  sunday sunday night
• 0:32
  crossfit talk a bears
• 0:35
  victory sunday I couldn't
• 0:38
  believe it for the first
• 0:39
  time in eleven weeks we are
• 0:42
  winners yes and against the
• 0:46
  rival packers it couldn't
• 0:48
  have come against a better team but
• 0:52
  My crew that is with me
• 0:53
  tonight has been so busy this week.
• 0:56
  Let's do a little catch up
• 0:57
  first and then we'll get
• 0:58
  into all the news in the space.
• 1:00
  And let's start with Jamie,
• 1:01
  who every time I see a
• 1:03
  Snapchat is under the
• 1:05
  rubble of her her gym.
• 1:09
  So what's going on?
• 1:11
  Well,
• 1:12
  we've always had this like soft spot
• 1:14
  and kind of a back area of
• 1:17
  our gym is actually like
• 1:19
  right around the old rig.
• 1:21
  And there was like one hump
• 1:23
  and then one like soft spot.
• 1:24
  And we pulled when we pulled up the mats,
• 1:27
  we're like, this is just a disaster here.
• 1:29
  I don't even know what they did.
• 1:30
  And we started like kind of chipping away,
• 1:32
  thought we would just kind
• 1:33
  of get some like, like.
• 1:35
  self-level or patch it somehow.
• 1:37
  We're like chipping away.
• 1:38
  Next thing you know,
• 1:39
  we're like pulling out giant rocks.
• 1:41
  It's we like basically dug
• 1:43
  out an entire old trench
• 1:45
  that somebody did to do
• 1:46
  some plumbing that I didn't,
• 1:48
  it was just a terrible repair job.
• 1:49
  So we dug that all out and
• 1:52
  poured new concrete and
• 1:53
  hopefully it's done right this time.
• 1:55
  Uh, my snap, uh, I don't,
• 1:58
  I think it's expert Jamie,
• 2:00
  like everything else.
• 2:01
  I'm pretty sure.
• 2:01
  Yeah.
• 2:06
  So you did this.
• 2:08
  You started a remodel.
• 2:09
  We talked about it briefly
• 2:11
  last week that you bought a
• 2:13
  new rig that is a wall mount rig.
• 2:15
  Your old rig was a self-standing.
• 2:20
  Yep.
• 2:21
  You moved the rig to another
• 2:23
  part of your gym.
• 2:24
  You moved the turf to where the rig was.
• 2:28
  Beautiful purple turf for
• 2:31
  the Vikings because you're
• 2:32
  rooting for them tonight, right?
• 2:33
  Yeah.
• 2:33
  Yeah.
• 2:34
  No.
• 2:36
  Do you guys have more or
• 2:37
  less rig squatting racks?
• 2:44
  We'll have one less squatting rack.
• 2:46
  We had six before.
• 2:48
  We have way less, technically,
• 2:50
  because we had those weird...
• 2:52
  wall mount rigs on the wall, like always,
• 2:57
  um, they were very,
• 2:58
  like not far off the wall at all.
• 3:00
  Like you couldn't do bar
• 3:02
  muscle ups over there.
• 3:02
  You really couldn't do chest
• 3:03
  to bar over there.
• 3:05
  You could sort of do total
• 3:06
  bar if you didn't have a big backswing.
• 3:08
  Um,
• 3:09
  but it was mostly for people doing like
• 3:10
  jumping pull-ups and just like,
• 3:12
  like standing pull-ups, you know,
• 3:13
  like stuff like that,
• 3:15
  hanging knee raise maybe.
• 3:16
  Um,
• 3:17
  And you could squat over there.
• 3:18
  So we had like,
• 3:19
  we had six stations on our
• 3:21
  freestanding rig.
• 3:22
  And then there was six of
• 3:23
  those on the wall.
• 3:23
  So technically we had twelve,
• 3:26
  but nobody would ever.
• 3:27
  The part of the problem was the turf.
• 3:30
  the turf broke up from the
• 3:32
  freestanding rig to the
• 3:33
  wall and nobody ever wanted
• 3:35
  to go work out on the wall.
• 3:37
  They felt like they were the
• 3:38
  redheaded stepchild, not part of class.
• 3:42
  It just,
• 3:43
  it worked fine for like PT or
• 3:45
  anything else going on.
• 3:47
  But yeah,
• 3:47
  it just sort of broke up the room.
• 3:50
  Things didn't always flow.
• 3:51
  When we had a shuttle, it was over turf,
• 3:54
  it was just always weird.
• 3:56
  So we do have less squat stands now.
• 4:00
  But we'll probably end up with five, six.
• 4:04
  We'll probably end up with eight.
• 4:06
  But I think eight is sufficient.
• 4:07
  We don't usually have more
• 4:08
  than twelve in class and
• 4:09
  some of our stuff can be doubled up.
• 4:11
  That was my next question is
• 4:12
  how big are your classes?
• 4:13
  Yeah.
• 4:13
  Yeah.
• 4:14
  We cap them at twelve.
• 4:16
  Saturdays are like up to twenty,
• 4:17
  twenty four.
• 4:17
  But yeah, absolutely.
• 4:23
  Jay Birch would love to be
• 4:24
  the redheaded stepchild during a workout.
• 4:26
  Yeah,
• 4:26
  I would just throw myself over there
• 4:29
  all the time.
• 4:32
  Because I have to throw it up there.
• 4:33
  I am on Snapchat, Birch.
• 4:39
  You guys can find me.
• 4:40
  I'm only on Snapchat because
• 4:41
  that's how my daughter will
• 4:43
  communicate with me.
• 4:45
  That's really it.
• 4:48
  I've always had it.
• 4:49
  I've never stopped.
• 4:50
  I don't think it's my handle
• 4:53
  from CrossFit.
• 4:55
  I only have my friends on there.
• 4:57
  I wouldn't accept just
• 4:58
  random people on mine.
• 5:02
  Yeah.
• 5:02
  I,
• 5:02
  I talked to Jamie and my daughter and
• 5:04
  that's the only two people
• 5:05
  I talked to on Snapchat.
• 5:07
  I feel so privileged.
• 5:08
  Um, so you have that going on.
• 5:14
  Yes.
• 5:15
  And you were hoping to be
• 5:17
  done by this weekend.
• 5:18
  Now with the new trench, uh,
• 5:21
  probably into this week, I'm assuming.
• 5:23
  Yeah.
• 5:24
  So we'll,
• 5:25
  so technically it says seven days
• 5:26
  to like fully, I mean,
• 5:28
  well actually it says like
• 5:30
  twenty eight days, but like
• 5:32
  load bearing like fully load
• 5:33
  bearing like seven days so
• 5:35
  we did pour that yesterday
• 5:36
  so next saturday we'll
• 5:37
  probably put the mats back
• 5:38
  and open up that space and
• 5:40
  maybe suggest not like
• 5:42
  heavy deadlifts or crazy
• 5:44
  stuff over there for a
• 5:45
  while but um there is a lot
• 5:48
  to figure out with like
• 5:49
  wall ball targets like we I
• 5:52
  just I don't know how
• 5:53
  people do this stuff like
• 5:54
  we have gone over bar height
• 5:57
  numerous times tried to put
• 5:59
  up wall ball targets we
• 6:00
  also got the a-frame
• 6:01
  hangers and I don't I guess
• 6:03
  I don't know how other gems
• 6:04
  do it like do they not do
• 6:06
  wall ball targets on the
• 6:07
  post that have the a-frames
• 6:09
  because it's it's weird
• 6:10
  like we hung one and put a
• 6:11
  wall ball target up and
• 6:12
  like I feel like you're
• 6:13
  constantly gonna have to be
• 6:14
  like getting the taking the
• 6:17
  rings off or the rope off
• 6:18
  or whatever you have or
• 6:19
  it's gonna the wall ball
• 6:20
  target won't be usable it's
• 6:21
  like I don't know this is just crazy
• 6:29
  I don't know.
• 6:30
  My first ever gym,
• 6:31
  the first ever gym we were in,
• 6:32
  we had wall mount and we
• 6:34
  went away from that.
• 6:35
  And the three gyms after that.
• 6:37
  Yeah.
• 6:37
  And then I went to Polaris
• 6:38
  and it's a freestanding too.
• 6:40
  So we have both options at
• 6:43
  my gym wall and then on the rig.
• 6:49
  I feel like freestanding
• 6:50
  rigs are kind of the gold standard,
• 6:52
  right?
• 6:52
  That's what you want to put in.
• 6:53
  If you can, it just, it's,
• 6:55
  it breaks up our,
• 6:57
  we don't have good space.
• 6:59
  The way CrossFit's gone with
• 7:00
  like needing for things.
• 7:03
  It just was,
• 7:04
  it wasn't going to work out great for us.
• 7:06
  And I didn't necessarily
• 7:07
  want to go to a wall mounted rig,
• 7:09
  but I think it opens up the space more.
• 7:11
  So hopefully it just feels
• 7:13
  bigger and I don't know.
• 7:18
  Have you sold off all your
• 7:20
  individual wall?
• 7:23
  I might be interested.
• 7:24
  Okay.
• 7:25
  We've sold three.
• 7:26
  I think we have one left of
• 7:28
  the wall ones that I put up
• 7:29
  on marketplace.
• 7:29
  Yeah.
• 7:29
  Okay.
• 7:30
  But we have a ton of the freestanding.
• 7:32
  I need to like portion that
• 7:34
  out and you could make those wall.
• 7:36
  You could put those to a wall as well.
• 7:37
  Right.
• 7:39
  So we,
• 7:39
  I'm going to like piece off that
• 7:41
  stuff as well.
• 7:42
  Okay.
• 7:43
  Yeah,
• 7:43
  I it's like the right size for a
• 7:46
  section of my garage.
• 7:47
  Oh, perfect.
• 7:48
  And I don't have like a
• 7:49
  bench or like a place to bench or squat.
• 7:52
  And it's perfect.
• 7:54
  And it's actually in the
• 7:55
  price range I would be looking for.
• 7:57
  Perfect.
• 7:57
  Yep.
• 7:57
  I can reserve one of those for you.
• 8:01
  So Carolyn,
• 8:02
  you is tomorrow's your birthday.
• 8:04
  Tomorrow's my birthday.
• 8:05
  Yeah.
• 8:06
  So happy birthday tomorrow.
• 8:08
  Thank you.
• 8:09
  And you just got back from California.
• 8:12
  Yeah, a couple hours ago, I got back.
• 8:16
  put my bags down and then my
• 8:18
  freezer was making a noise
• 8:20
  that it wasn't on.
• 8:22
  And I was like, great.
• 8:24
  So it must've like over
• 8:27
  froze or something.
• 8:28
  And then the door must've
• 8:29
  just opened a little bit.
• 8:30
  And then it has this connect like this.
• 8:32
  It'll just automatically turn off.
• 8:34
  So threw away every single
• 8:35
  thing that was in the freezer.
• 8:37
  Um, then went to the grocery store,
• 8:39
  then meal prepped very quickly.
• 8:41
  So I had a lunch tomorrow at school and,
• 8:44
  right away.
• 8:45
  I think it was at that point, seven forty.
• 8:48
  So I was like, oh,
• 8:49
  got to get ready for the podcast.
• 8:52
  So I didn't have much time
• 8:53
  yet to unpack everything,
• 8:56
  but nothing broke of what I
• 8:58
  saw that was maybe fragile
• 9:00
  when I was traveling.
• 9:00
  So very happy with that part.
• 9:03
  I left with one hockey bag
• 9:05
  and I came back with
• 9:07
  a more full hockey bag and
• 9:09
  another suitcase.
• 9:10
  So like my hockey bag was
• 9:12
  forty seven pounds.
• 9:13
  And I think my other
• 9:14
  suitcase was which I stole
• 9:15
  from Lex was like forty pounds.
• 9:19
  So how I gained that much of
• 9:21
  stuff in the two weeks is I don't know.
• 9:24
  Just get a ton of Christmas gifts.
• 9:26
  Apparently.
• 9:27
  Yeah.
• 9:29
  A lot of like big kitchen
• 9:31
  applying stuff that we're
• 9:33
  taking up a little bit of room.
• 9:37
  Craig says happy birthday
• 9:38
  Bruce Wayne happy early
• 9:39
  birthday and Denise Moore
• 9:41
  happy birthday if you
• 9:42
  didn't watch my countdown
• 9:43
  of podcasts for twenty
• 9:45
  twenty four my number one
• 9:46
  podcast was Denise Moore
• 9:50
  interesting so
• 9:52
  congratulations Denise on
• 9:53
  that as well and Julian
• 9:58
  I've heard there's one yes
• 9:59
  they did we've went over
• 10:01
  that I think three times
• 10:02
  now let's go Lions
• 10:05
  All right.
• 10:05
  So my weekend has been crazy.
• 10:09
  I was at the hospital, seven thirty a.m.
• 10:12
  Friday morning.
• 10:13
  I was shocked back into rhythm.
• 10:17
  I'm back in sinus rhythm.
• 10:18
  Just checked it about twenty minutes ago.
• 10:21
  Still in sinus rhythm.
• 10:23
  So we're good on a new
• 10:24
  medication to hope to keep it there.
• 10:27
  But man, I feel so much better today.
• 10:30
  That's like.
• 10:33
  Like,
• 10:33
  all of the aches and pains in my body
• 10:35
  are gone now because I have
• 10:37
  good blood flow again.
• 10:39
  And it just...
• 10:41
  I feel like a million bucks,
• 10:42
  which I need to because my
• 10:44
  wife is going into surgery tomorrow.
• 10:46
  And today I moved a bed into
• 10:50
  the living room.
• 10:51
  I put together a walker.
• 10:53
  I cleaned feverishly throughout my house.
• 10:57
  I've done five loads of laundry.
• 10:59
  And now I've done this show.
• 11:02
  And then we have to be at
• 11:03
  the hospital at six fifteen a.m.
• 11:04
  tomorrow with her.
• 11:07
  And it's about a two-hour surgery.
• 11:10
  So I don't know what all
• 11:12
  that means tomorrow, but...
• 11:15
  And then she's staying
• 11:16
  overnight at the hospital
• 11:18
  Monday into Tuesday so that
• 11:21
  they can start her rehab there.
• 11:23
  We got delivered machines
• 11:25
  Friday where I have to put
• 11:28
  them on the bed and lay her leg in it.
• 11:30
  And then it moves her leg
• 11:31
  for her at the right angle.
• 11:33
  You set it on like this
• 11:35
  little computer pad and it
• 11:37
  will slowly move her knee
• 11:39
  back and forth for an hour.
• 11:42
  um in the at the right angle
• 11:44
  and then every day we
• 11:45
  increase it so many degrees
• 11:48
  that's nifty yeah so she
• 11:50
  has to do it three times a
• 11:51
  day for an hour each time
• 11:54
  um and then her ice machine
• 11:56
  is coming either tomorrow
• 11:58
  or monday to wrap around
• 12:00
  her leg that just keeps it
• 12:02
  constantly flowing with ice yeah
• 12:06
  um so you had to buy that
• 12:08
  last week didn't realize
• 12:10
  insurance didn't cover the
• 12:11
  machine either but it's
• 12:13
  really good for rehab so we
• 12:17
  we went ahead and rented
• 12:18
  one of those uh so super
• 12:19
  excited about that but um
• 12:22
  but yeah she's really
• 12:23
  nervous and uh but twenty
• 12:26
  four hours from now it'll
• 12:26
  all be over and uh she'll
• 12:29
  be relaxing in her bed yep
• 12:30
  she's gonna be a whole new person
• 12:35
  Yeah.
• 12:36
  For people that are,
• 12:36
  my wife was a CrossFitter.
• 12:38
  She worked out with me all the time.
• 12:40
  And when her knees went bad,
• 12:42
  like she just couldn't do
• 12:44
  anything anymore.
• 12:45
  The pain was too great.
• 12:46
  And I'm really excited to get her back.
• 12:50
  um my wife in full back to
• 12:52
  to all that stuff so we can
• 12:54
  do all those things
• 12:55
  together um as a couple
• 12:57
  again instead of me out in
• 12:59
  the garage by myself and
• 13:00
  her wishing she could be
• 13:01
  there or um so um super
• 13:04
  excited about that um it's
• 13:06
  been a long road to get her
• 13:07
  approved but here we are
• 13:09
  First one tomorrow and then
• 13:11
  the other one about three
• 13:12
  months from now.
• 13:14
  And then she'll have two new knees.
• 13:16
  She wanted all the
• 13:17
  accessories like Bluetooth
• 13:18
  and that in the knee,
• 13:19
  but they said they weren't quite ready.
• 13:23
  She wanted to be able to
• 13:24
  answer her phone by just
• 13:25
  like tapping the one side, but they said,
• 13:29
  no, that's not available in this unit.
• 13:33
  All right.
• 13:34
  So with that,
• 13:35
  we'll get into some of the
• 13:37
  news of the week.
• 13:39
  If you have been under a rock,
• 13:42
  there was a podcast done
• 13:44
  overseas with Victor Hoffer.
• 13:48
  He was speaking in French.
• 13:50
  Now, if I listen to the spin,
• 13:53
  there was more than one
• 13:54
  language in the podcast.
• 13:57
  Carolyn, you speak French.
• 14:00
  So you listened to it and took notes.
• 14:02
  And we're going to let you
• 14:03
  tell us what was said in
• 14:05
  that podcast because people
• 14:07
  are reporting certain things.
• 14:09
  And my one frustration with
• 14:10
  that is Spin used AI to translate it,
• 14:14
  meaning that AI was the
• 14:16
  voice of Victor in the translation.
• 14:19
  And people are going, well,
• 14:20
  his tone told me this.
• 14:22
  It's not his tone.
• 14:23
  That is AI taking the
• 14:26
  translation and speaking like Victor,
• 14:28
  but it's not him speaking.
• 14:29
  It's crazy how much it
• 14:31
  sounds exactly like
• 14:32
  Victor's accent when he speaks English.
• 14:35
  Right.
• 14:35
  But it,
• 14:36
  but AI isn't going to read the tone.
• 14:37
  Yeah, no.
• 14:39
  Right.
• 14:39
  So,
• 14:41
  so you listen to it as a French
• 14:43
  speaking woman and tell us
• 14:46
  what you learned.
• 14:48
  Yeah, originally, like the start of it,
• 14:50
  they were just introducing
• 14:51
  how they'd gone to CrossFit,
• 14:52
  him and his girlfriend.
• 14:53
  I think his girlfriend
• 14:54
  speaks a little bit of French,
• 14:56
  but mostly English,
• 14:57
  and I think maybe like a German.
• 14:59
  I think there was someone
• 15:00
  that was talking to her in
• 15:01
  another language.
• 15:02
  I assumed it was German.
• 15:05
  But...
• 15:06
  Essentially, he talked about the season.
• 15:08
  He talked about the three
• 15:11
  stages that was going to happen.
• 15:12
  And he mentioned May, August and December.
• 15:15
  Since then,
• 15:15
  other people have thrown around
• 15:17
  September instead of August.
• 15:19
  So it would be May,
• 15:20
  September and December.
• 15:22
  And he said August and December.
• 15:25
  He talked about how some of
• 15:27
  the athletes plan on just
• 15:28
  doing that season.
• 15:31
  Circuit and other ones will
• 15:32
  be doing both as long as it
• 15:34
  doesn't like interfere and
• 15:36
  he doesn't think it'll interfere.
• 15:39
  How they like chose the
• 15:40
  athletes will talk to a lot
• 15:42
  of the main managers in the space.
• 15:44
  And this is like the new part that.
• 15:46
  like when we listened to all
• 15:47
  of the Will interviews,
• 15:48
  like he talked about his
• 15:50
  leaderboard of Rogue and
• 15:55
  the games to kind of form
• 15:56
  like a top sixteen.
• 15:58
  And then from there they
• 16:00
  picked like four extras.
• 16:03
  Victor didn't talk about any of that.
• 16:04
  He just said that Will was
• 16:06
  in contact with all of the
• 16:07
  main managers who then
• 16:09
  presented their athletes
• 16:10
  and stuff like that.
• 16:11
  And I believe that part, to be honest,
• 16:13
  to be true,
• 16:14
  because this is what we talked
• 16:15
  about last week or the week before.
• 16:17
  that, um, you know,
• 16:19
  that they chose their
• 16:20
  athletes and they weren't
• 16:21
  too worried about their,
• 16:23
  their choice because next
• 16:26
  year in twenty twenty six,
• 16:28
  the season will have probably, you know,
• 16:31
  new faces anyways with the
• 16:32
  qualifications of this year
• 16:33
  and how the points will will, you know,
• 16:36
  come about.
• 16:37
  So I think as long as all
• 16:38
  the main people were chosen, like
• 16:41
  I think there's a lot more
• 16:42
  in my opinion than four
• 16:44
  at-large bets for that.
• 16:49
  They definitely want to
• 16:49
  explore the European market
• 16:51
  was one of the things that
• 16:52
  he was happy about.
• 16:55
  The athletes get a salary
• 16:56
  plus there's money at each competition.
• 16:59
  he heard that the PFA was
• 17:00
  going to be associated with
• 17:03
  this new league and that in
• 17:06
  February they will have a rule,
• 17:08
  a rule book with every
• 17:09
  single movement from the year.
• 17:10
  So I haven't heard anyone talk about that,
• 17:12
  but we know that Brent had
• 17:14
  been working on that for a very,
• 17:16
  very long time and creating
• 17:18
  this rule book with all of
• 17:19
  the movement standards of
• 17:20
  every single movement so
• 17:21
  that it's very clear that
• 17:23
  what people are going to be able to do.
• 17:26
  Um, so I thought that was interesting.
• 17:30
  So I think that's cool that
• 17:31
  all the movements are there.
• 17:32
  So there's not going to be
• 17:33
  any surprises of the year
• 17:34
  of what movements can kind
• 17:36
  of be thrown out there.
• 17:37
  Um, with a lot of times the movements get,
• 17:40
  or their workouts getting released, um,
• 17:43
  like early so that
• 17:44
  broadcasts and judges and everyone can,
• 17:47
  can know about that.
• 17:50
  He's still recovering, taking things.
• 17:52
  What's that?
• 17:53
  I think that's an awesome piece.
• 17:55
  Yeah.
• 17:56
  Because I like that for the sport.
• 17:58
  I have been in the media pit
• 17:59
  where we didn't know what
• 18:01
  the standard was on a movement,
• 18:02
  and everybody's asking each other, like,
• 18:05
  should that have been a no rep,
• 18:06
  should that not?
• 18:07
  And because it could be one
• 18:08
  way or another in the standard,
• 18:10
  we don't know,
• 18:10
  and we're there covering the sport.
• 18:14
  What do you think the
• 18:14
  audience at home is doing?
• 18:15
  Mm-hmm.
• 18:18
  Yeah, I think, yeah,
• 18:19
  I think having a clear
• 18:21
  movement standards for the year at least.
• 18:23
  And if you want to add something new,
• 18:24
  you introduce it the
• 18:25
  following year for the rule book.
• 18:26
  And there's always that, you know,
• 18:29
  it's just clear for the sport.
• 18:30
  It doesn't need, it's still unknown,
• 18:33
  but there's still, you know,
• 18:34
  there's standards that are
• 18:35
  going to be the same at
• 18:37
  every one of their competitions.
• 18:39
  He said he's still recovering,
• 18:42
  taking things pretty slow
• 18:44
  and slowly getting back to peak form.
• 18:46
  But he doesn't need to be
• 18:47
  peak form until May,
• 18:48
  which is when their first
• 18:52
  competition is in person
• 18:54
  for the new league.
• 18:55
  And the open for him...
• 18:58
  He should be fine with like
• 18:59
  the one percent.
• 19:00
  So he's not looking to peak for that.
• 19:02
  So he's just kind of, you know,
• 19:03
  he talked about a foot, his adductor,
• 19:05
  just small little things, I think,
• 19:07
  still from last season,
• 19:08
  maybe bugging him.
• 19:09
  So recovering from that.
• 19:11
  And then he talked about.
• 19:13
  his life as a full-time
• 19:15
  athlete and how he has to
• 19:19
  be an influencer as well.
• 19:20
  And he was,
• 19:21
  he just kind of gave advice to
• 19:23
  younger people in the space, um,
• 19:25
  as they're, um,
• 19:27
  developing like in the sport,
• 19:28
  if they want to make this full-time,
• 19:30
  like he had a manager,
• 19:31
  which really helped him out.
• 19:32
  But sometimes he said that managers, um,
• 19:35
  some people just don't
• 19:35
  really need them yet.
• 19:37
  And so he talked about that.
• 19:40
  And the importance of his
• 19:41
  family support and stuff like that,
• 19:44
  because he wouldn't have
• 19:46
  been able to go full in if
• 19:47
  he hadn't had the family
• 19:48
  support to allow him to
• 19:49
  train full time for these
• 19:52
  years that he went all in on the sport.
• 19:55
  So, yeah, I think that was the main stuff.
• 19:57
  And then they started
• 19:58
  talking to the girlfriend on her path.
• 20:00
  So I didn't listen as much after that.
• 20:03
  So one of the questions that
• 20:05
  has come out is that he
• 20:07
  that he supposedly
• 20:08
  mentioned that in twenty six.
• 20:11
  Yes.
• 20:11
  They may go for exclusivity.
• 20:14
  Sorry, I forgot.
• 20:15
  I skipped that part.
• 20:17
  Yeah.
• 20:17
  So he talked.
• 20:18
  I was just like trying to
• 20:19
  look at my notes.
• 20:20
  I must have missed that.
• 20:21
  Yeah.
• 20:21
  So he talked about this first year,
• 20:24
  it being.
• 20:26
  people could do both.
• 20:28
  But then in twenty twenty six, you know,
• 20:31
  as people just kind of get
• 20:32
  their feet wet within it
• 20:33
  and kind of get a feel for
• 20:34
  what the league is in twenty twenty six,
• 20:35
  it would be more exclusive.
• 20:38
  So who knows at that point
• 20:41
  if that'll stay true or not.
• 20:44
  In all fairness,
• 20:44
  the spin has reported that
• 20:46
  will called him after he
• 20:49
  released that AI piece and said that, um,
• 20:53
  there were no talks about
• 20:54
  exclusivity beyond this year.
• 20:57
  And that, that is,
• 20:58
  that is not what they're looking for.
• 21:00
  If it would be,
• 21:00
  it would be much further
• 21:02
  down the road than that.
• 21:02
  Okay.
• 21:02
  Interesting.
• 21:09
  Um,
• 21:10
  but I think what everybody's
• 21:12
  getting up in arms about is
• 21:14
  that it seems that Will and
• 21:16
  Jackson on talking elite
• 21:18
  fitness and on this, on, um,
• 21:22
  coffee pots and wads said a,
• 21:26
  some things and now
• 21:27
  athletes are saying other things.
• 21:29
  Right.
• 21:30
  Um,
• 21:30
  and so everybody's getting up in arms
• 21:33
  about all of that.
• 21:35
  Um, including this exclusivity piece.
• 21:38
  Um,
• 21:39
  I know you watched some of
• 21:41
  the other interviews.
• 21:42
  Did you see much contradiction, Carolyn?
• 21:45
  No,
• 21:45
  just a few points that just haven't
• 21:47
  been brought up,
• 21:47
  like the rule book being
• 21:49
  released in February.
• 21:51
  That was new.
• 21:52
  The exclusivity part, that was new.
• 21:56
  He talked about the managers
• 21:57
  presenting their athletes.
• 21:58
  That was new,
• 21:59
  but also was not surprising because,
• 22:02
  like I said, we talked about that.
• 22:04
  The rest of it was basically
• 22:05
  in line with what we
• 22:07
  already knew about the new
• 22:08
  season in terms of the payment.
• 22:11
  None of the athletes are
• 22:11
  really going into detail on
• 22:13
  their salaries.
• 22:16
  I mean, I think some people have told,
• 22:18
  you know, John Young, for example,
• 22:20
  like Hopper,
• 22:22
  I think mentioned maybe his numbers.
• 22:24
  But for the most part,
• 22:25
  I think people haven't been
• 22:26
  talking about the money part.
• 22:29
  But yeah.
• 22:30
  So,
• 22:32
  so you said they talked about obviously
• 22:34
  paying the athletes,
• 22:35
  but then they're also being
• 22:36
  prizes at each comp.
• 22:39
  It has like,
• 22:41
  maybe we need to wait for more
• 22:42
  details on this,
• 22:43
  but it's just like a podium,
• 22:44
  just a one through three prize purse.
• 22:46
  Didn't say anything on that.
• 22:48
  Or if it's just,
• 22:48
  you're making your money
• 22:49
  from your contract.
• 22:50
  I'm not sure.
• 22:51
  And you said that they had
• 22:52
  to do at least two events
• 22:53
  out of the three.
• 22:55
  um yeah that's in case of
• 22:56
  injuries and stuff like
• 22:57
  that that's that was also
• 22:59
  um mentioned yeah I I
• 23:02
  understand the like the
• 23:05
  push for like a salary and
• 23:07
  keeping these people
• 23:08
  involved but I also I know
• 23:10
  spin brought it up in
• 23:11
  talking about like listen
• 23:13
  if like ten k is the bottom
• 23:15
  salary that we're offering
• 23:17
  then why not why not thirtieth place be
• 23:21
  three grand and go up from there.
• 23:23
  And that will, for me,
• 23:27
  I don't know if there's details.
• 23:30
  How do these challengers
• 23:32
  make money if it doesn't go that deep?
• 23:34
  They just have to hope and
• 23:35
  pray that they just got to
• 23:37
  get themselves to maybe
• 23:38
  Europe to go to one of these,
• 23:40
  hope and pray they make top
• 23:41
  twenty and get a card for next year.
• 23:43
  If you just always paid out
• 23:44
  the top thirty,
• 23:46
  even those challengers are
• 23:47
  getting some money and it's,
• 23:48
  it's helping get these
• 23:50
  athletes wanting to sign up
• 23:51
  for this travel to these
• 23:53
  far events and make some money.
• 23:56
  That's a good point for the challenger.
• 23:59
  I think the issue we have is
• 24:01
  that we don't know all these details.
• 24:03
  So we make up these
• 24:04
  scenarios in our head and
• 24:06
  we either swing it negative
• 24:07
  or positive without really
• 24:09
  knowing the whole story, right?
• 24:11
  Because I have heard that
• 24:13
  the prize money from the
• 24:14
  event is actually taken
• 24:16
  from what... So say you
• 24:20
  signed for ten grand and
• 24:22
  you win thirty grand at the event.
• 24:25
  you don't get an additional
• 24:27
  ten grand from your contract.
• 24:28
  That's just a floor.
• 24:35
  We don't know what the prize
• 24:36
  money is at the event.
• 24:38
  We don't know how deep it goes.
• 24:39
  We have no idea what that is.
• 24:42
  I hope it can cover
• 24:43
  challengers to continue
• 24:44
  because if you are a
• 24:46
  challenger and you're going
• 24:47
  to these events,
• 24:48
  it would be nice to come
• 24:50
  back with something.
• 24:51
  But again, at a professional level,
• 24:54
  there's a lot of
• 24:55
  athletes and golf and
• 24:56
  whatever that are going to
• 24:58
  these events and they're
• 24:59
  not making money if they're
• 25:00
  not making it to a certain point.
• 25:04
  But it just,
• 25:05
  it's going to discourage people from,
• 25:07
  from trying if, if it's very,
• 25:08
  very hard to take a pro
• 25:10
  spot because of the point
• 25:11
  system that they'll come up with.
• 25:12
  Um, and then let's say you,
• 25:14
  you do finish at a certain high placing,
• 25:16
  but it's still not enough
• 25:18
  that you don't get any money.
• 25:21
  Yeah.
• 25:24
  So the other thing that you said, Jamie,
• 25:26
  was that Spin had made the comment,
• 25:29
  why not just pay down so
• 25:31
  that the last place
• 25:32
  finisher gets X number of dollars?
• 25:35
  Well,
• 25:35
  we also know that those payouts don't
• 25:37
  happen immediately.
• 25:40
  They happen four months down the road.
• 25:44
  Where when you give someone
• 25:46
  a contract up front and now
• 25:47
  they have the money in the
• 25:48
  bank account to be able to
• 25:50
  pay for their trip,
• 25:51
  like that's a huge
• 25:52
  incentive for earning a pro card.
• 25:55
  Is it up front though right
• 25:56
  away or do you have to
• 25:58
  finish the season to get your money?
• 25:59
  I don't think that they'd be
• 26:00
  giving the money.
• 26:01
  You got to do drug testing.
• 26:02
  If they do drug testing,
• 26:04
  you got to go to your events.
• 26:06
  I don't think that they'd be giving money.
• 26:08
  ahead of time,
• 26:08
  maybe maybe thirty or fifty percent.
• 26:12
  But like,
• 26:13
  I can't imagine they're getting
• 26:14
  the whole check because
• 26:15
  you've got to make it
• 26:16
  through the season to earn
• 26:17
  the whole thing.
• 26:18
  And they want to wait and
• 26:19
  see where you place and
• 26:20
  what you're earning and
• 26:22
  what they don't have to pay you.
• 26:24
  Yeah, maybe you're right.
• 26:25
  I don't know.
• 26:28
  I don't know.
• 26:29
  But but he will did say
• 26:30
  there is drug testing and
• 26:33
  it's going to be both in at
• 26:35
  competition and in season.
• 26:38
  and are like in and whatever
• 26:40
  I'm trying to say all the
• 26:41
  time it can be randomly
• 26:42
  done at any point in time
• 26:43
  during the season it would
• 26:45
  be nice if events like you
• 26:46
  know rogue became part of
• 26:49
  let's say an actual circuit
• 26:51
  of of the year um either as
• 26:54
  a main event at the end
• 26:55
  with nine events and that's
• 26:57
  our championship as rogue
• 26:58
  puts it on like that would
• 27:00
  be cool yeah I mean
• 27:06
  I do agree with them though
• 27:07
  in the part where they want,
• 27:09
  they want to keep it their standards.
• 27:12
  If you're going to do a burpee,
• 27:13
  you're going to do our
• 27:14
  standard of burpee.
• 27:16
  And some of these bigger
• 27:17
  comps don't want to do that.
• 27:19
  Yeah, I agree.
• 27:22
  I like that they're putting
• 27:22
  on their own events.
• 27:23
  I think that's good.
• 27:25
  Well, it's small.
• 27:26
  I think that's fine.
• 27:28
  Now maybe you can form
• 27:29
  partnerships and agreements
• 27:30
  later once you've proven your concept.
• 27:34
  Um,
• 27:36
  But I think it's, you know, in here,
• 27:39
  people are saying Rogue is
• 27:41
  too close to CrossFit for that to happen.
• 27:43
  Rogue is adding the WFP as a
• 27:45
  point earner for their leaderboard.
• 27:48
  to select the twenty athletes.
• 27:50
  I think Rogue would take any opportunity.
• 27:53
  I don't think Rogue is
• 27:54
  necessarily tied down to only CrossFit.
• 27:56
  They're trying to expand.
• 27:58
  Outside, they're going to college,
• 28:00
  D-I programs, outfit.
• 28:03
  I think any opportunity that
• 28:04
  presents itself that seems
• 28:06
  interesting to Rogue,
• 28:07
  they would jump on it.
• 28:08
  Just walk around the Arnold
• 28:09
  and see how many things
• 28:10
  have Rogue's name on it.
• 28:12
  How many different sports?
• 28:14
  NFL plates and bars and the whole shebang.
• 28:19
  Yeah.
• 28:19
  Olympic lifting, strong man,
• 28:22
  all that stuff.
• 28:22
  Rogue.
• 28:24
  It's everywhere.
• 28:28
  Rogue is everywhere you want to be.
• 28:29
  Yeah.
• 28:32
  Just like Visa.
• 28:34
  so um there has been some
• 28:35
  new signings um over the
• 28:37
  weekend so I'm gonna just
• 28:38
  pull that up we'll go
• 28:40
  through a couple of those
• 28:44
  um as you can see here I'll
• 28:47
  blow this up a little bit
• 28:49
  danielle brandon signed
• 28:50
  today uh it's samuel quant
• 28:52
  signed today uh james
• 28:55
  sprague was yesterday I
• 28:57
  think ariel and emily were friday
• 29:00
  Um,
• 29:01
  and Gee was somewhere in that range too.
• 29:04
  Uh,
• 29:04
  Jay Crouch and Maddie Sturt signed on
• 29:06
  the same day.
• 29:07
  Surprise, surprise, uh, Bethany Flores,
• 29:11
  Ricky Gerard,
• 29:12
  and then the rest are all
• 29:13
  have been signed for, for a while now,
• 29:15
  but, um, the roster is pretty full.
• 29:20
  Um, we're probably at round at this point.
• 29:24
  Yeah.
• 29:27
  still some some big names
• 29:29
  out there I'm waiting to
• 29:30
  see uh if and when they
• 29:33
  sign uh my last take on
• 29:41
  this and I mentioned it on
• 29:42
  the round table and then we
• 29:43
  got some comments um
• 29:47
  between then and friday but
• 29:50
  I get irked sometimes.
• 29:55
  Wednesday, I was really irked.
• 29:56
  I'm just going to say.
• 29:58
  I watched around the whiteboard.
• 30:00
  Riff, riff, riff.
• 30:02
  I watched around the whiteboard,
• 30:03
  and then I watched the spin,
• 30:05
  and I just was like,
• 30:06
  everybody is attacking the
• 30:08
  WFP with all this negativity.
• 30:13
  We have been bitching about
• 30:14
  the CrossFit game season
• 30:16
  since twenty eighteen when
• 30:19
  everything changed, when Greg said, hey,
• 30:21
  enough is enough.
• 30:22
  I'm done funding this thing.
• 30:24
  We're going to do it differently.
• 30:25
  And and then it has changed
• 30:28
  every year since then.
• 30:32
  An organization has come in
• 30:34
  and has made it a very
• 30:36
  linear story from beginning to end,
• 30:39
  how you become a champion
• 30:41
  and earn a pro card and do
• 30:42
  all of this stuff.
• 30:45
  Why can't we just give them
• 30:46
  the benefit of the doubt
• 30:47
  and let them try?
• 30:49
  CrossFit has not moved
• 30:51
  anywhere toward what we
• 30:52
  have been bitching about
• 30:54
  for all these years.
• 30:56
  And someone is trying to do it.
• 30:58
  Can we not give them the
• 31:00
  benefit of the doubt to see
• 31:02
  if they can pull it off?
• 31:03
  I mean,
• 31:04
  I think we want to give them the
• 31:05
  benefit of the doubt.
• 31:06
  We want something,
• 31:07
  we want something to
• 31:08
  succeed and be done right.
• 31:09
  I think part of the problem
• 31:09
  is so many people have like
• 31:12
  put out so many ideas that,
• 31:15
  and I think first and foremost,
• 31:17
  all along we've said,
• 31:18
  you just need to be transparent.
• 31:21
  And they're not doing that
• 31:23
  number one thing that we want.
• 31:26
  And it makes it,
• 31:27
  it makes it hard to then
• 31:28
  trust them because we're
• 31:29
  just trusting another
• 31:30
  probably CrossFit person.
• 31:33
  Why are you saying?
• 31:34
  Will said in his statement
• 31:36
  that they are just
• 31:37
  releasing the stuff over
• 31:39
  the course of January.
• 31:41
  All of the details.
• 31:43
  We have not given them the
• 31:44
  opportunity to be transparent.
• 31:46
  This is a new organization
• 31:48
  that has a lot to tell us,
• 31:49
  and if they threw it all
• 31:51
  out there at once, it would be chaos.
• 31:55
  Would it?
• 31:55
  I mean,
• 31:56
  there's so many questions
• 31:57
  surrounding the point.
• 31:59
  The problem we have is the
• 32:00
  athletes can't keep their mouth shut.
• 32:02
  That too.
• 32:03
  So like you get little
• 32:04
  trickles of information.
• 32:05
  You're like, well, that doesn't add up.
• 32:07
  Then you're extra questioning things.
• 32:10
  Right.
• 32:11
  But we don't have all the
• 32:12
  details to know if the
• 32:13
  athletes even correct in
• 32:15
  what they heard or said.
• 32:16
  We're playing the telephone game.
• 32:17
  You're not wrong.
• 32:20
  Jackson and Will said,
• 32:22
  give us the month of
• 32:23
  January to release all the information.
• 32:28
  And Carolyn said that there
• 32:29
  will be a full rule book in February.
• 32:34
  So the rule book is going to
• 32:35
  have the points system.
• 32:37
  You have to wait for that.
• 32:38
  Cause like,
• 32:38
  there's a lot of things that
• 32:40
  like really matter for the
• 32:41
  season matter for people
• 32:42
  considering trying this.
• 32:45
  We've asked for transparency
• 32:46
  from CrossFit from since.
• 32:49
  Or just consistent season.
• 32:51
  Even,
• 32:52
  even this CrossFit game season with
• 32:53
  all the different rules for
• 32:55
  different semifinals.
• 32:56
  I'm sure we'll get into that,
• 32:57
  but like you have a
• 32:58
  qualifier coming up in a few weeks.
• 33:01
  That's the same weekend
• 33:02
  almost as Wadapalooza for the Europeans.
• 33:06
  What's that one called?
• 33:07
  Wadfest, right?
• 33:11
  Wadfest something.
• 33:13
  They have their qualifier
• 33:14
  coming up like January.
• 33:15
  January the eighteenth.
• 33:20
  That's basically right
• 33:21
  before Wadapalooza where a
• 33:22
  lot of athletes are competing there.
• 33:25
  And that's the only
• 33:26
  qualifier to get them to their semifinal.
• 33:28
  I mean,
• 33:29
  I don't know if they're inviting
• 33:29
  any athletes, but they wrote,
• 33:31
  I think top-twenty from
• 33:32
  that will compete for one
• 33:34
  of the two spots.
• 33:36
  I mean, if you had already signed up,
• 33:38
  let's say,
• 33:39
  for Wadapalooza and you're
• 33:39
  planning on doing that
• 33:41
  competition in Europe,
• 33:43
  mostly the Europeans,
• 33:44
  because I don't think many
• 33:44
  of the North Americans
• 33:45
  would be traveling at that
• 33:47
  time of the year with the
• 33:48
  online semifinal being next to it,
• 33:50
  but like,
• 33:52
  you didn't,
• 33:52
  you didn't know that you had to peak,
• 33:53
  not peak,
• 33:54
  but like be in top shape right
• 33:56
  now in January to qualify
• 33:57
  for your semifinal.
• 33:59
  Like that just got released
• 34:00
  like three weeks before.
• 34:01
  Like that's ridiculous.
• 34:04
  Like that's, that's so stupid.
• 34:06
  Like I'm not doing it, but I'm just saying,
• 34:08
  right.
• 34:09
  I'm not going to Europe.
• 34:11
  Bitching and complaining
• 34:12
  about all of that stuff for years.
• 34:14
  Yes.
• 34:15
  All of that stuff for years.
• 34:16
  And someone's trying to make it better.
• 34:19
  And like, and this is the stuff we get.
• 34:22
  Like Bruce is like,
• 34:23
  they're already conflicting
• 34:24
  with the CrossFit game season.
• 34:25
  They have no obligation to
• 34:27
  avoid the CrossFit game season.
• 34:29
  They can do whatever they want.
• 34:32
  They don't,
• 34:32
  but they've led people to
• 34:33
  believe that it's not going to conflict.
• 34:35
  So they said you can do both,
• 34:37
  but it does conflict.
• 34:38
  Like the May one is going to conflict.
• 34:41
  It will.
• 34:43
  It's going to be an issue.
• 34:44
  Yeah.
• 34:46
  I don't know.
• 34:47
  We'll see.
• 34:48
  Like you have choices at this point.
• 34:52
  You're going to get to the
• 34:52
  point where you don't have
• 34:54
  time for those choices.
• 34:55
  Like you don't want,
• 34:58
  you don't want to know in February.
• 34:59
  Like, I mean, that's,
• 35:01
  it's like about three months maybe,
• 35:03
  but like you would like
• 35:04
  more time to plan a trip in May.
• 35:08
  If you need to,
• 35:09
  you would like to know where it is.
• 35:11
  Start looking at hotels.
• 35:12
  For ticket sales.
• 35:13
  Start looking at flights.
• 35:14
  Like, I would like to know those dates.
• 35:17
  But, like, for ticket sales, like,
• 35:19
  you need to start filling the stamps.
• 35:20
  You need to sell your tickets.
• 35:21
  You can't be releasing things last minute.
• 35:24
  People need to plan their trips, et cetera,
• 35:26
  like, athletes and fans for both leagues.
• 35:29
  Agreed.
• 35:30
  But...
• 35:31
  yeah for the crossing ones I
• 35:33
  was just surprised at how
• 35:34
  different every
• 35:36
  everything's being and the
• 35:38
  fact that some athletes
• 35:39
  need to be ready to qualify
• 35:41
  for their semi-final next
• 35:42
  like in two weeks I was
• 35:43
  like oh so this is the last
• 35:48
  thing I'm going to say and
• 35:48
  then maybe we need another
• 35:50
  show for this and maybe
• 35:51
  we'll have more information
• 35:52
  next week about this we
• 35:54
  have a lot on the agenda
• 35:55
  tonight so maybe next week
• 35:56
  is a better time to get
• 35:57
  into all of it but
• 35:59
  Will said, and Jackson said,
• 36:02
  that this first year they
• 36:03
  are crunched in for time.
• 36:05
  But the plan is to give
• 36:07
  ample opportunity and time for every,
• 36:10
  and my guess is the rule
• 36:12
  book isn't going to change
• 36:13
  that much year to year.
• 36:15
  It's going to be tweaks and
• 36:17
  little adjustments.
• 36:19
  And he said that in the fear
• 36:22
  of having leaks,
• 36:23
  we're going to put it out
• 36:24
  so early the following year
• 36:26
  that people are going to know everything.
• 36:30
  love that so again they said
• 36:32
  that up front right it's
• 36:35
  not like they said hey the
• 36:37
  rulebook's coming out
• 36:37
  november and then january
• 36:39
  third here you go like
• 36:41
  crossfit's done for the
• 36:42
  past five years right like
• 36:48
  let's just take a breath
• 36:50
  give them some time to put this out um
• 36:57
  I think they have a plan.
• 36:59
  I do think they have a plan.
• 37:01
  I really do.
• 37:02
  But I am the naive one in this group.
• 37:05
  No, no.
• 37:07
  I'm a believer.
• 37:08
  I think it's going to – like
• 37:10
  I have faith in what
• 37:12
  they're putting together.
• 37:13
  I just – I do think that
• 37:14
  they – I don't know if they
• 37:16
  had it planned right to
• 37:17
  start this year or they –
• 37:19
  or after everything that
• 37:21
  happened with the games, they,
• 37:22
  they were like, this is the time.
• 37:24
  Like we got to put it, put our,
• 37:25
  all our chips in right now to,
• 37:27
  to get this thing going.
• 37:28
  And then they had more
• 37:29
  people buy in and people were looking,
• 37:31
  looking for maybe something else to,
• 37:34
  to explore.
• 37:34
  So I will say this,
• 37:36
  if done right in twenty, twenty six,
• 37:39
  they could possibly go
• 37:40
  exclusive and make the athletes decide.
• 37:44
  And at that point,
• 37:45
  if CrossFit wants to sell off the company,
• 37:47
  and this is something that
• 37:47
  they could sell off, like,
• 37:50
  I mean,
• 37:50
  they wouldn't have to worry about
• 37:51
  the money that they spent on the games.
• 37:53
  And I don't know.
• 37:56
  I guess we will see.
• 37:56
  But that can be another
• 37:59
  discussion for another day, though.
• 38:01
  If you go back and listen to
• 38:02
  my interview with Will
• 38:03
  right before the syndicate crown,
• 38:06
  there are indications in
• 38:07
  that interview that something was coming.
• 38:11
  And that is before anything
• 38:12
  happened at the games.
• 38:13
  Now,
• 38:13
  could their timeline have been bumped up?
• 38:16
  Sure.
• 38:18
  There are definitely
• 38:19
  indications in that
• 38:20
  interview if you re-listen to it.
• 38:22
  I didn't know what I was
• 38:22
  hearing at the time because
• 38:24
  it's a lot easier to understand now.
• 38:26
  But there's definitely,
• 38:28
  he knew something was
• 38:30
  coming at that moment.
• 38:32
  Well, yeah.
• 38:32
  I mean, he said that.
• 38:33
  They had a plan whether it
• 38:34
  was this gym that was going
• 38:37
  to profit for kids or whatever.
• 38:39
  There's been a plan.
• 38:40
  It just changed.
• 38:41
  It morphed.
• 38:43
  Yeah.
• 38:44
  And we don't know what the plan was then.
• 38:46
  And I'll just take him at his word.
• 38:48
  I have reached out to him.
• 38:50
  I have gave a lot of things
• 38:54
  I want to talk to him about
• 38:57
  on and off the air.
• 38:57
  So I'm waiting to hear back on that.
• 39:00
  And hopefully we can have
• 39:02
  this conversation with him.
• 39:03
  Yeah.
• 39:05
  So with that, let's move on for now.
• 39:09
  And we'll come back to this, I'm sure,
• 39:10
  next week.
• 39:12
  As this is not going to go away.
• 39:16
  We already talked.
• 39:17
  Oh, last thing on the WFP.
• 39:20
  And we talked about last
• 39:21
  week how it's not the top twenty.
• 39:24
  It is.
• 39:25
  It was like you said,
• 39:26
  the managers got together,
• 39:28
  spin put together using the rogue points.
• 39:31
  And it's actually not as bad
• 39:32
  as I thought it was.
• 39:35
  Right now,
• 39:36
  they have less than four outside
• 39:37
  the top twenty using the
• 39:39
  rogues point standards.
• 39:41
  Okay.
• 39:43
  on each side and it was
• 39:44
  supposed to be four at
• 39:45
  large and that the rest
• 39:47
  came from the top.
• 39:48
  Um, so, uh, so it,
• 39:54
  he has it on his website
• 39:55
  and he updates it as they
• 39:57
  announced more athletes, um,
• 39:59
  where they finished in the rogue points.
• 40:03
  And so it's,
• 40:04
  it's not as bad as I thought
• 40:05
  it was last week,
• 40:07
  but that's if you trust the
• 40:10
  rogue points and how they do it.
• 40:17
  Um,
• 40:17
  so news across the CrossFit game season.
• 40:20
  So we're going to stop the WFP.
• 40:22
  We're going to talk about
• 40:23
  the CrossFit game season.
• 40:26
  Ah,
• 40:26
  there was a joint announcement from the
• 40:29
  fittest experience and the
• 40:30
  syndicate crown that they are going to be,
• 40:34
  um,
• 40:35
  holding events that are exclusive to
• 40:39
  North America,
• 40:40
  East and North America West.
• 40:44
  and I have this map,
• 40:48
  you can see that the
• 40:49
  Syndicate Crown is only
• 40:51
  going to allow competitors
• 40:53
  from what was last year the
• 40:55
  North America East.
• 40:58
  The Fittest Experience is
• 40:59
  only going to allow
• 41:00
  athletes who were part of
• 41:02
  North America West.
• 41:05
  This also happened with the
• 41:07
  Renegade Games in Africa.
• 41:10
  They're only taking African athletes.
• 41:13
  The Far East Throwdown has
• 41:15
  announced they're taking
• 41:16
  people from all over the world.
• 41:22
  We talked about the stuff
• 41:23
  that we complained about
• 41:25
  with the CrossFit Games season.
• 41:28
  Could we not get any more
• 41:30
  confusing than letting
• 41:33
  these people pick whether
• 41:34
  they are a regional
• 41:37
  in-person semifinal or
• 41:38
  they're just a worldwide
• 41:40
  in-person semifinal?
• 41:42
  Yeah, it's crazy.
• 41:46
  That's the biggest miss for me.
• 41:47
  Like, they should just all be open.
• 41:52
  Really, I mean, you're looking,
• 41:55
  we're not doing regionals.
• 41:58
  Like,
• 41:59
  it just needs to be find the fittest.
• 42:00
  You've cut it to thirty people,
• 42:02
  you better find the thirty
• 42:03
  fittest people.
• 42:05
  We talked about when this
• 42:06
  was first announced that
• 42:07
  there were no regions
• 42:08
  associated with this.
• 42:10
  And that was enticing
• 42:11
  because finally we'll get
• 42:13
  the thirty fittest people
• 42:15
  to the CrossFit Games.
• 42:17
  And that makes sense.
• 42:18
  Now you're going to get the
• 42:22
  fittest person from Africa,
• 42:24
  but you're not guaranteed
• 42:25
  to get the fittest person from Far East.
• 42:29
  Nope.
• 42:32
  Like this makes sense in the
• 42:34
  sense that more people can
• 42:35
  do semifinals in person,
• 42:38
  like in terms of like not
• 42:39
  allowing the same athletes
• 42:40
  to just take up all the spots always.
• 42:42
  Um,
• 42:44
  but I don't like the inconsistency
• 42:46
  between each one of them.
• 42:47
  We're either all going back
• 42:49
  to what it was or it's all open.
• 42:51
  Um,
• 42:53
  But having some that are open,
• 42:55
  some that aren't, that part is confusing.
• 42:57
  Their process itself of the
• 43:01
  syndicate and the TFX is not confusing.
• 43:03
  It makes total sense.
• 43:05
  But what Jamie is referring
• 43:08
  to that's confusing is
• 43:09
  which semifinal in-person is open to who.
• 43:16
  And there should be some
• 43:17
  sort of consistency.
• 43:18
  I get it's the owner or the
• 43:22
  host to decide.
• 43:24
  should be it should be
• 43:26
  uniform let me throw the
• 43:27
  grenade on this if you're
• 43:29
  going back to what it was
• 43:30
  last year are we are we
• 43:32
  taking the exemptions right
• 43:34
  no so this it's whatever
• 43:36
  Jim you're you're signing
• 43:37
  up for the open okay so I
• 43:41
  could technically do I
• 43:43
  could technically go do the
• 43:44
  open in California and then
• 43:48
  would be eligible to be in
• 43:50
  the West yeah okay without an exemption
• 43:54
  Okay.
• 43:55
  It's where,
• 43:55
  where your affiliate is signed
• 43:57
  up that you're competing under.
• 44:00
  Trish said there are other
• 44:01
  American sanctions.
• 44:02
  There's one other American
• 44:04
  sanction and it is mayhem.
• 44:05
  And there's rumor that they
• 44:06
  may just take mayhem athletes or no way.
• 44:11
  Why not?
• 44:11
  Why can't I start that rumor?
• 44:15
  If it's up to the, if it's up to the,
• 44:17
  That's a good rumor, Scott.
• 44:19
  If it's up to the sanctional
• 44:21
  or whatever these in-person semifinal,
• 44:23
  why can't Rich go, Hey,
• 44:25
  let's take care of our own.
• 44:26
  This is a mayhem athlete
• 44:28
  only in-person semifinal
• 44:30
  top to go to the games.
• 44:32
  Yeah.
• 44:32
  Cause he knows better not to do that.
• 44:39
  Mine scored.
• 44:41
  Yep.
• 44:42
  Seven, nothing.
• 44:44
  Ah,
• 44:46
  I hate, I hate this.
• 44:48
  The one that I hate the most
• 44:49
  is just even the way you qualify to each,
• 44:51
  right?
• 44:52
  Like mayhem is just, it's by the open.
• 44:55
  Uh, Torian has a week after, um,
• 44:58
  wad fest one is, uh, in January.
• 45:05
  Yeah, that was weird.
• 45:07
  I love Torians.
• 45:08
  I think that is the way to think.
• 45:12
  Another one is right before
• 45:14
  the Open in February, I think,
• 45:16
  is another one.
• 45:17
  Maybe?
• 45:19
  Other qualifier?
• 45:21
  There's an online qualifier
• 45:22
  for one of them.
• 45:23
  And then there's still some
• 45:24
  that we don't have the details on.
• 45:26
  So Jay Birch,
• 45:27
  I think you're confusing the
• 45:29
  elite semifinal with the community event.
• 45:33
  The community is inviting
• 45:35
  the top thirty people from
• 45:38
  the RX division of TFX.
• 45:41
  And then additionally
• 45:42
  through other aspects like the open,
• 45:45
  things like that.
• 45:46
  And it's an invitation only
• 45:48
  to their community event at TFX.
• 45:51
  Syndicate Crown is having a
• 45:54
  community event that is a two-man,
• 45:56
  two-woman team event, and it's bigger.
• 45:59
  It has more athletes than
• 46:00
  the elite semifinal.
• 46:03
  How do the teams qualify?
• 46:07
  I think it's only online.
• 46:10
  And then in-person is just
• 46:11
  for experience before the
• 46:13
  in-person games.
• 46:13
  Interesting.
• 46:20
  Very interesting.
• 46:23
  This leaderboard being
• 46:25
  locked the day after is
• 46:28
  mind-boggling to me as well.
• 46:29
  It's CrossFit.
• 46:32
  So did we need a fall open
• 46:34
  for this to actually work
• 46:35
  like it did before?
• 46:37
  A fall?
• 46:37
  Yes.
• 46:38
  A fall.
• 46:39
  Like do it in October like
• 46:41
  they did before.
• 46:42
  To allow the leaderboard to get finalized,
• 46:45
  the video reviews.
• 46:46
  The all-time low attendance for an open.
• 46:48
  Yeah,
• 46:50
  I don't think we want to go back to that.
• 46:51
  I don't think we want to go back to that.
• 46:57
  uh kenneth says teams get
• 46:58
  the master's treatment
• 47:01
  welcome to the club folks
• 47:06
  uh so so yeah that's that's
• 47:08
  that bit of news um so
• 47:11
  that's fun and we talked
• 47:13
  about the far east throwdown
• 47:17
  So before we get into the
• 47:19
  gauntlet workouts,
• 47:19
  I'm going to talk about
• 47:20
  Rogue because we talked about it briefly.
• 47:23
  They did change their point
• 47:24
  system for qualification to
• 47:25
  Rogue by adding the WFP and
• 47:28
  all in-person qualifiers
• 47:30
  from the CrossFit game season.
• 47:32
  So both of those are ways to
• 47:33
  earn points in the Rogue point system.
• 47:36
  They've also announced when
• 47:38
  the twenty twenty five
• 47:39
  Rogue Invitational will be.
• 47:41
  And it is October thirty
• 47:42
  first through November second in Aberdeen,
• 47:45
  Scotland again.
• 47:47
  Carolyn was there this year, um,
• 47:50
  said it was an amazing experience.
• 47:53
  I'll let her finish if she
• 47:54
  wants to say anymore.
• 47:56
  No, I mean, that was, that was awesome.
• 48:03
  Awesome.
• 48:05
  So.
• 48:07
  if you guys have your,
• 48:09
  your gauntlet workouts in a
• 48:11
  typed form and want to
• 48:13
  email them to me while
• 48:14
  we're talking about some of
• 48:16
  the other entries that came in,
• 48:18
  I'll be able to pull them up that way.
• 48:20
  I don't have mine in typed form.
• 48:25
  Okay.
• 48:26
  I can try to type it.
• 48:28
  I did not listen.
• 48:29
  I needed to put more time into this,
• 48:30
  but I've been at the gym for like,
• 48:32
  I can just send it to them.
• 48:33
  I can just select and then
• 48:34
  email it to myself quickly.
• 48:37
  Okay,
• 48:37
  I'll start with mine so you guys can
• 48:39
  rip on me first.
• 48:41
  And then we'll go to the contestants,
• 48:44
  and then I'll pull up yours
• 48:46
  as the experts in programming afterwards.
• 48:52
  So I'm going to share this window.
• 48:55
  So this is my gauntlet workout.
• 48:58
  I will blow this up.
• 49:01
  So the way I did mine was there are four,
• 49:04
  fifteen minute stations so
• 49:07
  that the rotation is even
• 49:09
  and you can move from from
• 49:11
  event to event and it
• 49:12
  doesn't have any backup.
• 49:18
  So.
• 49:31
  okay so here we go so the
• 49:35
  first station is a two two
• 49:37
  k row ten minute time cap
• 49:42
  and then a fifteen minute
• 49:43
  transition time because
• 49:46
  this you're going to need a
• 49:47
  little bit of rest before
• 49:47
  you go to the next one and
• 49:50
  then we go to the chief
• 49:54
  For regular RX people,
• 49:55
  it's going to be the regular chief,
• 49:57
  but twelve rounds for time, three cleans,
• 50:00
  six hand-release push-ups,
• 50:03
  nine air squats.
• 50:06
  For elite athletes competing,
• 50:08
  it would be three cleans,
• 50:10
  a little bit heavier, one eighty-five,
• 50:13
  one thirty-five, six handstand push-ups,
• 50:16
  nine pistols.
• 50:21
  Then three-minute transition
• 50:22
  from that twelve-minute cap,
• 50:24
  workout three, five rounds for time,
• 50:27
  fifteen toes to bar, thirty double-unders,
• 50:29
  fifteen dumbbell box step-overs, fifty,
• 50:33
  thirty-five, twenty-four, twenty,
• 50:35
  ten-minute cap, five-minute transition,
• 50:38
  and then workout four for
• 50:40
  the elite five rounds for time,
• 50:41
  fifteen thrusters at one, fifteen,
• 50:43
  eighty-five, twenty burpee over the bar,
• 50:46
  And then RX is five rounds for time,
• 50:48
  fifteen thrusters, ninety five,
• 50:50
  sixty five,
• 50:51
  and then twenty burpee over the bar cap,
• 50:53
  twelve minutes.
• 50:58
  Love it.
• 51:00
  So I tried to not go to barbell intensive,
• 51:03
  so it didn't take a lot of
• 51:07
  a lot of equipment on the floor.
• 51:10
  But I wanted to.
• 51:11
  To give a little bit of everything,
• 51:13
  some gymnastics, uh,
• 51:14
  the two K monostructural row, um,
• 51:17
  for pure, uh,
• 51:18
  for PR pure cardio and recovery, uh,
• 51:21
  and start that off as the first thing.
• 51:24
  Um, yeah.
• 51:28
  And the chief is my favorite workout.
• 51:30
  So I wanted to add it
• 51:32
  somehow just for personal gratification.
• 51:34
  It is a great workout.
• 51:39
  Um, so yeah.
• 51:44
  So all this would be done in
• 51:45
  sixty minutes and then
• 51:48
  you're done and you move on
• 51:49
  and we have this and people
• 51:51
  are asking what this is.
• 51:52
  If you didn't follow us the
• 51:53
  last the last couple weeks,
• 51:57
  High Rocks has become so
• 51:58
  popular as a community event.
• 52:00
  Can we create a CrossFit
• 52:02
  traveling event where the
• 52:04
  community can come out
• 52:05
  together as a group and go through this
• 52:10
  And we're saying gauntlet
• 52:11
  because Waterpalooza does
• 52:12
  something very similar to this,
• 52:14
  but it doesn't travel.
• 52:15
  It's an hour-long workout
• 52:17
  that you go through at
• 52:18
  Waterpalooza as a community.
• 52:20
  Can we do that in a traveling way?
• 52:23
  And the goal was to come up with these,
• 52:26
  and we put it out to the audience.
• 52:28
  And if you sent one in,
• 52:29
  you go and do a drawing for
• 52:32
  one of our new Clydesdale
• 52:36
  water jugs or coffee cups.
• 52:38
  Yes.
• 52:43
  Uh, I just sent you one.
• 52:47
  Yeah,
• 52:47
  it's basically a traveling gauntlet
• 52:49
  that just is more
• 52:49
  CrossFit-y than High Rocks.
• 52:51
  And that kind of hits everything,
• 52:53
  but still pretty easy to judge,
• 52:56
  like was my thing.
• 53:01
  And not too high skilled
• 53:05
  that it deviates like so
• 53:08
  many people from doing it.
• 53:10
  Because I think what
• 53:10
  attracts High Rocks is that
• 53:12
  it's very attainable.
• 53:16
  There's no high skill, no heavy movement.
• 53:19
  So just a little bit more.
• 53:23
  Two stations that have the elite option.
• 53:26
  I didn't do all four,
• 53:28
  just two of them where it
• 53:30
  went up a little bit in
• 53:31
  weight and a little bit more in skill,
• 53:34
  but didn't take a lot of
• 53:35
  different floor space or
• 53:36
  anything like that.
• 53:39
  So, yeah.
• 53:42
  I tried to think of that.
• 53:42
  The only thing I was worried
• 53:43
  about is the pistols.
• 53:46
  Those are always hard to judge.
• 53:48
  That was my only real,
• 53:50
  but I added hand release
• 53:51
  pushups to the chief
• 53:53
  because those are make it
• 53:54
  easier to judge a pushup
• 53:56
  than just straight pushups.
• 53:58
  Go down here.
• 53:59
  So go,
• 54:00
  go back to the top and then just
• 54:01
  scroll down again.
• 54:03
  So the two K row, then the chief.
• 54:09
  Trish said that there was no
• 54:10
  monostructural,
• 54:10
  but there's a two K row and
• 54:12
  then there's double unders.
• 54:16
  And for the elites, honestly,
• 54:18
  burpees are pretty,
• 54:19
  I know they're not
• 54:20
  considered that it's a
• 54:20
  gymnastics movement,
• 54:21
  but it can get pretty repetitive, but.
• 54:27
  So, yeah.
• 54:29
  So I can.
• 54:30
  Morning pressing.
• 54:35
  Yep.
• 54:35
  I mean, I, I really tried.
• 54:37
  Yeah,
• 54:37
  because I always look at like
• 54:39
  movement patterns,
• 54:40
  like if it's everything is
• 54:41
  in the same movement pattern,
• 54:42
  if you have like a
• 54:43
  horizontal and a vertical press,
• 54:45
  if you have something
• 54:47
  that's just good for short people,
• 54:48
  but like the last part is
• 54:50
  very good for short people,
• 54:50
  but then a two K row
• 54:52
  balances that out where all
• 54:53
  of a sudden now you're not
• 54:55
  just needing to be short for this, right?
• 55:02
  Step over.
• 55:02
  So you got legs there.
• 55:03
  No wonder it's toast of our good.
• 55:10
  I had to put double unders
• 55:11
  so I could beat Carolyn in something.
• 55:13
  Just kidding.
• 55:14
  I didn't put double unders in mine.
• 55:19
  I didn't want any judging
• 55:21
  stuff like the double
• 55:23
  unders where sometimes the
• 55:24
  counting can be meh.
• 55:27
  And then they're having to
• 55:28
  bring their equipment on the floor,
• 55:30
  which I didn't want.
• 55:33
  Um, okay.
• 55:35
  But I'm good with yours.
• 55:36
  I like it.
• 55:37
  Here is the, the crowd.
• 55:41
  So Kaylee Brock, um,
• 55:43
  long time listener from way
• 55:44
  back in the day, uh,
• 55:46
  she used the open workouts, uh,
• 55:49
  So hers in shorthand is in a
• 55:52
  twenty five minute window,
• 55:53
  sixteen point two or
• 55:54
  nineteen point two into a
• 55:56
  twenty minute window of
• 55:57
  twenty one twenty point one.
• 55:59
  The remaining time,
• 56:00
  twenty four point three.
• 56:01
  And I wrote it all out.
• 56:03
  So sixteen point two,
• 56:05
  twenty five minute window
• 56:07
  is the whole beginning on a
• 56:08
  four minute clock,
• 56:09
  completing as many reps of
• 56:11
  twenty five toes to bar,
• 56:12
  fifteen double unders,
• 56:13
  fifteen squat cleans.
• 56:15
  If completed before four minutes,
• 56:18
  add four minutes to the
• 56:20
  clock and proceed to
• 56:22
  twenty-five toes to bar,
• 56:23
  fifty double unders,
• 56:24
  and thirteen squat cleans.
• 56:26
  And the squat cleans keep
• 56:27
  going up in weight.
• 56:29
  If you remember that one.
• 56:31
  They go up in weight but down in reps.
• 56:33
  And you stop at twenty minutes.
• 56:38
  Then twenty point one is ten
• 56:41
  rounds for time,
• 56:42
  eight ground to overhead at
• 56:44
  sixty five pounds and ninety five pounds,
• 56:47
  ten bar facing burpees.
• 56:49
  And then twenty four point
• 56:50
  three is five rounds of ten thrusters,
• 56:54
  ten chest to bar pull ups,
• 56:55
  rest one minute,
• 56:56
  then five rounds of seven
• 56:58
  thrusters at weight to
• 57:00
  seven bar muscle ups.
• 57:02
  And I think the weights were sixty five,
• 57:04
  ninety five, ninety five,
• 57:06
  one thirty five.
• 57:09
  I just think because of the
• 57:10
  squat clean you don't need
• 57:11
  the thruster because you're
• 57:13
  going heavy squat clean you
• 57:14
  don't need to maybe keep
• 57:16
  going on that last part if
• 57:18
  you if you have another
• 57:20
  movement there maybe into a
• 57:22
  snatch but I like that idea
• 57:23
  of old open workouts you're muted jamie
• 57:35
  So, sorry.
• 57:36
  I do love the idea of old open workouts.
• 57:38
  I think using a time-gated
• 57:41
  workout in something like
• 57:42
  this is not a great idea.
• 57:45
  Like...
• 57:46
  yeah for one judging
• 57:48
  someone's on a some some
• 57:50
  judge would mess that up
• 57:51
  and let somebody keep
• 57:52
  working I think when you
• 57:54
  pay to go to these things
• 57:55
  you want that's why people
• 57:57
  go to high rocks is they
• 57:58
  get to work out
• 57:59
  continuously for sixty to
• 58:01
  an hour and a half or
• 58:02
  whatever it takes them and
• 58:03
  they're just moving through
• 58:04
  this whole thing like
• 58:05
  nobody wants to only get
• 58:06
  through the four minutes
• 58:07
  and stand there for the
• 58:08
  next sixteen minutes to
• 58:09
  move on to the next section like
• 58:12
  It's got to be rounds for
• 58:13
  time or an AMRAP where they
• 58:14
  just get to keep trying
• 58:16
  things and keep moving.
• 58:17
  Agree.
• 58:20
  The way I looked at it, some of the,
• 58:22
  some of like a two K row
• 58:25
  needs a little bit of rest
• 58:26
  before you go to the next thing.
• 58:28
  If you're giving everything
• 58:29
  you have on a two K row, you're gassed.
• 58:32
  Yep.
• 58:34
  And so that's the way I built,
• 58:35
  but it wouldn't be one there.
• 58:37
  You could pull back your two
• 58:38
  K row and save ten seconds
• 58:41
  for what you're going to
• 58:41
  make up on somewhere else.
• 58:43
  If I look at yours,
• 58:44
  I'm not going all in on that two K row.
• 58:46
  Someone's going to think
• 58:48
  they can beat their buddy
• 58:49
  by doing the two K row.
• 58:51
  Good for them.
• 58:51
  Try it.
• 58:52
  You know that everybody
• 58:53
  falls into the trap.
• 58:57
  Yeah.
• 58:59
  All right.
• 59:00
  So then we have Pat Midgley.
• 59:03
  He has a lot of caveats with his.
• 59:07
  um it's a sixty minute
• 59:08
  version note I like the
• 59:09
  simplicity of this as well
• 59:11
  as the flow the gear list
• 59:12
  is relatively minimal and
• 59:13
  there's only one plate
• 59:14
  change in the hour I left
• 59:16
  six minutes at the end to
• 59:17
  reset for the next heat
• 59:19
  which would still be pretty
• 59:20
  tight I don't think it's
• 59:21
  pretty good test and
• 59:22
  whatever so then he says he
• 59:24
  tried to not do anything in
• 59:26
  common with hyrox ah okay
• 59:27
  cool uh he does have roski and burpees
• 59:37
  uh and then he we can go
• 59:39
  over this later but um
• 59:42
  stage one zero to nine
• 59:43
  minutes twenty one fifty
• 59:44
  nine for time with a nine
• 59:46
  minute cap row calories
• 59:48
  burpee over the rower oh
• 59:50
  that's mine stage two
• 59:53
  jamie's signing up already
• 59:54
  she doesn't even need to
• 59:55
  hear the rest no that's my
• 59:56
  work that's what my first
• 59:58
  stage it first okay workout is
• 1:00:00
  Stage two, fifteen to twenty five minutes.
• 1:00:03
  I am wrapped ten, fifteen,
• 1:00:04
  twelve calorie ski,
• 1:00:06
  twelve handstand push up
• 1:00:07
  strict or kipping twelve,
• 1:00:09
  twelve deadlifts, twelve toes to bar.
• 1:00:16
  Oh, and you're not seeing this.
• 1:00:17
  I need to stop sharing and
• 1:00:18
  sharing again here.
• 1:00:19
  Hold on.
• 1:00:28
  I'm hitting the wrong
• 1:00:29
  buttons left and right.
• 1:00:30
  There we go.
• 1:00:33
  All right.
• 1:00:34
  Stage three,
• 1:00:35
  three rounds for time with a
• 1:00:37
  ten-minute cap,
• 1:00:38
  seventy-five double-unders,
• 1:00:39
  twenty-five twenty cal echo,
• 1:00:42
  ten ground to overhead.
• 1:00:46
  And then stage four,
• 1:00:49
  forty eight to fifty four
• 1:00:51
  for time with a six minute cap,
• 1:00:53
  twenty thrusters, twenty chest to bar,
• 1:00:56
  twenty overhead squat, ten bar muscle ups,
• 1:00:59
  sprint to the finish,
• 1:01:00
  approximately a fifty foot lane.
• 1:01:05
  I would totally sign up for this one.
• 1:01:06
  I love it.
• 1:01:14
  thrusters, overhead squats.
• 1:01:18
  I think it's ground overhead.
• 1:01:22
  It's honestly not that much
• 1:01:22
  different than mine.
• 1:01:35
  And then finally is Craig.
• 1:01:38
  Two twenty five one eighty five.
• 1:01:39
  I like that.
• 1:01:40
  OK, I'm into that workout.
• 1:01:42
  Deadlift.
• 1:01:44
  Three rounds, assault bike,
• 1:01:45
  fifteen to twelve calorie deadlift,
• 1:01:48
  two twenty five, one eighty five,
• 1:01:50
  fifteen reps and then
• 1:01:51
  burpee box jump up twenty four,
• 1:01:53
  twenty ten reps.
• 1:01:56
  Rest period workout to four rounds,
• 1:01:59
  jump rope, fifty dumbbell box,
• 1:02:01
  step over twenty four, twenty fifty,
• 1:02:03
  thirty five,
• 1:02:04
  thirty reps and then ground
• 1:02:06
  to overhead one fifteen
• 1:02:07
  eighty five for fifteen reps.
• 1:02:09
  Rest period five K row to finish.
• 1:02:21
  how many times would you
• 1:02:22
  want to sign up for that
• 1:02:23
  yeah after the deadlifts
• 1:02:27
  I'm done so so that was
• 1:02:34
  them and then Carolyn you
• 1:02:37
  said you sent me in an email yeah
• 1:02:42
  Jamie texted me,
• 1:02:43
  so I don't know how to do that.
• 1:02:45
  Well, shoot.
• 1:02:46
  Like mine,
• 1:02:47
  I didn't want any equipment that
• 1:02:48
  would like a rope in terms
• 1:02:50
  of like rope climbs.
• 1:02:52
  I don't want to deal with
• 1:02:53
  anyone falling from the rope.
• 1:02:54
  I didn't want to deal with
• 1:02:55
  any inverted stuff just
• 1:02:57
  because some people,
• 1:02:58
  if it's a mass participation thing,
• 1:03:00
  I just didn't want to deal
• 1:03:01
  with certain movements.
• 1:03:03
  That was one of my
• 1:03:04
  restrictions that I had.
• 1:03:06
  All right.
• 1:03:08
  Here is Carolyn's.
• 1:03:12
  Station one, zero to fifteen.
• 1:03:14
  Four hundred meter run.
• 1:03:16
  Twenty one burpees a plate.
• 1:03:19
  Fifteen sandbag clean hand
• 1:03:21
  release and nine bar muscle ups.
• 1:03:24
  A hundred seventy pounds for
• 1:03:27
  regular division.
• 1:03:28
  Yeah.
• 1:03:29
  And then maybe like a
• 1:03:30
  seventy fifty or something.
• 1:03:31
  Yeah.
• 1:03:34
  A three minute rest.
• 1:03:38
  Fight gone bad style.
• 1:03:41
  Station two, three times for reps,
• 1:03:44
  one minute of wall balls,
• 1:03:47
  one minute of double
• 1:03:48
  dumbbell farmer lunges.
• 1:03:52
  I just wrote the elite version for now.
• 1:03:54
  One minute toes to bar,
• 1:03:56
  one minute box jump overs, step down,
• 1:03:59
  one minute calorie row, one minute rest.
• 1:04:05
  Three-minute rest, station three,
• 1:04:08
  thirty-nine to forty-five,
• 1:04:09
  thirty ground to overhead,
• 1:04:11
  twenty ground to overhead,
• 1:04:13
  ten ground to overhead.
• 1:04:15
  Max reps in remaining time.
• 1:04:18
  Barbells are already set.
• 1:04:20
  There's no changing of the weights.
• 1:04:23
  Nice.
• 1:04:25
  Three-minute rest, forty-eight to fifty,
• 1:04:28
  two-minute max distance sled pool.
• 1:04:30
  Five foot is a rep.
• 1:04:33
  Rest three minutes.
• 1:04:34
  Station five.
• 1:04:36
  Two-minute max distance sled push.
• 1:04:39
  The end.
• 1:04:41
  The sled pull was instead of
• 1:04:43
  the rope climbs.
• 1:04:43
  I didn't want to deal with that.
• 1:04:45
  And then just still testing
• 1:04:47
  some strength stuff.
• 1:04:57
  Yeah.
• 1:04:58
  Any way you emailed me that, Jamie?
• 1:05:00
  I'm trying right now.
• 1:05:01
  I'm typing.
• 1:05:01
  Hold on.
• 1:05:04
  So what we'll do is we had three entries,
• 1:05:05
  one from Craig, one from Kaylee,
• 1:05:08
  one from Pat.
• 1:05:10
  Um,
• 1:05:10
  I have all the entries in my pocket and
• 1:05:15
  I will draw a name.
• 1:05:17
  So I don't know if you can
• 1:05:19
  see all the paper there, other there and.
• 1:05:27
  Pat and Kaylee got two
• 1:05:28
  entries each because they
• 1:05:30
  actually had theirs in on time.
• 1:05:32
  Craig got his in this week.
• 1:05:33
  He gets one entry.
• 1:05:37
  So I'm drawing a name.
• 1:05:43
  And that name is Pat.
• 1:05:46
  So Pat Midgley,
• 1:05:47
  you win either a coffee cup
• 1:05:49
  or a water bottle from us
• 1:05:52
  in this beautiful yellow
• 1:05:56
  Clydesdale media etched water bottle.
• 1:06:00
  The coffee cup, same color, same etching,
• 1:06:02
  just smaller to drink your
• 1:06:04
  coffee and not over caffeinate.
• 1:06:06
  Okay, it's coming.
• 1:06:25
  I was really struggling with same thing.
• 1:06:26
  Like rope.
• 1:06:28
  Carolyn was an issue for me.
• 1:06:29
  Didn't want to bring out.
• 1:06:30
  I wanted like, I, like someone said,
• 1:06:34
  you need a max lift in here.
• 1:06:36
  And I feel like too many
• 1:06:37
  plates on the floor and all that was,
• 1:06:39
  I do have a lift, but you'll see.
• 1:06:41
  Um,
• 1:06:43
  There was a lot of things I like,
• 1:06:44
  and I don't love my, my workout.
• 1:06:46
  That's like station three.
• 1:06:47
  Um, cause it is like wall balls,
• 1:06:49
  like they already have.
• 1:06:50
  But I, I, again,
• 1:06:52
  I would have liked to tweak this all week,
• 1:06:54
  but I have been so stressed
• 1:06:56
  with the gym that what I wrote,
• 1:06:57
  what I wrote last week and
• 1:06:59
  I just didn't even tweak it.
• 1:07:00
  So, um,
• 1:07:07
  Jimmy, do you want me to read yours?
• 1:07:10
  Amrap, fifteen.
• 1:07:11
  Fifteen, twelve-calorie row.
• 1:07:13
  Ten, burpee over rower.
• 1:07:17
  At eighteen, Grace, cap five.
• 1:07:20
  Isabel, cap five.
• 1:07:24
  At thirty, ten rounds for time.
• 1:07:27
  Fifteen, wall ball.
• 1:07:28
  Ten, chest-to-bar pull-ups.
• 1:07:31
  uh a thirty foot handstand
• 1:07:34
  walk or bear crawl and cap
• 1:07:37
  of twenty four and then at
• 1:07:40
  fifty seven max overhead
• 1:07:42
  squats in three minutes I
• 1:07:45
  like it nice so what's interesting is um
• 1:07:56
  Jamie and Carolyn did reps
• 1:07:59
  rounds for time.
• 1:08:01
  Um, I did every second counts.
• 1:08:03
  Every one of mine was a
• 1:08:04
  timed one that you finish
• 1:08:06
  each piece in each station
• 1:08:09
  and you add the four times
• 1:08:10
  together and come up with an overall.
• 1:08:15
  So I thought about that and
• 1:08:16
  that was a big thing.
• 1:08:17
  And I, and I'm trying to like, in my mind,
• 1:08:20
  think how park station one would.
• 1:08:26
  net like how you could earn
• 1:08:29
  like point like time off or
• 1:08:32
  time added to your to your
• 1:08:33
  total time because that's
• 1:08:34
  what I was thinking wasn't
• 1:08:35
  every second counts like
• 1:08:35
  you add in your finish
• 1:08:36
  times and what happens if
• 1:08:38
  you get capped on like on
• 1:08:39
  yours what happens that's
• 1:08:40
  that's what that's what I
• 1:08:41
  thought about too it would
• 1:08:43
  be capped plus it does become really hard
• 1:08:49
  Like people want to know
• 1:08:50
  their score right away.
• 1:08:51
  Right.
• 1:08:52
  So like to me,
• 1:08:52
  like I feel like an AMRAP or some sort of,
• 1:08:55
  yeah,
• 1:08:56
  like for reps is just easier unless
• 1:08:58
  it's one workout entirely for time.
• 1:09:01
  Right.
• 1:09:02
  I think I was pretty lenient
• 1:09:03
  on my time caps, but yeah.
• 1:09:09
  I like the concept of every
• 1:09:10
  second counts I mean that
• 1:09:12
  means something in the
• 1:09:12
  crossfit world um it it was
• 1:09:15
  the two thousand eight
• 1:09:16
  games or two yeah two
• 1:09:18
  thousand eight and um and
• 1:09:21
  so I think it's nostalgic
• 1:09:23
  and that's why I went with
• 1:09:24
  it yeah I mean this concept
• 1:09:31
  is not that far out there
• 1:09:33
  the two thousand eight
• 1:09:33
  crossfit games were this
• 1:09:36
  Do these three workouts.
• 1:09:40
  This is your time.
• 1:09:42
  You're talking about elite
• 1:09:43
  athletes versus like this
• 1:09:44
  would be a mass in the
• 1:09:46
  fitness level would range
• 1:09:49
  even more than the games.
• 1:09:51
  Yeah, that's it.
• 1:09:52
  That's the only thing.
• 1:09:53
  That's what made it hard for
• 1:09:54
  this one because it was like,
• 1:09:56
  what movements can...
• 1:09:59
  still challenge some of the
• 1:10:00
  top ones in the sports
• 1:10:01
  where they want to sign up for it,
• 1:10:03
  but not also defeat
• 1:10:05
  everyone else from going.
• 1:10:08
  So let's say you have a
• 1:10:09
  station where there's, you know,
• 1:10:12
  a higher rep or higher skill movement.
• 1:10:16
  Maybe you just take no reps on that one,
• 1:10:18
  but you can still continue
• 1:10:19
  and do the elite version
• 1:10:20
  for the whole thing.
• 1:10:22
  But yeah, I just want to
• 1:10:25
  Movements that are easy to
• 1:10:26
  judge and not so far out
• 1:10:28
  there where no one wants to sign up to,
• 1:10:31
  but not so basic that you
• 1:10:34
  don't get the top people trying.
• 1:10:36
  I've told you, this is,
• 1:10:38
  this is my plan for like,
• 1:10:40
  I've been writing it out
• 1:10:42
  and working on it for well
• 1:10:43
  over a year for, to host a comp.
• 1:10:46
  And this is why I like keep
• 1:10:47
  going back on points, times,
• 1:10:50
  like how you do things.
• 1:10:50
  But my concept is like these
• 1:10:53
  one hour gauntlets and you
• 1:10:55
  get those people out of the
• 1:10:55
  gym and a new heat comes in
• 1:10:56
  so that you can run different.
• 1:10:58
  You can get more people
• 1:10:59
  signed up and you're not
• 1:10:59
  just there all day with the
• 1:11:00
  same thirty athletes or
• 1:11:01
  however many lanes you have.
• 1:11:04
  But one of my things that I
• 1:11:05
  want to do kind of the way
• 1:11:06
  like I wanted to see the
• 1:11:08
  Masters competition run is
• 1:11:09
  like say my workout is the
• 1:11:11
  ten round for time of the
• 1:11:12
  fifteen wall balls.
• 1:11:14
  ten chest-to-bar and
• 1:11:16
  whatever handstand workout
• 1:11:17
  I've been there well maybe
• 1:11:18
  that workout is like a
• 1:11:20
  similar type workout but
• 1:11:21
  like it's like it's like
• 1:11:23
  you gotta figure out what
• 1:11:25
  uh like a bar muscle-up
• 1:11:27
  versus a chest-to-bar like
• 1:11:28
  what like I would need
• 1:11:29
  Carolyn to test it and
• 1:11:30
  somebody else test it and
• 1:11:31
  like a bar muscle-up would
• 1:11:33
  be ten reps uh a
• 1:11:35
  chest-to-bar would be six
• 1:11:37
  reps a pull-up would be
• 1:11:38
  three reps and a ring row
• 1:11:39
  would be one rep so like
• 1:11:41
  And it's a lot of math and I get it,
• 1:11:42
  but like that way,
• 1:11:44
  the people who have the
• 1:11:45
  skill go do it and they,
• 1:11:47
  they're clearly going to
• 1:11:48
  win the workout because
• 1:11:49
  they did the high skill movement.
• 1:11:50
  It's like,
• 1:11:51
  it's the same way I want to see.
• 1:11:52
  I know what you're talking
• 1:11:53
  about for those movements.
• 1:11:54
  You just get more points for
• 1:11:56
  the higher skill versus if
• 1:11:57
  you still want to do the,
• 1:11:58
  like say the ten,
• 1:11:59
  you're just not building up as much.
• 1:12:01
  Right.
• 1:12:01
  Right.
• 1:12:03
  but they can still continue the race.
• 1:12:05
  So back when, when I first,
• 1:12:06
  when I was competing in CrossFit locally,
• 1:12:09
  we had a couple of comps that did that.
• 1:12:11
  Like you, you choose your own adventure.
• 1:12:13
  Yeah.
• 1:12:14
  But you get,
• 1:12:16
  it was basically reduced reps.
• 1:12:19
  You know, if you're doing bar muscle ups,
• 1:12:21
  it's five.
• 1:12:21
  If you're doing pull-ups, it's ten.
• 1:12:23
  If you're doing, right.
• 1:12:25
  Yeah.
• 1:12:26
  But you have to figure out
• 1:12:27
  what the correct conversion is.
• 1:12:30
  Yep.
• 1:12:30
  Yep.
• 1:12:32
  And I'm not sure everybody
• 1:12:33
  did that back then.
• 1:12:34
  They just threw something
• 1:12:36
  together so everybody could play.
• 1:12:38
  But I like this idea of a
• 1:12:40
  traveling gauntlet.
• 1:12:41
  Like the gauntlet is so
• 1:12:42
  popular at Waterpalooza.
• 1:12:44
  Every year, you know,
• 1:12:45
  they do a great job with it.
• 1:12:47
  And just to have it travel
• 1:12:48
  in different cities would be nice because,
• 1:12:50
  like,
• 1:12:51
  not everyone can get to Waterpalooza.
• 1:12:52
  So it's just like that
• 1:12:54
  yearly CrossFit travel that just –
• 1:12:58
  you know, can hit different, um,
• 1:13:01
  different movements.
• 1:13:02
  And I think you come
• 1:13:03
  together with the community
• 1:13:05
  and it's a celebration for
• 1:13:06
  an hour and you get to
• 1:13:07
  cheer different people and
• 1:13:08
  you have different stations,
• 1:13:09
  but it's just, it's our,
• 1:13:10
  it's our community.
• 1:13:11
  It's CrossFit.
• 1:13:12
  Like, I think it could work, um,
• 1:13:14
  in terms of something.
• 1:13:17
  You know, that would be cool in our space.
• 1:13:19
  And it's not really like a competing with,
• 1:13:22
  you know,
• 1:13:23
  these leagues or the CrossFit Games.
• 1:13:24
  It's completely different.
• 1:13:25
  It's just a community get-together,
• 1:13:28
  a challenge that goes from city to city.
• 1:13:30
  And there can be an ultimate
• 1:13:32
  champion at the end,
• 1:13:32
  whoever has the most reps.
• 1:13:35
  And it's comparable.
• 1:13:36
  Like, you can do it anywhere.
• 1:13:38
  And not to get too, like, I don't know.
• 1:13:44
  the community needs something right now.
• 1:13:46
  We need something that pulls
• 1:13:48
  it together where we all
• 1:13:50
  come together and hang out
• 1:13:51
  in the same place for a day.
• 1:13:53
  And we travel around the
• 1:13:54
  country and every region gets to,
• 1:13:59
  you have that regional feel like, again,
• 1:14:01
  where everybody kind of
• 1:14:02
  comes and maybe a Carolyn
• 1:14:05
  Prevo shows up to a couple
• 1:14:06
  around her area.
• 1:14:08
  And, you know,
• 1:14:09
  Christy Aramo shows up to a
• 1:14:10
  couple around her area.
• 1:14:12
  And,
• 1:14:12
  and then you get to hang out with
• 1:14:15
  athletes you've watched
• 1:14:16
  over the years and,
• 1:14:18
  and just make it a fun
• 1:14:21
  experience where we do show
• 1:14:23
  that we are a lot alike and
• 1:14:25
  not different.
• 1:14:26
  Yeah.
• 1:14:32
  I just,
• 1:14:33
  I'm frustrated with the separation
• 1:14:37
  that we have going on right now.
• 1:14:39
  And I'd really like
• 1:14:40
  something that kind of
• 1:14:40
  draws it back into a global
• 1:14:45
  community again.
• 1:14:50
  I agree.
• 1:14:50
  I mean, people always say, like,
• 1:14:51
  nobody cares about the teams,
• 1:14:52
  but I truly feel like teams, partly teams,
• 1:14:56
  partly regionals that were
• 1:14:57
  close is what grew the
• 1:14:58
  sport to what it is.
• 1:15:00
  Like, it's a little more accessible.
• 1:15:02
  You get multiple people from
• 1:15:03
  your gym going,
• 1:15:04
  and that's why droves of
• 1:15:05
  people would drive to the
• 1:15:06
  regional to go cheer on their box.
• 1:15:09
  Like,
• 1:15:10
  I feel like that's what grew.
• 1:15:11
  I think, I think you just gave me an idea.
• 1:15:12
  Like instead of going to
• 1:15:13
  like a convention center,
• 1:15:15
  it's a local affiliate that
• 1:15:16
  hosts for the region, this, you know,
• 1:15:19
  this thing.
• 1:15:19
  And then you have all the
• 1:15:20
  affiliates that sign up
• 1:15:21
  that are close by or that
• 1:15:22
  you want to travel close by too.
• 1:15:24
  And you know, you're saving money.
• 1:15:26
  It's all things that people
• 1:15:27
  would have access in their box.
• 1:15:28
  And then they're running through heats,
• 1:15:30
  maybe, you know,
• 1:15:30
  for a few hours and it's a
• 1:15:32
  big community event.
• 1:15:34
  And then there's another affiliate,
• 1:15:36
  maybe two or three hours
• 1:15:37
  away that they hosted a
• 1:15:38
  different weekend and
• 1:15:40
  You know,
• 1:15:40
  you get a bunch of people coming
• 1:15:42
  together.
• 1:15:42
  It's one day of the affiliate to host.
• 1:15:45
  And I think that would be cool.
• 1:15:48
  That would be awesome.
• 1:15:49
  Versus renting a big
• 1:15:51
  convention center and doing
• 1:15:52
  like thousands and
• 1:15:53
  thousands where all of a
• 1:15:54
  sudden might not be as good.
• 1:15:56
  Just locally, kind of like a regional,
• 1:15:59
  but maybe more of them.
• 1:16:00
  And it's affiliate based
• 1:16:03
  with some volunteers in
• 1:16:05
  terms of judging and all that.
• 1:16:09
  I think that would be cool.
• 1:16:10
  When I run my gauntlet,
• 1:16:10
  I'll let you know how it goes.
• 1:16:11
  Yeah, let me know.
• 1:16:14
  And if you do do this,
• 1:16:16
  like in the affiliates,
• 1:16:18
  you can have the two person
• 1:16:19
  teams or whatever.
• 1:16:21
  So, hey, bring a friend.
• 1:16:22
  You and I are going to do this.
• 1:16:24
  This is what we have to know
• 1:16:26
  before we even get there.
• 1:16:28
  And then we're going to run through this.
• 1:16:29
  And it's a way to bring
• 1:16:31
  people into the affiliates
• 1:16:32
  and get them to experience
• 1:16:33
  what that is like as well.
• 1:16:35
  Mm hmm.
• 1:16:39
  I love it.
• 1:16:42
  So the pack said,
• 1:16:43
  I just explained that in
• 1:16:45
  affiliate semifinals,
• 1:16:46
  but I think this would be
• 1:16:47
  different because this is one,
• 1:16:48
  this is a traveling one that could.
• 1:16:52
  Yeah.
• 1:16:52
  If it continued on and was the same.
• 1:16:53
  Yeah.
• 1:16:55
  Pack is right.
• 1:16:56
  Like that's kind of what an
• 1:16:58
  affiliate semifinals is
• 1:16:59
  going to end up doing.
• 1:17:00
  I, I believe.
• 1:17:01
  But in affiliate semifinals
• 1:17:03
  are already in the
• 1:17:04
  community that people are there.
• 1:17:07
  This is a way to bring new
• 1:17:08
  people into the forum.
• 1:17:09
  Exactly.
• 1:17:10
  That's where I was going at
• 1:17:11
  was I would be doing my
• 1:17:12
  semifinal by myself at my gym.
• 1:17:14
  It's not like a community
• 1:17:16
  where people from all
• 1:17:17
  different regions are
• 1:17:18
  coming to do the semifinal.
• 1:17:20
  This would be the same idea,
• 1:17:21
  but you get the whole
• 1:17:24
  region actually coming to show up.
• 1:17:26
  I think people will group together.
• 1:17:29
  For the semifinals?
• 1:17:30
  Yeah, a hundred percent.
• 1:17:31
  Some people.
• 1:17:32
  I think people.
• 1:17:33
  That have access to it.
• 1:17:34
  It's top one percent, though.
• 1:17:35
  Like,
• 1:17:36
  I know that people around you think I
• 1:17:38
  agree.
• 1:17:40
  Yeah.
• 1:17:40
  And yeah,
• 1:17:40
  it might only be like three and
• 1:17:42
  you might be traveling an hour.
• 1:17:43
  But I would think I would
• 1:17:45
  think some some most people
• 1:17:47
  would try to find.
• 1:17:49
  A gym to go to.
• 1:17:51
  And within bring in two or
• 1:17:52
  three athletes so they can
• 1:17:53
  compete together with someone else.
• 1:17:55
  I don't want to do it alone.
• 1:17:57
  Yeah.
• 1:17:57
  Yeah.
• 1:17:57
  But, but I think this is,
• 1:17:59
  I think what we're talking
• 1:17:59
  about is different because
• 1:18:01
  like the sign files is very, very elite.
• 1:18:03
  And then the community cup,
• 1:18:04
  it would be closer to the community cup.
• 1:18:06
  Yes.
• 1:18:07
  But even then you're just doing it.
• 1:18:09
  Maybe a few teams at your
• 1:18:10
  gym versus hundreds of teams.
• 1:18:14
  Our idea is definitely different.
• 1:18:19
  Yeah,
• 1:18:19
  it's more about bringing other people.
• 1:18:23
  Like people are dabbling in high rocks.
• 1:18:26
  Hey, let me see what this thing is like.
• 1:18:28
  It's a way to reach out and
• 1:18:29
  bring people into CrossFit
• 1:18:31
  who have no idea what it is.
• 1:18:41
  I don't know.
• 1:18:43
  That is a good question.
• 1:18:44
  Is CrossFit going to force
• 1:18:45
  it to be done in the
• 1:18:46
  affiliate you sign up under?
• 1:18:47
  No, I doubt it.
• 1:18:48
  Cause I don't,
• 1:18:49
  you don't need to sign up
• 1:18:50
  under an affiliate.
• 1:18:52
  So you would just need to go
• 1:18:53
  to an affiliate to do the
• 1:18:55
  semifinals if you qualify.
• 1:18:58
  Have you signed up for the open?
• 1:19:00
  No.
• 1:19:01
  I mean,
• 1:19:04
  every year I've signed up before I
• 1:19:05
  haven't,
• 1:19:05
  I've been able to put on affiliated.
• 1:19:09
  But everything this year is
• 1:19:11
  pointing to an association
• 1:19:13
  with an affiliate.
• 1:19:16
  I don't think so.
• 1:19:17
  I don't think it has to be.
• 1:19:18
  But I don't think you have to go.
• 1:19:20
  I don't.
• 1:19:21
  I just think you need to go
• 1:19:22
  to an affiliate.
• 1:19:22
  You don't have a rule book,
• 1:19:23
  so who the hell knows?
• 1:19:24
  Who knows?
• 1:19:25
  That's a good question.
• 1:19:26
  We would just be speculating.
• 1:19:28
  Yep.
• 1:19:29
  And creating rumors that aren't true.
• 1:19:34
  Like mayhem is only allowing
• 1:19:36
  mayhem athletes.
• 1:19:40
  would be irresponsible of us
• 1:19:41
  to say things like that all
• 1:19:46
  right couple last pieces of
• 1:19:48
  news and then I gotta get
• 1:19:49
  to bed yeah you do um so
• 1:19:53
  emma carey retired yep uh
• 1:19:56
  one of the bright young
• 1:19:57
  stars of the sport um I
• 1:19:59
  said this the day after she
• 1:20:00
  retired you know we we did
• 1:20:03
  her first ever podcast
• 1:20:05
  Um,
• 1:20:06
  thanks to Kat and reaching out to her
• 1:20:08
  mom and getting to know her.
• 1:20:10
  And then I became really
• 1:20:11
  good friends with Emma, uh,
• 1:20:13
  over the years.
• 1:20:14
  And it,
• 1:20:16
  it saddens me that I am not going
• 1:20:17
  to get to cover her
• 1:20:18
  CrossFit games career
• 1:20:20
  because she was something special.
• 1:20:23
  And, but I'm happy that she has found, uh,
• 1:20:28
  happiness and joy and
• 1:20:29
  contentment in life and
• 1:20:32
  that is more important than
• 1:20:33
  any kind of sport and I'm
• 1:20:35
  so happy for her yeah
• 1:20:40
  anything from you guys no I
• 1:20:41
  agree she should do what
• 1:20:43
  makes her happy and she
• 1:20:44
  went out on top she won
• 1:20:46
  wadapalooza called it a
• 1:20:48
  career it's not but it's
• 1:20:51
  not the worst way to go out
• 1:20:55
  And another person I did his
• 1:20:56
  first ever podcast was Colton Mertens.
• 1:21:01
  And we actually had him and
• 1:21:03
  Allie on together a couple
• 1:21:05
  of times and officially
• 1:21:07
  they are now engaged.
• 1:21:10
  And so, so excited for them.
• 1:21:12
  Allie is one of the nicest
• 1:21:13
  people in the world.
• 1:21:15
  Every event she is always, you know,
• 1:21:18
  cause Colton is a little shy.
• 1:21:21
  He's coming out of that shell quite a bit.
• 1:21:23
  I don't know if he's shy anymore.
• 1:21:27
  But Allie was always the
• 1:21:29
  voice of the couple early on.
• 1:21:32
  And now, like Colton just says,
• 1:21:33
  whatever's on his mind.
• 1:21:36
  But I'm happy for both of them.
• 1:21:40
  Super stoked for them.
• 1:21:41
  Yeah, it's awesome.
• 1:21:45
  Congrats.
• 1:21:45
  And I think that's about it
• 1:21:47
  for the week of news.
• 1:21:51
  next week we'll dive more
• 1:21:52
  into the WFP and hopefully
• 1:21:55
  we'll have more details
• 1:21:56
  about the CrossFit game
• 1:21:57
  season and how they will merge, combine,
• 1:22:02
  um, whatever.
• 1:22:05
  Maybe some water Palooza
• 1:22:07
  predictions as well.
• 1:22:10
  You know,
• 1:22:10
  John and John Young and I have a
• 1:22:11
  love hate relationship.
• 1:22:14
  Um,
• 1:22:16
  The spin really got me last
• 1:22:17
  week when he was saying
• 1:22:18
  that maybe the WFP becomes
• 1:22:24
  so big that it will then
• 1:22:28
  partner with CrossFit Games
• 1:22:31
  and the games will be its finals.
• 1:22:34
  Well, if you think about it,
• 1:22:36
  if the WFP gets that big,
• 1:22:38
  do they need the CrossFit
• 1:22:40
  Games at that point?
• 1:22:41
  No.
• 1:22:41
  No.
• 1:22:46
  If that merger would ever happen,
• 1:22:47
  it would have to happen way
• 1:22:48
  before the WFP got that big.
• 1:22:53
  It would have to be rising,
• 1:22:55
  and then they decide to
• 1:22:56
  come together and work
• 1:22:57
  together to create one season.
• 1:22:59
  I think CrossFit would just
• 1:23:01
  sell the sports side of it
• 1:23:03
  and then allow them to use
• 1:23:04
  the name CrossFit if they wanted to.
• 1:23:09
  They're doing their world fitness project.
• 1:23:15
  did you see the prediction
• 1:23:16
  show that this was part of
• 1:23:17
  the prediction show?
• 1:23:18
  Did you see that Tyler
• 1:23:20
  picked that the CrossFit
• 1:23:22
  would be sold prior to the
• 1:23:25
  CrossFit games?
• 1:23:25
  I mean,
• 1:23:28
  and spin predicted it would be sold
• 1:23:30
  right after the twenty twenty five games.
• 1:23:33
  I think it's going to be around there.
• 1:23:34
  Hmm.
• 1:23:41
  Yeah.
• 1:23:44
  So, uh,
• 1:23:46
  it's been no stuff behind the
• 1:23:47
  scenes that it's true.
• 1:23:51
  And so that one caught my eye.
• 1:23:53
  I will just say that, that got,
• 1:23:55
  that got my wheels turning
• 1:23:56
  and wants me and I want to
• 1:23:58
  dig in more now.
• 1:24:01
  So maybe in the waiting room tomorrow,
• 1:24:03
  I'll, I'll start doing some research.
• 1:24:06
  Yeah.
• 1:24:07
  You'll have some time on your hands.
• 1:24:10
  thank you everybody for
• 1:24:11
