  My shoulders are still

  about it's it's kind of
• 1:38
  like slow news day as we
• 1:39
  gear up for the weekend um
• 1:44
  and I I just was trying to
• 1:46
  put something together
• 1:47
  today so I have like a big
• 1:48
  old smorgasbord of stuff I
• 1:51
  don't know if any of it
• 1:52
  will be uh something we can
• 1:55
  dive more into or what but I um
• 2:01
  aaron fraser said I should
• 2:02
  start to show with the lift
• 2:04
  that means I'd have to move
• 2:05
  my equipment to the
• 2:06
  basement um to do that um
• 2:11
  or move my podcast to the
• 2:12
  garage um one or the other
• 2:15
  but uh yeah um but that'd
• 2:22
  be fun it'd be fun um so anyway
• 2:29
  It's been a wild week, right?
• 2:31
  We had a good show on Sunday night.
• 2:33
  We had a lot of comments on the show.
• 2:36
  And then we put out that reel about,
• 2:41
  did Mayhem program everything,
• 2:43
  fact or fiction?
• 2:44
  That has gotten a lot of comments.
• 2:48
  It's gotten more comments.
• 2:53
  It's got a lot of comments.
• 2:55
  A ton of comments.
• 2:58
  But anyway, in my YouTube comments,
• 3:03
  I have a guy,
• 3:05
  because we started this show
• 3:06
  off talking about the grid league,
• 3:11
  and John and Lauren,
• 3:14
  my friend Lauren Olson,
• 3:16
  and John competing in the grid league,
• 3:18
  and that we watched that,
• 3:19
  and a guy commented, what,
• 3:21
  are you on the payroll of
• 3:24
  the grid league?
• 3:27
  We've talked about the grid
• 3:28
  league one time,
• 3:30
  one time to open up the
• 3:34
  show on Sunday night.
• 3:36
  And now people are accusing me of the,
• 3:38
  of being on the payroll for
• 3:40
  the grid league.
• 3:41
  I mean, people need to get a life.
• 3:46
  Like what the hell?
• 3:49
  Five minutes talking about
• 3:50
  the grid league in twelve
• 3:52
  hundred episodes.
• 3:53
  And now I'm on their payroll.
• 3:56
  So crazy.
• 3:59
  But yeah, the reel we put out,
• 4:02
  I hope it pays well.
• 4:04
  Yeah, not so much.
• 4:08
  Jody,
• 4:09
  like right now we're currently
• 4:11
  running no sponsors, no anything.
• 4:13
  We do all this free.
• 4:16
  Looking for some sponsors,
• 4:17
  but right now we are
• 4:20
  running everything free.
• 4:24
  So anyway, yeah,
• 4:27
  I thought that was really funny.
• 4:33
  Aaron Fraser, but we are accepting money.
• 4:35
  We are.
• 4:36
  We'll take it.
• 4:38
  And Jamie, yeah, let's see the money.
• 4:42
  I know.
• 4:42
  She's with me.
• 4:44
  The numbers we are putting
• 4:45
  up on the Sunday night show
• 4:47
  are getting so good and so
• 4:48
  much better that I'm hoping that –
• 4:51
  we can maybe make an
• 4:53
  agreement with a sponsor to
• 4:55
  our click through rates are
• 4:57
  higher than I've ever seen.
• 5:02
  And like looking at stats where they say,
• 5:05
  what's good, what's great.
• 5:06
  And we're like exceeding all of that.
• 5:09
  So it's really about the
• 5:10
  engagement from those shows
• 5:12
  that is like through the roof.
• 5:16
  So proud of that.
• 5:18
  So proud of Jamie and
• 5:19
  Carolyn and everybody for
• 5:22
  making all that work.
• 5:24
  But yeah, it is killing it.
• 5:28
  Denise Moore.
• 5:29
  Some people just need to be contrary.
• 5:32
  Well, we've,
• 5:33
  we had some fun over the last
• 5:34
  couple of days.
• 5:35
  We put up the reel with really,
• 5:38
  I asked the question,
• 5:39
  did mayhem program
• 5:40
  everything in the CrossFit
• 5:41
  game season and,
• 5:43
  Carolyn responded with a
• 5:46
  fact and then made some comments,
• 5:48
  and I cut that into a reel.
• 5:50
  I put it up on Instagram,
• 5:53
  and there are some very
• 5:54
  staunch defenders of mayhem,
• 5:59
  which we have responded to in kind.
• 6:04
  Nothing like obscene or
• 6:09
  vehement or anything like that,
• 6:11
  but somehow...
• 6:14
  the people that have
• 6:15
  responded like other camps
• 6:17
  have responded.
• 6:18
  Other camps have put their likes on it.
• 6:21
  Um, man, these allergies are killing me.
• 6:34
  So anyway, um,
• 6:39
  we got into a discussion
• 6:40
  last night with Jr.
• 6:41
  How, because one person said, well,
• 6:44
  syndicate wasn't mayhem programmed.
• 6:47
  And we made the comment that
• 6:50
  they used Angelo to test.
• 6:52
  So therefore someone at
• 6:53
  mayhem still was involved.
• 6:57
  And then Jr.
• 6:58
  Reached out to Carolyn Jr.
• 7:00
  Responded in the comments.
• 7:01
  We kind of explained how we
• 7:03
  got involved in this.
• 7:05
  Um, but it's, it's just been a crazy, um,
• 7:10
  crazy freaking week with everything.
• 7:13
  So but yeah, it's been fun.
• 7:18
  It's been fun.
• 7:21
  So again,
• 7:23
  this is just going to be a
• 7:25
  smattering of everything.
• 7:29
  So what we're going to talk
• 7:30
  about first is what are you
• 7:32
  looking forward to the most this weekend?
• 7:34
  I think Sarah put it up here
• 7:36
  that we have four
• 7:38
  Uh,
• 7:39
  who's excited for syndicate busy
• 7:40
  weekend of comps to watch.
• 7:44
  What are you looking forward
• 7:45
  to this weekend?
• 7:47
  I think there's some really
• 7:48
  good storylines.
• 7:50
  Um, if you look one, I, we found out, uh,
• 7:55
  barbell spin posted today,
• 7:57
  all four semifinals are being streamed.
• 8:00
  So you'll be able to watch
• 8:01
  any and all of them, um,
• 8:03
  on YouTube channels, um,
• 8:07
  The Syndicate Crown is on
• 8:08
  the Sevon podcast channel.
• 8:11
  Far East Throwdown is on
• 8:12
  their own YouTube channel.
• 8:14
  Torian Pro on their own YouTube channel.
• 8:17
  And Renegade Rebel Games
• 8:22
  have their own YouTube channel.
• 8:23
  So all four events will have
• 8:25
  streamed events this weekend.
• 8:28
  So if you are into watching CrossFit,
• 8:30
  you will have your choice of all of them.
• 8:35
  Uh, and I'll,
• 8:36
  I'll be tuned into as much of
• 8:37
  it as I can get.
• 8:39
  Um, uh,
• 8:40
  the storylines I think that are out
• 8:41
  there are syndicate is,
• 8:44
  are the well sisters going
• 8:45
  to punch their ticket to the games?
• 8:47
  I hate that phrase,
• 8:48
  punch your ticket to the games,
• 8:48
  but are they going to
• 8:49
  qualify for the CrossFit games?
• 8:52
  Um,
• 8:52
  Brooke and Sydney are both competing at
• 8:54
  syndicate.
• 8:55
  They have yet to get a
• 8:57
  ticket to the CrossFit
• 8:58
  games and will they qualify this weekend?
• 9:02
  Um, and my prediction is no.
• 9:08
  I think the best female
• 9:09
  athlete at the Syndicate
• 9:10
  Crown is Caroline Stanley.
• 9:12
  I think she is going to take one of them,
• 9:14
  and then it is going to be
• 9:15
  a dogfight between Lexi Neely,
• 9:17
  Shelby Neal, and the Wells sisters.
• 9:22
  So I think that's going to
• 9:24
  be a tough qualification to
• 9:27
  garner because I do think
• 9:30
  Caroline Stanley's
• 9:32
  kind of distancing herself
• 9:34
  clear and above everybody else.
• 9:36
  And if it wasn't for a weird
• 9:38
  angle camera and a penalty
• 9:40
  in the semifinal,
• 9:42
  she would be going to the games already.
• 9:48
  But there's that.
• 9:50
  In addition to that, we have...
• 9:53
  I think the men's storyline
• 9:55
  is can Seth Stovall clear
• 10:00
  the hurdle to get his first
• 10:02
  qualification to the CrossFit games?
• 10:06
  You have some veterans there.
• 10:08
  Um, like, uh, Spencer Pancheck, um,
• 10:16
  Royce Dunn.
• 10:17
  No, no.
• 10:18
  Royce is in Torian.
• 10:20
  Um,
• 10:22
  trying to get there to you
• 10:24
  have ty jenkins the rookie
• 10:26
  ish um so anyway I really
• 10:30
  think it's it's kind of a
• 10:31
  year that seth can make the
• 10:33
  jump and is he going to do
• 10:34
  that is he going to
• 10:35
  overtake luke parker people
• 10:38
  like that to get his first
• 10:39
  um qualification to the games
• 10:44
  Thoughts on athletes not
• 10:45
  eligible or already
• 10:46
  qualified mixing up in the semis.
• 10:48
  We have talked about it a
• 10:49
  lot on both this show and
• 10:52
  the Sunday night show.
• 10:53
  Do not like it.
• 10:55
  Do not like it.
• 10:56
  Either you're part of the
• 10:57
  season or you're not.
• 11:02
  Because you're taking points
• 11:03
  away at different,
• 11:04
  whether you could be just a
• 11:06
  home run hitter and it's
• 11:08
  not a good thing.
• 11:11
  And you're taking away
• 11:12
  points at different
• 11:13
  elements based on your
• 11:14
  abilities to the field.
• 11:17
  And it's making it a cluster.
• 11:19
  It's harder to explain to
• 11:20
  friends what the season looks like.
• 11:23
  And so you're either in or you're out.
• 11:25
  And that's not what's happening.
• 11:30
  So I don't like it.
• 11:32
  I don't like that Guy is
• 11:33
  going to Torian and he's
• 11:35
  going to mess up that leaderboard.
• 11:38
  I don't like that Ricky and
• 11:41
  Jay Crouch are competing.
• 11:43
  There's a good chance that
• 11:45
  the top three at Torian on
• 11:46
  both the men's and women's
• 11:47
  side don't go to the games.
• 11:50
  So then you're giving
• 11:51
  qualifying spots to four
• 11:54
  and five or five and six.
• 11:56
  And how then do you explain
• 11:57
  that to people?
• 11:59
  It's really hard.
• 12:01
  Plus,
• 12:01
  it's muddied waters and trying to
• 12:04
  figure out who's who.
• 12:08
  But my storyline at Torian is,
• 12:10
  is Tia going to retire?
• 12:13
  Will we get a definitive
• 12:16
  answer from her this
• 12:18
  weekend when it's all over?
• 12:24
  Yeah.
• 12:27
  Eric says, agree,
• 12:28
  CrossFit is a sport I love,
• 12:29
  but I hate all the mess.
• 12:31
  I hate the fact that we
• 12:32
  cannot explain the season easily.
• 12:37
  I hate it.
• 12:38
  I hate it.
• 12:38
  I hate it.
• 12:45
  Dense updates.
• 12:46
  Yeah, not a fan of that either.
• 12:56
  so um aaron says no she's
• 12:59
  not retiring she's she's
• 13:01
  trolling I I am leaning in
• 13:03
  that direction I do believe
• 13:04
  that that is what she's
• 13:05
  going to do she's going to
• 13:06
  win she's going to accept
• 13:08
  her qualification um but
• 13:12
  I'm hope I hope we get a
• 13:13
  definitive answer at the end of this
• 13:23
  Um, Aaron Frazier,
• 13:23
  it's another easy win for
• 13:25
  Tia at the games.
• 13:27
  At some point, it's not going to be easy.
• 13:29
  Yes.
• 13:29
  She's been dominant for seven years,
• 13:32
  but that's a long time.
• 13:34
  It's a long time.
• 13:35
  That's a lot of abuse on the body.
• 13:37
  And at some point it's got
• 13:39
  to catch up with her.
• 13:41
  Now it may not be this year,
• 13:43
  but who knows?
• 13:49
  Sarah Cooper says if she gets her ticket,
• 13:50
  she should go to the games.
• 13:52
  Free money.
• 13:57
  Amen, Meredith.
• 13:58
  I just don't see why we need her to troll.
• 14:01
  What benefit is there for her?
• 14:04
  You're the greatest CrossFit
• 14:05
  athlete we have ever seen.
• 14:08
  Why you're playing these
• 14:09
  games makes no sense to me.
• 14:11
  But it happens all the time.
• 14:13
  I mean,
• 14:13
  there was a time in the nineties
• 14:15
  where every boxer retired
• 14:16
  after every match and then
• 14:18
  they came back five more times.
• 14:20
  Brett Favre retired over and
• 14:22
  over and over again.
• 14:23
  Michael Jordan retired and
• 14:24
  came back twice.
• 14:27
  And they're greats in the sport.
• 14:28
  I don't know why they do it.
• 14:29
  It makes no sense.
• 14:35
  I hate it.
• 14:37
  And then the Rebel Renegade Games,
• 14:38
  we have Sarah Sigmundsdottir competing.
• 14:41
  I think that is the storyline.
• 14:43
  This is her best last shot
• 14:46
  at making the CrossFit
• 14:47
  Games one last time.
• 14:50
  And I would say she's the favorite there,
• 14:56
  but I haven't seen her
• 14:57
  compete in a while.
• 15:00
  And so I think that's a
• 15:02
  pretty big storyline.
• 15:05
  Will she...
• 15:07
  will she qualify for the
• 15:08
  CrossFit Games one last time?
• 15:12
  And I hope so.
• 15:13
  I love Sarah Sigmundsdottir.
• 15:15
  I want to see her back at
• 15:15
  the Games one last time.
• 15:20
  I hope if she makes it that
• 15:21
  she's able to train and
• 15:23
  give a good effort,
• 15:25
  and we don't see like a
• 15:27
  super diminished athlete at the Games,
• 15:29
  but I think...
• 15:34
  think this is it I think
• 15:35
  it's either this year or
• 15:36
  she's never going back
• 15:38
  again uh she'll qualify she
• 15:47
  loves the attention but
• 15:48
  will a fifth place at the
• 15:49
  games tarnish her legacy in
• 15:51
  her opinion I think if she
• 15:53
  goes to the games it's not
• 15:54
  fifth she'll still podium
• 15:57
  and she'll probably win but
• 15:59
  I'm just saying at some
• 16:00
  point in her career it's
• 16:01
  going to catch up
• 16:04
  I hope she makes it back,
• 16:06
  but it's always something
• 16:07
  with Sarah recently.
• 16:08
  I agree.
• 16:16
  Denise Moore,
• 16:17
  they want attention and
• 16:18
  understanding when they retire for real.
• 16:20
  They will no longer get the
• 16:21
  attention they crave.
• 16:28
  so those are the storylines this week.
• 16:30
  Again, we can watch all of them.
• 16:32
  They're all streaming on YouTube.
• 16:35
  Again,
• 16:35
  syndicate crown will be on the seven
• 16:37
  podcast, YouTube channel.
• 16:40
  Um,
• 16:40
  and all the others will be on their
• 16:42
  event channels.
• 16:44
  Um,
• 16:44
  so you can tune into all of those this
• 16:47
  weekend and see all the storylines.
• 16:49
  I didn't forget about the far East.
• 16:51
  I just don't know enough about it.
• 16:53
  And the competitors there to really know,
• 16:56
  um,
• 16:58
  The only storyline I could
• 16:59
  even think of for them is
• 17:01
  they did open it up to the world.
• 17:03
  It is not a regional-based
• 17:04
  competition at the Far East.
• 17:06
  So you have some semifinal
• 17:08
  athletes from other regions
• 17:10
  there trying to compete.
• 17:12
  And I think the storyline is
• 17:14
  who qualifies?
• 17:16
  A native to Asia or someone
• 17:19
  who has come in from one of
• 17:20
  the other regions to try to get a ticket?
• 17:30
  Sarah Cooper says Dwan Young.
• 17:33
  I think Sahir Kaya probably
• 17:35
  gets the women's spot even
• 17:38
  with the competition from
• 17:39
  around the world.
• 17:40
  But on the men's side, I have no idea.
• 17:44
  And if you remember like for
• 17:45
  the top five finishers last year in Asia,
• 17:49
  all tested positive.
• 17:50
  So they're all gone.
• 17:59
  uh sung young choy will
• 18:01
  probably win but has
• 18:02
  already qualified correct
• 18:04
  and so you thought sahir
• 18:08
  was out I don't think so I
• 18:13
  don't uh I don't know did
• 18:15
  she do the open we can look real quick
• 18:33
  Barbell spin gets us the answer.
• 18:35
  Sahir was barely inside the
• 18:36
  top one percent.
• 18:38
  So she is in and she is so she's good.
• 18:47
  So
• 18:48
  That's what we got going on this weekend.
• 18:51
  Again,
• 18:51
  and if you need links to all those
• 18:53
  barbell spins in the chat,
• 18:54
  he's also the one that put
• 18:55
  out the information this
• 18:57
  morning of where you can go
• 19:00
  to see all of the events.
• 19:02
  And he has all the links to
• 19:04
  the leaderboards and to the
• 19:06
  events on his YouTube channel,
• 19:09
  to their YouTube channels
• 19:12
  on the barbell spin.
• 19:14
  So you can go to the
• 19:14
  barbellspin.com and get all
• 19:16
  of that information.
• 19:22
  So there's that.
• 19:28
  I just got done watching
• 19:30
  coaching Anika from the TTT people,
• 19:34
  Corpus Animus.
• 19:38
  It's really an interesting
• 19:39
  look into the relationship
• 19:41
  between a coach and an athlete and why...
• 19:51
  max took her on what it's
• 19:53
  been like um with her and
• 19:56
  the close qualifications
• 19:58
  and to finally get to
• 20:00
  qualify this year to the
• 20:01
  crossfit games uh how tough
• 20:03
  that's been and it really um
• 20:09
  Um, it's really going to be,
• 20:11
  it's a really interesting
• 20:11
  look in that Max himself
• 20:14
  has been a victim of his
• 20:15
  own negative self-talk.
• 20:18
  According to this interview, um,
• 20:20
  he would beat himself up all the time.
• 20:23
  Uh, when he was competing,
• 20:25
  either when it was in mixed
• 20:27
  martial arts or, uh,
• 20:29
  even doing CrossFit stuff.
• 20:32
  and because of all of the
• 20:34
  near misses of annika she
• 20:37
  had a lot of negative
• 20:38
  self-talk and they've had
• 20:39
  to really work on that
• 20:41
  together over time and he
• 20:43
  attributed a lot of getting
• 20:45
  out of that to noah uh and
• 20:48
  and his positivity but they
• 20:51
  talk about her running
• 20:52
  ability they talk about
• 20:54
  what they've been trying to
• 20:55
  do to overcome their running ability
• 20:57
  How much time do you spend
• 20:59
  on it if you're only going
• 21:00
  to make minimal net gains over time?
• 21:06
  And so all of that is really
• 21:08
  cool if you're into like
• 21:10
  how a coach is thinking
• 21:12
  about working on things.
• 21:14
  How much of a percentage of
• 21:15
  time do you spend on it?
• 21:17
  Is it worth it on the
• 21:18
  leaderboard in the end to
• 21:20
  spend more time on it?
• 21:22
  I know Carolyn has told us
• 21:24
  over and over again that
• 21:26
  she's not a great swimmer
• 21:27
  and she could up her swimming training.
• 21:31
  But at the end of the day,
• 21:33
  if she ups her swimming training,
• 21:34
  she may move from thirty
• 21:35
  fifth to thirty third.
• 21:37
  And is that worth the effort
• 21:40
  and time she puts into that
• 21:42
  as opposed to other
• 21:43
  elements where she could
• 21:45
  get better by four or five spots?
• 21:48
  That's not necessarily as bad a weakness.
• 21:55
  So.
• 21:56
  I know Carolyn feels very
• 21:58
  strongly about that,
• 21:59
  and it was interesting to
• 22:01
  hear Max talk about it very similarly.
• 22:08
  Because he was saying her running ability,
• 22:11
  it's going to take three
• 22:14
  years minimal to build up
• 22:19
  to a level where she can
• 22:21
  actually do those types of things.
• 22:24
  So...
• 22:32
  But it's really interesting.
• 22:33
  The other thing,
• 22:35
  he talked about the combined seasons,
• 22:37
  the WFP and the CrossFit Games season,
• 22:39
  and does Annika have a priority?
• 22:43
  And he was talking about,
• 22:44
  because she is only twenty-two years old,
• 22:47
  that she actually has the
• 22:48
  volume capacity and the
• 22:51
  tolerance to be able to do both.
• 22:55
  Where...
• 22:57
  where older athletes like
• 22:59
  Noah and Travis may not
• 23:01
  have that ability to do
• 23:03
  both because they cannot
• 23:05
  handle the volume and
• 23:07
  tolerate it like she can.
• 23:18
  Lito says she's already had
• 23:19
  three years and not improved, though.
• 23:23
  If you listen to this podcast,
• 23:24
  she has improved,
• 23:26
  but it's more of a mental
• 23:27
  thing than a physical thing.
• 23:40
  Aaron says,
• 23:41
  I think it depends on what your
• 23:42
  goals are.
• 23:42
  If you want to win the games,
• 23:43
  you cannot have a hole.
• 23:48
  Laura Horvat won the games
• 23:50
  and had a very big hole.
• 23:52
  She got lucky.
• 23:59
  Doug Reed says,
• 24:00
  Noah's fake positive would be grading.
• 24:03
  You know, I used to not like Noah at all.
• 24:07
  And I still waver a little bit.
• 24:08
  And I actually told this to
• 24:09
  him and to his face.
• 24:11
  But then I got to talk to
• 24:13
  him a little bit more.
• 24:13
  And I actually like the guy.
• 24:15
  It's really hard once you
• 24:17
  start talking to him in
• 24:18
  person to not like him.
• 24:22
  And I was not a fan ever a fan of Noah.
• 24:26
  Um,
• 24:26
  and then I got to know him and it
• 24:28
  really changed my mind.
• 24:39
  Um,
• 24:42
  trained to live.
• 24:43
  It's hard to say she hasn't
• 24:44
  improved when other
• 24:44
  athletes are probably improving too.
• 24:47
  So it can be the illusion.
• 24:48
  She's not improving again.
• 24:50
  Like if you,
• 24:51
  you have to watch the whole podcast,
• 24:53
  but like the problem she's
• 24:55
  having with running now is
• 24:56
  she gets down on herself
• 24:58
  during the run and she
• 24:59
  gives in rather than pushes through.
• 25:02
  And they're trying to teach her to, Hey,
• 25:05
  can you pick people off
• 25:07
  ahead of you or not?
• 25:12
  do you just give up and rest
• 25:15
  or do whatever?
• 25:16
  So it, it's, it's hard to,
• 25:22
  for me to then explain what
• 25:24
  Max was saying, but it's, it's really,
• 25:27
  it's about keeping her head up during,
• 25:28
  even when things aren't
• 25:29
  going great during a run.
• 25:31
  It's like she has anxiety
• 25:33
  when she starts running
• 25:34
  because she knows it's her weakness.
• 25:36
  And then she lets things get
• 25:37
  to her when they're trying
• 25:39
  to overcome all of that stuff.
• 25:42
  so that she can at least
• 25:45
  build up a few points by
• 25:47
  picking some people off in the run.
• 25:49
  I don't know.
• 25:52
  It's hard.
• 25:57
  Running is tested way more
• 25:58
  than swimming ever is
• 25:59
  definitely a low priority.
• 26:03
  Yeah, I would agree with that.
• 26:07
  But her running issue is
• 26:08
  more on the endurance running side.
• 26:13
  She's okay at the sprints.
• 26:20
  That's it.
• 26:21
  You cannot feel sorry for
• 26:22
  yourself in the middle of a workout.
• 26:24
  And I think that's what the problem is.
• 26:32
  They also mentioned that
• 26:33
  depends on the comp.
• 26:34
  Is it worth the push for
• 26:35
  spots or do you just finish
• 26:37
  and move on to the next event?
• 26:39
  They do.
• 26:42
  So really they're in a place
• 26:43
  right now where they're
• 26:43
  just trying to manage the running.
• 26:46
  But he also said with the
• 26:47
  way the season is structured,
• 26:49
  there's not a lot of time
• 26:51
  to take a couple months to
• 26:55
  build a running base either.
• 27:06
  I'm with D. Reid on this.
• 27:07
  I feel sorry for myself
• 27:09
  during the Open when I
• 27:10
  realize how crappy I'm doing.
• 27:12
  Yeah.
• 27:14
  But I'm not one of the top
• 27:16
  thirty fitnessers in the world.
• 27:19
  She is.
• 27:24
  So, there's that.
• 27:34
  I see some comments about
• 27:36
  going to syndicate, keeping it real.
• 27:39
  I'm actually not coming this weekend.
• 27:43
  My wife is just not
• 27:44
  recovered enough for me to
• 27:47
  be able to head down.
• 27:50
  So, I made up, Aaron Frazier,
• 27:58
  I made up the word.
• 28:04
  Yeah, I'm not able to get down.
• 28:05
  My wife,
• 28:07
  because this knee was her right leg,
• 28:09
  she cannot drive and she
• 28:11
  has to get to PT and things like that.
• 28:14
  And I have nobody to stay
• 28:15
  with her over the weekend.
• 28:19
  She cannot pivot on her
• 28:21
  ankle to be able to hit the
• 28:23
  gas and the brake.
• 28:26
  She has great flexion, like straight ahead,
• 28:30
  but she cannot flip her
• 28:32
  ankle side to side.
• 28:35
  She does not have that back yet.
• 28:37
  And so she cannot drive.
• 28:39
  And she was going to come with me,
• 28:41
  but it's too long to not
• 28:42
  have her leg elevated at
• 28:44
  this stage of her recovery.
• 28:47
  So it's a season of life I'm in,
• 28:49
  and I knew that coming into
• 28:52
  this year that I would not
• 28:53
  be able to get to as many events.
• 28:59
  So, yeah,
• 29:01
  I just knew it was going to be a
• 29:04
  possibility this year.
• 29:05
  So I'm going to try to pick
• 29:06
  up some things in the fall.
• 29:09
  I will definitely be at both
• 29:11
  the games and the age group games.
• 29:14
  I'll be at Masters Fitness Collective.
• 29:18
  And then we'll see about the
• 29:20
  rest of the fall.
• 29:23
  But yeah.
• 29:27
  And Meredith says, can she come with you?
• 29:30
  Too much exertion if she did that.
• 29:31
  The plan was to get a really
• 29:33
  nice hotel with a really
• 29:34
  nice pool and she could
• 29:35
  just kind of chill.
• 29:36
  But it's the six-hour drive
• 29:39
  without being able to
• 29:40
  elevate her knee that would
• 29:41
  be the bad part of that.
• 29:45
  And the doctor recommended no.
• 29:52
  So there's that, man, this is flying by.
• 29:55
  I didn't have anything.
• 29:57
  I was, uh,
• 30:01
  trying to make sure I had enough content.
• 30:03
  I watched the behind the scenes of TFX.
• 30:06
  If you haven't seen that,
• 30:06
  that was that was fun.
• 30:08
  The highlight for me was
• 30:12
  Adrian Conway and Bryson
• 30:15
  having a discussion about
• 30:16
  the lunge being a squat.
• 30:18
  I thought that was really interesting.
• 30:21
  And
• 30:23
  And they get into,
• 30:25
  is it okay during a season
• 30:28
  to not test an element like
• 30:29
  the squat at one event and
• 30:32
  just kind of say,
• 30:35
  we're not going to do it this time,
• 30:36
  but you're still going to have to win.
• 30:40
  And Adrian was like, I kind of like that,
• 30:43
  except that I do think if
• 30:45
  it was the games,
• 30:46
  it had to be there and it
• 30:48
  has to be there during
• 30:49
  other elements or other
• 30:51
  stages of the season.
• 30:59
  But that back and forth was really good.
• 31:02
  There's also a back and
• 31:04
  forth between Tudor's old
• 31:07
  coach and Taylor,
• 31:10
  where Tudor's old coach
• 31:11
  wants to know if they need
• 31:12
  to settle things out in the parking lot.
• 31:14
  Apparently,
• 31:16
  I don't know if he was joking or not,
• 31:17
  but it was a really
• 31:19
  interesting back and forth for sure.
• 31:32
  So that was intense for sure.
• 32:04
  Uh,
• 32:04
  Tudor's old coach was an ass in a video
• 32:06
  completely on brand.
• 32:18
  Uh, Jody,
• 32:18
  I'm listening to what's that
• 32:20
  about a fight in the parking lot, uh,
• 32:22
  on the behind the scenes of TFX, um,
• 32:26
  Tudor Magda Magda's ex coach.
• 32:30
  I can't remember his name or
• 32:31
  I would say it.
• 32:32
  Um,
• 32:34
  approached taylor and
• 32:35
  apparently taylor said some
• 32:36
  things about him and he
• 32:38
  wanted to know if they
• 32:39
  wanted to settle it um and
• 32:43
  taylor's asking him how do
• 32:44
  you want to settle it and
• 32:46
  it's it's a very
• 32:47
  uncomfortable conversation
• 32:49
  if it was real or not I
• 32:51
  don't know um but they put
• 32:54
  it in ed thank you thank you jenny uh ed
• 33:02
  But it is a very, very tense conversation.
• 33:08
  And I don't know if there
• 33:09
  was anything after that.
• 33:11
  Maybe we'll find out if
• 33:11
  there's another episode to this.
• 33:23
  The rest of the stuff I have
• 33:24
  is just like...
• 33:26
  goofy stuff.
• 33:27
  My wife and I watched
• 33:28
  America's Got Talent last
• 33:29
  night and I learned that
• 33:31
  America is out of talent.
• 33:36
  There was not one act on
• 33:37
  that show that I would go
• 33:41
  see for free at the local
• 33:43
  high school auditorium.
• 33:47
  There was one singer that
• 33:48
  was pretty good and other
• 33:50
  than that it was a complete
• 33:54
  waste of time.
• 33:58
  Maybe all these stupid
• 33:59
  talent shows and singing shows,
• 34:02
  we have run out of all of
• 34:03
  the talent in America.
• 34:14
  Train to Live,
• 34:16
  I watched Nona's Because of You So Good,
• 34:19
  Cried Like a Baby.
• 34:20
  It's a really good movie.
• 34:21
  It's just a good feel-good family movie.
• 34:25
  Really, really enjoyed it.
• 34:30
  Did you see Be Friendly
• 34:31
  almost lose it yesterday to Pool Boy?
• 34:34
  I did.
• 34:35
  I saw the clip.
• 34:36
  I have not seen the full episode.
• 34:40
  And I think it was in
• 34:41
  reference to Pool Boy
• 34:42
  saying that Savan was going
• 34:44
  to charge like a dollar
• 34:45
  ninety nine or something to
• 34:46
  see the syndicate thing.
• 34:49
  Yeah.
• 34:53
  Here's the deal, man.
• 34:55
  A lot of people do a lot of
• 34:56
  work around this space to
• 34:59
  entertain us for essentially free.
• 35:04
  I pay to go see movies,
• 35:06
  and I pay a lot of money to
• 35:07
  go see the movies.
• 35:11
  I pay for a lot of entertainment.
• 35:13
  And in the CrossFit space,
• 35:14
  you don't have to pay for much.
• 35:15
  It's just kind of given to you.
• 35:19
  If when Siobhan puts out behind the scenes,
• 35:23
  that is entertaining to me.
• 35:24
  That is worth my budget to
• 35:26
  pay for a membership so
• 35:28
  that I can see the behind
• 35:29
  the scenes when it comes out.
• 35:34
  And I look at it as just
• 35:35
  part of my entertainment budget.
• 35:40
  If Savan and his team are
• 35:42
  going down to broadcast an
• 35:45
  event and I want to see
• 35:47
  that event and they need me
• 35:49
  to pay two dollars or three
• 35:52
  dollars to see the event or
• 35:53
  twenty dollars to see the event.
• 35:56
  Are you kidding me?
• 35:58
  That is the cheapest
• 35:59
  entertainment I could
• 36:00
  possibly get to watch the
• 36:02
  sport I love to watch.
• 36:06
  I pay the twenty five
• 36:07
  dollars to Rogue every year
• 36:09
  to get their alternate
• 36:10
  broadcast because I really,
• 36:12
  really enjoy it.
• 36:13
  And it's worth it in my
• 36:15
  entertainment budget.
• 36:20
  Why do we think that
• 36:20
  everything should be free
• 36:22
  just because it was given
• 36:23
  to us for so long?
• 36:25
  We're getting to a point
• 36:26
  where everybody's budgets
• 36:28
  are getting cut and maybe
• 36:29
  they need a little bit of
• 36:30
  help to be able to get
• 36:33
  somebody in there to do the job,
• 36:35
  to show us what we want to see.
• 36:39
  And if Savant charged me a
• 36:41
  dollar ninety nine,
• 36:42
  I'd pay it gladly to see
• 36:43
  the syndicate crown.
• 36:45
  I want to be there in person
• 36:46
  so badly and I can't be this year.
• 36:49
  And if I can't be there in person,
• 36:51
  I want to see it and I'm
• 36:52
  going to pay a dollar
• 36:53
  ninety nine to see it.
• 36:59
  It just it doesn't make
• 37:01
  sense to me that everybody
• 37:03
  gets up in arms about this kind of thing.
• 37:06
  You you pay to go to the movies,
• 37:08
  you pay to go to a ball game,
• 37:10
  you pay to go to a football game.
• 37:16
  What is two dollars?
• 37:19
  Two dollars.
• 37:20
  Two dollars to see a
• 37:22
  stinking CrossFit event.
• 37:29
  All those people are there
• 37:31
  on their own dime.
• 37:34
  volunteering their time to
• 37:36
  broadcast all of that stuff
• 37:38
  and they'd never ever
• 37:39
  charge and then they say
• 37:41
  hey let's make a little bit
• 37:42
  of money back to recoup
• 37:43
  some of the money we're
• 37:44
  putting into it and
• 37:45
  everybody's up in arms um
• 38:01
  Preach, Scott, preach.
• 38:03
  Dents,
• 38:03
  I paid dollar ninety nine for the
• 38:04
  live stream and I'm going to be there.
• 38:09
  Rogue can charge, but Savant can't.
• 38:14
  Not unreasonable at all.
• 38:16
  Well said, Scott.
• 38:17
  Happily pay.
• 38:19
  I don't understand why he was so enraged.
• 38:27
  So you want to professionalize the sport,
• 38:29
  but so many won't pony up a
• 38:31
  few bucks to help make it happen.
• 38:39
  Mayhem's coverage was all
• 38:40
  over a hundred K. If we
• 38:41
  need to pay to get that type of coverage,
• 38:43
  I'm in.
• 38:48
  People who do these things
• 38:50
  need to cover their costs.
• 38:51
  They can't do it for free all the time.
• 38:58
  Where was Brian enraged?
• 38:59
  I need to see the Brian tears.
• 39:03
  I believe they did.
• 39:04
  There was during a preview
• 39:06
  of all of the events this weekend.
• 39:08
  They did yesterday.
• 39:10
  Again,
• 39:10
  I have not watched the full episode.
• 39:12
  I have only watched.
• 39:14
  I saw a clip somewhere.
• 39:20
  We pay so we don't have Waza coverage.
• 39:27
  Lito says,
• 39:28
  I think most people would happily pay,
• 39:30
  to be honest.
• 39:34
  Lito, I'll be honest with you.
• 39:35
  There are a group, apparently,
• 39:37
  in this chat right now that
• 39:38
  would be willing to pay to
• 39:40
  watch any of these events.
• 39:43
  But I am telling you,
• 39:44
  there's going to be a group
• 39:46
  that are going to be pissed
• 39:47
  off that they have to pay
• 39:49
  anything to watch these events.
• 39:52
  It used to be that
• 39:53
  Wadapalooza was through a paywall.
• 39:56
  Now, it was not cheap.
• 39:58
  It was not even rogue,
• 40:00
  twenty five dollar cheap.
• 40:03
  And they they were getting
• 40:05
  hammered year after year
• 40:06
  after year for that.
• 40:09
  The problem is CrossFit has
• 40:10
  done it for free at a
• 40:12
  pretty high quality.
• 40:14
  Back in the regional days,
• 40:16
  all of that stuff was free,
• 40:18
  and people got spoiled.
• 40:23
  And now that times are tough,
• 40:25
  and the belts are getting
• 40:27
  cinched around the CrossFit space,
• 40:29
  and people don't have it in
• 40:31
  their budgets to pay for
• 40:32
  that production anymore,
• 40:33
  and they want to do a little bit about...
• 40:36
  And they want to ask for a
• 40:38
  little bit of money to help
• 40:39
  offset the cost of this.
• 40:41
  I think it's fair for them to do so.
• 40:46
  That's all.
• 40:52
  Aaron says, yes.
• 40:53
  Ranking show for the events this weekend.
• 40:58
  It's around the one,
• 40:59
  twelve forty five mark on
• 41:01
  Brian's last show.
• 41:06
  And Denise says it's not
• 41:07
  really that hard to pay through YouTube.
• 41:09
  It's not.
• 41:24
  Well, I had a bunch of goofy stuff.
• 41:25
  I'm not going to dive into all of that.
• 41:34
  I'll maybe save that for tomorrow.
• 41:38
  in case nothing happens
• 41:39
  overnight in the CrossFit space.
• 41:42
  But I do have a one-thirty meeting,
• 41:46
  so I need to go prep for that.
• 41:51
  Sponsors should start
• 41:52
  ponying up to live stream
• 41:53
  coverage and pay the athletes less.
• 42:01
  The live coverage is where the views are.
• 42:04
  I do not disagree with you.
• 42:10
  Jody says, yes, goofy stuff, please.
• 42:15
  All right,
• 42:15
  I'll finish up with one goofy thing.
• 42:24
  I was thumbing through YouTube.
• 42:31
  My apologies.
• 42:35
  It is.
• 42:36
  I got to get through allergy season.
• 42:42
  I was thumbing through
• 42:42
  YouTube today and I just
• 42:44
  found this interesting.
• 42:49
  I love Prince.
• 42:51
  He is one of my favorite
• 42:52
  musicians of all time.
• 42:55
  And apparently there were
• 42:57
  six bands or artists that he hated.
• 43:03
  And they list who those are.
• 43:12
  So I'm going to tell you who
• 43:12
  they are just because it's
• 43:15
  cool when like musicians are petty.
• 43:18
  And I found it interesting
• 43:22
  because some of these
• 43:23
  people I do not like at all.
• 43:25
  And some of these people I
• 43:26
  love and I love Prince.
• 43:28
  So I wanted to see who they were.
• 43:35
  Prince hated Michael Bolton.
• 43:38
  I think that's easy to see.
• 43:40
  Um, his,
• 43:41
  his thought was that Michael
• 43:43
  Bolton took all the emotion
• 43:44
  out of every song and he
• 43:47
  just made it very sterile and, um,
• 43:50
  simple.
• 43:56
  Prince hated Madonna.
• 43:58
  Um,
• 43:59
  Madonna and him were on the same label.
• 44:01
  The label tried to get them to do a duet.
• 44:04
  Prince refused to work with her.
• 44:06
  Thought she was very, she was talentless.
• 44:12
  He also hated Justin
• 44:12
  Timberlake because he
• 44:14
  thought that Justin
• 44:15
  Timberlake stole his sound,
• 44:18
  used his sound, was inspired by his sound,
• 44:21
  and never gave Prince
• 44:22
  credit for any of it.
• 44:28
  He also hated Maroon Five.
• 44:30
  He hated Maroon Five because
• 44:31
  they remade Kiss and they trashed it.
• 44:36
  He said Kiss was a simple
• 44:37
  song and it was meant to be
• 44:39
  simple and sometimes the
• 44:40
  spaces are more important
• 44:42
  than the sound and they
• 44:44
  filled all the spaces.
• 44:49
  The next one was Black Eyed Peas.
• 44:52
  He didn't like them.
• 44:53
  He thought they were
• 44:53
  talentless and couldn't
• 44:55
  understand why anybody
• 44:56
  would listen to them.
• 44:58
  And finally he hated Eric Clapton.
• 45:03
  He felt that Eric Clapton
• 45:05
  was a good technical guitar player,
• 45:07
  but nobody ever wanted to
• 45:09
  go dance to an Eric Clapton guitar riff.
• 45:15
  So those are the six artists
• 45:17
  that Prince hated.
• 45:22
  Take with it what you will.
• 45:24
  I just found it interesting,
• 45:25
  something different,
• 45:27
  and something to think
• 45:28
  about during the day.
• 45:30
  But I love petty musicians,
• 45:32
  and I love Prince.
• 45:34
  So with that, TIL,
• 45:43
  Prince had outstanding
• 45:44
  musical sensibilities.
• 45:48
  Petty.
• 45:50
  The best artists are petty.
• 45:54
  Yeah, so his hated artists, again,
• 45:55
  were Michael Bolton, Madonna,
• 45:57
  Justin Timberlake, Maroon Five,
• 45:59
  Black Eyed Peas, and Eric Clapton.
• 46:02
  All pretty big names in the
• 46:04
  music business.
• 46:06
  And he hated them all.
• 46:13
  Actually, in the same channel, there was,
• 46:16
  speaking of Petty,
• 46:17
  Tom Petty's most hated guitar players.
• 46:20
  But I didn't watch that one yet.
• 46:22
  So with that, guys,
• 46:24
  I got to get back to work.
• 46:25
  I got a meeting coming up
• 46:26
  and I got to get into dress
• 46:27
  clothes for that.
• 46:29
  So with that,
• 46:30
  I will see everybody next
• 46:32
  time and you knuckleheads
• 46:33
  get back to work and we'll
• 46:35
  see you tomorrow on lunch
• 46:37
  with the Clydesdale.
• 46:39
  Bye, guys.
