  and the world is all a fluster today
• 0:05
  as you can tell we're even flipped
• 0:07
  backwards on this thing
• 0:21
  I love the chase and the hunt and
• 0:23
  I set the pace when I'm running.
• 0:24
  I always take what I want and I
• 0:26
  always give it one hundred.
• 0:27
  Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.
• 0:29
  Play the game like it's nothing.
• 0:30
  I'm always thankful for something.
• 0:32
  Don't take for granted, stay humble.
• 0:33
  Now wake up!
• 0:35
  It's time to look at the enemy.
• 0:37
  Look in the mirror if he is no
• 0:39
  friend to me.
• 0:40
  It's not working out,
• 0:41
  maybe it's the chemistry.
• 0:43
  It's time to break up so I can
• 0:45
  make a better me.
• 0:49
  It's lunch time.
• 0:52
  All right.
• 0:52
  I got to fix that.
• 0:53
  There we go.
• 0:56
  Okay.
• 0:58
  There we go, man.
• 0:59
  If you guys only knew like behind the
• 1:01
  scenes, the stuff that happens,
• 1:05
  I couldn't hear anything.
• 1:07
  I couldn't hear my own voice.
• 1:09
  I couldn't hear any music, nothing.
• 1:12
  And then all of a sudden it just
• 1:13
  clicked in.
• 1:15
  The road caster is on its last leg.
• 1:19
  Because every Sunday night it goes out
• 1:20
  like one hour into the show.
• 1:23
  Exactly one hour every week.
• 1:27
  It's like a free trial.
• 1:30
  You got you got fifty nine minutes and
• 1:32
  thirty seven seconds.
• 1:33
  That's from right from right now.
• 1:35
  So I try to get like either Jamie
• 1:38
  or Carolyn pissed off right at that
• 1:39
  moment.
• 1:40
  So they just start.
• 1:41
  They just go off and then and I
• 1:43
  have time to reset everything.
• 1:45
  Yeah.
• 1:46
  It's a solid plan.
• 1:47
  It's a solid plan.
• 1:50
  Keep a sharp stick nearby so I can
• 1:52
  poke the bear.
• 1:52
  Yep.
• 1:54
  Yep.
• 1:54
  Just going to have like some topics on
• 1:56
  hand to throw,
• 1:57
  throw out there to the two of them.
• 1:59
  So one of them takes the bait.
• 2:01
  Then I can go reset everything.
• 2:02
  Come back.
• 2:04
  Love it.
• 2:07
  So, uh, man, it's Friday.
• 2:09
  Thank goodness.
• 2:11
  Goodness.
• 2:12
  It is cable Scott.
• 2:16
  if it's the cable, like it would be,
• 2:19
  it would happen intermittently, right?
• 2:20
  Like,
• 2:22
  like the cable got bumped or whatever.
• 2:25
  It's exactly an hour in almost every
• 2:28
  single week.
• 2:28
  Just that you watch by it.
• 2:33
  Uh,
• 2:34
  and we have one of the fittest women
• 2:36
  in the world with us today.
• 2:37
  That would be just my own.
• 2:41
  Uh,
• 2:44
  Sean in Oregon.
• 2:44
  What up guys?
• 2:45
  Looks like I missed you crossing the three
• 2:47
  K subscriber mark.
• 2:48
  Congrats.
• 2:50
  We did.
• 2:51
  We passed it.
• 2:52
  And we're now at three thousand and one.
• 2:55
  So only nine hundred and ninety nine more
• 2:57
  subscribers did four K.
• 3:00
  We rolling on the other side.
• 3:02
  Absolutely.
• 3:03
  Absolutely.
• 3:06
  It just got tired,
• 3:07
  just like me at work after one hour
• 3:09
  in.
• 3:12
  I can relate.
• 3:14
  You had one of those meetings today.
• 3:18
  We get like,
• 3:19
  it's an hour and a half meeting.
• 3:20
  We get forty minutes in and we're done
• 3:23
  with the topics that we were there to
• 3:24
  discuss.
• 3:26
  And then the the group,
• 3:28
  half of the group have a meeting on
• 3:29
  Tuesday and they decide,
• 3:32
  let's start talking about the Tuesday
• 3:33
  meeting,
• 3:34
  even though half of the people here don't
• 3:36
  need to be in the Tuesday meeting.
• 3:39
  But you have a Tuesday meeting to have
• 3:41
  this discussion.
• 3:44
  Why are we having the Tuesday meeting on
• 3:46
  a Friday?
• 3:48
  They don't know.
• 3:54
  So, so bad.
• 3:58
  So, so bad.
• 3:59
  Holy crap.
• 4:02
  Jesus.
• 4:03
  Lunch is on me.
• 4:05
  Thirty dollars, man.
• 4:08
  You are the bomb, Sean.
• 4:10
  Appreciate you, Sean.
• 4:12
  And I just went back to nineteen eighty
• 4:14
  five to say she's or I think it's
• 4:17
  a he.
• 4:19
  He Sean.
• 4:22
  I mean, that's spelled like he Sean.
• 4:24
  He Sean.
• 4:28
  A John George can't hear.
• 4:29
  That's what happens when you get old.
• 4:31
  Yeah.
• 4:34
  Turn it,
• 4:35
  turn it here and it up there, John.
• 4:39
  In addition to that,
• 4:40
  we have a new member.
• 4:42
  Dr.
• 4:42
  Matt Murphy is now a member of our
• 4:45
  YouTube channel.
• 4:47
  And you know what that got Matt Murphy?
• 4:49
  Access to Hattie Canio behind the scenes.
• 4:51
  Which I watched this morning again.
• 4:53
  Well, the second part of it.
• 4:55
  And dude, good job.
• 4:58
  Thanks.
• 4:59
  Proud of it.
• 5:00
  I'm really... You should be.
• 5:02
  When you're in the battle of, like,
• 5:05
  trying to get it together, like,
• 5:07
  you miss pieces of it.
• 5:09
  And then when I went back and watched
• 5:10
  it, I was really proud of it.
• 5:13
  And now I've just got to finish it
• 5:15
  up.
• 5:16
  But it is.
• 5:19
  It's Hishon now, just like Train.
• 5:23
  Oh, just like Train Olive.
• 5:27
  He's showing and train up.
• 5:28
  Um, speaking of train olive winter,
• 5:31
  how tall are you?
• 5:32
  Because I looked at your Instagram all
• 5:35
  week.
• 5:36
  Yeah.
• 5:36
  We've been talking about it all week and
• 5:37
  you haven't been here.
• 5:38
  So I say you're like seven and a
• 5:41
  half feet tall.
• 5:46
  And literally Corey's like, well,
• 5:48
  look at the distance between the bar and
• 5:49
  the floor and her ankles in the floor.
• 5:52
  And you can tell.
• 5:55
  Yeah.
• 5:56
  Most people may set up for a clean
• 5:58
  or a snatch,
• 5:58
  like the bar is somewhere around mid-shin.
• 6:00
  The bar is around her ankles.
• 6:02
  I've never seen anything like it.
• 6:06
  Yeah.
• 6:06
  Yeah, so I'm guessing five, six.
• 6:10
  You're guessing seven, one?
• 6:12
  At least.
• 6:13
  At the bare minimum.
• 6:17
  And her family,
• 6:18
  the family picture she had on there,
• 6:19
  it looked like the entire family was tall.
• 6:21
  So that didn't do me any favors
• 6:23
  whatsoever.
• 6:27
  Um, you did great Scott.
• 6:29
  It wasn't easy to get footage last year
• 6:30
  either.
• 6:31
  Yeah.
• 6:31
  But I think the best episode is going
• 6:33
  to be the last episode.
• 6:35
  Um,
• 6:35
  the talks after the games are over between
• 6:38
  with Tristan and Hattie were awesome.
• 6:41
  Um,
• 6:42
  and so I think that's going to be
• 6:44
  the best one of the bunch,
• 6:46
  but you have to do it in succession,
• 6:49
  right?
• 6:50
  Nailed it.
• 6:51
  Nailed it.
• 6:52
  Good job, dude.
• 6:55
  Nailed it.
• 6:56
  Oh,
• 6:57
  She's just long limit.
• 6:59
  She's the opposite of what I am.
• 7:00
  I'm all torso and Hobbit legs and Hobbit
• 7:03
  arms.
• 7:04
  And she's apparently no torso and all
• 7:06
  limbs.
• 7:07
  That's what it looks like.
• 7:08
  I mean, good Lord.
• 7:09
  But she's taller than she is.
• 7:12
  I'm an inch shy of six foot tall.
• 7:13
  I'm two foot of legs,
• 7:14
  four foot of body.
• 7:16
  And my legs are like T-Rex and arms.
• 7:21
  Same.
• 7:21
  I got the same problem.
• 7:23
  It's ridiculous.
• 7:24
  I am essentially Mr. Potato Head.
• 7:30
  God bless.
• 7:33
  I'm Mark Phillips.
• 7:34
  I work out with a six, eleven guy.
• 7:36
  I can't even believe that we had a
• 7:38
  we had a six,
• 7:38
  eight guy in our gym.
• 7:41
  We had to move the one set of
• 7:43
  pull up bars all the way to the
• 7:45
  top of the rig for him to just
• 7:47
  be able to do it.
• 7:50
  I can't imagine six.
• 7:51
  I mean, it's only three more inches, but.
• 7:53
  We have a six,
• 7:54
  eight dude for a while.
• 7:56
  He actually lives down literally down the
• 7:58
  street from me.
• 7:59
  And we have two bars set up that
• 8:02
  are super high,
• 8:03
  but they're also right where a support
• 8:06
  beam is for the roof.
• 8:07
  So it's like four feet off of it.
• 8:09
  It's plenty of room,
• 8:10
  but it doesn't look like it.
• 8:11
  Like if you look at it, you're like,
• 8:12
  Ooh,
• 8:12
  I don't want to get up on that
• 8:13
  one, but I still want to use it.
• 8:17
  Yeah.
• 8:17
  We, we have a couple,
• 8:18
  we had a couple of jackasses in the
• 8:19
  gym at the time who would get a
• 8:21
  box out to do pull-ups on his bar.
• 8:24
  Yeah.
• 8:25
  Just to be jackasses.
• 8:29
  Uh, one hundred percent, no torso at all.
• 8:31
  See, I mean,
• 8:31
  I am the inversion or the negative of
• 8:35
  winter.
• 8:39
  I am all torso, nothing else.
• 8:45
  I'm a midget with long legs and short
• 8:46
  torso.
• 8:48
  Vicky's another one.
• 8:49
  It's, it's a,
• 8:49
  it's an optical illusion because she told
• 8:51
  me how tall she was.
• 8:52
  I was like, dude,
• 8:53
  there's no way you're that short.
• 8:54
  And she was like, no, I really am.
• 8:56
  Cause she looks normal size.
• 8:57
  Like I thought she was taller than me.
• 9:01
  See, I'm the shortest in my family though.
• 9:03
  My brother is six, four.
• 9:07
  Yeah.
• 9:08
  Um, so let me ask you this.
• 9:11
  What's the longest it's ever taken you to
• 9:14
  do an overhead squat?
• 9:18
  Just one.
• 9:19
  Oh, just one.
• 9:20
  I mean, probably about a second.
• 9:23
  Maybe a second and a half tops.
• 9:25
  Maybe with a couple hundred pounds on the
• 9:26
  bar.
• 9:27
  A couple hundred pounds on the bar.
• 9:29
  Yeah, probably about two seconds.
• 9:30
  Yeah.
• 9:32
  Sure.
• 9:33
  So how does Jay Crouch get penalized a
• 9:36
  minute?
• 9:37
  It definitely did not take me sixty
• 9:38
  seconds.
• 9:40
  I've done tempo overhead squats that don't
• 9:45
  take that long.
• 9:47
  six seconds down, six seconds up.
• 9:49
  That's, I, I really, really, really,
• 9:55
  really,
• 9:56
  I'm going to say it one more time.
• 9:57
  Like my six year old,
• 9:58
  my eight year old really, really,
• 10:00
  really want to know what the logic is
• 10:02
  behind it.
• 10:04
  I, the first time I ever did two,
• 10:05
  twenty five overhead squat,
• 10:07
  it felt like it took me twenty five
• 10:09
  seconds.
• 10:10
  Correct.
• 10:12
  But it probably only took me eight to
• 10:13
  ten.
• 10:15
  Um,
• 10:16
  But a minute is just ridiculous.
• 10:19
  Dude, that is insane.
• 10:22
  That's insane.
• 10:22
  And it's enough to drop him from first
• 10:26
  overall to thirty eighth overall.
• 10:30
  Because it's a minute.
• 10:32
  They said,
• 10:32
  I think my my max overhead squats like
• 10:36
  two sixty five or two eighty five or
• 10:37
  something like that.
• 10:39
  And it don't take that long.
• 10:42
  Like, staying stable, all the way down,
• 10:45
  all the way back up.
• 10:46
  Once it gets locked back out,
• 10:47
  I'm cutting it loose.
• 10:49
  Bruh, I mean, one, it's one.
• 10:53
  I don't understand it.
• 10:55
  I've made phone calls shorter than that.
• 10:57
  Yeah, absolutely.
• 11:00
  Absolutely, I have.
• 11:01
  I tried to keep my phone calls shorter
• 11:02
  than that.
• 11:06
  that penalty was crazy ridiculous from
• 11:07
  shanna uh i could see a fifteen second
• 11:10
  penalty for a don't game the system type
• 11:12
  penalty but one minute is nuts yeah uh
• 11:16
  vicky says i think the penalties are
• 11:17
  assessed at a set number of seconds per
• 11:20
  rep flat for everybody at least that's how
• 11:22
  it was last year i judged a long
• 11:26
  time vicky i do not think that is
• 11:30
  correct
• 11:34
  I think they factor in when during the
• 11:36
  workout it happened, what happened,
• 11:41
  and I honestly think it's kind of
• 11:43
  arbitrary.
• 11:44
  That's because it is.
• 11:49
  According to last year's rule book,
• 11:51
  for semis anyway,
• 11:53
  your workout actually stopped at the rep
• 11:55
  if you missed a rep.
• 11:58
  Now, I've heard that too.
• 11:59
  And even in the open,
• 12:01
  like if you missed the second rep and
• 12:07
  you skipped it,
• 12:10
  you got one rep as your workout score.
• 12:14
  So they could have been harsh like that.
• 12:17
  That would have at least made sense to
• 12:19
  me.
• 12:21
  That you skip this rep during this round,
• 12:24
  that's where your workout stops.
• 12:25
  That makes sense.
• 12:26
  A minute makes no sense.
• 12:29
  No,
• 12:29
  it would have been a whole lot more
• 12:30
  sense if they just gave him a number
• 12:31
  score and actually it would have been a
• 12:33
  worse penalty and then said, oh,
• 12:34
  I'm in it.
• 12:35
  Yeah.
• 12:38
  Yeah, what Mark said.
• 12:42
  That logic at least makes people look,
• 12:45
  people really look at their videos.
• 12:47
  It still confounds me that if you're an
• 12:50
  elite athlete and you're submitting
• 12:52
  videos,
• 12:53
  that you're not double checking everything
• 12:57
  before you submit.
• 13:02
  I didn't even have to submit videos,
• 13:03
  and I double-checked every single one of
• 13:05
  my videos before I uploaded them to
• 13:07
  YouTube to make sure that I was at
• 13:10
  the right numbers and that my judge can
• 13:13
  count.
• 13:13
  I mean, like, it's silly not to.
• 13:17
  I don't understand.
• 13:18
  Like, you're going to the games.
• 13:19
  You are a games athlete.
• 13:21
  You are,
• 13:21
  as much as we talk about it,
• 13:23
  a professional athlete at this point
• 13:25
  trying to get to the pinnacle of the
• 13:26
  sport.
• 13:27
  Why are you not going?
• 13:30
  Yeah, I was nineteen, not twenty.
• 13:33
  And how much money is that going to
• 13:35
  cost you if you lose that?
• 13:40
  Right?
• 13:41
  Like that should be as important as
• 13:44
  anything else you do in your career.
• 13:47
  And he's with Proven.
• 13:48
  They have enough people under that
• 13:51
  umbrella to take a look at it and
• 13:53
  count everything.
• 13:56
  Hey, did anybody check Jay Eagles?
• 14:01
  How hard is that?
• 14:03
  He's got a coach.
• 14:04
  Unproven or TTT or Mayhem or HWPO or
• 14:10
  anything.
• 14:11
  I have a person dedicated to just bring
• 14:14
  him in on a contract basis.
• 14:16
  Hey, before we submit our videos,
• 14:18
  make sure you count all the reps.
• 14:22
  It is open slash semi-quarters, semis,
• 14:24
  whatever, blah, blah, blah season.
• 14:26
  I'm going to pay you X amount of
• 14:28
  dollars.
• 14:29
  And your only job is to make sure
• 14:32
  that every single rep is in every one
• 14:34
  of these videos.
• 14:36
  So get your pen and paper out.
• 14:38
  Make sure your phone is charged.
• 14:40
  Load them to your laptop,
• 14:41
  whatever the case may be.
• 14:42
  And we're going to go through them one
• 14:44
  by one.
• 14:45
  Let me know when you're done.
• 14:47
  Shanna says there was a precedent at the
• 14:49
  games when Kara missed the lunge and was
• 14:53
  assessed only seconds.
• 14:54
  I would give you a precedent was set
• 14:57
  if there was some consistency to that
• 14:59
  after.
• 14:59
  Yeah, because it hasn't been.
• 15:03
  It hasn't been.
• 15:04
  The Matt Frazier penalty on the drop
• 15:06
  sandbag made no sense.
• 15:12
  None of it has made sense.
• 15:16
  I'm still,
• 15:17
  I still don't understand the Matt Fraser
• 15:18
  one.
• 15:22
  Uh,
• 15:22
  Vicki has offered to watch people's videos
• 15:24
  as a second look.
• 15:25
  Vicki asked me to offer to watch mine.
• 15:29
  I told her I appreciate it,
• 15:30
  but I got it covered.
• 15:34
  So anyway, I just, I thought that was,
• 15:37
  that was wild.
• 15:40
  Because it is.
• 15:45
  You know what is consistent?
• 15:47
  Thirdsy.
• 15:49
  I was going to say your sleep whenever
• 15:50
  you take Thursday every night, but yeah,
• 15:52
  that's easy.
• 15:53
  Yeah.
• 15:54
  But you know what's not consistent?
• 15:58
  Having salted caramel chocolate in stock.
• 16:04
  They are only putting out a thousand units
• 16:06
  of salted caramel chocolate and then
• 16:10
  they're gone.
• 16:12
  People have been demanding it.
• 16:13
  You people in the chat have been demanding
• 16:15
  it.
• 16:15
  It is here for a very limited time.
• 16:18
  You can still get fifteen percent off by
• 16:23
  using code Jazzy at checkout.
• 16:27
  Scott gave a giveaway which at the time
• 16:31
  was probably the last bag on the face
• 16:33
  of the planet.
• 16:36
  which is how much it was in demand.
• 16:38
  And I had like,
• 16:39
  eighty people sign up for that drawing.
• 16:43
  Yeah.
• 16:44
  And Natalie Lemieux won it.
• 16:45
  God bless her.
• 16:48
  But you can get it now at fifteen
• 16:50
  percent off thirdsy.com backslash Jazzy.
• 16:52
  Jazzy.
• 16:55
  And you get fifteen percent off that
• 16:57
  order.
• 16:57
  A couple people in the chat have ordered
• 16:59
  because I get notice.
• 17:00
  Nice.
• 17:02
  When that happens.
• 17:03
  but I know a couple of other of
• 17:05
  you have been demanding that.
• 17:10
  Where yet?
• 17:11
  Where yet?
• 17:12
  It's just like the masters community
• 17:14
  demanding in-person semis and then not
• 17:16
  signing up for them.
• 17:20
  Getting excited about it.
• 17:21
  Forward segue and a backward segue.
• 17:24
  I love it.
• 17:25
  I love it.
• 17:25
  I love it.
• 17:27
  I will say this.
• 17:28
  I was thinking about this this morning.
• 17:31
  Um,
• 17:33
  The further down the leaderboard they get,
• 17:35
  they start inviting people, right?
• 17:36
  Because they're all over the place right
• 17:38
  now.
• 17:38
  There's a dude,
• 17:39
  a friend of mine got invited.
• 17:41
  I don't want to put his business out
• 17:42
  there, but no names, no names.
• 17:44
  No,
• 17:44
  but he was fairly low on the leaderboard,
• 17:46
  right?
• 17:47
  He got an invite, accepted it and whatnot.
• 17:49
  The people that are actually accepting
• 17:51
  them at this point who maybe didn't do
• 17:53
  so great in quarterfinals, but are,
• 17:56
  you know,
• 17:57
  pretty legitimate athletes are all the
• 17:59
  same people I compete with on a regular
• 18:01
  basis.
• 18:02
  By and large.
• 18:03
  There's a couple names on there that I've
• 18:05
  seen that have popped up,
• 18:07
  that have registered and whatnot that I
• 18:08
  don't recognize.
• 18:10
  But by and large,
• 18:12
  it is all the same people I see
• 18:14
  at Legends and at Monster Games and at
• 18:17
  MFC and at all of the things that
• 18:20
  I've been to, competed at.
• 18:22
  And those are the people who are accepting
• 18:25
  them to compete in person.
• 18:28
  That's been my observation as far as this
• 18:30
  morning is concerned and talking to other
• 18:31
  people.
• 18:33
  trade olive thirds he got me good i
• 18:35
  ordered some and then they said they had
• 18:37
  salted caramel back so i ordered twice
• 18:39
  back to back uh cows and crossfit my
• 18:46
  wife accepted magic city yesterday and got
• 18:48
  an invite to legends today i got an
• 18:51
  invite to legends yesterday so and it's
• 18:55
  not just masters athletes no if you're if
• 18:58
  you're watching there are people getting
• 19:00
  invites in the elite division
• 19:04
  I saw one today.
• 19:05
  The guy who made the games in XIX
• 19:08
  has not been back.
• 19:11
  Only seven years ago.
• 19:12
  His career was over,
• 19:14
  and now he's going to a semifinal.
• 19:17
  It's only seven years ago, Scott.
• 19:18
  I mean, what's the deal?
• 19:19
  I don't understand what you're making at
• 19:22
  this point.
• 19:25
  That's wild.
• 19:29
  It's a mess.
• 19:30
  It's a mess because the season is in
• 19:32
  such a way that people have choices.
• 19:39
  I don't know.
• 19:44
  I think too many people are relying on
• 19:47
  the online semifinal.
• 19:51
  I think it's a comfortability thing.
• 19:52
  Interesting.
• 19:54
  really really do like oh i can do
• 19:57
  this online semi i already have two judges
• 20:01
  same two judges i used last year it's
• 20:03
  in the comfort of my gym i don't
• 20:04
  have to be on the floor in front
• 20:06
  of people i can just do them and
• 20:07
  then kind of knock them out and then
• 20:09
  and they're taking ten like in my age
• 20:11
  group they're taking ten from online
• 20:14
  they're only taking the top two from each
• 20:15
  of the in-person ones so i got a
• 20:18
  much better chance you know as far as
• 20:20
  you get you won't play the numbers as
• 20:21
  far as that's concerned um
• 20:25
  But the numbers lie.
• 20:26
  The numbers absolutely lie.
• 20:28
  The numbers lie because, yeah,
• 20:30
  they may take ten,
• 20:31
  but if the top ten in your age
• 20:34
  group all decide,
• 20:35
  I don't want to go in person,
• 20:39
  you may actually have a better shot in
• 20:41
  person.
• 20:43
  Well, it's the drum I keep beating.
• 20:46
  It's that for those of us who are
• 20:47
  actually trying to make the games at some
• 20:50
  point, when you get there,
• 20:52
  you want to have as much competition,
• 20:54
  live,
• 20:54
  in-person competition experience as you
• 20:56
  possibly can.
• 20:57
  So why, if you have the opportunity,
• 20:59
  would you not go?
• 21:00
  I'm sorry if you can't afford it.
• 21:01
  I understand that.
• 21:02
  That's one thing.
• 21:04
  That's a completely different argument.
• 21:06
  Most of those people who are trying to
• 21:08
  get there do two to three live
• 21:11
  competitions against the best competition
• 21:12
  they can find per year.
• 21:14
  Right.
• 21:15
  Where they're traveling here, here,
• 21:17
  there and yonder.
• 21:18
  I say two to three.
• 21:19
  I do one to two.
• 21:21
  And then as many of the local ones
• 21:22
  that I can to get just on the
• 21:24
  floor experience.
• 21:25
  So you know how to handle things better.
• 21:28
  You know, if something comes up,
• 21:29
  you get no rep for something you expected.
• 21:32
  Or what does this feel like?
• 21:33
  Or you got to go when you got
• 21:35
  to go.
• 21:35
  Like, yeah.
• 21:36
  all of the things that are involved in
• 21:37
  live competition that you don't get in the
• 21:40
  comfort of your gym where it's like, well,
• 21:42
  I'm going to do this one in an
• 21:43
  hour and I'm going to take a little
• 21:44
  nap, a nappy nap beforehand.
• 21:46
  You don't get that kind of stuff for
• 21:47
  live competition.
• 21:48
  You got to go on their schedule,
• 21:49
  not yours.
• 21:50
  And FYI,
• 21:51
  if you make it to the games,
• 21:53
  you are not on anybody else's schedule,
• 21:55
  but the people who are running the games.
• 22:00
  So,
• 22:03
  CJ and Claire talked about it a lot
• 22:04
  this morning,
• 22:04
  so I don't want to rehash everything.
• 22:07
  A whole first hour.
• 22:09
  But what I'll say is,
• 22:12
  I don't think Masters are getting
• 22:13
  in-person semis again.
• 22:15
  No,
• 22:15
  that's another reason why I'm glad I'm
• 22:17
  going.
• 22:18
  I think they're going to say,
• 22:21
  we tried it.
• 22:23
  Nobody showed up.
• 22:25
  It is what it is.
• 22:27
  My solution to this is...
• 22:30
  I think that we treat the masters
• 22:32
  community as one big lump of people.
• 22:36
  And there are differences.
• 22:38
  There are differences in the younger age
• 22:40
  groups to the older age groups in the
• 22:42
  participation levels.
• 22:44
  If you are in thirty five to forty
• 22:48
  nine, you are fifty percent of the open.
• 22:51
  Yeah.
• 22:54
  That group should be treated a little bit
• 22:57
  differently than the older groups until
• 23:00
  the older groups can show that they're
• 23:03
  going to have the participation numbers to
• 23:06
  warrant more.
• 23:07
  Right.
• 23:10
  And as much as I would like to
• 23:13
  have in-person for everybody and everybody
• 23:16
  kumbaya and do whatever,
• 23:18
  you have to do what's practical and what
• 23:20
  makes business sense.
• 23:22
  And even if they just did thirty five
• 23:24
  to thirty nine one year to see what
• 23:27
  the participation was in there and then
• 23:29
  maybe grow out to the next one and
• 23:31
  then to the next one,
• 23:33
  instead of just going,
• 23:35
  let's throw all this spaghetti at the wall
• 23:37
  and see what we get for participation.
• 23:41
  And then you get this.
• 23:42
  You get this cluster chaos.
• 23:49
  Give me a second.
• 23:49
  I'm counting to see how many.
• 23:55
  Vicky, the system is crazy, though.
• 23:57
  I qualified and paid for the French
• 23:58
  Throwdown back in January,
• 24:00
  so I'm going regardless of whether I
• 24:02
  qualify online or not.
• 24:05
  So I just went to look at legends
• 24:06
  leaderboard.
• 24:07
  It's thirty five thirty nine.
• 24:08
  I only got thirteen people in in.
• 24:12
  On the men's side,
• 24:13
  I didn't look at the women's side.
• 24:17
  That's the only way that we have.
• 24:19
  I think that's an option to make smaller
• 24:21
  sizes of these fields.
• 24:23
  But you have to remember the event
• 24:25
  organizers in the United States think
• 24:27
  there's only certain ways to make money.
• 24:29
  And one of those are the entry fees
• 24:31
  of the participants.
• 24:33
  So that's why they have forty two people
• 24:36
  in the field,
• 24:36
  because that makes them X number of
• 24:38
  dollars in saying,
• 24:39
  let's put on the best competition and then
• 24:42
  maybe we get more sponsors,
• 24:44
  we get more vendors,
• 24:45
  we get more spectators.
• 24:50
  It's a lot.
• 24:51
  It's also,
• 24:53
  I was in that master's text group that
• 24:55
  I got put into and we were talking
• 24:57
  about it yesterday.
• 25:00
  There's probably going to be some people
• 25:01
  who are looking at it going and getting...
• 25:03
  I got an invite to Legends and Magic
• 25:05
  City.
• 25:06
  I declined my Legends one so they could
• 25:08
  move on.
• 25:09
  But there's people who are probably
• 25:10
  looking at it going,
• 25:11
  I can go to Legends.
• 25:12
  Next week, I can go to Magic City.
• 25:14
  And then it's the online and do all
• 25:16
  of them.
• 25:17
  It's few and far between.
• 25:18
  It's not a really, really good idea.
• 25:21
  But they also put them that close
• 25:22
  together.
• 25:24
  I guess...
• 25:25
  They were like,
• 25:26
  what weekend do you want to go?
• 25:28
  We're going to go this weekend.
• 25:28
  All right, cool.
• 25:29
  What weekend do you want to go?
• 25:30
  We're going to go this weekend.
• 25:31
  That's the following weekend.
• 25:32
  And then they put online smack dab in
• 25:35
  the middle.
• 25:36
  Terrible idea.
• 25:38
  Terrible idea.
• 25:38
  There's still three of them after that.
• 25:44
  The structure doesn't make sense.
• 25:46
  The timing, in my opinion,
• 25:48
  doesn't make sense.
• 25:49
  I don't understand it.
• 25:51
  I really, really don't.
• 25:53
  There are a ton of mistakes with all
• 25:54
  this.
• 25:57
  I wanted to talk about this too,
• 25:58
  and Andrew kind of gets me there with
• 26:01
  the shit show started when they got rid
• 26:02
  of regionals.
• 26:05
  I get they were expensive,
• 26:06
  but the system was working.
• 26:09
  Here's what I think should happen.
• 26:12
  Regionals did work.
• 26:14
  let the third party entities run the
• 26:18
  events just like they do today.
• 26:20
  You have legends and Delmar,
• 26:23
  you have mayhem, you have syndicate crown.
• 26:26
  You could do a regional thing and still
• 26:28
  use third parties to run them.
• 26:33
  Yeah.
• 26:33
  Last night I was watching the girls on
• 26:35
  filtered and they were talking about how
• 26:39
  And it was mostly fee like that.
• 26:42
  She likes the new system because if you're
• 26:44
  hurt on this weekend,
• 26:46
  you can then go to another one.
• 26:48
  You have multiple opportunities, blah,
• 26:49
  blah, blah, nowhere in sports.
• 26:52
  Do you get a second shot at the
• 26:54
  playoffs?
• 26:55
  No.
• 26:57
  And every team has to be healthy and
• 27:00
  like ask,
• 27:02
  The hated Green Bay Packers.
• 27:04
  If they would have had a better shot
• 27:05
  in the playoffs with Micah Parsons,
• 27:07
  had he not blown out his knee two
• 27:09
  weeks before the playoffs.
• 27:12
  But that's sports.
• 27:14
  You have to next man up,
• 27:16
  person steps up, and you move on.
• 27:22
  You should have one shot at each round
• 27:25
  of the playoffs.
• 27:26
  One opportunity.
• 27:27
  Yeah.
• 27:28
  To get everything you ever wanted.
• 27:34
  No, I'm with it.
• 27:37
  I'm absolutely with it.
• 27:38
  That actually creates more drama.
• 27:40
  Sure.
• 27:42
  It creates a storyline that you can
• 27:46
  follow.
• 27:47
  We have lost all of that.
• 27:50
  There is no mayhem.
• 27:52
  There's no drama.
• 27:53
  Because if you don't qualify there,
• 27:55
  you got five more shots.
• 27:56
  It...
• 28:04
  You go back and look at the old
• 28:05
  road to the game stuff,
• 28:06
  and Rich has got the flu.
• 28:10
  He's run, what,
• 28:11
  a hundred and five degree fever or some
• 28:13
  crazy stuff like that,
• 28:15
  and manages to pull through and qualify.
• 28:18
  And if he doesn't, then he doesn't.
• 28:19
  And he's aware of that.
• 28:20
  You know what the rules are going in.
• 28:22
  It's not just, oh,
• 28:23
  you didn't make it this time?
• 28:24
  Okay, that's okay.
• 28:25
  That's okay.
• 28:26
  We can just try again for the next
• 28:28
  one.
• 28:29
  I was there at that regional that Rich
• 28:32
  had the flu.
• 28:34
  He was hacking up lungs in the warm-up
• 28:37
  area and still went out and performed.
• 28:40
  Some of the greatest games in sports
• 28:42
  history are the Michael Jordan flu game,
• 28:48
  the Walter Payton flu game.
• 28:51
  All of these like famous games where that
• 28:53
  adds more drama.
• 28:55
  Come on, people.
• 28:57
  And it's closer to real life.
• 29:02
  Right?
• 29:02
  Like, stuff happens, dude.
• 29:04
  Hey, you didn't make it this year?
• 29:05
  Tough, man.
• 29:06
  That sucks.
• 29:07
  Try not to get sick next year whenever
• 29:09
  regionals are.
• 29:10
  I don't know what to tell you.
• 29:13
  If you'd have broke your leg during
• 29:14
  fucking regionals,
• 29:15
  it would have been the same thing.
• 29:17
  Right?
• 29:18
  Well,
• 29:18
  I can't go because I have a broken
• 29:20
  leg.
• 29:21
  Or if you tore a pec during regionals.
• 29:23
  Because they made you do a ridiculous
• 29:26
  workout.
• 29:27
  Three thousand ring dips.
• 29:28
  Yeah.
• 29:30
  Uh, Vicki says real talk.
• 29:31
  What's the possibility that masters games
• 29:33
  entirely.
• 29:35
  I don't think it's a big possibility,
• 29:37
  Vicki, because of what I said earlier,
• 29:40
  thirty five to forty nine are half the
• 29:43
  open registrations, half the cash.
• 29:47
  If you take away the carrot,
• 29:49
  you lose all of that money.
• 29:55
  because you want to see open participation
• 29:57
  drop like a rock get rid of the
• 29:59
  masters games um oh there is plenty of
• 30:09
  drama with mayhem but none of it has
• 30:11
  to do with the actual competition that's a
• 30:17
  fair take there tristan
• 30:24
  Having regionals also doesn't stop other
• 30:26
  events from happening during the same
• 30:27
  time.
• 30:28
  Don't make it past regionals.
• 30:30
  Head to another event that is outside the
• 30:31
  game season to make more money.
• 30:35
  Or do the last qualifier.
• 30:38
  That's why it's there.
• 30:42
  I mean, how hard is that?
• 30:45
  I'm a little behind, but thanks, Scott,
• 30:46
  for bringing up the Parsons injury and
• 30:48
  making me cry again.
• 30:50
  My life is all about making Packers fans
• 30:52
  cry.
• 30:54
  If I can do that every day,
• 30:55
  I'm having a good day.
• 31:02
  I do think, like,
• 31:04
  if you want to do the I got
• 31:07
  hurt here,
• 31:08
  you could still have a last chance
• 31:10
  qualifier.
• 31:11
  Sure.
• 31:11
  It should be for one or two spots
• 31:14
  most.
• 31:18
  You know,
• 31:18
  we had games without Sam Briggs because
• 31:20
  she couldn't hand Sam walk.
• 31:21
  We had...
• 31:24
  injuries of the Peck that took Dan Bailey
• 31:28
  out, Sam Dancer out, all the...
• 31:30
  Katrin didn't make it one year.
• 31:33
  Because she couldn't climb a rope.
• 31:34
  Because she couldn't climb a rope.
• 31:36
  Josh Bridges couldn't make it one year.
• 31:38
  I mean... And why can we name those?
• 31:41
  Because it was dramatic and it was a
• 31:43
  storyline and it gave everybody something
• 31:46
  to talk about.
• 31:47
  And now you can remember all that stuff
• 31:50
  because it meant more.
• 31:53
  You always hear like in college football,
• 31:56
  the playoffs going to ruin college
• 31:57
  football because the games won't mean as
• 31:59
  much.
• 32:03
  Thank God college football hasn't got to
• 32:05
  that point.
• 32:06
  But in college basketball,
• 32:08
  because sixty eight teams make the
• 32:10
  tournament.
• 32:12
  The regular season doesn't matter and
• 32:14
  ratings dropped.
• 32:16
  We have oversaturated the playoff system
• 32:20
  in CrossFit to a point where it just
• 32:23
  doesn't matter until you get to the games.
• 32:27
  A hundred percent.
• 32:30
  It's the, it's the, it's that, well,
• 32:32
  we already know who's going to make it
• 32:33
  to the games before we,
• 32:34
  before they get there because they got so
• 32:35
  many chances to make it and they can
• 32:36
  do, I mean,
• 32:37
  they can do the Luke Parker fricking
• 32:38
  victory tour like he did last year and
• 32:40
  just go to as many of them as
• 32:41
  you can.
• 32:44
  Until you finally qualify,
• 32:45
  which is exactly what he did.
• 32:49
  Except the last part, he didn't qualify.
• 32:51
  Except the last part, but still.
• 32:53
  He had clearly the funds and the
• 32:57
  opportunity and just,
• 32:58
  I'm going to go to this one,
• 33:00
  and I'm going to go to this one,
• 33:00
  and I'm going to go to this one,
• 33:01
  and I'm going to go to this one.
• 33:02
  And when that doesn't happen,
• 33:03
  I'm going to try the online qualifier.
• 33:04
  And when that doesn't happen,
• 33:07
  it's to the point of ridiculousness.
• 33:11
  Right?
• 33:15
  Like,
• 33:15
  I don't want to get off on too
• 33:16
  much of a rant about it.
• 33:19
  We somehow oversaturated it and made it
• 33:21
  more exclusive and disinteresting.
• 33:24
  Right?
• 33:24
  Because you don't have the person coming
• 33:25
  out of nowhere anymore.
• 33:27
  It's all the same people at all the
• 33:29
  same events.
• 33:31
  It's, it is, it just,
• 33:37
  we need to take a breath.
• 33:40
  I think that the regional idea is the
• 33:43
  right idea.
• 33:44
  The execution of it could be modified to
• 33:48
  not like,
• 33:51
  when did we get to this point where
• 33:53
  regionals has to be inside?
• 33:55
  Right.
• 33:58
  You want to keep the cost down.
• 34:01
  Like we've said in the past,
• 34:02
  go to a high school, use the,
• 34:04
  the football field,
• 34:07
  use different aspects around there to do
• 34:09
  runs, to do your events outside.
• 34:12
  I saw a video this morning.
• 34:14
  Forever.
• 34:15
  I saw a video this morning of Rob
• 34:16
  Orlando doing it in a parking lot of
• 34:20
  an affiliate.
• 34:23
  Cause it was like three,
• 34:25
  three clean and jerks or something like
• 34:26
  that.
• 34:26
  And it was wondering if he could do
• 34:27
  three hundred and he did all three of
• 34:29
  them.
• 34:30
  And I was in a parking lot of
• 34:31
  an affiliate.
• 34:31
  I don't know if that was sectional,
• 34:33
  if that was regionals, but whatever.
• 34:35
  It's the same type deal.
• 34:37
  Does not have to be... Yeah.
• 34:41
  There's so many qualifiers that I'm tuned
• 34:44
  out.
• 34:45
  I'm basically just waiting for the games
• 34:47
  now.
• 34:50
  Those school lunchrooms are available.
• 34:54
  Yeah.
• 34:55
  I don't think lunchrooms work.
• 35:01
  Not as well as you'd expect.
• 35:02
  How about that?
• 35:03
  But I do like the idea of
• 35:06
  A football field.
• 35:08
  Yeah.
• 35:09
  You got a track.
• 35:10
  You got a field.
• 35:11
  Put up a rig.
• 35:13
  They did it at Granite Games.
• 35:14
  They put the rig on the turf.
• 35:17
  Nobody was bitching about having to do it
• 35:19
  outside,
• 35:20
  except for those getting drug off from
• 35:22
  heat stroke the one year.
• 35:25
  I mean, where was it?
• 35:29
  Oh, shit, at the games.
• 35:31
  I mean, for the longest time,
• 35:32
  there was an outside portion.
• 35:34
  There's a rig outside.
• 35:36
  a rig and a big ass turf field
• 35:38
  or grass field or whatever the case may
• 35:40
  be.
• 35:41
  And it was all outside and it was
• 35:42
  fun to watch.
• 35:45
  I mean, they did fricking, uh,
• 35:47
  they did the, uh, not the standard.
• 35:49
  Good Lord.
• 35:52
  Uh,
• 35:52
  Jay Birch says the first TFX was held
• 35:54
  in the parking lot.
• 35:54
  From my understanding, Jay Birch,
• 35:56
  the last TFX I was at two of
• 35:58
  the three venues at the location were in
• 36:02
  the parking lot.
• 36:02
  There you go.
• 36:08
  North York was a parking lot at the
• 36:10
  games.
• 36:11
  That's what I'm saying.
• 36:14
  It's on one of the documentaries where
• 36:16
  Rogue basically made the obstacle course,
• 36:20
  the O course, outside.
• 36:23
  This was a parking lot twenty-four hours
• 36:24
  ago.
• 36:28
  TFX is a great example.
• 36:29
  Here it is.
• 36:30
  Now, Tristan...
• 36:32
  Follow me here.
• 36:33
  It is a great example because you can
• 36:35
  do CrossFit anywhere.
• 36:38
  We don't, if it's too expensive,
• 36:42
  the only answer is not to shut it
• 36:45
  all down and do something different.
• 36:47
  Find ways to make it affordable until you
• 36:51
  grow the crowds to a level where it
• 36:54
  warrants
• 37:01
  right but yeah and the granite games in
• 37:04
  minneapolis at the vikings practice
• 37:07
  facility was epic epic and outdoors you
• 37:13
  could do so many things there flip sleds
• 37:16
  and running and the rig was there it
• 37:21
  it was freaking awesome i remember
• 37:23
  watching it it looked fantastic
• 37:28
  Like insanely cheap.
• 37:29
  You could do it insanely cheap until you
• 37:31
  get the crowds.
• 37:33
  Then you get the crowds.
• 37:35
  Then you can start investing little by
• 37:37
  little into it and growing.
• 37:41
  We went from zero to a hundred and
• 37:43
  we weren't ready.
• 37:45
  Look at... Oh, goodness.
• 37:50
  And you can sell sausages to make extra
• 37:54
  money in the parking lot.
• 37:56
  So, Waterpalooza.
• 37:59
  Waterpalooza was everybody,
• 38:01
  I've never been,
• 38:02
  but every report I've ever had was there
• 38:04
  people on top of people on top of
• 38:05
  people on top of people and then they
• 38:07
  finally moved it.
• 38:08
  And you can see it from this year,
• 38:10
  there was not people on top of people,
• 38:12
  but it was also spread out.
• 38:14
  And it was in a,
• 38:15
  from what I understand,
• 38:16
  a much bigger space.
• 38:19
  Probably the same amount of people showed
• 38:20
  up if I had to make a guess,
• 38:21
  because it's fairly popular,
• 38:23
  even with the rainstorms that are flying
• 38:26
  through there.
• 38:26
  But people are going to start filling it
• 38:29
  up again.
• 38:30
  Like, oh, no,
• 38:32
  there was room there this year.
• 38:34
  There was more stadiums.
• 38:35
  There was more seating.
• 38:36
  There was more parking.
• 38:37
  There was more everything.
• 38:38
  I think it's pretty good.
• 38:43
  pretty good plan that they have in place
• 38:45
  to naturally expand as needed as opposed
• 38:48
  to just let's put it in this hundred
• 38:50
  and fifty thousand seat arena and see what
• 38:52
  happens like that's not a good idea the
• 38:56
  water palooza downtown miami was the most
• 39:00
  insane crowds i've ever seen in my life
• 39:03
  it was bigger than the games i think
• 39:10
  i think they should have limited ticket
• 39:12
  sales
• 39:15
  on the weekends and kept the demand
• 39:20
  because the demand was there.
• 39:24
  And Tristan's right.
• 39:25
  It was like an EDM concert.
• 39:29
  And literally you could barely move in
• 39:31
  that place.
• 39:33
  And if you got a seat at a
• 39:34
  venue and you got up to pee,
• 39:36
  you lost your seat and you couldn't get
• 39:37
  back in.
• 39:38
  That's a good problem to have.
• 39:41
  It's a good problem to have.
• 39:45
  For organizers, it is.
• 39:48
  For organizers, for vendors,
• 39:50
  for everybody involved,
• 39:52
  aside from the person who lost their seat
• 39:53
  because they got up to pee.
• 39:56
  FYI,
• 39:56
  we here at Gladiator Media do not
• 39:57
  recommend peeing on yourself to make sure
• 39:59
  you keep your seat at Gladiator.
• 40:01
  Right.
• 40:01
  You may get some more elbow room, though,
• 40:03
  once you do.
• 40:04
  You could.
• 40:05
  You could.
• 40:06
  Although, if it's hot enough, well,
• 40:08
  I guess it ain't because it's usually in
• 40:09
  January.
• 40:10
  So, scratch that idea.
• 40:11
  January, February.
• 40:13
  Okay.
• 40:15
  And we all know the shit show that
• 40:17
  has been on the floor at Wadapalooza
• 40:19
  during those years.
• 40:21
  And the crowd still came.
• 40:24
  So this can be done.
• 40:26
  You just have to find the right venue,
• 40:29
  the right way to present it.
• 40:32
  And maybe we take a couple steps back
• 40:34
  to the grassroots that made CrossFit what
• 40:37
  it was and start growing it again in
• 40:42
  a scalable manner.
• 40:47
  just my two cents no i'm a fan
• 40:53
  because you can you can professionalize
• 40:59
  the sport
• 41:01
  And it gives more prize money for the
• 41:02
  athletes to do these events because we're
• 41:05
  not overspending on venues.
• 41:08
  We're not overspending on accoutrement for
• 41:12
  the venue.
• 41:13
  Like when I heard that Legends paid
• 41:17
  whatever they did for that huge ass
• 41:19
  Legends sign that was up against the one
• 41:23
  wall, just...
• 41:26
  And then you don't even stream it,
• 41:27
  so you're not getting any benefit of the
• 41:30
  advertisement of it anyway.
• 41:34
  We've got to be better about how we
• 41:36
  spend the money to put on this season.
• 41:39
  Bring back the drama and bring back a
• 41:44
  legit season.
• 41:47
  The first year I went to Legends,
• 41:49
  they were...
• 41:51
  very pushy about us wearing the shirts
• 41:55
  that they gave us right with the Legends
• 41:58
  logo on it on our names and whatnot
• 42:01
  and I was like is this being strained
• 42:04
  because if it's not then what difference
• 42:06
  does it make what we're wearing most of
• 42:08
  us are not gonna be wearing shirts by
• 42:09
  the time we get on the floor anyway
• 42:11
  so like what are we even having this
• 42:13
  discussion about
• 42:15
  Well,
• 42:15
  First Form just really wants to see him.
• 42:17
  They're here.
• 42:18
  They're going to see people walking around
• 42:20
  in them,
• 42:20
  but nobody else is going to other than
• 42:22
  the people that are here who are aware
• 42:25
  of the fact that this is the First
• 42:26
  Form Legends Championship.
• 42:30
  So what are we doing?
• 42:33
  What are we talking about?
• 42:35
  Yeah,
• 42:36
  I didn't want to rub salt in the
• 42:37
  wound, Shanna,
• 42:37
  but they bought the sign and didn't give
• 42:39
  away any prizes.
• 42:40
  No gift bag even.
• 42:41
  It's pretty thin this year.
• 42:46
  This was years ago.
• 42:48
  Yeah,
• 42:48
  it was pretty thin this year too as
• 42:49
  far as the swag bag was concerned.
• 42:53
  You make the sport better by making the
• 42:54
  affiliates better.
• 42:55
  What was apparent at the beginning was the
• 42:57
  sport was a reflection of the gyms.
• 42:59
  What I'll say, Jake,
• 43:00
  is I think this actually goes hand in
• 43:01
  hand.
• 43:03
  When the games were simpler and there was
• 43:06
  a lot of outdoor stuff,
• 43:09
  my affiliate did more outdoor stuff.
• 43:13
  We were lifting in the parking lot.
• 43:16
  Yeah.
• 43:16
  Yeah.
• 43:38
  And then when the affiliates follow,
• 43:41
  that will help the affiliates grow because
• 43:43
  you're running around neighborhoods again.
• 43:45
  You're running down the streets.
• 43:47
  You're not just stuck inside of four walls
• 43:50
  anymore.
• 43:54
  You won't see a bunch of maniacs running
• 43:55
  up and down the street,
• 43:56
  come down to Gonzales, Louisiana,
• 43:58
  South Philippe, doing it yesterday.
• 44:01
  And it was a nice day,
• 44:02
  so the workout we had was bike run
• 44:06
  intervals, and all our bikes were outside,
• 44:10
  right outside the door,
• 44:11
  and we were doing basically the entire
• 44:13
  workout outside.
• 44:14
  Good times.
• 44:17
  God, I hate shuttle runs so much.
• 44:20
  Same, Tristan.
• 44:24
  Not a fan at all.
• 44:28
  Exactly, Scott,
• 44:29
  because they were a reflection.
• 44:31
  The affiliates need to be affiliates
• 44:34
  again, not training camps.
• 44:40
  Lots of vacant Sears stores around the
• 44:42
  country with huge parking lots.
• 44:44
  Amen, brother.
• 44:45
  Sears and JCPenney, baby.
• 44:46
  Sears and JCPenney.
• 44:49
  When Matt Sousa was talking about the big
• 44:51
  idea and his CrossFit HQ,
• 44:55
  all I could see was an abandoned high
• 44:56
  school.
• 44:58
  Right.
• 44:59
  Where you have a theater,
• 45:02
  you have a cafeteria, you have offices,
• 45:05
  you have classrooms,
• 45:07
  you have a football field,
• 45:08
  you have a track,
• 45:09
  you have all the stuff you need,
• 45:11
  a gymnasium,
• 45:12
  all the stuff you need to run the
• 45:14
  games and to run the affiliates and to
• 45:17
  be an affiliate as a CrossFit HQ.
• 45:20
  I am one hundred percent on board with
• 45:24
  Suze's idea since he brought it out like
• 45:26
  a year ago.
• 45:28
  They didn't have to be a real big
• 45:29
  school.
• 45:32
  You know what I mean?
• 45:33
  Like it didn't have to be like a
• 45:34
  five a school that can hold three thousand
• 45:36
  people.
• 45:37
  Like that's not a thing.
• 45:39
  Whole malls are vacant.
• 45:43
  The big mall used to be in Baton
• 45:45
  Rouge is now an Amazon distribution
• 45:48
  center.
• 45:51
  Built a new mall,
• 45:52
  but that's what that's what ended up
• 45:55
  happening.
• 45:55
  So like and it had been perfect.
• 45:58
  It was a big Columbus.
• 45:59
  We have malls that are just vacant.
• 46:01
  They're not even being used for anything.
• 46:03
  It was, uh, I was Pentagon shaped or,
• 46:07
  or something along the line, but I mean,
• 46:08
  it had been, it had been choice,
• 46:12
  tons of parking area, outside area.
• 46:14
  I mean, the whole nine new ones.
• 46:16
  Uh, Jake says what's a lot lizard.
• 46:18
  Is it some kind of dangerous animal?
• 46:20
  It is.
• 46:21
  It is very, very dangerous.
• 46:23
  Yeah.
• 46:25
  You should always have protection when
• 46:27
  you're hanging around a lot lizard.
• 46:28
  Even with a lot lizard, yeah.
• 46:31
  Be thankful you don't know, Joe.
• 46:33
  Yeah, Jake, let's leave it at that.
• 46:35
  Yeah.
• 46:37
  Lots of protection.
• 46:38
  Mm-hmm.
• 46:39
  You need lots of protection when around
• 46:41
  us.
• 46:41
  We got lots of protection.
• 46:43
  Going back to,
• 46:44
  I see Winter popping back in here,
• 46:45
  and Winter is apparently the police.
• 46:47
  So we got all the protection we need.
• 46:53
  My friend said he got bitten by one
• 46:55
  yesterday.
• 46:57
  That story actually checked out.
• 46:58
  The story actually checked out.
• 47:02
  The only thing you do not want to
• 47:04
  get bitten by is a lot lizard.
• 47:06
  No.
• 47:07
  I don't want to get bitten by any
• 47:08
  kind of lizard.
• 47:09
  I definitely don't want to get bitten by
• 47:11
  a lot lizard.
• 47:12
  Yeah.
• 47:12
  That may be the worst bite of them
• 47:14
  all.
• 47:14
  A hundred percent.
• 47:15
  Stay away from truck stops,
• 47:17
  boys and girls.
• 47:18
  Not healthy for man or beast.
• 47:21
  Trent Olive, I know about lot lizards.
• 47:28
  Oh.
• 47:28
  Oh.
• 47:31
  That's good shit.
• 47:39
  Cows and CrossFit,
• 47:41
  most of them don't have teeth,
• 47:42
  if you're lucky.
• 47:44
  That's the myth.
• 47:48
  That's mostly because of the myth.
• 47:49
  The myth or the meth.
• 47:51
  The myth.
• 47:52
  Or the myth.
• 47:53
  Either one.
• 47:53
  I mean, yeah.
• 48:00
  I'm not healthy for man or beast you're
• 48:04
  welcome Tristan that's what I'm here for
• 48:10
  Sean in Oregon wants to bring back tire
• 48:12
  flipping I've never flipped a tire in
• 48:14
  CrossFit I have I haven't we still have
• 48:20
  some they're behind the building
• 48:27
  We used to do it all the time.
• 48:31
  I actually dropped in at CrossFit Outer
• 48:32
  Banks in North Carolina,
• 48:34
  and they had a tire so big,
• 48:37
  and I thought I was so strong,
• 48:39
  and I was not.
• 48:40
  I was not.
• 48:42
  The only time I've ever actually flipped a
• 48:45
  tire, one of my best friends came down,
• 48:49
  met me at the gym.
• 48:49
  We did a seven o'clock workout and we
• 48:51
  did we did a like a muddy dash,
• 48:54
  whatever,
• 48:54
  like obstacle course race or whatnot.
• 48:59
  And one of the stations had a tire
• 49:01
  to flip.
• 49:02
  And I was like,
• 49:03
  and Matt looked at me and I was
• 49:03
  like,
• 49:04
  I've never actually done this before.
• 49:05
  Let's see what happens.
• 49:06
  and because it was i say because of
• 49:08
  that i had never done it before so
• 49:09
  it was difficult and it was muddy and
• 49:12
  wet so it's like slipping around trying to
• 49:15
  get it to flip over uh mustang hill
• 49:19
  barbell mayhem event three just released
• 49:21
  it was actually released yesterday
• 49:23
  yesterday our show yeah what uh time zone
• 49:26
  are you in there mustang hill margo um
• 49:31
  and we pulled it up yesterday and talked
• 49:32
  about it
• 49:33
  uh so i don't want to try it
• 49:35
  um the problem here is the lizards have
• 49:39
  escaped the lot and are out and about
• 49:44
  lizards on the run man wild lizards
• 49:48
  lizards in the wild lizards in the wild
• 49:51
  officer winter we have a lot lizard down
• 49:54
  on main street absolutely we got a cold
• 49:57
  three
• 50:01
  We have hammers.
• 50:03
  Again,
• 50:03
  we have hammers and a couple of tires,
• 50:07
  but I can't tell you the last time
• 50:10
  they've been used.
• 50:10
  Yeah.
• 50:12
  I I've only ever done the sledgehammer
• 50:14
  thing at drop-ins.
• 50:19
  The gyms I were at didn't have the,
• 50:22
  I think the liability of the sledgehammer
• 50:24
  bouncing off the tire scared our,
• 50:27
  our owner.
• 50:28
  I will say this.
• 50:30
  So I worked construction for a very long
• 50:31
  time.
• 50:32
  I know how to swing a hammer.
• 50:33
  Okay.
• 50:35
  Every single time I see either a clip
• 50:38
  of it or I watch them do the
• 50:40
  assault banger from whatever year that
• 50:43
  was, twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen,
• 50:44
  something like that.
• 50:46
  It annoys me down to my soul that
• 50:49
  Sam Briggs is the only person that was
• 50:52
  there that actually knew how to swing a
• 50:54
  hammer.
• 50:55
  That's because she's a firefighter.
• 50:56
  Yeah.
• 50:57
  But I'm like,
• 50:59
  have you people never done any kind of
• 51:01
  work before whatsoever?
• 51:05
  I don't understand it.
• 51:09
  It was all just like when it was
• 51:11
  swinging and had both hands.
• 51:14
  The top hand should slide to the bottom
• 51:16
  hand for power.
• 51:17
  Every single time.
• 51:18
  And they'd never do.
• 51:19
  Every single time.
• 51:26
  Jake is on fire today.
• 51:28
  Yes.
• 51:28
  It's just best to have a thicker shaft
• 51:30
  or handle on the same hammer.
• 51:34
  As long as you grip with both hands,
• 51:35
  you should be good either way.
• 51:37
  And remember to slide.
• 51:39
  That part's important.
• 51:44
  I watched the event at the ranch where
• 51:46
  they had to hammer rebar into the ground.
• 51:48
  I've seen that too, Andrew.
• 51:49
  That one also drives me bananas.
• 51:53
  Which that, to be fair,
• 51:56
  that's actually hard to do to hit that.
• 51:57
  I mean, piece of rebars this big around,
• 52:00
  and that's actually not that, that hard.
• 52:02
  Oh, that easy to do as well,
• 52:03
  but none of them were doing any kind
• 52:06
  of, they were.
• 52:08
  It, it, Mark Phillips,
• 52:09
  it is much harder to do the Noah
• 52:10
  method, uh, when you swing it properly.
• 52:15
  Yeah.
• 52:18
  Uh,
• 52:18
  watching people use sledgehammers tells
• 52:20
  you a lot about how they are as
• 52:21
  a person.
• 52:23
  She ain't wrong.
• 52:27
  Can you get rid of lot lizards with
• 52:28
  a hammer?
• 52:29
  If you swing it hard enough, you can.
• 52:33
  I wouldn't advise it because winter may
• 52:35
  come for you next.
• 52:37
  Yeah, you still might have to talk.
• 52:38
  You still might end up having a
• 52:40
  conversation with winter at that point.
• 52:43
  But for a whole different reason.
• 52:45
  Yeah, absolutely.
• 52:49
  All right.
• 52:51
  I also had WFP release their workouts for
• 52:55
  Tour Stop One.
• 52:56
  Oh.
• 52:58
  Since Carolyn's going,
• 53:00
  we'll probably talk about that Sunday
• 53:01
  night.
• 53:02
  Sweet.
• 53:03
  But it does have a one rep max
• 53:05
  deadlift.
• 53:06
  And if you know Carolyn Prevost at all,
• 53:11
  our girl's giddy.
• 53:11
  I imagine, yeah.
• 53:14
  Giddy as a schoolgirl at that point.
• 53:16
  I'm surprised I couldn't hear her go from
• 53:19
  here.
• 53:20
  I know.
• 53:21
  Considering she's on the other coast and a
• 53:24
  whole different country.
• 53:28
  If you fight a lot lizard with a
• 53:29
  hammer, just make sure they don't take it.
• 53:32
  Facts.
• 53:32
  Make sure you got a good grip on
• 53:33
  it.
• 53:35
  Absolutely.
• 53:35
  Which, honestly,
• 53:36
  if you hit a lot lizard with a
• 53:38
  good strike with a sledgehammer,
• 53:44
  it's really only going to take one shot.
• 53:48
  Do we know what day the one rep
• 53:49
  max deadlift is?
• 53:50
  I would assume, Jake,
• 53:52
  it is on day two in the evening
• 53:57
  because it's event four A and four B
• 53:59
  out of six events.
• 54:01
  But they don't list any days with these
• 54:05
  events.
• 54:07
  So I would guess it's the Saturday in
• 54:09
  the evening.
• 54:12
  Because right after that,
• 54:13
  then you have to do a hundred calorie
• 54:16
  echo bike.
• 54:17
  For time.
• 54:19
  Oh,
• 54:19
  so one rep max deadlift first and then.
• 54:23
  Rest.
• 54:25
  Oh.
• 54:26
  And then a hundred calorie echo bike.
• 54:28
  That's not enough time to recover.
• 54:31
  It's not, that's gonna,
• 54:33
  that might actually be fun to watch just,
• 54:35
  just because of that.
• 54:36
  Like you don't see people fall apart on
• 54:38
  the bike.
• 54:39
  Holy smokes.
• 54:41
  Uh,
• 54:43
  the echo bike is one hundred seventy five
• 54:46
  calories, one or four men,
• 54:47
  seventy five for women, seven minute cap.
• 54:51
  I don't think we're getting the cap for
• 54:52
  most of those athletes.
• 54:54
  no they are not but watching them get
• 54:56
  off the bike afterwards is going to be
• 54:58
  worth watching the watching them just sit
• 55:00
  there and bike to our hundred calories
• 55:02
  because i don't know if anybody's ever
• 55:05
  done like a super heavy actual one rep
• 55:08
  max where you're picking up and like
• 55:11
  you're struggling to get it off the floor
• 55:12
  because it's so heavy and then try to
• 55:14
  do literally anything else after that
• 55:18
  it's not fun if it was reversed deadlift
• 55:24
  event because people would it'd be a whole
• 55:27
  it'd be a whole different test this is
• 55:28
  the way you actually this is the way
• 55:30
  that i'm kudos good job whoever programmed
• 55:33
  that because that's the only way to make
• 55:36
  that interesting to watch um lito says
• 55:39
  it's two events per day i hope so
• 55:42
  um that's how they've done it all along
• 55:45
  uh just fyi i did apply for media
• 55:47
  credentials
• 55:49
  Okay.
• 55:51
  Um, no, uh, but I don't,
• 55:53
  I don't think I was supposed to until
• 55:56
  it gets closer early next week, maybe,
• 55:59
  but they actually,
• 56:00
  let me give WFP some kudos.
• 56:02
  Okay.
• 56:02
  It's usually, it's a schmear campaign,
• 56:07
  but today we're not,
• 56:09
  they actually put out all of their events.
• 56:12
  You could apply one application and you
• 56:14
  could apply for every event.
• 56:20
  good right that has never happened in
• 56:23
  crossfit probably every event even when
• 56:27
  crossfit was running all the events you
• 56:30
  had to apply individually for each event
• 56:35
  media person you can apply for all of
• 56:37
  them at one time so wants to know
• 56:42
  if you come into london am i coming
• 56:45
  to london
• 56:47
  Probably not.
• 56:48
  My application was more for Indianapolis.
• 56:53
  How far was Indy from your house?
• 56:54
  Not very.
• 56:56
  Two hours, two and a half hours.
• 56:58
  I didn't think so.
• 57:02
  I would love to go to London someday.
• 57:06
  I would love to, too.
• 57:07
  And then I found out.
• 57:09
  So my boss is actually in Switzerland
• 57:13
  right now, I believe it is.
• 57:14
  His dad lives over there.
• 57:16
  So I was asking Todd, I was like,
• 57:18
  what's that flight look like?
• 57:19
  He's like, well,
• 57:19
  we fly to Chicago first and it's an
• 57:21
  eight hour flight.
• 57:22
  And I went, I'm sorry,
• 57:25
  you say it's an eight hour flight.
• 57:28
  And he's like, yeah, no, thank you.
• 57:30
  I don't need anything across the pond that
• 57:31
  bad.
• 57:34
  And I would love to go.
• 57:35
  I really, really would like England,
• 57:39
  Spain, France, like pick a place.
• 57:41
  I'd be a huge fan,
• 57:42
  but like getting there.
• 57:44
  No, thank you.
• 57:47
  Yeah.
• 57:47
  One of my biggest things I hate in
• 57:49
  this world is having to pee on a
• 57:50
  plane.
• 57:53
  literally if i'm going to montana to see
• 57:55
  my daughter i don't drink anything before
• 57:58
  i get on the plane i you know
• 58:00
  because it's i'm going to be four hours
• 58:04
  you can spot the people with like knee
• 58:05
  and back problems immediately because as
• 58:07
  soon as they get into the air like
• 58:08
  they're up and walking around so there's a
• 58:10
  lot of that going on uh jake i
• 58:16
  pee out of the plane solid the pressure
• 58:19
  could be tough
• 58:28
  You're up overnight, so you just sleep.
• 58:32
  If you needed any more dad jokes,
• 58:33
  we have all of them,
• 58:35
  just in case you were wondering.
• 58:39
  All right.
• 58:40
  So I was going to,
• 58:43
  maybe we'll talk about this next week.
• 58:45
  My wife got me on this rabbit hole.
• 58:46
  There's a show on some channel called
• 58:50
  Dangerous America.
• 58:51
  Oh.
• 58:54
  Sounds like something I'd be interested
• 58:55
  in.
• 58:55
  It's hosted by Henry Winkler.
• 58:57
  Yes.
• 58:58
  The funds.
• 58:59
  Let's go.
• 59:00
  And the episode we watched were all of
• 59:02
  the dangerous toys that ever came out in
• 59:06
  America, like including the lawn chart,
• 59:09
  lawn darts, baby.
• 59:11
  I had lawn darts.
• 59:12
  Um,
• 59:13
  There was one that actually emitted
• 59:15
  radiation before it was pulled from the
• 59:18
  market.
• 59:20
  There was one that made like monsters that
• 59:23
  the internal temperature reached like
• 59:26
  seven hundred degrees.
• 59:27
  Nice.
• 59:28
  And the external temperature was like two
• 59:30
  hundred and something.
• 59:31
  Right.
• 59:32
  Probably none you want to actually touch.
• 59:34
  Yeah, it is.
• 59:35
  It is hilarious what we thought was going
• 59:38
  to be good for kids back in the
• 59:39
  day.
• 59:41
  I had long darts.
• 59:42
  I'm pretty sure we had two different sets
• 59:44
  of long darts,
• 59:45
  and we never actually played the game as
• 59:47
  it was meant to be.
• 59:47
  We just threw them at each other.
• 59:49
  Yeah.
• 59:50
  And the way they were designed, man,
• 59:51
  you could chuck those a long way.
• 59:53
  Oh, yeah.
• 59:54
  Because that weight would slide to the
• 59:56
  front real quick.
• 59:56
  Just like sliding the top hand to the
• 59:59
  bottom hand, that weight just went up.
• 1:00:04
  Awesome.
• 1:00:05
  But check it out.
• 1:00:06
  Maybe we'll talk about it next week.
• 1:00:07
  It is a hilarious, hilarious show.
• 1:00:10
  What's it?
• 1:00:10
  Dangerous America?
• 1:00:12
  I think it's called Dangerous America.
• 1:00:16
  Remember when we thought iPads were good
• 1:00:18
  for kids?
• 1:00:21
  I mean, yeah.
• 1:00:22
  That's a whole different danger, Jake.
• 1:00:23
  Dangerous America.
• 1:00:30
  I'll text you for sure.
• 1:00:31
  I'm just trying to find it.
• 1:00:34
  Cause it's still up in my Hulu crew
• 1:00:36
  queue,
• 1:00:40
  but it's got a text from one of
• 1:00:42
  my, one of my friends in forty five,
• 1:00:45
  forty nine.
• 1:00:45
  He's not, he said he's going,
• 1:00:47
  he's declining his invite.
• 1:00:51
  He former games athlete though.
• 1:00:53
  Like he's legit.
• 1:00:55
  He's legit, but he's doing,
• 1:00:57
  he's doing an iron man,
• 1:00:58
  like literally the week before Roy.
• 1:01:01
  No, no.
• 1:01:02
  Okay.
• 1:01:05
  Because I could see Roy doing an Ironman.
• 1:01:06
  No,
• 1:01:07
  Roy is still trying to get back to
• 1:01:08
  one hundred percent health.
• 1:01:09
  He just had shoulder surgery last summer.
• 1:01:14
  All right, guys.
