• 1:21
  With that, what's going on, guys?
• 1:23
  Slow weekend?
• 1:26
  Slow.
• 1:30
  Not as slow as I would like.
• 1:32
  My goodness.
• 1:32
  I need more hours.
• 1:35
  So what are you working on?
• 1:38
  Tell the people.
• 1:40
  We are like completely remodeling the gym.
• 1:42
  Basically like flopping the layout.
• 1:47
  Got the turf laid yesterday.
• 1:49
  And what color is that turf?
• 1:53
  It's purple.
• 1:54
  It is purple.
• 1:55
  Purple turf.
• 1:57
  When I saw that, I was like, dang,
• 1:59
  that fits your gym.
• 2:01
  Yeah,
• 2:02
  that's been the color scheme for the gym.
• 2:05
  And I didn't really want to
• 2:06
  mess with the branding and change it.
• 2:08
  Purple is not at all one of
• 2:10
  my favorite colors.
• 2:13
  I would have went with green, of course.
• 2:15
  But yeah,
• 2:16
  purple's been the branding and we
• 2:17
  have like so much merch and
• 2:19
  just shirts and stuff that it made sense.
• 2:23
  And it is really sharp on the turf.
• 2:24
  Like it's really cool.
• 2:25
  So as I get things a little further along,
• 2:27
  I'll
• 2:28
  I've been trying to take
• 2:29
  pictures of stages and I'm
• 2:30
  put together real so all
• 2:32
  that will be out you guys
• 2:32
  can see the transformation
• 2:35
  what I'm interested to see
• 2:36
  is how how clean the purple
• 2:38
  stays looking compared to
• 2:40
  the green because it's a
• 2:42
  little deeper darker maybe
• 2:43
  it's it looks cleaner
• 2:45
  longer I'm anxious to see
• 2:46
  what that that what comes of that yeah
• 2:50
  did you guys get other
• 2:51
  equipment as well for, uh,
• 2:53
  like during this remodeling
• 2:55
  or just moving things around?
• 2:57
  Well, we got a whole new rig.
• 3:01
  Um, other than that, equipment wise, no,
• 3:04
  um, no, nothing major equipment wise.
• 3:07
  I mean, a couple of ropes, right.
• 3:11
  To like hang from, cause we got like,
• 3:14
  twelve foot posts with
• 3:15
  three foot extensions.
• 3:17
  So with the,
• 3:18
  a frame off we can hang
• 3:22
  ropes or rings or whatever
• 3:25
  uh nicole sherman said it
• 3:26
  looks really nice with the
• 3:27
  graffiti wall behind it
• 3:29
  yeah nicole came to class
• 3:31
  today uh denise wants to
• 3:35
  know what is different
• 3:36
  about the rig why the new one
• 3:38
  so we had a middle not even
• 3:41
  middle of the floor it was
• 3:44
  two-thirds over in the
• 3:45
  floor freestanding yep um
• 3:48
  and it's again I bought
• 3:49
  this gym a couple years ago
• 3:51
  and it's like everything's
• 3:52
  been pieced together um
• 3:54
  some there was like some pieces of
• 3:58
  get our extra rig some
• 4:00
  pieces of rogue rig some
• 4:01
  pieces of like most of the
• 4:03
  rig was like hand welded by
• 4:07
  a member like eight years
• 4:08
  ago and the holes didn't
• 4:10
  line up it's very shaky and
• 4:12
  when we get like eight
• 4:13
  people on it it doesn't
• 4:14
  feel safe um so we actually
• 4:17
  bought new rig with three
• 4:19
  by three posts and um it's
• 4:23
  gonna be a wall mounted rig
• 4:25
  hopefully to open up the
• 4:26
  space a little bit more so
• 4:29
  And you don't have that up yet.
• 4:30
  That's like one of the final stages.
• 4:32
  Yeah.
• 4:34
  So lots of burpees and
• 4:36
  double-unders and box jumps for now.
• 4:39
  Yep, exactly.
• 4:40
  I know tomorrow's supposed
• 4:41
  to have pull-ups, so I don't know.
• 4:42
  I think it's going to just be push-ups.
• 4:43
  I need to go in and change that workout.
• 4:47
  Sumo deadlift high pull.
• 4:48
  Let's go.
• 4:49
  Keep it a pulling motion.
• 4:50
  There you go.
• 4:54
  Already rowing,
• 4:54
  so that'd be a lot of that movement.
• 4:57
  Yeah.
• 4:58
  okay uh Denise says nice
• 5:00
  safety first yeah yeah your
• 5:02
  your rig did rock when yeah
• 5:05
  I mean even when like two
• 5:07
  of us were on it it rocked
• 5:08
  like imagine when we get
• 5:10
  like some of the heavy the
• 5:12
  rig shakers on there holy
• 5:13
  smokes yeah yeah well
• 5:17
  that's cool um projected
• 5:20
  ETA of finishing end of the week
• 5:24
  I mean, yeah,
• 5:24
  I'm going to go back there tonight.
• 5:25
  So if I shut off on you guys,
• 5:27
  it's because I'm leaving at nine.
• 5:28
  I promised Aaron I would leave at nine.
• 5:30
  So we're going to do some
• 5:31
  more mats tonight and then
• 5:34
  maybe tomorrow start the rig.
• 5:38
  I don't know.
• 5:38
  It's tough because you don't
• 5:39
  want to like start
• 5:40
  something that's going to
• 5:40
  mess up the flow in there
• 5:42
  when I need to have classes
• 5:43
  Thursday and Friday and Saturday.
• 5:47
  So.
• 5:48
  We don't want to do too much
• 5:49
  until Saturday, but we'll do some tonight,
• 5:52
  see what we can do tomorrow
• 5:54
  since we're closed.
• 5:55
  The other thing is there's
• 5:56
  some really unlevel spots in the floor.
• 6:00
  I don't know what they did before.
• 6:02
  There's like a pipe sticking
• 6:03
  up that like it's trying to
• 6:05
  like cut through the mats
• 6:06
  like it's it's like sharp
• 6:07
  and it's like breaking
• 6:08
  through one of the mats.
• 6:09
  So that needs to be grinded down.
• 6:11
  Another section has a really
• 6:12
  low spot that is like you
• 6:13
  feel like you're going to
• 6:14
  trip if you're walking through there.
• 6:16
  You can't jump rope in there.
• 6:17
  You can't lunge through there.
• 6:19
  So like there's like four
• 6:20
  mats that need to be pulled
• 6:21
  and like leveled out.
• 6:23
  Aaron's trying to decide
• 6:24
  what he wants to use.
• 6:25
  So we're going to do that
• 6:26
  probably tomorrow so that I can cure over
• 6:30
  new year's day and then
• 6:31
  we'll just keep it roped
• 6:32
  off on thursday uh lex who
• 6:37
  is our next topic are you
• 6:39
  working out on top of this
• 6:40
  too jamie or does labor count
• 6:42
  so I I didn't do anything
• 6:45
  yesterday well we were
• 6:46
  there literally all day
• 6:47
  yesterday I left at twelve
• 6:48
  thirty in the morning um
• 6:50
  and I woke up this morning
• 6:51
  in so much pain like my
• 6:53
  back hurts so bad it's it's
• 6:55
  not even funny so I did not
• 6:56
  work out today I I did lift
• 6:58
  with noon um but they did
• 7:00
  dt and I was like
• 7:01
  absolutely not so and I I
• 7:04
  just did dt like two weeks ago
• 7:06
  So I just, I was like, I'm good.
• 7:09
  And plus I'm going back tonight.
• 7:10
  I will probably work out in
• 7:12
  tomorrow's class.
• 7:13
  It's like a partner workout,
• 7:15
  twenty minute thing.
• 7:16
  So I will probably do tomorrow's.
• 7:17
  But yeah,
• 7:19
  I'm trying to be OK with all the
• 7:22
  bending over and lifting and moving stuff,
• 7:24
  counting as a workout.
• 7:25
  It is hard for me because, you know,
• 7:27
  I like to do like longer.
• 7:29
  I like to just do more metabolic things.
• 7:33
  Yeah.
• 7:33
  More hinging with DT
• 7:34
  probably was smart not to do that.
• 7:39
  But if it's safe, you know, yeah,
• 7:41
  it'd be fun to get it in.
• 7:42
  Denise wants to know,
• 7:43
  did you get med ball targets?
• 7:44
  I didn't get any.
• 7:45
  I have five or six.
• 7:48
  We actually had more for the
• 7:50
  rig that we had that weren't up.
• 7:53
  So we're going to see how
• 7:54
  that all works out.
• 7:57
  If I need to get more of those or not.
• 7:59
  And Craig is looking forward
• 8:00
  to the gym tour video.
• 8:01
  Thanks, Craig.
• 8:01
  Yeah,
• 8:01
  I'll put something together for you guys.
• 8:05
  So speaking of Lex,
• 8:06
  yesterday was her birthday.
• 8:07
  Happy birthday to Lex.
• 8:09
  And Carolyn,
• 8:10
  you got to hang out with her
• 8:11
  for her birthday.
• 8:12
  Anything fun and special?
• 8:15
  We went out to eat.
• 8:17
  She had one of her best
• 8:18
  friends come down that she
• 8:19
  doesn't get to see very often.
• 8:21
  And we basically hung out
• 8:22
  the whole day there.
• 8:24
  Did a little birthday one.
• 8:26
  We attempted this thing
• 8:28
  that's popular on TikTok or something.
• 8:31
  One of the days,
• 8:32
  like it was like the day
• 8:33
  before her birthday,
• 8:34
  where we go to target and
• 8:36
  We each have to pick out
• 8:38
  something in the other
• 8:40
  person's favorite color,
• 8:43
  in something that they need,
• 8:45
  their favorite snack,
• 8:46
  something that we can do together.
• 8:48
  And let's just say it was an
• 8:50
  epic fail on my part.
• 8:51
  It was basically for both of
• 8:54
  our birthdays because mine's January six.
• 8:57
  And we're like, okay,
• 8:57
  we're going to do this together.
• 8:59
  It's going to be really cool.
• 9:00
  She had everything planned at Target.
• 9:03
  She knew everything to go.
• 9:04
  And I was there for like,
• 9:08
  Mine was not that great.
• 9:10
  I basically just gave a
• 9:11
  bunch of different things
• 9:12
  and I'm not creative with
• 9:14
  that kind of stuff.
• 9:17
  Yeah,
• 9:17
  we just had pedicures and what else
• 9:19
  did we do?
• 9:20
  Nothing too crazy.
• 9:21
  It's so close to Christmas.
• 9:24
  We did a lot of stuff.
• 9:27
  Yeah.
• 9:28
  My birthday is Wednesday.
• 9:30
  So I have that one week after Christmas.
• 9:33
  You and Lex know what that's all about.
• 9:36
  The birthday Christmas,
• 9:37
  my wife's is one week before,
• 9:38
  mine's one week after.
• 9:40
  It's all jammed into one time of the year.
• 9:43
  It really stinks.
• 9:44
  One,
• 9:47
  I want to make it more special for my
• 9:48
  wife on her birthday,
• 9:50
  but it seems like you're
• 9:50
  just cramming it in because
• 9:52
  of all the holiday stuff going on.
• 9:54
  And I know she feels the
• 9:55
  same way about me.
• 9:58
  only nice thing is I get my
• 10:00
  birthday off every year
• 10:01
  because it's new year's day
• 10:02
  um and so we do have a
• 10:04
  little bit of stuff planned
• 10:06
  for wednesday I can't wait
• 10:08
  um my best friend told me
• 10:09
  about a new wing place that
• 10:11
  just opened up near our
• 10:12
  house and uh supposed to be
• 10:14
  the best wings in town and
• 10:15
  I man chicken wings are
• 10:17
  number one on my list of
• 10:19
  foods all time and uh so
• 10:23
  that is my plan for birthday
• 10:25
  Denise says happy birthday
• 10:26
  to everyone except Jamie.
• 10:30
  Mine's October.
• 10:31
  Aaron's is January tenth.
• 10:32
  So we we know how that goes.
• 10:34
  Yep.
• 10:36
  Yeah.
• 10:36
  Oh, yeah.
• 10:37
  Like I said here that we're
• 10:40
  going we're going to go see
• 10:41
  a Broadway show in in Toronto in January.
• 10:45
  We're going to go see
• 10:46
  Hamilton during the holidays here.
• 10:48
  But the prices were so
• 10:49
  expensive this during the holidays.
• 10:51
  Everyone's off and
• 10:53
  were waiting for the price
• 10:54
  to come down and we ended
• 10:55
  up just going um we're
• 10:57
  gonna go see the lion king
• 10:59
  in january in toronto when
• 11:00
  she comes to toronto lion
• 11:02
  king is so good I have
• 11:04
  heard good things about
• 11:05
  that so good the opening is
• 11:06
  worth the price of
• 11:08
  admission awesome so we're
• 11:10
  looking forward to that um
• 11:12
  also part of our birthday stuff
• 11:14
  We looked at what's coming
• 11:16
  to Columbus and Hamilton's
• 11:18
  going to be here this
• 11:19
  summer here in Columbus.
• 11:21
  And then there's,
• 11:24
  this is going to be my wife
• 11:25
  and I both love Neil diamond.
• 11:28
  It's a corny thing that we really love,
• 11:29
  but he has a musical out now that's based,
• 11:32
  that's based on his music.
• 11:34
  And it's coming to Columbus
• 11:35
  in April or may.
• 11:38
  So we may,
• 11:39
  we may hit that one up this year.
• 11:42
  uh, Jody agrees.
• 11:43
  The opening for Lion King is epic.
• 11:46
  It is like, it is breathtaking.
• 11:48
  I can't wait for you guys to
• 11:49
  see it and hear what your
• 11:51
  impressions are.
• 11:52
  It's so good.
• 11:53
  And Toronto is like
• 11:55
  Toronto's built for Broadway.
• 11:56
  Like they have like Toronto's the second,
• 12:00
  from what I understand in the world,
• 12:01
  if you can't get to Broadway,
• 12:02
  Toronto is the place to go see a show.
• 12:04
  Cause it is like the second
• 12:06
  best place to see it in the world.
• 12:09
  Um,
• 12:10
  so and then ken walters is
• 12:13
  uh january thirteenth so we
• 12:15
  have a lot of birthdays
• 12:16
  happening um going on
• 12:17
  around here uh kat actually
• 12:19
  saw a stomp last week in
• 12:21
  philly man that's a long
• 12:24
  run yeah stomp's been
• 12:28
  around for what twenty
• 12:29
  years now wow crazy
• 12:33
  Yeah, I did have a bone to pick with you.
• 12:35
  I'm not going to do it tonight.
• 12:36
  But you made me watch the Madness show,
• 12:40
  which was a complete
• 12:41
  colossal waste of my time.
• 12:43
  It really was.
• 12:45
  Oh, my gosh.
• 12:46
  It started out so good.
• 12:47
  Like, verse two, three, I was like, okay,
• 12:49
  this is going to be good.
• 12:51
  I was not thrilled.
• 12:54
  I said to my, I went,
• 12:55
  we had dinner with friends
• 12:56
  last night and I was like,
• 12:57
  have you guys seen the madness?
• 12:58
  And you're like, well,
• 12:59
  it was good until it wasn't.
• 13:00
  Yeah.
• 13:01
  I couldn't describe it better.
• 13:03
  It just, it was good until it wasn't.
• 13:05
  Yep.
• 13:07
  Oh, so bad.
• 13:09
  I was so mad at you guys for
• 13:10
  making me start that.
• 13:13
  I, I should have.
• 13:14
  You and Lex are the ones
• 13:15
  that started me on this.
• 13:17
  But we were only a couple episodes in.
• 13:19
  I didn't update you and say, hey,
• 13:21
  not going to end.
• 13:22
  Don't watch.
• 13:22
  This is the last thing I'm going to say.
• 13:26
  The intricate detail of what
• 13:27
  wasn't important compared
• 13:29
  to the lack of detail of
• 13:31
  what was important by the
• 13:32
  time you got to the end of
• 13:33
  the story was mind-blowing.
• 13:35
  Yes.
• 13:38
  Agreed.
• 13:41
  Don't even finish it.
• 13:41
  Do not start it.
• 13:42
  Do not finish it.
• 13:44
  It goes off the rails completely.
• 13:47
  Everything you've learned.
• 13:49
  I watched the Beast Games
• 13:51
  yesterday for the first time.
• 13:52
  Have you guys watched any of that?
• 13:54
  I saw it, but I didn't watch it.
• 13:57
  How is it?
• 13:59
  It's very dramatic, but I mean,
• 14:01
  I'm into it now.
• 14:03
  There's just a few episodes
• 14:04
  that we've watched so far.
• 14:08
  People have a lot of trust
• 14:09
  in people that they don't know.
• 14:11
  I'd be taking a lot of money.
• 14:15
  I mentioned this on the
• 14:16
  lunch show today is that
• 14:18
  the NFL killed it on Netflix on Christmas,
• 14:20
  right?
• 14:21
  The ratings were through the roof.
• 14:25
  Streaming seems to be like
• 14:26
  the place for event programming to go.
• 14:30
  Doesn't it make sense that
• 14:32
  CrossFit try to get on a
• 14:34
  streaming service as
• 14:36
  opposed to an ESPN where
• 14:38
  you can get their marketing
• 14:40
  arm behind it?
• 14:41
  Because I was talking to Pat
• 14:43
  Midgley today and like the
• 14:47
  physical one hundred was on Netflix,
• 14:49
  this Japanese show that was super niche,
• 14:52
  but it got Netflix
• 14:53
  marketing arm and it did really,
• 14:55
  really well.
• 14:55
  Yep.
• 14:56
  Right.
• 14:57
  Like that's the partnership
• 14:59
  I think CrossFit needs to
• 15:00
  get a Netflix or a Peacock
• 15:03
  or like if the new tour, for instance,
• 15:06
  with the twenty signed
• 15:07
  athletes did a series of
• 15:09
  the whole year with those
• 15:11
  athletes that stay the same that,
• 15:12
  you know,
• 15:13
  will be at each of these
• 15:13
  competitions like that
• 15:15
  would draw a lot of people
• 15:17
  towards the sport.
• 15:20
  yeah I I just it came to me
• 15:23
  when I was reading this
• 15:24
  article about the nfl
• 15:25
  killing it in the tyson
• 15:26
  paul fight and that that
• 15:29
  they're going for this
• 15:29
  event programming um and
• 15:32
  what better than like the
• 15:33
  crossfit games or the wfp
• 15:35
  to like follow these
• 15:36
  athletes through a season
• 15:38
  um beginning to end and
• 15:40
  yeah and wwe's going to netflix so
• 15:47
  And the streaming services
• 15:48
  are looking for those event
• 15:49
  type things to sign up
• 15:51
  because they're doing so well.
• 15:55
  But anyway, that wasn't even in our plans.
• 15:59
  And neither was this.
• 16:00
  But as I was doing my live
• 16:01
  to kind of promote the show,
• 16:03
  I ran across this.
• 16:04
  So this is hot off the presses.
• 16:06
  Someone that helped me out
• 16:07
  big time at the Masters
• 16:09
  CrossFit Games made an
• 16:10
  announcement today.
• 16:13
  And that is Ellie Hiller has
• 16:17
  announced that she's pregnant.
• 16:19
  Yeah.
• 16:21
  Yeah.
• 16:21
  I feel like that got leaked
• 16:23
  like two weeks ago.
• 16:26
  I didn't hear until I just saw it.
• 16:28
  Oh, I meant to tell you that.
• 16:30
  Yeah.
• 16:31
  So congratulations to Ellie.
• 16:33
  She was a big help at the
• 16:34
  Masters CrossFit Games,
• 16:36
  getting us interviews and
• 16:37
  super happy for her and her
• 16:38
  husband that they are with child.
• 16:42
  So super cool there.
• 16:45
  now to our regular rundown
• 16:48
  um lions are on tonight
• 16:49
  you're like are they even
• 16:50
  starting anybody yeah yeah
• 16:52
  they're playing the forty
• 16:53
  niners carolyn was supposed
• 16:54
  to go I know but they're
• 16:56
  not there it doesn't even
• 16:58
  it doesn't even matter if
• 16:59
  they win or lose because
• 16:59
  next week means everything
• 17:01
  yeah once they were out of
• 17:02
  the picture I felt less
• 17:07
  inclined to go because I
• 17:07
  don't know what players are
• 17:08
  gonna be playing and then
• 17:11
  they still been going for a
• 17:12
  playoff spot then that
• 17:13
  would have been really
• 17:14
  exciting to go watch but
• 17:15
  not this time we've uh
• 17:17
  we'll go another time uh so
• 17:22
  oh she announced it on
• 17:23
  glinton things a few weeks
• 17:24
  ago that's how far behind the times I am
• 17:32
  Um, so the first thing we have up is, uh,
• 17:35
  the WFP world fitness
• 17:37
  project has been on two talk shows.
• 17:40
  They've made some announcements and, uh,
• 17:43
  we can do a rundown of details.
• 17:44
  I wanted to get your
• 17:45
  impressions as athletes.
• 17:47
  Um,
• 17:48
  Kat and I talked about it on the round
• 17:49
  table briefly,
• 17:50
  but neither one of us
• 17:51
  competed a high level.
• 17:52
  So our,
• 17:54
  our perception of this is going to
• 17:55
  be different than yours.
• 17:57
  First,
• 17:57
  we now know who kind of is running
• 18:00
  the show.
• 18:01
  It is Isabella Terry and Jackson Terry,
• 18:04
  both co-founders of Good Life.
• 18:08
  Isabella is the executive director.
• 18:10
  Jackson is the director of operations.
• 18:12
  Will Morad is the director of sport.
• 18:16
  Jason Ansley is the event
• 18:18
  director for North America.
• 18:20
  He did the first four Monster Games.
• 18:24
  That is his experience.
• 18:26
  Roger Nilsson is the event
• 18:28
  director for Europe.
• 18:30
  He is with the Wadla Group,
• 18:32
  but he is best known for
• 18:33
  the Norwegian throwdown
• 18:34
  went back in the sanctional time.
• 18:38
  He put that together.
• 18:39
  And then Ryan Husband,
• 18:42
  Director of Business Development,
• 18:43
  founder of LRX Apparel,
• 18:45
  actually from right here in Columbus.
• 18:48
  I met him when he first
• 18:49
  started his company.
• 18:51
  He used to go from gym to
• 18:52
  gym and set up tables
• 18:54
  selling his apparel.
• 18:56
  And he used to come to Shred
• 18:57
  when I was a member there
• 18:59
  and got to meet him early
• 19:01
  on in his career.
• 19:01
  And then his wife, Maggie Husband,
• 19:04
  is the Director of Logistics.
• 19:07
  So those are the players
• 19:08
  that we are working with currently.
• 19:11
  Spin posted something today
• 19:13
  about an investor, I think.
• 19:15
  I didn't have time to read
• 19:16
  the article or anything yet.
• 19:18
  So I've read...
• 19:20
  So Dense Updates had
• 19:21
  something on it first.
• 19:23
  Then Barbell Spin got more detail with it.
• 19:25
  But it's just who the money is.
• 19:28
  And she's actually a Masters athlete.
• 19:30
  She competed at the Masters
• 19:31
  CrossFit Games in the sixty
• 19:33
  to sixty five year old division.
• 19:34
  Sixty sixty four division.
• 19:37
  And and so she's she's loves CrossFit.
• 19:41
  She's all about CrossFit.
• 19:44
  And apparently her and her
• 19:46
  husband are the people
• 19:47
  putting up the money.
• 19:48
  Yeah.
• 19:49
  Well, and they're Isabella and Jackson's,
• 19:54
  they're Isabella's parents.
• 19:57
  Oh, that part I did not see.
• 19:58
  That's the connection.
• 19:59
  So they're the money and they're like,
• 20:03
  they don't, I mean, yeah,
• 20:04
  it's all in that article.
• 20:05
  They've donated a bunch to the Hawaiian,
• 20:08
  that Kalea Foundation.
• 20:11
  They put up the money, I feel like,
• 20:13
  for this good life company
• 20:15
  to start and now they're
• 20:17
  So Good Life's been around a while.
• 20:20
  And it's actually spelled L-Y-F-E.
• 20:22
  Yes.
• 20:24
  And it is a non-profit
• 20:26
  religious organization.
• 20:29
  And
• 20:31
  when we were at one church
• 20:33
  that was the middle school
• 20:35
  like organization that ran
• 20:38
  all the um camps and stuff
• 20:41
  like that for our middle
• 20:42
  school um and my daughter
• 20:44
  went to that one summer uh
• 20:46
  she went to good life and
• 20:47
  she went to camp and did
• 20:48
  all that stuff so I'd
• 20:49
  actually heard of them for
• 20:50
  a while um but where they
• 20:53
  have the money is they
• 20:54
  actually own like other
• 20:55
  businesses good life is
• 20:56
  just their non-profit
• 20:58
  um and spin actually spells
• 21:00
  out what business they own
• 21:03
  um I'll try to pull it up
• 21:03
  just so I can it came in so
• 21:06
  last minute I thought we'd
• 21:07
  talk about it later I'm
• 21:09
  gonna be right back I'm
• 21:10
  gonna keep it I'm gonna
• 21:11
  take my camera off because
• 21:12
  I'm gonna go upstairs for
• 21:13
  uh the rest of this call okay um so
• 21:25
  Uh, Beth Gillette is the, is the,
• 21:28
  the masters athlete.
• 21:30
  Uh,
• 21:30
  she placed thirteenth in her division
• 21:32
  at the masters CrossFit games.
• 21:35
  Um, she, she, they're the owner.
• 21:39
  She's the owner, CEO,
• 21:40
  owner of power grid services.
• 21:42
  That's it.
• 21:43
  Yeah.
• 21:43
  They do the overhead distribution,
• 21:46
  construction, maintenance, transmission,
• 21:47
  line construction,
• 21:48
  and right of way clearing
• 21:49
  and vegetation management
• 21:51
  for utility companies
• 21:52
  across the Eastern United States.
• 21:56
  And that's where the money is.
• 21:58
  Yeah.
• 22:00
  Yeah.
• 22:02
  She also before she did
• 22:05
  something else big before that even.
• 22:08
  But yeah,
• 22:08
  that's where the money's coming from now.
• 22:13
  So.
• 22:15
  Yeah.
• 22:15
  So Beth Gillette is the person behind it.
• 22:20
  Yep.
• 22:24
  Yeah.
• 22:27
  Yeah.
• 22:28
  If they're putting forth
• 22:29
  what we think is fifteen million dollars,
• 22:32
  that's decent money.
• 22:35
  Yeah.
• 22:35
  And I mean,
• 22:35
  it sounds like they're the sole
• 22:36
  investors right now.
• 22:38
  And it's been said on both
• 22:40
  interviews that they have
• 22:41
  other investors ready to come in.
• 22:43
  Yeah.
• 22:43
  Waiting for the need for that right now.
• 22:45
  They don't need it right now.
• 22:47
  So.
• 22:47
  Right.
• 22:49
  Um, so Will Morad used to coach, um,
• 22:52
  Jackson Terry.
• 22:54
  Uh,
• 22:54
  he was his personal coach and did
• 22:56
  programming for him.
• 22:57
  And then they actually hired
• 22:59
  will to work for good life.
• 23:02
  Eighteen months ago.
• 23:04
  And since that time they've
• 23:05
  been talking about some
• 23:07
  other stuff and it morphed
• 23:08
  into eventually what we
• 23:10
  have now is the WFP.
• 23:12
  So Jackson Terry is married
• 23:14
  to Isabella Terry.
• 23:15
  Isabella Terry is the
• 23:16
  daughter of Beth Gillette.
• 23:18
  So that's how the connections come.
• 23:19
  And then Will was the
• 23:22
  personal trainer for
• 23:24
  Jackson Terry and did his
• 23:26
  programming for a while.
• 23:31
  Yep.
• 23:31
  And again, like Carolyn said,
• 23:33
  they're big with the Kalia Foundation.
• 23:36
  And Will's been in Hawaii a
• 23:37
  lot this last few months.
• 23:39
  So, yeah.
• 23:41
  Yeah.
• 23:44
  But that's about what we know for there.
• 23:52
  They came in with a
• 23:52
  non-exclusive attitude.
• 23:54
  So this is a non-exclusive deal.
• 23:56
  When you're signing your contract,
• 23:58
  you can do both the WFP and
• 24:00
  the CrossFit Games season.
• 24:03
  They're trying not to beat down athletes.
• 24:05
  Qualifiers are going to be three workouts.
• 24:08
  Tour events are going to be six workouts.
• 24:09
  Finals are going to be nine workouts.
• 24:14
  Twenty men, twenty women with a pro card,
• 24:16
  ten challengers selected
• 24:17
  from a qualifier to compete
• 24:19
  in the pro division.
• 24:21
  They will also have a
• 24:21
  challenger division at the same event.
• 24:24
  Challenger division,
• 24:25
  you can still earn points,
• 24:27
  but first place in the
• 24:28
  challenger division is less
• 24:30
  points than last place in
• 24:31
  the pro division.
• 24:35
  I'm really curious how
• 24:36
  they're going to do the
• 24:37
  points during the season.
• 24:40
  how much is what placing is worth,
• 24:42
  what points and all of that.
• 24:43
  Just very curious about that.
• 24:44
  Like how hard is it to lose
• 24:46
  your top twenty card or how
• 24:50
  hard is it to actually gain one?
• 24:51
  Like, yeah, if that makes sense.
• 24:54
  Yeah,
• 24:54
  that question was asked and not
• 24:55
  answered well at all.
• 24:57
  Yeah.
• 24:57
  Well,
• 24:57
  I think they they did say they're
• 24:59
  still stress testing the point system.
• 25:02
  They're they're grabbing
• 25:03
  existing leaderboards from
• 25:04
  other events to see and
• 25:06
  throwing it into the points
• 25:07
  to see how it affects it.
• 25:12
  So yeah,
• 25:14
  but this is not a brand new concept.
• 25:18
  Golf and tennis have used a
• 25:20
  point system forever.
• 25:21
  I can't see why you wouldn't
• 25:23
  just grab an existing point
• 25:26
  system for a tour event,
• 25:28
  whether it be golf or tennis or whatever,
• 25:31
  and scale it for what you're doing.
• 25:36
  That doesn't seem that complicated to me.
• 25:39
  I mean, golf's been doing it for thirty,
• 25:41
  forty years.
• 25:43
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 25:44
  It seemed it seems to me
• 25:46
  like it's going to be the
• 25:49
  fact that there's the more
• 25:51
  points awarded.
• 25:53
  I just feel like it's going
• 25:54
  to be very hard to move up.
• 25:57
  Well,
• 25:58
  if you can get one of the ten
• 25:59
  qualifier spots, I don't think it's hard.
• 26:03
  Sure.
• 26:03
  But say you're eleventh all the time.
• 26:07
  You're just missing that.
• 26:08
  You're just missing that.
• 26:10
  And it could be if it's three workouts,
• 26:12
  it's probably going to be
• 26:13
  workout dependent.
• 26:15
  And I don't love that.
• 26:18
  So then maybe the point
• 26:19
  spread shouldn't be like if
• 26:21
  it becomes workout dependent,
• 26:23
  the point spread shouldn't be greater.
• 26:28
  Let's be realistic.
• 26:30
  Of the people that have been announced,
• 26:31
  and we'll show that in a second,
• 26:33
  because there were two more
• 26:34
  this afternoon,
• 26:36
  I think that the people
• 26:38
  they picked for the twenty,
• 26:40
  there's room for some
• 26:41
  people to get removed.
• 26:45
  I agree.
• 26:46
  But until we know the points,
• 26:48
  we can't say that.
• 26:49
  It might be...
• 26:51
  it might be just them
• 26:52
  showing up and finishing
• 26:53
  might be enough to stay in there.
• 26:56
  Like, I wonder also, um,
• 26:59
  if it's the same workouts, um,
• 27:01
  let's say the challenger
• 27:02
  division and the pro,
• 27:04
  if they have the exact same workouts,
• 27:05
  same weights and everything,
• 27:06
  like let's say your score,
• 27:07
  your winner of their
• 27:08
  challenger division would have finished,
• 27:11
  you know, seventeenth in the pro division,
• 27:14
  but they're not getting any
• 27:15
  points that are actually making, like,
• 27:17
  I'm curious for that scenario.
• 27:18
  Cause you're going to see
• 27:19
  that if it's the same
• 27:20
  workouts that people are
• 27:21
  will outperform the pro
• 27:23
  division especially the
• 27:24
  like maybe the last ten um
• 27:27
  with the same workouts
• 27:27
  depending because three
• 27:29
  workouts in an online
• 27:30
  qualifier does not like um
• 27:33
  jamie said this won't you
• 27:35
  know they're brand new
• 27:36
  workouts at a competition
• 27:37
  in person you're gonna have
• 27:40
  people perform I hope they
• 27:41
  do that because the more
• 27:43
  people talk about it the
• 27:45
  better it's going to be for the sport
• 27:48
  more people say well carolyn
• 27:51
  prevote went in the
• 27:52
  challenger division and she
• 27:54
  beat she would have beat
• 27:56
  six people in the pro
• 27:57
  division like I think
• 28:00
  that's that conversation is
• 28:02
  good for the sport not good
• 28:05
  for you the athlete but for
• 28:06
  me as the media member and
• 28:08
  someone who wants the sport
• 28:09
  to do well the more that
• 28:11
  people are talking about it
• 28:12
  then the more exposure it gets
• 28:19
  But I see what your thing is
• 28:20
  a competitive athlete.
• 28:22
  Like that would suck to like
• 28:26
  always beat the pros,
• 28:27
  but you can't even get into
• 28:29
  that division because of the qualifier.
• 28:31
  Cause of the online qualifier.
• 28:33
  Yeah.
• 28:34
  That's why I'm just curious
• 28:35
  what they'll do with the
• 28:36
  points because right now
• 28:37
  they're saying automatically last place.
• 28:39
  What if there's an injury
• 28:40
  and someone didn't even do
• 28:41
  all the workouts?
• 28:42
  They're getting more points.
• 28:44
  If someone's injured but
• 28:45
  they know that just showing
• 28:46
  up to the comp will allow
• 28:47
  them to get points just to
• 28:48
  stay within the race.
• 28:49
  So they just show up injured, take a bow,
• 28:52
  don't do any of the events,
• 28:55
  withdraw right away,
• 28:55
  but they finish ahead of
• 28:56
  the challengers and gain
• 28:57
  their points just by showing up.
• 28:59
  I think that's fair.
• 29:01
  So just curious with that
• 29:02
  type of scenario because it could happen.
• 29:05
  I agree with you,
• 29:06
  especially like some of
• 29:08
  these people that I think
• 29:09
  got the card more for
• 29:10
  lifetime achievement than
• 29:11
  they have for current standing.
• 29:14
  Like some of those people
• 29:16
  have had injury issues recently.
• 29:19
  I think if you have injuries
• 29:21
  and you finish last,
• 29:22
  you're going to have a hard
• 29:22
  time holding on to your card.
• 29:27
  Yeah, I think that'll probably be.
• 29:29
  But if you automatically get
• 29:31
  a spot at each of the three
• 29:33
  and your challengers,
• 29:34
  your ten people that are
• 29:35
  showing up at these events
• 29:36
  are always different,
• 29:38
  you can finish almost last
• 29:39
  and still gain your top
• 29:41
  twenty card just because someone, I mean,
• 29:45
  it depends on the scoring system,
• 29:48
  but if those ten
• 29:49
  challengers are flipping in and out,
• 29:51
  you just have to basically show up.
• 29:54
  and you can maybe hang on to
• 29:55
  that twentieth spot.
• 29:56
  You have to remember that
• 29:57
  the third event is based on total points.
• 30:00
  So it's going to be
• 30:03
  basically the twenty that made it in.
• 30:06
  If just by chance all
• 30:08
  qualifiers were different,
• 30:10
  the twenty qualifiers are
• 30:11
  going to make up the rest
• 30:13
  of the ten that go to the final.
• 30:15
  So you'll be in at least two
• 30:16
  of those events to compete.
• 30:21
  I think that's where it's
• 30:21
  important that if you don't
• 30:24
  make it in you should go to
• 30:25
  the qualif the challenger
• 30:27
  to just give bank enough of
• 30:29
  those points so you can add
• 30:31
  them to whatever you do in
• 30:31
  the other two like let's
• 30:33
  say roman roman doesn't
• 30:35
  show up to the first second
• 30:37
  and let's say by the third
• 30:38
  one he does the online
• 30:40
  qualifier and then goes to
• 30:41
  the last one and gets top
• 30:43
  five does that enough
• 30:45
  points for him to get a pro
• 30:46
  card for the following year
• 30:48
  there's no qualifier for the final
• 30:50
  Oh, it's not.
• 30:52
  Okay.
• 30:52
  So that.
• 30:52
  Only the two tour events.
• 30:54
  And then the top thirty
• 30:55
  points will compete in the final.
• 30:58
  Okay.
• 31:01
  So the double that.
• 31:02
  So that trial thingy.
• 31:04
  The trials is for every other division.
• 31:09
  Not the pro division.
• 31:11
  Got.
• 31:15
  But I do think legit
• 31:16
  questions have come out of
• 31:17
  this that were not asked.
• 31:18
  If Sydney Wells gets hurt, right?
• 31:22
  Just throwing out a name
• 31:23
  that I saw on the list today.
• 31:25
  And she can't go to tour event two.
• 31:27
  Do then eleven qualifiers get to go in?
• 31:32
  If one of the twenty female
• 31:34
  athletes can't go to the finals,
• 31:36
  do eleven challengers get to go?
• 31:40
  That wasn't answered or asked.
• 31:43
  in the stuff and I think
• 31:44
  that's important because if
• 31:46
  someone gets hurt that is
• 31:48
  an opportunity for another
• 31:49
  athlete to get more points
• 31:52
  and I hope that they give
• 31:53
  them that man comments are
• 31:56
  coming in fast and I know none of them um
• 32:04
  Ken says tennis tour isn't
• 32:06
  the same court surface golf.
• 32:08
  Every course is different
• 32:09
  and the five elite routines
• 32:10
  are awarded more points.
• 32:12
  Also players move up from
• 32:14
  lower tours if they Yeah.
• 32:17
  Well,
• 32:17
  I think this is just starting this is
• 32:19
  the money they have is to
• 32:20
  support this small thing
• 32:22
  now to see if they can get
• 32:23
  it to grow and become self sustainable.
• 32:27
  think the idea is great um
• 32:29
  like I'm excited for it I
• 32:30
  think they have some a lot
• 32:33
  of people that are involved
• 32:35
  right now hopefully that
• 32:36
  they make some good
• 32:37
  business decision for the
• 32:39
  sustainability of it um but
• 32:42
  still missing a lot of
• 32:42
  information in terms of
• 32:44
  dates and location like
• 32:46
  victor hofer on one of his
• 32:48
  podcasts that was posted on
• 32:51
  helping the other day he
• 32:53
  says in french that there's
• 32:55
  three stages and it's in
• 32:58
  may august and december
• 33:02
  In French, clearly in that.
• 33:04
  I never went to the actual
• 33:05
  podcast to look for more information,
• 33:08
  but those are the months that he said.
• 33:11
  So I don't know if he spoke
• 33:13
  and he knows information
• 33:14
  and he was not supposed to say stuff,
• 33:15
  but.
• 33:16
  Yeah.
• 33:17
  Justin Madera said may for
• 33:18
  one of the months too.
• 33:20
  So may seems to be it.
• 33:21
  And now there's some
• 33:23
  controversy that one of the
• 33:25
  in-person semifinals is in may.
• 33:27
  So is it really avoiding the
• 33:28
  calendar of the game season?
• 33:30
  Yeah.
• 33:31
  So I think there's two in person in may.
• 33:36
  Like it leaves like one possible week.
• 33:38
  I was just thinking you're right.
• 33:40
  Yeah.
• 33:41
  Like, well,
• 33:41
  that's the thing they're trying
• 33:42
  to make this world.
• 33:43
  Like it,
• 33:46
  I feel like it's gonna be
• 33:47
  tough on some athletes.
• 33:51
  Yeah.
• 33:51
  So I'm going to try to get
• 33:52
  through this quick so we
• 33:52
  can get to the year end
• 33:53
  stuff before Jamie has to go.
• 33:55
  I'm still sorting out the
• 33:57
  relationship with the PFA.
• 33:59
  They're in talks.
• 34:00
  Nothing has been, um,
• 34:01
  contractually done with them.
• 34:04
  Um,
• 34:04
  but they are talking to him about
• 34:05
  movement standards, um, and safety.
• 34:09
  Uh,
• 34:09
  they're hosting completely new events
• 34:11
  to control the standards,
• 34:13
  which I do kind of respect, um,
• 34:15
  that you're not having
• 34:16
  third parties saying that, um,
• 34:18
  a box step up is this,
• 34:20
  and then this one over here
• 34:21
  saying it's something different.
• 34:23
  They're trying to make it so
• 34:24
  that the movement standard
• 34:25
  is the same across all the events.
• 34:27
  I do like that idea a lot.
• 34:29
  Yeah.
• 34:30
  Yep.
• 34:32
  plan is to expand in the
• 34:33
  future years using the
• 34:34
  highest finishes to score.
• 34:36
  So say they have six tour
• 34:37
  events and they're going to
• 34:38
  take your three highest scores.
• 34:40
  You can then choose to go to three events,
• 34:43
  four events or five events,
• 34:44
  but you'll only get your
• 34:45
  three highest scores that
• 34:47
  will count for your points.
• 34:50
  But that will give more
• 34:51
  flexibility in the season,
• 34:52
  just like golf or tennis,
• 34:54
  where you choose to go to this event,
• 34:56
  that event and that event,
• 34:57
  but not necessarily all of them.
• 34:59
  And that's where the
• 35:00
  backfill question would
• 35:02
  even be more pertinent
• 35:03
  because then more
• 35:04
  challengers could get those
• 35:05
  spots than ten.
• 35:09
  If the twenty athletes didn't do whatever.
• 35:17
  We talked about the point system.
• 35:19
  They say they have enough
• 35:21
  money for the foreseeable future,
• 35:23
  but eventually they're
• 35:23
  going to have to see a
• 35:24
  return on investment at some point.
• 35:27
  They want to embrace the storytelling,
• 35:29
  and there's some bullets here.
• 35:31
  Ramp up media content the
• 35:32
  week before the tour event
• 35:34
  to get to know the people.
• 35:36
  And they want to get to know
• 35:37
  the people as people, not as athletes,
• 35:41
  so that you understand the backstories.
• 35:43
  They want to make the live
• 35:44
  stream more easily understood.
• 35:46
  So if someone just walking
• 35:47
  in and it's on can
• 35:49
  understand what's going on
• 35:50
  as opposed to having to
• 35:52
  have it explained.
• 35:54
  Knowing the players will
• 35:55
  increase the anticipation
• 35:57
  and third party media will
• 35:58
  be welcomed at tour events.
• 36:02
  That's awesome.
• 36:06
  Top thirty points accumulate
• 36:08
  will compete in the finals
• 36:09
  where double points will be awarded.
• 36:13
  They will have a teen and a
• 36:14
  master's division, two divisions of each.
• 36:17
  Teens will be called next gen,
• 36:19
  fourteen to sixteen and
• 36:20
  seventeen to nineteen masters,
• 36:22
  thirty five to forty nine and fifty plus.
• 36:27
  Thoughts on that master's athlete.
• 36:31
  I mean.
• 36:35
  There needs to be so many
• 36:36
  more details around that.
• 36:40
  I think it's not getting too
• 36:43
  far out over their skis,
• 36:45
  like dipping their toe in
• 36:47
  to bring them in,
• 36:48
  and then let's see what we
• 36:49
  can do and create anticipation.
• 36:52
  I would do one teenage division.
• 36:54
  I don't think they need two little ones.
• 36:57
  One master division, one teen,
• 36:58
  just to kind of get them in there.
• 37:01
  I do like that they expanded to nineteen.
• 37:05
  Yeah, I do like that.
• 37:07
  I don't think that they need...
• 37:09
  Especially if it's going to
• 37:11
  be the same workouts,
• 37:12
  it just becomes a long day.
• 37:14
  If they wanted to make it viewable.
• 37:22
  Yeah.
• 37:23
  The workouts are going to
• 37:23
  get released early too, he said.
• 37:25
  Yeah.
• 37:26
  Yeah.
• 37:26
  I, I have that somewhere.
• 37:28
  And then goal is to
• 37:28
  reinvigorate the connection
• 37:29
  with the fans.
• 37:31
  So, and I think that if you're,
• 37:33
  if you sign a contract with a company,
• 37:35
  they can actually make that
• 37:36
  happen more often than if
• 37:39
  you're just a freelance athlete,
• 37:41
  they can say, Hey,
• 37:42
  we're going to have this event.
• 37:43
  You need to be at this before we,
• 37:45
  we go to X, Y, Z or whatever, but, um,
• 37:49
  rolling out announcements
• 37:50
  through January.
• 37:52
  Um,
• 37:55
  given out forty they've
• 37:56
  talked to forty athletes
• 37:57
  nobody has said no some are
• 37:59
  still waiting to see the
• 38:00
  dates and get the dates
• 38:01
  confirmed uh qualifiers
• 38:06
  will be six weeks prior to
• 38:08
  each event uh all the
• 38:12
  events will have jerseys
• 38:13
  and a kit for the events
• 38:18
  there will be one north
• 38:19
  american tour event one
• 38:21
  europe tour event and then
• 38:22
  the finals will be in north america
• 38:27
  if can't compete the season
• 38:28
  for some reason contract
• 38:29
  will be paid out as a
• 38:30
  percentage of what was
• 38:31
  completed so you're
• 38:34
  contractually said to do
• 38:35
  three if you can only do
• 38:36
  two you'll get sixty six
• 38:37
  percent of your contract
• 38:42
  and they did say that
• 38:43
  carolyn they did talk about
• 38:44
  the workouts uh especially
• 38:46
  in year two everything
• 38:47
  being released early so
• 38:49
  that judges event
• 38:51
  organizers and athletes can
• 38:53
  all be on the same page by
• 38:54
  the time the tour event happens
• 38:57
  which I know you'd be happy about that.
• 39:02
  Yeah, I think it allows for less leaks,
• 39:04
  just throw it out there.
• 39:06
  They're gonna be different events.
• 39:07
  It's like, like,
• 39:08
  you know what the workouts
• 39:09
  are going to be that far in advance,
• 39:11
  but just a little bit.
• 39:12
  It takes away some of it.
• 39:15
  Some of the issues that we
• 39:15
  see right now with the unknown.
• 39:19
  still training for the
• 39:20
  unknown it doesn't change
• 39:21
  the methodology it's just
• 39:23
  the sports side of it you
• 39:24
  just know a little bit more
• 39:26
  to make it cleaner for the
• 39:28
  broadcast everything wow
• 39:32
  there's so many you guys
• 39:33
  have thrown so many
• 39:34
  comments and I can't even
• 39:35
  keep up um uh ken walter
• 39:39
  says scott sounds great
• 39:40
  questions looks like you
• 39:41
  should get will on for lunch hour show
• 39:43
  I would love to have Will on,
• 39:45
  and I'm going to reach out
• 39:46
  to Will about that and a
• 39:47
  couple other things.
• 39:48
  I have a pretty good
• 39:51
  relationship with Will.
• 39:52
  He's been on a couple times on the show,
• 39:54
  and we hung out a couple
• 39:57
  times at the Masters Games
• 39:58
  in the documentary, as you can see.
• 40:04
  Kenneth says,
• 40:05
  I assume streaming is a
• 40:06
  pretty big expense.
• 40:07
  It is.
• 40:08
  To get full production...
• 40:12
  But who knows who they're
• 40:14
  negotiating with either?
• 40:16
  Like we said,
• 40:16
  if you pitch it as a show
• 40:17
  idea and a series,
• 40:18
  maybe a streaming service
• 40:20
  would pick it up as opposed
• 40:22
  to trying to do it yourself
• 40:25
  through YouTube or whatever
• 40:27
  that might be.
• 40:28
  And they did say they're
• 40:29
  talking to a couple broadcasters,
• 40:31
  not just one.
• 40:33
  And that has been one of my
• 40:34
  beasts forever is that the
• 40:35
  same broadcaster keeps
• 40:36
  getting used for every CrossFit event.
• 40:38
  So you've had no innovation in ten years.
• 40:42
  The broadcast is the exact
• 40:43
  same as it's always been.
• 40:47
  Wooly Meemeth in the house saying,
• 40:49
  I'm a little upset I didn't
• 40:50
  get signed for the Masters Division,
• 40:51
  but whatever.
• 40:55
  Yeah.
• 40:57
  Clooney,
• 40:58
  sports don't usually make money
• 40:59
  without a big broadcast deal.
• 41:00
  Streaming on YouTube won't
• 41:01
  work for longer-term growth
• 41:03
  or return on investment.
• 41:06
  Yes, you are preaching to the choir.
• 41:08
  We have mentioned both on my
• 41:09
  lunch show today and
• 41:10
  tonight that streaming
• 41:11
  seems to be the way to go
• 41:12
  and maybe to try to get a
• 41:13
  partnership with a
• 41:14
  streaming service as
• 41:15
  opposed to ESPN or CBS and
• 41:19
  the more conventional things.
• 41:21
  Maybe it's better to look
• 41:23
  toward streaming services instead.
• 41:27
  I've seen some stuff in here
• 41:29
  about Rich coming in, getting Rich to go.
• 41:33
  I think you have to get Rich
• 41:34
  to agree to come.
• 41:35
  And I think that's going to
• 41:36
  be the bigger issue than
• 41:38
  you wanting him in there.
• 41:40
  Yeah.
• 41:44
  So, and I felt like Jim Carrey there,
• 41:46
  like I took in the big breath.
• 41:48
  blew through that really
• 41:49
  fast but keep throwing your
• 41:52
  comments in there we'll
• 41:53
  talk about this we're going
• 41:54
  to be talking about it as
• 41:55
  they keep doing more and
• 41:56
  more announcements through
• 41:57
  the season but I will pop
• 41:59
  up the signed athletes at
• 42:00
  this point as they did sign
• 42:02
  two more athletes this
• 42:04
  afternoon and they are sure
• 42:12
  I only have like five instagrams open
• 42:15
  My boy Saxon Pancheck got
• 42:18
  signed this afternoon,
• 42:19
  and Emma Lawson added to
• 42:21
  the roster this afternoon.
• 42:23
  That was in addition to Sydney Wells, BKG,
• 42:26
  Jason Hopper, Amy Kringle, Mano Anganese,
• 42:31
  Dallin Pepper, Emma Tall, Justin Medeiros,
• 42:33
  Victor Hoffer, Roman Krennikoff,
• 42:35
  Emma McQuaid, Travis Mayer, Alexis Raptus,
• 42:38
  Yellow Hosta, Patrick Vellner,
• 42:40
  Brooke Wells, Alex Kazan,
• 42:42
  and Chandler Smith.
• 42:43
  And I believe that brings us
• 42:44
  to twenty signed athletes announced.
• 42:47
  So we're at the halfway point.
• 42:52
  Any thoughts on the signed
• 42:53
  athletes before we move on?
• 43:02
  Not surprised that really
• 43:03
  honestly with any of them,
• 43:06
  like even the ones that I,
• 43:07
  that I feel are,
• 43:11
  could be replaced by other people.
• 43:12
  Like they have connections.
• 43:14
  to agents they have
• 43:15
  connections to athletes
• 43:17
  they have media following
• 43:19
  so there's not really any
• 43:21
  surprising picks there most
• 43:24
  are most are the top
• 43:25
  athletes anyways most I
• 43:28
  think this is the only
• 43:29
  disappointing part that I have so far
• 43:33
  And that is because on the
• 43:34
  interviews they said they
• 43:35
  were taking the
• 43:36
  leaderboards of Rogue and
• 43:37
  the Games for the last few
• 43:38
  years and putting them
• 43:40
  together and taking the
• 43:41
  top-sixteen men and top-sixteen women.
• 43:44
  And then four at-large bids
• 43:46
  to get the twenty spots.
• 43:48
  Right.
• 43:49
  At my count, we are past four at-large.
• 43:52
  Oh, yeah.
• 43:53
  Based on those leaders.
• 43:55
  And if that's what you're doing,
• 43:57
  then fine.
• 43:58
  This is year one.
• 43:59
  You get to pick who they are.
• 44:00
  It's your league.
• 44:01
  Do what you want to do.
• 44:03
  But this is not what you said.
• 44:08
  And I love you, Will.
• 44:09
  And I want to support this.
• 44:11
  I think this is a great endeavor.
• 44:13
  I think this is correcting a
• 44:15
  lot of the things we've
• 44:16
  been bitching about the
• 44:17
  CrossFit game season about for years.
• 44:19
  And I want to see it do well.
• 44:22
  But this is not what you said.
• 44:25
  There are more than four
• 44:26
  people here that would not
• 44:29
  have been in the top six
• 44:30
  team combining those two leaderboards.
• 44:35
  I agree.
• 44:35
  Is it just from this year or
• 44:37
  is it last year's past two years?
• 44:40
  The past two years.
• 44:43
  Some of these athletes were
• 44:44
  hurt during those two years
• 44:45
  and would not have made the top sixteen.
• 44:47
  Some of these athletes are
• 44:48
  so new they wouldn't have
• 44:49
  made the top sixteen.
• 44:52
  So that is.
• 44:57
  That's all.
• 44:57
  But again, I'm not surprised, though.
• 44:59
  This is a sport where we
• 45:01
  recycle the same sponsors
• 45:02
  for every athlete.
• 45:03
  It's the same few agents.
• 45:05
  It's literally a who you
• 45:06
  know and followers for a lot of things,
• 45:10
  for opportunities.
• 45:11
  So I'm not surprised.
• 45:15
  Glennie said there's no
• 45:15
  perfect way to select athletes.
• 45:17
  I agree.
• 45:17
  There is no perfect way,
• 45:18
  but don't tell me you're
• 45:19
  doing it one way and then
• 45:21
  obviously it's not that way.
• 45:23
  Right.
• 45:23
  Just say we're picking hot names,
• 45:27
  people we think are going
• 45:28
  to invigorate the sport,
• 45:29
  people with bigger personalities,
• 45:32
  whatever.
• 45:33
  Whatever you think it is, just say that.
• 45:35
  Right.
• 45:37
  Just don't tell me you did
• 45:38
  it another way because I
• 45:40
  know Victor Hoffer did not
• 45:42
  compete at the games.
• 45:44
  He withdrew this year on his
• 45:47
  one qualification before event one.
• 45:51
  So he couldn't have been top-sixteen,
• 45:53
  right?
• 45:54
  Sidney Wells is not
• 45:55
  top-sixteen in the world
• 45:58
  combining those leaderboards.
• 46:00
  And I don't want to go through and, like,
• 46:02
  Amy Kringle's too new to be top-sixteen.
• 46:06
  BKG, well, BKG did do okay,
• 46:09
  even though he couldn't
• 46:10
  lift more than ninety five
• 46:11
  pounds at the games two years ago.
• 46:17
  These are not surprising picks, though.
• 46:19
  They're not surprising at all.
• 46:21
  You cannot you cannot be
• 46:23
  surprised for the most part.
• 46:24
  Competitive in two years.
• 46:28
  I thought she was retiring to this year.
• 46:31
  She just said she's not doing the games.
• 46:33
  OK, but.
• 46:37
  Yeah, they're like,
• 46:37
  I'm not surprised by any of
• 46:39
  the picks again.
• 46:41
  For the most part,
• 46:42
  like you still have your
• 46:43
  top athletes that will be there.
• 46:44
  And someone asked if Laura and Tia, I mean,
• 46:45
  if no one's turned down,
• 46:46
  they would be within the top twenty.
• 46:48
  So I'm assuming Laura and
• 46:49
  Tia are going to be there.
• 46:49
  But yeah.
• 46:50
  I'm like, yeah.
• 46:55
  Like every time I see an athlete, I'm like,
• 46:56
  yeah.
• 46:58
  OK, again, I see why they picked them.
• 47:01
  If if they wouldn't have said top sixteen.
• 47:04
  I wouldn't care then they
• 47:05
  can pick whoever they want
• 47:07
  and I'm cool with that so
• 47:09
  and I wouldn't have been
• 47:09
  surprised but don't tell me
• 47:11
  you're using this criteria
• 47:13
  and then I know for a fact
• 47:15
  you didn't use that
• 47:15
  criteria you I have
• 47:20
  connections with agents you
• 47:21
  went to that agent's
• 47:22
  clients you signed all those people
• 47:25
  And then you went to the
• 47:26
  next agent and you signed those people or,
• 47:28
  Hey, this is a major sponsor of ours.
• 47:30
  So we're going to sign all
• 47:31
  their athletes to make sure
• 47:32
  that they're covered for
• 47:33
  their sponsorship and to,
• 47:35
  to create a partnership.
• 47:37
  I understand how business works.
• 47:38
  I understand how you have to
• 47:40
  handshake deals and stuff
• 47:41
  behind the scenes.
• 47:42
  That's just not what they said.
• 47:45
  That's all.
• 47:49
  don't think he's picking
• 47:50
  friends I think he's
• 47:51
  picking people that they
• 47:53
  think will draw attention
• 47:55
  and who have connections to
• 47:57
  people they need behind the
• 47:58
  scenes so um okay so that
• 48:07
  is done let it let's go to
• 48:10
  the year-end awards real
• 48:12
  quick so jamie can
• 48:13
  participate in that I just
• 48:15
  have to pull up my notes so
• 48:20
  We have a list of, I don't know, ten,
• 48:23
  twelve categories and we
• 48:25
  are going to go through
• 48:26
  those and we will pick our
• 48:28
  year end for twenty twenty four.
• 48:30
  There was no real criteria given for this.
• 48:33
  It is just whatever you believe in,
• 48:34
  whatever you feel.
• 48:36
  We're not setting an
• 48:37
  expectation of combining leaderboards.
• 48:39
  We are just setting that
• 48:41
  we're going to pick what's best for us.
• 48:43
  So with that best male
• 48:46
  performance twenty twenty four.
• 48:50
  Who do you want to go first?
• 48:52
  We'll start with you, Jamie,
• 48:53
  and then we'll rotate it.
• 48:57
  I said Dale and Pepper.
• 49:00
  Any reason behind that?
• 49:01
  I feel like his performances
• 49:03
  at both the games and Rogue
• 49:06
  were net better than pretty
• 49:10
  much everybody else's.
• 49:11
  Carolyn?
• 49:13
  Carolyn?
• 49:15
  Fikowski.
• 49:17
  I thought he performed well
• 49:20
  at all aspects of the year.
• 49:22
  I thought he looked good.
• 49:23
  He maximized his last year in the sport.
• 49:29
  I picked Jeff Adler because
• 49:31
  of his rogue performance.
• 49:33
  It was a dominating win.
• 49:35
  It's the only competition he
• 49:37
  completed in twenty twenty four.
• 49:39
  And that one he did go up
• 49:41
  against the best in the
• 49:41
  world and he dominated that performance.
• 49:46
  He is the best male athlete.
• 49:48
  Hands down, he's the fittest male athlete.
• 49:51
  I just picked Pekowski in
• 49:52
  terms of he outdid my expectations.
• 50:00
  Jeff Adler is hands down.
• 50:03
  He had three great performances this year.
• 50:06
  That's why I said there's no
• 50:07
  criteria for this.
• 50:09
  Ken says we should call these the Clydes.
• 50:11
  I love it.
• 50:19
  So now we go to the female side,
• 50:20
  female best performance,
• 50:21
  twenty twenty four.
• 50:24
  Start with Carolyn.
• 50:27
  I mean, it's hard to argue against Tia,
• 50:30
  but I'm going to I'm going
• 50:31
  to pick Laura Horvath.
• 50:34
  Well,
• 50:34
  I think beating Tia four straight
• 50:38
  events in a row is just
• 50:39
  like you don't see that ever.
• 50:43
  That's pretty impressive.
• 50:45
  But didn't Tia beat her four
• 50:47
  straight events before that?
• 50:49
  Yeah, but Tia's supposed to.
• 50:52
  When does anyone,
• 50:53
  one athlete beat Tia four
• 50:55
  straight events in a row?
• 50:56
  It just doesn't happen.
• 50:57
  As much as I've been a Laura
• 51:00
  picker for a long time,
• 51:02
  and I tried to find a way
• 51:04
  to pick somebody other than Tia,
• 51:05
  I just couldn't.
• 51:07
  She just killed it this year.
• 51:09
  She just killed it.
• 51:12
  So I picked Tia.
• 51:15
  Tia's the obvious choice.
• 51:17
  I didn't want to go with the obvious,
• 51:18
  so I'm going to say Gabby.
• 51:22
  And I feel like she was
• 51:24
  crushing Rogue until she wasn't.
• 51:27
  She was crushing Rogue.
• 51:28
  She stuck out the games.
• 51:30
  Incredible performance at the games.
• 51:33
  I was just excited for her whole year.
• 51:37
  I mean,
• 51:37
  it sucks to see that happen at Rogue.
• 51:40
  so I I tried to make an
• 51:42
  argument for gabby but she
• 51:44
  was still in third at rogue
• 51:45
  behind laura and tia like
• 51:48
  even with that great
• 51:49
  performance she was still
• 51:52
  you know well yeah she
• 51:54
  didn't finish and so to me
• 51:57
  it's similar to jeff right
• 51:59
  like tia is the best jeff
• 52:00
  is the best male and female
• 52:02
  and then I was looking for
• 52:05
  someone else that are not
• 52:07
  the the two usuals exactly
• 52:11
  So then we move into most
• 52:12
  disappointing performance
• 52:13
  of twenty twenty four male.
• 52:17
  This is hard because I
• 52:18
  really hate picking disappointments,
• 52:21
  but I'm going to go first
• 52:23
  and my pick is Ricky Gerrard.
• 52:26
  I really thought.
• 52:28
  that he would have better performances at,
• 52:31
  at rogue and the games.
• 52:32
  And they weren't terrible, but he,
• 52:35
  why does he always get hurt?
• 52:37
  Like,
• 52:37
  why does he always get hurt when like,
• 52:39
  you're right there on the
• 52:41
  precipice of greatness and Chad,
• 52:44
  he rolls his ankle coming off the box.
• 52:46
  It was right in front of me.
• 52:48
  I saw it happen.
• 52:49
  It was,
• 52:50
  I thought he was done for the games
• 52:52
  in that moment.
• 52:53
  And he somehow still finished seventh,
• 52:55
  but that is not a Ricky finish.
• 53:00
  and so I said and I and I
• 53:03
  expected him to do better
• 53:04
  at rogue too and he still
• 53:06
  did well it just I I wanted
• 53:09
  him to compete against jeff
• 53:11
  closer so I pick ricky my
• 53:16
  pick also hinged a lot on
• 53:19
  rogue finish um and I went
• 53:21
  with velner def definite
• 53:26
  decline this year yeah
• 53:29
  And we know I love my boy, Pat.
• 53:31
  Oh, you love some Pat Vellner.
• 53:35
  That was mine was Pat for in
• 53:37
  terms of a performance at a
• 53:39
  specific event.
• 53:40
  That's how I had read the question.
• 53:42
  If you wanted to say like in
• 53:44
  general for the year, my disappointment,
• 53:47
  Roman.
• 53:48
  Roman was not very good at Wadapalooza.
• 53:51
  None of the events I was really...
• 53:55
  awe with and I know he was
• 53:56
  injured a little bit at the
• 53:57
  games but like he didn't do
• 53:58
  anything there even prior I
• 54:00
  think I had lost a little
• 54:01
  bit of faith of where he
• 54:02
  was at last year um at the
• 54:07
  games I thought that he had
• 54:09
  a not so great season but
• 54:12
  again I don't know how much
• 54:13
  the the injury played a
• 54:15
  part at what point of the
• 54:16
  season it started but he
• 54:18
  didn't look good at the
• 54:18
  games he didn't look good
• 54:19
  at water palooza he looked
• 54:20
  okay at semifinal deep like
• 54:22
  decent at semifinals yeah um
• 54:26
  Yeah.
• 54:26
  Uh, just to catch up on some climate, uh,
• 54:28
  some comments,
• 54:29
  Craig passively picked Jason as a, uh,
• 54:32
  best performance.
• 54:34
  Um, Clint East picked Tia.
• 54:36
  Uh, Craig said, Brent is a good pick.
• 54:42
  Um, Craig picked Tia.
• 54:46
  Um,
• 54:47
  Jody agreed with me.
• 54:48
  I love when that happens.
• 54:52
  Ken said, mine is Colton.
• 54:53
  Not that he did bad by any means,
• 54:55
  but because my favorite
• 54:56
  athlete didn't make the games.
• 54:57
  That's a good disappointment.
• 54:58
  I agree.
• 54:59
  I like that.
• 55:02
  That's a good pick.
• 55:03
  Yep.
• 55:04
  So then we go to most disappointed female.
• 55:07
  Back to me?
• 55:08
  Yep.
• 55:09
  Overall, for the whole year,
• 55:11
  I'm going to go with Danielle Brandon.
• 55:14
  Okay.
• 55:16
  that's always a solid pick
• 55:17
  because the expectations
• 55:19
  for her are always like
• 55:19
  super high they are I think
• 55:21
  she'll do like I just
• 55:22
  really thought she would
• 55:23
  finish higher at both the
• 55:24
  games and rogue carolyn
• 55:36
  mute you're on mute sorry
• 55:38
  uh I have two lawson just
• 55:42
  didn't perform as as well as I um
• 55:46
  expected her throughout the whole year.
• 55:48
  Not like the games.
• 55:50
  I don't even look at the games at all,
• 55:52
  but just in terms of the
• 55:55
  whole year in general,
• 55:56
  like normally she would, you know,
• 55:57
  be top three in the open top three,
• 55:59
  like just wasn't herself this year.
• 56:05
  Um, yeah.
• 56:07
  And I think my, my other pick was Domet.
• 56:11
  I think I expected a little
• 56:12
  bit more of her at the games.
• 56:14
  Um,
• 56:16
  after coming off the
• 56:17
  semifinal and maybe a
• 56:18
  little bit of hype but how
• 56:22
  hard was it factoring in
• 56:23
  the games this season
• 56:24
  because they just they
• 56:26
  weren't what yeah they're
• 56:29
  it's so hard there you had
• 56:31
  programming removed you had
• 56:33
  like it just was hard to
• 56:34
  like judge through all of that
• 56:39
  It really is.
• 56:40
  I take small value in the games this year,
• 56:43
  but it's one of the only
• 56:45
  competitions in person we have.
• 56:48
  All the athletes are there competing.
• 56:50
  There's Waterpalooza, there's Rogue,
• 56:54
  the games.
• 56:55
  We don't have much besides the online,
• 56:57
  and I'm not going to put as
• 56:58
  much value on the online.
• 57:00
  Sadly, again, the games to me doesn't
• 57:07
  reflect how the performance
• 57:08
  of a lot of athletes so my
• 57:12
  appointment is based on
• 57:14
  rogue and I know that this
• 57:16
  person is not typically
• 57:18
  strong at rogue but because
• 57:20
  of the metamorphosis she
• 57:23
  supposedly went through in
• 57:24
  the off season I expected
• 57:26
  more of her there and that
• 57:27
  is hayley adams uh
• 57:30
  sixteenth place at rogue
• 57:33
  Even though I knew she
• 57:34
  wouldn't hit the
• 57:35
  weightlifting events or the heavy events,
• 57:38
  she didn't do anything well at Rogue.
• 57:42
  That's not true.
• 57:44
  She crushed the snatch one.
• 57:45
  And that's...
• 57:48
  you know, and she would,
• 57:49
  that snatch event for her was like,
• 57:52
  when I looked at the
• 57:53
  strategies of everyone, I'm like, oh,
• 57:55
  they're all doing like what I did.
• 57:56
  They're blowing up.
• 57:56
  And then they're going to start, you know,
• 57:58
  not doing as well in the snatch.
• 57:59
  She took her sweet time on
• 58:01
  those ring muscle ups.
• 58:02
  She did like four, five sets even,
• 58:04
  and then just move the snatch,
• 58:06
  move the snatch weight
• 58:07
  better than anyone.
• 58:09
  Everyone was like,
• 58:09
  including Laura missed snatches.
• 58:13
  Almost everyone did the same
• 58:15
  strategy that I did, which was just like,
• 58:17
  two sets or maybe three I
• 58:20
  think this is it she was so
• 58:22
  overhyped the media was
• 58:24
  attention was on her that
• 58:25
  she had done all this stuff
• 58:26
  to change and get get her
• 58:27
  love for the game back and
• 58:29
  I just expected more than a
• 58:30
  sixteenth place yeah her
• 58:32
  adaptability at rogue
• 58:34
  wasn't good like she
• 58:35
  couldn't do the long muscle
• 58:36
  up she couldn't do the
• 58:37
  pegboard which normally she
• 58:38
  is so good at the pegboard
• 58:40
  So there, yeah, there's a few there.
• 58:44
  I'm going to spoil this
• 58:44
  because I probably won't make it.
• 58:46
  My most surprising female,
• 58:49
  I picked Haley for those big dichotomies,
• 58:53
  right?
• 58:53
  Like some great performance at semis.
• 58:55
  You know, like Erin says it's great here.
• 58:58
  I feel like she got a little stronger,
• 59:00
  but everything else regressed.
• 59:02
  So to me,
• 59:02
  there was some big surprises
• 59:04
  there for me with Haley.
• 59:06
  So that was my vote for that
• 59:07
  because that's like your
• 59:08
  last one and I will not be on for that.
• 59:09
  So that was my pick there.
• 59:12
  Ken keeps saying that
• 59:14
  Carolyn just keeps picking the Canadians.
• 59:18
  I've been honest, good and bad,
• 59:20
  good and bad with my Canadians.
• 59:22
  Can't stand DB every year.
• 59:23
  It's the same.
• 59:26
  And then Daniel,
• 59:27
  Dan Church echoes all that.
• 59:31
  And then Craig says Alexis.
• 59:33
  So that's a,
• 59:34
  I consider that for my dis my
• 59:37
  disappointed as well.
• 59:38
  Yeah.
• 59:38
  Good pick.
• 59:42
  All right.
• 59:42
  Next category is coach of
• 59:44
  the year and it's Carolyn.
• 59:50
  I mean,
• 59:50
  it's hard to not talk about what's
• 59:53
  going on at Burt camp and our brute,
• 59:56
  not camp or fitness with strength.
• 59:59
  And I was like, Oh, I forgot the name.
• 1:00:02
  Um, I don't know who coaches, what athlete,
• 1:00:04
  like, I don't know if it's that,
• 1:00:07
  if something's going,
• 1:00:08
  something good is going on, um, there.
• 1:00:12
  Yeah,
• 1:00:13
  I said Matt Torres along with Aaron
• 1:00:15
  Fraser.
• 1:00:17
  He took over Brute.
• 1:00:19
  He is now the owner of Brute, so I'm just,
• 1:00:21
  I guess, giving him the nod.
• 1:00:23
  But they also have Coach L
• 1:00:24
  there who's taken on a lot of clients.
• 1:00:27
  Coach L was at the Masters
• 1:00:28
  CrossFit Games with a ton of athletes.
• 1:00:30
  I know he's Kelsey Keels.
• 1:00:33
  He's Daniel Brandens.
• 1:00:35
  He just took on Jason Hopper.
• 1:00:37
  So, yeah.
• 1:00:39
  And I'll pick Caroline
• 1:00:40
  Lombre just to continue
• 1:00:41
  with my Canadians.
• 1:00:46
  Yeah.
• 1:00:47
  Thanks, Ken.
• 1:00:47
  My coach of the year is Tristan.
• 1:00:49
  Yeah.
• 1:00:52
  Because he got Hattie there.
• 1:00:54
  He got me there.
• 1:00:58
  Can't argue with results.
• 1:01:02
  Yeah.
• 1:01:02
  All right.
• 1:01:02
  Best viewing experience.
• 1:01:09
  We're not doing favorite moment.
• 1:01:11
  Oh, favorite moment of the year.
• 1:01:12
  I'm sorry.
• 1:01:12
  Favorite moment of the year.
• 1:01:14
  All right.
• 1:01:14
  This is my last one.
• 1:01:15
  I'm signing off.
• 1:01:16
  Okay.
• 1:01:16
  Is it me?
• 1:01:17
  I'll go.
• 1:01:19
  My favorite moment of the
• 1:01:20
  year was me finishing
• 1:01:23
  second in the power clean
• 1:01:25
  total bar burpee workout at
• 1:01:27
  the masters games.
• 1:01:29
  Little self-promotion.
• 1:01:32
  It was my favorite moment.
• 1:01:35
  I was more impressed by your
• 1:01:37
  echo bike performance.
• 1:01:38
  That was up there for me
• 1:01:39
  because it was like full push.
• 1:01:42
  Cause you're not that like tall, big,
• 1:01:45
  like that was impressive for me.
• 1:01:48
  I feel like both were like
• 1:01:49
  the power clean was super heavy.
• 1:01:51
  The bike was, is more power output.
• 1:01:53
  Um,
• 1:01:54
  I think the fact that there was more of
• 1:01:55
  a race on the floor in the,
• 1:01:58
  in the going back forth to the bar,
• 1:02:00
  to the toe, you're just on a bike.
• 1:02:01
  You don't know everyone's kills.
• 1:02:02
  It's really hard to see.
• 1:02:03
  It's not,
• 1:02:04
  I wasn't really happy with my
• 1:02:05
  performance.
• 1:02:06
  Don't get me wrong.
• 1:02:07
  I just think the race in the
• 1:02:09
  power clean one was a
• 1:02:10
  little more exciting.
• 1:02:13
  And that you got dizzy
• 1:02:14
  because they kept making you spin.
• 1:02:16
  Things could have been improved there,
• 1:02:19
  but it was, yeah.
• 1:02:23
  Carolyn?
• 1:02:25
  I didn't write this one down.
• 1:02:27
  Go ahead.
• 1:02:27
  You go first.
• 1:02:28
  But let me think about it.
• 1:02:29
  Mine is a semifinal syndicate crown.
• 1:02:33
  Lydia Fish finishing the snatch ladder.
• 1:02:36
  And I think it's I think it
• 1:02:37
  is so indelible because I
• 1:02:39
  was right beside her in the
• 1:02:41
  media pit and I caught the
• 1:02:43
  footage from behind with
• 1:02:45
  her entire family in the stands.
• 1:02:47
  going ballistic when she hit
• 1:02:49
  the last bar and like the
• 1:02:53
  the gen the genuine
• 1:02:55
  excitement in that arena
• 1:02:56
  when she did that was one
• 1:03:00
  of the coolest feelings of
• 1:03:01
  the year for me and so that
• 1:03:03
  is my favorite moment and
• 1:03:04
  it's still on my instagram
• 1:03:06
  uh as a real so if you want
• 1:03:07
  to go check that out but
• 1:03:08
  her dad like loses his mind
• 1:03:10
  in the stands and I
• 1:03:12
  captured that on video as
• 1:03:14
  she hit that final bar
• 1:03:16
  Okay, I have one, Ken.
• 1:03:19
  Canadian again.
• 1:03:21
  So I was in the stands at
• 1:03:23
  Syndicate Crown for the last event,
• 1:03:27
  and I'm sitting with Chloe
• 1:03:28
  Goldvang-David's parents
• 1:03:30
  and her boyfriend cheering for her.
• 1:03:34
  And after she smashed that event,
• 1:03:37
  just seeing her qualify
• 1:03:39
  again for the Games was exciting.
• 1:03:42
  I have a lot of appreciation for her.
• 1:03:45
  in the sport and I have a good,
• 1:03:47
  good relationship with her.
• 1:03:48
  So just was very,
• 1:03:49
  very happy to see her get
• 1:03:51
  back to the games, um,
• 1:03:53
  at the expense of other Canadian friends,
• 1:03:55
  which that's not good, but, um,
• 1:03:58
  I was happy for Chloe.
• 1:03:58
  Yeah.
• 1:04:00
  Not many people had her on
• 1:04:01
  their bingo card for making
• 1:04:03
  the jump on that final workout.
• 1:04:06
  I said that that Sunday was
• 1:04:09
  built for Chloe.
• 1:04:10
  You did build for her.
• 1:04:14
  We also have Ricky running
• 1:04:16
  the sub five minute mile at the games.
• 1:04:19
  That was pretty awesome.
• 1:04:23
  James final games event.
• 1:04:25
  That was pretty awesome too.
• 1:04:26
  That was Aaron's choice.
• 1:04:28
  He was torn between my
• 1:04:31
  performance or the games,
• 1:04:33
  the games final event.
• 1:04:35
  He thought that was a really
• 1:04:35
  good race on the floor
• 1:04:36
  between like three of the men.
• 1:04:38
  And he was like,
• 1:04:39
  that's like the one that
• 1:04:40
  sticks out in my mind.
• 1:04:42
  I wouldn't be surprised if
• 1:04:43
  Tudor joined Brute this year.
• 1:04:45
  You know,
• 1:04:45
  what's funny is Tudor started with Brute.
• 1:04:48
  Right.
• 1:04:48
  He was a Matt Torres athlete
• 1:04:51
  back when him and Dallin
• 1:04:52
  and James were all teens.
• 1:04:55
  And Emma Carey,
• 1:04:56
  that group was all together
• 1:04:58
  with Matt Torres back in the day.
• 1:05:02
  All right.
• 1:05:02
  I'm going to sign off.
• 1:05:03
  You guys want me to remove you?
• 1:05:06
  I think I can leave the studio.
• 1:05:06
  Okay.
• 1:05:07
  Okay.
• 1:05:07
  Bye.
• 1:05:07
  Bye.
• 1:05:08
  Bye.
• 1:05:17
  Okay.
• 1:05:18
  We get to go.
• 1:05:19
  Whoops.
• 1:05:20
  There, ah, there we go.
• 1:05:23
  Wide screen.
• 1:05:24
  Um, uh,
• 1:05:28
  Carolyn with the make a Canadian
• 1:05:30
  great again.
• 1:05:31
  We've been good.
• 1:05:32
  We've been here.
• 1:05:33
  We've won on both the males
• 1:05:35
  and females side.
• 1:05:36
  So there ain't no great again.
• 1:05:39
  Uh, so best viewing experience.
• 1:05:42
  Rogue.
• 1:05:43
  rogue that's mine the
• 1:05:46
  package the special package
• 1:05:48
  you can purchase with rogue
• 1:05:50
  every event that has
• 1:05:51
  streaming should offer that
• 1:05:54
  it's a way to make your
• 1:05:55
  money back it is a revenue
• 1:05:56
  stream um they charge
• 1:05:59
  twenty five dollars every
• 1:06:00
  year you can move the
• 1:06:02
  freaking camera to watch
• 1:06:03
  whatever you want to watch
• 1:06:05
  how can you not love that
• 1:06:08
  And you can either pick the
• 1:06:09
  traditional broadcast or
• 1:06:11
  what I call their Manning
• 1:06:12
  cast or their tailgate party.
• 1:06:14
  You can do both.
• 1:06:17
  And to me,
• 1:06:18
  that was the best viewing
• 1:06:19
  experience by far.
• 1:06:22
  Not even remotely close.
• 1:06:25
  It's so much better than any other comp.
• 1:06:28
  They raise the bar all the
• 1:06:30
  time for competitions and stuff.
• 1:06:33
  So yeah, it's great.
• 1:06:37
  best of overall event your
• 1:06:43
  turn rogue yeah me too I
• 1:06:48
  mean you have the athletes
• 1:06:49
  as well as a new location
• 1:06:51
  in in europe the fans are
• 1:06:52
  great um like there are
• 1:06:56
  good like there were other
• 1:06:57
  good events out there like
• 1:06:59
  in terms of some of the semi-finals um
• 1:07:03
  but you don't always have
• 1:07:04
  the best of the best
• 1:07:06
  competing and like Rogue
• 1:07:07
  just gets those athletes there.
• 1:07:10
  It has the best atmosphere in the world.
• 1:07:14
  They pay attention to every detail.
• 1:07:16
  Waterpalooza was essentially
• 1:07:18
  rained out this year.
• 1:07:20
  The games had the tragic
• 1:07:21
  event that took away a lot there.
• 1:07:24
  So there really wasn't even
• 1:07:25
  a lot of competition.
• 1:07:27
  Semifinals were underwhelmingly attended,
• 1:07:29
  except for Europe and Torian.
• 1:07:32
  But for me,
• 1:07:33
  those were tough to watch just
• 1:07:35
  because they were in the
• 1:07:36
  middle of the night.
• 1:07:38
  Um, but so rogue by far.
• 1:07:40
  Yeah.
• 1:07:41
  And then, yeah.
• 1:07:42
  Yeah.
• 1:07:43
  That's what I was going to say.
• 1:07:46
  Like if you,
• 1:07:46
  if you want to go with a
• 1:07:47
  smaller competition, um,
• 1:07:50
  competition with less money
• 1:07:51
  than what rogue can put out, then crash,
• 1:07:53
  I think nailed it.
• 1:07:55
  Yeah.
• 1:07:56
  They did.
• 1:07:56
  They do a great job now every year.
• 1:07:59
  Um, so super stoked that they're,
• 1:08:02
  they keep doing what they do.
• 1:08:04
  Um, best event workout.
• 1:08:11
  I didn't think about this one.
• 1:08:12
  You added some new ones that I didn't see.
• 1:08:15
  This one's always been there.
• 1:08:17
  Oh, has it?
• 1:08:18
  Best event workout.
• 1:08:19
  Yeah.
• 1:08:21
  I'll go ahead.
• 1:08:22
  I think I like the finale.
• 1:08:23
  I like the finale of the semifinals.
• 1:08:24
  And I don't know if it's
• 1:08:26
  because there's so much on
• 1:08:27
  the line for it that it
• 1:08:29
  just created a lot of excitement.
• 1:08:30
  But I thought it was one of
• 1:08:31
  the better finales that we've seen.
• 1:08:35
  We match again.
• 1:08:37
  Yeah.
• 1:08:38
  The distance on the lunge at
• 1:08:41
  the end could not have been more perfect.
• 1:08:45
  It was,
• 1:08:48
  there was so much devastation in
• 1:08:50
  that last event with
• 1:08:52
  everything on the line.
• 1:08:54
  It brought all the drama.
• 1:08:57
  Um, usually the, you know,
• 1:08:58
  they always say the workout
• 1:08:59
  shouldn't be the star.
• 1:09:00
  The athlete should be the star,
• 1:09:01
  but that workout was the
• 1:09:04
  star to end all the semifinals.
• 1:09:08
  Yeah, it really was great.
• 1:09:09
  And like going in, I was like, oh,
• 1:09:12
  like no one's going to put
• 1:09:13
  down the lunges.
• 1:09:14
  Like it's going to be
• 1:09:15
  irrelevant for most people
• 1:09:16
  that they're just strong enough.
• 1:09:17
  And then sure enough,
• 1:09:18
  people are those dumbbells are slipping.
• 1:09:21
  People are having to get called back.
• 1:09:23
  And it was that was an exciting event.
• 1:09:28
  People are like, giving JR some love,
• 1:09:29
  well-deserved, yes.
• 1:09:31
  And then Jay Birch says,
• 1:09:32
  was it Torium Pro that had
• 1:09:33
  the cool opening ceremony?
• 1:09:35
  They always have.
• 1:09:36
  It's like a rock show there.
• 1:09:37
  They've got fireworks and
• 1:09:39
  flames and lasers and everything else.
• 1:09:43
  I so want to get to go there
• 1:09:46
  one time to watch what they put on.
• 1:09:52
  Last two categories.
• 1:09:54
  Most surprising performance, male.
• 1:10:00
  It's my turn, right?
• 1:10:01
  So I go James Brown.
• 1:10:04
  Uh,
• 1:10:04
  games like nobody saw him winning the
• 1:10:06
  games.
• 1:10:08
  If, if you had him picked before you,
• 1:10:10
  you're going to Vegas to
• 1:10:11
  collect a big sum of money.
• 1:10:13
  Um,
• 1:10:15
  And even though it was
• 1:10:17
  really tough to include
• 1:10:18
  much of the games in
• 1:10:19
  judging this season because
• 1:10:20
  of what happened there,
• 1:10:21
  that was a huge surprise.
• 1:10:23
  And like James is just one
• 1:10:25
  of the coolest dudes I've ever met.
• 1:10:27
  So happy for him and his family.
• 1:10:30
  It was just awesome.
• 1:10:31
  And that to me,
• 1:10:33
  that's the most surprising
• 1:10:34
  male performance.
• 1:10:36
  I'm going to go Austin Hatfield.
• 1:10:38
  I thought that he had a
• 1:10:41
  couple event wins like for him to win.
• 1:10:44
  two events at the games.
• 1:10:46
  I think he won a couple,
• 1:10:48
  at least one at the semifinals too.
• 1:10:53
  I didn't expect as much from him.
• 1:10:55
  And I know that the games, again,
• 1:10:57
  like if you put everyone in
• 1:10:58
  the field with the right mentality,
• 1:10:59
  it's a different maybe outcome.
• 1:11:02
  But I still thought that he
• 1:11:03
  was better than I expected.
• 1:11:07
  Come on,
• 1:11:07
  John Young would have told you
• 1:11:08
  about Austin Hatfield six years ago.
• 1:11:11
  I know, but I'm not.
• 1:11:14
  not going on that he did
• 1:11:17
  have like the biggest
• 1:11:18
  cheering crowd though at
• 1:11:20
  syndicate uh that was him
• 1:11:23
  and haley adams it was
• 1:11:24
  crazy how many people were
• 1:11:26
  there for them it was so loud
• 1:11:30
  That was fun to see.
• 1:11:31
  Someone knew, you know, Austin was,
• 1:11:34
  you know,
• 1:11:34
  he was in Orlando the year before, but in,
• 1:11:37
  in Tennessee, near his hometown, uh,
• 1:11:40
  the people from West
• 1:11:41
  Virginia could get down there and, uh,
• 1:11:44
  man, it was loud.
• 1:11:50
  Uh,
• 1:11:51
  Ken Walter said Hatfield's going to be
• 1:11:52
  a game's regular release the rabbit.
• 1:11:57
  we finish up with most
• 1:11:59
  surprising performance
• 1:12:00
  female emily rolf sure she
• 1:12:12
  was in my list yeah howdy
• 1:12:14
  kanye I'm gonna go with all
• 1:12:15
  the canadians just tonight
• 1:12:17
  well I went with hattie
• 1:12:19
  hattie hattie at
• 1:12:20
  semi-finals yeah not not
• 1:12:25
  necessarily at the games
• 1:12:26
  Oh, my only,
• 1:12:28
  my only wish for her is that
• 1:12:31
  she wouldn't have blown the
• 1:12:32
  last event and had a podium finish to,
• 1:12:36
  to cap it off because she
• 1:12:40
  was leading going into the
• 1:12:42
  final event and then lost
• 1:12:46
  it on that workout.
• 1:12:47
  We just talked about enough
• 1:12:49
  where she fell back.
• 1:12:52
  I take my votes back.
• 1:12:53
  Gabby.
• 1:12:53
  Okay.
• 1:12:57
  Gabby,
• 1:12:58
  because I knew she was getting good.
• 1:13:01
  I didn't know she was getting this good.
• 1:13:04
  And I didn't know that she was going to be,
• 1:13:08
  you know,
• 1:13:08
  right there with Laura as much
• 1:13:11
  as I... Because to me,
• 1:13:12
  it was like Tia and Laura
• 1:13:13
  are just like completely
• 1:13:14
  separated from the rest of the girls.
• 1:13:16
  And then there's like a
• 1:13:17
  little group of girls, you know,
• 1:13:19
  within that three to seven or eight.
• 1:13:22
  And then there's another little group.
• 1:13:24
  But I thought...
• 1:13:26
  Gabby really made a step this year.
• 1:13:29
  Really made a step.
• 1:13:30
  So you are picking a
• 1:13:31
  non-Canadian as your most
• 1:13:33
  surprising athlete of twenty twenty four.
• 1:13:37
  Yep.
• 1:13:37
  I'll do it.
• 1:13:38
  I'll pick a non-Canadian.
• 1:13:39
  All right.
• 1:13:42
  So that was fun.
• 1:13:44
  The the Clydes are over.
• 1:13:48
  We have Craig says Emily at
• 1:13:50
  the Games third.
• 1:13:51
  That was surprising.
• 1:13:54
  And Kate.
• 1:14:03
  Man, my internet is going.
• 1:14:07
  I didn't know if it was mine or yours.
• 1:14:08
  It's mine.
• 1:14:10
  Okay.
• 1:14:10
  It's not happened in a while.
• 1:14:13
  So hopefully it comes back.
• 1:14:14
  We're coming back.
• 1:14:22
  Patrick Clark is bragging
• 1:14:24
  that he's been telling us
• 1:14:25
  about Gabby for two years now.
• 1:14:28
  Something changed this year though.
• 1:14:31
  I mean, she trained with Laura.
• 1:14:32
  She was, she looked like she was happy.
• 1:14:35
  She learned from one of the
• 1:14:38
  best in the sports.
• 1:14:39
  Like if you're training with
• 1:14:40
  one of the best and you're getting pushed,
• 1:14:41
  like that's going to help in training.
• 1:14:43
  Like,
• 1:14:43
  I don't know what has happened since
• 1:14:45
  then.
• 1:14:45
  And I'm not going to get into any of that,
• 1:14:47
  but I mean, that helped her.
• 1:14:55
  And I think it helped.
• 1:14:57
  It helped Laura too.
• 1:15:07
  Sorry about that.
• 1:15:10
  OK.
• 1:15:12
  A couple other things before
• 1:15:13
  we head out of here.
• 1:15:15
  Speaking of the WK Crown,
• 1:15:17
  the volunteer registration is open.
• 1:15:21
  And here is the Google Doc for everybody.
• 1:15:28
  You can go out to and fill out that.
• 1:15:30
  And they have jobs available.
• 1:15:38
  sure athlete control gear
• 1:15:41
  judges media medical
• 1:15:43
  scoring and special
• 1:15:44
  assignments so make sure to
• 1:15:48
  go check that out I don't
• 1:15:54
  know if you had it on the
• 1:15:55
  the list too but the one
• 1:15:57
  competition the rebel rebel
• 1:16:00
  games or whatever they
• 1:16:01
  announced today or
• 1:16:03
  yesterday that you know the
• 1:16:05
  athletes that would be
• 1:16:07
  competing there are only
• 1:16:10
  going to be from the
• 1:16:14
  African region and the UAE itself.
• 1:16:20
  So that was surprising.
• 1:16:21
  And you know, this way, you know,
• 1:16:23
  we don't know the details about the other,
• 1:16:25
  um,
• 1:16:26
  semi-finals and maybe this is going to
• 1:16:29
  set a precedent for next
• 1:16:31
  year and what people might
• 1:16:32
  do in the following years.
• 1:16:35
  Um, you know,
• 1:16:37
  people might be looking at this like, Oh,
• 1:16:39
  I guess there's no restriction.
• 1:16:40
  We could do that with ours too.
• 1:16:42
  So I'll be interested to see
• 1:16:44
  if any of that, um, happens this year or
• 1:16:50
  in the future years because
• 1:16:52
  we already have cut down
• 1:16:53
  the field and if we start
• 1:16:56
  changing things it could be
• 1:16:59
  yeah from your perspective
• 1:17:02
  I can see where that is
• 1:17:03
  it's getting it sucks and
• 1:17:07
  no uncertain terms we
• 1:17:09
  thought we were going away
• 1:17:10
  from the regions and now
• 1:17:14
  and now we're just adding
• 1:17:15
  them back in in a different format
• 1:17:22
  I also have this announcement.
• 1:17:25
  This came this week.
• 1:17:27
  Katrin David's daughter got
• 1:17:28
  engaged to Brooks.
• 1:17:32
  And I don't know if you saw this,
• 1:17:33
  but the ring is a whopper.
• 1:17:38
  But they look very happy.
• 1:17:39
  They've looked happy for years.
• 1:17:41
  So happy for them.
• 1:17:47
  And then...

• 1:20:52
  stacked on the men's side

  Both sides are... This is a great roster.
• 1:21:45
  And then... That's the women again.
• 1:21:49
  The elite team's men.
• 1:21:51
  Pull that up.
• 1:21:54
  This one,
• 1:21:55
  I don't think is as stacked as
• 1:21:58
  some of the other,
• 1:21:58
  but there's some stacked teams.
• 1:22:02
  Justin Madaris, Dallin Pepper,

• 1:22:45
  Harry Lightfoot and Luca
• 1:22:46
  jukic joining up and that's
• 1:22:50
  those and then those are
• 1:22:52
  pretty much the big names
• 1:22:53
  on that side but there's
• 1:22:54
  definitely some stack teams
• 1:22:57
  I did not see Colton as one of the names.
• 1:23:02
  Sorry.
• 1:23:05
  I know he is a fan favorite.
• 1:23:12
  I think that's pretty much
• 1:23:13
  all the news from the week.
• 1:23:15
  That was a lot.
• 1:23:18
  So we did not do our gauntlet workouts.
• 1:23:22
  We are going to do them next
• 1:23:24
  week instead because there
• 1:23:25
  was so much news.
• 1:23:26
  And with Jamie's schedule,
• 1:23:28
  it was tough for her to
• 1:23:29
  commit to do that and the
• 1:23:31
  year-end awards.
• 1:23:32
  So Sunday night,
• 1:23:34
  we are going to do the workout.
• 1:23:36
  The assignment for you all
• 1:23:38
  is create a sixty to ninety
• 1:23:40
  minute workout.
• 1:23:40
  Mine's under, but that's okay.
• 1:23:44
  Well, mine is too,
• 1:23:45
  but I left mine is sixty
• 1:23:48
  minutes in total with a
• 1:23:49
  transition so that you can
• 1:23:51
  keep it moving.
• 1:23:53
  If that makes sense.
• 1:23:55
  Yeah.
• 1:23:55
  Yeah.
• 1:23:56
  I added my transitions with it.
• 1:23:58
  And so so mine's a hair
• 1:24:00
  under sixty minutes.
• 1:24:03
  You make a sixty minute work, sixty,
• 1:24:05
  ninety minute workout
• 1:24:06
  waterfall style in a in a
• 1:24:08
  high rocks ish type of
• 1:24:10
  thing or like a gauntlet at
• 1:24:12
  Waterpalooza thing that
• 1:24:13
  would travel from city to
• 1:24:15
  city where everybody from
• 1:24:18
  the community would come
• 1:24:19
  and do it together.
• 1:24:20
  You would do heats.
• 1:24:22
  It would just be like a rolling start.
• 1:24:24
  And you would go through to finish.
• 1:24:26
  And you would get a time.
• 1:24:28
  Mine is set to every second counts.
• 1:24:31
  Carolyn's is done for reps.
• 1:24:34
  I did two.
• 1:24:37
  I did one for time and one is for reps.
• 1:24:40
  You're an overachiever.
• 1:24:41
  I did two.
• 1:24:42
  So I have two...
• 1:24:45
  I have two submitted workouts from you,
• 1:24:47
  the audience.
• 1:24:49
  Those people are going to
• 1:24:50
  get two entries because
• 1:24:51
  they met the original
• 1:24:52
  timeline for our either
• 1:24:56
  water bottle giveaway or the coffee cup.
• 1:25:01
  You get your choice,
• 1:25:02
  either water bottle or
• 1:25:03
  coffee cup with the
• 1:25:04
  engraved Clydesdale Media logo.
• 1:25:07
  The two people that put
• 1:25:08
  theirs in ahead of time
• 1:25:10
  will get two entries into the drawing.
• 1:25:12
  Everybody that submits one
• 1:25:14
  between now and Sunday will
• 1:25:16
  get one entry into the drawing,
• 1:25:18
  and then we'll read them
• 1:25:18
  out and come up with what
• 1:25:20
  we think is like the best
• 1:25:21
  idea for an overall
• 1:25:23
  gauntlet-style workout that would travel.
• 1:25:25
  I say around, around sixty minutes.
• 1:25:28
  It doesn't need to be.
• 1:25:30
  Mine's around sixty.
• 1:25:31
  Yours is around sixty.
• 1:25:32
  Jamie was begging for ninety.
• 1:25:34
  Of course she was.
• 1:25:35
  But I'm also thinking about some, like,
• 1:25:37
  it can't be such high skill
• 1:25:39
  that we put away a lot of people too.
• 1:25:43
  Like I want it to be easy to
• 1:25:44
  judge and something that
• 1:25:46
  people can kind of go through.
• 1:25:47
  And it's just something
• 1:25:48
  that's like a baseline
• 1:25:51
  that's can be tested at
• 1:25:53
  multiple locations.
• 1:25:54
  And cause like the open is great.
• 1:25:56
  And that's like,
• 1:25:57
  I guess it's a baseline every year,
• 1:25:58
  but the workouts are always different.
• 1:26:00
  Like you don't actually like
• 1:26:02
  actually know,
• 1:26:03
  If you're fitter,
• 1:26:04
  there are different workouts.
• 1:26:07
  So this would be something
• 1:26:08
  that could stay a little
• 1:26:09
  bit more relevant.
• 1:26:10
  Like, yeah, we have so many benchmarks,
• 1:26:12
  but it's like just creating
• 1:26:13
  one pretty balanced workout
• 1:26:16
  with maybe different parts
• 1:26:18
  in it that everyone in the
• 1:26:20
  community can do either
• 1:26:22
  yearly or multiple times a year.
• 1:26:24
  was my idea of doing it.
• 1:26:26
  The professor, Professor Clyde,
• 1:26:28
  says this is due by next Sunday afternoon,
• 1:26:32
  just so I can copy and
• 1:26:33
  paste it into a document
• 1:26:35
  that I can share on screen
• 1:26:37
  so we can show it.
• 1:26:40
  And you can either you can
• 1:26:41
  either DM me on Instagram
• 1:26:43
  or you can put it on the
• 1:26:44
  YouTube comments.
• 1:26:45
  We prefer the YouTube
• 1:26:46
  comments because it helps
• 1:26:47
  the algorithm tremendously.
• 1:26:49
  But I'll take either at this point.
• 1:26:52
  Jody Lynn says one person workout.
• 1:26:54
  Yes.
• 1:26:55
  So back when I first started CrossFit,
• 1:26:57
  a lot of the competitions
• 1:26:58
  were waterfall style.
• 1:26:59
  You would do one workout.
• 1:27:01
  You would get a transition
• 1:27:02
  time or rest time to the next workout.
• 1:27:05
  Do that.
• 1:27:05
  another transition rest time to that.
• 1:27:08
  And you would just go
• 1:27:09
  through it and you'd be
• 1:27:09
  done in sixty to ninety minutes.
• 1:27:12
  But it's it's not just one
• 1:27:14
  steady workout for sixty to
• 1:27:15
  ninety minutes.
• 1:27:16
  It's a series of workouts
• 1:27:18
  with transition time.
• 1:27:23
  Yeah.
• 1:27:23
  And something that could get
• 1:27:24
  scaled because.
• 1:27:28
  So I actually have in two of
• 1:27:30
  my workouts and an elite
• 1:27:33
  version and an RX version.
• 1:27:37
  the workout who's the
• 1:27:39
  overachiever now so so we
• 1:27:43
  can we can we can be there
• 1:27:45
  for both both sides of the
• 1:27:47
  the community so uh craig
• 1:27:55
  says it's a good idea well
• 1:27:56
  carolyn came up with this
• 1:27:58
  and it's only taken us I
• 1:27:59
  can see uh lex's shadow on
• 1:28:01
  the wall she's like the lex shadow puppet
• 1:28:05
  because I I like the high
• 1:28:07
  rocks but I just find it so
• 1:28:09
  running dominant that I
• 1:28:13
  would like something like
• 1:28:14
  that that's a little bit
• 1:28:15
  more balanced in terms of
• 1:28:17
  crossfit so restrictions
• 1:28:20
  and equipment that can get
• 1:28:21
  used quite a bit like if
• 1:28:22
  you start adding rope
• 1:28:23
  climbs and now we gotta
• 1:28:25
  have you know rope ropes
• 1:28:27
  are gonna get destroyed
• 1:28:28
  during the day like they
• 1:28:29
  wouldn't even last
• 1:28:33
  Yeah, I thought about like what could be
• 1:28:38
  So my vision of this is that
• 1:28:40
  like high rocks, you have stations,
• 1:28:42
  you have like in my minus four workouts,
• 1:28:46
  you have station one,
• 1:28:47
  you transition to station two,
• 1:28:49
  which is another workout
• 1:28:51
  transition to station three,
• 1:28:52
  which is another workout
• 1:28:53
  transition to station four.
• 1:28:55
  So you can keep all the
• 1:28:56
  equipment in the same station all day,
• 1:28:59
  but you do want to think about,
• 1:29:01
  it's going to be banged on
• 1:29:02
  all day by a ton of athletes and
• 1:29:06
  Easy to judge.
• 1:29:11
  Yeah.
• 1:29:11
  And I do have running in mind.
• 1:29:13
  I'm just saying the whole
• 1:29:14
  thing doesn't need to be running.
• 1:29:17
  Yeah, I did not put running in mind.
• 1:29:19
  Shocker.
• 1:29:20
  Spoiler alert.
• 1:29:24
  Not even in the forethought
• 1:29:25
  of my mind to put running in this.
• 1:29:29
  But I think it came out well.
• 1:29:30
  I'm really proud of it
• 1:29:33
  because I never do programming.
• 1:29:35
  Like this was really outside
• 1:29:36
  the box for me.
• 1:29:38
  So I'm excited to get
• 1:29:39
  feedback on my workout.
• 1:29:42
  Back when I coached in like
• 1:29:43
  from fifteen to eighteen,
• 1:29:44
  I programmed a couple days,
• 1:29:47
  but it was very minimal.
• 1:29:49
  Would you claim that your
• 1:29:51
  workout is could balance out in terms of
• 1:29:56
  strength monostructural
• 1:29:59
  gymnastics like it would be
• 1:30:00
  a pretty fit test like a
• 1:30:02
  lot of the benchmark
• 1:30:03
  workouts like yes there's a
• 1:30:04
  lot of good ones but you
• 1:30:05
  need you would need
• 1:30:06
  multiple to kind of
• 1:30:07
  determine who's the fittest
• 1:30:08
  that day right so
• 1:30:11
  you would have enough stuff
• 1:30:11
  in there that you could
• 1:30:13
  claim this as a fit test
• 1:30:15
  and the fittest will come
• 1:30:16
  out is what you're saying.
• 1:30:17
  I tried to be balanced.
• 1:30:19
  Perfect.
• 1:30:19
  Awesome.
• 1:30:20
  Yeah.
• 1:30:22
  Inside or outside.
• 1:30:23
  It's ideally inside because
• 1:30:25
  of the weather.
• 1:30:26
  Yeah.
• 1:30:26
  You don't want to be,
• 1:30:27
  if you want to do a mass thing,
• 1:30:28
  it needs to be something
• 1:30:29
  that's rip that weather is
• 1:30:31
  not playing a factor in scores.
• 1:30:34
  Like you just want to see what the scores,
• 1:30:36
  the top scores and you can
• 1:30:37
  have a world championship.
• 1:30:39
  We're basing this off of High Rocks,
• 1:30:41
  which is always like in a
• 1:30:42
  convention center with
• 1:30:44
  indoor running or whatever it is.
• 1:30:45
  So, and just,
• 1:30:49
  we don't want to copy High Rocks.
• 1:30:51
  They do what they do and that's great.
• 1:30:53
  We just want to be a very
• 1:30:56
  cross-fitty version
• 1:30:58
  of a waterfall style workout
• 1:31:00
  and I would even say the
• 1:31:02
  two thoughts in my mind are
• 1:31:03
  gauntlet at waterpalooza if
• 1:31:05
  you've ever been there it's
• 1:31:06
  a sixty minute workout that
• 1:31:08
  anybody can sign up for and
• 1:31:09
  do from the from the crowd
• 1:31:12
  um and you do that straight
• 1:31:13
  through sixty minutes take
• 1:31:17
  that put it into the high
• 1:31:18
  rocks traveling show and
• 1:31:20
  that's what we're looking for
• 1:31:25
  Cindy is super simple,
• 1:31:27
  but a killer at the same time.
• 1:31:29
  I will tell you,
• 1:31:29
  Cindy was in mine and I took it out.
• 1:31:32
  So if you have to think
• 1:31:33
  about if you're going to put Cindy,
• 1:31:35
  I mean, that's all.
• 1:31:36
  I mean,
• 1:31:37
  that would be a short person range
• 1:31:39
  of motion.
• 1:31:39
  So you would have to balance
• 1:31:40
  that with something that
• 1:31:41
  would be also for tall
• 1:31:43
  people and strength bias.
• 1:31:46
  So, yeah,
• 1:31:47
  there's a lot of considerations to take.
• 1:31:49
  Like, well, Cindy is a great test.
• 1:31:51
  It wouldn't be the test of fitness.
• 1:31:55
  So I had Cindy as one of my pieces,
• 1:31:59
  and then I took it out
• 1:31:59
  because I wanted to use an
• 1:32:02
  element elsewhere.
• 1:32:04
  Does that make sense?
• 1:32:06
  I wanted to use an element
• 1:32:07
  of Cindy elsewhere,
• 1:32:09
  so I took Cindy out to be
• 1:32:11
  able to do that.
• 1:32:13
  And, yeah,
• 1:32:13
  you can use any equipment that
• 1:32:15
  you want to use.
• 1:32:19
  Yeah, you guys are getting the idea now.
• 1:32:21
  Short time domain, long time domain,
• 1:32:24
  and mix it up.
• 1:32:28
  So for my and this is a
• 1:32:29
  little spoiler alert for mine,
• 1:32:31
  I thought logistics because
• 1:32:33
  you want to keep it flowing.
• 1:32:35
  So I actually did with
• 1:32:37
  transition time for fifteen
• 1:32:39
  minute pieces.
• 1:32:41
  So that the stations would
• 1:32:43
  be changing at the same
• 1:32:44
  time and you would just keep moving.
• 1:32:47
  Does that make sense?
• 1:32:49
  Like I have three minutes in
• 1:32:50
  between my one that is for reps,
• 1:32:52
  but there's like different
• 1:32:54
  time domains because I'm
• 1:32:55
  trying to get different
• 1:32:55
  time domains as well.
• 1:32:58
  But mine right now is fifty minutes.
• 1:33:01
  Five zero.
• 1:33:03
  In total.
• 1:33:04
  And I think there's four parts as well.
• 1:33:07
  So, Clintus,
• 1:33:07
  I would say you can have as
• 1:33:09
  many lanes as you want.
• 1:33:10
  Probably ten to twenty.
• 1:33:12
  Because it depends on
• 1:33:13
  your... If you're in a convention center,
• 1:33:16
  and this isn't like a broadcasted thing.
• 1:33:18
  This is for the community to
• 1:33:19
  come out and hang out together.
• 1:33:21
  You can have a rig with two sides.
• 1:33:23
  Ten and ten.
• 1:33:25
  You can... If you're just doing...
• 1:33:28
  But you want to kind of keep
• 1:33:29
  it the same throughout the
• 1:33:31
  whole day so the same group
• 1:33:32
  of people can move together
• 1:33:34
  through the stations.
• 1:33:37
  But you're going to have a
• 1:33:38
  lot of space if you go to
• 1:33:39
  like a convention center
• 1:33:40
  and set this up into stations.
• 1:33:43
  And just move from one to the other.
• 1:33:46
  So think outside the box.
• 1:33:47
  As long as you can like
• 1:33:49
  figure it out logistically,
• 1:33:51
  I'm up for it.
• 1:33:54
  And easy to judge because we
• 1:33:55
  don't want to be on,
• 1:33:58
  on social media posting.
• 1:34:04
  Ken Walters.
• 1:34:04
  Honestly, safe pounds and feet.
• 1:34:07
  One of my metrics is also safety too.
• 1:34:08
  If you're,
• 1:34:09
  if I'm running a lot of people
• 1:34:10
  of different levels,
• 1:34:11
  it needs to be pretty safe.
• 1:34:13
  I didn't want to have any dealing with,
• 1:34:16
  like I said, like rope climbs or people,
• 1:34:18
  if you don't have the right
• 1:34:19
  equipment and things are falling apart,
• 1:34:22
  like,
• 1:34:23
  Safety is a big thing too.
• 1:34:25
  Yeah.
• 1:34:27
  But you guys get the idea.
• 1:34:28
  Again, you can win this cool water bottle.
• 1:34:34
  I actually have one still boxed up.
• 1:34:35
  You'd win that one, not this one.
• 1:34:36
  But water bottle or coffee cup,
• 1:34:39
  your choice.
• 1:34:41
  And then next week when we
• 1:34:43
  announce them all,
• 1:34:44
  then we can have a fan vote.
• 1:34:46
  And then maybe we have to do
• 1:34:47
  it in the new year.
• 1:34:50
  Okay.
• 1:34:52
  All right.
• 1:34:55
  We need a baseline for it.
• 1:34:57
  See if what we wrote is
• 1:34:58
  killing these athletes.
• 1:35:01
  Jodi wants to know,
• 1:35:02
  when will you be signing
• 1:35:03
  athletes up for this event?
• 1:35:05
  We have to decide which workout wins.
• 1:35:07
  Well, once we get our investor.
• 1:35:10
  Fifteen million.
• 1:35:12
  Yeah, the fifteen million.
• 1:35:13
  Once it comes in,
• 1:35:15
  we'll set this up and do
• 1:35:17
  the traveling road show.
• 1:35:21
  and fifteen million works
• 1:35:22
  both in metric and in uh
• 1:35:24
  american standard or
• 1:35:26
  english standard so I just
• 1:35:30
  think this could be like a
• 1:35:31
  cool baseline that's
• 1:35:32
  well-rounded that people do
• 1:35:34
  in the community that every
• 1:35:35
  year they could they could
• 1:35:37
  do a different location and
• 1:35:38
  meet up yeah and what's
• 1:35:42
  cool is you could do a
• 1:35:43
  world championship of it at
• 1:35:44
  the end of the year take
• 1:35:45
  the best times from all the
• 1:35:47
  different cities
• 1:35:48
  invite you you're assuming
• 1:35:50
  it's time what if it's reps
• 1:35:51
  like mine okay this of
• 1:35:56
  course I'm gonna go with mine of course
• 1:36:01
  Okay.
• 1:36:01
  Well, with that, guys, this has been fun.
• 1:36:04
  I love the interaction tonight.
• 1:36:05
