  Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.

• 1:00
  Sunday night CrossFit talk.
• 1:03
  I am so wore out from these hockey
• 1:05
  games this week that I hit the wrong
• 1:06
  button on the intro.
• 1:09
  But don't you forget to hit the right
• 1:11
  buttons.
• 1:12
  And those are like and subscribe.
• 1:15
  We are sitting just under three thousand
• 1:17
  subscribers.
• 1:18
  We have not moved in so long and
• 1:21
  we just need a few more subscribers to
• 1:23
  get over three thousand.
• 1:25
  Just a little bit.
• 1:25
  If you could hit that,
• 1:27
  it would be awesome.
• 1:28
  It is free, free to do that.
• 1:31
  Please, please.
• 1:33
  So.
• 1:36
  And on this panel is an amazing hockey
• 1:38
  player who who played in the great country
• 1:43
  of Canada.
• 1:45
  And then at Wisconsin.
• 1:47
  And her Canadian team lost not just once
• 1:51
  this week, but twice to the U.S.
• 1:55
  I can't hear you guys right now.
• 2:02
  Both men's and women's U.S.
• 2:04
  teams won gold.
• 2:06
  And for the men,
• 2:07
  it has been a very long drought.
• 2:09
  Forty-six years.
• 2:11
  Yeah, you guys need miracles to win.
• 2:13
  That's what you guys need.
• 2:16
  Hey,
• 2:17
  they say it's a rivalry between the U
• 2:19
  S and Canada and the games are hard
• 2:22
  fought every time.
• 2:23
  But honestly, Canada has been the hammer.
• 2:26
  The U S has been the nail in
• 2:27
  the Olympics.
• 2:28
  It is about time.
• 2:30
  We got our due back and got a,
• 2:32
  it was an amazing game, amazing game.
• 2:35
  And I've got more about that later,
• 2:36
  but I just wanted to get your overall
• 2:38
  impressions of the hockey games and the
• 2:40
  Olympics as a whole.
• 2:45
  I did not watch a lot of the
• 2:46
  Olympics, if I'm being completely honest.
• 2:50
  I watched so much of it.
• 2:52
  I love the Olympics, like,
• 2:54
  everything about it.
• 2:56
  I think it's because it was such a
• 2:57
  goal of mine my whole life.
• 2:59
  So, like,
• 3:00
  I've just always been tuned in to summer
• 3:02
  games, winter games.
• 3:04
  Yeah,
• 3:04
  I watched almost every single hockey game,
• 3:07
  that's for sure.
• 3:08
  And, yeah, it wasn't incredible.
• 3:10
  Two games,
• 3:11
  Canada-USA this weekend was heartbreaking.
• 3:15
  Um, but I was in the Canada game.
• 3:19
  I was honestly like proud of the way
• 3:21
  that the Canadian girls came out.
• 3:23
  Cause all year and last, last few years,
• 3:26
  USA has been by far the best team
• 3:29
  out of Canada and USA for on the
• 3:31
  woman's side.
• 3:34
  Um,
• 3:34
  and we just haven't played well and we
• 3:35
  just aren't as skilled and fast as USA.
• 3:39
  And then Canada actually was like
• 3:41
  outplaying us in the finals.
• 3:43
  And I was like, Oh God,
• 3:44
  like we might actually win this game,
• 3:47
  which sometimes happened.
• 3:48
  Like there's many years where us girls won
• 3:51
  every world championship and then Canadian
• 3:52
  one would win the big one,
• 3:53
  which is like the Olympics.
• 3:56
  So no, the girls side,
• 3:57
  I was happy of the way like the
• 3:58
  girls played and then also happy for,
• 4:01
  USA.
• 4:02
  I felt like they deserve the gold.
• 4:03
  Like they're the better team all year.
• 4:05
  So hats off to them.
• 4:07
  And then today I was feeling a whole
• 4:09
  different way on the men's side.
• 4:11
  Cause I know we are better than the
• 4:14
  United States of America in men's hockey
• 4:16
  and we outplayed them so bad,
• 4:18
  but someone played a hell of a game.
• 4:21
  Yeah, but in a one game thing,
• 4:25
  anything can happen.
• 4:26
  Your goalie stands on his head.
• 4:28
  We missed some very good chances.
• 4:30
  And yeah, I mean, three on three overtime,
• 4:33
  which is not the same thing as five
• 4:36
  on five.
• 4:36
  Anything can happen.
• 4:38
  You get a little bounce one way and
• 4:39
  it's a two on one.
• 4:40
  Go back the other way.
• 4:42
  So, yeah.
• 4:44
  So for our weekly Fergie question,
• 4:45
  it goes to Carolyn this weekend.
• 4:47
  Would you rather redo twenty six point one
• 4:49
  four times over next weekend or get a
• 4:51
  consolation prize of a plushie toy?
• 4:54
  okay guys this is embarrassing but this is
• 4:58
  my this was i said this to lex
• 5:00
  earlier this was my for you page on
• 5:03
  instagram today like you know like your
• 5:06
  explorer page yeah uh-huh it's all this
• 5:09
  like the little monkey yeah is that though
• 5:12
  is that the way they're talking about the
• 5:13
  the toy like the monkey one just the
• 5:16
  consolation team that got every every
• 5:19
  meddling team got
• 5:20
  Oh, I thought you meant the toy,
• 5:21
  the stuffy from the monkey.
• 5:25
  You meant the second place little toy.
• 5:28
  Well,
• 5:29
  second place didn't just get everybody got
• 5:31
  the plushy toy.
• 5:31
  Yeah, that white one.
• 5:33
  Okay, that's what it's called.
• 5:34
  I thought you meant the other,
• 5:36
  because the monkey has been all over
• 5:40
  Punch.
• 5:40
  Have you seen that one?
• 5:42
  Uh-uh.
• 5:42
  I only saw it on Lex's story.
• 5:44
  Oh, okay.
• 5:45
  It's been all over my Instagram.
• 5:47
  That's why.
• 5:47
  Sorry,
• 5:48
  I thought that you meant that little...
• 5:49
  I want the toy.
• 5:51
  Um, short Carolyn,
• 5:52
  I don't know the game that well was
• 5:54
  the Canadian coaches criticism of the refs
• 5:57
  justified.
• 5:58
  I know they had to,
• 5:59
  the U S had too many men on
• 6:00
  the ice one time.
• 6:02
  Yeah, they didn't want to call it.
• 6:04
  They didn't want to play a role into
• 6:06
  the big game, which I get sometimes.
• 6:08
  That was for sure too many men.
• 6:10
  But then we got a four-minute,
• 6:12
  which was deserved.
• 6:13
  I mean,
• 6:13
  the high stick right to the teeth.
• 6:16
  You cannot give four minutes for that.
• 6:21
  But then we also had a five-on-three.
• 6:23
  We got some penalties.
• 6:24
  I don't know.
• 6:25
  I thought it was fine.
• 6:29
  We had our chances to win the game.
• 6:31
  What I will say,
• 6:32
  as someone who watches quite a bit of
• 6:35
  hockey, the games this weekend,
• 6:39
  both men and women's, were phenomenal.
• 6:42
  Like, as good as it gets.
• 6:45
  And I texted to Carolyn and the group,
• 6:48
  the benches are so deep.
• 6:50
  And the talent on the ice is so
• 6:51
  strong.
• 6:53
  Normal hockey does not get played at that
• 6:56
  speed.
• 6:58
  There's so much talent in that game today.
• 7:01
  And on the women's side on Friday,
• 7:04
  it was completely blowing me away.
• 7:09
  No, two awesome games.
• 7:11
  I was on the edge of my seat
• 7:14
  for both of them.
• 7:16
  So fast.
• 7:17
  Such good hockey.
• 7:18
  But that's what you want.
• 7:19
  You want the NHL players to be there.
• 7:21
  And I get that there was injuries.
• 7:23
  I mean, Crosby didn't play in the finals.
• 7:25
  A few other teams lost good players.
• 7:28
  But...
• 7:29
  And I know the NHL doesn't like giving
• 7:31
  away their players,
• 7:32
  but we don't get to see best on
• 7:34
  best very often.
• 7:36
  And it is such good hockey.
• 7:38
  It is unreal.
• 7:39
  And every country has pride just for their
• 7:44
  country.
• 7:45
  It's so good.
• 7:46
  This year's Olympics,
• 7:48
  last year's Four Nations Cup,
• 7:51
  both amazing.
• 7:53
  I hope the NHL continues to do that
• 7:55
  for the All-Star Game because there was
• 7:58
  nothing better.
• 7:59
  Yeah, it was awesome.
• 8:00
  I loved it.
• 8:01
  I'm sad the Olympics are over because
• 8:02
  that's like all I watched for two weeks.
• 8:05
  So I want to get into this question
• 8:07
  because it was like the greatest hockey
• 8:10
  ever.
• 8:11
  And it is this pencil, pen or Sharpie.
• 8:14
  Olympic hockey does more damage than good
• 8:17
  in promoting the sport.
• 8:22
  Pencil?
• 8:23
  What damage?
• 8:24
  I wrote pencil as well.
• 8:25
  What do you mean damage?
• 8:27
  Then good.
• 8:28
  Can you explain the question?
• 8:30
  Why would it be bad?
• 8:33
  Because I think...
• 8:36
  And it goes to my follow-up pencil, pen,
• 8:38
  or Sharpie.
• 8:39
  And that is,
• 8:40
  it sets an expectation for hockey that
• 8:43
  good.
• 8:44
  And when you watch regular season NHL
• 8:46
  hockey or regular season women's hockey,
• 8:50
  you don't get it at that speed.
• 8:52
  You don't get it at that intensity.
• 8:55
  And, and so I think,
• 8:57
  I don't think it's all bad.
• 8:58
  I think that there is some bad that
• 9:00
  comes from it and mostly it's probably
• 9:03
  good,
• 9:04
  but I do think it sets an expectation
• 9:07
  that hockey is like this all the time.
• 9:11
  I mean,
• 9:11
  every game is not like if you look
• 9:14
  at basketball, you got eighty two games.
• 9:16
  Not every regular season game is as fast
• 9:18
  as playoffs, you know, like baseball.
• 9:20
  No one cares about any of the hundred
• 9:22
  and sixty whatever games it is.
• 9:25
  So my playoffs,
• 9:26
  like I think that's the case for every
• 9:28
  sport.
• 9:29
  I agree.
• 9:30
  But if you're a casual fan and you
• 9:32
  never watch hockey and you watch this game
• 9:35
  this weekend and you're like, oh,
• 9:37
  I got to start watching hockey.
• 9:39
  Your expectation is up here, up here,
• 9:42
  and it's not going to meet that when
• 9:44
  you end up watching it.
• 9:47
  That's all.
• 9:48
  And I do think it does more good
• 9:50
  than bad.
• 9:52
  So I'm not downplaying it at all.
• 9:54
  I think it's great that the NHL lets
• 9:56
  the people go,
• 9:57
  but I do think it sets expectations.
• 10:01
  And the reason I asked this question is
• 10:03
  because I wanted to ask the follow-up.
• 10:05
  Right.
• 10:06
  Which is... It ties in well, yeah.
• 10:08
  The CrossFit game sets the wrong
• 10:10
  expectations for what to expect in
• 10:12
  everyday CrossFit.
• 10:15
  And I said Penn for this one.
• 10:18
  I do think they're...
• 10:20
  Aaron and I were actually talking about
• 10:22
  this over the last week.
• 10:23
  I don't even know why.
• 10:24
  If it was one of Susan's shows that
• 10:25
  got us talking about it or what.
• 10:27
  Sharpie.
• 10:28
  Yeah, I mean,
• 10:29
  I would be willing to say that.
• 10:31
  Sharpie.
• 10:33
  There's still a level of...
• 10:37
  that like racing head to head,
• 10:39
  I think is what breeds the,
• 10:42
  the best adaptation.
• 10:45
  And so like seeing that,
• 10:47
  like you may not do those exact same
• 10:49
  movements.
• 10:50
  Right.
• 10:50
  And I think there's some still some
• 10:52
  movements in the games that some people
• 10:54
  have no business doing.
• 10:55
  Um,
• 10:57
  But when you see the race,
• 10:59
  I think that's what draws a lot of
• 11:01
  people to a CrossFit gym as opposed to
• 11:04
  going into Global Gym and doing their own
• 11:05
  program on their side.
• 11:07
  Working out next to somebody breeds an
• 11:09
  intensity that you just don't get
• 11:13
  otherwise.
• 11:14
  And so that's an expectation that you're
• 11:17
  probably going to get out of watching the
• 11:19
  CrossFit Games.
• 11:22
  I just think...
• 11:24
  It's so far from what we've seen in
• 11:26
  everyday affiliate, like one,
• 11:29
  the type of implements that are able to
• 11:32
  be at the CrossFit games.
• 11:33
  We don't see like in a class really
• 11:35
  like some of them, um,
• 11:38
  Well, if it continues to be like that.
• 11:40
  Yeah, I mean,
• 11:41
  you're seeing like the RX Elite version of
• 11:44
  every workout.
• 11:45
  And a lot of people don't grasp that
• 11:47
  there's a scaled version that you could do
• 11:50
  from that.
• 11:51
  But just by looking at it,
• 11:53
  you're looking at it and being like,
• 11:55
  holy crap, this is...
• 11:57
  I can never do this.
• 11:59
  But then I think people look at their
• 12:01
  bodies and then they're like, oh, wow,
• 12:03
  look at how fit these people are.
• 12:05
  I want to look like that without...
• 12:08
  understanding the process and all the
• 12:11
  volume and years of training and stuff but
• 12:15
  i say sharpie just in the sense of
• 12:17
  i think it's a false i mean it's
• 12:19
  just scary looking for people that are
• 12:21
  like i could never do that i think
• 12:24
  this is a good point uh david reed
• 12:26
  says sharpie saw the game started crossfit
• 12:29
  not built like froning felt like i was
• 12:31
  lied to
• 12:33
  Yeah.
• 12:33
  And when Carolyn said that,
• 12:34
  like people see that,
• 12:36
  see their bodies and come in and think
• 12:38
  that that's maybe going to happen to them.
• 12:42
  I can see that argument.
• 12:43
  I, I, I mean,
• 12:45
  some people have amazing transformations
• 12:47
  though, just by,
• 12:49
  so I don't want to say that it
• 12:50
  is, isn't, I mean,
• 12:53
  maybe not quite to that level, but like,
• 12:55
  I don't know that ever anyone's thinking
• 12:57
  I'm going to look exactly like rich per
• 12:59
  se, but like,
• 13:02
  You can get pretty – I mean,
• 13:03
  it's really the best expression of your
• 13:05
  body if you come in five days a
• 13:08
  week and follow the nutrition.
• 13:12
  Yeah, and I mean,
• 13:13
  if you go to any regular – like
• 13:15
  any CrossFit gym in general,
• 13:16
  like if you go to an affiliate,
• 13:18
  what the average –
• 13:20
  athlete is able to do there in comparison
• 13:22
  to the average person at a, like a,
• 13:25
  a global gym is so far ahead in
• 13:29
  terms of their fitness capabilities.
• 13:30
  Um,
• 13:31
  just capacity in general of the average
• 13:34
  member.
• 13:37
  Um,
• 13:38
  like with full range of motion techniques,
• 13:41
  not have lots that you see at global
• 13:43
  gyms, like everywhere.
• 13:44
  Yep.
• 13:45
  Teresa says,
• 13:45
  I haven't seen a sled at a gym
• 13:46
  in a long time.
• 13:48
  We used to do sleds all the time
• 13:50
  when my gym was small.
• 13:52
  The larger it got,
• 13:54
  the less we were able to.
• 13:56
  The classes got too big.
• 13:58
  We didn't have enough sleds.
• 14:00
  It's hard to like put them in the
• 14:02
  middle of a workout and not interrupt the
• 14:05
  class.
• 14:06
  So I get that.
• 14:07
  I get that completely.
• 14:09
  But then she goes on to say,
• 14:10
  I love the body type,
• 14:11
  but even cooler is the badass aspect.
• 14:15
  And I agree with her.
• 14:15
  I think, I think, yes,
• 14:18
  it sets an expectation that is hard to
• 14:21
  get people off of.
• 14:23
  Right.
• 14:25
  But also,
• 14:25
  CrossFit hasn't done anything when they
• 14:27
  broadcast the games in those dead periods
• 14:31
  to maybe talk about how this translates to
• 14:35
  everybody else.
• 14:36
  They're putting out some videos lately
• 14:38
  that do that,
• 14:40
  but they're not taking the time to place
• 14:43
  them in the broadcast where there's dead
• 14:46
  time.
• 14:46
  And it's just...
• 14:48
  an open camera on the floor or we've
• 14:52
  talked about this and it's like, you know,
• 14:54
  those commercials that they can put during
• 14:56
  the breaks,
• 14:57
  the masters CrossFit games and being like,
• 14:59
  look, these are the individuals,
• 15:01
  but look at what other people of other
• 15:02
  age groups are able to do.
• 15:04
  The adaptive athletes, the, you know,
• 15:06
  you show the peak of all of different,
• 15:10
  you know, divisions that we have.
• 15:13
  And then also sprinkle in, um,
• 15:17
  The Jillian and Nathan,
• 15:18
  the newbies coming into it.
• 15:20
  Newbies and just general people at an
• 15:25
  affiliate and their progress or their
• 15:31
  journey in CrossFit.
• 15:35
  I think the Reeds are a perfect example.
• 15:37
  David wanted to look like Rich.
• 15:39
  Judy was afraid of joining the CrossFit
• 15:41
  gym,
• 15:42
  thinking everybody was going to be like
• 15:43
  Jamie and Carolyn.
• 15:46
  Right.
• 15:47
  And so those that won't even step foot
• 15:49
  in and those who think they can be
• 15:52
  that,
• 15:53
  and they're the complete opposite ends of
• 15:55
  the spectrum.
• 15:56
  And that's why it's so hard to market
• 15:58
  it from that perspective,
• 16:00
  because the world is full of different
• 16:03
  people.
• 16:03
  Right.
• 16:04
  And,
• 16:05
  and you're going to miss out on some
• 16:07
  of them in some way.
• 16:11
  Right.
• 16:13
  Yeah, absolutely.
• 16:14
  Um,
• 16:16
  Some of my favorite videos are like these
• 16:19
  clips that pop up of people that are
• 16:21
  one, two years into CrossFit.
• 16:23
  And it's like, trust the process.
• 16:24
  And they show their one year,
• 16:26
  somebody doing AMET setups to almost a
• 16:29
  total bar or getting total bar.
• 16:31
  And those are like my favorite.
• 16:33
  That's what needs to be promoted.
• 16:35
  Eddie, I says,
• 16:36
  I'm a dude and I'd love to have
• 16:37
  shoulders like Jamie.
• 16:40
  Wouldn't we all?
• 16:40
  Yeah.
• 16:43
  Shanna says if they showed a short clip
• 16:45
  of a regular class with regular people,
• 16:49
  this is what it looks like.
• 16:54
  And so I think this is a good
• 16:55
  segue.
• 16:56
  CrossFit has put out two new series of
• 17:00
  videos.
• 17:01
  They're both two videos each.
• 17:03
  And they are Jillian and Nathan.
• 17:09
  Both people who went into a CrossFit gym
• 17:11
  overweight.
• 17:13
  and were looking for just some inspiration
• 17:17
  and to believe in themselves again.
• 17:22
  And I thought whoever produced them,
• 17:25
  whether it be Tyson or whoever put them
• 17:28
  together, I don't know,
• 17:30
  did an amazing job.
• 17:32
  One, the CrossFit nerd, Jillian,
• 17:34
  is so funny.
• 17:35
  She is.
• 17:36
  So funny in the way she looks at
• 17:38
  going to a normal class.
• 17:39
  It's entertaining to watch her,
• 17:42
  but she's real about what she felt and
• 17:45
  what it was like and how intimidated she
• 17:48
  was.
• 17:49
  And it's an excellent, excellent video.
• 17:53
  Matt Sousa broke it down today on a
• 17:55
  show where he showed all the great points
• 17:59
  that CrossFit put into this.
• 18:00
  And it was incredible.
• 18:02
  It was.
• 18:03
  The one piece I do agree with him
• 18:05
  on too is if they would have built
• 18:09
  the character for a couple episodes and
• 18:12
  then put her to the L one,
• 18:14
  it might've even been more effective.
• 18:16
  Yeah.
• 18:17
  I agreed with him on that point.
• 18:20
  And he said the same about Nathan as
• 18:22
  well,
• 18:22
  because they did one episode and then took
• 18:24
  them to the L one.
• 18:26
  If they would have let us in,
• 18:27
  let us stay in the real gym with
• 18:29
  them for a little bit longer and build
• 18:31
  that character,
• 18:33
  the going to the L one would have
• 18:34
  been like through the roof.
• 18:36
  Awesome.
• 18:39
  I agree.
• 18:40
  But I think if CrossFit keeps doing stuff
• 18:43
  like that and pointing out what it really
• 18:46
  is like,
• 18:47
  and my favorite line from the whole thing
• 18:50
  was the L-One instructor for Nathan who
• 18:53
  said, when you scale,
• 18:56
  you're not scaling just to come along with
• 18:58
  us and be that scaled athlete forever.
• 19:02
  Scaling is to meet you where you are
• 19:04
  and then push you that one percent more
• 19:06
  the next day.
• 19:07
  Correct.
• 19:08
  Correct.
• 19:09
  So that scaling can change and it can
• 19:10
  modify and it can get lessened so that
• 19:14
  you eventually meet the class at the RX.
• 19:19
  I loved that because I think that gets
• 19:21
  missed a ton.
• 19:23
  And Matt said it great with,
• 19:25
  we always reduce the weights.
• 19:27
  We always reduce the time or the,
• 19:30
  but we very seldom reduce the rounds and
• 19:32
  the reps.
• 19:35
  And he gave great tactics for leaving an
• 19:42
  open end where they could jump in and
• 19:44
  do more if they had some time left
• 19:47
  or felt like they had more.
• 19:50
  It's a great video.
• 19:51
  If you did not see it,
• 19:53
  Sousa breaking those videos down and how
• 19:55
  it pertains to coaching was really,
• 19:57
  really good today.
• 19:59
  Yep.
• 20:00
  They were incredible.
• 20:00
  It was, I was watching it.
• 20:02
  I've watched it twice through actually
• 20:05
  just taking notes.
• 20:06
  Cause I,
• 20:07
  there was so much that I want to
• 20:09
  like have my coaches listen to for
• 20:12
  coaching.
• 20:12
  It was so good.
• 20:19
  I don't know where this came from.
• 20:21
  Uh, but thank you.
• 20:24
  I even did my hair tonight.
• 20:25
  Thanks Ken.
• 20:26
  Thanks for noticing.
• 20:28
  I took Hiller's video to heart that we
• 20:31
  should like try to look presentable and
• 20:33
  not swear and not.
• 20:35
  I didn't even see Hiller's video yet.
• 20:38
  Oh, that's why your hair looks good.
• 20:40
  Don't lie.
• 20:40
  That's why your hair looks so good.
• 20:42
  I haven't seen it.
• 20:44
  Yeah.
• 20:44
  Julie had to go away today for a
• 20:46
  thing with a friend.
• 20:47
  And so I,
• 20:48
  I was cleaning up and doing some stuff
• 20:50
  around the house.
• 20:50
  I didn't get to everything.
• 20:53
  Yes.
• 20:53
  Where's the suit?
• 20:54
  Yup.
• 20:55
  Yeah.
• 20:55
  I did that earlier this week.
• 20:57
  You missed it out.
• 20:57
  You missed it.
• 21:03
  Judy we wonder if there will be more
• 21:05
  episodes with them I hope so I think
• 21:08
  Jillian is a star and I think Nathan
• 21:13
  is very open and honest too about like
• 21:15
  getting on a plane and knowing you're like
• 21:18
  everybody's worst nightmare I have thought
• 21:20
  that I have been in that head I
• 21:23
  know what he's saying
• 21:24
  It, it was so true.
• 21:27
  I hope so because they are real people
• 21:31
  and anybody in their situation can relate
• 21:34
  immediately.
• 21:37
  Yeah.
• 21:38
  I mean,
• 21:38
  hopefully they both continue to post
• 21:40
  their, I mean,
• 21:41
  they both have their Instagram and I hope
• 21:44
  they continue with their journey so we can
• 21:47
  follow along there at the very least.
• 21:51
  So Carolyn, did you see them?
• 21:52
  The video?
• 21:53
  I've seen the Jillian one.
• 21:55
  I haven't seen the Nathan one.
• 21:57
  So Jillian,
• 21:58
  the one where she's a school teacher,
• 21:59
  right?
• 22:00
  And she has to do the function at
• 22:03
  the school dressed as a turkey.
• 22:06
  And she has to like keep doing jumping
• 22:07
  jacks and activities for twenty minutes
• 22:09
  straight.
• 22:10
  And the way that the joy she had
• 22:14
  that she said she still had energy left
• 22:16
  when it was over.
• 22:18
  Like that was, that just really got me.
• 22:21
  And her classes on the third floor of
• 22:23
  her school.
• 22:24
  Yeah.
• 22:25
  It's those little victories that people
• 22:28
  don't always understand.
• 22:32
  Yeah.
• 22:32
  I love her.
• 22:33
  I love her.
• 22:34
  I think, I hope they do more.
• 22:40
  Clooney says the fitness industry thrives
• 22:42
  on before and after photos.
• 22:44
  I don't see many coming from CrossFit on
• 22:45
  the regular.
• 22:47
  What I loved about what Jillian said was
• 22:54
  she's not a before and after.
• 22:57
  She's her and she's now.
• 23:00
  And this is where she's at now.
• 23:02
  And she's going to keep fighting to get
• 23:04
  better.
• 23:05
  But she's not into the before and after.
• 23:09
  Like she's just focused on where she is
• 23:12
  in the present.
• 23:12
  Yeah.
• 23:14
  You got to enjoy the ride too.
• 23:15
  Yeah.
• 23:20
  Cause if she has a goal,
• 23:22
  if she has a goal and it's to
• 23:25
  drop like, that's a part of it,
• 23:27
  part of an issue, right?
• 23:27
  Like some people is fat loss.
• 23:29
  Some people is this number on a scale.
• 23:31
  So like, you don't even know,
• 23:32
  like it should just be what your body
• 23:34
  can do.
• 23:34
  It shouldn't be, I need to weigh one.
• 23:37
  Yeah.
• 23:38
  Two people at one thirty look completely
• 23:40
  different.
• 23:41
  Exactly.
• 23:43
  And so what if her goal was to
• 23:44
  lose twenty pounds?
• 23:45
  Then what happens when she gets that?
• 23:47
  I mean,
• 23:50
  like that's just you just you do you
• 23:52
  need to be focused on what is happening
• 23:54
  now.
• 23:55
  When I went through my big weight loss
• 23:57
  journey,
• 23:58
  my goals changed so much because I didn't
• 24:01
  know what was possible.
• 24:03
  Like at the beginning,
• 24:04
  you throw a number out there and then
• 24:07
  at some point the number becomes
• 24:08
  irrelevant.
• 24:09
  It was, I want to do a pull-up.
• 24:11
  I want to do five unbroken pull-ups.
• 24:14
  I wanted, you know, it was,
• 24:16
  you know what I'm saying?
• 24:17
  Like everything changes as you get fitter
• 24:20
  and fitter.
• 24:22
  Well, that's part of CrossFit too.
• 24:24
  Like there's just so many things to work
• 24:25
  on.
• 24:25
  You get one thing and you're like,
• 24:27
  what's the next thing that you want to
• 24:28
  work on?
• 24:30
  Like there's always something to work on
• 24:32
  and just developing new goals and new
• 24:34
  goals.
• 24:37
  Yeah.
• 24:38
  Buying a new belt meant more to me
• 24:40
  than what the number on the scale was.
• 24:42
  Yes.
• 24:44
  Right.
• 24:44
  Like it just does.
• 24:50
  Should be before pick and forever.
• 24:55
  Yeah.
• 24:57
  Vicki was married to the scale for years.
• 25:00
  CrossFit and the people in CrossFit,
• 25:02
  I learned the number wasn't nearly as
• 25:04
  important as what my body can physically
• 25:07
  do that it couldn't do thirty years ago.
• 25:10
  Amen.
• 25:11
  Yep.
• 25:20
  Where did I start from again?
• 25:21
  I was over five hundred pounds when I
• 25:23
  started.
• 25:28
  i forgot her name was jillian i just
• 25:30
  know her as when the nerds when nerds
• 25:32
  teach isn't it nerds who teach nerds who
• 25:36
  i i know it's nerds i was just
• 25:38
  calling her the crossfit nerd i don't know
• 25:40
  yeah that's yeah uh unless you're tia then
• 25:47
  the new goal is babies i bet your
• 25:52
  pregnancies go pretty well though because
• 25:54
  of all how fit she is
• 25:58
  Yeah,
• 25:58
  I think I have to give CrossFit an
• 26:02
  A-plus for these.
• 26:05
  The fact that the one criticism is I
• 26:07
  want more tells you they were good, right?
• 26:13
  If the only thing bad you can say
• 26:14
  about it is it should be more.
• 26:18
  But I don't even know what that expense
• 26:20
  would be, right?
• 26:20
  Like to have someone in the gym filming
• 26:23
  her, editing all that, and Nathan as well.
• 26:31
  I mean, they could just take her content,
• 26:35
  both their content.
• 26:37
  They seem to be documenting their journey.
• 26:38
  So if they could like pull clips and
• 26:41
  make a little bit longer form every two
• 26:45
  months or so.
• 26:48
  Or just collaborate on a post here and
• 26:49
  there just to see what they're up to.
• 26:51
  Yeah.
• 26:53
  I mean, I want it.
• 26:54
  I want it.
• 26:57
  I wanted more episodes.
• 27:00
  Jillian is a star.
• 27:03
  She really is.
• 27:05
  She could have her own show just talking
• 27:07
  about this stuff.
• 27:09
  It's awesome.
• 27:11
  So anyway,
• 27:13
  glad we got to talk about that a
• 27:14
  little bit.
• 27:17
  Jillian is absolutely hilarious.
• 27:18
  Very good storyteller.
• 27:20
  Something new is cool.
• 27:23
  Redefining success.
• 27:24
  Yes, all of those.
• 27:29
  Wayne makes a good point here.
• 27:31
  If you take a before picture,
• 27:33
  you instantly have an image in your head
• 27:35
  of what the after should be.
• 27:36
  Anything short of that is usually seen as
• 27:38
  failure.
• 27:41
  When you're trying to lose weight and
• 27:42
  you're obese,
• 27:43
  there are so many things that can feel
• 27:45
  like failure.
• 27:46
  So many things.
• 27:50
  It's really about a mindset.
• 27:52
  And really,
• 27:53
  I couldn't get over that until I went
• 27:54
  to a CrossFit gym.
• 27:56
  And I had the support group around me
• 27:59
  to not let me fail.
• 28:03
  Until my mindset got strong enough to do
• 28:06
  it on my own.
• 28:10
  And even then, you have bad days.
• 28:14
  So...
• 28:20
  Hopefully Jamie can relate to when your
• 28:22
  kid forgets something in the car and you
• 28:24
  have to sprint back to retrieve it and
• 28:25
  you realize you are not out of breath.
• 28:27
  That is a great CrossFit health moment.
• 28:30
  Yeah,
• 28:31
  I was Jim's coach at the twenty two
• 28:33
  CrossFit games and he forgot his swim
• 28:37
  trunks for that swim and ski workout.
• 28:41
  So I had and we were at like
• 28:43
  I think we're at the Holiday Inn,
• 28:44
  the one like across the road.
• 28:47
  So I had to run to the room
• 28:48
  and back and it was,
• 28:51
  it was a pretty good effort.
• 28:52
  Like I,
• 28:52
  it was up there in one of my
• 28:54
  like PR miles.
• 28:57
  I mean, I was tired, but I,
• 28:59
  it is nice knowing that you are capable
• 29:02
  of doing those things.
• 29:02
  It's,
• 29:04
  it's nice to be able to carry his
• 29:06
  bag and my bag and not be out
• 29:09
  of breath.
• 29:10
  And yeah,
• 29:12
  there's times I take some of that stuff
• 29:13
  for granted for sure.
• 29:15
  I've,
• 29:17
  pretty much always been a pretty healthy
• 29:20
  individual and in shape.
• 29:22
  And I take,
• 29:23
  I do take that for granted sometimes.
• 29:25
  Like when I'm late,
• 29:26
  when I was laid up for surgery,
• 29:27
  it's like,
• 29:28
  it's frustrating thing when you can't do
• 29:30
  things.
• 29:33
  Yeah.
• 29:34
  Good stuff.
• 29:35
  Let's move on to some other things.
• 29:38
  WFP announced the two champs are back for
• 29:40
  season two.
• 29:42
  I don't know why they waited till last
• 29:44
  minute to make that announcement.
• 29:45
  I don't know what it did to help
• 29:47
  them out, but they are back.
• 29:49
  My question is,
• 29:50
  does this help with the momentum going
• 29:54
  into season two or do you think they
• 29:56
  need a lot more?
• 29:59
  Like more big names or more different
• 30:02
  stories?
• 30:03
  More momentum.
• 30:05
  I just don't know why the process of
• 30:09
  the pro card took so long to release
• 30:12
  all the names.
• 30:14
  There was no consistency in the posts.
• 30:18
  The order didn't make sense.
• 30:20
  It just felt weird and to me almost
• 30:22
  disorganized.
• 30:24
  Yeah.
• 30:25
  Yeah.
• 30:27
  mean i i'm glad to see them both
• 30:28
  there and i mean i like to see
• 30:31
  competitions with more good athletes it's
• 30:35
  an opera another opportunity to watch you
• 30:38
  know the best or compete with them yeah
• 30:43
  i don't even know they've i don't even
• 30:47
  know what they could do to get gain
• 30:49
  momentum on their
• 30:51
  tours like caroline we're talking about
• 30:53
  tour stop one it's just not a great
• 30:55
  time for people like i don't know i
• 30:57
  don't know who you're bringing in that is
• 31:02
  going to be like gunning for this it's
• 31:06
  just it's it's a weird time if you're
• 31:09
  in around any of those semis oh
• 31:14
  Yeah,
• 31:14
  like I wish the tour one was early
• 31:16
  April.
• 31:17
  Basically, the open's done,
• 31:18
  the quarters are done right before the
• 31:20
  semifinals.
• 31:22
  I mean, I think most of them,
• 31:24
  like I think Mayhem's in April,
• 31:25
  but like other than that one,
• 31:27
  normally it's like May,
• 31:28
  June would be semifinal.
• 31:31
  So had they made one in April,
• 31:33
  I think that is in a better time
• 31:39
  than middle of the semifinals.
• 31:44
  The August one is fine.
• 31:45
  Even the December one is, is okay.
• 31:49
  Now in terms of like,
• 31:50
  in comparison to where the other comps
• 31:51
  are, just this first one is,
• 31:55
  and their qualifier is just,
• 31:56
  they're not placed.
• 31:57
  Well, correct.
• 31:58
  Phil B says the qualifiers also started.
• 32:01
  Is it getting lost in the open hype?
• 32:04
  A little bit.
• 32:04
  I mean, it's, it's this week, right?
• 32:07
  Like from whatever came out Wednesday and
• 32:09
  it's, they're due on Tuesday or Wednesday.
• 32:11
  So you get a week.
• 32:12
  right up, right up into the open.
• 32:14
  I mean, my,
• 32:15
  I would think most people would get them
• 32:16
  done probably before Wednesday.
• 32:19
  It's only three workouts.
• 32:21
  It's not like it's going to like mess
• 32:22
  anyone up.
• 32:23
  Um, but yeah, it's, it's weird.
• 32:26
  It's weird timing.
• 32:29
  Yeah.
• 32:29
  I mean, I looked at the roster.
• 32:31
  The roster is actually pretty decent.
• 32:34
  Um,
• 32:34
  they only lost four or five people in
• 32:37
  each on each side, um,
• 32:40
  from their top twenty.
• 32:42
  And we,
• 32:45
  at one point we thought so many women
• 32:46
  were gone and it turns out that,
• 32:49
  I mean, they got Ariel, they got, uh,
• 32:51
  Amy Kringle, they got Laura Horvath.
• 32:54
  So they've got some people in that upper
• 32:56
  echelon.
• 32:58
  I think it's,
• 32:59
  it's a competitive league and, um,
• 33:04
  But I think where they're at right now
• 33:06
  is it's a money grab for athletes to
• 33:09
  help support their season,
• 33:11
  and you don't see them hyping it up
• 33:13
  as their favorite competition.
• 33:16
  You see much more coming from the games
• 33:19
  and what they're putting out with the
• 33:21
  athletes than what WFP is doing right now.
• 33:24
  Yeah.
• 33:29
  And I mean...
• 33:32
  I worry about the challenger division
• 33:37
  getting enough.
• 33:39
  There are some decent women signed up for
• 33:41
  the challenger division,
• 33:42
  but I don't know how much turnover we'll
• 33:46
  have now that we've kind of got these
• 33:49
  twenty locked in who decided they want to
• 33:51
  go for it.
• 33:52
  I mean,
• 33:52
  I can see a few in both sides,
• 33:53
  but it's not going to be like last
• 33:55
  year because that was a completely
• 33:57
  different situation.
• 33:59
  Carolyn, correct me if I'm wrong,
• 34:00
  but I think I saw in an interview
• 34:01
  that
• 34:03
  somewhere that like liz wishart her first
• 34:05
  priority is to get into the wfp to
• 34:08
  support herself for a season then it's to
• 34:11
  make the games no okay she wants to
• 34:15
  do the indiana one for sure because it's
• 34:17
  close to where she lives i'm not sure
• 34:20
  about this first tour stop
• 34:23
  I think if you were to ask her,
• 34:24
  I think she would want to do the
• 34:25
  game season probably first or try to
• 34:27
  qualify for the games.
• 34:28
  But seeing as one of the tour stops
• 34:30
  is in Indiana,
• 34:32
  I just think it makes sense for her
• 34:33
  to for sure do that one and then
• 34:37
  possibly see what she can do in the
• 34:39
  first one to maybe build up some points
• 34:41
  if she wants to, you know,
• 34:42
  if she's already going to do the second
• 34:44
  one.
• 34:45
  then maybe do that.
• 34:47
  But yeah, I,
• 34:49
  I thought I heard it on Hiller.
• 34:50
  Yeah.
• 34:50
  I thought I heard that on her Hiller
• 34:53
  saying that they were going to,
• 34:54
  I don't know.
• 34:55
  It could be wrong,
• 34:56
  but he said something about her having a
• 35:00
  goal of getting,
• 35:01
  making a pro card to support herself.
• 35:04
  And then that way she'll be able to
• 35:07
  focus more on the games.
• 35:08
  Yeah.
• 35:09
  I mean, I,
• 35:09
  I understand the Indiana one makes
• 35:11
  complete sense.
• 35:12
  The problem is she,
• 35:13
  If you don't prioritize tour stop one,
• 35:15
  it makes kind of no sense.
• 35:17
  So you either have to decide you're doing
• 35:19
  them or you're not.
• 35:21
  Doing the one isn't going to cut it.
• 35:25
  yeah yeah i don't know i think whoever
• 35:29
  it was that said it whoever it was
• 35:30
  that meant it i do think it's a
• 35:32
  legit i do think it's a legit strategy
• 35:36
  to to go for the pro card to
• 35:39
  support yourself through a season then
• 35:41
  really focus on the games and just trying
• 35:44
  to maintain the pro card
• 35:46
  right well once you have it that's i
• 35:50
  mean it helps if you go to all
• 35:51
  three if you go to all three tour
• 35:53
  stops already you have a sick like a
• 35:55
  really good shot of keeping it you don't
• 35:58
  have to do any qualifiers you don't have
• 35:59
  to do like like you're in and you
• 36:02
  just show up and you're paid for yeah
• 36:04
  that's huge so
• 36:12
  Okay, well, that happened this week.
• 36:15
  The other news from the WFP was that
• 36:17
  Fee got a backfill pro card after she
• 36:22
  announced that due to a shoulder injury,
• 36:24
  she would have to take a step back
• 36:26
  this season.
• 36:27
  Right.
• 36:28
  And this is what I want to post
• 36:29
  to you guys is this is what happened
• 36:33
  with tennis back in the eighties.
• 36:36
  People were guaranteed money to show would
• 36:39
  lose in the first round,
• 36:40
  collect the money and go home.
• 36:43
  Now we have Fi,
• 36:45
  who at Copenhagen last year,
• 36:46
  and I love Fi,
• 36:48
  and I think she's a great athlete,
• 36:49
  but she's hurt.
• 36:51
  Watching her wave and go to the end
• 36:53
  of the lane and not do an event
• 36:55
  is a really bad look for the sport
• 36:58
  as a whole.
• 36:58
  Agree.
• 37:00
  And I'm hoping,
• 37:01
  I'm hoping that this is not what this
• 37:03
  case is.
• 37:07
  Show up, collect the money,
• 37:09
  and do the events you can do,
• 37:12
  and just wave on the ones you can't.
• 37:17
  Yeah, I mean,
• 37:17
  I think the August one should be able
• 37:18
  to do the December one.
• 37:20
  And then the May one,
• 37:22
  if you're doing May,
• 37:23
  then you probably I mean,
• 37:25
  she probably would have already had
• 37:26
  invites.
• 37:27
  She said on coffee pods and wads that.
• 37:33
  know some of the semifinals she turned
• 37:35
  down i think were legends maybe and mayhem
• 37:40
  um those ones are you know all around
• 37:43
  may area anyways so i i doubt that
• 37:47
  she would do may but then she also
• 37:49
  said that like if she felt good like
• 37:52
  she would do the online semifinal in june
• 37:54
  right like um
• 37:58
  So she has said that she may try
• 37:59
  for the CrossFit Games.
• 38:00
  I thought she said she's sitting this year
• 38:02
  out.
• 38:02
  She'd have to qualify.
• 38:04
  She said that, but then in her interview,
• 38:07
  she said that she's still doing the Open,
• 38:10
  like whatever that'll look like.
• 38:12
  Okay.
• 38:13
  Just to do the Open and be with
• 38:15
  her affiliate.
• 38:16
  Okay.
• 38:17
  Now her doing the Open,
• 38:18
  she's so fit that depending on, you know,
• 38:21
  you might make it through.
• 38:23
  Then she would do the quarterfinals.
• 38:27
  Again,
• 38:27
  depending on she's an athlete that would
• 38:30
  probably get an invite to a semifinal
• 38:31
  without even needing to place.
• 38:35
  Ridiculously high, and even then,
• 38:37
  like at that point where she health wise,
• 38:40
  like, I don't know,
• 38:40
  but if if by June she has enough
• 38:45
  that she could do the online semifinals,
• 38:47
  she wouldn't not do it if she feel
• 38:49
  like she could.
• 38:51
  so she's out for the season but there's
• 38:54
  an asterisk that like it's not like if
• 38:57
  she can she will like she's not gonna
• 38:59
  be like oh i said no so i
• 39:00
  won't do it like it just depends on
• 39:03
  how she feels you know it's like the
• 39:06
  retired athletes that aren't retired so
• 39:08
  i'm not i'm not really concerned whether
• 39:10
  she does the crossfit season i think
• 39:12
  she'll try if she can
• 39:14
  What I'm concerned with is the thought of
• 39:18
  going to the WFP events,
• 39:20
  collecting the money and only doing four
• 39:24
  of the six events because your shoulders
• 39:27
  hurt and still collecting enough points to
• 39:31
  move on and enough to get your money
• 39:34
  and your salary.
• 39:36
  I think she's fit enough that she could
• 39:39
  get enough points with August and
• 39:43
  December.
• 39:44
  Are the points doubled again in December?
• 39:47
  Not doubled.
• 39:49
  It's like I said.
• 39:50
  If there's the six events, six events,
• 39:51
  and ten events, you could get six hundred,
• 39:53
  six hundred, a thousand.
• 39:55
  That's why it's four.
• 39:57
  Depending on who's able to do all three,
• 40:00
  she still stands a chance to possibly keep
• 40:02
  that pro card.
• 40:04
  Or at least she would be making some
• 40:06
  money by doing the two at the end
• 40:09
  of the season,
• 40:10
  the August and the December.
• 40:14
  It gives her late in the year options
• 40:17
  to compete and still make money.
• 40:20
  I'm not surprised that she took it.
• 40:23
  If you feel you'll be good for August
• 40:24
  and December, why would you turn it down?
• 40:26
  This is not about her taking it or
• 40:28
  not.
• 40:29
  This is about the image that will show
• 40:34
  because they offer her a pro card when
• 40:37
  she's hurt.
• 40:39
  And last year,
• 40:40
  they allowed her to go out on the
• 40:41
  floor and compete in only the event she
• 40:44
  could and just sit on the lane bumper
• 40:48
  for the others.
• 40:49
  I don't like that as a look going
• 40:52
  into a competition.
• 40:54
  I'm not blaming her for taking the pro
• 40:56
  card.
• 40:56
  If it's offered to you, it's good money.
• 40:59
  Take it, enjoy it, do whatever you want.
• 41:02
  But the fact that then you're allowed to
• 41:05
  go like it,
• 41:06
  there's minimum work requirements at
• 41:08
  things like Alex Caron doesn't even get
• 41:11
  through semifinals because he can't do a
• 41:13
  muscle up.
• 41:14
  Like, and so we're used to that.
• 41:16
  Now the WFP is like, okay,
• 41:18
  as long as you can come back for
• 41:19
  the next event, you're fine.
• 41:23
  It just has a bad look to it.
• 41:24
  But again,
• 41:25
  it's this switch to a season total and
• 41:28
  trying to get the season points you can
• 41:31
  get.
• 41:31
  And now that they're going with real
• 41:33
  points and not finishing points,
• 41:36
  those event point finishes you keep for
• 41:40
  the rest of the season.
• 41:41
  But I think that's the point of the
• 41:42
  WFP is that like CrossFit puts all the
• 41:45
  eggs in one basket.
• 41:46
  You have one semifinal.
• 41:47
  If you make it through,
• 41:49
  you go to the games.
• 41:49
  If you don't, your season's done there.
• 41:51
  The WFP in their season or if they're
• 41:55
  in their league is,
• 41:56
  you can skip one and then go to
• 41:59
  other ones and accumulate points.
• 42:01
  And let's say you were sick in one
• 42:02
  weekend and you can't do it,
• 42:03
  or you were injured.
• 42:04
  Your season's not over because of that.
• 42:07
  And I think that's what differentiates the
• 42:09
  WFP in the sense that if you do
• 42:11
  have a pro card,
• 42:12
  you do have a little bit, um,
• 42:16
  I'm okay.
• 42:18
  They are allowed to do whatever they want.
• 42:19
  It's their league.
• 42:20
  But this is where I CrossFit fat says
• 42:23
  if WPFP becomes the free appearance money,
• 42:27
  it doesn't elevate the product.
• 42:29
  And then the original C Miller protect the
• 42:31
  shield.
• 42:33
  I think that's the part that,
• 42:35
  that has me wondering about this decision.
• 42:39
  That's where, when I said originally,
• 42:42
  even this whole concept,
• 42:44
  I totally understand the travel
• 42:47
  accommodations and like covering for them
• 42:50
  to get there.
• 42:50
  But I don't, I don't like love this.
• 42:53
  Here's money for a season.
• 42:56
  Like for me,
• 42:57
  every event should be merit-based and
• 43:00
  purely point like,
• 43:02
  If you want to ultimately pay out a
• 43:04
  hundred thousand, it should be.
• 43:07
  Twenty five, twenty five,
• 43:07
  fifty or whatever, thirty, thirty, forty,
• 43:10
  and that should be the places and people
• 43:12
  are showing up trying to get first place
• 43:15
  to get that thirty grand period.
• 43:16
  Like it's not like a like you need
• 43:19
  to you need to give them a reason
• 43:21
  to compete at that event each and every
• 43:24
  event.
• 43:26
  Here's the problem with that.
• 43:29
  is that just like the nfl when there's
• 43:31
  a free agent in order to get that
• 43:34
  free agent on your team you have to
• 43:36
  give them money and part of that contract
• 43:39
  is guaranteed money right but i feel like
• 43:41
  the getting to the regardless is the is
• 43:44
  the free money no it's not free money
• 43:47
  until you place no but that's what i'm
• 43:50
  saying the whole thing should be you pay
• 43:53
  people's way there to get there
• 43:55
  then they're there.
• 43:56
  They need to,
• 43:57
  they need to do something to earn more
• 43:59
  money.
• 43:59
  Like get them there.
• 44:00
  Perfect.
• 44:01
  I'm cool with giving them money.
• 44:03
  Get people there without giving them
• 44:04
  money.
• 44:06
  I, I disagree with that.
• 44:09
  Look how many people dropped out already.
• 44:12
  It's the people who have hundreds of
• 44:13
  thousands of dollars of sponsorship money.
• 44:16
  They don't need it.
• 44:17
  But you take away the pro card and
• 44:19
  you have of these top twenty pro cards
• 44:23
  they have right now.
• 44:24
  You take away that guaranteed money in the
• 44:26
  pro card aspect of it.
• 44:28
  Only half of them will sign up for
• 44:29
  a qualifier.
• 44:30
  All the money is still there.
• 44:32
  What do you mean?
• 44:33
  No, it's not guaranteed.
• 44:35
  And you probably have to do a qualifier
• 44:36
  now.
• 44:38
  It would be guaranteed all the way from
• 44:42
  first place to thirtieth place,
• 44:44
  the way they have it.
• 44:44
  If they are giving out a hundred thousand
• 44:46
  and thirty thousand at the bottom,
• 44:49
  the person in thirtieth has a chance of
• 44:52
  making more.
• 44:54
  And yes,
• 44:54
  the person in first probably has a chance
• 44:56
  of making less,
• 44:56
  but the person in thirtieth has a shot
• 44:58
  of making more.
• 45:00
  Isn't that already how it is?
• 45:02
  That every tour stop,
• 45:04
  there's a certain amount of money.
• 45:07
  And if you make your money cool,
• 45:09
  if you make more than what you were
• 45:10
  signed, then you get paid extra.
• 45:14
  I thought that's how it was.
• 45:16
  That is how it is.
• 45:18
  But the tour stops don't pay much money.
• 45:21
  It's really the finals.
• 45:23
  More than most semifinals.
• 45:24
  Yeah.
• 45:27
  right but in the season it winning the
• 45:30
  season means more than winning a tour stop
• 45:33
  well yeah and they're in their pay
• 45:36
  structure we're gonna have to agree to
• 45:40
  disagree because i don't think they'd get
• 45:42
  many people if they took away the money
• 45:44
  the way it's structured today
• 45:49
  And that means,
• 45:50
  that means that the intensity has to be
• 45:52
  there for those stops and every other spot
• 45:56
  during the CrossFit season.
• 45:58
  which means more wear and tear on the
• 46:00
  body.
• 46:01
  Right now, if I'm Ariel Loewen,
• 46:04
  I can go win a couple events,
• 46:06
  coast on a couple events,
• 46:08
  and still get my money and go home.
• 46:10
  And that's not good for the fans.
• 46:11
  That's not what people want to see.
• 46:13
  The fans have made it clear they don't
• 46:14
  want to see people just skate through
• 46:16
  workouts.
• 46:16
  They want to see people fight for all
• 46:18
  fans.
• 46:20
  They have good fans at the...
• 46:22
  At Copenhagen?
• 46:23
  Yeah.
• 46:24
  Even the first stops.
• 46:26
  We wanted to see people.
• 46:27
  I mean, I personally think those people,
• 46:30
  all these athletes, for the most part,
• 46:34
  want to take first.
• 46:35
  They aren't going out there not trying to
• 46:37
  get first.
• 46:39
  So it shouldn't matter.
• 46:41
  For the WFP to succeed,
• 46:42
  they need to get the best athletes they
• 46:44
  can get there.
• 46:45
  And the only way they're going to get
• 46:46
  the best athletes they can get there is
• 46:48
  to give money, guaranteed money.
• 46:51
  It is guaranteed money.
• 46:57
  We agree to disagree.
• 47:00
  Okay.
• 47:00
  Yours is merit-based.
• 47:01
  Mine is here.
• 47:03
  You're,
• 47:03
  you're going to make at least a hundred
• 47:04
  grand this year.
• 47:05
  James Sprague,
• 47:06
  you're making a hundred grand this year.
• 47:08
  So if you're true, so James,
• 47:09
  but James should know he's going to make
• 47:11
  a hundred grand in my, in my,
• 47:12
  it doesn't matter, right?
• 47:13
  Like James knows he's going to make a
• 47:14
  hundred grand your way or my way.
• 47:17
  I mean,
• 47:17
  it's the same thing for every sports team,
• 47:19
  basically.
• 47:20
  You pay a contract based on what you
• 47:22
  did the year before.
• 47:23
  Sometimes the athlete does very well and
• 47:26
  scores a bunch of goals,
• 47:27
  and then other years you pay an athlete
• 47:29
  and they underperform,
• 47:29
  and then maybe you renegotiate the
• 47:32
  contract.
• 47:33
  Or the athlete gets hurt and doesn't even
• 47:34
  compete.
• 47:36
  And then they're still there at the
• 47:37
  moment.
• 47:38
  And that doesn't work in this sport.
• 47:41
  Yeah, I know, Steve.
• 47:49
  Jamie is not agreeing to disagree yet.
• 47:50
  I know I'm trying to move on.
• 47:52
  She keeps fighting, but anyway,
• 47:58
  there it is.
• 47:58
  I have my own show on Tuesday.
• 48:00
  We'll talk about it then.
• 48:01
  We're not, she can't rebut me.
• 48:06
  Um, correct.
• 48:07
  Indie sports don't work that way.
• 48:08
  That's exactly the issue.
• 48:14
  All right.
• 48:14
  What's the next thing?
• 48:15
  Open lineups,
• 48:16
  open announcement lineups have been
• 48:17
  announced.
• 48:19
  So we have twenty six point one,
• 48:22
  which is down pepper.
• 48:23
  Jason Hopper, Colton Mertens,
• 48:24
  Austin Hatfield.
• 48:26
  Twenty six point two is the Europeans,
• 48:30
  which is Amy Kringle,
• 48:31
  Maren Von Rohr and Lucy Campbell.
• 48:35
  And twenty six point three is Daniel
• 48:37
  Brandon,
• 48:38
  Olivia Kerstetter and Ariel Lowen.
• 48:43
  That is a damn good lineup of open
• 48:45
  announcements.
• 48:45
  It's a good lineup.
• 48:46
  Every week is great.
• 48:48
  Every single week.
• 48:49
  Yeah, they really did a good job.
• 48:52
  So I ask you,
• 48:54
  is this the best lineup of athletes we
• 48:55
  have seen?
• 48:56
  And the reason I'm saying that is because
• 49:00
  every year I remembered one clunker week.
• 49:03
  Yeah.
• 49:03
  This one does not have a clunker week.
• 49:05
  I mean, when there was five weeks,
• 49:07
  there'd be one bad one.
• 49:09
  If you looked at the best three...
• 49:12
  Of the years where we had five weeks?
• 49:14
  Like the best three open announcements of
• 49:16
  the five that they had?
• 49:18
  I don't know.
• 49:19
  I'd have to go.
• 49:20
  I mean, it's great.
• 49:21
  But even those five weeks,
• 49:22
  it was always one versus one.
• 49:26
  This week,
• 49:26
  we have four in the first week.
• 49:29
  We have three in the second and three
• 49:30
  in the third.
• 49:32
  I like the mobile because it just,
• 49:34
  it keeps the race going.
• 49:35
  And even let's say,
• 49:37
  even if you're a third,
• 49:38
  you're still racing to stay in it.
• 49:39
  You know, when it's one versus one,
• 49:42
  it can.
• 49:43
  Yeah.
• 49:44
  You kind of check out.
• 49:45
  Yeah.
• 49:45
  You can kind of check it out a
• 49:46
  little bit.
• 49:48
  We can watch them.
• 49:49
  Correct.
• 49:49
  Yes.
• 49:50
  Open announcements are always on YouTube
• 49:53
  for sure.
• 49:57
  There was always a Matt announcement.
• 49:58
  I mean, like Sydney versus Rolf.
• 50:01
  I love Emily Rolf.
• 50:03
  And Sydney Wells is a great person,
• 50:05
  but she is not a top-ten athlete.
• 50:08
  Like,
• 50:09
  everything this year is top-ten athletes.
• 50:14
  Yeah.
• 50:16
  It's awesome.
• 50:18
  I mean, I don't mind.
• 50:20
  I like, I like watching the,
• 50:22
  when they do it at gyms and they
• 50:24
  bring out the average shows out before I
• 50:26
  love those.
• 50:27
  So I don't,
• 50:27
  I don't even necessarily need it to be
• 50:29
  the best athletes.
• 50:30
  I think there's something to be learned
• 50:32
  from all of them.
• 50:33
  I mean, that goes back to your,
• 50:35
  is it good for the sport or bad
• 50:36
  for the sport?
• 50:37
  If we're only watching the very best do
• 50:38
  them each week.
• 50:39
  Like I like to see more than one
• 50:41
  variation.
• 50:44
  Yeah, it will be.
• 50:45
  Yeah.
• 50:46
  It'll be very compelling.
• 50:47
  scores,
• 50:48
  like the people are going to be of,
• 50:50
  so the top,
• 50:51
  so other athletes are going to be more
• 50:53
  tuned into these.
• 50:54
  I don't know general public wise,
• 50:56
  but other athletes are going to be very
• 50:59
  tuned into these.
• 51:00
  That's the difference.
• 51:02
  Yeah.
• 51:04
  Uh,
• 51:04
  contrarian Jamie shows up strong today.
• 51:07
  She showed up last week and I don't
• 51:09
  know what she's been putting in her diet,
• 51:11
  but man,
• 51:13
  I just don't get to work out.
• 51:15
  So I'm just
• 51:16
  mad all the time we had a text
• 51:20
  today where i thought she was going to
• 51:22
  go off on me and then she stopped
• 51:25
  and i was like okay well you just
• 51:28
  like miss you just misinterpreted the
• 51:30
  first line of what i wrote yeah it
• 51:33
  was my fault for misinterpretation yeah a
• 51:35
  hundred percent yeah but i think it's good
• 51:37
  when we have disagreements because it's it
• 51:40
  makes it better why do we want to
• 51:42
  go do a show and everyone agree with
• 51:44
  everything
• 51:45
  No, I like it.
• 51:46
  I just hope that the fans like it.
• 51:51
  Vicky says hormone shift.
• 51:52
  I know it's me.
• 51:54
  My hormones are all out of whack.
• 51:58
  Okay.
• 52:00
  The next thing I wanted to show you
• 52:01
  is one of the people announced for twenty
• 52:04
  six point three was Ariel Owen.
• 52:07
  And I saw a video today that I
• 52:09
  just could not get enough of.
• 52:11
  Is it her bringing on one?
• 52:16
  It is.
• 52:17
  I love it.
• 52:19
  So.
• 52:21
  She's so good.
• 52:22
  This chick is awesome.
• 52:27
  Mercury is in Gatorade today.
• 52:28
  Is that supposed to be retrograde?
• 52:30
  Back handspring, step out, round off,
• 52:31
  back handspring, full twisting, lay out.
• 52:36
  Front handspring, step out, round off,
• 52:37
  back handspring, step out, round off,
• 52:39
  back handspring, full twisting, lay out.
• 52:44
  How cool is that?
• 52:46
  so cool and she said what did she
• 52:48
  say on there like some people it's not
• 52:51
  even cool anymore we all think it's cool
• 52:54
  Ariel it's very cool with trick inflation
• 52:57
  this isn't even cool anymore she was just
• 53:00
  mad that her hair clipped and stay in
• 53:02
  for all the flips Mark Phillips had to
• 53:07
  watch it a few times to make sure
• 53:08
  it was real I hope Dylan thanks God
• 53:13
  every day
• 53:15
  Well,
• 53:15
  Dylan actually tries a backflip on the
• 53:18
  floor, and he hit it.
• 53:20
  Oh, man.
• 53:21
  He's crazy.
• 53:22
  Yeah.
• 53:24
  I love when they just do, like,
• 53:25
  challenges against each other and do,
• 53:28
  I don't know.
• 53:29
  It's good.
• 53:30
  They're entertaining.
• 53:32
  They are entertaining.
• 53:36
  Yes, Carolyn, we're here for it,
• 53:37
  the disagreements.
• 53:41
  It's my fault.
• 53:42
  Jamie's clearly still upset about the hair
• 53:44
  comment.
• 53:49
  Ariel's new t-shirt is fire.
• 53:50
  I ordered one and hope it does not
• 53:52
  come in women's Excel.
• 53:56
  Yeah.
• 53:57
  I just had to share that.
• 53:58
  What's her new shirt.
• 54:00
  I don't know.
• 54:01
  I haven't seen it.
• 54:03
  And I watch a lot of her stuff.
• 54:04
  I don't,
• 54:07
  I saw she was like different font of
• 54:11
  her strong as a mom or whatever.
• 54:13
  I can't imagine Fergie getting a strong as
• 54:16
  a mom shirt.
• 54:16
  Yeah, so what's the new shirt?
• 54:19
  Is it just the lion?
• 54:20
  But that's not new.
• 54:23
  One other thing I found on Instagram today
• 54:27
  that I have to share is Did you
• 54:36
  see this, Carolyn?
• 54:39
  Colleges that sent the most Olympians to
• 54:40
  Italy in twenty twenty six.
• 54:43
  Yeah,
• 54:43
  I did know this because I know the
• 54:46
  men's hockey team has my my friend wrote.
• 54:50
  I don't know Ohio State, but on Wisconsin,
• 54:54
  Minnesota was second.
• 54:54
  But then tied.
• 54:56
  I mean, it's basically all hockey.
• 55:00
  I think there's got to be at least
• 55:02
  nine or ten.
• 55:04
  Only one behind Ohio State.
• 55:10
  It's the Hughes brothers.
• 55:14
  For us, it's all like women's hockey,
• 55:17
  like almost twelve.
• 55:18
  I think twelve of those are women's
• 55:19
  hockey.
• 55:21
  Is it just those top three that they
• 55:22
  list?
• 55:23
  If I'm a Wisconsin grad,
• 55:24
  I'm pretty pumped.
• 55:27
  Second most Olympians this year.
• 55:30
  That's pretty awesome.
• 55:33
  Probably first in hockey, though,
• 55:35
  for sure.
• 55:37
  I'm just saying he's looking for a hockey
• 55:39
  win anyway.
• 55:39
  She can get it every.
• 55:40
  Yeah.
• 55:40
  That's the best school for hockey.
• 55:42
  But as cross CrossFit says, Hey Siri,
• 55:44
  play free bird.
• 55:47
  I can't hear you.
• 55:47
  My audio is coming out.
• 55:52
  I don't know.
• 55:52
  Michigan state might have something to say
• 55:54
  about that.
• 55:54
  Carolyn.
• 55:54
  Well,
• 55:55
  there's no woman's hockey in Michigan
• 55:57
  because they are, um, against it.
• 55:59
  Apparently.
• 56:04
  Wow.
• 56:08
  That's been an issue for a while, though,
• 56:09
  actually, that they won't put a woman.
• 56:12
  They had a women's team.
• 56:14
  No,
• 56:14
  there was like this rule against like D
• 56:16
  one women's hockey in Michigan.
• 56:23
  What's up next?
• 56:25
  Open numbers.
• 56:26
  Open numbers.
• 56:28
  This was as of this afternoon.
• 56:34
  I lost it.
• 56:35
  Shoot.
• 56:36
  Where did you find it?
• 56:37
  Because I went to help and I didn't
• 56:38
  see any numbers.
• 56:42
  It's there.
• 56:43
  We were leveling off a bit, eh?
• 56:45
  Yeah.
• 56:49
  I think over the last week we've leveled,
• 56:51
  like started to.
• 56:52
  What was it on?
• 56:54
  It's in the story.
• 56:56
  I went to his stories.
• 56:57
  There was nothing there.
• 57:00
  one forty seven six seven four okay still
• 57:04
  twenty three point nine percent better
• 57:06
  than last year okay so that seems to
• 57:09
  still be holding level it's not doesn't
• 57:13
  seem to be dropping up chat gbt projected
• 57:15
  it at like two forty five to two
• 57:18
  sixty okay
• 57:23
  So the yellow is us this year.
• 57:27
  Right here.
• 57:27
  I don't know if you can see my
• 57:29
  cursor.
• 57:29
  Yeah.
• 57:30
  Right there.
• 57:32
  And so we're above last year,
• 57:33
  which is the blue.
• 57:35
  But we're still under all the other years.
• 57:39
  I mean, that's good.
• 57:39
  And it's not spiking up like the other
• 57:41
  years.
• 57:42
  Right.
• 57:43
  So that's what's kind of weird.
• 57:46
  But we're a week out.
• 57:46
  Hopefully that takes off.
• 57:49
  Man,
• 57:50
  it's got to be a good first workout.
• 57:51
  Yeah.
• 57:53
  Is it ten minutes like the leak,
• 57:55
  you think?
• 57:57
  You think it's ten minute AMRAP or a
• 57:59
  ten minute cap?
• 58:05
  That's a good question.
• 58:09
  If it is ten minutes.
• 58:10
  But I do like that time domain for
• 58:11
  a first workout.
• 58:13
  I do too.
• 58:14
  Sometimes I think the like fifteen to
• 58:15
  twenty is a little long for some people
• 58:17
  to want to do.
• 58:18
  Yeah.
• 58:18
  Yeah.
• 58:23
  I don't know.
• 58:24
  I think it might be,
• 58:27
  I think it might be a ten-minute AMRAP.
• 58:32
  What movements?
• 58:39
  I don't know why.
• 58:39
  I just feel like wall balls are going
• 58:41
  to be in it.
• 58:42
  So that week,
• 58:44
  there's no wall balls in CAP.
• 58:46
  The day before, they have clean and jerks.
• 58:51
  And the day after,
• 58:53
  I think they have running and legless rope
• 58:55
  climbs, so a pulling movement.
• 58:57
  Yeah,
• 58:57
  like on the – because they have it
• 59:06
  on the Friday, yeah.
• 59:07
  So two days before the Open on CAP,
• 59:12
  they have three rounds of a hundred
• 59:13
  double-unders,
• 59:14
  twenty-five burpees to a target,
• 59:15
  and fifteen knees to elbow.
• 59:17
  Okay, so no burpees week one.
• 59:21
  I mean, you would think two days before,
• 59:22
  right?
• 59:22
  Right.
• 59:23
  Three days before they have Cal Rowan,
• 59:26
  a back squat combo,
• 59:28
  but sometimes you could like sprinkle in
• 59:30
  things a couple of days in advance and
• 59:32
  maybe get the body ready for later on.
• 59:39
  But yeah, there's no, there's,
• 59:40
  and two days after the open,
• 59:42
  they have like a chipper Diane,
• 59:45
  which I don't mean,
• 59:45
  I don't think I will see hands and
• 59:47
  pushups anyways on week one, but.
• 59:50
  We just did nineteen point one.
• 59:51
  Yes.
• 59:52
  Yesterday.
• 59:53
  Fergie show says, well,
• 59:55
  balls and rowing would be a tall man's
• 59:56
  dream.
• 59:57
  I'm six three.
• 59:58
  Yeah.
• 1:00:03
  That says make the first workout fun.
• 1:00:05
  Get the man out.
• 1:00:07
  Get the man.
• 1:00:08
  I'm not sure in West.
• 1:00:15
  Get the people that are met.
• 1:00:16
  I'm not sure to come in to like
• 1:00:18
  make the first workout fun.
• 1:00:19
  Like get the on the edge people to
• 1:00:23
  join.
• 1:00:24
  Totally agree.
• 1:00:25
  I gotcha.
• 1:00:26
  Yeah.
• 1:00:26
  I'd like to see at least three movements
• 1:00:28
  for sure.
• 1:00:29
  I agree with that.
• 1:00:31
  The thing is, I don't know that.
• 1:00:32
  I mean, people don't love wall balls,
• 1:00:35
  but they technically they are accessible.
• 1:00:39
  Might not be fast.
• 1:00:40
  Like you might have to do small sets.
• 1:00:43
  So Vicky says,
• 1:00:44
  someone brought this up last week.
• 1:00:46
  If twenty six point three is at Waza
• 1:00:48
  and it's open to the community,
• 1:00:50
  do we think that it will be the
• 1:00:52
  Uber accessible workout?
• 1:00:53
  I do not.
• 1:00:54
  I do not either.
• 1:00:55
  If you're at Wadapalooza watching
• 1:00:57
  CrossFit,
• 1:00:58
  you are not some average Joe just walking
• 1:01:00
  into the gym.
• 1:01:01
  Yeah.
• 1:01:03
  I mean,
• 1:01:03
  that can easily be your normal workout.
• 1:01:06
  barbell whether it be thrusters or
• 1:01:09
  whatever with box jump overs and a rig
• 1:01:12
  movement like that can easily be set up
• 1:01:14
  at wadapalooza yeah do those athletes have
• 1:01:20
  to do it the announcement people on
• 1:01:23
  thursday wait is it is it thursday friday
• 1:01:26
  for the individuals yep okay so i okay
• 1:01:30
  then i don't think that they would make
• 1:01:31
  them do it twice like they'll do that
• 1:01:33
  and then the rest of the field would
• 1:01:35
  do it maybe right after
• 1:01:38
  Yeah, so apparently on Be Friendly,
• 1:01:41
  I did not watch this interview,
• 1:01:43
  but apparently Danielle does say they know
• 1:01:47
  what the process is for doing it and
• 1:01:50
  how it will affect their competition
• 1:01:52
  already.
• 1:01:53
  They're just not allowed to say.
• 1:01:56
  Okay.
• 1:01:58
  So they've been told how it's going to
• 1:02:00
  work for them.
• 1:02:06
  Fergie says,
• 1:02:07
  anything but burpees and dumbbell ground
• 1:02:09
  to overhead.
• 1:02:10
  Yes.
• 1:02:10
  Yes.
• 1:02:11
  It's been that for two years.
• 1:02:13
  I know.
• 1:02:14
  It's got to be something different.
• 1:02:16
  I mean, I don't mind that.
• 1:02:19
  I like them too,
• 1:02:19
  but I do agree it should probably change
• 1:02:22
  up.
• 1:02:22
  It can't be the first one.
• 1:02:24
  It needs to change up.
• 1:02:25
  Yeah.
• 1:02:26
  I mean,
• 1:02:27
  do snatches or deadlifts and burpees over
• 1:02:30
  the bar or something different than
• 1:02:32
  dumbbells, right?
• 1:02:33
  Yeah.
• 1:02:33
  Yeah.
• 1:02:36
  There's no double-unders in this week of
• 1:02:38
  cap.
• 1:02:41
  Could be double-unders in there.
• 1:02:46
  Could be.
• 1:02:47
  What was the ranch announcement?
• 1:02:55
  The happy star-ish burpees.
• 1:03:02
  That one?
• 1:03:04
  It's when Rich and Matt went head-to-head,
• 1:03:06
  right?
• 1:03:08
  Oh.
• 1:03:09
  And Ben, like Ben, Matt, Rich, maybe.
• 1:03:13
  Like the ranch announcement.
• 1:03:15
  They did an announcement like.
• 1:03:17
  Sixteen, seventeen.
• 1:03:20
  And it was burpees and thrusters.
• 1:03:23
  It's I think it was.
• 1:03:27
  Sixteen, five.
• 1:03:28
  Which was fourteen,
• 1:03:29
  which was fourteen point five as well.
• 1:03:31
  The twenty one to three burpees and
• 1:03:33
  thrusters.
• 1:03:34
  Yeah.
• 1:03:36
  Yeah.
• 1:03:37
  Rich, Matt, Ben, and Rory.
• 1:03:42
  Fun.
• 1:03:42
  I like that one.
• 1:03:47
  Yeah, it was Ben, Matt, Rich, then Ro,
• 1:03:49
  Boz, Dave.
• 1:03:52
  I think we'll see rings this year in
• 1:03:54
  the open.
• 1:03:57
  I'd like to see a gated workout.
• 1:04:00
  Like,
• 1:04:00
  you've got to get to this to be
• 1:04:01
  able to,
• 1:04:02
  and maybe some muscle-ups right off the
• 1:04:03
  get.
• 1:04:04
  Yeah.
• 1:04:06
  And I'm okay with that as long as
• 1:04:07
  there's enough play time in the,
• 1:04:09
  in before it.
• 1:04:13
  I really liked the workouts that are like
• 1:04:17
  the total bar, double under squat, clean.
• 1:04:21
  I think those are some of the best
• 1:04:22
  workouts,
• 1:04:23
  the one that Austin and Justin did,
• 1:04:26
  and they put it with Rich's video.
• 1:04:28
  Those are,
• 1:04:29
  those are some of the best workouts.
• 1:04:32
  God, I have the fitness.
• 1:04:34
  Scott should,
• 1:04:35
  plus program true RX movements that are
• 1:04:38
  safe.
• 1:04:39
  Yes.
• 1:04:40
  I will say last year as a plus,
• 1:04:44
  I thought it was scaled back way too
• 1:04:47
  much.
• 1:04:49
  And if I'm saying that,
• 1:04:51
  if I'm saying it had to be bad.
• 1:04:53
  Yeah.
• 1:04:56
  I mean, you just go faster, but yeah,
• 1:04:58
  it even like watching Jim, I was like,
• 1:05:01
  man, this is like, I mean,
• 1:05:02
  they took away their wall walk.
• 1:05:05
  They don't necessarily need to be doing
• 1:05:07
  scaled wall walks.
• 1:05:09
  I mean,
• 1:05:09
  the wall walk was over the line,
• 1:05:10
  behind the line, over the line,
• 1:05:12
  behind the line.
• 1:05:12
  Exactly.
• 1:05:14
  You didn't even have to move.
• 1:05:15
  That's the scaled wall walk.
• 1:05:18
  I know.
• 1:05:19
  I'm saying it was really, really easy.
• 1:05:23
  I agree.
• 1:05:27
  All right, next thing up is this week,
• 1:05:31
  for some unknown reason,
• 1:05:34
  John Young and Brian Friend counted down
• 1:05:36
  the hundred best women in the sport.
• 1:05:42
  And I got to star in the promo
• 1:05:45
  for that.
• 1:05:47
  I know.
• 1:05:49
  Because I think it's silly.
• 1:05:52
  I think it's silly, and of course,
• 1:05:54
  Jamie had to tell me I was wrong
• 1:05:56
  in a text.
• 1:05:56
  That's not how I said it.
• 1:06:00
  I said you care about those athletes
• 1:06:03
  probably more than most.
• 1:06:05
  Probably more like Brian.
• 1:06:07
  Way more than John.
• 1:06:09
  Way more than John.
• 1:06:10
  I do care about those athletes.
• 1:06:11
  That's all I said.
• 1:06:13
  My point is, ranking them is silly.
• 1:06:16
  I do agree with you on that.
• 1:06:17
  The difference between those athletes...
• 1:06:21
  is so minute yeah and it's all program
• 1:06:24
  dependent yep now the top athletes yeah
• 1:06:30
  there are stronger ones and not as strong
• 1:06:32
  ones and it makes sense but man down
• 1:06:35
  to a hundred is just you can put
• 1:06:40
  those names in a hat and draw them
• 1:06:41
  out and be as close as if you're
• 1:06:44
  picking them yeah
• 1:06:48
  So a couple of key things that I
• 1:06:50
  saw that I wanted to bring up is
• 1:06:54
  on this list.
• 1:06:56
  John Young had Carolyn Prevost at thirty
• 1:06:58
  seven.
• 1:07:00
  Brian Friend, who I thought loved Carolyn,
• 1:07:03
  had her at forty four.
• 1:07:05
  but apparently he hates her.
• 1:07:07
  No, just kidding.
• 1:07:08
  The comments made about her in the show
• 1:07:12
  were that she is so consistent and it
• 1:07:18
  is relevant for a master's athlete in the
• 1:07:21
  elite division.
• 1:07:23
  And John then said,
• 1:07:24
  she is the modern day Becca Voigt,
• 1:07:28
  which I thought was a huge compliment.
• 1:07:32
  For sure.
• 1:07:33
  I'll take that as a compliment any day.
• 1:07:34
  She's a legend.
• 1:07:37
  So I thought that was really cool to
• 1:07:40
  hear that and their respect for you.
• 1:07:43
  And to be seriously in the top forty
• 1:07:46
  as a Masters athlete is pretty damn cool.
• 1:07:48
  Agree.
• 1:07:52
  So they went all the way to a
• 1:07:54
  hundred.
• 1:07:55
  There were disagreements everywhere.
• 1:07:58
  I think it became clear that they both
• 1:08:01
  had different criteria.
• 1:08:03
  I think it became clear that they both
• 1:08:04
  had different biases.
• 1:08:07
  And that's an argument I made in that
• 1:08:09
  initial thing that was clipped by Hiller
• 1:08:12
  is we all have biases.
• 1:08:15
  If you work in the media in CrossFit,
• 1:08:17
  it's such a small community that we all
• 1:08:20
  know athletes.
• 1:08:23
  And that gives us all a bias.
• 1:08:26
  And the example that got shown in the
• 1:08:28
  Hiller clip was that every time I've asked
• 1:08:30
  Brooke Wells for an interview,
• 1:08:31
  she has turned me down.
• 1:08:33
  Therefore I don't root for Brooke Wells.
• 1:08:37
  Yeah.
• 1:08:37
  Cause I don't want her to do well.
• 1:08:39
  Cause I don't want to be told no
• 1:08:40
  again.
• 1:08:41
  Yeah.
• 1:08:46
  Fair.
• 1:08:46
  And then there are,
• 1:08:47
  there are people that give me an interview
• 1:08:49
  without me even asking like,
• 1:08:52
  and so that that's a different thing for
• 1:08:54
  me.
• 1:08:54
  Right.
• 1:08:56
  That's a bias in the other direction.
• 1:09:00
  So it was a fun thing.
• 1:09:05
  It was a topic to discuss and they
• 1:09:07
  got to have a full show on it
• 1:09:10
  and got to argue some things out.
• 1:09:14
  But I think the criteria need to be
• 1:09:16
  better because John had Tia Claire Toomey.
• 1:09:19
  Brian didn't even have her on the list
• 1:09:21
  because his criteria was if they're not
• 1:09:24
  competing in the next season,
• 1:09:25
  they don't go on the list.
• 1:09:27
  John's criteria was she's on the list
• 1:09:30
  until she doesn't show up for the Open.
• 1:09:33
  Yeah, that's fair,
• 1:09:34
  but they made a bet off of where
• 1:09:36
  their list ends up and
• 1:09:38
  John automatically messes himself up by
• 1:09:41
  putting seven people on this list who
• 1:09:43
  aren't competing this year.
• 1:09:44
  Okay.
• 1:09:52
  But I do love what, um,
• 1:09:54
  Hiller's doing with this channel and these
• 1:09:56
  like longer podcasts that he's been doing
• 1:09:59
  lately with coaches, with athletes, um,
• 1:10:02
  bringing in both John and Brian together.
• 1:10:05
  Um,
• 1:10:07
  Yeah,
• 1:10:07
  I think he's doing a really good job
• 1:10:09
  with that.
• 1:10:09
  I agree.
• 1:10:12
  Yeah, I like watching his interview.
• 1:10:14
  I didn't think I would see Brian and
• 1:10:16
  John in the same room talking like this
• 1:10:18
  for this long.
• 1:10:20
  No.
• 1:10:21
  In fact, it was just two weeks prior,
• 1:10:24
  I think John said he would never work
• 1:10:25
  with Brian again.
• 1:10:27
  Yeah.
• 1:10:29
  Kudos to Hillard for getting him to come
• 1:10:31
  out there.
• 1:10:31
  There it is two weeks later.
• 1:10:32
  There they are in the same room working
• 1:10:34
  together.
• 1:10:35
  It's crazy.
• 1:10:37
  I love the set that Hiller has designed
• 1:10:42
  and the sit-down interview.
• 1:10:44
  That is what I want someday.
• 1:10:50
  I want to be able to sit down
• 1:10:51
  at a table with people and interview them.
• 1:10:54
  Yeah.
• 1:10:54
  And that's what I'm going to attempt to
• 1:10:56
  do this season and record them and bring
• 1:11:01
  them back as opposed to worrying about
• 1:11:04
  getting stuff out super fast at an event.
• 1:11:09
  Yeah.
• 1:11:16
  I don't even know what that means,
• 1:11:18
  CrossFat.
• 1:11:19
  Your grammar is way higher than mine.
• 1:11:24
  What, the kayfabe?
• 1:11:27
  Or what are you?
• 1:11:29
  The kayfabe.
• 1:11:30
  I don't know what that means.
• 1:11:30
  I don't know what that is either.
• 1:11:38
  Okay.
• 1:11:39
  So there's that.
• 1:11:41
  That was a fun watch.
• 1:11:43
  yeah he did one today talking about the
• 1:11:46
  kill taylor uh show and how the views
• 1:11:49
  are going down and talking about how
• 1:11:52
  there's too much swearing how um the
• 1:11:55
  format changed of how he does it i
• 1:11:58
  think um yeah and was bringing just points
• 1:12:04
  on on that which was interesting
• 1:12:08
  I don't really know why they wanted to
• 1:12:11
  switch to this Taylor going second deal.
• 1:12:15
  Which, whatever.
• 1:12:17
  I mean,
• 1:12:18
  if you want to have the other people
• 1:12:19
  go first, that's one thing.
• 1:12:20
  But I totally agree that he needs to
• 1:12:24
  do it at the end of the show.
• 1:12:27
  I mean, people don't want to wait.
• 1:12:27
  You get the advantage of seeing the score.
• 1:12:30
  And if you want to try to keep
• 1:12:31
  the money, it is easier to go second.
• 1:12:33
  So I understand that.
• 1:12:35
  Yeah.
• 1:12:37
  But he's waiting, like,
• 1:12:38
  until the next week now?
• 1:12:39
  Yeah.
• 1:12:39
  That's what it is?
• 1:12:40
  Instead of doing it that day?
• 1:12:41
  And then it's not even guaranteed because
• 1:12:43
  there's been, like, too many – I mean,
• 1:12:45
  it hasn't been on Saturday every week.
• 1:12:47
  It hasn't been – hasn't even been every
• 1:12:49
  week that Taylor's been able to go.
• 1:12:51
  I think that's a bigger part of the
• 1:12:53
  problem.
• 1:12:54
  If he's not able to go that day,
• 1:12:56
  then it shouldn't happen that day.
• 1:12:59
  Whether he –
• 1:13:02
  let's so there's a big like wrinkle in
• 1:13:06
  this thing that isn't being talked about
• 1:13:08
  and that is that taylor suffered a major
• 1:13:12
  loss in the last few weeks right and
• 1:13:15
  with that that has put everything out of
• 1:13:17
  whack on that show and because of that
• 1:13:22
  i don't think you can truly judge
• 1:13:23
  everything now i've not seen hillary's
• 1:13:26
  video so i don't know what was said
• 1:13:30
  we don't i try not to swear on
• 1:13:32
  this channel i know right i i want
• 1:13:36
  to be more family friendly i want
• 1:13:38
  everybody welcome to come in um it doesn't
• 1:13:41
  mean i'm not i won't talk about the
• 1:13:43
  controversial topics or whatever i'm
• 1:13:45
  willing to do all of that it's just
• 1:13:48
  a decision i made a long time ago
• 1:13:52
  My mom does not like bad language.
• 1:13:54
  I respect my mother.
• 1:13:55
  She watches this show.
• 1:13:57
  I'm not going to swear because I'm going
• 1:13:59
  to respect her wishes.
• 1:14:00
  And I know there are a ton of
• 1:14:02
  people like her.
• 1:14:05
  And so that's my decision.
• 1:14:08
  They decide they can swear.
• 1:14:09
  I've watched their show.
• 1:14:11
  I can't sit here and criticize it because
• 1:14:15
  I watch it.
• 1:14:16
  But
• 1:14:20
  It's a choice you make when you make
• 1:14:21
  these shows, which route you want to go.
• 1:14:24
  I'm anxious now to see the Hiller video
• 1:14:28
  and what he said, because I don't know.
• 1:14:30
  I'm flying blind on this one.
• 1:14:33
  he just went over his views.
• 1:14:34
  Like he pulled up the analytics and just
• 1:14:35
  showed, you know, the numbers of watching.
• 1:14:38
  And if you get on and watch, sure.
• 1:14:41
  Could the language be a part of people
• 1:14:42
  not watching?
• 1:14:43
  I guess that's maybe an argument,
• 1:14:45
  but like people watch the entire season
• 1:14:47
  last year, pretty heavily.
• 1:14:49
  Yeah.
• 1:14:50
  with the same language.
• 1:14:51
  I don't know that I would agree,
• 1:14:52
  like say,
• 1:14:53
  and I don't even know that Hiller was
• 1:14:55
  trying to say that that was the,
• 1:14:56
  I mean,
• 1:14:56
  I think it's just the new format that
• 1:14:58
  it's not necessarily consistent,
• 1:15:00
  which sure there's some background to
• 1:15:01
  that.
• 1:15:03
  But I think the bigger thing is that
• 1:15:05
  people don't,
• 1:15:06
  they have to wait a week to see
• 1:15:07
  the results.
• 1:15:08
  And that's that like you lose,
• 1:15:10
  you just lose people to that.
• 1:15:12
  Like people get on and they want to
• 1:15:14
  see it happen.
• 1:15:15
  So sure, let them call in first.
• 1:15:17
  I'm cool with that.
• 1:15:17
  You going second.
• 1:15:19
  I just I think I hope they look
• 1:15:20
  at that as an option.
• 1:15:22
  But you also, in this world of creating,
• 1:15:26
  you have to not be stagnant too, right?
• 1:15:29
  You have to try new things.
• 1:15:31
  And I think they were, he was,
• 1:15:34
  the pot was never growing very big last
• 1:15:36
  season.
• 1:15:37
  Because the Coltons and the Yellows and
• 1:15:41
  the Victor Hoffers were calling in and
• 1:15:43
  taking the money.
• 1:15:45
  This way,
• 1:15:45
  it gives Taylor a better shot to defend
• 1:15:48
  the money.
• 1:15:49
  And the pots, frankly,
• 1:15:50
  are growing higher this year than last
• 1:15:52
  year.
• 1:15:53
  And it's data for them to look at
• 1:15:56
  and maybe redesign next year.
• 1:16:02
  Yeah.
• 1:16:06
  So...
• 1:16:10
  I'm not going to be critical of anybody
• 1:16:11
  trying something new in this space because
• 1:16:13
  it's hard.
• 1:16:14
  It's hard every day to create and come
• 1:16:16
  up with new ways of doing things and
• 1:16:18
  not being stagnant.
• 1:16:22
  But I am really excited to see Hiller's
• 1:16:24
  video because when he does these things,
• 1:16:27
  it's always a teaching moment for me as
• 1:16:29
  well.
• 1:16:32
  It's a good video.
• 1:16:32
  You'll like it.
• 1:16:32
  So I'm anxious to see that.
• 1:16:38
  So, okay.
• 1:16:39
  What else do we have?
• 1:16:46
  News.
• 1:16:48
  I didn't,
• 1:16:48
  but we've already kind of talked about it.
• 1:16:51
  So Fittest on Earth is twenty twenty five
• 1:16:55
  to be released March third.
• 1:16:57
  Have you guys seen the trailer?
• 1:16:58
  No.
• 1:16:58
  It's awesome.
• 1:17:01
  It's really good.
• 1:17:02
  I'll.
• 1:17:05
  I'll pull it up while you guys talk.
• 1:17:08
  Carolyn, what'd you think of it?
• 1:17:10
  I mean, I'm excited to see,
• 1:17:12
  it looks like a different type of format
• 1:17:14
  than what we've seen in the past.
• 1:17:16
  Like there's just the way that it's being
• 1:17:19
  presented feels different than the other
• 1:17:24
  like fittest on earth documentaries.
• 1:17:26
  Is it a different production company?
• 1:17:28
  It has to be because there's a different
• 1:17:30
  feel to it.
• 1:17:30
  Yeah.
• 1:17:33
  Yeah.
• 1:17:38
  I think it's a different company.
• 1:17:41
  I think it's internal,
• 1:17:42
  but it's a different group doing it.
• 1:17:44
  Okay.
• 1:17:44
  All right.
• 1:17:47
  Here is the trailer.
• 1:17:49
  So Jamie can see it.
• 1:17:55
  Being in the tunnel.
• 1:17:57
  Scared.
• 1:17:58
  Just reminding myself that if I don't win
• 1:18:01
  the CrossFit Games.
• 1:18:04
  I'm sorry.
• 1:18:04
  It's choppy.
• 1:18:07
  i think i did see these first never
• 1:18:09
  gonna be able to get over this well
• 1:18:15
  i guess you're not gonna see it i
• 1:18:17
  i saw this part of hopper is it
• 1:18:18
  just hopper no no no no it's it's
• 1:18:22
  longer then i just saw the hopper this
• 1:18:28
  is the tightest race we have ever had
• 1:18:30
  in the history of the crossfit game
• 1:18:37
  The CrossFit Games are the ultimate test
• 1:18:40
  to find the fittest on Earth.
• 1:18:43
  It's being Superman,
• 1:18:44
  and the CrossFit Games find Superman the
• 1:18:46
  Superwoman.
• 1:18:46
  The Games is not just ten workouts that
• 1:18:53
  we're doing for fun.
• 1:18:54
  The Games is a grueling test.
• 1:18:57
  This could be a make-or-break event for
• 1:19:00
  everyone's podium hopes.
• 1:19:01
  That was the point where I was like,
• 1:19:02
  people are gonna be loving this.
• 1:19:06
  I even said it on the radio to
• 1:19:07
  my head judges.
• 1:19:08
  I was like, hey,
• 1:19:09
  I think we're in the CrossFit Games now.
• 1:19:11
  Like, this is it.
• 1:19:11
  I feel like if I'm not competing,
• 1:19:17
  I have to say goodbye.
• 1:19:20
  Tia's trying to balance,
• 1:19:21
  am I still the competitor that I used
• 1:19:23
  to be?
• 1:19:24
  Disaster!
• 1:19:24
  Unbelievable!
• 1:19:33
  This workout is my crossfit news.
• 1:19:40
  Online.
• 1:19:40
  Who will be crowned the fittest on earth?
• 1:19:49
  When did you say it comes out?
• 1:19:51
  March third.
• 1:19:53
  See,
• 1:19:53
  I wish they would time it to release
• 1:19:55
  it before the open,
• 1:19:57
  get people fired up about the documentary.
• 1:20:01
  And then it's like,
• 1:20:03
  this season like the season starts yeah
• 1:20:05
  right now sign up yep anyone can do
• 1:20:08
  it if you want to go here this
• 1:20:09
  is where it starts like that's why
• 1:20:14
  streaming company what's that i think
• 1:20:17
  they're at the mercy of apple because
• 1:20:19
  that's where it's being released they
• 1:20:23
  probably didn't get it too bad it's too
• 1:20:24
  bad yeah um it's so close from being
• 1:20:30
  the right timing
• 1:20:33
  So here are my thoughts.
• 1:20:36
  One, first and foremost,
• 1:20:37
  when the first trailer came out,
• 1:20:38
  I was really geeked.
• 1:20:40
  The second trailer came out,
• 1:20:42
  I thought it was really good,
• 1:20:43
  and I'm always going to purchase these.
• 1:20:46
  But I'm with CrossFat.
• 1:20:48
  It feels very similar to the old ones
• 1:20:50
  to me, like the voiceover, the announcers,
• 1:20:52
  then voiceover, then slow-mo.
• 1:20:55
  But all we're getting is a clip.
• 1:20:56
  Yeah.
• 1:20:56
  Yeah.
• 1:20:57
  To me, it's going to be,
• 1:20:58
  is it more than five athletes for this
• 1:21:02
  hour and a half?
• 1:21:04
  That's what I want to see.
• 1:21:06
  And I've heard that it is.
• 1:21:08
  I just haven't seen anything to prove that
• 1:21:10
  to me yet.
• 1:21:12
  See, I think it's going to be different.
• 1:21:15
  I think it feels different.
• 1:21:17
  I feel like it's going to be different.
• 1:21:19
  Okay.
• 1:21:22
  My other thing is,
• 1:21:24
  why do we keep releasing on Apple?
• 1:21:26
  why can't we fight to get like a
• 1:21:28
  Netflix or now I know like on Netflix,
• 1:21:32
  you can't purchase it,
• 1:21:33
  but they always do well on Netflix.
• 1:21:36
  So I would think Netflix would want to
• 1:21:38
  pay for that and update it more,
• 1:21:42
  get to a wider audience.
• 1:21:46
  I buy it on iTunes.
• 1:21:47
  And then like, I,
• 1:21:49
  I usually store all my bought stuff on
• 1:21:51
  Amazon and,
• 1:21:52
  Now I got to go to iTunes to
• 1:21:53
  watch this.
• 1:21:54
  All my fittest on earth are on iTunes.
• 1:21:57
  I never go to iTunes.
• 1:21:59
  Like it just is, it's cumbersome.
• 1:22:03
  And Netflix doesn't give you your metrics.
• 1:22:08
  Do we need metrics if people are watching
• 1:22:10
  it though?
• 1:22:11
  Like what is the goal with the video?
• 1:22:15
  Is the goal of the video to make
• 1:22:16
  money?
• 1:22:17
  Or is the goal of the video to
• 1:22:19
  grow the methodology and the sport?
• 1:22:22
  Yeah.
• 1:22:23
  Yeah.
• 1:22:23
  And get people in the affiliates.
• 1:22:25
  Right.
• 1:22:26
  And I think the Netflix is where like
• 1:22:30
  the net,
• 1:22:30
  like putting it on Netflix would do that.
• 1:22:34
  It did it before for us.
• 1:22:36
  Wonder if going to Apple makes it easier
• 1:22:38
  to go to Amazon prime video.
• 1:22:39
  I think we got to get out of
• 1:22:41
  the way of selling the video.
• 1:22:44
  Why does it need to be sold?
• 1:22:46
  It's, is it a moneymaker?
• 1:22:48
  Is it that big of a moneymaker?
• 1:22:49
  Yeah.
• 1:22:51
  Or do we want like a bigger audience?
• 1:23:03
  And Sousa proves he's the smartest in the
• 1:23:05
  room again.
• 1:23:07
  It's a media rights issue.
• 1:23:08
  Netflix would need to own it and strike
• 1:23:09
  a deal with CrossFit.
• 1:23:11
  Yeah,
• 1:23:11
  that would suck if they owned it then.
• 1:23:13
  That would.
• 1:23:21
  um so yeah we got nothing for you
• 1:23:27
  there i think the priority if they owned
• 1:23:30
  it what like what would that entail us
• 1:23:33
  losing i mean it still would get viewed
• 1:23:37
  yeah i i still think the priority what's
• 1:23:40
  the like negative part with that besides i
• 1:23:43
  guess us not owning it but
• 1:23:44
  I can see your guys' point with that.
• 1:23:46
  Is that truly a bad thing if it
• 1:23:49
  reaches a bigger audience?
• 1:23:52
  People don't want to pay for things.
• 1:23:54
  They already paid for X, Y,
• 1:23:56
  and Z subscription.
• 1:23:58
  If it's there,
• 1:23:58
  they'll watch it and then they'll talk
• 1:24:00
  about it and then it just gets a
• 1:24:02
  bunch of views.
• 1:24:07
  He agrees with our point.
• 1:24:08
  And that is it.
• 1:24:11
  I just don't understand.
• 1:24:12
  It can't be that big of a moneymaker
• 1:24:13
  that you would have to sell it.
• 1:24:17
  And with you guys,
• 1:24:18
  we pay for the Open.
• 1:24:19
  We pay for quarterfinals.
• 1:24:21
  We pay to go to these events.
• 1:24:23
  The semifinals are so expensive now.
• 1:24:27
  Why do you need to pay for that?
• 1:24:33
  Yeah.
• 1:24:40
  Y'all and I have two,
• 1:24:41
  I've bought every single one of them,
• 1:24:44
  but they've,
• 1:24:45
  they've got CrossFitters buying.
• 1:24:47
  It's not like you're not getting as many
• 1:24:49
  outside people buying it.
• 1:24:57
  And then there's just people.
• 1:25:02
  Yeah.
• 1:25:02
  Yeah.
• 1:25:04
  Okay.
• 1:25:06
  Other news of the week.
• 1:25:07
  Debbie O'Connell could see jail time for
• 1:25:10
  lying about her disability.
• 1:25:11
  Crazy.
• 1:25:13
  One point I want to make about this.
• 1:25:15
  She won the twenty twenty five adaptive
• 1:25:17
  CrossFit Games for one point upper.
• 1:25:20
  She came in second in twenty twenty four.
• 1:25:23
  I thought Kevin Ogar was great on the
• 1:25:28
  CrossFit Network's CrossFit show talking
• 1:25:31
  about they need to see more concrete
• 1:25:35
  evidence before they make a decision.
• 1:25:40
  They have a very small community.
• 1:25:42
  They go through some due diligence.
• 1:25:44
  And just because people are accusing her
• 1:25:47
  of this doesn't mean that that's exactly
• 1:25:49
  what's happened.
• 1:25:50
  And they want to see concrete evidence.
• 1:25:54
  He said,
• 1:25:55
  we hear rumors about athletes all the
• 1:25:57
  time.
• 1:25:58
  And if we acted on every single rumor,
• 1:26:02
  we would have no athletes left.
• 1:26:05
  So I thought he was great with that.
• 1:26:12
  CrossFat says, Kevin,
• 1:26:13
  definitely talk to a lawyer first.
• 1:26:15
  He'd be the first to crack a joke
• 1:26:16
  otherwise.
• 1:26:17
  Hey, in this case,
• 1:26:19
  I think talking to a lawyer is probably
• 1:26:20
  a smart move.
• 1:26:26
  The next thing is Oslo Krieger are back.
• 1:26:29
  The descending champs are back with a new
• 1:26:32
  member who is so famous,
• 1:26:35
  he just goes by his initials.
• 1:26:38
  And that's BKG.
• 1:26:42
  Were the other three on the team last
• 1:26:45
  year that won?
• 1:26:46
  Because I know Kristen, Tola, was it Ota?
• 1:26:50
  It was Ota, yeah.
• 1:26:50
  Okay, so it's just the one replacement.
• 1:26:54
  Which Kristen was the backfill.
• 1:26:58
  I mean, Kristen's never a backfill.
• 1:26:59
  I know.
• 1:27:01
  She was retired and stepped in.
• 1:27:03
  Right.
• 1:27:04
  Kristen could compete anytime and probably
• 1:27:08
  make the individual games.
• 1:27:09
  Yeah, this is exciting.
• 1:27:10
  If she wanted to.
• 1:27:13
  That's a good team.
• 1:27:15
  I mean, I like that Mayhem team,
• 1:27:16
  but man, that's going to be a fight.
• 1:27:19
  Which is a repeat of last year.
• 1:27:22
  Who was second last year?
• 1:27:24
  The girls from the Mayhem team were third.
• 1:27:29
  Who was second?
• 1:27:30
  Why am I blanking?
• 1:27:31
  It wasn't Invictus, was it?
• 1:27:34
  I don't know.
• 1:27:43
  that's gonna bother me um but anyway the
• 1:27:47
  one thing i did notice is kristen holt
• 1:27:49
  is on the team but carolyn was ranked
• 1:27:51
  higher than her in the top one hundred
• 1:27:53
  women athletes so she's got to feel pretty
• 1:27:55
  pretty proud about that depends on the
• 1:27:59
  workouts was it jamie green's team uh team
• 1:28:05
  who cross up mayhem was second so it
• 1:28:09
  was angelo's team was second
• 1:28:12
  And then camel city was third camel city.
• 1:28:15
  So yeah, it'd be a repeat.
• 1:28:18
  Cause it's just moving the girls up.
• 1:28:21
  Yeah.
• 1:28:21
  Yeah.
• 1:28:22
  The girls are now mayhem instead of the
• 1:28:25
  camel city.
• 1:28:27
  So, yep.
• 1:28:30
  Um,
• 1:28:30
  and then the last piece of news I
• 1:28:32
  had, uh, yeah, uh,
• 1:28:35
  cj that is uh carolyn clutz team camel
• 1:28:38
  city was carolyn clutch team yeah and now
• 1:28:40
  she's on mayhem with jack rosema and i
• 1:28:44
  can't remember the other guy all of a
• 1:28:46
  sudden it's someone good mayhem so yeah
• 1:28:56
  and stevie stevie and carolyn both moving
• 1:28:58
  up to that team yep
• 1:29:00
  And then the last bit of news I
• 1:29:01
  have is Dallin Pepper and Jack Farlow go
• 1:29:06
  under an hour in Vegas.
• 1:29:10
  I know on duels that doesn't mean a
• 1:29:11
  whole lot,
• 1:29:12
  but Dallin is known as not being a
• 1:29:14
  runner.
• 1:29:16
  So I thought it was cool that he
• 1:29:18
  embraced the run and we get a high
• 1:29:20
  rocks.
• 1:29:23
  So that's cool.
• 1:29:27
  and uh was doing a singles like a
• 1:29:30
  individual this weekend but i can't see
• 1:29:32
  her like it has four of her stations
• 1:29:36
  and then nothing after but i saw that
• 1:29:39
  britney weiss did pretty well as well what
• 1:29:41
  she hit uh weiss was an hour five
• 1:29:47
  minutes okay and i think second in her
• 1:29:51
  age group okay
• 1:29:55
  I must have gotten kicked out of the
• 1:29:56
  High Rocks algorithm because I barely saw
• 1:29:58
  anything from the High Rocks.
• 1:30:01
  I just saw Hunter and his teammate.
• 1:30:02
  That's like the only thing I've been
• 1:30:04
  seeing.
• 1:30:04
  And then I saw Dalen's stuff on his
• 1:30:07
  own page.
• 1:30:10
  CrossFed says,
• 1:30:11
  what about the guy leaving TTT?
• 1:30:12
  That would be Kyle Ruth.
• 1:30:14
  He announced on his Instagram story today.
• 1:30:17
  I don't know any more about that.
• 1:30:21
  So...
• 1:30:22
  I am shocked by this.
• 1:30:24
  I mean,
• 1:30:24
  I was shocked when Brandon left those
• 1:30:27
  both.
• 1:30:29
  Both those are huge.
• 1:30:31
  Who was Kyle coaching right now?
• 1:30:34
  Alexis.
• 1:30:35
  So Alexis wants from Adam Rogers.
• 1:30:42
  Um, yeah.
• 1:30:44
  Yup.
• 1:30:45
  Like six months ago,
• 1:30:46
  which was already weird.
• 1:30:54
  If she's going with him or staying with
• 1:30:56
  TTT.
• 1:30:57
  That's the question.
• 1:30:58
  Uh,
• 1:30:58
  CrossFit Kyle Habdo is the PT over there.
• 1:31:03
  Kyle Ruth's not a PT.
• 1:31:04
  He's just a coach.
• 1:31:06
  And he's been a coach there for a
• 1:31:07
  long time.
• 1:31:08
  I mean, unless,
• 1:31:09
  unless you're saying personal trainer,
• 1:31:10
  but I'm guessing you're saying physical
• 1:31:12
  therapist and the physical therapist is
• 1:31:14
  Kyle Habdo.
• 1:31:16
  We're talking about Kyle Ruth.
• 1:31:19
  Where is he going?
• 1:31:20
  It said independent.
• 1:31:21
  He's just going on.
• 1:31:22
  Yeah.
• 1:31:22
  And his wording was,
• 1:31:26
  I am no longer affiliated with TTT.
• 1:31:29
  Right.
• 1:31:30
  As of February.
• 1:31:30
  Yeah.
• 1:31:32
  So it does not seem amicable,
• 1:31:36
  but no details.
• 1:31:40
  Yeah.
• 1:31:40
  I know CJ, but I'm, I don't know.
• 1:31:43
  Like, I don't know.
• 1:31:44
  I have to be clear.
• 1:31:45
  Words matter.
• 1:31:48
  You mean Brandon?
• 1:31:49
  Yeah.
• 1:31:51
  And now Kyle profit.
• 1:31:53
  No, I think she,
• 1:31:54
  he means with Alexis that Tanner was
• 1:31:56
  working out with her,
• 1:31:57
  but she still had Kyle as a coach,
• 1:32:00
  even during the Tanner days.
• 1:32:01
  Yes.
• 1:32:05
  Yeah.
• 1:32:05
  Tanner was not her coach.
• 1:32:07
  He was a workout partner.
• 1:32:08
  Correct.
• 1:32:14
  Yeah.
• 1:32:14
  Yeah.
• 1:32:15
  Adam is coaching Gabby.
• 1:32:18
  And I kind of wonder how long that's
• 1:32:19
  been happening.
• 1:32:21
  Like did Alexis leave and then he picked
• 1:32:23
  up Gabby or was Gabby coming around?
• 1:32:26
  And I don't know.
• 1:32:30
  Lydia is still there with training think
• 1:32:32
  tank, right?
• 1:32:33
  Monica.
• 1:32:35
  It is really weird.
• 1:32:36
  I wonder what is going on in the
• 1:32:38
  dynamics over there.
• 1:32:39
  It's,
• 1:32:40
  and we follow train think tank
• 1:32:43
  programming.
• 1:32:43
  That's I mean, I,
• 1:32:46
  I have like interaction with Mike
• 1:32:47
  McGoldrick.
• 1:32:50
  I don't know.
• 1:32:50
  It's just so strange.
• 1:32:52
  Well,
• 1:32:53
  and Jamie's gym has been affiliated with
• 1:32:55
  TTT for a long time.
• 1:32:57
  Yes.
