  We brave the cold to hang out with
• 0:06
  you next on Sunday Night CrossFit Talk.
• 0:39
  What is going on, everybody?
• 0:41
  Welcome to Sunday, Sunday,
• 0:44
  Sunday Night CrossFit Talk.
• 0:47
  We are so good to be here with
• 0:49
  you guys tonight.
• 0:50
  What's up, Vicky?
• 0:51
  What's up, CJ?
• 0:52
  Glad to have you guys in the chat.
• 0:54
  I know the NFC Championships game is going
• 0:57
  on, but my bears are out,
• 0:59
  so I don't care.
• 0:59
  Yeah, it's a true Sunday night, huh?
• 1:03
  I love football.
• 1:04
  I would love to watch the game,
• 1:06
  but I really, either way,
• 1:08
  I'm good on this one, so...
• 1:10
  We were talking off the air.
• 1:14
  It's either Matt Stafford cements his Hall
• 1:17
  of Fame ticket or Sam Darnold gets off
• 1:19
  the scrap heap.
• 1:21
  Either one are good stories.
• 1:22
  Now that I'm in the media world,
• 1:24
  I look at stories.
• 1:25
  What's the coolest story?
• 1:28
  So that's what it's for me.
• 1:32
  Your lines do make the playoffs.
• 1:33
  I know.
• 1:33
  It is what it is.
• 1:40
  Yeah.
• 1:42
  How can he be on the scrap heap
• 1:44
  still?
• 1:44
  Because that one time that the NFL films
• 1:48
  caught him saying, all I see is ghosts.
• 1:51
  It has stuck with him ever since.
• 1:53
  The poor kid.
• 1:56
  I really want him to like...
• 1:58
  he went one,
• 1:59
  fourteen games last year and they still
• 2:01
  are saying he wasn't good enough to stay
• 2:02
  with the Vikings.
• 2:04
  And then he wins another fourteen games
• 2:05
  this year and there's still questions.
• 2:07
  I think he just it'd be cool to
• 2:10
  see him go to the Super Bowl and
• 2:12
  prove everybody wrong.
• 2:17
  What jersey does Stafford wear into
• 2:19
  Canton?
• 2:19
  Well, I know Jamie's guess.
• 2:25
  I don't know.
• 2:26
  You don't want him in a Lions jersey?
• 2:29
  Stafford played for the Rams and the
• 2:31
  Lions.
• 2:32
  Yeah.
• 2:33
  I don't know.
• 2:34
  I feel like he's – I mean,
• 2:35
  he got so much hate,
• 2:37
  so much booing when he would come back
• 2:40
  into the stadium that I don't know that
• 2:42
  he's going to support a Lions jersey.
• 2:46
  He won two Super Bowls with the Rams
• 2:48
  if he wins this year.
• 2:49
  Exactly.
• 2:51
  Right.
• 2:51
  I shouldn't count that before it's
• 2:53
  hatched, but yeah.
• 2:57
  I came in from the garage, Shelly,
• 2:58
  watching Broncos with a puzzled face.
• 3:01
  What are you watching?
• 3:02
  The Texans are out.
• 3:06
  That game, you know,
• 3:07
  talk about that Bronco game.
• 3:09
  The snow came in like a hurricane at
• 3:12
  the end of that game.
• 3:13
  And that is what we've been dealing with
• 3:14
  here since five thirty a.m.
• 3:17
  We have fifteen inches of snow.
• 3:19
  It is utterly crazy.
• 3:20
  I posted some pictures on Instagram and
• 3:25
  then I have a couple here.
• 3:27
  I'm going to show,
• 3:30
  I sent these to the team.
• 3:32
  This is, um, this is my mailbox.
• 3:35
  I'm going to blow this up a little
• 3:37
  bit.
• 3:37
  I don't know if you can see it,
• 3:39
  but the snow is stacked to the,
• 3:43
  you know,
• 3:43
  almost to the top of the mailbox.
• 3:45
  My wife just went out and shoveled again.
• 3:47
  This was our fourth time today.
• 3:50
  That's crazy.
• 3:50
  Before it came down.
• 3:53
  And so,
• 3:54
  and I don't know if you can see
• 3:55
  this over here,
• 3:56
  there's been no plow today.
• 3:58
  So all the snow at the end of
• 3:59
  our driveway, that has not been plowed.
• 4:03
  There's no way we're getting out of here.
• 4:05
  That's not good.
• 4:07
  Snow day for you tomorrow, huh?
• 4:08
  Well, if you remember correctly,
• 4:10
  tomorrow was supposed to be my lung
• 4:12
  biopsy.
• 4:13
  Yes.
• 4:14
  So they called today and said that's now
• 4:16
  been canceled.
• 4:19
  So they said they would get me in
• 4:20
  as quickly as possible,
• 4:21
  but because of the septoplasty I'm having
• 4:24
  on Thursday,
• 4:25
  they can't do it this coming Monday.
• 4:28
  It'll have to be the following Monday.
• 4:30
  Okay.
• 4:33
  So, yeah, it's been crazy.
• 4:36
  Vicki, they got four inches and now ice.
• 4:38
  Yeah,
• 4:39
  I would rather have twenty seven inches of
• 4:41
  snow and no ice than anything with ice.
• 4:46
  Yeah.
• 4:47
  Uh,
• 4:47
  Judy Reed says David's been shoveling all
• 4:48
  day.
• 4:49
  Yeah.
• 4:49
  We've done four rounds of shovel.
• 4:51
  That's crazy.
• 4:52
  We've only done two.
• 4:53
  So I'm thankful at this point.
• 4:55
  I mean,
• 4:56
  it's freezing here and I don't think it's
• 4:58
  getting above for the next week, but yeah,
• 5:01
  we're supposed to be negative.
• 5:02
  Like day morning.
• 5:05
  I think that's insane.
• 5:08
  Yeah.
• 5:08
  Did you, um,
• 5:09
  did you see how area low in, uh,
• 5:13
  treated the snow?
• 5:15
  No.
• 5:16
  So I'll show that now.
• 5:20
  So this is a snowboard,
• 5:21
  a crossover symmetry band,
• 5:24
  and a four-wheeler.
• 5:26
  Oh, my gosh.
• 5:27
  Oh, my gosh.
• 5:32
  Now,
• 5:32
  that is quite the use for a crossover
• 5:34
  symmetry band.
• 5:36
  Yeah.
• 5:39
  Isn't it wild how Texans go snowboarding?
• 5:46
  I can't believe they even have snow.
• 5:47
  That's just wild to me.
• 5:53
  So, yeah.
• 5:55
  Some fun stuff.
• 5:56
  You do anything fun this weekend?
• 5:59
  No, nothing.
• 6:01
  OSU already canceled Monday and Tuesday.
• 6:04
  Wow, that's crazy.
• 6:05
  We...
• 6:07
  There was some like I'm in the like
• 6:09
  MSU parents Facebook group and there's
• 6:12
  lots of chatter about that.
• 6:13
  I mean, tons of out of state kids.
• 6:15
  Right.
• 6:15
  And people just don't really know.
• 6:18
  But they I was doing a little bit
• 6:20
  of diving into that because there was a
• 6:22
  couple of people posting and asking if
• 6:23
  like possibly we would have been closed on
• 6:25
  Friday because it was like a negative.
• 6:27
  Fifteen windchill.
• 6:29
  And people were like, no,
• 6:30
  they haven't closed since like nineteen
• 6:32
  ninety four and that it was something
• 6:33
  crazy.
• 6:34
  And then like nineteen seventy something
• 6:35
  before.
• 6:36
  And I was I had read and I
• 6:38
  don't know,
• 6:38
  maybe I need to do more research that
• 6:40
  someone from Michigan sued.
• 6:44
  A while back for tuition back for a
• 6:48
  snow day, a couple snow days,
• 6:50
  and so like neither you MSU or U
• 6:53
  of M will cancel anymore for like almost
• 6:56
  no reason.
• 6:57
  It's crazy.
• 6:58
  maybe just fight the people that are,
• 7:00
  that do the frivolous lawsuits.
• 7:02
  It's so ridiculous.
• 7:06
  Yeah.
• 7:07
  I, we, we've been talking all weekend,
• 7:08
  of course.
• 7:09
  Like when I was a kid, we didn't,
• 7:11
  I grew up in the Appalachian mountains.
• 7:13
  We had chains on our bus tires.
• 7:15
  So like we went to school come hell
• 7:17
  or high water.
• 7:17
  It was, it had to be like,
• 7:18
  it had to be like,
• 7:19
  it had to be like,
• 7:19
  it had to be like,
• 7:20
  it had to be like,
• 7:20
  it had to be like,
• 7:21
  it had to be like,
• 7:22
  it had to be like,
• 7:23
  it had to be like,
• 7:23
  it had to be like,
• 7:23
  or an ice storm.
• 7:25
  I don't think I got more than three
• 7:27
  or four days off ever of school.
• 7:30
  And now here in Ohio,
• 7:32
  they shut down school if the wind's too
• 7:34
  strong.
• 7:34
  Like I remember getting into my full
• 7:37
  snowsuit all the way like ankles to neck
• 7:42
  and putting the mittens on and the
• 7:45
  snowmobile boots and hopping on and
• 7:47
  waiting for the bus and off we went.
• 7:49
  Yeah, it's crazy.
• 7:56
  I know some of the colleges just never
• 7:57
  cancel, but teachers will.
• 7:59
  Yeah.
• 8:00
  There are, and my son doesn't have any,
• 8:01
  but there are some, I have,
• 8:03
  I had read that a couple of people
• 8:05
  said that some of the professors had gone
• 8:07
  either to virtual or just canceled the
• 8:08
  class.
• 8:09
  Yeah.
• 8:10
  But yeah, I don't know.
• 8:11
  It's you got kids who travel an hour
• 8:15
  and most professors won't call it for
• 8:17
  fifteen minutes beforehand.
• 8:18
  And it's like,
• 8:19
  I just made this trek in this dangerous
• 8:21
  weather.
• 8:22
  And now you're going to tell me we're
• 8:23
  going virtual.
• 8:24
  I mean, I guess you're there.
• 8:25
  You can go into a lab or something,
• 8:27
  but.
• 8:29
  It's oh, she's saying it's virtual.
• 8:31
  Yeah, that that makes sense, Judy.
• 8:35
  It's virtual classes.
• 8:36
  My bad.
• 8:37
  Yeah.
• 8:37
  Yeah.
• 8:37
  See, that's what like my work,
• 8:39
  we've never shut down because they don't
• 8:42
  want the citizens to think the state's
• 8:43
  taking a day off.
• 8:44
  Right.
• 8:45
  But it's a level three snow emergency in,
• 8:48
  in my County and the County that my
• 8:50
  office is in,
• 8:51
  if I had to go in.
• 8:53
  So that means you get arrested if you're
• 8:55
  on the road.
• 8:56
  Yeah.
• 8:57
  So now you're forced to take leave or
• 8:59
  get arrested.
• 9:01
  which should never.
• 9:03
  And we have the capability because of
• 9:04
  COVID.
• 9:05
  Everybody can take their laptop home and
• 9:07
  can work from home.
• 9:08
  They should have said on Friday,
• 9:10
  if this snow hits,
• 9:12
  you are good to work from home.
• 9:14
  And that way they,
• 9:15
  you get the eight hours of work instead
• 9:17
  of forcing people to take leave and be
• 9:21
  off for the eight hours.
• 9:21
  It's what they do is ridiculous.
• 9:25
  I hate it so much.
• 9:30
  Yeah, well,
• 9:31
  put your arms down when you get to
• 9:32
  school.
• 9:32
  Exactly.
• 9:33
  It was the Christmas story all the time
• 9:36
  for me growing up.
• 9:38
  I had to walk to it.
• 9:39
  So I lived beside a general store.
• 9:41
  So I had to walk from my house
• 9:42
  down to the general store.
• 9:43
  And it may be like feet of snow
• 9:45
  that I had to walk down through to
• 9:47
  get to that to catch the bus.
• 9:49
  So we were always, always.
• 9:54
  Some areas canceled altogether because
• 9:55
  without power, you can't do virtual.
• 9:59
  I haven't heard much about power outages
• 10:00
  here yet because we had like a light,
• 10:02
  it was like a dry snow,
• 10:05
  but it's a lot of it.
• 10:07
  Uh, Judy, yes, it was uphill both ways.
• 10:09
  That was where my head was going to.
• 10:12
  So difficult back in my day.
• 10:16
  Uh,
• 10:18
  Vicki says the training in my garage
• 10:19
  tomorrow should be interesting.
• 10:21
  Can you do CrossFit and ski pants and
• 10:22
  a puffy jacket?
• 10:24
  You can.
• 10:25
  Yeah, you can.
• 10:26
  Now, hips may not go below parallel.
• 10:32
  But I think in that one case, no,
• 10:34
  Hiller was still calling no rep.
• 10:37
  As long as she doesn't say I PR'd
• 10:39
  and doesn't proclaim anything,
• 10:41
  just be like, yeah, it's good training.
• 10:46
  Yeah, fun stuff.
• 10:48
  The only thing we did this weekend was
• 10:50
  watch the football games, of course.
• 10:51
  And I watched three movies.
• 10:55
  And I watched the Bruce Springsteen movie,
• 10:57
  Deliver Me From Nowhere.
• 10:59
  Okay.
• 10:59
  With the guy from The Bear.
• 11:02
  Okay.
• 11:04
  Very good movie.
• 11:07
  not action-packed in any way it was very
• 11:09
  much a drama and about that great very
• 11:12
  refined movie um i watched roof man about
• 11:15
  the guy who hit out on the in
• 11:17
  the toys r us for six months uh
• 11:19
  from the cops way better than i thought
• 11:21
  it was going to be thought it was
• 11:22
  just going to be a goofy uh i
• 11:25
  think it's channing tatum movie and it was
• 11:27
  really really good i'll have to check that
• 11:30
  one out
• 11:30
  And then I watched Smashing Machine,
• 11:33
  the rock movie about Mark Kerr,
• 11:35
  the UFC fighter.
• 11:37
  Okay.
• 11:38
  Terrible movie.
• 11:40
  Wasted two hours of my life.
• 11:43
  So bad.
• 11:43
  You can't win them all.
• 11:46
  It had no direction.
• 11:48
  The Rock, his performance was great.
• 11:51
  Emily Blunt was great acting.
• 11:54
  They could not pick a storyline.
• 11:56
  It was so all over the map and
• 11:58
  none of them ended.
• 11:59
  None of the stories ended.
• 12:01
  They had like sixteen of them and they
• 12:02
  didn't finish any of them.
• 12:05
  That's awful.
• 12:05
  I was so pissed at the end.
• 12:07
  So pissed I wasted two hours.
• 12:09
  Yeah, that's frustrating.
• 12:12
  And like Contra,
• 12:13
  like the Bruce Springsteen movie,
• 12:16
  it only did like one album,
• 12:18
  like one album of his life.
• 12:19
  Very focused,
• 12:21
  very much driven into that one storyline,
• 12:24
  why that album happened and why it was
• 12:26
  different than anything else.
• 12:27
  Very focused and very good.
• 12:29
  Smashing Machine, complete opposite.
• 12:32
  Trainwreck.
• 12:35
  We watched his and hers.
• 12:37
  Okay.
• 12:37
  I think, have I seen that?
• 12:42
  I don't know.
• 12:42
  It's pretty new.
• 12:43
  It's, I mean, it's his,
• 12:44
  basically his storyline, her storyline.
• 12:46
  And you know,
• 12:47
  they say there's three sides to every
• 12:48
  story, right?
• 12:49
  Oh, it was, it was good.
• 12:54
  Okay.
• 12:54
  It's like five episodes.
• 12:55
  It was a little limited series thing.
• 12:56
  It was, it was good.
• 12:59
  Jody liked Roofman.
• 13:01
  Eric Mackey said Smashing Machine was
• 13:03
  tense.
• 13:03
  I think that was part of the point.
• 13:05
  I would have been cool with it.
• 13:08
  So there's the drug addiction part.
• 13:09
  There's the being the innovator of UFC
• 13:12
  part.
• 13:12
  There is the toxic relationship with his
• 13:16
  girlfriend part.
• 13:17
  There's the friendship with Mark Coleman.
• 13:20
  There's all these different storylines and
• 13:22
  none of them
• 13:23
  got concentrated on it was just a little
• 13:25
  bit of this a little bit of that
• 13:27
  all of them could have been good if
• 13:28
  they would have picked one or two of
• 13:29
  them that's my point so there it is
• 13:36
  yeah it sounds like i mean the a-list
• 13:38
  cast and then you can't that sucks uh
• 13:41
  the rip is good um i saw the
• 13:44
  rip i saw rip i've heard of that
• 13:46
  one it's matt damon and ben affleck and
• 13:48
  it's a netflix only
• 13:52
  and i the problem i had with that
• 13:54
  it was it was a good movie i
• 13:56
  shut it off because i i was having
• 13:59
  a hard time with all the confusing stories
• 14:03
  and i just i didn't have the attention
• 14:04
  span at that moment so i shut it
• 14:06
  off and then when i came back it
• 14:09
  all cleared up within like two minutes
• 14:10
  after me turning it back on and i'm
• 14:12
  so pissed i turned it off when i
• 14:14
  did because it really did turn out to
• 14:17
  be a really awesome movie but i i
• 14:19
  almost gave up on it too soon
• 14:25
  Okay, good to know.
• 14:31
  I like Simmons comment.
• 14:32
  He said the rip had too good of
• 14:34
  a cast for a B movie.
• 14:40
  It really got good at the end.
• 14:41
  It just
• 14:44
  And there's a reason why it was confusing
• 14:46
  in the beginning.
• 14:46
  And I didn't understand why it was
• 14:48
  confusing until you get to the end and
• 14:50
  the point they're trying to make.
• 14:52
  And that's when I just shut it off
• 14:55
  two minutes too soon.
• 14:57
  And thank God I went back and gave
• 14:58
  it a shot.
• 15:11
  Okay.
• 15:12
  Grace's for fifteen forty.
• 15:15
  Marty Supreme loved it.
• 15:16
  Yeah.
• 15:17
  I don't know what it's about.
• 15:18
  It looks interesting.
• 15:19
  I'll probably see it at some point.
• 15:22
  Yes.
• 15:22
  It's confusing on purpose.
• 15:24
  Cross fat.
• 15:25
  And it was frustrating me for a minute.
• 15:27
  But then once it cleared up,
• 15:29
  then it made complete sense.
• 15:30
  And I.
• 15:31
  I just it was my bad for shutting
• 15:34
  it off when I did.
• 15:37
  So.
• 15:39
  Recommend Roofman.
• 15:41
  Recommend Deliver Me From Nowhere,
• 15:45
  the Bruce Springsteen story.
• 15:46
  And I highly don't recommend Smashing
• 15:50
  Machine.
• 15:51
  And then The Rip was really good,
• 15:53
  but stay with it.
• 15:53
  Don't give up.
• 15:57
  Did you watch Skyscraper Live?
• 15:58
  I did not.
• 16:04
  Is this the Alex Honnold stuff?
• 16:06
  when the guy climbed the building with no
• 16:10
  net, no ropes.
• 16:11
  Yeah.
• 16:12
  I can't do that.
• 16:13
  No, thank you.
• 16:14
  Can't, can't do that at all.
• 16:16
  Uh,
• 16:18
  Wayne short says ponies on Peacock is
• 16:20
  worth a look.
• 16:21
  My wife and I want to watch that.
• 16:22
  We just need,
• 16:23
  we need a moment to get to it.
• 16:25
  What I think I saw was,
• 16:28
  was it like people of, of no,
• 16:30
  of no interest.
• 16:31
  Okay.
• 16:32
  Yeah.
• 16:33
  And I think what it is,
• 16:33
  is they're like,
• 16:34
  instead of being a person of interest,
• 16:36
  nobody even knows they are of interest.
• 16:38
  So they get away with it.
• 16:39
  It's like Matt.
• 16:40
  It's like Matlock, right?
• 16:41
  Like she's an unassuming old granny.
• 16:43
  Yeah.
• 16:43
  Yeah.
• 16:47
  I cross that.
• 16:48
  I watched it delayed and it still made
• 16:49
  me anxious.
• 16:49
  Yeah.
• 16:50
  I, I can't do that stuff.
• 16:52
  It, it,
• 16:54
  it does things to me that I can't,
• 16:57
  if someone could die,
• 16:58
  I have a hard time with it.
• 16:59
  Yeah.
• 17:00
  Yeah.
• 17:03
  Um, so, all right,
• 17:05
  let's get into the CrossFit talk.
• 17:07
  Um,
• 17:08
  I could talk movies all night because I
• 17:11
  did watch the pit.
• 17:12
  I'm caught up on the pit.
• 17:13
  I only watched episode one so far.
• 17:16
  So, sorry.
• 17:17
  I'm sorry.
• 17:18
  Episode three.
• 17:20
  And especially being from the area,
• 17:22
  there were so many references to things
• 17:24
  around Pittsburgh.
• 17:26
  It was so freaking good.
• 17:27
  And now it's starting to kick up.
• 17:29
  Like,
• 17:29
  one and two are just kind of setting
• 17:31
  the stage.
• 17:32
  And then hour three, all of a sudden,
• 17:34
  shit's getting real.
• 17:36
  Okay.
• 17:38
  So...
• 17:40
  Uh, do you read a CrossFit?
• 17:42
  Even the pictures of it made me nauseous.
• 17:44
  Yeah.
• 17:45
  Yeah.
• 17:45
  My wife can't watch anything that looks
• 17:47
  down from a high,
• 17:48
  high building on a camera at all.
• 17:51
  And it wasn't that I'm not,
• 17:54
  I'm not a Heights guy.
• 17:56
  It's that he could with one slip be
• 17:58
  dead.
• 17:58
  Yeah.
• 17:59
  And I don't want to watch a man
• 18:00
  die.
• 18:03
  No, not, not on my bucket list,
• 18:04
  not on the things I want to do.
• 18:06
  Um,
• 18:10
  Andrew Sten is only five episodes into
• 18:12
  season one.
• 18:13
  Yeah,
• 18:13
  I think that's about when the shit got
• 18:14
  real in season one.
• 18:15
  Yeah.
• 18:15
  You're going to start binging that pretty
• 18:18
  soon just to...
• 18:21
  It's always nice to start a series like
• 18:22
  that when you can just binge it.
• 18:24
  CrossFit nails it.
• 18:26
  CrossFit nails it.
• 18:27
  Roof man was too tall for Scott's wife.
• 18:29
  Julie had a hard time when he was
• 18:31
  climbing the roof.
• 18:33
  Yeah.
• 18:35
  Yeah,
• 18:35
  if she has to go on a step
• 18:36
  stool more than like two...
• 18:38
  She's freaking out.
• 18:41
  All right, let's get into this.
• 18:44
  I'm going to start with the pencil pen
• 18:46
  or Sharpie.
• 18:48
  This will be the biggest open registration
• 18:50
  since two thousand eighteen.
• 18:57
  Do you have the number?
• 18:58
  Do you know what twenty nineteen was for
• 19:00
  me?
• 19:01
  I don't know.
• 19:01
  Twenty nineteen.
• 19:07
  Eighteen was when the media left and then
• 19:09
  the numbers dropped.
• 19:10
  Yeah.
• 19:12
  I think the biggest since eighteen was
• 19:14
  twenty two.
• 19:17
  OK,
• 19:18
  I think they said twenty nineteen went way
• 19:20
  down and then it came back up a
• 19:21
  little.
• 19:22
  Yeah, well,
• 19:23
  we went up and down for covid,
• 19:24
  then back up.
• 19:33
  I'll say Penn, I mean.
• 19:36
  I don't think I can say Sharpie.
• 19:38
  I almost feel like we got a rush
• 19:41
  of diehards who are like,
• 19:42
  I'm going to sign up this year and
• 19:44
  sign up day one.
• 19:45
  And a lot of people did,
• 19:47
  but I don't know that it's going to
• 19:49
  continue.
• 19:49
  So I'm going to say Penn.
• 19:51
  CrossFit with a pen.
• 19:52
  We got Larry Young with a pen.
• 19:55
  Eric Mackey pencil.
• 19:56
  Early hype.
• 19:56
  Good.
• 19:56
  Think it'll fall off.
• 19:58
  Yeah.
• 19:59
  Benita pencil.
• 20:02
  Larry Young.
• 20:03
  He's just bitching about the cardio.
• 20:05
  Do you read pen?
• 20:10
  Yeah.
• 20:13
  So I'm going to go with pen and
• 20:17
  this is what,
• 20:17
  and I'm actually leaning towards Sharpie.
• 20:19
  Okay.
• 20:21
  And here's why we were having,
• 20:24
  we had the second biggest week for week
• 20:27
  one since this thing has ever,
• 20:32
  ever been done.
• 20:32
  Right.
• 20:32
  Yeah.
• 20:33
  And there was a lot of hype around
• 20:34
  it.
• 20:35
  I get it.
• 20:35
  And I get why Eric Mackey saying it'll
• 20:37
  die off.
• 20:37
  Here's why it won't because all of the
• 20:40
  stuff that CrossFit has done since then,
• 20:42
  the Randy world record attempt.
• 20:45
  Then we have the throwdown at the ranch.
• 20:47
  Then we had the workout at the SAP
• 20:49
  Center.
• 20:50
  Then we have like the affiliate gathering
• 20:52
  at the SAP Center.
• 20:53
  There's all this stuff and all this
• 20:55
  momentum that they seem to be diving into.
• 20:58
  Hell,
• 20:58
  we had the release of the trailer for
• 21:01
  the new CrossFit documentary out during
• 21:05
  this open registration period.
• 21:07
  They're putting out all that marketing
• 21:09
  stuff at the right time for a change.
• 21:15
  And that's the first time it's been this
• 21:17
  focused and this directed during this time
• 21:21
  since twenty eighteen.
• 21:26
  I agree, the media seems extra focused.
• 21:29
  Pull this one up.
• 21:33
  What are you hearing in the gym?
• 21:34
  Only the diehards are tuning in still.
• 21:37
  That is, that's what I'm noticing.
• 21:40
  And so I worry that we aren't reaching
• 21:43
  a new audience to get more members.
• 21:46
  But maybe some of like those people who
• 21:47
  didn't sign up last year will sign up.
• 21:51
  But will it be the biggest since twenty
• 21:55
  eighteen?
• 21:55
  I don't know.
• 21:57
  I'm hearing a lot of people in the
• 21:58
  chats say they got four people themselves
• 22:02
  to sign up or they got,
• 22:04
  and a lot of people are buying those
• 22:05
  bundles and giving them away to people.
• 22:09
  And I think that is a great marketing
• 22:13
  tool.
• 22:14
  Like Jonathan Ortega has been in every
• 22:16
  chat this week saying, hey,
• 22:17
  I've got five available.
• 22:18
  Anybody that their reason is I don't want
• 22:20
  to pay the twenty bucks, it's on me.
• 22:24
  And I know a lot of people are
• 22:25
  doing that.
• 22:27
  And I think the more people,
• 22:29
  and it doesn't take a whole lot to
• 22:30
  buy five, right?
• 22:32
  You get a few hundred people to buy
• 22:34
  five and all of a sudden you're talking
• 22:35
  like another couple thousand.
• 22:37
  And then maybe those people say, well,
• 22:39
  I got this freebie.
• 22:41
  Will you do it with me?
• 22:42
  And now you're getting a new group saying,
• 22:44
  will you come do it with me?
• 22:49
  I mean,
• 22:50
  coffee pots and wads are giving them away
• 22:51
  on their show.
• 22:52
  And I'm thinking I'm probably going to buy
• 22:55
  a pack myself and do them as giveaways
• 22:58
  on this show.
• 23:02
  So I think all of those things together
• 23:08
  will make it better than it was.
• 23:10
  Definitely better than last year,
• 23:12
  for sure.
• 23:14
  Better, second best,
• 23:16
  or the best since twenty eighteen.
• 23:17
  I don't know.
• 23:18
  Twenty twenty two is pretty big.
• 23:21
  vicky's given away six registrations
• 23:24
  that's awesome vicky yeah and uh dense is
• 23:30
  giving away a bunch too she's giving away
• 23:33
  bundles yeah she was doing the judges
• 23:36
  course in the shirt yeah yeah um you
• 23:44
  were saying second biggest ever then
• 23:47
  that's what I'm asking.
• 23:48
  I don't know.
• 23:48
  I mean,
• 23:49
  that's why I'm at a pen and not
• 23:50
  a Sharpie.
• 23:51
  I think twenty two was really big.
• 23:54
  Like,
• 23:54
  I think it was four hundred and some
• 23:56
  thousand and twenty two.
• 23:58
  Yeah, we need to get back.
• 23:58
  That's going to be tough to get to
• 24:00
  again.
• 24:02
  I mean, yeah,
• 24:03
  you have to bring in new,
• 24:05
  completely new people to get up there.
• 24:07
  Claire,
• 24:08
  we're giving away on water prep show as
• 24:09
  well.
• 24:11
  Nice.
• 24:12
  There's a lot of people giving them away.
• 24:14
  By either this week on the lunch show
• 24:17
  or next week,
• 24:17
  I'll have some to give away as well.
• 24:21
  Peer pressure.
• 24:29
  Shelly Young,
• 24:29
  as much as he bitches about cardio,
• 24:31
  Larry bought twenty codes to give out and
• 24:33
  talked eighteen people into signing up
• 24:35
  early at our gym.
• 24:36
  And at least half were signing up for
• 24:38
  the first time.
• 24:39
  That is awesome.
• 24:42
  That's what it takes.
• 24:43
  It's that ground roots or that groundswell
• 24:47
  grassroots building up.
• 24:50
  Right.
• 24:52
  It's freaking awesome.
• 24:53
  It is awesome.
• 24:57
  Jenny's winners announced tomorrow morning
• 25:00
  for bundles.
• 25:04
  Shelly says Larry is all in on the
• 25:06
  open this year.
• 25:06
  I love that.
• 25:11
  Uh, Jody, someone gifted me a bundle.
• 25:13
  It only covers the twenty bucks.
• 25:15
  Hey, it's a free twenty bucks.
• 25:16
  Free entry.
• 25:18
  Huh.
• 25:19
  That's interesting.
• 25:22
  Well,
• 25:22
  I think they bought a bundle and got
• 25:24
  codes to hand out.
• 25:25
  And if you buy that,
• 25:26
  it's only the twenty dollar registration.
• 25:28
  Oh, you're giving away the registrations.
• 25:30
  Right.
• 25:30
  Yeah, that's Jenny.
• 25:32
  Jenny's giving away a bundle that includes
• 25:34
  the shirt.
• 25:35
  Yes.
• 25:35
  Yes.
• 25:35
  Yeah.
• 25:44
  Do you think if CrossFit gave a kickback
• 25:46
  from registration to affiliate owners that
• 25:48
  more owners would be incentivized and more
• 25:50
  members would be happy to support their
• 25:52
  boxes?
• 25:53
  I think it's a fine line because...
• 25:57
  they're not making a ton of money.
• 25:59
  So what kickbacks are there to give?
• 26:02
  And I think what they've done is they've
• 26:04
  offered up these bundles at a discounted
• 26:06
  rate.
• 26:06
  You can buy a big bulk of them.
• 26:09
  They're less than the twenty bucks.
• 26:11
  And then you can either sell them to
• 26:13
  your people at your gym or you can
• 26:16
  hand them out to people who don't want
• 26:17
  to pay.
• 26:19
  So
• 26:22
  I wonder if that's only for...
• 26:25
  I'll have to look into that because I
• 26:27
  wouldn't mind doing this for some of my
• 26:28
  members.
• 26:29
  But if it's only an affiliate bundle that
• 26:31
  you can get, then...
• 26:32
  I don't think it's affiliate because
• 26:34
  Ortega bought a bundle.
• 26:35
  He's not an affiliate, right?
• 26:37
  I don't think Vicky's an affiliate.
• 26:40
  She just might be buying...
• 26:43
  Single ones occasionally and then throwing
• 26:44
  them out.
• 26:45
  I don't know.
• 26:46
  I'll have to look into that.
• 26:47
  I think anybody can buy a bundle and
• 26:48
  hand them out.
• 26:49
  If I'm CrossFit, I'm promoting that.
• 26:51
  That's how you get new people in that
• 26:53
  never did it before.
• 26:54
  And then you give them that experience and
• 26:57
  hopefully they stay.
• 27:04
  I signed up as much as I voted
• 27:06
  four times.
• 27:08
  All right.
• 27:13
  um shelly said gotta support this thing if
• 27:15
  we want it to grow we do right
• 27:20
  uh the original steve miller a sandwich is
• 27:22
  fifteen bucks these days why not register
• 27:25
  listen i've said this on the show a
• 27:27
  lot i'm a member of a bunch of
• 27:29
  channels because i they are my
• 27:31
  entertainment i pay for streaming services
• 27:34
  i pay for the movies i pay for
• 27:35
  things that entertain me
• 27:37
  That's why I pay for podcast membership
• 27:39
  fees.
• 27:39
  That's why I pay for the open.
• 27:41
  Because without the open and without
• 27:43
  CrossFit, we don't have the show.
• 27:53
  Mm-hmm.
• 27:53
  Eric Mackey,
• 27:54
  how do de-affiliated gyms affect the open
• 27:56
  signups?
• 27:57
  I don't know that they do.
• 27:59
  There's still going to be people that want
• 28:00
  to do it.
• 28:01
  And I know a lot of de-affiliated gyms
• 28:03
  still do the open.
• 28:04
  Mm-hmm.
• 28:10
  Has any affiliate owners ever given twenty
• 28:11
  dollars off a membership with proof of
• 28:13
  registration?
• 28:14
  I know some have.
• 28:16
  I know some included in the Savant's been
• 28:19
  doing all these interviews with people
• 28:21
  that are like tops in the world with
• 28:23
  open registrations and some of them,
• 28:26
  they make it part of their membership.
• 28:29
  So it's added into their membership cost
• 28:31
  and then they get the open every year.
• 28:33
  And I think they get an open t-shirt
• 28:35
  that the gym makes and all that is
• 28:38
  included in their membership.
• 28:43
  Vicki said,
• 28:44
  Mayhem did that last year at the Cookville
• 28:45
  affiliate.
• 28:51
  Okay.
• 28:54
  People are paying almost two hundred
• 28:55
  dollars for high rocks, aren't they?
• 28:57
  You can't even sign up for a five
• 28:58
  K for less than twenty.
• 28:59
  Five K's are like fifty, sixty, eighty,
• 29:01
  a hundred bucks.
• 29:05
  Yeah, I mean,
• 29:06
  I've always thought the open is a good
• 29:07
  deal.
• 29:08
  It's three weeks of like extreme community
• 29:11
  fun.
• 29:12
  Assuming your gym runs it as like in
• 29:13
  a community event.
• 29:15
  Yeah.
• 29:17
  you know, that's,
• 29:18
  that's going to be there forever where you
• 29:19
  can go back and check your level or
• 29:22
  where you finished in the world or however
• 29:23
  they set it up.
• 29:25
  I, yeah, we've been doing,
• 29:27
  we've been doing every Friday open retests
• 29:30
  and like, there's, you know,
• 29:32
  there's only four or five of us that
• 29:33
  can go back and look at scores and,
• 29:35
  and, you know,
• 29:36
  I feel like some people see us looking
• 29:37
  at our scores and they're like, Oh,
• 29:40
  how do you do that?
• 29:41
  How do you get?
• 29:41
  And so like,
• 29:42
  we have to talk about it each week.
• 29:45
  Yeah, Vicki says it's a different link,
• 29:47
  Jamie.
• 29:48
  I'll DM you.
• 29:48
  Perfect.
• 29:49
  Thank you so much.
• 29:57
  It's cheaper than most tracking food
• 29:59
  Strava apps.
• 30:00
  I do like the idea of adding more
• 30:02
  interactivity to the open.
• 30:06
  Larry sent you the link too.
• 30:08
  You're going to get bombarded with links.
• 30:09
  Perfect.
• 30:10
  That's all right.
• 30:14
  All right.
• 30:15
  So that is that, um,
• 30:20
  you're signed up for the open.
• 30:22
  I signed up day one,
• 30:23
  which I don't usually sign up day one.
• 30:28
  So I signed up for the open.
• 30:30
  Good.
• 30:32
  Carol.
• 30:32
  I think Carolyn signed up day one too.
• 30:34
  I think we were both,
• 30:34
  I think spin had done a show that
• 30:36
  day and we were both still had our
• 30:38
  like hashtags in from the year before.
• 30:40
  So can I tell you my one big
• 30:41
  regret?
• 30:43
  What?
• 30:43
  I skipped one year and I should have
• 30:47
  had a fourteen.
• 30:48
  And now I have a thirteen.
• 30:50
  And it's a bummer because I would have
• 30:52
  beat Carolyn.
• 30:52
  Oh, the fourteen.
• 30:54
  And now I'm tied.
• 30:58
  And so that's a big bummer for me.
• 31:01
  I was having health issues that one year
• 31:03
  and I didn't sign up.
• 31:04
  And then I went I was going to
• 31:05
  players.
• 31:05
  We did.
• 31:06
  I did the workouts every single week and
• 31:07
  I just didn't sign up.
• 31:09
  So it ended up being just stupid.
• 31:11
  It was just dumb.
• 31:14
  Um,
• 31:15
  so I'm pissed at myself that I skipped
• 31:18
  and I should have had a. Badge,
• 31:21
  but now I just have a, a,
• 31:25
  Shelly did too.
• 31:26
  She skipped.
• 31:27
  I think that's what I skipped.
• 31:29
  Wow.
• 31:30
  It might've been.
• 31:31
  Oh, the weekly Fergie question, Jamie,
• 31:36
  would you rather do a snow wad in
• 31:37
  new England or a beach wad in Florida
• 31:39
  today?
• 31:41
  A beach wad in Florida.
• 31:44
  I think it's snowing in Florida.
• 31:45
  Yeah.
• 31:46
  Well, weird.
• 31:46
  It's not snowing where my parents are.
• 31:51
  Shelly, I'm on number eleven.
• 31:53
  That's still impressive, Shelly.
• 31:55
  I'm on number ten.
• 32:02
  Every year you did it,
• 32:03
  did you submit a score?
• 32:04
  I want to see those totals.
• 32:06
  I think I submitted a score on every
• 32:08
  one.
• 32:08
  You better pull up your profile.
• 32:10
  Pull up your history.
• 32:19
  You got to carry the show now.
• 32:20
  I submitted a score every year.
• 32:22
  I have.
• 32:22
  I is the year I tore my.
• 32:27
  Right shoulder labrum.
• 32:30
  So I still signed up,
• 32:31
  even though I was pretty sure I wasn't
• 32:32
  going to be able to do it all.
• 32:33
  And I did not do the last workout.
• 32:35
  That was the year of the wall ball
• 32:36
  ring muscle up row that choose your own
• 32:38
  adventure.
• 32:39
  You could go into any order.
• 32:40
  And I actually was still going to do
• 32:41
  it,
• 32:41
  but we had flown to Vegas that Wednesday.
• 32:45
  And I would add a drop in and.
• 32:48
  I mean,
• 32:49
  I figured I probably shouldn't be doing
• 32:50
  any ring muscle-ups,
• 32:51
  so I just didn't do the last score.
• 32:53
  So I don't have a really high standing
• 32:55
  in the year.
• 32:58
  But other than that,
• 32:59
  you can see the progression of me getting
• 33:00
  better worldwide every year.
• 33:05
  Nice, Alyssa.
• 33:06
  Alyssa's on ten also.
• 33:10
  CrossFit did not like the
• 33:12
  choose-your-own-adventure, apparently.
• 33:15
  I think it's a neat way to
• 33:20
  I mean, yeah, I don't know.
• 33:22
  It maybe is more of a quarterfinals type
• 33:24
  thing, like gaming a workout.
• 33:29
  I know I should have gone to a
• 33:31
  gym in Vegas.
• 33:32
  I just was with,
• 33:35
  my husband was with me.
• 33:36
  He probably would have gone,
• 33:37
  but my brother-in-law was with me.
• 33:38
  We were there for like his fortieth
• 33:40
  birthday and that was the last thing he
• 33:43
  wanted to do.
• 33:43
  So I didn't want to mess up anyone
• 33:45
  else's vacation.
• 33:50
  No strategy.
• 33:52
  You're right.
• 33:53
  I mean, and in the way,
• 33:54
  the way these play out with like you
• 33:56
  being able to test retest, no.
• 33:59
  Um,
• 33:59
  but I do love the idea of like
• 34:01
  strategy at in-person comps.
• 34:03
  Like if you get the workout right before
• 34:04
  and you know,
• 34:06
  that strategy is a good test, but no,
• 34:09
  in the open, you're right.
• 34:12
  That's why I'd rather be like a quarter
• 34:13
  finals when it's a weekend of workouts and
• 34:16
  you're probably not doing it two times in
• 34:18
  the weekend.
• 34:21
  So there's my profile.
• 34:25
  And there is twenty five.
• 34:28
  It was twenty four.
• 34:29
  I skipped twenty three, twenty two,
• 34:31
  twenty one, twenty nineteen, eighteen,
• 34:34
  seventeen, sixteen, fifteen,
• 34:35
  fourteen and thirteen.
• 34:37
  So do you have scores?
• 34:38
  Go back up.
• 34:38
  Do you have scores there that you don't
• 34:39
  have?
• 34:40
  Like, did you not?
• 34:41
  What is it?
• 34:42
  Those are like my rankings.
• 34:45
  Oh, I see.
• 34:47
  I see.
• 34:48
  So I don't know,
• 34:49
  like they didn't do rankings by region,
• 34:50
  maybe those years.
• 34:52
  Yeah.
• 34:53
  Um,
• 34:54
  and they didn't do ranking by affiliate at
• 34:56
  that point,
• 34:57
  but so those are just my rankings.
• 35:02
  There's so many things in there now.
• 35:04
  It's crazy.
• 35:05
  I had actually like filled out my profile
• 35:07
  a few years ago and now there's like.
• 35:10
  Sixty more things in there.
• 35:11
  I only have like ten things in there.
• 35:12
  I'm like, oh, my God, this is insane.
• 35:14
  I can't.
• 35:16
  But you can see my rankings have never
• 35:18
  been great.
• 35:22
  But you've been doing it.
• 35:24
  But I've been doing it.
• 35:26
  So.
• 35:30
  Yeah.
• 35:32
  Okay.
• 35:34
  So that's the open.
• 35:35
  Let's do pencil, pen,
• 35:36
  or Sharpie for the next one.
• 35:39
  Okay.
• 35:40
  CrossFit media and that it's now
• 35:42
  partnering with other media is creating
• 35:45
  excitement for the CrossFit in general and
• 35:47
  the open season.
• 35:48
  So what we just kind of talked about
• 35:50
  is a reason why I think it's more
• 35:52
  pen than
• 35:54
  all the things that we've been talking
• 35:55
  about.
• 35:56
  And I'm really kind of specifically
• 35:58
  talking about what happened this weekend.
• 36:00
  CrossFit Media partnered with Matt Souza
• 36:02
  and the Savant Show and or CF Network,
• 36:06
  whichever part they want to say is doing
• 36:08
  that.
• 36:08
  And they streamed the throwdown at the
• 36:11
  ranch.
• 36:14
  So do you think they're doing enough to
• 36:18
  And now you add in the Randy World
• 36:19
  Championships,
• 36:20
  the reels with the athletes,
• 36:25
  the trailer for the documentary.
• 36:29
  All those things have come out since the
• 36:31
  registration opened up for the Open.
• 36:35
  What do you think?
• 36:38
  I'll say Penn.
• 36:40
  I don't...
• 36:43
  That's a huge step to bring in the
• 36:45
  Savan podcast.
• 36:47
  I do think they're trying.
• 36:49
  I just think pulling in media like Savan,
• 36:56
  unfortunately,
• 36:56
  I feel like that's already the diehard
• 36:59
  base.
• 36:59
  I don't know that you're reaching anyone
• 37:01
  there.
• 37:02
  I'd like to see them almost like...
• 37:04
  collab with even like some of Woolley's
• 37:07
  things.
• 37:08
  He's been putting out some pretty good
• 37:09
  shorts around the open this week.
• 37:11
  So if he could pull in some of
• 37:12
  those, I just,
• 37:14
  I think they need to share more.
• 37:18
  For me,
• 37:19
  it's not about sharing at this point.
• 37:21
  Savan has the technology to air that thing
• 37:24
  that would have never been done this way
• 37:28
  with anybody else.
• 37:29
  They're the ones that bought the peplink.
• 37:31
  They're the ones that can pull in the
• 37:33
  different cell towers to be able to stream
• 37:36
  it.
• 37:38
  That's why that one was important.
• 37:41
  Not for the views of them,
• 37:43
  but for the technology that they bring.
• 37:48
  Yeah.
• 37:49
  I mean,
• 37:49
  I know that's another one of your
• 37:53
  questions.
• 37:55
  I think they are trying Penn.
• 37:58
  CrossFit,
• 38:00
  they brought in Bill and Chase too,
• 38:01
  which was good.
• 38:03
  Vicky says Sharpie.
• 38:05
  CrossFit,
• 38:06
  it's better than the last three years.
• 38:09
  Grace says Penn.
• 38:11
  Mackie, Sharpie, on the right track.
• 38:13
  But again,
• 38:13
  I don't think most CrossFitters follow
• 38:15
  like we do.
• 38:17
  Penn.
• 38:20
  Yes, Jamie,
• 38:21
  you need to hit different markets or
• 38:22
  arenas.
• 38:25
  No one else is volunteering their time and
• 38:27
  resources.
• 38:28
  Yeah.
• 38:29
  And again, they have all the technology.
• 38:31
  They have figured this out.
• 38:32
  They are the only ones that have taken
• 38:34
  the time to do that and spent the
• 38:38
  money to do that.
• 38:39
  I think they need to collab with Hiller.
• 38:42
  I just think they have to.
• 38:44
  I think,
• 38:45
  especially if you can pull in some stuff
• 38:46
  with Tyson,
• 38:48
  I think you can reach a different market
• 38:49
  that...
• 38:51
  Can you imagine if Tyson could talk like
• 38:53
  any other football player into trying
• 38:55
  this?
• 38:57
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 38:58
  I don't know what that would do.
• 39:03
  Again,
• 39:04
  I'm not looking at market right now.
• 39:06
  I'm looking at that.
• 39:07
  They are getting stuff out for once.
• 39:10
  And the only people that could do that
• 39:14
  at the ranch was the Savant podcast with
• 39:17
  the equipment Sousa had.
• 39:18
  Yeah, that's it.
• 39:19
  They're the only ones that could have
• 39:20
  pulled that off.
• 39:23
  for for nothing they volunteered it i
• 39:33
  agree um uh it would be great if
• 39:39
  we had a loud voice that isn't a
• 39:40
  crossfitter but is a crossfitter like a
• 39:43
  b-list celebrity that does the murph
• 39:46
  I think that would be awesome.
• 39:48
  But I don't want to lose the momentum
• 39:50
  that is being created because it hasn't
• 39:53
  gone far enough.
• 39:54
  And this is later, I think maybe.
• 39:59
  Well, no, it's in the,
• 40:00
  because this is really rolling into what
• 40:02
  happened this weekend with the throwdown
• 40:03
  at the ranch.
• 40:05
  The only criticism I have at all is
• 40:07
  no, no lead up,
• 40:09
  no advertisement that it was happening.
• 40:12
  It just,
• 40:13
  like the night before you heard they were
• 40:15
  doing it.
• 40:17
  It was like a week, right?
• 40:19
  Like he put out that little,
• 40:20
  there was that poster,
• 40:22
  whatever they created that looked like.
• 40:24
  A couple of days.
• 40:26
  And originally they weren't going to
• 40:27
  stream it.
• 40:28
  They were just going to do it at
• 40:29
  the ranch kind of in private.
• 40:32
  And it wasn't until Sousa called and asked
• 40:35
  if he could do it.
• 40:36
  Was it then live streamed?
• 40:37
  And then, you know,
• 40:38
  you're talking a couple of days and I
• 40:40
  don't know.
• 40:45
  I mean,
• 40:45
  do you think it would have been any
• 40:47
  worse had anyone in the media recorded it
• 40:51
  and put together a post-production and put
• 40:54
  out some media around it today?
• 40:59
  Like,
• 40:59
  do you think that would have been any
• 41:00
  worse?
• 41:02
  I think it would have been worse because
• 41:03
  the timing would have been bad.
• 41:05
  Because of the football games today,
• 41:07
  you're going to get less live views and,
• 41:09
  well, you'd get no live views, but...
• 41:12
  Okay, well,
• 41:12
  maybe it didn't need to come out on
• 41:14
  maybe Monday.
• 41:15
  Like,
• 41:16
  spend the weekend putting it together.
• 41:18
  Why not both?
• 41:19
  Yeah.
• 41:20
  Could have been.
• 41:22
  Because there was a lot of,
• 41:23
  I feel like the boys needed to be
• 41:25
  ready.
• 41:25
  There were some things that, like,
• 41:27
  I don't know that we needed thirty-five
• 41:28
  minutes of warm up.
• 41:31
  It was cool to, like,
• 41:31
  listen to some of the talking and getting
• 41:34
  some questions in,
• 41:35
  but
• 41:37
  also could have been pretty polished and
• 41:39
  probably been pretty sweet.
• 41:40
  They weren't super long workouts.
• 41:43
  So you could have like this,
• 41:44
  like highlight reel.
• 41:47
  When that first workout,
• 41:48
  if you are a CrossFit geek like us
• 41:50
  was super cool to see,
• 41:51
  cause we've seen it before with five guys
• 41:55
  and we saw how it played out and
• 41:57
  it was cool how it,
• 41:58
  how this played out.
• 41:59
  Um,
• 42:01
  that was my favorite of the three workouts
• 42:04
  by far.
• 42:06
  Cause it was just something you can't do
• 42:07
  that anywhere else.
• 42:09
  Yeah.
• 42:10
  It's a very specific hill, huh?
• 42:13
  Um, and,
• 42:17
  and the fact that Sousa kept up with
• 42:19
  them running up the hill was freaking
• 42:22
  incredible.
• 42:24
  And I think that goes to show you
• 42:26
  as much about what CrossFit is as what
• 42:28
  the guys were doing.
• 42:32
  Working out five times a week can help
• 42:35
  you keep up with these people.
• 42:37
  Yeah.
• 42:37
  You're not carrying the sandbag,
• 42:39
  but you're going up this steep grade hill
• 42:41
  and crushing it.
• 42:47
  Um, I like how Jason,
• 42:56
  the champ had no say in the workouts.
• 42:59
  It was pretty funny.
• 43:01
  Yeah.
• 43:02
  He had say against some of the things.
• 43:04
  I feel like he was trying to bring
• 43:05
  it back.
• 43:10
  And so if you missed it yesterday,
• 43:13
  I'm going to share just a little clip
• 43:14
  of it going up the hill.
• 43:16
  And this is Suze's camera right behind the
• 43:23
  leader, James Sprague.
• 43:28
  Oh, look at that.
• 43:29
  You can see the drone foot.
• 43:30
  Look at that shot.
• 43:32
  I love that.
• 43:33
  Official.
• 43:36
  This might be like, well,
• 43:38
  I don't want to say that.
• 43:40
  Nobody else.
• 43:41
  Nobody else had those tools.
• 43:44
  Yeah.
• 43:44
  You're a beast, dude.
• 43:46
  Look at everybody.
• 43:47
  He's right up there with them.
• 43:48
  Hey, what's Matt's time going to be?
• 43:50
  Right.
• 43:54
  It was just amazing.
• 43:57
  Yeah.
• 43:58
  the footage was great.
• 43:59
  The drone footage was great.
• 44:01
  The, the handheld cameras were great.
• 44:06
  And then you see,
• 44:07
  then today you see Castro posted on
• 44:09
  Instagram.
• 44:10
  He was at the top of the hill
• 44:12
  and had a shot going down with his
• 44:14
  phone.
• 44:14
  That was freaking awesome.
• 44:16
  As they were coming up that last steep
• 44:18
  part, it was, it was just really,
• 44:21
  really good.
• 44:23
  And my favorite part is at the end
• 44:26
  when the camera went on to Justin and
• 44:28
  he said, still haven't figured it out.
• 44:33
  That was my favorite part of the whole
• 44:35
  thing.
• 44:36
  I mean,
• 44:37
  he wasn't even that far behind for if
• 44:39
  he really hasn't been training a lot,
• 44:41
  just getting back into it.
• 44:42
  Like he did pretty good.
• 44:44
  Yeah.
• 44:44
  I just, I hate that excuse.
• 44:46
  Right.
• 44:47
  Yes.
• 44:48
  I feel like these guys are fit year
• 44:50
  round.
• 44:50
  Yeah.
• 44:50
  Right.
• 44:52
  Yeah.
• 44:54
  You should be ready for these types of
• 44:56
  things at a moment's notice.
• 44:58
  I agree.
• 45:00
  And let's be honest,
• 45:01
  Jason and Sprague have a distinct
• 45:03
  advantage with their long strides up that
• 45:05
  big hill.
• 45:09
  Yeah.
• 45:09
  So Sprague won that and borrowed shoes.
• 45:13
  If you did not hear,
• 45:14
  didn't see the full broadcast,
• 45:15
  James's luggage got lost on the way from
• 45:18
  Hawaii to the ranch.
• 45:20
  So he had to borrow Dave's shoes and,
• 45:23
  And there's no way they have similar size
• 45:25
  feet.
• 45:27
  I don't know.
• 45:29
  And that's what, that's who shoes he wore.
• 45:31
  Jeez.
• 45:33
  Yeah.
• 45:35
  So it was such a great event.
• 45:37
  I just,
• 45:38
  and then they did two more after that
• 45:40
  they did.
• 45:41
  And I love that you had to,
• 45:42
  you had to get,
• 45:43
  be the first one to the rings or
• 45:46
  the barbells to get,
• 45:48
  and you saw a couple of people get
• 45:49
  cut off.
• 45:50
  Yeah.
• 45:51
  And I thought that made it really fun.
• 45:53
  And then I love that they went out
• 45:55
  and used the happy star rig to do
• 45:57
  burpees over again.
• 45:59
  Um,
• 46:02
  I wish they would have done the press.
• 46:04
  I know Justin said he didn't want to
• 46:05
  press,
• 46:06
  but my biggest memory of that rig is
• 46:09
  when both Tia and Matt failed on the
• 46:12
  pressing at the end of the workout.
• 46:16
  And,
• 46:17
  and so I was hoping they would press
• 46:19
  and they would be at a fatigue after
• 46:21
  the other two events,
• 46:22
  but we didn't get to see that.
• 46:25
  So, but all in all great event.
• 46:29
  I think the one part that,
• 46:30
  that you make a great argument about
• 46:32
  post-production is the warmup time was
• 46:35
  long.
• 46:35
  It was long.
• 46:37
  Some of the comments were great during
• 46:39
  that time,
• 46:40
  but filling that space either have some
• 46:44
  people there to talk or
• 46:46
  like do some analysis back and forth while
• 46:48
  it's going, have Adrian sit down,
• 46:50
  talk back and forth,
• 46:51
  kind of what they did.
• 46:53
  Um,
• 46:55
  or post produce it and cut some of
• 46:58
  the, the slow stuff out and,
• 47:00
  and make it better and get it out
• 47:02
  quickly.
• 47:03
  Mm-hmm.
• 47:04
  Um, but I, I,
• 47:07
  I thought it was a great event.
• 47:08
  Kudos to the CrossFit team for kudos to
• 47:11
  the boys for agreeing to this agreed going
• 47:14
  into the open and agreeing to do this
• 47:16
  and everybody watching, uh,
• 47:18
  that first video that I pulled up, uh,
• 47:21
  it's at
• 47:27
  I looked this morning,
• 47:28
  it was only at nineteen,
• 47:29
  so it's actually still gaining some
• 47:32
  traction and workout two is at thirteen
• 47:36
  thousand this morning,
• 47:37
  while three was at seven and a half.
• 47:43
  So.
• 47:46
  I do think the first one was the
• 47:47
  most fun to watch.
• 47:50
  So it makes sense that it's,
• 47:52
  and it was the first one.
• 47:54
  And so it's going to have the most
• 47:55
  views.
• 47:56
  If you watch any CrossFit content that
• 47:58
  goes over multiple episodes,
• 48:01
  the first one always gets the most.
• 48:06
  With them moving around and picking their
• 48:08
  spot,
• 48:08
  I feel like it was a little hard.
• 48:10
  The third round was hard to figure out
• 48:13
  who was wearing King Kong.
• 48:14
  So I feel like if they could have
• 48:16
  had a backed out camera shot of that,
• 48:20
  And maybe they have it somewhere.
• 48:22
  Maybe they can put together a
• 48:23
  post-production of that event.
• 48:25
  Cause I think that event was awesome.
• 48:28
  I just would like the footage of it
• 48:29
  to be.
• 48:30
  And Bill and Chase are yelling for Susan
• 48:32
  to back up.
• 48:33
  I know.
• 48:33
  I think he didn't have a lens that
• 48:35
  allowed him enough room to get the wide
• 48:38
  shot in that moment.
• 48:39
  Yeah.
• 48:39
  That one was awesome.
• 48:43
  uh crossfet says or run a bit different
• 48:46
  bit of content during the slow times yeah
• 48:49
  uh run some sort of vignette during the
• 48:50
  warm-up yeah i thought some of the
• 48:53
  comments from the guys were great but it
• 48:55
  just there was like a couple great
• 48:57
  comments then a law then a couple great
• 48:59
  comments then a law well you don't expect
• 49:03
  them to take like thirty five minutes to
• 49:05
  warm up for king kong like i mean
• 49:09
  chase was saying it like all right well
• 49:10
  hit the clean go ahead dad left and
• 49:12
  let's go like and
• 49:14
  Well,
• 49:14
  Chase also said that it would take him
• 49:16
  five years to get up to a five
• 49:18
  hundred pound.
• 49:19
  Yeah.
• 49:21
  And he still wouldn't get there.
• 49:24
  So.
• 49:27
  I get you have to warm up the
• 49:28
  deadlift.
• 49:28
  You have to.
• 49:31
  Yeah.
• 49:31
  But yeah.
• 49:35
  That's a global statement about between
• 49:36
  events and CrossFit.
• 49:37
  I agree completely.
• 49:39
  I mean,
• 49:39
  I've been begging that the age group
• 49:42
  stuff,
• 49:43
  if you're not going to be at the
• 49:43
  same place you should be before,
• 49:46
  the elites and run highlights of that
• 49:48
  during the in-between.
• 49:51
  Absolutely.
• 49:53
  Wayne says the interview with Boz was
• 49:54
  cool.
• 49:55
  I thought it was.
• 49:56
  And yeah.
• 49:57
  And so I think CrossFit said he was
• 49:58
  reading the comments.
• 50:00
  Adrian was reading comments throughout.
• 50:02
  Yeah, pulling up.
• 50:02
  Yeah, that was good.
• 50:05
  It ended up James Sprague won it.
• 50:09
  James is getting really good.
• 50:11
  Yeah.
• 50:13
  He's always, always seems ready.
• 50:18
  And that's impressive.
• 50:22
  All right.
• 50:23
  So with that,
• 50:24
  let's move on to the next topic.
• 50:27
  And that is pencil, pen,
• 50:29
  or Sharpie invites to the semifinal level
• 50:31
  of the season should be based on this
• 50:33
  season and not past seasons.
• 50:45
  Yeah.
• 50:45
  I mean,
• 50:45
  ESPN outside the lines type sob story
• 50:47
  stuff.
• 50:48
  Yeah.
• 50:49
  We're not good at telling those stories
• 50:50
  anymore.
• 50:54
  Like that girl that fell off the rings
• 50:56
  or the ring snapped and now broke her
• 51:00
  back.
• 51:01
  And now she's coming back.
• 51:02
  They should have a camera crew with her
• 51:04
  on her comeback.
• 51:06
  That is one of those college game day
• 51:09
  sob stories that we all tear up.
• 51:12
  Yeah.
• 51:17
  All right, so back to Ken or Sharpie.
• 51:19
  Yeah, I mean, I think obviously Sharpie.
• 51:23
  I'm trying my hardest to play devil's
• 51:26
  advocate and find a reason that maybe you
• 51:31
  could have.
• 51:33
  But in my mind,
• 51:35
  there should be nothing other than the
• 51:36
  open to start the season to send out
• 51:39
  invites.
• 51:40
  Like, if you...
• 51:44
  Don't sign up for the Open and finish
• 51:46
  to qualify for quarterfinals.
• 51:47
  We have no business going on with this
• 51:50
  season.
• 51:55
  It's even weird with some of these invites
• 51:56
  that have already gone out.
• 51:58
  Some of us have asked questions in the
• 52:00
  comments.
• 52:04
  I got an invite and we don't even
• 52:06
  know if I'm competing, right?
• 52:07
  If I accept this invite right now and
• 52:12
  then I get...
• 52:14
  to quarterfinals and I, I don't know,
• 52:17
  just missed the cut.
• 52:18
  Are they refunding my money?
• 52:21
  Because I didn't make it?
• 52:23
  Or no, I'm sure they're not.
• 52:25
  But I was like,
• 52:26
  so if I decline this now,
• 52:27
  and then I finish top in the
• 52:29
  quarterfinals, will I get an invite?
• 52:32
  Yep, you'll get another invite.
• 52:33
  Well,
• 52:36
  you're going to be doing quarterfinals and
• 52:38
  you're going to be trying to do your
• 52:39
  best.
• 52:40
  So shouldn't it just be based on that?
• 52:42
  And if you get the,
• 52:43
  if you make it, you make it like,
• 52:48
  I, I, I agree.
• 52:50
  I don't.
• 52:50
  All right.
• 52:51
  So let's,
• 52:52
  so Grace is fifteen forty pencil.
• 52:54
  You have to account for injuries and other
• 52:56
  types of comeback situations.
• 52:58
  I think that what we're doing would
• 53:00
  account for that right now.
• 53:02
  You're inviting people based on last
• 53:04
  year's performance, right?
• 53:07
  And so people that were hurt last year
• 53:09
  or didn't have a good season are not
• 53:12
  getting the invites right now.
• 53:13
  They have to fight their way through the
• 53:14
  open and there's going to be limited spots
• 53:16
  available to them once they do.
• 53:19
  And they may win the open win
• 53:21
  quarterfinals and they're very limited
• 53:23
  spots open for them.
• 53:25
  What,
• 53:27
  What upsets me is that you're basing
• 53:29
  everything on the past.
• 53:31
  If an athlete comes into this season and
• 53:32
  shits the bed,
• 53:34
  they should not be allowed a semifinal
• 53:37
  spot.
• 53:37
  Right.
• 53:39
  Like the Washington commanders of the NFL
• 53:43
  last year made it to the NFC championship
• 53:45
  game.
• 53:46
  This year they won four or five games.
• 53:49
  They shouldn't get a spot in the playoffs
• 53:51
  because of last year's performance.
• 53:53
  Right.
• 53:56
  That's how sports works.
• 53:59
  The Chiefs have won countless games and a
• 54:02
  couple Super Bowls,
• 54:03
  but they suck this year.
• 54:04
  They should not get a spot in the
• 54:05
  playoffs.
• 54:11
  Imagine if March Madness automatic
• 54:14
  qualifiers all came from last year.
• 54:16
  People would lose their minds.
• 54:21
  Penn,
• 54:22
  only because I think we need to work
• 54:23
  with the people willing to put on these
• 54:25
  events.
• 54:30
  How much changes based on who comes for
• 54:33
  the event organizer?
• 54:34
  Nothing.
• 54:35
  You know how many are coming.
• 54:37
  You know how many lanes you need.
• 54:39
  You know the dates of your event.
• 54:41
  You know you need a DJ and you
• 54:43
  need some judges and you need some floor
• 54:45
  announcers.
• 54:46
  None of that changes based on the names
• 54:48
  on the lanes.
• 54:53
  Maybe the print shop needs to know for
• 54:56
  like the little thing they put out or
• 54:58
  the little card that says the person's in
• 55:00
  this lane.
• 55:02
  But a lot of semifinals don't even do
• 55:04
  a good job with that.
• 55:08
  And I'm not saying don't let,
• 55:10
  like if they want to have,
• 55:13
  like we've talked about this a little bit,
• 55:14
  if they need to have their own
• 55:17
  qualifier and have extra fields.
• 55:20
  Like I'm not saying don't do that,
• 55:22
  but of the like.
• 55:25
  Forty or twenty elites that you're going
• 55:27
  to have on the floor.
• 55:29
  Fifteen of those shouldn't come from
• 55:30
  automatic invites like those people should
• 55:32
  still have to place out of the open
• 55:35
  and quarterfinals this year to get that
• 55:36
  spot.
• 55:38
  And I feel like we're all in agreement
• 55:41
  on that.
• 55:41
  We only want to see people for like
• 55:44
  you either are signing up for their
• 55:46
  qualifier,
• 55:46
  which I would assume you're signing up for
• 55:48
  the season or you're performing in this
• 55:51
  season to try to advance.
• 55:53
  Why are other people there messing up the
• 55:55
  leaderboard?
• 55:58
  I just don't get that.
• 55:58
  Like you either want to participate in the
• 56:00
  season or you don't.
• 56:04
  And early invites doesn't mean attending.
• 56:06
  Look at mayhem last year.
• 56:08
  So many people dropped out the week of.
• 56:13
  And Grace says they have to meet the
• 56:14
  open quarters requirements to get to the
• 56:16
  games anyway, right?
• 56:17
  Yes,
• 56:17
  but I don't want it polluted with people
• 56:19
  who were invited and didn't then qualify.
• 56:22
  Right.
• 56:23
  We had that last year.
• 56:24
  It affected the leaderboard.
• 56:26
  It affected who got the tickets to the
• 56:29
  games because people weren't eligible and
• 56:31
  they mucked up the leaderboard for
• 56:34
  everybody else.
• 56:39
  I hate it.
• 56:40
  It's one of my biggest,
• 56:42
  biggest pet peeves.
• 56:43
  And the best example of this,
• 56:44
  which I talked about this week on my
• 56:46
  lunch show,
• 56:47
  is when Legends and LATAM invited Steph
• 56:51
  Waugh as an automatic invite to the
• 56:54
  Masters qualifiers when she's coming off a
• 56:57
  drug suspension.
• 56:59
  We don't really know what she can do.
• 57:01
  And Legends responded to a source of mine
• 57:05
  and said that they invited her because she
• 57:06
  finished fourth at their event.
• 57:09
  She didn't even podium at their event.
• 57:10
  Yeah, that doesn't make sense to me.
• 57:12
  Yeah, if she would have won that bracket,
• 57:17
  I can see maybe a play for an
• 57:21
  automatic bid there,
• 57:22
  but not even podiuming.
• 57:25
  What did she prove to you that says
• 57:26
  she has to be there?
• 57:29
  Because it's not a games field.
• 57:32
  If she's good enough,
• 57:33
  she'll make it out of...
• 57:34
  Quarters, and she'll go, right?
• 57:37
  Like, I don't understand this.
• 57:43
  Did you just lose your sound?
• 57:47
  You did.
• 57:53
  Oh, gosh, this darn roadcaster.
• 58:00
  She doesn't look like a tainted sup.
• 58:07
  Oh, we'll see how, I mean,
• 58:09
  I'm sure she'll, I'm sure she is fine.
• 58:12
  It's just, it's a weird way to,
• 58:17
  it's just a weird way to start the
• 58:18
  season.
• 58:19
  Just you,
• 58:21
  you need people to buy into the open.
• 58:22
  So make it matter.
• 58:33
  The anti-schmier crowd is killing Scott's
• 58:36
  audio.
• 58:40
  has she been in the pool for four
• 58:41
  years?
• 58:41
  That's a good question.
• 58:44
  I don't really know that they shown up
• 58:47
  on the list.
• 58:48
  Yeah.
• 58:48
  Maybe in the pool,
• 58:49
  but she didn't get tested for sure.
• 58:51
  Didn't I did even,
• 58:54
  did Ricky even get tested over his band
• 58:56
  towards the end?
• 58:58
  Dave announced him a couple of times
• 59:00
  before.
• 59:02
  Um,
• 59:04
  Yeah.
• 59:05
  I'm sorry.
• 59:05
  My stupid road caster every week.
• 59:07
  I know.
• 59:08
  Seems to go out.
• 59:09
  I've got it.
• 59:10
  I hate this.
• 59:13
  They'll test like two or three masters.
• 59:15
  They are paying to test semester.
• 59:17
  They are testing a handful of masters just
• 59:19
  to say they've done it.
• 59:23
  Right.
• 59:29
  Yeah.
• 59:30
  It just pisses me off.
• 59:32
  And I, and,
• 59:34
  I've known her for a long time.
• 59:35
  She was on the show before she popped,
• 59:38
  way back when.
• 59:39
  I've known her a long time.
• 59:40
  I've talked to her in person.
• 59:42
  I agree with the rules the way they
• 59:47
  are.
• 59:47
  She is entitled to compete this season.
• 59:50
  I am not saying she shouldn't.
• 59:52
  With the rules as they are.
• 59:54
  Right.
• 59:55
  However,
• 59:56
  she shouldn't get an automatic invite for
• 59:58
  violating the drug policy and then on her
• 1:00:02
  comeback year get an advantage over those
• 1:00:05
  who are fighting their way into the
• 1:00:07
  Masters.
• 1:00:08
  There are former games athletes that
• 1:00:09
  aren't getting the treatment she got.
• 1:00:11
  I have had no less than five CrossFit
• 1:00:14
  Games athletes in the Masters division
• 1:00:16
  reach out to me and say,
• 1:00:17
  this is bullshit.
• 1:00:18
  Yep.
• 1:00:21
  That I went to the games last year.
• 1:00:23
  She was sitting on a drug suspension.
• 1:00:25
  She gets an automatic invite and I don't.
• 1:00:32
  Yeah.
• 1:00:32
  It's ridiculous.
• 1:00:34
  It is,
• 1:00:34
  especially for the women who really feel
• 1:00:38
  that there's pretty permanent gains to be
• 1:00:41
  had from that.
• 1:00:42
  It's very frustrating to see.
• 1:00:44
  Right.
• 1:00:45
  That's a whole nother topic.
• 1:00:46
  It is.
• 1:00:50
  So.
• 1:00:52
  Yeah,
• 1:00:52
  that's another topic for another day that
• 1:00:55
  is four years enough for women who hold
• 1:00:58
  on to the benefits of that.
• 1:01:01
  We can talk about that another day.
• 1:01:04
  But for this,
• 1:01:04
  there's no way she deserves an automatic
• 1:01:06
  bid.
• 1:01:06
  No.
• 1:01:07
  And to get out of doing qualifiers and
• 1:01:10
  or stages of this season to skip over
• 1:01:13
  to get to a competition.
• 1:01:22
  Uh,
• 1:01:22
  didn't she and her guy go after Taylor?
• 1:01:26
  I don't know.
• 1:01:27
  Recently.
• 1:01:29
  I don't listen there.
• 1:01:32
  I,
• 1:01:32
  I don't even cause I know I've judged
• 1:01:35
  with her guy, her husband.
• 1:01:38
  Um,
• 1:01:40
  and I know him very well because of
• 1:01:41
  the judging world.
• 1:01:44
  Okay.
• 1:01:44
  Um,
• 1:01:46
  He is the one that was not qualified
• 1:01:48
  at mayhem that cost several masters
• 1:01:51
  athletes,
• 1:01:53
  possibly their chance at the games because
• 1:01:54
  he was not a certified judge.
• 1:01:56
  Oh,
• 1:01:58
  and he was the head judge or the
• 1:02:00
  floor judge at mayhem.
• 1:02:02
  So it was several athletes that he, um,
• 1:02:08
  screwed their chances.
• 1:02:09
  Thank God CrossFit stepped in.
• 1:02:12
  So it's just a mess.
• 1:02:20
  Sarah Cox,
• 1:02:21
  there is huge benefits for women.
• 1:02:22
  I can.
• 1:02:24
  Yeah.
• 1:02:25
  Again,
• 1:02:25
  that is another topic entirely that we
• 1:02:28
  could talk about that.
• 1:02:34
  Who are we talking about?
• 1:02:35
  We're talking about Steph law,
• 1:02:37
  getting automatic invites coming off a
• 1:02:39
  drug suspension to two semifinal events.
• 1:02:44
  And she is getting an advantage over even
• 1:02:47
  last year's games.
• 1:02:48
  Athletes.
• 1:02:49
  Crazy.
• 1:02:50
  It looks like Stephanie Roy,
• 1:02:52
  if you see her name written.
• 1:02:54
  So you could get confused if you just
• 1:02:56
  hear Scott say it.
• 1:02:57
  If you're reading it,
• 1:02:58
  it looks like Stephanie Roy.
• 1:03:01
  Yeah.
• 1:03:02
  Or if you're a hockey fan, Patrick Waugh,
• 1:03:03
  the goalie for the Colorado Avalanche,
• 1:03:05
  spelled the exact same way.
• 1:03:06
  Correct.
• 1:03:11
  He's the credential idiot.
• 1:03:12
  Exactly.
• 1:03:13
  You know,
• 1:03:14
  my one expired December thirty first.
• 1:03:18
  Oh, no.
• 1:03:19
  I had it for ten years,
• 1:03:21
  ten and a half because of COVID.
• 1:03:23
  I got no less than eight emails telling
• 1:03:26
  me it was expiring.
• 1:03:29
  No less.
• 1:03:31
  And every time I log into my account,
• 1:03:33
  it tells me, hey,
• 1:03:35
  you have so many days left.
• 1:03:37
  Hey,
• 1:03:37
  contact the CrossFit staff to get signed
• 1:03:40
  up for.
• 1:03:40
  Yeah.
• 1:03:41
  Yeah.
• 1:03:42
  There's no way you didn't know.
• 1:03:43
  It sounds like the rules just don't apply
• 1:03:44
  to them.
• 1:03:45
  So, yeah.
• 1:03:49
  You can still renew after expiration too.
• 1:03:51
  Yeah,
• 1:03:51
  I signed in to sign up for the
• 1:03:53
  open and it actually said, hey,
• 1:03:54
  contact us.
• 1:03:56
  Let's see if we can get you renewed.
• 1:04:02
  Vicky,
• 1:04:03
  I got my email already and mine doesn't
• 1:04:04
  expire till the end of the year.
• 1:04:05
  You're going to get about seven more.
• 1:04:12
  boy he looks like he's been out of
• 1:04:14
  the pool too god gonna get us in
• 1:04:21
  trouble over here
• 1:04:27
  Eric Mechia,
• 1:04:28
  that Groupon spin show didn't look good
• 1:04:30
  making excuses.
• 1:04:31
  I actually had the same two people on
• 1:04:33
  at the games.
• 1:04:34
  I did a live with them.
• 1:04:35
  It wasn't a live.
• 1:04:36
  I recorded it and then put it out
• 1:04:38
  that day.
• 1:04:40
  They explained themselves better that day.
• 1:04:42
  They've had more time to think about it
• 1:04:43
  apparently.
• 1:04:44
  And I think I asked them all the
• 1:04:46
  hard questions and they did have answers
• 1:04:48
  for all that.
• 1:04:49
  And since then he had resigned as their
• 1:04:52
  board member and all of that.
• 1:04:55
  I actually like a lot of the people
• 1:04:57
  in that group.
• 1:04:58
  I judged with them for many years.
• 1:05:00
  They just have to stop making stupid
• 1:05:02
  mistakes.
• 1:05:08
  Uh,
• 1:05:08
  did you get a discount code for the
• 1:05:10
  L one too?
• 1:05:10
  I did not.
• 1:05:11
  I thought I saw that.
• 1:05:11
  Wasn't it?
• 1:05:12
  It was like a hundred and twenty percent
• 1:05:13
  off from signing up for the open.
• 1:05:19
  Yeah.
• 1:05:21
  I probably didn't read my email enough.
• 1:05:23
  I'll have to go back and look at
• 1:05:24
  it.
• 1:05:29
  It's kind of a crazy misstep if you're
• 1:05:30
  the rule expert missing the main rule.
• 1:05:35
  Yeah.
• 1:05:36
  I mean, they have someone that actually,
• 1:05:38
  you know,
• 1:05:40
  they need to see a picture of it,
• 1:05:42
  a picture of your profile.
• 1:05:44
  Like there's a lot of steps now so
• 1:05:46
  that they don't make that same mistake
• 1:05:47
  ever again.
• 1:05:49
  And they have someone tracking it now.
• 1:05:51
  So they'll know when everybody expires.
• 1:05:55
  That's good.
• 1:05:56
  Just takes a spreadsheet.
• 1:05:57
  Yep.
• 1:05:58
  That's it.
• 1:06:04
  Imagine giving driver's test without a
• 1:06:06
  license.
• 1:06:07
  Yeah, pretty much the same thing.
• 1:06:12
  Got a twenty percent discount code in the
• 1:06:14
  email and my L one is not expiring
• 1:06:15
  till twenty twenty nine.
• 1:06:17
  OK, I'll check it out.
• 1:06:18
  It's still a lot of money if I'm
• 1:06:20
  not judging or I'm not coaching anymore.
• 1:06:22
  Yeah.
• 1:06:24
  I did like having it, though.
• 1:06:26
  Yeah.
• 1:06:29
  I'd really like to have an L two.
• 1:06:32
  If I was gonna go back,
• 1:06:33
  it would be that.
• 1:06:36
  All right, so next pencil, pen or Sharpie.
• 1:06:43
  The live stream at the ranch showed what
• 1:06:45
  is possible to reduce the cost for other
• 1:06:47
  events to live stream their event.
• 1:06:50
  And the reason I put this up there
• 1:06:51
  is because there has been a rumor out
• 1:06:52
  of the mayhem camp that they are not
• 1:06:55
  going to live stream the mayhem classic
• 1:06:58
  possibly if it costs too much.
• 1:07:02
  Um, and I've talked to, well,
• 1:07:07
  how come that keeps disappearing?
• 1:07:14
  Oh, it's actually set on a timer.
• 1:07:15
  Oh,
• 1:07:17
  Well, then that interesting.
• 1:07:19
  Didn't even know I could do that.
• 1:07:20
  Me either.
• 1:07:23
  Good question.
• 1:07:23
  If you can use it for the L
• 1:07:24
  two cross fat.
• 1:07:26
  Okay.
• 1:07:27
  Or any of the like,
• 1:07:28
  like weightlifting or any of those.
• 1:07:34
  The reason I,
• 1:07:35
  and I've talked to Wilson Park and he
• 1:07:37
  he's in a,
• 1:07:39
  pickle because last year Savan did it this
• 1:07:41
  year,
• 1:07:42
  NorCal and his event are on the same
• 1:07:44
  day.
• 1:07:44
  And that makes it very difficult for him.
• 1:07:48
  And so I know there are a lot
• 1:07:49
  of people struggling to find a way to
• 1:07:53
  do it cheaply.
• 1:07:55
  Hamilton roads is not the answer for the
• 1:07:57
  small semifinals.
• 1:07:58
  No.
• 1:08:03
  I mean,
• 1:08:03
  I'm going to say Penn just because I
• 1:08:05
  don't know that it's,
• 1:08:07
  I don't know that the live stream at
• 1:08:08
  the ranch showed it's possible.
• 1:08:10
  We've done this now through Zelos.
• 1:08:15
  They've done Crash.
• 1:08:16
  They've shown already.
• 1:08:18
  So I don't know if this showed what's
• 1:08:19
  possible, but it's definitely helping.
• 1:08:23
  Because the ranch is in the middle of
• 1:08:24
  nowhere, and the reception is not great,
• 1:08:27
  and they were still able to find a
• 1:08:29
  way to live stream it.
• 1:08:31
  That's why I added it here for that
• 1:08:34
  reason.
• 1:08:35
  Yeah,
• 1:08:35
  because they had the issues with NorCal
• 1:08:37
  last year, and they stepped up here.
• 1:08:42
  Mayhem's crazy not to just use their
• 1:08:44
  in-house team.
• 1:08:46
  I feel like Susan Savant said this.
• 1:08:49
  They have the capability.
• 1:08:54
  They don't have the resources to get the
• 1:08:57
  equipment they need.
• 1:08:58
  Yes.
• 1:09:04
  I got the feeling there were other reasons
• 1:09:06
  mayhem is thinking of not live streaming.
• 1:09:09
  I just think it's a big mistake.
• 1:09:10
  They still out, they sell out.
• 1:09:12
  So the only way to get more eyes
• 1:09:14
  is to live stream it.
• 1:09:15
  Right.
• 1:09:16
  Cause you can't sell more tickets.
• 1:09:19
  They hit the fire code every year.
• 1:09:21
  They hold an event.
• 1:09:24
  Mike, what I want to know,
• 1:09:26
  and we'll never know cause Bob and Joe
• 1:09:27
  will never tell us.
• 1:09:29
  They got that group out of Columbus to
• 1:09:31
  do the games last year.
• 1:09:34
  And they basically were teaching chase and
• 1:09:37
  then we're teaching those guys how to do
• 1:09:39
  some of the stuff as they were going.
• 1:09:41
  But I thought they did a great job
• 1:09:43
  for their first time out.
• 1:09:45
  And I know it was cheaper than Hamilton
• 1:09:47
  roads.
• 1:09:49
  And so I don't,
• 1:09:52
  I wonder if anybody else is reaching out
• 1:09:53
  to that group to see what's what they're
• 1:09:56
  capable of.
• 1:09:59
  I mean,
• 1:10:00
  that would require Bob and Joe to share
• 1:10:02
  their,
• 1:10:04
  sources or you two,
• 1:10:06
  you kind of set that wheel in motion,
• 1:10:08
  right?
• 1:10:10
  I don't know.
• 1:10:11
  I don't know how I know that I
• 1:10:13
  got him in touch with the media school
• 1:10:15
  interns to help out.
• 1:10:19
  And I,
• 1:10:20
  they don't share any of that stuff with
• 1:10:21
  me.
• 1:10:22
  So I don't know any of that information.
• 1:10:30
  across this is live versus tape is the
• 1:10:31
  toughest part, just knowledge base,
• 1:10:34
  but look at every cheap high school
• 1:10:35
  basketball thing online.
• 1:10:37
  It's literally parents watching.
• 1:10:40
  I know that when Kat's son was playing
• 1:10:43
  baseball in college,
• 1:10:45
  she was live streaming their games from
• 1:10:47
  the stands using our stream yard.
• 1:10:50
  Oh,
• 1:10:53
  so that the parents at home could watch
• 1:10:55
  their kid play baseball.
• 1:10:57
  Now, was it MLB produced?
• 1:10:58
  No.
• 1:11:00
  But it was at least a live stream
• 1:11:01
  where they could, from behind home plate,
• 1:11:03
  that they could see the action.
• 1:11:04
  That's awesome.
• 1:11:13
  There's plenty of that groups out there.
• 1:11:17
  WFP tried that group model mixed results.
• 1:11:20
  I think WFP's streams have been fine.
• 1:11:25
  Yeah.
• 1:11:25
  Are they perfect?
• 1:11:26
  No, but nobody's done it.
• 1:11:27
  Perfect.
• 1:11:28
  Correct.
• 1:11:29
  Even Hamilton roads.
• 1:11:31
  Yeah.
• 1:11:32
  Right.
• 1:11:32
  So like my biggest beef with them is
• 1:11:35
  why do you have to have the camera
• 1:11:37
  in somebody's crotch when you're and be
• 1:11:39
  that close to them?
• 1:11:40
  That's just stupid.
• 1:11:41
  Yeah.
• 1:11:46
  But the Masters thing, it wasn't perfect,
• 1:11:48
  but it was really, really good.
• 1:11:50
  And their F-I leaderboard down the side
• 1:11:55
  was the best I've seen.
• 1:12:00
  Similar to what WFP did, right?
• 1:12:05
  Yeah.
• 1:12:06
  It was a little bit better because they
• 1:12:07
  had the red arrows and the green arrows
• 1:12:10
  showing when people were moving up or down
• 1:12:12
  the leaderboard.
• 1:12:13
  Yeah.
• 1:12:18
  WFP look like witness protection?
• 1:12:20
  I don't think so.
• 1:12:23
  It was a very high quality stream.
• 1:12:24
  Yeah, I thought it was good.
• 1:12:26
  I mean,
• 1:12:27
  I have done a big enough smear campaign
• 1:12:29
  against them on several things.
• 1:12:31
  The stream is not one of them.
• 1:12:35
  Right.
• 1:12:35
  I agree.
• 1:12:41
  CrossFit.
• 1:12:42
  And they didn't have weird abbreviations
• 1:12:43
  like rogue either.
• 1:12:44
  Exactly.
• 1:12:45
  Exactly.
• 1:12:49
  Fergie,
• 1:12:49
  too dark I will give you on the
• 1:12:50
  first one, the first tour stop.
• 1:12:52
  By Copenhagen,
• 1:12:53
  I think they fixed a lot of the
• 1:12:54
  lighting issues.
• 1:13:00
  Yeah.
• 1:13:00
  The countdown rep counter was awesome by
• 1:13:03
  WFP.
• 1:13:03
  When it was accurate, yes.
• 1:13:07
  Yes.
• 1:13:08
  Well,
• 1:13:09
  that's just the guy paying attention who's
• 1:13:11
  holding the clip.
• 1:13:12
  I guess, yeah.
• 1:13:16
  But yeah,
• 1:13:18
  I think there are ways to do it
• 1:13:19
  cheaper than Hamilton Roads and that these
• 1:13:22
  places should look for them and maybe
• 1:13:24
  CrossFit help with, hey,
• 1:13:27
  if we can get you a contract for
• 1:13:28
  five different semifinals,
• 1:13:32
  maybe we can get a bulk deal on
• 1:13:33
  this.
• 1:13:35
  I think that's where HQ could step in
• 1:13:37
  and help out with this stuff because they
• 1:13:39
  can say, hey,
• 1:13:41
  we'll help write the contract and it'll be
• 1:13:43
  for five things instead of each individual
• 1:13:48
  competition,
• 1:13:48
  having to find the person themselves.
• 1:13:56
  And I think the one in Columbus was
• 1:13:57
  called like rising waters or rising waves
• 1:13:59
  or something weird like that.
• 1:14:04
  So
• 1:14:07
  All right, cool.
• 1:14:10
  Think we're all in agreement on that one.
• 1:14:12
  All right.
• 1:14:14
  Hey, it's cold out there.
• 1:14:16
  Don't forget to get some good night's
• 1:14:18
  sleep.
• 1:14:18
  Get your third Z.
• 1:14:20
  Use code Jazzy at checkout to get fifteen
• 1:14:23
  percent off your order.
• 1:14:25
  That is third Z dot com backslash Jazzy
• 1:14:29
  and get fifteen percent off.
• 1:14:31
  Get a good night's sleep.
• 1:14:32
  Tuck under those covers tight and stay
• 1:14:36
  warm.
• 1:14:39
  CrossFit subsidizing scoring and graphics
• 1:14:41
  events pay for the stream.
• 1:14:42
  That's not a bad idea.
• 1:14:47
  Something.
• 1:14:49
  But you know when you buy,
• 1:14:50
  like there's a reason why people go to
• 1:14:51
  Costco because when you're buying bulk,
• 1:14:53
  it's cheaper per item, right?
• 1:14:55
  Yep.
• 1:14:56
  Why couldn't you find like a bulk rate
• 1:15:00
  on,
• 1:15:00
  because you're going to need to stream
• 1:15:02
  more than one event.
• 1:15:03
  I don't know.
• 1:15:08
  Autistic killer.
• 1:15:09
  What a name.
• 1:15:13
  Thanks, guys.
• 1:15:15
  Thanks, Claire.
• 1:15:17
  On the subject of the skyscraper not
• 1:15:19
  wanting to watch someone die,
• 1:15:20
  did that scene in Saving Private Ryan
• 1:15:22
  where the medic dies get you?
• 1:15:24
  I don't know why,
• 1:15:24
  but I can barely watch that scene.
• 1:15:26
  I have not seen Saving Private Ryan.
• 1:15:28
  I have seen it,
• 1:15:31
  but I can't recall that.
• 1:15:35
  I can't really recall that part.
• 1:15:38
  I have a hard time watching period pieces.
• 1:15:43
  I don't know why I did.
• 1:15:46
  Sometimes I think when Julie and I first
• 1:15:49
  started dating,
• 1:15:50
  she made me watch like far and away
• 1:15:52
  and a river runs through it.
• 1:15:53
  And like all, and I just was like,
• 1:15:55
  I don't need four hour movies like this.
• 1:15:58
  And,
• 1:15:59
  and then I just like shut down on
• 1:16:00
  anything that's not seventies or forward.
• 1:16:07
  So,
• 1:16:09
  Cause I've like,
• 1:16:10
  I am a big Taylor Sheridan fan and
• 1:16:11
  I've never watched.
• 1:16:11
  I've never watched.
• 1:16:12
  I've never watched.
• 1:16:12
  I've never watched.
• 1:16:13
  I've never watched.
• 1:16:13

  I haven't gotten into Landman.

• 1:18:05
  Uh,
• 1:18:05
  lone survivor and captain Phillips endings
• 1:18:07
  acting.
• 1:18:07
  I've never seen captain Phillips and I
• 1:18:10
  love Tom Hanks.
• 1:18:10
  I should probably, you should watch it on.
• 1:18:18
  Yeah.
• 1:18:18
  Yeah.
• 1:18:18
  Yeah.
• 1:18:18
  Yeah.
• 1:18:20
  Yeah.
• 1:18:22
  Yeah.
• 1:18:32
  I like Mark Wahlberg,
• 1:18:33
  so I'm not mad at it.
• 1:18:35
  I just watched the first episode of the
• 1:18:37
  studio.
• 1:18:38
  Won all these like Golden Globes with Seth
• 1:18:40
  Rogen as a movie producer.
• 1:18:43
  And Peter Berg is in the first scene
• 1:18:45
  as a director.
• 1:18:46
  And Seth Rogen has notes for him and
• 1:18:49
  he ignores him completely.
• 1:18:55
  I've only seen the first episode.
• 1:18:56
  I'll probably watch the whole series.
• 1:18:58
  It's really funny.
• 1:19:00
  It's really funny.
• 1:19:02
  Uh, land man and lioness are awesome.
• 1:19:04
  Agreed.
• 1:19:06
  Agreed.
• 1:19:07
  Land man is now my favorite show.
• 1:19:09
  Yeah.
• 1:19:10
  People keep saying, I'm going to have to,
• 1:19:11
  I'm going to have to start it.
• 1:19:15
  Um, animal kingdom is great.
• 1:19:21
  Aaron,
• 1:19:21
  my husband watched that whole thing.
• 1:19:23
  I would come in and watch,
• 1:19:25
  like catch some of that.
• 1:19:26
  I'm like, what the frick is going on?
• 1:19:30
  I don't even know what it is.
• 1:19:32
  I don't know.
• 1:19:33
  Is it like Tiger King?
• 1:19:36
  No, no, no, no.
• 1:19:37
  It's not like that.
• 1:19:39
  It's a family.
• 1:19:41
  Smurf or whatever is her name.
• 1:19:42
  She's like the mom of the family.
• 1:19:45
  I don't know.
• 1:19:49
  He's always Mark Wahlberg as Mark
• 1:19:50
  Wahlberg.
• 1:19:52
  I did see The Family Plan too,
• 1:19:53
  which I did enjoy.
• 1:20:00
  Um...
• 1:20:02
  That Rogan show feels like a knockoff of
• 1:20:03
  Larry Sanders or extras to me.
• 1:20:06
  I can see where you get that.
• 1:20:08
  I see that.
• 1:20:09
  Why'd they stop making Linus?
• 1:20:11
  They didn't.
• 1:20:13
  They're doing season three right now.
• 1:20:20
  Isn't there a Linus spinoff?
• 1:20:22
  I don't know about that.
• 1:20:29
  shorezy and letter kenny are excellent
• 1:20:31
  i've seen some letter kenny i have too
• 1:20:32
  uh animal kingdom crime family good yeah
• 1:20:39
  it's a crime family yeah okay okay all
• 1:20:47
  right stuff to load up i just finished
• 1:20:51
  the diplomat today and i've been a big
• 1:20:53
  fan of that show and i was almost
• 1:20:55
  going to give up on it this year
• 1:20:57
  because it got so soap opera and away
• 1:21:01
  from like the politics and the military
• 1:21:05
  pieces.
• 1:21:06
  And then the last, I was like,
• 1:21:08
  I'll give it one more episode.
• 1:21:09
  And it finally kicked into like the way
• 1:21:11
  it was.
• 1:21:12
  And the next two episodes were so good.
• 1:21:15
  Still not like my favorite season by far,
• 1:21:18
  but Yuki Zazie, the pit pits.
• 1:21:26
  Great.
• 1:21:30
  So good.
• 1:21:35
  The same guy made heated rivalry.
• 1:21:36
  Very different hockey show.
• 1:21:37
  I did see that on HBO.
• 1:21:40
  I have not tuned in for that yet.
• 1:21:44
  Aaron's been watching homeland.
• 1:21:46
  It's kind of a little bit older show,
• 1:21:48
  but with Claire,
• 1:21:50
  I watched the first season of that.
• 1:21:53
  but when I want,
• 1:21:54
  when I was watching it,
• 1:21:55
  Corey was a small girl and I could
• 1:21:58
  not have it on when she was in
• 1:21:59
  the room.
• 1:22:00
  And so I just,
• 1:22:01
  I kept getting interrupted as I was trying
• 1:22:03
  to go through it.
• 1:22:04
  And, uh, and so, yeah, I,
• 1:22:07
  I had to like shut it off and
• 1:22:09
  I just never got back to it.
• 1:22:13
  Yeah.
• 1:22:13
  I just kept,
• 1:22:14
  I'll catch an episode here and there.
• 1:22:17
  I like Claire Danes.
• 1:22:18
  I can't think of the name of the
• 1:22:19
  movie, but I've,
• 1:22:21
  They were like her and her girlfriend were
• 1:22:24
  in a prison.
• 1:22:25
  It was like one of the first movies
• 1:22:27
  that turned me on to Claire Danes.
• 1:22:28
  I really loved that movie.
• 1:22:31
  I can't think of the name of it.
• 1:22:31
  It's an older movie.
• 1:22:33
  Probably.
• 1:22:33
  Ninety eight.
• 1:22:34
  Ninety nine.
• 1:22:38
  Yuki Zazie.
• 1:22:39
  I took AED and CPR training this weekend
• 1:22:41
  and I got to yell clear.
• 1:22:44
  Felt like I was on the pit.
• 1:22:48
  Every time I hear clear,
• 1:22:50
  all I can think of is fire Marshall
• 1:22:51
  bill from in living color.
• 1:23:00
  Break.
• 1:23:01
  Yes.
• 1:23:01
  Breakdown palace.
• 1:23:02
  Thank you.
• 1:23:02
  Cross that.
• 1:23:03
  Yes.
• 1:23:06
  Such a good one.
• 1:23:07
  I thought, yeah.
• 1:23:07
  Yuki's as he was Denise Moore.
• 1:23:10
  I just didn't want to,
• 1:23:13
  you can kind of see it in her
• 1:23:14
  picture.
• 1:23:16
  Yeah, it used to be a cat.
• 1:23:18
  And that's what was throwing me off.
• 1:23:22
  So, yeah.
• 1:23:23
  So,
• 1:23:24
  the last thing I had on the docket
• 1:23:27
  was Rogue is going back to Scotland.
• 1:23:30
  Super bummed.
• 1:23:32
  Yeah, we talked about that, right?
• 1:23:34
  We selfishly wanted it to come back to
• 1:23:37
  Ohio.
• 1:23:38
  Yeah.
• 1:23:40
  Columbus is awesome.
• 1:23:41
  Yeah.
• 1:23:42
  When I can sleep in my own bed
• 1:23:43
  and go to an event, it's great.
• 1:23:45
  yeah i just think it needs to come
• 1:23:46
  back to the united states in general but
• 1:23:52
  yeah so i can't blame them um yeah
• 1:23:57
  i mean they're getting good crowds over
• 1:23:59
  there and it's a good arena i like
• 1:24:01
  the indoor run i like what they've been
• 1:24:03
  doing over there they know the floor right
• 1:24:06
  and yeah
• 1:24:10
  It's just a man.
• 1:24:11
  Like I'll still watch it.
• 1:24:12
  I know.
• 1:24:13
  I'll watch it.
• 1:24:14
  It's just, yeah.
• 1:24:16
  Well,
• 1:24:16
  it sounds like this is for sure the
• 1:24:17
  last year though.
• 1:24:18
  So we have that going.
• 1:24:22
  Hopefully.
• 1:24:23
  Yeah.
• 1:24:24
  Hopefully.
• 1:24:26
  Hopefully they find a nice arena here in
• 1:24:28
  Columbus.
• 1:24:30
  Then they don't have to ship all the
• 1:24:31
  stuff.
• 1:24:33
  Exactly.
• 1:24:34
  Wild with the implements they use.
• 1:24:39
  Yeah,
• 1:24:40
  they could really dial in making some...
• 1:24:42
  Shoot,
• 1:24:43
  if they have a plan now in line
• 1:24:45
  for having it in Columbus,
• 1:24:47
  they could start work now on some special
• 1:24:49
  pieces that they don't have to travel.
• 1:24:56
  Denise asked what the gathering was this
• 1:24:57
  weekend.
• 1:24:58
  It wasn't open training.
• 1:25:00
  It was an affiliate gathering for the
• 1:25:03
  California region.
• 1:25:06
  They're all over the country.
• 1:25:08
  I've been to the Midwest one.
• 1:25:11
  I got invited by CrossFit to come in
• 1:25:12
  and observe what they were.
• 1:25:15
  They hold them all over.
• 1:25:16
  And it's just a way for affiliate owners
• 1:25:18
  from that region to get together and talk
• 1:25:20
  about
• 1:25:22
  um similar issues that they have going on
• 1:25:24
  and all of that stuff what they did
• 1:25:26
  though is because they held it at the
• 1:25:28
  sap center which is where the twenty-six
• 1:25:30
  crossfit games are going to be they had
• 1:25:34
  a workout that you could do with level
• 1:25:35
  one staff and the boys interrupted
• 1:25:38
  beforehand
• 1:25:40
  And then when that was over,
• 1:25:41
  then they went to a separate area of
• 1:25:43
  the SAP Center for the affiliate
• 1:25:46
  gathering.
• 1:25:47
  It was two separate events,
• 1:25:49
  but it was in the same location at
• 1:25:50
  two different times.
• 1:25:53
  That's kind of neat for all those
• 1:25:56
  affiliate heads that went to that and got
• 1:25:58
  to get into that venue.
• 1:26:01
  Yeah.
• 1:26:03
  And Dave was there and took phone footage
• 1:26:07
  of the inside of the arena.
• 1:26:08
  Looked great.
• 1:26:11
  Looked like a good size for the CrossFit
• 1:26:13
  Games.
• 1:26:14
  Well, yeah.
• 1:26:17
  I mean, we talked about the seat number.
• 1:26:19
  It's pretty darn huge, honestly.
• 1:26:24
  What was weird is like I'm used to
• 1:26:26
  the big arenas having like an upper deck.
• 1:26:29
  Yeah.
• 1:26:30
  It kind of hangs out over.
• 1:26:31
  This arena doesn't have that.
• 1:26:33
  It's like all one, just like Madison.
• 1:26:37
  Yeah.
• 1:26:41
  And I guess Fort Worth was kind of
• 1:26:43
  like that too.
• 1:26:44
  It was much bigger,
• 1:26:45
  but it was like just one big swoop
• 1:26:48
  up.
• 1:26:52
  So I like the looks of that,
• 1:26:53
  I guess.
• 1:26:57
  I just hope it doesn't look empty.
• 1:26:59
  Yeah.
• 1:27:03
  I hope they can sell some tickets this
• 1:27:05
  year.
• 1:27:05
  Well, they can't price them out of a...
• 1:27:08
  Can't price people out.
• 1:27:13
  I wish it would be like other sports.
• 1:27:15
  And if you want to sit down on
• 1:27:16
  the glass, you're going to pay for that.
• 1:27:18
  Right.
• 1:27:19
  But like that,
• 1:27:19
  there's a general admission version at
• 1:27:22
  the, at the upper seats.
• 1:27:23
  Yep.
• 1:27:26
  That's, that's what needs to happen.
• 1:27:31
  So I guess that's it.
• 1:27:34
  So what's on your watch list now that
• 1:27:36
  we've had all this movie and TV talk?
• 1:27:40
  Well,
• 1:27:40
  I'm going to go watch after this game
• 1:27:42
  ends,
• 1:27:42
  which sounds like something just happened.
• 1:27:47
  Four minutes left.
• 1:27:48
  After this game,
• 1:27:48
  I'll probably watch the other episode of
• 1:27:50
  Pitt.
• 1:27:50
  You got two to go.
• 1:27:54
  Two?
• 1:27:54
  I don't know that I'll get two in
• 1:27:55
  tonight.
• 1:27:55
  I'm tired, but I'll watch one.
• 1:27:57
  I'll try to be caught up for next
• 1:27:59
  week.
• 1:28:01
  We got bring a friend week all week
• 1:28:03
  at the gym,
• 1:28:03
  so I just feel like it's going to
• 1:28:04
  be a really busy week at the gym.
• 1:28:05
  I feel like I'm going to have to
• 1:28:06
  be around more.
• 1:28:09
  Bigger classes.
• 1:28:11
  I bet you most of our gyms are
• 1:28:12
  closed tomorrow.
• 1:28:14
  We actually had like thirteen people show
• 1:28:16
  up today for open gym.
• 1:28:17
  Two weekends in a row.
• 1:28:19
  My Sunday has been huge.
• 1:28:21
  It's crazy.
• 1:28:22
  And it was terrible weather.
• 1:28:25
  Yeah.
• 1:28:27
  Eric Mackey says four or five great ideas
• 1:28:29
  just on today's show for HQ.
• 1:28:30
  Will they listen?
• 1:28:32
  Or when will they listen?
• 1:28:33
  Oh, he's confident.
• 1:28:35
  We'll just keep putting them out there.
• 1:28:37
  Something really cool happened to me this
• 1:28:38
  week.
• 1:28:40
  is i actually got a direct message from
• 1:28:42
  jenna halka um asking me where i lived
• 1:28:47
  i was like okay and she goes i'd
• 1:28:50
  like to invite you to the premiere
• 1:28:53
  screening of the new documentary bad news
• 1:29:01
  is in northern california so uh probably
• 1:29:08
  not going to be able to accept that
• 1:29:09
  invitation
• 1:29:10
  That's too bad.
• 1:29:10
  That would have been awesome.
• 1:29:12
  Would have been great.
• 1:29:13
  Would have loved it.
• 1:29:15
  Um,
• 1:29:15
  but I was really flattered that I was
• 1:29:18
  asked.
• 1:29:19
  Yeah.
• 1:29:21
  Um,
• 1:29:22
  show us how far we've come on this
• 1:29:23
  show.
• 1:29:26
  Oh,
• 1:29:26
  speaking of like where you live regions,
• 1:29:28
  I was on John and Claire.
• 1:29:31
  Speaking of Claire, it was just up there.
• 1:29:33
  Why was I in the South?
• 1:29:37
  I have no idea what I don't even
• 1:29:38
  know.
• 1:29:39
  Like, I was like, why was I?
• 1:29:43
  I don't know.
• 1:29:44
  I don't know how you got knocked out
• 1:29:46
  so early.
• 1:29:47
  I can't remember.
• 1:29:48
  I was with Claire.
• 1:29:49
  It is what it is,
• 1:29:52
  but I wasn't even in the right region.
• 1:29:54
  Claire voted for you.
• 1:29:55
  Yeah.
• 1:29:56
  That was sweet.
• 1:29:58
  Jenny was voting for you.
• 1:29:59
  Yeah.
• 1:30:00
  I had a couple.
• 1:30:03
  Yeah.
• 1:30:03
  I felt, I felt really bad for Corey.
• 1:30:05
  Corey went up against a Taylor or Tyler
• 1:30:08
  ran away.
• 1:30:09
  That's so Corey and I should have been
• 1:30:11
  switched.
• 1:30:12
  Yeah.
• 1:30:13
  We like, I was in like,
• 1:30:15
  I don't live there and Corey actually
• 1:30:16
  lives more South.
• 1:30:18
  So I don't know.
• 1:30:19
  I was like,
• 1:30:20
  we definitely should have been in
• 1:30:21
  different brackets, but that's okay.
• 1:30:22
  It's what it is.
• 1:30:24
  It was fun.
• 1:30:24
  That was cool.
• 1:30:27
  And poor Carolyn had to go up against
• 1:30:28
  Justin Madaris in the first round.
• 1:30:32
  You did so great, though.
• 1:30:37
  John had a plan with that bracket.
• 1:30:39
  Listen,
• 1:30:41
  the minute I saw it and I saw
• 1:30:43
  how they were doing, it was like, listen,
• 1:30:45
  this is just for fun.
• 1:30:46
  This is for discussion points.
• 1:30:48
  It's fun.
• 1:30:49
  And I really,
• 1:30:50
  really what I took from it is the
• 1:30:51
  kind words that Claire and John said about
• 1:30:54
  us.
• 1:30:55
  It was it really meant a lot.
• 1:30:57
  And the rest of it was just fun.
• 1:30:58
  It was just fun.
• 1:31:00
  I do blame John for everything, Claire.
• 1:31:01
  I feel like you kind of got railroad
• 1:31:03
  a few, a few times.
• 1:31:04
  He's just like, no, no,
• 1:31:05
  this is the criteria now.
• 1:31:06
  Nope.
• 1:31:07
  This is.
• 1:31:08
  And his criteria changed depending on
• 1:31:10
  which set he was voting.
• 1:31:11
  You were voting on.
• 1:31:12
  Yeah.
• 1:31:16
  I placed the names where I was told.
• 1:31:17
  Okay.
• 1:31:18
  Well, I live way up in Michigan,
• 1:31:20
  so definitely not South.
• 1:31:25
  It's about reach.
• 1:31:25
  It's about impact.
• 1:31:26
  I don't like this person.
• 1:31:27
  So let's take a vote.
• 1:31:30
  Just kidding.
• 1:31:31
  The only comment that I did take exception
• 1:31:33
  to is when I was up against Tyler
• 1:31:35
  and he said, well,
• 1:31:37
  Scott talks about Tyler's work and Tyler
• 1:31:40
  never talks about Scott's work.
• 1:31:43
  Well, I like he won.
• 1:31:46
  We talk about because he made a great
• 1:31:47
  app that we all use and you have
• 1:31:49
  to talk about that.
• 1:31:50
  The other thing is I do a daily
• 1:31:52
  show.
• 1:31:53
  try to come up with topics every single
• 1:31:56
  day.
• 1:31:57
  I had six days a week.
• 1:31:58
  I do a show.
• 1:32:00
  So coming up with topics is like the
• 1:32:01
  hardest thing in the world some days.
• 1:32:05
  And so you're just diving for any kind
• 1:32:07
  of inspiration to talk about something
• 1:32:11
  where Tyler does one show a week.
• 1:32:13
  And yeah.
• 1:32:18
  And they,
• 1:32:18
  and goes off of whatever spin has, uh,
• 1:32:21
  Topic wise.
• 1:32:22
  And spins,
• 1:32:24
  spins news channel is designed for you to
• 1:32:26
  talk about.
• 1:32:28
  Yeah.
• 1:32:29
  Like you can't help.
• 1:32:30
  And you, in this sport,
• 1:32:32
  you have to talk about the spin.
• 1:32:34
  He gets all the news all the time.
• 1:32:37
  You have to talk about him.
• 1:32:39
  You cannot avoid it, but that's it.
• 1:32:43
  I'm not upset about it.
• 1:32:45
  I really am not.
• 1:32:45
  It was fun.
• 1:32:49
  Claire was just there for the vibes and
• 1:32:51
  you could tell.
• 1:32:52
  Yeah.
• 1:32:52
  And it was, and it really was fun.
• 1:32:54
  I enjoyed it.
• 1:32:55
  I enjoyed the discussion.
• 1:32:56
  Yeah.
• 1:33:00
  I do think that like rich has way
• 1:33:03
  more reach than what they were,
• 1:33:04
  what John was giving him credit for.
• 1:33:07
  Um, so it is,
• 1:33:15
  it was John's vibes until he could blame
• 1:33:16
  the vibes on others.
• 1:33:19
  The spin is barbell shrugged meets
• 1:33:21
  WODcast.
• 1:33:25
  And let's be honest, early MCU,
• 1:33:28
  like early morning chalk up,
• 1:33:30
  like he gets news out there.
• 1:33:33
  It's the one place you go for news.
• 1:33:35
  Now nobody goes to morning chalk up.
• 1:33:37
  Right.
• 1:33:38
  But back in the day,
• 1:33:39
  everybody went to morning chalk up for the
• 1:33:41
  news.
• 1:33:42
  And so spin is morning chalk up plus
• 1:33:47
  WODcast.
• 1:33:50
  maybe barbell shrugged barbell shrugged
• 1:33:52
  was its own.
• 1:33:53
  And like, it really was different.
• 1:33:58
  I, when I went to the regionals,
• 1:34:01
  they were there and I, it was like,
• 1:34:03
  I was meeting my heroes,
• 1:34:05
  the barbell shrug team.
• 1:34:12
  Rich is the only person that bracket that
• 1:34:14
  could literally sway enough of our
• 1:34:15
  ecosystem to end our ecosystem.
• 1:34:20
  I think you got a point there.
• 1:34:22
  It's really a great point.
• 1:34:24
  Yeah.
• 1:34:28
  Early barbell shrugged was so good.
• 1:34:29
  Yeah.
• 1:34:30
  I got to meet them before the one
• 1:34:32
  died.
• 1:34:34
  Okay.
• 1:34:35
  And they were so good before that.
• 1:34:43
  so yeah but yeah gosh that was such
• 1:34:46
  a great podcast chris yeah i still have
• 1:34:51
  the picture with the three of them um
• 1:34:54
  at in vendor village at the twenty
• 1:34:57
  fourteen regionals in cincinnati
• 1:35:01
  which was my favorite regional maybe of
• 1:35:03
  all time when rich and Scott went head
• 1:35:06
  to head and it rich did the throw
• 1:35:08
  over the back.
• 1:35:10
  Scott did the jump and rich just edged
• 1:35:12
  him out.
• 1:35:14
  So many good memories there.
• 1:35:16
  Danny Seidel crushing, uh, the, the,
• 1:35:20
  what was it?
• 1:35:20
  Ten root legless.
• 1:35:21
  Oh, with the shuttle.
• 1:35:24
  Yeah.
• 1:35:25
  On the women's side,
• 1:35:25
  she was just crushing it.
• 1:35:28
  And then, uh,
• 1:35:30
  Yeah, it was such a fun one.
• 1:35:32
  Such a fun one.
• 1:35:37
  Claire sent every eliminated person an
• 1:35:39
  apology for the show.
• 1:35:42
  She probably did.
• 1:35:45
  If you didn't see her Instagram,
• 1:35:46
  if you don't know,
• 1:35:47
  Claire runs a mile a day.
• 1:35:50
  And it was so icy this morning that
• 1:35:53
  she was afraid to hold her phone up
• 1:35:54
  to actually film her running.
• 1:35:58
  Yeah.
• 1:35:59
  It is so crazy out there.
• 1:36:04
  Are you talking about Danny Seidel cross
• 1:36:06
  fat?
• 1:36:06
  I think so.
• 1:36:08
  She was so, and she would, I mean,
• 1:36:10
  she was so much taller than the other
• 1:36:11
  women athletes.
• 1:36:14
  She just crushed on that legless rope
• 1:36:16
  climb.
• 1:36:21
  It was so much fun.
• 1:36:22
  I, that was just a great, great regional.
• 1:36:27
  You ever go to any of the regionals
• 1:36:29
  or was that your time?
• 1:36:32
  Yeah, that was like great.
• 1:36:37
  It wasn't right.
• 1:36:37
  It wasn't before my time.
• 1:36:38
  I just, I don't know.
• 1:36:39
  We didn't just didn't travel.
• 1:36:44
  I almost went to rogue that year that
• 1:36:47
  it was in Columbus.
• 1:36:47
  The last year it was in Columbus and
• 1:36:49
  I'm kicking myself that I didn't go that
• 1:36:51
  year.
• 1:36:52
  That was great.
• 1:36:53
  It was like right around mother's day or
• 1:36:54
  whatever.
• 1:36:54
  I don't remember why,
• 1:36:55
  like just the timing.
• 1:36:57
  It wasn't great.
• 1:36:58
  When rich walked out shaved and the
• 1:37:01
  bandana on his head and the necklace,
• 1:37:06
  it was like the place went crazy town,
• 1:37:10
  banana pants.
• 1:37:12
  And that's the year that the girl got
• 1:37:13
  hurt and they brought the person out of
• 1:37:14
  the stands and she PR her snatch.
• 1:37:18
  Like it was on believable, such a fun,
• 1:37:23
  fun event.
• 1:37:23
  I can't,
• 1:37:24
  I want it to come back here so
• 1:37:25
  bad.
• 1:37:31

• 1:37:33
  run.
• 1:37:34
  He's a professional wrestler,
• 1:37:35
  so his gear came in clutch.
• 1:37:36
