  What's going on, everybody?
• 0:02
  Welcome to Lunch with the Clydesdale.
• 0:05
  Sorry,
• 0:05
  having some technical difficulties today,
• 0:07
  so no big open.
• 0:10
  But here we are.
• 0:11
  And we've got Trent Olive.
• 0:13
  We've got NAI getting pretty jazzed.
• 0:18
  Amanda.
• 0:19
  Meredith.
• 0:21
  Who let the cats out?
• 0:22
  A little bit of Craig.
• 0:24
  What's going on, guys?
• 0:25
  What is going on?
• 0:31
  I have not seen the new video yet.
• 0:34
  I just got out of a meeting,
• 0:36
  but I did see a pop-up.
• 0:37
  I cannot wait to watch it.
• 0:39
  I think we're on the same
• 0:42
  wavelength a little bit today.
• 0:43
  We'll see what happens.
• 0:47
  We got Howie in the house.
• 0:48
  We got Jody, Annie Shoup, Jar Jar, Corey,
• 0:55
  Eric, Vicky, Kenneth.
• 0:57
  Whoa, we are packing them in today.
• 1:01
  Packing them in.
• 1:03
  All right.
• 1:07
  What field do you work in, Scott?
• 1:08
  So I work for the state of
• 1:10
  Ohio and I work in I.T.
• 1:15
  right now.
• 1:16
  It's really just where I
• 1:17
  want to be to ride out my career.
• 1:20
  I did a lot of I was the head trainer.
• 1:23
  for a department with the
• 1:24
  state of Ohio and I taught
• 1:26
  people how to train, how to present.
• 1:30
  Um,
• 1:30
  that's what I did for most of my career.
• 1:33
  Um,
• 1:33
  and I also kind of ran different
• 1:35
  programs.
• 1:36
  I had like two hats,
• 1:37
  but now I'm just kind of riding it out,
• 1:39
  doing testing of systems, um,
• 1:42
  and just enjoying, uh,
• 1:44
  being a mushroom in the corner.
• 1:48
  So, um, so what's going on everybody?
• 1:54
  It's been a hectic couple of days for me.
• 1:57
  Um,
• 1:58
  when you say what you feel on the
• 2:00
  internet, people like to, uh,
• 2:02
  come back and, um, argue with you.
• 2:07
  And we're going to get into
• 2:08
  that a little bit.
• 2:10
  Um,
• 2:10
  if you have asked me to sign up for the
• 2:12
  fantasy football league,
• 2:13
  I have sent out links to everybody.
• 2:15
  I think if I haven't,
• 2:17
  I have responded to you on
• 2:19
  either YouTube or Instagram.
• 2:21
  Um,
• 2:22
  Make sure you get signed up.
• 2:23
  The draft will be tomorrow
• 2:25
  night at eight o'clock Eastern time.
• 2:29
  We'll draft teams.
• 2:29
  If you can't be there, you can auto draft.
• 2:32
  Just click the button so it
• 2:33
  doesn't take a lot of time
• 2:34
  to go through those.
• 2:37
  Other than that, that's all set up.
• 2:41
  I don't know if you guys have noticed,
• 2:43
  but Rogue has sent out
• 2:45
  their first announcement of
• 2:48
  an invite to the Rogue Invitational.
• 2:50
  That is Gracie Walton.
• 2:51
  That was their first announcement today.
• 2:56
  So they are beginning the
• 2:58
  invite announcements out on
• 3:03
  Instagram right now.
• 3:05
  So, wow, lots of people in today.
• 3:09
  So yesterday...
• 3:12
  I made a comment that I felt
• 3:16
  like the WFP was missing the storyline.
• 3:19
  I got a lot of heat for that,
• 3:22
  but so be it.
• 3:25
  That is what it is.
• 3:27
  This is what I'm going to say.
• 3:29
  I do research before I come on the show.
• 3:31
  I look and everybody's
• 3:33
  trying to convince me that
• 3:34
  they've said this storyline
• 3:35
  and they have not.
• 3:36
  They keep saying race to Copenhagen,
• 3:39
  race to Copenhagen.
• 3:40
  What the hell does race to
• 3:41
  Copenhagen mean?
• 3:42
  If you do not understand the
• 3:45
  season structure of what the WFP is.
• 3:48
  So I went to their website
• 3:51
  and this is their season leaderboard.
• 3:55
  Here it is.
• 3:55
  It has still not been
• 3:57
  updated with tour stop two.
• 4:00
  So here you are.
• 4:03
  This is still Austin
• 4:04
  Hatfield in the lead
• 4:05
  because he won tour stop one.
• 4:08
  And then this is their leaderboard,
• 4:10
  but it's just a spreadsheet.
• 4:12
  This is all men.
• 4:14
  There's no way to flip to anything.
• 4:16
  Oh,
• 4:16
  and then you scroll down to fifty and
• 4:18
  then the women start just
• 4:20
  in the middle of this spreadsheet.
• 4:23
  And if this is your idea of
• 4:26
  telling a story.
• 4:28
  OK.
• 4:30
  you got me this is such a
• 4:32
  fascinating way to tell a
• 4:33
  story I couldn't even find
• 4:36
  the women until I scrolled
• 4:37
  around for a while um so
• 4:42
  anyway that is their season
• 4:47
  leaderboard this is it
• 4:48
  right here yesterday my
• 4:52
  stats and info person holly is amazing
• 4:56
  She started working on the
• 4:57
  actual storyline and we
• 5:03
  came up with something.
• 5:08
  So I'm going to share that
• 5:09
  screen if I can here.
• 5:16
  Let's go with this one.
• 5:18
  Okay.
• 5:19
  So I know this is small.
• 5:21
  I'm going to try to blow this up.
• 5:24
  this is after tour stop two
• 5:26
  whoops let's try to drag
• 5:29
  this down okay so here we
• 5:31
  have the dark green is tour
• 5:34
  stop one points
• 5:36
  light green is tour stop two
• 5:38
  points together is the
• 5:40
  total points on the end
• 5:42
  here we can see that james
• 5:43
  sprague is in the lead
• 5:45
  roman krennikoff is in
• 5:46
  second austin hatfield is
• 5:47
  in third going into the
• 5:49
  last um going into the last
• 5:51
  event but where I find the
• 5:54
  real intrigue is is at this
• 5:56
  red line because if you
• 5:59
  finish above this red line
• 6:01
  you get the pro card for
• 6:03
  next year and the automatic salary
• 6:07
  If you finish below the red line,
• 6:09
  then you either lose your
• 6:11
  pro card from this year or
• 6:17
  you have missed out on
• 6:18
  trying to obtain that.
• 6:22
  So what I find fascinating
• 6:24
  and where I think the storyline is,
• 6:26
  is that Travis Mayer,
• 6:29
  with anybody with an asterisk,
• 6:31
  is a pro card member currently.
• 6:34
  So right now, Travis Mayer, Yonikoski, BKG,
• 6:38
  Jeff Adler sit outside the top twenty.
• 6:44
  And therefore,
• 6:45
  they could lose their pro
• 6:47
  card without a good
• 6:49
  performance in Copenhagen.
• 6:51
  You have people like Luka
• 6:53
  Djokic and Victor Hoffer
• 6:55
  sitting right inside the line that could
• 7:00
  could be losing theirs with
• 7:01
  a bad performance.
• 7:04
  Right?
• 7:05
  But then you look all the
• 7:06
  way up here and you see
• 7:07
  people like Colton Mertens
• 7:09
  firmly that didn't get a
• 7:12
  pro card that's sitting in
• 7:14
  a pro card spot.
• 7:17
  Enola Kai firmly in.
• 7:20
  That's the storyline, people.
• 7:23
  That's what everybody gets.
• 7:24
  That's what's so easy to
• 7:26
  understand if you just make
• 7:28
  a good picture and take the
• 7:29
  time to do it.
• 7:32
  Holly did this.
• 7:34
  It's so easy.
• 7:36
  Now,
• 7:36
  where we get a little bit confused is
• 7:38
  on the women's side,
• 7:39
  and I'm going to share that
• 7:40
  screen as well.
• 7:44
  I think this is it.
• 7:46
  Yeah, here we go.
• 7:49
  on the women's side what we
• 7:50
  have here is if you go out
• 7:53
  to um if you go out to
• 7:57
  competition corner
• 7:59
  currently uh alexis raptus
• 8:03
  maddie sturt and um yeah
• 8:10
  What's her name?
• 8:11
  Jamie Simmons do not have a rank at all.
• 8:15
  So we could not give them
• 8:16
  points because we don't
• 8:17
  know what their rank is.
• 8:19
  That has not been updated.
• 8:22
  But again, the fascinating piece with this,
• 8:25
  let's look at the red line first.
• 8:27
  You have Emily Rolfe on the
• 8:28
  outside looking in,
• 8:29
  Paige Semenza on the outside looking in,
• 8:32
  Alex Gazan on the outside looking in.
• 8:34
  Now, if we did a simulation,
• 8:38
  if Raptors and Sturt get some points,
• 8:40
  they would be on the other
• 8:42
  side of the red line.
• 8:44
  Haley Adams,
• 8:45
  Emma McQuaid have not even competed yet,
• 8:47
  so they're on the outside looking in.
• 8:49
  Those are five pro cards on the outside.
• 8:56
  Looking on the inside,
• 8:59
  you have really some people
• 9:02
  who have solidified some spots,
• 9:04
  and Halpin is saying that
• 9:06
  Those have been updated.
• 9:08
  It was not updated before I
• 9:09
  started work today,
• 9:10
  so I have not been able to
• 9:12
  update our spreadsheet.
• 9:13
  I'll get that done today.
• 9:18
  So with adding those points in,
• 9:21
  Ellen Wilkinson and Hannah
• 9:22
  Black move outside the red line for sure.
• 9:27
  But I'll have Holly update
• 9:32
  that if their rankings are
• 9:34
  updated on Competition Corner.
• 9:37
  So, but then you go to the top.
• 9:40
  Here are your top three
• 9:41
  going into the final event.
• 9:43
  Amy Kringle sits in the lead.
• 9:45
  That's a story.
• 9:47
  Lucy Campbell, Laura Horvath.
• 9:50
  That's a great top five to
• 9:52
  be talking about going into
• 9:53
  the final event.
• 9:57
  So I just find this,
• 10:00
  this is the fascinating storyline,
• 10:02
  in my opinion, and has not been told.
• 10:05
  All that we see are race for Copenhagen.
• 10:08
  Nobody knows what that means
• 10:09
  without this key component
• 10:11
  to the storyline.
• 10:13
  Unless you understand that
• 10:15
  these are the people trying
• 10:16
  to win it and these are the
• 10:17
  people trying to get a pro
• 10:18
  card or lose a pro card, you don't get,
• 10:22
  you don't understand the
• 10:24
  rest of the story.
• 10:25
  You can say race to
• 10:26
  Copenhagen all you want,
• 10:29
  but that doesn't say anything.
• 10:31
  And when you go out to their Instagram,
• 10:38
  we have the challenger
• 10:39
  athletes qualified for Copenhagen.
• 10:41
  And over here on the left, on the caption,
• 10:44
  it says,
• 10:45
  here are the challenger athletes
• 10:46
  moving on to the finals in
• 10:48
  Copenhagen to chase the pro
• 10:50
  card for the next season.
• 10:53
  Right, to chase a pro card.
• 10:54
  But we don't know where they stand.
• 10:56
  Do they have a realistic shot?
• 10:58
  Are they already in position to get one?
• 11:01
  We don't know any of those
• 11:02
  details by just saying, hey,
• 11:05
  these are the ten guys that got in.
• 11:08
  Hey,
• 11:09
  these are the eleven women that got in.
• 11:14
  When I watch sports all the time,
• 11:18
  these are the types of
• 11:20
  things that sports do to
• 11:22
  get people to talk about
• 11:23
  them continually throughout the season.
• 11:27
  And all I was saying
• 11:28
  yesterday was this is the key component,
• 11:31
  in my opinion,
• 11:33
  that is missing from
• 11:35
  explaining what your sport
• 11:36
  is and how you're doing the point system.
• 11:44
  And here, this is the evidence.
• 11:46
  Yesterday in my comment section,
• 11:48
  I had a person saying the
• 11:50
  point system is easy to understand.
• 11:51
  It's just how like Rogue
• 11:53
  ranks their athletes to do
• 11:55
  the invitations for the invitational.
• 11:57
  No, it's not.
• 11:59
  That is a qualifier.
• 12:00
  That is looking at a history
• 12:02
  of events and doing points.
• 12:05
  This is you earn the points
• 12:06
  throughout the season to
• 12:08
  earn a championship or to
• 12:10
  earn a pro card.
• 12:11
  It's different.
• 12:15
  There is so much confusion,
• 12:17
  even with your supporters,
• 12:20
  as they're demonstrating in
• 12:21
  my comment section,
• 12:23
  that they don't even know
• 12:24
  what the objective is of this season.
• 12:34
  And what is the WFP's
• 12:36
  response to when I say this?
• 12:39
  And here's where I'm going to get petty.
• 12:42
  Here is where I'm going to get petty.
• 12:44
  going to wait well before I
• 12:45
  get petty one more example
• 12:47
  I watch college football
• 12:48
  this season alabama gets
• 12:50
  upset nobody expected
• 12:52
  alabama to get upset what
• 12:54
  does get up an espn show on
• 12:56
  monday morning talk about
• 12:57
  how does this affect the
• 12:58
  playoff the playoff doesn't
• 13:00
  even start for four months
• 13:02
  it starts in december and
• 13:05
  they're talking about how a
• 13:06
  loss in august affects december
• 13:10
  Yet the WFP,
• 13:11
  when I talk about the storyline,
• 13:13
  it's too early.
• 13:14
  We're not there yet.
• 13:15
  BS.
• 13:18
  You find every reason to get
• 13:20
  people to talk about your final.
• 13:22
  Every reason.
• 13:27
  But all I get is excuses.
• 13:31
  I get excuses it's too early.
• 13:33
  I get excuses that I don't understand.
• 13:36
  I get people...
• 13:39
  calling me names because I
• 13:41
  don't know what I'm talking about.
• 13:46
  It's such bullshit.
• 13:49
  So here's where the petty comes in.
• 13:52
  And I'm like,
• 13:53
  I've bit my tongue for years.
• 13:55
  Every time,
• 13:57
  every time I talk about the WFP
• 14:01
  in the last few months,
• 14:03
  Patrick Clark feels the
• 14:04
  need to correct me.
• 14:07
  To find something I said,
• 14:08
  either metaphorically or to
• 14:11
  try to explain what their thing is,
• 14:14
  he has to come in and correct me.
• 14:16
  He has to call me names.
• 14:18
  He has to do all this stuff
• 14:19
  and bait me into an argument.
• 14:24
  I'm done with it.
• 14:25
  I'm done being baited in.
• 14:26
  I'm not arguing anymore.
• 14:30
  Yesterday I said that I
• 14:32
  described what the pro card
• 14:36
  was as the free money, as a metaphor.
• 14:40
  I didn't say that the
• 14:42
  athletes didn't work for it
• 14:43
  or didn't deserve it.
• 14:47
  In fact,
• 14:47
  I said the exact opposite when
• 14:48
  this whole thing started up.
• 14:50
  I said that the athletes
• 14:53
  deserve more opportunity
• 14:55
  and athletes deserve to be paid.
• 15:00
  And yes, I describe the pot as free money,
• 15:03
  as a metaphor.
• 15:06
  But Patrick has to jump into
• 15:07
  my comments and say that free money,
• 15:10
  that I'm disrespecting all the athletes.
• 15:14
  You missed the complete
• 15:15
  point of my monologue yesterday,
• 15:18
  was that the storylines
• 15:20
  aren't being told correctly.
• 15:29
  I'm not even, see, he's baiting me again.
• 15:33
  I never said they didn't deserve it.
• 15:35
  I never said they didn't do anything.
• 15:36
  I said they chose the first
• 15:37
  twenty is what I said.
• 15:40
  They chose the first twenty.
• 15:42
  And there are people that
• 15:42
  believe that they said that
• 15:48
  they picked the wrong twenty.
• 15:49
  There are people that
• 15:50
  believe they picked the wrong twenty.
• 15:53
  That is not saying they
• 15:54
  don't deserve it or they didn't earn it.
• 15:59
  Here's the thing.
• 16:01
  Here's the thing.
• 16:03
  The WFP would rather come
• 16:04
  into people's comments or
• 16:06
  come onto their Instagram
• 16:08
  and argue with them over
• 16:10
  stupid points about word
• 16:11
  usage than to look at
• 16:13
  themselves in the mirror
• 16:15
  and correct what they've done wrong.
• 16:20
  Since this has been going on,
• 16:22
  I've said two negative things publicly,
• 16:24
  that they promised us better...
• 16:27
  They promised us more
• 16:28
  creative content about athletes.
• 16:31
  And they don't tell the right storyline.
• 16:34
  Those are the two things.
• 16:36
  Yet they come to me.
• 16:38
  They come and argue with me,
• 16:39
  who has no impact whether
• 16:41
  they succeed or not.
• 16:45
  Come to me and want to argue
• 16:46
  with me in the comments.
• 16:51
  They call me crazy.
• 16:52
  I'm a millennial because I'm not patient.
• 16:55
  I need to wait for their creativity.
• 16:57
  I need to wait for their storylines.
• 16:59
  Just be patient.
• 17:01
  And when I say, why would I be patient?
• 17:04
  The Titanic's already sinking.
• 17:07
  Why should I be patient?
• 17:09
  Building a rescue raft while
• 17:11
  you're underwater does no good.
• 17:19
  It is ridiculous.
• 17:23
  to call me names like a millennial,
• 17:25
  to say that I'm acting like a victim.
• 17:28
  I'm not acting like a victim.
• 17:33
  If anybody's acting like a victim,
• 17:34
  it's the WFP.
• 17:36
  You and your hubris think
• 17:38
  that you're doing everything great.
• 17:40
  Take a look back at last weekend.
• 17:42
  We made a conscious effort
• 17:44
  Sunday night not to be so
• 17:45
  negative because it was
• 17:47
  just getting slammed all weekend.
• 17:49
  We were looking for positives.
• 17:51
  Or if there was criticism,
• 17:54
  what constructively could
• 17:55
  be done different?
• 17:57
  And no, you can't look in the mirror.
• 17:59
  You can't take any of that
• 18:01
  as constructive.
• 18:02
  You have to just start
• 18:03
  bitching at people and
• 18:04
  going into their comments
• 18:05
  and calling them names.
• 18:08
  It's utterly ridiculous.
• 18:11
  Wasting all of that time
• 18:13
  when you could be back doing better,
• 18:16
  coming into everybody's comments,
• 18:18
  acting like you know
• 18:19
  everything in the world.
• 18:24
  You don't know everything.
• 18:26
  You're not the smartest
• 18:27
  people in the world.
• 18:29
  Other people can have
• 18:30
  opinions that matter.
• 18:34
  And you diving into every
• 18:36
  freaking comment to do that.
• 18:40
  Patrick,
• 18:41
  I'm not lying about the name calling.
• 18:42
  You can go back to my Instagram.
• 18:44
  I haven't deleted a damn thing.
• 18:46
  All of your rants are on there.
• 18:47
  You called me a millennial.
• 18:49
  Yesterday in the YouTube comments,
• 18:51
  you called me that I was
• 18:52
  acting like the victim.
• 18:54
  You said,
• 18:55
  I don't know what I'm talking about,
• 18:57
  that I'm absolutely wrong.
• 19:00
  Go look.
• 19:00
  It's all there.
• 19:01
  I'm not going to pull it up
• 19:03
  because I'm not going to be that petty.
• 19:05
  But it's all there.
• 19:05
  I've left it all there.
• 19:07
  Unless you go delete it,
• 19:08
  it's all sitting out there
• 19:09
  for the public to read.
• 19:13
  Calling a fifty five year
• 19:14
  old man a millennial is name calling.
• 19:17
  You jackass.
• 19:18
  There, I'll call you a name.
• 19:25
  It's ridiculous.
• 19:29
  Here you are a ship sinking
• 19:33
  in the ocean and you got to
• 19:35
  come to a guy with twenty
• 19:37
  nine hundred subscribers
• 19:39
  and come at him because
• 19:41
  that's going to make a
• 19:42
  difference in your success.
• 19:50
  Ridiculous.
• 19:54
  Good God.
• 20:01
  All right.
• 20:01
  I guess that riff is over.
• 20:06
  I was going to talk today
• 20:07
  about what I thought the
• 20:09
  WFP could do to maybe save itself,
• 20:12
  but who the hell knows?
• 20:13
  I didn't care anymore.
• 20:15
  Their priorities are so out of whack,
• 20:20
  I don't even think they know.
• 20:31
  Yeah, my heart rate's up too, Corey.
• 20:38
  I'm just,
• 20:42
  their time management and trying
• 20:44
  to tell other people what
• 20:45
  they do is wrong when
• 20:48
  they're sitting on a
• 20:49
  sinking ship is just utterly ridiculous.
• 21:03
  Utterly ridiculous.
• 21:11
  In Hiller's video,
• 21:12
  I saw his Instagram post
• 21:15
  about the fact that the
• 21:20
  athletes are actually not
• 21:21
  gaining any popularity or
• 21:23
  any social media traction
• 21:25
  during the WFP tour stops
• 21:28
  as compared to the CrossFit Games.
• 21:30
  I thought that was a pretty
• 21:32
  eloquent way of putting things.
• 21:34
  Here's my thing.
• 21:36
  someone needs to take a hard
• 21:37
  look at the WFP if you ever
• 21:39
  want to succeed and look at
• 21:40
  what you can do better.
• 21:42
  And I think if, if the rumors are true,
• 21:44
  if the rumors are true and
• 21:46
  you're trying to go exclusive,
• 21:48
  I think that's the biggest
• 21:49
  mistake you're going to
• 21:49
  make because then you're
• 21:51
  just going to alienate yourself more.
• 21:53
  You're going to create a
• 21:54
  bigger divide and creating
• 21:56
  a bigger divide is going to
• 21:57
  just sink the ship completely.
• 22:04
  The only way is to make a better product,
• 22:07
  entice the athletes to come
• 22:08
  over for the right reasons.
• 22:12
  And that's the only way
• 22:13
  you're going to have a shot
• 22:14
  in this whole thing.
• 22:25
  Guaranteed money is the only
• 22:26
  way most of these athletes
• 22:28
  will sign up again,
• 22:29
  except for the one still holding on.
• 22:32
  and holding out.
• 22:33
  Sure.
• 22:34
  I agree with you.
• 22:40
  You just said it.
• 22:41
  They don't know.
• 22:41
  I guarantee the whole thing
• 22:42
  changes next year.
• 22:44
  With regards to the contracts,
• 22:46
  this is why they are
• 22:46
  confusing and hiding.
• 22:48
  Well, here's what's going to happen.
• 22:49
  If they do go exclusive,
• 22:51
  there are going to be
• 22:52
  people that say yes and
• 22:53
  people that say no.
• 22:54
  And when that happens,
• 22:55
  they're going to have to
• 22:56
  renegotiate who the twenty
• 22:57
  are that have the contracts.
• 22:59
  Then it's just going to
• 23:00
  create more confusion and
• 23:01
  it's going to sink the league completely.
• 23:05
  That's what's going to happen.
• 23:19
  I've heard it a couple times
• 23:20
  from different people.
• 23:22
  I heard it at the age group games.
• 23:24
  I've heard it a couple times.
• 23:26
  I've heard some of the
• 23:27
  athletes at the age group
• 23:29
  heard that they were going
• 23:30
  to try to add the age
• 23:33
  groups into the mix next year.
• 23:35
  Those are rumors we heard at
• 23:36
  the age group games.
• 23:38
  I have said wholeheartedly
• 23:40
  that those were just rumors,
• 23:42
  and I spoke to them as such.
• 23:56
  what do you think the odds
• 23:57
  are that the qualifications
• 23:58
  change from pro card
• 23:59
  between the end of this
• 24:01
  season and the start of next?
• 24:03
  If it does, I think that's,
• 24:04
  that's a nail in the coffin.
• 24:23
  Yeah.
• 24:31
  See, I would say, Denise,
• 24:32
  that we've had equipment
• 24:34
  issues in CrossFit and the WFP.
• 24:37
  But see,
• 24:37
  then I feel like I'm defending
• 24:39
  these people who have just come after me.
• 24:42
  At every event that I've been to,
• 24:44
  the last people that touch
• 24:45
  the adjustments on a
• 24:46
  machine are the athletes.
• 24:50
  If Austin put that foot
• 24:52
  pedal in the wrong place, that's on him.
• 24:56
  I don't have video to back that up.
• 24:58
  I don't know what was discovered in that,
• 25:01
  but my immediate thought
• 25:06
  was when I saw that it was
• 25:07
  just sitting on top of the
• 25:09
  lock is that someone
• 25:12
  adjusted it for their
• 25:13
  height and did not lock it in.
• 25:32
  That's the only reason I can
• 25:33
  imagine they aren't pushing
• 25:34
  the qualifying for the
• 25:35
  twenty twenty six pro card.
• 25:37
  They know something is going to change.
• 25:41
  Good luck to that.
• 25:48
  There you go back, back, kill Taylor.
• 25:51
  There you go.
• 25:52
  His equipment doesn't break
• 25:53
  every Saturday.
• 25:54
  And when you do it in your own gym,
• 25:55
  you're responsible for your own stuff.
• 25:59
  There you go.
• 25:59
  Don't have to worry about
• 26:00
  the equipment issues there.
• 26:15
  That's what I thought, Megan.
• 26:16
  I've been fair in my comments to the WFP,
• 26:19
  but they don't think so apparently.
• 26:30
  Trish, it's trash.
• 26:31
  I try to stay fair, but it's trash.
• 26:51
  uh trying to keep up with
• 26:52
  these comments not
• 27:02
  broadcasting on youtube um
• 27:05
  will be regarded as one of
• 27:07
  many bad decisions in
• 27:08
  post-mortem clock so here's
• 27:10
  what you know before
• 27:12
  yesterday um this was my thought on that
• 27:22
  I think that they're trying
• 27:24
  to get onto a TV streaming
• 27:28
  service like Red Bull TV.
• 27:30
  And they can't show their
• 27:33
  effectiveness with YouTube numbers.
• 27:35
  They have to show it as an independent.
• 27:38
  And if they could get a
• 27:39
  partnership like that,
• 27:40
  that would be a big feather in their cap.
• 27:43
  I would have defended that
• 27:45
  in some sort of way.
• 27:48
  I think that's what they're trying to do.
• 27:52
  And when people copy it and
• 27:54
  move it over to YouTube and
• 27:56
  they lose their numbers to YouTube,
• 27:58
  they can't justify what
• 27:59
  numbers they have to a streaming service.
• 28:23
  Scott, I remember a few months back,
• 28:24
  you're being so positive and pro WFP.
• 28:26
  I had to turn off podcast.
• 28:28
  You have been more than fair.
• 28:31
  I wanted to give them a shot.
• 28:32
  I thought that I wanted to
• 28:34
  see what a true season
• 28:36
  structure would look like
• 28:38
  in a CrossFit setting.
• 28:40
  Could it work?
• 28:41
  Because CrossFit has not
• 28:43
  done a good job of coming
• 28:44
  up with a season that makes
• 28:46
  sense and is consistent, I believe.
• 29:03
  I really, I mean, that may be it, Ryan,
• 29:06
  that they're trying to
• 29:07
  manipulate the YouTube
• 29:08
  numbers or the numbers.
• 29:10
  I truly think they're trying
• 29:11
  to prove to people that
• 29:12
  they are a viable option
• 29:14
  for a streaming service.
• 29:16
  I really think that's what's
• 29:18
  all behind this.
• 29:19
  And they probably can't say
• 29:21
  that because they're in
• 29:22
  negotiations with said
• 29:23
  streaming service and can't
• 29:26
  let that cat out of the bag.
• 29:51
  scott isn't even couching it
• 29:52
  as wfp versus crossfit I I
• 29:56
  just wanted to see if a
• 29:57
  season structure would work
• 30:00
  that was consistent but the
• 30:02
  execution has just been poor um
• 30:22
  Thanks Kenneth.
• 30:23
  No one wanted to give WFP a
• 30:24
  chance more than Scott in the beginning.
• 30:27
  I just wanted to see,
• 30:28
  I wanted to see if it could work.
• 30:29
  That's all.
• 30:41
  Do you think they can still save it,
• 30:42
  Scott?
• 30:43
  What could they do to change
• 30:44
  your current viewpoint?
• 30:50
  I don't know.
• 30:51
  I don't know if they can save it or not.
• 30:55
  I think if they get onto a
• 30:56
  streaming service that helps them,
• 30:58
  that's a partnership that
• 30:59
  CrossFit has never gotten into,
• 31:02
  except for they dove down
• 31:03
  it with DAZN a little bit
• 31:04
  here at the CrossFit Games.
• 31:06
  We don't know what that's
• 31:07
  going to look like in the future.
• 31:09
  Red Bull TV is way bigger than DAZN.
• 31:12
  It is a niche sport
• 31:14
  streaming service that
• 31:16
  allows you to broadcast what you do.
• 31:20
  That is their big hope, I'm sure,
• 31:22
  is getting that.
• 31:25
  I think they have to give up
• 31:26
  the affiliate aspect of it for now.
• 31:29
  I think they have to,
• 31:31
  I think they cannot go exclusivity.
• 31:34
  They just have to try to
• 31:35
  draw the people over.
• 31:37
  But I don't know.
• 31:39
  I think,
• 31:41
  I think the Titanic is halfway
• 31:43
  underwater and it would
• 31:45
  take a lot of bailing to get out of this.
• 31:54
  I think Siobhan's right.
• 31:56
  There's a catfish component
• 31:57
  that isn't sitting well with people.
• 31:59
  Exactly.
• 32:01
  You're told one thing and
• 32:02
  then another thing happens.
• 32:05
  And maybe it's because
• 32:06
  you're under... I don't know.
• 32:07
  Maybe some of it is because
• 32:09
  you're negotiating deals
• 32:10
  behind the scenes.
• 32:12
  You can't talk about it.
• 32:13
  But...
• 32:15
  the fact that no we're not
• 32:16
  competing with crossfit and
• 32:18
  then starting an affiliate
• 32:19
  thing is definitely a
• 32:21
  catfish one and there are
• 32:23
  so many more to go beyond
• 32:25
  that um when I first was
• 32:28
  supportive of the wp I just
• 32:29
  wanted to see a season
• 32:31
  structure and there wasn't
• 32:32
  supposed to be competition
• 32:34
  that all that has changed since then
• 32:56
  Kenneth DeLapp,
• 32:56
  we want to hang out in the
• 32:57
  chat while we watch.
• 32:58
  Community.
• 33:00
  Yeah, I get you lose that.
• 33:02
  I'm just saying what they're thinking.
• 33:04
  I'm not trying to say it's right,
• 33:05
  wrong or indifferent.
• 33:08
  It's just a different way of
• 33:09
  looking at things with a
• 33:11
  partnership with a bigger
• 33:12
  entity that can help
• 33:15
  promote and grow a sport.
• 33:18
  I don't think that I don't.
• 33:22
  It's just one way of going.
• 33:24
  I don't.
• 33:25
  And sometimes there's change,
• 33:28
  but you can't lie to the
• 33:30
  community about what you're
• 33:31
  doing and then expect them
• 33:34
  to follow along.
• 33:39
  I think it's bigger than not having a chat,
• 33:40
  Kenneth.
• 33:41
  I think it's what Savan said.
• 33:44
  You promised one thing,
• 33:46
  you went in another direction,
• 33:48
  and it seemed to be under
• 33:53
  the darkness of night that
• 33:54
  you went in the other directions.
• 33:57
  And so you've lost so many
• 33:59
  components of...
• 34:01
  um so many components of
• 34:04
  trust that then when you
• 34:06
  take away their way to chat
• 34:09
  with everybody now you've
• 34:11
  lost them again powerslap
• 34:25
  craig jones invitational youtube
• 34:41
  I don't disagree, though.
• 34:42
  They might get a European boost.
• 34:44
  I don't know if that's enough.
• 34:45
  At this point,
• 34:47
  I think they've lost so much trust.
• 34:49
  They'd almost have to bring
• 34:51
  in somebody else to run it
• 34:54
  and be the face of it to
• 34:56
  clear up all of that stuff.
• 35:09
  Clock, it can be both.
• 35:10
  Like as I showed with the graphic,
• 35:12
  that one graphic,
• 35:13
  you can tell both stories.
• 35:16
  I just don't know if there's time.
• 35:19
  So I'll pull that up one more time.
• 35:22
  With this graphic,
• 35:23
  I can show you that Kringle, Campbell,
• 35:26
  Horvath are top three for
• 35:28
  the season and they're
• 35:29
  fighting for the championship.
• 35:32
  And then I can go down to
• 35:33
  the red line and I can tell
• 35:35
  the story that Emily Rolfe
• 35:36
  is under the red line and
• 35:38
  will lose her pro card.
• 35:41
  And she's got to fight to get it back.
• 35:43
  Paige Semenza is way below the red line.
• 35:46
  She really needs to fight to get it back.
• 35:48
  There are storylines there,
• 35:50
  but none of this has been
• 35:51
  told before today.
• 36:06
  Huge events and organizations use YouTube.
• 36:09
  Yep.
• 36:10
  I think there are two ways to go about it.
• 36:14
  But I think that that's what
• 36:15
  they are banking on.
• 36:16
  I'm not saying that that's
• 36:17
  the way I would go.
• 36:18
  I think that is what they are banking on.
• 36:35
  Yeah.
• 36:40
  road to copenhagen is paved
• 36:41
  with good intentions yes
• 36:45
  the race to copenhagen
• 36:46
  though the race to
• 36:47
  copenhagen so anyway it's
• 37:06
  been a fun chat today
• 37:10
  fun chat I'm not getting
• 37:14
  baited in anymore though
• 37:15
  I'm telling you that um I'm
• 37:20
  done being baited in
• 37:23
  Heard it here first.
• 37:25
  All right.
• 37:25
  With that,
• 37:28
  I'm working on some age group
• 37:29
  stuff to get out.
• 37:32
  Got some stuff to put together.
• 37:35
  I'm on the road to recovery this week.
• 37:36
  So I'm going to try to do a
• 37:37
  lot of that this afternoon
• 37:39
  and into tomorrow.
• 37:41
  So hopefully get some stuff
• 37:42
  out and we'll be back again
• 37:44
  tomorrow at lunchtime.
• 37:46
  But right now I got another
• 37:48
  freaking meeting.
• 37:49
  So I got to get back to work
• 37:51
  and you knuckleheads need
• 37:52
  to get back to work too.
• 37:54
  Oh, look at that.
• 37:56
  Crash is five, but she's what?
• 38:01
  What?
• 38:01
  Oh my gosh.
• 38:05
  I quit Copenhagen.
• 38:06
  I can't watch or else I'll be triggered.
• 38:08
  Yeah.
• 38:10
  I used to be a school guy, man.
• 38:11
  So I'm good.
• 38:13
  As long as they don't go to Norway.
• 38:14
  All right.
• 38:15
  With that, we'll see you all tomorrow.
• 38:18
  Twelve fifteen.
• 38:21
  Bye, guys.
