If you thought the WFP was bad,
0:05
the IF-III said, hold my beer.
0:19
I love the chase and the hunt and
0:21
I set the pace when I'm running.
0:22
I always take what I want and I
0:24
always give it one hundred.
0:25
Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.
0:27
Play the game like it's nothing.
0:28
I'm always thankful for something.
0:30
Don't take for granted, stay humble.
0:31
Now wake up!
0:33
It's time to look at the enemy.
0:35
Look in the mirror if he is no
0:37
friend to me.
0:38
It's not working out,
0:39
maybe it's the chemistry.
0:40
It's time to break up so I can
0:43
make a better me.
0:45
And the music is kickin'.
0:47
What's going on, everybody?
0:48
It is lunchtime.
0:51
We've got Vicki and Sten and Shay and
0:55
Jody and Meredith already in the house.
0:58
What's going on, everybody?
1:02
It's a day before Thanksgiving,
1:04
and I am thankful for our sponsor,
1:05
Thirdsy.
1:07
This Friday,
1:09
they are launching their Black Friday
1:10
sale.
1:12
What's crazy about this Black Friday sale
1:14
is the percentage off that you're going to
1:16
get on Friday through – they're saying my
1:21
mic is not on?
1:22
It doesn't sound like it.
1:23
It sounds hollow.
1:25
I checked it right before I came on.
1:33
It definitely sounds like you're coming
1:34
through the computer.
1:36
Check now?
1:37
How are we doing now?
1:37
Same.
1:46
How about this?
1:49
Anything?
1:52
Nope.
1:59
How about this?
2:01
Check, check.
2:03
We can hear you.
2:04
It just doesn't,
2:05
your mic's definitely not on.
2:08
I'm trying everything on the RODECaster.
2:16
Check now.
2:17
Check now.
2:22
It's not even the Rodecaster.
2:23
I don't know.
2:30
I can hear you for sure.
2:31
I just.
2:36
Check now.
2:37
Hey, there it is.
2:38
Okay.
2:41
I kept changing the speakers instead of
2:42
the mic.
2:43
That's probably why the problem was.
2:47
I've only been doing this for six years.
2:49
No big deal.
2:50
No big deal.
2:52
I'm a professional.
2:53
It's okay.
2:53
Absolutely, yeah.
2:54
Professional is in the title.
2:57
All right.
2:58
So anyway, Thirdsy,
3:01
big Black Friday sale launching this
3:04
Friday.
3:05
The percents are so big that my fifteen
3:09
percent ain't even going to come close.
3:12
Oh, shit.
3:13
With Jazzy.
3:14
But here's what they're going to do.
3:16

3:27

And I'm hearing the percentages are out of
3:36
this world high that you can get off

3:42

3:49

3:52
absurd percentage off that you're going to

3:57
I like how we use absurd as a
3:59
percentage.
4:00
How much absurd did you get off?
4:02
Absurd.
4:03
Oh, shit.
4:03
All right.
4:06
I'm in.
4:06
That's why I asked you earlier.
4:08
I'm hearing rumors like up to fifty
4:09
percent.
4:14
But if I'm you,
4:17
it's only good while supplies last.
4:20
Yeah.
4:21
So it's Friday through Monday.
4:24
But if you want to take advantage of
4:26
this.
4:26
When I get up Friday morning,
4:29
I want to try it, dude.
4:30
My sleep has not been fantastic the past
4:33
two weeks or so.
4:35
And I've never heard anything bad about
4:39
it.
4:39
So I'm in.
4:40
Well,
4:40
you saw Jamie's readouts on her stuff like
4:43
resting heart rate lower,
4:45
sleep more soundly, much longer.
4:49
Dude,
4:50
and I went from like two hours at
4:51
a time to six hours at a time.
4:54
It is phenomenal.
4:56
I can't say enough good things about it.
4:59
And it's melatonin free.
5:02
It has collagen in it to help you
5:03
with your recovery.
5:05
So when you're working out,
5:06
it helps with that.
5:08
It's got it all.
5:09
not fish collagen not not fish collagen
5:13
like good grass-fed beef collagen good
5:15
yeah made from american cows that have the
5:20
flag print printed on them all right so
5:25
now i gotta update everybody on my
5:27
diagnosis i'd let you know yesterday on
5:30
monday i had ear nose and throat found
5:32
out i have a big sinus infection i
5:34
have to have surgery to remove that plus
5:36
a spur on my on my septum
5:40
Then yesterday I went to the pulmonologist
5:43
thinking that I almost canceled the
5:45
appointment because I was like,
5:47
it's got to be all this infection.
5:48
Like that's got to be everything.
5:51
All contraire, mon frere.
5:56
I go to the pulmonologist.
5:57
They look at my CAT scan or CT
6:00
scan of my chest,
6:02
and they compare it to two years ago.
6:04
And there's some abnormalities in my lungs
6:09
that have grown in the last two years.
6:15
They believe it is sarcoidosis.
6:18
And when he said that, I was like,
6:19
what is that?
6:20
Am I dying tomorrow?
6:22
Yeah.
6:23
And he said, what it is,
6:25
is when your immunity system immune
6:28
system, um,
6:30
overworks and produces too many cells,
6:33
they form as a cluster called a I'm
6:38
going to granule granule or granule Noma.
6:45
And I keep producing those and they're
6:47
like little masses in my lungs.
6:52
So
6:55
It's the reason I'm coughing a lot.
6:57
It's the reason that I'm out of breath
6:59
when I'm working out.
7:00
And they need to do a biopsy to
7:03
confirm before they can start treatment.
7:06
It is treatable.
7:09
It is curable.
7:11
They just have to verify that it is
7:13
what they think it is.
7:15
And so I'm waiting for the surgeons to
7:17
set up an appointment to talk with them
7:20
and then schedule an appointment for the
7:21
biopsy.
7:23
And then I will meet back with the
7:24
pulmonologist three days after we get the
7:26
results.
7:27
And then we go from there.
7:33
All right.
7:34
So I have the...
7:38
infection that is horrid and really
7:42
affecting my life right now and i have
7:44
this um sarcoidosis supposedly allegedly
7:49
needs to be verified and then there seems
7:52
to be a thing yeah our resident md
7:59
says definitely needs to be verified and
8:03
shea glad you didn't cancel yeah
8:06
When I told my wife I almost canceled,
8:09
she about lost.
8:11
Well, not about.
8:12
She lost her shit on me.
8:16
She was not pleased.
8:20
Yeah, she laid the smack down on.
8:24
Well, I mean, look, to be fair,
8:27
I would have done the same thing.
8:28
I would have been thinking, well, I mean,
8:30
this is clearly what it is.
8:32
Why do I need to go in here?
8:33
I'm tired of seeing doctors.
8:36
right over and over and over again so
8:38
yeah why why wouldn't i at this point
8:41
like to hell with this so thankfully you
8:45
were like all right whatever i'm just
8:47
gonna go see at least then you'll have
8:50
something right one way or the other so
8:54
i like i live on the north part
8:57
of columbus so here's columbus and i live
8:59
like up here yeah right the best doctors
9:03
are actually like up here
9:07
So it's a drive every time I go
9:09
see the doctor.
9:11
And that's why I almost canceled.
9:12
Like,
9:13
is it worth getting into traffic and going
9:15
all the way up north and doing all
9:17
this stuff?
9:20
but I'm glad I did.
9:21
I'm glad I did.
9:22
I'm glad I got answers.
9:23
It explains how I've been feeling to a
9:26
T and if we can correct it and
9:28
then move forward.
9:29
Like finally,
9:31
I feel like after four years of going
9:33
through bad doctors and all the bad
9:36
diagnosis and all the steroids and all the
9:40
antibiotics and all that stuff,
9:42
finally we're heading in the right
9:44
direction with,
9:45
with doctors who seem to give a shit.
9:48
That's a big plus.
9:50
Yeah.
9:56
Larry Young, the harder I work,
9:58
the more seems to get in the way.
10:00
But damn, you have a lot going on.
10:02
Hopefully this all leads to better times.
10:04
Amen, Larry.
10:07
My wife was getting pretty negative last
10:09
night.
10:09
I'm like, listen, this is a positive.
10:12
I finally have answers.
10:15
I finally have answers.
10:17
And I...
10:20
I feel like a sentence has been lifted
10:24
off of me.
10:27
No one would kill me, dude.
10:28
Well, it's not this.
10:32
Well, we think it's this.
10:33
Oh, no, it's not this.
10:34
Well,
10:34
that would absolutely drive me bananas.
10:37
That's why I don't like doctors to begin
10:38
with.
10:40
Yeah.
10:41
Well, I don't like bad doctors.
10:45
These doctors I've seen have been...
10:48
dude, like they sat down, like my ear,
10:50
nose and throat sat down and explained
10:52
everything to me, hand wrote notes for me,
10:54
why we were sitting there,
10:56
answered all my questions,
10:58
the pulmonologist, the same thing.
11:00
Like finally, when I,
11:02
and I changed primary care physicians and
11:06
like, it's just been night and day.
11:07
Like, she's like, let's find answers.
11:10
Let's find the best at everything that you
11:12
that's affecting you.
11:13
And I will refer you to all of
11:15
them.
11:16
And makes all the difference in the world.
11:20
Makes all the difference in the world.
11:21
I guess that's why I don't.
11:25
I would say the same thing.
11:26
I qualify that what I actually said was
11:29
I don't like bad doctors who just want
11:31
to put a bandaid on it.
11:33
prescribe you some medicine,
11:34
treat the symptom and then call it good
11:36
and send you on your way that that's
11:38
useless.
11:38
Like that's just throwing money away at
11:40
that point.
11:41
And it doesn't actually fix anything.
11:43
I'm, I don't like, like, let's,
11:46
whatever this is,
11:47
tell me what we need you to actually
11:48
fix it.
11:49
And then we can move on.
11:52
Anyway, I'm glad I do.
11:53
I'm so happy for you.
11:54
Like answers.
11:56
That's, that's a godsend right there.
11:58
Our good doctor says she doesn't like bad
12:00
doctors either.
12:02
Well, I mean,
12:06
one makes the other one look bad.
12:08
Right.
12:09
All the good doctors get a bad,
12:11
bad name.
12:13
People who actually care and people who
12:15
actually want to fix things and make them
12:16
better look bad for the,
12:19
for the one or the other people just,
12:22
or just phoning it in and just collecting
12:24
a paycheck for all intents and purposes.
12:27
Yeah.
12:28
So now the big thing,
12:28
I'm just waiting for the antibiotic nasal
12:31
wash to come to help like alleviate this
12:34
up here until I get the surgery.
12:37
But it had to be compounded.
12:39
So it had to be made in Tennessee
12:41
and it's being shipped to me.
12:43
So I just have to wait for that.
12:44
All right.
12:46
But there we are with that.
12:47
And then waiting on everything else.
12:51
There's a lot going on in medicine that
12:52
makes some doctors look bad,
12:53
even though they may not be,
12:55
unfortunately.
12:56
is also fair yeah well speaking of bad
13:02
if you if you didn't see what happened
13:06
at the if-three and for people who don't
13:09
know the if-three is the international
13:12
fitness federation yeah there's another f
13:15
in there that i'm not because it's f-three
13:17
but functional fitness federation there
13:20
you go yeah
13:21
They have been around since twenty
13:23
sixteen.
13:24
Their whole purpose was to standardize the
13:28
sport of fitness to make it an Olympic
13:31
sport.
13:32
Correct.
13:33
Noble cause.
13:35
Yeah.
13:36
Thought process is good.
13:38
Has actually kind of taken off in Europe,
13:41
in some countries like Norway actually
13:44
subsidizes their athletes to participate
13:46
in this.
13:48
Like, good thing, right?
13:50
Yeah, I understand.
13:52
So apparently their processes every year
13:54
during the championships,
13:56
they put out for bid who's going to
13:58
host it just like the Olympics.
14:02
Yep.
14:03
I'm okay with all of that,
14:06
but there still should be some oversight
14:09
to make sure whoever bids on it actually
14:12
comes through with a good product because
14:16
your name is stamped on it.
14:21
And that piece, I think,
14:22
was missed at this year's IF-III.
14:25
And I believe this IF-III in Australia was
14:28
just Masters.
14:30
It was.
14:32
So now it's a subset of your big
14:34
competition,
14:35
and you let all of this just taint
14:38
your name in such a bad way.
14:44
You say missed the target.
14:46
Every time somebody says that,
14:47
it reminds me of Bob Euchre in...
14:52
Major League.
14:53
Just a bit outside.
14:56
And it's five feet off, you know,
14:57
ten feet off the plate because that's what
15:00
happened.
15:00
I watched Taylor's video no less than five
15:04
times because I had to because I kept
15:08
every time I watched it again,
15:09
I'd catch something else that happened
15:11
that he said because he was going so
15:12
fast through everything.
15:13
I know he did it on purpose.
15:15
It worked.
15:17
But holy like
15:26
I have three.
15:26
Oh, my goodness.
15:27
What a shit show.
15:27
I competed in Aruba in twenty twenty two
15:30
and it wasn't this bad.
15:32
I've actually heard good reports about the
15:34
way that it's been run in the past.
15:37
But it only takes one bad event to
15:41
to put to damage your name.
15:44
To be fair, this isn't just bad.
15:47
This is colossally bad.
15:51
This is unimaginably bad.
15:55
No medical?
15:56
No medical?
15:58
None.
16:00
Zero.
16:02
And you have Masters athletes.
16:05
Masters athletes.
16:07
I've been at Masters events where there
16:09
was a cardiac event on the floor.
16:11
I believe I was at the same one.
16:14
Yeah.
16:16
And you don't have medical there?
16:17
No.
16:18
Now, all they had,
16:19
I say all they had, ruptured Achilles,
16:22
still a pretty severe injury.
16:24
Still pretty severe.
16:24
But not like life-threatening.
16:27
They got so lucky.
16:32
That's an incredible thing to roll the
16:33
dice on.
16:36
That's a wild thing to roll the dice
16:40
on.
16:41
Well,
16:44
what can we not have and still run
16:46
this okay?
16:49
How about a medical team?
16:50
Yeah, sure.
16:50
Who needs that?
16:51
These guys will be fine.
16:54
One of our athletes ruptured a triceps at
16:56
the comp.
17:01
It makes me hurt just thinking about it.
17:03
So they didn't have a truck show up
17:06
with skiers.
17:08
They didn't have a medical team.
17:11
They tried to run the men and women
17:13
in the same lane doing the same event
17:15
at the same time.
17:17
Waterfall style.
17:19
That wasn't even the waterfall style.
17:21
That's another thing.
17:23
Then they tried to run an event waterfall
17:26
style and said,
17:28
don't catch up to the guy in front
17:29
of you.
17:30
You're racing.
17:32
Which is the entire point of catching up
17:34
to the guy in front of you.
17:38
Literally the point.
17:40
It's a race.
17:40
Are you freaking kidding me?
17:47
And the thought process of like,
17:49
so I saw the response of the IF-III
17:52
president,
17:52
whoever it was on Heller's comment,
17:55
saying, hey,
17:56
at least we're getting publicity.
17:58
And this is just a one-off.
18:00
This is just a, dude,
18:03
don't you know in the legal system,
18:04
people sue the deepest pockets.
18:07
Every time.
18:08
They're going to come all the way back
18:10
to you.
18:11
You had no oversight with your name on
18:14
this product.
18:16
None.
18:19
Zero.
18:23
You cannot run an organization that way.
18:28
You can't license out your name on
18:32
something as a final for the Masters.
18:36
It wasn't just like a
18:39
It's the third event or whatever.
18:41
I don't know how they do it.
18:42
They have a points race or whatever the
18:43
case may be.
18:44
But that was their final.
18:47
The very tippy top.
18:49
And you're just going to go, yep,
18:51
you guys won the bid.
18:52
Go ahead and run it.
18:53
It's going to be great.
18:54
You guys are going to do fantastic.
18:56
And it's a complete and utter shit show
19:01
in every single aspect.
19:03
The scoring change that they did, well,
19:06
some people did, well,
19:06
we can't have this endurance event.
19:08
Well,
19:08
we can't have it without this endurance
19:10
event.
19:10
Well,
19:12
some people are going to have to redo
19:13
this endurance event because we changed
19:15
it.
19:16
And, okay, well,
19:17
maybe that score will work.
19:19
Maybe that score won't work.
19:22
Whoa.
19:23
So I want to clear this up.
19:24
It wasn't Gretchen.
19:25
Gretchen is the president of the IF-III.
19:28
She was not the one that made the
19:29
comment on Hiller's post.
19:31
It was actually the Canadian
19:32
representative.
19:34
Correct.
19:34
That's who it was.
19:38
And so...
19:40
You're right.
19:40
They had two clocks going for the
19:42
endurance event.
19:45
Some judges did it right.
19:46
Some judges did it wrong.
19:48
They had times all messed up.
19:50
Athletes were going back and watching the
19:52
video and re-timing it to show what was
19:57
good, what was bad, what their times were.
20:00
And then they started a re-do.
20:04
Halfway through the redo, he said,
20:06
this is a shit show again,
20:08
so we're just cutting this off,
20:10
but we're going to count your redo if
20:11
you did it.
20:13
If not,
20:14
you'll just be judged on five events.
20:15
It makes sense.
20:23
I love Lucy.
20:26
Remember I love Lucy?
20:27
I'm sure you saw reruns when you were
20:28
kids.
20:29
When she's in the pie factory...
20:32
And stuff just keeps coming out and it
20:34
keeps going faster and she keeps going
20:35
faster and she's trying to stuff it.
20:37
She's trying to whatever she can.
20:41
I feel like that's what happened.
20:42
Like one thing,
20:44
one domino fell and then everything else
20:47
just started coming after it.
20:49
And they were just,
20:51
and had no idea what to do because
20:54
that's what it feels like.
20:57
Like stuff was just kept going and it
20:59
kept going and it kept going and it
21:00
kept going and it kept going.
21:02
oh my word no i did not but
21:04
i need to i did not shana i
21:06
will i will look at that um sema
21:11
uh the chocolate kisses yeah yeah uh and
21:15
john john george great analogy it was just
21:20
one thing on top of another and instead
21:23
of shutting it down stopping taking ten
21:27
minutes and saying okay what's happening
21:30
what do we need to do
21:32
Okay, let's do.
21:34
And not leaving up.
21:35
At what point they ask the athletes,
21:38
they put it up to a vote to
21:39
them.
21:39
You don't ask the athletes what they want
21:41
to do.
21:44
No, no.
21:45
That's not how this works.
21:46
Hey,
21:46
we're going to come up with a plan.
21:47
Cool.
21:47
Look,
21:47
we're just going to eliminate the
21:49
endurance event.
21:49
I know at every single one of y'all
21:51
had an endurance event.
21:52
However, it's not feasible right now.
21:55
So instead of trying to change it or
21:56
come up with something last minute to fix
21:58
it, we're just doing five events.
22:00
So if you already did that event,
22:02
Sorry.
22:03
I don't know what to tell you.
22:04
We're moving on from it.
22:06
Thank you, Kenneth.
22:07
People take a sec to like subscribe,
22:09
support the show.
22:10
It's it's free.
22:11
It really is.
22:12
Hit that thumbs up, hit that notifier,
22:16
hit all on the notifier.
22:17
Yeah.
22:20
I like the cons.
22:21
So if you don't know the concept of
22:22
the F three, they have like,
22:24
they take all the elements of,
22:26
of CrossFit endurance, um,
22:31
strength all that and and there's one
22:33
event for each one of those elements and
22:36
then some mixed stuff at the end and
22:41
it and that's the way it's formatted so
22:42
it could be an olympic sport right right
22:46
and it's a it's a cool concept but
22:49
this has been disastrous oh my gosh
22:58
They allowed an athlete to use a lighter
22:59
weight because she couldn't make the lift
23:01
and she podiumed.
23:08
So my question to you is, okay,
23:10
who's at fault?
23:10
Is it the people who are running the
23:12
event in Australia or is it the IF
23:15
three?
23:23
You go high enough.
23:24
There's one, it's one guy, right?
23:27
Well,
23:28
here's my shit rolls downhill generally,
23:31
but when things go wrong, they,
23:36
you follow the trail right back to where
23:37
it started.
23:41
The lack of oversight on this event is
23:44
evident and,
23:46
and they are the ones that should be
23:48
accountable for everything that went
23:50
wrong.
23:51
I have another big movie reference, uh,
23:57
Mel Gibson movie plays a bad guy that
24:00
like his got double crossed and he's
24:02
trying to try to get his seventy thousand
24:03
dollars back.
24:05
And he's like,
24:05
I want to talk to the boss.
24:06
And he said, well,
24:08
this or who would be in charge of
24:09
that decision?
24:09
And he said, well,
24:10
this decision will go to committee.
24:11
He's like, no, no.
24:13
There's always one guy.
24:14
You go high enough, it's always one guy.
24:17
It's the same thing, right?
24:18
IF-III licensed this out to these people.
24:21
Absolutely did.
24:22
You can use our name and likeness,
24:23
but it's not CrossFit.
24:24
It's not like going to a bad CrossFit
24:26
gym where they just pay to use the
24:27
name.
24:28
This is your event.
24:29
This is your final.
24:31
If you go high enough,
24:33
it comes down to one guy.
24:35
I think Hill is absolutely right.
24:36
It's the IF-III.
24:39
It has to be.
24:40
George, go to the top.
24:45
It can't be anybody else.
24:46
How else could it be anybody else?
24:48
You're just going to give it to them
24:50
and be like, guys, have fun.
24:53
See you later.
24:56
With no oversight whatsoever,
24:57
because there couldn't have been.
24:58
If there had been something,
25:00
I feel like just because of their history
25:01
of all these other events being what they
25:04
are, apparently went well.
25:05
Because a lot of other people are saying,
25:07
oh, well, the one here went well,
25:08
the one here went well,
25:09
the one here went well,
25:11
whatever the case may be.
25:12
And this one was just an absolute dumpster
25:14
fire.
25:16
So something had to happen.
25:17
There was no way we'd start going to
25:19
Australia this year.
25:21
Whatever.
25:21
We'll let these people do it.
25:22
It's fine.
25:24
It was not the Expendables.
25:27
I know what you're talking about,
25:28
but I can't think of it.
25:29
It's more obscure than the Expendables.
25:34
It's like later Mel Gibson.
25:37
Yeah.
25:40
Yeah.
25:40
It'll come to me.
25:41
I posted a copy of the Germans video.
25:43
Interesting to see what it all looked
25:45
like.
25:46
So the German video is the one that
25:48
they used to try to go back and
25:49
adjust scores.
25:52
If I'm not mistaken,
25:53
I think that's what Hiller was saying,
25:54
like there were some German people there
25:56
that were.
26:00
Video and you know.
26:05
Video in the entire thing,
26:06
and that's what they were trying to go
26:07
back and use their video to try to
26:09
adjust or fix the scores or whatever.
26:11
And even that did not work apparently.
26:14
So I don't know.
26:18
uh get carter get carter i think that's
26:23
it no maybe that's that's not carter's a
26:26
stallone movie that's just a long movie
26:28
stand by i'm gonna find it leto member
26:31
for five months man she's awesome she is
26:34
she's the best thank you for being so
26:37
supportive leto love you
26:41
Um, all right.
26:43
So speaking of the, I have three, I,
26:46
I, and other in related news,
26:48
I got rumors that the WFP has come
26:51
out with new shirts that say,
26:54
at least we're not the, I have three.
26:57
It's just, it's their logo.
27:02
It's their logo with the three little
27:05
dots.
27:06
At least we're not the IF-III.
27:09
It's just a picture of Will Morad giving
27:13
the two thumbs up.
27:15
No, the movie's called Payback.
27:16
I looked it up.
27:19
Fantastic.
27:20
Or the other shirt with Will just with
27:22
his thumbs up going,
27:24
and you thought we sucked.
27:25
Oh, man.
27:27
You thought we had some bad ideas.
27:31
Kenneth the Lap, eight-teen-month member.
27:34
That is OG.
27:39
Yeah, so, Mr. John George.
27:43
Those t-shirts are the first thing they've
27:44
said that isn't a total lie.
27:46
Yeah, a hundred percent.
27:47
A hundred percent.
27:50
That was the other thing that blew my
27:51
mind, was that the woman that was...
27:54
I don't even want to say she was
27:56
defending...
27:58
what happened right because she's like
28:00
she's like she kept saying oh yes but
28:03
they kept saying well at least nobody died
28:09
we nobody is comparing the two things yeah
28:13
yeah that was dumb nobody's comparing the
28:15
two things at no point did healer say
28:20
anything about anything else
28:22
He didn't bring up the games.
28:24
Like his whole entire video,
28:25
he didn't bring up the games.
28:26
He didn't bring up WFP.
28:28
He was just pointing out, again,
28:30
what happened here.
28:31
And then people want to throw shade and
28:32
say, well, at least nobody died.
28:36
No, but they damn well could have.
28:38
At least there was.
28:42
If you want to play that game, sure.
28:45
CrossFit Games actually had medical staff
28:48
on hand.
28:49
It always does.
28:50
It always will.
28:53
That, that blows my mind.
28:54
And then, uh, the, the, I have three,
28:56
the Canadian lady kept saying, well,
29:00
we're being transparent.
29:01
Yeah.
29:02
This.
29:02
Dude.
29:04
Yeah.
29:04
Okay.
29:05
You're admitting that it sucked,
29:06
but then you're also backpedaling at the
29:08
same, at the same time saying, well,
29:09
this is an isolated event.
29:11
Okay.
29:11
It is an isolated event and it went
29:13
as horribly wrong as anything.
29:15
It's Murphy's law.
29:16
If it could go wrong, it did.
29:19
And guess what it did.
29:23
Own it.
29:25
Sean in Oregon,
29:25
thankful for lunch with the Clydesdale,
29:27
Corey CrossFit, the regulars in this chat.
29:29
Isn't it great?
29:34
Absolutely.
29:34
Lita, thankful for this channel.
29:37
Thank you.
29:38
Thank you.
29:42
Oh, my God.
29:43
That's a stupid thing to say.
29:44
A person can die in a very safe
29:46
and in a very unsafe event.
29:48
They just got lucky.
29:50
Oh, there was no swimming.
29:51
Yeah.
29:55
I can walk out of here and get
29:56
hit by a bus standing on the street.
30:00
It does not matter.
30:02
You walk around downtown somewhere and
30:04
something falls on your head.
30:05
It does not matter.
30:08
Safe, unsafe,
30:09
you can be the most safe person on
30:10
the face of the planet.
30:11
Somebody's going to get hurt.
30:12
Somebody's going to get killed eventually.
30:14
Law of averages.
30:16
Does not matter.
30:18
For them to do the whole...
30:23
safety, transparency, whatever.
30:28
It's the pot calling the kettle black.
30:30
You're throwing stuff.
30:31
Yeah.
30:35
They literally didn't have medical staff
30:36
at the F three.
30:37
Can you imagine if one of those masters
30:38
had a heart attack or something?
30:40
Yeah.
30:41
We talked about Corey and I were at
30:42
an event,
30:42
a master's event where there was a cardiac
30:44
event on the floor.
30:47
So it has happened.
30:49
We've seen it happen.
30:53
It could have very easily happened here.
30:56
And the medical staff was on him.
30:57
He immediately treated, got the form,
31:02
brought to the hospital.
31:03
He was okay.
31:05
So I want to address a comment I
31:06
got a few days back.
31:08
And that is that someone asked,
31:11
do you think that fitness should be an
31:13
Olympic sport?
31:14
Do you think that CrossFit in some way
31:17
should be in the Olympics?
31:19
and my response like is I really don't
31:22
care.
31:22
No, I don't.
31:25
I don't think that the Olympics for sport
31:29
like this really makes that much
31:30
difference.
31:31
No,
31:32
there are all these niche sports out
31:33
there, fencing and judo.
31:36
And that like you watch once every four
31:39
years, maybe a couple matches,
31:41
but you're not watching it.
31:43
You're not watching it like straight
31:44
through.
31:46
Um,
31:48
Every time the Winter Olympics comes on,
31:50
me and my wife sit down and watch
31:51
curling.
31:52
I do like curling.
31:54
Every single year.
31:54
We have curling venues here in Columbus
31:58
for you to try.
32:00
Ironically, at first, right?
32:02
Because we're like,
32:02
what is going on right here?
32:04
But after a while, you're like, what?
32:07
it was so close, you know,
32:08
or they knocked the thing out or whatever.
32:10
The rest of my four years or two,
32:13
however long it is, let me start now.
32:15
I have absolutely no interest in watching
32:17
curling whatsoever.
32:18
When it comes off with Olympics,
32:20
I'm checking it out every single time.
32:22
But you wouldn't have to CrossFit.
32:26
No, I don't think you would.
32:30
What?
32:32
If I want to see CrossFit, I can,
32:34
first of all,
32:34
I can go to my gym and watch
32:36
a class.
32:37
It's not that I coached two of them
32:40
this morning.
32:41
I can watch all the CrossFit I want.
32:42
I go to one of my competitions and
32:44
watch the other that I'm going to be
32:46
participating in and watch the other heats
32:47
go.
32:49
I can bring up the games.
32:50
I can watch the documentaries.
32:51
I can watch the behind the scenes.
32:52
Like I got plenty enough of that.
32:54
Well,
32:54
even a better analogy is like tennis.
33:00
If you're a big tennis fan,
33:01
do you watch the Olympic tennis matches or
33:03
do you watch Wimbledon and the U.S.
33:05
Open and the French Open?
33:09
Right?
33:10
We have the CrossFit Games.
33:11
That is where the best come and they
33:14
duke it out for the championship.
33:16
That's where it means something.
33:18
Right?
33:18
I just don't think it means anything.
33:20
And it's going to be a bastardized version
33:22
of CrossFit in the Games anyway.
33:25
Right?
33:25
So I don't even think it even moves
33:29
the needle to put it in the Olympics.
33:31
No.
33:32
And like Lita said,
33:34
there was breakdancing at the Olympics for
33:36
Christ's sake.
33:36
Right.
33:38
And how much of that did you watch?
33:42
Just the Australian chick who... Well,
33:44
I saw that on the talk and on
33:45
the reels.
33:46
And only because it went viral.
33:51
Right.
33:51
That's it.
33:53
Other than that, I was like,
33:54
that's a cool concept.
33:56
I like breakdancing,
33:58
but I'm not watching that.
33:59
Like Lito said,
34:00
soccer at the Olympics is nothing like the
34:03
World Cup.
34:04
No, it's not even close.
34:07
Not even the same stratosphere.
34:11
No.
34:13
Watching the Dream Team every year just go
34:16
beat the ever-living mess out of every
34:19
other country on the planet.
34:22
Like, okay, cool.
34:24
It's like watching the Harlem
34:26
Globetrotters play.
34:27
You know the outcome before it's going to
34:29
start.
34:29
I'm not watching that.
34:32
That basketball is not for us.
34:35
That basketball is to grow the sport
34:38
internationally.
34:40
Correct.
34:41
That's all that is.
34:43
It's not for our entertainment.
34:44
No.
34:48
So, once again, misleader there.
34:51
Well,
34:56
that's why the IF-III has a very set...
35:02
Full circle of what is available.
35:04
Full circle.
35:05
So here's the thing, too.
35:07
So they have a strength event, right?
35:11
They have whatever it is,
35:13
six or seven things, endurance, blah,
35:14
blah, blah, whatever.
35:16
All of those things are already events at
35:17
the Olympics.
35:18
Weightlifting is an event at the Olympics.
35:21
Speed, so track,
35:23
is going to be an event at the
35:24
Olympics.
35:24
Endurance, marathoning.
35:26
Speed walking is an Olympic event,
35:28
for Christ's sake.
35:30
Right.
35:31
So you're trying to condense all of those
35:33
things into make it and just call it
35:34
CrossFit when it's already going on over
35:36
there.
35:36
Like,
35:37
I understand what they're trying to do.
35:39
I just don't think it's a very good
35:40
idea.
35:40
It's probably not going to end up
35:41
happening because if people, you know,
35:44
accidentally watching it,
35:46
they're not going to know what they're
35:47
looking at.
35:48
Right.
35:49
Aside from us,
35:50
people who actually know what they're
35:52
looking at and they're just going to look
35:53
at it and go.
35:55
Oh, that's already a thing.
35:58
Like, why are we watching this again?
36:00
Why am I watching this?
36:01
Whoever this guy is snatch when I could
36:04
watch an actual Olympic lifter snatch and
36:07
hit way bigger numbers.
36:11
Um,
36:12
Lito.
36:13
However,
36:13
I bet a few good athletes would try
36:14
to get to the Olympics just to be
36:16
able to have the Olympic circles tattoo.
36:17
Just saying,
36:18
I think people would think it was a
36:19
cool experience.
36:20
Absolutely.
36:22
But if you ask Jason Hopper,
36:23
if he wants an Olympic medal or the
36:26
CrossFit games fittest on earth,
36:28
I believe he'd say fittest on earth.
36:29
Yeah.
36:32
I just remember,
36:33
and this is a very obscure reference,
36:35
Lindsay Davenport,
36:37
when they first put tennis into the
36:38
Olympics,
36:39
she was an American tennis player.
36:41
She'd won Wimbledon.
36:42
She'd won the U.S.
36:43
Open.
36:44
She goes and wins the Olympic medal.
36:46
And it meant something.
36:47
She got to be on the podium.
36:48
She got to do the thing in the
36:50
stadium and the walk-in and all that.
36:53
But it didn't mean as much to her
36:54
as the Wimbledon title.
36:55
Yeah.
36:59
because wimbledon's the premier event on
37:01
the planet like that's the one you win
37:04
uh sean in oregon didn't tia claire to
37:06
me try to get out try out for
37:08
the olympic bobsled team she did she
37:10
actually made the australian bobsled team
37:13
but then got replaced last second right
37:16
before the olympics um
37:21
she also tried in weightlifting and she
37:24
made it to the commonwealth games but
37:26
didn't finish high enough to qualify for
37:28
the game for the olympics which again is
37:31
cool but as good as tia is at
37:36
what we do she's always going to get
37:39
beat by the specialists who that's all
37:43
they do i mean that's just a fact
37:48
I don't know how hard bobsled is.
37:50
It just seems like sliding down a mountain
37:52
inside of a... Well,
37:54
it's almost not a track start.
37:57
Yeah.
37:58
It's how fast can you run and push
38:00
the sled to get it started.
38:05
And then it's just steering it so you
38:06
don't get out of control.
38:08
You don't want to be like the Jenkins
38:10
and end up upside down at the bottom.
38:14
It seems like fun.
38:15
I will say that.
38:18
flying down the side of a mountain at
38:19
ninety miles an hour,
38:20
however fast it goes.
38:24
I grew up in the Appalachian Mountains.
38:27
Sled riding was that for me every day.
38:30
Just up on my little plastic sled,
38:33
get going about thirty miles an hour
38:34
downhill, try to miss a tree.
38:40
Come on, Jamaica, it's bobsled time.
38:43
Feel the light.
38:44
Come on, Jamaica, it's bobsled time.
38:48
Fantastic movie.
38:55
Yeah.
38:56
All right.
38:57
What else we got?
38:59
They have decided,
39:00
the Safety Council has decided that every
39:03
athlete at the CrossFit Games in the
39:05
individual and team event will go through
39:10
medical screening.
39:12
On their own.
39:13
From their doctor.
39:14
Yeah.
39:15
Basically,
39:15
you need to get a note from your
39:16
doctor that says, hey, this dude is fit.
39:19
He's healthy.
39:24
My primary care physician is my wife's
39:27
first cousin.
39:29
I'm just going to put that out there.
39:30
I could call Dwayne right now.
39:33
In high school, trying to play football,
39:35
and you walk in to get your physical,
39:38
and the doctor checked you for hernia and
39:41
said, all right, good to go.
39:46
look just sign the people that's what it
39:48
feels like here yeah absolutely absolutely
39:52
i'm telling you dude i could call dwayne
39:54
right now be like hey i need a
39:57
waiver to go compete at the game he'd
39:59
be like you want me to email it
40:00
to you or or you just gonna come
40:02
pick it up and i'll let i'll come
40:03
pick it up in a little bit all
40:04
right cool and that's the end of it
40:06
it's done i'm not going to his office
40:08
i'm not doing any of that he's just
40:10
gonna send it on the way and we're
40:12
gonna call the good
40:15
I guess the answer to this is what
40:18
liability does that excuse them from?
40:25
That's got to be what it is.
40:28
It's not a safety thing.
40:29
It's a cover our ass thing.
40:31
It's a CYA thing.
40:34
Yes, one hundred percent.
40:36
It is the waiver that you sign when
40:38
you sign up for your first CrossFit class
40:41
that says you will not sue them if
40:42
you hurt yourself inside their gym.
40:44
Which that is meaningless anyway.
40:46
Which that is.
40:47
Any lawyer will look at it and be
40:49
like, this is nonsense.
40:50
Okay, yeah, we know.
40:53
It's a CYA thing.
40:53
That's it.
40:55
Mike thinks we should just let them drug
40:57
test themselves too.
40:58
Why, yeah.
41:00
It'll cut costs,
41:03
get rid of the medical team,
41:05
and get rid of the drug testing.
41:08
Yeah.
41:12
Yeah, that's all we got, Joseph.
41:14
Turn and cough.
41:14
You're good.
41:15
That's it.
41:20
Shanna, our resident doctor,
41:23
problem is this is a legal document,
41:25
and if anything happens to the athlete,
41:26
the doctor could be sued.
41:28
So it might require a full physical.
41:34
I would not sign one without doing a
41:36
full physical on a person,
41:38
I think is what she's saying.
41:44
And that's fair.
41:47
One hundred percent, but.
41:51
Again,
41:52
Scott and I are in agreement on this
41:53
one.
41:54
I really,
41:56
really don't think that this is anything
41:59
more than just a, hey, look,
42:01
we're making sure everybody's healthy
42:02
before they come because their doctor's
42:03
not an awful lot.
42:05
I appreciate Shanna's point of view,
42:06
though, because as the doctor,
42:09
CrossFit's covering their ass,
42:11
but now it's a liability on the doctor.
42:13
On the doctor.
42:14
Yeah,
42:14
they're passing the buck going down the
42:15
line.
42:16
Well, Dr.
42:18
Buntz said that this athlete was
42:22
absolutely fine.
42:23
So it's not on us.
42:24
I mean, she signed off on it.
42:27
CYA.
42:28
She's basically agreeing with us at that
42:32
point.
42:32
Yeah.
42:34
Athletes want to change.
42:35
Here's change.
42:36
Do we know if CrossFit can stop someone
42:38
from competing?
42:40
My question is that to answer Doug's
42:44
question with a question is that what are
42:46
the parameters going to be?
42:50
Well,
42:50
I'm sure they can stop people from
42:51
competing whether it's about this or
42:53
anything else.
42:59
But what are those parameters going to be?
43:00
Because you got to have like a
43:04
a set stall, right?
43:05
Like we're going from, you know,
43:08
whatever your metric is, blood pressure,
43:10
EKG, well, it's only can go this high,
43:11
but not that high.
43:13
What's your resting heart rate?
43:16
There's gotta have some sort of metrics in
43:17
there, not just saying, oh no,
43:19
doctor said I'm good.
43:20
I got this, I got this thing.
43:21
Well,
43:23
if you're gonna have that and you're gonna
43:24
have to enforce it some sort of way,
43:25
like Doug's saying,
43:27
then there has to be some sort of
43:29
guidelines,
43:29
some sort of parameters in place,
43:30
because otherwise you're just kind of
43:32
swinging at nothing.
43:37
I wonder if they have to disclose all
43:39
medications they're taking.
43:42
We've just heard this is happening.
43:45
And this is all through rumors that they
43:49
tried to push this through last year.
43:51
Yes.
43:52
And it did not make it.
43:54
Correct.
43:55
And now it's being pushed through this
43:57
year and it's made it through.
43:59
But none of us have seen...
44:02
the form that has to be filled out
44:04
like Lito saying,
44:05
what about if they do an EKG and
44:07
try to find things ahead of time?
44:09
We don't know if that's required, man,
44:11
that it could be a full battery of
44:13
tests.
44:13
If they require it,
44:15
we don't know anything about what they're,
44:17
what they're actually forced to do.
44:25
Mike, do you all agree?
44:26
I don't think,
44:27
I don't even think they would stop anyone
44:28
from competing.
44:29
It's just an added checkbox for liability.
44:31
Okay.
44:33
Without knowing more,
44:35
like that's my first go-to as well.
44:37
Without knowing if there's parameters,
44:39
if they're saying, you know,
44:41
if you don't hit X, Y, Z,
44:43
you can't play.
44:46
If it's just, oh,
44:47
you got to go see a doctor and
44:48
get checked off before you come in here.
44:50
Well, I mean,
44:51
you can get that done at the urgent
44:54
care.
44:55
Hey,
44:55
I just need to get a physical done.
44:56
All right, cool.
44:57
Come in at two thirty.
44:58
We'll get it.
44:59
We'll have you out of here by three
45:00
o'clock.
45:02
Joseph wants to know,
45:02
are they testing for pregnancies too?
45:05
Mostly for the women.
45:13
Let's see.
45:13
I know they're coming in.
45:14
We have stuff coming in.
45:18
If they don't clear them,
45:19
I don't think CrossFit would want them to
45:21
compete.
45:22
Well,
45:23
it's pointless to have the rule if you
45:25
bypass that anyway.
45:27
Right.
45:32
So yeah,
45:34
it'll be interesting to see if like,
45:36
I'm sure like the spin or,
45:38
or Hiller or one of those guys are
45:39
going to get a copy of it has
45:42
to be filled out in the requirements of
45:44
the physical or whatever.
45:46
But it's going to,
45:47
it's going to be interesting to see what,
45:51
what comes of that.
45:52
As soon as those documents become
45:55
available,
45:56
I am willing to bet Brian's been going
45:57
to get his hands on one like that,
46:00
that dude, he gets ahold of everything.
46:03
Because all the athletes are going to get
46:04
them if they have to take them to
46:06
their doctor.
46:10
Yeah,
46:11
or somebody will send a copy to Jenny.
46:13
Yeah.
46:15
One or two.
46:15
My money's on Brian first.
46:19
Yeah.
46:19
Back in the day,
46:20
I tried to beat Brian at that game.
46:23
And I learned real quickly, like,
46:24
that is not my lane.
46:27
That's not my lane.
46:30
I'm just going to let him go ahead
46:31
and do that,
46:32
and I'm going to find another lane.
46:34
Because now with Jenny in the mix and
46:37
Hiller, there's no good.
46:40
Fastest gun in the West, dude.
46:42
Fastest gun in the West.
46:44
And look,
46:45
us being able to do this and kind
46:47
of react to whatever else is going on,
46:49
it's like somebody else does most of the
46:51
legwork for us.
46:52
So I'm good with that.
46:54
And I talk to people.
46:55
I hear things.
46:58
And I add that as part of like
47:00
what I'm talking about,
47:01
but actually like break the news.
47:04
It's much cooler to just kind of be
47:07
able to keep the trust of people and
47:09
know things than it is to have to
47:11
break it and piss everybody off.
47:16
The fact that neither Brian nor Hiller,
47:19
because Hiller also gets a whole bunch of
47:20
stuff, nobody knows any of their sources.
47:23
None of that's ever got leaked is amazing,
47:27
in my opinion.
47:28
This community is not that big.
47:31
It's not amazing because they're people
47:33
who want to keep doing it.
47:35
No,
47:37
not saying that either one of those two
47:41
would give up any one of them because
47:44
Hiller has said repeatedly that he's not,
47:46
and I will never say believe,
47:49
but just the fact that nobody else has
47:50
found out or put it together.
47:52
Right.
47:55
This community is not that big, dude.
47:57
It is unimaginably small,
48:00
as a matter of fact.
48:02
I got to think about that one day.
48:06
If it was an absolute emergency,
48:08
I believe I am three phone calls away
48:09
from Dave Castro,
48:10
which is mind-boggling to me.
48:13
I know somebody who knows his numbers.
48:17
yeah like that kind of stuff twice removed
48:22
yeah not because i'm two yeah that's what
48:24
i'm saying three at most at most and
48:29
that's if i go in that direction like
48:33
because i know i also know people who
48:34
know bonds and i know boss has dave's
48:38
number so like it's not i think it's
48:41
either way it's
48:43
This place is not that big.
48:44
So the fact that their sources,
48:46
whatever they may be,
48:47
have been able to stay hidden and stay
48:49
like nobody knows who they are.
48:51
And they keep getting this information and
48:52
keep getting it as fast as they do.
48:56
People send stuff to Hiller now because
48:58
they know he's going to put it out.
49:01
If it's interesting, if it's whatever,
49:04
I don't know what the word is,
49:06
sensationalized,
49:08
whatever you want to call it,
49:09
like the IF-III stuff, dude,
49:10
he got that overnight.
49:13
put it together, made that video.
49:15
Like this first thing he says,
49:16
I got this blue screen sent to me
49:18
at least twelve times.
49:21
And probably a ridiculously short amount
49:23
of time.
49:24
And then put that video together and put
49:25
it out.
49:26
What I find fascinating is the athletes
49:31
that sent him stuff.
49:32
Yeah.
49:33
And he won't say who,
49:35
but just the fact that the same people
49:38
bitching about what he puts out send him
49:41
tips about what's going on.
49:46
That's the wild world we live in.
49:48
And I'll talk about this,
49:49
and I am going to come on tomorrow
49:51
because with my sinus infection,
49:53
I was not able to travel for Thanksgiving.
49:56
So I'm here by myself.
49:57
So I'm going to do a Thanksgiving Day
49:59
show.
50:00
And if it's just me and Corey and
50:03
two other people in the chat,
50:05
it is what it is.
50:07
But I'll talk about this more tomorrow.
50:10
We talked about this reality show concept
50:13
for WFP,
50:14
and I want to talk about it a
50:14
little bit more tomorrow.
50:16
Well,
50:16
we talk about how the NDA would be
50:22
meaningless in the CrossFit space because
50:24
nobody can keep a secret.
50:26
The truth of the matter is there are
50:28
people that can keep a secret and the
50:31
Titan games kept a secret.
50:33
The, uh,
50:35
the shows like the challenge and survivor
50:38
and big brother,
50:39
like those Hollywood NDAs are much more
50:42
ironclad and are much more punishable and
50:46
harsh on that penalty that nobody gives up
50:49
those secrets.
50:51
They have millions of dollars riding on
50:53
these episodes coming out and
50:55
And so they will come after you hard
50:57
if you leak information.
51:00
Well, they also have teams of lawyers.
51:02
Right, right.
51:04
Ready,
51:05
like up on the starting blocks ready to
51:08
go after people.
51:10
You know, we don't necessarily have that.
51:13
I mean, when Greg was still in charge,
51:16
like those NDAs were pretty...
51:20
pretty damn stout,
51:20
pretty damn straightforward.
51:22
And it took a lot before stuff got
51:24
leaked eventually.
51:26
And then once it did,
51:27
the person that was held responsible for
51:29
it was actually held responsible for it.
51:31
I think that's when they were small and
51:34
the pocket and the circle was small.
51:37
As it's grown, the circle's grown,
51:41
the leaks have grown and their team has
51:44
shrunk.
51:45
Yep.
51:46
So that's where it's just crazy.
51:52
small team a small team so with that
51:56
um we're coming up on the hour need
51:59
to get back to work but with that
52:01
guys i will be here tomorrow don't forget
52:04
