  Midday motivation every time you press

  Cowboy, bring the heat.

  Half-hour hustle, yeah,

  New theme song.

  I like it.

  It's fantastic.
• 1:05
  It's fantastic.
• 1:08
  I feel like the same person that wrote
• 1:10
  Jenny wrote art,
• 1:12
  so it came out pretty good.
• 1:16
  Yeah, I messed around with it, with AI,
• 1:21
  different stuff to it.
• 1:22
  That's what it came up with.
• 1:23
  Dude, I like it.
• 1:26
  I dig it.
• 1:30
  Cool.
• 1:31
  Got a lot of people in the house

  Yep.
• 1:52
  It's good news, man.

• 1:55
  finally ready to go um wild experience
• 2:01
  yesterday so hopefully hopefully it all
• 2:06
  stays there it's supposed to be how are
• 2:09
  you feeling uh cowboy i'm feeling pretty
• 2:17
  good i'm up that this thing is still
• 2:19
  echoing when i talk yeah
• 2:24
  We got to figure it.
• 2:25
  We got to figure it out.
• 2:30
  So I don't know.
• 2:31
  Maybe you'd have to go back to the
• 2:32
  old mixer.
• 2:35
  Cause this, this is not working real good.
• 2:38
  No, it's choppy at best.
• 2:44
  Revert.
• 2:44
  You got to revert that.
• 2:48
  Nope.
• 2:49
  Bro.
• 2:51
  Could be all the electricity in my body.
• 2:58
  Kenneth DeLapp was fine yesterday.
• 2:59
  I blame Corey.
• 3:01
  I'll take that look.
• 3:02
  That's fine.
• 3:11
  Brayden, did your workouts get dropped?
• 3:15
  Yesterday.
• 3:19
  It's been a couple days.
• 3:21
  I have no idea what day it is.
• 3:24
  Monday.
• 3:25
  Monday night.
• 3:27
  Yeah,
• 3:28
  they've been putting them out a couple at
• 3:30
  a time, usually with missing information.
• 3:33
  Yeah.
• 3:36
  They still have missing information on one
• 3:37
  of them, so there's that.
• 3:42
  Probably trying to figure them out.
• 3:48
  I have a rip for that whole business.
• 3:52
  I just don't know when I want to
• 3:53
  launch it.
• 3:59
  so let me ask you this you weren't
• 4:03
  here yesterday monday mayhem um what do
• 4:12
  you have any thoughts because you didn't
• 4:13
  get a chance to talk about it anything
• 4:15
  about me uh i did not see victor
• 4:20
  hoffer coming
• 4:23
  How about that?
• 4:23
  Let's start off with that.
• 4:24
  I did not see that coming at all.
• 4:26
  That was fun to watch, honestly.
• 4:30
  Good on him.
• 4:32
  I thought the production was very well put
• 4:34
  together.
• 4:35
  The workouts were all, you know,
• 4:37
  pretty fun to watch.
• 4:39
  The post-production stuff that he did for
• 4:41
  the, the five K with the was insane.
• 4:46
  just to turn around time in general and
• 4:47
  then have it be that,
• 4:48
  that amount of quality.
• 4:50
  Uh, shout out to my boy,
• 4:53
  Carlos bone of bone media.
• 4:55
  He's one of the guys that was working
• 4:56
  on that.
• 4:57
  Um, he said he pulled two all nighters,
• 4:59
  like putting stuff together,
• 5:00
  which he hadn't done in forever.
• 5:01
  Oh, Gwen was absolutely insane to watch.
• 5:10
  I know everybody's been saying it,
• 5:12
  but I haven't had a chance to say
• 5:13
  it yet.
• 5:13
  So Gwen was absolutely insane to watch.
• 5:16
  Just the drama that it made because of
• 5:21
  the way it was put out there,
• 5:23
  the way it inherently carried drama with
• 5:25
  it just because of the strategy and then
• 5:29
  the people failing reps at basically the
• 5:32
  last possible second.
• 5:37
  save, if you want to call it that,
• 5:40
  that day.
• 5:41
  I think Rich had it right.
• 5:42
  Like,
• 5:42
  I can't not give her that rep just
• 5:44
  because of that, you know,
• 5:45
  popping that thing up and catching it and
• 5:47
  whatnot.
• 5:48
  Like,
• 5:49
  we can bend the rules a little bit,
• 5:50
  I believe,
• 5:50
  for that one because that was... So, yeah,
• 5:55
  no, I enjoyed the shit out of it.
• 5:58
  There's something shorting out with your
• 6:00
  stuff.
• 6:01
  Because when I'm not talking,
• 6:03
  it's confusing.
• 6:03
  And I think it's a cable that's probably
• 6:12
  not good.
• 6:12
  Let me try something.
• 6:19
  Daniel Arnson, clean rep,
• 6:20
  get out of here with that.
• 6:22
  I agree.
• 6:23
  I listened to the Mayhem podcast this
• 6:25
  morning, and this is going to be tough.
• 6:37
  I'm going to mute Corey for a second.
• 6:39
  Yeah, that's better for me.
• 6:41
  I watched Mayhem podcast this morning and
• 6:45
  Rich talked about how
• 6:48
  The judges were briefed on that.
• 6:50
  The judge letting it go was a good
• 6:52
  thing.
• 6:53
  And his determination was she didn't gain
• 6:57
  an advantage with that.
• 6:58
  In fact, it made it more difficult.
• 7:00
  It was a great thing.
• 7:02
  And it actually was a good demonstration
• 7:05
  of a person who was so well prepared
• 7:08
  for the unknown and the unknowable that
• 7:11
  she was able to pop that back on
• 7:13
  to her hand and finish the rap.
• 7:17
  And I agree with his sentiment on that.
• 7:20
  I think it was an amazing job by
• 7:24
  her.
• 7:24
  Yeah.
• 7:24
  A hundred percent.
• 7:25
  A hundred percent.
• 7:25
  I mean, you can't, you can't ask.
• 7:33
  Yeah.
• 7:43
  I, again, Corey, I can barely hear you.
• 7:46
  like cutting in and out.
• 7:49
  And it sounds like there's a cable not...
• 7:53
  Everything's plugged in like it's supposed
• 8:02
  to be.
• 8:02
  Chad,
• 8:02
  I knew because it was an athletic move.
• 8:05
  It doesn't make it to standard...
• 8:09
  But I am telling you,
• 8:10
  as a judge for the amount of years
• 8:12
  that I was a judge,
• 8:13
  there is no way that what happened with
• 8:15
  her was briefed with the judging or judges
• 8:20
  and was not briefed with her.
• 8:22
  And then it was good to let her
• 8:24
  go from that side and then figure it
• 8:30
  out afterwards.
• 8:32
  I'm glad they didn't go, Ripper.
• 8:34
  I'm glad it came down to that decision.
• 8:37
  I could see it either way,
• 8:39
  but there's no way it could have been
• 8:41
  briefed.
• 8:42
  No, the re grip thing.
• 8:45
  Sure.
• 8:46
  Absolutely.
• 8:47
  But if your hand comes all the way
• 8:48
  off and you're able to pop it back
• 8:50
  onto your hand, that that's,
• 8:53
  you can go over some briefings that are
• 8:57
  off into the weeds.
• 9:00
  Yeah.
• 9:15
  i don't know i'm gonna just try with
• 9:19
  the computer
• 9:48
  Can't hear you at all.
• 10:18
  Or take,
• 10:18
  is that how it was brief that you
• 10:19
  get allowed to regroup?
• 10:20
  You just couldn't rest it and hip crease.
• 10:22
  I knew Rich had said the hang was
• 10:24
  okay.
• 10:27
  Like you rest in the hang as long
• 10:28
  as you weren't leaning back,
• 10:29
  which is probably why they got Saxon
• 10:32
  whenever they, you know,
• 10:36
  he got his newer up.
• 10:38
  I'm just wondering if this is how it
• 10:39
  was that you could regroup.
• 10:40
  You just couldn't rest in the hip crease.
• 10:46
  Say something Scott.
• 10:48
  So I'm back with a computer mic.
• 10:49
  I can hear you.
• 10:56
  I'm still getting some echo through my
• 10:59
  laptop.
• 11:02
  So that kind of proves it's got to
• 11:04
  be on your end.
• 11:09
  But anyway,
• 11:11
  either decision would have been fine.
• 11:13
  It is what it is.
• 11:16
  It was a great athletic move.
• 11:19
  She did something amazing,
• 11:20
  and I'm glad that we got to see
• 11:22
  that.
• 11:25
  The other thing I thought was an
• 11:27
  interesting thing from the podcast this
• 11:29
  morning was they used electric cars to
• 11:33
  film the runners going up the mountain
• 11:36
  because Rich didn't want to have the
• 11:45
  exhaust...
• 11:47
  Have to be breathed in by the runners.
• 11:53
  So I thought that was pretty cool and
• 11:56
  and pretty thoughtful on his fault and on
• 11:59
  his part.
• 12:01
  To do that so he.
• 12:04
  So because he probably experienced that at
• 12:06
  one time.
• 12:11
  The E mock Mustangs.
• 12:12
  They were cool and Bella was hanging out
• 12:14
  the window.
• 12:20
  so there we go yeah um guys it's
• 12:33
  so much my headphones are my or the
• 12:35
  the mixer one or two i'll get some
• 12:37
  new ones anyway what are you saying
• 12:42
  Just that they used the electric vehicles
• 12:44
  so that the runners didn't have to get
• 12:47
  exhaust.
• 12:48
  Exhaust fumes, breathing exhaust fumes.
• 12:50
  Yeah, I mean, that's pretty thoughtful.
• 12:54
  And let's be honest,
• 12:55
  Haley was damn near inside the thing,
• 12:57
  so she either got all the exhaust fumes
• 12:58
  or wowed how close that they were.
• 13:04
  So that was Mayhem.
• 13:06
  Any other thoughts before we leave that?
• 13:09
  no no not at all i mean i
• 13:11
  enjoyed it the entire weekend uh i thought
• 13:15
  rich was fantastic on the mic um he
• 13:19
  he was talking about it like somebody
• 13:21
  who's been there which i know he has
• 13:23
  been but he was speaking on it like
• 13:25
  somebody who's been there which is
• 13:28
  You know,
• 13:29
  all you can ask for and really and
• 13:30
  truly.
• 13:31
  I do feel like the voice of the
• 13:34
  CrossFit Games is a little underutilized
• 13:36
  because Rich and Austin kind of were
• 13:40
  talking over him at several different
• 13:43
  points.
• 13:44
  But it was nice to hear O'Shaughnessy back
• 13:47
  on the mic.
• 13:50
  i'm going to try the mic again and
• 13:52
  we don't have an echo so we're going
• 13:55
  to figure it out off hours sometime yeah
• 13:57
  not a big deal um so i want
• 14:02
  to get to legends legends is coming up
• 14:04
  this weekend before we get into my little
• 14:07
  riff um this came out yesterday i got
• 14:12
  more details
• 14:15
  To be able to watch it,
• 14:16
  you're going to have to go to Flow
• 14:20
  Elite.
• 14:21
  We're going back ten years in time where
• 14:25
  you have to subscribe to Flow Elite if
• 14:27
  you want to watch any part of Legends.
• 14:31
  That's going to be the following week as
• 14:34
  well at Magic City.
• 14:36
  They're going to be on Flow Elite.
• 14:42
  And I think if it's what makes it
• 14:45
  economical for us to see these events and
• 14:48
  that's what they have to do,
• 14:50
  I'm okay with it.
• 14:51
  I do think the pricing at Flow Elite
• 14:53
  is pure insanity.
• 14:56
  Yeah.
• 14:57
  I think if we could get someone like
• 15:00
  Siobhan to do Legends like they are and
• 15:03
  pay ten dollars for an event or five
• 15:07
  dollars for an event,
• 15:08
  it would be much easier for people to
• 15:10
  stomach.
• 15:11
  Thirty dollars a month to subscribe to a
• 15:16
  broadcasting stream is a little much for
• 15:19
  me.
• 15:22
  But it is what it is.
• 15:25
  I did get confirmation that all heats will
• 15:29
  be broadcast,
• 15:31
  including the Masters divisions.
• 15:34
  So if you're a fan or a friend
• 15:37
  of a Masters athlete who's competing at
• 15:40
  Legends,
• 15:41
  you get to see them because they are
• 15:44
  going to broadcast every heat.
• 15:46
  The Sevon podcast is going to do select
• 15:50
  heats.
• 15:53
  I would imagine they're going to do the
• 15:54
  Elites.
• 15:56
  So,
• 15:57
  or if you see something like Scott
• 15:59
  Panczyk, they may do those,
• 16:02
  something like that, right?
• 16:03
  Yeah.
• 16:05
  Yeah,
• 16:05
  they're not going to get off into the
• 16:07
  weeds on a fifty-fifty-four.
• 16:09
  Savant has absolutely no idea who any of
• 16:11
  those people are.
• 16:14
  And neither does any of his crew.
• 16:15
  And that's fine.
• 16:16
  We don't expect us to be known by
• 16:18
  those people.
• 16:19
  But what Dilap's saying right there is it
• 16:24
  is cheaper than to buy an in-person
• 16:26
  ticket.
• 16:28
  So there's that.
• 16:29
  I got a bunch of friends that,
• 16:30
  you know,
• 16:31
  when they found out I was going to
• 16:32
  Birmingham, were like, man,
• 16:33
  I wish I could go,
• 16:34
  I wish I could go,
• 16:34
  I wish I could go.
• 16:35
  And I was like, dude,
• 16:35
  Birmingham's expensive.
• 16:36
  You know,
• 16:39
  between getting there and then staying
• 16:40
  there and having to eat and all that
• 16:42
  other stuff.
• 16:42
  Or you can give Floyd Lee thirty dollars,
• 16:44
  have a month of their programming or
• 16:47
  whatnot and just sit at home and cheer,
• 16:50
  you know,
• 16:51
  cheer from the comfort of your home,
• 16:53
  as it were.
• 16:55
  What I am curious about is like,
• 16:57
  What's the camera setup going to look
• 16:58
  like?
• 16:59
  Is it going to be one static camera
• 17:01
  on the entire field or do I have
• 17:04
  multiples or whatnot?
• 17:05
  I have absolutely no idea.
• 17:07
  I never played for Fluid Elite when they
• 17:08
  were doing... Waterpalooza.
• 17:12
  Waterpalooza, no,
• 17:13
  because it was ridiculous back then still.
• 17:16
  And I didn't know enough about it at
• 17:17
  the time to even want to watch
• 17:18
  Waterpalooza,
• 17:19
  much less behind the paywall.
• 17:20
  And...
• 17:22
  Back then,
• 17:22
  I also heard that it was buffering and
• 17:25
  it was really hard to watch and all
• 17:27
  that stuff.
• 17:27
  Now, like you said,
• 17:28
  it's been almost ten years since they've
• 17:30
  done that.
• 17:32
  The price hasn't changed.
• 17:34
  The price is the same as it was
• 17:38
  back then.
• 17:41
  Skipping in here, putting like one ADP.
• 17:43
  The picture was fine.
• 17:45
  The coverage was not great.
• 17:47
  They are not...
• 17:50
  They are not CrossFit broadcasters.
• 17:52
  Right.
• 17:54
  If they're using Savan to do some of
• 17:56
  this,
• 17:57
  then I trust that that team will be
• 18:00
  able to broadcast it much better than Flow
• 18:02
  Elite used to.
• 18:03
  Yeah.
• 18:06
  But CrossFit is not something Flow Elite
• 18:09
  normally does.
• 18:10
  And I don't know what happens in the
• 18:12
  heats that Savan is not broadcasting.
• 18:17
  That's what I don't know.
• 18:18
  It wasn't that the picture was bad or
• 18:20
  that it was buffering.
• 18:22
  They just didn't know how to cover the
• 18:23
  sport.
• 18:25
  So they weren't in the right place at
• 18:28
  the right time to see the things you
• 18:30
  wanted to see.
• 18:30
  Yeah,
• 18:32
  it would be like me going and trying
• 18:33
  to cover a hockey match.
• 18:34
  I have absolutely no idea what's happening
• 18:35
  right now.
• 18:37
  I'm just going to put the camera where
• 18:38
  I think the puck might be.
• 18:39
  I have no idea.
• 18:41
  I wouldn't know what to do.
• 18:44
  Hopefully they've learned.
• 18:48
  at this point i know um one of
• 18:50
  jeff's best friends her daughter does uh
• 18:52
  dance competitions and whatnot and like
• 18:54
  that's broke has something fully so they
• 18:56
  have a they already have a subscription or
• 18:58
  whatnot and she uses it to watch it
• 19:01
  on a fairly regular basis so i mean
• 19:04
  they're still around they're still doing
• 19:05
  stuff obviously after all this time
• 19:07
  pricing like you said has not changed
• 19:09
  still thirty dollars a month unless you
• 19:10
  want to pay for the entire year which
• 19:12
  please don't do that anybody
• 19:14
  Um, not just, not just for, you know,
• 19:17
  one event or two events.
• 19:18
  It's kind of crazy.
• 19:20
  During the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
• 19:21
  the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
• 19:25
  the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
• 19:28
  the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
• 19:30
  the, the,
• 19:45
  Yeah.
• 19:49
  Shanna,
• 19:49
  the programming at Legends is insane for
• 19:51
  older masters.
• 19:53
  No advanced gymnastics.
• 19:54
  Handstand walk, bar muscle-up, or ramp?
• 19:58
  No.
• 19:58
  Ring muscle-ups.
• 20:00
  Or handstand push-ups.
• 20:02
  I know.
• 20:03
  I've beaten that dead horse a lot.
• 20:06
  Also, fifty-five plus,
• 20:08
  only doing four events.
• 20:11
  Which is just stupid.
• 20:14
  Who would pay?
• 20:16
  All of that money to do four events.
• 20:20
  Not me.
• 20:23
  Not me.
• 20:24
  That's bananas crazy.
• 20:29
  All the,
• 20:29
  just the expense of getting there.
• 20:32
  Paying the registration fee,
• 20:33
  getting there, getting a hotel, Airbnb,
• 20:36
  whatever it takes,
• 20:37
  maybe food for the entire weekend and for
• 20:39
  four events.
• 20:40
  Also,
• 20:40
  you're using four events to get people to
• 20:43
  the CrossFit Games.
• 20:44
  It might be the Masters CrossFit Games,
• 20:46
  but it's still the CrossFit Games.
• 20:50
  You just can go up there, open scores,
• 20:52
  if you're going to do that.
• 20:56
  Amanda, four events over three days.
• 21:00
  Yep.
• 21:01
  Not only are we only letting you do
• 21:02
  four events,
• 21:03
  but we're making you stay here and get
• 21:06
  four nights,
• 21:06
  five nights of a hotel room because we're
• 21:09
  going to stretch them out.
• 21:11
  Yeah.
• 21:13
  That's wild, dude.
• 21:16
  And not wild in a fun way by
• 21:18
  any stretch of the imagination.
• 21:20
  Also, some of the scaling...
• 21:24
  I don't want to get off into these.
• 21:26
  I'm just,
• 21:26
  this is going to give me a headache.
• 21:28
  I'm not going anyway.
• 21:29
  I'm going to Birmingham.
• 21:29
  So good luck, everybody.
• 21:31
  I know that's going to go into legends.
• 21:35
  Um, so yeah.
• 21:37
  Uh, so on the legends, I got word.
• 21:42
  If people have not been following us,
• 21:44
  I have a photographer, uh,
• 21:47
  Ishma captures.
• 21:49
  He does great work.
• 21:51
  He is what gives me all those pictures
• 21:54
  that we collaborate together on.
• 21:56
  He helped me with the Hattie Cano
• 21:59
  documentary,
• 22:00
  doing all the video stuff with that.
• 22:04
  Took pictures at the games for me last
• 22:06
  year.
• 22:07
  It's been awesome.
• 22:10
  For the first time in three years,
• 22:14
  we have been denied media access to an
• 22:17
  event.
• 22:21
  First time in three years.
• 22:25
  I cannot get a photographer in to Legends.
• 22:33
  The response I got back
• 22:36
  from the event organizer was with the
• 22:38
  amount of internal media,
• 22:40
  supporting sponsor media,
• 22:43
  and previously approved external teams
• 22:46
  already committed before opening
• 22:49
  applications to the public,
• 22:52
  you're unable to accommodate you.
• 22:55
  So they filled who they wanted there
• 23:01
  before they even made it public.
• 23:05
  to apply for a media credential.
• 23:10
  Now I would argue that nobody covers
• 23:15
  masters athletes as much as I do.
• 23:18
  It's not even close.
• 23:21
  The only other people I know that cover
• 23:23
  them are CJ and Claire.
• 23:25
  Correct.
• 23:27
  Other than that,
• 23:29
  We cover them as much, if not more,
• 23:32
  than everybody.
• 23:34
  I did an eleven-part documentary at the
• 23:37
  twenty-four age group CrossFit Games.
• 23:42
  The next year,
• 23:42
  I got the same access as Spectator got.
• 23:48
  Two years ago,
• 23:49
  you interviewed how many Masters athletes
• 23:51
  going to the Games?
• 23:53
  I don't know.
• 23:54
  A ton.
• 23:55
  Most of them?
• 23:56
  Let's go with most of them.
• 23:58
  Most of them got at least a half
• 23:59
  hour interview on this channel right here
• 24:02
  to highlight them because they were in
• 24:03
  fact going to the CrossFit Games,
• 24:06
  despite the fact that they were forty
• 24:07
  seven years old or whatever.
• 24:08
  I don't.
• 24:11
  Yeah.
• 24:11
  And last year at the games,
• 24:13
  I did get them in touch with a
• 24:15
  media school in Columbus where they could
• 24:17
  use interns for part of the broadcast and
• 24:21
  got them hooked up with a cheaper
• 24:23
  broadcast option.
• 24:25
  than what was previously available.
• 24:31
  Yet, my one photographer can't come.
• 24:40
  He's there all the time.
• 24:41
  He's at every Legends event, by the way.
• 24:47
  He was at Legends,
• 24:48
  the one I just went to.
• 24:49
  He was there the year before that as
• 24:51
  well.
• 24:53
  Well,
• 24:53
  where I met Shanna was at Legends twenty
• 24:57
  four, twenty three, twenty three,
• 24:59
  December of twenty three.
• 25:01
  And I interviewed I'd interviewed so many
• 25:04
  people at that Legends.
• 25:05
  And after it was over,
• 25:07
  I interviewed every champion of every age
• 25:10
  group.
• 25:12
  So I met Shanna.
• 25:13
  So I met Denise.
• 25:15
  It's how I've met all these Masters
• 25:17
  athletes and got to know them.
• 25:20
  I don't know if any other media outlet
• 25:22
  could tell you who won the games at
• 25:25
  every age group like I could.
• 25:27
  No.
• 25:29
  And for the fact that we got denied
• 25:33
  one position.
• 25:36
  One dude.
• 25:38
  One dude with a camera.
• 25:42
  One dude with a camera.
• 25:44
  And they wonder why people turn against
• 25:46
  them.
• 25:52
  It is so much.
• 25:53
  It has turned so much into this is
• 25:56
  our show and we get to run it
• 25:58
  however we want and be damned everybody
• 26:03
  else.
• 26:04
  Be damned programming.
• 26:06
  We used to be strength athletes,
• 26:08
  so we're going to make this as hard
• 26:10
  as hell for anybody who's a gymnast.
• 26:15
  When we scale as we move up through
• 26:17
  the age groups,
• 26:18
  we're going to reduce the gymnastics.
• 26:21
  By a lot.
• 26:25
  It is freaking unbelievable that we can't
• 26:30
  get one person into Walmart.
• 26:32
  One dude.
• 26:33
  One dude.
• 26:40
  I don't understand it.
• 26:41
  I do not understand it.
• 26:43
  I don't understand most of it.
• 26:44
  That part really is unbelievably
• 26:47
  frustrating.
• 26:50
  I had lost my shit last night.
• 26:53
  Oh, I'd imagine.
• 26:54
  When I found this out.
• 27:00
  So Ishmael bought a ticket.
• 27:03
  He's going to try to get pictures as
• 27:07
  a spectator.
• 27:17
  Jody used the best word, infuriating.
• 27:23
  That's infuriating.
• 27:28
  Lito nails it.
• 27:29
  It's just Bob and Joe's private party.
• 27:31
  How sad they're responsible for actual
• 27:33
  Masters games.
• 27:37
  By all accounts,
• 27:38
  Bob has actually stepped back,
• 27:40
  and it's Joe's show at this point.
• 27:44
  I've heard that from multiple different
• 27:46
  people.
• 27:47
  I have heard that as well.
• 27:49
  But, like, come on, dude.
• 27:52
  I don't understand the logic behind it.
• 27:54
  I really, really don't.
• 27:55
  Like, I get it.
• 27:56
  You're selling your own media stuff.
• 27:57
  You're going to have people,
• 27:58
  cameras there, blah, blah, blah, whatever.
• 28:00
  I'm looking at a photographer.
• 28:03
  A photographer who is there specifically
• 28:05
  to cover the masters,
• 28:07
  which is the majority of the people you're
• 28:09
  going to have over there.
• 28:11
  That's why he's there,
• 28:11
  to take pictures for them.
• 28:15
  and AI, they can have their party,
• 28:17
  no one will show up.
• 28:18
  The problem is they're qualifying people
• 28:21
  to the games and HQ let them qualify
• 28:25
  elites to the games now.
• 28:31
  Yep.
• 28:33
  It just boggles my freaking mind.
• 28:37
  How are they allowed to continue to run
• 28:43
  these high-level events?
• 28:55
  I want Magic City to succeed so bad,
• 28:59
  so bad, where CrossFit goes, hey,
• 29:02
  maybe we need to go in another direction.
• 29:08
  or whatever MFC's got going,
• 29:10
  got in the works.
• 29:11
  I hope it blows up at this point.
• 29:14
  And I still have a bad taste in
• 29:15
  my mouth from my last,
• 29:17
  but at this point, what could it hurt?
• 29:23
  John George,
• 29:24
  are they programming the games and semis?
• 29:26
  I have heard they are programming the
• 29:28
  games, but I do not know about semifinals.
• 29:34
  No clue.
• 29:40
  Already Magic City workouts are looking
• 29:41
  more exciting.
• 29:42
  They are.
• 29:45
  I'm excited.
• 29:46
  I'm waiting for them to actually drop all
• 29:47
  the actual standards,
• 29:48
  not just the hints and whatnot that they
• 29:51
  put out.
• 29:52
  We're supposed to be getting them today.
• 29:55
  But yeah,
• 29:57
  every time they put something out right
• 29:59
  now, I'm like, I made the right choice.
• 30:04
  This is the one I want to go
• 30:05
  to.
• 30:05
  This is the one I'm going to.
• 30:07
  So every time they put something out,
• 30:08
  I'm like, hell yeah,
• 30:09
  I like this a lot.
• 30:12
  Ken Walters,
• 30:12
  nineteen ninety nine towards your
• 30:15
  photographer's ticket.
• 30:16
  Jesus legends get your shit together.
• 30:21
  Amen, brother.
• 30:22
  Thank you so much.
• 30:28
  Is that why they have all the three
• 30:29
  hundreds?
• 30:31
  because people don't want to go or because
• 30:34
  they can't figure out how to invite people
• 30:37
  um it's probably a little bit of both
• 30:40
  Mark um a lot of people turn this
• 30:43
  stuff down we've had this discussion um a
• 30:46
  couple different times like a lot of
• 30:47
  people start trying stuff down because
• 30:50
  they got kids that are in sports right
• 30:52
  now and they don't want to miss stuff
• 30:53
  and like
• 30:56
  or just not flying all the way to
• 30:57
  California just to go to Legends.
• 31:00
  You know, Del Mar,
• 31:01
  the venue itself be damned.
• 31:02
  They're just not going all the way out
• 31:04
  there.
• 31:04
  So I feel like it's a little bit
• 31:05
  of both at this point.
• 31:08
  We have the same stuff going on in
• 31:10
  Magic City.
• 31:11
  I don't think it's as much as Legends.
• 31:12
  Honestly,
• 31:13
  I haven't really compared it to as far
• 31:14
  as that's concerned because I've got
• 31:16
  people that I know are going over there,
• 31:18
  people that I care about, respect,
• 31:21
  and whatnot are going over there,
• 31:22
  and I wish them all the best,
• 31:23
  but I am glad I'm going to Birmingham.
• 31:28
  What I'll say is this.
• 31:30
  I have talked to several Masters athletes
• 31:33
  who are done participating as long as Joe
• 31:36
  and Bob are in.
• 31:41
  I can see that.
• 31:43
  That have given up on or not even
• 31:45
  competing in the season this year because
• 31:48
  they're running the games.
• 31:52
  I didn't hear a whole lot of positive
• 31:53
  stories coming out of the games last year.
• 31:56
  Or games.
• 31:56
  The Masters games.
• 31:58
  And it goes back to everything is power,
• 32:02
  output, and strength that they program.
• 32:05
  And so you get there,
• 32:07
  and it was clipped by Hiller from Sunday
• 32:10
  Show.
• 32:11
  All these monsters win those events where
• 32:16
  it's all power, output, and strength.
• 32:19
  And then you're frustrated as a natural
• 32:22
  athlete trying to compete against this.
• 32:27
  And whether you can win other workouts
• 32:30
  becomes irrelevant because you're so far
• 32:34
  behind because these TRT and the whole
• 32:40
  medicine cabinet athletes are
• 32:43
  outperforming you at the games.
• 32:46
  And there's no way to compete because
• 32:48
  they're not natural and the programming
• 32:51
  lends itself to those people.
• 32:56
  My wife asked me the other day if
• 32:58
  there was going to, uh,
• 32:59
  or I think my son asked me first
• 33:01
  and then Jennifer said,
• 33:02
  I don't know if they were going to
• 33:04
  test, uh, drug test us in Birmingham.
• 33:07
  And I said, I hope to God,
• 33:08
  I wish they would.
• 33:09
  I wish somebody would drug test me.
• 33:11
  Please do.
• 33:13
  Said it a million times.
• 33:15
  I, I,
• 33:15
  I aspire to be fit enough to where
• 33:17
  people accuse me of being on fucking
• 33:19
  theory or whatever,
• 33:20
  like any kind of performance enhancing,
• 33:22
  whatever.
• 33:23
  Ken Walters doesn't like the boycotting.
• 33:26
  I didn't like when elites did it to
• 33:27
  Dave, but it's their choice.
• 33:29
  I don't think they're,
• 33:30
  they're the people I'm talking to are not
• 33:32
  making a political statement.
• 33:34
  They're not,
• 33:36
  they're not publicly coming out and saying
• 33:38
  I'm out or anything like that.
• 33:41
  They just don't want to waste their money
• 33:43
  to go to a competition that,
• 33:49
  that is all power output and strength
• 33:51
  based.
• 33:54
  They're just not going to your money.
• 33:58
  It's not a percent dude.
• 33:59
  The, the, their chest,
• 34:01
  the bar sandbag workout or my age group,
• 34:04
  the thirties, thirties,
• 34:05
  thirties thing that they programmed when
• 34:06
  it gets down to Jamie's and mines,
• 34:10
  instead of they could in grand total,
• 34:14
  they cut twenty reps off the chest of
• 34:16
  bar and five off the sandbag.
• 34:19
  That's not balanced.
• 34:22
  You're going to scale it down and
• 34:23
  understand, but that is not balanced.
• 34:26
  You just cut four times as many.
• 34:29
  Pull-ups for older athletes,
• 34:33
  those are a basic movement for most of
• 34:36
  these athletes.
• 34:37
  And to cut it down is just ridiculous.
• 34:41
  Lito said programming at the games was
• 34:42
  shockingly bad.
• 34:43
  I enjoyed the experience,
• 34:44
  but I'm not looking forward to seeing this
• 34:46
  year's programming.
• 34:48
  Carol Revo,
• 34:50
  they better drug test this weekend.
• 34:52
  I wonder if that's why a lot of
• 34:53
  masters didn't choose to go to online,
• 34:56
  to go to in-person semifinals.
• 35:00
  Do the online and continue to juice.
• 35:02
  No risk of getting tested.
• 35:06
  Bro, she's got a solid point.
• 35:10
  She has a solid point.
• 35:13
  It's a fifty pound bag for my age
• 35:14
  group.
• 35:15
  Ridiculous.
• 35:20
  I just looked at the programming.
• 35:30
  Yeah.
• 35:35
  A competition that is supposed to find the
• 35:37
  fittest and it's not well balanced.
• 35:41
  Not only is it not well balanced,
• 35:43
  it's not balanced.
• 35:45
  Yes, fifty five plus.
• 35:47
  They treat like they're in a nursing home.
• 35:49
  It's so odd.
• 35:51
  And I think this is what happened because
• 35:54
  they had to invite three eighty.
• 35:57
  They're programming for three eighty and
• 35:59
  not for one.
• 36:00
  That's insane.
• 36:04
  That's a basic programming tenant.
• 36:05
  But they have never programmed gymnastics
• 36:08
  for one.
• 36:08
  No, never.
• 36:11
  No.
• 36:16
  Did they say if the winners at Mayhem
• 36:18
  were tested?
• 36:19
  All finalists who qualify for the games
• 36:22
  are tested.
• 36:24
  And usually a few more.
• 36:28
  So the next person has already been
• 36:31
  tested.
• 36:32
  Yeah, copy of bases.
• 36:35
  So like if three make it to the
• 36:36
  games, Amanda, it's usually like four,
• 36:39
  five, and six are two.
• 36:48
  Daniel,
• 36:48
  after checking out the programming, says,
• 36:50
  it looks like a bunch of bros came
• 36:52
  together and just threw crap at the
• 36:53
  whiteboard.
• 37:01
  Copa Sur is very power-based as well,
• 37:03
  and two lifting events.
• 37:04
  And what is Copa Sur known for?
• 37:06
  A hundred percent, dude.
• 37:08
  That's the first thing I thought of when
• 37:09
  I saw it the other day.
• 37:11
  I was like, well, this tracks.
• 37:13
  This makes sense.
• 37:14
  This makes perfect sense.
• 37:16
  They're just programming to the base.
• 37:20
  Just, yeah, I mean,
• 37:21
  program it to your crowd.
• 37:25
  Ken Walters, but Mark,
• 37:26
  most nursing homes serve great
• 37:27
  butterscotch pudding.
• 37:28
  So I've heard.
• 37:30
  So I've heard.
• 37:32
  You can add that to anything and make
• 37:33
  it okay.
• 37:36
  Cobra Sur and Legends don't have any
• 37:37
  running.
• 37:39
  Dude, that's...
• 37:40
  To test running to see if people can
• 37:42
  do that at the games.
• 37:44
  My boy Brian Wynn,
• 37:47
  he's the first person I saw that said
• 37:48
  that.
• 37:48
  I was like, really?
• 37:49
  No running whatsoever at a semifinal?
• 37:51
  Okay.
• 38:00
  Rose barely has to show up to deliver
• 38:05
  and win the event, Amanda.
• 38:07
  And to win, yeah.
• 38:11
  It's crazy.
• 38:12
  It's crazy.
• 38:13
  I can't believe we've gotten to this
• 38:14
  point.
• 38:16
  And I know that people think we just
• 38:17
  come on here and bitch to bitch,
• 38:19
  but man, these are legitimate gripes.
• 38:21
  And I saw someone earlier said,
• 38:24
  I think it was Wayne said, do,
• 38:31
  would some of your CrossFit athletes give
• 38:33
  feedback about,
• 38:35
  Ask Shanna.
• 38:36
  Shanna has given feedback.
• 38:39
  So many of the masters athletes have given
• 38:43
  feedback.
• 38:44
  It is completely ignored.
• 38:48
  They send those things out.
• 38:51
  It's almost like the pacify people is how
• 38:53
  I feel it is.
• 38:54
  They just send it out and they're like,
• 38:56
  oh yeah, well, we sent you a survey.
• 38:57
  Like, yeah,
• 38:58
  I filled it out and I told you
• 38:59
  exactly what I thought.
• 39:00
  And nothing has changed.
• 39:04
  Whatsoever.
• 39:05
  So what's the point of filling it out
• 39:06
  at that point?
• 39:08
  And then to add salt to the wound,
• 39:10
  Mayhem set the bar pretty damn high for
• 39:13
  the following events.
• 39:15
  Absolutely.
• 39:15
  Oh, yeah, Wayne.
• 39:21
  I was talking specifically about your
• 39:22
  media access.
• 39:24
  Wayne,
• 39:24
  the only reason I got access in twenty
• 39:29
  four is because athletes spoke out for me.
• 39:34
  Yep.
• 39:36
  I remember that clearly.
• 39:37
  And I would never ask them to do
• 39:38
  that.
• 39:40
  Never.
• 39:40
  Because they're there to qualify for the
• 39:43
  games.
• 39:44
  They're there to accomplish their own
• 39:45
  goals.
• 39:46
  They don't need to worry about me.
• 39:49
  And I was so appreciative when they did
• 39:50
  that.
• 39:52
  And I'm still proud of the behind the
• 39:55
  scenes I did for that twenty four games.
• 39:58
  But last year,
• 39:59
  they didn't even give me enough access to
• 40:01
  be able to do it.
• 40:03
  No, you needed a directional mic.
• 40:07
  and just be shouting at people the entire
• 40:09
  time.
• 40:11
  Yes.
• 40:12
  To get to the people.
• 40:19
  I remember that clearly.
• 40:22
  Guys,
• 40:22
  if you haven't seen the Eleven Port
• 40:24
  documentary that Scott put together on the
• 40:27
  Masters Games, it's on this channel.
• 40:29
  Go watch them.
• 40:32
  It is well worth your time and effort.
• 40:36
  It looks a little odd because he had
• 40:37
  full access for, what, a day?
• 40:41
  Yeah.
• 40:41
  And then they kick you out the warm-up
• 40:43
  area.
• 40:44
  But he can still get on the edge
• 40:45
  of the warm-up area.
• 40:48
  Yep.
• 40:48
  Like a whistle for people to come over.
• 40:51
  Yeah.
• 40:51
  Shanna is the best.
• 40:52
  She would have made me her coach for
• 40:54
  the access.
• 40:57
  Yeah.
• 40:57
  Here's my coach, Scott Swanson.
• 40:59
  How's it going?
• 41:01
  Yeah, no,
• 41:01
  he carries that camera with him
• 41:02
  everywhere.
• 41:02
  It's fine.
• 41:05
  Honestly,
• 41:06
  I'd be on board with Mayhem JR having
• 41:08
  all control with all semifinal events
• 41:11
  moving forward.
• 41:12
  Obviously, it wouldn't happen,
• 41:14
  but I'd want to trust them.
• 41:18
  I don't think it's out of the question
• 41:21
  that that could be a possibility.
• 41:24
  If you listen to Dave in his week
• 41:25
  in review,
• 41:26
  talking about how Mayhem has made the
• 41:28
  template as to what a regional-based
• 41:32
  semifinal could look like,
• 41:36
  And then people just copy that template.
• 41:41
  You know?
• 41:43
  Here's my homework.
• 41:44
  It's right here on the internet for
• 41:45
  everybody to see.
• 41:45
  Copy my homework.
• 41:48
  We'll make it up.
• 41:49
  The mayhem crew.
• 41:51
  Now,
• 41:51
  I know everybody's going to be conflict of
• 41:53
  interest.
• 41:54
  Blah, blah, blah.
• 41:55
  Right.
• 41:57
  But have... Have JR over top of it.
• 42:01
  Over it.
• 42:03
  And make sure the programming is
• 42:04
  consistent.
• 42:06
  if not the same, consistent.
• 42:09
  That's all it needs to be.
• 42:12
  It needs to be balanced and consistent
• 42:14
  over all of the semifinals.
• 42:16
  That is it, cut and dry.
• 42:19
  You want to have your own little flair
• 42:20
  on it?
• 42:21
  Absolutely.
• 42:21
  I'm a hundred percent for that,
• 42:23
  but it needs to be balanced and needs
• 42:25
  to be consistent over every single
• 42:27
  semifinal, whether it's Masters only,
• 42:30
  whether it's, you know, Elites,
• 42:32
  the whole nine yards,
• 42:34
  It just needs to be balanced and
• 42:36
  consistent over all of them to get the
• 42:38
  right people to the game.
• 42:39
  Full stop.
• 42:45
  Look at the podium.
• 42:46
  Only two mayhem athletes made it.
• 42:47
  That's good enough for me.
• 42:49
  Not biased at all.
• 42:54
  I knew she'd get,
• 42:55
  I should come back at this.
• 42:57
  Conflict of interest.
• 42:59
  That is important to avoid.
• 43:01
  That's quickly switched to JR being over
• 43:04
  it.
• 43:10
  No bucket holds or cart pushes.
• 43:14
  No bucket holds or cart pushes, please.
• 43:16
  Yes.
• 43:17
  Yes.
• 43:19
  Oh.
• 43:20
  If you listen to Ben and Blair,
• 43:23
  I do think they're trying to work with
• 43:26
  CrossFit to make sure their event is
• 43:29
  legit.
• 43:32
  They care, dude.
• 43:33
  If you just watch them do any kind
• 43:35
  of interview,
• 43:35
  you can tell they give a shit.
• 43:38
  They want to give a shit.
• 43:41
  um and trying to pull out a quality
• 43:42
  product but they're also trying to at the
• 43:44
  same time they want to make it unique
• 43:46
  to them and betting and uh legends does
• 43:50
  not give a it doesn't seem like it
• 43:54
  they want their party to be their party
• 43:56
  as lito says so now i i know
• 44:04
  carolyn that conflict of interest is a
• 44:06
  serious issue
• 44:08
  And it should not be a camp over
• 44:11
  what the semifinals are.
• 44:14
  Even if they are legit trying not to
• 44:16
  be a conflict of interest,
• 44:18
  it's going to turn out to be that.
• 44:23
  Even if it's not,
• 44:24
  and it can be proven that it's not,
• 44:25
  people will still think that it is because
• 44:28
  it's mayhem and they,
• 44:30
  or gyms and cell programming and have
• 44:32
  athletes and the whole nine yards.
• 44:35
  It'd be the same thing as if they
• 44:38
  were putting on a thing and whatnot,
• 44:39
  and then people would be having the same
• 44:41
  argument.
• 44:42
  It really wasn't,
• 44:42
  it really doesn't matter who it is.
• 44:46
  If they are associated with the camp,
• 44:48
  people are gonna say that, well,
• 44:51
  that that's the problem.
• 44:52
  Well, yeah, of course, of course, Paige,
• 44:54
  uh,
• 44:54
  nevermind the fact that Paige is
• 44:56
  ridiculously fit.
• 44:57
  Of course she made it through.
• 44:59
  She went to mayhem and it's a mayhem.
• 45:00
  It's a mayhem, uh, event.
• 45:02
  Well, yeah, but she's also incredibly fit.
• 45:05
  It wouldn't have mattered what the tests
• 45:07
  were necessarily.
• 45:09
  She was probably gonna point your ticket.
• 45:10
  Yeah.
• 45:14
  Well, that's my lunch hour.
• 45:17
  So time for you knuckleheads to get back
• 45:19
  to work as well.
• 45:20
  But before I do,
• 45:21
  I need to tell you about the benefits
• 45:23
  of Thirdsy.
• 45:25
  Thirdsy,
• 45:26
  I got to take it again last night
• 45:27
  after my procedure.
• 45:30
  Out go the lights, slept like a baby.
• 45:34
  And my mom started taking it.
• 45:36
  And what she told me she noticed is
• 45:39
  it's not the number of hours she sleeps,
• 45:41
  it's how deep she sleeps.
• 45:45
  Dude, yeah.
• 45:45
  And that she falls asleep faster.
• 45:48
  And you can do that too by going
• 45:51
  to thirdsy.com backslash Jazzy.
• 45:56
  or use promo code Jazzy at checkout and
• 45:59
