- 2:10you know when your kid like
- 2:11has success like that it
- 2:13it's better than anything
- 2:14you do yeah for sure
- 2:19speaking of networking so
- 2:23I'm I'm I'm handling this single thing.
- 2:27I'm doing like a three pronged approach.
- 2:29Right.
- 2:30So we're trying to meet
- 2:32people in the wild.
- 2:33That's not happening.
- 2:34People do not approach me in person,
- 2:37in public.
- 2:38I have a whole bunch of
- 2:39girlfriends that I've been
- 2:40going out with dinners, you know,
- 2:42not crazy bars like nice
- 2:44bars where you pick up like nice people.
- 2:45I've been going to CrossFit
- 2:47as much as I can and all that.
- 2:49Nothing's really come of that.
- 2:50Um, number two of the dating apps,
- 2:52which is a fricking dumpster fire.
- 2:54Um, I've matched with probably like,
- 2:58twenty people.
- 2:59I've probably talked to
- 3:00maybe six people and I've
- 3:02gone on three first dates.
- 3:04So, and I'm getting really good at, um,
- 3:09being honest and open with
- 3:10people like after the date
- 3:12via text that like,
- 3:13I don't think it's a connection.
- 3:14I'm still working on the
- 3:15face to face at the end of the date,
- 3:17admitting that it's not a
- 3:18good connection.
- 3:18That's really hard for me to do.
- 3:21Um, but you know,
- 3:23they've all ended with hugs, you know,
- 3:25and there's nothing,
- 3:26it's not like we're like
- 3:27doing anything more than that.
- 3:29Um, but, uh, but yeah,
- 3:32so I have date number,
- 3:34I have my first date number four tonight,
- 3:38so we'll see how that goes.
- 3:40But, um, here's the problem.
- 3:42Here's one of the problems to commiserate.
- 3:48Um,
- 3:50I think I want to date
- 3:52someone that does CrossFit.
- 3:53Like,
- 3:54I really think I would like to date
- 3:55someone that does this sport,
- 3:56that understands the
- 3:58wackiness and all of that.
- 4:00Everybody,
- 4:02at least that I've seen on
- 4:03dating apps that says they do CrossFit,
- 4:07they are all polyamorous.
- 4:09All of them, every single one of them.
- 4:13What?
- 4:14I didn't know that was a thing.
- 4:17But all of them are like
- 4:18ethically non-monogamous or
- 4:20have a girlfriend or
- 4:21looking for a third or just
- 4:24want intimacy with no commitment.
- 4:28What?
- 4:30What is happening?
- 4:31Is that only on certain apps
- 4:32or is that on?
- 4:34All three of the apps that I am on.
- 4:36I'm on like Bumble, I'm on Facebook dating,
- 4:38and then I'm on like a
- 4:39fitness singles thing.
- 4:44Um, it's the same thing,
- 4:45but she gets it from
- 4:46hanging out behind the truck stop.
- 4:53Yeah.
- 4:53Competitive or recreation.
- 4:54It doesn't matter.
- 4:55I just want to, I like when I got divorced,
- 5:00it felt like I went on
- 5:02every date that I went on
- 5:03from a dating app ended up
- 5:04being a couple dates.
- 5:06Like it wasn't a hard, no, the first time.
- 5:09Um,
- 5:09And I think I met Mike on like my,
- 5:11he was like my third match
- 5:13on online dating.
- 5:14Like it wasn't,
- 5:14it didn't take long or
- 5:16anything like that.
- 5:17And this time around,
- 5:19it's just been crazy.
- 5:22I don't know.
- 5:24I know what I'm looking for.
- 5:25Like I'm very particular in like what,
- 5:29what I want.
- 5:30Maybe that's the problem.
- 5:32I like that you're not
- 5:32afraid to shoot your shot.
- 5:34Oh my gosh, no.
- 5:35Oh yeah.
- 5:36So that's,
- 5:38That's so number two, what did we say?
- 5:40We said in the wild,
- 5:41not working dating apps, you know,
- 5:44not the thing.
- 5:45Third thing is I have been
- 5:46sending texts to, first of all,
- 5:49to couples that I know are,
- 5:52have a great relationship
- 5:53and maybe have friends that are single.
- 5:56you know,
- 5:56that maybe they're not aware that
- 5:57I'm single because I haven't, you know,
- 5:58reached out to them in a while.
- 6:00It's so good that you
- 6:01clarified that because just a second ago.
- 6:03I know.
- 6:06I've been sending texts to
- 6:07couples and weird that they've been.
- 6:08Well, what I meant was like,
- 6:11I'm making sure that if I
- 6:12know like a guy from
- 6:13CrossFit who's married,
- 6:14I'm sending the text to him
- 6:15and his wife because I
- 6:16don't want it to seem like
- 6:17I'm hitting on the guy.
- 6:18Like I,
- 6:19and I think that's just respectful.
- 6:20If you know someone that has
- 6:21like in a relationship,
- 6:23send it to both of them.
- 6:23So I've been sending these
- 6:24group chats to these couples.
- 6:26saying, hey, you know me, you know,
- 6:28this is what I'm looking for.
- 6:30You know,
- 6:30if you happen to run into anybody,
- 6:32you know, single, whatever, like,
- 6:33please keep me in mind.
- 6:34And I've sent out like seven
- 6:36of those texts.
- 6:37I've gotten like four responses, like,
- 6:39oh my gosh, that's great.
- 6:40You know, can't wait to help you out,
- 6:41whatever.
- 6:42I've gotten three like non-responses.
- 6:44They're probably like, what the fuck, Kat?
- 6:48And I've even reached out to
- 6:49guys that I've had my eye
- 6:51on that I've just like, hey,
- 6:53I want to get to know you better.
- 6:54What do you think?
- 6:55So
- 6:56I'm just being very...
- 6:59You're putting yourself out there.
- 7:01Yeah, it's fun.
- 7:02So CrossFat is taking advantage of this.
- 7:04He's doing a soft launch.
- 7:05He's starting a polyamorous
- 7:07CrossFit dating app called
- 7:08I've Got Plenty of Fish But Need More.
- 7:13So I have a couple questions
- 7:14since you're in the book.
- 7:17I've got to know.
- 7:19One, I thought we discussed,
- 7:21maybe it was two weeks ago
- 7:22that you were not going to
- 7:23go the dating app route
- 7:24this time because of the
- 7:27dumpster fire that it can be.
- 7:30You threw that in the garbage.
- 7:32Yeah.
- 7:33I mean, I have this little,
- 7:34I have a little bit of a
- 7:35scarcity mentality when it comes to that.
- 7:38And I just,
- 7:39because the other two avenues
- 7:41have run dry or not really working.
- 7:44I mean,
- 7:44I'm not like going to the gym right
- 7:46now and,
- 7:49Yeah, I lied.
- 7:50I don't know.
- 7:51Question number two.
- 7:53You're going on your fourth first date,
- 7:56and it's been about a week
- 7:57since you've been texting us this.
- 8:00Well, yeah, I've been single a month.
- 8:00I've been single over a month officially.
- 8:06I don't know what even when
- 8:07I was seventeen, eighteen,
- 8:08if I went on four first
- 8:10dates that fast and I've
- 8:13been married for almost thirty years.
- 8:15So I've been completely out of this game.
- 8:18Is there a,
- 8:20a feeling as you get older that
- 8:23you've got to get it in
- 8:24quicker or is it just.
- 8:29So for me, um, here's,
- 8:32here's some mistakes I've
- 8:33made in the past.
- 8:34I have texted with people
- 8:36for two or three weeks,
- 8:39gotten to really like them over text,
- 8:43met them in person, zero chemistry.
- 8:46And I just wasted three weeks of my life.
- 8:49Like I would rather meet someone sooner.
- 8:51It's why I want to meet
- 8:52people in the wild.
- 8:53Like I want to meet people in person,
- 8:55like at a bar or whatever,
- 8:56because you just get that
- 8:57vibe from the get-go and
- 8:58then you can decide whether
- 8:59you want to text or not.
- 9:00But in the dating online dating world,
- 9:03all you do is text and it's great.
- 9:05You can have great banter with someone.
- 9:07You can think they're
- 9:07intelligent and ask good
- 9:08questions and all that,
- 9:10but you can't really get.
- 9:12Like a vibe.
- 9:13And what's happened to me is
- 9:14all three of these guys that I date,
- 9:16that I went on a first date with,
- 9:18I was very excited.
- 9:19Well,
- 9:19I was like excited about two out of
- 9:21the three.
- 9:22Like I was excited to meet them.
- 9:24Um,
- 9:24and really like had some high hopes and
- 9:27then I don't know what it is.
- 9:28I just meet and there are things,
- 9:30here's an example.
- 9:31The guy that I went on a hike with,
- 9:33we went, I met his dog.
- 9:34We went on a hike outside.
- 9:36It was great.
- 9:36The weather was beautiful.
- 9:38He was ahead of me the
- 9:39entire time on the hike, which was fine.
- 9:41I mean, it was like a narrow trail.
- 9:43but there were a couple of
- 9:43places where there was like
- 9:45this giant tree that we had
- 9:46to climb over and he
- 9:48climbed over the tree and
- 9:49just kept walking.
- 9:50I kept talking,
- 9:51like didn't turn around to
- 9:53like make sure I was okay.
- 9:55Like not that I needed help,
- 9:56but it would have been nice to feel like,
- 9:58oh, you know,
- 9:59he wants to make sure I'm
- 9:59going to get over this log or whatever.
- 10:03That was a total turnoff for me.
- 10:05And we came back the same
- 10:06way and it happened a
- 10:07second time on the way back, you know,
- 10:09on the, over that same tree.
- 10:10And I'm thinking, okay, that's just not,
- 10:13what I'm looking for.
- 10:16You are looking for a
- 10:17CrossFitter and they are
- 10:18going to make it a competition.
- 10:19He probably was doing it for time.
- 10:23He was not a CrossFitter.
- 10:25Let's not do that anymore.
- 10:27Hikes.
- 10:28I didn't bring my firearm with me either.
- 10:35I feel like I'm giving off
- 10:36an outdoorsy vibe that I'm
- 10:38not a hundred percent outdoorsy.
- 10:40I'm outdoorsy-ish but I am not
- 10:43Like every single second, go, go, go, go,
- 10:45go.
- 10:45Like I like,
- 10:46I could spend an entire
- 10:47weekend on the couch with a
- 10:48pint of ice cream and
- 10:49Netflix and be totally okay with that.
- 10:53So there's that.
- 10:55So I'm changing my profile a little bit.
- 10:57I'm trying to change up the
- 10:57picture so that it's not just me in every,
- 10:59you know,
- 11:01national park that Mike and I
- 11:03vacationed at because I
- 11:04think that gives off a different vibe.
- 11:07Where's the adjacent?
- 11:07Exactly.
- 11:09Trish, my age range is anywhere from like,
- 11:12Realistically,
- 11:12probably like forty five to fifty five.
- 11:17Here's the problem.
- 11:19I'm attracted to the younger guys,
- 11:20obviously, like just I just am.
- 11:23But they have little kids
- 11:24and I don't really want to
- 11:25be with someone that has a
- 11:26little kid like my kids are up and out.
- 11:28I want high school at the youngest.
- 11:32High school at the youngest kids.
- 11:34Yeah.
- 11:35And it seems like the
- 11:35younger guys are the
- 11:37younger guys just want to have sex.
- 11:39And I'm not interested in that.
- 11:40Like I I want to.
- 11:43have something more than that.
- 11:44And the older guys were just old, like, Oh,
- 11:47they seem really old.
- 11:48How about a silver Fox?
- 11:51So my date tonight is with a
- 11:52silver Fox actually.
- 11:53Okay.
- 11:53All right.
- 11:54Yeah.
- 11:55Here's the, here's the really funny part.
- 11:56He had back surgery like two
- 11:58weeks ago and he can't drive.
- 12:01He had a, uh, just, just to me, just to me,
- 12:05um, just got his stitches out on Tuesday.
- 12:07So like the two of us are
- 12:08going to be quite the pair.
- 12:10He's like, yeah, I'll cut your food.
- 12:11You'll have to count me out of that.
- 12:13Help me out of the chair,
- 12:14but he used to do CrossFit.
- 12:16He did CrossFit before COVID
- 12:17and he told me he had a sub
- 12:19four minute Fran time.
- 12:22So is he willing to get back into it?
- 12:26Uh, well with the back recovery,
- 12:27I'm not sure he's a big golfer.
- 12:29He's big in the golf and he
- 12:30belongs to a country club
- 12:31close to where I live.
- 12:33Um, so he is,
- 12:36I think he's like mid fifties,
- 12:38a little older than me.
- 12:40Yeah.
- 12:40Trish.
- 12:40Thank you.
- 12:41I'm fifty-two unfortunately.
- 12:44So yeah.
- 12:46So that's tonight.
- 12:47Look at CrossFit.
- 12:49It's going to wipe.
- 12:50Right.
- 12:51He can't bend over and I
- 12:52can't use this hand, but guys,
- 12:54this is the,
- 12:55this is the hair for the date.
- 12:56This is as good as it's
- 12:57going to get with my one armed.
- 12:59It looks good.
- 13:00My one armed curling iron.
- 13:02So,
- 13:03and the only other thing is my wardrobe
- 13:05is very limited,
- 13:06like short sleeves and it's cold today.
- 13:09So.
- 13:09Oh, it's beautiful here today.
- 13:11Yeah.
- 13:13So anyway, so that's my thing.
- 13:17I have to go to a meeting now at work,
- 13:18but I wanted to check in
- 13:19and let everyone know,
- 13:20and I'll keep you posted
- 13:21because this is really fun.
- 13:22I'm having a good time with it.
- 13:23I'm trying to be a good sport.
- 13:26So glad you could join us
- 13:27for Dating with Kat.
- 13:29Yes.
- 13:30Stay tuned.
- 13:31This will be the open of our
- 13:33show for the next few weeks.
- 13:36I might make my own show.
- 13:37I could only maybe have my
- 13:38own little thing.
- 13:41We'll have to talk about it.
- 13:43I'm going to try to leave
- 13:45the studio and not end the stream.
- 13:46Okay.
- 13:47Well, that's hard to do.
- 13:50See you guys.
- 13:50Love you.
- 13:50Bye bye.
- 13:54Scott.
- 13:55Yes.
- 13:56Do you think this workout was leaked?
- 14:01Uh, yes.
- 14:04Okay.
- 14:04Let's talk about what we think it is.
- 14:07I think it is.
- 14:14um I think it is wall walks
- 14:16deadlifts in row fifty
- 14:18calorie row in between okay
- 14:21um with twenty five wall
- 14:25walks fifty calorie row
- 14:28twenty five deadlifts fifty
- 14:30calorie row okay and I hope
- 14:32it's not I hope it I hope
- 14:34the leak is a fake because
- 14:36I'm tired of leaks I'm really just
- 14:39But also I do hope rowing only,
- 14:42only because I don't want to row,
- 14:44but because that's the movement, I guess,
- 14:46in our competition.
- 14:47And I hope that I get some
- 14:48points from that.
- 14:50Got you.
- 14:52Yeah.
- 14:54CrossFit wants to know,
- 14:55do you think a viewer will DM Kat?
- 14:56I am sure that she is getting DMs.
- 15:05Yeah.
- 15:06One, I'm excited about today.
- 15:09Someone scheduled a freaking
- 15:10meeting for me right at
- 15:11three o'clock today,
- 15:12which really pissed me off
- 15:13because now I have to watch
- 15:15on tape delay.
- 15:17But I'm excited about the competition.
- 15:20I'm excited about Dallin
- 15:21versus James versus Jason.
- 15:23And Tyson Bajent,
- 15:25my Chicago Bears backup quarterback,
- 15:26is going to throw down with them,
- 15:29which I think is fun.
- 15:30I'm excited about all that.
- 15:32And I think that the leaked
- 15:34workout would be a fun
- 15:35workout to watch them do.
- 15:38but I don't want it to be,
- 15:39I don't want it to be the leaked workout.
- 15:41I'm just tired of it.
- 15:44You remember like the early
- 15:45days when we started the open,
- 15:47how excited we got for the
- 15:48open announcements.
- 15:51Yeah, totally.
- 15:55I mean that first year,
- 15:55like Mikey and Springs and
- 15:57I would sit in my basement
- 15:58waiting for the announcement every week.
- 16:05And yeah,
- 16:08Yeah.
- 16:08I'm just, who knows?
- 16:09I mean, yeah,
- 16:10I hope it's not leaked just cause I'm,
- 16:12I'm, I'm sick of that too.
- 16:13And I want that excitement and yeah.
- 16:20Yeah.
- 16:20Have they come out to
- 16:21respond to the leak before?
- 16:26Dave did in his weekend review,
- 16:28talk to it.
- 16:29What'd he say?
- 16:30Um, he didn't say a lot.
- 16:32He said that like last week
- 16:33there was a lot of talk
- 16:34around the workout being leaked.
- 16:37Um,
- 16:37he said it was because his clue was
- 16:39easy to figure out.
- 16:40Like most of his clues are,
- 16:42which is total horseshit.
- 16:44That's the only one I've
- 16:44ever seen that actually
- 16:46equaled a clue that I knew.
- 16:47Right.
- 16:48Exactly.
- 16:49Yeah.
- 16:50Um,
- 16:52And then he said that he has
- 16:53seen some iterations of
- 16:54this week's workout and he
- 16:56would not confirm nor deny,
- 16:58but you'll know on Thursday
- 16:59if you were right or wrong.
- 17:00Okay.
- 17:02Great.
- 17:02And he said it in a way like
- 17:04you think you know it.
- 17:07But do you really know it?
- 17:08Do you really know it?
- 17:09Yeah.
- 17:12But we'll see.
- 17:13We'll see.
- 17:14Maybe he's just trying to
- 17:15add suspense where there is
- 17:16none because it's been leaked.
- 17:18I don't know.
- 17:21But, uh,
- 17:23But yeah, um,
- 17:31Sousa's chat with Dallin this,
- 17:32this AM was really good.
- 17:33I have not caught it yet.
- 17:35I've had like just stupid
- 17:37amounts of meetings this week.
- 17:39Uh,
- 17:39so it's really like bit into my getting
- 17:41to watch CrossFit or listen
- 17:43to CrossFit podcasts.
- 17:48Yeah.
- 17:48I'm curious,
- 17:51but I guess we'll find out soon enough.
- 17:52Right.
- 17:54Yeah.
- 17:57I wanted to give a huge
- 17:57shout out to our stats and info person,
- 18:00Holly.
- 18:01Yesterday,
- 18:02we talked about what she found
- 18:04with the double winners
- 18:05through twenty five
- 18:06different divisions for
- 18:08weeks one and two.
- 18:10And does that mean the
- 18:11programming is to water
- 18:13down if the same people are
- 18:14winning weeks one and week two?
- 18:18That got featured on the spin last night.
- 18:22Um, her, her charts.
- 18:24So super proud of her.
- 18:25She's done an amazing job
- 18:27with the stats and that she
- 18:28found that and send it to
- 18:31us and posted it on our stuff.
- 18:33Uh, she's the best.
- 18:34And so I wanted to give her
- 18:35a shout out for that.
- 18:36Nice.
- 18:39Um,
- 18:40the other thing that's happening is
- 18:43CrossFit's up for sale.
- 18:45Yeah.
- 18:48And there's a lot of speculation.
- 18:52There was speculation a couple weeks ago.
- 18:55Susan did a show where he,
- 18:57I've called it like the red
- 18:58yarn and a neat push pins
- 19:01in the cork board show.
- 19:04Tied all these things together.
- 19:07Now it's up for sale.
- 19:10What intrigues me the most
- 19:12about this is it is a private company.
- 19:15They do not have shareholders.
- 19:17There is no need to announce
- 19:21that you're selling.
- 19:23You could have done all this
- 19:24behind the scenes and
- 19:27you're not required to
- 19:29announce any of it.
- 19:32And last night I was sitting
- 19:33there thinking, I wonder,
- 19:36as we're going through NFL free agency,
- 19:38a lot of times when a
- 19:39player and a team come to
- 19:41like a part in the
- 19:42negotiations where they
- 19:44can't come to an agreement,
- 19:46the team will say,
- 19:47we give you permission to
- 19:49go seek a trade.
- 19:51And you go out in the market
- 19:53and see what you're worth.
- 19:56And a lot of times the
- 19:58player realizes their
- 20:00asking price isn't what the
- 20:02market would say it was.
- 20:06And so they come back at that lower price.
- 20:09I think this might be the exact opposite.
- 20:11I think CrossFit got down
- 20:12the road with Whoop,
- 20:14and they're trying to lowball them.
- 20:16And so now they're putting it out.
- 20:18Hey, we're up for sale.
- 20:19Did you say Whoop?
- 20:20Whoop.
- 20:22I did not say.
- 20:23Oh, okay.
- 20:23So it sounded like you said
- 20:24something and then it, sorry,
- 20:24it like sound on my end wasn't good.
- 20:27So I think that they got a
- 20:30low bid offer from whoever it is.
- 20:33Oh,
- 20:33now they're saying from the group and
- 20:36now they're saying, Hey,
- 20:37we're up for sale and we're
- 20:38taking bids to see if they
- 20:39can get that price driven back up.
- 20:45Yeah.
- 20:45Um,
- 20:46and then I watched the spin just before
- 20:48we got on air and I saw that, um,
- 20:53that spin thought the same
- 20:54thing to some degree so uh
- 21:01and halpin said he just got
- 21:03off the affiliate call
- 21:04about twelve minutes long
- 21:05yes got it this seems
- 21:06exactly like that so wow I
- 21:11didn't go to the talent
- 21:12that I know that the town
- 21:14hall was exactly when we
- 21:15were on the air so we
- 21:17wouldn't be able to jump in but um
- 21:21But yeah, that,
- 21:21that was my thought just
- 21:22thinking about it.
- 21:23Cause there's no need for
- 21:24them to make this public
- 21:25and there's no need for them to say, Hey,
- 21:27we're taking bids.
- 21:29And there's all this,
- 21:30this circumstantial
- 21:31evidence saying that
- 21:32there's already a buyer
- 21:34kind of interested in, in place.
- 21:36That's what I think they, uh,
- 21:38so I thought they were
- 21:39trying to drive up the price.
- 21:40Yeah.
- 21:40It sounds like it.
- 21:44What are,
- 21:45do you have any overall thoughts
- 21:46about the sale?
- 21:46Not really.
- 21:52I just want it to not be a
- 21:54private equity company.
- 21:55I want it to not be run by a board.
- 21:57I want it to go back to a private owner.
- 22:00Um,
- 22:03that doesn't think that's in for the
- 22:05longterm and not for the
- 22:07short term profit.
- 22:08Yeah.
- 22:09I mean, of course,
- 22:11cause we're also looking, I mean, well,
- 22:12I'm looking at it more emotionally,
- 22:14right.
- 22:14Just because it's something I love,
- 22:16but you know, that we'll see.
- 22:22Um, yeah.
- 22:26And then I've heard rumors that, well,
- 22:29I don't even know if I
- 22:29wanted to go down this path,
- 22:32but I've heard rumors that
- 22:33the WFP is actually
- 22:35offering affiliates to what
- 22:38they're putting together.
- 22:40And if you didn't want to
- 22:41stay with CrossFit,
- 22:42you could go over to WFP
- 22:43and join them for like a
- 22:45two thousand dollar
- 22:46affiliate fee as opposed to
- 22:47a forty five hundred.
- 22:51I have not seen that.
- 22:52I have not heard that directly.
- 22:54I've just heard rumors.
- 22:55Okay.
- 22:56This is the whole thing though.
- 22:57But with an affiliate fee,
- 22:59what you are getting,
- 23:00you're not buying a franchise.
- 23:02An affiliate fee is the
- 23:04right to use the CrossFit name, the brand,
- 23:08right?
- 23:09And the brand is, is this methodology it's,
- 23:13you know, so like,
- 23:14so that does bother me
- 23:15about world WFP because
- 23:19that was not their word.
- 23:22correct so that that gives
- 23:25me if that's true I really
- 23:27if it's true I've lost a
- 23:28lot of respect for the wfp
- 23:31they're falling in my in my
- 23:32graces anyway because of
- 23:33the the shit I'm dealing
- 23:35with with the media passes
- 23:37but um but if they do that
- 23:40like I will lose a lot of
- 23:41respect yeah and I have
- 23:44been one of the bigger
- 23:45supporters of hey let's see
- 23:47it play out let's see what
- 23:49they're putting together um
- 23:53Yeah.
- 23:59Well,
- 23:59I'm going to wait to comment on that
- 24:00until there's further information,
- 24:01but that's my initial reaction.
- 24:06I'm trying to look through
- 24:07the comments here.
- 24:08They're coming in pretty fast.
- 24:09But I do know that I know it
- 24:14was said in here.
- 24:14I'm trying to find the name.
- 24:16Chris, what's his last name?
- 24:19uh, from two brain, uh, made a post.
- 24:22It's supposed to be really good.
- 24:23I've not had a chance to go
- 24:24look at it yet.
- 24:25Chris Cooper.
- 24:26That's what it is.
- 24:27Chris Cooper, uh, from two brain, uh,
- 24:29who helps affiliates kind
- 24:31of maximize their profits and all that.
- 24:34Um, he put a post out, um,
- 24:37that's supposed to be really cool, um,
- 24:39with some things like that.
- 24:42So yeah,
- 24:43I'm going to go check that out
- 24:44sometime this afternoon.
- 24:47Yes, sir.
- 24:48I saw that they had the
- 24:49media pass application.
- 24:52I actually have it up on my
- 24:53other screen right now.
- 24:56I'm going to apply via the application,
- 24:59but the fact that they're
- 25:00giving preferential
- 25:01treatment to others and
- 25:03giving them the link early
- 25:05and not responding to any
- 25:06of my emails is just very,
- 25:10very upsetting.
- 25:13Yeah, this is what concerns me too.
- 25:15I'm a big Saxon fan,
- 25:17and he is the head of
- 25:19community development.
- 25:22So that makes me wonder if
- 25:23he's part of this affiliate community,
- 25:27if it is in fact an
- 25:28affiliate community that
- 25:30they're trying to form.
- 25:34So yeah, I wanted to make sure we hit,
- 25:36at least touched on the news of the day,
- 25:38because I know you've got
- 25:40your daughter home and you
- 25:42need to run to that.
- 25:43And we've only got about
- 25:44five minutes left.
- 25:46How did your twenty five point two go?
- 25:47Shitty.
- 25:53Thanks for asking.
- 25:54Next.
- 25:54OK, I'll tell you about it.
- 25:56First of all, it sucked.
- 25:59First of all,
- 26:00like just the lung metallic bleeding,
- 26:02tasting.
- 26:05fucking terrible.
- 26:06Number two, this is my fault as an athlete,
- 26:10but I'm going to give you
- 26:12an explanation of why I
- 26:13didn't do as well as I wanted to.
- 26:14Okay.
- 26:16I was doing Friday night lights.
- 26:18Yeah.
- 26:18I was set up across from
- 26:21somebody who is a very tall athlete.
- 26:23Um, and I have a very large kip.
- 26:29And I was shortening my kip
- 26:33on bar muscle ups so that I
- 26:34wouldn't hit this athlete.
- 26:37And when I was doing that,
- 26:39I kept failing my bar muscle ups.
- 26:43So now what I mean by that
- 26:45is my fault because as an athlete,
- 26:47I should have a better kip
- 26:48so that that's not an
- 26:49interference that would
- 26:51create the problem, right?
- 26:54So therefore I'm not as fit.
- 26:56I am forty six years old.
- 26:59I did, in twenty-two,
- 27:00I got thirteen bar muscle-ups.
- 27:03This time I got four bar muscle-ups.
- 27:05So... Corey's gonna pick them.
- 27:12I know.
- 27:13Could I have redone it?
- 27:15Yes, but for what purpose?
- 27:16So I could get a few more bar muscle-ups.
- 27:19I also,
- 27:20after feeling that way on the
- 27:21ground afterwards, I was like,
- 27:22I don't want to feel that way again.
- 27:24I don't like that feeling.
- 27:25No thanks.
- 27:25So...
- 27:28I actually that workout
- 27:30started with the second set of thrusters.
- 27:32That's where you were like, this sucks.
- 27:34Go ahead.
- 27:39You drop an F bomb,
- 27:40but you won't say balls.
- 27:41I know.
- 27:42Okay, I didn't realize I said that.
- 27:45But um,
- 27:49so I did better than but it it's
- 27:53apples to oranges.
- 27:55like I was in bad
- 27:56conditioning at that point
- 27:58um uh I I did foundations
- 28:01in um and I I did upright
- 28:07rows in the first round I
- 28:09did jumping pull-ups in the
- 28:10second and got to uh the
- 28:13end of the second round and
- 28:14then couldn't get any pull-ups after that
- 28:18This year I did it scaled,
- 28:21started with jumping pull-ups.
- 28:23It was jumping chest-to-bar
- 28:24actually to end last year
- 28:26in twenty-two and I couldn't get any.
- 28:28So this year I did scaled,
- 28:30I did jumping pull-ups,
- 28:32went into jumping chest-to-bar.
- 28:34I got zero jumping
- 28:35chest-to-bar in foundations.
- 28:37I got all of the jumping
- 28:38chest-to-bar this year.
- 28:40nice I got the same number
- 28:43but up a level sure and I
- 28:45did it I got to the last
- 28:48barbell or the rig movement
- 28:50with a minute faster yeah
- 28:54so I was really happy with
- 28:55my progress I wanted to add
- 28:58some sorry I just saw
- 29:00corey's comment it made me
- 29:02think of what I texted the
- 29:03group yesterday about corey yeah
- 29:07so I'll just I'll share it
- 29:08here so I was corey I was
- 29:09listening to the lunch with
- 29:10clydesdale um and I heard
- 29:14you say something I heard
- 29:17you discussing your um here
- 29:20was it I totally caught you
- 29:21first refer to your wife as
- 29:23your mother and then you
- 29:25went back and you changed
- 29:26that when you were talking
- 29:27about um your vacations and
- 29:29all that stuff planning and
- 29:30I was like of course now
- 29:32that's some freud right there so
- 29:37just thought it was uh was
- 29:38funny listening to that
- 29:39like oh oh caught himself
- 29:42yeah um hanging out with
- 29:46corey on wednesdays has
- 29:47become a blast um trying to
- 29:49understand the cajun accent
- 29:51I'm getting a little bit
- 29:53better every week uh but
- 29:55sometimes it rolls so fast
- 29:58it just you know yeah you
- 30:01sure did you said something
- 30:02like well when I was
- 30:02talking to my mother wife I i
- 30:05Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 30:10So that's some Freudian slips right there.
- 30:14Yeah, that's getting to be a fun one.
- 30:19I actually, we, we have a, you know,
- 30:22I try to do top five
- 30:23Tuesday and have like a guest on.
- 30:26And we,
- 30:27I think we're going to do one with
- 30:28Andrew Sten and Jeffrey Birchfield.
- 30:32There are two judges in the
- 30:33space and we're going to do
- 30:34the top five hardest movements to judge.
- 30:39And I just want to see what the,
- 30:40if they come up with similar lists or
- 30:45Um,
- 30:45if it's different and what's the
- 30:47difference between online,
- 30:49like at an affiliate and, or,
- 30:52or in a video and in person.
- 30:55So I'd be curious for you
- 30:56guys to talk about this
- 30:57because I didn't know until
- 30:59recently until I saw Jay
- 31:01Birch post about the
- 31:02advanced judges course.
- 31:03And so I took the advanced
- 31:05judges course because number one,
- 31:06I need CEUs anyways.
- 31:08But two, I was just curious.
- 31:11I thought that one was the
- 31:12advanced course was way
- 31:14easier than the regular one.
- 31:16Like, like to me,
- 31:21I know what you guys were in here.
- 31:23I wonder what their impressions were.
- 31:25Totally curious because like
- 31:28it seemed like I didn't
- 31:29even like I could just be like looking,
- 31:31you know, like, oh,
- 31:32and answer the question.
- 31:33So.
- 31:34Yeah, I would be curious for that.
- 31:39Yeah,
- 31:39I didn't take any of the judges
- 31:40courses this year.
- 31:41Like I used to do it just to
- 31:43keep kind of all my
- 31:44credentials up because I have my one.
- 31:47And if with all the judges course,
- 31:48I could judge at different events.
- 31:50But I am really I think like
- 31:52I am done done of ever,
- 31:56ever doing the judging event again.
- 32:00Like I'll do like a local affiliate.
- 32:03like go in hang out um and
- 32:05if if my affiliate needed
- 32:07judges for like semi for
- 32:09the in-person semi I would
- 32:11go do it to make sure that
- 32:13I could help out but I
- 32:15don't ever want to do a
- 32:16comp again yeah um corey I
- 32:22want to take the advanced
- 32:23one just because I won't
- 32:24have to take the regular
- 32:25one for three years I
- 32:26didn't even realize that
- 32:28again I was just taking it
- 32:29because I need ceus and
- 32:33It was, I got four CEUs for it.
- 32:36Uh,
- 32:36Jaybird says the advanced was more what
- 32:39you get an actual comp.
- 32:40Okay.
- 32:45Uh,
- 32:45it was less about the movements and yes,
- 32:47the testing was easier.
- 32:48Okay.
- 32:48Okay.
- 32:49Yeah, that's true.
- 32:49I guess it was more so like
- 32:50discussing like who's in
- 32:52charge of what things on
- 32:53the field and that kind of thing.
- 32:55So yeah.
- 32:55Okay.
- 32:55I guess in that sense it was different,
- 32:57but I just was like, um,
- 33:00that the course overall was
- 33:01seemed way easier.
- 33:04and uh andrew needs to get
- 33:05off his ass andrew I'm
- 33:09curious how your level two
- 33:12redo um was your course I
- 33:16don't know but anyways
- 33:22andrew is saying the three
- 33:23years is unclear from what I've seen
- 33:31saying he doesn't know if it
- 33:32applies to both courses or
- 33:33just the advanced got it so
- 33:39yeah I kind of I kind of
- 33:41want to take my level two
- 33:42it's just such a big
- 33:43expense since I'm not
- 33:44coaching anymore yeah it is
- 33:47I think there's an online I
- 33:48mean isn't there like a
- 33:50because you can take like
- 33:51the level one online yeah
- 33:54for a little bit less money so
- 33:58uh l two went great love the
- 34:00in-person evaluation of
- 34:01coaching skills I don't I
- 34:04yeah there's a test you can
- 34:06fail all of them yeah now
- 34:09some of them my first my
- 34:14first l one was a lot
- 34:16harder than my second l one
- 34:19to much easier to fail the
- 34:21first L one I took with Amy
- 34:24here at rogue.
- 34:26I felt like I was taking the SAT.
- 34:28It did very much, um,
- 34:32where I took it online in
- 34:33twenty during COVID.
- 34:35Um, that one was much easier to pass.
- 34:43Um,
- 34:43and at the time during COVID the online
- 34:45was actually,
- 34:47I don't know if it was
- 34:48because I was renewing,
- 34:49it was only seven or if it
- 34:51was because it was online.
- 34:52Yeah.
- 34:53I thought it was less
- 34:53because you weren't doing
- 34:54anything in person, but I don't know.
- 34:57Yeah.
- 34:59Interesting.
- 35:01I'll have to look into it.
- 35:03Cause I do kind of like the
- 35:04fact that I have that
- 35:06credential and can judge at
- 35:08like an affiliate for this
- 35:09stuff if I wanted to.
- 35:14Andrew says, Trish, not really.
- 35:16You'd have to really suck, I think.
- 35:17The L-II assessment is online,
- 35:19so open notes.
- 35:20But it's not a hundred percent easy.
- 35:21You have thirty days to complete it.
- 35:23So if you don't do it in thirty days,
- 35:25then you fail.
- 35:26Okay.
- 35:27When I did my level two,
- 35:28it was right there.
- 35:29You had to take your test.
- 35:31That was in two thousand nineteen.
- 35:32And you had to wait a week
- 35:35again to find out if you pass.
- 35:39I wouldn't trust a coach who
- 35:40had never done the L-I in person.
- 35:43I'll tell you what the L one
- 35:44taking the course online
- 35:45was harder than taking the
- 35:47L one in person because
- 35:49it's all condensed.
- 35:51Like all the movement stuff
- 35:52is condensed into a very
- 35:54short amount of time.
- 35:55I was sore for days after the online L one,
- 35:59the in-person L one is
- 36:01spread out over two days
- 36:02and it was much easier to
- 36:04do the physical aspect of it.
- 36:07Um,
- 36:09And I would even say like
- 36:11the academic part was
- 36:14spread out more and much
- 36:15easier on the brain than
- 36:17the online was just like
- 36:20sipping from a fire hose.
- 36:23Like it was coming.
- 36:26But I'm glad I did both
- 36:28because I know what the differences are.
- 36:32And if you're re-upping,
- 36:33I think the online is
- 36:34perfect because do you need
- 36:37to sit through it all again?
- 36:40um probably not especially
- 36:43if you've been coaching at
- 36:44all and we definitely know
- 36:47the l-three you can
- 36:49definitely fail I've known
- 36:50people that have failed
- 36:51that multiple times amy is
- 36:57so freaked out about the
- 36:58test she wouldn't even tell
- 36:59people she was taking it
- 37:01until she passed it it's facts
- 37:07It's true.
- 37:07I have anxiety problems,
- 37:09especially with test taking.
- 37:10Yeah.
- 37:13And you did great on the L-I
- 37:15when we did it live.
- 37:16I don't know.
- 37:17I just know I passed.
- 37:18I don't know how I did.
- 37:19Passing was great, right?
- 37:24And you passed the L-III the first time.
- 37:27I did.
- 37:30So that's awesome.
- 37:32Understand.
- 37:33I think all coaches should
- 37:34do the L two way better than the L one.
- 37:36I need to study for the L
- 37:37three failed it in January.
- 37:39Yeah.
- 37:41But the L two,
- 37:41they say you should have
- 37:42some coaching experience
- 37:43before you come so that you, they,
- 37:46you have a base knowledge.
- 37:49Yeah.
- 37:50I think you need some
- 37:50experience under your belt
- 37:51to know what you need to refine.
- 37:54Right.
- 37:58Yeah.
- 37:58Yeah.
- 37:59how is the l three the same
- 38:00as everything else it's you
- 38:02have to pay it's basically
- 38:03the same because you have
- 38:04to pay two hundred fifty to
- 38:06register and then well
- 38:09maybe it's I think it's
- 38:10slightly sorry two hundred
- 38:12fifty to register and then
- 38:13five hundred for your test
- 38:14okay so then or or or maybe
- 38:18it was vice versa I think
- 38:19it was like seven fifty
- 38:20slightly less right but
- 38:22then I ended up paying more
- 38:23than a thousand because I
- 38:24took a bunch of courses
- 38:27like anatomy, nutrition,
- 38:29just to kind of work on
- 38:32some of the things that
- 38:32were gonna be on the test.
- 38:35That's cool.
- 38:36So like other CEU type
- 38:38things you took to
- 38:39supplement so that you had
- 38:43a better shot at the test?
- 38:44Yeah.
- 38:45But here's the key that someone told me.
- 38:49This is kind of a hack.
- 38:51So Andrew,
- 38:51listen up since you're studying.
- 38:54So you are required to,
- 38:56once you get your level three,
- 38:58that you are required to do
- 38:59so many CEUs to renew it in three years.
- 39:02Like you only have three years for this,
- 39:04okay?
- 39:05So the hack is you take some
- 39:08of these courses.
- 39:13all the way up until like the final test.
- 39:18So you don't actually
- 39:19complete your course yet,
- 39:21but yet you've taken it all
- 39:24up and you've gotten most
- 39:25of the information, right?
- 39:27Then I did that with several courses.
- 39:30So then after I completed my
- 39:32level three and passed,
- 39:34then I completed those
- 39:35courses and now those CEUs
- 39:37count towards that.
- 39:39Yeah.
- 39:41I mean, it's still legal.
- 39:43Right?
- 39:43I mean... Yeah,
- 39:48it's flirting with the purpose for it,
- 39:54but I get it.
- 39:55Well,
- 39:58I guess I don't see anything wrong
- 39:59with it in the sense
- 39:59because you're still using the knowledge.
- 40:02I just wanted to wait until
- 40:03I finally completed it so
- 40:05at least those CEUs were
- 40:06counting towards something.
- 40:07Otherwise,
- 40:08I'm just getting the information.
- 40:09Why not have it used towards my...
- 40:12Yeah, if you were, well,
- 40:14the idea of a CEU is that
- 40:16you're continuing your education,
- 40:19so you're constantly
- 40:20learning after the fact.
- 40:21Should we cut this out?
- 40:22Am I going to get it removed?
- 40:24If you learned it all before
- 40:27and then just finished it after,
- 40:28you're not really
- 40:30continuing your learning, but I get it.
- 40:37Are they going to remove my level three?
- 40:38I think this is the best analogy.
- 40:40It's the uncommon movement clause.
- 40:43No rep.
- 40:46I don't think they're going
- 40:47to remove anything, but no.
- 40:51No.
- 40:51By the letter of the law,
- 40:53you're probably fine.
- 40:54Okay.
- 40:55By the, what did they say?
- 41:01I am nervous now.
- 41:03I have anxiety, guys.
- 41:05That's on your side, regardless.
- 41:07That's legit.
- 41:10And Chelsea says, either way,
- 41:11you're still learning.
- 41:12Right.
- 41:16Dave and Boz are both watching.
- 41:17I'm sure.
- 41:19I'm sure they're both tuned in every day.
- 41:21Yeah.
