The IPF is coming to CBS?

We didn’t have this announcement on our radar:
“The IPF and CBS Sports (broadcaster of the Super Bowl 2024) have signed a multi-year agreement to bring IPF powerlifting to the TV in the USA and the whole of North America.” (Full release here:...
We didn’t have this announcement on our radar:
“The IPF and CBS Sports (broadcaster of the Super Bowl 2024) have signed a multi-year agreement to bring IPF powerlifting to the TV in the USA and the whole of North America.” (Full release here: https://www.powerlifting.sport/about-ipf/news/news-detail/ipf-secures-tv-broadcast-partnership-for-north-america).
For tested lifters in the US, does this change the calculus of choosing the IPF-affiliated Powerlifting America versus the larger and more familiar USAPL? And will anyone outside of powerlifting fandom be interested in watching a full meet -- or even a collection of highlights – on broadcast TV? We’ll find out later this year with coverage of a bench-only competition in Austin, Texas.
As a warmup, we discussed entry-level doughnuts and fast-food restaurants.

1
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:15.240
Of chains. So all foods,
all all food categories types have a base
2
00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:20.679
level chain, right, Starbucks is
based level coffee, McDonald's based level burger,
3
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:24.399
Krispy Kremes is based level donut,
etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. We
4
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:29.000
can go on forever. Dairy Queen
could probably be the base level ice cream.
5
00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:33.719
I think Krispy Kremes might be one
of the best. I don't like
6
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:37.359
them. You gotta think of the
base level and then compared to a good
7
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:41.520
level. True. I feel like
base level donut is what you can buy
8
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:45.640
at at the store, the gas
station. Why wouldn't Krispy Kreme be the
9
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:52.240
same? Though they're everywhere, they're
drive through. Based on the concept that
10
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:56.399
Starbucks is a base level, well
I don't. They're not everywhere anymore.
11
00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:00.079
They are on the downturn. That
for the sake of the argue. But
12
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.079
for the sake of argument, I
am arguing, I'm not. I'm not
13
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:07.480
doing a data analysis. I'm not
doing a data analysis. You could say
14
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:11.359
Dunkin Donuts. I've never had a
Dunkin donut though, yeah, because it's
15
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:15.599
more East Coast. But yeah,
I think it's bad. It's bad bad.
16
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:21.719
But you're you're He said it like
it's good though. That's why I
17
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:26.840
threw you off. It was like, I guess, yeah, that's it
18
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:34.879
based level of fucking Mexican right,
Like is it Taco Bella you talk about
19
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.040
Yeah, you can say talk about
just fine. You can take Chaco about
20
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:42.120
just fine. I'll take that argument, okay, right, low base?
21
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:47.719
Can we be like no, that's
the whole idea is that it's mass produced,
22
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:51.359
easily accessible, making it the base
level of his fucking argument. I'll
23
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:56.920
bring out excels next time. Point
being I think that if you take Marie,
24
00:01:56.920 --> 00:01:59.319
which is a local spot here and
I think one of the best donuts
25
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:02.640
ever, and you compared to a
Chrispy Kreme versus like like Starbucks coffee is
26
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:07.760
actually kind of gross. McDonald's burger, if you've heard of, like a
27
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:10.520
burger is actually kind of gross.
It didn't taste like meat. The cheese
28
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:16.080
is fucking little plastic. We're like
a Krispy Kreme cream Field donut Ain't that
29
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:23.120
bad. I've never had a cream
Field donut. I've had Krispy creamlazed Krispy
30
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:24.879
Kreme. It's not called Krispy glazed. No, I think you have had
31
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:30.400
a cream Field donut, just not
in the same way that you think because
32
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:37.360
we've had the donuts in here that
yeah, he means krispy Kreme, krispy
33
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:39.919
Kreme, Yeah, but you're saying
you haven't had a Krispy Kreme or you
34
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:46.479
haven't Krispy Kree cream Yeah, Krispy
Kremes cream cream fields cream Yeah, krispyre
35
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:51.360
Cream cream field, krispy Kreme prean
all right, going on to our list,
36
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:53.080
same cream. Today's the leap Ear

38
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:05.840

good because that's a real that's like a
39
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:07.199
real restaurant compared to all these No, I know, but it was like
40
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.400
the bj is common. Don't come

Milk Bar, Milk Bar serious, you
42
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:17.319
don't know milk Bar. It's a
New York chain, but they moved out.
43
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:21.759
They have them in stores now like
in Pints. It's an ice cream
44
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:25.199
dessert spot. They made a crack
pie. The crack Pie they invented it.
45
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:31.199
I believe it's pretty good. What's
next. I'm afraid to google that
46
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:38.080
cracked right up. Crack pipe.
That's what I'm afraid crack pipe. What's
47
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:39.840

49
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:49.560
nine cents. Everything's twenty nine,
right, everything's to twenty nine. I'll
50
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:53.800
save my quarter, Bro. I
feel like, was your Chrispy Creme warm?
51
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:57.719
Nah? Nah? See, okay, Krispy Kreme is really not that
52
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.719
bad. It's too sweet for me. It was a little sweet. The
53
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:03.960
glaze is a little sweet. It
was a little sweet. We're eating donuts.
54
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:06.759
No, man, this ice cream
is good. It's a little cold.
55
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:10.240
It's a little cold. It's a
little bit cold. There's such a
56
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:14.319
thing as freezer burn. Well,
I mean also, i think I'm leaving,
57
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:16.720
Bro. I think this show.
If something is too cold, sometimes
58
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:26.240
you like you can't really taste ith
this is now, Well you can't.
59
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:29.839
You can go get your pastries that
you enjoy, like a concha or something
60
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:32.800
that's less sweet. But if you're
getting a fucking donut from a drive through,
61
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:38.720
expect sugar. But that doesn't mean
I'm not gonna judge it and be
62
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:45.000
like it's a it's a I don't
know man, And you guys didn't say
63
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:48.600
about insomnia and Somnie is a very
mid No I did. I said it's
64
00:04:48.600 --> 00:05:00.160
a very better missus Fields better than
Field is bang better than insomnia. Like
65
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:04.600
chum Rumble. Yeah, that's why
they're mega viral and probably a billion dollar
66
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:12.639
company now because they're trash booty cheeks. It's too sweet. I hate my
67
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:15.399
chocolate with sugar, have you,
Hey, dude, a Chrumble cookie is
68
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:19.920
diabetes in a bike. Yeah,
it's a cookie. What do you I
69
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:24.920
understand if you don't like sweets,
but you can't just say like every cookie's
70
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:29.040
got a bunch of sugar like that
not homemade? Yeah, we made too.
71
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:31.240
Depends depends on you. Oh yeah, if you make it, if
72
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:34.839
you're making sour though bread. But
if it's a cookie, I know,
73
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:40.759
a cookie supposed to sweet the ratio
and then there's like fucking die sweet sweet.
74
00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:42.759
Well, yeah, depending on the
flavor, because they put a bunch
75
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:45.000
of toppings and ship. For sure, it's going to be sweeter than your
76
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:48.439
average chocolate chip cookie, be regular
chocolate chip. I think it's really good.
77
00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:53.839
I think it's good. We agree
to disagree. Ginger Elizabeth chocolate chip
78
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:57.680
cookie. That's the next one,
Ginger Elizabeth chocolate chip cook And it's all
79
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:00.800
right, it's pretty good. It
is good. It is good. No,
80
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:03.199
it's good, it's good. It's
really it's actually just like not but
81
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:06.240
it's not like overwhelming. What's a
good chocolate chip cookie. I'm trying to
82
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:10.959
think off the top of my head. I think low Key, low uh
83
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:14.680
chain, Laboo, No, don't
got to be chained, Ginger Elizabeth isn't
84
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:16.839
chain. Our listeners don't even know, is it really not? No,
85
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:19.800
that's a chocolate place in Sack.
There's only two, maybe because I think
86
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:24.480
there's one a pastry and one's a
chocolate. Yeah. I think Laboo,
87
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:27.759
which I think is local chain.
Also, and Ginger Elizabeth low Key is
88
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:30.319
the best Chuck. Yeah, it's
not. It's not like their main gig.
89
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:33.360
I haven't in years. It's so
good, it's so good. I
90
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:41.319
can tell you that their their chocolate
croissant is is like high mid tier.
91
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:44.680
I don't know if in the world. Yeah, yeah, oh so that's
92
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:46.800
pretty good. That yeah, well, because yeah, they're they're Vietnamese and
93
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:50.800
second Vietnamese and it's together pretty well
and it's like a salad shop, you
94
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:58.240
know, Laboo, it's like a
coffee coffee snack, sandwiche croissants. Yeah,
95
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:01.000
I don't that many actually, well
there aren't as many used to be.
96
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:04.160
They only had like the super in
the sandwich. Yeah, that's kind
97
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:08.000
of what their gig is. That
like the gig, didn't they have it?
98
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:10.959
It's coffee, But didn't they have
a thing with like their lemonade or
99
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:14.560
something having way too much caffeine recently
Laboo, Yeah, I think they have
100
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:17.879
like a retro lemonade or something and
like or they like someone had like three
101
00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:21.079
people four people have had heart attacks
because it has like two fifty megs or
102
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:28.959
like yeah, Boo's so small.
I get them two mixed up. Yeah,
103
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:30.839
they are similar vibe. Yeah,
yeaheah, they're similar vibe. But
104
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:34.439
labooz I think just sack is it
really? Yeah? I don't even think
105
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:38.560
it's snork out. I don't even
know if it's. There's a few like
106
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:42.560
around. There's like the one that
blew my mind that I only learned yesterday,
107
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:45.920
not really but recently was a gym
boys. I never knew that was
108
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:50.199
sack only it's so serious. If
you went the greasiest pseudo Mexican food,
109
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:56.319
Yeah, definitely there. I think
that's that's like, no, it's all
110
00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:58.160
right. I like I think it's
like, I think it's like cool for
111
00:07:58.199 --> 00:07:59.920
the bank bank for book, I
think, yeah, I mean I'll eat
112
00:07:59.920 --> 00:08:03.279
a once a year. I've even
Yeah, I didn't know that, Bro.
113
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:05.639
What this Jeremiah's thing looks good.
I don't think we have it though,
114
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:09.600
Called Jeremiah's Italian ice that sounds smack. Yeah, it looks Italian ice
115
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.680
slept on. But this one's got
like whipped cream all over it and ship
116
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:16.759
or vn an ice cream soft served. BJ's really good. That's a deal
117
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.800
man two twenty nine for azok,
don't you feel like the cookie and the
118
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:24.879
pazuki is often a little overdone?
Though? Yeah, that's why Chicago Fires
119
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:26.800
is the best. Okay, they
like mine's always a little under at.
120
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:31.440
I think Chicago Fire is the best
perzuki deal, But Chicago, I think,
121
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:35.279
mean you talk about bro Chicago Fire, Yeah, I love it.
122
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:39.720
Yeah, but it's but they're the
famous one, right, Like, I
123
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:46.240
don't know another chain chain that has
pazookies. Who came up with that name?
124
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:50.840
Yeah. I think they call it
pizza cookie at uh Chicago Fire Probably
125
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:52.919
yeah, probably. So BJ's is
just the one going with milk bar,
126
00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:56.759
is good? Bro? I just
read the ingredients of the crack pie and
127
00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:01.039
I don't know, there's no crack
in it apparent, so that's yeah,
128
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:03.120
that's good. I got a problem
with that coming from New York. Hell
129
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:09.440
of a branding move. But they're
yeah, they're pints and stuff or kind
130
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:11.639
of whatever. But I've had it
there and they have like a Blizzard style
131
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:16.000
thing and they throw the crack pie
in there. Crazy good blizzard slap.
132
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:22.279
Yeah, I wish that was This
is only a leap your sales I got.
133
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:26.000
But the Wendy's is a brand new
item and it's basically like what is
134
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:28.279
called monkey bread. Oh the pull
apart. Yeah, it's like a pull
135
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:33.879
aparts. Send them bread from Wendy's. No purchase required in store before what
136
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:39.559
They want you to get in there
before ten thirty am before the open,
137
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:45.559
Bro, Who Wendy's for? What
for? Free? Pull apart? I
138
00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:48.159
mean, it's probably good, but
I'm not going to Wendy's at fucking nine
139
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:50.960
o'clock in the morning. Nine o'clock
in the morning, for monkey bread is
140
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:54.759
wild? I mean with a coffee
or something. Yeah, probably bang,
141
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:58.559
I just don't think about it.
Do something wrong with your headphones? Brouh?
142
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:01.440
Yeah, what's something wrong with you? What are you doing? You
143
00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:07.519
just trip? You got a bookie? You actually like you just got shot.
144
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:09.759
It's just a booger? Come back? Who shot you? We're in
145
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.440
the middle of a live show.
I've never had this. Are you embarrassed
146
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.519
to your boogers? Did you get
made fun of your bookers? Yeah?
147
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:20.519
You got a T shirt? Just
your what do you what are your book
148
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:22.039
would you just you just put that
on? You just put on a box
149
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:26.159
just anywhere? Yeah, well the
garbage can is on the other shoe.
150
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:28.360
I've never seen you have such a
panic. Well, because like it's like,
151
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:31.519
you know, you feel like a
running nose coming down. Yeah,
152
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:33.679
I don't freak out like that to
sea, like it's not a poop coming
153
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:35.679
out of your butt. I don't
know. I was just being sure that
154
00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:39.519
you know, I don't want in
case your future wife's watching, she you
155
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:43.960
don't want to know you likes because
you're human with boogers, like every other
156
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:48.440
human with boogers. There wasn't a
booger it was. It was the like
157
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:58.919
not in a booger. Yeah,
sure, slightly liquid ear and dried right.
158
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:01.519
Yeah, but like it was like
sliding down. I know. But
159
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:05.000
it's just how quickly you got up. That's just how fast my reaction.
160
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:07.960
No, because you've never done that
with anything else your pants. Yeah,
161
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:11.279
I thought crazy a nose bleed.
I would react that way to a nose
162
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:15.720
bleed, bleed like blood like stains, but all the same to me coming
163
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:18.159
out my nose, I'm moving quick. That sounds like a hypochondriacting. It's
164
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:22.799
a little bit of snot is the
same as your nose gushing blood sometimes I
165
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:26.759
can't tell, you know, it
feels similar. Sounds like let's just get
166
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:28.720
it done real quick. No,
No, you're just lying now. You're
167
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:31.519
just racking because of the camera.
What's crazier is your reaction rather than just
168
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:33.799
letting a little bit of SnO,
come down, moving on. Look,
169
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:35.879
man, you got a little speed
bump mustache in there. I would have
170
00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:39.399
caught it. You're not gonna eat
it speed bump mustache. Yeah, those
171
00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:43.679
little little hairs coming shame, I
know. And you're so manly it's already
172
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:48.320
grown back. No, manly,
it just loo bro me the mustache and
173
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:50.320
her thing is like Master Shefo,
just with black hair. How do you
174
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:54.399
know the Master's shef? Who is
is that kung Fu panda? Yeah?
175
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:58.279
I was like we were just talking
about kung Fu panda? What is he?
176
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:01.039
He's not a rat? Oh?
What is Master? Some kind of
177
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:05.720
madagascarian? Yeah? Baby? Or
the bush? What are those bush?
178
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:11.919
Google hit slamer or something with the
big old eyes. I do have real
179
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:16.080
news today, dude. These pull
aparts are all over my ship because I
180
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:18.519
sent it to you. Guys.
My entire discovery page is Wendy's pull apart
181
00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:24.240
cinnamon rolls. What's the real news? This can't be it's a red panda
182
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:28.279
panda. Oh, they don't make
them that cute voiced by Dustin Hoffmann because
183
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.919
because he's just old as funk.
So they're like, we gotta make him
184
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:35.039
like a little bust because this dude's
oldest ship. I would have never Oh
185
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:35.919
the tail kind of gives it away. Yeah, once you kind of see
186
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:39.039
him side by side. Oh,
that's a red panda, just like the
187
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:41.480
oldest fun in my head. Yeah, he's some kind of bush lemur or
188
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:43.879
what's a bush? Not a bush
monkey, but a bush something with the
189
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:52.440
big old eyes. Oh yeah,
all right, another weird snack of the
190
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:54.639
day, going weird news. This
one's crazy. Yeah, we can get
191
00:12:54.679 --> 00:13:01.679
there too. Domino's teased a crust
only pizza. It's like in a French
192
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:05.960
fry thing and it's just crust.
Maybe a joke that feels like an April
193
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:09.759
foolish ship, Like, isn't the
crust the joke that no one eats it?
194
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:13.360
So then why would you sell that
only kind? I like crust too,
195
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:16.320
but right, that's the joke or
that's the thing. I'm not going
196
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:18.480
out of my way to buy crust, right because it got no topping,
197
00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:20.960
like and then it's just bread.
It's not even a good bread steak.
198
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:24.519
Bread steaks out of pizza place is
a weird concept though to me. Fact
199
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:28.159
right, I'll eat them because the
crust is already bread, right, I
200
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:33.519
mean, like, why do you
need Yeah, you're you're ordering an appetizer
201
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:37.799
that is just a shitty version of
your main meal, right Yeah, No,
202
00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:43.399
I mean the only reason to eat
bread in a restaurant, as far
203
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:48.000
as I'm concerned, is if it
comes to your table while you're waiting for
204
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:50.000
your andres. For sure, your
salad course or whatever. Yeah yeah,
205
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:54.360
or yeah, oh yeah. It's
something that you know that requires a little
206
00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:58.120
bread to you know, I don't
know, and an AFGHMP plus the other
207
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:03.200
night and an amazing bread that came
out first, but we also needed it
208
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:05.519
along the way, so it was
good. All right, here's the big
209
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:15.519
news of the day, Big news
BBBBBBBBB live just in ten hours ago,
210
00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:20.679
which is kind of random. That's
like midnight. The IPF secures a TV
211
00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:28.120
broadcast partnership with North America. Oh
interesting, IPF and CBS Sports broadcaster the
212
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:31.159
Super Bowl twenty twenty four. I've
signed a multi year deal agreement to bring
213
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:35.240
the IPF Powerlifting to the TV in
the USA and all of North America.
214
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:39.039
CBS Sports is one of the most
prestigious sports channels in North America and has
215
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:45.320
a reach of over sixty five million
households within the US. CBS Sports broadcast
216
00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:48.440
may many prestigious sporting events, and
now the IPF Powerlifting is one of them.
217
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:54.720
The first broadcast event is twenty twenty
four IPF World bench Press Championships in
218
00:14:54.799 --> 00:15:00.879
Austin, Texas. This home event
will be a primetime session live at six
219
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:05.120
days of competition, uh. There
will also be highlight show covering the whole
220
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:09.440
event with championships included. Blah blah
blah blah blah. IPF President Guston says
221
00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:15.399
with CBS Sports, the IPF will
finally increase broadcasting portfolio dramatically coverage over North
222
00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:22.919
America. Well should I should,
I DM Guston. We can garage and
223
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:28.679
congratulate him. Yeah. I mean, I wonder how much globally they care.
224
00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:31.080
I don't know, and I don't
know how watchable that's gonna be.
225
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:35.320
I mean, I think if since
kind of the biggest problem with it is
226
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:37.919
that it takes forever and it's not
that watchable. I think the way is
227
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:41.919
with the CBS, right because they
made the Cross of games pretty watchable,
228
00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:45.200
and same thing if you've gone to
the games, they're so boring because you're
229
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:46.559
like, do an event and you
wait half an hour, Then you do
230
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:50.200
an event, then you wait three
hours, then you do another event.
231
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:52.559
You don't know who's on the stage
because there's fucking you're in a football field.
232
00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:56.559
There's a soccer stadium and there's four
people running around. You know.
233
00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:00.480
But with cool cameras, a little
bit of edits a little bit of commentary
234
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:02.399
in between. I think they could
do it. So what does that mean
235
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:07.039
CBS is taking over like the full
streaming and everything. Oh yeah, they'll
236
00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:11.960
They'll probably be all the all the
pieces for that same with what that's what
237
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:15.519
happened across the ESPN did a contract
and ESPN was there like not you know,
238
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:19.759
Jerry Rice isn't there, but like
not their main reporters. But it's
239
00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:22.519
all their team. It's their cameraman, it's their equipment, it's their r
240
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:26.960
vs, it's their switchboard. Guy. Yeah, I like watching the cross
241
00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:30.759
game on TV. It's lit and
in person it is very cool. I
242
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:33.519
think it's more to go to for
sure. People are running around, but
243
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:37.919
in person it's not because you're you're
I'm telling you your upper deck in a
244
00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:41.759
full soccer stadium and there's six people
run around. But on TV, on
245
00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:45.200
I agree, it's pretty cool.
Local cross. Yeah, locals a little
246
00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:48.759
better because you're like on the workout
the field they're running. I think watching
247
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:52.840
that type of agree more. There's
more variants. But but on TV,
248
00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:56.879
the cross for games turned out pretty
good. Strong Man turns out really great.
249
00:16:56.879 --> 00:16:59.759
When it's edited live, it's a
little slow too, Yeah, for
250
00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:03.319
sure, I'm curious to see if
they're actually really broadcasting it or if it's
251
00:17:03.359 --> 00:17:08.920
going to be like so many of
the sports that CBS covers will be on
252
00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:15.279
paramount plus chances it will be online
to start maybe worlds, right, if
253
00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:19.519
worlds if world lines up with a
time of the year where nothing's going on
254
00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:23.759
right mid middle season of baseball,
maybe right mid July, no one want,
255
00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:26.960
I mean same with middle of season
basketball, Like right now, nothing's
256
00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:30.200
going on in sports right because NFL
is over. It's kind of that period
257
00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:34.440
in basketball, base wasn't started.
Hockey's gonna get playoffs soon, so maybe,
258
00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:37.480
but right now it's kind of a
lull. So if it was out
259
00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:40.920
right now, right, that's why
March is so big, with March madness.
260
00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:44.559
That's I'm sure there's an Illuminati planning
all this because they got to go
261
00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:47.279
in when the NBA is a little
low, you know, the script writers,
262
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:52.519
Yeah, the script the sports scripts. So if it falls in some
263
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:53.799
of those times, all right,
here's another one. So CBS will be
264
00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:57.880
highlighted the IPF World Open Classic power
Lifting Championship in Lithuania, which is this
265
00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:02.039
year. I don't know which time, but I was talking to Keiko about
266
00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:06.119
it over the weekend, which we'll
talk about next. And I have to
267
00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:10.359
quit powerlifting Championship in Iceland. Both
events are qualifiers for the World Games,
268
00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:12.279
which is I think the first time
IPF is going to the World Games,
269
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:17.319
which is a big deal. Yeah, and that's kind of the main news,
270
00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:21.440
and this would not I'm just this
is another kind of piece of information
271
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:26.480
that came out a few weeks ago
that Fox, Disney and Warner Brothers Discovery
272
00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:33.319
are developing a new sports streaming app
that will like all of their contracts will
273
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:36.720
go to one place, will go
to one place. You'll also be able
274
00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:38.039
to see it in the other things, but you can just buy the sports
275
00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:45.799
app. It's smart because Disney spartner
with ESPN. Right, Disney owns ESPN
276
00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:53.599
and ABC, Paramount owns CBS and
then Comcast on universals, NBCNBC. Yeah,
277
00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:57.079
and what like the Super Bowl normally
rotates obviously it's been on in the
278
00:18:57.119 --> 00:19:03.119
back end, typically feels like it
rotates fairly evenly. Yeah, I think
279
00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:07.000
every couple of years or so after
and then what's their big ship. This
280
00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:10.519
kind of series is almost always Fox. Yeah, it is, huh yeah,
281
00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:12.680
Yeah, And NBC often has the
NBA, but I feel like it
282
00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:17.480
rotates too because the NBA is all
over the map because there's so many games,
283
00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:19.279
which is the cool part of the
NBA. Right, I guess football
284
00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:22.920
too, Yeah, right, Sunday
you'll get like a morning game on ABC,
285
00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:26.519
then afternoon game on Fox, in
the nighttime game on ESPN or some
286
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:29.440
shit. I'm trying to think of
another big thing that rotates. I can't
287
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:30.799
think of it. Yeah, I
can't think of because the Super Bowl is
288
00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:34.599
like the one right, because even
NBA MLB is all a series, which
289
00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:37.480
is cool, right, but it's
not just a one game. Yeah.
290
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:41.559
And Stanley Cup. I think I
think Fox gets a lot of hockey too.
291
00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:45.279
I don't think I actually watched the
hockey game, like I watched some
292
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:48.559
like a full game, excited,
not watch the game, not in person,
293
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:52.119
but on TV. I mean for
a really long time. Yeah,
294
00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:56.200
But before my dad worked for AT
and T, we're pretty broke. There
295
00:19:56.279 --> 00:19:59.039
was like a gap time so we
had like no cable or nothing. So
296
00:19:59.079 --> 00:20:02.000
I'm literally just watching Channel ten all
day, you know, like so if
297
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:04.079
hockey came on, I'm watching that. That's just whatever's on. And then
298
00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:07.839
dad worked for AT and t so
we got I don't know, free cable,
299
00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:11.000
but cheapest fuck cable. Yeah,
I watched hockey in person. It's
300
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:15.559
it's pretty exciting in person. I've
heard in person sick and it. It's
301
00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:19.039
not bad on TV, honestly.
Yeah, it's like since since we got
302
00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:23.519
widescreen hgtvs, it's not it's not
bad at all. It's hard to track
303
00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:26.799
before. Yeah, sometimes we'll make
the little shit glow. You know,
304
00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:30.599
that's smart. I just never played
it, you know, so the intricacies,
305
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:32.680
but it is. I mean,
it's like basketball and soccer combined.
306
00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:33.759
It's cool. Yeah, I think
it's dope, but I just don't get
307
00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:40.240
it. But I can see how
someone World Cup that's a big contract rotate.
308
00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:44.240
I'm sure it does. And that
yeah, on the global scale,
309
00:20:44.279 --> 00:20:48.279
that's what I wonder, Like you
just never know how big powerlifting actually is,
310
00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:52.480
right, And like some of the
European like London, like England has
311
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:56.519
started to be big. Obviously Russia
historically is big, but that's also like
312
00:20:56.640 --> 00:21:00.200
US, it's like there's tested and
untested in a lot of those countries.
313
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:03.559
Like I wonder if that shit's on
TV, you know, I remember,
314
00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:06.240
I don't know if you guys know
cloak Off is. But Klokov went to
315
00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:10.200
the Olympics for Olympic weightlifting and then
dabbled in some CrossFit. But he got
316
00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:14.359
like kind of viral in the early
twenty tens because he could kind of do
317
00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:18.400
anything. So he might've got gold. Don't quote me, but I think
318
00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:21.559
he got silver at the Olympics.
But he was jacked out of his fucking
319
00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:23.480
brains, you know, probably way
two twenty looked looked insane, and a
320
00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:27.119
lot of weightlifters like, don't you
know the heavier weight classes are just a
321
00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:30.240
little thicker, But he looked like
a bodybuilder. He could bench press like
322
00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:34.519
four to seventy, he could deadlift
like eight hundred or seven seventy, and
323
00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:38.200
then he's squatting tons of weight,
which most weightlifters do squad a lot,
324
00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:41.720
but he's doing everything. Yeah,
it looks crazy. So he tapped into
325
00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:47.359
the CrossFit community and that's where we
found him. And we never had a
326
00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:49.880
podcast, I think because this language
barrier. But I was around him a
327
00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:53.680
decent amount, just shaking hands or
watching him or whatever. And he was
328
00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:56.880
a legit celebrity in Russia, you
know, like he was on like Dancing
329
00:21:56.880 --> 00:22:00.680
with the Stars Russia. You know, we're like no weightlifter here, Like
330
00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:03.240
you if we go to do some
of these TikTok videos and we go to
331
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:07.400
the mall, like name one American
weightlifter. Nothing, You're getting Arnold Schwarzenegger.
332
00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:11.440
Like that's all people got. True. So I do wonder if TV
333
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:18.400
coverage is more normal around the world. Probably, So he did one season
334
00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:23.079
of that CrossFit like, yeah,
the team competition that's still going on.
335
00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:26.960
Yeah in Florida. Yeah, I
have a homie that's on it, just
336
00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:30.200
Florida. I think that's weird.
But I did see him compete there,
337
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:33.400
and he is huge. The concept
that that was cool. They basically made
338
00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:38.039
a CrossFit team based league and it
was national for like a year or two.
339
00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:44.880
It's called the League Grid League,
Grid League, Grid League, and
340
00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:47.160
the concept was cool. So,
like cross you're supposed to be good at
341
00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:51.200
everything, so these are like CrossFit
like workouts, but you could have specialists.
342
00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:55.279
So they signed him because he can
outsnatch anybody in the league. And
343
00:22:55.279 --> 00:22:56.680
then they would sign like someone who's
kind of good at triathlons. You would
344
00:22:56.680 --> 00:23:00.480
probably outrun or out engine anyone in
the league. And then you have a
345
00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:03.200
couple of crossfitters, right that are
pretty good at everything. You have a
346
00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:06.359
powerlifter because there's a bunch of deadlift
events or something like that. I thought
347
00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:08.200
the concept was really cool and they
did have a huge budget there. It
348
00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:11.559
was a toty buddy. These names
are for anybody froming back to my brain
349
00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:15.319
that we had. Yeah, we
had hit all the podcast. We got
350
00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:18.000
on all kinds of trouble for Yeah, he was he was like a number
351
00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:22.039
two or three in charge of CrossFit
and left in his own ship. And
352
00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:25.599
yeah, it had some wheels,
It had some momentum, and I think
353
00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:27.559
the concept was cool because again,
like you even said, CrossFit's kind of
354
00:23:27.559 --> 00:23:32.000
cool to watch. Strong man's way
cooler to watch than powerlifting or weightlifting,
355
00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:34.359
just because there's there's more variants,
there's more obviously, it's a lot more
356
00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:40.880
dynamic visually, and the competition is
still there. Yeah, we'll see who
357
00:23:40.960 --> 00:23:44.839
streams of the Olympics does that one
roll take? It almost always n It's
358
00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:48.279
almost I was like I couldn't remember
it rotating big sports. I was like,
359
00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:51.480
oh, we didn't bring up.
There's a lot of change in that
360
00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:56.279
world going on too. The CrossFit
Games are going to Ireland, or something,
361
00:23:56.680 --> 00:24:02.440
or the Rogue Invitational is going to
Ireland. That's interesting. The CrossFit
362
00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:07.559
Games are going somewhere also Dallas,
Fort Worth, Oh maybe so, I
363
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:10.640
don't know. And yeah, the
World's Strongest Man again, I think,
364
00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:12.319
is in Carolina before it comes back
here. I'm sure it'll come back here
365
00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:18.279
within the next five But yeah,
the Rogue Invitational going to because I was
366
00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:22.640
talking to Bart and some other friends
about how that seems like the coolest event
367
00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:27.400
right now is the Rogue Invitational strong
Man CrossFit in Texas and Austin. You
368
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:30.680
know, they're filling out like the
whole Texas University of Texas stadium and shit
369
00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:34.240
looks sick. And then now we're
going to fucking Ireland. So there goes
370
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:38.359
that idea. And I knew the
CrossFit Games were leaving Wisconsin. I thought
371
00:24:38.359 --> 00:24:41.799
they were going to go back to
LA which in my opinion, would be
372
00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:44.839
a good move. But I think
they're ending up in Texas, which is
373
00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:47.839
also a solid move. It's not
that I can't really tell from this,
374
00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:49.480
but it makes sense. Yeah,
I saw I saw a clip somewhere.
375
00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:53.000
I was talking to Dean about it
too. Maybe a lot of changes,
376
00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:56.920
oh fort Worth, yea yeah,
fort Worth, which makes sense. You
377
00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:00.640
know, Texas I think is like
the most fastest growing state. HoTT as
378
00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:03.400
fuck though it can't be, it
can't. But so it was La,
379
00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:07.240
you know, the part of La
they were in mid mid July, got
380
00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:10.799
up to the nineties. It was
hot on the on the asphalt, I
381
00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:18.720
guarantee for Worths hotter probably probably I
ain't competing, no, yeah, yeah,
382
00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:23.759
USAPL maybe dying. Yeah, I
mean this news is big news.
383
00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:26.359
There's a little back end drama that
I can't speak on too much. I
384
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:30.319
wish I knew more, but I
knew. There's some kind of you know,
385
00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:42.160
tea rolling around about people's reciprocation to
the federation, which I think is
386
00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:47.039
a funny concept because then you know, you look back and there's no like
387
00:25:47.119 --> 00:25:51.119
contract and there's no But basically,
I think someone within the usa PL called
388
00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:53.200
out other folks for not giving back
to the sport enough, in particular the
389
00:25:53.319 --> 00:25:56.960
USAPL, and there's a lot of
clap back from lifters and people I know
390
00:25:57.079 --> 00:26:02.720
figures in the usa PL that probably
going powerlifting America now talking kind of back
391
00:26:02.759 --> 00:26:04.440
at him, because it is a
wild concept because like, what are you
392
00:26:04.440 --> 00:26:07.960
giving us? And we've said this
from private meetings, but I'll say a
393
00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:15.039
public like federations and people need us. It's it's it's there's so many options
394
00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:18.839
out there, you know. And
that's why there probably is no lifters union,
395
00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:22.400
like there is a player's union in
the NBA and shit, because the
396
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:25.839
NBA is your only option, so
you got to go union to argue back.
397
00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:30.720
But but in lifting, there's options
everywhere. You can one because there's
398
00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:34.839
you're not making a living. Two
because if you want to make a living,
399
00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:37.119
you could do it anywhere. You
know, Russwol is going to be
400
00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:41.759
Russwool, whether he's USA PL Powerlifting
America or he wants to go to the
401
00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:45.559
WRPF. Those feds need rust Wool
more than Russwold needs them. And then
402
00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:51.640
even if there are no federations,
he could hit PRS in his deadlift platform
403
00:26:51.680 --> 00:26:55.839
and in his life is not going
to change. His finances, his popularity,
404
00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:57.599
all that will not change. And
that's just a parent. If you
405
00:26:57.599 --> 00:27:02.680
look at the Bradley Mount Martin and
the Calm von Mongers and the Silent Mics,
406
00:27:02.680 --> 00:27:04.720
they've all made careers without being competitors, you know, like it's not
407
00:27:04.759 --> 00:27:11.160
based on being a competitor. You
know, mari Esovs literally never competed in
408
00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:12.920
lifting his life and one of the
biggest figures in fitness over the last decade.
409
00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:17.880
You know. So it's a weird
concept if you were starting to like
410
00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:21.839
play a guilty card or ask for
help in a sense. And I think
411
00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:23.759
it was about like spotting and loading
and shit like that, which is all
412
00:27:23.880 --> 00:27:27.240
crazy as well, right, Like
I think it was like, yeah,
413
00:27:27.319 --> 00:27:30.319
all of it, all of it. I think, all the volunteer shit,
414
00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:36.079
whatever it is, it doesn't really
matter, reffing volunteering, like pay
415
00:27:36.119 --> 00:27:40.720
better, build a system, build
an incentive system, make your pro athletes
416
00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:42.480
actually pro athletes, and don't take
their money. Like you can't. You
417
00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:47.039
can't like be asking all these requests
when your back end is so fucked up,
418
00:27:47.359 --> 00:27:48.519
you know, like what do you
give anyone? You All you do
419
00:27:48.599 --> 00:27:52.079
is restrict And I hate the term
because it's so popular, but like the
420
00:27:52.119 --> 00:27:59.599
scarcity mindset within these FEDS is crazy. Instead of like uh, inviting and
421
00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:04.160
open and like giving and kind of
a two way road, they kind of
422
00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:07.200
like gaslight you into be parting in
the being part of the FED. Like
423
00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:11.200
Nope, you can't compete at the
IPF grabs your choke collar. Nope,
424
00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:14.839
we need you to judge more.
Choke caller. You know, like,
425
00:28:14.880 --> 00:28:17.920
oh but here, fees are going
up this year, choke caller. You
426
00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:21.920
know, they're just tightening this thing
up rather than like, if you just
427
00:28:21.960 --> 00:28:23.880
think about everything as a two way, how does it benefit my lifters?
428
00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:26.880
How does it benefit the FED?
How does it benefit us, you'll probably
429
00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:32.079
come up with slightly more creative answers. So it's pretty weird. Honey and
430
00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:36.519
vinegar. Yeah, yeah, yeah, tying the bottle far enough is gonna
431
00:28:36.519 --> 00:28:37.200
pop? Yeah? I think it
is. I think it is. I
432
00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:40.680
mean, you get this IPF announcement, you get this random drama, which
433
00:28:40.680 --> 00:28:42.839
again I don't know the roots of
it. So I do love talking about
434
00:28:42.880 --> 00:28:45.920
drama, especially when I'm not involved, but I just don't know enough about
435
00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:49.440
it. But all the responses I
said were literally that, like, hey,
436
00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:53.119
man, like so and so as
podcasts that bring more people into the
437
00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:59.039
sport than usapl's marketing ever has.
Russwol's like one of your best lifters and
438
00:28:59.200 --> 00:29:03.200
biggest YouTube the game, who's brought
in more lifters than any marketing scheme you've
439
00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:07.079
ever had in the USAPL. Like
why Why are we pointing fingers at these
440
00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:10.759
type of people? Right? Why
not like build an incentive system within your
441
00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:12.480
Look, man, I'll give you
free consulting right now. This is five
442
00:29:12.519 --> 00:29:18.519
thousand dollars of Mike's business coaching.
Why not build a system within memberships that
443
00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:23.279
once you're two or three years consecutive
USAPL members, you'll get a free membership
444
00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:30.440
or one free meet paid if you
become a referee, yeah, or you
445
00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:34.359
get yeah. For every meat you
ref you get X amount of dollars guaranteed,
446
00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:38.720
X amount of stipend guaranteed, and
you get X amount of credits towards
447
00:29:38.759 --> 00:29:42.920
a USAPL event. You know,
Like, there's so many little dumb shits
448
00:29:42.920 --> 00:29:45.359
that you could do. And I
don't know your guys books, but you
449
00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:49.920
could crunch numbers easily and figure out
ways. If it is something you're lacking
450
00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:55.039
in that you want people to be
a part of more volunteers, then then
451
00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:57.559
give them an incentive rather than like
pressuring them, like what the fuck is
452
00:29:57.599 --> 00:30:02.839
that gonna do? Yeah, Well, it's a very voluntary sports. And
453
00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:06.839
you're right, like I said,
very there are options out there. I
454
00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:10.720
don't understand why they think it'll work, right, well, especially now that
455
00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:12.519
the Powerlift America's grown. You know, we went to one of the CaCO
456
00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:15.960
classics. Shout out to the Iron
Office and Cake and all those for the
457
00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:19.559
the hospitality, and we were out
there helping Bart compete in its first PA
458
00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:23.920
meet. And you know, there's
obviously tons of similarities to the usapl there's
459
00:30:23.920 --> 00:30:27.960
a bunch of familiar faces we have
seen. And it ran smooth and everything
460
00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:30.000
was great. But it was all
in house. I think it was all
461
00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:34.640
like Iron Office lifters and employees running
the meat and they're all dope people,
462
00:30:34.680 --> 00:30:37.680
but like and it was a decent
sized meat. It moved really smooth.
463
00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:41.440
There's about forty fifty people finished in
one session, mid day kind of deal.
464
00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:47.519
And we did hear that the Powerlifting
America just doesn't have enough meats,
465
00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:51.720
probably isn't popular enough, and they
don't have big meats, like I don't
466
00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:52.839
think they wanted to make this a
giant meat, but it was one of
467
00:30:52.839 --> 00:30:56.480
the bigger meats, is the word
we got. There's not a lot of
468
00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:00.359
PA meets over forty lifters right now, which is fine and Dan and you
469
00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:03.000
know, we sold out our meat
here, which is in a week or
470
00:31:03.039 --> 00:31:07.480
two, one hundred and twenty ish
lifters I think in like three hours,
471
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:10.759
and we really did two posts on
it, so like we didn't promote much.
472
00:31:10.799 --> 00:31:15.440
So there's obviously hungry lifters. But
if there's incentive for Powerlift in America,
473
00:31:15.480 --> 00:31:18.279
all these lifters could switch. There's
like no reason to stay. You
474
00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:22.759
know, there's no USAPL. They're
literally the same fed. There's there's nothing
475
00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:26.319
different. I haven't looked at the
fees, but I assume the fees are
476
00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:32.200
insanely similar. The rules are insanely
similar, the community is insanely Yeah,
477
00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:37.160
it's all old members, like there's
nothing. You know, if I'm a
478
00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:40.799
lifter, it's a coin flip which
one I'm going to And if USAPL is
479
00:31:40.799 --> 00:31:45.319
going to be all pretentious and yell
at me for not helping, if our
480
00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:48.160
were to choose, I'm going powerlift
in America. You know, like if
481
00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:51.400
you set up the right environment and
culture, like people will want to help.
482
00:31:52.079 --> 00:31:53.519
They didn't have even paid for her
membership, No, everyone does.
483
00:31:53.559 --> 00:31:57.160
Yeah yeah, as a pro.
Pros pay membership. No, she had
484
00:31:57.200 --> 00:32:00.319
to pay to compete at the program. Yeah yeah, as a pro as
485
00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:04.799
the lead pro and the wind and
now you got to pay though, That's
486
00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:08.319
what I'm saying they got no reciprocity
for anything you got, I invite people
487
00:32:08.400 --> 00:32:13.440
to pay me, yeah, b
yeah, And and for a while they
488
00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:15.680
were the only ones doing it,
so you had to because they went to
489
00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:19.480
the IPF and they're the main legitimate
natty fed in the US. So like
490
00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:22.799
for a while, and I swear
to god, I've talked about it on
491
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:27.039
past podcasts about making a lifters union
similar with the UFC and fighters union.
492
00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:30.319
And at that time you needed it
because it was USAPL versus the lifters,
493
00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:35.079
and you had no other option if
you wanted to be drug tested and compete
494
00:32:35.119 --> 00:32:39.880
in a fairly tight drug tested fed. But now, yeah, now you
495
00:32:39.960 --> 00:32:45.200
got options, you know, And
and the IPFS everywhere, and even I
496
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:51.640
mean during the whole jump and escape, people were going to the motherland.
497
00:32:51.640 --> 00:32:54.519
They're going wherever their parents were from
and grabbing passports and ship and competing under
498
00:32:54.559 --> 00:33:00.480
other other nations because the usa PL
and the power of America. So like
499
00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:04.000
weird at the time, you know, and that's still a semi common thing.
500
00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:07.279
So it's weird. It is weird. I know. Usually you fly
501
00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:10.599
out your entertainment and pay for your
entertainment, and for sure, like you're
502
00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:14.079
gonna pay us to entertainment everyone else, and we're gonna make money off you.
503
00:33:14.119 --> 00:33:15.599
Well, especially in the beginning years, like I think the last two
504
00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:20.400
years when they started the pro thing
and there's like thirty pros. You're telling
505
00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:23.519
me you can't comp them a membership
or a meet or something a bit fucking
506
00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:28.759
backpack something something. Well, the
membership doesn't cost you anything to compact,
507
00:33:29.359 --> 00:33:32.559
right, right? What? Yeah? And if you want the sport to
508
00:33:32.559 --> 00:33:37.880
grow, if you want your pros
to be like stoked, right, like,
509
00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:39.279
you just treat people well and they'll
treat you well. Like you don't
510
00:33:39.279 --> 00:33:43.079
got to pay them a million dollars
like we understand that's probably not in the
511
00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:47.079
cards, but something seventy five dollars
for the few to be something something yeah,
512
00:33:47.160 --> 00:33:50.680
or like yeah, hey man,
you turned pro, Like congrats,
513
00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:53.960
you're you're a USAPO member for the
next five years. Yeah, who cares?
514
00:33:54.039 --> 00:33:57.079
Something? Yeah? Who cares?
Like if you want them to represent
515
00:33:57.079 --> 00:33:59.240
the sport for a long time,
and you want them not to switch the
516
00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:02.000
power of the America unless they're totally
delusional and they don't think powerlifting America has
517
00:34:02.039 --> 00:34:05.000
a chance, which is possible.
Right. A lot of people that run
518
00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:07.360
businesses are delusional, you know,
they're they're so caught up in their own
519
00:34:07.360 --> 00:34:10.440
storm. They think they're you know, the shit. And so if you
520
00:34:10.480 --> 00:34:14.320
if they don't see Powerlifting America as
a threat, maybe they do that.
521
00:34:14.400 --> 00:34:17.360
But if i'm you know, they
got Sheffield and Worlds, well it's just
522
00:34:17.400 --> 00:34:21.159
business man business Like I don't I
don't see everyone as a threat, but
523
00:34:21.199 --> 00:34:23.199
I see, like I see what
other people are doing and how we can
524
00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:27.239
do it better or different, you
know, like it doesn't have to be
525
00:34:27.880 --> 00:34:30.519
war. But like, all right, so, oh man, I heard
526
00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:34.119
Iron Office is doing xxx. That's
really cool that they do that for their
527
00:34:34.119 --> 00:34:36.280
members. Hey, I'll bring that
back to the team and hey, what
528
00:34:36.320 --> 00:34:38.079
do you guys think about You know, we do that kind of shit all
529
00:34:38.079 --> 00:34:42.079
the time, So why wouldn't you
do that over there? Hey, it
530
00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:46.360
looks like Powerlifting America's grabbing some momentum. What if we give our pros X
531
00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:50.440
y Z to represent the brand?
I think that goes back to what you're
532
00:34:50.440 --> 00:34:57.880
saying before. When you see that
you're being you know, kind of competitively
533
00:34:58.079 --> 00:35:05.480
outplayed. The thing to do is
to figure out how to how to appeal
534
00:35:05.599 --> 00:35:09.440
better to your audience and not how
to not to be punitive, and it's
535
00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:14.760
turning into it kind of reminds me
of the PGA l I V thing.
536
00:35:14.920 --> 00:35:16.840
It is. No, it's very
similar, except that there are going to
537
00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:20.519
be all under one roof at some
point. But but there's still a lot
538
00:35:20.519 --> 00:35:27.239
of animosity among the players about that. Yeah. And then and my words
539
00:35:27.280 --> 00:35:30.320
go to Powers in America too,
because it's not like y'all are doing anything
540
00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:32.880
fucking special either. Now y'all just
have the IPF contract, you know,
541
00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:37.480
so like let's not let's not like
rest on our loins as like a community
542
00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:40.039
or leaders in these sports and start
pointing fingers. You know, it's like
543
00:35:40.079 --> 00:35:43.920
a little kid thing like you're pointing
one finger at us that we're not spot
544
00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:45.840
and loading, Like look at those
three fingers your point at yourself, Like
545
00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:49.760
what are you doing? What are
you doing to make it a better federation?
546
00:35:49.880 --> 00:35:52.519
Like what has the USAPO done?
I understand they're trying to start the
547
00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:54.400
Pro Series, which is a great
concept and it does take time to rev
548
00:35:54.480 --> 00:35:58.079
up, but like Power of America, same thing, Like what have you
549
00:35:58.119 --> 00:36:00.679
done to make your fed actually better
rather than you just bought the contract to
550
00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:06.199
go to the IPF. I think
another question is like, what is their
551
00:36:06.440 --> 00:36:12.519
overall goal? Is your goal to
provide a path to international competition? Is
552
00:36:12.559 --> 00:36:16.000
your goal to have to bring more
lifters into the sport? Is your goal
553
00:36:16.159 --> 00:36:22.199
to support like local competitions for people
who are never going to go to an
554
00:36:22.199 --> 00:36:25.400
international stage? Right? I mean
maybe it's all of that, but like
555
00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:30.559
something's got to be your number one. And I'm sure if an usapl can't
556
00:36:30.639 --> 00:36:35.039
do the first one anymore, yeah
that too, you know they can.
557
00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:38.960
They're trying to create their the international
competitions, but like that, it's a
558
00:36:39.000 --> 00:36:42.559
long it's a long place. It's
a long game. It's a cool one.
559
00:36:42.559 --> 00:36:45.360
But yeah, and maybe you know, we're not as in touch as
560
00:36:45.360 --> 00:36:49.360
some folks. But you shouldn't have
to go to like some deep reddit or
561
00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:52.800
like follow one particular dude to get
the transparency of this stuff, right,
562
00:36:52.840 --> 00:36:55.480
Like how does not powerlift in America? Like if I'm nam, I'm like
563
00:36:55.559 --> 00:36:59.519
hiring Russ and like, hey man, you're gonna be our spokesperson you down
564
00:37:00.119 --> 00:37:02.679
like and we'll shuffle them news and
announcements and he will fucking shuffle the news
565
00:37:02.719 --> 00:37:07.519
and announcements out or whatever this podcast
or somebody like I would just hire same
566
00:37:07.559 --> 00:37:10.280
with USAPL, Like, yeah,
you have your you know, weekly or
567
00:37:10.360 --> 00:37:15.079
quarterly pamphlet you email out or something, but like, no one's fucking reading
568
00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:19.920
that, like you know, like
what and and in politics and shit,
569
00:37:19.960 --> 00:37:22.519
it just kind of naturally occurs,
and it does here a little bit.
570
00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:27.320
You know, the president will write
some crazy fucking thing and then every analyst
571
00:37:27.440 --> 00:37:30.840
comes out with their representation of it. But if i'm Powerlift America in USPL,
572
00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:34.639
I'm just hiring someone to do that
for me. Yeah, they're they're
573
00:37:34.679 --> 00:37:37.440
both well, all the FEDS are
terrible at comms. Yeah, yeah,
574
00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:42.239
they're just really bad at comms.
They need pr agencies that know what they're
575
00:37:42.280 --> 00:37:44.639
doing, and they and they and
even when they hire them, they don't
576
00:37:44.639 --> 00:37:45.880
know what they're doing. So yeah, I would literally just hire a podcast
577
00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:49.559
or YouTube say hey, man,
are you down for X amount of dollars
578
00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:52.639
once a quarter to talk about what
we're changing? Like yeah, anyone would
579
00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:54.639
do that. Yeah, you know, hey, can you give us an
580
00:37:54.679 --> 00:37:59.159
unbiased opinion on X? Like yeah, I just think that just they're just
581
00:37:59.239 --> 00:38:02.039
bad at communication on their own.
Yeah. Well, I mean, and
582
00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:06.000
I'm maybe a little bit biased or
negative when it comes to this, but
583
00:38:06.039 --> 00:38:08.199
I think a lot of people have
success that haven't earned it, and so
584
00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:14.079
like a lot of people have businesses
that succeed despite their business knowledge or their
585
00:38:14.079 --> 00:38:17.320
creativity. A lot of people end
up in situations of running a federation or
586
00:38:17.360 --> 00:38:22.320
whatever based on the federation's past or
you know, like literally guys like Russ
587
00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:27.840
and Candido and Omar and Bart,
like they're the ones that made the USAPL
588
00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:30.880
cool. Like it wasn't because the
USAPL was doing a bunch of special shit,
589
00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:34.800
It's because of a few people that
really loved the sport lifting weights to
590
00:38:34.840 --> 00:38:37.039
the community, got popular on the
internet and major shit cool, you know.
591
00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:39.239
And there's a bunch of other names
we could throw on there too,
592
00:38:39.280 --> 00:38:45.079
But it's just like, but if
you're the president or the vice president or
593
00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:47.360
whatever the PR team there, you
probably think you did the best marketing gig
594
00:38:47.400 --> 00:38:51.679
ever. Right, your track record
looks fucking sick over the last twelve years.
595
00:38:51.920 --> 00:38:55.639
I think if you're not a professional
in that in that area, and
596
00:38:55.679 --> 00:39:00.760
you're not willing to spend the money
for that, you can vince yourself that
597
00:39:00.760 --> 00:39:07.599
you're doing a good job when you're
not. Yeah, correction too earlier.
598
00:39:07.760 --> 00:39:12.639
The Rogue Invitational in twenty twenty four
is going to Scotland, not Ireland.
599
00:39:13.639 --> 00:39:17.400
It's in November, November eighth or
the tenth, and it's on the so
600
00:39:17.519 --> 00:39:22.840
it's an Aberdeen, which is on
the east coast of Scotland. It's like
601
00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:28.199
a cool idea, right because they're
all about like the history of sports and
602
00:39:28.239 --> 00:39:32.119
they've done some crazy documentaries and culture
building around that. But like if you're
603
00:39:32.159 --> 00:39:38.079
expecting spectators, there's just no way
you're getting there what you got in Texas.
604
00:39:38.840 --> 00:39:43.840
And same idea of like moving the
CrossFit Games, Yeah, like that's
605
00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:45.280
not where they're going to be competing
even if they were, though, like
606
00:39:45.320 --> 00:39:49.639
who's flying there from New York?
Like the richest of the ridge, right,
607
00:39:49.719 --> 00:39:52.599
Like no viewers are going there.
No viewers are going there, although
608
00:39:52.639 --> 00:39:55.360
that's a pretty short flight and right, but in the in the scheme of
609
00:39:55.400 --> 00:40:02.320
things, it's shorter flight than flying
to California from New York. But either
610
00:40:02.320 --> 00:40:07.559
way, just the trouble of international
travels not you're not going to get the
611
00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:10.599
same people flying in And same with
the CrossFit Games and same with the USAPL
612
00:40:10.760 --> 00:40:15.719
Nationals, Like why are we throwing
this in Memphis, Tennessee When we had
613
00:40:15.719 --> 00:40:17.559
a bunch of people show out and
it was a great event in Vegas?
614
00:40:17.800 --> 00:40:22.320
Why is it CrossFit games? And
I understand the stadium was probably much cheaper
615
00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:24.880
to grab in Milwaukee, Wisconsin than
it was to grab in Los Angeles,
616
00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:29.280
California, But like, who is
going to go there for a week and
617
00:40:29.320 --> 00:40:32.159
hang out? Like there's very little
reason to you know. And again I
618
00:40:32.199 --> 00:40:37.360
don't know the x's and O.
So if they're that blatantly different, I
619
00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:40.360
get it, But I don't know, Man, where have they had been
620
00:40:40.599 --> 00:40:45.880
having the Rogue Invitational in Columbus or
in other Texas? Texas Texas University of
621
00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:50.519
Texas. University of Texas, which
I think is a great move, very
622
00:40:50.559 --> 00:40:53.159
fit town, centrally located, a
bunch of other shit to do, right
623
00:40:53.199 --> 00:40:58.440
there's comedy and music and food and
bars, like there's other cool shit to
624
00:40:58.440 --> 00:41:04.480
do. So like I think putting
it in Europe does have a certain wease
625
00:41:05.199 --> 00:41:08.280
strength. Sports are bigger in Europe
just kind of period. They're big,
626
00:41:08.360 --> 00:41:13.079
They're big, for sure, but
there's just I highly doubt their attendance is
627
00:41:13.079 --> 00:41:16.400
going to be the same as University
of Texas. We about to see,
628
00:41:16.559 --> 00:41:22.000
yea, we about to see It's
maybe cheaper, maybe grab some kind of
629
00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:25.039
contract and some promotion, but yeah, I don't know. And the majority
630
00:41:25.039 --> 00:41:30.599
of the people are American, Yeah
I think so, No, for sure,
631
00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:34.000
Yeah, yeah, because the crossfits
the bigger competition, the strong Man
632
00:41:34.039 --> 00:41:37.920
they have like six guys and that's
Pepery International CrossFit. They have probably a
633
00:41:37.000 --> 00:41:40.159
hundred competitors, I still think,
because they still do like juniors, yeah,
634
00:41:40.360 --> 00:41:45.400
been they do it all and strong
Man there's like six in vites,
635
00:41:45.480 --> 00:41:49.480
maybe ten, and those might be
a little bit mixed. But even then
636
00:41:50.039 --> 00:41:52.719
it's not people from Wales, you
know, they're people from all over.
637
00:41:52.960 --> 00:41:57.440
I don't know. The A's might
be coming to Sack. Do you read
638
00:41:57.480 --> 00:42:00.559
that news? I keep seeing that
and I still think it's bs. Really
639
00:42:00.760 --> 00:42:04.360
yeah, what are they going to
do in between? Well, I keep
640
00:42:04.400 --> 00:42:08.880
hearing that all of this talk about
where else they might be going is an
641
00:42:08.920 --> 00:42:14.840
attempt to get Oakland to extend their
contracts. No, no, no,
642
00:42:14.880 --> 00:42:17.239
So this is a transitional bridge,
I know, to extend their contraction until
643
00:42:17.239 --> 00:42:21.199
they're ready to move to Vegas.
So you'd see your contract you wanted to
644
00:42:21.239 --> 00:42:24.840
go alonger two years? Yeah,
their contract ends at the Coliseum, yeah
645
00:42:25.199 --> 00:42:31.119
twenty four. Yeah, well this
season this season interesting, that's the stadium
646
00:42:31.119 --> 00:42:34.960
does suck though. Way, I
haven't been to it twenty years and when
647
00:42:34.960 --> 00:42:37.400
I went twenty years ago, it's
the same stadium. Now, well that's
648
00:42:37.400 --> 00:42:40.199
what I'm saying. There's twenty years
ago is ass. So it hasn't worked.
649
00:42:40.199 --> 00:42:44.639
It's not gotten any better for sure. Yeah. I stopped going there
650
00:42:44.679 --> 00:42:46.480
because it was garbage. Yea,
yeahsh I mean all their stadiums were,
651
00:42:46.719 --> 00:42:51.639
and so it makes sense that the
Warriors something new. Yeah, that the
652
00:42:51.679 --> 00:42:54.960
Warriors moved. Yeah. I wish
the Niners obviously would move back into the
653
00:42:55.000 --> 00:42:58.960
city, but it is what it
is. And then yeah, what are
654
00:42:59.000 --> 00:43:02.760
you gonna do with days? Yeah, I mean our stadium's tiny, but
655
00:43:02.800 --> 00:43:07.280
it would be fucking pretty cool didn't
sell out every time, Yeah, it
656
00:43:07.280 --> 00:43:09.920
would be pretty cool. I think
that the big issue is being is the
657
00:43:10.599 --> 00:43:15.519
broadcast contract. Probably than be able
to meet the requirements of the broadcast contract.
658
00:43:15.559 --> 00:43:19.159
Yeah, and who knows it.
Yeah, I mean the MLB's probably
659
00:43:19.159 --> 00:43:22.800
got tons of rules around even viewership, how big your stadium has to be
660
00:43:22.880 --> 00:43:24.840
in parking spots, yeah, et
cetera. We might not hit that.
661
00:43:25.360 --> 00:43:30.280
Yeah, I mean I think that
the San Francisco's Ballpark started out at like
662
00:43:31.000 --> 00:43:37.000
seventeen eighteen thousand, something like that. Oh, the molb Yeah, the
663
00:43:37.480 --> 00:43:40.119
giants. It started out relatively small, and it's kind of it's grown.
664
00:43:40.159 --> 00:43:44.119
They've expanded it. It's still not
one of the biggest ones because you,
665
00:43:44.360 --> 00:43:46.599
like you kind of you want one
that's big, but not so big for
666
00:43:46.639 --> 00:43:50.679
sure, because you want to be
able to get close to selling it out.
667
00:43:50.800 --> 00:43:54.280
What's the average? Five's a question. I want to know Boston small?
668
00:43:54.719 --> 00:44:00.559
What six inches? No, it's
a six, ain't it? He
669
00:44:00.639 --> 00:44:04.679
said? One inch? One inch, that's what he said. No,
670
00:44:04.760 --> 00:44:07.880
not the average, but anyway,
not the average. I know, but
671
00:44:07.960 --> 00:44:12.880
one inch ain't even the joke.
What is the average? Six? No,
672
00:44:14.079 --> 00:44:15.400
five and a half for sure,
it's like three point eight. No,
673
00:44:15.920 --> 00:44:21.960
shut Google, what are you talking
about? It's known fact that it's
674
00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:28.960
like five six. I feel like
it's fire globally. Now you're you're racist.
675
00:44:29.320 --> 00:44:32.159
That was a racist comment. I
go Google. That's assuming that someplace
676
00:44:32.199 --> 00:44:37.639
has got small cocks based on where
they're born. Baby, we ain't hiding
677
00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:42.840
it. Who's we? You know
who? You know who? I don't.
678
00:44:42.920 --> 00:44:44.920
I'm not racist. I'm saying it, but you know who? No,
679
00:44:45.039 --> 00:44:50.000
I don't know because I'm not racist. Five point seventeen five. Yeah,
680
00:44:50.960 --> 00:44:55.199
Global, Yeah, hmmm, actually
wait wait, yeah, I need
681
00:44:55.199 --> 00:45:00.400
to correct myself. Oracle Parks it's
forty two thousand, three hundred because it's
682
00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:06.480
a football It's no Oracle Park the
baseball Yeah, but the Raiders played in
683
00:45:06.519 --> 00:45:12.880
there. That's what I'm saying.
That's why it's so big because the Raiders.
684
00:45:12.880 --> 00:45:15.559
The Raiders shared that for thirty years. I'm talking about Oracle Park.
685
00:45:15.599 --> 00:45:20.840
I'm talking about the Giants. Oh, the new Yeah, it's now called
686
00:45:20.880 --> 00:45:22.519
Oracle. It started off as pack
Bell and then it went to SBC,
687
00:45:22.679 --> 00:45:30.079
but it wasn't Oracle. Oracle was
the Warriors too in Oakland in was it?
688
00:45:30.199 --> 00:45:34.400
Yeah? For sure that was Oracle. Thought they were O dot Co?
689
00:45:35.800 --> 00:45:38.960
What they hell said? Dot Com? Oh? I know Oracle was
690
00:45:39.000 --> 00:45:43.760
for sure one of the Oakland stadiums. There's another Oracle, but it's not
691
00:45:43.760 --> 00:45:47.760
not a baseball stadium in in major
the major leagues. But it's not Oracle
692
00:45:47.800 --> 00:45:52.599
Park. Is San Francisco Giants.
I could have sworn Oracle was in Oakland.
693
00:45:52.719 --> 00:45:58.199
Yeah. And the average baseball stadium
in the MLB forty two thousand and
694
00:45:58.199 --> 00:46:00.079
six seventy five. Yeah, I
thought that. I thought that was definitely
695
00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:05.079
not. The OCLA Coliseum has the
most, however, fifty six thousand,
696
00:46:05.440 --> 00:46:07.920
seven hundred and eighty two, and
that's why they closed off that was the
697
00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:10.000
Raiders sections. That's the Raiders one
off. Yeah, they close off those
698
00:46:10.000 --> 00:46:14.039
top sections because they can't even sell
them. So that's pretty comparable to NFL.
699
00:46:14.079 --> 00:46:16.119
Then forty two is big. I
mean, obviously, what's I think
700
00:46:16.199 --> 00:46:21.159
Dallas is the biggest with like eighty
and there's like fifty sixty seven. He's
701
00:46:21.159 --> 00:46:29.920
probably in the NFL. The smallest
MLB ballpark is Progressive Field in Cleveland thirty
702
00:46:29.920 --> 00:46:36.960
four thousand, eight hundred and thirty. It's cooland stadium despite Cleveland being Cleveland,
703
00:46:37.159 --> 00:46:38.039
so you're kind of on the water. It's kind of like a it's
704
00:46:38.079 --> 00:46:40.559
kind of like San Francisco. You're
kind of on the water, you're on
705
00:46:40.599 --> 00:46:45.159
the lake. It's cool. So
Dodgers Stadium is number two if it with
706
00:46:45.239 --> 00:46:49.599
fifty six thousand because it's old.
Yeah, that's why I thought Boston would
707
00:46:49.599 --> 00:46:51.719
seat very little, just because it's
old as shit, I know, but
708
00:46:51.760 --> 00:46:54.480
the seats are tiny. I love
that stadium though. Fenway, yeah,
709
00:46:54.840 --> 00:47:00.320
thirty seven thousand and five, seven
hundred and fifty five at Fenway Way too.
710
00:47:00.920 --> 00:47:04.039
Yeah, have never actually been in
it. I've been around it.
711
00:47:04.800 --> 00:47:07.800
I did the tour there too,
tour and Washington. We had a we
712
00:47:07.840 --> 00:47:10.320
had a booth. Dude. They
took every athlete but me. That's fuck
713
00:47:10.440 --> 00:47:15.079
damn in Boston. Yeah, rebok, oh that's fuck damn fucked man.
714
00:47:15.599 --> 00:47:19.360
Fuck. They treated me amazingly and
my boys or my boys, but but
715
00:47:19.400 --> 00:47:22.000
it's fuck. It's fuck. They
brought everybody. Bro, they about everybody
716
00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:24.920
but me. Bitch. Yeah,
yeah, Shequille O'Neil, you owe me.
717
00:47:25.400 --> 00:47:30.519
Oh, I took it back what
I said. Actually, y,
718
00:47:30.239 --> 00:47:36.079
my boy choke you some money rolls. I don't think he'll sign me.
719
00:47:37.000 --> 00:47:42.199
Why not because they're over it signed
my boy. So yeah, So Oracle
720
00:47:42.239 --> 00:47:47.800
Park is mid pack. It's fifteen
out of time out of thirty. Side
721
00:47:47.840 --> 00:47:51.639
notes about I think the front door
is locked. The front door, Yeah,
722
00:47:51.920 --> 00:47:54.280
if you can just check the jam
yeah opened, I don't know,
723
00:47:54.400 --> 00:47:57.440
just check for me. Soft.
They just don't know. Have to push
724
00:47:57.440 --> 00:48:00.320
down on the hand. Maybe we
need to sign there. That's it's just
725
00:48:00.360 --> 00:48:04.559
push down hard a gym, get
strong. Push yeah, seriously, show
726
00:48:04.599 --> 00:48:09.840
your strength, use your strength,
whatever you got. Anything else I mightn't
727
00:48:09.880 --> 00:48:16.480
realize and t Oracle the AT and
T opening day was that big Giants stadium.
728
00:48:16.599 --> 00:48:20.679
Oh really, back back back back. Dad work for pack Beloteck,
729
00:48:21.559 --> 00:48:22.519
so we got a bunch of cool
ship. I still want to send in
730
00:48:22.519 --> 00:48:25.519
the band and try to catch a
baseball. That would be fun. Kayak
731
00:48:25.960 --> 00:48:29.400
a kayakers. No, I want
to boat down from here and go to
732
00:48:29.440 --> 00:48:34.800
a game. That'd be interesting another
way. Yeah, I think would be
733
00:48:34.840 --> 00:48:37.360
sick that. I think it's like
five hours. It's that crazy. You're
734
00:48:37.400 --> 00:48:40.679
just floating in the bay on a
fucking yacht try to catch a ball.
735
00:48:40.840 --> 00:48:47.159
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the
big chs hanging out there. I see
736
00:48:47.199 --> 00:48:50.920
kayaks moving for the No, for
sure, that's how you haven't seen the
737
00:48:51.679 --> 00:48:55.159
ESPN special where Klay Thompson lives in
the Oakland but he'll drive his boat to
738
00:48:55.480 --> 00:48:58.679
practice. No, I see that. But I'm talking about like, let's
739
00:48:58.679 --> 00:49:00.280
just say thing. Is it state
games right next to it? Oh?
740
00:49:00.320 --> 00:49:02.480
I don't know. You probably get
there and watch the game there though.
741
00:49:02.760 --> 00:49:07.519
Yeah, I don't know about laws. I mean, I don't know the
742
00:49:07.599 --> 00:49:10.440
laws. But if you could go
from Oakland and drive into the stadium,
743
00:49:10.519 --> 00:49:14.320
I'm sure you can go to Oakland
and then sit in the water. That's
744
00:49:14.360 --> 00:49:17.760
true. Yeah, well, the
bigger boats kind of sit a little further
745
00:49:17.840 --> 00:49:21.079
out, but yeah, yeah,
yeah, you don't want to hit rocks,
746
00:49:21.079 --> 00:49:23.760
and they don't go all the way
into the cove. The bigger boats
747
00:49:25.039 --> 00:49:29.480
sit at the mouth of the cove. Kind of perfect size boat. Need
748
00:49:29.480 --> 00:49:35.239
a one inch or or five point
whatever, five point one good thing on
749
00:49:35.320 --> 00:49:42.280
five point one eight man above average
drive. I don't want to describe what
750
00:49:42.320 --> 00:49:46.000
that was for the audio audience at
all. Or a weird kid man me,
751
00:49:46.480 --> 00:49:50.800
Yeah, you're fucking weird man.
Yeah, I feel like you got
752
00:49:50.880 --> 00:49:53.280
dropped on your head. I'm sure
your parents are amazing, but someone must
753
00:49:53.280 --> 00:49:58.840
have maybe a babysitter or something.
No, I'm not weird. You're weird.
754
00:49:59.440 --> 00:50:02.599
I'm not normal, but I'm not
weird like you. More. The
755
00:50:02.599 --> 00:50:07.199
difference is you're not normal, you're
weird, and I'm just different. This
756
00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:10.960
was a ratio. I'm like,
here, you're like that normal ratio.
757
00:50:10.960 --> 00:50:15.119
What the fuck are you talking like
a normal There's like a fucking slider scale.
758
00:50:15.159 --> 00:50:19.960
I'm in the middle, a little
bit above above normal. Yeah,
759
00:50:19.960 --> 00:50:22.360
but you're like, that's true.
So if we're talking about a sliding scale
760
00:50:22.400 --> 00:50:27.039
of negative weird, normal, and
positive. Weird. Yes, I'm way
761
00:50:27.079 --> 00:50:31.639
over here. No, you're in
the weird if we're talking about five point
762
00:50:31.800 --> 00:50:37.119
one seven and you're deep left of
that and I'm deep right of that.
763
00:50:38.840 --> 00:50:43.159
Yes, we're both. The deviation
from norm might be the same, but
764
00:50:43.199 --> 00:50:45.559
one is negative, one is positive. Yeah, I'm positive. Yeah,
765
00:50:45.639 --> 00:50:55.559
man, you can take yourself serious. Look at that seas. I'm just
766
00:50:55.639 --> 00:50:59.519
drinking my water. He kid moved
to Midtown. All he drinks is Mason
767
00:50:59.599 --> 00:51:02.559
Jars. That's all right, all
right, that's all I told him.
768
00:51:02.559 --> 00:51:06.760
I thought it was a mayonnaise jar. Yeah, that's all I'm saying that
769
00:51:06.760 --> 00:51:09.239
mayonnaise. Yes, fucked me up. We recorded a Hormosy video. I
770
00:51:09.280 --> 00:51:14.639

771
00:51:14.639 --> 00:51:16.719
brains out. He was shipping.
Yeah, some of them might have been
772
00:51:16.719 --> 00:51:20.480
the strata, I don't know.
He was talking about eating like a pound
773
00:51:20.519 --> 00:51:22.800
of shrimp for breakfast. I said, I'll do the whole Mosy video where
