1:20
Yeah.
1:21
So last night I appeared on the Glitten
1:23
Things podcast.
1:25
What a fun time.
1:27
Oh my gosh.
1:28
I usually get like super nervous about
1:31
going on different podcasts because I'm
1:34
not in control.
1:35
I don't know what the topics are going
1:36
to be.
1:37
And, uh,
1:41
they were just freaking awesome it was
1:43
like hanging out with people i knew for
1:46
years it was so easy and so laid
1:50
back and we talked about a lot of
1:52
stuff we talked about a lot of stuff
1:55
i got to figure out a way to
1:56
do like a crossover with them and have
1:58
them come over here for something uh
2:01
because it was just it was just freaking
2:03
awesome
2:04
So we've got train olive in the,
2:05
in the chat.
2:06
We've got John George.
2:09
We've got Helson.
2:10
We've got Meredith.
2:12
We've got Daniel.
2:14
We got Jeremy.
2:16
We've got cows and CrossFit.
2:20
So, yeah.
2:22
So I hope everybody's having a great
2:24
Friday as we go into this week.
2:28
Omar is having a jazzy day.
2:31
We love the jazzy.
2:32
So yeah.
2:36
So I see everybody talking about Corey.
2:38
Let's check in on that right now.
2:44
So here is the leaderboard at Magic City.
2:52
And here's Corey's...
2:58
Corey standings.
2:58
He's currently in third,
3:00
one place out of second place,
3:03
which the top two go to the CrossFit
3:05
games.
3:06
And, uh, so our boy is in really,
3:11
really good position.
3:13
And, uh,
3:15
he told me that Nate is his jam,
3:18
which is the next workout of today.
3:21
So it's going to be just fun to
3:24
see how our boy, the cowboy, uh,
3:28
does on semi Nate and, see how,
3:34
see how he's doing there.
3:36
So, yeah, I, uh,
3:39
I was trying to tune in to flow
3:41
lead this morning,
3:41
even though Corey's heat wasn't going to
3:43
be on, uh,
3:45
But every time I tuned in,
3:46
I was getting a black box with nothing
3:50
on the screen.
3:52
Just before the show,
3:53
I checked in on it.
3:55
It's up and running now.
3:57
And you can actually rewind all the way
4:00
back to the beginning of the broadcast
4:03
from today.
4:06
And it's Bella Martin in the booth with
4:10
a guy named Heath,
4:11
who is a part of the Magic City
4:13
crew.
4:16
And what I could hear so far was
4:18
pretty good broadcasting.
4:20
I didn't hear a lot,
4:21
so I don't want to get into too
4:23
much detail on my thoughts on that until
4:26
I watch a little bit more.
4:28
But I was able to look at,
4:29
I tuned in with Megan Apostolaris,
4:32
Kat LeClaire, some friends of the show.
4:36
They were doing well in their event.
4:39
So, yeah, good stuff there.
4:44
The crowds do not seem to be flocking
4:47
into Magic City.
4:49
The stands behind the rig and around the
4:54
floor that was being broadcast were pretty
4:58
empty,
4:59
but it looks like it's open to spectators
5:02
on the floor.
5:04
So it's going to be a hard time
5:05
kind of judging what the crowds are like
5:08
at Magic City.
5:11
So we'll have to see how that goes.
5:14
But one thing I did hear today from
5:18
CJ DePalma on the WOD Prep podcast is
5:23
they are testing all the Masters athlete
5:27
winners, those who are going to the games.
5:30
They are testing them all at this weekend.
5:35
So if you're one of those people that
5:37
thought you could go to the semifinal,
5:40
get away with your stuff,
5:47
it's going to be interesting to see
5:53
whether or not people pop or not this
6:01
weekend.
6:02
Sorry, this comment from John George.
6:05
Does anyone have eyes on Scott?
6:07
Is he okay?
6:08
I think I'm right here.
6:12
Can everybody see me out in YouTube world?
6:18
I hope so.
6:25
Every indicator I have says I am live
6:28
on YouTube.
6:28
Okay.
6:36
Okay, good.
6:36
Everybody can see me but John George.
6:39
Okay, cool.
6:43
So, yeah, fun times.
6:46
Anybody in the chat down in Birmingham
6:48
checking it out today?
6:50
I would love to hear what you have
6:52
to say.
6:52
Are there crowds around the floor that we
6:54
can't see on the stream?
7:00
It would be good to know.
7:02
But, yeah,
7:02
the testing is going to be interesting.
7:04
It's going to be really interesting if
7:05
people thought they could get away with
7:07
something and they popped this weekend.
7:12
So, yeah.
7:15
CJ seems to think that Magic City is
7:18
actually footing the bill for those tests.
7:22
Um, because it was not done at legends.
7:25
It does not seem to be a CrossFit
7:27
thing.
7:28
It seems to be a magic city thing,
7:30
but that was speculation on his part.
7:33
And I would tend to agree.
7:35
I would tend to agree with that
7:36
speculation.
7:39
Um, uh,
7:43
causing CrossFit says migrating crowd.
7:46
Okay.
7:48
Okay.
7:51
So we have that going on.
7:53
We also have the WFP,
7:55
which kicked off at like five this
7:57
morning.
7:59
I tuned in a little bit this morning
8:01
watched Carolyn go.
8:04
She took fourth in her heat.
8:06
Overall, I have that as well.
8:10
The leaderboards on that.
8:17
So here is the men's leaderboard at World
8:20
Fitness Project.
8:22
Enola Kai took the win on event one.
8:25
Roman Krennikoff is in second.
8:27
Blow this up so you can see it.
8:29
Yellow Hosta in third.
8:31
Ty Jenkins in fourth.
8:33
There you see the names.
8:34
I think the biggest shock was James
8:40
Sprague in ninth.
8:42
For a running toes-to-bar workout,
8:44
I would not have expected James to be
8:47
in ninth place.
8:50
And so it actually made me question.
8:55
He's got his ticket to the games.
8:57
He's probably just here to earn some
8:59
points so he can compete in the next
9:01
two.
9:03
Did he gear down for this event just
9:05
to kind of show up and get points?
9:08
Or is he not able to put forth
9:10
a full effort after competing last week?
9:15
It just adds to a lot of speculation
9:17
because I would never expect...
9:22
I would never expect James to finish ninth
9:26
in a running event.
9:34
Seema Boobs version two point oh jetlag.
9:39
Maybe.
9:40
Maybe.
9:44
I've talked to Emily Rolfe.
9:45
I've talked to Carolyn.
9:47
Carolyn seems to be unaffected by last
9:49
weekend.
9:50
She was tired with the time change.
9:59
I don't know, Scotty.
10:00
James ain't that guy.
10:01
If he's going to do it,
10:02
he's going to do it.
10:03
Do it.
10:04
Maybe.
10:05
Maybe.
10:06
Maybe,
10:07
but if his body's breaking down and you've
10:10
got your games ticket,
10:11
you don't want to cost yourself the
10:13
season.
10:14
And there's only this one WFP event until
10:19
after the games.
10:24
So maybe.
10:26
And then I think the big, I've heard,
10:28
I think Jeremy already made mention of
10:31
this,
10:32
but all the way down in thirty ninth
10:35
place.
10:36
is patrick velner now pat is traditionally
10:44
slow out of the gate but damn he
10:48
didn't just get capped he got capped plus
10:51
a hundred and seventy eight reps that's
10:56
that's pretty brutal and you have what how
11:01
many people finished
11:06
Thirty five people finished the workout.
11:13
Oh,
11:13
I guess they're adding the reps they
11:15
completed instead of the reps they had yet
11:18
to complete.
11:19
So that's a different way of scoring it.
11:21
OK, there we go.
11:24
But thirty five people finished the
11:25
workout.
11:26
Pat Vellner didn't even get to the end.
11:31
Yeah, I got it, Helston.
11:32
It just took me a minute.
11:34
Slow on a Friday morning where I had
11:36
lots of meetings.
11:37
So let's look at the pro women.
11:39
The pro women, Amy Kringle won event one.
11:42
Andrea Solberg took second.
11:45
Laura Horvat in third.
11:47
What I want to share here is my
11:51
biggest pet peeve.
11:54
My biggest pet peeve in the entire
11:56
CrossFit world.
11:58
And if you've been a fan of this
11:59
show, you know what it is.
12:06
And so what I'm going to do is
12:08
I got a screenshot of it.
12:10
Here we go.
12:17
Screenshots of this.
12:23
So here we go.
12:25
So I don't know if you can see
12:26
this.
12:27
Probably not.
12:29
So right here in the foreground is Mr.
12:31
Media Guy who is walking around the floor
12:35
with a camera.
12:38
This red line here is the finish line.
12:44
So right here behind him on the floor
12:47
just a little bit is Andreas Olberg.
12:52
Hidden by the cameraman is Amy Kringle.
12:57
This was the sprint to the finish line.
13:02
And the cameraman, in his infinite wisdom,
13:06
decides to run alongside and stop on the
13:11
finish line so we can't see the people
13:14
cross.
13:19
Why in the world is this needed?
13:24
Why isn't there a steady camera on the
13:27
finish line there to capture the people
13:31
finishing with clear view of the action?
13:44
The reason we watch sport is to see
13:48
who wins.
13:51
When the camera people block the view,
13:56
we got a problem.
14:00
We got a problem.
14:01
You can't see who won.
14:07
Now, because this is freeze-framed,
14:10
I can clearly see that Amy is a
14:13
bit ahead of Andrea.
14:15
But if you watch this in full speed,
14:18
it is so damn close.
14:29
um helson says if hey if it gets
14:31
us one of those marston footage running
14:33
with the fraser at the games i'm cool
14:35
with it helson do you truly watch the
14:39
crossfit games to see if the cameraman is
14:42
faster than fraser that's a real that's
14:47
not watching the sport
14:53
And the CrossFit Games had an elevated
14:55
camera and where Marston was allowed to be
14:59
did not interfere with the view of who
15:02
won the freaking race.
15:10
I showed when WFP finals that we're
15:14
getting crotch shots from a guy two feet
15:17
from a GHD and
15:19
At the open announcement,
15:20
Lucy Campbell almost had to run over a
15:23
photographer.
15:27
This has to stop.
15:29
There is no need for cameramen being out
15:33
on the floor blocking the views of those
15:37
of us at home watching the stream or
15:40
those in the arena trying to watch the
15:43
action.
15:48
My camera has a zoom lens.
15:51
I can get people's facial expressions from
15:54
across the floor with my camera.
15:59
Why do we need to have cameramen this
16:01
close?
16:03
You don't see anybody in the NFL standing
16:06
on the goal line and putting in doubt
16:10
whether Caleb Williams scored or not.
16:15
They have found ways to put a camera
16:18
on the goal line so that you get
16:20
a clear view of what's happening.
16:28
You don't see cameramen at Wimbledon
16:32
running out to see if the ball hit
16:34
the line or not and blocking the view.
16:42
Why CrossFit thinks it needs to have
16:45
cameramen on the floor is ridiculous.
16:51
If you're on the floor,
16:53
so WFP in their floor design has five
16:57
lanes, a small little lane,
17:00
and five more lanes.
17:02
If you need to be on the floor,
17:04
go up and down that small lane where
17:06
you're not blocking anything.
17:13
John George, by the way,
17:14
close-up shots on one person sucks.
17:17
It really, really does.
17:22
Happened last weekend.
17:23
Couldn't even see the athlete.
17:24
Just keep them off the floor.
17:27
No cameraman on the field or in the
17:29
lanes.
17:37
It's my biggest pet peeve.
17:38
There's just no need for it.
17:41
And when I'm at events,
17:43
it is even worse.
17:45
When you're in the media pit,
17:48
you can't get a picture of anything or
17:50
a video of anything or see what's going
17:53
on because there's eight cameramen walking
17:56
around the floor.
18:01
It's utterly ridiculous.
18:08
So anyway, WFP is going on.
18:11
The second men's event has already
18:13
started.
18:15
It should be done in a few hours
18:17
because they are five hours ahead of me.
18:20
And if you're west of the eastern time
18:22
zone, they're even further ahead for you.
18:26
We've got Magic City going on all day.
18:30
The Flow broadcast is up and running now,
18:34
so you can check that out there.
18:40
So let's take a look at a couple
18:42
other leaderboards for today.
18:48
Here's Copasor.
18:52
Here are the men.
18:54
They have not even started yet on the
18:56
men's side at Copasor.
19:02
We have no points.
19:04
On the women's side,
19:05
Miley Wade is in the lead.
19:10
Caroline Ferreira in second,
19:13
no Mary Joseph FEMA in third Anika Greer
19:17
in fourth, uh, other names of note,
19:23
Andrea Pinheiro in eighth.
19:27
I thought Trista was here.
19:33
I could be wrong.
19:41
So that's what we have.
19:42
Miley Wade off to a big start.
19:46
And then we have Far East Throwdown going
19:50
on.
19:52
That is here.
20:00
And they're done for the day already.
20:03
So here's the men.
20:05
Sven Jeans is in first.
20:08
Hiko Odeterangi Curtis is in second.
20:14
Heinrich Heipleinen is in third.
20:17
Matt Brady in fourth.
20:19
Riley Martin in fifth.
20:24
On the women's side...
20:27
We have Sierra Mayha in first,
20:30
Ana Ivanova in second,
20:33
Duan Young in third,
20:34
Samantha Pugh in fourth,
20:37
Ariel Sanders in fifth.
20:46
Jeremy says, is WFP on YouTube?
20:47
They are.
20:49
They have made the decision to move over
20:51
to YouTube.
20:56
And they have split the broadcast into
20:58
morning and evening.
21:01
So if you want to go back and
21:02
watch the morning,
21:03
you have to go to the morning view.
21:07
Right now, the evening is on,
21:10
and you just go to that broadcast.
21:16
Andrew Sten, I'm behind.
21:18
Did you say there's no drug testing at
21:20
Legends?
21:21
If so, that isn't true.
21:23
I said for the Masters, Andrew.
21:26
yes they tested elites but none of the
21:29
masters who qualified were tested and the
21:32
the reason i clarified that with masters
21:34
is magic city is testing the qualifiers uh
21:44
shanna says some athlete dislocated his
21:47
elbow at far east throwdown oh that's
21:50
awful
21:56
I don't need to see any more dislocated
21:57
elbows.
22:01
Kopiser is on the game's YouTube channel
22:04
in three different languages.
22:09
It is.
22:10
I wish more of this content made it
22:13
over to the game's channel,
22:15
whether it be the YouTube link or whether
22:18
it be on the leaderboards.
22:22
Trying to go out to Competition Corner and
22:24
finding stuff for all these events,
22:27
it's very cumbersome and not easy to
22:30
navigate.
22:31
It'd be really cool if,
22:33
like back in the sanctional days,
22:36
you could pull up all of the sanctionals
22:38
on the CrossFit Games website.
22:46
But yeah,
22:46
the competition corner is not searchable.
22:48
It's not easy.
22:50
But you know what is easy?
22:52
Getting a good night's sleep when you use
22:53
Thirdsy.
22:55
You can go to thirdsy.com backslash Jazzy
22:58
and get fifteen percent off your order.
23:02
Or you can just use Jazzy as a
23:04
promo code in the checkout that gets you
23:07
fifteen percent off your order.
23:11
If you're like Olivia Kerstetter or Emily
23:13
Rolfe doing three weeks in a row of
23:15
these events,
23:16
you need all the collagen protein you can
23:18
get.
23:19
You need that restful night's sleep so
23:21
that you can get after it the next
23:24
day.
23:25
Still blows me away that those two are
23:28
competing for the third week in a row.
23:33
That is mind-boggling.
23:35
Mind-boggling.
23:43
Starting to think Scott should have gone
23:44
into marketing.
23:46
The transitions are so smooth.
23:48
I work at it.
23:49
I work at it.
23:51
There's nothing I hate more than the
23:53
advertisement read to you off the top.
23:58
I try to find a nice way to
24:00
weave it in with a nice segue and
24:03
a quick informational piece about the
24:06
product so you don't have to fast forward.
24:09
You know we're going to get back to
24:10
the action as quickly as possible.
24:14
So the one thing I did want to
24:21
talk about briefly,
24:22
and I truly do not want to get
24:24
back into this topic again today,
24:29
is last night on the Glenton Things
24:32
podcast,
24:32
I was asked about the Corinne Pepper issue
24:36
of streaming when there's a paywall
24:38
streaming the broadcast.
24:42
And then this morning,
24:43
Dents put that clip from yesterday's show
24:47
into Dents Updates.
24:50
And I said,
24:51
I'm leaning to being on the side of
24:54
the streaming service and it not being
24:57
allowed to live stream from your phone.
25:01
I'm really not leaning.
25:03
I truly believe that it's wrong.
25:06
However,
25:07
I do understand that because of the
25:10
environment that we have been in in
25:12
CrossFit for years,
25:14
that it's an honest mistake that it
25:16
happens.
25:19
But I do believe,
25:21
I do believe that it is wrong to
25:26
stream while there's a streaming service
25:30
providing that for you.
25:36
And so I'm not leaning towards that
25:41
direction.
25:42
I truly believe it is wrong to live
25:44
stream while there is a pay service doing
25:48
that.
25:51
And I truly believe that without these pay
25:53
services,
25:54
we will not have CrossFit in a few
25:57
years.
25:59
We have to find other revenue services.
26:03
Going out and doing all of that work
26:05
for free is...
26:07
We were spoiled by that for years and
26:10
it's ridiculous.
26:13
It's ridiculous to not do that.
26:18
It's just ridiculous.
26:22
So there's that.
26:25
I don't have a lot today because there's
26:26
just a lot of action going on.
26:29
We're rooting for Corey.
26:31
We're rooting for Carolyn.
26:32
Carolyn started in, I think,
26:34
twenty fourth today at WFP.
26:36
Running is not running is not her forte,
26:41
but she hung in there.
26:42
And so.
26:45
I think her better events are coming.
26:48
I would love to see her get a
26:49
pro card.
26:53
So there it is.
26:56
I get it,
26:57
but the streams don't always show what a
26:58
wife-husband is seeing.
27:01
But that's being selfish in an ecosystem
27:05
that needs the money, Vicky.
27:10
And Corinne was there.
27:14
She was seeing it firsthand.
27:16
She didn't need to record it.
27:19
And again, I don't want to...
27:23
I'm not trying to rake Corinne over the
27:25
coals.
27:26
I think it has been an acceptable practice
27:29
in the space for a long time.
27:31
And it's going to take a while to
27:33
get that change to happen.
27:36
And the streams have to get better.
27:37
We've got to get the kinks out of
27:39
it.
27:40
But I truly believe for us to survive,
27:43
we need alternative revenue streams.
27:51
Um,
27:54
Yeah, Jeremy's right.
27:55
Record the workout.
27:56
If you want, just don't live stream it.
27:59
I go to concerts and I'll record a
28:02
song that I love,
28:03
but it's for me on my phone.
28:05
I'm not putting it out for the world
28:08
to see what it was like to be
28:09
at a concert.
28:18
Right.
28:24
If I put up a concert footage of
28:27
you two playing my favorite song,
28:30
it's probably going to get pulled down
28:31
from YouTube.
28:41
So...
28:47
On another note,
28:48
I have now unfollowed all the others as
28:51
I'm just tired of all the bullshit.
28:53
So Scott, please do not miss any days.
28:56
This is it.
28:56
Sorry for the pressure.
28:59
I try not to miss days, John.
29:01
But there's a lot of great people in
29:02
this space.
29:04
And I'd like all the different
29:05
perspectives.
29:07
I think hanging on to one perspective can
29:11
get dangerous, even if it's mine.
29:22
Vicky says,
29:23
I agree if she was streaming the entire
29:25
thing.
29:28
Vicky,
29:28
I think you're trying to make an excuse.
29:31
That was the main heat of the men's
29:34
division.
29:36
It was Dallin Pepper.
29:39
He is the star of the show.
29:42
By taking that away from the stream and
29:46
not,
29:47
you probably cost Flow Elite subscribers
29:51
because you could get it for free.
29:53
And in fact,
29:53
there were tons of comments saying just
29:56
that.
30:07
Daniel says,
30:07
when the stream was free and the feed
30:10
gave out, it was fine because guess what?
30:13
It's free.
30:14
But the second you ask me to pay
30:15
for it,
30:15
I expect to work like my cable
30:17
uninterrupted.
30:19
I don't know what cable company you're
30:20
with, but when I had cable,
30:22
it was always interrupted.
30:29
I think sometimes we put unreasonable
30:31
expectations on trying to modify into this
30:36
new way of doing things.
30:40
Exactly, Jeremy.
30:42
I don't know.
30:42
I've never had a cable company that didn't
30:45
have interruptions.
30:51
And yes, Alison, it was an honest mistake.
30:53
And I don't think Corinne should be
30:54
peppered because of it.
30:56
But I also think we have to consider
30:59
how to change this moving forward.
31:03
so with that i'm gonna let you guys
31:05
all go there's tons of crossfit to watch
31:07
today go check it out we'll be back
31:10
