Lunch with the Clydesdale - Wrap up the Announcement About the Divisional Games · Clydesdale Media Podcast

• 0:03
  Well, guys, it's Bears-Packers weekend.
• 0:05
  I've avoided talking about it as much as
• 0:07
  I can all week,
• 0:09
  but now we're on the doorstep.
• 0:11
  We're going to talk about it next.
• 0:26
  I love the chase and the hunt and
• 0:28
  I set the pace when I'm running.
• 0:29
  I always take what I want and I
• 0:31
  always give it one hundred.
• 0:32
  Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.
• 0:34
  Play the game like it's nothing.
• 0:35
  I'm always thankful for something.
• 0:37
  Don't take for granted, stay humble.
• 0:38
  Now wake up!
• 0:40
  It's time to look at the enemy.
• 0:42
  Look in the mirror if he is no
• 0:44
  friend to me.
• 0:45
  It's not working out,
• 0:46
  maybe it's the chemistry.
• 0:48
  It's time to break up so I can
• 0:50
  make a better me.
• 0:52
  What's going on everybody?
• 0:53
  It is lunchtime!
• 0:58
  Yeah, I do have to record that, man.
• 0:59
  You're going to hurt yourself at some
• 1:01
  point if you don't.
• 1:02
  I'm going to have a hernia or a
• 1:05
  strain of vocal cord or something.
• 1:08
  I can't be having that.
• 1:09
  I can't go on the IR this late
• 1:11
  in the season.
• 1:12
  No, no, no.
• 1:13
  Too close to the playoffs.
• 1:17
  Meredith, you don't have to lurk.
• 1:19
  You don't have to look in through the
• 1:20
  window.
• 1:21
  You can actually come inside.
• 1:22
  It's perfectly fine.
• 1:26
  Oh, we got Jody, we got Joey, Bears,
• 1:29
  Packers prediction, good guys, twenty-six,
• 1:31
  bad guys, twenty-four.
• 1:38
  Yeah.
• 1:39
  I don't know.
• 1:41
  What was that?
• 1:42
  I said,
• 1:43
  I don't know enough about the NFL right
• 1:44
  now to make any kind of prediction, so.
• 1:48
  i'm scared man i'm just a bears fan
• 1:49
  i'm used to like not being good like
• 1:52
  so i am i'm actually i'm scared going
• 1:56
  into the weekend i've been a saints fan
• 1:59
  for forty years believe me i know about
• 2:02
  not being used to not winning also you
• 2:05
  know a little bit about being used to
• 2:06
  winning because the drew breeze years were
• 2:08
  the drew breeze years like we were a
• 2:10
  legitimate force there for a while and
• 2:12
  then just fell out you had the sean
• 2:15
  payton head hunting years too
• 2:19
  Oh, yeah.
• 2:22
  Bounty Gate.
• 2:23
  Fucking bullshit.
• 2:24
  Don't get me started on that, dude.
• 2:26
  It just makes me mad.
• 2:28
  I wrote an entire rant about it on
• 2:30
  Facebook.
• 2:33
  But let's be real.
• 2:34
  We got a stellar,
• 2:37
  stellar Kevin James movie out of the whole
• 2:39
  deal.
• 2:41
  Out of Bounty Gate?
• 2:42
  Yeah.
• 2:43
  Yeah.
• 2:44
  I have no idea what you're talking about.
• 2:45
  You've never seen a Netflix movie with
• 2:47
  Kevin James?
• 2:48
  Playing Sean Payton?
• 2:50
  No, that sounds weird.
• 2:55
  And coaching his son's peewee football
• 2:57
  team?
• 2:57
  No, but that sounds fantastic.
• 3:01
  Oh my gosh, Mr. Movie Guy.
• 3:06
  And you know Kevin James did the
• 3:07
  authentic... I mean,
• 3:09
  he looks just like Sean Payton.
• 3:14
  It's funny you should say that because we
• 3:16
  have a dude that owns a gym,
• 3:20
  a CrossFit gym in Lafayette,
• 3:22
  which is not far from me at all,
• 3:23
  about an hour and twenty minutes,
• 3:25
  who legitimately looks like Sean Payton.
• 3:28
  Like he's going as Sean Payton for
• 3:30
  Halloween for several years.
• 3:34
  and it's like the resemblance is uncanny.
• 3:37
  You look at it and you're like, nope,
• 3:40
  that's not Sean Payton at all.
• 3:42
  That is one hundred percent not.
• 3:44
  It's bizarre.
• 3:46
  I'm going to send you his stuff.
• 3:48
  I was being sarcastic about the
• 3:50
  comparisons of Kevin James to Sean Payton.
• 3:53
  Yeah, I'm aware.
• 3:54
  That's what I'm saying.
• 3:55
  We have a dude down here that actually
• 3:56
  looks like Sean Payton.
• 3:57
  It's bananas.
• 3:58
  No, yeah,
• 3:59
  I know Kevin James does not look like
• 4:00
  Sean Payton whatsoever.
• 4:02
  John James missed yesterday.
• 4:04
  Jazz to be here today.
• 4:06
  Eric Mackey, a watcher and a subscriber.
• 4:08
  Hey,
• 4:09
  forty three percent of you watchers are
• 4:11
  subscribers.
• 4:12
  But that means that fifty seven percent of
• 4:15
  you watch and don't subscribe.
• 4:17
  It's free.
• 4:18
  It's free.
• 4:19
  It's free.
• 4:21
  I've heard that like the spin are doing
• 4:23
  these challenges to get extra subscribers.
• 4:25
  Like for every subscriber they get up
• 4:28
  until the new year,
• 4:29
  they're going to do X.
• 4:30
  I've thought about like how, if I,
• 4:34
  for every new subscriber I get before the
• 4:36
  first of the year,
• 4:38
  I will do that many minutes on the,
• 4:41
  um, assault bike.
• 4:43
  Ooh.
• 4:46
  And maybe I'll do a live show on
• 4:48
  the assault bike carrying out the minutes.
• 4:55
  How many do we need to get to?
• 4:58
  What is it?
• 4:58
  Three thousand?
• 4:59
  Well,
• 4:59
  we need so that YouTube does clean up
• 5:02
  every end of the year.
• 5:04
  So now we need forty five.
• 5:06
  Forty five.
• 5:07
  It'll be forty five minutes on the bike.
• 5:09
  Forty five.
• 5:09
  I mean,
• 5:09
  you ain't got to see how fast how
• 5:11
  fast you got to go.
• 5:12
  I didn't just drive me on it.
• 5:16
  i could do calories i could probably get
• 5:18
  those done way faster than minutes monday
• 5:23
  i'll have an answer for you which way
• 5:24
  i'm going calories or minutes we'll do it
• 5:27
  let's figure it out i love it and
• 5:29
  this stuff is blowing me away like eric
• 5:31
  mackie i was number two on the twenty
• 5:32
  five recap um on my youtube interview
• 5:36
  clydesdale media was number two behind
• 5:37
  savann only because i was six months late
• 5:39
  to the channel new mountain to climb um
• 5:45
  I'm blown away at where I'm showing up
• 5:47
  on these lists.
• 5:48
  I never in my wildest dreams did I
• 5:50
  ever think that that would even be a
• 5:52
  thing.
• 5:54
  But thank you, everybody,
• 5:55
  where that has happened.
• 5:57
  I am truly, truly blown away by that.
• 5:59
  And I thank each and every one of
• 6:01
  you for listening because it makes my day
• 6:04
  every day at lunchtime to come down here
• 6:06
  and talk to you guys.
• 6:08
  It makes my day better.
• 6:10
  So I hope it makes yours as well.
• 6:15
  It doesn't work that way.
• 6:17
  Unsubscribe and resubscribe is the same
• 6:19
  one.
• 6:20
  You'll just go down one, up one,
• 6:22
  down one, up one.
• 6:30
  Jenny had posted a story earlier.
• 6:34
  She said having a daily show and time
• 6:36
  slot is a huge driver for consistency for
• 6:38
  the channel.
• 6:39
  Killing it, Scott.

• 7:43

• 7:47
  two actually probably but hopefully both
• 7:51
  um that was meant for jimmy
• 7:56
  Jody, I'm embarrassed at my number two,
• 7:57
  so I won't post it.
• 7:59
  So, like, I honestly, when I got mine,
• 8:02
  I actually have it up if I wanted
• 8:03
  to share it.
• 8:04
  I don't know because it's kind of boring.
• 8:07
  I thought it would be CrossFit, CrossFit,
• 8:08
  CrossFit, CrossFit.
• 8:10
  Because, I mean,
• 8:10
  I watch The Spin every week.
• 8:12
  I watch Hiller all the time.
• 8:14
  I watch Savant all the time.
• 8:16
  I watch Claire and CJ.
• 8:18
  I watch, like,
• 8:20
  I watch everything I can possibly watch to
• 8:22
  be up to date on everything possible.
• 8:25
  And all of mine are Chicago bears,
• 8:28
  except for Savan.
• 8:34
  So apparently what I,
• 8:36
  when I thought I was watching a lot
• 8:38
  of CrossFit,
• 8:38
  apparently I'm watching a lot of Chicago
• 8:40
  bear podcast too.
• 8:42
  It's steady and the bears.
• 8:43
  Yeah.
• 8:46
  I've got Papa bear,
• 8:47
  mama bear and baby bear all on my
• 8:50
  podcast list.
• 8:50
  That's fantastic.
• 8:58
  Jenny's going to make it to Quest.
• 9:03
  Good job, Jenny.
• 9:04
  So, Valenz Media,
• 9:06
  he's going to be our rep at Fittest
• 9:08
  Experience.
• 9:09
  Nice.
• 9:10
  Getting shots for us.
• 9:12
  Super pumped for that.
• 9:14
  He helped me out a ton at the
• 9:16
  games this year.
• 9:17
  So, I hope...
• 9:21
  We applied for credentials.
• 9:23
  We're going to see how,
• 9:23
  hopefully that goes well.
• 9:28
  I wouldn't see where I wouldn't do that.
• 9:29
  Is it Cajun every day, lunch hour now?
• 9:32
  Yeah.
• 9:34
  I just like hanging out with you guys.
• 9:35
  That's it's, that's just what it is, man.
• 9:40
  If I can, I,
• 9:41
  if I can jump on,
• 9:42
  I will more than likely.
• 9:43
  So he's hanging out so much.
• 9:46
  I've got to get him a mic.
• 9:48
  So, yeah,
• 9:50
  I don't have my earbuds in today.
• 9:51
  I have no idea what my sound looks
• 9:53
  sounds like.
• 9:53
  It's probably terrible.
• 9:55
  Yeah,
• 9:55
  we got to up the sound with a
• 9:56
  microphone.
• 9:58
  So I'm going to get one here soon.
• 10:01
  When I get my little bitty ones like
• 10:02
  they do the interviews with.
• 10:04
  Yeah, it's like a real mic,
• 10:05
  but it's this big.
• 10:05
  Looks like a Lego mic.
• 10:07
  Sit there and hold like the testing,
• 10:09
  testing, testing one, two.
• 10:11
  Ain't nothing wrong with a little
• 10:12
  seasoning,
• 10:13
  especially some Cajun seasoning.
• 10:15
  Well, we used to call it Cajun,
• 10:17
  but then Sevon switched it to the Cowboy.
• 10:19
  So now we're just going with the Cowboy.
• 10:22
  Which is mind-blowing.
• 10:29
  Oh.
• 10:30
  Oh.
• 10:32
  Froning just released a new podcast.
• 10:33
  They brought on NC Fit under the Mayhem
• 10:36
  umbrella.
• 10:38
  Holy smokes.
• 10:42
  Wow.
• 10:42
  That's amazing.
• 10:46
  I don't know why I even thought this
• 10:47
  way, but when I saw them kind of,
• 10:49
  I thought there might be a merger of
• 10:51
  that and make, and just become bigger.
• 10:55
  Kalip has been working at this like entity
• 10:59
  for a long time.
• 11:02
  And the mayhem has kind of been more
• 11:04
  organic through it.
• 11:06
  Holy smokes.
• 11:08
  Dude.
• 11:09
  Holy smokes.
• 11:12
  Wow.
• 11:13
  Jenny just broke the show.
• 11:18
  Um, that's a big deal.
• 11:25
  Um, people have seen that, uh,
• 11:30
  Ken Walters go Savon Clydesdale, Hiller,
• 11:32
  Glinton, CPW.
• 11:35
  That's how I thought mine would roll with
• 11:37
  minus me.
• 11:38
  Cause I don't really watch myself.
• 11:40
  Um, but it's all Chicago bears.
• 11:45
  Kalipa staying on to advise collab to help
• 11:48
  the gym owners and coaches.
• 11:52
  So I wonder what the program is going
• 11:53
  to look like.
• 11:54
  Have you ever seen Jason's program?
• 11:58
  Kalipas?
• 12:00
  I used to back in the day.
• 12:02
  I probably haven't been looking at it much
• 12:04
  lately.
• 12:06
  The place that is or used to be
• 12:08
  our second location is now Cajun CrossFit
• 12:10
  right down the street from where I am
• 12:11
  right now.
• 12:12
  They tried it right whenever the new owner
• 12:14
  bought it.
• 12:15
  And it lasted two months because the
• 12:21
  members were complaining about it so badly
• 12:24
  because like,
• 12:24
  it just didn't feel like they weren't
• 12:27
  doing burpees.
• 12:28
  They were doing up downs where you don't
• 12:30
  go all the way to the ground.
• 12:31
  And like, it was just some,
• 12:32
  and some different type movements.
• 12:34
  Like it was just different, right.
• 12:35
  Whatever Jason had programmed or whatnot
• 12:37
  to the point where when,
• 12:41
  when the owner canceled it,
• 12:43
  Jason called him himself to see and get
• 12:45
  feedback.
• 12:46
  He's like, hey, man,
• 12:48
  I see y'all just started and you just
• 12:50
  canceled.
• 12:50
  Can you tell me what's going on?
• 12:51
  He had a whole conversation with him about
• 12:53
  it.
• 12:54
  And I thought that was kind of cool,
• 12:55
  Jason reaching out himself to see, hey,
• 12:58
  what did we do wrong?
• 12:59
  What can we do better?
• 13:01
  That kind of stuff.
• 13:03
  So I am super curious as to see
• 13:06
  what that's going to look like now that
• 13:08
  they are together,
• 13:09
  because I don't see Mayhem changing their
• 13:10
  program.
• 13:13
  Um,
• 13:13
  John George went to a gym that followed
• 13:14
  NC fit horrible, like F forty five.
• 13:19
  I went to a gym that followed mayhem.
• 13:21
  It should be called interval fit.
• 13:23
  So my old gym did mayhem before I
• 13:27
  left.
• 13:29
  I didn't hate it, but it was,
• 13:30
  but we,
• 13:31
  we came out and we went comp train
• 13:33
  to mayhem and,
• 13:35
  and mayhem was so much better than comp
• 13:38
  train.
• 13:39
  Like it just felt like we had been
• 13:43
  rejuvenated and but I'll be,
• 13:47
  I'll be completely frank.
• 13:48
  Like my favorite time in CrossFit at that
• 13:50
  gym is when the owner programmed,
• 13:55
  I thought he did a better job than,
• 13:57
  for the everyday CrossFitter and knew the
• 13:59
  clientele better than buying into a
• 14:02
  subscription.
• 14:05
  But I, you know, comp training.
• 14:08
  Yeah, well, comp training,
• 14:12
  we've been on it forever at my gym.
• 14:14
  I don't,
• 14:14
  obviously I don't do it unless there's
• 14:16
  something in there that looks interesting,
• 14:18
  which only happens twice a month.
• 14:23
  We've been on it forever.
• 14:25
  Ups, downs, up, downs, here, lately,
• 14:27
  since they changed to complete training.
• 14:31
  Not comp training anymore.
• 14:32
  Although comp training is still there if
• 14:34
  somebody wants to.
• 14:35
  I don't know.
• 14:36
  It's a whole thing.
• 14:37
  Anyway,
• 14:42
  I could one hundred percent understand how
• 14:43
  going from that to literally anything else
• 14:46
  is going to be an upgrade.
• 14:47
  Right.
• 14:47
  You're going to feel like you're just
• 14:48
  making strides and whatnot just from what
• 14:50
  they do to that.
• 14:52
  to what literally anybody else done.
• 14:54
  I've dropped into some places,
• 14:55
  a bunch of places actually that do mayhem.
• 14:58
  I enjoyed it while I was there.
• 14:59
  It feels like CrossFit as opposed to a
• 15:02
  lot of the complete training stuff that
• 15:04
  just doesn't to me anymore.
• 15:06
  Every once in a while you get one
• 15:08
  that's like, oh yeah, this is cool.
• 15:11
  But
• 15:13
  I don't want to get off on that
• 15:14
  tangent.
• 15:15
  I want to get into this a little
• 15:16
  bit, though.
• 15:17
  And this isn't at all what was on
• 15:18
  our rundown.
• 15:19
  It's like a little bit of rundown we
• 15:21
  have is just like a couple of things.
• 15:23
  So there's a lot of questions about how
• 15:28
  many gyms, how many gyms.
• 15:30
  I think like it's risky to put any
• 15:33
  numbers on that because I think we don't
• 15:35
  define it well.
• 15:36
  you NC fit actually had gyms,
• 15:40
  physical locations that were NC fit that
• 15:44
  they added on when COVID hit,
• 15:46
  they went mass push into like opening more
• 15:50
  physical locations.
• 15:52
  Correct.
• 15:52
  Also have programming that people
• 15:54
  subscribe to.
• 15:56
  I wouldn't necessarily say they are a,
• 15:57
  an NC fit gym.
• 15:59
  They just follow the programming.
• 16:02
  And that's where we get into like a
• 16:03
  little bit of like conf...
• 16:07
  confliction with mayhem mayhem is starting
• 16:11
  a new program where you can join them
• 16:13
  as an affiliate and then they have the
• 16:16
  old version of hey we're doing mayhem
• 16:19
  programming my old gym is not a mayhem
• 16:22
  affiliate it is they do the programming so
• 16:28
  the numbers can get twisted if you don't
• 16:31
  define it
• 16:33
  right and i think that's where we have
• 16:35
  to be careful right here because i think
• 16:38
  if you say how many people subscribe to
• 16:40
  their programming it can be like thousands
• 16:43
  correct
• 16:46
  if it's how many people are affiliates of
• 16:49
  that, of mayhem,
• 16:51
  and they just got started with that.
• 16:53
  So there's probably not a lot of those.
• 16:55
  And then you have like, I think,
• 16:56
  thirty or thirty five is what NC fit
• 16:59
  got up to right during covid.
• 17:01
  And I don't know if they're still NC
• 17:03
  fit gyms today.
• 17:08
  Nobody knows because they're not I would
• 17:09
  say not relevant, but they're not.
• 17:12
  it wasn't worth it wasn't worth tracking
• 17:13
  it's not a thing that that's worth
• 17:14
  tracking because they're not uh like
• 17:17
  shannon's saying that they're not a force
• 17:19
  of nature like me him is like right
• 17:21
  you can't you can't you could probably
• 17:25
  tell somebody who's been doing crossfit
• 17:27
  for six months and say mention mayhem and
• 17:29
  they'll know what you're talking about and
• 17:31
  if you mention nc fit they'll probably
• 17:33
  look at you like you have two heads
• 17:34
  like what do you what does nc fit
• 17:36
  they probably have absolutely no idea
• 17:38
  It's just not the same brand recognition.
• 17:41
  And that's no slight against Jason.
• 17:42
  It's just a fact, right?
• 17:46
  What I also think that Mayhem is
• 17:48
  positioning themselves,
• 17:50
  depending on what happens with the sale
• 17:52
  moving forward.
• 17:54
  What sale?
• 17:55
  So they can, I mean, if you,
• 17:59
  there are people still claiming they are
• 18:02
  in the position to buy,
• 18:03
  whether it's realistic or not,
• 18:05
  I don't know.
• 18:07
  I keep telling my eight-year-old that
• 18:08
  Santa Claus is coming down the chimney and
• 18:11
  about the same amount of validity.
• 18:20
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 18:21
  I know jack about corporate takeover,
• 18:25
  selling, buying, brand names,
• 18:27
  all that kind of stuff.
• 18:29
  It just doesn't seem to me like it
• 18:32
  should be this drug out.
• 18:35
  This is going on a year and a
• 18:36
  half now.
• 18:39
  Yeah, but at the end of the day,
• 18:41
  just because your house is up for sale
• 18:42
  for a year and a half doesn't mean
• 18:43
  you still don't want to sell it, right?
• 18:46
  And I think that at the end of
• 18:47
  the day, at the end of the day,
• 18:50
  Brookshire wants out from under this.
• 18:54
  But they're not going to do it at
• 18:57
  a penny on the dollar either, right?
• 18:59
  Right.
• 19:00
  So maybe if there are people that are
• 19:04
  legit,
• 19:05
  have the money and legit want to buy
• 19:07
  it, I think Brookshire is going to listen.
• 19:11
  It's just, so I, there,
• 19:13
  there's always during this sale,
• 19:15
  there's been a stumbling block with one
• 19:18
  issue and they get to that issue and
• 19:20
  then everybody bails.
• 19:22
  So can this new group get over that
• 19:25
  hurdle?
• 19:26
  So a lot of people with money,
• 19:27
  you mean not pranking?
• 19:29
  Not Frank.
• 19:30
  Just checking.
• 19:31
  Just want to make sure we're on the
• 19:34
  same page there.
• 19:35
  Yeah.
• 19:37
  Yeah.
• 19:38
  Frank is about two hundred million short.
• 19:43
  Roughly.
• 19:43
  Under ninety nine million nine hundred
• 19:46
  dollars.
• 19:47
  Yeah.
• 19:49
  I got two bucks on it right now.
• 19:51
  Well, actually, I got twenty.
• 19:52
  I got twenty in my wallet.
• 19:53
  I'll put it up across it right now.
• 19:56
  You join.
• 19:56
  Do you say you're doing Frank?
• 20:00
  No,
• 20:00
  I said I got twenty dollars on it
• 20:02
  right now.
• 20:02
  OK, I say shit about now.
• 20:04
  No, I'm not.
• 20:04
  I'm not giving Frank twenty dollars.
• 20:06
  You lost your damn mind.
• 20:09
  I'm not giving Frank the benefit of the
• 20:11
  doubt, much less twenty dollars.
• 20:12
  You lost.
• 20:12
  No, look.
• 20:15
  John Ortega's got two fifty.
• 20:19
  Yeah,
• 20:19
  Frank ain't getting none of my money.
• 20:21
  No.
• 20:23
  I don't think I'd back crunch fitness
• 20:25
  before Frank.
• 20:26
  I'm saying.
• 20:29
  Look, Taker's got two fifty.
• 20:30
  I got twenty dollars.
• 20:31
  That's twenty two fifty right there.
• 20:34
  We crowdfunded shit out of this.
• 20:37
  We might be at fifty bucks by the
• 20:39
  end of the day.
• 20:41
  That's close to it, if not.
• 20:45
  Fifty dollars.
• 20:46
  All we need is all we need is
• 20:47
  fifty dollars and Matt Sousa.
• 20:50
  And I think we'd be good to go.
• 20:59
  I'd put Susan in Georgia CrossFit
• 21:00
  tomorrow, actually today,
• 21:03
  if it was up to me.
• 21:06
  Yeah,
• 21:06
  I think the thing that he has said
• 21:09
  out loud that I like the most is
• 21:12
  get some smart people in a room and
• 21:17
  talk about things, right?
• 21:19
  Not just do.
• 21:21
  And I like that idea.
• 21:26
  It's a practical idea is why.
• 21:30
  It's not just let's throw money at it
• 21:35
  until it fixes itself.
• 21:36
  It's an actual practical idea.
• 21:38
  Hey, okay, you want to use money?
• 21:40
  That's fine.
• 21:41
  Let's use money on this.
• 21:42
  Like building an actual HQ,
• 21:45
  that whole thing that he built,
• 21:46
  dreamed of, whatever you want,
• 21:47
  however you want to look at it,
• 21:48
  like put together,
• 21:50
  that's a legitimate thing that gives
• 21:52
  people somewhere to go.
• 21:53
  It's a destination.
• 21:53
  Hey, this is where our headquarters is.
• 21:55
  Come over here.
• 21:56
  Get a workout in.
• 21:57
  Walk around.
• 21:58
  See what's going on.
• 22:00
  Managed to be part of it in some
• 22:02
  sort of way while you're there,
• 22:03
  or at least feel like, Hey,
• 22:05
  at least I can say, man,
• 22:06
  I went to this thing and saw it.
• 22:07
  It was amazing in person.
• 22:09
  Right.
• 22:09
  I got to work out in,
• 22:11
  I talked to seminar staff that were in
• 22:12
  there or whatnot.
• 22:14
  I mean,
• 22:16
  as opposed to where's the head office.
• 22:21
  I have, I have absolutely no idea.
• 22:23
  Yeah.
• 22:25
  Um,
• 22:27
  Chattanoofy.
• 22:29
  I appreciate that I can always count on
• 22:31
  CrossFit Tuck on your show and some
• 22:32
  football and movies,
• 22:33
  but mostly CrossFit appreciate you guys.
• 22:36
  Yeah.
• 22:37
  I had movies on the rundown,
• 22:39
  but then this thing broke.
• 22:41
  So here we are.
• 22:45
  Kind of in this realm,
• 22:47
  and because I have not seen the podcast,
• 22:50
  we're just shooting speculation off into
• 22:52
  the air, right?
• 22:54
  I'm going with what Jenny said she heard.
• 22:57
  Kalipa's staying on.
• 22:58
  Mayhem's taking over the NC Fit.
• 23:04
  The Mayhem Empire's growing.
• 23:06
  Why it's growing, we don't know.
• 23:09
  I don't know.
• 23:10
  But the other thing I wanted to talk
• 23:12
  to you about is we talked yesterday about
• 23:15
  the divisional games now combining with
• 23:19
  the elites in San Jose.
• 23:25
  But Legends is still running Masters.
• 23:29
  Pitt is still running Teens.
• 23:30
  Wheel Watt is still running Adaptive.
• 23:34
  What are your thoughts about those
• 23:36
  remaining on to run their pieces?
• 23:41
  And listening to CJ and Claire this
• 23:43
  morning,
• 23:44
  because CJ is trying to be a sponsor
• 23:47
  of the Masters games,
• 23:49
  and it seems like even those pieces are
• 23:52
  separate from the big show.
• 23:56
  Yeah,
• 23:56
  I only caught a portion of that this
• 23:58
  morning.
• 23:58
  I was actually watching that before I came
• 24:00
  on here because I wanted to hear more
• 24:01
  of what he was saying about that.
• 24:05
  I think that especially when you're having
• 24:08
  them all in the same place, honestly,
• 24:13
  I think it could go either way.
• 24:15
  You've either got a lot of chiefs and
• 24:17
  not enough Indians trying to figure out
• 24:21
  what is essentially going to be, what,
• 24:24
  four separate contests in one and a half
• 24:30
  venues, call it, assuming that,
• 24:33
  not even assuming that,
• 24:35
  Well, yeah,
• 24:36
  I guess you kind of have to.
• 24:37
  There's going to be some overlap between
• 24:39
  the convention center and the SAP center.
• 24:42
  That's a lot of cogs in a wheel.
• 24:45
  That's a whole lot of cogs in a
• 24:46
  wheel.
• 24:49
  Whereas if Legends is just putting on the
• 24:54
  Masters games in Columbus again,
• 24:57
  that's all they have to worry about.
• 24:58
  They don't have to worry about anybody
• 25:00
  else having to use their system or
• 25:02
  collaborating with anybody else.
• 25:05
  which could be good, could be bad, right?
• 25:07
  We've seen how it turned out last year.
• 25:10
  And from what I understand,
• 25:12
  the thing itself went fine.
• 25:16
  Most of what people were complaining about
• 25:17
  were the workouts themselves.
• 25:20
  And I will tell you from experience,
• 25:21
  being at Legends, they run a tight ship.
• 25:25
  It is fun to be at because everything
• 25:26
  runs more or less on time,
• 25:28
  as far as I can tell.
• 25:29
  I've never seen Rushed or Behind or
• 25:32
  anything like that.
• 25:35
  Just that the programming is what the
• 25:36
  programming is.
• 25:40
  I'm not one to...
• 25:43
  I will definitely say stuff about it,
• 25:45
  but I'm still going to go do it.
• 25:46
  It doesn't matter what it is because the
• 25:47
  test is what the test is.
• 25:49
  Whether I think it's stupid or not,
• 25:51
  it's still the test.
• 25:55
  So having them all in the same place
• 25:57
  like that, like I said, with some...
• 26:04
  Wayne Short,
• 26:04
  it would be interesting to know if the
• 26:05
  CAC took divisional athletes' concerns to
• 26:07
  CrossFit.
• 26:08
  If so, what did they say?
• 26:11
  John George, okay, not to be negative,
• 26:12
  don't like it.
• 26:14
  Also,
• 26:14
  if Masters is all alone in a separate
• 26:16
  building, why did they cut so many spots?
• 26:18
  Makes no sense.
• 26:20
  Andrew Sten,
• 26:21
  why wouldn't they still be running things?
• 26:22
  This is a one-year thing.
• 26:23
  Most likely don't think they'll stay
• 26:25
  merged.
• 26:26
  And then Jenny, from what I'm hearing,
• 26:27
  CrossFit will be more hands-on this year
• 26:29
  with the event directors of each.
• 26:31
  Well, here's what I want to say.
• 26:34
  I don't think it's a one-year thing.
• 26:37
  Really?
• 26:37
  Yeah.
• 26:40
  And CJ and Claire said this,
• 26:42
  so I don't want to steal their line,
• 26:44
  but why would you separate them out
• 26:49
  knowing in two years you're bringing them
• 26:50
  back together for the
• 27:09
  And it separates your attendance, right.
• 27:11
  Or, or separates it.
• 27:12
  However you want to view it.
• 27:15
  The big show looks as an empty arena.
• 27:17
  Yeah.
• 27:20
  When you have empty or a hundred masters
• 27:22
  athletes in the same place,
• 27:24
  right beforehand,
• 27:26
  many of them will stay on for the
• 27:27
  rest of the weekend.
• 27:29
  And then you fill your seat.
• 27:30
  Yeah, no, I, I want to represent,
• 27:33
  I can see that if I'm,
• 27:34
  if I'm competing and,
• 27:36
  in masters for the games,
• 27:38
  and I know that the elites start the
• 27:40
  next day after we're done,
• 27:41
  I'm not leaving.
• 27:43
  I'm just going to take my vacation from
• 27:46
  whenever we need to start all the way
• 27:48
  through to when the end of the games
• 27:49
  is, and then go home after that.
• 27:51
  Yeah, no, that makes more sense.
• 27:54
  That gets more butts in the seats at
• 27:55
  that point.
• 27:55
  I would think it would anyway.
• 27:58
  Here are my concerns with the way I'm
• 28:00
  hearing things.
• 28:01
  And granted,
• 28:02
  we do not have a lot of detail
• 28:03
  at this point.
• 28:06
  One,
• 28:08
  if you're having them all in the same
• 28:10
  city an eighth of a mile or eight-tenths
• 28:13
  of a mile away from each other,
• 28:16
  I would hope there's more coordination
• 28:18
  with the sponsorship stuff to have a
• 28:20
  vendor village that kicks ass again.
• 28:24
  Somewhere either at the convention center,
• 28:27
  at the SAP center,
• 28:28
  or somewhere in between the walk to and
• 28:30
  fro.
• 28:32
  I would think that somewhere in between
• 28:34
  would be ideal.
• 28:38
  The other piece is I have never heard
• 28:42
  a bad thing about Pitt running the team
• 28:45
  division.
• 28:46
  Nobody knows those athletes better than
• 28:47
  the Pitt crew,
• 28:49
  and they were running competitions before
• 28:54
  they got this gig,
• 28:55
  and everything was awesome.
• 28:59
  Second,
• 28:59
  I've never heard a bad word about wheel
• 29:01
  wad.
• 29:02
  In fact,
• 29:03
  I've heard that most adaptive athletes
• 29:05
  before they got the CrossFit Games looked
• 29:08
  at the wheel wad championship as their
• 29:09
  true championship of adaptive athletes
• 29:12
  because they got every division of
• 29:15
  adaptives at that one place at one time
• 29:18
  and the CrossFit Games could not contain
• 29:20
  all of that.
• 29:23
  And so...
• 29:27
  I've heard nothing but glowing remarks
• 29:29
  about those two entities.
• 29:32
  And they deserve to keep running what
• 29:34
  they're doing.
• 29:35
  Where I've heard the complaints is
• 29:36
  Legends.
• 29:39
  And Legends is happening.
• 29:40
  Their original Legends Championship is
• 29:43
  happening in a week.
• 29:44
  You're competing there.
• 29:45
  It is a phenomenal event.
• 29:48
  And when they're doing what they're doing
• 29:51
  there,
• 29:53
  I don't care what their programming is
• 29:55
  because it's their event.
• 29:58
  It doesn't have to be balanced.
• 29:59
  It doesn't have to be well-rounded.
• 30:01
  It's the legends event.
• 30:03
  It's not to find the fittest on earth.
• 30:05
  And so I don't really care what they
• 30:06
  do there,
• 30:07
  but they have had a hard time adjusting
• 30:09
  to running the games,
• 30:12
  which now has this requirement that we're
• 30:14
  finding the fittest on earth and it needs
• 30:17
  to be well-rounded.
• 30:18
  It needs to be a better test.
• 30:20
  And in two years of doing it,
• 30:22
  there have been nothing but complaints
• 30:24
  from the space, from the,
• 30:27
  the athletes from everybody.
• 30:31
  I have a hard time with them still
• 30:33
  running this when it has been nothing but
• 30:37
  complaining about the programming for that
• 30:41
  particular event.
• 30:47
  I mean,
• 30:47
  part of the reason why you hear all
• 30:48
  the complaints about legends is because we
• 30:50
  masters love to complain about everything.
• 30:52
  I agree with you,
• 30:53
  but they were valid complaints.
• 30:57
  But last year, especially last year,
• 31:01
  both years went super heavy,
• 31:04
  no high skill gymnastics until later in
• 31:07
  the weekend, both to make a difference.
• 31:11
  And they're not listening to the
• 31:13
  constructive criticism at all.
• 31:15
  You don't see.
• 31:17
  And two years ago,
• 31:19
  nothing was over like eight minutes.
• 31:23
  This year, they put in the seven K.
• 31:25
  We got one event over eight minutes.
• 31:28
  And it was just a minor structural event.
• 31:30
  Right.
• 31:31
  But there's no high skilled gymnastics
• 31:33
  ever early on in their events so far.
• 31:36
  And they're not listening to the
• 31:37
  constructive criticism to make any changes
• 31:40
  in that vein.
• 31:43
  So that's where I have some concerns.
• 31:50
  Lita says,
• 31:51
  teens are too stressed to complain.
• 31:52
  Listen, parents of teens will complain,
• 31:55
  but that group at Pitt is so good,
• 31:59
  and they're so good at knowing their
• 32:00
  athletes,
• 32:01
  and they take such good care of their
• 32:03
  athletes,
• 32:03
  you don't hear the parents complain.
• 32:06
  And listen,
• 32:06
  I used to be a little league umpire.
• 32:08
  Parents are the first people to jump over
• 32:10
  that fence and tell you you did something
• 32:11
  wrong.
• 32:13
  I swear to God.
• 32:15
  Oh, no.
• 32:16
  My daughter just started playing softball,
• 32:17
  dude.
• 32:18
  Believe me.
• 32:20
  my youngest started playing softball,
• 32:22
  my oldest played soccer.
• 32:26
  When I am the voice of reason among
• 32:28
  the parents,
• 32:30
  because I'm the only one not shouting at
• 32:32
  their referees or the umpire or whoever
• 32:34
  the case may be, there's a problem.
• 32:38
  If I'm the guy having to like,
• 32:41
  Because my patience is short and my tip
• 32:44
  can be pretty high.
• 32:46
  And the fact that I'm the only one
• 32:48
  out there going, hey,
• 32:48
  maybe I should stop yelling at these kids
• 32:50
  and the refs.
• 32:51
  Maybe that sounds like a good idea.
• 32:55
  Lito,
• 32:55
  the reason I'm saying what I'm saying is
• 32:56
  because I have inside information about
• 32:58
  how the programming went last year and how
• 33:00
  much Pitt was involved with the
• 33:02
  programming last year.
• 33:04
  Everything before that,
• 33:06
  when they were their own show,
• 33:08
  was done very well.
• 33:15
  Joe said just a few weeks ago that
• 33:16
  if you want to do gymnastics,
• 33:18
  you have to earn it.
• 33:20
  That is horseshit.
• 33:22
  Horseshit.
• 33:23
  Gymnastics is a part of the pyramid.
• 33:26
  It is one of the aspects that you
• 33:27
  have to be able to do well to
• 33:28
  do CrossFit.
• 33:29
  It's not earning it.
• 33:33
  It is one of the things you test
• 33:35
  for.
• 33:39
  So, along those veins...
• 33:43
  We have six events down my cheek right
• 33:45
  now.
• 33:48
  We have six events that led us next
• 33:50
  weekend, the final,
• 33:53
  which not everybody's going to get to do.
• 33:54
  Cause they're going to be,
• 33:55
  there's gonna be a cut right before the
• 33:56
  final.
• 33:56
  We're going to go from three heats down
• 33:58
  to one, basically,
• 34:00
  or four heats down to one,
• 34:01
  whatever it is.
• 34:01
  Um, is it that's where the,
• 34:05
  the ring muscle ups are.
• 34:07
  So like the only people that's going to
• 34:08
  get to do ring muscle ups at the
• 34:10
  end of the last workout of the weekend
• 34:11
  are going to be top fifty.
• 34:13
  Before that, there is total bar,
• 34:18
  chest bar, and bar muscle-ups,
• 34:20
  but they're all the same workout.
• 34:22
  There's no handstand walking this year.
• 34:25
  There was last year.
• 34:27
  And there is wall walks with a wall-facing
• 34:31
  handstand push-up.
• 34:32
  Here's my thing.
• 34:35
  That's their event.
• 34:37
  And they can do whatever they wish.
• 34:40
  I get it,
• 34:40
  but it's very much like the games was.
• 34:46
  It's the same.
• 34:47
  I guess my point is,
• 34:48
  it's fine at your own event.
• 34:52
  But when you take over the CrossFit Games,
• 34:58
  what you have to accomplish is different
• 35:01
  than when you're just running your own
• 35:02
  event.
• 35:03
  We all know that if you go to
• 35:04
  Rogue, you're going to lift heavy.
• 35:08
  You know that going in and they're not
• 35:10
  trying to find the fittest.
• 35:12
  And if you don't want to lift heavy,
• 35:13
  don't go.
• 35:16
  Pretty much it's invitation.
• 35:17
  Right.
• 35:19
  It is the fact now that they are
• 35:22
  the responsible to find the fittest on
• 35:24
  earth,
• 35:24
  that they need to be more respectful of
• 35:27
  the pyramid and include all aspects of the
• 35:30
  pyramid to find the fittest on earth.
• 35:34
  And none of that needs to be earned
• 35:36
  by another piece of the pyramid.
• 35:38
  They're all testable events inside the
• 35:41
  same pyramid.
• 35:46
  That's the problem.
• 35:49
  Again.
• 35:54
  Program legends this year.
• 35:57
  Yes, I have.
• 36:00
  Okay,
• 36:00
  so I've heard that if Boulder didn't
• 36:06
  really program, they were consultants.
• 36:10
  Well,
• 36:10
  their name's been blazoned across the
• 36:12
  entire thing.
• 36:13
  Right.
• 36:14
  They have sponsored the programming.
• 36:16
  They have a say in the programming,
• 36:18
  but I don't believe they are programming.
• 36:21
  Okay.
• 36:31
  always am glad when jenny agrees because i
• 36:33
  don't want to get the notification that
• 36:34
  i've made a dense update i don't want
• 36:38
  to get tagged when i wake up to
• 36:43
  am and i get that notification man i'm
• 36:45
  sweating until i pull up the video i'm
• 36:47
  telling you uh i think shannon's got a
• 36:51
  good point right there
• 36:54
  Bob and Joe have always had the approach
• 36:56
  of earning gymnastics.
• 36:57
  They have said it for years.
• 36:59
  They don't think they need to change
• 37:00
  because CrossFit hired them and it
• 37:02
  validated their approach and philosophy.
• 37:05
  Well, that's just wrong.
• 37:10
  Not saying it's right,
• 37:12
  but I'm saying she has a point.
• 37:14
  Oh, she has a point.
• 37:15
  I get something is giving them the
• 37:18
  validation that they can just keep doing
• 37:20
  what they're doing,
• 37:21
  even though the whole world around them is
• 37:22
  saying it's wrong.
• 37:24
  Well,
• 37:24
  and signing off on it because it's not
• 37:27
  like the first time anybody saw those,
• 37:30
  saw those workouts from, from CrossFit,
• 37:32
  from HQ was at the games.
• 37:35
  Whatever they submitted had to be approved
• 37:37
  and sent out there and be like, yep,
• 37:39
  that's what we're doing.
• 37:41
  And just shipped out and called it good.
• 37:42
  Like,
• 37:44
  And this is not a one like, oh,
• 37:46
  no,
• 37:46
  we're not showing anybody our work until
• 37:48
  we get there type deal for your for
• 37:50
  the event that you hired us to do.
• 37:51
  Like, that's not a thing that's happening.
• 37:53
  Right.
• 37:55
  So people would look at it and went,
• 37:57
  yep, that looks good.
• 37:59
  Send it.
• 38:01
  And did it two years in a row.
• 38:04
  I talked to too many people.
• 38:09
  I had a conversation with a high-level
• 38:12
  official at CrossFit at the age group
• 38:14
  games, asked about the programming.
• 38:17
  Did you have oversight?
• 38:21
  From that conversation,
• 38:22
  I ascertained that their oversight was
• 38:28
  minimal at best.
• 38:34
  If that's the case,
• 38:35
  then that is a huge miss.
• 38:39
  Hugeness.
• 38:40
  That is Bob Uecker just a bit outside.
• 38:44
  It is.
• 38:46
  When CrossFit first gave up semifinals to
• 38:50
  other organizations,
• 38:51
  they took hard looks at their programming.
• 38:55
  Why can't they take a hard look to
• 38:57
  find the fittest on earth at the finals
• 38:59
  of the CrossFit Games?
• 39:01
  Right.
• 39:01
  It's ridiculous.
• 39:06
  I truly believe it's because of Lazar's
• 39:08
  death.
• 39:09
  They last year wanted to be so hands-off
• 39:13
  that none of that would stick to them.
• 39:15
  If anything went wrong anywhere.
• 39:19
  And then they only pro programmed the
• 39:21
  elite and the teams at the games.
• 39:24
  That was it.
• 39:24
  That's all their little box was.
• 39:26
  And everything outside of that was run by
• 39:28
  somebody else.
• 39:32
  That's my, so let's,
• 39:34
  Let's look at it this way.
• 39:35
  If that's the case,
• 39:36
  if they really were truly that hands-off,
• 39:40
  where they had very little minimal input
• 39:42
  and very little, like,
• 39:44
  they just kind of let them fly on
• 39:45
  their own, then first of all,
• 39:50
  that gives very, very much, like,
• 39:52
  still that they don't give a shit about
• 39:54
  Masters programming,
• 39:55
  because they're just like, yeah,
• 39:56
  you guys just do whatever you're going to
• 39:59
  do.
• 40:00
  It doesn't really matter.
• 40:01
  It's fine.
• 40:01
  And then
• 40:03
  There's no way they haven't heard all of
• 40:07
  the things that had been in the space
• 40:08
  since then, right?
• 40:09
  Hey, the programming was not good.
• 40:11
  It was too heavily biased.
• 40:13
  It was too this.
• 40:14
  It was too that.
• 40:14
  It was not enough of this, whatever.
• 40:18
  Is it a case of, OK,
• 40:26
  we signed this contract with y'all.
• 40:27
  Y'all have the games until twenty twenty
• 40:31
  six.
• 40:33
  Here's rope.
• 40:35
  Here's some more rope.
• 40:36
  Here's some more rope and see if you
• 40:38
  can hang yourself with it.
• 40:40
  And we'll reevaluate after twenty twenty
• 40:42
  six.
• 40:43
  That makes sense,
• 40:44
  like just kind of just let them go
• 40:46
  and let them see what's going to happen.
• 40:47
  And if it, you know,
• 40:50
  third time's the charm of however many how
• 40:52
  many years their contract is for.
• 40:54
  And after that, they just go, OK, yeah,
• 40:56
  we've got nothing but bitching this entire
• 40:58
  time.
• 40:58
  Y'all out.
• 40:59
  We're taking back over.
• 41:01
  A Chattanooga,
• 41:02
  why can't it be one program by Dave
• 41:04
  and then Pitt, Wheelwad and Masters Group,
• 41:07
  not Joe and Bob,
• 41:08
  can make the needed adjustments?
• 41:11
  To me,
• 41:11
  I think this is what makes the most
• 41:12
  sense.
• 41:14
  What is a better example of the
• 41:19
  methodology and showing that your workout
• 41:23
  does not change by intensity or weight?
• 41:27
  but by just scaling it back for the
• 41:30
  different divisions.
• 41:32
  And it would demonstrate that every day in
• 41:35
  the gym, we have the best, the elites,
• 41:39
  and we scale it back for all the
• 41:41
  other athletes in the gym so they can
• 41:44
  get the same stimulus, the same workout,
• 41:47
  and we run that across masters, teens,
• 41:49
  and adaptive.
• 41:52
  You do it for the Open,
• 41:53
  and you do it for quarterfinals.
• 41:56
  And you do it for the online semifinals.
• 41:58
  Everybody does the same workouts.
• 42:00
  All the time.
• 42:02
  Just scaled appropriately.
• 42:04
  Last year, we all did for semifinals.
• 42:06
  Everybody did heavy Isabel.
• 42:09
  I did heavy Isabel.
• 42:10
  Anybody else who did semifinals did heavy
• 42:12
  Isabel.
• 42:12
  But my heavy Isabel was one eighty five,
• 42:14
  not two twenty five.
• 42:16
  Because I was.
• 42:17
  Forty seven years old.
• 42:18
  Or forty eight years old.
• 42:18
  Or however old I was.
• 42:20
  They've done it on choice events.
• 42:21
  And it's worked out.
• 42:23
  Why not do the games that way.
• 42:25
  And show.
• 42:27
  This is what CrossFit is.
• 42:29
  You look at this and go.
• 42:30
  I could never do what these elite athletes
• 42:32
  do.
• 42:33
  Well let's watch the sixty five plus.
• 42:35
  Can you do what they do?
• 42:38
  Right.
• 42:39
  Right.
• 42:40
  Like.
• 42:42
  To me,
• 42:43
  that is actually the best way to tie
• 42:46
  back the methodology of CrossFit with the
• 42:50
  sport of CrossFit.
• 42:52
  Well, it brings everybody together.
• 42:54
  Right.
• 42:55
  It's just like being in a class setting.
• 42:57
  Everybody did the same workout today.
• 42:59
  And thirty-five to thirty-nine can
• 43:01
  probably do the elite version,
• 43:03
  and they can compare this.
• 43:04
  How far have I dropped off?
• 43:08
  I got news for you.
• 43:09
  Some of the forty-forty-fours came in too,
• 43:10
  Rudy Berger.
• 43:12
  True.
• 43:13
  Jamie Latimer.
• 43:15
  Jamie Latimer.
• 43:16
  Absolutely.
• 43:21
  If they did that,
• 43:22
  there would be more elites watching the
• 43:23
  Masters.
• 43:25
  Yeah,
• 43:25
  they'd want to see if any of them
• 43:26
  beat their score.
• 43:29
  My thing is about that, too,
• 43:31
  is that I just said this,
• 43:33
  but when you bring everybody together,
• 43:37
  everybody's doing the same thing.
• 43:38
  Now,
• 43:38
  it makes more sense for everybody to be
• 43:39
  in the same place.
• 43:41
  everybody's doing the same workout
• 43:43
  everybody's engaged more with each other
• 43:45
  now because hold up that forty three year
• 43:49
  old guy did what like yeah his score
• 43:52
  would have been good for fifteenth in the
• 43:55
  elite holy smokes because they don't know
• 43:59
  what we do we know what they do
• 44:01
  age group crossfit games they had a one
• 44:03
  rep max snatch
• 44:06
  the girl from New Zealand being coached by
• 44:08
  Justin Kotler who hit two sixty five or
• 44:11
  not two sixty five.
• 44:12
  I don't remember what a clean and jerk.
• 44:14
  It was clean jerk.
• 44:15
  Two sixty five clean and jerk at fourteen
• 44:17
  years old.
• 44:18
  That became the talk of every division
• 44:20
  that was there.
• 44:22
  Yeah.
• 44:23
  Holy shit.
• 44:24
  The only person that matched that girl was
• 44:26
  Christine Middleton in all divisions.
• 44:30
  And she was fourteen.
• 44:32
  That became the talk of the day.
• 44:35
  The same thing would happen with the games
• 44:37
  if elites were doing it,
• 44:38
  if teams were doing it,
• 44:40
  if divisions were doing it,
• 44:42
  even adaptives.
• 44:46
  The one negative to that is it's pretty
• 44:48
  depressing realizing how far one has
• 44:49
  fallen off, says Jeremy, but not him,
• 44:54
  of course.
• 44:56
  Shanna says it would be so fun to
• 44:58
  do what the elites do with scaling.
• 45:02
  That's the answer.
• 45:06
  have the have pit have wheel wad have
• 45:10
  legends scale the workouts hey this is
• 45:14
  what everybody's doing take this make it
• 45:18
  work for your division make it work for
• 45:20
  your division make it work for your
• 45:21
  division and then we go on about the
• 45:23
  rest of our day it's the problem is
• 45:25
  it's occam's reason right that the the
• 45:28
  simplest answer is often the right one but
• 45:30
  they they seem to not want to look
• 45:32
  at the simplest answer
• 45:35
  Everybody was so pumped at first when they
• 45:37
  were like, okay, well, I say pumped.
• 45:40
  Mixed reviews when, okay,
• 45:43
  they're separating from the games, right?
• 45:44
  Some people were excited because they're
• 45:46
  going to get their own show, you know,
• 45:48
  whatever.
• 45:49
  Some people like Jamie,
• 45:50
  who had just made it, was like, wait,
• 45:51
  now I don't get to, you know,
• 45:52
  compete on the same stage as everybody
• 45:54
  else, which is,
• 45:55
  I can also understand that.
• 45:57
  But this,
• 45:58
  as far as the programming aspect of it,
• 46:01
  it's the easiest, it's the simplest route.
• 46:04
  I wouldn't say it's the easiest,
• 46:05
  but it's definitely the simplest route.
• 46:07
  They can still be in charge of it.
• 46:08
  It can still be the Legends, Masters,
• 46:11
  CrossFit Games,
• 46:12
  or whatever the hell it's called.
• 46:14
  But it takes one thing off of their
• 46:16
  plate.
• 46:16
  Hey,
• 46:17
  instead of having to come up with all
• 46:18
  this original programming,
• 46:20
  this is what we're doing for the games.
• 46:23
  Make it work for your people.
• 46:26
  Because you know these age divisions,
• 46:28
  these age groups,
• 46:28
  what they can and can't do better than
• 46:29
  we can.
• 46:30
  Same thing with the teams.
• 46:32
  Especially the same thing with the
• 46:33
  adaptives.
• 46:34
  Can you imagine Ogo and them just rubbing
• 46:37
  their hands together, looking at stuff,
• 46:38
  going, oh yeah,
• 46:39
  I can make this so cool for the
• 46:41
  adaptives.
• 46:42
  And make it so awesome for them to
• 46:44
  start doing stuff.
• 46:46
  Larry says they wouldn't like a
• 46:47
  fifty-three-year-old out-snatching the
• 46:50
  elite.
• 46:51
  I disagree.
• 46:51
  Yes, they would.
• 46:53
  I disagree because it shows that CrossFit
• 46:56
  is working.
• 46:59
  And nobody complained when Sam Briggs was
• 47:02
  a Masters athlete beating everybody in
• 47:03
  events because Sam Briggs was a legend.
• 47:07
  The only reason it becomes an outlier
• 47:09
  beyond that is because those people didn't
• 47:12
  get to come up through the elites because
• 47:14
  CrossFit didn't exist for them.
• 47:17
  So it seems like an outlier.
• 47:19
  But as we develop as a methodology and
• 47:23
  a sport,
• 47:24
  more people are going to come up through
• 47:26
  the elites and...
• 47:30
  Jason Kalipa is going to snatch at forty
• 47:32
  eight years old better than some younger
• 47:35
  athletes.
• 47:36
  Right.
• 47:36
  I'm just throwing a name out there.
• 47:38
  I said,
• 47:38
  let's not probably use Jason Kalipa and
• 47:40
  snatch in the same.
• 47:41
  Yeah,
• 47:41
  I'm I'm I was just trying to quickly
• 47:45
  throw out a name,
• 47:46
  but that is about Amanda videos.
• 47:49
  The funniest thing I've ever seen.
• 47:51
  Oh, but no,
• 47:52
  I understand what you're saying.
• 47:54
  James Townend at fifty is still going to
• 47:56
  out clean and out snatch people in the
• 47:58
  elite division.
• 48:00
  everybody yes thank you mark phillips
• 48:03
  james townsend is a great example that
• 48:07
  dude is inside bro i don't understand how
• 48:10
  so much talent and so and and he's
• 48:12
  an awesome human being is just wrapped
• 48:14
  into one person like it doesn't seem fair
• 48:17
  dude he can jump out the gym he
• 48:20
  can clean like power clean like three
• 48:23
  seventy five four i don't know it's some
• 48:24
  ridiculous amount about snatch all that i
• 48:27
  do like
• 48:29
  That dude's amazing.
• 48:30
  I love James Thompson.
• 48:34
  Affiliates don't have master's
• 48:36
  programming, but they do have scaling.
• 48:38
  Oh, yeah, we do.
• 48:41
  You are somewhere with it.
• 48:44
  If you are, which John is,
• 48:45
  a master's athlete, you are an affiliate,
• 48:47
  and your coaches are not taking care of
• 48:49
  you every day to give you,
• 48:52
  then I would bring it up.
• 48:56
  Hey, man, I am.
• 48:57
  I'm a general analyst.
• 48:59
  What's that?
• 49:00
  Or find a gym that will.
• 49:02
  Or find a gym that will.
• 49:03
  One hundred percent.
• 49:05
  Shanna, scaling is master's programming.
• 49:08
  It is.
• 49:10
  To knowing what you can.
• 49:14
  What I can put somebody through who isn't
• 49:17
  who is a master's athlete,
• 49:18
  especially people that are older than I
• 49:20
  am,
• 49:21
  to make sure that they hit the stimulus
• 49:22
  and to make sure that they get a
• 49:23
  good workout of their day.
• 49:25
  Yeah.
• 49:27
  You need to.
• 49:28
  It would create a bit of buzz.
• 49:29
  People would be more motivated to go
• 49:31
  watch.
• 49:33
  I agree.
• 49:33
  I agree.
• 49:34
  Everybody's doing the same thing.
• 49:36
  Just scaled versions of it.
• 49:37
  Somebody had said earlier about the...
• 49:39
  Especially if you're all doing it in the
• 49:40
  same week, right?
• 49:42
  Yeah.
• 49:44
  Yeah, I understand.
• 49:45
  Well,
• 49:45
  it's like you said this a couple different
• 49:47
  times.
• 49:48
  Especially with the Masters not going at
• 49:49
  the same time, in between heats,
• 49:52
  you can put up highlights from what the
• 49:54
  Masters did
• 49:56
  Well,
• 49:56
  now if we're going from Tuesday to
• 49:59
  Thursday and everybody else is going from
• 50:02
  Friday or Thursday or whatever it is
• 50:04
  Friday now in between heats,
• 50:07
  not only are you putting up the scores
• 50:08
  from whoever just went in heat one.
• 50:11
  Now you're also comparing them to the
• 50:13
  scores from the masters that went earlier
• 50:15
  that week.
• 50:17
  Hey, man,
• 50:17
  like this dude just did this in the
• 50:20
  same event that you just did.
• 50:21
  And then wait to put it on close.
• 50:22
  You might want to pick it up a
• 50:24
  little bit.
• 50:27
  Like,
• 50:27
  I don't see very many downsides to that,
• 50:30
  especially if you're going to keep it like
• 50:32
  you're doing this coming year with the
• 50:34
  festival feel with it being, you know,
• 50:37
  eight days long or however long it is.
• 50:41
  Yeah,
• 50:41
  we misinterpreted John George's comment.
• 50:44
  He actually was saying that as a
• 50:45
  compliment.
• 50:46
  Affiliates don't have master's
• 50:48
  programming.
• 50:49
  They scale.
• 50:50
  They do the same as everybody else in
• 50:53
  the gym.
• 50:54
  Why would we do it differently at the
• 50:56
  games?
• 50:57
  Correct.
• 50:58
  My bad.
• 50:58
  It was time to talk about it.
• 50:59
  My fault, dude.
• 51:03
  And maybe the scaling is that the elites
• 51:05
  do twelve events and the masters do nine.
• 51:09
  And you just pick the three that you
• 51:11
  don't do.
• 51:12
  It's part of it.
• 51:13
  It has to be part of it.
• 51:14
  That could be part of the scaling that
• 51:16
  the volume of a twelve event weekend is
• 51:19
  not recommended for a masters age athlete.
• 51:22
  So you do nine of the twelve.
• 51:25
  And you decide what can you take out
• 51:27
  and still keep it well-rounded.
• 51:29
  One hundred percent.
• 51:35
  uh just like when in two twenty twenty
• 51:39
  two we all did the swim ski event
• 51:41
  and compared scores exactly exactly still
• 51:46
  i would love to do that uh ken
• 51:48
  walters our coaches have the rx on the
• 51:50
  board and then lists alongside each
• 51:52
  movement the scaling options and explains
• 51:54
  expected stimulus when making your choices
• 51:58
  exactly
• 52:00
  Yeah,
• 52:01
  and Train Olive has been all through the
• 52:02
  comments, but it's not always weight.
• 52:04
  It can be volume or skill level of
• 52:06
  the movement, exactly.
• 52:08
  And she said earlier,
• 52:09
  it gives masters aged athletes hope when
• 52:13
  you get to do the same things and
• 52:15
  kind of see where you stack up.
• 52:18
  Dude, as a massive athlete,
• 52:20
  as a competitive one,
• 52:21
  like I compete and whatnot,
• 52:23
  when the games workouts come out,
• 52:25
  like half the time,
• 52:26
  we'll try them at the gym.
• 52:27
  We don't do the weights that they do.
• 52:31
  we might cut some of the reps back
• 52:32
  but we try to get it as close
• 52:34
  to what they're doing as we can just
• 52:36
  to see because i have a lot of
• 52:38
  times they look fun yeah uh one hundred
• 52:43
  that also allows dave to keep something up
• 52:45
  his sleeve for elite it's because masters
• 52:47
  are going first if you pick nine some
• 52:50
  of the unknown and unknowable can be one
• 52:52
  those three that don't get done by masters
• 52:55
  right and then you still have the secrets
• 52:57
  for the people
• 53:05
  a whole different thing at that point uh
• 53:06
  jeremy uh twenty twenty one legends had
• 53:07
  ten events a part of my soul died
• 53:09
  that year he's still not okay about it
• 53:14
  you know i've had several conversations
• 53:15
  about twenty twenty one he's not he's
• 53:17
  still not okay with it uh train olive
• 53:20
  we do games rogue and wadapalooza workout
• 53:22
  scaled for us at my gym yeah i
• 53:26
  mean after the games every year when
• 53:28
  christy ran polaris
• 53:30
  we did a whole week of games,
• 53:32
  workouts the whole week after the games
• 53:36
  were all the games,
• 53:37
  workouts scaled for our community.
• 53:43
  And that was a fun week.
• 53:44
  Cause we all just watched the games and
• 53:47
  now we got to like,
• 53:48
  try out what it felt like to do
• 53:50
  those workouts to some degree.
• 53:53
  Right.
• 53:54
  Yeah.
• 53:55
  My program, I do Brandon programs.
• 53:58
  He programmed regionals Linda a couple of
• 53:59
  weeks ago.
• 54:01
  Like,
• 54:01
  he's programmed past or at least versions
• 54:04
  of past games events for us in the
• 54:07
  app to try out.
• 54:08
  Like, hey, I remember doing this, blah,
• 54:11
  blah, blah, whatever,
• 54:12
  and y'all go ahead and give it a
• 54:14
  shot and see what you think.
• 54:16
  And there's options to make it right for
• 54:19
  the individual, for you,
• 54:20
  make it right for Scott,
• 54:21
  make it right for me.
• 54:24
  I just don't understand why you wouldn't
• 54:26
  do that or why you would shy away
• 54:27
  from that.
• 54:28
  It doesn't make any sense to me.
• 54:31
  Well, we are over our time.
• 54:34
  This was today's lineup of stuff.
• 54:36
  And then Rich Froning came in the building
• 54:40
  with his news.
• 54:41
  So we didn't get to any of that.
• 54:43
  Let's go check that.
• 54:45
  Check that podcast out.
• 54:48
  But thank you, everybody, for being here.
• 54:50
  It's fun seeing all of your YouTube raps,
• 54:53
  seeing where we end up on that list.
• 54:55
  I'm still blown away that we're on any
• 54:58
  of those lists for anybody.
• 55:00
  When I started this six years ago,
• 55:03
  never in my wildest dreams that I think
• 55:05
  that I would sit here at lunch every
• 55:06
  day and have the coolest chat in...
• 55:10
  in CrossFit and in podcasting to get to
• 55:12
  hang out with every day.
• 55:14
  You guys are the best.
• 55:15
  Love you all.
• 55:17
  We will be here Sunday night where we'll
• 55:19
  talk about all this stuff from that
• 55:20
  happened this week.
• 55:22
  And we are doing our top five sports
• 55:24
  movies of all time.
• 55:26
  And we're going to take your input on
• 55:28
  that.
• 55:28
  And then the week after we are going
• 55:31
  to make a bracket and we're going to
• 55:32
  do a live poll and we're going to
• 55:35
  determine what is the greatest sports
• 55:37
  movie of all time.
• 55:39
  Hold on.
• 55:39
  If we're doing y'all doing that Sunday,
• 55:41
  I might have to pop in for that.
• 55:43
  I might stay.
• 55:44
  I might have to stay up late and
• 55:45
  show up for that one.
• 55:46
  Cause I have,
• 55:47
  I have a top five sports movies.
• 55:50
  So we're going to take your input and
• 55:51
  we're going to take all of our input
• 55:53
  and we're going to create a bracket in
• 55:54
  the following week.
• 55:56
  We're going to do live polls and we're
• 55:58
  going to determine what is the greatest
• 56:00
  sports movie of all time.
• 56:07
  Mark Phillips says Lady Bugs is in there.
• 56:09
  Okay.
• 56:10
  Not on my list.
• 56:13
  Ken Walters has got some good ones.
• 56:17
  Slapshot, Rudy, Rocky.
• 56:19
  Oh, damn.
• 56:20
  Warrior is good.
• 56:21
  I didn't even think of that one.
• 56:23
  Warrior is so good.
• 56:25
  Yeah.
• 56:26
  So get your list ready.
• 56:28
  Carolyn, Jamie,
• 56:29
  and I will give you our top five
• 56:31
  on Sunday.
• 56:32
  We're going to take your input in the
• 56:34
  chat.
• 56:35
  And then we're going to build the bracket.
• 56:38
  We're going to build the bracket.
• 56:40
  Remember the Titans.
• 56:41
  Nope, that's my fault.
• 56:46
  Lady Bugs is a classic.
• 56:47
  Damn,
• 56:47
  I would not put it in my top
• 56:49
  five.
• 56:49
  Oh my gosh, Ice Castles.
• 56:51
  Jody, that is old school.
• 56:56
  Robbie Benson?
• 56:58
  Robbie Benson, yeah.
• 57:01
  Holy smokes.
• 57:02
  How about Bend It Like Beckham?
• 57:04
  Hey, bring them.
• 57:08
  Bring them.
• 57:11
  Stop, Jody.
• 57:12
  No rom-coms.
• 57:13
  Hey,
• 57:14
  that girl was blind and still figure
• 57:15
  skated.
• 57:18
  Not even that one.
• 57:19
  What was the other one where the dude,
• 57:21
  the chick,
• 57:22
  that he was a hockey player and the
• 57:24
  chick was a figure skater and he had
• 57:25
  to learn how to figure skate?
• 57:27
  Cutting edge, man.
• 57:28
  One of the greatest movies of all time.
• 57:31
  What is it?
• 57:32
  Cutting Edge.
• 57:33
  Cutting Edge.
• 57:33
  Yes.
• 57:37
  Go pick.
• 57:38
  DB Sweeney and Miura Kelly.
• 57:45
  I mean,
• 57:45
  it's the Mighty Ducks and then whatever is
• 57:47
  second.
• 57:49
  Hoosiers.
• 57:52
  I mean, wait, nope.
• 57:55
  Something with Kevin Costner.
• 57:58
  Do CrossFit documentaries count?
• 58:02
  There's no rules to this.
• 58:04
  We got blades of glory.
• 58:05
  No one knows what it means,
• 58:09
  but it's provocative.
• 58:11
  The goon.
• 58:14
  Oh, my gosh.
• 58:15
  If that makes the bracket,
• 58:16
  I will be shocked.
• 58:18
  If you're going to have the goon,
• 58:19
  you got to have Happy Gilmore because it's
• 58:21
  two sides of the same coin.
• 58:24
  Seema says she just spit out her coffee
• 58:26
  at Topic.
• 58:26
  No.
• 58:30
  uh mystery alaska great russell crowe
• 58:33
  movie happy gilmore uh drink has good
• 58:40
  taste who brings up the goon oh my
• 58:47
  gosh kenneth that was a deep cut oh
• 58:51
  major league major leagues great
• 58:57
  What's the other one?
• 58:58
  Jenny says,
• 58:59
  I still say toe pick when someone trips
• 59:01
  and falls.
• 59:07
  Toe pick.
• 59:09
  Toe pick.
• 59:12
  Is that how you spell it?
• 59:13
  Sure.
• 59:14
  Why not?
• 59:16
  I don't check grammar here.
• 59:18
  Or take it with a sea biscuit.
• 59:19
  That's a great movie too.
• 59:22
  Megan, this is going to be fun.
• 59:27
  The Sandlot.
• 59:29
  It's going to be really tough to get
• 59:30
  it down.
• 59:31
  Like, my top five,
• 59:35
  I'm having a hard time getting to five.
• 59:38
  So hard.
• 59:40
  Dodgeball.
• 59:41
  Yes.
• 59:42
  Yes.
• 59:44
  This is going to be a love of
• 59:50
  the game.
• 59:54
  Coach Carter.
• 59:56
  Coach Carter.
• 59:59
  My All-American, Grater, Miracle,
• 1:00:02
  Benchwarmers, Air Bud.
• 1:00:06
  No.
• 1:00:08
  Caddyshack, Blue Chips, Any Given Sunday,
• 1:00:12
  Sandlot.
• 1:00:14
  Be the ball.
• 1:00:28
  Should divide into regions by genre.
• 1:00:30
  That's a good idea.
• 1:00:32
  That's not a terrible idea.
• 1:00:33
  Yeah.
• 1:00:34
  I'm the one putting together the bracket
• 1:00:36
  when we get all the input.
• 1:00:37
  So we'll kind of see where the votes
• 1:00:40
  are,
• 1:00:40
  and then I'll put together the bracket,
• 1:00:42
  and then we'll do the live voting.
• 1:00:43
  So you need,
• 1:00:49
  I think you could possibly do six votes.
• 1:00:54
  You do a baseball, football, basketball.
• 1:00:58
  I was thinking comedy, drama, rom-com.
• 1:01:02
  But it could be any of those, right?
• 1:01:05
  Yeah.
• 1:01:08
  Bad News Bears.
• 1:01:10
  The original, though.
• 1:01:11
  Yeah, not that remake bullshit.
• 1:01:13
  Brian song.
• 1:01:15
  It's not even the chat.
• 1:01:16
  It's mine.
• 1:01:17
  Biggest tearjerker.
• 1:01:18
  So you can do a tearjerker one,
• 1:01:19
  like the, the tearjerker one.
• 1:01:22
  I mean, that's, that's a greater, greater.
• 1:01:25
  Yeah.
• 1:01:25
  There's a lot of tearjerker ones.
• 1:01:31
  Vision quest.
• 1:01:33
  Vision quest is probably the best
• 1:01:35
  soundtrack.
• 1:01:36
  That in rock.
• 1:01:38
  Vision question.
• 1:01:39
  Or way up there.
• 1:01:41
  What did you say?
• 1:01:42
  And now I was going to say that
• 1:01:44
  Vision Quest is definitely up there as far
• 1:01:46
  as being a good movie and having one
• 1:01:49
  of the best soundtracks.
• 1:01:51
  I mean,
• 1:01:51
  that was just an eighties dude all the
• 1:01:52
  way.
• 1:01:54
  Talladega Nights.
• 1:01:56
  It doesn't hold a candle to Days of
• 1:01:58
  Thunder.
• 1:01:58
  Sorry.
• 1:01:59
  We've already determined that this week.
• 1:02:02
  The true story category,
• 1:02:05
  the big green Joanna man.
• 1:02:10
  The air up there, white men can't jump.
• 1:02:14
  You're going to put you on a man
• 1:02:15
  and you also have to put.
• 1:02:24
  Why can't it be Michael Jordan and Bugs
• 1:02:26
  Bunny?
• 1:02:28
  Space Jam.
• 1:02:29
  Space Jam.
• 1:02:30
  You have to have Space Jam in there.
• 1:02:31
  Yeah.
• 1:02:31
  Oh, yeah.
• 1:02:33
  No, not.
• 1:02:33
  Yeah.
• 1:02:34
  That's why I said Michael Jordan.
• 1:02:36
  The program, Chariots of Fire.
• 1:02:38
  Damn.
• 1:02:39
  See, you guys are ready already.
• 1:02:41
  We've got Sunday night.
• 1:02:48
  Without limits.
• 1:02:52
  Yeah.
• 1:02:52
  So you guys are all ready for Sunday
• 1:02:54
  night.
• 1:02:55
  It's going to be fire.
• 1:02:57
  I remember thinking the first time I saw
• 1:02:59
  Chariots of Fire,
• 1:03:00
  or the first three times,
• 1:03:02
  because it used to be on regular TV
• 1:03:04
  all the time,
• 1:03:05
  that it was the longest movie I'd ever
• 1:03:07
  seen in my entire life,
• 1:03:08
  because every time I watched it,
• 1:03:09
  they were just training,
• 1:03:10
  and it was playing that song,
• 1:03:11
  and I would just run it.
• 1:03:14
  Cool runnings.
• 1:03:16
  I don't know how we narrow it down.
• 1:03:18
  People are going to be screaming at their
• 1:03:19
  monitors on Sunday.
• 1:03:21
  There'll be a lot of...
• 1:03:27
  There's going to be a lot of frustration
• 1:03:29
  going on.
