• 0:33
  How y'all are?
• 0:36
  Welcome to another edition
• 0:38
  of Cajun Wednesday on a Tuesday.
• 0:42
  Sometimes it be like that.
• 0:43
  Yeah, it's just spreading like a germ.
• 0:49
  Look,
• 0:49
  sometimes down here in South Louisiana,
• 0:51
  we just got to do stuff as it comes,
• 0:53
  like straight up CrossFit talk, right?
• 0:56
  Unknown and unknowable.
• 0:57
  Sometimes it just be like that.
• 0:59
  Well, normally you hear on Wednesday,
• 1:01
  I have no idea where on
• 1:03
  this planet I will be tomorrow at noon.
• 1:06
  Right.
• 1:07
  So let's do it today when I
• 1:10
  knew I was going to be
• 1:11
  right here and I could pull
• 1:13
  you in tomorrow.
• 1:14
  I'm going to be somewhere,
• 1:16
  hopefully in the state of
• 1:17
  New York at noon tomorrow.
• 1:20
  Hopefully I'm at least where
• 1:21
  I can pull over and do this
• 1:23
  show at least for fifteen
• 1:25
  minutes to hang out with y'all.
• 1:29
  That is kind of where we are this week.
• 1:32
  Somewhere between Ohio and New York,
• 1:35
  wherever that ends up.
• 1:36
  I am not into New York by noon tomorrow.
• 1:41
  As you told me,
• 1:42
  one of your events went last weekend.
• 1:44
  That means my shitty plan was done.
• 1:48
  And I got a shitty result
• 1:50
  from the shitty plan.
• 1:52
  A hundred percent.
• 1:54
  I had a terrible plan.
• 1:55
  I executed it perfectly.
• 2:00
  So Ohioans use you only on Cajun days.
• 2:07
  Yeah, just today, Aaron.
• 2:08
  Only on Cajun days.
• 2:10
  I gave him permission.
• 2:12
  It's fine.
• 2:14
  Yeah, and if you go to Southern Ohio,
• 2:15
  it is all y'all.
• 2:16
  Yeah.
• 2:22
  So one great thing that's
• 2:24
  happening this week is I'm
• 2:25
  actually losing my voice.
• 2:27
  On Games Week, you know,
• 2:29
  because timing has to be perfect.
• 2:33
  You couldn't time that
• 2:34
  better if you tried.
• 2:39
  But I do have to start
• 2:40
  today's show off sharing a
• 2:42
  text I got from Carolyn Prevost.
• 2:44
  Wow.
• 2:46
  As she is already in Albany,
• 2:49
  she's already getting geared up.
• 2:51
  Sweet.
• 2:52
  And I just had to share this.
• 2:55
  Should only take me a second
• 2:56
  to pull this up.
• 2:58
  All right.
• 3:00
  This is from Carolyn this morning.
• 3:03
  I've had two conversations.
• 3:05
  I've had conversations with
• 3:06
  two different people since
• 3:08
  arriving yesterday in Albany.
• 3:10
  One asked if I was
• 3:11
  volunteering at the games
• 3:13
  and the other this morning
• 3:14
  at breakfast told me
• 3:15
  there's a fitness room in
• 3:16
  the hotel and a CrossFit
• 3:18
  gym nearby if I'm looking
• 3:19
  to find a workout this weekend.
• 3:23
  Plus a pool.
• 3:24
  Nobody will ever think I
• 3:26
  look like a games athlete.
• 3:27
  F grade for life.
• 3:34
  Oh, dude, you couldn't make that up.
• 3:38
  You couldn't make that up.
• 3:40
  You need to.
• 3:40
  I hope Hiller sees that.
• 3:42
  I really, really do.
• 3:43
  Oh, my word.
• 3:46
  That's funny.
• 3:47
  Oh, there's a. Thanks.
• 3:48
  Thanks.
• 3:49
  Maybe if you're looking to
• 3:50
  find a workout this weekend.
• 3:53
  There's a CrossFit gym nearby.
• 3:54
  It's like right down the street.
• 3:56
  Dude.
• 3:57
  Yeah.
• 3:59
  That badass may be busy.
• 4:01
  Yeah.
• 4:04
  That's hilarious.
• 4:06
  That is really hilarious.
• 4:07
  And she's too nice to just go, yeah, yeah,
• 4:10
  I'm here for the actual CrossFit games.
• 4:12
  I don't know if you've heard
• 4:13
  of those or not,
• 4:13
  but I'm going to compete in that.
• 4:15
  No?
• 4:16
  Okay.
• 4:16
  Someone knew that.
• 4:17
  They asked her if she was volunteering.
• 4:19
  Are you volunteering?
• 4:22
  Yes.
• 4:23
  Yes.
• 4:24
  Yes, I am.
• 4:25
  I am volunteering my time.
• 4:26
  That is what's happening.
• 4:27
  Dude.
• 4:27
  I don't even know.
• 4:32
  God bless her for that.
• 4:34
  I love the fact that she
• 4:35
  loves that this happens.
• 4:37
  Yeah.
• 4:40
  And then she says like, hey,
• 4:42
  I got a body built to perform.
• 4:45
  Correct.
• 4:46
  Not for show.
• 4:47
  All for go.
• 4:49
  Go muscles, not show muscles.
• 4:50
  A whole different thing.
• 4:51
  Yep.
• 4:52
  Not that anybody would ever
• 4:53
  know the difference because
• 4:56
  she's sporting oversized
• 4:57
  t-shirts the entire time.
• 4:59
  And God bless her for it.
• 5:00
  I understand her reasoning
• 5:01
  and I support it a thousand percent.
• 5:04
  Good for her.
• 5:05
  Good for her.
• 5:06
  It is hilarious to think
• 5:07
  that somebody asked her if
• 5:08
  she was volunteering this
• 5:09
  weekend or that she wanted
• 5:10
  to get a workout in.
• 5:11
  There's a CrossFit gym right
• 5:12
  down the street.
• 5:12
  Yeah.
• 5:13
  Dude, that's good stuff right there.
• 5:17
  She's like a turbocharged station wagon.
• 5:20
  She's a...
• 5:23
  Oh, that's good stuff right there.
• 5:26
  I like that a little bit.
• 5:30
  So I thought that'd be a fun
• 5:31
  way to start off the show.
• 5:33
  As Albany is thickened with
• 5:36
  all the athletes getting there,
• 5:38
  individual check-in is today.
• 5:40
  You're doing all that kind of stuff.
• 5:43
  And then I don't know if you
• 5:44
  guys have seen it, but on Instagram,
• 5:47
  they came out that there's
• 5:48
  going to be a live demo and
• 5:50
  announcement of event nine.
• 5:52
  Yeah, noon.
• 5:53
  At one o'clock Eastern, noon Central?
• 5:57
  Yes, noon by time.
• 5:59
  If we can hang on just long enough,
• 6:00
  maybe we'll pop that up at the show.
• 6:06
  That's good stuff right there.
• 6:09
  Like when I go to a nail
• 6:10
  salon and other customers push past me,
• 6:12
  assuming I'm on break
• 6:13
  outside or something.
• 6:15
  They look at Judy and they're like,
• 6:19
  do I have to get on a waiting list?
• 6:21
  Who do I need to talk to?
• 6:22
  And Judy's like, I have no idea.
• 6:24
  I don't work here.
• 6:26
  What color best fits my complexion?
• 6:30
  I'll just throw it on them, Judy.
• 6:31
  You should probably just go with brown.
• 6:33
  I would put brown.
• 6:34
  I don't know.
• 6:35
  I have no idea what color nails...
• 6:37
  What color nails are
• 6:38
  supposed to look good and what aren't?
• 6:40
  I don't, that's not a thing for me.
• 6:42
  So.
• 6:42
  Yeah.
• 6:43
  You and I are probably like,
• 6:44
  if it's not in the Crayola box of eight,
• 6:46
  we have no clue.
• 6:47
  Not a single one.
• 6:50
  Not a single one.
• 6:53
  The twelve or the sixteen or
• 6:55
  good Lord to sixty four.
• 6:56
  I'm totally.
• 6:57
  I don't know how bad I
• 6:58
  wanted the sixty four.
• 6:59
  Like when I was in.
• 7:01
  I don't know, whatever,
• 7:02
  the kindergarten or whatever.
• 7:03
  And, like, I knew other people that had it,
• 7:04
  but my mom was too broke to
• 7:05
  be able to buy it.
• 7:07
  So, like, I had to make do with sixteen.
• 7:10
  I didn't get sixteen, not eight.
• 7:12
  So,
• 7:12
  I was pretty excited about that
• 7:13
  whenever that happened.
• 7:15
  Well,
• 7:15
  I wanted the sixty-four for the same
• 7:18
  reason every kid wanted the sixty-four.
• 7:21
  It had the built-in sharpener.
• 7:22
  Yeah.
• 7:24
  So,
• 7:24
  you could twist it on the back and get
• 7:26
  your crayons nice and crisp.
• 7:29
  be done.
• 7:29
  Yeah, look.
• 7:32
  Make me a real sharp line around this one.
• 7:36
  Yeah.
• 7:37
  Aaron says,
• 7:38
  will the announcement be on IG Live?
• 7:40
  It's supposed to be both on
• 7:41
  YouTube Live and IG Live.
• 7:43
  Yeah, I think all the lives,
• 7:45
  wherever they can go live,
• 7:46
  it's probably they are going to go live.
• 7:48
  We're going to try to hang
• 7:49
  on and broadcast it here.
• 7:51
  See what happens.
• 7:54
  Provided Scott's voice
• 7:55
  doesn't fall completely out
• 7:56
  of his throat by the time
• 7:57
  that actually comes on.
• 7:59
  Just take your time, buddy.
• 8:01
  Take your time.
• 8:01
  No rush.
• 8:04
  Gosh.
• 8:07
  I'm actually looking forward
• 8:09
  to getting out of here
• 8:10
  because something we're
• 8:11
  growing in this yard is killing me, man.
• 8:15
  Just burn it all, Scott.
• 8:16
  I heard fire is the ultimate cleanser.
• 8:18
  If you just burn everything in the yard,
• 8:19
  you'll probably be all right.
• 8:21
  Are ROYGBIV the only colors?
• 8:25
  Are the sharpener for sure?
• 8:28
  Everybody wanted that shortbread.
• 8:28
  That was the coolest thing
• 8:29
  Crayola did back in the day.
• 8:37
  Where has Kat been?
• 8:38
  Did her new boyfriend lock her down?
• 8:41
  Just talked to Kat this morning.
• 8:43
  She's doing awesome,
• 8:44
  but she's got a lot going
• 8:45
  on in her life right now.
• 8:49
  I bet she actually has her voice, though.
• 8:51
  Probably does.
• 8:52
  Jesus, man.
• 8:56
  Yeah.
• 9:00
  If it makes you feel any better,
• 9:01
  so I would spend my weekend
• 9:02
  in Kansas or in between Kansas,
• 9:05
  between Missouri and Kansas,
• 9:06
  because we were staying on
• 9:07
  one side of the line and
• 9:09
  Monster Games on the other
• 9:09
  side of the line.
• 9:11
  And starting Friday morning,
• 9:14
  I had a dry hack and cough
• 9:16
  the entire weekend and I
• 9:17
  don't have allergies.
• 9:18
  It's just that I'm so used
• 9:20
  to drinking my air.
• 9:22
  the entire time that the
• 9:26
  humid air that they had up
• 9:27
  there was just not real
• 9:29
  conducive to what I was doing.
• 9:31
  Your face is red, dude.
• 9:33
  That doesn't look good at all.
• 9:34
  Good now.
• 9:37
  I'm good.
• 9:37
  I'm good.
• 9:39
  I'm good.
• 9:43
  Super jazzed.
• 9:44
  Super jazzed about losing my voice.
• 9:45
  It's the best thing ever.
• 9:49
  Oh, man.
• 9:51
  Speaking of which,
• 9:52
  I want to tell you this
• 9:52
  because I know I texted it
• 9:53
  to you the other day,
• 9:54
  but before I forget about it,
• 9:56
  I had the most interesting
• 10:00
  Uber ride of my entire life
• 10:04
  Thursday afternoon.
• 10:06
  Yeah, last week, Thursday afternoon,
• 10:08
  coming from the airport to
• 10:10
  the venue for Monster Games.
• 10:12
  Yeah.
• 10:14
  My roommates for the weekend
• 10:15
  were not getting in until later on.
• 10:17
  So I was going to have to
• 10:18
  catch myself an Uber from
• 10:20
  the brand new Kansas City
• 10:21
  airport to the Overland
• 10:24
  Park Convention Center
• 10:24
  where the Monster Games were being held.
• 10:26
  So get off the plane, get my bag,
• 10:28
  call for the Uber.
• 10:30
  Dude finally shows up.
• 10:32
  I say finally shows up
• 10:33
  because there's two lanes at the airport.
• 10:36
  There's one for if Scott was
• 10:38
  going to pick me up from
• 10:40
  the baggage claim.
• 10:41
  And there's another lane, separate lane,
• 10:43
  that's divided for buses, ride shares,
• 10:47
  taxis, what have you.
• 10:49
  So I'm there where I'm supposed to be.
• 10:53
  And oh boy,
• 10:54
  wheels up in this lane behind me.
• 10:57
  I got a message on my thing
• 10:58
  from Uber that said,
• 11:00
  Hey, man, I'm here.
• 11:01
  And I'm like, are you, though?
• 11:03
  Because I surely don't see you anywhere.
• 11:05
  And I had to turn around.
• 11:06
  I was like, oh,
• 11:08
  there's his orange Ford
• 11:10
  EcoBoost behind me.
• 11:10
  Let me go ahead and jump over there.
• 11:12
  So I jump across the median.
• 11:14
  He grabs my bag,
• 11:15
  throws it in the back of his car.
• 11:18
  And I didn't clock it at the time,
• 11:21
  but all four windows were
• 11:22
  down on his car.
• 11:26
  Now, compared to where I came from,
• 11:29
  Comparatively, comparatively speaking,
• 11:31
  it wasn't that hot.
• 11:34
  All right.
• 11:34
  I go to I get in the back seat,
• 11:36
  turns around or he gets in,
• 11:39
  reaches over into a cooler
• 11:41
  on the passenger seat,
• 11:41
  grabs a bottle of water.
• 11:44
  Out of the out of the cooler,
• 11:46
  which is cold,
• 11:47
  reaches back and hands it to me and says,
• 11:50
  hey, man,
• 11:50
  you're going to need this is a
• 11:53
  hot one today.
• 11:55
  And then rolled out with all
• 11:57
  four windows still down on the car.
• 12:01
  Thirty five minutes, Scott,
• 12:03
  on the interstate in
• 12:05
  probably ninety degree heat.
• 12:08
  And we were rolling like it
• 12:09
  was I was in high school in
• 12:10
  my truck back in nineteen ninety,
• 12:12
  nineteen ninety four.
• 12:14
  Once the air conditioning
• 12:15
  broke and I just rolled
• 12:15
  with the two windows down
• 12:16
  at the two fifty five air
• 12:17
  conditioner and did not
• 12:19
  address it the entire time.
• 12:23
  The upgraded four seventy air conditioner,
• 12:25
  though.
• 12:29
  He almost took a wrong turn
• 12:31
  down the off ramp to the interstate.
• 12:35
  When I say down the off ramp
• 12:36
  to the interstate, you know,
• 12:37
  if you cross over the
• 12:38
  interstate and then their
• 12:40
  off ramp is coming up.
• 12:43
  Once you get acclimated to
• 12:43
  heat for the comp.
• 12:44
  No, Kevin.
• 12:45
  Yeah.
• 12:47
  He's following ways or
• 12:49
  trying to follow ways to
• 12:50
  say to tell him to make a right.
• 12:51
  And he almost made a right
• 12:53
  onto the off ramp as in
• 12:56
  oncoming traffic to the
• 12:57
  point where I had to go, hey, man,
• 12:59
  you can't turn down there.
• 13:00
  He went, oh, shit.
• 13:02
  And then went a little bit
• 13:03
  further where we were
• 13:04
  actually supposed to turn.
• 13:06
  We got on the interstate at
• 13:09
  seventy miles an hour with
• 13:11
  all four windows down.
• 13:11
  Thank God it wasn't that bad, like hot,
• 13:14
  but never said anything.
• 13:17
  Hey,
• 13:17
  you want me to roll the windows up and
• 13:18
  turn this air on?
• 13:19
  Hey, sorry, my air, you know,
• 13:22
  the air in my car is broken.
• 13:24
  I got to get it fixed like
• 13:25
  tomorrow when I just went
• 13:26
  out earlier today, you know,
• 13:27
  when I woke up.
• 13:29
  Not a single word.
• 13:33
  Oh, Clarence, that was his name.
• 13:36
  informed me right before we
• 13:37
  got on the interstate that,
• 13:38
  because I asked him, I said,
• 13:39
  is it really thirty-five
• 13:40
  minutes from here to where we're going?
• 13:43
  And he's like, yeah, man,
• 13:44
  it looks like it.
• 13:45
  I could probably get us
• 13:46
  there a little faster if
• 13:48
  you're okay with some fast driving.
• 13:50
  I'm from New York City.
• 13:53
  And I went, hmm,
• 13:55
  how about we just get there?
• 13:57
  And he didn't say another
• 13:58
  word until we pulled up to the venue.
• 14:02
  Bro.
• 14:03
  Yeah,
• 14:03
  I've had some – I've actually had
• 14:06
  pretty good luck with Uber or Lyft.
• 14:12
  I've had worse luck with taxis.
• 14:14
  Up until that point,
• 14:16
  I've had a fantastic track
• 14:17
  record with Uber.
• 14:19
  Even when we were in Fort
• 14:22
  Wayne and there's only like
• 14:23
  five guys that drive for
• 14:24
  Uber in the entire town,
• 14:26
  and I know that because we
• 14:27
  got the same guy three
• 14:29
  different times in one day,
• 14:31
  those guys were still good.
• 14:33
  The dude that picked me up
• 14:34
  in Phoenix at the airport
• 14:37
  for Legends was awesome.
• 14:39
  We talked about baseball and
• 14:40
  football and whatnot the
• 14:41
  entire way there.
• 14:43
  This dude did not say a word.
• 14:46
  I was a little concerned
• 14:47
  because he handed me the bottle of water.
• 14:48
  There was already a bottle
• 14:49
  of water that was partially
• 14:50
  drank sitting in the pocket
• 14:53
  behind the seat.
• 14:57
  I'm sitting in the back.
• 14:59
  That was already half drunk,
• 15:00
  and I was like, cool.
• 15:03
  OK, that's a thing, I guess.
• 15:06
  And then we rolled out all
• 15:08
  the way there and wherever he's at,
• 15:10
  I hope he's doing OK.
• 15:11
  God bless him.
• 15:11
  I tipped him mostly because
• 15:13
  I didn't want him to hunt
• 15:14
  me down and stab me at any given point.
• 15:16
  But that was bizarre.
• 15:17
  Like, how are you not going to address it,
• 15:19
  Scott?
• 15:20
  It's a hundred degrees or ninety degrees,
• 15:22
  whatever.
• 15:24
  And you're just going to
• 15:24
  hand me a bottle of cold water.
• 15:26
  Here, man, you're going to need this.
• 15:28
  Hang tight.
• 15:29
  Let's go.
• 15:29
  I can drive fast if you want to.
• 15:31
  I'm like, no, let's not do that.
• 15:32
  Please, I do.
• 15:33
  Let's just get there safely.
• 15:35
  I want to address this.
• 15:37
  CrossFit said,
• 15:38
  where'd you get that games tee?
• 15:39
  People to Cairo, probably.
• 15:43
  Yeah, pretty much.
• 15:45
  Vendor Village.
• 15:46
  Pretty much.
• 15:47
  Vendor Village.
• 15:47
  Yeah, I picked one up early.
• 15:48
  I know somebody over there.
• 15:49
  They brought me one.
• 15:51
  All right,
• 15:52
  so you went to Monster Games
• 15:53
  last weekend.
• 15:54
  I did.
• 15:56
  Big competition in Missouri every year.
• 15:59
  Kind of the first form headquarters,
• 16:01
  am I right?
• 16:02
  I mean, first form was all over it.
• 16:04
  That is for certain.
• 16:05
  I don't know if that's where
• 16:06
  their stuff certainly is,
• 16:08
  but there was not a hundred
• 16:09
  athletes there.
• 16:11
  And we all got three first form shirts.
• 16:14
  And they had two separate
• 16:17
  first-form booths set up
• 16:19
  where they were handing out
• 16:20
  protein and their energy drinks.
• 16:25
  It was very,
• 16:26
  very similar to Legends as far
• 16:28
  as that kind of aspect is concerned.
• 16:32
  So you had a good weekend.
• 16:34
  Finished seventh.
• 16:35
  Finished seventh.
• 16:37
  Had two top-five finishes
• 16:39
  that both of them probably, if I...
• 16:44
  Once my mental game goes a
• 16:45
  little bit better, well, I say that.
• 16:47
  For one,
• 16:47
  I'm sure just believing in myself
• 16:49
  a little bit more.
• 16:50
  It's probably two first-place finishes.
• 16:52
  The second, fourth-place finish,
• 16:55
  I was on track to actually
• 16:56
  either win or come out
• 16:57
  second between me and my buddy Jason.
• 17:02
  I missed the bar muscle-up
• 17:04
  at the very end.
• 17:05
  Normally, nine times out of ten,
• 17:07
  I can tell if I'm fixing to fail one,
• 17:08
  and this one just hit me
• 17:09
  out of left field to a
• 17:10
  point where I did my fifth one.
• 17:13
  And I came back up to do the sixth one,
• 17:15
  and I got right here, and I went, oh, no.
• 17:21
  Like, I just knew it was happening.
• 17:22
  It felt like it was
• 17:23
  happening in slow motion.
• 17:24
  And it hit me like right here,
• 17:27
  and I just couldn't get all the way over.
• 17:31
  But, yeah, I mean, it was fun, dude.
• 17:35
  Well run, like the entire comp.
• 17:37
  Everything ran on time.
• 17:39
  They did have to pivot, so we had the –
• 17:43
  They called it Project One
• 17:45
  was the name of the actual workout,
• 17:46
  but it's basically a fake
• 17:47
  high rocks where we had to do a rut.
• 17:50
  We started with a ruck run
• 17:52
  and then did a sled drag, then a run,
• 17:55
  then a skier, then a run, then a lunge,
• 17:58
  and then ended on a run.
• 18:00
  And it was...
• 18:03
  it was going to be raining
• 18:05
  and possibly
• 18:05
  thunderstorming on Friday morning.
• 18:08
  And they were doing that in the pool,
• 18:10
  the swim event that the
• 18:10
  elites and the RX had kind
• 18:12
  of at the same time at the same place.
• 18:15
  And they didn't want that to
• 18:17
  end up like running super, super late.
• 18:19
  So they just switched
• 18:19
  everything from that was
• 18:20
  supposed to be Saturday and
• 18:21
  put Friday and put Fridays,
• 18:23
  everything on Saturday.
• 18:25
  But even that went relatively smooth.
• 18:27
  Like once everything got
• 18:27
  loaded back up on competition corner, um,
• 18:31
  The seating wasn't
• 18:32
  necessarily right again.
• 18:33
  So like I should have been
• 18:34
  in the second heat.
• 18:35
  I ended up in the first heat.
• 18:36
  People that were supposed to
• 18:37
  be like that kind of got messed up.
• 18:38
  But then once that day passed,
• 18:41
  it was fine.
• 18:42
  Like no big deal.
• 18:42
  Everybody got reseated on
• 18:44
  Saturday morning.
• 18:45
  That was supposed to be where it was.
• 18:49
  Ended right up.
• 18:51
  Or got there correctly,
• 18:52
  if that makes sense.
• 18:54
  Denise asks,
• 18:55
  did you like all the workouts?
• 18:57
  Aside from the...
• 19:01
  The wannabe high rocks thing, yes.
• 19:04
  And that's just me, personal preference.
• 19:06
  I used to be a really good runner,
• 19:07
  and I'm not a really good runner anymore.
• 19:10
  And I was telling one of my
• 19:12
  friends this morning,
• 19:13
  I told my buddy Gareth this
• 19:14
  over the weekend, like at one point,
• 19:17
  I really sounded,
• 19:20
  I really in my head was just thinking,
• 19:22
  I just don't want to be out here.
• 19:24
  I just don't want to be doing this.
• 19:25
  Like if I wanted to do a high rocks thing,
• 19:27
  I would go sign up for a High Rocks,
• 19:29
  like an actual High Rocks,
• 19:30
  which FYI are also inside,
• 19:33
  not on turf outside when it's, you know,
• 19:37
  ninety two, ninety three degrees.
• 19:38
  It was hot.
• 19:40
  You go look at their videos
• 19:42
  and whatnot that they're putting up.
• 19:43
  You see any of those from
• 19:44
  the outside event.
• 19:46
  You see people dumping water on them.
• 19:48
  You see volunteers dumping
• 19:49
  water on people that were
• 19:52
  participating and whatnot.
• 19:53
  It's because like it was
• 19:55
  It was pretty miserable on the field.
• 19:56
  Outside of it, like that turf,
• 19:59
  it holds heat.
• 20:00
  It holds heat pretty well.
• 20:04
  To fail sounds like Bobby
• 20:06
  Boucher doing CrossFit.
• 20:07
  I gave you that one, CrossFit.
• 20:11
  I gave you that one.
• 20:16
  But aside from that, all the rest of them.
• 20:20
  Speaking of Bobby Boucher,
• 20:21
  turf is the devil.
• 20:22
  Turf is the devil.
• 20:25
  Even in Wisconsin,
• 20:27
  that turf would get unbearably hot.
• 20:31
  I didn't know because I have
• 20:33
  spent this much time on turf.
• 20:40
  This first one,
• 20:41
  try to evangelize everyone.
• 20:45
  We did have a prayer before
• 20:48
  or at opening ceremonies.
• 20:50
  I will say that they did.
• 20:51
  Whoever was the people I was talking,
• 20:53
  we're talking about their faith.
• 20:55
  I'm a believer,
• 20:56
  so that doesn't bother me whatsoever.
• 20:58
  And I think if it bothers other people,
• 21:00
  then maybe you're in the
• 21:02
  wrong business because it's
• 21:03
  very easy to just not listen.
• 21:07
  Yeah, they're flying now, dude.
• 21:13
  Yeah, I see that.
• 21:14
  Anyway,
• 21:16
  always on grass with the wind is down.
• 21:18
  Yeah, more or less, dude.
• 21:22
  The other one,
• 21:23
  I won't say I didn't like it.
• 21:25
  I would say that,
• 21:27
  like I was telling you earlier,
• 21:28
  I had a really, really bad plan,
• 21:31
  and I executed it perfectly.
• 21:34
  And I got the exact results
• 21:35
  I should have gotten for
• 21:36
  having such a terrible plan.
• 21:38
  And that was the former
• 21:39
  carry slash gymnastics event.
• 21:43
  I was good right up until I wasn't.
• 21:45
  Once my grip went away,
• 21:47
  there was no coming back.
• 21:48
  My forearms are still...
• 21:50
  Like if I do that,
• 21:51
  this part right here and
• 21:53
  that part right here is still sore,
• 21:55
  like still hurts from that
• 21:57
  former carry one.
• 21:58
  And it's just because I
• 21:59
  didn't think I was going to
• 22:01
  have to break up the
• 22:02
  gymnastics as much as I should have.
• 22:05
  And it cost me big time.
• 22:08
  That was my accident.
• 22:10
  We had twenty people qualify,
• 22:11
  sixteen people showed up.
• 22:13
  I finished fifteenth on that one.
• 22:17
  Not great.
• 22:19
  Not a
• 22:21
  Not a great thing, but, I mean,
• 22:23
  it is what it is.
• 22:24
  I ain't that mad at it.
• 22:25
  All in all, dude, I had a blast.
• 22:28
  Brett Owsley, fellow Bears fan.
• 22:30
  I did monster games a few years ago,
• 22:32
  and my truck registered
• 22:33
  one-twelve degrees outside.
• 22:35
  Gets a little hot in those rhinos.
• 22:38
  We did a four-hundred-meter
• 22:40
  sprint into GHDs and
• 22:43
  sandbag cleans on the field.
• 22:47
  it's in a different spot now
• 22:48
  so all the that was the
• 22:50
  only outdoor event that we
• 22:51
  did um it used to be in
• 22:53
  joplin now it's uh
• 22:57
  reference I got it I missed
• 22:59
  that sorry brett um
• 23:03
  And now it's in Overland Park,
• 23:05
  the Overland Park Convention Center.
• 23:07
  So the only outdoor event we
• 23:09
  had was the fake high rocks and the,
• 23:14
  you know,
• 23:14
  Elites and RX had the swim rope climb one,
• 23:17
  which was wild, wild to go into here.
• 23:22
  Like,
• 23:22
  I knew a couple people that were in
• 23:26
  both Elite and RX, and they were like,
• 23:28
  dude,
• 23:28
  people are struggling to get a rope
• 23:30
  climb coming out of the pool once.
• 23:34
  I think it was four rounds
• 23:35
  or something like that five
• 23:36
  rounds whatever it was I
• 23:37
  was like wow okay you
• 23:40
  didn't get to do that one
• 23:41
  no old people did not get
• 23:43
  to swim so it was at uh
• 23:48
  like a jewish uh center
• 23:52
  type deal like a fitness I
• 23:54
  don't know what the I
• 23:55
  forget what exactly they
• 23:56
  call it but the pool they
• 23:58
  had was only eight lanes
• 24:01
  And they just weren't going
• 24:02
  to be able to run all of us through it.
• 24:04
  Like it just wasn't going to happen.
• 24:05
  Uh,
• 24:08
  so we got to do the project one thing
• 24:11
  instead.
• 24:12
  And like I was saying, dude, I just,
• 24:14
  I found myself out there
• 24:17
  just not wanting to be out
• 24:20
  there and doing it.
• 24:21
  Yes.
• 24:22
  Like a Jewish community
• 24:23
  center type deal across that.
• 24:24
  Yeah.
• 24:25
  It was, it was, it was a nice place,
• 24:27
  like really, really nice place.
• 24:32
  Yeah,
• 24:33
  so apparently where the ropes were on
• 24:36
  that end of the pool,
• 24:38
  me and one of my buddies,
• 24:40
  the guy that finished in
• 24:41
  third place in my division, Jason,
• 24:43
  was talking about it.
• 24:44
  We had talked to different people,
• 24:45
  and he said that he and I,
• 24:50
  we'd have had to go down to
• 24:51
  hit the bottom and jump off of it.
• 24:55
  to be able to grab onto the rope.
• 24:57
  The rope was hanging in the water,
• 24:58
  but like, I wouldn't be able to,
• 25:00
  I was either tread water or
• 25:01
  go down the bottom,
• 25:02
  try to spring off the top
• 25:03
  and then grab a hold and
• 25:04
  then see if you could do a climb.
• 25:07
  If you weren't so tall, you know,
• 25:09
  as tall as tall enough, I should say.
• 25:13
  So that probably hindered a lot of people,
• 25:14
  like just trying to get to
• 25:16
  the rope and then maybe see
• 25:18
  if they could just climb up it.
• 25:19
  Cause rope was already wet
• 25:21
  from being in the water.
• 25:22
  It had rained the day before
• 25:24
  and they were all just kind
• 25:24
  of sitting out there.
• 25:28
  that rope in the water thing
• 25:29
  is that's like second year
• 25:31
  they've done that oh I have
• 25:34
  no idea believe it or not
• 25:38
  not a clue I just uh I just
• 25:43
  know that it look it look fun but then
• 25:48
  And it was any kind of rope
• 25:49
  climb you wanted to do,
• 25:49
  but if you're in the pool
• 25:50
  and you don't have shoes on
• 25:52
  because you're swimming,
• 25:53
  nobody's trying to foot
• 25:54
  clamp a rope barefooted.
• 25:57
  That seems like a terrible idea.
• 26:03
  Try to find it.
• 26:04
  Yeah, at least a glimpse of it.
• 26:09
  One of the reels that they
• 26:10
  put up here recently has
• 26:12
  just a highlight of people coming up.
• 26:13
  Yep, there you go.
• 26:16
  But there you're in the
• 26:17
  water and there's a rope
• 26:18
  hanging above the water.
• 26:20
  Now they've passed that already.
• 26:21
  Yeah, it's pretty.
• 26:23
  They got quick cuts types of.
• 26:28
  That lady, Miss Karen, the head judge,
• 26:34
  her right there.
• 26:35
  Dude, she is awesome.
• 26:38
  She's OG.
• 26:39
  I used to judge with her.
• 26:40
  Oh, yeah.
• 26:43
  I saw her at the little
• 26:45
  after party they had Sunday night,
• 26:47
  and I went and thanked her,
• 26:48
  shook her hand,
• 26:49
  gave her a hug and whatnot.
• 26:50
  The first time I really
• 26:53
  encountered her was at Legends last year,
• 26:57
  and that was whenever she
• 26:58
  went and flew on to one of
• 27:01
  the other judges because
• 27:03
  instead of no repping them
• 27:05
  or the person in question or whatnot,
• 27:08
  she said, I told him to go lower.
• 27:12
  And she was like, you don't tell them.
• 27:14
  We watched her.
• 27:15
  I mean, it's a pretty serious competition.
• 27:20
  And I told her that.
• 27:21
  And I was like,
• 27:21
  I just want to thank y'all.
• 27:24
  I said, I couldn't do what you do.
• 27:25
  And I can't, dude.
• 27:26
  I am not a good judge at all.
• 27:30
  Not for something like that.
• 27:30
  Not having to do it all day long.
• 27:32
  Like for the Open, at my box,
• 27:34
  for people that I know doing semifinals,
• 27:37
  whatnot, sure.
• 27:38
  Absolutely.
• 27:39
  Absolutely.
• 27:41
  But for that,
• 27:42
  and having to do it all day
• 27:43
  and in multiple days, I'd lose my mind.
• 27:46
  There's no way.
• 27:50
  CrossFat just told the
• 27:52
  longest joke in podcast history.
• 27:58
  Yes, way back, like, ten minutes ago.
• 28:00
  Why are alligators so ornery?
• 28:03
  It was waiting for me to answer.
• 28:05
  Alligators are ornery
• 28:07
  because they got on them
• 28:09
  teeth and no toothbrush.
• 28:10
  No toothbrush.
• 28:16
  Yeah, so I'm actually...
• 28:21
  I'm working on possibly
• 28:22
  interviewing the AFJ at the
• 28:24
  games this week as one of the vignettes.
• 28:28
  And I want to dive into like,
• 28:31
  how do you recruit new
• 28:32
  people to do this with all
• 28:36
  of the criticism and all of the,
• 28:39
  especially now, right?
• 28:41
  How do you get new people to
• 28:43
  want to come on and volunteer for this?
• 28:48
  I was, I hope you get to, I really,
• 28:51
  cause I would love to know
• 28:52
  the answer to that question.
• 28:53
  That is, that's, that's,
• 28:55
  that's an excellent.
• 28:56
  I also want to ask them
• 28:57
  about how can you keep
• 28:59
  stepping on your own toes,
• 29:01
  trying to get this thing launched?
• 29:02
  Like a couple of careless errors, man.
• 29:05
  And you're like starting at
• 29:06
  squares square one again.
• 29:09
  And it's.
• 29:14
  For them,
• 29:15
  what seems like something that
• 29:16
  might be kind of small and
• 29:17
  overlooked ends up blowing
• 29:19
  up in their face like horribly.
• 29:22
  Like the thing at Mayhem, dude,
• 29:23
  like that was a big deal.
• 29:25
  That's people going to the games.
• 29:27
  That's not just, you know,
• 29:29
  and I understand nobody
• 29:30
  gives a damn about us Masters athletes.
• 29:31
  I get that, but we do.
• 29:34
  You know?
• 29:35
  We damn sure care about it.
• 29:37
  So for something to blow up like that,
• 29:39
  like I said, dude,
• 29:40
  something that was easily overlooked,
• 29:42
  easily missed, whatever the case may be.
• 29:43
  And yeah,
• 29:44
  how do you keep going after that?
• 29:46
  That would be a fantastic interview.
• 29:49
  My boy Brett here was
• 29:50
  affected by that whole thing at Mayhem.
• 29:55
  So like it's real.
• 29:58
  So we're in talks.
• 30:01
  We'll see what happens.
• 30:02
  Hopefully we can get
• 30:03
  something put together.
• 30:05
  Speaking of which,
• 30:06
  aside from me failing a bar
• 30:08
  muscle-up and failing a handstand walk,
• 30:13
  I move well.
• 30:14
  It's got no no reps the rest of the time.
• 30:19
  No burpees, no squat depth,
• 30:21
  no none of that.
• 30:23
  Failed bar muscle-up, which, yeah,
• 30:25
  obviously.
• 30:25
  Even pull-ups, total bar, all of that,
• 30:27
  good to go the entire time.
• 30:29
  Pretty excited about that
• 30:30
  because that means I'm
• 30:31
  moving like I'm supposed to.
• 30:33
  I like this.
• 30:34
  I need to check this out.
• 30:35
  I have not.
• 30:36
  Speaking of no reps,
• 30:38
  anyone see WOD Science
• 30:39
  video on the difference in
• 30:40
  energy expended doing a no
• 30:42
  rep wall ball versus real wall balls?
• 30:44
  Pretty interesting.
• 30:46
  Basically says no reppers are cheating.
• 30:48
  And that's, I think,
• 30:50
  what Hiller's been pushing.
• 30:52
  These people that get away
• 30:53
  with like the GHD.
• 30:57
  If you're in front of the GHD,
• 30:59
  it is so much easier than
• 31:00
  being on the back of the GHD.
• 31:04
  just have to come up with
• 31:05
  which I think the syndicate
• 31:07
  crown did a great job of
• 31:08
  the line that was perfect
• 31:12
  um so uh good lord under
• 31:19
  the man's name jr jr credit
• 31:22
  jr for that um just
• 31:24
  simplifying it and going
• 31:25
  look hey I'm gonna put a
• 31:26
  line right here you need to
• 31:28
  be on this side of it
• 31:30
  Well,
• 31:30
  and even like the muscle up not
• 31:32
  having to come to full lockout,
• 31:34
  like when you're throwing
• 31:35
  yourself away backwards or whatever,
• 31:38
  like it's huge.
• 31:41
  The energy expended is huge.
• 31:44
  Yeah.
• 31:46
  I'm going to test that just
• 31:47
  knowing that like when I
• 31:49
  first started doing muscle
• 31:50
  ups and when I actually
• 31:50
  started getting better at them,
• 31:52
  when my form started
• 31:52
  getting better and having
• 31:53
  to go looking back at the
• 31:55
  videos of me doing them and going,
• 31:58
  I need to make sure that
• 31:59
  I'm here before I come here
• 32:03
  because I don't need to
• 32:05
  waste that energy.
• 32:05
  First of all,
• 32:06
  getting no rep to any
• 32:07
  competition and having to go do it again.
• 32:11
  But oh my God,
• 32:12
  the difference that it makes between
• 32:14
  just trying to do them so
• 32:16
  fluid to take a half an
• 32:17
  extra half a second, whatever it is,
• 32:19
  and make sure you're good.
• 32:20
  And then now you've got to
• 32:21
  go back and do it again.
• 32:22
  It's not the same workout.
• 32:24
  And less cycle time, obviously.
• 32:25
  Yes.
• 32:27
  One hundred percent.
• 32:29
  One hundred percent.
• 32:30
  A couple of things I wanted
• 32:31
  to touch on before they
• 32:32
  announced event nine and
• 32:34
  we'll go live with that.
• 32:36
  Yep.
• 32:36
  Is first of all, thank you, Ani Shoup,
• 32:40
  a new member, super stoked about that.
• 32:44
  We've been killing it on the
• 32:45
  memberships over the last little bit.
• 32:52
  And Denise Moore,
• 32:54
  ten dollars for snacks for the trip.
• 32:57
  Here we go.
• 32:58
  Denise, you're the best.
• 33:00
  Thank you.
• 33:01
  Super important.
• 33:01
  All right.
• 33:03
  So Pedro put an article out
• 33:08
  in Barbell Spin about media.
• 33:11
  Is it toxic or not?
• 33:15
  need to read the whole thing
• 33:16
  I didn't have a chance to
• 33:17
  yesterday because I thought
• 33:18
  but I saw the I saw it I
• 33:20
  saw I guess saw instagram
• 33:21
  whatever like what the
• 33:22
  title was and whatnot and
• 33:24
  and knowing not that I know
• 33:26
  I have many conversations
• 33:28
  with pedro but I'm willing
• 33:29
  to bet I can almost recite
• 33:31
  what that what that's about
• 33:35
  well basically what it says
• 33:36
  is he basically
• 33:41
  touts all the the coverage
• 33:44
  that their crew does
• 33:46
  between savon hiller him
• 33:50
  and the barbell spin it
• 33:52
  gets you your news it gets
• 33:54
  your athlete interviews it
• 33:55
  gets you your um
• 33:58
  maintaining integrity in
• 34:00
  the sport it gets your day
• 34:02
  in the life's it covers
• 34:04
  programming cover I mean pick a thing
• 34:07
  but he said with all of the
• 34:09
  media out there in this space,
• 34:12
  if you want tactical games,
• 34:14
  you have an option.
• 34:15
  If you want straight down,
• 34:18
  just not really huge opinions, but just,
• 34:22
  but you have that available to you.
• 34:24
  If you have,
• 34:26
  and it basically like
• 34:27
  everything that you would
• 34:28
  want is available to you in this,
• 34:30
  in this space,
• 34:32
  it's up to you to choose
• 34:34
  who to turn on and who to turn off.
• 34:35
  Yeah.
• 34:36
  And that has always been my belief.
• 34:39
  When I grew up,
• 34:40
  we had a channel flipper
• 34:42
  that you would flip through the channels.
• 34:43
  We didn't stream back then.
• 34:45
  And you would go through the channels.
• 34:47
  If something was on,
• 34:47
  I didn't like you turn the channel.
• 34:50
  It's not that hard to do.
• 34:53
  Right.
• 34:53
  But we're in a society and
• 34:55
  it's been this way for a long time.
• 34:56
  It's just more pronounced
• 34:58
  now because everybody has a
• 35:00
  vehicle to speak and
• 35:03
  In the Howard Stern movie,
• 35:05
  it said the people that
• 35:06
  loved Howard Stern listened
• 35:08
  to him for an hour a day.
• 35:10
  The people that hated Howard
• 35:11
  Stern listened for two.
• 35:15
  Because they were looking
• 35:16
  for something to complain about.
• 35:20
  I don't know when we became,
• 35:22
  at what point in society we
• 35:23
  became a nation of
• 35:25
  complainers or almost a
• 35:27
  damn planet full of them.
• 35:28
  It blows my absolute mind.
• 35:30
  If I see something I don't like,
• 35:32
  I just don't look at it anymore.
• 35:34
  It's not that hard to do.
• 35:35
  It doesn't bother me that it exists.
• 35:39
  Right.
• 35:41
  I can just move on with my day.
• 35:44
  Like, oh, that's dumb.
• 35:46
  I'm not watching that again.
• 35:48
  This perfect example right here.
• 35:50
  And now he's not.
• 35:52
  Yeah.
• 35:52
  Yeah.
• 35:52
  Here's what I'll say about Howard Stern.
• 35:56
  As an interviewer, he is very, very good.
• 36:00
  Oh yeah.
• 36:01
  When,
• 36:02
  and so what I do is I curate his
• 36:04
  YouTube interviews because
• 36:07
  I try to learn.
• 36:08
  Yeah.
• 36:09
  I think he is so good at
• 36:11
  asking the question into
• 36:12
  the followup question that
• 36:15
  Now, the rest of the stuff,
• 36:17
  I'm too old for that shit now.
• 36:20
  You were probably too old
• 36:21
  for it when you first started doing it,
• 36:23
  so it's fine.
• 36:24
  But as an interviewer, he is very good,
• 36:27
  and he's somebody that I can learn from.
• 36:30
  Sure.
• 36:31
  And that's just me.
• 36:32
  That's just a peek behind the curtain.
• 36:34
  I listen to people that help
• 36:35
  me get better at what I'm trying to do.
• 36:39
  Scott, when I...
• 36:42
  We've had a discussion before,
• 36:44
  and you're the same way.
• 36:45
  I don't like horror movies.
• 36:46
  Not a fan.
• 36:47
  Never have been, right?
• 36:51
  A very long time ago,
• 36:52
  my now ex-wife talked me into watching,
• 36:56
  what was it?
• 37:00
  The Ring, okay?
• 37:03
  Just her and I. My oldest was asleep.
• 37:06
  Turn off all lights in the house.
• 37:07
  We're going to sit here and
• 37:07
  watch her and watch this scary movie.
• 37:10
  About halfway through,
• 37:11
  I looked at her and I said,
• 37:12
  we can turn this off
• 37:13
  whenever you feel the need to.
• 37:16
  Because I was done with it.
• 37:17
  And it's the same thing if I
• 37:20
  start watching somebody's podcast,
• 37:23
  somebody's recording of a podcast,
• 37:24
  somebody's content,
• 37:27
  I can get five minutes into
• 37:29
  it and decide whether or
• 37:30
  not I want to watch it or not.
• 37:33
  And if Scott wants to watch it,
• 37:36
  Good for Scott.
• 37:37
  I'm not going to.
• 37:39
  And it's not going to get
• 37:40
  any more of my time or attention.
• 37:42
  Why?
• 37:43
  Because I have free will.
• 37:45
  And because I don't let
• 37:46
  things bother me that are
• 37:48
  beyond my level of control.
• 37:52
  I can turn it off, dude.
• 37:54
  Real easy.
• 37:54
  Look, click, done.
• 37:56
  Moving on to the next thing.
• 37:57
  I'm going to go watch
• 37:58
  something that I want to watch.
• 38:02
  You son of a bitch.
• 38:06
  I listen to Imus.
• 38:07
  He's that old.
• 38:09
  Oh, Don Imus.
• 38:11
  I know who he is, is I'm that old.
• 38:14
  Yeah.
• 38:16
  So I know who Don Imus is.
• 38:17
  Just to let you know,
• 38:18
  I didn't even listen to Stern back then.
• 38:21
  I grew up in such a rural area.
• 38:23
  We didn't have a lot of
• 38:24
  options for our entertainment back then.
• 38:28
  We were very much like,
• 38:30
  I grew up in the woods.
• 38:32
  I had one TV channel.
• 38:35
  And I had limited radio.
• 38:37
  So you got what you got.
• 38:39
  And maybe that's why I
• 38:40
  believe that choices are good.
• 38:43
  And you just choose what you
• 38:45
  want to watch or what you
• 38:46
  don't want to watch, right?
• 38:48
  Because I grew up, I didn't have choice.
• 38:52
  Yeah, I'm glad people have choices.
• 38:54
  I've seen more episodes of
• 38:56
  Gunsmoke because it was my only option.
• 39:01
  Dude, when I would come home,
• 39:03
  go to my grandma's house,
• 39:05
  she had twelve channels.
• 39:07
  Whereas at my mom's house, we had three.
• 39:10
  So TBS was normally what I would turn on.
• 39:13
  And guess what was on when I
• 39:14
  got home from school?
• 39:16
  The Brady Bunch.
• 39:18
  And there's a reruns of the Brady Bunch.
• 39:20
  Oh, yeah.
• 39:22
  I wasn't watching the original Gunsmoke,
• 39:24
  dude.
• 39:24
  Correct.
• 39:26
  That's what I'm talking about.
• 39:27
  But that's what was on.
• 39:29
  So if I wanted to watch something,
• 39:31
  it was that or Andy Griffith.
• 39:36
  God forbid I was home during the day,
• 39:38
  Matlock.
• 39:40
  you know, whatever the case may be.
• 39:42
  Cause we didn't have it.
• 39:43
  We have everything.
• 39:44
  And as society has progressed,
• 39:46
  you've got more choices to
• 39:47
  turn stuff on or turn stuff
• 39:49
  off or just change the damn channel.
• 39:52
  And the fact that people
• 39:53
  can't do that and instead
• 39:54
  insist that it shouldn't
• 39:55
  even exist because I don't
• 39:57
  like it is such a backward
• 40:01
  way of thinking to me that
• 40:02
  blows my mind completely.
• 40:08
  Um, um,
• 40:12
  I want to get to this last
• 40:13
  thing real quick because
• 40:18
  WFP did put out a new
• 40:20
  Unbreakable episode.
• 40:21
  Okay.
• 40:23
  James Sprague.
• 40:25
  It's a little over thirty minutes.
• 40:29
  What I'm going to say is it
• 40:32
  is one of the best ones I've done.
• 40:35
  It actually was very touching.
• 40:37
  It was endearing.
• 40:39
  It made me like James even more.
• 40:40
  And it went all the way back
• 40:43
  to his childhood where he
• 40:44
  fought being overweight and
• 40:47
  not fitting in all the way
• 40:49
  to where we are today, right?
• 40:51
  Great, great episode.
• 40:55
  Why in the hell do you
• 40:57
  release it Games Week?
• 41:02
  You had four months of nothing.
• 41:09
  Maybe three months of nothing.
• 41:10
  Okay.
• 41:10
  Maybe I'm overstating it.
• 41:12
  I would say three months.
• 41:15
  But we, I mean, you definitely,
• 41:17
  and you know, it happens every year.
• 41:18
  There's always a drought
• 41:19
  where there's nothing
• 41:20
  coming up because there's
• 41:20
  nothing really happening.
• 41:24
  And you wait till four days
• 41:26
  before the CrossFit games to put it out.
• 41:38
  So now it's a mixed message, right?
• 41:41
  Yeah.
• 41:42
  James is the defending
• 41:43
  fittest man on earth.
• 41:45
  You're putting out a video
• 41:46
  four days before your competitors,
• 41:49
  big event where he is one
• 41:51
  of the favorites to podium, if not win.
• 41:54
  And now it's a mixed message.
• 41:56
  If I'm watching this other
• 41:58
  than the WFP logo at the very beginning,
• 42:01
  I don't know.
• 42:01
  It's WFP.
• 42:02
  No, no,
• 42:06
  Are you promoting CrossFit?
• 42:08
  Are you promoting WFP?
• 42:11
  So this goes back to what I
• 42:13
  was complaining about last week.
• 42:15
  The strategy,
• 42:16
  the promises of the content
• 42:19
  and what they're trying to
• 42:20
  do have no freaking plan.
• 42:26
  And they are executing the new plan.
• 42:30
  They had a shitty plan and
• 42:32
  are executing it perfectly.
• 42:34
  Executing it perfectly.
• 42:39
  I think, yeah.
• 42:43
  Yep, that one right there.
• 42:44
  Hoping for push-through
• 42:45
  suggestions and autoplay views.
• 42:48
  Then put your freaking logo on it.
• 42:50
  In the corner.
• 42:52
  Something.
• 42:54
  It shows up at the very beginning.
• 42:56
  And at the end,
• 42:57
  it doesn't say WFP production.
• 42:59
  It says Buttery Bros production.
• 43:02
  But it's on WFP's channel?
• 43:04
  Correct.
• 43:08
  That's a three-card money deal.
• 43:13
  That's a moving the cups type deal.
• 43:16
  Hey, where's the ball at?
• 43:18
  Where's the ball at?
• 43:18
  Where's the ball at?
• 43:19
  Oh, it's right here.
• 43:20
  No, it's not.
• 43:22
  That's interesting, dude.
• 43:24
  That is interesting.
• 43:25
  I didn't get to see anything this weekend,
• 43:27
  obviously,
• 43:27
  because I was busy running
• 43:29
  around freaking Kansas City.
• 43:32
  That's because they're too
• 43:32
  busy tanning on the beach.
• 43:39
  All right, guys.
• 43:42
  They are live.
• 43:46
  Pull it up.
• 43:47
  Let's see.
• 43:48
  Shell game.
• 43:49
  Thanks, CrossFat.
• 43:50
  That's what I was trying to remember.
• 44:31
  We are looking live in Albany,
• 44:33
  New York at the CrossFit Games.
• 44:37
  Announcement for event number nine.
• 44:40
  With the demo team.
• 44:47
  I was looking majestic.
• 44:48
  I like that blue CrossFit shirt.
• 44:49
  That's nice.
• 44:58
  This is Instagram live CrossFit games.
• 45:03
  Moyo.
• 45:04
  Moyo.
• 45:04
  Moyo.
• 45:26
  Maybe don't go live until
• 45:29
  you're ready to make the announcement.
• 45:30
  You're actually ready to go?
• 45:33
  Yeah.
• 45:34
  Don't round that parade, Scott.
• 45:41
  Oh, I forgot.
• 45:42
  Now that I have an enhanced access,
• 45:43
  I'm not allowed to be
• 45:44
  critical of CrossFit.
• 45:46
  Welcome, everybody,
• 45:47
  to the live announcement of
• 45:49
  individual event number
• 45:52
  nine coming your way
• 45:53
  directly from the MVP Arena
• 45:55
  competition floor.
• 45:56
  We've got the demo team ready,
• 45:58
  and they're going to hit this in.
• 46:00
  Thirty seconds.
• 46:02
  You guys will be the first to see it.
• 46:06
  All right.
• 46:10
  Team, starting in three, two, one, go.
• 46:18
  Can we get out of the way, boss?
• 46:20
  Number nine is five rounds, four times.
• 46:25
  Start with a two hundred
• 46:26
  foot run and follow that
• 46:29
  with six snatches.
• 46:32
  The men are going to use one
• 46:33
  hundred and fifty five pounds.
• 46:49
  Looks like a
• 46:49
  two-hundred-foot run after the snatches.
• 47:04
  Yep.
• 47:04
  Now we're back on more snatches.
• 47:12
  That's it?
• 47:12
  Five rounds?
• 47:14
  Two-hundred-foot run and six snatches?
• 47:16
  Bruh.
• 47:20
  That's going to be quick, dude.
• 47:32
  Is that the whole thing?
• 47:34
  Surely there's more.
• 47:36
  Don't call me Shirley, Lito.
• 48:15
  Is that the whole thing?
• 48:26
  So just so you guys know,
• 48:28
  my Get Jazzed sticker is in today.
• 48:31
  So I'll have them with me this week.
• 48:33
  Come say hi.
• 48:35
  You can get a Get Jazzed sticker.
• 48:42
  And the feed died.
• 48:43
  I say the internet's working
• 48:45
  pretty good up there.
• 48:49
  If you didn't see,
• 48:50
  the barbell spin did
• 48:50
  announce there are ten scored events.
• 48:54
  Ten scored events.
• 48:56
  There is a back-to-backer event,
• 48:58
  I think it's six and seven
• 48:59
  on Saturday night.
• 49:02
  And then you go eight, nine,
• 49:04
  and ten on Sunday.
• 49:07
  So this is just a flat sprint, Dean?
• 49:12
  Well, we think so.
• 49:15
  I mean, from what we've seen of it so far.
• 49:17
  The feed is dead.
• 49:21
  Dave's giving away yet another event.
• 49:24
  So much for the unknown and unknowable.
• 49:26
  Seems like the PFAA and the athletes won.
• 49:28
  Come on, man.
• 49:29
  I wouldn't say giving away
• 49:30
  another event on Tuesday,
• 49:33
  especially not this,
• 49:34
  is going to make a huge
• 49:35
  difference for whenever this happens.
• 49:37
  I mean, and it ended.
• 49:44
  Dude.
• 49:49
  Setting it up to you for a
• 49:50
  knockout of the park.
• 49:53
  I'm assuming he means a home run.
• 49:58
  Yeah.
• 49:59
  It was a wreck and five deadlifts.
• 50:07
  Yeah, I remember that one.
• 50:14
  That run was a lot longer.
• 50:16
  Yeah.
• 50:20
  But either way, dude, what was that,
• 50:23
  six rounds?
• 50:25
  Yep, six rounds.
• 50:27
  So,
• 50:27
  twelve hundred meter run or twenty
• 50:29
  snatches.
• 50:32
  Dude.
• 50:33
  Another form of Isabel?
• 50:36
  Yep, I got running Isabel.
• 50:38
  Couple extra reps.
• 50:39
  Alright, well there you have it.
• 50:44
  Stickers are going to be
• 50:44
  available this week.
• 50:46
  I hate to run,
• 50:47
  but I did go over to be able to show that
• 50:50
  tantalizing event I am so
• 50:53
