- 0:51Grab a plate, tune in now,
- 0:52you part of the fam.
- 0:58It's lunchtime.
- 1:01What's going on, everybody?
- 1:02Welcome to Lunch with Clydesdale and the
- 1:04Cowboy.
- 1:05As you notice across the top of your
- 1:06screen,
- 1:07I have made a new graphic to include
- 1:09the cowboy.
- 1:10And when I did that,
- 1:11he decided not to show up.
- 1:15It actually,
- 1:16like in the history of this show,
- 1:17every time I add the cowboy to an
- 1:20element of what we're doing,
- 1:22he misses the next show.
- 1:24So I am the cause of his back
- 1:28injury.
- 1:31Apparently.
- 1:34I guess he just did a little tweak
- 1:35of the back.
- 1:35He's trying to get in with PT,
- 1:37trying to get that scheduled now.
- 1:40I'm sure we'll talk about it later in
- 1:44the show or in the week or whatever.
- 1:49So...
- 1:51So Vicki and I held a team meeting
- 1:53this morning, minus the cowboy.
- 1:56And she had a great idea.
- 2:01And so we're going to run with it.
- 2:03I'm going to run with it.
- 2:06In honor of Daniel Arnson,
- 2:08we are going to have a weekly Dumb
- 2:12Dumb Stupid Pants award.
- 2:15And we're going to take nominees through
- 2:17the week.
- 2:19and we will put up the nominees in
- 2:21a poll on Friday,
- 2:23and every week we will have an answer
- 2:26or a winner of the Dumb Dumb Stupid
- 2:30Pants Award.
- 2:32So, hypothetically,
- 2:37the Masters athletes do not know what
- 2:40their pay will be for winning the CrossFit
- 2:43Games.
- 2:45That would be a nominee...
- 2:48of crossfit hq for not following their own
- 2:52rule book telling them what their prize
- 2:55purse would be they would be a nominee
- 2:58for the dumb dumb stupid pants award
- 3:05unlike crossfit i'm not going to put
- 3:06anything in
- 3:09a rule book because I want it to
- 3:11be open.
- 3:12I want the nominees to be from all
- 3:14over the place.
- 3:15I want you guys to be creative in
- 3:17who might be the dumb, dumb, stupid pants.
- 3:20And so you can put that in the
- 3:22comments on the YouTube channel,
- 3:25or you can DM me with a dumb,
- 3:27dumb, stupid pants nominee.
- 3:29I am sure that we will have our
- 3:30own nominees through the week.
- 3:34And with that,
- 3:36we just need a brief explanation as to
- 3:38why this thing or this person deserves the
- 3:42Dumb Dumb Stupid Pants Award this week.
- 3:47So, with that...
- 3:51I saw a lot of people dancing to
- 3:53the theme song.
- 3:54Yes,
- 3:55we dance almost every day to the theme
- 3:57song, just so you know, behind the scenes.
- 3:59So the fact that you guys are dancing
- 4:01out there,
- 4:02it's pretty freaking awesome too.
- 4:04So we can all call it the dance
- 4:07party.
- 4:14Avera,
- 4:15given odds are high that we talk about
- 4:19a movie or a song,
- 4:21I want to recommend the movie Hostiles.
- 4:23Now, how about some CrossFit talk?
- 4:26Well, what I want to talk about, Avera,
- 4:28I have not seen Hostiles.
- 4:29I will put it on my list of
- 4:32things to check out as long as it's
- 4:34not a horror movie.
- 4:34I don't watch horror movies.
- 4:37That's like reading books to me.
- 4:44Ken Walters, well,
- 4:45now I can't comment in the chats anymore.
- 4:47Why can't you comment in the chats?
- 4:55um what we're gonna talk waza socal we
- 5:01are it's on my list i promise um
- 5:05what i want to talk about right now
- 5:06though is last night i watched the season
- 5:11debut of lioness you all know i am
- 5:14a big taylor sheridan fan the unique thing
- 5:18about lioness is it's the one show where
- 5:20taylor sheridan is actually an actor that
- 5:22plays a pretty big role
- 5:24in the show and if you've never kept
- 5:28captured lioness it is the first episode
- 5:31of season three last night and it is
- 5:34about a female operative with the cia and
- 5:40they are put into places where maybe a
- 5:43women a woman can could infiltrate where a
- 5:46man couldn't um
- 5:49It started off with a bang last night.
- 5:50I'll just say that.
- 5:52Something very dramatic happens in the
- 5:54first five minutes of the show,
- 5:56and then it goes back six months,
- 5:58and it's going to lead up to why
- 5:59what happened happened, I'm assuming.
- 6:04But it is phenomenal.
- 6:06And what it's great about is it makes
- 6:09you think.
- 6:12Nicole Kidman's husband in the show is...
- 6:15I don't know what his exact...
- 6:18is the exact background in the show is,
- 6:19but I think he's like a professor.
- 6:21He does analytical things about like why
- 6:24the world ways works the way it does,
- 6:26why politics work the way they do.
- 6:29And oftentimes he makes statements that
- 6:31just make you go,
- 6:33is that really what's happening in the
- 6:35world?
- 6:35Because it makes way too much sense,
- 6:39but it's also kind of scary.
- 6:41they deal with topics that we're dealing
- 6:43with in the world today and that's why
- 6:46i really really enjoy it um i think
- 6:50it's underrated for um i think it's
- 6:55underrated for with the taylor sheridan
- 6:59shows i think it's up there with the
- 7:00best of them it is really really great
- 7:06Um, John George, great show.
- 7:08Now I'm going to have to go pay
- 7:09to download season three.
- 7:10Well, it's only episode one is out.
- 7:13Um, so there you go.
- 7:17Uh, Mark Phillips, he was in Yellowstone,
- 7:18I guess not really a big part though.
- 7:20Yeah.
- 7:20He was like the horse trainer,
- 7:22horse guy in Yellowstone.
- 7:25Um,
- 7:26he had like one little run where he
- 7:28took Jimmy, uh,
- 7:29down to the four sixes ranch, uh,
- 7:31taught him more about like the horses and
- 7:34all of that kind of stuff.
- 7:35But in Lioness, he plays a major role.
- 7:39He is the leader of a Delta force
- 7:43as part of the Army,
- 7:44and they always seem to come to blows
- 7:47with the Lioness team.
- 7:50Because Lioness is CIA,
- 7:52Taylor Sheridan's group is Army,
- 7:54and they battle over how strategic they
- 8:00should be or what strategy they should
- 8:02use.
- 8:04So it's really good.
- 8:09Uh, KDL, uh, got my shirt and stickers.
- 8:12Many thanks.
- 8:13My wife even complimented me on how I
- 8:15looked wearing it.
- 8:16Dude, I'm telling you,
- 8:17the shirt makes people look good.
- 8:23And I've gotten, um,
- 8:24a couple of people have gotten their
- 8:25shirts.
- 8:26Uh, they have said how soft it is,
- 8:28how comfortable it is.
- 8:30So I'm getting really good feedback on
- 8:31which I am so happy about because it
- 8:34was kind of like a blind buy.
- 8:36I went with a company, um,
- 8:39And until they came in, I was really,
- 8:41really afraid that they weren't going to
- 8:46be good quality.
- 8:48But they turned out to be really,
- 8:49really nice.
- 8:51So I'm really, really, really,
- 8:56really happy about that.
- 8:58I like how tiny Corey is compared to
- 9:00the Clydesdale on the banner.
- 9:02Nice touch.
- 9:03Well, that is real life.
- 9:07That is an authentic description.
- 9:11I am a large five foot eleven human
- 9:14being.
- 9:15Corey is a very small four foot nine
- 9:19individual.
- 9:20I mean five foot four.
- 9:22Sorry.
- 9:24Did I say that wrong?
- 9:32Someone said he had a role in...
- 9:34So Taylor Sheridan actually started as an
- 9:36actor.
- 9:38And...
- 9:39and then went into writing.
- 9:42Uh,
- 9:42so he's been an actor in a lot
- 9:43of things.
- 9:44Cause that was really his like precursor
- 9:47to being who he is today,
- 9:49but he didn't write sons of anarchy.
- 9:50Um,
- 9:52he just may have been in it as
- 9:54a small role, but, uh, but he's,
- 9:57I actually,
- 9:58he is a total cock in lioness and
- 10:01he plays that role so well,
- 10:02my wife and I were commenting on it
- 10:04last night after the show.
- 10:06Um,
- 10:11Wayne Short,
- 10:11I just wish Taylor Sheridan would stop
- 10:14getting distracted and finish season three
- 10:15of Landman already.
- 10:17Wayne, Landman is coming out in the fall.
- 10:20It comes out every fall.
- 10:23From what I understand, it's done filming.
- 10:26It's done.
- 10:26It's just waiting to come out.
- 10:29It all comes in order.
- 10:30You get Lioness, then you get Tulsa King,
- 10:34and then they're adding Frisco King to
- 10:35that, and then you get Landman.
- 10:40Then we'll get the Dutton Ranch.
- 10:42So you get a little bit of Taylor
- 10:43Sheridan all year long.
- 10:49Avera, is Corey really only five-four?
- 10:52That is practically an adaptive athlete.
- 10:54I don't know the specific height.
- 10:57I just know he is shorter than I
- 11:00am by a pretty stiff margin.
- 11:13Did you know he wrote the Sicario movies?
- 11:16I didn't.
- 11:17I'll have to check those out.
- 11:19I've heard they're really good.
- 11:20I've never seen them, Joseph.
- 11:25I'm going to have to check those out.
- 11:27I've been interested.
- 11:28I've had them in a queue before and
- 11:30just never pulled the trigger.
- 11:32So I need to check those out.
- 11:38Wayne Short said,
- 11:38I read an article that said they haven't
- 11:40even started filming yet.
- 11:43Uh, okay.
- 11:44I'll do research.
- 11:45I'll do more research, Wayne.
- 11:47My bad.
- 11:48Uh, the other thing we watched last night,
- 11:53if you guys haven't seen it,
- 11:54the new Will Ferrell show on Netflix
- 11:57called the Hawk or just Hawk.
- 11:59Uh, and he's a golfer.
- 12:02If you just need something silly to watch,
- 12:06uh,
- 12:08what i like about it is i lioness
- 12:10i'm thinking a lot the hawk i don't
- 12:12have to think at all like i can
- 12:15go totally brain dead with that one my
- 12:18wife laughs very hard at the hawk i
- 12:22i chuckle and i think it's pretty cute
- 12:24and funny um there's some really funny
- 12:26parts she like all out laughs belly laughs
- 12:31at the thing
- 12:34So we're working our way through some
- 12:36shows.
- 12:38My other big favorite show right now is
- 12:39a show called Ride or Die on Prime,
- 12:43and it's Hannah Waddingham and the lady
- 12:46from The Help and Hidden Figures.
- 12:52Why can't I think of her name off
- 12:53the top of my head?
- 12:56But anyway, it's really good.
- 13:00It's really good, too.
- 13:02Ken Walters,
- 13:03I'm so glad I don't watch hours upon
- 13:05hours of any series at all.
- 13:09Where do you all find the time for
- 13:10all these?
- 13:11I have so much other stuff to do.
- 13:13At least with podcasts,
- 13:14I can listen and work.
- 13:19I don't know.
- 13:21I do all my things and then at
- 13:23the end of the night,
- 13:23that's how I decompress, Ken.
- 13:26But there are times in the year where
- 13:28there is no good TV.
- 13:30So then you kind of catch up on
- 13:31the stuff that you miss throughout the
- 13:32year.
- 13:33Octavia Spencer.
- 13:34Yes, thank you, Johnny Hayes.
- 13:36Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham.
- 13:39It is a really good spy thriller on
- 13:44Prime.
- 13:44You should check that out.
- 13:52Most of the stuff I run on my
- 13:53second monitor during work.
- 13:55I do do some of that.
- 13:57Some days I just can't do the podcast
- 13:59thing anymore.
- 14:03Some days I need to escape like the
- 14:05CrossFit world and just do something that
- 14:08gets my mind off of.
- 14:14Lito,
- 14:15I watched all four seasons of From in
- 14:17about a week.
- 14:19Eleven hour flights to and from the US
- 14:21helped to and now working my way through
- 14:24silo I've heard silos really good, too.
- 14:27I have not dove into that one yet
- 14:32Ted lasso comes out this week season four
- 14:34of Ted lasso.
- 14:35That's one of my favorite all-time shows.
- 14:37I Cannot wait for that to come out
- 14:39this week,
- 14:39too speaking of silo that's on Apple TV
- 14:44uh vicky is saying uh ddsp nomination in
- 14:47the bucket for people that watch too much
- 14:49tv we got it
- 14:53So speaking of podcasts, I sent, oh,
- 14:55Joseph Ramirez.
- 14:56Go ahead.
- 14:58Applying to be CFO.
- 14:59I know jack about it,
- 15:00but I couldn't be the worst applicant.
- 15:02Well, speaking of that,
- 15:03Barbell Spin just posted a memo from the
- 15:07chief people's officer of CrossFit and
- 15:11what they're looking for in a CFO.
- 15:14If she can pull that up real quick,
- 15:17like, can you forward to the memo?
- 15:24Are you able to blow that up Vicki
- 15:26for me?
- 15:29Oh, there we go.
- 15:29But so anyway,
- 15:33we are hiring our next CFO.
- 15:35This is a job for someone who wants
- 15:38to help redefine what's possible and not
- 15:42just balance the books.
- 15:44For twenty five years,
- 15:45CrossFit has proven the world wrong about
- 15:47who it underestimates.
- 15:49Our methodology doesn't work because it's
- 15:51trending.
- 15:52It works because we spent a quarter
- 15:54century proving it delivers that efficacy.
- 15:57That's our bar.
- 15:58Now we need a financial leader who can
- 16:00hold it.
- 16:03And you can go on and read this
- 16:04yourself on the Barbell Spins Instagram
- 16:07account.
- 16:11But what I like about that is they
- 16:18are saying they want someone that pretty
- 16:21much knows the methodology,
- 16:23understands the methodology,
- 16:24understands what CrossFit is trying to do.
- 16:30And I like that.
- 16:32The other thing I wanted to ask you
- 16:34all is,
- 16:35And it's been rattling around in my brain
- 16:37for a day.
- 16:39Yesterday on our show,
- 16:40it broke that they were looking for a
- 16:43CFO.
- 16:46We also talked yesterday about...
- 16:49The prize money of the Masters athletes
- 16:52and adaptive athletes not being released.
- 16:55Before that,
- 16:56it was reported that the team money and
- 17:00individual athlete money was not dispersed
- 17:04in a way.
- 17:05Well, it's not dispersed yet,
- 17:06but it was not announced in a way
- 17:10that was in congruency with the rule book
- 17:15and what they had already stated.
- 17:17Is this a coincidence that all of these
- 17:20financial decisions and financial
- 17:23announcements that have not been made or
- 17:26have been made maybe incorrectly is a
- 17:30coincidence or a cause and effect of
- 17:34needing a new CFO?
- 17:41Do you think that they are related?
- 17:45in some way because i'm having a really
- 17:48hard time not thinking that they are
- 17:52related in some way i did get and
- 17:58i did get clarification that the prize
- 18:02money for the masters athletes has to come
- 18:06from hq
- 18:10That is not on Legends.
- 18:11That is not on the Masters group.
- 18:14That is on HQ.
- 18:15They are the ones who collected the money
- 18:18and they are the ones that should be
- 18:19announcing the prize purse for the Masters
- 18:22division.
- 18:25And I did get clarification on that and
- 18:28can say that with certainty.
- 18:35If they are related,
- 18:36they would never admit they messed up.
- 18:40I'm not saying they would admit anything,
- 18:42Ed.
- 18:42I'm just saying that it's pretty odd that
- 18:47things that should be out there are not
- 18:49out there,
- 18:50and all of a sudden now we're hiring
- 18:51a new CFO.
- 18:53I didn't even hear we got rid of
- 18:54the old CFO.
- 19:04It's just weird.
- 19:06It's just weird.
- 19:08i could be totally wrong it could be
- 19:10that this was the plan all along who
- 19:13knows but it just it does seem pretty
- 19:17coincidental um what i do want to be
- 19:27brought up is the waza teams we wanted
- 19:31to talk about that as well vicky
- 19:40So what a blues announced yesterday on
- 19:42Instagram.
- 19:44It was a couple of days ago where
- 19:46we got word that they were doing teams
- 19:50or camps instead of us versus the world
- 19:55or North America versus the world.
- 19:57Now we're doing camps.
- 20:00They announced yesterday that it's going
- 20:02to be four different camps.
- 20:06What four are, are it going to be?
- 20:10We don't know.
- 20:11It has not been announced yet.
- 20:13My speculation and what I put in the
- 20:15comments was that it's going to be proven
- 20:19mayhem brute and one unaffiliated camp.
- 20:29Um,
- 20:32Yeah, Carolyn and I,
- 20:34we went in a text chat last night.
- 20:36She wants it to be like F one,
- 20:39like team tier, team Adidas, team Nike,
- 20:41team Jim Reaper, something like that,
- 20:44which I am not against in the CrossFit
- 20:46game season.
- 20:47I think that is something that could spark
- 20:50the team division in a way that changing
- 20:55the number of participants and things like
- 20:56that would not do.
- 20:59I think that at a place like Waterpalooza
- 21:01SoCal to get that many different sponsors
- 21:04in the same building when Jim Reapers is
- 21:08a sponsor of the overall event would be
- 21:11practically impossible.
- 21:17So I feel like while that's a cool
- 21:24idea for the game season,
- 21:25it's probably not practical for
- 21:27Waterpalooza SoCal.
- 21:33What are your thoughts on who the four
- 21:35camps will be?
- 21:37Again, mine are proven, mayhem, brute,
- 21:43unaffiliated.
- 21:50Ken Walters, weirdly,
- 21:51I spent a lot of time at the
- 21:52games.
- 21:52RX experience lounge every day with the
- 21:57CFO,
- 21:58who is also a head of retail and
- 21:59special events.
- 22:01Seemed very excited about the future.
- 22:02Hope he just got reassigned.
- 22:09Barry McCockner,
- 22:10no link to the actual job on her
- 22:12post either.
- 22:17the,
- 22:18you cannot put a link in Instagram just
- 22:20so you know that, um,
- 22:22unless you have like some gazillion
- 22:24followers, you have,
- 22:26the only place you can put a link
- 22:27is in your bio.
- 22:32I believe Dylan confirmed group brute last
- 22:35night on get with get a glint and
- 22:38things podcast.
- 22:40Okay.
- 22:41I,
- 22:41I only saw the beginning of that Joseph.
- 22:45Um,
- 22:48Oh, Barry says LinkedIn.
- 22:50LinkedIn post does not have the link.
- 22:54Yeah,
- 22:55you definitely want to link your link on
- 22:56the LinkedIn post.
- 22:59That's crucial because LinkedIn is a job
- 23:03website, right?
- 23:06If you're hiring someone on LinkedIn,
- 23:08you want it to be done there.
- 23:15George Wang says,
- 23:16if we went with sponsored teams,
- 23:18Rad would be too strong.
- 23:19Amy Sturtz, Jay Crouch, Madaris, DBE.
- 23:26Tear would crush them, George.
- 23:28Sorry.
- 23:36Um,
- 23:42Pazley Craig, Craig Pazley, TTT,
- 23:45Proven Mayhem Brute,
- 23:46and in an unaffiliated.
- 23:47They're only doing four.
- 23:48You can't break the rules, Craig.
- 23:55You can only do four.
- 24:00SoCal made the announcement only four.
- 24:11Yeah, he wasn't.
- 24:12And he was saying what Carolyn was saying,
- 24:14that she wants an F-one with sponsored
- 24:16teams, not camps.
- 24:18She thinks that would be more fun.
- 24:23So that's what the rad comment was made
- 24:28about.
- 24:29But that is not practical for Waterpalooza
- 24:32SoCal.
- 24:33They are a Jim Reapers event with Jim
- 24:36Reapers being the title sponsor.
- 24:37Jim Reapers is not going to let other
- 24:39apparel companies sponsor people within
- 24:42the sport and get all of the publicity
- 24:46and marketing from that.
- 24:49If they did,
- 24:50they would greatly diminish the amount of
- 24:53money they would get to be the title
- 24:54sponsor.
- 25:01But Amy Kringle's coach said this morning
- 25:05that Amy Kringle is probably not doing
- 25:08Wadapalooza SoCal because she's doing WFP
- 25:18and she's doing Rogue and there's a
- 25:21holiday in there too for them.
- 25:23So...
- 25:27So there's a good chance our champion
- 25:29won't even be at what a Palooza SoCal.
- 25:38They would pull a high rocks and not
- 25:40allow any other brands and photos.
- 25:42Then the other brands wouldn't
- 25:44participate.
- 25:45That's it's a chicken egg thing.
- 25:48You, if the other brands participated,
- 25:51Jim Reapers would be pissed and pull their
- 25:53money.
- 25:54If they,
- 25:56if jim reapers was if jim reapers allowed
- 26:00them and said they couldn't show up in
- 26:03photos they would the other sponsors
- 26:06wouldn't even show up so it it would
- 26:10have to be a different format in how
- 26:13you paid for the event
- 26:21Barry says,
- 26:21everyone DM Kalo your resume since you
- 26:24have no links.
- 26:26And Vicky said,
- 26:27CFO position is also not on the CrossFit
- 26:29website.
- 26:33That's great.
- 26:36I wonder if you go to Indeed or
- 26:39any of those job matching places,
- 26:42if you typed CFO CrossFit,
- 26:44if it would show up.
- 26:57The only other thing I really have on
- 26:58the docket today is Flow Elite.
- 27:06Flow Elite's taking it on the chin pretty
- 27:08hard this year for putting some stuff
- 27:14behind a paywall.
- 27:17And whether you like the paywall or you
- 27:19don't like the paywall or whatever,
- 27:21I'm not here to debate that.
- 27:24But they didn't have anything to do with
- 27:26the broadcast of the games.
- 27:29The broadcast was done by third parties.
- 27:31They just housed it.
- 27:32They gave the platform where it resides.
- 27:35That is it.
- 27:38So they can't be blamed for the quality
- 27:43of the broadcast or the complaints you
- 27:45have with the broadcast.
- 27:50In addition to that,
- 27:52I started following Flow Elite on
- 27:54Instagram.
- 27:55And the entire weekend,
- 27:57they were marketing the CrossFit Games.
- 28:01They were marketing the CrossFit Games at
- 28:04a substantial rate.
- 28:08Grabbing clips,
- 28:09showing stuff that was going on.
- 28:15to me,
- 28:17those are the pieces we weren't getting
- 28:19with YouTube.
- 28:22YouTube was doing nothing to promote the
- 28:24CrossFit Games.
- 28:26YouTube's algorithm does nothing to bring
- 28:28in new customers to a broadcast on their
- 28:32channel.
- 28:33They only push that event out to people
- 28:38who are already fans of the sport.
- 28:42Where Flow Elite is brand new to this,
- 28:45they are throwing stuff on their
- 28:47Instagram.
- 28:48They're throwing stuff on the main screen
- 28:49of Flow Elite.
- 28:50They're promoting the sport heavily over
- 28:53the weekend.
- 28:55And that is something we never had before.
- 29:01They also put money into prizes for the
- 29:04athletes with the grittiest performance of
- 29:07the day in all divisions,
- 29:10which we did not have before.
- 29:15So while everybody wants to pile on the
- 29:17hate to flow elite,
- 29:19they're doing things that we never have
- 29:21seen before in the sport.
- 29:23They're promoting it and they're adding
- 29:26money to the ecosystem.
- 29:32So I got to say about that,
- 29:34everybody's going after him pretty hard.
- 29:36I think they've done some pretty cool
- 29:38things.
- 29:39Um,
- 29:43Scott, I'm sorry,
- 29:44but people who do not CrossFit are not
- 29:47watching the games.
- 29:48Hell,
- 29:49most people who do CrossFit do not even
- 29:51watch the games.
- 29:54I like that you can make the blanket
- 29:55statement and you can speak for everybody
- 29:58in the world.
- 30:00There are people out there that don't even
- 30:01know the CrossFit games exist.
- 30:05So maybe a handful of people saw something
- 30:08on Flow Elite and thought, wow,
- 30:10that looks pretty cool.
- 30:11Let me check it out.
- 30:16I don't think you can make blanket
- 30:18statements like that.
- 30:20That is basically giving up and saying
- 30:23that there's a small niche of people that
- 30:25watch it and nobody else ever will.
- 30:28That's not a world I want to live
- 30:29in.
- 30:36I want to live in a world where
- 30:41we try to take advantage of opportunities
- 30:43that exist.
- 30:45And we work hard to try to attract
- 30:47new people to the methodology and the
- 30:50sport.
- 30:52Giving up is not the answer.
- 30:56Ed says, we can all make jokes,
- 30:58but the CFO role is vital to move
- 31:00CrossFit forward, satisfies Burke,
- 31:02but also helps the community.
- 31:04I hope so.
- 31:08Meredith says, heck,
- 31:09I don't do CrossFit and I watch the
- 31:10games.
- 31:11We do exist.
- 31:12Thank you.
- 31:17Barry McOchner,
- 31:17I watched Slippery Stairs on ESPN,
- 31:20the Ocho, and now I'm a fan.
- 31:22I watched the same thing, Barry.
- 31:24I was rolling at these idiots trying to
- 31:29run up Slippery Stairs.
- 31:31And I think they get to,
- 31:32people throw balls and stuff at them too.
- 31:34Avera,
- 31:39there's a small niche of people who watch
- 31:41it and most nobody else in the world
- 31:43ever will.
- 31:44Again,
- 31:45I don't want to live in your world.
- 31:46That is such a pessimistic view of things.
- 31:50Why do we have marketing?
- 31:56That is the world.
- 32:03Day two, he spin picks winner.
- 32:06I remember when my dad told me a
- 32:07few years ago they had watched the games.
- 32:09We never talked about CrossFit,
- 32:11and he didn't do it, but he watched.
- 32:14There you go.
- 32:18Uh, barbell spin, slippery stairs.
- 32:19Dave avoided running up and down the
- 32:21stairs outside the SAP center because it
- 32:23was too dangerous.
- 32:26Spin.
- 32:27If you have not seen slippery stair racing
- 32:29on the Ocho,
- 32:30it is definitely worth a fifteen minute
- 32:32watch.
- 32:39George Wang,
- 32:40ninety percent of my CrossFit gym didn't
- 32:42even know the games were going on last
- 32:44week.
- 32:45And whose fault is that?
- 32:55Whose fault is that?
- 32:57All the media around CrossFit are inside
- 32:59media.
- 33:01None of us are talking about it outside
- 33:03of the bubble that we live in.
- 33:06You're never going to attract new people
- 33:08in if you stay inside the bubble.
- 33:11Flow Elite is going outside the bubble.
- 33:16Whether you like it or not,
- 33:18whether you like the paywall or not,
- 33:20it is outside the bubble.
- 33:28It's the only way you're going to get
- 33:29new people in at all is to go
- 33:31outside that bubble.
- 33:34The spin says twenty twenty five slippery
- 33:36stairs is on ESPN's YouTube and here and
- 33:40our producers pulled it up.
- 33:42Here we go.
- 33:43Yeah,
- 33:43you got to get to the top and
- 33:44ring the bell.
- 33:54The one I watched,
- 33:55they were throwing balls at the people.
- 34:03That looks like a team stair climb.
- 34:08There we go.
- 34:09That's the stuff you there's the balls.
- 34:11I saw the balls.
- 34:12I knew there were balls.
- 34:25And the competitors are throwing more
- 34:27water on the stairs, which is brilliant.
- 34:32Barry says they need that at the games.
- 34:38Yeah, Mark,
- 34:40Vicky has the biggest mouse cursor I have
- 34:42ever seen.
- 34:48Meg is late.
- 34:50We went back to the normal time just
- 34:52for you, Meg.
- 34:52So you didn't get stuck in nap time
- 34:57and then you show up late.
- 34:59What the hell?
- 35:04Um,
- 35:05this looks like it should be on Japanese
- 35:07TV.
- 35:07It does.
- 35:09It really is worth like,
- 35:10if you just want to laugh a little
- 35:12bit, uh, Mark, that's where it started.
- 35:16Just like Ninja warrior.
- 35:23Um, uh,
- 35:28Meg is in the five-sided puzzle palace.
- 35:31So time doesn't exist here.
- 35:35uh if i turned on slippery stairs by
- 35:41accident i'd keep it on yeah that's what
- 35:46happened to me my wife and i were
- 35:48flipping around hit the ocho one day and
- 35:51we ended up watching slippery stairs um
- 35:55the last thing i wanted to throw up
- 35:57there is vicky if you could throw up
- 35:58the podcast top earners
- 36:08This is the top earner in podcasts.
- 36:12Joe Rogan makes eighty two million dollars
- 36:14a year.
- 36:15Can you believe that?
- 36:17Can you believe that?
- 36:18If you cycle to twentieth,
- 36:21I the bummer for me is.
- 36:27I felt like twenty third, like just below.
- 36:31Just below.
- 36:33Spin was number six.
- 36:38This money is absurd.
- 36:43My,
- 36:44my two dollars and fifty cents a month
- 36:46doesn't even,
- 36:48doesn't even like put a blip on the,

- 37:30That is Thirdsy.com backslash Jazzy at

- 37:50So...
- 37:56Tessa says,
- 37:58there are teenagers making huge coin on
- 38:00TikTok.
