• 1:59
  but it's been a rough morning.
• 2:01
  Uh, I'll get, I'll get,
• 2:02

• 2:37
  Excited to see everybody.
• 2:38
  You guys are killing it.
• 2:40
  Man, Holly.
• 2:41
  Holly's killing it this week
• 2:42
  with some stats.
• 2:45
  We have some stuff for you
• 2:46
  for Sunday night.
• 2:48
  She has kind of figured out, I think...
• 2:53
  the payouts for the masters
• 2:54
  crossfit games um based on
• 2:57
  like percentages and um
• 3:00
  numbers of people
• 3:00
  registered for the open and
• 3:03
  if they keep the same
• 3:04
  format as last year what
• 3:05
  that'll be um so we'll try
• 3:08
  to do that on sunday night
• 3:09
  and show you all of that
• 3:11
  stuff jenny thank you so
• 3:13
  much we got another new
• 3:14
  member dense updates yeah
• 3:16
  that font I picked today is
• 3:18
  dreadful I said it first I said it first
• 3:23
  Um, a nerd alert.
• 3:24
  Yes.
• 3:24
  Holly is,
• 3:26
  she is the best stats and
• 3:28
  information person in the business.
• 3:30
  Um, she works for us behind the shadows,
• 3:32
  but she is way, way valuable.
• 3:35
  Um,
• 3:35
  she puts together numbers for us all
• 3:37
  the time.
• 3:38
  And, uh, I,
• 3:40
  I don't know how we would do it
• 3:41
  without her.
• 3:47
  Uh,
• 3:48
  Aaron, that would be a novel concept.
• 3:51
  Why don't the Masters just release that?
• 3:52
  That would be nice.
• 3:54
  That would be nice.
• 3:55
  If they actually knew before
• 3:57
  registering what they could
• 3:58
  and could not win,
• 3:59
  it would be kind of nice.
• 4:06
  Barclay triggered.
• 4:07
  Yeah, well...
• 4:09
  He doesn't do it for me.
• 4:11
  She does it for me.
• 4:12
  She does it for Jamie and Carolyn.
• 4:15
  And she's really good for all that.
• 4:17
  So I am partial to her.
• 4:25
  Is there a schedule for Masters and Teens?
• 4:27
  I'm trying to figure out
• 4:27
  what days to get tickets for.
• 4:30
  I know that it's Thursday through Sunday,
• 4:33
  but I don't know how many
• 4:35
  events each day.
• 4:37
  I'm supposed to be getting
• 4:38
  some information on that
• 4:39
  because I did get approval
• 4:40
  to do a behind-the-scenes
• 4:41
  of the Masters games again this year.
• 4:45
  They're supposed to be
• 4:45
  sending me floor layouts and a schedule,
• 4:49
  so I should know more in the coming days.
• 4:57
  Ken Walters looking forward
• 4:59
  to Sunday night and
• 5:00
  Carolyn's response to
• 5:01
  getting an F from Batman.
• 5:02
  I think it's justified.
• 5:03
  I think she'll agree with it.
• 5:05
  Honestly,
• 5:07
  she has said on the show several
• 5:08
  times that she is a school
• 5:12
  teacher and she does not
• 5:13
  want to show mid drifts and
• 5:15
  booty short stuff.
• 5:17
  And because she goes in
• 5:19
  front of several kids every
• 5:21
  day and she she
• 5:24
  purpose of purposefully
• 5:26
  wears clothes that don't
• 5:28
  show off things so I think
• 5:31
  she'll be fine with it um
• 5:39
  it's just the podium
• 5:40
  winners that get prize
• 5:41
  money in the masters isn't
• 5:42
  it that is correct that's
• 5:43
  the way it's been lito I'm I yeah
• 5:52
  um wow there's a lot going
• 5:54
  in thank you so much jenny
• 6:02
  uh let's all support the
• 6:03
  media we all consistently
• 6:04
  watch uh two nine nine a
• 6:06
  month is one fit eight it's
• 6:07
  less than a roll of thumb tape
• 6:09
  Thank you.
• 6:11
  I say the same.
• 6:11
  That's why I have joined other channels,
• 6:13
  because I would pay to go to a movie.
• 6:17
  I would pay to rent a movie.
• 6:19
  Why shouldn't I pay to watch
• 6:21
  the content I see every single day?
• 6:27
  Beard is coming back.
• 6:28
  You know what that means.
• 6:30
  I don't know.
• 6:30
  Cranky Scott's been around
• 6:32
  both beard and beardless, so we'll see.
• 6:38
  As you guys know,
• 6:39
  I'm great friends with Hattie Canio.
• 6:41
  We're going to do some
• 6:42
  behind the scenes at the
• 6:43
  CrossFit Games with her.
• 6:45
  I did get denied enhanced access.
• 6:48
  So it's going to be more
• 6:50
  like away from the arena
• 6:51
  behind the scenes than
• 6:53
  necessarily at the scenes at the games.
• 6:57
  But I did see this.
• 7:00
  Um, on the CrossFit game site today,
• 7:02
  I wanted to share that real quick.
• 7:05
  And that is that, um,
• 7:06
  they did a feature on her
• 7:07
  on the CrossFit.com page.
• 7:10
  If you go to media,
• 7:11
  there's a feature on Hattie Cano.
• 7:13
  What a bad-ass pick fire
• 7:16
  behind her in her whole
• 7:17
  fire outfit from when she
• 7:19
  was a firefighter.
• 7:20
  Um,
• 7:23
  and uh really cool article
• 7:25
  about the struggle she went
• 7:26
  through uh to get a back up
• 7:28
  to where she is today as a
• 7:30
  as a phenomenal athlete um
• 7:33
  so go check that out on the
• 7:34
  crossfit.com I honestly
• 7:36
  didn't know crossfit was
• 7:37
  still doing articles um I
• 7:40
  haven't seen much promoted
• 7:42
  and so I actually went to their site
• 7:45
  And appears they are
• 7:47
  actually doing articles still,
• 7:49
  which is blowing my mind.
• 7:53
  Um,
• 7:55
  As you can see here,
• 7:56
  there's the Hattie Cano article.
• 7:58
  There's Slow Fix,
• 8:01
  the isometric holds and
• 8:02
  super slow reps heal stubborn joint pain.
• 8:05
  Road to the Games, they advertise that.
• 8:07
  The Course Photos, of course.
• 8:10
  But yeah,
• 8:10
  they actually are still writing
• 8:12
  articles for CrossFit.com,
• 8:14
  which I had no clue.
• 8:17
  No clue.
• 8:21
  But yeah, surprised.
• 8:23
  Surprised.
• 8:27
  Shanna, super sticker, dollar ninety-nine.
• 8:30
  Thank you so much for supporting the show.
• 8:32
  You're the best.
• 8:33
  I really, really appreciate that.
• 8:40
  People talking about FitAid.
• 8:41
  I used to be so addicted to FitAid.
• 8:44
  When I was a volunteer,
• 8:46
  it was unlimited for the volunteers.
• 8:48
  Just coolers everywhere of it.
• 8:50
  I probably drank more cans
• 8:52
  than I should have in a day.
• 8:56
  And, uh, really love,
• 8:57
  I love the original and I
• 8:59
  love the first black can
• 9:01
  with the gold writing.
• 9:03
  It's kind of like a purpley grape taste.
• 9:06
  Um, uh,
• 9:11
  understand their articles would get
• 9:12
  more reads if they put them
• 9:13
  on the main landing page.
• 9:15
  I don't disagree.
• 9:16
  And they have not promoted
• 9:17
  them at all at all.
• 9:20
  Uh,
• 9:24
  so uh uh this feels like a
• 9:30
  throwback but I hate the
• 9:32
  website the old one needed
• 9:33
  a refresh not a rebuild
• 9:36
  yeah I I don't love the
• 9:37
  navigation of their website
• 9:39
  uh but there's a lot of
• 9:41
  fish to fry and I'm not
• 9:42
  sure where that even um
• 9:46
  where that even plays a factor
• 9:49
  Man, Terry, new member.
• 9:51
  Thank you so much, Terry.
• 9:53
  Vicky, new member.
• 9:54
  Thank you so much.
• 9:56
  We appreciate that very, very much.
• 9:59
  It really does go a long way
• 10:00
  to support just having the
• 10:03
  apps to run the show every day.
• 10:07
  Denise Moore, what does purple taste like?
• 10:12
  To call it grape would be disingenuous.
• 10:15
  I don't think it's fully grape.
• 10:18
  I think there's some other
• 10:19
  berry flavor in there.
• 10:20
  So that's why I said it tastes purple.
• 10:33
  The CrossFit Games website
• 10:35
  is kind of like Netflix
• 10:36
  where you have to dig for info.
• 10:39
  I hate the netflix
• 10:40
  navigation if they don't
• 10:42
  suggest it like how do you
• 10:46
  how do you find stuff there
• 10:47
  is a search yeah um but man
• 10:50
  I don't know I I actually
• 10:54
  kind of like the hbo max
• 10:56
  search or app the best uh
• 10:59
  because you can actually
• 10:59
  break it down by like genre
• 11:02
  type and find things pretty fast
• 11:08
  Uh, black and gold was fit eight RX.
• 11:10
  I believe that is correct.
• 11:13
  Trying to live.
• 11:13
  How do you, how do I become a member?
• 11:15
  Uh, there usually, um, I know it's,
• 11:18
  it depends on what you're on, what device,
• 11:21
  if you are on a laptop for sure,
• 11:24
  there's a join button at
• 11:25
  the bottom of the, of the screen,
• 11:28
  usually right below the
• 11:29
  person that's talking.
• 11:30
  And then you just hit that join button.
• 11:33
  Um,
• 11:35
  so and I just updated all
• 11:37
  the badges um so they'll
• 11:39
  change depending on how
• 11:40
  long you are a member uh
• 11:41
  last night uh I noticed I
• 11:44
  hadn't kind of updated that
• 11:45
  very much so yeah wow we're
• 11:50
  ten minutes and I haven't
• 11:50
  even really hit anything I
• 11:52
  had on my agenda I'm moving
• 11:54
  the depleted female field
• 11:56
  to tomorrow uh because I
• 11:58
  want to give it a little
• 11:59
  more time and I had some
• 11:59
  other things I wanted to talk about
• 12:03
  Savon says like and subscribe.
• 12:05
  We like that too.
• 12:11
  Kenneth, I got a sweet new badge.
• 12:12
  Yep.
• 12:12
  I updated all the badges last night.
• 12:15
  So you should see those in your profile.
• 12:19
  So cool.
• 12:21
  the first thing I want to
• 12:22
  talk about is sneaky big
• 12:23
  news if people did not see
• 12:25
  this it was announced
• 12:27
  yesterday by crossfit and
• 12:31
  it is that um the heat one
• 12:38
  app and the crossfit games
• 12:40
  have formed a partnership
• 12:42
  this is massive for the sport
• 12:46
  Um,
• 12:47
  and I say sport because if you can play
• 12:50
  fantasy sports and you,
• 12:52
  or you can bet on a sport,
• 12:56
  it becomes a sport.
• 13:00
  What I, what I,
• 13:02
  why I think this is huge is whenever, um,
• 13:08
  you have that ability to play along, um,
• 13:15
  by playing a fantasy sport,
• 13:17
  or if eventually they can
• 13:19
  get to the point where you
• 13:20
  can actually bet on what
• 13:22
  the action that's going on,
• 13:24
  it increases the viewership
• 13:26
  of whatever you can bet on.
• 13:29
  I know CrossFit, it's not betting yet.
• 13:32
  It's a step.
• 13:34
  It's a step.
• 13:35
  This is fantasy sports.
• 13:37
  If you have not played on
• 13:38
  the Heat One app,
• 13:40
  it is the coolest thing
• 13:43
  right now that is the only
• 13:44
  place that I know of that
• 13:46
  you can go play fantasy
• 13:47
  sports with CrossFit.
• 13:50
  And to be partnering with
• 13:51
  the games is a huge step for them.
• 13:55
  They partnered with
• 13:55
  Wadapalooza a couple years ago,
• 13:57
  and the announcers were
• 13:58
  using the percentages of
• 14:00
  who people picked as part
• 14:02
  of the broadcast, which was really,
• 14:05
  really cool.
• 14:08
  And so...
• 14:10
  What I love about this,
• 14:10
  you have two options.
• 14:12
  They have a top ten
• 14:15
  pick where you just go and
• 14:16
  you have the female field
• 14:17
  and you have the men's
• 14:18
  field and you pick the top
• 14:19
  ten of who you think is
• 14:20
  going to finish in that order,
• 14:23
  or they have what they call shot caller,
• 14:26
  which you go event by event
• 14:28
  and you get to pick one male, one female,
• 14:31
  and one flex pick for every
• 14:33
  event at the CrossFit Games
• 14:36
  and you get points based on
• 14:37
  how close they came to winning.
• 14:43
  so the further away from
• 14:45
  first the worse your points
• 14:47
  are going to be for that
• 14:48
  individual and sometimes
• 14:51
  they put a cap on like how
• 14:53
  many times you can pick
• 14:54
  somebody sometimes they
• 14:55
  don't I hope for the games
• 14:58
  I hope for the games
• 14:59
  there's a cap on it so
• 15:00
  people don't just pick tia tia tia tia um
• 15:10
  See me rolling.
• 15:12
  Scott,
• 15:13
  can you do a show with showing us
• 15:15
  how to use it?
• 15:16
  I do math for a living and I
• 15:17
  still don't get it.
• 15:20
  Yeah.
• 15:22
  I can do that.
• 15:25
  I would think Tyler Watkins
• 15:27
  would be able to do a
• 15:27
  better job than I do.
• 15:30
  But I can show you from my
• 15:31
  perspective how to do it.
• 15:33
  Because I know Carolyn and
• 15:35
  Jamie and I all play every single event.
• 15:38
  Yeah.
• 15:42
  But it's pretty simple.
• 15:44
  Once you do it once or twice,
• 15:46
  it becomes pretty simple.
• 15:52
  Correct me if I'm wrong,
• 15:53
  but were they in
• 15:55
  partnership last year too,
• 15:56
  or am I imagining things?
• 15:57
  Obviously, with everything that happened,
• 15:59
  not many people played.
• 16:01
  I don't believe they were in
• 16:02
  partnership last year.
• 16:05
  I think the only time
• 16:06
  they've had the major
• 16:07
  partnership was with Wadapalooza.
• 16:10
  Um,
• 16:11
  and maybe it was Lazar's death that
• 16:14
  made me,
• 16:14
  maybe they did and it just didn't
• 16:16
  play out, but I, I, I don't know.
• 16:21
  I, I really don't believe they did.
• 16:23
  I think this is the first year,
• 16:25
  but if I'm wrong,
• 16:26
  I'm sure someone will correct me.
• 16:30
  I think you can't call it
• 16:31
  betting until the results are secure,
• 16:32
  reliable, and encrypted.
• 16:36
  Yeah, I agree.
• 16:36
  We're not too betting yet.
• 16:38
  That is not the case.
• 16:39
  But the fact that you can go
• 16:42
  head-to-head with your
• 16:43
  friends and think as to who
• 16:46
  is the better picker,
• 16:48
  and you can always do side bets.
• 16:50
  You don't have to do it through the app.
• 16:52
  You and your friend can have
• 16:53
  those unofficial bets on
• 16:54
  the side as to who's going to win.
• 17:06
  see me roll in few I feel
• 17:07
  better knowing you didn't
• 17:09
  don't get it because I
• 17:10
  couldn't figure it out
• 17:10
  either yeah it's not it's
• 17:15
  once you do it once it's
• 17:16
  pretty easy Sarah Cooper's
• 17:21
  philosophy is just pick
• 17:22
  randomly and hope for the best um
• 17:31
  always forget at least one
• 17:32
  day and then get smoked
• 17:33
  with that yeah me too
• 17:34
  because I'm usually at the
• 17:35
  event running from thing to
• 17:37
  thing and sometimes like
• 17:39
  the internet is not great
• 17:40
  inside the arena and then
• 17:42
  man I know it's syndicate
• 17:44
  one year like I was picking
• 17:46
  my picks walking into the
• 17:47
  arena and they didn't take
• 17:49
  because I just I waited too
• 17:50
  long but yeah if you're
• 17:53
  sitting at home it's it's a lot easier
• 18:03
  um if you're right someone
• 18:04
  will also correct you this
• 18:06
  just how the internet works
• 18:08
  yeah awesome yeah you've
• 18:10
  got that right so but yeah
• 18:16
  super big news I think this
• 18:17
  is as big news as who's
• 18:20
  going to be at the games
• 18:21
  because the more and more
• 18:23
  that people can participate in the action
• 18:27
  And show that they know more
• 18:29
  than John Young or that
• 18:30
  they know more than Savan
• 18:32
  or that they know more than me.
• 18:35
  The more that people are
• 18:35
  going to play these kinds of games.
• 18:38
  And most of the time,
• 18:39
  those people all play these.
• 18:40
  So you can see them on the leaderboard.
• 18:43
  You can see if you picked
• 18:44
  better than they did,
• 18:47
  which makes it a lot, a lot of fun.
• 18:50
  But if you look at every major,
• 18:53
  at least American sport,
• 18:54
  I don't know how it works in Europe,
• 18:56
  but I think it's big there too.
• 18:58
  If you can bet or play fantasy on it,
• 19:01
  that has,
• 19:02
  and you look at the correlation
• 19:03
  of viewership,
• 19:04
  there's a steep incline in
• 19:06
  viewership when you can
• 19:07
  play the games with the sport.
• 19:15
  Uh, Barry McConner,
• 19:16
  how do we think the partnership started?
• 19:18
  Wonder if Jenna reached out to Tyler.
• 19:19
  Yeah, I have no idea how it started.
• 19:22
  Um,
• 19:22
  I know Tyler's been working on things
• 19:24
  like this and the,
• 19:25
  and did the proof of
• 19:25
  concept with water Palooza.
• 19:27
  Um, and once you have the proof of concept,
• 19:31
  it's a lot easier to show
• 19:32
  people what you can do.
• 19:40
  Uh, Judy Reed, Scott,
• 19:41
  let's meet for a workout
• 19:42
  and you can give me a heat one tutorial.
• 19:46
  okay judy um so so that's
• 19:53
  pretty big um the next
• 19:57
  thing I want to talk about
• 19:59
  is um if you don't know I
• 20:01
  have an mba um a lot of
• 20:03
  times when greg is on with
• 20:06
  savan uh he kind of dogs
• 20:09
  people with with an mba
• 20:13
  And so I just wanted to
• 20:14
  point out that I don't
• 20:16
  always disagree with that statement,
• 20:19
  but I'm old.
• 20:21
  And I went back and got my
• 20:22
  MBA at a much older age,
• 20:24
  and I did it in person.
• 20:26
  I did not do it online.
• 20:29
  And the thing that made my
• 20:30
  MBA cool was that all of
• 20:32
  the people in my class...
• 20:34
  We did it as a cohort.
• 20:36
  We went from beginning to
• 20:37
  end as a complete group.
• 20:39
  And in that cohort,
• 20:41
  we would have class discussions.
• 20:44
  And our professors actually,
• 20:45
  they didn't lecture to us.
• 20:48
  It was more of a, hey, this scenario,
• 20:50
  how would you act in this case?
• 20:53
  How would you handle this?
• 20:54
  And it became more like case
• 20:56
  studies and discussions
• 20:59
  than a lecture series.
• 21:01
  And if you've done your MBA that way,
• 21:04
  I think it's extremely
• 21:06
  valuable and useful in the real world.
• 21:11
  Because it's not taking what
• 21:12
  somebody is just telling
• 21:13
  you and regurgitating it.
• 21:16
  It is taking something and
• 21:18
  actually having some
• 21:19
  creative and intelligent
• 21:21
  discussion over how the
• 21:23
  thing can be handled,
• 21:24
  how you can learn from
• 21:26
  lessons that other people have done.
• 21:30
  but I think that what's
• 21:31
  happened is the whole
• 21:33
  country has cheapened the,
• 21:35
  the MBA by having five
• 21:38
  million options for it all online.
• 21:41
  You can do it super quick
• 21:42
  without talking to anybody.
• 21:44
  I think if you're doing it
• 21:45
  without a discussion,
• 21:47
  then you're not doing it in
• 21:48
  a way that benefits you to have the MBA.
• 21:50
  Um, it,
• 21:55
  initially it was designed to
• 21:57
  have a further depth of
• 21:58
  thought by moving up a
• 22:01
  level and then discussing
• 22:02
  your own experiences with other people,
• 22:06
  not just sitting there
• 22:08
  having a professor tell you
• 22:09
  what you should think and
• 22:10
  how you should think.
• 22:12
  And so, so that's,
• 22:19
  I just wanted to say that.
• 22:21
  And to say that,
• 22:24
  the crazy thing about doing
• 22:25
  this show is I never have a script.
• 22:28
  Um,
• 22:28
  I may have like just an outline of what
• 22:30
  I'm going to talk about, but it does,
• 22:31
  it has no notes to it at all.
• 22:33
  And I can even show you like,
• 22:34
  there's nothing to my notes.
• 22:36
  Like, it's just,
• 22:37
  this is a list of things
• 22:38
  that we may talk about.
• 22:40
  Right.
• 22:41
  And so when I go off on like
• 22:43
  my monologues or whatever, um,
• 22:52
  When I go off of my monologues,
• 22:54
  it's all from just the
• 22:55
  heart and what I'm feeling
• 22:58
  in that moment.
• 23:04
  Sorry.
• 23:06
  And so the other day I
• 23:08
  talked about WFP forming
• 23:12
  out of a tragedy.
• 23:14
  And really what I wanted to
• 23:15
  say is that if you're
• 23:20
  building a business,
• 23:22
  You should be building your
• 23:23
  business based on your strength,
• 23:25
  what you can bring to the table,
• 23:28
  not on the misfortune or a
• 23:32
  tragedy of another company in the space.
• 23:36
  And what WFP,
• 23:38
  and I believe what Metfix is doing,
• 23:41
  is trying to build a
• 23:42
  company on the misfortunes,
• 23:45
  and the tragedy of another
• 23:48
  company and not based on
• 23:49
  their own rock solid,
• 23:53
  built strong beliefs.
• 23:57
  And because of that,
• 24:00
  they're struggling to gain
• 24:02
  traction at this point
• 24:06
  because they didn't build
• 24:07
  themselves up to be strong
• 24:08
  first before they jumped
• 24:11
  into this mix with everybody else.
• 24:16
  And I think even the bigger
• 24:17
  example to this is the PFAA.
• 24:22
  I've said repeatedly on the
• 24:23
  show that I think that the
• 24:25
  athletes should have
• 24:26
  representation to be able
• 24:28
  to have a voice.
• 24:29
  However,
• 24:30
  they did not start on their own strength.
• 24:35
  If we go back prior to the
• 24:37
  games last year,
• 24:40
  All they talked about was heights of bars,
• 24:44
  heights of rings,
• 24:46
  and they didn't really talk about safety.
• 24:48
  Then a tragedy happens,
• 24:50
  and all of a sudden, well,
• 24:52
  we're here for the safety.
• 24:53
  We're here for the safety.
• 24:57
  But they didn't build it strong enough.
• 24:59
  They didn't build their own
• 25:00
  strength up before they
• 25:03
  were trying to be
• 25:04
  opportunistic and take
• 25:06
  advantage of this tragedy.
• 25:09
  And because they didn't
• 25:10
  build their own strength first,
• 25:13
  they're failing to get any
• 25:15
  kind of traction moving forward.
• 25:21
  And that is why everybody is
• 25:23
  failing around the space.
• 25:27
  I've said over and over
• 25:28
  again that I think that
• 25:29
  what the WFP created as a
• 25:31
  season structure is sound and makes sense,
• 25:34
  but they didn't build
• 25:35
  themselves to be strong
• 25:36
  before they jumped into
• 25:37
  this mix to take on CrossFit.
• 25:42
  And because of that,
• 25:44
  I believe they are doomed to fail.
• 25:48
  Initially,
• 25:49
  I wanted to see if they could
• 25:51
  make this work so we could
• 25:52
  see if the structure could work.
• 25:59
  But at this point,
• 26:01
  I don't think they have a
• 26:02
  strong enough base to give
• 26:04
  us a true idea if they can
• 26:06
  be successful or not.
• 26:10
  Just like the PFAA does not
• 26:12
  have a strong base to show
• 26:16
  us that they actually
• 26:19
  represent all of the athletes,
• 26:21
  that they actually are about safety.
• 26:25
  They have not done anything
• 26:26
  in the safety realm to have
• 26:28
  a proof of concept to take on CrossFit.
• 26:37
  If you look at CrossFit Safety Council,
• 26:39
  the members of that board
• 26:41
  have such a resume in the
• 26:43
  world of safety that if
• 26:45
  CrossFit uses them correctly,
• 26:47
  and they did,
• 26:47
  they've sent out letters
• 26:48
  about safety already.
• 26:50
  And what can impact heat?
• 26:52
  What can impact the run and row event?
• 26:56
  They're starting to do
• 26:57
  things in that direction.
• 26:59
  I have yet to see anything
• 27:00
  from the PFAA about the same things.
• 27:09
  And because I said I was
• 27:10
  going into that live the other day,
• 27:12
  I just wanted to kind of
• 27:13
  clear it up more as that
• 27:17
  there's all these...
• 27:19
  for lack of a better term,
• 27:20
  vultures or piranhas in the
• 27:22
  water or in the air
• 27:25
  circling CrossFit because
• 27:26
  of a tragedy that occurred.
• 27:28
  And they didn't have their
• 27:32
  own foundation built first
• 27:35
  to take on that battle or
• 27:36
  to take on that war.
• 27:39
  And now they're losing
• 27:40
  traction at this moment.
• 27:47
  So...
• 27:53
  I don't know.
• 27:53
  It just irked me today when
• 27:55
  I saw a Jenny post, uh,
• 27:57
  Brian friends quote saying
• 27:59
  that he didn't know if he
• 28:00
  could be involved.
• 28:00
  If Dave continued to run a CrossFit,
• 28:04
  the sport.
• 28:08
  Um,
• 28:11
  and I still am confused by that
• 28:12
  statement.
• 28:14
  I don't see where it was all Dave.
• 28:20
  And that monologue was a couple days ago.
• 28:22
  If you want to go hear that,
• 28:23
  you can hear that.
• 28:24
  But it just keeps surprising me.
• 28:37
  I'm sorry I missed a lot of your comments.
• 28:39
  And where is the PFAA now
• 28:41
  demanding to review this year's safety,
• 28:43
  sending out emails with helpful tips?
• 28:46
  Exactly what I'm saying, Sarah.
• 28:47
  Thank you so much for that.
• 28:52
  pounding that home for me.
• 28:56
  Patrick Clark,
• 28:57
  but it took a disaster for
• 28:58
  that to happen as well for CrossFit.
• 29:02
  I don't, I don't,
• 29:03
  I'm not going to completely,
• 29:04
  I'm not going to disagree with you,
• 29:07
  but they did take action.
• 29:08
  They did make changes and
• 29:10
  they deserve to have credit for that.
• 29:15
  And there's a whole group of
• 29:16
  people that are not willing
• 29:17
  to ever give them credit for that again.
• 29:25
  Instead,
• 29:25
  they're putting their eggs in a
• 29:26
  basket that is teetering on
• 29:29
  sand that may or may not,
• 29:33
  that most likely will not
• 29:35
  succeed at this point.
• 29:46
  Vicky says, you said it best.
• 29:47
  Dave either chose or was
• 29:48
  chosen to take the hit.
• 29:50
  Seems like he's always
• 29:51
  played the villain to save
• 29:53
  everyone else from being attacked.
• 30:03
  Jenny, like Nick Johnston says,
• 30:05
  they have agendas.
• 30:11
  Doug Reed, Scott,
• 30:12
  hasn't CrossFit always made
• 30:13
  changes as they've learned?
• 30:15
  Maybe not to the degree that
• 30:16
  some wanted to,
• 30:17
  but they do have a history
• 30:19
  of improvement.
• 30:20
  Yeah,
• 30:21
  you can look at as far back as when
• 30:23
  Rich fell off the rope.
• 30:24
  Look at what caught him at the bottom.
• 30:29
  Nothing.
• 30:30
  Look what's at the bottom of a rope now.
• 30:37
  It's simple as that.
• 30:38
  They've made changes to things.
• 30:42
  I've said over and over
• 30:43
  again that when I was a volunteer,
• 30:46
  I've seen Dave move up and
• 30:48
  change an event seconds
• 30:50
  before it was to go live
• 30:52
  because they saw something
• 30:53
  that might be dangerous.
• 30:56
  Go watch other competitions
• 30:58
  and then watch the CrossFit
• 30:59
  Games and tell me which place is safer.
• 31:07
  Corey Leonard, the floor stopped his fall.
• 31:09
  Yeah.
• 31:10
  For Rich, the floor stopped his fall.
• 31:12
  Now there's these big mats that are like,
• 31:14
  what, two feet thick?
• 31:23
  Heard athletics.
• 31:23
  What kind of hat is that?
• 31:24
  This is a Chicago Bears hat.
• 31:27
  It's the classic B logo from
• 31:30
  back in the fifties and sixties.
• 31:43
  Dave's role feels very Vince McMahon,
• 31:45
  Gary Bettman, Roger Goodell.
• 31:48
  Yeah.
• 31:51
  Those people are hired to
• 31:52
  take the hit so that the
• 31:53
  owners don't have to.
• 31:56
  And in Vince McMahon's case,
• 31:57
  he just likes to be the bad guy.
• 32:04
  Yeah.
• 32:13
  So, of course,
• 32:16
  it's actually the floor and
• 32:17
  the Home Depot bucket.
• 32:18
  Yeah.
• 32:24
  Oh, Vicky,
• 32:24
  my husband wants to know what
• 32:25
  those medals are behind you.
• 32:28
  It was when I had a phase in
• 32:30
  my weight loss journey that
• 32:31
  I ran a bunch of five Ks, five milers,
• 32:37
  quarter marathons.
• 32:39
  And that's just the
• 32:39
  collection of medals I got from that.
• 32:47
  um uh patrick clark my
• 32:51
  swimming medals are old and
• 32:53
  crusty and in a in a box
• 32:55
  somewhere maybe even gone I
• 32:58
  don't know so um so anyway um
• 33:14
  Those are my thoughts there.
• 33:16
  The last thing I wanted to
• 33:16
  bring up today is just a
• 33:18
  thought I had after
• 33:18
  watching the All-Star game
• 33:20
  the other night.
• 33:22
  And shout out O'Neal Cruz,
• 33:24
  the five hundred thirteen
• 33:25
  foot home run from my Pittsburgh Pirates.
• 33:28
  Love that.
• 33:31
  And my Paul Skeens pitching
• 33:33
  a perfect inning in the
• 33:35
  first inning of the
• 33:36
  All-Star game from my Pirates as well.
• 33:39
  Great there.
• 33:40
  But anyway, CK Kevin, yes,
• 33:43
  there was an All-Star game.
• 33:44
  I don't care if you like
• 33:45
  baseball or whatever.
• 33:46
  This is a different point.
• 33:48
  The all-star game ended in a tie.
• 33:50
  And in years past,
• 33:51
  they either went way into
• 33:53
  the night in extra innings
• 33:54
  and then used up a lot of
• 33:58
  players and teams got mad
• 34:00
  because their players came
• 34:02
  back tired and beat up.
• 34:05
  And then they went to, if it's a tie,
• 34:07
  it's just going to end in a tie.
• 34:08
  It's an all-star game.
• 34:09
  It doesn't mean anything.
• 34:10
  We're going to end in a tie.
• 34:11
  They've changed it to do
• 34:13
  this thing called the swing-off.
• 34:16
  or as Pat McAfee called it, the dong-off.
• 34:20
  And what it was is you had
• 34:21
  to designate three players
• 34:23
  that if it ended in a tie would go out,
• 34:25
  get three swings,
• 34:28
  and they either were an out
• 34:30
  or a home run.
• 34:32
  The team that had the most
• 34:33
  home runs at the end of the
• 34:34
  dong-off would then win the
• 34:37
  All-Star game.
• 34:38
  And it was electric.
• 34:40
  If you did not see it,
• 34:41
  Kyle Schwarber came out, three swings,
• 34:43
  three home runs.
• 34:46
  Freaking phenomenal.
• 34:49
  If you think back to
• 34:53
  CrossFit in the sandbag
• 34:54
  ladder and the clean ladder.
• 34:57
  So the clean ladder,
• 34:58
  I believe was seventeen the
• 35:00
  year Frazier won the clean
• 35:01
  ladder and Tia.
• 35:03
  They had a dong off that was
• 35:06
  if you tied at the weight,
• 35:08
  you then had to do quick
• 35:09
  like five clean and jerks
• 35:11
  or five cleans and then
• 35:13
  sprint to the finish.
• 35:16
  that added so much excitement.
• 35:17
  It was kind of off to the side.
• 35:20
  I think if CrossFit were to
• 35:21
  expand that with something exciting,
• 35:24
  they would do it where like
• 35:26
  it was in the center as well.
• 35:28
  And they did it on the sandbag clean,
• 35:31
  where if there's a tie,
• 35:32
  there was three weights of sandbags.
• 35:34
  You had to throw over a yoke
• 35:36
  and then sprint to the finish line.
• 35:40
  I think those,
• 35:41
  because those clean ladders are so long,
• 35:45
  and they go so late into the night usually,
• 35:48
  if you had the dong off
• 35:50
  where you went over and did
• 35:52
  the tiebreaker like that,
• 35:54
  it would add so much
• 35:55
  excitement to what CrossFit has to offer.
• 36:00
  Anywhere you can add these
• 36:01
  little tidbits of
• 36:02
  excitement to the event that day,
• 36:06
  you should take advantage of.
• 36:09
  Yeah.
• 36:13
  Again, Andrew, I know it's become meh.
• 36:17
  I'm not debating that.
• 36:19
  I'm just using the one thing
• 36:20
  that was cool about the
• 36:21
  All-Star game and trying to
• 36:26
  apply it to how CrossFit
• 36:28
  can make their competitions
• 36:29
  more exciting.
• 36:31
  And if we have tiebreakers like that,
• 36:33
  that were featured after
• 36:34
  the event with these quick
• 36:36
  sprints and people trying
• 36:37
  to get across the line.
• 36:38
  If you remember Noah Olsen
• 36:40
  and Saxon Pancheck diving
• 36:42
  to the finish line in the
• 36:43
  clean ladder tiebreaker,
• 36:46
  they were fighting for
• 36:47
  every stinking point.
• 36:49
  And in that tiebreaker,
• 36:50
  it meant something.
• 36:56
  I think in areas where you
• 36:57
  can get those big clumps of
• 36:59
  individuals like in those
• 37:00
  ladders or another sprint,
• 37:04
  we should do tiebreakers
• 37:06
  and feature them more
• 37:08
  prominently on the floor so
• 37:10
  everybody can watch it.
• 37:14
  Jenny says,
• 37:15
  I like the tiebreakers like that.
• 37:16
  I'd love them.
• 37:19
  That clean ladder tiebreaker
• 37:20
  was so much fun to watch.
• 37:25
  Judy Reed, the long duck dong.
• 37:27
  We can name it that.
• 37:27
  That'd be awesome.
• 37:38
  Dong off was the old home
• 37:39
  run derby format.
• 37:41
  It was modified to be even
• 37:43
  simpler than the old home run derby.
• 37:46
  I think home run derby,
• 37:48
  you had like ten outs per
• 37:51
  is the original Home Run Derby.
• 37:53
  This one, it was three swings,
• 37:55
  whether it was an out or not.
• 37:57
  So it was limited to just three swings,
• 38:03
  which made it not long, super quick,
• 38:06
  super fast.
• 38:12
  Corey Leonard,
• 38:13
  sandbag clean tiebreaker
• 38:14
  with them tossing sandbags was good too.
• 38:16
  Totally, totally agree.
• 38:18
  And at the end,
• 38:18
  I think we had a five-person tiebreaker.
• 38:22
  And then even at the tiebreaker,
• 38:25
  Guy and Nick Matthew tied on that.
• 38:34
  So CrossFit hard part with
• 38:40
  ladders and the tiebreakers
• 38:42
  as athletes end up with
• 38:43
  varied volume over the weekend of work,
• 38:45
  but I love the optics.
• 38:48
  Um, and Lito makes a great point.
• 38:50
  Yes,
• 38:50
  but they're generally thirty seconds
• 38:52
  or less.
• 38:52
  So not really a big issue.
• 38:54
  Yeah.
• 38:54
  All the ones that they've used so far, um,
• 38:58
  have been less than thirty seconds.
• 39:07
  Uh, that's just awful.
• 39:08
  Joseph Ramirez, uh,
• 39:10
  keep doing double unders
• 39:11
  until someone fails to break ties.
• 39:19
  And Jenny's right.
• 39:20
  Yeah,
• 39:21
  the sandbag one where they had three
• 39:22
  different sandbag weights,
• 39:25
  they had to strategize
• 39:26
  which bag they were going to go to first,
• 39:29
  which one they were saving for last.
• 39:36
  And Jenny has seen a max
• 39:38
  effort double under tiebreak.
• 39:40
  We had one at a competition
• 39:41
  here locally that they went hundreds.
• 39:48
  And it probably lasted
• 39:50
  longer than anybody wanted it to.
• 39:52
  So I have a little PTSD on that one.
• 40:00
  Um,
• 40:01
  but I just thought what a fun way to
• 40:03
  like add excitement to an
• 40:05
  event without a lot of time,
• 40:07
  without a lot of effort.
• 40:09
  Um, and the crowd was going nuts, man.
• 40:17
  I was in the arena for both of those,
• 40:20
  and the place just went
• 40:21
  ballistic for every tiebreaker.
• 40:24
  And it was really hard
• 40:25
  because some of the
• 40:26
  finishes were so close,
• 40:27
  you didn't know who won
• 40:29
  until they went to the chip timer.
• 40:36
  Super, super crazy.
• 40:45
  Corey says,
• 40:46
  I think I have maybe one
• 40:47
  hundred and fifty unbroken dubs in me.
• 40:50
  Maybe that would be so gross.
• 40:58
  Jody Lynn,
• 40:59
  did I get any more info on my
• 41:00
  media on my media seats?
• 41:02
  I just know I have a seat.
• 41:05
  I probably won't know what
• 41:06
  the seat is until I get to the arena.
• 41:10
  Yeah.
• 41:13
  But I just know I didn't get
• 41:15
  enhanced access.
• 41:18
  So it just changes my plan a little bit,
• 41:20
  but I'll come up with a
• 41:22
  cool way to get around that.
• 41:36
  So.
• 41:38
  Yeah, this is what happened at ours.
• 41:41
  I think people went three,
• 41:42
  four hundred before someone
• 41:44
  broke in the tiebreaker that I saw.
• 41:54
  And I think Jeremy's sending
• 41:55
  Corey a love letter here.
• 42:02
  So, okay.
• 42:05
  Well, that's just what I think.
• 42:06
  I think that would be a way
• 42:07
  to really add a lot to
• 42:10
  what's going on and add
• 42:12
  some excitement to the games.
• 42:16
  With that, guys,
• 42:18
  I have an appointment later today.
• 42:20
