- 2:17been around for like a little over two
- 2:19years maybe three years i don't know um
- 2:22it's like a kind of seafoodish sandwich
- 2:24type i mean they like fish and chips
- 2:26shrimp crab cakes they were out of crab
- 2:29cakes they're actually out of quite a few
- 2:31things um
- 2:33I just got a burger.
- 2:35Lucas got the fish and the like half
- 2:38shrimp and fish and chips.
- 2:41I think everyone else got burgers.
- 2:42I love fish and chips.
- 2:44I like fish and chips too.
- 2:45This was a little greasy today.
- 2:46It was like, yeah, I know.
- 2:50I can't do fried fish.
- 2:53Can't do fried fish ever.
- 2:55Yeah.
- 2:56When I go to Old Bag Nails,
- 2:57they have like a grilled blackened.
- 2:59That's what I asked Lucas to get.
- 3:00I was like, get the grilled.
- 3:02He's like, oh, I'm fried.
- 3:04Yeah,
- 3:04the grilled blackened is so good there.
- 3:06We used to have work meetings there,
- 3:08so I got like really burnt out on
- 3:10Old Bag.
- 3:10Okay.
- 3:12But their stuff's really good.
- 3:14Yeah.
- 3:15When I was knee deep in the weight
- 3:16loss, it was grilled fish,
- 3:18double broccoli.
- 3:20That was my dinner every time there.
- 3:25CrossFit says fittest master's librarian.
- 3:28I think he's referring to Jamie's
- 3:29cardigan.
- 3:30Oh, come on.
- 3:31I don't even have glasses on or anything.
- 3:35Yeah.
- 3:35I had to have like,
- 3:36I'm always cold in restaurants,
- 3:37so I always have to take a sweater.
- 3:38I have, I have my,
- 3:40that'd be better guys.
- 3:44Uh, uh, uh, yes.
- 3:46Inland seafood, some Lansing river fish.
- 3:50That's what you want to be eating.
- 3:53I love river trout like so much.
- 3:56My wife will not,
- 3:59not let us do it.
- 4:02Now, I won't go lake, like lake,
- 4:05especially Lake Erie.
- 4:06Lake Erie, no.
- 4:07No, thank you.
- 4:08Yeah, like Torch Lake fish,
- 4:12Lake Michigan fish, totally fine.
- 4:15Yeah, most likely.
- 4:16Lake Erie, not good.
- 4:19Yeah.
- 4:19Your lake is much more pretty than ours.
- 4:21Yeah.
- 4:22And then Carolyn's on the other side of
- 4:24Ontario.
- 4:24So we've got three of the great lakes
- 4:27covered on this podcast.
- 4:30Ontario's massive.
- 4:33When I went to Toronto and I went
- 4:34to the beach,
- 4:35I could not believe how huge and mammoth
- 4:40that lake is.
- 4:43Not the cleanest water,
- 4:44but it depends where you are.
- 4:47Erie used to be clean until the Canadians
- 4:50started dumping stuff and it leaked south.
- 4:55Dirty Ryan Canadians.
- 4:57Just kidding.
- 4:58I like Lake Huron where I grew up
- 4:59in Sarnia.
- 5:02Oh,
- 5:02now we got four of the five Great
- 5:04Lakes.
- 5:07Nice.
- 5:09I saw this today.
- 5:11I don't know if you guys have seen
- 5:12this.
- 5:16I love the athleticism of what Carolyn is
- 5:18doing here.
- 5:20But my favorite part is the inner dialogue
- 5:24that she typed out for the caption.
- 5:28And so if you haven't seen this,
- 5:30they're one-legged box clear overs.
- 5:37My head told me I have three competitions
- 5:39coming up and to be smart.
- 5:42It's important to listen to that quiet
- 5:45voice and know when to test challenge
- 5:47yourself and when to back off.
- 5:50I was very confident I could do this
- 5:52one.
- 5:53And this one was easy, an easy try.
- 5:56I'm not confident I could do it at
- 5:57thirty inches.
- 6:00And so she actually stopped herself from
- 6:02doing this at thirty inches.
- 6:06It's not the thirty inch that's like
- 6:08that's the tricky part,
- 6:10like I think I've done a single leg
- 6:12at thirty six inch before.
- 6:14It's the clearing my butt.
- 6:16That's the hard part,
- 6:17like going over and like trying to get
- 6:20the butt out of the way.
- 6:22That's the hard part.
- 6:23Yeah, but you're going the long way here.
- 6:25I feel like with the thirty.
- 6:26I know.
- 6:27I did that on purpose.
- 6:28The other way was easier.
- 6:30I was just trying to challenge myself with
- 6:31distance.
- 6:32I can't even clear this two-footed.
- 6:38This is insane.
- 6:40I was like,
- 6:40on my bike intervals in the boxes there.
- 6:42And like, I'm like, Hmm,
- 6:44I wonder if I can just clear that
- 6:45with one leg.
- 6:46Like,
- 6:46that's just like the thought that I had
- 6:47as I was biking.
- 6:48So then after I was done,
- 6:51I was like,
- 6:51Let me see if I can do it.
- 6:53I started I started with and height but
- 6:57for the right, right.
- 7:01And then I just flipped it.
- 7:02Okay, got it.
- 7:04Andrew Sten says is your butt going to
- 7:06be lower than your foot?
- 7:09I don't think she's worried about the
- 7:10height.
- 7:10I think it's the length.
- 7:12It's all the way down.
- 7:14It's not just jumping thirty inches.
- 7:15You have to jump much more than that
- 7:17to buy yourself distance.
- 7:20And then as you land,
- 7:21your butt can clip the top of the
- 7:24box on the other side.
- 7:28I'd be okay with that.
- 7:29That's the only thing I'd be okay with
- 7:30clipping.
- 7:31I would fall going over though.
- 7:33Uh, you get the, the, uh, I mean,
- 7:37that's why I always use the red box.
- 7:39Cause that one's nice and soft.
- 7:40Like it's heavy enough that it doesn't
- 7:41move, but like, I don't feel as scared.
- 7:44Some of the hurdle stuff that I do,
- 7:46that's a little bit more scary.
- 7:48Cause depending on what side I'm jumping
- 7:49on the hurdle, I could,
- 7:51I've taken a just once in my career.
- 7:53I took a good fall.
- 7:56Matt Sousa,
- 7:57my ego says I can do that,
- 7:58but reality might have another opinion.
- 8:02Yeah.
- 8:03CrossFit says Carolyn would certainly win
- 8:06the John Wood CrossFit Games.
- 8:07Every time I hear him talk, I'm like,
- 8:09oh, yeah,
- 8:09this is exactly what Carolyn does.
- 8:10He is speaking to my heart.
- 8:15I agree with everything he says about it.
- 8:18We have that on our agenda to talk
- 8:21about tonight.
- 8:21We'll dive much further into that than
- 8:24just Carolyn doing single leg box jump
- 8:27overs.
- 8:29Why not?
- 8:30I just picked up some mini hurdles.
- 8:34They're plastic and you can step on them
- 8:36and they'll like collapse.
- 8:37Maybe I'll start with those like twelve
- 8:39inches and see if I can clear that.
- 8:41I saw some that if you can like
- 8:42run through it like it is nice and
- 8:45soft.
- 8:45Yeah, that's what I got them for.
- 8:47Yep.
- 8:47To start.
- 8:48Mine are really like the ones that we
- 8:50have at our gym are hard.
- 8:53Um, but like, I don't like only doing,
- 8:56um, linear,
- 8:57like today I should have also done lateral
- 9:00as well.
- 9:01Cause I like working on both, um,
- 9:03like linear and lateral jumping with one
- 9:05and two feet, but I skipped that today.
- 9:08Uh, I'm in the Vicki camp.
- 9:10I'd clip my toe and end up rolling
- 9:11off toward forwards.
- 9:13Yeah.
- 9:13Same.
- 9:15Well, you can start jumping over a plate,
- 9:17you know?
- 9:20So Anita says,
- 9:22do you think a movement like this has
- 9:24a place at the games?
- 9:30I mean,
- 9:30I don't think it needs to be three
- 9:31inches on the like width part,
- 9:34but I think you could do a triple
- 9:37broad jump.
- 9:38I love a triple broad jump.
- 9:42I liked the hurdle jump that they did
- 9:47at Wadapalooza a few years ago.
- 9:50Oh, you remember?
- 9:51Oh, the overs?
- 9:52Yeah.
- 9:52I like those.
- 9:53Yeah.
- 9:53I like that.
- 9:53Like, I think that was athletic.
- 9:56Mm-hmm.
- 9:57I remember the OC throwdown hurdles.
- 10:00Yeah, where everybody died.
- 10:03Not really,
- 10:03but it's like they had them set up
- 10:06backwards.
- 10:08Because you know, like on a track,
- 10:09a hurdle will fall forward if you clip
- 10:12it.
- 10:13I think they had them set up backwards
- 10:15where people were hitting them,
- 10:16and then they weren't falling over.
- 10:18The person was falling over.
- 10:21If I remember it vividly,
- 10:23which I think I do.
- 10:27Oh.
- 10:28But I think they could do...
- 10:31like a triple jump a broad jump a
- 10:34vertical like the the hit stuff um like
- 10:40that kind of ice a five ten agility
- 10:42a forty yard dash like all of that
- 10:44stuff is fair game but we can talk
- 10:46about it later but uh the year after
- 10:48someone cracked a tailbone though it was
- 10:50on concrete that's just silly
- 10:54We've done legless rope climbs on
- 10:56concrete.
- 10:56I think that legless rope climbs should
- 10:59have a mat underneath.
- 11:03The Time Machine Nerd was there.
- 11:06And the first Kenny Leverage won that
- 11:10year.
- 11:11Time Machine.
- 11:14Time Machine Nerd,
- 11:15were you there competing or were you there
- 11:17spectating?
- 11:21All I got is that he was there.
- 11:29hunting cardio bunnies Larry Young regular
- 11:32triple jump would be great all I hear
- 11:37is future iteration what the heck oh that
- 11:39was me all I hear is future iteration
- 11:44I hear burpee single leg box get overs
- 11:46no come on is this what you had
- 11:50up no
- 11:51Now the NorCal one.
- 11:53That one was a double jump,
- 11:55not a triple.
- 11:55And we had to pause in between both.
- 11:58I would actually prefer,
- 12:00I think it's more athletic to go like
- 12:01if you can actually rebound and go your
- 12:03double or your triple and then you stop
- 12:06at your last one.
- 12:09But I love that event at NorCal.
- 12:11And even though I'm small,
- 12:14I think I won that event.
- 12:15It was a fun one.
- 12:19so we don't know who the time machine
- 12:20nerd is but they were there with carolyn
- 12:22twenty twenty four double yeah all right
- 12:27before we get dive too far in this
- 12:28we actually have this on the docket for
- 12:30tonight um i had i had a wild
- 12:33weekend it was my my wife went to
- 12:36pennsylvania to hang out with her parents
- 12:39i worked on the hattie canyo documentary
- 12:41for
- 12:43So long yesterday.
- 12:44But the only thing that's missing is the
- 12:47last episode.
- 12:48So the episode three will be out tomorrow
- 12:50at one.
- 12:52Episode four is all done.
- 12:55But I found out that my videographer did
- 12:56not dump the videos into the folder.
- 12:59So we are negotiating this to get those
- 13:02in.
- 13:02The rest of it is all done.
- 13:03All I have to do is insert the
- 13:05workout montage and it'll be done.
- 13:08And the last one is done.
- 13:11it's it's really really good i watched one
- 13:14this weekend you did a really good job
- 13:15with it i don't know which one it
- 13:17was uh so there's two episodes out now
- 13:24one and two one is like thirty minutes
- 13:26and it's before the games episode two is
- 13:28the first day of the games that's the
- 13:30one i watched episode two episode three is
- 13:33day two at the games that's tomorrow at
- 13:35one okay
- 13:37And then episode four is day three.
- 13:39And both Hattie and Tristan hung out with
- 13:44me Monday morning after the games and we
- 13:45talked.
- 13:47And a lot of the fourth episode is
- 13:50that kind of recapping the games.
- 13:53And then slightly into the two months into
- 13:57the future when something happens.
- 14:01So there's that.
- 14:03And now I'm trying to figure out what
- 14:04I want to do this year.
- 14:07And I watched the movie Christie this
- 14:09weekend.
- 14:10Christie?
- 14:10Yeah, about Christie Martin,
- 14:13the first big female boxer in the history
- 14:18of that sport.
- 14:20When I was young,
- 14:21I was a huge boxing fan,
- 14:22got all the pay-per-views.
- 14:24She was on every undercard with Tyson,
- 14:27Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield,
- 14:30and it all kind of
- 14:35hit an epic time when she fought Layla
- 14:37Ali, but she was like,
- 14:39ten years older than Layla when they met.
- 14:42and thirty pounds lighter um it's it is
- 14:46a it's a great movie it got dogged
- 14:49when it came out in the theaters i
- 14:50don't know why i really enjoyed it sydney
- 14:53sweeney plays christy martin i thought she
- 14:56did a great job with it she got
- 14:58ripped for it um but i thought she
- 15:01did a great job and um she went
- 15:05through hell and back during her career
- 15:08and after um
- 15:12In fact, I don't want to spoil it.
- 15:16Helen Beck...
- 15:18The climax of the movie is unbelievable.
- 15:21And I highly recommend it,
- 15:24even though it's been completely trashed
- 15:26by the media.
- 15:27I thoroughly enjoyed it.
- 15:28It's on HBO Max now.
- 15:30So if you have that, it's a really,
- 15:33really good movie.
- 15:34And I lived during her career,
- 15:37and I remember her career and how she
- 15:40was the Mike Tyson of the women's
- 15:42division.
- 15:44through the nineties.
- 15:47She was essentially unbeatable and
- 15:48knocking people out in the first round.
- 15:52She just was technically better than other
- 15:54boxers.
- 15:56And it's,
- 15:58it was fun to relive that time.
- 16:00But when you learn what she went through
- 16:02to get to where she got to,
- 16:04good God, that poor woman.
- 16:09So I highly recommend it.
- 16:13Who was your favorite boxer of that
- 16:15generation?
- 16:18So before Tyson went to prison,
- 16:20Tyson was my guy.
- 16:23After Tyson went to prison,
- 16:26I became a Lennox Lewis guy because
- 16:27everybody else was an Evander Holyfield
- 16:29guy around me.
- 16:33He was British.
- 16:34He was brash.
- 16:37So that was my guy.
- 16:39But my favorite boxer of all time is
- 16:41Roy Jones Jr.,
- 16:42That was what I was going to say
- 16:44for me.
- 16:44Because I was living in Tallahassee when
- 16:46he lived in Panama City,
- 16:48which was only like an hour away.
- 16:50And I used to go to live fights
- 16:53in Florida all the time.
- 16:55I loved boxing back then.
- 16:57Same here.
- 16:57My dad was a big boxing fan and
- 16:59we would go to a lot of events
- 17:01together.
- 17:01And then I trained a little bit with
- 17:04the boxers at my Taekwondo gym.
- 17:05So I loved watching boxing growing up.
- 17:08I just got so out of it the
- 17:09last few years.
- 17:10I haven't watched too much.
- 17:12Yeah.
- 17:13And that was a great era for boxing.
- 17:16It was, I mean, my,
- 17:17my first love was Marvin Hagler and then
- 17:20it went, it went from there, but, um,
- 17:24Chris,
- 17:25Sydney Sweeney does an awesome job with
- 17:27the boxing.
- 17:28The,
- 17:29she looked like a boxer in the movie
- 17:32and that's hard to do in movies.
- 17:34So many times a baseball player or a
- 17:36football,
- 17:37they look like they've never been on the
- 17:38field.
- 17:39She actually looked like she had boxed
- 17:41before.
- 17:43So there it is.
- 17:48Um, grow man to Roy for sure.
- 17:51Uh, what about B hop ageless?
- 17:56Yeah.
- 17:56I mean,
- 17:56there were so many great boxers back then.
- 18:00It, you know, now it's like,
- 18:02it's almost dead.
- 18:05MMA has taken over that, that world.
- 18:08Certainly.
- 18:08Yeah.
- 18:08Yeah.
- 18:11I agree with Fergie's comment.
- 18:12If Custom Auto would have lived,
- 18:15Tyson would have never fallen.
- 18:18But I think the judging also has something
- 18:20to do with some of the fall.
- 18:24When you're knocking out a person in
- 18:25sixteen seconds,
- 18:26judging isn't a factor anymore.
- 18:28Yeah, that's true.
- 18:30Don't leave it to the judges.
- 18:31That's what we used to say.
- 18:36So, yeah.
- 18:38So that was, so I did that.
- 18:39I did my taxes and in between I
- 18:40watched that movie.
- 18:45So, yeah.
- 18:46All right, cool.
- 18:48Well, let's get into it for tonight.
- 18:51What do we got on the rundown here?

- 20:01software to get us live each and every
- 20:03week.
- 20:07So, yeah.
- 20:07So thank you so much, Mark Phillips,
- 20:09for that.
- 20:10And hopefully you win one of those
- 20:12memberships.
- 20:13And then decide you like it and you'll
- 20:15stay.
- 20:19Where do we stand with your invitations to
- 20:22events?
- 20:23In that post, Carolyn,
- 20:24you said you have three competitions
- 20:26coming up.
- 20:29Trying to count through them.
- 20:31Do you want to clarify what three?
- 20:33Or are you not ready to do that
- 20:34yet?
- 20:36Oh, I don't care.
- 20:36I've said them all along.
- 20:37Legends.
- 20:39So Masters.
- 20:40Semi-Finals.
- 20:41WFP.
- 20:43London.
- 20:44NorCal.
- 20:46Will you do the in-affiliate too?
- 20:49Like in-affiliate individual?
- 20:52Oh, yeah.
- 20:53I was talking about in-person comps coming
- 20:59up.
- 20:59Technically, I could have five.
- 21:00If I don't get top three at Legends,
- 21:02I'm going to have the online semifinals
- 21:04for Masters right after London.
- 21:08Then I would have NorCal a few weeks
- 21:09after that.
- 21:10Then I would have the online semifinals
- 21:12and then possibly Xenon end of June.
- 21:16So trying to do it all right now
- 21:17this year,
- 21:18all in the woman who used to play
- 21:22hockey, soccer,
- 21:24Taekwondo all in the same year.
- 21:28Yeah.
- 21:29You're always ready.
- 21:30So it doesn't matter.
- 21:31You'll be fine.
- 21:33And last week you mentioned hamstring.
- 21:35How's that coming along?
- 21:37Hamstring feels good.
- 21:39No issues this week.
- 21:41Lifted for the first time this week with
- 21:43no pain.
- 21:46Have not maxed out my deadlift,
- 21:49which I'll have to do at WFP.
- 21:51Yeah, hamstring's been good.
- 21:53Having a little bit of wrist kind of
- 21:56issues lately, but working around that.
- 22:02Go, Carolyn.
- 22:03Just tender.
- 22:04From Lena Marcine.
- 22:07uh natalie natalie lemieux xenon partner
- 22:10or individual well i i i got an
- 22:12individual invite um so not invite like
- 22:15you put your name for like two hundred
- 22:17and fifty free spots and then um i
- 22:21won one of those two hundred and fifty
- 22:24free spots i did not ask for it
- 22:26i want it jamie
- 22:31And I accepted,
- 22:32I was thinking that maybe there's going to
- 22:34be hidden fees.
- 22:35I don't know if I'm going to do
- 22:35it, but it was free to register.
- 22:38So I got it done.
- 22:39I don't have anything booked for that one
- 22:41though.
- 22:41So we'll see if I actually get to
- 22:43that one because yeah,
- 22:47it's a lot of travel.
- 22:48It's expensive.
- 22:49If you qualify in person,
- 22:50then some of like the,
- 22:52the in affiliate stuff will go away.
- 22:53Right.
- 22:56Yeah.
- 22:57Say that again?
- 22:59If you qualify in person at Legends,
- 23:02you won't do the in-person Masters.
- 23:05In Affiliate Masters.
- 23:08In Affiliate Masters, yeah.
- 23:09i'll still probably do them um i have
- 23:13a teenager at my gym who's um gonna
- 23:16be doing them and then depending as well
- 23:19how lex does at legends because we're
- 23:22competing against each other um if she
- 23:25gets a spot there which i think she
- 23:28can certainly get a spot there um
- 23:33then also test for her online if needed.
- 23:36But ideally,
- 23:37maybe just one or two of the events
- 23:39I would test for my teenager at the
- 23:41gym.
- 23:42Okay.
- 23:45And for me, the pressure would be off.
- 23:46So you don't have to go.
- 23:49One hundred percent.
- 23:51Yeah.
- 23:52Yeah.
- 23:54The really cool comment here.
- 23:55I'm going to start so I don't miss
- 23:57it.
- 23:59Jamie.
- 24:02You and I, let me preface this.
- 24:03You and I have been texting a lot
- 24:04this week.
- 24:05Yeah.
- 24:06Back and forth.
- 24:07You trying to decide what you're going to
- 24:08do.
- 24:10Everybody knows you have been,
- 24:11you had hip surgery in October, September.
- 24:15Yep.
- 24:15Mid-September.
- 24:17You have had a shoulder injury for three
- 24:19years.
- 24:22Yeah.
- 24:22Did you have both shoulders or just the
- 24:25one?
- 24:26My right one,
- 24:27I had surgery on in the end of
- 24:32twenty nineteen, like right before COVID.
- 24:35Like I had surgery December of twenty
- 24:37nineteen,
- 24:38basically like started PT and got and then
- 24:43like that all got shut down.
- 24:44So I never actually got through PT on
- 24:46my right shoulder.
- 24:47And I don't know if that's partially why
- 24:49I just don't feel like it's ever been
- 24:52like come back fully.
- 24:54And I think because of the way the
- 24:56right was,
- 24:57I was just doing weird things with my
- 25:01left.
- 25:02And in January of twenty four,
- 25:06like before the open,
- 25:07I was doing pullovers and I like if
- 25:11I felt it like come out of socket
- 25:13basically.
- 25:13But I went and got an MRI and
- 25:16stuff and it's the same thing like.
- 25:18I, my little Abrams torn.
- 25:20So where does it,
- 25:21where does it tear on the pullover?
- 25:22Cause I, cause who did that?
- 25:23Barnhart, I think did it.
- 25:25It's someone else at the games also
- 25:27injured their shoulder on the pullover.
- 25:29Is it like the way down?
- 25:30Yeah.
- 25:31Yep.
- 25:34Uh,
- 25:34Jamie sounds like a German shepherd where
- 25:36the joints are jacked up,
- 25:37but the dog refuses to wear the cone
- 25:39of shame.
- 25:39Yeah.
- 25:41I mean, my, yeah, I, I would agree.
- 25:43Like I clearly there's my body was not
- 25:47like,
- 25:49set up to be able to do this
- 25:50i like i don't like the swing pullovers
- 25:53i think it should be a strict pullover
- 25:55so you do actually a strict like strict
- 25:57or like get a chin over the bar
- 25:59and then you can go up and then
- 26:01you come down you can do a kipping
- 26:04pull up but you have to go over
- 26:05the bar and then like that's how i
- 26:07used to have to do it gymnastics right
- 26:08when i was young it's much harder on
- 26:10the core too and you avoid this circus
- 26:13type movement yeah so jamie you received
- 26:17an invite to everything
- 26:20well and or magic city and legends yeah
- 26:23and the in affiliate is the week after
- 26:26magic city so one of the things you
- 26:29have to contemplate is if you don't
- 26:31qualify in person you have to be ready
- 26:34for the in affiliate correct and with all
- 26:36you've went through it's not as simple as
- 26:40being ready for two straight weeks right
- 26:45so what was your final decision well i
- 26:47registered for legends
- 26:51And that's after or before an affiliate?
- 26:57That's the week before Magic City.
- 26:59Okay, so you have two weeks.
- 27:01Yeah.
- 27:03are you waiting to see the events and
- 27:06then we'll decide whether to book the rest
- 27:08of your trip did you is there like
- 27:11a an insurance on competition corner that
- 27:14you can um you know how sometimes they
- 27:16do like you can cancel and get your
- 27:19money back if you pay like this i
- 27:20don't know is it thirty dollars of
- 27:22insurance yeah it was like forty bucks
- 27:23yeah did you do that i didn't
- 27:27I actually almost did because jury duty is
- 27:29one of the things on there.
- 27:30And that was one of the issues.
- 27:32I have a jury summons April.
- 27:34I was able to go in.
- 27:37So I didn't get the insurance because I
- 27:38didn't think it'd be I didn't think it'd
- 27:40be worth it.
- 27:40I don't I don't even know what are
- 27:41all the things I would.
- 27:43There's like I think there's like four
- 27:44things,
- 27:46but I was able to get my jury
- 27:47duty deferred to August.
- 27:49So I'm good there.
- 27:54And then
- 27:56I would, I mean,
- 27:58I don't feel like I have a,
- 28:00I think medical, I think, like,
- 28:01medical would be another thing,
- 28:03but I don't have, like, barring getting,
- 28:06like, mono or something or not, like,
- 28:10going and,
- 28:11or getting pneumonia and going and be able
- 28:13to get it, like...
- 28:15doctors, like, like my shoulder,
- 28:18isn't going to be a new thing that
- 28:19I'm not going to just be like,
- 28:21Oh yeah,
- 28:21this just happened and I can't make it.
- 28:24So yeah, I didn't get the insurance.
- 28:27I mean, I mean,
- 28:28it is what it is.
- 28:30When do you think those workouts will get
- 28:32released?
- 28:34I don't know.
- 28:35I was trying to think about that.
- 28:35Like I would,
- 28:37I would almost think some would come out
- 28:39by like Tuesday, kind of like mayhem,
- 28:41right?
- 28:41Like,
- 28:42about a week I was thinking maybe like
- 28:44a week like by Thursday we'll know at
- 28:47least some of them I would I would
- 28:48think as early as like Tuesday like one
- 28:50would come out then like maybe one
- 28:51Wednesday or Thursday and then maybe one
- 28:53Saturday those two guys are such wild
- 28:58cards you just never know what you're
- 29:00gonna get and I hate saying that but
- 29:03I know I've said it for years and
- 29:07But I've got a photographer trying to get
- 29:09media credentials.
- 29:09I hope they don't hold that against us,
- 29:11but we'll see.
- 29:15Mark Phillips doing research for us.
- 29:18Eight, twenty, twenty, eight, thirty,
- 29:19thirty one, thirty two, forty one.
- 29:21Those are the rankings from quarterfinals
- 29:23of the women at Legends in the forty
- 29:26to forty four.
- 29:30What place did you come in, Jamie?
- 29:31Twenty.
- 29:36So, twenty-two people have signed up.
- 29:38Did I count that right?
- 29:41Yeah, that's twenty-two people.
- 29:43I'm actually surprised there's that many
- 29:45in the twenty-eight to fifty range.
- 29:48I thought it dropped a lot more than
- 29:51that pretty soon, but yeah, that's good.
- 29:57CrossFit made something.
- 29:59I think Carolyn has a random Tuesday in
- 30:01July we can book free time out of.
- 30:04That's about right.
- 30:07Because we didn't even bring up her school
- 30:08schedule or any of that other stuff.
- 30:12Yeah, because I end school end of June.
- 30:15But I've taken one day off since the
- 30:17beginning of the year.
- 30:18One.
- 30:20knowing that this right little part i was
- 30:22gonna have a little bit more but it's
- 30:25just it's the one back it's a two
- 30:28back-to-backs that are really really hard
- 30:29i'm stressed but i have a very very
- 30:31nice uh guidance counselor who said she's
- 30:34gonna take my math class and um help
- 30:38teach for some of those days that i'm
- 30:40gone and that literally made my decision
- 30:42to go to london because i wasn't going
- 30:44to do london and then once she said
- 30:46that she would help with my math classes
- 30:49I was like, okay, I can go.
- 30:53So Tony says, if I was a millionaire,
- 30:57would set up a tournament of champions,
- 30:59five champions from CrossFit, Rogue, WFP,
- 31:01Olympic, Decathlon, Ironman, Spartan,
- 31:04World Championships, FitNFL, NHL, MLB,
- 31:08MLS, UFC athletes.
- 31:10And the prize would be two million
- 31:12dollars.
- 31:13What are the events?
- 31:14If it's CrossFit events...
- 31:16the CrossFitters will win.
- 31:19Like as soon as you start doing kipping
- 31:21pull-ups and ring muscle-ups,
- 31:22stuff like that,
- 31:23like it's very skewed to a CrossFit
- 31:27fitness test.
- 31:30I guess what,
- 31:30like what would we be testing?
- 31:37Mark did the same thing for you, Carolyn.
- 31:39The rankings from quarterfinals for
- 31:41thirty-five to thirty-nine.
- 31:42One, six, ten, twenty-two, twenty-three,
- 31:44forty, fifty-two.
- 31:46Okay.
- 31:47I'm not going to read through them all.
- 31:49But you're the one, right?
- 31:50I hope so.
- 31:54She's the one.
- 31:57Yeah,
- 31:58I don't think Carolyn is leaderboard
- 31:59watching.
- 32:01She's going to do her.
- 32:04I'm watching.
- 32:04I always watch.
- 32:08You'll be fine.
- 32:11I'm also rooting for Lex, though.
- 32:12Yeah, he has mixed.
- 32:13He says mixed events on his million dollar
- 32:17baby.
- 32:18Like sports events.
- 32:21Like, can we play real sports?
- 32:26I would like that.
- 32:28Oh, that makes me think of Scott.
- 32:30Are you caught up on the pit?
- 32:33No.
- 32:34So you see the tug of war?
- 32:36No.
- 32:36Okay.
- 32:39I didn't see this week.
- 32:40All right.
- 32:41Julie left Friday.
- 32:42She won't let me watch it without her.
- 32:44She got home like two hours before the
- 32:46show.
- 32:46Right.
- 32:48And Corey called.
- 32:48And so like, yeah, that was all.
- 32:50Everything was out the window.
- 32:51All right.
- 32:53Message me after you watch that.
- 32:55Did you get the text I gave you
- 32:57about Santos the singer?
- 33:04No.
- 33:04Okay.
- 33:05I just thought you were ignoring me.
- 33:06I don't even have a text from you.
- 33:11Uh,
- 33:11CrossFit says shoot free throws and solve
- 33:12calculus.
- 33:13Two questions.
- 33:18Uh, Tony says,
- 33:20which event do you think is the most
- 33:22dangerous to do?
- 33:23I think the one legged squats has to
- 33:25be dangerous where you can destroy your
- 33:27knee.
- 33:28What are your thoughts?
- 33:31no an event is only as dangerous as
- 33:33your lack of preparation yeah i mean a
- 33:36lot big argument could be made towards
- 33:38keeping handstand push up but again that's
- 33:40a lack of preparation all right i this
- 33:46is gonna this is like my one show
- 33:48i love i love blackberries oh i like
- 33:52blackberries too they're like my favorite
- 33:54berry
- 33:56See, they're not my favorite berries,
- 33:57but I do like them.
- 33:59Every time I get a seed stuck in
- 34:01my tooth.
- 34:04Why?
- 34:04Same for raspberries.
- 34:05It's like eating a porcupine.
- 34:08Yeah.
- 34:10I hate that.
- 34:12And I'm going to sit here and play
- 34:14with my teeth for the next hour and
- 34:15a half.
- 34:17All right.
- 34:18Mayhem.
- 34:19Mayhem is this week.
- 34:22They will be broadcasting the last four
- 34:24events.
- 34:26The YouTube channels are already up to do
- 34:29that.
- 34:31Just the last four?
- 34:31I thought day one was on there.
- 34:34Maybe.
- 34:34Day one's the run.
- 34:35And they said that I don't think that'll
- 34:37be on there.
- 34:38Yeah, I didn't think.
- 34:38I'm sure they'll do a highlight video of
- 34:39that.
- 34:40But isn't there five events after that?
- 34:42Isn't there six total events?
- 34:44I thought it was five total is what
- 34:45I heard.
- 34:45I think that they're doing six this year.
- 34:48I thought one was on Friday,
- 34:50three on Saturday, and two on Sunday.
- 34:52I feel like they're doing six.
- 34:56I was listening to Rory on Talking Elite
- 34:59Fitness.
- 35:00I thought he said five,
- 35:01but I could be wrong.
- 35:06I do feel like the semifinals should at
- 35:10least have the same amount of numbers of
- 35:12events.
- 35:12I agree.
- 35:14Like they should have the same amount of
- 35:15competitors.
- 35:16Like you have some events that have.
- 35:17Fifty competitors for like two spots.
- 35:20Some events have twenty competitors for
- 35:22three spots, you know,
- 35:23like there should at least what, like,
- 35:25even though the program is different,
- 35:26like at least have the same amount of
- 35:28events,
- 35:29same amount of competitors at them.
- 35:33And then the spots can differ, but.
- 35:35So last week we talked about midline
- 35:37century.
- 35:37They've released two events since the five
- 35:41K run.
- 35:43Um, and it is redacted all the details.
- 35:46Right.
- 35:47What do you think can be there?
- 35:50I think there could be a sandbag for
- 35:51part of it.
- 35:52I think I,
- 35:54I do think they could have gone with
- 35:56the same thing when that Ruck redo,
- 35:57like the first score was like your first
- 36:00mile.
- 36:01And it could be like,
- 36:02it could even be like the first four
- 36:03hundred or first half mile,
- 36:05like something to make you go out hot
- 36:08could be a score.
- 36:10And that could be their way of getting
- 36:11more scores.
- 36:12Right.
- 36:14But I wouldn't like that in a five
- 36:16event weekend.
- 36:16I agree.
- 36:17If it's only five events and six scores
- 36:19and two of the scores are out of
- 36:20running, that sucks.
- 36:24I think it's details of like rock.
- 36:26I think cross is right.
- 36:29Location and load.
- 36:31There's going to be a load to this
- 36:32run, at least for part of it.
- 36:34I think part of like half of it
- 36:35has a load.
- 36:36Then you unload and then finish without or
- 36:38something.
- 36:38Yeah.
- 36:40And then the other part is they don't
- 36:41want people to know where it's at.
- 36:43Right.
- 36:43For sure.
- 36:46Um, uh, Beck is a favorite.
- 36:50It depends on the programming.
- 36:51She's a specialist.
- 36:53We'll see.
- 36:54We'll see how her training has taken her.
- 36:58Who would you have winning that five K
- 36:59with that field on the woman and men's
- 37:02side?
- 37:04On the woman's side,
- 37:06Emma Lawson or Lucy would be the front
- 37:09runners there.
- 37:10Is Emily not going now?
- 37:13She's there.
- 37:14I forgot about her.
- 37:17I know she was on the list.
- 37:18I have no idea if she was one
- 37:19of the ones that backed out.
- 37:21Dude, like six people have backed out now.
- 37:24we got that on the rundown um yeah
- 37:31i don't like this slide anymore it's not
- 37:33even close to accurate yeah but i think
- 37:37the people that have come in we don't
- 37:38have to worry about winning these events
- 37:41this event so i think lucy emily or
- 37:47emma on the woman like those three
- 37:52i think kenya is a pretty good runner
- 37:53too um just dark horse i think she's
- 37:58just i think i would put her behind
- 38:01that that just behind that tier though
- 38:04she's gonna stay with emily i don't think
- 38:05she's with those girls on that i mean
- 38:07haley should know the course or it runs
- 38:10around there so she should so it really
- 38:13does depend if it's loaded because i think
- 38:15that even hurts emily ralph too
- 38:18Emily Rolfe won the six K ruck run
- 38:21games in twenty nineteen.
- 38:22I guess over the other girls.
- 38:25I mean, she's a little taller.
- 38:27She could probably handle the load maybe a
- 38:28little bit more.
- 38:30The problem with Emily and she's one of
- 38:32my favorite people in the world.
- 38:34She's been hurt for the last full year.
- 38:38Yeah.
- 38:39I don't think running is something that
- 38:41would have been on some of the other
- 38:43events hamstring.
- 38:45Oh, really?
- 38:46She what?
- 38:47pulled out of a high rocks because of
- 38:49a hamstring.
- 38:50Oh, I did not know that.
- 38:52I just thought it was the shoulder.
- 38:55So anyway, let's move on to the men.
- 38:59Um,
- 39:00I think the first two listed are the
- 39:02favorites.
- 39:03Yeah.
- 39:04And I mean, and hopper on this,
- 39:06if it's, if it's, uh, with weight.
- 39:11Yeah.
- 39:13But I mean,
- 39:13I think Adler's going to crush this.
- 39:16And Roman can run.
- 39:18The Hopper can run too.
- 39:20So probably the first three are your
- 39:21podium on that event.
- 39:23Yep.
- 39:25And I don't really see anybody competing
- 39:28with them.
- 39:35So let's go back to the final event
- 39:37that was released.
- 39:39And that was
- 39:43The dirty thirties, uh,
- 39:49a third sandbag squats,
- 39:51third ring muscle ups,
- 39:53third sandbag squats,
- 39:55third bar muscle ups,
- 39:56third sandbag squats.
- 40:00A lot of squatting there that I have
- 40:02your sandbag for the females will play a
- 40:04factor.
- 40:07And then it's going to depend.
- 40:08Are they,
- 40:08is it going to be like the game
- 40:10standard of just the one arm has to
- 40:12be on it and the other arm can't
- 40:13touch it.
- 40:14Like I've seen people do this with their
- 40:16sandbags practicing.
- 40:17And like,
- 40:17I'm not sure if that's going to be
- 40:18allowed at the games.
- 40:19It was not,
- 40:21it was here in and you had to
- 40:22put your arm, not like just the one.
- 40:26Um, I,
- 40:31I bet they don't have a restriction like
- 40:33that.
- 40:35No.
- 40:36I hope it's one-armed only because when
- 40:39you go two,
- 40:40people lean forward and the depth of the
- 40:42squat gets questionable.
- 40:44I think when you're one,
- 40:45depth of the squat is better,
- 40:47easier to judge, better event.
- 40:50I think this is going to be more
- 40:51about the squatting than the ring
- 40:54muscle-ups.
- 40:56On the men's side, for sure.
- 40:57And then unless you're a really bad ring
- 41:00muscle-upper on the women's side.
- 41:03Is Miriam still coming here?
- 41:05I never thought that she was.
- 41:08But like Claudia Gluck is going to be
- 41:11there.
- 41:13She's amazing on the rings.
- 41:17Is Maddie folks there?
- 41:19I think she's great at the rings,
- 41:22but I think it's going to come down
- 41:24to like, those aren't big, big athletes,
- 41:26but if they can move that sandbag, well,
- 41:30they could do some damage here on,
- 41:32on this workout and, you know,
- 41:34impact the usual names that we think about
- 41:38for the top of the leaderboard on the
- 41:40woman's side.
- 41:43Kyra's great at rings.
- 41:45Yeah.
- 41:46And amazing squatter.
- 41:47That's a great combo for Kyra.
- 41:49What about Paige?
- 41:52She'll do well.
- 41:53She'll do well.
- 41:55That's my pick.
- 41:56That's what I'm going with.
- 42:00And then, you know, we get,
- 42:02we have the Colton love in the chat.
- 42:04For sure.
- 42:05Yeah.
- 42:07For sure.
- 42:07Colton on that.
- 42:09Yeah.
- 42:12All right.
- 42:13So that is the workouts that have been
- 42:15released.
- 42:16So that's either half or over half.
- 42:21And the, the toast of our one, right?
- 42:26Uh, that's the first one.
- 42:27That was the midline century.
- 42:29What number is that one?
- 42:29Uh, number four, four.
- 42:35So on the same day of the ring
- 42:36muscle ups or no.
- 42:41Yeah.
- 42:41Well,
- 42:42it's either the first event on Sunday or
- 42:45the third event on Saturday,
- 42:47depending on how they're.
- 42:48Thank God that one isn't before the ring
- 42:53muscle up one trying to.
- 42:55And when your core is shot like that,
- 42:58trying to do ring muscle ups and bar
- 43:01muscle ups is so challenging.
- 43:06So you can see on the screen all
- 43:08the new confirms,
- 43:10including Caroline Stanley,
- 43:12Rebecca Fusile, Noah Wilson, RJ Mistry.
- 43:20That is because a lot of withdrawals
- 43:21happened.
- 43:23And that's something I wanted to talk
- 43:25about.
- 43:25And that is we lost Ariel Loewen,
- 43:28Chris Ibarra, Lexi Neely, Erica Folo,
- 43:32and Connor Volz.
- 43:35Do we think they're all injury related or
- 43:38are people looking at events and then
- 43:40moving or looking at other fields and
- 43:43seeing openings?
- 43:44I guess I don't know what the,
- 43:46all these athletes have.
- 43:49I think people sign up and because they
- 43:51think they want to go to them.
- 43:52And then when the season plays out and
- 43:54they can see who's where they,
- 43:57they change their mind.
- 44:01And this is going to continue to happen
- 44:03as long as athletes have the choice to
- 44:06go wherever they want as many times as
- 44:08they want.
- 44:08Yeah.
- 44:12And under this structure,
- 44:14I can't blame them.
- 44:17The more data you have,
- 44:19the different decision you're going to
- 44:21make.
- 44:25It's frustrating from a fan perspective.
- 44:28It's frustrating from an event organizer
- 44:31spot as well.
- 44:33I think that we need to get back
- 44:37to you go to one semifinal,
- 44:42there's a last chance qualifier,
- 44:44and then you can go to the games.
- 44:52And until that happens,
- 44:54you're going to have withdrawals at all
- 44:55these events.
- 45:01And if you have a static,
- 45:03you have to go to one semifinal.
- 45:06The event organizer can then market it and
- 45:09know that those people are going to be
- 45:11on the floor.
- 45:12And it brings back the drama.
- 45:15Because mayhem loses drama when you know,
- 45:17okay, I didn't make it this time,
- 45:19but I've got two more shots or I
- 45:22got three more shots.
- 45:24There's no drama to that.
- 45:29If people came and they had to get
- 45:30the top three,
- 45:32now all of a sudden you have a
- 45:33whole lot of drama.
- 45:38Yeah.
- 45:40And I think that's why people aren't
- 45:41showing up.
- 45:43Cause for what,
- 45:43just to see someone work out, right.
- 45:46If they don't, if they don't win it,
- 45:48I can,
- 45:48they're going to be out again in two
- 45:50weeks.
- 45:58So
- 46:00I just think this is going to be
- 46:01a problem.
- 46:01And I think mayhem is probably going to
- 46:04be the least amount of withdrawals.
- 46:06As we get into the season,
- 46:07you're going to see more because people
- 46:09are going to qualify or people are going
- 46:11to get hurt or people are going to
- 46:12do whatever.
- 46:16And I did hear fee on girls unfiltered
- 46:18on Thursday say,
- 46:20but it's nice because if I'm sick that
- 46:22weekend, I can,
- 46:25Patrick Mahomes has to play the second
- 46:27Sunday after the regular season,
- 46:29whether he's healthy or not.
- 46:31And that's playoff time.
- 46:34You go when you go.
- 46:37You don't get to pick and choose.
- 46:39And the fact that we're giving, like,
- 46:41choices, you know,
- 46:44if you want to qualify for Wimbledon,
- 46:46you've got to do the qualifier to get
- 46:48to Wimbledon.
- 46:48You've got to go through all the stages,
- 46:50whether you're hurt, healthy, whatever.
- 47:00I hear a lot of people say,
- 47:01let's go back to regionals.
- 47:03That's fine.
- 47:04I want a solution.
- 47:05Right.
- 47:05Because regionals were too expensive.
- 47:08It wasn't something they could handle.
- 47:10I think there is something in between.
- 47:16I think that we have decided that we
- 47:21as CrossFitters or the CrossFit have
- 47:23decided we're bigger than we really are.
- 47:26We need to simplify it back,
- 47:28get back to grassroots,
- 47:30have a streamlined season.
- 47:32And I,
- 47:33I have proposed go to high schools and
- 47:35as the qualifiers, you've got a track,
- 47:38you've got a football field.
- 47:40You've probably got a cross country trail.
- 47:44You've got a lot of options to do
- 47:46an event outdoors.
- 47:48We did granite games outdoors for years.
- 47:52Just don't go to Miami.
- 47:55True.
- 47:56Good point.
- 48:00So I just,
- 48:03I miss the drama in CrossFit.
- 48:06To me,
- 48:07regionals were more fun than the games
- 48:09because your spot was on the line to
- 48:12get to that next, next piece.
- 48:15And a lot of people that make it
- 48:16to the games are just happy to be
- 48:17there.
- 48:18Right.
- 48:20But regionals,
- 48:22the carrot is all there and the drama
- 48:24was huge,
- 48:26especially in the central regional where I
- 48:28lived.
- 48:29And you, I mean,
- 48:30it was tight every year who got in
- 48:32and who didn't.
- 48:33Uh, because someone agreed with me,
- 48:41you're spot on Scott,
- 48:42even with the withdrawals,
- 48:43ma'am still is the most stacked field so
- 48:45far.
- 48:46Right.
- 48:47But there's no drama.
- 48:48There's no drama.
- 48:52Benita,
- 48:53am I the only person that liked the
- 48:54sanctional year?
- 48:56I liked it at first.
- 48:57I thought it was fun that they could
- 48:58go make money and do a bunch of
- 49:00things.
- 49:01But figuring out who made the games was
- 49:03like a calculus equation.
- 49:09Especially cause that year too,
- 49:10like if you already had your spot and
- 49:12you're qualifying,
- 49:12like sometimes it was like,
- 49:14and you had your,
- 49:15I'm pretty sure the national champions
- 49:17maybe,
- 49:17or people that had qualified in the open
- 49:19were also in there.
- 49:20So if you already had your spot,
- 49:22maybe it was like athlete fifth place
- 49:26would get this.
- 49:26Like it was confusing that way.
- 49:28Yeah.
- 49:29I mean,
- 49:29I think what a Palooza that year,
- 49:31ninth place got the qualification because
- 49:33the eight people in front of them had
- 49:35already qualified.
- 49:36Mm-hmm.
- 49:39Yeah,
- 49:40I think that was the start of the
- 49:41downfall.
- 49:43The season got too confusing.
- 49:45It started that I can go multiple places.
- 49:52It becomes a...
- 49:55it becomes a like the haves and have
- 49:58nots.
- 49:58Like if you have any money backing you
- 50:00and you are free and you can get,
- 50:03go to four comps.
- 50:04Yeah.
- 50:04You're probably going to make it.
- 50:05And then you're going to continue to make
- 50:07it.
- 50:07Cause you're sponsored.
- 50:08Cause you've been seen like it just,
- 50:11it sucks for up and comers.
- 50:13Cause now it's just like the top ten
- 50:14people and that's it.
- 50:15And I,
- 50:15when John said that on the thing,
- 50:16he's like, well, we might as well just,
- 50:17we know the top ten.
- 50:18Let's just send them to the games and
- 50:19let them compete.
- 50:20Cause this whole,
- 50:21the whole format is stupid at this point.
- 50:24Ken Walters,
- 50:25Granite Games at Vikings Training Facility
- 50:27was awesome.
- 50:28Loved volunteering for that one.
- 50:31And bonus, it's where I met Clydesdale.
- 50:33I think I told the joke this week
- 50:35on the lunch show.
- 50:37Ken Walters, Scott Switzer,
- 50:38Colton Mertens,
- 50:39and Ali Zerke walked into a bar.
- 50:46That was a fun night.
- 50:47It was a fun night.
- 50:49Um,
- 50:52So dumb question.
- 50:53If someone won the rogue champion or WFP,
- 50:56but only participated one regional
- 50:57CrossFit,
- 50:58would they make the list to the CrossFit
- 51:01games?
- 51:03You still have to do the open.
- 51:04You still have under these rules.
- 51:06You still have to do the open.
- 51:07You still have to do the quarterfinals and
- 51:09finish within two thousand.
- 51:14And then you would have to go to
- 51:17a semifinal.
- 51:18And in this case,
- 51:19the WFP and Rogue are not qualification to
- 51:24the games.
- 51:25They're big events in the offseason,
- 51:29but they're not semifinals.
- 51:34Correct.
- 51:35It's not the path.
- 51:36But yes, if they had done the Open,
- 51:37finished high enough in quarters,
- 51:39and gone to...
- 51:43you know,
- 51:43and North kale classic and finished top
- 51:46three, then yes, they are two.
- 51:48I don't know what North top two,
- 51:49then yes, they could go.
- 51:50It doesn't matter where they placed at WFP
- 51:52or rogue.
- 51:55Matthew spray,
- 51:55get rid of the online qualifiers,
- 51:57including the open you small local comps
- 51:59in person to qualify for larger comps,
- 52:01then win those to qualify for the games
- 52:03at the end of the season.
- 52:04But then you are,
- 52:05you are killing the affiliates.
- 52:07And it's a huge money revenue.
- 52:12I don't have a problem with the open
- 52:14or quarters to be quite honest.
- 52:16I mean,
- 52:17do I think it could be better?
- 52:18Do I think videos,
- 52:19should it be like a little bit more
- 52:20legitimized?
- 52:21Probably, but the model makes sense.
- 52:26I want,
- 52:27I love the open that you get to
- 52:29test yourself against everyone in the
- 52:32world doing those workouts that weekend.
- 52:37Like there's something about that versus
- 52:38going to an in-person local event and
- 52:42doing, you know,
- 52:44a different workout or what, like, yeah,
- 52:45no.
- 52:48I see him say that the affiliate can
- 52:49host small comps.
- 52:51Here's where you lose the affiliates.
- 52:53My old affiliate had an intramural
- 52:56competition with the open.
- 52:59And I know there are probably.
- 53:01Thirty,
- 53:01forty percent of all affiliates do this.
- 53:04Everybody in the gym is on a team.
- 53:07And then you can earn points in a
- 53:08variety of ways to compete against each
- 53:11other.
- 53:12And there's a big barbecue or party at
- 53:13the end of that to celebrate everything
- 53:16that happened during the Open.
- 53:18And that is not only a fun time
- 53:21for your members,
- 53:23it attracts other people to want to be
- 53:25a part of that.
- 53:28And that cannot be ripped away willy-nilly
- 53:32for a sport that, quite frankly,
- 53:35is not packing them in.
- 53:40First and foremost,
- 53:41this is a methodology that trains people
- 53:44to live a better life the rest of
- 53:46their life.
- 53:47And we can't lose focus on that.
- 53:56The fact that it's difficult to explain
- 53:58this to Tony speaks volumes about the
- 54:00CrossFit season structure now.
- 54:02Amen.
- 54:04It's difficult to explain it to people
- 54:06that are in the season doing, you know,
- 54:09and in it for.
- 54:10Ten years.
- 54:12Let alone someone with a little bit less
- 54:14experience within the sport.
- 54:16Like people like current athletes are
- 54:18confused on this whole process.
- 54:21Current athletes had no idea that half of
- 54:23the qualifiers or before the open.
- 54:25Right.
- 54:26And missed out on their top chance to
- 54:27go to certain.
- 54:28Right.
- 54:29Like.
- 54:31because some of it was like, hush, hush,
- 54:33don't tell anyone about this comp because
- 54:35no one's signed up right now.
- 54:36And then like, yeah, it's crazy.
- 54:41So we're jumping around a little bit,
- 54:42but John Wood and Hiller,
- 54:45John Wood said Hiller then rebutted or
- 54:47whatever you want to call it,
- 54:49that the regional semifinal could be done
- 54:51at larger CrossFit affiliates.
- 54:55I really disagree with that.
- 54:58One,
- 54:58there are only a handful of affiliates
- 55:02large enough to do that.
- 55:05And then it would just stay there.
- 55:09There's no way for it to move around.
- 55:12And Mayhem and Proven are an hour away
- 55:15from each other.
- 55:15That's the thing.
- 55:16People say Crash and Mayhem.
- 55:19Sorry, those two.
- 55:20That is the problem.
- 55:22We can't do California and South.
- 55:25There is...
- 55:27the entire U S some needs some rest
- 55:29representation.
- 55:31That's why I'm saying like a high school,
- 55:34it's got stands for the football field.
- 55:36People can come.
- 55:38It's a way more affordable.
- 55:40I'm sure than getting an arena or a
- 55:41convention center.
- 55:44And it's big enough to hold,
- 55:46to put a,
- 55:47like a full size rig lanes and everything
- 55:50out on the field.
- 55:50And most high school stadiums are turf
- 55:53now.
- 55:53So you're not even damaging grass or
- 55:55anything.
- 55:56It's more just weather, though.
- 55:58You can't have a bunch of weather stuff
- 56:01happening.
- 56:02It has to be indoors just to make
- 56:05that semifinal.
- 56:06Granite Games was a semifinal three years
- 56:08ago.
- 56:09Where?
- 56:10Granite Games was outdoors three years
- 56:13ago, and it was a semifinal.
- 56:14Yeah, but they had the inside as well.
- 56:16They didn't.
- 56:18Okay, but this is a qualification,
- 56:20and I just think that you can't have
- 56:22a Waterpalooza.
- 56:23Even Rogue, the one year in Texas.
- 56:26They had to change so many of the
- 56:27events last minute.
- 56:30It just changes everything.
- 56:33The year that you got assigned a region,
- 56:35and they had Atlas Games, Granite Games,
- 56:42West Coast Classic,
- 56:43and I can't remember the four.
- 56:45Oh, the Syndicate.
- 56:49Granite games was one of the four that
- 56:50got you to the CrossFit games and it
- 56:52was completely outdoors.
- 56:55I just think it's risky unless you're in
- 56:57a location that like rarely ever,
- 56:59ever rains.
- 57:04I don't know.
- 57:05I mean, when did we become,
- 57:07I think that's my biggest point is we
- 57:12were not to that place where we can
- 57:14afford those big arenas.
- 57:17It is too expensive to have the regional
- 57:19approach unless we simplify it and become
- 57:22more grassroots.
- 57:23Then if we can regrow it back to
- 57:25what it was and get to a point
- 57:27where it becomes big enough to do that,
- 57:30then fine, make sure everything's indoors.
- 57:33But we're not at that point.
- 57:37And my other argument is I had more
- 57:39fun at my affiliate when we did stuff
- 57:41outdoors,
- 57:42like taking barbells out to the parking
- 57:44lot,
- 57:45taking rowers out underneath the canopy.
- 57:47I didn't say it wasn't fun.
- 57:48I'm just saying you have one heat that's
- 57:51pouring rain and the next heat doesn't
- 57:52have,
- 57:53and you're trying to qualify people to the
- 57:54games.
- 57:55If we do want to get a little
- 57:57bit more even between the weekend,
- 58:00that's a huge factor.
- 58:02That's a huge factor.
- 58:04I mean, nothing's even now.
- 58:07You have different programming.
- 58:08You have different sites.
- 58:10You have different events.
- 58:13But within that same weekend,
- 58:15you still want to take the same test.
- 58:17And when it's pouring rain and slippery
- 58:19for one heat and not for your heat,
- 58:22are we getting the fittest?
- 58:23Are we getting who is the luckiest?
- 58:26Well, I mean, Regionals was in May.
- 58:29If you get to May,
- 58:30rain chances go down.
- 58:32Granite Games,
- 58:33I was there two years in a row.
- 58:34It never rained when we were there.
- 58:37What it did do is one day was
- 58:39so damn hot you wanted to die.
- 58:42But other than that, it was fine.
- 58:47I think you can find locations where rain
- 58:49is not.
- 58:50I mean,
- 58:51there's songs about it never raining in
- 58:53California.
- 58:58So I don't know.
- 59:02What happened to all the Ringling Brothers
- 59:04tents?
- 59:05That's how the first legends comp that I
- 59:07went to in San Diego was,
- 59:10that's what it was.
- 59:11It was a giant white tent,
- 59:16like bigger than I really ever seen.
- 59:18Um, and that's, that's how it was.
- 59:26Um,
- 59:28Ken said nothing at Granite Games was
- 59:30indoors,
- 59:30except for where the athletes were.
- 59:32Yeah, the warm-up was back there.
- 59:33The athletes were in the indoor practice
- 59:35facility.
- 59:37Yeah.
- 59:39Maybe that year at Granite Games,
- 59:40but I did a St.
- 59:41Cloud one in a hockey rink.
- 59:43Oh, I did that one, too.
- 59:44Yeah.
- 59:44I don't know which year it was,
- 59:48but it was indoors.
- 59:50Yeah.
- 59:50Yeah, when Loud Live bought it,
- 59:52they moved it from St.
- 59:53Cloud to Minneapolis.
- 59:54Mm-hmm.
- 59:55And then it was at the Vikings training
- 59:57facility.
- 59:58Yep.
- 1:00:01Um, so, okay.
- 1:00:03I just don't,
- 1:00:04I don't think affiliates is the answer.
- 1:00:06Again, all the,
- 1:00:07a lot of the big ones are clustered,
- 1:00:10like proving could do it.
- 1:00:11Ma'am could do it and crash could do
- 1:00:12it, but they're all in the same location.
- 1:00:15Right.
- 1:00:16And he mentioned Coda, but I don't know.
- 1:00:19I've never been to Invictus.
- 1:00:21It looks kind of choppy when you see
- 1:00:23it on video.
- 1:00:26Um, so I don't know.
- 1:00:27They would just have to standardize the,
- 1:00:29they would have to standardize the
- 1:00:30equipments there.
- 1:00:31Like make sure all the bars are at
- 1:00:32the same height.
- 1:00:32Like the affiliate owner would have to do
- 1:00:34that so that like it's even between the
- 1:00:37heats, then the equipment,
- 1:00:39like they have to bring warms and just,
- 1:00:45yeah, I hate that idea.
- 1:00:46I just, I don't think, I don't know.
- 1:00:50There's no place for people to watch.
- 1:00:51There's no, even a crash.
- 1:00:54It's very limited.
- 1:00:55Yeah.
- 1:01:03Um, I'm a homo.
- 1:01:06I'm a whole named Mo,
- 1:01:09a big Prevost fan since I got to
- 1:01:11obnoxiously cheer for her.
- 1:01:21um based on ai search crossfit illumine
- 1:01:25chicago crossfit d so flow florida
- 1:01:30crossfit two oh nine stocked in california
- 1:01:33crossfit eased over fitness houston are
- 1:01:36all giant affiliates and well spread but
- 1:01:39spread just for the athletes or can
- 1:01:41spectators get in there and watch right i
- 1:01:47Especially because you'd be adding teams,
- 1:01:49right?
- 1:01:50And that's a lot of people.
- 1:01:52Right.
- 1:01:53And then do they have warmup areas?
- 1:01:55Is there enough place to,
- 1:01:58to get extra equipment in is like,
- 1:02:00I don't, I think it's just a big,
- 1:02:03it's a big reach to go to the
- 1:02:04affiliates.
- 1:02:06So it's a big ask though, for sure,
- 1:02:08but definitely cheaper.
- 1:02:10Yeah.
- 1:02:11And we can point out the big ones
- 1:02:12doesn't mean the affiliate owner wants to
- 1:02:14take part.
- 1:02:15Yeah.
- 1:02:16I'd much rather have the option of Chicago
- 1:02:19than what I have now.
- 1:02:20So.
- 1:02:21Crested illuminate sucks to be you,
- 1:02:23but you are hosting a semifinal.
- 1:02:29How many spectators show up anyways,
- 1:02:31when it's done, right?
- 1:02:33Nashville was sold out.
- 1:02:40When there was drama and it meant
- 1:02:42something, people came.
- 1:02:44Now I get seventy two chances to make
- 1:02:47the CrossFit Games.
- 1:02:54Giant affiliates,
- 1:02:55check the fire code for spectators.
- 1:03:04How much of the workouts would get leaked
- 1:03:06if it went to the affiliates hosting and
- 1:03:09they had to prepare even more so than
- 1:03:12now?
- 1:03:15All of these locations, damn.
- 1:03:17Teresa, I am not arguing with you.
- 1:03:18I think the games will have drama.
- 1:03:20But the regionals used to have tons of
- 1:03:23drama.
- 1:03:24Because your goal is to make the games.
- 1:03:29So many people's goal is to make the
- 1:03:30games.
- 1:03:31Watching those final heats on Sunday meant
- 1:03:35so much.
- 1:03:38Because if you missed that shot,
- 1:03:40you were done.
- 1:03:42It's tears.
- 1:03:43It's elation.
- 1:03:45It's all the stuff you want at that
- 1:03:47level of the playoffs.
- 1:03:51Like, I'm a Bears fan.
- 1:03:54Last year,
- 1:03:55they have the shot to beat the Rams
- 1:03:57in overtime.
- 1:03:59They're marching.
- 1:04:00They're over the fifty.
- 1:04:00They're marching down the field.
- 1:04:02The shot is there,
- 1:04:03and Caleb throws an interception.
- 1:04:05You might as well have taken a knife
- 1:04:07and stabbed me in the gut.
- 1:04:09It hurt so bad that they lost that
- 1:04:11game.
- 1:04:12So bad.
- 1:04:14It's the same thing because it's over.
- 1:04:17After that interception, it was over.
- 1:04:21No more season.
- 1:04:23No more games to watch.
- 1:04:26And that's what we used to have with
- 1:04:27CrossFit.
- 1:04:27And it's all been taken away by this
- 1:04:30silliness of whatever the season is.
- 1:04:43Wow, so much.
- 1:04:43I know.
- 1:04:43There's a lot of comments coming in.
- 1:04:51Yeah, exactly.
- 1:04:51T-Bird, thank you.
- 1:04:53Watching Brent finally make it out of
- 1:04:54regionals was awesome.
- 1:04:56That storyline developed because he missed
- 1:04:59out by one spot how many times?
- 1:05:02Like two or three?
- 1:05:03At least three.
- 1:05:05And then because you have to get past
- 1:05:09that stage to make it to the next
- 1:05:11one,
- 1:05:12All that drama and him trying to make
- 1:05:14it to the games.
- 1:05:16That's what we've lost completely.
- 1:05:24I watched BTS,
- 1:05:25two thousand fourteen today.
- 1:05:27It was pretty fun.
- 1:05:29Watch some of those road to the games
- 1:05:31at regionals and see how much it meant
- 1:05:33to those people.
- 1:05:37We've taken away that that.
- 1:05:41impending doom from regionals we've been
- 1:05:45from semifinals because you have a couple
- 1:05:47chances um
- 1:05:55And I know Teresa thinks it's going to
- 1:05:57be drama at the games,
- 1:05:58and I do too, because at this point,
- 1:06:00I don't know who you're picking to win
- 1:06:03either side when you don't have Tia and
- 1:06:05you don't have Laura.
- 1:06:08And the men's side is just unreal top
- 1:06:11eight.
- 1:06:14It's going to be drama,
- 1:06:14but they're not selling tickets again.
- 1:06:19Because it's California.
- 1:06:22But that's where it all began, Jamie.
- 1:06:24Yeah.
- 1:06:28it is a huge venue right like are
- 1:06:29they not selling tickets or is it just
- 1:06:31because there's like i don't know fifteen
- 1:06:32thousand seats that it looks like it's
- 1:06:34empty they keep picking these huge
- 1:06:36stadiums that have way too many people so
- 1:06:42i um i went out there today how
- 1:06:44much are they that's what i was going
- 1:06:46to show yeah
- 1:06:49I also think more people will buy tickets
- 1:06:52as they start seeing who's there and like
- 1:06:54their favorite athletes or, you know,
- 1:06:56a member of their community is going and
- 1:06:58then people are starting to plan their
- 1:06:59trips for that athlete.
- 1:07:01Like it's going to start selling as our
- 1:07:04qualification process gets underway.
- 1:07:08Yeah.
- 1:07:09So sideline seats,
- 1:07:11six hundred and forty dollars.
- 1:07:13Who finished line seats?
- 1:07:16Eight hundred dollars.
- 1:07:21Clear across the damn field, three-sixty.
- 1:07:27That's a little better.
- 1:07:28Are we worth that much?
- 1:07:30Right.
- 1:07:32And if you go to the seat map,
- 1:07:34it's loading it here.
- 1:07:37Look at all the blue, the unsold seats.
- 1:07:41I would rather see a full stadium and
- 1:07:44charge way less and get people there.
- 1:07:48It's not worth paying that much.
- 1:07:51So the top, what?
- 1:07:52Especially when you have it like
- 1:07:53technically live on YouTube.
- 1:07:56Like look.
- 1:08:06Are you talking?
- 1:08:07Did your mic go out?
- 1:08:10Yeah.
- 1:08:13Is this the one hour?
- 1:08:15Yes.
- 1:08:15That he gets?
- 1:08:17It's more than an hour though.
- 1:08:18It's an hour and eight.
- 1:08:21The blue has been sold or that's empty?
- 1:08:24That's available to buy still.
- 1:08:26That's a ton of seats.
- 1:08:29The price is too expensive.
- 1:08:32I agree.
- 1:08:33Put it cheap and let's get it packed.
- 1:08:37California is not cheap to get to.
- 1:08:41There's so many things that people can do
- 1:08:43there than to sit inside.
- 1:08:45So make the fricking tickets a hundred
- 1:08:47bucks.
- 1:08:48Let's get it passed.
- 1:08:49And they're going to make more money that
- 1:08:50way.
- 1:08:51Like they're over, it's like, you know,
- 1:08:56increasing the affiliate fees, right?
- 1:08:58Then losing a bunch.
- 1:09:00I don't know.
- 1:09:00Maybe they think that this math is good,
- 1:09:02but I don't know.
- 1:09:03It's just empty.
- 1:09:04Like half of the background pictures of my
- 1:09:06games pictures,
- 1:09:07I think it's just like empty seats this
- 1:09:10past year.
- 1:09:10And it was never like that before.
- 1:09:12Like when I would post a picture from
- 1:09:14the games in the prior year,
- 1:09:16everything in the first bowl was filled
- 1:09:20and it looked like
- 1:09:21you're a rock star on a floor with
- 1:09:23a bunch of people watching what you're
- 1:09:24doing.
- 1:09:24Even if you have no idea what CrossFit
- 1:09:26is, you're like, damn, that's a lot.
- 1:09:27That looks cool.
- 1:09:28Yeah.
- 1:09:29Now, like half of my,
- 1:09:29like all of my pictures from the games
- 1:09:31this year is like three people in the
- 1:09:33background.
- 1:09:34They were loud, the people that are there,
- 1:09:35but it looked empty.
- 1:09:37We're charging too much.
- 1:09:39We are charging too much.
- 1:09:40Got to have the festival ticket cheap so
- 1:09:42that like families can go.
- 1:09:44Like if you're already spending seven
- 1:09:46hundred dollars plus for plane tickets and
- 1:09:50per person and two,
- 1:09:52three hundred bucks a night for rooms
- 1:09:54like.
- 1:09:56Dude,
- 1:09:57you're at for a family just to travel,
- 1:09:59you're at two,
- 1:10:00three grand and then you want to spend
- 1:10:02five hundred bucks a ticket.
- 1:10:03It's like.
- 1:10:06You've got a family of four trying to
- 1:10:09go.
- 1:10:10You want them to spend another two grand
- 1:10:11on just tickets?
- 1:10:14It's crazy.
- 1:10:16You know what's consistent?
- 1:10:18My mic going out every single week at
- 1:10:21about the hour mark.
- 1:10:22You know what else is consistent?
- 1:10:24Thirdsy.
- 1:10:26And you can get Thirdsy for fifteen
- 1:10:28percent off right now.
- 1:10:31And they have salted caramel chocolate
- 1:10:32back for a very limited time.
- 1:10:35I saw that.
- 1:10:36A thousand packs.
- 1:10:37That's all they have.
- 1:10:38Get it.
- 1:10:38You can get a few percent off of
- 1:10:40that.
- 1:10:41Go to thirdsy.com backslash Jazzy.
- 1:10:43Get your salted caramel chocolate before
- 1:10:45it goes away.
- 1:10:47And with that, back to the show.
- 1:10:50Jazzy.
- 1:10:51Don't forget Jazzy.
- 1:10:53yeah anyway i missed everything you guys
- 1:10:55said but i heard cheaper tickets get
- 1:10:57people in the seats yeah like a hundred
- 1:10:59hundred bucks let's get it filled let's
- 1:11:01get it loud in there let's get people
- 1:11:03to see crossfit in person and then talk
- 1:11:06about it with their friends and then join
- 1:11:08the affiliates like it's just too empty it
- 1:11:11doesn't it doesn't show the like a good
- 1:11:13product to your investors when it looks
- 1:11:16empty in there like make it look cool
- 1:11:19make it look awesome like this is our
- 1:11:23um advertising of crossfit here and this
- 1:11:26doesn't even include a master's ticket
- 1:11:29right nope like what were the master's
- 1:11:31tickets last year to watch like the same
- 1:11:33workout for twenty heats it was like what
- 1:11:37was it like eighty dollars eighty dollars
- 1:11:40a day and it was four days so
- 1:11:44i don't know three hundred plus tax yeah
- 1:11:52like um
- 1:11:54to watch the same workout for twenty years
- 1:11:56all negative it's not all negative Teresa
- 1:11:58there's great things about CrossFit but it
- 1:12:02but like we can't out price letting people
- 1:12:06come in and enjoy it the community is
- 1:12:09still awesome going to the gym is still
- 1:12:11awesome having a place to go and meet
- 1:12:15new people and friends and the whole bit
- 1:12:18is awesome and the athletes on the floor
- 1:12:21are awesome
- 1:12:23We just have to get them the right
- 1:12:24vehicle to get to the end.
- 1:12:34I think twenty twelve was around fifty
- 1:12:35bucks for the weekend.
- 1:12:37The after party was extra.
- 1:12:38I think.
- 1:12:38Well,
- 1:12:38twenty twelve gas was like a dollar eighty
- 1:12:40nine.
- 1:12:43So you have to expect some some inflation
- 1:12:47over time.
- 1:12:48But yeah,
- 1:12:49eight hundred dollars a seat for the
- 1:12:51weekend is crazy.
- 1:12:57Do you just hypothetically, and I,
- 1:13:00this is not on our notes or anything.
- 1:13:02If they went back to Madison,
- 1:13:03do you think that they would sell out?
- 1:13:14A lot more.
- 1:13:16Is it combined masters and age group?
- 1:13:20Yes.
- 1:13:21Same, same, same setup.
- 1:13:24I thought that was so perfect.
- 1:13:28A lot of people have been asking for
- 1:13:30it to come back to Madison.
- 1:13:32I would love for it to go back
- 1:13:33to Madison.
- 1:13:34I love it there.
- 1:13:35Me too.
- 1:13:37And Sharpie.
- 1:13:38I'm Sharpie on that.
- 1:13:40The outdoor festival part of it,
- 1:13:43that you could buy a cheap,
- 1:13:45ninety dollar ticket just to get in the
- 1:13:46gate to hang out.
- 1:13:49And you may never see anything inside the
- 1:13:51arena.
- 1:13:52You may be in the beer garden watching
- 1:13:53on the big screen TV and people would
- 1:13:56pay it just to be in there.
- 1:14:03Madison is harder to get to than San
- 1:14:05Jose.
- 1:14:06It's an hour from Chicago.
- 1:14:08I disagree.
- 1:14:11Two hours from Chicago,
- 1:14:12an hour from Milwaukee.
- 1:14:16Maybe the way you drive,
- 1:14:17it's an hour from Chicago.
- 1:14:19On a weekend with no traffic,
- 1:14:21it's not bad.
- 1:14:22Yeah.
- 1:14:25Can nobody hear us?
- 1:14:30I think it's just Ken.
- 1:14:30Okay.
- 1:14:31Okay.
- 1:14:32Because everybody else is reacting to the
- 1:14:35Madison.
- 1:14:36I think his earbuds died.
- 1:14:40The hearing aid went out?
- 1:14:42Hubby and I would have gone if it
- 1:14:44was in Madison.
- 1:14:46Shanna can hear us.
- 1:14:47That's all that matters.
- 1:14:48Perfect.
- 1:14:51So, yeah.
- 1:14:53I hope that once we know some of
- 1:14:54the players,
- 1:14:55maybe the ticket sales will go up.
- 1:14:57But we said that last year.
- 1:14:59I think it's better than last year.
- 1:15:02but only environmentally.
- 1:15:08Jeremy, I don't want to hear your trash.
- 1:15:10That Wisconsin stuff is never better than
- 1:15:13Chicago.
- 1:15:17Uh,
- 1:15:20Tony,
- 1:15:20who is still trying to figure out what
- 1:15:21CrossFit is to bring it in more people.
- 1:15:25You have to invite sports athletes from
- 1:15:27UFC, NFL,
- 1:15:28Olympic athletes and interview during the
- 1:15:30events to bring the new audience.
- 1:15:32Just my opinion.
- 1:15:33They've tried that.
- 1:15:35And there are a few people.
- 1:15:38I think that CrossFit finds people who do
- 1:15:40their methodology and then that they just
- 1:15:43use that person.
- 1:15:51I mean,
- 1:15:51Seth Rollins has been brought in a few
- 1:15:53times.
- 1:15:55Single day masters tickets are a hundred
- 1:15:58and twenty five dollars.
- 1:16:00No way.
- 1:16:02Or you see that.
- 1:16:03Wayne Short.
- 1:16:08That.
- 1:16:08So then they expect people to go and
- 1:16:10watch the masters and stay and watch.
- 1:16:14The elite and teams and teenagers,
- 1:16:17I guess.
- 1:16:19Like.
- 1:16:21That's ridiculous for that price.
- 1:16:24A three hundred dollar weekend pass to go
- 1:16:26see the elites or a three hundred and
- 1:16:30seventy five dollars to go watch the
- 1:16:32Masters.
- 1:16:33Literally charge no more than because
- 1:16:36Masters is all families going there.
- 1:16:38Like you're going to charge that much for
- 1:16:39like people to just bring their spouse and
- 1:16:42kids like that's crazy.
- 1:16:44Yeah, it should be like.
- 1:16:47Thirty bucks.
- 1:16:50One of my biggest peeves is the
- 1:16:54registering for the games.
- 1:16:59I feel like when you get your ticket
- 1:17:00to the games,
- 1:17:02whoever goes to Mayhem and gets first,
- 1:17:04they're paying them like twelve grand.
- 1:17:05Give them a freaking ticket to the games.
- 1:17:08You should be covering their registration.
- 1:17:10If you've earned your spot to the games,
- 1:17:15this should be paid.
- 1:17:16I don't get it.
- 1:17:18Like why we pay four hundred or whatever
- 1:17:20it is.
- 1:17:21It used to be two fifty.
- 1:17:22Yeah.
- 1:17:23Now it's four hundred plus.
- 1:17:24Yeah.
- 1:17:24Yeah.
- 1:17:25Like.
- 1:17:27Just give them the ticket to the games
- 1:17:29and it's because the people running the
- 1:17:31show think there are only certain revenue
- 1:17:34streams.
- 1:17:36They do not think outside the box for
- 1:17:39anything.
- 1:17:41So the only people they know to make
- 1:17:43money off of are spectators and
- 1:17:46participants.
- 1:17:48And a few people in vendor village,
- 1:17:50but that is diminishing because they're
- 1:17:52not cutting them any slack either.
- 1:17:55I knew people that went to the games
- 1:17:58and to regionals just to go to vendor
- 1:18:01village.
- 1:18:03And now you've priced that all out of
- 1:18:05what nobody will do that.
- 1:18:11Who,
- 1:18:11who cross what you think decides these
- 1:18:12prices?
- 1:18:13I mean,
- 1:18:17I think when you watch Dave's Week in
- 1:18:19Review,
- 1:18:19you see the dartboard in the background.
- 1:18:27And wherever it lands,
- 1:18:29that's the price for that section.
- 1:18:35I loved Venter Village in regional days.
- 1:18:37It was huge.
- 1:18:39It was as big as the games are
- 1:18:41now.
- 1:18:45And Barry's probably right.
- 1:18:47COO probably makes all those decisions.
- 1:18:56It's just way too much.
- 1:18:57It's way too much.
- 1:18:59It's not worth it.
- 1:19:00We're not feeling it like that.
- 1:19:04They're overestimating the value.
- 1:19:13Eric Mackey,
- 1:19:14I don't have any hope currently.
- 1:19:16I've given up that it will improve until
- 1:19:18a whole new CrossFit sport management
- 1:19:20approach is taken.
- 1:19:24The only optimism I have is listening to
- 1:19:26Seth Page talk about what's going on with
- 1:19:29the CAC and that he does feel that
- 1:19:32they are fruitful meetings.
- 1:19:36And that is giving me hope.
- 1:19:39But I don't know...
- 1:19:42I don't know,
- 1:19:43even if the people listening in those
- 1:19:46meetings think it's fruitful and think
- 1:19:48that they're great ideas,
- 1:19:50they still have to be allowed to execute
- 1:19:52on those.
- 1:19:53Right.
- 1:19:59Yeah, I don't know.
- 1:19:59It's hard because I do feel like it's
- 1:20:03been a lot of negative in the space.
- 1:20:06I did like hearing Seth say that
- 1:20:09know people are open to listen i like
- 1:20:11that dave's like getting fired up in the
- 1:20:13meetings and wanting ideas but like even
- 1:20:16like seth like i i mean i struggle
- 1:20:19with this like when we talk about it
- 1:20:21like if i don't have i don't want
- 1:20:23to say it's just trash and terrible
- 1:20:25without having a solution and it's really
- 1:20:29hard to come up with a good solution
- 1:20:33that you think that they will have like
- 1:20:38even a chance of implementing,
- 1:20:41like you don't,
- 1:20:42you're not going to just throw out
- 1:20:43something that, you know,
- 1:20:43like we're not going back to.
- 1:20:47So, or, you know,
- 1:20:48like we're not going back.
- 1:20:49So we kind of have to stop with
- 1:20:50it.
- 1:20:54Did we lose Jamie?
- 1:20:56Bye-bye.
- 1:20:59Well, we're,
- 1:20:59we're having a fun time tonight.
- 1:21:01She must not have plugged in her computer
- 1:21:03died or something.
- 1:21:05Yeah.
- 1:21:05Um,
- 1:21:07Well,
- 1:21:08we skipped over so much on the YouTube
- 1:21:13didn't like her opinion.
- 1:21:17She went back.
- 1:21:19They saw her guns and then they cut
- 1:21:21her out.
- 1:21:21Yeah.
- 1:21:24I'm going to kick her out for now.
- 1:21:26Yeah, I don't know.
- 1:21:27I feel like her computer died or
- 1:21:28something.
- 1:21:32So anyway.
- 1:21:32Okay.
- 1:21:34We skipped a bunch of stuff on the
- 1:21:35rundown.
- 1:21:36There's a couple things I do want to
- 1:21:37hit before we get off the air tonight,
- 1:21:39and that is the leaderboard is final for
- 1:21:43the quarterfinals.
- 1:21:44Took long enough.
- 1:21:46Took a big hit.
- 1:21:48He's the only person I saw that got
- 1:21:49a penalty.
- 1:21:51Dropped him from first to thirty eighth.
- 1:21:54So Austin Hatfield wins the men's side.
- 1:21:59That's really everybody moved up one spot
- 1:22:02on the women's side.
- 1:22:03It remained unchanged.
- 1:22:04Kyra is officially the quarterfinal
- 1:22:07champion.
- 1:22:09So I wanted to touch on that.
- 1:22:10Do you think a minute penalty for one
- 1:22:12missed overhead squat is correct or
- 1:22:17excessive?
- 1:22:19I mean, it's excessive,
- 1:22:20but it's better than what they had last
- 1:22:23year.
- 1:22:23Last year, if you missed a rep,
- 1:22:24your workout was done there.
- 1:22:27And Rogue's done that too,
- 1:22:28where you miss a rep and that's it.
- 1:22:30Yeah.
- 1:22:38But a minute, I don't know.
- 1:22:41It depends on the movement, right?
- 1:22:42Like you miss a ring muscle-up or a
- 1:22:45legless rope climb, that's a big deal.
- 1:22:49A light, moderate overhead squat.
- 1:22:53At this level, he's going super fast.
- 1:22:56I mean, it's harsh, but also...
- 1:23:05Angie's back.
- 1:23:08You should also look at your video.
- 1:23:11What is the winner's purse for the
- 1:23:15quarterfinal?
- 1:23:15Ten thousand?
- 1:23:16Five thousand, four, three, two, one.
- 1:23:18Okay.
- 1:23:19So we lost five thousand dollars in it.
- 1:23:22Austin gains a thousand minute penalty.
- 1:23:27Eric Mackey penalty was irrelevant.
- 1:23:30Just needed to boot him out of the
- 1:23:31money.
- 1:23:32I agree.
- 1:23:37If they say the workout ends,
- 1:23:38you have to specify it in the rule
- 1:23:39book.
- 1:23:40It was specified last year.
- 1:23:43I haven't read this year's that closely.
- 1:23:44I'll be honest.
- 1:23:47I didn't love that statement.
- 1:23:49Was it Dave that put that comment in
- 1:23:53his story or whatever?
- 1:23:57Judges make mistakes.
- 1:23:59And yeah,
- 1:24:00I get that the athlete should have watched
- 1:24:01the video before they submitted a score or
- 1:24:03whatever, but Cara didn't get...
- 1:24:07everything taken away because the judge
- 1:24:09miscounted.
- 1:24:10Like that's silly to say that happened.
- 1:24:11There's tons of times that people get
- 1:24:13forty nine jump rope.
- 1:24:15It happens.
- 1:24:15That's like dumb to say that you can't
- 1:24:17move on.
- 1:24:20So.
- 1:24:23I agree with I agree with all I
- 1:24:24think it's excessive.
- 1:24:26I think that.
- 1:24:28It needs to be written better in the
- 1:24:29rule book.
- 1:24:30But at the end of the day,
- 1:24:32that video is your responsibility.
- 1:24:35And you're with proven.
- 1:24:37They have enough employees to have someone
- 1:24:40look over every video and make sure the
- 1:24:42reps are right before you submit.
- 1:24:45It's a simple thing.
- 1:24:47Yeah.
- 1:24:49I mean,
- 1:24:50I know individuals who don't have a camp
- 1:24:52and they check every aspect of their video
- 1:24:55before it goes.
- 1:25:00So.
- 1:25:02Anyway, what else do we have?
- 1:25:07I was going to do the WFP workouts
- 1:25:10because Carolyn's going.
- 1:25:12I'll pull them up real quick.
- 1:25:17Maybe.
- 1:25:19There it is.
- 1:25:19All right.
- 1:25:23Anything you want to touch on?
- 1:25:24Carolyn, what are your overall thoughts?
- 1:25:27I forget what the workouts are.
- 1:25:29One is twenty five toes to bar five
- 1:25:31hundred meter run.
- 1:25:32Fifteen overhead squats.
- 1:25:34That one reminds me a little bit of
- 1:25:36twenty twenty.
- 1:25:39Games part one workout that was like the
- 1:25:42Kelly like running was like overhead
- 1:25:45squats at that weight with burpees,
- 1:25:48but I think similar ish.
- 1:25:52Maximally said they should start
- 1:25:54programming forty nine to fifty one dubs
- 1:25:56in the event.
- 1:26:00i like this one i think that's a
- 1:26:01good it's a good first workout what's the
- 1:26:03weight on that overhead squat one twenty
- 1:26:05five that's disgusting i think i think
- 1:26:11it's good you have running in there you
- 1:26:12have a core and then stabilizing something
- 1:26:15above head with some core fatigue and high
- 1:26:18heart rate i think that's a good test
- 1:26:21uh two is the short ropes uh handstand
- 1:26:25walk pirouettes weighted double unders
- 1:26:29more pirouettes more rope climbs more
- 1:26:31pirouettes uh weighted double unders and
- 1:26:33it's a handstand walk with pure pirouettes
- 1:26:35not just pirouettes i like that
- 1:26:42Uh, event three is.
- 1:26:44Fifty, forty Cal row,
- 1:26:46twenty-five burpee box, jump overs,
- 1:26:48one legged.
- 1:26:49Oh no, not one lead a fifty dumbbell,
- 1:26:51goblet squats, a twenty-five burpee box,
- 1:26:53jump overs and fifty dumbbell thrusters.
- 1:26:59That seems very crossfitting.
- 1:27:00Yeah, it's a good workout.
- 1:27:04Uh, here we go.
- 1:27:06Uh,
- 1:27:06four a and four B one rep max
- 1:27:08stack deadlift.
- 1:27:13i'm not seeing the big smile yet i've
- 1:27:16never tested it like i haven't tested that
- 1:27:18in years um i don't think i'm as
- 1:27:22strong as i used to be on my
- 1:27:23deadlift i like cycling deadlifts more
- 1:27:25than one rep but i should have a
- 1:27:26pretty good one the echo bike is just
- 1:27:29gross
- 1:27:35Or one hundred if you're a man.
- 1:27:36The range in that is going to vary
- 1:27:38so much between someone that can have the
- 1:27:41power output on the machine to just sprint
- 1:27:43that in.
- 1:27:48Two and a half minutes for some of
- 1:27:50the females, three minutes,
- 1:27:51and then some of them are going to
- 1:27:52be like a lot longer.
- 1:27:55Do you think a seven minute cap is
- 1:27:57appropriate?
- 1:27:58Do you think anybody is going to not
- 1:28:00hit the seven minutes?
- 1:28:01People are going sub seven.
- 1:28:03Oh, yeah.
- 1:28:04People will be under that.
- 1:28:05I think it's going to be a lot
- 1:28:07of like in the fours for the females,
- 1:28:09like low fours to high threes on the
- 1:28:15female side.
- 1:28:16Like Rogue has done a lot of challenges
- 1:28:19like this.
- 1:28:20Like Taylor Williamson just did sixty five
- 1:28:22cows in two minutes.
- 1:28:25Yep.
- 1:28:26She's probably the best one of the best
- 1:28:28on it.
- 1:28:29Yeah.
- 1:28:31I don't think anyone in this field would
- 1:28:32beat her at that workout.
- 1:28:34So if she's doing sixty five cows in
- 1:28:36two minutes, you add ten cows.
- 1:28:40She would be in the twos, though.
- 1:28:42Maybe high twos.
- 1:28:44Yeah.
- 1:28:45Barry says stop with the winner at max
- 1:28:47events.
- 1:28:48I'm OK with it if this tour because
- 1:28:52really you have to remember this is three
- 1:28:54events all together as one big score at
- 1:28:57the end.
- 1:28:59So you're going to have six,
- 1:29:01six and nine events.
- 1:29:03So that's twenty one events.
- 1:29:05If you have a winner at max in
- 1:29:06a twenty one event season,
- 1:29:08I'm cool with it.
- 1:29:11Yeah, because it's cumulative.
- 1:29:13Last year,
- 1:29:14they had Olympic lifts as their max.
- 1:29:16They had a max snatch, a max jerk,
- 1:29:20and then clean, like separate.
- 1:29:23I wonder if they'll do the big three
- 1:29:25at the max bench at the next one,
- 1:29:28and then maybe a max squat at the
- 1:29:30last, something like that.
- 1:29:32I wonder if they'll go more powerlifting
- 1:29:34this year versus the Olympic lifts that
- 1:29:37they did last year.
- 1:29:39event five is one through eight ring
- 1:29:41muscle ups and eighteen meter sandbag bear
- 1:29:44hug carries I think transitions will play
- 1:29:46a big factor here especially for the men
- 1:29:51because like they can just hop on and
- 1:29:53not think about any ring muscle ups what's
- 1:29:56that what's the bag it's I think it's
- 1:30:05one fifty yeah two hundred one fifty
- 1:30:11And then the final event is twenty five
- 1:30:13power snatches,
- 1:30:13nine meter barbell overhead walking lunge.
- 1:30:17I like Randy like Randy's one of my
- 1:30:19favorite workouts.
- 1:30:20I like like barbell cycling.
- 1:30:22And that is three rounds for time.
- 1:30:24I left that out.
- 1:30:27With some lunges in between that separates
- 1:30:30just the grip a little bit.
- 1:30:33Max O'Malley said,
- 1:30:34Seth made it clear on Be Friendly.
- 1:30:36WFP is more concerned with a showcase than
- 1:30:38the fittest.
- 1:30:40I'm cool with that.
- 1:30:40Yeah, I'm fine.
- 1:30:41That's fine.
- 1:30:42Just don't mess with the CrossFit game
- 1:30:44season.
- 1:30:46Right.
- 1:30:46If you're an off-season event,
- 1:30:47be what you want to be.
- 1:30:50I don't think everything has to be
- 1:30:51well-balanced.
- 1:30:52If Rogue wants to be a power output
- 1:30:54event, be a power output event.
- 1:30:56If Wadapalooza wants to be a cardio
- 1:30:59workout and waterlogged cardio event,
- 1:31:03be that.
- 1:31:07I like the events.
- 1:31:08I think that there's some good events
- 1:31:09there.
- 1:31:11It's hard to tell until you see the
- 1:31:12whole season, but good events.
- 1:31:15I like them.
- 1:31:18I'm excited for you to be in this.
- 1:31:20I did apply for media credentials for
- 1:31:22Indianapolis at minimum.
- 1:31:26And I've mentioned this earlier this week.
- 1:31:28The one thing WFP did really cool for
- 1:31:30media is you could apply for everything at
- 1:31:32one time.
- 1:31:36That has never,
- 1:31:37ever happened in the CrossFit space.
- 1:31:40Every stinking event you had to apply for
- 1:31:43separately.
- 1:31:44This is,
- 1:31:45you could do it all in one fast
- 1:31:46swoop.
- 1:31:47And they said in one week,
- 1:31:48they'll let you know.
- 1:31:49And that way you can plan out the
- 1:31:51entire season of what you want to go
- 1:31:53cover.
- 1:31:57And that is a step to getting more
- 1:31:59coverage for your event.
- 1:32:03So that's really smart.
- 1:32:06All right, anything else?
- 1:32:10We kind of touched on athleticism,
- 1:32:12so I'm not going to do it because
- 1:32:13we're already out of time.
- 1:32:15I want to give that the due it
- 1:32:16needs to.
- 1:32:17So next week we will,
- 1:32:20unless something breaks big,
- 1:32:22we will do the Mayhem Recap next week
- 1:32:27and we'll do athleticism.
- 1:32:31We'll look at what John Wood said.
- 1:32:34And Hiller's rebuttal.
- 1:32:36Because there are key pieces that I think
- 1:32:38he made really good points on.
- 1:32:39Very good points on.
- 1:32:43That everything under three seconds in
- 1:32:46CrossFit is with a barbell.
- 1:32:50And there are different ways of testing
- 1:32:53that piece.
- 1:32:56With vertical jumps, broad jumps,
- 1:32:58triple jumps.
- 1:32:59Sprinting, agility.
- 1:33:01Right.
- 1:33:02All of that stuff.
- 1:33:05And so I do want to get into
- 1:33:06that because I do think that's important.
- 1:33:08And I do think we've lost our way
- 1:33:10on that.
- 1:33:12When did we ever have a way on
- 1:33:13that, really, to be honest?
- 1:33:15Well, I mean, we had a softball.
- 1:33:16I don't think it's really ever been tested
- 1:33:19that much, like ever,
- 1:33:20even in the beginning.
- 1:33:22It was tested in the beginning,
- 1:33:23but you weren't there yet.
