Lunch with the Clydesdale - Did we Learn Anything This Weekend? · Clydesdale Media Podcast

0:02
When I say things on this show,
0:03
I never, ever know who's listening.
0:06
Every once in a while,
0:07
I get a clue.
0:09
Let's talk about it.
0:23
I love the chase and the hunt and
0:24
I set the pace when I'm running.
0:26
I always take what I want and I
0:27
always give it one hundred.
0:29
Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.
0:30
Play the game like it's nothing.
0:32
I'm always thankful for something.
0:33
Don't take for granted, stay humble.
0:35
Now wake up!
0:36
It's time to look at the enemy.
0:38
Look in the mirror if he is no
0:40
friend to me.
0:42
What is going on everybody?
0:44
It is lunchtime.
0:46
Lunch with the Clydesdale.
0:47
Here we go.
0:48
Going to get things kicked off today.
0:51
It is a victory Monday.
0:53
As you can see,
0:53
I am garbed out in full Bears gear.
0:58
Four wins in a row.
0:59
Haven't seen that since two thousand
1:01
eighteen.
1:02
I have no idea what this is supposed
1:05
to feel like.
1:07
So I'm just like chilling, relaxing,
1:11
enjoying and just can't wait till next
1:14
week.
1:15
See if we can put five together.
1:19
So we got Corey in the house.
1:21
We got Trent Olive in the house.
1:24
Megan got swept up in the Amazon server
1:28
debacle this morning and her workout app
1:31
is down.
1:33
Anyone want to share their workout?
1:36
Trent Olive came up with three, six, nine,
1:39
twelve, fifteen, eighteen,
1:40
twenty one box jump overs,
1:43
three wall walks after each set.
1:48
That is rough.
1:50
Rough.
1:57
Corey Leonard,
1:58
I learned y'all should listen to me when
2:00
I tell you Sammy Pugh is going to
2:01
be top five.
2:05
I think you said more than top five,
2:07
but okay.
2:11
Way to kind of like refine that in,
2:14
in your story there, Corey.
2:18
But I'm sure we'll talk about that later
2:20
this week.
2:24
We've got Arlene.
2:25
We've got Ken at the lab.
2:26
We've got Jody, Megan.
2:29
We've got Lito.
2:31
What's going on, Lito?
2:35
We've got Jake in the house.
2:38
Wow, cool.
2:40
So what I'm going to kick off with
2:43
first is my cold open was that you
2:46
say things you never know.
2:48
You never know who's listening.
2:50
If you were with me at the beginning
2:52
of last week,
2:54
there was a clickbait advertisement for
2:57
the Rich Froning podcast.
3:00
I watched all ninety minutes of that and
3:02
I made the statement that it was a
3:04
waste of time.
3:06
And what I meant by that is it
3:07
didn't match the clickbait.
3:10
Still interesting conversation.
3:12
Still good guys hanging out.
3:14
But nothing met what was promised in the
3:17
clickbait.
3:18
And so I said it was not worth
3:21
watching.
3:22
Andrew Hiller clicked that,
3:24
or Dense Updates clicked that.
3:25
Somebody did.
3:27
And Rich released another podcast this
3:30
morning.
3:30
I don't know if you guys saw that.
3:32
And what is the title?
3:37
A waste of your time.
3:40
A waste of your time.
3:43
So apparently,
3:45
Rich heard what I had to say,
3:47
either through the clip or through the
3:49
show, or maybe Scott Vandersloot heard it.
3:52
But I think that was a shot fired
3:54
back at me.
3:58
So what I'll say today is...
4:05
What I'll say today is it was a
4:07
fun listen.
4:09
If you're looking for any kind of news,
4:11
this is not the podcast for you.
4:13
It's more about Darren, Austin,
4:19
and Rich talking about the good old days,
4:22
how they promoted the sport back in the
4:24
day.
4:25
Is there a way to go back to
4:27
any of those things?
4:29
So not a complete waste of your time
4:30
this week.
4:32
But if you're looking for news,
4:33
this isn't the one for you.
4:34
This is just a fun, entertaining podcast,
4:38
and go check it out.
4:39
But when I saw that I actually took
4:41
a big gulp, like, oh, shit,
4:43
what did I...
4:45
Did I upset Rich and crew?
4:49
But interesting to see that they took my
4:51
statement and...
4:54
entitled it what i said last week so
4:59
um very very interesting uh today's show
5:05
is not going to be super long um
5:06
i have an appointment that i have to
5:08
get to uh so uh joseph yeah what's
5:14
up scott penn state's in a downward spiral
5:17
um
5:19
Yeah, I can't even talk about it.
5:22
It's a free fall at this point.
5:26
I'm just I'm just done with college
5:28
football, at least for this season.
5:30
We'll see who the new hire is.
5:31
We'll see what goes on there.
5:33
But I am just I'm just I can't
5:37
anymore.
5:39
Yeah.
5:40
It was a fun listen.
5:41
The, the, the rich running podcast,
5:43
super fun listen.
5:45
And actually the title waste of your time.
5:47
They don't even,
5:47
they don't even address it.
5:50
Um,
5:50
they don't even address the title in the
5:52
show.
5:53
Um,
5:57
Corey,
5:57
I don't think you can compare what LSU's
6:00
downward spiral is to Penn State.
6:02
We are losing to teams that don't even
6:05
win games.
6:07
It's just Billy Napier's available.
6:12
Yeah,
6:12
there's a lot of firings happening this
6:14
year and way early in the season.
6:18
This new NIL college football thing is
6:20
getting out of hand.
6:23
Totally, totally out of hand.
6:31
I think for one reason or another,
6:33
people assume what CrossFit media is
6:35
always circling around breaking news.
6:37
I've enjoyed listening to shows without
6:38
breaking news recently.
6:40
The HQ shows are awesome.
6:42
So what I'm saying, Jake,
6:44
is not that I expected Rich to break
6:46
news.
6:48
Only for the fact that they did a
6:50
clickbait reel where they talked about the
6:54
affiliation,
6:55
where they talked about what happened at
6:58
Coaches Congress.
7:00
in the real but when you get into
7:02
the video they did not every time they
7:05
broached one of those subjects someone
7:08
interrupted them and they went off on
7:10
another direction and i believe it was
7:13
planned i believe it was strategic and so
7:16
that's what i was saying it was a
7:17
waste of time i like shows for
7:21
entertainment as well so um yeah
7:31
Eric Mackey, NIL is awful,
7:33
will have even worse effects three to five
7:35
years down the road.
7:37
Here's what I think it's causing is people
7:40
are leaving for the money.
7:43
People aren't showing the...
7:47
People aren't showing the grit and
7:51
determination to fight for a job anymore.
7:54
And they're getting paid millions of
7:56
dollars to leave one school and go to
7:58
another.
7:58
And I believe priorities are out of whack.
8:01
And that is not creating the best human
8:03
beings.
8:03
And it's not creating the best athletes
8:05
for the NFL.
8:07
And so it...
8:10
It's giving other factors that are going
8:11
to be determining whether someone gets
8:13
drafted or not,
8:14
whether the way they look at things,
8:18
it's going to be crazy.
8:23
Yeah, Jake,
8:23
they learn clickbait gets numbers.
8:31
Is it the NIL or the portal?
8:33
Yes.
8:34
Phil to pooper.
8:34
It is.
8:35
It is that.
8:43
During the Mayhem podcast,
8:44
I was super curious why the Buttery Bro
8:46
was there and they never addressed it,
8:49
but it felt significant.
8:50
Maybe not.
8:53
I don't know.
8:54
There's been a lot of criticism with the
8:56
Media Hill that the Buttery Bros have not
8:59
done anything CrossFit for a year.
9:03
So I'm wondering if they're trying to get
9:05
their way back in.
9:07
I also know Mayhem's hiring a media
9:09
director.
9:10
So...
9:14
I don't know.
9:17
I don't want to make up a smear
9:19
campaign or make up news,
9:21
so I'll just leave it at that.
9:23
But it was interesting that the Buttery
9:25
Bros were there.
9:27
But I know that they're tight.
9:28
Like, Heber did Froning Four,
9:30
the big documentary.
9:32
That was Heber's baby.
9:34
So they are tight.
9:35
I know that they are close.
9:37
And it makes sense that they're there.
9:41
I guess I didn't really think a lot
9:43
about it.
9:45
So...
9:51
Yeah, I think you're right.
9:52
Aaron Frazier,
9:53
the simplification of the game,
9:54
because you don't have players for four
9:56
years is really happening.
10:03
So
10:08
get it most people don't enjoy the boring
10:10
stuff the gym stuff and that's cool for
10:11
us guys there are outlets i i agree
10:14
jake you're you're awesome at the gym
10:16
stuff and getting into those things and
10:18
that's why i watch you guys um problem
10:22
is you're on so early in the morning
10:23
for me i have to watch it after
10:25
the fact i wish i could catch more
10:26
of them live
10:31
All right, so let's hit the next thing.
10:35
CrossFit released their new marketing
10:37
campaign.
10:37
We talked about it on last night's show.
10:40
And my worry was that were they going
10:44
to focus too much on elite athletes or
10:47
were they going to focus more on the
10:49
everyday gym athletes?
10:51
goer and,
10:52
and the coaching and all of that.
10:54
And I was pleasantly surprised that I
10:58
think they used forging elite fitness in a
11:00
way that makes sense and, um,
11:05
and speaks to people out there.
11:07
Now we talked last night that there are
11:09
people that want the easy, easy way out.
11:12
They don't want to put in the hard
11:13
work and there is no way that you,
11:17
um,
11:19
can get results without putting in the
11:21
work.
11:22
And I love the way that they have
11:24
done this to kind of push that button.
11:29
So I'm going to go ahead and play
11:30
it for you guys.
11:31
If you have not seen it,
11:32
here is the new marketing campaign just
11:35
hot off the presses at like noon today,
11:37
Eastern time.
11:39
It was just released.
11:40
So here we go.
11:50
It all starts with a choice.
11:54
You don't feel strong.
11:57
You don't feel ready.
11:59
Good.
12:01
You showed up.
12:03
That's the only starting point.
12:06
This isn't about perfection.
12:09
It's about the fight.
12:12
Failure?
12:13
It's not a detour.
12:17
It's the road that progress demands.
12:20
We don't ask, are you able?
12:24
We ask, are you willing?
12:30
Willing to walk through the door,
12:33
to turn fears into fuel,
12:36
to keep showing up again and again.
12:41
The true test has never been ability.
12:45
It's willingness.
13:01
So there you have it.
13:02
CrossFit's newest marketing campaign,
13:05
Forging Elite Fitness.
13:07
Again,
13:09
my hope was that they weren't going to
13:12
lean into the elite athlete because some
13:14
of the pictures that were coming out
13:16
before this yesterday showed some of the
13:18
elite athletes.
13:20
And I love that this was at the
13:21
root of the community in the gyms.
13:24
And it's about,
13:25
are you willing to show up?
13:27
Are you willing to show up?
13:30
and show up day in and day out.
13:33
And it is awesome.
13:35
Love it.
13:40
We've got so good.
13:42
This is so good.
13:45
Jake, I don't know whose voice it is.
13:47
It's nobody that I recognize.
13:50
i've been doing crossfit for almost eight
13:52
years and this even fires me up um
13:55
jake says good uh autistic killer forging
13:59
elite fitness ad was awesome they nailed
14:01
it the sound of the anvil at the
14:03
end lined up with the fist bumps it
14:05
was so sick and the sound of the
14:07
forge yep uh lito says the hammering
14:12
sounds like at the end like a chef's
14:14
kiss uh really cool goosebumps
14:23
Uh,
14:23
Jess says I've been doing CrossFit since
14:25
two thousand twelve and this is so fire.
14:30
I just want to get out of bed
14:31
in the morning and take care of my
14:32
kids.
14:33
CrossFit is the best way I have found
14:35
to do it.
14:36
Decent commercial.
14:40
Trish, not a dry seat in the house.
14:45
Jake,
14:45
I've been doing CrossFit since nineteen
14:47
seventy six and this fires me up.
14:49
Well, OK.
14:53
Might be a little over the top there.
15:03
Wearing my Forging Elite Fitness hoodie
15:05
today, ironically.
15:07
This is outstanding.
15:12
Trish wants the booty shorts back.
15:18
Train Olive, big fan, fired up.
15:26
and i've been waiting for this says ortega
15:29
i heard they were doing this ad and
15:31
i was so pumped yeah it's really really
15:33
good um so super pumped that they did
15:37
not lean into the elite athlete super
15:39
pumped that it's about the community and
15:41
the people in the community um i really
15:44
think they did a nice job with it
15:46
i'm so pumped
15:49
Trish,
15:50
really do want some Forging Elite Fitness
15:51
merch back.
15:52
It was at the games.
15:53
They've brought it back.
15:54
I believe it's out on their website still.
15:57
They brought back Forging Elite Fitness.
16:00
They brought back Routine is the Enemy.
16:02
And they brought back Pukie the Clown all
16:05
in merch at the games this year.
16:10
So, yeah, really pumped about this.
16:13
I think it's awesome.
16:18
And then...
16:22
just to show on their Instagram yesterday,
16:26
they put out some pictures and they were
16:28
some of the more elite athletes,
16:31
but the ones they have pinned to their
16:33
story or pinned to their homepage are all
16:37
the community athletes, um,
16:40
forging elite fitness right there.
16:42
So very, very cool.
16:50
Trish says, I missed it.
16:52
I was blinded by immediately buying the
16:54
pukey shirt.
16:55
Yeah.
17:02
A summer pump.
17:02
Scott is jazz.
17:03
They are not the same.
17:04
They're not.
17:06
I am jazzed.
17:10
So yeah, nice.
17:13
Um, nice marketing.
17:15
Jen is doing an outstanding job.
17:16
I think Corey said it last week on
17:18
our show.
17:19
Uh, she needs paid.
17:20
Uh, what she's doing is awesome.
17:24
And, uh, Jenna needs pay the girl.
17:27
Let's go.
17:31
Uh, so that I also wanted to, uh,
17:34
do a little bit more wrap up on
17:36
crash.
17:38
Um,
17:45
It wasn't long ago people were telling me
17:46
affiliates in CrossFit didn't need any of
17:48
this with normal folk and that the sport
17:51
was the way to go.
17:52
Interesting.
17:54
I don't ever think that the sport was
17:56
the way to go.
17:58
I think there's a way to use both.
18:03
But I think if the pendulum swings too
18:05
far to one side or the other,
18:08
I think you're at risk of losing people
18:11
on both sides.
18:17
So that's what they have to be careful
18:19
of.
18:24
Trish,
18:25
Jenna will get snagged away by another
18:27
brand for more money if they aren't
18:29
careful.
18:30
Turning a brand around that is owned by
18:34
private equity is a big deal.
18:36
She can point to the numbers.
18:39
And CrossFat says he agrees.
18:42
And I do too.
18:45
Yeah.
18:46
And the one thing you can see with
18:47
Jenna is if you follow her on Instagram,
18:50
she's living the life.
18:51
She's doing CrossFit.
18:57
She's doing it.
18:58
And when you see it means more when
19:01
you're creating this message
19:03
Because you're in it.
19:05
You're in it with everybody else.
19:07
And it helps you understand it.
19:09
And therefore,
19:10
that you can convey that message better to
19:13
the community because you're with them
19:15
every single day.
19:25
Uh, Jake, yes, totally agree.
19:27
And people have been telling me it would
19:28
be a waste of time.
19:30
I love this campaign.
19:32
I do too.
19:33
I do too.
19:34
And as I said last night on our
19:35
show, if I want fitness,
19:38
I want the best fitness I can get.
19:40
If I'm putting in the effort and the
19:42
time and I want to get the best
19:46
thing that is going to turn my fitness
19:48
around.
19:50
And I,
19:50
that means I want the elite fitness.
19:54
I don't want a second-rate Teemu fitness.
19:57
I want elite fitness.
19:59
And I love that they're sticking with
20:01
forging elite fitness.
20:03
I think that is what makes the most
20:05
sense.
20:06
I just didn't want it to be a
20:08
full lean-in to elite athletes.
20:11
I think you can sprinkle them in with
20:14
the people we saw in this ad campaign
20:17
because we can all get the same stimulus.
20:20
We can all get the big turnaround.
20:22
And I think with athletes like Dallin and
20:26
Justin diving back into the community and
20:29
doing community events that that is where
20:32
Jake, it can be worked together.
20:36
when you see it endorsed by the elite
20:38
athletes and they're a part of it,
20:41
then it's, it, it,
20:42
it rings louder than if it's just some
20:47
people at the affiliate,
20:48
but it has to be,
20:50
it has to be hand in hand walking
20:53
down and,
20:54
and not swinging the pendulum one way or
20:57
another too much.
21:04
Lita says,
21:04
I think the problem is what Carolyn
21:06
mentioned yesterday.
21:07
It's hard to convince people that CrossFit
21:09
is elite fitness.
21:10
If you don't tell them it's CrossFit,
21:12
they'll do it.
21:15
I do think it's a problem.
21:17
And I don't think it's that people think
21:19
they can't do CrossFit.
21:21
I think people don't want to do fitness.
21:24
I think they're looking for the easy way
21:26
out right now.
21:27
Every other ad is about, hey,
21:30
take this shot and it'll make you healthy.
21:32
which is a bold faced lie.
21:35
It doesn't make you healthy,
21:36
it makes you skinny.
21:37
Those are two different things.
21:40
That drug was developed for people who
21:42
have a specific issue to help them get
21:46
things working correctly.
21:48
It was not designed as a weight loss
21:50
drug.
21:51
And then people were diving into it and
21:54
they think that this is making them
21:55
healthy just because they're skinny.
21:58
Skinny is not healthy.
22:00
And maybe that's what we have to get
22:02
into and convince people.
22:15
You can't convince people CrossFit is
22:17
elite fitness if they don't believe
22:18
CrossFit's definition of fitness.
22:22
we said this last night,
22:23
Tristan on the show too.
22:25
Like when I,
22:25
when I started CrossFit in two thousand
22:27
eleven,
22:27
I lost two hundred and fifty plus pounds.
22:30
Everybody asked me how I did it.
22:32
And I said,
22:33
I did it through hard work and a
22:36
good diet.
22:37
And then people said, well,
22:38
that's not for me.
22:39
I would.
22:40
I'm waiting for the pill.
22:43
Those people,
22:43
you're never going to get into a gym
22:45
regardless.
22:49
It's just crazy.
22:55
autistic killer.
22:56
There is definitely a danger in leaning
22:57
too far to the elite side and isolating
22:59
people.
23:00
But this ad is redefining what it means
23:01
to be elite, not as ability,
23:03
but willingness.
23:05
It straddles the line perfectly.
23:06
I, I think you're right.
23:14
We are seeing HQ show people what CrossFit
23:17
actually is.
23:17
It's awesome.
23:18
I know.
23:27
Even though it's right,
23:29
if they don't believe it,
23:31
you can't convince them.
23:41
How many members at the gym know what
23:42
the sickness, wellness,
23:43
fitness continuum is?
23:45
I don't know, Jake,
23:46
but I'd say that I talk about that
23:49
continuum at least once a month.
24:04
train all of it's also a mindset just
24:06
when I think I'm super fit I watch
24:08
the elites and remember I am just mediocre
24:10
that makes me push harder well I hope
24:14
um I hope you don't think you're mediocre
24:22
because you're still probably in the upper
24:23
five percent of the world um but I
24:27
get I get the chip and why you
24:28
need the chip
24:33
Uh, Hiller,
24:34
it's a terrible Instagram post.
24:36
Uh,
24:36
I'd love for you to expand on that
24:38
and I'm sure you're going to at some
24:39
point.
24:41
Um, I like the campaign,
24:44
but I'm sure you have a reason why
24:47
it doesn't work as an Instagram post.
24:50
Um, one,
24:51
if you don't capture somebody in the first
24:52
five seconds, you've lost them.
24:54
So I'm thinking that's it.
24:56
And that glitchy thing at the beginning,
24:59
uh, is probably, uh,
25:01
Um, not capturing somebody right away.
25:04
It's kind of old.
25:06
Um,
25:08
cause that's why I started doing cold
25:10
opens on the show.
25:11
Um, having a theme song play first,
25:13
doesn't capture anybody,
25:15
but maybe two lines promoting my episode
25:19
will.
25:20
And so I'm trying to get better at
25:22
cutting out the fluff at the beginning of
25:25
all of my stuff.
25:28
So I think,
25:30
and then Lito says it's not in portrait
25:32
mode.
25:33
It's like the Hiller game show now.
25:36
Try to figure out why Hiller says what
25:38
he says.
25:48
I am not addressing anything, Frank.
25:52
Moose, not doing that.
25:57
And train all of them motivated by
25:59
self-deprecation.
26:02
Got to give yourself a break occasionally,
26:04
though.
26:09
Hiller fit always has been.
26:10
Nice.
26:13
That's a nice catchphrase.
26:20
So, yeah.
26:22
I like the sentiment.
26:25
Maybe a better...
26:27
uh, maybe a better post,
26:31
but I do like the sentiment of the
26:32
ad.
26:32
I'd like the footage in the ad.
26:36
Um,
26:37
I can't wait to hear what Hiller's going
26:39
to say about this.
26:41
So tune into his channel.
26:42
I'm sure he's going to have a reaction.
26:47
All right.
26:47
Last thing crash.
26:50
Uh,
26:53
A couple things I want to clear up
26:54
from.
26:56
Oh, look at the comments.
27:00
Man.
27:01
Crash may be tomorrow.
27:03
Whoops, wrong thing.
27:04
Sorry.
27:06
There we go.
27:19
And Hiller's comment in the ad is okay.
27:25
Now what?
27:35
So there you're saying, okay,
27:38
now you're motivated.
27:39
There is no action item during this post.
27:44
Now I see what you're saying.
27:50
What is the action item?
27:52
How do you get to a gym?
27:54
How do you sign up?
27:55
Where do you go?
28:01
Where's the affiliate map?
28:02
Where's, how do I get to an affiliate?
28:04
I, now I get to what you're saying.
28:11
So, all right, I gotcha.
28:22
Jake says, I guess Google got taken down.
28:26
They were having server issues at Amazon
28:28
today.
28:29
It's taken down a slew of sites.
28:33
Even at my work, we've lost some servers.
28:37
Some have come back.
28:39
We'll see what happens.
28:50
All right.
28:50
Last thing with crash real quick.
28:52
The one thing that I'm really stoked about
28:54
that Crash did and the broadcast team did
28:58
is they found a way to show multiple
29:01
athletes at the same time.
29:08
Um,
29:08
the picture and pictures done in the
29:10
corners was awesome.
29:12
The split screens were awesome.
29:14
For the first time,
29:16
a broadcast team has taken into account
29:18
that there may be a race that's not
29:21
just in the middle lanes.
29:23
And they gave us the opportunity to see
29:26
multiple athletes at the same time and
29:28
found creative ways of doing it.
29:30
And I want a huge,
29:33
huge shout out to them.
29:34
Um, and a huge kudos to, um,
29:38
to Sousa for coming up with some of
29:40
those.
29:41
What a freaking amazing piece of that
29:43
broadcast that I know Jamie and I have
29:45
been bitching about for years.
29:48
um that has been my biggest bitch at
29:52
most of these crossfit competitions is not
29:54
being able to see the race that they
29:56
get stuck on one lane but here they
29:58
found a way to show multiple athletes at
30:02
the same time and creative ways of doing
30:05
it and huge kudos go out because that
30:09
has been
30:10
that has been my biggest bitch for five
30:12
freaking years.
30:13
And they finally, finally, um,
30:16
finally figured it out.
30:18
And, um,
30:20
This is why I get pissed at like
30:24
Hamilton roads because they don't do
30:26
anything to change.
30:27
It's the same broadcast.
30:29
It was in two thousand twelve.
30:30
The same type of footage,
30:32
the same camera angles.
30:34
What Savon and his crew did yesterday came
30:37
up with new angles,
30:38
new ways of showing things.
30:39
It was a crystal clear picture.
30:41
Nope.
30:42
Depixelations.
30:43
It was awesome.
30:45
And they also featured more athletes by
30:47
doing after heat interviews,
30:49
sitting down with people.
30:50
It was really, really cool.
30:53
Lito says it's easier with five to six
30:55
people in a heat though.
30:57
It's not, if you're doing,
30:59
if you're doing picture and picture
31:01
things,
31:01
you just send the cameraman to the lanes
31:03
that are in the race.
31:06
That's it's simple.
31:07
It's simple.
31:12
So, um,
31:16
That is what I truly loved about the
31:18
broadcast this weekend is that has been a
31:20
major problem and they found a way to
31:23
fix it.
31:24
If they can do picture in picture,
31:26
then Hamilton Road should be able to do
31:28
picture in picture for what they're paid.
31:30
It's just getting a cameraman in different
31:32
lanes.
31:33
That's it.
31:34
Find out where the race is,
31:35
get the cameraman in those lanes and
31:38
follow those people so you can see all
31:40
of them at the same time.
31:42
That was awesome.
31:48
The other thing I loved about the weekend
31:50
was, Lito, I don't like heats of twenty.
31:55
That's just dumb.
31:57
But even in a heat of twenty,
31:59
if you know that these three or four
32:01
people are in the race,
32:02
that's where you get the cameraman to and
32:04
you split the screen so you can see
32:06
all of those people.
32:08
You don't have to have them side by
32:10
side anymore.
32:11
The way they did it is they did
32:13
it in picture in picture where you can
32:14
go to the different lanes and they show
32:16
up on different parts of the screen and
32:18
you can see the whole thing.
32:26
The other thing I loved is all of
32:27
the behind the scenes.
32:29
Whether it was Hiller,
32:29
whether it was Glinton Things,
32:31
whether it was the Savon podcast,
32:34
all of the different behind the scenes
32:36
helped me learn more about all of these
32:38
people that were there.
32:40
Um, it, it matters.
32:42
These are all people that are trying to
32:44
become elite.
32:45
And the more we know about them as
32:46
we get into the season,
32:47
especially me as trying to,
32:49
to analyze everything that's going on,
32:51
the more I know about them,
32:52
the better I feel about my analysis.
32:55
And I truly appreciated everybody's effort
32:57
to get different behind the scenes out at
33:00
different times this weekend.
33:01
And they were all really good.
33:03
Um,
33:05
And they were all done in different ways,
33:06
which was really cool.
33:08
Each person had their own flair,
33:10
and I loved it.
33:17
Behind the scenes is for a handful of
33:18
people.
33:19
Well, I'm one of those people, Trish,
33:20
so I truly enjoyed it.
33:30
Trish,
33:30
I don't really care what the creators are
33:31
doing.
33:33
I'm consuming the content they're doing,
33:35
so I do care.
33:36
I really thought it was cool.
33:47
Be nice, Jay Birch.
33:48
Be nice.
33:52
Train Olive, love the rivalry videos.
33:56
I liked it.
33:58
thought there were some unique takes there
33:59
we'll talk about it maybe more as the
34:01
week goes on um so but i i
34:07
thought a couple of them came up with
34:09
some unique ideas with that uh claire nice
34:18
to see you again i definitely get feedback
34:20
from attendees that they are just excited
34:23
to see the media personalities in action
34:29
Yeah.
34:31
So people hanging around the analyst table
34:33
a lot in the broadcast.
34:36
Uh, so yeah,
34:37
there were people attracted to that for
34:38
sure.
34:44
I'm sorry.
34:45
I have to cut this short today.
34:46
Cause I do have an appointment.
34:48
I've my last couple of tests this week
34:51
before my big test in November.
34:55
So I got to go get that stuff
34:56
done.
34:58
But I will be back tomorrow.
35:01
Probably two shows tomorrow.
35:03
We'll be doing the lunch show and then
35:05
we're going to do a dinner show with
35:08
Kelly Clark and,
35:10
Kelly Clark, former semifinal athlete,
35:12
Masters athlete,
35:14
but one of the newest red shirts.
35:16
And she is putting together a program to
35:19
make firemen healthy on the job so that
35:22
they can do the job to the best
35:24
of their ability.
35:25
We're going to talk about that in a
35:27
nice casual conversation tomorrow night on
35:30
the show.
35:31
So join me then either tomorrow at lunch
35:34
or tomorrow night at dinner.
35:36
We'll be doing both tomorrow.
35:38
Thank you so much for joining me.
35:39
I love you all.
35:40
It's been an awesome day.
35:42
We'll see each other.
35:43
We'll see you tomorrow.
35:45
Next time, lunch, Clydesdale,
35:47
all that stuff.
35:47
Bye.
35:47
Bye.
