  I like that.
• 1:01
  No,
• 1:01
  it's a good little run towards the end
• 1:03
  of it.
• 1:04
  Big fan.
• 1:07
  I wish people could see our dance party
• 1:10
  before we go live.
• 1:13
  It's a catchy song, man.
• 1:14
  It is a catchy song.
• 1:15
  It is, man.
• 1:16
  It is a catchy song.
• 1:17
  And I'm like, I'm grooving back and forth.
• 1:19
  You've got the hands going.
• 1:22
  You know, we're getting into it.
• 1:24
  And I wish there was a way you
• 1:27
  could show us while that's playing.
• 1:31
  I got my George Jefferson.
• 1:37
  Whole lot of that going on.
• 1:38
  And if you,
• 1:40
  if you're not old enough to understand the
• 1:41
  reference,
• 1:42
  not old enough to understand that
• 1:45
  reference, then I don't,
• 1:46
  I don't know what to do for you.
• 1:49
  Well,
• 1:49
  another thing that happened to me today is
• 1:51
  I have one o'clock meeting.
• 1:52
  So it's one of those days where you
• 1:55
  didn't get out and get it done.
• 1:57
  Yeah.
• 1:57
  And, uh, I had quarter to twelve.
• 2:00
  I was like, Oh shit.
• 2:02
  I have no time to eat lunch.
• 2:06
  So went over,
• 2:08
  grabbed a handful of beef jerky,
• 2:10
  put it in my pocket.
• 2:12
  Pocket jerky.
• 2:13
  All right.
• 2:14
  Jerky, man.
• 2:15
  And I'm sitting there thinking, you know,
• 2:19
  the grandma's with the butterscotches,
• 2:22
  you know, in church and stuff.
• 2:24
  And I'm the grumpy old man with some
• 2:26
  jerky in my pocket.
• 2:28
  Pocket jerky.
• 2:28
  That's better than pocket sand.
• 2:31
  I will say that.
• 2:34
  Pocket jerky Scott just living his best
• 2:35
  life out here.
• 2:37
  Is that jerky in your pocket?
• 2:40
  Yes.
• 2:42
  You mean to tell me you don't have
• 2:43
  pocket jerking?
• 2:46
  If you don't have pocket jerky,
• 2:48
  you're not living, man.
• 2:48
  I'm trying to tell you,
• 2:49
  you ain't living right.
• 2:51
  Get on Scott's level.
• 2:53
  People see you pulling stuff out of your
• 2:55
  pocket and eat that nice.
• 2:57
  Yeah.
• 2:58
  Yeah.
• 2:58
  Just beef jerky with the Clydesdale.
• 3:02
  Jerky with the Clydesdale.
• 3:06
  A hundred percent, dude.
• 3:07
  I love it.
• 3:10
  Pocket jerky somehow sounds perverted.
• 3:12
  It does a little bit.
• 3:14
  only if you think that way vicky that's
• 3:16
  mostly on you big mostly on you just
• 3:19
  saying uh trent has had some pocket food
• 3:25
  in her day you know what i believe
• 3:27
  that she's a cop man like you gotta
• 3:29
  do what you gotta do sometimes get jerky
• 3:32
  and get jazzy that's the new shirt right
• 3:35
  there that's it get jerky and get jazzy
• 3:40
  I hope I see you sometime soon because
• 3:43
  I'm going to ask you if you have
• 3:43
  any jerky on you whenever I run across
• 3:46
  you.
• 3:47
  You got any jerky in your pocket?
• 3:49
  As a matter of fact...
• 3:50
  I could use some protein right now if
• 3:52
  you happen to have any.
• 3:53
  Let me reach into my pocket.
• 3:55
  Hold on for a second.
• 3:57
  There you go.
• 3:58
  Wait, it's under my keys.
• 4:00
  Hold on.
• 4:01
  Would you like a beef stick or just
• 4:04
  a dehydrated jerky or...
• 4:07
  You know what?
• 4:07
  At this point, beggars can't be choosers.
• 4:11
  Mostly what I don't want is the lint
• 4:15
  associated with pocket jerking.
• 4:18
  That can't be good.
• 4:20
  Yeah.
• 4:21
  Dude,
• 4:21
  desperate times call for desperate
• 4:23
  measures.
• 4:23
  You got to do what you got to
• 4:24
  do sometimes.
• 4:28
  Hey,
• 4:28
  I'm sure a games athlete on the way
• 4:30
  from event three to event four has had
• 4:33
  some pocket jerky.
• 4:35
  Absolutely.
• 4:37
  Or the closest approximation thereof.
• 4:39
  I mean,
• 4:40
  whatever that ends up looking like.
• 4:42
  I'm imagining Brent Fikowski probably has
• 4:45
  some chicken and rice in his pocket
• 4:46
  somewhere.
• 4:46
  Wouldn't surprise me in the least.
• 4:48
  Yeah.
• 4:49
  Would not surprise me in the least.
• 4:52
  Probably not the rice just loose in his
• 4:54
  pocket, but.
• 4:57
  I got to use protection for pocket jerky.
• 5:01
  Oh.
• 5:04
  Police.
• 5:06
  You know, I should never,
• 5:08
  ever wonder if we're going to have
• 5:09
  something to talk about on this show.
• 5:11
  No, we're good.
• 5:12
  We're good.
• 5:14
  Somehow, some way,
• 5:17
  topics just pop up for us.
• 5:19
  So speaking of,
• 5:20
  because you asked me to save it yesterday.
• 5:23
  Oh,
• 5:23
  I have it at the top of my
• 5:24
  list, man.
• 5:25
  Yeah, perfect.
• 5:26
  Now, everybody get ready.
• 5:27
  Corey is going to take control of the
• 5:29
  show and do a share screen.
• 5:32
  Hold on for a second.
• 5:34
  My little boys growing up.
• 5:35
  Oh yeah.
• 5:36
  It's fantastic guys.
• 5:38
  Um,
• 5:40
  so it turns out Pucks of Tony does
• 5:41
  in fact have a high school and we
• 5:45
  found their mascot.
• 5:49
  who looks a whole lot like,
• 5:53
  if you've ever been to Buc-ee's,
• 5:54
  this looks a whole lot like the Buc-ee's
• 5:57
  beaver that is sitting outside.
• 5:58
  They are, in fact, the... The Chucks.
• 6:03
  The Chucks, yes, thank you.
• 6:04
  They are, in fact, the Chucks.
• 6:07
  So if you are not from Western
• 6:09
  Pennsylvania, woodchuck, groundhog,
• 6:13
  pretty much the same thing.
• 6:14
  Well, it's the same thing.
• 6:15
  Yeah.
• 6:15
  They just went with the chucks instead of
• 6:17
  the hogs, which I mean, whatever.
• 6:21
  One or six of one half a dozen
• 6:22
  or the other.
• 6:23
  But there we go.
• 6:24
  That is this statue of their mascot,
• 6:26
  which is outside of their school.
• 6:28
  And I love that they gave him a
• 6:29
  key to the city in the palm of
• 6:32
  his hand.
• 6:33
  As they should.
• 6:34
  I mean, Scott,
• 6:34
  we're talking about this yesterday.
• 6:36
  Of course they gave him the key to
• 6:38
  the city.
• 6:39
  He's in charge of the weather.
• 6:43
  He, at the most, excuse me,
• 6:45
  at the least,
• 6:46
  he deserves a key to the city,
• 6:47
  if not a key to the whole damn
• 6:48
  country.
• 6:49
  So there he is, ladies and gentlemen.
• 6:52
  And for those of you who weren't with
• 6:53
  us yesterday,
• 6:56
  I had a story about Punxsutawney and going
• 6:59
  to see the Groundhog live.
• 7:01
  And this is what came of it.
• 7:03
  This is what came of it.
• 7:09
  all right now oh and he knows how
• 7:10
  to stop sharing too look at that if
• 7:14
  i had two screens we'd be in trouble
• 7:19
  uh jason bourne you are not lying
• 7:21
  groundhog day is such a great movie
• 7:23
  groundhog day is a fantastic film do you
• 7:26
  know what's great about groundhog day is
• 7:28
  the underrated acting ability of chris
• 7:30
  elliott dude yes
• 7:34
  Chris Elliott and the dude that played the
• 7:39
  insurance salesman, whose name escapes me.
• 7:42
  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 7:43
  He was the principal in the Goldbergs.
• 7:48
  Yes,
• 7:49
  and he was in a couple of different
• 7:51
  things.
• 7:51
  He was in sneakers as well.
• 7:53
  Played a real good geek computer nerd guy.
• 7:56
  But just to keep doing that same thing.
• 8:00
  Ned Ryerson.
• 8:01
  Yeah.
• 8:02
  Yes.
• 8:04
  Yes.
• 8:05
  Needle nose Ned.
• 8:06
  Yes.
• 8:06
  Yes.
• 8:07
  Yes.
• 8:09
  But for him to be able to like,
• 8:11
  repeat it over and over and over again.
• 8:14
  And like, even though, you know,
• 8:15
  Bill Murray's doing different things every
• 8:17
  single time, dude, I thought that was,
• 8:18
  it's one of my favorite parts of the
• 8:20
  movie.
• 8:20
  The best time though, is when Bill Murray,
• 8:24
  Ned's Ned,
• 8:25
  and he's so taken aback that a guy
• 8:28
  is being like him to him.
• 8:30
  Outstanding.
• 8:31
  Yes.
• 8:31
  Yeah.
• 8:31
  That's, that's awesome.
• 8:41
  Well,
• 8:43
  I don't have a ton of time today,
• 8:44
  so I want to jump into some CrossFit
• 8:46
  stuff.
• 8:46
  Sure.
• 8:47
  It's super,
• 8:48
  super exciting announcement last night.
• 8:51
  Did you say it?
• 8:51
  I did not.
• 8:54
  It ought to be super exciting right now
• 8:55
  to me.
• 9:02
  The pig and the snail.
• 9:04
  Both.
• 9:06
  Both are coming back for the twentieth
• 9:10
  anniversary.
• 9:14
  Yes, indeed.
• 9:15
  Are you kidding me?
• 9:17
  That's amazing.
• 9:19
  That's going to be fun to watch.
• 9:21
  Whatever it is.
• 9:22
  I don't even care if they're not in
• 9:24
  the same event.
• 9:25
  So much the better.
• 9:26
  So this is how my mind works, right?
• 9:30
  Put them together,
• 9:31
  and it will be the slowest sprint in
• 9:33
  the history of the CrossFit.
• 9:34
  A hundred percent.
• 9:35
  You want to talk about power output?
• 9:37
  Let's see what you got.
• 9:39
  Because that snail, dude,
• 9:40
  the way it's built,
• 9:42
  you can't build momentum.
• 9:43
  Nope.
• 9:45
  It's going to go as fast as it
• 9:46
  goes.
• 9:47
  And that is it.
• 9:48
  That thing is outstanding, dude.
• 9:51
  Oh, I love it.
• 9:55
  Uh,
• 9:55
  now they need to bring back the
• 9:56
  wheelbarrow, the real one,
• 9:58
  not the rogue one that's built to hold
• 10:01
  cannon balls.
• 10:02
  And no, no, no, no.
• 10:04
  The one that,
• 10:05
  the one that they built like three hours
• 10:07
  before they went down and picked up a
• 10:11
  whole bunch of them that, uh,
• 10:15
  once his face just picked up and it
• 10:16
  just went that was a rogue one wasn't
• 10:20
  it that was a rogue one that was
• 10:21
  a rogue one yeah one of them actually
• 10:23
  fell apart on the first time they did
• 10:25
  it it broke broke yeah yeah because they
• 10:28
  went to home depot and we're just like
• 10:30
  i need
• 10:38
  I mean, I love both apparatus.
• 10:41
  Because if you do not,
• 10:43
  if you are not efficient,
• 10:44
  you are going to get demolished.
• 10:48
  Quickly.
• 10:49
  Axe Matt Fraser.
• 10:50
  Right.
• 10:51
  As he fell off a rope.
• 10:52
  You know,
• 10:54
  two of our greatest champions have fallen
• 10:56
  from the rope.
• 10:58
  One of them had a crash mat.
• 11:00
  One of them didn't.
• 11:01
  One of them did not.
• 11:02
  One of them's crash mat was a Home
• 11:03
  Depot bucket.
• 11:08
  Which is not what you want to...
• 11:10
  Chuck Buck gets looking up going, oh shit.
• 11:12
  Yeah, oh no.
• 11:14
  Which is not what you want to land
• 11:15
  on coming from, you know, twelve,
• 11:17
  fifteen feet in the air.
• 11:19
  Not a fantastic thing.
• 11:20
  Dude, that's... Okay, that's good news.
• 11:23
  I like that a lot.
• 11:24
  A whole lot.
• 11:26
  Whether it's climbing snail,
• 11:27
  whether they put both together,
• 11:29
  whether it's, you know,
• 11:31
  twenty five pig flips for time.
• 11:34
  I don't care.
• 11:34
  I really don't care.
• 11:35
  I'm just glad that they're both back.
• 11:37
  The only big flip,
• 11:38
  the pig flip is so iconic, right?
• 11:41
  Yeah.
• 11:43
  One,
• 11:43
  because it's been part of two of the
• 11:45
  most iconic events.
• 11:47
  events ever in the, in the CrossFit games.
• 11:50
  It was part of the Capitol.
• 11:51
  It's how it started.
• 11:53
  Yep.
• 11:53
  And it was,
• 11:54
  it was that event that Matt Frazier fell
• 11:57
  off the damn rope.
• 11:59
  Yeah.
• 11:59
  Because he never did a tire flip.
• 12:02
  Everybody said,
• 12:03
  don't do a curl when you get it
• 12:05
  to your knees.
• 12:06
  And what did my dumb ass do?
• 12:08
  Fifteen curls.
• 12:10
  That's exactly what he said.
• 12:11
  I watched that documentary not that long
• 12:14
  ago.
• 12:15
  And every time that part comes up,
• 12:16
  because then they start telling me about,
• 12:17
  don't worry about it, dude.
• 12:18
  Your rope climbs will get better.
• 12:20
  He's like,
• 12:20
  my legless rope climbs are fine.
• 12:21
  Yeah.
• 12:25
  He had no grip left from the pig
• 12:26
  flip, man.
• 12:27
  No grip.
• 12:28
  That's look,
• 12:29
  that stuff right there is what made me
• 12:32
  a Matt Fraser fan from the get go.
• 12:35
  He's like, no dude, I'm my,
• 12:37
  cause I know how that kind of stuff
• 12:38
  feels when people tell you stuff and it's
• 12:40
  like, dude, my rope climbs are fine.
• 12:42
  It's not what happened.
• 12:44
  I understand what you saw.
• 12:46
  Right.
• 12:47
  But what you saw was not actually what
• 12:48
  took place.
• 12:50
  I understand you are correct.
• 12:52
  It was also part of the Burden Run.
• 12:54
  It was just a different version of the
• 12:55
  pig.
• 12:55
  It was a different version of the pig.
• 12:57
  It's the same ones that JR has at
• 13:00
  Crash, those with the handles on them.
• 13:02
  I even think it was an iteration before
• 13:04
  that because those are flip sleds.
• 13:06
  Yeah.
• 13:07
  I think this was like Rogue's first draft
• 13:10
  at the Burden Run.
• 13:12
  And then they decided,
• 13:14
  then they took away the handles.
• 13:15
  Like,
• 13:16
  now we're going to cover this thing in
• 13:18
  vinyl.
• 13:19
  And you're going to have nothing to grip.
• 13:22
  There's like a little ledge.
• 13:24
  So like the top of it looks like
• 13:25
  a Lego, right?
• 13:27
  We had one at Polaris.
• 13:29
  Yeah.
• 13:29
  So that's,
• 13:29
  but that's all you get is what I'm
• 13:30
  saying.
• 13:31
  Like it's what.
• 13:32
  If you call that a ledge,
• 13:33
  like I don't want to be out on
• 13:34
  it.
• 13:34
  That's for sure.
• 13:35
  Right.
• 13:37
  Like you got to kind of.
• 13:38
  Cause it is, there's not much to grip.
• 13:42
  No.
• 13:43
  And I'm, that's by design.
• 13:45
  I guarantee it.
• 13:47
  Yeah,
• 13:47
  I think they saw the bird and run
• 13:50
  and they made the two point O version
• 13:52
  with the red vinyl around it.
• 13:54
  Yeah.
• 13:55
  And then the pretty picture of the rogue
• 13:57
  pig, like the pig on the side.
• 14:01
  Yeah, fantastic.
• 14:02
  Better branding on two point O.
• 14:05
  This is how much the pig pissed Matt
• 14:07
  Fraser off,
• 14:08
  is he bought one for use after those
• 14:15
  games and was not going to get beaten
• 14:17
  by it again.
• 14:18
  That was amazing.
• 14:18
  There's something wrong in the world,
• 14:24
  Dave.
• 14:25
  I don't know what it is.
• 14:29
  Thanks a lot, Kenneth DeLapp.
• 14:30
  Fantastic.
• 14:31
  Sorry, my Steven Tyler scream is... Oh,
• 14:40
  that's all right, dude.
• 14:41
  Not the perfect pitch yet.
• 14:44
  Steven Tyler, is it?
• 14:45
  No,
• 14:45
  that takes a whole lot of work and
• 14:47
  effort to be able to get to do
• 14:49
  the things that he does with his voice.
• 14:53
  Even though he does, in fact,
• 14:54
  look like an eighty five year old retired
• 14:55
  lady.
• 14:59
  So that happened yesterday.
• 15:03
  Super stoked for that.
• 15:04
  Shit, yeah.
• 15:07
  I also want to...
• 15:09
  So I put out a comment.
• 15:11
  I put out a reel from Sunday Night
• 15:13
  Show where Jamie...
• 15:15
  We were talking about...
• 15:17
  streaming and pay-per-view and someone in
• 15:19
  the comments said,
• 15:21
  CrossFit's going to add pay-per-view and F
• 15:22
  the whole thing up.
• 15:24
  Right.
• 15:24
  And Jamie was like,
• 15:26
  in response to that comment,
• 15:27
  like I would rather do a pay-per-view for
• 15:30
  that event than pay for a monthly
• 15:32
  subscription, essentially.
• 15:34
  I'm paraphrasing big time.
• 15:35
  Right.
• 15:36
  Do you know how many people have said,
• 15:38
  if CrossFit goes to pay-per-view,
• 15:42
  then they're only going to have two
• 15:43
  viewers and blah, blah, blah.
• 15:44
  Right.
• 15:45
  Well,
• 15:45
  you're going to have three because in
• 15:47
  addition to Jamie,
• 15:48
  I'm going to go ahead and pay to
• 15:49
  watch the games.
• 15:50
  And I'm the same.
• 15:51
  I feel the same way she does.
• 15:52
  Like, I'm not paying.
• 15:54
  Hey, call it whatever.
• 15:57
  Flow Elite.
• 15:57
  Flow Elite.
• 15:58
  I think she called it Watcha Gigi.
• 16:00
  Yeah, she did call it Watcha Gigi.
• 16:02
  I don't understand how she feels.
• 16:04
  I'm not paying Flow Elite.
• 16:06
  whatever ridiculous amount of money they
• 16:08
  want a month for all the in-between stuff.
• 16:11
  Because I don't care about the rest of
• 16:13
  the niche events that they cover,
• 16:14
  you know,
• 16:16
  that they show up for and stream.
• 16:17
  Especially considering the fact that their
• 16:18
  streaming is not always fantastic.
• 16:22
  It still cuts out from time to time.
• 16:24
  I need to hit this button just real
• 16:25
  quick.
• 16:25
  Hold on.
• 16:26
  Go for it.
• 16:26
  Hold on.
• 16:35
  The expectation that you get entertainment
• 16:39
  for free boggles my freaking mind.
• 16:44
  We have been so spoiled in the CrossFit
• 16:46
  world that they have put on a high-value
• 16:49
  production event at the games,
• 16:53
  at regionals,
• 16:54
  for years and years and years for free.
• 16:59
  And now, anything less than that...
• 17:02
  perfect stream we bitch about and we're
• 17:08
  not paying for it we're not paying for
• 17:12
  it you would not walk into a movie
• 17:16
  theater and expect to watch a movie for
• 17:18
  free you would not go to a baseball
• 17:23
  game and get and jump over the turnstile
• 17:28
  and not hand them a ticket
• 17:33
  Not even jump over to turnstile.
• 17:34
  Just be allowed through.
• 17:35
  Right.
• 17:37
  You will get tackled faster than Ray Lewis
• 17:41
  getting a quarterback.
• 17:42
  A hundred percent.
• 17:45
  The fact that people expect their
• 17:47
  entertainment to be free is mind boggling
• 17:50
  to me.
• 17:54
  Demand it.
• 17:56
  And we know CrossFit doesn't have Reebok
• 17:59
  money anymore.
• 18:00
  CrossFit doesn't have the big sponsorships
• 18:02
  anymore.
• 18:03
  Go to any live event and see the
• 18:05
  three vendors that are there.
• 18:07
  You realize that the well is tap dry.
• 18:12
  They get upset at the thought that
• 18:15
  Mayhem's event might not be streamed.
• 18:21
  or that Legends event might not be
• 18:23
  streamed,
• 18:24
  or they get mad at frickin' Savant's crew
• 18:28
  for going up in the woods to put
• 18:31
  on a live stream,
• 18:33
  and it doesn't work perfectly the entire
• 18:36
  time.
• 18:37
  Are you kidding me?
• 18:40
  Have you seen where NorCal was?
• 18:43
  And did you have to pay for NorCal?
• 18:46
  No!
• 18:47
  No.
• 18:49
  It was free.
• 18:54
  And all those people donated all that time
• 18:58
  and their resources to give it to you
• 19:01
  for free.
• 19:02
  And it's still not good enough.
• 19:04
  And it's, oh my God,
• 19:05
  it was blurry for ten seconds.
• 19:09
  Yeah, it was.
• 19:11
  If you can do better, by all means,
• 19:14
  do better.
• 19:16
  That's been our rule for get for a
• 19:18
  open workout redos since I've been doing
• 19:21
  the open.
• 19:22
  Like,
• 19:22
  I don't know if I should redo that.
• 19:23
  Can you do better?
• 19:24
  Yeah.
• 19:24
  Well then do better.
• 19:25
  Okay, cool.
• 19:25
  I'll go ahead and redo it.
• 19:27
  And I feel the same way about the
• 19:29
  rest of it, dude.
• 19:29
  Like if you can put it on for
• 19:31
  better, by all means, please come do it.
• 19:34
  Like I am telling you where we are
• 19:37
  at a line where I'm not sure the
• 19:40
  CrossFit games are going to happen much
• 19:42
  longer.
• 19:46
  Because the most important thing that
• 19:47
  CrossFit needs is affiliates and a company
• 19:54
  to oversee those affiliates.
• 19:58
  The games are an add-on.
• 20:00
  And at some point,
• 20:01
  if it doesn't make economical sense
• 20:04
  anymore or isn't driving people to
• 20:06
  affiliates, it's going to go away.
• 20:10
  So if they're looking for another revenue
• 20:14
  stream,
• 20:15
  to help fund it,
• 20:18
  our first response should not be to bitch
• 20:20
  about it.
• 20:24
  The same people that bitch about that will
• 20:27
  go and buy a twenty five dollar iced
• 20:30
  mocha frappuccino three times a week and
• 20:34
  not even blink.
• 20:36
  But God forbid,
• 20:37
  I need to throw twenty dollars towards a
• 20:40
  to be able to watch a stream all
• 20:42
  weekend of my favorite athletes complete
• 20:44
  competing in the thing that I do.
• 20:50
  Nothing is free, Scott.
• 20:51
  I pay my box who pays CrossFit a
• 20:53
  fee.
• 20:53
  I paid for the open.
• 20:54
  I paid for quarterfinals to pay for
• 20:56
  semifinals.
• 20:57
  Yeah.
• 20:57
  I paid enough to view the games for
• 20:58
  free.
• 21:00
  if I pay to see matrix one,
• 21:02
  matrix two, matrix three,
• 21:05
  I still have to pay to see matrix
• 21:06
  four.
• 21:07
  Yeah, but don't, it sucked so bad.
• 21:09
  It was terrible.
• 21:10
  Bad example.
• 21:14
  I understand what you mean.
• 21:15
  Rocky two, Rocky three.
• 21:17
  And then I don't get to go see
• 21:19
  Rocky four for free.
• 21:20
  Right.
• 21:24
  Right.
• 21:25
  And,
• 21:29
  I feel like the athletes are the ones
• 21:36
  they're trying to milk the money out of
• 21:40
  when it should be the people watching it
• 21:42
  for entertainment.
• 21:45
  I got one of my real good friends
• 21:46
  who does not do CrossFit and never has,
• 21:49
  but watches the games every year,
• 21:50
  like keeps up with the season and whatnot
• 21:51
  because he thinks the stuff that they do
• 21:53
  is incredible.
• 21:55
  He's more of a,
• 21:56
  I wouldn't even say bodybuilder,
• 21:57
  but just he keeps himself fit.
• 21:58
  He works out, you know,
• 22:00
  four or five days a week, whatever.
• 22:02
  And like when it comes around to the
• 22:04
  games time,
• 22:04
  I know I'll get a text from Brad
• 22:06
  at some point and we'll have a
• 22:08
  conversation about what Tia's doing or
• 22:10
  what this one's doing or what that one's
• 22:11
  doing or whatnot.
• 22:13
  And he would probably pay to watch the
• 22:15
  games all weekend,
• 22:17
  even though he does not do CrossFit
• 22:18
  because, oh, behind the paywall.
• 22:20
  All right, cool.
• 22:22
  What is it, twenty bucks for the weekend?
• 22:23
  Sweet.
• 22:25
  Avera says,
• 22:25
  if you do not want to grow CrossFit,
• 22:27
  yeah, they should charge a fee.
• 22:28
  Almost nobody cares about competitive
• 22:30
  fitness as it is.
• 22:34
  If you can show me a correlation to
• 22:36
  putting on a great production of the games
• 22:39
  and the growth of CrossFit,
• 22:41
  then I'm with you.
• 22:45
  If you can show me a games production
• 22:47
  where they advertise something besides
• 22:49
  CrossFit itself,
• 22:51
  it's like you're selling ice to Eskimos at
• 22:54
  that point.
• 22:55
  Like the ads during the CrossFit games,
• 22:58
  generally speaking,
• 22:59
  are for CrossFit boxes.
• 23:02
  So you might get sunk on the odd
• 23:04
  chance that there are people watching,
• 23:06
  like my boy Brad,
• 23:07
  who is not going to go to CrossFit
• 23:08
  games,
• 23:09
  but nobody's stumbling across it on the
• 23:11
  internet.
• 23:12
  You're not stumbling it across on YouTube.
• 23:14
  You're not flipping through channels on
• 23:16
  YouTube and what is this?
• 23:17
  Why are these people running around and
• 23:19
  throwing barbells around?
• 23:21
  So that's kind of a really,
• 23:26
  really weird thing.
• 23:28
  How insane would it be if Dave just
• 23:30
  throws an insane twentieth year and they
• 23:32
  just cut it next year?
• 23:36
  It was never supposed to be.
• 23:38
  What we see now was never supposed to
• 23:40
  happen.
• 23:40
  It was never supposed to happen.
• 23:46
  And the problem is they got spoiled with
• 23:48
  a shit ton of Reebok money.
• 23:50
  For years.
• 23:52
  And it grew beyond what it should have
• 23:55
  in those days.
• 23:57
  Too quick, too fast,
• 23:58
  unsustainable for the amount without them
• 24:01
  steady,
• 24:01
  just pumping cash into it without Reebok
• 24:04
  still just having that pipeline of money,
• 24:07
  just rolling on through it.
• 24:08
  It was never going to,
• 24:09
  it was never going to,
• 24:11
  you need to have,
• 24:14
  it needs to be some, some, some way,
• 24:17
  some way, shape or form sustainable.
• 24:18
  Because if it's not,
• 24:19
  especially with this new CEO coming in,
• 24:21
  he's already said it several different
• 24:23
  times, man.
• 24:23
  Look, if it's not serving us,
• 24:24
  it's not going to be around.
• 24:27
  period uh i just want to say i
• 24:32
  dig the riff alert it's been sitting it's
• 24:35
  been sitting in there for a while i
• 24:36
  just haven't i haven't hit the button in
• 24:38
  a while scott has to he had to
• 24:39
  knock the dust off of it to be
• 24:40
  able to hit it kind of like the
• 24:44
  lint off my pocket jerky so much pocket
• 24:50
  jerky
• 24:54
  Again, better than Pocket Sand.
• 24:56
  If you don't know what Pocket Sand is,
• 24:58
  I need you to watch King of the
• 24:58
  Hill.
• 25:01
  God, I love that show.
• 25:03
  I don't know if you can,
• 25:04
  can you see my Hank Hill Lego?
• 25:06
  Sure enough.
• 25:07
  Right there.
• 25:11
  Trey, you need a schmear alert.
• 25:15
  We also haven't, we haven't had,
• 25:17
  we haven't talked shit about fucking WFP
• 25:19
  in quite some time, dude.
• 25:20
  There's been no need to.
• 25:25
  That's an excellent question, Alito.
• 25:27
  I don't know.
• 25:29
  I'm sure there are measurables that they
• 25:31
  are looking at at CrossFit HQ,
• 25:33
  but they keep so much of their numbers
• 25:35
  and stuff tight to the vest that as
• 25:38
  an outsider,
• 25:39
  it's really hard to get any kind of
• 25:41
  judgment about anything.
• 25:42
  Yeah.
• 25:46
  I mean, she's got a great point.
• 25:47
  How would you measure it even if it's
• 25:49
  not pay-per-view?
• 25:50
  How are you going to measure that?
• 25:53
  Like,
• 25:53
  aside from legitimately putting up a
• 25:56
  survey during the weekend sometime.
• 25:59
  Dude,
• 26:00
  my first professional job was surveying.
• 26:04
  If you got fifteen percent of the surveys
• 26:06
  back, you were lucky.
• 26:07
  That's what I'm talking about.
• 26:08
  That's what I was getting at.
• 26:09
  And that's not going to do anybody any
• 26:10
  good.
• 26:11
  But like, aside from saying,
• 26:14
  if you're watching this and you don't
• 26:15
  actually do CrossFit,
• 26:16
  but you sign up later,
• 26:18
  please drop us a line.
• 26:21
  Let us know.
• 26:23
  Because there's no way if you do like
• 26:27
  a long term survey or not survey,
• 26:31
  but like a long term, I guess,
• 26:33
  process of looking at it and go, OK,
• 26:35
  the games happened, you know,
• 26:37
  the weekend of July twenty third,
• 26:40
  twenty fifth, whatever.
• 26:42
  and then go the next three months see
• 26:45
  if how many people signed up for boxes
• 26:48
  like signed up at their local box after
• 26:50
  that like oh we got ten new members
• 26:53
  this box got fifteen new members i guess
• 26:56
  you could charge chart it like that but
• 26:58
  that's that's not really and it's a lot
• 27:01
  of assumptions right that that that's you
• 27:04
  know it's the causation and correlation
• 27:07
  thing like
• 27:08
  Did they just happen to sign up then?
• 27:11
  We've been having a little bit of a
• 27:12
  boom at the gym.
• 27:14
  Got a whole bunch of new members that
• 27:15
  have signed up the past couple of months.
• 27:17
  I met a new guy this morning at
• 27:18
  five a.m.
• 27:19
  class.
• 27:19
  I didn't even know was signed up.
• 27:24
  But if that happens after the games and
• 27:25
  we get ten new members,
• 27:27
  just because you get on those streaks,
• 27:29
  you start getting more members,
• 27:30
  more members, more members, more members,
• 27:32
  and it kind of drops off for a
• 27:33
  little bit.
• 27:33
  That's natural ebb and flow.
• 27:36
  It's like saying, oh, yeah,
• 27:38
  we got a whole bunch of new members
• 27:39
  this year.
• 27:40
  Why?
• 27:41
  I don't know.
• 27:41
  We put on a nice Friday night light.
• 27:43
  We like to think it was that.
• 27:46
  And maybe it was but it's all an
• 27:48
  assumption.
• 27:49
  A very asked doesn't CrossFit get paid by
• 27:51
  YouTube for views?
• 27:53
  It's not that simple.
• 27:55
  It's not you really can't tell how the
• 27:58
  payments coming in.
• 28:00
  Because it's not really based on views.
• 28:02
  It's based on ad watch, ad watch time.
• 28:06
  Or if somebody paid a membership that's a
• 28:08
  viewer,
• 28:09
  and they don't give you that breakdown
• 28:11
  when they show you your stuff.
• 28:15
  So your thirty seven cents going about
• 28:17
  your day.
• 28:18
  Yeah.
• 28:19
  And you don't really know how that episode
• 28:22
  gained thirty seven cents, right?
• 28:26
  No,
• 28:26
  because it's a combination of like three
• 28:28
  different things and they don't.
• 28:31
  It's mostly in it.
• 28:33
  It is.
• 28:34
  Yeah, so even if, like,
• 28:37
  I don't know if you'll notice or not,
• 28:39
  but July starts at the first and runs
• 28:41
  all the way through the end of the
• 28:42
  month.
• 28:42
  So, like,
• 28:43
  they're going to have other stuff going
• 28:44
  on.
• 28:45
  It's a lot of assumptions, guesswork,
• 28:50
  kind of, maybe, sort of, I don't know,
• 28:52
  let's find out, type deal.
• 29:01
  I'm trying to, yeah, I'm trying to.
• 29:03
  Speaking of making of assumptions,
• 29:06
  don't make an assumption out of you and
• 29:07
  me when it comes to your sleep and
• 29:10
  recovery.
• 29:12
  Try Thirdsy today and you can do it
• 29:14
  for fifteen percent off.
• 29:17
  Code Jazzy at checkout or go to
• 29:19
  Thirdsy.com backslash Jazzy.
• 29:24
  get fifteen percent off and you don't have
• 29:25
  to assume if you're going to get fifteen
• 29:27
  percent off you know you're going to get
• 29:29
  fifteen percent off hundred percent and
• 29:31
  the other thing you're going to know is
• 29:33
  deeper sleep more recovery and tested so
• 29:37
  you don't pop at competitions at least not
• 29:41
  for that yeah not valid in brazil it's
• 29:50
  actually as valid to brazil and just
• 29:52
  anyway
• 29:54
  I think I need to take some of
• 29:55
  that thirty seven cents I make off of
• 29:57
  this episode and get Vicki some typing
• 29:59
  lessons.
• 30:00
  I mean.
• 30:03
  Not my best work.
• 30:03
  I think you did good.
• 30:06
  If it takes you four comments to get
• 30:08
  get all the words right.
• 30:09
  Speaking of.
• 30:10
  Yeah,
• 30:11
  I just like how she made it rhyme.
• 30:13
  Like, where is it?
• 30:16
  It just went away for me.
• 30:19
  Don't make an assumption out of you and
• 30:21
  me when it comes to your sleep and
• 30:22
  recovery.
• 30:25
  job there you go uh scott does your
• 30:31
  wife use thirdsy too no because i asked
• 30:33
  her to no that's fair dude i'm just
• 30:39
  telling you that's fair that's the hats if
• 30:42
  i would have just left it on the
• 30:43
  counter and let it be she probably would
• 30:44
  be using it every night yep but because
• 30:47
  i asked her to you know how you
• 30:51
  know how i know my wife thinks greased
• 30:52
  in
• 30:54
  Not every day,
• 30:54
  but probably four days a week because I
• 30:57
  make her coffee in the morning.
• 31:00
  You just slip it in?
• 31:01
  I put her a scoop.
• 31:03
  She goes on about her business.
• 31:05
  You're creatine roofing your wife?
• 31:07
  Oh, no.
• 31:08
  She's not roofing.
• 31:09
  She knows it's in there.
• 31:11
  But she just won't do it on her
• 31:13
  own.
• 31:14
  And look,
• 31:14
  she literally just has to open the cabinet
• 31:16
  and pull it out.
• 31:18
  and put it in herself because she, she,
• 31:22
  she's a fan of it.
• 31:22
  Like she understands what it does.
• 31:24
  She gets it.
• 31:25
  Like, it's okay.
• 31:26
  But the only way she gets it is
• 31:29
  if I give it to her.
• 31:29
  Yeah.
• 31:34
  Creatine roofie.
• 31:37
  There are worse roofies.
• 31:39
  Uh, that's how your,
• 31:40
  that's how his kids came out.
• 31:43
  There are worse roofies or so I've been
• 31:45
  told.
• 31:45
  Um,
• 31:50
  the other things i have are going to
• 31:51
  take too long and i've got this one
• 31:53
  o'clock meeting so yep uh i'm super
• 31:56
  excited about what's to come at the games
• 31:59
  uh i signed my media credential
• 32:03
  acknowledgement blah blah blah last night
• 32:06
  looking at final flights looking at camera
• 32:09
  lenses to rent so i can get some
• 32:11
  better content you can rent camera lenses
• 32:14
  You can.
• 32:15
  Wow.
• 32:16
  Some some camera lenses are like twenty
• 32:18
  thousand dollars.
• 32:19
  Oh, I believe it.
• 32:20
  And so a lot of even big time
• 32:23
  photographers just rent them for the job
• 32:27
  they're doing.
• 32:28
  It's got to be a pretty lucrative
• 32:29
  business, I would imagine.
• 32:31
  Yeah, I I Google.
• 32:33
  Well, one, I checked with my consultant,
• 32:35
  my daughter, the photographer,
• 32:37
  and and the amount of people in Columbus
• 32:40
  that rent out the the lenses is insane.
• 32:53
  Dave's chats with Ella Wilkinson,
• 32:55
  Lydia Fish,
• 32:55
  and Gabby Magala were real good.
• 32:57
  I saw two of the three so far.
• 33:01
  I've not seen Lydia's yet.
• 33:07
  The note I took down is,
• 33:09
  is Dave truly interviewing or is he doing
• 33:13
  research?
• 33:15
  I would say research.
• 33:17
  I would legitimately say research.
• 33:19
  Because I've listened to a lot of them
• 33:21
  in the last three days.
• 33:23
  And I swear, I swear he's like,
• 33:27
  what are you good at?
• 33:28
  Yeah.
• 33:29
  What do you struggle with?
• 33:30
  So what have you not been working on?
• 33:34
  It's what it feels like.
• 33:35
  And it looks like at times he's taking
• 33:37
  notes.
• 33:39
  Yeah.
• 33:40
  He's like,
• 33:41
  so you haven't really been riding a bike,
• 33:42
  huh?
• 33:44
  That's interesting.
• 33:47
  Yeah, on a bike ride.
• 33:53
  Oh, I didn't watch that.
• 33:54
  I did watch his the behind the scenes
• 33:58
  making
• 34:02
  crafting the games, whatever it's called,
• 34:05
  yesterday with part two or part three or
• 34:07
  whatever it was,
• 34:09
  when he apparently had an animal just
• 34:14
  soaking and some dog pulled out and
• 34:16
  whatnot.
• 34:16
  But the stuff they were talking about,
• 34:19
  whoever edited that did a real good job
• 34:21
  because they'll let you get right up to
• 34:24
  it, whatever they're talking about,
• 34:25
  and then cut it.
• 34:28
  Yep.
• 34:30
  And I kind of feel bad for Rafa
• 34:33
  because he basically,
• 34:37
  apparently one of the events is going to
• 34:38
  be to clean up the grounds at the
• 34:43
  ranch.
• 34:44
  Yeah.
• 34:46
  Hey, Rafa,
• 34:46
  can you lug that tree out of the
• 34:48
  way?
• 34:49
  Bro,
• 34:51
  Dave needs to learn how that pole saw
• 34:53
  actually works because he almost got taken
• 34:55
  out by that limb.
• 34:56
  That did not look good.
• 34:59
  So Ed says,
• 35:00
  but if he already has the workouts laid
• 35:01
  out,
• 35:02
  it doesn't matter what the athletes say.
• 35:04
  Here's what I'm going to tell you, Ed.
• 35:06
  Again,
• 35:07
  I volunteered at the games in twenty
• 35:09
  seventeen, worked North Park.
• 35:13
  Stuff changed.
• 35:14
  Strongman's fear changed three times from
• 35:17
  the time we got there and started working
• 35:20
  on everything as a volunteer to when the
• 35:23
  event actually went off.
• 35:27
  So, yeah,
• 35:27
  the basic concept of it was there.
• 35:34
  Literally, they put it out there.
• 35:36
  He changed the strap on the sled pool.
• 35:41
  Forty seconds before the first heat went.
• 35:49
  It's the old.
• 35:50
  We're going to put the track down as
• 35:54
  the train's coming.
• 35:56
  Well,
• 35:57
  and I think the track is like all
• 35:59
  the parts are there and they're kind of
• 36:02
  in position,
• 36:03
  but you may move them like a couple
• 36:05
  inches to the right or the left,
• 36:07
  or maybe you put a couple extra support
• 36:09
  pieces
• 36:10
  rails in between or you just you get
• 36:13
  everything out there and actually on the
• 36:15
  floor and you look around you go something
• 36:20
  just doesn't feel right or whatnot and you
• 36:21
  kind of work on it and you go
• 36:22
  oh okay yeah let's do this right now
• 36:25
  um dave they're about to take the floor
• 36:27
  they can wait for ten seconds it'll be
• 36:28
  all right
• 36:30
  Well,
• 36:30
  he is not big on saying they can
• 36:32
  wait ten seconds because he wants to stay
• 36:33
  on time.
• 36:34
  Yeah.
• 36:35
  But he's like,
• 36:35
  you got forty five seconds to wrap this
• 36:38
  black duct tape around all ten straps
• 36:41
  before they go.
• 36:42
  So go.
• 36:43
  You might want to hurry.
• 36:44
  Yeah.
• 36:46
  Now,
• 36:46
  and he'll be out there with you wrapping
• 36:48
  duct tape because he wants to get it
• 36:50
  done.
• 36:53
  But yeah,
• 36:54
  it gets tweaked right up until three, two,
• 36:57
  one, as Andrew Sten said.
• 36:59
  Yeah.
• 37:03
  And even then they might change for the
• 37:05
  next stage group.
• 37:06
  Is that true?
• 37:09
  That's how I cook dinner too, Vicki.
• 37:11
  Oh, by the way,
• 37:12
  I need to shout out Dan church as
• 37:13
  another one of mine.
• 37:15
  Very good.
• 37:16
  Uh,
• 37:18
  friends slash my unofficial official
• 37:21
  weightlifting coach and whatnot that i met
• 37:23
  here because he fussed at me this morning
• 37:28
  he says probably recency bias because i
• 37:29
  haven't been in a chat but you know
• 37:31
  me dang damn it and i was like
• 37:33
  i do know you my bad dude i
• 37:34
  love you dan uh trink as we spoke
• 37:39
  yesterday the red barn is in aromas that's
• 37:42
  been announced the sap center is in san
• 37:45
  jose
• 37:47
  So we already know those two locations.
• 37:49
  But again,
• 37:50
  the ranch is the worst kept secret of
• 37:53
  this year's games.
• 37:55
  But the Red Barn is in Aromas.
• 37:58
  The Red Barn is not just in Aromas.
• 38:00
  It basically backs up to the ranch.
• 38:02
  Yep.
• 38:07
  Do they announce master workouts early?
• 38:09
  Probably.
• 38:10
  I don't know.
• 38:10
  Yes.
• 38:11
  Yes.
• 38:13
  Maybe not all of them, but yeah,
• 38:15
  they will definitely announce them.
• 38:16
  Bob and Joe are pretty good for that.
• 38:19
  And it's usually like a couple of days
• 38:21
  before the event, if they do it,
• 38:24
  like they did legends.
• 38:25
  And I think they did the same thing
• 38:26
  last year for, uh, for the games,
• 38:27
  the last two years for the games.
• 38:30
  I wish they would put out a schedule
• 38:31
  of times for planning.
• 38:32
  There's a lot going on from Wednesday to
• 38:33
  Friday that will require some pre-planning
• 38:35
  to see what you want.
• 38:37
  Well, one,
• 38:39
  you're probably not going to get to see
• 38:41
  the Wednesday.
• 38:43
  Unless you pay for the VIP pass.
• 38:48
  And Thursday, I'm guessing,
• 38:49
  is going to be an off day.
• 38:54
  It seems like it's going to be the
• 38:55
  way that everything's laying out.
• 39:00
  Amanda,
• 39:02
  I'm just going to leave this here because
• 39:03
  I don't want to be the one that
• 39:04
  says it again.
• 39:05
  I'll say it.
• 39:08
  She's not wrong.
• 39:10
  Bob and Joe are awful with announcements.
• 39:12
  She is not wrong.
• 39:15
  They'll put stuff out and then change it
• 39:17
  at the,
• 39:19
  and two hours later and make
• 39:21
  clarification.
• 39:21
  Like I that's,
• 39:23
  that's been par for the course,
• 39:24
  but she's not wrong.
• 39:26
  I did not pay for the VIP pass.
• 39:29
  I have media credentials.
• 39:30
  I don't even know what that gets me.
• 39:33
  Um, I have a pit pass.
• 39:35
  I have the regular media credential.
• 39:39
  I don't, I don't know.
• 39:42
  So Ortega's saying,
• 39:44
  Dave said Thursday is a rest day.
• 39:45
  So if Thursday is a rest day,
• 39:47
  Wednesday is going to be something to
• 39:49
  witness.
• 39:51
  I've never heard him commit to Thursday as
• 39:53
  a rest day.
• 39:54
  He was asked that in a couple of
• 39:55
  the interviews and never fully committed
• 39:58
  to yes, it is.
• 40:03
  And I got to get out of here,
• 40:05
  so we'll leave it with give Micah the
• 40:07
  Masters next year.
• 40:09
  That doesn't need any context with that.
• 40:11
  Not at all.
• 40:12
  You know what?
• 40:13
  You wouldn't wait to get to the editing
• 40:15
  room to jazz me up.
• 40:17
  I'm already jazzy.
• 40:37
  From the gym to the screen, yeah,
• 40:39
  we cover it all.
• 40:41
  Midday motivation every time we press
• 40:44
  call.
• 40:46
  Lunch with the Clydesdale Cowboy,
• 40:47
  bring the heat.
• 40:48
  CrossFit, movies, music, home repeat.
