
  Dr. Dre, The Chronic.
• 28:03
  This is legendary.
• 28:05
  And this was just the
• 28:06
  beginning of what Dr. Dre
• 28:08
  was going to pull off.
• 28:10
  If you have not seen the
• 28:12
  documentary about Dr. Dre
• 28:14
  and Jimmy Iovine creating
• 28:17
  Interscope Records, you need to see it.
• 28:20
  What they did from a
• 28:21
  business sense is remarkable.
• 28:25
  But this album, his first album solo,
• 28:30
  is amazing.
• 28:33
  Um, yeah,
• 28:37
  let it ride the chronic F with Dre day.
• 28:42
  Um, this thing is freaking awesome.
• 28:45
  Um,
• 28:45
  I actually had a special edition of this,
• 28:48
  but came across a really big Dre fan and,
• 28:51
  uh,
• 28:52
  gave that to them as a Christmas gift
• 28:54
  and then just went with the
• 28:55
  regular version for myself.
• 28:58
  Um,
• 29:01
  But yeah.
• 29:02
  So those are like the four
• 29:04
  albums in my collection
• 29:06
  that represent kind of
• 29:08
  my favorite rap artists.
• 29:11
  And really it's just the,
• 29:12
  like I still listen to some today,
• 29:15
  but those are the guys that
• 29:16
  got me into it.
• 29:18
  Dre and Snoop,
• 29:18
  when I was bouncing in the club,
• 29:20
  that was playing all the time.
• 29:23
  Before that,
• 29:23
  I found NWA and that was being
• 29:26
  played at parties all the
• 29:28
  time in college.
• 29:29
  And that's where I got to know that.
• 29:31
  And then Eminem later on,
• 29:33
  when he hit the scene,
• 29:34
  it just was like nothing
• 29:35
  else I'd ever heard of.
• 29:39
  amazing and he still is
• 29:41
  amazing today so that is my
• 29:45
  vinyl my vault vinyl vault
• 29:48
  friday uh kenneth is I'm
• 29:54
  starting to get in this new
• 29:54
  country rap guy shibuzi
• 29:57
  shibuzi's good I've used
• 29:58
  him in a couple reels
• 29:59
  lately uh his stuff is really really good
• 30:05
  It's amazing where music goes, right?
• 30:06
  Like who would have said, uh,
• 30:09
  years ago that you would have rap country,
• 30:12
  um,
• 30:12
  little Nas X and shaboosy and all this
• 30:15
  stuff.
• 30:16
  And here we are like,
• 30:17
  it's some of the most
• 30:18
  popular stuff out there.
• 30:20
  Um, pretty amazing.
• 30:24
  I, that's, that's what I love about music.
• 30:26
  Every time you think you've,
• 30:27
  you've got a pigeon down
• 30:29
  what you figured it out.
• 30:30
  Someone comes along and does
• 30:32
  something that just blows your mind.
• 30:36
  That's why I love that.
• 30:37
  I love music.
• 30:38
  I love CrossFit.
• 30:39
  I love football.
• 30:40
  Those are the things I love most in life.
• 30:42
  And so, so yeah.
• 30:47
  So that's about the show for today.

  We have Sunday night CrossFit talk.

• 31:17
  water Palooza preview.
• 31:19
  Um,
• 31:21
  We will break down
• 31:22
  everything happening at
• 31:23
  Guadalupalooza this coming weekend.
• 31:27
  Not this one, but the following one.
• 31:31
  And the new location in South Beach.
• 31:35
  I have some people down
• 31:38
  there shooting for me again this year.
• 31:43
  So we should have some stuff
• 31:45
  up on our socials throughout the weekend,
• 31:48
  live from there.
• 31:50
  And then we'll break down
• 31:54
  the men and the women and
• 31:55
  the teams on Sunday night.
• 31:58
  CrossFit talk with Carolyn and Jamie.
• 32:01
  We'll talk about the video
• 32:02
  that Carolyn put out of her
• 32:06
  kipping reverse burpee box jump overs.
• 32:10
  See how that goes.
• 32:12
  She's gotten a lot of feedback on that.
• 32:17
  Yes, I have a long weekend.
• 32:18
  It is MLK Day on Monday,
• 32:20
  so I have Monday off.
• 32:22
  I'll still do a lunch with
• 32:23
  the Clydesdale then,
• 32:25
  and I'll preview the
• 32:26
  college football game that night,
• 32:27
  which is Ohio State Notre Dame.
• 32:30
  And we'll see how my picks
• 32:31
  were for the NFL.
• 32:33
  And we'll recap anything
• 32:35
  from the Sunday night show
• 32:39
  that we need to for that.
• 32:41
  We're also Sunday night
• 32:42
  going to have Ask Carolyn
• 32:44
  and Jamie time where you
• 32:46
  guys can just ask them any
• 32:47
  questions about the upcoming season,
• 32:50
  about training,
• 32:51
  about anything they have
• 32:53
  going on in their lives.
• 32:55
  They're going to open up and
• 32:56
  talk about that as well.
• 32:59
  With that,
• 33:00
  I think that's pretty much everything.
• 33:02
  If you haven't caught the
• 33:03
  Hattie Canio video from this week,
• 33:06
  please check that out.
• 33:07
  It was a great interview.
• 33:09
  We start talking about the
• 33:09
  wildfires and we talk about
• 33:11
  her experience as a rookie
• 33:12
  at the games and then
• 33:14
  getting ready for the
• 33:15
  offseason and now trying to
• 33:17
  get geared up and figuring
• 33:19
  out what she's going to do
• 33:21
  throughout this season in
• 33:22
  twenty twenty five.
• 33:24
  So.
• 33:27
  Yeah, so Judy,
• 33:27
  we get Monday off to watch
• 33:29
  the Buckeyes play.
• 33:30
  Yeah,
• 33:30
  I would prefer getting Tuesday off if
• 33:32
  I was a Buckeye fan because
• 33:34
  that way I don't have to
• 33:35
  get up early after the game.
• 33:38
  I'm at an age now where I
• 33:39
  prefer the afternoon games
• 33:41
  as opposed to the night
• 33:42
  games because then I get more sleep.
• 33:48
  Well, with that, guys,
• 33:50
  I need to get back to work.
