  What's going on, everybody?
• 0:03
  It is freezing cold in the north and
• 0:06
  it's only going to get worse.
• 0:08
  Let's talk about it.
• 0:21
  I love the chase and the hunt,
• 0:22
  and I set the pace when I'm running.
• 0:24
  I always take what I want,
• 0:25
  and I always give it one hundred.
• 0:27
  Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.
• 0:28
  Play the game like it's nothing.
• 0:30
  I'm always thankful for something.
• 0:31
  Don't take for granted, stay humble.
• 0:33
  Now wake up!
• 0:34
  It's time to look at the enemy.
• 0:36
  Look in the mirror if he is no
• 0:38
  friend to me.
• 0:39
  It's not working out,
• 0:41
  maybe it's the chemistry.
• 0:42
  It's time to...
• 0:47
  I'm shorting out, man.
• 0:48
  That was weird.
• 0:52
  Let's try this.
• 0:58
  It's lunchtime.
• 1:00
  What is going on, everybody?
• 1:02
  Welcome to Lunch with the Clydesdale.
• 1:03
  I am the Clydesdale.
• 1:05
  He is Cowboy.
• 1:10
  Very nice.
• 1:15
  I want to surprise you with a little
• 1:16
  sound effect, man.
• 1:18
  I'll take it.
• 1:19
  I'll take it.
• 1:19
  I'll take it.
• 1:20
  I'm also not made of cake.
• 1:21
  You're also not made of cake.
• 1:26
  Yeah,
• 1:26
  this is – can you name where this
• 1:28
  is from?
• 1:29
  Cowboy.
• 1:31
  Yeah, Kid Rock's home.
• 1:32
  There we go.
• 1:35
  Yeah, the very opening chords.
• 1:38
  I was going to say it's Odd Storch.
• 1:40
  Yeah.
• 1:44
  We've got Vicki.
• 1:45
  We've got Trent Olive.
• 1:47
  We've got Ortega already in the house.
• 1:51
  So Larry Young went from four to twenty
• 1:57
  one signups for open.
• 2:00
  That's nice.
• 2:01
  Nice.
• 2:03
  I actually have that on our list, man.
• 2:04
  It's.
• 2:06
  Yesterday, or was it yesterday?
• 2:08
  Yeah.
• 2:09
  Dave Castro was on the Sport of Fitness
• 2:11
  podcast with Chase.
• 2:15
  They talked about the numbers from the
• 2:17
  open, and things are looking up.
• 2:22
  How up?
• 2:22
  Things are looking fantastic.
• 2:26
  So here is Jenny clipped this and has
• 2:30
  it on Dense Updates.
• 2:32
  This is what she clipped.
• 2:34
  Open Reg has been open for one week.
• 2:36
  We have forty thousand five hundred and
• 2:39
  sixty people signed up for the open and
• 2:42
  it's the most we've had since twenty
• 2:44
  twenty two.
• 2:46
  Double of what we had last year.
• 2:47
  So one of the best opening days that
• 2:50
  we've ever had in the open last week.
• 2:52
  So last Wednesday,
• 2:53
  we was the second highest day one ever.
• 2:57
  Damn, that's cool.
• 2:58
  Crossed it open.
• 3:01
  So.
• 3:03
  Second highest day one ever.
• 3:07
  And we're at the highest since twenty
• 3:11
  twenty two for one week.
• 3:14
  Forty thousand five hundred people.
• 3:17
  Love to see it.
• 3:19
  So, yeah,
• 3:20
  things are off to a good start.
• 3:24
  Hopefully we see it stay this way.
• 3:26
  Agreed.
• 3:29
  wrap it up, wrap it up,
• 3:30
  wrap it up, keep it going.
• 3:32
  You know, let's,
• 3:32
  let's get three thousand people signed up.
• 3:35
  What I think is awesome is all the
• 3:37
  people like out there buying other people
• 3:41
  open registrations.
• 3:43
  Oh,
• 3:43
  I'm fixing to do a couple of that
• 3:45
  for a couple people in my gym.
• 3:46
  They just don't know it yet.
• 3:48
  Yeah, it's you can buy bundles now.
• 3:52
  You can in two different ways.
• 3:54
  You can actually buy like a group of
• 3:56
  open registrations at a discounted rate
• 4:00
  and hand out to people.
• 4:02
  Or you can buy these bundles now that
• 4:04
  you get your judges cert,
• 4:05
  a T-shirt and your open registration.
• 4:09
  I didn't get the bundle because I didn't
• 4:12
  want the T-shirt,
• 4:13
  but I do need to do the judges
• 4:14
  course this year.
• 4:16
  Because I did not do the advanced judges
• 4:18
  course last year.
• 4:19
  I don't think I did anyway.
• 4:21
  I have to go back and look.
• 4:22
  I don't remember doing the advanced judges
• 4:23
  course.
• 4:24
  I know I did the regular one.
• 4:26
  Lito just got her little sister to sign
• 4:28
  up today for her very first Open.
• 4:31
  That's what we're talking about.
• 4:32
  Let's go.
• 4:33
  Let's go.
• 4:34
  You don't really know what the Open is
• 4:36
  until you do it.
• 4:38
  no like if it wasn't for the peer
• 4:40
  pressure of my friends making me sign up
• 4:43
  i would not have known what it was
• 4:45
  about and and here we are fourteen opens
• 4:49
  later or thirteen or whatever it is i
• 4:51
  don't even know a lot a lot of
• 4:54
  opens later it's been several it's been
• 4:59
  several this is my eighth so
• 5:02
  All this momentum for the love of God,
• 5:04
  Dave,
• 5:04
  give us a decently well-rounded open.
• 5:06
  Keep this merry-go-round turning.
• 5:09
  A well-rounded open, Larry,
• 5:11
  or one that you like, Larry?
• 5:14
  I was about to say,
• 5:15
  Larry's idea of a well-rounded open is
• 5:16
  going to have a one right max bench
• 5:17
  press in it.
• 5:22
  Ortega's sponsoring five people.
• 5:23
  If anybody you know is new and wants
• 5:25
  to do the open and for whatever reason
• 5:27
  can't pay, Ortega's your man.
• 5:32
  good on you good on you jonathan good
• 5:34
  on you yeah i know a lot of
• 5:36
  people are doing that i know uh um
• 5:40
  jenny on dense updates this morning she
• 5:42
  bought two open bundles uh so t-shirt and
• 5:46
  judges course and are giving them away on
• 5:50
  the next show outstanding outstanding i'll
• 5:56
  probably do something like that in the
• 5:57
  coming weeks but we have we have a
• 5:59
  little bit of time
• 6:00
  Yeah, got plenty of time.
• 6:05
  Vicky said, ditto what Ortega said.
• 6:08
  Go ahead, Vicky.
• 6:10
  Vicky's a good dude, man.
• 6:14
  Mark Phillips,
• 6:15
  I'd sign up twice for a bench one
• 6:16
  rep max.
• 6:19
  You and me both.
• 6:20
  You and me both.
• 6:23
  I would not,
• 6:24
  even though I have been benching here
• 6:26
  lately, but no.
• 6:28
  Not my thing.
• 6:32
  Uh, agree.
• 6:34
  Outstanding idea.
• 6:38
  Um, ground is going down.
• 6:40
  Uh,
• 6:40
  five AM squat club got a little feature
• 6:42
  on the Hiller channel yesterday.
• 6:44
  I was literally watching that before we
• 6:47
  went live, like before I logged in, um,
• 6:50
  Dude,
• 6:51
  his little morning thing he's got going on
• 6:53
  is pretty cool.
• 6:54
  Like, got the live chat going on.
• 6:57
  His voice is super calming.
• 7:00
  Like, very, very zen type thing.
• 7:02
  I really do like the man's approach.
• 7:04
  Good on you, my brother.
• 7:05
  Good on you.
• 7:07
  Yeah, my problem is at five a.m.
• 7:09
  I need Harold Rollins.
• 7:12
  Oh, yeah, no.
• 7:12
  Henry Rollins.
• 7:16
  henry rollins henry rollins yes i knew who
• 7:18
  you meant yeah i knew you meant yeah
• 7:21
  oh one hundred percent no uh you're a
• 7:24
  guy here would i be just like napping
• 7:25
  on my on my mat dude on on
• 7:29
  the way so i'm i'm up at four
• 7:32
  thirty i'm usually out the house here
• 7:33
  lately by five fifteen something on those
• 7:36
  lines and on the way to the gym
• 7:39
  not real loud,
• 7:40
  but as soon as I get there,
• 7:41
  my earbuds go in and like,
• 7:43
  we just blast and whatever,
• 7:44
  whatever it is I'm blasting.
• 7:45
  Cause I need to, I need to,
• 7:48
  I need the noise.
• 7:52
  Uh, yeah, I, one of the,
• 7:54
  my pump up songs is a ball.
• 7:56
  What the Bob, a dang,
• 7:57
  a dang diggy diggy, you know,
• 8:00
  speaking of kid rock, that gets me up.
• 8:01
  Let's go.
• 8:07
  Uh, I'm too anxious for that stuff.
• 8:09
  Maybe some Steven Wilson jr.
• 8:13
  If I could play it on YouTube.
• 8:16
  Yeah.
• 8:17
  That's dang picky.
• 8:19
  I am curious as to, uh, Oh dude,
• 8:21
  all of my, uh,
• 8:23
  my qualifier videos from last year, uh,
• 8:26
  I say all of them,
• 8:27
  ninety percent of my qualifier videos from
• 8:29
  last year,
• 8:29
  whether it be for quarterfinal semifinal
• 8:32
  or semifinals or like online qualifiers,
• 8:35
  got flagged every single one of them.
• 8:37
  Your video may not show in certain
• 8:39
  countries.
• 8:39
  I'm like,
• 8:40
  as long as it shows to the people
• 8:41
  who are watching it, I don't care.
• 8:43
  People in Pakistan can't see it.
• 8:44
  It's going to be fine.
• 8:48
  you know i did that music show for
• 8:49
  a brief minute where we would do top
• 8:51
  fives of a different genre all of those
• 8:55
  are are flagged all of them i am
• 9:01
  curious as to uh if he because hillary
• 9:03
  mentioned in his videos wondering if he
• 9:04
  gets dinged because he is monetized like
• 9:06
  he's got enough people to be so i'm
• 9:09
  wondering if he gets dinged because like
• 9:10
  his music's just playing in the background
• 9:13
  Yeah, I'm monetized.
• 9:15
  And so when you get dinged,
• 9:17
  like it cuts anything you make on that
• 9:19
  video.
• 9:20
  And I make enough to pay for my
• 9:22
  platforms now.
• 9:25
  So, you know, I'm not making money,
• 9:28
  but I'm breaking even now because of what
• 9:31
  I make on YouTube.
• 9:32
  So I don't want them to get like
• 9:34
  dinged a lot.
• 9:37
  And if we would get some people,
• 9:40
  more people to subscribe,
• 9:42
  we could get a little bit more money
• 9:43
  and keep that going.
• 9:45
  Yeah, so like and subscribe, people.
• 9:47
  Like and subscribe.
• 9:48
  That's what I'm looking for.
• 9:50
  Alito mutes all of her videos and just
• 9:51
  shows her name on a little whiteboard.
• 9:54
  I know a lot of people went to
• 9:55
  that.
• 9:55
  It was pretty smart.
• 9:56
  Put all the information they want on the
• 9:58
  whiteboard, hold it up to the camera.
• 10:00
  That way you don't forget.
• 10:03
  I got one last year and had to
• 10:06
  redo the whole workout.
• 10:09
  Yeah.
• 10:10
  You don't forget,
• 10:11
  you don't stumble over yourself sometimes,
• 10:13
  which I do because like,
• 10:15
  so last year we had to have the
• 10:16
  judge and the head judge, right?
• 10:17
  So my judge is, uh,
• 10:20
  Bernard and my head judge was Jeff,
• 10:21
  depending on which one was going on.
• 10:23
  And,
• 10:24
  every single,
• 10:25
  if you go back and look at my
• 10:26
  semifinal videos from last year,
• 10:28
  every single one of them there in the
• 10:29
  background,
• 10:29
  like doing something to start off with,
• 10:31
  like they were doing dumbbell curls at one
• 10:33
  point on the time they were doing pushups
• 10:35
  and you got to introduce them every single
• 10:37
  time.
• 10:39
  And so like, if that goes wrong,
• 10:40
  then you're laughing at yourself and it's
• 10:43
  a whole thing.
• 10:46
  I'm Mark Phillips, same Lito.
• 10:47
  Plus no one can hear my wife yell
• 10:49
  at me when I mute the video.
• 10:52
  i got the opposite problem mark i yelled
• 10:53
  at my wife last year so i got
• 10:56
  that going for me but they they changed
• 11:00
  my music oh i know right as i'm
• 11:03
  starting to work out i remember when it
• 11:05
  happened yeah all queued up to get going
• 11:08
  and bro i was feeling it and i
• 11:11
  was like okay start the clock and as
• 11:15
  soon as it starts i take off it
• 11:17
  was the lunge
• 11:19
  I think it was.
• 11:20
  And she tells Brody to go change that
• 11:22
  song because she didn't like it.
• 11:24
  Yeah.
• 11:25
  My wife does it every time I'm driving
• 11:27
  and listen,
• 11:27
  driver gets control of the music.
• 11:29
  They're the ones that have to stay alert
• 11:31
  and awake.
• 11:32
  Everybody else in the car can be on
• 11:34
  their phone and sleep and do whatever they
• 11:36
  want.
• 11:37
  I get to control the music.
• 11:39
  Yeah.
• 11:40
  We're playing what I want to hear.
• 11:42
  And if I'm working out, I,
• 11:43
  and I'm the only one I damn well
• 11:45
  better get to control the music.
• 11:48
  Yeah, no,
• 11:48
  you don't get a say in what I'm
• 11:49
  listening to just because you're there.
• 11:51
  That doesn't work that way.
• 11:54
  we had an interesting conversation
• 11:56
  yesterday right after we went off the air
• 11:59
  about shows that jumped the shark and we,
• 12:02
  and we had this conversation.
• 12:03
  Let me preface it with that.
• 12:07
  There are,
• 12:07
  there are media outlets in this space that
• 12:10
  people still listen to.
• 12:11
  And you and I are like,
• 12:12
  I don't know why,
• 12:13
  because there's nothing new coming from
• 12:16
  these people,
• 12:16
  but there's this sense of loyalty that you
• 12:19
  get by watching or listening to somebody
• 12:21
  and,
• 12:22
  And I use an example with you of,
• 12:25
  you know, just like a TV show.
• 12:27
  You watch and you watch and you watch,
• 12:28
  and then it gets really bad.
• 12:30
  And you're like, well,
• 12:31
  I've stuck with them for five years,
• 12:33
  so I'm just going to see it out.
• 12:35
  And then it never gets any better.
• 12:37
  Well,
• 12:38
  we had a fun conversation yesterday
• 12:39
  because your wife is a massive fan of
• 12:44
  nine one one.
• 12:46
  Explain.
• 12:48
  And I actually used to watch it.
• 12:50
  I thought it jumped the shark.
• 12:52
  And I jumped off.
• 12:54
  I was gone.
• 12:55
  You're telling me this season it's even
• 12:57
  worse than before.
• 12:59
  They went into space.
• 13:03
  There was a nine-man emergency in space.
• 13:06
  in space they put them on some sort
• 13:09
  of automated capsule that they've blasted
• 13:12
  them off into space so the police lady
• 13:18
  who was married to the fire chief and
• 13:20
  then the other fire lady the black the
• 13:23
  bald-headed lady were both on the stand
• 13:26
  and it just so happens that they know
• 13:27
  each other
• 13:29
  And they got to go off into space
• 13:31
  at the same time,
• 13:32
  even though it was just random people from
• 13:33
  whatever, which makes, first of all,
• 13:36
  that's absurd to begin with, right?
• 13:38
  That's like,
• 13:38
  if me and you got chosen and you're
• 13:40
  like,
• 13:40
  we're going to put you guys on the
• 13:42
  same capsule with these three or four,
• 13:44
  whatever, however many it was,
• 13:45
  strangers to have this experience and to
• 13:48
  go into space.
• 13:49
  And then of course,
• 13:50
  as soon as they get into space,
• 13:54
  shit goes crazy.
• 13:56
  And there's now a nine one one emergency.
• 13:58
  And like the people on the ground from
• 13:59
  the nine one one are like helping them
• 14:01
  to try to figure out what's going on
• 14:03
  in this capsule.
• 14:03
  And they're talking to these other people.
• 14:05
  What about this?
• 14:05
  And I'm just sitting here.
• 14:07
  I'm like, bro, what are we doing?
• 14:11
  What are we doing?
• 14:14
  Why?
• 14:15
  I get home and that's what's on there.
• 14:16
  And of course, my wife,
• 14:18
  who I love very much,
• 14:19
  who occasionally does actually listen to
• 14:20
  this show,
• 14:22
  will look at me and be like,
• 14:24
  just let me enjoy my show.
• 14:25
  I'm like, I would love to.
• 14:28
  But holy smokes.
• 14:31
  Like, it is bad.
• 14:33
  I'll train all of I'm still watching nine
• 14:35
  on one,
• 14:35
  but this season is a bit bizarre.
• 14:37
  What got me, Winter,
• 14:39
  is when the cruise ship flipped upside
• 14:42
  down and did not sink.
• 14:45
  That's what sent me packing.
• 14:49
  Now we're talking like that's not even
• 14:52
  feasible.
• 14:54
  They went to space.
• 14:56
  And now we went to space.
• 14:59
  It's like, so have you seen the...
• 15:01
  know if it was the latest fast and
• 15:02
  furious movie or the one before that but
• 15:04
  like no they made a rocket ship they
• 15:07
  made a spaceship out of a fierro a
• 15:11
  pontiac fierro and they they blasted uh
• 15:16
  ludacris and uh oh what's his name
• 15:23
  anyway they blasted them too because they
• 15:25
  had to go do something into space and
• 15:27
  of course they just figured out how to
• 15:28
  make a rocket and so it's the same
• 15:30
  thing right like now we're fast and
• 15:33
  furious in an in space now we're nine
• 15:37
  one one with the two random characters
• 15:40
  from the show now the pontiac fiero whose
• 15:43
  big default was if you shut both doors
• 15:45
  at the same time the back window blew
• 15:48
  out that was they caught on fire
• 15:52
  Yeah.
• 15:52
  And they happen to catch on fire.
• 15:53
  The Iron Duke actually caught on fire from
• 15:56
  time to time.
• 15:57
  And they were like, you know what?
• 15:58
  You should make one of those.
• 16:00
  Going into space.
• 16:02
  Of course it is.
• 16:04
  Obviously.
• 16:05
  Yeah.
• 16:08
  They also catch on fire.
• 16:09
  Yeah.
• 16:11
  So it's well-equipped to handle breaking
• 16:15
  through the atmosphere and going into
• 16:17
  space.
• 16:18
  Just some slight modifications,
• 16:20
  and it was perfectly fine.
• 16:22
  They were also in space in old-school
• 16:25
  diving bell uniforms.
• 16:28
  Because, you know, why wouldn't you be?
• 16:31
  Jody,
• 16:32
  I wasn't aware of this nine one to
• 16:33
  one show.
• 16:33
  Well,
• 16:34
  originally it was actually kind of good.
• 16:36
  It was just,
• 16:37
  it was almost like a mission impossible
• 16:39
  ish cop show and, and fire show.
• 16:44
  And it was like high end action with
• 16:46
  it,
• 16:47
  but it has long ago jumped the shark
• 16:50
  and I can no longer can no longer
• 16:53
  watch it.
• 16:54
  And like we were talking about, okay,
• 16:57
  so there's,
• 16:57
  there's winter saying that one.
• 17:01
  Now there's nine one one Nashville.
• 17:02
  It's awful,
• 17:04
  a hundred times worse than the original.
• 17:05
  Like we were talking about yesterday,
• 17:06
  Chris O'Donnell,
• 17:07
  Robin from the worst Batman movie ever
• 17:10
  made is somehow a Southern fire chief in
• 17:14
  the Nashville station.
• 17:17
  And like they parade country stores on
• 17:20
  there because they're in Nashville.
• 17:22
  Like they just cameos from random people
• 17:24
  while they're on there and whatnot.
• 17:25
  And like the whole thing is absolutely,
• 17:29
  It's insane.
• 17:30
  It really, really is.
• 17:33
  Well, I have a meeting at one,
• 17:38
  so I want to get through a couple
• 17:40
  little things here.
• 17:41
  But I did want to talk about that.
• 17:42
  I thought it was a fun conversation.
• 17:45
  Legends.
• 17:45
  Legends have put out more invitations.
• 17:49
  Now, these ones make sense.
• 17:52
  Yeah.
• 17:52
  These are either the top ten or the
• 17:55
  top five from the games last year got
• 17:58
  invites to Del Mar.
• 18:00
  Here is the elite division,
• 18:02
  top ten finishers at the games.
• 18:07
  Regardless if you think they're going to
• 18:08
  compete this year or not,
• 18:10
  like Tia Claire Toomey,
• 18:11
  got an invite to Del Mar.
• 18:16
  Um,
• 18:17
  not to be confused with Reno nine one
• 18:18
  one.
• 18:19
  It's actually getting very close to Reno
• 18:21
  nine one one at this point.
• 18:24
  It's the difference between it is that
• 18:25
  Reno nine one one is,
• 18:27
  is intentionally funny and it knows who it
• 18:30
  is and it knows who it is.
• 18:32
  And nine one one is unintentionally funny
• 18:34
  just because of how ridiculous it is
• 18:36
  moving right along.
• 18:40
  So these are the top ten from the
• 18:41
  games last year.
• 18:42
  It also went into the top ten finishers
• 18:45
  in each of the Masters divisions.
• 18:47
  Got an automatic bid for Del Mar.
• 18:49
  So there's our very own Carolyn Prevost.
• 18:53
  On the next screen,
• 18:53
  there's our very own Jamie Latimer.
• 18:56
  They both got invites into Del Mar this
• 19:02
  year for the Legends.
• 19:06
  Shout out to Rudy Berger.
• 19:08
  Jody, how about True Detective?
• 19:10
  Anyone seen that?
• 19:11
  I heard Jody Foster tell about it on
• 19:14
  Conan.
• 19:14
  I watched the first season with
• 19:16
  McConaughey and Woody Harrelson,
• 19:18
  which was really good.
• 19:20
  But I mean,
• 19:22
  it is one of those you cannot look
• 19:24
  away, but it is.
• 19:25
  I don't know.
• 19:28
  It's good.
• 19:29
  But the subsequent seasons,
• 19:30
  I just couldn't get into.
• 19:31
  My wife tried to watch the Jody Foster
• 19:33
  one,
• 19:33
  and she even bagged out on that one.
• 19:38
  So here it is.
• 19:39
  Lito's asking how long they have.
• 19:42
  They do not say, they just say, athletes,
• 19:44
  check your email and DMs for your
• 19:45
  registration invite.
• 19:47
  If you don't see an email,
• 19:48
  DM us here and we'll get it to
• 19:49
  you right away.
• 19:51
  So we don't know how long they have
• 19:54
  to accept the invite and what it means
• 19:56
  for how they backfill if anybody says no.
• 20:00
  But you know, at some of these levels,
• 20:02
  people are not going to go all the
• 20:03
  way to California for their...
• 20:09
  For their semifinal.
• 20:11
  What is Jamie saying right there?
• 20:13
  If I decline, what?
• 20:18
  Oh, if we decline this,
• 20:20
  then finish high enough in quarters,
• 20:22
  would we be in line for another invite?
• 20:25
  That's an excellent question.
• 20:28
  So Jamie has that hip surgery thing that
• 20:30
  she's rehabbing and she just doesn't know
• 20:32
  where she's going to be at that point
• 20:34
  in time in the year.
• 20:35
  So that's why she would ask a question
• 20:37
  like that.
• 20:39
  That's a legit question.
• 20:43
  Because she may decline this because at
• 20:46
  this point,
• 20:46
  she really shouldn't be doing that.
• 20:49
  And and then Megan is following.
• 20:57
  Yes, you will receive another invite.
• 21:01
  Okay.
• 21:04
  But if you accept and don't place high
• 21:06
  enough, your invite gets revoked?
• 21:09
  No.
• 21:09
  Come on, people.
• 21:13
  Now you're just being silly.
• 21:14
  That's just being some type of way.
• 21:18
  I'm also wondering about Elite.
• 21:20
  Just for John Wood's response here,
• 21:24
  let's invite the same ten people to every
• 21:26
  competition.
• 21:31
  Because everybody on this earth got a
• 21:33
  mayhem invite too.
• 21:35
  yes and i'm betting they're on the
• 21:37
  syndicate invite list too so and some have
• 21:43
  already declined one and haven't said
• 21:47
  anything about the next one like this is
• 21:51
  gonna by the time this is actually settled
• 21:52
  and done or even by the open whatever
• 21:57
  because
• 21:58
  They're going to have invitations.
• 21:59
  Then they're going to have not
• 22:00
  invitations.
• 22:00
  And they're going to have,
• 22:01
  we're going to have to go to the
• 22:03
  open and then quarters.
• 22:04
  And then, okay,
• 22:05
  now you get an invitation from quarters to
• 22:07
  go.
• 22:08
  It's a mess.
• 22:09
  And it's only going to get worse.
• 22:13
  Lito,
• 22:13
  just because she wants to aggravate me.
• 22:18
  What if you're invited, you accept,
• 22:19
  and then don't sign up for the open?
• 22:23
  If it were my world,
• 22:25
  you would then be disqualified from
• 22:27
  competing because you do not qualify for
• 22:29
  the games because you did not participate
• 22:31
  in the Open.
• 22:32
  However, it's allowed in this thing,
• 22:36
  and who the hell knows what's allowed?
• 22:39
  That is Wilson Pack's world.
• 22:41
  It is.
• 22:42
  Wilson and my world jive.
• 22:45
  If you're not eligible to make the
• 22:47
  CrossFit Games or you have already
• 22:48
  qualified for the games,
• 22:50
  you are disqualified from being at his
• 22:51
  event.
• 22:53
  Dylan, moving right along.
• 22:58
  Mark Phillips,
• 22:58
  wildcards don't have to do the open,
• 23:00
  so they have a loophole.
• 23:01
  But to go to the games,
• 23:03
  you have to have done the open.
• 23:05
  You have to finish top two thousand in
• 23:08
  the world at quarterfinals.
• 23:11
  And you can't go to quarterfinals without
• 23:12
  doing the open.
• 23:15
  I think what he's talking about is like
• 23:16
  the like when when what's his face went
• 23:20
  a couple of years ago,
• 23:21
  I say a couple of years ago in
• 23:22
  twenty nineteen.
• 23:28
  Wild cards to the games.
• 23:29
  There are no wild cards.
• 23:31
  They have the right to reserve whoever
• 23:33
  they invite up to a couple of whoever
• 23:35
  they want to actually invite.
• 23:38
  The rules were different in twenty
• 23:39
  nineteen.
• 23:41
  They were different.
• 23:42
  The rules as of last year,
• 23:45
  twenty twenty five and twenty twenty six.
• 23:47
  You have to finish so high in the
• 23:50
  open to qualify to be a games athlete.
• 23:54
  Anything that happens before that,
• 23:55
  we're not under these rules.
• 24:00
  Bring up Lito's comment.
• 24:04
  What if you pop for PEDs,
• 24:05
  then take four years juicing,
• 24:08
  and then get invited to semifinals asking
• 24:10
  for a friend?
• 24:12
  We discussed that yesterday.
• 24:13
  That is a very, very bad look.
• 24:21
  Very bad look.
• 24:22
  However...
• 24:23
  These because CrossFit has let these
• 24:26
  people run their own competitions.
• 24:28
  They can do whatever they want with their
• 24:30
  invitations.
• 24:31
  Do I agree with it?
• 24:33
  I do not, but it's not my world.
• 24:35
  I think it's a bad look.
• 24:37
  I think when you have a problem of
• 24:39
  PED use,
• 24:40
  you don't promote people who popped
• 24:43
  without and make that allow them to skip
• 24:45
  elements of the season.
• 24:47
  That is just ridiculous.
• 24:53
  Because I feel like if you just got
• 24:55
  an invitation and all you did was sign
• 24:59
  up for the open,
• 25:01
  basically sleepwalk through that,
• 25:02
  sleepwalk through quarterfinals,
• 25:04
  but you got an invitation to a semifinal
• 25:06
  and you win,
• 25:09
  now you just kind of circumvented the
• 25:11
  entire system at that point because you
• 25:12
  didn't really do semifinals.
• 25:14
  You didn't really do quarterfinals.
• 25:16
  You didn't put your body through that.
• 25:18
  You just kind of skate and go and
• 25:19
  buy and then just go and do one
• 25:22
  live competition and now all of a sudden
• 25:24
  you're at the games.
• 25:28
  What if you pop for PEDs, register,
• 25:30
  but do not do the open,
• 25:31
  rub your belly and pat your head and
• 25:33
  jump on one foot at all at the
• 25:35
  same time?
• 25:36
  Well, in that case,
• 25:38
  then you get the extra silly clause of
• 25:42
  you are an automatic podium finisher at
• 25:44
  the games.
• 25:46
  I think you get,
• 25:46
  I think that's how you get spirited to
• 25:47
  games.
• 25:56
  Um, just, oh gosh, Andrew.
• 26:03
  Uh,
• 26:03
  so CrossFit could invite someone who
• 26:05
  didn't, oh, here it is.
• 26:07
  Dang it.
• 26:08
  Keeps moving.
• 26:09
  Uh,
• 26:09
  CrossFit rule book says CrossFit can
• 26:10
  invite anyone at any stage of the
• 26:12
  competition.
• 26:14
  They haven't though.
• 26:15
  They haven't since twenty nineteen.
• 26:21
  But that doesn't mean they won't.
• 26:26
  There's only thirty spots now.
• 26:28
  You can't.
• 26:31
  I'm not saying you're wrong.
• 26:34
  And I get it.
• 26:35
  There's only thirty spots.
• 26:36
  It's way less than it was before.
• 26:38
  But that's not saying that they've done
• 26:40
  dumber shit.
• 26:41
  It wouldn't surprise me at this point.
• 26:45
  Well,
• 26:45
  the last thing I want to talk about,
• 26:47
  because I only have a couple minutes,
• 26:48
  is it's been circling around that there's
• 26:51
  a small cut in one of the Mayhem
• 26:53
  videos where Rich is discussing the live
• 26:56
  stream for the Mayhem classic and the way
• 27:01
  they lost money last year because of the
• 27:02
  cost of that
• 27:06
  of that stream, right?
• 27:08
  They publicly said they spent over two
• 27:11
  hundred thousand dollars on that stream
• 27:13
  last year.
• 27:14
  They lost money and they're not going to
• 27:15
  do it again this year.
• 27:18
  So what does that mean
• 27:20
  than for live streaming.
• 27:22
  And I think it's not just a mayhem
• 27:24
  thing.
• 27:24
  I think it's a big thing.
• 27:25
  Because when I was talking with Wilson Pak
• 27:28
  a month ago, you know,
• 27:30
  he's under the same... Last year,
• 27:33
  Savant's team came in,
• 27:35
  did it at a very, very reduced rate,
• 27:38
  if not free.
• 27:40
  I don't know the details of their deal,
• 27:42
  but it was way less than any of
• 27:44
  the other streaming services.
• 27:47
  This year...
• 27:48
  Syndicate Crown and NorCal are on the same
• 27:51
  weekend.
• 27:53
  So the Savant team can only do one
• 27:55
  of the two.
• 27:56
  So now Wilson is left with how is
• 27:59
  he going to stream this if it is
• 28:01
  even possible?
• 28:03
  So I know a lot of competitions are
• 28:05
  talking about that they're not going to be
• 28:07
  able to do streaming of an event anymore.
• 28:11
  And they're going to do packaged
• 28:14
  highlights of the day and put them out
• 28:18
  as quickly as possible.
• 28:22
  I think we've been spoiled for a long
• 28:24
  time because Greg Glassman opened the
• 28:26
  checkbook or Reebok opened the checkbook
• 28:29
  for many years.
• 28:30
  And we had streams of everything.
• 28:33
  And it was a high quality stream that
• 28:35
  we did not have to pay for.
• 28:37
  And now anytime you put anything behind a
• 28:40
  paywall, people like flip the hell out.
• 28:45
  But the truth of the matter is it's
• 28:46
  too expensive for these competitions to
• 28:49
  fund it on their own.
• 28:51
  And I think that we are getting to
• 28:53
  a point where either you're going to have
• 28:56
  to put it behind a paywall to recoup
• 29:00
  as much money as you can for the
• 29:02
  streams,
• 29:04
  or you're going to get prepackaged,
• 29:06
  post-packaged little documentaries or
• 29:11
  whatever of highlighting the events.
• 29:16
  What are your thoughts?
• 29:21
  I think everybody after,
• 29:24
  was it Floy Lee that did it behind
• 29:27
  the paywall first?
• 29:28
  And it was terrible.
• 29:30
  It was terrible.
• 29:31
  Right.
• 29:32
  It was absolutely terrible.
• 29:33
  And I think even now that's been, what,
• 29:37
  six, seven years now,
• 29:38
  if not longer than that,
• 29:40
  it left a bad taste in anybody's mouth
• 29:42
  to have anything behind a paywall,
• 29:45
  which is why people are trying to look
• 29:46
  at it and trying to find cheaper options
• 29:48
  out there to do it.
• 29:51
  I don't understand why everybody,
• 29:54
  not why it costs so much,
• 29:56
  but why everybody just keeps going back to
• 29:57
  the same people.
• 29:59
  It's Hamilton Road, it's Hamilton Road,
• 30:00
  it's Hamilton Road.
• 30:01
  It's the only people that anybody seems to
• 30:02
  know how to use.
• 30:03
  I would think there'd be other options out
• 30:05
  there that could do something.
• 30:09
  slightly less expensive.
• 30:10
  What Savannah did last year was insane,
• 30:14
  given the resources that they had.
• 30:18
  They lost money.
• 30:19
  They absolutely did.
• 30:20
  Sousa was way up there.
• 30:22
  It was very,
• 30:22
  very upfront about the fact that, yeah,
• 30:24
  if they would have charged for it,
• 30:28
  how much it would have cost, et cetera,
• 30:30
  et cetera, et cetera.
• 30:31
  But I just think that there's got to
• 30:33
  be a better option.
• 30:37
  than trying to put it behind a paywall
• 30:39
  because people just, they get turned off.
• 30:40
  They're like, I'm not spending.
• 30:42
  Twenty bucks to watch this for the entire
• 30:44
  weekend.
• 30:45
  Um, when you,
• 30:47
  especially not knowing what the quality is
• 30:48
  going to look like beforehand.
• 30:52
  Here's my thing.
• 30:52
  And I've said this about a lot of
• 30:54
  things and why I,
• 30:56
  I subscribed to a couple of channels to
• 30:57
  support the people that do podcasts in
• 30:59
  this space.
• 31:00
  Right.
• 31:01
  Um,
• 31:01
  because like we do this for free for
• 31:05
  most of the, most of it, right.
• 31:10
  If I go to a movie,
• 31:11
  I don't get to go in for free
• 31:13
  and just watch the movie.
• 31:15
  Like I have to pay admission for that
• 31:16
  entertainment.
• 31:18
  If you're watching a CrossFit event,
• 31:20
  you're doing it because it's entertainment
• 31:22
  to you.
• 31:23
  Whether you like to hang out in the
• 31:24
  chat,
• 31:25
  whether you like to watch the event or
• 31:27
  whatever you want to do, right?
• 31:30
  So to expect it to be free all
• 31:32
  the time,
• 31:33
  we just were spoiled for too long.
• 31:37
  Right.
• 31:39
  As Sousa said in that crash behind the
• 31:41
  scenes,
• 31:42
  that if they were going to do it
• 31:44
  and not lose money and just break even,
• 31:48
  they would have to charge between like
• 31:49
  sixty and seventy five thousand dollars.
• 31:52
  And that would be just to break even,
• 31:55
  not even to make any money on it.
• 32:00
  Jenny says,
• 32:00
  we all paid out of our pockets to
• 32:02
  be there and provide that for free to
• 32:04
  the community while athletes refused
• 32:06
  interviews and people at home on their
• 32:07
  high horses and criticized it.
• 32:09
  Good times.
• 32:13
  I just want to spin this a little
• 32:14
  bit.
• 32:15
  Yes,
• 32:15
  there were athletes that refused
• 32:16
  interviews,
• 32:17
  but there were athletes that embraced it.
• 32:19
  And they made out big because you gave
• 32:23
  them that opportunity.
• 32:26
  We got to learn about Mason and we
• 32:29
  got to learn about Miley Wade and we
• 32:32
  got to learn about Reese Littlewood and
• 32:35
  all those people that did not turn you
• 32:36
  down, right?
• 32:38
  And the interviews were awesome.
• 32:40
  They were different than anything we've
• 32:41
  had on any other broadcast.
• 32:43
  And NorCal was post-produced,
• 32:50
  but it was fast.
• 32:52
  I don't know if anybody else is equipped
• 32:54
  to do it that fast.
• 32:56
  We can say it,
• 32:58
  but that whole team put NorCal out in
• 33:01
  like a half an hour after it was
• 33:03
  done.
• 33:05
  Sometimes fifteen minutes,
• 33:08
  which is absolutely, that's insane.
• 33:11
  That's absolutely wild.
• 33:13
  To piggyback on what you just said, Scott,
• 33:17
  to the people that refuse interviews,
• 33:22
  to hell with them.
• 33:24
  You're missing out on that point,
• 33:26
  on your chance to tell your whatever just
• 33:30
  happened story.
• 33:31
  So if you're just going to look at
• 33:32
  it and go,
• 33:33
  I'm not talking to Savant's crew, blah,
• 33:36
  blah, blah, blah, blah, whatever.
• 33:38
  Cool.
• 33:39
  Go on.
• 33:40
  We'll talk to these other people who are
• 33:42
  here and who are interested and who are
• 33:44
  invested and who want to be a part
• 33:46
  of whatever this is.
• 33:48
  If you don't want to, awesome.
• 33:50
  That's on you.
• 33:51
  Bye.
• 33:51
  Moving on.
• 33:53
  So, yeah, dude, both things.
• 33:56
  And their coverage of Crash.
• 33:57
  Their coverage of Crash was ridiculously
• 34:01
  good.
• 34:02
  Yeah.
• 34:02
  Ridiculously good.
• 34:05
  What all the things that they were able
• 34:07
  to do.
• 34:08
  I just wish that you could clone that
• 34:10
  crew to do a couple more events, right?
• 34:14
  Because now we have these events that land
• 34:15
  on the exact same weekend and you're SOL.
• 34:19
  Yeah.
• 34:23
  I love it worth every penny.
• 34:25
  Sousa is a miracle worker.
• 34:28
  Like that's the one thing I don't like.
• 34:30
  We all love this space so much.
• 34:32
  Every event I go to,
• 34:34
  it's all on my own dime.
• 34:36
  I pay for my flight.
• 34:37
  I pay for my hotel.
• 34:39
  I pay for my food.
• 34:40
  I do all of that stuff to go
• 34:43
  get interviews with athletes,
• 34:45
  to do documentaries behind the scenes,
• 34:48
  to do all this stuff.
• 34:49
  I don't get paid for anything.
• 34:50
  I do it because I love it.
• 34:51
  Right.
• 34:53
  just like Jenny, just like Sousa,
• 34:54
  just like Siobhan, just like Caleb.
• 34:57
  They all go do that because they just
• 34:59
  love it.
• 34:59
  They love hanging out together.
• 35:01
  They love putting on a show.
• 35:04
  That's why we all go.
• 35:06
  And then we've created this other
• 35:08
  community that I just like going hanging
• 35:09
  out with people.
• 35:11
  Yeah.
• 35:13
  I would love to,
• 35:14
  if I would have had the time,
• 35:16
  I would love to go out there and
• 35:17
  help them with that.
• 35:19
  Right?
• 35:19
  Because I'm sure it's a kick in the
• 35:22
  ass.
• 35:23
  Right?
• 35:23
  Everybody's working,
• 35:24
  but none of them are taking it seriously.
• 35:27
  But they're not taking each other
• 35:28
  seriously, if that makes sense.
• 35:29
  They're taking their job seriously,
• 35:30
  but you know everybody's messing with
• 35:31
  everybody the entire weekend.
• 35:34
  They're exhausted.
• 35:35
  They're laughing the entire time,
• 35:37
  and they're putting out a ridiculous
• 35:39
  quality product because they want to be
• 35:41
  there.
• 35:42
  You're not going to get that kind of
• 35:45
  stuff.
• 35:45
  I say that.
• 35:47
  It would be more difficult to get that
• 35:48
  kind of stuff from people that you're
• 35:50
  actually paying if that's all,
• 35:51
  the only reason that they're there is to
• 35:53
  get paid.
• 35:55
  Every single person that was on that crew
• 35:57
  was there because they love what they do
• 35:58
  and they love being able to put that
• 36:00
  kind of stuff out there into the world.
• 36:03
  People would drop thirty dollars on a
• 36:04
  Tyson fight knowing it might only last
• 36:06
  sixty seconds.
• 36:08
  Paying five to ten dollars for a weekend
• 36:09
  live stream should be nothing for people.
• 36:12
  Listen,
• 36:13
  Rogue does a paywall that gets you extra.
• 36:15
  And they didn't even do that this year.
• 36:17
  Two years prior,
• 36:18
  they did a paywall for twenty five bucks
• 36:20
  that gave you control of the camera.
• 36:23
  Like wild shit that we've never even seen
• 36:25
  before.
• 36:26
  I paid it every year and it was
• 36:28
  so worth it.
• 36:29
  And I felt like I was helping out.
• 36:32
  Rogue for putting on this great show.
• 36:34
  I get a weekend of entertainment because
• 36:36
  of what you've put out there.
• 36:39
  The least I can do is pay twenty
• 36:40
  five bucks to watch it.
• 36:48
  Got a new member, Mark Phillips.
• 36:51
  Nice.
• 36:52
  Thank you very, very much, man.
• 36:59
  Vicky live.
• 37:01
  Tickets.
• 37:02
  Tickets are going to probably be four
• 37:03
  hundred bucks again.
• 37:04
  Paying fifty for the weekend should be
• 37:06
  nothing.
• 37:08
  True.
• 37:10
  Thank you, Mark.
• 37:10
  Thank you again.
• 37:11
  I really, really appreciate it.
• 37:14
  Five percent.
• 37:16
  Well,
• 37:16
  if they do decide to live stream it
• 37:18
  and put it behind the paywall,
• 37:20
  I will be the first person to sign
• 37:21
  up for it because I want to see
• 37:22
  what happens.
• 37:24
  Well,
• 37:25
  and there are some comps that have the
• 37:30
  have the glitz and glam around it that
• 37:34
  you will pay for.
• 37:35
  Like I will pay for a mayhem.
• 37:37
  I'll pay for a NorCal cause it's the
• 37:39
  train wreck that everybody just wants to
• 37:41
  see.
• 37:42
  Right.
• 37:42
  I'll pay for them cause it's this classic
• 37:45
  awesome event put on by the goat of
• 37:47
  the, of the space.
• 37:49
  I'll watch syndicate crown cause I'm a
• 37:51
  huge fan of Wilson Park and I will
• 37:54
  support anything he's behind.
• 37:56
  Like those three things I'll pay for every
• 37:58
  single year.
• 38:00
  if I can't go in person.
• 38:03
  Right.
• 38:04
  I would say this year,
• 38:06
  as much crap as we've been given to
• 38:08
  Legends people,
• 38:08
  just the fact that they're in Del Mar,
• 38:10
  if they put it behind,
• 38:12
  people are going to pay to watch that.
• 38:15
  I know it's a horse barn.
• 38:18
  I just want to go see it because
• 38:20
  all the videos I watched early on when
• 38:23
  I started CrossFit and all the big stars
• 38:26
  that were at Del Mar in the California
• 38:28
  region doing their thing,
• 38:30
  I just want to see it one time,
• 38:33
  right?
• 38:34
  Yeah.
• 38:35
  Nostalgia.
• 38:39
  I used to think Wilson Pac was the
• 38:42
  rapper every time they talked about him
• 38:43
  until I met him.
• 38:45
  Yeah, and he is far from a rapper.
• 38:50
  He's just one of the coolest dudes.
• 38:52
  I can't believe he lives up the street
• 38:53
  from me now.
• 38:55
  I can't believe.
• 38:56
  It's so awesome.
• 38:57
  I want to reach out to him and
• 38:58
  see if there's anything I can do to
• 39:00
  help him with the Syndicate Crown.
• 39:03
  And maybe I'll do that this weekend.
• 39:09
  I just have all that shit happening next
• 39:10
  week and I just need to get through
• 39:12
  that.
• 39:13
  So, well guys,
• 39:15
  it is nine minutes till I have to
• 39:17
  be in a meeting.
• 39:19
  So guys,
• 39:23
  if I could just share with you the
• 39:24
  shit I've gone through in the last two
• 39:26
  days, I just can't, uh, maybe later,
• 39:30
  but Oh my gosh.
• 39:36
  Uh, Craig,
• 39:38
  I will pay for those plus French,
• 39:39
  French throw down and Torian.
• 39:41
  Yeah.
• 39:41
  I mean,
• 39:42
  I'd pay for a lot of them.
• 39:43
  I'll be honest.
• 39:43
  I just hope my, my wife isn't watching.
• 39:50
  Uh, Claire says great show.
• 39:51
  Thank you.
• 39:52
  Thanks.
• 39:54
  She said such nice,
• 39:55
  nice things about our whole crew the other
• 39:57
  night on their show.
• 39:59
  I really appreciate Claire and John for
• 40:01
  saying those things.
• 40:02
  It was really nice.
• 40:05
  Yes, meetings just suck.
• 40:07
  Boo to meetings.
• 40:10
  If it's anything like my government job,
• 40:12
  I feel your pain.
• 40:13
  I am sure it's everything like your
• 40:15
  government job, Vicky.
• 40:17
  Everything.
• 40:19
  All right, guys.
• 40:19
  With that,
• 40:20
  I'm going to head out of here.
• 40:22
  I will catch you all tomorrow.
• 40:23
  We'll find some fun stuff to talk about.
• 40:26
  Let's do it then.
• 40:28
  Bye, guys.
