Let's do it.

we cover it all.

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