  Thank you so much for being

  here tonight with me,
• 1:21
  Jamie Latimer and Carolyn Prevo.
• 1:24
  What's going on guys?
• 1:25
  Not much.
• 1:27
  Not much.
• 1:27
  Watching my,
• 1:28
  my friends play some hockey right now.
• 1:33
  On the woman, on the women's league.
• 1:35
  Yeah.
• 1:38
  Is that the same season as the NHL?
• 1:39
  Yep.
• 1:39
  About the same time.
• 1:43
  Same time frame.
• 1:44
  Yeah,
• 1:44
  they'll finish a little bit earlier
• 1:45
  because they have world
• 1:46
  championships normally in April.
• 1:50
  They won't go as long as the NHL,
• 1:52
  but they start around the same time.
• 1:55
  Well, speaking of NHL,
• 1:58
  Columbus hosted the Winter
• 1:59
  Classic this weekend.
• 2:01
  So right here in town at the
• 2:02
  Ohio State Stadium, the Horseshoe,
• 2:06
  the Red Wings and the Blue
• 2:07
  Jackets played.
• 2:09
  And the Blue Jackets had a
• 2:11
  miraculous comeback to take
• 2:13
  the win at the very end of
• 2:15
  the game to a massive crowd
• 2:19
  at the Horseshoe.
• 2:22
  I saw the highlights of the
• 2:25
  Goudreau family as well.
• 2:26
  Right there.
• 2:28
  That's yeah.
• 2:29
  That's cool.
• 2:30
  Yeah.
• 2:30
  Gosh,
• 2:31
  that story is just taking on a life
• 2:33
  of its own.
• 2:35
  And such good people.
• 2:38
  And the fact that we lost
• 2:39
  him in the off season due
• 2:41
  to a car accident that
• 2:44
  didn't need to happen is just tragic.
• 2:47
  Mm hmm.
• 2:49
  So we had that going on this
• 2:50
  weekend in Columbus and the
• 2:51
  Arnold all at the same time.
• 2:54
  So you can only imagine that
• 2:55
  within a three mile radius,
• 2:59
  those two events were
• 3:00
  happening simultaneously.
• 3:02
  And the, I did not leave my house.
• 3:04
  I just,
• 3:05
  I did not want any part of that traffic,
• 3:07
  any part of that mess.
• 3:10
  But yeah, crazy, crazy, crazy.
• 3:12
  Yeah,
• 3:12
  I was seeing all the Arnold posts and
• 3:14
  I was like, oh, man,
• 3:15
  I was there last year.
• 3:17
  But hearing that, like,
• 3:19
  because it was already crazy last year.
• 3:21
  I can't imagine with another
• 3:23
  big event there.
• 3:25
  Well,
• 3:25
  I was watching Strongman on Friday
• 3:27
  and the venue that they put
• 3:29
  for Strongman had to be
• 3:31
  four times bigger than last year.
• 3:33
  Wow.
• 3:34
  It was sold out.
• 3:36
  wow yeah it looked awesome I
• 3:37
  like I hadn't gone since
• 3:39
  like I went I think in
• 3:40
  during covet year um but
• 3:42
  I've seen like videos ever
• 3:43
  since and it looked like
• 3:45
  there was more fans than
• 3:46
  usual did were you were you
• 3:49
  at rogue yes when they
• 3:52
  built the indoor stands yep
• 3:55
  that's what it looked like
• 3:56
  at the arnold yeah cool the
• 3:58
  stands from floor to ceiling
• 4:01
  It just massive.
• 4:04
  And it was packed for men and women.
• 4:08
  I watched a lot of the women,
• 4:10
  and I think I wouldn't have
• 4:11
  known them really as well
• 4:12
  as I feel like I do now
• 4:14
  just because of the Rogue Invitational.
• 4:16
  And then having a small
• 4:18
  field of ten athletes,
• 4:19
  it's just so much easier to
• 4:23
  get to know or recognize at
• 4:26
  least the names and know
• 4:28
  their lifts and stuff like that.
• 4:30
  So I liked watching both of
• 4:32
  the divisions go.
• 4:33
  And the men's field was
• 4:35
  pretty deep this time around.
• 4:36
  Yeah.
• 4:37
  Oh,
• 4:37
  thank God they only have ten because
• 4:40
  they take forever to set up
• 4:43
  for everything that they do.
• 4:45
  I know they're massive
• 4:46
  weights and they have to be
• 4:47
  ultra careful.
• 4:49
  But the smelling salts and
• 4:51
  then like the whole kit.
• 4:54
  It's comical to watch.
• 4:55
  And I've been watching it
• 4:56
  since I was a kid on ESPN
• 4:59
  when Magnus von Magnussen
• 5:00
  was the king of strong man
• 5:03
  in the eighties.
• 5:05
  And it's so funny that he's
• 5:06
  a judge now at all these events.
• 5:09
  And he is so small compared
• 5:11
  to this new breed of strong men.
• 5:14
  But I had one question for
• 5:16
  you guys out of this,
• 5:18
  just a quirky question.
• 5:20
  I don't know if you saw Thor
• 5:21
  go for the world record in the deadlift.
• 5:26
  I didn't.
• 5:29
  He saw his successful
• 5:30
  attempt on Friday and then
• 5:32
  I missed that because we
• 5:32
  had Friday night lights and
• 5:34
  I was just busy at work
• 5:34
  during the day and I just
• 5:35
  never caught up.
• 5:37
  So he hit a thousand twenty six.
• 5:40
  The world record is like a
• 5:41
  thousand forty something.
• 5:44
  But if you get over five hundred kilos,
• 5:48
  you win cash money.
• 5:51
  So he jumped from one
• 5:52
  thousand twenty six to eleven oh six.
• 5:56
  Oh, my gosh.
• 5:59
  But while he was lifting,
• 6:01
  the knurling on this
• 6:03
  elephant bar was so new and so sharp,
• 6:06
  he was cutting his thighs.
• 6:09
  Oh.
• 6:10
  So I hate new knurling on a bar.
• 6:15
  Hate it, hate it, hate it.
• 6:17
  I would rather have a rusty
• 6:18
  bar in the corner with
• 6:19
  smooth and just grip up.
• 6:23
  Now,
• 6:23
  these guys are lifting weights that I
• 6:25
  have never approached or
• 6:26
  even thought of approaching
• 6:27
  in my life before.
• 6:30
  Are you more of a new
• 6:31
  knurling or an old knurling person?
• 6:35
  So we got two new barbells at the gym,
• 6:38
  I don't know,
• 6:38
  six months ago or something.
• 6:40
  And I've only opened one of them,
• 6:41
  two new Bella bars, just your normal,
• 6:44
  right?
• 6:44
  But it is way...
• 6:47
  grippier way like tougher
• 6:49
  knurling than our others
• 6:51
  and it's so it's over in
• 6:53
  like this side where we
• 6:54
  keep our specialty bars
• 6:56
  like my personal barbell no
• 6:58
  one will touch it everyone
• 6:59
  is like that thing hurts so
• 7:00
  bad I use it every day like
• 7:02
  it doesn't bother me I get
• 7:04
  it but like like hayley
• 7:05
  will not use it for lifting
• 7:06
  she's like that thing tears up my legs
• 7:09
  I don't know.
• 7:10
  I mean, I have tights on most of the time.
• 7:11
  So but when I do hang cleans,
• 7:13
  if I have shorts on in the summer,
• 7:14
  not the good, not good to use.
• 7:16
  But like,
• 7:17
  I just feel like I better hook
• 7:19
  grip with it.
• 7:20
  Like it really grips.
• 7:21
  So for the most part, I like it.
• 7:24
  Yeah,
• 7:24
  I'd say same as long like it probably
• 7:26
  makes it that I have to chalk less.
• 7:28
  Yeah, because it's more grippy.
• 7:31
  I like it.
• 7:31
  I mean, I have sensitive skin.
• 7:33
  So like sometimes my hands get irritated,
• 7:36
  but mostly my hands will
• 7:38
  get irritated more from
• 7:39
  rope climbs than they will
• 7:40
  from the barbell.
• 7:42
  Like, yeah, that,
• 7:44
  that to me hurts my hands a lot more.
• 7:47
  my Ohio bar, even with like new knurling,
• 7:50
  wasn't that bad,
• 7:52
  but we've gotten some in
• 7:53
  the gym that were not Ohio
• 7:55
  bar and it is like sharp.
• 7:56
  Yeah.
• 7:58
  Um, it's weird.
• 7:58
  Sometimes it just comes.
• 8:00
  And I don't, I don't ever chalk.
• 8:02
  So like my, my personal bar at my,
• 8:04
  in my garage is like
• 8:06
  pristine because I never chalk.
• 8:10
  Um, and I guess I like that,
• 8:13
  but like at Polaris,
• 8:14
  I grabbed the old rusty smooth one.
• 8:17
  Because I just like it better.
• 8:20
  I'll wear grips if my hands
• 8:21
  get very sensitive just to protect.
• 8:25
  So that the hands are not a
• 8:27
  limiting factor but just
• 8:30
  can do the workout.
• 8:30
  Because if my hands are just hurting...
• 8:33
  And I'm like, ugh,
• 8:33
  should I just put on a grip?
• 8:35
  So it's just why I still
• 8:36
  like the finger holes.
• 8:37
  Like a lot of people have
• 8:38
  transitioned to the non,
• 8:41
  the more flop over ones.
• 8:42
  I hate those ones.
• 8:43
  Like I want to have the
• 8:44
  options of putting my
• 8:47
  fingers in the grips.
• 8:50
  Kenneth says the Rogue
• 8:51
  deadlift bar is super sharp.
• 8:54
  But I do love the grip.
• 8:59
  Just give me the option.
• 9:01
  I don't like it when I don't have it.
• 9:05
  Yeah.
• 9:07
  And that deadlift bar, Kenneth,
• 9:09
  doesn't have the spin that
• 9:11
  the Ohio bar does because
• 9:13
  it is designed just for deadlifting.
• 9:15
  So it doesn't have the spin
• 9:19
  or the whip like for an Olympic lift.
• 9:21
  Right.
• 9:23
  So that makes it tough.
• 9:25
  Yeah, I've never been a strap guy either.
• 9:26
  Yeah.
• 9:27
  Yeah.
• 9:29
  But if you're doing a thousand,
• 9:30
  forty thousand, twenty six pounds,
• 9:32
  I'm sure you need it.
• 9:33
  Yeah, you can't hold on to the bar.
• 9:35
  Yeah.
• 9:38
  Although the woman that set
• 9:39
  the world record like her
• 9:40
  strap wouldn't bite,
• 9:42
  she kept saying it wouldn't bite.
• 9:44
  And then so she had to do
• 9:46
  like a panic lift because
• 9:47
  she was almost out of time.
• 9:49
  And then she lifted up and
• 9:50
  then broke the world record.
• 9:52
  Geez.
• 9:53
  Lucy.
• 9:54
  Sometimes that adrenaline will kick in.
• 9:55
  Two women broke the world record.
• 9:57
  One did it,
• 9:58
  and then the next woman beat
• 9:59
  her to break it again.
• 10:01
  Oh, man.
• 10:02
  Andrea, that girl that first beat it,
• 10:04
  I think she had a stronger deadlift.
• 10:05
  She could have pulled more.
• 10:06
  Like,
• 10:07
  hers looked much smoother on the way up,
• 10:09
  but then the other one
• 10:09
  lifted after and then just
• 10:11
  went five pounds more.
• 10:13
  Yeah, it was insane.
• 10:15
  Like, I had goosebumps watching it.
• 10:16
  Yeah, it was good.
• 10:19
  Good stuff.
• 10:20
  Before we jump into CrossFit,
• 10:22
  one last thing.
• 10:23
  This show is kind of known
• 10:25
  for Jamie Nye's addiction to Reacher,
• 10:29
  and it's back.
• 10:31
  Jamie texted me on Sunday and said,
• 10:37
  have you watched it yet?
• 10:38
  And I said,
• 10:38
  I have not had time to jump into it yet.
• 10:41
  Then the next morning she said,
• 10:43
  I couldn't stop and I was
• 10:44
  up until two thirty in the morning.
• 10:48
  And you were like,
• 10:49
  I only have time for one.
• 10:50
  Right.
• 10:51
  So Monday I watched one
• 10:52
  cause I could not stay up.
• 10:53
  I was too tired.
• 10:55
  And then, but I have watched all four now.
• 10:58
  So I fell asleep last night
• 10:59
  trying to watch number four.
• 11:01
  So I'll probably watch it tonight.
• 11:03
  Number four is so, so good.
• 11:07
  I was just, I was wrecked since Friday.
• 11:10
  Friday took a lot out of me.
• 11:12
  So suit for.
• 11:15
  Every, every season is all new cast.
• 11:19
  Reacher's the only person
• 11:20
  reaching Reacher and his, his friend, um,
• 11:25
  Neely Neely are the only
• 11:26
  people that appear in every season.
• 11:30
  So episode four is going
• 11:33
  back and learning the
• 11:34
  backstory of this episode.
• 11:36
  And it was so good when you
• 11:39
  find out why and how everything happens.
• 11:43
  Um,
• 11:45
  It was so good.
• 11:46
  And now I'm hooked and now,
• 11:48
  but now I have to wait.
• 11:50
  I know that's what sucks, right?
• 11:51
  I hate being like on live.
• 11:55
  So I've asked this question
• 11:56
  before on other shows, but like,
• 11:58
  are you the person that
• 11:59
  likes to get them all
• 12:00
  dumped at once and binge them?
• 12:03
  Or do you want them released
• 12:04
  to you periodically over the season?
• 12:08
  I prefer to have them all
• 12:09
  out because I like something I'll have.
• 12:11
  I don't know.
• 12:11
  Like,
• 12:12
  I just hate waiting for one and then
• 12:15
  it'll come out on Thursday,
• 12:16
  but I'll be busy.
• 12:17
  So then I, you know,
• 12:18
  then I'm kind of behind,
• 12:20
  which makes it worse.
• 12:20
  Then if I watch it like
• 12:21
  Tuesday or something, I'm like, oh, man,
• 12:23
  I only have two days to wait.
• 12:24
  But then you're like antsy.
• 12:26
  I should have just waited.
• 12:29
  Yeah, lately,
• 12:31
  because the weather's been so bad,
• 12:32
  like Julie and I, the man on the inside,
• 12:36
  or is it man on the inside?
• 12:38
  The Ted Danson show?
• 12:39
  Is it Inside Man?
• 12:41
  Inside Man, something like that.
• 12:42
  That was good.
• 12:43
  It was, but we binged it in one afternoon.
• 12:45
  Yeah.
• 12:46
  right like but I like the
• 12:48
  every week release because
• 12:50
  it like it extends it out
• 12:51
  and I can enjoy it and I
• 12:53
  can talk about it longer
• 12:54
  and I can like really dive
• 12:56
  into it um because I do
• 12:58
  that with the pit like I'm
• 13:00
  waiting every week for the
• 13:01
  pit to come out I'm doing
• 13:02
  that now with reacher I
• 13:04
  feel like I just like would
• 13:06
  forget stuff from week to
• 13:07
  week that's the only thing
• 13:08
  like my memory is just like yeah
• 13:10
  Well,
• 13:10
  Reacher's really good about recaps
• 13:12
  before every episode.
• 13:15
  That's what I need.
• 13:16
  I need a small little, like,
• 13:17
  thirty seconds to a minute,
• 13:19
  and I'll be like, oh yeah.
• 13:20
  Yeah.
• 13:21
  yeah it's I mean I feel like
• 13:24
  it's a little bit of
• 13:24
  nostalgia for me like I
• 13:25
  think I've talked about
• 13:26
  this before like twenty
• 13:27
  four was like my favorite
• 13:28
  show and we would we
• 13:30
  watched it as a family like
• 13:31
  religiously every week so
• 13:33
  it I do I like that I just
• 13:35
  we just haven't had it in
• 13:36
  ages right like we're
• 13:37
  spoiled with Netflix and
• 13:38
  everything so just not used to it
• 13:41
  That's why I'm surprised
• 13:42
  you're not like into the pit because,
• 13:44
  and you may not have HBO, I don't know,
• 13:46
  but, or Max.
• 13:47
  We do.
• 13:48
  We have HBO.
• 13:49
  Because it is,
• 13:49
  every hour is an hour of the show.
• 13:52
  It is real time.
• 13:53
  I'll write it down.
• 13:55
  I'll have to watch that one.
• 13:58
  And so it's like,
• 13:59
  it starts at seven AM and
• 14:01
  right now they're at like three PM.
• 14:03
  Okay.
• 14:04
  Two PM, something like that.
• 14:06
  And it's all one day of
• 14:07
  events in this hospital.
• 14:09
  All right.
• 14:09
  It is, it is insane.
• 14:12
  Really good.
• 14:13
  But
• 14:14
  We're not here to talk about TV.
• 14:15
  We're here to talk about the
• 14:16
  world of CrossFit, twenty five point one.
• 14:20
  We have some high rocks news.
• 14:22
  We have people in and out
• 14:24
  and for different reasons.
• 14:27
  Plus the cross the CrossFit
• 14:30
  Athletes Council and put
• 14:32
  out their first public
• 14:33
  statement since being formed.
• 14:36
  And we'll look at the
• 14:36
  leaderboard of twenty five
• 14:37
  point one as well.
• 14:39
  So first of all,
• 14:40
  we had the open
• 14:41
  announcement last Thursday that
• 14:43
  It was done at Mayhem.
• 14:45
  I wanna get your guys'
• 14:47
  thoughts on how that went down.
• 14:52
  It was like loud in the gym
• 14:53
  when we were watching the release.
• 14:55
  So I feel like I didn't get
• 14:56
  to like experience it
• 14:58
  a whole lot.
• 15:00
  Um, but I saw the, I saw the announcer guy,
• 15:04
  which was one of the guys
• 15:05
  that Savan had like
• 15:06
  reviewed all the videos of
• 15:08
  thought that was good.
• 15:10
  Rory crushed it as normal.
• 15:11
  And I, and rich jumping out was amazing.
• 15:16
  Yeah.
• 15:16
  The whole thing was great.
• 15:18
  Just when they actually went
• 15:18
  to the workout,
• 15:19
  I wish that the guy that
• 15:20
  announced it had a little like Mike,
• 15:23
  cause that part of the
• 15:24
  announcement was just low volume,
• 15:27
  but like everything else
• 15:28
  about the announcement
• 15:29
  minus the announcement of the workout was,
• 15:31
  um, very well done.
• 15:35
  Yeah.
• 15:36
  I, um,
• 15:38
  I thought the way they set up the floor,
• 15:40
  where the athletes got to
• 15:42
  run kind of through the crowd,
• 15:44
  onto the floor, through the rig.
• 15:46
  I thought that was perfect.
• 15:48
  It got the community involved.
• 15:50
  They had four to five
• 15:51
  hundred people in the
• 15:52
  building at the time of the announcement,
• 15:54
  which is I've been to two
• 15:56
  open announcements,
• 15:58
  one probably that big in
• 15:59
  two thousand eighteen and
• 16:02
  then in two thousand twenty two,
• 16:04
  one about half that size.
• 16:07
  Yeah, it looked packed in there.
• 16:09
  so yeah I thought that was
• 16:11
  awesome the crowd was
• 16:12
  definitely hyped and they
• 16:14
  did everything they could
• 16:16
  to get them more hyped with
• 16:19
  every trick every twist
• 16:20
  every everything along the
• 16:22
  way and I'd love that that
• 16:24
  community was that involved
• 16:26
  in the announcement I think
• 16:28
  that's the piece we need
• 16:31
  and going forward I hope
• 16:33
  the other places do the same
• 16:37
  I don't,
• 16:37
  it's going to be tough to match
• 16:39
  rich taking the floor.
• 16:43
  But you can still get the crowd hyped.
• 16:46
  You can and get them involved and,
• 16:49
  and do all that kind of stuff.
• 16:51
  Right.
• 16:52
  I, the bar is really high.
• 16:53
  I will grant you.
• 16:55
  But I think the Mayhem Gym
• 16:57
  is probably one of the best
• 16:58
  places to start the Open.
• 17:00
  I think that was a good call by CrossFit.
• 17:05
  The athletes were great.
• 17:07
  Haley got lost a little bit in the race.
• 17:09
  I felt like she was off to
• 17:10
  the side and the focus was
• 17:12
  a lot more on the...
• 17:13
  I guess the guys races,
• 17:15
  maybe that's just how I saw
• 17:16
  it a little bit more.
• 17:17
  I agree.
• 17:19
  But yeah, I mean,
• 17:20
  I think mayhem was a solid
• 17:22
  choice for a first announcement,
• 17:25
  obviously bringing rich on there.
• 17:26
  Like just the crowd went
• 17:28
  crazy with those shorts too.
• 17:30
  They're going to have to
• 17:31
  sell those shorts because I
• 17:32
  feel like so many people
• 17:34
  were talking about it.
• 17:35
  Well, on the post show,
• 17:37
  they actually talked to Dre
• 17:39
  while they were live.
• 17:41
  Like Rich was talking to him
• 17:42
  on the phone and he said he
• 17:44
  could source them.
• 17:45
  And I guess they are going to come out.
• 17:47
  Wow.
• 17:48
  The red, white and blue shorts.
• 17:52
  And I will say it is cheesy as it was.
• 17:55
  I was in for every bit of it.
• 17:58
  Like I thought it was it was awesome.
• 18:00
  Well,
• 18:00
  the only thing that I thought was
• 18:01
  interesting too,
• 18:02
  is like you have Russian
• 18:03
  Roman in there too.
• 18:05
  And I'm like, oh my God,
• 18:06
  this like Rocky four right now.
• 18:08
  Right.
• 18:08
  Right.
• 18:11
  And I was like, I was like, I wonder,
• 18:11
  yeah.
• 18:12
  I was like,
• 18:12
  I wonder if like Roman is okay
• 18:15
  with this right now.
• 18:16
  And, um, yeah.
• 18:18
  Well,
• 18:18
  Roman's competing with the American flag.
• 18:21
  Is he now?
• 18:22
  I believe on the leaderboard,
• 18:23
  if you pull them up,
• 18:24
  it's got the American flag.
• 18:25
  Yeah.
• 18:25
  I mean,
• 18:27
  I guess he couldn't have anything before,
• 18:29
  so I don't know.
• 18:30
  I was surprised that there
• 18:31
  was nothing about Lazar, though.
• 18:34
  Like,
• 18:34
  maybe a small thing to begin the season,
• 18:37
  like some sort of tribute.
• 18:38
  I thought that they were
• 18:39
  going to do something.
• 18:43
  Maybe they'll do it in another week,
• 18:44
  but I don't know.
• 18:47
  I feel like I thought that
• 18:48
  they were going to do something.
• 18:51
  I feel like Mayhem's done their part.
• 18:53
  Yeah, I mean, they did the tribute video,
• 18:55
  too, at the games or...
• 18:58
  Was it during the games that
• 18:59
  they did or shortly after?
• 19:03
  Yeah, I don't know how I feel about that.
• 19:06
  I mean, we've done a lot of tributes.
• 19:08
  Mayhemstone tribute.
• 19:08
  But just to begin the year,
• 19:12
  I think would have been... Yeah.
• 19:17
  But these events aren't
• 19:19
  CrossFit run anymore, are they?
• 19:21
  Are they?
• 19:22
  That I don't know.
• 19:23
  I'm not sure.
• 19:24
  That's a good question.
• 19:24
  I'd have to think about that
• 19:25
  a little more.
• 19:25
  Yeah.
• 19:30
  The only thing I will say is
• 19:32
  a point that Carolyn made
• 19:33
  last week about there
• 19:35
  needing to be women and men races.
• 19:39
  Because Haley didn't have a racer,
• 19:43
  the women got forgotten.
• 19:44
  I agree.
• 19:45
  During the broadcast.
• 19:47
  It was about Austin and
• 19:49
  Roman until Rich started to catch up.
• 19:51
  Then they brought him back in the fold,
• 19:53
  but Haley never got brought back in.
• 19:55
  Like unless you just do one guy, one girl,
• 19:57
  and it's just like a one V
• 19:58
  one type thing.
• 19:59
  Like when you have three
• 20:00
  guys and one girl at the,
• 20:02
  and she's like on the outside,
• 20:03
  like it just pushed her a little bit.
• 20:06
  Yeah.
• 20:07
  So that would be my only
• 20:08
  criticism of the broadcast
• 20:11
  is that she got lost in the
• 20:13
  shuffle because of what
• 20:15
  happened with rich and the hype.
• 20:17
  And then the other two going
• 20:19
  out so fast and,
• 20:21
  Um,
• 20:22
  and then rich reeling in Roman became
• 20:23
  the story because Austin
• 20:25
  was so far out in front.
• 20:27
  Um,
• 20:27
  and then she just kind of got lost in
• 20:28
  that.
• 20:29
  And for someone as popular as she is,
• 20:32
  you don't want her to get
• 20:33
  lost in the shuffle.
• 20:37
  I was surprised with her score.
• 20:39
  I mean,
• 20:39
  Haley typically is excellent at
• 20:42
  burpee workouts, but I mean, she wasn't,
• 20:46
  it was her score to one or something.
• 20:49
  Okay.
• 20:51
  And if you look at her
• 20:53
  twenty four point one,
• 20:54
  it wasn't anything great.
• 20:57
  But I think at that point we
• 20:58
  knew she was like kind of
• 21:00
  just getting in and she had
• 21:00
  been working on strength.
• 21:01
  So we kind of expected that
• 21:03
  I almost would have thought
• 21:06
  she was doing that again.
• 21:08
  Oh, OK.
• 21:09
  She said that she has not
• 21:10
  worked hit cardio, met cons, anything.
• 21:13
  She's been working total
• 21:14
  strength and that that
• 21:17
  won't come back for another few weeks.
• 21:19
  I feel like.
• 21:21
  I mean,
• 21:22
  you don't want to pass up the
• 21:23
  opportunities to do these announcements,
• 21:25
  but I almost feel like
• 21:26
  CrossFit needs to do a
• 21:26
  better job of picking the
• 21:28
  right athlete for the workout.
• 21:30
  I agree with that.
• 21:33
  Like, you want to showcase.
• 21:34
  Yeah,
• 21:35
  you want people that will have great
• 21:38
  scores.
• 21:39
  Yeah.
• 21:41
  And she is going to get left
• 21:43
  off if she's forty, fifty reps back.
• 21:45
  Like, it's...
• 21:47
  She said a couple times that
• 21:50
  she refused every other opportunity,
• 21:53
  turned down every other
• 21:55
  opportunity she ever had
• 21:56
  because she was afraid to do it.
• 21:59
  Well,
• 21:59
  she definitely has more confidence
• 22:00
  right now,
• 22:00
  like in doing things that she
• 22:02
  wouldn't have done before
• 22:03
  in terms of putting herself out there,
• 22:05
  national Anthem, stuff like that.
• 22:07
  Um, so kudos to that.
• 22:10
  Cause it's,
• 22:10
  it's hard to do an announcement.
• 22:11
  Like you learn the workout,
• 22:13
  like it is so much easier to kind of, um,
• 22:16
  wait a few days or even
• 22:17
  look at some scores,
• 22:18
  study some strategies and then do it.
• 22:20
  Like if you do it right
• 22:21
  after like your Guinea pig
• 22:23
  for the workout, like you're,
• 22:26
  not putting yourself in the
• 22:27
  best position to get a top
• 22:28
  score so the other thing I
• 22:31
  noticed is uh it was well
• 22:32
  over a hundred thousand on
• 22:33
  the stream uh consecutively
• 22:36
  through the whole
• 22:37
  announcement what is it
• 22:38
  normally or what has it
• 22:40
  been I guess I should say I
• 22:41
  think like eighty like not
• 22:44
  quite a hundred thousand um
• 22:49
  so I think it that was pretty good um
• 22:53
  I thought I thought ro rory
• 22:55
  was awesome and they need
• 22:58
  to get him back doing more
• 22:59
  of this stuff his voice and
• 23:01
  his demeanor the way he
• 23:03
  does it is so good on the
• 23:04
  floor um it's I don't know
• 23:09
  it's hard to describe but
• 23:10
  it just is it's just a
• 23:12
  really good job and then um
• 23:15
  I liked boz in the booth
• 23:18
  talking about kind of the
• 23:20
  construction of the workout
• 23:21
  and what they're looking for.
• 23:23
  And I thought that was a
• 23:24
  little bit of a different
• 23:25
  take than we've seen in the booth.
• 23:29
  And then the only other
• 23:30
  thing I really wanted was
• 23:31
  when it all dropped for Roe
• 23:33
  and Boz to rip their pants off.
• 23:35
  I was just about to say that.
• 23:37
  Roe versus Boz for one last time.
• 23:41
  That would have been cool.
• 23:42
  That would have been awesome.
• 23:44
  Yeah,
• 23:45
  that's the only other thing I wanted
• 23:46
  at the end is for them to, like,
• 23:48
  pull the rich, do the tearaway pants,
• 23:51
  and have their own whatever
• 23:53
  shorts on and go after it
• 23:55
  on Roe vs. Boz one final time.
• 23:59
  Yeah.
• 24:01
  I'm surprised they did it with him there.
• 24:05
  Yeah.
• 24:09
  So, a couple things in here.
• 24:12
  Um...
• 24:17
  uh reps were they as bad as
• 24:18
  some people are making them
• 24:19
  out to be uh austin's were
• 24:21
  bad austin's were pretty
• 24:22
  bad um and he he took it
• 24:26
  like hiller criticized him
• 24:28
  and he he said that I don't
• 24:30
  know that's not me so he
• 24:34
  just made a joke of it and
• 24:36
  and took it well but yeah I
• 24:39
  mean his right arm unless
• 24:41
  he has some kind of a
• 24:42
  restriction on his elbow
• 24:44
  was lacking extension almost every time
• 24:50
  Craig says,
• 24:51
  do you think Teal will submit a score?
• 24:53
  This is what I'm going to say.
• 24:54
  I texted this to Carolyn earlier.
• 24:57
  One, I do believe she is going to.
• 24:59
  I cannot wait until Tuesday
• 25:00
  when these questions are done.
• 25:02
  Agreed.
• 25:04
  On Tuesday,
• 25:04
  we will know who submitted scores,
• 25:07
  who's in, who's out.
• 25:08
  We don't need to see the
• 25:10
  damn posts anymore.
• 25:12
  And we can just move on.
• 25:15
  And everybody can do what
• 25:16
  they're doing for the
• 25:17
  season and we can cover
• 25:19
  whatever we're covering.
• 25:20
  But damn, I'm tired.
• 25:22
  I'm tired of guessing.
• 25:26
  Bubba asked,
• 25:26
  do you think Haley would have
• 25:27
  been better off doing
• 25:28
  twenty five point two with
• 25:30
  Emily and Sydney?
• 25:31
  I do.
• 25:32
  Yes.
• 25:32
  Especially if it's like twenty point two.
• 25:35
  Like with double unders,
• 25:37
  dumbbell thrusters and toaster bars,
• 25:39
  like all three of those would be a great,
• 25:41
  great race.
• 25:42
  Although I don't know,
• 25:43
  unless for dumbbell unders have approved.
• 25:45
  Oh, that's right.
• 25:46
  That wouldn't have been, but I, I,
• 25:48
  I do think it would have been better,
• 25:50
  but I don't think we'll see
• 25:50
  a twenty minute one after this one.
• 25:53
  I don't know.
• 25:53
  I think we're going to see a
• 25:54
  twenty minute workout.
• 25:55
  Like,
• 25:55
  I think there's going to be a ten
• 25:56
  minute and a twenty minute.
• 25:57
  Lord, please.
• 25:58
  No, I just think.
• 26:02
  Fifteen was seemed long today.
• 26:06
  think we're going to get a
• 26:07
  twenty minute or you all
• 26:08
  like it or it's the twenty point five.
• 26:10
  It's the wall ball rowing
• 26:12
  and ring muscle like that.
• 26:13
  That one's still on the table.
• 26:15
  Same with the twenty point
• 26:16
  two that people have been
• 26:17
  speaking of the double
• 26:21
  scored workout with
• 26:23
  thrusters and then chest of
• 26:24
  our stuff and then a lift
• 26:26
  after is still on the table
• 26:27
  to like there's still a few
• 26:28
  from those years that that
• 26:30
  could get picked.
• 26:32
  They did say I can't
• 26:33
  remember where it was.
• 26:36
  that they thought for the
• 26:37
  open to be most effective,
• 26:39
  it should be longer workouts.
• 26:41
  Right.
• 26:42
  Three longer workouts.
• 26:43
  Yeah.
• 26:45
  But.
• 26:49
  So, yeah.
• 26:52
  Yes.
• 26:53
  Yeah, we get to the workout itself.
• 26:57
  So it's a fifteen minute
• 26:59
  AMRAP of ascending burpees
• 27:03
  and dumbbell hang clean and jerks.
• 27:08
  And then two lunges in between each set.
• 27:13
  Thoughts on the workout as a whole?
• 27:17
  On paper,
• 27:18
  it looks a lot like the one from
• 27:20
  last year, but it's a different workout.
• 27:23
  Like the movements of the
• 27:25
  dumbbell and the burpees lateral over,
• 27:27
  like it seems very similar.
• 27:30
  But the time domain is not.
• 27:33
  So it's a little bit
• 27:35
  different in terms of pacing, crashing.
• 27:41
  Ascending reps are always harder.
• 27:43
  Yeah.
• 27:44
  Yeah.
• 27:45
  They just, they suck.
• 27:47
  You get into that dense set
• 27:49
  and you're like, I'm here forever.
• 27:50
  And the time eats up all of
• 27:52
  a sudden at the end, you're like, well,
• 27:53
  and I'm out of time.
• 27:56
  I think it was a dumbbell
• 27:57
  workout more than like last year.
• 27:59
  I feel like it was a burpee workout.
• 28:01
  I think this was a dumbbell workout.
• 28:08
  I don't know.
• 28:10
  I thought it was more burpee breathing.
• 28:17
  I feel like that was my limiting factor.
• 28:19
  But the dumbbell did get hard.
• 28:22
  Annoying hard.
• 28:26
  But at the same time, you're like,
• 28:27
  you're not going to miss this.
• 28:28
  Suck it up.
• 28:30
  But then I'm like... But I
• 28:34
  felt it was more burpees
• 28:35
  slash breathing and stuff like that.
• 28:39
  I mean, I would assume it's based on your,
• 28:42
  yeah.
• 28:42
  So it's the type of athlete you are.
• 28:44
  Like, I love burpees.
• 28:46
  Like,
• 28:46
  that's almost never going to be my
• 28:49
  limiter.
• 28:50
  It's burpees,
• 28:51
  but the cycle speed of the
• 28:52
  dumbbell can play a big factor.
• 28:54
  Yeah,
• 28:54
  that's where I was getting eaten
• 28:55
  alive was dumbbell speed.
• 29:03
  So Bubba, just like me,
• 29:04
  said it was purely burpees.
• 29:07
  um the pack says if you're
• 29:09
  kristen holta it was a
• 29:11
  burpee workout said it
• 29:12
  herself that surprises me
• 29:14
  that she says it was a burp
• 29:15
  because she's that's why
• 29:17
  she did so well it's
• 29:18
  because well she's good at
• 29:20
  burpees she's always so
• 29:21
  good at burpees like she's
• 29:22
  right she's won or got like second
• 29:26
  Like the one year it was Emma Carey,
• 29:29
  then her in the dumbbell
• 29:33
  snatch with burpee box jump overs.
• 29:35
  She does want any burpee workout.
• 29:37
  And the specifically when it's longer,
• 29:39
  that favors Kristen Holt even more.
• 29:42
  So this is right up her
• 29:43
  alley for a home run.
• 29:46
  We've got a couple of coaches in the chat.
• 29:48
  Justin Kotler was completely
• 29:49
  a dumbbell workout for Alex.
• 29:51
  Super slow cycle speed led to a meh score.
• 29:56
  Yeah, at a certain point,
• 29:56
  you just kind of run out of time.
• 29:58
  If you don't have the right
• 30:00
  cycle speed or take a
• 30:02
  little bit of time to pick
• 30:03
  up the dumbbell, you're like, oh,
• 30:05
  I have so much time.
• 30:06
  It's only this much in.
• 30:07
  All of a sudden,
• 30:07
  it's like twelve and a half,
• 30:08
  and you're like, oh,
• 30:10
  I'm not going to make it
• 30:11
  where I thought I did.
• 30:13
  So yeah,
• 30:14
  time just starts accumulating
• 30:16
  faster towards the end than you think.
• 30:19
  Tristan Patrick, dumbbell workout,
• 30:22
  which did surprise me.
• 30:26
  Yeah.
• 30:29
  Uh, then Tristan geckos,
• 30:30
  Justin saw that a few of
• 30:31
  mine to Justin dumbbell,
• 30:33
  not heavy for him either.
• 30:36
  Yeah.
• 30:36
  I wouldn't say a thirty five
• 30:38
  pound dumbbell is heavy for me,
• 30:39
  but I don't know.
• 30:41
  I was just like watching videos.
• 30:44
  I'm like, you know,
• 30:47
  eight seconds for every
• 30:49
  three burpees consistently
• 30:50
  all the way through.
• 30:51
  But I'm like,
• 30:53
  ten, twelve seconds for the dumbbell.
• 30:56
  It was just significantly
• 30:58
  slower on the dumbbell for me.
• 31:00
  She's long and was too dippy
• 31:02
  instead of hingy on the dumbbell.
• 31:05
  Yeah.
• 31:06
  Only place you can talk
• 31:07
  about being dippy and hingy
• 31:08
  and people know what you're
• 31:09
  talking about.
• 31:12
  Yeah, I felt like my middle rounds,
• 31:13
  like even just my dumbbell
• 31:15
  clean was slow.
• 31:16
  Like at first I'm kind of
• 31:17
  getting the dumbbell much
• 31:19
  closer to the body and then boom up.
• 31:21
  And then towards the end,
• 31:21
  it's getting away from me
• 31:23
  and a little bit slower.
• 31:25
  And that cycle speed just
• 31:26
  kind of slows down.
• 31:29
  It's crazy.
• 31:30
  Cause for me now being and
• 31:32
  going down to a thirty five
• 31:33
  pound dumbbell, like the,
• 31:36
  I went unbroken on my dumbbells.
• 31:38
  Yeah.
• 31:39
  I had to like concentrate on
• 31:41
  not letting it become a snatch.
• 31:44
  Yes.
• 31:44
  To, to hit the shoulder.
• 31:45
  That's what was hard for me,
• 31:47
  like to really focus on
• 31:49
  like hit the shoulder and
• 31:50
  get into a rhythm.
• 31:50
  Um,
• 31:53
  but it was especially pulling from the
• 31:54
  floor that you'd like,
• 31:56
  you want to snatch that first rep.
• 31:58
  Yeah.
• 32:00
  I do like that rule.
• 32:01
  Normally I don't,
• 32:02
  but to think about the
• 32:04
  amount of people that will
• 32:05
  go from the floor to the
• 32:07
  hang or to the shoulder
• 32:08
  right away and affect the score.
• 32:10
  If they do that every single
• 32:11
  round and not get penalized, cause you're,
• 32:13
  you're going to see it.
• 32:14
  Right.
• 32:15
  At least it made it that it
• 32:17
  wasn't a rule and everyone
• 32:18
  just were able to start.
• 32:19
  You don't have like a bunch
• 32:20
  of people getting, you know,
• 32:23
  six to seven extra reps in their workout.
• 32:25
  That would have been no reps.
• 32:27
  Right.
• 32:29
  So I do like that.
• 32:30
  And I had no dippy because mine,
• 32:31
  I just did it strict.
• 32:34
  Literally just everything was strict.
• 32:36
  At one point, I'm in the round of fifteen.
• 32:38
  I get done my fifteen
• 32:39
  burpees and I just start lunging.
• 32:42
  And then my judge, my coach is like,
• 32:46
  you just got done burpees.
• 32:47
  And I'm like, three lunges in.
• 32:49
  I'm like, yeah, I know.
• 32:50
  And I came back and I was so confused.
• 32:52
  I was like, oh, my gosh, I'm an idiot.
• 32:55
  Like,
• 32:56
  why couldn't this be like in the
• 32:57
  beginning where I can just start over?
• 32:59
  I'm like, got to keep going.
• 33:00
  So then like those next reps,
• 33:01
  I was like going away faster.
• 33:03
  I'm trying to make up time.
• 33:04
  Yeah.
• 33:05
  It's funny you say that
• 33:06
  because I was watching my
• 33:08
  friend Amanda Hari's video.
• 33:09
  I was just going to say I
• 33:10
  watched hers too.
• 33:11
  And every time she lunged,
• 33:12
  she came in to grab the dumbbell.
• 33:14
  Yes.
• 33:15
  And on her video, she's like, yeah,
• 33:17
  you're supposed to do burpees first,
• 33:18
  so don't do what I'm doing.
• 33:19
  It was good.
• 33:21
  I liked her video.
• 33:23
  Yeah.
• 33:26
  And then at the end, she said,
• 33:27
  all these professionals
• 33:28
  telling you it doesn't
• 33:30
  settle in until minutes ten or twelve.
• 33:33
  She said, they're all lying.
• 33:37
  That's about where I would
• 33:38
  say it settled in.
• 33:40
  Okay.
• 33:41
  Mine settled in on the third burpee.
• 33:48
  More burpees for you.
• 33:50
  Where'd you do it?
• 33:53
  I did it at Polaris,
• 33:55
  but I took my wife over and
• 33:57
  she judged me and then, yeah.
• 34:01
  Nice.
• 34:01
  Did it this afternoon.
• 34:03
  My coach at Polaris is in
• 34:04
  the top fifty right now.
• 34:07
  Um, so he's made semifinals before, uh,
• 34:12
  Alexander majors.
• 34:14
  Um, he's like tied for forty seventh,
• 34:16
  I think right now,
• 34:17
  but he is not what I would call.
• 34:19
  This would not be a home run
• 34:20
  workout for him in my book.
• 34:23
  Um, cause he's a bigger athlete.
• 34:25
  Um,
• 34:27
  although like Dallin and Hopper and all
• 34:29
  those guys did great on this.
• 34:31
  Yeah, I was just about to say, like,
• 34:33
  Dallin was doing, like,
• 34:34
  four lunges each time instead of, like,
• 34:36
  most people's five lunges.
• 34:38
  And, like, he just moved so well.
• 34:41
  Like,
• 34:42
  I wasn't expecting him to get that
• 34:44
  high of a score for, you know,
• 34:46
  his body frame and stuff.
• 34:48
  But he's so fit.
• 34:50
  I can't wait to see what Colton does.
• 34:51
  That's why I say I feel like
• 34:53
  this is a dumbbell workout, though,
• 34:54
  because, like, Dallin didn't do –
• 34:57
  world-class in twenty four
• 34:59
  point one he did good but
• 35:01
  like he did good but like
• 35:03
  he did excellent at this
• 35:06
  one yeah a cat said six for
• 35:09
  me stubby legs I definitely
• 35:12
  took five steps every time
• 35:16
  yeah well let's share um
• 35:21
  we'll start with beyond the
• 35:21
  whiteboard did a graph I'm
• 35:24
  gonna pull that up
• 35:25
  shout out beyond the
• 35:27
  whiteboard so carolyn let's
• 35:33
  walk us through this so
• 35:35
  those are like the
• 35:36
  preliminary data they'll
• 35:37
  probably come out with some
• 35:38
  more tomorrow um normally
• 35:40
  on the monday they will but
• 35:42
  it just gives you a um
• 35:45
  percentile of where you're
• 35:47
  looking to hit the workout
• 35:49
  from people that have logged.
• 35:51
  So obviously for the one
• 35:53
  percent that's looking to move on,
• 35:55
  you know,
• 35:55
  getting as close to the ninety
• 35:56
  nine on this one would be a good score.
• 35:58
  So you have it separated men
• 36:00
  and women and then with the
• 36:02
  scores of where things normally are.
• 36:06
  So what's top ninety nine?
• 36:08
  Two sixty four for the woman,
• 36:09
  two sixty five for the men.
• 36:13
  So you're looking in the burpees,
• 36:17
  I believe, of the thirty.
• 36:20
  is no no that's not it no
• 36:25
  just in the cleaning it's
• 36:28
  into the burpees gotcha so
• 36:30
  uh that's basically where
• 36:37
  haley was any um are we
• 36:39
  sharing any scores you guys
• 36:40
  want to keep them secret
• 36:41
  till tomorrow I might redo mine really
• 36:48
  Heck yeah.
• 36:49
  Well, cause you messed up your lunch.
• 36:51
  Yeah.
• 36:54
  I mean, I felt like I left some,
• 36:56
  some reps on the table.
• 36:58
  I mean, I have a good score right now,
• 36:59
  but it's not,
• 37:00
  I feel like I should be
• 37:01
  better at the number than I have,
• 37:03
  but we'll see.
• 37:06
  I was North of three hundred.
• 37:09
  I looked at, I looked at signups.
• 37:13
  think for the men it it's
• 37:15
  right around twelve hundred
• 37:16
  that was going into the
• 37:18
  weekend and the women were
• 37:19
  high nine hundred for the
• 37:21
  one percent okay hopefully
• 37:23
  if there's signups through
• 37:24
  the weekend again I have
• 37:26
  not looked since like
• 37:27
  friday um that might those
• 37:30
  numbers might go up a
• 37:31
  little bit I'm sure they
• 37:32
  will I'm sure there's gonna
• 37:34
  be some last minute signups
• 37:36
  Like my,
• 37:37
  my rule of thumb for my workouts and,
• 37:39
  and redos, it's like,
• 37:41
  if it's supposed to be a
• 37:42
  good workout for you on
• 37:42
  week one and I can be
• 37:44
  within closer towards the top,
• 37:46
  then I'm like, okay,
• 37:47
  let's try to go for the open.
• 37:48
  If it's a bad workout for me,
• 37:50
  then I'm like, okay, one and done.
• 37:51
  I'll get the one percent
• 37:52
  type thing or whatever I need to move on.
• 37:55
  So this workout,
• 37:56
  I feel like I could do a
• 37:58
  little bit better to get,
• 37:59
  put myself in a position
• 38:00
  where I can do well,
• 38:02
  like I did last year and
• 38:03
  possibly like win money or
• 38:05
  something and not knowing
• 38:07
  what the rest is.
• 38:08
  I'm like, so that's just how I view it.
• 38:11
  So it's like, if I can,
• 38:13
  come out of first week
• 38:14
  knowing that I I did my
• 38:15
  best it'll be what it'll be
• 38:17
  like I'm not expecting to
• 38:18
  to win this workout at all
• 38:20
  or even be close to winning
• 38:21
  it but just at least be
• 38:22
  within reach of being
• 38:24
  consistent then that's
• 38:27
  always a goal of mine what
• 38:29
  no three forty kristen
• 38:30
  holta come on carolyn um do
• 38:34
  asks are we surprised that
• 38:35
  men and women have similar scores
• 38:39
  Normally,
• 38:40
  I would say I would think the men
• 38:41
  would be just their shoulder endurance.
• 38:44
  But I think the women have
• 38:45
  the advantage of their height.
• 38:48
  So their burpees can be
• 38:51
  faster and just less
• 38:53
  distance to move that dumbbells.
• 38:55
  And most women move the
• 38:56
  thirty-five a little bit easier.
• 38:59
  So I think it works out to
• 39:01
  be about the same.
• 39:02
  So I'm not surprised that
• 39:02
  they're very similar reps.
• 39:05
  But I do think the top score
• 39:06
  will be for sure from men,
• 39:08
  just like the explosive power of burpees,
• 39:10
  the lunging capacity of
• 39:11
  guys for certain distances.
• 39:15
  engine in general I think
• 39:16
  like the top five scores I
• 39:18
  wouldn't be surprised I
• 39:20
  mean it would probably be
• 39:21
  colton and then it'll
• 39:23
  probably be mirror gym will
• 39:24
  probably be hold those but
• 39:25
  I don't think by a lot like
• 39:27
  I don't think there's a
• 39:27
  whole lot to gain there on
• 39:29
  hold this time yeah hold
• 39:31
  does look good yeah I I was
• 39:34
  I was thinking uh mirror gym as well
• 39:38
  She had a high rocks this weekend.
• 39:39
  So I think she had a one this weekend.
• 39:40
  I thought I saw.
• 39:41
  So I'm not sure if she did
• 39:42
  it before she's waiting for after.
• 39:44
  Cause it looked like she was
• 39:45
  redoing workouts a lot last year.
• 39:48
  So she might not have the
• 39:49
  opportunity to do it as much this weekend,
• 39:52
  but I still see her smashing it.
• 39:56
  Well, I was really happy with my score.
• 39:58
  I'll say that.
• 39:59
  My goal was I wanted to get
• 40:01
  into the round of fifteens
• 40:03
  because my burpees are so slow.
• 40:06
  And I almost finished the
• 40:08
  round of fifteens.
• 40:08
  Nice.
• 40:08
  I missed it by one lunge.
• 40:10
  That's excellent.
• 40:12
  So you got one length of the lunge?
• 40:15
  Yep.
• 40:15
  Nice.
• 40:16
  And couldn't get back.
• 40:17
  And I was really trying to
• 40:19
  get it finished when I knew I was close.
• 40:22
  But I just missed it.
• 40:24
  But I will say that it is as
• 40:26
  easy as the lunges have
• 40:27
  felt in years for me.
• 40:29
  It really was just the
• 40:30
  burpees that slowed me down.
• 40:32
  Yeah, that's tough.
• 40:36
  But that means that's what I
• 40:37
  got to work on, right?
• 40:41
  Yep.
• 40:41
  Burpee, burpee, burpee.
• 40:46
  I feel like barbell spin did
• 40:47
  a good job doing their
• 40:49
  teams and getting hype up there.
• 40:52
  Um, shout out to them.
• 40:53
  Shout out to team oval team.
• 40:54
  Cause that's my team.
• 40:56
  You're on John Young's team, right?
• 40:57
  Yeah.
• 40:57
  John picked John.
• 40:58
  I thought I saw him repost your state.
• 41:00
  He picked me first.
• 41:02
  I was shocked.
• 41:03
  So I felt like I had to like,
• 41:04
  this should be a pretty
• 41:05
  good workout for me.
• 41:06
  So I felt like I had to
• 41:09
  really go all in on this one.
• 41:11
  That's cool.
• 41:13
  Yep.
• 41:14
  So I finished with ninety nine.
• 41:16
  Would have been really cool
• 41:16
  to say a three digit Gretzky.
• 41:19
  Redo it, Scott.
• 41:20
  Do it tomorrow.
• 41:23
  That's not going to happen.
• 41:26
  But anyway, yeah.
• 41:31
  So anything left in the open
• 41:32
  that you guys want to talk about?
• 41:36
  No,
• 41:36
  we kind of talked about what we think
• 41:37
  next week might be, so I think we're.
• 41:41
  I mean,
• 41:41
  I feel like it's going to kind of
• 41:42
  take the same trend as last year,
• 41:44
  quite honestly.
• 41:47
  Like I could totally see
• 41:48
  that like something with double unders.
• 41:54
  I think the repeat might be week three.
• 41:57
  I don't know.
• 41:57
  The twenty point five like.
• 42:00
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 42:02
  I mean,
• 42:02
  it gets you your gymnastics that
• 42:04
  you usually have.
• 42:05
  Right.
• 42:05
  Yeah.
• 42:07
  uh Shelly Young pops in here
• 42:09
  to say consider yourself
• 42:10
  special he didn't even pick
• 42:12
  his own mother to be on his
• 42:13
  team I thought you I for
• 42:15
  some reason I thought
• 42:16
  Shelly got picked like in
• 42:18
  the whole list towards the
• 42:19
  end maybe not no loyalty
• 42:24
  yeah I consider myself
• 42:26
  that's man it better be a
• 42:29
  cute granddaughter because
• 42:30
  if not that's done
• 42:34
  He wasn't even picking some
• 42:35
  of his own athletes,
• 42:36
  so he was being kind of savage.
• 42:44
  Yeah.
• 42:45
  Oh,
• 42:45
  it was random after they did their picks.
• 42:47
  I see.
• 42:48
  Okay.
• 42:50
  What did they do?
• 42:51
  A top five or something and then random?
• 42:53
  I think they did.
• 42:54
  They did ten men, I believe,
• 42:55
  and I think they did six or
• 42:56
  seven women each and then
• 42:59
  went off and finished the draft.
• 43:03
  You should have put the
• 43:04
  hashtag in Carolyn.
• 43:05
  I know I should have.
• 43:08
  We'll have to do that next year.
• 43:09
  Cause I, I think that's really cool.
• 43:10
  Yeah.
• 43:12
  Yeah.
• 43:14
  It's so funny when you, when you,
• 43:15
  when you think about that, you just don't,
• 43:17
  am I going to get enough
• 43:18
  people to sign up or are we
• 43:19
  going to look like a fool or, you know,
• 43:22
  but we've been around a little bit.
• 43:23
  So, um,
• 43:27
  Anyway, I did want to bring up one thing.
• 43:30
  It's not in the rundown,
• 43:32
  and I'm looking real quick to see,
• 43:35
  but Siobhan did release a
• 43:37
  behind-the-scenes, behind-the-scenes,
• 43:38
  behind-the-scenes for CrossFit Games,
• 43:40
  episode one.
• 43:42
  It does not appear to still be up,
• 43:45
  and he said,
• 43:46
  go watch it because it might
• 43:48
  not be there long, a day or two ago.
• 43:52
  Oh, jeez.
• 43:54
  I do want to say it was...
• 43:58
  Tough to watch.
• 44:01
  It never even gets to the
• 44:02
  competitive part of the games.
• 44:05
  It is only at where they go
• 44:08
  in to get the gear and go
• 44:11
  rock fitting them for everything.
• 44:13
  And that's really where it all is.
• 44:17
  But there is a long
• 44:18
  conversation with Lazar and
• 44:20
  it is really tough to watch.
• 44:25
  Not that I'm saying that we
• 44:27
  shouldn't watch it or that
• 44:28
  we shouldn't see it or,
• 44:30
  because I think it showed,
• 44:32
  it was a great depiction of who Lazar is.
• 44:36
  And just because I knew him,
• 44:41
  I love the guy and it really
• 44:43
  depicted who he was um it
• 44:46
  just was a tough watch but
• 44:48
  the rest of it was your
• 44:50
  typical behind the scenes
• 44:51
  lots of good footage of
• 44:53
  goofy stuff that was
• 44:54
  happening um lots of stuff like that um
• 45:00
  But during the Lazar thing,
• 45:01
  he does talk about event
• 45:02
  one and what his plan was
• 45:03
  and all of that stuff and
• 45:06
  how confident he was about it,
• 45:08
  which is hard to watch that
• 45:10
  now knowing what happened.
• 45:14
  But I looked and I do not
• 45:18
  see it up anymore.
• 45:21
  So someone must have had him pull it down.
• 45:26
  I mean,
• 45:27
  I feel like he was talking about
• 45:28
  that for a while.
• 45:28
  Like there was clearly
• 45:30
  something going on behind the scenes,
• 45:32
  like not letting him release it.
• 45:35
  Yeah.
• 45:37
  And it's a much later
• 45:38
  release than they've ever done it before.
• 45:40
  Yeah.
• 45:44
  And I can only imagine the
• 45:45
  next episode would even be harder.
• 45:50
  But I did get a chance to watch it.
• 45:53
  and it was it was really
• 45:55
  well done with great
• 45:57
  conversations it just was
• 45:59
  hard to watch at times but
• 46:03
  um I hope we can get back
• 46:07
  to a day where it's okay to
• 46:09
  do all that stuff and okay
• 46:10
  to enjoy that stuff so so
• 46:15
  back to the the news at hand um
• 46:19
  Jack Farlow announced this
• 46:20
  week that he is out of the
• 46:22
  open because of his college
• 46:23
  schedule and he needs to focus there.
• 46:27
  Then there was weird speculation around,
• 46:29
  well, Emma was out.
• 46:30
  So now Jack's out.
• 46:31
  What is that all about?
• 46:32
  And then it came out that
• 46:33
  Emma actually has a bulging
• 46:36
  disc and a pinched nerve L five S one.
• 46:40
  And I have, I have had that injury and,
• 46:44
  It is what broke me in two
• 46:46
  thousand sixteen seventeen.
• 46:49
  That is a no joke back injury.
• 46:54
  Did it happen after
• 46:55
  Wadapalooza or would it before?
• 46:58
  before so she was still able
• 46:59
  to compete and win on the
• 47:01
  team side she she was able
• 47:04
  to do day one relatively
• 47:07
  okay and then she said that
• 47:10
  she was in extreme pain for
• 47:13
  day two but didn't want to
• 47:14
  let her team down yeah but
• 47:18
  but what scares me is
• 47:23
  And I am not as good an
• 47:25
  athlete as she was.
• 47:26
  Now,
• 47:27
  that was as fit as I've ever been as
• 47:29
  an adult when this happened to me.
• 47:34
  I kept trying to fight through it,
• 47:36
  and it just got worse and
• 47:37
  worse and worse to the
• 47:39
  point where the pain was so
• 47:41
  severe down my leg, and I had no power,
• 47:44
  no strength in my legs
• 47:46
  because I had messed it up so bad.
• 47:50
  And since that day,
• 47:51
  I've had twelve back procedures.
• 47:53
  I have had so much done on my back.
• 47:56
  I just don't want her to
• 47:59
  mess it up for the future.
• 48:02
  So do you think that she'll
• 48:03
  compete still in the other season?
• 48:05
  Like, is that even worth it?
• 48:07
  Or take care of it and come
• 48:08
  back next year?
• 48:10
  I think she should take care
• 48:11
  of it and come back next year.
• 48:13
  But she's still so young.
• 48:14
  She's way younger than I was
• 48:16
  when I had it.
• 48:17
  So I don't know if she can...
• 48:20
  And I don't know how severe it is,
• 48:21
  if they can get the
• 48:23
  swelling to go down and the
• 48:25
  bulge to go away.
• 48:27
  I don't know any of that stuff.
• 48:29
  And, like,
• 48:29
  I don't know what Emma Carey had
• 48:31
  when she took a season off at one point,
• 48:34
  if it was something similar.
• 48:35
  But, like, I don't know.
• 48:38
  If I'm dealing with that,
• 48:39
  I would probably consider...
• 48:42
  I know Craig is saying,
• 48:43
  I think it's day to day.
• 48:44
  I think day to day would be
• 48:45
  extremely optimistic.
• 48:47
  If she said she's already
• 48:49
  getting the pain shots down her leg, uh,
• 48:52
  in, in her podcast,
• 48:54
  if she's at that point,
• 48:56
  that means the sciatic is
• 48:57
  involved in that nerve.
• 49:01
  You just have to be careful.
• 49:02
  I'm just saying like, I think it is to me,
• 49:06
  it would be month to month.
• 49:08
  So her first event isn't until May.
• 49:10
  So she does have some time
• 49:11
  to think about the WFP and
• 49:13
  possibly get replaced if she can't.
• 49:15
  So at least for now,
• 49:16
  she's committed to the May timeframe.
• 49:19
  And then I won't be
• 49:21
  surprised to see if she turns that down.
• 49:24
  I feel like she's a smart
• 49:25
  athlete to not necessarily
• 49:28
  ruin her next few years.
• 49:30
  I know my first step was
• 49:31
  like cortisone injections,
• 49:33
  trying to get the swelling
• 49:34
  down around the nerve.
• 49:36
  So all of that kind of calms down.
• 49:38
  But you can't like lift
• 49:40
  heavy during that time
• 49:42
  because you need to get it –
• 49:44
  need to make sure that it's
• 49:45
  not aggravating again right
• 49:48
  to get the swelling down if
• 49:50
  you aggravated adult all
• 49:51
  the swelling will come back
• 49:55
  so I I think if she takes a
• 49:58
  month now it would be much
• 49:59
  smarter than trying to
• 50:01
  fight through it and get to me that's all
• 50:08
  But I'm, like I said,
• 50:10
  I was much older when I had it, but it is,
• 50:13
  it was debilitating.
• 50:15
  Just the amount of pulling
• 50:16
  we do as CrossFitters in
• 50:17
  general and like the amount
• 50:20
  of things that would probably affect,
• 50:22
  like even just probably the backswing of,
• 50:25
  you know, kipping gymnastics, right?
• 50:27
  Like any type of kip,
• 50:27
  like it's not just the
• 50:29
  lifting when you start
• 50:30
  feeling your lower back,
• 50:31
  that gets multiple movements.
• 50:33
  even biking,
• 50:34
  like if you're just sitting there,
• 50:35
  depending on how it's like, where it is,
• 50:37
  I guess, um, rowing, right?
• 50:39
  Like there's so many movements.
• 50:41
  I can still feel it.
• 50:42
  So, so my,
• 50:46
  my bulge was on the front of the spine.
• 50:49
  So anytime that I then would
• 50:53
  arch back at all,
• 50:55
  it would push that bulge
• 50:56
  back out the front.
• 51:00
  So like arch to do like a KIPP,
• 51:04
  Does that make sense?
• 51:04
  That's what I can't do.
• 51:05
  I completely understand.
• 51:09
  I don't know where her bulge is either.
• 51:11
  Her bulge could be out the back,
• 51:12
  could be out the side.
• 51:14
  Like all of that would
• 51:15
  matter to where she's at and how,
• 51:17
  what it's going to be like.
• 51:23
  Yep.
• 51:23
  Uh,
• 51:23
  D Reed says no compass worth your health.
• 51:26
  Well,
• 51:26
  I also don't know who her coach is
• 51:28
  right now in terms of
• 51:29
  guiding her to in these decisions.
• 51:31
  If it's Jack and, you know,
• 51:34
  they're just talking together to spin.
• 51:37
  The belief is that she's coaching herself.
• 51:41
  She is doing her own
• 51:42
  programming and coaching
• 51:44
  herself right now.
• 51:46
  But in terms of just getting that advice,
• 51:49
  right,
• 51:49
  like sometimes just having those
• 51:51
  conversations with someone,
• 51:53
  I'm sure she's having it
• 51:54
  with Jack to figure out
• 51:57
  what the next steps are.
• 51:58
  But, yeah,
• 51:59
  it's not something you want to
• 52:03
  push too much because it can get bad.
• 52:09
  Tristan says back injuries
• 52:11
  are incredibly hard to manage.
• 52:13
  Personal experience.
• 52:14
  I just read Corey's.
• 52:17
  Yeah, Corey's being a twelve-year-old boy.
• 52:27
  So that happened.
• 52:29
  I just know the pain that I went through.
• 52:32
  I just wish her all the luck
• 52:33
  in the world and all well
• 52:34
  wishes because man,
• 52:38
  get it fixed now before you get old.
• 52:40
  That's all I'm saying.
• 52:42
  I've got no advice because I'm just...
• 52:46
  a freaking mess and just
• 52:47
  continue to stay a mess and
• 52:50
  not figure it out.
• 52:53
  So probably don't take my path girl.
• 52:55
  Yeah.
• 52:58
  I'm finally to a point where
• 52:59
  I can like do things
• 53:01
  without pain and it is
• 53:04
  night and day to what I
• 53:06
  lived with forever.
• 53:07
  So I'm just glad I got through it.
• 53:11
  now just hope the duct tape
• 53:13
  and the binding twine hold
• 53:15
  up for another ten to
• 53:17
  fifteen years um the other
• 53:21
  thing that happened this
• 53:22
  week is the crossfit
• 53:23
  athlete council responded
• 53:24
  to survey results they sent
• 53:26
  a survey out to crossfit
• 53:28
  athletes they got I think
• 53:31
  over two hundred responses
• 53:33
  did you did you respond
• 53:34
  back to it jamie I did that I did good
• 53:41
  So one,
• 53:42
  that's great participation from the
• 53:44
  athletes.
• 53:45
  They got over two hundred responses.
• 53:47
  The fact that they got statements out.
• 53:49
  I will say this again.
• 53:50
  I got ripped on this earlier in the week,
• 53:52
  but I'll say it again.
• 53:54
  That is the most that any
• 53:55
  athlete council has done.
• 53:58
  that we have had in crossfit
• 53:59
  period I am not blaming the
• 54:01
  athlete councils for that
• 54:03
  because I know that they
• 54:04
  weren't always listened to
• 54:06
  and weren't given the
• 54:07
  authority to do the things
• 54:09
  that this one has been able
• 54:10
  to do but we finally have
• 54:14
  movement on the athlete
• 54:15
  council with responses is
• 54:18
  there anything in this
• 54:19
  response that you guys
• 54:20
  wanted to talk about in specifics
• 54:25
  No,
• 54:25
  I'm just glad that it's being
• 54:26
  communicated to the community.
• 54:29
  I think that's something
• 54:29
  that we've been wanting for a while.
• 54:32
  Whether you like the people
• 54:33
  on the board or not,
• 54:34
  I think that they're having
• 54:36
  great conversations on
• 54:38
  different things and at
• 54:39
  least communicating back to
• 54:42
  what's happening so that we
• 54:43
  can stay involved and then
• 54:44
  maybe give more ideas.
• 54:48
  yeah I mean we we talked
• 54:50
  about this prior that like
• 54:52
  I feel like they have no
• 54:53
  choice but to listen now
• 54:55
  like it's like this this
• 54:57
  was the last straw so it's
• 54:58
  like they're not going to
• 54:59
  put another council in
• 55:01
  place to continue what they
• 55:02
  were doing because you know
• 55:04
  it led to something so
• 55:05
  tragic so I feel like
• 55:07
  they're actually really
• 55:08
  listening now and I'm
• 55:10
  excited to see where um
• 55:13
  where that'll go I I hope
• 55:16
  that um it's not just
• 55:17
  something that's going to
• 55:18
  be used at first until
• 55:20
  people kind of forget about
• 55:21
  it and then it you know
• 55:23
  dies off a little bit um
• 55:25
  but that they'll continue
• 55:26
  to be involved and new
• 55:27
  people will be able to
• 55:28
  apply and you know it just
• 55:31
  is for the betterment of um
• 55:34
  the sports side
• 55:36
  But yeah,
• 55:37
  it's the most transparency we've
• 55:39
  had in ages.
• 55:42
  And I like I think one of
• 55:43
  their comments said, like, you know,
• 55:45
  people have been asking for
• 55:48
  change and or or really anything.
• 55:51
  And it's clear that we're
• 55:53
  getting some things.
• 55:53
  And it's kind of frustrating
• 55:55
  that some of these athletes
• 55:56
  aren't willing to, like,
• 55:58
  accept even like look at
• 55:59
  these as steps forward.
• 56:02
  Yeah.
• 56:05
  Yeah, it's not a solution for everything,
• 56:06
  but there's definitely some
• 56:08
  step forward going on.
• 56:13
  The one I like the most,
• 56:15
  I liked a lot of them that
• 56:16
  they were well thought out
• 56:17
  answers regardless,
• 56:19
  but the statement on
• 56:21
  communities desire to fix
• 56:22
  inconsistency in season format.
• 56:26
  that they had recommended to
• 56:27
  HQ that they need to adhere
• 56:29
  to a particular season
• 56:30
  structure for three to five
• 56:32
  seasons before proposing changes.
• 56:37
  They said that this feedback was received,
• 56:39
  but no discussion or
• 56:40
  commitments to this
• 56:41
  feedback were made from HQ.
• 56:44
  But at least they made that.
• 56:45
  That's something I've been
• 56:46
  hammering home forever.
• 56:49
  You just can't... It takes
• 56:51
  too long to figure it out
• 56:51
  to explain it to your friends.
• 56:53
  Right.
• 56:55
  Um...
• 56:58
  And I gave my feedback in it
• 56:59
  on my suggestions for the
• 57:03
  online portion that we had talked about.
• 57:05
  Yep.
• 57:08
  I love that idea.
• 57:09
  Make the open truly worth something.
• 57:12
  It should matter.
• 57:13
  Those are legitimate tests,
• 57:15
  great tests of fitness.
• 57:16
  It's not just the high skill, high –
• 57:21
  weights that should count
• 57:22
  towards going to the games.
• 57:23
  Like it would be a more,
• 57:24
  a better representation of an athlete.
• 57:26
  If you take the three to
• 57:27
  four open workouts with the
• 57:29
  five to six online semifinal workouts,
• 57:31
  you got ten workouts.
• 57:32
  Boom.
• 57:33
  Those are the twelve
• 57:34
  athletes going to the games
• 57:36
  from the online, the rest in person.
• 57:39
  You don't even need the last
• 57:39
  chance qualifier.
• 57:41
  Or like we talked about,
• 57:42
  if you do want the last chance qualifier,
• 57:44
  that's when you take all
• 57:46
  the bubble athletes from
• 57:47
  the in-person and online semifinal,
• 57:49
  put all their scores against each other.
• 57:51
  No last chance qualifier.
• 57:53
  Just the most consistent out
• 57:55
  of the online ten events go on.
• 58:00
  The other piece of news that
• 58:01
  came out of the CrossFit
• 58:02
  Athlete Council was that
• 58:04
  they looked at the grip
• 58:06
  prohibition and did get a
• 58:09
  change made where the
• 58:10
  rubber grips are now legal
• 58:13
  at CrossFit events.
• 58:16
  Do you wear those?
• 58:17
  I do have a pair.
• 58:18
  I don't wear them very often.
• 58:19
  I have the Merlins, which are what?
• 58:24
  It's all I use.
• 58:26
  Is it?
• 58:27
  It is.
• 58:28
  I received a pair from doing
• 58:30
  the proven throwdown, the white,
• 58:33
  I think it's the elite grips.
• 58:36
  I have never seen something
• 58:37
  so like sticky to the bar.
• 58:39
  Like I was like, I'm like,
• 58:43
  this is what they're
• 58:44
  talking about illegal.
• 58:45
  I'm like, this is crazy.
• 58:47
  were they are they frog
• 58:49
  grips yeah frog grips okay
• 58:51
  I haven't used them a
• 58:51
  single time I just went
• 58:52
  like this to my bar that
• 58:54
  was there which is a non
• 58:57
  like it's not a steel or a
• 58:58
  spiel bar yeah and I was like
• 59:02
  So then I brought them to
• 59:03
  school because I don't have
• 59:04
  like a sticky bar at school.
• 59:06
  And I was,
• 59:06
  I can never do any type of
• 59:09
  gymnastic stuff just
• 59:10
  because it's so slippery.
• 59:12
  And I'm like, well,
• 59:13
  maybe I'll just take these
• 59:15
  sticky grips and be able to
• 59:17
  stay on the bar.
• 59:18
  But I don't think I would do
• 59:19
  bar muscle ups with them
• 59:20
  because I feel like you can't rotate.
• 59:23
  Yeah.
• 59:23
  Some people do complain about that.
• 59:25
  Um,
• 59:26
  It depends on the bar you're on.
• 59:28
  They don't like chalk.
• 59:30
  That's the thing I hate.
• 59:32
  There's some athletes at
• 59:33
  competitions and the gyms
• 59:35
  that are coming to the rig, spraying down,
• 59:38
  grabbing their towels.
• 59:39
  You're doing too much.
• 59:42
  So many athletes now on the floor,
• 59:43
  they're wiping down the
• 59:45
  freaking bars on competition.
• 59:47
  Leave that damn chalk on there.
• 59:50
  But if you're used to those grips,
• 59:52
  I know grip and then you're
• 59:54
  like sliding off the bar.
• 59:55
  It's like worse.
• 59:56
  You should have.
• 59:56
  I'm like,
• 59:57
  that's if you're having to do that.
• 59:58
  I'm like,
• 59:59
  there's something with those grips,
• 1:00:00
  you know?
• 1:00:00
  Yeah.
• 1:00:01
  I guess they're legal.
• 1:00:02
  Really sticky.
• 1:00:04
  I have element twenty six
• 1:00:05
  rubber grips and they're
• 1:00:07
  not like I don't think
• 1:00:08
  they're that much stickier
• 1:00:09
  than like my old bear complex.
• 1:00:12
  Yeah.
• 1:00:12
  But man,
• 1:00:12
  if if I get a big chunk of chalk
• 1:00:15
  on the bar, I slide right off.
• 1:00:17
  Yeah.
• 1:00:18
  Yeah.
• 1:00:19
  Yeah, I've never tried the Frogrips.
• 1:00:20
  I have the Raylan Seal Pros,
• 1:00:24
  which I think they're similar,
• 1:00:25
  but I don't know.
• 1:00:27
  And then I use daily the Raylan,
• 1:00:31
  the Merlins.
• 1:00:32
  They're like a hybrid.
• 1:00:34
  Corey says you can rotate.
• 1:00:36
  They don't like chalk, though.
• 1:00:39
  I just think athletes are doing too much,
• 1:00:41
  like going on the
• 1:00:42
  competition floor with their damn towels.
• 1:00:44
  I roll my eyes at all those
• 1:00:45
  athletes that do that, and I'm like,
• 1:00:46
  get out of here.
• 1:00:49
  keep that guy.
• 1:00:51
  I just, I get so annoyed.
• 1:00:53
  And then the people at my
• 1:00:54
  gym that put like spray
• 1:00:55
  bottles of like cleaning products,
• 1:00:58
  I'm like, stop it.
• 1:00:59
  You're ruining that
• 1:01:00
  perfectly perfect spiel bar.
• 1:01:03
  Like, stop it.
• 1:01:04
  I have a guy who comes in
• 1:01:05
  with wad wax and like white bar.
• 1:01:08
  And then it's like, like, don't you tear,
• 1:01:11
  don't you touch my bar?
• 1:01:13
  And it's, like, my bar.
• 1:01:14
  I have, like, a bar, too,
• 1:01:15
  that people know.
• 1:01:16
  Like, do it to all the others.
• 1:01:17
  That bar right there,
• 1:01:19
  don't you dare touch it.
• 1:01:20
  Well,
• 1:01:20
  the spiel bars will rust if you keep
• 1:01:22
  spraying them.
• 1:01:23
  Right.
• 1:01:25
  Like, they're meant to be, like,
• 1:01:27
  no coating, no.
• 1:01:28
  Yep.
• 1:01:30
  And to, like, just bite in grip, like,
• 1:01:33
  yeah.
• 1:01:34
  When I was at my old gym, they were like,
• 1:01:36
  do not spray cleaner on
• 1:01:37
  those spiel bars or you'll
• 1:01:38
  be out of here.
• 1:01:39
  Mm-hmm.
• 1:01:39
  Mm-hmm.
• 1:01:44
  so yeah so we got someone
• 1:01:45
  that's going to do that to
• 1:01:46
  my skill bar uh oh
• 1:01:49
  Carolyn's going to get into
• 1:01:50
  a hockey fight in the
• 1:01:50
  middle of the gym no
• 1:01:53
  because literally the other
• 1:01:54
  day I wear bear complex I'm
• 1:01:56
  a bear complex gal from
• 1:01:57
  like my whole career and I
• 1:02:01
  freaking slipped on a bar
• 1:02:02
  muscle up on my bar because
• 1:02:03
  people have been spraying
• 1:02:04
  it and I'm like I have like
• 1:02:06
  I almost fell backwards I'm
• 1:02:07
  like thankfully I landed on
• 1:02:09
  my feet like a cat but like
• 1:02:12
  I've never had that happen
• 1:02:13
  in years and it's not even
• 1:02:14
  like I was at max capacity
• 1:02:16
  like I just my hand just
• 1:02:18
  slipped and I was like
• 1:02:20
  these damn frog grips and
• 1:02:22
  rubber grip people are
• 1:02:24
  ruining my bar that's my um
• 1:02:34
  phil b says I wouldn't use
• 1:02:35
  the elites for bar muscle
• 1:02:37
  ups they are too grippy the
• 1:02:39
  base ones I got that
• 1:02:44
  all right so we have a
• 1:02:45
  couple more like quick
• 1:02:46
  hitting news bits and then
• 1:02:48
  we'll get out of here for
• 1:02:49
  tonight uh sarah sigmund's
• 1:02:52
  daughter got an invite a
• 1:02:53
  special invite to the rebel
• 1:02:55
  games which is the african
• 1:02:58
  in-person semi-final event
• 1:03:02
  because that is exclusively
• 1:03:04
  for african citizens yeah
• 1:03:08
  Does that give Sarah a legit shot?
• 1:03:11
  And it's UAE.
• 1:03:13
  It's also where she trains, though.
• 1:03:16
  Oh, yeah.
• 1:03:18
  That's where she trains.
• 1:03:19
  That's not really Africa.
• 1:03:21
  Yeah,
• 1:03:21
  but they have that Africa plus the UAE.
• 1:03:24
  Okay.
• 1:03:24
  Okay.
• 1:03:27
  That's one of their rules.
• 1:03:28
  So I figured Sarah was going
• 1:03:30
  there from the start.
• 1:03:31
  And I was like, oh,
• 1:03:32
  because I'm assuming Jamie
• 1:03:33
  isn't competing.
• 1:03:35
  I'm like,
• 1:03:35
  Sarah has a very good shot at that one.
• 1:03:38
  Because like had Jamie
• 1:03:39
  Simmons been in this year,
• 1:03:41
  which I'm just assuming
• 1:03:42
  right now that she's not
• 1:03:43
  doing the game season
• 1:03:45
  because Jamie trains like in the UAE.
• 1:03:48
  So she would easily take,
• 1:03:50
  I feel like a spot.
• 1:03:51
  She's so fit.
• 1:03:53
  Yeah.
• 1:03:54
  So Sarah's got a chance.
• 1:03:57
  I agree.
• 1:03:59
  I mean,
• 1:03:59
  I don't know where she is training
• 1:04:01
  wise or knee wise or
• 1:04:02
  whatever things are going on with her,
• 1:04:03
  but.
• 1:04:07
  Yeah, I,
• 1:04:07
  I saw her real doing twenty five
• 1:04:10
  point one.
• 1:04:12
  Like she's ripped.
• 1:04:13
  Yeah, it's it's just.
• 1:04:17
  And now at least they know
• 1:04:19
  what's wrong with her knee.
• 1:04:22
  Yeah,
• 1:04:23
  I think that I think she has a great shot,
• 1:04:25
  actually.
• 1:04:26
  Yeah.
• 1:04:28
  really great shot um and
• 1:04:32
  which the games will always
• 1:04:33
  be better if sarah's there
• 1:04:36
  I think she's just a great
• 1:04:37
  person for sure and I think
• 1:04:39
  if you think that you have
• 1:04:40
  a shot you're gonna be like
• 1:04:42
  it's gonna be a different
• 1:04:43
  sarah because I think for a
• 1:04:44
  lot of the competitions
• 1:04:45
  like while she was telling
• 1:04:46
  herself she had a shot I
• 1:04:48
  think maybe inside she was like
• 1:04:51
  still kind of questioning
• 1:04:52
  where her health was and
• 1:04:53
  everything like that but if
• 1:04:54
  she like feels she's got a
• 1:04:56
  chance like confidence is a
• 1:04:57
  big thing in competition
• 1:04:59
  huge like it's not just
• 1:05:00
  your physical preparedness
• 1:05:02
  and and execute like
• 1:05:03
  there's a big mental
• 1:05:05
  component of these
• 1:05:06
  competitions so if she can
• 1:05:08
  get her mind um confident I
• 1:05:11
  think she can she can do it
• 1:05:14
  So next up in the quick news
• 1:05:15
  is two CrossFit athletes, not just one,
• 1:05:18
  but two CrossFit athletes
• 1:05:20
  have announced that they are with child.
• 1:05:23
  Three, really?
• 1:05:25
  I got one to add to that.
• 1:05:27
  I mean, boy.
• 1:05:27
  So I know of Carrie Pierce
• 1:05:30
  and Mitch McLoone, both Mitch McLoone,
• 1:05:32
  semifinal athlete, Carrie Pierce,
• 1:05:35
  American legend, CrossFit athlete,
• 1:05:37
  announced that she is pregnant.
• 1:05:39
  Kind of saw that coming
• 1:05:39
  because she's been talking about
• 1:05:41
  her menstrual cycle being
• 1:05:43
  back to normal for the
• 1:05:44
  first time in years.
• 1:05:46
  And she's been talking about
• 1:05:46
  that for a long time on her Instagram.
• 1:05:49
  Uh,
• 1:05:50
  so the fact that they announced that
• 1:05:53
  was awesome.
• 1:05:53
  Yeah.
• 1:05:54
  Um,
• 1:05:54
  and then just today I saw Amanda
• 1:05:57
  Barnhart and her husband
• 1:05:59
  are pregnant with child
• 1:06:00
  after adopting a son earlier last year,
• 1:06:04
  late, late, late last year.
• 1:06:06
  Um,
• 1:06:08
  now to bring one of their
• 1:06:09
  own into the fold is pretty
• 1:06:10
  cool that's awesome the
• 1:06:12
  other one I just saw was
• 1:06:13
  noah and joanne okay I was
• 1:06:16
  gonna say that one too yeah
• 1:06:20

• 1:06:28
  wait for to see uh what
• 1:06:30
  motherhood and fatherhood
• 1:06:31

• 1:06:38
  Um,
• 1:06:38
  then we have high rocks results this
• 1:06:41
  last weekend in Brisbane, Australia.
• 1:06:44
  Um, yeah, Shay, Noah and Joanne,
• 1:06:48
  we announced that, uh,
• 1:06:54
  brisbane australia a handful
• 1:06:57
  of crossfit athletes
• 1:06:58
  competed in high rocks
• 1:07:00
  including tia and james
• 1:07:01
  newberry as a team ricky
• 1:07:04
  gerard um I think that like
• 1:07:06
  the whole proven crew
• 1:07:07
  pretty much right jay and
• 1:07:10
  uh maddie were on a team
• 1:07:13
  okay so I'm gonna pull up I
• 1:07:15
  have the men's um sarah's
• 1:07:18
  coach justin cutler she is
• 1:07:20
  a uae citizen wow
• 1:07:23
  Yeah, she's been there for years.
• 1:07:25
  Yeah.
• 1:07:26
  Yeah, I wasn't surprised at all.
• 1:07:27
  I figured she was going.
• 1:07:28
  That makes sense.
• 1:07:32
  I'm going to share my screen.
• 1:07:37
  So this is the men's leaderboard.
• 1:07:42
  And Ricky Garrard actually
• 1:07:45
  took sixth overall at the
• 1:07:47
  Brisbane High Rocks.
• 1:07:49
  I don't know a lot about high rocks.
• 1:07:51
  I heard Carolyn and Jamie
• 1:07:52
  talking before we got on
• 1:07:53
  the air and they can jump
• 1:07:54
  in here anytime they wish,
• 1:07:56
  but that his score is time
• 1:07:59
  was actually faster than James Sprague.
• 1:08:03
  Who James qualified for the
• 1:08:05
  world championships in his
• 1:08:08
  age group and his age group,
• 1:08:10
  not for the elite.
• 1:08:12
  Like Ricky here is first in his age group,
• 1:08:17
  right?
• 1:08:19
  I don't know.
• 1:08:20
  That normally is a pretty strong age group,
• 1:08:22
  though,
• 1:08:22
  so I don't know if that qualifies
• 1:08:24
  for the age group worlds,
• 1:08:26
  but that's a solid time.
• 1:08:29
  He was looking to break an hour,
• 1:08:30
  so just short, about forty two seconds,
• 1:08:33
  but they've been training hard.
• 1:08:35
  I think that group.
• 1:08:37
  So how do I get to?
• 1:08:39
  Yeah,
• 1:08:42
  right there instead of pro instead of
• 1:08:44
  pro.
• 1:08:45
  High Rocks Pro.
• 1:08:46
  Yeah, go to High Rocks Doubles.
• 1:08:48
  Pro doubles?
• 1:08:49
  No, just doubles.
• 1:08:51
  Okay.
• 1:08:51
  And then mixed, not men.
• 1:08:54
  Go back.
• 1:08:59
  Mixed.
• 1:09:00
  There we go.
• 1:09:03
  And James and Tia, you can see here.
• 1:09:05
  I'll try to blow this up.
• 1:09:08
  James Newberry, Tia Toomey, second place.
• 1:09:11
  I mean,
• 1:09:12
  the first group are two athletes
• 1:09:14
  that compete in the elite.
• 1:09:15
  Yeah.
• 1:09:16
  So that's a stacked team.
• 1:09:20
  Like probably Australia's best runner.
• 1:09:22
  And then obviously Hunter.
• 1:09:24
  What was Hunter and Joanna's time?
• 1:09:26
  I think it was like fifty
• 1:09:27
  four or something.
• 1:09:28
  If you could scroll over.
• 1:09:30
  Fifty one.
• 1:09:31
  Yeah.
• 1:09:33
  Three minutes faster.
• 1:09:35
  Yeah.
• 1:09:36
  Crazy.
• 1:09:38
  And Maddie Sturt and Jay
• 1:09:39
  Crouch took tenth.
• 1:09:42
  Is James Newberry like that
• 1:09:43
  great of a runner?
• 1:09:44
  Like would Ricky be a better
• 1:09:47
  partner to Tia?
• 1:09:48
  Like how fast he is at running?
• 1:09:49
  Like,
• 1:09:50
  I guess I don't remember James being like,
• 1:09:54
  James has done iron mans and marathons.
• 1:09:57
  So I know he's done them, but like,
• 1:09:59
  there's a difference
• 1:10:00
  between like doing them and being right.
• 1:10:04
  I feel like James would
• 1:10:05
  Newberry would be like more
• 1:10:07
  on par with James Sprague.
• 1:10:09
  Okay.
• 1:10:10
  right and then yeah you
• 1:10:12
  probably would t would
• 1:10:13
  probably be better off with
• 1:10:14
  ricky if this is something
• 1:10:17
  they wanted to take a
• 1:10:19
  little more seriously
• 1:10:21
  But amazing time, though.
• 1:10:23
  I mean, Hunter needs to rope in Tia.
• 1:10:25
  That's what needs to happen,
• 1:10:28
  quite honestly.
• 1:10:29
  Like, they would smoke it.
• 1:10:31
  Well, maybe.
• 1:10:31
  I don't know.
• 1:10:32
  I don't know where Tia is running.
• 1:10:33
  I really want to see Christy
• 1:10:35
  Aramo O'Connell do another one.
• 1:10:37
  I watched her video of her
• 1:10:38
  sub-three marathon.
• 1:10:40
  Like, she was averaging, like,
• 1:10:42
  I don't know, like a six-thirty mile.
• 1:10:45
  I'm like...
• 1:10:47
  Like, holy shit.
• 1:10:49
  To me,
• 1:10:49
  she's the best runner we have in the
• 1:10:51
  CrossFit space that came from CrossFit.
• 1:10:53
  What I can tell you is she
• 1:10:56
  would run to the gym and
• 1:10:57
  run home from the gym every
• 1:10:59
  day in the summer.
• 1:11:02
  That's all she does, either bikes or runs.
• 1:11:05
  It's very rare, unless in the wintertime,
• 1:11:07
  that she would actually
• 1:11:08
  drive her car to the gym.
• 1:11:10
  And it's not that close.
• 1:11:14
  But if I think of someone in
• 1:11:16
  the space that I feel would do,
• 1:11:19
  would be our top competitor
• 1:11:21
  in the High Rocks that came
• 1:11:22
  from the CrossFit Games,
• 1:11:24
  I think it's Christy on the female side.
• 1:11:28
  Yeah.
• 1:11:29
  So Justin, back on the Sarah thing,
• 1:11:33
  the best she has felt in years,
• 1:11:35
  we are getting there.
• 1:11:36
  Not there yet,
• 1:11:37
  but light at the end of the tunnel.
• 1:11:38
  All right.
• 1:11:45
  Phil B. James has been doing
• 1:11:46
  a lot of running recently.
• 1:11:47
  He's pretty good.
• 1:11:51
  Ricky's insane, though.
• 1:11:52
  Let's think back to that
• 1:11:54
  mile time trial at the games last year,
• 1:11:57
  and nobody was anywhere around him.
• 1:12:01
  Yeah,
• 1:12:01
  it's like Ricky and Jeff that are the
• 1:12:04
  top runners right now in the field.
• 1:12:05
  All right, so that is the high rock stuff.
• 1:12:13
  The Mayhem Classic lineup
• 1:12:15
  continues to change almost
• 1:12:18
  daily on who is going to be there.
• 1:12:21
  And it does seem to be
• 1:12:23
  either through injury or
• 1:12:25
  through not signing up for the Open,
• 1:12:26
  those athletes are being
• 1:12:27
  removed from the Mayhem lineup,
• 1:12:30
  even though that was not a...
• 1:12:33
  precursor to qualify or be
• 1:12:36
  invited to mayhem is doing
• 1:12:38
  the open even though but it
• 1:12:40
  does seem like like when
• 1:12:41
  emma lawson says she was
• 1:12:42
  out she got removed from
• 1:12:44
  the the lineup um so it
• 1:12:47
  does seem like there's like
• 1:12:49
  a trend is ellie turner
• 1:12:51
  because of an injury or
• 1:12:52
  just she's not doing the
• 1:12:53
  season I don't know I
• 1:12:55
  haven't heard anything out
• 1:12:56
  of that camp on what she's doing
• 1:12:59
  Cause Justin is obviously
• 1:13:01
  doing it and he's all in, but I don't,
• 1:13:03
  I know that Ellie is still
• 1:13:05
  coming back from her back.
• 1:13:07
  Yeah.
• 1:13:07
  Wasn't sure.
• 1:13:08
  I feel like it has to be.
• 1:13:09
  She's just her back.
• 1:13:11
  And yeah, just not again.
• 1:13:14
  Another reason for Emma
• 1:13:15
  Lawson to take it very
• 1:13:17
  carefully through these back injuries.
• 1:13:19
  They are awful.
• 1:13:22
  Cause Ellie's been out.
• 1:13:22
  What?
• 1:13:23
  Almost two years now.
• 1:13:25
  Then you look at Bethany
• 1:13:26
  who's still grinding.
• 1:13:29
  She's top ten in the world
• 1:13:30
  right now in the open.
• 1:13:31
  Yeah, she smashed it.
• 1:13:35
  Did you see her first lunge?
• 1:13:37
  Yeah, what the hell happened there?
• 1:13:39
  She just didn't do the last lunge.
• 1:13:41
  She just took a step.
• 1:13:42
  She was just like, yeah, one foot over.
• 1:13:44
  I'm here.
• 1:13:44
  I don't know what the
• 1:13:46
  penalty was because you'd
• 1:13:46
  have to come all the way back and do it.
• 1:13:49
  I don't know if they'll take
• 1:13:51
  four reps off.
• 1:13:52
  I don't, I mean,
• 1:13:53
  I wouldn't be surprised
• 1:13:54
  something like that.
• 1:13:56
  Yeah.
• 1:13:56
  Reps just because you have to go back.
• 1:13:57
  You have to do your five
• 1:13:58
  steps of lunges open up.
• 1:14:00
  I don't know.
• 1:14:02
  I know.
• 1:14:02
  We'll be some sort of pally.
• 1:14:04
  You would think, um,
• 1:14:05
  if they look at the video,
• 1:14:06
  I don't know if you guys,
• 1:14:08
  this is not on the rundown.
• 1:14:10
  Have you been watching the, the,
• 1:14:12
  the pepper?
• 1:14:14
  What is it?
• 1:14:15
  Boys interrupted.
• 1:14:17
  Oh yeah.
• 1:14:17
  I don't really like that name,
• 1:14:18
  but it makes sense.
• 1:14:22
  Because they do interrupt
• 1:14:22
  each other all the time.
• 1:14:25
  Yeah.
• 1:14:25
  I don't think it was that original.
• 1:14:27
  There's already like in the sports space,
• 1:14:30
  it's always the uninterrupted.
• 1:14:34
  No, it's like the uninterrupted.
• 1:14:36
  I feel like they kind of took it from that,
• 1:14:38
  but I don't know.
• 1:14:38
  I feel like they could have
• 1:14:39
  done something better with the name.
• 1:14:41
  I watched the episode where
• 1:14:41
  they explained the name.
• 1:14:43
  The one name that someone
• 1:14:44
  suggested was funny, though.
• 1:14:47
  Yeah.
• 1:14:48
  Like,
• 1:14:49
  Hopping on Justin's pepper.
• 1:14:52
  Something like that.
• 1:14:53
  Yeah.
• 1:14:57
  But they are bringing back
• 1:14:59
  the open embarrassments.
• 1:15:01
  Yeah.
• 1:15:01
  And did you see what the
• 1:15:02
  punishment was for week one?
• 1:15:04
  Spray tan.
• 1:15:06
  Over-aggressive spray tan.
• 1:15:08
  Like Ross from Friends.
• 1:15:11
  If you watch friends.
• 1:15:13
  Oh yeah.
• 1:15:14
  Where his teeth lit up like neon.
• 1:15:17
  Justin,
• 1:15:17
  when gave his score right away and
• 1:15:19
  Justin does it all the time
• 1:15:20
  on the Thursday.
• 1:15:21
  Like that's a huge disadvantage.
• 1:15:23
  If for him, I think.
• 1:15:26
  Cause I feel like the other
• 1:15:27
  two wait a little bit,
• 1:15:28
  see some strategies and
• 1:15:29
  then kind of attack it.
• 1:15:31
  Justin just watches the
• 1:15:32
  announcement and then just does it there.
• 1:15:34
  James lost though.
• 1:15:35
  Didn't he?
• 1:15:36
  I think James got the lowest.
• 1:15:37
  Yeah.
• 1:15:38
  But Justin almost lost it.
• 1:15:41
  Oh,
• 1:15:42
  I didn't see Justin score on
• 1:15:44
  no leaderboard.
• 1:15:46
  He talked about it on the podcast.
• 1:15:52
  I think he got something
• 1:15:52
  like nine snatches,
• 1:15:54
  eight or nine snatches.
• 1:15:57
  Because they were all right
• 1:15:57
  up towards the top.
• 1:15:59
  Yep.
• 1:15:59
  Like Sprague was ninth.
• 1:16:02
  Pepper was first.
• 1:16:03
  Hopper was like fourth or
• 1:16:04
  fifth last time I looked.
• 1:16:09
  Shay's asking, can you just shower it off?
• 1:16:11
  I don't think you can.
• 1:16:14
  Yeah, I mean, it'll lighten it, but yeah,
• 1:16:16
  it's not going to just shower off.
• 1:16:18
  If you got in the shower
• 1:16:19
  like ten minutes after you got it,
• 1:16:22
  you could probably get a decent chunk off,
• 1:16:24
  but if it's on there for
• 1:16:26
  several hours... I can't wait to see it.
• 1:16:30
  But like Ross on Friends got two fours,
• 1:16:34
  like an eight.
• 1:16:38
  They have to do something
• 1:16:40
  like a reel with the Friends stuff.
• 1:16:43
  They have to.
• 1:16:44
  Get a two on your front and
• 1:16:45
  a two on your back.
• 1:16:46
  I got two twos.
• 1:16:46
  You got a four?
• 1:16:50
  Oh, I love Friends.
• 1:16:55
  I've seen that show so many times.
• 1:16:56
  That's one of my favorite episodes ever.
• 1:16:59
  Me too.
• 1:17:01
  Uh, uh, so yeah.
• 1:17:06
  And they're, they're,
• 1:17:07
  they're getting so funny.
• 1:17:09
  I hope it stays funny and
• 1:17:11
  lighthearted like they're doing it.
• 1:17:14
  For Craig that didn't see Justin score.
• 1:17:16
  He talked about it on the podcast.
• 1:17:18
  I don't know which one it was.
• 1:17:20
  I think it was the one that he did after.
• 1:17:21
  And he said that he got nine
• 1:17:24
  reps or something,
• 1:17:25
  but he didn't look at the
• 1:17:26
  video if it was on time.
• 1:17:30
  Um, Craig said,
• 1:17:32
  did you see Colton's grandpa video?
• 1:17:33
  I did.
• 1:17:34
  That was hilarious.
• 1:17:35
  The best.
• 1:17:38
  I wish the filter would have
• 1:17:39
  kept the gray hair on a
• 1:17:40
  little bit better.
• 1:17:42
  Did you see a Jamie or no?
• 1:17:44
  I did not.
• 1:17:45
  Can you go on the Instagram to see it?
• 1:17:48
  So he, um, he,
• 1:17:49
  he it's like his grandfather
• 1:17:52
  talking to his grandkids
• 1:17:54
  about the time he doubled a two,
• 1:17:56
  sixty-five snatch.
• 1:17:59
  And how great it was.
• 1:18:00
  It was such a sight to behold.
• 1:18:04
  Yes, Aaron Fraser.
• 1:18:05
  I fully agree.
• 1:18:07
  They should have done the
• 1:18:07
  spray tan for week two punishment.
• 1:18:09
  That way they still have it
• 1:18:10
  for the week three announcement.
• 1:18:11
  That would have been great.
• 1:18:13
  That would have been great.
• 1:18:16
  All right.
• 1:18:16
  So here we go.
• 1:18:17
  You ready for your enjoyment, Jamie?
• 1:18:19
  Oh, my gosh.
• 1:18:23
  It was two thousand twenty four.
• 1:18:27
  Touching those stats at two sixty five.
• 1:18:28
  I've never seen something like that.
• 1:18:33
  What about the muscle-ups, Grandpa?
• 1:18:37
  Who told you about the damn muscle-ups?
• 1:18:40
  Shit.
• 1:18:41
  Thought I told you to stay off YouTube.
• 1:18:47
  Yeah.
• 1:18:47
  That's great.
• 1:18:50
  He's upped his Instagram
• 1:18:53
  game so much in the past year.
• 1:18:55
  Yeah.
• 1:18:57
  Yeah.
• 1:18:58
  The thing...
• 1:19:02
  Back to Aaron's thing about
• 1:19:03
  the open announcement.
• 1:19:05
  Why not bring Justin in for this?
• 1:19:07
  You already have the other three.
• 1:19:08
  Yeah.
• 1:19:10
  Bring in the whole podcast
• 1:19:11
  crew and let them.
• 1:19:14
  And then let's see the punishment live.
• 1:19:16
  That's the thing.
• 1:19:17
  We would know immediately who lost.
• 1:19:21
  That's leaning into the
• 1:19:23
  community because you know
• 1:19:24
  they have the punishments.
• 1:19:26
  Lean in.
• 1:19:28
  Maybe they bring in Justin as a surprise.
• 1:19:31
  Maybe.
• 1:19:32
  And then the punishment is
• 1:19:34
  live right after on the air.
• 1:19:37
  Boom.
• 1:19:39
  That's how you have to top
• 1:19:41
  what Mayhem did.
• 1:19:43
  That would be really good though.
• 1:19:44
  That would be good.
• 1:19:51
  so yeah lots of funny stuff
• 1:19:58
  this week so then my last
• 1:20:00
  thing is and I don't know
• 1:20:02
  how much of this you guys
• 1:20:03
  have dove into but there
• 1:20:04
  are rumors circulating that
• 1:20:06
  crossfit is going to be
• 1:20:07
  sold in the near future um
• 1:20:12
  and there are links to a
• 1:20:14
  european company called b sport
• 1:20:18
  Uh, that owns the hustle up app owns, uh,
• 1:20:22
  the Northern spirit clothing line, um,
• 1:20:26
  among a few other companies.
• 1:20:30
  Uh,
• 1:20:30
  it appears that they have the money to
• 1:20:32
  do it or the backing to do it.
• 1:20:35
  Um,
• 1:20:35
  and they're meeting with people like
• 1:20:37
  rich froning and they're
• 1:20:38
  meeting with people like Daniel Chaffee,
• 1:20:41
  um, along the way, if that happens,
• 1:20:46
  it will not be a private equity company.
• 1:20:50
  Is that what CrossFit needs
• 1:20:52
  to get out of this private
• 1:20:54
  equity ownership that
• 1:20:56
  everything is for the dollar?
• 1:20:59
  Everything is like budget
• 1:21:00
  cut and get back to a
• 1:21:04
  company that is familiar
• 1:21:06
  with the grassroots style
• 1:21:07
  of CrossFit and what CrossFit is and what,
• 1:21:10
  and they've been a part of
• 1:21:11
  that community for a while now.
• 1:21:15
  You would got to think it would help.
• 1:21:18
  I mean, all the cuts,
• 1:21:20
  I don't think have done
• 1:21:21
  anything good for HQ or the sport.
• 1:21:28
  I just don't know enough
• 1:21:29
  about the business side of
• 1:21:30
  it to have a valuable opinion on it.
• 1:21:34
  But yeah.
• 1:21:37
  I mean, you feel like you're like,
• 1:21:39
  I feel like the affiliates
• 1:21:41
  feel like they're just a
• 1:21:43
  dollar to HQ at this point.
• 1:21:54
  Daniel Chaffee said
• 1:21:55
  something when he was on
• 1:21:57
  with Peter a couple weeks
• 1:21:59
  ago where that he really
• 1:22:01
  likes Don Fall and Don was
• 1:22:02
  doing great things until
• 1:22:05
  the private equity firm
• 1:22:06
  board made him stop and
• 1:22:10
  kept telling him no to
• 1:22:12
  other initiatives and other
• 1:22:14
  things because of budget cuts.
• 1:22:19
  I don't know how much that is true,
• 1:22:21
  but if it is,
• 1:22:22
  that's a shame that that's
• 1:22:25
  what's driving the decision-making.
• 1:22:31
  Agree.
• 1:22:31
  And like Rich said on
• 1:22:32
  Peter's podcast with Facundo,
• 1:22:36
  but we have to stop hating
• 1:22:39
  people for trying to make money.
• 1:22:42
  Sure.
• 1:22:43
  Right, because at the end of the day,
• 1:22:44
  you have to make enough to survive.
• 1:22:47
  Yes.
• 1:22:50
  so um I don't know I'm I'm
• 1:22:52
  trying to follow it it does
• 1:22:53
  interest me from a business
• 1:22:55
  sense uh because that is
• 1:22:56
  what my background is um
• 1:23:00
  and I and for me personally
• 1:23:02
  I think that that is the
• 1:23:03
  avenue they have to go and
• 1:23:05
  it could be the hard reset
• 1:23:07
  that crossfit needs yeah I
• 1:23:11
  like susa's shows all of
• 1:23:13
  the digging he's been doing
• 1:23:14
  those have been good
• 1:23:16
  There's a lot of red yarn on
• 1:23:18
  those shows and there's a
• 1:23:19
  lot of speculation.
• 1:23:21
  Um, it would,
• 1:23:25
  I would like to see more like
• 1:23:26
  straight up facts,
• 1:23:27
  but we're not getting those yet.
• 1:23:29
  Yeah.
• 1:23:39
  so uh I'll keep an eye on
• 1:23:43
  that we'll talk about it if
• 1:23:44
  we get more fact-based
• 1:23:46
  stuff coming in but was
• 1:23:48
  there an estimated time uh
• 1:23:51
  before the games before the
• 1:23:53
  games yeah yeah before the
• 1:23:54
  game would it impact the
• 1:23:56
  games if you make a change
• 1:23:58
  before the game and it
• 1:23:58
  seems like that'd be a hard transition
• 1:24:02
  The only impact I could see
• 1:24:04
  it making on the games is
• 1:24:06
  if the people wanted to
• 1:24:07
  come in aggressively and they could say,
• 1:24:09
  hey,
• 1:24:10
  we're throwing a million dollars in
• 1:24:11
  the pot to make it better
• 1:24:15
  for whatever reason,
• 1:24:16
  whether it be prize money,
• 1:24:18
  whether it be to add
• 1:24:21
  something here or there.
• 1:24:22
  I don't know that they would do that.
• 1:24:27
  But usually a new owner will
• 1:24:29
  come in and sit back for
• 1:24:30
  three to six months and observe.
• 1:24:33
  Yeah.
• 1:24:34
  I mean,
• 1:24:34
  you have no reason to throw...
• 1:24:37
  People signed up for the
• 1:24:38
  season based on knowing what it was.
• 1:24:41
  If you change that right before the game,
• 1:24:43
  it's like, oh, the prize purse is bigger.
• 1:24:45
  It does nothing...
• 1:24:47
  does nothing really except
• 1:24:49
  pay those few people that
• 1:24:50
  are in a little bit more
• 1:24:51
  there's really no reason to
• 1:24:52
  do that I don't think it's
• 1:24:53
  going to be the prize purse
• 1:24:54
  I think it's going to be it
• 1:24:55
  would be other things it
• 1:24:56
  would be this marketing
• 1:24:58
  push for this event to like
• 1:25:00
  say here we are we're
• 1:25:02
  adding this as an event at
• 1:25:05
  the games or as to make it
• 1:25:07
  a better spectator
• 1:25:08
  experience or because that is like a big
• 1:25:14
  marketing moment that they
• 1:25:16
  could take advantage of.
• 1:25:19
  But generally they would
• 1:25:21
  come in and just observe.
• 1:25:26
  Yeah.
• 1:25:26
  And then that's when they
• 1:25:27
  would start making changes after that.
• 1:25:32
  And typically you would wait
• 1:25:34
  until the sport off season
• 1:25:38
  because affiliates run year
• 1:25:39
  round regardless,
• 1:25:41
  but the sport would pause
• 1:25:42
  and then you could make
• 1:25:43
  changes to the overall
• 1:25:45
  ecosystem after the games.
• 1:25:55
  So.
• 1:25:57
  yeah there was speculation
• 1:25:59
  even sooner than than that
• 1:26:01
  like in the next in the
• 1:26:03
  coming weeks months mid
• 1:26:07
  semis that'd be weird but
• 1:26:13
  so yeah well that's about
• 1:26:19
  all we had tonight you guys
• 1:26:21
  have anything left what do
• 1:26:24
  we need to tell the people to do
• 1:26:27
  Sign up for the open.
• 1:26:29
  Like and subscribe to the channel.
• 1:26:32
  Sign up for the open too.
• 1:26:33
  Are you going to pull up the
• 1:26:35
  open leaderboard?
• 1:26:35
  I thought you were going to do that.
• 1:26:37
  We can, but we kind of talked about it.
• 1:26:39
  Yeah, that's true.
• 1:26:42
  The top is like three-forty
• 1:26:44
  on both sides still.
• 1:26:46
  No, Dallin's got it.
• 1:26:52
  I'm curious to see Colton's score.
• 1:26:53
  Because Dallin had half a
• 1:26:55
  step left to get three forty nine.
• 1:27:00
  Well,
• 1:27:01
  Lana said earlier that somebody Dave
• 1:27:04
  said somebody broke the scorecard,
• 1:27:05
  so it's got to be Colin.
• 1:27:08
  Yeah,
• 1:27:08
  because he would have that access to
• 1:27:09
  to with the CAC.
• 1:27:13
  Yeah.
• 1:27:13
  Is that what it's called?
• 1:27:14
  The CAC?
• 1:27:14
  Or is that just what you got?
• 1:27:16
  I feel like that's kind of
• 1:27:17
  what it's I mean,
• 1:27:18
  I think even Dave calls it the CAC now.
• 1:27:19
  Yeah.
• 1:27:20
  Yeah.
• 1:27:22
  Anyway,
• 1:27:23
  Kristen Holt is still leading on
• 1:27:24
  the women's side.
• 1:27:25
  Marissa Flowers does not surprise me.
• 1:27:28
  This is a perfect workout for her.
• 1:27:35
  There's Flores.
• 1:27:37
  Hannah Hardy, that one shocked me.
• 1:27:39
  She's, yeah, I'd say in the last,
• 1:27:43
  I don't know, six months or so,
• 1:27:44
  she must have been dialing in.
• 1:27:47
  She's with Brandon Luckett
• 1:27:48
  at the EMOMCO or what?
• 1:27:52
  She was misfit forever.
• 1:27:54
  Yeah.
• 1:27:54
  I don't think so.
• 1:27:56
  Yeah.
• 1:27:56
  I saw Lauren weeks was on there,
• 1:27:57
  which gives me, she always does the open.
• 1:28:01
  Yeah, no, I just, I mean,
• 1:28:02
  it's she's way up there.
• 1:28:03
  So like,
• 1:28:04
  you gotta think someone like me or
• 1:28:05
  jam is going to be way up there.
• 1:28:07
  Oh yeah.
• 1:28:09
  So there it is.
• 1:28:10
  Three, four, three, three, three, three,
• 1:28:12
  two.
• 1:28:13
  Those are your top scores.
• 1:28:14
  Lots of three, twenty eights.
• 1:28:20
  And then on the men's side,
• 1:28:30
  pepper sterner that george
• 1:28:32
  sterner video if you've not
• 1:28:33
  seen it is so good but I
• 1:28:36
  would I would want to punch
• 1:28:37
  the guy in the face you
• 1:28:38
  know there's like twenty
• 1:28:41
  needs reviews on that video
• 1:28:44
  yep that's ridiculous
• 1:28:47
  there's nothing wrong with
• 1:28:48
  it I would and I would say
• 1:28:49
  his reps were quite clean
• 1:28:56
  That's the only thing with
• 1:28:57
  some of the open videos.
• 1:28:58
  Like people are so dumb
• 1:28:59
  sometimes when they review videos,
• 1:29:00
  I'm like, well, like, well, I like,
• 1:29:04
  I have to put my video up
• 1:29:05
  and it's going to be up there and it's,
• 1:29:07
  so it's going to get a ton
• 1:29:08
  of watches and like, man,
• 1:29:10
  it's frustrating when you
• 1:29:12
  watch like even mayhem's videos.
• 1:29:15
  Like I've not watched the opening to see,
• 1:29:18
  did he do all the stuff he
• 1:29:19
  was supposed to do?
• 1:29:21
  I haven't watched.
• 1:29:22
  I'll pull it up and the reps are fine.
• 1:29:24
  Yeah.
• 1:29:24
  Yeah.
• 1:29:25
  Did he show this?
• 1:29:25
  I'm pretty sure he did.
• 1:29:27
  Can you see the clock in the frame?
• 1:29:29
  But he, I think he has a wee time, right?
• 1:29:32
  Yeah.
• 1:29:32
  One of those.
• 1:29:33
  And then like all those little things.
• 1:29:36
  But just in general,
• 1:29:37
  some of the people that were a viewer,
• 1:29:38
  like sometimes I'm like,
• 1:29:40
  you're just being hateful.
• 1:29:41
  Like you're just trying to,
• 1:29:43
  you're probably around this
• 1:29:44
  person or you don't like, like,
• 1:29:45
  I don't know.
• 1:29:45
  It's just like some of the
• 1:29:47
  online judging is,
• 1:29:52
  I don't know.
• 1:29:54
  I'm just frustrated.
• 1:29:55
  You watch clips and you're like,
• 1:29:59
  that's just trash movement.
• 1:30:02
  It just gets passed through
• 1:30:04
  because they did it at an affiliate.
• 1:30:05
  Yeah.
• 1:30:06
  Do you think that if you judge a video,
• 1:30:08
  let's say good needs modification,
• 1:30:11
  your judges name should be
• 1:30:14
  on there that like, which names judge?
• 1:30:17
  Cause if their video is out public,
• 1:30:19
  your judge's name should be public too.
• 1:30:21
  Like,
• 1:30:21
  are you just someone that's around
• 1:30:22
  the leaderboard?
• 1:30:23
  Do you know that?
• 1:30:24
  Like, I want to know who judged me.
• 1:30:26
  I agree.
• 1:30:26
  Go put your name behind.
• 1:30:27
  Like, I, I wish there was some sort of.
• 1:30:31
  thing because it would I
• 1:30:34
  think it would deter people
• 1:30:35
  from being a little bit you
• 1:30:38
  know hateful on some of the
• 1:30:40
  judges sometimes like ours
• 1:30:43
  is like that video is
• 1:30:44
  public put your name behind
• 1:30:45
  the judging like I don't
• 1:30:46
  know but I had a feature
• 1:30:47
  for that I went peter when
• 1:30:50
  you fill it out you do have
• 1:30:51
  to say if you say needs
• 1:30:53
  reveal you have to say what
• 1:30:55
  needs review like you need to say
• 1:30:58
  at two fifty three,
• 1:31:00
  the two clean and tricks in
• 1:31:02
  a row didn't weren't locked
• 1:31:04
  out overhead or missed a
• 1:31:05
  lunge at three fifty three.
• 1:31:06
  You're supposed to write all
• 1:31:07
  that in there.
• 1:31:10
  So but I don't believe the
• 1:31:13
  athlete gets to see any of those.
• 1:31:17
  And so it's like, I don't know,
• 1:31:20
  it's just I hate that.
• 1:31:24
  Just because you're not an affiliate,
• 1:31:26
  you're,
• 1:31:27
  you're probably going to get
• 1:31:28
  screwed over.
• 1:31:29
  Cause you know, damn well,
• 1:31:31
  some of these affiliate
• 1:31:33
  athletes are trash movement.
• 1:31:35
  Like I'm not sure.
• 1:31:38
  I'm not sure.
• 1:31:38
  Like half a geese burpees counted.
• 1:31:40
  Yep.
• 1:31:42
  And they're all of those
• 1:31:43
  mayhem videos are going
• 1:31:46
  through without question.
• 1:31:49
  The public cannot see what was right.
• 1:31:52
  Right.
• 1:31:55
  And the public can't judge.
• 1:31:57
  You have to have... Your judge's course.
• 1:32:01
  Right.
• 1:32:04
  So... You do have to have
• 1:32:06
  the advanced judge's course, Lana,
• 1:32:08
  to get on and do the... You
• 1:32:11
  need the... I mean,
• 1:32:12
  I have the advanced judge's
• 1:32:13
  course as well.
• 1:32:14
  But do you need the advanced
• 1:32:16
  one for the open to judge videos?
• 1:32:19
  They should have.
• 1:32:21
  my opinion I shouldn't just
• 1:32:22
  be for everyone with the
• 1:32:23
  ten dollar in my opinion
• 1:32:24
  but I guess I don't know I
• 1:32:26
  have the pasta was just I
• 1:32:28
  think at the I think at the
• 1:32:30
  open level it's just the
• 1:32:32
  ten dollar and then let me
• 1:32:34
  find a level it will have
• 1:32:35
  to be advanced so you have
• 1:32:38
  a bunch of ten dollar
• 1:32:39
  keyboard warriors going on
• 1:32:40
  and hitting non-affiliate I
• 1:32:43
  mean well y'all go on and
• 1:32:47
  approve my video please so
• 1:32:54

• 1:32:58
