Gamify PT: Can Clinics Compete Like CrossFit?
Physical therapists are short on time, long on complaints, and totally missing the point: we're in an attention economy. In this episode, Jimmy and the crew dive into:
- How RTM is "free money" and still ignored
- What ESPN's ridiculous programming can teach PT clinics
- CrossFit, Peloton, and OrangeTheory as models for gamifying outcomes
- Why most CSM booths are $20,000 toilets
- Clinic competition, trivia-style leaderboards, and The Floor is Lava: Medicare Edition
This isn't about hype. It's about attention, strategy, and clinical creativity. Want to build the PT profession's Savannah Bananas? This episode's your blueprint.

00:00:00.450 --> 00:00:02.874
I'm gonna power way too early from three
00:00:02.914 --> 00:00:04.636
separate Wi-Fi connection.
00:00:04.796 --> 00:00:08.143
It's PT Breakfast Club with Tony Meritato,
00:00:08.403 --> 00:00:10.487
Dave Kittle, and Jimmy McKay.
00:00:15.782 --> 00:00:18.042
All right, good Tuesday morning to you.
00:00:18.382 --> 00:00:19.682
Welcome back to PT Breakfast Club,
00:00:19.702 --> 00:00:22.103
where every week feels like Groundhog Day,
00:00:22.664 --> 00:00:25.304
and yet somehow reimbursement gets worse.
00:00:25.344 --> 00:00:26.664
You figure if it was the same thing
00:00:26.745 --> 00:00:27.585
over and over again,
00:00:28.025 --> 00:00:28.846
it would just stay the same,
00:00:28.865 --> 00:00:30.067
but it's not.
00:00:30.086 --> 00:00:32.106
The Groundhog popped up this week.
00:00:32.167 --> 00:00:33.527
I think we've got six more weeks of
00:00:33.588 --> 00:00:34.387
low reimbursement.
00:00:34.860 --> 00:00:35.460
Of course we do.
00:00:35.481 --> 00:00:36.902
We've got six more generations.
00:00:37.703 --> 00:00:39.984
Only if you choose lower reimbursement.
00:00:40.505 --> 00:00:41.585
Ah, we'll get into that.
00:00:42.226 --> 00:00:43.908
The Groundhog did pop up this week and
00:00:44.008 --> 00:00:44.889
saw its shadow.
00:00:44.908 --> 00:00:45.609
That's a bummer.
00:00:46.929 --> 00:00:48.551
Which means six more weeks of prior auth
00:00:48.570 --> 00:00:49.692
denials and Medicare audits.
00:00:49.731 --> 00:00:49.932
See,
00:00:50.093 --> 00:00:51.654
that's where I was going with the intro.
00:00:52.154 --> 00:00:53.115
uh but we got the fire to warm
00:00:53.134 --> 00:00:54.115
you up today i'm going to pitch an
00:00:54.195 --> 00:00:56.258
idea so wild it just might work to
00:00:56.277 --> 00:00:57.819
you this is a real idea i had
00:00:57.838 --> 00:00:59.679
a conversation with someone in our
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:01.942
profession who's doing something outside
00:01:01.981 --> 00:01:03.283
the box i'll pitch it to you tell
00:01:03.302 --> 00:01:04.524
me where it sinks and where it fails
00:01:05.004 --> 00:01:08.087
um you'll hear the pitch and then i
00:01:08.106 --> 00:01:09.447
want you to judge it live plus we
00:01:09.468 --> 00:01:11.409
got a hot proposal to shorten the dbt
00:01:11.430 --> 00:01:13.010
degree i talked to larry ben's john
00:01:13.031 --> 00:01:13.391
child's
00:01:13.951 --> 00:01:15.272
and tim flynn yesterday i'll drop that
00:01:15.293 --> 00:01:16.993
episode later today but i want to discuss
00:01:17.013 --> 00:01:20.115
that a little bit uh plus some slippery
00:01:20.135 --> 00:01:22.498
stare espn strategy stealing and a clinic
00:01:22.658 --> 00:01:24.838
owner wondering if diagnostic tools are
00:01:24.858 --> 00:01:28.260
innovation or just burnout with bluetooth
00:01:28.301 --> 00:01:30.022
today we do want to thank our newest
00:01:30.081 --> 00:01:31.903
sponsor this is going to be exciting if
00:01:31.924 --> 00:01:35.085
you're watching this on tv let's welcome
00:01:36.353 --> 00:01:37.835
Stairmaster Showdown,
00:01:37.876 --> 00:01:40.037
the first nationally televised balance and
00:01:40.078 --> 00:01:42.540
fall prevention tournament for older
00:01:42.620 --> 00:01:45.364
adults over forty watches patients compete
00:01:45.403 --> 00:01:46.706
in the Bosu Dash,
00:01:47.066 --> 00:01:49.509
the foam pad shuffle and the legendary
00:01:49.588 --> 00:01:51.150
quad burn gauntlet.
00:01:51.671 --> 00:01:53.554
One missed step and you're on your hip
00:01:53.653 --> 00:01:54.234
out of the bracket.
00:01:54.674 --> 00:01:56.817
All events supervised by licensed PTs and
00:01:56.858 --> 00:01:58.198
fueled by a copay rage.
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:00.281
Stairmaster Showdown will be on ESPN The
00:02:00.382 --> 00:02:00.783
Ocho.
00:02:01.162 --> 00:02:02.424
It's not just a fall risk.
00:02:02.545 --> 00:02:04.287
It's a ratings opportunity.
00:02:05.028 --> 00:02:06.829
This inspired by something I'll talk about
00:02:06.870 --> 00:02:07.611
in just a little bit.
00:02:07.631 --> 00:02:09.393
But first, this one's big.
00:02:10.212 --> 00:02:11.712
They're calling it back to the future.
00:02:12.633 --> 00:02:13.533
Tim Flynn, John Childs,
00:02:13.554 --> 00:02:17.175
and Larry Benz dropped a bomb just last
00:02:17.215 --> 00:02:17.435
week.
00:02:17.514 --> 00:02:20.256
Five-year DPT pathway to replace the
00:02:20.295 --> 00:02:20.915
current model.
00:02:21.015 --> 00:02:21.376
Why?
00:02:22.116 --> 00:02:23.436
Debt is choking the profession,
00:02:23.656 --> 00:02:24.776
enrollment is falling,
00:02:24.917 --> 00:02:25.877
and students are asking,
00:02:25.956 --> 00:02:27.377
is this even worth it anymore?
00:02:28.076 --> 00:02:30.078
You would think this is about academics,
00:02:30.198 --> 00:02:32.438
and all these guys have touched academics,
00:02:32.459 --> 00:02:34.338
but they're also looking at this from a
00:02:34.399 --> 00:02:35.479
business lens, which is,
00:02:35.878 --> 00:02:37.479
if there are less workers to do the
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:37.819
thing,
00:02:39.116 --> 00:02:40.137
organizations aren't going to be able to
00:02:40.176 --> 00:02:40.637
do the thing.
00:02:40.977 --> 00:02:42.758
So as much as we think we can
00:02:42.818 --> 00:02:44.840
say academics is this isolated ivory
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:46.159
tower, like no.
00:02:46.901 --> 00:02:48.521
So do you think a shorter DPT bath
00:02:48.542 --> 00:02:50.383
would actually help or would it cheapen
00:02:50.402 --> 00:02:51.143
the degree?
00:02:51.323 --> 00:02:52.364
Like, I don't know.
00:02:52.383 --> 00:02:53.344
What are your thoughts on that?
00:02:53.365 --> 00:02:56.066
They have an entire structure ready for
00:02:56.105 --> 00:02:57.447
this thing.
00:02:57.526 --> 00:02:58.367
I think it would help.
00:02:58.487 --> 00:03:00.408
And I think they have the resources to
00:03:00.449 --> 00:03:01.248
make it happen.
00:03:01.569 --> 00:03:03.431
Like we can say it as much as
00:03:03.471 --> 00:03:03.811
we want.
00:03:03.830 --> 00:03:04.550
It doesn't matter.
00:03:05.092 --> 00:03:07.032
They actually have the levers to pull.
00:03:08.336 --> 00:03:10.176
You got three guys who are in academics
00:03:10.237 --> 00:03:10.617
industry.
00:03:10.677 --> 00:03:12.558
I remember I said this, I think,
00:03:12.579 --> 00:03:14.221
during the interview I recorded yesterday
00:03:14.640 --> 00:03:17.362
that I will drop later on today that
00:03:17.704 --> 00:03:18.563
I was doing interviews.
00:03:18.743 --> 00:03:20.346
I think my first or second CSM.
00:03:20.466 --> 00:03:22.987
And I remember John Childs walked by and
00:03:23.008 --> 00:03:24.449
there was a big group around him.
00:03:24.929 --> 00:03:25.750
And I was, of course, like,
00:03:25.770 --> 00:03:26.730
I don't know who's that dude.
00:03:26.871 --> 00:03:27.771
I'm a student.
00:03:27.812 --> 00:03:28.853
And they're like, that's John Childs.
00:03:28.913 --> 00:03:29.532
Don't talk to him.
00:03:29.552 --> 00:03:30.234
He does weird stuff.
00:03:30.854 --> 00:03:32.656
And in my brain, I go, cool.
00:03:33.075 --> 00:03:34.456
That makes me want to talk to him.
00:03:34.477 --> 00:03:35.919
And I was like, what's the weird stuff?
00:03:35.938 --> 00:03:36.258
And they're like,
00:03:36.598 --> 00:03:38.800
he wants to try to shorten the school
00:03:39.020 --> 00:03:40.181
from three years to two years.
00:03:40.201 --> 00:03:41.423
And I was in my second or third
00:03:41.443 --> 00:03:41.584
year.
00:03:41.604 --> 00:03:41.943
And I was like,
00:03:42.204 --> 00:03:44.145
that feels like a good idea because I'd
00:03:44.165 --> 00:03:45.326
already be out of school by now.
00:03:46.268 --> 00:03:47.247
They have this entire...
00:03:47.808 --> 00:03:49.811
This is going to be a series of
00:03:49.911 --> 00:03:50.330
articles.
00:03:50.350 --> 00:03:51.171
They're going to lay this out.
00:03:51.551 --> 00:03:52.953
But this is sort of what it looks
00:03:53.013 --> 00:03:53.313
like.
00:03:53.713 --> 00:03:54.615
And they've mapped it out.
00:03:54.935 --> 00:03:55.134
I mean...
00:03:56.433 --> 00:03:57.734
if you're going to go at Larry Benz
00:03:57.753 --> 00:03:59.395
with a counter idea or why this won't
00:03:59.435 --> 00:04:00.655
work, like be prepared.
00:04:00.854 --> 00:04:03.415
Like dude comes with citations, receipts,
00:04:03.915 --> 00:04:05.056
the entire, the whole night.
00:04:05.096 --> 00:04:06.836
He even has, uh,
00:04:06.855 --> 00:04:10.197
the return on investment is a point nine.
00:04:10.217 --> 00:04:10.537
He said,
00:04:10.556 --> 00:04:13.777
that's the worst professional collegiate
00:04:13.798 --> 00:04:15.258
degree outside of a few.
00:04:15.557 --> 00:04:16.418
He didn't want to name them.
00:04:16.478 --> 00:04:17.678
I would like theology,
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:19.858
like gets like a lower ROI,
00:04:19.899 --> 00:04:20.999
but you kind of don't do it in
00:04:21.019 --> 00:04:22.319
a theology to make bank.
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:23.680
I mean, I guess you could, um,
00:04:24.660 --> 00:04:26.461
what do we lose if we cut a
00:04:26.521 --> 00:04:28.502
year off of it if any i don't
00:04:28.521 --> 00:04:30.302
know even some of the academics were like
00:04:30.322 --> 00:04:32.103
i don't know not a whole lot but
00:04:32.124 --> 00:04:34.365
what do we lose i mean you probably
00:04:34.425 --> 00:04:35.605
you probably lose some of the advanced
00:04:35.625 --> 00:04:38.247
stuff like pharmacology or maybe a little
00:04:38.267 --> 00:04:40.569
less differential diagnosis or well you
00:04:40.709 --> 00:04:41.629
you think all that's going to be in
00:04:41.649 --> 00:04:45.050
the undergrad part or the how how much
00:04:45.211 --> 00:04:46.831
how much can you fit in uh if
00:04:47.492 --> 00:04:49.194
it so we're talking if if someone has
00:04:49.233 --> 00:04:49.574
like the
00:04:50.608 --> 00:04:52.394
they go to either the three year to
00:04:52.434 --> 00:04:52.875
three year.
00:04:52.896 --> 00:04:54.339
So then it would be five total or
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:56.745
it would be undergrad and then the three
00:04:56.766 --> 00:04:57.348
year DPT.
00:04:57.387 --> 00:04:58.471
So instead of three, it's two.
00:04:59.300 --> 00:05:00.540
Yeah.
00:05:00.581 --> 00:05:01.081
So they're saying like,
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:02.922
make it five years going straight through
00:05:02.942 --> 00:05:02.982
it.
00:05:03.341 --> 00:05:04.521
I'll bring that graphic back up.
00:05:04.601 --> 00:05:05.221
I flicked it off.
00:05:06.281 --> 00:05:06.661
Assuming,
00:05:06.781 --> 00:05:09.223
assuming the student wants to commit and
00:05:09.343 --> 00:05:10.663
make that decision when they're seventeen,
00:05:10.682 --> 00:05:11.642
eighteen years old coming out of high
00:05:11.663 --> 00:05:12.523
school, which is what I did.
00:05:12.543 --> 00:05:13.944
But some people get into it and they're
00:05:13.963 --> 00:05:14.564
like, oh, my gosh,
00:05:14.584 --> 00:05:15.704
this is not what I thought it would
00:05:15.723 --> 00:05:15.863
be.
00:05:15.963 --> 00:05:16.843
So really,
00:05:16.963 --> 00:05:18.944
really talking about is that really
00:05:18.963 --> 00:05:21.264
talking about the DPT, the three year,
00:05:21.545 --> 00:05:22.584
you know, over the summer,
00:05:22.625 --> 00:05:24.704
like nonstop instead of that being three
00:05:24.725 --> 00:05:26.406
years total, cutting it to two years.
00:05:26.425 --> 00:05:28.026
Is that just to get clarity on where
00:05:28.045 --> 00:05:28.146
we're
00:05:28.245 --> 00:05:28.665
Correct.
00:05:28.685 --> 00:05:28.766
Yeah.
00:05:28.826 --> 00:05:30.127
Transitioning to three years of
00:05:30.206 --> 00:05:31.107
undergraduate study,
00:05:31.166 --> 00:05:32.507
two years of graduate work.
00:05:32.548 --> 00:05:33.627
And you can see that in the bottom
00:05:33.668 --> 00:05:34.507
there underneath the bridge.
00:05:34.528 --> 00:05:36.228
This is infographic I made from Notebook
00:05:36.329 --> 00:05:36.548
LM.
00:05:37.550 --> 00:05:39.009
The reasoning being on the left,
00:05:39.129 --> 00:05:40.310
enrollment is going down.
00:05:40.471 --> 00:05:42.211
You're also going to see a,
00:05:42.291 --> 00:05:44.271
what they call it, a demographics cliff.
00:05:45.533 --> 00:05:47.494
There's just going to be less people of
00:05:47.533 --> 00:05:48.194
college age,
00:05:48.274 --> 00:05:49.394
nevermind what they're choosing.
00:05:49.413 --> 00:05:50.935
There will be, there is a, you know,
00:05:50.954 --> 00:05:52.074
we can track these things,
00:05:52.095 --> 00:05:53.055
which I never thought about, right?
00:05:53.076 --> 00:05:53.896
There's just going to be a bunch of
00:05:53.956 --> 00:05:55.997
less, a group of less,
00:05:57.290 --> 00:05:58.149
Less people coming.
00:05:59.170 --> 00:06:01.831
So less people from the applicant pool to
00:06:02.331 --> 00:06:03.172
even choose from.
00:06:03.791 --> 00:06:04.512
Here's the best part.
00:06:04.533 --> 00:06:05.733
If you see over on the right side,
00:06:05.773 --> 00:06:07.374
just under five-year proposed pathway,
00:06:07.394 --> 00:06:08.394
if you're watching a live stream,
00:06:09.194 --> 00:06:11.875
this is successful in other countries.
00:06:12.576 --> 00:06:13.716
Larry's even saying,
00:06:14.036 --> 00:06:15.877
I'm not inventing this.
00:06:16.016 --> 00:06:18.358
I'm just saying, hey, look at nursing.
00:06:18.418 --> 00:06:19.017
Look at this.
00:06:19.077 --> 00:06:19.958
Look at this country.
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:21.718
These things are being done successfully.
00:06:22.238 --> 00:06:22.319
Yeah.
00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:26.021
I think the position assistant degree is
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:26.380
two years.
00:06:27.059 --> 00:06:27.439
Correct.
00:06:27.559 --> 00:06:30.000
I was doing my lifeguarding as my
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:31.439
prerequisite when I was taking my prereqs
00:06:31.459 --> 00:06:33.259
before between radio and PT school.
00:06:33.860 --> 00:06:36.480
And I had lifeguard led Tower Forty-One in
00:06:36.521 --> 00:06:37.201
North Myrtle Beach.
00:06:37.221 --> 00:06:38.860
I remember there was a PA there and
00:06:38.901 --> 00:06:41.622
his family renting a house for a week.
00:06:41.802 --> 00:06:43.781
And the key was on Sunday, Monday,
00:06:43.802 --> 00:06:44.862
when the people move in,
00:06:45.062 --> 00:06:46.523
make friends and they bring you food and
00:06:46.543 --> 00:06:46.882
snacks.
00:06:47.182 --> 00:06:48.163
So I would make friends with people.
00:06:48.603 --> 00:06:50.983
And he was like, what's your story, man?
00:06:51.182 --> 00:06:51.584
And I'm like,
00:06:51.603 --> 00:06:52.783
I'm going to be a physical therapist.
00:06:52.824 --> 00:06:53.644
And he was like...
00:06:54.314 --> 00:06:54.935
Be a PA.
00:06:55.516 --> 00:06:56.476
One year less of school.
00:06:57.358 --> 00:06:57.978
I'll hire you.
00:06:57.999 --> 00:06:59.139
He's like, I'll hire you right now.
00:06:59.160 --> 00:06:59.740
You're a hustler.
00:07:01.482 --> 00:07:02.603
Have oversight forever.
00:07:02.723 --> 00:07:04.225
Not be able to really open your practice
00:07:04.324 --> 00:07:04.904
if you wanted to.
00:07:04.925 --> 00:07:08.528
I mean, you can, but not easy.
00:07:08.548 --> 00:07:09.870
Ben Wade in undergrad will have to be
00:07:09.889 --> 00:07:12.413
willing to remove most of the BS fluff
00:07:12.452 --> 00:07:13.112
core curriculum,
00:07:13.132 --> 00:07:14.334
which should be all majors.
00:07:14.454 --> 00:07:14.735
Yes.
00:07:15.735 --> 00:07:16.576
Mary addressed this.
00:07:17.487 --> 00:07:19.069
Can I just make a quick comment that,
00:07:19.149 --> 00:07:19.428
you know,
00:07:19.588 --> 00:07:21.851
I love anything that almost anything that
00:07:21.872 --> 00:07:23.913
Larry puts out and I'm always going to
00:07:23.934 --> 00:07:24.714
be receptive to it.
00:07:24.774 --> 00:07:25.175
However,
00:07:25.214 --> 00:07:26.516
we're talking about taking something
00:07:26.536 --> 00:07:27.877
that's three years and cutting it down to
00:07:27.918 --> 00:07:28.298
two years.
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:30.221
So we're talking about something that
00:07:30.281 --> 00:07:32.463
people are paying for and it's
00:07:32.562 --> 00:07:34.324
Are we also saying it's going to be
00:07:34.504 --> 00:07:35.605
thirty three percent cheaper?
00:07:35.646 --> 00:07:36.607
It's going to are we saying it's going
00:07:36.627 --> 00:07:37.668
to be one third cheaper?
00:07:37.968 --> 00:07:39.689
Do you think that do you think all
00:07:39.709 --> 00:07:41.411
the DPT programs across the country are
00:07:41.451 --> 00:07:43.593
going to with their committees and their
00:07:43.612 --> 00:07:44.634
board meetings and all that and say,
00:07:44.713 --> 00:07:45.675
all right, moving forward,
00:07:45.694 --> 00:07:47.495
we're going to choose a route where we
00:07:47.555 --> 00:07:51.338
now have thirty three percent less revenue
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:54.442
from our DPT students and our DPT program.
00:07:54.461 --> 00:07:55.923
Do you think that that is what they
00:07:55.963 --> 00:07:56.144
want?
00:07:56.163 --> 00:07:57.365
Do you think that's what they care about?
00:07:57.880 --> 00:07:58.401
Right.
00:07:58.480 --> 00:07:59.562
Well, here's the problem.
00:07:59.622 --> 00:08:01.923
And here's the lever that Larry mentions.
00:08:01.942 --> 00:08:02.343
Because again,
00:08:02.403 --> 00:08:03.543
these guys aren't looking at it in one
00:08:03.564 --> 00:08:04.324
direction like me.
00:08:04.584 --> 00:08:05.764
They're looking at it in three sixty
00:08:06.685 --> 00:08:07.365
clinical sites.
00:08:07.646 --> 00:08:09.548
So if industry starts saying, oh, yeah,
00:08:10.507 --> 00:08:11.588
we can't hire anybody.
00:08:11.649 --> 00:08:12.569
So we're going to start we're going to
00:08:12.588 --> 00:08:13.910
stop taking clinical sites that you can't
00:08:13.949 --> 00:08:14.769
graduate students.
00:08:15.071 --> 00:08:17.651
So there are things that large
00:08:17.732 --> 00:08:19.773
organizations and small organizations can
00:08:19.793 --> 00:08:20.333
start to do.
00:08:23.523 --> 00:08:25.545
Why would they have less clinical sites
00:08:25.584 --> 00:08:26.786
because they can't hire?
00:08:28.048 --> 00:08:32.993
They want that free labor as a DBT
00:08:33.033 --> 00:08:33.513
student.
00:08:35.696 --> 00:08:37.538
Even if I'm still taking the students,
00:08:37.557 --> 00:08:38.379
and of course, yes,
00:08:38.499 --> 00:08:41.061
we want this thing where everybody wins.
00:08:42.342 --> 00:08:43.943
Schools are churning out great students.
00:08:45.085 --> 00:08:46.225
There are clinical sites for them to
00:08:46.265 --> 00:08:47.466
become great therapists.
00:08:47.947 --> 00:08:49.227
But if there are less therapists,
00:08:49.768 --> 00:08:51.089
what Larry is saying, and again,
00:08:51.129 --> 00:08:52.309
they say it way better than me,
00:08:52.870 --> 00:08:54.551
which is you would need coordination
00:08:54.571 --> 00:08:56.091
between industry to say,
00:08:56.832 --> 00:08:57.974
we now need to talk,
00:08:59.114 --> 00:09:00.735
not schools and companies,
00:09:01.515 --> 00:09:03.576
industry and academia.
00:09:03.657 --> 00:09:04.817
We got to come to a table here
00:09:04.837 --> 00:09:05.839
because we got a problem.
00:09:06.570 --> 00:09:09.172
we're subsidizing your students or we're
00:09:09.192 --> 00:09:10.513
not getting enough to actually run the
00:09:10.533 --> 00:09:10.813
business.
00:09:10.994 --> 00:09:11.914
There's not going to be a profession
00:09:11.934 --> 00:09:12.195
anymore.
00:09:12.554 --> 00:09:13.676
This was going to be a topic that
00:09:13.716 --> 00:09:14.317
I talked about.
00:09:14.897 --> 00:09:16.217
I think we sort of alluded to it.
00:09:16.337 --> 00:09:19.461
Is there going to be a PT profession
00:09:19.921 --> 00:09:21.302
in five, ten years?
00:09:21.682 --> 00:09:23.725
I think I made a stupid remark about
00:09:23.764 --> 00:09:24.725
this a year or two ago where I
00:09:24.745 --> 00:09:27.587
go, what if you just Voltroned PT,
00:09:27.628 --> 00:09:30.370
physiatry, OT, athletic training,
00:09:30.470 --> 00:09:30.990
and you were like,
00:09:31.091 --> 00:09:32.251
that's a rehab profession.
00:09:32.918 --> 00:09:34.318
Voltron, whatever that is,
00:09:34.659 --> 00:09:36.140
is that easier than it is these little
00:09:36.181 --> 00:09:37.562
turf wars, right?
00:09:37.962 --> 00:09:39.144
So what Larry's saying is we want to
00:09:39.163 --> 00:09:40.684
have PT in a couple of years.
00:09:40.764 --> 00:09:41.846
Like what if we just took the best
00:09:41.885 --> 00:09:43.847
parts of all of them and mashed it
00:09:43.888 --> 00:09:44.368
together?
00:09:46.269 --> 00:09:47.410
So I don't know if I can answer
00:09:47.431 --> 00:09:48.011
these questions,
00:09:48.131 --> 00:09:49.712
but I'm going to bring Larry and John
00:09:49.953 --> 00:09:53.277
and Tim back on the show a couple
00:09:53.297 --> 00:09:53.517
of times.
00:09:54.096 --> 00:09:54.378
Yeah.
00:09:55.077 --> 00:09:56.239
I think there are a couple of interesting
00:09:56.318 --> 00:09:56.958
elements here.
00:09:57.038 --> 00:09:58.279
So to Dave's point,
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:01.260
I think Jimmy is saying the graduate
00:10:01.280 --> 00:10:02.902
program would still be three years.
00:10:02.922 --> 00:10:05.023
So you're not losing that tuition.
00:10:05.143 --> 00:10:06.524
It's not going to be thirty three percent
00:10:06.563 --> 00:10:08.365
cheaper because you're still keeping the
00:10:08.404 --> 00:10:08.924
three years.
00:10:09.284 --> 00:10:11.086
It's the undergrad programs that would be
00:10:11.145 --> 00:10:13.567
giving up some of that time.
00:10:14.008 --> 00:10:15.727
Now, I know when I went through school,
00:10:15.828 --> 00:10:18.789
this was two thousand twenty three.
00:10:20.571 --> 00:10:22.511
What made the decision for me was who
00:10:22.572 --> 00:10:24.653
had the quickest path to graduation.
00:10:25.456 --> 00:10:27.379
I applied to like five programs.
00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:28.880
I think I got into three.
00:10:29.501 --> 00:10:31.124
One of them had the quickest path,
00:10:31.163 --> 00:10:32.245
and that's the one that I took.
00:10:33.106 --> 00:10:34.369
I didn't take summer off.
00:10:34.428 --> 00:10:36.692
I didn't waste time with other stuff.
00:10:38.475 --> 00:10:39.255
But the other part,
00:10:39.296 --> 00:10:41.437
Jimmy shared a post recently and I was
00:10:41.476 --> 00:10:42.456
trying to think about this.
00:10:42.496 --> 00:10:43.357
We were talking about like,
00:10:43.398 --> 00:10:45.018
what's the one thing that can provide the
00:10:45.038 --> 00:10:46.938
biggest impact to the profession moving
00:10:46.958 --> 00:10:47.479
forward?
00:10:47.839 --> 00:10:49.340
What do we have control over?
00:10:49.779 --> 00:10:51.240
And I was like thinking to myself,
00:10:51.299 --> 00:10:52.921
what if we just changed who we were
00:10:52.980 --> 00:10:54.461
trying to bring into the profession?
00:10:54.520 --> 00:10:57.481
What if we let go of this idea
00:10:57.522 --> 00:10:59.903
that it's gotta be this kid in his
00:10:59.942 --> 00:11:01.683
twenties who wants to help people
00:11:02.344 --> 00:11:03.945
And we looked at people like us.
00:11:04.024 --> 00:11:06.447
What if we looked at post-professional?
00:11:06.506 --> 00:11:09.129
These are men and women who have already
00:11:09.168 --> 00:11:10.230
achieved success.
00:11:10.289 --> 00:11:12.150
Maybe their kids are out of the house.
00:11:13.111 --> 00:11:15.013
They're looking for something to do.
00:11:15.553 --> 00:11:18.495
What if we focused attracting fifty year
00:11:18.576 --> 00:11:20.576
olds into the profession of physical
00:11:20.616 --> 00:11:21.097
therapy?
00:11:21.557 --> 00:11:23.219
They already have a bachelor's degree.
00:11:23.278 --> 00:11:25.000
Most likely they already have some
00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:26.841
post-secondary education.
00:11:26.981 --> 00:11:28.322
We make the path easier.
00:11:28.962 --> 00:11:30.663
And now they're coming in for a second
00:11:30.683 --> 00:11:31.044
career.
00:11:31.746 --> 00:11:33.827
And so I think that they don't have
00:11:33.888 --> 00:11:35.729
the financial restrictions that a twenty
00:11:35.769 --> 00:11:36.710
year old would have.
00:11:36.789 --> 00:11:38.289
They've proven, you know,
00:11:38.370 --> 00:11:40.591
that like they can do whatever they're
00:11:40.631 --> 00:11:41.152
going to do.
00:11:42.552 --> 00:11:44.053
It would change the culture of the
00:11:44.114 --> 00:11:44.774
profession.
00:11:44.813 --> 00:11:46.434
And I think it would bring a nuance
00:11:46.475 --> 00:11:48.775
to it that we don't necessarily have right
00:11:48.836 --> 00:11:49.135
now.
00:11:49.716 --> 00:11:50.557
Just food for thought.
00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:53.259
I like it.
00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:53.399
I mean,
00:11:53.419 --> 00:11:55.322
are you saying to clinicians or for owners
00:11:55.341 --> 00:11:58.344
or just are you saying like that would
00:11:58.384 --> 00:12:00.966
be the profession owners or clinicians,
00:12:01.485 --> 00:12:03.226
not owners, staff, clinicians,
00:12:03.267 --> 00:12:05.408
people who want to treat people who are
00:12:05.448 --> 00:12:07.830
looking like, again, I am sitting here.
00:12:08.291 --> 00:12:10.011
My youngest is in seventh grade.
00:12:10.652 --> 00:12:12.333
within five years,
00:12:12.575 --> 00:12:14.116
everybody's gonna be out of the house.
00:12:14.636 --> 00:12:15.938
Now I have a business,
00:12:15.958 --> 00:12:17.019
but if I didn't,
00:12:17.961 --> 00:12:20.004
I'm gonna be looking for things to do.
00:12:20.124 --> 00:12:22.807
And if I want a profession that I
00:12:22.847 --> 00:12:24.570
take all of the good out of physical
00:12:24.590 --> 00:12:27.592
therapy, I can interact, I can socialize,
00:12:27.693 --> 00:12:29.215
I can make a change in somebody.
00:12:30.196 --> 00:12:34.817
And I just don't have the financial
00:12:34.876 --> 00:12:35.277
pressures.
00:12:35.317 --> 00:12:36.937
I don't need to buy my first house.
00:12:37.357 --> 00:12:39.038
I don't need to, I'm not going to,
00:12:39.057 --> 00:12:40.639
we're not going to have more kids.
00:12:41.119 --> 00:12:43.700
Like those are the things that are really
00:12:43.740 --> 00:12:45.779
challenging for a younger person coming
00:12:45.820 --> 00:12:47.860
into the profession that an older person
00:12:48.221 --> 00:12:49.000
doesn't have.
00:12:49.710 --> 00:12:51.171
I can't remember which one of the three
00:12:51.230 --> 00:12:52.350
said it, but they said like,
00:12:52.410 --> 00:12:53.331
why aren't we like, you know,
00:12:53.451 --> 00:12:56.172
I think it was Tim was saying like,
00:12:56.231 --> 00:12:57.673
we need to be recruiting bartenders.
00:12:57.712 --> 00:13:00.913
Like we need retail and food service.
00:13:00.953 --> 00:13:02.475
He's like, I, that, that can pass.
00:13:02.495 --> 00:13:02.754
Amen.
00:13:03.095 --> 00:13:04.934
Amen.
00:13:05.375 --> 00:13:06.796
He's like, the problem is you're,
00:13:06.916 --> 00:13:08.616
you're recruiting people who then get out
00:13:08.636 --> 00:13:09.037
and they're like,
00:13:09.236 --> 00:13:12.357
I'd have no entrepreneurial or background
00:13:12.437 --> 00:13:13.057
or desire.
00:13:13.077 --> 00:13:13.597
And that's okay.
00:13:13.618 --> 00:13:13.798
He's like,
00:13:13.818 --> 00:13:15.798
but the problem is we need that or
00:13:16.139 --> 00:13:17.039
we won't be a profession.
00:13:17.100 --> 00:13:17.779
Dave, what were you going to say?
00:13:19.385 --> 00:13:19.966
Historically,
00:13:20.005 --> 00:13:21.626
the physical therapy degree and most other
00:13:21.667 --> 00:13:24.068
degrees, it went from a I mean,
00:13:24.109 --> 00:13:25.188
I'm sure at some point it was like
00:13:25.208 --> 00:13:26.789
whatever, like a certificate or whatever.
00:13:26.850 --> 00:13:28.331
And then eventually it became a bachelor's
00:13:28.370 --> 00:13:28.730
degree.
00:13:29.270 --> 00:13:31.773
And then in the maybe late nineties,
00:13:31.812 --> 00:13:33.933
two thousands at some point in most of
00:13:33.953 --> 00:13:34.274
the schools,
00:13:34.313 --> 00:13:35.754
a transition from a bachelor's to a
00:13:35.774 --> 00:13:36.215
master's.
00:13:36.936 --> 00:13:39.777
And then in the in the two thousands
00:13:39.817 --> 00:13:40.677
or the twenty tens,
00:13:40.697 --> 00:13:42.999
there was kind of like this transition to
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:44.379
the degree.
00:13:45.381 --> 00:13:48.864
And now are we so we're going to
00:13:48.943 --> 00:13:50.725
retain the same terminal degree is what
00:13:50.745 --> 00:13:51.245
we're talking about.
00:13:51.285 --> 00:13:51.446
Right.
00:13:51.466 --> 00:13:52.746
So it's still be the DPT,
00:13:53.147 --> 00:13:54.847
but less but but less school,
00:13:54.947 --> 00:13:55.788
but less schooling.
00:13:56.990 --> 00:14:00.351
I just with with how universities and
00:14:00.912 --> 00:14:01.712
institutions are.
00:14:03.436 --> 00:14:03.735
Of course,
00:14:04.897 --> 00:14:06.239
they want to keep the same tuition and
00:14:06.259 --> 00:14:07.740
they'll say to us and they'll say to
00:14:08.020 --> 00:14:09.523
Larry Benz and all that, sure,
00:14:09.543 --> 00:14:11.284
we'll keep the same tuition and we'll make
00:14:11.325 --> 00:14:13.687
it shorter because they actually will now
00:14:13.706 --> 00:14:14.508
have more profit.
00:14:15.068 --> 00:14:17.471
Their costs are already covered and
00:14:17.731 --> 00:14:19.813
they're not going to ever, ever...
00:14:20.674 --> 00:14:21.615
decrease tuition.
00:14:22.035 --> 00:14:23.076
So let's talk about that.
00:14:23.336 --> 00:14:25.278
If even if I was a new grad
00:14:25.318 --> 00:14:25.879
coming in,
00:14:26.620 --> 00:14:28.761
I got a option for a five year
00:14:29.383 --> 00:14:30.283
terminal degree,
00:14:30.903 --> 00:14:32.586
I get out a year or two sooner,
00:14:33.105 --> 00:14:34.868
I start earning an income a year or
00:14:34.908 --> 00:14:35.587
two sooner,
00:14:36.028 --> 00:14:38.551
I will gladly pay the same tuition as
00:14:38.571 --> 00:14:40.052
somebody who's going to sit in school for
00:14:40.131 --> 00:14:40.972
seven years.
00:14:41.533 --> 00:14:43.335
I don't care if it's not cheaper,
00:14:43.495 --> 00:14:45.417
if I can get out two years quicker.
00:14:45.897 --> 00:14:47.938
and start earning an income that will
00:14:47.979 --> 00:14:50.900
raise the value of the degree so that
00:14:51.041 --> 00:14:51.321
I will.
00:14:51.681 --> 00:14:52.981
It's the same thing we talk about in
00:14:53.001 --> 00:14:53.462
the clinic.
00:14:53.923 --> 00:14:55.183
You get me into a clinic.
00:14:55.484 --> 00:14:57.225
You make me better in ten minutes instead
00:14:57.265 --> 00:14:57.966
of sixty minutes.
00:14:58.066 --> 00:14:59.767
I will pay you the same rate as
00:14:59.807 --> 00:15:02.629
the sixty minute therapist because I get
00:15:02.690 --> 00:15:06.832
an extra fifty minutes of free time back.
00:15:07.133 --> 00:15:08.734
Yeah, this just came to mind.
00:15:08.833 --> 00:15:11.655
Who do we piss off when rehab aids
00:15:11.735 --> 00:15:12.456
became a thing?
00:15:13.760 --> 00:15:14.441
You know what I mean?
00:15:16.043 --> 00:15:16.984
Who'd we unseat?
00:15:17.063 --> 00:15:17.364
Nothing?
00:15:17.384 --> 00:15:18.806
Were we a category creator?
00:15:19.105 --> 00:15:21.869
There was nothing before Rehab Aids.
00:15:21.928 --> 00:15:23.009
I don't think there was anything.
00:15:23.410 --> 00:15:25.091
People just sat in hospital beds and
00:15:25.293 --> 00:15:27.054
traction and it was bed rest.
00:15:27.335 --> 00:15:28.596
The treatment was bed rest.
00:15:29.017 --> 00:15:30.158
It's Reconstruction Aids.
00:15:30.498 --> 00:15:31.038
That's what it was.
00:15:31.077 --> 00:15:31.258
Sorry.
00:15:31.317 --> 00:15:31.859
Reconstruction.
00:15:31.918 --> 00:15:32.458
It's my bad.
00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:33.219
I didn't know my history.
00:15:33.239 --> 00:15:34.480
All right.
00:15:35.860 --> 00:15:37.041
So listen to this.
00:15:37.061 --> 00:15:38.181
This is a great forward tease.
00:15:38.201 --> 00:15:38.900
Listen to the episode.
00:15:38.921 --> 00:15:40.542
I'll drop that at noon today just after
00:15:40.562 --> 00:15:41.461
we get off the air here.
00:15:42.182 --> 00:15:43.163
And it's not going to be the last
00:15:43.182 --> 00:15:43.863
time you're going to hear.
00:15:44.302 --> 00:15:44.764
Larry's like,
00:15:44.923 --> 00:15:46.224
this is going to be a five-part series.
00:15:46.504 --> 00:15:48.085
And again, Larry,
00:15:48.225 --> 00:15:49.144
it's not like he doesn't have any skin
00:15:49.164 --> 00:15:50.066
in the game, but Larry's like,
00:15:50.125 --> 00:15:51.005
he's moved on to dental.
00:15:51.105 --> 00:15:51.426
And he's like,
00:15:51.446 --> 00:15:52.606
I'm seeing the same problem in dental.
00:15:53.386 --> 00:15:55.187
These are guys who don't have to be
00:15:55.268 --> 00:15:56.447
solving this for their future.
00:15:56.548 --> 00:15:57.148
They do not.
00:15:57.187 --> 00:15:58.448
Like these guys are, they don't.
00:15:59.548 --> 00:16:00.869
They're looking at this going, hey,
00:16:00.908 --> 00:16:01.469
everybody.
00:16:01.609 --> 00:16:03.450
These guys are the canaries in the coal
00:16:03.470 --> 00:16:03.649
mine,
00:16:03.690 --> 00:16:04.931
although these guys are not canaries.
00:16:06.471 --> 00:16:09.852
What's a louder bird that is squawking and
00:16:09.952 --> 00:16:12.073
warning us that stuff's going on?
00:16:12.234 --> 00:16:13.075
An eagle or a hawk?
00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:14.721
They're doing something,
00:16:14.740 --> 00:16:16.121
but they're squawking.
00:16:16.542 --> 00:16:18.503
But not as loud for this game.
00:16:18.543 --> 00:16:20.163
Could you imagine?
00:16:20.264 --> 00:16:21.985
Here's a revenue generator.
00:16:22.426 --> 00:16:25.267
Want to thank Dodgeball for discharges for
00:16:25.326 --> 00:16:26.207
sponsoring the show.
00:16:26.528 --> 00:16:28.469
The new gold standard and PT discharge
00:16:28.509 --> 00:16:28.990
testing.
00:16:29.049 --> 00:16:31.431
Forget subjective reports or functional
00:16:31.510 --> 00:16:32.172
hop tests.
00:16:35.274 --> 00:16:37.136
cue up some limp biscuit and throw them
00:16:37.157 --> 00:16:39.038
into a dodge ball arena to see if
00:16:39.058 --> 00:16:40.399
they're ready for return to life.
00:16:40.740 --> 00:16:42.001
Reactive agility,
00:16:42.121 --> 00:16:43.964
check cardiovascular capacity,
00:16:44.063 --> 00:16:45.806
check emotional processing from their
00:16:45.846 --> 00:16:46.586
middle school trauma.
00:16:47.475 --> 00:16:48.174
Remains to be seen.
00:16:48.534 --> 00:16:50.436
Dodgeball for discharges because if they
00:16:50.655 --> 00:16:51.376
dodge a ball,
00:16:51.657 --> 00:16:54.197
they can probably navigate a Costco
00:16:54.258 --> 00:16:54.918
parking lot.
00:16:54.998 --> 00:16:56.298
Dodgeball for discharges.
00:16:56.379 --> 00:16:57.859
All these are inspired by something I'll
00:16:57.879 --> 00:16:58.620
talk about a little bit.
00:16:59.059 --> 00:17:00.880
So here's the pitch that I teased.
00:17:00.941 --> 00:17:02.201
I won't say the name of it yet,
00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:03.542
but I had this conversation with this.
00:17:04.122 --> 00:17:04.561
I like him.
00:17:04.582 --> 00:17:05.001
I don't know.
00:17:05.021 --> 00:17:06.262
We just met this young PT.
00:17:07.383 --> 00:17:10.724
The organization wants to standardize MSK
00:17:10.805 --> 00:17:11.325
testing.
00:17:11.484 --> 00:17:13.905
Essentially, they want to become...
00:17:15.516 --> 00:17:16.957
I'll say the name at the end.
00:17:17.336 --> 00:17:19.117
I'm pitching a business on their behalf.
00:17:19.178 --> 00:17:20.738
I'm going to throw it down Shark Tank
00:17:20.778 --> 00:17:21.498
style-ish.
00:17:21.878 --> 00:17:22.699
And then you tell me like,
00:17:22.719 --> 00:17:24.058
I don't know if I see it or
00:17:24.098 --> 00:17:24.420
whatever.
00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:26.961
So this organization wants to standardize
00:17:27.101 --> 00:17:27.820
MSK testing,
00:17:27.901 --> 00:17:31.201
essentially become the quest diagnostics
00:17:31.281 --> 00:17:31.923
of PT.
00:17:32.282 --> 00:17:34.123
Instead of you having to have all these
00:17:34.523 --> 00:17:38.744
crazy force plates or whatever in your lab
00:17:38.765 --> 00:17:39.885
and then know how to use them,
00:17:40.586 --> 00:17:42.166
This would be, in my mind,
00:17:42.747 --> 00:17:44.587
it had to be city-based because you'd have
00:17:44.607 --> 00:17:45.269
to have enough clinics.
00:17:45.628 --> 00:17:47.890
You would pay a yearly fee and then
00:17:47.970 --> 00:17:50.632
you would send all appropriate evals for
00:17:50.672 --> 00:17:52.792
this lab testing.
00:17:52.853 --> 00:17:54.453
And then the people there would be trained
00:17:54.473 --> 00:17:55.474
in how to actually get that.
00:17:55.994 --> 00:17:57.375
The report would be sent back to you
00:17:57.415 --> 00:17:57.875
as the PT.
00:17:59.016 --> 00:18:00.375
And you would then read the results and
00:18:00.395 --> 00:18:01.435
then plan accordingly.
00:18:01.816 --> 00:18:02.757
You refer patients,
00:18:02.876 --> 00:18:04.116
they do the testing protocol,
00:18:04.477 --> 00:18:06.436
send back a clean report, objective data,
00:18:06.517 --> 00:18:07.436
third-party testing,
00:18:07.817 --> 00:18:09.357
insurance-friendly formats.
00:18:09.718 --> 00:18:12.978
So is this a good idea, bad idea?
00:18:12.998 --> 00:18:14.618
I believe the cost was between ten and
00:18:14.638 --> 00:18:17.278
twelve thousand dollars per clinic per
00:18:17.358 --> 00:18:17.739
year.
00:18:18.098 --> 00:18:19.219
So you're paying a thousand dollars a
00:18:19.259 --> 00:18:21.599
month to send as many patients as you
00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:23.259
want right now because they just want as
00:18:23.299 --> 00:18:24.160
many people through the door.
00:18:24.579 --> 00:18:26.560
I imagine this would change like there'll
00:18:26.580 --> 00:18:27.780
be a cap on it or it would
00:18:27.800 --> 00:18:28.221
go to per
00:18:28.820 --> 00:18:31.483
per clinician per patient pricing but it's
00:18:31.523 --> 00:18:36.167
called uh movique is the thing are you
00:18:36.188 --> 00:18:38.349
gonna pull something up yeah you're gonna
00:18:38.369 --> 00:18:39.250
you're gonna you're gonna show us i don't
00:18:39.270 --> 00:18:40.392
know i don't know what we're talking about
00:18:40.432 --> 00:18:42.534
here like what's what what's what's the
00:18:42.574 --> 00:18:44.395
idea what's the idea i woke up this
00:18:44.435 --> 00:18:46.617
morning that's vala nyquil the fact that
00:18:46.657 --> 00:18:48.819
i'm still remaining vertical is beyond me
00:18:48.859 --> 00:18:50.882
right at this point so it's called movique
00:18:50.961 --> 00:18:51.922
essentially it's a clinical
00:18:52.563 --> 00:18:53.943
biomechanics lab.
00:18:53.963 --> 00:18:55.144
We've got to work on the website because
00:18:55.164 --> 00:18:56.065
the first time I saw it,
00:18:56.105 --> 00:18:57.086
I thought it was like an app.
00:18:57.185 --> 00:18:58.507
Like, you know, now it's turned your...
00:18:58.707 --> 00:18:59.227
But it's not.
00:18:59.547 --> 00:18:59.928
Essentially,
00:18:59.948 --> 00:19:03.028
this is a standalone building in Las Vegas
00:19:03.269 --> 00:19:03.849
right now.
00:19:04.309 --> 00:19:05.871
They've got more than...
00:19:05.891 --> 00:19:07.311
They've got double digits clinics
00:19:07.592 --> 00:19:07.971
paying...
00:19:09.032 --> 00:19:11.775
To be able to have access to go
00:19:11.875 --> 00:19:12.615
to send your clinic.
00:19:12.634 --> 00:19:13.675
So you get somebody who's like,
00:19:13.796 --> 00:19:15.017
I have pain when running.
00:19:15.336 --> 00:19:16.077
And you're like, got it.
00:19:16.137 --> 00:19:16.857
We'll do the rehab.
00:19:16.877 --> 00:19:17.959
But you know what?
00:19:18.098 --> 00:19:21.821
They have Doug Adams run Helix, run DNA.
00:19:22.301 --> 00:19:23.903
So you don't have to buy Doug Adams
00:19:23.942 --> 00:19:25.203
thing, which I'm sure Doug is like,
00:19:25.263 --> 00:19:26.484
I want to sell fifty of these things.
00:19:26.525 --> 00:19:27.365
But now he's going to sell it to
00:19:27.585 --> 00:19:27.705
one.
00:19:28.026 --> 00:19:28.205
Right.
00:19:28.506 --> 00:19:29.467
You send your patient.
00:19:29.487 --> 00:19:29.886
You're like, hey,
00:19:29.926 --> 00:19:31.768
go over to Movique on whatever street.
00:19:31.988 --> 00:19:32.929
They're going to run you through this
00:19:32.949 --> 00:19:33.809
battery as a test.
00:19:34.130 --> 00:19:35.290
They're going to give us the results.
00:19:35.431 --> 00:19:35.911
We're going to plan.
00:19:35.931 --> 00:19:37.791
Then we're going to do our eval and
00:19:37.832 --> 00:19:38.532
plan accordingly.
00:19:39.192 --> 00:19:40.674
What are your thoughts without me weighing
00:19:40.755 --> 00:19:40.855
in?
00:19:40.894 --> 00:19:42.036
Because I had a forty five minute
00:19:42.056 --> 00:19:42.997
conversation with this kid.
00:19:43.037 --> 00:19:43.376
I like him.
00:19:43.396 --> 00:19:45.578
Dave, you go.
00:19:45.598 --> 00:19:48.902
OK, this is a clinic.
00:19:49.001 --> 00:19:50.323
Where did you say Las Vegas?
00:19:50.742 --> 00:19:51.943
It's in Vegas.
00:19:51.963 --> 00:19:53.506
They're going to have all the toys.
00:19:54.355 --> 00:19:54.515
Yeah,
00:19:54.555 --> 00:19:56.096
they're going to have the technology such
00:19:56.155 --> 00:19:59.037
as the Doug Adams RunDNA and what else?
00:19:59.076 --> 00:20:00.297
Like just motion capture stuff,
00:20:00.317 --> 00:20:02.498
which nowadays is â Tony probably knows
00:20:02.538 --> 00:20:03.979
better than I do â almost free.
00:20:04.019 --> 00:20:07.599
Like it's more and more available.
00:20:09.340 --> 00:20:10.821
If I was in Vegas,
00:20:10.862 --> 00:20:12.541
if I had an outpatient clinic,
00:20:12.682 --> 00:20:15.482
why would I send my client and customer
00:20:15.663 --> 00:20:16.584
anywhere else?
00:20:16.983 --> 00:20:18.444
Just go buy the RunDNA.
00:20:18.484 --> 00:20:19.424
Go buy â
00:20:19.505 --> 00:20:20.885
The motion capture,
00:20:21.526 --> 00:20:23.207
I had a company on LinkedIn hit me
00:20:23.267 --> 00:20:25.528
up about motion capture that requires no
00:20:25.608 --> 00:20:26.749
physical products or anything,
00:20:26.788 --> 00:20:27.829
no sensors or anything.
00:20:28.230 --> 00:20:29.990
So the technology is getting better and
00:20:30.010 --> 00:20:30.531
better and better.
00:20:31.352 --> 00:20:32.192
As a business person,
00:20:32.573 --> 00:20:34.273
it makes zero sense for me to send
00:20:34.794 --> 00:20:36.474
my patient or client down the road to
00:20:36.535 --> 00:20:38.596
some other clinic that will probably try
00:20:38.635 --> 00:20:41.077
to keep them there or do some paid
00:20:41.117 --> 00:20:42.538
virtual program or whatever.
00:20:43.558 --> 00:20:44.019
Now, of course,
00:20:44.500 --> 00:20:45.740
if that's what bets for the client,
00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:46.560
then whatever.
00:20:46.780 --> 00:20:48.104
you know, all the way do that.
00:20:48.565 --> 00:20:51.471
But I don't understand why this would
00:20:52.212 --> 00:20:54.678
remotely make sense if I'm a business
00:20:54.738 --> 00:20:55.901
owner in Vegas.
00:20:59.679 --> 00:21:02.220
I'm on Dave's team for this.
00:21:03.740 --> 00:21:06.780
I don't see physical therapists being the
00:21:06.840 --> 00:21:07.662
market for this.
00:21:07.741 --> 00:21:09.821
I could see maybe like a personal training
00:21:09.862 --> 00:21:11.643
studio or something like that.
00:21:12.722 --> 00:21:14.222
It's one of those deals where I think
00:21:14.522 --> 00:21:17.523
we as a profession tend to have either
00:21:17.963 --> 00:21:19.003
we think we can do it all.
00:21:19.625 --> 00:21:20.345
And I'm like,
00:21:20.384 --> 00:21:21.404
why am I going to send them there
00:21:21.424 --> 00:21:22.224
when I can just see it?
00:21:22.265 --> 00:21:23.444
I can put them on my treadmill.
00:21:23.506 --> 00:21:24.925
I can watch them do it myself.
00:21:25.685 --> 00:21:26.907
Or if I like gadgets,
00:21:26.968 --> 00:21:28.650
I'll just go buy the stuff myself,
00:21:28.710 --> 00:21:29.632
do it myself.
00:21:30.973 --> 00:21:33.016
I love the idea of, well,
00:21:33.196 --> 00:21:35.078
why do I go get blood work at
00:21:35.138 --> 00:21:37.623
a lab instead of blood work at my
00:21:37.682 --> 00:21:38.805
doctor's office?
00:21:39.305 --> 00:21:40.666
There's something there.
00:21:41.428 --> 00:21:43.229
I'm not sure what it is other than,
00:21:43.409 --> 00:21:45.589
you know, a lab does it cheaper, easier.
00:21:45.609 --> 00:21:47.471
The doctor is too busy with other stuff.
00:21:47.510 --> 00:21:49.551
So like if I was a clinic that
00:21:49.571 --> 00:21:50.991
was just book solid,
00:21:51.031 --> 00:21:52.972
too busy to waste time testing,
00:21:53.593 --> 00:21:55.933
then maybe I could see an opportunity for
00:21:55.973 --> 00:21:56.994
something like this.
00:21:57.494 --> 00:22:01.016
But for most smaller individual kind of
00:22:01.175 --> 00:22:01.936
practices,
00:22:02.017 --> 00:22:02.977
I think they're just going to want to
00:22:03.017 --> 00:22:03.718
do it themselves,
00:22:04.117 --> 00:22:06.118
either with their own eyes and brain or
00:22:06.179 --> 00:22:07.058
with their own equipment.
00:22:07.798 --> 00:22:09.640
I'm just worried.
00:22:10.099 --> 00:22:11.500
Number one, I forget the kid's name,
00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:13.240
but I like him.
00:22:13.280 --> 00:22:13.721
He's nice.
00:22:13.901 --> 00:22:14.601
He's a hustler.
00:22:14.681 --> 00:22:15.201
He's smart.
00:22:15.281 --> 00:22:16.422
He's trying to tell the story,
00:22:16.541 --> 00:22:18.103
and I appreciate it.
00:22:18.123 --> 00:22:19.663
I don't know if there's margin there for
00:22:19.682 --> 00:22:19.883
this.
00:22:20.083 --> 00:22:21.683
The reason you don't do it as a
00:22:22.064 --> 00:22:23.944
primary care and do the lab is it's
00:22:24.825 --> 00:22:25.585
bandwidth.
00:22:25.605 --> 00:22:28.125
That stuff's time and effort intensive and
00:22:28.185 --> 00:22:29.185
equipment intensive,
00:22:29.205 --> 00:22:30.287
and maybe it breaks down.
00:22:31.047 --> 00:22:33.710
I don't know if there's margin in that
00:22:33.730 --> 00:22:34.490
for PT.
00:22:34.830 --> 00:22:36.112
If this thing were to take off,
00:22:36.152 --> 00:22:37.834
this would need to be city-based only
00:22:37.874 --> 00:22:39.635
because you're going to need I don't know
00:22:39.675 --> 00:22:42.219
how many clinics to support it paying ten,
00:22:42.259 --> 00:22:42.638
twelve,
00:22:42.679 --> 00:22:45.241
fifteen grand a year to
00:22:46.404 --> 00:22:48.507
I like the story aspect of it,
00:22:48.547 --> 00:22:50.990
making it look like, hey,
00:22:51.089 --> 00:22:52.411
I sort of said what I normally say,
00:22:52.431 --> 00:22:52.832
which is like,
00:22:52.852 --> 00:22:54.574
this feels like everybody's going to be an
00:22:54.693 --> 00:22:56.635
NFL wide receiver and be a prospect.
00:22:56.675 --> 00:22:57.656
But then I'm looking around going,
00:22:58.557 --> 00:23:00.140
how many patients did I see that needed
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:02.402
to be treated like an NFL wide receiver?
00:23:02.582 --> 00:23:03.222
Eight percent?
00:23:03.343 --> 00:23:03.844
I don't know.
00:23:03.864 --> 00:23:04.544
I wanted it to be more,
00:23:04.564 --> 00:23:05.025
but it wasn't.
00:23:05.990 --> 00:23:08.473
The comparison of Quest Diagnostics is a
00:23:08.534 --> 00:23:09.434
little faulty, right?
00:23:09.474 --> 00:23:11.957
Because if I go to a physician's office,
00:23:11.977 --> 00:23:12.617
they take my blood,
00:23:12.637 --> 00:23:14.159
they send it to Quest or some other
00:23:14.338 --> 00:23:15.119
lab or whatever.
00:23:16.381 --> 00:23:20.285
I, as the consumer, patient, customer,
00:23:20.384 --> 00:23:22.948
whatever we want to call the healthcare
00:23:22.968 --> 00:23:23.667
consumer these days...
00:23:24.548 --> 00:23:26.349
i'm never going to quest diagnostics for
00:23:26.451 --> 00:23:27.830
anything else i don't even need to go
00:23:27.851 --> 00:23:29.492
to the brick and mortar office right it
00:23:29.512 --> 00:23:31.134
they're sending a little vial of my blood
00:23:31.213 --> 00:23:32.974
and then it comes back and then the
00:23:32.994 --> 00:23:35.017
physician you know you have a follow visit
00:23:35.076 --> 00:23:36.718
or you call them and then they tell
00:23:36.738 --> 00:23:38.778
you like what's the recap on your blood
00:23:38.798 --> 00:23:40.000
work or they send it to you or
00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:42.261
there's a portal or whatever in this
00:23:42.321 --> 00:23:44.803
example this place is a brick and mortar
00:23:44.884 --> 00:23:46.944
office in las vegas right correct
00:23:47.813 --> 00:23:50.096
This is why it doesn't make sense to
00:23:50.435 --> 00:23:52.818
refer, if I have a practice nearby,
00:23:53.700 --> 00:23:54.721
I should just buy this technology.
00:23:54.780 --> 00:23:56.563
Why would I refer my patient or client
00:23:56.603 --> 00:23:59.145
to this facility for the Quest Diagnostics
00:23:59.326 --> 00:24:02.390
movement-based version of physical therapy
00:24:02.470 --> 00:24:04.731
or just movement diagnostics?
00:24:05.272 --> 00:24:07.133
Because then, I mean,
00:24:07.353 --> 00:24:08.594
if they have an amazing facility,
00:24:08.614 --> 00:24:10.034
they're gonna just win over my client,
00:24:10.074 --> 00:24:11.834
which that's just competitive business.
00:24:11.913 --> 00:24:13.993
And then the client could then do whatever
00:24:14.075 --> 00:24:15.775
potential future program that they could
00:24:15.815 --> 00:24:17.755
pitch the client because they're there in
00:24:17.775 --> 00:24:19.734
the brick and mortar office and say, oh,
00:24:20.155 --> 00:24:21.276
you want this, you want this,
00:24:21.496 --> 00:24:23.096
back to running, back to golf, back,
00:24:23.175 --> 00:24:23.576
whatever.
00:24:23.955 --> 00:24:25.296
And if they have a nice facility with
00:24:25.336 --> 00:24:27.096
equipment and all that, they could create,
00:24:27.416 --> 00:24:27.636
you know,
00:24:27.676 --> 00:24:30.537
Tony's wellness model and have an in-house
00:24:30.576 --> 00:24:33.718
gym type of thing for their nearby
00:24:33.758 --> 00:24:34.238
consumers.
00:24:34.837 --> 00:24:36.839
Maybe they only want to stick with
00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:37.420
diagnostics,
00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:39.701
but it doesn't make sense business-wise.
00:24:40.321 --> 00:24:40.821
What's the thing?
00:24:41.163 --> 00:24:43.223
I would say their position is they don't
00:24:43.304 --> 00:24:44.664
have physical therapists.
00:24:44.704 --> 00:24:46.326
They don't have sports performance.
00:24:46.346 --> 00:24:47.886
They just want to do the testing.
00:24:49.028 --> 00:24:53.790
I've got two blood work orders sitting on
00:24:53.832 --> 00:24:55.413
my desk for two of my kids.
00:24:56.012 --> 00:24:58.654
The doctor will do the basic panel,
00:24:58.915 --> 00:25:01.538
but like one is related to allergy
00:25:01.577 --> 00:25:02.018
testing.
00:25:02.578 --> 00:25:05.280
I literally have to go to the lab
00:25:05.320 --> 00:25:06.481
corp or whatever it is.
00:25:06.882 --> 00:25:09.263
The other one is related to some other
00:25:09.284 --> 00:25:10.724
kind of specialized testing.
00:25:11.226 --> 00:25:13.488
So to Dave's point, like, yeah,
00:25:13.508 --> 00:25:14.367
the basic stuff,
00:25:14.409 --> 00:25:16.349
the doc's just going to have somebody in
00:25:16.390 --> 00:25:17.671
the office draw it.
00:25:18.271 --> 00:25:18.852
This though,
00:25:19.031 --> 00:25:20.814
I literally have to take my kids
00:25:20.973 --> 00:25:22.895
physically to the testing site.
00:25:23.715 --> 00:25:24.856
So I do understand.
00:25:25.576 --> 00:25:27.218
And I think what this person would say
00:25:27.278 --> 00:25:28.238
is, look, yeah,
00:25:28.278 --> 00:25:33.519
you can buy the RunDNA equipment and you
00:25:33.539 --> 00:25:34.881
can buy the other stuff and you can
00:25:34.901 --> 00:25:36.141
buy the other stuff and you can buy
00:25:36.181 --> 00:25:36.840
the other stuff.
00:25:37.182 --> 00:25:38.541
But we have all four or five of
00:25:38.582 --> 00:25:39.803
them here.
00:25:40.163 --> 00:25:42.884
So instead of you going into that,
00:25:43.423 --> 00:25:44.865
send your people to us.
00:25:44.944 --> 00:25:47.486
I'm sure the idea behind it is, look,
00:25:47.566 --> 00:25:50.166
we can give you objective measures to show
00:25:50.247 --> 00:25:51.467
and track improvement,
00:25:51.487 --> 00:25:52.807
to make your outcomes better,
00:25:52.867 --> 00:25:52.928
to
00:25:53.407 --> 00:25:55.432
improve patient buy-in to sell more
00:25:55.492 --> 00:25:56.976
expensive plans of care.
00:25:57.869 --> 00:26:00.391
I totally get all of that and the
00:26:00.431 --> 00:26:01.611
appeal is there,
00:26:02.230 --> 00:26:05.332
but I still think you're talking about the
00:26:05.372 --> 00:26:08.192
clinicians around you adopting a new
00:26:08.232 --> 00:26:10.553
business model that they're probably not
00:26:10.613 --> 00:26:12.993
really that interested in adopting because
00:26:13.034 --> 00:26:14.054
just like me real quick,
00:26:14.954 --> 00:26:17.035
I can have a ten pound dumbbell or
00:26:17.095 --> 00:26:19.596
I could buy a three thousand dollar tonal,
00:26:20.155 --> 00:26:20.455
you know,
00:26:20.476 --> 00:26:21.476
like I'm just going to stick with the
00:26:21.496 --> 00:26:24.257
ten pound dumbbell and just go with that.
00:26:25.156 --> 00:26:26.438
I'm shocked that neither of you kicked
00:26:26.458 --> 00:26:26.738
this out.
00:26:26.758 --> 00:26:28.798
This was my first thought of another
00:26:28.838 --> 00:26:31.181
market to at least tide them over until
00:26:31.201 --> 00:26:32.141
this pops or doesn't,
00:26:32.181 --> 00:26:33.721
which is youth sports.
00:26:33.781 --> 00:26:33.982
Yeah.
00:26:34.063 --> 00:26:34.282
Oh, yeah.
00:26:34.363 --> 00:26:35.002
I thought of that.
00:26:35.143 --> 00:26:35.604
I was like,
00:26:36.144 --> 00:26:37.244
but you know what I've seen?
00:26:37.305 --> 00:26:38.885
Because I'm in youth sports.
00:26:39.105 --> 00:26:41.727
All of my kids play all the sports.
00:26:42.248 --> 00:26:43.949
None of the coaches want to send their
00:26:43.989 --> 00:26:45.829
kids out to anything because the coaches
00:26:45.910 --> 00:26:49.051
are like the time is so limited.
00:26:49.699 --> 00:26:50.419
Right.
00:26:50.439 --> 00:26:52.180
I do think there's a huge opportunity.
00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:53.779
I'm surprised nobody's ever done this.
00:26:53.839 --> 00:26:54.240
Dave,
00:26:54.381 --> 00:26:55.520
I don't know if I ran this by
00:26:55.560 --> 00:26:57.801
you years ago, but I'm like,
00:26:58.142 --> 00:26:59.922
we've got all this information on
00:26:59.981 --> 00:27:01.722
professional athletes getting injured.
00:27:01.762 --> 00:27:03.823
We have information on college athletes
00:27:03.864 --> 00:27:04.403
getting injured.
00:27:04.663 --> 00:27:07.305
I can't believe somebody hasn't started a
00:27:07.345 --> 00:27:10.546
database of high school and middle school
00:27:10.685 --> 00:27:11.226
athletes.
00:27:11.965 --> 00:27:12.946
What are they doing?
00:27:13.186 --> 00:27:14.288
Injuries, you know,
00:27:14.708 --> 00:27:16.189
analytics on all that stuff.
00:27:16.209 --> 00:27:18.151
Because if you can predict an eighth
00:27:18.171 --> 00:27:21.012
graders chances of making it through high
00:27:21.053 --> 00:27:23.354
school and going to college without an
00:27:23.433 --> 00:27:25.715
injury, there's real value in that.
00:27:26.195 --> 00:27:28.738
So a company like this starting to track
00:27:28.798 --> 00:27:31.519
those data points in sixth grade,
00:27:31.579 --> 00:27:32.260
seventh grade,
00:27:32.421 --> 00:27:33.882
eighth grade into high school.
00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:35.560
That's where I think there's a huge
00:27:35.641 --> 00:27:36.280
opportunity.
00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:36.961
I like that.
00:27:37.122 --> 00:27:37.622
I like that.
00:27:37.642 --> 00:27:38.402
I love it.
00:27:38.823 --> 00:27:40.723
A good idea that I don't think I
00:27:40.763 --> 00:27:42.023
heard any of us say at the end
00:27:42.044 --> 00:27:43.025
of this little diatribe.
00:27:43.045 --> 00:27:43.525
I love how Ben,
00:27:43.545 --> 00:27:44.786
my vitamin on the show wants to be
00:27:44.806 --> 00:27:45.066
a guest.
00:27:45.086 --> 00:27:46.067
He's like, I don't have anything to say.
00:27:46.086 --> 00:27:48.327
And then he writes, you know, Homer's.
00:27:49.769 --> 00:27:50.368
He said in the.
00:27:51.289 --> 00:27:52.250
I've seen this one yogurt.
00:27:52.269 --> 00:27:52.770
Let's talk about it.
00:27:52.790 --> 00:27:52.990
Go ahead.
00:27:53.597 --> 00:27:54.218
Well, he's saying,
00:27:54.258 --> 00:27:55.538
he's saying not all patients need such a
00:27:55.598 --> 00:27:56.439
comprehensive eval.
00:27:56.459 --> 00:27:57.818
And there are things that can do like
00:27:58.179 --> 00:28:00.019
motion cap, markerless motion cap.
00:28:00.500 --> 00:28:02.759
Like you don't need to like Xbox three
00:28:02.839 --> 00:28:03.681
sixty camera.
00:28:03.861 --> 00:28:05.181
I remember when I was in PT school
00:28:05.221 --> 00:28:06.161
a decade ago, they're like,
00:28:06.201 --> 00:28:08.102
we can measure twenty seven joints in real
00:28:08.162 --> 00:28:08.582
time,
00:28:09.162 --> 00:28:11.142
power and force estimations like good
00:28:11.162 --> 00:28:12.182
enough, good enough.
00:28:12.583 --> 00:28:14.002
But the second half of this thing is
00:28:14.083 --> 00:28:15.523
in the personal injury world.
00:28:15.903 --> 00:28:17.124
There are companies who come to your
00:28:17.163 --> 00:28:19.684
practice like this once every other week
00:28:19.704 --> 00:28:21.184
to do comprehensive measurements.
00:28:21.424 --> 00:28:23.866
It's billable and see like their,
00:28:24.227 --> 00:28:26.627
their movie health.
00:28:27.169 --> 00:28:28.410
You're in Vegas.
00:28:28.890 --> 00:28:31.471
There's a lot of dancers who get injured
00:28:31.511 --> 00:28:32.352
in Vegas.
00:28:32.471 --> 00:28:36.275
There's a lot of personal injury.
00:28:37.816 --> 00:28:39.257
There could be your estimate.
00:28:39.277 --> 00:28:41.097
There could be at least a side market,
00:28:41.157 --> 00:28:41.377
right?
00:28:41.958 --> 00:28:42.419
I love,
00:28:42.598 --> 00:28:45.840
I love the ingenuity to try to solve
00:28:45.881 --> 00:28:46.320
a problem.
00:28:46.401 --> 00:28:47.342
I just don't know if it's a big
00:28:47.362 --> 00:28:49.222
enough problem for outpatient PT clinics.
00:28:49.403 --> 00:28:49.723
Average.
00:28:50.044 --> 00:28:50.183
Now,
00:28:52.144 --> 00:28:53.925
go to the fringes, personal injury,
00:28:54.026 --> 00:28:55.586
youth sports, something like that.
00:28:56.067 --> 00:28:56.988
Like, I don't know.
00:28:57.087 --> 00:28:59.189
That could be a better, a better one.
00:28:59.209 --> 00:29:02.392
Go ahead, Tony.
00:29:02.412 --> 00:29:02.832
I was going to say,
00:29:02.872 --> 00:29:05.012
what's the cost of run DNA and one
00:29:05.032 --> 00:29:06.693
of these markerless motion captures?
00:29:06.814 --> 00:29:08.315
Is it more than twelve K a year?
00:29:08.335 --> 00:29:08.736
Because it's like,
00:29:08.756 --> 00:29:09.855
just get the technology yourself.
00:29:09.895 --> 00:29:10.317
Why would you,
00:29:10.376 --> 00:29:11.297
why would you ever do this?
00:29:11.517 --> 00:29:12.178
Costs.
00:29:12.897 --> 00:29:14.259
I don't know what the helix costs.
00:29:14.318 --> 00:29:14.959
Maybe I could look it up.
00:29:15.019 --> 00:29:16.259
I don't know.
00:29:16.299 --> 00:29:17.080
Don't quote me.
00:29:17.201 --> 00:29:18.781
I want to say seventeen thousand.
00:29:18.821 --> 00:29:19.481
It might be more.
00:29:19.501 --> 00:29:20.242
It might be less.
00:29:22.909 --> 00:29:23.709
So you got to, you know... Plus,
00:29:23.729 --> 00:29:25.470
I think there's a monthly membership
00:29:25.549 --> 00:29:27.671
because there's the analysis software and
00:29:27.730 --> 00:29:28.431
stuff like that.
00:29:29.551 --> 00:29:30.332
You know, I mean,
00:29:30.352 --> 00:29:33.153
a lot of this equipment is expensive.
00:29:33.192 --> 00:29:34.034
It's not cheap.
00:29:34.114 --> 00:29:35.875
When you look at financing it, yes,
00:29:35.894 --> 00:29:37.214
you can make it a real business.
00:29:37.615 --> 00:29:39.036
But that's why I'm saying you're talking
00:29:39.056 --> 00:29:41.116
about changing the business model.
00:29:41.176 --> 00:29:43.637
If I purchased that system,
00:29:44.117 --> 00:29:45.118
amazing system...
00:29:45.959 --> 00:29:48.500
I am going into that line of business.
00:29:48.601 --> 00:29:50.962
I am selling that test as my primary
00:29:51.423 --> 00:29:52.364
revenue source.
00:29:52.403 --> 00:29:53.805
There are, go ahead.
00:29:54.144 --> 00:29:55.405
I was gonna say, and if you're not,
00:29:55.465 --> 00:29:56.906
you're making a shitty investment because
00:29:56.926 --> 00:29:58.188
now you're just buying something to sit in
00:29:58.208 --> 00:29:58.729
the corner.
00:29:58.788 --> 00:29:59.388
And like, my man,
00:29:59.429 --> 00:30:00.210
that's not a great idea.
00:30:00.660 --> 00:30:02.321
are plenty of therapists who will wait who
00:30:02.362 --> 00:30:03.603
will spend the money I don't want to
00:30:03.623 --> 00:30:04.924
say waste the money they will spend the
00:30:04.964 --> 00:30:06.807
money without monetizing the equipment
00:30:06.826 --> 00:30:08.568
just because they love gadgets and they
00:30:08.608 --> 00:30:10.230
love that kind of stuff you know makes
00:30:10.250 --> 00:30:14.435
them feel good real quick I swear you're
00:30:14.476 --> 00:30:15.817
hitting all the things I've been thinking
00:30:15.856 --> 00:30:18.961
about this this morning I was thinking
00:30:19.020 --> 00:30:21.163
about pelvic floor therapists
00:30:21.784 --> 00:30:23.825
Jimmy said dancers and Vegas,
00:30:23.865 --> 00:30:25.404
which I imagine means strippers.
00:30:25.444 --> 00:30:28.885
And I was like,
00:30:29.707 --> 00:30:32.748
why don't we see a pelvic floor therapist
00:30:32.768 --> 00:30:36.528
who specializes in certain industries that
00:30:36.608 --> 00:30:39.170
require that kind of training?
00:30:39.490 --> 00:30:41.131
Like there are sports performance
00:30:41.171 --> 00:30:42.191
therapists, you know,
00:30:42.270 --> 00:30:43.991
like golf therapists,
00:30:44.031 --> 00:30:45.211
football-based therapists.
00:30:45.311 --> 00:30:48.032
Why don't we have an OnlyFans-focused
00:30:48.053 --> 00:30:50.114
therapist who is pelvic floor?
00:30:52.115 --> 00:30:53.955
There's some real opportunity there.
00:30:54.476 --> 00:30:56.037
Listen, I've told you guys before,
00:30:56.557 --> 00:30:58.137
one of my dreams is to do,
00:30:58.317 --> 00:31:00.077
I want to be the Mike Rowe of
00:31:00.179 --> 00:31:00.558
PT.
00:31:00.578 --> 00:31:01.818
I want to go dirty, dirty jobs.
00:31:02.440 --> 00:31:03.700
I will investigate this for you.
00:31:05.260 --> 00:31:07.501
I can hear them right now.
00:31:07.682 --> 00:31:11.104
There are specific therapists who work
00:31:11.124 --> 00:31:13.144
with like on Broadway, like hi, hi.
00:31:14.305 --> 00:31:15.546
I think I interviewed someone before who
00:31:15.566 --> 00:31:17.467
did Cirque du Soleil was her job.
00:31:17.567 --> 00:31:17.906
Yeah, I remember.
00:31:18.922 --> 00:31:19.662
And I remember being like,
00:31:19.882 --> 00:31:22.282
what's normal range of, like,
00:31:22.303 --> 00:31:23.963
do you just take a goniometer and just
00:31:24.003 --> 00:31:24.663
throw it out the window?
00:31:24.683 --> 00:31:25.664
You're like, there's no normal.
00:31:26.025 --> 00:31:28.905
These people are not even close to above
00:31:29.006 --> 00:31:29.365
average.
00:31:29.385 --> 00:31:30.507
They are bananas.
00:31:30.686 --> 00:31:31.866
So like it is, you know,
00:31:31.906 --> 00:31:33.028
it's an industry within an industry.
00:31:37.249 --> 00:31:37.890
Only gonies.
00:31:37.990 --> 00:31:39.069
I'm trying to think of what the only
00:31:39.089 --> 00:31:40.730
fans, only gonies, only, only,
00:31:40.750 --> 00:31:42.810
I don't know, only MMTs.
00:31:42.832 --> 00:31:43.571
I'm like, yeah,
00:31:43.592 --> 00:31:44.372
there's gotta be an industry.
00:31:44.392 --> 00:31:46.393
Your, your body's your money.
00:31:49.131 --> 00:31:51.053
So cool business, cool idea,
00:31:51.814 --> 00:31:53.255
but just like anything else.
00:31:53.775 --> 00:31:55.537
Again, we've used this example.
00:31:56.037 --> 00:31:57.858
Who would have thought strangers were
00:31:57.878 --> 00:31:59.460
going to get in my car and pay
00:31:59.480 --> 00:32:00.881
me to give them a ride home from
00:32:00.921 --> 00:32:01.342
the bar?
00:32:01.402 --> 00:32:02.962
Who would have thought strangers would
00:32:03.022 --> 00:32:06.246
borrow or pay to rent my spare bedroom?
00:32:06.665 --> 00:32:09.568
We're saying it's basically a bad idea,
00:32:10.048 --> 00:32:11.471
but it doesn't mean anything.
00:32:11.631 --> 00:32:12.751
Yeah, it doesn't mean anything.
00:32:12.771 --> 00:32:12.872
Yeah.
00:32:13.653 --> 00:32:14.355
Did you see this?
00:32:14.414 --> 00:32:15.015
I'll find it.
00:32:15.255 --> 00:32:17.415
Somebody had the video of the guys that
00:32:17.455 --> 00:32:18.396
invented YouTube.
00:32:19.136 --> 00:32:20.617
They were like, all right, all right,
00:32:20.678 --> 00:32:21.538
we're live.
00:32:22.338 --> 00:32:23.900
And they were like, two hours later,
00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:24.160
they're like,
00:32:24.180 --> 00:32:25.621
we had three videos uploaded.
00:32:25.840 --> 00:32:27.922
And now, as I've said this sentence,
00:32:27.961 --> 00:32:29.442
like four million videos have been
00:32:29.482 --> 00:32:29.762
uploaded.
00:32:29.782 --> 00:32:30.384
It's like, yeah.
00:32:31.163 --> 00:32:33.546
You went in like Slack wasn't designed for
00:32:33.606 --> 00:32:34.027
Slack.
00:32:34.067 --> 00:32:35.407
It was designed for something else.
00:32:35.428 --> 00:32:37.390
So I think you have elements of some
00:32:37.430 --> 00:32:37.711
things.
00:32:37.770 --> 00:32:39.092
Maybe you just haven't found your home.
00:32:39.432 --> 00:32:40.913
I also like the kid behind it.
00:32:40.953 --> 00:32:42.695
Like he's very he's I don't know.
00:32:42.836 --> 00:32:43.916
I keep calling him a kid because he's
00:32:43.936 --> 00:32:44.576
ten years younger than me,
00:32:44.597 --> 00:32:46.740
but he is a jockey, not the horse.
00:32:47.119 --> 00:32:48.260
Yeah, but I'm a jockey.
00:32:48.381 --> 00:32:50.063
All right.
00:32:51.443 --> 00:32:51.845
Who knows?
00:32:52.144 --> 00:32:53.606
Who knows who watches this show?
00:32:54.653 --> 00:32:57.494
That's them right there.
00:32:57.535 --> 00:32:58.316
I love the idea.
00:32:58.355 --> 00:32:59.115
Give us some pushback.
00:32:59.135 --> 00:33:00.297
Give us some pushback in the comment
00:33:00.336 --> 00:33:00.657
section.
00:33:00.738 --> 00:33:01.218
Let us know.
00:33:02.019 --> 00:33:02.778
What are we getting wrong?
00:33:02.798 --> 00:33:03.619
What are we overlooking?
00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:04.901
He's PRing.
00:33:04.921 --> 00:33:06.001
That's why I like this kid.
00:33:06.021 --> 00:33:07.022
Thanks for the great feedback.
00:33:07.063 --> 00:33:07.843
He appreciates it.
00:33:08.384 --> 00:33:09.865
I think they understand this.
00:33:09.944 --> 00:33:11.726
I think they've got,
00:33:11.766 --> 00:33:13.086
like if you were shark tanking this,
00:33:13.106 --> 00:33:14.248
we'd be like, what are your numbers?
00:33:14.627 --> 00:33:16.190
They have some clinics buying in.
00:33:16.210 --> 00:33:17.790
So maybe they're seeing something.
00:33:17.971 --> 00:33:19.251
He loves these smart people.
00:33:20.151 --> 00:33:20.351
I mean,
00:33:20.631 --> 00:33:23.053
the greatest example in the profession is
00:33:24.733 --> 00:33:27.915
RTM is like free money just sitting out
00:33:27.955 --> 00:33:28.276
there.
00:33:28.296 --> 00:33:29.576
No one's touching it.
00:33:29.596 --> 00:33:31.718
And yet therapists are not adopting it en
00:33:31.778 --> 00:33:32.159
masse.
00:33:32.199 --> 00:33:34.119
Like, how is that possible?
00:33:34.160 --> 00:33:37.082
Because anything that is a distraction,
00:33:37.241 --> 00:33:38.903
anything that takes even a moment of
00:33:38.942 --> 00:33:41.265
attention, anything that, you know,
00:33:42.285 --> 00:33:44.787
very few clinicians in my experience are
00:33:44.906 --> 00:33:46.548
ever motivated by money.
00:33:47.048 --> 00:33:47.689
Right.
00:33:47.828 --> 00:33:49.670
And they're all short on time.
00:33:50.190 --> 00:33:52.250
But they'll bitch about it.
00:33:52.391 --> 00:33:52.530
Yeah.
00:34:06.310 --> 00:34:07.412
When I came into this profession,
00:34:07.432 --> 00:34:08.793
I was very...
00:34:08.853 --> 00:34:10.456
I get yelled at for going too fast
00:34:11.257 --> 00:34:13.019
in wherever, wherever the hell I am,
00:34:13.059 --> 00:34:14.862
healthcare, whatever.
00:34:15.262 --> 00:34:17.605
I came from an industry where however fast
00:34:17.644 --> 00:34:20.949
you think Jimmy goes, I am slowing down.
00:34:21.190 --> 00:34:22.811
You have to move faster.
00:34:22.851 --> 00:34:23.572
The people who do...
00:34:24.494 --> 00:34:25.134
break things.
00:34:25.173 --> 00:34:26.215
And I'm not saying go all the way,
00:34:26.235 --> 00:34:27.315
but try some things.
00:34:27.474 --> 00:34:28.074
And we're like,
00:34:28.175 --> 00:34:30.315
let's form a committee and let's do it.
00:34:30.356 --> 00:34:30.775
And I'm like,
00:34:30.896 --> 00:34:32.496
what the hell are you talking about?
00:34:32.695 --> 00:34:34.597
What are we talking about?
00:34:34.836 --> 00:34:35.856
The ship is sinking.
00:34:35.876 --> 00:34:37.358
And we're like, is it though?
00:34:37.418 --> 00:34:38.978
Is it sinking left or right?
00:34:38.998 --> 00:34:39.938
I'm like, does not matter.
00:34:40.157 --> 00:34:40.898
Ship go down.
00:34:41.278 --> 00:34:42.239
We're a boat.
00:34:42.699 --> 00:34:43.139
I don't know.
00:34:43.259 --> 00:34:44.039
I think move faster.
00:34:44.059 --> 00:34:45.679
And I like things like this because
00:34:45.699 --> 00:34:48.820
they're trying to just pressure test
00:34:48.860 --> 00:34:49.380
faster.
00:34:49.780 --> 00:34:51.802
So I think I like the energy and
00:34:51.822 --> 00:34:52.481
the emotion there.
00:34:53.567 --> 00:34:54.547
I also like games,
00:34:55.068 --> 00:34:56.248
and I like this game.
00:34:56.289 --> 00:34:57.150
We all play this.
00:34:57.230 --> 00:34:58.610
No one even ever needed to teach you
00:34:58.650 --> 00:34:59.931
how to play this game.
00:34:59.952 --> 00:35:03.394
Every kid comes hardwired with this game
00:35:03.434 --> 00:35:04.936
in their brain operating system.
00:35:04.976 --> 00:35:06.697
It is called The Floor is Lava,
00:35:06.838 --> 00:35:07.878
Medicare edition.
00:35:08.199 --> 00:35:10.021
The only balance training program where
00:35:10.041 --> 00:35:11.942
the ground is literally lava,
00:35:12.282 --> 00:35:13.923
and your reimbursement depends on your
00:35:13.963 --> 00:35:14.804
patient's survival.
00:35:15.445 --> 00:35:17.485
foam pads across the clinic and let your
00:35:17.585 --> 00:35:19.666
seventy-year-olds fight for their lives
00:35:19.706 --> 00:35:22.387
with flaming cones, unstable surfaces,
00:35:22.666 --> 00:35:24.927
and two e-stim pads stuck to their calves
00:35:24.947 --> 00:35:25.688
for motivation.
00:35:25.969 --> 00:35:27.048
Clinically inappropriate?
00:35:27.449 --> 00:35:27.789
Maybe.
00:35:28.009 --> 00:35:28.668
Hilarious?
00:35:29.090 --> 00:35:29.650
Always.
00:35:29.889 --> 00:35:31.909
Check it out on ESPN eight, the Ocho.
00:35:31.929 --> 00:35:33.871
The floor is lava because balance training
00:35:33.911 --> 00:35:37.152
is more fun when it's life or fake
00:35:37.192 --> 00:35:37.512
death.
00:35:38.092 --> 00:35:40.253
This is where all the...
00:35:40.373 --> 00:35:42.034
Have you seen the TV show version of
00:35:42.054 --> 00:35:42.213
that?
00:35:42.775 --> 00:35:43.722
Yeah, it's hysterical.
00:35:43.985 --> 00:35:45.114
Yeah, it's awesome.
00:35:45.659 --> 00:35:46.681
But this is where it came from.
00:35:46.740 --> 00:35:47.581
So I think I, you know,
00:35:47.621 --> 00:35:48.202
we have a group chat.
00:35:48.222 --> 00:35:48.862
This is how we get in.
00:35:48.902 --> 00:35:50.182
Ninety eight percent of what we talk about
00:35:50.202 --> 00:35:50.563
on the show.
00:35:50.583 --> 00:35:51.244
And I was, I don't know,
00:35:51.304 --> 00:35:52.664
doing something on Saturday or Sunday.
00:35:53.405 --> 00:35:54.987
And now is like the weird law.
00:35:55.867 --> 00:35:56.728
Oh, I almost said the word.
00:35:56.847 --> 00:35:58.809
The super large football party.
00:35:58.949 --> 00:35:59.989
I'll get in trouble by this month,
00:36:00.030 --> 00:36:00.510
but whatever.
00:36:00.690 --> 00:36:02.992
The super large football party is this
00:36:03.052 --> 00:36:03.813
coming weekend.
00:36:04.092 --> 00:36:05.273
So this is the weekend between.
00:36:05.313 --> 00:36:06.335
I think the Pro Bowl happened,
00:36:06.355 --> 00:36:07.936
but like nobody wanted the Pro Bowl.
00:36:08.675 --> 00:36:09.936
And there wasn't a lot on.
00:36:10.117 --> 00:36:11.898
And I'm like, what's on ESPN?
00:36:12.259 --> 00:36:13.039
And they had.
00:36:14.119 --> 00:36:17.304
Slippery stairs competition.
00:36:17.744 --> 00:36:20.286
It was a ballroom at like Disney World,
00:36:20.827 --> 00:36:21.047
right?
00:36:21.128 --> 00:36:21.827
Or the hotel.
00:36:22.469 --> 00:36:24.610
And there was a large staircase covered in
00:36:24.650 --> 00:36:25.092
latex.
00:36:26.396 --> 00:36:29.380
people using those like water guns to make
00:36:29.400 --> 00:36:29.980
them slip them up.
00:36:30.041 --> 00:36:32.443
And they had adult male, adult female,
00:36:33.224 --> 00:36:34.764
boy, girl competitions.
00:36:35.365 --> 00:36:36.907
It was an hour and a half of
00:36:36.947 --> 00:36:37.347
fake games.
00:36:37.367 --> 00:36:39.909
They had, what was it called?
00:36:40.250 --> 00:36:41.972
Oh, extreme archery.
00:36:42.371 --> 00:36:44.153
So two people running around like almost
00:36:44.173 --> 00:36:46.315
like a paintball course firing like
00:36:46.836 --> 00:36:48.137
arrows, but they were like, you know,
00:36:48.237 --> 00:36:49.958
nerf tip, but they were like legit.
00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:51.141
Like they were zipping.
00:36:51.701 --> 00:36:52.942
And people were watching this,
00:36:52.961 --> 00:36:54.143
and they had an hour and a half
00:36:54.163 --> 00:36:55.985
of the World Dodgeball Championship.
00:36:56.425 --> 00:36:57.706
And this is why we make fun of
00:36:57.985 --> 00:36:59.126
ESPN, the Ocho,
00:36:59.487 --> 00:37:02.489
except their game is attention.
00:37:02.610 --> 00:37:04.391
I watched it because it was dumb.
00:37:04.630 --> 00:37:05.992
They had to put something on there.
00:37:06.733 --> 00:37:08.335
And there was nobody playing, right?
00:37:08.496 --> 00:37:09.577
College football's over.
00:37:09.657 --> 00:37:11.159
College basketball wasn't on that time of
00:37:11.199 --> 00:37:11.498
day.
00:37:11.599 --> 00:37:14.864
So my question would be, gosh,
00:37:15.505 --> 00:37:16.847
what's the steal here?
00:37:16.907 --> 00:37:18.248
What do we steal from this?
00:37:18.289 --> 00:37:19.130
Which is, again,
00:37:19.851 --> 00:37:21.152
if we're in the attention business,
00:37:21.413 --> 00:37:22.875
let's do some stuff.
00:37:22.974 --> 00:37:23.394
I don't know.
00:37:24.701 --> 00:37:26.222
high level how can we steal this is
00:37:26.282 --> 00:37:27.563
they're putting a bunch of ridiculous
00:37:27.603 --> 00:37:31.768
stuff on espn like cornhole and the the
00:37:31.829 --> 00:37:34.130
omega soccer the three the three goals
00:37:34.150 --> 00:37:37.373
faced each other and it's teams of like
00:37:37.934 --> 00:37:40.438
four or five guys uh people you know
00:37:40.657 --> 00:37:42.400
uh three teams against each other at the
00:37:42.420 --> 00:37:44.822
same time they're just putting they're
00:37:44.842 --> 00:37:46.563
just i i shared it to you guys
00:37:46.583 --> 00:37:47.324
a while ago months ago
00:37:48.690 --> 00:37:50.231
they're just putting a bunch of stuff on
00:37:50.251 --> 00:37:52.431
TV and they're hoping one of these things
00:37:52.472 --> 00:37:55.112
becomes Survivor or becomes, you know,
00:37:55.172 --> 00:37:56.733
the Kardashians or whatever, right?
00:37:56.753 --> 00:37:59.054
Like they're just putting a ton of stuff
00:37:59.293 --> 00:37:59.653
on there.
00:38:00.414 --> 00:38:01.655
I'm sure there was a show for,
00:38:01.835 --> 00:38:02.735
you know, I don't know,
00:38:02.755 --> 00:38:05.014
beer pong or just any type of game
00:38:05.054 --> 00:38:05.195
now.
00:38:05.275 --> 00:38:06.956
I mean, if the floor is lava,
00:38:07.056 --> 00:38:07.655
I had no idea.
00:38:07.695 --> 00:38:09.376
So this is a news break to me
00:38:09.396 --> 00:38:09.737
this morning.
00:38:09.757 --> 00:38:10.876
I didn't know that that was a TV
00:38:10.916 --> 00:38:11.097
show.
00:38:11.117 --> 00:38:12.277
So that's brand new for me.
00:38:12.657 --> 00:38:14.237
But anything that...
00:38:14.878 --> 00:38:17.619
espn or any of these other affiliates can
00:38:17.780 --> 00:38:20.161
try to put on tv that's even remotely
00:38:20.981 --> 00:38:23.682
similar to an in-person game that you play
00:38:23.722 --> 00:38:26.025
at tailgate or a party or used to
00:38:26.065 --> 00:38:27.606
play when you were a kid yeah it
00:38:27.646 --> 00:38:30.126
makes sense they are literally testing in
00:38:30.186 --> 00:38:31.728
real time they're kind of doing like
00:38:32.148 --> 00:38:34.429
savannah bananas you know style testing
00:38:35.010 --> 00:38:37.150
iterating and and they're hoping they find
00:38:37.570 --> 00:38:39.012
they're hoping one of these tv shows or
00:38:39.032 --> 00:38:41.474
games becomes like a savannah bananas yeah
00:38:42.235 --> 00:38:42.396
I mean,
00:38:42.416 --> 00:38:43.777
they understand that they're an attention
00:38:43.817 --> 00:38:45.757
game, but they already have distribution.
00:38:45.777 --> 00:38:46.516
So now you're like,
00:38:46.657 --> 00:38:47.498
we got to put something.
00:38:48.038 --> 00:38:49.237
This is inventory.
00:38:49.458 --> 00:38:51.378
I looked at in radio and TV,
00:38:52.318 --> 00:38:52.820
six a.m.
00:38:52.860 --> 00:38:54.239
on a Saturday is inventory.
00:38:54.300 --> 00:38:55.621
I got to put something on the air.
00:38:55.920 --> 00:38:56.581
What is it?
00:38:56.701 --> 00:38:58.561
Because that's inventory.
00:38:58.581 --> 00:38:59.242
Tony, what are we going to say?
00:39:00.478 --> 00:39:01.239
I don't remember.
00:39:01.338 --> 00:39:02.661
I think you were talking about,
00:39:03.380 --> 00:39:04.382
and I don't know why you don't want
00:39:04.402 --> 00:39:05.543
to say the name of the game,
00:39:06.483 --> 00:39:07.704
the big game coming up.
00:39:08.025 --> 00:39:09.586
We used to joke in radio because in
00:39:09.606 --> 00:39:11.128
radio, if you did that,
00:39:11.168 --> 00:39:12.369
you could get sued by the NFL.
00:39:12.389 --> 00:39:13.771
So we would make all these ridiculous,
00:39:13.791 --> 00:39:16.092
like the Super Bowl promo day.
00:39:16.132 --> 00:39:17.635
Like it was just tongue in cheek.
00:39:17.954 --> 00:39:19.536
So, I mean, Victoria's Secret,
00:39:19.577 --> 00:39:21.458
didn't they used to have like a halftime
00:39:21.478 --> 00:39:21.878
show?
00:39:22.458 --> 00:39:24.762
Animal Channel used to have a halftime
00:39:24.782 --> 00:39:25.061
show.
00:39:26.601 --> 00:39:28.300
why wouldn't like we,
00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:30.782
you said ESPN has the distribution,
00:39:30.822 --> 00:39:32.764
but if you made something that people
00:39:32.844 --> 00:39:33.925
actually wanted to watch,
00:39:34.324 --> 00:39:36.626
Facebook will give you the distribution.
00:39:36.666 --> 00:39:38.467
YouTube will give you the distribution.
00:39:38.507 --> 00:39:39.286
You have to earn it.
00:39:39.327 --> 00:39:40.547
You have to earn it.
00:39:40.568 --> 00:39:42.849
So with as much complaining as I see
00:39:42.909 --> 00:39:44.730
in here about halftime shows and
00:39:44.769 --> 00:39:45.710
performers and,
00:39:46.090 --> 00:39:47.251
People don't want to watch it,
00:39:47.271 --> 00:39:48.432
but they want to watch the game.
00:39:49.012 --> 00:39:51.255
I could totally see somebody coming up
00:39:51.295 --> 00:39:53.777
with their own thing from scratch,
00:39:54.137 --> 00:39:55.938
promote it as we're going to run this
00:39:55.998 --> 00:39:59.501
alternative halftime show and then run it
00:39:59.541 --> 00:40:01.101
across the social media platforms.
00:40:01.302 --> 00:40:03.284
Because again, what do you have to lose?
00:40:03.403 --> 00:40:05.764
It is a lottery ticket that if it
00:40:05.824 --> 00:40:09.148
hits, you will just do tremendous success.
00:40:10.260 --> 00:40:12.043
I'm releasing three hundred and sixty five
00:40:12.083 --> 00:40:14.286
podcast episodes and three hundred in
00:40:14.405 --> 00:40:15.266
twenty twenty six.
00:40:15.347 --> 00:40:16.548
I probably won't be doing one a day.
00:40:16.869 --> 00:40:18.490
I did ten in one day from Graham
00:40:18.510 --> 00:40:19.271
sessions last week.
00:40:20.253 --> 00:40:22.697
I decided and this will land with most
00:40:22.737 --> 00:40:23.217
P.T.'
00:40:23.097 --> 00:40:23.237
's.
00:40:24.295 --> 00:40:26.835
that the exercise principles, frequency,
00:40:26.896 --> 00:40:28.277
intensity, time, type, volume,
00:40:28.297 --> 00:40:29.858
and progression are also communication
00:40:29.898 --> 00:40:30.657
principles, frequency.
00:40:31.018 --> 00:40:31.898
I just decided to say,
00:40:32.438 --> 00:40:33.900
what if in twenty twenty six I just
00:40:34.239 --> 00:40:36.862
hammered frequency and I went bananas?
00:40:37.342 --> 00:40:40.503
It costs me zero extra dollars to launch
00:40:40.523 --> 00:40:41.443
a podcast episode.
00:40:41.884 --> 00:40:43.505
My time, my effort, it's all right.
00:40:43.905 --> 00:40:44.985
But I'm like, I'm OK with it.
00:40:45.545 --> 00:40:48.152
Because everyone that I do might hit and
00:40:48.193 --> 00:40:49.596
bring me a client to work with.
00:40:49.715 --> 00:40:50.617
It already has.
00:40:50.719 --> 00:40:51.481
It just does.
00:40:51.840 --> 00:40:53.927
Us doing this ridiculous live stream for
00:40:53.987 --> 00:40:55.048
two plus years.
00:40:56.382 --> 00:40:56.702
I'm like,
00:40:57.824 --> 00:40:59.806
I can't wait till we do this with
00:40:59.826 --> 00:41:03.307
like an ESPN style desk at CSM and
00:41:03.387 --> 00:41:04.548
not that we get invited,
00:41:04.789 --> 00:41:06.030
that people are like, well,
00:41:06.050 --> 00:41:07.851
we'll pay you to sit at our booth
00:41:07.871 --> 00:41:10.974
because right now our best strategy is
00:41:11.034 --> 00:41:12.876
drop twenty grand on a booth at CSM.
00:41:12.936 --> 00:41:14.697
I'm looking at you, every industry,
00:41:14.836 --> 00:41:16.038
every company that you're doing.
00:41:16.398 --> 00:41:18.039
You are f***ing this up.
00:41:18.539 --> 00:41:20.021
You spend twenty grand.
00:41:20.061 --> 00:41:21.222
You're in a meeting and you're like,
00:41:21.242 --> 00:41:21.922
I need twenty grand.
00:41:21.963 --> 00:41:22.242
Why?
00:41:22.282 --> 00:41:22.784
CSM.
00:41:22.844 --> 00:41:23.184
Great.
00:41:23.204 --> 00:41:23.384
Great.
00:41:23.543 --> 00:41:24.864
No justification?
00:41:25.204 --> 00:41:25.985
What are you going to do when you
00:41:26.025 --> 00:41:26.425
get there?
00:41:26.585 --> 00:41:27.065
Stand?
00:41:27.726 --> 00:41:28.206
Pens?
00:41:28.726 --> 00:41:29.347
Stress balls?
00:41:29.367 --> 00:41:29.708
Oh,
00:41:29.728 --> 00:41:30.809
we're going to go on LinkedIn and we're
00:41:30.829 --> 00:41:32.429
going to mention it over and over
00:41:32.449 --> 00:41:33.110
sixty-eight times.
00:41:34.010 --> 00:41:35.172
What are you talking about?
00:41:36.257 --> 00:41:37.177
What are you talking about?
00:41:37.217 --> 00:41:38.318
That's your strategy?
00:41:38.599 --> 00:41:39.679
That's signage.
00:41:41.740 --> 00:41:42.942
That is a good strategy if you want
00:41:42.961 --> 00:41:44.242
to tell people where the toilet is.
00:41:44.322 --> 00:41:44.822
Like, yes,
00:41:44.862 --> 00:41:46.123
the toilet is down and to the left,
00:41:46.164 --> 00:41:46.784
down and to the left.
00:41:46.824 --> 00:41:48.706
But your strategy for spending twenty,
00:41:48.826 --> 00:41:49.987
thirty thousand dollars at the
00:41:50.027 --> 00:41:50.646
conferences?
00:41:51.367 --> 00:41:52.108
Well, we're going to be there.
00:41:52.188 --> 00:41:52.668
Now we're in the room.
00:41:52.688 --> 00:41:53.289
We have a chance.
00:41:53.548 --> 00:41:53.849
OK,
00:41:54.789 --> 00:41:56.070
how are you going to overcome the sea
00:41:56.110 --> 00:41:56.672
of sameness?
00:41:57.092 --> 00:41:57.472
I don't know.
00:41:58.152 --> 00:41:59.333
I'm going to do a lot at CSM
00:41:59.353 --> 00:41:59.713
this year.
00:41:59.974 --> 00:42:02.436
I am going to be polished six percent
00:42:02.476 --> 00:42:02.775
of the time.
00:42:02.876 --> 00:42:04.077
Everything else is going to be run and
00:42:04.097 --> 00:42:04.217
gun.
00:42:05.911 --> 00:42:06.791
So here's my question.
00:42:06.911 --> 00:42:09.795
Now, here's I want to add some spice.
00:42:10.096 --> 00:42:13.960
Could we connect clinics in some way who
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:15.943
are not financially related?
00:42:17.128 --> 00:42:17.929
CrossFit does it.
00:42:18.670 --> 00:42:19.469
Set up a game,
00:42:19.751 --> 00:42:20.672
and then everybody watches the
00:42:20.692 --> 00:42:21.632
leaderboard, right?
00:42:21.672 --> 00:42:22.052
There it is.
00:42:22.072 --> 00:42:22.793
There's Hyrox.
00:42:22.833 --> 00:42:23.614
There's the leader.
00:42:23.655 --> 00:42:24.114
This month,
00:42:24.155 --> 00:42:26.217
we're doing these three things that can be
00:42:26.237 --> 00:42:27.538
performed in almost any clinic.
00:42:28.139 --> 00:42:29.440
Where's our people?
00:42:29.701 --> 00:42:31.501
And now we've gamified.
00:42:31.802 --> 00:42:33.864
Now we take a stab back at the
00:42:33.985 --> 00:42:34.826
Orange Theories.
00:42:35.085 --> 00:42:35.766
Dude, respect.
00:42:35.786 --> 00:42:36.748
I'm going to crap it on Orange Theory.
00:42:36.768 --> 00:42:37.387
They're doing it well.
00:42:37.989 --> 00:42:38.570
CrossFit.
00:42:38.750 --> 00:42:39.570
How do we take...
00:42:40.563 --> 00:42:43.344
ridiculous games and say,
00:42:43.445 --> 00:42:45.146
let's standardize them.
00:42:45.166 --> 00:42:45.907
And I'm using air quotes,
00:42:45.927 --> 00:42:47.708
but like something we could do in any
00:42:47.748 --> 00:42:49.891
clinic, but make it leave the clinic.
00:42:49.931 --> 00:42:52.393
Now there's a reason I ride Peloton.
00:42:52.532 --> 00:42:54.635
I see a leaderboard while I'm riding,
00:42:54.914 --> 00:42:56.516
but I joined, I went on LinkedIn.
00:42:56.536 --> 00:42:57.797
I was like, who's riding Peloton.
00:42:57.976 --> 00:42:59.257
I need someone to fight with.
00:42:59.338 --> 00:43:00.880
I need someone to feel like I'm behind.
00:43:01.380 --> 00:43:02.501
And now I have a little like, um,
00:43:02.641 --> 00:43:03.061
what do you call it?
00:43:03.081 --> 00:43:05.202
Like a motivation group or a, you know,
00:43:05.342 --> 00:43:05.443
um,
00:43:06.083 --> 00:43:06.784
permissions group.
00:43:07.204 --> 00:43:08.726
And I see where I stack against these
00:43:08.746 --> 00:43:09.326
other PTs.
00:43:09.346 --> 00:43:09.847
I'm like, all right,
00:43:10.027 --> 00:43:11.148
I don't really care about beating them.
00:43:11.427 --> 00:43:12.608
I want to make sure I'm not last.
00:43:12.728 --> 00:43:14.610
Like you don't got to outrun the grizzly
00:43:14.630 --> 00:43:14.789
bear.
00:43:14.809 --> 00:43:15.309
You just got to,
00:43:15.369 --> 00:43:16.130
you just can't be the,
00:43:16.231 --> 00:43:17.012
you can't be last.
00:43:17.032 --> 00:43:17.811
You don't have to be first.
00:43:18.331 --> 00:43:18.693
So what,
00:43:18.873 --> 00:43:20.193
if I throw that wrinkle in it,
00:43:21.353 --> 00:43:22.074
is that a thing?
00:43:22.394 --> 00:43:23.155
Would we care?
00:43:23.715 --> 00:43:25.016
Does that help us make money?
00:43:25.036 --> 00:43:26.038
It's got to help us make money.
00:43:26.958 --> 00:43:28.358
I think it'd be, I love it.
00:43:28.478 --> 00:43:29.480
I'm thinking like,
00:43:29.559 --> 00:43:31.521
it's got me thinking about trivia.
00:43:31.782 --> 00:43:32.882
When you go to the bar,
00:43:32.922 --> 00:43:34.864
you go to BW threes or something like
00:43:34.884 --> 00:43:35.184
that.
00:43:36.637 --> 00:43:36.978
You know,
00:43:37.038 --> 00:43:39.699
could my team can I put together a
00:43:39.739 --> 00:43:41.820
team of all stars at Total Therapy
00:43:41.860 --> 00:43:44.302
Solution that competes against Dave's
00:43:44.342 --> 00:43:44.762
team?
00:43:45.922 --> 00:43:48.463
Could we have like real time analytics
00:43:48.503 --> 00:43:50.344
that are up on a TV screen,
00:43:50.364 --> 00:43:50.746
you know,
00:43:50.826 --> 00:43:53.166
just like in the pub where you're doing
00:43:53.246 --> 00:43:53.827
trivia?
00:43:54.507 --> 00:43:56.068
It doesn't have to be synchronous.
00:43:56.108 --> 00:43:57.349
It doesn't have to be at the same
00:43:57.409 --> 00:43:57.769
time.
00:43:57.789 --> 00:43:59.351
We have performance metrics.
00:43:59.391 --> 00:43:59.951
And then, of course,
00:43:59.971 --> 00:44:03.112
you bring in a testing company like the
00:44:03.152 --> 00:44:04.773
guys that you were just talking about.
00:44:05.193 --> 00:44:05.693
And we're like,
00:44:05.713 --> 00:44:08.235
could we have this objective testing?
00:44:08.735 --> 00:44:10.257
So my kids run track.
00:44:10.577 --> 00:44:12.117
They go to the track meet.
00:44:12.277 --> 00:44:13.378
They you know,
00:44:13.418 --> 00:44:15.440
all their timing and analytics is up.
00:44:15.480 --> 00:44:17.001
They're looking at what other kids in the
00:44:17.021 --> 00:44:17.862
state are doing.
00:44:19.161 --> 00:44:21.844
I think it brings it brings your immediate
00:44:21.884 --> 00:44:25.226
community together like a bowling team or
00:44:25.246 --> 00:44:26.206
a softball team.
00:44:27.344 --> 00:44:29.425
It gives you something to promote across
00:44:29.465 --> 00:44:30.286
social media.
00:44:30.666 --> 00:44:32.148
Hey, look what we just did.
00:44:32.188 --> 00:44:34.449
You know, John just broke this record.
00:44:36.391 --> 00:44:38.494
There's a lot of opportunity in something
00:44:38.534 --> 00:44:38.934
like that.
00:44:40.215 --> 00:44:41.456
I think the way to do it is
00:44:41.516 --> 00:44:42.077
TVs.
00:44:43.282 --> 00:44:44.943
I think there needs to be a scoreboard.
00:44:45.085 --> 00:44:46.525
I need to know how close I was.
00:44:46.646 --> 00:44:48.246
I play those stupid games on LinkedIn
00:44:48.286 --> 00:44:48.827
every morning,
00:44:49.188 --> 00:44:50.548
and it shows me where I rank with
00:44:50.588 --> 00:44:51.909
the people that I'm connected to.
00:44:52.250 --> 00:44:53.090
And do I care?
00:44:53.291 --> 00:44:53.550
No.
00:44:54.411 --> 00:44:54.831
I do.
00:44:55.012 --> 00:44:55.492
I want to be...
00:44:55.813 --> 00:44:57.273
I was like number one a couple days
00:44:57.313 --> 00:44:58.635
last week, and I was like, yeah,
00:44:58.735 --> 00:44:59.255
what's up?
00:44:59.576 --> 00:45:00.737
Of course I'm bragging about that.
00:45:00.956 --> 00:45:01.197
Dave?
00:45:02.137 --> 00:45:03.759
I like Tony's idea...
00:45:05.702 --> 00:45:06.322
with these types of things,
00:45:06.382 --> 00:45:08.244
I always love him riffing first because
00:45:08.304 --> 00:45:09.824
he's so creative and outside of the box.
00:45:09.844 --> 00:45:10.666
So the thing of the,
00:45:10.686 --> 00:45:13.268
what was the game we were just talking
00:45:13.288 --> 00:45:13.427
about?
00:45:13.447 --> 00:45:15.248
Like in bars, it's a trivia,
00:45:15.268 --> 00:45:16.369
like a trivia night that they do.
00:45:17.251 --> 00:45:18.431
So the, the,
00:45:18.452 --> 00:45:19.833
I wasn't even thinking that the other
00:45:19.893 --> 00:45:20.853
step, Tony of like,
00:45:20.893 --> 00:45:22.914
then do Moviq and do the,
00:45:23.115 --> 00:45:25.277
the movement diagnostic type component of
00:45:25.336 --> 00:45:25.538
this.
00:45:26.217 --> 00:45:27.599
What if it was just the first step,
00:45:27.780 --> 00:45:28.722
the first part you just mentioned,
00:45:28.742 --> 00:45:30.965
which is basically like the way that bars
00:45:31.005 --> 00:45:31.525
do trivia.
00:45:31.565 --> 00:45:32.867
They do that to get butts in seats.
00:45:32.887 --> 00:45:34.048
They do that to get people in the
00:45:34.068 --> 00:45:36.612
bar to buy more beer and maybe food
00:45:36.652 --> 00:45:37.534
if they have food.
00:45:39.262 --> 00:45:40.543
Just that across the country,
00:45:40.563 --> 00:45:43.206
if it's my practice versus your practice
00:45:43.226 --> 00:45:45.007
versus my practice and other practices
00:45:45.166 --> 00:45:45.708
online,
00:45:46.809 --> 00:45:48.329
anyone with movement impairments or
00:45:48.349 --> 00:45:48.690
whatever,
00:45:48.791 --> 00:45:51.353
now everyone is closer to the same playing
00:45:51.373 --> 00:45:53.134
field because it's just your cognitive
00:45:53.193 --> 00:45:54.596
recall of whatever.
00:45:54.775 --> 00:45:55.996
It's just the trivia.
00:45:56.356 --> 00:45:58.699
It has nothing to do with physical
00:45:58.759 --> 00:45:58.978
therapy.
00:45:58.998 --> 00:45:59.500
Now, of course,
00:45:59.539 --> 00:46:00.940
there's some socialization and that could
00:46:00.960 --> 00:46:01.702
be beneficial,
00:46:02.202 --> 00:46:02.802
but it would help
00:46:03.302 --> 00:46:05.467
each of these clinics kind of improve
00:46:05.487 --> 00:46:06.248
their own, you know,
00:46:06.309 --> 00:46:08.251
culture and morale and, and build like a,
00:46:08.291 --> 00:46:09.894
whatever, a community or a tribe on,
00:46:09.914 --> 00:46:11.358
I'm trying to stay away from some of
00:46:11.378 --> 00:46:12.059
the buzzwords, but,
00:46:12.934 --> 00:46:15.157
You could get some folks that like,
00:46:15.177 --> 00:46:16.717
let's say I have five of our clients
00:46:16.737 --> 00:46:18.239
versus five of Tony's clients.
00:46:18.739 --> 00:46:20.320
And it doesn't matter if any of my
00:46:20.360 --> 00:46:21.880
clients are, you know,
00:46:21.920 --> 00:46:25.262
have they're in a Walker or wheelchair or
00:46:25.282 --> 00:46:27.605
they're twenty five years old and they are
00:46:27.684 --> 00:46:29.565
able to, you know, run a half marathon.
00:46:30.206 --> 00:46:31.086
If it's just trivia,
00:46:31.628 --> 00:46:33.188
that's something that could be filmed.
00:46:33.208 --> 00:46:35.989
That could be content that has it's not
00:46:36.050 --> 00:46:38.512
really anything to do with what we deliver
00:46:38.592 --> 00:46:40.333
in terms of like the service fulfillment
00:46:40.353 --> 00:46:40.614
side.
00:46:41.353 --> 00:46:43.076
But it would be content.
00:46:43.717 --> 00:46:46.340
And maybe the second thing would be like
00:46:46.360 --> 00:46:50.385
the movement Olympics or the movie type of
00:46:50.445 --> 00:46:51.266
component of it,
00:46:51.628 --> 00:46:54.610
which then ties closer to the service,
00:46:54.751 --> 00:46:56.634
the core offering that we offer.
00:46:57.514 --> 00:46:58.815
But what about even just even just the
00:46:58.875 --> 00:47:00.195
front end, just just the trivia,
00:47:00.376 --> 00:47:01.436
the way that bars do it?
00:47:01.976 --> 00:47:03.715
And I don't know, like, Jimmy,
00:47:03.735 --> 00:47:05.277
have you ever seen on YouTube like two
00:47:05.336 --> 00:47:07.177
bars ever film this or is it usually
00:47:07.396 --> 00:47:07.896
never filmed?
00:47:07.956 --> 00:47:10.157
I feel like I've never seen content of
00:47:10.557 --> 00:47:12.898
trivia in a bar like this team versus
00:47:12.918 --> 00:47:13.259
this team.
00:47:13.318 --> 00:47:15.179
And it's funny because every team names
00:47:15.219 --> 00:47:17.518
their own team like a funny, stupid name.
00:47:17.559 --> 00:47:19.219
And that's a joke or an inside joke
00:47:19.239 --> 00:47:19.539
or whatever.
00:47:19.559 --> 00:47:19.760
Yeah.
00:47:20.360 --> 00:47:21.981
I used to do a version of this
00:47:22.001 --> 00:47:23.802
called the bar exam where I would go
00:47:23.822 --> 00:47:24.581
with a recorder.
00:47:24.601 --> 00:47:26.163
This is pre cameras and everything.
00:47:26.742 --> 00:47:28.463
I would meet someone,
00:47:28.503 --> 00:47:30.244
I'd meet Tony and like, I'm like, Tony,
00:47:30.264 --> 00:47:30.724
introduce yourself.
00:47:30.764 --> 00:47:32.226
And you can clearly hear how hammered he
00:47:32.306 --> 00:47:32.505
is.
00:47:33.007 --> 00:47:34.487
And then I'd have two people on the
00:47:34.547 --> 00:47:36.467
phone live as I'm playing this back.
00:47:36.487 --> 00:47:38.369
So I recorded Tony on Friday.
00:47:38.449 --> 00:47:39.150
Now it's Monday.
00:47:39.969 --> 00:47:41.650
And now I've got Dave and Steve on
00:47:41.670 --> 00:47:42.032
the phone.
00:47:42.052 --> 00:47:42.652
I'm like, all right,
00:47:42.672 --> 00:47:43.753
we're going to hear a clip of this
00:47:43.793 --> 00:47:44.512
guy I met on Friday.
00:47:44.534 --> 00:47:44.974
Here's Tony.
00:47:45.014 --> 00:47:46.074
Tony's like, hey, what's up?
00:47:47.155 --> 00:47:48.817
Now you've gauged how drunk he is.
00:47:48.916 --> 00:47:50.297
And then then I would play a clip
00:47:50.318 --> 00:47:51.257
for Dave and Steve.
00:47:51.818 --> 00:47:53.019
Here's the question.
00:47:53.760 --> 00:47:55.402
You'd hear the question and then you'd bet
00:47:55.702 --> 00:47:56.581
I stole from a TV show.
00:47:57.422 --> 00:47:57.682
I'd say,
00:47:57.943 --> 00:47:59.724
do you think Tony got that right or
00:47:59.764 --> 00:48:00.025
wrong?
00:48:00.204 --> 00:48:01.365
So I was able to bring the bar
00:48:01.505 --> 00:48:03.088
onto the radio in a way that it
00:48:03.128 --> 00:48:05.489
wasn't live and it was a game being
00:48:05.530 --> 00:48:06.231
played live.
00:48:06.811 --> 00:48:08.373
I like the movement aspect of it.
00:48:08.432 --> 00:48:09.414
Like I would make up,
00:48:09.974 --> 00:48:11.956
you could even just do like,
00:48:11.996 --> 00:48:13.898
I would stay away from like weight lifted.
00:48:13.958 --> 00:48:15.900
I would make it more repetition based
00:48:16.440 --> 00:48:18.382
because I want it to be accessible and
00:48:18.563 --> 00:48:19.123
You know what I mean?
00:48:19.264 --> 00:48:20.405
And then you steal a page out of
00:48:20.425 --> 00:48:21.864
the Olympics, the senior Olympics,
00:48:21.885 --> 00:48:23.606
the Paralympics, the special Olympics,
00:48:23.626 --> 00:48:26.447
like make it bracketable by ability level,
00:48:26.626 --> 00:48:28.286
age, gender, however you want to do it.
00:48:29.047 --> 00:48:30.088
And then you get somebody with a good
00:48:30.148 --> 00:48:32.228
coding degree or me with chat GPT for
00:48:32.648 --> 00:48:33.728
probably six weeks, but you know,
00:48:33.768 --> 00:48:34.809
someone else smarter would get it done
00:48:34.849 --> 00:48:35.170
faster.
00:48:35.610 --> 00:48:36.590
And then you figure out a way to
00:48:36.610 --> 00:48:38.490
be like, okay, input that person's thing.
00:48:38.831 --> 00:48:40.550
And then it's constantly on the scroll.
00:48:40.992 --> 00:48:42.672
Why do you keep putting money in Ms.
00:48:42.731 --> 00:48:43.271
Pac-Man?
00:48:43.291 --> 00:48:45.012
Because I want to put my three initials
00:48:45.052 --> 00:48:45.972
at the top of the list.
00:48:46.273 --> 00:48:47.893
We are big, dumb animals.
00:48:48.193 --> 00:48:50.135
We want to score well.
00:48:50.195 --> 00:48:51.916
I think the access is trivia or
00:48:52.335 --> 00:48:53.077
competition.
00:48:53.717 --> 00:48:55.257
How do I connect out of these walls?
00:48:55.297 --> 00:48:57.838
Why am I doing this?
00:48:57.878 --> 00:48:58.880
Is it to beat someone?
00:48:59.320 --> 00:49:01.021
I ride like a moron when there's someone
00:49:01.041 --> 00:49:02.222
close to me in Peloton.
00:49:02.561 --> 00:49:04.663
I blow up my entire workout to beat
00:49:04.702 --> 00:49:06.583
that person that I'll never see again.
00:49:06.884 --> 00:49:08.545
I'm like, but that's right.
00:49:08.644 --> 00:49:09.166
That's right.
00:49:09.206 --> 00:49:10.306
You're three points behind me.
00:49:10.326 --> 00:49:10.927
That's right.
00:49:11.206 --> 00:49:12.827
And I get off the bike a little
00:49:12.847 --> 00:49:13.148
taller.
00:49:13.922 --> 00:49:14.983
Well, I have to think about it,
00:49:15.023 --> 00:49:17.085
but I definitely think, you know,
00:49:17.244 --> 00:49:17.925
like you said,
00:49:18.365 --> 00:49:20.228
you can make this a cognitive game.
00:49:20.248 --> 00:49:21.690
You can make it a physical game.
00:49:22.230 --> 00:49:23.592
You can just bring games.
00:49:23.632 --> 00:49:26.914
Like I bought a cornhole set years ago
00:49:27.275 --> 00:49:29.056
for my shoulder patients because I wanted
00:49:29.077 --> 00:49:31.440
them doing like a version of a pendulum
00:49:31.800 --> 00:49:33.442
throwing a cornhole bag.
00:49:34.601 --> 00:49:36.023
There are so many things that we could
00:49:36.063 --> 00:49:36.362
do with it.
00:49:36.443 --> 00:49:38.483
And then we're just talking outpatient
00:49:38.603 --> 00:49:39.983
ortho because that's our world.
00:49:40.324 --> 00:49:42.505
The stuff that I see neuro doing
00:49:42.626 --> 00:49:44.806
outpatient neuro is just phenomenal.
00:49:45.266 --> 00:49:45.686
And, you know,
00:49:45.726 --> 00:49:50.009
you set up the overhead system so that
00:49:50.429 --> 00:49:51.889
they can't fall because they have the
00:49:52.208 --> 00:49:52.869
harness on.
00:49:54.005 --> 00:49:56.288
you just build your own obstacle course
00:49:56.307 --> 00:49:57.108
kind of stuff.
00:49:57.148 --> 00:49:57.768
You know, there,
00:49:57.829 --> 00:50:00.090
there is so much that's out there,
00:50:00.572 --> 00:50:01.592
but like you said, you,
00:50:01.652 --> 00:50:02.393
you have the leader,
00:50:02.652 --> 00:50:03.673
you have the scoreboard,
00:50:03.954 --> 00:50:05.235
you make it interactive,
00:50:05.255 --> 00:50:06.096
you have the big TV.
00:50:07.097 --> 00:50:08.538
So you'd have to be a way for
00:50:08.617 --> 00:50:09.239
us to see it.
00:50:09.818 --> 00:50:11.059
I would think a lie,
00:50:11.079 --> 00:50:13.041
like some sort of live stream or website
00:50:13.322 --> 00:50:14.382
that all you'd have to do is put
00:50:14.422 --> 00:50:16.784
like a USB into a TV and then
00:50:16.824 --> 00:50:17.945
go to a website and it just does
00:50:17.965 --> 00:50:18.927
the thing, right?
00:50:18.967 --> 00:50:20.628
This is also the,
00:50:20.728 --> 00:50:22.068
have you guys ever seen the chive?
00:50:22.898 --> 00:50:24.958
The TV channel, the TV channel, the chive.
00:50:25.039 --> 00:50:25.780
Oh, this is brilliant.
00:50:26.219 --> 00:50:28.141
You go into a sports bar at noon
00:50:28.201 --> 00:50:30.023
on a Tuesday and it's playing like,
00:50:30.043 --> 00:50:31.362
you know, there's seventy eight screens.
00:50:31.402 --> 00:50:32.744
But what's on like you're just watching.
00:50:32.923 --> 00:50:34.846
Oh, you mentioned this before.
00:50:35.106 --> 00:50:36.487
Chive is essentially.
00:50:37.947 --> 00:50:40.489
America's funniest home videos like just
00:50:40.509 --> 00:50:43.050
wrap it, but just of like sports videos.
00:50:43.389 --> 00:50:45.731
Dirt bikes, fails, not fails,
00:50:45.811 --> 00:50:46.572
hockey shots.
00:50:46.652 --> 00:50:48.172
It's a clip show.
00:50:48.474 --> 00:50:49.514
It's ridiculousness,
00:50:49.853 --> 00:50:50.994
twenty-four hours a day.
00:50:51.375 --> 00:50:51.596
Now,
00:50:52.016 --> 00:50:53.257
there's some sort of agreement I'd have to
00:50:53.297 --> 00:50:53.797
look into it.
00:50:53.836 --> 00:50:55.757
The bar gets to insert their own
00:50:55.778 --> 00:50:56.338
commercials.
00:50:57.059 --> 00:50:58.139
Now you're part of the chive.
00:50:58.179 --> 00:50:59.161
Number one, you get to play it.
00:50:59.181 --> 00:50:59.860
That's our content.
00:50:59.880 --> 00:51:00.661
You can't just play it.
00:51:01.021 --> 00:51:02.222
so we give that to you something to
00:51:02.242 --> 00:51:04.284
put on the screens chive is making their
00:51:04.324 --> 00:51:05.844
money because they get to insert net they
00:51:05.864 --> 00:51:07.364
get to insert their own ads and then
00:51:07.385 --> 00:51:08.806
they're like oh just drag and drop your
00:51:08.885 --> 00:51:10.425
ad here we'll make it for you whatever
00:51:10.686 --> 00:51:11.827
then you get your own so it's like
00:51:12.027 --> 00:51:13.447
you have the personalized television
00:51:13.967 --> 00:51:15.588
that's what you would need you would need
00:51:15.789 --> 00:51:17.449
something like that maybe it's not clips
00:51:17.530 --> 00:51:20.110
all the time but hey why wouldn't you
00:51:20.351 --> 00:51:21.451
now there would also need to be an
00:51:21.630 --> 00:51:22.612
easy interface
00:51:23.331 --> 00:51:26.592
stupidly easy for Tony or Dave when their
00:51:26.632 --> 00:51:29.253
patient did the sixty second sit to stand
00:51:29.273 --> 00:51:32.733
challenge to just be like Tony this clinic
00:51:33.014 --> 00:51:35.135
this patient name if they want to use
00:51:35.155 --> 00:51:36.554
their name or fake name and this many
00:51:36.594 --> 00:51:38.695
reps enter and now it computes where that
00:51:38.735 --> 00:51:40.876
person stands there it would need to be
00:51:41.016 --> 00:51:42.996
dumb easy for the clinician to get their
00:51:43.036 --> 00:51:44.237
patient on the board
00:51:45.170 --> 00:51:46.711
So rolling this together,
00:51:46.751 --> 00:51:48.052
and I know we're getting close to the
00:51:48.112 --> 00:51:48.472
hour.
00:51:49.693 --> 00:51:52.615
What if we set up a situation where
00:51:53.396 --> 00:51:56.378
we know that live sports is probably one
00:51:56.418 --> 00:51:58.760
of the few times people will watch live
00:51:58.780 --> 00:51:59.239
TV?
00:51:59.480 --> 00:52:00.981
Nobody wants to record a game and watch
00:52:01.021 --> 00:52:02.362
it later to cut out commercials.
00:52:03.333 --> 00:52:05.255
We know that here,
00:52:05.536 --> 00:52:07.237
everybody's watching the Reds, right?
00:52:07.277 --> 00:52:08.338
During baseball season,
00:52:08.358 --> 00:52:09.538
we're all watching the Reds.
00:52:09.898 --> 00:52:11.579
We're all gonna see the same commercials
00:52:11.719 --> 00:52:12.701
at the same time.
00:52:13.221 --> 00:52:16.123
What if local physical therapy clinics
00:52:16.182 --> 00:52:19.144
created an alternative network so that
00:52:19.304 --> 00:52:21.226
when the Reds cut to commercial,
00:52:21.927 --> 00:52:23.668
people bring out their phones anyway.
00:52:23.688 --> 00:52:25.250
I'm watching the Reds on TV,
00:52:25.309 --> 00:52:26.130
commercial hits,
00:52:26.250 --> 00:52:27.751
I grab my phone and go to social
00:52:27.791 --> 00:52:28.152
media.
00:52:28.911 --> 00:52:32.432
We have a network of content that plays
00:52:32.552 --> 00:52:35.594
live during the commercial between,
00:52:35.833 --> 00:52:36.195
you know,
00:52:36.295 --> 00:52:38.014
innings at the Reds game or whatever.
00:52:38.574 --> 00:52:40.096
You bring that into the Super Bowl.
00:52:40.195 --> 00:52:41.536
Obviously, if you don't want to watch,
00:52:41.655 --> 00:52:42.516
I know Super Bowl,
00:52:42.536 --> 00:52:44.117
you want to watch the commercials.
00:52:44.577 --> 00:52:45.036
But like,
00:52:45.297 --> 00:52:47.378
what if we can tie in some sort
00:52:47.518 --> 00:52:49.219
of live media?
00:52:50.204 --> 00:52:51.945
where we deliver our content,
00:52:52.365 --> 00:52:55.047
specifically time to when the TV networks
00:52:55.106 --> 00:52:56.987
cut to commercials that people don't want
00:52:57.007 --> 00:52:57.509
to watch,
00:52:57.909 --> 00:52:59.889
but that they could watch on their cell
00:52:59.909 --> 00:53:01.411
phones, on their mobile devices,
00:53:01.451 --> 00:53:02.170
things like that.
00:53:03.130 --> 00:53:05.032
I used to listen to my competitors,
00:53:05.192 --> 00:53:06.652
and then later on in my radio career,
00:53:07.172 --> 00:53:08.853
I would have my interns listen to
00:53:08.914 --> 00:53:11.576
competitors and write down in a notebook
00:53:11.996 --> 00:53:13.996
and try to figure out my competition
00:53:14.056 --> 00:53:15.177
locally, their clock.
00:53:15.197 --> 00:53:17.297
Right.
00:53:17.318 --> 00:53:18.018
Clock meaning...
00:53:20.114 --> 00:53:21.454
What that radio station did, like, oh,
00:53:21.494 --> 00:53:22.994
we start the hour and we play two
00:53:23.054 --> 00:53:24.135
songs and we go to commercial.
00:53:24.215 --> 00:53:25.494
We play three songs and we go to
00:53:25.534 --> 00:53:25.934
commercial.
00:53:26.434 --> 00:53:27.795
I would always try to not be in
00:53:27.835 --> 00:53:29.135
commercial when they were in commercial.
00:53:29.735 --> 00:53:30.956
And if they weren't, I was close.
00:53:30.996 --> 00:53:31.916
I'm like, then I'm going to be this.
00:53:31.996 --> 00:53:32.936
I'll push for half.
00:53:33.356 --> 00:53:34.697
I was playing those games, dude.
00:53:35.217 --> 00:53:35.876
I was like,
00:53:35.896 --> 00:53:37.277
you will listen to them for five hours
00:53:37.297 --> 00:53:38.737
and you tell me exactly when they break
00:53:39.117 --> 00:53:39.677
every time.
00:53:39.958 --> 00:53:42.237
So yes, timing, frequency, intensity,
00:53:42.277 --> 00:53:43.458
time, type, volume, progression.
00:53:43.597 --> 00:53:44.438
Time is one of them.
00:53:44.579 --> 00:53:46.219
The when is important as well.
00:53:46.786 --> 00:53:48.485
There used to be a TV network,
00:53:48.545 --> 00:53:49.407
I can't remember,
00:53:49.806 --> 00:53:51.987
that started their shows at the five
00:53:52.027 --> 00:53:52.547
minute mark.
00:53:52.568 --> 00:53:52.628
Yes.
00:53:53.088 --> 00:53:54.728
Because you would be able to see what
00:53:54.768 --> 00:53:56.628
the other shows were and then you would
00:53:56.668 --> 00:53:58.528
go to them and their show hadn't started
00:53:58.568 --> 00:53:58.829
yet.
00:53:58.849 --> 00:54:01.570
You remember how long show intros used to
00:54:01.610 --> 00:54:01.869
be?
00:54:02.210 --> 00:54:04.351
Like the intro for like Family Matters
00:54:04.411 --> 00:54:05.831
used to be like ninety seconds.
00:54:06.351 --> 00:54:07.891
Now you get a cold open.
00:54:08.768 --> 00:54:10.750
Like, it just starts mid-sentence in,
00:54:11.489 --> 00:54:12.349
like, Modern Family.
00:54:12.389 --> 00:54:14.050
It's, like, Phil falling down the stairs.
00:54:14.411 --> 00:54:14.951
You're hooked.
00:54:15.811 --> 00:54:17.092
Then they give you the first, like,
00:54:17.231 --> 00:54:18.652
LOL giggle.
00:54:18.831 --> 00:54:19.791
Then they hit you with, like,
00:54:19.871 --> 00:54:22.032
a twelve-second Family Matters montage,
00:54:22.072 --> 00:54:23.233
and we're back into the story.
00:54:23.452 --> 00:54:24.333
Because they understand...
00:54:25.333 --> 00:54:26.355
sunk cost fallacy.
00:54:26.394 --> 00:54:27.514
If I'm already eight minutes in,
00:54:27.574 --> 00:54:29.715
I've missed who killed the person in law
00:54:29.735 --> 00:54:30.056
and order.
00:54:30.135 --> 00:54:30.637
I missed it.
00:54:30.657 --> 00:54:31.056
All right.
00:54:31.097 --> 00:54:31.277
Well,
00:54:31.556 --> 00:54:33.117
that's why the murder happens in the first
00:54:33.237 --> 00:54:34.498
ninety seconds of law and order.
00:54:34.878 --> 00:54:36.998
Now it's the whole ninety eight percent of
00:54:37.039 --> 00:54:38.059
the rest of it is who done it.
00:54:38.500 --> 00:54:39.721
These are all principles we have to
00:54:39.740 --> 00:54:40.260
compete on now.
00:54:40.798 --> 00:54:43.219
Let's tease a future episode.
00:54:43.559 --> 00:54:45.780
We've talked about the hook and all that
00:54:45.860 --> 00:54:47.780
stuff for marketing.
00:54:48.161 --> 00:54:49.400
What about for the treatment?
00:54:49.862 --> 00:54:52.121
What about the minute the patient walks in
00:54:52.161 --> 00:54:53.943
the door for a treatment,
00:54:54.302 --> 00:54:56.764
we open with a hook for the treatment
00:54:56.804 --> 00:54:57.224
session.
00:54:57.824 --> 00:55:00.565
And then we go through the psychology just
00:55:00.625 --> 00:55:01.764
like we would run an ad.
00:55:02.244 --> 00:55:04.286
But we do it for a treatment session.
00:55:04.445 --> 00:55:05.346
We should do that.
00:55:05.686 --> 00:55:08.266
Jenna Hoyos, who's the girl that Mr.
00:55:08.306 --> 00:55:10.186
Beast has said can make any clip go
00:55:10.226 --> 00:55:10.786
viral.
00:55:11.688 --> 00:55:12.487
Jenna Hoyos.
00:55:12.547 --> 00:55:13.867
And she's given away the formula and
00:55:13.887 --> 00:55:14.967
people still ignore it.
00:55:15.429 --> 00:55:16.588
I run it through that filter when I've
00:55:16.628 --> 00:55:17.248
created my videos.
00:55:17.289 --> 00:55:18.309
You see the video I sent you guys
00:55:18.329 --> 00:55:19.289
with the dude with the six pack and
00:55:19.309 --> 00:55:21.730
the ring light formula for that,
00:55:22.289 --> 00:55:24.010
which is you have to hook me.
00:55:25.177 --> 00:55:27.539
I see PTs online now turning the cameras
00:55:27.559 --> 00:55:28.358
to themselves a lot.
00:55:28.438 --> 00:55:29.260
I love this.
00:55:29.920 --> 00:55:32.382
And the first ten seconds are high.
00:55:32.842 --> 00:55:34.903
I'm Troy McClure and I have eleven
00:55:34.943 --> 00:55:37.985
certifications and I live in Kansas and
00:55:38.005 --> 00:55:39.447
I'm like, boop, they're gone, bro.
00:55:39.867 --> 00:55:40.568
They're gone.
00:55:41.068 --> 00:55:42.869
Maybe do that later or do that as
00:55:42.889 --> 00:55:43.931
a lower third graphic.
00:55:43.971 --> 00:55:44.210
Why?
00:55:44.371 --> 00:55:45.952
Because it doesn't matter.
00:55:46.112 --> 00:55:48.173
So yeah, what if we mimicked
00:55:48.994 --> 00:55:49.655
a hook?
00:55:49.976 --> 00:55:53.199
What if we mimicked the psychology of a
00:55:53.639 --> 00:55:55.061
piece of viral content of a treatment
00:55:55.342 --> 00:55:55.643
plan?
00:55:56.123 --> 00:55:57.244
That is a side-by-side.
00:55:57.344 --> 00:55:58.347
Okay, wait.
00:55:58.467 --> 00:55:59.427
We'll do parting shots,
00:56:00.489 --> 00:56:02.512
but we are getting fined by the NFL.
00:56:03.413 --> 00:56:05.295
The commissioner just called because Tony
00:56:05.356 --> 00:56:05.596
said...
00:56:06.336 --> 00:56:07.836
The S word you said instead of the
00:56:07.876 --> 00:56:09.538
big super game football game.
00:56:10.157 --> 00:56:11.318
We do want to make sure we can
00:56:11.358 --> 00:56:14.398
now pay for that fine with our sponsor,
00:56:14.599 --> 00:56:16.280
TheraBand Credit Union,
00:56:16.380 --> 00:56:18.320
the only financial institution for rehab
00:56:18.340 --> 00:56:20.621
professionals who financed one too many
00:56:20.681 --> 00:56:21.340
CEUs.
00:56:21.721 --> 00:56:22.802
At the TheraBand Credit Union,
00:56:22.842 --> 00:56:23.782
we understand your pain.
00:56:23.802 --> 00:56:25.682
That's why we offer flexible, get it,
00:56:25.983 --> 00:56:27.983
loan options in light, medium,
00:56:28.103 --> 00:56:29.503
and extra heavy resistance.
00:56:29.804 --> 00:56:30.963
Whether you're opening a clinic,
00:56:31.023 --> 00:56:32.483
buying a second shockwave machine,
00:56:32.503 --> 00:56:34.224
or just trying to survive Q for payroll...
00:56:34.625 --> 00:56:36.385
We stretch your money.
00:56:36.505 --> 00:56:38.065
Like you stretch your hamstrings.
00:56:38.085 --> 00:56:38.925
They're a bank credit union,
00:56:38.965 --> 00:56:40.766
stretching your dollars and your
00:56:40.786 --> 00:56:41.907
shoulders, parting shots.
00:56:41.967 --> 00:56:43.427
What do we got?
00:56:43.467 --> 00:56:44.407
Dave, what you got?
00:56:46.347 --> 00:56:46.887
Uh, man.
00:56:47.168 --> 00:56:47.367
Um,
00:56:47.907 --> 00:56:50.708
I think more creativity is needed in the
00:56:50.728 --> 00:56:53.148
physical therapy world to on the front
00:56:53.228 --> 00:56:53.469
end,
00:56:53.528 --> 00:56:55.670
start with how can we all as practice
00:56:55.730 --> 00:56:58.610
owners and clinics get attention even
00:56:58.630 --> 00:56:59.411
before marketing.
00:56:59.490 --> 00:57:01.210
I've been so focused on marketing for the
00:57:01.231 --> 00:57:03.632
past five or ten years that, um,
00:57:04.391 --> 00:57:06.835
I'm now transitioning a little bit more to
00:57:06.875 --> 00:57:08.898
different ideas and testing things around
00:57:09.338 --> 00:57:11.021
attention and more of that to come.
00:57:11.322 --> 00:57:13.403
And what we were just talking about is
00:57:13.423 --> 00:57:15.186
really about attention first and then
00:57:15.327 --> 00:57:16.588
everything else flows after that.
00:57:17.398 --> 00:57:18.057
greed.
00:57:18.077 --> 00:57:19.778
You're in the attention business.
00:57:20.278 --> 00:57:20.820
The next time,
00:57:20.880 --> 00:57:22.039
if I ever have a nine to five
00:57:22.059 --> 00:57:22.260
again,
00:57:22.280 --> 00:57:24.320
my title will be director of the attention
00:57:24.360 --> 00:57:24.880
department.
00:57:25.061 --> 00:57:25.882
That's what I want to work in.
00:57:25.902 --> 00:57:26.842
I don't want to work in the marketing
00:57:26.862 --> 00:57:27.242
department.
00:57:27.322 --> 00:57:28.503
Chief attention officer.
00:57:29.123 --> 00:57:31.965
Attention of C-A-O.
00:57:32.164 --> 00:57:32.565
Cow.
00:57:32.724 --> 00:57:32.985
Cow.
00:57:33.045 --> 00:57:33.284
Cow.
00:57:33.304 --> 00:57:34.525
Cow.
00:57:36.358 --> 00:57:38.039
Hey, pull that comment back up.
00:57:38.059 --> 00:57:38.820
Parting shot.
00:57:38.900 --> 00:57:39.260
So,
00:57:40.001 --> 00:57:42.264
Movique says PT is the movement
00:57:42.304 --> 00:57:43.005
profession,
00:57:43.045 --> 00:57:44.967
yet movement still lacks standardized
00:57:44.987 --> 00:57:46.688
diagnostic infrastructure.
00:57:47.329 --> 00:57:48.010
Totally true.
00:57:48.331 --> 00:57:49.052
Totally true.
00:57:49.132 --> 00:57:51.414
The only thing I would question is,
00:57:51.655 --> 00:57:52.376
does it matter?
00:57:52.835 --> 00:57:53.757
Honestly, like, does...
00:57:54.338 --> 00:57:55.358
Does it matter?
00:57:55.719 --> 00:57:57.981
We all talk about, you know, posture.
00:57:58.041 --> 00:58:00.202
Posture used to be the biggest thing.
00:58:00.262 --> 00:58:01.222
Now it doesn't matter.
00:58:01.262 --> 00:58:03.164
We used to talk about technique used to
00:58:03.184 --> 00:58:03.945
be the biggest thing.
00:58:03.985 --> 00:58:04.846
Now it doesn't matter.
00:58:05.365 --> 00:58:09.389
Tell us why a standardized diagnostic
00:58:09.530 --> 00:58:11.731
matters because people are going to move
00:58:11.771 --> 00:58:12.251
differently.
00:58:13.152 --> 00:58:15.414
And so that's I think what matters.
00:58:15.454 --> 00:58:16.335
That's my parting shot.
00:58:18.355 --> 00:58:18.795
Yeah.
00:58:18.896 --> 00:58:20.315
Is it worth their time or money?
00:58:21.295 --> 00:58:23.536
If you're saving me time, making me money,
00:58:23.617 --> 00:58:26.177
or solving a problem that you can clearly
00:58:26.197 --> 00:58:27.518
define, that's good.
00:58:27.838 --> 00:58:29.938
I'm going to second Dave's parting shot.
00:58:29.978 --> 00:58:32.159
Mine was also that, which is move fast,
00:58:32.199 --> 00:58:32.760
break things.
00:58:33.360 --> 00:58:34.400
You need to be creative.
00:58:34.699 --> 00:58:36.121
We are getting more and more competitive.
00:58:36.760 --> 00:58:37.681
This will not change.
00:58:37.722 --> 00:58:38.802
This will only increase.
00:58:39.362 --> 00:58:40.983
So you need to figure out how you
00:58:41.003 --> 00:58:43.525
can gain attention first.
00:58:43.625 --> 00:58:46.045
The letters after your name are after your
00:58:46.085 --> 00:58:47.407
name for a reason because they don't
00:58:47.447 --> 00:58:48.106
matter that much.
00:58:48.507 --> 00:58:49.447
We'll be back on Thursday.
00:58:49.467 --> 00:58:51.248
Maybe we'll do that Jenna Hoyos parallel
00:58:51.289 --> 00:58:51.708
side-by-side.
00:58:51.728 --> 00:58:52.489
I'll work on that now.
00:58:54.110 --> 00:58:55.210
And I'll see a lot of you at
00:58:55.251 --> 00:58:56.891
CSM next week.
00:58:56.972 --> 00:58:57.632
I'll be at the U.S.
00:58:57.672 --> 00:58:59.072
Physical Therapy booth doing a live
00:58:59.112 --> 00:58:59.432
stream.
00:58:59.733 --> 00:59:01.034
You can heckle me and throw things at
00:59:01.054 --> 00:59:01.733
me while we're live.
00:59:01.873 --> 00:59:02.275
All right, guys.
00:59:02.295 --> 00:59:02.735
We'll see you later.
00:59:04.708 --> 00:59:04.949
That's it.
00:59:04.969 --> 00:59:05.188
We're out.
00:59:05.208 --> 00:59:06.690
Boys, what the hell are you doing?

And hey, just a reminder,
00:59:26.514 --> 00:59:27.815
none of this was for advice.
00:59:27.835 --> 00:59:29.155
This was for entertainment only.
00:59:29.615 --> 00:59:30.996
Our lawyers say that counts.
00:59:31.077 --> 00:59:31.856
Thanks, Keith.
