Every time I talk about the WFP,
0:06
the haters come out in the comments.
0:08
We're going to talk about it today on
0:12
the show.
0:13
Yeah, let's go.
0:26
I love the chase and the hunt,
0:27
and I set the pace when I'm running.
0:29
I always take what I want,
0:30
and I always give it one hundred.
0:32
Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.
0:33
Play the game like it's nothing.
0:35
I'm always thankful for something.
0:36
Don't take for granted, stay humble.
0:38
Now wake up!
0:39
It's time to look at the enemy.
0:42
Look in the mirror if he is no
0:44
friend to me.
0:45
What's going on, everybody?
0:48
Train Tulliv says it's lunchtime!
0:50
It most certainly is.
0:55
I just need to add that to the
0:56
soundboard so I don't have to do it
0:58
every time.
0:59
There's so many things we could put on
1:01
there.
1:02
I know we talked about it Wednesday,
1:03
but like, we really need the, the more,
1:05
you know, like visual,
1:07
be able to run across the screen every
1:08
now and again,
1:09
that's going to be fantastic.
1:11
Yeah.
1:12
Yeah.
1:12
I, um, in my head,
1:14
I have this thought of like,
1:16
you remember the old Flintstones cartoon
1:17
and how it started off with like the
1:19
whistle blowing and Fred's line sliding
1:22
down the tail.
1:23
Like it doesn't that say lunchtime to you?
1:30
Yeah.
1:31
As somebody who used to run a crane
1:33
at one hundred percent.
1:34
Yes, that is a thousand.
1:36
Yes.
1:36
You know,
1:37
it's wild as my best friend here used
1:38
to run a crane.
1:41
I must be attracted to crane operators,
1:43
man.
1:46
That was my job.
1:47
Before that was my job,
1:49
I absolutely enjoyed the shit out of it.
1:50
But where I was at before I came
1:54
to start doing this,
1:55
there was no possibility of me,
1:57
or I may say no,
1:58
very little possibility of me ever
2:00
advancing.
2:00
I was just going to be doing the
2:02
exact same thing over and over again for
2:06
however long I wanted to be there,
2:07
really and truly.
2:07
And I was like...
2:11
It's amazing because the travel that crane
2:14
operators have to do.
2:16
Sometimes.
2:17
Because he helped build the Brown Stadium
2:21
that's up now.
2:23
He got sent all over Ohio and West
2:26
Virginia and all that for different
2:29
operations.
2:30
So when I was...
2:33
I was driving pylons before,
2:34
so basically doing deep foundations for a
2:37
while.
2:38
And I learned how to run the cranes.
2:39
So I can drive various places in Baton
2:42
Rouge, not a whole lot,
2:43
but around New Orleans.
2:45
And I do it to my wife all
2:45
the time.
2:46
Whenever we come by, I'm like,
2:47
I drove to Posse for that.
2:48
I drove to Posse for that.
2:49
I drove to Posse for that.
2:50
And she does not give a flying shit
2:53
one way or another.
2:55
But I'm just like, I remember doing it.
2:57
I drove to Posse for that.
2:58
I drove to Posse for that.
2:59
I drove to Posse for that.
3:01
So there's a lot of that kind of
3:03
stuff that goes on.
3:04
Good stuff.
3:04
Sean in Oregon, quote of the day,
3:06
I must be attracted to crane operators.
3:08
Go ahead and clip that.
3:11
Megan,
3:11
my husband operated a forklift once.
3:13
It was pretty hot.
3:17
Good to know.
3:18
Good to know.
3:19
That's exciting right there.
3:23
That is exciting.
3:26
Yeah.
3:26
Yeah.
3:26
My buddy, my best friend here in Ohio,
3:28
he...
3:30
he actually got put into a rogue
3:32
commercial.
3:33
Oh, you know,
3:35
the rogues here and they were looking for
3:38
like everyday men who did a job and,
3:43
um, and, uh,
3:46
Uh,
3:47
and Crossfitted and they wanted to film
3:49
kind of that and make a commercial out
3:51
of it.
3:51
And, and he got picked.
3:54
And so they went to the gym.
3:56
I used to go to shred CrossFit,
3:59
filmed him there.
4:00
And then they went to his crane operator
4:02
office and filmed him just,
4:05
it was a rainy day,
4:06
so they couldn't do the outdoor filming.
4:07
So they only did like indoor stuff,
4:09
but yeah, he was in a commercial.
4:12
That's cool.
4:13
And I'll all, I'll try to find it.
4:16
i think it's still out on out on
4:19
youtube i'm in the background of the hype
4:25
video for the uh the legends put out
4:29
yesterday about us being thirty days out
4:32
you see me with i think this hat
4:34
on as a matter of fact in my
4:35
glasses watching
4:39
One of my best friend's wife and coach
4:42
go bananas and yelling at him.
4:44
It's pretty exciting.
4:46
Yeah.
4:47
I can't remember what it was called.
4:57
But anyway,
4:59
hopefully by the end of the show,
5:00
I'll find it.
5:04
Didn't know we were going to talk about
5:05
this.
5:07
Well, to be fair,
5:08
that's usually why I'm here.
5:09
So yeah.
5:13
Hey,
5:13
you're here when the news is slow and,
5:17
um, this is so dumb.
5:20
I hate YouTube search.
5:22
I hate the United States post office.
5:29
Found it, man.
5:33
Let's show it.
5:34
So this is, this is my best friend.
5:35
He, uh,
5:37
and his rogue commercial.
5:47
When one man, for whatever reason,
5:50
has the opportunity to lead an
5:52
extraordinary life,
5:55
he has no right to keep it to
5:57
himself.
6:04
Welding on the block for no reason,
6:05
all right?
6:12
So yeah, they just wanted the sparks.
6:14
So he was just hitting metal to make
6:17
it work.
6:17
You generally don't weld on the block.
6:26
Ramirez wants to know what's for lunch at
6:29
one of these right now.
6:33
Yeah, I don't know what's for lunch, man.
6:35
I just finished up all my chicken breast
6:37
yesterday.
6:38
I do have some like fajita chicken with
6:40
some peppers and onions.
6:42
Maybe I'll put that over some rice.
6:44
Sounds kind of good.
6:45
I mean, I say that.
6:48
That's what I'm having right now,
6:49
but that's what I had as well.
6:51
Chicken breast with butter sauce.
6:56
I love Indian food, Thai food,
6:57
all that good stuff.
6:58
That's what I've been eating all week.
7:01
over some gluten-free only because there's
7:04
only two ingredients in it uh fusilli
7:07
pasta because i was tired of eating rice
7:10
which takes a while for me to be
7:11
tired of eating rice so that sounds it
7:16
was it's pretty good i said i told
7:20
blair my uh my nutrition coach i was
7:23
like
7:23
Okay.
7:24
If I want to eat pasta.
7:25
And she was like, she started laughing.
7:27
She said, here, like one of these.
7:30
She said,
7:30
it doesn't have to be gluten-free,
7:31
but as long as it's got less than
7:32
ten ingredients on it,
7:33
you should be good to go.
7:34
And I was like,
7:36
just worried about how it was going to
7:36
affect my stomach because I've been eating
7:38
rice and just rice.
7:41
Every once in a while,
7:41
I eat bread for so long.
7:45
Mike DeVito ate chicken breast, rice,
7:47
and broccoli every meal,
7:48
and after one million times,
7:50
it still tastes like garbage,
7:52
but I'm too lazy to be creative.
7:55
At least you're healthy lazy.
7:58
Yeah.
7:58
Could be worse.
8:00
Could be worse.
8:01
Could be John Young going to get
8:02
McDonald's for the forty-eighth time.
8:05
Yeah.
8:05
Ramirez, Joseph Ramirez,
8:07
making your own pasta is the way to
8:09
go.
8:10
Joseph, I can cook,
8:12
but there's no way on God's green earth
8:14
I'm making pasta.
8:16
No, I don't know.
8:19
Someone donated us Chick-fil-A since our
8:21
city doesn't want to pay us,
8:22
so I'm holding out for that since I
8:24
never eat it.
8:27
Someone doesn't want to pay you.
8:29
I don't know what's going on.
8:30
Yeah, that sounds kind of...
8:36
I would probably be eating Chick-fil-A
8:37
either tonight or tomorrow morning.
8:39
Probably tomorrow at some point.
8:43
We had the... So...
8:46
Normally, my week's pretty solid, right?
8:48
Like, training in the morning,
8:50
training in the afternoon,
8:51
work during the day, coach on Wednesdays.
8:55
That's my rest day.
8:55
Come on here, whatever.
8:57
I went on Jamison and started playing
9:00
softball.
9:02
So this week was her last regular season
9:05
game was on Monday night.
9:08
Tuesday was fairly normal.
9:09
So Monday, like train, work, softball.
9:13
Wednesday,
9:13
she's also been doing CCD classes.
9:15
So Wednesday they had their first
9:17
reconciliation.
9:18
So Wednesday was coach.
9:21
Come on here.
9:23
First reconciliation,
9:24
which we don't really do stuff during the
9:25
week.
9:27
Last night.
9:28
So my son's at LSU.
9:29
He joined the LSU concert band.
9:33
They had their concert last night.
9:35
Jamison had her first game of their fall
9:38
tournament last night.
9:39
So Jennifer's in bad rooms.
9:42
I'm at softball.
9:42
Like,
9:44
we got all – it's just been bananas.
9:46
We got another game tonight.
9:47
If they win,
9:48
we play at ten-twenty tomorrow.
9:49
Like, it's – we have not stopped.
9:52
And the funny – I say the funny
9:53
thing,
9:54
there's more stuff that could –
9:57
there's more stuff going on that we should
10:00
be a part of or could be a
10:01
part of but can't because we're doing
10:02
because we got softball i used to it's
10:05
literally the has been the busiest week of
10:07
our entire lives it's insane when my
10:12
daughter was in high school she was part
10:13
of the the most popular marching band in
10:17
the area and they got invited to
10:19
everything and like it took up dude all
10:25
of our time
10:27
Brody did March of Man all the way
10:28
through high school.
10:29
And then she goes off to college,
10:32
and all of a sudden,
10:33
my wife and I are looking at each
10:34
other like, what the hell do we do?
10:39
And you've put off friends because you're
10:41
like,
10:41
I can't come out with you guys tonight
10:43
because we've got to go to this band
10:44
thing,
10:44
or we've got to go to this choir
10:46
thing.
10:47
And then your daughter leaves,
10:48
and you're like, well,
10:50
now there's crickets because everybody
10:51
stopped asking you.
10:52
Yeah.
10:52
You just assume that you can't.
10:57
And you're trying to figure it all out
10:58
again.
11:00
Marching band was insane.
11:03
People don't realize how much goes into
11:05
that.
11:05
But it starts in the summer and goes
11:09
all the way through.
11:10
I mean, shit,
11:12
we ran all the way through February,
11:15
I want to say, January,
11:16
something like that.
11:16
That's when state was around here.
11:19
It's a lot.
11:21
Football games on Friday night,
11:23
band competition on Saturday.
11:27
Megan,
11:27
I volunteered to coach my son's volleyball
11:29
team.
11:29
It has taken over our lives.
11:31
Thankful it's over next week.
11:33
Yeah.
11:34
Don't be, don't be so thankful though.
11:36
Like,
11:37
like love it because it goes by fast.
11:41
And then when it's gone, then you're like,
11:42
what, what do I do with my life?
11:44
And what's crazy is my daughter graduated
11:46
in twenty nineteen.
11:48
She goes off to college.
11:49
My wife and I start like going out
11:51
on Friday nights as like
11:55
between the two of us.
11:57
And then we get six months into that
11:59
and the world shuts down for COVID.
12:04
And we're like, what the hell?
12:07
And then our daughter sent back to us
12:10
and she's miserable because you can't be
12:11
at college.
12:13
And oh, it was horrible, man.
12:15
What a terrible time that was.
12:18
So yeah,
12:19
cherish the moments you get to spend with
12:21
your kids doing what they love.
12:27
Absolutely.
12:27
Yeah.
12:27
Prathvet says that.
12:30
We have five kids,
12:31
so I have many more years of it.
12:32
Yeah.
12:34
I had one.
12:36
I had one,
12:36
so it was all on that one kid.
12:38
And then when she was gone,
12:40
she was gone, man.
12:42
Yeah.
12:43
Brody's going to be nineteen in two weeks.
12:44
Jameson's going to be eight next week.
12:48
We got a little ways to go.
12:51
We got a little ways to go.
12:53
Now my daughter's in Montana.
12:54
She's coming home in a week.
12:59
By Thanksgiving?
13:00
Yeah.
13:02
So she's coming home the Friday night
13:05
before Thanksgiving.
13:07
So that's next week, right?
13:08
That's next week.
13:09
Yes, sir.
13:10
Dang.
13:11
She's thriving though, man.
13:14
She's killing it.
13:14
She just...
13:16
she just booked a gig where she's flying
13:18
on the private jet with the owner to
13:20
dallas to do some stuff um at a
13:24
big marketing show in dallas and man i
13:26
don't know she just it's really cool i
13:30
i can't even believe i can't even believe
13:33
what she's doing like the dad pride is
13:37
like through the roof oh yeah five percent
13:39
five percent it's awesome dude i'm happy
13:45
for y'all so um
13:48
Before I get into my rants and some
13:50
other stuff,
13:52
let's get a couple of business matters out
13:53
of the way.
13:53
So yesterday I talked about the WFP.
13:56
It was really not my intent to go
13:57
down like a big WFP rabbit hole,
14:00
but it just happens, right?
14:03
Because is it Jason Ainsley released that
14:07
information on a podcast that they're
14:10
meeting?
14:10
WFP is meeting with CrossFit.
14:12
They're meeting with the new perspective
14:14
owners, all of this kind of stuff, right?
14:18
Was that...
14:18
That was Ansley that said all that?
14:19
I thought that was a foreign dude.
14:22
It is a foreign dude.
14:23
I'm probably mixing... Yeah.
14:25
Ansley's not going to give him nothing.
14:27
Jason's a good dude.
14:28
Anyway, it's Rob.
14:30
Rob?
14:31
Something like that.
14:34
My head is spinning right now, right?
14:36
Yeah.
14:39
And so we talked about WP for I
14:42
don't know, fifteen, twenty minutes.
14:45
So...
14:49
So then I get comments like,
14:52
can you stop talking about the WFP?
14:54
Can we talk about something other than the
14:56
WFP?
14:57
All these things, right?
15:00
Isn't that the problem?
15:02
Isn't that the problem that WFP has?
15:05
They're not talking about it.
15:07
Nobody's talking about it.
15:09
Nobody knows it's, you know what I mean?
15:12
Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.
15:15
So like,
15:15
what the hell you want me to do?
15:18
it's the only thing that's happening right
15:19
now.
15:21
So I, I try, I've really,
15:22
really been trying not to like answer back
15:24
to the trolls.
15:25
Good.
15:27
But I,
15:28
I gave in yesterday and I'm like, well,
15:31
if you don't want me to talk about
15:32
it, it's a bold strategy.
15:34
Um,
15:35
if you want it to succeed and you
15:36
don't want me to talk about it, uh,
15:38
that's a business plan.
15:39
It's really going to be successful.
15:42
Again,
15:43
I will use the same analogy the other
15:44
day.
15:45
It was like having a two year old
15:47
that I,
15:49
and you give them the cookie and they
15:50
throw it on the ground.
15:53
Not like that.
15:54
Not like that.
15:55
I mean, come on, dude.
15:57
Exactly.
15:57
At this point,
15:58
even bad publicity will help them more
15:59
than no publicity.
16:01
When you're reaching out to media to
16:03
remind them that they can apply for media
16:06
credentials, which I've never, ever, ever,
16:09
ever, never seen in the CrossFit space.
16:13
Usually it's a short window and you either
16:16
get in or you don't.
16:17
And that's end of story.
16:19
For them to be begging for media to
16:22
come.
16:23
Because that's what that is.
16:24
If you have to remind somebody to apply
16:27
for your media credentials,
16:29
it's because they don't care enough to
16:32
apply for your media credentials.
16:35
Or for somebody like you,
16:36
it's in Copenhagen.
16:37
Scott,
16:38
you flying to Copenhagen Christmas week?
16:40
No.
16:41
Yeah, I didn't think so.
16:44
Barbell's been posted this,
16:46
which I've heard as well.
16:51
And I've heard there's
16:53
It's not one more, it's a few more.
16:59
Um,
17:01
and so I've heard a lot of rumors
17:04
that that's happening.
17:06
And then Shanna says losing so many
17:09
athletes, this final hopper out too.
17:12
I have not seen that.
17:16
Did you,
17:17
did you see that officially somewhere,
17:20
Shanna, or are you just.
17:24
Let me look up Hopper Instagram because
17:29
apparently news likes to break as we're on
17:31
the air.
17:32
I mean, it'd be like that.
17:38
Spin just posted it.
17:42
Man,
17:42
I think Spin waits till we're on the
17:44
air.
17:50
I don't have Hopper.
17:51
That's the thing about him.
17:53
It's home.
17:55
I see the Emma tall.
17:55
Yeah.
18:00
Emma tall.
18:01
We were guessing Emma tall.
18:03
She fractured her AC joint.
18:05
I don't see that being a,
18:07
a comeback with much success in a,
18:10
in a month.
18:14
Yep.
18:14
Jason Hopper to skip WFP finals.
18:19
Where do you have, is it story?
18:21
Is it on the website?
18:23
It's on his website.
18:24
Gotcha.
18:28
In speaking with Hopper,
18:29
he told the Barbells fan he will share
18:31
more about his decision soon.
18:35
There it is.
18:36
Hopper's withdrawal was likely not a shock
18:39
to those who watched this week's Boys
18:40
Interrupted podcast.
18:41
In that episode,
18:41
Madero said Hopper spoke about training
18:44
and their plans in the coming weeks.
18:45
Hopper shared,
18:45
I honestly don't know what I'm going to
18:47
do.
18:47
I want to take two weeks off after
18:49
Rogue,
18:49
let the body get back and heal up
18:51
a little bit and work on the shed
18:52
a little bit.
18:56
Yep.
18:57
So there it is.
18:58
Jason Hopper to skip WFP finals.
19:01
There it is.
19:02
Corey just read it to head over to
19:04
the barbell spin again.
19:06
Like we said yesterday, uh,
19:09
sign up for his alerts.
19:11
Uh,
19:11
cause there's going to be a lot of
19:12
news coming soon.
19:13
I'm sure.
19:14
That's where I got that.
19:15
That's where mine was at.
19:16
Was in my, uh,
19:17
like I get it like a message on
19:19
Instagram, like a DM or whatever.
19:21
There was usually,
19:22
I usually get that before he actually,
19:24
it actually gets posted on his page.
19:28
So that's a lot of traveling and
19:31
competing.
19:34
Craig,
19:34
I have not seen anything on Jeff or
19:35
Ricky officially yet.
19:40
I think you had a pretty good point
19:42
about Jeff the other day.
19:47
And what he says right there.
19:49
Oh, sorry.
19:50
David, what was the question?
19:54
Is this the equivalent to load management?
19:56
So for people who don't watch the NBA,
19:58
there's this thing where they believe that
20:00
the athletes cannot sustain a full season,
20:04
so they don't play their players every
20:06
game.
20:07
If there's a back-to-back game,
20:09
they may pull them for one of them
20:11
so they don't have to do back-to-back
20:12
games.
20:12
It's called load management.
20:14
And I think that is a very good
20:16
analogy as to what's happening now.
20:21
Now go ahead.
20:23
Oh,
20:23
what Leo's saying about everybody's
20:24
knackered and they just don't want to
20:26
travel anymore and want to have Christmas
20:27
with their families.
20:28
Can you blame them?
20:29
Like, this year has been a lot.
20:34
I mean,
20:35
you saw people at the WFP events that
20:38
did not look like themselves,
20:40
that looked like they were just kind of
20:41
walking through it,
20:42
kind of going through the motions and
20:43
whatnot, and then the games,
20:46
and then Rogue,
20:47
and now this is fast approaching, dude.
20:50
Like,
20:53
six weeks out, five weeks out,
20:54
something like that.
20:55
Same week as Christmas.
20:56
It's the week after I'm going to be
20:59
in Arizona.
21:02
It's close.
21:05
Then right after that,
21:08
you got to start ramping up for the
21:09
Open and quarterfinals and semifinals.
21:14
The whole thing's going to start again.
21:17
These events are going to keep coming back
21:19
up.
21:21
No surprises after his posts,
21:23
not training after Rogue.
21:24
When I found out that there is no
21:26
part of their contract that is paid out
21:28
based on the finals,
21:30
it's just whatever you win for your
21:31
contract for the next year.
21:33
Correct.
21:34
Nobody's losing any guaranteed money that
21:36
they had going into the season now.
21:40
Right?
21:41
Whether they go or not go.
21:42
Now, next year,
21:43
it probably means some money loss.
21:47
But Hopper just won the games.
21:48
That's, what,
21:49
two hundred and forty thousand dollars?
21:52
I think he's going to be okay.
21:56
Well, just what Justin said the other day.
21:59
He got back and had to take a
22:02
couple days off and texted his coach to
22:06
send him some programming.
22:07
He told him no.
22:11
He said, no, you just go ahead and
22:15
He wants him to work out,
22:16
but I'm not sending you any programming
22:17
right now.
22:18
Go do a class workout.
22:19
Go make something up on your own.
22:21
Just kind of get some motion, movement in,
22:23
but I'm not sending you programming right
22:25
now because he needs rest.
22:27
They all do.
22:30
Sean,
22:30
I don't think there will be a next
22:31
year.
22:34
I think there will be a next year
22:36
because they have all this money.
22:38
And again,
22:40
if you're the parent of a child and
22:42
you want them to succeed,
22:45
you're going to go extra lengths to help
22:48
them in that venture.
22:50
Now,
22:50
I think the only way they do succeed
22:53
is to make it a developmental league for
22:57
those who don't get invites to Rogue,
23:00
don't get invites to Watapalooza SoCal,
23:03
don't make it to the games.
23:05
But that tier right below,
23:07
or the lower-level games athletes that are
23:09
trying to get sponsors and endorsements
23:12
and to make the league,
23:14
I think that is it.
23:15
And then your cost per athlete probably
23:17
goes down.
23:18
Oh, yeah.
23:20
right?
23:21
And then it becomes more sustainable.
23:31
But rich people don't like losing money
23:32
either.
23:34
Again, as a parent, I am telling you,
23:37
I don't like my bank account at zero,
23:40
but do you know how many times it's
23:41
gotten to zero because of my daughter and
23:43
me wanting to help her out and to
23:45
make sure that she's okay?
23:49
Also,
23:50
when the amount of money that we're
23:52
talking about for that kind of stuff,
23:55
I'd be willing to put a lot on
23:57
it that it's a tax write-off.
23:58
It's not that they don't care.
24:04
I'm sure they do,
24:05
but they look at it and go, well,
24:06
it's a loss.
24:06
It was an investment.
24:08
I took a loss on an investment.
24:09
I can write that off on my taxes.
24:14
I agree.
24:15
I think it is a big tax write-off.
24:18
I think that they, in my opinion,
24:20
with what was said on that podcast by
24:23
the European event organizer,
24:27
that the blank check for travel probably
24:30
needs to be reined in.
24:31
You think?
24:35
Maybe rein in some of that stuff and
24:37
then be something that you can sustain.
24:42
Which is like talking about it yesterday,
24:44
dude.
24:46
I can go anywhere I want.
24:48
as i'm wearing the wfp shirt sign me
24:51
up right now and your wife is okay
24:54
with it and my wife is okay with
24:56
it guess what she can come with me
24:58
she loves to go places so so i
25:02
i think if they can if they can
25:04
reign that in a little bit build something
25:08
find out a way that it fits in
25:10
the season better
25:12
they could have something that's that is
25:14
sustainable, but it's going to,
25:15
it's going to have to mean getting rid
25:18
of some of the delusions that they have,
25:19
that they're going to be better than the
25:20
CrossFit games.
25:22
It's going to have to be that they're,
25:24
you're not going to be the most elite
25:25
option out there.
25:27
And you're going to have to come to
25:29
terms with those real realistic thoughts.
25:38
I don't know if they have that in
25:39
them.
25:42
Okay,
25:42
that's what I was trying to articulate is
25:47
that takes a lot of self-awareness,
25:50
a lot of humility, which I'm not seeing,
25:54
right?
25:56
The other step they would have to take,
25:58
right?
25:59
Like they have Project One that's supposed
26:01
to be like their version of High Rocks.
26:03
They have their affiliate program that's
26:05
supposed to be like the CrossFit affiliate
26:06
program.
26:07
They have this big tour stop league thing,
26:12
right?
26:13
When was the last time you went to
26:15
a restaurant with eight items on the menu
26:19
and a restaurant with fifty items on the
26:21
menu and the restaurant with fifty items
26:23
was better than the one with eight?
26:27
You're going to.
26:31
So my argument before you.
26:33
Yeah.
26:36
That's a good point.
26:37
I mean, it's a phone book.
26:40
My wife won't go or hates going because
26:43
there's too many options.
26:45
My argument is the WFP is the cheesecake
26:47
factory of fitness.
26:53
I like it.
26:55
I like it.
26:56
The restaurants my wife and I like is
26:58
when it has like eight items and they
27:00
do them to the best of their ability.
27:02
Right.
27:03
Right.
27:05
Yeah.
27:06
Give me one page.
27:07
This is... Love it.
27:08
I love it.
27:13
Hyde Park needs one item.
27:15
There you go.
27:19
Cheesecake Factory of Fitness.
27:20
That's good right there.
27:22
Isn't that what it is, though?
27:25
They're throwing so many things on the
27:26
menu,
27:28
but they ain't good at any of them.
27:29
Well, they're all...
27:34
not well thought out and it's not well
27:37
executed.
27:39
Right.
27:41
And argue with what you want.
27:46
The more that CrossFit is refining
27:48
themselves into just the game season,
27:52
the better it's coming off.
27:54
Right.
27:55
Right.
27:57
Let Rogue be Rogue.
27:59
Let Wadapalooza do their thing.
28:01
Let the semifinals do their thing.
28:04
We're going to focus on this,
28:06
and this is becoming our main menu item.
28:13
What you get is going va-va-va-va-va.
28:15
Well, it...
28:19
Look at if you if you start a
28:21
CrossFit class.
28:23
OK,
28:23
I just had a discussion with one of
28:24
our members last week.
28:26
Mechanics, consistency, intensity,
28:29
mechanics.
28:30
Let's do the basic bare minimum stuff and
28:34
let's do it well.
28:36
That's the first thing we're going to work
28:39
on.
28:39
Then we can work on consistency.
28:40
OK, let's do it well all the time.
28:43
Make sure you're coming in all the time
28:45
so you can do it well all the
28:46
time.
28:46
Then we can add the intensities.
28:48
They skip straight to intensity.
28:51
Let's go hard.
28:52
Let's do all the things.
28:54
Let's do a chipper that has forty seven
28:56
different moving parts in every piece of
28:58
equipment in the gym.
29:00
How well is that going to come off?
29:02
Not very.
29:04
I think that's an excellent way to put
29:06
it.
29:06
They didn't let themselves get good at any
29:08
one thing before they jumped to the next
29:10
menu item.
29:12
No.
29:12
Oh, you want that?
29:13
I can do that.
29:13
Oh, you want that?
29:14
I can do that.
29:14
Oh, you want that?
29:15
I can do that.
29:18
Yeah.
29:20
Ken Walters.
29:21
I was just going to say Cheesecake
29:22
Factory.
29:23
They drop a fifteen pound leather bound
29:24
book on your table.
29:28
Yeah.
29:30
I don't know that I've ever actually been
29:31
in a Cheesecake Factory, but I know BJ's.
29:35
BJ does the same thing.
29:41
Matty Sturt and Paige Demenza out of WFP.
29:43
Also,
29:43
I wonder if the majority of athletes who
29:45
competed at Rogue are withdrawing.
29:50
You guys,
29:50
you got to cite your source so we
29:53
can pull this stuff up.
29:58
Rogue broke them.
29:59
Dude.
30:02
But Rogue is Rogue, right?
30:04
And it pays really, really well.
30:07
And it takes care of the athletes.
30:10
You were there for it.
30:11
You know you're going to get beat down.
30:14
But you're there for the experience and
30:16
they make it worthwhile and it's a great
30:18
production.
30:20
You know what you're getting into before
30:21
you go.
30:22
Nobody has any illusions about going to
30:24
Rogue and then coming back and feeling
30:26
like a million bucks.
30:28
If you do,
30:29
I think the only person who might have
30:30
even had that inclination in their head is
30:33
Colton Mertens because nothing seems to
30:36
faze that dude.
30:37
I think Colton could get hit by a
30:40
bus and the next day he'd be like...
30:43
Well, I got hit by a bus yesterday.
30:45
I'm going back to training.
30:46
I ought to be all right.
30:47
Like he's going to walk it off type
30:48
deal.
30:52
He's just going to withdraw from WFP.
31:04
It turns out he went ahead and withdrew
31:07
from their own event in a shocking turn
31:09
of events.
31:15
But anyway,
31:17
if I am looking at my season, especially,
31:22
like, in the second part of it,
31:23
if I am an elite, you know,
31:25
if I'm Jason Hopper or, you know,
31:28
any one of those guys,
31:30
I'm looking at this and I'm going, okay,
31:31
I got the games and I got a
31:33
short break and there's Rogue and then,
31:36
oh, yeah, there's that WFP thing, like,
31:39
A month after or two months after,
31:41
a month and a half or whatever it
31:42
is after Rogue.
31:44
And it's a quick turnaround.
31:46
Rogue is usually,
31:48
so do I really want to go all
31:51
the way to Copenhagen?
31:52
No.
31:53
I'm going to do Rogue and see what
31:54
I feel like.
31:56
And I guarantee you, like,
31:57
Medeiros is probably not the only one who,
31:59
like, went to their coach and was like,
32:00
hey, what can I do?
32:01
And he was like, nothing.
32:02
Go back to bed.
32:08
You need rest.
32:09
You just got back from row.
32:10
You just did forty back squats at three
32:12
fifteen for one.
32:14
That wasn't just in one event.
32:18
But you don't need to do anything.
32:20
You need to rest.
32:21
You need to get your central nervous
32:23
system recovery.
32:23
You need to let your muscles and
32:25
everything else kind of recover a little
32:26
bit before you can start easing back into
32:28
training.
32:32
I agree.
32:38
Not finding the other withdrawals.
32:44
I've got a morning chalk up on Instagram,
32:46
morning chalk up on their website.
32:54
Oh, there it is.
32:56
Hidden.
32:58
Buried.
33:03
One,
33:03
it pains me to go to the morning
33:05
chalk up, just so you know.
33:08
What wrong one?
33:09
Dang it.
33:10
Get the newsletter.
33:11
No, what?
33:12
No, thanks.
33:14
Your newsletter a long time ago.
33:19
I hate going to the morning chalk up,
33:20
but here we are.
33:21
So they say this is their headline.
33:25
Norgy bleaker and Vivian Marie Christian
33:28
accept invites to WFP.
33:31
And then in small font.
33:33
Small font.
33:35
Recent withdrawals from Maddie Sturt and
33:37
Paige Semenza leave room for backfills.
33:39
That's not the same story.
33:40
It's just not.
33:43
You think Norgie Bleeker and Vivian Marie
33:46
Christian are going to move the needle?
33:49
I have no idea.
33:50
That's your headline?
33:52
I want to say I've heard Norgie's name,
33:56
but I have absolutely no idea who Vivian
33:58
Marie Christian is.
34:00
Right,
34:00
but Matty Sturt and Paige Semenza are the
34:03
bigger names.
34:04
Yeah, by far.
34:06
That's what I'm saying.
34:07
Whoever wrote that wrote it backwards.
34:14
Everybody knows who Matty Sturt is.
34:16
Everybody knows who Paige Semenza is if
34:17
you've been in here for any amount of
34:20
time.
34:22
So, yeah.
34:22
Hey, these two people.
34:27
Like, that's insane, dude.
34:30
Okay.
34:31
Someone said it's, uh,
34:33
spin has that up now on his alerts.
34:37
Oh, here it is.
34:37
It's up on the website, man.
34:39
Everybody's withdrawing during the show.
34:44
I'll see spin.
34:45
Has it paid some ends of Maddie?
34:47
Start won't compete at WFP finals site
34:49
injuries.
34:50
Imagine it where it made sense.
34:55
Wow.
34:58
Travis,
34:58
I wore this hat just because I figured
35:00
you might show up today.
35:07
Okay.
35:08
So during the show,
35:09
we've had three withdrawals from WFP.
35:13
And it's probably not over.
35:14
And we've been on the air for thirty
35:15
minutes.
35:18
And it's probably not over yet.
35:22
right like i don't think that's what you
35:24
say that it's probably not doing now now
35:27
the dam has broke and everybody can say
35:30
okay now it's okay to announce and i
35:32
won't be like lumped into something for
35:34
doing it or right tristan this is my
35:40
surprised face it's an avalanche of
35:44
withdrawals yeah the
35:50
I did say I think there's going to
35:51
be a year or two for them,
35:53
but it's going to be tough.
35:55
They've got to do some serious soul
35:56
searching.
35:56
Well, while we're on the air,
35:59
I'm going to go ahead and announce my
36:00
withdrawal from WFP for the final as well.
36:04
I might be able to make it.
36:06
Well,
36:07
it's not call to withdraw if they call
36:08
you and ask you to come.
36:10
That's just declining your invite as a
36:12
backfill from all the withdrawals.
36:15
You know,
36:16
I thought they'd have to get the backfill
36:17
to me.
36:19
Well, I think they're close.
36:23
I know Rogue is very business minded and
36:25
probably don't care about WFP drama,
36:27
but maybe in a conspiracy world programmed
36:29
extra difficult comp this year.
36:31
And now WFP final is taking care of
36:33
itself.
36:35
If you want to do the controversy or
36:37
the conspiracy, Chetanufi,
36:41
Rogue got blamed for a GHD mishap by
36:46
the organizers of WFP when, in fact,
36:51
it was misuse of the product that caused
36:54
the accident.
36:56
Now their way to get back is to
36:58
make the athletes hurt so bad that they
37:01
can't do the finals.
37:05
If we're going down the conspiracy track.
37:06
If you're going down the conspiracy track,
37:09
let's make it real juicy.
37:12
Like, hey, I'm accused of smear campaigns.
37:15
This is how you do the smear campaign.
37:18
Rogue pissed off because blamed for
37:20
equipment mishap at tour stop two wrecks
37:24
athletes so they can't compete in the
37:25
finals.
37:26
Dude, can you imagine?
37:27
That's like, okay, I bought a C-Tube bike,
37:30
and I brought it to the gym,
37:31
and I put it together,
37:33
and I was in the middle of pedaling,
37:34
and the pedals fell off.
37:36
Surely, that's DT's bike.
37:41
Joseph Ramirez has just withdrawn from the
37:43
WFP.
37:45
I think Tristan said, too.
37:46
He's probably withdrawing from it.
37:49
Kenneth the lap.
37:50
It's a cornucopia of withdrawals since
37:53
we're in the Thanksgiving season.
37:55
Let's go with the cornucopia of very nice.
37:58
Very nice.
38:00
It's a corner.
38:00
It's a full cornucopia of withdrawals.
38:06
That is fantastic.
38:07
Yeah.
38:07
Tristan said he's out on the flip side.
38:10
Esther serve has a good point.
38:12
It's also an avalanche of injuries,
38:14
which is not a good look when talking
38:15
about health all the time with CrossFit.
38:19
Correct.
38:20
The problem is we don't know how serious
38:22
the injuries are or if it's just I'm
38:26
exhausted and I can't do another comp this
38:28
year.
38:28
It's like injuries.
38:31
I got a thing in my hip flexor
38:35
that's been bothering me and it might go
38:37
away, it might not,
38:38
but I'm not taking a chance of flying
38:39
halfway across the world to go see if
38:42
it's going to get any worse.
38:44
And then the open is in a couple
38:45
of weeks after that.
38:47
And we know that sometimes when you just
38:49
don't want to do something,
38:50
it's real easy to say my shoulder hurts.
38:55
I would love to be able to go
38:58
this thing.
38:59
I yeah.
39:02
So I was talking about to make it,
39:05
Oh, are you injured?
39:06
Yeah.
39:06
I'm one hundred percent.
39:12
Uh, Tristan,
39:13
you cannot compete that frequently in this
39:16
sport.
39:18
Would you say it's a plethora of windows?
39:25
It is a plethora.
39:26
It is.
39:31
Competition does not equal health,
39:33
unfortunately.
39:35
Right.
39:36
Corey and I can go play football in
39:38
the backyard for hours and not get hurt.
39:41
People in the NFL play football in the
39:43
backyard for hours and you're going to
39:45
have three people carted off the field.
39:54
Absolutely.
39:54
Uh, CrossFit,
39:55
we need to look at bodybuilding pros.
39:56
Don't do every show.
39:57
They pick one or three, one through three.
40:00
That's not, it's not healthy.
40:05
Um,
40:07
All the coaches knew this wasn't going to
40:09
go well.
40:14
Because Tristan's not an idiot.
40:16
You hurt or you injured all of our
40:19
old sports coaches.
40:20
Exactly.
40:22
And I think there are a lot of
40:24
people hurt and not injured.
40:27
And they just do not want to do
40:29
it.
40:30
Absolutely.
40:33
Burnout, dude.
40:34
Looking at it going.
40:36
What's the flight?
40:37
Don't argue with me.
40:38
They might be approaching injury at this
40:40
point.
40:41
Could be.
40:43
What's the flight time from the East
40:45
Coast?
40:46
Not even from, like,
40:46
where the West Coast people are coming.
40:49
From the East Coast.
40:50
I disagree.
40:51
Corey and you are limping the next day.
40:54
I limp after I do my six-mile runs
40:56
on Tuesday mornings.
40:57
Perfectly fine.
40:58
That's how I normally walk.
41:01
I mean, I'm fifty-five now.
41:03
I'm perfectly okay.
41:05
That's my normal gate.
41:11
Would you say it's a plethora?
41:13
I need to go watch that movie now.
41:15
Announce two swim events.
41:16
I'm out.
41:20
Anyway,
41:20
what's the travel time to where they got
41:23
to go to Denmark and then Copenhagen?
41:24
Or can they fly into Copenhagen?
41:26
I have no idea what that looks like.
41:28
So Copenhagen is in Denmark.
41:32
Well, wherever they fly into.
41:34
So the swim event is in Sweden.
41:36
That's what I was thinking of.
41:38
Right.
41:38
But in Europe,
41:39
the countries are small enough that that's
41:42
like going from Columbus to Cincinnati,
41:44
right?
41:46
There's so many good memes or little viral
41:50
videos, what do you want to call them,
41:51
of Europeans that came to America and
41:54
like...
41:56
complain about European people who
41:57
complain about us not going anywhere.
42:00
And you're like,
42:00
I can tell you why they haven't been
42:01
anywhere.
42:02
Have you been to America?
42:03
It's fucking huge.
42:06
Like me driving my daughter to Montana
42:08
took me thirty five hours.
42:10
Yeah.
42:12
I had friends that are competing in
42:13
nationals this weekend for tactical games
42:16
from here.
42:17
They're competing in Texas and it was an
42:19
eight hour drive.
42:20
Eleven to fifteen hours, dude.
42:25
cross fat it's like oakland to san
42:27
francisco just across the bay just across
42:29
the day not that not that far so
42:33
all right looking at that going holy i
42:36
got basically two full travel days just
42:40
trying to just getting there getting
42:42
settled in getting all this other stuff
42:44
it's christmas time i'm not going to see
42:46
my family for christmas
42:49
Or if I do,
42:50
by the time I get back,
42:50
I'm going to be so exhausted from all
42:52
this other bullshit.
42:54
And then I still need time to rest
42:56
and recover because, oh yeah,
42:57
the actual CrossFit season starts next
43:00
three weeks after that,
43:01
four weeks after that, whatever it is.
43:02
We got to start getting back into training
43:05
shape for the Open and everything else.
43:07
Dude.
43:11
Yeah.
43:12
And I might not make any more.
43:13
I'm probably not going to get any money
43:13
off of it.
43:14
Right.
43:19
That's what's crazy.
43:20
The fact that the Finals have zero money.
43:23
There's no way, dude.
43:26
That's a poorly written contract.
43:28
There's no way.
43:29
But maybe I might get a cool leather
43:30
jacket.
43:33
With all these withdrawals,
43:34
those people don't have a shot.
43:36
At being top-twenty at the end of the
43:38
year.
43:39
So most of them are not getting a
43:40
pro card.
43:41
If they're not getting a pro card,
43:42
they're not doing qualifiers next year.
43:44
I can't see Jason Hopper wanting to say,
43:47
I'm going to do this qualifier to be
43:48
a challenger at WFP.
43:50
I won the game.
43:53
Right.
43:56
Oh, yeah.
43:57
I won the games.
43:58
What should I do next?
44:00
Oh,
44:00
I think I'm going to try to qualify
44:02
for a pro card for the WFP.
44:05
Do you understand how ludicrous that
44:07
sounds?
44:09
Call it a European tour and be done
44:11
with it.
44:14
Golf does that.
44:15
They have the Asian tour.
44:16
They have the European tour.
44:20
Yeah.
44:20
Go do that.
44:22
Knock yourself out.
44:25
There it is.
44:27
there we are we're down the rabbit hole
44:28
of wfp and i'll get all the nasty
44:30
comments again thanks cory it's your fault
44:33
i'll take it i'll take that lick sorry
44:36
but there were like eighty seven
44:38
withdrawals in the time we were on the
44:40
air bro i mean we found out about
44:44
jason the two girls and somebody else
44:47
right
44:48
Well, to Hopper.
44:50
Hopper, yeah, you said Hopper.
44:52
I just put up the things that said
44:54
from spin, Alex isn't the last.
44:56
And then it all came.
44:59
So just look at it this week.
45:01
That's three females and one more male.
45:05
And you can expect more.
45:08
Correct.
45:10
And there already were some.
45:12
So we're at like six or seven.
45:21
weren't they getting rid of the challenger
45:22
division next year, by the way, they were,
45:24
what they're going to do is expand the
45:26
pro division and you,
45:27
but the people not in the top twenty
45:29
still had to do the qualifier to go
45:32
compete.
45:33
And I think they're expanding the pro
45:34
division from thirty to forty and getting
45:37
rid of the challenger.
45:39
And then,
45:39
but you still have to do the qualifier
45:41
to get to the top forty.
45:43
But we're talking now like at
45:47
You know games athletes are not doing a
45:49
qualifier to go to the WFP.
45:53
No.
45:54
No.
45:56
Just isn't going to happen.
45:58
Let me tell you what qualifier they're
46:00
doing.
46:00
It's called the Open.
46:02
It starts in February.
46:04
And then there's quarterfinals and then
46:05
there's semifinals and then there's the
46:06
games.
46:08
That's about the extent of the qualifiers
46:09
that they're going to do.
46:10
Maybe the lower tier guys,
46:12
like the bubble athletes,
46:13
will do qualifiers to get to certain
46:15
events like TFX or whatever else.
46:18
Sure, they will absolutely do those.
46:19
I know several of those guys,
46:21
and they work their asses off to be
46:22
able to do those qualifiers,
46:24
to go represent, get the experience,
46:26
to be able to try to knock themselves
46:27
up a lead.
46:29
But again,
46:30
if you think Jason Hopper is going to
46:32
do a qualifier event
46:35
To try to get a pro card for
46:37
the WFP.
46:37
You're insane.
46:47
Uh, more, it'll just change up the rules.
46:49
Uh, sadly, this,
46:52
this schism schism schism between North
46:56
American Europe athletes will likely grow
46:58
because of this.
47:05
yeah i i don't know explain anything yeah
47:11
the other two i mean the other two
47:12
events were here were they not one of
47:14
them in columbus one of them in uh
47:17
one in indiana one in arizona yeah and
47:20
one in arizona i'll see it being a
47:23
big that big a deal really and truly
47:27
You're probably, I can see, I mean,
47:28
that's why they're inviting,
47:30
I assume that's why they inviting more
47:32
European athletes at this point,
47:34
because they're right there.
47:36
Well,
47:36
I think they're just going down the list
47:37
of people with points, um,
47:41
that are accepting, um, because I'm,
47:45
you know,
47:45
I'm betting people that are on the list
47:48
are turning it down as well.
47:50
So that would be a fantastic piece of
47:53
information.
47:55
Yeah.
47:55
We don't know who's saying no,
47:57
because I mean,
47:58
I know there's some names that have points
48:00
that I'm not seeing as an option to
48:01
fill the, to backfill.
48:03
And I'm betting some of them are saying
48:05
no,
48:06
we'd have to go to the board and
48:07
look at and see.
48:09
That sounds like a Holly people.
48:11
That sounds like a Holly Duggan.
48:14
Yeah.
48:14
I'll put Holly on that and see.
48:18
Cause we worked hard to put together that
48:20
leaderboard.
48:20
So we have it.
48:22
Um,
48:24
They aren't going thirty one, thirty two,
48:26
thirty three.
48:27
I think that's the intent.
48:28
And that's kind of what they're doing.
48:30
But I think people are turning it down.
48:33
Right.
48:33
They are going.
48:34
They probably are going thirty one,
48:35
thirty two, thirty three.
48:36
But they get to thirty one and thirty
48:38
one is like, no, thank you.
48:39
So I know like Emily Lugman was like
48:41
thirty one and she got the first backfill.
48:46
But I don't know,
48:47
like the names that are popping up now,
48:50
I have no idea where they're ranked.
48:55
When?
48:56
Who?
48:57
No thanks.
48:57
I'm trying to quit.
48:59
Appreciate it.
49:01
Vivian Marie Christian.
49:02
I don't even remember seeing her at the
49:05
events.
49:05
I have no idea who that is.
49:10
I've never heard that name before.
49:12
After the show, or Holly always listens.
49:16
Holly, when you listen to this,
49:17
if it's a way to see if there
49:19
are people skipping out,
49:22
it's going to be interesting.
49:23
Please.
49:25
Just show us,
49:26
like highlight the names that must have
49:29
turned it down.
49:30
The only Vivian I know is Aunt Vivian
49:33
from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
49:36
Okay.
49:40
Or Vivian.
49:41
She's probably not going.
49:43
Although,
49:44
if they forward note down the list,
49:45
she might be on it.
49:46
Yeah.
49:52
Wow.
49:52
Wow.
49:54
Well,
49:54
I had some stuff I was going to
49:56
talk about.
49:59
Just to finish on a better note,
50:01
I'm super excited, man.
50:03
Sunday is the premiere of season two of
50:05
Landman.
50:07
I've been waiting and waiting.
50:08
That is one of my favorite shows ever.
50:11
Billy Bob Thornton is so freaking good in
50:13
that show.
50:16
And now we have Sam Elliott joining the
50:18
cast.
50:18
Demi Moore is getting a bigger role this
50:20
year.
50:24
So jazzed.
50:25
I am so pumped for layman coming back.
50:29
Tulsa Kings coming to an end and it's
50:31
been really good this year.
50:32
Maybe it's best season ever.
50:36
So that's been good.
50:37
And I just got into season three of
50:39
the diplomat.
50:41
with Keri Russell on Netflix.
50:44
We've watched that the whole way through
50:47
and just started season three the other
50:49
night and it started with a bang.
50:53
That's like political like drama.
50:56
So Keri Russell is she was like kind
51:01
of a military expert in the Middle East
51:03
and they want to groom her to be
51:05
vice president.
51:06
So they make her the ambassador to England
51:09
and
51:10
and to learn like the pomp and
51:13
circumstance of what it is to be an
51:14
ambassador and all hell breaks loose while
51:17
she starts this job.
51:19
And so it's a lot of her military
51:21
expert comes into play.
51:22
It's about putting the chess pieces
51:24
together, uh, for other thing.
51:26
And then, um, yeah.
51:31
And then like people die and people have
51:33
got to take places and they got to
51:35
scramble into.
51:37
And so it turns into like much more
51:38
of an action than they like.
51:41
West wing was a dialogue show with like
51:44
interacting between the cast.
51:46
This is more of an action show that
51:47
takes place in the political realm.
51:53
so i've seen the ads for it i
51:56
just haven't we haven't seen it because
51:59
it's like super short like six episodes
52:03
like you can blast through it pretty fast
52:06
yeah they're only they just started season
52:08
three since about seven year old decide
52:13
that she doesn't want to watch what we're
52:15
watching but i don't want to just get
52:16
i hate just giving her an ipad tone
52:19
to go away
52:20
Because I want to watch it.
52:21
So we end up watching a lot of...
52:23
Dude, when my kid was small,
52:25
I didn't see an R-rated movie for like
52:27
ten years.
52:30
I mean,
52:31
I go to bed at eight thirty,
52:32
which I usually put James in the bed
52:34
at eight.
52:34
So like it's not like...
52:37
We go watch something for like ten,
52:39
fifteen minutes and then Jennifer's
52:40
falling asleep and I'm falling asleep.
52:42
So...
52:44
Yeah,
52:44
the other thing I tried to watch over
52:46
a couple nights ago was Play Dirty with
52:48
Mark Wahlberg on Amazon Prime.
52:51
That looks good, dude.
52:52
Terrible.
52:54
Really?
52:55
Now, granted, that's my opinion.
52:57
You may like it.
52:58
I thought it was terrible.
53:01
Felt like a total waste of two and
53:02
a half hours.
53:04
Damn.
53:06
Yeah, just... So, cross back.
53:11
She has some Top Gun.
53:14
First Blood might be a bit much.
53:17
First Blood, well, I mean,
53:19
the only person that actually gets killed
53:21
in First Blood is the dude he accidentally
53:23
kills from the helicopter.
53:25
The rest of it is intense.
53:29
Yeah.
53:30
Now, the second one,
53:34
that's a different story.
53:34
And they got increasingly more as they
53:39
went.
53:40
Yeah, the later Rambos were, I mean...
53:43
Yeah,
53:43
the first Rambo is more kind of a
53:44
dialogue movie than an action movie,
53:47
I would say.
53:49
Even though Stallone only talks like eight
53:51
lines in the whole thing,
53:53
it's everybody else around him.
54:00
Watching the A-Team TV show with our kids,
54:02
it's so fun.
54:04
Dude,
54:04
that was like one of my favorite shows
54:05
as a kid.
54:06
Dude, I lived for the A-Team.
54:09
Yeah.
54:09
I even liked the movie with Liam Neeson
54:12
and Brad Leper.
54:19
The dude that they got to play, B.A.
54:21
Baragas.
54:21
Rampage.
54:23
Rampage Jackson.
54:23
Thank you.
54:25
I thought he did,
54:26
like he was awesome as Mr. T.
54:30
Because I don't know what else to call
54:31
him as B.A.
54:31
Baragas, but it's Mr. T.
54:36
A-Team and Knight Rider.
54:38
Michael Knight, baby.
54:40
I love the day after tomorrow.
54:43
Yeah, CrossFit Rampage Jackson.
54:47
The movie's great.
54:48
I mean, every time it's on,
54:49
I just watch it.
54:50
So, yeah.
54:57
The other thing I was going to say
54:58
real quick is I started watching the Being
55:00
Eddie documentary on Netflix last night.
55:03
Cause Eddie Murphy is like, Oh yeah, dude.
55:06
That Beverly Hills cop was the first like
55:10
big movie that I saw.
55:12
And I fell in love with Eddie from
55:14
that point forward,
55:15
saw Beverly Hills cop a couple of times
55:16
at the theater.
55:17
And then like everything else,
55:19
just love and adore that man.
55:21
Did you know that before barely Hills cop,
55:24
the highest grossing film starring a black
55:28
man, woman was million dollars.
55:31
And it was a Richard Pryor movie.
55:34
beverly hills cop earned two hundred
55:37
twenty million domestically and over three
55:39
hundred million worldwide for five hundred
55:42
million dollars it completely changed the
55:45
landscape it's a it's an amazing film it
55:49
is hilarious like i mean they still got
55:54
the whole problem with nobody runs out of
55:55
ammunition but that's a standard eighties
55:57
movie thing yeah but
56:00
It's a buddy cop movie that's not a
56:02
buddy cop movie because they don't work
56:04
together, but they are working together.
56:06
It's a fantastic... It just works.
56:09
I love Beverly Hills Cop and Beverly Hills
56:12
Cop II for that matter.
56:15
Yeah, Beverly Hills Cop III lost it.
56:18
You know what?
56:19
I think I remember reading that they
56:23
didn't give Eddie the creative control
56:25
that he wanted and that's why it went
56:28
to shit.
56:30
it wasn't good.
56:31
Yeah.
56:32
So yeah, it's, it's a good documentary.
56:36
It kind of points out that like Eddie
56:38
Whitney Houston,
56:39
Prince and Michael Jackson all hit at the
56:41
same time.
56:42
And it kind of changed the face of
56:44
culture and music and art artistry at the
56:47
time.
56:49
And then he backs it up with coming
56:50
to America,
56:51
which may be the funniest movie I've ever
56:54
seen in my life.
56:57
I get, that's another one.
56:58
I don't know if we were talking about
56:59
this.
57:01
last week before last, whatever it was,
57:03
or maybe I wasn't talking about it with
57:04
you, but anyways, saw a list of,
57:07
if you had to recite a movie word
57:10
for word,
57:11
that's one of the ones that would be
57:12
up there for me.
57:13
Like Eddie Murph, Coming to America, even,
57:18
oh, not Hollywood Nights, Harlem Nights.
57:24
Oh yeah.
57:25
Dude.
57:27
Him, Red Fox, Richard Pryor,
57:30
that movie is outstanding.
57:32
It's hilarious.
57:34
When he shoots old girl in the pinky
57:36
toe.
57:39
No, Delores.
57:42
Eddie Murphy Raw is amazing.
57:45
I always have this debate with everybody.
57:47
Delirious to me was way, way funnier.
57:51
Delores was the first one, wasn't it?
57:52
It was.
57:53
Raw was off the chain.
57:55
It was...
57:57
It was places like comedy hadn't gone,
58:00
but delirious.
58:02
That's the first comedy I'd ever seen with
58:04
him.
58:05
It is the best.
58:06
It, the ice cream, the.
58:13
What the fuck is.
58:18
So good.
58:19
Yes.
58:21
No, no.
58:22
Mike DeVito wrong.
58:23
Other way around.
58:24
Yeah.
58:24
You got that backwards.
58:25
Yeah.
58:27
You couldn't have Raw without Delirious.
58:29
It had to happen first.
58:31
Pull up Kevin's.
58:33
Did you see that?
58:34
The John Candy doc?
58:36
I did not.
58:37
Dude.
58:37
I've lost Kevin's.
58:41
There's way so many.
58:42
Oh, here we go.
58:43
John Candy doc was good.
58:44
I want to see it.
58:45
I just slipped off my radar for a
58:47
minute.
58:49
Be red.
58:52
Like, get your tissues handy.
58:54
Like...
58:55
You don't realize it's been thirty
58:56
something years since John candy died.
58:59
Right.
59:00
But dude, it is really, really good.
59:03
It's,
59:04
it's really well put together and you
59:05
learn all kinds of stuff about him.
59:06
I didn't, I damn sure didn't know,
59:09
but I,
59:10
it had me emotional at several different
59:12
points in it.
59:13
Cause like he was such a good dude
59:15
and he was trying so hard to not
59:18
have his life turned out like it turned
59:19
out.
59:21
Um,
59:22
Cause like his dad died about the same
59:24
time, almost at the same age he did.
59:26
And he was trying so hard to avoid
59:28
that.
59:28
It ended up happening anyway.
59:30
It was sad.
59:30
It was really well done, but it was,
59:32
it was pretty sad.
59:34
Yeah.
59:35
I love, I mean,
59:38
I love playing strange automobiles.
59:39
We watch it every Thanksgiving.
59:42
I love The Great Outdoors.
59:44
I could watch that over and over again.
59:47
When he's yelling, you bastard,
59:48
from the skis,
59:50
and Dan Aykroyd thinks he's saying,
59:51
go faster.
59:51
Go faster.
59:52
One of the best.
59:57
Yeah.
1:00:00
His part in Home Alone with the polka
1:00:06
band, almost all of that was improvised.
1:00:12
he flew in, like the accident being in,
1:00:16
he flew in, they had like,
1:00:19
twenty-four hours or thirty-six hours that
1:00:21
he had free time to do it in,
1:00:22
and like, almost all the stuff between,
1:00:25
especially between him and Catherine
1:00:28
O'Hara, was like, just off the cuff.
1:00:31
Just them, just making shit up,
1:00:33
riffing stuff, whatnot.
1:00:35
Pocah, pocah, pocah.
1:00:37
No?
1:00:39
Yeah, pretty big deal.
1:00:39
Sold like, three hundred fifty copies.
1:00:43
but that's a lamp yeah but it's loaded
1:00:48
the old ninety sixer i'm finished nope
1:00:51
there's still gristle on the plate there's
1:00:53
still gristle on the plate oh damn
1:01:02
Those movies were the best.
1:01:03
I remember when my daughter got to an
1:01:05
eight and we went through all of those.
1:01:06
Planes, Trains and Automobiles,
1:01:07
The Great Outdoors.
1:01:09
All that stuff.
1:01:11
And she loves them to this day because
1:01:13
that was like our family time.
1:01:15
Gosh, I could...
1:01:18
Now I want to go watch The Great
1:01:19
Outdoors again.
1:01:21
We just watched Uncle Buck maybe like a
1:01:23
month ago.
1:01:24
Uncle Buck's so good, dude.
1:01:26
It is so good.
1:01:28
The Stare Down with...
1:01:31
With Coughlin in that?
1:01:32
Merritt McCauley?
1:01:34
McCauley.
1:01:34
Yeah,
1:01:35
and they're negotiating like back and
1:01:37
forth?
1:01:38
Yeah.
1:01:40
When he was asking all the questions.
1:01:44
Yeah.
1:01:44
Yeah, that was fantastic.
1:01:46
Yeah,
1:01:46
that's where I first saw John Candy with
1:01:48
stripes.
1:01:50
lean means if if stripes is on i'm
1:01:55
probably gonna like that's cool we're just
1:01:57
watching stripes the rest of the day that
1:01:59
ain't a big deal what's your record for
1:02:01
questions yes so good man i don't know
1:02:07
how we got from uh uh from eddie
1:02:12
murphy to john candy but man
1:02:17
There's a documentary where they, they,
1:02:19
I know John Candy wasn't a person on
1:02:21
Saturday night live,
1:02:22
but he talks about how the whole original
1:02:24
cast was gone when he was brought on
1:02:27
to SNL and everybody hated them.
1:02:30
Yeah.
1:02:30
Like because the original cast was gone
1:02:32
and it was really Eddie that lifted them
1:02:35
up out of that with Gumby and James
1:02:38
Brown and Buckwheat and all of the
1:02:42
neighborhood.
1:02:44
All of that kind of lifted them off
1:02:46
that first cast.
1:02:50
He carried that show.
1:02:51
Eddie did.
1:02:52
Like when he was on there.
1:02:55
Movies with Scott and Corey should be a
1:02:56
weekly show.
1:02:59
Well,
1:03:00
We're in the off season now.
1:03:02
It's probably going to be our weekly show.
1:03:05
Here's the fun part about that is that
1:03:06
Scott and I's taste in movies only link
1:03:08
up, I guess,
1:03:09
as far as the comedy is concerned,
1:03:10
because Scott's like a huge romantic
1:03:13
comedy guy, and I'm not.
1:03:16
And the let's shoot everybody and kill all
1:03:19
the aliens and all that stuff that I
1:03:21
love, Scott's like, no, thank you.
1:03:23
No, no, I'm good to shoot them up.
1:03:25
I just don't like horror.
1:03:27
No, I don't do horror.
1:03:28
I don't do horror.
1:03:30
I'm good with shooting them up.
1:03:31
Cobra is one of my favorite movies of
1:03:33
all time.
1:03:35
I'm good with all that.
1:03:36
I like Alien.
1:03:36
I like all that stuff.
1:03:43
I lied.
1:03:46
It's fantastic.
1:03:50
CrossFit Eddie gave Chris Rock a shot on
1:03:52
Beverly Hills Cop if you watch the if
1:03:54
you actually watch the documentary he
1:03:57
gives Chris Rock a shot at the stand-up
1:04:00
clubs like Eddie overrode the managers of
1:04:05
the clubs to give Chris Rock time it's
1:04:09
really it's a really cool story it's a
1:04:12
really cool story it's fantastic hey Sully
1:04:18
stick around
1:04:23
Predator better than Commando.
1:04:24
Agreed.
1:04:26
Oh, no, dude.
1:04:27
Yeah, Predator is a much...
1:04:28
Commando is a fun movie because of how
1:04:33
ridiculous it is,
1:04:34
but Predator is a good movie.
1:04:38
Yes,
1:04:38
I did know Billy Bob Thornton was into
1:04:39
it, so... I did not.
1:04:42
Now I'm going to have to re-watch that.
1:04:44
Thanks, Travis.
1:04:45
Billy Bob Thornton is the dude dealing
1:04:48
Pharaoh...
1:04:50
Whenever they first get into town and they
1:04:54
walk in and they feel like I'm playing
1:04:57
cards with my sister's kids.
1:04:59
That's Billy Bob Thornton.
1:05:01
And when he comes back out and freaking
1:05:03
Doc just beats,
1:05:04
like slaps him and tells him, oh,
1:05:07
I forgot you were here.
1:05:09
You may leave now.
1:05:10
That's Billy Bob Thornton.
1:05:11
Wow.
1:05:11
Wow.
1:05:21
I ain't got time to bleed.
1:05:23
Jesse the Body Ventura in acting.
1:05:26
Jesse was probably the best part of
1:05:27
Predator.
1:05:28
Oh, yeah.
1:05:28
Right until he got killed.
1:05:32
I was so into wrestling at the time,
1:05:34
too, so that was like... Wow.
1:05:42
There's just so many good stuff.
1:05:47
All right, guys.
1:05:49
Well, we are over an hour.
1:05:50
I'm past my lunch hour.
1:05:52
I definitely need to get off of here.
1:05:55
We'll be back next week.
1:05:57
Again, the next two Mondays,
1:05:59
I've got some tests.
1:06:01
So it's an iffy whether I'll be on
1:06:02
or not.
1:06:04
But we'll have Sunday night CrossFit talk.
1:06:06
Carolyn will have finished the service
1:06:08
cup.
1:06:09
So we'll hear from her on how all
1:06:11
that went.
1:06:13
If you have any show ideas for Sunday
1:06:15
night, shoot them at me.
1:06:16
Craig sent us an idea that actually kicked
1:06:18
off this week on the lunch show.
1:06:21
So we love when you guys participate in
1:06:23
everything.
1:06:25
So with that, like, subscribe.
1:06:27
And yeah,
1:06:30
if you want to become a member,
1:06:30
you can do that too.
1:06:31
But with that,
1:06:32
we'll see everybody next time on Lunch
1:06:35

1:06:37
There you go.
