Transcript
- 0:02Happy Father's Day, everybody.
- 0:04We have a new theme song.
- 0:06Here we go.
- 0:10Yeah.
- 0:13Welcome to the show.
- 0:15It's time to ignite.
- 0:17Scott's silky smooth voice keeps the vibes
- 0:19just right.
- 0:20Caroline on the mic wants a star on
- 0:22the ice.
- 0:23Game's athlete so strong,
- 0:25keeps the balance precise.
- 0:27And Jamie's in the house.
- 0:29The engine full of grip.
- 0:30Never backing down.
- 0:31Down doesn't know.
- 1:00What is going on, everybody?
- 1:02Welcome to Sunday Night CrossFit Talk,
- 1:04or as how we like to say it,
- 1:06Sunday, Sunday, Sunday night,
- 1:09CrossFit talk.
- 1:12Yeah.
- 1:13Worked on that for a long time.
- 1:15I like it.
- 1:16It's catchy.
- 1:16It's good.
- 1:18Yeah.
- 1:18I I'll get down to it.
- 1:19Your time on the ice.
- 1:21Yeah.
- 1:22I was able to grab that picture and
- 1:24get that in there and Jamie never backing
- 1:26down with that death stare of hers.
- 1:29Yeah.
- 1:30I thought that came out well.
- 1:32Yeah, that's awesome.
- 1:35Now people need to be here like on
- 1:37time exactly so they can hear it.
- 1:39Yeah.
- 1:40Or if you listen to it on rewatch,
- 1:44you can do that.
- 1:44It's a brand new show.
- 1:47Now I got to work on the outro.
- 1:50So that song is actually longer.
- 1:53When you watch a show,
- 1:54let's say a show is live.
- 1:56Do you go directly to where it's at
- 1:59and then watch the beginning later?
- 2:02Or are you a person that has to
- 2:04go watch the beginning and then we'll like
- 2:07put it at one point five or two
- 2:08to try to catch up with the live?
- 2:10Because me and Lex are two different
- 2:11people on this.
- 2:13So honestly,
- 2:13it depends on the subject matter.
- 2:15Yeah.
- 2:15Yeah.
- 2:16If it's something I think I need all
- 2:18the context,
- 2:19I go back to the beginning and I'll
- 2:20watch on like one, two, five or one,
- 2:23five to catch up to live.
- 2:26If it's something that I don't really care
- 2:28about the context or whatever,
- 2:30I'll watch it from there and then go
- 2:32back and catch the beginning.
- 2:35See,
- 2:35like I just go right to the live
- 2:37so I can like be reading in the
- 2:38comments of like what's going on and then
- 2:40I'll come back.
- 2:41And Lex is the opposite.
- 2:42She hates when I do that and like
- 2:45forces me to go all the way to
- 2:46the beginning and like fast,
- 2:47not fast forward,
- 2:48but like a fast pace of it.
- 2:50Yeah.
- 2:51I am with Judy here.
- 2:52Depends on how far along the show is.
- 2:54Like, if it's, like, twenty,
- 2:56maybe up to thirty,
- 2:57I'll try to catch up.
- 2:58Otherwise, I'm going in.
- 2:59And, like, usually it'd be, like,
- 3:01Sevan that I come in late.
- 3:02And he'd, like, Scott was saying,
- 3:03it depends on, like, if I need context.
- 3:05He usually is, like, you know,
- 3:06subject to subject.
- 3:07So I don't feel like I lost some,
- 3:10like, thirty minutes of context.
- 3:13Usually we're on to a new subject.
- 3:14So I feel like I can just jump
- 3:15in.
- 3:17Yeah.
- 3:17Yeah, I didn't.
- 3:21That's a great question though.
- 3:22Cause I'm sure it is everybody.
- 3:23And it's very dependent on the person,
- 3:26but like Carolyn,
- 3:27you're more so active in the chat, right?
- 3:29If you are not live, correct.
- 3:32Right.
- 3:32You can't chat like you like to do.
- 3:34Yeah.
- 3:35I mean,
- 3:35I saw you in the chat so much
- 3:37this week of all these different shows.
- 3:40Was I, was I active?
- 3:43Which one?
- 3:44Yes.
- 3:46Probably more this week than you've been
- 3:47for a while.
- 3:49Really?
- 3:51I go through phases.
- 3:58Am I, I am there from the,
- 4:00for the beginning, from the beginning.
- 4:01She's everywhere.
- 4:02She's everywhere.
- 4:03She's like Visa everywhere you want to be.
- 4:09So church brings up the world cup.
- 4:12I didn't mean to dive into this so
- 4:13quickly.
- 4:14I am not a soccer fan.
- 4:16Everything I know about soccer.
- 4:17I learned from welcome to Rexham.
- 4:19Yep.
- 4:20And my daughter's U-Nine team.
- 4:24That's about it.
- 4:24Yep.
- 4:26So other than that, though,
- 4:28my favorite football player in the world,
- 4:31American football,
- 4:33other than Chicago Bears,
- 4:35is Jameis Winston.
- 4:37Jameis Winston is the man who came to
- 4:39the mic and said, Dear Lord,
- 4:42please deliver me from pick sixes.
- 4:46because he would throw so many
- 4:48interceptions.
- 4:49He got hired by Fox to go out
- 4:52and be with the crowds and be a
- 4:55correspondent.
- 4:56When he retires from football,
- 4:59they need to give him a mic and
- 5:01let him go do whatever he wants.
- 5:03I will watch.
- 5:05And I have a couple little samples from
- 5:08covering the World Cup that he has on
- 5:11Instagram.
- 5:13So first is,
- 5:14this is him hanging out with the Dutch
- 5:16fans.
- 5:38Pause real quick.
- 5:39Did he say do the cupid shuffle?
- 5:42He said do the cupid shuffle.
- 5:51So that's that one.
- 5:52And then this is another taste.
- 5:54Yo,
- 5:54we saying the World Cup in four different
- 5:56languages.
- 5:57Let me start off with simplicity.
- 5:59World Cup.
- 6:00Copa Mundial.
- 6:02Weltmeisterschaft.
- 6:04That's German.
- 6:05I might be German.
- 6:06Coupe du Monde is my favorite.
- 6:09Copa do Mundo.
- 6:11Yeah,
- 6:11y'all didn't know that I had that type
- 6:13of etiquette.
- 6:14Check me out.
- 6:15Here we go.
- 6:18And then this is,
- 6:19this will be the last one.
- 6:20I have more saved,
- 6:21but you got to see the powdered wig
- 6:24at some point in this video.
- 6:39USA!
- 6:39USA!
- 6:39USA!
- 6:39USA!
- 6:39USA!
- 6:39USA!
- 6:40USA!
- 6:43Anyway, I had to, uh,
- 6:48it keeps playing it right here.
- 6:51Those are great.
- 6:55The fans are crazy for soccer.
- 6:57It's nuts.
- 6:58They are.
- 6:59That seems to be the main reason to
- 7:02go is just the hype going on at
- 7:04these events.
- 7:05The country pride for every country
- 7:08playing.
- 7:09They have games in Toronto here and the
- 7:11streets are nuts.
- 7:13I do not go downtown at all.
- 7:15And I certainly won't.
- 7:17Really, until I go watch a sporting event,
- 7:20I try to avoid the downtown.
- 7:21But I'm seeing the streets right now.
- 7:23It's just crazy when it's game day.
- 7:26Completely packed.
- 7:29Pazla Craig says,
- 7:30the Scottish fans drank all the beer in
- 7:32Boston.
- 7:33That was a cool story.
- 7:35They drank it all but the Bud Light
- 7:37and left that for the next fans to
- 7:39come in.
- 7:44i you're i'm having a hard time hearing
- 7:50you jay i said what does that say
- 7:51about bud light who knows i just don't
- 7:56like it's too watered down for me and
- 7:58i haven't even drank in two and a
- 7:59half years like i care but um but
- 8:03i like a i like a hearty beer
- 8:06that is not one of those
- 8:10And I'm sure the fans from Europe are
- 8:11drinking more hearty beers than light
- 8:15beers.
- 8:16That is not what they're used to.
- 8:19So anything else?
- 8:21So we have the new theme song.
- 8:22We have the Jameis Winston is the greatest
- 8:25hire in sports.
- 8:28And I watched some Grid yesterday.
- 8:30Oh, yeah?
- 8:34You know,
- 8:35I'm actually kind of starting to really
- 8:36enjoy it.
- 8:37Just because it's a quick hitter.
- 8:39You can get into it,
- 8:41get some entertainment.
- 8:42And you know people on different teams,
- 8:43too, now that you can kind of follow.
- 8:46All those people I talked to that were
- 8:47semifinalists are stars in the grid
- 8:50league.
- 8:51Yeah.
- 8:53And the announcers are really,
- 8:55really good.
- 8:58what makes them good i i think they're
- 9:00just super knowledgeable and they they
- 9:03talk not only about what's on the grid
- 9:06but the personalities of the athletes um
- 9:10the coaches the strategies i just think
- 9:14they're really good at what they do and
- 9:20um it's two women uh the one woman
- 9:24i i don't know her the other is
- 9:28She was a CrossFitter.
- 9:29She actually got banned for Taylor.
- 9:34Taylor, no.
- 9:37Someone in the channel.
- 9:38I remember.
- 9:38Yeah,
- 9:39I feel like we talked about this last
- 9:40year.
- 9:40I remember.
- 9:41But she's great.
- 9:42She like knows all the intricacies of the
- 9:44sport.
- 9:46She talks about the detail.
- 9:48I think it's truly like color
- 9:51commentating.
- 9:54Not what would I do,
- 9:57but what is the strategy in this moment
- 9:59for that athlete and their strengths and
- 10:02abilities?
- 10:04Does that make sense?
- 10:05Yeah.
- 10:07And I think that's what like Carolyn's
- 10:09really good at.
- 10:10When she talks about an athlete,
- 10:12she doesn't say this is how I would
- 10:13have done it.
- 10:15She says by what their strengths and
- 10:17weaknesses are,
- 10:18that's what they're going to be good at
- 10:22or how they should attack it.
- 10:27Yeah,
- 10:27it helps when you know the athletes or
- 10:28know their strengths and weaknesses to
- 10:31kind of predict some of the outcome.
- 10:32Yeah.
- 10:33But it's not about you.
- 10:36And people don't want to hear what you
- 10:38would do or how you would have done
- 10:39at that event.
- 10:40Like, yeah,
- 10:41just give us some context to the workout.
- 10:45Not in regards to yourself.
- 10:48Commentary addresses professionally, too.
- 10:50Don't see that much anymore.
- 10:51Not that it matters.
- 10:56I think that's it.
- 10:58They're so invested in this grid league,
- 11:01and it's this small niche community,
- 11:04and they know everybody because they're
- 11:06that invested.
- 11:08That's their job.
- 11:10Do I think it's taking over the world?
- 11:12No, but it was a fun watch.
- 11:15How many matches yesterday?
- 11:17Or how many different teams?
- 11:18Four matches for eight teams.
- 11:22taylor stallings and cassie martinez um
- 11:28and then their sideline reporter is a male
- 11:31and he's probably the weakest of the bunch
- 11:36i think like they have a hard time
- 11:39just like when some of these smaller
- 11:41entities try to cover their the
- 11:44communication between the booth and the
- 11:46person on the field seems to be lacking
- 11:50So here's a question.
- 11:51I didn't watch this weekend,
- 11:51but it's a new season that's starting this
- 11:53year.
- 11:55Are they the same workouts as the prior
- 11:58year?
- 11:58Do they change every time,
- 12:01like every event that they do or every
- 12:04weekend tournament?
- 12:06They're different workouts.
- 12:08It changed throughout the day yesterday.
- 12:11So I don't know how it's determined,
- 12:14but I think there is like a template
- 12:16that event one has to be this style.
- 12:20Event two has to be that style.
- 12:22And then they have one that's voted on
- 12:24by the fans every match.
- 12:25Nice.
- 12:28And the fans get to vote on what
- 12:29that match is going to be.
- 12:32I saw that they introduced a new movement
- 12:35this year, the drop kit, basically.
- 12:39I did see that on Instagram.
- 12:40So they must change the... I mean,
- 12:42it can't be the same year to year.
- 12:43Like,
- 12:43they're adding new things and they're
- 12:44changing workouts, I would say.
- 12:46Yeah.
- 12:48Yeah.
- 12:50And again, everything is so fast.
- 12:52Like,
- 12:53each event is done five minutes tops.
- 12:59And I'll say this, like...
- 13:03for standards their squat depth is great
- 13:06and that people are getting no rep left
- 13:08and right now lockout position maybe not
- 13:12so much but ass was to grass on
- 13:17a lot of those matches I watched when
- 13:22a team gets way ahead what's the incentive
- 13:25of the other team to continue going I
- 13:27guess
- 13:28So if the other team finishes within
- 13:30twenty percent of the other team,
- 13:33they get a point.
- 13:35OK.
- 13:36So then they don't just give up and
- 13:37wait for the next match.
- 13:39Right.
- 13:39So the winner gets two points.
- 13:42If you finish within twenty percent of the
- 13:45time,
- 13:46then you get you get a point to
- 13:49keep it close.
- 13:56So anyway, I enjoyed it.
- 13:59Again,
- 14:00I don't think it's taken over the world.
- 14:01The views on it were not like super
- 14:04high.
- 14:05A couple hundred for the matches I was
- 14:08watching live.
- 14:10I don't know what like going back and
- 14:12watching it's going to look like.
- 14:13But again,
- 14:15I enjoyed it on a Saturday afternoon where
- 14:17I was here by myself doing housework.
- 14:20It was a nice break in the day.
- 14:23there's nothing else going on because
- 14:26online semi-finals you can't see and the
- 14:29review you can't see and we're sitting
- 14:30through that which we'll talk about in a
- 14:32little bit so a lot of people were
- 14:35talking about this and we actually talked
- 14:38about it right before we went on the
- 14:39air so i guess now is as good
- 14:42as time as any i didn't watch any
- 14:45of the actual matches i just tried to
- 14:47follow the drama all over instagram same
- 14:50um which was just like
- 14:53Some of it was like,
- 14:54it's just very picky, right?
- 14:55Like that, like Cole, who's Canadian,
- 14:59like one meter basically.
- 15:00And he stepped off.
- 15:02Someone else was doing wall balls and they
- 15:04were at ninety nine and three people told
- 15:06him to go.
- 15:08And apparently he was one short.
- 15:11And then Hunter's burpees.
- 15:14When you slow it down,
- 15:15where he lands and where he puts his
- 15:17hands, they are a little bit in front.
- 15:19I think it's like thirty centimeters or
- 15:22something that you're supposed to...
- 15:24He is one that rides the line a
- 15:26little bit,
- 15:26but I just feel like they're very picky
- 15:29with Hunter all the time.
- 15:33I'm a Hunter fan.
- 15:35I am too.
- 15:37I wish that he wasn't getting penalized
- 15:39there,
- 15:39but I guess I don't know enough about
- 15:43the rules there,
- 15:44but I just find there's just some,
- 15:45some inconsistencies in there.
- 15:47Like the penalties, I guess,
- 15:50because like the machine to get DQ'd over
- 15:52a one meter stepping off the platform
- 15:55early,
- 15:56and then someone not doing a final wall
- 15:58ball and getting like, let's say,
- 15:59let's say, let's say, let's say,
- 16:00let's say, let's say,
- 16:03doesn't seem to be very fair um it's
- 16:07crazy but like high rocks responded
- 16:10responded i think in a post that said
- 16:13like because these are like the the elite
- 16:16fifteens like they're held to the to the
- 16:17most severe of the standards that they
- 16:19have because like they're the pinnacle of
- 16:22the sport um
- 16:26I think that they need to play around
- 16:27with their rules, though,
- 16:28and as their sport gets bigger,
- 16:29they have to dial that in much better.
- 16:31Like, I don't know.
- 16:32To me,
- 16:32that's not a DQ on the machine.
- 16:35There's got to be a better way to,
- 16:37like, that's crazy.
- 16:38I mean, make it, uh,
- 16:40fifteen seconds every meter.
- 16:41Like,
- 16:42is it much different than one wall ball?
- 16:45I'd argue one meter is less than one
- 16:47wall ball.
- 16:47Yeah,
- 16:47I would argue that a hundred percent, too.
- 16:49Right.
- 16:50So,
- 16:50if fifteen seconds seems to be your
- 16:52typical penalty, like,
- 16:56I mean, I guess make it hard.
- 16:57I guess make it harsh.
- 16:58Make it fifteen seconds per meter.
- 17:02DQ seems makes no sense.
- 17:04Get crazy again.
- 17:08My thing is and it's been my thing
- 17:10in CrossFit is if it's written in the
- 17:12rules, it's written in the rules.
- 17:14Whenever you leave it ambiguous and open
- 17:17for interpretation is where you get into
- 17:20trouble.
- 17:20Right.
- 17:21And so we were talking before we went
- 17:22on the air.
- 17:25High Rocks, this week alone,
- 17:29has pulled down sponsorship posts because
- 17:33they were not Puma.
- 17:35They were other brands.
- 17:37Then they are now being sought out by
- 17:41a private equity company.
- 17:43And now they have all this judging and
- 17:46rule ambiguity happening this weekend.
- 17:49My gosh,
- 17:50take me back to twenty fourteen fifteen.
- 17:53We're going through the whole series of
- 17:54stuff just in a shorter amount of time.
- 17:58All in one year.
- 18:00I mean,
- 18:00the Nike Reebok wars of twenty fourteen
- 18:03were crazy.
- 18:06How many views were watching them live?
- 18:10I guess I didn't.
- 18:11I've watched a lot of their events live,
- 18:12but I went to go see Family this
- 18:14weekend, so I was hanging out with them,
- 18:16so I didn't see.
- 18:16But the popularity is just going up so
- 18:19much.
- 18:21Now they do interviews prior to the High
- 18:23Rocks event.
- 18:25The Elite Fifteen is really pro-athletes,
- 18:30I guess.
- 18:34I know that the views were a lot.
- 18:37I did not watch it.
- 18:38Is it comparable to the games?
- 18:42That's what I want to know.
- 18:45I think it is.
- 18:46Yeah.
- 18:47I didn't see it live either,
- 18:48so I don't know.
- 18:50But I would imagine.
- 18:54I think it has an easier barrier to
- 18:56entry than CrossFit.
- 18:58Absolutely.
- 18:59because it's running and a handful of
- 19:03disciplines.
- 19:04And if you can figure those out,
- 19:06you can play.
- 19:13I see three hundred and fifty seven
- 19:14thousand views streamed three days ago for
- 19:17the elite fifteen singles.
- 19:20That's games ish, right?
- 19:25Those are just like high.
- 19:26I think those are just like cut.
- 19:28I don't.
- 19:29Yeah.
- 19:30No.
- 19:30Yeah.
- 19:31Three hundred fifty seven thousand.
- 19:32Maybe I'm looking for already this
- 19:36weekend.
- 19:36It's pretty good.
- 19:37That's pretty good.
- 19:40Tessa says, take.
- 19:41Here's my take.
- 19:42Marathon runners gravitate to high rocks.
- 19:45Gymnasts to CrossFit.
- 19:47I mean, the one female that won,
- 19:49isn't she like a previous marathon runner
- 19:52and like just started High Rocks?
- 19:55You know where she's from?
- 19:56With the lower barrier to entry,
- 19:59like you're going to see like a sport
- 20:02like High Rocks,
- 20:02you could see someone enter within that
- 20:04year,
- 20:04a couple of months in and could win
- 20:06the world championship.
- 20:08You could never see that in CrossFit.
- 20:12where someone just starts within a couple
- 20:14months and becomes the CrossFit Games
- 20:15champion.
- 20:16It just wouldn't happen.
- 20:17There's just so many things involved with
- 20:19CrossFit.
- 20:19But with High Rocks,
- 20:22someone that has a tremendous background
- 20:25of running and has some strength involved,
- 20:27they can literally...
- 20:29It can be a whole new field next
- 20:31year, Elite Fifteens,
- 20:32where that turnover is just not that big
- 20:35in CrossFit.
- 20:38Four months ago did her first High Rocks,
- 20:40I think.
- 20:41Crazy.
- 20:43Thanks, Claire.
- 20:45Yeah, she's from Grand Rapids.
- 20:47She trains at Eighth Day.
- 20:50But that's a perfect example.
- 20:52She's training at a CrossFit gym.
- 20:53Yeah.
- 20:55But they're a huge gym that has a
- 20:56dedicated High Rocks for her.
- 20:59But a lot of gyms are having a
- 21:00high rocks piece, right?
- 21:03And I thought when Bruce had his
- 21:06conversation at Two Brains,
- 21:08he talked about that.
- 21:10Don't dog the high rocksers.
- 21:15Bring them in because they could become a
- 21:17part of the community.
- 21:18They're training at your gyms.
- 21:22Don't say you suck and we're great.
- 21:27They're out there moving and they're
- 21:31getting activity in, right?
- 21:33That's what you want.
- 21:39Yeah.
- 21:39But I just think you're going to see
- 21:41as Hyrox continues to just explode
- 21:44worldwide...
- 21:46Like you're going to see a lot of
- 21:48runners enter this,
- 21:49especially as money prize probably starts
- 21:52increasing in the sport.
- 21:53And there's not as much money prize and
- 21:56even like track and field and marathon
- 21:58stuff, you know?
- 22:00like you're going to see a lot of
- 22:01crossover,
- 22:02I think soon to the high rocks where
- 22:04I wonder if the type of athlete that
- 22:06does well there is just going to continue
- 22:07to evolve like into just like our sport
- 22:10changed in terms of like the body type,
- 22:12like it's going to maybe swing completely
- 22:15more towards like,
- 22:16if you have an elite elite runner of
- 22:18like marathon,
- 22:19I don't know if that's the best,
- 22:22but like, who knows, you know?
- 22:26It's become very clear with this winter
- 22:27that High Rocks is all about the running.
- 22:29I wish they would make the stations
- 22:31heavier to balance it out so the stations
- 22:34mattered as much as the run.
- 22:36And there's no gymnastics.
- 22:39Well, arguably the Burpee Broad Jump.
- 22:44Definitely not high-skilled gymnastics for
- 22:46sure.
- 22:47Right.
- 22:48Well, then you're just pushing CrossFit.
- 22:51It is what it is.
- 22:54They probably programmed it correct.
- 22:57It's meeting the market.
- 22:58We have CrossFit.
- 22:59We have heavier stuff.
- 23:00We have gymnastics.
- 23:04Do you see a day,
- 23:06and this is just off the top of
- 23:07my head,
- 23:09that the only way all of this survives
- 23:11is to come together and like create a
- 23:15fitness festival?
- 23:21Within the same weekend of the CrossFit
- 23:23Games,
- 23:24hold the Elite Fifteen or the World
- 23:28Championship of High Rocks,
- 23:30and then the CrossFit Games is also that
- 23:31weekend.
- 23:33That would be actually really cool.
- 23:36one week one week of nothing but fitness
- 23:40all the partners that a power lifting me
- 23:42world champ like tactical games xenon
- 23:46whatever you want to throw in there and
- 23:49just make it this massive where it's just
- 23:52it's almost like the arnold yeah right but
- 23:57not bodybuilding centric
- 24:01I feel like there would be a lot
- 24:02of conflict in the sponsorships and money
- 24:05involved in it, but it would be cool.
- 24:07Well, you treat them as individual events.
- 24:09They're just all being held in the same
- 24:11location at the same time.
- 24:14Yeah,
- 24:14but the setup for High Rocks and then
- 24:16to rip that down and set up the
- 24:18CrossFit Games like you did.
- 24:21If you did that,
- 24:23like Elite Fifteen with CrossFit Games
- 24:24Week.
- 24:25I mean,
- 24:27I feel like CrossFit Games needs an entire
- 24:29week to set up.
- 24:32I don't think...
- 24:35I think they need the week to get
- 24:39broadcast trucks and all that.
- 24:41But you could start sharing that stuff.
- 24:44Right?
- 24:45Rogue redoes the floor overnight the whole
- 24:48weekend.
- 24:52It would be cool.
- 24:55To have all of the High Rocks fans
- 24:57that maybe...
- 24:59don't do CrossFit,
- 25:01watch also the CrossFit and vice versa.
- 25:03And just appreciation of all of the people
- 25:06that are at the top of their sport
- 25:08is cool.
- 25:10Yeah.
- 25:13Again, like I,
- 25:14and if you had someplace like Madison,
- 25:16so like up where they did the cyclocross,
- 25:19hold a tactical games, right?
- 25:21Like you could do a whole bunch of
- 25:23different things all in this big festival
- 25:26weekend, right?
- 25:27like the champion of champions and just
- 25:32one big celebration of fitness.
- 25:35You're right.
- 25:36Egos are going to get in play.
- 25:38It's probably not possible, but man,
- 25:42how you could actually grow this thing by
- 25:45having it like that,
- 25:46I think would be huge.
- 25:49But like, I also feel like,
- 25:52CrossFit should be having booths at High
- 25:55Rocks events if they're allowed to.
- 25:57They, one thousand percent,
- 25:58should be having a booth there.
- 26:01You want to train for High Rocks?
- 26:03This is how you can find an affiliate
- 26:06on the map here.
- 26:08This is what CrossFit is.
- 26:09This is what we have.
- 26:09All these things here.
- 26:12these gyms are affiliated also with High
- 26:14Rocks.
- 26:15I don't know why we don't have booths
- 26:16there.
- 26:17I know that the High Rocks that I've
- 26:18done,
- 26:19there were different sponsorships and
- 26:21stuff.
- 26:22Why can't CrossFit have a booth there?
- 26:24I feel like it's a missed opportunity.
- 26:27I feel like that would be a well
- 26:29worth investment of CrossFit to have
- 26:32people at High Rocks events promoting
- 26:35CrossFit.
- 26:35Does Proven have a booth at High Rocks
- 26:37events?
- 26:39I bet they do.
- 26:42Possibly.
- 26:43Not sure.
- 26:47They have dove headfirst into high rocks.
- 26:51Why not?
- 26:51It's a great opportunity.
- 26:57And now's the time because CrossFit
- 26:58doesn't have any sponsors.
- 27:04I mean, I'm half joking,
- 27:06but we don't have a shoe sponsor.
- 27:12So you don't have to worry about Puma.
- 27:14Yep.
- 27:16Just saying.
- 27:22An affiliate is missing the opportunity at
- 27:24the very least.
- 27:25Yeah,
- 27:26CrossFit affiliate should go try to get a
- 27:28booth.
- 27:31I just think it'd be worth an investment.
- 27:41Believe Days has shoes now?
- 27:43Yeah, they had them last year.
- 27:45I like them.
- 27:49What are they like?
- 27:52What are they like?
- 27:54They're pretty light.
- 27:56What's that?
- 27:57Are they like tears?
- 28:00No, I wouldn't say like tear.
- 28:04I would say...
- 28:13I don't know what they look like.
- 28:14I don't know what...
- 28:19I couldn't stand GORUCK shoes.
- 28:21No, no, no.
- 28:22They're better than GORUCK.
- 28:23I don't know.
- 28:25I like them, though.
- 28:26I wear them all the time to walk
- 28:27around.
- 28:28Are they like Nobles?
- 28:30No.
- 28:30Nobles are much harder.
- 28:32Okay.
- 28:34Are they like a Nano?
- 28:36I'd say closer.
- 28:37Okay.
- 28:39Ken is saying Innovate.
- 28:43old school innovate yeah i'm all about the
- 28:47adidas now oh yeah been sucked into that
- 28:52sponsorship it was really just the um the
- 28:59running shoes are so comfortable
- 29:03i haven't had a pair of adidas shoes
- 29:05in i don't know when the last time
- 29:07i got it our hockey team i think
- 29:09at one point were sponsored by adidas so
- 29:11we had been like not they weren't like
- 29:14running shoes or anything like that i want
- 29:18to say our college cross country team was
- 29:21sponsored by adidas
- 29:23love the running shoes the drop sets are
- 29:26okay the the training shoes i have to
- 29:29like get them off they're fine during the
- 29:30workout but as soon as it's over i've
- 29:32got to get them off um espn brought
- 29:39all all the counter-cultural sports
- 29:41together for the x games scott's idea
- 29:45might be the best playbook for getting
- 29:48bigger sponsors to the games
- 29:53I think you don't have to do all
- 29:54of them right away.
- 29:55You just do three of them maybe together
- 29:57on a weekend.
- 29:59Yeah.
- 30:02Easier said than done.
- 30:04Yeah.
- 30:06And then it would be shared cost too.
- 30:09Right.
- 30:09So everybody wouldn't have to pay as much
- 30:12for the venues and so forth.
- 30:15I think it was Kenneth that said pro
- 30:18wrestling does that.
- 30:19During WrestleMania,
- 30:21they have a bunch of smaller shows in
- 30:23the same city.
- 30:31So...
- 30:33Anyway, um, that I,
- 30:36we got off on a tangent there,
- 30:38but I did want to share this real
- 30:39quick and then we'll get into everything
- 30:43on the agenda.
- 30:44Nope.
- 30:44That's not it.
- 30:47Uh, new March.
- 30:49Oh yeah.
- 30:50This is the approved,
- 30:51the proof I approved last week.
- 30:55Um, so for the games, uh, new shirts.
- 31:03A nice blue,
- 31:05I think they're calling it sapphire shirt
- 31:09with a black logo.
- 31:11Super simple.
- 31:13But to have for the games.
- 31:15I didn't want to go black again.
- 31:18I wanted to find something cool that
- 31:21wouldn't be hot in the California sun as
- 31:24much.
- 31:24So they're coming.
- 31:26I have all sizes from extra small to
- 31:30Clydesdale petite.
- 31:35From Judy.
- 31:36She wants to know if there is a
- 31:38racer back tank option.
- 31:41Judy,
- 31:42what you see on the screen is the
- 31:43option you get right now.
- 31:45You're going to have to get some scissors,
- 31:46Judy, and create this.
- 31:49Once we get some of these sold,
- 31:51then we'll put that money back into
- 31:52getting some other stuff and have some
- 31:55other options.
- 31:59But this is a start.
- 32:01People have been asking for this logo
- 32:04specifically.
- 32:06And so they're on order.
- 32:08They're on the way.
- 32:12And yeah.
- 32:17Oh,
- 32:17I thought it was Judy Reed that asked.
- 32:19No, I said Judy Bauman.
- 32:20Yeah, I wasn't paying attention.
- 32:26And I'm going to have some at the
- 32:27games.
- 32:29So if you see them at the games,
- 32:31you can buy them off me there.
- 32:32I'll try to keep a good stock in
- 32:35my backpack.
- 32:37Well,
- 32:37that helps with some shipping and payment
- 32:39options.
- 32:41Craig is asking if you asked me for
- 32:43advice on payment and shipping.
- 32:46I did not because I'm a pro at
- 32:48this apparently.
- 32:50I pirate ship and just put in so
- 32:54when people order,
- 32:55I just go to pirate ship and print
- 32:56the label.
- 32:58When I would sell on eBay and stuff.
- 33:00I just went to the US post office
- 33:01and printed the label.
- 33:04Yeah, that's time consuming.
- 33:07You go right from your computer.
- 33:12Any budgie smuggler option?
- 33:16bougie bougie smuggler no budgie budgie
- 33:21yeah no no no no is that the
- 33:26australian speedo or whatever yeah uh are
- 33:31you going to wfp stop too in indie
- 33:34uh that is the plan and i was
- 33:36told on the air that i had media
- 33:38credentials i have not seen that in
- 33:39writing
- 33:42So waiting to see that in writing.
- 33:45And once I get that, yes, I'm going.
- 33:47Right now,
- 33:48my goal is to get my wife to
- 33:49go to the games so she can do
- 33:52fan interviews.
- 33:59The feedback on the first one she did
- 34:02at Syndicate was huge.
- 34:04And she's got a little confidence and she
- 34:07thinks she has a place now.
- 34:09So I'm hoping she flies out to the
- 34:10games with me.
- 34:12going to have to learn all the athletes
- 34:15no the beauty of it is that she
- 34:17doesn't know anything that's the beauty of
- 34:20the whole thing there's enough people that
- 34:23interview people that know or think they
- 34:26know everything my wife knows absolutely
- 34:29nothing so that's what makes it charming
- 34:33and different she's just going to be like
- 34:36going up to fans in the crowd because
- 34:38they're going to look like
- 34:40Some of them look like games athletes
- 34:42there, right?
- 34:43Yeah.
- 34:44Are you competing this weekend?
- 34:46Well,
- 34:47she went up to Austin Hatfield's brother,
- 34:49not knowing who Austin Hatfield was,
- 34:52and interviewed him.
- 34:53Yeah.
- 34:54That's the beauty of it.
- 35:00Does she not want to?
- 35:02I think she wants to.
- 35:04We're just trying to figure out,
- 35:06does she have enough time off to go?
- 35:11And to be honest,
- 35:12I got approved for elite media
- 35:14credentials.
- 35:16I tried to see if they would approve
- 35:18me for Masters,
- 35:22and they said I had to go through
- 35:23Legends.
- 35:27So I still don't know where I am
- 35:28there.
- 35:30Not only did I get approved for elites,
- 35:32but I am one of the few people
- 35:34that has a media pass for the pit.
- 35:38They're only giving out like twenty pit
- 35:40passes.
- 35:41Wow.
- 35:41Because there are no sideline pits this
- 35:44year.
- 35:46Only end zone.
- 35:48Finish line.
- 35:50Which is actually some really cool shots.
- 35:55But I can pass that between Ishmael and
- 35:58myself.
- 35:59Okay.
- 36:02I still have to get tickets for...
- 36:05So we get tickets for the Friday.
- 36:07Like we can sit anywhere in the Coliseum
- 36:09on Friday.
- 36:09I do not know the answer to that.
- 36:11I still have to get tickets for the
- 36:13Saturday and Sunday.
- 36:15Look at those.
- 36:21Uh, do you know who I am?
- 36:22I'm the face of masters media.
- 36:27Did you see the RX experience thing that
- 36:29you can get tickets to the, um,
- 36:33It's three hundred dollars a day.
- 36:35I was going to see how much is
- 36:36it?
- 36:37Three hundred.
- 36:38For the outdoor stuff like the Wednesday?
- 36:41So they have it for every day,
- 36:43but it actually allows you to go to
- 36:47the Wednesday events.
- 36:49OK.
- 36:50Because a regular ticket does not allow
- 36:51you to.
- 36:52Right.
- 36:53So it's all the VIP tickets and now
- 36:55they're selling like an add on.
- 36:56Is that what's happening?
- 36:58Correct.
- 36:58OK.
- 37:00so what is it eight hundred dollars for
- 37:02the weekend and then if you want this
- 37:06um vip or rx experience it's more uh
- 37:13carolyn died she's not just staring us
- 37:16down did you pop her out i just
- 37:20popped her out uh
- 37:24But it's not letting me kick her out.
- 37:25That's what happened to me the one time.
- 37:27I just faded to black.
- 37:29It was my charger.
- 37:30I didn't even realize it wasn't quite
- 37:33plugged into my computer.
- 37:37So, anyway, her computer died.
- 37:41Been there, done that.
- 37:45I've been unable to find a place to
- 37:47purchase them.
- 37:47Any suggestions?
- 37:49Wayne, I do not know.
- 37:51rx plus thing yeah good question i don't
- 37:56even know if they're for sale yet or
- 37:59they could be sold out or they could
- 38:01have like i don't know the whole thing
- 38:05is just crazy expensive uh tesla says it
- 38:09sounds like a lifetime fitness it's
- 38:11expensive to be a member and if you
- 38:13want to take classes it's more money
- 38:18That's the biggest problem.
- 38:19We can't even sell the tickets we have.
- 38:22Right.
- 38:23And now you're adding on this bougie coup
- 38:27de grace thing.
- 38:29That's another three hundred bucks per
- 38:31person per day.
- 38:35Yeah.
- 38:36I feel like the people that have the
- 38:39money will do that and they can do
- 38:40that.
- 38:41They would they buy whatever no matter
- 38:43what.
- 38:43Like those are the people that are going
- 38:46to be there anyway.
- 38:49okay, those twenty people,
- 38:51but what about the rest of the empty
- 38:53seats?
- 38:53Agreed.
- 38:57If you want to make a VIP experience
- 38:59that's a thousand dollars, go for it.
- 39:02Right.
- 39:04People will pay it, go for it.
- 39:06But you need to start filling some seats.
- 39:08Right.
- 39:09And not everybody is going to pay that
- 39:11much money.
- 39:15And let's be honest,
- 39:15people don't sit there all day.
- 39:18They sit for a little bit,
- 39:19then they go and they leave,
- 39:21and then they come back maybe for a
- 39:22little bit.
- 39:29I think I used this analogy this week.
- 39:32CrossFit is acting like we have a Mercedes
- 39:36when we have a Honda Accord.
- 39:37Right.
- 39:46All CrossFit has to do next is totally
- 39:48F things up by doing a pay-per-view games
- 39:51online.
- 39:52I disagree.
- 39:53I actually think that that would probably
- 39:54do better than the... What's a jiggy?
- 40:00It's the monthly thing that people...
- 40:01I'm freaking... Whatever it is.
- 40:04The what's a jiggy?
- 40:05Yeah.
- 40:06You know, slowly.
- 40:08I think that if that's the route they
- 40:10go, that's how they totally F it up.
- 40:11I actually think if it was...
- 40:14for that event that weekend just to stream
- 40:18CrossFit games, people would do it.
- 40:21I mean,
- 40:22it's like paying for the Rogue broadcast.
- 40:24People did that.
- 40:26And there wasn't a lot of complaining
- 40:28about that.
- 40:29It's the locking you into this monthly
- 40:31Flow Elite thing that people don't want
- 40:34Flow Elite.
- 40:36Rogue charges you twenty-five dollars for
- 40:38the weekend.
- 40:39You got four camera angles to choose from.
- 40:41Right.
- 40:43the next year you had a movable camera
- 40:45that you could move to whatever lane you
- 40:47wanted to watch at the time for twenty
- 40:50five bucks.
- 40:54I would pay that every time to watch
- 40:56the games.
- 40:59Yeah, I agree.
- 41:03Now, Flo Elite getting a glitchy.
- 41:07Right.
- 41:07You don't know what you're getting and
- 41:08you're like, right.
- 41:09Yes, that is the problem.
- 41:12If Flow Elite wasn't glitchy,
- 41:14I'd still pay for it because I'm a
- 41:16nerd.
- 41:18That's just who I am.
- 41:20I have entertainment dollars.
- 41:22Watching CrossFit is part of my
- 41:24entertainment.
- 41:25And I have not canceled my Flow Elite.
- 41:27Thank you, Wayne, for reminding her there.
- 41:31Well, if you want to watch the Masters,
- 41:32you got to have it next month.
- 41:35I'll be watching.
- 41:38Well, you'll be there.
- 41:40Aaron will be with me,
- 41:41so we don't need the Flow Elite
- 41:43subscription.
- 41:44Here's the other part with all this,
- 41:45right?
- 41:47When they announced the games were going
- 41:48to be in San Jose,
- 41:49they said it was going to be Friday
- 41:51to Sunday.
- 41:52Correct.
- 41:53So I went and got a hotel reservation
- 41:55for Wednesday to Monday,
- 41:58thinking that way I can see some people
- 42:01before the stuff starts.
- 42:03I can go do stuff with them,
- 42:06and I'll be good.
- 42:08Then...
- 42:08They come out with, well,
- 42:10now it's gonna be everybody there and the
- 42:13masters are gonna be before.
- 42:14Now, to change all my plans,
- 42:18I would lose so much money.
- 42:25So the people that I love to hang
- 42:27out with and chat with in the masters
- 42:29community,
- 42:30I can't even get there without taking a
- 42:33bath.
- 42:37Yeah.
- 42:38I feel like that's, I mean,
- 42:40I've said this,
- 42:40like they kind of advertise it as,
- 42:45you know, all back together.
- 42:47This was, this was the year.
- 42:49And then they just didn't,
- 42:51that's not the case.
- 42:52And they didn't even really have masters
- 42:53in mind.
- 42:54Like that should have been,
- 42:56everything should have been broadcast from
- 42:57day one of the week.
- 43:00Cause the games technically start on
- 43:02Tuesday and it should be one ticket for
- 43:05the entire week for everything.
- 43:13I agree.
- 43:14I mean,
- 43:15I understand that it's different entities,
- 43:17but like, I think that's a problem.
- 43:25I completely agree.
- 43:26It's just...
- 43:28It's everything is an afterthought.
- 43:30And for us trying to plan to get
- 43:33there, no wonder nobody shows up.
- 43:36You know how many people got pissed
- 43:37because their arrangements were to fly in
- 43:40on Wednesday and now they're going to miss
- 43:42the whole day.
- 43:43Yeah, exactly.
- 43:47Do you think they were thinking maybe they
- 43:49would start on Thursday and now they've
- 43:51just, I don't know.
- 43:54I mean,
- 43:54you got to think he thought he was
- 43:56doing these events all along,
- 43:57but
- 43:59Cause I,
- 43:59I imagined he probably was thinking he was
- 44:00going to start on Thursday at the ranch
- 44:03and that shouldn't have messed much up.
- 44:05But now I feel like maybe just
- 44:08logistically with everything they want to
- 44:10do or me or, or I don't know,
- 44:13did he, what are they not sold on?
- 44:15And now he's made it funny.
- 44:17And now when they are like,
- 44:18we're going to kill these athletes.
- 44:19So we need the rest day on Thursday.
- 44:22you knew at a minimum they were going
- 44:23to do something at the ranch.
- 44:25For sure.
- 44:26Even though that still has not been
- 44:27announced.
- 44:28It's like the worst kept secret in
- 44:30CrossFit.
- 44:31Right.
- 44:31I just think they were considering doing
- 44:33it on Thursday.
- 44:34I think they were going to do it
- 44:35the day before, start them off site.
- 44:38And then Friday, Saturday,
- 44:39Sunday was going to be at the SAP.
- 44:42But the teams are starting Thursday and
- 44:44that had to be part of the plan
- 44:46all along.
- 44:48You know what I mean?
- 44:50Yeah.
- 44:52And because of that,
- 44:54they had to have an idea that Wednesday
- 44:57was in play.
- 45:00Right.
- 45:00I mean.
- 45:02Right.
- 45:02Because to fit the teams in.
- 45:09Do you think they just figured, you know,
- 45:13it's not really going to be open to
- 45:14the public, so it doesn't really matter?
- 45:18Well,
- 45:18now you're selling three hundred dollar
- 45:19tickets for it.
- 45:20So it does matter.
- 45:21This is this is really strange to me.
- 45:26She's back.
- 45:33Larry Young, Jamie,
- 45:34I was all so all in this year,
- 45:36but after the open,
- 45:37not sure I'll even go to the Masters.
- 45:39And honestly.
- 45:42I'm guessing not sure he's even going to
- 45:44go to the games and not sure I'll
- 45:46even go to the Masters as well.
- 45:49Yeah, I don't know.
- 45:51Larry, I thought you already had.
- 45:52I thought you purchased tickets for the
- 45:54games.
- 45:54Maybe not.
- 45:55Maybe that was Ken.
- 45:58Like right when they came out.
- 46:00I mean, you got to go, Larry.
- 46:03You got to go support your son.
- 46:04He's going to be there coaching.
- 46:06I don't know.
- 46:09I've never been to a games where Larry
- 46:10wasn't there.
- 46:11Yeah.
- 46:13Larry, I expect to see you there.
- 46:15With Clyde's male media shirt on.
- 46:19Yeah, he has tickets.
- 46:20That's what I thought.
- 46:27I don't know where I want to go
- 46:28next.
- 46:28Okay.
- 46:29So now we're at online review.
- 46:31Okay.
- 46:35We have seen a minor tweak on the
- 46:38leaderboard where Nate Ackerman got a
- 46:41point.
- 46:42Yep.
- 46:42He's now tied for eighth.
- 46:45I did see this today also.
- 46:47I don't know if you guys saw this.
- 46:50i've noticed a few things on the woman's
- 46:51side the sydney smith uh ariel lowen got
- 46:55her fifth accepted video oh so she has
- 46:58all five accepted yep love to see it
- 47:01five for five videos accepted good for her
- 47:08and i just grabbed that so some of
- 47:10the athletes are all they already know and
- 47:12they're through all the videos nice
- 47:15On the woman's side,
- 47:17I saw Maddie Fouts lose some points on
- 47:20event one.
- 47:21I saw Fi lose some points on event
- 47:24one.
- 47:25Sydney Smith didn't post the right video
- 47:27on workout three.
- 47:29She posted the deadlift one,
- 47:30so she had a zero.
- 47:31Correct.
- 47:34I'm not sure who else had adjustments.
- 47:37So like right now on the female side,
- 47:41I think if the Jess Green situation is
- 47:44accurate with the judge that may not have
- 47:49their thing,
- 47:51then it goes all the way down to
- 47:54Burgos.
- 47:54Right?
- 47:55So like,
- 48:01daughter yeah yep correct yep which isn't
- 48:07she going team don't think so not this
- 48:13one not that i know of i thought
- 48:16she was i thought she was like the
- 48:18nine eighteen nineteen year old that cj is
- 48:21that has like wasn't she going with that
- 48:25the two
- 48:26the two boys the one that won the
- 48:28wild ball workout the one that cj's
- 48:31coaching yeah from i don't think she's on
- 48:35that team oh i thought she was i
- 48:37thought no isn't this isn't this gucci
- 48:40isn't that who this is burgross isn't that
- 48:43gucci no no gucci is older okay but
- 48:49uh burgross is young
- 48:51I thought that was the same person.
- 48:53I thought Burgos was Gucci.
- 48:54No.
- 48:54Gotcha.
- 48:55Okay.
- 48:55No.
- 49:00But she's done well in person as well
- 49:02this year too.
- 49:03And I know her through the Rogue
- 49:05Challenges this year.
- 49:06She joined those.
- 49:07And yeah, she's fit.
- 49:08So I think right now it's looking like
- 49:11she might get the last spot in.
- 49:15If the Jess Green situation is...
- 49:18What was the, her,
- 49:19her floor judge didn't have their L one.
- 49:22So from what she had put on the
- 49:24board of like the names of the judges,
- 49:28the ones that she entered are not the
- 49:30same as the ones that were on the
- 49:31board.
- 49:32And the one that was on the board,
- 49:35if you look up the,
- 49:36in the trainer directory doesn't have
- 49:39their advanced judges course.
- 49:41They only have like their level one and
- 49:43maybe the regular judges course.
- 49:45So we're wondering if possibly she entered
- 49:48someone else's name that had their
- 49:51advanced judge's course.
- 49:54Yeah.
- 49:55Unless it was a mistake on her part
- 49:57and that wasn't the judge.
- 50:00If in the background she can prove that
- 50:01that person was there, then maybe.
- 50:05That's sketch.
- 50:07It's the old Einhorn is Finkel,
- 50:09Finkel is Einhorn.
- 50:10But if that happens,
- 50:11that she put another judge,
- 50:12is that like a sanction?
- 50:14Like,
- 50:14will they suspend her like they did to
- 50:17other people that wrote other judges?
- 50:20It seems like an intentional... I mean,
- 50:22if she was planning on using what's
- 50:23written on the board and that's who was
- 50:24on the floor,
- 50:25even if the other person was in the
- 50:27gym, I mean,
- 50:29I think the intention was to use the
- 50:30two names that were written on the board
- 50:32and then she went to type them in
- 50:33and it wasn't there,
- 50:34so she put someone else in.
- 50:36So I feel like that's an intentional...
- 50:40breaking of the rules vicky when you say
- 50:43she introduces him on camera is that the
- 50:46one that has the advanced course or the
- 50:49one that doesn't have is is the one
- 50:54she introduces on camera the one she put
- 50:56in yeah that's with her score because that
- 51:00would be unfortunate if not only would she
- 51:03lose her spot to the games but she
- 51:05gets like a two-year suspension um
- 51:09You would think after seeing that from
- 51:11other athletes this year,
- 51:14you would not do that yourself.
- 51:19She introduced the one whose judges'
- 51:21courses are old.
- 51:22Who doesn't have the advanced judges'
- 51:24courses.
- 51:24The one who she wrote on the board.
- 51:26That's who she introduces.
- 51:29She went to go submit the score.
- 51:30That person's name didn't pop up because
- 51:32they weren't an eligible judge and she
- 51:33typed in someone else.
- 51:34That seems incredibly intentional.
- 51:36Why would you risk...
- 51:38your whole opportunity for that.
- 51:46I just don't I don't get it.
- 51:50Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
- 51:52Did you wait until this is why so
- 51:54like, I put in my scores each day,
- 51:57like as I do, like, yeah,
- 51:58you do it right away.
- 51:59So like,
- 51:59you can see right away that judges Yeah,
- 52:02I mean,
- 52:02I look I look up mine on the
- 52:04directory prior.
- 52:07And then, but if you,
- 52:08if you were to, let's say, look,
- 52:10start posting your scores right away,
- 52:12you would notice right away that judge
- 52:13doesn't pop up for whatever reason.
- 52:16And then be like, Oh crap,
- 52:18I got to redo this workout because that
- 52:20score is no,
- 52:20like it's not even a score right now.
- 52:23And don't use that person again.
- 52:25Yes.
- 52:25Can't use that person.
- 52:27Right.
- 52:31Yeah.
- 52:31I just,
- 52:32it's too important to like mess it up.
- 52:36Like,
- 52:39It's like when you file your taxes,
- 52:41like you go over that with a fine
- 52:43tooth comb because you don't want to get
- 52:44audited.
- 52:46Right.
- 52:48You're submitting this as if you're fifth
- 52:52in the world, sixth in the world,
- 52:54like you're trying to make this some kind
- 52:56of a career or at least a pretty
- 52:58big supplement to your career.
- 53:06Do you really think she would
- 53:07intentionally cheat over a judge?
- 53:09That is just stupid and of no advantage.
- 53:13You say that,
- 53:14but people have done it already this year.
- 53:16Yeah, it's happening.
- 53:18Because it's a cumbersome process,
- 53:22and if you don't act on it before
- 53:26day one,
- 53:27you are in a pickle.
- 53:28And if you're going to submit a score,
- 53:31if that person,
- 53:32the problem is she goes to type in
- 53:34that person's name and they don't pop up.
- 53:36What else do you do?
- 53:39I mean,
- 53:39I guess you have to make an intentional
- 53:41choice.
- 53:41Do you,
- 53:44are you out of time to redo?
- 53:46Do you just put in someone else's name
- 53:47that was maybe there at the gym with
- 53:49you and hope you can ask for forgiveness?
- 53:52It, I mean, it's, yeah,
- 53:54it's a lot to ask.
- 53:58the athletes and if people are advanced
- 54:00judges um requirement is so stupid online
- 54:05especially when the videos are public like
- 54:08like it's just so silly that something
- 54:10like that would make her ineligible to
- 54:12qualify for the games when like if all
- 54:15of her reps are all good and let's
- 54:17say everything's legit in terms of
- 54:19movement standards and and scores
- 54:22it's just so silly that we have the
- 54:24performance there that we can see that we
- 54:29can judge.
- 54:29And you'd be like, no,
- 54:31you can't do it.
- 54:33Like, it's just so silly.
- 54:34Here's the problem.
- 54:35Carolyn is CrossFit has changed their
- 54:37focus from last year saying,
- 54:42we're giving you these two judges that
- 54:44have to have these qualifications.
- 54:46So we don't have to do as much
- 54:48on our end.
- 54:50Then this year,
- 54:52They had the same requirement but said,
- 54:54we don't trust those judges.
- 54:56It's going to be a bloodbath and video
- 54:58review.
- 55:00So it is kind of a moving target
- 55:02as to what they're looking for from this
- 55:08policy.
- 55:09I just don't get why you need two
- 55:11people.
- 55:11I agree.
- 55:13That judge does nothing.
- 55:16Agreed.
- 55:18Their job should be
- 55:20to look at the camera and make sure
- 55:22that you're staying in frame with the
- 55:24clock or something, you know?
- 55:25And like,
- 55:26if they need to move the camera,
- 55:27because the bar is covering the line,
- 55:29they could like move the camera up,
- 55:31but keep you in frame and then re
- 55:33put it like that could be the job
- 55:36of the second judge.
- 55:38But like,
- 55:38have you seen a second judge go into
- 55:40the floor and be like, with that,
- 55:43you just need a video degree,
- 55:45not a judge's course.
- 55:47Honestly, I think that's what they need.
- 55:48That's what they need.
- 55:49You need someone that's a videographer.
- 55:54Technology inclined and can set up your
- 55:57camera
- 55:59move around i i honestly think they should
- 56:02do away with the dang two judges on
- 56:03the floor yeah and you only have to
- 56:04be there like at the beginning you don't
- 56:06that judge doesn't even need to be in
- 56:07frame like your floor judge has to be
- 56:09in the camera the whole time the head
- 56:11judge has to get introduced and that's it
- 56:14they could go say hi and then leave
- 56:18it's so stupid they do nothing uh raf
- 56:23a hundred percent agree with carolyn the
- 56:24judging thing is a nuisance
- 56:27It just,
- 56:27it definitely makes it hard for athletes
- 56:30that don't have training camps that just
- 56:32have people readily available to judge at
- 56:34any point in the day,
- 56:35at any hour of the day that may
- 56:37just be there for a group of people
- 56:40to like find two people that are there
- 56:43all weekend with those qualifications.
- 56:45Like it's very hard for people that might
- 56:47just be themselves at the gym.
- 56:49So someone like a Jess Green,
- 56:52I call that screen, Jess Green,
- 56:54I don't know if she's the only one
- 56:57in her gym, but it's just difficult.
- 57:01It's just an extra requirement that I
- 57:03don't think is necessary.
- 57:05The judges just end up being the same
- 57:07people that would have judged you anyway.
- 57:10They aren't going to be much better by
- 57:13taking the course.
- 57:16Ultimately, I think that's...
- 57:19I've heard this brought up on a couple
- 57:21different podcasts that
- 57:23You know, these people,
- 57:24these people aren't really going to know
- 57:26rep their athlete, their friends,
- 57:28their spouse, but they're,
- 57:32there's just too much writing on the line.
- 57:34I like,
- 57:35I think just hammer the dang online review
- 57:38and.
- 57:39whether you want to have a judge in
- 57:41your frame to help you is up to
- 57:43you.
- 57:43But like, shoot,
- 57:44if you go into the gym by yourself
- 57:46and you want to do the workout and
- 57:47you want to go back and watch your
- 57:48video and count your reps,
- 57:49make sure you did everything and look at
- 57:50your reps and be like,
- 57:51that's what I'm submitting.
- 57:52That was, I moved well.
- 57:56That should be what we do.
- 57:58People that have their judges course can
- 57:59go and do the down or up votes.
- 58:04Which is also crazy.
- 58:06Did you see this one guy had a
- 58:08form to go and down
- 58:12vote all these people that were like in
- 58:13between their athlete and like their score
- 58:17like it just becomes like a just a
- 58:20crazy process but yeah like if you are
- 58:23comfortable and you don't need a judge
- 58:24let's say and you can count properly and
- 58:26you know that you're in frame with
- 58:28everything now certain like workouts would
- 58:30be easier to have someone else there that
- 58:32could go and turn on your rower or
- 58:34something you know but if you're able to
- 58:36do everything i don't understand why you
- 58:38can't do that like why are we making
- 58:40it so difficult on
- 58:43Like, it's just a process that like,
- 58:45it's an extra step for CrossFit to go
- 58:46invalid, like go and verify all of that.
- 58:51Yeah, I think Mark makes a great point.
- 58:54Your online judges may have more
- 58:56credentials than in person for some court
- 58:58comps.
- 58:59That is an imagined mark.
- 59:01That is a fact.
- 59:04doesn't make them good judges though you
- 59:06may have that advanced judges course is
- 59:09almost like so irrelevant for the online
- 59:11it's a good course if you're going to
- 59:13do a judges if you're going to go
- 59:15volunteer or get paid for a judges um
- 59:20for a judge or something like at an
- 59:22event and you see what the roles of
- 59:24all the different people are and all that
- 59:26but like there's not really much
- 59:30additional information in that advanced
- 59:32judges course that make them more advanced
- 59:36in general?
- 59:38Lori Winkleman, whoops,
- 59:42her and I had a conversation online.
- 59:45Regardless of that,
- 59:46Boz alluded to changing online judging
- 59:47requirements for masters next year.
- 59:50If they're alluding to it for masters,
- 59:52I'm assuming it would be more widespread.
- 59:55I know what assuming can do.
- 59:57But I am assuming if you're changing it
- 59:59for one, it'll change for more than that.
- 1:00:07You tried to pull up something, Jamie.
- 1:00:09Oh, Vicki said, but people don't do that.
- 1:00:13I agree they don't because the precedent
- 1:00:15last year was
- 1:00:17have your two judges in there and we're
- 1:00:20going to trust them.
- 1:00:21Now,
- 1:00:21if they were very clear at the beginning,
- 1:00:23like if,
- 1:00:23if we got rid of the judges and
- 1:00:26said, we're going to hammer you online,
- 1:00:29you're an idiot.
- 1:00:30If you don't go watch your video and
- 1:00:31look and slow them down and be like,
- 1:00:34Oh, that was questionable.
- 1:00:35I need to redo that workout.
- 1:00:37And truthfully,
- 1:00:38I think more athletes need to start doing
- 1:00:39that and figuring out how they're moving
- 1:00:41because it's shit.
- 1:00:45Well,
- 1:00:45I would say you're an idiot if you
- 1:00:49don't have a certified judge and then put
- 1:00:53one in on your submission.
- 1:00:56As it is,
- 1:00:57we need to follow what they say.
- 1:00:59Especially knowing that people have been
- 1:01:03suspended for that this year.
- 1:01:04Well,
- 1:01:04you just saw all the masters have that
- 1:01:06issue.
- 1:01:07You just saw that people got two or
- 1:01:09four years, two year,
- 1:01:10two year bans for doing that exact thing.
- 1:01:15why would you ever risk that of your
- 1:01:18own career?
- 1:01:20That makes no sense, which is why,
- 1:01:22like in my head,
- 1:01:23I'm still giving the benefit of the doubt
- 1:01:25that there's a mistake there somewhere.
- 1:01:28And that could be proven otherwise.
- 1:01:31Cause I mean, right now they're still up,
- 1:01:33they're still up.
- 1:01:34So there could be some sort of video
- 1:01:39that we don't know a different angle or
- 1:01:41I don't know.
- 1:01:43Andrew said,
- 1:01:43nothing beats experience from in-person
- 1:01:45judging.
- 1:01:46I agree with that a hundred percent.
- 1:01:49As fast as elite athletes move,
- 1:01:51you cannot do,
- 1:01:52you cannot figure that out on online.
- 1:01:58Well, what's difficult with online is,
- 1:02:00is all is like the angles that people
- 1:02:02film from.
- 1:02:03First of all, like,
- 1:02:04let's say the wall ball one with the
- 1:02:06double unders, right?
- 1:02:08so many athletes are putting their camera
- 1:02:10at the side of the far side of
- 1:02:12the handstand walk versus putting it to
- 1:02:15where you're going to do your wall ball
- 1:02:16and your double unders.
- 1:02:17And like, okay,
- 1:02:18you don't see the end maybe of your
- 1:02:21handstand walk,
- 1:02:21but you see one handstand walk your wall,
- 1:02:24but like it's some gyms.
- 1:02:27I feel like are done.
- 1:02:28Okay.
- 1:02:29Like maybe it was too tight from that
- 1:02:30angle,
- 1:02:31but there's a lot of gyms that you're
- 1:02:32like, no, you just chose that angle.
- 1:02:34Oh, absolutely.
- 1:02:35Like,
- 1:02:37there are some exceptions a hundred
- 1:02:38percent that like where the wall target is
- 1:02:41like there's just not enough like you'd
- 1:02:43have to actually rotate the phone but
- 1:02:45there's others we know why we chose that
- 1:02:48angle for a reason yeah or or you
- 1:02:51have to get the whole handstand walk uh
- 1:02:54route in here in columbus and you go
- 1:02:56to cincinnati to film it just to make
- 1:02:59sure
- 1:03:01but every almost every single year we've
- 1:03:05programmed movements that are always like
- 1:03:07tougher to judge it was like let's say
- 1:03:08handstand push-ups and it was that was
- 1:03:10always paired with like a handstand walk
- 1:03:11which then you need to see all the
- 1:03:13way and then people like all the way
- 1:03:15across the twenty five feet so then the
- 1:03:16camera is backed up way further like I
- 1:03:20feel like if you have movements that are
- 1:03:21always a little bit more difficult to
- 1:03:25judge like you don't pair them
- 1:03:27I'm telling you, I think a second judge,
- 1:03:30the second judge should be holding the
- 1:03:33camera and moving it.
- 1:03:35It should always be like no,
- 1:03:37like ten feet from the athlete at a
- 1:03:39forty five degree angle.
- 1:03:40And if they start handstand walking,
- 1:03:41you're you're moving it.
- 1:03:45That should be the role of the second
- 1:03:46person.
- 1:03:50uh max says the only thing with that
- 1:03:52is i could see people like changing where
- 1:03:54the tape lines are like just like i
- 1:03:56just think about just something crazy like
- 1:03:58that yeah like you could be like moving
- 1:04:01you could be switching a dumbbell out yeah
- 1:04:03because like equipment is out of frame
- 1:04:05yeah i could see that i'm just thinking
- 1:04:06about like what some people would do yeah
- 1:04:09you're right they would that dumbbell just
- 1:04:12got much smaller
- 1:04:14What if they gathered the athletes
- 1:04:16together, say by region,
- 1:04:17had them do the workouts at the same
- 1:04:19time with judges?
- 1:04:21Max,
- 1:04:22that is an example of there's this thing
- 1:04:25that we want and there's this thing that
- 1:04:28we can afford.
- 1:04:31And the problem is they don't mesh.
- 1:04:35Yep.
- 1:04:36Yet.
- 1:04:38I think there's a way.
- 1:04:41to downscale what that regional
- 1:04:45competition would be to make it affordable
- 1:04:52but right now flat regionals just cannot
- 1:04:55it's way too expensive um okay so there's
- 1:05:07that we had a couple announcements this
- 1:05:10week
- 1:05:12hopper yep and a pool yep thoughts i'm
- 1:05:22excited i mean the hopper is as crossfit
- 1:05:27methodology is it gets right there in
- 1:05:30terms of that's one of the definitions of
- 1:05:33basically what is fitness um so i think
- 1:05:35it's cool uh he said someone else would
- 1:05:38program it which i thought was cool is
- 1:05:42it the next person that's programming is
- 1:05:43he is this his last year and it's
- 1:05:44going to be the next person that's taking
- 1:05:46over like next year do you think it's
- 1:05:51his last year i don't know i'm just
- 1:05:53saying like if it was his last year
- 1:05:54like
- 1:05:56could he be handing off that workout to
- 1:05:57whoever's programming next year?
- 1:05:59That thought process,
- 1:06:00if that's truly in the work, but I,
- 1:06:03I mean, he said not someone from CrossFit.
- 1:06:06So I doubt that someone will be
- 1:06:07programming the games next year.
- 1:06:08That isn't in CrossFit.
- 1:06:10So like Greg.
- 1:06:11Yeah.
- 1:06:12Yeah.
- 1:06:14Here's my thought,
- 1:06:15first about Dave being his last year.
- 1:06:18When I first heard that, I was like,
- 1:06:19come on.
- 1:06:20That guy will never give it up.
- 1:06:22And then the more and more I listen
- 1:06:23to the athlete interviews,
- 1:06:25the more and more I start leaning to
- 1:06:27this is it.
- 1:06:28Why?
- 1:06:32Yeah.
- 1:06:32I just think the way he's answering
- 1:06:34questions is this is it.
- 1:06:37I think when he was asked who would
- 1:06:40be a good replacement for him,
- 1:06:41he didn't blink when he said Boz.
- 1:06:46and then he talked about how he has
- 1:06:48been mentoring Boz to take over the
- 1:06:51mantle.
- 1:06:55Just little bits the way he is saying
- 1:06:58things.
- 1:07:00Again, it's a leaning.
- 1:07:03I'm not saying I'm a hundred percent
- 1:07:05thinking it's there,
- 1:07:06but I'm starting to lean where I do
- 1:07:09believe that he is ready to hand it
- 1:07:12off.
- 1:07:15And two,
- 1:07:16like he started the educational program
- 1:07:18with CrossFit and maybe,
- 1:07:20and he was a teacher as a SEAL.
- 1:07:24Maybe he wants to get back into the
- 1:07:26teaching aspect of things.
- 1:07:28I don't think he's leaving CrossFit.
- 1:07:29Pivoting?
- 1:07:34Yeah.
- 1:07:37His daughter's getting into high school.
- 1:07:40Maybe it's just time to like do something
- 1:07:42that's more
- 1:07:45year-round kind of scheduled maybe so i
- 1:07:54don't i mean i have been enjoying the
- 1:07:56interviews though and he has been saying a
- 1:07:58little bit of information like yeah we
- 1:07:59know the pool yeah we know the hopper
- 1:08:02he also said i think it was with
- 1:08:03saxon that there's repeat workouts okay
- 1:08:07there was there was an s to it
- 1:08:08he said some
- 1:08:10I don't know which interview because I
- 1:08:13listened to a few on the road today.
- 1:08:16Then there was another one.
- 1:08:18We know that there's multiple that are
- 1:08:20less than a hundred points.
- 1:08:23Saxon, I think,
- 1:08:24asked if any from twenty twenty is coming
- 1:08:26back because Saxon was on the demo team
- 1:08:28that year, a testing team.
- 1:08:29Sorry, I should say.
- 1:08:31He said perhaps.
- 1:08:34I think the swimming stuff is coming back.
- 1:08:36I think that swimming event is coming back
- 1:08:37as one of the ones that
- 1:08:39because he did ask dave what his favorite
- 1:08:40workout from twenty twenty was and he said
- 1:08:43swimming stuff really and and and he
- 1:08:47particularly asked if there was one from
- 1:08:49that year coming and dave did say yes
- 1:08:54yeah so there's a few little parts if
- 1:08:57you listen to the interviews like and when
- 1:09:00he asked i don't know which athlete i
- 1:09:02think it was saxon that asked about
- 1:09:04repeated workouts
- 1:09:07I think they've said there will be some.
- 1:09:09So that means more than a singular
- 1:09:13workout.
- 1:09:13So if you're training for the games as
- 1:09:15an individual right now,
- 1:09:17like you have a little bit of pieces
- 1:09:19that you're.
- 1:09:21I also liked when Saxon asked him about,
- 1:09:25because he's a smaller athlete,
- 1:09:27what are his thoughts on machines?
- 1:09:30And they had a really good kind of
- 1:09:32back and forth about that.
- 1:09:35I thought that was really good.
- 1:09:36All of them have been great that I've
- 1:09:38listened to.
- 1:09:39And I was putting up a backsplash today,
- 1:09:42so I had them on just one after
- 1:09:45another after another.
- 1:09:47And so they were great.
- 1:09:50But yeah,
- 1:09:51when they started talking about twenty
- 1:09:52twenty,
- 1:09:53it was like two old buddies who had
- 1:09:55been through something.
- 1:09:57kind of reminiscing.
- 1:09:59And when Dave said,
- 1:10:01my favorite workout from that year was
- 1:10:03swimming stuff because it was gnarly.
- 1:10:07I was like,
- 1:10:08that's the pool event right there.
- 1:10:10I think it is.
- 1:10:11I think because Matt also said how
- 1:10:13difficult that was and how he wished that
- 1:10:15more people experienced that workout.
- 1:10:18I'm sure Dave like listens to that and
- 1:10:20is like, yeah,
- 1:10:21we're going to do that at some point
- 1:10:22again.
- 1:10:23The way Saxon asked the question was,
- 1:10:25if you could do any of the twenty
- 1:10:26twenty events for thirty or forty people,
- 1:10:30which one would it be?
- 1:10:31And that's what he said.
- 1:10:32Swimming stuff.
- 1:10:33he said a few of them but that
- 1:10:35was one of them he started with that
- 1:10:36and then went to the trail run and
- 1:10:39the snatch speed ladder and then hannah he
- 1:10:45said that there's going to be plenty
- 1:10:46opportunities for her to shine he did okay
- 1:10:51um let's talk about the elephant in the
- 1:10:54room though i did not know that you
- 1:10:57were coaching jeff adler
- 1:11:01No, that I am married to Jack.
- 1:11:03You're married to him.
- 1:11:04I think that's the second time that he
- 1:11:06said that too.
- 1:11:08He said it before too.
- 1:11:10I messaged it right away to Lombre.
- 1:11:14So Dave did that.
- 1:11:15It's an ongoing joke now.
- 1:11:18Then in the interview with Hannah Black,
- 1:11:22he said that he called Travis Mayer fat.
- 1:11:26And was glad that he lost all the
- 1:11:28weight because he got a mixed up with
- 1:11:30Travis.
- 1:11:31Oh my gosh.
- 1:11:35And then he goes and talks about how
- 1:11:37there's not many female athletes at the
- 1:11:38top.
- 1:11:39So she's coached by a parent, um,
- 1:11:41from training think tank.
- 1:11:42And then he's like, Oh, there's, you know,
- 1:11:44Carolyn Prevo, who's, you know,
- 1:11:46Jeff Adler's wife and coaches him.
- 1:11:49And then she's like, right.
- 1:11:50And I'm like, Oh my God.
- 1:11:51I know.
- 1:11:51I'm like, no.
- 1:11:58So yeah, I am not his wife.
- 1:12:05Yeah.
- 1:12:05You can definitely tell like Dave is not,
- 1:12:09does not dive into the,
- 1:12:11the year round media around the athletes.
- 1:12:18CrossFit says he sees the resemblance
- 1:12:20though.
- 1:12:23Caroline Lambert just has a little bit a
- 1:12:26better tan.
- 1:12:26Yeah.
- 1:12:29That's about it.
- 1:12:33Avera asked if Masters would see swimming
- 1:12:38or twenty events.
- 1:12:40I would say no to both of those,
- 1:12:41Avera.
- 1:12:42Well,
- 1:12:42I don't even think that our events are
- 1:12:45related at all to...
- 1:12:47what the elites will do.
- 1:12:49Although it would be nice if, you know,
- 1:12:52one or two events were similar across all.
- 1:12:57I agree,
- 1:12:57but I just don't see it happening.
- 1:12:59We're in a different setup at a convention
- 1:13:01center, completely like separated.
- 1:13:04I just don't see like,
- 1:13:06we're just a different competition.
- 1:13:08Like they have their test of the fitness
- 1:13:11of the fittest.
- 1:13:12And we have our own test of the
- 1:13:15fittest that is different.
- 1:13:18completely different yep yeah i agree i my
- 1:13:25smear campaign to the people who run the
- 1:13:28legends masters i'm not a fan of their
- 1:13:30workouts and i'm not a fan of their
- 1:13:33event organization for a games
- 1:13:37presentation for their own little legends
- 1:13:39thing go to town be all you want
- 1:13:42to be right um
- 1:13:47So the hopper, we talked about the hopper.
- 1:13:51What I love about that is when Dave
- 1:13:53explained that they are pretty much
- 1:13:55throwing caution to the wind.
- 1:13:57And the only reason a movement would not
- 1:14:02be in the hopper is if they didn't
- 1:14:04have the equipment available or able to
- 1:14:08get up in time for the workout.
- 1:14:10Right.
- 1:14:11Like just because they're doing handstand
- 1:14:12pushups two events later,
- 1:14:13they aren't going to not put it in
- 1:14:15the hopper.
- 1:14:16I love that.
- 1:14:17yeah it might be a different style
- 1:14:19different volume i think it's gonna be
- 1:14:24really interesting to see what comes out
- 1:14:27how they program it well especially
- 1:14:30because they know what's afterwards too
- 1:14:35when dave did i think it was with
- 1:14:37ben fowler maybe he was saying that um
- 1:14:43Like they do get the opportunity to
- 1:14:46program what those movements are.
- 1:14:49So they can program it in a way
- 1:14:52that it will still be different than the
- 1:14:55way you did that movement or, you know,
- 1:14:59they can make it heavier or lighter or
- 1:15:01whatever.
- 1:15:02Right.
- 1:15:06Well,
- 1:15:06I thought it was interesting because when
- 1:15:08they first did it,
- 1:15:09they had like green
- 1:15:12red and blue and it meant heavy medium
- 1:15:16and light so will they not do that
- 1:15:18this year because will it just be like
- 1:15:22just one color of thrusters so that they
- 1:15:26can program around it and be like okay
- 1:15:27this needs to be light because we're doing
- 1:15:28heavy later because if they if you had
- 1:15:31heavy in there and you're doing heavy
- 1:15:32later and you pulled the heavy out yeah
- 1:15:36that's just even more interference so i'll
- 1:15:38be curious how they do that
- 1:15:40And there's nothing to say that later in
- 1:15:42the weekend they don't make an adjustment
- 1:15:44to that one.
- 1:15:45True.
- 1:15:46Right?
- 1:15:46Because I've worked,
- 1:15:48I've volunteered in twenty seventeen.
- 1:15:51Stuff changed throughout the weekend as we
- 1:15:55were prepping to get the equipment ready.
- 1:15:59Yeah, I suppose that's possible.
- 1:16:04I mean, and then for obvious reasons,
- 1:16:06like it poured down rain and alpaca
- 1:16:09got the the rope removed from it the
- 1:16:11one year right you just things happen and
- 1:16:14you have to adjust that workout completely
- 1:16:16to just a sled and the heavy kettlebells
- 1:16:21and just took out all the difficult part
- 1:16:22of the gym i was i was so
- 1:16:25pissed because christy was doing so well
- 1:16:27she was so mad
- 1:16:29And she would have killed it with the
- 1:16:31rope climb.
- 1:16:31She complained a lot.
- 1:16:34What's funny is,
- 1:16:35did Roman win both iterations?
- 1:16:37Like the following year?
- 1:16:38He did.
- 1:16:39Which is cool.
- 1:16:46Any chance they have Annie Sakamoto's
- 1:16:48daughter pull the workout?
- 1:16:52Did Annie pull it the first time?
- 1:16:58I don't know.
- 1:16:59Was she not competing?
- 1:17:02Annie didn't compete ever until like
- 1:17:04twenty twelve.
- 1:17:08Is this the strongest field of the games
- 1:17:10we've seen?
- 1:17:16It's got to be up there.
- 1:17:17I think it's got to be up there.
- 1:17:19It's not really any people not really
- 1:17:21deserving.
- 1:17:24I'd like to see how the online semi
- 1:17:26shakes out.
- 1:17:27Right.
- 1:17:30But just with the way the season kind
- 1:17:32of played out and that people could go
- 1:17:34anywhere.
- 1:17:36Like obviously some people could have
- 1:17:37traveled that are as good enough,
- 1:17:39but then didn't.
- 1:17:40But for the most part,
- 1:17:41like this has to be one of the
- 1:17:44deepest field that we've seen.
- 1:17:50I think so.
- 1:17:51I mean,
- 1:17:51you don't have like four or five random
- 1:17:52people that you're like for sure going to
- 1:17:54be last.
- 1:17:55You may have one or two,
- 1:17:56but not like four or five.
- 1:17:58Yeah, like you start looking, you're like,
- 1:17:59wow,
- 1:18:00like some people are going to be in
- 1:18:01the, you know,
- 1:18:02close to thirty and they're really,
- 1:18:04really, really good.
- 1:18:08I don't want to give any credence to
- 1:18:09this season because I hated it.
- 1:18:12Me too.
- 1:18:15So it would it would have to be
- 1:18:16a pretty remarkable field for me to give
- 1:18:19validation to that.
- 1:18:23But I understand what you're saying.
- 1:18:27Because people traveled and... Correct.
- 1:18:30That alone already fixed one of the
- 1:18:32major... Yeah.
- 1:18:33Yeah.
- 1:18:38The fact that Miley Wade and Annika Greer
- 1:18:40got two spots out of South America.
- 1:18:43Yep.
- 1:18:44I mean,
- 1:18:44Annika would have got it elsewhere,
- 1:18:46I think, too.
- 1:18:47And Miley's... Right.
- 1:18:48But she blocked others from getting it.
- 1:18:49Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:18:56That's the key.
- 1:19:01So people are guessing on.
- 1:19:02So I guess Annie Sakamoto's daughter
- 1:19:04pulled the ball back in two thousand
- 1:19:06seven.
- 1:19:07Oh.
- 1:19:10And they're asking.
- 1:19:11And then Raph said, no,
- 1:19:12it should be Tia.
- 1:19:15Tia pulls the balls.
- 1:19:17Yeah, and we'll... What does proven want?
- 1:19:21Come on, Carol, it's random.
- 1:19:25Ricky, what do you want to see?
- 1:19:29Should Matt pull one, Rich pull one,
- 1:19:31and Tia pull one?
- 1:19:35You think you can get Matt to the
- 1:19:36games?
- 1:19:36Pulling the ball doesn't really matter.
- 1:19:37It's really about picking the workout.
- 1:19:40That's where you go wrong.
- 1:19:40But then again...
- 1:19:43you have people on testing workouts and
- 1:19:45demo teams that are best friends and he
- 1:19:49might come.
- 1:19:51I mean, I guess Dave has said,
- 1:19:52depending on who come,
- 1:19:53but part of this Friday athlete, you know,
- 1:19:57is all the past champions.
- 1:19:58Yeah.
- 1:20:00Well, maybe they kind of worked that out.
- 1:20:03That'd be a big one to be missing.
- 1:20:07You know, I,
- 1:20:07I tried at one point to get a
- 1:20:09selfie with all the past champions and
- 1:20:12i came real close the wells sisters yeah
- 1:20:21dave would probably go for that no that's
- 1:20:25for like testing workouts or demo uh pesa
- 1:20:33craig says it would be cool if tyson
- 1:20:34pulled one first of all i know it's
- 1:20:36been announced that he's coming to the
- 1:20:38games
- 1:20:40And yes, I'm already a little giddy.
- 1:20:43However,
- 1:20:45I don't know how he's going to get
- 1:20:46away from training camp.
- 1:20:47Yeah.
- 1:20:49That was the problem last year.
- 1:20:51Yeah, but this is earlier.
- 1:20:52Yeah,
- 1:20:52but he might just be going for one
- 1:20:53day.
- 1:20:54Camp starts like that week.
- 1:20:57Does it?
- 1:20:57Really?
- 1:20:58Are you sure it's not a week later?
- 1:21:00I'm pretty sure.
- 1:21:01I mean,
- 1:21:02maybe he met his dad because Dave with
- 1:21:06names.
- 1:21:09Did he mean him or his dad was
- 1:21:10going to be there?
- 1:21:14It might just be for one day.
- 1:21:16I don't think Travis is the draw to
- 1:21:19make a big announcement that Tyson is.
- 1:21:22Travis is cool and all.
- 1:21:25Greatest arm wrestler of all time.
- 1:21:28But he's not an NFL quarterback.
- 1:21:35He's got that charter jet money now.
- 1:21:37Dude.
- 1:21:38And compared to the people he plays with,
- 1:21:41He's still down there on the pay list.
- 1:21:45Was all of it guaranteed?
- 1:21:47No, right?
- 1:21:48In football, a lot of it's not guaranteed.
- 1:21:50Of the six million, ten was guaranteed.
- 1:21:52It kicks in this year.
- 1:21:54So he'll get a big chunk of it
- 1:21:56this year.
- 1:21:58But he'll get it all, if not more.
- 1:22:01They'll rework it or... I mean,
- 1:22:07teams are calling about him in the
- 1:22:09offseason.
- 1:22:11The Bears just didn't want to get rid
- 1:22:12of him.
- 1:22:19I do think it'll probably end up being
- 1:22:21Greg programming it.
- 1:22:22I do too.
- 1:22:22I think that'd be a good guess.
- 1:22:28Who pulls the ball?
- 1:22:29I don't think it really mattered.
- 1:22:32Right.
- 1:22:36Isn't Tyson married to Carolyn Prevost?
- 1:22:38No.
- 1:22:47Bring back the other announcer guy,
- 1:22:49Ben something.
- 1:22:51We did a special on that cross fat
- 1:22:52on the lunch show where we showed some
- 1:22:56old clips of Ben doing interviews after
- 1:22:59events.
- 1:23:00I missed that guy.
- 1:23:01Who was it?
- 1:23:05I knew you'd ask.
- 1:23:06So he was, he was never serious.
- 1:23:10Like he would ask questions after race
- 1:23:11and,
- 1:23:13Did you going faster help you win that
- 1:23:15race?
- 1:23:20What's your favorite Sesame Street
- 1:23:21character?
- 1:23:23Those are things he would,
- 1:23:24and it just was goofy and it was
- 1:23:27so different than the norm.
- 1:23:29It was back when CrossFit didn't take
- 1:23:31itself so seriously.
- 1:23:41Oh yeah.
- 1:23:42Why'd you mess that one up so bad?
- 1:23:47But he had that,
- 1:23:48he had that demeanor where I told this
- 1:23:52story.
- 1:23:53I was working regionals.
- 1:23:54It was my first ever gig of volunteering.
- 1:23:57And I was the credential guy coming in.
- 1:24:00Kiki Dixon walked in.
- 1:24:02I was brand new.
- 1:24:03I didn't know who she was and she
- 1:24:05wasn't on the list.
- 1:24:07So I'm like, I'm sorry.
- 1:24:08I can't let you in.
- 1:24:09And she's like, well,
- 1:24:10don't you know who I am?
- 1:24:11I'm like, I don't.
- 1:24:13I'm sorry.
- 1:24:14And Ben is behind her,
- 1:24:17and he's throwing a fit.
- 1:24:18He better know who I am when I
- 1:24:20get up there.
- 1:24:21And he's throwing his bag down and
- 1:24:24whipping all this stuff around.
- 1:24:25And then I ended up having lunch with
- 1:24:29him,
- 1:24:30and he is just one of the naturally
- 1:24:32funniest guys I've ever met.
- 1:24:37he just took this situation where it
- 1:24:39looked like Kiki was getting pissed and
- 1:24:41like added all this levity to the whole
- 1:24:44thing.
- 1:24:45And, and it was just great.
- 1:24:56I don't think Greg needs to pull the
- 1:24:57balls.
- 1:24:58I don't really,
- 1:25:00I don't think that's that dramatic, right?
- 1:25:03It's the reading of what's on the ball.
- 1:25:05That's the dramatic part.
- 1:25:07How it gets from the hopper to the
- 1:25:10announcement, I don't care.
- 1:25:16I did have someone this week on the
- 1:25:17lunch show say,
- 1:25:18Greg hasn't programmed in so long he
- 1:25:20wouldn't be able to do it.
- 1:25:23I do think he'd need help with time
- 1:25:25caps, time domains, some of that stuff,
- 1:25:30because he doesn't know any of these
- 1:25:31athletes.
- 1:25:31I think no matter who does it,
- 1:25:34I think it's going to be collaborative.
- 1:25:37First of all, they need to be,
- 1:25:39if it isn't already clear what,
- 1:25:41if all the workouts aren't out,
- 1:25:44that info needs to be shared.
- 1:25:48Yeah.
- 1:25:53So, all right.
- 1:25:56A couple quick hitters before we get out
- 1:25:57of here.
- 1:25:59Um, if you haven't seen, uh,
- 1:26:02Carolyn was letting me know Xenom is
- 1:26:04coming next weekend and proven sending a
- 1:26:08bunch of teams pairs.
- 1:26:12If you haven't seen it,
- 1:26:13we have Colton and Chris Ibarra.
- 1:26:16We have Cara and Olivia, Olivia.
- 1:26:21I think Carolyn and Lex should do it.
- 1:26:23I think they'd be an awesome team.
- 1:26:27I decided not to do the CNOM this
- 1:26:29time around.
- 1:26:31I messaged them.
- 1:26:34The games is just way too close.
- 1:26:37I've been competing too much,
- 1:26:39although I have an online qualifier for
- 1:26:41WFP that following week.
- 1:26:42But yeah, just too much traveling.
- 1:26:49I will do one.
- 1:26:50I will do one eventually, for sure.
- 1:26:57I just hope that the WFP qualifiers aren't
- 1:27:00as crazy as the Desert City.
- 1:27:04I didn't see the Desert City.
- 1:27:06Are they crazy?
- 1:27:08Yeah,
- 1:27:08we were talking about it in our chat
- 1:27:09with Lex.
- 1:27:11Six of them?
- 1:27:12And one of them's a five K row,
- 1:27:14like after a workout.
- 1:27:18It's a lot.
- 1:27:21I haven't looked at the weights.
- 1:27:23I think it's kind of heavy, too.
- 1:27:24It just seems kind of aggressive for an
- 1:27:26online.
- 1:27:27I think four would have sufficed.
- 1:27:31Far East is still the craziest.
- 1:27:35For a qualifier, this is pretty up there.
- 1:27:41CrossFit says, Carolyn, probably,
- 1:27:44I've been competing too much,
- 1:27:46also competing.
- 1:27:47Yeah.
- 1:27:53Not that my body can't, like,
- 1:27:55I'm not injured or anything.
- 1:27:57I just, like,
- 1:27:58the Games is in a month.
- 1:28:01Like, oh.
- 1:28:04It came by way faster than I thought.
- 1:28:05Normally, like,
- 1:28:06once my school year is done,
- 1:28:08I have about a month of training as
- 1:28:11a full-time athlete.
- 1:28:13And, like,
- 1:28:13I finish school on Friday this week,
- 1:28:15and then I leave for California on
- 1:28:16Saturday.
- 1:28:17But, like, it's, like, three weeks later.
- 1:28:19It's already there.
- 1:28:21Yeah,
- 1:28:21I don't like that they moved it up.
- 1:28:23I'm not a fan of this time frame
- 1:28:24at all.
- 1:28:25No,
- 1:28:25I would have preferred a little bit later,
- 1:28:28like two weeks later at least.
- 1:28:31Yeah,
- 1:28:31I think they moved it into the same
- 1:28:33weekend as an F-one race.
- 1:28:34Now I don't know what to do.
- 1:28:36I'm just kidding.
- 1:28:40Yeah,
- 1:28:40I need to talk my wife into going
- 1:28:46and getting there.
- 1:28:48I'm just bummed that like,
- 1:28:49I can't go watch you two for most
- 1:28:52of the week.
- 1:28:54Cause I just,
- 1:28:54I didn't know you guys were going to
- 1:28:56start so early.
- 1:28:59Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
- 1:29:01How many events do you think we're going
- 1:29:02to have?
- 1:29:02They said,
- 1:29:03they sent us an email last week that
- 1:29:06they'll start releasing it.
- 1:29:07I think on June or July six.
- 1:29:10Yes.
- 1:29:11The workouts.
- 1:29:11Do you think we'll get all of them
- 1:29:12prior?
- 1:29:13No.
- 1:29:18That's what I'm trying to talk her into
- 1:29:19going, Mark.
- 1:29:21How many events do you think we're going
- 1:29:22to have, Jamie?
- 1:29:25Seven, maybe.
- 1:29:26I had it at seven.
- 1:29:31And I think seven.
- 1:29:32I don't know.
- 1:29:33Yeah,
- 1:29:34I think they'll do seven because they
- 1:29:37lowered the number of athletes per field.
- 1:29:40So I think hopefully they figured it out
- 1:29:42and can manage it.
- 1:29:44Seven with a cut or no cut?
- 1:29:48I think no cut.
- 1:29:55I think because I think they have the
- 1:29:56numbers right.
- 1:29:58I think they, I just think,
- 1:29:59I don't think you need to be cutting
- 1:30:01it.
- 1:30:03What I hate about the cut is it
- 1:30:04made the last event less relevant.
- 1:30:08No more relevant.
- 1:30:11Well, they didn't change the scoring.
- 1:30:13Yeah, they did.
- 1:30:14No.
- 1:30:15The person who got fifteenth got fifteenth
- 1:30:17points instead of last points.
- 1:30:19And that's a problem.
- 1:30:22But it's also a problem the other way
- 1:30:23if you change the scoring and now that
- 1:30:25workout is worth like double,
- 1:30:27triple points.
- 1:30:30But yeah, hopefully no cuts.
- 1:30:32Hopefully lots of events and they're fun
- 1:30:34and not all single modalities.
- 1:30:36Dave said no cuts for the elites.
- 1:30:40That's the way it should be.
- 1:30:41You've
- 1:30:43Every test matters equally.
- 1:30:45Like I'm still not a fan of fifty
- 1:30:47point events.
- 1:30:47Like like if it's a sprint to me
- 1:30:50should not be a fifty points.
- 1:30:51Like I don't care if it's a few
- 1:30:52seconds.
- 1:30:52It's as relevant to me as a ten
- 1:30:54K run.
- 1:30:56If you're a test,
- 1:30:56you run fast when you run long and
- 1:30:58fast.
- 1:30:59Like it's it's as important.
- 1:31:01Why is it only worth fifty points?
- 1:31:03Because it's not damaging your body the
- 1:31:04same way.
- 1:31:04It's a different it's a if it's a
- 1:31:06relevant test.
- 1:31:08Hundred points.
- 1:31:10Or don't work with twenty events.
- 1:31:11Yeah, right.
- 1:31:14Yeah, I'm sure they'll do.
- 1:31:17I think they are kind of anticipating some
- 1:31:19of that possibly so.
- 1:31:21Wasn't last year like the first time ever
- 1:31:23there were no withdrawals?
- 1:31:25Because it was all indoor.
- 1:31:34We're not scored on time or physical
- 1:31:35impact.
- 1:31:36It's an equal data point.
- 1:31:44Yeah.
- 1:31:44All right, guys.
- 1:31:46It's been fun.
- 1:31:48Gosh, I forgot.
- 1:31:50Third Z, ten hours of sleep last night.
- 1:31:52I got ten hours.
- 1:31:54Solid.
- 1:31:55I've been work.
- 1:31:56I tamped dirt this weekend.
- 1:31:58If you've never done that, it is awful.
- 1:32:02It is maybe the best CrossFit workout I've
- 1:32:04ever done.
- 1:32:07My grip was shot.
- 1:32:10And I hit my toe with a tamper
- 1:32:12only twice.
- 1:32:14But I got ten hours of sleep last
- 1:32:15night because I took my Thursday and you
- 1:32:17can get yours for fifteen percent off at
- 1:32:20Thursday dot com backslash Jazzy.
- 1:32:22That's code Jazzy at checkout to get
- 1:32:25fifteen percent off.
- 1:32:27With that.
- 1:32:29Happy Father's Day.
- 1:32:30Yes.
- 1:32:30Happy Father's Day.
- 1:32:32Happy.
- 1:32:32If you missed the opening of the show.
- 1:32:35I'm going to play the theme song one
- 1:32:36more time as we go out with that.
- 1:32:39I hope everybody has a great rest of
- 1:32:41your little bit of weekend left and great
- 1:32:44week coming up.
- 1:32:45We'll talk to you soon.

- 1:33:05keeps the balance precise.
- 1:33:07And Jamie's in the house,
- 1:33:08the engine full of grit.
- 1:33:10Never backing down,
- 1:33:12doesn't know the words.
- 1:33:13When together they bring the fire,
- 1:33:15never say never.
- 1:33:17So buckle up friends,
- 1:33:19it's burpees forever.
- 1:33:20Welcome to Sunday night.
