Thursday Night CrossFit Talk - Full Review of Danielle Brandon Documentary · Clydesdale Media Podcast

• 0:28
  what is going on everybody
• 0:30
  welcome to thursday night
• 0:31
  crossfit talk and we have
• 0:34
  technical issues right off
• 0:35
  the top oh everywhere yeah
• 0:39
  so we stream to twitch we
• 0:41
  stream to twitter we stream
• 0:43
  for facebook and we stream
• 0:44
  to youtube and as I launch
• 0:46
  tonight's broadcast twitch
• 0:49
  is having issues
• 0:51
  And so I had to like clear
• 0:53
  out some stuff there and
• 0:55
  remove us from Twitch for this broadcast.
• 0:59
  So no Twitch tonight.
• 1:03
  And we deeply apologize for
• 1:05
  the versus show buffering so much.
• 1:08
  We tried something different
• 1:10
  this week to see if we
• 1:10
  could get that figured out.
• 1:13
  Didn't work.
• 1:14
  We're going to keep trying,
• 1:15
  and I'm going to reach out
• 1:16
  to StreamYard to see what's
• 1:19
  going on with it.
• 1:19
  Because we have done this
• 1:22
  type of broadcast before,
• 1:23
  and it's never buffered.
• 1:25
  It's just started doing this
• 1:27
  with the Versa series for some reason.
• 1:32
  So all fun technical stuff.
• 1:36
  I thought when I was in my
• 1:38
  20s I would always be
• 1:38
  technologically savvy,
• 1:41
  and I've learned that I'm not anymore.
• 1:45
  Yeah, I'm not.
• 1:47
  Yeah.
• 1:47
  I know how to plug in microphones now.
• 1:52
  That's about it.
• 1:54
  Yeah.
• 1:55
  So how was everybody's week?
• 1:58
  Oh, great.
• 2:02
  That was good for me.
• 2:04
  I mean, that was a short week for school.
• 2:05
  We have this Friday, yes, or tomorrow and
• 2:10
  monday off so I drove home
• 2:11
  to sarnia which is my
• 2:12
  hometown right after school
• 2:14
  today so I'm home thanks
• 2:17
  and you have a big family
• 2:18
  right and are they all in
• 2:20
  for the weekend uh they
• 2:22
  will be uh my my one sister
• 2:25
  is missing she'll be here
• 2:27
  uh saturday I think is your
• 2:30
  twin there yes I saw her today
• 2:33
  okay um you also had a good
• 2:36
  week because you got the
• 2:38
  official video verified
• 2:41
  what was that process like
• 2:42
  did you just get an email
• 2:43
  saying congratulations
• 2:45
  you're you're good um
• 2:49
  Yeah,
• 2:49
  essentially the email that I posted
• 2:51
  on my story was the email
• 2:53
  from Becky from CrossFit
• 2:56
  that sent us that.
• 2:57
  But like none of the videos
• 2:59
  got like individually
• 3:00
  verified like we get at quarterfinals.
• 3:03
  It was just that email that
• 3:04
  confirmed my placement.
• 3:06
  And then I went to the
• 3:07
  leaderboard to see if
• 3:08
  anything had changed in my
• 3:09
  numbers and none of my
• 3:10
  scores had changed.
• 3:11
  I'm like, okay, I'm good.
• 3:12
  And then when I did that right away,
• 3:14
  I had noticed the change at
• 3:16
  the top and I was like, oh,
• 3:17
  someone got a,
• 3:18
  penalty and then knew right
• 3:20
  away um like what we're
• 3:23
  going so uh she won 2500 us
• 3:27
  dollars equal spousal split
• 3:31
  sounds legit she also she
• 3:35
  also told me about equal
• 3:36
  spouse um split when she
• 3:39
  paid for coast and cali's
• 3:40
  uh vaccines today or yesterday sorry
• 3:46
  So the only bright side for
• 3:48
  Carolyn is when you convert
• 3:50
  that to Canadian,
• 3:50
  you're actually making more.
• 3:52
  It'll end up being the same
• 3:54
  because we'll get like 30%
• 3:57
  withhold and stuff like that.
• 3:59
  So normally it's going to be
• 4:01
  like 3,500 American,
• 4:02
  which comes back to around
• 4:03
  5,000 Canadian.
• 4:06
  Okay.
• 4:09
  Yeah, 30%.
• 4:09
  Dang.
• 4:11
  Yeah, they always hold that.
• 4:12
  Oh, yeah.
• 4:15
  That's not just a Canadian thing.
• 4:17
  No.
• 4:20
  So any plans for it or just
• 4:23
  put it away to pay for your season?
• 4:25
  No, I'm just saving up for Lex and I,
• 4:30
  family stuff, future plans,
• 4:33
  maybe eventually a house or something,
• 4:35
  but just saving up.
• 4:39
  Very cool.
• 4:41
  I'm not a big spender.
• 4:45
  workout clothes shoes can't
• 4:47
  justify that stuff anymore
• 4:48
  like I have too much yeah
• 4:51
  and you're like are you
• 4:53
  still sponsored by tier or
• 4:54
  was that a one season yeah
• 4:56
  so that technically ended
• 4:58
  um middle of march I had
• 5:00
  like a one-year contract
• 5:01
  and then um so that ended
• 5:04
  and then I would I didn't
• 5:05
  get extended technically
• 5:07
  but I mean I'll still be
• 5:08
  wearing tier like I like
• 5:10
  their stuff um that won't change
• 5:13
  So hopefully I can get back onto it.
• 5:15
  They said like, if I make,
• 5:17
  let's say the games or
• 5:18
  something like they would
• 5:18
  do another type of possible
• 5:22
  deal or something like they
• 5:23
  do to some of the athletes
• 5:25
  at certain competitions.
• 5:26
  So hoping to get that again,
• 5:28
  because it was a really good partnership.
• 5:29
  It helped me a lot
• 5:30
  throughout my season for
• 5:31
  some of the expenses.
• 5:33
  So I was bummed that I
• 5:36
  wasn't able to resign something, but like,
• 5:38
  I also don't have like an
• 5:39
  agent and stuff like that
• 5:40
  working to help me
• 5:42
  some of the other athletes
• 5:42
  do so um I guess lex counts
• 5:46
  sometime as my my agent but
• 5:50
  with less experience than
• 5:52
  some of the ones out there
• 5:53
  and she takes 50 split
• 5:55
  instead of yeah that's a
• 5:56
  hard that's a hard taxing
• 5:59
  right there lex I don't
• 6:01
  know about this agent now
• 6:03
  might need a new one might
• 6:03
  fire her yeah we gotta let
• 6:06
  them know you're on the the
• 6:07
  original thursday night crossfit podcast
• 6:12
  As Kenneth likes to always say,
• 6:13
  be original.
• 6:17
  Yeah, and you've placed fifth in the Open,
• 6:20
  and you've been on around the whiteboard.
• 6:22
  Like,
• 6:22
  you've probably had more exposure
• 6:25
  this season overall
• 6:28
  media-wise than you have in
• 6:30
  a couple years.
• 6:34
  Yeah, maybe a little bit.
• 6:36
  I mean, yeah, the Open helps,
• 6:38
  around the whiteboard helps.
• 6:39
  I mean,
• 6:39
  the demo team last year was still a big –
• 6:42
  um, opportunity.
• 6:43
  I think that was really big.
• 6:45
  I really, I really enjoyed that.
• 6:46
  Hopefully I don't have to
• 6:48
  get to that point this year,
• 6:49
  but it was really a cool experience.
• 6:52
  Yeah, we are.
• 6:54
  We're, we're all speeds ahead games,
• 6:57
  athlete, not demo athlete.
• 6:59
  That's the plan.
• 7:00
  Yeah.
• 7:02
  Did you fill out your top 25?
• 7:05
  Me?
• 7:06
  Yeah.
• 7:07
  Yeah.
• 7:08
  I did it today.
• 7:09
  It came this time.
• 7:11
  You guys have to do one at
• 7:13
  the end of each month for
• 7:14
  the beginning of the following month?
• 7:16
  Off-season was just kind of sporadic,
• 7:18
  but it looks like now it's
• 7:19
  every month now that the
• 7:22
  Open has started.
• 7:26
  Let's hope it's better than the last time.
• 7:28
  The last time I was in the hospital,
• 7:30
  so I missed submitting my ballot,
• 7:33
  but they had people like
• 7:37
  mal on the top 10 and people
• 7:40
  that are not even competing
• 7:41
  yeah there's like eight
• 7:43
  nine people on there like
• 7:44
  you can't even like create
• 7:45
  a full list with like it's
• 7:48
  it's not good yeah I had to
• 7:50
  write in like four people personally
• 7:54
  So see,
• 7:55
  I and I actually this time took
• 7:57
  pictures of my ballot so I
• 7:59
  could actually remember the
• 8:01
  exact order of where I put people.
• 8:03
  Well,
• 8:04
  and last year they released like
• 8:07
  every media person's picks,
• 8:11
  but he didn't do that this time around.
• 8:13
  So he only did that one time.
• 8:16
  Oh, OK.
• 8:17
  Was that the end of the season?
• 8:18
  I think it's right before the games.
• 8:20
  That's OK.
• 8:21
  Yeah, I think I don't know.
• 8:22
  I think.
• 8:23
  I think it all depends on
• 8:24
  how busy he is and how much
• 8:26
  he can put together.
• 8:26
  Um, but, uh, but yeah.
• 8:32
  Um, so mine's in, um,
• 8:35
  I've been pretty blatant
• 8:37
  about who I think is going
• 8:38
  to win the games on both sides.
• 8:41
  So that's who I went with.
• 8:44
  So I have Emma Lawson on the
• 8:45
  women's side and Jeff Adler on the,
• 8:48
  on the men's side to stick
• 8:50
  with the all Canadian podcast here.
• 8:52
  I think those are very good picks.
• 8:57
  So yeah, my,
• 8:58
  my women's is a little controversial.
• 9:00
  I'm sure it's Emma, Laura, Tia.
• 9:06
  I actually think mine might
• 9:07
  be the exact same.
• 9:09
  It either is Laura, Emma, Tia,
• 9:11
  or the same as yours.
• 9:13
  I'll have to look at my screenshot.
• 9:15
  There's just a lot of
• 9:16
  unknown right now with Tia's wrist.
• 9:19
  Yeah.
• 9:20
  I almost moved her down
• 9:21
  because of the wrist.
• 9:22
  I know.
• 9:23
  We do them every month, so... Yeah.
• 9:26
  You know, if we find out it's okay,
• 9:27
  I can move her back up, but... Right.
• 9:30
  But she has to get into that e-semi,
• 9:32
  and...
• 9:34
  that's not going to be an
• 9:35
  easy feat if you're not a
• 9:36
  hundred percent.
• 9:37
  Nope.
• 9:40
  And it's been how long it's
• 9:41
  been two months like that.
• 9:42
  Like that's,
• 9:43
  it's not just like arthritis stuff here.
• 9:45
  Like,
• 9:46
  I don't know what that is that she has,
• 9:47
  but it seems like there was
• 9:49
  a fracture or something to me.
• 9:51
  So have you been like
• 9:53
  following the progress stuff?
• 9:56
  I saw one video about it, but not much.
• 9:59
  Something about the frog
• 10:00
  grips and the stickiness or
• 10:02
  something like that.
• 10:04
  When the wrist is really thick,
• 10:07
  the wrap around the wrist.
• 10:09
  Yeah, it's yeah, a little bit.
• 10:12
  It's more almost like it's just grip lock.
• 10:14
  I mean,
• 10:15
  either they're so tacky that it's
• 10:17
  but or it's so long that
• 10:18
  it's getting grip lock and getting stuck.
• 10:20
  But the way the one day when she was like,
• 10:24
  like,
• 10:24
  I think either at the moment or whatever,
• 10:25
  the way she like pointed at
• 10:26
  what was going on, it looked like.
• 10:30
  the people that have posted
• 10:31
  like their injuries from the grips.
• 10:33
  So I'm like, I don't know.
• 10:36
  I'm very curious what
• 10:37
  actually is going on.
• 10:38
  Well, she's been used.
• 10:39
  She was using the bear
• 10:40
  complex for many years.
• 10:41
  Cause I remember I was like, Oh,
• 10:43
  who's good at CrossFit.
• 10:44
  Oh, they're wearing bear comics.
• 10:45
  I'm going to order bear.
• 10:46
  Like that's, you know,
• 10:47
  you just look at who are
• 10:48
  the top athletes and what
• 10:49
  they're wearing.
• 10:50
  She's always been wearing bear comics.
• 10:51
  So when you switch,
• 10:52
  like you notice those difference,
• 10:53
  if it's hitting your wrist
• 10:54
  a little bit different,
• 10:55
  especially if you said it's thicker here.
• 10:57
  So as you're doing bar muscle ups,
• 10:58
  that might be putting
• 10:59
  pressure somewhere different.
• 11:02
  Yeah.
• 11:03
  Yeah.
• 11:03
  Colton switched to him too.
• 11:05
  I did see that.
• 11:07
  So, yeah, I mean,
• 11:09
  I've heard they're like super tacky,
• 11:11
  but maybe they're too tacky.
• 11:14
  There's this one company that I tried.
• 11:17
  They're like basketball material.
• 11:20
  I don't know if that's like
• 11:20
  the frog grips or not,
• 11:22
  but Lex uses them now.
• 11:23
  They're so grippy.
• 11:25
  I never had any grips like that.
• 11:27
  But you can't have like,
• 11:28
  it doesn't help to have chalk on the bar.
• 11:31
  So like I didn't want to get
• 11:32
  used to them because I know
• 11:33
  at comp there's going to be
• 11:34
  chalk on the bar.
• 11:35
  Mm-hmm.
• 11:38
  Not that I'm like a gymnast by any means,
• 11:40
  but I have the Element 26
• 11:44
  chockless grips.
• 11:46
  And for me, it just works best.
• 11:48
  Even just doing hanging knees raises,
• 11:50
  being a big guy,
• 11:51
  it just gives me that
• 11:52
  little extra grip so I can
• 11:54
  string together more than I could before.
• 11:58
  So I really like those.
• 12:01
  And I don't like to chalk.
• 12:03
  Like I don't chalk when I lift.
• 12:04
  I don't.
• 12:07
  So that's just me.
• 12:08
  I do.
• 12:09
  I like the break.
• 12:10
  Yeah, you're saving a rest break.
• 12:12
  I like the fun ways to break.
• 12:14
  I can tighten those collars.
• 12:16
  I can adjust my wrist straps, whatever.
• 12:21
  I don't need chalk.
• 12:24
  Lex says,
• 12:26
  games bound for Scott and games
• 12:27
  bound for Jamie and Carol.
• 12:31
  Because she said, how's the gym been?
• 12:33
  Yeah.
• 12:34
  How's the gym been?
• 12:34
  So this week has been much better.
• 12:36
  I'm way less sore.
• 12:38
  I still feel pretty weak.
• 12:42
  And today was horrible.
• 12:44
  What was today?
• 12:45
  There was no rest.
• 12:46
  So it was the ghost.
• 12:48
  Oh, I love that one.
• 12:50
  Not.
• 12:50
  There's too many double unders.
• 12:53
  Right.
• 12:53
  Well,
• 12:53
  it's a great workout to work on
• 12:55
  double unders.
• 12:56
  Because it's basically FICO and Bad Style,
• 13:00
  row cows, burpees, double-unders,
• 13:05
  minute rest for eight rounds.
• 13:10
  So you're doing
• 13:11
  double-unders under fatigue.
• 13:14
  But my engine is so bad,
• 13:16
  by the time I got to the double-unders,
• 13:18
  like I was sucking air so hard.
• 13:21
  Like it just was rough.
• 13:23
  It's a hard workout.
• 13:24
  Yeah.
• 13:25
  It is, especially those last four rounds.
• 13:29
  We program it at our gym
• 13:31
  normally like Halloween or
• 13:34
  at least another time in the year.
• 13:35
  It's like our affiliate
• 13:36
  owner's favorite workout as well.
• 13:39
  If you want an engine workout,
• 13:43
  it's the one.
• 13:45
  And that's what Thursdays are at Polaris.
• 13:48
  Every Thursday is like a
• 13:50
  longer engine type workout.
• 13:56
  kind of a Christie specialty
• 13:58
  is like what we like to call it.
• 14:01
  So, but yeah, it, it was bad, but I,
• 14:05
  but I do feel better this week.
• 14:07
  Like my legs aren't,
• 14:09
  I actually put weight on my
• 14:10
  back for back squats this week.
• 14:12
  Um,
• 14:13
  and I wasn't as sore as air squats a
• 14:15
  week before.
• 14:16
  That's good.
• 14:17
  So it was only 95 pounds.
• 14:21
  And it's funny because, um,
• 14:24
  Like,
• 14:24
  I logged it in Wattify that I checked
• 14:28
  my ego, and Christy actually commented.
• 14:31
  Because I have not seen
• 14:33
  Christy since I've been back.
• 14:34
  Because she's been off to Houston,
• 14:36
  doing all that kind of stuff.
• 14:38
  But she actually gave me a
• 14:40
  big thumbs up for checking my ego.
• 14:43
  And that's just where I am right now.
• 14:46
  Nothing wrong with that.
• 14:47
  And just got to get stronger.
• 14:49
  Just consistency,
• 14:50
  and then it starts going up.
• 14:52
  Yeah.
• 14:53
  Like again,
• 14:54
  big improvement from last week
• 14:55
  to this week.
• 14:57
  I'm just got to stay the course.
• 14:59
  Listen to my body.
• 15:00
  The one thing I found that I
• 15:01
  could not do is lay on my
• 15:02
  back under fatigue.
• 15:04
  That's still, it's not real good for me.
• 15:07
  What happens?
• 15:08
  I just can't breathe.
• 15:09
  Okay.
• 15:11
  So like we did bench press
• 15:12
  on Monday as part of the workout.
• 15:15
  And when I laid back on the
• 15:16
  bench under fatigue, could not breathe.
• 15:21
  warmup could rip out bench press.
• 15:24
  So it, I don't know.
• 15:26
  Cause that's what,
• 15:27
  like that's what a fib
• 15:28
  affected the most was my lungs.
• 15:31
  And there was like a backup
• 15:33
  of blood in the heart and lungs.
• 15:35
  So I think that just hasn't
• 15:36
  fully flushed out yet, but, but I just,
• 15:43
  so I just did sitting a strict press.
• 15:49
  So I could just keep moving,
• 15:51
  same or similar stimulus,
• 15:55
  and just kept moving.
• 15:58
  So do we want to get into
• 16:01
  the news of the week?
• 16:03
  Yeah, let's hit it.
• 16:04
  We've already hit the
• 16:05
  Carolyn Fifth in the Open official.
• 16:09
  Hooray.
• 16:10
  Yay.
• 16:11
  That's so cool.
• 16:14
  Crushed it, dude.
• 16:16
  Then we're going to talk
• 16:17
  about Grace Walton.
• 16:20
  And when I talk about this,
• 16:22
  I want to talk about it in my view,
• 16:24
  more overarching.
• 16:25
  So Grace had a video.
• 16:29
  It was looked at.
• 16:30
  She was in first place going
• 16:31
  into video submission.
• 16:34
  CrossFit looked at it,
• 16:35
  said in two of her muscle-up reps,
• 16:38
  her feet rose above the bar height,
• 16:42
  making them bad reps.
• 16:44
  Gave her a 12-second penalty.
• 16:47
  which dropped her from first
• 16:48
  in the open to second in the open,
• 16:51
  and basically costing her $5,000.
• 16:53
  So I have a lot of thoughts about this,
• 16:59
  but I want to open it to you guys first.
• 17:03
  So your initial thoughts,
• 17:05
  the video's out there.
• 17:06
  I'm going to play it as you guys talk,
• 17:10
  and I want to hear your reaction to that.
• 17:20
  I like when I first watched her video,
• 17:23
  like on the games website,
• 17:26
  like I was normally, I just looked at,
• 17:28
  like, I won't even watch the whole video.
• 17:30
  I'll watch the beginning of it.
• 17:32
  Sometimes just,
• 17:33
  I want to see just people move.
• 17:35
  And I was like, Oh, she moves.
• 17:36
  Well, it looks legit.
• 17:37
  Like it's, it's good.
• 17:38
  Right?
• 17:38
  Like you just kind of look.
• 17:39
  And then I tend to always go
• 17:41
  fast forward to the end.
• 17:43
  And then I look at the time
• 17:44
  to see whether like it was
• 17:45
  an accurate finish and
• 17:46
  whether they tried to sneak
• 17:47
  in a second or something.
• 17:48
  I don't know.
• 17:48
  Like, that's just my,
• 17:49
  my tendency.
• 17:51
  So when I first watched the video,
• 17:52
  I did notice right away
• 17:54
  that the feet were up on the last rep.
• 17:56
  And then I fast forwarded again.
• 17:58
  I was like, Oh,
• 17:58
  let me see how it is under like fatigue,
• 18:00
  whether it changed
• 18:00
  throughout the workout.
• 18:02
  And I, like,
• 18:03
  I noticed the last three of
• 18:05
  the last four reps were high,
• 18:07
  but I didn't have like a
• 18:09
  huge problem because I was like, Oh,
• 18:11
  she's legit.
• 18:11
  Like she's posted all her videos.
• 18:13
  Like she moves very well.
• 18:15
  She's fit everything.
• 18:17
  Um,
• 18:19
  It could be the angle.
• 18:21
  It does look above the bar,
• 18:23
  definitely from what I see.
• 18:27
  But it's just unfortunate
• 18:29
  because if you look at her original score,
• 18:32
  like it was like 930 or
• 18:34
  something like that.
• 18:35
  And if they're not looking at,
• 18:38
  so now it's like a 942 and
• 18:40
  there's a bunch of people
• 18:41
  in that like 930 range, like maybe like,
• 18:43
  I don't know, seven to 10.
• 18:45
  But if they're not looking
• 18:46
  at those videos as well,
• 18:49
  that's the issue because
• 18:50
  maybe some of those people
• 18:52
  would have their feet up a
• 18:53
  little bit and then she can
• 18:54
  still stay at in first place.
• 18:58
  Right.
• 18:58
  Like if you're only looking at those ones.
• 19:02
  Yeah.
• 19:03
  It's just, it's unfortunate for her.
• 19:05
  It's kind of like,
• 19:06
  what's this like that one, right.
• 19:07
  That's above.
• 19:10
  That's good.
• 19:10
  The one foot maybe.
• 19:14
  And then wait, not that one.
• 19:20
  Yeah, that one was.
• 19:22
  Yeah.
• 19:24
  And I think she has two more
• 19:25
  left or three more left.
• 19:27
  So that one's the one that I
• 19:28
  would say is a no rep.
• 19:30
  Just looking, I mean,
• 19:31
  from that angle anyways.
• 19:34
  This one's good.
• 19:39
  Oh,
• 19:40
  it's it's above the line of that angle.
• 19:42
  That was her over.
• 19:43
  Yep.
• 19:46
  Like it, but again,
• 19:48
  my perspective was like, oh,
• 19:49
  she moves well.
• 19:50
  Like I'm, I was fine with it.
• 19:51
  Cause I'm like, she's legit.
• 19:52
  Like she's fit.
• 19:53
  Like I had no problem with her winning.
• 19:54
  Like I was like, I was like,
• 19:56
  it's not like there was that many reps.
• 19:57
  It was like three reps.
• 19:59
  And I was like, eh, that was my,
• 20:02
  that was my initial reaction.
• 20:03
  I was like, eh, okay.
• 20:05
  Like, it's not, it wasn't like that bad.
• 20:08
  Like it's like every bar
• 20:09
  muscle up was a glide.
• 20:11
  That was right.
• 20:12
  I threw Lex's comment up
• 20:13
  there because you were saying that,
• 20:15
  Carolyn, through your argument.
• 20:17
  So I just was putting it up
• 20:18
  there as additional in your favor.
• 20:23
  Jamie, any comments?
• 20:25
  I mean, I just, for one,
• 20:26
  I don't know why they
• 20:27
  changed the wording in the
• 20:28
  rule this year.
• 20:29
  And I think that's getting a lot of talk.
• 20:33
  Like,
• 20:33
  so is it no longer any part of the
• 20:36
  foot of any,
• 20:38
  even one foot can't rise
• 20:39
  above the bar anymore?
• 20:40
  Like,
• 20:41
  that would have been pretty clear
• 20:42
  last year.
• 20:43
  Like,
• 20:43
  the way it was worded last year was
• 20:45
  if her toe would have...
• 20:47
  One toe would have popped
• 20:50
  up in front of... Higher than the bar,
• 20:52
  it's a no rep.
• 20:53
  And this one is, like, kind of subjective.
• 20:56
  They didn't do themselves
• 20:56
  any favor with the picture.
• 20:58
  Like, is it both feet and both heels?
• 21:01
  The entire foot?
• 21:02
  No idea.
• 21:02
  I...
• 21:05
  I just going off of history
• 21:07
  of the bar muscle up,
• 21:08
  like know what I think, but I, I mean,
• 21:12
  I feel like there's a little bit of, um,
• 21:15
  room for dispute there on
• 21:16
  her behalf because they
• 21:17
  went and changed the rule
• 21:19
  and showed a picture that I
• 21:20
  don't know if they can
• 21:21
  definitively say that both
• 21:22
  of her feet were heels over the bar.
• 21:26
  So I think that was maybe
• 21:28
  not in their best interest.
• 21:30
  Um,
• 21:31
  And Ken's comment here is hilarious.
• 21:33
  I hear they give less of a
• 21:35
  penalty for not submitting a video.
• 21:39
  It's, it is so, it is so unfair.
• 21:42
  Like the tutor getting his huge penalty.
• 21:47
  And you know, darn well,
• 21:49
  there are people moving way
• 21:51
  worse than this that are
• 21:53
  not getting any type of repercussion.
• 21:57
  So it's like,
• 21:58
  I totally agree with Carolyn.
• 22:00
  Like it wasn't egregious.
• 22:02
  It wasn't throughout her whole workout.
• 22:04
  Like I, we watched,
• 22:05
  I watched this original and I was like,
• 22:06
  yeah, she moves pretty well.
• 22:08
  And yeah,
• 22:08
  there's a couple there that are like
• 22:11
  little bit questionable, but man,
• 22:13
  I saw so many, you know, like you,
• 22:15
  you as a CrossFitter see it,
• 22:17
  you see those glide kips and you're like,
• 22:19
  well,
• 22:19
  that's clearly all that person can do.
• 22:21
  And that's how they're
• 22:21
  getting all these reps.
• 22:23
  Um, if she would have had an eight,
• 22:25
  10 score,
• 22:25
  it would have been probably like,
• 22:27
  even like Carolyn and I
• 22:29
  probably would both be like, man,
• 22:30
  I don't know, but it wasn't like this,
• 22:32
  like top five in the world score.
• 22:35
  Like she didn't, I don't know.
• 22:39
  My problem with it is the angle.
• 22:44
  Yeah.
• 22:44
  Right.
• 22:44
  I mean,
• 22:45
  The angle is the camera is
• 22:47
  below the bar with an up angle to her.
• 22:52
  So if you're close,
• 22:54
  it's going to look like
• 22:55
  it's over because the depth
• 22:59
  of field will have the foot
• 23:01
  larger than the bar.
• 23:02
  Therefore,
• 23:03
  it looks like it's going to be over.
• 23:06
  And from that distance,
• 23:08
  there's no way to know.
• 23:11
  so for crossfit to make
• 23:12
  these definitive penalties
• 23:15
  against her and tutor and
• 23:18
  again let the video the
• 23:19
  person that didn't even
• 23:20
  submit a video win her
• 23:23
  event it just seems like
• 23:26
  they're they're picking who
• 23:28
  they want to receive the penalty
• 23:32
  Yeah.
• 23:33
  And like Jamie said, with the feet,
• 23:34
  like they had the same type
• 23:35
  of wording last year with the V-ups,
• 23:37
  right?
• 23:37
  It was like, wasn't it feet?
• 23:39
  And it was like, what part of the foot?
• 23:40
  Like the toes were all of a
• 23:41
  sudden the feet.
• 23:42
  So on the bar muscle,
• 23:43
  are we still considering
• 23:44
  that the same thing as the
• 23:45
  last year's V-up work?
• 23:47
  I mean, the toes are part of the feet.
• 23:51
  I've always known the feet,
• 23:53
  the toes cannot go above the bar.
• 23:56
  That's how I judge people as well.
• 23:59
  And then you have to kind of
• 24:03
  give benefit of the doubt
• 24:05
  technically to a certified
• 24:06
  judge that is right there
• 24:08
  at that angle watching that.
• 24:12
  Look where he's standing.
• 24:13
  right?
• 24:14
  Like he's on the side.
• 24:15
  He is literally.
• 24:17
  So you have,
• 24:17
  you have to kind of give
• 24:18
  benefit of the doubt.
• 24:19
  If it's an unsure angle,
• 24:21
  he is literally holding onto the bar,
• 24:23
  the rig to look right where
• 24:26
  he needs to look.
• 24:28
  And we have Andrew Stan,
• 24:30
  who is a high end judge.
• 24:34
  Like it, it is close, but again, he's,
• 24:37
  he agrees with me,
• 24:38
  the angle and the distance.
• 24:40
  I don't think you call them
• 24:41
  no reps because,
• 24:42
  But CrossFit does say, if in doubt,
• 24:45
  you no rep them.
• 24:47
  Right.
• 24:48
  But they say that in this case,
• 24:51
  but they didn't... There
• 24:53
  were so many videos that
• 24:54
  didn't even get looked at.
• 24:55
  It could have affected who won the Open.
• 24:59
  Like,
• 24:59
  even if she got that 12-second penalty,
• 25:02
  she could have still won
• 25:03
  had they continued down.
• 25:06
  Between her score and her new score,
• 25:09
  if they looked at any of
• 25:10
  those girls' videos...
• 25:14
  And those girls get bumped out?
• 25:15
  What does she need for points?
• 25:17
  Not that many points, right?
• 25:18
  That she needed to... Four or something?
• 25:22
  Yeah,
• 25:23
  so she needed four people to get
• 25:24
  penalties.
• 25:25
  Well,
• 25:25
  she would have lost the tiebreaker
• 25:27
  to... Okay, so five.
• 25:29
  So five points that she would have needed.
• 25:34
  Yeah.
• 25:36
  And I think it was Lex that said in here,
• 25:39
  conspiracy theory,
• 25:40
  CrossFit didn't want her to
• 25:41
  win because she doesn't go
• 25:43
  to an affiliate.
• 25:47
  That does make sense, right?
• 25:49
  It's like,
• 25:50
  go to an affiliate where you get
• 25:51
  your certified judge.
• 25:53
  I mean,
• 25:54
  you can still have a certified
• 25:54
  judge if you're not an affiliate,
• 25:55
  but... Yeah,
• 25:58
  I kind of even like that worse.
• 26:01
  That's encouraging, the no video.
• 26:06
  I don't love that.
• 26:08
  It's always been one of my
• 26:09
  biggest things with one of
• 26:11
  my beefs with the open and
• 26:13
  CrossFit and just show up
• 26:15
  at an affiliate and
• 26:17
  any someone's in a validate your score.
• 26:19
  Like that person did not watch my video.
• 26:24
  Like,
• 26:24
  I almost feel like the judge that
• 26:26
  judged you needs a
• 26:28
  secondary approval link.
• 26:31
  Then the,
• 26:32
  the affiliate manager maybe can
• 26:33
  go through those.
• 26:34
  Maybe they have the sheets, but like,
• 26:36
  I want to know if I judged
• 26:37
  you that you didn't write
• 26:38
  1121 instead of 10, instead of 1221.
• 26:40
  Yeah.
• 26:40
  Yeah, exactly.
• 26:41
  Yeah.
• 26:46
  So like if I if you're
• 26:48
  putting me as a judge,
• 26:49
  I want to be able to click
• 26:50
  off on it and be like, yup,
• 26:51
  I did judge that.
• 26:53
  And that was their time.
• 26:54
  And that way you're not
• 26:55
  getting people just putting
• 26:57
  any judge down.
• 27:00
  And then it's just because
• 27:01
  just to say that the
• 27:02
  affiliate manager is like
• 27:05
  they are not there watching
• 27:07
  every single person go.
• 27:09
  And I bet you most of them
• 27:11
  don't keep their sheet,
• 27:12
  everyone's sheet and like
• 27:14
  confirm that what the time
• 27:15
  that they entered was correct.
• 27:16
  Because there's a ton on
• 27:17
  there that have tie break
• 27:19
  times that are inconceivable.
• 27:21
  Did the affiliate manager decline those?
• 27:23
  No, they just went through and approved.
• 27:24
  They went check, check, check, check,
• 27:25
  check, check all in.
• 27:29
  I think that's a good point though, Jamie,
• 27:31
  where it's like, you can judge someone,
• 27:33
  you can write your judge,
• 27:34
  like you can sign the scorecard,
• 27:36
  but that person's still
• 27:37
  writing in their score.
• 27:39
  in the CrossFit Games
• 27:42
  website and you don't know
• 27:43
  whether they made a mistake
• 27:45
  and then they have your name as a judge,
• 27:46
  but they could shave off a
• 27:48
  few seconds or whatever.
• 27:50
  You have no idea.
• 27:52
  So having that,
• 27:53
  you would get a
• 27:54
  notification of all the
• 27:55
  people you judged and then
• 27:56
  you would be like, yes, yes, yes, yes,
• 27:58
  or something.
• 27:59
  Could be.
• 28:01
  I mean, theoretically,
• 28:01
  that's the two pieces of the sheet,
• 28:04
  right?
• 28:04
  The affiliate manager gets
• 28:06
  the one that the judge filled out.
• 28:09
  and goes right to the
• 28:09
  affiliate manager to be able to compare,
• 28:11
  that's trusting the
• 28:14
  affiliate manager that
• 28:15
  they're going to actually look.
• 28:18
  There's just so much trust
• 28:19
  going on in these online
• 28:20
  competitions in general.
• 28:23
  Nick makes a great point.
• 28:25
  I like to pretend it's pro sports.
• 28:27
  The ref said they're good reps,
• 28:29
  not enough video evidence
• 28:30
  to overturn the call, case closed.
• 28:33
  And I like that too.
• 28:35
  Yeah.
• 28:37
  In conjunction with that,
• 28:39
  if you go to the leaderboard right now,
• 28:41
  are all three videos of all
• 28:46
  five of those athletes visible?
• 28:47
  Because if I was Grace,
• 28:50
  I would want to see all my
• 28:52
  competitors' videos as well.
• 28:55
  Yeah, for sure.
• 28:56
  But you're putting me on blast,
• 28:57
  and I don't even get to see
• 28:59
  anything else?
• 29:00
  No.
• 29:02
  everyone all if like those
• 29:03
  videos should all just go
• 29:05
  public so like when I do
• 29:07
  like uh rogue challenges
• 29:08
  for instance so you can
• 29:10
  like hide your video at
• 29:11
  first when you first submit
• 29:12
  yeah and then every time
• 29:15
  they'll always post the
• 29:16
  videos of the top five
• 29:17
  people yeah for all the
• 29:19
  challenges so like you
• 29:21
  could have put it private
• 29:22
  but now it's now it's up
• 29:23
  there if you're in the top
• 29:26
  I like that that's a good idea
• 29:28
  The other thing I think that
• 29:29
  would be a step in the
• 29:30
  right direction is if
• 29:31
  you're going to penalize someone,
• 29:33
  then you make the video
• 29:35
  public and you say,
• 29:37
  we're penalizing them for reps 33 and 28.
• 29:41
  Yep.
• 29:41
  608.
• 29:41
  It had an O rep for this.
• 29:46
  Arbitrary two.
• 29:48
  And now you go figure it out.
• 29:52
  And like with Tudor,
• 29:53
  it was just consistent, consistent,
• 29:56
  not doing it what the hell
• 29:57
  does that mean yeah and we
• 30:00
  never even saw his video to
• 30:02
  even know what it even
• 30:03
  looked like right or did we
• 30:04
  see it somewhere I i don't
• 30:07
  I never saw him doing it
• 30:08
  they just gave him like a a
• 30:10
  huge penalty a 20 percent
• 30:12
  decrease in his score and
• 30:12
  we never even saw to what
• 30:14
  angle did he have
• 30:18
  Lex says, glad Kip's are slower.
• 30:21
  This is a dumb penalty anyways.
• 30:23
  She's not shortening the rep
• 30:24
  to cheat and be faster.
• 30:29
  But in under speed,
• 30:31
  it does give her a bigger boost.
• 30:33
  It does.
• 30:33
  She would have had to come down.
• 30:35
  She maybe would have failed
• 30:36
  that rep had she not
• 30:37
  brought her feet that high.
• 30:40
  I'm not saying the penalty
• 30:42
  isn't a correct penalty for that
• 30:47
  I don't know if she should
• 30:48
  have gotten it per se in this instance,
• 30:50
  but like, I do think,
• 30:52
  I do think they need to be
• 30:53
  stricter with the glide kips either.
• 30:54
  Like they need to either
• 30:55
  figure out if they want to
• 30:56
  just allow them to
• 30:58
  and this kind of goes back with the,
• 31:00
  like the V ups or like
• 31:00
  certain movements where it's like,
• 31:02
  we're not critiquing how
• 31:03
  you're doing the movement.
• 31:04
  We're just, are you getting from, are you,
• 31:07
  if you do a snatch,
• 31:08
  are you getting from the
• 31:08
  ground to overhead?
• 31:10
  Do we allow this?
• 31:12
  Cause they sure do.
• 31:13
  And 55 plus go watch any
• 31:16
  older person snatch.
• 31:18
  So like,
• 31:19
  if you aren't critiquing the movement,
• 31:21
  then is it just get from
• 31:22
  point A to point B,
• 31:25
  then maybe we need to like
• 31:26
  reconsider how we're,
• 31:28
  And this is what sucks to my opinion,
• 31:31
  the rules there,
• 31:33
  because it's obvious Gracie
• 31:35
  was not trying to cheat the system.
• 31:38
  No, if she did it illegally,
• 31:40
  it was inadvertent.
• 31:42
  And just the course of her
• 31:43
  trying to complete the workout.
• 31:46
  But you do have those people
• 31:47
  out there that will glide,
• 31:49
  get the hell out of these
• 31:51
  to get all of their muscle ups, right?
• 31:54
  Yes.
• 31:55
  You don't want them
• 31:57
  affecting the leaderboard.
• 31:59
  Right.
• 32:00
  Right.
• 32:01
  But then we get to that line of like,
• 32:05
  is it good?
• 32:05
  Is it bad?
• 32:06
  And right when you're right at that line,
• 32:07
  it's,
• 32:09
  It makes it rough,
• 32:10
  and that's where CrossFit
• 32:11
  has been so behind the
• 32:13
  curtain about their
• 32:16
  decisions and what they do
• 32:18
  that it just leads you to
• 32:19
  believe they're not doing
• 32:22
  it in the best interest of the athletes.
• 32:28
  Agreed.
• 32:29
  I mean, yeah,
• 32:31
  I think it needs to be more –
• 32:34
  more clear cut.
• 32:35
  They need to be more
• 32:36
  transparent if they want it
• 32:38
  to trickle down the correct way.
• 32:40
  Um, and then they aren't.
• 32:44
  Yeah.
• 32:44
  I'm just asking for transparency.
• 32:48
  Just tell me what reps.
• 32:50
  You only had 10 people to look at.
• 32:53
  You could tell me what reps you don't.
• 32:56
  Because you know like Boz is
• 32:59
  sitting there going,
• 33:00
  check mark on that one, X on this one.
• 33:04
  And he could tell you 33 and 28.
• 33:05
  They would have had to have
• 33:09
  had multiple judges overturn that.
• 33:12
  They're not just going to go
• 33:13
  off one judge.
• 33:14
  Well, do we know that?
• 33:15
  Is that the rule?
• 33:17
  Normally, yeah.
• 33:18
  I would say, yeah.
• 33:19
  I think they said that
• 33:20
  multiple judges would review.
• 33:22
  Dave Eubanks, I think,
• 33:23
  on a podcast before said
• 33:25
  that one person will review it,
• 33:27
  then it goes to the team
• 33:28
  where then they kind of
• 33:29
  make a decision or something like that.
• 33:30
  So I know that's at his
• 33:32
  quarterfinals and on.
• 33:33
  Because that's when the team
• 33:36
  that they've hired starts
• 33:38
  at quarterfinals.
• 33:40
  then that team is like the
• 33:41
  first level they make
• 33:43
  recommendations up then the
• 33:44
  next level finishes them
• 33:46
  off none of that has been
• 33:47
  said for the open there is
• 33:50
  no team reviewing this
• 33:51
  initially other than the
• 33:53
  main crossfit hq I would
• 33:58
  assume more than one person
• 33:59
  looked at it and they
• 33:59
  agreed I mean I i can't
• 34:01
  imagine one person made
• 34:02
  this decision I was like nope
• 34:05
  I mean, I would,
• 34:06
  if I was going to make that final call,
• 34:07
  I'd be like, hey, anyone else agree,
• 34:10
  disagree?
• 34:13
  Wadzami here says, if we're trusting Emily,
• 34:15
  Klaus, Judge, why not Gracie's?
• 34:17
  Well, that goes, and Lex says,
• 34:20
  because Grace is not at an affiliate.
• 34:23
  So we just,
• 34:23
  we give all trust to affiliates.
• 34:26
  We're trusting Emily.
• 34:28
  We don't care about Emily's
• 34:29
  because she now just
• 34:31
  doesn't get the money.
• 34:32
  These ones were for money.
• 34:38
  She could have maybe kept her first place,
• 34:39
  but then just doesn't get money.
• 34:43
  All right.
• 34:44
  If she doesn't send her video.
• 34:47
  As long as CrossFit exists,
• 34:49
  we'll have these questions.
• 34:51
  Just like in the NFL,
• 34:52
  everybody rips the referees.
• 34:56
  I think it happened,
• 34:58
  but wasn't everybody upset
• 34:59
  the other night at the
• 35:00
  officiating and the Iowa game, Carolyn?
• 35:04
  That Caitlin got some calls?
• 35:06
  35 or something like 30 to
• 35:08
  like five free throws or something.
• 35:11
  Yeah, it was definitely one way.
• 35:15
  So we want to talk about
• 35:17
  Carolyn on Beyond the Whiteboard.
• 35:20
  Not Beyond the Whiteboard.
• 35:21
  Around the Whiteboard.
• 35:23
  Sponsored by Beyond the Whiteboard.
• 35:27
  so what was the experience like?
• 35:29
  Any, when, when you get in there,
• 35:31
  are you done?
• 35:32
  Is anything done ahead of
• 35:33
  time or do we see,
• 35:35
  I got the questions the day before, like,
• 35:38
  um, Peter sent them to me on my Instagram,
• 35:41
  Pedro for how you guys, his name's Peter,
• 35:43
  but, um, he sent the questions,
• 35:46
  Peter for a lot longer, um, on Instagram.
• 35:49
  So then I looked over them,
• 35:51
  Lex and I had discussions
• 35:52
  about each question, um,
• 35:55
  on what points we thought were important.
• 35:58
  And then I had like backup
• 35:59
  stuff in case things were already taken,
• 36:02
  essentially.
• 36:02
  It was good.
• 36:05
  It was, I mean,
• 36:07
  Lex was like putting
• 36:08
  pressure on me to make sure
• 36:10
  that I don't get muted
• 36:11
  because I can ramble sometimes.
• 36:14
  Well, she's like,
• 36:14
  you need to watch the clock
• 36:16
  and not talk for too much
• 36:18
  and get your points across.
• 36:20
  So I tried doing that.
• 36:21
  And then I was on time for
• 36:22
  all of my one minutes.
• 36:24
  And then even the 20 seconds,
• 36:25
  I never got muted.
• 36:27
  So my opinion for the
• 36:27
  quality of answers given you by far,
• 36:29
  weren't stuck to the
• 36:29
  question and answered the
• 36:30
  question the best.
• 36:48
  I thought so too,
• 36:50
  but Lex told me I was too boring.
• 36:53
  She goes, you're too boring.
• 36:55
  Colton's funny.
• 36:56
  So he's going to get some points.
• 36:58
  So I understood her point of view.
• 37:01
  But I did think my questions
• 37:03
  or my answers had more material,
• 37:06
  but Lex just wants to, what'd she say?
• 37:10
  Add some personality.
• 37:11
  No,
• 37:11
  I think her exact words were probably I
• 37:13
  was boring.
• 37:15
  She's like,
• 37:15
  you need to swear or something.
• 37:20
  Yeah, that's not genuine for everybody.
• 37:22
  I liked listening to you.
• 37:24
  I don't need to hear Colton
• 37:28
  say that that's a terrible question.
• 37:29
  I don't know.
• 37:31
  It's not a...
• 37:33
  I guess what's the point of his show?
• 37:34
  Are we actually discussing
• 37:36
  the topics and giving
• 37:37
  answers or are we just
• 37:39
  trying to be snarky?
• 37:40
  Most of the questions were kind of,
• 37:42
  there wasn't many like two sides, right?
• 37:44
  There are kind of obvious answers.
• 37:47
  So I think that's why we
• 37:48
  didn't have as much kind of
• 37:50
  like banter because you
• 37:52
  couldn't really be like, no,
• 37:53
  I disagree with that.
• 37:54
  I actually think this, right?
• 37:56
  If you had some of the questions that were
• 37:59
  a little bit more
• 38:02
  controversial or just more
• 38:03
  opinionated on two sides,
• 38:05
  it would have been more interesting.
• 38:08
  Even in the rebuttals in the 20 seconds,
• 38:10
  you could have been
• 38:11
  disagreeing a little bit more.
• 38:13
  But when I looked at the questions,
• 38:15
  I thought there was clear,
• 38:17
  obvious answers to me anyways.
• 38:19
  And it seemed like the other two,
• 38:22
  Ant and Colton, thought so as well.
• 38:27
  Yeah.
• 38:27
  It's,
• 38:27
  it's gotta be tough because we're not
• 38:32
  in the most exciting time of the season,
• 38:36
  right?
• 38:36
  Like you guys got the draw
• 38:38
  in between the open and quarters.
• 38:40
  There's not a whole lot to talk about.
• 38:43
  And when you have three athletes on,
• 38:44
  I don't think affiliate
• 38:46
  type questions are the best
• 38:48
  questions to ask.
• 38:50
  No, and that's what I had told Lex.
• 38:52
  I was like,
• 38:52
  I don't think they'll ask
• 38:53
  anything about affiliates
• 38:54
  because I don't think, I mean,
• 38:56
  but Anson affiliate owner, he said.
• 38:59
  I mean, technically,
• 39:00
  so am I. It's for the views.
• 39:05
  This is Lex again.
• 39:06
  Carolyn answers were the
• 39:07
  best Colton tied because he
• 39:09
  was sassy with pizzazz.
• 39:11
  It's true.
• 39:13
  He could have won just with
• 39:14
  his last answer.
• 39:16
  Not even answer,
• 39:17
  but his last comment on Max
• 39:22
  and Training Think Tub and
• 39:24
  all that stuff.
• 39:24
  I have that pulled up.
• 39:25
  Oh, my gosh.
• 39:27
  Because I don't know if you guys saw,
• 39:29
  but from that,
• 39:31
  there's now a one-on-one
• 39:32
  competition happening in a week or so.
• 39:36
  Did you see that Max changed
• 39:37
  his profile bio on Instagram also?
• 39:40
  I did not.
• 39:42
  You have to go to his
• 39:43
  profile as well and look at
• 39:44
  the bio that he put on his account.
• 39:50
  Okay.
• 39:50
  I'll do that after we play
• 39:52
  Colton's response.
• 39:57
  It's 30 seconds.
• 39:59
  Yeah.
• 40:02
  I have a question.
• 40:03
  I have a question for you.
• 40:04
  Okay.
• 40:05
  Are you having Max Ohag on tomorrow?
• 40:09
  Yes.
• 40:11
  Why?
• 40:11
  Why?
• 40:13
  why max el hag over the
• 40:16
  training think tub those
• 40:17
  guys they're an abomination
• 40:19
  to the sport max el hag is
• 40:21
  an absolute menace they
• 40:23
  have their own podcast the
• 40:24
  corpus anus podcast and I
• 40:27
  heard them say the most
• 40:28
  ridiculous things like uh
• 40:30
  like the jake german is the
• 40:31
  the best in the burpees at
• 40:33
  crossfit I just can't
• 40:35
  believe he was hit they me
• 40:36
  next to him in a burpee workout
• 40:38
  I would end this man's life.
• 40:40
  They should pray that he
• 40:41
  never has that fate.
• 40:43
  This is just 30 seconds.
• 40:45
  Is this what you were going
• 40:46
  to use your 30 seconds for?
• 40:47
  Is this your plan?
• 40:50
  My plan was actually to
• 40:51
  concede my final minute and
• 40:52
  just use the whole minute
• 40:54
  to say it because I didn't
• 40:54
  think I was going to win.
• 40:58
  Beautiful.
• 41:01
  When I first met Colton,
• 41:03
  we did his first ever podcast.
• 41:05
  We couldn't get him to say three words.
• 41:09
  he's bought into this um to
• 41:12
  this new not new person
• 41:14
  maybe maybe it's been his
• 41:15
  personality the whole time
• 41:16
  or or he's you know it's
• 41:18
  working for his image and
• 41:19
  sponsorships and stuff like
• 41:20
  that and he's just kind of
• 41:22
  running with it and I think
• 41:22
  that's it's helping his
• 41:24
  brand like he's that's how
• 41:25
  he's branding himself it's
• 41:26
  great well and he did he
• 41:28
  does make a point like in
• 41:29
  one of his answers like the
• 41:31
  key to this whole thing is
• 41:32
  being authentic
• 41:34
  Like,
• 41:35
  don't just clam up and answer what
• 41:37
  you think people want to
• 41:37
  hear when you do interviews.
• 41:40
  Be authentic.
• 41:43
  And apparently it's working for him.
• 41:45
  Like,
• 41:45
  he's getting more sponsors than many
• 41:48
  of the top 10 athletes.
• 41:51
  He's become a legend with
• 41:54
  his remarks and his background story.
• 41:58
  You know, the pig farmer from Iowa.
• 42:01
  And he wins workouts.
• 42:05
  Yeah.
• 42:07
  So from this, um, uh, let me, let me go to,
• 42:13
  so Jake Berman actually
• 42:14
  posted on Instagram Colton
• 42:17
  set up for bar facing burpees,
• 42:19
  which had like a two and a
• 42:20
  half change plate on each
• 42:22
  side of the bar.
• 42:22
  I did see that.
• 42:26
  And so that went back and forth.
• 42:28
  And now, I think it's next week.
• 42:32
  Next Wednesday.
• 42:33
  Yeah.
• 42:33
  Barbell spin is going to air.
• 42:36
  100 burpees.
• 42:37
  100 burpees for time.
• 42:39
  Bar facing.
• 42:40
  Yes.
• 42:41
  Between Colton Mertens and Jake Berman.
• 42:44
  We need more of this.
• 42:45
  We need as much of this as
• 42:47
  people will put out.
• 42:49
  It's only going to help the
• 42:50
  athletes get more exposure.
• 42:53
  And it entertains us all.
• 42:55
  You know,
• 42:56
  Wads all made a great idea with Fit Wars.
• 42:59
  We just got to keep it going.
• 43:02
  And we've seen with Taylor
• 43:04
  versus the world and now this,
• 43:07
  like people get excited over this.
• 43:10
  Reps on reps or whatever
• 43:11
  it's called or something
• 43:12
  that's coming up.
• 43:13
  Reps ahead.
• 43:13
  Reps ahead.
• 43:14
  That's another type of
• 43:15
  one-on-one matchup stuff.
• 43:18
  You got to go, Scott, to Max's Instagram.
• 43:22
  I don't know if it's still there.
• 43:23
  I'm heading there.
• 43:26
  I have to see.
• 43:26
  I think it was there earlier.
• 43:30
  I like when people lean into stuff.
• 43:32
  He leaned into it.
• 43:33
  Oh, he switched it.
• 43:36
  Okay.
• 43:39
  Okay, but if you go to his story,
• 43:40
  go to his story.
• 43:41
  He had put it on his story.
• 43:45
  Why isn't... Is AL right?
• 43:48
  Max AL.
• 43:50
  EL.
• 43:51
  Max space EL.
• 43:54
  All together for his Instagram.
• 43:56
  Yeah.
• 43:58
  Okay, I got it.
• 44:00
  It would be on his story.
• 44:02
  Because he switched his,
• 44:03
  he re-switched his bio.
• 44:07
  Okay.
• 44:09
  I don't know if you can zoom in.
• 44:17
  Yeah.
• 44:19
  Coach fitness number one menace,
• 44:21
  brewing people in the think
• 44:23
  tank tub like Jake Berman
• 44:25
  who have the fastest burpees in the game.
• 44:27
  That's great.
• 44:31
  All of this is brilliant.
• 44:35
  Brilliant to grow the sport.
• 44:40
  The trash talking, the back and forth.
• 44:44
  Now we're going to have it
• 44:44
  out on the floor.
• 44:45
  I think it's going to be great.
• 44:49
  Predictions?
• 44:52
  I think Colton's going to win.
• 44:53
  Oh, Colton.
• 44:55
  I think it's going to be close, though.
• 44:56
  Jake is extremely fast,
• 44:58
  but he's no Colton.
• 44:59
  Colton's... There's only one.
• 45:03
  There's no one beating him in that stuff.
• 45:07
  Like, he's literally the best.
• 45:09
  He's the best,
• 45:10
  and he's the guy that's
• 45:11
  willing to die for the reps.
• 45:18
  It's funny because my mom's
• 45:19
  in the background,
• 45:19
  send down the odd time.
• 45:20
  She'll be like, yeah, he's the best.
• 45:21
  And like chimes in a little
• 45:23
  bit on some of the responses.
• 45:25
  My mom's into this chat right now.
• 45:29
  Awesome.
• 45:30
  So super stoked about that.
• 45:33
  Um, and, uh, yeah,
• 45:37
  so super happy about that.
• 45:40
  Next up on the agenda, uh,
• 45:41
  did everybody get a chance
• 45:42
  to see the Danielle Brandon documentary?
• 45:46
  Sure did.
• 45:47
  thoughts it was good yeah I
• 45:54
  loved it I i don't know
• 45:55
  much about her background
• 45:57
  um so I got to I was very
• 45:59
  impressed just like
• 46:01
  athletically like what she
• 46:03
  did growing up and how
• 46:04
  sports was her coping
• 46:05
  mechanism for the crazy
• 46:08
  stuff that was going on at
• 46:09
  home and just to see how
• 46:10
  she turned out like it just
• 46:12
  it gives you a different perspective on,
• 46:15
  um, other people's lives.
• 46:17
  And like, it's just, yeah, just,
• 46:20
  you got to see a side of her that like,
• 46:22
  cause I,
• 46:23
  I know her like when I compete
• 46:24
  against her, but I don't know her.
• 46:26
  Right.
• 46:26
  So, um, I like, I really enjoyed it.
• 46:29
  It was really, really good.
• 46:33
  I, while watching it, like I was,
• 46:35
  I was very curious to hear her background,
• 46:38
  um, like how she grew up and stuff,
• 46:40
  but I,
• 46:41
  When Savan called Taylor and
• 46:44
  Taylor commented that there
• 46:47
  was one thing that soured it for him,
• 46:49
  I immediately like were on
• 46:51
  the couch and I was like,
• 46:52
  guarantee he says Cooper Marsh.
• 46:54
  Taylor was like Cooper Marsh
• 46:55
  when he said the flipping the birds.
• 46:57
  I had the exact same reaction watching it.
• 47:00
  And that like when I finished,
• 47:01
  I was just like.
• 47:03
  The whole like not the whole thing,
• 47:06
  but like it feels a bit scripted.
• 47:09
  And the big thing is like she's genuine.
• 47:11
  And even Dave says that like
• 47:13
  you just need to be genuine.
• 47:14
  But like I have this other
• 47:18
  like niggling question, like,
• 47:21
  is it a little bit scripted?
• 47:23
  Like.
• 47:25
  I mean, to me, it's like Cooper, like,
• 47:27
  told her to do that.
• 47:28
  So she did it.
• 47:29
  And he knew exactly what
• 47:30
  that was going to do in that situation.
• 47:33
  Like, he's a great agent for a reason.
• 47:36
  And he has taken her very far.
• 47:38
  So I don't know.
• 47:40
  Maybe that's just my, like,
• 47:44
  the way my brain works.
• 47:46
  But that was my immediately thought.
• 47:48
  And when Savant called
• 47:49
  Taylor and Taylor said that, I was like,
• 47:51
  that was exactly how I felt watching it.
• 47:55
  so okay so I thought the
• 47:59
  background story was a 10
• 48:01
  out of 10. everything about
• 48:04
  how she grew up the stuff
• 48:06
  she had to deal with all of
• 48:08
  like the fbi the jails the
• 48:11
  the the drugs the yeah the
• 48:15
  like stealing that stuff
• 48:17
  from her mom and disposing
• 48:19
  of it as as a child like
• 48:23
  the relationship with her
• 48:24
  brother and what happened
• 48:26
  when she had to get out of the house,
• 48:28
  like that broke my heart.
• 48:29
  Yeah.
• 48:31
  All of that.
• 48:32
  10 out of 10.
• 48:33
  Yeah.
• 48:34
  Yeah.
• 48:35
  That helped her out.
• 48:37
  They got her,
• 48:38
  made sure she saw that she
• 48:40
  had an opportunity to go to
• 48:41
  college fully paid, like,
• 48:45
  and made sure that happened.
• 48:46
  Like the,
• 48:47
  the family that bought her a computer,
• 48:49
  the,
• 48:49
  like all of that stuff was so
• 48:52
  freaking cool.
• 48:55
  when we get to the CrossFit stuff,
• 48:56
  I knew most of like her journey.
• 49:01
  Again, since I started this podcast,
• 49:04
  we've been trying to follow
• 49:05
  people before they were famous.
• 49:07
  So I knew her before mayhem
• 49:10
  when they said in the movie,
• 49:11
  like nobody knew who she
• 49:12
  was till after the mayhem classic,
• 49:14
  we've been following her
• 49:15
  for a little bit before then.
• 49:17
  So I knew all of that stuff.
• 49:20
  The part where it goes off
• 49:21
  the rails for me a little
• 49:22
  bit is the underdog story.
• 49:25
  And I don't know if it's how
• 49:27
  close I am with Justin that
• 49:31
  it just irked me.
• 49:33
  And the person who irked me was Cooper.
• 49:36
  It wasn't Danielle.
• 49:39
  It was him sitting off to the side saying,
• 49:41
  they just need to have an
• 49:42
  adult conversation.
• 49:45
  And I'm just thinking, like,
• 49:47
  I'm sure that was tried.
• 49:49
  this wasn't a one time deal
• 49:51
  that made this happen.
• 49:55
  And, and they did kind of talk about that,
• 49:57
  but Cooper kind of just
• 49:58
  made it all this moot point
• 50:01
  and they were just being immature.
• 50:05
  So like, and I like Cooper,
• 50:08
  like I've gotten along with Cooper a lot,
• 50:10
  but this did nothing for me
• 50:14
  and my viewpoint of Cooper to,
• 50:18
  Yeah, because he just basically says,
• 50:20
  I don't think she should
• 50:21
  have been let go.
• 50:22
  And that quote, Cotler, was wrong.
• 50:26
  Lex.
• 50:28
  But it made me sensitive towards Cotler,
• 50:31
  though.
• 50:32
  You can see how much Cotler
• 50:36
  has so much passion for his athletes.
• 50:38
  The way he supports his
• 50:39
  athletes is amazing.
• 50:41
  is crazy right like everyone
• 50:42
  from the outside just sees
• 50:43
  it it's like I i felt for
• 50:45
  him because it kind of it
• 50:47
  kind of made it look like
• 50:49
  he threw her under the bus
• 50:50
  right before the games
• 50:51
  which I mean technically
• 50:53
  yes right like but like she
• 50:56
  had like kicked her out but
• 50:57
  there's other I feel like
• 50:58
  there's a lot left out and
• 51:00
  we're seeing the one side a
• 51:02
  little bit more or I mean I don't know
• 51:05
  So that was the other thing.
• 51:06
  Like the Mac ended and she says,
• 51:08
  and I went back and just
• 51:10
  was sitting by the pool and I get fired.
• 51:13
  It was a month later that she got fired.
• 51:17
  And there were other things
• 51:18
  that happened in that month
• 51:20
  for that to happen.
• 51:23
  To glance,
• 51:25
  gloss over it like that was just,
• 51:28
  and there's Justin like
• 51:30
  giving out his heart and
• 51:31
  soul and saying how much it
• 51:33
  hurt him and how much
• 51:34
  affection he has for her to this day.
• 51:38
  Like that was,
• 51:40
  that was tough for me
• 51:41
  because that's my friend.
• 51:43
  And I know,
• 51:44
  I know how he felt about her
• 51:46
  and he talked about it all the time.
• 51:49
  that he wanted her to win
• 51:50
  the games and thought she
• 51:52
  had every bit of talent to do so.
• 51:57
  He was nonstop talking about her.
• 52:00
  At the Mac, his passion in the stands,
• 52:04
  everything, you're like, wow.
• 52:07
  Not only is Danielle such a
• 52:08
  talented person,
• 52:10
  athlete and fit athlete but
• 52:12
  she now has the support and
• 52:13
  the coach and like you knew
• 52:15
  she had a rough background
• 52:16
  that it was almost like a
• 52:17
  father figure from the
• 52:19
  outside right like it was
• 52:21
  like now she can actually
• 52:22
  go and win the games
• 52:23
  because she has someone
• 52:23
  that's believing in her
• 52:24
  when maybe she doesn't
• 52:26
  always believe in herself
• 52:27
  right and that's that's the
• 52:28
  kind of like relationship
• 52:29
  you saw from the outside
• 52:31
  She said that in the doc herself,
• 52:32
  that he was like a father figure.
• 52:34
  Yeah.
• 52:35
  So that, like,
• 52:36
  I wasn't upset at the way
• 52:37
  what Danielle had said.
• 52:38
  No.
• 52:39
  There are hurt feelings
• 52:40
  there that I am hoping
• 52:42
  someday the two of them can
• 52:43
  come together and build a bridge back.
• 52:47
  But, man, the way Cooper dealt with it,
• 52:49
  it just upset me.
• 52:53
  Yeah, I agree.
• 52:54
  Well,
• 52:54
  and Elise says it sounded like it was
• 52:58
  either he let one athlete
• 52:59
  go or lose multiple.
• 53:00
  Is Cooper not an agent for
• 53:03
  any one of those other, like,
• 53:04
  10 athletes that were
• 53:06
  underdogs at that time?
• 53:07
  Because he had to have had
• 53:09
  responses from those
• 53:10
  coaches and athletes who
• 53:12
  had told Kotler they were
• 53:14
  going to pull out.
• 53:16
  And she was kind of already
• 53:18
  on the outs of that, like, leaving that –
• 53:20
  Camp?
• 53:21
  Well, moving.
• 53:22
  Moving, so not being there.
• 53:23
  If you remember the next season,
• 53:25
  she had hurt her back.
• 53:29
  Yes.
• 53:29
  Couldn't open.
• 53:30
  And I think she had already
• 53:31
  moved to... And she was getting married.
• 53:34
  Yeah.
• 53:38
  Yeah.
• 53:40
  So he didn't have any direct
• 53:41
  contact with... I mean,
• 53:43
  who all was there?
• 53:45
  annika kyra um alex yeah
• 53:51
  delugos um there was I mean
• 53:54
  there was a lot probably
• 53:55
  like started yeah I'm sure
• 53:58
  it was the girls more than
• 53:59
  anything but you like at
• 54:03
  some point cooper's got to
• 54:05
  take a business look at
• 54:07
  that from kotler's side and be like
• 54:11
  I mean, yeah, like he can't lose the other,
• 54:15
  even like she might be
• 54:16
  great and she might be
• 54:18
  great for the sport and your brand.
• 54:19
  But like, if,
• 54:21
  if it's going to stop anyone
• 54:23
  else from coming there,
• 54:24
  how great in the end is it going to be?
• 54:28
  And you would think as a, like,
• 54:30
  I under like,
• 54:31
  and I understand he like
• 54:32
  really wants to have her back.
• 54:33
  Like,
• 54:34
  I'm glad she has someone in her life
• 54:36
  still that's like continues
• 54:37
  to support her the way he seems to be.
• 54:39
  But yeah,
• 54:41
  If she watches that back and
• 54:42
  can't see the love from Justin still,
• 54:45
  that's sad.
• 54:47
  I think she will as well.
• 54:50
  If you watch the Lauren
• 54:51
  interview with Danielle,
• 54:53
  I would say it's reciprocated from her.
• 54:55
  Mm-hmm.
• 54:57
  You could see the emotional.
• 55:00
  The whole time she was at Brute,
• 55:01
  she was telling them,
• 55:02
  you don't care about me like Cutler did.
• 55:04
  You don't.
• 55:06
  And she said that flat out
• 55:07
  in that other interview.
• 55:09
  Hmm.
• 55:10
  that she missed the way she
• 55:11
  was coached by Kotler.
• 55:14
  And how he believed in her.
• 55:15
  Nobody believed in me like he did.
• 55:20
  She kept saying that.
• 55:21
  And so you can tell on both ends,
• 55:25
  they still love each other
• 55:27
  in a way that none of us will ever know,
• 55:30
  like Coach Athlete.
• 55:32
  And I'm hoping at some point in time,
• 55:35
  they can come to a reconciliation.
• 55:37
  Yeah.
• 55:38
  That's what that documentary
• 55:39
  gave me hope for in that
• 55:41
  underdogs aspect.
• 55:44
  Well, she's clear.
• 55:45
  I mean, she's,
• 55:47
  she's clearly hurting and
• 55:48
  like has always felt like
• 55:50
  she's cast aside and not wanted.
• 55:52
  And like that, I'm,
• 55:53
  that did nothing for her.
• 55:55
  I'm sure like that just
• 55:57
  piled on top of everything
• 55:58
  else that bad that's
• 55:59
  happened throughout her life.
• 56:00
  And I felt for her in that instance,
• 56:01
  but at some point you also
• 56:04
  need to look at your actions,
• 56:06
  mannerisms and how you
• 56:08
  treat other people and like
• 56:10
  do some critical thinking there too.
• 56:12
  Like.
• 56:14
  Yeah.
• 56:15
  i agree it was so overall I
• 56:20
  give the I give the entire
• 56:22
  documentary probably an
• 56:23
  eight with the background
• 56:25
  stuff a 10 the crossfit
• 56:26
  stuff like a seven six and
• 56:28
  a half six um and then
• 56:30
  together like an eight yeah
• 56:32
  I agree yeah I liked it I
• 56:35
  just thought like the
• 56:36
  timing of it was
• 56:37
  interesting it's like
• 56:37
  middle of the season like I don't
• 56:40
  like uh wasn't sure on the
• 56:42
  timing of it and then they
• 56:43
  didn't go much into like
• 56:45
  the after like brew like a
• 56:48
  little bit with dallin but
• 56:49
  kind of like where she is
• 56:51
  now by name I agreed no
• 56:54
  mention of of matt no there
• 56:57
  was no there was no mention
• 56:58
  of that not once it was
• 56:59
  dallin yeah I thought that
• 57:02
  was strange so I don't know
• 57:04
  what's going on there um
• 57:07
  maybe that's the sequel
• 57:10
  But for timing-wise,
• 57:12
  and I was watching Spin last night,
• 57:16
  it makes perfect sense to me.
• 57:18
  This is the boring time of
• 57:20
  the season with no good content.
• 57:23
  If you can put out good content now,
• 57:25
  people will flock to it.
• 57:28
  And when I checked when I
• 57:30
  woke up this morning,
• 57:31
  it had like 38,000 views already.
• 57:35
  And I'm sure it's piled them on today.
• 57:38
  Yeah,
• 57:39
  and I guess now people will be
• 57:40
  rooting for her even more so.
• 57:41
  I mean,
• 57:42
  she's probably one of the most
• 57:43
  popular athletes anyways,
• 57:45
  but I'm sure they're behind
• 57:46
  her even more and have a
• 57:49
  better understanding.
• 57:50
  I hope the reason behind it
• 57:52
  is what she said,
• 57:53
  hoping that other people
• 57:54
  that were in my situation
• 57:56
  will see this and draw
• 57:58
  inspiration from it.
• 58:03
  But when you learn what she
• 58:05
  went through and kept her grades up,
• 58:09
  and got a full ride
• 58:10
  scholarship like that blows
• 58:13
  me away so yeah and I agree
• 58:22
  with elise it was probably
• 58:23
  filmed a while ago they
• 58:29
  were together at the games
• 58:31
  and they have a ton of
• 58:32
  games coverage they were
• 58:33
  good together at semis
• 58:38
  What do you mean?
• 58:38
  Brute?
• 58:42
  I'm talking timing wise.
• 58:44
  Oh yeah.
• 58:45
  Like it,
• 58:46
  it just was probably was filmed
• 58:47
  last season.
• 58:49
  They edited it through the fall.
• 58:51
  Editing takes a long time.
• 58:52
  Trust me.
• 58:53
  Oh, well, I'm just,
• 58:55
  she said this seemed to end
• 58:57
  around the time she would
• 58:57
  have gotten with Matt.
• 58:58
  And I don't necessarily agree with that.
• 59:00
  Like,
• 59:00
  I think there would have been plenty of,
• 59:03
  she just,
• 59:04
  I would say she clearly doesn't
• 59:05
  want any part of her,
• 59:08
  love life in which I mean
• 59:11
  makes sense because it's
• 59:12
  like if you're gonna do a
• 59:13
  documentary I don't think
• 59:16
  that I would want like
• 59:18
  especially if you're not
• 59:18
  with that person anymore
• 59:19
  like you don't want to be
• 59:21
  remembering like that's I
• 59:22
  want it to be a documentary
• 59:23
  that you can like look at
• 59:24
  for the rest of your life
• 59:24
  and go back to it I don't
• 59:26
  know and she doesn't want
• 59:27
  that part and if it's no
• 59:30
  longer relevant I guess yeah
• 59:35
  All right, well, let's move on.
• 59:36
  We're,
• 59:36
  we're at the hour mark where you
• 59:38
  need to land this plane.
• 59:40
  So I wanted to talk quickly
• 59:42
  about my coach owner of my gym,
• 59:45
  going to Houston,
• 59:46
  kicking ass and taking names.
• 59:50
  christy o'connell goes to
• 59:52
  houston does a high rocks
• 59:54
  we all said it on this show
• 59:55
  before she went she was
• 59:57
  going to crush it not only
• 59:59
  did she crush it she had
• 1:00:00
  one of like the the 62nd
• 1:00:02
  fastest time ever at a high
• 1:00:05
  rocks event I think and her
• 1:00:06
  first ever one
• 1:00:09
  And like she said that like
• 1:00:10
  she didn't even know she
• 1:00:11
  didn't even know like the
• 1:00:12
  order of the stuff.
• 1:00:13
  She didn't even know like
• 1:00:14
  where to go for transitions.
• 1:00:16
  Like if she actually like
• 1:00:17
  like this was like her test,
• 1:00:18
  her first full test run of
• 1:00:21
  what the hell this thing is about.
• 1:00:23
  Like you're you're shaving a
• 1:00:26
  lot of seconds if you
• 1:00:27
  actually know where you're
• 1:00:28
  going and how the routes are, you know.
• 1:00:31
  Like she can only go up, I think,
• 1:00:33
  from here.
• 1:00:34
  In an hour and four minutes
• 1:00:36
  and some change.
• 1:00:38
  The fastest in the world, I think,
• 1:00:39
  is 58 minutes.
• 1:00:41
  Yeah, that girl's a beast.
• 1:00:43
  So you're only talking like,
• 1:00:44
  and that's of all time.
• 1:00:45
  Not this year.
• 1:00:47
  That is of all time.
• 1:00:49
  And she was a former CrossFitter too.
• 1:00:51
  Michelle Weeks, right?
• 1:00:52
  Lauren Weeks.
• 1:00:53
  Lauren Weeks.
• 1:00:56
  And that was her first one.
• 1:00:58
  You know she's shaving time off of it.
• 1:01:01
  She didn't even know how to
• 1:01:02
  work the automated wall ball counter.
• 1:01:05
  I know.
• 1:01:05
  Did you hear that?
• 1:01:06
  Yeah, she was over.
• 1:01:07
  She threw the ball above the counter thing,
• 1:01:10
  so she was getting no rep for a while.
• 1:01:11
  I didn't know that was there,
• 1:01:13
  so I'm glad she pointed
• 1:01:14
  that out because I would do
• 1:01:15
  the exact same thing.
• 1:01:17
  So, yeah.
• 1:01:18
  So she didn't know any of
• 1:01:19
  that stuff going in.
• 1:01:22
  You got to think,
• 1:01:22
  she takes a couple minutes
• 1:01:24
  off just knowing what she's doing.
• 1:01:27
  Mm-hmm.
• 1:01:29
  So yeah, I'm anxious.
• 1:01:33
  She's one of the best runners, if not,
• 1:01:36
  you know,
• 1:01:36
  top runner that we've had in
• 1:01:38
  CrossFit consistently,
• 1:01:42
  basically a top 10 athlete at the games.
• 1:01:46
  Like she's always been one
• 1:01:47
  of my favorites to follow.
• 1:01:48
  I just, I think that she's super talented.
• 1:01:53
  What I thought was cool in the,
• 1:01:54
  in her little mini documentary of it is,
• 1:01:57
  uh,
• 1:01:58
  these high rocks athletes coming over
• 1:02:00
  wanting their picture with him,
• 1:02:01
  that her saying that you're
• 1:02:03
  an inspiration because
• 1:02:04
  you're shorter athlete.
• 1:02:05
  And I look up to you because I,
• 1:02:07
  I can relate to you.
• 1:02:08
  I don't know how many people
• 1:02:09
  have told me on the road, tell Christie,
• 1:02:12
  she's an inspiration.
• 1:02:13
  I'm a shorter athlete and
• 1:02:15
  she's my favorite because of that.
• 1:02:17
  Like a hundred people have told me that.
• 1:02:21
  Yeah.
• 1:02:23
  So super cool.
• 1:02:30
  Affiliate Town Hall today
• 1:02:31
  announced some stuff about
• 1:02:32
  the quarterfinals.
• 1:02:34
  Sure did.
• 1:02:36
  No floor plans will be
• 1:02:37
  released until the workouts are released.
• 1:02:41
  Yep.
• 1:02:43
  And there will be four workouts.
• 1:02:46
  Spin did point out in his
• 1:02:48
  article that does not say
• 1:02:50
  only four scored events.
• 1:02:52
  It only says four workouts.
• 1:02:55
  Correct.
• 1:02:58
  So thoughts on that.
• 1:03:00
  And what I didn't know,
• 1:03:01
  and maybe this was public
• 1:03:03
  knowledge before,
• 1:03:03
  but I saw that there was
• 1:03:04
  just the two submission windows,
• 1:03:06
  Saturday and Monday.
• 1:03:08
  I fully expected it to be the like Friday,
• 1:03:10
  Saturday window.
• 1:03:12
  or Saturday, Sunday, Monday,
• 1:03:13
  like it has been in the past,
• 1:03:16
  like a 2-2-1 thing.
• 1:03:17
  But with only the four workouts,
• 1:03:20
  I guess it sort of makes sense.
• 1:03:22
  I'm shocked there's only four workouts,
• 1:03:24
  to be honest.
• 1:03:27
  Even if there's two two-parters,
• 1:03:29
  I'm still shocked.
• 1:03:33
  With that long of a window,
• 1:03:34
  it almost just gives too much time.
• 1:03:38
  Agreed.
• 1:03:38
  That's what I've liked about
• 1:03:40
  the five workout, six scores type thing.
• 1:03:42
  Like in four days, like good luck.
• 1:03:44
  If you redo one of those,
• 1:03:46
  cause you're going to be hurting and like,
• 1:03:49
  you gotta be smart about it.
• 1:03:52
  Like, yeah, I don't want that.
• 1:03:53
  I want it to be,
• 1:03:54
  I want it to be like an
• 1:03:55
  in-person comp as much as possible.
• 1:03:57
  Here's your, here's your 24 hours.
• 1:03:59
  Here's the code,
• 1:04:00
  do the workouts and get in, submit it.
• 1:04:02
  And then I'll give you the
• 1:04:03
  code for the next one.
• 1:04:04
  Cause you can't do it before
• 1:04:05
  till I give you the code.
• 1:04:06
  Like I want it to be,
• 1:04:08
  I want you and I to do
• 1:04:09
  workout one and two.
• 1:04:11
  on day one together not you
• 1:04:13
  get in workout three and
• 1:04:15
  because that was your
• 1:04:16
  weakest and then maybe you
• 1:04:17
  beat me at two because you
• 1:04:19
  were able to strategize
• 1:04:20
  something because you're in
• 1:04:22
  europe and you have 12
• 1:04:22
  extra hours or something
• 1:04:23
  before you go to bed like I
• 1:04:24
  don't want any of that I
• 1:04:26
  want here's workout one do
• 1:04:28
  it here's workout two do it
• 1:04:31
  here's workout three do it
• 1:04:32
  just like a comp would be
• 1:04:34
  everyone does in the same order
• 1:04:36
  One time.
• 1:04:38
  The only thing with that is
• 1:04:40
  because they're extending it at 25%,
• 1:04:43
  you have to allow people
• 1:04:44
  that have jobs during the week or weekend,
• 1:04:49
  whatever, to plan accordingly.
• 1:04:51
  If it's one workout, they do a class.
• 1:04:55
  Yeah.
• 1:04:55
  Right.
• 1:04:57
  I'm tired of that.
• 1:05:01
  Because this is really like, this is,
• 1:05:06
  qualifying for the semis is
• 1:05:07
  going to be really freaking hard.
• 1:05:10
  Very hard.
• 1:05:11
  And at this point,
• 1:05:12
  the elite athletes have to
• 1:05:14
  have a fair competition
• 1:05:16
  that is evenly spread out
• 1:05:20
  over different modalities,
• 1:05:22
  different aspects.
• 1:05:24
  There's going to be a max
• 1:05:25
  lift that's going to count for 20%.
• 1:05:28
  There's going to be a part
• 1:05:28
  two that's going to be a
• 1:05:30
  max lift with 25% of the
• 1:05:32
  people that are like not
• 1:05:33
  fatigued going into the max lift.
• 1:05:35
  And then they're going to
• 1:05:36
  pull up big numbers.
• 1:05:38
  And if it's a bad lift for you,
• 1:05:41
  good luck making that top 40.
• 1:05:43
  Exactly.
• 1:05:46
  Like there better be minimum
• 1:05:47
  work requirement.
• 1:05:48
  There better be – it better be –
• 1:05:51
  Like six rounds for time in this time.
• 1:05:54
  If you finish the work, you get this,
• 1:05:56
  like you can't,
• 1:05:58
  I don't feel like it can be
• 1:05:59
  like the quarter, the,
• 1:06:00
  our semifinals workout last
• 1:06:02
  year that was started with
• 1:06:04
  hands while facing handstand pushups.
• 1:06:05
  And there were people who did zero.
• 1:06:07
  who got to get a lift in and
• 1:06:09
  beat me out on the
• 1:06:09
  leaderboard and pushed me down.
• 1:06:11
  Like that kind of stuff.
• 1:06:12
  When you have 25,
• 1:06:13
  you have people who we have
• 1:06:14
  no idea if they got one bar muscle,
• 1:06:16
  probably barely no skills.
• 1:06:18
  They're just going to come in and finally,
• 1:06:20
  John Young finally gets his
• 1:06:22
  barbell and lifts something
• 1:06:24
  so heavy without
• 1:06:26
  necessarily having the fitness to,
• 1:06:28
  which is the bottom of the pyramid.
• 1:06:30
  Let's make sure you have that first.
• 1:06:32
  Like,
• 1:06:32
  are we going to even going to get
• 1:06:33
  another workout, like workout three,
• 1:06:35
  like to make sure people
• 1:06:36
  have the fitness.
• 1:06:38
  I mean, you clearly need that workout,
• 1:06:40
  a very similar workout
• 1:06:42
  again to make sure like
• 1:06:44
  someone like Brooke or Tia
• 1:06:46
  don't get through if they
• 1:06:47
  aren't healthy enough to get through.
• 1:06:49
  Like we can't, you can't be like, well,
• 1:06:50
  we already tested that.
• 1:06:53
  People got through on that.
• 1:06:55
  That baby shouldn't get through.
• 1:06:56
  I'll take Jamie doesn't want
• 1:06:57
  broker T to make it into semis.
• 1:06:59
  I, I listen, I hope they're,
• 1:07:01
  I hope they're recovered by then.
• 1:07:03
  I just don't want anyone to
• 1:07:04
  be able to limp in, like,
• 1:07:06
  because I'm just giving you
• 1:07:09
  shit because another hot
• 1:07:11
  take from coach crispy cream.
• 1:07:14
  HQ has never had to program
• 1:07:16
  a more important set of
• 1:07:17
  tests ever more important
• 1:07:20
  than any open semis or games prior.
• 1:07:24
  The window for elite
• 1:07:25
  athletes is so freaking small.
• 1:07:29
  And the workouts are the
• 1:07:30
  same from 16 to 54.
• 1:07:33
  Correct.
• 1:07:35
  Which is crazy.
• 1:07:37
  And then Dave has said that
• 1:07:40
  it's going to be like,
• 1:07:41
  everyone can start them, right?
• 1:07:43
  Like you can start them.
• 1:07:44
  So obviously like, like a max lift,
• 1:07:47
  if it's a max lift,
• 1:07:48
  like everyone can start that.
• 1:07:49
  And then you're just going
• 1:07:49
  to your own capacity versus a lot like,
• 1:07:54
  and then do they have like,
• 1:07:57
  rope climbs and GHDs and stuff.
• 1:07:59
  Cause like 25%,
• 1:08:00
  like there's a lot of gyms
• 1:08:02
  don't have 15 foot ceilings,
• 1:08:04
  like big warehouses.
• 1:08:06
  Yeah.
• 1:08:06
  They, they do outside of big cities,
• 1:08:08
  but if you're in a big city,
• 1:08:09
  if you're in New York,
• 1:08:10
  if you're in Chicago and stuff,
• 1:08:11
  and you're just like
• 1:08:13
  smaller affiliate with like downtown,
• 1:08:14
  like you don't have 15 foot ceilings, um,
• 1:08:17
  in certain parts of the country, GHDs,
• 1:08:18
  like how many do gyms have?
• 1:08:20
  Like if you're Mayhem,
• 1:08:21
  you have like 50 of them,
• 1:08:22
  but most gyms have what,
• 1:08:24
  like one to four or five, um,
• 1:08:27
  And you got a bunch of
• 1:08:28
  people needing to do the workouts.
• 1:08:30
  Do they include that?
• 1:08:31
  Or maybe now they don't include that.
• 1:08:36
  ACR heard a rumor that Jamie
• 1:08:38
  doesn't like Tia or Brooke.
• 1:08:41
  After a deep dive has
• 1:08:42
  discovered because they're not Canadian.
• 1:08:50
  I've got no rebuttal.
• 1:08:51
  It may be true.
• 1:08:52
  Coach Krispy Kreme back in the comments.
• 1:08:54
  I think
• 1:08:56
  I think of this quarter as
• 1:08:57
  in the context of the
• 1:08:59
  precedence it will set and
• 1:09:01
  the impact it will have on
• 1:09:02
  the majority of the
• 1:09:03
  competitive CrossFit community.
• 1:09:06
  Yeah.
• 1:09:08
  It's going to be really telling on, like,
• 1:09:11
  if there is a lift,
• 1:09:12
  it is going to push the
• 1:09:14
  entire space into heavier, stronger.
• 1:09:18
  And they, like, really need to decide,
• 1:09:19
  does the base of the
• 1:09:22
  pyramid mean a little bit more or does...
• 1:09:27
  Are they just going to push strength?
• 1:09:30
  Jamie,
• 1:09:31
  you've been awarded a point from Chris.
• 1:09:33
  Oh, thanks.
• 1:09:38
  Carolyn's done with the points.
• 1:09:41
  I was going to say something
• 1:09:42
  and I forgot my... No, I think Tristan...
• 1:09:49
  has made an excellent point.
• 1:09:53
  And he said it way better
• 1:09:55
  than I could ever say it.
• 1:09:56
  This round of this year's
• 1:10:00
  season is so freaking critical.
• 1:10:02
  And I don't think people understand that.
• 1:10:07
  I don't know if they care
• 1:10:08
  about the 40th athlete.
• 1:10:16
  I totally agree.
• 1:10:17
  Like look at the cuts at the games.
• 1:10:19
  I mean,
• 1:10:19
  I was at dinner with Dave and I
• 1:10:22
  told him that I didn't like
• 1:10:23
  the cuts like last year
• 1:10:24
  when I was on the demo team and like,
• 1:10:27
  they don't like the top
• 1:10:29
  people are still going to
• 1:10:29
  rise to the top.
• 1:10:31
  And at the end of the day,
• 1:10:31
  like if you're making it 40th,
• 1:10:33
  like in their mind,
• 1:10:34
  like you're probably not
• 1:10:34
  making it to the games anyways.
• 1:10:36
  Like,
• 1:10:37
  and those athletes are very dependent
• 1:10:39
  on workouts, which is like everyone minus,
• 1:10:43
  you know,
• 1:10:44
  five people per region maybe
• 1:10:45
  that can go on any workout,
• 1:10:48
  but I don't know.
• 1:10:50
  I think Taylor made a great
• 1:10:51
  point today on shut up and scribble.
• 1:10:53
  CrossFit only cares about the top five.
• 1:10:57
  Yes.
• 1:10:57
  If the top five get the whole way through,
• 1:11:00
  if Brent, Pat, Roman, Ricky,
• 1:11:04
  and Jeff all make it through,
• 1:11:06
  they're happy.
• 1:11:09
  And they could care less about the,
• 1:11:11
  however, the rest fall.
• 1:11:13
  Yeah.
• 1:11:16
  They care that Tia, Laura, Emma,
• 1:11:21
  probably Ariel now, and Alex make it in,
• 1:11:26
  and the rest they could care less.
• 1:11:32
  I hope not.
• 1:11:35
  I feel like they're, I mean,
• 1:11:37
  they know that this, they know, right,
• 1:11:39
  that this is important.
• 1:11:42
  They know, right,
• 1:11:43
  that they need to program like,
• 1:11:45
  pretty good workouts now for
• 1:11:47
  top 40 like I hope that
• 1:11:48
  they're taking it like
• 1:11:50
  seriously and really
• 1:11:52
  thinking about the
• 1:11:53
  combination of movements
• 1:11:54
  and how many workouts and
• 1:11:58
  scored events like the more
• 1:12:00
  the better the more the
• 1:12:02
  more precise it's going to
• 1:12:03
  be for the field like four
• 1:12:04
  events I if there's only
• 1:12:06
  four events that's
• 1:12:08
  That sucks.
• 1:12:09
  There won't be.
• 1:12:10
  There's no way.
• 1:12:13
  The strong guy talk.
• 1:12:15
  I laugh every time the
• 1:12:16
  complaints about the lifts come in.
• 1:12:19
  You always have to lift with
• 1:12:20
  a high heart rate.
• 1:12:21
  It really drops your numbers.
• 1:12:23
  But that elevated heart rate
• 1:12:24
  means it's all metabolic condition.
• 1:12:27
  And he ran out of space.
• 1:12:29
  So he finished it.
• 1:12:31
  But we have not tested strength at all.
• 1:12:33
  Just take it out of the
• 1:12:34
  pyramid if we aren't testing it.
• 1:12:37
  But we don't need to be the strongest.
• 1:12:39
  We need to be strong enough.
• 1:12:42
  And you could test strength
• 1:12:43
  under like muscular fatigue.
• 1:12:48
  Say like basically last year
• 1:12:50
  at the end of the open,
• 1:12:52
  it was that wall facing or sorry,
• 1:12:56
  wall walks, snatch,
• 1:12:58
  double unders maybe were in there.
• 1:13:00
  Was there a dumb one?
• 1:13:01
  Yeah.
• 1:13:02
  And it was like, push up.
• 1:13:04
  Yeah.
• 1:13:05
  And a little bit heavier.
• 1:13:05
  Like that one,
• 1:13:06
  you're testing strength
• 1:13:07
  under like muscular fatigue
• 1:13:08
  of the shoulder.
• 1:13:09
  And then you could also do
• 1:13:10
  kind of like a shuttle run
• 1:13:12
  and also strength under a high heart rate,
• 1:13:15
  but you don't need to be
• 1:13:16
  top end strength.
• 1:13:19
  Like you just, you just need to be strong.
• 1:13:21
  Like, like you,
• 1:13:23
  you can't make it through if you're weak,
• 1:13:24
  but you still have to test strength.
• 1:13:25
  But we're saying to have one scored event,
• 1:13:28
  be a, not a, um,
• 1:13:32
  Just a lift.
• 1:13:33
  Yeah, just the one movement.
• 1:13:34
  I was going to say monostructural,
• 1:13:35
  but that's not what I meant.
• 1:13:40
  I meant single modality.
• 1:13:43
  The one year they had the
• 1:13:44
  burpee that you had to
• 1:13:46
  complete to earn your right to lift.
• 1:13:48
  Yes, exactly.
• 1:13:50
  I had to redo that to be
• 1:13:52
  able to get my lift in.
• 1:13:54
  No,
• 1:13:54
  the double dumbbell squat and the burpee.
• 1:13:58
  Bar-facing burpee, double dumbbell squat.
• 1:14:00
  18.2A or whatever it was.
• 1:14:03
  You had to finish the 10 rounds.
• 1:14:05
  If you didn't finish the 10 rounds,
• 1:14:06
  you didn't get to do B. I'm
• 1:14:08
  good with that.
• 1:14:08
  What LDY is saying here, though,
• 1:14:10
  I laugh every time the
• 1:14:11
  complaints come in about the lifts.
• 1:14:13
  You always have to lift with a heart rate.
• 1:14:16
  That's bull crap.
• 1:14:18
  There's tons of work.
• 1:14:21
  We've had tons of workouts that have not.
• 1:14:25
  said that you have to have a
• 1:14:26
  high heart rate.
• 1:14:26
  We've had four rep front squat,
• 1:14:28
  completely its own workout,
• 1:14:30
  single modality,
• 1:14:31
  not under a high heart rate.
• 1:14:32
  We've had, you could just,
• 1:14:34
  you could have literally just done,
• 1:14:35
  walked some shuttles and
• 1:14:36
  done 10 burpee pull-ups and
• 1:14:38
  sat there for the rest 10
• 1:14:39
  minutes and been completely
• 1:14:40
  fresh and hit a crazy thruster.
• 1:14:43
  So no,
• 1:14:43
  you can't tell me that you always
• 1:14:45
  have to lift with a high heart rate.
• 1:14:46
  Like
• 1:14:48
  If they're going to test just lifting,
• 1:14:50
  I just don't agree with it.
• 1:14:52
  Not at this stage.
• 1:14:53
  Like,
• 1:14:53
  I'm totally fine with earning the lift.
• 1:14:56
  But this goes...
• 1:14:59
  Not only just lifting,
• 1:15:00
  you can't just have a gymnastics,
• 1:15:02
  just have a... We're not
• 1:15:05
  just... Just a single
• 1:15:06
  modality specialized
• 1:15:09
  workout as one of the four
• 1:15:11
  or five scored events can really skew.
• 1:15:15
  I want to see just couplets
• 1:15:17
  and triplets and...
• 1:15:19
  yeah like once testing just
• 1:15:21
  pure capacity one's got
• 1:15:22
  maybe uh you know gateways
• 1:15:25
  that you just kind of
• 1:15:25
  progress through stuff um
• 1:15:29
  you can have a great test
• 1:15:30
  still like that oh yeah
• 1:15:32
  like I love the workout
• 1:15:34
  eight I don't know 18.3 or
• 1:15:35
  whatever the ascending
• 1:15:37
  squat cleans with the total
• 1:15:39
  bar and the double under 19.2
• 1:15:42
  You,
• 1:15:43
  you had to be fit enough to get to the
• 1:15:45
  final barbell.
• 1:15:47
  Like those are great
• 1:15:48
  workouts and some people
• 1:15:50
  can't get there because
• 1:15:51
  they can't keep doing the
• 1:15:52
  double unders or the total bar.
• 1:15:53
  And some people just can't
• 1:15:54
  get past the fourth barbell
• 1:15:56
  weight and great.
• 1:15:57
  The top 40 are going to rise.
• 1:15:59
  Like those are perfect workouts.
• 1:16:02
  Or you get there and you
• 1:16:02
  have no grip strength left.
• 1:16:03
  So the bar just flies out of your hand.
• 1:16:06
  Okay.
• 1:16:09
  That's me.
• 1:16:10
  That's this guy.
• 1:16:10
  Yes.
• 1:16:10
  Ken preach.
• 1:16:12
  You want to lift heavy
• 1:16:13
  switch over to Olympic or power lifting,
• 1:16:15
  go to a, go to a lifting sport.
• 1:16:17
  If that's what you want to do.
• 1:16:20
  I think placed in the right spot,
• 1:16:22
  heavy lifts are a good thing,
• 1:16:25
  but I am not,
• 1:16:25
  I am not a big fan of just a one,
• 1:16:28
  unless you're at the games
• 1:16:29
  with 12 events or 15 events,
• 1:16:32
  like a one rep max on its
• 1:16:33
  own is just not something I
• 1:16:35
  want to see at this stage of the,
• 1:16:37
  of the competition.
• 1:16:38
  And like addressing, uh,
• 1:16:40
  Tristan's point here,
• 1:16:41
  like if you bring that one up, like,
• 1:16:43
  would you want,
• 1:16:44
  would you be okay with the
• 1:16:45
  lift of the other events?
• 1:16:46
  No, because I don't want single modalities,
• 1:16:49
  uh,
• 1:16:50
  all of them to be like single modality
• 1:16:52
  specialist type workouts here.
• 1:16:53
  We need.
• 1:16:55
  Mgw like couplets triplets, um,
• 1:16:59
  and really testing a broad,
• 1:17:01
  like broad things.
• 1:17:02
  Like, I don't,
• 1:17:02
  I don't think I want like that.
• 1:17:04
  Like,
• 1:17:04
  I don't think that would be a good test.
• 1:17:05
  It's very skewed towards specialists.
• 1:17:10
  And, uh, Mr. Young, if you just want,
• 1:17:14
  if you want just engine do high rocks.
• 1:17:16
  I have, I am considering it completely.
• 1:17:18
  I will see how this year's
• 1:17:20
  quarters and semis are programmed.
• 1:17:22
  And if they keep pushing just heavyweights,
• 1:17:24
  I will switch over to high
• 1:17:25
  rocks a hundred percent.
• 1:17:30
  And Tristan was just making a point.
• 1:17:32
  He was not,
• 1:17:33
  that's not what he believed in.
• 1:17:35
  So, all right.
• 1:17:37
  So quarterfinals actually,
• 1:17:39
  before we get on the air again next week,
• 1:17:42
  the team quarterfinals
• 1:17:44
  workouts will be released.
• 1:17:46
  They come out next Wednesday to start.
• 1:17:51
  Yes.
• 1:17:51
  Correct.
• 1:17:52
  Uh,
• 1:17:53
  Regretfully,
• 1:17:54
  Jamie's team did not make it
• 1:17:56
  on to quarterfinals.
• 1:17:58
  So we don't have an inside look at that.
• 1:18:01
  But we'll be watching.
• 1:18:03
  Who are you most excited to
• 1:18:05
  see how they do in quarterfinals?
• 1:18:14
  I don't know.
• 1:18:15
  Maybe Noah's team.
• 1:18:21
  I don't know enough about all the teams.
• 1:18:24
  I know there's Kara's team
• 1:18:27
  that's really good, Noah's,
• 1:18:30
  Chandler's team.
• 1:18:33
  guess I just I need to see
• 1:18:34
  the field because right now
• 1:18:36
  I feel like a lot of scores
• 1:18:37
  are getting counted on
• 1:18:39
  teams that probably aren't
• 1:18:40
  doing right so like that
• 1:18:41
  which which is what sucks
• 1:18:43
  right because I don't know
• 1:18:43
  where you guys finished
• 1:18:45
  finished jamie but are I'm
• 1:18:47
  sure you guys are getting
• 1:18:48
  affected by rosters that
• 1:18:49
  are pulling a bunch of
• 1:18:51
  different scores and like
• 1:18:55
  this is when we're going to
• 1:18:56
  see who are the actual
• 1:18:57
  members of a team um and
• 1:19:00
  jamie's team was really close
• 1:19:01
  Which sucks.
• 1:19:02
  I'm sure you guys are in if
• 1:19:04
  you take out half of the
• 1:19:07
  teams in front of you that
• 1:19:08
  aren't even using all their people.
• 1:19:10
  If they could have got one
• 1:19:11
  more male finisher on the third event,
• 1:19:15
  they'd be in.
• 1:19:17
  I think if we could have
• 1:19:17
  gotten five more reps, we'd be in.
• 1:19:19
  If he could have gotten five
• 1:19:21
  more muscle-ups at the end.
• 1:19:24
  Oh, well.
• 1:19:24
  It is what it is.
• 1:19:26
  Kenneth, no.
• 1:19:27
  Mayhem still has a team.
• 1:19:28
  Uh, Angelo, uh,
• 1:19:30
  three members are coming
• 1:19:31
  back from last year.
• 1:19:33
  They, um, they substituted, uh,
• 1:19:38
  what's her family?
• 1:19:40
  Yeah, not her,
• 1:19:41
  but they substituted the one
• 1:19:42
  that was Kyra with Molly McGrady, um,
• 1:19:45
  from Michigan.
• 1:19:47
  Uh, and, uh, yeah, the other,
• 1:19:50
  the other three are staying intact.
• 1:19:53
  So the team I'm most looking
• 1:19:55
  forward to has nothing to
• 1:19:56
  do with the top of the leaderboard.
• 1:19:57
  I just want to see them move on.
• 1:20:00
  And that is the underdogs team with my,
• 1:20:02
  one of my favorite people in the world,
• 1:20:03
  Mitch McLoone, uh,
• 1:20:05
  who is Mr. Carrie Pierce.
• 1:20:08
  Uh,
• 1:20:08
  he is putting together a team with
• 1:20:10
  Carson Wolf and, um, gosh,
• 1:20:16
  I knew them all.
• 1:20:16
  And now they just went out my head.
• 1:20:21
  I don't know who's on that team.
• 1:20:22
  We interviewed all of them
• 1:20:23
  last year for the piece.
• 1:20:26
  Um, and they put that team together.
• 1:20:28
  I love Mitch.
• 1:20:29
  Mitch is just one of my
• 1:20:30
  favorite people ever.
• 1:20:31
  And I want to see how well they do.
• 1:20:33
  Um, and those,
• 1:20:34
  the girls are young up and
• 1:20:36
  comers that a year on team
• 1:20:38
  is probably going to be
• 1:20:39
  really good for them.
• 1:20:43
  so super stoked for them and
• 1:20:46
  can't wait to see what
• 1:20:47
  they're doing plus it's
• 1:20:49
  going to be interesting to
• 1:20:50
  see kind of what these
• 1:20:51
  European teams because
• 1:20:52
  there's one that got put
• 1:20:53
  together right with Christoph Horvath
• 1:20:59
  Jamie, I think it's Jamie Simmons.
• 1:21:01
  Oh yes.
• 1:21:02
  And the strong girl.
• 1:21:03
  Oh my God.
• 1:21:04
  What's her name?
• 1:21:06
  Um, Mia.
• 1:21:08
  She's so strong.
• 1:21:09
  Yeah.
• 1:21:10
  That's going to be good.
• 1:21:12
  She's good.
• 1:21:13
  No, when we see quarterfinals,
• 1:21:14
  we'll only see them against their own.
• 1:21:17
  Will the leaderboard just be
• 1:21:18
  their own region?
• 1:21:20
  Correct.
• 1:21:23
  Okay.
• 1:21:25
  We may need to get Holly on
• 1:21:26
  like making a combined one
• 1:21:28
  just for shits and giggles
• 1:21:31
  to kind of see how everybody's doing.
• 1:21:34
  Yeah.
• 1:21:36
  I would think she'd be able
• 1:21:37
  to do that fairly easily.
• 1:21:40
  So anything else about the team,
• 1:21:42
  any workouts?
• 1:21:44
  I, I cannot predict workouts.
• 1:21:46
  I know for teams at this point,
• 1:21:49
  there is no worm.
• 1:21:50
  So it's,
• 1:21:51
  how do you figure out like
• 1:21:53
  teamwork at this stage?
• 1:21:55
  Probably some synchro stuff.
• 1:21:59
  I'm probably,
• 1:21:59
  there's going to be a relay style.
• 1:22:03
  Yup.
• 1:22:04
  Yeah.
• 1:22:05
  Yeah.
• 1:22:06
  I talked about this at the
• 1:22:07
  end of the versus Haley and
• 1:22:09
  I were talking about it,
• 1:22:10
  about missing out and what
• 1:22:11
  we might do this week.
• 1:22:12
  And we said maybe when the
• 1:22:13
  workouts come out,
• 1:22:14
  especially if there is a
• 1:22:16
  female female pairing,
• 1:22:17
  maybe we'll still do it.
• 1:22:19
  Um, and I'm just very curious to see him.
• 1:22:22
  Cause usually there's like
• 1:22:24
  one workout that is very
• 1:22:26
  similar to the individuals.
• 1:22:28
  Like they did the pairing of the clean,
• 1:22:31
  heavy clean and jerks.
• 1:22:32
  And I don't know if they're,
• 1:22:34
  they're burpy backs, jump over was in it,
• 1:22:36
  but like they have a one
• 1:22:38
  work that like mimics the individual.
• 1:22:40
  So I'm just curious to see
• 1:22:42
  the team workouts and see
• 1:22:43
  if we can glean anything from them.
• 1:22:47
  yeah it's gonna be fun uh
• 1:22:51
  we'll have lots to talk
• 1:22:52
  about next week because
• 1:22:53
  those workouts will be out
• 1:22:55
  yeah probably see some
• 1:22:56
  youtube stuff yeah and I
• 1:23:00
  want to finish up with next
• 1:23:02
  week we're starting a new
• 1:23:03
  or this week starting a new
• 1:23:04
  show easter night um and it
• 1:23:11
  is if you've not seen it
• 1:23:13
  out on youtube yet
• 1:23:16
  The zombie Clydesdale weekend retest.
• 1:23:21
  And this is going to be a
• 1:23:22
  look back at the week that
• 1:23:23
  was in our little bit of news,
• 1:23:30
  a little bit of humor,
• 1:23:30
  a little bit of stuff like that.
• 1:23:35
  It's going to be fun.
• 1:23:37
  It's going to be Sunday nights.
• 1:23:39
  What time?
• 1:23:40
  I think it's going to be
• 1:23:41
  Sunday nights at 8 is what
• 1:23:42
  we're shooting for.
• 1:23:43
  We were doing that with
• 1:23:45
  Jamie and the open workouts
• 1:23:48
  and going over them.
• 1:23:49
  So we're just going to keep
• 1:23:50
  that time slot because
• 1:23:52
  there's nothing else going
• 1:23:53
  on on Sunday nights.
• 1:23:55
  And it lets you look back at
• 1:23:56
  the week that was before
• 1:23:58
  you head into the week that
• 1:23:59
  it is going to be.
• 1:24:01
  Awesome.
• 1:24:04
  And we've got some content
• 1:24:05
  already brewing to hand out
• 1:24:08
  and I can't wait to share it.
• 1:24:11
  First week will probably be
• 1:24:12
  a train wreck as we're
• 1:24:13
  trying to figure out timing
• 1:24:14
  and all that kind of stuff.
• 1:24:15
  But hey, that might be fun too.
• 1:24:18
  But yeah,
• 1:24:19
  it's definitely going to be an
• 1:24:20
  interesting take on some things.
• 1:24:22
  If you follow WAD Zombie on Instagram,
• 1:24:25
  you know his sense of humor.
• 1:24:27
  So we like to call it a
• 1:24:30
  combination of Weekend
• 1:24:31
  Update from Saturday Night
• 1:24:32
  Live and like The Daily
• 1:24:35
  Show or John Oliver.
• 1:24:38
  And then Kenneth,
• 1:24:39
  I think last time I talked to him,
• 1:24:41
  said Tosh 2.0 or Tosh .0.
• 1:24:45
  Something like that.
• 1:24:47
  So it's going to be similar to that,
• 1:24:49
  but done around the CrossFit, pop culture,
• 1:24:52
  and probably a little bit
• 1:24:53
  of news that we seem to think is funny.
• 1:24:57
  So with that, anything to add, guys,
• 1:25:00
  before we get off the air?
• 1:25:03
  Nope.
• 1:25:06
  I riffed enough.
• 1:25:09
  All right.
• 1:25:09
  Well,
• 1:25:10
  we will catch everybody next week on
