• 2:06
  The coolers that were up
• 2:07
  front when you walked in,
• 2:08
  those are back by the bathrooms now.
• 2:11
  Okay.
• 2:12
  Cause that side,
• 2:12
  that whole wall is going to be turf,
• 2:14
  like from the wall to the window.
• 2:16
  So that neat, that space.
• 2:18
  Yeah.
• 2:19
  So yeah, it's exciting.
• 2:25
  Ninety sip hop coming in hard.
• 2:26
  Yeah.
• 2:28
  I just think of the proposal
• 2:30
  scene and Sandra Bullock in the forest.
• 2:33
  Same.
• 2:34
  Yeah.
• 2:37
  Yeah.
• 2:38
  Well, that's exciting news.
• 2:42
  Yeah.
• 2:44
  So, Carolyn,
• 2:47
  do you have anything going on this week?
• 2:49
  uh I went back home after
• 2:51
  school on friday I visited
• 2:53
  my family back in sarnia so
• 2:56
  got back this evening did a
• 2:59
  little bit of school work
• 3:00
  and yeah that's about it
• 3:03
  yeah this is kind of the
• 3:04
  calm before the storm for
• 3:05
  me my my family comes in
• 3:07
  next weekend that's we're
• 3:08
  celebrating the holidays
• 3:10
  the weekend before
• 3:10
  christmas and then like
• 3:12
  julie and I'll actually be
• 3:13
  alone just the two of us on christmas day
• 3:17
  Which is going to be weird for us.
• 3:20
  Sorry, I want like a song right now.
• 3:24
  So that's weird.
• 3:25
  So we watched a lot of like
• 3:28
  Christmas movies this weekend.
• 3:30
  And...
• 3:32
  But I watched,
• 3:33
  everybody had been wanting
• 3:33
  me to watch into, or sorry,
• 3:36
  across the Spider-Verse.
• 3:37
  So I watched into the Spider-Verse.
• 3:40
  It's an animated Spider-Man that is,
• 3:43
  the first one was phenomenal.
• 3:45
  And everybody was telling me,
• 3:45
  you gotta watch the second one.
• 3:47
  It's better than the first one.
• 3:49
  So I had a really slow day
• 3:51
  at work on Friday.
• 3:52
  So I just had it running
• 3:53
  while I was working.
• 3:55
  And it sucked me in really quick.
• 3:59
  And I was like, I was all there.
• 4:02
  But there is a third one.
• 4:04
  So it ends at this climactic
• 4:07
  moment where the hero is in
• 4:10
  trouble and they're not saved.
• 4:14
  And then it just ends.
• 4:15
  It says to be continued.
• 4:16
  And I was like, what the hell?
• 4:20
  How do you do this to me?
• 4:23
  I'm right there.
• 4:24
  And then it just stops.
• 4:26
  And I was like, no, no.
• 4:29
  And then I texted everybody
• 4:30
  that told me to watch it and said,
• 4:32
  you could have warned me.
• 4:34
  Another one coming.
• 4:35
  Yeah.
• 4:36
  Not to like, so yeah.
• 4:43
  Corey says across the spider
• 4:44
  verse is amazing.
• 4:47
  It was really amazing until the end.
• 4:50
  Craig says the family man is
• 4:52
  one of the best Christmas movies ever.
• 4:54
  I agree.
• 4:55
  I love that movie.
• 4:55
  It's one of my favorites.
• 4:56
  I don't know if I've seen that one.
• 4:58
  Oh my gosh, you're missing out.
• 4:59
  It made me fall in love with
• 5:00
  Taylor Leone when I was a younger man.
• 5:05
  I haven't watched any Christmas movies yet,
• 5:07
  but Lex says that when I
• 5:09
  get to California this weekend,
• 5:12
  this upcoming weekend,
• 5:12
  that we're going to get me
• 5:15
  to watch a few movies.
• 5:17
  So Julie and I have done all
• 5:19
  the new Netflix movies.
• 5:21
  And I think tomorrow,
• 5:22
  because I'm going to start
• 5:23
  doing like a daily show at
• 5:25
  noon where any of you can
• 5:27
  jump on if you want and just,
• 5:29
  we're just going to chat.
• 5:30
  It may not be CrossFit related.
• 5:32
  It's just a hangout at lunchtime.
• 5:35
  And so I'm going to rate the
• 5:39
  Netflix Christmas movies tomorrow.
• 5:41
  Okay.
• 5:43
  of what I thought was good
• 5:44
  what I thought was bad um
• 5:45
  and then we watched red one
• 5:47
  that's what I was saying
• 5:48
  last night that was it last
• 5:50
  night I think it was you
• 5:51
  and I were I think it was
• 5:52
  two nights ago because we
• 5:53
  were texting about it last
• 5:54
  night yeah yeah red one
• 5:55
  became available for free
• 5:57
  on prime and it is the rock
• 5:59
  version of a christmas
• 6:00
  movie with chris evans
• 6:01
  who's captain america um man
• 6:08
  It could have been so cool.
• 6:09
  Could have been so cool,
• 6:10
  but just... That seems to
• 6:12
  be the consensus.
• 6:12
  Yeah.
• 6:15
  It's like it dipped its toe
• 6:17
  into the water of being an
• 6:18
  eighties action movie.
• 6:19
  And if it would have just
• 6:20
  kept going that way,
• 6:21
  it would have been awesome.
• 6:22
  And it tried to have more of
• 6:26
  a dramatic story behind it, I think.
• 6:28
  And it made it fall a little bit short.
• 6:30
  But like when the snowmen...
• 6:34
  like army came after them
• 6:35
  and they were fighting them.
• 6:36
  It was one of the coolest
• 6:37
  scenes I've ever seen.
• 6:42
  But yeah, it was fun.
• 6:44
  It was a fun movie.
• 6:45
  Like I wouldn't say don't watch it,
• 6:46
  but it was one that I
• 6:48
  probably won't watch year after year.
• 6:49
  Okay.
• 6:49
  Fair enough.
• 6:52
  know you have those that
• 6:54
  like tier of christmas
• 6:55
  movies there's the ones
• 6:56
  like christmas vacation and
• 6:57
  elf and all those ones that
• 6:59
  you watch every year and
• 7:01
  then you have like ones
• 7:02
  that are like a one-timer
• 7:03
  and this this was a
• 7:04
  one-timer okay so but
• 7:09
  tomorrow I'll go through
• 7:09
  all the netflix ones and
• 7:11
  tell you what I liked and
• 7:12
  what I didn't like all
• 7:13
  right I'm kind of sappy so
• 7:15
  you know just know that going in so
• 7:20
  scott's got like hallmark
• 7:22
  channel movies number one
• 7:26
  mo I do I am so so this is
• 7:30
  this is getting really deep
• 7:31
  but my dad loved hallmark
• 7:32
  movies like when he retired
• 7:34
  and before he passed away
• 7:36
  like he just loved hallmark
• 7:37
  movies christmas or
• 7:39
  otherwise um and so when I
• 7:41
  would go to visit him we
• 7:42
  would watch hallmark movies and just chat
• 7:45
  And so they they've they've
• 7:47
  had now they have this like
• 7:48
  nostalgic thing for me that
• 7:50
  it just reminds me of my
• 7:51
  time with my dad.
• 7:53
  I don't watch a ton of the Hallmark ones,
• 7:56
  but my mom and I will watch
• 7:57
  them occasionally when I go visit her.
• 7:59
  And and I've watched a few
• 8:02
  of them this year,
• 8:02
  but not most of them have
• 8:04
  been like just the Netflix original ones.
• 8:06
  Yeah.
• 8:07
  Which I find to be a little
• 8:08
  higher production.
• 8:08
  Yeah, I agree.
• 8:10
  Than the Hallmark ones.
• 8:14
  so there you go there's my
• 8:15
  sappy story so I think
• 8:19
  that's it we're getting
• 8:21
  into like some new new
• 8:23
  sports seasons I you know
• 8:25
  all day today they've been
• 8:26
  advertising usc versus
• 8:28
  connecticut next week's
• 8:29
  prime time saturday night
• 8:32
  page buckets versus uh juju
• 8:35
  Did you see the three on three undisputed?
• 8:37
  I think it's called undisputed league.
• 8:39
  Like the girl's salary is
• 8:40
  going to be like two
• 8:41
  hundred and sixty thousand
• 8:43
  dollars a year or something like that,
• 8:45
  which is like huge,
• 8:47
  huge difference from their WNBA salaries.
• 8:51
  Yeah.
• 8:52
  So there's a male version of that, too.
• 8:54
  And I think it's I think
• 8:55
  it's owned by Ice Cube.
• 9:00
  Yeah,
• 9:00
  because that version was trying to
• 9:01
  get Caitlin Clark last year to play,
• 9:04
  but she wouldn't have
• 9:05
  gained anything from going.
• 9:07
  No, no.
• 9:09
  That's a lot of money to me.
• 9:12
  I don't know about them.
• 9:15
  But yeah, that's got to be tempting.
• 9:18
  But the other thing is you
• 9:19
  don't want to like, well, maybe.
• 9:23
  Like you played a different
• 9:24
  sport every season,
• 9:25
  but to play the same sport
• 9:27
  season after season,
• 9:28
  and repeating that muscle
• 9:30
  activity over and over again,
• 9:32
  your body has to rest from that, right?
• 9:34
  Yep.
• 9:36
  Which is why I think she's
• 9:37
  not playing at Caitlin
• 9:38
  Clark because she went from
• 9:39
  university all the way into
• 9:40
  her rookie season and
• 9:42
  probably just needs to have a break.
• 9:46
  Yeah.
• 9:47
  It's tough enough with the
• 9:48
  college season butting
• 9:49
  right up against the WNBA season.
• 9:52
  So you go from...
• 9:54
  the college playoffs right
• 9:55
  into pro basketball with no break,
• 9:58
  you know,
• 9:59
  and it showed like when Caitlin
• 10:01
  took the all-star break off,
• 10:03
  she actually got a little
• 10:04
  bit of rest and she started
• 10:05
  to play better after.
• 10:07
  Um, so yeah, but yeah,
• 10:12
  it's going to be fun.
• 10:13
  We're going to get into some
• 10:14
  new stuff because
• 10:15
  football's coming to an end.
• 10:17
  All the bowl games are coming.
• 10:19
  Yeah.
• 10:20
  And the play at the first
• 10:21
  year of the twelve team playoff.
• 10:23
  And then Travis Hunter won Heisman.
• 10:26
  He did.
• 10:28
  I think that's awesome.
• 10:29
  If you can go two ways that
• 10:31
  long and that much in a game,
• 10:33
  you deserve some kudos for that.
• 10:35
  And to play at the level he plays at.
• 10:37
  Yeah.
• 10:39
  I mean,
• 10:39
  I've seen draft experts say he's
• 10:41
  top five at both positions.
• 10:47
  Wow.
• 10:48
  But he'll only play one in the NFL.
• 10:50
  Yeah.
• 10:51
  They'll just pick which one
• 10:53
  they want him at.
• 10:57
  So, all right, well,
• 10:59
  let's dive into this CrossFit stuff.
• 11:01
  And we're going to start with Guadalupe,
• 11:04
  which has started to
• 11:05
  announce people attending
• 11:09
  Guadalupe this year,
• 11:11
  both individually and on a team.
• 11:16
  And please note, this is as of today,
• 11:19
  in my years of experience
• 11:20
  of watching Waterpalooza,
• 11:21
  they make these announcements.
• 11:22
  Something happens between now and then.
• 11:25
  Some people will have to withdraw.
• 11:27
  But this is what they have
• 11:28
  for commitments at this point.
• 11:31
  So,
• 11:32
  or what they have announced as
• 11:33
  commitments.
• 11:35
  And these are not, let me, there we go.
• 11:39
  Okay, so, yeah.
• 11:44
  load this up a little bit
• 11:45
  there we go so you can see
• 11:47
  we have pat velner as the
• 11:49
  first announcement um danny
• 11:51
  spiegel and james sprague
• 11:55
  we have ariel lowen all
• 11:56

• 12:25
  and patrick velner uh
• 12:28
  guillermo laura horvat her
• 12:32
  first time I think doing
• 12:33
  wadapalooza hmm uh she did
• 12:36
  it as a team a couple a
• 12:38
  couple years ago when I was
• 12:39
  there but like individual
• 12:41
  though I don't think I've
• 12:42
  ever seen her do individual
• 12:45
  uh nick matthew
• 12:48
  The Relight Salt Bays,
• 12:51
  which is Emily Rolfe, Alex Kazan,
• 12:53
  and Ariel Loewen.
• 12:54
  Nice.
• 12:56
  Annika Greer, Travis Mayer.
• 12:59
  The OGs, Victoria Campos, Caitlin Van Zyl,
• 13:04
  and Sarah Sigmund's daughter.
• 13:09
  Brooke Wells going individual as well.
• 13:11
  Jeff Adler going individual as well.
• 13:15
  the yeti outcasts danielle
• 13:18
  brandon emma lawson shelby
• 13:19
  neal I do have to admit
• 13:21
  this one caught me off
• 13:22
  guard a bit same this is
• 13:26
  this was not the threesome
• 13:27
  I saw coming together no
• 13:29
  didn't have that on my
• 13:30
  bingo card um and that's
• 13:33
  what they've announced at
• 13:34
  this point uh in the season
• 13:38
  but cement even though that
• 13:39
  one shocked me it's a hell
• 13:41
  of a team oh yeah yeah
• 13:44
  That's going to be a good team.
• 13:47
  They,
• 13:48
  they all have like different strengths,
• 13:51
  I think.
• 13:52
  And I think that that's
• 13:53
  going to be interesting.
• 13:56
  So anything from that list
• 13:59
  stick out to you other than
• 14:02
  that last team kind of
• 14:03
  catching you off guard.
• 14:09
  I think also nice to see
• 14:10
  Jeff at water blues individually.
• 14:12
  I don't think I've seen him much and,
• 14:15
  So it's nice him, Ricky, Pat,
• 14:17
  James on the men's side.
• 14:20
  I think I've been announced key.
• 14:22
  Like there's some solid names.
• 14:24
  There are some good competition.
• 14:26
  Yeah.
• 14:26
  I've again,
• 14:28
  I've seen Jeff there a ton on a team.
• 14:30
  Um, never seen him individually, uh,
• 14:33
  in the years that I was there personally.
• 14:36
  Um, and since, uh, so that's Laura,
• 14:40
  I think is huge.
• 14:42
  Laura competing individually.
• 14:44
  will bring others to want to
• 14:45
  compete against her.
• 14:48
  I think.
• 14:50
  Yeah.
• 14:50
  I'm very curious to see the
• 14:51
  individual field.
• 14:54
  I thought,
• 14:54
  I kind of thought there was
• 14:55
  another didn't Nick Johnson
• 14:59
  reveal another team on his interview.
• 15:03
  He did.
• 15:04
  I didn't get through that one yet.
• 15:06
  I feel like, I don't know.
• 15:08
  I can't remember who was
• 15:09
  like a Ricky team.
• 15:11
  I don't remember if it was a
• 15:12
  boys or a girls team.
• 15:15
  Or if he said both.
• 15:18
  Colton's going, isn't he?
• 15:22
  I know he's not on that list, but maybe.
• 15:27
  Maybe Colton said he wasn't going,
• 15:29
  that he's done enough
• 15:30
  traveling and too many
• 15:31
  camps and he was going to.
• 15:34
  Yeah, I do.
• 15:36
  Kenna said it was a random girl team.
• 15:37
  I think so too.
• 15:38
  And I just can't think of it.
• 15:40
  Now that Beck said this, Olivia, Danny,
• 15:43
  and another.
• 15:44
  And I forgot the third.
• 15:45
  They'll win the lifting
• 15:47
  complex or whatever that would be.
• 15:49
  And the third is in that same vein.
• 15:51
  Yeah.
• 15:52
  Like a Kelsey Keel or something?
• 15:54
  Someone super strong?
• 15:55
  I don't know.
• 15:56
  I'm just guessing.
• 15:58
  Shoot.
• 15:59
  I know.
• 16:01
  I know I heard it like the
• 16:03
  three like just strong
• 16:05
  girls I should have written
• 16:06
  it down when he was on yeah
• 16:09
  olivia and it was a good
• 16:12
  interview though worth a
• 16:13
  watch most of my watching
• 16:15
  interviews and stuff like
• 16:16
  that is either while I'm
• 16:17
  working and it's hard to
• 16:18
  stop what I'm doing to like
• 16:19
  write that's what it's kyra
• 16:20
  yep also very very strong
• 16:24
  yeah good job craig thank
• 16:27
  you so much for that yeah
• 16:30
  I mean, it's Danny Spiegel, right?
• 16:34
  Yeah.
• 16:34
  Yeah.
• 16:35
  So Kyra's proven.
• 16:36
  Olivia is proven, but Danny's not.
• 16:40
  But there's adding.
• 16:43
  Yeah.
• 16:46
  So yeah,
• 16:48
  most of my listening to that stuff
• 16:49
  is either at work or in bed.
• 16:51
  So it's hard for me to stop
• 16:52
  and take notes.
• 16:55
  David Price- Sometimes I do
• 16:56
  if I've already started our
• 16:57
  rundown document,
• 16:58
  I will pull my phone up and
• 17:00
  add a piece to if I hear it
• 17:03
  like something we're gonna
• 17:04
  talk about with bethany
• 17:05
  flores later in the show
• 17:06
  like I did that last night.
• 17:08
  David Price- So that I saw so.
• 17:11
  But yeah, Waterpalooza.
• 17:13
  And this is the first year in Miami Beach.
• 17:15
  So the bigger the names,
• 17:16
  the better with the new
• 17:17
  location and the bigger venue.
• 17:20
  So hopefully that will
• 17:23
  entice people to come and
• 17:25
  pay for tickets and sell that place out.
• 17:27
  Because I know it's got to
• 17:28
  be scary moving locations
• 17:31
  because Bayfront was a pretty sweet spot.
• 17:34
  It just it had outgrown that so much.
• 17:39
  Yeah.
• 17:39
  I hope this runs a little
• 17:40
  smoother and goes well for
• 17:43
  vendors and hopefully the
• 17:46
  weather cooperates.
• 17:48
  Yeah.
• 17:48
  That's the big one is the weather.
• 17:51
  They have a couple of stage
• 17:52
  that are just covered.
• 17:53
  Like they have to have that consideration.
• 17:59
  Yeah.
• 18:00
  Or a vendor vendor area that is covered.
• 18:03
  Yes.
• 18:04
  Some place to go to that is covered.
• 18:07
  Yeah,
• 18:07
  which would help the vendors because
• 18:09
  then if there isn't great weather,
• 18:10
  at least everyone's in Vendor Village.
• 18:14
  I think it's sometimes...
• 18:17
  Even we in the media,
• 18:18
  but especially our competition organizers,
• 18:22
  forget that the vendors are
• 18:23
  a very important part.
• 18:24
  Without them,
• 18:25
  you don't have the money to
• 18:28
  make a prize purse or to do
• 18:29
  a live stream or to do...
• 18:31
  And you have to make the vendors happy.
• 18:34
  And it seems like...
• 18:36
  lot of the competitions not
• 18:40
  not all but a group of the
• 18:41
  competitions are just
• 18:42
  increasing vendor fees to
• 18:44
  try to get more money
• 18:46
  instead of working with the
• 18:47
  vendors to make them happy
• 18:49
  and make a better vendor
• 18:50
  village totally agree and
• 18:55
  we've talked about this
• 18:56
  with athletes like instead
• 18:57
  of trying to get more
• 18:58
  athletes and more
• 18:59
  spectators to watch those
• 19:00
  athletes we're just
• 19:02
  charging the athletes more yep
• 19:04
  And that doesn't grow the sport.
• 19:06
  It's just sucking on the
• 19:09
  same cow teat for milk.
• 19:12
  Yep.
• 19:12
  Over and over and over again,
• 19:13
  just squeezing harder.
• 19:17
  I don't know where that analogy came from.
• 19:19
  Cause I am not a farmer, but it's there.
• 19:28
  Um,
• 19:28
  But yeah,
• 19:30
  all the best to them and the move
• 19:33
  to Miami Beach because I
• 19:34
  think that's going to be crazy.
• 19:39
  I guess next up we have the big news.
• 19:43
  The big news is the World Fitness Project.
• 19:46
  has announced uh a layout of
• 19:48
  a season um still need
• 19:52
  quite a few details but I
• 19:54
  will pull up their
• 19:55
  instagram post we'll go
• 19:57
  through it I want to get
• 19:59
  your impressions on it if
• 20:00
  whether you think it's good
• 20:01
  bad or indifferent um uh and here we go
• 20:12
  okay so I'm going to try to
• 20:16
  blow this up a little bit
• 20:17
  so we can kind of see it
• 20:18
  hopefully it all stays in
• 20:20
  screen all right so the
• 20:24
  wwfp is excited to launch a
• 20:25
  new competitive fitness
• 20:26
  league in twenty twenty
• 20:28
  five with over five hundred
• 20:29
  athletes at each
• 20:30
  competition our structure
• 20:31
  brings athletes of
• 20:32
  different skill levels
• 20:34
  together to compete alongside one another
• 20:38
  So at first glance, when I'm reading this,
• 20:40
  I'm thinking that their
• 20:42
  in-person events are going
• 20:43
  to be more community events
• 20:45
  than just an elite event.
• 20:49
  Yeah.
• 20:49
  Is that what you get from this?
• 20:51
  I mean,
• 20:51
  it has to be like when you're
• 20:53
  talking five hundred athletes like.
• 20:57
  That's that's basically what it was at.
• 21:02
  the Masters games with the teams.
• 21:06
  I mean, that's a ton of divisions,
• 21:08
  a ton of
• 21:10
  Yeah.
• 21:10
  I don't know what they're,
• 21:11
  what they need to generate revenue.
• 21:13
  Like they have to invite
• 21:15
  lots of divisions.
• 21:15
  They need that money.
• 21:16
  Like it's,
• 21:17
  you can't just start the first
• 21:19
  year and just think that
• 21:20
  just the pros will make it happen.
• 21:22
  Like fan base.
• 21:23
  And cause as soon as those
• 21:25
  athletes are competing,
• 21:26
  then they're sitting in the audience.
• 21:28
  Like it just,
• 21:30
  it adds more people to the competition.
• 21:34
  Yeah.
• 21:35
  I mean, I heard speculation that this was,
• 21:39
  I feel like it was Tyler
• 21:40
  who thought they'd be
• 21:40
  backing off of other comps
• 21:43
  already in production.
• 21:45
  But I feel like if you're
• 21:47
  going to say this,
• 21:49
  you have a plan for your own competition.
• 21:54
  Or they're partnering with a competition.
• 21:59
  So like we haven't seen
• 22:00
  Granite Games in a couple of years.
• 22:02
  Yeah.
• 22:03
  why why couldn't um loud
• 22:06
  live partner with this
• 22:08
  group and say hey we're
• 22:09
  bringing back granite games
• 22:11
  and we're bringing back
• 22:12
  madrid a european
• 22:17
  competition and an american
• 22:18
  competition and they and
• 22:21
  both of those events have
• 22:22
  already been community
• 22:23
  events yeah I don't know if
• 22:27
  they had five hundred people there
• 22:29
  Well,
• 22:30
  the last Granite Games that was a
• 22:31
  semifinal,
• 22:32
  there was definitely more than
• 22:33
  five hundred people overall.
• 22:35
  Yeah,
• 22:35
  they've always had like almost
• 22:37
  thousands that there's.
• 22:40
  Granite Game was always one
• 22:41
  of the more successful competitions.
• 22:47
  I mean, I remember there being a lot,
• 22:49
  but I don't know over.
• 22:51
  I don't know.
• 22:52
  Compared to Legends and the Masters games.
• 22:58
  I don't know that I've seen
• 22:59
  fields that big.
• 23:04
  I,
• 23:04
  I know that the numbers they were
• 23:06
  throwing around were over
• 23:07
  five hundred for the last semifinal.
• 23:11
  So, but, but they also,
• 23:14
  Loud Live also runs Waterpalooza.
• 23:17
  Like they know how to run community events,
• 23:19
  right?
• 23:21
  So they could definitely pull that off.
• 23:22
  They have the infrastructure
• 23:23
  already in place to do that.
• 23:26
  And they have relationships
• 23:27
  in Minnesota and in Madrid.
• 23:30
  And that's just a guess on my part.
• 23:31
  We have no details of where
• 23:33
  these are going to be or
• 23:34
  what they're going to look like.
• 23:38
  So professionals,
• 23:39
  the pro division is
• 23:40
  comprised of twenty signed
• 23:41
  male and female athletes
• 23:43
  and ten challenger qualifiers.
• 23:45
  Pro athletes will compete
• 23:46
  for points throughout the
• 23:47
  season to lock down a top
• 23:49
  twenty ranking and earn
• 23:50
  their pro card for the
• 23:51
  twenty twenty six season.
• 23:55
  So one question I thought to
• 23:57
  you guys the other day is.
• 24:00
  How do you pick the twenty
• 24:01
  male and twenty female
• 24:03
  athletes that get the automatic signing?
• 24:07
  Exactly.
• 24:10
  Now, from that point forward,
• 24:11
  it's not going to make any
• 24:12
  difference because you're
• 24:13
  going to have to compete for it.
• 24:14
  Right.
• 24:15
  And you're going to have to earn points.
• 24:18
  And then you're going to
• 24:19
  have these ten challengers
• 24:20
  that every live competition
• 24:22
  can do the qualifier.
• 24:24
  If they get in as the top ten,
• 24:26
  they come in and they
• 24:26
  compete with the other twenty.
• 24:28
  So there's thirty in the
• 24:29
  field and then they can
• 24:30
  earn more points than the
• 24:31
  twenty and become a pro
• 24:33
  carded athlete instead of
• 24:36
  the twenty that were already signed.
• 24:41
  Yeah, that's a good question.
• 24:42
  I mean, in my mind,
• 24:46
  I feel like this needs to be,
• 24:49
  if you're going to sign on with them,
• 24:51
  if you chose to be this
• 24:53
  year's backbone of this pro athlete,
• 24:57
  I feel like it needs to be a,
• 24:59
  this is my personal opinion.
• 25:00
  I've obviously nothing to this,
• 25:02
  but I think you need to be
• 25:03
  a sole WFPE athlete.
• 25:08
  That's it.
• 25:09
  They've already said it's not going to be.
• 25:11
  I don't think you have to be
• 25:11
  a soul surfer.
• 25:14
  I mean,
• 25:16
  if someone's throwing a bunch of
• 25:17
  money at this and they're
• 25:18
  trying to back this,
• 25:19
  then those athletes that do this...
• 25:27
  I think it would be dumb of
• 25:28
  them to compete at the same
• 25:30
  time as the regular season,
• 25:32
  like put their major events
• 25:34
  in conflict with the
• 25:37
  CrossFit Games season.
• 25:38
  I think the more athletes
• 25:40
  can do competitions,
• 25:41
  whether it's the Games and this,
• 25:45
  it's better for their own personal brand,
• 25:47
  their experience, stuff like that.
• 25:51
  I don't think people need to
• 25:52
  be forced to just do this.
• 25:54
  When we get further into this,
• 25:56
  I'll have my idea.
• 25:58
  There is a point where I do
• 25:59
  agree with Jamie and
• 26:01
  there's a point right now
• 26:02
  that I agree with Carolyn.
• 26:06
  It's too early to do it.
• 26:09
  That's my point.
• 26:11
  You wouldn't be able to.
• 26:13
  You don't know enough about it.
• 26:14
  People wouldn't jump ship right away.
• 26:17
  I don't know.
• 26:17
  I think there might be
• 26:19
  They might already have
• 26:20
  their twenty athletes and
• 26:21
  they might be people who
• 26:22
  are already not willing to do the open.
• 26:24
  I mean, I'm sure that and that's fine,
• 26:27
  too.
• 26:27
  They've been that they have been asked,
• 26:29
  is this exclusive or not?
• 26:31
  And they were told it's not.
• 26:32
  And that's why people are signing.
• 26:34
  OK.
• 26:38
  So because nobody there's no
• 26:41
  prize money announced on
• 26:42
  any of this stuff, right?
• 26:44
  We don't know what the contracts are.
• 26:45
  I've also heard the contracts work where.
• 26:48
  If you win prize money,
• 26:50
  so the contract is just your floor.
• 26:53
  That is the least amount of
• 26:54
  money you can make in the season.
• 26:56
  But your winnings offset
• 26:58
  that contract amount.
• 27:02
  So it's basically like
• 27:03
  they're signing you to a
• 27:04
  guarantee of ten thousand
• 27:06
  dollars for the season.
• 27:09
  But if you win thirty thousand dollars,
• 27:10
  that ten goes away and you
• 27:11
  just take the thirty.
• 27:13
  Hmm.
• 27:18
  So it's more of like, instead of, hey,
• 27:21
  we're paying you this amount of money,
• 27:23
  and then whatever happens happens, it's,
• 27:25
  hey,
• 27:25
  this is the least amount you can get
• 27:27
  paid for the season.
• 27:32
  If that makes sense.
• 27:32
  Yeah.
• 27:33
  That's a rumor.
• 27:34
  That is not on any official document.
• 27:39
  I mean,
• 27:39
  it's got to pay for travel and
• 27:44
  entry to these comps.
• 27:47
  Yeah.
• 27:48
  What's a guarantee that
• 27:49
  you're not going to lose money, right?
• 27:50
  If you know that this is
• 27:52
  what I have in my budget to
• 27:53
  get to these events,
• 27:55
  then you're in a better
• 27:56
  shape than you've been in
• 27:57
  the past of where you're
• 28:00
  just forking over your own
• 28:01
  money and hoping that you
• 28:02
  win something to offset that.
• 28:12
  So then the challengers are
• 28:13
  athletes striving to earn a
• 28:14
  pro card for the twenty six
• 28:15
  season by competing in tour events.
• 28:17
  Challengers can earn points
• 28:18
  via the pro or challenger
• 28:20
  field to secure a spot in
• 28:22
  the finals and contend for
• 28:23
  a top twenty ranking in a pro contract.
• 28:27
  So it sounds like the top
• 28:29
  ten from the qualifier go
• 28:30
  and they get to compete in
• 28:31
  the pro division.
• 28:33
  And they will compete against the pros.
• 28:35
  And my guess is earn even
• 28:37
  more points than they could
• 28:39
  because there's going to be
• 28:40
  a contender division right
• 28:41
  below that at this event as
• 28:43
  well where those people
• 28:45
  will compete for points.
• 28:47
  But it's going to be a lower
• 28:48
  denomination of points.
• 28:51
  But they can put it in their
• 28:52
  bank so when they go,
• 28:54
  if they do qualify for the next one,
• 28:55
  they have some to add on.
• 28:57
  yeah I mean I love the
• 29:03
  challenger aspect of it
• 29:04
  make it exciting
• 29:10
  competitors are broken into
• 29:11
  age group skill level and
• 29:12
  team categories to
• 29:14
  participate competitors
• 29:15
  sign up for the respected
• 29:16
  category to compete and
• 29:17
  earn their spot at the
• 29:18
  world fitness finals
• 29:22
  So there are masters or maybe even teams,
• 29:25
  we don't know.
• 29:26
  There are going to be teams
• 29:28
  with an M and then
• 29:30
  different skill levels
• 29:32
  throughout that you can compete at,
• 29:33
  just like Wadapalooza has a
• 29:37
  few different levels, right?
• 29:40
  Beginner, intermediate, when you go there.
• 29:45
  And then this is kind of the
• 29:46
  way the season works out.
• 29:48
  You have your first challenger event,
• 29:49
  which is your qualifier to get in.
• 29:52
  The top twenty that are paid
• 29:53
  athletes don't have to
• 29:54
  participate in this.
• 29:56
  Just everybody else.
• 29:57
  Then you find your top ten
• 29:59
  and everybody else can
• 30:00
  compete in the challenger piece.
• 30:03
  I'm assuming it's like
• 30:05
  eleven to thirty or eleven
• 30:07
  to forty or something like that.
• 30:09
  And then the first live
• 30:11
  event is World Fitness Tour One.
• 30:13
  Those ten from the qualifier
• 30:15
  will compete against those
• 30:16
  twenty paid athletes to
• 30:19
  earn points against them.
• 30:23
  And then it just repeats itself.
• 30:25
  And then they have the World
• 30:26
  Fitness Trials,
• 30:27
  which that part I have no
• 30:28
  idea what it is.
• 30:29
  There is no explanation
• 30:30
  really what that is.
• 30:32
  But it is a one month long
• 30:34
  three stage online event.
• 30:37
  And then you have the World
• 30:38
  Fitness Finals.
• 30:39
  And I'm assuming that that
• 30:40
  is the top X number of
• 30:42
  point getters from the
• 30:44
  other two events will then
• 30:46
  compete for the
• 30:47
  championship and to make
• 30:48
  the top twenty to get their
• 30:49
  pro card for the next season.
• 31:00
  Any any thoughts on any of this?
• 31:04
  Well, there's missing some details,
• 31:05
  obviously.
• 31:06
  Of course.
• 31:07
  We don't know where.
• 31:08
  We don't know how many are
• 31:09
  at each of these things.
• 31:12
  How the points accumulate.
• 31:14
  If you take part in the
• 31:15
  first part of the online challenger,
• 31:18
  and let's say you take part
• 31:20
  in the first tour,
• 31:22
  and you accumulate a lot of
• 31:23
  points because you finished, I don't know,
• 31:25
  top fifteen there.
• 31:27
  Let's say you skip out on
• 31:29
  the challenger too.
• 31:30
  Would you still have enough
• 31:31
  points that you can...
• 31:33
  Like, you know,
• 31:34
  let's say you got a top ten
• 31:35
  at the two or one from a
• 31:37
  challenger position.
• 31:39
  Is that enough points to
• 31:40
  automatically qualify you
• 31:42
  for the two or two as, like,
• 31:44
  a challenger if not every
• 31:45
  challenger repeats the online part?
• 31:48
  Like, I just don't know, like, that part.
• 31:49
  Or if, like,
• 31:51
  the athletes that signed up
• 31:53
  for the first part of the qualifier,
• 31:55
  if only those athletes can do...
• 31:58
  The entire season, the entire season,
• 32:00
  if you can go in and out at
• 32:02
  different points, because like,
• 32:03
  let's say someone's injured
• 32:04
  and they are in the top ten challenger.
• 32:06
  Well,
• 32:07
  the next person up will be in there
• 32:09
  for the second online portion.
• 32:11
  I don't know if that makes any sense,
• 32:12
  but like.
• 32:14
  So in my head, I have the golf structure,
• 32:17
  right?
• 32:18
  So when the U S open comes
• 32:19
  around the week before the U S open,
• 32:21
  there's a qualifier.
• 32:22
  And if you do not have your
• 32:23
  tour card to just sign up
• 32:26
  for the U S open,
• 32:27
  you can play in this qualifier.
• 32:29
  And if you're the top,
• 32:30
  whatever the slots they have available,
• 32:33
  you try to get one of those
• 32:34
  slots at the qualifier and
• 32:36
  you can get in golf works
• 32:38
  on a world ranking where
• 32:39
  you earn points throughout
• 32:40
  the PGA season.
• 32:42
  And then based on that
• 32:43
  ranking is the tour card
• 32:45
  for the next year.
• 32:48
  so in the pga now they have
• 32:51
  way more events than this
• 32:53
  and it is way more
• 32:54
  established than this you
• 32:56
  can tiger woods did not
• 32:58
  play in everything because
• 32:59
  the majors were worth more
• 33:00
  points than just going to
• 33:02
  like the akron open right
• 33:05
  and so he would pop in and
• 33:07
  out of events throughout
• 33:08
  the year but he would
• 33:09
  always hit the four majors
• 33:10
  to make sure he'd get
• 33:11
  enough points to like keep
• 33:13
  his world ranking and all of those things
• 33:17
  I don't think we have enough
• 33:18
  events to pop in and out yet.
• 33:19
  Yeah.
• 33:22
  But I think that that is the plan.
• 33:26
  The plan would be to
• 33:27
  probably expand this out a
• 33:28
  little bit over after a few years of,
• 33:31
  of like proof of concept.
• 33:33
  And then you'd be able to say, Hey,
• 33:35
  I'm going to do X, Y,
• 33:36
  and Z to earn my points.
• 33:38
  And I think I can earn
• 33:39
  enough in those spots to
• 33:41
  keep my tour card or, or whatever.
• 33:45
  Does that make sense?
• 33:48
  Yeah.
• 33:50
  I, I feel like,
• 33:51
  I wish it was a sliding
• 33:53
  scale the whole time.
• 33:54
  Like,
• 33:56
  so say whoever's twentieth signed
• 33:58
  athlete is, is just like meh.
• 34:04
  And whoever get is the first
• 34:06
  place challenger out of
• 34:08
  this challenger goes to
• 34:09
  World Fitness Tour one and
• 34:11
  takes fifth overall out of all thirty.
• 34:15
  I would almost rather see, like,
• 34:17
  the top-twenty out of that
• 34:20
  stay the top-twenty for the
• 34:21
  next continue on.
• 34:23
  Because, like,
• 34:23
  I feel like that's sort of
• 34:24
  what Karen asked.
• 34:25
  Like,
• 34:25
  what if you got first as a challenger?
• 34:30
  I think contractually that
• 34:31
  would be a mess.
• 34:34
  Because right now you can
• 34:35
  sign a one-year contract
• 34:36
  that this is your guarantee.
• 34:38
  This is what you get.
• 34:39
  If you switched every comp
• 34:42
  to what those twenty were
• 34:43
  and had to switch the contract,
• 34:44
  can you imagine the
• 34:45
  paperwork and the personnel
• 34:47
  just responsible for all of that?
• 34:50
  I think the top twenty stays
• 34:51
  the top twenty in terms of
• 34:53
  their pro card.
• 34:55
  They're automatically invited to tour one,
• 34:57
  tour two, tour and the finals.
• 34:59
  What I was saying is as a challenger...
• 35:02
  could you have enough points
• 35:05
  if you got a top five,
• 35:06
  let's say in two or one
• 35:09
  that you could skip two or two,
• 35:11
  come back and get a lot of
• 35:13
  points like on the online ones or keep,
• 35:16
  you know,
• 35:17
  still maintain enough that you
• 35:18
  could still qualify for the finals.
• 35:19
  Like, I guess like that part still, um,
• 35:24
  yeah,
• 35:24
  I feel like whether like you have to
• 35:26
  do all three stages of the
• 35:27
  online as a challenger, plus like,
• 35:30
  possibly two or one two or
• 35:32
  two because like if you're
• 35:33
  a challenger you're now
• 35:34
  doing one so three onlines
• 35:37
  and possibly three in
• 35:38
  person so like my question
• 35:40
  is as a challenger can you
• 35:44
  skip one if you accumulate
• 35:46
  certain amount of points I
• 35:48
  mean it's only ten spots I
• 35:49
  don't see how you I don't
• 35:50
  see how you could yeah you
• 35:51
  can't really well
• 35:54
  We'd have to know what the points are,
• 35:55
  right?
• 35:55
  Right now,
• 35:55
  we don't know what the points are.
• 35:57
  If you are a challenger and
• 35:59
  you go to World Fitness One
• 36:02
  and you win it and you get
• 36:04
  the max number of points
• 36:05
  for winning that event,
• 36:06
  you may be able to skip the
• 36:08
  next one and still have
• 36:10
  enough points in the bank
• 36:11
  to qualify for the finals.
• 36:15
  But we don't know any of
• 36:16
  that because we don't know
• 36:17
  what the point structure is.
• 36:18
  We don't know how to earn points.
• 36:20
  We don't know the gap
• 36:21
  between like winning and whatever,
• 36:24
  because it doesn't have to
• 36:25
  be like a typical hundred point scale.
• 36:28
  It could be that a win is
• 36:29
  five hundred points and the
• 36:31
  gaps are very are a little
• 36:32
  bit bigger from like podium to next to.
• 36:37
  We'd have to see what all
• 36:38
  that structure is.
• 36:39
  And then I think then it
• 36:41
  becomes a strategic thing.
• 36:42
  Can I get enough points
• 36:43
  where I don't have to
• 36:44
  compete in every event?
• 36:46
  Well, then I look at, like, the chart,
• 36:49
  and it says, you know, ten qualify,
• 36:52
  you know, to the tour.
• 36:53
  Ten qualify to the tour.
• 36:55
  Now this one is open to all.
• 36:57
  Okay.
• 37:00
  am I cutting it out with my internet?
• 37:03
  Yeah, a little bit.
• 37:05
  Yeah.
• 37:05
  Sorry.
• 37:05
  Um, the open to all like,
• 37:07
  can people that haven't
• 37:08
  done qualifier one and
• 37:10
  qualifier to enter that trials,
• 37:13
  which is kind of like, you know,
• 37:14
  your Olympic trials,
• 37:15
  last chance qualifier type thing.
• 37:17
  Cause it does say open to all.
• 37:18
  So like,
• 37:18
  I don't know if people can skip
• 37:21
  qualifier one and two and
• 37:22
  just enter the world fitness trials,
• 37:25
  qualify through that month
• 37:27
  and make it to the finals.
• 37:29
  I would say yes.
• 37:32
  But again,
• 37:32
  that one has the least amount of
• 37:34
  information.
• 37:36
  That trials thing,
• 37:38
  there's no information in
• 37:39
  any of this about that specific piece.
• 37:49
  Are the top ten challengers
• 37:52
  getting their way paid to these events?
• 37:54
  Especially if like, like,
• 37:56
  I feel like this needs to start locally.
• 37:58
  And I, I mean, that narrows it down,
• 38:01
  but like,
• 38:02
  if you're saying like Granite
• 38:05
  games might be one in
• 38:05
  Madrid might be one.
• 38:06
  I don't know how,
• 38:07
  who you're expecting out of
• 38:08
  those ten challengers to
• 38:10
  travel over to Madrid.
• 38:11
  I, that was just a guess on my part.
• 38:15
  I have no insight.
• 38:16
  You're not the first one to bring that up.
• 38:18
  And I just think that's
• 38:19
  crazy to like ask these people.
• 38:22
  People like just trying to
• 38:25
  make a name for themselves
• 38:26
  to travel overseas.
• 38:27
  And like, I mean,
• 38:28
  it is World Fitness Project.
• 38:30
  I feel like they might be
• 38:31
  trying to go internationally.
• 38:33
  I just think that's.
• 38:33
  I think what changes is
• 38:35
  you're not just trying to
• 38:35
  make a name for yourself.
• 38:37
  You're trying to become a
• 38:38
  legit pro athlete with a guaranteed self.
• 38:41
  Yeah.
• 38:43
  That's a, I mean,
• 38:45
  I guess once we know more points wise,
• 38:47
  maybe it can make,
• 38:48
  maybe you can be like
• 38:49
  certain of yourself enough
• 38:50
  to make it make sense to
• 38:52
  travel for the first one.
• 38:53
  But I don't know.
• 38:56
  I think that's a big outlay.
• 38:59
  Yeah,
• 38:59
  it's very expensive for the athletes
• 39:00
  that aren't sponsored, basically.
• 39:02
  Like,
• 39:03
  when I put myself in this position as
• 39:04
  a challenger, like,
• 39:05
  if I have to travel to, you know, X, Y,
• 39:09
  and Z internationally while
• 39:10
  having my full-time job, I mean,
• 39:13
  I guess that's why, like,
• 39:14
  I wouldn't get a pro card.
• 39:15
  Like, it's just, like,
• 39:17
  you got to be pro to go, like, full-time.
• 39:19
  But, like,
• 39:20
  it's not really salaries of
• 39:21
  full-time athletes.
• 39:22
  You know what I mean?
• 39:23
  I'm not quitting my job for ten grand.
• 39:27
  Maybe a young university
• 39:29
  girl that doesn't work, this is enticing.
• 39:32
  And I think – The minimum of
• 39:34
  a certain amount.
• 39:35
  Yeah, yeah.
• 39:37
  We don't know, but – Yeah,
• 39:39
  but here – so that's a negative,
• 39:43
  and I'll give you that.
• 39:44
  I would say a positive, though,
• 39:45
  is because of these online qualifiers –
• 39:49
  Say you don't want a pro card,
• 39:51
  but you still want to
• 39:52
  compete at the highest level.
• 39:54
  You can still go to this online qualifier,
• 39:57
  and you can go compete at
• 39:58
  World Fitness Tour One
• 39:59
  because it's near you,
• 40:00
  and it's not a big expense,
• 40:02
  and you can take your shot.
• 40:06
  Anybody in the world can
• 40:07
  sign up for this thing,
• 40:09
  and if you're one of the top ten,
• 40:11
  you get a crack at it.
• 40:16
  because I like in the golf tour,
• 40:18
  like there's former NFL
• 40:19
  players that try to get to
• 40:21
  play in the U S open.
• 40:22
  Like they'll go to one of
• 40:23
  these qualifiers and just
• 40:25
  try to take their shot to
• 40:26
  get one opportunity to play on the,
• 40:29
  on the big stage.
• 40:34
  No, I like, like, I like this idea,
• 40:36
  like the challenger idea, like,
• 40:38
  Like there's a tour stuff.
• 40:40
  There's just not enough
• 40:41
  details right now to know enough.
• 40:45
  Then it's like,
• 40:46
  who's reviewing the videos?
• 40:47
  Who's programming for these things?
• 40:51
  Is it a group of people?
• 40:53
  Will these workouts be known?
• 40:55
  Will they be unknown like
• 40:56
  our sport has been?
• 40:59
  Like I have questions with
• 40:59
  that part just because of
• 41:01
  the leaks that happen on
• 41:02
  the CrossFit Games side of things.
• 41:07
  I want to say this cause I
• 41:08
  want this on record of,
• 41:09
  of my opinion is this is
• 41:12
  the first time in following
• 41:13
  CrossFit where I see a,
• 41:16
  like a legit logical season
• 41:23
  for the first time ever.
• 41:27
  this actually got me excited
• 41:29
  and I know there's a lot of
• 41:30
  details missing and I want
• 41:32
  to know what those details
• 41:33
  are but at this point like
• 41:35
  I've seen this structure
• 41:37
  work in tennis and in golf
• 41:40
  and and auto racing and
• 41:44
  things like that where
• 41:45
  there's a point system and
• 41:47
  you try to earn points to
• 41:49
  get your pro card um
• 41:52
  And I think the pro card is important,
• 41:54
  though.
• 41:54
  Like, it's like, I don't think if, like,
• 41:56
  as a pro athlete,
• 41:57
  you should have to do half of, like,
• 41:59
  most of these qualifiers.
• 42:00
  Like,
• 42:00
  you've established yourself as a pro
• 42:02
  that you should be able to
• 42:03
  get some sort of bypass, you know,
• 42:07
  at certain stages.
• 42:08
  So, like,
• 42:09
  I like this idea for those athletes.
• 42:11
  Like, I think...
• 42:12
  that's good and it's at
• 42:13
  least a one-year thing you
• 42:16
  know you you earn yourself
• 42:17
  through the prior year of
• 42:18
  playing like you know you
• 42:19
  earn your contract as any
• 42:21
  type of pro athlete like
• 42:22
  from the previous year of
• 42:24
  playing you whether you
• 42:25
  perform well the following
• 42:26
  year is you know whatever
• 42:28
  like you you got your
• 42:29
  contract based off your
• 42:30
  previous performance and I
• 42:32
  think that that makes sense
• 42:33
  and you get to skip parts
• 42:35
  of the season because
• 42:36
  you've earned that right
• 42:38
  and you get a contract
• 42:40
  which is pretty freaking awesome
• 42:43
  Now, you know,
• 42:44
  there's a lot of questions behind this,
• 42:45
  like where's the money coming from?
• 42:47
  Do they have the money to sustain this?
• 42:49
  Can it sustain year over year?
• 42:52
  But the one piece I'm
• 42:54
  excited about is it's like
• 42:58
  we keep trying to make the
• 43:00
  CrossFit season fit
• 43:03
  what we loved that worked
• 43:05
  but we couldn't afford and
• 43:08
  and it we're just trying to
• 43:09
  make like the square pegs
• 43:10
  fit in the round holes all
• 43:12
  the time this is like a
• 43:14
  complete detachment of
• 43:15
  going in a different
• 43:16
  direction going here is
• 43:18
  something that makes sense
• 43:20
  you can follow it from the
• 43:21
  beginning of the season to
• 43:22
  the end of the season you
• 43:24
  can follow a points
• 43:25
  leaderboard to know like
• 43:26
  who the top twenty athletes are
• 43:29
  Who's on the cusp?
• 43:30
  Who's fighting for that pro card?
• 43:35
  I think it adds a lot of excitement.
• 43:37
  I agree.
• 43:40
  I hope it works.
• 43:43
  Last night on Savant,
• 43:44
  Brian Spin made a comment.
• 43:47
  And I like Brian.
• 43:48
  He is my source for news.
• 43:50
  I watch The Spin every Wednesday.
• 43:52
  But he said he couldn't see
• 43:54
  people watching the same
• 43:55
  athletes comp after comp.
• 43:58
  That's what tennis is.
• 43:59
  That's what golf is.
• 44:00
  I don't think it's going to
• 44:02
  be the same athletes.
• 44:03
  You're going to get new
• 44:04
  challengers that are going to be there.
• 44:06
  And it's only one year.
• 44:07
  It's not year after year.
• 44:08
  It's only the one.
• 44:09
  Those top-twenty pro cards
• 44:11
  are going to change every single year.
• 44:13
  Agreed.
• 44:14
  Quite a bit, actually.
• 44:15
  And in the game season,
• 44:16
  we're watching Matt Frazier
• 44:17
  win five times in a row.
• 44:18
  We're watching Tia Toomey win seven times.
• 44:22
  And people still show up to
• 44:24
  the games to watch that.
• 44:32
  Jamie, you have thoughts I can see.
• 44:33
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 44:34
  I just, I, I feel like,
• 44:40
  I feel like there's not
• 44:41
  enough money in our sport to,
• 44:45
  I love the idea of this.
• 44:46
  I love that you like,
• 44:47
  we want to give a pro card
• 44:49
  and give people money and
• 44:50
  they earn their spot.
• 44:51
  But I don't know that our sport,
• 44:56
  can handle that model.
• 44:58
  Like, especially just for twenty athletes.
• 45:01
  My issue with this is like, what if,
• 45:05
  what if Roman is challenger
• 45:07
  number two and falls in at
• 45:09
  qual tour one and breaks
• 45:11
  his foot again and he's out?
• 45:13
  Next man up.
• 45:15
  Is it though?
• 45:15
  Now you've paid him for the
• 45:16
  whole year and he has that
• 45:17
  twenty spot for the whole year.
• 45:19
  And if he's not able to
• 45:21
  compete at the next comp,
• 45:23
  next challenger's up.
• 45:25
  You got nineteen pro and you
• 45:26
  got eleven challengers
• 45:28
  until he makes it back.
• 45:29
  His spot will be guaranteed
• 45:31
  on the next in-person
• 45:32
  competition if he's OK.
• 45:34
  If he's not,
• 45:34
  then you're having eleven challengers.
• 45:38
  And if he doesn't ever get
• 45:39
  enough points that year,
• 45:40
  he could be at a risk of
• 45:42
  losing his pro card and
• 45:43
  having to fight for it the
• 45:44
  following year.
• 45:46
  I just think our sport is too, like,
• 45:49
  I would rather see you, like, whatever,
• 45:51
  pick the first twenty for the first event,
• 45:53
  get your challengers,
• 45:55
  but I would rather see
• 45:55
  money go to the ten challengers,
• 45:58
  get them there, and, like,
• 46:00
  follow the season that way.
• 46:01
  Like, pay people's way to events.
• 46:04
  Pay people to get there.
• 46:08
  I mean,
• 46:08
  essentially sponsor all the
• 46:09
  athletes who have proven
• 46:12
  their way to be physically
• 46:14
  active at this event.
• 46:18
  think it takes away the
• 46:19
  incentive of the pro card
• 46:22
  the pro card has to mean
• 46:24
  something and you've earned
• 46:25
  that through other than
• 46:27
  this first year other than
• 46:29
  this first year you have
• 46:30
  earned that right through
• 46:31
  competition to be at the
• 46:33
  top twenty athlete in the
• 46:35
  next season to only have to
• 46:37
  show up at the live events
• 46:40
  And if you can't, then there's a backfill.
• 46:43
  Just like Rafael Nadal has
• 46:45
  to withdraw from the French Open,
• 46:47
  the next person in the
• 46:49
  world rankings gets a shot.
• 46:52
  Right?
• 46:53
  Just like that.
• 46:55
  And then he won't get any
• 46:57
  points for that event and
• 46:59
  probably will have a good
• 47:00
  chance of losing that pro
• 47:02
  card for the following season.
• 47:04
  Yeah, you see it in tennis all the time.
• 47:06
  A number one can be injured,
• 47:07
  misses a bunch of comps.
• 47:08
  We know they're the best in the sport,
• 47:10
  but their ranking has gone
• 47:12
  down because they haven't
• 47:12
  accumulated those points.
• 47:14
  They've got to fight for it back.
• 47:16
  Yeah,
• 47:17
  but those people are all getting paid
• 47:18
  to go there and getting
• 47:19
  their way paid to get there.
• 47:21
  Is the pro card going to be
• 47:24
  all paid for the athletes, you think?
• 47:26
  I think it's just that you
• 47:27
  get whatever that sum is as
• 47:30
  a budget for the year.
• 47:32
  And now you can choose to
• 47:33
  use that to pay to get you there,
• 47:35
  but that that's your money for the year.
• 47:41
  Again, like this is just the beginning.
• 47:44
  Think of it this way.
• 47:45
  If you can actually get a
• 47:46
  sport that people
• 47:47
  understand that actually
• 47:49
  has a structure for the
• 47:49
  season and people actually follow,
• 47:52
  that will actually get more
• 47:54
  money into the sport.
• 47:55
  Maybe people that have given
• 47:58
  up on a sport that changes
• 48:00
  its season every year and
• 48:02
  the way to get to the
• 48:03
  CrossFit Games every year is saying, hey,
• 48:06
  I'm going to bet on this
• 48:07
  one with an actual structure.
• 48:10
  And I'm not saying every
• 48:11
  sponsor is going to do that,
• 48:12
  but I'm sure there's a handful.
• 48:18
  And like the more I look at this,
• 48:19
  the open to all, like I think the,
• 48:22
  do you think the pros do
• 48:23
  that one as well?
• 48:25
  What's this open to all?
• 48:26
  And that's the one I have no
• 48:29
  doubt that they need to do that one.
• 48:31
  But if they need more points
• 48:32
  to solidify their top twenty,
• 48:33
  it could be a way to.
• 48:34
  Just yeah,
• 48:34
  I'm just thinking the open to
• 48:38
  all versus tend to qualify,
• 48:39
  tend to like that open to all just.
• 48:42
  I don't know.
• 48:44
  That's the one we really
• 48:45
  need more information on.
• 48:47
  I need to pull up a couple of comments.
• 48:50
  Clock says a Saudi,
• 48:51
  a Saudi Prince recently
• 48:52
  joined the executive board
• 48:53
  of the IF three.
• 48:54
  I'm wondering if he's pushed
• 48:55
  some money into the WFP.
• 48:58
  That's a very interesting
• 48:58
  statement and something
• 48:59
  that I have no clue about,
• 49:01
  but it'd be nice for some
• 49:04
  Saudi Prince money to come
• 49:05
  into the sport.
• 49:06
  For sure.
• 49:08
  Steven Tackett says,
• 49:10
  what is the number one most
• 49:11
  important thing about WFP
• 49:12
  that needs to happen to
• 49:14
  make it successful?
• 49:18
  They need to be smart with their money.
• 49:20
  Yeah.
• 49:21
  And they need to keep a
• 49:22
  structure that people understand.
• 49:26
  And they need a way for
• 49:27
  people to watch it.
• 49:31
  Like the media is going to
• 49:32
  be really important.
• 49:33
  Agree.
• 49:37
  Because you need people there to see it,
• 49:40
  whether they're there or at home.
• 49:41
  If the stands are empty,
• 49:43
  it's not going to work.
• 49:46
  The rumor is that they have
• 49:47
  been given a chunk of money.
• 49:50
  They need to make that chunk
• 49:51
  last as long as it can last
• 49:53
  to prove that this can work.
• 50:00
  I mean...
• 50:02
  I would say you need like
• 50:03
  the top athletes to make it
• 50:05
  legit legitimate, but I don't know.
• 50:09
  I have three seems to be doing okay.
• 50:11
  Like, and I don't,
• 50:12
  I would not say they have
• 50:13
  the best athletes there.
• 50:16
  Are they doing okay though?
• 50:17
  Are they more of just your penis?
• 50:19
  I don't know if they're doing like.
• 50:22
  They're not,
• 50:23
  they're not getting the stream
• 50:24
  watches that quite frankly,
• 50:27
  Brian friend gets on some.
• 50:30
  Some other comps.
• 50:31
  I mean, they're hosting,
• 50:33
  they're having comps and venue,
• 50:35
  bigger venues with a stream
• 50:36
  with prize purse.
• 50:39
  I would say that's somewhat successful.
• 50:43
  And it's not a one or a two year thing.
• 50:44
  They don't not pay their athletes.
• 50:45
  They don't.
• 50:48
  They don't say we didn't get
• 50:50
  enough vendors here and we
• 50:51
  can't pay this year in salary.
• 50:54
  It's not as successful as I
• 50:55
  think it could be.
• 50:56
  Like you're not actually
• 50:57
  getting the best athletes
• 50:58
  there besides like Norway
• 51:01
  who actually send like
• 51:02
  legit athletes there.
• 51:05
  Like USA, Canada,
• 51:07
  like it's not our top
• 51:08
  athletes that are there.
• 51:10
  And why do you think that is?
• 51:11
  Because I watched it today
• 51:13
  and I saw there was like five U.S.
• 51:16
  athletes there.
• 51:19
  Is it the bastardization of CrossFit?
• 51:22
  Is it that or is it because
• 51:23
  it's international and it
• 51:28
  doesn't like that's expensive.
• 51:31
  So I think that to be fair
• 51:33
  to the I have three where
• 51:35
  we are strong in North
• 51:36
  America is that they are
• 51:38
  they are diving into
• 51:40
  colleges and universities for teams.
• 51:44
  And that's that's where
• 51:45
  their growth is going to be.
• 51:47
  Because it's primarily more
• 51:49
  of a team concept,
• 51:52
  like country versus country,
• 51:53
  as opposed to individual
• 51:54
  versus individual.
• 51:58
  Their goal is to eventually
• 52:00
  be an Olympic sport.
• 52:04
  And so they are restricted
• 52:07
  by the rules of the Olympic
• 52:08
  Committee to make this an Olympic sport.
• 52:13
  But I like their idea of
• 52:14
  their workouts and like
• 52:16
  they're announcing,
• 52:17
  it's like you have a skill workout,
• 52:18
  you have a gymnastics workout,
• 52:19
  you have an endurance speed or power,
• 52:21
  whatever it is.
• 52:23
  Like, I think that's,
• 52:24
  there's something with that
• 52:25
  that's marketable for like
• 52:29
  the Olympic committee and
• 52:31
  stuff like that.
• 52:32
  It's interesting.
• 52:33
  It's just not getting the recognition of,
• 52:37
  you know,
• 52:37
  the CrossFit games and the
• 52:39
  fittest on earth and that title.
• 52:45
  so let me ask you this.
• 52:46
  If it becomes an Olympic sport, does it,
• 52:48
  does it,
• 52:48
  and you're now doing it for your
• 52:50
  country and to be able to
• 52:51
  walk into that Olympic stadium,
• 52:53
  do you think some of the
• 52:54
  more fit athletes would
• 52:56
  then invest in it?
• 52:56
  One thousand percent.
• 52:59
  If it's going to the Olympics, for sure.
• 53:03
  I mean,
• 53:03
  I feel like you automatically get
• 53:05
  sponsored if you're
• 53:07
  representing your country.
• 53:08
  Like you, this is the thing,
• 53:09
  like people need to be,
• 53:12
  their expenses covered to
• 53:13
  get to these events.
• 53:14
  Yeah.
• 53:18
  Right.
• 53:19
  But I think you're thinking
• 53:20
  of sponsorship in the
• 53:21
  current format where you
• 53:24
  have to be an influencer
• 53:25
  and you have to be all this other stuff.
• 53:28
  If we actually had a sport
• 53:29
  that had a season that made
• 53:31
  sense that people would follow,
• 53:33
  people would start rooting
• 53:34
  for athletes because of what they do,
• 53:37
  not because of what they post.
• 53:39
  Right.
• 53:40
  But you're not going to get
• 53:41
  an Olympic sport of this
• 53:42
  when we have no amateur leagues.
• 53:46
  You look at any type of
• 53:47
  sport that is at the Olympics,
• 53:49
  there's actual amateur leagues of that,
• 53:53
  and young kids can do it,
• 53:54
  and then they can do it
• 53:57
  throughout their whole lives,
• 53:59
  and then you get the
• 53:59
  professionals that go to
• 54:00
  the Olympics and whatnot.
• 54:01
  You don't have that for CrossFit.
• 54:03
  Yeah.
• 54:08
  true I think there's some
• 54:10
  clubs forming but I don't
• 54:12
  think we it's and like I
• 54:14
  said I have three is diving
• 54:15
  into the college and
• 54:16
  university scene uh but it
• 54:18
  has not gone down to like
• 54:20
  high school or um like
• 54:25
  little league style stuff
• 54:27
  or club sports for younger athletes
• 54:32
  They must somewhat do that
• 54:34
  internationally because it
• 54:35
  sounded like they had
• 54:36
  twelve and thirteen year olds at this.
• 54:38
  I have three.
• 54:41
  I know they,
• 54:41
  they have gone younger than CrossFit.
• 54:44
  Yeah.
• 54:45
  I mean,
• 54:45
  I heard him this morning say they
• 54:47
  did their podiums for the
• 54:48
  twelve and thirteen year olds.
• 54:50
  But in Norway,
• 54:52
  functional fitness is an
• 54:55
  Olympic sport or whatever.
• 54:57
  They are enforced by the
• 54:58
  country and are subsidized to train.
• 55:02
  Yeah.
• 55:08
  And that's why Norway sends
• 55:10
  all the big athletes there
• 55:11
  because they're doing it to
• 55:13
  get those subsidies to
• 55:14
  subsidize their training
• 55:16
  for the rest of their season.
• 55:22
  I'm not sure we are getting
• 55:24
  that anytime soon in the US.
• 55:37
  Yeah.
• 55:37
  So final question.
• 55:39
  So we have vague information
• 55:42
  about the WFP.
• 55:46
  Yay or nay or wait to see what's coming?
• 55:48
  Wait to see.
• 55:52
  I mean, I'm a yay right now,
• 55:54
  but there's still a lot to see.
• 55:58
  Yeah, I can't wait to see what's coming.
• 56:03
  This actually is going to be
• 56:04
  very exciting.
• 56:05
  Excited.
• 56:06
  It could be exciting.
• 56:07
  I just think there's a ton
• 56:08
  more information that we need.
• 56:12
  On both sides.
• 56:14
  This is quite the teaser.
• 56:15
  This and the CrossFit Games.
• 56:17
  We don't know anything about
• 56:19
  anything right now.
• 56:22
  Yep.
• 56:25
  All right.
• 56:28
  So get us back to what's going on.
• 56:33
  In the news this week was
• 56:35
  that Jason Hopper made an
• 56:36
  announcement that he is
• 56:38
  leaving HWPO and headed to
• 56:41
  Brute with Coach L. Any thoughts on that?
• 56:49
  I cringe at those type of things,
• 56:51
  like the announcements.
• 56:53
  It's like those high school
• 56:54
  athletes that are like,
• 56:56
  I'm going to put this hat on.
• 56:58
  No, this one.
• 56:58
  I'm like, I don't care.
• 56:59
  Just announce whatever you want to do.
• 57:04
  I always cringe at those type of, ooh,
• 57:07
  let me give you the jersey.
• 57:09
  Ooh, let's look at it.
• 57:10
  It's brute.
• 57:11
  It's too much for me.
• 57:13
  I find it's cringey.
• 57:15
  but it's cool that he's
• 57:18
  pursuing another program
• 57:21
  trying something else out
• 57:24
  seeing how he can develop I
• 57:27
  think it'll be I think
• 57:29
  that'll be a good fit for
• 57:30
  him he's not moving it's
• 57:36
  like I could see the appeal
• 57:38
  there and I feel like him
• 57:40
  and Dalen have built a bit of a
• 57:44
  bromance, but I,
• 57:46
  I feel like the move would
• 57:48
  be to like actually go and
• 57:49
  train with Alan.
• 57:50
  And, um, I don't know,
• 57:53
  maybe that would be too, too much,
• 57:54
  too intense.
• 57:55
  So maybe that wouldn't be great,
• 57:57
  but I guess I'm curious,
• 57:58
  is there like some plan of
• 58:03
  like sharing workouts and
• 58:05
  leaderboards to gauge
• 58:06
  fitness throughout the year?
• 58:07
  Like what?
• 58:08
  I don't know.
• 58:08
  Like there's gotta be a
• 58:10
  thought process behind this.
• 58:13
  that you want to go and work
• 58:15
  with this coach?
• 58:16
  Well,
• 58:17
  I think that their reputation speaks
• 58:19
  for them, like for itself,
• 58:20
  the last couple of years,
• 58:21
  they've had extremely successful athletes,
• 58:24
  both on the females and male side,
• 58:26
  like last year or not this year,
• 58:28
  but the fall,
• 58:29
  the last year they had almost all,
• 58:31
  I think all their semifinal
• 58:32
  athletes might get to the games.
• 58:34
  Um,
• 58:35
  this year they have top
• 58:36
  athletes so I think being
• 58:39
  curious about what's going
• 58:40
  on in that you know type of
• 58:42
  programming caught jason's
• 58:44
  eye and he's looking for
• 58:46
  something new like once
• 58:47
  you've finished high twice
• 58:48
  now like I think seventh
• 58:50
  the one year and fourth
• 58:51
  this past year he might
• 58:52
  just be needing a little
• 58:53
  motivation and this is a
• 58:55
  little spark to kind of
• 58:56
  re-get him excited about
• 58:58
  training and new things
• 59:00
  versus the same type of
• 59:01
  programming that you've done um
• 59:04
  I think it could be good.
• 59:07
  I don't think he even needs
• 59:08
  to compare himself really to Dallin.
• 59:09
  I think he's just trying to, you know,
• 59:11
  be a sponge and learn from
• 59:14
  different types of programming.
• 59:15
  Like,
• 59:16
  like he basically said that he's
• 59:17
  learned what he needed to learn from,
• 59:20
  you know,
• 59:20
  hard work pays off and I'm sure
• 59:23
  he's learning a lot through
• 59:24
  JR and he's going to go and
• 59:26
  grab whatever he likes from
• 59:29
  this other group and see from there.
• 59:34
  When in a related story,
• 59:35
  Jake Marconi announced that
• 59:37
  he is no longer coaching
• 59:38
  elite athletes and that he
• 59:40
  is taking over HWPO strong
• 59:43
  and moving back to Connecticut, uh,
• 59:45
  to be with his family.
• 59:48
  And that could have played a
• 59:49
  part in the role too.
• 59:50
  If, if, yeah.
• 59:52
  Who knows?
• 59:53
  Yeah.
• 59:53
  I wonder if they had that
• 59:54
  talk that Marconi was going
• 59:56
  to be wrapping up and where
• 59:59
  Jason's place really would be.
• 1:00:01
  Um,
• 1:00:04
  I am curious if Danielle
• 1:00:05
  Brandon and Jason will.
• 1:00:07
  She's in Florida, isn't she?
• 1:00:08
  Nashville.
• 1:00:10
  Oh, she is in Nashville.
• 1:00:14
  It's a little far, but.
• 1:00:17
  So they seem to have a
• 1:00:19
  pretty good relationship, too.
• 1:00:22
  Yeah, I think like.
• 1:00:25
  So I met Coach L at Masters Games,
• 1:00:29
  and I loved talking to him.
• 1:00:32
  He was so easy to talk to, such a nice guy,
• 1:00:36
  super laid back compared to
• 1:00:38
  a lot of coaches,
• 1:00:39
  does not get overly excited
• 1:00:42
  about anything.
• 1:00:42
  He's super calm.
• 1:00:44
  And maybe he's just looking
• 1:00:45
  for something like that,
• 1:00:47
  like just that calming
• 1:00:48
  voice on game day because, I mean,
• 1:00:51
  that's what Coach L is.
• 1:00:56
  Where is he out of, uh, Louisiana?
• 1:00:59
  Does he have his own gym?
• 1:01:06
  I don't know.
• 1:01:06
  I don't know.
• 1:01:07
  Uh,
• 1:01:07
  because most of his athletes are remote,
• 1:01:09
  if not all right.
• 1:01:13
  I first got to know him when
• 1:01:14
  Matt Pullen was one of our, um,
• 1:01:17
  all access athletes and that,
• 1:01:18
  and he was Matt Pullen's
• 1:01:19
  coach and he trained Matt
• 1:01:23
  to then become a brute coach.
• 1:01:25
  Oh,
• 1:01:27
  so is that what matt's doing
• 1:01:28
  right now uh I know he's
• 1:01:30
  doing that part part of his
• 1:01:32
  day okay good for him yeah
• 1:01:38
  so brooke is transferring
• 1:01:40
  over to the we prefer the
• 1:01:41
  hate under jr is that what
• 1:01:46
  I did not see that it seems
• 1:01:49
  she tagged uh she tagged
• 1:01:50
  that on her story tonight
• 1:01:54
  On Instagram or today, today or tonight.
• 1:01:55
  I don't know which one.
• 1:01:59
  See, and I feel like,
• 1:02:00
  I feel like Jason enjoyed
• 1:02:02
  when Brooke was in town and
• 1:02:04
  they worked out together.
• 1:02:05
  I feel like that would have
• 1:02:07
  been a good path to go down.
• 1:02:13
  Yeah,
• 1:02:14
  like we've seen like the male and
• 1:02:16
  female combinations that
• 1:02:18
  work better versus like him
• 1:02:20
  going to train with Dallin
• 1:02:21
  and having that direct
• 1:02:22
  competition the entire year.
• 1:02:24
  And I think the male and
• 1:02:28
  female competition is
• 1:02:30
  different and they can
• 1:02:31
  mutually help each other
• 1:02:32
  and give each other
• 1:02:33
  pointers and without it
• 1:02:35
  being as defeating sometimes.
• 1:02:39
  Yeah.
• 1:02:49
  No, go to the bottom of that.
• 1:02:50
  Okay.
• 1:02:55
  Oh, there it is.
• 1:02:57
  We prefer the hate.
• 1:03:00
  I wouldn't say she's a, I don't know.
• 1:03:01
  I think she's just kind of
• 1:03:02
  trying to support Jr.
• 1:03:04
  I think she probably has a
• 1:03:05
  lot of respect for Jr.
• 1:03:06
  And you know, if you can,
• 1:03:09
  if you can use your
• 1:03:10
  platform to help prop somebody up,
• 1:03:13
  why wouldn't you?
• 1:03:17
  Yeah.
• 1:03:18
  But also won't be surprised
• 1:03:19
  if she does make a switch.
• 1:03:24
  I just get the feeling like
• 1:03:25
  HWPO is moving out of the elite athlete.
• 1:03:27
  And focusing more on the day
• 1:03:31
  to day athlete.
• 1:03:33
  And opening up other sports,
• 1:03:35
  golf strength.
• 1:03:36
  Yeah.
• 1:03:37
  And if they can get deep enough into golf,
• 1:03:39
  there's a lot of money
• 1:03:40
  there and I could support them.
• 1:03:43
  So.
• 1:03:46
  Yeah.
• 1:03:47
  Yeah.
• 1:03:47
  Which is crazy because they
• 1:03:48
  had that whole facility
• 1:03:49
  built for like their athletes to go and.
• 1:03:52
  And it doesn't even get used.
• 1:03:56
  And all of those big banners
• 1:03:58
  with Jason Hopper and
• 1:03:59
  Katrin and a lot of their
• 1:04:02
  athletes and a lot of them
• 1:04:04
  are not there now or retired.
• 1:04:07
  Yeah.
• 1:04:08
  Crazy.
• 1:04:10
  And all those special rigs
• 1:04:11
  that are just like a
• 1:04:12
  regional rig or a semifinal
• 1:04:13
  rig or a games rig, you know,
• 1:04:15
  so you don't.
• 1:04:16
  Wow.
• 1:04:17
  That was a huge... Well,
• 1:04:18
  I'm sure Rogue helped him
• 1:04:20
  out because Matt was a Rogue athlete.
• 1:04:22
  Was he not?
• 1:04:24
  Speaking of Rogue
• 1:04:25
  athletes... I don't know if he was.
• 1:04:27
  I don't know if he was Rogue.
• 1:04:30
  I don't think he was.
• 1:04:32
  I don't think so either.
• 1:04:34
  Just Nike and... Yeah.
• 1:04:37
  Yeah, I did see Tyson's shirt.
• 1:04:41
  Chicago Bear backup
• 1:04:42
  quarterback Tyson Bajent
• 1:04:44
  has a new shirt out from Rogue.
• 1:04:46
  Too bad it's not blue and orange,
• 1:04:49
  but it's nice.
• 1:04:53
  Yeah, that's a cool shirt.
• 1:04:57
  I guess I just assumed that
• 1:04:58
  because Matt was always
• 1:04:59
  here at Rogue for things.
• 1:05:06
  And it used to be you could
• 1:05:07
  just run down to Rogue and
• 1:05:08
  watch the athletes work out
• 1:05:11
  back in the day, and that was fun.
• 1:05:14
  so and and we'll speed this
• 1:05:16
  up a little bit because
• 1:05:17
  we're running a little bit
• 1:05:18
  long um bethany shadbur and
• 1:05:21
  bethany shadbird flores um
• 1:05:24
  rocks uh and was caught off
• 1:05:26
  guard um if you watch her
• 1:05:28
  youtube video about it um
• 1:05:30
  she did finish eighth
• 1:05:32
  overall first in her age
• 1:05:34
  group um at a one oh eight
• 1:05:37
  uh for her by herself she
• 1:05:38
  said that she had no clue
• 1:05:40
  where to go during the
• 1:05:42
  transitions um and so it
• 1:05:46
  made it her transitions a
• 1:05:47
  little slow um I think it's
• 1:05:51
  very clearly put out I
• 1:05:52
  think sometimes that's
• 1:05:53
  excuses yeah people say I
• 1:05:56
  mean I have heard it's there everyone
• 1:05:59
  But every one I've seen is pretty clear.
• 1:06:02
  Like there's huge blowups, station one,
• 1:06:04
  station two, station,
• 1:06:05
  like it's not confusing.
• 1:06:06
  When I entered, like it looked confusing.
• 1:06:08
  And then when I was like, I'm like,
• 1:06:09
  this is stupid easy.
• 1:06:10
  Like it's, you just go to that station.
• 1:06:12
  Like it's really not that
• 1:06:13
  difficult to understand.
• 1:06:15
  I think the part that
• 1:06:16
  surprised me in her
• 1:06:17
  statements were that she
• 1:06:19
  was not prepared for all the running.
• 1:06:21
  And she's one of the best
• 1:06:22
  runners in the sport.
• 1:06:24
  Her time is a great time though.
• 1:06:26
  Yeah.
• 1:06:27
  I mean,
• 1:06:27
  what was Christie like one Oh six
• 1:06:28
  when she did her,
• 1:06:29
  I think she did one Oh four, one Oh four.
• 1:06:32
  I want to wait.
• 1:06:33
  Excellent.
• 1:06:33
  That's a great time.
• 1:06:36
  Yeah.
• 1:06:36
  She, uh, she just said she was cramping up,
• 1:06:39
  um, after it was over, not during,
• 1:06:40
  but like after it was over,
• 1:06:42
  she just was not prepared
• 1:06:43
  for it all and was definitely feeling it.
• 1:06:46
  Um, after the event,
• 1:06:49
  you definitely have to train for it.
• 1:06:51
  Yeah.
• 1:06:51
  She said she did not.
• 1:06:53
  She just kept doing her normal training.
• 1:06:57
  um peter ben benoit I said
• 1:07:01
  it's dicey if you haven't
• 1:07:02
  done one before you do have
• 1:07:04
  to think there is no one
• 1:07:05
  telling you where to go
• 1:07:06
  it's up to you I mean you
• 1:07:08
  have big I I did one and
• 1:07:11
  it's a big blow up and I
• 1:07:14
  don't think it's very
• 1:07:15
  difficult at all to know
• 1:07:17
  you're going station one
• 1:07:19
  two three four five six
• 1:07:20
  seven eight I I don't think
• 1:07:23
  it's difficult I mean
• 1:07:27
  Maybe to count your own laps and be like,
• 1:07:28
  oh,
• 1:07:29
  I have to think about if I've done one
• 1:07:30
  or two,
• 1:07:31
  but then you look at the big
• 1:07:31
  screen and you can see what you've done.
• 1:07:35
  I really don't think it's that difficult.
• 1:07:39
  Yeah.
• 1:07:40
  Especially not for a games
• 1:07:41
  athlete that would have
• 1:07:42
  experience competing.
• 1:07:43
  Maybe if you're someone
• 1:07:44
  that's never done any competition,
• 1:07:45
  I could see that part.
• 1:07:47
  But someone with high-level
• 1:07:50
  experience in CrossFit can
• 1:07:52
  figure it out very, very fast.
• 1:07:54
  And if you can't, there's...
• 1:07:57
  Do you just go to the first
• 1:07:58
  open wall ball target or
• 1:08:00
  the first open... Yeah, you go... Like,
• 1:08:02
  you make your way to the end of the line.
• 1:08:06
  Like,
• 1:08:06
  you enter the zone and you go all the
• 1:08:08
  way to the next line that's open.
• 1:08:10
  And then people fill in, fill in, fill in,
• 1:08:12
  fill in.
• 1:08:13
  And then you go out.
• 1:08:14
  Okay.
• 1:08:17
  Well, in addition to this,
• 1:08:18
  Tia and James Newberry did
• 1:08:19
  a duo competition in
• 1:08:21
  Melbourne where they...
• 1:08:25
  Took third overall and
• 1:08:27
  posted the fastest time
• 1:08:28
  ever for a CrossFit couple.
• 1:08:32
  Duo.
• 1:08:34
  Yeah.
• 1:08:36
  Rumors starting now.
• 1:08:37
  I think everybody knows.
• 1:08:41
  Everybody knows.
• 1:08:42
  Yeah, because Christy did a very,
• 1:08:43
  very fast one.
• 1:08:44
  I think like a minute slower
• 1:08:46
  than that one with her
• 1:08:47
  partner a couple weeks ago.
• 1:08:50
  She was like, I want to say.
• 1:08:51
  Hmm.
• 1:08:55
  And you said in our Jay
• 1:08:58
  Crouch and Maddie did also broken hour.
• 1:09:05
  So CrossFitters killing the
• 1:09:07
  high rocks world.
• 1:09:11
  Corey Leonard said that
• 1:09:13
  Brandon Luckett ran six
• 1:09:14
  extra laps because he
• 1:09:15
  didn't know where the lap
• 1:09:16
  counter was in Dallas.
• 1:09:18
  The lap counter is here.
• 1:09:19
  Yeah.
• 1:09:19
  I mean,
• 1:09:22
  Listen, folks,
• 1:09:23
  you got to think in everyday life.
• 1:09:27
  That's concerning a little bit.
• 1:09:30
  Beck said,
• 1:09:31
  I went to Melbourne High Rocks yesterday.
• 1:09:33
  If the volunteers weren't
• 1:09:34
  there directing people,
• 1:09:35
  I think it would have been confusing.
• 1:09:40
  Maybe some are.
• 1:09:42
  When you see Hunter's videos,
• 1:09:43
  they all look the same to me.
• 1:09:44
  They look set up the same.
• 1:09:48
  Tia and James seem to do it just fine.
• 1:09:52
  Maybe it helps to have a
• 1:09:53
  person with you and talk it out.
• 1:09:55
  I don't know.
• 1:09:57
  Watch, watch.
• 1:09:58
  I guess we'll see.
• 1:09:59
  I'll go do one and I'll end
• 1:10:00
  up getting lost and turned around.
• 1:10:02
  So are you planning to do one?
• 1:10:05
  I'm sure I'll do one.
• 1:10:06
  Would you want to do your
• 1:10:07
  first one as a individual
• 1:10:10
  or get a feel for it as a team?
• 1:10:11
  Um, I, I mean, I guess I wouldn't care.
• 1:10:17
  Whatever, however I could get in,
• 1:10:19
  I would probably go individual, um,
• 1:10:21
  just I can't there's none
• 1:10:23
  like near me on a weekend
• 1:10:25
  that even is makes sense
• 1:10:29
  that's been the problem you
• 1:10:31
  would be awesome at it I
• 1:10:32
  would love to see what
• 1:10:33
  you're doing I would love
• 1:10:35
  to do it I actually had a
• 1:10:37
  uh one of the girls in
• 1:10:39
  training think tank um
• 1:10:41
  commented because I would
• 1:10:43
  like she follows my scores
• 1:10:44
  and I think she's a high
• 1:10:46
  rocks athlete and I had
• 1:10:48
  said I wanted to and she's
• 1:10:49
  like well I have a ticket to
• 1:10:51
  Anaheim a couple weeks ago, whatever,
• 1:10:53
  and I was like, yeah,
• 1:10:55
  I can't get to California.
• 1:10:56
  That's the problem.
• 1:10:57
  It's expensive.
• 1:10:59
  Yeah.
• 1:10:59
  Chicago, right?
• 1:11:03
  Don't they do them there?
• 1:11:04
  Chicago?
• 1:11:06
  Yeah.
• 1:11:06
  It was November sixteenth,
• 1:11:08
  which was my niece's
• 1:11:10
  eighteenth birthday when we
• 1:11:11
  went to the casino.
• 1:11:14
  It's been that weekend every year.
• 1:11:16
  It'd be tough for me to
• 1:11:22
  don't know we'll see all
• 1:11:25
  right we talked about
• 1:11:25
  if-three a lot um we can I
• 1:11:28
  cannot find an active
• 1:11:29
  leaderboard anywhere when I
• 1:11:32
  go to the site I think it's
• 1:11:33
  at I get a black screen um
• 1:11:35
  so maybe we'll talk about
• 1:11:37
  the winners of that next
• 1:11:37
  week but there was a big
• 1:11:40
  piece of controversy that
• 1:11:41
  came out of the if-three we
• 1:11:43
  talked earlier about them
• 1:11:44
  wanting to be an olympic
• 1:11:45
  sport and so they have adopted um
• 1:11:49
  the policy on Russia,
• 1:11:51
  just like the Olympics did,
• 1:11:53
  to fall in line with what
• 1:11:55
  the Olympics are doing.
• 1:11:57
  Then the organizers in Budapest, Hungary,
• 1:12:00
  made a mistake by putting
• 1:12:02
  the Russian flag on the
• 1:12:03
  name placards of the Russian athletes.
• 1:12:06
  And I think there was even
• 1:12:08
  some intro stuff announcing
• 1:12:09
  them as Russian athletes.
• 1:12:12
  Um,
• 1:12:13
  that got a Lithuanian masters athlete
• 1:12:16
  upset.
• 1:12:17
  She then wore a shirt on the
• 1:12:19
  competition floor that said,
• 1:12:21
  make Russia small again.
• 1:12:23
  Um,
• 1:12:23
  the organizers removed her from the
• 1:12:25
  competition and then Lithuania decided to,
• 1:12:30
  um,
• 1:12:30
  boycott the rest of the IF three over
• 1:12:34
  that.
• 1:12:36
  Um,
• 1:12:36
  the IF three has come out with a
• 1:12:38
  statement saying that they
• 1:12:39
  apologized for the mistake
• 1:12:41
  that they had made.
• 1:12:43
  Um,
• 1:12:44
  and regret that that had had any
• 1:12:47
  influence on anything.
• 1:12:48
  And we're saddened that
• 1:12:49
  Lithuania decided to
• 1:12:50
  boycott the IF three.
• 1:12:53
  Um,
• 1:12:53
  but then it went on for the rest of the
• 1:12:54
  weekend,
• 1:12:55
  but I did want to report that news.
• 1:12:57
  Um, uh, wow.
• 1:13:06
  Clock with just a lot of information.
• 1:13:08
  The IF-III is not an IOC
• 1:13:10
  member federation.
• 1:13:12
  They are trying to be.
• 1:13:15
  They are trying to be.
• 1:13:16
  I did find it listed as an
• 1:13:17
  international governing body under TAFISA,
• 1:13:21
  the Association for
• 1:13:22
  International Support for All.
• 1:13:24
  Yeah,
• 1:13:24
  they are trying to be recognized by
• 1:13:26
  the IOC.
• 1:13:28
  They have not reached that level yet.
• 1:13:32
  But that is the goal of this endeavor.
• 1:13:36
  And I think it would be cool
• 1:13:37
  if they could.
• 1:13:38
  It would be cool.
• 1:13:42
  In addition to that,
• 1:13:45
  legends happened this weekend.
• 1:13:48
  I was really sad not to be there.
• 1:13:50
  I was too.
• 1:13:52
  Where was it?
• 1:13:54
  Tempe, Arizona.
• 1:13:54
  Yeah, Arizona.
• 1:13:56
  That's right.
• 1:13:57
  One,
• 1:13:57
  it snowed like hell here on Thursday
• 1:13:59
  and Friday.
• 1:14:00
  It would have been really
• 1:14:00
  nice to be in Tempe instead of Ohio.
• 1:14:05
  And I just love those athletes.
• 1:14:07
  I love hanging out with them.
• 1:14:09
  I love how like they love to
• 1:14:10
  chat and talk during the
• 1:14:12
  competition week.
• 1:14:13
  It's just very laid back
• 1:14:16
  compared to like the elite level athletes
• 1:14:21
  And they still give one
• 1:14:22
  hundred percent on the
• 1:14:23
  floor in every event and
• 1:14:25
  are cutthroat to win the competitions.
• 1:14:29
  But they're just really cool
• 1:14:31
  to hang out with and their
• 1:14:32
  stories are freaking amazing.
• 1:14:34
  I'm just sad I wasn't there.
• 1:14:36
  But our girl Holly put out
• 1:14:38
  leaderboards the entire
• 1:14:39
  weekend for everybody to share.
• 1:14:41
  She also posted the
• 1:14:42
  schedules for every day.
• 1:14:44
  I hope we can get to a point
• 1:14:45
  where they are
• 1:14:49
  where they are streaming
• 1:14:50
  again um because I would
• 1:14:53
  watch these athletes how
• 1:14:56
  many athletes were there
• 1:14:57
  for um there's like uh per
• 1:15:00
  division so like forty for
• 1:15:04
  the other forty yeah so
• 1:15:06
  similar as um as the games
• 1:15:09
  yep as the masters on the end games
• 1:15:12
  And I don't know if they had,
• 1:15:14
  like last year they had
• 1:15:17
  teams and like even intermediate teams.
• 1:15:22
  Yes.
• 1:15:23
  So I don't know if they did
• 1:15:24
  any of that this year or not.
• 1:15:26
  Do they have prize money?
• 1:15:28
  They did not last year.
• 1:15:32
  They did not.
• 1:15:33
  Yes, they did not last year.
• 1:15:34
  I have not heard.
• 1:15:37
  That would be a very good
• 1:15:37
  question if we could get
• 1:15:38
  one of the podium people to let us know.
• 1:15:43
  I've heard Leonard said no
• 1:15:44
  teams this year.
• 1:15:45
  Oh, interesting.
• 1:15:46
  And also no prize money.
• 1:15:50
  And what?
• 1:15:51
  No prize money.
• 1:15:53
  I thought they posted that
• 1:15:55
  there would for sure be
• 1:15:55
  prize money this year.
• 1:15:56
  I don't know.
• 1:15:58
  If they don't start paying prize money,
• 1:16:00
  I think.
• 1:16:00
  I'm pretty sure there was a
• 1:16:03
  post like two months ago
• 1:16:05
  that said there would be
• 1:16:06
  prize money this year.
• 1:16:12
  Oof, that would be really bad.
• 1:16:15
  Yeah.
• 1:16:16
  I have the leaderboard.
• 1:16:18
  Yeah, I have Holly's up and ready to go.
• 1:16:21
  Okay.
• 1:16:21
  Oh, no,
• 1:16:22
  I have the leaderboard for I have three.
• 1:16:24
  Oh.
• 1:16:26
  Anybody?
• 1:16:28
  Just individual men and women.
• 1:16:29
  Give us give us the top three.
• 1:16:31
  So they have under twelve years old,
• 1:16:33
  under twelve and then
• 1:16:34
  thirteen to fourteen.
• 1:16:35
  That's crazy.
• 1:16:37
  So.
• 1:16:44
  You can put it in the private chat.
• 1:16:45
  Maybe I don't know how to share.
• 1:16:46
  I was trying to figure out Colin boss.
• 1:16:52
  Hard one.
• 1:16:54
  Do they have second,
• 1:16:55
  third or Tom King from UK?
• 1:16:58
  Second Len postal from Germany.
• 1:17:01
  Third Victor Helsing, half Norway,
• 1:17:03
  fourth Phillip Lundquist, Sweden,
• 1:17:06
  fifth Andre Anton.
• 1:17:10
  Christian Hartman, Victor Lundahl,
• 1:17:12
  Henrik Nygaard,
• 1:17:14
  and Jack Rosema was tenth.
• 1:17:18
  Nice.
• 1:17:19
  Good for him for going out there.
• 1:17:21
  Ladies open.
• 1:17:25
  Jack Rosema was one of the
• 1:17:26
  ones that was part of the Army, right?
• 1:17:29
  Yes.
• 1:17:30
  I wonder if they send... Who
• 1:17:35
  do you think won?
• 1:17:35
  Women's.
• 1:17:37
  Any guesses?
• 1:17:37
  Yes.
• 1:17:38
  Norway.
• 1:17:39
  No.
• 1:17:39
  Lena Richter.
• 1:17:41
  No.
• 1:17:41
  Andrea Solberg.
• 1:17:43
  From the open.
• 1:17:45
  Oh, Miriam.
• 1:17:46
  Yep.
• 1:17:46
  Mirjam von Rohrer was first.
• 1:17:48
  She's good.
• 1:17:49
  She's really good.
• 1:17:51
  Ella Wilkinson, second.
• 1:17:53
  Nicole Heer, third.
• 1:17:54
  Julia Jacobson, fourth.
• 1:17:56
  Ingrid Tondell, Norway.
• 1:17:59
  Astrid Tinn, Denmark, sixth.
• 1:18:02
  Emma Harving from the U.S., seventh.
• 1:18:05
  Julie Hugard, fourth.
• 1:18:07
  eighth, Anastasia Dodonova, ninth,
• 1:18:12
  and Camilla Solomonson-Hellman was tenth.
• 1:18:18
  Okay.
• 1:18:18
  Yeah.
• 1:18:18
  Is there some names in that top ten?
• 1:18:19
  Yeah, there is.
• 1:18:23
  Miriam's like very,
• 1:18:24
  like she's got some
• 1:18:24
  wheelhouse stuff that like
• 1:18:26
  is extremely elite.
• 1:18:28
  Like she's just raw in the
• 1:18:29
  sport that like she just
• 1:18:31
  tweaks up a little stuff here and there.
• 1:18:33
  Like she's good.
• 1:18:36
  Yeah, she'll
• 1:18:38
  all right I'm going to pull
• 1:18:39
  up the legends leaderboard
• 1:18:41
  and then we'll go through
• 1:18:43
  the top three in every
• 1:18:44
  division uh just because
• 1:18:46
  there's so many I'm not
• 1:18:47
  gonna go through yeah more
• 1:18:49
  than that uh corey corey
• 1:18:51
  says podium picks from
• 1:18:52
  legends have no one with
• 1:18:53
  giant or less than giant
• 1:18:54
  checks so they have never
• 1:18:58
  had a picture with checks
• 1:18:59
  when they've paid even when
• 1:19:00
  we got like about two
• 1:19:01
  thousand or one thousand
• 1:19:02
  from the one at mayhem
• 1:19:05
  they don't, they don't do that.
• 1:19:07
  There's no.
• 1:19:08
  So if that's how you're
• 1:19:09
  looking to see if they paid,
• 1:19:10
  that's a bad way to confirm that.
• 1:19:12
  So we're gonna start with
• 1:19:13
  sixty five plus on the women's side.
• 1:19:15
  Patricia McGill took first.
• 1:19:17
  Christine Long, second.
• 1:19:18
  Denise Moore, third.
• 1:19:19
  Our girl, Denise Moore,
• 1:19:21
  who is a frequent listener
• 1:19:22
  of the show on the men's side.
• 1:19:25
  John Crockett, first.
• 1:19:26
  John Guthrie, second.
• 1:19:27
  Alan Boyce, third.
• 1:19:31
  Then we go.
• 1:19:32
  How many events?
• 1:19:34
  Eight.
• 1:19:36
  Nine.
• 1:19:38
  They went Thursday through Sunday.
• 1:19:40
  It's four days.
• 1:19:41
  And they do,
• 1:19:41
  I think they do three events
• 1:19:42
  on one of the days.
• 1:19:43
  And the final event is a two point.
• 1:19:46
  It's a double score.
• 1:19:48
  Well, maybe they only did two each day.
• 1:19:49
  I don't know.
• 1:19:54
  okay um yeah so I think it's
• 1:19:57
  nine but I don't quote me
• 1:19:59
  on that uh on the women's
• 1:20:00
  side for sixty sixty-four
• 1:20:02
  Lynn Watt another friend of
• 1:20:03
  the show uh we've
• 1:20:04
  interviewed her in the past
• 1:20:05
  Lucy Bishop Marie lasage on
• 1:20:08
  the men's side Ralph Bass
• 1:20:10
  Gary Cottle and Chris Bowman
• 1:20:16
  Then on the fifty five to fifty nine,
• 1:20:19
  Cindy Hinkle is Hinkle,
• 1:20:20
  another friend of the show
• 1:20:21
  and best friend of Denise
• 1:20:22
  Moore to Mavar and Christy Looney.
• 1:20:28
  And then on the men's side, Andrew Denham,
• 1:20:30
  Rick Stefano and Sean Marsh.
• 1:20:34
  Fifty to fifty-four, T. Geby,
• 1:20:38
  Kim Van Zanten, Ada Koplinger.
• 1:20:42
  On the men's side, Corey Borling,
• 1:20:44
  a friend of the show, too,
• 1:20:45
  interviewed him.
• 1:20:46
  Vincent Voisin and Brian Cheek.
• 1:20:51
  On the women's side,
• 1:20:52
  and I was so excited to see this,
• 1:20:53
  because after a devastating
• 1:20:55
  ankle injury following from pegboard,
• 1:20:57
  Amy Shepatin in her first
• 1:20:59
  time back on a competition
• 1:21:01
  floor since last Legends
• 1:21:03
  takes the win again.
• 1:21:05
  So it's cool to see that.
• 1:21:06
  I chatted with her a little
• 1:21:08
  bit over the weekend.
• 1:21:09
  it was cool to see her back
• 1:21:10
  out there doing so well
• 1:21:11
  sarah blunk took second and
• 1:21:13
  marie foist took third on
• 1:21:16
  the men's side jason grubb
• 1:21:18

• 1:21:19

  uh ryan redkey friend of
• 1:21:27
  the show great dude took
• 1:21:28
  second and joey hochman uh took third
• 1:21:34
  It sounds like Ryan was in
• 1:21:36
  first yesterday.
• 1:21:39
  He was in there for a lot of the weekend.
• 1:21:41
  Yeah.
• 1:21:43
  In Jamie's division,
• 1:21:44

• 1:21:46
  Carrie Mayle.
• 1:21:48

• 1:21:49
  Kayla Johnson, second.
• 1:21:51

  Chico Quesada took first.
• 1:21:58
  Austin Medford took second.
• 1:22:00

  took third scott and his
• 1:22:22
  wife kristin competed in
• 1:22:23
  the same competition I
• 1:22:24
  think that is for the first time ever
• 1:22:30
  she had some good events I
• 1:22:31
  don't know how she finished
• 1:22:32
  on the overall leaderboard
• 1:22:33
  but she had some top top
• 1:22:35
  ten finishes for sure and
• 1:22:39
  that is uh legends thank
• 1:22:43
  you holly do they test no no um
• 1:22:59
  lynn said it's my second
• 1:23:00
  time watching legends and I
• 1:23:02
  can now predict there will
• 1:23:03
  always be a wall ball
• 1:23:03
  chipper yeah I mean I feel
• 1:23:13
  like that's a safe workout
• 1:23:15
  to do corey said scott
• 1:23:19
  panchuk is a cartoon
• 1:23:20
  character level of fitness yeah
• 1:23:27
  so I do have one more like
• 1:23:29
  little bit of a statement I
• 1:23:30
  wanted to make about the
• 1:23:31
  masters and and all this so
• 1:23:35
  just for a moment I may
• 1:23:43
  have a riff coming we'll
• 1:23:45
  see how this comes out let
• 1:23:47
  me get comfortable here
• 1:23:47
  yeah I love the masters
• 1:23:52
  community I love everything
• 1:23:53
  about it I love the athletes to death
• 1:23:58
  this year we worked really
• 1:23:59
  hard to promote the Masters
• 1:24:02
  divisions as much as we
• 1:24:04
  possibly could last year
• 1:24:06
  after Legends we
• 1:24:07
  interviewed every champion
• 1:24:08
  of Legends on this show um
• 1:24:12
  and put those out for view
• 1:24:14
  we attended Legends we did
• 1:24:16
  reels the entire time we
• 1:24:17
  were there we didn't get
• 1:24:18
  paid we didn't get any
• 1:24:20
  compensation for anything
• 1:24:21
  we just did it out of the
• 1:24:22
  goodness of our heart
• 1:24:24
  We then went to the Legend
• 1:24:25
  of Masters CrossFit Games
• 1:24:27
  where we did an eleven part
• 1:24:29
  documentary behind the
• 1:24:31
  scenes of the Masters CrossFit Games,
• 1:24:34
  which was my pride and joy.
• 1:24:35
  I loved every minute of doing it.
• 1:24:38
  It was probably the most
• 1:24:39
  rewarding thing I've ever
• 1:24:40
  done in the CrossFit space.
• 1:24:44
  And then we have Legends Now
• 1:24:47
  that happened just recently.
• 1:24:50
  We put all this content out.
• 1:24:52
  and we hear the master say,
• 1:24:53
  nobody pays attention to us,
• 1:24:55
  nobody does anything, nobody puts it out,
• 1:24:59
  you realize I put all that
• 1:25:00
  content out and barely a
• 1:25:03
  handful of people shared
• 1:25:05
  any of the content.
• 1:25:11
  You can't just think that
• 1:25:12
  other people are going to go out there,
• 1:25:15
  do all this stuff,
• 1:25:16
  and it's just gonna
• 1:25:17
  magically grow your sport.
• 1:25:20
  You have to take part in it.
• 1:25:22
  You have to share the stuff
• 1:25:24
  that is out there promoting
• 1:25:25
  what it is that you want to grow.
• 1:25:30
  Legends did not share a single,
• 1:25:34
  single clip, reel,
• 1:25:36
  anything from the
• 1:25:37
  documentary that went out
• 1:25:39
  that we did at their
• 1:25:41
  competition to show how
• 1:25:43
  awesome these athletes were.
• 1:25:47
  Not a single reel, not a single post.
• 1:25:52
  athletes I I can name the
• 1:25:55
  handful of athletes that
• 1:25:56
  share the information and
• 1:25:59
  it's not the like you would
• 1:26:00
  think that the tenth place
• 1:26:03
  finisher or the twentieth
• 1:26:04
  place finish no it's will
• 1:26:05
  morad it's valvobrol
• 1:26:07
  they're the only people
• 1:26:08
  sharing this stuff the
• 1:26:13
  people that have been in
• 1:26:13
  the sport forever and know
• 1:26:14
  how it grew back in the day
• 1:26:17
  it doesn't just grow on its own
• 1:26:20
  It grows because you share it,
• 1:26:21
  then somebody else shares it,
• 1:26:23
  then somebody else shares it.
• 1:26:24
  Because we all have many
• 1:26:25
  communities that you are
• 1:26:27
  trying to get to.
• 1:26:28
  Community after community after community.
• 1:26:31
  And it doesn't happen unless
• 1:26:32
  you all share that information.
• 1:26:35
  Legends,
• 1:26:36
  you want to grow where spectators
• 1:26:37
  show up at your event?
• 1:26:39
  And so that you have money
• 1:26:40
  for prize money and you
• 1:26:41
  have money for a live stream?
• 1:26:43
  Share the freaking information,
• 1:26:45
  the content that's out
• 1:26:46
  there promoting your sport.
• 1:26:48
  promoting your event that you're doing,
• 1:26:50
  that people have put out there for free.
• 1:26:58
  The same thing happened at
• 1:26:59
  Masters Fitness Championship.
• 1:27:06
  The Masters athletes...
• 1:27:08
  What happens is everybody's like, well,
• 1:27:09
  they don't share because
• 1:27:10
  they don't know how to use social media.
• 1:27:11
  That's a crock.
• 1:27:13
  I go through these people's
• 1:27:14
  social media and they're
• 1:27:15
  sharing reel after reel of
• 1:27:17
  their workouts and the
• 1:27:18
  things they're doing.
• 1:27:19
  And then they get to star in
• 1:27:21
  a documentary and it doesn't get shared.
• 1:27:27
  It's ridiculous.
• 1:27:29
  Why is Jason Grubb the most
• 1:27:30
  popular person in the Masters division?
• 1:27:33
  Because he shares everything
• 1:27:34
  of other Masters.
• 1:27:36
  He puts out content
• 1:27:37
  constantly about himself.
• 1:27:39
  That's why he's the most
• 1:27:40
  popular athlete in the space.
• 1:27:47
  It is infuriating when you
• 1:27:49
  work as hard as you do and
• 1:27:51
  nobody has the time to just click share.
• 1:27:57
  I've done the hard work for you, legends.
• 1:28:01
  I put you as a collaborator
• 1:28:02
  on a lot of this stuff.
• 1:28:03
  All you have to do is hit accept.
• 1:28:08
  If you don't want it to show
• 1:28:09
  on your page in the regular part,
• 1:28:12
  then hit share and put it to your story.
• 1:28:16
  It's the only place people
• 1:28:17
  are going to know what it
• 1:28:18
  is you do and what these
• 1:28:19
  athletes are and how cool they are.
• 1:28:25
  Until then,
• 1:28:26
  you're just going to work out in private,
• 1:28:28
  in secret,
• 1:28:29
  because nobody's going to know
• 1:28:30
  what's going on.
• 1:28:35
  Yeah.
• 1:28:35
  Well,
• 1:28:36
  and I think it's... I'm guessing
• 1:28:38
  Legends didn't even, like,
• 1:28:39
  watch any of the... ...eleven-part series,
• 1:28:44
  which is unfortunate,
• 1:28:45
  because I think they need
• 1:28:46
  to see... They need to watch it.
• 1:28:49
  They need to figure out,
• 1:28:50
  and they need to work with
• 1:28:51
  you for access to figure
• 1:28:53
  out how to make this...
• 1:28:56
  better in the way that like
• 1:28:57
  whatever their vision for
• 1:28:59
  it is to like collaborate
• 1:29:00
  with you the fact that you
• 1:29:02
  couldn't get in the back
• 1:29:04
  was an issue and they need
• 1:29:05
  to see that they need to
• 1:29:06
  see well this could be
• 1:29:07
  better if we had a spot for
• 1:29:09
  scott or interviews or
• 1:29:11
  anything here um they need
• 1:29:14
  to they need to watch the
• 1:29:15
  whole series and then work
• 1:29:18
  with you can see it on day
• 1:29:19
  one when I had full access
• 1:29:21
  and I could walk right up
• 1:29:22
  to the athlete and talk and
• 1:29:24
  did you see one pissed off athlete
• 1:29:27
  No.
• 1:29:27
  No.
• 1:29:29
  I was respectful of everybody's space.
• 1:29:31
  I didn't interrupt a lift.
• 1:29:32
  I didn't, you know, interrupt a work.
• 1:29:34
  If they were stretching,
• 1:29:35
  I may have gone over and talked to them.
• 1:29:37
  Yeah.
• 1:29:40
  But then when you restricted my access,
• 1:29:41
  I had to yell at them from
• 1:29:42
  the side and hope they
• 1:29:44
  would come over to me.
• 1:29:47
  right and then there's times
• 1:29:48
  where like the audio is not
• 1:29:52
  as crisp as it could be
• 1:29:53
  because of situations like
• 1:29:55
  that so yeah I mean was it
• 1:29:59
  perfect no but like you
• 1:30:00
  were you had you had to do
• 1:30:03
  what you could do with what
• 1:30:04
  you had access to and so if
• 1:30:07
  they watch it and set up a
• 1:30:10
  game plan with you I mean
• 1:30:12
  we could get somewhere
• 1:30:12
  where this could be pretty
• 1:30:13
  freaking sweet um
• 1:30:16
  Well, and the crazy thing is,
• 1:30:18
  none of it was bashing them
• 1:30:20
  as an organization.
• 1:30:22
  No.
• 1:30:23
  This was a very candid,
• 1:30:24
  open conversation and nobody bashed you.
• 1:30:27
  That's what I was going to say.
• 1:30:28
  If they watch it,
• 1:30:29
  they would want to share it
• 1:30:30
  because it paints the event
• 1:30:31
  in a very good light.
• 1:30:33
  Almost everyone's very well run.
• 1:30:35
  Can't believe how smooth
• 1:30:36
  they're getting all these heats through.
• 1:30:38
  Yeah.
• 1:30:39
  it's all good.
• 1:30:40
  And that kind of stuff needs to be seen.
• 1:30:42
  So other people are like, wow,
• 1:30:43
  it sounds like a good event.
• 1:30:45
  I kind of want to go to that one.
• 1:30:46
  That's the stuff they need to share.
• 1:30:49
  Yeah.
• 1:30:50
  There was a,
• 1:30:51
  a small number of constructive criticisms,
• 1:30:54
  but usually followed by like, Hey,
• 1:30:56
  but I understand this is your one.
• 1:30:58
  Yeah.
• 1:31:02
  Yeah.
• 1:31:03
  So riff over, that's just it.
• 1:31:05
  I,
• 1:31:06
  it's frustrating when you work this hard.
• 1:31:10
  And the thing is,
• 1:31:11
  I love these athletes so
• 1:31:12
  much and I've developed
• 1:31:13
  relationships with so many
• 1:31:15
  of them and I want it to succeed.
• 1:31:17
  I don't want masters to go away.
• 1:31:19
  I want it to be.
• 1:31:20
  And that's what made me
• 1:31:23
  excited about the WFP,
• 1:31:24
  including age groups.
• 1:31:26
  Yeah.
• 1:31:27
  Right.
• 1:31:27
  Like they're actually saying,
• 1:31:30
  let's keep masters a part of this.
• 1:31:33
  If we're reading the tea leaves correctly.
• 1:31:35
  well yeah we need more
• 1:31:37
  information on that aspect
• 1:31:39
  of of it for sure because I
• 1:31:41
  think what has been
• 1:31:43
  released with the CrossFit
• 1:31:44
  game season is diminishing
• 1:31:46
  what the age groups are and
• 1:31:52
  getting closer to a sole
• 1:31:53
  focus of just the elite
• 1:31:55
  athletes which is
• 1:31:57
  surprising that they would
• 1:31:59
  be that direction with WFP
• 1:32:01
  including them than the other way around
• 1:32:05
  Did I miss something?
• 1:32:07
  Well,
• 1:32:07
  when you eliminate all the money from
• 1:32:09
  quarterfinals and all of that stuff,
• 1:32:12
  what are you going to use
• 1:32:13
  to fund a Masters Games and
• 1:32:15
  a Teens Games?
• 1:32:16
  And there's less.
• 1:32:20
  I don't know.
• 1:32:21
  I don't know because, I mean,
• 1:32:23
  that stuff is never shared.
• 1:32:24
  We don't know how much money
• 1:32:25
  was actually given to
• 1:32:26
  Legends or Pit to operate.
• 1:32:28
  What we do know is the prize
• 1:32:31
  purse did not change from
• 1:32:33
  twenty three to twenty four.
• 1:32:35
  And now it's probably going
• 1:32:37
  to change from twenty four
• 1:32:37
  to twenty five.
• 1:32:38
  That will be sad.
• 1:32:40
  And that's where I'm saying
• 1:32:41
  is the less of a focus,
• 1:32:43
  because the minute you drop
• 1:32:44
  the prize purse,
• 1:32:45
  the minute some people are
• 1:32:46
  going to say it's not worth
• 1:32:47
  it for me to do anymore.
• 1:32:49
  Yeah, it'll turn into the Legends Classic.
• 1:32:55
  Which.
• 1:32:57
  I mean,
• 1:32:57
  you can see on the leaderboard is not.
• 1:33:00
  It's just not all the athletes.
• 1:33:02
  Because they didn't pay last year.
• 1:33:03
  So who like some of your top
• 1:33:05
  athletes are not going to
• 1:33:06
  go back and spend their
• 1:33:07
  money to go to that event
• 1:33:09
  when they're not really getting anything.
• 1:33:11
  Like I'm looking at that for
• 1:33:12
  me next year and I'm like, oh,
• 1:33:14
  are you guys getting paid?
• 1:33:15
  No.
• 1:33:15
  All right.
• 1:33:15
  Check.
• 1:33:16
  Not going.
• 1:33:18
  Like.
• 1:33:19
  Right.
• 1:33:20
  I'm not going to go pay two
• 1:33:20
  thousand to go there.
• 1:33:22
  Hotel flight food.
• 1:33:24
  And there's no chance of me
• 1:33:25
  making any money back.
• 1:33:28
  And if the WFP has a age
• 1:33:31
  group division and they pay
• 1:33:32
  out the winners,
• 1:33:33
  I think that's a chunk
• 1:33:36
  they're going to take away.
• 1:33:39
  And we don't know any of that.
• 1:33:41
  Wouldn't it be freaking
• 1:33:42
  awesome if there was a
• 1:33:42
  Masters League with a pro card?
• 1:33:45
  Oh, that'd be freaking sweet.
• 1:33:48
  now we may we're probably
• 1:33:49
  way ahead of ourselves yeah
• 1:33:50
  that's not in the budget
• 1:33:52
  until this thing takes off
• 1:33:53
  but yeah that would be
• 1:33:54
  sweet right even if it's
• 1:33:55
  like three per age group
• 1:33:56
  that yeah rep you know and
• 1:33:59
  then you have seven
• 1:34:00
  challengers I don't know
• 1:34:02
  yeah that'd be sweet well
• 1:34:05
  we have gone over now
• 1:34:06
  because of my because of my rant my riff
• 1:34:11
  We're like,
• 1:34:11
  we're one of like probably the
• 1:34:13
  only podcast that really
• 1:34:15
  talks about masters all the time.
• 1:34:17
  So it's like people need
• 1:34:19
  also to like share, like,
• 1:34:22
  and subscribe to this one too.
• 1:34:23
  So more people can share and,
• 1:34:25
  and see the content of the
• 1:34:26
  masters as well.
• 1:34:30
  Yeah, I agree.
• 1:34:31
  I've been sitting on that
• 1:34:32
  for a couple months because
• 1:34:33
  it was really frustrating
• 1:34:35
  when I would tag all these people,
• 1:34:38
  all these entities and nobody shared it.
• 1:34:42
  You feel better?
• 1:34:42
  Got, got that off your chest.
• 1:34:44
  Feel a little bit better.
• 1:34:47
  Yeah.
• 1:34:47
  That was a good riff.
• 1:34:48
  That was a good riff.
• 1:34:50
  All right.
• 1:34:51
  Got to get back to doing a
• 1:34:52
  couple of those every now and then.
• 1:34:56
  And you two, you guys too,
• 1:34:57
  you've had some good ones in the past.
• 1:35:01
  We saw, we still have the buzzer.
• 1:35:02
  Just, you saw that, the, the effect.
• 1:35:06
  All right, guys.
