  this will be the first time

  you guys are on air since
• 0:56
  the age group CrossFit games.

  So we're going to kind of
• 0:59
  lead with that tonight when
• 1:00
  we get to the CrossFit stuff.
• 1:04
  And we're going to talk WFP.
• 1:06
  And I'm going to try to keep
• 1:07
  it as positive as possible.
• 1:10
  Because for me,
• 1:12
  because I just feel like
• 1:13
  it's been a pile on a
• 1:15
  weekend on social media.
• 1:18
  So I am going to try to keep
• 1:19
  it as positive.
• 1:20
  I do have some constructive
• 1:22
  things I want to talk about,
• 1:23
  but I want to keep it in a
• 1:24
  constructive kind of vein.
• 1:28
  but don't forget to like and
• 1:29
  subscribe to the channel
• 1:30
  all that means so much to
• 1:31
  us um I put out some member
• 1:34

• 1:36
  raw and uncut from the h
• 1:37
  group crossfit games those

• 1:47
  there's a couple more out
• 1:48
  there that are members only
• 1:49
  that will release to members a week after
• 1:52
  So there's still Caroline Klutz.
• 1:54
  There's still Denise Moore.
• 1:55
  And there is Lito.
• 1:57
  I don't want to butcher her last name.
• 2:01
  They're all out there on members only.
• 2:03
  And they'll switch over to
• 2:05
  full public by the end of the week.
• 2:10
  And then we're going to do
• 2:11
  some stuff with that
• 2:12
  content in a more like edited fashion.
• 2:16
  But I just wanted to get
• 2:17
  some stuff out from the
• 2:18
  weekend because found out on Friday,
• 2:22
  I've been fighting
• 2:22
  pneumonia for a while now.
• 2:25
  And I finally over this
• 2:28
  weekend feel like I'm
• 2:30
  finally headed in the right direction.
• 2:32
  with like the right medicine
• 2:34
  and a referral to a lung
• 2:35
  specialist um so hopefully
• 2:38
  we can get all that stuff
• 2:39
  rectified but I've been
• 2:41
  ordered to not sit at my
• 2:44
  computer um for long
• 2:46
  periods of time to actually
• 2:47
  like get some rest um and
• 2:49
  sit back so I've had to
• 2:50
  take a break from editing
• 2:51
  this weekend um and I'll
• 2:53
  get back to that sometime
• 2:54
  later in the week as I feel
• 2:56
  better but wanted to be on tonight um
• 3:00
  and do all that so I can't
• 3:02
  wait to chat with you the
• 3:03
  next few minutes one last
• 3:06
  thing I have before I turn
• 3:07
  it over to the girls is uh
• 3:09
  on friday I was asked if I
• 3:10
  would do a fantasy football
• 3:11
  league for the clydesdale
• 3:12
  media podcast um if I get
• 3:15
  enough people to do it I
• 3:18
  will do it and I will set
• 3:20
  up a draft on wednesday
• 3:21
  night right now I have five
• 3:22
  people I need three more to
• 3:25
  make an eight to go and start the draft
• 3:34
  Okay.
• 3:34
  My co-hosts.
• 3:36
  I've never done,
• 3:36
  I've never done like a fantasy.
• 3:38
  Once you pick your team,
• 3:39
  is it just like you do
• 3:40
  start and bench the players?
• 3:42
  Yeah.
• 3:43
  Like you could technically
• 3:45
  trade with other.
• 3:47
  And you can go to the waiver wire.
• 3:48
  Anybody who was unpicked,
• 3:50
  you can pick up off the waiver wire.
• 3:52
  Or if someone's injured.
• 3:54
  Correct.
• 3:57
  What's the price to go on?
• 3:59
  Nothing.
• 4:00
  We're going free just for fun.
• 4:02
  All right.
• 4:04
  I'll probably, you know, you know me,
• 4:05
  I try to come up with a
• 4:06
  trophy or something at the
• 4:07
  end of the year for everybody.
• 4:10
  So I'll do that.
• 4:11
  But if you are interested in joining,
• 4:14
  you need to put it in the
• 4:15
  comments of YouTube, not in the chat.
• 4:18
  So I can go back and get them.
• 4:20
  And then I will send you a
• 4:23
  message to give me your email.
• 4:25
  And then I can put you into
• 4:26
  the draft for Wednesday night.
• 4:30
  And if you don't be there on
• 4:32
  Wednesday night,
• 4:32
  you can have it auto-draft for you.
• 4:36
  Okay.
• 4:36
  And we'll get it to auto-draft,
• 4:37
  and it will do that.
• 4:39
  But the season starts Thursday,
• 4:41
  so we have to get the draft
• 4:42
  done by Wednesday.
• 4:45
  Okay.
• 4:47
  So, yeah, at the end of the show,
• 4:50
  when comments are available,
• 4:52
  shoot that you want to do
• 4:54
  it into the comments,
• 4:55
  and then I'll reach out to
• 4:56
  everybody who said yes, get their email,
• 4:58
  and get it set up by Wednesday.
• 5:01
  I just did my family one as the,
• 5:04
  I had WFP on one screen
• 5:06
  fantasy draft on another screen.
• 5:08
  And I was just going all directions.
• 5:14
  Free is like two hundred Canadian.
• 5:21
  All right.
• 5:24
  So are you both in?
• 5:25
  Sure.
• 5:25
  Yeah.
• 5:27
  All right.
• 5:28
  So you can take on all three
• 5:29
  of us this year.
• 5:31
  It says to seven.
• 5:33
  We only need one more person.
• 5:35
  I think Andrew Stenner said he's in.
• 5:37
  So we have the eight.
• 5:38
  I'll reach out to those who
• 5:39
  are interested.
• 5:40
  I have to cap it at twelve.
• 5:41
  So twelve.
• 5:42
  It'll be the first twelve we get in.
• 5:45
  I don't want to do a bigger
• 5:45
  league than twelve.
• 5:46
  Then it gets to two in the weeds.
• 5:51
  So what is up, Lynn?
• 5:52
  CrossFat?
• 5:53
  Jody?
• 5:54
  Aaron?
• 5:55
  Andrew?
• 5:56
  You got lots of Victor.
• 5:59
  David Reed I found out I
• 6:00
  thought Doug Reed was Doug
• 6:02
  Reed and it's really David
• 6:03
  Reed and they just call him
• 6:05
  Doug because someone
• 6:05
  mispronounced a long time
• 6:06
  ago right Chris Besterfield
• 6:10
  Jonathan we got a lot of
• 6:12
  people in the chat good to
• 6:13
  see you guys all tonight so
• 6:17
  you guys have anything
• 6:17
  going on this weekend I had
• 6:21
  my cousin's fortieth
• 6:22
  birthday party yesterday we
• 6:23
  went over to that not much
• 6:27
  today went over to the gym did some
• 6:29
  inventory stuff.
• 6:30
  And I think we're going to do Hero Watt.
• 6:33
  We're going to do Mannion
• 6:34
  tomorrow for Labor Day.
• 6:36
  So I know.
• 6:41
  I went to a Blue Jays game yesterday.
• 6:43
  My sister was in town with a
• 6:45
  couple of my nephews were
• 6:47
  there to watch the baseball game.
• 6:49
  So watch that with them.
• 6:50
  I joined them at the at the game.
• 6:52
  And then I have basically
• 6:54
  been procrastinating doing
• 6:56
  schoolwork because I start
• 6:57
  back school on Tuesday.
• 6:58
  So I'm like decluttering my condo.
• 7:01
  I'm getting rid of like a bunch of shoes,
• 7:03
  belts.
• 7:04
  I'm just getting started on this.
• 7:05
  Basically trying to do
• 7:06
  anything but schoolwork.
• 7:08
  So I'm just like anything
• 7:10
  like cleaning up everything.
• 7:13
  Late spring cleaning.
• 7:15
  Yeah.
• 7:15
  Well, I mean, I've been away all summer.
• 7:16
  So this week I just kind of
• 7:19
  took a slow week and I was like, okay,
• 7:20
  I'll do it this weekend.
• 7:22
  And that's basically what
• 7:25
  I've done the entire day today.
• 7:26
  I was supposed to go to the
• 7:27
  gym and I was like, you know what?
• 7:30
  I'm not going to the gym
• 7:31
  today and have just been on the,
• 7:34
  on the go donating stuff.
• 7:39
  Went to the gym, donated like
• 7:41
  a huge garbage bag of old
• 7:44
  shoes that I have.
• 7:49
  Um, so yeah, it's a social media posts.
• 7:51
  If someone wants like games,
• 7:54
  gear kit stuff or sponsors
• 7:57
  that gave you stuff that's
• 7:58
  barely been worn and they're your size,
• 8:02
  your opportunity to get a games, athletes,
• 8:05
  shoes and belts, um,
• 8:06
  Minus if you're from the States,
• 8:07
  because it's so expensive
• 8:09
  right now to do any
• 8:10
  shipping to the States.
• 8:11
  Like even just like, you know, in Ontario,
• 8:14
  like all of the ones I've sent,
• 8:16
  all the shoes that I've sent to people,
• 8:17
  like it's like thirty
• 8:19
  dollars of shipping.
• 8:20
  So I don't even want to see
• 8:21
  what the States will be.
• 8:22
  I tried doing one pair of
• 8:24
  lifters to the States and
• 8:26
  you have to download an app
• 8:28
  now for like tariff things.
• 8:31
  And then the app wasn't working.
• 8:33
  So they're like, come by another day.
• 8:36
  um and I was like oh man
• 8:37
  this is frustrating so um I
• 8:41
  was like I think I'll keep
• 8:42
  it to maybe ontario to
• 8:45
  crazy my ship in right now
• 8:47
  or ideally a pickup in
• 8:48
  toronto but yes one thing I
• 8:51
  lots of games games gear
• 8:52
  yeah um one thing I wanted
• 8:57
  to bring up it's I actually
• 8:58
  have it on the last agenda
• 8:59
  item but jamie you did do
• 9:01
  kill taylor this weekend oh yeah yeah
• 9:05
  What made you do it?
• 9:07
  What was the workout?
• 9:10
  Five rounds of twenty-one
• 9:11
  total bar or twelve sandbag cleans.
• 9:14
  What's the weight for the girls?
• 9:15
  Seventy.
• 9:18
  I don't think I have a seventy pound.
• 9:20
  Yeah, so we only have a seventy-five.
• 9:22
  I have a D-ball that's seventy,
• 9:25
  but I don't have a sandbag
• 9:26
  that's seventy.
• 9:26
  Yeah, Taylor's six-oh-three.
• 9:30
  What'd you get?
• 9:31
  Six-twenty-six.
• 9:33
  Well, that's close.
• 9:36
  Were you unbroken on the toast bars?
• 9:37
  No.
• 9:38
  And that's where I, I was just lame.
• 9:40
  I just, uh,
• 9:43
  CrossFit says less chalk and she wins.
• 9:46
  Yeah.
• 9:47
  And I don't, you know,
• 9:48
  I've been like not talking
• 9:50
  so much except for the last, I don't know,
• 9:52
  a couple of weeks before the games,
• 9:54
  I started getting back into
• 9:55
  a chalking habit and yeah,
• 9:58
  it's just lazy.
• 9:59
  It's pure laziness.
• 10:00
  I mean,
• 10:01
  I could have felt better,
• 10:02
  but that's all right.
• 10:04
  It's like when you sent me a
• 10:05
  video of one of your workouts, I'm like,
• 10:07
  can you eat the chalk less?
• 10:09
  That was like right away.
• 10:10
  I was like, no, you can't do that.
• 10:13
  Yeah,
• 10:13
  I probably could have stayed a little
• 10:14
  more diligent,
• 10:15
  like not bent over and got the chalk,
• 10:16
  just dropped it up.
• 10:17
  And even if they were just short breaks,
• 10:21
  I don't know if I would
• 10:21
  have made up twenty three seconds,
• 10:23
  but I could have been.
• 10:24
  So no one beat him?
• 10:25
  No, no one beat him.
• 10:27
  I think you came the closest.
• 10:29
  Yeah.
• 10:32
  CrossFit says thirty five
• 10:33
  seconds of chalk yeah that
• 10:35
  was not good I know to be
• 10:38
  fair I was just calling in
• 10:40
  to call in to get a workout
• 10:42
  so I went into it without
• 10:46
  without like kind of the I
• 10:50
  mean I probably should have
• 10:51
  had my head right and like
• 10:53
  but I was just doing it to
• 10:54
  get a workout in like I had
• 10:56
  coached I had tailgated the
• 10:58
  night before I got into the
• 10:59
  football game like
• 11:00
  I was just, I needed to get a workout in.
• 11:03
  Um, and that was a good excuse to do it.
• 11:05
  So I, I mean, it was fine.
• 11:07
  I'm, I'm happy to call in.
• 11:11
  Um, Doug Reed says,
• 11:14
  Jamie should call in more.
• 11:16
  Um, you said that before three, two,
• 11:19
  one that you were just
• 11:19
  getting a workout in.
• 11:20
  Yeah.
• 11:21
  Well, cause I didn't even warm up.
• 11:22
  Like I literally just coached class.
• 11:24
  And then I was like, well, yeah, I mean,
• 11:27
  and I had been tagged in the workout,
• 11:28
  so I knew the workout.
• 11:29
  I like that they're
• 11:31
  releasing that the day before.
• 11:32
  So I knew the workout and I was like, oh,
• 11:33
  I like that.
• 11:34
  I mean, I don't like sandbag cleans.
• 11:36
  You guys know that I don't
• 11:36
  like sandbag cleans,
• 11:37
  but seventy is doable.
• 11:39
  So I'll always call in if
• 11:41
  there's a total bar workout
• 11:42
  that's doable for me.
• 11:46
  Jonathan Ortega,
• 11:47
  she called in for fun season, almost one.
• 11:49
  I wouldn't say almost one, but.
• 11:51
  Yeah.
• 11:54
  Would love to see Carolyn Cullen.
• 11:55
  Carolyn waits for the big bucks.
• 11:58
  Carolyn's waiting for like
• 11:59
  forty five hundred.
• 12:02
  I would need the right
• 12:03
  workout to call into that show.
• 12:07
  Yeah, I mean,
• 12:07
  I just like I like coming with it,
• 12:09
  you know,
• 12:09
  like if you I feel like if you
• 12:10
  can get a little buffer come in a minute,
• 12:14
  thirty seconds, spend on the workout.
• 12:16
  I just I feel like that's a good effort.
• 12:19
  What I would like Taylor
• 12:20
  would never program.
• 12:21
  So, yeah.
• 12:24
  He hates dead lips the most, right?
• 12:26
  So I would assume that he'll
• 12:29
  never program that one.
• 12:32
  That would be like the only
• 12:33
  one I can maybe throw down.
• 12:38
  Jamie has a secret.
• 12:39
  She signed up for Sentinel.
• 12:40
  So then they don't talk
• 12:41
  smack about her because
• 12:42
  she's a Sentinel athlete.
• 12:44
  And they actually kind of root her on.
• 12:46
  They like come close.
• 12:47
  It was me.
• 12:48
  I'm not smart.
• 12:51
  I could hear Sousa.
• 12:52
  I was like, oh.
• 12:54
  Yeah.
• 12:55
  She's figured out the algorithm.
• 12:57
  Yeah.
• 12:59
  You got to pop the top before you start.
• 13:04
  Show up with the guns a blazing.
• 13:05
  Yeah.
• 13:07
  It was fun.
• 13:10
  All right.
• 13:10
  So what I want to do is I
• 13:12
  want to wrap up the age
• 13:13
  groups and then hopefully
• 13:14
  in that time we'll get full
• 13:15
  leaderboards for WFP and
• 13:16
  we'll dive into that.
• 13:19
  Um,
• 13:19
  but you guys have not been on since the
• 13:21
  age group, uh, CrossFit games.
• 13:24
  So I want to open it up to
• 13:25
  you to just talk about your experiences,
• 13:28
  each one of you, um, a little bit.
• 13:33
  So go ahead.
• 13:36
  You can start.
• 13:40
  All right.
• 13:41
  I thought it was cool.
• 13:41
  I loved seeing so many
• 13:43
  athletes that I hadn't seen in years.
• 13:47
  I think just without having
• 13:48
  the regionals and stuff like that,
• 13:52
  you don't get to see as
• 13:53
  many athletes anymore.
• 13:54
  You're just kind of going to
• 13:55
  one competition, like one major one,
• 13:57
  semifinals.
• 13:58
  I got to see athletes that I
• 13:59
  used to compete with, compete against,
• 14:02
  and then also athletes in
• 14:03
  age groups that like I grew up watching,
• 14:05
  right?
• 14:06
  Like the, the Valvo world,
• 14:08
  the Graham Holmberg, uh, you know,
• 14:10
  Scott Pancheck's there competing.
• 14:12
  Um,
• 14:13
  you know, and just like other athletes.
• 14:14
  So I thought the community
• 14:16
  part of it was really cool.
• 14:18
  Just like chatting with everyone.
• 14:21
  My performance wise, I was very,
• 14:24
  very happy with a lot of my execution.
• 14:27
  I thought I did really,
• 14:28
  really well on workouts
• 14:29
  that I had no business
• 14:30
  doing well in like the long,
• 14:34
  like on paper, like,
• 14:36
  Going in,
• 14:37
  I knew that these weren't great
• 14:38
  workouts for me.
• 14:39
  Like long run,
• 14:41
  the echo bike with the double unders,
• 14:44
  like that's a tough one for me.
• 14:46
  A max clean and jerk.
• 14:48
  Like I have a very good clean,
• 14:49
  but my jerk is probably my worst lift.
• 14:52
  And like I tied a PR of
• 14:54
  two-thirty on the jerk,
• 14:56
  but like I haven't hit that
• 14:57
  in five years.
• 14:59
  Like I never thought I would
• 15:00
  hit that number ever again.
• 15:01
  So like I was in a position
• 15:05
  especially going into the
• 15:05
  last workout that I never
• 15:07
  thought I would be in
• 15:08
  considering the workouts
• 15:09
  are really good there.
• 15:10
  Um,
• 15:11
  the workouts that I should have done
• 15:13
  better at were my worst ones.
• 15:15
  Like that last one should
• 15:16
  have been good for me.
• 15:17
  I went for it.
• 15:18
  Um, I knew I needed one person in between.
• 15:21
  I came out hot.
• 15:22
  I thought I could hold on.
• 15:24
  I normally could hold down,
• 15:25
  but maybe not at that point
• 15:27
  in the weekend.
• 15:28
  I was like very sore.
• 15:29
  Um,
• 15:30
  that weekend,
• 15:31
  like my legs were really beat up,
• 15:34
  really beat up.
• 15:35
  Um, and it just like a little,
• 15:37
  like the shoulders, I think,
• 15:37
  and the biceps from the number three,
• 15:41
  that workout destroyed me, destroyed me.
• 15:44
  I thought I was expecting to
• 15:45
  do much better.
• 15:46
  I mean, I got a fourth place there,
• 15:47
  but I thought I was going
• 15:49
  to be able to go much
• 15:49
  further in the workout.
• 15:50
  And it just,
• 15:51
  I was holding on for dear life
• 15:54
  and that workout.
• 15:55
  Um, yeah, like
• 15:58
  The sled was difficult for me,
• 16:02
  just like power output stuff.
• 16:06
  Yeah,
• 16:06
  basically I just went for it at the end,
• 16:08
  went too hard, couldn't hold on,
• 16:11
  and I'm okay with that.
• 16:13
  Very, very impressed with Caroline Klutz.
• 16:15
  I thought she did phenomenal all weekend,
• 16:17
  was dominant.
• 16:19
  The only workout I thought
• 16:20
  maybe I was going to get a
• 16:21
  little bit more help with
• 16:22
  the field was the ring muscle-up one.
• 16:24
  didn't quite get as much
• 16:25
  help as I wanted to from
• 16:28
  some of the people in my division.
• 16:30
  And then she was just solid overall, um,
• 16:33
  ever else.
• 16:34
  And then, yeah, the Sarah who got third,
• 16:37
  I think had three event wins.
• 16:39
  She's extremely good with gymnastics and,
• 16:41
  um,
• 16:42
  barbell and maybe has a little bit of
• 16:44
  a hole with machines, um, and running,
• 16:47
  but she was,
• 16:48
  she was impressive to Sammy
• 16:50
  that was up there.
• 16:51
  Like just, um,
• 16:53
  good good field yeah I'm
• 16:55
  happy with my performance
• 16:56
  overall like I said some
• 16:58
  some wins and then some
• 17:00
  execution stuff that I can
• 17:01
  live with and yeah big
• 17:03
  congrats to klutz I thought
• 17:05
  she was great all weekend
• 17:07
  so being a before we go to
• 17:09
  Jamie being an athlete who
• 17:11
  likes to compete and you've
• 17:13
  done it at the elite level
• 17:14
  now the age group level did
• 17:15
  you find it enough to bring you back
• 17:21
  What do you mean bring me back?
• 17:21
  Like if I want to compete again?
• 17:22
  Yeah.
• 17:22
  Oh yeah.
• 17:24
  I'm competing next year.
• 17:26
  I want to win that.
• 17:27
  I want to win that division.
• 17:28
  Like I've, I wanted to win it this year.
• 17:30
  I was hoping to win it.
• 17:31
  It didn't happen.
• 17:32
  Um,
• 17:35
  new set of events like you
• 17:36
  know like I was not the
• 17:37
  best one that weekend on
• 17:39
  those events if it's a
• 17:40
  different event it can be a
• 17:42
  different outcome I think a
• 17:43
  lot of us in CrossFit are
• 17:44
  program dependent like
• 17:45
  you're seeing it this
• 17:45
  weekend with the WFP you
• 17:47
  have some athletes that are
• 17:49
  great on at the games and
• 17:50
  then just these aren't
• 17:52
  quite their strengths and
• 17:54
  you know very few people in the sport Tia
• 17:59
  will win every single time and regardless.
• 18:02
  Right.
• 18:02
  Um, yeah, I mean, I, I,
• 18:05
  I still felt very fit.
• 18:06
  Um,
• 18:07
  I love competing and I'll certainly be
• 18:09
  back next year if I can
• 18:09
  qualify again and yeah.
• 18:13
  Before we turn a road to
• 18:14
  Jamie that I want the chat
• 18:15
  to ask questions to of
• 18:17
  these two and what their
• 18:18
  experience was like last weekend.
• 18:20
  So while Jamie's doing that,
• 18:21
  if you shoot questions,
• 18:23
  we'll answer those after
• 18:24
  she's done with her,
• 18:25
  what it was like for her.
• 18:32
  Um, I, I feel like I started too slow.
• 18:36
  I, the run didn't,
• 18:38
  isn't where I should have been.
• 18:39
  I don't know if I just
• 18:41
  started from the back and
• 18:42
  never really worked my way
• 18:43
  up or what exactly was
• 18:44
  going on in my head there.
• 18:46
  I had a dream that I finished fourth.
• 18:47
  Like I woke up at like three
• 18:48
  AM in a pure sweat,
• 18:51
  just like I finished fourth
• 18:52
  in the run and I was like panicking.
• 18:54
  And then I finished fourth in the run.
• 18:55
  So it was like, I don't know.
• 19:00
  got in my own head there, I guess.
• 19:02
  And then I mean,
• 19:03
  the clean and jerk
• 19:03
  basically went as expected.
• 19:07
  I took a chance going for two hundred.
• 19:08
  I've never clean and jerked two hundred.
• 19:10
  One ninety felt pretty good.
• 19:13
  I probably should have just
• 19:14
  done one ninety five.
• 19:15
  But I mean,
• 19:16
  especially with the way that
• 19:17
  worked with the total being
• 19:19
  the tiebreaker,
• 19:20
  it almost it would have
• 19:23
  paid off more to hit the
• 19:25
  lighter lift and have the total.
• 19:27
  then get that five extra pounds.
• 19:32
  There could have been good
• 19:33
  and bad with that.
• 19:35
  Like if I would have hit that,
• 19:36
  if I would have hit the one
• 19:37
  ninety five and gotten those points,
• 19:40
  I think I would have stayed
• 19:41
  in the top heat.
• 19:43
  And Aaron, like my husband,
• 19:46
  thinks that I was better
• 19:47
  off in the second in that
• 19:49
  first heat that second day
• 19:51
  because it was just like
• 19:52
  just Amanda and I.
• 19:53
  battling and pushing,
• 19:55
  like knowing that there's
• 19:56
  another heat we have each
• 19:58
  other to work off of.
• 19:59
  So, I mean, it's tough to say.
• 20:02
  I personally think like
• 20:04
  going head to head with the girls in that,
• 20:07
  in that workout three, the long workout,
• 20:09
  because the two girls beat
• 20:10
  me in the second heat.
• 20:11
  Like they know the number to,
• 20:12
  they know where to go from there.
• 20:14
  And so like,
• 20:15
  I think if I would have been
• 20:16
  on the floor with them,
• 20:17
  I could have won that workout.
• 20:21
  But I don't know.
• 20:22
  There's just,
• 20:24
  I mean, I said it beforehand,
• 20:25
  it was programming dependent.
• 20:27
  I mean, I think workout three was,
• 20:30
  ill programmed.
• 20:31
  I think it should have been,
• 20:31
  I think it should have started with,
• 20:33
  I think it should have gone
• 20:34
  row total bar so that when
• 20:35
  you got back to it,
• 20:36
  the total bar mattered
• 20:37
  because you could see that
• 20:39
  the people didn't have total bar.
• 20:41
  Like people needed to do
• 20:42
  more total bar to show the
• 20:43
  separation there.
• 20:44
  Those hang,
• 20:46
  like it was so many hang cleans
• 20:48
  at fifty in a movement that
• 20:51
  should never be programmed at the,
• 20:52
  at a competition.
• 20:54
  Like there's,
• 20:55
  there's movements that are
• 20:57
  great for training purposes, like sled.
• 21:02
  Um, you know,
• 21:03
  you can do hang clean and stuff,
• 21:04
  but like,
• 21:06
  When you test them on the floor,
• 21:08
  they're really hard to judge.
• 21:09
  Even a right hand clean,
• 21:11
  people will bounce and have
• 21:13
  a little bit of a bent arm.
• 21:15
  And then the thruster that
• 21:17
  you could literally do this
• 21:19
  was absolutely ridiculous
• 21:21
  for that movement.
• 21:23
  It came down to the kettlebell movement.
• 21:25
  And some people are very
• 21:26
  efficient with that movement.
• 21:28
  For me, I was not.
• 21:30
  And it blew up my arms.
• 21:32
  Right.
• 21:32
  Blew up.
• 21:33
  I couldn't even move them.
• 21:34
  I thought I had rhabdo.
• 21:34
  Oh, wow.
• 21:37
  I mean, I can see that.
• 21:37
  I mean, you're like constantly,
• 21:39
  like the longer you hold on
• 21:40
  to those and like the
• 21:41
  handle was bigger than my
• 21:43
  kettlebells that I'm used to.
• 21:44
  So like that extra grip fatigue,
• 21:46
  you're gripping tighter to
• 21:47
  hold on to those kettlebells.
• 21:50
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 21:50
  That was weird.
• 21:51
  I definitely think some
• 21:53
  programming changes there
• 21:54
  in that workout.
• 21:58
  I didn't, you know,
• 21:59
  I never really had a problem with like,
• 22:02
  like I think that some of
• 22:03
  those shorter ones are,
• 22:05
  transition dependent and things like that.
• 22:09
  Yes, their power output.
• 22:11
  But I think there were decent tests.
• 22:13
  I don't know why things kept changing.
• 22:15
  I mean, that's that's annoying.
• 22:17
  Like when when the deadlift
• 22:19
  is turned one way for
• 22:22
  one heat and then they turn
• 22:23
  the barbell and they change
• 22:24
  an axle bar and they're changing.
• 22:25
  I mean, it's, it gets frustrating when you,
• 22:27
  there's like four changes
• 22:28
  over the weekend and you're like,
• 22:29
  what is going on?
• 22:30
  And then they lowered the
• 22:31
  weight of the deadlift.
• 22:32
  Like it could have just been
• 22:33
  a three minute sled push
• 22:35
  because there wasn't a
• 22:36
  single person that didn't
• 22:38
  break the deadlift up.
• 22:41
  Not a single.
• 22:41
  Yeah.
• 22:43
  Yeah.
• 22:43
  There was some speed transition there.
• 22:46
  Um,
• 22:47
  I don't know that one was it
• 22:48
  was okay it was it was as expected,
• 22:50
  like I tested that one
• 22:51
  twice at home and it felt
• 22:53
  like identical to what I expected,
• 22:55
  like your legs are burning
• 22:56
  in those last couple sled pushes.
• 22:59
  So it was kind of just a.
• 23:02
  You know mental toughness
• 23:04
  keep grinding through it how fast,
• 23:05
  do you want to push and let
• 23:08
  your legs blow up,
• 23:09
  I mean that's a huge blood
• 23:10
  pump into those legs.
• 23:12
  Um,
• 23:13
  I think pushing that hard on certain
• 23:16
  things.
• 23:17
  I mean, I, Scott,
• 23:17
  you've talked about the same with Colton.
• 23:19
  Like for me, I just, I,
• 23:21
  I have to work extra hard
• 23:23
  and normally it's not a problem for me.
• 23:26
  Um,
• 23:27
  Cause I do like a low,
• 23:29
  a pretty high volume of training and I'm,
• 23:31
  and I'm usually fine by day three, four,
• 23:34
  I can do more workouts.
• 23:36
  I actually wasn't that sore on Sunday.
• 23:39
  Um,
• 23:40
  I had Terry and Tyson Carters came with
• 23:43
  me, um, for my gyms.
• 23:44
  They're my chiropractor and
• 23:46
  massage therapist.
• 23:46
  And like, I was surprised how good,
• 23:49
  like I didn't feel good on Saturday,
• 23:51
  but I was surprised how
• 23:52
  good I felt on Sunday.
• 23:53
  My legs were like, not that sore anymore.
• 23:56
  Um,
• 23:57
  But my shoulder just, it just can't,
• 24:00
  it can't handle overhead
• 24:02
  squats and snatches at that weight.
• 24:04
  And you're an undersized athlete.
• 24:06
  Yeah.
• 24:06
  And you're putting in that
• 24:07
  much effort and you win
• 24:08
  events that there's no way,
• 24:10
  nobody that I talked to
• 24:12
  thought you had a chance in
• 24:14
  the sled push workout.
• 24:17
  And you win it.
• 24:19
  But what does that put on
• 24:20
  you to go forward, right?
• 24:23
  Yeah.
• 24:24
  Technically, Carly won.
• 24:25
  She was ahead of me on the slide.
• 24:27
  But you tied technically for first.
• 24:31
  If you would have asked me,
• 24:32
  that would not have been
• 24:32
  the one that I said I would win.
• 24:34
  Like I figured I could be
• 24:38
  like top five and like
• 24:40
  about three or four workouts.
• 24:43
  And I, you know, maybe if things went well,
• 24:45
  like I know I can,
• 24:47
  I know I can hurt when I want to hurt.
• 24:49
  And I know I can keep grinding and,
• 24:51
  Um,
• 24:52
  so I didn't think I would do bad on
• 24:53
  that one.
• 24:54
  And I did think people would
• 24:55
  blow up and not be able to
• 24:56
  push that sled fast.
• 24:58
  Um,
• 24:59
  so I thought I would do fine on that one.
• 25:00
  I would also not have
• 25:01
  thought I would have won that.
• 25:02
  I thought I would do better
• 25:03
  on the echo bike one.
• 25:05
  Like,
• 25:06
  last year I got second on
• 25:07
  the echo bike one my echo
• 25:08
  bike was trash absolute
• 25:11
  trash and that I do not
• 25:13
  like when equipment comes
• 25:14
  down to like I don't that's
• 25:16
  why I don't like machines I
• 25:17
  mean savannah's talked
• 25:18
  about this and I know
• 25:19
  people hate on him when
• 25:20
  he's like there's so many
• 25:21
  machines and he doesn't
• 25:22
  like machines to a point I
• 25:25
  completely agree with him
• 25:27
  because these machines are not all equal
• 25:30
  and I mean we've seen it
• 25:32
  we've seen it on runners at
• 25:33
  certain events like they
• 25:34
  they're not calibrated
• 25:35
  equal and to rely that much
• 25:37
  on machines I I mean that
• 25:39
  machine was double under
• 25:41
  speed cycle speed and and
• 25:43
  speed on the bike and I
• 25:45
  just I worked hard on that
• 25:47
  bike because because my
• 25:49
  bike was creaky it was like
• 25:50
  I mean it it was it needed
• 25:52
  to be oiled or I don't know
• 25:53
  what was going on um the pedal was off
• 25:56
  Sammy had the same lane as me.
• 25:57
  I talked to her after it.
• 25:58
  Cause I could see her.
• 25:59
  I could, I watched her go and I was like,
• 26:01
  yup, same thing's happening.
• 26:02
  Like she is,
• 26:05
  she is powerful on a bike and
• 26:06
  she was not getting off the bike,
• 26:09
  even like top five.
• 26:11
  And that should not be happening.
• 26:14
  I have put a ton of work on the bike.
• 26:18
  I should have done better in that one.
• 26:19
  And I put in a ton of,
• 26:21
  of power output just to get this.
• 26:25
  I want to hit a couple of
• 26:26
  these questions before we
• 26:27
  get too far in um crossfit
• 26:30
  should the runs be a time
• 26:31
  trial or a mass start for
• 26:32
  the test I mean it's it
• 26:40
  kind of is I don't know I
• 26:41
  mean there was what's the
• 26:42
  difference is time trial
• 26:44
  like you're by yourself yep
• 26:47
  no I want to go with a group yeah
• 26:50
  The thing that was annoying
• 26:52
  was they put different,
• 26:55
  like they had five minute
• 26:56
  starts and like they had
• 26:58
  divisions that let's say
• 27:00
  were older than us five minutes before.
• 27:03
  So some of the athletes
• 27:04
  would catch up and then you
• 27:06
  wouldn't know whether that
• 27:07
  was an athlete from your division or not.
• 27:10
  Um,
• 27:12
  Versus starting maybe with a
• 27:15
  faster divisions so that
• 27:16
  there's no takeover or less takeover.
• 27:19
  I should say not like no takeover.
• 27:20
  I'm sure there's some studs
• 27:22
  that are running, but no,
• 27:24
  I think the mass start is fine.
• 27:25
  It's not like there's like
• 27:26
  that many people it's,
• 27:27
  people in the field and it's okay.
• 27:30
  It starts separating
• 27:31
  basically right away into chunks.
• 27:34
  Yeah.
• 27:35
  I started at the back and I
• 27:36
  do think that was an issue.
• 27:38
  This is my own fault because
• 27:39
  I went to the bathroom and
• 27:40
  I was in the back and never
• 27:42
  really couldn't ever get around.
• 27:43
  And it took a while for me
• 27:44
  to get around and run hard
• 27:46
  just to get into the second group.
• 27:47
  And I just stayed there
• 27:49
  thinking I could get them at the end.
• 27:50
  But I think if I would have
• 27:51
  started with the front,
• 27:52
  I would have probably
• 27:54
  probably been fine and just
• 27:55
  run with them the whole time.
• 27:56
  Um, but I, yeah,
• 28:00
  I think they probably could have gone.
• 28:02
  women, men, women, men,
• 28:04
  so that you were
• 28:05
  technically ten minutes
• 28:07
  behind another women's heat,
• 28:08
  and you wouldn't ever have caught them.
• 28:09
  You would just see men,
• 28:10
  and that'd be fine.
• 28:12
  So I think they should have
• 28:13
  alternated women and men on that one.
• 28:16
  CrossFit also asked, Jamie,
• 28:17
  how was it having Bryson and Taylor?
• 28:20
  It was really nice.
• 28:22
  It was honestly,
• 28:24
  so it was really hard for me.
• 28:26
  It was hard for me in all accounts.
• 28:27
  Like,
• 28:29
  I still talk to Tristan.
• 28:31
  If I could afford him,
• 28:32
  I would still have Tristan
• 28:33
  and he was messaging me.
• 28:35
  I like,
• 28:35
  I have so many people and it's like, it,
• 28:38
  it like, it means a ton to me.
• 28:42
  Um,
• 28:43
  I I've done training think tank for five,
• 28:45
  six years.
• 28:46
  We're a training think tank affiliate.
• 28:48
  I had Mike McGoldrick there
• 28:49
  checking in on me every heat.
• 28:51
  Um, and then I,
• 28:53
  I do Sentinel on the side as well.
• 28:55
  Um, and,
• 28:57
  with Taylor and Bryson, they, we,
• 29:00
  there was four of us in the
• 29:01
  forty to forty four.
• 29:03
  So like Taylor and Bryson
• 29:04
  already had warm ups
• 29:06
  written for the other three women.
• 29:09
  And it makes it a whole lot
• 29:10
  easier to get a barbell, get kettlebells,
• 29:13
  get a space in there to
• 29:14
  warm up with someone else
• 29:16
  rather than be by yourself
• 29:17
  and trying to like figure
• 29:18
  out what to do next.
• 29:19
  So it was I mean, it was
• 29:23
  kind of a no brainer for me
• 29:24
  to just work with them and
• 29:26
  be in that group and use
• 29:28
  Taylor and Bryson's coaching and warmups.
• 29:31
  Like I've like Tristan
• 29:36
  warmed me up last year.
• 29:37
  It's just,
• 29:37
  it's different just rolling with
• 29:39
  four women and like
• 29:40
  shutting your brain down
• 29:41
  and just going through it.
• 29:42
  Like it was really nice.
• 29:47
  Vi asks,
• 29:47
  if you could give one piece of
• 29:49
  feedback to the event director,
• 29:50
  what would it be?
• 29:52
  What is the most important
• 29:53
  area of improvement for the
• 29:54
  event in your opinion?
• 29:57
  Testing the workouts and
• 29:58
  having well-programmed.
• 30:01
  Like a bike can't...
• 30:04
  Eight,
• 30:04
  eighteen handstand pushups and
• 30:05
  eighteen calorie.
• 30:06
  But like, you can't do that.
• 30:07
  Like each movement needs to
• 30:08
  take thirty seconds, thirty seconds.
• 30:09
  Like, you know,
• 30:10
  you need to you need to
• 30:11
  think through your program
• 30:12
  and you need to have equal
• 30:13
  parts gymnastics equal and
• 30:16
  test the workouts and make
• 30:17
  sure you understand the
• 30:18
  flow and where breakdowns
• 30:20
  are going to be.
• 30:22
  Test your workouts.
• 30:23
  Yeah, I agree.
• 30:25
  I think if you only have
• 30:27
  eight workouts also,
• 30:29
  like you can't have that
• 30:30
  many single modality tests
• 30:32
  or shouldn't have as many
• 30:33
  single modality tests, like the run,
• 30:35
  the clean and jerk, honestly,
• 30:37
  it was just a sled push event.
• 30:39
  Um,
• 30:40
  and then the other ones were really
• 30:42
  dependent on one movement
• 30:44
  or like one or two little parts.
• 30:46
  So
• 30:47
  by testing and making it
• 30:48
  more where all the movements matter,
• 30:51
  especially when we're
• 30:52
  trying to find the fittest,
• 30:54
  I think it was really, really important.
• 30:57
  Yeah.
• 30:57
  Like you can do a well-balanced test in,
• 31:00
  you know, six events, seven events,
• 31:03
  but I just don't think that
• 31:04
  they had it particularly
• 31:06
  with their eight events or
• 31:08
  their ten events last year.
• 31:10
  So I think that there's some
• 31:12
  testing that they have to do.
• 31:14
  And sometimes
• 31:17
  certain divisions I felt
• 31:18
  like were completely a
• 31:19
  different workout than others.
• 31:21
  Like it's gotta be so hard
• 31:23
  to do the programming for
• 31:25
  all the divisions.
• 31:26
  But like they said,
• 31:27
  they program for the best
• 31:28
  and then scale for the rest.
• 31:31
  And like sometimes I feel
• 31:32
  like some of our gymnastics
• 31:33
  stuff could get like
• 31:34
  flipped on the seventy year
• 31:36
  olds or sixty five where
• 31:38
  they don't start
• 31:39
  necessarily with the
• 31:40
  gymnastics difficulty,
• 31:41
  but maybe end there as
• 31:43
  people can kind of separate themselves.
• 31:46
  Yeah, I mean, I mean, it's it's very hard.
• 31:48
  I'm not going to say that
• 31:49
  it's easy to do the age groups, but yeah,
• 31:53
  it's a hard task.
• 31:54
  But yeah,
• 31:54
  definitely testing the workouts and
• 31:56
  more balanced, more CrossFit stuff.
• 31:59
  Uh, for Mark Phillips,
• 32:01
  how long did it take you
• 32:01
  guys to get your leg legs
• 32:03
  back after the run?
• 32:09
  I mean, I honestly,
• 32:10
  I think I feel like my legs were okay.
• 32:13
  That's tough to say.
• 32:14
  Cause I looked awful in the
• 32:15
  overhead squat box jump, but I'm not,
• 32:18
  I can't go from overhead
• 32:20
  squats to box jumps.
• 32:20
  I wouldn't have mattered if I had run,
• 32:22
  not run, not biked,
• 32:23
  not double under like that
• 32:25
  workout was going to go that way for me,
• 32:26
  no matter what, with my hip,
• 32:28
  like just was going to go that way.
• 32:32
  Mine.
• 32:33
  I feel like they're fine.
• 32:34
  Basically like within an hour,
• 32:36
  like later they felt normal,
• 32:37
  but it's like,
• 32:39
  I think the impact on my legs, I could,
• 32:42
  I think like my quads were
• 32:43
  a little bit sore from that the last,
• 32:45
  like the following day was still.
• 32:48
  Feeling it.
• 32:50
  The combination of that one
• 32:52
  and number three were like
• 32:53
  the ones that kind of
• 32:54
  destroyed me that weekend.
• 32:58
  Three made me sore.
• 32:59
  Like I said,
• 33:00
  if I wouldn't have had Terry
• 33:01
  and Tyson there.
• 33:02
  and all the work they did on
• 33:02
  me on Saturday,
• 33:03
  I know I would have been
• 33:04
  really sore on Sunday.
• 33:06
  Cause my legs were sore on Saturday.
• 33:09
  Like I was more sore this,
• 33:10
  like that weekend than the
• 33:12
  CrossFit games.
• 33:13
  But I also think that I cooled down much,
• 33:15
  much better at the CrossFit games,
• 33:17
  the individual than I did
• 33:21
  at the age group.
• 33:21
  Like I was going in the cold
• 33:23
  tub over there.
• 33:23
  I was, you know,
• 33:26
  Yeah, a little bit more.
• 33:28
  I think I don't think I did
• 33:29
  enough there on my cool downs.
• 33:31
  And I felt the soreness more than I did.
• 33:35
  So that's my own fault.
• 33:39
  Kara was a walking hamstring.
• 33:43
  This is a two-parter.
• 33:44
  It's not even a question,
• 33:45
  but it's just funny and I
• 33:46
  had to add this.
• 33:47
  Test women in your workouts too.
• 33:49
  Then Lynn says,
• 33:50
  have women test your workouts.
• 33:52
  I've been speaking too much Spanish.
• 33:54
  Sorry, my English is acting up.
• 33:57
  We got you.
• 33:58
  We understand.
• 33:58
  Yes.
• 34:00
  I mean, I agree with that.
• 34:01
  It's hard because it's a
• 34:01
  fine line of you don't want
• 34:03
  so many people to know the
• 34:04
  workouts that all of a sudden, you know,
• 34:06
  that group of testers and
• 34:08
  starts getting bigger and
• 34:09
  then people get information.
• 34:10
  But yeah,
• 34:11
  I think having women is important
• 34:13
  to test your workouts to
• 34:15
  give different feedbacks.
• 34:19
  Have you guys ever seen
• 34:20
  anyone go from unfit to
• 34:21
  competitive in a year?
• 34:22
  Grub was several.
• 34:26
  grub was fit within one year
• 34:29
  or years to go from unfit
• 34:32
  to competitor I mean you
• 34:35
  hear of the people who like
• 34:36
  started and were pretty
• 34:38
  competitive within a year
• 34:40
  but they came from like
• 34:41
  college sports right so I
• 34:43
  don't know yeah I don't
• 34:45
  think so I've yeah in a
• 34:48
  year that's until I do it next year
• 34:52
  I mean,
• 34:53
  are we talking about people that
• 34:54
  are natural?
• 34:55
  Or are we talking about
• 34:55
  people that are cheating?
• 34:56
  Because that's two different
• 34:57
  things as well.
• 35:01
  Yeah, we Yeah,
• 35:03
  that's way too long of a
• 35:04
  conversation for tonight.
• 35:09
  Travis Williams has gone fit, unfit, fit,
• 35:12
  unfit.
• 35:13
  Who?
• 35:13
  Who knows?
• 35:14
  It's like a yo yo with him.
• 35:19
  Um, but anyway, so that's the questions,
• 35:21
  but I'm, I was so proud of you guys.
• 35:23
  It was so much fun getting to hang out.
• 35:26
  I will say like, as a spectator,
• 35:27
  the schedule was so goofy.
• 35:29
  Like,
• 35:30
  I don't even know what it was like to
• 35:31
  be a competitor under that.
• 35:32
  But like, as a spectator,
• 35:36
  poor Lana and all of her friends,
• 35:37
  she has like a,
• 35:38
  a little sheet with
• 35:39
  everything in pencil and
• 35:40
  she's crossing off to make
• 35:41
  sure she gets to everything.
• 35:43
  It was wacky and wild all,
• 35:45
  all weekend long.
• 35:48
  You're on mute, Jamie.
• 35:49
  Oh, I did there.
• 35:56
  Yeah, it was weird.
• 35:57
  It didn't make sense to me either.
• 36:06
  Wow.
• 36:07
  Thank you.
• 36:09
  My face is looking thin.
• 36:10
  Maybe the medicine getting
• 36:11
  rid of the pneumonia is
• 36:12
  actually helping me out.
• 36:17
  You both smashed it.
• 36:20
  And also Lex's tier one cheerleader.
• 36:24
  It was nice seeing Lex around all weekend.
• 36:27
  Judy.
• 36:28
  Yes.
• 36:28
  As a spectator,
• 36:29
  I was so confused trying to
• 36:31
  catch multiple athletes and
• 36:32
  missed a bunch.
• 36:36
  Yeah.
• 36:36
  I did eat.
• 36:37
  I did eat just to let everybody know.
• 36:39
  Judy made sure of it.
• 36:41
  People were texting me.
• 36:44
  I did eat during the competition.
• 36:46
  And they did have healthy
• 36:47
  options right there in that
• 36:49
  little cafe right outside the doors.
• 36:52
  So it was really cool.
• 36:54
  So with that, I know that you texted us,
• 36:58
  Jamie, about...
• 37:01
  the vendor villages,
• 37:02
  both at the age group and
• 37:04
  at the WFP were very,
• 37:06
  very small and that you,
• 37:09
  and we all were talking
• 37:10
  about the ticket prices.
• 37:11
  I've been ranting on this
• 37:13
  for weeks that the ticket
• 37:15
  prices are way too high.
• 37:16
  You say you have a solution.
• 37:18
  You haven't told us what that is.
• 37:20
  We're unveiling it here.
• 37:21
  Yeah.
• 37:22
  I don't know if it's a solution,
• 37:23
  but I mean, I think about this.
• 37:25
  And I, it's probably not feasible.
• 37:28
  Like it's very on a roll system.
• 37:31
  I feel like,
• 37:32
  I don't know how you can do it,
• 37:32
  but I feel like,
• 37:34
  so I feel like they need to take,
• 37:37
  cause you need to,
• 37:37
  you need to make it
• 37:38
  worthwhile for these people, right?
• 37:40
  Like you need to show them
• 37:42
  that it's going to be worthwhile.
• 37:45
  And if it isn't for some reason,
• 37:46
  if they're in a bad spot or it's just,
• 37:48
  I don't know, the fans aren't there.
• 37:49
  Like,
• 37:51
  I don't think you should
• 37:52
  just charge these people.
• 37:53
  Ten grand.
• 37:53
  Fifteen grand.
• 37:54
  Whatever.
• 37:54
  Like I think you should figure out a base.
• 37:56
  Two grand.
• 37:56
  Whatever it is.
• 37:57
  And then figure out a cap.
• 37:58
  Fifteen grand.
• 37:59
  Or whatever it is.
• 38:00
  Get them in there for two grand.
• 38:02
  And then.
• 38:03
  And then do like a.
• 38:04
  Percentage of sales at the end.
• 38:06
  Of the weekend.
• 38:07
  And if you're a high ticket item.
• 38:09
  And whatever you get.
• 38:09
  You get to the fifteen grand.
• 38:10
  Which you would have spent anyway.
• 38:11
  Because you know you're
• 38:12
  going to go send that.
• 38:13
  You give them the fifteen grand.
• 38:15
  But.
• 38:16
  Like I feel like.
• 38:18
  And I. And again.
• 38:19
  It'd be.
• 38:19
  It would probably be.
• 38:21
  purely on a roll.
• 38:21
  I don't know if you're going
• 38:22
  to take their stripe at the
• 38:23
  end of the weekend, credit card sales,
• 38:24
  people might take cash.
• 38:25
  And,
• 38:26
  but if you really want to like cheat
• 38:28
  the system out of.
• 38:30
  Five hundred a grand by
• 38:31
  doing if it's like thirty percent,
• 38:32
  like how many how many cash
• 38:35
  sales are you going to
• 38:35
  pocket and hide from them?
• 38:37
  Like truly,
• 38:37
  if you're a vendor and it was
• 38:39
  worthwhile to you and you
• 38:40
  went and made forty grand,
• 38:42
  are you going to complain
• 38:43
  about giving them ten grand?
• 38:45
  Probably not.
• 38:46
  You're going to be like, yep,
• 38:47
  that was worth it.
• 38:48
  I would have spent it.
• 38:48
  Here you go.
• 38:52
  So revenue sharing.
• 38:54
  Yeah, with a cap.
• 38:55
  I mean, you obviously want them to like.
• 38:58
  You could almost make it just a floating,
• 39:01
  a floating fee,
• 39:02
  depending on the number of attendees.
• 39:05
  Yeah.
• 39:05
  So if we get ten thousand
• 39:08
  people through the door,
• 39:09
  this is the cost.
• 39:10
  If we only get a thousand
• 39:11
  people through the door,
• 39:12
  this is the cost.
• 39:15
  So that everybody makes out on it.
• 39:17
  But I think these events are
• 39:19
  starving for cash so much
• 39:21
  that they're trying to
• 39:22
  squeeze every nickel.
• 39:23
  But all that's happening is
• 39:24
  you're getting less and
• 39:25
  less sponsors and less and less vendors.
• 39:28
  And so we're basically tying
• 39:33
  the noose around our own
• 39:35
  neck by not just opening
• 39:37
  the damn doors to more people.
• 39:39
  Right.
• 39:40
  It's too expensive for the vendors,
• 39:42
  but then also there was so
• 39:44
  much room in that convention center.
• 39:48
  They put the vendors off to
• 39:49
  the side where people don't
• 39:51
  even need to walk through them.
• 39:53
  I think when I was at NorCal,
• 39:54
  they did a really good job
• 39:56
  where you have to walk
• 39:58
  through the vendor village
• 39:59
  so that you get to the main event area.
• 40:02
  Like they should be forcing,
• 40:04
  they should have had the
• 40:05
  door open where the vendors
• 40:07
  were starting way at the other side.
• 40:09
  That's the door that
• 40:10
  everyone goes through.
• 40:10
  And then you're forced to
• 40:12
  walk through the vendor
• 40:12
  village and feel guilty for
• 40:14
  like not talking to people
• 40:15
  and trying to buy things like you.
• 40:18
  like yeah there's just not
• 40:20
  enough of forcing people to
• 40:21
  actually go there and and
• 40:23
  look because it just
• 40:24
  doesn't help the vendors
• 40:25
  and then the vendors are
• 40:26
  paying so much money to
• 40:27
  have a spot and they're not
• 40:28
  getting anyone there so you
• 40:30
  combine that with high
• 40:32
  ticket prices not not a lot
• 40:33
  of people and those vendors
• 40:35
  don't want to come back so
• 40:37
  that stuck with you know
• 40:39
  six to ten vendors now at
• 40:41
  major competitions where
• 40:43
  you know we should be getting
• 40:45
  at least thirty different
• 40:47
  vendors and options because
• 40:48
  then now people are going
• 40:49
  to want to shop agree I
• 40:52
  mean I had like the people
• 40:53
  that came and watched me
• 40:54
  they I one of the one of my
• 40:56
  members said they were
• 40:58
  pretty disappointed in the
• 41:00
  like they wanted to come
• 41:01
  shop they wanted more they
• 41:03
  want to grip shoes I mean
• 41:05
  he bought a jump rope and I
• 41:06
  think he looked at about but like
• 41:09
  Like a ton of those regular
• 41:10
  vendors weren't there.
• 41:11
  Like Bear Complex wasn't there.
• 41:13
  Tupud wasn't there.
• 41:15
  Was Barbell Voodoo there?
• 41:16
  Maybe they were.
• 41:17
  I don't know.
• 41:18
  They were.
• 41:19
  It seemed like some of your normal.
• 41:21
  And to be fair,
• 41:22
  not all vendors are created equal.
• 41:24
  Like some sell twenty dollar
• 41:27
  items and some sell one hundred,
• 41:28
  one hundred fifty dollar items.
• 41:30
  Like, again, that's where I'm like,
• 41:32
  I don't think you should
• 41:33
  just have an eight by eight
• 41:34
  booth cost seven thousand
• 41:36
  because that's different for everyone.
• 41:40
  paper street verse you know
• 41:44
  gym reapers or whoever was
• 41:45
  your title they had they
• 41:46
  had a they're getting more
• 41:48
  stuff in there and front
• 41:49
  row front and center I've
• 41:51
  said this over and over
• 41:52
  wadapalooza is the biggest
• 41:53
  vendor village I've seen
• 41:55
  outside of the games and
• 41:56
  probably bigger and every
• 41:58
  thursday is open to the
• 41:59
  public for free every
• 42:01
  thursday they just open the
• 42:03
  door anybody can come in
• 42:05
  That is a day where people
• 42:06
  can just walk around and
• 42:07
  shop all day long.
• 42:09
  And at least you get one of
• 42:10
  the four days where it's open door.
• 42:13
  And because the age groups
• 42:14
  had to go that extra day,
• 42:16
  why not open a day for free?
• 42:19
  Thursday absolutely should have been free.
• 42:21
  We were outside for half of it.
• 42:23
  That one.
• 42:23
  I mean,
• 42:24
  the fact that I had people coming
• 42:25
  there spending eighty some
• 42:26
  dollars on a day that was.
• 42:29
  I was like, don't even buy a ticket.
• 42:30
  You don't want to come in
• 42:31
  and watch me clean a jerk.
• 42:31
  Just come outside and watch me run.
• 42:34
  Yeah.
• 42:35
  Or so just open the doors
• 42:37
  for free that day.
• 42:38
  Yeah.
• 42:39
  Maybe,
• 42:40
  maybe a handful of people get hooked
• 42:42
  at what they're seeing and
• 42:44
  pay for the ticket for the
• 42:45
  rest of the weekend.
• 42:46
  Or at a minimum that they go
• 42:49
  shopping and then they help
• 42:50
  the vendors like anything.
• 42:52
  Like it's just, it's just too expensive.
• 42:55
  You shouldn't be,
• 42:56
  you shouldn't be paying a
• 42:57
  hundred dollars a day to
• 42:58
  watch the same workout, you know,
• 43:01
  go over and over again.
• 43:03
  Right.
• 43:03
  Yeah.
• 43:04
  Way too expensive.
• 43:06
  I'm sure this will continue to be on our.
• 43:12
  As the CrossFit Games has announced,
• 43:14
  or not announced,
• 43:15
  it has been leaked by the Barbell Spin,
• 43:17
  and Dave Castro posted a
• 43:19
  picture live in a WNBA game
• 43:22
  at the Chase Arena in San Francisco.
• 43:28
  So there's now speculation
• 43:30
  that that is the West Coast home.
• 43:34
  I don't think that they'll
• 43:34
  go to Chase Arena.
• 43:36
  That's a massive,
• 43:37
  massive way too expensive, way too big,
• 43:40
  way too expensive.
• 43:41
  They could be going to like that area,
• 43:45
  like, like Northern California area.
• 43:47
  But I don't think that
• 43:48
  they'll utilize that new facility.
• 43:52
  Like there's, that's just way too much.
• 43:56
  It'll be like so empty and so expensive.
• 43:58
  I don't think that we're at that point.
• 44:00
  Like we've talked about downsizing,
• 44:02
  not upgrading to this facility.
• 44:06
  Yeah.
• 44:08
  Siobhan said this morning,
• 44:09
  San Jose is an option too.
• 44:17
  David said where the tickets expensive.
• 44:19
  Judy won't tell me.
• 44:24
  Unless one of those tech
• 44:25
  dweebs involved in the
• 44:27
  Golden State Warriors is buying CrossFit.
• 44:31
  That would be cool,
• 44:32
  but it's probably not happening.
• 44:37
  How is there not a Rogue
• 44:37
  pop-up store there?
• 44:39
  That is confounding to me.
• 44:40
  I was talking to Andrew Sten
• 44:41
  about that a little bit this week.
• 44:45
  They're five miles down the road.
• 44:47
  If anything, just like a board that says,
• 44:51
  come visit us down on Fifth Avenue.
• 44:53
  Yes.
• 45:01
  Jamie, it's our secret.
• 45:02
  All right.
• 45:05
  Yeah.
• 45:06
  I, I mean, even last year,
• 45:07
  I feel like the vendor
• 45:10
  village was a little better.
• 45:12
  Like you had first form with their,
• 45:15
  with their drinks and like snacks.
• 45:16
  Like you could just swing by
• 45:17
  that booth any time of day
• 45:18
  and get a free drink.
• 45:19
  And people love that.
• 45:22
  Again,
• 45:23
  vendor village was nowhere near the
• 45:24
  floors.
• 45:25
  I know.
• 45:25
  Did not have to go through it.
• 45:27
  It was great.
• 45:29
  was bigger last year than
• 45:31
  this year but yeah yeah I
• 45:35
  don't know I don't know
• 45:37
  what the solution is yeah
• 45:38
  but yeah I just think you
• 45:39
  need to get more of them in
• 45:40
  there you need to show them
• 45:41
  that it's worth their while
• 45:41
  they need to make their
• 45:42
  money like you can't just
• 45:43
  charge them this exorbitant
• 45:44
  amount and then they don't
• 45:47
  make their money all right
• 45:50
  let's get into the part I'm
• 45:53
  dreading a little bit.
• 45:54
  WFP this weekend went off.
• 45:57
  Let's see if the leaderboards are final.
• 45:59
  They're finalized.
• 46:02
  Okay.
• 46:04
  So.
• 46:06
  We're again,
• 46:07
  we're trying to keep this as
• 46:09
  positive as we can.
• 46:10
  There will be some constructive criticism,
• 46:12
  but I think that they have
• 46:13
  been given their fair share
• 46:14
  of criticism over the
• 46:16
  weekend from everybody.
• 46:18
  So I'm just going to try to
• 46:19
  hit the highlights that I
• 46:20
  saw and the direction that
• 46:22
  I think they're trying to go in.
• 46:27
  But there were some issues for sure.
• 46:34
  So, on the women's side, tour stop two,
• 46:39
  we have Laura Horvath with the win,
• 46:42
  Emma Tall with second,
• 46:43
  and Amy Kringle in third,
• 46:45
  Brooke West fourth, Lucy Campbell fifth.
• 46:49
  That's your top five.
• 46:52
  Any thoughts about the women's side?
• 46:59
  Brooke had a great showing.
• 47:01
  Like,
• 47:01
  Fourth place, that's awesome for her.
• 47:04
  Not surprised to see Laura at the top.
• 47:07
  I think she had a missed
• 47:09
  execution on the last one at WFP one,
• 47:15
  but she's always been
• 47:16
  someone that can take a
• 47:18
  last place or close to a
• 47:19
  last place on an event,
• 47:21
  but be so dominant
• 47:22
  everywhere else that she's
• 47:23
  always on the podium.
• 47:26
  where she goes.
• 47:28
  Nice to see her back there.
• 47:29
  Emma had a great competition.
• 47:32
  She wasn't there at the first one, right?
• 47:34
  Her injury to the lat or
• 47:36
  something like that?
• 47:37
  I think she was there.
• 47:40
  I know that she was dealing
• 47:41
  with the shoulder lat thing
• 47:44
  at some point.
• 47:48
  All three Europeans on the podium.
• 47:53
  Amy Kringle, another good
• 47:55
  Finish at WFP.
• 47:56
  I think she podiumed the
• 47:57
  first time as well, if I remember.
• 48:01
  Maybe got third there as well.
• 48:06
  I thought emma lawson would
• 48:08
  do a little bit better um
• 48:11
  but if you if you look at
• 48:12
  like yesterday's workouts
• 48:14
  they were all big people
• 48:16
  workouts they were terrible
• 48:17
  you had me a hundred points
• 48:19
  insane you had the max
• 48:22
  clean you had the roll
• 48:25
  lunge the row lunge which
• 48:28
  you know will help if you
• 48:30
  can row and have big steps
• 48:31
  and big hands what was the
• 48:33
  other one all the bikes
• 48:35
  Yeah, all the machines was the factor.
• 48:38
  I think she took a hit a
• 48:39
  little bit yesterday.
• 48:41
  All of the smaller girls did yesterday.
• 48:43
  You had the Hannah Blacks
• 48:45
  and the strong athletes
• 48:47
  kind of took over yesterday.
• 48:49
  It was a big flip-flop of
• 48:52
  day one.
• 48:53
  Here's what I did want to
• 48:54
  say in a positive direction
• 48:56
  that I don't think many of
• 48:58
  us understand because we've
• 48:59
  never done a season like this, right?
• 49:02
  Where it all,
• 49:03
  it all accumulates over the season.
• 49:06
  These events don't need to
• 49:08
  be balanced by event.
• 49:10
  The season needs to be
• 49:11
  balanced by the season, right?
• 49:13
  Because the points
• 49:15
  accumulate from tour stop
• 49:17
  one through tour stop three.
• 49:20
  If you get a complete fair
• 49:22
  and balanced test through all three,
• 49:25
  then you've succeeded with
• 49:27
  their structure.
• 49:28
  And I know we are not used to that at all.
• 49:33
  We are used to the event itself has to be.
• 49:36
  I would agree with you if
• 49:38
  the challengers did the same workout.
• 49:42
  And the points were able to be placed.
• 49:48
  Well,
• 49:48
  they've already seen the shortcomings
• 49:49
  and challenges aren't going
• 49:50
  to be in the mix next year.
• 49:52
  Oh, that's good.
• 49:54
  It's just going to be one pro division.
• 49:56
  Yeah.
• 49:56
  Cause this is a mess and
• 49:58
  people can't get there.
• 50:00
  Like you can't move up.
• 50:01
  It's just trying to stay positive.
• 50:04
  I know.
• 50:04
  I mean,
• 50:04
  people are going to move up because
• 50:05
  there's injuries.
• 50:06
  I mean,
• 50:06
  there's been people out and not
• 50:08
  really competing.
• 50:08
  So you're going to see at least, you know,
• 50:11
  four to five spots changed this year.
• 50:17
  But I think both Wells
• 50:18
  sister actually did really well.
• 50:20
  Both in the top, what, seven there?
• 50:22
  Sydney didn't have a great last event.
• 50:25
  Eighth.
• 50:25
  Eighth, yeah.
• 50:28
  Annika, you know,
• 50:30
  had some amazing events and
• 50:32
  then just a couple...
• 50:33
  that we know with the Rhine
• 50:34
  and a few other things, but.
• 50:36
  Thank God she can clean her
• 50:37
  because I got her in the top ten.
• 50:40
  She is such a great lifter.
• 50:43
  Yeah, that was super impressive by her.
• 50:45
  Tyra too got her to twelve.
• 50:47
  Yeah, that was awesome.
• 50:51
  I agree with Clock.
• 50:53
  I mean,
• 50:54
  that goes with the arenas and using
• 50:58
  the machines.
• 50:59
  It's just you're going to
• 51:00
  see more of the hopper peppers.
• 51:03
  you're getting these bigger
• 51:04
  guys that it's just power output.
• 51:09
  Okay.
• 51:09
  Speaking of the guys,
• 51:12
  Roman Krennikoff with the victory,
• 51:14
  James Sprague takes second,
• 51:15
  Pat Vellner third, fourth.
• 51:19
  Wow.
• 51:20
  Only to be ten points out
• 51:21
  after that day one.
• 51:23
  Pretty impressive.
• 51:25
  Ricky Gerrard fifth.
• 51:27
  And then you see the rest
• 51:29
  finish out the top ten.
• 51:32
  But, like,
• 51:33
  it wasn't surprising to see him
• 51:35
  have a bad day one.
• 51:37
  He's not one of the best
• 51:38
  runners in the field.
• 51:39
  And handstand pushups,
• 51:41
  like strict handstand pushups,
• 51:42
  has traditionally not been
• 51:44
  amazing for him for high volume.
• 51:46
  So, like, people are like, oh,
• 51:47
  has he been training?
• 51:48
  It's like these just were
• 51:49
  bad events for him.
• 51:50
  Like, he had to survive them.
• 51:51
  And then all the rest of the
• 51:53
  strength and power, like,
• 51:54
  he was going to have a great day.
• 51:57
  end of the weekend like day
• 51:58
  two and day three just had
• 52:00
  to do what he had to do on
• 52:01
  day one and I mean he's
• 52:03
  another fourth place for
• 52:04
  him and another time that
• 52:07
  james beats beats him right
• 52:09
  yep yep I I I'm surprised
• 52:12
  hoppers as low as he is but
• 52:15
  very happy for roman good
• 52:17
  for him that's gotta be
• 52:19
  that's gotta feel good for
• 52:20
  roman you know he I think
• 52:22
  he need he needed that
• 52:24
  Yeah.
• 52:25
  And I have truly fallen in
• 52:26
  love with the dude after
• 52:28
  seeing him at the games,
• 52:29
  act like a little kid on the floor.
• 52:31
  Like I, he won me over in that day.
• 52:36
  So yeah.
• 52:37
  Congrats to Roman for the victory.
• 52:40
  And Sprague is just putting together like.
• 52:42
  I know.
• 52:43
  Consistent.
• 52:44
  He's putting together a career.
• 52:45
  I'm happy to see him up there.
• 52:47
  You know what?
• 52:47
  His clean was great too.
• 52:49
  Like he's gone so much stronger.
• 52:53
  Because back then, like a max event,
• 52:55
  it would be essentially almost, you know,
• 52:57
  a bottom three, bottom five.
• 52:59
  And the fact he still wasn't
• 53:01
  invited to tier Norco or
• 53:04
  tier SoCal is just a shame.
• 53:09
  But yeah.
• 53:13
  It's their event, but yeah, Pat, Pat,
• 53:15
  you know, good bounce back for him.
• 53:17
  I figured that, I mean, I said,
• 53:19
  this is exactly what Pat would do.
• 53:20
  Yeah.
• 53:21
  And he'll have enough points and.
• 53:27
  To be fair, Larry makes a good point.
• 53:29
  The bigger athletes have
• 53:30
  caught up on gymnastics.
• 53:31
  They've worked hard to get
• 53:33
  better at those things that
• 53:34
  they were traditionally bad at.
• 53:38
  I think it's just easier for
• 53:39
  them to fix the gymnastics
• 53:42
  than it is for a small
• 53:43
  person to get more powerful.
• 53:44
  Yeah.
• 53:47
  I will disagree that we
• 53:48
  didn't have as much
• 53:49
  machines programs before.
• 53:50
  We would only see the rower
• 53:52
  and running distance and
• 53:53
  maybe a little bit of biking.
• 53:54
  But now you have, you might see the echo,
• 53:57
  then you might see the ski, the row.
• 54:00
  You might even see the echo
• 54:01
  sometimes twice in a weekend.
• 54:03
  Yeah.
• 54:04
  I think that there's more.
• 54:07
  machines now still than, than before,
• 54:09
  but they have gone so much better.
• 54:11
  What,
• 54:11
  what some of those athletes can do at
• 54:12
  their body weight on the
• 54:14
  gymnastic stuff is, is crazy now.
• 54:16
  Yeah.
• 54:17
  Uh, can we talk about the list?
• 54:18
  Because, uh,
• 54:19
  seven people with over a four
• 54:21
  hundred pound clean,
• 54:22
  nine ladies with over two sixty.
• 54:24
  That's disgusting.
• 54:26
  So strong.
• 54:26
  That's awesome.
• 54:28
  And how about like Guy
• 54:30
  lifting ten pounds more
• 54:31
  than he thought he was?
• 54:32
  Yeah.
• 54:33
  Was he going for four forties?
• 54:34
  That was what happened.
• 54:36
  Oh my gosh.
• 54:37
  I had never seen him
• 54:38
  struggle and miss in all of my years.
• 54:40
  I was like, oh my God, he's missing.
• 54:43
  Like he's human.
• 54:44
  Yeah.
• 54:46
  He he was ten pounds heavier
• 54:48
  than he thought he was on
• 54:51
  like every lift.
• 54:52
  Colton said the same thing
• 54:53
  happened to him.
• 54:54
  Right.
• 54:55
  You get out there and you're
• 54:55
  just like nervous and then
• 54:57
  you just start adding on to
• 54:58
  what you think's on there.
• 55:01
  Instead of, like,
• 55:01
  re-adding the full bar every time.
• 55:03
  Sometimes it's just because, like,
• 55:05
  they're using the red
• 55:06
  plates and not three blues,
• 55:07
  so it just throws them off, like, fully.
• 55:10
  Because a lot of them never
• 55:11
  use the red plate,
• 55:12
  but I don't know what they
• 55:12
  had on the floor.
• 55:14
  If they had one red or two reds, two blues,
• 55:17
  you know, whatever they would have had,
• 55:20
  it just throws off the
• 55:21
  counting sometimes if
• 55:22
  that's not the precise...
• 55:25
  way that you would have
• 55:25
  loaded had you had like the
• 55:27
  weights that you wanted out
• 55:28
  there but it's just crazy
• 55:30
  to see the average of the
• 55:31
  lifts over the years just
• 55:33
  keep going up keep going up
• 55:35
  like back then if you could
• 55:37
  clean to thirty to thirty
• 55:39
  five at the games that was
• 55:41
  really good now that number
• 55:44
  is two fifty and two fifty
• 55:47
  to two sixty is the average
• 55:48
  right like that's where
• 55:50
  you're kind of hoping to be now
• 55:52
  I remember it was at fifteen
• 55:53
  where Brooke Hentz hit two fifty to win.
• 55:56
  And like it was a huge deal
• 55:57
  that she hit two fifty.
• 56:00
  And now we're talking that that's average.
• 56:02
  That's middle of the pack.
• 56:04
  Three.
• 56:05
  And on the men's side,
• 56:05
  you're looking at a three
• 56:06
  seventy three seventy five being,
• 56:08
  you know, average.
• 56:09
  Yeah.
• 56:11
  And back then, again,
• 56:11
  that would be probably a top top ten ish.
• 56:15
  Like, I think Matt Fraser in.
• 56:19
  I think his clean was like
• 56:23
  three eighty to win.
• 56:24
  Right.
• 56:25
  Right.
• 56:25
  To win that ladder.
• 56:26
  Yep.
• 56:29
  And now you have here.
• 56:31
  How many?
• 56:32
  Nine over four hundred.
• 56:33
  She was wrong.
• 56:33
  It was nine over four
• 56:35
  hundred and eleven over two sixty.
• 56:40
  It's wild.
• 56:40
  Well, if you also look at the challenger,
• 56:42
  I don't know as well.
• 56:44
  Right.
• 56:44
  Is that?
• 56:45
  Yeah.
• 56:45
  Yeah.
• 56:45
  Yep.
• 56:49
  I remember ENCE,
• 56:50
  but she got beat by a
• 56:51
  fourteen year old this year.
• 56:55
  That girl was crazy.
• 56:56
  So good.
• 57:01
  But her run was on the other side.
• 57:05
  Brooke ENCE's run wasn't great either.
• 57:08
  Let's be fair.
• 57:09
  All right.
• 57:09
  So now I got to find my talking points.
• 57:14
  Um, so we talked about the winners.
• 57:16
  I'm going to talk about a
• 57:17
  couple of things I liked,
• 57:18
  and then you guys can jump
• 57:19
  in with anything you might have.
• 57:21
  So I liked the score on the side.
• 57:24
  I talked about it with the age group games,
• 57:26
  the age group games.
• 57:27
  I like there's better
• 57:29
  because it actually had a
• 57:30
  line where a new apparatus would come in.
• 57:33
  Oh, nice.
• 57:34
  So you could see like when,
• 57:36
  like Jamie or Carolyn move
• 57:38
  from the GHD to the, uh,
• 57:41
  double under to the whatever.
• 57:43
  And you could see the lines
• 57:44
  as they jumped over it.
• 57:45
  And it would put little red
• 57:46
  and green arrows up and
• 57:48
  down as your trend on the leaderboard,
• 57:52
  which I thought was really good.
• 57:53
  That was missing from WFP,
• 57:56
  but I do applaud them.
• 57:57
  It is different than the top
• 57:59
  scoring that I do not care
• 58:00
  for in the regular CrossFit event.
• 58:03
  Cause it doesn't tell the whole story.
• 58:05
  The side one tells
• 58:06
  everybody's story from first to last.
• 58:10
  And I do like the way they
• 58:11
  count down at WFP.
• 58:14
  So you know how many reps
• 58:15
  are left for everybody.
• 58:16
  It's a lot easier to figure
• 58:18
  that out in my head as I'm
• 58:20
  watching everything.
• 58:21
  Yeah.
• 58:21
  And if you have no idea what
• 58:22
  the workout is,
• 58:23
  you at least know how much
• 58:25
  is left for work to be done to finish.
• 58:28
  Right.
• 58:29
  The age groups did it the best by far.
• 58:33
  That's positive.
• 58:36
  But WFP was close behind.
• 58:38
  I say by far and then close.
• 58:40
  It wasn't.
• 58:42
  Anyway, constructive criticism.
• 58:44
  Go look what the age groups
• 58:45
  did and keep moving in that direction,
• 58:47
  WFP, and you'll be in the right place.
• 58:53
  I get what they're trying to
• 58:54
  do with the lighting.
• 58:56
  I get what they're trying to do.
• 58:58
  And I think that if they can
• 58:59
  ever pull it off with full execution,
• 59:02
  it would be pretty cool.
• 59:05
  But the outside lanes are so
• 59:06
  dark on the broadcast.
• 59:09
  Yes.
• 59:11
  Like if they could get the
• 59:13
  lights pointed in the right
• 59:14
  directions to just light
• 59:17
  the floor and move it where
• 59:18
  it needs to move like they do,
• 59:20
  I think it would be a very
• 59:21
  cool effect and help with a
• 59:23
  broadcast and help with the storytelling.
• 59:27
  I just,
• 59:28
  there's just that small bit of
• 59:30
  execution error on the
• 59:31
  sides that need to be fixed.
• 59:37
  Yeah.
• 59:37
  Aaron and I talked about the
• 59:38
  lighting as well.
• 59:40
  And Lynn says here,
• 59:43
  the lighting in person is amazing.
• 59:44
  That's exactly what we said.
• 59:45
  I was like,
• 59:46
  I bet it looks awesome in person,
• 59:48
  but it is weird when you're
• 59:50
  watching it and you can see,
• 59:52
  it just seems like an added
• 59:53
  expense that like maybe isn't worth it.
• 59:56
  Like,
• 59:58
  I don't know.
• 59:59
  So Vi, in the middle lanes, you're fine.
• 1:00:02
  It's if someone's in the outer lanes,
• 1:00:04
  it's dark, especially on the wide view.
• 1:00:06
  Yes.
• 1:00:08
  You cannot see them very well.
• 1:00:10
  It is like dark.
• 1:00:13
  What really pronounced it to
• 1:00:14
  me is they finished an
• 1:00:16
  event and went right to a
• 1:00:18
  Rogue commercial when Rogue
• 1:00:20
  lit just the floor
• 1:00:21
  themselves and how bright
• 1:00:23
  the sidelines were.
• 1:00:26
  So it can be done.
• 1:00:30
  It's just at what expense?
• 1:00:31
  I don't know.
• 1:00:33
  Yeah.
• 1:00:38
  I thought,
• 1:00:38
  I thought there were a lot of
• 1:00:39
  close finishes.
• 1:00:40
  I love that everything
• 1:00:41
  finished on a finish line
• 1:00:42
  with a chip timer.
• 1:00:44
  I think that made it professional.
• 1:00:46
  I thought that made it clean.
• 1:00:48
  And I liked that a lot.
• 1:00:51
  I do want to give them credit.
• 1:00:52
  The broadcast does do wide shots and,
• 1:00:56
  They do do more than anybody else.
• 1:00:59
  Yeah.
• 1:01:00
  And they do a lot more
• 1:01:01
  sideline shot than anybody else,
• 1:01:04
  especially at the finish
• 1:01:06
  because they were focused
• 1:01:08
  on an event today in the
• 1:01:09
  Challenger where Ibarra had
• 1:01:11
  come up from behind and the
• 1:01:13
  announcers didn't see it.
• 1:01:14
  They were still focused on Tola.
• 1:01:17
  But you as the viewer could
• 1:01:18
  see Ibarra come up from
• 1:01:19
  behind and pass for the win.
• 1:01:21
  Right.
• 1:01:22
  And I'm cool with that.
• 1:01:23
  I'm cool with that because I
• 1:01:25
  got to see it.
• 1:01:26
  Yeah.
• 1:01:28
  I,
• 1:01:28
  I do think they are trending the right
• 1:01:30
  way with the, with the broadcast,
• 1:01:32
  with the camera placement.
• 1:01:34
  There's still, and they,
• 1:01:35
  and they do a pretty good job.
• 1:01:36
  They were, if someone would finish,
• 1:01:38
  they would do that single camera shot,
• 1:01:40
  but they would put them in
• 1:01:41
  the corner instead of,
• 1:01:43
  instead of just bring zoom
• 1:01:44
  in on them and you lose the field.
• 1:01:45
  So I like that they're trying to do that.
• 1:01:48
  There's still,
• 1:01:51
  there are still times where I'm like,
• 1:01:54
  And you posted this, like,
• 1:01:56
  showing a cameraman, like, up in front.
• 1:01:59
  And they did it on the finish today.
• 1:02:00
  Like,
• 1:02:00
  you could see a cameraman just up in
• 1:02:02
  someone, and he's, like,
• 1:02:03
  trying to get out of the way.
• 1:02:03
  Like,
• 1:02:04
  there's too many people on the
• 1:02:05
  freaking floor.
• 1:02:05
  That's a fact or fiction, Jamie.
• 1:02:07
  Oh, I haven't gotten down there.
• 1:02:11
  Yeah,
• 1:02:11
  there's too many people on the floor.
• 1:02:15
  And then the last thing is
• 1:02:15
  the press releases and the
• 1:02:16
  communication from WFP were really good.
• 1:02:20
  Yeah.
• 1:02:20
  Yeah.
• 1:02:21
  They posted a statement
• 1:02:22
  about Hatfield's GHD and
• 1:02:24
  what happened in their
• 1:02:25
  investigation and what
• 1:02:26
  conclusion they came to.
• 1:02:28
  All of that,
• 1:02:29
  their communication to the
• 1:02:30
  media has been really good
• 1:02:32
  over the weekend.
• 1:02:35
  So I really did dig that.
• 1:02:42
  This is just a little bit of
• 1:02:44
  constructive criticism.
• 1:02:45
  Can I get one more positive?
• 1:02:47
  Sure.
• 1:02:48
  I love their pre and post show with Annie,
• 1:02:52
  Katrin, and Seth.
• 1:02:55
  I like listening to their
• 1:02:58
  predictions or just their
• 1:03:00
  breakdown of the workouts
• 1:03:02
  and athlete performances.
• 1:03:04
  I think those three are
• 1:03:05
  extremely knowledgeable athletes.
• 1:03:08
  in general,
• 1:03:09
  like the sport of CrossFit and
• 1:03:10
  the athletes.
• 1:03:12
  And I just,
• 1:03:13
  I miss that type of like update
• 1:03:15
  show during, during a weekend.
• 1:03:16
  Like we don't really get
• 1:03:17
  that anymore at the games.
• 1:03:20
  So I think that's,
• 1:03:22
  that's something that's
• 1:03:22
  like really nice to have, you know,
• 1:03:24
  before the event starts and after.
• 1:03:26
  So really like that addition.
• 1:03:29
  Uh, CrossFat says,
• 1:03:31
  I wish ladies did more prep.
• 1:03:32
  Seth is a glue.
• 1:03:34
  Uh, Jenny from dense,
• 1:03:34
  Seth and Katrin carry that show.
• 1:03:37
  Um, Vi, I like that show too.
• 1:03:38
  Yeah.
• 1:03:41
  I think Seth is great.
• 1:03:41
  I think Katrin was great.
• 1:03:42
  I didn't get to watch a lot
• 1:03:43
  of it this weekend,
• 1:03:44
  just with the stuff I had going on.
• 1:03:47
  Um, I did watch all the events.
• 1:03:48
  I just didn't get all of the
• 1:03:49
  pre and post shows in.
• 1:03:51
  Um,
• 1:03:51
  but when I did see Seth talk and Katrin
• 1:03:53
  talk, I thought they were great,
• 1:03:55
  but I said they were great the last time.
• 1:03:57
  Right.
• 1:03:58
  Um,
• 1:03:59
  So this is just stuff for
• 1:04:04
  constructive criticism.
• 1:04:06
  Friday I talked about the storylines,
• 1:04:08
  that there is a storyline
• 1:04:12
  that's being missed.
• 1:04:13
  And as being a sports fan,
• 1:04:15
  you always want to know the playoff hunt,
• 1:04:17
  right?
• 1:04:19
  And in this case, for this event,
• 1:04:21
  everybody's confused by the points.
• 1:04:23
  So you need to make it as
• 1:04:24
  simple as possible.
• 1:04:26
  There are twenty people...
• 1:04:28
  that have the thing that
• 1:04:29
  everybody wants and you
• 1:04:31
  have all these other people
• 1:04:32
  trying to get it.
• 1:04:34
  Once you added a second event to the mix,
• 1:04:38
  you should have a line that
• 1:04:39
  says currently, if the season ended today,
• 1:04:42
  these twenty would be your
• 1:04:44
  top twenty and they'd be
• 1:04:45
  getting the thing.
• 1:04:47
  Right.
• 1:04:48
  And these are the people on
• 1:04:48
  the outside looking in,
• 1:04:50
  still working to try to get
• 1:04:51
  that thing or keep that thing.
• 1:04:55
  To me,
• 1:04:55
  that's the most important storyline
• 1:04:57
  of the season,
• 1:04:59
  especially in this points-driven season,
• 1:05:01
  when everybody is confused
• 1:05:07
  about the points.
• 1:05:09
  You simplify it into a
• 1:05:10
  graphic with a red line
• 1:05:13
  that says these twenty get
• 1:05:14
  to have a pro card if it's ended today,
• 1:05:17
  and these ten are fighting for it.
• 1:05:20
  Now, they did switch to, like,
• 1:05:21
  the fight for Copenhagen.
• 1:05:23
  Right.
• 1:05:23
  And if you don't understand
• 1:05:25
  the point system,
• 1:05:26
  you don't understand the
• 1:05:27
  importance of Copenhagen.
• 1:05:30
  You know, like,
• 1:05:32
  that's what's being missed.
• 1:05:33
  Yeah.
• 1:05:34
  Because what we all want is
• 1:05:37
  the guaranteed salary.
• 1:05:39
  That's what we're all fighting for.
• 1:05:42
  So you want to know the
• 1:05:43
  twenty that have it and the
• 1:05:44
  ten that are fighting for it.
• 1:05:47
  And how close is the race?
• 1:05:52
  CrossFit.
• 1:05:53
  I gotta bet.
• 1:05:54
  Scott loves an in the hunt
• 1:05:55
  graphic as a bears fan.
• 1:05:57
  Exactly.
• 1:05:59
  We try to stay in the hunt
• 1:06:00
  as long as we can,
• 1:06:01
  because we know at some
• 1:06:02
  point we're not going to be
• 1:06:04
  in the hunt anymore and we
• 1:06:05
  don't get to make the graphic.
• 1:06:09
  Yeah.
• 1:06:09
  I agree with, with, uh, what you said,
• 1:06:12
  they kept talking about
• 1:06:13
  Copenhagen and even that, like,
• 1:06:15
  they'd be like, Oh,
• 1:06:16
  these ones already are in
• 1:06:17
  these ones are the ones on the bubble.
• 1:06:19
  We need to look at the challenger.
• 1:06:21
  but I didn't quite get what
• 1:06:22
  they needed to do to kind
• 1:06:24
  of the different scenarios
• 1:06:26
  that you're talking about, right?
• 1:06:27
  Like everything is about Copenhagen,
• 1:06:29
  which is the next step,
• 1:06:29
  which I guess is important.
• 1:06:31
  I'm assuming at the Copenhagen finals,
• 1:06:33
  then they'll be talking about the pro.
• 1:06:36
  But yeah, more.
• 1:06:38
  But if you watch any other.
• 1:06:39
  More precision on the points.
• 1:06:41
  Never too early for an in
• 1:06:43
  the hunt graphic.
• 1:06:44
  Yeah.
• 1:06:45
  Never too early.
• 1:06:46
  So are they only taking
• 1:06:47
  thirty to Copenhagen?
• 1:06:48
  Yes.
• 1:06:48
  Yes.
• 1:06:53
  Yeah, there's no qualifier for that one.
• 1:06:55
  It's just based off the two...
• 1:06:59
  the top third,
• 1:07:00
  the top ten point getters
• 1:07:03
  that are not signed athletes.
• 1:07:05
  Yeah.
• 1:07:05
  And it's going to be more
• 1:07:06
  than that because, like,
• 1:07:07
  Bethany's withdrawn.
• 1:07:08
  Right, right.
• 1:07:09
  Whatever.
• 1:07:10
  So whatever the number ends up being.
• 1:07:12
  I think it's top eleven
• 1:07:13
  right now in the women, top ten in men,
• 1:07:15
  get to go to Copenhagen to
• 1:07:17
  compete with the pros for a shot.
• 1:07:22
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 1:07:22
  I think it should have been
• 1:07:23
  forty all along.
• 1:07:27
  I could not do more heats.
• 1:07:28
  No, I think thirty is perfect.
• 1:07:29
  I like the three heats.
• 1:07:30
  Well, that's because it's been fifty.
• 1:07:34
  Still,
• 1:07:37
  I think going over thirty for this
• 1:07:39
  thing is too much.
• 1:07:41
  Yeah, but I almost feel like the wrong...
• 1:07:46
  ten are getting in like like
• 1:07:48
  this danny camacho may
• 1:07:50
  being one of the being the
• 1:07:51
  tenth one getting in over
• 1:07:52
  like someone like tola is
• 1:07:54
  silly in my opinion I feel
• 1:07:56
  like he's got no no no
• 1:07:59
  business going to
• 1:07:59
  copenhagen needs to do better well
• 1:08:08
  It's just hard to qualify
• 1:08:10
  for two pro divisions.
• 1:08:13
  Like the two qualifiers are
• 1:08:14
  difficult for the
• 1:08:15
  challengers to try to qualify for.
• 1:08:18
  So it should have just been forty,
• 1:08:19
  not fifty, just full point system,
• 1:08:22
  and it wouldn't even be an
• 1:08:23
  issue right now.
• 1:08:24
  And we wouldn't have had to
• 1:08:24
  watch five heats,
• 1:08:25
  we would have watched four heats.
• 1:08:28
  And it would have been all
• 1:08:29
  one point system,
• 1:08:30
  and the bleeder boiler
• 1:08:31
  would make sense right now.
• 1:08:33
  Philby,
• 1:08:33
  is there a total points champion
• 1:08:35
  and a champion at
• 1:08:35
  Copenhagen for the event?
• 1:08:37
  I'm assuming there is.
• 1:08:39
  I don't know if there's a
• 1:08:40
  different payout for the
• 1:08:42
  season champion compared to
• 1:08:45
  the Copenhagen champion.
• 1:08:47
  I would assume there is because really,
• 1:08:50
  because we talked earlier,
• 1:08:52
  the season is the balance test.
• 1:08:54
  And if you win the season,
• 1:08:55
  you should be getting a
• 1:08:57
  bigger accolades than if you don't.
• 1:08:58
  Yeah.
• 1:09:03
  Um, Anderson.
• 1:09:04
  Yes.
• 1:09:04
  Bethany was there doing commentary.
• 1:09:06
  Can I say, I think she's getting better.
• 1:09:09
  I didn't hear it all from,
• 1:09:12
  from the games to now.
• 1:09:14
  I think she's gotten better.
• 1:09:15
  That's good.
• 1:09:16
  And I think she could be a
• 1:09:17
  great commentator moving forward.
• 1:09:19
  Okay.
• 1:09:22
  That's another thing I liked
• 1:09:23
  just as they mentioned it.
• 1:09:25
  I had problems with my volume,
• 1:09:28
  but when I would want to
• 1:09:29
  watch it on my phone,
• 1:09:30
  the volume wasn't working,
• 1:09:32
  but I could watch it on my
• 1:09:33
  computer and TV.
• 1:09:35
  And I kept thinking that I
• 1:09:36
  did something to my phone,
• 1:09:38
  but I think my speakers
• 1:09:39
  weird on my laptop.
• 1:09:40
  And I don't know.
• 1:09:41
  I know other people were
• 1:09:42
  complaining about the audio too.
• 1:09:44
  Yeah, but it was perfectly fine.
• 1:09:46
  I mean,
• 1:09:46
  I just ended up Chromecasting it to my TV,
• 1:09:50
  and that's how I watched it all weekend.
• 1:09:52
  But yeah, I just couldn't.
• 1:09:53
  And anyone that has posted
• 1:09:55
  something on Instagram that has the audio,
• 1:10:01
  I can't hear anything from the audio,
• 1:10:02
  even on their Instagram posts.
• 1:10:05
  I don't know why.
• 1:10:06
  But yeah, it's not just their websites.
• 1:10:08
  Any Instagram post of...
• 1:10:11
  people that had, I don't know,
• 1:10:12
  maybe the same version that
• 1:10:13
  I was listening to.
• 1:10:18
  Even fine.
• 1:10:19
  It wasn't particularly crisp.
• 1:10:21
  I agree.
• 1:10:21
  Cross fat.
• 1:10:23
  Hopefully they get that
• 1:10:24
  fixed for Copenhagen.
• 1:10:28
  The only other,
• 1:10:29
  the other bad thing I
• 1:10:29
  wanted to bring up is the withdrawals.
• 1:10:32
  It seems like every tour stop we have,
• 1:10:35
  especially on the women's side,
• 1:10:36
  a good chunk of withdrawals.
• 1:10:38
  I know you're going to have injuries.
• 1:10:40
  I know,
• 1:10:41
  But it really is... I know
• 1:10:45
  that injury is part of a season,
• 1:10:46
  just like in the NFL or the
• 1:10:48
  NBA or tennis or whatever.
• 1:10:50
  But damn,
• 1:10:51
  it's making a big chasm in the
• 1:10:55
  points on this season for the women.
• 1:10:58
  Yep.
• 1:11:03
  So... I thought having three
• 1:11:07
  people out quickly was...
• 1:11:11
  And you know,
• 1:11:12
  because we know that Raptors
• 1:11:14
  had a back issue at the games just, what,
• 1:11:17
  three weeks ago.
• 1:11:19
  You know,
• 1:11:19
  she probably just signed up to
• 1:11:20
  fulfill her contract.
• 1:11:22
  And that's where you get
• 1:11:26
  that pro card bad end of it.
• 1:11:30
  Like people are just going
• 1:11:31
  to sign up to check the box
• 1:11:34
  so they can get their money
• 1:11:36
  and do whatever.
• 1:11:42
  But I just, I want to see them out there.
• 1:11:46
  I want to see thirty healthy.
• 1:11:51
  That's the thing with thirty.
• 1:11:52
  If you're going to go with thirty,
• 1:11:54
  it needs to be thirty.
• 1:12:00
  But,
• 1:12:01
  and the other thing I think that we
• 1:12:03
  learned,
• 1:12:04
  and Carolyn brought it up earlier, is
• 1:12:05
  if you know,
• 1:12:06
  Justin Cutler always uses the
• 1:12:08
  term bulletproof athletes
• 1:12:12
  and that we've only had a
• 1:12:13
  few in the history of the sport.
• 1:12:14
  Yeah.
• 1:12:15
  You know, Matt, Rich, Tia,
• 1:12:19
  there are no bulletproof
• 1:12:20
  athletes in this event and it is obvious.
• 1:12:23
  They're all program dependent.
• 1:12:25
  They all have their grooves.
• 1:12:26
  They all have their misses
• 1:12:28
  and it makes the leaderboard jump,
• 1:12:31
  which is something really cool.
• 1:12:33
  If we could just get it
• 1:12:34
  highlighted in a way that
• 1:12:35
  made sense to people.
• 1:12:45
  Greatest ability is availability.
• 1:12:47
  That's true.
• 1:12:50
  the money the time yep just
• 1:12:52
  being able to get there is
• 1:12:56
  yeah all right we are
• 1:13:00
  running along tonight so
• 1:13:01
  let's get through Factor
• 1:13:02
  Fiction and we're gonna hit
• 1:13:05
  them quick tonight here we
• 1:13:06
  go Factor Fiction there
• 1:13:09
  were more spectators at the
• 1:13:10
  age group CrossFit games
• 1:13:12
  than there were for WFP tour stop two
• 1:13:16
  I think fact.
• 1:13:17
  I mean, you couldn't really see.
• 1:13:18
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 1:13:22
  I think fact, though.
• 1:13:25
  So when I first put this up,
• 1:13:26
  it was Friday.
• 1:13:27
  I think on Friday it was
• 1:13:28
  definitely age group.
• 1:13:31
  When I looked at it now,
• 1:13:34
  I'm thinking I couldn't really see.
• 1:13:36
  I couldn't see on the weekend,
• 1:13:38
  but their stands, especially in the end,
• 1:13:40
  were only like three levels up.
• 1:13:43
  Like the age group were bigger than that.
• 1:13:47
  And if you're making it so
• 1:13:48
  dark I can't see, what are you hiding?
• 1:13:50
  Right.
• 1:13:53
  That is something age group
• 1:13:54
  needs to think about, though.
• 1:13:56
  Those stands, they're too small.
• 1:13:58
  There was not enough seating.
• 1:14:00
  That was a big complaint.
• 1:14:00
  When that's the problem you have,
• 1:14:02
  that's a good problem.
• 1:14:03
  I agree.
• 1:14:04
  None of us expected to go to
• 1:14:06
  age group and have that as a problem.
• 1:14:08
  You're right.
• 1:14:12
  But age group was packed house.
• 1:14:15
  Every floor, every event, every age group.
• 1:14:18
  It was crazy.
• 1:14:19
  I did not expect that at all.
• 1:14:22
  So more love for the age group games,
• 1:14:26
  more than the hate for the other.
• 1:14:30
  The stands could go up higher, Denise.
• 1:14:32
  They only set them up so high,
• 1:14:34
  but they actually could have gone much,
• 1:14:37
  much higher.
• 1:14:42
  All right.
• 1:14:43
  Fact of fiction, too.
• 1:14:45
  None of the entities, including CrossFit,
• 1:14:47
  have that singular thing to
• 1:14:49
  fight for that helped it
• 1:14:50
  grow ten years ago.
• 1:14:52
  And when I say that singular thing,
• 1:14:53
  the example is ten years ago,
• 1:14:56
  we were all fighting sugar, right?
• 1:14:58
  The Coca-Cola Wars and that
• 1:15:01
  they had put this study
• 1:15:02
  together saying CrossFit was dangerous.
• 1:15:04
  And CrossFit as an entity fought that.
• 1:15:07
  And then the entire
• 1:15:08
  community was able to back that.
• 1:15:11
  And because of that,
• 1:15:12
  we felt unified and as one
• 1:15:15
  moving forward.
• 1:15:16
  And now we don't have that anymore.
• 1:15:19
  So now we're split because
• 1:15:20
  we're all fighting for
• 1:15:21
  different things and
• 1:15:22
  different... So none of the
• 1:15:27
  entities have that singular thing.
• 1:15:30
  Fact or fiction?
• 1:15:32
  I'll say fact.
• 1:15:33
  Hmm.
• 1:15:41
  do yeah I do feel like we're
• 1:15:42
  all like we're just kind of
• 1:15:44
  tearing each other down in
• 1:15:45
  different places yeah so
• 1:15:48
  I'll say fact like we're
• 1:15:51
  just not working together
• 1:15:53
  yeah I feel like I mean
• 1:15:54
  even through it within
• 1:15:55
  crossfit it's I I think I
• 1:16:00
  mean I feel like this new
• 1:16:01
  campaign could go in the
• 1:16:03
  right direction but in my mind like
• 1:16:08
  when you,
• 1:16:08
  when people say they want to go
• 1:16:10
  professional and then they
• 1:16:10
  want all these more events and then,
• 1:16:12
  and then it doesn't pan out well,
• 1:16:14
  like we don't see,
• 1:16:17
  we don't see like the
• 1:16:18
  pinnacle of fitness.
• 1:16:19
  We see breaking down because
• 1:16:21
  they're trying to compete so much.
• 1:16:23
  Um, I think, I think that's where, like I,
• 1:16:27
  the way like Carolyn trains,
• 1:16:28
  it's like the way I train, like,
• 1:16:30
  I think using the
• 1:16:31
  methodology to be fit year
• 1:16:34
  round and always, um,
• 1:16:38
  I wish CrossFit would go in
• 1:16:39
  that direction and promote healthy,
• 1:16:43
  like not promoting four
• 1:16:45
  hundred plus pound cleans.
• 1:16:46
  Like,
• 1:16:46
  I think that's where we get into
• 1:16:48
  problems is when we keep
• 1:16:48
  pushing the weight and then
• 1:16:49
  we're breaking down
• 1:16:50
  athletes and we're just
• 1:16:51
  pushing for these big
• 1:16:52
  numbers and we're just not
• 1:16:53
  it's not a it's not a
• 1:16:55
  well-rounded test of just a
• 1:16:59
  good chipper of movements.
• 1:17:02
  CrossFit started because
• 1:17:04
  Greg wanted his mother to
• 1:17:05
  be able to bend over and
• 1:17:06
  pick up a pencil off the floor.
• 1:17:07
  Yeah.
• 1:17:08
  And to get off the toilet, right?
• 1:17:10
  Yes.
• 1:17:10
  And now we've gone to this
• 1:17:11
  thing where we're looking
• 1:17:13
  at these superheroes that
• 1:17:15
  are doing things like on
• 1:17:18
  the tip of the spear.
• 1:17:20
  And it's awesome that they can do that.
• 1:17:23
  But we're...
• 1:17:24
  we're almost moving the
• 1:17:26
  methodology in that
• 1:17:27
  direction when we shouldn't be.
• 1:17:28
  Yes.
• 1:17:29
  We should be celebrating
• 1:17:31
  what the methodology is and
• 1:17:33
  the overall fitness.
• 1:17:34
  Right.
• 1:17:36
  And that's what the sugar thing did.
• 1:17:39
  And someone saying that your
• 1:17:41
  methodology is dangerous
• 1:17:43
  and us coming as one saying, no,
• 1:17:45
  it's not.
• 1:17:46
  It's what saved our lives.
• 1:17:47
  It's what we, we do to be healthy and,
• 1:17:51
  And we've lost that call to arms.
• 1:17:53
  And this is inspired by
• 1:17:54
  Tyler Watkins' story on Barbell Spin,
• 1:17:57
  where he made a graphic
• 1:17:59
  calling that that singular
• 1:18:00
  focus is what causes the
• 1:18:02
  religion in the sport and
• 1:18:04
  then the crusade that you
• 1:18:05
  go after as a unified front.
• 1:18:08
  And that is a metaphor that
• 1:18:10
  it's not a literal
• 1:18:12
  religious translation into anything.
• 1:18:14
  It's just,
• 1:18:15
  that's something that you're
• 1:18:16
  very passionate about and
• 1:18:18
  that everybody comes
• 1:18:19
  together as a community and fights for.
• 1:18:21
  Yeah.
• 1:18:26
  Like, I think both can exist.
• 1:18:27
  I think you can be promoting, you know,
• 1:18:29
  the tip of the spear and
• 1:18:31
  using that as your, you know,
• 1:18:32
  the greatest marketing tool in terms of,
• 1:18:35
  what the peak of, you know, fitness is,
• 1:18:40
  but then also talk about
• 1:18:43
  the methodology and, you know,
• 1:18:44
  what they're doing is exceptional.
• 1:18:47
  However, you know,
• 1:18:49
  your average person at the
• 1:18:51
  gym is not doing all this
• 1:18:53
  and it's scalable and it's, you know,
• 1:18:55
  community and all that.
• 1:18:56
  And I think you can still do both.
• 1:18:58
  It's just,
• 1:18:59
  I just find everyone's just
• 1:19:02
  negative and competing with
• 1:19:03
  each other everywhere.
• 1:19:04
  And,
• 1:19:05
  It's not helping.
• 1:19:05
  It's not helping for the sponsors.
• 1:19:09
  And honestly,
• 1:19:10
  I think we're missing just a
• 1:19:11
  huge title sponsor.
• 1:19:13
  We have all these different
• 1:19:14
  sponsors at all of these
• 1:19:16
  events and they're clashed.
• 1:19:18
  They're not allowing
• 1:19:19
  probably other sponsors to
• 1:19:20
  come in to help.
• 1:19:24
  But when we had Reebok as that big sponsor,
• 1:19:29
  that was huge.
• 1:19:32
  But Reebok was tied to the affiliates.
• 1:19:34
  All the affiliates were
• 1:19:35
  wearing Reebok and Reebok clothes.
• 1:19:38
  And we were doing the same.
• 1:19:40
  That connection has been
• 1:19:42
  severed for some reason.
• 1:19:45
  And we need to get that back.
• 1:19:47
  Yeah.
• 1:19:47
  Like just not having that
• 1:19:48
  huge title sponsor that
• 1:19:50
  we've had has been hard, I think,
• 1:19:52
  ever since we've lost that.
• 1:19:55
  It's been difficult for new
• 1:19:56
  people to kind of take over
• 1:19:59
  what was there and just
• 1:20:00
  kind of push it even further.
• 1:20:01
  Yeah.
• 1:20:02
  Yeah.
• 1:20:05
  All right.
• 1:20:07
  Next one.
• 1:20:09
  Fact or fiction though WFP
• 1:20:10
  can write the ship and head
• 1:20:12
  in the right direction.
• 1:20:19
  Can I mean, I guess I'll say fact,
• 1:20:22
  I guess it's possible.
• 1:20:25
  Yeah, I just don't know.
• 1:20:26
  I just don't know, like, fact.
• 1:20:28
  Like,
• 1:20:29
  they can continue to get better and
• 1:20:32
  improve.
• 1:20:32
  It just depends what kind of
• 1:20:34
  income they're able to, like,
• 1:20:37
  the sustainability of it.
• 1:20:38
  And if, you know,
• 1:20:41
  they're taking a chance by
• 1:20:42
  putting it this big and
• 1:20:43
  improving and doing everything,
• 1:20:45
  hoping probably that, you know,
• 1:20:47
  someone will pick them up
• 1:20:48
  and it'll kind of grow from there.
• 1:20:50
  So it's kind of like a...
• 1:20:52
  all in risky thing at the
• 1:20:54
  start with hopes of it
• 1:20:57
  working out in the end.
• 1:20:59
  But like, I see them wanting to, you know,
• 1:21:03
  continue to improve it and
• 1:21:04
  move in the right direction
• 1:21:05
  for the athletes.
• 1:21:07
  Yeah.
• 1:21:07
  I mean, what's their direction.
• 1:21:08
  I like quite honestly, I,
• 1:21:10
  I don't even know that
• 1:21:11
  we're on the same page as
• 1:21:13
  their leadership.
• 1:21:14
  So who knows?
• 1:21:19
  Yeah.
• 1:21:19
  I, I think for me,
• 1:21:23
  because I was a volunteer
• 1:21:24
  for so long before I became
• 1:21:25
  a media member and I have
• 1:21:26
  so many friends in the
• 1:21:27
  space I think that wfp
• 1:21:29
  needs to listen to
• 1:21:30
  constructive feedback and
• 1:21:32
  not shut it down if they're
• 1:21:35
  going to head in the right
• 1:21:36
  direction and they're going
• 1:21:40
  to have to humble
• 1:21:41
  themselves enough to do that yeah
• 1:21:47
  The problem is no one's going to do,
• 1:21:50
  like Dan said,
• 1:21:53
  no one's going to do both next year.
• 1:21:55
  Or not many.
• 1:21:57
  If they're going to do five
• 1:21:58
  or six events next year,
• 1:22:00
  they would really have to
• 1:22:02
  change the way that
• 1:22:03
  athletes can maybe go.
• 1:22:04
  They have to go to a minimum
• 1:22:05
  of three events.
• 1:22:07
  But then if you're trying to
• 1:22:08
  win that whole tour,
• 1:22:10
  you have to go to a lot of
• 1:22:11
  them to accumulate.
• 1:22:12
  So I don't know what that
• 1:22:13
  looks like point-wise,
• 1:22:15
  but if they're doing five or six events,
• 1:22:16
  I just don't see many
• 1:22:18
  athletes being able to do both.
• 1:22:20
  So athletes are going to
• 1:22:22
  have to make a decision
• 1:22:24
  what's more important for
• 1:22:25
  them financially or title-wise,
• 1:22:29
  what they're putting the emphasis on.
• 1:22:33
  But yeah, I just don't see...
• 1:22:36
  many people do in both next
• 1:22:38
  year and unless they change
• 1:22:39
  completely the format that
• 1:22:42
  they'll like that they
• 1:22:43
  would have to compete at a
• 1:22:46
  certain you know without
• 1:22:49
  because the thing is maybe
• 1:22:51
  they take their best three
• 1:22:52
  results out of the six you
• 1:22:56
  can go to five you can go
• 1:22:57
  to six but like you take
• 1:22:59
  your top three let's let's
• 1:23:01
  say there's six events six is the finals
• 1:23:04
  You have to go to at least your,
• 1:23:08
  the pros get an automatic to, you know,
• 1:23:11
  all five of them.
• 1:23:12
  You take your best two or three results.
• 1:23:19
  You can go to all five and
• 1:23:20
  hope that your average, you know, you,
• 1:23:22
  you take your best, your best three,
• 1:23:24
  or you just go all in on two or three,
• 1:23:27
  whatever it would be.
• 1:23:29
  I don't know how that works.
• 1:23:30
  Does that even make sense?
• 1:23:34
  It does,
• 1:23:35
  but I don't think it makes sense
• 1:23:36
  for them.
• 1:23:37
  No.
• 1:23:37
  Because they need as many
• 1:23:39
  stars at each event as possible,
• 1:23:41
  or their chances of making
• 1:23:43
  money are even less than we
• 1:23:44
  all think that making money is.
• 1:23:47
  So then I just don't think
• 1:23:48
  that people will do both seasons.
• 1:23:50
  They're either all in on the WFP next year,
• 1:23:52
  or they're all in on the game season.
• 1:23:55
  Here's where I think that
• 1:23:56
  WFP can make a difference.
• 1:23:57
  If they're humble enough to
• 1:23:58
  take some direction is that
• 1:24:00
  if the sponsors are thinned out next year,
• 1:24:03
  that means less athletes
• 1:24:04
  are going to get sponsorship dollars.
• 1:24:07
  And if athletes get less
• 1:24:08
  sponsorship dollars and WFP says,
• 1:24:11
  here's some cash, come join us.
• 1:24:13
  That's going to be an awful
• 1:24:14
  tempting offer.
• 1:24:16
  And I reported earlier this
• 1:24:18
  week that I've heard from
• 1:24:18
  several people at the age
• 1:24:20
  group games that WFP is
• 1:24:22
  going to try to go exclusive next year.
• 1:24:25
  And Denise heard that they
• 1:24:27
  are looking at adding the
• 1:24:28
  age groups to the mix next year.
• 1:24:32
  So that one,
• 1:24:34
  that's a huge step when you
• 1:24:35
  don't have your ducks in a row yet.
• 1:24:36
  Yeah.
• 1:24:37
  But I mean,
• 1:24:39
  it may be the opportune time
• 1:24:41
  that they have to do it now or never.
• 1:24:42
  Yeah.
• 1:24:46
  Yes.
• 1:24:47
  I heard.
• 1:24:52
  I noticed your herd belt
• 1:24:53
  wasn't in that belt to sell.
• 1:24:56
  No.
• 1:24:57
  I had other ones too, but I mean,
• 1:24:59
  I can't sell Lex's gear that's here.
• 1:25:06
  But nope.
• 1:25:08
  No herd was being sold.
• 1:25:10
  They had an adaptive open form too.
• 1:25:18
  all this and that in the
• 1:25:18
  sale just makes things
• 1:25:21
  really cray cray in my head.
• 1:25:23
  I can't even believe I just
• 1:25:24
  said that anyway.
• 1:25:29
  All right.
• 1:25:30
  With that one last factor fiction,
• 1:25:34
  my riff of the week factor fiction,
• 1:25:38
  cameramen and camera women
• 1:25:39
  do not need to be on the
• 1:25:41
  floor at all at these fast
• 1:25:44
  fitnessing events.
• 1:25:46
  A hundred percent fact.
• 1:25:47
  Oh my God.
• 1:25:50
  I will tell you no less than,
• 1:25:53
  than watching live at the
• 1:25:55
  CrossFit games did the same.
• 1:25:59
  He's there all the time at
• 1:26:00
  every single CrossFit event
• 1:26:02
  steps right in front of the
• 1:26:03
  lead person that blocks out
• 1:26:06
  the view for every live viewer in the,
• 1:26:09
  in the arena.
• 1:26:10
  It is so stupid, so stupid.
• 1:26:16
  You go watch any other event.
• 1:26:17
  There's not a cameraman on
• 1:26:18
  the floor at a tennis match.
• 1:26:20
  There's not a cameraman on
• 1:26:21
  the floor at a football
• 1:26:22
  game or a basketball game.
• 1:26:25
  They are like under the
• 1:26:25
  hoops or they're off to the
• 1:26:27
  sideline or they're over here.
• 1:26:29
  Cameras have a zoom, right?
• 1:26:32
  We are in the twenty first century.
• 1:26:35
  If you want the close up,
• 1:26:36
  you can get it in other ways.
• 1:26:38
  Plus,
• 1:26:39
  you have ten judges on the floor with
• 1:26:42
  ten athletes.
• 1:26:43
  It's already a mess out there.
• 1:26:47
  I remember at the age group at one point,
• 1:26:48
  I'm heading back to my pull-up bar,
• 1:26:50
  and one camera person is on my mat,
• 1:26:54
  like the riser mat to jump up.
• 1:26:58
  He's filming the lane next to me on my mat,
• 1:27:00
  and I'm like, I'm coming here.
• 1:27:02
  Please.
• 1:27:03
  Like, move.
• 1:27:04
  I probably wanted to break, but.
• 1:27:09
  I had two judges say that
• 1:27:11
  they couldn't get to where
• 1:27:13
  they needed to get to
• 1:27:14
  because of the camera people.
• 1:27:18
  It's already tough enough out there.
• 1:27:19
  Yeah.
• 1:27:21
  We need to like get them off
• 1:27:23
  the damn floor.
• 1:27:23
  Totally agree.
• 1:27:25
  If you want to make this any
• 1:27:27
  kind of viewable sport,
• 1:27:29
  either live or on a broadcast,
• 1:27:31
  they need to get out of the damn way.
• 1:27:35
  The broadcast should not be broadcast.
• 1:27:37
  Yeah.
• 1:27:47
  Denise wants to know,
• 1:27:47
  did you knock him off the mat?
• 1:27:57
  No.
• 1:28:00
  I think the games are
• 1:28:01
  limited to two handhelds.
• 1:28:02
  That is not true.
• 1:28:04
  They have two over the
• 1:28:05
  shoulder that one has half the floor,
• 1:28:10
  the other has the other
• 1:28:11
  half of the floor.
• 1:28:12
  And then they have...
• 1:28:14
  my buddy who filmed my documentary,
• 1:28:17
  Mike Coslap with his
• 1:28:21
  orbital camera going up
• 1:28:23
  into every face and
• 1:28:25
  everything all over the floor.
• 1:28:37
  At least if they'll be on the floor,
• 1:28:38
  let it be so funny.
• 1:28:39
  So small.
• 1:28:39
  He won't block anything.
• 1:28:45
  One or two are CrossFitters.
• 1:28:49
  So they're aware of spacing
• 1:28:51
  and where they need to move?
• 1:28:52
  Maybe.
• 1:28:53
  I don't know.
• 1:28:56
  They're in the way too often
• 1:28:58
  to be worth it.
• 1:29:01
  CrossFit, I don't care what he is.
• 1:29:04
  They don't need to be on the floor.
• 1:29:07
  Yeah.
• 1:29:10
  There is something going on on the floor.
• 1:29:14
  Let that be documented from the sidelines,
• 1:29:18
  just like every other sport in the world.
• 1:29:22
  Could you imagine at a soccer match,
• 1:29:25
  a cameraman running out onto the pitch,
• 1:29:28
  he would get killed.
• 1:29:36
  Yeah.
• 1:29:41
  We'd lose some epic rich low
• 1:29:42
  to high moments.
• 1:29:46
  That's the price of doing business.
• 1:29:48
  Yeah.
• 1:29:53
  Anyway.
• 1:29:54
  All right.
• 1:29:55
  That's the end of that.
• 1:29:56
  Um,
• 1:29:58
  I'm sure I'll rant about that all week
• 1:30:01
  on the lunch show.
• 1:30:03
  So come here more of that there.
• 1:30:06
  I'm trying to find, there we go.
• 1:30:08
  So, um,
• 1:30:11
  A couple quick hitters.
• 1:30:12
  Emma Lawson is now tier.
• 1:30:14
  And the question is,
• 1:30:15
  is Noble gone forever?
• 1:30:19
  Kind of seems that way, huh?
• 1:30:21
  Who do they have left?
• 1:30:24
  No one.
• 1:30:25
  No.
• 1:30:26
  Justin just switched.
• 1:30:28
  She just switched.
• 1:30:29
  He has been gone.
• 1:30:30
  Brooke's been gone.
• 1:30:31
  Brooke's been gone.
• 1:30:35
  It was like the only one I could think of.
• 1:30:37
  Maybe Bailey Rail.
• 1:30:37
  Yeah.
• 1:30:38
  Yeah.
• 1:30:41
  Was Sam Dancer a Noble?
• 1:30:42
  Is Bailey Rayl even still competing?
• 1:30:46
  I'm trying to think of other
• 1:30:47
  athletes that I've seen in Noble, maybe.
• 1:30:53
  Yeah, Sam was,
• 1:30:53
  but I don't know what he's wearing.
• 1:30:55
  Yeah, I forgot to look what he was.
• 1:30:58
  They have Tom Brady and
• 1:30:59
  Peloton instructors.
• 1:31:04
  Sam Dancer, Brooke.
• 1:31:06
  Yeah, they're gone.
• 1:31:11
  um and then last thing is
• 1:31:17
  crossfit on his on their in
• 1:31:19
  your face marketing with
• 1:31:22
  this little instagram post
• 1:31:24
  that they put up this
• 1:31:25
  weekend because why get
• 1:31:29
  along when we can ruffle the feathers
• 1:31:49
  I mean, you got to run with your slogan.
• 1:31:51
  That's been your thing.
• 1:31:53
  Don't back down.
• 1:31:54
  I don't mind that they ran it.
• 1:31:56
  But I think it needs to be
• 1:31:57
  attached to something.
• 1:31:59
  Right now,
• 1:32:00
  I think CrossFit is pulling up
• 1:32:01
  all the old stuff to run that.
• 1:32:03
  Because we romanticized the
• 1:32:07
  old days when CrossFit was rogue.
• 1:32:10
  But it's not connected to
• 1:32:11
  anything of meaning.
• 1:32:14
  It needs to get connected to
• 1:32:15
  something of meaning.
• 1:32:17
  Get the affiliates more
• 1:32:18
  connected to the sport.
• 1:32:19
  Get the community involved, something.
• 1:32:23
  It needs... This is a great first step.
• 1:32:28
  They're getting interest.
• 1:32:29
  People are getting fired up.
• 1:32:30
  People are wearing the pukey shirts again.
• 1:32:32
  People are wearing the
• 1:32:34
  Forging Elite Fitness stuff again.
• 1:32:36
  And all that came out on the store.
• 1:32:37
  You can get it now online.
• 1:32:39
  Okay.
• 1:32:43
  But if it's not connected to something,
• 1:32:46
  it's going to fall flat.
• 1:32:52
  Yeah.
• 1:32:54
  And that goes back to the
• 1:32:55
  singular focus of a community.
• 1:32:58
  I think we're missing that
• 1:32:59
  and we've got to find it again.
• 1:33:02
  I'm like the one part in
• 1:33:03
  Mean Girls where it's like,
• 1:33:04
  I just wish we could all get along.
• 1:33:06
  Yeah.
• 1:33:08
  Like I wish,
• 1:33:09
  I wish that like we were at a
• 1:33:10
  point where like CrossFit would be,
• 1:33:12
  you know,
• 1:33:13
  watch all of our fittest
• 1:33:14
  athletes take on this
• 1:33:16
  competition and you know,
• 1:33:19
  something, you know,
• 1:33:20
  that we're like working together,
• 1:33:21
  but like,
• 1:33:21
  we're so far away from that
• 1:33:23
  because WFP obviously can't
• 1:33:25
  use the name CrossFit,
• 1:33:27
  but it's just too bad that we can't be,
• 1:33:29
  you know,
• 1:33:30
  promoting just like when our
• 1:33:31
  athletes go do high rocks, right?
• 1:33:33
  Like it's like,
• 1:33:34
  watch this fitness athlete
• 1:33:37
  do take on a high rocks race.
• 1:33:39
  And this person, these,
• 1:33:41
  all these athletes compete
• 1:33:42
  at the games and here they
• 1:33:43
  are taking on a new set of
• 1:33:45
  tests from a world fitness project.
• 1:33:48
  And just, you know,
• 1:33:50
  She doesn't even go here.
• 1:33:50
  I know.
• 1:33:50
  I'll just get along.
• 1:33:55
  Friday there hit me with so
• 1:33:56
  many mean girl quotes.
• 1:33:59
  I have not seen the movie in
• 1:34:00
  thirty years and I don't
• 1:34:02
  remember anything about it.
• 1:34:04
  It was not an impactful
• 1:34:05
  movie on my life and
• 1:34:07
  they're going to make me
• 1:34:09
  have to watch this thing
• 1:34:10
  again because they throw
• 1:34:12
  quotes in all the time.
• 1:34:15
  But with that, guys...
• 1:34:19
  It was a long rundown show,
• 1:34:20
  but we tried to keep it as
• 1:34:23
  positive with constructive
• 1:34:24
  feedback that we could.
• 1:34:28
  And hopefully we did that
• 1:34:28
  for you guys tonight.
• 1:34:30
  Don't forget to like and subscribe.
• 1:34:31
  And if you want to play
• 1:34:32
  fantasy football...
• 1:34:34

• 1:34:35
  section after the show is
• 1:34:37
  done and I will get you
• 1:34:39
  reached out to you.
• 1:34:40
  So you can send me an email
• 1:34:41
  and we can get that set up
• 1:34:42
  for Wednesday night with that.
• 1:34:45
  Thank you ladies for being back.
• 1:34:47
  It was much nicer having you
• 1:34:48
  here as opposed to going solo.
• 1:34:51
  Denise,
• 1:34:52
  it was nice to meet you and talk to you.
• 1:34:55
  Congratulations.
• 1:34:56
  Yes.

  Yeah.
• 1:34:59
  I can.
• 1:34:59
  Denise showed that metal.
• 1:35:00
  It is thick.

• 1:35:38
  I will jump on and I'll
• 1:35:39
  continue to riff about my camera people.
• 1:35:42
  With that, love you all.
• 1:35:43
  See you soon.
• 1:35:45
  And dang it,
• 1:35:46

  Bye.
