  It is the start of the

  college football season here in Columbus.
• 2:28
  It is a big day with Texas

  The town's going to be crazy.
• 2:35
  College game day is here tomorrow.
• 2:39
  So, yeah, the town will be hopping.
• 2:41
  And Lee Corso's last college game day.
• 2:45
  I've watched Lee Corso since
• 2:47
  I was in college and that was,
• 2:49
  we barely had TVs then.
• 2:52
  And, uh, yeah,
• 2:55
  it's going to be a sad day when he's gone,
• 2:57
  but it's time he's it's time to move on.
• 3:01
  He has done so much for the sport and, uh,
• 3:06
  Yeah,
• 3:06
  really just excited to see his last
• 3:09
  show and that he gets the
• 3:12
  due that he deserves.
• 3:15
  And then we can just move on.
• 3:18
  Yes, Joseph, we are Penn State.
• 3:22
  And they play tomorrow at three thirty.
• 3:24
  Can't wait for that.
• 3:28
  Trade all of I care about
• 3:29
  for college football, listen, WFP.
• 3:32
  So college football is just like my.
• 3:34
  I like it a lot.
• 3:38
  Don't want to get in a
• 3:39
  serious relationship,
• 3:40
  but I like it a lot.
• 3:41
  I do care about my Penn State guys,
• 3:44
  but the NFL is my love.
• 3:47
  I love the NFL.
• 3:50
  We'll get into that a little
• 3:50
  bit next week as we roll closer to that.
• 3:56
  But we are going to talk a
• 3:57
  little WFP today, for sure.
• 4:01
  And...
• 4:03
  But I want to start with,
• 4:04
  did everybody take the
• 4:06
  CrossFit quiz that Hiller
• 4:08
  put out yesterday?
• 4:10
  I love trivia.
• 4:13
  I love trivia nights.
• 4:14
  I love trivia games.
• 4:17
  I grew up as a board gamer with my family.
• 4:19
  We played Trivial Pursuit all the time.
• 4:22
  I just love trivia.
• 4:26
  I was so bummed that in my old age that...
• 4:32
  I uh it the three seconds
• 4:34
  really killed me on the
• 4:37
  crossfit trivia game um I
• 4:40
  it was like it was right
• 4:41
  there on the tip of my and
• 4:43
  I just I couldn't pull it
• 4:45
  in time for the three
• 4:46
  second buzzer um but I went
• 4:54
  Some of those I'd never would've got,
• 4:56
  but what the one that got me,
• 4:57
  it's so stupid.
• 4:59
  The one was, uh,
• 5:00
  what is the workout that is.
• 5:03
  Eight hundred meter run,
• 5:04
  four hundred meter backwards,
• 5:05
  eight hundred meter run,
• 5:06
  four hundred backwards.
• 5:08
  I swear to God,
• 5:09
  we did that workout four
• 5:10
  times a year when I first
• 5:12
  started CrossFit and it,
• 5:14
  I just couldn't get Griff
• 5:15
  out in three seconds.
• 5:17
  I just couldn't get it out.
• 5:21
  So anyway.
• 5:36
  He definitely hit max retirement age,
• 5:38
  and Scott's bummed about
• 5:39
  eight more years.
• 5:42
  I'm not bummed about it.
• 5:43
  I just want to get there.
• 5:46
  Clydesdale fantasy football.
• 5:50
  I didn't know there was an interest.
• 5:52
  If I get eight to ten people
• 5:54
  who want to do it, throw it in.
• 5:57
  The comments on YouTube,
• 6:00
  if I get eight people,
• 6:01
  I'll put up a league.
• 6:02
  We'll do a fantasy football.
• 6:06
  I'm in another league with family friends,
• 6:10
  but I'll do one here.
• 6:17
  Ken Walters, I suck first three rounds,
• 6:19
  twenty eight to thirty.
• 6:21
  Won't tell my last seven rounds.
• 6:22
  Knew nothing.
• 6:23
  Hardly.
• 6:24
  Yeah.
• 6:28
  So if you're in,
• 6:29
  put it in the YouTube
• 6:30
  comments because these ones will go away.
• 6:33
  So I need to go back and
• 6:34
  look through who all said it.
• 6:37
  So if you can just put it in
• 6:38
  the comments below and not in the chat,
• 6:41
  then I'll be able to count it up.
• 6:45
  And we can do a Clydesdale
• 6:47
  fantasy football for sure.
• 6:50
  And I'll see if Jamie or
• 6:51
  Carolyn want to do it as
• 6:52
  well so they can join in.
• 7:01
  Um, so there's someone at my door.
• 7:11
  Hold on.
• 7:13
  My dog has lost his mind.
• 7:26
  Don't even know why.
• 7:28
  Uh,
• 7:30
  Just a telemarketer.
• 7:32
  Oh, boy.
• 7:33
  Hate that.
• 7:35
  Anyway.
• 7:40
  Yeah,
• 7:40
  I don't need to talk that much
• 7:41
  college football.
• 7:43
  I'll just watch a little bit tomorrow.
• 7:44
  Be good.
• 7:46
  So anyway, yeah, the quiz was fun.
• 7:49
  If you haven't taken it,
• 7:50
  it's worth the ten,
• 7:51
  fifteen minutes if you like trivia.
• 7:54
  A little bit of L-One,
• 7:56
  a little bit of games.
• 7:58
  It's a good dichotomy of
• 8:01
  kind of everything that's out there.
• 8:05
  So lots and lots of fun.
• 8:07
  So check that out on Hiller's channel.
• 8:11
  WFP.
• 8:13
  I don't know where I want to
• 8:14
  start with this.
• 8:16
  Let's start with how this morning went.
• 8:19
  They had a two mile run.
• 8:20
  That's the only event that's
• 8:21
  been done so far.
• 8:23
  We'll go ahead and pull up
• 8:24
  the leaderboard.
• 8:27
  This is the men's side.
• 8:29
  no surprises um ricky gerard
• 8:32
  takes the win it ended up
• 8:34
  coming down to a sprint
• 8:36
  yellow hosta passed him on
• 8:38
  the last straightaway and
• 8:39
  then ricky passed him again
• 8:42
  and yellow pulled up almost
• 8:44
  immediately um
• 8:49
  And I actually asked, like,
• 8:50
  Carolyn and them,
• 8:52
  did Yella pull up because
• 8:53
  he hurt himself or did he
• 8:54
  pull up because he was out of gas?
• 8:56
  They believe he's out of gas.
• 8:58
  Let's hope that's the truth.
• 9:00
  He slowed down considerably
• 9:02
  when Ricky passed him.
• 9:04
  Maybe he just knew at that moment.
• 9:06
  Roman took third, Sprague fourth,
• 9:10
  and Luka Jukic took fifth.
• 9:15
  Sam Quant,
• 9:16
  kind of the big surprise in the top ten.
• 9:19
  So, yeah.
• 9:23
  And then the other big surprise for me,
• 9:25
  until I found out,
• 9:26
  Yonikoski finishes dead last.
• 9:29
  However,
• 9:29
  I found out that his wife had just
• 9:31
  given birth, and...
• 9:36
  He flew home for the birth.
• 9:38
  Boy was born on Tuesday.
• 9:40
  Flew back from that and then
• 9:43
  into this event.
• 9:45
  That cannot be good on the body.
• 9:52
  Corey Leonard,
• 9:53
  I must have missed the whole thing.
• 9:56
  I went to their site and couldn't find it.
• 9:58
  It's there.
• 9:59
  I had a hard time finding it this morning.
• 10:01
  I am...
• 10:05
  It was not an easy find.
• 10:06
  I would just say that.
• 10:09
  I actually had to type into
• 10:11
  Google World Fitness Project live stream,
• 10:15
  and then it took me right to the page.
• 10:18
  But before that, I could not find it.
• 10:24
  You can rewind the live feed,
• 10:27
  but you can't pause it.
• 10:31
  There are thirty in the pro field, Ken.
• 10:42
  So anyway, Corey,
• 10:46
  I don't think it's about
• 10:46
  the birth that affected his run.
• 10:49
  I think it's flying from
• 10:50
  Finland to the States and
• 10:53
  then immediately jumping
• 10:54
  onto a course to run.
• 11:01
  The replays are available on
• 11:03
  the website as well.
• 11:05
  And they're saying they'll
• 11:06
  put them up on YouTube soon after.
• 11:10
  Now, if we go to the women,
• 11:12
  as Trent Olive is jumping ahead.
• 11:15
  And that's awesome.
• 11:22
  There we go.
• 11:24
  This was pretty much the Amy Kringle,
• 11:26
  Emma Lawson show for much of the race.
• 11:28
  They were out ahead pretty
• 11:31
  much the entire time,
• 11:32
  keeping the same pace.
• 11:35
  Then at the end, Amy kind of took the lead,
• 11:38
  never really relinquishing that again.
• 11:41
  But the crazy thing was
• 11:43
  Laura Horvath came from out
• 11:44
  of nowhere to jump five
• 11:47
  spots in probably the last
• 11:49
  two hundred to three hundred meters,
• 11:51
  passing everybody and right
• 11:54
  behind Emma Lawson.
• 11:57
  So she only finished less
• 11:59
  than a second behind Emma Lawson.
• 12:01
  And she was like clearly in
• 12:03
  like seventh or eighth
• 12:04
  place coming into probably
• 12:06
  the last four hundred.
• 12:08
  So that's crazy.
• 12:17
  The race conditions,
• 12:18
  not as bad as it was supposed to be.
• 12:19
  Looked like a nice morning in the desert.
• 12:23
  Some rain puddles they had
• 12:24
  to kind of run around,
• 12:27
  but other than that,
• 12:28
  looked like a pretty decent course.
• 12:32
  David,
• 12:33
  you have to grab the thing on the
• 12:36
  bottom and pull it to the left,
• 12:39
  like the little dot on the bottom.
• 12:49
  so yeah fun fun race there
• 12:53
  uh to round out the top
• 12:54
  five sydney wells lucy
• 12:56
  campbell emily rolf there
• 12:57
  in six I think what made
• 12:59
  laura even more impressive
• 13:00
  is these three women that
• 13:02
  she passed passing sydney
• 13:04
  wells lucy campbell emily
• 13:06
  rolf in the last couple
• 13:08
  hundred meters those are
• 13:09
  great runners and she blew
• 13:11
  by them like they were standing still so
• 13:18
  Uh,
• 13:18
  Joseph said it's so hot there right now.
• 13:20
  The concrete was sweating.
• 13:22
  That is a possibility.
• 13:28
  So anyway, there's a, there's your lineup.
• 13:35
  Um, it was funny in our chat.
• 13:38
  Someone said who, who takes last and, uh,
• 13:43
  that it was between Kyra, Annika,
• 13:46
  and Danny,
• 13:47
  and we all took Danny and we
• 13:49
  were all correct.
• 13:51
  So there it is.
• 13:58
  So that is what was
• 14:02
  happening at Mesa this
• 14:04
  morning for the WFP.
• 14:08
  So we're off to a big start.
• 14:10
  The big workout for this afternoon,
• 14:13
  is five rounds for time four
• 14:15
  and three rope climbs
• 14:16
  twenty strict handstand
• 14:17
  push-ups twenty double
• 14:18
  kettlebell squats and ten
• 14:20
  burpee box jump overs that
• 14:23
  comes this afternoon uh if
• 14:25
  you care to view trade
• 14:32
  olive I'd take danny's run
• 14:33
  time yeah she was a full
• 14:36
  minute and a half behind
• 14:37
  the field and it's still not a bad time
• 14:45
  So there you have it.
• 14:51
  The one thing I wanted,
• 14:53
  so I'm always dogging on WFP,
• 14:56
  always dogging, right?
• 14:59
  And I don't want to always do that.
• 15:02
  So I did want to show some
• 15:04
  things that they're doing that,
• 15:05
  that is pretty cool.
• 15:09
  So we got this email today.
• 15:12
  Um,
• 15:15
  And it's assets from this weekend.
• 15:19
  And so like it actually are
• 15:22
  all the headshots of the athletes.
• 15:24
  If I can say there's Colton,
• 15:28
  you can kind of see,
• 15:31
  but they sent us like all
• 15:33
  the headshots of all the athletes.
• 15:37
  That's one good thing they do.
• 15:40
  Um,
• 15:42
  They're supposed to have
• 15:43
  action shots in here too.
• 15:45
  I haven't seen much in the
• 15:46
  folders for that.
• 15:49
  But that's pretty cool.
• 15:51
  It's been really hard
• 15:52
  keeping up with their media
• 15:54
  because they've slammed it
• 15:58
  all into this week.
• 15:59
  Instead of using the dead
• 16:04
  time to put media out,
• 16:06
  they're slamming everything
• 16:07
  right before the event.
• 16:08
  And it's really hard to keep
• 16:10
  up with everything.
• 16:11
  So yeah, the multiple languages is cool.
• 16:20
  I just, I want to know how much it's used.
• 16:24
  Like they can say it's cool
• 16:25
  and it's bringing in new audiences,
• 16:27
  but how many are actually even using it?
• 16:35
  So anyway, lots and lots of media.
• 16:37
  Yeah.
• 16:38
  But what I haven't seen,
• 16:40
  and please correct me if I'm wrong,
• 16:44
  is what the real storyline
• 16:46
  of the WFP should be.
• 16:49
  Right?
• 16:51
  Here is the issue to me.
• 16:55
  The storyline of the WFP at
• 16:56
  this point is you have
• 16:59
  people with pro cards.
• 17:00
  You have people who want pro cards.
• 17:03
  The people who want pro
• 17:04
  cards have to take the pro
• 17:07
  card away from the people who have them.
• 17:10
  Right?
• 17:11
  That's the storyline.
• 17:14
  I want it.
• 17:15
  You have it.
• 17:16
  I want to take it.
• 17:18
  Yet there's no graphic saying...
• 17:22
  that these are the people in
• 17:25
  danger of losing their pro card,
• 17:28
  and these are the people
• 17:30
  who are hopeful to get a
• 17:33
  pro card and are in position to do so.
• 17:37
  That's the storyline.
• 17:39
  If we don't know who these people are,
• 17:41
  there is no story.
• 17:45
  They are assuming,
• 17:46
  if they're not doing this,
• 17:48
  that we just care about who wins.
• 17:51
  And I'm not even sure all
• 17:52
  the athletes care who wins.
• 17:55
  So if the athletes don't care,
• 17:57
  why should we care?
• 18:00
  What they need to do is you
• 18:02
  have this bubble, right?
• 18:04
  We talk about it in March
• 18:06
  Madness with NCAA basketball.
• 18:08
  There are teams that are in,
• 18:09
  teams that are on the bubble,
• 18:11
  and teams trying to get in.
• 18:13
  That's the storyline.
• 18:16
  Not...
• 18:17
  who's going to win and who's
• 18:18
  going to lose.
• 18:19
  It's who's going to take
• 18:20
  this from that person.
• 18:23
  That's where the storyline is.
• 18:25
  If you listen to Colton yesterday,
• 18:27
  that's kind of the beauty
• 18:28
  of it all is that you're
• 18:30
  going in trying to take
• 18:32
  something away from someone who has it.
• 18:35
  And in Colton's mind,
• 18:36
  he believes they got it
• 18:38
  unjustly and he should have
• 18:39
  had it in the first place.
• 18:41
  And so he wants to go take
• 18:42
  that away from his competitor.
• 18:45
  but there's no graphic
• 18:46
  telling us who that all is.
• 18:49
  And I'm almost afraid to fee.
• 18:53
  I,
• 18:55
  I feel like they are afraid by making
• 18:58
  that graphic.
• 18:58
  They think they're offending
• 19:00
  the athletes who aren't doing well.
• 19:03
  I hope that's not the case.
• 19:05
  I hope that's not the case,
• 19:08
  but that is where the storyline is.
• 19:11
  They have to make it to
• 19:13
  Copenhagen to compete for that thing,
• 19:16
  right?
• 19:16
  And there are people that are already,
• 19:18
  Barbell Spin,
• 19:19
  who doesn't even like the WFP,
• 19:22
  put out an article about
• 19:23
  the people who already have
• 19:24
  it locked up to get to Copenhagen.
• 19:27
  Getting there is a first
• 19:28
  step to taking that thing away.
• 19:31
  But we should know at this moment,
• 19:33
  like if I'm the WFP,
• 19:35
  these are the people that
• 19:36
  are fighting for their
• 19:37
  lives to keep theirs,
• 19:39
  and these are the people coming after it.
• 19:42
  That is where the storyline is.
• 19:45
  And nobody is selling it.
• 19:52
  Again, WFP are doing some things well.
• 19:56
  But there's some other
• 19:56
  things that are really
• 19:57
  dropping the ball on.
• 20:00
  Really dropping the ball on.
• 20:04
  The season and concept is cool.
• 20:06
  Just the approach or agenda is sus.
• 20:10
  I couldn't agree with you more, Eric.
• 20:13
  I think that their season
• 20:14
  structure is cool.
• 20:15
  It is better than CrossFit.
• 20:17
  It is easily to understand.
• 20:20
  But you've got to tell us,
• 20:21
  you've got to feed us the story.
• 20:26
  It is a very easy infographic.
• 20:30
  Yes, Kyle.
• 20:30
  Yes.
• 20:34
  That would create so much more excitement.
• 20:40
  Vicky, agreed.
• 20:41
  Total missed opportunity.
• 20:43
  They could hype it up like
• 20:44
  trying to grab a heavyweight title bout,
• 20:45
  etc.
• 20:46
  Yes.
• 20:48
  These people have something.
• 20:50
  These people want it.
• 20:51
  Who are they?
• 20:53
  Who's in the best position to get it?
• 21:01
  Trent Olive,
• 21:02
  you're the perfect person to
• 21:03
  say this because...
• 21:06
  Of course,
• 21:06
  you know very little about the
• 21:08
  points because they're not
• 21:10
  telling you about the points.
• 21:13
  They're just la-di-da, kumbaya,
• 21:15
  we're all here to have fun,
• 21:17
  and we're all here to
• 21:17
  compete for the athletes.
• 21:22
  No, tell us the real story.
• 21:36
  That's one hundred percent the case.
• 21:37
  You can't be inclusive if
• 21:38
  you're being competitive.
• 21:42
  Well, you're still being inclusive.
• 21:43
  You're just grouping them
• 21:44
  into a thing where they're
• 21:46
  in trouble and may lose their pro card.
• 21:52
  Holly,
• 21:52
  I don't even read the morning chalk
• 21:53
  up anymore.
• 21:56
  Got too frustrated with
• 21:57
  paywalls for every article
• 21:59
  I wanted to read,
• 22:00
  so I just stopped reading.
• 22:09
  um trish yeah we all were
• 22:15
  struggling with the website
• 22:16
  today to find the stream uh
• 22:25
  but they have appeared to
• 22:26
  block off any feedback
• 22:28
  listen not only are they
• 22:31
  blocking off feedback
• 22:35
  I have heard from sources
• 22:39
  that people who give them
• 22:41
  feedback no longer work for them.
• 22:48
  So not only are they
• 22:49
  blocking it off from us, they're also,
• 22:52
  when they say they want it
• 22:54
  and they are given it,
• 22:56
  they don't like it.
• 22:57
  And then you somehow are no
• 22:59
  longer with them.
• 23:12
  uh ken walter says this is
• 23:13
  the nice start to a wfp rap
• 23:16
  kumbaya latida there we go
• 23:34
  uh scott scott stop trying
• 23:36
  to make pro card happen
• 23:37
  it's not going to happen
• 23:39
  listen, I'm not making anything happen.
• 23:43
  It's what they call the
• 23:44
  entity that you try to get.
• 23:46
  Call it what you will.
• 23:48
  Call it the paycheck.
• 23:49
  It's the thing that gets you
• 23:50
  money as an athlete.
• 23:53
  Colton wants one.
• 23:54
  He wants money.
• 23:56
  He feels like he was...
• 23:58
  discarded by not being given
• 24:00
  one when they started.
• 24:02
  So he wants to take that
• 24:04
  away from someone else.
• 24:06
  Call it the pro card, call it the paycheck,
• 24:08
  call it whatever you will.
• 24:09
  It exists.
• 24:11
  We can't act like it doesn't.
• 24:29
  Um, so anyway, uh, winter, this, uh,
• 24:36
  trained all of them.
• 24:37
  Sorry.
• 24:38
  Got the name wrong.
• 24:38
  Trained all of it was not sex.
• 24:40
  And it told me that I've
• 24:42
  heard it from several other people.
• 24:52
  I've seen Mean Girls, but it was like many,
• 24:55
  many years ago,
• 24:56
  and I don't remember it
• 24:58
  like you guys seem to, so I apologize.
• 25:03
  Wasn't a fan the first time.
• 25:11
  Did they really have a
• 25:11
  twenty-minute time cap?
• 25:12
  They did.
• 25:13
  It never came into play.
• 25:15
  I mean,
• 25:15
  Danny Spiegel beat it by three or
• 25:17
  four minutes.
• 25:19
  So...
• 25:28
  Jody, I watched it.
• 25:29
  I just I don't know.
• 25:31
  I must have been a young
• 25:32
  twenty something when I
• 25:32
  watched it and I just
• 25:34
  didn't get it as a dude.
• 25:38
  My daughter does love it.
• 25:43
  I think her school actually did the play.
• 25:46
  And when she was in high school.
• 26:05
  Howie says, sorry, Scott,
• 26:06
  watching from behind.
• 26:07
  Do you think they are not
• 26:08
  showing scores so they can
• 26:10
  let someone in next year
• 26:11
  that should not qualify?
• 26:13
  Basically, they do what they want.
• 26:15
  Well,
• 26:15
  I think the points are public
• 26:17
  knowledge and it's the top
• 26:19
  twenty point getters from
• 26:20
  all three stops.
• 26:22
  So if you know where they've
• 26:24
  placed and you can add up
• 26:26
  the points and you can know
• 26:28
  who the top twenty are.
• 26:31
  But if they're going, like we said earlier,
• 26:34
  if they are in fact going exclusive,
• 26:36
  there are going to be some
• 26:37
  people that turn that down.
• 26:39
  So it's going to be a very
• 26:42
  interesting year of who gets them,
• 26:45
  who doesn't.
• 26:55
  Speaking of your daughter,
• 26:56
  please tell me she didn't
• 26:57
  take back the boyfriend.
• 26:59
  She did not.
• 27:01
  We are still completely
• 27:02
  blocked and separated.
• 27:11
  Yeah.
• 27:13
  Not coming back.
• 27:14
  Hopefully ever.
• 27:18
  So anyway, I did make my picks to win.
• 27:22
  I didn't go beyond that.
• 27:24
  I think it's too hard to
• 27:25
  pick with the WFP and what
• 27:27
  they have going on.
• 27:29
  And that is that... So what
• 27:32
  I... I had to find weird reasons.
• 27:36
  And so on the women's side,
• 27:37
  I'm picking Emma Lawson to win.
• 27:40
  I think that if... When I
• 27:42
  watched her on Breakable
• 27:43
  with Jack Farlow...
• 27:47
  I think she has found her
• 27:48
  love again for the sport,
• 27:50
  and because of that and not
• 27:52
  taking part in the game season,
• 27:54
  she is fresh and peaked,
• 27:56
  and I think she will do well.
• 27:58
  So I'm picking Emma Lawson to win.
• 28:02
  Although I've made these
• 28:04
  picks before event one,
• 28:06
  and Laura coming back and
• 28:07
  taking third in that first
• 28:08
  event has me a little scared.
• 28:12
  And then on the men's side,
• 28:14
  I think it's going to be
• 28:15
  either Colton or Dallin.
• 28:17
  I both think they weren't
• 28:18
  happy with their game's performance,
• 28:20
  and so they want to turn it
• 28:22
  around with a better
• 28:23
  performance here before
• 28:25
  they go into the offseason at tier SoCal,
• 28:31
  Waterpalooza SoCal, and Rogue,
• 28:34
  and at least get something
• 28:36
  under their belt before they do so.
• 28:46
  Someone who didn't compete
• 28:46
  at the games will probably win.
• 28:48
  They're all fresh.
• 28:54
  I don't think that's necessarily the case.
• 28:55
  I don't think it was a beat-up games.
• 28:59
  It was only eight events, right?
• 29:03
  Eight events, nine events.
• 29:06
  Why am I blocking at this point?
• 29:10
  Nine events.
• 29:13
  And like talking to Carolyn,
• 29:15
  like she was ready to go a
• 29:17
  couple of days later.
• 29:24
  Amanda,
• 29:24
  I'm pulling for Emma Lawson this weekend.
• 29:26
  Same now on Laura with that
• 29:28
  kick for the run at the end.
• 29:34
  Emma did look really good on the run.
• 29:41
  I just went to find the
• 29:42
  leaderboard for the weekend.
• 29:44
  Can't find it.
• 29:44
  All I see is season schedule.
• 29:49
  Maybe it's me,
• 29:50
  but doesn't it seem too easy to find?
• 29:52
  It's on Competition Corner,
• 29:54
  and you have to make sure
• 29:55
  you hit the leaderboard tab
• 29:57
  under World Fitness Project
• 29:59
  Tour Stop Two.
• 30:00
  Okay.
• 30:15
  surprised I couldn't pause
• 30:17
  the stream to get up and
• 30:18
  get a drink or anything
• 30:20
  yeah that's just yeah it
• 30:25
  was supposed to pause uh
• 30:26
  but it does rewind you can
• 30:29
  grab the dot on the line
• 30:30
  and pull it back so so yeah
• 30:43
  Yeah, and great point.
• 30:43
  I can't remember who said it.
• 30:46
  I will see how good Laura is
• 30:47
  at the handstand push-ups this afternoon.
• 30:50
  They are strict, but they're not deficit.
• 30:53
  So she probably won't do that bad.
• 30:56
  It's strict deficit that are
• 30:58
  her biggest Achilles heel.
• 31:03
  So we'll see.
• 31:11
  Anything else going on, guys?
• 31:13
  Going into the weekend with
• 31:17
  college football on the mind.
• 31:19
  Big games tomorrow.
• 31:20
  Like I said, Ohio State here.
• 31:22
  Penn State plays at three
• 31:23
  thirty and then we have
• 31:25
  Miami and Notre Dame on
• 31:27
  Sunday and Clemson and LSU this weekend.
• 31:31
  So three big games playing this weekend.
• 31:35
  That's going to be fun.
• 31:38
  My question to you is.
• 31:40
  Do you watch college football?
• 31:42
  Do you watch the WFP or do
• 31:44
  you watch neither?
• 31:53
  Ken, we're not even there yet.
• 31:56
  We're not.
• 31:58
  We'll talk about that next week.
• 31:59
  And that's a Monday night or
• 32:00
  we've got like ample time
• 32:02
  to talk about that game.
• 32:08
  Dan Church always throws
• 32:09
  this competition in that I
• 32:11
  can't pronounce.
• 32:14
  Vitruvian Games in the
• 32:16
  Northeast area for CrossFit.
• 32:19
  There you go.
• 32:20
  That's an option.
• 32:27
  David Johnson,
• 32:28
  I train too much to keep up
• 32:29
  with anything else.
• 32:30
  You just finished the games, dude.
• 32:32
  Didn't you podium?
• 32:34
  Time to take a rest.
• 32:35
  At least a week off.
• 32:39
  how have your workouts at
• 32:40
  home been going this has
• 32:42
  been a rough week I'm
• 32:43
  actually right after the
• 32:44
  show heading to the doctors
• 32:46
  uh for my follow-up uh I've
• 32:49
  had a very bad sinus infection um that
• 32:53
  leaked into my lungs so it
• 32:55
  is has been rough go the
• 32:57
  last couple weeks uh just
• 32:59
  getting through life but
• 33:01
  I'm heading up to the
• 33:02
  doctors right after this I
• 33:04
  actually the last two days
• 33:06
  have felt really good um
• 33:08
  just a little bit of
• 33:10
  nasally stuff so hopefully
• 33:12
  we're just about over that
• 33:20
  Sabrina pulling for Colorado
• 33:21
  State for a big Washington upset.
• 33:24
  There we go.
• 33:27
  Yard working a nap this weekend.
• 33:29
  There you go, Megan.
• 33:30
  That's the life right there.
• 33:34
  Corey would probably watch
• 33:35
  WFP if they weren't so hard to find.
• 33:38
  Amanda, college football on my TV,
• 33:40
  WFP on my phone.
• 33:41
  Yeah.
• 33:46
  Jake,
• 33:46
  I watch random live shows on YouTube.
• 33:48
  Just go to the live button,
• 33:50
  see what's there.
• 34:02
  David Johnson,
• 34:02
  I compete again on the thirteenth.
• 34:05
  Can't relax yet.
• 34:06
  Dang.
• 34:09
  Just lining them up.
• 34:15
  Megan,
• 34:16
  all my friends texted me from back
• 34:17
  home telling me Taylor was
• 34:19
  at the Husker game,
• 34:20
  and I could not care less.
• 34:23
  Congratulations to the old
• 34:24
  Tay-Tay and Travis Kelsey getting engaged,
• 34:29
  and they went to the
• 34:30
  Nebraska-Cincinnati game
• 34:32
  because Travis went to
• 34:34
  University of Cincinnati.
• 34:36
  He's an Ohio boy here in this state, so...
• 34:45
  Texas is going to crack those Buckeyes.
• 34:47
  Please.
• 34:50
  I live here.
• 34:50
  I just can't take it anymore.
• 34:53
  David, is that MFC?
• 34:54
  No, they're not that soon.
• 34:56
  Corey, I think they're October.
• 35:01
  Where are the leaderboards
• 35:02
  for this weekend?
• 35:03
  Competition Corner.
• 35:04
  You have to type in World
• 35:05
  Fitness Project Tour Stop Two.
• 35:13
  Jake says naps are gay.
• 35:18
  I'm fifty five Jake.
• 35:19
  Naps are sweet.
• 35:21
  I never get them.
• 35:23
  I take maybe three a year.
• 35:25
  But when I get them, I do enjoy them very,
• 35:28
  very much.
• 35:32
  Jay Burch is back on the
• 35:33
  volunteer trail after doing
• 35:35
  the age group games.
• 35:36
  He's right back at it doing
• 35:38
  a local fitness festival.
• 35:43
  How's your wife's recovery going?
• 35:45
  It's going really well,
• 35:47
  but the latest knee surgery,
• 35:49
  the knee didn't straighten
• 35:51
  like it should.
• 35:53
  So she's going through extra PT,
• 35:55
  which has been extremely
• 35:56
  painful to try to get it to balance.
• 36:01
  go straight um but she's
• 36:03
  almost there um and
• 36:04
  hopefully that will be done
• 36:06
  in the next few weeks as we
• 36:08
  are flying to montana to
• 36:09
  see my daughter and we want
• 36:10
  her up and fully running um
• 36:13
  at that point uh sabrina I
• 36:24
  do hate I have to cast from
• 36:26
  to the tv for my phone I
• 36:28
  want to watch wfp
• 36:34
  I'll be sitting in the back
• 36:35
  garden in my pants all weekend.
• 36:37
  There you go, Yon.
• 36:44
  I thought I heard you say
• 36:45
  yesterday that you like to
• 36:46
  just go with a shirt like
• 36:48
  Winnie the Pooh.
• 36:49
  I thought that's what I heard.
• 36:50
  I might be wrong.
• 36:56
  Fit Fest in North Carolina.
• 36:58
  There you go.
• 37:03
  Historic Fitness, pro pickleball.
• 37:05
  Didn't even know that was a thing.
• 37:12
  All right.
• 37:18
  uh, F one Australian GP this weekend.
• 37:22
  I watch a drive to survive.
• 37:24
  I think that's awesome.
• 37:25
  Uh,
• 37:26
  maybe that'll get me into F one by the
• 37:27
  time I get through everything,
• 37:29
  but I'm so far back.
• 37:30
  Like the drivers have all changed.
• 37:32
  I don't even know who to root for yet.
• 37:51
  um there we go world
• 37:52
  pickleball league um yeah
• 37:55
  great interview yesterday
• 37:56
  with facundo guys I still
• 37:59
  want to know if he's still
• 38:00
  connected to mayhem and I
• 38:02
  think like you were trying
• 38:03
  to ask him that and he was
• 38:05
  trying to deflect that and
• 38:07
  but yet he holds rich in
• 38:09
  such high esteem like it's
• 38:12
  really weird that people
• 38:14
  just won't answer that
• 38:15
  question oh my gosh he's
• 38:17
  been at mayhem for
• 38:19
  What, eleven or twelve years?
• 38:22
  Crazier.
• 38:23
  Crazy.
• 38:35
  Right.
• 38:35
  He coaches mayhem athletes.
• 38:36
  I know that.
• 38:37
  But because of this whole thing with Malik,
• 38:40
  Jody, and Malik trying to buy CrossFit,
• 38:44
  and Facundo and Rich being involved,
• 38:46
  and Rich pulling out,
• 38:48
  Rich said that that has
• 38:49
  meant that some of his
• 38:50
  friendships have been strained.
• 38:57
  So I don't know.
• 39:00
  There's something weird there.
• 39:09
  then why does he have to
• 39:10
  adopt all his kids, man?
• 39:12
  Just saying.
• 39:17
  Um, that's just bad joke.
• 39:21
  Probably.
• 39:24
  Uh, Yon,
• 39:24
  I'd like to believe he's still
• 39:25
  with mayhem.
• 39:26
  Me too.
• 39:26
  I love Facundo.
• 39:28
  Like he's one of the nicest guys.
• 39:30
  I talked to him at the games.
• 39:32
  Um,
• 39:37
  I hope he's still there.
• 39:38
  I mean,
• 39:38
  he was there with Roman doing all that,
• 39:40
  so I don't know.
• 39:41
  Yeah, I wanted that one back.
• 39:50
  You got me.
• 39:57
  That whole thing is weird.
• 39:58
  Rich is definitely doomsday prepping.
• 40:01
  I do not disagree.
• 40:02
  I think that is very, very accurate.
• 40:12
  Yes, Jake.
• 40:13
  Facundo is a very handsome man.
• 40:18
  All right, guys.
• 40:23
  I don't know if I want to.
• 40:31
  I just hope that we are still.
• 40:35
  we still have this magical
• 40:36
  thing called crossfit at
• 40:38
  the end of the day I don't
• 40:40
  want to dive way deep into
• 40:41
  this because I do have to
• 40:42
  go to my doctor's
• 40:43
  appointment this afternoon
• 40:45
  um and jake and jan have me
• 40:47
  now thinking and I've got
• 40:50
  some things to say I just
• 40:51
  don't know if I can get it all in today
• 40:55
  but I feel very much like
• 40:56
  Jake articulating how I
• 40:58
  think right in this moment
• 41:00
  with everything going on is very,
• 41:02
  very complicated and very, very hard.
• 41:05
  And I think that that is a
• 41:06
  lot of what's going on in
• 41:08
  the space that people are
• 41:09
  having a hard time
• 41:10
  articulating how they feel
• 41:12
  about this whole thing.
• 41:14
  And, and it,
• 41:15
  then we get like half messages
• 41:18
  and then it just makes it
• 41:19
  even more and more complicated.
• 41:27
  So, yeah.
• 41:33
  I don't know.
• 41:38
  I don't know.
• 41:39
  It's weird.
• 41:41
  I hope that something
• 41:42
  happens that makes sense,
• 41:45
  whoever it may be.
• 41:52
  Tim Murray is awesome.
• 41:55
  So Jan and Jake are having
• 41:57
  him on the show.
• 41:59
  That's cool.
• 42:01
  Tim's a good guy.
• 42:09
  Jake, the first into the second.
• 42:13
  I hope it makes sense with
• 42:15
  an S so that eventually it
• 42:17
  can make sense with a C.
• 42:28
  So I don't know.
• 42:34
  I don't know.
• 42:37
  And I don't even know how I
• 42:38
  feel about rich, how much power he has.
• 42:43
  I think with all of us to
• 42:44
  kind of hang out in this
• 42:45
  world that are OG CrossFitters,
• 42:48
  rich has a lot of pool,
• 42:50
  but just the everyday affiliate owner is,
• 42:55
  that has been running their
• 42:56
  business the way they have for years.
• 43:00
  I just don't know that he
• 43:01
  has that much pool with them.
• 43:03
  I don't know.
• 43:13
  Mark Phillips.
• 43:13
  I just see rich protecting his assets,
• 43:15
  not necessarily positioning him.
• 43:17
  He is definitely positioning
• 43:19
  his assets to be, to prepare for,
• 43:22
  for the inevitability if it comes to that,
• 43:27
  that CrossFit is sold to
• 43:29
  someone he doesn't like.
• 43:31
  He is,
• 43:32
  you don't bring on Austin with
• 43:35
  Austin Maliolo without
• 43:37
  thinking in that direction.
• 43:42
  That's the move that makes
• 43:44
  this a serious thing.
• 43:47
  I think they talked about it
• 43:47
  on a podcast like four
• 43:49
  months ago about
• 43:50
  theoretically they could
• 43:51
  make Mayhem affiliates and
• 43:53
  have their own thing.
• 43:54
  And I think that ingest
• 43:56
  comment has rolled into
• 43:58
  maybe we need to do that or
• 44:01
  prepare for that if the
• 44:03
  inevitability is that
• 44:04
  someone owns this thing
• 44:05
  that we don't like.
• 44:07
  And now they are bunkered in
• 44:09
  and they are getting ready
• 44:10
  to do that just in case.
• 44:27
  That's a great question, Jake.
• 44:29
  Does Rich want to be the man
• 44:30
  who killed CrossFit?
• 44:33
  Wow.
• 44:36
  Just lay it out there.
• 44:50
  Joseph,
• 44:50
  I think Austin leaving speaks
• 44:52
  louder than Rich hiring him.
• 45:06
  I think if CrossFit
• 45:07
  continues down the path it
• 45:08
  has since twenty eighteen corporate wise,
• 45:11
  he could easily step in and
• 45:12
  offer an alternative and he
• 45:14
  has the business and
• 45:15
  competition cloud to do it.
• 45:20
  Maybe.
• 45:24
  What I found interesting is
• 45:27
  when Sivan had Rich on that,
• 45:29
  they actually admitted that
• 45:31
  it actually started in twenty seventeen.
• 45:34
  When they brought on that CEO,
• 45:38
  because that's really where
• 45:39
  things started to kind of unravel.
• 45:42
  When he is the one who
• 45:43
  convinced Greg to shut off
• 45:46
  social media to then fire
• 45:48
  the media company.
• 45:49
  I mean, insanity.
• 45:54
  Complete and utter insanity.
• 45:55
  Insanity.
• 46:01
  Chris Beesterfield saved it.
• 46:04
  He could be known as the one
• 46:05
  who saved CrossFit.
• 46:06
  Could be.
• 46:13
  With Rich, let me pose this to you.
• 46:21
  Jake says, I disagree.
• 46:22
  It's the video's on the
• 46:24
  journal pointed toward it then.
• 46:27
  I'll give you that.
• 46:28
  But it's the first time
• 46:29
  people have gone further
• 46:31
  back than eighteen.
• 46:34
  And it may go back further.
• 46:43
  They obviously promised him
• 46:44
  something and then stuck
• 46:47
  him with the check at dinner.
• 46:57
  I just wonder with Rich
• 46:59
  making this positioning and
• 47:01
  bunkering in like this,
• 47:03
  if there's not an investor
• 47:05
  who's willing to go grab
• 47:06
  him and move forward with him.
• 47:10
  It didn't work out with Malik,
• 47:12
  but that doesn't mean it
• 47:13
  can't work out with somebody else.
• 47:24
  I mean,
• 47:24
  if I'm a businessman and I'm
• 47:26
  sitting here looking at like,
• 47:27
  I want to invest in this,
• 47:30
  how do I do it the most successfully?
• 47:33
  You've got a team with the right people.
• 47:36
  Just grab and go.
• 47:39
  Right.
• 47:51
  Corey,
• 47:52
  if you go back and listen to the
• 47:53
  Rich interview with Siobhan,
• 47:57
  you'll see it there.
• 48:00
  It was the CEO that they hired back then.
• 48:24
  I don't think there can be a
• 48:24
  mayhem and a CrossFit.
• 48:26
  This would cause an even bigger divide.
• 48:28
  Yeah.
• 48:28
  We don't need to divide it even more.
• 48:32
  Not at all.
• 48:33
  We need,
• 48:33
  we need something that unifies it
• 48:35
  together for sure.
• 48:41
  will look up that ceo and
• 48:43
  I'll have it for you guys
• 48:45
  uh next show for sure um I
• 48:49
  just and I I know it it's
• 48:51
  stuck in my head I just
• 48:52
  can't get to that access
• 48:54
  that folder for some reason
• 49:00
  with that guys I gotta get
• 49:02
  to a doctor's appointment
• 49:03
  thank you everybody for
• 49:04
  being here uh love you all
• 49:07
  Taking the day off tomorrow.
• 49:09
  First time in whatever it was,
• 49:11
  thirteen days, fourteen days.
• 49:15
  We will see you Sunday night
• 49:16
  for Sunday night CrossFit talk.
• 49:18
  The girls are already
• 49:19
  texting me lots of stuff to
• 49:21
  put in the show.
• 49:22
  So it should be a fun night
• 49:23
  and then we'll be back next Monday.
• 49:25
  I'll do a Labor Day show on Monday.
• 49:31
  because not all of you live
• 49:32
  in the States and not all
• 49:33
  of you celebrate Labor Day.
• 49:34
  But anyway,
• 49:35
  we will talk to you all Sunday night.
• 49:39
