• 1:50
  that one funny thing is you

  know how much we love our
• 1:55
  theme song on this show
• 1:57
  Love this theme song.
• 1:59
  I'm watching the bears game
• 2:01
  Friday night in a way that
• 2:05
  could be construed,
• 2:07
  not necessarily legal.
• 2:11
  So it's coming out of stream
• 2:12
  out of Chicago and there is
• 2:16
  a casino that is now using
• 2:20
  our theme song in Chicago and
• 2:24
  which is wild.
• 2:26
  I got the song from a
• 2:29
  royalty-free site where
• 2:31
  people just put music up
• 2:33
  and you pay a membership fee to get it.
• 2:36
  And so, yeah.
• 2:39
  So a casino in Chicago is
• 2:41
  using the same theme song that we are.
• 2:45
  So pretty cool.
• 2:47
  Pretty cool.
• 2:49
  Uh, lots going on here.
• 2:52
  I saw Denise was glad to see
• 2:53
  me this weekend.
• 2:55
  Always glad to see Denise, um, uh,
• 3:03
  train all of us.
• 3:04
  So impressed with Denise Moore,
• 3:05
  especially on that last workout.
• 3:08
  She is awesome.
• 3:10
  Um, Jay Birch got to meet him in person.
• 3:16
  Um,
• 3:17
  I think the mist was pit media
• 3:19
  streaming it, not CrossFit games,
• 3:20
  YouTube channel.
• 3:21
  We'll get into that a little bit.
• 3:24
  Dan Churchill.
• 3:24
  Yeah.
• 3:25
  Shout out to Coliseum media
• 3:26
  crew at the age group.
• 3:28
  CrossFit games crushed it.
• 3:33
  I feel bad.
• 3:33
  I,
• 3:34
  the only event I was able to tune in
• 3:35
  this weekend for Jamie or
• 3:36
  Carolyn was the last event.
• 3:39
  Yeah.
• 3:39
  You missed the good ones, man.
• 3:41
  You missed the good ones.
• 3:44
  Uh,
• 3:48
  Denise, yeah, your phone will work.
• 3:52
  I can send you a link here in a second.
• 3:55
  Fergie, I feel gutted for Jamie.
• 3:58
  Here's my perspective on Jamie.
• 4:02
  And I talked to her
• 4:03
  afterwards and I know that
• 4:06
  she is the hardest person on her.
• 4:09
  The hardest person on Jamie is herself.
• 4:12
  She is going to beat herself
• 4:13
  up for a while over this.
• 4:18
  Here's the thing.
• 4:19
  We've talked about this
• 4:19
  going into the games.
• 4:21
  This was not biased towards
• 4:23
  her type of athleticism at all.
• 4:27
  The fact that she went toe
• 4:29
  to toe with the fittest
• 4:31
  women in the world in
• 4:32
  events that she's not
• 4:33
  necessarily good at and had
• 4:37
  a chance to be on the
• 4:38
  podium in the last event
• 4:41
  was freaking amazing.
• 4:43
  And I know that seems like consolation.
• 4:47
  But if you see Jamie in person,
• 4:49
  she is very small.
• 4:52
  Very small.
• 4:54
  Everybody I talk to that
• 4:56
  knows anything about the
• 4:57
  sport said she had no
• 4:58
  chance in the sled push event.
• 5:03
  And she won it.
• 5:05
  She won it.
• 5:07
  But we talk about this with
• 5:08
  Colton Mertens.
• 5:08
  Like, at what expense did her body take...
• 5:13
  to win this event that she
• 5:15
  was supposed to have no
• 5:16
  shot in the world on
• 5:18
  because she's so tiny, she wins it.
• 5:21
  And then what effect does
• 5:22
  that have on the next event
• 5:25
  and the next event?
• 5:27
  It is, if you,
• 5:29
  you have to see Jamie in
• 5:30
  person to understand,
• 5:33
  to understand what she accomplishes.
• 5:38
  It, it is,
• 5:41
  remarkable what she does
• 5:43
  remarkable judy reed she's
• 5:48
  smaller than me and people
• 5:49
  think I'm petite uh denise
• 5:58
  moore she's so tiny
• 5:59
  compared to me but she's
• 6:00
  very strong for her size
• 6:04
  shanna I think she did great
• 6:05
  she showed up when people
• 6:06
  didn't think she could do
• 6:07
  would do well she did she
• 6:09
  like she freaking killed
• 6:11
  workouts this weekend and
• 6:13
  truly she was in it till
• 6:15
  the end it was just a no
• 6:18
  rep a questionable no rep
• 6:21
  at that on a snatch in the
• 6:23
  last event that
• 6:27
  That took her from third to fifth.
• 6:30
  That's it.
• 6:32
  One no rep because at her size,
• 6:35
  she just can't afford to do
• 6:37
  the extra reps of snatching
• 6:39
  at that weight.
• 6:41
  I mean,
• 6:41
  that's like her one rep max is like
• 6:44
  one fifty five and she's
• 6:46
  snatching one twenty five for reps.
• 6:50
  It's it's a lot.
• 6:59
  It came down to the strength,
• 7:00
  which is what she always say.
• 7:03
  She's super fit.
• 7:04
  Yeah.
• 7:04
  I don't know.
• 7:08
  She is.
• 7:10
  Listen,
• 7:10
  she's still top five in the world in a,
• 7:13
  in programming that was
• 7:15
  biased in a different
• 7:17
  direction than what is her strength.
• 7:19
  And she still took fifth and
• 7:21
  that is freaking amazing.
• 7:24
  Amazing.
• 7:29
  I could not be prouder of that woman.
• 7:31
  She's one of my best friends.
• 7:33
  I was gutted in the stands for her.
• 7:36
  I wanted this so much for her.
• 7:39
  And man, I took it on the chin.
• 7:44
  I took it on the chin.
• 7:47
  But when I thought about it, it was like,
• 7:52
  she's freaking amazing.
• 7:53
  And that's what it is.
• 7:58
  Yes, Scott Pancheck did do awesome.
• 8:01
  Well, without further ado,
• 8:03
  let's go through the leaderboards.
• 8:04
  Let's talk about who wins.
• 8:07
  We'll get the podiums for
• 8:08
  each one of these.
• 8:09
  I'll go ahead and share my screen.
• 8:12
  Denise,
• 8:12
  I'll send you a link here in a second.
• 8:15
  So I will blow this up the best I can.
• 8:19
  So here we are,
• 8:19
  thirty five to thirty nine women.
• 8:21
  First place ended up being Caroline Klutz.
• 8:24
  second place carolyn privo
• 8:26
  third place sarah costas um
• 8:30
  this came down to carolyn
• 8:33
  klutz and caroline privo
• 8:35
  were separated by eight
• 8:36
  points going into the last
• 8:37
  event the last event
• 8:40
  carolyn privo got no repped
• 8:42
  on a rope climb which was
• 8:43
  wild wild I don't know how
• 8:46
  that happened um
• 8:49
  And because of that,
• 8:50
  she had to do an extra rope climb.
• 8:52
  That made her fall down in
• 8:53
  this event pretty bad.
• 8:55
  But she had enough point
• 8:56
  lead over third that she
• 8:58
  went ahead and kept second place overall.
• 9:01
  So her very own Carolyn Prevost,
• 9:03
  silver medalist at this
• 9:04
  year's CrossFit Games.
• 9:11
  Yes, Shannon.
• 9:11
  So glad Carolyn got to stay on the podium.
• 9:13
  Yes.
• 9:14
  Yes.
• 9:19
  We look at the men from this division.
• 9:23
  Or maybe we'll go the next
• 9:25
  one up and then we'll.
• 9:26
  So, forty four.
• 9:27
  It's forty to forty four.
• 9:30
  Carly Newlands.
• 9:31
  This was a rookie season.
• 9:32
  She won the forty to forty four.
• 9:35
  No, she won last year.
• 9:36
  And then Amanda Cummins,
• 9:38
  who was great all weekend long.
• 9:40
  Andrea Pinheiro took third.
• 9:42
  Susan Platt took fourth.
• 9:43
  And there's our Jamie
• 9:45
  Latimer in fifth place.
• 9:47
  And Megan Apostolaris,
• 9:48
  who also is a listener, was in sixth.
• 9:55
  Let's go to forty five to forty nine.
• 9:59
  The legendary Kelly Friel,
• 10:00
  who I think this is her
• 10:02
  fourth victory at the
• 10:03
  CrossFit Games against the
• 10:06
  legend Val Vobrol.
• 10:08
  And then Sarah Barkley took third.
• 10:13
  We go to fifty to fifty four.
• 10:17
  Kim Purdy won.
• 10:18
  Lisa Manchetti took second.
• 10:20
  Jen Dieter took third.
• 10:22
  I felt so bad for Jen Dieter.
• 10:25
  Her snatches blew up in the last square.
• 10:27
  She went from first overall
• 10:29
  to third in that.
• 10:31
  It's crazy.
• 10:35
  Um...
• 10:38
  Shout out to Lito.
• 10:39
  I think she's in top ten.
• 10:41
  This is her first Masters.
• 10:43
  Lito actually fell to
• 10:44
  twelfth on the last event.
• 10:46
  I talked to her after the event.
• 10:49
  She's good.
• 10:51
  This was her first time.
• 10:52
  She's gathering data.
• 10:53
  She knows what to take back now.
• 10:56
  We talked as I was leaving
• 10:58
  the building tonight.
• 11:00
  And, yeah, she's doing great.
• 11:02
  She's doing great.
• 11:03
  Got to talk to her and her
• 11:03
  husband a lot this weekend.
• 11:05
  She is just one cool chick.
• 11:07
  That is for sure.
• 11:12
  um what kind of payday is
• 11:16
  the master's podium uh it
• 11:18
  varies by age uh ken I
• 11:20
  think in the so it's based
• 11:23
  on a percentage of the open
• 11:26
  so I we published it a
• 11:27
  couple weeks ago holly did
• 11:28
  her best to figure it out
• 11:31
  by percentages and it's
• 11:33
  somewhere around like
• 11:35
  twenty two thousand for first
• 11:38
  eight thousand for second
• 11:40
  and four thousand for third
• 11:43
  in the thirty five to thirty nine.
• 11:45
  Then it goes like eight, four, three.
• 11:49
  I don't know, eight, four, two,
• 11:52
  something like that.
• 11:52
  I don't know.
• 11:55
  But if you look back on my Instagram,
• 12:00
  maybe a couple of weeks,
• 12:01
  Holly did try to figure
• 12:02
  that out and we did post that.
• 12:13
  All right.
• 12:18
  Prevo is such a good mover.
• 12:20
  Her box jump overs were crazy.
• 12:21
  They are.
• 12:22
  She is so good at that.
• 12:25
  It is not a lot.
• 12:27
  It's not a lot.
• 12:29
  I actually talked with that
• 12:31
  a lot of the masters in my
• 12:32
  interviews that the payday,
• 12:34
  you're not here for the pay,
• 12:35
  that's for sure.
• 12:38
  Yeah, most of them are still at a negative,
• 12:40
  Fergie.
• 12:46
  Jeff Bako, the pay is pride.
• 12:49
  Yep, that is for sure.
• 12:54
  Let's go to the next one.
• 12:57
  Fifty-five to fifty-nine.
• 12:59
  Cindy Hinkle.
• 13:00
  She is Denise Moore's
• 13:02
  training partner and best friend.
• 13:04
  She ends up winning this division.
• 13:07
  Lee Coates ends up taking second.
• 13:10
  I actually got an interview with her.
• 13:12
  She's freaking awesome.
• 13:13
  She came from Hong Kong.
• 13:16
  even though she was born in the UK.
• 13:18
  Her coach is Ant Haynes.
• 13:20
  If you remember him from the
• 13:21
  CrossFit Games,
• 13:23
  they're really fun to talk
• 13:24
  to and hang out with.
• 13:26
  And then Dana Mather took third.
• 13:33
  Um, sixty to sixty four.
• 13:37
  Laurie Mishiznik wins again.
• 13:40
  Jose Sarta took third.
• 13:41
  Second, Christy Pruitt took third.
• 13:46
  And sixty-five to sixty-nine.
• 13:50
  There's our very own Denise
• 13:52
  Moore with the win.
• 13:54
  Cecil Krippes took second.
• 13:56
  And Pam Kusar took third.
• 14:02

• 14:06
  Pauly McKinstry took first.
• 14:08
  Betty Harden took second.
• 14:10
  Sandra Jacques took third.
• 14:16

  Sixty-five to sixty-nine.
• 14:40
  Mitchell Taylor first.
• 14:41
  Greg Beam second.
• 14:42
  Ron Wilson third.
• 14:48
  Can Denise use her Jitterbug
• 14:49
  phone to get on the show?
• 14:51
  She should be able to.
• 14:53
  I'm going to try to get her on here.
• 14:55
  I will try to send her.
• 14:56
  Let me see if I can get her on.

  I don't know if you can see
• 19:19
  how thick it is.
• 19:22
  But but it's really heavy.
• 19:24
  Last year when we flew home,
• 19:26
  I had the second.
• 19:28
  Second place one I got pulled.
• 19:31
  Aside by security because
• 19:33
  they scanned it and they
• 19:34
  couldn't figure out what it was.
• 19:36
  Inside my backpack.
• 19:39
  So Denise,
• 19:40
  you wear it around your neck and
• 19:42
  you're like, go ahead, scan me.
• 19:46
  No, you're not.
• 19:47
  I can't even have a hair tie
• 19:48
  in your pocket.
• 19:52
  Oh my God.
• 19:54
  Hold on.
• 19:56
  Oh no.
• 19:59
  That was weird.
• 20:00
  All of a sudden the network
• 20:01
  started working again on the Chromebook.
• 20:03
  Sorry.
• 20:04
  Um,
• 20:08
  What was I saying?
• 20:09
  Thank you, Terry.
• 20:11
  Well deserved.
• 20:12
  Thank you, winner.
• 20:13
  I appreciate it.
• 20:16
  It was a great weekend.
• 20:18
  I think some of the changes
• 20:21
  that they made were...
• 20:26
  I guess unavoidable.
• 20:27
  They weren't unavoidable,
• 20:29
  but it's hard when you plan
• 20:32
  for a particular workout
• 20:34
  and you come in and the day
• 20:36
  before they change it,
• 20:37
  whether it's weights or move.
• 20:40
  I don't know if the changing movements.
• 20:43
  But they certainly change weights.
• 20:46
  Change the thickness.
• 20:50
  Change the bar thickness.
• 20:52
  yeah I mean the equipment
• 20:54
  changed because they didn't
• 20:55
  have the they couldn't put
• 20:58
  all the weights on the the
• 21:01
  bar for the heavy men yep
• 21:06
  and they pretty much
• 21:07
  admitted that they didn't
• 21:09
  test that workout on wad
• 21:11
  prep earlier tonight oh
• 21:13
  they did oh good at least
• 21:15
  they owned up to it because
• 21:17
  you're sitting there
• 21:17
  thinking well didn't you test this out
• 21:21
  And then they changed the
• 21:22
  weights because they wanted
• 21:24
  to make it easier for the loaders.
• 21:28
  Even with the regular men's
• 21:29
  bar and women's bar, the,
• 21:31
  the twenty and the fifteen kilogram bars.
• 21:35
  Like, all right.
• 21:37
  That's stupid.
• 21:38
  Bob or Joe said it was
• 21:39
  actually the wrong colors.
• 21:42
  I don't know if that's real
• 21:44
  or Bob and Joe the Tappet brothers.
• 21:50
  What do you mean the wrong colors?
• 21:52
  I don't even know what that means.
• 21:52
  I think he's joking.
• 21:54
  I think he's joking.
• 21:56
  It looked like they wanted
• 21:58
  to use the white tens so
• 22:01
  that they're easier to load
• 22:02
  so you don't have to like
• 22:03
  scrape it along the floor.
• 22:05
  So you're putting you have
• 22:07
  the forty fives on then you
• 22:08
  put tens on white tens and
• 22:12
  then you throw two more
• 22:13
  white tens on and that's
• 22:14
  what it looked like they did.
• 22:17
  That's how ours ended up
• 22:18
  being the way that it was.
• 22:20
  It was the clips or the collars.
• 22:23
  Collars came up.
• 22:27
  They did say it was the collars.
• 22:30
  The collars, not the collars.
• 22:32
  Or the clips.
• 22:34
  Yeah.
• 22:35
  That was,
• 22:36
  they didn't have enough room on
• 22:38
  the end of the axle bar to
• 22:43
  put the right amount of weight on there.
• 22:46
  The clips just would fall
• 22:48
  off and then they changed
• 22:50
  the weight even though they
• 22:51
  went to the fifty,
• 22:52
  forty five and the thirty five pound bar.
• 22:55
  They changed the weights to
• 22:56
  make it easier on the loaders.
• 22:58
  I don't know.
• 23:01
  I don't think it really
• 23:02
  changed much because.
• 23:04
  At least in our division.
• 23:08
  It was really just a sled workout.
• 23:11
  It was how how much you
• 23:12
  wanted to hurt on the sled.
• 23:14
  nobody slowed down on the
• 23:15
  deadlift it was it was
• 23:17
  definitely a sled push but
• 23:19
  we don't know if the axle
• 23:20
  bar and the grip would have
• 23:21
  changed anything that's the
• 23:23
  only thing I don't know um
• 23:26
  I will tell you I tested at
• 23:28
  home it well see how big
• 23:30
  man hands so I don't know
• 23:32
  but the deadlift never even
• 23:36
  out one fifty five ours
• 23:38
  ended up being one forty
• 23:39
  five even at one fifty five axle bar
• 23:44
  two inches, it didn't slow me down.
• 23:47
  It was just incidental.
• 23:50
  So I got another question for you.
• 23:52
  You and Cindy, both one,
• 23:54
  your best friends and your
• 23:55
  training partners.
• 23:58
  Yes.
• 23:59
  Who celebrated harder tonight?
• 24:01
  Cindy.
• 24:05
  I'm back in the room and
• 24:07
  she's out partying some
• 24:08
  more with her sister who came to visit.
• 24:12
  There you go.
• 24:13
  so I I'm I'm such a
• 24:15
  lightweight I really am but
• 24:17
  at sixty six you gotta be
• 24:18
  careful right right but
• 24:24
  she's out I think they
• 24:25
  tried to find some
• 24:26
  speakeasy somewhere oh
• 24:28
  there's a couple of those
• 24:29
  down there oh okay I'm
• 24:32
  already out it's definitely
• 24:35
  plus age group celebrated
• 24:36
  with metamucil shots
• 24:38
  everybody's making the old jokes now
• 24:41
  Was it Jeff that said I had
• 24:42
  a jitterbug phone?
• 24:43
  I got that.
• 24:45
  I don't remember who said it.
• 24:46
  I think it was CrossFat.
• 24:49
  Someone said you had a
• 24:49
  jitterbug phone to call in on.
• 24:52
  Bifocals in the swag bags.
• 24:56
  I'll tell you what,
• 24:57
  the lighting in there was so bad,
• 24:59
  I couldn't wear my glasses.
• 25:01
  because I could not find the
• 25:04
  right part of my transition
• 25:07
  to get into focus quickly
• 25:09
  enough when I turned my head.
• 25:10
  It was crazy.
• 25:12
  Well,
• 25:13
  because I'm so blind and I can't wear
• 25:15
  my glasses working out that
• 25:16
  I don't see anyway.
• 25:18
  And then we had to get drug
• 25:21
  tested afterwards and you
• 25:22
  have to fill out paperwork.
• 25:25
  And now I don't have my
• 25:26
  glasses and I'm he's like, here,
• 25:28
  sign here and read this question.
• 25:30
  I'm like, I can't read that.
• 25:32
  And you won't let me get my glasses.
• 25:34
  You can't touch anybody.
• 25:35
  No one can touch you.
• 25:36
  You can't hand anything to anybody.
• 25:38
  I'm like, you're going to have to help me,
• 25:39
  dude.
• 25:40
  I can't read this.
• 25:43
  yeah yeah I you know I
• 25:48
  talked to jamie and and
• 25:50
  caroline klutz both after
• 25:51
  the drug test and they
• 25:54
  caroline drank six bottles
• 25:55
  of water jamie drank seven
• 25:58
  just to get enough p to pee
• 25:59
  in the cup I knew that from
• 26:03
  last year and what I did
• 26:04
  was as soon as they
• 26:05
  corralled us I just pounded
• 26:07
  water and I I think it took
• 26:10
  me three three bottles and I was good
• 26:14
  Cindy got blood tested.
• 26:17
  So the way they do the blood
• 26:19
  testing is they pick random.
• 26:23
  Groups like divisions.
• 26:25
  And they blood test.
• 26:27
  The winner of that.
• 26:30
  Group.
• 26:31
  And she Cindy was the lucky one,
• 26:33
  so she's walking around.
• 26:34
  If you see her,
• 26:35
  she's walking around with a band aid.
• 26:38
  Around her are on her arm.
• 26:42
  I don't know why she still
• 26:43
  has it on there.
• 26:44
  Replacing it with alcohol.
• 26:46
  And now she's replacing the
• 26:47
  blood with alcohol.
• 26:49
  Oh, yeah.
• 26:50
  Yeah.
• 26:51
  Very much.
• 26:54
  She parties hardier than I do.
• 26:56
  The other thing that I found
• 26:57
  fascinating is talking to Caroline Klutz.
• 26:59
  This was her third drug test
• 27:03
  in like three weeks.
• 27:05
  She got a random test at
• 27:06
  home before the games.
• 27:08
  She was on a team at the
• 27:09
  games that had to be drug
• 27:11
  tested and then drug tested
• 27:12
  here at the age group games.
• 27:18
  They spent a lot of money on her.
• 27:19
  They did.
• 27:21
  Because that drug testing isn't cheap.
• 27:26
  Crazy.
• 27:28
  I guess you have to.
• 27:31
  I mean, it's part of the rules.
• 27:37
  At the collegiate nationals,
• 27:38
  they gave us a beer before the piss test.
• 27:41
  In fairness, it was the eighties.
• 27:45
  Yep.
• 27:45
  That's how we did things back then.
• 27:50
  They don't let you touch anybody.
• 27:52
  You can't high five your
• 27:54
  people after the workout.
• 27:58
  It's okay.
• 28:00
  Um,
• 28:03
  I really thought my last workout was
• 28:05
  going to be, uh,
• 28:06
  I was sweating bullets last night.
• 28:08
  I never slept.
• 28:10
  Um,
• 28:11
  we had two people in our division
• 28:13
  injure themselves pretty
• 28:16
  hard and pretty badly too.
• 28:20
  Was that the one that fell off the GHD?
• 28:23
  Teresa damage fell off the GHG.
• 28:25
  I think what happened was
• 28:26
  she didn't have her feet.
• 28:29
  All the way in and then she went back.
• 28:33
  Her feet pulled out and then
• 28:35
  she fell to the left.
• 28:38
  Onto the floor and she heard
• 28:40
  some tearing in her shoulder.
• 28:45
  And then pretty bad dava.
• 28:48
  She was trying to bring
• 28:51
  muscle up and just got in a
• 28:53
  really bad position and it
• 28:55
  pulled her shoulder.
• 28:57
  So she's gonna have to have some,
• 29:00
  I don't know,
• 29:01
  probably some imaging on it.
• 29:04
  So two people hurt their
• 29:05
  shoulders this weekend in my division.
• 29:09
  Wow.
• 29:11
  And I thought to myself, you know, listen,
• 29:15
  Sure.
• 29:16
  We cannot do an overhead
• 29:18
  squat at fifty five pounds.
• 29:21
  So they made the our division do.
• 29:24
  Front squats can't do an overhead squat,
• 29:27
  but sure, after the third round,
• 29:29
  go try a muscle up.
• 29:33
  It makes sense in that.
• 29:40
  Orthopods love CrossFit.
• 29:44
  Well, Denise, I want to congratulate you.
• 29:46
  I'm sorry I missed you today.
• 29:49
  Scott,
• 29:50
  thank you for everything that you do
• 29:52
  for us.
• 29:53
  We really appreciate it.

• 29:58
  We really do appreciate you.
• 30:01
  Well, thank you.
• 30:02
  I love being there.
• 30:03
  I love hanging out with you guys.
• 30:05
  It's really just the highlight of my year,
• 30:08
  really.
• 30:08
  This is my favorite place to
• 30:10
  be in the whole year.
• 30:13
  Thank you for having me on.
• 30:14
  Thank you.
• 30:15
  And have a great night.
• 30:16
  Rest up.

• 30:18
  All right.

  All right.
• 30:23
  See you guys.
• 30:24
  All right.
• 30:24
  Bye.
• 30:29
  Bye.
• 30:29
  All right.
• 30:29
  Denise Moore champion,
• 30:30
  sixty to sixty four year old division.
• 30:36
  Let's continue on where we at here.
• 30:39
  Fifty five to fifty nine.
• 30:41
  Greg Geards,
• 30:42
  Randy Lowe and Sean Patrick
• 30:44
  were the top three there.
• 30:46
  We go down to the fifty to fifty four.

• 31:08
  lot um super cool guy he

• 31:16
  Forty to forty four.

  We have Rudy Berger with his third title.
• 31:21
  Bruno Militao is take second.
• 31:25
  Chicho Quesada took third.
• 31:28
  He was last year's champion,
• 31:30
  took third in that division.
• 31:33
  Then we go to the thirty
• 31:35
  five to thirty nine,
• 31:36
  where for the first time in his long,
• 31:39
  illustrious career,

• 31:42
  medal and a podium finish.
• 31:44
  And he gets finally a
• 31:46
  CrossFit Games medal.
• 31:47
  Marquand Jones with the
• 31:48
  second con Porter with the third.
• 31:51
  This was a super tight
• 31:53
  battle the entire weekend.
• 31:55
  Everybody back and forth.
• 31:57
  I think all three of these
• 31:58
  men led at one time.
• 32:00
  And Chase Smith was in that mix.
• 32:02
  with them the entire weekend as well.
• 32:05
  Super fun division to watch.
• 32:09
  These men still have it,
• 32:10
  and they were going after it hard,
• 32:12
  and it was really fun to watch.
• 32:15
  But super cool that Scott
• 32:18
  Pancheck finally gets a
• 32:20
  medal at a CrossFit Games.
• 32:26
  Train Olive, she's right, Scott.
• 32:28
  I was following these
• 32:28
  divisions because you
• 32:29
  highlight them and the people in them.
• 32:31
  Hey.
• 32:33
  I love these people.
• 32:35
  If you've never been to this,
• 32:38
  they walk around like
• 32:40
  they're at a local comp.
• 32:42
  You can just sit.
• 32:42
  I sat and talked to Con Porter.
• 32:45
  I sat and talked to Scott Pancheck.
• 32:47
  You can just sit and do that,
• 32:49
  and there's no air about them.
• 32:51
  They're just hanging out
• 32:52
  with everybody else.
• 32:53
  They're there with their families.
• 32:56
  Kids are playing everywhere.
• 32:58
  It's really just a cool vibe
• 33:00
  and a cool hangout.
• 33:02
  And when we get to my like
• 33:03
  worst things of the weekend, we'll,
• 33:05
  we'll talk about why that
• 33:07
  sucks in some ways.
• 33:15
  Um, so yeah, so many dogs.
• 33:25
  I noticed that today.
• 33:26
  I, my, my dog allergy was,
• 33:29
  I was fighting that all day today.
• 33:33
  There was a ton of people there, too.
• 33:35
  Khan is so funny.
• 33:36
  He is.
• 33:38
  All right.
• 33:41
  I guess I wasn't sharing my
• 33:42
  screen with the last updates,
• 33:44
  but there it is.
• 33:47
  The other thing that was
• 33:48
  wild this weekend is...
• 33:50
  I'm getting more and more recognized,
• 33:52
  especially in this community.
• 33:54
  And a guy came up to me yesterday and said,
• 33:58
  I listen to your lunch show every day.
• 34:00
  Every day I have lunch with you.
• 34:01
  Well, really,
• 34:03
  I listen to you while I'm pooping.
• 34:06
  And I didn't know how to take that.
• 34:08
  Is that a compliment?
• 34:09
  Like, am I helping cure constipation?
• 34:13
  Or do I take that as like, hey,
• 34:16
  I got nothing better to do
• 34:17
  while I'm pooping, so I listen to you.
• 34:20
  Um,
• 34:20
  but I found it interesting that he
• 34:22
  shared with me that that's
• 34:24
  when he decides to listen to me.
• 34:29
  So, um, that was pretty fun,
• 34:32
  but so many people, um,
• 34:34
  were coming up and saying
• 34:35
  hi and that they listened
• 34:37
  to the lunch show.
• 34:37
  They listened to the Sunday night show.
• 34:40
  Um, it was really, really funny.
• 34:43
  And I got to meet a lot of
• 34:44
  people and everybody was so nice.
• 34:51
  judy reed asks is that my
• 34:53
  husband better not have
• 34:55
  been it was not your
• 34:56
  husband not your husband I
• 34:58
  guarantee you he poops for
• 35:01
  an hour what's wrong with
• 35:02
  that jody I thought that's
• 35:04
  normal john jenkins
• 35:08
  compliment that it's sacred
• 35:09
  time scott you're a laxative there we go
• 35:17
  You replaced last
• 35:18
  generation's East Bay
• 35:20

  Illustrated on the pooper.
• 35:23
  Man, it is my day to shine.
• 35:29
  He finds you relaxing.
• 35:33
  He's saying that Clydesdale is a shit.
• 35:35
  It's a compliment.
• 35:38
  He should call in like Denise next time.
• 35:41
  Yeah, like Frank.
• 35:46
  only from the waist up
• 35:47

  him doug reed all the time
• 36:00
  turns out his name is not
• 36:02
  doug it's that's just what
• 36:05
  savon has been calling him
• 36:06
  and now everybody else he's
• 36:07
  like it's like his pedro to
• 36:09
  peter his name is david and
• 36:13
  everybody calls him doug
• 36:19
  but I got that I got that
• 36:21
  rectified in person um
• 36:26
  anyway if he's masters that
• 36:32
  toilet has bars around it
• 36:34
  well you gotta have
• 36:35
  something to prop it up on
• 36:37
  right cross fat like he has
• 36:39
  a bar he can just set it
• 36:40
  there and kind of watch hands free then
• 36:46
  Lana Marcin,
• 36:47
  nobody hustles like that woman.
• 36:49
  Just got home, great week of fitness.
• 36:51
  Good to see you, Scott.
• 36:53
  Lana tries to see all of her
• 36:54
  friends over these weekends,
• 36:57
  and she takes a piece of paper,
• 36:58
  and she writes out the schedule,
• 37:00
  and she crosses off as she
• 37:01
  hits each one through the weekend.
• 37:03
  And she is running, running,
• 37:05
  running to all of those
• 37:07
  things so she doesn't miss
• 37:08
  a single workout any of her
• 37:10
  friends are doing.
• 37:17
  Peter equals Pedro.
• 37:19
  David equals Doug.
• 37:21
  He's honored to be talked
• 37:22
  about no matter what you call him.
• 37:26
  Judy Jody.
• 37:29
  Yeah.
• 37:31
  Fun stuff.
• 37:33
  Fun, fun stuff.
• 37:36
  What else happened?
• 37:37
  So I was doing these
• 37:38
  interviews and I really
• 37:39
  pivoted this weekend to do
• 37:41
  something different where I
• 37:43
  talked to athletes and I
• 37:45
  didn't talk about the weekend.
• 37:47
  Well, not a lot,
• 37:49
  very little about this
• 37:51
  weekend and more about like their purpose,
• 37:54
  their why, why they got into CrossFit,
• 37:57
  why they continue to do
• 37:58
  this later in life, all of those things.
• 38:03
  And that's what I'm trying
• 38:04
  to put together as my end
• 38:06
  product from this weekend.
• 38:09
  And some of them I just left
• 38:10
  raw and uncut and I put out
• 38:12
  as members only videos.
• 38:14
  So Jamie did one.
• 38:16
  Carolyn did one.
• 38:18
  Con Porter did one.
• 38:19
  And I just put those out for members only.
• 38:22
  So if you are a members only
• 38:25
  and you did not see those,
• 38:26
  they're out there on the
• 38:27
  YouTube channel now.
• 38:28
  And I'll probably put a
• 38:29
  couple more out as full
• 38:31
  versions like that.
• 38:33
  But at the end of the day,
• 38:34
  I'm going to take it and
• 38:35
  take one subject and clip
• 38:37
  them all together.
• 38:38
  And it'll be like one full
• 38:40
  video of this is my purpose.
• 38:44
  And maybe one video of this
• 38:46
  is what I do to earn a
• 38:47
  living while I'm doing this other thing.
• 38:51
  And then we're going to
• 38:52
  intermingle some floor shots together.
• 38:58
  and basically modified reels
• 39:01
  into those interviews that
• 39:03
  were done by my videographer, Caitlin.
• 39:07
  So that will be like the end
• 39:10
  product of this weekend.
• 39:12
  it was really cool to like I
• 39:15
  could never do this do this
• 39:16
  at the elite games to sit
• 39:18
  down like on a bench in the
• 39:20
  middle of nowhere with
• 39:22
  these athletes and ask the
• 39:24
  deeper questions um just
• 39:26
  sitting there hanging out
• 39:28
  it was really good it was
• 39:30
  really fun and denise is
• 39:31
  one of the people I
• 39:32
  interviewed so she's a part of it
• 39:40
  But it's going to be fun.
• 39:41
  And I didn't restrict myself
• 39:45
  to any level of athlete.
• 39:47
  Any of the elite athletes that were there,
• 39:51
  I would take any of them
• 39:52
  that were willing to talk.
• 39:55
  And so we're going to piece
• 39:56
  it all together.
• 39:58
  It'll be fun.
• 39:58
  I still have to get the
• 39:59
  Hattie part two done.
• 40:01
  So I got a lot of editing to
• 40:02
  do in the next month or so.
• 40:11
  Larry Young, showing up late,
• 40:12
  do you think with Grub aging up,
• 40:14
  he gets as many as Tia?
• 40:16
  Well, Tia has to stop.
• 40:21
  So until Tia stops,
• 40:24
  Grub can win as many as he wants.
• 40:26
  She's going to stay ahead of him by two.
• 40:33
  So as long as she stops, Larry,
• 40:36
  he might have a shot.
• 40:38
  But who knows?
• 40:39
  Maybe she just rides us all
• 40:40
  the way to Masters and
• 40:41
  just... I wasn't sure that
• 40:50
  Jason was going to win this year.
• 40:52
  He had a lot of competition,
• 40:54
  and I'm not sure this was
• 40:55
  programmed right down his alley.
• 40:59
  But he PR'd his lift.
• 41:02
  Yeah.
• 41:04
  It's actually the best I've
• 41:05
  seen him look in the time
• 41:07
  I've really been covering
• 41:09
  deeply the Masters division.
• 41:12
  So, yeah, I don't see an end in sight.
• 41:21
  The other thing I have to
• 41:22
  tell you about the project,
• 41:23
  and it goes back to my glasses.
• 41:27
  So I didn't wear my glasses
• 41:28
  all weekend after I figured that out.
• 41:31
  So there was like five
• 41:32
  interviews and I didn't
• 41:34
  have a place to put my bag.
• 41:36
  I never got media access.
• 41:38
  I only had spectator access.
• 41:40
  So I had to carry all my
• 41:41
  stuff in a duffel bag or a
• 41:43
  backpack throughout the entire weekend.
• 41:46
  So I had to put my camera in and out,
• 41:47
  in and out.
• 41:48
  And in one of those in and outs,
• 41:50
  I bumped the autofocus into manual focus.
• 41:56
  So like five of the videos
• 41:57
  are a little bit blurry.
• 42:00
  I'm trying a new AI feature
• 42:03
  that I found to see if I
• 42:05
  can get those sharpened up
• 42:08
  before I use them.
• 42:09
  But in the end of the day,
• 42:11
  I might just have blurry
• 42:12
  video because I had my glasses off.
• 42:15
  I could not tell in the
• 42:18
  screen that they were
• 42:19
  blurry until after the fact.
• 42:21
  I'm trying to fix them up
• 42:23
  hopefully hopefully I can
• 42:26
  get them sharpened up at
• 42:27
  least a little bit uh so
• 42:29
  they blend well with the
• 42:30
  other ones that are in
• 42:31
  focus that's one area I'm
• 42:38
  not trying to take after
• 42:39
  savan I don't want to have
• 42:41
  blurry pictures but it may
• 42:43
  just turn out that way so
• 42:49
  Let's finish up with a
• 42:51
  little bit of best and
• 42:52
  worst from the weekend.
• 42:54
  So let's start off with, yeah,
• 43:00
  I am truly a Masters-aged media person,
• 43:03
  truly.
• 43:07
  The good.
• 43:08
  The good with the Masters
• 43:10
  CrossFit Games or Age Group
• 43:11
  CrossFit Games
• 43:13
  CrossFit Games is the community itself.
• 43:16
  Hanging out there is truly a joy.
• 43:19
  I want to be there every single year.
• 43:21
  If you gave me a choice
• 43:22
  between elite and age group,
• 43:25
  I would rather go to age group.
• 43:29
  But I'd also rather go to
• 43:30
  semifinals than the games.
• 43:33
  The games is very sterilized
• 43:38
  in the CrossFit Games season,
• 43:40
  and it's my least favorite
• 43:42
  in-person event to cover.
• 43:46
  And that doesn't mean that
• 43:48
  like I've said this year
• 43:49
  was like one of the better years,
• 43:50
  but still it's not as fun
• 43:52
  as like going to a
• 43:53
  semifinal or going to the
• 43:55
  age group group.
• 43:58
  The athletes are amazing.
• 44:00
  They all hang out.
• 44:01
  They talk.
• 44:05
  And then the volunteers are amazing.
• 44:08
  The ones that show up and
• 44:10
  put in the work are amazing.
• 44:15
  The other good was the venue.
• 44:17
  The venue was huge.
• 44:19
  There were four floors.
• 44:21
  There was a big vendor village.
• 44:24
  I'm going to talk about that
• 44:24
  in another way in a second.
• 44:26
  Lots of space,
• 44:28
  a big hallway where people
• 44:29
  could kind of hang out.
• 44:31
  There were couches.
• 44:33
  There were chairs everywhere
• 44:35
  to just kind of hang out.
• 44:37
  It was really nice.
• 44:38
  And the minute you walked out the door,
• 44:39
  there were five hundred
• 44:40
  choices of places to eat.
• 44:42
  You could walk in any
• 44:43
  direction and find food.
• 44:45
  There was food inside the venue.
• 44:48
  And got my acai bowl today,
• 44:51
  which I always wait until Sunday.
• 44:53
  Had that.
• 44:54
  It was delicious.
• 44:55
  But great food choices in every direction.
• 45:01
  The races on the floor were amazing.
• 45:04
  So many of the races came
• 45:05
  down to such close calls
• 45:08
  and they used finish lines
• 45:10
  on everything but those dumb AMRAPs.
• 45:13
  If it wasn't an AMRAP,
• 45:14
  there was a finish line and
• 45:16
  you could tell who won.
• 45:18
  That has been a bugaboo my
• 45:19
  whole time in media and I
• 45:21
  was so glad that they did that.
• 45:25
  CrossFit says the videos
• 45:26
  will look good if Scott
• 45:28
  shares the glasses.
• 45:29
  There you go.
• 45:40
  Lots of posturing at the games,
• 45:42
  not just the athletes.
• 45:43
  That is very well said cross fat.
• 45:45
  Very well said.
• 45:47
  And that's just not my vibe.
• 45:53
  Yeah.
• 45:53
  And Judy Reed points out
• 45:55
  right outside the doors is
• 45:56
  where the Arnold statue is.
• 45:57
  And there's a little outdoor
• 45:59
  picnic area that you could
• 46:00
  hang out in the sun, get warm,
• 46:03
  get some fresh air, get some sunshine,
• 46:06
  all of that kind of stuff too.
• 46:09
  Denise agrees.
• 46:10
  The venue is great.
• 46:11
  Great food.
• 46:19
  Larry Young, we all have the micro,
• 46:21
  the programming under a microscope,
• 46:22
  but the truth is the
• 46:23
  athletes are crazy fit to make it there.
• 46:25
  And they are beasts on everything.
• 46:27
  If we didn't have to compare them.
• 46:33
  Jay Birch,
• 46:34
  that herbal hydroponic grown
• 46:36
  house was cool.
• 46:37
  It was.
• 46:39
  Yeah,
• 46:39
  they had a place right there where
• 46:41
  they grow different vegetables.
• 46:43
  And then those vegetables
• 46:45
  they use in their food
• 46:46
  right there outside.
• 46:48
  It's inside the venue,
• 46:50
  but not inside the doors of
• 46:52
  where the floors were.
• 46:57
  How many people took
• 46:58
  pictures with the statue?
• 47:00
  That statue is getting
• 47:01
  pictures of it all day long.
• 47:04
  all day and everybody doing
• 47:06
  the flex the other thing
• 47:11
  I'll tell you is the
• 47:11
  broadcast I thought was
• 47:13
  great in its um execution
• 47:18
  um they had a different
• 47:19
  company do the broadcast
• 47:22
  I thought the graphics were cool.
• 47:24
  I thought that the new scoring system,
• 47:27
  they call it the F one
• 47:29
  scoring system down the
• 47:30
  side of the screen was much
• 47:32
  cooler than what's been done in the past.
• 47:36
  And as things changed,
• 47:38
  they would put a little
• 47:39
  yellow bar for every movement.
• 47:42
  So you could see when
• 47:43
  someone moved on from that
• 47:44
  movement to the next one.
• 47:46
  And then there were green
• 47:48
  and red arrows by the names
• 47:50
  as they moved up or down the leaderboard.
• 47:56
  I thought that was really interesting.
• 47:58
  really good really as mark
• 48:01
  puts it the scoring overlay
• 48:02
  was much easier to follow
• 48:05
  so much easier that was
• 48:08
  like I thought the best
• 48:09
  innovation that came out of
• 48:10
  this weekend now I don't
• 48:18
  know who did the broadcast
• 48:21
  but what I want to say is
• 48:23
  I'm going to toot my own
• 48:24
  horn a little bit
• 48:26
  Joe reached out to me to see
• 48:28
  if I could find DJs for him
• 48:30
  because I live here in the city.
• 48:32
  And my wife used to work at
• 48:35
  a media school there.
• 48:36
  They trained DJs.
• 48:38
  We contacted them and they
• 48:40
  wanted to know if their
• 48:42
  students who do broadcast
• 48:44
  could be interned into what
• 48:47
  they were doing so that
• 48:48
  they could get credit for
• 48:49
  what they were doing.
• 48:52
  They ended up using those people.
• 48:55
  I don't know if they got the
• 48:56
  broadcast through them or not,
• 48:59
  but all of those interns were free.
• 49:02
  So we reduced the cost of
• 49:06
  the broadcast by bringing
• 49:07
  in interns to run cameras,
• 49:10
  and I still didn't get access.
• 49:14
  I still didn't get access.
• 49:21
  Anyway, I didn't do it.
• 49:22
  I just connected them.
• 49:24
  That's all I'm saying.
• 49:34
  Jay Burch,
• 49:34
  I had a chance to do the live
• 49:35
  scoring for that.
• 49:36
  It was so cool.
• 49:42
  Trade Olive as someone who
• 49:43
  watched solely online.
• 49:44
  The broadcast was way better
• 49:46
  than the past.
• 49:47
  Sometimes hard to find which
• 49:48
  stream was active,
• 49:49
  but I was very pleased.
• 49:51
  Yeah, I'm not saying it was comprehensive.
• 49:54
  And Shanna points out that
• 49:56
  there wasn't as much women
• 49:58
  coverage as there were men's,
• 50:00
  especially the older divisions.
• 50:02
  I did, but...
• 50:05
  I didn't know that because I
• 50:06
  was watching most of it live,
• 50:08
  but I did watch some of it
• 50:09
  today just to see what the
• 50:11
  broadcast came across as.
• 50:19
  And here's Shannon did not
• 50:20
  seem to stream them as much as the men,
• 50:22
  especially the upper ages.
• 50:24
  And yes,
• 50:24
  I was jazzed about the scoreboard.
• 50:33
  I do not know about the DJ
• 50:34
  snag this morning.
• 50:36
  Interns, great idea.
• 50:37
  Kind of a stab in the back, Scott.
• 50:40
  Kind of, but at this point,
• 50:42
  what's it matter?
• 50:44
  My pivot actually is going
• 50:45
  to turn out better than
• 50:46
  what I was going to do in
• 50:47
  the first place with the
• 50:49
  interviews I got and more
• 50:50
  deep conversations.
• 50:52
  So at the end of the day,
• 50:54
  made lemons out of lemonade
• 50:55
  and we're doing okay.
• 51:02
  So, Judy, I had media access.
• 51:05
  I just didn't have access to
• 51:06
  have anybody on the floor.
• 51:08
  And my videographer, in all fairness,
• 51:12
  is five foot one.
• 51:13
  She's a tiny little thing.
• 51:16
  And she's great at what she does.
• 51:18
  But trying to get over the
• 51:19
  hordes of people that are
• 51:20
  on the fence is really hard for her.
• 51:26
  And if she's on the floor,
• 51:28
  you don't really see her that much.
• 51:30
  It's just silly.
• 51:33
  I just wanted access for her,
• 51:35
  not really for me.
• 51:36
  I understood the
• 51:37
  behind-the-scenes stuff with the teens.
• 51:40
  They didn't want to make it
• 51:42
  unsafe for the teens back there.
• 51:44
  I get it.
• 51:45
  But I want my person that's
• 51:47
  taking video footage,
• 51:49
  I just wanted her to have a
• 51:50
  vantage point where she could see.
• 51:52
  That's all.
• 52:00
  Tommy Marquez was telling
• 52:01
  you about the media school kids.
• 52:02
  Didn't realize you helped get them.
• 52:04
  I did.
• 52:06
  I did.
• 52:06
  It was really my wife more than anyone.
• 52:08
  I just reached out to her
• 52:10
  and she got us a phone
• 52:11
  number and we took it where
• 52:14
  we did look less expensive
• 52:18
  than Hamilton road.
• 52:19
  No fault on them.
• 52:21
  Right.
• 52:21
  But we got to try less expensive, man.
• 52:24
  We got to try.
• 52:32
  So felt like a trial run at
• 52:35
  the streaming model,
• 52:36
  not paying for the entire day.
• 52:40
  It's also about that the
• 52:41
  cameraman can only work so
• 52:43
  many hours a day without
• 52:46
  having to be switched out.
• 52:49
  And when you have that many
• 52:50
  different divisions,
• 52:52
  you can't give them breaks
• 52:54
  like you can at a normal comp.
• 52:56
  That is my understanding.
• 52:58
  That's what I've been told.
• 53:00
  And that's where the cost
• 53:01
  goes really high.
• 53:03
  That's why they reduced it
• 53:04
  down to just windows of
• 53:07
  action throughout the day.
• 53:20
  Michelin or Goodyear for
• 53:21
  that truck that kept
• 53:22
  running you over again.
• 53:26
  I pivoted to a thing that's cooler,
• 53:28
  so I'm fine with it.
• 53:30
  I just wanted Caitlin to be
• 53:31
  able to see the floor.
• 53:36
  Could be friend have done a
• 53:37
  better stream with his iPhone.
• 53:39
  No.
• 53:40
  No.
• 53:41
  And the innovations, the graphics,
• 53:43
  the overlays way better
• 53:45
  than some of the stuff that
• 53:46
  Hamilton road has done.
• 53:48
  Yes.
• 53:48
  They didn't do as much coverage.
• 53:50
  Yes.
• 53:51
  They use some stationary
• 53:52
  cameras for some of the shots,
• 53:54
  but they did do it at a
• 53:55
  little bit of reduced price
• 53:57
  and that's okay.
• 53:58
  It was still really good coverage.
• 54:09
  Yeah,
• 54:10
  I'm not explaining the camera people
• 54:12
  as men, women.
• 54:13
  I was explaining is why it
• 54:15
  was a reduced window.
• 54:17
  I don't know why they would
• 54:18
  do more men than women.
• 54:19
  That makes no sense.
• 54:24
  All right.
• 54:27
  The last thing is the crowds.
• 54:28
  The crowds were really, really full.
• 54:32
  I don't know what that means.
• 54:34
  It's really hard to tell in
• 54:35
  a convention center when
• 54:37
  the seats are people
• 54:39
  standing around a fence and
• 54:40
  then a small bleacher area,
• 54:43
  but they were always full.
• 54:45
  You couldn't get in to see
• 54:46
  anything unless you were
• 54:48
  there a little bit early
• 54:49
  and kind of nudged your way to the fence.
• 54:53
  or found like an empty seat
• 54:54
  early and kind of sat there
• 54:56
  till your thing came.
• 54:58
  Very,
• 54:58
  very big crowds for compared to
• 55:01
  Birmingham last year.
• 55:07
  But I do know that those
• 55:08
  bleachers could go higher.
• 55:11
  So one negative I would say
• 55:12
  is they should have made them higher.
• 55:13
  There was a demand for that.
• 55:15
  Put in a couple more rows.
• 55:20
  That would have been better.
• 55:27
  Did I see John Woolley?
• 55:28
  Yes, I did.
• 55:30
  I always see John Woolley.
• 55:31
  He lives in Ohio.
• 55:32
  I live in Ohio.
• 55:33
  We always run into each other.
• 55:41
  Now for the bad.
• 55:42
  The bad is there were not
• 55:43
  enough volunteers.
• 55:48
  It's my understanding that
• 55:49
  seventeen judges.
• 55:51
  This is just the judges,
• 55:53
  not all the volunteers.
• 55:54
  Seventeen judges didn't show this weekend.
• 55:58
  So when you're planning on
• 55:59
  this many there to judge,
• 56:01
  they're not there.
• 56:02
  Now you're working on a reduced crew.
• 56:04
  Now you're having to work more heats.
• 56:07
  Now you're working four days.
• 56:09
  You're trying to get fed.
• 56:10
  You're trying to go through
• 56:11
  everything and.
• 56:14
  And by Sunday, they're wiped out.
• 56:17
  And it showed today.
• 56:19
  It showed today.
• 56:20
  But I don't blame them.
• 56:22
  I blame the circumstances
• 56:24
  that got them there.
• 56:26
  One, if you're signing up to volunteer,
• 56:28
  go.
• 56:29
  If you're not going to go,
• 56:31
  let someone know so they
• 56:33
  can fill your spot because
• 56:35
  they need all those numbers.
• 56:37
  They need to plan for that.
• 56:39
  They need to know how many
• 56:39
  people are going to be there.
• 56:41
  That's why judges are worn out by Sunday.
• 56:44
  And they make dumb calls
• 56:48
  because they've been
• 56:48
  working thirty five or
• 56:50
  thirty eight heats in a row.
• 56:55
  And I didn't just pull that number.
• 56:56
  I know of a judge that
• 56:57
  worked thirty five or
• 56:58
  thirty eight heats in the
• 57:00
  day I talked to him.
• 57:04
  That you're not going to get
• 57:06
  the best judge when you
• 57:07
  work them that way.
• 57:15
  It's insane.
• 57:17
  And I know they had to have
• 57:18
  those problems at every,
• 57:19
  at the equipment team,
• 57:20
  at the athlete control team,
• 57:24
  at the scoring team, all those.
• 57:26
  If you're signing up to volunteer,
• 57:28
  we appreciate you,
• 57:30
  but either show up or let
• 57:31
  them know you can't so they
• 57:33
  can get somebody new.
• 57:41
  The other thing, programming.
• 57:43
  Programming played out the
• 57:44
  way we all said it was going to play out,
• 57:46
  exactly how we said it was
• 57:47
  going to play out.
• 57:50
  And Bob and Joe said enough
• 57:54
  as much as that in their
• 57:56
  interview with CJ and WAD
• 57:58
  Prep this evening.
• 58:03
  And I still think when they
• 58:04
  were talking about corrections,
• 58:05
  it was all male bias.
• 58:08
  And I kept putting in the chat,
• 58:09
  you need female testers because yes,
• 58:12
  it played out like the last
• 58:13
  workout played out where
• 58:15
  the wall walks blew up for
• 58:17
  people on the men's side,
• 58:19
  not on the women's side.
• 58:21
  The women's side were fine
• 58:22
  with the wall walks,
• 58:23
  but the snatches blew up women.
• 58:25
  So it blew up women in a
• 58:27
  different way than it blew up men.
• 58:29
  And they're only talking
• 58:30
  about the way it affected the men.
• 58:32
  And that has to change.
• 58:42
  The volunteers are the best
• 58:43
  people on the floor.
• 58:44
  The competitors are great,
• 58:45
  but we can't do any of that without them.
• 58:47
  I completely agree, Dan.
• 58:49
  But also, if you commit to be one,
• 58:52
  show up.
• 58:54
  Show up.
• 59:00
  Uh...
• 59:02
  How did the weighted pistols workouts go?
• 59:05
  For the stuff I saw, it was fine.
• 59:07
  I know in the older
• 59:08
  divisions where it wasn't weighted,
• 59:11
  they didn't get very many.
• 59:14
  And I don't think it's an
• 59:15
  appropriate movement for older groups,
• 59:18
  period.
• 59:25
  Didn't Bob allude to it
• 59:26
  needing to be heavier on WOD prep?
• 59:28
  Yeah,
• 59:28
  because he said that the snatch
• 59:29
  wasn't the limiting factor.
• 59:31
  He said it was the wall walk.
• 59:33
  That means you're only watching the men.
• 59:37
  And that's what I said in the chat.
• 59:51
  Larry Young,
• 59:52
  more than likely it'll swing
• 59:53
  the other way next year.
• 59:54
  They always overcorrect.
• 59:56
  I think you're talking about
• 59:57
  the CrossFit Games.
• 59:59
  Age groups has been leaning
• 1:00:00
  in this direction for a couple years now.
• 1:00:06
  No, everybody was finishing,
• 1:00:08
  only a couple men totally
• 1:00:11
  blew up on the wall walks
• 1:00:12
  and couldn't finish.
• 1:00:13
  Most of the people finished.
• 1:00:15
  It's just... It was one
• 1:00:18
  style of athlete that finished...
• 1:00:22
  And the rest struggled with
• 1:00:24
  singles on the snatches the
• 1:00:26
  whole way through.
• 1:00:27
  On the women's side,
• 1:00:29
  wall walks on the men's.
• 1:00:37
  The other thing,
• 1:00:38
  they changed the scoring
• 1:00:39
  table the night before the finals.
• 1:00:42
  So we knew there were going
• 1:00:43
  to be cuts after the seventh event.
• 1:00:46
  The eighth event would be half the people.
• 1:00:49
  They were sent an email
• 1:00:50
  Saturday night saying that
• 1:00:52
  the scoring table had changed.
• 1:00:56
  That's fine if you want to
• 1:00:57
  change the scoring table
• 1:00:58
  for less in the field,
• 1:01:00
  but people need to know that.
• 1:01:02
  Not during the competition,
• 1:01:04
  before the competition happens.
• 1:01:08
  Nothing seems shadier than
• 1:01:10
  when the scoring table
• 1:01:11
  changes halfway through a competition.
• 1:01:19
  That is ridiculous.
• 1:01:33
  Um,
• 1:01:35
  But this is the same.
• 1:01:37
  Nope.
• 1:01:38
  It's not what I wanted.
• 1:01:41
  There it is.
• 1:01:42
  He literally says things you say,
• 1:01:44
  if you haven't seen more
• 1:01:45
  than one person do your workout, right?
• 1:01:57
  Honestly,
• 1:01:57
  ninety five percent of the women
• 1:01:58
  under fifty clean and jerk
• 1:02:00
  over two hundred.
• 1:02:01
  The ladies were super impressive.
• 1:02:04
  Yes.
• 1:02:14
  that change in the scoring
• 1:02:15
  for fifteen people scared
• 1:02:17
  me it did because it
• 1:02:19
  basically opened it up for
• 1:02:20
  big jumps and that's what
• 1:02:21
  happened in some of the
• 1:02:22
  divisions there were big
• 1:02:24
  jumps and big drops because
• 1:02:26
  of that change but it
• 1:02:27
  happened in the middle of
• 1:02:28
  the freaking contest
• 1:02:30
  You don't announce it on Saturday night.
• 1:02:32
  That's something you say on
• 1:02:34
  Wednesday before the competition starts.
• 1:02:36
  Because when you wait until Saturday,
• 1:02:38
  it's like you look at the
• 1:02:39
  scoreboard and go, ooh,
• 1:02:41
  we need to give this person
• 1:02:42
  and this person a chance.
• 1:02:43
  And not that I'm saying they did that,
• 1:02:45
  but that has that
• 1:02:46
  appearance of saying that.
• 1:02:55
  Um...
• 1:02:59
  Uh, next thing, the prices,
• 1:03:06
  the prices to get in were ridiculous.
• 1:03:09
  I've talked about this once.
• 1:03:11
  Two hundred and eighty
• 1:03:11
  dollars for the weekend was
• 1:03:13
  flat out stupid.
• 1:03:16
  They had a nice vendor village.
• 1:03:18
  Imagine dropping those
• 1:03:19
  tickets to twenty bucks a
• 1:03:21
  day and people actually
• 1:03:23
  coming to watch and see
• 1:03:25
  what it is or maybe just to
• 1:03:27
  come shop at vendor village.
• 1:03:29
  Who gets happy?
• 1:03:30
  The vendors.
• 1:03:31
  When the vendors are happy,
• 1:03:33
  what are they willing to do?
• 1:03:34
  Pay more money.
• 1:03:35
  So you make up the
• 1:03:37
  difference in your pricing
• 1:03:41
  by charging less for the
• 1:03:42
  general public to come in
• 1:03:44
  Maybe you get more quantity.
• 1:03:46
  You get more quantity.
• 1:03:48
  Then the vendors are happy
• 1:03:50
  and they're willing to pay
• 1:03:51
  more to set up a booth and
• 1:03:52
  they sell more product.
• 1:03:54
  And then they become happier
• 1:03:55
  and they tell other vendors
• 1:03:56
  how good it was there.
• 1:03:58
  And then you grow things in
• 1:03:59
  a different way than just
• 1:04:01
  linear like you is all you
• 1:04:03
  can think about.
• 1:04:04
  It's ridiculous.
• 1:04:09
  The thinking on just keep
• 1:04:11
  raising this price on the
• 1:04:12
  individuals to come watch is ridiculous.
• 1:04:16
  We are not college football.
• 1:04:17
  We are not the NFL.
• 1:04:19
  We are not Major League Baseball even.
• 1:04:21
  We are a niche sport where
• 1:04:23
  we're trying to get people
• 1:04:24
  to fall in love with it.
• 1:04:25
  And you need to make it
• 1:04:26
  affordable for people to
• 1:04:27
  come check it out.
• 1:04:29
  I heard so many stories of people saying,
• 1:04:32
  hey, this is going on down here.
• 1:04:34
  You should bring a bunch of people.
• 1:04:36
  And then they saw the price and went,
• 1:04:39
  we'll wait.
• 1:04:39
  We'll watch it on stream.
• 1:04:41
  We'll do something different.
• 1:04:43
  It's ridiculous.
• 1:04:55
  The Arnold Expo is cheaper.
• 1:04:57
  Bingo.
• 1:05:00
  The Arnold Expo is like thirty bucks.
• 1:05:02
  And they have like a thousand vendors.
• 1:05:06
  And I'm not even joking.
• 1:05:07
  Like a thousand vendors.
• 1:05:11
  A thousand.
• 1:05:15
  So much.
• 1:05:17
  They're just looking at it the wrong way.
• 1:05:21
  The Arnold doesn't make
• 1:05:22
  money because people want
• 1:05:23
  to come watch bodybuilding.
• 1:05:25
  They make money because
• 1:05:26
  people want to come shop.
• 1:05:40
  That's why people go.
• 1:05:43
  But CrossFit can't get their
• 1:05:44
  head around that.
• 1:05:46
  They just can't.
• 1:05:54
  The Arnold is two-packed.
• 1:05:55
  Larry,
• 1:05:56
  you and I are in the same agreement.
• 1:06:00
  The only time you will ever
• 1:06:01
  catch me at the Arnold is
• 1:06:03
  if I'm working it
• 1:06:05
  or if I can get in early on
• 1:06:08
  the Thursday or late on the Sunday.
• 1:06:23
  Vendor fees make them money
• 1:06:24
  because vendor fees get so
• 1:06:26
  many customers.
• 1:06:27
  That is why the Arnold works.
• 1:06:30
  CrossFit has not learned that.
• 1:06:37
  What did rogue charge was
• 1:06:39
  when it was in Columbus?
• 1:06:40
  I don't, I, it wasn't much.
• 1:06:43
  Cause I went the first year
• 1:06:45
  as a spectator on the first day.
• 1:06:47
  It was not much like less than fifty.
• 1:07:07
  Would you ever group the age
• 1:07:08
  group games back with the individuals?
• 1:07:11
  I don't think I would.
• 1:07:13
  I may put it in the same
• 1:07:14
  city earlier in the week,
• 1:07:16
  but never like at the same time.
• 1:07:30
  Rogue at Columbus was my all
• 1:07:31
  time favorite.
• 1:07:32
  Me too.
• 1:07:35
  But then again, I am biased.
• 1:07:36
  I only had to drive twenty
• 1:07:38
  minutes to go see it.
• 1:07:44
  Fluffy fit CrossFit still
• 1:07:45
  tailors to the rich.
• 1:07:47
  If you want more people in,
• 1:07:48
  open it up to a reasonable price.
• 1:07:50
  Amen.
• 1:07:55
  The cheap seats at Round
• 1:07:56
  Rock was like fifty or
• 1:07:58
  sixty a day when Rogue was in Austin.
• 1:08:01
  So, yeah, it was probably thirty five,
• 1:08:03
  forty bucks here in Columbus.
• 1:08:13
  Same here.
• 1:08:13
  I quit going to the Arnold
• 1:08:14
  because I couldn't move around.
• 1:08:16
  It's a safety issue.
• 1:08:17
  Yeah.
• 1:08:19
  I'm too old for that shit.
• 1:08:20
  I'm not going in there,
• 1:08:21
  but that it is a successful
• 1:08:24
  business plan for them.
• 1:08:27
  And maybe, just maybe,
• 1:08:29
  CrossFit should take a look at it.
• 1:08:46
  Though Arnold is a household name,
• 1:08:47
  easier draw for the non-fan
• 1:08:49
  to check out as well.
• 1:08:51
  And bodybuilding has been a
• 1:08:52
  big deal forever.
• 1:08:53
  CrossFit, not so much for Masters,
• 1:08:55
  twenty-five tops.
• 1:08:57
  I'm okay.
• 1:08:58
  Like, eighty is not the right answer.
• 1:09:02
  That's what I'm saying.
• 1:09:03
  Get it down.
• 1:09:04
  Maybe you get some more people.
• 1:09:06
  Maybe you get more vendors.
• 1:09:08
  Then we can talk about more
• 1:09:10
  revenue streams.
• 1:09:24
  All right.
• 1:09:25
  The games as a whole should
• 1:09:27
  be a line item on the
• 1:09:28
  budget sheet that is simply
• 1:09:29
  a large expense to cover
• 1:09:31
  what is required so they
• 1:09:32
  don't have to charge us as
• 1:09:33
  much for tickets.
• 1:09:37
  Right.
• 1:09:37
  But, Vicki,
• 1:09:38
  they can also look at other
• 1:09:39
  funding streams to make
• 1:09:41
  that line item whatever
• 1:09:42
  they need it to be.
• 1:09:44
  And they don't.
• 1:09:45
  They only look at the
• 1:09:46
  traditional ones straight
• 1:09:48
  down the fairway.
• 1:09:50
  There are other ways to make money.
• 1:09:59
  can't they do a real
• 1:09:59
  partnership with the city
• 1:10:01
  more people there more
• 1:10:01
  revenue for the city
• 1:10:02
  overall that's what they're
• 1:10:03
  trying to do the age group
• 1:10:06
  games are trying to come
• 1:10:06
  back to columbus again next
• 1:10:08
  year and they working with
• 1:10:09
  the city this year to build
• 1:10:11
  that up so that there's
• 1:10:12
  more promotion um and the
• 1:10:14
  whole outside of the
• 1:10:15
  convention center had uh
• 1:10:17
  crossfit games banners and stuff um
• 1:10:23
  But they need to prove that
• 1:10:26
  they can bring some people to the venue.
• 1:10:42
  I was always confused when
• 1:10:43
  Rogues built their space to events.
• 1:10:46
  Then we did one and two
• 1:10:47
  events and peaced out.
• 1:10:50
  Because they had to expand
• 1:10:51
  the building and where they
• 1:10:52
  built the venue was gone.
• 1:11:05
  Also, no promotion.
• 1:11:05
  My son lives two miles away
• 1:11:07
  from the venue.
• 1:11:07
  Instead,
• 1:11:08
  he only knew about it because of us.
• 1:11:11
  Fergie Scott,
• 1:11:11
  I did not know you were near Columbus.
• 1:11:13
  Are you friends with Christy
• 1:11:14
  Aramal O'Connell?
• 1:11:15
  She and Pat are incredible
• 1:11:16
  affiliate owners.
• 1:11:17
  Yeah, Fergie,
• 1:11:18
  I went to their affiliate for two years.
• 1:11:21
  Well, up until like just a month ago.
• 1:11:24
  They sold it a few months ago.
• 1:11:27
  And yeah, so I know them.
• 1:11:31
  And that yellow jersey right there,
• 1:11:34
  that's Christy's games jersey.
• 1:11:37
  And it's signed by her.
• 1:11:42
  Yes, CrossFit.
• 1:11:43
  This was probably a proof of concept.
• 1:11:48
  Yeah,
• 1:11:48
  probably should have made tickets
• 1:11:49
  cheaper this year.
• 1:11:50
  Yep.
• 1:11:51
  It was really, there was a lot of people,
• 1:11:53
  more than I've ever seen at
• 1:11:55
  any Masters event.
• 1:11:56
  I will say that.
• 1:11:58
  But I was stunned almost
• 1:12:00
  that that many people came at that price.
• 1:12:14
  I like the convention center.
• 1:12:15
  I just hope they utilize the
• 1:12:16
  space better next time.
• 1:12:18
  Yeah, me too.
• 1:12:19
  I think they could make more
• 1:12:20
  stands to get people up
• 1:12:23
  above the fence sitters so
• 1:12:25
  you can see the floor.
• 1:12:27
  That would have been nice on
• 1:12:28
  more than just one side and
• 1:12:30
  maybe a little bit higher.
• 1:12:35
  If it's back in Columbus,
• 1:12:36
  I'll make it a priority.
• 1:12:38
  It was really fun, man.
• 1:12:39
  We had a blast.
• 1:12:44
  The last bad thing for me is
• 1:12:47
  the damn coffee shop.
• 1:12:49
  There was a coffee shop
• 1:12:50
  right there outside the
• 1:12:52
  doors of where you went into the floors,
• 1:12:54
  and the damn coffee shop
• 1:12:55
  would close at one thirty
• 1:12:56
  two o'clock in the afternoon.
• 1:12:58
  You've got CrossFitters,
• 1:13:00
  five hundred and ten
• 1:13:01
  athletes and all of their
• 1:13:03
  friends who probably drink
• 1:13:04
  coffee all day long and you
• 1:13:06
  couldn't get a coffee in the afternoon.
• 1:13:11
  It was so silly.
• 1:13:15
  Every time I was ready for
• 1:13:16
  my afternoon coffee,
• 1:13:17
  I went over to get one and
• 1:13:18
  they were closed.
• 1:13:26
  How many site visits do you
• 1:13:27
  think they made?
• 1:13:28
  I know they made at least two.
• 1:13:29
  They were between Louisville
• 1:13:31
  and Columbus as the final destination.
• 1:13:34
  They wanted Columbus.
• 1:13:35
  That was their dream city.
• 1:13:37
  Columbus had a scheduling conflict.
• 1:13:39
  So they almost signed on a
• 1:13:41
  dotted line with Louisville.
• 1:13:43
  And then at the last minute,
• 1:13:47
  Columbus had an opening.
• 1:13:48
  They came back and they
• 1:13:50
  signed with Columbus.
• 1:13:52
  And I think they're trying
• 1:13:53
  to make it an every year
• 1:13:55
  thing for at least five years.
• 1:13:58
  And I hope that's the case.
• 1:14:00
  I really do.
• 1:14:06
  that was me the last three
• 1:14:08
  days fergie you need your
• 1:14:11
  afternoon coffee coffee
• 1:14:14
  would draw a headache yeah
• 1:14:15
  I actually had to get an
• 1:14:16
  energy drink yesterday I
• 1:14:17
  just had to louisville has
• 1:14:28
  the great bourbon but the
• 1:14:30
  town is about as charming as albany yeah
• 1:14:35
  Yeah, I'd go.
• 1:14:36
  I'm with CrossFit.
• 1:14:37
  I'd take it.
• 1:14:38
  It definitely would edge out
• 1:14:39
  Albany for me.
• 1:14:41
  My wife and I have had some
• 1:14:42
  good times in Louisville,
• 1:14:43
  but usually we just stop
• 1:14:44
  there for a day before we
• 1:14:47
  hit the bourbon trail or
• 1:14:48
  we're going to Nashville.
• 1:14:52
  But yeah, like the Louisville,
• 1:14:54
  University of Louisville campus area,
• 1:14:56
  no thanks.
• 1:14:57
  That's very Albany.
• 1:14:59
  But the downtown area is pretty nice.
• 1:15:09
  make the old horses run Churchill.
• 1:15:12
  That would be something.
• 1:15:18
  So,
• 1:15:19
  but I also think like you establish a
• 1:15:20
  relationship with a city,
• 1:15:23
  they start working with you.
• 1:15:24
  The promotion gets better,
• 1:15:26
  a lot of stuff like that.
• 1:15:27
  So,
• 1:15:33
  Did you get to chat with
• 1:15:34
  Taylor Bryson about starting Sentinel?
• 1:15:37
  I actually talked to them at
• 1:15:38
  the games about that before
• 1:15:39
  I even started.
• 1:15:42
  And I actually was standing
• 1:15:43
  beside Taylor when Jamie was going today.
• 1:15:50
  And it is really interesting
• 1:15:51
  listening to him talk out
• 1:15:53
  loud as he's watching an athlete go.
• 1:15:56
  And, like,
• 1:15:58
  she was coming to the bar for
• 1:15:59
  the first time.
• 1:16:00
  And he's like, hit this lift.
• 1:16:02
  Hit this lift.
• 1:16:03
  Hit it with confidence.
• 1:16:04
  You got this.
• 1:16:05
  You got this.
• 1:16:06
  She hit it.
• 1:16:07
  Yep, that's it.
• 1:16:08
  That's it.
• 1:16:09
  The entire time.
• 1:16:12
  Which is really fun and
• 1:16:14
  interesting to hear.
• 1:16:25
  I wish they'd use unique
• 1:16:26
  city elements more,
• 1:16:27
  not just run around this place.
• 1:16:29
  Well, they did run around the,
• 1:16:31
  along the river and there
• 1:16:32
  used to be a replica of the
• 1:16:34
  Santa Maria where their start line was,
• 1:16:37
  but because of all the Columbus,
• 1:16:43
  Christopher Columbus stuff going on,
• 1:16:46
  they removed it from the
• 1:16:47
  river and now it's in a
• 1:16:48
  museum somewhere in downtown.
• 1:16:53
  So yeah, it's weird.
• 1:17:04
  Stockyards in Fort Worth was fun.
• 1:17:05
  It was.
• 1:17:07
  Yeah, I had dinner there one night.
• 1:17:08
  It was really good.
• 1:17:12
  So that's about it.
• 1:17:13
  Those are my good and bad.
• 1:17:16
  Again,
• 1:17:16
  next week we'll have Jamie and Carolyn on,
• 1:17:18
  and they can talk about
• 1:17:19
  their experience through it all.
• 1:17:21
  I know that they're
• 1:17:23
  exhausted from the weekend
• 1:17:25
  and going home to recover,
• 1:17:27
  take a couple weeks off.
• 1:17:30
  Um,
• 1:17:30
  I got to talk to a lot of athletes who
• 1:17:32
  I think we're going to have on the show,
• 1:17:34
  uh, periodically,
• 1:17:35
  maybe even at the lunchtime and, uh,
• 1:17:39
  just to add something to our
• 1:17:41
  lunch shows a little bit here and there.
• 1:17:43
  I also talked to, uh, Josh Hicks,
• 1:17:47
  the guy who's over safety
• 1:17:49
  for both WFP and was pulled in on this,
• 1:17:52
  uh, to run the safety plan.
• 1:17:54
  Just going to,
• 1:17:55
  going to have him on talk
• 1:17:56
  about what they're doing there.
• 1:17:57
  We're going to have a lot of
• 1:17:59
  fun times coming up,
• 1:18:00
  made a lot of connections.
• 1:18:02
  We're going to have people on these shows.
• 1:18:03
  Um,
• 1:18:05
  but I can't wait to keep moving forward
• 1:18:06
  with you guys.
• 1:18:13
  Hicks is a good dude he is
• 1:18:20
  Doug Reed is the best read
• 1:18:21
  he is and his name isn't
• 1:18:24
  Doug I remember when there
• 1:18:34
  was a vote to change the
• 1:18:35
  name I voted for Flavortown USA
• 1:18:47
  That's good.
• 1:18:48
  The problem is if you left
• 1:18:49
  it up to people here,
• 1:18:51
  they'd call it something Ohio State,
• 1:18:53
  which just does not land well with me.
• 1:19:04
  Blue plate special lunches
• 1:19:05
  with the Masters.
• 1:19:06
  There we go.
• 1:19:08
  There we go.
• 1:19:12
  Floor announcers.
• 1:19:14
  Yeah.
• 1:19:18
  I thought they did great.
• 1:19:20
  I thought they did great.
• 1:19:24
  The only thing I would say
• 1:19:25
  is at the start of the day for the women,
• 1:19:33
  the announcers announced
• 1:19:35
  the women from fifteenth to
• 1:19:37
  first with like a big
• 1:19:39
  exclamation of this person's in the lead.
• 1:19:43
  As we got to later in the morning,
• 1:19:46
  they were doing it just
• 1:19:49
  lane fifteen down to one,
• 1:19:51
  and it had less of a punch,
• 1:19:54
  and I didn't like that.
• 1:19:55
  I liked that they emphasized the top three,
• 1:19:59
  and this is the person in the lead,
• 1:20:01
  and here we go for the final workout.
• 1:20:03
  Are they going to keep it?
• 1:20:10
  But
• 1:20:13
  Yeah.
• 1:20:13
  Ty Jenkins was great.
• 1:20:16
  Everybody thought he was
• 1:20:17
  just going to be there for the teens.
• 1:20:19
  And when he was out there
• 1:20:21
  announcing the masters,
• 1:20:22
  they were all shocked.
• 1:20:27
  And I was talking to Jen
• 1:20:27
  Dieter who it's in actually
• 1:20:30
  in the interview we do.
• 1:20:32
  She talked about,
• 1:20:33
  she works out with Ty and
• 1:20:35
  all of a sudden she's out
• 1:20:35
  on the floor and he's
• 1:20:37
  announcing and she's like, what, wait,
• 1:20:39
  what?
• 1:20:41
  I thought that was funny.
• 1:20:43
  But yeah, Ty was great.
• 1:20:47
  I thought all the announcers were great.
• 1:20:49
  That's the only criticism I
• 1:20:51
  would have had the whole
• 1:20:52
  day today is let's elevate
• 1:20:57
  the people in the top three.
• 1:20:59
  That's it.
• 1:21:05
  And now here come the more old jokes.
• 1:21:13
  Advil and Icy Hot should
• 1:21:15
  have been sponsors.
• 1:21:24
  Yes, exactly, CrossFat.
• 1:21:27
  Yes.
• 1:21:30
  With the Alan Parsons
• 1:21:31
  project playing in the background.
• 1:21:33
  There you go.
• 1:21:37
  The top three should be
• 1:21:40
  celebrated going into that last event.
• 1:21:43
  Let's get this shit pumped up.
• 1:21:45
  Let's go.
• 1:21:50
  Let's go.
• 1:21:57
  Jay Burch standing on those
• 1:21:58
  cement floors for days.
• 1:22:00
  Two Advil every day to start
• 1:22:01
  the day this week.
• 1:22:03
  Don't you and I know it, brother.
• 1:22:07
  Fifty-five never felt like
• 1:22:09
  sixty so much in my life.
• 1:22:18
  Icy hot is where it's at.
• 1:22:19
  There you go.
• 1:22:22
  All right, guys.
• 1:22:23
  This actually did go almost
• 1:22:24
  ninety minutes with just me
• 1:22:26
  and my blowhard voice.
• 1:22:28
  But here we are.
• 1:22:30
  I could not be prouder of my co-hosts.
• 1:22:33
  They fought all weekend.
• 1:22:35
  The Carolyn Prevost Caroline
• 1:22:37
  Klutz matchup back and
• 1:22:39
  forth on weekend was epic.
• 1:22:42
  So much fun to watch.
• 1:22:45
  And I think it'll be back next year.
• 1:22:47
  Carolyn texted me on her way
• 1:22:49
  home that all this did was
• 1:22:50
  make her hungrier to come
• 1:22:52
  in for the gold next year.
• 1:22:54
  So she's motivated.
• 1:22:58
  And Jamie will probably take
• 1:22:59
  the year off and somehow
• 1:23:01
  talk herself into doing this again.
• 1:23:04
  So don't forget a couple of
• 1:23:06
  the Ron and cuts are on
• 1:23:07
  members only go check that out.
• 1:23:10
  I'll probably put a couple
• 1:23:11
  more of those out and then
• 1:23:14
  I'll start piecing stuff together.
• 1:23:16
  I'm probably going to go
• 1:23:17
  back to the Hattie project
• 1:23:18
  for a little bit,
• 1:23:19
  and then I'll finish up
• 1:23:21
  with the master stuff after that.
• 1:23:23
  But again,
• 1:23:24
  the master stuff is not about
• 1:23:25
  this weekend.
• 1:23:26
  It's more about their livelihoods,
• 1:23:29
  how they got into all this stuff,
• 1:23:31
  why they're doing this stuff.
• 1:23:33
  And all that kind of stuff.
• 1:23:34
  So don't forget to like,
• 1:23:35
  and subscribe to the channel.
• 1:23:37
  Love you guys.
• 1:23:38
  You're the best.
• 1:23:40
  Can't wait for everything to
• 1:23:42
  talk about all week.
• 1:23:43
  I'll be here tomorrow for
• 1:23:44
  lunch with the Clydesdale.
• 1:23:45
  Have no idea what we're
• 1:23:46
  going to talk about,
• 1:23:47
  but we'll talk about
• 1:23:48
  something and we'll see
• 1:23:50
  everybody tomorrow for that.
• 1:23:53
  With that good night and
• 1:23:56
  peace out from Columbus, Ohio.
