0:03
So I'm going to let the cat out
0:04
of the bag.
0:05
Yes.
0:06
Every day before this show,
0:08
I sit and think,
0:10
do I hate and bash on the WFP
0:13
or do I let them be today?
0:15
Find out what our decision is next.
0:30
I love the chase and the hunt,
0:31
and I set the pace when I'm running.
0:33
I always take what I want,
0:34
and I always give it one hundred.
0:36
Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.
0:37
Play the game like it's nothing.
0:39
I'm always thankful for something.
0:40
Don't take for granted, stay humble.
0:42
Now wake up!
0:43
It's time to look at the enemy.
0:45
Look in the mirror if he is no
0:47
friend to me.
0:48
It's not working out,
0:50
maybe it's the chemistry.
0:51
It's time to break up so I can
0:53
make a better me.
0:54
D-O-W-N!
0:59
it's lunch time what is going on everybody
1:03
welcome to lunch with the Clydesdale it's
1:05
me Scott and him oh boy we are
1:09
here live lunch hour time we're definitely
1:14
live we are live live so if you
1:20
didn't catch my open
1:23
didn't catch my open we have to make
1:25
the decision every single day do we hate
1:29
on the wfp or do we let them
1:31
be for the day and the reason i
1:34
say that is i have one pet peeve
1:37
right every day i come on here with
1:39
my face with my name and i say
1:43
things right
1:46
My favorite thing in the whole world is
1:48
when people have burner accounts on
1:51
YouTube and drop into the comments and
1:54
call you a liar and a hater and
1:58
a CrossFit lover and all these things,
2:01
right?
2:04
And you have no idea who they are
2:06
because they won't identify themselves.
2:10
And it's okay for them to say whatever
2:12
they want.
2:15
without any repercussions because they're
2:17
not going to tell you who they are,
2:20
but you've got to be with WFP because
2:22
they know inside information that they put
2:24
in your chat that hadn't been released to
2:26
the public yet.
2:30
Super easy to hide behind a keyboard.
2:33
And two days ago in the thumbnail of
2:36
the show, it said,
2:37
why aren't people signing up for the,
2:39
for WFP?
2:41
They took that as a blatant offense and
2:43
a hate to WFP.
2:47
To WFP.
2:53
And... Anyway.
3:00
I hope my wife just placed an order
3:02
because I'm getting texts that it's
3:04
coming.
3:09
And if you listen to the show...
3:11
I actually say, you know,
3:13
they actually did have a lot of people
3:14
from their top twenty sign up.
3:17
And I did say that I think they
3:19
are right-sizing and getting into the
3:20
right path of where they will be
3:23
successful.
3:24
But they only saw the thumbnail and had
3:29
to blast me as a liar.
3:32
There is an unfortunate trend,
3:36
I guess you could say,
3:37
of people who just read headlines.
3:40
And just react to that.
3:44
And without putting their name on the
3:45
reaction.
3:46
Correct.
3:47
Correct.
3:48
They read a headline.
3:49
They react to that.
3:50
They're hiding behind a burner account to
3:52
begin with.
3:52
And they'll just say stuff.
3:55
Oh, you're just a...
3:58
Did you actually listen to anything I
3:59
said?
3:59
No, no, no.
4:00
I just read the headline.
4:03
In my response back,
4:04
which I have not been responding,
4:05
but I did, I said, well,
4:07
thank you for not listening to the show.
4:13
Appreciate it.
4:13
Vicky says, cowards, I'd use other words,
4:15
but I'll keep it civil.
4:18
Lito, CrossFit lovers and insult,
4:20
apparently.
4:21
Yeah, I don't get that.
4:26
As I sit here in my open twenty
4:27
twenty six shirt.
4:28
Very nice.
4:30
Right.
4:32
It's just crazy to me.
4:34
And the whole thing is wild.
4:36
And you want to spend and I'm only
4:38
assuming.
4:40
with some evidence that you work for WFP
4:47
because you know this information.
4:49
I'm only assuming that.
4:51
But you want to spend your time coming
4:54
into little old me's chat with a couple
4:56
hundred viewers a day and the comments and
5:00
blast me instead of making sure that
5:03
you've updated your rulebook correctly for
5:06
the upcoming season.
5:09
Or literally doing anything else to help
5:11
yourself.
5:13
Right?
5:14
How about be productive?
5:18
How about find ways to correct the issues
5:20
you've had?
5:22
Yeah, asking a whole lot right there,
5:23
Scott.
5:28
Oh, Mr. Stan.
5:30
CrossFit lover didn't well admit there
5:32
would be no WFP without CrossFit.
5:34
Well, no, no.
5:34
He had said that he invented CrossFit when
5:37
he was in high school before Greg did.
5:41
So really he's saying there would be no
5:44
WFP without him.
5:47
Clearly teenage will.
5:50
was in there just just knocking it down
5:54
well before greg ever got any kind of
5:56
ideas about putting a front squat and a
5:59
push press together or trying to go real
6:03
fast for real short you know real hard
6:05
for real shorts well had all that on
6:08
lock well before any of that any of
6:10
that time
6:13
Rich said it, though, pretty short.
6:15
Rich, I think,
6:15
did say that it was Austin who said
6:18
there would be no WFP without CrossFit.
6:21
Austin's the one that pushed back.
6:24
Austin was the only one that pushed back
6:26
in that interview.
6:28
Good form, though.
6:29
Austin just left from freaking HQ.
6:31
Like, he's...
6:33
He's been there forever, right?
6:35
He's not just going to be like, oh,
6:37
yeah,
6:37
and just let Will say whatever he wants
6:38
to say.
6:40
Rich is going to interview the dude,
6:41
let him, he's going to give him rope,
6:43
give him rope, give him rope,
6:44
and just let him say whatever he wants
6:45
to say and just be Rich,
6:47
which is a nice guy,
6:47
and he's going to sit there and be
6:48
like, oh, oh, yeah, okay.
6:50
Mm-hmm.
6:50
I understand because Hiller did a video.
6:53
Jenny did a video.
6:54
Both did an excellent job clipping
6:56
everything up,
6:57
making specific statements and why wasn't
6:59
there follow-up.
7:00
At the end of the day,
7:02
he wasn't going to answer anything anyway.
7:03
Yeah.
7:04
Or he was going to contradict himself.
7:06
So at one point as the interviewer,
7:10
you're just frustrated because like Austin
7:13
pushed and pushed and pushed and he never
7:14
did answer that question.
7:16
It's all smoke and mirrors.
7:18
Mm-hmm.
7:20
So I got a little something right here
7:21
and what's in this head.
7:23
Yeah.
7:25
So like at some point you just were
7:28
like, well, why even try?
7:29
Cause he's not going to,
7:32
to say anything of value at this point.
7:35
We can't even have a conversation of how
7:38
it might be better.
7:40
Right.
7:41
It was obvious that he believes that his
7:43
way is the way,
7:45
and that is the way they're going to
7:46
continue to run their, their shop.
7:49
And it, there is no better way.
7:51
And cool.
7:52
That's what you want to do.
7:54
Go for it there, buddy boy,
7:55
knock yourself out.
7:57
I think it's my,
7:58
my favorite thing was that when he said
8:00
we put on three events and we streamed
8:04
all of them and broadcast them and
8:05
nobody's ever done that before.
8:09
except for crossfit when they literally
8:11
broadcast every single regional that ever
8:14
happened in consecutive weekends back to
8:17
back to back to back over and over
8:19
and over again or any other sporting event
8:23
that's ever been on tv ever i mean
8:26
some baseball games have double headers
8:28
and they broadcast both of them no way
8:32
no it's so hard to believe it's so
8:35
hard to believe
8:37
Uh, first CrossFit workout was posted in.
8:40
Yeah,
8:40
we just had the twenty-fifth anniversary
8:42
yet.
8:42
Uh, two days ago yesterday, some,
8:43
like somewhere, uh, at least the faith,
8:47
uh, and will was ten years old.
8:50
Yeah.
8:51
I'm George.
8:52
The more I listen to him,
8:53
the more I become,
8:55
the more annoyed I become.
8:56
He is effing delusional.
8:58
Rich left him off the hook.
9:00
Again, I think there's,
9:01
as someone who has interviewed people in
9:03
the past,
9:04
you have interviewees that are willing to
9:07
go with you on the ride and you
9:09
have others that are fighting you on the
9:10
ride.
9:11
And at some point as the interviewer,
9:13
you just get tired.
9:15
And if I'm sitting there and I see
9:17
Austin begging for him to just say an
9:20
answer,
9:22
over and over again like you get defeated
9:24
and you're like well at this point why
9:27
why even try why bother why bother yes
9:33
grid league and so like it's i don't
9:35
think it's that austin is the only one
9:36
with a spine i've seen vander sloot come
9:39
hard right i've seen angelo come hard i
9:43
think that they just realized at some
9:45
point we weren't getting anywhere with any
9:48
of this
9:49
I think they brought him on thinking that
9:51
they were going to have a decent
9:52
conversation with him,
9:55
If you're not looking to push anything,
9:57
it was right.
9:59
They seem to have a good time.
10:00
They were laughing, joking,
10:02
messing around, whatever.
10:04
And that's what they did.
10:05
Austin wanted answers.
10:07
He was trying to get answers,
10:08
but after a while, like you said,
10:10
there's just only so much you can do.
10:12
And you're just like, okay, well,
10:13
this guy's not going to say anything.
10:14
So I guess we'll just go back to
10:15
talking about his favorite color or
10:17
whatever else he wants to talk about how
10:18
much weed he smoked last week.
10:22
So Shay asked why even invite him and
10:23
Ed hits it right on the point.
10:25
How many people clipped it?
10:26
How many people viewed it?
10:28
Like if you're looking for YouTube
10:30
analytics,
10:31
like it has kicked it out of the
10:32
park.
10:33
Hiller had sixty three clips on his own.
10:37
Like clip sixty three different things.
10:40
Just Hiller.
10:41
Even Grid League broadcast like four
10:43
matches a week.
10:44
Yeah, they do.
10:45
On the same day.
10:46
And they do a good job.
10:49
One of my good friends does Grid League.
10:51
I've watched him several different times.
10:53
Or sixty-five.
10:54
Sorry.
10:58
Tristan says,
10:58
I just don't think the rest of them
10:59
cared.
10:59
I think there was a point where they
11:01
just didn't care anymore.
11:02
They weren't getting any content of any
11:05
significance.
11:06
And therefore, why even try?
11:13
Yeah.
11:13
Um...
11:19
Totally true, but everyone is like that.
11:20
When you bring up the open,
11:21
not testing everything it used to,
11:23
people steer away.
11:24
They don't want the conversation.
11:26
Will doesn't want the CrossFit
11:28
conversation.
11:32
I think a lot of people have talked
11:34
about the open in three weeks and not
11:36
being enough to test everything.
11:38
I think on our show,
11:39
we've talked about ways to change that by
11:42
carrying over those scores to
11:43
quarterfinals where you can get a more
11:46
complete test.
11:47
We've talked about those things.
11:48
We haven't avoided them.
11:51
But I think you're right.
11:52
I think that Will just wants to run
11:54
it his way.
11:55
He thinks his way is best,
11:57
and he doesn't want to hear from other
11:58
people.
12:04
Ed AI is on the East Coast for
12:06
vacation.
12:07
It's too bright and sunny here.
12:08
How do you all live like this?
12:11
Every day, baby boy.
12:12
It's seventy four and sunny down here.
12:19
Oh, look, speaking of Hiller.
12:21
Yeah.
12:23
Howie there.
12:25
I wasn't hiding behind anything with my
12:27
comments.
12:27
Scott Hiller had sure of made sure of
12:30
that, apparently.
12:31
Yeah.
12:32
I wasn't talking about you, Howie.
12:35
I know who you are.
12:37
Correct.
12:38
It's these other people with their burner
12:40
accounts hopping into the comments that I
12:43
have an issue with.
12:48
So that's that.
12:49
I think Hiller and Jenny and everybody did
12:52
a great job clipping it all up.
12:53
We've talked about it for two days.
12:57
It is what it is.
12:58
They're going to do it however they want
12:59
to do it.
13:00
And this ship's going to sink in a
13:02
couple years when they're out of money.
13:05
And there we are.
13:06
At this point, I find it amusing.
13:08
I really, really do.
13:09
Because everybody's been asking the dude
13:11
the same questions for a year and a
13:13
half now,
13:13
and he has not answered one yet.
13:16
So kudos to him for just redirecting or
13:20
just...
13:21
saying nothing, you know,
13:23
saying something while saying nothing like
13:24
the entire time.
13:26
And he keeps getting invited to come on
13:28
the podcast with people.
13:29
Like, cause somebody,
13:31
everybody else is like,
13:31
I'm going to crack this guy this time.
13:33
And like, not even Pedro,
13:35
who was really good at getting people to
13:38
answer questions that they might not want
13:39
to necessarily want to answer.
13:42
Like he was just,
13:43
he was stone faced the entire time.
13:45
We're just kind of like, yeah, whatever.
13:46
Moving right along.
13:48
So good for him.
13:50
It's sad to me that it could have
13:54
been a cool thing if it was placed
13:57
in the right part of the season,
13:59
if it was for the right athletes.
14:01
I talked about that yesterday.
14:03
I think, you know,
14:04
the Sidney McAlishans of the world and
14:06
like the Erica Folos and the
14:09
Chris Ibarra,
14:10
it was a great testing ground for them
14:13
and to subsidize themselves for the
14:14
season.
14:15
And they could have made it somewhat cool.
14:18
But with this leadership,
14:20
it's going nowhere.
14:23
After seeing that interview with Will,
14:25
I've given up all hope that this ship
14:28
will ever turn.
14:30
I think my favorite part of Hiller's recap
14:32
yesterday was whenever he brought up
14:34
Will's post about leadership.
14:41
This is leadership.
14:42
You think Dave Castro would ever do
14:45
anything even remotely close to that,
14:47
saying that, hey,
14:48
look at how great I am of a
14:49
leader?
14:50
I'm going to tell you right now.
14:52
No, no.
14:54
No good leader does.
14:55
No good leader tells you how good of
14:58
a leader they are.
14:59
They show you how good of a leader
15:00
they are.
15:01
You are too busy actually doing stuff to
15:05
stop and pat yourself on the back for
15:07
being fantastic at what you do.
15:11
so here here's the this is where like
15:15
i was a supporter of the wfp and
15:17
when i when i stopped supporting was when
15:20
i talked to people that were hired by
15:22
them to do a job yeah after the
15:25
event they were asked to give feedback
15:28
everybody who gave negative feedback was
15:30
let go
15:36
And these are people that I have known
15:39
for ten years around the space who were
15:46
saying what they felt and were told that
15:49
it was an open dialogue because they want
15:51
to be better.
15:52
And when they gave negative feedback,
15:54
they were let go.
15:57
The minute you can't take constructive
16:00
criticism is the minute that your ship is
16:04
going to sink.
16:08
Tell us what you think.
16:10
Okay.
16:10
Whoa, not like that.
16:15
So now they're surrounded by all yes men
16:17
who all just are in the same agreement
16:19
on the same page,
16:21
doing the same thing in whatever direction
16:23
they decide is right and damn be everybody
16:26
else.
16:28
And I don't,
16:29
and we don't care what anybody else thinks
16:31
or even if it's valid or not.
16:33
Correct.
16:34
We have a plan and we're going forward.
16:39
So the minute that happened, it was over.
16:49
Vicky,
16:49
tell us what you think without telling us
16:51
what you think.
16:53
Exactly.
16:55
Yeah.
16:56
I was talking to people face-to-face at
16:58
the games who had worked on Tour Stop
17:01
One.
17:02
And I was asking what the experience was
17:04
like.
17:04
And they said, well, I'll tell you,
17:06
I'm no longer there.
17:10
Because they asked for feedback.
17:12
I gave it and they let me go.
17:14
And it was way more than one person
17:18
who gave me that exact same story.
17:25
It's fantastic.
17:25
It's insane.
17:31
Larry is going to beat this drum until
17:33
the cows come home.
17:34
Dave cares less.
17:35
Even if doing the same workouts hurt the
17:36
open registration, he won't budge.
17:39
Larry,
17:39
we don't know what hurts the open
17:41
registration because we haven't had a
17:42
clean five years.
17:45
We had COVID.
17:46
We had the death of Lazar.
17:49
We haven't had a clean five years to
17:50
know if registration would continue on an
17:53
upward trend or not.
17:56
And until Tyler put out that open
17:59
document, state of the open document,
18:02
that's the first time I've seen in a
18:03
very concise manner in greater than three
18:07
font.
18:07
Anybody say any of that stuff?
18:10
Yeah.
18:14
When you reduce the open down to three
18:16
weeks,
18:17
you are very limited in what you can
18:18
do.
18:21
It's just a fact.
18:23
I know you want to lift heavy.
18:25
I know you want heavy workouts in the
18:27
open.
18:27
You like to lift heavy.
18:29
It ain't going to happen.
18:31
And that will be whoever is running the
18:35
open to allow every gym to allow their
18:39
people in.
18:42
It has to be a tool for the
18:43
affiliates to use.
18:45
And you can't close out those gym members
18:49
who can't lift heavy.
19:00
Larry, I'm not kicking you out.
19:01
I'm willing to have the discussion.
19:04
I'm willing to have the discussion.
19:07
But the reality is this is where we're
19:10
at.
19:13
And the way it is designed today,
19:15
it should be you do three weeks of
19:18
the open.
19:19
You carry over your scores to the
19:20
quarterfinals.
19:21
And quarterfinals is when it gets serious.
19:24
Now you're down to twenty five percent of
19:26
the population.
19:27
Now you can play with the big boy
19:29
tools.
19:35
That's just the way it is.
19:44
Might be an unpopular opinion,
19:45
but the year when Boz programmed it,
19:47
it was much more complete test than the
19:49
last few years of Dave's programming.
19:51
You have to remember as well, Lito,
19:53
that Dave programmed the open the year Boz
19:57
took over the games.
20:02
that all of that had already been done
20:04
and was already in place before Dave was
20:08
let go.
20:10
He also looked at the entire season as
20:12
a thing.
20:13
So like from the open all the way
20:15
through quarterfinals, semifinals,
20:17
and then ultimately the games,
20:19
he's programming for the entire thing.
20:22
He's not just programming the Open for the
20:23
Open.
20:24
The Open's gonna start here.
20:25
This is where everybody starts, right?
20:27
That's their whole ad campaign or part of
20:28
it, right?
20:29
It starts here.
20:31
Or maybe that was last year.
20:33
Anyway, it starts here.
20:35
Then that's gonna build on from there what
20:36
you did in the Open.
20:37
If you made quarterfinals, cool.
20:39
Now you get to play a little bit
20:40
more for quarterfinals.
20:41
If you are good enough from quarterfinals
20:42
to make semifinals,
20:44
then you get to play at that next
20:45
stage.
20:46
And it's gonna look a little bit
20:47
different.
20:48
But he's going to have a theme throughout
20:50
the entire thing.
20:51
It might not always be evident,
20:52
but if you talk to him,
20:53
because he said it before, he's like,
20:55
yeah,
20:56
I'm going to have a theme for the
20:57
entire year,
20:57
whatever that ends up looking like.
21:00
From day one, which is February,
21:02
whatever the day the Open actually starts,
21:05
all the way through the games.
21:08
So like, yeah,
21:09
I don't like doing burpee and dumbbell the
21:12
last two years in a row for the
21:14
first workout of the games.
21:15
I do not.
21:16
I'm going to be completely honest with
21:17
you.
21:17
I thought it was lazy or it felt
21:19
lazy.
21:21
It's accessible.
21:22
Yeah.
21:22
Okay, cool.
21:23
Fantastic.
21:24
But I did it because I mean,
21:26
there's going to be some other stuff
21:28
coming behind it,
21:29
whatever that ends up looking like.
21:31
And then there's other stuff coming back.
21:32
That's basic CrossFit stuff.
21:34
Hey, you don't like the workout today?
21:35
Cool.
21:36
Come back tomorrow.
21:37
We got something different.
21:39
Oh, you don't like your workout tomorrow?
21:40
Cool.
21:41
Come back the day after that.
21:42
We're going to have something different.
21:44
Vicky says,
21:45
I feel like just because I may not
21:46
see the method in the madness doesn't mean
21:48
there is a lack of method to the
21:50
madness.
21:51
Correct.
21:53
Correct.
21:55
Correct.
21:58
So, and Tristan says,
22:00
if you carry over scores from the open,
22:01
then those quarters tests would need to be
22:03
skewed heavy and high skill since the open
22:05
is basically three endurance tests.
22:08
Right.
22:08
But a seven or eight test,
22:11
eight workout test is going to be much
22:13
better than a three and a five or
22:15
four, whatever they decide to do.
22:18
Right.
22:19
When they're separate like that.
22:20
Yeah.
22:21
Yeah.
22:25
I agree.
22:26
Like make it look for people like me
22:29
who is going to sound like bragging,
22:31
but like I don't have to try real
22:33
hard for the open to make quarterfinals.
22:36
I just don't like I can go do
22:39
my one and done.
22:41
Submit my scores and then be ready for
22:43
quarterfinals when it's going to matter
22:45
for me.
22:45
And that's the majority of any higher
22:47
level athletes.
22:48
If you want to try to get to
22:50
from quarterfinals to semifinals,
22:52
if you want to make the open matter,
22:54
then add those scores to quarterfinals
22:56
because now they matter.
22:59
They actually matter because right now
23:00
quarterfinals matter.
23:03
Tristan says,
23:04
I just don't think they'd program it
23:05
balanced.
23:06
Well, it's not fair to just think.
23:09
They haven't been given the opportunity in
23:11
a format like that.
23:13
And I think that given that opportunity,
23:20
they may put together a better test than
23:22
we think.
23:24
Yeah.
23:26
There's so much in here.
23:26
Hold on.
23:27
Okay.
23:30
Rx for Time, Scott,
23:31
have you reached out and had a discussion
23:33
with them?
23:33
And he's talking about WFP.
23:35
I reached out to have either Will or
23:37
Saxon on early on.
23:42
I got no response for a while.
23:44
And then I got a response that right
23:45
after tour stop one,
23:47
they would have one of those two available
23:49
for me to have on the show.
23:51
And then they pulled that back after.
23:56
I reached out a couple more times.
23:58
with no response.
24:00
And so, yes,
24:01
I have made efforts to them to have
24:03
those people on.
24:04
And at this point, I just,
24:06
there's no point in it.
24:08
I've,
24:08
I've seen the show and there's no point
24:11
in trying because they're never going to
24:12
answer the questions.
24:14
So.
24:14
Look, I can do it.
24:15
I just sit back like this.
24:22
I'll go get in my car and then
24:23
I'll just, I can be Will.
24:24
It's not that big a deal.
24:25
I just not answer any of your questions
24:27
and we just move on.
24:29
And then Lito is right.
24:31
Boz then after the games that he
24:34
programmed did the open the following
24:37
season and the quarterfinals and the
24:40
semifinals because CrossFit ran those.
24:43
But if you remember correctly,
24:46
those semifinals had a bit of a fiasco
24:48
to them.
24:49
It was the carpet drag sled.
24:53
There were a lot of no rep issues
24:56
where people got kind of screwed out of
24:58
games tickets and
25:00
And that's when Justin Berg got fired and
25:03
Dave was brought back immediately after
25:05
those semifinals and trying to get the
25:08
ship righted before they got to the games.
25:12
So you have to look.
25:15
Yes, maybe the program was better.
25:17
Programming might have been better in that
25:19
for you, Lito.
25:20
But the whole thing became a little bit
25:23
of a shit show during that time.
25:25
And it cost one guy his job and
25:28
Dave to get his job back.
25:33
So in full context,
25:35
it was a wild time.
25:41
I remember the carpet sled drag thing.
25:46
That was not good at all.
25:49
It was also the L-sit rope climb thing
25:52
where people were just sitting on the
25:53
floor and it looked terrible.
25:56
It was just a mess that year.
26:03
RX for Time,
26:04
Boz's programming can sometimes go off the
26:06
beaten path for better or worse at times.
26:07
I agree,
26:08
but I think Boz's programming is more
26:11
conducive to the games when you have the
26:14
elite of the elite.
26:16
When you had,
26:17
I think they had a lot of people
26:19
at semis that year,
26:20
and there were a lot of people just
26:21
sitting because they couldn't do the rope
26:24
climbs.
26:25
And you just had people like standing and
26:26
sitting around during a lot of the events.
26:29
It just had a bad look to it.
26:31
Then you had that sled drag that was
26:34
God awful.
26:35
You had the backpack bring muscle up
26:39
thing.
26:41
I know it was a ruck.
26:42
I call it.
26:42
It looked like a kid going to school
26:44
trying to do a muscle up.
26:45
Yeah.
26:47
There just was a lot of bad things
26:49
that year.
26:50
And again,
26:51
it costs someone his job and it costs
26:54
them going to grab Dave and bring him
26:56
back.
27:01
I will say Boz programmed the Capitol,
27:03
which is one of the best events to
27:04
watch in the game's history.
27:06
And Dave programmed Strongman's Fear,
27:08
which is one of my favorite events of
27:10
all time in the CrossFit Games.
27:12
Like, we can pick out things.
27:13
Boz is great.
27:14
I love Boz.
27:15
Boz is one of the coolest people ever,
27:18
and I love hanging out and talking with
27:20
him.
27:21
Boz also programmed the sandbag ladder
27:24
that everybody thought was going to suck,
27:25
and it was one of the most compelling
27:27
things I've ever seen at the games.
27:29
It was.
27:30
And the tiebreaker was great.
27:33
It all was really good.
27:35
But I do think that his stuff is
27:36
more conducive to the elite of the elite.
27:40
Yeah.
27:40
Like his stuff is wild.
27:43
And you can't have a fortieth place person
27:47
at semifinals who can't do a legless rope
27:49
climb, let alone an L-sit rope climb,
27:52
like just sitting on the floor for a
27:54
long stretch.
27:56
Just looking up at a rope,
27:58
like maybe I'll figure this out someday.
27:59
Yeah.
28:02
so it yeah it's it's all in it
28:07
but he had one year like who knows
28:10
what it would have been refined to over
28:12
time and and i do think that he
28:16
does work with dave on some stuff
28:19
They've been knowing each other and
28:20
working together forever.
28:22
It's not like he can't call him up
28:24
and be like, hey,
28:25
I'm trying to figure this piece of this
28:27
whatever on this workout out.
28:29
Do you have any ideas?
28:30
I'm sure that's happened or happens on a
28:33
regular basis.
28:34
Now,
28:34
we can't fool ourselves and sit here and
28:36
say that Dave doesn't have the upper hand
28:39
in the power dynamic.
28:41
Oh, sure.
28:42
Right.
28:42
Absolutely.
28:45
This is Dave's baby.
28:46
He invented it.
28:47
He created it.
28:48
At the end of the day,
28:49
he has the upper hand in the power
28:51
dynamic.
28:53
So.
28:57
Shana says the twenty twenty two games was
28:59
my favorite so far for Masters.
29:00
I think Bob's program that.
29:05
yeah um okay so that's all of that
29:15
um i don't know if you saw this
29:17
this is just me as a dad lindsey
29:20
vaughn's dad came out and made a statement
29:23
oh
29:24
about her wreck at the olympics and he
29:28
and they asked her him about lindsey's
29:30
future and he said her skiing career is
29:33
done as long as i have something to
29:35
do with it as long as i got
29:37
breath in my lungs and as a dad
29:42
as a dad i'm thinking oh hell yeah
29:44
like go she does not need to hurt
29:48
herself yeah
29:50
But as a competitor,
29:52
like I did some stupid shit to get
29:55
myself out on a field of play.
29:58
I remember just in my forties.
30:01
Going to a CrossFit competition,
30:02
I had to do a snatch complex and
30:05
my shoulder was like hanging off the side
30:07
of my body.
30:08
And I went to an acupuncturist who had
30:11
a booth at this competition,
30:12
didn't know her from Noah.
30:14
And I sat down and let her stick
30:16
needles all through me so that I could
30:18
go out there and do one snatch complex
30:21
because I needed to lift to even be
30:23
competitive in the competition.
30:25
Yeah, no, I need this one lift.
30:27
So what can you do?
30:31
If it's my daughter or my son out
30:32
there, hell no.
30:34
Get out of the competition and fight to
30:36
live another day.
30:38
Yeah, you'll be all right.
30:39
There'll be other ones.
30:40
It'll be the first thing I would tell
30:41
Brody.
30:41
You'll be all right, dude.
30:43
Like, it's not worth it.
30:46
But me?
30:46
Oh, yeah, no, I'm getting out there.
30:47
Yeah.
30:47
I'm getting out there.
30:50
I don't care if I rip my shoulder
30:51
off of my body.
30:52
It's fine.
30:53
I got one lift.
30:55
Yeah, I got another one.
30:58
I'll be all right.
30:58
So it made me think about like all
31:00
of the things that athletes do to get
31:03
like the sacrifices they make.
31:06
Like you think of Atalantia at the games
31:10
when Haley is bleeding from everywhere and
31:14
she just is fighting through to finish
31:16
that workout.
31:18
The mindset that these athletes have is
31:22
crazy.
31:24
Or the ruck run, the first ruck run,
31:26
whenever she had just that spot on her
31:30
back, dude.
31:31
She still has scars from that.
31:32
There's no doubt in my mind.
31:34
There's no doubt in my mind.
31:38
I would say, so Frida just said,
31:39
it's always harder to be on the sidelines.
31:41
It is the...
31:43
I would rather be on the floor myself
31:48
doing double Murph than watch,
31:51
because Brody does compete from time to
31:52
time whenever he's in the gym or from
31:56
watching him at the open a couple of
31:57
years ago.
31:59
I would much rather be on the floor
32:02
suffering about to die than anxiety of
32:05
trying to watch him do something.
32:08
And I need you to do what I
32:11
know you can do.
32:14
there's pictures of me watching him and
32:15
like,
32:15
you can just see the look on my
32:17
face.
32:17
And I'm like, there's no,
32:18
I'm gonna need you to,
32:18
I'm gonna need you to get it right.
32:20
There's no way.
32:22
Yeah.
32:24
And there's no exhilaration like your kid
32:26
doing well.
32:28
I got a picture on my phone of
32:30
Brody's first ever time.
32:32
He deadlifted like three,
32:34
fifteen at a powerlifting meet his
32:35
freshman year of high school.
32:37
And he's screaming, I'm screaming, like,
32:43
I was sixteen feet from him because we
32:45
get, you know,
32:46
it's in a gym or whatnot and losing
32:48
my absolute mind because I was so excited
32:51
for it.
32:54
Shanna says that Lindsay has a nasty
32:57
complex tib-fib fracture.
32:59
We'll take multiple surgeries.
33:00
Yeah, I saw that.
33:03
Which is why her dad said, no,
33:05
she ain't getting no more skis, bro.
33:06
You know what they need?
33:08
They need some third C.
33:10
The most is her dad.
33:14
And that's because right now,
33:15
Thirdsy is running a self-care thirty
33:17
special to make sure that you are able
33:21
to take care of others.
33:24

You want to be able to be the
33:30
best you can be.
33:30
And the best way to do that is
33:32
to make sure you sleep and recover.
33:34
And Thirdsy is the best product out there
33:36
to do that.
33:36

34:07
That covers you for a two month supply
34:10
and a two month supply of hot off
34:12

34:12
Eighty five.
34:13
Just say it's a pretty substantial amount.
34:16
I'm just saying get you some good sleep.
34:19
It's well worth it.
34:24
In the USHL, with Des Moines Bucks,
34:27
son took slap shot to the face in
34:28
the morning skate before leaving to North
34:31
Dakota, two teeth out and a broken nose.
34:33
Coach said, you're not making the trip.
34:35
He said to me, he said,
34:38
take me to Team Dentist.
34:40
Does that mean he went ahead and went?
34:45
Sounds like it.
34:46
He scored two goals and two assists that
34:48
night.
34:54
Man, I was calling Leto a hater.
34:56
I missed that.
35:00
I don't know what she's a hater for.
35:01
Yeah, I missed that.
35:05
I don't even see a Leto comment for
35:06
like ever.
35:09
Let me address this.
35:10
Doug, Mr. Doug Reed, no, he's not.
35:17
And so long as I got breath in
35:18
my lungs,
35:19
he's not going to be stronger than I
35:20
am.
35:21
Can't let that fly.
35:24
I keep getting all these videos in my
35:27
timeline about, you know,
35:29
one day your daughter is going to be
35:30
too big for you to pick up.
35:33
And it cuts to somebody's squad.
35:34
It's like, don't let that happen.
35:35
I'm like,
35:36
you ain't got to worry about that, bro.
35:38
At no point in my life is any
35:40
one of my children going to be too
35:41
big for me to carry.
35:44
Did you see Rogue up the prize purse?
35:48
I did.
35:48
At one point...
35:51
a one point four one point five literally
35:54
like minutes before we went on the air
35:56
yeah it bumped it up it's like one
35:58
point i think i want to say like
36:00
one point four or something like that
36:02
million dollars altogether which is a lot
36:05
Yeah.
36:06
I mean, that's a huge, huge payday.
36:08
You get your trip paid for by them.
36:10
Right.
36:11
Everybody gets paid when you go there.
36:14
You know,
36:14
we talked about a couple weeks ago,
36:16
all-star games.
36:17
That is like the all-star game of CrossFit
36:21
is Rogue.
36:21
And they only take in, what is it,
36:26
thirty and thirty?
36:27
No, twenty, twenty.
36:28
Twenty and twenty.
36:29
So, yeah,
36:30
go ahead and do the math on that.
36:31
Yeah.
36:33
Yeah.
36:34
Outstanding.
36:34
Good for him.
36:35
I'm glad.
36:36
You can't.
36:39
I guess you probably could.
36:41
People do have bad experiences with Rogue.
36:43
I mean,
36:43
they are a fairly large company at this
36:45
point,
36:45
but it's really hard to argue against them
36:47
whenever they keep doing stuff like that.
36:50
Yeah, they're awesome.
36:52
Kudos to them.
36:53
So you just finished up the Monster Game
36:55
qualifiers.
36:57
yes and no so i had one left
37:02
uh yes i am going to fit us
37:04
at the coast um that's i had missed
37:08
rx for time yes um right i do
37:12
know well i don't know if david and
37:13
i have actually met in person but i'm
37:15
fairly sure we probably have
37:18
I have one left to do,
37:20
which was the two-parter.
37:22
So my age group, it was two rounds,
37:25
.
37:26
And then .
37:32
Yesterday morning,
37:33
I got set up to go and knock
37:36
it out.
37:37
And then as I was finishing up my
37:39
first round,
37:39
the two newest girls in the gym walked
37:42
dead in between me and my camera.
37:46
Um, and I'm like into full panic,
37:50
freaking out mode, like get out of it.
37:53
Cause
37:54
The one girl, bless her heart,
37:55
she was talking to me the entire time,
37:57
trying to hold a conversation while I'm
37:59
wrapping up my first set of burpees.
38:01
So I had to say I had to.
38:03
I stopped because we had to submit a
38:05
video this year for Monster Games for
38:08
Masters.
38:09
We didn't have to last year.
38:10
And I didn't want my video to get
38:13
scrutinized or end up with a no rep,
38:16
even though I did the work,
38:17
because people walked in front of my
38:18
camera and I didn't see it.
38:20
You know what I'm saying?
38:21
Or they could block in front.
38:23
And they were fixing to walk right back
38:24
in front of it again.
38:26
So I redid it last night.
38:31
I got a decent score on the first
38:33
part,
38:34
but I'm not super happy about my snatches
38:37
on this second part.
38:39
So I may end up doing it again
38:41
tomorrow morning as my last piece before I
38:44
fly out Friday to go to Fedecito Coast.
38:47
Mark Phillips will try to limp my
38:48
qualifier finish so I can get to Monster
38:51
to meet Corey.
38:52
Get them done, Mark.
38:53
Get them done.
38:56
Lito, yes,
38:57
I am going to try to qualify too.
38:58
That is the major goal this year is
39:00
try to get to an in-person semifinal to
39:08
try to be able to compete against that
39:12
caliber of athlete to get some more
39:14
competition experience under my belt
39:15
before next year.
39:17
when we've made the full,
39:18
full push to make the games.
39:24
David, whichever one.
39:28
Whichever one I have me,
39:29
I would much rather go to Magic City
39:31
because it's six hours from my house,
39:33
a six hour drive from my house,
39:35
as opposed to, you know,
39:38
flying across the country to go to Del
39:39
Mar.
39:40
Although I'm way more familiar with the
39:42
Del Mar people at that point,
39:45
at this point with the Legends folks.
39:47
But honestly, anyone that invites me,
39:50
that's where I'm going.
39:54
Ed Cecil, Orange Cone's your gym for you.
39:57
um here's the thing dude they're brand
39:59
brand new like the one girl has been
40:00
here literally been here for three weeks
40:02
the other one has been here for two
40:03
months and they had no idea like they
40:05
were oblivious I can't get mad at them
40:07
they have no idea what was going on
40:10
right I'm still having to explain to them
40:12
what movements are when I coach them in
40:14
classes and like we had a uh a
40:17
one time through chipper this morning and
40:19
I was explaining to the one girl Leah
40:21
I was like okay look
40:24
you get down to the end you're done
40:25
we don't have to go back and do
40:26
it again she's like oh okay i got
40:28
it i got it ortega says brother i
40:31
hate people that don't understand gym
40:33
etiquette and shanna some people have no
40:36
awareness of the gym yeah so um it
40:40
happens it happens uh there we go i
40:45
was really more more upset about the
40:47
snatch last night than i was about them
40:49
walking in front of my camera that way
40:50
i ended up having to do it again
40:51
so
40:53
So I do,
40:53
before we get into Fittest on the Coast,
40:56
I do want to share something that Corey
40:57
shared with me.
40:58
He's been recovering from his
40:59
season-ending injury.
41:00
He's been asking the fundamental questions
41:02
about life that only guys like Socrates
41:03
and Plato have to answer.
41:06
So this is an important question.
41:09
An important question that I need to know
41:11
the answer to.
41:13
And only Cam Scadaboo...
41:15
New York Giants running back has dove into
41:18
this,
41:19
and we need to make sure that we
41:20
all understand what is the right way.
41:23
So here it is.
41:24
Do you, like,
41:26
turn your head to eat a taco,
41:28
or do you turn the taco for you?
41:31
Like, are you dominant for the taco,
41:33
or does the taco, like,
41:34
do you turn your head for the taco?
41:36
It's about the dominance of the taco,
41:37
though.
41:38
Like, if you're not,
41:39
if you're turning the taco,
41:42
you're dominating the taco.
41:44
I'm scabby.
41:45
So the question is,
41:49
do you turn the taco for your head
41:52
or do you turn your head for the
41:53
taco?
41:55
Camp Scataboo is a national treasure.
41:57
First of all,
41:59
let's go ahead and get that out right
42:01
now.
42:03
Secondly, I am fairly certain that, yeah,
42:06
like Wayne just said,
42:07
I turned my head like I am a
42:09
get my head to the taco.
42:13
Yeah.
42:14
So I've thought about this way too much
42:16
since you sent me this,
42:17
and that is that I definitely turn my
42:18
head for the taco because if you turn
42:21
the taco, the shit falls out.
42:25
Correct.
42:25
You don't want to lose your stuffings.
42:27
No.
42:28
Right?
42:29
So you got to turn your head for
42:30
the taco to keep all the stuffings inside
42:32
the taco.
42:33
Also, I'm a crunchy taco guy.
42:36
So if I am trying to turn the
42:37
taco,
42:38
I'm squeezing it a little harder to try
42:41
to stop the stuff from falling out of
42:42
it,
42:43
which is in turn going to make the
42:44
taco shell break.
42:47
And then you got an even worse situation
42:49
on your hands.
42:50
So like turn your head,
42:52
get you a good bite.
42:54
Enjoy it.
42:55
Move on, move on with your life.
42:58
Um, Jay Burch turns for the taco, uh,
43:01
Wayne turned the head.
43:04
Uh, what else we got here?
43:09
Joe Valens says,
43:10
I'm qualified to answer this as an expert.
43:12
Turn the taco.
43:15
Phil DePuper,
43:15
definitely dominate the taco.
43:17
Dude, man, that's a bold move.
43:19
That's a strong move there, Phil.
43:27
Unless it's a soft taco.
43:30
If it's a soft taco, boom.
43:32
You can make a little burrito.
43:35
All that kind of stuff, but yeah.
43:36
The
43:38
Yeah, you got to go pinky pinch.
43:40
A hundred percent.
43:43
All the way through.
43:45
Absolutely.
43:46
Everybody's mad at me because I like
43:47
crunchy tacos.
43:48
It's all right.
43:50
But isn't that what a real taco is?
43:53
I will go to a Mexican restaurant,
43:56
order the tacos al carbón,
43:59
the little steak tacos, the three, right?
44:02
And get those how they come and then
44:03
order myself one crunchy taco on the side
44:06
just because I like the crunch.
44:09
I just do.
44:10
So hate on me if you want.
44:12
It's perfectly fine.
44:13
I will take, I will accept it.
44:15
The haters are Amanda.
44:16
Yeah.
44:17
And Joe.
44:18
And Joe.
44:19
It's fine.
44:20
It's fine.
44:22
And yeah, they're Joe again.
44:23
Yeah.
44:24
Joe is not happy with your crunchy choice.
44:26
It's fine.
44:27
It's fine.
44:28
Yeah.
44:28
My, my taco is, I love fish tacos.
44:31
Big fan.
44:33
So there's a place just up the street
44:35
sells mahi-mahi fish tacos.
44:38
I get it grilled in a soft shell
44:42
street taco style.
44:43
And man, just love that stuff.
44:47
Love it.
44:48
Love it, love it, love it, love it.
44:55
Nice room on left.
44:59
It's Twitch people.
44:59
I have no idea what's going on.
45:04
Yeah, okay.
45:05
Taco in the bag trend was my favorite.
45:08
Oh, gosh.
45:09
Walking tacos?
45:11
Now that should be disqualified from...
45:15
It's when you take a bag of Fritos
45:16
and you put all the taco stuff in
45:18
the Frito bag.
45:19
Oh, no.
45:19
And you eat it right out of the
45:20
bag.
45:21
If you're going to do that,
45:24
just make yourself a Frito bag.
45:26
Yeah,
45:27
make yourself a Frito pie and call it
45:29
good.
45:29
Like that makes way more sense than
45:31
putting like, but no, no.
45:33
Come on, Ken.
45:35
I know you're from the Midwest, dude,
45:36
but be better.
45:38
Hannah loves crunchy too.
45:39
You got someone in your... Me and you,
45:44
Shannon.
45:45
And Data Wad said that's what she said.
45:48
I'm sure we said something that really
45:50
required that and I probably missed it.
45:52
More than likely.
45:53
Probably about eating the tacos,
45:54
if I had to guess.
45:58
And yeah, thank you.
46:00
I think your room is nice, Scott.
46:01
You're on the left.
46:02
Well, thank you.
46:02
You're on the left.
46:05
I've just joined.
46:06
I have no idea what I missed.
46:08
Oh, that's fat.
46:12
That's fantastic.
46:13
That's fantastic.
46:16
Scott, my wife turns her head.
46:17
I married a monster.
46:22
I turned my head.
46:24
Yeah.
46:28
I always look like a curious dog every
46:31
time I'm fixing to eat.
46:33
Head tilt to the side.
46:39
You try eating a taco not in a
46:41
bag in the stands at a hockey game?
46:44
No,
46:44
because I don't try to eat tacos at
46:46
a hockey game.
46:49
That is not on my menu for a
46:51
hockey game, Ken.
46:54
There are American concessions that have
46:57
been around forever, like the hot dog,
46:59
the hamburger, the nachos.
47:02
Literally anything else.
47:03
Nice way to get your Mexican flair without
47:07
having to eat a taco in a bag.
47:09
Literally anything else.
47:11
I cannot picture.
47:12
I have never been to a professional hockey
47:13
game,
47:13
but I cannot imagine myself going like,
47:16
I'm going to go to this Philadelphia
47:17
Flyers game and get me a taco while
47:20
I'm in the stands.
47:22
Yeah.
47:23
When I'm at a sporting event,
47:24
taco is not the first thing I'm thinking.
47:27
I can't tell you.
47:28
Look,
47:28
I've been to a million LSU football games
47:32
and not once have I ever been like,
47:34
oh,
47:34
I need to make sure I go by
47:35
that taco stand before I go back in
47:38
the stadium.
47:39
It's just never happened.
47:41
Just never happened.
47:45
Oh, you crack me up, Ken.
47:48
Crack me up.
47:51
Well, I know that right now
47:54
The sport of fitness podcast is going live
47:57
and announcing the athletes who will be
48:00
appearing at twenty six point two.
48:04
So I don't want to keep you all
48:05
from going and checking that out because
48:08
that's got to be Lucy.
48:11
I I would bet a substantial amount of
48:16
money that one will be named Lucy.
48:19
And there actually is a chance that two
48:22
could be named Lucy.
48:25
That's fair.
48:26
That's fair.
48:29
So we'll find out in a few minutes.
48:33
And then tomorrow we'll talk about it.
48:35
I'm here for it.
48:38
Thank you all for joining.
48:39
Go get yourself some tacos in a bag.
48:43
Crunchy, soft.
48:45
At your favorite hockey game.
48:47
Whatever.
48:48
Get your tacos.
48:50
Enjoy your day.
48:51
Have a nice lunch with the Clydesdale.
48:53
We'll see you tomorrow to talk about who
48:55
is appearing at twenty six point two.
48:57
Bye.
