• 1:10
  something uh in my email
• 1:13
  and I'm having a hard time
• 1:15
  with that for some reason um anyway
• 1:27
  I wanted to share what CrossFit sent out.
• 1:30
  There it is.
• 1:30
  Okay.
• 1:33
  So, let's saw a dart.
• 1:36
  I haven't done that in a while.
• 1:38
  Here we go.
• 1:42
  Oh, goodness.
• 1:44
  I thought it was there and
• 1:45
  then the tip dipped right at the,
• 1:48
  right at the, so about three inches low.
• 1:54
  ah hate when the tip dips
• 1:56
  man oh it was right there
• 1:58
  was going in it right at
• 2:00
  the very end draw your
• 2:05
  dagger are you going to WFP I am not
• 2:10
  I am focusing on the masters
• 2:12
  and teens CrossFit games
• 2:14
  here in Columbus.
• 2:16
  And then WFP is the next week.
• 2:18
  I just,
• 2:18
  I can't take after the games and
• 2:21
  that take another week off
• 2:24
  within that timeframe.
• 2:28
  So, yeah, I just can't get out there this,
• 2:31
  this time.
• 2:32
  Plus,
• 2:32
  I don't think I'm number one on their
• 2:34
  fanboy list right now after
• 2:38
  what's been going on the last few months.
• 2:42
  And what's crazy is I've
• 2:43
  only criticized their content.
• 2:46
  I have not criticized
• 2:47
  anything else about them,
• 2:48
  but they take everything so
• 2:51
  hard and come at me so hard after that.
• 2:55
  Anyway.
• 2:57
  I digress.
• 2:58
  We're going to talk about it
• 2:58
  more as that kind of approaches.
• 3:01
  We'll cover it just like we
• 3:02
  cover everything else.
• 3:07
  But anyway,
• 3:08
  I'm in a riffy kind of mood today.
• 3:11
  So we're going to look at
• 3:13
  some things where I have
• 3:16
  been asked questions,
• 3:19
  challenged in comments,
• 3:21
  and we're going to talk
• 3:22
  about those a little bit.
• 3:25
  It's going to be a fun day.
• 3:28
  But anyway,
• 3:29
  I wanted to show everybody this
• 3:32
  new CrossFit campaign, marketing campaign,
• 3:38
  whatever you want to call it.
• 3:40
  But it is called CrossFit is the Cure.
• 3:43
  And I wanted to show, like,
• 3:44
  as part of the media,
• 3:46
  I got an email from them.
• 3:49
  And I'm going to share it
• 3:50
  because there's nothing
• 3:51
  really major in here, right?
• 3:54
  So in here, they talk about...
• 3:57
  They talk about all the
• 3:58
  stuff that they're doing,
• 4:00
  that they're launching this
• 4:01
  campaign and they want everybody,
• 4:03
  especially us to spread the word.
• 4:06
  And they're giving us all
• 4:07
  the assets that they have
• 4:09
  available to put out there.
• 4:11
  So if you saw yesterday on my Instagram,
• 4:14
  I posted the one video.
• 4:16
  A lot of other people from
• 4:17
  the media world have done the same.
• 4:20
  So essentially they have a link.
• 4:24
  And I will stop sharing and
• 4:25
  show you what the link goes to.
• 4:29
  It goes to a Google Drive.
• 4:32
  So here we are on Google.
• 4:34
  And here's the social media guide.
• 4:37
  So here's all the social
• 4:38
  media stuff that they're posting.
• 4:41
  They're giving to the media
• 4:43
  to download and for us to
• 4:45
  be able to post it as well.
• 4:49
  I go back F the quick fix
• 4:53
  here are the videos in
• 4:55
  three different formats to
• 4:57
  be able to share on
• 4:59
  different social media
• 5:01
  avenues so not only do I
• 5:04
  think it's a great campaign
• 5:06
  but I love the way
• 5:08
  that they're sharing the
• 5:09
  information with the media
• 5:12
  for them to be able to share it out.
• 5:14
  They're not acting like this
• 5:16
  is mine and mine alone and
• 5:20
  try to copy and paste or
• 5:21
  screen grab or whatever.
• 5:24
  They're actually,
• 5:25
  they sent all this to the
• 5:26
  media and gave them access
• 5:28
  to all the assets and we
• 5:31
  can post them at will to
• 5:34
  our social medias, social medias,
• 5:37
  that sounds weird,
• 5:38
  to our social media
• 5:38
  accounts and be able to
• 5:42
  share this message.
• 5:43
  And what's great about this
• 5:45
  message is it's about
• 5:51
  that you can't substitute the hard work.
• 5:54
  You can't substitute what it
• 5:57
  takes to become healthy.
• 6:00
  You have to put in the work
• 6:03
  and that CrossFit is the cure.
• 6:08
  You know, there are no shortcuts.
• 6:11
  It's really, we hate to break it to you.
• 6:16
  There are no shortcuts, right?
• 6:18
  It's all about the hard work.
• 6:20
  It's all about getting that
• 6:24
  message out that there is no quick pill.
• 6:27
  There is no quick fix.
• 6:29
  It is all about putting in
• 6:31
  the work and that CrossFit
• 6:33
  can be the cure for the
• 6:35
  world's most vexing problem.
• 6:37
  And I've talked about it for
• 6:38
  a couple weeks that in the
• 6:40
  last few months, CrossFit has...
• 6:44
  gone back to what their
• 6:45
  definition of who they are are and
• 6:51
  that they are now pointing
• 6:52
  at their North Star more.
• 6:55
  And because of this,
• 6:59
  we have seen an uptick in
• 7:02
  the popularity of the sport
• 7:04
  and what is coming to be.
• 7:07
  And that's why the games I
• 7:11
  felt this year had a vibe
• 7:13
  like they haven't had in
• 7:15
  five or six years.
• 7:22
  Coordinated communication,
• 7:23
  what a lovely concept.
• 7:29
  They should make some
• 7:29
  t-shirts using the slogan.
• 7:31
  They should.
• 7:32
  And I'm sure they will.
• 7:33
  You know, they've,
• 7:34
  they've rebranded all of
• 7:35
  their marketing to that old school,
• 7:39
  forging elite fitness, pukey,
• 7:41
  the clown routine is the enemy,
• 7:45
  all those things.
• 7:46
  So I do not,
• 7:48
  it would not surprise me that
• 7:49
  they are going to make
• 7:50
  these into shirts as well,
• 7:53
  because it's getting back to,
• 7:55
  you got to put in the work.
• 7:59
  jose got those two helps add
• 8:01
  it to the gym page right
• 8:04
  yeah if you're if you're
• 8:05
  building up a social media
• 8:07
  presence or a website now
• 8:09
  you have these assets to
• 8:11
  put on your website uh to
• 8:13
  to kind of pump people up I
• 8:19
  love the campaign finally
• 8:22
  we got a rosy we got a rosy
• 8:25
  view photography sighting
• 8:28
  jess is in the building god
• 8:30
  I miss her some of the most
• 8:33
  fun times at events were
• 8:35
  with her and jamie and the
• 8:38
  giggle fest that would take
• 8:40
  place uh but she's busy
• 8:44
  creating a human being
• 8:45
  right now and I can't wait
• 8:47
  to see what happens there
• 8:55
  Alito, not to be a party pooper,
• 8:57
  but did you see Hiller's reel?
• 8:59
  Is it true Will and Jackson
• 9:00
  could be the potential new owners?
• 9:03
  I do not know, Lito.
• 9:04
  I just saw that myself.
• 9:06
  I have not been able to
• 9:08
  reach out to Hiller yet.
• 9:10
  I'll reach out to him
• 9:12
  probably after the show.
• 9:13
  And then maybe we can
• 9:14
  discuss more tomorrow when Corey's on.
• 9:18
  But I'll reach out and find
• 9:19
  out how true the rumor is
• 9:22
  and how much I can say.
• 9:24
  But we'll see.
• 9:25
  Jess, I miss you too.
• 9:30
  Um,
• 9:31
  Scott's only been asking for this for
• 9:33
  about three years.
• 9:35
  Yeah.
• 9:35
  Just communicate,
• 9:36
  just have like real press releases.
• 9:39
  That's what this is.
• 9:41
  This is what professional
• 9:42
  organizations do.
• 9:44
  They create a press release
• 9:45
  to give to the press,
• 9:47
  to give to the media,
• 9:48
  to send out their message all.
• 9:51
  And because you're controlling the message,
• 9:54
  you now send out something
• 9:57
  important and valuable for your company.
• 10:03
  Yes.
• 10:04
  Yes.
• 10:05
  And yes.
• 10:07
  So anyway,
• 10:08
  I wanted to share with you how
• 10:10
  it was sent to us and how
• 10:12
  they have changed the way
• 10:13
  they've been doing things.
• 10:16
  Um, so yeah, really excited about that.
• 10:27
  On a side note,
• 10:28
  one thing that's been killing me is,
• 10:30
  you know, I live here in Columbus and
• 10:34
  the seven K run was announced.
• 10:36
  I am getting DMS from
• 10:40
  masters athletes asking me
• 10:42
  what the terrain is like, uh,
• 10:45
  for the seven K run,
• 10:47
  what the path looks like.
• 10:50
  Um, so I'm going to tell all of you here,
• 10:53
  if you're a masters athlete,
• 10:56
  it is a downtown walking, running path,
• 11:00
  It is very urban.
• 11:02
  That means it's paved, I believe,
• 11:04
  the entire way.
• 11:06
  It is paved the entire way.
• 11:09
  And it's pretty flat.
• 11:15
  If there might be a slight
• 11:16
  uphill grade out with a
• 11:18
  slight downhill grade back, but man,
• 11:22
  Columbus is flat.
• 11:24
  There just is not...
• 11:27
  any there's no I grew up in
• 11:30
  western pennsylvania in the
• 11:32
  appalachian mountains there
• 11:34
  are no hills or mountains
• 11:35
  here in ohio um so yes it's
• 11:41
  very flat very a very easy
• 11:43
  run um brett is telling all
• 11:46
  of his opponents very hilly
• 11:49
  wear trail running shoes
• 11:50
  very muddy yeah we want a
• 11:56
  level playing field
• 11:59
  Level playing field.
• 12:02
  All right.
• 12:02
  We're going to get into some
• 12:03
  pettiness now.
• 12:08
  I thought this was going to be over.
• 12:13
  The real question is,
• 12:15
  what are the temperatures like?
• 12:18
  Dude.
• 12:20
  The temperature could be anything.
• 12:22
  The saying here in Ohio is,
• 12:24
  if you don't like the weather,
• 12:26
  just wait ten minutes and it'll change.
• 12:30
  Right now, it has been moderately warm,
• 12:36
  no rain, and dry.
• 12:41
  So that is what it's been
• 12:42
  for a week or so.
• 12:46
  who people are here for the petty.
• 12:50
  Okay.
• 12:53
  Yes,
• 12:53
  just an easy seven K. No problem at all.
• 12:59
  Okay,
• 12:59
  so if most of you have been following
• 13:01
  the story,
• 13:04
  Hiller made a video about me
• 13:06
  and Lauren Khalil a few weeks back.
• 13:10
  Lauren and I have had a
• 13:11
  discussion since then.
• 13:13
  We talked it all out.
• 13:14
  But she has been on shows
• 13:17
  and the topic goes to that
• 13:21
  she said she had enhanced
• 13:23
  access and really didn't
• 13:26
  and that she couldn't read.
• 13:27
  She goes to Sylvan Learning
• 13:29
  Center and that she wasn't
• 13:33
  able to read her email that
• 13:35
  said she just had regular access.
• 13:38
  And that's fine.
• 13:40
  If that's her story, that's fine.
• 13:42
  But what's missing in all that is
• 13:44
  that my original statement
• 13:46
  was that karma finally came
• 13:48
  around because people were
• 13:50
  not treating each other
• 13:52
  with respect and dignity.
• 13:55
  And listen,
• 13:56
  you can come at me all you want,
• 13:58
  and I'm pretty laid back about it.
• 14:01
  I don't get upset.
• 14:02
  I don't say what you will about me.
• 14:06
  I'm all good.
• 14:09
  Mess with my family, we got a problem.
• 14:13
  And what happened was Lauren
• 14:15
  messed with my family.
• 14:17
  She messed with Cheryl.
• 14:18
  She messed with Jamie.
• 14:20
  She made them think that she
• 14:22
  had more access than we did.
• 14:25
  There was a shove involved.
• 14:27
  There was stuff like that to
• 14:29
  get interviews at the
• 14:32
  semifinals in twenty twenty three.
• 14:36
  I believe twenty twenty three.
• 14:40
  So.
• 14:42
  that was my karma thing my
• 14:45
  karma thing was that that
• 14:48
  finally the people that
• 14:51
  have been rude to others
• 14:53
  didn't get the access and
• 14:58
  we finally did and dang it
• 15:04
  that that point has been
• 15:05
  lost over the fact that she
• 15:09
  said that she couldn't read
• 15:12
  her email and now
• 15:13
  everybody's forgiving her
• 15:15
  so anyway on the I'm going
• 15:18
  to share a screen because I
• 15:22
  didn't like normally I
• 15:23
  would not share these
• 15:24
  comments with you all live
• 15:27
  on a podcast but they went
• 15:29
  in a direction that I just didn't like
• 15:32
  so I was listening to in the
• 15:34
  box office the two girls on
• 15:37
  thursday night on be
• 15:39
  friendly and they were
• 15:40
  talking about how it's all
• 15:43
  over and lauren actually
• 15:44
  did get some content and
• 15:46
  blah blah blah and so what
• 15:49
  I did is I simply wrote a
• 15:51
  comment and it's right here
• 15:54
  in the middle um here we go so
• 16:01
  I said about the Lauren video, Hiller did,
• 16:08
  was more than did she read
• 16:09
  the email correctly.
• 16:11
  Lauren was still extremely
• 16:13
  rude and mean to the female
• 16:14
  members of my team.
• 16:16
  She made them feel less than
• 16:18
  her and portrayed a story
• 16:20
  that she was entitled to
• 16:21
  more because the company she was with.
• 16:26
  And then I said,
• 16:27
  that is more icky than any
• 16:29
  Hiller video because they
• 16:31
  were dogging Hiller for the video.
• 16:35
  Then Caitlin comes in and says,
• 16:37
  quick question.
• 16:39
  Do you think what someone
• 16:40
  like Dents does publicly to
• 16:42
  thousands of people is any different?
• 16:47
  one this story had nothing
• 16:49
  to do with jenny from dense
• 16:51
  updates so where caitlyn's
• 16:54
  going is I don't and I do
• 16:56
  not understand so I said to
• 16:59
  her caitlyn I'm just
• 17:01
  pointing out that the
• 17:02
  original issue was me
• 17:03
  saying that people finally
• 17:05
  got karma with credentials
• 17:06
  at the games I did not
• 17:08
  mention names others did
• 17:09
  but now we are forgiving
• 17:11
  lauren because she couldn't
• 17:12
  read her reading is not why
• 17:14
  I said what I said
• 17:16
  was all I was pointing out.
• 17:17
  Just a major misdirection
• 17:19
  from the original story as
• 17:20
  someone who has scratched
• 17:21
  and clawed for everything
• 17:23
  for six years and been
• 17:24
  treated very poorly at times.
• 17:26
  I felt like there was
• 17:27
  finally a time for karma.
• 17:33
  Then Mesa jumps in and says,
• 17:37
  feel like this avoided the question hard.
• 17:40
  Where I responded,
• 17:41
  I felt like the question
• 17:42
  was diverting me away from
• 17:44
  the original point.
• 17:46
  And then Mesa called me a politician.
• 17:51
  Where I came back and said,
• 17:52
  the question wasn't
• 17:53
  relevant to the original story.
• 17:55
  Jenny has never been mean or
• 17:57
  rude to me or my team.
• 17:59
  Lauren was,
• 18:00
  and I was just setting the
• 18:01
  record straight.
• 18:04
  So why, I don't understand why...
• 18:07
  When you're arguing about a point,
• 18:09
  we have to bring in other
• 18:11
  people into this story that
• 18:13
  have nothing to do with it
• 18:15
  and change the argument to
• 18:16
  something else.
• 18:20
  Jenny has been nothing but
• 18:21
  kind to me and my team.
• 18:24
  Why do I need to get into a
• 18:25
  fight about Jenny?
• 18:28
  That's not what this was about.
• 18:31
  This was about someone being
• 18:33
  rude to the female members of my team.
• 18:37
  And getting access above
• 18:42
  what I had when we had the same accesses.
• 18:47
  That's all it was about.
• 18:48
  And they're trying to bring
• 18:49
  in Hiller and Jenny and all
• 18:52
  these other people about
• 18:53
  what's going on to divert
• 18:55
  you away from the original
• 18:57
  story of what happened.
• 19:05
  This was about Lauren and
• 19:06
  others being rude to my team.
• 19:11
  Not Jenny.
• 19:18
  Linda, don't mess with Scott's team.
• 19:20
  Love it.
• 19:21
  Honestly, like, come at me all you want.
• 19:23
  I can take it.
• 19:25
  Don't mess with my family.
• 19:35
  The Clydesdale Army will not
• 19:37
  stand for that.
• 19:43
  So anyway,
• 19:51
  and they're trying to justify
• 19:52
  the original point.
• 19:53
  I think you're right.
• 19:54
  Train olive.
• 19:56
  It sucks.
• 19:58
  I didn't.
• 20:02
  All I said originally was karma.
• 20:04
  Finally bit people in the
• 20:06
  ass where it needed to.
• 20:07
  That was it.
• 20:09
  And now they're trying to
• 20:10
  bring this into everybody
• 20:11
  else in space that they
• 20:13
  don't get along with.
• 20:20
  I just hate it.
• 20:25
  Jess was in Orlando when this all began.
• 20:31
  And I don't know if she wants to jump in.
• 20:34
  But Lauren was rude to Cheryl and Jamie.
• 20:39
  And where did Lauren say she
• 20:45
  couldn't read?
• 20:46
  She said it on the Talking
• 20:48
  Elite Fitness podcast.
• 20:50
  She said it on the podcast
• 20:52
  with Caitlin and Mesa that
• 20:55
  she misread her email,
• 20:57
  thought she had enhanced
• 20:58
  access when she didn't.
• 21:01
  that's what everything got
• 21:02
  diverted to and not the
• 21:03
  original issue um does
• 21:15
  anyone actually watch that
• 21:16
  show I guess besides you I
• 21:18
  tried out of boredom and
• 21:19
  just couldn't do it so I
• 21:23
  don't I don't know what
• 21:23
  their numbers are um I try
• 21:26
  to give everybody a chance
• 21:28
  I think everybody deserves a voice
• 21:32
  If you listen to my first ten shows,
• 21:34
  they are probably god-awful.
• 21:36
  But I didn't have any viewers back then.
• 21:39
  I had like ten people watching back then.
• 21:47
  So I got to experience all
• 21:52
  of this stuff organically
• 21:55
  in a slow pace where I
• 21:57
  could get better at what I
• 21:59
  did before people actually saw me.
• 22:03
  They jumped on to Be Friendly Fitness,
• 22:05
  which is great for them,
• 22:07
  but you're going to have
• 22:07
  more eyes on you right off the bat.
• 22:10
  And you've got to get better pretty fast.
• 22:16
  So I've been giving them,
• 22:17
  I don't listen to every episode.
• 22:19
  I listen to them
• 22:20
  periodically because if they get better,
• 22:23
  maybe they bring something
• 22:24
  to the table that I'm
• 22:24
  missing with other podcasts.
• 22:35
  CrossFit Mesa said,
• 22:37
  CrossFitters don't do one rep maxes.
• 22:39
  I'm out.
• 22:44
  they say things that I don't
• 22:45
  necessarily agree with, but that's okay.
• 22:48
  It's okay to not agree with things.
• 22:51
  I'm just trying to give them
• 22:52
  the benefit of the doubt as
• 22:53
  they're growing and maybe getting better.
• 22:56
  But,
• 23:00
  but when you're coming at me or that
• 23:02
  you're, you're missing the original point,
• 23:04
  I don't, I had to defend my people.
• 23:14
  so has bee friendly grown or
• 23:19
  lost followers I'm a I I I
• 23:22
  don't really track the
• 23:23
  numbers when I first
• 23:25
  started doing podcasts this
• 23:27
  podcast I was so obsessed
• 23:29
  with the numbers now I just
• 23:31
  I I don't even pay attention to them um
• 23:48
  Kate solid Mesa gives me a fight,
• 23:50
  know it all.
• 23:51
  And then says, I program, I know this.
• 23:56
  I wish they would.
• 24:00
  I wish they would give more
• 24:02
  facts behind their opinions,
• 24:06
  but they're entitled to their opinion.
• 24:08
  I just wish it had more fact
• 24:09
  based behind it.
• 24:12
  And we'll see.
• 24:20
  I give them credit,
• 24:20
  the live chat while they're on,
• 24:22
  as people just, they're hating on them.
• 24:25
  Again, I'm trying to give them a chance.
• 24:30
  I've gone back and listened
• 24:31
  to probably two-thirds of their stuff.
• 24:39
  Not everything I like, but...
• 24:41
  is out there,
• 24:41
  but I try to listen to it to
• 24:43
  get differing perspectives,
• 24:45
  differing opinions, um,
• 24:47
  that just make my overall
• 24:49
  take on things more
• 24:51
  complete and gives me
• 24:54
  fodder for like how I would
• 24:55
  argue that point, things like that.
• 25:00
  So that's what I,
• 25:04
  that's why I listened to different stuff.
• 25:16
  Jake at the Bay show
• 25:18
  question out of an average
• 25:19
  hour of live media content.
• 25:21
  How many minutes are
• 25:22
  actually dedicated to the
• 25:23
  actual CrossFit and
• 25:24
  affiliate away from
• 25:26
  political nonsense and games chat?
• 25:35
  Probably not enough, but when you do this,
• 25:42
  When you do this daily,
• 25:45
  you have to come up with
• 25:46
  things that peak an
• 25:49
  interest in people in the
• 25:50
  chat to bring back with more comments.
• 25:54
  That's what this show is.
• 25:55
  This is a hangout show.
• 25:59
  I'm a moderator of a hangout
• 26:02
  where I just bring up
• 26:03
  topics and we just banter back and forth.
• 26:09
  And that's how I kind of view this show.
• 26:15
  Um, there we go.
• 26:16
  Uh, draw your dagger.
• 26:17
  I took like a six to nine
• 26:19
  month break from all things.
• 26:20
  CrossFit media coming back
• 26:22
  into has been interesting.
• 26:24
  Yeah.
• 26:25
  You took a weird six to nine months off,
• 26:28
  probably the craziest six
• 26:30
  to nine months in my
• 26:32
  history of doing content.
• 26:40
  Uh, uh,
• 26:41
  Jamie and Carolyn are great
• 26:43
  on Sunday shows.
• 26:44
  They are.
• 26:47
  They're just great overall.
• 26:49
  They're great human beings.
• 26:57
  I think I'm in that, Jake.
• 26:59
  I think we probably do more
• 27:01
  games talk than anything else.
• 27:03
  But like I led the show off
• 27:04
  with the new marketing
• 27:05
  campaign and how CrossFit
• 27:08
  was great at communicating that,
• 27:11
  delivering assets.
• 27:13
  But I'm probably way more
• 27:16
  games talk than I am
• 27:18
  affiliate talk for sure.
• 27:28
  I agree.
• 27:28
  Everyone should get out of
• 27:29
  their echo chambers.
• 27:32
  And it makes me uncomfortable, probably.
• 27:34
  It does make me
• 27:34
  uncomfortable to go listen
• 27:36
  to other people's with
• 27:38
  different opinions.
• 27:39
  But they have the right to
• 27:41
  convince me otherwise of my opinion.
• 27:53
  This is why people talk
• 27:54
  about what people talk
• 27:56
  about while doing their
• 27:56
  back squat sets at the
• 27:58
  beginning of a class.
• 28:00
  I think that's dead on Jenny that on.
• 28:06
  think that that's what I'm
• 28:07
  trying to do here this is a
• 28:09
  hangout show when when
• 28:11
  you're sitting around the
• 28:11
  rig and you're you're doing
• 28:14
  your lifts and you're
• 28:14
  talking to your buddies
• 28:16
  that's what I'm trying to
• 28:18
  accomplish with this show
• 28:20
  it's just really wild
• 28:22
  trying to come up with uh
• 28:26
  topics every day uh to do that so
• 28:43
  I miss seeing cat.
• 28:45
  It says train all of, I do too.
• 28:47
  But cat's got bigger things
• 28:49
  in our life going on right now.
• 28:51
  Yeah.
• 28:54
  And I'll let her tell those stories.
• 28:56
  Uh,
• 28:57
  but she's got a lot going on and she
• 28:59
  doesn't, she doesn't,
• 29:00
  she's not out off of our
• 29:01
  team by any stretch.
• 29:03
  Uh, when she's ready to come back,
• 29:04
  she'll come back.
• 29:05
  Um,
• 29:06
  but she's got bigger things in her life
• 29:09
  right now that she has to
• 29:10
  take care of rather than
• 29:12
  talk on a microphone.
• 29:17
  Uh, David Johnson.
• 29:18
  I spend most of my time
• 29:19
  trash talking and trying to
• 29:21
  get people to do some sort
• 29:22
  of nonsense with me.
• 29:24
  Yeah.
• 29:33
  Jake, we all have a place in space.
• 29:36
  I was asking for research purposes.
• 29:39
  I think what happens is that
• 29:48
  the numbers impact what we do.
• 29:51
  And it's really hard to stay
• 29:53
  true to what you want to be
• 29:55
  when you see the numbers go
• 29:57
  up when you talk about different things.
• 29:59
  It's really, really hard.
• 30:03
  That's why I try to ignore the numbers.
• 30:05
  The numbers have just been
• 30:06
  insane over the last month
• 30:11
  and a half for me since
• 30:13
  Hiller put out that video.
• 30:17
  Like we have gone up nearly
• 30:20
  six hundred subscribers.
• 30:22
  We have doubled watch time.
• 30:24
  It's just been a crazy, crazy six weeks.
• 30:28
  And I'm just trying to hone
• 30:31
  in on what is important to me.
• 30:35
  So and I saw Rosie say or
• 30:38
  just say that she made a comment that.
• 30:44
  about what we talked about in Orlando.
• 30:47
  I did feel like though,
• 30:49
  like we weren't good enough
• 30:51
  to be out there,
• 30:51
  but everyone in media
• 30:53
  deserves to have access.
• 30:54
  We are all trying to do the same job,
• 30:57
  right?
• 31:05
  All right.
• 31:15
  This is when I'm warming up kind of show.
• 31:17
  There you go, Jay Birch.
• 31:23
  I miss Kat's dating show.
• 31:24
  I do too.
• 31:25
  I thought it was great.
• 31:27
  I thought she did a great job with that,
• 31:29
  but now she's not dating.
• 31:31
  So I don't know where she goes with that.
• 31:40
  So we'll see where she goes
• 31:42
  with that anyway.
• 31:49
  There's a mud chucking
• 31:49
  element to those box ladies.
• 31:51
  It comes both ways,
• 31:53
  but the vibe was sort of
• 31:54
  set by their first episode.
• 32:00
  I don't disagree.
• 32:01
  And like I said, I just,
• 32:03
  I try to watch every, because again,
• 32:07
  thank God nobody's
• 32:08
  listening to my first ten episodes.
• 32:10
  And I only had like my mom
• 32:12
  listening and Amy's dad listening.
• 32:16
  We were terrible.
• 32:17
  We were terrible in our
• 32:18
  first ten episodes.
• 32:20
  But we did it in silence
• 32:21
  because nobody was watching.
• 32:25
  And it allowed us to get
• 32:26
  better before people saw us.
• 32:34
  Kipping it real,
• 32:35
  I like their podcast
• 32:37
  because it's fun to get angry and argue.
• 32:40
  I don't mind them.
• 32:41
  I just disagree with everything they say.
• 32:45
  Well,
• 32:45
  and it gives you fodder for your channel.
• 32:55
  Very true.
• 32:55
  My profession is a coach,
• 32:57
  and my priority is just that.
• 32:59
  I get to host a show where I
• 33:01
  get to speak to people about affiliates.
• 33:03
  It's an insane opportunity.
• 33:05
  Many are bored, but that's okay.
• 33:09
  Right,
• 33:09
  and I love that you stay true to that.
• 33:12
  I love that you stay true to that.
• 33:17
  So many people are tempted by other stuff.
• 33:22
  Trained Olive,
• 33:23
  we need Kat's relationship show next.
• 33:26
  There you go.
• 33:41
  have to say lauren khalil
• 33:42
  does some seller interviews
• 33:43
  quite often sometimes
• 33:44
  journalists develop
• 33:45
  slightly nasty elbows
• 33:51
  here's my thing uh-huh and
• 33:54
  that is that lauren and I
• 33:56
  were at morning chalk up at
• 33:57
  the same time lauren and I
• 33:59
  were both treated very
• 34:02
  poorly while we were at the
• 34:04
  morning chalk up at that
• 34:05
  moment we became very good friends
• 34:10
  What's been disappointing to
• 34:12
  me is as she got more
• 34:14
  popular and then got with
• 34:16
  Talking Elite Fitness,
• 34:18
  then she started doing the
• 34:19
  same types of things that
• 34:22
  we were complaining about
• 34:23
  at Morning Chalk Up.
• 34:25
  That's why it probably hits
• 34:26
  me harder than others
• 34:31
  because we had this common misery and
• 34:34
  that we bonded over.
• 34:37
  And then as she got better,
• 34:39
  she kind of forgot about
• 34:40
  having to clear that hurdle herself.
• 34:43
  And that's, what's been disappointing.
• 34:47
  And I told her that I've
• 34:48
  told her all of this in a
• 34:51
  DM directly to her.
• 35:13
  I'm missing something here.
• 35:23
  What are your thoughts on
• 35:24
  media people covering
• 35:25
  athletes that they didn't
• 35:26
  get credentials for?
• 35:31
  Yeah, I need them.
• 35:33
  I need more information
• 35:35
  covering them inside the
• 35:36
  ropes or covering them outside the ropes.
• 36:03
  I will say Lauren was
• 36:04
  straight hustling on the
• 36:05
  street corner literally she
• 36:06
  was every time I walked
• 36:08
  past her she was interviewing somebody.
• 36:13
  And she was completely
• 36:14
  outside the venue in
• 36:16
  between the two buildings
• 36:17
  just nailing interview after interview.
• 36:33
  Scott, I didn't know you were at MCU.
• 36:36
  It was such a short amount of time,
• 36:37
  Jonathan, that most people don't.
• 36:46
  I've shown clips from it
• 36:47
  from my time there.
• 36:48
  Kat and I were both there.
• 36:50
  We made an offer to LaFranco
• 36:55
  to take over their...
• 36:58
  uh bottom line show and
• 37:00
  their youtube channel and
• 37:02
  that's why uh and then I
• 37:06
  don't know it I've talked
• 37:08
  about it a lot of times it
• 37:10
  just didn't go well uh and
• 37:12
  then I made it to the games
• 37:14
  that year with them they
• 37:16
  lost a bunch of my
• 37:17
  interviews and then I just
• 37:18
  quit and started my own company
• 37:36
  Wow.
• 37:39
  Okay, I'm gonna have to skip ahead anyway.
• 37:44
  So that's that.
• 37:46
  The other thing is,
• 37:47
  I got a lot of comments
• 37:48
  about talking about spread
• 37:50
  getting screwed yesterday.
• 37:52
  And that
• 37:54
  It's an invitational,
• 37:55
  and they can invite whoever they want.
• 37:57
  I said yesterday it was an invitational,
• 38:00
  and Tier could invite whoever they want.
• 38:02
  But again,
• 38:03
  this is a talk show where we
• 38:04
  just hang out, shoot the shit.
• 38:07
  And so I just presented the
• 38:08
  idea that James actually
• 38:10
  has a better resume than
• 38:13
  the other members of that team.
• 38:16
  He has a better resume than...
• 38:20
  than hopper pepper and
• 38:23
  madaris right now in the
• 38:24
  last two years better
• 38:28
  finishes more wins it's
• 38:32
  insane but I know that tier
• 38:36
  can invite whoever they
• 38:37
  want I get that fact but it
• 38:40
  doesn't make for a good talk show
• 39:04
  Isn't this similar to Rogue, though?
• 39:05
  They can invite who they want.
• 39:07
  I get that.
• 39:08
  I totally get it.
• 39:10
  I get they can do that.
• 39:12
  But that does not make for
• 39:14
  good talk show material.
• 39:17
  If I'm stacking up resumes right now,
• 39:20
  James is in the lead of the
• 39:23
  people in the North American region.
• 39:26
  That's all I'm saying.
• 39:28
  But I get that they can
• 39:30
  invite whoever they want.
• 39:32
  If they don't want James on the team,
• 39:34
  they don't have to invite him.
• 39:36
  That is their prerogative.
• 39:37
  It is their event.
• 39:38
  It is their show.
• 39:40
  I get all that.
• 39:41
  But I'm just saying, stacking resumes,
• 39:46
  James should have been the
• 39:47
  number one pick.
• 39:55
  So...
• 40:01
  It's more than Pat.
• 40:03
  James has a better resume
• 40:04
  than Hopper and Pepper.
• 40:07
  James has finished higher
• 40:08
  than Dallin Pepper in the last two games,
• 40:11
  and he won Wadapalooza.
• 40:21
  And he took second at WFP,
• 40:22
  if you want to count that.
• 40:31
  team north america is going
• 40:32
  to get spanked I'm not
• 40:33
  happy about it I don't even
• 40:36
  think we have the final for
• 40:37
  team north america because
• 40:39
  I'm I don't think alex is
• 40:42
  going to compete she needs
• 40:44
  to rest up that leg and get
• 40:46
  it healed for the final
• 40:48
  tour stop of wfp and they
• 40:51
  want her ready for next season
• 41:01
  so uh there's that I think
• 41:11
  alex is going to withdraw
• 41:13
  from this event alexis if
• 41:17
  her back is healed will
• 41:19
  probably do it but I think
• 41:21
  alex will and maybe alexis
• 41:24
  too you might be right
• 41:25
  cross fat all right
• 41:31
  I did want to talk about
• 41:32
  Dave's Week in Review real quick.
• 41:34
  I thought there were a couple good points.
• 41:36
  Someone brought up that the
• 41:39
  Masters got no promotion at
• 41:42
  the elite CrossFit Games,
• 41:44
  and I thought that that was
• 41:46
  a big miss on CrossFit's part.
• 41:49
  You have plenty of airtime.
• 41:50
  You have millions of viewers.
• 41:52
  It would have been really a
• 41:54
  cool synergy to have the
• 41:56
  age group and adaptive
• 41:57
  athletes featured in some
• 42:00
  kind of way in promoting
• 42:01
  their upcoming events.
• 42:03
  I think that was a big miss.
• 42:06
  If I'm going to give them
• 42:07
  all the kudos for the other
• 42:09
  stuff the media team has been doing,
• 42:11
  that has been a huge miss.
• 42:14
  Huge miss.
• 42:16
  Um...
• 42:24
  I thought it was interesting
• 42:25
  that he saw the Wells
• 42:27
  sisters at the airport and
• 42:29
  Will Morad and then just
• 42:31
  kind of glossed over it.
• 42:34
  Said he saw Sidney and
• 42:35
  Brooke and Will at the
• 42:37
  airport and then glossed
• 42:38
  right over that and kept moving.
• 42:41
  I thought that was an interesting mention.
• 42:46
  Um, he did say the thirty,
• 42:49
  the thirty size field was
• 42:52
  pretty right on.
• 42:54
  Don't write it in the book yet,
• 42:56
  but probably going to be here to stay.
• 43:02
  Um,
• 43:04
  I will tell you that the programming of
• 43:08
  the Masters CrossFit Games,
• 43:11
  I went into a meeting
• 43:12
  yesterday for an hour and
• 43:14
  I came out and Carolyn and Jamie,
• 43:17
  there were forty eight
• 43:18
  messages on my phone back
• 43:20
  and forth about their
• 43:22
  thoughts on what's been
• 43:23
  released for the master's
• 43:24
  programming and how crazy that is.
• 43:31
  I don't know.
• 43:36
  I don't know if.
• 43:40
  these that programming for
• 43:42
  the masters games is going
• 43:43
  to find the fittest.
• 43:45
  I think if they look at it as their event,
• 43:47
  they want to program it
• 43:48
  like they would like.
• 43:49
  And I don't think that they
• 43:51
  are programming it to find
• 43:53
  the fittest on earth.
• 43:54
  And that there are people
• 43:55
  that take this very
• 43:56
  seriously and want to win.
• 43:57
  The two women on my show on Sunday night,
• 44:00
  don't want to just show up.
• 44:02
  They're there to win.
• 44:04
  And it means a lot to them.
• 44:12
  Masters programming is all
• 44:13
  fairly quick workouts in a
• 44:15
  similar time domain.
• 44:16
  That is right.
• 44:20
  That is right.
• 44:28
  Chris,
• 44:28
  we talked about this briefly that I
• 44:31
  don't know anything about
• 44:32
  that at this point.
• 44:36
  I'm going to look into it a
• 44:36
  little bit more.
• 44:42
  Our eMasters programming, I agree, Megan.
• 44:45
  Yes, it is.
• 44:52
  There are people there that want to win.
• 44:54
  There are people there that
• 44:55
  are ultra competitive,
• 44:57
  and they deserve to get
• 44:58
  that chance as the best in the world.
• 45:02
  There are also people there
• 45:03
  that are happy to be there.
• 45:04
  We shouldn't be programming
• 45:06
  for the people happy to be there.
• 45:09
  Just like everything else in CrossFit,
• 45:11
  you program for the best
• 45:13
  and then you scale for the rest.
• 45:15
  This should be to find the
• 45:17
  fittest on earth in each age group.
• 45:29
  Shanna,
• 45:29
  some Masters athletes work just as
• 45:32
  hard as the elites.
• 45:33
  Amen, sister.
• 45:38
  Age group CrossFit Games
• 45:39
  should have its own social.
• 45:43
  I think it's bizarre that
• 45:44
  all of the events are
• 45:45
  released on Legends and not
• 45:47
  on the CrossFit Games site.
• 45:50
  Yes, you let somebody else take over,
• 45:53
  but it doesn't mean that
• 45:55
  it's not a part of the CrossFit Games.
• 45:58
  And the further we're
• 46:00
  getting away from that split,
• 46:02
  the more it appears that HQ
• 46:04
  is looking at that as no
• 46:06
  longer part of the games.
• 46:09
  It is the age group CrossFit games.
• 46:12
  It is just as elite as the
• 46:13
  elite for each age group
• 46:16
  that they represent.
• 46:26
  Age group CrossFit games
• 46:27
  should have its own IG page.
• 46:28
  Legends trying to do both of
• 46:30
  their comps on the page is confusing.
• 46:32
  I've heard that too.
• 46:34
  There's,
• 46:34
  there were workouts out there for
• 46:36
  the qualifier and workouts
• 46:38
  out there for the games.
• 46:44
  It's an, it's, it is very, very confused,
• 46:47
  confusing.
• 46:52
  We're going to get into a lot more detail,
• 46:54
  Shanna, about the programming.
• 46:59
  I will tell you that my
• 47:00
  co-hosts believe that no
• 47:04
  woman being involved in the
• 47:06
  programming is a big miss
• 47:08
  and that these are written
• 47:10
  for men and they are scaled
• 47:12
  improperly for the women.
• 47:16
  They also believe that the
• 47:18
  programming at the higher levels,
• 47:21
  the sixty, sixty five,
• 47:23
  seventy plus are very,
• 47:25
  very skewed in a bad and poor direction.
• 47:31
  And so they would like to
• 47:34
  see more done there and
• 47:36
  probably more will be
• 47:37
  changed by the time we get there.
• 47:40
  But that's.
• 47:41
  That's a little bit weird as well.
• 47:56
  Shanna,
• 47:57
  I offered to test for them this year.
• 47:58
  They declined.
• 48:02
  Very obvious no proper testing was done.
• 48:07
  Programming gets diluted due
• 48:08
  to the number of athletes,
• 48:09
  but if you criticize it,
• 48:11
  you're being negative and
• 48:12
  not grateful for the opportunity.
• 48:18
  Also,
• 48:19
  I didn't know this was a Bob and Joe
• 48:20
  games.
• 48:30
  How about the portion of the
• 48:31
  Sunday show is them
• 48:32
  tweaking the workouts to
• 48:33
  what they think they should be?
• 48:38
  I will bring that up to them,
• 48:39
  but I don't want to put
• 48:40
  them in that position
• 48:42
  knowing they have to
• 48:42
  compete in a week after
• 48:45
  Sunday at the games that
• 48:50
  they just criticized.
• 48:54
  I hope that makes sense.
• 49:08
  They will be adding a
• 49:08
  hundred meters to the runs.
• 49:14
  Again, I am not a programming expert.
• 49:16
  I leave it up to the women I
• 49:18
  hang out with.
• 49:19
  They seem to know much more than I do.
• 49:21
  But yeah.
• 49:27
  Well, anyway.
• 49:27
  Anyway.
• 49:29
  have lots to talk about the
• 49:30
  rest of the week I we were
• 49:32
  just getting started on the
• 49:33
  comment section uh we're
• 49:35
  just getting started on all
• 49:37
  the other stuff um I wrote
• 49:42
  a note that I don't even
• 49:43
  understand from dave's week
• 49:44
  in review so I'll have to
• 49:46
  go check that out but guys
• 49:48
  I got to get back to work
• 49:50
  you guys need to get back
• 49:51
  to work as well so with that
• 49:55
  Come on knuckleheads, get back to work.
• 49:58
  I will see you all tomorrow
• 49:59
  with Corey for lunch with the Clydesdale.
• 50:04
  Bye guys.
