• 1:16
  on yesterday's show okay
• 1:19
  i had to share yes please and it
• 1:23
  all centered around something very very
• 1:25
  important and that is the fig newton oh
• 1:33
  i'm all ears so uh the first comment
• 1:38
  is corey's hard stance on fig newton had
• 1:41
  me dying worth noting i have a massive
• 1:44
  fig tree and fig newtons are incredibly
• 1:47
  difficult to make
• 1:49
  They come up more like fig turnovers,
• 1:51
  which are ten thousand percent better than
• 1:54
  a fig Newton.
• 1:57
  If the fig Newton is improved by ten
• 1:58
  thousand percent,
• 2:00
  is it something edible for Corey?
• 2:04
  Yeah,
• 2:04
  I'm going to go ahead and I'm going
• 2:05
  to go in.
• 2:06
  My grandmother used to have a fig tree
• 2:08
  as well, and I would eat figs.
• 2:12
  Like by themselves,
• 2:14
  I just think it makes no sense as
• 2:16
  a cookie.
• 2:17
  It's not a cookie.
• 2:19
  Ramirez has, look, there it is.
• 2:22
  Well, that was my next comment.
• 2:23
  I didn't want to jump to that yet.
• 2:25
  I wanted to give Amanda her time.
• 2:26
  Yeah, no, absolutely.
• 2:28
  She is, she is,
• 2:29
  she is one hundred percent correct.
• 2:32
  Yes.
• 2:33
  I love a Fig Newton.
• 2:34
  It doesn't need to be improved.
• 2:36
  It is perfect.
• 2:37
  And it is an amazing cookie.
• 2:40
  Now,
• 2:41
  just Ramirez says Fig Newton is not a
• 2:43
  cookie.
• 2:44
  It's a fig bar or a fruit filled
• 2:46
  snack.
• 2:48
  If you take four Fig Newtons and you
• 2:50
  put them in a line where the filling
• 2:53
  goes all the way through the middle,
• 2:55
  that's all that is.
• 2:57
  They took a Fig bar,
• 2:59
  cut it into four pieces,
• 3:00
  and then called it a cookie.
• 3:01
  It's not the same thing.
• 3:05
  Listen, it's not a Nutri-Grain bar.
• 3:08
  A Nutri-Grain bar is a fruit-filled bar.
• 3:10
  Absolutely.
• 3:12
  A Fig Newton is not that.
• 3:14
  That soft outer...
• 3:17
  Outer is a cookie.
• 3:18
  That is a cookie stuffed with figs.
• 3:22
  Now, I will tell you,
• 3:23
  when I was a kid,
• 3:25
  this popular cookie in my hometown,
• 3:28
  I don't know who thought this up,
• 3:29
  but it was called a raisin-filled cookie.
• 3:34
  So it was kind of like a sugar
• 3:36
  cookie with a bowl in the middle,
• 3:38
  and they put raisin goo in the bowl.
• 3:44
  That was awful.
• 3:46
  Still a cookie.
• 3:48
  Still a cookie.
• 3:52
  So you put fig goo inside a cookie.
• 3:55
  It's a cookie.
• 3:56
  Yeah,
• 3:58
  but I don't think a fig newton counts.
• 4:01
  If you took the middle part out of
• 4:03
  a fig newton,
• 4:04
  if you took the filling out of it,
• 4:07
  would you consider it to be a cookie?
• 4:08
  Because I would not.
• 4:09
  But if I took a chocolate chip out
• 4:11
  of a cookie,
• 4:12
  I wouldn't consider the chocolate chip a
• 4:13
  cookie.
• 4:16
  It's still a cookie.
• 4:18
  The chocolate chip by itself?
• 4:20
  No.
• 4:21
  I'm not talking about the fig.
• 4:23
  You take the fig part out.
• 4:24
  What do you have left?
• 4:28
  You have a sugar cookie.
• 4:35
  Mark's done with us.
• 4:35
  I'm unsubbing.
• 4:36
  This is ridiculous.
• 4:38
  Mark's had enough.
• 4:42
  Crazy.
• 4:45
  Vicky, I love figs.
• 4:47
  I love Fig Newtons.
• 4:48
  Love bacon-wrapped figs.
• 4:49
  Love all things fig.
• 4:51
  I have had a bacon-wrapped fig.
• 4:54
  It's extremely fancy.
• 4:55
  But to be fair,
• 4:58
  I could wrap this hat in bacon and
• 5:01
  I would eat it.
• 5:03
  That's how much I love bacon.
• 5:04
  So there's that.
• 5:09
  Ken Walters chiming in with Fig Newton
• 5:10
  falls into bar category of desserts.
• 5:15
  When did bars become a dessert?
• 5:19
  As soon as they started making Nutri-Grain
• 5:21
  bars.
• 5:23
  That ain't dessert.
• 5:25
  That's a snack.
• 5:27
  Okay.
• 5:27
  So is a cookie.
• 5:30
  No, a cookie is a dessert.
• 5:36
  Not the slow news day.
• 5:38
  Just trying to iron out some things from
• 5:40
  yesterday.
• 5:40
  That's all.
• 5:41
  Before we jump into things.
• 5:44
  Just trying to wrap some stuff up from
• 5:46
  yesterday.
• 5:46
  It's fine.
• 5:47
  Yeah, that's all.
• 5:51
  I love a Fig Newton.
• 5:52
  Corey hates a Fig Newton.
• 5:54
  Whatever.
• 5:57
  Figs are mid, as the kids say.
• 6:00
  Come on, man.
• 6:02
  I don't like super sweet desserts.
• 6:05
  Your Fig Newton is perfect.
• 6:07
  It's like just sweet enough to make me
• 6:10
  enjoy it.
• 6:11
  So if I sprinkled some salt on your
• 6:13
  Fig Newton, you'd be like, let's go.
• 6:19
  I don't need salt on it.
• 6:21
  mean that would make it even don't even
• 6:22
  get me into salted caramel because i don't
• 6:24
  even get that but oh dude salted caramel
• 6:27
  come on and then the last thing i
• 6:29
  want to wrap up from yesterday is i
• 6:31
  listened to the swamp pop playlist that
• 6:34
  you provided for me and it was actually
• 6:37
  very relaxing in a bad work day there
• 6:39
  you go
• 6:44
  Other than doing the butt thing,
• 6:47
  I didn't see a huge instrumental
• 6:50
  difference between it and other things.
• 6:54
  It just is like cool.
• 6:58
  What I sent you yesterday was, I think,
• 7:00
  like seven songs,
• 7:01
  something along those lines.
• 7:03
  And I guarantee you,
• 7:05
  out of the multitudes of weddings I have
• 7:08
  attended down here in South Louisiana,
• 7:10
  those seven songs have been played ninety
• 7:12
  nine percent of the time.
• 7:15

• 7:20

• 7:56
  we have the confirmed individuals for the
• 8:02
  rebel renegade games happening in about an
• 8:05
  hour and a half maybe oh okay um

  We have Eileen wars.
• 8:16
  We have Matilde, Garness, Var, Thurman,
• 8:18
  Mo, Hannah black.
• 8:20
  I could keep reading,
• 8:21
  but you're most of these names are not
• 8:24
  known.
• 8:25
  Uh, Evie,
• 8:26
  Evie Hollis is the only other one I
• 8:27
  really knew of in this field.
• 8:33
  They only get one spot.
• 8:37
  I think it's Matilde's to, to lose.
• 8:40
  Yeah, I would agree to that.
• 8:45
  If we go to the men,
• 8:48
  you have Max Krieg is there.
• 8:53
  Max!
• 8:54
  Sven Gienz dropped out of French to do
• 8:57

• 8:59
  And Ben Fowler.
• 9:05
  There's...
• 9:08
  Keelan Henry.
• 9:09

  Vicky's saying Tiago Luzes.
• 9:37
  That's the guy with the face tattoo.
• 9:41
  Very scary looking.
• 9:43
  Look at Max in South Africa, man.
• 9:48
  I love Max Craig.
• 9:51
  He is a fantastic human being.
• 9:52
  He is a Swifty.
• 9:57
  is a proud swifty as a matter of
• 9:58
  fact he is one of the most interesting
• 10:01
  people i've ever met in my entire life
• 10:02
  to have a conversation with and i hope
• 10:04
  to god he just does all does all
• 10:06
  the things and punches his ticket he works
• 10:08
  his ass off and he deserves to go
• 10:11
  i love max as well he's been trained
• 10:14
  by
• 10:16
  one miss uh burger here in town yep
• 10:21
  a friend of mine but i think this
• 10:24
  is ruan puck guider's competition to win
• 10:29
  tiago is pretty fit too max will be
• 10:33
  up there though he should he he'll be
• 10:34
  in the fight i have no question i
• 10:36
  have no doubt about that so i just
• 10:38
  hope he does what he can't if i'm
• 10:40
  pulling for somebody i'm pulling for max
• 10:43
  Seema wants to know if this is a
• 10:46
  CrossFit semifinal.
• 10:47
  Yes, it is.
• 10:48
  Absolutely.
• 10:49
  It is the Rebel Renegade Games.
• 10:53
  Vicky, let us know.
• 10:54
  Teams are actually on right now on the
• 10:56
  stream.
• 10:56
  Oh, I didn't know they were doing teams.
• 10:59
  Yeah,
• 11:00
  I think they get one team in too.
• 11:04
  But they only get one spot to the
• 11:05
  games.
• 11:08
  Well, let's go, Maxie.
• 11:11
  Max is getting internationalized of late.
• 11:13
  Yeah,
• 11:13
  he's hitting all the international spots.
• 11:19
  He had dinner at least one night with
• 11:21
  Brandon and Sammy.
• 11:26
  Yeah, he's a good dude, man.
• 11:29
  I agree.
• 11:30
  He's a great dude.
• 11:35
  So yesterday...
• 11:38
  mr castro was all over the place so
• 11:45
  let's check that out i saved a couple
• 11:49
  things so he did a behind the scenes
• 11:54
  and with that he was talking about kind
• 11:57
  of walking the way the athletes will enter
• 12:00
  the stadium
• 12:02
  at the sap center okay and with that
• 12:05
  i think it's like a marketing thing to
• 12:07
  because he they followed him walking out
• 12:10
  of the tunnel and then it opens up
• 12:12
  to this big arena with all these seats
• 12:15
  and the the lights and all that stuff
• 12:17
  now no floor anything because they're
• 12:18
  still playing hockey or we're playing
• 12:21
  hockey or basketball or so i don't know
• 12:23
  but anyway hockey ball he does all that
• 12:27
  But in that conversation,
• 12:30
  this was clipped by Dents.
• 12:32
  So I'm going to play this for you.
• 12:35
  Sure I am.
• 12:36
  History.
• 12:38
  Our past.
• 12:40
  The legacy of CrossFit.
• 12:41
  The legacy of the CrossFit Games.
• 12:43
  What is the legacy of the CrossFit Games?
• 12:46
  The ultimate test to find the fittest man
• 12:48
  and woman alive.
• 12:50
  Are you going to pull from old workouts?
• 12:53
  Time will tell.
• 12:55
  Time will tell.
• 12:56
  What's the inspiration this year?
• 12:58
  Our history.
• 13:00
  So you get it.
• 13:01
  He's so cagey, dude.
• 13:04
  Time will tell.
• 13:05
  That means yes.
• 13:07
  Well,
• 13:08
  you go on to this long diatribe that
• 13:11
  this year is about our history,
• 13:13
  this year is about our legacy,
• 13:15
  all of that stuff.
• 13:16
  Are you going to pull from that?
• 13:17
  Time will tell.
• 13:18
  Yeah.
• 13:19
  Come on, dude.
• 13:20
  He's not going to answer a direct
• 13:21
  question.
• 13:22
  I know,
• 13:22
  but he already pretty much answered it by
• 13:24
  the way he answered the first part.
• 13:26
  Absolutely.
• 13:27
  He's trying to be kind of cagey.
• 13:30
  Well, I mean, time will tell.
• 13:31
  You just talked about the fact that we've
• 13:33
  been doing this for twenty years.
• 13:35
  Come on, dude.
• 13:36
  Yeah.
• 13:37
  So I think that was pretty obvious.
• 13:42
  Jacob Matthew Seymour says,
• 13:45
  suites seem dope.
• 13:46
  He did when he walked out, he talked,
• 13:48
  there are going to be four floor suites
• 13:50
  at the finish line that people can
• 13:53
  purchase.
• 13:54
  I think I've already purchased.
• 13:56
  And then he showed the whole upper ring
• 13:59
  are private box suites.
• 14:02
  And I think he mentioned in the video,
• 14:04
  the full length video,
• 14:07
  those may already be sold damn good so
• 14:14
  that's awesome so that's that's good news
• 14:18
  now if they could sell some seats that
• 14:20
  would help but hopefully like as more
• 14:23
  people qualify more seats get sold because
• 14:26
  now you know who you want to go
• 14:28
  support
• 14:30
  as the floor gets set.
• 14:32
  Yeah.
• 14:32
  Well, the field gets set rather.
• 14:34
  I would, I would agree.
• 14:34
  That's probably going to,
• 14:36
  and as you get closer to it,
• 14:37
  because the people are waiting, dude,
• 14:38
  like every year it happens, right?
• 14:40
  They, they, they, they get up close.
• 14:43
  There's still seats left.
• 14:44
  All of a sudden you can get decent
• 14:46
  seats at a ridiculously discounted rate.
• 14:48
  And they just go ahead and start,
• 14:50
  they start filling up at that point.
• 14:52
  So it'll be fine.
• 14:56
  So leader said,
• 14:56
  wasn't that the inspo for last year back
• 14:58
  to classic CrossFit?
• 15:01
  I think last year was a forced back
• 15:05
  to classic CrossFit because in my opinion,
• 15:10
  the board of, excuse me,
• 15:11
  the board of directors,
• 15:14
  the board of directors didn't want the
• 15:18
  liability of outdoor events.
• 15:20
  Yeah.
• 15:22
  Other than a run.
• 15:25
  And so everything was brought inside,
• 15:28
  pretty much handcuffing them to classic
• 15:30
  CrossFit.
• 15:31
  And he had no choice.
• 15:33
  He doing it like as if it was
• 15:34
  in a gym setting,
• 15:35
  just on a larger scale.
• 15:37
  Yeah.
• 15:39
  So, um,
• 15:45
  he always pulls from old workouts to
• 15:47
  outside one ranch and two,
• 15:50
  he will try to reboot a capital style
• 15:51
  workout.
• 15:54
  I don't know.
• 15:55
  I don't, I'm,
• 15:57
  I don't want to be pessimistic about this.
• 15:59
  I want to be optimistic about this.
• 16:00
  I, I,
• 16:02
  Maybe he is inspired.
• 16:03
  And if he pulls from old workouts,
• 16:04
  so be it.
• 16:06
  So what?
• 16:07
  Who cares?
• 16:07
  Or modifies old workouts.
• 16:09
  I mean,
• 16:09
  you can only put things together so many
• 16:11
  different ways.
• 16:12
  We did Murph two years in a row
• 16:16
  at the games.
• 16:16
  They did Fibonacci two years in a row.
• 16:19
  They did Murph two years in a row,
• 16:21
  but they switched it up.
• 16:23
  That's what I'm getting at.
• 16:25
  You can pull from old stuff and then
• 16:26
  make it slightly different or different
• 16:29
  enough to matter anyway and going from
• 16:31
  ginormous big sets to not quite so
• 16:33
  ginormous big sets and now everybody's
• 16:34
  complaining about the sun.
• 16:36
  I would not bitch if Strongman's Fear came
• 16:38
  back.
• 16:39
  I would not either.
• 16:41
  Two-stroke pull.
• 16:45
  Pick some stuff, dude.
• 16:46
  Some cool stuff.
• 16:48
  Something along the lines of Chaos again.
• 16:51
  like a chaos two with different movements
• 16:53
  and nobody knows what they are.
• 16:54
  And we're lining up everybody at the same
• 16:56
  time and let them roll.
• 16:57
  That was fun to watch, dude.
• 17:00
  You don't know what's going on.
• 17:02
  You just know who's in the lead.
• 17:04
  You can kind of watch people try to
• 17:05
  game it and whatnot.
• 17:06
  That was fun to watch.
• 17:08
  That's one of my favorite events that ever
• 17:10
  happened.
• 17:13
  Um,
• 17:16
  Us Masters Games athletes are getting a
• 17:18
  free ticket for Friday only.
• 17:20
  If we want to spectate for the other
• 17:22
  two days,
• 17:23
  we still need to buy a three-day pass,
• 17:24
  no discount, nothing.
• 17:26
  They did put single-day tickets on sale,
• 17:29
  I believe, a couple days ago.
• 17:35
  Yeah, last year was the safety games.
• 17:38
  They just didn't have anybody in padded
• 17:40
  helmets and
• 17:42
  full full body pads and whatnot out there
• 17:45
  just in case like they were worried to
• 17:46
  death about it and i get it like
• 17:48
  i'm not mad at him for it it
• 17:50
  was still made and you still had some
• 17:51
  good races you know the men's field and
• 17:54
  especially like it was down to the last
• 17:57
  day before jason actually won it so good
• 18:00
  on them they may do what they had
• 18:02
  right they worked within the confines of
• 18:04
  their restrictions and they made it they
• 18:07
  made it as good as they possibly could
• 18:09
  so
• 18:09
  This year,
• 18:10
  hopefully that rain is a little bit
• 18:12
  loosened a little bit so they can move
• 18:14
  forward and do some cool stuff.
• 18:16
  It's going to have to see.
• 18:19
  Jacob says, no matter what they,
• 18:20
  when they return to outdoor risky events,
• 18:23
  risky, they will say, oh,
• 18:25
  now we forget about the tragedy.
• 18:27
  And a subset of people will be butthurt.
• 18:28
  You can't worry about those.
• 18:30
  No,
• 18:31
  but I think what he's getting at is
• 18:32
  that it's a vocal subset of people because
• 18:34
  they're going to be the first ones on
• 18:36
  there going, well,
• 18:37
  nobody cares about Lazar anymore.
• 18:40
  yeah no everybody's still sad that he's
• 18:41
  going dude like nobody's forgotten about
• 18:44
  him it's kind of hard to forget about
• 18:45
  him at this point so they make noise
• 18:49
  and then that gets highlighted because you
• 18:51
  can't help but see it on whatever post
• 18:52
  that you see everywhere whether it's on
• 18:54
  the instagram comments the youtube
• 18:56
  comments or whatnot so i i get what
• 18:58
  he's saying i personally just try to
• 19:01
  scroll past it because it's it you're not
• 19:04
  helping anybody at that point
• 19:06
  You're complaining to complain again,
• 19:09
  like we've been talking about all week.
• 19:10
  Those people are there specifically just
• 19:13
  to bitch about it because they need
• 19:15
  something to complain about because I
• 19:17
  don't like the way this is going.
• 19:18
  So I'm going to say what I got
• 19:20
  to say.
• 19:20
  They're the same people who get their
• 19:21
  order, get, you know,
• 19:25
  fifteen French fries at Chick-fil-A
• 19:27
  instead of seventeen French fries at
• 19:29
  Chick-fil-A and bring the bag back.
• 19:32
  Because I didn't get exactly what I
• 19:34
  ordered.
• 19:35
  It's the same thing.
• 19:35
  Well,
• 19:36
  the Chick-fil-A fries are a big waffle
• 19:38
  fry.
• 19:38
  So if you're missing two of me,
• 19:40
  it's a big deal.
• 19:41
  I'm just kidding.
• 19:45
  What I will say is if I have
• 19:48
  a criticism of CrossFit in this regard is
• 19:52
  I think sometimes they listen to the vocal
• 19:55
  minority.
• 19:56
  Yes.
• 19:57
  instead of especially the new regime the
• 20:01
  newest newer regime hopefully that changes
• 20:05
  with the new ceo but and the newer
• 20:08
  regime tends to listen to the vocal
• 20:11
  minority yeah instead of doing what they
• 20:14
  believe is right
• 20:18
  And I hope that comes to an end.
• 20:20
  And it didn't used to be like that.
• 20:21
  And people like us remember when it wasn't
• 20:23
  like that.
• 20:25
  When they were just like, hey, bro,
• 20:26
  this is what we're doing.
• 20:28
  Like it, don't like it, cool.
• 20:29
  We really don't care.
• 20:30
  We're just moving forward.
• 20:32
  So many years in a row,
• 20:33
  I would hear Boz and Dave and all
• 20:35
  these people say,
• 20:37
  we changed this because people said this.
• 20:41
  And when they say that, I'm like,
• 20:43
  that was like,
• 20:44
  ten percent of the population were
• 20:47
  bitching to bitch.
• 20:48
  And you guys dove into something that
• 20:50
  wasn't a real complaint.
• 20:53
  And when you do that,
• 20:54
  those people feel vindicated.
• 20:57
  And they get louder, and they're like,
• 20:58
  well, we made change.
• 21:01
  Yeah, but did you make good change?
• 21:03
  No, you did not.
• 21:06
  Ninety percent of the time,
• 21:07
  that did not do anybody any good.
• 21:09
  All it did was pull back the reins,
• 21:14
  stifle creativity as far as programming is
• 21:16
  concerned,
• 21:17
  and just made a worse show for everybody.
• 21:20
  Who wants to see that?
• 21:28
  um yeah we don't even have to do
• 21:32
  that jacob to to i mean no i
• 21:35
  see comments all the time it's yeah we
• 21:38
  get some of those yeah as a matter
• 21:41
  of fact yes vicky listening to the wrong
• 21:45
  percent of the voices yes so we talked
• 21:50
  about safety and talking about forgetting
• 21:52
  lazar
• 21:54
  Dave was also doing a,
• 21:57
  one of his athlete interviews with Sahir
• 21:59
  Maya.
• 22:01
  I probably didn't pronounce that
• 22:03
  perfectly, but it's fine.
• 22:04
  I know we knew you, me.
• 22:06
  Um, okay.
• 22:08
  And then this,
• 22:09
  so he asked swimming comes up in this
• 22:13
  interview.
• 22:14
  Second question is you mentioned you
• 22:15
  finished, um, second to last or,
• 22:18
  or almost last on the swim event.
• 22:21
  Um,
• 22:21
  is swimming another one of your
• 22:23
  weaknesses?
• 22:24
  Yeah,
• 22:25
  that's one of the questions I was going
• 22:27
  to ask you if we were swimming this
• 22:29
  year.
• 22:31
  Have you been working on it?
• 22:32
  I was in the pool this morning because
• 22:36
  I have a feeling.
• 22:39
  She was not in Nepal.
• 22:39
  Probably a good training to include
• 22:44
  swimming.
• 22:45
  That's not a bad idea.
• 22:48
  Not a bad idea.
• 22:51
  Not a bad idea.
• 22:54
  Now, my guess is if they swim,
• 22:55
  it's going to be in a pool.
• 22:56
  I would one hundred percent agree with
• 22:58
  that.
• 22:59
  Then I get it.
• 22:59
  They're not getting an ocean.
• 23:00
  That's not happening.
• 23:02
  But.
• 23:04
  I'm glad.
• 23:06
  Hopefully.
• 23:08
  Hopefully.
• 23:10
  Hopefully we get back to a pool and
• 23:12
  we stop being afraid.
• 23:17
  Don't so much that you can do.
• 23:20
  We were.
• 23:20
  Hmm.
• 23:23
  Jacob is telling me how to pronounce it.
• 23:25
  Thank you so much.
• 23:26
  Sierra, like the country.
• 23:27
  Syria.
• 23:28
  Meha.
• 23:29
  Syria.
• 23:30
  The country is Syria.
• 23:33
  Syria.
• 23:34
  Syria, Meha.
• 23:35
  Yeah, I can read too.
• 23:37
  Here's the thing, and this just struck me,
• 23:41
  okay?
• 23:42
  The Capitol, when we did the Capitol,
• 23:45
  that was in an open course, right?
• 23:49
  They were just running.
• 23:53
  somebody comes through because there's a
• 23:54
  there's a they're running on a sidewalk
• 23:56
  right next to the street um might get
• 24:01
  hit by a car just running on the
• 24:06
  street gets taken out right there somebody
• 24:09
  drunk driver somebody falls asleep at the
• 24:10
  wheel and any one of a number of
• 24:12
  things gonna happen
• 24:14
  They jump, somebody gets clipped, smashed,
• 24:17
  boom,
• 24:18
  all of a sudden the event's over because
• 24:20
  somebody just got hit by a car and
• 24:21
  the police had to shut down the entire
• 24:23
  course and whatnot.
• 24:25
  Do we not run anymore?
• 24:28
  Do we not do another outdoor run anymore
• 24:32
  forever for the next three years because
• 24:34
  somebody on an open course got hit by
• 24:36
  a car?
• 24:36
  Is that a thing?
• 24:37
  Not only will we stop running,
• 24:39
  but we're not allowed to drive either.
• 24:40
  We're not allowed to drive.
• 24:41
  All of us have to Uber now at
• 24:42
  every event.
• 24:44
  I don't,
• 24:45
  that's the overreaction that happens in
• 24:47
  those things.
• 24:48
  Yeah.
• 24:48
  And, and I always,
• 24:49
  I always compare it to like a pendulum
• 24:51
  swing.
• 24:52
  Right.
• 24:53
  Last year,
• 24:54
  the pendulum swung from what we were doing
• 24:56
  all the way to the other side,
• 24:59
  to the safety games.
• 25:01
  Yeah.
• 25:02
  As that pendulum goes back and forth,
• 25:04
  it stops swinging as far.
• 25:07
  And hopefully you get to the middle of
• 25:09
  common sense.
• 25:13
  i never like the over the the the
• 25:17
  holy the holy crap overreaction it's like
• 25:20
  oh that's oh we can't uh we can't
• 25:22
  swim anymore okay it's just it's terrible
• 25:24
  so joseph has a suggestion just add more
• 25:27
  machines yeah just put them on the air
• 25:29
  runners after that
• 25:37
  At Torian,
• 25:38
  Royce wasn't a hundred percent confident.
• 25:41
  The ruck wasn't going to be entirely shut
• 25:42
  down for the runners,
• 25:44
  according to the most recent podcast.
• 25:47
  Got to accept some risk and logistical
• 25:49
  impossibilities.
• 25:52
  Everyday life, you assume risk.
• 25:57
  Every day you wake up.
• 25:58
  Yep.
• 26:00
  You get on the road,
• 26:00
  you get hit by a bus.
• 26:02
  Boom.
• 26:02
  Your day's over with.
• 26:04
  It does not matter.
• 26:06
  I know people,
• 26:07
  especially once you getting into my age
• 26:10
  group and Scott's age group where you bend
• 26:12
  over to pick something up off the floor
• 26:14
  and it's not even heavy and you throw
• 26:16
  your back out because it happens.
• 26:19
  You have to accept some level of risk.
• 26:22
  It has to be there.
• 26:23
  It's inherent in everything you do.
• 26:26
  And then when you start trying to look
• 26:27
  for the fittest on earth,
• 26:29
  that level goes up and everybody that's
• 26:31
  there at the games
• 26:33
  no matter what level you're at,
• 26:36
  assumes that level of risk when they show
• 26:38
  up and assumes that, hey, man,
• 26:39
  something crazy might happen.
• 26:44
  Agreed.
• 26:44
  Rich fell off a rope.
• 26:48
  He wasn't two feet in the air.
• 26:50
  He wasn't four feet in the air.
• 26:51
  He was at the top of the rope
• 26:53
  when he fell all the way down and
• 26:55
  landed on that freaking Home Depot bucket.
• 26:58
  Pat and Matt fell off the top of
• 27:00
  the cargo net.
• 27:01
  If I sneeze wrong,
• 27:02
  I'm out for a week.
• 27:09
  Yeah.
• 27:09
  CrossFit emerged with an undertone of
• 27:11
  acceptance of risk.
• 27:12
  People still crave the refreshing sense of
• 27:14
  balanced view on risk versus reward.
• 27:16
  Yeah.
• 27:19
  Dave's background is military.
• 27:20
  The U.S.
• 27:21
  military has zero common sense and teaches
• 27:23
  that why do we think we have to
• 27:26
  have it at the games?
• 27:28
  It's not Dave's common sense.
• 27:29
  Guys, get off of Dave.
• 27:33
  All of this was mandated by the board
• 27:35
  of directors.
• 27:39
  We want to think Dave is the end-all
• 27:41
  be-all to this games thing.
• 27:43
  He answers to people.
• 27:48
  He's been doing it all his life.
• 27:49
  He's in the military.
• 27:51
  It's always somebody higher up.
• 27:55
  Always somebody higher up.
• 28:00
  Yeah, Mark's completely right.
• 28:05
  CrossFit started out as Metal AF.
• 28:07
  It's what drew people in.
• 28:09
  Dude, I...
• 28:11
  Honestly,
• 28:12
  like when I walked into a CrossFit gym,
• 28:13
  it was so different, so refreshing,
• 28:16
  so competitive.
• 28:17
  So what I was missing in my life.
• 28:20
  Yeah.
• 28:22
  All of those things.
• 28:25
  The first.
• 28:27
  workout I ever did where I went where
• 28:31
  I was hooked like all the way in
• 28:34
  I don't remember what it was but I
• 28:36
  remember laying on the ground trying to
• 28:39
  breathe sweating profusely heart beating
• 28:42
  out of my chest and thinking I want
• 28:45
  more of that
• 28:48
  Whatever that was, I need more of that.
• 28:50
  It's like, uh,
• 28:51
  Neo in the matrix when he, when they,
• 28:55
  the first time they,
• 28:55
  they upload something to his brain and
• 28:58
  he's like,
• 28:58
  I know Kung Fu and he's sitting there
• 29:01
  and he comes out of it and Oh,
• 29:02
  Mikey likes it.
• 29:03
  Yup.
• 29:04
  He sure does.
• 29:05
  Cause that feels amazing.
• 29:07
  And I want to do that again.
• 29:09
  I want to push myself again.
• 29:10
  I want to,
• 29:11
  I don't want to say hurt myself,
• 29:13
  but I mean, it hurts.
• 29:14
  CrossFit hurts.
• 29:16
  It's not a secret.
• 29:18
  Larry Young with the Super Chat.
• 29:20
  I found JR saying your bias should change
• 29:23
  every comp refreshing.
• 29:25
  And I'll give kudos to your son, Larry.
• 29:27
  I watched his two thousand fourteen
• 29:28
  analysis.
• 29:29
  I haven't talked about all of the
• 29:31
  different games and how every one of the
• 29:34
  games had a bias and that.
• 29:36
  And he said this.
• 29:38
  That's OK.
• 29:39
  It's OK for every competition to have a
• 29:41
  bias in that sport.
• 29:45
  That is sport.
• 29:49
  when you are playing football,
• 29:51
  you don't know the weather conditions.
• 29:53
  You don't know the wind speed.
• 29:55
  You don't know a lot of things.
• 29:56
  When you're playing golf, hell,
• 29:58
  if there's a gust of wind,
• 30:00
  your ball could go off into whatever,
• 30:03
  right?
• 30:04
  Sand traps are not always in the same
• 30:05
  place.
• 30:05
  The whole location changes.
• 30:08
  Everything can have a bias and it's going
• 30:11
  to affect the overall overall
• 30:14
  the overall outlook and performance of the
• 30:17
  athletes at that event.
• 30:20
  Yep.
• 30:20
  And it's okay.
• 30:23
  It's actually a good thing because it, it,
• 30:27
  it better prepares you for the crazy stuff
• 30:30
  that might happen on a regular everyday
• 30:31
  basis.
• 30:36
  the more adverse the conditions that you
• 30:39
  finish something in,
• 30:40
  that you start something in and then
• 30:41
  finish something in when you can do it
• 30:44
  again.
• 30:44
  And because measurable, observable,
• 30:47
  repeatable, it's a repeatable part.
• 30:49
  And now it's, well,
• 30:50
  last time I did this,
• 30:51
  it was four hundred degrees outside and
• 30:53
  ninety nine percent humidity.
• 30:54
  And today it's seventy five and sunny and
• 30:57
  breezy.
• 30:58
  This should be better.
• 30:59
  But I finished it when it was four
• 31:01
  hundred degrees and ninety ninety nine
• 31:02
  percent humidity.
• 31:03
  So it's
• 31:05
  you have to be able to get through
• 31:06
  all that.
• 31:08
  And thank you very much, Larry,
• 31:09
  for the super chat.
• 31:11
  A hundred percent.
• 31:14
  Uh, speaking of the foreign degrees,
• 31:16
  Athena wants to know if you got your
• 31:17
  fan situation squared, squared away.
• 31:19
  Yeah.
• 31:19
  Um, it,
• 31:20
  so obviously we don't have air
• 31:22
  conditioning in our building and all,
• 31:23
  we have a very much a metal roof
• 31:25
  and the fan is probably fan is probably
• 31:28
  a foot and a half.
• 31:29
  If that from the metal roof and it
• 31:30
  was hot as shit,
• 31:31
  it happens from time to time.
• 31:33
  It gets overheated.
• 31:35
  It shuts down for a little while.
• 31:36
  If you just turn it off and leave
• 31:38
  it alone, it goes back on.
• 31:41
  It's a pretty bad day when your fan
• 31:43
  overheats.
• 31:44
  yeah it's just because it's just because
• 31:46
  it wouldn't where it is in particular a
• 31:48
  lot of those big ass fans or like
• 31:50
  they have enough ceiling you know for it
• 31:52
  to drop down and have enough airflow in
• 31:54
  between it where it never overheats and
• 31:56
  generally speaking or this happens a
• 31:59
  couple times a year um but it's ours
• 32:02
  because our ceilings aren't super high
• 32:04
  it's so close to that metal roof that
• 32:06
  if you got a good hot sunny day
• 32:08
  when it's ninety something degrees outside
• 32:10
  there's a chance it could overheat
• 32:13
  Can't you get a big ass fan for
• 32:14
  the floor?
• 32:15
  Can you make them?
• 32:16
  We had two giant box fans in that
• 32:18
  room as well.
• 32:19
  And then two other ones on the other
• 32:20
  side by the way.
• 32:21
  You didn't just say box fan, did you?
• 32:23
  Yeah.
• 32:25
  I mean, it's not an actual box,
• 32:26
  but yeah,
• 32:26
  we got two big old fans that we
• 32:29
  can roll around on wheels.
• 32:30
  They're circle, right?
• 32:32
  Yeah, they are.
• 32:33
  That ain't a box fan, man.
• 32:34
  That's like an industrial fan.
• 32:35
  I understand that,
• 32:35
  but I don't know what else to call
• 32:37
  it.
• 32:38
  And we ain't like at grandma's house with
• 32:40
  a little box fan in the corner.
• 32:43
  No,
• 32:43
  but I've done that in my garage before.
• 32:46
  Sure.
• 32:46
  And what help is that in your garage?
• 32:49
  Not a whole lot.
• 32:50
  It was more mental than anything else.
• 32:52
  You might as well blow on your hand.
• 32:54
  Yeah, pretty much.
• 32:55
  Ooh, there's a breeze.
• 32:59
  One of them Southern Lady fans.
• 33:02
  I probably have to have a mint julep
• 33:03
  in the other hand.
• 33:04
  But anyway.
• 33:05
  Is it better to vent out the heat
• 33:07
  or have floor fans to move the hot
• 33:09
  air?
• 33:09
  We have exhaust fans because it's an old
• 33:12
  industrial building.
• 33:13
  But mostly what they do is make noise.
• 33:18
  Like they are loud as shit.
• 33:21
  And sometimes people,
• 33:23
  it depends on who's coaching.
• 33:24
  Sometimes they'll run them.
• 33:25
  Sometimes they won't.
• 33:25
  And I don't find that they make any
• 33:27
  difference whatsoever aside from making it
• 33:29
  way louder in there than it needs to
• 33:30
  be.
• 33:32
  Brux's rolling big-ass swamp coolers are
• 33:34
  nice.
• 33:35
  They are.
• 33:35
  They're expensive, though.
• 33:38
  Like, a lot.
• 33:40
  Yeah, it's hot.
• 33:40
  Everybody hop on the Echo bike.
• 33:42
  There you go.
• 33:46
  We are the machines.
• 33:47
  Machines, baby.
• 33:48
  Get on the bike.
• 33:49
  You want to get cool?
• 33:51
  If you really want to get down there,
• 33:53
  you get one of your friends to get
• 33:54
  on the bike and fan you.
• 33:55
  You just stand there in front of the
• 33:56
  bike.
• 33:58
  Works well.
• 34:00
  Well, I have a one o'clock meeting.
• 34:01
  I hate that.
• 34:03
  But there's one thing I did want to
• 34:05
  leave you guys with.
• 34:06
  And it comes with a little story.
• 34:08
  When I, you know, I am,
• 34:09
  the reason this show is named Clydesdale
• 34:11
  is because I'm a larger man.
• 34:14
  You big dude.
• 34:15
  Right.
• 34:17
  And it comes from,
• 34:20
  I always wanted to run events.
• 34:22
  And back in the day,
• 34:24
  some of the running events would have a
• 34:25
  Clydesdale division.
• 34:26
  Sure.
• 34:28
  If you were over two hundred pounds or
• 34:29
  two twenty five or something like that,
• 34:31
  you could enter the Clydesdale division
• 34:33
  and just compete against people like that.
• 34:35
  Well,
• 34:35
  I would always play pickup basketball.
• 34:37
  I loved playing pickup basketball.
• 34:40
  But I never got any fouls called on
• 34:44
  people playing.
• 34:45
  blocking me charging me or whatever
• 34:48
  because of my large stature people just
• 34:51
  kind of they assume you just knocking
• 34:53
  people over yeah right so i found a
• 34:57
  guy who is going through the same thing
• 34:59
  i did when i was a kid i
• 35:01
  love this video by the way and i
• 35:04
  and i had to share it so i'm
• 35:08
  gonna pull this up
• 35:15
  Here we go.
• 35:16
  Here we go.
• 35:19
  That's his friend.
• 35:21
  That's his teammate.
• 35:26
  You never, ever, never,
• 35:28
  ever celebrate with a Clydesdale.
• 35:31
  Here's the thing.
• 35:31
  You can.
• 35:33
  Don't get airborne.
• 35:37
  But the little subtlety,
• 35:38
  do you see him blow the kiss before
• 35:40
  he hits the three?
• 35:40
  That's perfect, dude.
• 35:41
  That's perfect.
• 35:42
  He juked that dude out of his shoes
• 35:43
  and was like, watch this.
• 35:46
  I'm going to play it one more time.
• 35:48
  Watch for him blowing the kiss.
• 35:58
  That is my man.
• 36:00
  love it laced it ran back and his
• 36:02
  teammates trying to celebrate with him god
• 36:04
  bless him it didn't work out well yeah
• 36:10
  good stuff good i just had to share
• 36:12
  it it just felt like old times on
• 36:14
  the basketball court for me uh daniel
• 36:17
  arnson wants to know how tall i am
• 36:19
  i am five eleven just a shade under
• 36:23
  six foot
• 36:29
  So, yeah, when I started CrossFit,
• 36:33
  that was tall for being a CrossFitter.
• 36:36
  Not anymore.
• 36:37
  Now we got the hoppers and the sprags
• 36:39
  and the peppers and making me look
• 36:43
  shorter.
• 36:43
  All them big boys.
• 36:46
  But when I was rooming with Corey,
• 36:48
  there was definitely a difference in our
• 36:49
  height.
• 36:49
  A hundred percent.
• 36:51
  We figured that out day one.
• 36:52
  Yeah, pretty quick.
• 36:56
  So hanging out with Corey, I feel tall.
• 36:59
  Anybody who ever wants to feel tall,
• 37:00
  just come stand next to me.
• 37:02
  I'm perfectly fine with that.
• 37:06
  Seema, me too.
• 37:07
  I'm five-eleven and three-quarters.
• 37:09
  My doctor says I can't say six feet.
• 37:13
  You can be six feet tall, Seema.
• 37:15
  It's fine.
• 37:15
  You can be whatever you want to be.
• 37:17
  It's two-twenty-twenty-six.
• 37:18
  You can literally be whatever the hell you
• 37:20
  want to be.
• 37:20
  It doesn't even matter anymore.
• 37:25
  Yeah, when I was in high school,
• 37:28
  I tried to say I was six feet.
• 37:30
  Oh, speaking about six feet.
• 37:31
  So David Johnston,
• 37:34
  when he and I met in person or
• 37:35
  right before that, when he said,
• 37:38
  asking me if the short guys were going
• 37:40
  to dominate one of the events at Magic
• 37:41
  City.
• 37:42
  And I was like, I mean,
• 37:43
  maybe I said,
• 37:45
  I've been five foot six since I was
• 37:46
  fifteen.
• 37:46
  He's like, damn it.
• 37:50
  He said in my head,
• 37:51
  you were six feet tall.
• 37:52
  He said,
• 37:52
  I just assume everybody's the same height
• 37:54
  as me.
• 37:54
  And I was like,
• 37:55
  I am not the same height as you.
• 37:58
  Yeah.
• 37:59
  David Johnson is a specimen at six feet
• 38:01
  tall.
• 38:02
  That dude is carved out of granite.
• 38:04
  It is absolutely insane.
• 38:06
  He is absurdly strong.
• 38:08
  And he's a great dude.
• 38:09
  Love that dude.
• 38:11
  Daniel is six three.
• 38:13
  He used to be too big for this.
• 38:15
  Yeah, now you're not anymore.
• 38:16
  Not anymore.
• 38:18
  Now I just hope for rowing and echo
• 38:20
  bike.
• 38:23
  That's all.
• 38:27
  Well, God, I hate cutting these short,
• 38:29
  but I got to go to a meeting.
• 38:31
  It's been a hell week, man.
• 38:33
  I stopped drinking two and a half years
• 38:35
  ago.
• 38:37
  This week has me this close to picking
• 38:40
  it back up again.
• 38:41
  My wife has been about the same amount
• 38:43
  of time and every once in a while,
• 38:45
  I mean, she's still off from her surgery,
• 38:46
  but every once in a while,
• 38:48
  like while she's working and she'll text
• 38:49
  me and she's like, I need a drink.
• 38:51
  I'm like,
• 38:51
  you haven't had a drink in two fucking
• 38:52
  years.
• 38:53
  I don't think you need a drink.
• 38:54
  I think you need to relax.
• 38:55
  Maybe go take a walk.
• 38:58
  Yeah.
• 38:58
  Well,
• 39:01
  a Bloody Mary sounded really good at nine
• 39:03
  AM this morning.

• 39:52

• 39:55
  That stuff's actually pretty good.
• 39:56
  I used to drink a lot of craft
• 39:58
  beer,
• 39:58
  and the Athletic Brew stuff with no
• 40:00
  alcohol is actually pretty tasty.

  COVID is what helped me get into bourbon
• 40:31
  because we had nothing else to do but
• 40:33
  work, work out, and drink.
• 40:35
  That was literally what me and my wife
• 40:36
