1:08
Happy Thanksgiving to each and every one
1:10
of you.
1:11
What is going on?
1:13
Meredith,
1:13
making my grandma's homemade cranberry
1:16
sauce right now.
1:17
Wish me luck.
1:19
Do people actually eat the cranberry
1:20
sauce?
1:23
Now, let's be real.
1:25
Me growing up,
1:26
my version of cranberry sauce is the kind
1:29
that had the rims in it from the
1:31
can that they plopped out onto a plate.
1:37
Does anybody eat?
1:38
Like, I never touch that stuff.
1:41
It doesn't mean I wouldn't.
1:45
Kenneth Delaps has put it on a biscuit
1:47
with butter.
1:48
Delightful.
1:54
I like it,
1:54
which is why I'm making it.
2:00
The best information person in the
2:02
business, Holly Dugan.
2:04
Happy Thanksgiving to you.
2:06
Thank you for the happy Thanksgiving back.
2:13
Shay Cranberry is the best.
2:15
I did have like a cranberry chutney one
2:17
time that my friends tried to make,
2:20
but it was chopped with like,
2:22
like jalapeno peppers and some other
2:24
stuff,
2:25
and the sauce is kind of around it,
2:26
and you kind of spread it on your
2:28
turkey.
2:29
That was pretty good.
2:35
Joseph rumors,
2:35
my dad won't eat anything but the kind
2:37
out of the can,
2:38
I'm assuming is what he's saying.
2:41
Holly has never had any type of cranberry
2:43
sauce.
2:48
Jay Burch,
2:48
New York style cheesecake with sour cream
2:50
topping is prepared and chilled.
2:51
Wow.
2:55
Yeah,
2:56
this is a different kind of Thanksgiving
2:57
for me.
2:58
You are my Thanksgiving dinner because
3:01
with everything that's going on with me
3:02
this week,
3:04
I had to opt out of travel.
3:07
And so I'm here with Walter.
3:08
Me and Walter are having Thanksgiving
3:10
dinner together today.
3:12
So I have some...
3:16
balsamic glazed chicken and some greek
3:20
orzo salad and that's my thanksgiving
3:22
dinner today which is kind of nice because
3:24
i don't like turkey i don't really like
3:27
the traditional turkey thanksgiving stuff
3:31
so i'm just gonna have a nice light
3:33
meal and uh enjoy some football games
3:36
today the football slate is out of this
3:39
world it is um we got the packers
3:43
and the lions to kick off the day
3:46
both on the very edge of the playoffs.
3:51
Then we've got Chiefs Cowboys,
3:54
which some are saying is going to be
3:55
the most viewed regular season game in the
3:59
history of the NFL.
4:02
The Taylor Swift factor with the Chiefs is
4:05
unreal.
4:06
And then the Cowboys draw the biggest
4:08
crowds anyway.
4:09
So that could be insane.
4:12
And then we finish off the night with
4:14
Cincinnati Bengals and the Baltimore
4:17
Ravens, which is crazy.
4:23
Holly, we've been talking.
4:24
Holly doesn't like their traditional
4:26
Thanksgiving stuff either.
4:28
So they're having lasagna and pumpkin pie.
4:32
I used to love pumpkin pie.
4:34
It used to be, like,
4:34
my favorite thing in the world.
4:36
Then I moved to northern Florida,
4:38
which is just below the Georgia border,
4:40
and everybody made sweet potato pie
4:42
instead.
4:44
And now, like,
4:45
I am so in love with sweet potato
4:48
pie.
4:48
Love sweet potato pie.
4:50
Way better than pumpkin pie.
4:56
Apparently,
4:56
Andrew Sten is already in the sauce.
4:59
Burrow is back.
5:00
Playoffs, baby.
5:04
Holly agrees.
5:04
Sweet potato pie is good, too.
5:06
Yeah, I like both,
5:07
but if I had my preference,
5:09
I would take sweet potato over pumpkin.
5:14
Joseph put in some work this morning.
5:16
A thousand burpees.
5:18
Dude, that's crazy.
5:21
So he's starving now.
5:22
I can imagine.
5:25
So back when I was at my fittest,
5:28
before all the stuff started happening,
5:31
I used to do a turkey trot every
5:34
Thanksgiving to give me an excuse to go
5:37
ahead and eat whatever I wanted.
5:39
And then usually, I was so exhausted,
5:42
I couldn't even really eat what I wanted
5:47
to eat.
5:48
My eyes were way bigger than my stomach.
5:50
So...
5:53
Shay has never heard of sweet potato pie.
5:56
Honestly, I'd never heard of it until I,
5:57
until I moved to what they call the
6:00
South.
6:01
Um, and, and then everybody, uh,
6:04
that's what they,
6:05
they are adamant that it's way better than
6:07
pumpkin.
6:07
And I have to agree with it.
6:12
Uh, uh, Shanna working today,
6:14
rice and chicken for me.
6:15
Yep.
6:16
I'm pretty much on the same level with
6:18
you, Shanna.
6:19
I'll toast my chicken to you.
6:23
Shay is Canadian.
6:25
That kind of explains it.
6:30
So you are the complete opposite of the
6:33
South.
6:37
Joseph said the thousand burpees sucked.
6:39
I can only imagine.
6:41
So last night I was here by myself.
6:43
HBO put out a documentary this week.
6:46
I don't know if people saw it,
6:47
but got to use a prop.
6:51
This is, you know,
6:52
I am the big Chicago Bears fan.
6:54
This is the actual,
6:55
an original copy of the Super Bowl shuffle
6:59
from nineteen eighty five when the Bears
7:01
did the Super Bowl shuffle.
7:03
And HBO put out a documentary on the
7:05
making of the Super Bowl shuffle and the
7:08
eighty five bears.
7:10
Watched it last night.
7:13
Very highly disappointed.
7:18
I think that I'm just such a big
7:19
Bears fan.
7:20
I got nothing really new out of the
7:22
whole thing until the very end of the
7:25
documentary.
7:27
And the one thing that I never knew
7:29
is that they were nominated for a Grammy
7:32
for Best R&B Song of the Year,
7:34
the Super Bowl Shuffle.
7:37
And the album went gold.
7:40
All the players that rapped on the album
7:43
got a gold record for the Super Bowl
7:45
Shuffle.
7:49
The other thing that blows my mind is
7:53
in video sales,
7:54
it is the second all-time biggest selling
7:57
music video in the history of music,
8:00
only behind Michael Jackson's Thriller.
8:04
That is insanity.
8:07
I'm a huge Bears fan.
8:09
I know every word to this song.
8:11
I can rap along with every player.
8:14
it is a terrible song.
8:15
There's no way it should have been up
8:16
for a Grammy.
8:17
No way.
8:18
It should be the second highest selling
8:20
video of all time.
8:22
But that was the fandom that surrounded
8:23
the eighty five bears.
8:25
It was insane.
8:27
And and so I watched the documentary and
8:30
I just think that like too many people
8:32
involved just are no longer with us to
8:34
give their input.
8:35
So it didn't get as deep into the
8:37
weeds as
8:38
is I wanted to go in a documentary
8:41
and usually HBO is so good,
8:43
so good at documentaries.
8:44
I love,
8:45
I love what they put together for
8:48
documentaries, but this one was not,
8:51
I mean,
8:51
I would give it a D and I'm
8:53
a bears fan.
8:55
So Jody Lynn,
9:02
I wonder where they are all now.
9:04
Well, I know where Peyton is.
9:05
Yeah.
9:06
We lost Walter Peyton a while ago.
9:10
Jim McMahon was in the documentary.
9:13
Mike Singletary was in the documentary.
9:14
Willie Galt and Gary Fensick.
9:17
Those were the four players that they
9:19
interviewed during the documentary.
9:24
But as for the others, I mean,
9:26
I don't,
9:28
I don't know.
9:29
And I know the team, like, I don't,
9:31
I think they're all still with us just
9:34
doing their own thing, but I,
9:36
I don't really know where that would have
9:37
been a cool conclusion to the documentary
9:40
that might've actually made it a little
9:41
bit better.
9:47
So, but yeah,
9:49
of all the stuff I watched, I,
9:52
that was not good.
9:54
I do not recommend it.
9:55
And that that's coming from a bears fan
9:57
who watches everything bears.
9:59
Um, so there you go.
10:01
I wanted to react to, uh,
10:06
the spin last night did their mountain.
10:09
John Young did his mountain, I should say.
10:11
And I, and I just have to have,
10:12
I have some reaction on two things that
10:15
I have to get off my chest.
10:17
So I'm going to share the mountain.
10:19
Um,
10:19
if you want to know more and and
10:21
the reasons that john has for why his
10:23
mountain is the way it is go watch
10:26
the spin from last night um he goes
10:29
into detail why he puts everybody where he
10:32
does but i'm going to do the easiest
10:36
one first right here on the on this
10:40
next to lowest tier he has alex kazan
10:44
And he says that he can't count Rogue
10:48
as a good thing because that's suited for
10:54
her.
10:56
And...
10:59
I wanted to say, like, listen,
11:02
before she had the car accident,
11:04
she put all of her chips in one
11:07
basket,
11:08
and that basket was the NorCal Classic.
11:10
She dominated that event.
11:12
There was nobody even close to her in
11:14
that event.
11:16
She has a car accident.
11:17
Our only question after the car accident
11:19
was,
11:20
would she be back to her old self?
11:25
She comes back from the car accident.
11:26
She goes to Rogue.
11:28
Super heavy.
11:29
Super brutal.
11:30
People talking about how brutal it was.
11:32
She finishes second.
11:34
Her and Laura are so far in front
11:35
of everybody else.
11:36
It's not even a contention for the top
11:38
two places.
11:40
It is insanity that he has her down
11:43
on the next to bottom tier.
11:45
All we needed to know is,
11:47
is she healthy to get back to where
11:48
she was last year?
11:51
And we saw that at Rogue.
11:53
Yeah, Rogue is heavy.
11:55
Rogue is set up for Alex, sure.
11:57
But we just need to know,
11:58
could she do the movements again?
12:00
Because if she can,
12:01
she's going to be a top athlete.
12:03
And to have her down this far, ridiculous.
12:07
Completely ridiculous.
12:12
So that is the first thing.
12:15
Now the more complicated thing.
12:17
To have Laura Horvat four rungs down,
12:21
five rungs down, whatever the hell it is,
12:25
She has podiumed at the games four times,
12:29
four times.
12:30
I would argue she is the second greatest
12:35
female athlete in the history of CrossFit.
12:39
His point is that this five, one,
12:41
five D is that she has a hole.
12:44
And until she can overcome that hole,
12:47
she doesn't get to go above that line.
12:51
Everybody but Tia has holes.
12:53
Every single person to pick out one
12:56
athlete and to pick on her hole only
13:00
is absolutely ridiculous.
13:03
Four podiums already.
13:05
He actually made the comment that she
13:07
doesn't get to go above the line until
13:09
she podiums where there are handstand
13:12
pushups.
13:13
All right.
13:15
And I know he means deficit strict,
13:16
whatever.
13:17
Whatever the hell that is.
13:20
Here are her four finishes on the podium
13:22
at the CrossFit Games.
13:26
She took second.
13:28
Fibonacci had handstand pushups.
13:33
She took second.
13:34
It had wall walks.
13:38
She took third.
13:40
There were the wall-facing deficit block
13:43
handstand pushups.
13:45
She took fourth.
13:49
She won,
13:50
and it had freestanding handstand push-ups
13:54
during that event.
13:56
So why the hate?
13:59
Why the hate for Laura?
14:01
You may not like her,
14:02
but you have to respect what the hell
14:03
she can do.
14:05
Good Lord,
14:06
to have her down below Emma Lawson and
14:09
Lucy Campbell, who she crushed at Rogue.
14:13
Crushed without, like, not even close.
14:20
Neither one of them have won the games.
14:21
She has.
14:24
They've each podiumed one time.
14:26
She's podiumed four times.
14:29
It's what the hell?
14:33
And to say that she has this hole.
14:36
Well, everybody has a weakness.
14:38
Every single person except Tia has a
14:41
weakness.
14:42
So to pick out hers as worse than
14:44
everybody else's is absolutely ludicrous.
14:53
I, man,
14:56
there's so much Laura hate in our space.
15:00
It is crazy.
15:02
You may not like her personality.
15:04
You may not like her beliefs.
15:06
But what she does on the floor makes
15:08
her the second greatest female athlete of
15:11
all time in this sport.
15:14
The only person that has even an argument
15:16
is Annie.
15:20
Tia won, and Laura Nanny fighting for two.
15:25
So to have her this low, ridiculous.
15:33
I have other things I don't like about
15:34
this mountain,
15:35
but those are the two things that just,
15:37
I lost my mind.
15:40
Lost my mind.
15:45
So I just had to get that off
15:46
my chest.
15:47
So thank you on this Thanksgiving day.
15:49
Thank you, John Young,
15:51
for giving me content and giving me angina
15:56
over what you were saying last night.
16:05
Kipping it real,
16:06
I would like you to make a counter
16:07
mountain.
16:08
I want to see yours visually.
16:11
Make a mountain, Scott.
16:12
I don't want to copy what they do.
16:15
I mean,
16:15
I'll give you a top ten list of
16:17
who I think,
16:19
but I'm not going to do another mountain.
16:27
Princess, fourteen, forty-two.
16:29
Fourteen, one, four, two.
16:31
I absolutely agree.
16:32
I was thinking the exact same thing last
16:34
night.
16:37
I just don't know why everybody picks on
16:42
that one thing.
16:44
There are tons of...
16:46
Every athlete but Matt Frazier and Tia
16:48
Toomey have weaknesses.
16:50
Even Rich Froning couldn't swim back in
16:52
the day or didn't run as well as
16:55
the other athletes.
16:56
Like, everybody has weaknesses and holes.
17:00
Every single person.
17:10
Um...
17:16
So anyway, that is that.
17:22
What else do we got?
17:24
Oh, here we go.
17:25
Thirdsy.
17:26
Yeah, our contributing sponsor,
17:28
thank you so much for everything you do.
17:30
Tomorrow's Black Friday.
17:31
Tomorrow starts the big sale.
17:33
Tomorrow is.
17:35
I'm hearing rumors up to fifty percent
17:36
off.
17:37
And last year, the travel packs sold out.
17:40
So the sale starts tomorrow,
17:42
goes through Tuesday,
17:44
goes through Tuesday at ten p.m.
17:47
You have all that time to order,
17:48
but if they run out of stuff,
17:50
you can't get it.
17:51
So it starts tomorrow morning.
17:54
You get up to, I'm hearing,
17:56
fifty percent off and our code Jazzy.
17:59
Get you free shipping,
18:01
free shipping with that as well.
18:04
It has been a game changer for me
18:06
with everything I've been going through
18:07
medically.
18:09
The fact that this is allowing me to
18:10
sleep at night.
18:12
has been a game changer.
18:14
So make sure you check it out.
18:16
The salted caramel chocolate is probably
18:19
going to go quick.
18:20
If you want to try that new flavor,
18:21
that seasonal flavor,
18:23
please log in tomorrow at thursday.com
18:26
backslash jazzy.
18:30
All right.
18:32
What else do we want to talk about?
18:36
Reality.
18:36
I talked about the reality show that WFP
18:38
should put on instead of trying to compete
18:40
with the CrossFit Games.
18:45
One of my favorite listeners is Pat
18:50
Midgley.
18:52
He's a Masters Games athlete.
18:55
Great dude.
18:55
Great friend.
18:57
And I throw stuff out like this.
18:59
Like, hey,
19:00
let's do a reality show with the WFP.
19:02
It's a way to get eyes on the
19:04
sport in a way that's different than the
19:06
CrossFit Games.
19:07
Because it is obvious that the WFP is
19:09
not going to be able to compete directly
19:11
with the CrossFit Games.
19:12
They need to be different.
19:14
They need to bring something new to the
19:15
table.
19:16
When I throw out these cockamamie ideas,
19:19
and they're half thought out.
19:23
Half thought out.
19:24
I don't,
19:27
I haven't sat down and brainstormed it all
19:29
out,
19:30
but Pat is awesome at finding all the
19:32
holes in what I say.
19:34
And then he sends me these voice memos
19:36
and, and it's great entertainment.
19:39
I absolutely adore him for sending them to
19:41
me.
19:42
The other night I had a long drive.
19:43
I listened to ten minutes of voice memos
19:46
telling me about all the holes in my
19:49
idea for the reality show.
19:52
But I think it's still a valid idea.
19:55
It needs to be parceled out as to
19:59
how it would work,
20:00
how you would put all the pieces together,
20:02
and all of that stuff.
20:04
And one of the big things was that
20:06
CrossFit is leaks everywhere.
20:08
To do an episodic TV show like this,
20:12
you would need a better NDA.
20:14
And I mentioned it briefly yesterday that
20:17
when you look at Hollywood and what they
20:19
put out like Survivor, Special Forces,
20:24
Hell, the fittest,
20:29
whatever the Netflix show is, the one,
20:30
the one hundred fittest or thousand
20:33
whatever.
20:35
None of that stuff leaks because the
20:38
companies have too much money behind it
20:40
and they are forcible with their NDA.
20:44
If you break the NDA,
20:45
they are coming after you.
20:48
And you would need that for this to
20:50
work for sure.
20:52
Not the CrossFit NDA that is kind of
20:54
out there and it's just a suggestion
20:57
because there is no ramifications if you
20:59
leak or not.
21:00
It would need to have the hard penalty
21:03
for people that actually leak the
21:05
information.
21:07
But to have episodic TV of people getting
21:10
cut episode by episode,
21:14
And at the end,
21:14
you have like the lone survivor and they
21:17
have shown that they are fit enough to
21:20
get through the gauntlet of whatever is
21:22
put out there in a CrossFit style,
21:25
I think would bring eyes to the table
21:29
because it would be a competition that you
21:31
could recap in an hour.
21:33
as a,
21:34
as an episode instead of three day long
21:37
weekend, Hey, come watch this competition.
21:40
You're going to love it.
21:41
It's hard to get people to buy in
21:43
initially doing that.
21:45
They may buy in on an episodic TV
21:49
and then say, Oh, let's,
21:50
let me see the fittest fittest.
21:52
Now I'll tune into the games and I
21:55
will, we'll do,
21:58
I will see how it all kind of
21:59
comes out.
22:02
So,
22:05
There's that.
22:14
Lupe, back on the Laura thing.
22:16
She can't do parallette strict deficit
22:18
handstand push-ups.
22:20
Why does that invalidate her more than
22:22
other people who have deficiencies in
22:24
their fitness as well?
22:26
And she has...
22:30
a third place finish at the games where
22:32
they did wall facing deficit handstand
22:35
pushups on those blocks.
22:39
She has four podium finishes at the games
22:43
and everybody wants to discredit her any
22:44
way they can.
22:46
It's ridiculous.
22:57
Taylor versus world but with an after show
22:59
stream of them all living together in
23:00
Airbnb.
23:01
Well,
23:02
Taylor versus the world was only four
23:03
people, this would need to be like people.
23:09
And again, just kind of.
23:13
Again, this is just a spitball idea,
23:16
throwing ideas out there.
23:18
It would definitely need to be refined to
23:20
become a TV show.
23:21
But there are people that specialize in
23:23
this kind of TV that could take this
23:26
idea and make it work for TV.
23:30
And again,
23:30
it's just about getting eyes on the
23:32
fitness competition style of things so
23:35
that you could grow the sport.
23:44
it needs to be on like a netflix
23:48
or a paramount or one of those things
23:51
that is outside of our space to bring
23:53
people in that wouldn't normally watch the
23:56
stuff what he really poked holes in is
24:03
when i said bring in other athletes to
24:06
compete and because
24:10
he was saying that CrossFitters specialize
24:12
in CrossFit.
24:13
Therefore,
24:13
they would automatically be better than
24:16
any athlete you brought in.
24:17
But depending on the tests,
24:19
I think other athletes could show how
24:22
amazing they are in a piece of it
24:26
or in their specialty.
24:32
And then you get to see how the
24:33
CrossFitters match up against someone in
24:36
their specialty.
24:38
Again,
24:39
all just ideas I'm throwing out there.
24:41
Who knows what it all means?
24:44
But I think copying what's already been
24:48
done and saying that we're going to
24:51
take over like what wfp tried to do
24:54
you can't copy the games and then say
24:56
you're new and innovative and and just do
24:59
the same old same old and expect different
25:02
results and i think that's what what's
25:05
happening there it has to be different it
25:07
has to be innovative um right now they're
25:12
just doing this the exact same thing as
25:13
the crossfit games with the season
25:15
structure
25:23
Lupe, sorry.
25:24
I didn't detect the sarcasm in the written
25:29
word.
25:34
Okay.
25:37
So yeah.
25:38
So anyway, there's that.
25:41
The other thing that kind of has been
25:42
making the rounds on Instagram,
25:44
and I don't know if you've seen this,
25:47
but and i don't really know much about
25:49
it so i'm just going to throw it
25:51
out there have you seen the reel with
25:53
this gentleman right here i'm going to go
25:55
ahead and play that and uh
26:00
Trying CrossFit for the first time today.
26:02
Right now we're in Tennessee visiting my
26:04
family for Thanksgiving.
26:05
I'm really excited for that but an
26:07
opportunity came up today for us to visit
26:09
one of the biggest CrossFit gyms in the
26:11
country and I'm going to be doing a
26:13
full class this afternoon.
26:15
I'm nervous but I'm excited.
26:18
Starting out the day with some clean
26:19
protein.
26:20
I got my legs wrapped.
26:22
We're going to visit my cousin for lunch
26:24
and then it's time to get after it.
26:26
I'm
26:28
So I saw this on Claire Bay's story.
26:32
I looked into it a little bit.
26:34
If you look at the comments,
26:35
like James Sprague has commented,
26:38
Craig Howard.
26:42
What's interesting is this guy is on a
26:43
weight loss journey,
26:45
and he is now in Tennessee for
26:47
Thanksgiving.
26:48
I'm assuming he's going to Mayhem because
26:50
he's saying he's going to one of the
26:51
biggest CrossFit gyms in the world,
26:53
and he's going to try CrossFit for the
26:55
first time.
26:57
This is freaking cool.
27:02
One,
27:02
it reminds me of when I first walked
27:05
into a CrossFit gym and how excited,
27:08
how terrified, how frightened,
27:10
how all those things I was.
27:15
On Claire's Instagram,
27:17
she says that there's going to be a
27:18
behind the scenes of what happened during
27:23
this visit to Mayhem.
27:26
And so I'm anxious to see what is
27:28
going to happen with this guy showing up
27:31
at mayhem.
27:32
How is he treated?
27:33
What kind of workout do they put him
27:34
through?
27:35
How do they explain it to him?
27:38
How does he scale?
27:41
This live action view of what it's like
27:46
to walk into a gym, not fit,
27:49
not healthy, not and trying to get there.
27:54
I think is going to could move the
27:57
needle in a way that other campaigns,
28:00
other things have not.
28:04
I'm anxious to see how it goes.
28:07
I'm going to try to keep following along
28:10
and hopefully there is a behind the
28:11
scenes.
28:13
Again,
28:13
all my information is from Claire's
28:15
Instagram.
28:16
And so I hope that there's more
28:19
information to come.
28:21
And I don't even know who's behind it.
28:24
He's wearing a Jocko Fuel t-shirt.
28:27
He is drinking Jocko Fuel.
28:29
I'm assuming they are part of this as
28:33
a sponsor of his weight loss journey.
28:36
So it'll be interesting to see how this
28:37
all goes.
28:41
I'm curious to know your thoughts on if
28:44
you think that is something...
28:49
if that is something that would move you
28:52
or move the needle for people you know
28:55
seeing a real person walk into a crossfit
28:57
gym for the first time on video holly
29:02
thinks it's awesome uh kenneth thinks i
29:05
should invite claire on see if she can
29:07
give you the rundown um i can try
29:09
to do that um
29:12
I actually canceled the guest I had this
29:14
week because of everything I have going on
29:17
with my sinuses and lungs,
29:20
just because I it's touch and go
29:24
throughout the day, how I feel.
29:26
And I didn't want to put that on
29:27
a guest.
29:28
Um, so if I feel good,
29:32
I come down and I do the show.
29:33
It's easy for me to like cancel just
29:35
me.
29:36
If I have a guest,
29:37
it makes it much harder.
29:39
And so.
29:42
That's why I just haven't had guests on,
29:44
but I can invite Claire on maybe.
29:48
I'll see if she can come on tomorrow
29:50
and add more context to it.
29:52
If she knows any more context.
29:53
So, yeah.
30:01
But I thought it was awesome.
30:03
Truly thought it was awesome.
30:05
I can't wait to see where it goes.
30:11
so anything else on the docket today not
30:15
much um i hope you guys enjoy your
30:19
thanksgiving dinner uh holly said there's
30:25
a couple stories on his ig yeah imagine
30:31
the content if every affiliate gave away a
30:34
free one-year membership and followed
30:36
their progress by providing content to
30:38
crossfit media
30:46
Lupe says,
30:46
should have signed Frank Ragnow,
30:49
the Bears.
30:50
I don't think they can.
30:51
When you retire,
30:52
you're still attached to the team you
30:54
retired from,
30:55
and it would have to be a trade.
30:59
But he came out of retirement,
31:00
and he's going to go back with the
31:02
Lions.
31:04
Not today, but probably next week.
31:09
DataWad says it shows his workout.
31:17
Okay.
31:19
Let me see if I can find that.
31:33
Okay.
31:34
I'll go ahead and show that, share that.
31:41
So here are his stories.
31:44
He is at mayhem.
31:47
that's josh malone on the right you can
31:51
tell because he's always wearing the tight
31:53
shirt and i cannot get the where's the
31:59
volume volume try to keep tension on the
32:04
band all the way down
32:22
And then I'm going to show you what
32:26
the difference is.
32:54
I am so freaking tired.
32:56
Danny and I have been on the road
32:58
literally six out of the last seven weeks.
33:01
I completed my first CrossFit class today
33:03
and it was ridiculous.
33:04
And then we spent the evening with family.
33:07
Tomorrow,
33:08
there's going to be like twenty freaking
33:11
people here for Thanksgiving.
33:12
Family that I haven't seen in like three
33:15
years at this point.
33:17
So there it is.
33:22
I understand Josh will take great care of
33:24
him at Mayhem.
33:25
Yeah, Josh is a great dude.
33:29
I think, I don't know, Andrew, did you,
33:31
that would have been before we met.
33:34
Mayhem Classic,
33:35
the first one they ever did in twenty
33:37
nineteen, twenty twenty.
33:40
I volunteered for it was really fun and
33:43
I got to meet Josh,
33:43
got to know everybody there at Mayhem.
33:45
It was really, really cool.
33:51
Yeah, I saw the WFP workouts.
33:55
I didn't want to talk about them entirely
33:58
today because...
34:00
Again, I am not an expert in programming.
34:04
I like when Jamie and Carolyn give their
34:06
input.
34:07
I have a lot of Carolyn's input.
34:09
She texted me a lot this morning.
34:12
But I want to have them talk about
34:15
it Sunday night.
34:18
The thing I find fascinating is why
34:20
release it on Thanksgiving Day?
34:22
I know Amanda Harry talked about how...
34:25
they may try to release things on
34:27
Thanksgiving as most of Americans would
34:30
not be paying attention.
34:31
Most people in the U S and maybe
34:33
they could sneak things through without
34:35
being people being so critical.
34:37
But I have seen that, um, uh,
34:41
Hiller's already done a video on the
34:43
workouts.
34:45
The one thing that I questioned big time
34:48
about these workouts is it is obvious that
34:51
they're heavy and,
34:52
And you've already had a lot of people
34:55
withdraw.
34:56
Now,
34:57
if you see all these workouts and you've
34:59
been dealing with injuries like a back
35:03
injury,
35:04
like say Alexis Raptus had a back injury
35:06
this year, working through that,
35:09
is this something that now,
35:10
if you were on the fence,
35:12
pushes you to withdraw now that you've
35:14
seen it?
35:16
Or do you try to get through it?
35:21
Jeff Adler coming off an injury,
35:23
gets through Rogue,
35:25
talks about how he didn't even trust his
35:30
body going through Rogue.
35:32
Do you risk it after already missing one
35:35
tour stop to go to Copenhagen and do
35:38
these heavy workouts?
35:40
Or is it something that you think you're
35:41
good at and you're going to go?
35:43
Does it push you to withdraw now that
35:44
you've seen them all?
35:46
Ariel Loewen in her video talked about how
35:49
her back burned through Rogue.
35:51
Looking at these,
35:53
probably going to burn again.
35:55
Is it worth the risk before the CrossFit
35:58
Games season to go through all of this
36:01
again?
36:09
Derek Summers, yep,
36:10
seeing all the workouts, well,
36:11
some athletes confirm that they are out.
36:13
I believe so, too.
36:14
I think that...
36:16
For people especially that were dealing
36:17
with injuries this season,
36:19
this is the straw that breaks the camel's
36:21
back,
36:22
and then they are going to call it
36:25
a day.
36:30
Kenneth DeLapp, he gets paid regardless,
36:32
right?
36:33
What I believe is that they've all been
36:35
paid their guaranteed money in the first
36:37
two tour stops,
36:38
and there is no guaranteed money at the
36:41
finals.
36:42
The finals is just the thing that sets
36:44
you up for next season's guaranteed money.
36:48
So if you don't care about next season's
36:50
money,
36:52
the only people getting paid are how you
36:54
finished in the season standings is my
36:59
take, is how I understand it.
37:01
I could be wrong.
37:09
Yeah, I said sneaking things through.
37:11
Actually,
37:11
Amanda Harry is the one that came up
37:13
with this.
37:13
I don't want to steal her idea.
37:16
On her video,
37:16
she talked about how maybe all the
37:19
withdrawals would be announced on
37:21
Thanksgiving where there would be less
37:24
media attention.
37:29
Stellar job by WFP social media people.
37:34
No, WFP is Christmas week, Kenneth.
37:42
uh lupe says you take the free flights
37:44
then drop out jody says free flight isn't
37:47
worth it at christmas time it's a lot
37:56
it's a lot yeah i think i think
38:01
amanda was on to something with trying to
38:03
sneak things through on a day where people
38:06
aren't paying attention in the states
38:09
They're more concerned with their
38:10
international clientele at this point.
38:12
And they don't celebrate Thanksgiving.
38:15
So for them, it's just a normal day.
38:18
And so they announced the workouts to them
38:20
here in the States.
38:22
They tried to sneak through.
38:23
But as you know, Hiller's always looking,
38:27
always watching.
38:28
And the video is already out.
38:29
And if he's put it out,
38:31
more eyes are going to see it.
38:33
But I know Carolyn has thoughts already.
38:37
We're going to talk about it Sunday night
38:38
for sure.
38:39
We'll go through all the workouts and get
38:42
her opinion on all that as well as
38:44
Jamie.
38:47
So we're not going to skip over it.
38:49
It's just I am not a programming expert
38:51
and I don't know enough to give my
38:55
take on different things.
39:00
I know where my lane is and that
39:03
is not it.
39:04
The only point I want to make is
39:06
I think that more people withdraw after
39:09
seeing how heavy it is,
39:10
especially if you have nagging injuries or
39:13
you've been fighting through an injury all
39:14
season.
39:15
Why would you want to risk going through
39:17
that again by doing another heavy
39:21
competition that may be overprogrammed?
39:29
So.
39:32
With that,
39:33
we're just a couple minutes away from
39:34
kickoff.
39:36
I'm going to let you guys go watch
39:37
some football,
39:37
go have some dinner with your friends and
39:40
family.
39:42
Walter and I will be having our chicken
39:44
and orzo Greek salad and enjoying that.
39:55
Medeiros will honor his commitment.
39:57
He's got a solid moral and ethical
40:00
compass.
40:05
he probably also likes the guaranteed
40:07
money for next season too.
40:09
Like let's not,
40:12
I do think he's going to honor it
40:13
after watching boys interrupted this week.
40:15
I think he and James and Dallin appear
40:18
to be going regardless of whatever is
40:21
going on.
40:22
Um, by the way they were talking, uh,
40:26
they've already tested the workouts that
40:28
were released.
40:29
And I do believe that the three of
40:30
them are competing for sure.
40:37
so plus i think that that justin is
40:48
growing in appreciation for the community
40:51
and the fan base around all the fitness
40:55
competitions
41:02
Derek Summers, other than the first heat,
41:03
it should still be a fun competition to
41:05
watch.
41:06
I mean, I'm going to watch it,
41:07
but I am a CrossFit nerd.
41:09
I watch all of this stuff.
41:11
Like,
41:12
I'm not the person they're trying to
41:13
attract to this thing because I'm going to
41:15
watch it regardless.
41:18
It's the fringe people they need to get
41:23
into the crowds and into the streams.
41:30
Wayne Short, every time someone drops out,
41:31
Roman's smile gets bigger.
41:33
I'll tell you what,
41:34
James Sprague's smile better be...
41:36
James is in the lead,
41:37
and every time someone drops out,
41:39
his lead gets bigger.
41:43
But Roman made a comment,
41:45
Corey sent it to me,
41:47
on the workout three, where Roman said,
41:50
now I see why every...
41:53
This is very loosely interpreting what he
41:55
said,
41:55
but now I see why people are dropping
41:57
out.
41:58
And then Sprague responded,
41:59
it's just you and me, big boy.
42:07
Having star power sure helps improve the
42:08
numbers of views.
42:11
I don't know if you can even...
42:16
We can't see the numbers.
42:18
We only are being told what the numbers
42:20
are because they're doing it on their own
42:21
website.
42:23
So I don't know how true any of
42:25
that is.
42:28
I don't know how true any of that
42:29
is.
42:31
The track record of the transparency and
42:33
honesty of WFP over the course of this
42:38
year has not been great for them to
42:41
be the only ones that know what the
42:43
true numbers are and be the ones to
42:48
tell us what they are.
42:49
I don't know.
42:56
Hopefully, Dallin doesn't bow out.
42:58
It didn't sound like he was going to
42:59
bow out when boys interrupted,
43:03
but you never know.
43:04
He could test them and then say,
43:06
my body's not recovered enough,
43:07
and I need to take a couple more
43:09
months to make sure that I'm ready for
43:10
the game season.
43:12
And all that would be valid.
43:15
Like,
43:17
that's where the true exposure and money
43:20
is, is the CrossFit game season.
43:23
And that has to be their priority.
43:32
All right, guys.
43:35
I'm going to head up,
43:36
turn on some football,
43:38
enjoy the rest of my day.
43:40
I hope you guys enjoyed the rest of
43:41
your day.
