• 1:24
  During this year's Open.
• 1:25
  In the Open.
• 1:26
  In the Open.
• 1:29
  Based off three workouts.
• 1:31
  Right.
• 1:31
  Right.
• 1:32
  But I could not be any prouder of you.
• 1:34
  We'll get into that in a second.
• 1:36
  But first,
• 1:37
  it's been a week since I've seen
• 1:38
  you guys.
• 1:40
  I went to Pennsylvania this
• 1:41
  week to see my mom.
• 1:43
  It's been a couple weeks
• 1:44
  since she's been out of the hospital.
• 1:45
  Went, did a little checkup with her,
• 1:47
  kind of hung out with her for the weekend,
• 1:49
  made sure she was doing well.
• 1:51
  It was really great to have
• 1:54
  that time with her to do that.
• 1:55
  And then Julie did the same
• 1:56
  with her parents.
• 1:57
  So we got to PA and we split.
• 2:00
  I spent time with my pit mom
• 2:02
  and she spent time with her parents.
• 2:03
  We did that and then jumped
• 2:06
  back in the car this
• 2:07
  morning and headed back for
• 2:09
  Columbus so we could do this show.
• 2:12
  And then today I caught up
• 2:13
  real quick on the pit and Reacher.
• 2:16
  Yes.
• 2:17
  Holy cow.
• 2:18
  I thought the pit was the
• 2:19
  season finale and then
• 2:21
  learned that they've
• 2:22
  extended it to fifteen episodes.
• 2:24
  Yeah.
• 2:25
  Thank goodness.
• 2:26
  But I lost.
• 2:27
  I could not catch my breath
• 2:28
  during that episode.
• 2:29
  I know.
• 2:31
  If that is what a real ER is
• 2:33
  like in a trauma situation
• 2:36
  like that... Probably.
• 2:39
  Insanity.
• 2:42
  And if you read online,
• 2:44
  like all these medical
• 2:45
  professionals are saying,
• 2:46
  this one comes the closest
• 2:48
  to depicting what a real ER
• 2:52
  is like than any other show on TV.
• 2:56
  But some of the injuries
• 2:58
  that they showed today...
• 3:01
  Julie kept saying, tell me when it's over.
• 3:03
  Tell me when it's over.
• 3:05
  Yeah.
• 3:06
  Yeah.
• 3:06
  I was just like, Oh, I had to like, yeah,
• 3:09
  definitely look away a few times.
• 3:10
  Oh.
• 3:11
  And then reachers just set
• 3:12
  up for the season finale this Thursday.
• 3:15
  Yeah.
• 3:16
  It's all, you know,
• 3:17
  he's got them in the sites
• 3:18
  and now it's what happens next week.
• 3:21
  It's exactly what I thought
• 3:23
  was going to happen.
• 3:26
  Yeah.
• 3:26
  Yeah.
• 3:27
  Yeah.
• 3:28
  He never gets to keep the girl ever.
• 3:29
  Yeah.
• 3:30
  Yeah.
• 3:32
  And so he,
• 3:33
  she was going to piss him off or
• 3:34
  do something.
• 3:36
  Sometimes they die.
• 3:37
  So at least she's still
• 3:38
  alive at this point.
• 3:39
  I just went back going where he went.
• 3:41
  That's exactly what I expected.
• 3:44
  I did too.
• 3:45
  Yeah.
• 3:45
  But now we get to see the
• 3:47
  climax next week.
• 3:49
  So that was fun.
• 3:51
  The last thing I'm going to say,
• 3:52
  and I'm going to turn it over to you guys,
• 3:53
  but, you know,
• 3:55
  we've been touting this
• 3:56
  NCAA tournament thing this week.
• 3:57
  And I was telling Jamie
• 3:58
  before we went live, in PA,
• 4:00
  nobody cares about the NCAA
• 4:02
  basketball tournaments.
• 4:04
  It's all about the wrestling
• 4:05
  national championships
• 4:06
  there because Penn State has won, like,
• 4:10
  some ungodly number in a row
• 4:11
  of national championships
• 4:12
  in wrestling and they
• 4:15
  actually had the first ever
• 4:17
  five-time national champion
• 4:19
  individual in wrestling
• 4:21
  because of the coveted year
• 4:23
  he got an extra year of
• 4:24
  eligibility and won five
• 4:27
  straight years in a row
• 4:29
  And the match was four to
• 4:30
  three to win his fifth one
• 4:33
  in the final match.
• 4:35
  So it was, it was very exhilarating,
• 4:37
  but that's what everybody's
• 4:38
  talking about in PA.
• 4:40
  Nobody's talking about the
• 4:41
  basketball tournament,
• 4:44
  which I found just really fascinating.
• 4:47
  And Carolyn, you'd love this.
• 4:48
  Even the penguins are
• 4:49
  getting more run in Pittsburgh.
• 4:51
  Yeah.
• 4:52
  they're in last place then
• 4:54
  the tournament it's so dumb
• 4:56
  I've been like watching
• 4:57
  non-stop I haven't the only
• 4:59
  day I watched the men's
• 5:00

  attention to um dc calling

• 5:17

• 5:21
  Yeah.
• 5:22
  Wrestling is so huge where I grew up.
• 5:24
  So huge.
• 5:29
  What was your guys' week like?
• 5:34
  I can't think of my week right now.
• 5:36

• 7:50
  beat ohio state and I let
• 7:52
  katie henniger know she
• 7:52

• 7:55
  probably knows that the
• 7:57
  wisco girls took down ohio
• 7:59
  state um in overtime they
• 8:02
  were down three three one
• 8:04
  at one point they tied the
• 8:05
  game with eighteen seconds
• 8:06
  left on a penalty shot and
• 8:09
  then won it in overtime wow
• 8:11
  it was uh it just got done
• 8:12
  about an hour ago so
• 8:14
  yeah just kind of on a group
• 8:16
  chat with all of my like
• 8:17
  ex-teammates and stuff like
• 8:18
  that and we're just super
• 8:19
  pumped they were the best
• 8:21
  team all year so I was
• 8:23
  gonna ask you I saw they
• 8:24
  won the semi-final match uh
• 8:27
  like two days ago yeah and
• 8:29
  I was gonna ask you like
• 8:30
  how much how connected do
• 8:31
  you stay with your alma
• 8:33
  mater like after you're
• 8:35
  done playing like do you
• 8:37
  watch as much as you can or
• 8:39
  do you kind of move on to
• 8:40
  other things in life
• 8:42
  No, I think I still,
• 8:43
  I still follow like how they're doing.
• 8:45
  And honestly,
• 8:46
  most of the time they're in
• 8:47
  the national championship
• 8:48
  game or in the frozen four.
• 8:49
  So it's easy to like stay,
• 8:53
  stay with it with how
• 8:54
  they're doing just because
• 8:55
  they're always doing like very well.
• 8:58
  But yeah, no, we have,
• 8:58
  we have a group chat.
• 8:59
  So.
• 9:00
  They do like an alumni weekend every year.
• 9:03
  I haven't done it just
• 9:03
  because it just falls like
• 9:05
  during school year and it's
• 9:06
  just tough time to travel right away.
• 9:09
  But maybe in a few years,
• 9:10
  we'll do the alumni stuff with them.
• 9:13
  But yeah,
• 9:15
  I know just we normally connect a
• 9:16
  couple times a year and
• 9:18
  it's around how the current
• 9:19
  girls are doing.
• 9:20
  A lot of them will go and watch different,
• 9:23
  like some of the games when
• 9:24
  they're in their cities where they live.
• 9:26
  So yeah, it's pretty cool.
• 9:32
  Andrew said Canada just beat
• 9:33
  USA in men's soccer today.
• 9:35
  The two one or something like that.
• 9:37
  It was pretty close.
• 9:38
  I was getting updates on my
• 9:39
  phone about the game.
• 9:41
  I did.
• 9:42
  That's one thing I did not keep up with.
• 9:45
  I know our Michigan State
• 9:46
  men's hockey team is ranked number one.
• 9:50
  Yeah, they're always pretty good.
• 9:51
  Yeah, they are always pretty good.
• 9:53
  Yeah.
• 9:54
  there's no michigan um teams
• 9:56
  in the ncaa which is crazy
• 9:58
  because it's such a hockey
• 10:00
  um state yeah yeah uh larry
• 10:06
  young pops in with uh I was
• 10:08
  at a critical access
• 10:09
  hospital where I was on
• 10:10
  call for every trauma every
• 10:11
  code all the ob not sure I
• 10:13
  want to watch the pit I don't know
• 10:18
  I've never done it larry so
• 10:19
  I can't tell you but from
• 10:21
  what I've seen on the
• 10:22
  internet people are saying
• 10:23
  it is very realistic and
• 10:26
  like I don't want to ruin
• 10:29
  any of the storylines in
• 10:29
  case people are trying to
• 10:30
  keep up but there's a
• 10:32
  trauma event that happens
• 10:34
  and they they show the
• 10:36
  injuries it is fast-paced
• 10:38
  they show the prep of the
• 10:39
  er getting all the normal
• 10:41
  patients out of the way
• 10:44
  getting all the equipment
• 10:45
  out of the way so they can
• 10:46
  put more beds in.
• 10:47
  Like it was,
• 10:49
  I was out of breath at the end
• 10:51
  of the episode.
• 10:51
  Yeah.
• 10:53
  And it ends with no answers.
• 10:55
  None.
• 10:56
  And there's three more episodes to go.
• 10:58
  So you're just kind of like
• 11:00
  you're out of breath and
• 11:01
  you don't still don't have
• 11:02
  the answers you want.
• 11:05
  I saw they released some like still clips,
• 11:10
  just like photos of scenes.
• 11:12
  I don't know.
• 11:13
  I don't want to know.
• 11:14
  Yeah.
• 11:14
  There's like a ton of
• 11:15
  speculation on some stuff.
• 11:16
  I mean, I don't know.
• 11:19
  It's crazy that I really liked that.
• 11:22
  Uh,
• 11:22
  the Asian doctor that they brought in
• 11:24
  who was like working outside.
• 11:27
  Yeah.
• 11:27
  Yeah.
• 11:29
  It's really like just laid
• 11:30
  back and like nothing.
• 11:31
  Yeah.
• 11:31
  Yeah.
• 11:33
  So when the trauma patients come in,
• 11:35
  and just for Carolyn,
• 11:35
  because I know she doesn't watch the show,
• 11:37
  they have slap bands and
• 11:39
  they're different colors.
• 11:39
  And that is how they are
• 11:41
  assessing where the patient goes.
• 11:44
  Like red is critical and
• 11:47
  they could die within the
• 11:48
  hour or within five minutes, right?
• 11:50
  And then pink is within the hour.
• 11:54
  And then they have a
• 11:54
  checkered one that is like
• 11:55
  straight to the morgue.
• 11:57
  Like literally just,
• 11:58
  and they're slapping them on wrists.
• 12:00
  And once they get the band,
• 12:01
  they're just taken.
• 12:02
  And they have people in the
• 12:03
  parking lot grabbing them
• 12:04
  as they're coming out of
• 12:05
  the vehicles and slapping
• 12:07
  these wrists on them.
• 12:08
  And this new doctor that
• 12:09
  they introduced in this
• 12:10
  episode is like sipping his
• 12:12
  Starbucks and going, yeah, red, pink.
• 12:15
  Yeah.
• 12:18
  Yeah,
• 12:18
  you just don't even think he's
• 12:19
  listening to Robbie at first.
• 12:21
  Yeah.
• 12:22
  And he turns out to be really,
• 12:23
  really good at what he does.
• 12:26
  I liked him.
• 12:26
  Cool.
• 12:28
  Um, yeah, it's, it's just amazing.
• 12:33
  I'm so glad I started watching the show.
• 12:35
  Yeah.
• 12:35
  Thanks for recommending it.
• 12:38
  Um,
• 12:39
  so we'll move on to some real news now.
• 12:43
  And that is that my two
• 12:45
  co-hosts proved that they
• 12:47
  are really fit during this year's open.
• 12:50
  Um, and they, because Jamie won the
• 12:56
  carolyn won the thirty five
• 12:58
  to thirty nine year old
• 12:59
  division and not only did
• 13:01
  carolyn do it and I and I
• 13:02
  said this on the one of the
• 13:03
  lunch shows someone said
• 13:05
  clean sweep for carolyn I
• 13:06
  said no no no au contraire
• 13:08
  mon frere it was a hat
• 13:10
  trick for carolyn we got to
• 13:13
  get the right terminology
• 13:14
  that is the right canadian
• 13:15
  terminology anyways that's
• 13:17
  what we call it yeah um
• 13:21
  Carolyn ended up finishing
• 13:23
  fourth overall in the world.
• 13:25
  Fifth.
• 13:25
  Fifth.
• 13:26
  Unless they've switched the leaderboard.
• 13:28
  I don't think anything changed.
• 13:30
  I don't think so either.
• 13:32
  I made the rundown at like
• 13:33
  eleven thirty midnight last night.
• 13:35
  I don't.
• 13:37
  And then, Jamie,
• 13:38
  you were like one fifty top
• 13:41
  one fifty one forty four, I think.
• 13:45
  In the world.
• 13:45
  Yeah.
• 13:46
  Overall, at forty one years old.
• 13:49
  Yeah,
• 13:49
  I think I was one thirty two last
• 13:51
  year overall.
• 13:52
  So that went,
• 13:53
  which is weird because I was
• 13:54
  like third overall last
• 13:56
  year in my age group,
• 13:57
  but one thirty in the world.
• 14:00
  And now I'm first, but one forty ish.
• 14:04
  Who was your podium last year?
• 14:06
  And has anyone aged out of that?
• 14:08
  No.
• 14:08
  Are you're.
• 14:10
  Yeah, no, no.
• 14:11
  Carly Newlands was first.
• 14:13
  Pinero was second and Carly
• 14:16
  Matthews was third.
• 14:17
  And then she's injured right now.
• 14:18
  She's doing.
• 14:19
  Yeah, I know.
• 14:20
  She was doing like crazy versions.
• 14:22
  I was like,
• 14:22
  she did single arm thrusters
• 14:24
  and workout too.
• 14:25
  She was doing single arm snatches.
• 14:28
  yeah at that point I was
• 14:30
  like why yeah I didn't end
• 14:32
  up seeing where she did
• 14:34
  okay in the first workout I
• 14:36
  think she probably mostly
• 14:37
  used the good arm and I
• 14:39
  think she still did okay in
• 14:40
  the second I didn't see the
• 14:43
  I didn't see the third like
• 14:45
  it sounded like either a
• 14:46
  wrist or I don't know like
• 14:48
  she broke some surgery yeah
• 14:50
  some sort of yeah
• 14:53
  I can't imagine like our
• 14:55
  muscle ups were great or
• 14:57
  wall walks or any of that
• 14:58
  like I don't know I would
• 15:01
  have just like probably
• 15:02
  just done like a dumbbell
• 15:04
  variation yeah she was
• 15:07
  doing like the one arm
• 15:08
  snatches with the barbell
• 15:10
  and like jesus I was like
• 15:13
  don't get your other arm
• 15:14
  all messed up yeah not worth it
• 15:17
  Jules D says,
• 15:19
  the first episode of The Pit
• 15:20
  gave me a panic attack once.
• 15:21
  I realized what was happening.
• 15:23
  I stopped watching.
• 15:24
  Great show, but crazy stressful.
• 15:26
  Craig says, hell yeah to both of you.
• 15:30
  Blair Lettingham,
• 15:30
  big congrats to you both.
• 15:33
  Jason, congrats, ladies.
• 15:36
  Jules D, congratulations.
• 15:38
  Jason, yeah, we know.
• 15:42
  Some fit ladies from Larry Young.
• 15:46
  aaron says if pinero is
• 15:48
  saucing why can't they
• 15:49
  catch her I actually have a
• 15:51
  feeling she probably isn't
• 15:52
  anymore um but she did it
• 15:55
  one time for sure I'm sure
• 15:58
  she did it for several years
• 16:01
  five, six years ago or something.
• 16:02
  Just, you know,
• 16:03
  like a five-year stint of just craziness.
• 16:06
  And I don't know, but, I mean,
• 16:10
  if you watch the Hiller video,
• 16:11
  he talks specifically about the women.
• 16:13
  And there's another woman in
• 16:15
  the thirty-five to
• 16:15
  thirty-nine who admitted use.
• 16:17
  But, like,
• 16:19
  I feel like it just sticks
• 16:20
  around for the women.
• 16:21
  If you've ever done it,
• 16:22
  you're going to continue to
• 16:24
  have benefit from it.
• 16:24
  So that's where, for me,
• 16:26
  it's like just because you get caught.
• 16:28
  Like, if you...
• 16:31
  did bodybuilding shows or whatever,
• 16:33
  or you're,
• 16:34
  you like did performance
• 16:37
  enhancing drugs five years ago.
• 16:38
  I just feel like,
• 16:39
  I feel like it needs to be
• 16:40
  like a permanent ban for women.
• 16:41
  It's just ridiculous.
• 16:42
  There's clearly a benefit
• 16:44
  that she sustained out of that.
• 16:46
  Yeah.
• 16:46
  Hillard documents, documents that it,
• 16:50
  it does stay longer in
• 16:51
  women's bodies than it does in men's.
• 16:54
  Um, and it takes longer to flush out.
• 16:56
  So
• 17:01
  And that's what we're saying,
• 17:02
  that there is evidence that
• 17:03
  it stays in a woman's body
• 17:05
  longer than it stays in a man's.
• 17:09
  We're not here to debate the
• 17:10
  length of suspension at this point.
• 17:12
  We'll do that for another show.
• 17:13
  We've talked about that on other shows.
• 17:15
  Yeah.
• 17:18
  Yeah.
• 17:22
  and understand she's still
• 17:24
  reaping the benefits wayne
• 17:26
  short lance armstrong never
• 17:28
  tested positive and she's
• 17:30
  like a doctor in brazil
• 17:33
  like she knows exactly if
• 17:34
  she is she knows exactly
• 17:35
  what she's doing and how to
• 17:36
  get around it and probably
• 17:37
  can pull her blood at any
• 17:38
  time and yeah yeah it it's
• 17:46
  all of this stuff is an IQ test,
• 17:48
  not a testing drugs test.
• 17:50
  Yep.
• 17:51
  If you know this,
• 17:52
  if you know the cycle
• 17:53
  length of you or the short
• 17:56
  half-life of whatever you're taking,
• 17:58
  you can beat the system.
• 17:59
  If there's no random testing,
• 18:01
  if you know when the test comes,
• 18:04
  you can beat the test.
• 18:08
  So, um, um,
• 18:16
  I don't want this to turn
• 18:17
  into a steroid show.
• 18:17
  So I'm going to move on to, uh,
• 18:21
  overall thoughts on this year's open.
• 18:23
  I shared my thoughts earlier
• 18:24
  this week that this was the
• 18:25
  most fun I've had in the
• 18:26
  open in a very long time.
• 18:29
  Um, just personally doing the open.
• 18:31
  I thought the workouts were fun to do.
• 18:35
  Um,
• 18:35
  probably the fact that I actually was
• 18:37
  able to do RX versions at my age, um,
• 18:40
  was very different for me
• 18:42
  in than in years past.
• 18:44
  Um,
• 18:45
  But I felt like I had goals.
• 18:47
  I could I could strive for those goals.
• 18:49
  Sometimes I beat those goals.
• 18:51
  It was just a really fun year.
• 18:53
  And I shared with the two of
• 18:54
  you earlier in the week
• 18:56
  that my percentile went
• 18:58
  from twelve to twenty,
• 19:00
  which was a huge jump for me.
• 19:02
  And and now I just I just
• 19:05
  want to now I've juiced up.
• 19:08
  Pardon the term to hit next
• 19:11
  year's open and try to get
• 19:12
  even higher on that percentile.
• 19:19
  Yeah, I mean,
• 19:20
  I enjoyed the Open with my community.
• 19:22
  I thought they had a great
• 19:25
  time with the workouts.
• 19:27
  I know you talked about, Jamie,
• 19:29
  that the second week wasn't
• 19:30
  as fun for a lot of your members.
• 19:32
  I think the members at my
• 19:35
  affiliate still enjoyed the
• 19:36
  workout and the challenge that it brought,
• 19:40
  whether it was a couple of
• 19:41
  people that struggled with
• 19:42
  the double-unders, some people struggled,
• 19:43
  obviously, with the gymnastics.
• 19:45
  for the most part, um, less people,
• 19:48
  I think with the barbell, uh,
• 19:49
  it was more gymnastics, um,
• 19:52
  that they would struggle with, but yeah,
• 19:54
  no, I thought that in terms of the,
• 19:59
  the events, like, like it,
• 20:00
  it was a party on my, on my, on my gym.
• 20:02
  Like it was, you know,
• 20:03
  everyone's wearing their,
• 20:04
  their colors and, um,
• 20:08
  Once the Open was done, I was like,
• 20:10
  this is just such a cool thing.
• 20:12
  It is so cool that these
• 20:14
  people at whatever age, whatever fitness,
• 20:18
  are just doing hard things
• 20:21
  to the best of their
• 20:22
  abilities and we're all
• 20:23
  just out there celebrating
• 20:24
  everyone's scores.
• 20:26
  It doesn't matter if they're
• 20:27
  just getting a burpee and
• 20:29
  we're just yelling, way to go,
• 20:30
  and just high-fiving.
• 20:33
  I wouldn't have this...
• 20:35
  in any other like sport, right?
• 20:37
  Like had I had I just
• 20:39
  transitioned from hockey
• 20:40
  and gone to a global gym
• 20:42
  and continued working out
• 20:43
  like I would have never
• 20:44
  discovered like this
• 20:45
  amazing community that we have.
• 20:48
  So just I was reflecting
• 20:49
  after and just being like,
• 20:50
  this is really cool.
• 20:52
  And that that's what the open is about.
• 20:54
  And yeah, I was I was happy with it.
• 20:56
  I was happy with the members
• 20:58
  and the support that we had there.
• 21:00
  It was great.
• 21:02
  Yeah.
• 21:03
  Our Friday night lights were awesome.
• 21:04
  Like,
• 21:05
  fifty-some people coming through the
• 21:07
  doors.
• 21:08
  And most would stick around
• 21:09
  and watch all the heats.
• 21:13
  It was good.
• 21:14
  But, you know, things could be better.
• 21:17
  I don't love the multiple
• 21:19
  barbells in an open setting.
• 21:22
  I mean, it's hard on affiliates.
• 21:23
  But I liked the workouts.
• 21:25
  I think it was a good test of fitness.
• 21:27
  I think it opened some of my
• 21:30
  members' eyes on fitness.
• 21:32
  things that they need to do,
• 21:33
  which is good.
• 21:33
  I mean, I get it.
• 21:34
  It's frustrating,
• 21:36
  but you also need to take a
• 21:37
  good hard look at your
• 21:38
  fitness and what you are
• 21:41
  not showing up for what you're avoiding,
• 21:42
  what you, I mean,
• 21:44
  just take some accountability.
• 21:45
  We, I,
• 21:48
  I'm looking forward to the community.
• 21:49
  We can't participate in the community cup,
• 21:51
  but we'll, like I said,
• 21:52
  we had like people sign up.
• 21:54
  They they'll get a level and
• 21:56
  we're going to run it as an
• 21:57
  in-house comp.
• 21:57
  So I'm just going to program the workouts.
• 21:59
  We'll all show up on a
• 22:00
  Saturday and kind of
• 22:01
  revisit that magic that we
• 22:03
  had on Friday nights and do
• 22:05
  all the workouts together.
• 22:06
  And it'll be fun.
• 22:07
  I'm excited.
• 22:08
  We have breaking news, breaking news.
• 22:12
  Larry young is thinking
• 22:13
  about doing cardio.
• 22:14
  Whoa, whoa, whoa.
• 22:16
  I know.
• 22:17
  I know that may be the
• 22:19
  biggest breaking news of the year.
• 22:22
  That's a good idea, Larry.
• 22:23
  Instead of asking for more
• 22:24
  barbells in the community cup,
• 22:26
  he's actually thinking
• 22:27
  about doing cardio for the community cup.
• 22:31
  Would you do the,
• 22:32
  your little in-house the
• 22:33
  week after the workouts are programmed.
• 22:35
  So you have more time to set
• 22:36
  up your actual competition
• 22:38
  with knowing what's there.
• 22:39
  Are you just assuming that.
• 22:40
  It sounds like it's like
• 22:41
  Monday through Sunday or whatever,
• 22:43
  like the night through the
• 22:45
  we'll do it that Saturday, the.
• 22:47
  So it'll come out the night out.
• 22:49
  I mean, it'll be a bit of a rush for me.
• 22:51
  Like I'll Monday,
• 22:52
  I'm gonna have to start
• 22:52
  like figuring it out and
• 22:54
  timing it and giving people,
• 22:56
  cause I'll probably run it
• 22:57
  like an in-house comp, um,
• 22:59
  you know, and do, like,
• 23:01
  workout one will be at, like, nine a.m.
• 23:03
  and run through a few heats, and then,
• 23:05
  like, eleven a.m.
• 23:06
  will be workout two,
• 23:07
  and then we'll crown the winner.
• 23:09
  Yeah.
• 23:10
  So, Lynn, I think we're getting it.
• 23:13
  So,
• 23:13
  Jamie is going to use the programmed
• 23:15
  events that CrossFit comes
• 23:16
  out with to use as their
• 23:18
  in-house competition.
• 23:20
  They are not an affiliate,
• 23:22
  so they are assigning the
• 23:24
  levels to their athletes themselves.
• 23:26
  But your athletes still
• 23:28
  signed up for the Open, right?
• 23:29
  Yes, they'll get levels.
• 23:30
  I'll have plenty of athletes
• 23:31
  who will have levels and
• 23:33
  they'll know what workout to do.
• 23:35
  I'm basically going to take
• 23:36
  the other people that want
• 23:37
  to do it and be like, all right, well,
• 23:38
  you finished very close to Johnny.
• 23:42
  So like you're going to do
• 23:43
  the same workout as Johnny today.
• 23:46
  do we know what what date is
• 23:47
  it again and it's in june
• 23:49
  early yeah june the day
• 23:52
  before well for me it's
• 23:53
  basically monday through
• 23:54
  sunday which is father's
• 23:55
  day we'll do it saturday
• 23:57
  the day before father's day
• 23:58
  so is it the same weekend
• 24:00
  as the last chance of
• 24:02
  qualifier I'm telling you I
• 24:03
  think it's the same thing I
• 24:05
  think it is the last chance
• 24:07
  qualifier I think it is interesting uh
• 24:14
  I don't know why they're doing that still.
• 24:16
  They haven't given any info.
• 24:20
  It's going to be cool for us
• 24:21
  as well that they're doing
• 24:23
  an in-house comp as well.
• 24:24
  That's awesome, Craig.
• 24:24
  I love that.
• 24:27
  There is stuff out about the
• 24:28
  Community Cup.
• 24:30
  Um,
• 24:30
  you have to go kind of look for it
• 24:31
  right now.
• 24:32
  You can actually,
• 24:33
  if you know your percentile,
• 24:33
  you can go look and see
• 24:34
  what your level is.
• 24:36
  Right.
• 24:36
  Um,
• 24:37
  I shared that earlier in the week on
• 24:38
  one of the lunch with the Clydesdales.
• 24:41
  Um,
• 24:42
  and you can find out what your level is.
• 24:44
  It does change depending on
• 24:46
  your age group though.
• 24:47
  Right.
• 24:48
  So,
• 24:48
  and I didn't realize that I thought I
• 24:50
  was going to be a level two
• 24:53
  and now I'm actually like,
• 24:54
  I could be anything from a
• 24:55
  one to a five in the range that I'm in.
• 24:58
  Uh, which is crazy.
• 25:00
  Um,
• 25:01
  but they're emailing those out like end
• 25:03
  of April or something.
• 25:04
  I said, like that,
• 25:06
  that should be finalized
• 25:07
  and people get notified of
• 25:09
  their level or it'll show up in your app.
• 25:12
  But once you get your level at you,
• 25:14
  then CrossFit will put out
• 25:16
  workouts for that week.
• 25:19
  let's call it father's day
• 25:20
  week you will get the
• 25:21
  workout you have all week
• 25:22
  to do all of the workouts
• 25:24
  that are out correct and
• 25:25
  then you submit them
• 25:26
  through the week and you
• 25:27
  will compete against other
• 25:29
  people with your same level
• 25:33
  and in your age group yeah
• 25:35
  because one thing I learned
• 25:36
  this year is like fifty
• 25:38
  five plus is not factored into any of the
• 25:42
  No more stuff because your
• 25:44
  weight for different,
• 25:45
  all that kind of stuff is different.
• 25:46
  So you don't even factor
• 25:47
  into the equations of
• 25:49
  percentiles or any of that stuff.
• 25:52
  Correct.
• 25:52
  So last year I got a
• 25:54
  percentile for overall and
• 25:56
  I got a percentile for
• 25:57
  fifty to fifty four.
• 25:59
  Yep.
• 26:00
  I no longer get an overall
• 26:01
  because we don't we are not
• 26:03
  factored into that equation anymore.
• 26:07
  Yep.
• 26:09
  So, you know, you get older,
• 26:11
  you learn new stuff.
• 26:12
  But it makes sense because
• 26:14
  they're different workouts,
• 26:15
  so you can't really compare the scores.
• 26:18
  I don't even think that
• 26:19
  there would be an accurate way to do it.
• 26:21
  Yeah, I'm okay with it.
• 26:24
  It was something I just
• 26:25
  didn't know until I experienced it.
• 26:28
  Did you see that they're –
• 26:30
  so the in-house – or the
• 26:32
  Community Cup programming
• 26:35
  is going to get programmed by –
• 26:39
  like people are submitting
• 26:40
  workouts and it's going to get picked.
• 26:42
  No.
• 26:43
  Yeah.
• 26:43
  Yeah.
• 26:44
  Probably.
• 26:44
  That's probably who will submit.
• 26:46
  The last chance qualifier
• 26:47
  will be like affiliate
• 26:48
  owners are supposed to send
• 26:50
  in workouts and then
• 26:51
  they're going to pick the
• 26:52
  top three that they like.
• 26:54
  And that's going to be the community cup.
• 26:57
  I hate dogging on mayhem
• 26:58
  because I love Rich.
• 27:00
  Rich is my favorite male
• 27:02
  CrossFitter of all time.
• 27:04
  And every time I've seen him
• 27:06
  in person and talked to him,
• 27:06
  he's been nothing but the kindest.
• 27:09
  But yeah,
• 27:11
  they are running a lot of this
• 27:13
  year's show.
• 27:16
  Any news on the service open, service cup?
• 27:21
  I have not heard anything on that.
• 27:27
  I do think it's kind of cool
• 27:29
  that like Boz is doing
• 27:30
  these videos about what to expect.
• 27:34
  I think that is a step
• 27:36
  forward as we kind of look
• 27:38
  forward to what's coming up is, hey,
• 27:41
  in the in-person semis or
• 27:42
  in affiliate semis,
• 27:44
  these are the things you will expect.
• 27:47
  These are the things that
• 27:48
  your judge should expect.
• 27:51
  I still don't understand the
• 27:53
  use of the head judge thingy.
• 27:56
  I took the advanced judges course.
• 27:59
  It has nothing to do with
• 28:01
  the in-person semifinals.
• 28:03
  It's good if you're running
• 28:04
  an event like Waterpalooza
• 28:06
  or a semifinal in person
• 28:08
  and you get to see what the
• 28:09
  role of the head judge is
• 28:10
  versus the on-the-floor
• 28:12
  judge and everything.
• 28:13
  and then the people doing
• 28:15
  different things.
• 28:16
  But in terms of the value
• 28:19
  it's gonna bring to the affiliate, like,
• 28:21
  I just think it's just adding more,
• 28:23
  like it's making it more
• 28:24
  difficult for people to be
• 28:26
  needing all of these people
• 28:28
  Like I work,
• 28:29
  like I work full time and I
• 28:30
  need to like do my workouts
• 28:31
  at certain times.
• 28:32
  And I need to make sure that
• 28:33
  like two people are there.
• 28:34
  Like it's already sometimes
• 28:35
  hard to just get the one, like, you know,
• 28:38
  like my, I'll get my, my, um,
• 28:40
  affiliate owner coach that
• 28:42
  he'll always do it.
• 28:43
  But like to get someone else to need their,
• 28:45
  like their judges stuff,
• 28:47
  like it's just annoying.
• 28:49
  So,
• 28:50
  and I didn't take any of the new courses,
• 28:52
  but the only way I see that
• 28:54
  being something that makes sense.
• 28:56
  And again,
• 28:56
  it's one of these things where I
• 28:58
  think it was a knee jerk reaction.
• 29:00
  Um,
• 29:01
  and they didn't think about it for all
• 29:02
  affiliates, right?
• 29:03
  If I'm CrossFit Invictus or
• 29:04
  I'm CrossFit Mayhem,
• 29:06
  and I'm running a heat of
• 29:07
  eight people with eight different judges,
• 29:09
  it's probably a good idea
• 29:10
  to have a head judge making
• 29:12
  sure that those eight are
• 29:13
  being consistent.
• 29:14
  Sure.
• 29:18
  But if you're in a small
• 29:19
  affiliate that's running
• 29:21
  like one person and you do
• 29:22
  them in open gyms not to
• 29:24
  interfere with classes and you do blah,
• 29:26
  blah, blah,
• 29:27
  then it's really hard to
• 29:28
  coordinate all that stuff.
• 29:30
  But I wish that the advanced
• 29:32
  course was more about gray reps.
• 29:36
  It was a little bit.
• 29:37
  And I felt like it talked
• 29:38
  about camera setup, turning it landscape.
• 29:42
  Like there was things in
• 29:43
  there that I thought needed
• 29:44
  to be gone over for, for doing in,
• 29:50
  in affiliate semis.
• 29:52
  I didn't feel like I like learned too,
• 29:54
  too much, but I feel like most of it,
• 29:56
  maybe as a competitor, you kind of know,
• 29:58
  I don't know.
• 30:00
  Um,
• 30:02
  Larry Young, nine ninety nine.
• 30:03
  Thank you so much.
• 30:05
  Local affiliates here
• 30:06
  offered a punch card type
• 30:07
  deal to do the open.
• 30:09
  Just a few bucks to drop in
• 30:11
  for an open grit and grace.
• 30:12
  CrossFit thought this was a
• 30:13
  super cool idea.
• 30:14
  Awesome.
• 30:14
  Yeah.
• 30:16
  Anything to make it more
• 30:17
  accessible for anybody who
• 30:18
  wants to try the open,
• 30:20
  I think is a cool thing.
• 30:22
  Or if you're a garage,
• 30:23
  a garage gym person who wants to.
• 30:26
  And I hope they do that for
• 30:27
  the Community Cup.
• 30:29
  because then they can come
• 30:31
  back and do the community
• 30:32
  cup in the affiliate as well.
• 30:34
  Instead of having to set up
• 30:36
  a bunch of stuff in their
• 30:36
  garage to video it or so on and so forth.
• 30:40
  So I hope so.
• 30:44
  I, I just feel like this is,
• 30:47
  I don't think it's going to
• 30:48
  accomplish anything that
• 30:50
  they hoped to accomplish.
• 30:51
  I,
• 30:52
  I think it's putting undue pressure on
• 30:55
  like, especially rural athletes to,
• 30:59
  And you're not going to get,
• 31:00
  and it sounds like they're
• 31:01
  going to just trust the,
• 31:05
  it's like they're saying
• 31:06
  they're going to do these,
• 31:07
  the live video review and
• 31:09
  it's going to be open,
• 31:10
  but they're not like
• 31:11
  everything they've said is
• 31:13
  the whole point of this,
• 31:14
  of having two judges on the
• 31:15
  floor is they're going to
• 31:16
  default to the judges that
• 31:17
  were on the floor.
• 31:20
  If you have like too many thumbs down,
• 31:21
  then they'll look at the
• 31:22
  video type thing.
• 31:24
  Like how far,
• 31:25
  how far down will they
• 31:26
  actually look at that?
• 31:27
  And then are you just
• 31:27
  getting thumbs up from your
• 31:28
  friends that took the
• 31:29
  judges course that you're like,
• 31:30
  go vote on mine.
• 31:31
  Good.
• 31:31
  Go vote on mine.
• 31:32
  Good.
• 31:33
  Like, cause you're going to get that.
• 31:35
  Yeah.
• 31:35
  But people just vote.
• 31:36
  No vote bad for literally.
• 31:40
  I don't even know what,
• 31:40
  like I have like eight nose
• 31:42
  on one of my workouts.
• 31:43
  That is like, go watch it, Scott.
• 31:47
  I've been meaning to talk to
• 31:48
  you about that.
• 31:48
  I, I'm.
• 31:51
  I'm just kidding.
• 31:52
  I'm sure you watched the video.
• 31:53
  So you're probably like, it's, if that is,
• 31:57
  if those are the people
• 31:58
  just click getting on and clicking, Nope.
• 32:00
  Like this is going to be a disaster.
• 32:04
  I don't even know what
• 32:04
  people are watching.
• 32:07
  Some people are semis,
• 32:09
  not for the community cup.
• 32:11
  Correct.
• 32:11
  So just to be clear.
• 32:14
  Yeah.
• 32:15
  The thing is,
• 32:17
  like you're making it really
• 32:18
  hard on people not a part
• 32:19
  of affiliate like I know
• 32:21
  you're saying carolyn it's
• 32:22
  gonna be hard on you
• 32:22
  because you find gotta find
• 32:23
  two people not only do I
• 32:24
  have to get two people to
• 32:25
  come with me I gotta travel
• 32:27
  somewhere and like I
• 32:30
  already feel like I already
• 32:32
  have extra scrutiny all the
• 32:33
  time so now like your
• 32:36
  regular app like you think
• 32:38
  danny spiegel's gonna get
• 32:39
  more just because two
• 32:40
  people are watching or
• 32:40
  she's actually gonna get no
• 32:41
  reps no they're gonna still
• 32:44
  Cheer her along and just
• 32:46
  count her reps and move along.
• 32:48
  But let's be fair.
• 32:50
  She puts her video up for public scrutiny.
• 32:53
  She's going to get hammered
• 32:54
  because of her reputation
• 32:57
  of what's happened over the
• 32:58
  last two years.
• 33:00
  Yeah, but it depends on if they're like,
• 33:03
  they review it and they're like, well,
• 33:04
  we're going to go with the
• 33:06
  judge on the floor.
• 33:07
  We trust them that those
• 33:08
  were good in real time.
• 33:09
  As long as they look at it though and say,
• 33:11
  Hey,
• 33:12
  we're going to go with the judge on
• 33:13
  the floor.
• 33:13
  I'm cool with that.
• 33:22
  I'm just going to counter
• 33:22
  what you say a little bit.
• 33:23
  I had,
• 33:24
  we talked about this year's open
• 33:26
  being fun and things that
• 33:27
  went really well and they
• 33:29
  have made baby steps in the
• 33:31
  right direction.
• 33:33
  That is the first time in
• 33:34
  years that they are making
• 33:36
  steps in the right direction.
• 33:39
  Yeah,
• 33:39
  this might be clunky when we get to
• 33:41
  semis and all the extra
• 33:43
  stuff and having to do it
• 33:44
  in an affiliate and all of that.
• 33:48
  Hopefully they self-correct
• 33:49
  that at some point and
• 33:51
  realize that maybe the
• 33:52
  pendulum swung too far to one side.
• 33:56
  But at least this year,
• 33:59
  CrossFit has made some
• 34:00
  steps in the right direction.
• 34:03
  like these boss videos that are going out,
• 34:06
  they never did that in the
• 34:07
  past in the last five years,
• 34:10
  that stuff they did back in
• 34:11
  twelve and thirteen and fourteen.
• 34:15
  I just think it's.
• 34:17
  We have to give them credit
• 34:18
  for the steps they have taken.
• 34:22
  yeah I'm I'm happy for the
• 34:24
  video review we've been
• 34:25
  asking for that like it
• 34:26
  should be public a hundred
• 34:27
  percent I just I don't know
• 34:29
  what the benefit of is
• 34:30
  making people go to
• 34:32
  affiliates to do this like
• 34:33
  if we're gonna have two l
• 34:36
  one judges with the
• 34:36
  advanced course does it
• 34:38
  shouldn't matter so on the
• 34:41
  open I could go to videos
• 34:43
  and vote yes or no yeah
• 34:45
  because you have the regular ten dollar
• 34:47
  Right, but I didn't have the advanced.
• 34:48
  No, I know.
• 34:49
  So semis,
• 34:50
  it's going to cut that down to
• 34:51
  only people that spent that
• 34:53
  extra money to do that.
• 34:54
  And hopefully it'll clean up some of the,
• 34:56
  hey, you're my friend, do this.
• 34:58
  Hey, you're my friend, do that.
• 35:01
  So it's only the ones with
• 35:02
  the advanced that can vote.
• 35:04
  Correct.
• 35:05
  Gotcha.
• 35:07
  And you have to put in your
• 35:07
  credentials to then be able to vote.
• 35:12
  Your credentials are always on there.
• 35:13
  You're logged in when you vote, so...
• 35:16
  I wonder if it was more for
• 35:18
  the training camps and
• 35:19
  non-athletes get the short
• 35:20
  end of the stick.
• 35:21
  Also,
• 35:22
  I think it puts pressure on the
• 35:22
  people judging to do better.
• 35:25
  I hope so.
• 35:29
  Yeah.
• 35:29
  George Turner had the same
• 35:30
  thing on one of his videos
• 35:31
  when he made his YouTube public.
• 35:33
  One of the judges said it was the clock.
• 35:37
  And I think he had like we
• 35:38
  time or one of those like running it,
• 35:42
  whatever.
• 35:42
  I don't know.
• 35:44
  um there's a lot of stuff
• 35:45
  here your crossfeed id is
• 35:47
  linked to your vote
• 35:47
  crossfit knows who voted
• 35:48
  and how there's a rule that
• 35:50
  you can be banned from
• 35:51
  being a judge in the future
• 35:52
  if crossfit decides you're
• 35:54
  abusing the crowd votes
• 35:58
  that's an interesting um
• 36:03
  the clock has minutes
• 36:04
  seconds and milliseconds he
• 36:06
  finished ten fifty two
• 36:08
  judge was like because of
• 36:09
  the milliseconds it should
• 36:10
  be ten fifty three
• 36:13
  I don't think you normally round out.
• 36:14
  I think you, yeah.
• 36:15
  If it's still, if it's technically nine,
• 36:18
  people will still say.
• 36:19
  Yeah.
• 36:20
  As long as it didn't switch.
• 36:22
  Right.
• 36:24
  If there's a stopwatch on
• 36:25
  the floor in person,
• 36:26
  then they use the milliseconds,
• 36:27
  but online you just go by
• 36:30
  what time your rep was completed at.
• 36:32
  And if the number was still that number.
• 36:35
  vice says shots fired at
• 36:36
  danny I'm not trying to
• 36:39
  pick on danny just she's a
• 36:40
  recognizable one that like
• 36:41
  killer so I'm just like if
• 36:43
  you're thinking about
• 36:44
  somebody maybe questioning
• 36:45
  a squat that's a it's okay
• 36:49
  danny I've got your back
• 36:54
  this has been a debate with
• 36:55
  jamie and I for two years now so
• 36:59
  um sarah cooper because it's
• 37:01
  crossfit community cup they
• 37:02
  want to push people into
• 37:02
  crossfit affiliate makes
• 37:03
  sense yes but we're talking
• 37:05
  about two different things
• 37:06
  right that's what's getting
• 37:07
  confusing community cup
• 37:09
  makes all the sense in the
• 37:09
  world for going into an
• 37:11
  affiliate yeah um but the
• 37:14
  semi-finals are required to
• 37:15
  be an affiliate as well
• 37:18
  Yeah,
• 37:19
  I'm not mad that my athletes can't
• 37:21
  participate in the Community Cup.
• 37:22
  Like, I'm not mad about that.
• 37:24
  That's fine.
• 37:24
  We're not an affiliate.
• 37:25
  We're not a part of the community.
• 37:27
  We'll do it on our own.
• 37:28
  We still paid a bunch of
• 37:30
  money to them to get their levels.
• 37:35
  But if you're posting your
• 37:36
  video publicly in the semifinal,
• 37:38
  that's where you're saying, like,
• 37:39
  it shouldn't really matter.
• 37:40
  Everyone's video is public, like...
• 37:42
  Yeah.
• 37:43
  And I,
• 37:43
  I'm still gonna have two L one
• 37:45
  judges with the advanced course,
• 37:47
  just like everyone else.
• 37:50
  Like I'm not,
• 37:51
  I'm not trying to do anything
• 37:53
  different there,
• 37:54
  but it shouldn't necessarily be hard.
• 37:55
  Like I got probably have to
• 37:57
  travel two hours and do I
• 37:59
  wanna do that car ride
• 38:00
  twice a day and sleep in my own bed?
• 38:02
  Do I wanna get a hotel?
• 38:03
  Like this just, it's just unnecessary.
• 38:08
  Yeah.
• 38:10
  I think, yeah.
• 38:13
  Again,
• 38:13
  we're going to talk about something
• 38:14
  later in the show about the
• 38:15
  sale and maybe that like
• 38:17
  all that everything could be changed in,
• 38:20
  in three hundred sixty five days.
• 38:21
  So you're telling Sarah,
• 38:22
  you're telling me that
• 38:23
  nobody who goes to the
• 38:24
  CrossFit Games should be
• 38:25
  allowed to be unaffiliated.
• 38:28
  Remember?
• 38:29
  Like, that's ridiculous.
• 38:31
  We want the best that are competing.
• 38:33
  Like, the sport-wise, it's different,
• 38:35
  right?
• 38:35
  Like,
• 38:35
  it's all about... This isn't the
• 38:37
  Community Cup.
• 38:37
  This is the CrossFit Games,
• 38:38
  and you're supposed to want anybody.
• 38:40
  You're supposed to want
• 38:41
  someone from the NFL to
• 38:42
  challenge and want a spot
• 38:43
  and come take the floor.
• 38:44
  Well, and more importantly,
• 38:47
  three years ago, we're touting,
• 38:49
  we can do it in our garage.
• 38:50
  We can be garage athletes, blah, blah,
• 38:52
  blah.
• 38:53
  Well,
• 38:53
  those garage athletes may now be good
• 38:55
  enough to make...
• 38:56
  a semifinal or the games and
• 38:58
  they should be given that opportunity.
• 39:00
  We've changed the goalpost
• 39:02
  like we do every year in CrossFit.
• 39:05
  And so people go down one path,
• 39:07
  goalpost changed and they
• 39:09
  have to adjust and so on and so forth.
• 39:12
  But again,
• 39:14
  great baby steps this year from CrossFit.
• 39:16
  We are moving in a direction
• 39:18
  that seems to make sense.
• 39:20
  Now we're going to sell and
• 39:21
  who the hell knows what
• 39:22
  happens after that.
• 39:23
  But for now,
• 39:29
  So, um,
• 39:33
  do you think the underlying motive
• 39:35
  is to push gyms to
• 39:36
  affiliate or to push
• 39:37
  athletes to train in affiliates?
• 39:39
  I think it's for more gyms to affiliate.
• 39:41
  Yeah.
• 39:42
  I think that is the push,
• 39:44
  but I don't think that's
• 39:45
  what's going to happen.
• 39:52
  Um, da, da, da, da, da.
• 39:59
  To me, they could do the same thing.
• 40:02
  Meet criteria, pay a small fee,
• 40:03
  if not affiliated.
• 40:05
  That's an idea.
• 40:06
  I mean, my people have four coaches.
• 40:09
  I have two L-twos, three L-ones.
• 40:12
  It's not like we haven't put
• 40:14
  money into the space.
• 40:14
  We pay for a level method affiliation.
• 40:20
  What about the people that
• 40:21
  want to do their semifinals
• 40:22
  at their own gym?
• 40:23
  Yeah, they just pay a small little fee.
• 40:25
  That would work.
• 40:26
  Instead of paying fifty
• 40:27
  bucks for the semifinals, it's,
• 40:29
  I don't know, seventy bucks,
• 40:31
  but you get to stay at your own gym.
• 40:32
  I feel like you would do that.
• 40:35
  Yeah.
• 40:35
  Just to stay at your own gym,
• 40:37
  have your own bar.
• 40:38
  I have four people.
• 40:39
  If I had to pay like, I mean, honestly,
• 40:41
  if I had to pay like two
• 40:43
  hundred bucks to be a semifinal location,
• 40:47
  I would do it.
• 40:49
  That could be good revenue for them.
• 40:51
  Could be.
• 40:52
  And then,
• 40:52
  and then you just would like be
• 40:54
  able to advertise that.
• 40:55
  Like we're,
• 40:56
  we have plenty of L one judges
• 40:58
  with the advanced course.
• 41:00
  We have five athletes that
• 41:01
  are going to be doing it.
• 41:02
  Come join up, like come here.
• 41:05
  You have people to work out alongside.
• 41:07
  And then maybe that attracts
• 41:08
  more athletes to your gym
• 41:10
  and then you can afford the affiliation.
• 41:10
  Yeah.
• 41:11
  That would be nice.
• 41:13
  There you go.
• 41:17
  Yeah.
• 41:17
  Larry, I like your idea.
• 41:21
  Larry's doing cardio and
• 41:23
  he's agreeing with Jamie on
• 41:24
  the second issue.
• 41:25
  Love it.
• 41:26
  Man.
• 41:26
  I don't know if you guys saw,
• 41:31
  but Larry got his,
• 41:32
  he won a coffee mug from us.
• 41:34
  He took it to church this morning.
• 41:36
  So he got some religion and
• 41:38
  now he's agreeing with
• 41:38
  everything and how to do stuff.
• 41:40
  That tracks.
• 41:46
  Yeah.
• 41:47
  Um, do, do, do, do.
• 41:49
  is age groups I mean really
• 41:50
  a hundred bucks that's
• 41:51
  insane age group semis is a
• 41:54
  hundred bucks this year is
• 41:55
  that real uh alyssa would
• 41:58
  know normally they charge
• 42:00
  for like when you qualify
• 42:03
  and then you're going to
• 42:04
  the comp a hundred bucks
• 42:05
  for the in affiliate semis
• 42:08
  and I can't even do it at
• 42:09
  my own gym that's freaking
• 42:10
  great that's ridiculous uh
• 42:14
  kenneth commented on dave's
• 42:15
  week in review
• 42:18
  um lana great idea jamie who
• 42:20
  was my idea um carolyn
• 42:22
  carolyn has a direct route
• 42:24
  we'll let her miss miss
• 42:28
  demo team there she has all
• 42:31
  the connections yeah um
• 42:37
  Uh, so next up we have the age group semis,
• 42:39
  which we've talked about a little bit.
• 42:41
  You two will be going into that.
• 42:44
  Um,
• 42:44
  and then we have the mayhem classic
• 42:47
  both the same weekend.
• 42:49
  Yes.
• 42:51
  We've talked about how that
• 42:52
  kind of missing a Mark as well,
• 42:55
  having mayhem and the in
• 42:57
  affiliate age group semis
• 42:59
  on the same weekend.
• 43:01
  And I can't believe that
• 43:02
  mayhem is going to,
• 43:04
  pull this off with all of
• 43:05
  their mayhem athletes that
• 43:07
  they generally allow to
• 43:08
  come to mayhem to do the semis.
• 43:11
  Won't be able to do that
• 43:12
  this year because of the mayhem classic.
• 43:16
  Yeah.
• 43:17
  I'm curious where are they
• 43:19
  just taking them all to the barn?
• 43:20
  Like they have an affiliate though.
• 43:25
  I think it is didn't they
• 43:27
  something well a lot of
• 43:28
  times like rich did his
• 43:29
  workouts in the in his barn
• 43:31
  and he would call it
• 43:32
  crossfit mayhem but that's
• 43:33
  a different location I
• 43:34
  don't think that that's
• 43:35
  really crossfit mayhem good
• 43:36
  point and he's always said
• 43:38
  like crossfit mayhem and
• 43:39
  how many workouts have
• 43:40
  people done in the barn
• 43:41
  barn and said crossfit
• 43:42
  mayhem and it's not there
• 43:43
  it's at uh it's like what's
• 43:45
  the difference between that
• 43:46
  and a garage it's a garage
• 43:47
  unless it's affiliated
• 43:49
  same argument is the shred
• 43:50
  shed and correct that one
• 43:52
  is so I'm just I don't know
• 43:56
  that their barn is actually
• 43:58
  an affiliate they wouldn't
• 44:01
  have the exact same name
• 44:03
  that is a good question
• 44:04
  we're gonna have to watch
• 44:05
  where these uh videos come
• 44:07
  out of because yeah they
• 44:08
  had a ton of people age group wise
• 44:14
  Maybe in the small little area,
• 44:15
  like the new competitors area,
• 44:17
  but I feel like they'll be
• 44:18
  using that for the warm-up
• 44:19
  area and all of that.
• 44:22
  Mayhem will not be open to their members.
• 44:29
  I don't know.
• 44:29
  That's a good question, Carolyn.
• 44:31
  I'm very curious where
• 44:32
  they're all going to be
• 44:33
  completing those workouts.
• 44:34
  That's
• 44:35
  But in the past years, in the past years,
• 44:38
  they have not publicly put
• 44:39
  their video out there.
• 44:40
  Cause if you don't do it on an affiliate,
• 44:42
  you're supposed to post your video.
• 44:44
  And I had this conversation
• 44:45
  with Lex a couple of years
• 44:46
  ago and I'm like,
• 44:47
  look at all of the mayhem
• 44:48
  athletes doing it in the barn,
• 44:49
  but then don't post their videos.
• 44:50
  And that's, I mean, I don't know,
• 44:52
  but they're not at CrossFit
• 44:53
  mayhem when they're doing it there.
• 44:56
  So.
• 44:57
  That just brought me back to
• 44:58
  a conversation I had with
• 44:59
  Lex like years ago because
• 45:01
  we were talking about why
• 45:02
  their videos aren't public
• 45:03
  if they're not doing it at
• 45:04
  the actual place.
• 45:06
  Yeah.
• 45:06
  Alyssa Stuckey follows up.
• 45:08
  Yes, unfortunately, it's true.
• 45:10
  It's in the rule book for
• 45:11
  this year as a hundred
• 45:12
  dollar registration fee.
• 45:16
  Damn.
• 45:16
  It's expensive in Canadian dollars.
• 45:18
  So I'm going to say Fergie's
• 45:19
  question for when we do the
• 45:20
  Q&A with you guys in just a
• 45:22
  couple minutes.
• 45:25
  But yeah,
• 45:25
  so we have both those things going on.
• 45:27
  You guys are a part of the age group.
• 45:29
  The Mayhem Classic has been
• 45:31
  advertising constant lineup changes.
• 45:34
  I know.
• 45:38
  Do you think that that's due
• 45:39
  to the competition at the event?
• 45:42
  Do you think it's due to
• 45:44
  everything else going on that weekend?
• 45:47
  Or do you think it's just, hey,
• 45:49
  we signed up and realized
• 45:51
  I'm going to take a
• 45:51
  different path for my season?
• 45:56
  I think people didn't want to say no.
• 45:58
  They want to say yes.
• 45:59
  And then just, just so they're, they,
• 46:01
  you know,
• 46:01
  they have an option to kind of
• 46:02
  back out as they see the names pop up.
• 46:04
  Maybe.
• 46:04
  I don't know.
• 46:08
  A lot of changes.
• 46:09
  I mean,
• 46:09
  I feel like it's mostly been injuries.
• 46:15
  Although it's yeah,
• 46:16
  I know because you think I
• 46:18
  can't imagine like all
• 46:19
  those are injuries.
• 46:20
  I don't know.
• 46:24
  When it was first announced,
• 46:25
  it was all like,
• 46:26
  all these games athletes are coming in.
• 46:29
  Now we're deep into the
• 46:31
  semifinal athletes.
• 46:34
  I think people just are
• 46:35
  going to take different paths.
• 46:36
  They're like, okay, that's not the one.
• 46:37
  Let me go to another one.
• 46:40
  Lynn said they announced it
• 46:41
  too soon before people had
• 46:42
  even figured out their seasons.
• 46:44
  I completely agree.
• 46:45
  I actually think Rich...
• 46:47
  commented on that in one of
• 46:49
  their podcasts and like he
• 46:51
  thought like rethought like
• 46:53
  yeah we probably should
• 46:54
  have like like I don't
• 46:57
  think he should be
• 46:57
  competing there if you
• 47:00
  aren't in the top one
• 47:01
  percent and you're or
• 47:02
  you're not signed up if you
• 47:03
  didn't like you shouldn't
• 47:04
  even be doing it
• 47:06
  I agree with that too,
• 47:07
  because I like as hard as,
• 47:08
  as it is to find people,
• 47:10
  find people like there's
• 47:12
  thousands of athletes.
• 47:13
  Your field is already only.
• 47:15
  If you're saying that this,
• 47:17
  this athlete can't go
• 47:18
  because they're not in the one percent,
• 47:19
  this athlete can't like get rid of those.
• 47:21
  Like now you have a field of like.
• 47:23
  Eighteen, seventeen people,
• 47:25
  not even like your chances are.
• 47:27
  I mean,
• 47:28
  I mean really your trends aren't
• 47:29
  that great at mayhem, but like.
• 47:32
  you compare that to other
• 47:33
  semi-finals of I don't know
• 47:35
  thirty people um like yeah
• 47:41
  yeah and I think it makes
• 47:43
  it confusing one it is the
• 47:45
  first event of the year it
• 47:47
  should be real simple you
• 47:48
  place first or second you go to the games
• 47:51
  But it's not.
• 47:52
  It's not going to be that
• 47:52
  way because you have Paige
• 47:53
  Powers who did not finish
• 47:56
  in the top one percent.
• 47:57
  You have Guy.
• 47:58
  You have other people there
• 48:00
  that are not competing.
• 48:01
  So now it could be, couldn't be.
• 48:04
  We don't know yet.
• 48:07
  So it's going to be an interesting.
• 48:09
  It just means that there's
• 48:11
  more explanation as to who
• 48:12
  gets their way to the games.
• 48:19
  Um, Lynn also says also,
• 48:20
  I think it's a lot of
• 48:21
  people figuring out they
• 48:22
  might actually crush the
• 48:23
  online qualifiers.
• 48:25
  Like for Dallin,
• 48:25
  he's literally a sure bet right now.
• 48:27
  If he does online, I think,
• 48:28
  I think Dallin looked at
• 48:29
  where he was on week one of
• 48:31
  the open crushing it.
• 48:33
  And he's like, you know what?
• 48:34
  I don't need to go to this comp right now.
• 48:37
  I will make it through the
• 48:38
  online process no matter what.
• 48:40
  And I'll focus on the WFP comp.
• 48:42
  That's right after I feel,
• 48:44
  I feel like that's,
• 48:45
  and he may have a little
• 48:46
  bit of something that's going on,
• 48:47
  but like not,
• 48:50
  I don't think it's big
• 48:51
  enough to the point where
• 48:52
  he wouldn't have been able to go there.
• 48:57
  It's like nepotism.
• 48:58
  It is like nepotism.
• 48:59
  Did he announce not going
• 49:02
  after Heavy Isabel was announced?
• 49:07
  I don't know.
• 49:08
  I don't think it was.
• 49:09
  No, I think it was before.
• 49:10
  He was one of the first to pull out.
• 49:14
  I think it was right after
• 49:15
  the first open workout when
• 49:16
  he crushed it.
• 49:18
  He crushed it.
• 49:24
  so um I think I and you guys
• 49:27
  the comments are coming in
• 49:28
  so fast I can't keep up
• 49:29
  anymore um so yeah so we we
• 49:34
  will that's in two weeks
• 49:36
  guys so we will be here
• 49:38
  live updating stuff from
• 49:40
  those events we will we got
• 49:43
  our own here like here in
• 49:44
  my basement okay stuff um
• 49:50
  You guys will be doing semis,
• 49:51
  so we'll get to hear how that has gone.
• 49:54
  It should be a fun weekend
• 49:59
  to keep up with.
• 50:00
  I'm not looking forward to it.
• 50:02
  We get home that Monday
• 50:05
  after being gone for a week.
• 50:06
  I don't even know if I'm
• 50:07
  going to be able to train all week.
• 50:11
  Then I got to figure out
• 50:13
  where I'm even doing these.
• 50:17
  The last thing I want to do
• 50:18
  is more traveling.
• 50:19
  You'll be fine.
• 50:20
  We'll see.
• 50:21
  We'll see what the workouts are.
• 50:27
  So there's that.
• 50:27
  So now we're going to open
• 50:28
  it up for questions for our
• 50:31
  two champs and elite athletes.
• 50:35
  We're going to give you guys
• 50:36
  ten to fifteen minutes to
• 50:38
  just ask whatever question
• 50:40
  you want of Carolyn and Jamie.
• 50:43
  either about the open or
• 50:45
  about anything else going
• 50:46
  on it can be crossfit
• 50:47
  related it doesn't have to
• 50:48
  be but I'm going to go back
• 50:50
  and grab um fergie's that I
• 50:53
  liked and posed to them if
• 50:57
  I can find it in this mess
• 51:00
  okay so fergie talks about
• 51:03
  rx was a disappointment
• 51:05
  Jumping pull ups and scaled
• 51:06
  wall walks are not RX movements.
• 51:08
  It just caused a massive log
• 51:10
  jam on the leaderboard that
• 51:11
  bar muscle ups would have solved.
• 51:15
  I am an RX fifty five plus athlete.
• 51:20
  And even though it would
• 51:21
  have made it so I couldn't do it, RX,
• 51:23
  I completely agree with you.
• 51:25
  But I want to hear what
• 51:27
  these elite athletes think,
• 51:29
  because while it was fun for me to say,
• 51:31
  hey, I did it, RX,
• 51:32
  I got to do this and that.
• 51:35
  You guys know how it affects
• 51:36
  a leaderboard and how
• 51:38
  frustrating that could be.
• 51:44
  I don't think I actually
• 51:45
  think it would have been
• 51:46
  more of a log jam if they
• 51:47
  would have done bar muscle
• 51:48
  ups for the fifty five plus.
• 51:49
  I actually think that would
• 51:51
  have been worse for that bracket.
• 51:52
  Maybe not.
• 51:53
  And this is the problem.
• 51:53
  They probably and I know it's a pain,
• 51:56
  but they probably need to
• 51:57
  do a fifty five plus scale
• 51:59
  and then a sixty five plus scale.
• 52:01
  Because if you would add bar
• 52:02
  muscle ups at sixty five plus,
• 52:04
  you would have had a bunch
• 52:05
  of you would have.
• 52:06
  they would have had to have
• 52:07
  a tiebreaker or you would
• 52:09
  have had a bunch of people not get them.
• 52:10
  So the way it was written
• 52:11
  for like sixty five plus,
• 52:13
  I think was perfect for that workout.
• 52:15
  I absolutely agree.
• 52:16
  Scaled water walks was a
• 52:17
  joke for all for all of the age groups.
• 52:20
  That was a joke.
• 52:20
  Carolyn, do you think the top two hundred,
• 52:29
  like if you can't make it
• 52:30
  in the top two hundred,
• 52:31
  like you have massive holes in.
• 52:34
  Like,
• 52:34
  I still think the people that should
• 52:37
  be there are going to be there.
• 52:39
  And then you're going to
• 52:40
  test what you need to test
• 52:41
  in the semifinals.
• 52:43
  Yeah.
• 52:44
  Yes.
• 52:45
  If you can't make the top two hundred,
• 52:48
  you like I'm sorry,
• 52:49
  but like you shouldn't.
• 52:50
  You shouldn't.
• 52:51
  You're not fit enough.
• 52:51
  You haven't got them.
• 52:52
  You haven't.
• 52:54
  Even if it's scaled wall walks,
• 52:55
  jumping like if you can't
• 52:56
  make the top two hundred of
• 52:58
  your age group,
• 52:59
  you have massive
• 53:00
  deficiencies in your fitness.
• 53:01
  Yeah.
• 53:02
  You can test all of the
• 53:03
  regular stuff or more
• 53:04
  advanced advanced things, I think,
• 53:06
  in the next in the next stage.
• 53:08
  I think for what the open is.
• 53:12
  Like it's fine.
• 53:13
  And it's same thing for the elites.
• 53:14
  Like people complain about
• 53:15
  the strength and stuff,
• 53:16
  but they can't do burpees
• 53:17
  and they're gassed and they can't,
• 53:20
  you know, do they have massive holes.
• 53:22
  But if you can't make the
• 53:23
  top one thousand two hundred,
• 53:26
  you're not you're not
• 53:27
  really a semifinal like level caliber.
• 53:30
  I think you have huge holes
• 53:31
  to your fitness.
• 53:32
  You're not fit enough.
• 53:33
  Like.
• 53:35
  I still, you look at the leaderboard,
• 53:37
  like the,
• 53:38
  the regular people were still towards the,
• 53:40
  like the top,
• 53:40
  or were they like all in the top ten?
• 53:42
  No, more so on the men than,
• 53:44
  than the females.
• 53:45
  But for the most part,
• 53:47
  you still had like the top,
• 53:50
  the fittest people up there,
• 53:52
  unless they were injured.
• 53:54
  Right.
• 53:54
  Well, we've said it, we say it every week.
• 53:56
  Like you, you say it's not heavy enough.
• 53:58
  We'll then move faster.
• 54:00
  Yeah.
• 54:01
  So that, that was the criteria here.
• 54:04
  Just move faster.
• 54:05
  like I still think all three
• 54:07
  tests were good in different ways.
• 54:10
  Like you still had some
• 54:11
  progressive gymnastics.
• 54:13
  You still had, um,
• 54:15
  the last workout had some inverted things,
• 54:18
  some, um, a couple of different barbells.
• 54:20
  So you have to at least have
• 54:22
  the technique to do snatches, cleans,
• 54:24
  deadlifts, the rowing played a factor.
• 54:27
  Like you, even though you,
• 54:28
  like you could be short or tall, you had,
• 54:30
  you had parts of the workout that were,
• 54:32
  that you could push.
• 54:34
  Like it wasn't necessarily
• 54:35
  just a short person or a
• 54:36
  tall person for that one.
• 54:38
  Dan Church says, preach Prevost.
• 54:47
  And he also adds in, it's irrelevant.
• 54:50
  The age division is racing the same group.
• 54:52
  Just race it.
• 54:52
  Yep.
• 54:54
  That's true.
• 54:55
  Yeah.
• 54:55
  I think, I think the next round,
• 54:56
  the semi is where you're
• 54:57
  going to get more high skill.
• 54:59
  I have more higher skills
• 55:00
  and stuff like that, which is, again,
• 55:02
  what we talked about, unfortunately,
• 55:03
  because you erase
• 55:04
  everything that happens here.
• 55:05
  And like,
• 55:06
  it's a completely different test.
• 55:08
  And like the one thousand
• 55:10
  people moving on in the
• 55:11
  elites or the two hundred,
• 55:12
  like you shouldn't be
• 55:14
  finishing a hundred place
• 55:16
  or like one hundred and
• 55:17
  fiftieth in your age group.
• 55:19
  And then all of a sudden you
• 55:19
  get the higher skills, heavier weights,
• 55:22
  and you're in the top thirty,
• 55:23
  but have massive holes in
• 55:26
  just playing fitness.
• 55:29
  Like you can't just do high
• 55:31
  skill heavyweights.
• 55:33
  That's not what fitness is only.
• 55:37
  right so dan asks any plans
• 55:38
  for clydesdale at mfc
• 55:39
  metcon rusher vitruvian
• 55:41
  games uh I'll answer that
• 55:43
  since I'm kind of the guy
• 55:45
  who runs the show here um
• 55:48
  we always end up at mfc
• 55:50
  whether I plan to or not
• 55:51
  it's a two-hour drive for
• 55:52
  me um so at the very least
• 55:55
  I'll be there for at least
• 55:56
  a day um I've never missed
• 55:59
  one I'll just say that
• 56:01
  um when it comes to
• 56:01
  metconrush that is one
• 56:02
  event I do want to get to
• 56:03
  at some point um I love
• 56:06
  what they do I've had their
• 56:08
  organizers on the show they
• 56:10
  are awesome and I would
• 56:11
  love to go see the event
• 56:14
  when that will fit in my
• 56:15
  schedule I don't know um
• 56:17
  I've been just waiting on
• 56:19
  what we're approved for and
• 56:20
  what we're not this year to make a plan
• 56:23
  In Vitruvian Games, I have to admit,
• 56:25
  I don't even know what that is.
• 56:25
  I've seen that one.
• 56:27
  I've heard of it.
• 56:28
  I just don't know where or what.
• 56:32
  So that's kind of what it is.
• 56:33
  We have not finalized any
• 56:35
  plans at this point on
• 56:37
  where we're going to be for anything.
• 56:39
  I did get approval from WFP.
• 56:42
  I did get approval from Syndicate Crown.
• 56:44
  So I'll probably be in those
• 56:45
  two locations.
• 56:46
  But my wife is also having
• 56:47
  her second knee surgery in
• 56:49
  that time frame.
• 56:50
  So I have to make sure I
• 56:51
  have a babysitter for her while I'm gone.
• 56:54
  So then we'll go on to Lex.
• 56:58
  What is the one thing you
• 56:58
  want to see in the semis
• 57:00
  and the one thing you don't
• 57:01
  want to show up?
• 57:06
  You want to go first?
• 57:09
  One Red Max snatch that I
• 57:13
  don't want to show up.
• 57:15
  yeah, I think,
• 57:16
  I think if you have four or
• 57:17
  five events and you do a max lift,
• 57:19
  if it really skews, um,
• 57:22
  the test quite a bit, um,
• 57:32
  things I don't things I want to see.
• 57:35
  I mean,
• 57:39
  A two twenty five deadlift.
• 57:40
  We already did that.
• 57:42
  I want to see another like
• 57:44
  the rope climb GHG pistol workout.
• 57:47
  I really liked that.
• 57:49
  I think regular rope climbs are fine.
• 57:51
  I think legless,
• 57:52
  sometimes it's going to be
• 57:53
  hard to see on video, um, certain things.
• 57:55
  And I still think rope
• 57:57
  climbs are sketch in a lot of gyms.
• 57:59
  Like you look,
• 58:00
  they do their measurements
• 58:01
  and then you're like, that is not.
• 58:02
  That's true.
• 58:03
  Like, I just find that there's,
• 58:06
  there's cheating happening.
• 58:08
  Um, I don't love that.
• 58:10
  Even though I think it's a
• 58:11
  very good movement,
• 58:12
  I think that you can still
• 58:13
  do ring muscle-ups and some
• 58:15
  sort of other pulling,
• 58:17
  like a heavy pulling type
• 58:18
  workout without needing the
• 58:21
  fifteen foot ceilings.
• 58:22
  Yeah,
• 58:23
  and I don't want to have to do that
• 58:24
  on camera.
• 58:25
  That's just pain.
• 58:29
  As much as I'd love to see rope climbs,
• 58:31
  it is such a pain to video.
• 58:34
  I remember lex I was at
• 58:35
  lex's gym which has like
• 58:37
  twenty foot ceilings and we
• 58:38
  were at like three boxes
• 58:40
  like and we're just like
• 58:42
  filming and all the way to
• 58:43
  the top not safe it's
• 58:45
  sketchy yes um yeah I mean
• 58:50
  I hope that there's a still
• 58:52
  a test that's like engine
• 58:55
  type like yeah stop that
• 58:58
  because things get erased from the open,
• 58:59
  I don't want all those
• 59:00
  movements to be erased in terms of,
• 59:03
  you know,
• 59:03
  I still want to see some sort of
• 59:06
  chest to bar bar muscle up, um, burpees,
• 59:11
  like the thrusters,
• 59:12
  like those movements I
• 59:13
  think should still be there
• 59:15
  in at least one test.
• 59:17
  Um,
• 59:19
  there needs to be heavier weights.
• 59:21
  Of course,
• 59:22
  I won't be surprised to see a
• 59:23
  snatch type of ladder,
• 59:25
  maybe with a gymnastics
• 59:26
  progression where you have
• 59:28
  to earn your lift with some
• 59:29
  sort of skill as well.
• 59:33
  Um,
• 59:34
  I think we'll see some shuttle runs in
• 59:35
  high volume.
• 59:38
  I think we will though,
• 59:41
  or double unders in high volume.
• 59:43
  I think we'll see.
• 59:45
  We have a ton of questions, ladies.
• 59:46
  We're going to move on.
• 59:49
  Jamie,
• 59:49
  how's your senior year going for
• 59:50
  your son?
• 59:53
  It's going okay.
• 59:54
  He has an online college course that...
• 59:58
  It's just a total shit show.
• 1:00:00
  It's an English class.
• 1:00:03
  One of the middle, the second semester,
• 1:00:07
  he just got way behind and
• 1:00:10
  didn't do some of his papers.
• 1:00:11
  And then the most he could
• 1:00:12
  get is sixty percent.
• 1:00:13
  So the kids got like a four
• 1:00:14
  point oh six and then just
• 1:00:16
  totally trashed his GPA in
• 1:00:18
  this one class.
• 1:00:19
  It's just absolutely ridiculous.
• 1:00:21
  So there was a couple of
• 1:00:23
  months there of just.
• 1:00:25
  not happy with him never
• 1:00:27
  once interviewing for a job
• 1:00:28
  has anybody asked me what
• 1:00:29
  my gpa was in high school
• 1:00:31
  yeah I know but he's also
• 1:00:32
  trying to get some
• 1:00:34
  scholarships and I was like
• 1:00:35
  that's the last thing they
• 1:00:36
  need to see is that you
• 1:00:37
  just checked out on your
• 1:00:38
  senior year of high school
• 1:00:39
  and but he's doing fine now
• 1:00:42
  and he'll probably finish
• 1:00:43
  just fine he just needs to
• 1:00:44
  get like it's like a three
• 1:00:46
  or four when you take the
• 1:00:47
  test to get the credit for the class so
• 1:00:49
  The college credits.
• 1:00:51
  Chris asks,
• 1:00:51
  when do Jamie's shirts go on sale?
• 1:00:53
  I don't know.
• 1:00:53
  Let her make the names first.
• 1:00:54
  Let her make the names first.
• 1:00:57
  And then we'll talk about that.
• 1:00:58
  Key and Coon may put a damper on that.
• 1:01:03
  This is a subject for later,
• 1:01:04
  but we'll bring it up now.
• 1:01:05
  What are your thoughts on
• 1:01:05
  Annie and Catra commentating?
• 1:01:08
  What I find interesting about that,
• 1:01:10
  and I'll play the video
• 1:01:11
  real quick just so you guys
• 1:01:12
  know what she's talking about.
• 1:01:14
  They never say they're going
• 1:01:15
  to commentate.
• 1:01:17
  I thought they did.
• 1:01:19
  They say they're going to call the action.
• 1:01:22
  That's what they say, call the action.
• 1:01:24
  Yeah, but in what manner?
• 1:01:25
  Because other people have
• 1:01:26
  said they're doing it as well.
• 1:01:28
  That's what I thought I heard.
• 1:01:29
  When you guys sent this, I was like,
• 1:01:31
  it isn't... Yeah,
• 1:01:32
  so here is what was posted
• 1:01:34
  on Instagram today.
• 1:01:43
  ... ...
• 1:01:46
  We are here to call the action.
• 1:01:52
  We're here to call the action.
• 1:01:53
  I'll see you in Indy.
• 1:01:58
  Are you ready?
• 1:02:04
  I like it.
• 1:02:06
  So we think they're going to
• 1:02:07
  be the ones just sitting at
• 1:02:08
  the table just because
• 1:02:10
  they're not the floor
• 1:02:11
  announcers that got announced.
• 1:02:14
  Well, and
• 1:02:17
  The play-by-play is Jeremy Austin.
• 1:02:19
  The color person is Tommy, supposedly,
• 1:02:23
  according to the pulse on episode one.
• 1:02:26
  Is it going to be a three-person booth?
• 1:02:28
  That's a four-person booth?
• 1:02:29
  Yeah.
• 1:02:30
  Or is it going to be like a rogue thing?
• 1:02:32
  Yeah.
• 1:02:33
  Like a rogue,
• 1:02:34
  like what they do at the
• 1:02:35
  rogue invitational when they have, like,
• 1:02:37
  in between the events,
• 1:02:38
  they're still talking.
• 1:02:38
  Like, it could be some stuff like that.
• 1:02:41
  Yeah.
• 1:02:43
  Yeah.
• 1:02:43
  I want to know more, but I...
• 1:02:45
  I think they're as good as
• 1:02:46
  anybody else to do it.
• 1:02:47
  They were great at Rogue.
• 1:02:54
  How bad is it to not test
• 1:02:56
  squatting in a qualifier?
• 1:03:00
  I have a feeling the second
• 1:03:02
  qualifier is going to be all squatting.
• 1:03:05
  I feel like there hasn't
• 1:03:06
  been much squatting in the
• 1:03:08
  open and other tests as well, too,
• 1:03:09
  in the past few years.
• 1:03:10
  Like I complained about this
• 1:03:11
  a few years ago when the
• 1:03:12
  only squatting that we had
• 1:03:14
  was like forty wall balls.
• 1:03:15
  And then like there was like
• 1:03:16
  no squatting at like two of the stages.
• 1:03:18
  And I was like, this is stupid.
• 1:03:21
  We haven't been squatting
• 1:03:21
  that much like in like high
• 1:03:23
  volume for a while.
• 1:03:26
  So I'm not surprised.
• 1:03:30
  This is referencing the WFP qualifiers.
• 1:03:33
  We are going to get into in
• 1:03:34
  more detail right after this.
• 1:03:37
  Lex asked a fun one.
• 1:03:38
  If you had to choose one
• 1:03:40
  food that you had to eat
• 1:03:41
  for the rest of your life,
• 1:03:42
  what would it be?
• 1:03:45
  Steak and eggs.
• 1:03:48
  It's my breakfast.
• 1:03:51
  Yeah,
• 1:03:51
  filet is probably what I would choose.
• 1:03:55
  Chicken wings.
• 1:03:57
  Yeah, you always like those chicken wings.
• 1:03:59
  Well,
• 1:03:59
  you can put different sauces on every
• 1:04:01
  day and make it a different flavor.
• 1:04:04
  So I'm not eating, you know what I mean?
• 1:04:05
  Got to think about the versatility,
• 1:04:07
  the way you can shake it up.
• 1:04:12
  I actually just love chicken.
• 1:04:13
  Like,
• 1:04:13
  I could eat chicken breast all the time.
• 1:04:15
  And you can put different
• 1:04:16
  sauces on that as well.
• 1:04:18
  But yeah, anyway.
• 1:04:24
  Which other comps are Jamie
• 1:04:25
  and Carolyn doing this year
• 1:04:26
  other than Games and Legends?
• 1:04:27
  Games and Legends.
• 1:04:31
  Well, I'm not doing legends.
• 1:04:36
  I mean,
• 1:04:38
  do we even know what came of
• 1:04:39
  legends last year?
• 1:04:43
  People competed, people finished.
• 1:04:46
  I think they said they were
• 1:04:47
  going to give a prize first this year,
• 1:04:50
  but I didn't see anything.
• 1:04:52
  I heard that they did not,
• 1:04:54
  but I could be wrong.
• 1:04:57
  I'm going to do the NorCal
• 1:04:58
  one June six to eight,
• 1:05:01
  I think is the date.
• 1:05:04
  I was already planning on
• 1:05:05
  doing that one prior to it
• 1:05:07
  being an event.
• 1:05:10
  And then they moved it and I
• 1:05:11
  was already committed to
• 1:05:14
  that in my season.
• 1:05:16
  The syndicate is the week prior.
• 1:05:18
  I just don't think I could
• 1:05:19
  do those two back to back with work.
• 1:05:21
  Like I can't take that much
• 1:05:22
  time off in the last month of school.
• 1:05:25
  Nope.
• 1:05:27
  That wouldn't be fair to me.
• 1:05:29
  Yeah.
• 1:05:29
  MFC is like my, my plan.
• 1:05:33
  Is, is MFC individual and team this year?
• 1:05:37
  Yeah.
• 1:05:37
  Anyone could sign up for team.
• 1:05:39
  Like,
• 1:05:40
  like Haley and I could sign up for
• 1:05:43
  two person female.
• 1:05:44
  Okay.
• 1:05:47
  But I think,
• 1:05:48
  I think I'm just going to do individual.
• 1:05:51
  Um, Lex also asked,
• 1:05:52
  do you think that all age,
• 1:05:54
  the age group registration
• 1:05:55
  fees should go to the age
• 1:05:56
  group group prize money
• 1:05:58
  versus the general pool of money?
• 1:05:59
  A hundred percent.
• 1:06:00
  Sure.
• 1:06:02
  They haven't said anything
• 1:06:03
  about the masters.
• 1:06:04
  They just said
• 1:06:09
  I know.
• 1:06:10
  Like how they're allocating
• 1:06:11
  that between the different age groups.
• 1:06:13
  Right.
• 1:06:14
  If any of the semifinal
• 1:06:15
  money is also going to the
• 1:06:17
  prize pool or if it's just the open,
• 1:06:20
  if there's any prize purse
• 1:06:21
  to be won for the age group
• 1:06:23
  in the semifinals,
• 1:06:23
  like there's no info on any of that.
• 1:06:25
  And I'm very curious because
• 1:06:27
  the prize purse was pretty
• 1:06:29
  good the last few years.
• 1:06:31
  It will not be good.
• 1:06:34
  Like you're going to go from
• 1:06:34
  like twenty five K to what?
• 1:06:36
  Five.
• 1:06:37
  Maybe you think five.
• 1:06:39
  Maybe.
• 1:06:39
  Yeah.
• 1:06:40
  I don't think it'll drop that far,
• 1:06:41
  but the only thing I'll say
• 1:06:44
  about the registration fees
• 1:06:45
  for semis is they still
• 1:06:48
  have to put the show on,
• 1:06:50
  so some of that should go
• 1:06:51
  to administrating the age
• 1:06:55
  group CrossFit games.
• 1:07:00
  Some kind of split,
• 1:07:01
  but some of it should go to that as well.
• 1:07:07
  Yeah,
• 1:07:07
  because they need to make money as well.
• 1:07:10
  I mean,
• 1:07:10
  it's also going to be a fee to
• 1:07:12
  compete there.
• 1:07:13
  So I'm sure that's going to be like, frig,
• 1:07:15
  if some of these comps, I mean,
• 1:07:17
  some of the semifinals,
• 1:07:18
  the NorCal one was like four hundred.
• 1:07:21
  I don't know what they're
• 1:07:21
  going to charge for the CrossFit Games.
• 1:07:23
  I feel like at this point
• 1:07:24
  we're going to get charged
• 1:07:25
  like nine hundred dollars.
• 1:07:27
  It'll probably be close to
• 1:07:28
  that four hundred.
• 1:07:30
  Yeah,
• 1:07:30
  I think it's going to be four to five
• 1:07:31
  hundred.
• 1:07:33
  Lynn asks,
• 1:07:34
  if you had to form a male-female
• 1:07:36
  or a female-female team for
• 1:07:38
  the CrossFit Games team comp of two,
• 1:07:41
  who would you choose?
• 1:07:44
  I would choose J.R.
• 1:07:45
  Howell.
• 1:07:45
  Well, that's your male, now female-female.
• 1:07:53
  Am I trying to keep it in my age group?
• 1:07:54
  Is that the point?
• 1:07:56
  She did not stipulate any of that.
• 1:08:09
  Honestly,
• 1:08:10
  I'd probably choose my friend
• 1:08:13
  Selena as a female.
• 1:08:23
  I mean,
• 1:08:23
  I'm going to go with the goat when
• 1:08:24
  she's in CrossFit shape.
• 1:08:28
  You can pick Holta.
• 1:08:33
  I actually, Holta has always been like,
• 1:08:35
  so I've had like three,
• 1:08:36
  I always said to Lex,
• 1:08:37
  like I have like three
• 1:08:37
  favorite CrossFit athletes.
• 1:08:39
  It's Holta.
• 1:08:40
  I really liked Jamie green
• 1:08:42
  when she was competing and Christy Armo.
• 1:08:44
  Yeah.
• 1:08:44
  I would probably pick Sam
• 1:08:46
  Briggs quite honestly.
• 1:08:47
  That's who I, Oh yeah.
• 1:08:48
  Sam's up there too.
• 1:08:50
  If that way you're keeping
• 1:08:51
  it in your age group.
• 1:08:52
  Yeah.
• 1:08:53
  And Briggs.
• 1:08:54
  Yeah.
• 1:08:54
  Okay.
• 1:08:54
  If I'm going in my age group,
• 1:08:56
  I'm going Holta.
• 1:08:57
  Um, if not, I guess, um,
• 1:08:59
  I will clearly pick Lex if she's healthy,
• 1:09:03
  but is that ever the case?
• 1:09:05
  Well, she's due for something, you know,
• 1:09:08
  it's, it's, we always say that like,
• 1:09:11
  you know, it's been, it's been a year.
• 1:09:14
  Um, but yeah.
• 1:09:19
  Um,
• 1:09:21
  I want to do a high rocks with Lexa.
• 1:09:23
  Fergie asked,
• 1:09:24
  love watching Carolyn grind
• 1:09:25
  out a long chipper.
• 1:09:26
  Does she like twenty minute
• 1:09:28
  plus minute tests?
• 1:09:30
  Not particularly,
• 1:09:31
  unless it's a hockey period,
• 1:09:32
  that's twenty minutes.
• 1:09:36
  No, I mean,
• 1:09:37
  most of my sports growing up were,
• 1:09:39
  you know,
• 1:09:40
  explosive stuff in terms of
• 1:09:43
  CrossFit time domain.
• 1:09:44
  I normally do well in that.
• 1:09:48
  eight minutes, ten minutes and below.
• 1:09:53
  I don't mind the twenty plus minutes.
• 1:09:55
  I do it every day in
• 1:09:56
  training in terms of
• 1:09:57
  working on my conditioning.
• 1:10:00
  It wouldn't be my favorite.
• 1:10:08
  My question is,
• 1:10:09
  I think you guys feel the same way.
• 1:10:10
  You both want to do Indy.
• 1:10:12
  If not, was your master's
• 1:10:19
  If there was no Masters,
• 1:10:21
  I'm guessing is what he's saying.
• 1:10:25
  That's basically what I think he's saying.
• 1:10:26
  Yeah, I'm lost there.
• 1:10:31
  Yeah, but like you're saying,
• 1:10:33
  so like Bill Grundler,
• 1:10:34
  could he do the individual workouts?
• 1:10:36
  A hundred percent.
• 1:10:39
  Would he score high enough
• 1:10:40
  to make a semis?
• 1:10:42
  No.
• 1:10:43
  So what's really the point?
• 1:10:46
  There is an age where
• 1:10:48
  we're not going to be competitive anymore.
• 1:10:54
  Oh my goodness.
• 1:10:55
  You guys are just pumping them in here.
• 1:10:57
  Holy cow.
• 1:11:02
  Lana said, will there be a GHD?
• 1:11:04
  That's a good question.
• 1:11:05
  Um, Lex was offended.
• 1:11:07
  You didn't pick her up,
• 1:11:08
  but then you did put in the
• 1:11:10
  caveat about her being hurt all the time.
• 1:11:12
  Oh no.
• 1:11:13
  I said that.
• 1:11:13
  I love doing partner stuff with Lex.
• 1:11:15
  I think we're undefeated
• 1:11:16
  when we compete together.
• 1:11:18
  Um,
• 1:11:19
  we have a really good time and she
• 1:11:20
  compliments my weaknesses,
• 1:11:22
  like her strengths are my weaknesses,
• 1:11:24
  vice versa.
• 1:11:25
  Um, no, I have a good time.
• 1:11:26
  I was just trying to pick a
• 1:11:28
  games athlete Lex.
• 1:11:30
  Craig S is the pit teen comp
• 1:11:32
  happening this year.
• 1:11:33
  They actually merged the
• 1:11:36
  teen CrossFit games,
• 1:11:37
  which was at the pit and the,
• 1:11:39
  the masters together.
• 1:11:40
  And it'll happen here in Columbus,
• 1:11:42
  but they're also holding a
• 1:11:44
  pit showdown at the pit to
• 1:11:48
  kind of pump up the athletes.
• 1:11:49
  I think they usually do a
• 1:11:50
  little camp with it.
• 1:11:52
  Yeah.
• 1:11:52
  They're still doing their pit.
• 1:11:54
  It's got like the first two
• 1:11:56
  days or first day or whatever.
• 1:11:57
  It's like college.
• 1:11:58
  There's yes.
• 1:11:59
  They're still doing that.
• 1:12:00
  And it's, yeah.
• 1:12:01
  I don't know if it's still
• 1:12:02
  labor day weekend or whatever.
• 1:12:03
  It always isn't that may,
• 1:12:04
  it may have moved by a week or two.
• 1:12:07
  So their camp used to be
• 1:12:08
  earlier in the summer.
• 1:12:09
  And I think that's what they moved it to.
• 1:12:12
  Okay.
• 1:12:12
  Kind of coincide with that,
• 1:12:14
  but don't quote me on that.
• 1:12:16
  One of our teens is doing
• 1:12:18
  the qualifiers right now
• 1:12:19
  and is planning on going.
• 1:12:21
  He's sitting pretty high.
• 1:12:21
  So.
• 1:12:23
  Yes, Craig, in Michigan.
• 1:12:24
  Yes.
• 1:12:25
  It will be in Michigan.
• 1:12:28
  And they're going to do that
• 1:12:30
  just like Legends does the
• 1:12:31
  Masters games and Legends in the winter.
• 1:12:35
  So just like that.
• 1:12:40
  And there will be a college
• 1:12:42
  comp at Masters games too.
• 1:12:43
  Oh, really?
• 1:12:45
  That's from Andrew Sten,
• 1:12:47
  who is kind of part of the Legends team.
• 1:12:51
  Interesting.
• 1:12:54
  So, okay.
• 1:12:55
  Well,
• 1:12:55
  we're going to end questions for now.
• 1:12:57
  We'll open that up again in
• 1:12:58
  a couple of weeks.
• 1:13:00
  When we,
• 1:13:00
  when we have a lighter day with news,
• 1:13:04
  but you guys both, well,
• 1:13:07
  Jamie did the WFP qualifiers and,
• 1:13:11
  And her name appears on the leaderboard.
• 1:13:13
  No scores, though.
• 1:13:15
  But her videos are out on
• 1:13:17
  YouTube if you want to watch them.
• 1:13:18
  Yes.
• 1:13:20
  Her name is on the leaderboard,
• 1:13:21
  but I have no idea if she's
• 1:13:22
  done the qualifiers,
• 1:13:23
  if she ever plans to do them.
• 1:13:26
  So let's look at the
• 1:13:29
  workouts and give me your thoughts.
• 1:13:32
  And then if you did them,
• 1:13:33
  maybe you have more insight than others.
• 1:13:36
  And Carolyn can let us know
• 1:13:37
  if she even did them or
• 1:13:38
  decided not to this year.
• 1:13:41
  So workout one was an AMRAP
• 1:13:43
  of twenty minutes,
• 1:13:45
  twenty and fifteen calorie row,
• 1:13:47
  twenty lateral burpees over
• 1:13:48
  the rower and forty shuttle runs.
• 1:13:51
  I did notice the standard
• 1:13:52
  was you didn't have to have
• 1:13:55
  both feet off the ground
• 1:13:55
  off over the rower and you
• 1:13:58
  didn't have to touch the
• 1:13:58
  floor with your hand on the shuttles,
• 1:14:02
  which I like.
• 1:14:03
  Yep.
• 1:14:04
  So I know Jamie did it.
• 1:14:07
  I saw her do it on video.
• 1:14:09
  don't know if carolyn did it
• 1:14:10
  what are your thoughts on
• 1:14:11
  workout one I think it's a
• 1:14:13
  good test yeah it's good
• 1:14:15
  pure cardio like yeah do
• 1:14:17
  you want to keep running
• 1:14:17
  kind of it's a it's about
• 1:14:19
  moving those shuttles so
• 1:14:21
  yeah you can lose you can
• 1:14:22
  definitely lose a lot of
• 1:14:22
  time if you don't if you
• 1:14:23
  don't have um good cadence
• 1:14:26
  right like yeah
• 1:14:28
  it's especially with,
• 1:14:29
  without the touches on, on the ground,
• 1:14:32
  it's a new movement maybe for some.
• 1:14:34
  So just like the footwork
• 1:14:36
  and stuff is often if you
• 1:14:39
  get off a little bit,
• 1:14:40
  it's just so easy on
• 1:14:41
  shuttle runs to slow down a
• 1:14:42
  little bit and it just adds up.
• 1:14:44
  Yup.
• 1:14:45
  Like it just, I liked it.
• 1:14:48
  That's my jam right there.
• 1:14:50
  uh lynn says she did wad one
• 1:14:52
  it's literally a five k at
• 1:14:54
  a hundred and seventy miles
• 1:14:55
  an hour I think is what
• 1:14:56
  she's saying heart rate and
• 1:14:58
  wad three a hundred seventy
• 1:15:00
  heart rate and wad three is
• 1:15:02
  my type of jam I loved it I
• 1:15:04
  think you and jamie flip
• 1:15:06
  yeah we definitely flipped there
• 1:15:10
  I did it.
• 1:15:11
  My shoulder run just got meh.
• 1:15:17
  That's where I lost most of my time.
• 1:15:20
  I just didn't run as well.
• 1:15:22
  I tried some side.
• 1:15:25
  It was just awkward to me.
• 1:15:27
  I think it would have taken
• 1:15:27
  me too long to get that.
• 1:15:31
  He side shuffled several of them.
• 1:15:35
  Basketball shuffled and just...
• 1:15:37
  I was never going to do that
• 1:15:38
  the whole length.
• 1:15:39
  What I was trying to do a
• 1:15:40
  couple of times was like,
• 1:15:41
  sort of do that to get my
• 1:15:42
  feet across and then like
• 1:15:44
  two over and then back to run.
• 1:15:46
  And then, and instead of like turning,
• 1:15:49
  just like chuff,
• 1:15:50
  like side shuffling over
• 1:15:52
  the line and back.
• 1:15:53
  But it was, it just wasn't natural to me.
• 1:15:58
  Workout two was very much
• 1:16:00
  like an open workout with
• 1:16:03
  the progressive gymnastics.
• 1:16:06
  It had double unders, lots of them.
• 1:16:08
  So it starts a fifteen minute time cap.
• 1:16:12
  And it is for, it is for time, correct?
• 1:16:14
  Correct.
• 1:16:15
  A hundred and fifty double unders,
• 1:16:16
  then the double dumbbell
• 1:16:19
  farmer's walking lunges,
• 1:16:21
  then forty-five pull-ups,
• 1:16:23
  then a hundred and twenty double unders,
• 1:16:25
  a hundred foot of double
• 1:16:26
  dumbbell front rack walking lunges,
• 1:16:28
  thirty chest-to-bar pull-ups,
• 1:16:30
  then ninety double unders,
• 1:16:32
  a hundred foot of double
• 1:16:33
  dumbbell overhead walking lunges,
• 1:16:36
  fifteen bar muscle-ups.
• 1:16:38
  The dumbbell weight was fifty thirty-five.
• 1:16:41
  Yeah.
• 1:16:41
  This reminded me so much
• 1:16:43
  Scott of the one you came and videoed me.
• 1:16:46
  The masters semifinals
• 1:16:47
  workout reminded me of that
• 1:16:49
  workout so much.
• 1:16:52
  I just didn't do as good as I did.
• 1:16:56
  I don't know.
• 1:16:56
  It was just like, I,
• 1:16:58
  I decided to do these on Thursday and I,
• 1:17:00
  and I did it Thursday night
• 1:17:03
  and it just wasn't my cleanest execution.
• 1:17:05
  I don't have time.
• 1:17:06
  Like I did one Thursday,
• 1:17:08
  did the number three Friday,
• 1:17:09
  totally messed it up.
• 1:17:10
  Ronica was judging me and like,
• 1:17:13
  had no clue what was going on.
• 1:17:14
  She's like, I was like,
• 1:17:15
  I need to start in two minutes.
• 1:17:16
  She's like, well then start now.
• 1:17:18
  And then I was like,
• 1:17:19
  I have to stop in five minutes.
• 1:17:20
  She's like, well then stop now.
• 1:17:22
  We were, she was so far off in the time.
• 1:17:24
  Like I started early and I
• 1:17:27
  only got to lift.
• 1:17:28
  I only like did cleans for like a minute.
• 1:17:30
  Like she ended me like seconds early.
• 1:17:32
  I was like, what a show.
• 1:17:34
  So that was a waste of a
• 1:17:36
  workout on Friday.
• 1:17:37
  And then Saturday I did the other one,
• 1:17:40
  the number two or number one.
• 1:17:43
  Yesterday I did the shuttle one.
• 1:17:46
  And then today I redid
• 1:17:47
  number three correctly.
• 1:17:51
  I love your peeps at the gym.
• 1:17:54
  They're so much fun to be around.
• 1:17:56
  But when it comes to like
• 1:17:57
  the organization on a elite
• 1:18:00
  athlete comp day,
• 1:18:02
  I want to pull my hair out.
• 1:18:04
  Yeah.
• 1:18:05
  It's, there's, it's a lot like,
• 1:18:10
  it's not Ron's fault.
• 1:18:11
  It's just, yeah.
• 1:18:12
  Well, there,
• 1:18:12
  there are detail oriented
• 1:18:13
  people and there are the
• 1:18:15
  people that brought their strength.
• 1:18:17
  And like, when it comes to those things,
• 1:18:20
  when I was a judge,
• 1:18:20
  like I was very detailed
• 1:18:21
  about those things, setting up the camera,
• 1:18:24
  right.
• 1:18:24
  Getting the clock synced.
• 1:18:26
  Like all those things are important.
• 1:18:27
  Yeah.
• 1:18:28
  and uh yeah it's crazy I
• 1:18:31
  took my son today and I was
• 1:18:33
  like you're doing the math
• 1:18:34
  tell me when I'm starting
• 1:18:35
  tell me when I'm stopping
• 1:18:36
  so he was there today I pr
• 1:18:39
  my double unders nice nice
• 1:18:42
  I did one fifty unbroken
• 1:18:44
  dang I've never done that
• 1:18:47
  so I will take that as a win
• 1:18:50
  So Kenneth is asking about
• 1:18:52
  the leaderboard and I know
• 1:18:54
  some people in the chat
• 1:18:54
  have answered him.
• 1:18:55
  The issue with the
• 1:18:56
  leaderboard is barely
• 1:18:58
  anybody has put in their scores.
• 1:18:59
  Yeah.
• 1:19:00
  So you can go see fee scores
• 1:19:03
  if you want to see those.
• 1:19:04
  And she is the only one of
• 1:19:06
  name recognition that has
• 1:19:08
  put in all of their scores.
• 1:19:11
  So it doesn't really say a
• 1:19:12
  lot about where people
• 1:19:15
  stand at this moment.
• 1:19:15
  Right.
• 1:19:19
  Lynn says, look at Carolyn.
• 1:19:21
  Look at you go, Carolyn.
• 1:19:23
  For me, that's just like,
• 1:19:24
  I don't really care about
• 1:19:25
  this qualifier because I
• 1:19:26
  wouldn't even be able to do
• 1:19:28
  the Indiana one if I were to qualify.
• 1:19:31
  But I just wanted to do some
• 1:19:32
  tough workouts this week
• 1:19:34
  just to kind of get ready
• 1:19:35
  for the online workouts, semifinal.
• 1:19:41
  But it was a...
• 1:19:43
  it was a mental win versus like,
• 1:19:45
  I don't like versus my
• 1:19:46
  score just because anytime
• 1:19:48
  that there's a higher
• 1:19:49
  volume double under on the
• 1:19:51
  spot that pops up,
• 1:19:51
  like the first thing that
• 1:19:53
  will go into like in my head will be like,
• 1:19:54
  okay, well there goes my shot.
• 1:19:56
  Like I won't qualify in
• 1:19:57
  these four workouts.
• 1:19:59
  So just to know now that
• 1:20:00
  like my skipping is getting back to being,
• 1:20:04
  I guess,
• 1:20:05
  normal ish type of double unders
• 1:20:09
  gives me confidence going
• 1:20:10
  into the online summies
• 1:20:11
  that if something does pop up,
• 1:20:12
  that's two hundred on the
• 1:20:13
  spot or three hundred.
• 1:20:15
  I'm not three to four
• 1:20:16
  minutes behind people.
• 1:20:18
  because like that that
• 1:20:19
  happened like my whole
• 1:20:20
  career basically we had
• 1:20:21
  three hundred two hundred
• 1:20:22
  one hundred double unders
• 1:20:24
  the one year on the online
• 1:20:25
  semi-finals and what was
• 1:20:27
  taking people you know
• 1:20:28
  three hundred double unders
• 1:20:29
  was taking three minutes
• 1:20:30
  for people it was taking me
• 1:20:31
  six minutes and the
• 1:20:32
  commentators were like I
• 1:20:33
  think prev was injured and
• 1:20:34
  I was like I just can't do them
• 1:20:38
  And like, I was just like dead last,
• 1:20:40
  but like,
• 1:20:40
  it didn't matter how fast I was
• 1:20:41
  doing the muscle ups or the lunges.
• 1:20:43
  Like I was just so far
• 1:20:44
  behind on the double unders that like,
• 1:20:46
  no matter what it was paired with,
• 1:20:48
  it was just so bad.
• 1:20:49
  So it was more just a mental win, I guess,
• 1:20:52
  this weekend to be able to do that.
• 1:20:54
  Yeah.
• 1:20:54
  Vi asks, Carolyn,
• 1:20:55
  would you say double unders
• 1:20:56
  are no longer a weakness for you?
• 1:20:58
  No,
• 1:20:58
  because I still think that I have to
• 1:21:00
  focus on them.
• 1:21:02
  I can't just pick up the rope and just go.
• 1:21:06
  I'm thinking about all the
• 1:21:07
  drills that I've done and
• 1:21:08
  certain positions that I
• 1:21:10
  want to maintain.
• 1:21:11
  And if I start losing it, it's like, okay,
• 1:21:14
  stop.
• 1:21:17
  So it's not as natural as
• 1:21:18
  someone that can just pick
• 1:21:19
  up the rope and do whatever,
• 1:21:21
  miss and just keep going.
• 1:21:24
  I will say I did not do the
• 1:21:26
  one-fifty unbroken.
• 1:21:28
  But I actually felt like my
• 1:21:30
  dubs were fine in that workout.
• 1:21:31
  I just was,
• 1:21:32
  I sort of mentally gave up on
• 1:21:34
  the overhead walking lunge.
• 1:21:37
  And then I went to go
• 1:21:38
  unbroken on the fifteen bar
• 1:21:39
  muscle ups and I only got fourteen.
• 1:21:43
  I went for it.
• 1:21:44
  I usually don't.
• 1:21:45
  I was like, nah, just go for it.
• 1:21:46
  Why not?
• 1:21:49
  So let's move on to workout three.
• 1:21:51
  It is a two-parter.
• 1:21:53
  First one is five rounds for
• 1:21:54
  time of a seven-minute cap,
• 1:21:56
  fifty-foot handstand walk,
• 1:21:58
  unbroken sections of twenty-five feet,
• 1:22:01
  and then ten deadlifts at
• 1:22:02
  three-fifteen to twenty-five.
• 1:22:05
  And then at the seven-minute mark,
• 1:22:08
  you then go into fifteen
• 1:22:11
  wall walk complexes,
• 1:22:13
  which is one wall walk,
• 1:22:14
  one wall facing handstand push-up,
• 1:22:16
  And in the remaining time,
• 1:22:17
  max cleans at two twenty
• 1:22:19
  five one fifty five.
• 1:22:21
  So it's not at the seven minute mark.
• 1:22:23
  And OK, it's so it's written very poorly.
• 1:22:28
  It is because Jamie messaged
• 1:22:29
  me today or yesterday.
• 1:22:30
  You messaged me today
• 1:22:32
  because it just says at the completion,
• 1:22:34
  like add two minutes and
• 1:22:37
  then begin part two.
• 1:22:38
  And I was like,
• 1:22:38
  there's no way you're just
• 1:22:39
  starting like at this random number.
• 1:22:41
  Like there was no example
• 1:22:43
  given in the thingy.
• 1:22:44
  Like I wrote to them and I was like,
• 1:22:46
  when do you start part two?
• 1:22:47
  Like,
• 1:22:47
  is it cause it said like you rest a
• 1:22:49
  minimum of two minutes.
• 1:22:50
  Okay.
• 1:22:51
  Like if you finish fast,
• 1:22:53
  you should get rewarded and then get,
• 1:22:55
  you start at the seven minute and then at,
• 1:22:59
  or I'm sorry, you get timed up at seven,
• 1:23:01
  you begin at the nine minute.
• 1:23:02
  And then they're like, no, you begin,
• 1:23:03
  let's say you do it at in five minutes,
• 1:23:06
  you begin at the seven
• 1:23:07
  minutes or four thirty,
• 1:23:09
  you begin at the six thirty.
• 1:23:10
  And I was like, oh wow.
• 1:23:11
  But like, there's no examples of that.
• 1:23:13
  Like it's,
• 1:23:14
  it's written poorly so that
• 1:23:16
  was so that was the issue
• 1:23:17
  and this is why so ronica
• 1:23:18
  was trying to make me start
• 1:23:20
  at nine and I and I had the
• 1:23:21
  first time I did it I had
• 1:23:22
  finished in five something
• 1:23:25
  or whatever in the and I'm
• 1:23:26
  like I have to start like
• 1:23:27
  when do I start like I know
• 1:23:29
  I need to be going and
• 1:23:30
  she's just like waiting for
• 1:23:31
  the nine minute mark and
• 1:23:32
  I'm like I need to be going yeah
• 1:23:39
  uh so the pack says can can
• 1:23:41
  spinning hook kick a moving
• 1:23:43
  human in the head but can't
• 1:23:45
  dub she can dub just fine
• 1:23:47
  it's funny because I used
• 1:23:48
  to skip all the time like
• 1:23:49
  in martial arts like we
• 1:23:49
  would do that as a warm-up
• 1:23:51
  all the time I just don't
• 1:23:53
  know what happened over the
• 1:23:54
  years her athletic with her
• 1:23:57
  athleticism it's hard to
• 1:23:58
  comprehend yeah it's frustrating
• 1:24:04
  Now we're back to the questions.
• 1:24:07
  Would Jamie rather do a
• 1:24:08
  hundred burpees for time or
• 1:24:09
  chaperone in eighth grade pool party?
• 1:24:11
  I'd probably rather do a
• 1:24:11
  hundred burpees for time.
• 1:24:13
  A hundred percent a hundred
• 1:24:14
  burpees for time.
• 1:24:15
  Yeah, that's quick.
• 1:24:17
  All right.
• 1:24:20
  So those are the workouts.
• 1:24:21
  You guys did them.
• 1:24:22
  Jamie, you're going to enter them in.
• 1:24:23
  Carolyn,
• 1:24:23
  you said you wouldn't be able to
• 1:24:24
  compete in Indy even if you put them in.
• 1:24:27
  No, but I do like that first workout,
• 1:24:29
  that first part of that workout.
• 1:24:31
  the deadlift hands I figured
• 1:24:32
  you would love that I was
• 1:24:34
  happy I think my score
• 1:24:34
  would be pretty good on
• 1:24:35
  that one yeah I was happy
• 1:24:37
  with that I I just did them
• 1:24:39
  because like I don't think
• 1:24:40
  I have a shot but
• 1:24:42
  especially with that third
• 1:24:43
  workout um but like since
• 1:24:46
  I'm gone all week I'm not
• 1:24:47
  gonna have good training so
• 1:24:48
  I was like might as well
• 1:24:49
  hit three hard workouts
• 1:24:50
  this weekend and use it as
• 1:24:52
  like that's my training yeah
• 1:24:58
  And do you pay the twenty
• 1:24:59
  five dollars to make
• 1:25:00
  yourself do all three?
• 1:25:02
  Yes.
• 1:25:02
  I was like,
• 1:25:03
  I could just do them and see my
• 1:25:04
  look at my score.
• 1:25:05
  But I was like,
• 1:25:05
  just pay in your name up there and.
• 1:25:10
  I paid almost when it's open
• 1:25:13
  just to kind of support the league.
• 1:25:14
  And then I originally wasn't
• 1:25:16
  going to do them this weekend.
• 1:25:17
  And then Lex is like, just use it as,
• 1:25:19
  you know, they're good workouts.
• 1:25:20
  Just do them, see where you are,
• 1:25:24
  like continue a training
• 1:25:26
  and get ready for the online summies,
• 1:25:28
  but just kind of use it as
• 1:25:30
  a gauge of what you need to
• 1:25:31
  work on without like
• 1:25:35
  killing yourself to redo or,
• 1:25:38
  or the pressure, I guess.
• 1:25:40
  But if that,
• 1:25:42
  if that three a wants to pop
• 1:25:43
  back up for online semifinals,
• 1:25:46
  I am down for that workout.
• 1:25:49
  I thought it was going to
• 1:25:49
  get time capped and I didn't.
• 1:25:51
  So I'm thrilled.
• 1:25:54
  All right.
• 1:25:54
  With all of that,
• 1:25:55
  let's hit some quick hit
• 1:25:56
  new stuff and then we'll
• 1:25:57
  get out of here tonight.
• 1:26:00
  We talked about a little bit
• 1:26:00
  last week that CrossFit did
• 1:26:02
  announce that they're up for sale.
• 1:26:04
  In the last week,
• 1:26:05
  someone of significance has
• 1:26:08
  expressed an interest in buying CrossFit.
• 1:26:11
  And so I am going to share this.
• 1:26:17
  And this is a copy of a copy of
• 1:26:21
  of a copy.
• 1:26:22
  This was posted by Mike Halpin.
• 1:26:26
  It was Shawn Johnson on her
• 1:26:28
  Instagram stories posted
• 1:26:30
  that dear CrossFit
• 1:26:31
  community we are in talks
• 1:26:32
  to bring together an
• 1:26:33
  ownership group to buy what
• 1:26:34
  we think is an incredible
• 1:26:36
  organization and system
• 1:26:37
  that has changed our lives
• 1:26:39
  and the lives of many
• 1:26:40
  others for the better.
• 1:26:41
  We've been to affiliates
• 1:26:42
  across the country and
• 1:26:43
  across the world and you
• 1:26:44
  get the rest of it.
• 1:26:45
  You can read it there.
• 1:26:48
  But that is a pretty big name.
• 1:26:50
  Olympic,
• 1:26:51
  two thousand and eight Olympic gymnast,
• 1:26:53
  gold medalist Shawn Johnson
• 1:26:56
  expressing interest
• 1:26:56
  publicly that her and her
• 1:26:59
  team are trying to put
• 1:27:00
  together buyers to buy CrossFit.
• 1:27:03
  Any thoughts on that?
• 1:27:06
  I thought it was cool that
• 1:27:08
  she put that on her story.
• 1:27:10
  I think if anyone follows
• 1:27:13
  gymnastics at the Olympics,
• 1:27:14
  you know who that is.
• 1:27:17
  I don't know what type of
• 1:27:19
  business model and stuff
• 1:27:20
  that they would know and stuff.
• 1:27:22
  But in terms of,
• 1:27:22
  I just thought it was cool
• 1:27:23
  that she was interested in
• 1:27:29
  the company and said great
• 1:27:30
  things about it.
• 1:27:33
  Yeah.
• 1:27:34
  Cluny says,
• 1:27:35
  ownership group spells big
• 1:27:36
  problems for the community.
• 1:27:37
  It depends on the ownership group.
• 1:27:39
  You have ownership groups
• 1:27:40
  that athletes put together
• 1:27:42
  like Magic Johnson did with
• 1:27:43
  the Dodgers and the
• 1:27:45
  Washington football team.
• 1:27:47
  And you have like A-Rod did
• 1:27:48
  with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
• 1:27:50
  And it's not a board of directors.
• 1:27:52
  It's just a group of people
• 1:27:53
  who have come together and
• 1:27:54
  taken ownership stake.
• 1:27:57
  That's different than
• 1:27:58
  private equity trying to
• 1:27:59
  make a profit immediately.
• 1:28:00
  Yeah.
• 1:28:02
  So you need to separate
• 1:28:03
  those two kinds of
• 1:28:04
  investment groups and it
• 1:28:06
  would depend on where she
• 1:28:07
  got the money from.
• 1:28:09
  If it comes from private equity,
• 1:28:10
  then red flag.
• 1:28:12
  Yeah.
• 1:28:12
  You see a lot of ownership groups,
• 1:28:14
  especially in like
• 1:28:14
  professional sports that
• 1:28:15
  just come together so they
• 1:28:16
  have enough money to buy it
• 1:28:18
  and they'll all have parts of it.
• 1:28:19
  Like you're seeing athletes
• 1:28:21
  invest into different teams and,
• 1:28:23
  and stuff like that too.
• 1:28:25
  So I don't think it's crazy
• 1:28:26
  to think that they'd put
• 1:28:27
  together something that's
• 1:28:29
  good I just don't know um
• 1:28:32
  what the competition is
• 1:28:33
  like to to buy it um fergie
• 1:28:38
  points out that this would
• 1:28:39
  make uh larry young
• 1:28:41
  extremely happy um because
• 1:28:43
  if sean johnson buys
• 1:28:44
  crossfit get ready for more
• 1:28:46
  gymnastics in the open um
• 1:28:54
  And Lana points out she has
• 1:28:55
  a lot of followers.
• 1:28:57
  And she has more followers
• 1:28:57
  than anybody in the CrossFit space.
• 1:29:03
  Yeah.
• 1:29:04
  CrossFit said, hey,
• 1:29:05
  Tom Brady with a stake in Noble,
• 1:29:06
  who also funds St.
• 1:29:08
  John's NIL.
• 1:29:08
  There you go.
• 1:29:13
  And Ryan Reynolds nearly bought the Sens.
• 1:29:15
  Is this true?
• 1:29:17
  Yeah.
• 1:29:19
  Yeah.
• 1:29:21
  Who knows?
• 1:29:23
  Um, someone,
• 1:29:24
  I think it was Charlie brought up to me,
• 1:29:25
  Damon, John, um,
• 1:29:28
  owned a CrossFit affiliate.
• 1:29:29
  Um,
• 1:29:30
  and I don't know if you know him from
• 1:29:31
  shark tank, uh,
• 1:29:32
  but that's the money there too.
• 1:29:38
  Uh,
• 1:29:38
  Larry will take gymnastics over cardio.
• 1:29:44
  And yeah, I did want to point this out.
• 1:29:46
  This is something Chris
• 1:29:47
  Cooper has been saying,
• 1:29:49
  that for CrossFit to
• 1:29:51
  succeed at this point,
• 1:29:53
  you need to focus on it as
• 1:29:54
  a movement and the sport second.
• 1:29:58
  And that's his opinion.
• 1:30:00
  I think you can do both,
• 1:30:04
  but the way they've
• 1:30:04
  attacked the sport has been
• 1:30:09
  It's way too much to get
• 1:30:10
  into at this point in the show.
• 1:30:11
  Maybe we'll talk about it another time,
• 1:30:13
  my feelings on that,
• 1:30:14
  or maybe I'll talk it on
• 1:30:15
  lunch show or something.
• 1:30:17
  But I think it could... Yeah.
• 1:30:25
  So then we have James Sprague,
• 1:30:29
  who had to do his
• 1:30:30
  punishment for open losses.
• 1:30:33
  And if you didn't see it...
• 1:30:36
  Oh, what did he do?
• 1:30:37
  It is.
• 1:30:38
  Oh, it's hilarious.
• 1:30:40
  The Minion Dance.
• 1:30:42
  Oh, no.
• 1:30:44
  Guys, this is Bob the Minion, a.k.a.
• 1:30:46
  James Fragg.
• 1:30:47
  Just took a loss in at
• 1:30:48
  twenty five point two.
• 1:30:50
  So I'll be performing Pink Pony Club here.
• 1:30:52
  Let's get it on.
• 1:31:03
  so I have to mute music at
• 1:31:04
  times or we will get dinged
• 1:31:06
  but um he had to dance to
• 1:31:08
  pink pony and he lip syncs
• 1:31:13
  I actually think he sings
• 1:31:14
  along a little bit a little
• 1:31:16
  bit but he gives it his all yeah
• 1:31:31
  Dude, his freaking quads are so jacked.
• 1:31:48
  There we go.
• 1:31:50
  So that is James and his loss and penalty.
• 1:31:56
  Sarah asks, who lost week three?
• 1:31:59
  Justin.
• 1:32:01
  He didn't know the workout.
• 1:32:02
  Yeah, exactly.
• 1:32:12
  Cross said, James is like weird jacked.
• 1:32:15
  Yeah, he really is.
• 1:32:16
  Like at first you're like,
• 1:32:18
  like you see him and Dillon
• 1:32:19
  and Dillon is just jacked.
• 1:32:21
  But like you see James like that,
• 1:32:23
  you're like, Jesus,
• 1:32:24
  he's actually freaking jacked.
• 1:32:26
  Well, he's six four like that.
• 1:32:28
  That's different than six one.
• 1:32:30
  That's the thing.
• 1:32:31
  It's hard to get that jacked.
• 1:32:32
  And he is.
• 1:32:36
  Justin is getting pink hair.
• 1:32:37
  No way.
• 1:32:38
  I knew it was supposed to be just the tips,
• 1:32:41
  like just the edge or the whole thing.
• 1:32:43
  I think it's the whole thing.
• 1:32:44
  Damn.
• 1:32:44
  Oh, boy.
• 1:32:46
  They were negotiating to a
• 1:32:48
  dye job as opposed to a shave.
• 1:32:50
  Okay.
• 1:32:51
  Yeah, he can't shave that.
• 1:32:52
  Yeah, I don't want to shave it.
• 1:32:53
  Because he was like, listen,
• 1:32:55
  you guys all have short hair.
• 1:32:56
  If you lost,
• 1:32:57
  you'd have it back in a month.
• 1:32:59
  Agreed.
• 1:33:00
  It would take me half a year
• 1:33:01
  to get back his trademark mullet.
• 1:33:03
  Yeah.
• 1:33:10
  Dallin and Jason look like
• 1:33:11
  former football players.
• 1:33:12
  James looks jacked,
• 1:33:14
  but he also still hasn't
• 1:33:15
  grown into his limbs like a child.
• 1:33:19
  Oh, no.
• 1:33:20
  Vi wants Justin to bleach it
• 1:33:23
  first so it gets really pink.
• 1:33:26
  Yeah, that's a big ask.
• 1:33:27
  All right.
• 1:33:30
  And then I have a couple more things here.
• 1:33:36
  On the spin,
• 1:33:37
  John Young predicted that Tia
• 1:33:39
  would retire after the Torian Pro.
• 1:33:43
  Thoughts?
• 1:33:47
  And then not continue with
• 1:33:48
  the CrossFit season?
• 1:33:50
  Correct.
• 1:33:51
  Hmm.
• 1:33:52
  I feeling do the Torian pro
• 1:33:54
  in Australia and call it a day.
• 1:33:56
  And then he said,
• 1:33:57
  move on to win high rocks.
• 1:34:01
  She does seem like she's
• 1:34:02
  invested in high rocks a little bit.
• 1:34:04
  I must say.
• 1:34:05
  Well,
• 1:34:05
  I think it's good for their business too.
• 1:34:09
  I wouldn't be surprised at all.
• 1:34:12
  Like she doesn't need to
• 1:34:13
  prove anything else in, in,
• 1:34:16
  in the CrossFit space.
• 1:34:17
  I feel like she could train two months,
• 1:34:20
  two months for the games
• 1:34:21
  and just come back and win easily.
• 1:34:23
  I think so.
• 1:34:24
  Maybe a month and a half.
• 1:34:28
  I think she's the type of
• 1:34:30
  athlete that likes challenges.
• 1:34:32
  She did Olympic lifting at the Olympics.
• 1:34:35
  She qualified the bobsled team.
• 1:34:38
  If she has a chance to do
• 1:34:41
  well in this sport here,
• 1:34:42
  I think this is something
• 1:34:43
  that's challenging her and
• 1:34:44
  keeping her hungry.
• 1:34:46
  I can't imagine what it's
• 1:34:47
  like winning seven times
• 1:34:51
  and still having that fire and
• 1:34:54
  and all that.
• 1:34:54
  So I think she just wants
• 1:34:56
  that challenged on the other side.
• 1:34:57
  And I think she's trying to
• 1:34:58
  go all in there right now.
• 1:35:01
  And I won't be surprised to
• 1:35:03
  have her not continue with the season.
• 1:35:05
  Um, if that's the case, uh, Fergie says,
• 1:35:10
  leave the shoes on home soil.
• 1:35:13
  And he's referring to,
• 1:35:15
  it's kind of a tradition,
• 1:35:16
  especially in the, in the,
• 1:35:17
  on the women's side of
• 1:35:19
  CrossFit that when you're done,
• 1:35:20
  you leave your shoes on the floor.
• 1:35:24
  I just don't know that.
• 1:35:26
  I don't know.
• 1:35:27
  I mean,
• 1:35:27
  I know she kind of had that
• 1:35:28
  retirement announcement,
• 1:35:29
  but I just feel like she
• 1:35:30
  doesn't actually want to retire.
• 1:35:32
  I just think she wants to do
• 1:35:33
  whatever she wants to do.
• 1:35:35
  Yeah, I don't.
• 1:35:36
  He says he has no evidence to this.
• 1:35:39
  It's a feeling he has.
• 1:35:41
  How old is she?
• 1:35:41
  Thirty thirty two.
• 1:35:44
  Yeah, something like that.
• 1:35:45
  The only unless like she
• 1:35:48
  want they want to have
• 1:35:48
  another kid like that's.
• 1:35:52
  even still I could see her
• 1:35:53
  coming back yeah I don't
• 1:35:56
  know I just wanted to get
• 1:35:57
  your opinion um the last
• 1:36:02
  thing I'm gonna say uh this
• 1:36:03
  is just I I watched the
• 1:36:05
  behind the scenes this week
• 1:36:06
  for episode four and five
• 1:36:09
  uh that they did at the
• 1:36:10
  games I've really enjoyed
• 1:36:12
  them this year because it I
• 1:36:14
  left the games with missing
• 1:36:16
  pieces in my mind and this
• 1:36:18
  has helped with some of the
• 1:36:19
  aspects of that
• 1:36:21
  Um,
• 1:36:22
  episode four really focused for the
• 1:36:24
  first time on,
• 1:36:25
  there were athletes that
• 1:36:26
  really wanted to be there
• 1:36:27
  and their athletes that
• 1:36:28
  really didn't want to be there.
• 1:36:30
  And you kind of see the split, uh,
• 1:36:33
  in episode four and it kind
• 1:36:34
  of shows that go down and not, not in a,
• 1:36:37
  like you're wrong for this
• 1:36:39
  or just them expressing how
• 1:36:41
  they're feeling.
• 1:36:42
  Um,
• 1:36:43
  And then episode five
• 1:36:45
  started with a really great
• 1:36:46
  talk from Luke Parker about
• 1:36:48
  his experiences with Lazar
• 1:36:50
  and how that helped him.
• 1:36:55
  Luke never didn't want to
• 1:36:57
  compete because of his
• 1:36:58
  relationship with Lazar,
• 1:37:00
  and he wanted to honor him
• 1:37:01
  and be able to do that
• 1:37:02
  throughout the weekend.
• 1:37:03
  He talks about the whys behind that,
• 1:37:06
  and it's really good.
• 1:37:08
  But the thing that this
• 1:37:09
  episode kind of pointed out to me,
• 1:37:10
  just like episode two
• 1:37:12
  showed the safety briefing
• 1:37:16
  at the opening briefing
• 1:37:18
  before the swim that I
• 1:37:20
  never knew occurred.
• 1:37:22
  Then this one showed Don
• 1:37:25
  Fall apologizing to the
• 1:37:27
  athletes for putting them
• 1:37:29
  in the position that they did.
• 1:37:33
  My problem with it is if the
• 1:37:35
  timeline is correct in the
• 1:37:36
  behind the scenes,
• 1:37:37
  that happened on Saturday evening.
• 1:37:41
  Most of the athletes who
• 1:37:42
  withdrew already left.
• 1:37:47
  If that's where you're going
• 1:37:48
  to do the apology, that was way late.
• 1:37:52
  And he says at the beginning of it,
• 1:37:53
  and he probably didn't know
• 1:37:55
  he was being filmed.
• 1:37:57
  And he says at the beginning of it,
• 1:37:59
  I'm sorry, we were busy with X, Y,
• 1:38:01
  and Z. And I get that you
• 1:38:04
  were busy because something
• 1:38:05
  tragic happened and you had
• 1:38:06
  to deal with that.
• 1:38:08
  But those athletes needed to
• 1:38:09
  hear from you that day,
• 1:38:14
  not a day and a half later.
• 1:38:19
  And so that's the only thing.
• 1:38:22
  So it's putting some pieces
• 1:38:23
  of the puzzle together for me.
• 1:38:26
  And I've said all along, listen,
• 1:38:28
  I've never been in a situation like that,
• 1:38:30
  that that's tragic.
• 1:38:31
  And to judge people on their
• 1:38:33
  worst day is never a good thing.
• 1:38:37
  But at least I'm starting to
• 1:38:39
  understand things and why
• 1:38:41
  people felt the way they did.
• 1:38:44
  And it just gives me a
• 1:38:45
  better understanding going forward.
• 1:38:49
  And so if you,
• 1:38:51
  if you have the opportunity to watch it,
• 1:38:52
  I think it's good to kind
• 1:38:54
  of fill in those pieces.
• 1:38:56
  Um,
• 1:38:56
  but it also has some lighthearted stuff
• 1:38:58
  in it as well.
• 1:38:59
  Like Alexis talking about
• 1:39:01
  miscounting her mile laps and they go,
• 1:39:05
  they talked to Brooke about,
• 1:39:06
  she was behind Alexis and was like,
• 1:39:09
  Oh my gosh, she's kicking now.
• 1:39:11
  Like I keep up with this.
• 1:39:14
  And, um,
• 1:39:16
  And so she backs off and
• 1:39:20
  they were just hoping that
• 1:39:21
  Alexis would die.
• 1:39:23
  And then they talked to her coach going,
• 1:39:24
  I saw her kick and I was like,
• 1:39:26
  she miscounted the laps.
• 1:39:28
  And she was still able to
• 1:39:30
  pull off that heat.
• 1:39:30
  That was crazy.
• 1:39:32
  It was unreal.
• 1:39:33
  And so that was really cool, too.
• 1:39:35
  There are some lighthearted,
• 1:39:37
  typical behind the scenes moments,
• 1:39:38
  but you also get some
• 1:39:39
  answers to some questions
• 1:39:41
  you may have had for the
• 1:39:43
  past nine months and at
• 1:39:45
  least have a better
• 1:39:46
  understanding of what went
• 1:39:48
  down and why people feel the way they do.
• 1:39:53
  So I just wanted to say that
• 1:39:57
  I think they've been very worthwhile.
• 1:39:58
  I was afraid to watch them
• 1:40:00
  because I was emotional at the games.
• 1:40:02
  I was emotional after the
• 1:40:03
  games and I didn't want to
• 1:40:05
  be taken all the way back there.
• 1:40:07
  But I think this has been
• 1:40:07
  good for me to finally have closure.
• 1:40:12
  If that makes sense to anybody.
• 1:40:18
  Julian says preach Scott.
• 1:40:20
  don't think I'm not trying
• 1:40:21
  to preach I'm just saying
• 1:40:23
  that I'm just glad I have
• 1:40:25
  some pieces to the puzzle
• 1:40:28
  and that I can move on from
• 1:40:31
  this finally because I like
• 1:40:35
  I have not been doing very
• 1:40:36
  many athlete interviews
• 1:40:37
  because I just don't know
• 1:40:38
  how to approach it in a way
• 1:40:41
  and so now it allows me to
• 1:40:42
  see what the athletes felt
• 1:40:44
  because they actually say
• 1:40:45
  it in episode four
• 1:40:48
  and in episode five you see
• 1:40:49
  kind of when things
• 1:40:50
  happened um and I do have
• 1:40:53
  someone scheduled not for
• 1:40:54
  this week but for the next
• 1:40:55
  week but we are going to
• 1:40:56
  have area low and on nice
• 1:40:59
  on not this wednesday but
• 1:41:00
  next wednesday and I'm
• 1:41:02
  working on some others too
• 1:41:04
  but with mayhem coming and
• 1:41:06
  the all the events coming
• 1:41:08
  it's hard to get people
• 1:41:09
  scheduled right now but I'm
• 1:41:10
  trying to do that
• 1:41:13
  yeah so look for the
• 1:41:14
  thumbnail hopefully you'll
• 1:41:15
  be up um ecaptures is
• 1:41:17
  trying to get me some
• 1:41:18
  photos for a thumbnail and
• 1:41:19
  then we'll get that up
• 1:41:21
  quickly and you'll see that
• 1:41:23
  out there for I think it's
• 1:41:24
  april third wednesday april
• 1:41:27
  third does that make sense
• 1:41:29
  the third is the is
• 1:41:31
  thursday april second then
• 1:41:33
  thursday april second
• 1:41:35
  wednesday april second
• 1:41:36
  wednesday april second
• 1:41:38
  And it's a four o'clock Eastern time,
• 1:41:41
  three o'clock central one
• 1:41:43
  o'clock Pacific.
• 1:41:46
  So, yep.
• 1:41:48
  Well,
• 1:41:48
  so we're going to get back into that too.
• 1:41:50
  Um, but yeah, Carolyn, will the,
• 1:41:55
  will a Canadian team ever
• 1:41:57
  win a cup again?
• 1:41:59
  I thought Edmonton was going
• 1:42:01
  to do it and then they didn't.
• 1:42:02
  I don't know.
• 1:42:03
  I hope the Habs can go on a
• 1:42:05
  little run here and make
• 1:42:06
  the playoffs and then surprise.
• 1:42:10
  Because I don't want the
• 1:42:11
  Leafs to be the next team,
• 1:42:12
  the next Canadian team to
• 1:42:15
  win a cup because I will
• 1:42:17
  never hear the end of it.
• 1:42:18
  Thank you, CrossFit.
• 1:42:19
  It is second of April, Wednesday.
• 1:42:21
  That is when the interview is.
• 1:42:25
  Yeah,
• 1:42:26
  I think a Canadian team will win the
• 1:42:27
  cup again for sure.
• 1:42:29
  Edmonton has the talent.
• 1:42:31
  It's just,
• 1:42:32
  can they put it together for a season?
• 1:42:37
  Well, with that,
• 1:42:38
  that's all the quick hit
• 1:42:38
  news we had for the week.
• 1:42:40
  Do you guys have anything
• 1:42:41
  before we say goodbye?
• 1:42:43
  I gotta go pack.
• 1:42:46
  We'll have a blast on your vacation.
• 1:42:49
  I will.
• 1:42:52
  I won't text you because I
• 1:42:53
  don't want you to get overseas fees.
• 1:42:55
  I don't, I don't know what,
• 1:42:59
  What am I playing?
• 1:43:00
  I don't know.
• 1:43:00
  I feel like phone plans now
• 1:43:03
  include international.
• 1:43:04
  Maybe not.
• 1:43:06
  I don't know.
• 1:43:07
  I'm sure.
• 1:43:08
  Carolyn,
• 1:43:08
  I just go through Instagram
• 1:43:09
  because I don't want any fees.
• 1:43:13
  I'm sure I'll be on Snapchat.
• 1:43:17
  All right, guys.
