what is going on everybody

welcome to lunch with the

clients tale it is it is

lunchtime uh I've had

meetings right up until

this point so I am kind of

with trained to live uh

here's hoping I can stay on

and work doesn't get in the way exactly

Work almost got in the way, um,

of me getting down here in

time to launch the show.

Uh, so, so glad I could be here.

Um, I really just hate when,

if you schedule an hour long meeting,

have an hour long meeting,

don't have an hour and a

half long meeting.

When you schedule an hour meeting,

people make plans.

I know that this show is not

part of my work day,

but I do have a lunch hour

that it is on my calendar.

that I have a lunch hour and

I'm allowed to come down

here and do my show on my time,

which is my lunch hour, people.

I hate it.

I hate meetings.

I hate meetings, period.

I know I've ranted about that a lot,

but damn it.

Gosh, just let me have my lunch.

Um, Craig says,

did you read the article

published by barbell spin

today by Jeanette Watkins

titled the research gap in CrossFit,

a call for data driven growth growth.

It's really good.

I did.

I just saw it pop up.

I have not,

I have not messed with or not

messed with reading the comments.

I have not had time to read it again.

I was in a meeting right up until this.

Uh,

so that'll be something I will read

this afternoon.

Uh, so can't wait to do that.

um because it did it looked

good um so I can't wait to

check that out uh don't

mess with the lunchtime you

got it trying to live gets

it yeah don't mess with my

lunchtime this is my time I

give you eight hours I get

one in the middle of the

day it's just for me

What's up, Sarah?

Good to have you here.

Jody Lynn, always spending time with us.

So cool.

so cool so uh third twenty

five point three is over

it's in the books if you

did not see some of the

stuff on uh the internet

today I am going to share

this uh real quick so

here's the leaderboard this

is the final leaderboard

for the thirty five to

thirty nine year olds

There's our very own Carolyn

Prevost won the open for

the thirty five to thirty nine year olds.

And look at the company she's in.

Kristen Holta,

Emily Rolfe and Carolyn crushed it.

Just like you said,

Sarah Clydesdale ladies

definitely crushed it.

Carolyn, if you notice right here,

three points, three points.

That means if you go across first, first,

first,

she won all three open workouts in

the thirty five to thirty nine.

so proud of her.

Um, she has,

she just had a great open this year.

And again, my gosh,

you look at some of the

names that she beat Andrea Nistler,

Caroline Klutz, Stevie Dellinger,

all great athletes.

Um, yeah.

Uh, Craig, Craig says, uh, sweep.

She's Canadian.

We call that a hat trick, hat trick.

Um,

Emily is thirty five.

Yes, Emily is thirty five.

She was the oldest woman in

the CrossFit Games field last year.

And not a lot of people know that.

Because she doesn't come

across as someone that is

that is thirty five.

She looks much younger than that.

But she got a late start into CrossFit.

If you go back and listen to

some of the old interviews

we did with her.

Yeah,

I don't think she started CrossFit

until she was like twenty eight.

So what she has done since

then has been mind blowing

to say the least.

So, yeah.

Um,

and then you guys are kind of spoiling

it in the chat.

Uh,

We go to the forty four to

forty forty to forty four

year old division.

And there is Jamie Latimer.

She won the forty forty to

forty four year old

division by a good chunk.

Twenty two to thirty eight.

You go across to hers a sixth, a fifteenth,

and she won the final workout.

which is amazing my two

co-hosts my two friends um

is freaking awesome and uh

they are freaking awesome

and I'm so privileged to

get to hang out with them

all the time I'm privileged

to call them friends um

I am just welling up with

pride that those are my

friends that killed it that hard.

Shout out to them.

Shay says,

Emily performing at arguably her best.

If you actually look at her finishes,

she gets better each year she competes,

which is

And for her to be like the

oldest person in the women's field,

finish better and better each year, it is,

yeah.

Yeah.

She is so underrated.

And I hope she gets her due

taking third last year.

So there.

Awesome job, Jamie.

Sarah says,

our very own Corey Leonard also

crushed it.

We'll talk about his

performance tomorrow when

he's on the show for sure.

Craig says,

did Rich place first in all the

workouts in his division?

He did not.

He did not even win.

I don't even think he fit.

He podiumed for the men.

If I go to men, men, men, men, men, men,

men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men,

men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men,

men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men,

men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men,

men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men,

men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men,

men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men,

men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men,

men, men, men, men

Rich Froning took sixth.

So Rich's finish were twentieth,

eighteenth, and twentieth.

Scott Pancheck was eleventh, eighth,

and ninth.

So there we go.

Yeah, kind of a bit of a surprise there.

um a train to live only nine

hundred twenty five spots

behind jamie let's go uh

there you go yeah craig

echoing emily is getting

better each year she is and

then ken says is jamie

selling teas again this

year I don't know um we

will know if she gets to

semis and makes the games

But if you, yeah,

we talked to her a couple

weeks ago on the Sunday night show,

but her son is a senior in high school,

and that is taking

precedence this year over competing,

which as a parent, I completely,

completely understand.

Her son will be graduating

high school and then moving

on to college in the fall.

So that stretch from like April,

May to August,

September is going to be

pretty busy for her.

And I even think there is a

chance that the weekend he

has to go to school is the

weekend of the CrossFit Games.

So she may not be able to

make it this year because

her priority is her son.

But stay tuned.

I'm sure we'll update you

guys as the season progresses.

And we know more

definitively when

everything kind of plays out.

So I wanted to take a quick

look at the elite division

before we move on.

If I go to individual men,

Colton Mertens ends up winning the Open.

I think if you saw Dave's

Week in Review yesterday,

he actually totaled up what

he won by winning two

events and winning the Open.

He ended up winning like

twenty seven thousand

dollars in the Open this year,

which is pretty impressive for Colton.

Andy won Kale Taylor on Saturday.

But donated that money to

the kids of the CrossFitter

who took his own life.

His name is escaping me right now.

But a sad story.

And yeah.

But he donated at fifteen hundred to them.

Adalyn Pepper takes second.

Jeff Adler takes third.

He apparently is still fit.

Austin Hatfield fourth.

Kale Lehman and Jason Hopper, Jay Crouch,

Ricky Garrard,

Aldis Upenix and Nicholas

Badon round out the top ten.

Yeah, Craig, his name was McCoy.

He took his own life.

He had two children and a

wife and they're doing

It's not GoFundMe.

It's the other account to

help support his kids from here on out.

And Colton donated the

fifteen hundred from Kill Taylor to that,

which is that's just the

kind of guy Colton is.

So pretty good top ten on the men's side,

if we flip over to the women.

Mira Von Rohr ends up

winning by one point over Fisa Goffey.

Lucy Campbell takes third.

Andrea Solbert takes fourth.

Our very own Carolyn Prevost.

Not only did she win the

thirty five to thirty nine,

but she took fifth place overall.

Top five in the world.

Overall, elite women.

which may be even a bigger

feat than winning the

thirty five to thirty nine

with a hat trick clean sweep.

Daniel Brandon, six, Kristen Holta,

seventh.

Again,

as a retired athlete coming in

seventh in the world is pretty amazing.

Aline Wurz took eighth.

Oda Lundevem took ninth.

Alexis Raptus finished in tenth.

That is your top ten on the women's side.

So I work out with some or I work out.

I have a show with some pretty fit women.

It's been fun.

I think Jamie finished top

one fifty in the world

overall as an elite woman

to at forty one years old.

I guess I can look real quick.

It's right around the one fifty mark.

The search on this leaderboard is awful.

Uh, uh, yeah, Jamie,

Jamie finished one in the world, um,

overall.

So, uh, that's pretty impressive.

Uh, and, uh, pulling off that there,

she is one.

It just looked like that

second workout is what got

her or she would have been way,

way higher on the leaderboard.

And we talked about that

last week about her cycle

rate on the thrusters just

seems to be her goat right now.

And that's what got her.

So,

but still an impressive finish in the

elite division to finish in

the top two hundred at one fifty three.

I know a lot of age group

athletes were just trying

to finish in the top two

hundred in their division,

but she did that overall

and won her division.

Man, what amazing,

amazing athletes I get to hang out with.

Amen.

Aaron CrossFit needs to

improve the leaderboard for sure.

Hells now, Bernice.

Awesome.

Cut it live.

Perfect timing while I wait

at a dealership to get my

summer tires on.

Thank goodness I don't live

in a place anymore where I

have to get summer and winter tires.

That was always a pain in

the butt when I lived in

the mountains in

Pennsylvania because we

would have studded tires in

the winter and then we had

to get those off by a

certain date because they

destroy the road and then for the summer.

So, yeah.

Joey says, wait,

what's wrong with the leaderboard?

What's wrong with the leaderboard?

I'm sure there are some

scores that are outlandish

and that's maybe what

they're talking about,

but the search ability on

this thing is pathetic.

Uh,

to try to find someone on the leaderboard,

you almost have to type the

complete name out before

they'll pop up as an option.

Um, so I don't know who developed it,

but it is not easy to

search around for certain

people to see where they finished.

So I wanted to take a brief

moment to kind of talk

about my open experience.

So I did not do the open last year.

I was in the hospital with

AFib right before the open

started last year.

So I had to sit out for the

first time since two thousand twelve.

I've done every open from

twenty thirteen to twenty twenty three.

And then I sat out last year

and was able to jump back in this year.

And I was nervous.

I was nervous about doing it again.

The last couple of years,

just due to health issues,

I've been doing some

foundations workouts in the open.

I've been doing a lot of scaled.

And so I was really nervous.

But this was my first year

in the fifty five to fifty

nine year old division.

So the workouts change a

little bit for us this year.

And I was able to do two of

the three workouts RX.

I actually was I could have

done all three RX and got

and posted a score.

But I really wanted to

compete against myself on

the repeat workout from

what I posted in twenty twenty two.

So I did it in a scaled way

and tried to beat my score.

The highest I've ever

finished in my division

during the Open since I had

back surgery was a twelfth percentile.

And that ended up being a

level one status in the

twelfth percentile.

This year, after workout two,

I was sitting at the

sixteenth percentile.

Um,

so I felt a little bit more pressure on

this last workout to really

put forth a good effort and

to at least keep the

sixteenth percentile to

keep improving and maybe even improve.

Uh, so I went into this workout.

I had a plan.

I actually did better than my plan.

Um,

I got a full round further than I

thought I would.

I almost made it back to the row, uh,

as an RX athlete in the

fifty five to fifty nine.

And I ended up with two wall

walks right before that final row.

Turns out,

I actually improved by four

more percent and I finished

the open in the twentieth percentile.

Um,

so I beat my previous best post back

surgery by eight percentage points.

Um,

that is the biggest win I have had

athletically, um,

doing this sport CrossFit, um,

since probably two thousand eighteen.

Uh,

I have been pretty broken, um, since then.

And I felt broken.

And this is the first open

where I feel like,

like I'm starting to come

back and starting to feel

like an athlete again.

Um,

I, it means a lot to me.

It's a huge win for me.

Um, I was telling,

I texted with Carolyn and

Jamie last night, um,

telling them like my

feelings of tearing up a little bit.

Um, cause when you feel broken,

like you just feel helpless.

And the fact that like this year, um,

since I had was in the

hospital with a fib right

before last year's open, um,

I pretty much quit drinking.

I've only had like two or

three drinks in the year plus since then.

I have really focused on my

own health and my wife's health.

I've not been doing crazy hard workouts,

but just trying to move and

trying to get better and really just...

not hurting myself so that I

can't go back the next day,

like being smart about everything.

Um, and, uh, really,

really focus on being smart

about every workout.

So the next day I can be

back in the gym doing at least something.

So, um, that has made me super happy and,

um, really excited.

Now,

what I did find out is to get to level

three,

you have to have a twenty two percent.

So I'm so close to level three.

But now I've got goals, right?

So next year,

the goal is to move from

twenty percent level two up

into at least twenty two

percent to get that level

three and keep moving up

that that ladder.

And to me,

like it all kind of sunk in last

night that this is what the

Community Cup is about, right?

Because now it makes it, for me,

an easy goal of moving up

in those divisions through

the Community Cup.

Because honestly,

I'm super stoked that I

improved this much,

but I hate the fact that

I'm in the group called

rookies when I've been

doing CrossFit since two thousand eleven.

I am just a couple hair

percentage points away from level three,

moving up to the next level

or the next competition in the CUNY Cup.

But right now I'm sitting

just at that underneath threshold,

two percentage points away.

And I'm ready to move past it,

but it gives me goals for

next year and much more

easy goals to understand

than just a wide ass

leaderboard with a bunch of

people and trying to look

at numbers on that.

This one,

this actually gives me like something.

to shoot for that's

realistic and easy to understand.

And I hope that the

Community Cup takes shape

and people start to

understand that as a community.

And I think it can do a lot

to help grow the community

once they start to

understand all of this.

And I don't know if you guys are with me.

I hope you guys all jump

into the Community Cup that

did the Open because I

think it's something that

the community at large

needs to be a part of and

needs to understand and see

those small goals to get

them to the big goal.

Um, so Aaron, where do I see my level?

That's hard.

So I had to go back to,

to CrossFit's announcement

of the community cup.

Uh,

it's around when Dave announced like that,

there'll be these five divisions, um,

with rookie elite.

I can't even remember what they all are.

had to go back to look at

that and in there there's a

chart that says like

percentage points x to x is

level one x to x is two x

to x is three and so on and

so forth so I had to like

do a cross match

between what my percentage

point was from the app.

And if you have the app and

you just open it up,

it tells you what your percentile is.

And you can see it worldwide, U.S.,

North... I have... Not North.

North America East.

It even has my gym percentage.

So...

That's where you get the percentage.

Then you have to go back to

the chart that CrossFit released.

And I think you can Google

community cup divisions and

the article will pop up.

And then you can look at the

chart and see where you fit in that.

Hopefully,

if they're going to dive in and

finally use these levels,

it'd be nice if that popped

up on the app with your percentile.

but right now, uh, the,

the only way I could do it was, uh,

to do the cross match.

So I hope that helps.

Um, but, uh,

any other big stories from the

open from you guys love to

hear anything that you guys had or any,

any goals you reached,

any success stories you've had.

Um, I think that, um,

we need to share those

because they're just awesome.

Um,

and can't wait for the community cup to

come and, uh, put it out there and see,

see how I do against the

people in my division.

So with that,

the last thing I have on my rundown,

which I don't even really have a rundown,

um, is that

I did create a Clydesdale

media bracket competition

bracket league on ESPN's fantasy home.

If you want to join the

Clydesdale media group,

I put the link in the

description of this on

YouTube and I will put it

also on the audio format of

this and you can click on

that link and the password

to get into our group is just Scott.

capital S-C-O-T-T.

And then

And there's a men's bracket

and a women's bracket.

I will take the points you

earn from both brackets,

add them together,

and then I will put

together a prize pack for

the winner of our bracket

challenge that we do here.

But I just thought it'd be

something fun to do as a

little community that we

have here and we can see

how each other's doing, talk some smack.

All of that,

and it makes it a little bit

fun to watch some of the

games this weekend coming up,

but it's out there on ESPN.com.

Again,

the links are in the description of

this YouTube video.

And I set it up on my work

computer or I would have

cut and paste it into the comments,

but I tried to do that before.

And I actually had another

fantasy account on my personal computer.

And so now it's all jacked up.

I have to figure out how to

merge that somehow.

But anyway,

check that out in the description below.

Hit the link.

Again,

it'll take you to the Clydesdale

media league,

and then you just type in

the password Scott for both

the men and the women, um,

fill out those brackets.

I will take the composite

score of the two events,

and then I will put

together a prize pack for the winner.

Um, yeah.

And I think I'm going to try

to put together something

pretty fun and something

unique that you wouldn't be

able to get anywhere else.

So, uh,

do that we'll have some fun

we'll talk some smack uh

we'll see which one of us

uh can pick the basketball

games the best that should

be fun uh Ken says I'll DM

you my address just send me

the prize pack now I will

there's a reason they play the games

I can put this down.

I did RX workout with thirty

inch box jumps last night.

So far this morning,

I've reserved and canceled

for today's workout twice.

Yeah, that's I think that's what I was.

I was going through a lot

before this past year was I

was trying to do as close

to RX as possible every single day.

And at fifty five,

my body just can't do that anymore.

So I

I just decided that if I

felt good that day, I would do something.

I would try to go for

something more intense.

If I wasn't feeling it that day,

I just would back way off and just move,

do some kind of workout

that hits the same stimulus,

scale it back enough just

so I could go every single day.

And it was a long time for

me to check that ego.

I will tell you,

I've been fighting that

since two thousand.

So I first injured my back

in twenty sixteen.

Since then,

I've been fighting my ego with it.

So what?

Almost ten years.

And then finally, in this last year,

I learned that I just can't

do that anymore.

If I want to keep going,

if I want to be healthy the

rest of my life,

I need to listen to my body.

Train to live.

I love this year's Open.

Sad there's no quarterfinals this year,

but excited for the Community Cup.

Yeah.

I think we just have to shift.

And now you could win your

bracket area of division or

whatever that is.

And just see how you stand

up against people kind of

in the same place you are right now.

And Aaron backs me up.

Ken, just show up.

Even if you scale it,

it'll help flush your muscles.

Yeah.

What's nice about Polaris is

if I felt really bad and

they would let me just hop

on a C two bike and just flush out,

flush everything out.

Like if I felt so bad I

couldn't do any part of the workout,

they'd let me sit on a

machine or hit one of the

air runners and just kind

of flush it all out.

But I think that that's the

best case scenario.

Just keep showing up, man,

and figure out where you're

going to put the workout

that day so that you can

keep going forward.

Holly knows nothing about basketball,

but let's go.

Yeah, I'll be honest.

I've watched more of the

women's tournament,

more of the women's games

this year than the men's.

They just show up on my TV a

lot more now on my local antenna.

I don't think I've watched a

men's game at all this year.

Um,

what I've done for the past couple of

days is just kind of watch

the experts talk about it

and hope from what they're

saying that I could put

together some assembly of a bracket.

So you all will probably

whoop me this year.

Uh, Greg says community cup is better.

Well, community cup just allows everybody.

I could never make

quarterfinals in the

twentieth percentile.

I can make the community cup

and I can go against people

that are at the same level

I am and I can see where I stack up.

So, yeah, I in some aspects,

I think it is really good.

I think if you are someone

striving to be successful.

upper tier or elite the

quarterfinals was a way for

you to judge where you are

and a big goal to have to

make that so I can see the

argument in both senses but

I think this actually

allows more of us to have

the opportunity to have a

next phase and to see where

we are and to compete again

during the year

And it's funny because, you know,

there's competition now for

CrossFit and they're basing

a lot of what they're doing

on keeping the community

more involved throughout a

longer part of the year.

And that's what the

Community Cup is doing.

So it actually, you know,

I heard Saxon on the thing,

the interview the other day,

say that they wanted to do

like monthly competitions

with the WFP and their affiliates.

well CrossFit put the

community cup in before

this and it's kind of

mirroring that only over

four quarters instead of two.

Um, so I don't know.

I think like,

I think the competition is

going to be good for

CrossFit to keep coming up

with ideas like this,

to keep us all involved for

longer parts of the year.

Um, but we'll see,

we'll see how it all plays out.

Um,

I just hope if they're going to do it,

it's tough because they put

out these really good ideas.

They're doing much better media.

They're doing all this stuff.

And then, okay, we're up for sale.

Or if you believe what I

believe they've been up for sale and, uh,

And they're close to a deal.

What are the new owners

going to do with all these

ideas that have been coming

out and doing things better this year?

A lot of the things we've

asked for CrossFit is implementing.

I hope we don't lose that

momentum through the sale.

And I know we haven't talked

a lot about the sale.

Um, we,

we got out over our skis the other

night on the Sunday night

show with a lot of other topics.

Uh,

but hopefully we'll be able to hit the

sale in the upcoming weeks

and we'll know more about

the sale and be able to

talk about it a little bit better.

Um, but that, that is one of my concerns.

Uh,

that it's one of my big

concerns that there is a

momentum going in the right

direction from CrossFit,

and I don't want that

momentum to stop because of the sale.

But I do believe they need to sell.

I don't think Berkshire is

invested in this long-term,

and just because we have a

short run of good ideas

doesn't mean Berkshire will

allow those ideas to continue.

I'm just hoping the new owners will.

Sarah to completely agree.

The CrossFit produced BTS

from twenty five.

Three was so good.

So good.

I think it captured.

I think it captured Dallin

and Jason and James so well

and the way that they love

on each other and that they

beat they trash on each other.

Yeah.

And that they're just like

three dudes hanging out.

And then for me,

the highlight of it was

Grace Ann finding Dave's

clue in the real world and

pointing it out to Jason.

And then Dave admitting that

that is how he found the clue.

And that he had to run from

the shower naked to get his

phone to take a picture of

it or film it for the clue on Instagram.

I thought that was...

Because we've never really

got a behind the scenes of

the Dave Castro clue.

And so that was like a

little bonus in this twenty

three point three behind the scenes.

I think the only miss on that was.

They had done all the other

stuff up until the cool

down show when James and

his dad talked about.

CrossFit saving their lives,

I thought that should have

been a key component at the

very end of that video.

It would have been the

perfect ending to what they

had put together.

And they didn't add it to

that behind the scenes.

If they would have added

that to the behind the scenes,

that it would have been flawless.

Flawless.

Flawless.

Everything else was great.

And it doesn't mean that it

wasn't great anyway.

But man,

they could have gone just like

that one tick higher if

they would have put that

piece in about CrossFit

saving James's dad's life

from alcoholism.

That would have been a huge component.

But other than that,

that's just me wanting more.

And I guess their media is

getting to a place where it's so good,

I want more.

And that is a good thing.

It's funny because...

I'm being trolled a lot

these days whenever I say

anything about the WFP, and that's fine.

People can say whatever they want to me.

They can do that.

But what is funny to me is

that when I critique media,

I'm a viewer just like anybody else.

It's not like Siskel and

Ebert ever made a movie and

had to be an expert in

making movies to then

critique the movie they're watching.

I've watched so much

CrossFit videos and so many

CrossFit videos and so much

media that I think I am

capable of saying whether I

like something or I don't.

That behind the scenes was two thumbs up,

five stars, whatever you want to say.

It was so good.

And when I give it a little criticism,

it doesn't mean I didn't

like it because I loved it.

It just means I just wanted

that little step more.

When I say that the WFP's

video of the Beyond the

Athlete was nothing groundbreaking,

it was entertaining, it was short,

but it didn't give me

anything more than what

I've seen in other videos.

And I may have learned a little bit,

but not a ton more about the athletes.

So,

I've watched so many of these things,

so many of the behind the scenes,

so many of the road to the games,

so many of the documentaries.

Um, I think I,

I can say whether I liked or

didn't like something and why,

and I know I have this one

troll and it's just one troll.

Most of you are lovely and you,

you are awesome.

And I love hanging out with

you all the time.

Um,

Sarah said she didn't watch the one,

but she got to see the Jeff

Adler one before it was taken down.

It was meh.

No one missed anything.

Yeah.

I wish I would.

I just wish I could have

seen it to be able to say

whether it was good or not.

and my thing with anything

buttery bros is it all of, and I, man,

I was the biggest buttery

bros fan in the world back in the day,

but their stuff is kind of

down the same vein.

Um,

now they know the formula that works

for them and they,

they do it as good as

anybody and they just keep doing it.

Um, uh, Jose, yes, it is still down.

Uh,

butter bros have done one on him before.

I think it was the exact same.

It probably didn't have as

much games footage in it.

And that's why it was taken down.

I've said this on the last

couple of shows.

Um,

when we sign a media agreement with the

CrossFit games, we have, um, uh,

We have strict regulations

about how much of the

footage that we take at the

games can be used in a

single project and how long

each clip can be.

And I'm only guessing here,

but because of that thing

that I've signed and that

it got taken down for copyright,

that has to be in my opinion

why it was taken down from

everybody I've talked to

that got to see it there

was a ton of games footage

in um that jeff adler piece

and uh so um so I think

that's why I was taken down

And again,

the Buttery Bros are so good at

what they do.

I'm not taking anything away from them.

But as someone who has watched them since.

Twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen.

It just is the kind of the

same note every year now

when they do the documentaries.

Sarah, yeah, that's what I'm saying.

That is a copyright

infringement because you

signed an agreement from

CrossFit that you would not

use any of the images or

the broadcast or anything

like that for any purpose other than

whatever.

And then you have very strict,

what you could only use

like three minutes of footage in a,

in a big project.

And you can only do thirty

second clips of any one, um, event.

Um, it is very, very, uh, strict.

Um, Jose says,

that's why I tried to do my best, uh,

BTS for Emily Rall for the fans.

Yeah.

yeah we like all the bts

stuff that we do uh across

the space is for the fans

um petra clark keeps in

here we get to talk to

these guys all the time and

I I don't mean to say it that way

We have access to them and

we talk to them a lot,

but the fans don't.

And that's what behind the

scenes is trying to do.

You're trying to show more

of what is available about these athletes,

more about where they came from,

more about why they do what they do.

To me, I view myself as a storyteller.

I just want to tell everybody's story.

That's why I do it.

I love to hear the stories

of what made them who they are,

where they came from, what they overcame.

That's the stuff I find the most rewarding,

either doing content or watching content.

And just like Jose, I'm a fan myself.

I really am.

so with that my lunch hour

is just about up so get

back to work you hooligans

we'll see you next time on

lunch with the clydesdale
